Bruised or broken? Wrist or hand? Rehabbing or rehashing?
The story about the injury which has sidelined Cleveland Browns quarterback Charlie Frye for three weeks grew bizarre Friday when media outlets, including ESPN.com, cited a source close to the two-year veteran as saying a second examination had revealed a broken bone in his hand. And then, hours later, Browns coach Romeo Crennel debunked those reports, continuing to insist the injury is a deep bruise.
"It seems some of you guys have been talking to the doctors, and all of a sudden the guy has a fracture," Crennel said. "He has a bone bruise. I said that yesterday. I said it the day before. I said it a couple weeks ago. And I'll say it tomorrow, if you ask me tomorrow. He has a bone bruise. It is getting better slowly."
Citing sources, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland and Akron Beacon Journal both reported Friday that Frye earlier this week sought a second opinion on his injured hand from a Pittsburgh specialist. The exam, the source said, revealed a broken bone on the top of the Frye's right hand, near the wrist. Sources close to the quarterback confirmed that diagnosis to ESPN.com later Friday morning.
A few hours later, with Crennel suggesting he was being perceived as trying to conceal the severity of the injury, the situation grew increasingly confusing. In fact, Crennel employed that very term, "confusing," to describe the events of the past few days.
Certainly, it's a lot of attention being focused on an injured quarterback who plays for a franchise that has a 4-10 record and was long ago eliminated from playoff contention.
"We aren't trying to hide anything," Crennel said. "Then you guys don't believe what we tell you. Maybe you don't trust us. Maybe you don't trust me. I tell you that it's a bone bruise, and you say, 'Hey, it's a fracture.' One way or another, you look bad or I look bad. None of us really needs to look bad, because the truth is what it is. The truth is the truth. I tell you what I know."
Frye, who started the first 12 games of the year, has missed the last two outings and will not play Sunday when the Browns host Tampa Bay. Derek Anderson, who has played well since he replaced Frye in the first half of a Dec. 3 game, will get his third straight start.
The Browns tend to be rather guarded with their pronouncements about injuries and may simply be parsing medical terms with their explanation. Frye had declined until Friday to discuss his hand injury, which has kept him out of practice for nearly three full weeks, and for which he continues to receive daily treatments.
Why a source close to the quarterback would reveal the results of the second opinion is unknown. But it is believed that Frye feels the Browns should have acknowledged the severity of the injury.
Still, on Friday, even Frye was somewhat convoluted in describing the injury. He noted that he spoke with Browns trainer Marty Lauzon and team physician Dr. Anthony Miniaci, and was apprised the injury was a bone bruise. Asked what the specialist in Pittsburgh told him, Frye replied: "The same thing." But he then chose not to elaborate. He did note that, at this point, he can only throw the ball 10 yards.
"It's just frustrating," Frye said. "It's a part of the game and you have to deal with it."
One element on which everyone seems to agree is that the injury will not require surgery. The Pittsburgh specialist advised Frye, a source said, that the injury will take about 4-6 weeks to heal. Frye should be fully recovered well in advance of the start of the Browns' offseason program in March.
Frye, 25, has experienced problems even gripping the ball since suffering the injury. While some of the swelling in his wrist has subsided, there is still discomfort. In his 12 starts this season, Frye, who assumed the starting role from Trent Dilfer for the final five games in 2005, completed 227 of 358 passes for 2,267 yards, with 10 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions, for a passer rating of 72.0.
Anderson had not thrown a regular-season pass until three weeks ago, when he relieved the injured Frye against the Kansas City Chiefs. He completed 12 of 21 passes for 171 yards, with two touchdown passes and one interception in that Dec. 3 overtime victory against the Chiefs. The former Oregon State star then lost the first two starts of his career, at Pittsburgh on Dec. 7 and at Baltimore last Sunday, but performed well in both outings. For the season, Anderson has completed 56 of 90 passes for 670 yards, with five touchdown passes, four interceptions and passer rating of 85.0.
Crennel this week backed off earlier comments that Frye might have to re-earn his starting job when he is healthy. He indicated that Frye remains the No. 1 quarterback looking to the future. Still, there remains some thought that Anderson, who has been poised and confident in his first two starts, could challenge for the starting job in camp next summer.
Concluded Crennel about the various reports surrounding Frye's injury: "If the source is a doctor, tell the source to call me and let me know. If the source is not a doctor, tell him to keep his mouth shut."

Tuna Fish Salad Adapted for Oz
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 5 mins
As a teenager I was making this but when I moved to Australia lots of recipes presented their own little challenges. MasterFoods makes a great pickle relish called Gherkin Relish and now I cannot imagine my Tuna Fish Salad without it. Good for lunch on crisp lettuce and even better the next day on sandwiches. Also makes a delicious Pasta salad when added to two cups of cooked shell or spiral macaroni. It is best stirred in when the mac is still hot, then chill.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (185 g) can chunk tuna, drained and mashed
- 1 cup mayonnaise (Hellmans or Best or S & W)
- 3⁄4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 finely sliced scallions (green or spring onions)
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 tablespoon american mustard
- 2 tablespoons gherkin relish (pickle)
- salt and pepper
- Salt and pepper the chopped eggs.
- Using a fork combine all ingredients well.
- Place, covered, in refrigerator to chill.
Most Helpful
Yum, yum, I made this to go on sandwiches, I used finely diced carrot instead of celery and only 1/2 cup mayo, very yummy, will keep this and try it in a pasta salad come summertime. Thanks for posting!
This is great, very similar to how I make my tuna salad except Ive never added egg or mustard. I only had 1/2 cup mayo (BF) and it was still wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
This is pretty much my idea of classic tuna salad. I love mustard in my tuna salad. Makes a great sandwich (as well as all the other ingredients). Thanx for reminding me of a great tuna salad.

9th Inning PH HR Drives Cubs to Victory
Richard Jones slammed a pinch-hit tie-breaking home run over the RF fence with one out in the top of the 9th, and the Cubs held-on to defeat the Angels 2-1 in AZ Instructional League action at Diablo Park Field #3 in Tempe this morning.
Jones, the Cubs 2009 9th round selection out of The Citadel, was drafted as a catcher, but his #1 attribute is raw power. In fact, after signing with the Cubs in June, Jones hit seven HR in just twelve games for the AZL Cubs (Mesa), before moving up to Boise. (Jones ended up tied for 3rd in the AZL in HR, while playing there only two weeks!). And remember, he did all that while playing in the AZL's huge minor league complex ball parks with 25-ft high fences, where it's almost easier to hit a triple than it is to hit a HR.
While Jones was a catcher in college, he appears more comfortable at 1B (or DH) But if he can remain a catcher, his value will be greatly increased, since power-hitting catchers who bat left-handed are always in demand.
Besides working on his defense behind the plate, Jones is also at Instructs to try and learn to make better contact at bat (56 K in 174 PA at Mesa and Boise combined in 2009).
Today's game was scoreless through five innings, before the Angels broke-through with a run off RHP Nick Struck (Cubs 2009 39th round pick out of Mt. Hood CC) in the 6th, on a walk, a sac-bunt, and an RBI double. (Struck dropped to the 39th round only because he was considered a virtual "lock" to transfer to the University of Hawaii, but the Cubs came up with some additional money and were able to sign him just before the August deadline).
The Cubs came back to tie the score in the top of the 7th with two outs, when Brandon Guyer (yesterday's hero) lined a single to left (his second hit of the game), and scored on a near-HR RBI triple smashed high off the RF fence by Ryan Flaherty.
23-year old polished college LHP Chris Rusin (2009 4th round pick out of U. of Kentucky) got the start for the Cubs today, and he hardly broke a sweat, allowing just a lead-off bunt single in the 1st (and then he immediately picked the runner off), throwing just 15 pitches (12 strikes) combined over two innings of work. He was on the field maybe seven minutes.
RHP Chris Archer followed Rusin with three shutout innings, allowing two hits and a walk on 43 pitches (26 strikes). while retiring the last five men he faced.
One of three pitchers the Cubs acquired from Cleveland for Mark DeRosa last off- season, Archer throws a 92-94 MPH fastball, a curve, and a change-up, and was 4th among Cubs minor leaguers in strikeouts in 2009 (trailing only Jay Jackson, Mitch Atkins, and Chris Carpenter). But he is at Instructs to work on his command & control (he led the Cubs minor leagues in walks in '09), and he has indeed shown some progress with his strike-throwing in his last two outings, allowing just one walk over six innings. Of course he also has only one strikeout in those six innings, but he's not down here to rack up the punch-outs. The Cubs already know he can do that. He's down here to improve his control and cut-down the number of pitches he throws per inning.
Today's game also featured three really nice defensive players by the Cubs, including a sliding catch of a pop up in short CF by 2009 #1 draft pick Brett Jackson in the 4th, a full-speed running shoestring catch by 17-year old Korean LF Kyung-Min Na on a pop up in short left-center in the 8th, and a probable game-saving running catch in RF foul territory (and then a flawless a spin & throw to 3rd to keep the base-runner at 2nd base) by 2009 2nd round pick D. J. LeMahieu with no outs in the bottom of the 9th.
LeMahieu played SS at LSU, but I think it's fairly obvious that the Cubs think that the athletic LeMahieu's future is at 2B. He has spent many hours at Instructs working with minor league infield instructor Franklin Font on his DP footwork from the second-baseman's side of the bag (which requires different footwork and an altered rhythm than is the case when turning the DP from shortstop), and hopefully he will take what he has learned at Instructs into the 2010 season, where he will probably begin the year at Daytona.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1a. Logan Watkins, DH #1: 1-3 (1B, L-9, L-1 DP)
1b. Richard Jones, PH: 1-1 (HR), R, RBI
2. D. J. LeMahieu, 2B: 1-4 (4-6-3 DP, 1B, F-9, L-8)
3. Brett Jackson, CF: 0-4 (F-8, F-8, F-8, F-7)
4. Brandon Guyer, RF: 2-3 (1B, F-8, 1B), R, CS
5. Ryan Flaherty, SS: 1-3 (F-7, 4-3, 3B), RBI
6. Michael Brenly, C-DH: 0-3 (P-3, P-6, P-8)
7. Jovan Rosa, DH-C: 0-3 (K, 6-3, K)
8. Matt Cerda, 3B: 1-3 (P-2, 1B, 4-3)
9. Justin Bour, 1B: 2-3 (1B, 1B, 4-3)
10. Kyung-Min Na, LF: 0-3 (F-9, K, L-6)
1. Chris Rusin - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 PO, 2/1 GO/FO, 15 pitches (12 strikes)
2. Chris Archer - 3.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K, 4/5 GO/FO, 43 pitches (26 strikes)
3. Nick Struck - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HBP, 1 BALK, 2/2 GO/FO, 30 pitches (19 strikes)
4. Jose Rosario - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 1/1 GO/FO, 15 pitches (7 strikes)
5. Steve Grife - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP, 2/1 GO/FO, 18 pitches (9 strikes)
Michael Brenly - 0-1 CS
Jovan Rosa - 1 PB
WEATHER: 70's & overcast first-pitch, then mostly sunny by noon
Re: 9th Inning PH HR Drives Cubs to Victory
Hey Phil a couple questions. Any ideas on why Brenly and Falherty are in instructs? Are the Cubs already decided on Cerda as a utility guy, or are they trying to find his best position?
Re: 9th Inning PH HR Drives Cubs to Victory
Thanks as always. Hopefully Cerda shows you something here in this next few weeks - hard not to root for him.

Re: 9th Inning PH HR Drives Cubs to Victory
Hey Phil a quick question --
Who do you project as starting at Double A next year?
Play for Attendance Stats
shows the obvious (what else is PRogers good for?), that really bad teams don't draw (except for KC)
Empty seats: The final numbers are in, and MLB was down almost 6.7 percent in total attendance.
The relative lack of playoff races was the final blow in a season in which the down economy made life challenging for marketing directors and advertising salesmen.
The biggest total decreases were in New York, where smaller stadium capacities contributed to drops of 22 percent for the Mets and 12.7 percent for the Yankees. On a percentage basis, nine teams were down at least 15 percent, including the Blue Jays (21.8), Nationals (21.7), Padres (20.8), Tigers (19.8), Indians (18.6), A's (15.4), Reds (15.1) and Diamondbacks (15.0).
Nine teams picked up attendance. The biggest gain was in Kansas City,...up 13.9 percent.
Bradley stuff....
Rays will only consider acquiring Bradley if Cubs eat so much salary Rays could release him at any time without financial hit.
Re: Bradley stuff....
Isn't that exactly what every GM is going to say when Hendry first calls? It's not like a team is going to leak "we're willing to pay $5 million for Bradley over the next two years", when they know retardo has already just about destroyed his trade leverage.
Not saying that it's not true, but did their opinion of Bradley really change so much that a guy they were willing to give $8 million to a year ago they'd only commit $800K to now?
Re: Bradley stuff....
Just keep him Hendry. Paint a yellow spot at the end of the bench and tell him to stay there during games. Surround him with shrinks and masseurs. Use him for what he's suited for, a part time outfielder and bat boy. Let him do his little take-me-out-of-the-ball-game stat packing routine and by mid-season he'll be tradeable.

Keep expecting Torii Hunter to say "we would have never got here if we had Milton Bradley" in this post-game interview.
A whole lot of Cubbery going on in these playoffs so far. What odds could you have gotten on a Nathan, Paplebon and Franklin 0-3 in save opportunities trifecta?
Re: Bradley stuff....
well bradley's problem isn't what he's doing on the field. no one wants to get rid of fukudome or bench him.
Re: Bradley stuff....
Wrong. I want to get rid of Fukudome. He sucks, I'm tired of his whirling dervish act and frigid, ice-cold, month-long streaks of ineptitude. He doesn't drive in runs, he has just barely enough speed to be a liability on the base paths when he decides to steal, and overall he is just a very middling player. $13MM a year for nice defense and a OK-ish OBP for three months out of the year is a joke.
But of course, fat boy Hendry in all his wisdom gave Dome a NTC, so fat chance he goes anywhere. Nice move (again), Jimbo.
The Cubs have had a hole in RF since Sosa left and still haven't fixed it, but CF has been a hole for this franchise FOREVER, jeez. Four decent years from Rick Monday, some nice play from Eric Young and Brian McRae briefly, one excellent year from Bobby Dernier and two great months from Kenny Lofton. That's it since the 60s, awful.
Re: Bradley stuff....
fine, everyone but this guy...and probably some others, too.
Re: Bradley stuff....
Ryne Sandberg played some pretty good CF for us too.
Glanville and CP had a couple nice seasons between them. Walton won a ROY.
I have been working on the Sosa to Cubs right fielders = Santo to Cubs third basemen. Hopefully it won't be 25 years, though.
Re: Bradley stuff....
"Ryne Sandberg played some pretty good CF for us too"

More Bradley/Burrell
Unless the Rays find a taker for Burrell and his $9 million salary (a chatted-about deal with the Cubs for Milton Bradley appears unlikely)
The Cubs may want it thought otherwise to stir interest, but there has been little recent talk and slim chances for a Bradley-Burrell deal.

IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.
The reports that they offered EITHER Jimenez or Torres for Chapman are a little disconcerting. I hope 1) Those reports are wrong, and 2) if they are not wrong, that they will hold on to him, as the team could use the outfield depth. I have only seen him in the futures game, but he looks like a keeper.
Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.

This is the second time I have stayed at this resort. It is a large resort. The staff are great and the food was very good. The best change that they made was that no reservations are required for the specialty restaurants. The management do not go out of their way to accomodate guests. We were there to attend a wedding. On my advise 18 people from England booked at the hotel, making a wedding party of 20 people who booked into the resort on my say so. The day of the wedding the managment would not send a golf cart to our room to take my wife in her in a long dress to the other side of the resort for the ceremony. We had to walk thru the pool area in the scorching heat grab a train to take us to the sight of the wedding. The thing that upset me the most was the constant harassment of staff about buying a time share or as they call it the Palladium Travel Club. Very rude presentation wanting me to buy a 6 thousand dollar package on the spot. The closer was extremley rude and would not take no for an answer.When you pay 4 thousand plus for a two week vacation, you should not be hounded in the lobby or any were else to buy their package!!!! All in all it was worth the money and we had a great time. Would consider going again.

Neglected 104-year-old Spartanburg woman dies
Published: Friday, December 14, 2012 at 11:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 14, 2012 at 11:04 a.m.
A 104-year-old Spartanburg woman found sitting in her own feces with maggots inside her large, untreated wounds died at the hospital Thursday evening.
The Spartanburg County Coroner's Office said Demetra Leventis died at 6:45 p.m. at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.
The charge against Leventis's son, 63-year-old George Leventis, has been upgraded to abuse or neglect of a vulnerable adult resulting in death.
As of 6:30 p.m. Friday, he had not been arrested on the upgraded charge.
Coroner Rusty Clevenger said in a written statement that the cause of Leventis's death is pending microscopic analysis.
A home health nurse called police after she went to the Hillbrook Drive home on Dec. 4 for the first time and found Demetra Leventis sitting in her own feces, an incident report states. The nurse told police that she asked George Leventis for help in cleaning up his mother and he told the nurse to do it tomorrow because he had a doctor's appointment and told the nurse to leave, the report stated.
After the nurse called police, they found the woman slumped over on the couch wearing a short shirt and wrapped in a sheet, the report stated.
The report stated that paramedics had to "peel" the woman off the couch and she was unable to talk to emergency workers.
Investigators noted "hoarder-like" conditions in the house and that the woman's mattress was stained with urine and feces was on the carpet and walls, police said.
George Leventis was released on Dec. 6 from the Spartanburg County Detention Center on $25,000 bond.

Nintendo DS
Cross over to a brand new world!
Players make their own stories. A player and up to three friends move into a village and just live life, extend a home, interact with their neighbors and explore the village.
Much of the cast of the original Animal Crossing returns, including animals of all shapes and personality types: K.K. Slider, Tom Nook, Blathers, Mr. Resetti and more. There are also a number of new characters.
How to Progress through the Game
Players move into village, buy a small house and then do whatever they want. Time and seasons pass as they do in the real world, so there will always be something unpredictable happening. Collect or buy items, talk to neighbors, go fishing, catch bugs, dig up treasure or hang out with human friends.
Special Features
Tap the Touch Screen to type letters, draw designs for clothing or wallpaper, drag clothing or items onto characters or just lead them around the world. Using DS to DS play or Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, players can hang out in real time with up to three friends.
For more information on this game's Wi-Fi capabilities, visit this game's hub on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connecton web site.
As of May 20, 2014, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service for Nintendo DSi and Wii systems has been retired. Online features of this game are no longer available after this date but this game still provides an entertaining experience in offline mode.

Players move into a living, breathing world inside the Nintendo DS...and then invite their friends to visit from anywhere on earth.
•In this sequel to the wildly popular Nintendo GameCube game, players and up to three friends can hang out in the same village and interact in real time – either through wireless LAN or over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Now players can visit a friend's village from thousands of miles away.
•The Touch Screen makes item management and world navigation a breeze. Typing letters and designing patterns are now just stylus strokes away.
•Days and seasons pass in real time, so whether players want to decorate their homes, catch bugs or fish, collect brand-new items like hats and sunglasses or just chat with the wild and wacky characters in their villages, there's always something to do.

research statement
Audrey Tyrka's research is focused on the identification of endophenotypes, or latent risk factors, for psychiatric disorders. Her early prospective work identified behavioral and psychological markers of the later development of schizophrenia and eating disorders. More recently, she has focused on stress reactivity and neuroendocrine function as a marker of risk for mood and anxiety disorders. Her research involves two major types of investigations: 1) studies of the biological, psychological, and social underpinnings of mood and anxiety disorders, and 2) studies of the efficacy of novel treatments for mood disorders. She is conducting several investigations of subjects at risk for mood and anxiety disorders by virtue of their family history, genotype, neuroendocrine reactivity, or adverse experiences. These potentially vulnerable individuals are studied in comparison to patients with major depression and healthy controls with regard to genes linked to depression and stress reactivity, neuroendocrine function, history of adverse life experiences, social support, personality and emerging psychiatric symptomatology. The goal of this work is to discover individual factors and interactions among factors that produce risk for mood and anxiety disorders and, ultimately, to use this information to guide prevention and treatment efforts. A second line of research involves efforts to advance the treatment of major depression. Our group has investigated several new treatments for depression, including novel pharmacologic and neurostimulation approaches to the treatment of major depression and treatment resistant depression.

|The aim of this article is to describe and compare the methods based on random graphs (RGs) which are applied to learn and recognize 3D objects represented by multiple views. These methods are based on modelling the objects by means of probabilistic structures that keep 1st and 2nd-order probabilities. That is, multiple views of a 3D object are represented by few RGs. The most important probabilistic structures presented in the literature are first-order random graphs (FORGs), function-described graphs (FDGs) and second-order random graphs(SORGs). In the learning process, each one of the 3D-object views are represented by an attribute graph (AC), and a group of AGs are synthesized in a RG. In the recognizing process, the view of the object is represented by an AG and then it is compared with the RG that model each one of the 3D-object prototypes. In this paper, it is explained the modelling of the 3D-objects and the methods of learning and recognition based on FORGs, FDGs and SORGs. We show some results of the methods for real 3D objects.

If you are a resident, parking shouldn't be an issue with Red parking passes. However, if you are a commuter, it is quite important to invest in a second tier parking pass, Gold. Green spots (lowest tier) tend to fill up quickly and can be out of the way leading to delays
The parking at my school is crazy. You have to leave home early to get a spot. Spots mostly fill around late in the morning so if you don't leave early then you got to wait for a long time. It will be worse if you wait and you're almost late for class or a test.
It gets filled up at night, the dorm parking lots. But in the day, its decent.
The parking department is terrible. Worse on my list than the professors and classes. They are rude and liars. The cost is unacceptable, and they are always giving tickets. Each one will give you a ticket as they walk by. 2...3...4 a day? Yep. Insane.
Parking cost is of course too high, and seeing as how most students commute to campus it can be a major pain to find a spot.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
UT Dallas car owners love to whine about parking, but, as it turns out, the parking experience essentially depends on each student's conditions and habits. If you live relatively close to campus and can afford to arrive on campus before 9 or 10 a.m., parking is easy. However, for those long-distance commuters who enjoy lying in bed until 11, finding a vacant space can turn into a real nightmare of driving around the lots and following people walking to their cars in the hope of them driving away—don't forget to rage at them if they simply go back for their phones. Overall, campus parking requires students to walk a bit, but it's still much better than in older campuses elsewhere, which were first built for a handful of wealthy gentlemen in their horse carts. On top of that, UT Dallas is constantly expanding existing lots and adding new ones, so parking is expected to get even better in a few years.
It may surprise many students that, compared to other big schools, UT Dallas charges a relatively low parking rate, and the tickets are reasonable. Make no mistake: Authorized personnel work diligently to give you tickets, which can add up quickly to hurt your finances. However, they cost nowhere near the outrageous amounts some students claim them to be, especially if you're not stupid enough to park in a fire lane or disabled space without permission.

Nice serie of New Year's eve,Ainars,beautiful light and the touch of the snow.No people in the streets...Ciao Daniela
Ciao, Daniela, I wish You all the best in New Year too! And many thanks for Your first visit in this Year! :)
This new Year eve was special for me with new tradition. To shorten time till we wait for end of year, we walk around the streets. Thanks God, there was not deep below zero temperatures and no snowstorms. Today, in late TV news we heard, than there was many more like we are, and about 5000 peoples sing or dance on streets till wait for very first moments of new Year. Might be this tradition are typical for countries in central or south Europe, but this is something very new for Latvia!

Austria's Anna Fenninger picked up her second World Cup win of the season in Sunday's Super-G to deny Maria Hoefl-Riesch a win on her home course.
The 23-year-old, who won the world super combined title on the Khandahar course here in 2011, clocked 1min 20.43sec with Germany's Hoefl-Riesch second at 0.20sec back with Julia Mancuso of the United States third at 0.23sec.
It was Fenninger's second win of the season having won the giant slalom in Semmering, Austria, in December.
Overall World Cup winner Tina Maze, who won Saturday's downhill here, finished fourth at 0.43sec back to add to her record tally of 2074 points having eclipsed Hermann Maier's previous mark of 2000 set in the 1999-2000 season.
Hoefl-Riesch was denied a 25th win of her career in front of her home crowd having finished third in Saturday's downhill.
Having won last year's Super-G race here, Mancuso, whose boyfriend Aksel Lund Svindal clinched the men's World Cup super-G title Sunday with his fifth victory of the season in Kvitfjell, Norway, was denied a golden day for the couple.

Ok my questions comes from an example from a book that i'm trying to understand.Keep in mind i just got into javascript.
So we have the object set and we define the function foreach. It takes another function as a parameter and invokes it for every item of an array "values" that belongs to set.
set.foreach = function(f,c) {
for(var i = 0; i < this.values.length; i++)
So far so good..
But i can't understand the usage of the foreach function in the second snipet.In particular i don't understand the role of the variable v. It is not defined enywhere else in the book and i m having a really hard time to understand how this work.We define another function in set to take the values as an array
set.toArray = function() {
var a = [];
this.foreach(function(v) { a.push(v); }); //where did v came from???
return a;

Closed and Vented Loudspeaker Alignments that Compensate for Nearby Room Boundaries
The purpose of this paper is to present a method of designing loudspeakers in which the presence of the nearest three boundaries are taken into account in the design of the low frequency speaker. The paper will first review the effects of the three boundaries. It will then discuss how these effects might be compensated for. The paper will then examine the low frequency behavior of loudspeaker drive units, and make suggestions for new alignments, which take account of the boundaries. It will conclude with some simulation examples.

Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are very important to the success of Great Sand Dunes. They serve in all branches of the park's operations, including trails, computer database management, Visitor Center operations, interpretive programs, and campground hosting. Some serve a few days a year for special events, while others live in the park and work a 40 hour week. To inquire about volunteer options and opportunities, please email Eric Valencia or call him at 719-378-6349. Thanks for your interest in volunteering!

Skip to comments.A day in the life of President Bush (photos): 12/10/04
Posted on 12/10/2004 6:11:28 PM PST by MJY1288
This morning President Bush nominated Deputy Treasury Secretary Sam Bodman as his choice for energy secretary and later on President Bush helped fill care packages with volunteers at an Operation USA Care Package stuffing facility in Fort Belvoir, Virginia
Dose Ping
Almost first?
Rock on Dubya!
Wish I was at Fort Belvoir today!!!
I went to a USO care package stuffing day when the warehouse was at Fort Meade, Md and it was a wonderful experience. When I called to volunteer for the next month, I learned that the operation had been moved to Virginia.
Construction underway for the inaugural
g'day Mike and thanks for the ping!
Thank you!
Good evening, I just got home from work and am happy to see these so early! I think we have a president who really cares about our troops! Thanks to you all for the welcome last night, I appreciate it.
I have been watching the live webcam as they build the platform.
I don't know why....it's really not all that exciting yet! But it will be fun later as they decorate, probably.
Thanks, Mike.....
Hows life downunder?
Montana....welcome....and WHERE in Montana are YOU? (My dad was born in Sidney, and I have friends in Bozeman....I LOVE Montana.)
Welcome!! :0)
What is the URL for that webcam?
Greetings from England and a belated welcome to the dose I find it so additive despite how late it goes up I cannot go to bed before I have checked in.
hiya snugs! things are fine here; just finished working (Saturday morning) some overtime on Microchipping Day. We had a pretty successful morning. How are things in your neck of the woods?
Thanks, Mike, for the Dose! I actually get a chance to catch it LIVE! I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year.
Good evening :o)
is that a little like "almost pregnant" ? :)
hey isn't this a family-safe thread... ;)
You ROCK!
Lol, well at least this guy is a little less scary-looking than John Snow.
Thanks for thread Mike. wonder if he slipped any notes into the bags.
wouldn't that be a hoot? troop opens his goodie bag....hmm. candy bar, guy, magazine, note from CIC !!!!!!
Fairly good mum is settling in the home, they had a pantomime for the residents earlier in the week and the local Parish Church did a service today which mum attended. She is eating well and gets on the with staff so I feel is actually happier there than she was latterly at home.
silly! (almost as silly as me !)
I'm working on it snugs. I saved it as live webcam and I can't figure out how to get the url.
So, I'm emailing it to myself to see if that sends it.
Be back soon...
Hi Dolly
'...cannot go to bed before I check in...'
Hi snugs! I feel the exact same way....no matter what time and how tired I am...I have to look in on the dose. I think, I'll just take a quick look. But, once I'm on, forget it....not only do I look at the great pics but I also have to read the posts to see how the wonderful 'dose family' is doing.
snugs , I have been following your situation & story w/mum.. I have been caregiver for mine here in her home for 12 + years.
It is rewarding, frustrating, fun, hell.. and often all within 10 minutes
oz...what is a "microchipping day" ?
Good evening, thanks for the pix. I was reading that Monday is when the electoral college casts its votes. We can expect massive outbreaks of PEST from the libs after that.
There is another FReeper...frosh at Iowa.. will FReepmail you her email addy & info
How old is your mum and what is her main problem? I don't know if Oz is still about but I would suspect micro chipping she is referring to puppies and cats being microchipped as she works at a vets.
I agree with every word of your post and I am doing it now as really I ought to go to bed LOL
Were there any photos from Bush giving a personal tour to Vote Or Die guy P. Diddy (Sean "Puffy / Puff Daddy" Combs) on day of the Kennedy Center Honors?
That is great to hear about your Mum; it must be a load off you and your Dad to know that your Mum is safe and happy. You have all been through so much...What are your plans at Christmas?
Better double-check that workmanship, Mr. President. Beware union goons in these uncertain times.
Actually, that photo adds a sense of finality to this election cycle. I can begin to breath easier.
Just pinged you to a Tammy update w/pic....sorry I can't do a live link...
It was a fairly successful morning and we only got verbally abused once! LOL. We were told we should be spending taxpayers money in a better way. I politely asked the "gentleman" to make sure that the gate didn't hit him too hard on the way out and to have a Merry Christmas.....Can't win 'em all!
Even though our Christmas Day is in the middle of summer my Mum still cooks the traditional dinner - turkey and all the trimmings. Even when the weather is near 100 degrees outside! And she makes her homemade fruit mince pies (with the Robertsons Fruit Mince) as well as trifle (Yum!).
We can get Mr Kiplings Fruit Mince Pies here at this time of the year and they are yummy too.
Here is the url for the Inauguration website and the link to the camera is on that page.
The web cam is down temporarily, but it is a nice clear shot when it is working.
This is the first time it's been down.
What a fun thought! I hope he did that.
Oh, ha ha.

Thanks, Becky, for the great recipe. Quick, easy and extremely good. Just added more shrimp, because my family really loves shrimp!
My boyfriend just said, "This is AWESOME!" I didn't use the green onions, but used a 1/2 cup of a frozen and chopped onion, celery, and pepper mix. I also added chopped garlic, an additional egg, about 1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms, and some no salt seasoning. Yummy! This is definitely going to get made again!
This is good but needed a boost. I'd definitely add more veggies and an additional egg. Very easy and great for an Asian themed dinner.

Leah Thorvilson brings running and reconstructing to Little Rock
July 21-27, 2014
By Molly Baltzer
Leah Thorvilson is an Elite American Marathoner who made her way to Little Rock 15 years ago, when she had an opportunity to move here on a Track and Field and Cross-Country scholarship after graduating from Armstrong High School in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. Today Thorvilson continues to train for long distant marathons, including the 2016 Olympic Trials Marathon. In the midst of training, Thorvilson also maintains her career life working as the Director of Development for the Athletic Department at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR).
Thorvilson has always been athletic, participating on the dance team and throwing discus in High School, but didn't know how much success marathons would bring her until after gaining experience over different distances of running in college. Through mutual friends, Thorvilson got in touch with the coach of Track and Field and Cross-Country at UALR, Kirk Elias. Coach Elias saw the potential Thorvilson carried with her ability to run and offered her a scholarship to UALR. "It wasn't an easy decision for me to make, moving across the country, but I thought I am not going to get an opportunity like this again," Thorvilson said.
Graduating from UALR in the fall of 2003, Thorvilson decided to try her first marathon in 2004, where she really found her passion. "I qualified for Boston, which is a big deal," she said. "A lot of people train their whole life for that."
Some of her biggest marathon moments include being a four-time winner of the Little Rock Marathon, competing in the Olympic Trial Marathons of 2012 and running the fastest 50-mile time ever recorded for an American woman. Throughout her running career Thorvilson said, "Coach Elias became my biggest mentor and supporter. He was always encouraging me on how to get to where he believed I was capable of getting."
Along with the many accomplishments that have come from running marathons, Thorvilson, as Athletic Director of Development, helps students get the college experience they want. "UALR appeals to students who are looking for a college experience, and who also want to run for a D1 university," Thorvilson said.
By coordinating fundraiser events, planning coaches luncheons and working with donor relations, Thorvilson works towards upgrading the athletic department. "It would be the type of mission that I would want to support at any university, but seeing it's for the one I came from, that makes it personal to me. It's very special and I am very fortunate to have this opportunity," she said.
Some of the big events the Athletic Department put on are the Live and Silent Auction and SpectacUALR. "SpectacUALR is my big event, we are working on it now and formed a committee for it in February," Thorvilson stated. "But the actual event is in October."
The event, which raises scholarship dollars and funds for facility upgrades, honors someone who has had a large impact on UALR in a variety of ways. This year's honoree is Betty Jo Stephens, a pioneer in women's athletics at UALR.
Thorvilson is also working on the "second phase" of the track complex at UALR. She said, "they already built the track which is in use, but we would like to get the soccer team, runners and golfers into their own space, that is suitable to them." The next step and goal for Thorvilson is to raise money to get locker rooms and update the coaches' offices.
Balancing her running and career life, Thorvilson had to give up personal life and free time admitting, "It's challenging. You have to know something is going to give and for me that's personal life. But I have enough of a personal life for me." She is willing to sacrifice in order to keep succeeding with marathons and building the athletic department.
Thorvilson's time commitment and hard work for the athletic department pays off, as the program is continually restructuring and growing for the better. In return Thorvilson said she gets a Little Rock family. "Little Rock continues to grow and develop but still has a small town feel to me. I have a family of people… everyone is supportive."
During her running career Thorvilson has suffered injuries, two of them forcing her to undergo surgery. "I never had to ask for anything (while recovering from reattaching her hamstring). People were constantly asking if I needed anything, which just enhanced my opinion on having a family of people in Little Rock."
Although her schedule is filled with training and finding sponsorships for UALR athletics, she still has time to enjoy her adopted hometown. Thorvilson said, "The city is growing and developing, especially with the river trail system and bridges. You can go for 30 or more miles without overlapping a trail." This dedicated runner and worker has future goals that involve training for upcoming marathons, one being the 2016 Olympic Trial Marathons, and building the UALR Athletic Department into a strong program by updating the facilities and raising money for athlete scholarships.

How to turn back the clock
by AMY ANDERSON, Daily Mail
28/02/2002 11:11:59
Last week, researchers at the University of California discovered that by feeding rats a combination of two antioxidants, they could slow down the animals' neurological and physical ageing processes by up to 40 per cent.
Antioxidants destroy free radicals - harmful by-products of the processes in the body that turn oxygen into energy.
Free radicals attack the body's tissues and, over time, cause or contribute to the symptoms of ageing, from memory loss to wrinkles, to cancer and circulatory disorders.
Here, we look at some of the most effective antioxidants and other anti-ageing products on the market, and explains how they can keep you youthful.
Green tea
Odd couple: Michael Jackson with his former wife Lisa Marie Presley
Green tea - the natural dried leaf of the tea plant - is high in polyphenols, a class of bioflavonoids which are powerful natural antioxidants.
The polyphenols in green tea are called catechins.The most important catechin in green tea is Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG).
EGCG is more than 200 times more powerful than Vitamin E in neutralising free radicals that attack lipids in the brain, and 20 times more potent than Vitamin E in reducing the formation of peroxides (enzymes that aid the oxidisation process).
EGCG has been shown to protect against digestive and respiratory infections. It also helps blocks carcinogens and protects the skin from ultraviolet light. Green tea can be found in most supermarkets and health food shops.
Wheatgrass comes from Red Wheatberry, a special strain of wheat that produces high concentrations of chlorophyll, active enzymes, vitamins and other nutrients. Wheatgrass juice is extracted from wheatgrass pulp (humans cannot digest straight wheatgrass) and is considered to be a powerful antioxidant for the blood.
Chlorophyll makes up more than 70per cent of the solid content of wheatgrass juice. It closely resembles the molecules of human red blood cells, as both chlorophyll and haemoglobin share a similar atomic structure.
Wheatgrass juice has been found to increase haemoglobin production. It also helps purify the liver, improve digestion and reduce high blood pressure.
Dosage: Start out with 1-2 oz of wheatgrass juice per day for the first week, which can gradually be increased to 4oz a day. Wheatgrass juice can be bought at most good health food stores.
Herbal elixir
Many specialists believe that absorption of synthetic chemicals in the foods we eat and dioxins and petrochemicals in the air may contribute to an acceleration of the ageing process, making detoxification crucial to anti-ageing.
The organs of detoxification are the liver and kidneys, aided by the digestive tract and the skin. Signs that the liver is not coping include skin problems such as liver spots, discoloured patches, spots and boils, tiredness and lethargy. Plants such as artichoke, wormwood, dandelion and gentian are known for stimulating the liver.
Classic signs that the kidneys cannot cope are aches and pains in muscles and joints, caused by a build-up of substances such as uric acid. Celery, dandelion and nettle are diuretics: they increase the amount of urine passed by stimulating the kidneys, so reducing symptoms of toxicity.
A blend of these plant extracts can be found in Green People's Herbal Elixir blend, which should be diluted with water and drunk once a day.
It costs £19.95 for 150ml (two months supply). To order, tel: 01444 401 444.
Acetyl-l-carnitine (ACL)
ACL is a powerful antioxidant. Studies at the University of California have found that ACL supplementation increases levels of an important brain molecule called acetylcholine, which becomes deficient in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
By increasing levels of acetylcholine, ACL helps our memory work better. It also protects against loss of receptors in brain cells, without which we cannot form memories.
Other studies have found that ACL helps prevent damage that can occur to nerve cells when there is a lack of oxygen in the brain. In studies, stroke victims have been found to recover better on 1,500mg of ACL per day than those taking a placebo.
ACL also helps maintain the protective sheath around the nerves called the myelin, without which our nerves cannot transmit their messages effectively, and suggests that ACL might be useful in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
ACL should not be taken without medical supervision by pregnant women, those on prescription medication, or sufferers from epilepsy or depression. Recommended dosage is one 250mg capsule per day taken with juice or water in between meals.
Price: £28.95 for 30. From health food shops.
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)
ALA is the second super antioxidant that was used in the Californian study. Though ALA is produced naturally in the body, researchers weren't aware of its existence until the 1930s. It is an essential coenzyme and a vital component of the metabolism of glucose into energy. It is also a powerful biological antioxidant.
In recent years, research into antioxidants revealed that vitamin E works as an antioxidant. But scientists found that vitamin E needs to be 'recycled'by vitamin C in the body in order to work, a process which requires the presence of a substance called glutathione.
Studies found ALA to be more powerful than either vitamin E or C, while single-handedly regenerating glutathione, giving cells a double dose of antioxidant protection. Studies have found that ALA could also have far-reaching consequences in the prevention of chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
And because it's the only antioxidant that can easily get into the brain, it could be useful in preventing damage from a stroke and neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. ALA should not be taken without medical supervision by pregnant women, those on prescription medication, or suffering from epilepsy or depression. Recommended dosage: One 200mg capsule per day.
Price: £28.59 for 50. From health food shops.

Sorry to resurrect an oldie, but this is actually in my wheelhouse, if I have one. Reminds me a lot of the Barn Facade case.... or even the Meditations. This type of deception is taken to a whole new level, in that our eyes see everything in the image/photo correctly, and yet do not see what is really there. Our eyes in this case are not what is deceiving us, however. An evil geniu... a jerk is deceiving us, using our most trusted sensory perception against us - seeing is believing, correctly or no.
In summary - images cannot be trusted when seen live with your own eyes, far less so when seen in print.
This is a different conclusion though, than what your thread title suggests. As GTA:SWcity noted, advertising makes great use of images/imagery, and so in that sense images hold tremendous value today, perhaps more value than ever, even if the image is a construct.

A Two-Microphone Technique for the Measurement of Acoustic Waveguide Impedance
The goals of this investigation are to demonstrate the viability of the two-microphone technique for measuring acoustic impedances, and to examine impedance measurements of acoustic waveguides of the oblate spheroidal design. An impedance tube using the two-microphone technique was constructed and tested. Impedance measurements were made on waveguides of oblate spheroidal design, and on acoustic horns of conventional design. Finally, the impedance measurements for the oblate spheroidal waveguide are compared to the predictions of the acoustic waveguide theory.

There was some convection along the front, but it was from the Cities northward.

One of the two Tauranga men on trial accused of manufacturing
$2.3m of P, claims it was impossible to have done so given
the chemicals and equipment he had access to and the cooking
method he used.
P-cook Wallace Scott Bramley, 38, who was giving evidence in
the High Court at Rotorua yesterday, insisted he had only
manufactured methamphetamine once between March 2 and 9, 2010
which was on March 7, during which he produced approximately
During questioning by his lawyer Paul Mabey, QC, Bramley said
he had been the partner and P-cook in his and his co-accused
Royce Allan Duncan's drug dealing business.
Duncan, 49, from Omanawa, and Bramley had earlier been
convicted of a raft of P manufacturing charges, including the
March 7, 2010 cook-up.
Bramley described his production method to the jury and the
amounts of psuedoephedrine hydrochloride he obtained during
the extraction phase of the March 7 cook-up.
Under cross examination by the prosecutor, Bramley insisted
he had never cooked up 2.35kg of methamphetamine in his life.
Bramley said the rate of methamphetamine production during
that cook up was a gram a minute, and on that basis the
amount of P the Crown claimed he was capable of producing on
March 2-3, 2010 was "impossible" - it would have taken almost
40 hours.
On March 4, 2010 he was in Auckland with $115,000 trying to
buy some more Contac NT to be used for a cook-up, he said.
Bramley insisted a text message reference to 2350 he and
Duncan had discussed in the days leading up to March 7 was
the quantity of hypophosphorous acid he needed to complete
the cooking process that day, not the amount of P he had
Former policeman and real estate agent Nigel David Walker,
47, who is also on trial, has denied conspiring with Duncan
to money launder some of Duncan's drug dealing proceeds.
The trial continues today.

Workers' Compensation
Category archives for Workers' Compensation
The scheming by Jackson Kelly attorneys to deny coal miners with black lung disease modest compensation is immoral. If coal companies are sincere about their workers being their "most precious resource," they should dump the law firm.
Fair working standards for construction workers and financial profit for developers aren't incompatible, according to a new report from Texas' Workers Defense Project. In fact, consumers are actually willing to pay more to live in places built on principles of safety, economic justice and dignity.
An analysis of data from U.S. emergency departments reveals that 40 percent of work-related injuries and illnesses cases treated there are not paid for through the workers' compensation system.
Texas construction workers who've lost their lives on unsafe worksites may be gone, but they certainly haven't been forgotten. Earlier this week, hundreds of Texas workers and their supporters took to the streets to demand legislators do more to stop preventable injury and death on the job.
Texas may boast a booming construction sector, but a deeper look reveals an industry filled with wage theft, payroll fraud, frighteningly lax safety standards, and preventable injury and death. In reality, worker advocates say such conditions are far from the exception — instead, they've become the norm.
Dr. Paul Demers says he frequently finds himself having to make the case for why studying workplace exposures to carcinogens is important. Oftentimes, he says, people believe such occupational dangers are a thing of the past. But a new four-year study he's leading could change all that.
A survey of more than 1,000 union carpenter apprentices describes how production pressure can compromise safety and how suffering an on-the-job injury can compromise your job security. The frank comments from workers who have the protection of a union makes me wonder how bad it must be for non-union workers.
Researchers studying workers' compensation claims have found that almost one in 12 injured workers who begin using opioids were still using the prescription drugs three to six months later. It's a trend that, not surprisingly, can lead to addiction, increased disability and more work loss – but few doctors are acting to prevent it.
It's Tuesday evening and as usual, the small parking lot outside the Workers Defense Project on Austin's eastside is packed. The dusty lot is strewn with cars and pick-up trucks parked wherever they can fit and get in off the road. I've arrived well before the night's activities begin, so I easily secure a spot. But my gracious guide and translator, a college intern named Alan Garcia, warns me that I might get blocked in. It happens all the time, he says.
Houston, we have a workers' rights problem: Profile of a worker justice center in Texas' biggest city
Last month, more than 70 ironworkers walked off an ExxonMobil construction site near Houston, Texas. The workers, known as rodbusters in the industry, weren't members of a union or backed by powerful organizers; they decided amongst themselves to unite in protest of unsafe working conditions in a state that has the highest construction worker fatality rate in the country.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The Florida mother charged with murdering
her toddler daughter describes herself as a "victim" when talking
to her parents during a jailhouse visit last August.
Casey Anthony says she is just as much a victim as anybody else
in the case during the recorded visit with her parents at the
Orange County Jail in Orlando. Copies of the visit were released
this week.
At the time, 22-year-old Casey was in jail for charges related
to the disappearance of her daughter Caylee, but she wasn't charged
with first-degree murder until last October.
Casey Anthony cries during the conversation and gets angry when
pressed by her parents for information about where Caylee may be.
Caylee's remains were found in December.
