Albuquerque ?C With a squad of eight players, the Arizona womenˇ?s basketball team held New Mexico to 4-of-30 shooting (13.3 percent) in the second half to run away with a 44-36 win over the Lobos on Saturday night in ˇ?The Pitˇ± before 8,813 fans.? The Wildcats improve to 6-4 with their fourth-straight win, while the Lobos fall to 7-3, ending New Mexicoˇ?s 13-game home winning streak.
ˇ?This was a great team win for us,ˇ± head coach Joan Bonvicini said.? ˇ?For us to come in here with eight players and hold New Mexico to that many points, and to shut them down in the second half just shows how hard our team plays.? I am very proud of how our players played tonight; this is just a great win for us and an incredible effort.ˇ±
As a team, Arizona shot 36 percent (18-50) from the field, and held New Mexico to a dismal 22.8 percent mark (13-57).? The Wildcats outrebounded the Lobos 44-34, and finished with seven steals off of 15 UNM turnovers.? Arizona also outscored New Mexico 30-14 in the paint.
Individually for the Wildcats, sophomore Amina Njonkou led the team with 14 points and 12 rebounds, and senior Ashley Whisonant finished with eight points and four assists.?
New Mexico hit a three on its opening possession, but Arizona rallied with five-straight points to take a 5-3 lead on a lay in by Njonkou at the 16:55 mark.? After being tied up at 10-10 at the 11:00 mark, Arizona went on a 7-1 scoring run over the next 5:11 to take a 17-11 lead capped by a jumper by Sarah Hays.? The Wildcats held the Lobos without a field goal for 7:28 until a layup by Brandi Kimble cut the Arizona lead to 17-15 with 4:32 left which helped propel a 13-4 Lobo run to end the half and give New Mexico a 24-21 halftime lead.
Arizona held New Mexico to a 33.3 percent (9-27) mark from the field, but finished the half going 2-of-10 (20 percent) from the floor for a 36.4 percent (8-22) first half mark.? The Wildcats also outrebounded the Lobos 19-14 in the first half, and were led by Njonkouˇ?s 10 points and seven rebounds.
Arizona opened the second half on fire, scoring 10-unanswered points to take a 31-24 lead at the 15:10 mark.? The Lobos started the second half shooting 1-of-18 from the field, as Arizona extended its lead to 38-28 on a jumper by Ashley Whisonant at the 9:15 mark.? New Mexico went on to shoot 2-for-23 from the field (9 percent) before scoring four-straight points to cut the Arizona lead to 40-34 with 4:02 left to play.? Tough defense and rebounding kept the Lobos from cutting into the lead anymore down the stretch, as Arizona held New Mexico to just 4-of-30 shooting (13.3 percent) in the second half.
Arizona will next travel to UW-Green Bay for a game on Thursday, Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. (CST).
?Game Notes: Freshman Ify Ibekwe missed Saturdayˇ?s game against New Mexico after suffering an eye injury during practice on Friday.? Ibekwe was averaging 13.8 points and 10.0 rebounds in the last six games.? Sophomore Rhaya Neabors was reinstated from her indefinite team susupension on Friday and played for the first time in three games.? New Mexico entered the game with a 13-game home winning streak, and owned a 7-0 home mark on the season before Saturday nightˇ?s loss.

Here's what I learned to turn all of this around in just a few weeks. I just started talking to people. So instead of looking for that next killer app, just start connecting with people. It all started a few weeks ago when I discovered this girl on my IG feed and asked her if she wanted to shoot portraits with me. That got my work featured on a popular blog that is run by a good friend, it wasn't the friendship that got it on the blog, it was the work that was finally good enough to be on there. Then more people started to volunteer for photographs, and now I have more people lined up than I have time to shoot. Then I started a podcast, and I had my friend who runs the blog on for an interview. Then I asked another stranger from my IG feed if I could have him on the show, and after his interview I hosted a live musical broadcast for all of my friends from my dining room table.
My email list went from 0 - nearly 200 people (some of this is from raiding old lists I wasn't using), my Facebook page for my photography went from 2 - 72 people, my Instagram profile went from 557 followers to 602. On one day my blog traffic spiked by about 430% on just one day. Now these numbers aren't crazy, but like I said, I've been doing this for two weeks.
Now I'm looking for guests for my podcast, looking for guests for the live show, and how I'm finding people is by creating a platform that provides value to them. I think people get so caught up in thinking about how to get content looked at, but never consider that if you can help someone else.
Here's the proposition, I'm hosting a free 30 minute google hangout where I'll teach you how to do it. I can only fit 9 people in it but if you're interested shoot me an email. I'm going to do this on Friday October 17 at 9pm PST.

Radon Exposure Link Between Non-Smokers & Lung Cancer
Written by Nicole Porter
Last updated on January 04, 2013 @ 6:43PM
Created on January 04, 2013 @ 5:18PM
One of the most common cancers in our area is lung cancer. While smoking is the number one cause of it, the next biggest one is radon exposure.
Radon is believed to be the cause of 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. It's the leading cause of this cancer in non-smokers. For doctors, they can't necessarily tell if an individual's cancer is caused by radon but when the patient doesn't smoke it's a good chance that's the cause.
While there's no outward signs of radon, you can get your home tested every so often to make sure it's not in your house.
Tests can be picked up at your local hardware store.

OSA will come to your club or league to discuss the proposed bylaws. Contact OSA by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com and someone from the OSA office will be in touch to set up meetings with your group.
OSA wants your input on this issue. Contact us for information.
When the Adult and Youth Divisions met August 25 at the Best Western Hotel in Stroud, the seven countries and the Adult leagues attending were provided copies of a draft of new bylaws for OSA. The principle goals of these amendments are to create a more streamlined State organization, responsive directly to the Clubs, with more Club participation on the Committees that make the rules and define the operation of soccer in Oklahoma.
OSA members are reminded that the bylaws distributed to them are a draft and input is requested from all clubs and leagues in Oklahoma Soccer. Representatives from the member Clubs across the state will be members of the committees.
OSA's Youth and Adult Divisions have worked together over the past several months to create a bylaw proposal for the membership to consider.

As we digest the signing of Yasiel Puig, let's take a look at some MLB players that could be targets for Ned Colletti in the coming weeks. To be clear, these are not rumors per se. Rather, these are Buster Olney's thoughts on who might be on Ned's radar and his comments (edited for this posting) on these "less-than-perfect options." ESPN Insider is required to read the whole article with Olney's complete commentary...
Jeff Francoeur, Kansas City Royals: As of Wednesday afternoon, Francoeur had a .702 OPS, which ranked 51st among 60 outfielders. He's owed about $9 million for the rest of his deal.
Alfonso Soriano, Chicago Cubs: He's owed about $46 million and is an incredibly streaky player. If the Dodgers traded for him, there's probably as good of a chance that he would be part of the problem as there is that he would be part of the solution.
Chase Headley, San Diego Padres: He'd be a great fit for the Dodgers in every way, giving them some positional flexibility. But the Padres might not be wild about trading within their own division.
Edwin Encarnacion, Toronto Blue Jays: Yes, he's eligible for free agency after this season, and he's having a strong year, and he'd be a nice fit. But it's probably far too early for Toronto to start dumping players.
Carlos Lee, Houston Astros: He could play first base and be an RBI guy, but in the past, he's told the Astros he would not approve a trade.
Hanley Ramirez, Miami Marlins: Ramirez is owed $40 million and is hitting .260, and they'd want significant return for one of Loria's favorite players.
Daniel Murphy, New York Mets: Here's someone who could be a nice fit. The Dodgers have bullpen help, which the Mets need, and the price for Murphy wouldn't be prohibitive now, because he's had an off year.
Boston Red Sox leftovers: The Red Sox could have a surplus of outfielders with Daniel Nava and Ryan Sweeney.
Vernon Wells, Los Angeles Angels: Oh, sure, the Angels would probably be open to a conversation about Wells, who is owed about $50 million for the next 2 1/2 seasons.
Justin Morneau, Minnesota Twins: Because of his concussion history some executives simply don't believe any team would make a move for him.
So, Dodgers fans...what do you think about these options? Sound off in the Shout Box!

Old Colorado City Library will be closed Sat., July 2 - Wed., July 6 while their floors are refinished.
Library Sets Up Laptop Lab, Provides Books for Evacuees at Red Cross Shelter
Pikes Peak Library District has set up its mobile Laptop Lab at the Red Cross Shelter at Cheyenne Mountain High School for evacuees of the Waldo Canyon Fire to use. Clifton Medford, IT Technician at PPLD, said the shelter had approximately 250 people at the shelter on Sunday evening and that the Laptop Lab's 12 computers have been in constant use since they were set up on Sunday.
Medford said that on Sunday evening, "Our laptops helped approximately 20 people register for the Red Cross Safe and Well program that we set as the homepage and easily 40 to 50 others used the laptops to look up fire information for their homes and local areas. There were also plenty of Facebook updates to let their friends and family know they were safe."
Medford said the Library hopes to have the laptops available at the shelter until it closes. He emphasized that the laptops are free to use and that, "We're not restricting anybody, but we are encouraging folks do sign up on the Red Cross website," so that family and friends know they are safe.
"My hope is to be here until everything is cleared," he said.
The Library has also donated approximately 60 books for evacuees to keep from materials that were recently weeded from the collection to evacuees, with a good balance of materials for children and adults.
Thank you PPLD for doing this
Thank you PPLD for doing this so people were able to let their friends and family members can know that they okay. Its really nice to see the community coming together during this disaster. Thanks again PPLD! :)

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville has been a busy woman over the past couple of months, as she has been filming the show, filming the reunion, wrapping up her second book and dealing with various dating scenarios, including her real-estate boyfriend, JR. However, there are some updates this week, as she has had quite the week. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Feb. 4, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville is now revealing that she has had quite the week as there is news about her missing dog.
On an episode of the show, she revealed that her dog went missing when she was traveling. She freaked out and hurried home to look for her dog, but she was convinced that her dog was missing for good, since there were lots of coyotes in her area. However, this week, she learned that someone may have had her dog since it went missing. "I'm freaking out - I just got an email from a lady who thinks she found Chica and the video looks exactly like her!! @JenniferGimenez chk email," Brandi revealed on Twitter at the time. She also added, "My hair is falling out my skin is a mess welcome to reunion week :/"
Chica has been missing since last summer, so it is a long time that someone has been storing her dog for her. Brandi went out and got another dog for her sons, since Chica was missing, but it sounds like she could get her back. Since the update, there have been no updates from Brandi on the topic.

Faculty can use the Groups feature to organize groups of students within a course. Once created, each group will have its own area within the course where group members can work and collaborate with one another. Some of the tools available to groups include:
Students can access their groups in several different ways (depending on how the faculty has decided to make the Groups feature available):
When inside a particular group's area, the students enrolled in that group will find the tools that their instructor has made available for use by that group. If there are certain tools that the students want to use but which the faculty has not made available, then the students can request the faculty to make those tools available for their use.

Old Tools Never Die - WGet and Access to SunSolve
By pelegri on Aug 30, 2009
Good old tools never die, like wget (and the beam torque wrench!). Gerry Haskins has written an overview on how to (continue to) use wget to access SunSolve repositories (where the For-Fee Patches for GlassFish are stored) now that authentication is enforced.
The short summary is "Use versions 1.10.x and 1.11.1, but not 1.11!", but Gerry gets into more details. You can also look at the Document at SunSolve.

View at publisher
This work examines correlations between functional morphology and behaviour in the instance of the burrowing locomotion of bivalves. A comparatively simple and assessable behaviour and a rich fossil record documenting the evolutionary adaptations in morphology make these animals adequate for investigation. In this paper a robotic setup to simulate the burrowing behaviour of bivalves is presented. Models of both natural bivalve shell shapes and artificially designed shapes are pulled into sediment in the rocking modality these animals typically use. Different shapes, motion patterns and a water expulsion mechanism are evaluated and compared in terms of burrowing performance. The results presented here and further experiments using the (improved) platform may shed light on how bivalves burrow, how features of functional morphology evolved and how efficient automatic burrowing devices may be constructed. Keywords: biorobotics, biomimetics, underwater robots, functional morphology, burrowing locomotion, shell morphology, bivalves, artificial evolution.

Although raised for the most part in Indiana, Colorado's Winter Park was Sit-skier Nick Catanzarite's new home for the last two years of highschool as part of the young ski racers program when he was paralyzed below the chest when he went down in what looked like a routine fall during a GS race in in 1995. Just one winter later his family got Nick back on the slopes, but it wasn't until much later that his future would unfold.
When Nick finally graduated from college at Michigan State, he decided to try disabled racing. By his second winter, he won the mono-ski DH title at the 2001 Chevy Truck U.S. championships, and he was named to his first U.S. Paralympic Team in 2002, then again in 2006, so this will be Nick's third Paralympic Games. In addition to these Olympic Games, Nick has been attending Denver University pursuing dual degrees in law and international studies thanks to the Willy Schaeffler Scholarship Fund, which provides a full ride for four years, as well as a fifth year abroad.
Nick's accomplishments include:
- Paralympics: 2002, 2006. Worlds: 2004
- 4th in 2006 Paralympics DH by.08 seconds
- First World Cup top-5 in 2005 World Cup
- 6th in SL, 7th in GS at 2004 World Cup
- 5th in 2002 Paralympics Downhill
- Won 2001 U.S. mono-ski Downhill title
Send Nick your support during the 2010 Paralympic Games in Vancouver, March 12-21.

I have been ill for 3 years now. I could go on and on with a
list of symptoms but they have spread throughout my entire body so
it would take forever.

it took two years to find a Dr. Smart enough too give me a FM tender point exam.If you are not having luck with your Dr's try a different approach,try a neurologist,you will get a more symapathetic ear from this field then you will from the other disciplines.Fm is not a death sentence but it's close,Dr's dont want to get involved,they dont want to prescribe the Med's that will help your symptoms,once you are diagnosed your life will change…..good luck

If it's possible, go the the Cleveland Clinic. They also have an incredible website that allows you to get email answers from doctors. There are also parasites that can cause these symptoms (ick, I know) or mercury/metal toxicity. Also, read the works of Dr. Hulda Clark. Her protocol saved my life, I believe. Prayers for you.

I have a 26 year old son who lost 40 pounds in 2 months and the
doctor's did every test imaginable and found nothing. My son had
mental confusion so bad that he didn't know who he was or where he
was and why he was there. Could not walk one day. Could not sleep
and alot of other neurologic symptoms. The doctors kept saying it
was depression because they did not have answers. My son found a
chiropractor/nutritionist in Columbus.

That sounds like a girl I knew. Her mother was a nurse and advocated tirelessly for her. The mother was pretty convinced it was Lyme Disease, but the tests came back inconclusive. They finally found a doctor willing to treat based on criteria rather than tests and then she started getting well. I'd say don't give up on alternatives, keep searching for someone with a good track record. If the medical doctors hate a nutritionist, that's a good sign.

It took two decades of worsening symptoms before I was able to get out of the military medical system and in to see a rheumatologist at Johns Hopkins hospital; there I was treated for an autoimmune condition even though the tests were inconclusive. Most autoimmune diseases like lupus take time to be diagnosed because tests do not always show up positive in the beginning. Do not give up. Write everything down along with dates when symptoms have appeared and disappeared (also common with autoimmune diseases). Keep a copy with you and take one to a new doctor. Speak respectfully and matter of factly and let the doctor know that your goal is to get better. but you are at a loss for how. Try NOT to get emotional, unfair as that is to say, because I have found that women tend to be labeled "hysterical" even in this day and age if we do. Even though we could only treat symptoms in the beginning, I have improved greatly over the years. I did find out that I CANNOT eat wheat gluten, though I do not have celiac, just gluten sensitivity. I also cannot be out in the sun a lot. I get enough sleep, I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and I eat a good diet and exercise. When the doctors see that I am doing what I need to, they listen better, but that is still no guarantee of getting a good doctor. If you know you are being honest with yourself, then do NOT give up. Seek a counselor who specializes in chronic pain if you can. They can be a vital sounding board. I pray that you get the help you can, just hang in there. Blessings.

The very best place to take control of your health is through
your diet. Start eating as close to the natural state of food as
possible. The Maker's Diet has a 40 day plan that may help to get
you on the road to health, and it certainly won't hurt you. That is
what cured me of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, and that is what
cured my son of ulcerative colitis. Supplements are unnecessary.
Following the food plan for 40 days, removing processed and
chemically altered foods from your diet, finding the peace of
purpose, and calling upon the power of prayer and faith may be
enough to start a truly positive change in your life. If so, then
pay it forward and help someone else. Helping others-

I had a myriad of symptoms also, but because I was an otherwise healthy young woman the doctors passed my complaints over. After a recent bout of 6 days of seizures I took my control back, I found a book clled "Stop the Thyroid Madness", and I am taking supliments. I feel much better and I am now thinking clearly, I don't think western medicine has much to offer if there aren't easy answers. One tip, if they are testing your TSH levels for thyroid problems they are wrong, find a dr that checks your antibodies or other markers. I wish someone could have told me this years ago. Good luck>

I read the other posts and don't know much about the parasite thing, but a good lead to follow. I was going to suggest googling "candida", "probiotics", "gluten intolerance", "spru or sprue", not sure how to spell it, but has to do with severe gluten allergy, which the western medical community has a hard time with, as well as candida. Good luck

Your symptoms sound like lyme and/or another co-infection like
babesia. You need special testing from a special lab in California
that tests only for tick -borne diseases. The regular lyme tests
that doctors do, usually come back false negative. There are lyme
literate doctors out there for treatment as most doctors don't know
or believe in what's best for treating lyme and other
co-infections. Google lyme and you'll find lots of info and
organizations that have websites.

I agree, your symptoms sound like Lyme Disease or a co-infection. I'm the chapter leader for our local Lyme Support Group. Four of my family members are recovering from Lyme. We got the run around from doctors too. That's very common. alannah is also right that the tick titers are not accurate, there are many false negatives. The California test and lab are much better. Not sure what area you live. If you'd like help finding a LLMD or other help and support, let me know. Hope you find healing and answers.

I can't write much…as i am in your same boat somewhat… I've been
bad off 6 years now! I recently tested positive for Lyme Disease
with the Western Blot being sent to Stony Brook Labs in NY. Find
yourself a doc who believes in Chronic Lyme and see if this is what
is going on with you! I still haven't found a doc i can work with
yet and my symptoms are progressing and it is starting to get
scary! Do a search for help online in your area to find a doc
this website has tons of links! i hope you find help soon!

I don't know exactly what it takes to get Doctors to listen. These are things I have learned along the way advocating for myself and my three sons. I try to remember that Doctors are human, they started out wanting to help people, some have become discouraged or jaded along the way. When they encounter problems they can't seem to solve easily they are just as likely to get frustrated and want to give up as we are. They are problem solvers by nature and intellegent failure is hard for them. I keep that in mind when speaking to them. I come in with a positive outlook, I try to give them as much information as possible about what has already been tried. I let them know that I am proactive in trying to help myself, that I maintain a good diet, try to excercise if I am well enough ect. I let them know that I will give their suggestions a fair try and will stay in communication, I cooperate with blood tests, schedules ect. If they suggest things that have been tried before, I tell them how long it was tried and what the outcome was. Then if the therapy they suggest isn't helping, I ask for recommendations for a second opinion. I talk to friends, family, people I respect and trust to find out who they recommend. I pray a lot, I always forgive if I find that I am angry with a Doctors treatment of me, I do not want negative emotions and their spiritual consequences affecting my health. I am a Christian, I read books on healing, read the gospels, and keep praying for what Jesus promised. I determine in my heart I will not give up on myself or God, there is an answer and I might as well keep looking for it what have I got to lose, if I don't I stay in the same situation or worse. Many people blame God or themselves and say why won't He heal me. I takes prayer and study to answer those kind of questions. It is not God that makes us sick it is the Devil. The Devil is not fair, picks on the innocent and his sole purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. I also pray for the Doctors I see, I pray that God will reveal things to them, give them wisdom, compassion, answers, strength, they are often so overworked. I pray for peace and calmness, and ease of communication before any medical test or visit. I pray that false symptoms and false results must go in Jesus name. These often happen to cause us to worry and get discouraged and sicker. I have had many healings over the years but no miracles, I have seen others experience miracles ( those instant spectacular types of healing) mine have been more likc processes with better outcomes then normal but still requiring time and sometimes medication for a period. I can tell you that the asthma I had since I was five, and was on significant meds for since I was twelve, gradually healed over the course of one year when I was 42 and I am on no meds at all I am 51 now. I can also tell you that the severe allergies to birds dogs cats dust and pollen are also gone over a course of about 10 years between 30 and 45. I had Graves disease 5 years ago, opted for the meds instead of the surgery the meds are only 40% succesful but I was one of the successes I was off them early and have be free of thyroid problems for about 2 years now. I attribute all of that to Jesus and the power of healing prayer. I now volunteer in my local healing rooms praying for the sick and have seen many miracles. My youngest son is a miracle, after having open heart surgery at one and suffering complications and being in life threatning conditions three times, he is a perfectly healthy teenager. My other son suffered minor illness, sleep disorders and severe depression at 16, left home went out on the streets, tried drugs and alcohol to self medicate, finally sought treatment and after 6 months on antidepressants and counselling is well and a functioning 21 year old, works full time and sleeps well as long as the work is physical, is paying his bills, and in the process of moving out again. I believe that God wants us well and will make a way. I am praying for you, keep looking for the right help keep trying. Google the Spokane Healing Rooms, they have a website that will direct you to a healing room in your area, they will also take your prayer request online. You have nothing to lose by trying Jesus and I believe a lot to gain. Be blessed and filled with hope and life again.

I have been ill all my life, seriously so for the past 29 years. In my experience, medical doctors don't know what to do for people who have so-called environmental illness, so they tune us out. I found an answer to my ailments, which were caused by a vaccine I received at the age of 5, through homeopathy. One of the problems with alternative medicine is that there is so much from which to choose, its not only hard to know what to do, but easy to choose the wrong therapies, supplements, etc. Please contact me…I can share the article I wrote about my illness and some of the things that worked. My email is email@example.com, my phone 941-748-0142.

Aem6543 and to all with pain, i completely understand what you are going through i am 26 years old and feel like my grandmother is healthier than i am.. i have never been ill before this and now my life from one day to the next has been changed forever. I am studying medicine and got sick from one day to the next with severe GI problems, supposedly i was mistreated within my first hospitalization back in January of this year. Since then i have been hopsitalized 2 more times and have had so many procedures and test done that dr's are just puzzled. I am still in pain and have major discomfort, i was placed on Lyrica for awhile thinking it was FM then to pain killers which i have taken myself off because i dont think they are working, i have fired 7 of my dr's and have called one into a conference next week to seek another treatment option. Its horrible. Im losing weight when i am forcing myself to eat, i cant look at food, i cant digest it well and i had my gallbladder removed last month…when i got the pathology reports my gallbladder was completely normal… just another unneccessary procedure and still no answers. I have done everything they asked and now im tired of it… my studies are suffering just had to drop a med course and my quality of life is not where it needs to be. My body is trying to talk to me trying to be well and telling me that it wants to feel better but these dr's just push me around from left to right… i finally took the ball and held it in my court and now im sitting down with the dr's next week to discuss and i am letting them know that i am no longer going to sit and wait and have this take over if they are not on the same page then there are other dr's i can seek and if i have to fly to find them or contact every dr i know then let it be.. because its my health thats at stake not theirs and they dont understand that and sometimes we have to be our own advocate. I would just take matters into your own hands and be in the dr's face when you dont feel, present yourself to them… i texted my dr's a hundred times until he took me serious… when i called to fired one of them and let them know i didnt need his services he began to be pro-active and now we are meeting… sometimes we grow and learn how to live with our pain but we dont have to live with it forever… just hang in there and try to research and contact dr's via email, call them, get in their face… trust me they are human and cocky but one will listen, sometimes it only takes one to help you and get the ball rolling… i still have my whole life to live and so do all of you…. if you need to talk just email me, my heart goes out to all of you… i understand your pain cause im in pain too. Be well.

You didn't mention what kind of Dr.'s you have seen, but with fevers and seizures, you need to see a good rheumatologist and possibly infectious disease doc. at your age lupus is a real possibility. Have you been tested for that and RA? Unfortunately, sometimes symptoms precede the lab evidence of these illnesses, and you need a doc who will at least try to get to thew bottom of this and treat your symptoms even if a definite diagnosis cannot be made yet. A neurologist is appropriate as well, to do an EEG and MRI for the seizures. Fibromyalga does not cause seizures and fevers, but lupus can. Be persistent and make a written list of all your symptoms in the order they appeared, and all the tests you have had done and the results. Good luck! I would start with a rheumatologist.

My first advice is not to give up! I am not sure how to get a
doctor to actually listen and care enough to figure out the missing
pieces of the puzzle; the only doctors I have ever found to listen
and help are the ones I have met at St. Jude Children's research
hospital, where my son has been a patient now for a just shy of 4

For heaven's sake, keep at it and insist to the doctors something is wrong. The Lyme disease sounds like a good lead, but also, check into getting an MRI at the source of her most pain. If my sister-in-law, who was at one time diagnosed as Lyme, fibromyalgia, etc, and etc. had done that, doctors might have discovered the real problem was lung cancer instead of all of the above or just plain hypochondria in time to do something about it. When she finally got the right diagnosis, she passed away in even greater pain after a month. However, if they had looked when she first came in with symptoms 10 years before, she might be alive today. Keep looking!

Yes, by all means—NEVER give up! I
don't know why this kind of thing happens in the medical field, but
it surely does. we went through a similar situation several years
ago with my dear mother in law. Despite seeing several doctors over
the period of three years, no one could figure out the
What was most troubling of all is that even though these health
care professionals would recommend others, with every visit, it was
like we were starting all over again. Records were never
transferred and the whole system seemed pitifully
Bottom line is you need to pursue solutions on your own, keep
accurate records of visits, diagnoses, tests, etc. and include
alternative health options in your search as many of these have
valid treatments for numerous conditions.

Vienna, AustriaBiochemist at the University of Vienna who during his student years spent as much time as possible in the Alps doing open-face rock climbing. After writing a major monograph on the chemistry and biochemistry of human blood groups, Helmut is now retired and happy to have time for ornithology and to continue his interrupted studies at the institute of zoology. If no birds are around, he will cheerfully film insects, small mammals, and plants, - he fully shares the late Roger Tory Peterson's philosophy that 'you have to love a place' with all its ecosystems and its entire diversity of life.
He began filming birds after a trip to the Shetlands and Fair Isle (UK) in the 80's with a super8 camera, then changed to video; he now works with a Canon MV700 Digital Camcorder. He has journeyed to all 7 continents, and covered ground from Spitzbergen to the Antarctic.

his investigation into Whitewater on Aug. 5, 1994, taking over for Robert Fiske
and in the four years following, his jurisdiction was expanded to include
Travelgate, Filegate and Monica Lewinsky - reaching to the highest level of the
federal government. His investigations culminated on Sept. 9, 1998 when the
Independent Council Report containing
(thirty-six boxes — two duplicate sets of the report, grand jury
testimony, videotapes and other evidence) was delivered to Congress.
President Clinton has been accused of numerous crimes.
In taped
conversations with Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky graphically recounted details
of sexual encounters with Mr. Clinton and indicated that Mr. Clinton and his
advisor, attorney Vernon Jordan, had directed her to perjure herself in the
Jones v. Clinton deposition. President Clinton tried to keep Ms Lewinsky quiet
by giving her a number of gifts inlcuding a book of poetry, a T-shirt and a hat
pin -- gifts that Clinton called meaningless trinkets and "no big deal."
Clinton had given Lewinsky as many as six gifts at a private White House
meeting on December 28 -- three weeks after she was named as a potential
witness in the Jones case.
The president's surrogates and
supporters were expert in diverting attention from whatever current scandal
President Clinton is embroiled in. Rather than answering the most relevant
evidence in the Paula Jones lawsuit, for example, they rather orchestrated a
media blitz depicting Jones as a promiscuous, flirtatious, gold-digging,
fame-seeking slut, unworthy of belief. They have characterized her allegations
as 'tabloid trash,' in Bennett's famous phrase.
Indeed, it was through the unremitting
pursuit of truth that led Ken Starr to issue a subpena forcing Clinton to
testify before the Grand Jury. Rather than facing the unprecidented testimony,
Bill Clinton made a deal with Starr that allowed him to save face and appear
before the grand jury voluntarily.
All these attempts by Bill Clinton to impede the persuit of truth were just the latest in a long history of obstruction of justice. Bill Clinton has always been and continues to be an arrogant power-broker who believe that he is above the law. Indeed, his entire administration has been one of destroying the concept of the "rule of law."
Lying is nothing new for Bill Clinton.
Those who have followed his career have seen him lie repeatedly and yet somehow
seem to get away with it ... thus his nickname, "Slick Willy." His latest
episode of lying is significant only in that he is, first, caught in the lie
and second, he has admitted to lying, and third, his lie was made in
connection with sworn testimony in a court of law - that makes it perjury.
Far too many Americans, in collusion with the mainstream media have for years defended the lies of Mr. Clinton, oftentimes denying his untruthfulness outright. Throughout the period of Clinton's investigation, the media elaborated the idea that "character doesn't matter." Today, they are faced with the fruit of that philosophy. What Clinton's televised "apology" has done is force those long-time supporters to be faced with a truth they can no longer deny.
Decide for yourself if Bill Clinton lied in his deposition in
the Paula Jones sexual misconduct suit on January 17, 1998.
What else has Bill
Clinton lied about?
Will we ever know what lies he told in connection with the murders of Vincent Foster and over 100 other associates, staff, and friends? What about his underworld connections stretching back to the Dixie Mafia days in Hot Springs; his roles in the Waco massacre, the Oklahoma City bomb, or the crash of TWA 800, Valujet, the Ron Brown crash, William Colby's drowning, the Atlanta Bomb, the Saudi Bomb, the church burnings and all the rest? What about the dozens of other women who have testified against Mr. Clinton and the far more serious offenses in narcotics trafficking, collusion with China in unAmerican activities, and about more than a thousand missing FBI files and the Travel Office firings, not to mention Whitewater and illegal fundraising? Why would anyone believe this admitted liar about his promises about health care, cigarette legislation, Internet censorship, the Brady bill, saving Social Security, or global warming?
Sadly, the majority of Americans prefer to remain in blissful
ignorance and don't care to know the truth about their leaders. Subconsciously
at least, they now know their President was a liar, but few have any idea of
the trail of bodies, drug-smuggling, bank
thefts, abused women and cover-ups he has left behind. They don't want to know
that Monica Lewinsky's 37 post-employment visits to The Oval Office were not
merely to supply Mr. Clinton's appetite for sex, but his appetite for

Sophomore Jeff Hoffman
Oct. 4, 2012
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Senior Philip Clark hit a grand slam and junior Ben Fultz drove in three runs guiding Purple (2-0) to an 11-1 win over Gold (0-2) in eight innings Thursday afternoon in game two of the 2012 Purple-Gold World Series at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Clark and Fultz combined to drive in seven runs on five hits, while senior Jay Cannon (3), junior Drew Reynolds (2) and sophomore Nick Thompson (2) each collected multiple hits for Purple who outhit Gold 14-1 on the day.
Leading 1-0 in the fifth frame, Purple exploded for five runs highlighted by Clark's second round-tripper of the series to take a 6-0 advantage. Reynolds started the inning with a double down the left field line and moved over to third on Thompson's base knock to left. Fultz drove in Reynolds with another single to left for a 2-0 lead. With one out, freshman Travis Watkins loaded the bases with a walk and Clark cleared them with a poke over the right field wall.
Sophomore Jeff Hoffman (1-0) picked up the win for Purple after tossing two scoreless innings with a pair of strikeouts and one walk. Hoffman retired the side in order on six pitches in the first frame and threw just 11 pitches in the second before turning the game over to freshman Justin Taylor. The right-hander also tossed three scoreless frames allowing one run, but walked seven to go with his lone punch out. Freshman Nick Durazo kept the no-hitter in tack walking two and striking out three in two scoreless frames, while sophomore Dylan Dickens allowed Gold's only hit, which came in the eighth inning, off the bat of senior catcher Sam King.
Redshirt freshman David Lucroy (0-1) took the loss despite allowing one run on three hits in 3.1 frames. Sophomore DeShorn Lake served up Clark's homer and was touched for five runs (all earned) on four hits in one inning. Freshman Hayden White tossed a scoreless inning allowing a walk, while sophomore Tyler Bolton (1.2 IP, BB, K) and redshirt freshman Ryan Gupton (1.0 IP, BB) combined to allow five runs on seven hits in the final 2.2 stanzas.
Purple took an early 1-0 lead in the third frame on Thompson's RBI single through the left side that scored Cannon from third after he doubled with one out to get into scoring position.
In the bottom of the fifth, Gold finally got onto the board thanks to a bases loaded walk by junior Chase McDonald. Freshman Garrett Brooks reached on a fielder's choice, stole second and moved to third on junior Zach Houchins walk. After junior Dylan Brown loaded the bases with the third free pass of the frame, McDonald collected his third RBI of the series putting the score at 6-1.
Purple added three runs in the seventh thanks to a wild pitch that plated Cannon and RBI singles by Fultz and freshman Luke Lowery making it an eight run game, 9-1.
In the eighth, Cannon laced an RBI single that pushed across Clark and Fultz capped off his three-hit day with another RBI base know, scoring Cannon for an 11-1 win.
The Pirates will take a break from the diamond for Fall Break, but will return to action for game three of the series on Friday, Oct. 12 with a 3:15 p.m. scheduled first pitch.

Tony Ersland, who wrestled at Big Ten mat power University of Iowa and has been on the coaching staff at University of Nebraska for the past eight years, has been named head wrestling coach at another Big Ten program, Purdue University, the West Lafayette, Ind.-based school announced Friday.
Ersland replaces Scott Hinkel, who resigned as the Boilermakers' head coach in early April after seven seasons at the helm, and, before that, 14 seasons as an assistant coach at his college alma mater.
"We had many qualified candidates, but in the end it was clear that Tony had emerged as our No. 1 choice," said Morgan Burke, Purdue athletics director. "He presented a comprehensive plan for moving our wrestling program forward both in the Big Ten and nationally. His resume as a coach and as a student-athlete is impressive, and it is clear he knows the look and feel of a championship-caliber program. I congratulate our search team, led by Calvin Williams, for selecting an outstanding head coach."
Williams, Purdue's associate athletics director, weighed in with his assessment of the school's new wrestling coach.
"Tony has been associated with winning programs and has significant experience in the Big Ten Conference," said Williams. "He brings a level of maturity and focus that will be conducive to taking our wrestling program to the next level. We believe very strongly that he is the right choice for Purdue University."
A major theme of Purdue's official announcement of Ersland's hiring appeared to be his Big Ten experience garnered as a staff member at Nebraska, and, prior to that, at Northwestern University, as well as an Iowa Hawkeye wrestler.
Most recently, Ersland had served as an assistant coach at Nebraska for the past eight seasons. In that time, the Huskers had tallied a 102-41-2 dual record, placed among the top-20 teams at seven NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, and could claim 17 All-American wrestlers.
At Northwestern, Ersland was the head assistant wrestling coach, as well as a coach and board member for the Wildcat Wrestling Club, from 2000-2005. Prior to that, Ersland coached at two Mid-American Conference schools, Northern Illinois University, and Central Michigan.
In addition to his collegiate coaching experience that goes back to 1997, Ersland coached the Cyclone Wrestling Club affiliated with Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, where he worked with NCAA champs Trent Paulson (157 pounds) and heavyweight David Zabriskie along with other NCAA qualifiers and All-Americans.
A native of Humboldt, Iowa – hometown to early 20th century professional wrestling champ Frank Gotch – Ersland wrestled at University of Iowa for coach Dan Gable at 177 pounds. Ersland also made his mark in the classroom, as a four-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, and winner of Iowa wrestling's J. Donald McPike Award, given to the senior on the team with the highest grade-point average.
Ersland faces many challenges in his new job. During the 2013-14 season, Purdue placed eleventh out of twelve programs in the team standings at the 2014 Big Ten Conference Championships. Not a single Boilermaker wrestler made it to the conference finals. Purdue had two automatic qualifiers for the 2014 NCAAs: Cashe Quiroga at 133 pounds, and Braden Atwood at 197.

The aging process is tough enough yet there are many people that suffer from premature aging. A person in their early 30s should not show signs of wrinkles but many of them do. It is possible for older people to have firm and soft skin if they take care of themselves properly. There are six tips to prevent the signs of premature aging and help keep skin firm looking for a longer period of time.
1. Do Not Worship the Sun
While many people enjoy tanning direct sunlight and the rays from the sun are bad for the skin. The sun can dry out the skin causing the tendons to become delicate and the elasticity to be decreased. When a person goes out into the sun they need to take measure to protect themselves. A person should wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. It should be applied at least 20 minutes before going out into the sun and reapplied often. A wide brimmed hat and sunglasses will also help protect the body from exposure to the harmful rays. The tanning bed is just as bad as the sun and should be avoided for younger looking skin.
2. Smoking is Bad
Not only are cigarettes bad for health but they are bad for the skin as well. Smoking is one of the biggest causes of premature aging. Smoking allows toxins into the skin and dries it out as well. This causes the skin to sag and wrinkles to form. People who quit smoking even at an older age will see improvement in their skin. They will see that less wrinkles form and their skin tone will begin to even out.
3. Drink Water, Lots of It
Drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day can give the skin the hydration that is needs. If the skin is hydrated the elasticity is improve causing less wrinkles. Water will also reduce the amount of toxins that are in the body allowing the skin to stay firm.
4. Moisturize
The body loses moisture very easily through perspiration and other natural functions. In order to make sure the skin is hydrated enough a moisturizer should be applied on a daily basis. The moisturize will help replenish the natural oils in the skin and help repair the cells. When selecting a moisturizer look for one that is not greasy and contains all natural products such as Vitamin E.
5. Exercise on a Regular Basis
Exercise is not only good to keep the body in shape and prevent fat from building up. It is good for the skin as well. In order to stay healthy the muscles in the body have to be used often. Exercising at least four times a week will help improve the elasticity of the skin. If the skin has good elasticity there is less of a chance for wrinkles to develop. This includes exercising the muscles on the face. There are many exercises that work out the muscles around the eyes, mouth, and cheeks. Anti-aging yoga exercises can also be beneficial, as these only takes couple of hours to do and can result in firmer and less wrinkled skin.
6. Practice Proper Facial Care
Cleaning the face to remove extra oil is very important. Sometimes when a person washes their face the do more harm them good. Scrubbing the face too hard can remove the natural oils from the skin. These oils help the skin regenerate. When washing the face wash in a circular motion which will improve the blood flow to the cells and keep the natural oils in. When a person has a pimple they may be tempted to pop or pick at it. This is one of the worst things for the skin. Squeezing will allow the bacteria from the acne to spread to the rest of the face and allow scars to form. Damaged skin leads to wrinkles.
These tips for healthy wrinkle free skin will help a person stay looking younger and keep the skin firmer longer. Natural will make a person age quickly enough as it is. The skin will lose elasticity over the years and a person should not add to this process. Following these tips will help slow down the aging process and decrease the chance for aging prematurely.

ORONO, Maine—Vinson Givans (Cambridge, Mass.) returned an interception for a touchdown and added 10 tackles to lead the University of Maine football team to a 27-21 win over the Rhode Island Rams in the Black Bears' Homecoming Game. Maine is now 5-1 overall and 3-0 in CAA play while Rhode Island falls to 1-5 and 0-3 in league play.
Maine got on the board first midway through the opening quarter when Warren Smith (Forked River, N.J.) found an open Pushaun Brown (North Brunswick, N.J.) for a 22-yard score.
Smith would help extend the Black Bear lead when he found Maurice McDonald (Paterson, N.J.) for a 41-yard touchdown with 5:37 left in the first half.
Smith would get his third touchdown pass of the day when he found Derek Session (Baltimore, Md.) for a 21-yard score a little over five minutes into the third quarter.
The Rams would get on the board when Bob Bensten found Anthony Baskerville for a 25-yard touchdown to make it 21-7.
After the Black Bears could not convert, Jordan Waxman (Kintnersville, Pa.) hit a beautiful 49-yard punt that went out at the Rhode Island 3-yardline. The Black Bear defense would make the Rams go to a third-and-nine situation, and Givans intercepted the tipped ball at the two and ran it in for what would be the winning score.
Rhode Island added a pair of scores in the fourth, but Maine would get a crucial first down courtesy of Smith to seal the win.
McDonald had a game-high nine receptions and 139 yards receiving while Brown rushed for a game-high 103 yards. Smith completed 18-of-26 passes for 233 yards and three scores.
Trevor Coston (Greenlawn, N.Y.) notched eight tackles and an interceptions while Jerron McMillian (Hillside, N.J.) added six tackles, including two tackles-for-loss.
Waxman notched five punts inside the 20-yardline.
Bentsen threw for 158 yards and a pair of scores for Rhode Island.

Game One Box Score | Game Two Box Score
LOS ANGELES - A nearly eight-hour marathon of baseball resulted in a pair of wins for 11th-ranked UCLA as the Bruins beat Washington, 3-2 in 15 innings and 4-0, in both teams' Pac-12 Conference openers Saturday at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
The day included the completion of Friday night's game, which was halted in the fourth inning due to low visibility caused by fog. That game ended up going five hours and 35 minutes in total, with the Bruins winning on a two-out, bases-loaded single from Christoph Bono.
In the second game, UCLA (2-0 in the Pac-12, 14-3 overall) scored two in the first to take the lead and Nick Vander Tuig pitched a complete-game shutout for the win.
The Huskies (0-2, 4-13) got to UCLA ace Adam Plutko early on Friday. Husky senior Joe Meggs led off the game with a double down the left-field line. After a bunt moved him to third, he scored on a groundout from Jayce Ray.
In the second inning, UW designated hitter Brian Wolfe blasted a long homer to right field to open the inning, staking the Huskies to a 2-0 lead.
The game, which was suspended with one out in the bottom of the fourth, picked back up Saturday with the pitching still mostly in charge. Neither team was able to conjure much more than the odd walk or single until the bottom of the eighth, when the Bruins rallied to tie the game.
UCLA's Brenton Allen opened up by doubling down the right field line and then took third on an error. After walk, a passed ball allowed Allen to score from third. A sacrifice bunt moved the runner to third and, after another walk, Eric Filia bounced into a force at second to push the tying run across.
Both teams had a chance in extra innings. In the 10th, the Bruins got a two-out triple and loaded the bases on a pair of intentional walks, but a groundout ended the inning. In the 12th, the first two Huskies reached base on a hit batter and a single from Trevor Mitsui, but couldn't push a run across.
In the 14th, UCLA loaded the bases with two outs, but a bunt attempt resulted in an out to end that threat. In the 15th, Husky senior shortstop Ty Afenir led off with a double and then took third base on a balk. Meggs and Ray were hit by pitches to load the bases with one out, but a infield fly and a strikeout ended the inning and kept the score knotted at 2-2.
The Bruins finally broke through for the victory in the 15th. After a leadoff single from Kevin Kramer, a pair of one-out wild pitches moved him to third. After a pair of walks (one of them intentional), Shane Zeile hit a chopper to short and the UW got Kramer on a force at the plate for the second out, but Bono, who entered the game defensively in the top of the 15th, came through with a single to drive in the winning run.
UW junior reliever Trevor Dunlap turned in a terrific performance, entering the game in the eighth and pitching through the end of the 14th inning. He allowed just two hits and no runs over six and one-third innings, striking out seven.
UCLA used seven pitchers, with Jake Ehret (1-0) picking up the win in his first college appearance. He struck out the only batter he faced to end the top of the 15th. The Huskies used eight pitchers. Dae Yang Kim, who came on to start the 15th, took the loss to fall to 0-1 on the season.
In the second game, UCLA capitalized on an error to score two in the first. With two aboard, a throwing error allowed one to score. Later, with two outs, a Chris Keck groundout to third drove in a second, giving the Bruins a 2-0 lead.
In the fourth, Keck led off with a single and Bono followed with a home run to right field, stretching the Bruins lead to 4-0. In the seventh, Eric Falia doubled and eventually scored on a bunt from Brett Urabe to make it 5-0.
UW starter Austin Voth (2-3) went six and one-third innings in the loss, allowing five runs (two of them unearned) on 11 hits while striking out eight. Vander Tuig (3-2) gave up seven hits and no walks while fanning eight.
Husky third baseman Andrew Ely led the UW offense, going 3-for-4 in the nightcap. He was also 2-for-6 in the first game.
The Huskies and Bruins close out the series Sunday with a 1:00 p.m. game.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl-coD6ovc0[/youtube]I grew up listening to My Fair Lady. I am not kidding you: When I was a small child, my parents had a lot of classical music on records, a couple of German songwriters, and My Fair Lady and Fiddler on the Roof (both in a German version). I was allowed to handle the record player from a very young age, and often chose to play the musicals for their catchy tunes. Continue reading

Earworm of the day: Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1pMMIe4hb4[/youtube]Wuthering Heights is the song that originally awakened my interest in Kate Bush. I don't even particularly like the novel, but there's something magical and otherwordly about the song, and often it's the first song I play when I take out my Kate Bush CDs. This video version is delightfully overacted. Enjoy!

Earworm of the day: Thursday's Child by David Bowie
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4DzdUEiyL8[/youtube]My favorite CD right now is Best of Bowie. There are about 10 songs among the 20 on it that I could enter here as an earworm, but I have decided for Thursday's Child. It's one of those sneakily catchy songs that appear rather unspectacular when you listen to them, then grab you and don't let go for the next 48 hours.
What are your favorite David Bowie songs?

Earworm of the day: Let the River Run by Carly Simon
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv-0mmVnxPA[/youtube]Let the River Run is an old favorite. I also love the movie from whose soundtrack it is, Working Girl. The song gets me into an upbeat mood, so it's ideal for phases with lots of work (but a weekend on the horizon).

Earworm of the day: Chile lindo by Omara Portuondo
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnCGJyeSYWo[/youtube]I love Omara Portuondo's CD Dos Gardenias, from which this version of Chile lindo is taken. My favorite song on it is actually Gracias a la vida, but as I was unable to find a decent-sounding version on YouTube, and Chile lindo comes a close second, here it is!
I understand very little Spanish, so I don't understand the text. But I love the music, the voice and the rendering of the song.
What songs in the Spanish language do you like especially?

Earworm of the day: Luka by Suzanne Vega
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ0L7O_khbs[/youtube]I have very mixed feelings about Suzanne Vega. When I was at university, for six months I lived next door to this very nice girl named JoAnn, who loved listening to music. Really loved it. Did I mention the walls were thin? Her favorite albums were Suzanne Vega's Solitude Standing and Tracy Chapman's Tracy Chapman. And believe me, there are only so many times a day you want to listen to Tom's Diner or Talking 'bout a Revolution. That said, I have since recovered from Vega overload and have come to quite like her. Luka, with its harrowing lyrics and lovely melody, is probably my favorite song by her.
Are there songs that you hated due to ever-exposure in the past, but that you like now?

Earworm of the day: Only Time by Enya
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVGinwDu0L8[/youtube]This song is what I call an insidious earworm: It sticks to the back of your mind even after you've just heard the first few notes, and doesn't leave you for days.
I don't even particularly like this song. I understand it's emotionally charged with memories of 09/11 for many, and for that reason I respect it. But that doesn't change the fact that it's the kind of song that does not appeal to me much. Still, it sticks to me like a burr whenever I hear even a snatch of it.
Yesterday, someone hummed it near me – and here is my revenge on you all: I'm giving you the earworm.

Earworm of the day: Marathon Kiss by Marianne Faithfull
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoWcgP7SUD4[/youtube]For me, Marianne Faithfull is a true "mood" musician. Sometimes, I don't listen to her for months, next I take an album of hers and listen to it non-stop. Continue reading
Earworm of the day: Jungleland
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PTJHhUeAfc[/youtube]I've been listening to Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run a lot recently, and the song Jungleland is the one that has stuck with me the most. I love the way the different melodies and instruments are weaved together, and the urgency of Springsteen's voice as he delivers it. Unfortunately it's too complicated for me to sing without a score, but I catch myself humming snatches of melodies.
What is your favorite Springsteen song?

Earworm of the day: Into the Great Wide Open by Tom Petty
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0v7e3e7toU[/youtube]Recently I asked a group of seventeen-year-olds whether any of them had ever heard of Tom Petty. They just stared at me. Continue reading
