Email interview with a mother of a returning soldier with PTSD
Military duty may be over for many veterans but what happens to them when they get home? Unfortunately, the answer is quite shocking many veterans are left on their own battling a mental disorder which they do not fully understand.
June is post traumatic stress disorder month and I will be sharing with you the story of Jeremiah Tankersley written by his mother Teila. She has given me permission to tell her story. Unfortunately, this story is repeated over and over again in America with devastating results.
What is Post traumatic stress disorder?:
The DSM 5 was released in 2013 and defined post tramatic stress disorder as an anxiety disorder triggered by exposure to "actual or threatened death, serious injury or sexual violation." The criteria for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder must result from direct direct experience with a traumatic experience, witnessing a traumatic experience, learning about a family member who experienced a traumatic experience or experiencing first hand repeated exposure to a traumatic experience. At least one of these situations must be present in order to receive the diagnosis. http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/PTSD%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf
Editorial note:
Most young men go into the military with a well deserved sense of pride; they will be serving their country at the highest level. However the effects of war on their mental health was something most young men and their families never expected. Our society is prepared to heal physical damage of war; we understand that, the evidence is before our eyes, we can see severed limbs and other injuries caused by war but we don't always see the emotional and cognitive aspects of war.
Who is Jeremiah Tankersley?
Teila Tankersley writes:
My son grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was a kindhearted, adventurous child. In his late teens he joined the army. With the lure of higher pay he signed up to become a Scout. He had no idea what he was in for.
What happened to some men who served in the military?
Teila Tankersley writes:
Colorado Springs, CO - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among servicemen and servicewomen who risk their lives for our freedom is something we hear about far too often.
It's a vicious irony that those soldiers we trust and who served their country honorably, come back tainted. The reality of war is horrific, but it is a reality that seems inevitable.
When these soldiers come back, some are more resilient than others. Some come back able to put the horrors in perspective, while others come home with a baggage of horrific nightmares that follow them preventing them from carrying on with their day to day activities. Not everyone comes back hurting and damaged, but they all come back scarred.
How was Jeremiah affected by his military experience?
The duties of a Cavalry Scout are to be the commander's eyes and ears on the battlefield. When information about the enemy is needed, they call on the Scouts. They are the tip of the spear, usually being the first to enter an area, providing forward exploration and spotting for the U.S. Army. They find and relay key information about the enemy to commanders and other leaders in the field.
There are 2 major drawbacks to being a Scout. The first one is that it is a deadly job, it is a very real fact that they might not make it home at the end of the day. The second is that when the Cavalry Scout is stateside and in between rotations to Iraq and Afghanistan, they spend a lot of time doing mundane things like working in the office and cleaning weapons. This mundane time gives them too much time for their mind to wander, wandering back to some of things that they experienced in war.
Editorial note: According to the National Institute of Health the epidemic of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is continually growing. There are approximately there are approximately 7.7 million Americans who have post traumatic stress disorder and Members of the military exposed to war/combat and other groups at high risk for trauma exposure are at risk for developing PTSD .
Among veterans returning from the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, PTSD and mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) are often linked and their symptoms may overlap. Blast waves from explosions can cause TBI, rattling the brain inside the skull.

If you or your family is struggling with PTSD, know that you are not alone. If you are in a crisis you have options: Call 911; Go to the nearest Emergency Room or Call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255

Blake Bailey became intrigued with the Zapatista movement in 1994 when reports of the Zapatista revolution pervaded the international press in 1994. Blake began an exhaustive study of the Chiapas story leading him to a road-trip across Mexico to San Cristabal de las Casas, where the dramatic take-over by the Mayan Indians was focused. This story of adventure and sacrifice of a people's revolution drove Blake to write a novel based on the continuing struggle in Mexico.
Zapatista is faithfully based on the facts of the 1994 Chiapas Indian uprising in southern Mexico. It is designed to be interesting to anyone simply wanting to read an adventure story, as well as anyone interested in the deeper drama of a people revolution. The protagonist, Peter, is a Texan who sabbaticals with friends in the Sierra-Madre for the purpose of writing, drinking, and seeking adventure. Peter gets more adventure than anticipated when a whirlwind of circumstances hurls him away from his friends into a life and death struggle for the revolutionary cause. These adventures and the love of an Indian woman, Lxil, forever change Peter's life.

The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, EZLN) is a revolutionary leftist group based in Chiapas, the southernmost state of Mexico. Since 1994, the group has been in a declared war "against the Mexican state," though this war has been primarily nonviolent and defensive against military, paramilitary, and corporate incursions into Chiapas. Their social base is mostly rural indigenous people but they have some supporters in urban areas as well as an international web of support. Their main spokesperson is Subcomandante Marcos (currently a.k.a. Delegate Zero in relation to "the Other Campaign"). Unlike other Zapatista spokespeople, Marcos is not an indigenous Mayan.The group takes its name from Emiliano Zapata, the agrarian reformer and commander of the Liberation Army of the South during the Mexican Revolution, and sees itself as his ideological heir. In reference to inspirational figures, in nearly all EZLN villages exist murals accompanying images of Zapata, Che Guevara, and Subcomandante Marcos.Although the ideology of the EZLN is reflective of libertarian socialist politics, paralleling both anarchist and libertarian Marxist thought in many respects, the EZLN has rejected and defied political classification; retaining its distinctiveness due in part to the importance of indigenous Mayan beliefs in Zapatismo thought. The EZLN aligns itself with the wider alter-globalization, anti-neoliberal social movement, seeking indigenous control over their local resources, especially land. Since their 1994 uprising was countered by the superior military might of the Mexican army, the EZLN has abstained from offensively using their weapons and adopted a new strategy that attempts to garner both Mexican and international support. Through an internet campaign, the EZLN has begun to disseminate an understanding of their plight and intentions. With this change in tactics, the EZLN has received greater support from a variety of NGOs and organizations as well as increased attention in both leftist and mainstream media outlets. The EZLN has also entered popular culture thanks in part to the support it has received from bands such as Rage Against the Machine, 47 Ronin, Garotos Podres, Leftöver Crack, Brujeria, Anti-Flag, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, Manu Chao, Sun Rise Above, Maná, Active Member, and Tijuana No!.
HistoryThe Zapatistas went public on January 1, 1994, the day when the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) came into effect. On that day, they issued their First Declaration from the Lacandon Jungle and their Revolutionary Laws. The declaration amounted to a declaration of war on the Mexican government, which they considered so out of touch with the will of the people as to make it completely illegitimate. A masked Zapatista playing a three string Mexican bass guitar.Their initial goal was to instigate a revolution in all of Mexico, but as this did not happen, they used their uprising as a platform to call the world's attention to their movement to protest the signing of NAFTA, which the EZLN believed would increase the gap between rich and poor people in Chiapas. The EZLN also called for greater democratization of the Mexican government which had been controlled by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) for 65 years and for land reform mandated by the 1917 Constitution of Mexico but largely ignored by the PRI. The EZLN did not demand independence from Mexico, but rather autonomy, and (among other things) that the natural resources that are extracted from Chiapas benefit more directly the people of Chiapas.On the morning of January 1, 1994, an estimated 3,000 armed Zapatista insurgents seized towns and cities in Chiapas, including Ocosingo, Las Margaritas, Huixtan, Oxchuc, Rancho Nuevo, Altamirano, and Chanal. They freed the prisoners in the jail of San Cristóbal de las Casas, and set fire to several police buildings and military barracks in the area. The guerrillas enjoyed brief success, but the next day Mexican army forces counter-attacked and fierce fighting broke out in and around the market of Ocosingo. The Zapatista forces took heavy casualties, and retreated from the city into the surrounding jungle.Armed clashes in Chiapas ended on January 12, 1994, with a ceasefire brokered by the Catholic diocese in San Cristóbal de las Casas under Bishop Samuel Ruiz, a well known liberation theologian. Some of the land taken over by the Zapatistas in 1994 was retained, but the territory they held militarily for a little more than a year was overrun by the Mexican army in a surprise ceasefire breach in February 1995. The Zapatista villages were mostly abandoned following the offensive, and the rebels fled into the mountains after breaking out of the Mexican army perimeter.
IdeologyThe ideology of the Zapatista movement, Zapatismo, synthesizes traditional Mayan practices with elements of libertarian socialism, anarchism, and Marxism.The historical influence of Mexican Anarchists and various Latin-American Socialists is apparent on Zapatismo; with the positions of Subcomandante Marcos also adding a distinct Marxist element to the movement. A Zapatista slogan is in harmony with the concept of mutual aid: "For everyone, everything, for us, nothing" (Para todos todo, para nosotros nada). The EZLN opposes economic globalization, arguing that it severely and negatively affects the peasant way of life of its indigenous support base and oppressed people worldwide. An example of neo-liberal policy that the EZLN opposes is the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Apart from opening the Mexican market to cheap mass-produced US agricultural products, NAFTA spells an end to Mexican crop subsidies without a corresponding end to US ones, and drastically reduced the income and living standards of many southern Mexican farmers who cannot compete with the subsidized, artificially fertilized, mechanically harvested and genetically modified imports from the United States. The signing of NAFTA also resulted in the removal of Article 27 Section VII in the Mexican Constitution which previously had guaranteed land reparations to indigenous groups throughout Mexico.Another key element of the Zapatista ideology is their aspiration to do politics in a new, participatory way, from the "bottom-up" instead of "top-down." The Zapatistas consider the contemporary political system of Mexico inherently flawed due to what they consider its purely representative nature and obvious disconnection from the people and their needs. Instead, the EZLN claims to reinforce the idea of participatory democracy or radical democracy by limiting public servants' terms to only two weeks, not using visible organization leaders, and constantly referring to the people they are governing for major decisions, strategies and conceptual visions. As Marcos has reiterated, "my real commander is the people". In accordance with this principle, the Zapatistas are not a political party: they do not seek office throughout the state, because that would perpetuate the political system by attempting to gain power within its ranks. Instead, they wish to reconceptualize the entire system.In an unusual move for any revolutionary organization, documents released by the EZLN (in Spanish) before the initial uprising in 1994 explicitly defined a right of the people to resist any unjust actions of the EZLN. They also defined a right of the people to demand that the revolutionary armed forces not intervene in matters of civil order or the disposition of capital relating to agriculture, commerce, finances, and industry, as these are the exclusive domain of the civil authorities, elected freely and democratically. It added that the people should "acquire and possess arms to defend their persons, families and property, according to the laws of disposition of capital of farms, commerce, finance and industry, against the armed attacks committed by the revolutionary forces or those of the government."

Nvidia launches double-precision Tesla K20 series accelerators
Powers Titan to top of Top 500 list
CHIP DESIGNER Nvidia has launched its Tesla K20X GPGPU accelerator card aimed at double-precision floating point scientific workloads.
Nvidia had already announced that its Tesla K20 series would be used in what was forecast to be the most powerful high performance computing (HPC) cluster, Titan, a few weeks ago. Now the firm has revealed the launch its Tesla K20X double-precision floating point GPGPU accelerator card and confirmed that the Cray XK7 Titan cluster at the US Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which boasts 18,688 Tesla K20X GPGPU cards, has taken top spot on the prestigious Top 500 HPC list.
While Nvidia's Kepler architecture made its first showing in the HPC market with the single-precision Tesla K10, the firm waited over six months before bringing out the big guns. The firm's Tesla K20X card delivers 1.31 TeraFLOPS of peak double-precision floating point computing power and 3.95 TeraFLOPS of peak single-precision floating point computing performance, and is supported by 6GB of onboard memory with a bandwidth of 250GB/s.
Nvidia also announced the Tesla K20, a marginally cut-down version of the Tesla K20X that boasts peak single-precision floating point computing power of 3.52 TeraFLOPS and 1.17 TeraFLOPS for double-precision floating point. The firm cut back memory capacity to 5GB and memory bandwidth to 208GB/s on the Tesla K20 compared to its top-end Tesla K20X.
Nvidia also took the opportunity to take a few pops at Intel's latest Xeon Phi accelerator by claiming that there is limited support in terms of libraries. However, in what might be the pot calling the kettle black, Nvidia pointed out that Intel has proprietory directives and language extensions, two things found on Nvidia's CUDA, though the firm now supports OpenCL on its GPGPU accelerator cards.
While Cray and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory got their hands on Nvidia's Tesla K20X parts months ago, the firm said that the Tesla K20 and Tesla K20X GPGPU accelerator cards are now available for general order from a number of server vendors including Asus, HP, IBM, SGI, Supermicro and Tyan. µ

STANFORD, Calif. - It doesn't take Andrew Luck to beat USC. That was the truth that Stanford revealed in its 21-14 comeback victory over the No. 2 Trojans in a Pac-12 football opener on Saturday night at Stanford Stadium.
How did this happen? A relentless defense, stunning running by Stepfan Taylor, and timely plays by quarterback Josh Nunes, including a 37-yard go-ahead touchdown pass to Zach Ertz with 10:20 left in the game.
Safe to say, Stanford (3-0, 1-0) is back on the map as one of college football's elite, its AP No. 21 ranking is undoubtedly about to drop. The evidence comes from a performance that showcased talent far beyond Luck, its graduated superstar quarterback and the player that defined Stanford's back-to-back BCS bowl seasons and Top 10 finishes.
All of it inspired many of the sellout crowd of 50,360 to storm the field, content not to ponder questions of `How?' but simply to enjoy the results.
"We didn't go into this game thinking we had something to prove," said David Shaw, Stanford's Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football. "That would be a distraction. We just played our game."
Think of it? Stanford has beaten the Trojans four consecutive years. For longtime Stanford fans, that streak seems unfathomable. In fact, it's never happened before.
But during the action, a more appropriate question seemed to be: `Is this possible?' The Cardinal trailed 14-7 in the third quarter and seemed to be out of ideas. Nunes had thrown two interceptions and was largely ineffective downfield.
Other than a spectacular 59-yard first-quarter rushing touchdown by Taylor, the ground game had bogged down too.
But the defense kept the Cardinal in the game. Again and again, when it appeared as if the Trojans were one score from breaking the game open, the defense made the plays that counted. Following Stanford's go-ahead score, USC had the ball twice but failed to score and combined for only two first downs.
USC receiver Robert Woods, for example, in the past two years had torched the Cardinal for a combined 21 catches for 313 yards and four touchdowns. On Saturday, he had four catches for 38 yards.
And USC's rushing yards? Remember, this is Tailback U. Twenty-six yards. Total.
It was the sixth consecutive time Stanford has held opponents under 100 yards rushing.
Stanford sacked Heisman Trophy candidate Matt Barkley four times by four different players - the Trojans were sacked only eight times all last season. The Cardinal also had five other tackles for loss.
Barkley was pressured constantly, and his receivers were covered effectively. The result was a decent 20-for-41 night for Barkley for 254 yards, but he did not have a touchdown pass and threw two interceptions - one by Jordan Richards and another by Terrence Brown during a crazy swing of three interceptions on consecutive plays by both teams. It was the first time in 16 games that Barkley had no touchdown passes.
Barkley will finish his stellar collegiate career without a victory over Stanford, the only Pac-12 team that can claim such mastery over the player regarded as the Heisman Trophy frontrunner. Barkley is 17-6 against all other Pac-12 teams.
Indeed, the Cardinal defense was masterly in the second half, limiting the Trojans to 91 yards in total offense and five first downs. One on crucial third-quarter play with the Trojans holding a seven-point lead, USC (2-1, 0-1) went for it on a fourth-and-2 from the Stanford 13. But Barkley's pass to the hands of Soma Vainuku in the end zone was broken up by Ronnie Harris.
Barkley was sacked twice on the final drive and threw out of bounds on a final, desperate heave on fourth-and-39 from USC's 25-yard line.
"We've got a talented bunch," linebacker Shayne Skov said. "When we play together like that, it's so special."
Stanford scored on its next series to tie the game, on the second of Taylor's see-it-to-believe-it touchdowns - a 23-yard pass from Nunes during which Taylor evaded a series of four tacklers and dragged another into the end zone.
His first score may have been even more impressive: a weaving 59-yarder that immediately answered an early USC score. Taylor picked his hole, followed fullback Ryan Hewitt's block, then cut right behind a seal by tight end Levine Toilolo that took out two defenders. After making one more Trojan miss, Taylor was sprung by a downfield block by receiver Drew Terrell, and outran the defense the rest of the way.
He carried 27 times for 153 yards - tied the second-highest total of his career. Taylor also caught five passes for 60 yards, and his 213 yards of total offense were 51 percent of Stanford's 417.
"He's really the rock of the team," Nunes said. "He's very special runner and leader. He leads by example every day."
Nunes struggled through a first half in which he completed only 6 of 17 passes for 78 yards, with two interceptions. But in the second, he turned it around, completing 9 of 15 passes 137 yards and two scores, with no interceptions. His totals: 15 of 32 for 215 yards.
"The difference in the game was the defense," Nunes said. "They did it all night."
But the missing link was Nunes. As well as the defense played, it grew increasingly evident that it would take big plays from the redshirt junior Nunes, in his third career start, to make the difference between victory and defeat.
Nunes made them indeed - one with a fourth-quarter scramble on third-and-10 that gained 12. He looked to be pinned by three defenders short of the first down, but found a way to sidestep them for first-down yardage. Two plays later, Nunes hit Ertz -- who was split wide left against man coverage -- down the seam in stride. Ertz cut right to bypass two defenders and got a block from tight end Luke Kaumatule before diving into the end zone.
"It's a great win," Taylor said. "One we were prepared for."
Clearly. But for Stanford to complete its national re-emergence, more will need to come.
"We can't think this win is more special," Shaw said. "This was just a win against a good football team. But if we can give our best effort, we can beat anybody."

Juice Feast
Friday, April 19, 2013
Okay so I decided after wanting to this 3 years ago, I am going to attempt doing at least a 30 day Juice Feast. I tried to start yesterday, but was having a hard time sleeping, so ended having a lean cuisine at night...today is Day 1 of Week and at this point I will make it through the day and not feeling hungry either right now....Here is the plan
Although it won't be 100% juice feast, I am okay with it as I need to have a couple of teaspoons of Plain Greek yogurt to take my vitamins in the morning; if I don;t do so, I will end up having an upset stomach all day as I have learned that from experience
First thing in the morning, I will have a large some of water as I know I need to incorporate that in my plan as well. Shortly afterI will have a large glass of green juice (or called Green Lemonade)
After about 2 hours, I will take the vitamins with the yogurt.
Mid morning I will have a smaller glass of my citrus fruit juice...have to keep it in smaller proportion due to the sugar content of the fruits. I will need to have another large amount of water again
Lunch, I will have another large glass vegetable juice which I try to get as close to V-8 as possible, but never seem to get it to taste like the store bought juice probably due to no sodium. Someone suggested putting in a bit of garlic so I will try that tomorrow.
Mid afternoon, I will have a smaller glass of melon juice...again due to the sugar content and also have another large amount of water to get myself back up to 64 oz a day.
Lastly for dinner, I will have another larger glass of Green juice.
I went shopping today to get everything I need for the upcoming week and hopefully it will last as I spent my weekly budgeted food allowance on everything today.
I am hoping that the first week, I can shed a quick five pounds because I need to and to help encourage me. The first few days may be tough without having solid foods, but what the heck...when I was 21 years I used to starve myself for 5 days a week...at least doing this I am getting vitamins and nutrients. IF I can do this for 30 days, I will re-evaluate to see if I want to go another 30+.
Finally, I really need to get the motivation to get back into consistent exercising.
I'll check in next week to update my progress.

I did a 92 day juice feast. All juice nothing else. Of course I started it after 90 days of being a raw organic vegan and reducing my fat intake. I had some very rough times for sure but it was worth it.
I wish you the best on this. I hope you did your homework first. It's nothing to play around with.

It's been 45 years since most of the guys have come back to the state of Michigan...they came this weekend with no fanfare...no flashbulbs, but what a reunion of what has now been determined as one of the top 25 events in NCAA history.
In 1963, our guys, the Bulldogs of Mississippi State ... the Southeastern Conference Champions, came just up the road from Detroit to East Lansing, Michigan, to play in our first ever NCAA Basketball Tournament against Loyola of Chicago.
The little guy in this year's basketball tournament, Davidson, was playing the big guy,
"Babe's Boys" joined the Loyola of Chicago team at center court at halftime while a video depicted a little of the history of this venture on all four the giant TV screens at Ford Field.
After winning four (4) SEC Championships.... 1959...1961...1962...1963, our man Dr. Dean Colvard, the 12th President of our university...a man of unbelievable vision....a man of great courage, made a stand to challenge the system and allow this championship basketball team the opportunity to play for a national championship.
Thanks to Dr. Colvard, that is what this weekend in this cold, snowy motor city was all about. A tribute to a visionary President, an outstanding coach, and two basketball teams that only wanted to play a game of basketball.
Bob Hartley and Jack Cristil have shared many stories with me through the years of the adventures to the 1963 event challenging the unwritten law in
I was only in the 11th grade at
The NCAA, the one we question from time to time, got it right here this weekend....Really Right. They honored Babe's Boys and the Loyola team (which won the national championship in '63). It started here Saturday with several events, a screening of the soon to be released documentary film "Game of Change" about the events of Mississippi State playing in its first ever NCAA basketball tournament followed by a reception honoring both university's. It continued on Sunday with a bunch honoring both teams and the stories just keep getting better.
What a thrill sitting here at courtside as the NCAA Basketball Committee recognized our guys while the video told a short piece of the history of the events of 1963.
One by one, our guys, "Babe's Boys" were given an individual introduction. Howard Hemphill, J. D. Gammill, Jimmy Wise, Bobby Shows, Aubrey Nichols, Don Posey, Jackie Wofford, Doug Hutton, Larry Lee, Stan Brinker, and Captain Joe Dan Gold were introduced following by the introduction of nine of the Loyola former players.
As this crowd began to understand the significance of this historic event, the applause grew louder and louder then all 57,000 were standing recognizing these two teams that not only played a basketball game but changed the game of NCAA basketball.
An even larger touch of class occurred when the PA announcer ask the crowd to share a moment of silence in memory of our W. D. "Red" Stroud, the former Bulldog All-American guard, who passed away this past week in his hometown of Lake.
There were several occasions during the weekend when thoughts of former teammate Leland Mitchell were discussed. Leland was seriously injured several years ago and until to participate.
Mike Nemeth, Bennie Ashford and I were honored to represent our university at the events of this weekend. But, as special as it was being with "Babe's Boys", the NCAA also invited former first-lady Martha Colvard and her entire family to participate in all the activities.
Even though she is 94 years young, she is active and sharp as ever asking me throughout the weekend about former professors and colleagues she remembered from her days on campus. It was a joy to share with her and the children the total make-over of the Colvard Union and sparkling new atmosphere in the center of campus.
It was really interesting to watch the Loyola players visit with her and speak so highly of Dr. Colvard after they now understand a lot of the history and courage it took for our team to even play that game. She was simply beautiful around our players sharing some stories to our guys about how much Dr. Colvard admired this basketball team and the manner in which that handled such an historic event.
The NCAA also included as their guest for the weekend, Dr. Richard Holmes, the first African-American student in our university and former coach Richard Williams, who took the 1996 Bulldog basketball team to the Final Four in
The film, "Game of Change" should be released in the next several months. The documentary was produced and directed by Jerald Harkness, the son of former Loyola great Jerry Harkness. When the concept of this film was being discussed, Jerry Harkness, one of four black players on the Loyola team, convinced his son to do a film on the
In conversations with the NCAA, there are still some changes to be made in the 52-minute film before it is released. I just hope that they some of the remarks made during this weekend by players from both teams can be added to the documentary. It was goose bump stuff.
This weekend is a memory of a life-time. A time to be with my and your hero's who are now being deservingly recognized as trail blazers of what this NCAA Basketball Tournament has turned into.

Alicia Goranson Movies and Career Information
Jun 22, 1974
Alicia Linda Goranson (born June 22, 1974; Evanston, Illinois), better known as Lecy Goranson, is an American actress. At age 14, she was cast in the role of Becky Conner in the television sitcom Roseanne, which debuted to great success in 1988. Goranson exited the series in 1992 (the start of the show's fifth season) to pursue an education at Vassar College, though her schedule eventually permitted her to continue appearing part-time as Becky. Under the new arrangement, the show's producers and writers had to take care to write scenes for Becky sparingly. Goranson's exit resulted in Becky's eloping with her husband, Mark Healy, who was played by Glenn Quinn. Becky would be seen via the phone briefly on some occasions as she lived out of state. In the next season, although not at the beginning, the producers decided to bring the character back. Goranson was still unavailable, so Sarah Chalke was brought into the role. When the show reached its eighth season, Goranson managed to schedule things so that she could work as Becky, replacing Chalke. Goranson appeared continuously at the beginning but mid-season it became a problem. On two occasions, Goranson had to pull out of episodes

A family dog is now dead, shot during dogfighting raid in Western New York, The Buffalo News reported April 25.
Sadly the dog killed by Buffalo police was a 13-year-old boxer who lived at 269 Lorina, His name was Ace.
Resident Diedra Patters stated Ace was a companion to her 16-year-old niece, who suffers from medical issues. The two have been inseparable since the girl was a child.
Diedra's niece is an orphan, and now she's worried Ace's death will further deteriorate her niece's health.
Diedra also alleges police had the wrong address, and that her home should never have been raided. She has a few choice words for those responsible for Ace's death.
"At the end of the day, God sees and knows all. He rights all wrongs."
A total of 21 dogs were seized from more than half a dozen addresses on the East Side and University District of Buffalo, as well as on Grand Island.
The Erie County SPCA is now in charge of their care after they and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals assisted police. SWAT officers from the Town of Tonawanda and the Erie County Sheriff's Office also assisted Buffalo police with the raid.
Many of the dogs had visible scars from being fought. Buffalo Police explained dogfighting is big business in Buffalo, and this bust may be part of the largest dogfighting ring in Buffalo.
Resident raided included
*200 block of Wood Avenue,
*300 block of Humboldt Parkway,
*100 block of Hewitt Avenue,
*200 block of Forest Avenue
*100 block of Ontario Street
*3000 block of Grand Island Boulevard
*2 other addresses
Friday's roundup followed reconvention of the city's Anti-Dogfightng Task Force in March 2014
The investigation started after Ginja, a young pit bull, was stolen from the city animal shelter on Oak Street.
Buffalo police insist the Patterson home wasn't targeted by mistake. The Patterson house was "profiled" because it looked like all of the other houses in the area that were considered 'dens of crime and violence.'
Police seized a total of six dogs from the back yard of the home where Ace was shot. According to police, those dogs also showed scars typical of dogfighting.
This is breaking news, and no word has come in that an investigation will be held into Ace's death, or whether he'll be yet another statistic of dogs shot because police were at the wrong address.
This case is similar to three family dogs belonging to Hell's Angels being shot and killed by police. Several members of the motorcycle group split a near million dollar settlement.
This Examiner article tells of how police, and others responsible, were charged with negligence. The argument was that since the police had been planning the drug raid for over a week, non-lethal methods of dealing with dogs should have been taught.
Readers, who do you believe in this case, and how would you suggest this situation could have been handled differently?

Gardening Articles: Health :: Cooking
Sweet Beets (page 3 of 3)
by Kris Wetherbee
In the Kitchen
Harvest greens whenever you wish (they are most tender when 4 to 6 inches long). Use beet greens as you would spinach and Swiss chard. When young, the tender, mild greens can be dressed with vinegar and tossed in salads or used in quick stir fries. Mature greens require slightly longer cooking and are delicious simply sauteed in garlic and olive oil and topped with shavings of Parmesan cheese.
About 50 days after sowing, the roots of most varieties are ready to harvest. For best flavor and tenderness, harvest roots when they are the size of golf balls. Young roots taste great lightly steamed, shredded and sauteed in butter, or pickled. Baking is ideal for any larger roots you missed, and beets small and large can be roasted to bring out their delicate, yet earthy flavor.
Baked Beets
Baking is one of the best ways to bring out the sweet, earthy intensity of beets. Although it's a lengthy process, the result is a rich, concentrated flavor unmatched by other cooking methods. Serve baked beets sliced in salads seasoned with walnut oil, vinegar, and grindings of salt and pepper, or topped with crumbled goat cheese and broiled for a few minutes.
4 to 6 medium beets, washed and trimmed with about 1 inch of stalk attached
Preheat oven to 400? F. Wrap beets together in foil or parchment paper. Crimp the edges to seal and place them in the upper third of the oven. Bake for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, until tender but still firm. Slip off the darkened skins and trim off the stalks before serving. Serves 4
Beets taste great, but they can be messy in the kitchen. To keep their color from bleeding, try these tips:
- Add a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to the cooking water to help stabilize the red pigment.
- Leave 1 inch of leaf stalk attached to the root.
- To remove beet stains from your hands, wash them with lemon juice.
- Grow white or gold beets instead; they won't bleed.

Among all groups $G$ of order $n$ which one will maximum the value: $\frac 1n\sum_{g \in G}O(g)$ ? (Where $o(g)$ is the order of $g$).
As quid has stated the maximum attained for $\mathbb{Z}_n$. The problem goes back to 1991. See Americam Mathematical Monthly 1991, page 970.
The maximum is attained for the cycylic group of order $n$, and only for this this group.
See Sums of element orders in finite groups Commincations in Algebra, Vol 37, 2009, which considers this problem (except for not dividing by $n$, which however changes nothing, since in the question the order of the group is fixed).

Macclesfield Town 0-4 Gateshead
A four-goal, first half blitz sent Gateshead on the way to a stunning victory at 7th top Macclesfield who had lost only once in their previous ten Conference games.
Shot-shy Gateshead had struggled for goals all season and entered the game in the bottom four after six straight defeats, one of them in the FA Trophy.
But while chances were squandered in narrow defeats against title-chasers Forest Green and Wrexham everything The Heed touched turned to gold in 45 stunning minutes at Moss Rose.
Midfield dynamo Jamie Chandler lit the blue touch paper with just 97 seconds on the clock when he arrived in the box to sweep home Peter Bore's cross.
Two goals inside two minutes midway through the half then left Gateshead in dreamland and the Silkmen on the canvas.
Ryan Donaldson's pass deflected into the path of James Brown and the former Hartlepool star finally scored his first Gateshead goal with a shot across Macc keeper Lance Cronin.
The shell-shocked Silkmen were then left reeling when Josh Gillies allowed Brown's cross to reach former Magpie Donaldson.
Leaving two defenders for dead Donaldson bent the ball into the top corner, Gateshead, profligate in the past, this time clinical in front of goal.
Three goals inside the opening 20 minutes was a sensational effort from Anth Smith's side who looked anything but a side in a relegation dogfight.
Adam Bartlett saved well from Wade Fairhurst
diving to his right before Chandler made it four in first half stoppage time.
Bore's header looped into the air and when it came down the diminutive Chandler sent a stunning 25-yard volley over Cronin and into the roof of the net.
Four of Gateshead's five shots on target had found the net. and Macclesfield were unable to mount a comeback in the second half.
Heed captain Ben Clark had the chance to make it five but his header on the hour deflected off Danny O'Donnell and into the hands of Cronin.
The former England C keeper then saved from Donaldson at the second attempt while Heed debutant Ben Everson, on loan from York City, had an effort ruled out for a marginal offside.
The Silkmen rarely threatened and substitute Dean McDonald's claims for a penalty after he was sandwiched between Curtis and Magnay were ignored.
Lively substitute Jack Mackreth had an effort ruled out late on to cap a miserable night for Macclesfield who were booed off at half-time and at the final whistle.
Gateshead will now look to build on this shock result when they host title-chasing Newport County at the International Stadium on Tuesday - pitch and weather permitting.
"The lads did smashing. It was a great performance and the goals we scored were excellent," said a jubilant Smith.
"This result will have sent out a message. We've got our fitness back and look a well balanced side.
"We've set a high bar with this performance. This is the standard we expect because there is enough quality in the squad.
"We haven't had the breaks but these things even themselves out and this result has taken a bit of pressure off though we must now kick on.
"I'm delighted for the fans who came down to Cheshire. They are our 12th man and it was great to give them such an impressive win.
"We've now got to back this result up with another against Newport on Tuesday - and we are capable of doing that."

ASK IRA: Do Wade, LeBron gamble too much on defense?
Q: Ira, I'm not sure people realize how much Wade and James will push each other's games on the defensive side. Anyone who has watched them compete against each other knows they will continue attempting to one-up each other. Every spectacular block or defensive sequence by James will push Wade to match or beat it on the next defensive sequence. Just because they now play for the same team, doesn't mean we lose out on them competing to outdo the other. — Shaddy.
A: Good point. But on defense, the risk is going too much for the steal or block, at the expense of the team defensive concept. Remember, the other two perimeter players on the floor will be sub-standard defenders, which is why the team concept is so important.
Q: The Associated Press reported that the Bobcats' first option is to trade Dampier, as opposed to just letting him go. My question is: Who could be interested in trading for him? — Martin.
A: I can't see Charlotte trading Erick unless it also is to dump additional salary. Among the reasons the Bobcats acquired him was to be able to drop his non-guaranteed contract and save on payroll.
Q: Apparently the Grizzlies' owner Michael Heisley is a crazy person. Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez are the only first-rounds picks who have not signed their contracts. Is there some kind of deadline by when they have to sign the contract or be released? — David.
A: No, the Grizzlies can allow the situation to play out all season. As for a Heat angle, the Heat would not appear to have the trade chips, should Memphis consider such a trade option.
Q: Ira, knowing Pat Riley's history, when will he be returning to the bench? — Chris.
A: OK, OK, so we now know that this will become this season's Michael Beasley buzz-type issue. I can't see Pat coaching again. (Of course, I also couldn't see LeBron signing here.)
Q: If Dampier is acquired, the team should make headbands a requirement and change the name to the Miami Heatbands. Fly that one to Mickey. At least it's plural. — Jordan.
A: Actually, in James' contract, if there is a name change, it only can be to the Miami LeBrons. (He would have accepted "Kings," but apparently that already is taken.)

Young adults who fall victim to domestic violence (intimate partner violence or IPV) are more at risk of mental health issues, specifically symptoms of depression, according to a study from researchers at Bowling Green State University through a press release on March 5.
It was found young and adolescent women experienced more symptoms of depression than young and adolescent men, albeit high levels of mutual domestic violence showed the conflict had similar negative effects of both men and women.
The study's finding are derived from four interviews of self-disclosed information over a period of several years.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), teen dating violence is defined as physical, sexual, emotional/psychological aggression, as well as stalking. A national survey from the CDC in 2011 found 9.4 percent of high school students reported being physically assaulted intentionally in a relationship. The students consisted of both male and female partners.
Young victims of domestic violence may have more negative effects such as doing poorly in school, binge drinking, suicide attempts and aggression. Additionally, it is believed victims may carry the violent patterns into future relationships.

Badge, Lindbergh, King Collection
On May 20-21, 1927, Charles Lindbergh literally flew into history when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean in his Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis, thus becoming the first pilot to fly solo and nonstop from New York to Paris. This flight made Lindbergh a household name and catapulted him into fame and celebrity. The objects of popular culture in the National Collection display everything from ashtrays to wristwatches reflect the public adulation for Lindbergh and the powerful commercial response to his celebrity. More than 75 years after the Spirit's historic flight, Lindbergh's name still has the power help sell manufactured goods.
Gift of the Stanley King Family.

The Brooklyn Nets have made the first splash as the NBA deadline draws near. According to a report by ESPN on Feb. 19, the Nets have added some scoring in obtaining guard Marcus Thornton in a trade with the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans.
Although Thornton wasn't the team's first choice, as they were trying to acquire Jarrett Jack from the Cleveland Cavaliers, he does give them a scoring punch and should be a nice addition to the core players. In a statement released by the team following the transaction, Nets general manager Billy King said the addition of Marcus Thornton will help their backcourt.
"Marcus is a proven scorer in this league. He is a young talent who will help us in the backcourt."
Thornton was only averaging 8.3 points per game with the Kings this season but in the 2010-11 season he averaged 21.3 points per game. If the Nets can get any semblance of that, the team could make some noise in the playoffs.
In return for Thornton, the Kings get veteran guard Jason Terry who is nearing the end of his career and the 6-foot-8 forward Evans, known primarily for his rebounding.
Sources say the Nets aren't done dealing and that they are also looking to add Jordan Hill from the Los Angeles Lakers. Hill would add size to the Nets frontcourt with the absence of injured center Brook Lopez.

FMC (NYSE: FMC) is a diversified chemical company serving agricultural, industrial and consumer markets globally with innovative solutions, applications and quality products.
Website: http://www.fmc.com/
Not to be confused with FMC Technologies (ticker FTI), a machinery manufacturer, which was spun off from FMC in 2001. That included the namesake Food Machinery Corporation operation.
Company Description
Lithium Corporation of America, the largest US producer of lithium, is a subsidiary.
Products include soda ash and hydrogen peroxide, and derivatives such as peracetic acid and sodium perborate. In 2014, FMC announced the sale of its peroxygen business to One Equity Partners, a global private investment arm of JP Morgan/Chase. The business will operate as PeroxyChem. It joins other One Equity chemical ventures including Columbian Chemicals, SudChemie, OCI, Chemlogics, Sonneborn and LBC Tank Terminals.
In 2014, FMC announced plans to spin off the lithium and soda ash businesses as a separate company leaving FMC as primarily an agricultural chemicals company. Later the plan was revised to include acquisition of Danish chemical company Cheminova, sell the soda ash business and keep lithium. In 2015, the soda ash business was sold to Tronox.
A contract clause with Argentina prevents change of control of the lithium business.

This "hair plucking mania" is a condition in which hair loss is caused by the individual's obsessive/compulsive plucking of his/her own hair. In a mild form, the plucking may be a routine, semi-automatic behavior while the individual reads, watches, television, etc. In more severe obsessive/compulsive form, the plucking is consciously carried out, perhaps in front of a mirror.
The individual is likely to deny the behavior, even when evidence of plucked patches is clear. The consciously compulsive hair plucker will usually conceal plucking instruments and discard plucked hairs to avoid discovery. In contrast, piles of plucked hairs may be discovered around the semi-automatic plucker's favorite chair.
Trichotillomania is a condition requiring psychological evaluation and treatment

Hypothermia and frost bite- what do these two items have in common? Both can be hazardous to humans and dogs, only people won't lose their tails! As temperatures drop and snow fall increases, be mindful of the harm caused by extreme exposure to your pet. I'm not saying that it is futile to take Fido out for a stroll but use common sense when doing so.
Frostbite primarily affects the ears, tail, and feet of cats and dogs. Provide adequate shelter or keep your pet indoors during sub-zero temperatures. Frostbitten tissue may initially appear pale or gray, as well as hard and cold. As the area thaws, it may turn red. Thawing is very painful. If frostbite is severe, the tissue will eventually turn black and slough off. Seek veterinary advice for any of these cases.
Hypothermia is having an extremely low temperature (under 98.0F) in the body leading to complications and if left untreated, can become fatal. The first sign of hypothermia is paleness and strong shivering. This may be followed by listlessness to the point of lethargy and frostbite of certain body parts such as the tail, tips of the ears, scrotum, and paws. If left untreated, coma and heart failure may occur.
In some parts of the country, like in Alaskan sled dogs, boots are fitted to the paws to reduce exposure to the extreme temperatures. If you decide to get your dog a pair of boots to protect his/her paws, take small steps to ensure that your pooch is okay with wearing them. You may want to practice putting them on one at a time at the same time playing with their feet so they get use to the feel. Try all four boots on inside the house letting your dog get use to the feel of them on their feet without them flinging boots across your living room in a panic. Some other dogs might just "freeze" in place refusing to move when first introduced to the boot idea. Move slowly with this new idea. You want them to like the boots and enjoy going outdoors for some fun in the white fluffy stuff. Just remember to keep your pet warm, dry, and safe from frostbite this frosty season!

Remember the first Iraq war when the Iraqis were fleeing Kuwait. And on their way out, Saddam had them set fire to all the oil wells. That's what Charlie is about to do to the Republican Party.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee is calling for Charlie to drop out of the Senate race. Do it for the good of the Party. Do these people understand who they are dealing with? Charlie could no more drop out of a race than he could stop breathing. When a hand grenade lands in Charlie's foxhole, he sure isn't going to jump on it to save the Republicans around him. Charlie's loyalty to the Party is based solely on what the Party can do for him. And right now, that's not much.
Hence Charlie is finished as a Republican. The veto of SB6 was, in the words of Jeb, unforgivable. Charlie will not be able to raise money from the Party machine in future races. He will get no backing. If Charlie drops out of the Senate race, he runs his next race as an outsider without the benefit of holding a powerful office. There is no next time for him.
The Washington Republicans are right in saying Charlie has no chance in his primary battle against Rubio.
Charlie could switch back to the governor's race and take on Bill McCollum in the Republican primary. But he runs into the same issue as he does with Rubio. The party's base is done with him and would circle the wagons around McCollum. And even Charlie would have a hard time explaining this as anything but a desperation move to cling to office, any office.
This leaves an independent run as his only chance.
So what does Charlie do? He hopes the Legislature sends him a bill that allows insurance rates to rise to stabilize the market. And then Charlie goes into full populist mode and vetoes it. Then Charlie calls for a special session on corruption, targeting Republican abuse of party funds. This puts Republican legislative leaders in the very awkward position of letting Charlie grandstand at their expense or rejecting the session.
So Charlie goes into full populist mode, running as an independent with a pro-gun, pro-teacher, anti-insurance, anti-corruption campaign. That is a package that sells in Florida. Crist argues he left the Party because the Party of Reagan grew enamored of the perks of power and lost touch with the people. It became the Party of special interests and entitlements. This damages Bill McCollum and other Republicans running for office as the Dems point to Charlie as evidence that Republicans have become corrupt from too many years in control.
But Charlie doesn't care about that. He knows that in the U.S. Senate, the bottom line is the vote count. And so if Charlie wins, the Republicans up there will take him back in the fold, as the Dems did Joe Lieberman.
I've been predicting what Charlie will do for years now, and haven't missed yet. It's easy. You just calculate what path presents him with the best opportunity to win the next election. And don't take anything else into account.

Initially called one of the biggest risks of the summer, "Edge of Tomorrow" did surprisingly well at the box office during its first weekend. The film, which stars Tom Cruise ("Mission Impossible") and Emily Blunt ("The Devil Wears Prada"), tells the story of a soldier in a futuristic battle tasked with reliving the same day over and over again. To mimic the story of the time loop found in the film, the studio decided to open the film in a handful of cities and follow a schedule that loops around the world as it opens in other cities.
First Release
"Edge of Tomorrow" opened in three cities on May 28, 2014: Paris, New York City and London. The studio also premiered the film in Indonesia, Germany, Spain and other countries where soccer is popular to get film goers into the theaters before the start of the FIFA World Cup. Insiders reported that the studio wanted to bring attention to the film and that using this unique schedule would encourage people to talk about the film and increase the buzz about it.
Box Office Results
The film played on nearly 5,000 screens in more than 20 locations around the world in its opening weekend. Both Blunt and Cruise appeared in several cities to promote the film and talk about their roles. Reports indicate that "Edge of Tomorrow" grossed approximately $20 million in three days, which included just over $3 million from the United Kingdom.
Later Openings
On June 5, "Edge of Tomorrow" made its debut in Russia and Australia, and it opened all across the United States on June 6, 2014. Despite its low opening in foreign territories, many believe that the film will have higher box office results in North America. The studio deliberately opened the film one week after the fairy tale action film "Maleficent," which stars Angelina Jolie as the "Sleeping Beauty" villain. "Maleficent" earned a reported $70 million in the United States on its opening weekend and an additional $100 million overseas.
Competition from Other Films
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is the main competition for "Edge of Tomorrow." It grossed more than $90 million in its opening weekend and made more than $500 million around the world after a few weeks at the box office. Cruise's new film also faces competition from "Godzilla," which made more than $370 million overseas and in the United States. Releasing the film at different times throughout the world lets the new Cruise film avoid competition from those films and encourage sci-fi and action lovers to head back to the theater after seeing those previous films.
Critical Response
Cruise's last venture into sci-fi was the 2013 film "Oblivion," which didn't do as well at the box office as the studio hoped and received some poor reviews. Based on reviews from critics, the film earned an overall rating of more than 7.0 on a 10 point scale, which makes the film one of Cruise's highest rated films. Reviews praised everything from the plot and acting to the CGI and backgrounds, and many reviewers highlighted Cruise and Blunt for the chemistry they shared on-screen and for their acting.
Film Budget
Warner Brothers spent an estimated $178 million on "Edge of Tomorrow" and spent an additional $100 million on marketing the film. Early on, experts predicted that the film would make $30 million in its opening weekend, but the film made slightly less than that at the box office. Though less than what some predicted, that figure is impressive given that the film didn't open in many major markets. It's likely that the film will see its box office results increase when it lands in the United States and other markets.
Those behind "Edge of Tomorrow" took a chance when they decided to stagger the opening of the film. Hoping to grab fans before the FIFA World Cup and other events, the studio released it in several foreign markets first. While the film only grossed $20 million in its opening weekend, insiders believe that the film will make back its budget upon its release in North America and other markets.

We have seen absolutely spectacular weather here in the Tri-State for the past two days. In fact, it is hard to get any better weather especially in early July! Make sure you get outside and enjoy it today because summer is making a big come back this week.
High pressure has brought sunshine and a dry air mass to our region for the July 4th holiday. However that same high pressure will move to the east on Sunday and clockwise winds around it will mean a southwesterly flow setting up for Cincinnati. This will lead to a gradual increase in the humidity throughout the day. When the dew point goes above 60, you start to feel that moisture in the air. The dew point will rise from the lower 50s in the morning to nearly 60 by the evening hours on Sunday. Other than that, expect another very nice day. We will see plenty of sunshine and highs in the middle 80s.
Summer is back in full force to start the next work week. Highs will push nearly 90 degrees on Monday and you will really feel the increase in humidity as the dew point pushes 70 degrees. With the heat and deep moisture returning, thunderstorms will become a possibility again. A weak boundary may spark a few thunderstorms in the morning, but the highest chances will be during the afternoon and evening hours. A few of the storms may become strong and produce gusty winds, small hail, and torrential rainfall.
A stronger disturbance will ride the frontal boundary nearby on Tuesday bringing and even better chance for storms.
Slightly less humid air may make an intrusion back into our neck of the woods briefly for the middle of the week but early indications are that next weekend will feature summer turned up to full blast once again.

Hepatitis B Recommendations and Algorithm for Primary Care Providers
The Hepatitis B Foundation published a clinical flowchart with key recommendations to help improve hepatitis B screening, vaccination, and management in the primary care setting. This is the result of an expert panel convened by the Hepatitis B Foundation that included physicians from family medicine, general internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics/gynecology, as well as a nurse practitioner and a physician assistant. Read the full article Chronic hepatitis B infection: A workshop consensus statement and algorithm that was published in the Journal of Family Practice (Sept. 2011;60:E1-E8).
Screen for HBV
- Screen all patients who are at increased risk of contracting HBV, especially those from HBV-endemic regions of the world, by testing for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody (HBsAg and anti-HBs).
- Screening for HBV is simple, relatively inexpensive, and can dramatically change clinical outcomes related to hepatitis B disease.
- Vaccinate all infants, children, and adolescents following guidelines outlined by the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics, as well as adult patients whose screening results are negative for both HBsAg and anti-HBs.
Evaluate and Monitor
- Patients who are HBsAg-positive are infected with HBV and, while they may appear asymptomatic, they require further evaluation and periodic, life-long monitoring for disease progression.
Consult with a Liver Specialist
- Elevated ALT and HBV DNA >2,000 IU/mL in patients with chronic HBV infection are suggestive of active liver disease.
- Primary care providers should promptly consult with a specialist or a provider who has experience treating patients with active hepatitis.
- A primary care practitioner could then choose to refer these patients to the specialist for continuing care and monitoring, or may prefer to become educated in the management of HBsAg-positive patients.
Screen for HCC
- In persons with chronic HBV who are at increased risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), perform periodic screening for HCC according to current AASLD guidelines.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa women's tennis team fell 6-1 to No. 32 Indiana today at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex.
"Indiana is a strong team playing with a lot of confidence," said head coach Katie Dougherty. "They're coming off a big win over Michigan last week and are playing very good tennis. We competed much better than we did last weekend in both singles and doubles. Our effort is there. We're just playing very good teams and at some spots not playing our best tennis. We're looking forward to another tough match on Sunday with a top 20 Purdue team."
Freshman Caitlin Hindmarsh recorded the Hawkeyes lone singles point with a 6-4, 6-4, victory over Shannon Murdy. Hindmarsh's straight-set victory improves her season record to 11-3.
Indiana secured the doubles point with wins at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. No. 34 Ruth Seaborne and Morven McCulloch topped Carolyn Chupa and Leslie Hureau, 8-4, at the No. 1 position to improve their record to 13-3. The Hawkeyes return to action on Sunday when they host No. 19 Purdue at 11 a.m. (CT) in their PINK match.

Exciting and unexpected news for TV fans in Fresno today as NBC's has announced, as reported by such sourced as Variety, that the network will be reviving the hit series Heroes by ordering 13 episodes of an event miniseries to air next year, helmed by series creator Tim Kring.
NBC teased the plan to revive the franchise with a promo spot that aired during Saturday's telecast of Olympics coverage. The spot only featured a fade-in on the Heroes logo with the word "Reborn" added along with "Coming 2015."
This is confirmation of rumors that arose last year that NBC was looking to revive the mystery-fantasy drama that aired from 2006-2010. Kring is set to exec produce 13 new episodes.
Details of the storyline of the miniseries are being kept under wraps, but it's described as a stand-alone arc. A digital series will bow prior to the TV return to introduce (or perhaps re-introduce) fans to the characters that will be the focus of "Reborn."
NBC Entertainment prext Jennifer Salke said, "The enormous impact Heroes had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening. Shows with that kind of resonance don't come around often and we thought it was time for another installment. We're thrilled that visionary creator Tim Kring was as excited about jumping back into this show as we were and we look forward to all the new textures and layers Tim plans to add to his original concept. Until we get closer to air in 2015, the show will be appropriately shrouded in secrecy, but we won't rule out the possibility of some of the show's original cast members popping back in."
The original series starred Zachary Quinto, Hayden Panettiere, Jack Colman, Ali Larter, Adrian Pasdar, Milo Ventigmiglia and Greg Grunberg as a group of people who slowly realize they have extraordinary powers.
Once again, :Heroes: Reborn" is slated to air some time in 2015.

A variety of strange objects were seen in Ontario's skies on June 22, 2014.
On June 22 at approximately 6:30 p.m., a North Bay, Ontario resident spotted a "metallic sphere moving across the sky." According to a Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) report, the witness was watching seagulls in a "cloud free sky" when a "silvery metallic object" was seen "moving across the sky in a northwesterly direction."
The witness noted that the object "maintained a steady pace and altitude," and also reflected the sun." The sighting lasted about 10 minutes before the object moved so far away that it could no longer be seen.
Toronto sphere
Also on June 22 at approximately 6:06 p.m., a Toronto resident saw what appeared to be a "white star-like sphere" that was soon joined by two more. According to a MUFON report, at first only a single object was seen moving slowly and "very high in the sky." Then two more appeared.
"The first moves toward the stationary two and (form) a triangle," the witness noted adding that as the two move slowly apart, the first object becomes stationary while the other two continue to move.
'Jelly fish' object
A third sighting on June 22 at about 11:45 a.m. involved what appeared to be five "jellyfish-like objects, "kite-like with tails moving." According to a UFO Info report, the witness had a sighting the previous day so was again at an apartment window scanning the skies. It was then that five objects were seen.
From a southeasterly direction, the objects appeared to be "in formation together but apart individually from each other generally in the same small area in the sky." At first, the witness thought they must be kites. However, it was noted that the objects were far too high in the sky.
Round objects Oakville
Yet again on June 22 at about 5:30 p.m., four Oakville residents spotted five (sometimes six) round objects. According to a UFO Info report, the four were sitting on a backyard patio and noticed a jet coming in from the south east. They then saw "very white round objects near the jet," which was quite high in the early evening sky.
The woman who entered the report said she wondered it they were stars but it seemed too early to view them. She then alerted her husband and friends to what she saw and they continued to watch them for about 20 minutes.
"They changed formations from a diamond to a circle to a long line," she noted adding that they moved slowly in the same general area. "At one point I counted 6," she noted. "The last time we looked, I saw just one and that disappeared also. I had never seen anything like it in the sky."

03.23.2012 / 2012 Financial Goal Checkup
When getting ready for the New Year, we make a lot of goals. We resolve to spend less, shop less, save more and maybe get our retirement savings in order. One of the challenges of our New Years resolutions is that once they are made, we do not often think about them until it is time to make them again the next year!
The best way to keep your goals on track is to review your progress once in a while. Now that we are reaching the end of the first quarter of 2012, we wanted to share a few review questions that can help you stay on track, course correct or even change your goals.
First, get out your financial information since January – this includes your budget, credit card statements, checking and savings account information, and anything else you think is applicable. Then, take a look at the last few months and ask yourself these questions:
1. How close have you stuck to your budget?
2. Did you have any unexpected expenses?
3. Did you over or underestimate on how much you need to spend on certain items each month?
4. Have you been hitting your savings goals, or have you missed the mark?
5. Upon review, how realistic were the goals you set earlier in the year?
Chances are, you've done well in some areas, but not so great in others. While everyone has unexpected expenses from time to time, the thing that often trip people up on the road to hitting financial goals can be the little things – you start off the year planning to take lunch every day, but poor planning results in purchasing lunch 3 times a week.
If you find that you're on the right track with your goals – congratulations! If you aren't, take a look at how you might adjust your budget, your savings plan or your spending habits to course correct or change your goals to be more realistic. Then check back again on how you're doing in July to keep your goals on track!

Going in to Saturday's contest against the Minnesota Wild, there was a very familiar storyline for the Colorado Avalanche. Already missing P.A. Parenteau, Alex Tanguay and Nate Guenin, the Avs were to be without David van der Gulik (head), Tyson Barrie (shoulder) and Nick Holden (personal reasons); all of whom had played the previous night against the New York Islanders (a 2-1 overtime loss).
But it was an injured player returning to the lineup that made the difference in the contest.
In the third period, forward Ryan O'Reilly turned a give-and-go with Matt Duchene into a 3-2 lead with a well-placed backhand.
"We both really like playing with each other and really understand the way each other play," said Duchene. "We like that give-and-go hockey, try and jump into holes and that's how we got the game-winner tonight."
O'Reilly ended the game with two tallies; and the Avalanche added an empty netter from Maxime Talbot to seal a 4-2 victory.
Due to the injury of Barrie, and Holden remaining Denver with his wife expected to give birth at any time; Ryan Wilson rejoined the team. Wilson returned from a conditioning assignment with the Lake Erie Monsters that was expected to last until Jan. 19.
Also recalled from the Monsters was defenseman Karl Stollery. The 26-year old made his NHL debut, finishing the contest with two penalty minutes and a plus-one rating in just under 11 minutes of ice time.
Undrafted out of Merrimack College, Stollery joined the Monsters on an amateur tryout contract in 2012. In that nine-game audition he put up seven points, earning a one-year AHL contract for the following campaign. The Avalanche signed Stollery to a two-way contract in May. He had 11 points in 29 games for the Monsters this season prior to being called up by the Avs.
The Wild outshot the Avalanche 27-18 in the contest, but the Avalanche limited the second-chance opportunities and grinded out a hard-fought victory.
"A character win for us," said Avs coach Patrick Roy. "Both teams have been hit pretty hard with injuries. It was an important game for both teams, we're glad we are on the winning side."
The Avalanche did not make it through the contest completely unscathed however, as center Paul Stastny left the game with an apparent leg injury. According to Roy, Stastny should play Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Shortly after that, I switched to doing "LANG= man ..." because of exactly the problem Al mentions.But just recently I have been considering going back to the German man pages, because the quality has become *MUCH* better.

Of course that won't be the same for all target languages; German is probably one of the best-supported ones because Linux usage in Germany is so heavy.As for Configure.help specifically: it should be fairly easy to do a script which notices when the original of a translation has changed, and possibly either replaces it with the English version, or else does some other more or less intelligent thing about it.MfG Kai-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
