Narcolepsy & Marijuana?
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
After reading some posts here I noticed that two people with Narcolepsy posted that marijuana has been beneficial to them. I live in California where medical marijuana is legal but my doctor refuses to recommend it, sold entirely on the idea that medical weed is just a way for stoner's to get weed legally. I've smoked weed for years and can tell you that when I feel an attack coming on
just a couple of hits (not enough to get wasted) does the trick. When an attack comes on I feel like my head becomes heavy, there is a dull kind of sensation that in my head and all I want to do is sleep. After taking a couple of hits that sensation is gone, as is my desire to drop off to sleep. The benefit can last for hours. I know it seems stupid (at least to me) that you'd take something that in effect is a downer to prevent the attack when doctors recommend meds that amp you up thus going in the opposite direction as weed, but its worked for me. Anyone else try this or had any success
or not with marijuana? I'd like to know.

I have been smoking since just a few months before I was finally diagnosed. I have just recently come to realize it actually helps me stay awake. I sort of attribute this to how marijuana makes you more attentive/interested in your surroundings.
Of course I also use it to help me sleep at night.
I've found that I can't really smoke too early in the day, or I am really out of it and sleepy afterwards.
Do you take provigil?
For some time now I have been bothered by the question of whether my appalling memory loss is caused more by provigil or more by marijuana. Or, by the narcolepsy itself, as I'm still at the age where its supposed to be 'progressing' (and indeed it seems to be).
I also think sometimes that "I was a stoner way before I was ever a stoner". Meaning, I started smoking at the end of my senior year of high school, but I'd slept through class (when I managed to show up) since middle school, and always been a little hazy/forgetful/confused. This story, of being thought 'lazy', seems to be a very familiar one to us narcoleptics.

Hi takemantwo,
Thanks for the response. I will hit the points you make in your reply one by one and end with my recent research on Narcoleptic's & the Evil Weed!
To answer your question... Do I take Provigil? I recently started Provigil after using amphetamines successfully for the last 10 years. I was on Provigil a total of four days and could not function, think straight, and I slept all 4 days. My doc took me off of it and put me back on speed.
Like you me & weed don't get along in the mornings... No Wake & Bake here. It'll send me right back to bed for the day. I'm worthless after smoking in the morning... haven't attempted it in years.
After noon its fine. This is also the most common time for my sleep attacks... from 1pm to 3pm daily. Although they come any time of day after I've been idle for 5 to 10 minutes... I'm out.
I've been blogging with a sleep expert, Dr. Steve Poceta, MD on another health site I belong too. I put the MJ question to him as it effects me. The good doc wrote in his reply... "The feeling of head heaviness is a very common description of the sleepiness experienced by a narcoleptic. THC stimulates brain dopamine which is a stimulant, and most people experience a stimulant effect immediately after smoking MJ, so your experience makes sense."
He goes on to caution about the long-term
effects of MJ vs. low doses of prescription Dexedrine. Both pose risks.
So a couple of MJ hits off a pipe, like any medication will certainly effect individual people differently, but used as described above it helps me a lot.
Take care,

I have always been on edge because of the stimulants prescribed for the narcolepsy. Short fused, easily angered and agressive can describe me at times. Im a real funny guy and love to laugh but can be set off easily at times. Anyway I discovered Marijuana in Highschool and it was like being reunited with my long lost friend. My mood control and state of mind were 1,000 times better than before. Also as it applies to your post it does help keep me awake if not over used like you mentioned. Also it does help me sleep at night as well.
What you mentioned earlier about it being wierd that marijuana being a depresent would actually help us to stay awake isnt as wierd asa you might think. Doctors are set in there ways prescribing stimulants and then closing there minds to anything else. Our whole society is based on this frame of mind..work harder, work longer, sleep less, take stimulants, make more $$$ blah blah blah. You know what Im saying? They need to open there minds to all possabilities and stop closing the door on Marijuana because they were brain washed into thinking its evil.
I dont want to get to off topic (srry) Any way Im in process of trying to get my medical marijuana card in Oregon. I also get migrains frequently and marijuana really helps me.
Good luck with your treatment

MJ doesn't work for everyone Braden, but neither does, Provigil or Prozac for example. But for those who find relief from using it all I can say is good for you!
Recently I saw my doctor regarding the meds I take for narcolepsy and mentioned to him my experience with MJ. I asked if he would be willing to write a script for it since California is a legal medical MJ state. His answer is the great "cop-out" that many docs use... "There are no studies done on MJ use on ppl with narcolepsy," there-fore the answer is no.
Well of course theres no research available on it... No one is willing to fund such a study, and as long as the federal gov't refuses to ignore state law and threaten these doctors with jail and ruin there never will be. I don't want to go to one of the "Pot Doc's" here that will provide anyone with a MJ script for $175. because in my opinion they are a joke.
My thoughts are this... When we take our medical conditions serious enough to seek out alternative options, and we find some relief in these alternatives then at least we have tried to grasp onto a better life for ourselves. By doing so does not make us criminals, every living person on this planet can be expected to do exactly the same when options present themselves. But the American government in its ass-backwards hypocritical beliefs
will never act in the best interest of people when their own best interests of obtaining $$$$ stands in the way.
It is the sad state of affairs in the USA that our gov't believes it has the authority to act against those who seek relief when in fact they lack the moral ground to support any law that makes criminals out of people who are not! But thats the way it is. And NO I DO NOT HAVE A POT CARD IN MY STATE AND WILL CONTINUE TO GET MY WEED FROM THE BLACK MARKET, LEGALLY OR NOT AS IT HAS PROVEN TO PROVIDE ME WITH RELIEF THAT THE PRESCRIPTION NARCOTICS THEY PROVIDE ME WITH DO NOT. Not to mention the pot is safer & not addictive. Thats being a responsible person and taking care of myself. There is NO CRIME in my behavior and there are NO VICTIMS!
By the way I graduated from Aloha High School in 77, in Beaverton not far from you! If it works for you keep doing it - if not move on. Good luck!

I wish smoking were legal here. I agree with what you guys have said. For some reason, smoking keeps my awake. Not alert, mind you, but I can't fall asleep after I smoke either...for whatever that's worth. I'm not really sure why. I should do more research into the neural mecahnisms involved.

Right on guys. I really feel that the message that marijuana isnt evil is spreading. Im optomistic that our generation will make it legal one day. Once all the stuff shirts are retired and the reigns have been passed to us we can make some progress. Keep on keeping on.
Oh ya kinda off topic but really important to me is that for 1 week now I have been taking some health products (vitamins and other supplements) trying to get my body in better health. Im on the 5th day and have stopped needing my afternoon nap. My energy level has skyrocketed and also Im sleeping much beter than I was before. Just wanted to pass it on, lol Im so happy I have to tell someone.

Hey Lost nights - Its likely that the reason you have problems getting to sleep after burning weed is because the THC in the weed releases dopamine that is stored in our brains. Dopamine is a natural chemical produced by the brain that can be released for many reasons or by many triggers, like smoking pot. Dopamine is associated with "POSITIVE" feelings, events, etc. When someone gives you a hug, a small amount of dopamine is released into our system. Serotonin is another bio-chemical that is naturally produced. It is linked to negative feelings and emotions. Serotonin re-uptake inhibitors such as Prozac and Zoloft prevent Serotonin from re-uptake once released by the brain. This is done to control depression. Hope that helps.

If you want to be technical, Mj was created by the all mighty. I use to live in California, and I think it's cool that they have the med clinics there. I do not like the whole, (take this medication), have you seen the millions of commericals, strickly put there by our government by the pharaceutical companies. It's not legal here in texas, which is a shame. It does help to keep you awake, I don't think I could work though after having any MJ, it makes the mind race in some people. The provigil has been causing me to have headaches lately, and I use to suffer from migraines, so any kind of headache is not enjoyable. So the thought of having to take some pill for the rest of my life, i'm not thrilled about it.

Stocking up
During the past 40 years, the Amarillo Globe-News Empty Stocking Fund has become an area tradition — one that truly reflects the spirit of the Christmas season.
The AGN recently kicked off the latest Empty Stocking Fund campaign (Empty Stocking Fund has raised about $2.8M since 1972, Nov. 17,
amarillo.com), and if history is any indication, the Amarillo area will once again make it a success.
Despite the economic ups and downs of the past four decades — especially in the Golden Spread — the Amarillo area has always responded, piling up almost $3 million to help those among us.
Unlike many national stories that paint charitable organizations unfavorably — some warranted — the Empty Stocking Fund maintains its local commitment and its local focus — the money raised helps people in the Amarillo area, more than 2,000 in 2011.
It may be called the Empty Stocking Fund, but thanks to the Amarillo area's time-tested generosity, the holidays will not be totally empty for those in need.
OSCE can make reservations in Florida
U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., finally brought to an end last week yet another disputed election in Florida.
West announced he was ending his fight over vote totals in the race against Democrat Patrick Murphy in the state's 18th district.
According to CBS News, Murphy bested West by 0.58 percent, prompting the incumbent to question vote totals in certain counties. West's camp said last week they will no longer contest the election.
Here's a suggestion for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, an international group that monitored U.S. elections around the country on Election Day — and took a little heat in Texas from state Attorney General Greg Abbott for its presence: In the future, there is no need to travel across America in order to find out how we conduct elections.
Hold up exclusively in Florida.
Why would you need to go anywhere else?
Not so tickled with Elmo
If only Mitt Romney had the clairvoyance to see what was coming down the road for "Sesame Street."
It turns out Romney, the vanquished GOP presidential nominee, picked the wrong target for criticism of how the federal government helps fund public broadcasting — rather than piling on Big Bird, Romney should have singled out Elmo.
The person who pulled Elmo's strings, puppeteer Kevin Clash, resigned last week from the popular and iconic children's television show on allegations related to sexual conduct with a youth.
During the presidential debates, Romney used Big Bird as an example of wasteful government spending, a statement that became a highlight for Republicans and Democrats.
Romney's take that Uncle Sam shouldn't be paying the salary of Elmo — rather than Big Bird — would look downright prophetic today.
As the saying goes, timing is everything.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) undertook an investigation into the effects of bullying, in the hopes to find if there is a connection to the increasing teen and adolescent suicide rates.
Upon looking into what is known about suicide, the CDC determined that students exhibit an increased risk when they have multiple stressors coming from personal relationships, family, friends, school or work.
Another finding was that students involved in any bullying behavior (on the giving, receiving, or witnessing spectrum) are more likely to raise the risk associated with characteristics of suicidal teens such as helplessness or hopelessness.
Adolescents and teens that have any involvement in bullying with any additional risk factors for helpless or hopeless feelings have an increased risk of suicidal tendencies. However, there is no clear indication that bullying alone directly causes suicide.
According to the CDC, "Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose. Bullying can occur in-person or through technology."
Some of the repercussions of bullying include: depression, anxiety, involvement in interpersonal violence or sexual violence, substance abuse, poor social functioning, and poor school performance, including lower grade point averages, standardized test scores, and poor attendance.
As educators are spending the majority of time throughout the day with students, it is important for preventative bullying and suicide measures be integrated into schools.
Students who feel connected to schools are less likely to engage in suicide related behaviors. Teachers can help by personalizing the instruction, using students names, showing care and concern, and encouraging extracurricular activities. Such connectedness with positive caring adults builds trust and helps lower the risk of students with social and emotional stressors.
Students with differences from others creates a platform for bullying. Often adolescents and teens with disabilities, learning challenges, cultural differences, or sexuality differences stand a high risk of being bullied. School staff needs to take an active role in anti-bullying to help eliminate the risk for these students. Traditional conflict mediation will not stop the power struggle seen in bullying situations. Pushing the administration and students to be a part of an anti-bullying peer inclusion program will help protect students who may appear different than others.
Coping Mechanisms
Adolescents and teens with appropriate coping methods are less likely to have suicidal tendencies. Helping students find healthy and peaceful ways to resolve conflicts also lends to a lowered participation in bullying. By helping students accept differences in themselves and others through positive and empowering life skills, teachers help reduce the urge to bully and provide tangible assistance to help students deal with being bullied.
All students involved with bullying need support. Bullies are at a much higher risk for suicidal behaviors than non-bullying students. The bullies that are being bullied at home or school or in other situations have the highest rate of depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide among students. Children who are bullied often have an increased risk for self-harming behaviors and thoughts as well. The biggest difference a teacher can make is to provide support internal and external for all people and their families involved in the bullying event. Often the students acting out are trying to fit in, deal with stress at home or school, deal with abuse, or a myriad of other issues over just being mean. Punishment may provide the consequence for the action, but counseling and support provide the additional measure to ensure prevention for the future. Focusing on the negative, blaming, shaming, and criminalizing the bully leads to blockages from the desired positive changes and prevention of future bullying.
Students that witness bullying can have long-term negative consequences. The feeling of helplessness increases while their feeling of connectedness decreases. Encourage students to speak out to caring staff about things they witness to help improve school climate and prevent violence or abuse in others. By providing positive ways students can make anti-bullying the norm, adolescents and teens become instrumental to the change effected through the lens of anti-bullying. It becomes uncool or unacceptable when witnessed, helping to create a negative stigma associated with being a bully and silently witnessing such acts.

#20 Texas A&M Tops UMass Women's Soccer, 3-1
Sept. 13, 2013
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The UMass women's soccer team hung tough with #20 Texas A&M, but a hat trick by Shea Groom helped carry the Aggies past the Minutewomen, 3-1 on Friday evening at Ellis Field. The setback leaves UMass at 1-4-1, while Texas A&M improves to 4-2-1 on the season.
Early in the first half, Groom gave her squad a 2-0 lead with two goals just 59 seconds apart. On her first tally, Groom dribbled around several Minutewomen defenders and sent a shot along the ground into the bottom right corner of the net 16:27 into the contest.
Then at the 17:26 mark, Groom corralled the ball amidst a scrum in the penalty area and poked it home for her second of the night.
UMass cut its deficit in half in the 33rd minute. Following her own throw in, sophomore Rebekka Sverrisdóttir collected the ball off a deflection from an Aggie defender and served it towards the top of the 18-yard box. Senior Brittany Moore brought the service down and lofted it over netminder Jordan Day for her second goal in as many games.
The Minutewomen nearly tied the score in the 66th minute. Sophomore Jackie Bruno found junior Alyssa D'Arcy with a centering cross, but D'Arcy's shot went just wide of the left goal post.
Groom later sealed the victory for Texas A&M, completing her hat trick at the 79:15 mar by sending a ball home from the top of the six-yard box.
The Aggies finished with a 32-8 advantage in shots and led in corner kicks, 10-2. Fouls were even at seven apiece.
Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Danielle Kriscenski recorded a season-high 10 saves on the night, while Day made two stops for Texas A&M.
UMass will close out its trip to Texas with a 1:00 p.m. (ET) match on Sunday, Sept. 15, against Lamar at Tomball High School in Tomball, Texas.

There will be nine skiers and riders from Lake Tahoe ski resorts competing in the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, which run from Feb. 7-23.
Here is a look at the Tahoe athletes competing for Olympic medals in February.
Northstar California
David Wise: He is the only skier on the Northstar Pro Team, which features some of the world's top snowboarders, including two-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White, Chas Guldemond, Elena Hight, and Eero Ettala.
After an injury Feb. 4 in a slopestyle practice, White injured his wrist and dropped out of Men's Slopestyle. White will compete in the halfpipe only.
Wise grew up in Reno and has trained at Northstar the past decade. He credits some of his success, which includes the 2013 FIS World Champion title, to the design and builds of Northstar's parks and pipes.
"I was never the most talented kid on the mountain, but I was determined to constantly improve," Wise said. "Each season has been a little better than the last one. And here I am."
Chas Guldemond: He's been snowboarding since 1996, competing since 1997, and turned pro in 2006.
Guldemond is another member of the first-ever U.S. Olympic slopestyle team. He's in good company, joining heralded teammate White, who has also trained at Northstar the past two years, and Sage Kotsenburg of Park City.
"It's been so much hard work and sacrifice to get to this point," said Guldemond, who uses a double backside as one of his go-to tricks. "I'm exhausted from all these (Olympic) qualifying events."
Squaw Valley
Julia Mancuso: Now a four-time Olympian, Mancuso is the headliner of the Squaw group for obvious reasons. She was the gold medalist in the giant slalom at the 2006 Winter Olympics and silver medalist in both downhill and combined at the 2010 Vancouver Games.
Mancuso started World Cup racing at age 15, was a champion at 16, and competed in the Olympics one year later.
Her three Olympic medals are the most ever for a female American alpine skier. Is she ready for what is likely her final Winter Olympics?
"Things are going in the right direction and I know I have a lot more in me," Mancuso said. "Training has been going really well and racing is getting better, so I'm getting there just in time for the Olympics."
Nate Holland: One of the oldest U.S. team members at age 35, Holland will be competing in his third Olympics. He finished 14th at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and took fourth in 2010.
A snowboarder cross specialist, he has seven X Games gold medals and defines the sport's chaotic style by going all-out in every race.
Travis Ganong: He launched his World Cup ski career in 2010 and has quickly become a bright star on the U.S. team.
Last year, Ganong posted top-30 finishes in all but two World Cup downhills, including a career-best seventh on the difficult Stelvio speed track in Bormio, Italy.
Perhaps the season's best moment came when Ganong took the super G gold at the U.S. Alpine Championships held at Squaw.
Marco Sullivan: He grew up in Lake Tahoe and reportedly was skiing down a snow-covered gravel hill in his backyard at age 3.
For Sullivan, the 2013 season proved to be his best since his first World Cup win in 2008. He enjoyed a season-opening downhill podium in Lake Louise and he finished 14th in the season-long standings.
Jamie Anderson: Look for Anderson to definitely be in contention for a medal in snowboard slopestyle, which is making its Olympic debut. She is the favorite to take gold in the Women's Slopestyle, which begins Thursday.
No matter what fixes they make to the slopestyle course in Sochi, there's no taking the danger completely out of slopestyle.
"The course is a little intense," Anderson said. "Everyone's making the best of it. I'm having a questionable time getting used to it. But I'm just being slow, patient, taking them one jump at a time. At the end of the day, we're just snowboarding."
Anderson made her first X Games appearance at age 13, and quickly became a star, taking a bronze medal two years later.
She has built a reputation as the most solid slopestyle rider in the business, thanks to her enormous talent, exceptional style, and a bag full of tricks.
"I can imagine how humbling it's going to be to just walk through the opening ceremonies in Sochi," Anderson said. "I feel slopestyle is going to bring a new, fun energy to the Games. There's a lot of amazing athletes, so it's hard to say how I'm going to do."
Hannah Teter: She already possesses what all her U.S. teammates desire – a gold medal – which Teter won as a halfpipe skier in 2006. She came back four years later to claim a silver medal in the same event in Vancouver.
Teter, 27, is from a family of snowboarders who grew up in Vermont. Two of her four older brothers (Elijah, Abe) competed on the U.S. Snowboard team and oldest brother Amen acts as his sister's manager.
Maddie Bowman: She just turned 20 and is definitely another rising freestyle skiing star from Sierra-at-Tahoe. Last week, Bowman defended her title, taking first in the women's Ski SuperPipe at the X Games in Aspen.
Bowman and Anderson both grew up in Meyers and were a part of the Rippers and Sierra-at-Tahoe team programs.

"Many roads are lacking their final topping," says Patrick Sheehan, Kenosha's city attorney. "This is usually done when trucks have left the area. Unfortunately, Neumann has left the area."
To solve the problem, the city hopes to draw on the
existing letters of credit.
"Municipalities have letters of credit that are posted
by the builder with 120 percent of the amount estimated to complete
the improvements for roads, water, and sewers and storm detention,"
says Allen C. Balk, an attorney at Meltzer, Purtill & Stelle LLC.
"These letters of credit are still good because
this is money put aside by the lender. It will be the banks that
will have to pay for it, and they will have it worse than the consumers."
How can potential buyers protect themselves?
Both Cross and Balk recommend checking out the builder before purchasing a home. Look at the progress in the subdivision. Drive around. Is anyone working? If it looks like there isn't that much production, it may be indicative of other issues.
"You can never assume the builder will always be there," Cross says.
Knock on doors and ask people if they are happy with their home. If you decide you want to live in that community, purchase a completed inventory home, which eliminates much of the risk.
Look up the company on the Internet. If it's a public company, you'll be able to find out how it's doing in different markets. Find out if land is being revalued.
"There is plenty of information out there, but a homebuyer has to do his or her homework," Balk says.
Buyers should also make sure that their earnest money
is in a third-party escrow account, because if there is a bankruptcy,
there is a right to terminate the deal.
"If the money is not in such an account, you become
an unsecured creditor," Balk says. However, this provision can vary
from state to state, so it's up to the buyer to find out if this
is done in their state.
Buyers sometimes can add a "springing provision" to their contract. This is a clause in the contract that allows the buyer to walk away if the builder files for bankruptcy protection. Most contracts don't contain them. This clause only "springs" into effect with a bankruptcy filing.
"There is nothing wrong with asking your lawyer to put this in the contract," says Balk. "It's important to check with your state to see how enforceable this clause is."
Still, Meltzer, the attorney who represents home builders, remains optimistic that things will work out.
"Depending how long the development sits there," he says, "it could have an adverse effect on the value of your home. But if progress is being made and houses are being delivered, it shouldn't have an effect on the value of your home, meaning it shouldn't be different than the general marketplace."

SEATTLE — One of the last Ducks off the field Saturday was quarterback Marcus Mariota, after he did a quick television interview following No. 2 Oregon's 45-24 win over No. 16 Washington at Husky Stadium.
Fresh off a day that featured 454 yards of total offense and four touchdowns, Mariota jogged to the UO locker room in the southeast corner of the stadium. Oregon fans had crowded into that corner of the otherwise empty grandstands, and a chant began.
Facing his toughest test yet this season, Mariota passed with flying colors — no pun intended. The Huskies were the latest defense whose primary mission was to stop the UO running game, and Mariota responded by completing 24-of-31 passes for 366 yards and three touchdowns.
He also ran 13 times for 88 yards and another touchdown. And all of that before an audience that included not just tens of thousands of hostile UW fans and several thousand Duck fans, but also a press box that housed an estimated dozen Heisman Trophy voters.
Mariota entered this week leading the Heisman race according to the Heisman Pundit web site and ESPN's "Experts' Poll." He won over more support with his play against the Huskies.
"He's right in the heart of it with guys like (Texas A&M's Johnny) Manziel, (Louisville's Teddy) Bridgewater and (Clemson's Tajh) Boyd," said Stewart Mandel of SI.com, one of the Heisman voters in attendance Saturday. "But this performance today may put him at the top."
Along with Heisman voters from local media covering Oregon and Washington, Saturday's press box included national writers with votes including Mandel, Pat Forde of Yahoo! Sports and George Schroeder of USA Today.
"Mariota's talent is undeniable; his statistics are impressive; but his poise is the reason he should be on top of everyone's list of Heisman candidates," Schroeder said after the game. "Halfway through the season, he's got to be the front-runner."
Mariota's poise — that "laid-back, cool-breeze" style as Chip Kelly once put it — was on display throughout Saturday. With the game tied 7-7 early in the second quarter, he rolled out to his right before hitting Bralon Addison for a go-ahead touchdown, and Mariota did the same on an 18-yard pass to Pharaoh Brown during the Ducks' next touchdown drive.
"I trust those guys to get open," said Mariota, who improved to 18-1 as a starter and 9-0 away from Autzen Stadium in his career. "Whenever I'm under duress, I know they'll get open. I just have to find them."
One week after suffering what have been typical early game jitters for him, Mariota was sharp from the start Saturday. He completed 13 of his first 15 attempts, and the two he didn't were drops, including a potential touchdown by Keanon Lowe. And Mariota also played into the fourth quarter for the first time this season, leading the Ducks to two final touchdowns after UW closed within 31-24 late in the third.
A local media report earlier in the week focused on Mariota's relative lack of experience in the fourth quarter, and how he might have the chance to put that to rest Saturday. He did, with impressive results.
"From the day he first got to Oregon, he's been poised," UO offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Scott Frost said. "I haven't ever seen anything rattle him. People try to pick out a new thing that is his weakness every week, and this week it was he couldn't play in the fourth quarter. So we'll see what it is next week.
"But I've said this 110 times, we wouldn't trade our guy for anybody in the country."
In this case, that's not just coach-speak. Not when Mariota's performing like he is in fact the best player in the country.
"I don't have a Heisman vote, but I'd be hard-pressed to say we'll see a better quarterback this year," UW coach Steve Sarkisian said. "That guy is special. I don't know when he's planning on going to the NFL, but when he does I think he'll be a top-five draft pick. He's a hell of a player.
"To contain him we had a couple different plans depending on what their plan was. The general plan was to try to keep him in the pocket, and then when he ran the ball to make sure we always had somebody with their eyes on him to go tackle him. Unfortunately when that happened he ran away from our guys that had their eyes on him.
"He's just a difficult matchup. And when we really tried to bring more people to keep him there and get more one-on-one matchups down the field, their speed in the slot against our safeties I thought was a real factor in the game. And then he just threw accurate ball after accurate ball. What was our answer at that point? That's what was frustrating for us."

Carol N. Shiffman, executive director of several multidisciplinary arts organizations with over 25 years experience in dance and arts education, has been appointed Dean of the School of the Arts, Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College, State University of New York, effective July 1.
"We welcome Carol," said Thomas J. Schwarz, President of Purchase College. "She is an extraordinary educator and arts presenter whose commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration and academic excellence make her an ideal candidate to lead the Conservatory of Dance and continue to enhance its internationally-renowned programs."
Ms. Shiffman succeeds Carol K. Walker who was at the helm of the Conservatory of Dance for the past 23 years.
"Dance has always been at the heart of Ms. Shiffman's commitment to the arts," said Elizabeth Langland, Provost of Purchase College. "She has been a practicing dance artist, the artistic director of a dance company and executive director of multidisciplinary arts organizations such as Centrum in Port Townsend, Washington, and senior staff for the statewide California Arts Council. She was the founder and artistic director of Momentum, the professional modern dance company in Los Angeles and has always had a strong personal imperative to contribute to the growth of the next generation of aspiring artists."
"I have enormous respect for the Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College and the profound impact it has had on the lives of its students and in the dance world," said Ms. Shiffman. "I am honored to assume its leadership."
"Experimentation and collaboration across boundaries have always been the guiding principles in my work," she continued. "My insistence on excellence extends from my passion for profound teaching and learning, to my aesthetics in choreography, and to all aspects of arts presenting.
"In working with students, I try to support their growth, passion, discipline, reflection and inquiry, and encourage them to take daring risks that are grounded in knowledge and respect for the traditions they are challenging. My aim is to help contextualize the role of the arts as an essential, primary experience, and to explore the role of the dance artist in the 21st century."
A native of New York, Ms. Shiffman joins Purchase from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington, where she had served as chair of the music department since 2004 and oversaw a 50 percent growth in enrollment. She also increased community partnerships, expanded the performance series, and provided new performance opportunities for students.
During her six years at Centrum (1998-2003), a multifaceted arts center, she expanded a series of workshops, concerts and festivals, developed a new dance program, and reinvented a residency program that brought over 100 artists to live and work there for up to four weeks.
As program manager at the California Arts Council for 11 years (1987-1998), she promoted excellence in the arts of many cultures. She directed many programs including the Artists in Communities portion of the Artists in Residency program and fostered the careers of many diverse artists and arts organizations. Over 500 grantees were funded annually and she assisted in developing the concept and legislation for the Wayne Thiebaud-designed arts license plate.
As director of Momentum for 10 years (1976-1986), she developed a touring company that over time expanded into a multi-arts center. Interdisciplinary exploration was integral to her work, which included collaborations with musicians, sculptors, painters, and theater and design artists.
During this time, she also helped organize and establish the Los Angeles Area Dance Alliance (now the Dance Resource Center) and the California Association of Dance Companies (now Dance USA).
"Throughout my career I have sought to develop expansive and inclusive programs that allow for creativity and individuality within a clear structure, and with defined long-term goals," said Ms. Shiffman.
Her love for dancing began at age 5 at the Henry Street Settlement House in New York.
She earned her undergraduate degree in comparative literature with a minor in dance at the University of Rochester. She studied at the Sorbonne and UCLA where she earned 54 units toward a master's degree in dance. She also studied education, arts management, and film and television at UCLA and at California State University, Dominguez Hills.
She studied dance with the Martha Graham School, Alwin Nikolais Company, Merce Cunningham Company, Jose Limon Company and Bella Lewitsky Dance Company. She has danced in New York, Paris and Los Angeles, and founded the Momentum Dance Company after studying in the graduate dance program at UCLA.
She has taught modern dance, composition, production, performance, dance history, improvisation and yoga and was the director of the dance program at Long Beach City College from 1982-1985.

The Fresno State Bulldogs scored eight runs in the fourth inning, six in the sixth and five more in the seventh to trounce the Nevada Wolf Pack 20-10 Thursday night at Peccole Park to open a three-game Mountain West series.
The 20 runs are the most scored by one team in a Mountain West game this season. It is also the most runs Fresno State has scored in a game since it beat New Mexico State 21-11 on May 7, 2010 and the most runs the Wolf Pack has allowed since a 22-17 loss at Santa Barbara on April 1, 2000 when the program was in the Big West Conference.
It is also the most runs the Pack has allowed at Peccole Park since a 21-12 loss to Fullerton on March 24, 2000. The 20 runs is also the most runs Fresno State has scored in a game against the Wolf Pack since a 26-7 win over Nevada in 1984. Fresno State had scored 19 runs in a game against the Pack three times since 1984 (in 1987, 2001, 2006).
The Wolf Pack has now lost seven regular season games in a row to Fresno State, dating back to last season. The Bulldogs swept the Pack in a three-game series in Fresno earlier this season (Feb. 21-23).
The Pack actually took a 3-1 lead on Thursday with three runs in the second inning. The Bulldogs, though, scored the next 19 runs. Brody Russell drove in four runs for the Bulldogs and now is hitting .205 on the season with a dozen RBI. Manny Argomaniz was 3-for-4 with three RBI and is now hitting .213 this season.
Chris Mariscal hit his third homer of the season for Fresno and Austin Guibor hit his first.
The Bulldogs roughed up Pack pitching for 20 hits. The Wolf Pack also walked six Fresno hitters and committed three errors, leading to four unearned Bulldog runs.
Wolf Pack starter Barry Timko allowed six hits and five earned runs and walked three in 3.1 innings to fall to 4-2 on the season. Timko threw just 47 of his 84 pitches for strikes.
Mark Nowaczewski, Ryan Baker, Michael Bradshaw and Jordan Dunatov followed Timko to the mound and allowed 14 hits and 15 runs (11 earned) over the final 5.2 innings.
The Pack scored four runs in the eighth inning and three more in the ninth to finish with 10 or more runs in a game for just the third time this season. Ryan Teel hit a two-run homer in the ninth for the Pack.
The Bulldogs sent seldom-used pitchers Fred Schlichtholz (eight appearances) and Connor Chase (five appearances) to the mound the final four innings to mop up the blowout victory.
Trenton Brooks had three hits for the Wolf Pack. The Pack had 15 hits, including two each by Kewby Meyer, Austin Byler, Bryce Barger, Teel and Bryce Greager.
The Pack fell to 19-16 overall and 11-8 in the Mountain West with the loss. Fresno State improved to 19-19 and 8-11. The Pack is still in third place in the Mountain West behind New Mexico (11-4) and UNLV (13-6) and ahead of San Diego State (10-8), Fresno State (8-11), San Jose State (6-12) and Air Force (3-13).
The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the Pack in Mountain West games.
The Wolf Pack and Bulldogs will conclude this series with a game Friday night (6 p.m.) and Saturday afternoon (1 p.m.).

Since mid-May, 2013 Phil Hansen has been crowdsourcing his current Life's Big Questions art project entitled philinthecircle. This artist put out a cyberspace call to those willing to submit answers to the artist's posed question, "What's your limitation?" From the crowdsourced replies Hansen is creating art in real time viewable via livestream.
Phil Hansen's favorite way to express art used to be creating pieces with the creative placement of dots describing himself as a pointillist. It was during this time that he developed an unruly tremor in his hand.
Phil speaks about this in his Feb. 2013 TED talk he gave in Long Beach, Calif., Phil Hansen: Embrace the Shake. His points soon became tadpole looking marks. The more he tried to control it, the worse it became. He was devastated, no longer creating, until a neurologist suggested that Hansen embrace the limitation. The suggestion had him asking questions about what else may be possible.
At the time this article is being published there is still about another 24 hours if you would like to become involved with this crowdsourced project.

Here are some examples :
1) The mangoes (will ripe/ripe/will ripen) over time said John.
2) The least considered in the latest Terrorist attacks (are/were/was) the innocent victims.
My choice for 1) would be:
"ripe" if it is considered as a fact, so present tense is good choice.
"will ripe" if it is considered as an opinion of John rather than a fact; the sentence is in the past tense, so past tense is good choice.
My choice for 2) would be:
"were" if it is in newspaper article and it describes a past event.
"are" if it is live reporting of a statement.
I have checked them in this checker, and results show that all of the options are correct.
EDIT1 :And what about:
This (calls/calls for/calls against) a treat.
Uprooting plants (is/are/have been/was) like uprooting your life.
Also please suggest most critical points to consider if possible while answering such questions and apologies for not following the standards for asking the question, i am a newbie so i am getting acquainted with it.But I have done research for these questions and did not get the answer , that's why asked here.

A behavioral intervention plan (BIP) is created for a specific child to try to help them learn to change their behavior to become more appropriate for the school setting. This behavioral intervention plan (BIP) is a plan that is based on the results of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA). At the very least, this plan should include a description of the problem behavior, global and specific thoughts as to why the child is exhibiting the problem behavior and intervention strategies which include positive behavioral supports and services to address the behavior.
A behavioral intervention plan must be developed when the student with a disability is exhibiting persistent behaviors that impede his or her learning or that of others, despite consistently implemented general school-wide or classroom-wide interventions; or when the student's behavior places the student or others at risk of harm or injury; or in the event the Individualized Education Plan Team (IEP) is considering more restrictive programs or placements as a result of the student's behavior; and/or the student is subject to disciplinary actions and a determination has been made that the behavior is related to the student's disability.
What information must a behavioral intervention plan include?
A behavioral intervention plan must identify the following:
• The baseline measure of the problem behavior, including the frequency, duration, intensity and/or latency of the targeted behaviors.
• Such baseline must, to the extent practicable, include data taken across activities, settings, people and times of the day.
• The baseline data must be used as a standard to establish performance criteria and against which to evaluate intervention effectiveness;
• Intervention strategies to be used to alter antecedent events to prevent the occurrence of the behavior, teach individual alternative and adaptive behaviors to the student, and provide consequences for the targeted inappropriate behavior(s) and alternative acceptable behavior(s); and
• A schedule to measure the effectiveness of the interventions, including the frequency, duration and intensity of the targeted behaviors at scheduled intervals.
For a student whose behavior impedes his or her learning or that of others, what information must be included in the IEP? The individualized education program (IEP) must indicate if a particular device or service, including an intervention, accommodation or other program modification is needed to address the student's behavior that impedes his or her learning or that of others. A student's need for a behavioral intervention plan must be documented in the IEP and such plan must be reviewed at least annually by the IEP team.
Progress monitoring of a student's behavioral intervention plan is essential to ensure that the behavior intervention plan is appropriate. The implementation of a student's behavioral intervention plan must include regular progress monitoring of the frequency, duration and intensity of the behavioral interventions at scheduled intervals, as specified in the BIP and on the student's IEP.
The results of the progress monitoring must be documented and reported to the student's parents and to the IEP team. This information must be considered in any determination to revise a student's behavioral intervention plan or IEP.

The Atlantic 10 Conference schedule is cookin' now and Virginia Commonwealth flew out to Dayton to play the University of Dayton Flyers in that big UD Arena they play in. UD came into tonight at 13-5 and 1-2 in A-10 play while VCU is a game better at 14-4 and 2-1 in the A-10.
Dayton shoots 46.1 % as a team (nationally number 41) which means they get a lot of close up shots. VCU on the contrary doesn't have a tremendous shooting percentage though, to be fair, they launch a lot of threes which cuts that number way down.
Each of these teams scores just about the same number of points/game. Dayton scores 76.1 points/game (number 78 nationally) while VCU scores 75.3 points/game (number 96 nationally.)
VCU is number one in D1 hoops in steals/game with 12.7 of those.
Tonight in Ohio in Dayton the Rams took on the Flyers in what proved to be a challenge for Dayton who had trouble getting off enough shots to keep the game close enough to win.
Virginia Commonwealth Rams @ University of Dayton Flyers: January 22, 2014--7 P.M.
Dayton had a starting five tonight of Devon Scott, Jordan Sibert, Devin Oliver, Dyshawn Pierre and Khari Price. VCU countered with a starting five of Jordan Burgess, Juvonte Reddic, Rob Brandenburg, Briante Weber and Treveon Graham.
VCU started out launching tonight in the first half; the Rams had six different playes launch threes in the first half on their way to a 36-27 half time lead. The Flyers ended up shooting over 50% in the first half though they only took 21 shots and went 11-21 from the field.
VCU was comfortable shooting threes in the first 20 minutes; they were 6-17 from three-point distance so they kept stretching out Dayton to cover them.
In the second half both teams fouled a lot so the number of field goal attempts was diminished. VCU took a ton of free throws in the second half; VCU pulled away anyway despite the slowdown and attained a 20-point lead (69-49) at 5:55 over Dayton.
VCU coasted to the road win, 80-66.
VCU got a great performance off the bench from guards Melvin Johnson and JeQuan Lewis who combined in 36 minutes of play to shoot 6-11 (5-7 on three-pointers) for 17 points.
Only seven players, believe it or not, took shots tonight for Virginia Commonwealth. Seven players scored points tonight for VCU. Briante Weber (18 points), Treveon Graham (14 points) and Juvonte Reddic (18 points) led the Rams in scoring.
For Dayton Devin Oliver (21 points) and Dyshawn Pierre (14 points) led the Flyers in scoring.
VCU's starters played 143 minutes which is a bit more than they usually play; the Rams starters shot 24-50 from the field. As a team VCU shot 30-61 from the field which included 9-24 from 3-point distance; VCU shot 11-13 free throws for the game, all of them coming in the second half.
Dayton's starters played 125 minutes and shot 7-12 field goals in the first half and 16-28 (5-9 on 3-pointers) for the whole game. As a team Dayton shot 22-47 fom the field including 7-14 on 3-point shots. The Flyers shot 15-26 free throws.
Dayton gave up the ball 18 times on turnovers which accounted for their low number of field goal opportunities; VCU, in contrast, only turned the ball over seven times in the game.

Everything is bigger in Texas, even the bipedal banana that was cited by police on Monday while dancing in an intersection with an AK-47. Guns may be commonplace in the Lone Star State, but anthropomorphic phallic fruits apparently have a way of getting under Texans' collective skin.
It was actually just a stunt for the grand opening of Golden Triangle Tactical gun shop, trying to draw attention to the store. Apparently they saw the Statues of Liberty and Uncle Sams dancing around outside the tax preparation offices that sprout up every year from January through April and decided they wanted a piece of that. But police thought that idea was just bananas.
Oddly enough, though, it wasn't the AK-47 that got him in trouble. It wasn't the banana suit, either, although a law in Texas outlawing banana suits wouldn't surprise anyone.
No, he was merely cited for violating a city ordinance that prohibits soliciting in and alongside roadways. The 18 year old man was found with a 50-round drum to go with his AK-47, but only detained temporarily while being issued a citation for soliciting. It's enough to drive one bonkers.

Thank you for a lovely stay! A beautiful apartment that was clean and welcoming.
Joáo was an excellent host! From staying in touch along the road with many suggestions of interesting things to see to meeting us at the apartment with maps, discount tickets for parking and a bottle of Portuguese wine! Very nice!!!
Great starting point to visit the city. Very friendly and helpful owner. The study is refined and well equipped for cooking too. Very recommended.
Great apartment - or rather: great choice of apartments, because we had the opportunity to choose between several. Extremely attentive and helpful host. Thank you, João, we already have told friends about you and your apartments.
My husband and I stayed 3 nights in this lovely apartment in the centre of Porto. The host (Joao) did everything imaginable to make our stay a success including airport pick up and drop off and suggestions of what to see and where to eat in the city. The apartment was incredibly spacious and comfortable and just a short walk from the river and other major attractions. Very moderately priced, we would thoroughly recommend this apartment for a short or longer stay.
A beautifull room, lots of space, lovely decoration.
Very near by the river.
We had a wonderfull time in Porto. Thanks to Joao!
It has been very nice our trip for Porto. We now are fans of this beauty city.
According to my wife the most beautiful appartment she ever stayed during a holiday! Really great place, right in the old town of Porto with plenty of places to go to and see. It is very new, nicely and comfortably furnished and decorated very tastefully. And very friendly and hospitable hosts. Truly recommended!!!
Very nice apartment well equipped, well established as a few steps from the river. but now there is construction on the street, a non-stop noise from 8 to 18 and difficult access to the building. I do not advice anyone to live in this apartment Currently but when the work is completed yes.
Apartment hat eine gute Lage (zu Fuß 20 Min. ins Zentrum, 5 Min. zur Metro-Station Faria Guimaraes) und ist was die Größe angeht ausreichend für zwei Personen. Leider ist das gesamte Mobiliar, Wände, Treppe, Vorhänge, Fenster, Bad, Küche schon sehr verwohnt. Das größte Manko ist allerdings die Raumluft, im ganzen Apartment riecht es feucht, was wohl am wenigen Lüften und an der schwachen Lüftung im Bad liegt - dies sollte der Vermieter dringend beheben.

Student Spotlight: Alexis Reisch
Alexis Reisch
Major: Associate in Science
When Alexis Reisch was looking at colleges, she hoped to attend a four-year institution on a tennis scholarship. But after exploring her options, she could not find the right school for her.
"College of DuPage was the best choice for me," she said. "It offered so many opportunities, one of which was leadership development."
In addition to playing tennis for one year, Reisch took part in the Living Leadership program and New Student Orientation. She liked that freshmen and sophomores could become officers of clubs and organizations, which would not happen at a four-year school, and she became active in Haven, a student club that deals with human rights in regards to different cultures and religions.
Reisch also participated in a research project with Psychology Professor Ken Gray involving how different mindsets affect outcomes. Gray, Associate Professor of Sociology Mary Jean Cravens and others helped broaden her analytical skills. In 2013, she was named one of the two Outstanding Graduates at College of DuPage.
At the University of Illinois at Chicago, Reisch is studying neuroscience and received the Transfer Merit Award that covered full tuition for one semester. She also was accepted into the Honors College and participated in the school's Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) program, working in a psychiatry lab interpreting results from a diabetes study. She then received the Honors College Tuition Waiver for one semester.
Reisch is now working in a cognitive neuroscience lab associated with the College of Medicine/Department of Psychiatry where she will complete her senior year Honor's Capstone Project. In addition, she is starting a chapter of Nu Rho Psi, which is the national honor society for neuroscience.
Outside of the classroom, Reisch participated on a volunteer trip with Alternative Spring Break doing forest restoration work in Tennessee and volunteered with a student organization called Project ESTEEM (Enrichment of Science Through Exposure to Experimental Models), where she went to shelters to expose children to science.
After earning her bachelor's degree, Reisch wants to continue on to graduate school and would like to conduct research related to emotional trauma and abuse.
"I've always done what everyone else wanted me to do," she said. "College of DuPage helped me find my own voice. The faculty and staff really opened my eyes, and I learned how to explore what I wanted to do."

Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is an extension to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers. The World Wide Web, as conceived by Tim Berners-Lee, was always intended to be a readable and writable medium. However, as the web grew it became a largely read-only medium. WebDAV has emerged as a way to restore that functionality.
Enabling WebDAV in the panel
- Navigate to the (Panel > 'Goodies' > 'Htaccess/WebDAV') page.
- In the list of domains, click the site on which you wish to enable WebDAV.
- Click the Set up a New Directory button to continue.
- Enter the following:
- Directory name: The subdirectory you want to use for WebDAV. If this directory doesn't exist, then it's created automatically.
- Password-protect this dir?: You should check this box for security purposes.
- Enable WebDAV on this dir?: Check this box.
- Directory "name": When you navigate to the WebDAV directory, a popup box opens allowing you to log in. This text is what appears in that box.
- User accounts for this area: Add a user followed by its password. View the Passwords article for instructions on how to create a safe password.
- Forbid linking to files in this dir?: Check this box if you'd like certain file types to be forbidden.
- Forbidden file extensions: Add the forbidden extensions here.
- Domains that may still link: Add domains that will not be forbidden from accessing this content.
- Click the Configure This Directory button to save.
|If you have a lot of directories you wish to enable WebDAV on, you must add users for each directory separately via the panel. Also, users have access to the entire directory once created. See below for finer grained access.
If you'd like to access your WebDAV directory over a secure connection, you must purchase an SSL certificate. Visit the following article for further details:
User access
The DreamHost panel allows you to specify which users have access to a WebDAV-enabled directory. However, by default, each user has full access to all files in the entire directory. This may not be an issue with a very simple WebDAV directory, but as the WebDAV directory grows in users, certain problems may arise. For example:
- There is no file-level security.
- – Users can potentially overwrite edits by another user and even delete another users's file.
- – Any files intended to be private are viewable by all users of the folder.
- User management cannot be done automatically (e.g., no adding users via PHP scripts).
The best solution is to specify access levels (Access-Control-Lists) on a per-folder (or maybe even per-file) basis. As the the user count grows, you can then manage the users and passwords list automatically using scripts.
This can be done by creating/editing an .htaccess file placed in every folder where you want to make an exception.
WebDAV and mod_rewrite
Certain software such as WordPress and Joomla put rewrite directives in your site's base directory, even when installed to a subdirectory. This could possibly interfere with WebDAV access. If so, modify the base .htaccess as follows. Before each RewriteRule add:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/webdavdir
- where webdavdir is the directory you want WebDAV access to. For multiple directories, put them in parentheses separated by pipes, like so:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(webdavdir1|webdavdir2|webdavdir3)
Editing files normally pre-processed by the web server
One problem with WebDAV is that it does not allow you to edit the source of server processed files, including PHP, shtml, Perl, and so on. This is because it uses the same command to "GET" the file as your web browser. The webserver has no way of knowing to not process the PHP file and give you the output instead of the source code.
Adding this line to your .htaccess file disables all processing:
SetHandler default-handler
This forces .php files to show their source, including any passwords you have coded in. You will need to change the permissions on your .htaccess file to edit it. Any changes made to this file will be overwritten if you make any changes in the panel to your htaccess/webdav options.
You could also append .txt to the end of any file to force it to read as a normal text file. For example, change test.php to test.php.txt.
Enabling WebDAV on an entire domain, not just a sub-folder
Creating the WebDAV directory in your DreamHost panel does not allow you to apply WebDAV to an entire domain – it only works on the specific subdirectory. However, using an .htaccess file, you can make it so WebDAV works when visiting the site's URL without the subdirectory.
|WebDAV uses it's own .htaccess and .htpassword file which are controlled by the WebDAV interface and may not always be visible. This may cause "abnormal" behavior in certain instances, such as creating a WebDAV directory off of your domain's root directory (e.g., http://example.com/webdav/). It is suggested that if you're creating a WebDAV directory, you ensure that the target WebDAV (as well as it's parent) are reasonably isolated from your main site.
- Visit the (Panel > 'Goodies' > 'Htaccess/WebDAV') page to set up a directory with WebDAV enabled.
- For the rest of these steps, it's assumed that the directory is called "site".
- If you already have any data or directories you want to include in the new WebDAV site, connect to your new WebDAV share and upload them. The URL of your WebDAV share should be something like http://example.com/site/.
- Don't worry about modifying the links within your pages – they will still work exactly the same way they currently do.
- In the main folder for your domain, create a file called ".htaccess". Make sure you include the period at the start.
- Put the following text into the file:
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !site/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site/$1
- The first line turns on rewriting.
- The second line tells the webserver not to rewrite http://example.com/site/.
- The third line line tells the webserver to rewrite all requests to http://example.com/ to use the data from http://example.com/site/.
- If you have directories that you don't want to be under WebDAV control, add additional RewriteCond lines like the one for "sites". For example, if you don't want the directory "scripts" to be rewritten, then add the following:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !scripts/
When you now visit http://example.com/ you should actually be sent the data from http://example.com/site/, but your URLs will look exactly the same as they did before.

DARFIELD was identified as a natural choice to base the seventh food bank in Barnsley.
Based at the Wesley Church on Barnsley Road, the food bank opened its doors to the needy on Tuesday.
The bank is being run by volunteers from the three churches in Darfield and is a branch of the Barnsley Food Bank Partnership.
Rev Mick Neal stressed the food bank will act as a short-term solution for people and families that are struggling.
"I think in all cases the people that go to food banks are desperate," he said.
"A food bank is to help somebody through a crisis and they can find themselves in one for all sorts of reasons."
A food bank is already based at the Salvation Army in Wombwell but Darfield was viewed by the Barnsley Food Bank partnership as another area in need.

Ice Theatre of New York (ITNY) will honor 1992 Olympic silver medalist Paul Wylie and choreographer Lar Lubovitch at its annual benefit gala.
The event will be held at 7 p.m. on Oct. 26 and will include a performance by the ITNY at Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers. Cocktails, dinner and festivities will follow at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers.
Wylie won the U.S. Olympic Spirit Award in 1992 for his unforregetable achievement in Albertville, France at the Games. After claiming an Olympic medal, Wylie turned professional and enjoyed a long and successful career. He won several professional competitions in 1992-93 and was a popular performer on the Stars on Ice tour for many years.
Wylie also believes in giving back. He is the long-time host of "An Evening With Champions." The event is held yearly at Harvard University -- where Wylie attended undergraduate and graduate school -- and raises money for the Jimmy Fund and other pediatric cancer causes.
Lubovitch will be recognized for his work with many skaters, from pieces, including Wylie, John Curry and Peggy Fleming (the latter for the televised ice ballet, "The Planets.")
ITNY will present the Ice Angel Award to Sky Rink for its recognition of ice skating as performing art and its long-time support.
The gala performance is scheduled to feature a new work by choreographer Douglas Webster, as well as selections from ITNY's existing repertory, which may include "La Revolte des Enfants" by Alberto del Saz, "2:1" by David Liu, "The Dreame," by Jacqulynn Buglisi, "Draughtsman's Contract" by Elisa Monte and "Heart" by JoAnna Mendl Shaw. Among Lubovitch's works, "Gershwin Suite" and "Tilt-a-Whirl" may be presented during this evening's performance.
The evening will support ITNY's New Works and Young Artists Series, an outreach program for public school children in Manhattan and Queens, as well as all of our 2009-2010 season's artistic programming.

Call it a morale-boosting salve to ease the anticipation of spending a year in Iraq.
About 100 miles north of New Orleans at Camp Shelby, Miss., where about 3,000 Louisiana Army National Guard troops are preparing to deploy, soldiers will get a brief reprieve from their war training Sunday to watch the New Orleans Saints take on the Minnesota Vikings and vie for a place in the Super Bowl.
That holds particularly true for the 1st Battalion, 141st Field Artillery Regiment, whose 400 New Orleans-area soldiers departed Jackson Barracks earlier this month.
Their commanders will let the troops call it an early day to watch the NFC championship, although they won't make the trek to New Orleans.
"Our command is very good about letting the guys watch the game," Master Sgt. Pat Sellen said by telephone this week. "They know it's important to them."
The Mississippi National Guard post in the piney woods near Hattiesburg has Morale, Welfare and Recreation break areas equipped with televisions, Sellen said.
But for safe measure, some soldiers hauled their own televisions to Camp Shelby, said Sellen, a Saints fan and Metairie native flung to Walker after Hurricane Katrina swamped his Chalmette home.
The anticipation has been building all week, he said, as soldiers' banter has largely focused on the championship game and beyond.
Even the battalion's operations center is adorned with a reminder: The Saints' NFC South champions logo is displayed on a video monitor beside another screen on which training slides are shown.
"That's all everyone's talking about," Sellen said.

Dodge Caravan
Looking for a good, honest, reliable auto mechanic in Berkeley for our Dodge Caravan. Have used Carlson Garage for years, but they have become very expensive and not so reliable. Would like to find someone who knows what they're doing, won't do unnecessary work, and won't break the bank! The listings on BPN that I saw are quite old. Does anyone have experience with Bauer's Auto Repair on University? Appreciate your help! Car Repair Blues
My husband and I are in the market for a (used) minivan. He has been researching them and come up with the Dodge ''Caravan'' as being a good choice for us as far as safety, size and cost. He is not home to ask, but I recall that he said that post-96s had a better engine and/or transmission. I'd like to hear what other peoples experiences have been with the ''Caravan,'' and its sister vehicles, the Plymouth ''Voyager'', and the Chevy ''Town & Country''. What is the good, the bad and the ugly on these minivans? Thanks in advance for any helpful information. marianne
The Caravan, Voyager and Town and Country are all on the list of affected vehicles. More information about the buckles can be found at www.unsafebelts.com , and the list of affected vehicles is at http://www.unsafebelts.com/known.cfm .
You may also, if you have or are planning on having children who are in child safety restraints, want to use the car seat compatability database available at www.carseatdata.org as you select a new vehicle. Sue Pavlik, Child Passenger Safety Technician
We are in the market for a Dodge Caravan for our expanding family and would love to get some advice about where to buy it and get it serviced. There doesn't seem to be a dealer close to Berkeley (but we're new to the area and could be wrong.) I've checked the website archives and the info is from 1997, so we were hoping someone might have had a more recent experience. Thank you in advance! Maryanne
We were also disappointed in the quality of the work done by Dodge dealers
during the warrantee period. I dropped it off with a problem, went to pick
it up as scheduled, and was told they didn't see any problem. I walked over
to it, started it up, said, "See!", and they said "Oh, yeah." My husband
now takes it to a Dodge dealer in Marin who does better maintenance work.
Beverly (7/99)
On a side note about the transmission, we took it to Aamco instead of the Dodge dealer, and lived to regret it. They rebuilt it instead of replacing it, and couldn't seem to get it right.
The main difference between the caravan and the grand caravan is that the grand is about 8" longer, which gives you more cargo room, and enough space to haul 4'x8' sheets of plywood with the seats removed. Our second and third ones have been grands. When the kids were young, we had two bench seats, but with the last two, we've gotten the "quad command seating" which gives you four bucket seats and a rear three passenger bench.

At-Home Fitness Machines
Just think of the infomercial that features stars like actress Carmen Electra and LA Lakers own Shaquille O'Neal. This exercise video blends a cardio-vascular workout, with a considerable amount of self-defense techniques and is a mixture Tae Kwon-Do and kickboxing.
what price is rightWith a variety of options to choose from, a key selling point is price. Everybody wants to keep training, but at what price? Although it seems like the perfect solution for busy people after a long day at work, it does not come cheap.
Buying a home fitness centre can cost about 2 or 3 times the price of a yearly membership at a local gym. The main reason behind it is that marketers can put a price tag on the system's practical value and time saving benefits in the minds of consumers.
Also, the promotion of such products is very costly. Infomercials have a total cost, including production, of over $100,000. This requires considerable investments from the creators, and in return, they expect huge profit margins for every sale.
A kind of niche market has grown from this direct response approach as consumers expect to see home gyms and exercise videos featured on infomercials. Extensions from this product line are workout gadgets and tidbits, like the Ab Roller and the NordicTrack . Seriously, how tacky and useless can it get?
Although you're right in thinking that this market is now saturated, new products, like the new "Latin Rhythm Workout" video by fitness guru Kathy Smith, will constantly be created. This video offers an aerobic workout approach through Latin music, which is very appealing to women, the initial primary target.
If you actually buy into the idea and decide to purchase one of these products, take time to shop around and find the one that suits your physical needs but most importantly, your budget.

An ADT Monitored Home Security System will give you the reassurance of knowing your Milltown home is protected by an advanced level of security technology that the majority of competitors don't provide. And when faced with the many security signs being proudly displayed, most criminals will bypass homes that are protected by ADT.
It ought to be no surprise that the current economic crisis has caused the rate of robberies and break-ins to rise dramatically in Milltown, MT. Burglars know that most home owners will buy the best furniture, appliances, and gadgets for their home, but will often scrimp on the protection of those items. The good news is, ADT Monitored Home Security Systems are an affordable, yet highly effective solution in Milltown to protecting your home from the rising crime wave.
Because of the huge array of features that are included with an ADT Monitored Home Security System in Milltown, many homeowners mistakenly assume that such protection will cost too much. ADT has been in the business of protecting homes for over 135 years, so they have perfected the ability to offer an advanced level of protection services at a cost that isn't going to be out of your range.
The protection you receive from ADT against dangers that are visual, such as criminals and fire, is top-notch. But how are you protected against dangers that are colorless, odorless, and tasteless? Carbon monoxide poisoning is one such danger, and it claims hundreds of lives and sends thousands to the hospital on a yearly basis. In the U.S. alone, carbon monoxide poisoning is the number one cause of accidental poisoning deaths. Advanced ADT monitored home security systems in Milltown are capable of sensing this "silent killer".
Get an ADT monitored security system in Milltown MT and help protect your family today.
