Like [artist id="1244169″]Diddy[/artist], [artist id="961097″]Ludacris[/artist] and [artist id="1624630″]Jesse McCartney[/artist] before her, on Thursday night, [artist id="2389485″]Taylor Swift[/artist] joined the illustrious ranks of musicians who have made cameo appearances on popular crime dramas.
Swift got to live her dream of playing the dead girl on "CSI." Told mostly in flashbacks to a year before Swift's character, Haley, was found murdered outside the motel her parents run, the episode took on the twists and turns expected from the CBS detective show.
Swift, a longtime "CSI" fan , was in the majority of the episode, but she spent most of her screen time either standing around or sharing a few quick lines here and there with Detective Nick Stokes, played by George Eads. The two struck up a friendship a year before her death, when he came to the motel to investigate the death of two people at the hotel. The story quickly became more about Haley and her family.
Swift was lucky enough to have her hair color do a lot of the acting for her. She wasn't bad, but unlike Diddy, Ludacris and McCartney, who have had more acting experience than Swift, she is definitely still learning. Her dialogue, for the most part, was kept short and sweet. Her character, on the other hand, wasn't sweet at all. She was a slightly rebellious teenager, who we learn was adopted by a woman who was still struggling with the loss of her daughter before Haley was born. (SPOILER! In the end, we learn that Haley's mom accidentally killed Haley with scissors in a heated argument.)
Judging by the enthusiasm she brought to the role, this probably won't be the last time Swift fans get a chance to see her act. Next up for the budding actress will be a cameo alongside BFF Miley Cyrus in "Hannah Montana: The Movie."

About UsThe USC Sleep Disorders Program offers comprehensive sleep disorder evaluations. Individuals with sleep irregularities manifested by symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring, witnessed apneas, morning headaches, insomnia, and abnormal nocturnal movements or behaviors would benefit from a comprehensive sleep evaluation. The sleep disorders evaluation begins with a thorough history and physical examination and, if indicated, preparations are made for a formal sleep study. The program offers attended standard sleep studies, CPAP titration sleep studies, and multiple sleep latency studies, all performed with state-of-the-art equipment.
FAQ on Obstructive Sleep Apnea
What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?
OSA is a common sleep condition in which intermittent airway blockage interferes with normal breathing. Plain snoring is a similar process but not severe enough to cause significant airway obstruction. People who suffer from OSA usually snore but not everyone who snores has sleep apnea.
How common is sleep apnea?
According to National Institutes of Health, 12 million Americans- close to 5% of the population- suffer from sleep apnea. Among middle aged men, this condition may be affecting more than 1 in every 10 individuals. Obstructive sleep apnea is indeed very common.
I snore. Do I have sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by airway obstruction during sleep. Snoring may be a sign of sleep-disordered breathing. However, not everybody who snores has sleep apnea. The only certain way to know for sure is by performing a sleep study.
What is a sleep study?
A sleep study- also called polysomnography- is a comprehensive sleep monitoring test performed at a specialized sleep laboratory. It is noninvasive- no pain or significant discomfort involved. You spend the night in bed the same way you do at home. A number of electrodes will be attached to your skin to monitor sleep stages, brain activity, breathing and other parameters. During the study, sleep quality is measured as well as various factors interfering with it.
What are other common symptoms of sleep apnea besides snoring?
A common and often quite debilitating sign of sleep apnea is day-time sleepiness. People suffering from sleep apnea also complain of fatigue, lack of energy and morning headaches. Sleep apnea causes sleep fragmentation, which leads to poor quality sleep and the above mentioned symptoms. It is important to know, however, that due to great individual variability, even people with severe sleep apnea may not have any symptoms.
My bed partner tells me I stop breathing intermittently for several seconds in my sleep. Is that sleep apnea?
Yes. This is a typical presentation of sleep apnea.
I suspect I have sleep apnea. However, I feel perfectly fine. I am not sleepy or have any other symptoms. Should I have myself tested?
Unfortunately, sleep apnea can have a negative impact on your health in more ways than one. Sleep apnea is a known risk factor for developing cardiovascular and metabolic conditions like high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, etc. Even if asymptomatic, it may have unpredictable long-term consequences not unlike the way diet, life style and high cholesterol do.
I have heard that sleep apnea only affects obese people. Is that true?
No. Sleep apnea is much more common in overweight individuals but anybody can develop sleep disordered breathing.
What is the treatment for sleep apnea?
There are different options but the most effective and most commonly used treatment is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP is a small device connected to a mask that is placed on the person's face at night. It provides constant flow that prevents the upper airway from collapsing. CPAP should not be confused with oxygen. Oxygen is generally not necessary for sleep apnea. Besides CPAP, there are other treatment options including surgery in selected cases. Weight loss is desirable and generally very helpful in the management of sleep apnea.
I want to get tested. What do I do?
For Los Angeles area, call USC Internal Medicine- (323) 442-5100 and ask for an appointment to see a sleep specialist. You will need to be seen and examined. If necessary a sleep study will be scheduled during your visit. You can always discuss your concerns with your primary care doctor as well and ask for advice.

Following in the footsteps of the New York Times bestselling graphic novels and the record-breaking new television show, this debut novel in a trilogy of original Walking Dead books chronicles the back story of the comic book series greatest villain, The Governor
In The Walking Dead universe, there is no greater villain than The Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense of justice: whether it's forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople's amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted "Villain of the Year" by Wizard Magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial arc in the history of The Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how The Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.

Rolling on the River
Floating on Styrofoam in the Cuyahoga makes a self-described "river rat" feel at home.
Owner : Brian Pierce
City : Cleveland
Built : 1998
Purchased by Current Owner : 2002
Extremity Factor : 9
So when this floating house just beneath the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge came on the market last year, Pierce, who works for an audiovisual company in Lakewood, decided to have a look.
Built of a steel frame surrounded by wood, the 950-square-foot house floats on a thick layer of Styrofoam. Inside, exposed steel-and-wood beams running the width of the house resemble the many nearby bridges. Pierce admired the sturdy dwelling (it weighs 18,000 pounds and can support a total of 25,000 pounds) and the one-of-a-kind view of downtown Cleveland through its windows. He made an offer.
The surrounding property is maintenance-free, although spring cleaning includes having an 800-gallon sewage tank pumped out by a professional. In inclement weather, wending your way down the dock becomes a daunting task. "There are challenges to living on the water," admits Pierce, "but I pretty much knew what I was getting into."
In summertime, Pierce is surrounded by neighbors, as boats dock up and down the Cuyahoga. The Holiday, a charter boat docked beside Pierce's house, carries patrons on dinner cruises. Freighters chug less than 30 feet away, creating a gentle wake that causes the house to sway.
Winter silences the area, but Pierce can rely on daily talks with his neighbor, who lives year-round on a boat. Waterfowl flock to the relatively warm water here, and a beaver makes his home on a nearby bank. Inside, propane heating keeps Pierce warm.
With the onset of spring, the Cuyahoga starts buzzing again and Pierce is preparing to make some home improvements. "I want to put in new hardwood floors and new carpeting," he says, adding that he also plans to display some of his extensive art collection. "And I want to enclose the deck upstairs."
He's looking forward to entertaining friends. "Everyone thinks I'm crazy for living here," he says, "until summer comes."

The Western States Center's Uniting Communities project focuses on proactively bringing together the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) community and communities of color to address racial justice and LGBTQ equality. In early 2008 Oregon seemed likely to face two anti-gay ballot measures in the November election. Throughout the year, the Uniting Communities project worked with four organizations based in communities of color, immigrant and refugee communities to provide training and technical assistance to address LGBTQ issues. They also brought these groups together to network, strategize and learn from each other's experiences.
Building off of the work in Oregon, Western States Center compiled a Toolkit with exercises to examine the obvious, and not so obvious, barriers that organizations need to clear to become inclusive of LGBTQ members. The Toolkit also contains 10 case studies that highlight the successes groups across the country have had in breaking new paths towards inclusiveness and culturally specific engagement.

Nov. 19, 1999
BERKELEY, Calif. -- Washington State University ended its Pacific-10 volleyball season with a 2-3 loss to California Friday night at the new Haas Pavilion. It was the seventh time in the past eight meetings in Berkeley the match has gone to five games, but the first loss for the Cougars. The game scores saw the Bears win 15-9, 10-15, 15-3, 13-15, 15-12.
The Cougars are now 13-13 overall and 7-11 in conference action while California is now 11-15 overall, 6-11 in Pac-10 matches. With a win over Washington Saturday night, Cal can claim a tie with WSU for sixth place in the final conference standings.
Cougars tallied match-high stats of 22 kills for freshman LaToya Harris and 23 digs from senior Joy Sperry. Kristen Johnson tied her career-high of 10 blocks. Senior Alicia Perry led the Bears with 21 kills and four additional Bears hit in double-figures while four players had double-doubles.
WSU had a disasterous 15 service errors.
The Golden Bears took a 5-0 lead in the first game but WSU went on an 8-1 run. But the game of streaks saw Cal come back with a 9-1 run of their own and take the opener 15-9. Cal junior Laurel Kokaska contributed three kills and a block down the stretch while junior Alicia Perry had five kills in the first game.
The Cougs and Bears battled it out in the second game with WSU up 9-5, before letting Cal come to within striking distance at 11-9. A LaToya Harris tip, Adrian Hankoff service ace and backcourt push by Melissa Wright closed out the Cougar win, 15-10.
Game three was all Cal as the Golden Bears hit .250 to WSU's -.054.
Up 11-6 in the crucial fourth game, WSU committed errors that allowed Cal to score four consecutive points. Joy Sperry took matters into her own hands and put WSU ahead 14-10. But Cal would not go away peacefully and stopped the Cougs at game point twice as the Bears tallied three points of their own. A kill from LaToya Harris gave WSU its third shot at the game and Kristen Johnson came through with a monster kill for the 15-13 win.
In the rally-scoring fifth game, where every play is a point, the Bears out-lasted the youthful Cougs 15-12.
"Tonight we didn't get the performance out of our left-side hitters and that killed us because we count on them and we couldn't find anyone on the left side to put the ball away," Cougar coach Cindy Fredrick said.
Washington State completes the regular season at the Pacific Bankers' Classic Tournament Nov. 26-27, at Stockton, California, meeting Notre Dame in the first round.
California (11-15, 6-11 Pac-10) d. Washington State (13-13, 7-11 Pac-10) 3-2
Game scores: 15-9, 10-15, 15-3, 13-15, 15-12
STATISTICS: KILLS: L. Harris (WSU) 22, Sperry (WSU) 21), Perry (Cal) 21. ASSISTS: Wright (WSU) 57, Noonan (Cal) 34, Perry (Cal) 31. DIGS: Sperry (WSU) 23, Coulter (Cal) 21. BLOCKS: Johnson (WSU) 10, Alva (Cal) 9. SERVICE ACES: Jamtaas (WSU) 3, Coulter (Cal) 3. Attendance: 325.

The two sluggishly negligent scenes on tap are a giant step backwards for indigenous Asian smut's recent upgrades with the alternately grainy/pixilated transfer and corpse-caliber female performances downright infuriating.

Kirsten Powers was absolutely magnificent discussing gun control on Fox News Sunday today - and a picture perfect example for spineless Democrats - one of whom, former Senator Evan Bayh, was sitting at the table with her. First, she forcefully argued that assault weapons make mass casualties more likely, then she noted that police departments agree with her and when host Chris Wallace tried to argue that Democrats are not doing much on behalf of gun control, she shot back that the NRA and similar organizations "own the Republicans and the Democrats cower in fear." Even worse for gun-rights advocate Liz Cheney, her fellow conservative, Bill Kristol agreed with Powers.
I'll try to get the video of the entire discussion showing Bayh's timid response that went before Powers had a chance to speak. But the bemused expression on his face and lack of comment on Powers' remarks speaks to exactly the kind of cowardice she referenced.
As I wrote not long ago in another example of Powers speaking truth to power (no pun intended): I've had my criticisms of Powers... But I've got to say this about her: she's got the courage of her convictions and the guts to stand up for them. There are a lot of other Fox News Democrats who could stand to learn from her.
Let's hope some of them were watching today.
A guy walks into the theater, wearing what looks like a batman outfit. Many people thought that he was somehow part of the show. But he immediately fires off tear gas canisters. There was no time for anyone to react at that point. And now there's tear gas so it's almost impossible to see the guy. Who would those wannabe macho males have shot? How many more innocent lives would have been lost?
I realize I shouldn't judge by appearances but there was no doubt in my mind that they would have been the first to crap their pants, try to hide, and instinctively call for Mommie.
And another kudos to Kirsten. She's 100% correct. The NRA owns the neocons and the democrats are too chicken to even discuss gun control because the NRA will "give them a bad rating".
Fuck the NRA. I dropped my membership a long time ago because I didn't like the direction that the extremists were heading toward. Anyone who believes that the NRA is about defending life is a dumbass.
Not even touching that Murdoch disagrees, this is more time than the other networks have put into planned discussions- note that I said planned, I'm well aware that some hosts had guests try to bring it up.
And unlike their narratives of whether or not it's appropriate, or weighing the arguments of both sides, FNC's stance is "Our side or else!".
I think their braver Dems and moderates are starting to get sick enough of it to say so.
The NRA is about making money. That's all they care about. It's painfully obvious if you have the slightest wherewithal to pay attention for more then two seconds. I like guns. I have an M4, a P90, a shotgun, and two handguns. I would love to see stricter gun laws. If they help to prevent tragedies like what happened in Colorado over the weekend then I will happily jump through more hoops if I have to. It would be worth it.
Like the complete tool that you consistently demonstrate yourself to be you brought up Planned Parenthood when it had nothing to do with this. Any republican that says they are pro-life is a liar. They are only pro-life as long as you are still in the womb. Once you are born they could care less about you. Otherwise why would they be so willing to gleefully let people die just because they don't have health insurance. If one is truly pro-life then their concern for somebody's life doesn't end once they are born into this world.

A video surfaced of Miley Cyrus at G.A.Y. nightclub in London, where she went on a rant in the middle of performing. According to E! News, Miley has some choice words in the video, taken by a fan, that seemed to be directed at someone:
"... and every time you get in your car, you're going to hear my f--king song on the f--king radio, you piece of s--t. That's right. And then I'm gonna take all my clothes off, I'm gonna sit on a big, giant d--k—sometimes two—I'm gonna swing around, and then I'm gonna hold the record for the most-watched music video on Vevo. So then—you know, you can tell a lot about a person—I think you can tell how big their d--k is by how much confidence they have usually, and if I was a dude I'd probably have a really big d--k, 'cause I feel really good about myself now. So I'm gonna tell those motherf--kers that broke my heart, particularly one, to suck my fat d--k and to enjoy hearing this song for the rest of your life. This song is called Wrecking Ball."
Of course, the internet did what it does best, and began speculating that Cyrus was talking about her ex-fiance, Liam Hemsworth. The couple officially announced their split in September of 2013. At the same time as the official announcement that the couple would not make it to the altar, Cyrus released her Wrecking Ball video, which quickly broke records and rocketed to number one. It was therefore easy to assume that Miley's rant was about Liam. Alas, Miley never ceases to shock, because it seems it was just all a part of "the movement." Miley took to Twitter to clean up the rumor mill:
"Just FYI what I said the other night at G.A.Y had nothing to do with Liam. I was just tryin to rile up the boys. I don't usually respond to tabloidy stuff but this isn't something I want being spread around. It sounded hateful but not what I meant. I never want hateful things being said about those I care about... I was just tooooo turnttttt up."
Miley even says in the dedication of her Bangerz album, which 'Wrecking Ball' appears on, "Liam, I love you." There were rumors that 'Wrecking Ball' had originally been written for Beyonce, but those were put to rest earlier this year by Cyrus' reps. Wrecking Ball is actually one of few songs that Cyrus wasn't involved in writing, so it would be far-fetched for the song to have that much of a personal attachment. We're glad that Miley wasn't trashing her ex. It seems she still cares about him a great deal.

Chris Martens, Ph.D.cmar...@cs.cmu.edu
CV as of April 2016
I got my Ph.D. with the Principles of Programming group in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Karl Crary and Frank Pfenning. I graduated in September 2015 with my thesis Programming Interactive Worlds with Linear Logic. As of December 2015, I'm doing a postdoc with the Expressive Intelligence Studio at UC Santa Cruz.
I investigate how to use mathematical tools, such as proof theory, to better understand and create interactive rule systems. I place an emphasis on games and computational creativity, but I am broadly interested in modeling computational and scientific systems by way of logical rules. My prior experience spans logical frameworks, dependent types, algebraic/categorical methods, functional programming, logic programming, generative methods, interactive fiction authoring, experimental game design, AI for social simulation, and emergent storytelling.
My thesis project is a programming language for the design of interactive narratives and game mechanics. The language is based on forward-chaining linear logic programming, a way of declaratively describing state change. This methodology makes it feasible to encode generative rules that create procedural content for interactive simulations that give rise to emergent narratives.
The language semantics' basis in proof theory enables a structural understanding of these narratives, making it possible to analyze them for concurrent behavior among multiple agents. On a larger timescale, I imagine growing the technology underlying this language into a high-level sketching tool for game designers, usable for rapid prototyping and iteration.

All eyes look skyward to see what winter brings
Published: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at 2:12 p.m.
As America celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," fans may remember one of the Fab Four's hits, "Here Comes the Sun." Davidson County residents will need to change the words to "Here Comes the Snow" if forecasts hold true. Those forecasts have often proved inaccurate, even earlier this winter with one storm that brought only a cold rain, but meteorologists seem pretty positive a substantial snow event could happen this time.
Snowbirds are reacting with glee to the possibility of anywhere from 4 to 12 inches falling. They will eagerly look to the skies Wednesday and jump for joy when the flakes begin to fall. Excited youngsters (and some adults) will bring out the sleds and head for hilly locations. Students will look forward to another extended vacation; a relatively minor snowfall and plunging temperatures caused county students to miss three days two weeks ago while city students missed two days.
However, those missed days come with a price. The Davidson County and Lexington City school systems only have one snow day left, and that means an extra day at the end of the year, June 11. Could — dare we say it — Saturday school be in the future? The last time school was in session on a Saturday, in 2011, attendance was dreadful. Administrators probably hope they will at least be able to start classes Wednesday, which would count it as a school day, meaning only two days might be missed this week (Lexington decided to cancel Wednesday classes mid-afternoon Tuesday).
Weather cancellations also pose a dilemma for administrators. Not only must they be concerned about buses on the roads but also high school drivers and parents picking up and delivering students. They almost always err on the side of caution, but sometimes the decision may be overly cautious. County students probably could have attended Jan. 31 on a two-hour delay; the city systems started with a delay that day. And the system should continue to explore ways to modify bus routes for bad weather, like Lexington City Schools has done.
Meanwhile, another group also looks skyward with a much different reaction. These folks are the lovers of summer who are already counting down the days until warmer weather arrives. Another group dreading any slick roads are those with jobs that require their attendance even in bad weather. No one wants to lose power, either, another risk from a major storm.
If you do have to venture out in the next couple of days, use extreme caution. By the time you're reading this, it may be too late for a last-minute grocery run. So we hope your pantry is stocked and alternate heating sources are available. And to return one last time to John, Paul, George and Ringo, just keep this in mind: "Let It Be." None of us can change the weather.

The new season of NY Med started and one of the new patients came in with third degree burns on her legs after spending hours on a surf board on her vacation. She told the nurse and doctor that she didn't believe in sunscreen. I didn't know if was something you had to believe in, but thought more it was just safe practice when in the sun.
Save Your Skin: Tips to Remember This Summer
As summer creeps closer and closer, you will be spending more time outdoors, and after a rough winter, you've earned it! Just be sure to lather on the sunscreen, dermatologists say there's no such thing as 'safe' tanning.
The rule for sunscreen is simple, use it. It's not just for days on the beach during your vacation; sun damage happens any time that your skin is exposed to the sun. Make sure that you not only use enough sunscreen, but that you apply it anywhere that the sun will touch your skin.
Using Incorrect Amount of Sunscreen Can Harm You
Using at least a tablespoon amount of sunblock is recommended – enough to cover up and soak into your skin. If you use less and try to spread it too thin, you can cut the SPF value in half.
Experts also recommend that you reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors. However, if you are swimming, wiping it off or sweating it should be applied more often in order for your skin to be completely protected.
When you are choosing which sunscreen to buy at the store, check the labels. Make sure that it protects against UVA and UVB rays, which cause the skin to age and burn. The minimum SPF that should be used is 30.
No Such Thing as Safe Tanning
Bad news for tanners, dermatologists say there is no safe tanning, even if you use a sunscreen with a high SPF value. The brown color in your skin is actually melanin shielding injured DNA in your skin cells.
If you need your daily dose of Vitamin D, lay out in the early morning or late afternoon when sun rays aren't as damaging. When you are outside wear protective clothing, hats and be sure to stay hydrated.
Dangers of Sun Damage to the Skin
Spending too much time in the Sun without sunscreen raises your risk of developing melanoma skin cancer. Exposure to ultraviolet rays is the main cause of damaging effects on the sun. These rays damage the DNA of skin cells, and skin cancer begins when this damage affects the DNA of genes that control skin cell growth. It is recommended that everyone visit a dermatologist at least once a year for a skin cancer screening, and if you have had melanoma in the past the visits should be every six months.
Summer activities also add stress to your skin with chlorine, salt, wind, sand and insect repellant. All of these dry out your skin, so also invest time in a

A remembrance of the blast the day after Easter, that took the life of 29 men, that shook the world, and broke all our hearts. To remember them and a touch of their life so they will never be forgotten. Also a picture of each one.
Though this is my first book, it 's something close to my heart. I wanted to make something so that others would not forget the disaster that happened on April 5, 2010, the day after Easter, when 29 innocent lives was taken and a large community of family and friends lives are changed forever. I mostly want this for the children so they can remember their fathers, grandfathers, brothers, cousins and friends and how much they were and are loved. They went to work daily knowing they were in danger but they had families to support and communities to keep going.

Give Thanks Playdate (46 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
"A colorful and friendly Thanksgiving get together design especially for kids packed with hands on activities and crafts."
Amanda from Amanda's Parties to Go designed a super fun FREE Thanksgiving printable packed with colorful, vibrant designs that also includes kid friendly activities that will keep the kids busy and entertained for hours.
The printable includes lots of goodies to help you decorate the kid's table not just for thanksgiving but for any fall festivities.
For our Give Thanks play date, I set up the kids table outdoors since the weather here in Phoenix is very mild during Fall. I purchased a few pumpkins to use as center pieces and embellished them using silk flowers, ribbons and painted polkadots. Using the coordinated paper and turkey icons from the set, I made cute crayon holders using TP roll that was placed beside each place setting along with an activity sheet from the printable set. I also used the coordinated paper as placemats, the larger turkey icons from the set were used to decorated the back of their chairs.
The dessert table was as colorful and fun as the kids table. Using fabric that coordinated with the printable, I created the backdrop by covering a piece of foam board and added the Happy Thanksgiving banner. An orange polkadot fabric was used as a tablecloth. The kids enjoyed some yummy cake pops, sugar cookies, trail mix, cupcakes and turkey sandwiches.
At the craft station, kids made turkey hats using the coordinated paper from the printable, painted wooden indian masks, made cute turkey decorations and colored the turkey printable also from the set.
Favors were displayed on an old kid's fence decorated with color coordinated paper bunting.
The kids had so much fun. If you have good weather in late fall, staging this party outdoors might be a fun way to do a kids' table at your Thanksgiving dinner.

'Cool' Laser Ablation Helps PAD and Heart Patients
Printer-friendly format
By: ANN B. DEBELLIS
The excimer laser uses ultraviolet light to dissolve and remove plaque and other matter from blood vessels and arteries, eliminating the risk of additional clots from pieces floating downstream in the vessels
Converging Causes Create A Perfect Storm
Teating coronary artery blockages and peripheral artery disease (PAD) is becoming easier thanks to a new technology known as excimer or "cool" laser ablation. This minimally invasive laser ablation system, which is also currently being used for lasik eye surgery, restores blood flow to the legs and feet of PAD patients and can help prevent amputation in a number of cases. For patients having a heart attack, it also offers a better way of removing clots in coronary arteries.
"This procedure is used most for patients with chronic limb ischemia who have blockage below the knee that causes black toe or a non-healing wound," says Robert E. Foster, M.D., FACC, an interventional cardiologist with Birmingham Heart Clinic, P.C. "We've never had anything good to use for treating blockage below the knee. With this system, we run the laser down one of the three arteries in the foot to open them up. This salvages the limb. We've had great results, and wounds that haven't healed for months will heal in three to four weeks."
Patients who have complete blockages of the femoral artery are also benefiting from cool laser ablation. In the past, these patients required femoral artery bypass surgery. "The problem with bypass surgery is that the grafts don't stay open, so they will probably need the surgery more than once," Foster says. "The patients are already high-risk surgical patients and their risk for a stroke or heart attack increases while recovering from the bypass procedure. Treatment with cool laser ablation is a much lower risk for them."
Foster points out that the cool laser is also effective for clearing clots in coronary arteries in heart attack patients. "If the patient has a large clot, the laser is a good tool to use because it vaporizes the clot, which prevents any broken pieces of plaque from traveling downstream and clogging other vessels," he says. "We clear the clot with the laser and then put in stents if necessary." Foster says drug-eluting stents can re-narrow in about 3 percent of patients. "In the past, we had no good way to clean out the stents when this happened. This laser allows us to remove the scar tissue that forms in the stent."
What makes the excimer laser so effective is its ability to destroy the damaging arterial plaque. The laser produces pulsed bursts of ultraviolet light energy that are capable of ablating or vaporizing plaque and calcium into tiny particles that are easily absorbed into the blood stream. This energy is transmitted along flexible glass fibers encased in catheters which are passed through arteries and veins. The ultraviolet light energy is then focused on the blockages that need to be treated.
Prior to the laser technology, balloon angioplasty was required to push aside blockage from a vessel. The balloon often tore the vessel and injured the artery, which stimulates the artery to re-narrow, Foster says. "With the laser we can clean out the artery without the deep tissue injury. Often we can get by without using a stent when the blockage is below the hips. The femoral artery has a high healing rate so there is no stent for use there that has a re-narrowing rate less than 40 percent."
Because the laser therapy significantly reduces the chance of injuring an affected vessel, the procedure can be used more than once if necessary in most patients. "After we open an artery in a PAD patient, we have a maintenance program where we measure blood pressure in the ankles at one month, three months, six months and one year following the ablation," Foster says. "If we see the pressure is falling, we can go back in and clean the artery again which maintains patency and prevents sudden complete closure due to clot formation."
Foster and his colleagues have performed hundreds of procedures with this new laser technology. As a result, the Spectranetics Corporation – manufacturer of the only excimer laser approved for use in the United States, Europe and Japan in multiple, minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures – recently designated Birmingham Heart Clinic as a Center of Excellence in Excimer Laser Ablation Therapy. In addition, Foster and three other Birmingham Heart Clinic cardiologists – Michael Simpson, M.D., Brian Snoddy, M.D., and James Trimm, M.D. – were recognized as national leaders and a Center of Excellence for Coronary and Peripheral Laser Ablation Therapy.
"Spectranetics selects a group that has embraced the technology, uses it appropriately, and has become a training site. We have trained physicians from all over the country to use the laser," Foster says. "In the field of cardiology, technology is growing so fast. You learn about new devices by reading information and when you're ready to purchase the tool, you go somewhere to learn to use it. Our group practices in an area with high volume and we have developed enough experience and skills to become trainers for this laser technology."
Beginning in February, Birmingham Heart Clinic physicians will conduct official workshops for cardiologists from all over the nation. Training will include lectures on the physics of the laser and actual case studies.
For cleaning blood vessels, Foster thinks laser technology is here to stay. "When you look at the treatments for what we have for complex peripheral disease, there's nothing better than laser ablation out there right now," he says. "If drug-eluting stents are developed for use in the legs, that would better than what he have today, but we would still be putting a foreign body into the patient. If we can avoid using foreign bodies such as stents, that would be even better. We're looking for that magic bullet that will cause plaque regression, but until we have that, we are stuck with fixing clogged arteries and right now this laser technology is the best tool we have."

Please? I'm at a loss
I have a win TV Nova TD Stick on which I have previously used the wintv extend capability, via my home network, to iphones and an ipad. I recently had to reinstall my operating system and can't seem to get wintv working on my home network, unless i turn off windows 7 firewall entirely. I take it, therefore, that my issue is in relation to windows 7 firewall configuration - anyone have an idea on what settings I need to change? I have enabled WINTV7 program access through my firewall and ensured that WINTV v7 and Win TV v7.2 Extend Streaming Service are enabled in my inbound rules - all to no avail.
Any advice would be much appreciated

Luckily for me, the AMC show The Killing infuriated fans by ending its first season without resolving its central murder mystery. (The network said it regretted that it didn't better manage viewer expectations.) Critics and viewers are looking for the second season — which starts on April 1 — to make up for the disappointment. Entertainment Weekly even devoted four pages to the show and the controversy in its March 30, 2012, issue. And … it looks like the magazine used a photo from a shoot done for the Dec. 16, 2011, issue, in which The Killing star Mireille Enos wore my Cleves swan ring.
Here's the December photo with the Cleves ring …
… and here's the March issue.
Here's a close-up of the Cleves ring in 18K gold and diamonds. It's available at Broken English Jewelry in Santa Monica, Calif.
I've also got it in silver. You can order it from Max & Chloe.
If you're not a ring person, I've got a Cleves necklace in 18K gold, diamond and onyx …
… and winged Cleves earrings in 18K gold, diamonds and onyx.
The only thing I don't have? The answer to who murdered Rosie Larsen on The Killing!

I have to comment and say how cool this is.
And even cooler? My anti-spam word is: Spartacus
Wow that show pissed me off big time! Misery porn and stupid red herrings spoiled what should have been an awesome series. I bet I still watch series 2. Love the Cleeves ring.
that's great! a double dose. it's really visible in that march shot. congrats!
Every Cleves piece is so beautiful!!
I loved being angry at The Killing all the time, so I'll watch again. Your ring is too gorgeous!
Not familiar with the show but familiar with your Cleves Ring, my favorite is the 18k gold ring.
BTW hope your little boy Henry is okay… these little four legged fur balls are our children afterall.
i NEED that ring
I've heard so much online chatter, I've got to check out this show.
Your rings are amazing. Although the rebel in me wants that skull pendant 😀
Awesome ring! I love when your items show up in press.

BMW i8S and hotter i8 duo tipped to turn up EV power
BMW's i8 hybrid sportscar is tipped to be in line for a power boost, with the Germany company said to have earmarked the eco-friendly coupe for an upgrade to both parts of its powertrain. Distinctively designed both inside and out, the current BMW i8 musters 357 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque from its combination of a three-cylinder gas engine and an electric motor. However, according to industry whispers, both of those are going to be replaced with more powerful versions - among other changes - in a hotter, more focused version, and it may only be the start of BMW's scheming.

FullFridge (from the French Alps) packs new heat from Montreal's HGLDT on their eighth digital release, called "Reflections on the Void".
I last heard from HGLDT a year ago with his flip of Blind Prophet's "Got Me Thinking" (L2S070). His robust drum production caught my ear, but overall the tune failed to stick with me as time passed. Color me surpised with his new material: both tracks, "FightFlight" and "Lights", far exceed his past productions with a greater emphasis on rhythm and sound design.
"FightFlight" unleashes a nest of sampled percussion and driving techno rhythm atop a throbbing sub that takes Blawan's sonics and Regis' disdain for humanity and wrings both dry in a fallout shelter. No melodies here - just pure, industrialized groove. HGLDT keeps things stripped with "Lights", a similarly rough and tumble tech-house tune that lends itself to an even darker setting than "FightFlight". A sheet of white noise and metallic clangs introduce dub-techno chords and panning vocal stabs, submerging the environment in a bleakness not unlike Shackleton's most recent excursions. HGLDT doesn't demonstrate as strong a purpose as Sir Shack, however; the tune loses its initial momentum to a neverending stream of brittle chord splashes - invoking Basic Channel without their warmth - and a lingering rhythm that adds more ambience, rather than groove.
This one's a cold, cold journey, and an undeniable observation of what "the void" might sound like. Grab your scarf and take the trip yourself on November 13th FOR FREE here. A secret special remix from some local Percussion Lab brethern follows on November 20th.

text: I have really noticed that when checking the price of any rare tool or item, the price it sell for is absolutely terrible. A few examples: Dark Lance, an item that only generates once per world, in underworld chests sells for 54 silver. Rocket Boots, an item that should take about 4 goblin invasions to acquire, sells for 1 gold. Magic Mirror, a fairly common yet still invaluable item sells for the same price: 1 gold. So what are these 3 prices alone implying? Are they implying that the Dark Lance is more common than the Magic Mirror? Are they implying that the Rocket Boots are equally as rare as the Magic Mirror? It gets worse: The Jungle Shirt is worth 60 silver as its sell price. However, the materials for it are worth 7 gold 92 silver and 80 copper. I shouldn't even have to include the fact that this recipe involves 6 diamonds, which are worth 60 silver each. The jungle shirt should be worth 10 gold when sold, so the materials aren't worth over 13 times as much as the product. The Molten Breastplate sells for the same price, 60 silver. However, the gold ore and hellstone bars would sell for an amazing 21 gold and 60 silver. That is 36 times as much. The funny thing about this is that most materials DO have a good price set that reflects the rarity. The products do not. 30 gold for the molten chestplate would be much better. The Star Cannon sells for the same price as the Minishark, even though you are tacking on an additional 2 gold 85 silver with the materials to upgrade it. 15 or 20 gold would be acceptable. I'm not doing the math for all the craftable items, I think that I have proved my point with these examples. But, if anyone wants to, the method I used to calculate involved choosing the most valuable form of the resource that it has to go through in the process of crafting the item. If anyone does do the math for more things, please post the results here!

Stephen Colbert, the current comedic occupant of "The Colbert Report," has officially been anointed by CBS as the Chosen One to sit upon the "Late Night" throne once Sir David Letterman relinquishes the reins of his reign next year.
While some have described the move as "replacing one liberal with another" libertarians are renewing their quest for an answer to the question, "Is Stephen Colbert a libertarian?" To find out, one could simply ask Colbert himself:
"We libertarians are finally having our moment in the sun. This is the year that many believe libertarians will quote 'hold some serious sway in American politics'… We will use that power to eliminate maximum occupancy rules in elevators and suggested age ranges on board games."
However, since Colbert is a practitioner of the satirical arts and might be "just kidding" a few more opinions might be helpful.
Yahoo Answers is supposed to have the answers. Responses to "Is Stephen Colbert a Libertarian?" range from "No" to "no hes prob liberal" to "He is a candy man. Dance monkey, dance for your pocket change" to "Glen Beck is not a Libertarian" (?)
So why not ask a liberal? A self-identified anti-conservative website posted a rant by "rackjite" that began "I have no love AT ALL for Looneytarians. They are so far to the Right they cross the right field foul line, flow past the stands and are standing in the rain out in the ballpark parking lot with their thumbs up their asses."
To prove how looney Looneytarians are rackjite posted a video of Colbert interviewing Reason's Nick Gillespie a year ago. Colbert played his doofus conservative character against Gillespie's pot legalization position, thereby actually supporting the libertarian position while proving that rackjite is ignorant about libertarianism and about the nature of satire.
But then libertarians will point out that this happened only because in this particular case the libertarian position happens to coincide with the liberal position, which should prove to people like rackjite that libertarians are not "so far to the Right."
Internet Movie Database (IMDb), the online go-to authority for all things entertainment, assures everyone that "Despite the Right wing-to-Libertarian-leaning views that the 'Stephen Colbert' character often espouses on the show, in his private life, the real Stephen Colbert considers himself a Democrat."
And there's the answer; in front of the camera Colbert is a contrived "character" playing to the masses but behind the scenes he's just another predictable partisan progressive, doing business exactly like the politicians he loves to lampoon.
So move along libertarians. Nothing to see here.
Stephen Colbert, satire, Democrat, liberal, libertarian

This may serve as a cause of amusement for you, it may serve as a stark warning as to the level of fraud still prevalent in eBay culture, or it may just provide a good laugh, ..either way i could not let this one go under the public radar.
Last week I listed my Sony HD camcorder on eBay hoping for something around the £900 mark. Now personally i would not buy such a high value item from eBay, but mine is a warranty clause not one of trust.
However in search of the bargains people do, and i have sold many high value items in this manner with great success.
So this auction passed without incident, no requests to ship to Romania, Nigeria or would i accept payment twice the value of the item by Western Union.
However when the auction ended at the excellent sum of £931.87 I was a little concerned that the winning bidder had 0 feedback score.
Although alarm bells ring i am always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove me wrong and initially i thought all was well as the buyer immediately contacted with the following message:
"Am having problem making payment for the item, so get to me as soon as possible regarding the payment for the item."
I responded accordingly, although a little confused as the buyers registered address was in the US and i had not given a postage amount yet, however i assumed this was the confusion and responded accordingly:
"…not sure what problem your having …or what you want to do about shipping so maybe best to give me a quick call on +44 7960 214407 anytime."
No answer was the response, ..not that evening or the following day. I started to worry a little, but more at the delay in payment as i really wanted to complete the transaction.
I knew however, that even though posting to the states was not going to be ideal, this buyer had won the auction far and square and i could do nothing about it.
Well, ..not quite nothing, …assuming it all went wrong i quickly sent a second chance offer to the bidder below just to test the water.
the bidder below replied quickly and informatively as one would expect of someone who wishes to purchase a high value product, and informed me that although he was bidding on another item, i should keep him informed as he would still be interested. We agreed to talk agin in a few days.
However around 4 hours later i was suddenly pleasantly surprised to see a PayPal payment notification pop through my inbox, ..you can see it yourself below
The amount was correct, and furthermore he had given me £200 for postage costs that i had by this time calculated and invoiced at £73.
Now look a little closer, ..well at this paragraph in particular:
"This payment is pending because it was sent in a currency in which you do not currently hold a balance. Get back to us with the Shipment Tracking details so that we can verify that the item has been shipped and transfer the funds deducted from the buyer's PayPal account to your account. If you have any question or you want to send the Shipment Tracking details to us at :email@example.com You can also send the Shipment Tracking details to the buyer if you want."
Does this look like the kind of paragraph that would be written by PayPal copywriting department, …me thinks not.
Oh wait, .and what is this, .look at the delivery address that has suddenly appeared:
Lanre Hassan
27 Medical Road,
Ikeja, Lagos
ALARM ALARM :) ….it appears although the display name of the email is email@example.com, the actual sending address is firstname.lastname@example.com !!
So i logged into my paypal accounts, ..both of them, ..surprise surprise, .no payments.
So i responded:
"oh dear, ..unfortunately i am a computer programmer and i know that the paypal receipt was not from paypal and you are having a laugh.
unless you phone me on number below i will not be continuing this transaction or conversation and will be reporting you to both paypal, ebay and the relevant legal authorities."
Suddenly this arrived in my inbox:
"Thanks for your mail, i want you to know that i have sincerely made payment for the item, which i have received a receipt from paypal concerning the payment to your account, so i want you to get the item ready for postage first thing tomorrow morning and get back to me with the shipment details so i can confirm to my client that the item is on its way."
So i sent this response:
"Look mate, ..i don't mean to be rude BUT, your account address is in the US, you paypal address is in Nigeria, and your other postcode is in PO9
If you wish to continue with this transaction you will need to phone me as i will not be going any further until you can make some specific contact with me.
I know you made a paypal payment, …but it was not to my ebay paypal acount and quite simply i will not send the item until the money is clear.
You have 24 hours from my previous email to phone me before the item is sold elsewhere."
Was i still being too nice, ..i really wanted him to phone, ..really i did.
I must tell you at this point the second chance offer was agreed with the new buyer, and this became more of a point of interest rather than a concern, …until the next day, ..this arrived in my inbox:
*nice choice of font for ebay :)
It would appear that as well as attempting to defraud me out of a camera, i was now being bullied into sending the item under the premise of an unposted item strike, ..a fake one at that (sending email was email@example.com).
The funny thing was he was well within his rights to have issued me a REAL one :)
I responded accordingly:
"ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"
..and funnily enough have heard noting since.
Now i am a professional, if i didn't spot this i would be very angry at myself, but for those of you out there that are a little worried, ..follow these key steps:
- never ship an item to nigeria, ..it is officially the most corrupt country in the world, there is no REAL eBay market there.
- always use a unique email address for your ebay account, ..i use email@example.com, which the buyers/sellers never see, …i then contact them from my personal email account, ..therefore when official(!) ebay emails arrive suddenly to my personal email address, i know it is a fake.
- always encourage phone contact. a genuine buyer will greatly appreciate this. a fake will not.
- never ever click on links in emails EVEN if they are official if the site in question holds any personal information or anything that can be used against you, ..facebook, myspace, banks, ebay, etc etc …always open a browser window and go to the site yourself.
- always put immediate contact/payment terms in your adverts, ..a genuine buyer will have no problems paying within 24 hours, or at least contacting you in person, ..this gives you enough time should it fall though to offer a second chance offer before the second place bidder has moved on and forgotten about the item.
Help stop the illegal trafficking of our electronics to Nigeria ;)

Passed in 1885, Florida's "No Aid" ban firmly states that no state money should be given to directly or indirectly aid any religious or sectarian organizations. However, grey areas still remain. For example, Christian ministers are currently paid by the state to rehabilitate incarcerated offenders, and Catholic Charities receives state funds to run homeless shelters. An associate professor at the University of Miami School of Law said the murkiness of the issue "has not been resolved by the highest court of Florida."
That might change. The president of the Council for Secular Humanism recently filed a lawsuit claiming "faith-based programming in Florida" violates the separation between church and state. In response, the First District Court of Appeal ruled that religious groups can continue to receive state funds for non-religious purposes. If an appeal is filed, the case could go to the Florida Supreme Court. (Source: Miami Herald.)
From an interfaith perspective, one noteworthy aspect of this case is that so many religious organizations currently receiving state funds are Christian. The ACLU fought against a Floridian voucher program in the mid-2000s because the program diverted tax dollars from public schools to "private, mostly church-run schools." In fact, the Florida Department of Education reported that 75% of the schools participating in the voucher program were religious schools.
If the Supreme Court rules that churches and church-run schools should be given taxpayer dollars, then should mosques, synagogues, and Buddhist and Hindu temples also receive their equal share of taxpayer dollars? What about Indigenous shamans, Wiccan covens, and Course in Miracles groups? How about nonbelievers (e.g., atheists, secular humanists, and agnostics) who are also working tirelessly for the environment, for human rights issues, and for better education of our children?

text: Wow. I woke up without an alarm, despite a sedative at 5 a.m this morning. Still got the Serengeti schedule calling the shots on my body, mind and soul. I woke up missing, and utterly confused about my bearings, but saw the dark silhouette of the Empire State with a diamond burst of orange light beneath it and in that moment I knew, this too was home. How can I be home in both places, when one has space and no humans, while the other has only humans and no space? Weird, but have already fallen into being here, even though only a part of me seems to have returned on KL0639. Maybe the rest of me is stuck in baggage claim back at Kilimanjaro hoping to make its way back to where it cares to belong. Wonder if all of me will ever feel at home in one place again…. probably not. In an unfamiliar emotional state, one that does not have an emoticon yet, but its somewhere between :S :(( 😀 :O and :I

question 3Dear AskMen.com,
In the last few months, my boyfriend has begun watching pornography more and more frequently. He surfs porn websites and has been buying X-rated magazines and videos. We still have sex almost every other day. He usually watches porn when I am not around. Should I be concerned?
Dear Concerned,
This probably just means that your boyfriend has a higher sex drive than you do. If you are content with your current sex life, you probably should not worry too much. Do keep your head up, however, and catch it early enough should this develop into a problem.
What could happen if this does become a problem is that he may lose interest in real sex and get hooked on pornography. Another problem is that if he gets bored of the porn, he may search elsewhere for it. The best thing you can do is get involved in his new hobby. Watch the movies with him and integrate them into your love life. He may enjoy them even more if he gets to watch his porn and have sex after rather than hide it from you. I am sure he prefers to have sex with you than masturbate.
Try to accept what he does. At the moment, you don't seem to have a problem on your hands, but make sure to look out for a potential situation that may arise.
Donald Zimmer
question 4Dear AskMen.com,
My wife is interested in having a lesbian experience with another woman. I am all for it and will not be participating. I want her, however, to be safe about it. How can she protect herself from a disease?
-Lucky Husband,
Dear Lucky Husband,
Sexually transmitted diseases are contracted through the passing of bodily fluids from one infected person to another. A man's ejaculate is generally a prime carrier of disease. Gay males are at high risk because of this, as well as the fact that anal sex causes many tears in the anus. Lesbians are at less risk because there is less exchange of fluids. There is still a chance, however, that it could happen. An option may be to use the female condom, but it is not fool-proof. The only way to be 100% safe is to only sleep with people that you know are disease-free.
Donald Zimmer

Women's Lacrosse Falls 12-7 At Harvard
March 5, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - UMass took a 2-1 lead within the first nine minutes of Saturday's contest with Harvard, but the Crimson scored six consecutive goals to close out the first half en route to a 12-7 win at Jordan Field in Cambridge. Freshman Kathleen Typadis scored four goals, her third consecutive multi-goal outing, in the loss.
The Minutewomen fall to 1-2 on the season, while Harvard improves to 1-0 with its season-opening win.
The Crimson controlled much of the game outshooting UMass 28-to-17.
Harvard's Elaine Belitsos led all players with six goals in the game.
Allie Kaveney scored the games first goal putting Harvard up 1-0 31 seconds into the game.
UMass responded with back-to-back goals as Lindsey Cassell and Shelley Boyle each scored giving the Minutewomen a 2-1 lead at the 21:35 mark of the first half.
Belitsos notched two of her six scores following that beating UMass keeper Lauren McCarthy twice to retake the lead for Harvard. The Crimson closed out the half on a 6-0 run. Liz Gamble scored twice in the last six minutes of the period to put Harvard up 7-2.
Typadis posted the first of her four goals 13 seconds into the second half. Belitsos and Typadis each traded goals after that before Belitsos scored twice to give Harvard a 10-4 advantage.
Freshman Jeanette Villapiano scored her first goal of the season with 12:38 to play, followed by Typadis' third goal of the half to pull the Minutewomen within four, 10-6.
Catherine Sproul and Belitsos found the back of the cage each in the last seven minutes of action.
Typadis scored her career-high fourth goal of the game with 60 seconds to play, but it was not enough as UMass dropped its second straight game.
UMass will host Albany next Saturday, March 12 at 3:00 p.m. kicking off a three-game home stand.

Here is a recipe that can be used universally with several different types of cereal, but today, I had some leftover Apple Jacks, so that was the flavor of choice. Feel free to be creative! Between picking the endless flavors and rolling the cookies in the sugar, kids are bound to have fun with this one, too!
Apple Jack Cookies
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (iodized)
- 3 cups of coursly crushed cereal (no need to crush if pieces are small like fruity pebbles)
- 1/4 cup white sugar (for rolling cookies)
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time and vanilla extract. Slowly add in dry ingredients mixing until combined. Stir in cereal. Roll into 1.5 inch balls and coat in white sugar. Arrange on a parchement lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 minutes or until raiseds and just starting to turn golden brown. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

The Rains County Sheriff's deputy who shot a dog April 19 has been terminated, KTRE News reported April 24.
The Examiner articles listed under suggested by the author tell the tragic story of how Rains County Deputy Jerrod Dooley shot a dog named Candy in the back of the head, then refused to mercifully end her life as she lay suffering.
The Facebook page Justice For Candy Middleton, started just two days ago by Cole and Jayna Middleton, has already gained almost 20,000 followers and climbing.
A petition was also started asking for the firing of Officer Dooley, who was place on administrative leave pending an investigation.
Word just came in from Sheriff David Traylor that Dooley has been terminated from the Rains County Sheriff's Department. Traylor stated the cause of the firing as threats made against Dooley.
Evidence had mounted against Dooley Wednesday after a necropsy report was sent to officials showing Dooley shot Candy in the back of the head, meaning Candy was retreating from the officer.
Cole and his family are heartbroken about the death of their dog, and Cole touched the hearts of dog lovers worldwide when he stated
"And then I had to do the unthinkable, the otherwise unthinkable. I had to kill my dog with my bare hands and put her out of her suffering, praying for this to be over with."
Sheriff Traylor has announced Dooley won't be rehired by the Rain's County Sheriff's Office, regardless of the outcome of the investigation. Traylor stated department and deputy safety as the primary reasons the decision to terminate was made.
The investigation is ongoing, with supporter's demanding that it's not enough for Dooley to be fired, he should be charged with animal cruelty.
If a private citizen had committed such a heinous act, animal cruelty charges, as well as filing a false statement to police would likely occur.
Dooley blatantly lied when he put in his official report that Candy had been shot because he "feared for his safety." He should be held accountable as a private citizen would.
Dooley's actions have left the family wide open to file a lawsuit against the officer, the Rains County Sheriff's Department, and the municipality of Emory, in which the incident took place.
Not only could Dooley end up being held accountable for animal cruelty, Cole and Jayna had their 4th Amendment rights violated.
Similar cases have resulted in charges of negligence against the officer responsible, meaning police are either improperly trained, or fail to take into account a dog may be present and being prepared.
Contact for Rains County Sheriff's Office is listed below
Phone: (903) 473-3181
Fax: (903) 473-3008
Police Department Address: 313 East North Street Emory, TX
A GoFundMe account was set up by supporters for anyone wishing to donate toward any legal issues necessary to see that justice is handed down for Candy's death.
Please leave a comment on your thoughts about this latest development, and any other issues that need to be addressed.

Thursday, June 19, 2014. Advocate story July 26, 2014; 11:42 p.m. Comments A few minutes with ... Champ Bailey The 12-time Pro Bowl cornerback chats with The Advocate about possibly winning a Super Bowl with the Saints and impressive young teammates Kenny Vaccaro and Brandin Cooks. The Advocate: Do you think this team has what it takes to win a Super Bowl? Champ Bailey: We do, but it's too early to even consider that we're one of the top two or three teams in this league. We've just got to keep grinding and everything will play itself out. TA: When you have a young teammate like Kenny Vaccaro, do you see something in him that you once saw in yourself? CB: He's hungry. And I think as a young guy ... everybody has talent. And if you don't have the mindset for it, you're going to look average. That's why he doesn't look average. He wants to be one of the best, or the best. He's going to be a great player. TA: Are you impressed with rookie receiver Brandin Cooks? CB: It's early. I'm not going to get ahead of myself. (But) his mindset and his talent alone — that makes me feel real optimistic about his future. That guy is going to be good. You can't be bad with that kind of talent and that kind of mindset. He's going to be good. I can't predict awards (like Rookie of the Year), but if he keeps going the way he's going, the sky's the limit for him.

Your Invisalign treatment will consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. And since your Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and your dentist or orthodontist, you know you'll end up with a smile that truly fits.
The Sapphire Whitening system is made by Den-Mat - the people behind Lumineers and is only available at dental offices. This system uses a very powerful Sapphire Plasma Arc Light along with Sapphire Whitening Gel. According to Den-Mat, the light assists the bleaching process in two ways. Sapphire's bleach formulation absorbs light in the blue end of the spectrum, which becomes excited and decomposes into reactive intermediators that attack the colored compounds that form stains on teeth. In addition, the absorption of blue light serves to activate the colored stain materials absorbed on the teeth.
Dental implants are a great alternative therapy for restoring your smile by replacing missing teeth. If you are missing one tooth, our dentists may recommend a dental implant and an implant crown. This involves placing a screw-like implant in the jawbone and after a prescribed healing time, covering the implant with a crown. The is the most natural way to rebuild your smile while preserving the adjacent teeth.
