While July 4 may fall in the middle of a week this year, that doesn't mean there won't be plenty of events to help celebrate the nation's independence. From ice cream socials, to parades, an antique tractor show and, of course, fireworks, those who may have the holiday off can find something fun to do.
"(Independence Day) is what made this country what it is and we are a melting pot," said Danny Hills, second vice commander in charge of organizing the annual Independence Day parade for AMVETS Post 1788. "This is the people's parade and all are welcome."
The parade will line up at 9 a.m. Wednesday at Fourth and Butler streets in Marietta and everyone, from Boy Scouts to politicians to children on bikes, is welcome to participate, according to Hills.

"This is something that we have taken on to do - this and the Pearl Harbor observance. (Spectator) attendance has been dwindling and it is disappointing but we need to have a resurgence because this is for them," Hills said.
The event will conclude at Armory Square on Front Street, where Mayor Joe Matthews has been invited to say a few words.
Another annual event, an antique engine and tractor show, will be held Wednesday in Beverly from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event was started 15 years ago by Beverly Lions Club members Richard McNabb and Louis Bauerbach as a way to fund Lions Club scholarship and other programs.
McNabb passed away prior to last year's event and Bauerbach was unable to attend but Beverly Lions Club member Kay Shreve said he is hoping to be able to attend this year.
"They started it because they were members of an engine club and thought it would be a good idea to have one here. So he is itching to go this year," she said.
Walt Schaad, a Lions Club member who also happens to be Bauerbach's son-in-law, said his father-in-law is going to try to bring some engines and possibly hand out tickets.
"A lot of people will come just to see him," Schaad said.
Along with spicing things up on the food menu with pulled pork and other offerings, another new thing the club is trying this year is meant to draw in more female visitors.
"My wife (Linda, Lions Club president) and I went to different tractor shows last year to see if there was something new we could do and a lot of them had vendors that were geared toward the women," Schaad said.
Shreve added that representatives of such companies as Thirty One, Tastefully Simple and others would be on hand this year.
An antique tractor parade will also be added this year.
"We're going to try it. We're going to go out on (Ohio) 60 this year and see how it goes," Schaad said.
Fireworks will be held at 10 p.m.
In Marietta, the annual fireworks display at the Washington County Fairgrounds will wrap up a two-day event which will include a demolition derby, mud bogg and amusement rides and concessions.
"We're going to have rides again this year," said fair board vice president Steve Tornes. "We're working with a company out of Duncan Falls and they will have about 8 to 10 rides, some food and games."
Tornes said it takes about $5,500 to put on the fireworks display and some money is donated while some money from the price of admission to the event will also go into the fund. Money is also raised for the annual Washington County Fair. The cost is $6 for age four and up, rides included, and free for age 3 and under, with $3 for rides.

We speculated when Disney first purchased Lucasfilm that it would mean the end of the two decade-plus licensing deal with Dark Horse Comics, and today, Disney announced that we were right, and the property is returning to Marvel Comcis.
Since its creation, Star Wars has had a long and illustrious history in comic books, from saving Marvel in the 1970s to the successful multi-title franchise at Dark Horse that reigned from 1991 until, as just announced, the end of 2014.
In light of the news that Marvel will take over Star Wars comics in 2015, here are 10 Essential Star Wars Comics.
The second original Star Wars comic following the conclusion of Marvel's adaptation of the first movie and, boy, does it show.
Essentially a rip-off of The Seven Samurai (or The Magnificent Seven, depending on your tastes) with Han and Chewie teaming up with such characters as aging Jedi Knight Don-Wan Kihotay (Say it out loud, you'll get it) and a giant green rabbit called Jaxon, this is a story that takes the sillier, pulpier aspects of what George Lucas came up with and ran with them... maybe even a little too far. If you're a hardcore fan of the mythology, this is likely to drive you crazy, but for everyone else, this is a surprisingly fun story that deserves more credit than it gets.
Available As: Collected in the Star Wars: A Long Time Ago Omnibus Vol. 1 trade paperback.
It makes sense that Star Wars would shine as a newspaper strip, in a weird way; considering its influences include Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, it almost feels like a family business.
But with Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson at the helm, the strips felt as authentic to their format as they did to the movies that spawned them, expanding the universe to include new characters, new adventures and the kind of art that classic comics are made of. Collected in three trades by Dark Horse years later, these are definitely worth checking out.
Available As: Collected in the Classic Star Wars: In Deadly Pursuit, The Rebel Storm and Escape To Hoth trade paperbacks.
For those who care about such things, this multi-issue storyline from Marvel's ongoing series, set in the period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi, may have a strong claim to being the best of the early Star Wars comics.
With art by the unstoppable team of Walt Simonson and Tom Palmer and a script by David Micheline (Underrated now, perhaps, but his work on this and Marvel's Indiana Jones title are as good as it gets), this story about the attempt to build a weapon that out-Death Stars the Death Star didn't just "get" Star Wars, it got it so well that it does Return of The Jedi far, far better than the movie itself. Check for yourself if you're doubtful; you'll be glad you did.
Available As: Collected in the Star Wars: A Long Time Ago Omnibus Vol. 3 trade paperback.
Seemingly at a loss for where to go after Return of The Jedi seemed to wrap up that whole "War" aspect of Star Wars, writer Jo Duffy decided to do what seems, in retrospect, fairly obvious but felt revolutionary at the time: Replace the Empire with new bad guys called the Nagai.
While the majority of this new threat were more bluster than blaster, they did include the Dark Lady Lumiya, a new villain who harkened back to Darth Vader by being an Imperial spy and one-time ally of Luke Skywalker who'd been left for dead on a mission before being turned into an unstoppable cyborg and mistress of the Dark Side. The series was cancelled before this story really turned into anything, but it remains some of the greatest build-up the original Marvel series had ever seen.
Available As: Collected in the Star Wars: A Long Time Ago Omnibus Vol. 5 trade paperback.
At the time of the creation of this mini-series by Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy originally announced as a Marvel project, before moving to Dark Horse as Lucasfilm switched licensing agreements between publishers the idea of making Star Wars a going concern seemed unlikely at best; the movie series had finished years ago, and the characters were living happily ever after... or so everyone thought.
All it took was Veitch's simple, but note-perfect story (essentially, what if Luke goes over to the Dark Side, tempted by an Emperor who wasn't as dead as everyone thought?) and Kennedy's luscious illustrations, and Star Wars lived again, with a comic that was as good as it'd ever been.
Available As: Collected in both the Star Wars: Dark Empire trade paperback and the Star Wars: Dark Empire Trilogy hardcover.
At its heart, The Clone Wars is a depressing concept, because presuming you've seen Revenge of The Sith you know that the good guys are destined to lose, and lose badly. Nothing drives this home as hard as Purge, which centers around the newly created Darth Vader hunting down and killing the last of the Jedi Order to ensure the dominance of the Galactic Empire and the secret Sith leadership.
As you might expect from the timeframe, it's not a story that ends happily unless the reason you were reading was to see Darth Vader turn out to be a badass and kill anyone who stands in his way, in which case, you'll probably have a smile on your face when you're done. Sicko.
Available As: Part of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Vol. 9: Endgame trade paperback.
The return of Star Wars to comics coincided with the full-scale unfolding of Star Wars from "three movies and some other stuff" to "The Expanded Universe." As a result, stories and series started appearing set in different eras, with all-new characters whose fates were open to question and not tied to any mass-media exploitation.
One of the best of these was Knights of the Old Republic, a series set thousands of years before the six movies that followed the adventures of Zayne Carrick, a trainee Jedi who was framed for the murder of other Jedi by his mentors, and has to find a way to clear his name, find out what's going on, and not get killed while doing so. John Jackson Miller's writing fit easily into the derring-do with a side order of comedy aesthetic of the movies while also breaking new ground, making this 50-issue series easy to get into even if you've never seen the movies (or played the game of the same name).
Available As: Collected in a series of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic trade paperbacks.
And speaking of stories set far away from the original movies, Legacy another 50 issue series by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema moved the action to more than a century after Return of The Jedi, with our hero being a former Jedi who's abandoned the Order for life as a Han Solo-esque smuggler and rogue.
Problem is, he's a descendant of Luke Skywalker, which pretty much means that it's part of the family business to deal with the threat posed by the Sith Emperor, who has decided that it'd be a great idea to try and take over the galaxy. Grittier and messier than the movies, this nonetheless managed to "feel" like Star Wars throughout, with stakes that at times somehow seemed even more epic than the original trilogy.
Available As: Collected in a series of Star Wars: Legacy trade paperbacks.
A Star Wars crossover sounds like a weird idea how does something crossover with itself, after all? but by 2008, Dark Horse had enough ongoing series set in different time periods that it felt confident to try it. The result was this 12-part storyline spread across four series and thousands of years about a Sith artifact that gave its owner dangerous powers so dangerous that even Darth Vader gets nervous.
Maybe more importantly, the storyline acted as a great introduction to both the Knights and Legacy continuities (the other two series were set in periods that coincided with the movies), and reinforced the connections between those satellite titles and the more familiar characters and events from readers' childhoods. As an "in" to the Expanded Universe, it's pretty great.
Available As: Collected in two Star Wars: Vector trade paperbacks.
The idea of a Star Wars anthology series is a fairly obvious one, but what made the Dark Horse series that ran for 24 issues between 1999 and 2005 work so well was the mix of stories it contained, from ones that were amazingly reverential to the movies to ones that... well, pretty much made fun (in a loving way!) of things that kind of deserved to be made fun of.
Not everything was canon, nor was it meant to be, but with contributors including Sergio Aragones, Peter David and Ben Templesmith, the majority of stories in the series were so good that, really, continuity was nowhere near your mind as you read them. Well worth tracking down.

I have a question.
For HD streaming I have now set up my PS3 directly with an ethernet cable from my mac because the router is to far away from the mac and PS3. (so, wireless internet on mac, cable to PS3 for PMS)
But, now I want to install a NAS server. So my set up would be (if that's possible, that's the question):
Internet comes into my home -> router -> (wireless repeater) -> cable to NAS, PS3 and imac.
Will this work? Since the wireless repeater is the "second" router in the system... Will this be able to give ip's and everything it needs and still be able stream HD video?
(I thought a wireless repeater would be the best option to have 4 ethernet ports, otherwise, a normal switch needs an input (no?))
I hope somebody understands because my explanation isn't that clear... I'm sorry for that.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Philosophy Department
These students presented their senior theses in philosophy in the annual colloquium exhibiting their best work:
Tim Baker ('16) Jake Murray ('16)
(Scroll to the bottom for more photos.)
What can we know? (epistemology)
What is real? (metaphysics)
How should we live? (ethics)

Majoring in Philosophy:
"In a New Generation of College Students, Many Opt for the Life Examined," W. Hu, New York Times, 2008.
"Is Philosophy the Most Practical Major?", Edward Tenner, The Atlantic, 2011.
"What Can I Do With A Humanities Degree?", Bruce Janz
Alumni/ae Perspectives:
"Currently I am living in Jamaica. Under the auspices of a US Fulbright grant, I am conducting interviews with local farmers to gather information on the phenomenon of raising chickens and livestock on city streets in the very urban capital of Kingston. Every day, I use the skills I developed while studying philosophy. I think back to the importance my professors placed on reading challenging articles from around the world, learning to listen close enough to an argument to really understand it from that person's point of view, and learning to present one's ideas confidently and articulately, both inside the classroom and publicly. These are skills I use whether I am analyzing data, reading studies by regional scholars, or relying on confidence and public speaking skills to meet with strangers and ask them to share their lives with me."
Alison Helmuth ('07), Fulbright Scholar in Jamaica after Witt, now Ph.D. student in sociology at The George Washington University, living in Washington D.C.
"My study of philosophy at Wittenberg University informs nearly every aspect of my work at Highland School. Perhaps most obviously, the subject matter of philosophy permeates my teaching. Yes, we begin with texts like the Ramayana, Things Fall Apart, and Julius Caesar, but from there we move outward, seeking to engage with important questions. Why is there something instead of nothing? What are the implications of adopting a stance of cultural pluralism? Is there ever a time when violence might be necessary? I teach young minds, and they want to know. However, in order for them to know, I have to teach them to read carefully, interrogate critically, and communicate clearly, all habits that philosophy demands. Beyond the classroom, however, it is my job as an administrator to lead and support students and faculty on a more programmatic level. Again, the philosophic mindset and skill set enables me to effectively perform my job. Among other things, I have to be able to adopt a compassionate imagination while seeking to understand another's struggles or successes, clearly communicate with colleagues, students, and parents, and, most dauntingly for me, organize my duties into a (mostly) manageable workload. Every day, I am reminded of how invaluable my study of philosophy has been to my life after school. I am also reminded of how lucky I was to be part of such an outstanding department with faculty who are so clearly invested in not just the subject matter that they teach, but also the students who they teach."
Ronnie Ross ('09), Instructor of English after Witt in the Upper School at Highland School, Warrenton, Virginia, where after two years he became Freshman Dean and is now also Director of Character and Leadership
"Given my interest in pursuing graduate studies in philosophy, the philosophy department at Wittenberg prepared me for the intensive program that is to be expected at the graduate level. The rigorous standards set by the faculty enabled me to easily transition into professional studies."
Rich Wilson ('06), M.A. in Philosophy at Virginia Tech after Witt, now an officer in the U.S. Navy, living in San Diego
"The philosophy department paid particular attention the ability to create a plan and a timeline for ourselves as we began our senior theses. I'm capable of staying on track with nearly any project now. My experience with research has also helped me be employable. Writing bibliographies for children's literature is easy compared to the massive excavation of obscure academic literature that I completed for my senior thesis. And now as I prepare for graduate school several years later, I'm still finding that the professors in the philosophy department are willing to offer their support and guidance."
Emily Ann Guhde ('05), Teach for America after Witt, now a children's librarian, living in Yellow Springs, Ohio
"A philosophy major from Witt is a planter full of the richest soil. Being able to pick up a book and within a couple hours to articulate its fundamental argument and integrity within a particular field clearly indicates effective undergrad preparation. Then a couple hours later admitting that you got it all wrong because you missed a major premise that redistributes your whole thinking on the book, this sort of criticism—of the self alongside ideas—signals a commitment to learning that only the truest education can instill. I took this class at Wittenberg named African American Philosophy. Now I'm at Yale Divinity School taking classes called Ministry to the Disinherited, and Christian Ethics and Social Problems, and MLK and the Civil Rights Movement. I can trace a line directly from my undergrad transcript through my masters transcript that will surely keep on going. My time at Witt didn't just prepare me for further study; it made me a philosopher and a theologian. A Wittenberg philosophy major is an education, an immersion, an induction into love of learning, and not learning for learning's sake but learning for the sake of social justice, and moral literacy, and knowledgeable debate, and reconciliation, and the imagining and making of a better world—both its people and ideas. That's what I'm striving for now with my philosophy major."
Daniel Jacob ('10), finishing an M.Div. at Yale Divinity School, living in New Haven Connecticut
"I often hear people complain about reading and discussing philosophy: it is too abstract, they say, too far from the concrete and irrelevant to the problems we confront daily on a local and global scale. This may be true in some philosophy classrooms, but I never found this to be the case at Wittenberg. Underlying every class discussion was the assumption that the material we were studying was not only relevant, but essential to understanding the problems we face as a world. Our conversations were something like experimentation; we explored how different ideas or theories result from particular circumstances, and how they affect perceptions of education, the body, and human rights. If you simply browse the list of courses, you will see how practically-oriented the department is: 'Gender, Science, and Medicine,' 'Knowledge and Social Change,' 'Philosophy of Revolution in Latin America,' 'Ethics and Psychology."' My time spent studying under the philosophy professors at Wittenberg prompted me to think differently, read and write differently, buy differently, eat differently, and vote differently. These aren't habits that you discard after graduation, but ones that you carry with you for the rest of your life."

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, March 19, 2013
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- Sparks flew at the Columbia County Commission meeting Tuesday night as supporters and critics of CSRA Happy Tails took the podium. The animal rescue has been suspended for a year after violations.
At a rally before the meeting, dozens showed up to support Happy Tails. Many brought their dogs, rescued from Happy Tails, and shared stories about all that Happy Tails has done for the community.
"Whoever had owned them had them staked out on chains out in the wintertime," said Daniel Schubert about his dog. "It was probably about 10 degrees out.
He adopted his dog four years ago from Happy Tails. Happy Tails rescued his dog and a few others and then adopted them out to families like Schubert's, but he says that's not all they've done.
"We have a lot of soldiers that have animals and they'll deploy and come under hardship and the dogs get left sometimes because you can't move them, and so they've taken in," Schubert said.
At 6 p.m., the group then headed for the commission meeting.
"I'm going to share the accomplishments we've made in the last 10 years of our existence in this county just to make sure they are aware of the vast work that we've done," said Happy Tails Founder Barbara Gleitsmann.
The commission meeting didn't come without a conflict with two people standing up to speak against Happy Tails.
"I'm dumbfounded that she is still on this witch hunt because she's the one that has largely stirred all this stuff about this rescue group and it is extremely hurtful and it's unnecessary," said Gleitsmann about the former volunteer who spoke against her.
The former volunteer prepared a presentation and speech for the commission members.
"I know what we do, the people out there know what we do," Gleitsmann said. "I don't want to spend another breath trying to defend myself against someone like that. I'm not gonna do it."
In the end, the commission did not take any action. Commission Chairman Ron Cross says it's a state matter, but that answer didn't satisfy some supporters.
"You have to stand up for things that are wrong and this is wrong. This is totally wrong," said supporter Elaine Vanderlinden. "It's the animals that are gonna suffer. There are gonna be hundreds more killed because they can't rescue."
Gleitsmann says her next step is launching an initiative to see how many pets they can spay or neuter in May and October. She has low-cost clinics signed up and will be holding fundraisers to help pet owners who can't afford it.
As for the future of Happy Tails, Gleitsmann says it's out of her hands and up to the Department of Agriculture at this point. She doesn't know if she will reapply for a license next year.

In response to the housing crisis and the onslaught of foreclosures, the federal government established the Making Home Affordable Program, which includes several strategies to help financially distressed homeowners. Recently, the National Consumer Law Center took a look at one of the largest of those strategies, the Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, which was launched in 2009.
Under HAMP, borrowers can apply to have their monthly mortgage payments lowered to make them more affordable over the long term. Lenders and mortgage loan servicers don't have to participate. But to encourage modifications, participating servicers are provided with financial incentives to modify loans to help homeowners avoid foreclosure.
Has the program been a success? Yes and no, the law center says.
Before HAMP, nearly half of all loan modifications failed, according to a recent report by the center. Now, more than 80 percent of the modifications negotiated under HAMP are still in place a year after they have been made. The modifications have also significantly lowered re-default and foreclosure rates compared with modifications made outside the program. Almost 850,000 homeowners have HAMP modifications that are working, according to the report.
"For the people who got modifications, the program was outstandingly successful," said Diane E. Thompson, an attorney with the law center and one of the co-authors of the report. "Most would not have gotten modification without HAMP, and they would not have gotten the deep and sustainable modifications they needed."
Although the statistics are good, it's still not enough when you compare it to the projected number of borrowers the administration thought it could help. HAMP hasn't come close to reaching the 3 million to 4 million households first estimated.
"When you look at who needed modifications and who didn't get them or how difficult it was to get a one, the program is a failure," Thompson said.
The law center concluded that HAMP would be more successful were it not for "massive servicer noncompliance."
The law center suggests that to reach more homeowners, the program should standardize the evaluations used to determine if a mortgage can be modified, ensure that modifications are truly affordable, require more transparency in the process and force servicers to participate.
"We really need to make this work," Thompson said. "We are not talking about giving people something for free. But when it makes economic sense for the borrower, lender or investor to modify a loan, we should."
Nearly 4 million homeowners have lost their homes due to foreclosure, and up to 10 million homes are at high risk for foreclosure over the next several years, according to the law center. HAMP is scheduled to end Dec. 31.

Court documents indicate that psychiatric tests are inconclusive on the last of five bridge bomb-plotting suspects in northeast Ohio.
Federal prosecutors say in a court filing entered last week that they agree with the defense for Joshua Stafford of Cleveland that the results were inconclusive on his mental competence.
But the government says a hearing before a federal judge in Akron should provide evidence that Stafford is mentally fit to stand trial. No hearing date has been set.
No bomb went off and no one was hurt. The four other defendants have pleaded guilty.
The target was a highway bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park between Cleveland and Akron. The FBI said the device was a dud provided by an informant.

One Story
There are lots of reasons to love One Story, even if you hate me. There is, for instance, the fact that they have published such fine writers as Kelly Link, Judy Budnitz, Alan DeNiro, Stephen Dixon, Binyavanga Wainana, Gregory Maguire, and many others. Their format is great fun -- living up to their title, they publish a single story in each issue, as a sort of chapbook. They're portable, convenient, not overwhelming, and sometimes even kind of cute. They have a blog. They tend to win awards. (Indeed, I first became aware of them when judging the Fountain Award, which this year they ended up winning.) At the AWP Conference in March, they had rubber duckies in an inflatable swimming pool, for no reason I could quite figure out except that rubber duckies and inflatable swimming pools were exactly what the staid halls of AWP needed. And editor Hannah Tinti gives extraordinarily useful feedback (or at least she did for me).
Therefore, today's Public Service Announcement is a simple but heartfelt one: One Story is awesome. Don't be afraid to subscribe!

You have a story in a journal that won an award that you judged?ReplyDelete
A story from the magazine won an award this year when I was not a judge for it, though we did shortlist a story from it my year. (The story that won the year I was on the jury for the Fountain was published by an editor who before and after rejected work I submitted to her.) I don't know if Hannah even knew I'd served on the Fountain jury when she accepted the story. If writers were banned from ever submitting to markets that were shortlisted or even won awards the writer was on the jury for, people would have to choose between ever submitting their work anywhere, or being on awards juries. One Story gets enough submissions that they really don't need to accept stories for any reason other than liking them, and I have enough respect for the editors I submit to that I would be angry to have anything I wrote accepted for any reason other than that it was something they thought deserved to be published. To do otherwise is to do a disservice to writers, readers, and the integrity of the publication.ReplyDelete

That was honest and upfront of you. Thank you for clarifying your involvement with OneStory, etc. Congrats on your acceptance, as well.ReplyDelete

Advancing Women's Leadership
Women currently make up 15 percent of corporate management, 16 percent of law partners, and less than 3 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs. NCRW and its partners are working to improve these numbers as they work toward a critical mass, often viewed as 30 percent representation, across sectors to benefit the economy and society through women's talents and perspectives. Without sufficient numbers, women's ideas, views and analyses risk being marginalized or perceived as representing a narrow minority. With greater access to opportunities and positions of influence, the likelihood of acceptance and professional success for women and people of color increases.

Children's Health
Sleep Drugs Often Prescribed for Kids
Aug. 1, 2007 -- Children with sleep problems are likely to be prescribed a sleeping pill or other medication approved only for adults, according to a new study.
When researchers from The Ohio State University and the University of Missouri evaluated 18.6 million children's doctor visits for sleep problems, they found that 81% of visits included a prescription for a medication. The study appears in the Aug. 1 issue of the journal Sleep.
"The findings raise concern because of the large number of patients affected," says researcher Milap C. Nahata, PharmD. Nahata is professor and division chairman at Ohio State's College of Pharmacy and professor of pediatrics and internal medicine at the College of Medicine. "We tend to jump on medication right away."
While he and other sleep experts agree that medication may sometimes help children with sleep problems, they suggest medication is best used in combination with other approaches, such as behavioral therapy. Nahata tells WebMD that studies of the medications in children are needed.
Prescription Patterns for Children With Sleeping Problems
For the study, Nahata and his colleagues evaluated information from a large database, the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, from 1993 to 2004, to find out what doctors prescribed or advised when young patients came in for help with sleep problems.
Children were aged 17 and under, all experiencing sleep difficulties such as insomnia. Most visits were by children ages 6 to 12. Pediatricians, psychiatrists, family practice doctors, and others saw the patients.
Among the medications prescribed were sleeping pills such as Ambien and Sonata as well as other medications sometimes prescribed to help sleep problems, such as the antihistamine Atarax, the antidepressant Desyrel, and the high blood pressure medicine Catapres.
Antihistamines were most often prescribed for the children's sleep problems, given in 33% of the visits, followed by blood pressure drugs (26%), benzodiazepines such as the sleeping pill Restoril (15%), antidepressants (6%), and nonbenzodiazepine drugs such as the sleeping pills Ambien and Sonata (1%).
Doctors prescribing the medications that are not approved for use in children did so "off-label," a legal and common practice.
Nahata says his team did the study because there has not been a large study on the topic so far. The results surprised him, he tells WebMD.
"I was thinking one-third [of visits would involve prescription medication]," he says. Beyond the scope of the study, he says, was whether the medications prescribed were appropriate for the condition and how long the children used them.

Searching for some compression socks and calf sleeves..wanting to hear some advice on what brands are the best and most comfortable or if they are even worth buying.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us..
I have CEP compression socks that I love to wear when I'm running and for recovery. I tried a paid of 2XU calf sleeves for races and ended up hating them. They were just too tight to wear for any kind of activity (even though I used their measurement guide when I ordered). They are however perfect for recovery. I'd recommend going to shop that sells them where they'll know the differences between the brands so they can help you pick what would work. I bought mine online so was really shopping more for price.
I've used several brands, including calf sleeves, socks and tights: 2xU, Zensah, Recofit, CEP and Zoot.
The only brand I can recommend without reservation is Zoot (quality, actual ability to compress, retaining compression after repeated washings). CEP has been a close second.
I personally use 110% brand, because you can fill it with ice, and for a bunch of other reasons I talk about in the video here:
There's also a bunch of compression research on that page. Hope it helps!

31 January 2011
Paris is an extraordinary city. I love that the old is seamlessly woven into the new. So much history yet so modern at the same time. I was there for a week and felt like it was a perfect amount of time to fully enjoy it all. The weather wasn't perfect, it was cloudy and drizzly. I think the sun peeked out twice the entire time I was there. Luckily, I love the biting cold so I had no problem with it. I also brought enough ammunition (vitamin c, ecchinacea, and zinc) to fight off any nasty buggers!
I stayed at the Hotel Roma Sacre Coer in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. It's in a charming area, near Moulin Rouge and Montmartre. I was very lucky to have the 6th floor where I had a spectacular view of the old neighborhood. I seriously could just sit there and stare out and daydream all day.
The Paris metro transportation is superb. It's incredibly friendly to use. I don't think I'd get lost even if I tried to. One interesting bit about the metro though, is that most of the train doors don't automatically open for you to enter or leave. It requires you to manually lift a handle or press a button to open the door. I actually really enjoyed that.
So the first thing I did in Paris was take the metro to the Vanves flea market. It was in a quaint neighborhood. The vendors were friendly. I only bought a little wooden figurine but there were some nice things I wish I could have taken with me, like lamps and some sweet chairs. Sorry, I have no photos to show but you have take my word for it. I enjoyed this flea market more than Saint-Ouen, it was overwhelming there, and it started to rain hard that day so I left after strolling for 30 minutes.
The people in Paris are nice and friendly. Many were very patient with me even when all I could say is bonjour, merci and au revoir in restaurants. And I already mentioned that the Parisians are gorgeous and dreamy with their effortless style, right? Swoon to the max!
Beside thrift stores, I was very curious about French food because I seldom eat it at home. Let's just say, I ate a lot of baguette with cheese, and drank more coffee than I did in the past five years. I loved eating duck leg (confit de canard) with potatoes. I even tried blood sausages (antilles boudin antillais). Scrumptious! I also had savory crepes every day from crepe stands. And it wouldn't be right if I didn't try some Parisian vietnamese pho which was delicious and perfect for the cold weather.
Alright, I'll post part two of Paris in a bit because there's much to show and I don't even know where to start and end. Oh, before I forget, I'm also planning to do a a giveaway of Polaroid prints I took in Paris, so be on the look out!

Classic! hehe.. Can't wait to see Pt II..ReplyDelete
CHANTALE - You will love it! About the Parisian attitude, they get a pretty bad rep here too. Even one of my French friends there told me that they can be a bit aloof.

- Failure of Warriors' waterfront arena the latest in a long line of bay development defeats
- Kawakami exclusive: Joe Lacob interview
OAKLAND -- With cost estimates and political opposition rising, the Golden State Warriors abandoned their waterfront arena plan Monday and turned their attention to a site 10-blocks south of AT&T Park.
The Warriors announced an agreement to purchase a 12-acre lot from Salesforce.com in San Francisco's Mission Bay district where the team will build an 18,000-seat arena scheduled to open for the 2018-2019 NBA season.
"We're definitely doing this and we're very excited about it," Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob said.
The new site is a vacant lot at 3rd and 16th Streets adjacent to a UC San Francisco campus. It is well-served by Muni and eventually will be home to a Central Subway stop that would provide a direct connection to Powell Street. The site also would not be impacted by a June ballot initiative seeking to require voter approval for certain waterfront developments that violate existing height limits.
Lacob said the arena project will feature a 5.5-acre waterfront park and could include retail and office development.
The arena could still include a view of the Bay, although it would be near a grittier piece of waterfront without the Bay Bridge view that was a major selling point of the previous arena site at Piers 30-32 along the Embarcadero.
While the new site isn't an aesthetic showstopper, it does appear to solve the growing political and regulatory battles the Warriors faced building atop the piers.
Former San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos, who led the fight against the waterfront arena, lauded the team's decision to switch to a different location.
"San Francisco is the big winner today," he said. "I'm glad the Warriors came to this conclusion because they were in for a very lengthy multiyear resistance."
The Warriors original plan included a hotel and luxury condominium tower, but Agnos said that the Warriors told him Monday that they had no plans for either at the new site.
The Warriors waterfront plan encountered both political and financial hurdles. Last year, voters rejected a luxury high-rise condominium project along the waterfront, a signal that the Warriors' development might also be defeated at the ballot box.
Additionally, the cost of renovating the piers for the arena had roughly doubled to $180 million in the two years since the Warriors announced their arena plan. The team also would have needed approval from state regulators to move to the piers, but will now only have to deal with city agencies.
"This is a much ... more doable site at the end of the day," Lacob said.
The waterfront site was shelved despite strong support from San Francisco political and business leaders.
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bob Linscheid said his organization's studies showed that voters would have supported the waterfront arena, but he was happy the Warriors had clearly committed to moving to San Francisco.
"It's not going to be an iconic figure on the waterfront," he said. "But sometimes you have to go with what you know rather than something that might require a deeper process."
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, who championed the waterfront arena, called the new plan, "a big win" for the city.
Salesforce.com declined to comment or release details of the land sale. The company had purchased the property for $278 million, according to Business Week, but later chose not to build a campus there.
The Warriors' decision to buy land for an arena in San Francisco appears to end any chance of them staying in Oakland, where officials had hoped the team would consider staying if the waterfront arena failed to materialize.
"I wish them well," Councilman Larry Reid said. "It was my hope that the Warriors would build a new arena in Oakland, but there doesn't seem to be anything we can do."

A savings of time, money, and effort in communicating with members in a timely manner has yet to be achieved by the advantages offered by the Bulletin website.
Whenever a new posted is loaded onto the site, an email with that post is sent to each person on the email subscription list. In essence, one action takes the place of two in communicating to the membership.
However, a recent check of the email subscribers list indicates that only a few members who have email are taking advantage of this option. Of the 30 people who are email subscribers, only 12 are current members of the society. Eighteen people who get our email updates are not society members. We welcome them to our service, but this still leaves us in a bind in communicating with members. In addition, only six members who live in Wood County are receiving email updates.
The recent email sent to almost 60 members was already posted at this bulletin website, but it was necessary to send the message again to all members because so few are signed up for our automatic service.
I know that whether or not you sign up to receive emails (or even read the emails which come to your inbox) is your right, and I wouldn't presume to tell anyone they should. However, it would be very helpful to society volunteer officers, chair persons, and other volunteering members if we could use this inexpensive communications tool.
If you would like to sign up, just go to the top of the left column on this web page (www.woodtxgene.com) and click on the "Email Subscription" link. It's quick, easy, and relatively painless — and it would improve our society communication immensely.

Port line to get final Irene fix
PORT JERVIS — Remember Irene? Last year's hurricane?
Well, Metro-North Railroad will undertake the last of its post-Irene repairs on the Port Jervis line this weekend, a project that will require busing riders between the Harriman and Ramsey/Route 17 train stations.
Busing will begin late Friday, following the evening rush hour, and end with the first train of the morning rush hour on Monday. The busing will alter some arrival or departure times in a schedule that is still in flux following this year's hurricane. Riders should check www.mta.info or www.njtransit.com for specifics.
"This (installation of a new culvert) is the final construction work to complete the restoration of the Port Jervis line following its devastation last year," said Marjorie Anders, a Metro-North spokeswoman.
The culvert is one of several new ones that hydrologists recommended be installed to improve drainage in the vicinity of Sloatsburg, where the Port Jervis line runs between Route 17 and the Ramapo River, and where Irene floodwaters left the tracks dangling in the air.
Design for new structures
The new culverts and retaining walls are designed to channel Ramapo storm water beneath the tracks and stop it from washing over them and washing away ballast, a system that held during Hurricane Sandy.
Anders said Metro-North's track and structures department will install the 24-inch culvert under the tracks at Washington Avenue in Sloatsburg. Crews will excavate a trench, leaving the tracks in place, and then install the six eight-foot sections of precast concrete piece by piece.
The damage to the Port Jervis line, originally estimated as high as $50 million, ultimately totaled $16 million, a sizeable chunk of the $65 million in claims that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its insurance carriers in August. Full service on the line was suspended for three months.

Bravo, bravo, bravo, Roger! Done with verve, style, power, and that effortless looking ease of movement. And it is, in a way, because it has lot to do with how you align your body with the ball coming at you, or the one you are returning, or when serving, or when moving over the court as though skimming it. Balance, reflexes, intuition, a tremendous knowledge of tennis, and a vast array of weaponry, and then the strategy and tactics. I kew you woud get the ranking back, Wimby title, records set!
This Wimbledon triumph, the culmination of intense hard work and hard rock determination is a stepping stone in Roger's career of immense proportion, it has shown the world, if there was any doubt, that Roger will never be happy with less than the best. Much more will come Rogi !!! On to the Golden Olympics ! I am counting the days...I want to see that Gold medal sparkling around your neck where it belongs 1
Way to go Champ! Congratulations! Happy to see you back being World No. 1 and have your 17th grand slam title! ^^
You deserved it Champ! You're a wonderful person and ypou have a pure and elegant soul, just as Wimbledon that is the most elegant of the Slams. :-*

Three-time Grammy nominee and Americana Music Award winner Darrell Scott comes to Keystone Bluegrass & Beer this weekend after the January release of his seventh studio album, "Long Ride Home." He describes the album as "the old country music of cheating, drinking, working" and "longing," pointing out that it predates Garth Brooks, video and the urban cowboy era. It's "the voice of working people, people of the land," said the Scott, whose Kentucky roots lie among Scottish and Irish coal miners who became tobacco farmers in the early part of the 20th century. The album was recorded with Hargus "Pig" Robbins, his band mate Dennis Crouch from Band of Joy and his longtime friend Kenny Malone, among others. Two of the songs he co-wrote on a writing trip with his father when he was 16 years old. "It is country music how I remember it," said Scott, who gives a 1 p.m. songwriting seminar at Warren Station Sunday followed by a free concert at 3 p.m. on the Montezuma Plaza stage.
Called "a key figure in today's thriving roots scene," Tim O'Brien is a songwriter, bandleader, instrumentalist and vocalist. He has recorded with the Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley, Nickel Creek, Kathy Mattea and the New Grass Revival, among others. Lately he has been performing before capacity crowds in the band of Mark Knopfler, who described O'Brien as "a master of American folk music, Irish music, Scottish music - it doesn't matter; a fine songwriter and one of my favorite singers." O'Brien released his 13th solo album, "Chicken and Egg," last month. "This stuff reflects what goes on in the life of someone my age," O'Brien said. "I'm 56 years old. I'm not the young kid on the scene - and I'm happy about that. ... There's a little love song action here and there, but mostly it's about living life." O'Brien plays Warren Station with The Casey Driessen Singularity at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and gives a singing seminar at 11 a.m. Sunday.

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the arm is an imaging method that uses x-rays to make cross-sectional pictures of the arm.
CAT scan - arm; Computed axial tomography scan - arm; Computed tomography scan - arm; CT scan - arm
You will be asked to lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner.
Once you are inside the scanner, the machine's x-ray beam rotates around you. (Modern "spiral" scanners can perform the exam without stopping.)
A computer creates separate images of the arm area, called slices. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor, or printed on film. Three-dimensional models of the arm can be created by adding the slices together.
You must be still during the exam. Movement can cause blurred images. You may be told to hold your breath for short periods of time.
The scan should take only 10-15 minutes.
For some tests, you will need to have a special dye, called contrast, to be delivered into the body before the test starts. Contrast helps certain areas show up better on the x-rays.
If you weigh more than 300 pounds, find out if the CT machine has a weight limit. Too much weight can cause damage to the scanner's working parts.
You will be asked to remove jewelry and wear a hospital gown during the study.
Some people may have discomfort from lying on the hard table.
Contrast given through an IV may cause a slight burning sensation, a metallic taste in the mouth, and a warm flushing of the body. These feels are normal . They will go away within a few seconds.
CT rapidly creates detailed pictures of the body, including the arms. The test may help detect or diagnose:
A CT scan may also be used to guide a surgeon to the right area during a biopsy.
Results are considered normal if no problems are seen in the images.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Risks of CT scans include:
CT scans expose you to more radiation than regular x-rays. Having many x-rays or CT scans over time may increase your risk for cancer. However, the risk from any one scan is small. You and your doctor should weigh this risk against the benefits of getting a correct diagnosis for a medical problem.
Some people have allergies to contrast dye. Let your doctor know if you have ever had an allergic reaction to injected contrast dye.
Rarely, the dye may cause a life-threatening allergic response called anaphylaxis. If you have any trouble breathing during the test, let the scanner operator know right away. Scanners have intercom and speakers so the operator can hear you at all times.

The Marceline Tigers and Lady Tigers traveled down Highway 36 to Shelbina for a pair of varsity basketball games against South Shelby in non-conference action on Tuesday night. The black rage basketball teams split wins on this occasion, their first road games of the season.
In the opener, the Lady Tigers toppled the Lady Birds 60-40. "The girls jumped out to a big first quarter lead and maintained their lead throughout the game," said Head Coach Kent O'Laughlin. "Our defense forced South Shelby into a lot of turnovers, which aided in picking up several easy baskets. We had fairly good balance in our scoring."
Abby Gauthier had eight points, one board, five assists, and four steals. Molly Shoop had five points, three assists, and two steals. Sydnee Brooks had two points, five boards, and three steals. Natalie Allen had two boards. Morgan McCormick had 12 points, 14 boards, four assists, and five steals. Kendra Gladbach had 22 points, 10 boards, three assists, and seven steals. Kelsey Gardner had two points, and four boards. Madison McCormick had nine points, three boards, three assists, and two steals.
In the nightcap, the Tigers lost to the Cardinals 64-53. "We came out and played with great effort and were in the game until late," said Coach O'Laughlin. "South Shelby's size was a match-up problem for us inside. It is time to get ready for the Monroe City Tournament next week."
Blake Linebaugh had one board, five assists, and one steal. Daniel Corbin had one board and one steal. Frankie Herring had four points, three boards, and three assists. Chase Hilsabeck had 27 points, three boards, and five steals. Brett McGlothlin had 18 points, four boards, three assists, and four steals. Shane Weimer had four points, and two boards.

LAS VEGAS -- Warriors coach Steve Kerr has yet to get together with forward David Lee after several meetings were postponed, including the forward's trip to Las Vegas.
But the two have spoken several times, with Kerr early on having talked to both Lee and Klay Thompson about their names surfacing in trade talks and rumors regarding Kevin Love.
"They both get it," Kerr said Saturday before the Warriors' 74-72 summer league win over Phoenix. "I told them, 'I know you get it. It doesn't make it any easier.'
"But this is why you really get paid. I mean, you get paid all this money, is it really for coming into a gym for two hours a day and shooting jump shots? We've been doing that for free our whole life, you know? You get paid because you can get traded, and you have to uproot your family. You can get hurt, you can get booed, and people on the message board are crushing you. That's where you actually earn your money in this league, where it actually feels like work."
Lee, who earned a trip to the All-Star game and has averaged a double-double in four seasons with the Warriors, would likely need to be included in a potential trade for Love because of his high salary. But if the Warriors don't make a trade, Kerr likes Lee for what the coach has planned on offense.
"I'm a big fan," Kerr said. "Especially the way we're going to play -- a lot of cutting, slashing -- and with Steph (Curry) and Klay coming off curls and stuff, I love the little slips, and David's as good as anybody at slashing and finishing when there's ball movement. So he's a big part of this."
Co-owner Joe Lacob told NBA TV during Saturday's game: "Kevin Love's a really good player. We think our players are really good, too."
As complements to Lee, Kerr has envisioned Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green as stretch forwards. Last season, Barnes' 3-point shooting dipped to 34.7 percent while Green's improved to 33.3 percent.
"He's shooting a ton," Kerr said of Green.
"He's such a hard worker, and he knows that's a skill (of his). ... That's something we really need on our roster, and Draymond and Harrison can both help in that regard."
"I thought that lob pass that I drew up from Nedo to Holiday was just the perfect call," Kerr joked.
The final minute also saw Kerr become enraged at an official for calling a foul on Aaron Craft, who was going for a steal.
Holiday finished with a game-high 29 points, leading the Warriors to their 16th straight summer league win.
Kerr, who helped Phoenix owner Robert Sarver purchase the team and eventually became the Suns' general manager, described his ownership stake as "very, very small."
"I'm not Steve Ballmer," Kerr said of the former Microsoft CEO who in May agreed to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers for $2 billion. "I'm Steve Kerr."

As the peak homebuying season ends, months of rising prices, tight inventory and competition from investors have left many would-be first-time buyers on the sidelines.
Prices are up an astonishing 31.7 percent in August from a year ago for all types of homes in the nine-county Bay Area, and for moderate-income buyers that represents a growing hurdle.
And the slice of home sales for less than $500,000 has dropped from a combined 59.1 percent to 42.2 percent in August in Contra Costa, Alameda, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, according to real estate information company DataQuick. Homes under $300,000 are down from a combined 29.7 percent in the four counties to 15.2 percent.
Alicia Ambrosini, a corporate wellness professional in her mid-20s who is renting in Dublin, looked for a home to buy in the summer in Castro Valley, Hayward and San Leandro, while watching prices rise.
"In the past two months, I've seen a dramatic increase to the point where it's putting a condo a little bit out of reach," she said. "I have to go back and re-evaluate some of my choices."
Not only have too many condos inched up beyond her $300,000 limit, she's being "aced out" by investors whose cash offers have trumped her bid five times this season, she said.
"The price is driven up by these cash offers," she said. "There's a fair amount of frustration. I'm like many people in the Bay Area -- hardworking but getting put up against investors."
The only way some first-timers can buy is with help.
Ramy Ugarte, a 24-year-old engineering forecaster for a San Ramon company, said he was "ready to call it quits" after almost a year of looking at condos and homes and getting beaten out "on maybe 15 to 20 offers."
"When I started looking I was going for condos, and I was looking at this one complex that started at $180,000. By October they were in the $300,000s," Ugarte said.
He turned to Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley. Now, he's moving into a house he bought in Hayward for $375,000, with loan assistance from a five-county program run by the nonprofit.
"It's pretty terrible out there," said Matt Huerta, chief executive officer of Neighborhood Housing Services. "It's impossible for moderate-income families."
Home affordability has dropped for first-time buyers of starter-priced homes, according to the California Association of Realtors.
The percentage of first-time buyers who could afford to buy in the Bay Area fell from 66 percent in the first quarter of 2012 to 45 percent in the second quarter of this year, the association reported.
"You need a full spectrum of workers to support a community and the big cut in housing affordability is a concern, a big concern," said Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist for the Realtors group. "Also you've got a fairly tight rental market with no vacancy and rents going up."
The number of lower- to middle-income people who want to buy a home is actually increasing, said Kevin Zwick, CEO of the Housing Trust Silicon Valley, which offers down payment and second mortgage loans to first-time buyers. The turnout for the Trust's homebuyer workshops "is larger than ever," Zwick said, "and all of them can qualify for a home up to $500,000. They simply can't buy, because there are too few homes."
"This is the toughest market in the 13 years we have been making loans," he said. "It's never been this tough for families earning less than $100,000 a year. It's the lack of inventory that is creating this mini-bubble here. Prices will come down when there are more homes on the market."
Though inventory is improving slightly, months of rising prices sidelined many buyers, said Craig Ragg, president of the Bay East Association of Realtors and a Castro Valley real estate professional. "Many people fell out of the market because of that," he said. "There are people that had to give up, and that did give up. They just got priced out of the marketplace."
In Oakland, for example, foreclosure resales -- a source of lower-priced homes -- dropped from 18.4 percent of single-family home sales a year ago to 7.6 percent in August, according to DataQuick. And the median sale price of an existing single-family home jumped from $287,500 in August 2012 to $459,000 this August -- a 59.7 percent increase over the year.
But prices are just one challenge facing people who can only afford a lower-priced home. Interest rates are nearly 1 percent above where they were in May. In Berkeley and Oakland, "people were struggling to compete as it was, and when interest rates rose they just dropped out altogether," said Mark Biggins of Redfin. "I've seen a lot of people drop out and continue renting like they did before."
A 1 percent increase will raise a 30-year monthly mortgage payment by 10 percent, said Jed Kolko, chief economist with the online real estate site Trulia. And continuing to rent is no panacea, he said.
"Affordability is worsening both for buying and for renting," he said. "Rents are rising faster than incomes, and home prices are rising much faster than incomes."

Newly ranked USC Upstate sweeps softball twinbill vs. ETSU
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 11:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 11:05 p.m.
USC Upstate did what you'd expect a Top 25 team to do.
The Spartans, on the day after joining the NCAA Division I softball rankings for first time any program at the school had done so, routed East Tennessee State in sweeping a doubleheader, 11-0 and 12-0, both by mercy rule in five innings at Cyrill Stadium.
USC Upstate head coach Chris Hawkins said the debut in the rankings was never even mentioned as the Spartans got ready for another matchup in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
"We never talked about it," Hawkins said. "But when it was announced, 'Here comes your 24th-ranked …,' it gave me a chill, to be honest. Not too many people are our level get to say that."
USC Upstate (34-3, 15-1) extended its winning streak to 13 games overall and 15 in the conference. The Spartans' only loss in the past 21 games was against third-ranked Florida. For the first time this season, they scored in double-figure runs in back-to-back contests.
Shellie Robinson homered in both, a towering two-run blast off the left-field light pole (halfway up) during the first game and two-run line shot out of the park to center during the second. The sophomore center fielder also had a run-scoring double.
After failing to score in the first inning of the doubleheader, the Spartans put up 23 runs while making only 21 outs the rest of the way. They lead the nation with a .361 team batting average.
"It's good to know that we're all hitting and we can count on everybody," Robinson said. "This whole season, it's been like that. What an awesome feeling."
Senior catcher Ericka Harris from Wren High School went 4-for-6 in the doubleheader and scored three runs. Junior left fielder and leadoff hitter Meredith Barnes had a three-run homer in the first game. Sophomore first baseman Cheyenne Griffin (Byrnes) and sophomore shortstop Maddison Kieffer each had three hits. Kieffer increased her team lead in batting average to .455.
Sophomore second baseman Dana Landers (Mauldin) had a couple of doubles. Freshman Jessica Ujvari went 2-for-3 with a couple of RBIs in the first game.
"It seems like everybody is seeing the ball well and really hitting right now," Hawkins said. "Our goal is line drives and hard ground balls and occasional mistake home runs."
USC Upstate now has 40 of those "mistake" homers, led by 10 from Robinson and seven from Barnes. The Spartans had 33 all of last season, 17 of those coming from Robinson.
Jamie Ujvari was the winning pitcher in both games to improve her record to 16-0 with a 1.38 ERA. She tossed three innings as the starter in the first game and two in relief during the second game, teaming with Anna Miller (three innings) and Hannah Alexander (two innings) on the two shutouts.
USC Upstate has a four-game lead on second-place Jacksonville in the Atlantic Sun standings. And now that the Spartans are in the top 25, there is also the challenge of staying there. Next Wednesday, they play at Georgia, which fell out of the rankings this week.
"I think it makes it more exciting," Harris said. "We feel like we really have something to prove now. We have to bring that attitude to the field. But as long as we keep winning and beating the people we need to beat, that's what really matters. As long as we stay where we are in the conference, it's fine with me."

Messages also going missing...?
The deja vu thread shows the latest post as the 20th (Mar 20, 2013 17:43), but I can't see a post in the thread later than the 19th.
Is that just my browser or config and is there a post from the 20th?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
John,yahoo is a bit like the thunderbirds quote,"of anything can happen in the next half hour".
Was trying to reply to your message on the 20.3.2013 about the Spurs v Fulham game.
Like yourself,i thought we played well against the pool but there was definately something missing agaist fulham.
I think NBR hit the nail on the head with reference to Lennon being missing and had no attack going down the sides.
I know Walker has had a couple of bad games this season,but he links up well with Lennon and without them two on the right we look flat.
Also he played Calker, who IMO lacks confidence which also seems to put Vert off his game a wee bit.This coupled along with not playing BAE seemed a poor choice of team to me and i'm left with the thought that he totally got his tactics wrong, in thinking thi was going to be a comfortable home win?
Well we all know what happened next and thats our 3rd defeat in a row and away at Swansea next is no easy task.
The sooner we get back to a full strength side the better,and maybe reverting to our more natural game with Bale and Lennon both starting out wide.
Well with fingers crossed and everything else lets get back to winning ways a keep a tight grip on that 4th spot.

It's a bit of a mess isn't it. A technology company that has problems with technology doesn't bode well (although I'm not sure still who runs these boards - I get the feeling its Eurosport).
A good result and more importantly, a good performance against Swansea should put us back on track.
It's all about contentment now though isn't it? At the start of the season, I would have taken 6th or even below and been quite 'content' - given the changes. Now, after so long in the top 4/3, I'd be loath to drop out of the 4 - I think more than anything it would be frustrating if we did end up with another post Christmas dip.
