Some of you may not know this, but Light's death date is coming up real soon.
In the series, Light dies on January 28th 2013; this upcoming Monday.
I know that some may mourn (am I spellin' that right?) Light's tragic/unexpected death in both the manga and anime. I however, am not one of those people. I am the one that is happy bout it and instead of mourning Light's death, I mourn L's. (yeah I'm spellin' it right)
Anyway, no matter who you support (L or Light) it is truly a day to remember. So, January 18th is the day to mourn a once honorable collage student and 'God' or praise the fact that that bastard is gone for good!
(Ima little late for this...but...) Have a happy new year! :3

TAMPA, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Authorities say a New York Yankees pitching prospect has been arrested for drunken driving in Tampa.
Police say 21-year-old Omar Luis Rodriguez was pulled over early Friday morning and charged with driving under the influence. Hillsborough County jail records show he was later released on $500 bail.
Tampa officers reported Rodriguez was driving a red Mercedes the wrong direction on a one-way street. Tests determined his blood-alcohol to be 0.10 percent. Florida law considers a driver impaired at 0.08 percent.
The 6-foot-0, 210-pounder defected from Cuba in 2012 and received a multimillion-dollar signing bonus from the Yankees that year. He played in the Gulf Coast Rookie League last year.
Rodriguez drew international attention pitching for Cuba in the 2010 World Junior Baseball Championship.
The Yankees didn't comment on the arrest.

Shark Attacks the Tribe with Goose Eggs at HoHoKam Park
In what was one of the better performances by a Cubs starting pitcher at HoHoKam Park in quite some time, Jeff Samardzija showed Top-of-the-Rotation stuff while throwing six innings of shutout ball (67 pitches - 43 strikes), allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out five. Three relievers followed with three more shutout innings, as the Cubs blanked the Cleveland Indians 2-0 in Cactus League action this afternoon in Mesa, AZ.
Facing a mostly MLB-lineup, Samardzija absolutely breezed through his six innings of work, and after being relieved he went out to the bullpen and threw another 15 pitches, apparently so that he could reach his target of 80+ pitches.
If there was any doubt that Samardzija has the quality and variety of stuff and the stamina to be an MLB starting pitcher, today's outing should go a long way toward allaying those concerns. For example, he got three pop ups in a 1-2-3 4th, struck out the side with gas in a 1-2-3 5th, and got four grounders (one of which was a single) in the 6th (his last inning).
In addition to his pitching exploits, The Shark also ripped a lead-off triple into the LF alley in the bottom of the 5th, long-striding his way around the bases--like running a post-pattern at Notre Dame--before pulling into 3rd base standing up. Unfortunately the next three hitters went down on a feeble ground out and two weak pop ups to leave the Shark stranded at 3rd, but it was impressive none-the-less.
The Cub offense was equally weak against Tribe starter Josh Tomlin as the Cleveland hitters were against Samardzija, before breaking through against the obviously-tiring RHP in the bottom of the 6th.
Alfonso Soriano laced a top-spin liner to left to open the frame, and (with the Indians 1st baseman holding Soriano at 1st) Ian Stewart ripped a single through the wide-open 3.5 hole into RF with one out. Bryan LaHair and Joe Mather followed with RBI singles to plate two runs, giving the Cubs all the runs they needed.
Carlos Marmol worked the 7th, allowing a walk that was quickly erased on an inning-ending strike 'em out/throw 'em out (thanks to an on-the-dime throw to 2nd base by Steve Clevenger that nabbed Ryan Spliborghs).
James Russell allowed two hits in the 8th (a Felix Pie single and a two-out Asdrubal Cabera double), but struck out dangerous Shin-Soo Choo (swinging) on a nasty 3-2 breaking ball in the dirt to get out of the inning.
"On the bubble" for one of the last remaining slots in the Cub bullpen, Rafael Dolis worked a hitless 9th to get the save, but he did struggle with his command, walking two before getting a bat-breaking game-ending 6-3 ground out.
The defensive plays of the game were two nearly-identical over-the-shoulder catches by Starlin Castro in LF foul territory that brought back memories of Shawon Dunston. No shortstop was better than Dunston at catching pop-ups in the outfield, but Castro showed he can make those kinds of plays, too.
Castro also made another nice play on a grounder headed for CF, fielding the ball and getting off an off-balance throw to 1st baseman Bryan LaHair. The runner was called out (although it appeared that LaHair was not on the bag), but whether called safe or out, it was a very fine play indeed.
3rd baseman Ian Stewart also made a nice play on an infield chopper with a runner at 1st base and one out in the top of th 2nd, charging the ball and then rotating his body in the air to throw out the runner at 2nd base. I think Aramis Ramirez might have made the play and maybe gotten an out at 1st base, but no way A-Ram would have thrown out the lead runner at 2nd base. That took the kind of defensive skills and confidence that Stewart has that Ramirez lacks in the field.

Re: Shark Attacks the Tribe with Goose Eggs at HoHoKam Park
It'd be nice to see the Cubs beat the bad teams. Beat the bad teams and hold your own against the good teams. That's the way of baseball.
Re: Shark Attacks the Tribe with Goose Eggs at HoHoKam Park
from a Keith Law blog...
...I got to see only two swings out of Chicago Cubs outfielder Taiwan Easterling, but he's some kind of athlete, including explosive speed out of the box. There's a lot of ceiling here, assuming he finds some modicum of plate discipline -- he's a former football Florida State football player who has limited wood-bat experience, and drew just nine walks in more than 200 minor plate appearances after signing last summer.
Re: Shark Attacks the Tribe with Goose Eggs at HoHoKam Park
I think one of the most pleasant things to watch about the 2012 Cubs is the likelihood that we'll see some decent defense out in the field. Few things are as satisfying to watch than a slick-fielding major league baseball team. The Cubs aren't there yet, obviously, but for the first time in quite awhile they are moving in that direction instead of away from it, and I for one am glad to see it. Moar good glove stuff, pleez.

Re: Shark Attacks the Tribe with Goose Eggs at HoHoKam Park
AZ Phil any idea why the Cubs released Cam Greathouse? I know you had shown that he was missing from camp. Whats up with this deal?
Re: Greathouse
Goldstein tweet says he was released, think he posted it late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Greathouse's twitter account said something about "going through these hard times"
he recently had a daughter and is sick now as well.
4 days ago he was still a Cub according to a tweet.
Re: Shark Attacks the Tribe with Goose Eggs at HoHoKam Park
his hard times = the cold he has fwiw.
Re: Shark Attacks the Tribe with Goose Eggs at HoHoKam Park
Ohhhhhh. That's rough.
Recent comments
AZ PHIL: With starters the likes of Edwin Jackson, even Chris Rusin or Michael Bowden could look good on their staff. At best, he is a #5-6. But as always, LH are at a premium.
Sure we would all want consistency. He is not even 24, has played 5 (!) positions this year. Can you imagine what is in his head? He was only a part-time player at 2 spots last year. And THEN think about hitting?? Cut him some slack...You sure are picky lately. First wishing #6 NL RBI guy Russell have a better average, and now an "unncessarily fancy pick". Geez tough crowd!
it's going to be hard to take down scherzer.
kershaw is supposedly coming back soon, though he'll probably need a good amount of deep innings to match up with scherzer...probably too late at this point. tanner roark, bumgarner, and hendricks are probably going to steal some votes along with kershaw.
I absolutely love Javy's game, and I love the way Maddon changed the perception of him as a ballplayer, but I really wish he would just make the routine plays routinely. On the ground ball in the 9th, he made an unnecessarily fancy pick. He made the play, but tried the same thing last night and made an error.
How many wins does Kyle need for serious Cy Young consideration? Would 17 be enough if he leads the league in ERA? My goodness, what a season -- makes a Dartmouth alum proud.
hendricks WHIP drops to 0.98 over 159 innings after throwing 7ip 3h 1bb 4k, 0r/er
ERA down to 2.09 on the season.
crazy good.
I am pretty well fed up with the majority of home plate umps. Just terrible inconsistencies.
Oh shit forgot about that
Shark and Sczur right?
Yes, football player?- check.
If it was 2006 Hendry would be there w a Bible and a contract
he subscribes to my twitter, he's beyond TCR. #yolo #swag
Whoops. Maddon must have been reading TCR (for his daily crunch) and got confused.
kuhl is a righty, not a lefty.
i think maddon might think kuhl is a lefty, too. i wonder what the reasoning is for baez leading off vs a rightie.
"trout's one of the best, and at this point should probably win over donaldson (and should have more MVPs in the past, too), but the defensive aspect of valuing WAR still needs more tweaking...imo."
that's from my 1st post. there's no suck involved in that. maybe with a few less posts about bullshit that point would have jumped out more.

When fourteen-year-old Carlotta Walls walked up the stairs of Little Rock Central High School on September 25, 1957, she and eight other black students only wanted to make it to class. But the journey of the "Little Rock Nine," as they came to be known, would lead the nation on an even longer and much more turbulent path, one that would challenge prevailing attitudes, break down barriers, and forever change the landscape of America.
Descended from a line of proud black landowners and businessmen, Carlotta was raised to believe that education was the key to success. She embraced learning and excelled in her studies at the black schools she attended throughout the 1950s. With Brown v. Board of Education erasing the color divide in classrooms across the country, the teenager volunteered to be among the first black students--of whom she was the youngest--to integrate nearby Central High School, considered one of the nation's best academic institutions.
But for Carlotta and her eight comrades, simply getting through the door was the first of many trials. Angry mobs of white students and their parents hurled taunts, insults, and threats. Arkansas's governor used the National Guard to bar the black students from entering the school. Finally, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was forced to send in the 101st Airborne to establish order and escort the Nine into the building. That was just the start of a heartbreaking three-year journey for Carlotta, who would see her home bombed, a crime for which her own father was a suspect and for which a friend of Carlotta's was ultimately jailed--albeit wrongly, in Carlotta's eyes. But she persevered to the victorious end: her graduation from Central.
Breaking her silence at last and sharing her story for the first time, Carlotta Walls has written an inspiring, thoroughly engrossing memoir that is not only a testament to the power of one to make a difference but also of the sacrifices made by families and communities that found themselves a part of history.
Complete with compelling photographs of the time, A Mighty Long Way shines a light on this watershed moment in civil rights history and shows that determination, fortitude, and the ability to change the world are not exclusive to a few special people but are inherent within us all.

It's hard to imagine many teenagers who would handle themselves as well as Carlotta did. Every day was torture. She didn't just dodge insults; she dealt with physical harassment. Kids would knock her books over, then kick her when she bent to get them. A female student stepped on her heels, drawing blood. Through it all, Carlotta held firm. She didn't cry. Occasionally she reported instances of misconduct. But mostly, after the troopers left, she was on her own.
Carlotta's family supported her decision at great personal sacrifice. The community helped; I hadn't realized how much the NAACP was involved. The school kept closing when the governor would rather have no schools than integrated schools.
Carlotta and her friends sacrificed a large part of their teenage years. Forbidden to attend after-school activities, she joined some events at Mann, were African-Aemricans were welcome.
The most moving part of the book comes at the end, when the Little Rock 9 finally get recognition. Carlotta returns for an anniversary in Little Rock, where the president and Mike Huckabee (a very different governor from Faubus, she notes) hold the doors while she enters Central High. Later she watches Barack Obama win the election. Because she bravely walked up the steps of Central High, she says, now Barack and his family can walk up the White Hosue steps.Read more ›
I am a white woman, a few years younger than the author, who grew up in Flint, Michigan. Flint was a segregated city and, in the early 1950s, my family moved from our home, along with all of our neighbors, because a black family had moved onto our block. This was mainly instigated by the real estate people who would move in a black family and then urge the white people to sell their homes (this was known as "block busting"). I never met any black people until high school, when I volunteered at a home for the aged, and worked beside the kitchen staff who were all black. In those days, there were black neighborhoods and white neighborhoods, and segregation in housing and schools was the norm. I wonder how many younger people really understand this?
What stood out for me in reading this book was the innocence of Carlotta as she quietly decided that she would take the opportunity offered by the Brown vs.Read more ›
In the 1954 decision "Brown v. Board of Education" the U.S. Supreme Court declared that "all laws establishing segregated schools to be unconstitutional" and furthermore ordered the desegregation of all schools throughout the nation. By the time the State of Arkansas got around to complying with the Supreme Court ruling it was 1957. Governor Orval Faubus was a self proclaimed segregationist who fought integration tooth and nail from the get-go. He was not happy about but plans were moving forward to integrate the schools including Little Rock Central High School. Nine courageous young black students registered to attend Little Rock Central High in the fall of 1957. One of them was Carlotta Walls.Read more ›

Good 3.9 /5 from 352 reviews
The walls are paper thin. Don't stay here if you want to rest.
Stayed two nights for a Trophy Game Records of the World banquet. Food and drink for this event were supplied by the Hotel and all was good w/ great service. Room was very comfortable, clean and the a/c worked great. Checked out and went to Big Bend Nat'l. Park for a few days. On the way back we checked in for another night, different room which was also very comfortable, clean and good a/c. Ordered room service this time and also ate breakfast in the Hotel restaurant and the food and service were great for both.
The front desk was unfriendly, they were not rude but they could care less if you were waiting to talk to them, they ignore us for more than 5 min until I asked if they could help us. They are not very happy with third parties confirmations, we wanted an extra room and we were going to use hotels.com to process it and The guy in the front desk roll his eyes and told me that he couldn't guarantee me a room in the next 2-3 hours even tho hotel.com was processing it for the same day. The pools looked cool but they were very dirty because if all the trees and birds around the pool areas.
The stay was great. The restraunt at the hotel was terrible We enjoyed our stay other than that and will come back again.
The room was hot! The AC couldn't keep up. It was also a 2 story room. Not my favorite and no elevators on property.

Pirates fight hard
Under 16 girls team gets into junior basketball grand final.October 30, 2012 4:37am
Echuca Basketball Association hosted it biggest junior tournament earlier this month, with 79 teams coming from around regional Victoria.
The under 16A girls Echuca-Moama Pirates team played its first game against Wodonga.
Wodonga gained first possession of the ball and the intensity of the game was evident from the start.
The Pirates were struggling to make the baskets count and were down 6-2 at the 12-minute mark when the coach called a time out.
The Pirates came back and showed they could work the ball well and run a press break fluently to their advantage.
This was evident when Chelsea Atkins passed to Alyssa Clark then to Eve Gregor, Kloe Miechel and through to Vanessa Handy to make an easy basket.
There was great hustling of the ball from Atkins and Miechel, while Abby Poulton, Delaney Couroupis, Olivia Hannon and Lil Ward all contributed with intensity and precision.
At half-time the Pirates led by one point.
It was basket-for-basket in the second half, however the Pirates managed to get a small lead on the Wodonga Wolves.
Wodonga kept coming back and with only two minutes to play the Pirates were up by two points but it wasn't to be for the Pirates, going down by two points, 27 to 25.
Handy top scored with eight points, followed by Atkins (7 points), Hannon (3), Clark, Couroupis and Ward (2), Miechel (1).
In the Pirates' second match against Wangaratta Warriors, the Pirates gained first possession.
Hannon showed she could screen well in offence and Couroupis made a fantastic pass to Handy to make an easy two points for the Pirates.
At half-time the Pirates led 18 to 11.
The second half was intense as the ball moved from end to end, with the Pirates eventually winning 28-23.
The Pirates faced Shepparton next, with Gregor gaining possession and allowing the Pirates to take control.
The Shepparton Gators did not give up and continued to pressure the Pirates, however the Pirates comfortably won 46 to 18.
Castlemaine Cannons provided another tough game and physically exhausting game for the girls.
Once again the Pirates showed great hustling and strong defence to win 31 to 18.
The Pirates found themselves facing the Wodonga Wolves in the grand final.
The first 10 minutes of the game saw the Pirates down 3-6 and they were finding it hard to play as strongly as the Wolves.
Wodonga was hustling every possession the Pirates had and were pressing hard, while the Pirates were having trouble running their press break and were showing signs of fatigue.
At half-time the Pirates were down 21-9.
In the second half the Pirates tried to make baskets and doubled their score to 18 points, keeping Wodonga to 13.
But it wasn't enough for the Pirates, going down 34-18.
Top scorers were Hannon and Handy with six points each, Gregor (5) and Atkins (1).

Metta World Peace loves messing with people and seems to enjoy being in front of a camera, so you have to assume television is going to be a part of his future in some capacity. According to Deadline.com, World Peace could have his own TV show sooner rather than later. Metta's company, Artest Media Group, is reportedly in discussions with the producers of CBS hidden camera series "I Get That A Lot" to develop a new hidden camera prank series that will involve professional athletes. Here are some of the details: In addition to Metta and other professional athletes, the show's practical jokes will also include family members, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends and fans. 'Pranking and practical jokes are part of the athletic culture, so it comes naturally to Metta,' said Eric Schotz, President and CEO of ICM Partners-repped LMNO Prods. 'Metta has a great sense of humor and this show will be a natural vehicle for him to showcase a side of his personality we don't get to see on the court.' Shows like this typically don't emerge as award-winners, but I wouldn't be surprised if the artist formerly known as Ron Artest came up with some funny stuff. If the guy is capable of thinking up things like this on the spot during an interview, he would probably have a lot of success screwing with people on hidden camera.

Once in a great while, a product transcends its basic function and
becomes an icon – a cultural artifact. Most fade away as they are
eclipsed by new technology or changing tastes, but some make such an
indelible mark that their appeal never wanes. The Shure model 55SH
Series II Unidyne® Microphone is one such icon; it's the professional
audio industry's answer to the '65 Ford Mustang or a pair of Levi's 501
blue jeans.
It's been 70 years since the original Unidyne – the first single-element unidirectional microphone -- debuted in 1939. Now, the model once advertised as 'The Microphone That Needs No Name' is getting an upgrade. Shure has taken the iconic 55SH body that has been in production since 1951, dropped in a new supercardioid motor, and added some vibrant blue color. The resulting hot rod has the same retro-cool look as the original when parked on a mic stand but with a contemporary upgrade in performance.The new model probably doesn't need a name either, but it has one: the Super 55 Deluxe Vocal Microphone. The Super 55 enters the lineup sporting a high-output, vocal-friendly sound, supercardioid polar pattern, and a robust shock mount."Everybody loves the look of the 55SH Series II, but sound engineers increasingly find that they need additional clarity and gain-before-feedback," said Scott Sullivan, Shure's Senior Director of Global Product Management. "Now people don't have to choose between style and performance – the Super 55 provides equal measures of both."While incorporating new technology inside, the Super 55 pays homage to the original models released decades ago."I think the blue foam looks super awesome," said Chad Wiggins, Shure's Wired Products Category Manager. "Many people have seen only black-and-white photos of our older microphones, so they didn't know that there were colored silk screens on different model variations. The foam pop filter on the Super 55 is the same royal blue color as the silk material used on early vintage models."The Super 55's unique features include: • Modern Sound: Tailored frequency response for natural vocals and speech• High Output: Neodymium magnet and output transformer for increased sensitivity• Vintage Design: Iconic chrome-plated design with vibrant blue color additions• Supercardioid Polar Pattern: High gain-before feedback and excellent off-axis rejection• Internal Shock Mount: Minimizes handling/stage noise and ensures quiet operation• Rugged Die-Cast Steel Casing: Reliable under rigorous conditionsThe Super 55 Deluxe Vocal Microphone is now shipping and carries a two-year limited warranty. The current 55SH Series II model will continue to be available. Both products can be purchased at select retail partners. Check www.shure.com for a complete list of Authorized Dealers.Pricing and Availability • Super 55 Deluxe Vocal Microphone: $249.00 retail [$300.00 MSRP]• 55SH Series II Iconic Unidyne Vocal Microphone: $179.00 retail [$242.00 MSRP]

The Simulink® model editing environment consists of two main tools: the Library Browser and the Simulink Editor. You find the blocks for your model in the Library Browser and build the model by adding and connecting the blocks in the Simulink Editor.
Use the Library Browser to locate blocks to add to your model. To locate blocks in the library, navigate the libraries using the tree structure in the left pane or by double-clicking the libraries in the right pane. Or, search for the block using the search controls. If you want to use regular expressions, whole word search, or do a case-sensitive search, use the Search for subsystems or blocks button arrow .
When you find the block you want to use, you can drag it into your model, or you can use a context menu to add it.
You can also create your own libraries and, optionally, have them appear in the library browser. See Create a Custom Library.
Tip The Recently Used Blocks structure at the bottom of the tree contains the blocks and libraries that you used most recently from the supplied libraries.
The Simulink Editor is an intuitive tool for building models. In addition to using standard methods for working with diagrams in a vector graphics editor, the editor provides shortcuts that help you to add and connect blocks. The Simulink Editor also gives you access to the tools you need for technical operations such as importing data, simulating your model, and analyzing model performance.
The figure shows the Simulink Editor with the example model
vdp open.
The Simulink Editor has menus of commands and a toolbar of shortcuts for performing frequent operations or opening tools. Tooltips appear when you hover over the toolbar buttons. Commands also appear on context menus. Context menus appear when you right-click an object or a blank area of the editor. For example, right-click a block, and the menus display the commands relevant for working on blocks, such as clipboard and alignment operations. Some commands appear only on a context menu.
The palette along the left side of the editor provides more shortcuts. The palette shortcuts have to do with the model appearance and how you navigate the model rather than how you build and operate it. For example, the palette includes a shortcut for adding annotations and other visuals, like boxed-in areas for labeling the model. It also provides a zoom button for zooming in on a particular part of the model. The Hide/Show Explorer Bar button displays an interface that aids in navigating the model hierarchy.
The control in the lower-right corner opens additional views of the model. One such view is the interface view, which helps you to trace model interfaces. Click the control to see these views.
When you build a model in the Simulink Editor, you use common techniques for working with graphics objects. Some of these actions include:
Object selection using click, shift-click, and drag selection
Resizing objects using handles and moving objects by dragging
Clipboard operations, that is, cut, copy, and paste
Undo/redo (up to 101 operations)
Note: After you undo or redo block parameter changes, a visual cue appears that shows the current values of the affected parameters. Some parameter changes are not affected by the Undo or Redo commands. After you undo or redo changes to block parameters, use the cue to see the parameters affected.
You zoom and scroll the editing area using familiar methods, such as the commands on the View > Zoom menu. If you are using a supported touch display platform, you can pinch to zoom and swipe to scroll. The supported touch display devices include Microsoft® Windows® platforms with a Windows 7 certified or Windows 8 certified touch display and Macintosh platforms with an Apple Magic Trackpad.
The editor supports additional shortcuts for scrolling that are unique to Simulink. Shortcuts and the other interactive model building techniques are summarized in Keyboard and Mouse Actions for Simulink Modeling. For a tutorial, see Build a Simple Model.

NEW ORLEANS, March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Statins have long been known to lower cholesterol and, more recently, to decrease the risk of deep vein thrombosis (blood clots) in healthy, non-surgical patients. New, first-of-its-kind research presented today at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), found that statins, when used in conjunction with conventional blood clot prevention therapies, significantly reduced the risk for venous thromboembolic (VTE) events following total joint replacement (TJR) surgery.
The number of total hip and total knee replacement surgeries continues to rise each year (more than one million were performed in 2011). And while these procedures are safe and effective, and diminish pain and restore mobility in the vast majority of patients, there is a risk for side effects, including the rare formation of a VTE ─ a blood clot located within a deep vein in the thigh or calf following surgery.
Current, standard VTE prevention techniques include the use of an elastic stocking and/or other external compression device upon admittance to the hospital, patient movement and rehabilitation beginning the first day after surgery and continuing for several months, and anticoagulant therapy (blood thinning medications) starting the night before surgery and continuing after the patient is discharged.
In this new study, researchers reviewed the outcomes of 546 total hip and knee replacement patients with a minimum of 11 months post-operative follow up. All patients received the standard VTE post-operative therapy, based on AAOS guidelines. Patients who received a revision joint replacement surgery, a TJR following a fracture, patients with a history of blood clots, or patients taking hormone replacement therapy were excluded from the study. The average patient age was 65.5 years old, and 61 percent of patients were obese with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 33 kg/m². Patients were divided into two groups: 196 patients who took statins before, during and after surgery (perioperatively); and 221 patients who did not take statins.
The statin group had a significantly lower amount of VTE events (15 patients or 7.7 percent) compared to the non-statin group (32 patients or 14.5 percent).
"Our study found that statins, in addition to conventional venous thromboembolic pharmacologic therapy, significantly reduced the event of VTE in the post-operative period for patients undergoing elective total hip and knee replacements," said Philadelphia-based orthopaedic surgeon and lead study author Katharine T. Criner, MD. "The relative risk of VTE with use of statins was reduced by 48 percent. Statins not only have lipid-lowering effects, but anti-inflammatory effects that may account for their ability to decrease the development of VTE."

Anti-Halloween campaign no trick
Published Saturday, October 29, 2011 11:46AM MDT
Calgary children trick-or-treating Monday night may get more than candy in their loot bags.
Local Christian groups are celebrating "Jesus-ween" with their parishioners handing out bibles to kids when they show up at the door looking for sweets.
Jesus-ween was created by a Calgary pastor and its mission is to spread the word of the gospel.
Christians are also encouraged to take the "evil" out of Halloween by skipping ghoulish costumes and wearing white instead.
The group is spreading their message through social media, including Facebook, where thousands of people are showing support.
CTV Calgary asked some Calgarians for their opinions on Jesusween, with most opposed to the idea.
- "I think you should keep tradition as it was, without changing those costumes and other things. It's fun for kids."
- "You have to choose your own religion so I'm not really in agreement with it."
- "I'm atheist, don't believe in God, so I don't think kids should be pushed into things they don't believe in."
- "I'm not really religious, so I'd rather have candy but I guess it's cool, promoting their religion."
Organizers behind Jesusween say about 200 bibles will be distributed in Calgary Monday night.
Bibles will be handed out across Canada, the U.S., and the U.K.
