a nice helpful woman and the other personnel is neat and helpful
mila speaks good English and can help you safely parking the car. The room was neat and clean, good breakfast we got in the room was ample and very tasty. For us a place to definitely go on your next visit to Prague. Return to
een aardige behulpzame vrouw en het verdere personeel is netjes en behulpzaam
mila spreekt goed engels en kan helpen bij het veilig parkeren van de auto. de kamer was netjes en goed schoon het ontbijt kregen we op de kamer en was ruim voldoende en erg lekker. Voor ons een plek om zeker naar terug te gaan bij een volgend bezoek aan Praag.
The room was very spacious, which was nice. It had its own sink and table with chairs. The shower was shared with only three other rooms, which is better than in most hostels. The kitchen was very small, but useful to make coffee and such. Breatkfast was provided since it was low season. Everything was clean.
But don't expect to meet a local and to stay in their home. This is a hostel, with no common room to meet other travelers.
Located right next to the bus station and a short walk to the Old Town.
Very nice experience and stay in Prague, very comfortable location. The only reproach one of the people who attended the reception that did not have much vocation to the attention of tourists in my opinion.
Muy linda experiencia y estadia en Praga, ubicación muy comoda. Lo unico reprochable una de las personas que atendian la recepcion que no tenia mucha vocacion a la atención de los turistas a mi criterio.
The room was quite nice and clean. It was the 29 room apartment A. The only bad thing is that it is not clear at the time of booking that the bathroom is shared, although it was very clean and was almost just for us because we were on days during the week. On the Web puts that breakfast is served at the Italian restaurant down there, but it is not. Either way, they bring you a breakfast basket with everything: Yogurt, fruit, bread, butter, jam, chocolates, sausage ... Nicely the truth. Only one day one of the girls balked reception to give us some more butter for breakfast, lots of bread and butter only a portion ... Overall very good, the location is great, is 10 minutes walk to the central square and there is also a metro stop at the door.
La habitacion estaba bastante bien y limpia. Era el apartamento 29 habitacion A. Lo unico malo es que no queda muy claro a la hora de reservar que el baño es compartido, aunque estaba muy limpio y fue casi solo para nosotros porque fuimos en dias entre semana. En la web pone que el desayuno se sirve en el restaurante italiano que hay abajo, pero no es así. De cualquier forma, te traen una cesta de desayuno con de todo: Yogur, fruta, pan, mantequilla, mermelada, chocolates, embutido... Muy bien la verdad. Solo un dia una de las chicas de recepcion nos puso pegas para darnos algo mas de mantequilla para el desayuno, mucho pan y solo una porcion de mantequilla... En general muy bien, la ubicacion esta genial, son 10 minutos andando hasta la plaza central y tambien hay una parada de metro en la puerta.
Very well located, close to the Florenc station. Welcoming and helpful staff at the pension also. However, a little a bit noisy because of the intense traffic in the area.
Very centrally located, the old town is reachable in short 10 minute walk. The room was okay and the available kitchen super convenient. Room easily in compliance with the 24 hour cancellation period.
Sehr zentral gelegen, die Altstadt ist in knappen 10 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar. Das Zimmer war okay und die verfügbare Küche superpraktisch. Zimmer problemlos stornierbar bei Einhaltung der 24 h Frist.
Price-performance ratio is great. Centrally located near the bus station. Nice helpful staff. Clean accommodation.
Preis-Leistung top. Zentral am Busbahnhof gelegen. Nettes hilfsbereites Personal. Saubere Unterkunft.
It is very convenient to access the studio apartment, the metro and main bus station are nearby. Convenient store open to 12am is opposite to the apartment. It is a nice experience at Praha.
apartment conveniently located near downtown. This is an apartment hotel, no contact with the owner. pleasant
appartement bien situé, centre ville proche. c'est un appartement hôtel, pas de contact avec le propriétaire. séjour agréable
This accommodation was fine, everything is present and part bathroom / WC did not have problems with other guests. Reach. All attractions within walking distance The night service works great, so we leave the room came in at night. Metro ein bus terminal in 5 min away, supermarket ditto. We enjoyed Prague. It is important to note that are ongoing in the courtyard / achterhoofje construction / renovation of neighboring house. So info or room aimed at this. Further fine accommodation, clean and good for 3 days stay.
Deze accomodatie was prima, alles aanwezig en gedeelte badkamer/WC leverde geen problemen met andere gasten op. Alle bezienswaardigheden op loopafstand te bereiken. De nachtservice werkt uitstekend, zodat we ook laat in de nacht de kamer binnen kwamen. Metro ein bus terminal in 5 min afstand, supermarkt dito.
We hebben genoten van Praag. Wel is op te merken dat op de binnenplaats / achterhoofje bouwwerkzaamheden/ renovering van buurhuis gaande zijn. Dus info of kamer hierop gericht is. Verder prima accomodatie, schoon en goed voor 3 dagen verblijf.

Dan Waibel Designer Builder
You think the owners of this home love turquoise too?! The art deco inspired space by Dan Waibel Designer/Builder out of Peoria, Illinois and photographed by David Price of Black Olive Photographic is so fun and colorful, you'd have to think the owners are pretty happy people themselves! (I would certainly cook with a smile in that kitchen!) I love the mix of white and turquoise cabinetry, with all the great tile bringing it together! The pop of yellow is really fun too! You can tour more of this home right here!

Drug Babies: The Youngest Victims of Addiction
Written by Nicole Porter
Last updated on November 14, 2013 @ 10:29PM
Created on November 14, 2013 @ 6:08PM
The sound of a baby's first cry is a beautiful thing; however, for some babies, that cry lasts longer, and has a much deeper, darker meaning.
"Babies cry, a lot," describes Dr. Wanda Hembree, UHC Obstetrics & Gynecology.
What we're talking about is babies with neonatal abstinence syndrome, or in more common terms, babies born with symptoms of withdrawal.
"These babies are typically a little bit more fussy, they're a little bit more inconsolable, they may have some feeding problems," said Dr. Alicia Maddix, UHC Pediatrics.
"They'll get excoriations or scrapes, they scratch so hard. They have a lot of anxiety and they don't like to be touched," said Dr. Hembree.
"Tremors and they can even possible seize," adds Misty Harlow, UHC Labor & Delivery Unit Nurse Manager.
These symptoms can last for days, weeks even. Sometimes, the babies are sent home on non-pharmacological treatments for months.
This is more of a problem than you may realize. About 13,000 babies are born yearly with NAS. Harrison County ranks number one in the state per capita for mothers-to-be who test positive for some type of drug, at some point in their pregnancy. In reality, about 70 to 80 percent of the mothers-to-be at United Hospital Center fall into that category. The good news is that not all of these babies are born with NAS.
"Most of them will tell me, right out, that they're doing it," said Dr. Hembree.
She says, that's a good thing because they can get the moms on the right track. This often includes getting them enrolled in some type of treatment program.
"The babies don't do well if they stop cold turkey. The babies can have seizures, they can die in the pregnancy," said Dr. Hembree.
Once these babies are born, their urine and first bowel movement are tested. Then their abstinence score is rated every four hours. This means the doctors and nurses check for sneezing, yawning, sweating and respiratory rate. The higher these numbers are, the higher the chances of withdrawal in the baby. Treatment for this problem usually begins within two to three days.
"We have to give them morphine," said Dr. Hembree.
"Breastfeeding for an addicted baby is better. It helps them transition through that withdrawal period," said Lee Ann Romeo, UHC Childbirth Educator and Lactation Specialist.
What experts want out there is that this all can be preventable.
"Seek treatment. Immediately. When you find out you're pregnant," said Harlow.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Whether it's a psychological factor or simple on-court superiority, Mississippi State has something on Ole Miss.
The Bulldogs have beaten the Rebels four consecutive times, and MSU coach Rick Stansbury is 11-1 against Ole Miss at Humphrey Coliseum. That's where the teams will meet again today at 12:30 p.m. for a key SEC Western Division showdown.
Both squads enter the game with 5-6 league records and are tied with Arkansas for second place behind Alabama. State (13-12 overall) won the first meeting, by a 69-64 count in Oxford on Jan. 13, and now would be a good time for Ole Miss (17-9) to get over the hump at the Hump.
When asked why MSU was such a tough matchup, junior forward Terrance Henry said, "To be honest, I don't know. I guess they take it more personal than we do, but we're going to try to change that (today)."
The Rebels appear to be playing better basketball than when the teams last met. After an 0-4 start in SEC play, they've gone 5-2, including wins against Kentucky and Arkansas.
"I hope we're better than the night we played them. It seems like a lifetime ago," said Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy, who's 3-6 against MSU.
Senior guard Zach Graham had a career night in Wednesday's 90-59 win over Auburn, hitting seven 3-pointers en route to a 30-point outing. His emergence is crucial, especially with senior point guard Chris Warren struggling of late: He's shot 6 of 20 from the floor, including 2 of 10 from 3-point range, over the last two games.
Down low, Henry and sophomore Reggie Buckner have stepped it up. Henry had 14 points against Auburn, while Buckner has recorded three or more blocks in six of his last seven games. Those two both scored in double figures against Kentucky, Arkansas and Auburn.
"As the season has progressed, I feel like me and Reggie, and coming in with Stead(man Short), I feel like we're getting better down low offensively and defensively," Henry said.
Seeking a spark
MSU has lost two in a row, blowing a 19-point lead and Auburn and coming up short, but playing better, at Kentucky on Tuesday.
Point guard Dee Bost has become a bit turnover-prone, averaging 4.6 miscues over the last five games. But he's also averaging 17.5 points and 5.1 assists on the season.
State got good play, finally, from senior Ravern Johnson, who scored 21 against Kentucky off the bench, where he remains since returning from a two-game suspension last week.
His replacement in the starting lineup, Jalen Steele, scored a career-high 17 in Lexington against the Wildcats.
Steele said Friday he didn't know if he'd start again today, but he's willing to help however he can.
"I can give the team a spark. Defensively, rebounding, scoring – anything to help the team out," he said.
Steele's spark has helped, and whether as a starter or reserve, it'll be needed again today.
Even though he's a freshman who hails from Knoxville, he understands the import of today's game.
"It's big. We've got to come out focused and ready to play this game. Ole Miss is our rival and a lot of people expect us to win this game."

Ten fans were injured and multiple cars were damaged when a rope supporting Fox's overhead camera on the frontstretch of Charlotte Motor Speedway snapped on lap 121 of Sunday's Coca-Cola 600.
The rope that broke from the camera was the drive rope, which allows the camera to travel up and down above the frontstretch.
"The camera system consists of three ropes – a drive rope which moves the camera back and forth, and two guide ropes on either side. The drive rope failed near the Turn 1 connection and fell to the track," Fox Sports stated in a release. "The camera itself did not come down because guide ropes acted as designed. A full investigation is planned, and use of the camera is suspended indefinitely."
According to CMS, seven fans were treated and released for minor cuts and three were taken to a local hospital for further evaluation and released late Sunday night.
To zip along the track, the camera is attached to various points at the top of the grandstands. After it broke over the track, the cable was draped in the seats, as well as on the track. To viewers at home, it was unclear initially why the caution flag was thrown, as Fox was reluctant to address the issue. However, after a few minutes of dancing around the real reason for the delay, the network took full responsibility for the incident.
"It was like getting attacked by a giant squid," Ambrose said. "It was just flapping, and I didn't know what was going on. I thought it was cords coming out of maybe one of [Mark Martin's] tires or something, but I could just hear it flapping. And then it got caught up in the rear end and I lost my brakes, so it was a nightmare but we got through it. NASCAR did a great job of actually handling a crisis there because we were hard-done by and they gave us our laps back and we were able to stay in the race and duke it out."
After a red-flag period to clean up all of the pieces of the rope from the track, NASCAR allowed teams 15 minutes in the pits to fix any damage from hitting the rope. Under a red flag, teams are normally not allowed to make any adjustments to their cars, but because of the number cars affected and the abnormality of the incident, teams were allowed the chance to work on their cars without the risk of losing their position.
In that red-flag period, Busch's team was able to essentially rebuild the entire right front of his car with sheet metal and bondo, and Ambrose's team was able to reattach the brake line.
Later in the race, separate from the damage he sustained from the rope, Busch suffered engine trouble and ended up 38th. Ambrose finished 10th.More race coverage from Yahoo! Sports

Google will tell you that a "lusca" is a mythical sea monster from the Caribbean, a colossal octopus that can change color and grow longer than any such species on record. Atlanta foodies will tell you that Lusca is the name of an exciting new restaurant sprung from the tentacles of Octopus Bar, the stealthy little pop-up that chefs Angus Brown and Nhan Le turned into a mecca for serious late-night diners—including some of the city's hottest chefs.
But this gleaming white-tiled room in the south Buckhead storefront—that was previously Bluefin—is a long way from So Ba, the East Atlanta Village pho parlor where Le and Brown first wowed their midnight fan club. Where there was once scruffiness and smoke and a sleepy nocturnal vibe, there is now electricity and energy and a superpolished fine-dining experience.
From the front of the house to the kitchen—which now claims a "butcher, baker, chef and raw bar"—the elegant tone and attention to detail signify that Brown and Le have upped their game considerably. In a city that claims to have risen like a phoenix from the ashes, here the octopus ascends again. And that's not just a silly metaphor: Looming above the cocktail and raw bars, tentacles billowing across the ceiling, are a pair of octopi murals, painted by Will Mitchell of Squared Away Signs. The sleek contemporary design—lots of natural light, bold wood-grained tables and tufted red-leather bar stools that are pock-marked like coral—was done in-house, with partner Jeff Jurgena helming construction.
Le, a native of Vietnam, curates the oysters and impeccably fresh seafood, while charcuterie is the domain of Jonathan Sellitto, who sharpened his skills in Italy and Barbara Lynch's The Butcher Shop in Boston. Pastries and bread (which get a star turn at Sunday brunch) are the handiwork of Brooke Lenderman (Cakes & Ale, Empire State South). And then there's the heady luxury of Brown's cooking—at once rustic and refined, exotic and comforting, pure and elemental.
I love the salty essence that imbues nearly every bite here: fresh-baked country bread with sweet butter; platters of pristine bivalves; thoughtfully chosen, uberfresh nigiri; delicate hand-rolled pasta. Brown, who recently spent time touring Southeast Asia, understands the nature of that mysterious fifth taste that the Japanese call umami. He applies it with brio to everything from asparagus (massaged with garlic aioli and bottarga) to trout roe (perked up with espelette peppers and softened with raw honey and creme fraiche).
From Le's station, we started with an icy plate of sweet Kumamoto oysters from Washington; a few Beausoleils and French Kisses from New Brunswick and buttery lovelies from Duxbury Island Creek, Mass.—all fresh, all good. It should be noted that the only sushi offered here is nigiri (sorry, sushi roll-lovers), and Le selects his catch with an eye for the unexpected. The live scallop, red sea bream, bluefin otoro and amberjack belly we sampled were about as good as it gets—unctuous, buttery and terrific with nothing more than rice—though the soy, wasabi and ginger is there for the taking.
As a counterpoint to the salinity, we moved on to Sellitto's beautiful charcuterie board: smoky prosciutto; pork belly with cherry mostarda; pickled red onion and cauliflower; superbly whipped sweet-savory chicken liver pate—all of which we schmeared or plunked down on bites of crusty herb-and-oil-rubbed bread. Divine.
It just happened that wild salmon are running. And Brown has the good sense to roast his Copper River sockeye so that the skin is crisp and the interior medium rare—then he seasons it with just salt, pepper and lemon. Perfect. Monterey squid was plated with crispy torn potatoes, garlic and some intense bites of Calabrian chile; once again, it was all about texture—springy squid, crackling spud skins, charry little spice bombs. So we soothed our palates with bites of fresh green salad: English peas, gem lettuce and mint, tossed with creamy buttermilk dressing. Finally, we feasted on a dish that yet again shows off Brown's keen way of transforming something plain into something rich and divine: ribbons of pappardelle tossed with pancetta, breadcrumbs and dabs of bright orange sea urchin. Amazing.
And how delightful that the team's love of fresh local produce spills into the dessert program. Lenderman's sweets are rich, homespun and not terribly complicated. A custardy semifreddo was coddled in lemon curd, crowned with fresh strawberries and strewn with meringue crumbles. A pecan pie—with layers like phyllo pastry—was paired with fresh peaches and peach ice cream, the nuts and fruit both plucked directly from Pearson Farm in middle Georgia.
It appears Brown and Le have opened one of the year's most anticipated restaurants with little or no fanfare, taking the time to school their staff and to find the tempo of their new neighborhood. With Octopus Bar, they created a minor wave in the culinary world. With Lusca, they have launched a tsunami.

Three-time Formula 1 World Champion Niki Lauda and actor Chris Hemsworth were on hand at the Beverly Hilton Sunday night, January 12, to trade jokes on stage as well as present the film nomination, "Rush," for the Golden Globe Awards. The movie directed by Ron Howard about the 1976 rivalry of Lauda and James Hunt (played by Hemsworth) was nominated for Best Picture, Drama by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which sponsors the Golden Globes. The award presentations were televised live on NBC.
Formula 1 fans had to wait until quite late in the three-hour program to see Niki Lauda walk out on stage. Wearing a tuxedo, black tie, red pocket handkerchief, and his signature red Aabar Abu Dhabi baseball cap, and standing next to Hemsworth, the towering star of "Thor" as well as "Rush," the champion was all smiles, clearly enjoying a big night out in tinsel-town.
He said, "'Rush' is a totally accurate and honest movie about when James Hunt and I pushed ourselves to the absolute limit, where there was no margin for error, or you end up looking like this . . ."
Smiling the whole time, he removed his hat, turned his head and said to Hemsworth, "Look at me Chris . . . but I'm here in Hollywood!"
Then Hemsworth introduced "Rush," and a clip of the movie was shown.
In the meantime, Daniel Bruhl, who plays Lauda in the film and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, sat at the "Rush" table with director, Ron Howard.
As it turned out, neither "Rush" nor Bruhl won their categories. "12 Years a Slave" won for Best Motion Picture, Drama and the Best Supporting Actor globe went home with Jared Leto of "Dallas Buyers Club."
With millions of people watching movie award programs for evening entertainment in the dead of winter, perhaps "Rush" participants and fans can take comfort in the notion that having a presence at the awards gives greater awareness to audiences of not only the movie but also the sport and history of Formula 1.
Oscar nominations come out January 16, and F1 and "Rush" fans will certainly be on the look-out to see if "Rush" garners any nods for Hollywood's biggest trophy.
"Rush" is nominated for four BAFTA Awards (the UK equivalent of the Academy Awards) including Best Picture.
"Rush" will be available for home viewers when it comes out in HD digital format on January 14 and on DVD/Blu-ray on January 28.

The easiest way to increase Chicago's standardized test scores is to recruit the brilliant offspring of Asian immigrants and enroll them in an Arne Duncan charter school in Roseland. We could rename the notorious Fenger High and call it the Educational Grief Academy for Diversity, or EGAD for short. Doing so would be a blow to the basketball programs on the South Side, but maybe it would save the jobs of a few embattled principals. Why not? Asian kids scored the highest on the national SAT scores in 2010.
Specifically, these hard working youngsters averaged a score of 1636 out of a maximum point total of 2400. White children averaged 1580. Black students scored below every other category of human youth at 1277. The absolute lowest. The national average for all of humanity in 2010 was 1509. I was particularly disturbed to learn that our Hispanic brothers and sisters, many who began school struggling with a new language did better than African-Americans. Mexican-Americans tallied an average of 1369, and Puerto Ricans came in at 1349. BTW, if you are from Puerto Rico, your biological ancestry is partially African, the Obama part I guess.
The So what? The 'so-what' is that the lowest SAT for admittance to the University of Illinois is 1610. 1277 ain't cutting it. The universal reaction from elected black officials, apologetic black educators, and guilt-ridden black parents, or more realistically, single mothers is: RACISM. They declare the SAT is biased. You know what? It probably is. It is biased toward students who can read and write well and who take an algebra class before they have a child out of wedlock. But then colleges, grad schools, and corporations are biased as well. Life is biased, job competition is intense, get over it.
A Simplistic Review: The SAT has three components: Math, Reading Comprehension, and Essay/Writing. A student can acquire a maximum score of 800 in each part for a total of 2400 points. One out of every 3,000 test takers achieves maximum, and that kid is not likely to live in Chicago, or for that matter in Illinois. In 2010 average scores in our state dropped in reading and math. To be candid, only six percent of Illinois students take the SAT. That is the good news. The bad news is that the percentage that do are applying to the best schools: the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, the University of Chicago in Bolshevik Hyde Park, Bernardine Dohrn's Northwestern University, Washington University in St. Louis, and the Kremlin's favorite source of comfort and unilateral disarmament, Harvard. Thus, our most academically inclined adolescents take the SAT. Logically then, our most gifted black students, or at least those with high aspirations fall over 200 points below the national average.
The Fact-Based Presumption: Black students, for a variety of horrid reasons familiar to anyone in America old enough to have had a root canal, are hopelessly behind their non-black peers in educational achievement that matters. The social, economic, and criminal consequences are evident and will not be repeated in this missive. The War on Poverty, launched with 'shock-and-awe' in 1965, has resulted in massive urban ignorance and collective dependence that cannot be remedied in less time than the twenty-five years of decadence that took us there in the first place.
That's right poverty pimps, black high school seniors averaged 1277. Therefore your church scams, sleazy politics, and non-profit (yeah right) organizations are safe for the next half century. But for the rest of us who give a duck, we gotta start Negro education reform somewhere, and I do not think we are going to do it with the U.S. SecEd, Arne Duncan's Race-to-the-Top game show. Let's get down, dirty, and practical.
One Answer: Well, uh first the question. What do we do to improve reading? A couple of years after my appointment as an elementary school principal in Bellwood a light went off in my head. You see my teachers, most of whom hated the kids, would confiscate toys they would bring to school. They did so with great joy and enthusiasm and deposited them in my office with a sense of accomplishment akin to a cop making a big drug bust. Eventually I realized that among the confiscated Pokeman Cards, transformers, and switchblades there were no comic books. When I was a kid going to school on Chicago's south side, McCosh, Bennett, and Beidler, teachers were always snatching comic books. Even the tough guys read them. Indeed, the thugs would strongarm them from the smaller kids. But no more. Ghetto kids no longer read comics. Why? The cost is prohibitive.
When I was crumbsnatcher my mom gave my sister and I a 25-cent a week allowance on Saturday and I walked down to the local mom-and-pop store, you know where you would occasionally find a roach inside of a malted ball, and bought a box of Milk Duds for 5 cents, a designer Mounds Bar for 10, and a package of 3 comic books for a dime. The middle comic was always a mystery because you could not see it. Everybody read them, traded them, and hid them from evil teachers.
But no more. An Action Comic book today costs over three bucks! This people is the Missing Link between today's madness and yesteryear's sanity. Everybody read something even if it was only a comic book. Now they read nothing until they get to their sophomore year in high school and they are required to read MacBeth. Hell, if you can't read Spiderman how in the duck are you gonna get through Shakespeare? Madness!
The Answer: I used my Title 1 money that every ghetto principal has to set up an account with a comic book store on Mannheim Road. I loaded up my kids with comic books and made sure my Gestapo teachers permitted them to read them for 30 minutes every afternoon. Yes, my reading scores went up. Folks, this is not rocket science. Let's cut the crap about mission statements, best practices, data systems, and teacher evaluations and work directly with the bloody kids and stop playing fiddily-duck with each other!
Oh, oh do you remember Classic Comics. Those of us who were a little more serious about reading than the Egyptian Cobras (remember Chicago's first black street gang?), read the upscale and slightly more expensive Classic Comics. I think they were a whole quarter, so you were a committed academic if you read these. According to Wikipedia, the series went out of publication while I was overseas in the Air Force in 1971. A terrible loss that I did not notice until 1994. Today they are valuable collectables. Culturally, they filled a gap for kids, especially poor kids. It is far better to read something than suffer the fate of those who read not; and comics had plot, characters, and a beginning, middle, and end that made more sense than reality TV or Hip Hop music.
Look, I am running out of space so I will just direct you to my solution to those schools who are infested with minority children that are three to five years behind white kids in mathematics. This is how you can fill that gap. I wrote this article well over a year ago. Fact is, professional educators had the solution to the academic gap between the races every since Nixon escaped impeachment by resigning, but they do no have the guts to implement it. I cannot wait until the first Tuesday in November.

The Pennsylvania State House of Representatives passed a resolution last week that will make it much harder for organizations that support the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs - PEDs - to set up shop in the state.
House Resolution 626 "condemns the use of performance-enhancing drugs by athletes, rebuking any organization that knowingly allows or encourages athletes to use performance-enhancing drugs and urging all high school and college coaches and athletic directors in this Commonwealth to educate themselves and their athletes about the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs." HR 626 won the overwhelming support of the House, passing 198-0.
State Rep. Joe Hackett (R-Delaware), sand the HR 626 sends the appropriate message to organizations that tread in the illegal - and many say, immoral - practice of advocating PED use.
"Drugging is rampant among some professional athletes, particularly within so-called 'strongman' competitions," Hackett said, noting that there is no drug testing involved in many of these competitions. "Unfortunately, many of our young people feel the only way they can compete is by using anabolic steroids, human growth hormones, diuretics and stimulants, which can lead to heart attacks, stroke and cancer."
PED use among Pennsylvania athletes is a real concern. Penn State convened last year a panel that that analyzed PED use in sports, but PED use isn't only centered on those who take the drugs. University of Pennsylvania's Center for Neuroscience and Society released a white paper earlier this month that confronted the ethical side of the debate, pointing out that not only the users are affected by PED use.
"How will the lives of all individuals, including those who chose not to enhance, be influenced by living in a society with widespread enhancement? In competitive situations such as SAT testing, we may end up needing the equivalent of the regulations surrounding performance enhancing drugs at sports events," wrote paper author Martha J. Farah. "Even in everyday work and school contexts, enhancement is likely to touch all of us. The freedom not to enhance may be difficult to maintain in a society where one's competition is using enhancement to improve attention, memory, or the ability to withstand unsettling experiences. Conversely, barriers such as cost will prevent some people who would like to enhance from doing so. This could exacerbate the disadvantages already faced by people of low socioeconomic status in education and employment."
Indeed, competition spurs individuals to consider using PEDs and organizations to support the drugs' use - repercussions be damned.
"This is about one-upsmanship," said Dr. Robert Sing, a sports medicine physician. "This is about cheating. Unfortunately, there are serious complications from this cheating." Those complications include tumors, cardiovascular disease and tendon ruptures.
"This resolution sends a clear message to those who run these competitions," said Al Thompson, sports director for the Delaware Valley Radio Network, who has been tracking the deaths of athletes he said are linked to PEDs. "We've had one death every eight months."
Hackett, a member of the judiciary, Aging and Older Adult Services, Human Services, and Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committees, circulated a memo to Harrisburg colleagues that further outlined the need for HR 626.
"The use of performance enhancing drugs by athletes is an issue which has received widespread attention in recent years from professional sport leagues. Numerous stars of baseball and football have been caught using these substances and, subsequently, punished for doing so," read a portion of Hackett's memo. "However, lost in the discussion over whether the use of PEDs is cheating is the toll they take on a person's body and mind. One such 'sport' that used to be promoted regularly by television sports networks was professional weightlifting. There is no drug testing involved in this competition. In fact, many argue that the use of PEDs is actually encouraged. The results of this blatant disregard for safety are mind-boggling. Since 2000, seven strongman competitors have died unexpectedly.
"The lack of oversight by the governing body of these strongman competitions recently led to ESPN dropping them from its programming schedule. However, the promotion of these events along with the occurrences in more prominent American professional sports causes me great concern for what example we are setting for our young student athletes," Hackett continued in the memo, in which the representative noted that HR 626 will condemn the use of PEDs by athletes and rebukes any organization that knowingly allows or encourages the use of PEDs and calls on high school and college coaches and athletic directors in the state to educate themselves and their student athletes about the dangers of PEDs. "This is a growing issue in our society. The use of PEDs could arguably lead to other drug use and violent behavior and is a problem which must be addressed as soon as possible in an athlete's career if any changes are going to be made."

Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick (32) looks up as Detroit Red Wings left wing Justin Abdelkader (8) celebrates the goal by teammate center Pavel Datsyuk during the second period in Detroit Wednesday.
DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings moved a step closer toward extending their postseason streak to 22 with a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night.
Jordin Tootoo netted the go-ahead goal early in the third period, and Johan Franzen scored on a power play with 6:26 left, lifting Detroit into eighth place in the Western Conference.
The Red Wings, who have won two straight games, are one point ahead of Columbus and one behind seventh-place Minnesota. All three teams have two games remaining in the regular season.

This piano chord chart lists all the major and minor triads chromatically. Learn the major and minor triads first according to appearance/keyboard image. (To see the chords grouped this way, go to "keyboard chords" .)
Once you've become familiar with the chords in their image groups, you should start practicing them chromatically (this is how they are listed here on this piano chord chart), ascending and descending at least one octave.
Start by blocking (all three notes at once)each chord with both hands while saying its name: play and say "C-Major", then play and say "D-flat Major",... ascending until you arrive at "C-Major" and then go back down. Keep a slow, steady beat (using a metronome is helpful).
Once you are proficient at blocking the triads ascending and descending, try rolling (one note at a time) each chord with both hands at the same time. Roll each chord up as you ascend, and then roll each chord down as you descend.
Eventually, your daily exercise routine should include blocking and rolling all the major and minor triads, ascending and descending one octave (or more if you'd like), and gradually developing a faster tempo (use your metronome).
Over time (several months, perhaps), you should be confident enough to play your triads at a steady 100 to 160 beats per minute, playing quarter-notes while blocking, and triplets (three notes per beat) while rolling.
[By learning and mastering all of the major and minor triads, as well as the basic 7th chords, your piano skills will expand greatly. Chords and scales are the building-blocks of western music. So become familiar with as many chords and scales as you can and your piano-playing abilities, as well as your understanding of the music you are learning, will continually grow. The more chords and scales you have mastered, the more you will feel confident and comfortable at the piano, the more difficult and diverse the music you can handle. Essentially, with more and more chords and scales comes more and more piano mastery. So learn them in all their forms: root position, inversions, arpeggios, patterns, hands-sparately, hands-together. The A piano chords are just one little piece of the huge chords-and-scales picture. You'll want to apply due diligence to them as well as all the other basic chords and scales. If you do, you will be a happier, more confident piano player. Good luck!]

2014-15 SIU Women's Basketball Team
Julie Beck is entering her third season as the SIU women's basketball program's Director of Basketball Operations in 2015-16 after being hired by head coach Cindy Stein on April 17, 2013.
Beck was previously part of the SIU women's basketball staff for 19 years, including some of the best seasons in program history. She served 17 years as an assistant under Hall of Fame coach Cindy Scott from 1981 to 1998 before serving as the Salukis' head coach from 1998-2000.
In her new capacity, Beck's responsibilities will include making travel arrangements, organizing practice times, serving as a liaison with academics and marketing and assisting in alumni and community service events. In her first season in Carbondale, Beck helped begin the yearly Donate Life game to raise awareness for organ donation. She also assisted in SIU's Go Pink game efforts, which resulted in more than $4,000 being raised for Southern Illinois Healthcare's new comprehensive cancer center in southern Illinois.
Saluki women's basketball had a 333-186 overall record during its 19 years with Beck on the staff between 1981 and 2000. SIU made four trips to the NCAA Tournament, including a Sweet 16 run in 1987, won three conference titles and posted seven 20-win seasons during Beck's tenure as a Saluki assistant. Southern also won an MVC-record 39-consecutive conference games between the 1985-86 and 1986-87 seasons. After her coaching career, Beck spent 10 years working in marketing and group sales for Saluki Athletics.
Before coming to Carbondale, Beck got her coaching start as an assistant at the University of Missouri during the 1979-80 season after ending her playing career with the Tigers. As a player, she was a three-year letterwinner from 1975-79. During that time, Tiger squads compiled a 73-27 record, including a 26-win season and Big Eight Tournament championship her senior year. Beck earned her bachelor's degree from Mizzou in 1978.

This Dessert table was designed for a gorgeous little girl's Baptism. The brief I was given was pretty girly, and a little vintage but not a whole lot of pink so I added a touch of lemon to break the colours up. It encorporated a number of candy selections with personalised labels, backdrop and favour boxes with fresh florals to add that extra pretty to the table. It also included some gorgeous lace cookies, bow cake pops, a mix of fondant designed cupcakes and white chocolate macaroons created by Oh Sugar.

Research has shown that students will be motivated to learn, and learn more, when they like the teacher. This means that a teacher must be able to evoke positive feelings about the teacher and the subject. The difficulty arises when teachers and tutors confuse being friendly with trying to be a friend. A tutor can be much more effective by being friendly rather than by trying to be a friend. Tutors can use the following strategies to help their students understand and comprehend the material they are working with.
Act as an equal -- avoid appearing superior or snobbish.
Be dynamic -- students appreciate someone who is active and enthusiastic.
Create a learning environment -- choose a location and a situation that makes learning fun, interesting and entertaining.
Be comfortable -- be at ease with yourself.
Concede some control -- allow the student to lead and pursue knowledge.
Show interest -- be interested in what they have to say.
Be optimistic -- convey a positive outlook; this will be contagious.
What are Friends For? A young man once approached Socrates and asked to be given knowledge and understanding. Socrates took him down to the seashore, led him into the water, and forced his head under the waves. The youth struggled and when his resistance had nearly stopped, Socrates dragged him up on the shore.
Later, the youth asked why Socrates had acted as he did.
"When you were under the water, what was the one thing you wanted more than anything else?" asked Socrates.
"Air," was the reply.
"When you want knowledge and understanding as badly as you wanted air," said Socrates, "you won't have to ask anyone to give it to you."

SEOUL, Jan. 10 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and the United States Friday failed to produce a deal on sharing the cost of keeping 28,500 U.S. troops here with both sides facing time constraints after the previous pact expired recently.
The latest five-year Special Measures Agreement (SMA), which determined South Korea's contributions to the cost of stationing U.S. troops here, expired at the end of last year.
The two allies have previously held nine rounds of talks for a renewal only to find differences on several issues, including the size of Seoul's contributions and rules to enhance transparency in the use of the defense funds.
These issues continued to dominate and prolong their negotiations on Friday, the second day of the 10th round of the Seoul-Washington talks to renew the pact.
The allies will hold another day of negotiations on Saturday to hammer out the final deals, according to a foreign ministry spokesman.
The U.S. has demanded South Korea contribute about 950 billion won (US$892.3 million) under a new agreement, up 9.2 percent from the 869.5 billion won that Seoul paid last year under the previous agreement, citing increased North Korean threats and U.S. budget difficulties.
Seoul, however, has been reluctant to give in to the U.S. demand, saying it can settle for around 900 billion won.
The allies have also been in disagreement over the contentious issue of Seoul's push to lay down rules to better control the U.S. use of the defense funds.
The length of the renewed pact has also been one of the major points of negotiations.
Sources said the two sides may come up with a package deal over the major issues, but their differing views may further prolong their talks.
They said that the two sides are likely to reach a price compromise midway between their proposed sums.
The countries, represented by Amb. Hwang Joon-kook and Amb. Eric John of the U.S. Department of State, are expected to hold another round of negotiations later, should their Saturday talks fall through again, according to the sources.
Since forging their first SMA in 1991, South Korea has shouldered part of the defense cost, and its share has increased every few years when the military agreement was renewed.
The Seoul-Washington Mutual Defense Treaty had originally put the burden of bankrolling U.S. defense activities here on the U.S. side.

Jeter passes Wagner for most hits by a shortstop
That single moved Jeter into sixth place on the all-time hit parade ahead of the major leagues' first great shortstop, Honus Wagner. This was a very big deal.
DJ has passed quite a few legends on the hit list this year, Hall of Famers such as Eddie Collins, Paul Molitor and Carl Yastrzemski. But Honus Wagner? Now you are talking actual royalty.
Wagner, who was known as "The Flying Dutchman," goes back to the game's early days. He broke into the National League in 1897 with the old Louisville Colonels, a club that was absorbed by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1900, and played in the very first World Series, in 1903. Wagner was a great star of the dead-ball era, an athletic master at shortstop and one of the game's best hitters. He won eight batting titles and finished with a career .328 average.
Wagner was a charter member of the Hall of Fame. He was elected in the original class of 1936 with Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson. Wagner accepted his position as a role model to youth and famously demanded a trading card sponsored by a tobacco company be removed from circulation so adamantly opposed was he to tobacco usage. The few cards from that 1909 set remain the most precious pieces of memorabilia among collectors.
Years after his retirement as a player Wagner was a coach for the Pirates. Players did not wear numbers on their uniforms when he played but did by the time he coached. His No. 33 has long been retired by the Pirates.
By passing the old Dutchman, Jeter now has more hits than anyone who ever played shortstop. The only players ahead of him on the career hit list are mostly outfielders — Pete Rose (who also played first, second and third base but not shortstop), Cobb, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial (also a first baseman) and Tris Speaker.
This was not lost on the Captain, who knows his baseball history and did not have to be told who Wagner was anymore than any of the other greats he has passed.
"He's the last one on the list that ever played shortstop, so this one really hit home," Jeter said. "To have the most hits of any player at one position is pretty special."
Jeter is 83 hits behind Speaker and probably does not have enough time left (46 games) to make a run for fifth place. But being No. 6 on this list is an enormous accomplishment, not to mention appropriate. After all, 6 is the official scorers' designation for a shortstop.
2 ex-Yanks beat former mates
A couple of former Yankees combined to beat their old team Monday night at Cleveland in a 6-3 Indians victory that was a scoreless pitching duel for six innings between A.J. Burnett and the Tribe's Josh Tomlin.
The key hits in Cleveland's four-run seventh inning were an RBI single by Shelley Duncan and a three-run home run by Austin Kearns.
Duncan, son of Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan, played in 68 games over the 2007, '08 and '09 seasons with the Yankees and batted .219 with 8 home runs and 24 RBI in 146 at-bats. Kearns was a mid-season acquisition by the Yankees last year and hit .235 with 2 home runs and 7 RBI in 36 games and 102 at-bats. The second of those homers came Aug. 22, and was the last one he hit before Monday night.
An irony is that neither Duncan nor Kearns might have batted that inning had Alex Rodriguez or Brett Gardner been able to catch a foul ball near the left field line by Lonnie Chisenhill. There were two outs and a runner on second base with Burnett holding a 2-0 lead when Chisenhill hit the foul ball.
A-Rod, running with his back to the infield, seemed to have a beat on the ball, so Gardner sort of backed off, but the ball fell free. Chisenhill eventually walked, Burnett's second base on balls of the inning. That brought up Duncan, who won a seven-pitch at-bat with a flare single to right that made the score 2-1. Burnett lost the lead when he grooved a 1-0 fastball to Kearns, who crushed the pitch and drove it through the wind blowing in from right field at Progressive Field.
It marked the second straight game when a fielding miscue factored in a Yankees loss. An error by shortstop Ramiro Pena proved costly in the Yankees' 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Mets Sunday at Citi Field.
Curtis Granderson made it a one-run game in the eighth with his 23rd home run, but Corey Wade gave up his first runs as a Yankee in eight games in the bottom half when he gave up a single to Travis Hafner and a home run to Carlos Santana.
It was a whole different game over the first six innings. Tomlin, who improved his record to 10-4, had a no-hitter through six that was broken up by Mark Teixeira's leadoff single in the seventh. Nick Swisher followed a one-out, infield single by Robinson Cano with a double to left-center for two runs. The Yankees failed to get Swisher home as Jorge Posada and Russell Martin both grounded out.
Burnett entered the seventh working on a two-hit shutout with both hits by All Star Game-bound shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera. A.J. seemed more upset after the game about the two walks in the seventh rather than the two hits. He was right, too. Those hits became productive for the Indians because of the walks.
It was a disappointing return for Derek Jeter, who was hitless in four at-bats and remains at 2,994 for his career.
Jeter tested immediately
It didn't take Derek Jeter very long Monday to test his right calf in his first game back since he strained it June 13 and wound up on the disabled list. Returning to his familiar leadoff spot for the Yankees, Jeter had to run hard right away as he sped to first base after hitting a dribbler near the third base line.
Jeter made it down the first base line without difficulty and reached base, although he did not reduce the number he needs to get to 3,000. His career figure remained at 2,994 because Cleveland third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall was correctly charged with an error for bobbling the ball.
There had been some speculation that Yankees manager Joe Girardi might keep Brett Gardner in the leadoff spot against right-handed pitching and bat Jeter second, which he did earlier this year in an experiment that was eventually abandoned. Gardner had alternated with Nick Swisher as a leadoff hitter in Jeter's absence.
The Indians started a righthander, Josh Tomlin, but Girardi had Jeter leading off and Gardner batting ninth. The early-season experiment was done before Curtis Granderson had gotten off to his big start. To have batted Gardner first and Jeter second Monday night would have meant that Granderson would have had to bat lower in the order, which doesn't make sense now that he has locked himself in as the Yanks' 2-hole hitter.

A post-treatment survey of intestinal helminth infection was conducted in three villages on Sumbawa Island, Indonesia in August 1997. A total of 199 subjects, who were given a dose of albendazole in December 1996 and / or January 1997, took part in this study by submitting fecal samples. The overall prevalence of infection was 31%, with no significant differences between males (32%) and females (30%), or between children (30%) and adults (over 15 years) (32%). The highest prevalence was seen in Utan village (42%) followed by Labanka village (39%) and Penyaring village (16%). Trichuris trichiura was the most common parasite detected, followed by hookworm, Ascaris lumbricoides and others. The mixed infection rate was very low (5%), as was the infection intensity.

Attempts to evaluate the mutagenecity of twelve commercial and seven home-made pyroligneous acid (PA) products employing the umu test were unsuccessful because of the presence of anti-bacterial components in the products, which inhibited the growth of S. typhimurium, the bacteria used for the test. When the assay was conducted with diluted solutions of three selected products in the range 1∼106 ppm, positive reactions were obtained in the presence of metabolic activator S-9 Mix, although the A630 values obtained were too low to confirm their mutagenecity. However, when several PA products were subjected to the umu test after removal of the anti-bacterial components on Sep-pak tC18 column, they all showed a positive reaction for mutagenecity. The simple clean-up method employed in the present study appears useful for evaluations of mutagenecity of samples such as PA products that consist of multiple components.

Adult population sizes of ground beetles (Carabidae) in a forest and vegetable field in Nagano Prefecture, Japan were estimated using the removal method. Removal collections using 15 pitfall traps with a lactic acid beverage were conducted at 40-m2 survey sites enclosed by a thick plastic sheet for 10 days in September 2002 in the forest site and October 2003 in the field site. Dominant species were Synuchus cycloderus, Pterostichus subovatus and S. nitidus in the forest, and Harpalus griseus, H. sinicus and Amara simplicidens in the field. Population sizes within the 40-m2 sites and the density (/m2) of total carabid beetles and dominant species were estimated by the regression and maximum likelihood methods. A total of 250 and 176 carabid beetles were caught in the forest and field sites, and estimates by the regression method were 254 and 180 individuals, respectively. Estimates of dominant species and total carabid beetles by the maximum likelihood method were almost equal to those obtained by the regression method. The observed numbers caught from 10 trappings were almost the same as the estimated values. The correlation coefficients between the number of individuals captured during the ith trapping and the total number captured prior to the ith trapping were less than -0.9, and the precision level of the estimations was less than 0.12. The prerequisite for the removal method and appropriate number of trappings required for estimating carabid population size were discussed in relation to the precision level of the estimations.

Females of the pea blue butterfly Lampides boeticus fly to the young flower buds of the yam bean plants Pachyrrhizus erosus and the lablab bean plants Dolichos lablab, and equally lay eggs on them. No damage to the yam bean induced by the butterfly larvae was observed. But the larvae gave serious damage to the lablab bean growing up in the vicinity of the yam bean. Distinct difference of damages between both plants seemed to be caused by the defense mechanism of the yam bean plants using natural toxins. Possible defense principles were isolated and identified as four rotenoids cis-12a-hydroxymunduserone, cis-12a-hydroxyerosone, cis-12a-hydroxyrotenone and rotenone from flower buds, seeds and leaves of the yam bean on the base of the larvicidal toxicity toward the common armyworm Mythimna separata. The activity of each principle was quantitatively evaluated. In addition, the relationships between herbivores and the presence of principles were discussed.

The infestation of houses by Incisitermes minor (Hagen) was surveyed in Kansai and Hokuriku areas (9 prefectures) by means of a postal questionnaire sent to termite control companies. Of the 96 companies that responded, 31 of them, located among Hyogo, Osaka, Wakayama, Toyama, and Fukui Prefectures, reported finding I. minor attacks in houses they had inspected. Approximately 83% of the infested houses were wooden post and beams constructions. Worker (nymph) castes were the most commonly found caste in infested houses. The infestation was usually detected by fecal pellets under the infested timbers. Roofing materials such as rafters, trim, boards, beams, pillars, and lathing boards, and interior materials such as window frames, door frames, pillars, poles, and paper doors were the most susceptible parts. Spraying with insecticide was the most common countermeasure taken to combat infestation.

We observed that the larvae of coffee bean weevil Araecerus fasciculatus DeGeer (Coleoptera: Anthribidae), a cosmopolitan pest infesting various stored crops such as cottonseed, coffee bean and orange fruits, bored into dead stems of the giant ragweed Ambrosia trifida (Asteraceae) at the riverbank of the Yamato River, Osaka City, central Japan. The larvae fed on the pith of the giant ragweed, pupated and eclosed in the pith and exit from it. Judging from the size of the larvae that were found in the field and developmental period which has been reported so far, oviposition may have occurred from autumn to early winter when the giant ragweed ceased its growth. The giant ragweed may function as a breeding site for A. fasciculatus in natural setting, resulting in infestation to orange fruits and stored crops.

Butterfly communities were studied in four urban housing complexes: Satsukigaoka-danchi (Satsukigaoka), Higashitoyonaka-daiichi-danchi (Higashitoyonaka), Asahigaoka-danchi (Asahigaoka), and Kori-danchi (Kori), in northern Osaka in 1998. The numbers of species and densities (km-1) ranged from 16-25 and 14.1-24.6, respectively. The most abundant species was Pseudozizeeria maha in 3 sites, and Pieris rapae in Kori. Rebuilding of a housing complex led to the reduction of species and density. For example, densities in new building areas were 0.3-0.4 times those in old ones. This reduction is considered to be due to the loss of the grass around buildings.

Look here: Twisted Web in 60 seconds. That's a group of blog posts describing step by step how to do lots of common stuff with Twisted, all written by Jean-Paul Calderone, the biggest contributor of Twisted. It's really where you should start.
After that, look at the Twisted core documentation then refer to the API and then into the source code.
Have fun!
There's a great tutorial here - it's usually the one I send to new Twisty's :-)
Its worth remembering that Twisted programming is more of a thinking paradigm than a programming one. Also, it's worth doing away with the client server model too - in Twisted there's just one broker talking in either direction to another.
Take a look here after the above too:
Enjoy :-)
