Wednesday, March 13 • 3 p.m. CST
Chapman Field • Corpus Christi, Texas
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team will take a break from Southland Conference action Wednesday, March 13, to host former Southland Conference opponent UTSA at Chapman Field. The Islanders will take on the Roadrunners in a single game before heading on the road this weekend for Southland Conference play.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi opened the conference schedule against HBU at Chapman Field over the weekend. The Islanders edged the Huskies 4-3 in the first game after Lindsey Lyles cranked a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh. However, the Huskies came back to snare the next two games to go 2-1 on the weekend.
The last time the Islanders and Roadrunners faced each other was last season in the second round of the conference tournament. The Islanders captured a 2-1 victory to advance. Prior to that, the Islanders and Roadrunners split at Chapman Field in a conference doubleheader on March 7. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi dropped the first game 6-1 before sealing the victory 2-1 in the second game. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi is 17-25 all-time against the Roadrunners and Wednesday's game will mark the 43rd meeting between the two teams.
The Islanders will head into the midweek contest with a 6-17 record, while UTSA holds a 13-8 record.
Head Coach Stephanie Hughes is in her second year with the Islanders and was named the 2013 SLC Preseason All-Conference Coach of the Year by College Sports Madness.
•The Islanders are young with just one senior and 15 on the roster. The squad returns three starters and 11 letterwinners from a team that finished with an 18-23 overall record (11-9 SLC) a year ago.
•Senior Meagan McKinney is powering the Islanders' bats with a .339 batting average. She is second on the team with 21 hits while leading the team with five doubles and two home runs to go along with a team-high 14 RBI.
•Mickayla Cochran has been consistent as the Islanders' leadoff batter. She is second behind McKinney with a .315 batting average and leads the team with 13 runs. She went 2-for-3 in back-to-back games in the CenturyLink Classic, hosted by Texas State.
•Lindsey Lyles ignited the Islanders' offense in the conference home opener against HBU. The sophomore cranked a walk-off single to third base with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to lift the Islanders to a 4-3 victory. Lyles went 3-for-3 with a double and 1 RBI. She followed that performance with a triple, a double and 2 RBI in the second game on Saturday to finish 5-for-6 on the day with 3 RBI.
•Lyles tallied a .556 batting average to lead the Islanders in conference play.
•Junior Constance Brandenburg leads the Islanders in the circle with 69.1 innings pitched and 35 strikeouts.
•Wednesday's game will mark the 43rd meeting between the two teams. UTSA holds the 17-25 all-time series advantage over the Islanders.
•Head Coach Stephanie Hughes is in her second year with the Islanders and will face UTSA, a team she spent eight seasons with including seven as an assistant. She spent the 2011 season as the interim head coach of the Roadrunners.
•The Islanders will head on the road this weekend to face McNeese State in conference play.
UTSA heads into Wednesday's game with a 13-8 record after sealing their fourth straight win and second against HBU on the road on Wednesday, March 6. The Roadrunners dropped their first two opening games of the season to Lamar before clinching the next five games to start the season. UTSA has won six of its last seven games.
Megan Low leads UTSA with a .449 batting average and 22 hits while Alexis Ramirez is second on the team with a .356 batting average and 21 hits. Haylee Staton (7-2) leads the Roadrunners in the circle with a 1.84 ERA in 68.1 innings and has tallied a team-high 49 strikeouts. Alyssa Vordenbaum (4-3) has a 3.03 ERA in 39.1 innings and has tallied 22 strikeouts.
Pitching coach and seven-year NPF veteran Sarah Pauly has a young group of pitchers this season after losing standout pitchers Greta Cecchetti, Jordan Trujillo and Vianca Pesina. Cecchetti was second in the Southland Conference last season with a 0.58 ERA and second in strikeouts with 82.
Junior Constance Brandenburg (4-7) has been the Islanders go to pitcher in the circle this season with a 4.64 ERA in 69.1 innings. Brandenburg has tallied a team-high 35 strikeouts in 18 appearances. The junior recorded a career-high nine strikeouts in a complete game strikeout, while allowing just one walk and four hits over Kansas.
Sophomore Bethany Slick (1-2) picked up her first career victory in the circle against Northern Colorado in her first career start. Slick has a 5.75 ERA in 24.1 innings and 10 appearances.
Ashley Elicerio (1-8) rounds out the pitchers with a 5.93 ERA in 46.0 innings and 13 appearances. Elicerio also has seen action at the plate and has tallied a .231 batting average in five games and has tallied three hits. She clinched her first career victory in the Islanders 7-3 victory over Southern. Elicerio recorded a career-high six strikeouts in seven innings and allowed just two hits.
Leadoff hitter Mickayla Cochran has been consistent for the Islanders this season. The sophomore is second on the team with a .315 batting average in all 23 starts. She has a team-high 23 hits and has recorded three doubles to go along with two home runs. Cochran also has a team-high 13 runs and has posted 30 putouts in center field. Cochran went 3-for-4 with three hits and two RBI in a 6-4 victory over Northern Colorado in the Miken Classic in Waco, Texas. She opened the CenturyLink Classic going 2-for-3 in back-to-back games against North Texas and Purdue. Cochran went 2-for-4 in the conference opener vs. HBU.
The 2013 team welcomes four newcomers, freshman Ashley Elicerio (P/UT), freshman Dani Tefft (OF), freshman Natalie Zarzabal (OF) and sophomore transfer from McLennan CC, Michelle Sorenson (C/UT).
Elicerio is a 5-7 pitcher and utility player. She played four years at Hendrickson High School and was tabbed Utility Player of the Year three consecutive years. She led the Hawks to a 17-9 record during her senior season after advancing the team to the regional quarterfinals.
Zarzabal, a right-handed outfielder, played at Steele High School in Cibolo, Texas. During her sophomore year she recorded a .409 batting average and followed it with a .365 batting average during her junior year. This season, Zarzabal tallied her first career home run against Northern Colorado in the Islanders 6-4 victory.
Tefft was a four-year starter at Kempner High School in Sugar Land, Texas. The left-hander led the team with a .434 batting average while helping her team win the 2011 Bi-District Championship and the 2011 District 23-5A Championship. This season, Tefft recorded two hits and two runs in five starts in left field at the Texas Classic. The freshman went 2-for-3 against HBU in game two of the doubleheader.
Sorenson has 61 putouts behind home plate this season and has caught 12 stolen bases. She posted a .358 batting average while appearing in 43 of 51 games during the 2010-11 season at McLennan CC. She helped her team win the Region V championship and earned second team all-conference honors.
The Islanders exploded for a season-high 12 hits on in a 6-4 victory over Northern Colorado in the Miken Classic in Waco, Texas. Mickayla Cochran went 3-for-4 with three hits and two RBI to lead the Islanders. The Islanders are 5-1 when they out-hit their opponents and 5-3 when they score first.
Co-captain junior Valerie Perez has been the vocal leader for the team this season along with McKinney. Perez has tallied 12 hits and three doubles this season in 20 games. She has also recorded 33 putouts at shortstop this season. The Islanders have won six games when Perez has been in the starting lineup and 0-4 when the junior hasn't started or been in the game.
Sophomore Hayley Galloway has battled back from off-season surgery to record a .246 batting average. She has made starts in 21 of the Islanders 22 games and has a team-high five sacrifice hits. Galloway has 14 hits and 40 putouts between second base and shortstop this season.
The Islanders were selected to finish fourth in the 2013 Southland Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll in a vote by both the conference's head coaches and sports information directors. Sophomore Mickayla Cochran (OF) was tabbed All-Southland Preseason Second Team. The Islanders were also tabbed fourth in the Preseason Sports Information Director's poll.
Following Wednesday's game with UTSA, the Islanders will travel to Lake Charles, La. on March 16 and March 17, to take on McNeese State in their first conference road games of the season.

Charles F. Erickson dies in Florida
Known for his generosity around W.Va.
July 6, 2013
PARKERSBURG — A man known for his philanthropy here and across West Virginia died in Florida on Thursday. Charles ....
I can remember in the mid and late '70s reading articles about how various cities and town across this country were finally getting cable and the impact it had, and thinking it was no big deal since our area has had it since the '60s. Our thoughts and thanks to Mr. Erickson and his father for bringing this technology to our area first and for remembering us with their generosity throughout the years.

Ames Laboratory uses High-Throughput Techniques to Find Green Catalysts
Ames Laboratory researcher and Iowa State University (ISU) professor L. Keith Woo is on the search for catalysts that lead to more efficient, safer, and cleaner chemical reactions that work at lower pressures and temperatures and create less waste.
In one project, Dr. Woo is working to understand the chemistry behind fast pyrolysis for creating bio-oil from biomass. Fast pyrolysis quickly heats up biomass (such as corn stalks and leaves) in the absence of oxygen to produce a liquid bio-oil. In a second project, he worked with ISU professor Robert Angelici to find a gold-based catalyst that eliminates the need for harsh acids and high pressure in the production of commercial lactam, which is used in manufacturing nylons and other industrial polymers. And, in yet another project, Dr. Woo's research team is studying how to synthetically develop highly specialized catalysts with iron porphyrins (the heme in the hemoglobin of red blood cells). See the complete EnergyBlog post.

Re: "Perhaps Christians should permanently abstain from voting, by Ed Herford, letters, Oct 23
Thanks to Ed Herford for his thoughtful, well-reasoned response to my letter published October 14. No doubt some will follow Ed's approach.
I feel, though, that there's a big difference between, on the one hand, voting for various candidates in various spiritual positions, and on the other, electing as the nation's top leader a man who all his life has opposed in an organized, systematic way the most basic of Biblical truths including the gospel. Among other things, a man who believes he's becoming a God, to be worshiped, hardly possess the personal humility needed by a president.
I find nothing in the Bible or elsewhere which imposes a duty to vote in every contest every time. I'll vote in all the others on Nov. 6, but will abstain in just this one as a matter of conscience.
Thanks for your input Ed! I'll keep considering what you said.

BELPRE - The Dog Days in May reached the Belpre Heights United Methodist Church Saturday with dozens of dogs and a few felines receiving medical care.
"As a church in this community, we were looking for ways to build our community awareness," said the Rev. Rod Brower with the church at 720 Cement Ave. in Belpre. "We came up with this event, which helps the community by helping their four-legged family members."
The event included informational booths and demonstrations by the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley in Marietta as well as Washington County Dog Warden Deputy Kelly Schubert.

Veterinarian Bea Schooley spent more than an hour at the event giving rabies vaccinations and microchips to the dozens of dogs and a few cats brought in by their humans.
"We had a lot of people come out with the weather having calmed down," Schooley said. "Being part of one of these events allows me to make a difference in tough economic times so people can keep their pets healthy without paying pricey vet bills."
The rabies vaccinations were given for $11 while microchips were $39 each.
"Microchips are important because pets get lost all of the time," said Schooley. "Collars come off, but if a pet is lost and has a microchip, they can easily be returned home."
Brower said the event was originally to be in August, which are commonly called "dog days," but the committee didn't have enough time to schedule it.
"We changed it to May and it seems to have done very well," he said. "We will likely make this a yearly event."

So as most of you guys know, I am a co-author of a new book that is out called I Just Want To Pee Alone. And as most of my Facebook followers know, I just had my dorky television debut Friday on Fox News Houston. And as most of my Facebook AND blog readers know, I am not normally a fan of doing things like this. I have a history of turning down everything media-related that ever comes my way. Not that people are banging down my door with one of those big fireman door buster downer things or anything, but I have been asked to do a few things here and there and I always pass. A couple of months ago when that casting agency in L.A. asked to interview me I said yes and actually followed through. That was me forcing myself to do things I don't want to do because I realized that seriously, what's the worst that can happen? You might look like a ding dong for eternity? Your video will get satellite bounced into space and the aliens will watch it and either want to zoom down and kidnap you to be their Queen or zoom down and kidnap you to dissect your brain to try and find out what the hell is wrong with you? Yes and Yes. But really, what's so bad about that? Although I'd rather not have my brain dissected, it IS for Science. Even if it's for Alien Science. Science is Science, you guys. Alien or not. And is that really so terrible? Well, yeah. I guess it is. But oh well. What's done is done.
So without further ado, I give you "The Night That 3 Muthabloggers Made Themselves Look Like Dorks." (Since I am helpless and can't get the actual video to post ON this page, here is the link)
CLICK HERE to watch the video.
Ok. Since that all went by so fast (Thank Balls) this is where I break it all down for you.First of all, here is what you look like when the reporters are pulling into your driveway. Yes. YOUR driveway. Because they want to do the interview at YOUR house. Which means that you have to clean everything so that everyone watching TV doesn't judge you for being a mess. And since it's at your house, you also have to try to fight the nervous poops that you get while waiting for the reporters to come because if you give in to them at the last minute, your house will not smell good. It's a lot of stress, preparing to have a news segment recorded in your home. And trying to hold in your poopsies. Which is why you look like this:Yes. I am beautiful. I can read your mind right now so I know that's what you were thinking. There's no use in denying it.So the reporter and the cameraman came into my house and got right down to business. Cameraman Rodney tells me to go to my office and pretend like I'm writing on my Facebook page. But guess what, you guys? I am not Tori Spelling. I can't "act" like that superstar can. One can only DREAM of having such talents. So I actually slowly wrote a long FB status and did not pretend. I think that's called Method Acting or something. And I think it means that I am actually on the level of a Daniel Day Lewis (which is a few levels under Tori Spelling but is still respectable) and it also probably means that he might want to make out with me if he sees this.
LEFT: Me pretending to type and actually typing since I suck at pretending to type.RIGHT: Awkward close-up that no cameraman should ever do to a woman who is 41-years-old. Plus, now everyone can see how big my nose is and I am dying a little bit inside. (I don't actually have a giant circle and arrow on my face. That is from a still shot of the video. I just wanna clarify that.)Here is what I was actually typing while pretending to type but really typing:I am supposed to be pretending like I am writing a blog right now so they can film me for the news. I am typing. I am typing. I am typing. I am typing. Yay! I think I am doing a great job! I am very proud of myself for pretending to type for so long. This is very difficult. I am running out of things to type. Let's talk about what kinds of beer I like. I like Modelo. I like Pacifico. I like Ruby Red Bird. I like Shiner Blonde. I like Tecate. I like Dos Equis. I like most Mexican beers. Especially with lime in them. I like my rims salted. Especially with that spicy salt that I buy at Specs. I also like Margaritas. I like the skinny ones. I like the spicy jalapeno ones too. Those are good. There is a place here in Houston that makes them with cilantro. It drinks like a meal. Ok I think they are done now. This was vey hard!Here is what showed up on my computer screen on the news:So next, Reporter John wanted to interview me in my green chair because Cameraman Rodney likes the green chair. He likes it a lot. But he also says that he doesn't know why he likes it. I sit here in fear that The Cat is going to pounce onto the back of my head because the back of the green chair is her special place, and sometimes she can be a real bitch about claiming ownership of her special place. Kinda like me and my potty. So I'm sitting here concentrating on staying still, focusing my ADHD brain on the questions and actually answering them correctly, and not ending up wearing a Surprise Cat Hat.My noggin stayed free of flying feline, but instead she walked around in front of me during this interview giving me the look of death and meowing at me non-stop. The girl was pretty wound up from the time Cameraman Rodney entered the premises cuz he called her fat and it hurt her feelings. Due to all the concentration I was using, I look stiff and serious as hell here. And I could totally hear Kelley in the kitchen telling Rachael that she drank too much. That's a lot of distractions, you guys. Distractions that I managed to ignore. So basically, this little segment used up the entire 2013 allotment of calm, concentratey, seriousness that I have for the entire 12-month period. Thank balls. Cuz I am NOT a fan of it, and Rachael was slightly disturbed by it. My cousin Becky also said that this was the most serious she had ever seen me in the history of my entire existence. It's really quite difficult to watch.Next, Reporter John (or actually, Bossy Cameraman Rodney) told us to all sit around the kitchen table to have a drink (or two) and answer some group questions.LEFT: This is when Reporter John asks us who we think is the funniest out of the 3 of us. Like we are gonna answer that. Like we are idiots who don't fear for our lives or are unaware that if we answered "me" we would look like egotistical doinks on TV. I mean, we all wanted to say we were the funniest. We were all thinking it. And I guess that Kelley missed the memo on the whole "think it but don't say it" thing, because she said "Patti has the most followers but I just think I haven't been discovered yet." I think you can see the look of pure outrage on my face as I point at her with my shock finger.RIGHT: This is where Kelley starts making boxes. Like she's a mime or something. A really bad mime because she talks while she mimes and everyone knows that talking while you mime is the first sign of a bad mime. This is also where we all make fun of her for making boxes and Rachael accuses her of being drunk.LEFT: This is when Rachael started making facial expressions that she hates. Facial expressions that she blames on having had alcohol in her system. But I know Rachael. I know Rachael sans alcohol. Trust me: Rachael always makes these facial expressions. She just doesn't know it because it's not usually on TV.RIGHT: This is when Kelley keeps making boxes. She won't stop. And I make facial expressions that I hate. But unlike Rachael, I am self-aware and I realize that I make them all the time. Except when I am concentrating on being interviewed in a green chair while The Cat simultaneously contemplates face-raping me.This is when Cameraman Rodney sets up a little still life of olive oil and wine and our book. Why? Who knows why Cameraman Rodney does what he does. Maybe he wants the viewers to think that mom bloggers like to get drunk and read while slathered in olive oil. Or maybe Cameraman Rodney is an aspiring painter and he just wanted a screenshot of this so he could paint a watercolor of it later. I don't know. I am not inside of Cameraman Rodney's bald head.This is beautiful. I mean, seriously. Don't look at it too long or you will feel really shitty about yourself. THAT is how awesome I look here. I think that this is what happened after I asked Reporter John who edits this segment. I was just thinking that they could take this footage of 3 lovely mom bloggers and turn it into anything they want. Maybe it would end up being a piece about the "Whore Moms Of Houston" and they could take a shot of me with my legs spread (I am acting that out here) and say I was propositioning the cameraman or something. You never know how these things are gonna turn out. Never trust the media, you guys. You know that the media is responsible for making the Kardashian family look like idiots when in reality they are all shy, demure, and geniusy Neuroscientists.This is at the end of the segment. This is after Reporter John asked us if we ever get recognized when we are out and about. I was pretending to be Kelley pushing a grocery cart through the market while loudly singing "I'm Kelley! From Kelley's Break Room!" so that everyone would know who she was. I sing pretty, you guys.This is a still shot from the segment above that Reporter John sent to me during editing and asked me what I would give him if he didn't use it. I said "Use it! That's the real me. It makes up for the Fear of Face-Rape/Serious interview at the beginning. Use it." I bet he wasn't expecting me to say that. I like to keep people on their toes. Well, that plus the fact that I am way more embarrassed by the serious part of the broadcast than by the crazy parts at the end. In the beginning I was all Cindy Brady on the gameshow episode of Brady Bunch. Minus the awesome crown of braids. And with the addition of a possible face-rape by a cat. Although she kinda does look like she's about to be face-raped or murdered or something. Who knows what was going on behind the scenes of that show. I mean, Mr. B was gay and Mrs. B. was making out with Greg. So maybe there was a face-raping cat in their midst.After the filming was over, Reporter John and Cameraman Rodney stuck around for a LONG time to chit chat and tell us stories about how awesome they are. Here is a photo of us with Reporter John. Notice the Zombie Baby and Flat Bieber photo bombs:This is when we were attacking Cameraman Rodney and he was embarrassed because Rachael had just said "My breasticle is resting on your arm."Shortly after this, Kelley realized that she was missing a boob. Not a real boob. That would be weird. One of her fake "chicken cutlets" that was shoved in her bra so that her boobies would look perky on TV. That's not weird at all. This marks the first time that anyone has crawled around my house looking for a lost boob under my furniture. I think she was rockin' one boob throughout the entire interview. Or maybe it fell out while she was miming those boxes. You might wanna go back and watch it again to see if you can tell.For the sake of The Boy, I would also like to point out that he did get on TV. He was begging me to let him be on the news but I said no. I thought this was enough. He said this wasn't enough. He also said that I was only on the news because I invented him and my invention of him was what made me funny. Then he acted out a whole scene for me and The Hub about how he could get on TV for doing nothing just like I did. The Boy is a gem.So that's is. That's the breakdown of our TV debut, and our shot at prolonging this exposure as long as we can. I am waiting on a call from Matt Lauer. I know it's coming. I'm sure that it was the singing and dancing at the end that got his attention. I am ready for my Today Show Surprise Buttsecksing of Matt Lauer debut. Dude should prepare himself, too. Cuz like I said, I used up all my seriousness in the first few seconds of this thing. I have none left. It's all singing and dancing from here on out.This morning I also played reporter and Reporter Patti asked Reporter John for a quote about his experience with us. He said "I'm just glad I didn't get sporked for asking the wrong things." And "The most fun I've had with 3 women with our clothes on."A BIG Thank You to John Donnelly and Rodney Cameraman (I don't know his last name and he probably prefers to keep it that way) for being so great. Also, please go check out my fellow Houston contributors to the book I Just Want To Pee Alone (which you can order HERE or purchase at Blue Willow Bookshop in Houston) at Rachriot and Kelley's Breakroom.

Their arrests and sentences are public knowledge as are their mugshots. I don't see why there would be a problem compiling public data. Just call it a criminal archive or something so they can't complain they are being profiled.

@ Dorthey A Facebook Crime Watch page for Marietta would a great way to gather information and keep a eye on people that are know criminals.

We need to develop a web site/ database with the names of these repeat losers, home address, links to their crime history, mugs shots, and prison/jail release dates. Would also be nice to have an alert system of their release dates. But I am sure we have no rights to do such a terrible thing ...what am I thinking?

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
Not only is this a reminder to vote in the Tubey Awards over at Television Without Pity, but an encouragement to join the Game of Thrones fans who've supported the show through two rounds of Spoiler TV's battle for best TV show. After a couple of relatively easy wins, Game of Thrones has come up against a venerable (yes, I went there!) favorite: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Now, Linda and I adore Buffy and Angel and the works of Joss Whedon in general, owning the DVD sets and the comics and all that jazz…
But judging season for season, Game of Thrones certainly tops Buffy's first season in our book. So why not give it a vote? There's quite a few other shows being paired up against one another as well, for those interested in playing the field.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

Emil Monroe Roberts was born on Aug. 28, 1933 to Charlie and Monta (Chappell) Roberts in Fairland, Okla. He departed this life at Sapulpa, Okla., on Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2012 at the age of 79 years, three months, and 14 days.
Emil is survived by two brothers, Arnold Roberts of Sapulpa, Okla., and Larus Roberts of Atlanta, Ga. He was preceded in death by his parents Charlie and Monta Roberts, five brothers, Raymond, Eldon, Arlis, Alvin, and an infant brother, and three sisters, Dana Nell Roberts, Reva Jean Huffstetler, and LaRue Rutledge.
Emil lived at Jasper, Mo., most of his life. There he farmed, raised cattle, took care of his many cats and dogs, and met with his buddies daily at Judy's Café.
Throughout his lifetime he had many cats and dogs, but the last years he talked of a special dog named Freddie. He loved Chicken Mary's, and strawberry ice-cream, and cherry limeades.
He was a very kindhearted, caring, giving person. His smile and laughter that would crinkle his eyes we will always remember. We all have special memories of a very special man.
Great nephew John Roberts and Bro. Leroy Watkins will be officiating the service. Pallbearers are nephews Dean Roberts, Thomas Roberts, Harold Roberts, Mike Roberts, Kelvin Roberts, and Craig Roberts. A graveside service will be at Greenlawn Cemetery in Jasper, Mo. at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012, under the direction of Add 'Vantage Funeral Home Service of Tulsa, Okla.

I need information about...
Surgery is the most common treatment for vulvar cancer. The goal of surgery is to remove tumors or cancerous lesions from the vulva while trying to leave as much normal tissue as possible. This allows your sexual, bowel, and bladder functions to stay intact. Another important goal is to remove lymph nodes from the groin to check for the spread of cancer. Sometimes surgery requires removing surrounding tissue or organs. You should be treated by a gynecologic oncologist, a subspecialist with advanced training in the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and management of gynecologic cancers.
These are some of the most common types of surgery for vulvar cancer.
If you have a pre-cancerous lesion or early-stage vulvar cancer (Stage Ia), your surgeon may remove the cancer and some normal skin surrounding it. This surgery is called wide local excision.
For this surgery, the doctor removes part (partial vulvectomy) or all (total vulvectomy) of your vulva. The extent of surgery depends on the size of the tumor, where it is located on the vulva, and how much of the vulva is involved. It also depends on the traits of the tumor itself and whether the surgeon can remove enough normal tissue around the tumor. Also, your surgeon will consider the postoperative cosmetic result and the impact of surgery on your quality of life. The surgeon may also remove lymph nodes, where cancer cells can often be found, too. He or she removes lymph nodes from your groin to check for signs of cancer. You may receive chemotherapy and radiation therapy before or after this surgery. The surgeon will explain what he or she thinks is best for your situation.
This surgery is also called an inguinal node dissection. With this surgery, the surgeon removes the lymph nodes in the groin area on the side of your body that has the tumor. In some cases, the doctor may remove lymph nodes from both sides. Lymph nodes in the groin may be removed even in women with small tumors. Ask your health care provider whether you are a candidate for sentinel node evaluation. Sentinel node evaluation removes fewer lymph nodes to gain accurate staging information and reduces the potential side effects associated with more extensive lymph node removal.
If the cancer has spread outside your vulva to nearby organs, you may have a more involved surgery, removing one or more of the following: your vagina, cervix, uterus, lower colon, rectum, or bladder, depending on where the cancer has spread. This is called a pelvic exenteration and is not commonly done for vulvar cancer. In some cases, the surgeon removes your clitoris. Again, this depends on the location of the cancer.
This type of surgery uses a laser beam (a narrow beam of intense light) to cut out or kill pre-cancerous cells. Laser surgery is a noninvasive alternative to wide local excision as a treatment for pre-cancerous lesions (Stage 0 or carcinoma in situ). It is not used to treat invasive cancer.
The side effects you have after surgery depend mainly on the extent of your surgery. If the doctor removes a large area of skin during surgery, you may need a skin graft from another part of your body. This helps the wound to heal. These are other possible side effects from vulvar surgery:
Discomfort or pain. It is likely you will have some temporary pain after surgery. Also, if you wear tight jeans or slacks, you may feel some discomfort in the genital area. This is because some padding of tissue is now missing.
Wound infection. The location and type of surgery increases the risk for wound infection. If you have a fever, worsening redness or pain, or discharge.
Sexual changes. Depending on how much tissue is removed during surgery, you may have some numbness or trouble reaching orgasm. These changes may or may not be temporary.
Genital or leg swelling. This is a side effect of lymph node removal. The fewer lymph nodes removed, the less likely you will have this side effect.
Talk with a doctor or nurse about ways to cope with these side effects.

Can Kim Kardashian's Trainer Whip a Real Woman into Shape?
Find out if 30 days with the reality star's bootcamp trainer can transform one woman's body into a toned, fat-burning machine
I make my way to one of the dozen treadmills that face the back wall while other bootcampers find a stepper that faces the front. I survey the scene. These people obviously take fitness seriously. They are perfectly toned, athletic looking (read: no fake boobs here), and all wear the same uniform -- a black tank, sports bra, black capri leggings, and high performance sneakers. I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and realize I look like a bum by comparison; my shorts ride up with every step and my sneakers? The tread is peeling off the bottom.
Note to self: Glue gun the sneaks.
At exactly 6:30 a.m. the lights dim and the club music gets louder. Barry -- a cammo-wearing personal trainer who resembles Rambo -- starts barking instructions and everyone starts moving quickly. Really quickly. As I crank up the speed and start to take my light jog to what feels like a sprint, I ask myself, "What the hell did I sign up for and more importantly, why?"
Then I remember: It's Kim Kardashian's fault.
I'll admit it -- I'm mildly obsessed with Kimmy K. right now. Maybe it's because I can't avoid her. She's on every magazine cover, TV channel, and gossip site. And if there's one thing about Kim K. that drives the media wild, it's her body. The secret to Kim's curves, they say? Barry's Bootcamp, a torture chamber that's churned out other hot celeb bodies (think Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Jessica Alba, and Katie Holmes).
So where do I come in? Despite my lack of celeb superpower DNA, I want to know if I can get the same results as the A-List elite. Is Kim K.'s body really attainable? Can I get rock-hard abs, toned arms, and a slimmer waistline in a mere 30 days? There's only one way to find out � and it starts with a measuring tape.

Work out and PUSH YOURSELF. Watch portion sizes. Nobody needs to go to Kim Kardashians trainer to get in shape. You have to actually want to do it.

This was nice to see that you arent going to get those results that quickly plus Im sure Kim does a lot more then just his bootcamp. When you have money like she does you can afford a lot more.

Kim Kardashian is not an example of beauty. She has a HUGE derriere, which is very unattractive. I cannot stand her and all of the publicity she gets. I am disappointed with TB that you would have an article about her.

Kind of disappointing.... Work out like crazy, but still guzzle soda. Not shocking she barely lost any weight.

Fire destroys building at Haywood County community college
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 3:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 3:02 p.m.
CLYDE, N.C. (AP) — Classes have been cancelled at a North Carolina community college after a brush fire destroyed a building on campus.
Haywood County emergency officials said crews were still working Tuesday morning to put out a fire that started the night before at Haywood Community College.
Dispatchers say the fire was originally reported in woods near the campus. A sawmill building housing wood and heavy machinery was destroyed, but no injuries were reported.
School leaders said classes would be canceled Tuesday. They planned to update students on class schedules through the school website.
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire.

Your PMS, Channels (especially) and Jumpy are all out of date. This may or may not matter, but please update them just to keep things sane. navix seems to be troublesome for others and I have no special insight since I haven't tried it recently, but as a general rule one should double-check whether the content plays outside of PMS. You can also try some xbmc addons in Jumpy (e.g. AlJazeera) and see if rtmp streams are working there.

I'm not liking this life.
Depression strikes.
Day after day I do these motherfucking shows. Long rides. car accidents. drunk people. hecklers. critics. I think these things are starting to overshadow the love and enjoyment that I am able to get from this lifestyle.
What the fuck kind of fans am I attracting? How can someone be heckling me from the crowd and I am the ONLY ONE who deals with it? Pussies. A crowd of pussies.
I got in a scuffle with someone in the crowd two nights in a row. They both made me feel sick to my stomach. It felt like I was taking a necessary measure at the time.
I am getting well constructed emails from people calling me a hypocrite because I tour in a van (and that's just as bad as an SUV somehow.) How the hell else are 9 people supposed to sufficiently travel from city to city? I sprained my ankle at yesterday's show (very badly) and performed in horrible pain without saying as much as "shit." Today I was lashed out at by a couple audience members because I wasn't the saint they think i make myself out to be.
Who the FUCK have y'all been listening to????????
I hate this new wave of people I have come across on this tour. They didn't exist before.
Yes, I sell merchandise. Selling merchandise is what has kept me away from serving ice cream for the past three years. It's the only reason I'm able to be your topic of coffee table conversation. I have not ever tried to present myself in a "holier than thou" manner, which I was also accused of today. i am a man with many MANY flaws. I write, record, perform, and entertain. That is my passion as well as my job.
the emails I am getting are insane. like...the things people blame me of really blow my mind. today's show was so difficult for me. I almost feel like crying right now and I don't know why. We woke up at 7 AM (on 2 hours of sleep), got in a car accident, drove 14 hours through rain and snowy mountains in order to get to Missoula, MT. The stage was miniscule but that was fine since I had a sprained ankle and needed to stay stationary anyway. The amount of smoke in the room coupled with my inability to hear my own voice on the monitors really put a strain on my throat to the point that the whole performance was painful. It literally hurt to perform. And unfortunately, the low mood I was in was translated to the crowd in the form of an iffy performance. I was offered weed so many fucking times that I stopped responding to voices.
I came back to the hotel room to recieve this email from Matt Cerullo:
"sage, i am a twenty-six year old male form boston who has recently relocated to montana to get as far away from pricks like you as possible. i am against invading iraq, for the obvious reasons. after hearing so many great things about you and your words i went to see your show in missoula tonight and walked out halfway through your set. i had to get home and check you out on the web cause i was sure that a pompous ass such as yourself would have a web site selling all your shit. sure enough,
during the performance of 'Makeshift Patriot' you mention all the suvs americans have to gas up, how the fuck did you get from tallahasse to missoula? in the interview on mvremix.com you make reference to recording/sampling the crowd at ground zero cheering on the rescue workers after the eleventh, simply perverse. also you are quoted as saying "It disturbs me for a number of reasons. and not just because I won't be seeing any money. that's the least of my concerns. I don't want to talk about this"(mvremix), in reference to your album being leaked on the web. why don't you want to talk about it? maybe because you are pissed about the $$$$? of course you are, why don't you call james hetfield and cry to him, i'll bet he'll listen. on your website there is a banner announcing,"COMING SOON!!Sage Francis store!Buy all Sage related items and get frequent show updates"(sagefrancis.com) i just wanted to bust your balls a little because you attempt to come across with this holier than thou attitude, then turn around use our insane capitalistic society to your advantage. it's pure bull-shit. what I truly think is that you have used 9/11 and are continuing to use this fucking war as a platform launch you and your 'Personal Journals' lp. you are fucking pathetic. you might as well tour w/eminem. get a life, and some ethics while your at it. if you ever make any dough i'd like my ten buck back please."
This is not an isolated incident. In fact, I am seeing some of the same sentiment on the messageboard and it really effects me.
I am sad. That's all. Disappointed in myself as well as many of y'all. I hope to be signing with a big label soon. And I look forward to doing away with as much involvement with people as possible. There will be others who can do the dirty work.
I don't know how this all turned so wrong

I can empathize 100% and all I would have to say is stick with it, you dont have that much longer to go, right? (well, 12 or 13 more shows, sorry, i didnt check the front page.) fuck the assholes, they're assholes.
I really dont know what to say though, I'm just sorry that all this negative shit has been happening.
you blew up.
mo money mo problems.
you need to get back to doing shows with 10 people in the audience. less of a chance of there being assholes at the show.
I recommend taking Fladlien's advice ....in fact, thats what I need to do. get some sleep. good night.

Sorry man, but you have to expect this to a certain degree. Once you've put out a recording that people can buy, you are in the public domain, and rightly or wrongly, the public views you as their property. Mr Record Buyer has spent money on your record and along with that he's bought the right to comment. Modern commercial society has deemed your record a 'product' and Mr Record Buyer is now a Consumer. Horrible I know, but c'est la vie. You either play that game, and take its rewards, or you don't and go back to sending out home-made tapes.
As far as the heckling goes, I've only ever seen you play in Glasgow (Scotland) and we're nice people here! What you described at the SF show sounded unpleasant to say the least, but two things struck me: you complain about being the one to have to deal with it - well what do you want? A Rolling Stones-style Hells Angels presence at the front of the stage, eager to knock fcuk out of any dissenting voices? Throwing objects is never cool, and I'm not defending whoever did it, but really the venue's security should be dealing with the situation. Secondly, what's your general view on being heckled? I don't mean the kind of "you're an asshole!' moron comments which come from humourless people who really dig the sound of their own voices, but surely intelligent conjecture from the audience (I don't know if you get that or not, you'd do well to even understand a Glasgow crowd!) is a sign that people are thinking about what you're saying. That's got to be a good thing, even if you don't agree with what they're saying. Having said all that, I saw Lyrics Born in SF last year and struggled to believe how many assholes could fit into one venue.
Sorry to hear about the road troubles - I'm sure things will be better in the Lear jet once you've signed with Geffen, although I understand they always seem to run out of Meursault and Beluga canapes too early ;->

"what I truly think is that you have used 9/11 and are continuing to use this fucking war as a platform launch you and your 'Personal Journals' lp."
hmm, i dunno about everybody else but that stinks of fucking bullshit. i very much doubt sage was thinking about dollars and album promotion when he wrote makeshift patriot. if he really wanted a platform to launch his album there are bigger and better ways to suck dick and shift units. like fucking george bush in the ear whilst reciting "hopeless" would do wonders for album sales no doubt.
its not like sage is the only person rapping/singing about war or 9/11.
its fuckin ridiculous. what does this guy think sage should have done?
stop releasing albums just to prove he's not a "sellout" or make tracks specifically about politics and hand them out for free?

good points, TheRutherglenRebel...
although I dont think I've ever heard or witnessed any "intelligent conjecture from the audience" haha...does that mean some guy in the audience would be like
"yo, that rhyme woulve worked best with better simile usage in the past tense!"
most or all of the negative comments I've ever heard from crowds is "you suck" and "asshole" etc...
I hope it didnt seem like I was making fun of you, I just thought that would wierd and would like for you to elaborate please

Damnn, I just got over one depression and now you have one......
I don't have any awnsers cause it's your life but if you ask me you shouldn't respond anymore to anybody (except friends ofcourse) and just let people say what they want, just make music that you like and the rest will come.
I can only say that running from your problem is gonna make the depression go away ( worked for me) but I can also tell you that that doesn't mean the problem isn't there anymore.
If you where (I don't know how to say this) more in balance with yourself, like what I'm trying to achieve, you wouldn't be bothered by these people.
I think time will heal all wounds and that you'll be just fine
Remember no one said this would be an easy ride.....

Its simple: In less than 20 minutes, at 6AM[or whatever time where your all at] youve already got 8 posts of love, 6AM and people actually care enough to write something?? Must be doing something right Sage. Plus that asshole with the Email said he hadnt ever heard you before the show, well obviously he doesnt understand what your all about. Dont forget how much you help us everyday and how much your music does for your fans.

Eh, that's too bad. I'll still be checking for N-P and more solo work when it drops. For the record, I never saw Sage as a political emcee with an "agenda." I think a younger fanbase might have brought an idealistic intolerance? I dunno. Anyway, good luck with everything--though I don't think you need it.

Perhaps what I'm talking about is more suited to poetry events rather than hip-hop shows, but I have on (rare) occasion seen debate(!) between an artist on stage and members of the audience. I don't know, perhaps live 'popular' music occupies a strange middle ground somewhere between opera or ballet, where everyone sits in a dignified silence, appreciating what's going on in front of them, and say a football match at the other extreme, where a lot of people are under the impression that acting like a dick is an entry requirement or something.

Damn dude, people are pretty damn ignorant to expect the show of a life time from someone who's been on tour doing shows everyday for a month. Fuck them, just ignore those clowns, they obviously expect way too much, you don't owe it to them to please them. Do what you do, ignore the negative critics.

Insulin normally is made by the pancreas, a gland behind the stomach. The medicine form of insulin helps the body use glucose. Insulin cannot be taken as a pill, because stomach acid destroys insulin before it can enter the blood.
Insulin is categorized according to how fast it starts to work and how long it continues to work. The types of insulin available include rapid-, short-, intermediate-, and long-acting insulin. See types of insulin for more information.
Insulin is packaged in small glass bottles that are sealed with rubber lids. One bottle of U-100 insulin holds 1,000 units, which is many doses of insulin. It is also packaged in small cartridges used in pen-shaped devices (insulin pens) attached to disposable needles. Insulin bottles and cartridges are labeled with important information you should read, such as the expiration date.
How insulin is taken
Insulin usually is given as a shot under the skin. It can also be given through an insulin pump or a jet injector, a device that sprays the medicine into the skin. Some insulins can be given in a vein, but this is only done in a hospital.
How It Works
Insulin reduces blood sugar levels by helping sugar (glucose) enter the cells to be used for energy. Sometimes women who have gestational diabetes need to take two types of insulin, usually a rapid- or short-acting and an intermediate-acting type.
- The short-acting insulin reduces blood sugar levels quickly and then wears off.
- The combination of a rapid- or short-acting and intermediate-acting insulin helps keep blood sugar levels in a target range both before and after meals.
Why It Is Used
You may need to take insulin to keep your blood sugar in a target range. Keeping your blood sugar in a target range is the best way to prevent problems from gestational diabetes, such as a baby who grows too large or a baby who is born with low blood sugar. Usually, gestational diabetes goes away after your baby is born. Then you no longer need insulin.
How Well It Works
Insulin is effective in reducing blood sugar levels by helping sugar (glucose) enter the cells to be used for energy.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Passed out (lost consciousness) or suddenly become very sleepy or confused. You may have low blood sugar, called hypoglycemia.
Call your doctor if:
- You have hives.
- You often have problems with high or low blood sugar levels.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Low blood sugar.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
What you need to know
Insulin will work faster if:
- It is accidentally injected into a muscle instead of into fatty tissue.
- You have just exercised the muscles in the area where you give your insulin injection.
- You put a heat pack on or massage the area where you have just given your insulin injection.
To learn how to prepare and give insulin injections, see:
Things to check
Always check the expiration date on the bottle.
Insulin should be stored properly. If it is not, it may break down and not work very well.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

About WATD-FM WATD is one of those seemingly impossible ideas which actually worked and has now endured for over three full decades. The idea for the station in Marshfield emerged as the result of a prospecting trip Carol and Edward Perry made in December of 1972.Click here to learn more...

Blessings won't just be going to the dogs at Peace Lutheran Church's annual St. Francis Pet Blessing festival. Past attendees have brought their pet birds, bunnies, cats, guinea pigs, ponies, horses and even an iguana. This year's event is from 12 to 3 p.m. Oct. 7 outside the church at 3201 Camino Tassajara in east Danville.
St. Francis (1181-1226) is the patron saint of animals. The blessing is scheduled near Thursday, his Feast Day. "My daughter and I got it started four years ago," said Maili Malvre, a Danville resident, congregation member and owner of two blessed dogs, Lulubelle and Daisy. "It started slowly but has become a great success. Peace has this lovely outdoor area which lends itself so well to the blessings. People have even brought cremains of their pets to be blessed and asked blessings for their loved ones who are sick."
Garbed in a pastoral white robe with a colorful sash, Pastor Margareta Johansson and a guest pastor will perform individual blessings for each of the animals.
"People stand in line to get their animals blessed," said Greg Grebe, chair of the pet festival. "It's kind of a big deal. Some of the pets are ill or pretty old."
I asked how well the different types of animals get along while waiting in line with their owners. Maili emphasized that only well socialized dogs should participate, and Greg said that dogs and cats are kept in separate lines.
Some 15 exhibitors are expected to participate in the festival, including various dog-rescue groups, the East Bay Dog Listener, Dogs for Diabetics and a pet grief counselor from Hospice. A silent auction will also be offered, along with burgers, hot dogs and other refreshments available for purchase.
For further information, visit www.peacejourney.org or call 925-648-7000.
Maili and her husband, Olavi, have lived in Danville almost 40 years. She taught English for 15 years at Dublin High School and for about 13 years at Amador Valley High School. She retired in 1996.
"I'm very, very fond of Danville," Maili told me. "I've traveled widely to Third World countries and the Middle East. Retirement is meaningful and full of new adventures."
OFFICER'S DEATH: I was shocked and saddened to learn of the senseless fatal shooting on Sept 4. of California Highway Patrol Officer Kenyon Youngstrom on Interstate 680 near Alamo's Livorna exit. So was Rosario "Russ" Belleci, owner of Ristorante Forli in Alamo, who is hosting a fundraising event Sunday.
"It's my exit on the freeway," he said, "and the whole thing really bothered me. I do about six or eight Las Vegas-style dinner shows a year, and I'm going to donate 20 percent of my proceeds from this dinner on Sept. 30 to the Officer Kenyon Youngstrom Fund administered by the Police and Fire: The Fallen Heroes organization."
The three-course dinner will feature salad, several different kinds of pasta and dessert. Entertainment throughout the evening will be provided by the Still Rock'N & Friends Band, whose members include Joe Iovino, a Danville resident; Craig Harper, a Realtor at J. Rockcliff Realtors in Danville; and Rex Bell, who teaches guitar lessons in Danville. Bell has toured with such notables as Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon and Sammy Davis, Jr. The group is also scheduled to perform Oct. 26 at Crow Canyon Country Club in Danville.
Belleci said an anonymous donor has pledged to match the donations. Ristorante Forli is located at 3160 Danville Blvd. in Alamo. For reservations, call 925-820-1711.

Detectives with the Polk County Sheriff's Office and Tryon Police Department arrested a Landrum, S.C. man Monday in an ongoing investigation into sexual assault allegations.
Alfard Mullins, 34, of 101 Mallory Lane, Landrum, was charged with several felony counts including first-degree rape of a child and incest. A Polk County grand jury returned 21 true bills of indictment against Mullins on Wednesday, according to news released by the Sheriff's Office.
He was indicted for one count of first-degree rape of a child, six counts of first-degree sexual offense, six counts of indecent liberties with a child, six counts of felony child abuse-sexual act, one count of incest and one count of incest with a child under 13.
Polk County deputies say their investigation began in January when they received information from the Spartanburg County (S.C.) Sheriff's Office regarding charges Mullins faces for sexual misconduct in South Carolina.
The Sheriff's Office and Tryon Police Department began looking into more allegations within the county and city limits of Tryon. Detectives interviewed suspected victims and witnesses and conferred with the district attorney's office.
Mullins was arrested and taken before the magistrate, where he was given a $1 million secure bond. His first court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.

Disease due to the tapeworm Taenia solium occurs in two forms: taeniasis and cysticercosis.
Taeniasis is the intestinal infection with adult tapeworms. It is a mild disease, but of significant public health importance as it plays a crucial role in the transmission of cysticercosis, a serious disease.
Cysticercosis is the infection with the larval stages (cysticerci) of the tapeworm. Inside the body, cysticerci can develop in a number of tissues; those that are located in the central nervous system cause neurocysticercosis, the most severe form of the disease.
Neurocysticercosis is considered to be a common infection of the central nervous system and is the most frequent preventable cause of epilepsy in the developing world.
