SANTA CLARA -- Of all Anquan Boldin's reasons for re-signing Monday with the 49ers on a two-year deal, coach Jim Harbaugh's influence might be the most captivating, especially in this climate of perceived 49ers chaos.
Boldin dispelled any notion of locker-room discord with Harbaugh, who has taken the 49ers to the NFC Championship game in each of his three seasons as coach.
"I don't think there's any rift between players and coaches, particularly Coach Harbaugh," Boldin said Monday on a conference call. "He has good rapport with all the guys I know of. There's no gripes in the locker room when it comes to Coach Harbaugh."
Instead, Boldin credited Harbaugh with a "big role" in keeping the 11th-year wideout from reaching free agency March 11.
Boldin, 33, also cited the 49ers' Super Bowl chances and his family's attraction to the Bay Area. Plus, he'll get paid $6 million annually, the same as last season upon his trade from the Baltimore Ravens.
But when it came to Harbaugh, Boldin took the media's proverbial ball and ran with it, noting he "laughed" at a report (Sunday in the San Francisco Chronicle) stating Harbaugh's "act has worn thin in the locker room."
"He wants to win, and everybody in the locker room wants to do the same," Boldin said. "We're usually on the same page, and if not, we have it where we can talk to him, and he can talk to us."
Such cases indeed arose last season, and Boldin said Harbaugh has "taken into consideration how we felt."
Harbaugh, in an interview with Sports Illustrated, disputed that he's seeking to become the league's highest-paid coach and obtain more personnel power entering his fourth season with the 49ers.
"I have never said to anybody that I want to be the highest-paid coach in football," said Harbaugh, who has two years remaining on a five-year, $25 million contract. " ... I coach the team. I told my owner I don't want any more power."
Harbaugh also attempted to quell reports of discontent between him and general manager Trent Baalke. CBSSports.com reported Feb. 23 that Harbaugh and Baalke barely speak and communicate mainly through email, to which Harbaugh said, "We talk daily, hourly."
Boldin spoke up as a Harbaugh ally Monday, adding: "I just like his demeanor, the way he approaches the game. He just wants to win. I'm the exact same way. We mesh pretty good. He was good to me the entire year. The entire organization was."
Boldin is guaranteed $8.5 million in his new deal. The 49ers acquired him last March from the Ravens for a 2013 sixth-round draft pick.
"He is a consummate professional whose love and respect for the game provide a tremendous example for all players," Baalke said in a statement.
Two months after the 49ers acquired Boldin, Michael Crabtree tore his right Achilles in practice, and that thrust Boldin into the No. 1 receiver role. From there, he produced a team-high 85 catches for 1,179 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season. Of Boldin's 16 playoff receptions, eight (for 136 yards) came in a divisional win at Carolina.
Coaches voted Boldin as the team's MVP (Bill Walsh Award) last season, and he never appeared on an injury report throughout their march to the NFC Championship game.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick targeted Boldin on 150 passes last season, according to ProFootballFocus.com. The only one that got intercepted was during a fourth-quarter free fall in the 23-17 loss to Seattle in the NFC final.
Boldin's new deal includes a $4.5 million signing bonus and $955,000 salary for this season, plus $500,000 in potential game-day roster bonuses, according to ProFootballTalk.com.
By not using the franchise or transition tag before Monday's deadline, the 49ers have several other key players headed for free agency: safety Donte Whitner, kicker Phil Dawson, cornerbacks Tarell Brown and Eric Wright, center Jonathan Goodwin, running back Anthony Dixon and wideout Mario Manningham.
Kaepernick is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and the team is believed to be negotiating with his representatives on a massive deal. The Boston Globe reported Sunday that Kaepernick is seeking $18 million per year.
Boldin expects Kaepernick and the passing offense to improve with time. Said Boldin: "I've only been able to play with Kap a full season now. I played with Crabtree a lot less than that. Once we have chance to really work with each other, we'll be fine. At end of year, we started doing good, especially when Crab got in the offense. We were a formidable offense."
Catching on in a hurry
With Michael Crabtree missing the first 11 games, Anquan Boldin quickly became Colin Kaepernick's No. 1 target. Here is how Boldin's numbers match up with the other 49ers wide receivers from the 2013 season:
Player Rec Yds Avg. TD

Michael Crabtree 19 284 14.9 1

VICTORIA (October 27, 2012)--U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi, upset a near 30-year Democratic incumbent during the tea party surge of 2010, but the attorney and radio show host looked to be a goner this election cycle, until some creative redistricting handed him a new, safely Republican district.
Farenthold's only real problem now is whether he's conservative enough for his new territory.
He voted in favor of raising the federal debt ceiling and supports a national guest worker program, but some conservative voters have accused him of compromising too much.
Rose Meza Harrison, Farenthold's Democratic challenger, insists he's more vulnerable than the electoral maps suggest.
She also scoffs at the notion he's considered by some a moderate, saying Farenthold adheres to the Republican Party line on nearly all key issues.

Larry Chin remembers the first time he looked through a window into the world of Ashkenaz, the venerable Berkeley dance hall.
"What I saw was adults and kids holding hands -- folk dancing," he says. "I was like, 'Whoa.' It was such a family affair. I loved it."
That was in 1985, 12 years after David Nadel had opened the Ashkenaz Music and Dance Community Center on San Pablo Avenue, realizing his dream of creating a place where people of all ages and backgrounds could gather in a multicultural home for the arts. The dream cost Nadel his life in 1996, when he was shot and killed shortly after closing the club one night, reportedly by an inebriated patron who was upset at being kicked out.
But 40 years after its inception, his vision lives on as Ashkenaz, now run by Chin and a nonprofit board of directors. It is not a milestone that will pass quietly. Starting Thursday, the club will celebrate its 40th anniversary with 12 special concerts slated to run through March 17. Performers include former Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart and his band, the Black Mountain Boys, West African Highlife Band, BeauSoleil, Everton Blender and Lavay Smith.
What better way to celebrate an institution that's been described as "Berkeley to its core"?
It's the kind of wide-ranging musical lineup on which Ashkenaz has built its reputation. It is likely one of the few clubs in the country that offers blues, Argentine tango, Balkan folk, reggae, hip-hop, Cajun/zydeco, swing, West African pop, Celtic, klezmer and bluegrass/folk on a regular basis.
The one common thread: It's all dance music.
"That's our niche," says Kristen Sbrogna, the venue's program director.
World music might be as mainstream as Justin Bieber nowadays, but Ashkenaz was offering it more than a decade before artists like Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and Youssou N'Dour helped the genre truly go global in the 1980s.
"This is not a place that follows trends," says Tim Doyle, who has been involved with Ashkenaz in various capacities for decades. "This is a place that has created them. Think about anything that is going on in music, and it probably happened here first."
Yet Sbrogna doesn't book acts with an eye for what sounds might be popular down the road.
"It's more about having an understanding of the community here and what it will respond to," she says of the venue's programming. "Diversity is still essential to what we are."
Then there is the Grateful Dead connection. For years, Ashkenaz has been a home away from home for Deadheads, who turn out to wiggle and twirl during the venue's regular Grateful Dead Nights. So it's no surprise that Ashkenaz's 40th celebration kicks off with a double shot of Dead-related projects -- Hart (Thursday) and the Black Mountain Boys (Friday).
The latter represents an unlikely blast of Bay Area music history, as Jerry Garcia was a member of the Black Mountain Boys bluegrass band before he joined the Grateful Dead. The show will feature two original members, guitarist David Nelson and mandolinist Eric Thompson, backed by other musicians. Nelson says it's been a treat to again work with Thompson on the old Black Mountain Boys material.
"It's like no time has passed, even though it's been 50 years," he says.
Nadel created Ashkenaz after taking over an idled warehouse space on San Pablo Avenue and converted it into a building modeled after an Eastern European wooden synagogue, in honor of his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestors.
"His original idea was that you could bring people together and solve so many of the world's problems just by dancing and listening to music, in a social and political way," says Gary Skupa, a member of the venue's board of directors.
"It was really to be a place where people left their differences at the door," Sbrogna says.
The dream was in jeopardy after Nadel's shocking murder (the killer was never brought to justice). But supporters and friends rallied to keep the venue going, transforming the club into a nonprofit organization overseen by a board of directors.
"He lived and died for this place," says Sweet Foot of the Caribbean Allstars, one of the popular reggae acts that regularly performs at Ashkenaz.
"(Nadel) had built something that we couldn't let die," Skupa says. "It had become our home away from home."
Nadel's ghost still haunts the place -- in a positive way. His name is often mentioned by those who work at the venue, as well as by numerous longtime patrons.
"You hear it now -- people say, 'I knew David. He was my great friend,'" Sbrogna says.

With the holidays just around the corner, many people will consider adding a new pet
to their home. According to recent statistics, more and more Americans are
adopting not only their first companion animal, but their second and even third.
The pervasiveness of multiple pet households indicates just how important pets
have become in our lives, and that we want our existing pets to have companions
of their own.
Having multiple pets increases everything: the joy, the cost, the hair, and the
cuddles. As a veterinarian, I am often asked for advice on how best to integrate
a new pet into a home that already has resident animals. In this post, I'll be
focusing on dog-only and cat-only households.
In a Dog-Meet-Dog World
When seeking to add an additional dog to your family, be sure to choose a breed,
gender and personality that compliment your current canine. For example, it's
unwise to match a tea cup poodle puppy with a large or giant breed dog,
especially an active one. Even if no harm is intended, the puppy could easily be
injured. Similarly, be conscientious if you already have an older dog with
arthritis, as a puppy could prove overwhelming. In general, opposite genders get
along better, as do spayed and neutered pets (procedures I heartily endorse). In
general, we would recommend the adoption of a dog younger than the resident dog;
if the ages are reversed, tension could result, leading to recurring fights over
who claims dominance. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, personality is an
important factor. You know your resident dog's disposition and it's essential to
take that into consideration when bringing a new dog into your home. More...
While underappreciated or even unrecognized as an organ, skin has amazing
properties. For starters, it's the largest organ of the body. Both tough and
pliable, skin has many functions, including regulating body temperature, helping
to prevent dehydration and protecting against injury and disease. Without skin,
our pets couldn't have hair, and everything that was on the inside would be
exposed, making snuggle sessions a little on the icky side!
Canine and feline skin shares many similarities with human skin, but there
are significant differences. They do have three layers of their skin, with the
same nerves and blood vessels running throughout. Even though the pigmented skin
in dogs contains melanin, dogs do not have the ability to tan like humans do.
Also, they have apocrine glands (similar to human sweat glands), however, dogs
do not sweat like we do. Instead, dogs have eccrine glands in their paws, which
secrete a watery substance like sweat, although this typically only occurs when
they are nervous and under stress. Now you know how it is that they can
sometimes leave little damp paw prints when exiting the veterinary office!
As the body's first line of defense to environmental factors, the skin is
subjected to all sorts of insults and injuries. Critters of all stripes, from
fleas to ticks to parasites (like mange mites) bite and damage the skin.
Additionally, skin is under repeated assault by foreign objects, nibbling teeth,
scratching claws and constant licking, all of which can weaken and impair the
skin's protective barrier. Skin can also be affected from the inside out by
infections, hormonal imbalances, allergies and immune disorders.
Young pets are particularly suspectible to skin problems because their skin
is more sensitive and their immune systems are not fully developed. Kittens, for
example, are prone to ringworm (fungal) infections and puppies are predisposed
to demodectic mange. If your puppy or kitten develops a rash, loses hair, or has
bumps or warts, consult with your veterinarian to determine if treatment is
The bottom line is, healthy skin is a vital part of pet health, and its
condition is a reflection of a pet's overall well-being. Vulnerable to attacks
on all sides, it's very important that pet parents regularly monitor their pet's
skin health. Skin normally does its job well as the body's protector, but
sometimes even skin needs an extra boost. In this episode of Pet Talk, Dr. Sarah
reviews some common causes of skin and coat problems in dogs and cats, and
reveals some safe and natural home remedies that promote overall skin health.
one of Florida's newest animal rescue organizations took in sixteen abused dogs
from out-of-state, they found themselves in dire and immediate need of supplies.
Fortunately, the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation was ready and willing to
lend a helping hand.
Subjected to physical and mental abuse in a North Carolina product-testing
laboratory, the dogs came to Palm Beach County after an undercover investigation
publicized their plight. The laboratory closed, turning over all of the nearly
200 animals used in experiments to various East Coast humane agencies, including
Wellington's In Dog We Trust (IDWT). Founded by Nicole Brown, IDWT is a
non-profit, no-kill animal shelter that opened just this summer on the 20-acre
property of what used to be the Folke Peterson Wildlife Center, a wildlife
sanctuary shuttered in 2009.
Once known only by the codes tattooed on their bodies, sixteen Beagles now
call IDWT their temporary home and are now christened with proper names. It may
be weeks before the dogs are made available for adoption, as they begin to
recover from their traumas, learn basic skills and become accustomed to human
companionship. Their caretakers estimate that most of the Beagles are only two
years old. More...
The cat's bowl is full of nutritious Instinctive Choice. Your canine
companion has had his daily Wellness Food Supplement. You know that you are
forgetting something, but you just can't seem to place it. Maybe it's not
something you're forgetting but rather someone! As important of a role your pets
play in your life, you are the main character in their lives! Without you who
would they turn to?
By changing a few simple things in your daily routine, you could be around for
more belly scratches and rub downs!
Get Active – Don't just let Fido out by himself – join him.
A recent survey found that more than 65% of Americans are overweight or obese.
Since the health problems associated with excess weight include heart disease,
diabetes and stroke, it's important to make weight loss and fitness a priority
in your life. So lace up those sneakers and take your dog for a daily walk at
the local park or around your block! The fresh air will invigorate you and the
companionship of your dog will make this daily activity more enjoyable and seem
less like exercise. Not only will this help keep your weight under control, but
it will also help make for a healthier heart.
Eat Healthy – You feed your pets the best, most nutritious
foods, and you should be doing the same. Hate the word "diet"? Try the 80-20
factor. Eat healthy 80% of the time and indulge for the other 20%. This is a
very simple way to improve your diet. The American Heart Association recommends
eating foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. An easy way to ensure that
you are getting health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids on a daily basis is to try
Sealogix Omega-3 Fish Oil. Thanks in large part to its superior quality, purity
and concentration of nutrients, Sealogix represents an exceptional value
compared to other market brands.
Stop Smoking – Many of us grew up when smoking was cool.
Well, it's not cool anymore. The American Heart Association could not have put
it any clearer. Smoking is the most preventable cause of premature death! Your
bad habit does not only affect you - it affects everyone in your home – pets
included! There are so many cessation programs available these days that
quitting may be easier than you think. Procrastination is one of the biggest
hurdles, so make the decision to stop smoking today and consult your health care
provider for the program that's right for you.
Let your pets continue to enjoy the life that you have worked so hard to give
them. You need to stay healthy, too!

O.k. I was talked into this one. It doesn't usually take much to get me to go to a Phish show under a hundred miles away, but I knew that this one was sold out. But Kelly kept pleading, and my resistance wasn't that strong anyway, so up to Saratoga we went. Now the thing about Kelly is that she is very pretty and enjoys to flirt. So when we got there and the bouncer told us the show was sold out, she took a deep breath batted her eyelashes and said, "But we came all the way from Baaaaah-rd." It worked; he told us to pay the cover price and in we went.
We arrived at around 10:02. Much to our surprise, Phish were already on stage playing the opening song (Dinner and a Movie). I immediately understood why they didn't want to let us in. The place was packed. Wall to wall people. This was true not just by the stage, but all throughout the club. Completely insane.
The first set was quite good. The highlight was probabally Page playing the Andy Griffith Theme during the Antelope intro. During the break, the club let everyone outside, and- since it was really cold- I went to talk with Claw Me Down. I was wearing a shirt that I had made with various possibilities for the line in YEM. He promptly grabbed a sticker, wrote the correct line on it, and handed it to me. Ah for the good old days, when I never had to pay for Phish merchandise.
During the second set, The First Phish Equation kicked in: Cold weather = hot show. For this set, I moved to the back of the arena. Claw Me Down had set up some cups and pennies and made a little drum set. We were playing along with Phish on that for a while, and then I whipped out my ocarina and we were styling. During the amazing Lizards they played that night, Claw Me Down sang the mystery lyrics to the song. Apparently, during the jam in the end (the part on the album where Trey talks about Rutherford being saved) there is a set of lyrics about a dog. He sings about all of the things he would do if he were another animal, but then concludes that he's glad he's a dog. I only heard them that one time, so I don't remember the words very well.
Towards the end of the second set, there were some electrical problems. Claw Me Down went up to fix it, and told me to staff the booth. Fortunately, the band was playing Curtis Lowe and no one wanted to buy anything. So I just sat behind the desk and pretended I knew what I was doing. Finally he fixed the problem and came back.
The encore was quite nice: Good Times Bad Times and Contact. After the show, I went up to talk to Fish. I had just met him the week before at the Wetlands. I got to hear the stories behind the lyrics to My Sweet One and You Enjoy Myself. Finally I found Kelly and we headed out. It was 2 in the morning and I still had a long drive back to Bard, but I didn't care in the slightest.

With current City Treasurer Valerie Holley's decision to retire, Marietta voters will have the choice of two longtime residents to fill that role.
Former Marietta City Councilwoman Cathy Harper, a Republican, goes up against Democrat Willa O'Neill on Election Day - Nov. 5.
Harper served on council from 1996 through 2003 and was chairwoman of the planning, zoning and annexation committee and served on lands and parks and finance committees.
Article Photos
"I worked closely with all city departments, including the treasurer's office," Harper said. "I understand the duties of the office, the importance of investment accounts, city finances, balancing the budget, tax collection and working with the auditor's office and the community."
Harper said she decided to run for treasurer because she misses city government.
As the coordinator of The Right Path for Washington County for 10 years, she has written several grants for the program and has worked to provide activities all on a shoestring budget, thanks to community support, fundraisers, United Way and foundation grants.
Fact Box
Cathy Harper
Age: 56.
Address: 715 Second St.
Family: Married 32 years to Michael; four sons (one deceased); one daughter; four grandsons.
Education: Marietta High School Class of 1975; pursuing an Ohio Certified Prevention Specialist I certification.
Political Experience: City Council 1996 to 2003; chairwoman of Planning, Zoning and Annexation Committee.
Willa O'Neill
Age: 64.
Address: 104 Flintwood Drive.
Family: Two daughters, two grandchildren.
Education: Bachelor of science from Ohio University in education; graduate of Portsmouth High School.
Work experience: Taught for six years in public schools. Worked 25 years at the Ohio Department of Transportation. Retired in October 2011.
Political experience: None.
The staff at The Right Path uses several strategies to engage youth and provide social and community service opportunities to help them feel connected to their community.
"I will bring my commitment and enthusiasm to the office of treasurer," Harper said. "The treasurer's office follows the mandates of the Ohio Revised Code and the codified ordinances the City Council passes. The office has a dedicated staff and is a well-oiled machine thanks to our current treasurer, Val Holley. With my background as community organizer, I hope to share with our community the duties carried out by our city treasurer's office."
O'Neill spent the past decade working for the Ohio Department of Transportation as a statewide quality coordinator. She traveled across the state helping ODOT employees look at work processes to make them more efficient and get better results. Her goal was to make the department more professional to make the best use of tax dollars.
"I have spent time with Val and her staff (to learn) what goes on in her office," O'Neill said. "I have traveled to other places to look for best practices we could use here."
O'Neill said she would take advantage of the current computer technologies to bring the office more up to date. She likes the electronic deposits and city income tax filing done electronically in Athens. Cleveland's city income tax department uses a program to match Internal Revenue Service forms with local city income tax forms to ensure those who are supposed to be paying are paying.
"Revenue coming back to local governments is in a critical position because cities are getting less of a return on our tax dollars than we have in the past. It is important we ... get the revenue that is owed to us and that it is wisely used," she said.
"I've learned through my experience through state government how absolutely necessary it is for public officials to be good stewards of tax dollars," O'Neill said. "The citizens demand that, and they have the right to expect that."
In Athens, the program brought in $300,000 in delinquent taxes. In Chillicothe, it found for that city $125,000.
"The city income tax they have collected and the bed tax were at record highs in 2012, but they have lost so much money from the state that it nowhere near makes up for that loss," O'Neill said.

Twenty-four hours after a deadly shooting in Augusta, police are still looking for the person who pulled the trigger. It all started at the Augusta Inn and Conference Center on Stevens Creek Road near I-20. News 12 has more in the investigation.
It all happened so quickly.
"They were running away, just piling in there," one witness said.
200 teenagers were attending a private party at the Augusta Inn and Conference Center when police say someone shot and killed 18-year-old Rodnick Patterson.
"We haven't been able to ascertain what the argument was over. We know it was two groups of individuals who arrived at the party separately. We know there was an argument between the groups," said Richard Roundtree, Richmond Co. Sheriff's Office.
The scene quickly turned into chaos. Three arrests made for ensuing fights unrelated to the murder.
"Me, where I'm from I'm used to hearing gun shots so I ran just like I did back then," said Tony Garza, witness.
"Because of the chaos that ensued after a lot of the potential witnesses fled the scene," Roundtree said.
"I think it's just getting a little out of hand now," said Gary Willingham, parent of partygoer.
Gary Willingham got here around midnight to pick up his son from the party. The party was billed as the Teen Hotel Party II, with a subtitle "Unfinished Business." This flyer states "This time we ain't shutting down nothing early." And is used a slang work, crunk, three times.
"It seems to always turn out someway different from what you think but not this horrendous. The kids just always go find parties when they find out from other kids where the parties are, they wanna go," Willingham said.
Sgt. Roundtree says at least one off-duty deputy provided security at the party, but wasn't able to catch the gunman. Managers at the Augusta Inn and Conference Center now say the private teen parties are done for good.
The event's organizers did not return our calls seeking comment. And police still want to interview several kids who left the scene before investigators got there. They're asking witnesses to call 821-1080 and ask to speak to a violent crimes investigator.

Roger will open the defence of his US Open crown by taking on Wang Yeu-Tzuoo of Taiwan. He will be bidding to become only the third player in the professional era to win three straight titles at Flushing Meadows. The others were John McEnroe (1979-81) and Ivan Lendl (1985-87).
Roger has never before played the 21-year-old Wang, who is ranked 109th in the world, and he looks set for a comfortable run into the second round. He would then face the winner of the British duel between Tim Henman (ATP 62) and Greg Rusedski (ATP 138). A possible opponent for the round of the last 16 is former world number one, Juan Carlos Ferrero (who had defeated Rafael Nadal in Cincinnati), and James Blake (ATP 5) in the quarter finals.
The US Open will take place in New York from August 28 until September 10.
Roger,even thought I know you have the great chance to beat Wang Yeu-Tzuoo, I still have to cheer for Wang Yeu-Tzuoo this time.Because I am a Taiwanese, I have to cheer for my own country's player......Good Luck,Wang!!

- I'v seen worse.I bought this gun almost two years ago, and I have used it in ONE real game. With a modest FPS, and a capacity of only 6 rounds this really is not the best sidearm. And using this PLASTIC model, people will not think you are an airsoft God (Sorry Shorty). This gun is not a sidearm. This gun is for 1v1 or 2v2 back yard games or just plinking. That being said, for the price tag it�s an okay gun.
Low price
Looks cool
Fun to use
Low effective range (It's not 100ft, closer to 50 or 60 ft)
Not the best FPS
Not a combat sidearm
The cylinder and guide rod will get stuck on the chamber and barrel
Over all it's an okay gun, but that's all I can really say about it. It only gets 3 stars because it's fun to use in the backyard. If you want an okay revolver, go ahead and buy this. If you want a GREAT revolver, save up and buy the WG revolver that Shorty has.

For a while now I've been trying to figure out why some of my anime MKVs with embedded ASS subtitles were not displaying the subtitles on my TV, while other files seemed to work fine, using MEncoder (updated from the sticky) on PMS 1.60.0 . After some trial and error, I found that on the problematic files the subtitle track had no language defined (not "undefined", mind you...completely nonexistant). I used mkvpropedit to set the subtitle track language to English and voila, subtitles appear perfectly.
My question is, rather than go through every one of my files and set the language to English, is there a way that I can tell PMS to display subtitles even if no language is specified in the MKV? I realize I could write a script that sets the subtitle language with all my existing files easily, but then new files I download would have to be modified one by one as I receive them. It seems like modifying PMS in some way would be the easiest solution.
Any suggestions?
(I didn't use the "Problem Reporting Guidelines" as this isn't a specific problem as much as a call for advice to make things easier because I'm lazy -- everything "works" fine with PMS.)

Waynesboro, GA -- Burke County is feeling lucky to have its athletic quarterback on the field this week. Donquell Green has completed the transformation from complement to star this season, but there's a bigger goal still ahead.
The quest for back-to-back state titles continues this Friday with a quarterfinal match up at top-ranked Sandy Creek.
The Bears and Patriots have combined for three championships in as many years, so plenty of eyes will be on this one. A lot of those fans wish this game could have waited until a potential state title tilt, but the guys on the field aren't too worried about that.
"I think the bottom line is, if you're going to win a state championship you're going to eventually have to beat a team like a Sandy Creek," said Bears Head Coach Eric Parker. "So, whether it's third round, fourth round, championship round, I don't know that it really matters."
Green added, "It would've been nice for them to be on the other side of the bracket, but we met them. It's here now, so it really doesn't matter. We might as well just get ready for them now."
The Bears tend to take care of everything they have control over. A coin flip isn't one of those things.
Since both teams are a number one seed, that's what decided who would host, and the toss went against BC.
Of course, after last year's 35-point, semifinal win at Gainesville, the Bears don't mind hitting the pavement.
Parker said, "Last year, going to Gainesville was something we probably needed to do. We had not won a significant playoff game on the road, and now you realize going into the playoffs that chances are you'll have to flip a coin at least twice. You're probably going to lose at least one of them so if you're going to win it, you gotta go on the road somewhere and win."

Rapper DMX arrested in the Upstate
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.
GREER, S.C. (AP) — The rapper known as DMX has been arrested in South Carolina for driving without a license.
Authorities say the 42-year-old, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested at 1 a.m. Wednesday after an officer saw him at a Greer gas station. Simmons already faced several charges of driving without a license, so deputies say an officer pulled him over after watching Simmons leave a gas station, get into a car and drive away.
Simmons was released after paying a fine. It wasn't clear if he had an attorney.
Simmons was arrested in a Phoenix suburb in 2011 after a trooper clocked him driving at 102 mph. He had recently finished a stint in prison on probation revocation for failing to submit to drug testing and driving without a license.

We appear to have an epidemic of men watching computer porno sites, even during working hours. To illustrate that, I use the Washington Post article: SEC porn investigation nets dozens. As reported on April 23, 2010 by Ed O'Keefe, the SEC probed 33 people for watching porn at work and several senior positions were involved.
One senior official working at headquarters admitted watching porn for as much as 8 hours a day on an office computer. I ask you, when did he work? In a regional office a staff member admitted to viewing porno on an office computer and on an SEC issued laptop while on official business. The list goes on. We are in serious trouble financially in this country, yet this disgraceful behavior continues, unchecked, for long periods of time. Haven't these employees heard about our recession? The real insult is that the average salaries of these people averages in the $150,000 range.
Similar allegations appeared at the National Science Foundation, the National Park Service and even a judge of a US Circuit Court of Appeals. And then this woman working at Citibank, as she reported, is reprimanded for wearing tight-fitting clothing and told that her outfits were too distracting at the workplace? Is this the Jezebel Syndrome or the Adam and Eve debacle? Why are we blaming women for out-of-control men? Come on guys! So many of you watch hours of porn and then accuse a woman for being distracting in the workplace? Is she supposed to wear a nun's habit or burka? Get the message?
This excessive viewing of porn begs the question: How do men view women? Do they just think they are sex objects? Is it more enticing to view porn alone and indulge in the usual masturbation that accompanies it than to be with a woman, or are they just addicts? I have to believe that pornography plays into how men are socialized – to be unemotional because it is too sissy to reveal a more vulnerable side to the world. I suspect men believe that distracts from society's concept of masculinity and dovetails into his fear of not being in control. It stands to reason that a woman who is looking for sexual as well as emotional satisfaction presents a threat to those men who are trying so hard not to appear feminine. For these, I believe, insecure men it is much easier to have phantom sex with a monitor than with a woman.
I saw a play recently by a very well-known author. There were several men and two women actors. The female protagonist of the play was portrayed as a screaming diva with almost no redeeming qualities. The other woman was slutty.
I imagine if the man put his mother in the play she'd be the Madonna. What was startling about the drama was that the demanding bitch designated as the main character and (according to the title of the play) was supposed to be about her life, took a background position. It became a story about the men and their dilemmas as minorities, their sad backgrounds and their bravery in surviving the daily grind of life.
I find this play and its view of women telling. I do believe there exists underneath the layers of denial in many men a strong disdain for women. Often women in literature are portrayed by male writers in a similar manner. Either she is a bitch, a slut or servile no matter how intelligent or accomplished she is. Are these myths perpetuated by those men who feel that emotionally "surrendering" to a woman traps him and damages his pride (at least in his mind)?
I think that is why, in my experience, men turn a deaf ear to what a woman says she wants or needs as it pertains to sex cuddling or affection. No matter how many times a male may ask a woman what she likes sexually and otherwise, once she tells him, it is thereafter avoided. This type of male either tries to speed up the sexual process in order to disengage quicker and/or protects his manliness by never taking what he thinks are orders from a woman even though he asked.
To paraphrase Ethel Spector Person, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University from her book, Dreams of Love and Fateful Encounters, there is a dread of loss of self that presents a big fear. Sometimes after sex or other intimate moments he might start a fight in order to distance himself emotionally.
The plethora of porn that is available 24/7 has created difficulties in many relationships. Men who become addicted to pornography take many hours away from the family, wife or a partner. It is like the old boy's club where men can't understand why a woman would object to their numerous hours of watching porn. After all, didn't parents look upon boys' reading girly and pornographic magazines as a rite of passage? Why then as an adult is he asked to stop the habit? It's all part of being a man. Isn't it?
The kind of porno available now is hurting young boys in their attitudes toward women, and they take that with them into adulthood. In porno we know women are objectified and that's how young minds become wired. Even women are affected as they try to make their bodies more like the porn stars by having breast implants and in being submissive.
In an article (Health) that came out January 19, 2004 in Time Magazine, entitled, The Porn Factor, written by Pamela Paul. "In the Internet age, pornography is almost everywhere you look. But what is it doing to real-life relationships?" Paul continues, "Sometimes pornography tears couples apart. At the 2003 meeting of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, two-thirds of the 350 divorce lawyers who attended said the Internet played a significant role in divorces in the past year, with excessive interest in online porn contributing to more than half of such cases."
Paul quoted Mark Schwartz, director of the Masters and Johnson clinic in St. Louis, Mo. Essentially, he said there are several reasons why porn is bad. It objectifies women as nothing more than breasts, legs and buttocks and creates a need for visual stimulation for arousal. "The image of a lonely, isolated man masturbating to his computer is the Willy Loman metaphor of our decade."
Yet, Paul writes, "Still, couples therapists sometimes suggest pornography as a way to refresh relationships or spark desire. Increasingly, women are game. Sociologist Michael Kimmel has found that each year more of his female college students approve of porn, which may reflect women's increased sexual empowerment."
But to paraphrase some of those findings, it is suggested that erotic material, rather than straight out porn may be used. While porn objectifies and debases women, egalitarian erotica can be shared and enjoyed by both.
Come on guys, put in some work, change your mindset so that you and your partner can be on the same page – face to face, skin to skin. Go for the real deal but really hear what she has to say. It's not much fun spending hours upon hours alone and isolated. In my opinion, prostitution may be looking pretty warm and cozy when compared to the phantom sex of porn.

1. McCarthy's - Fethard, Co Tipperary
With a catchphrase like "We wine you, dine you, and bury you," one might be given to assume there's a cheekiness about this pub located in the smoky plain in mountainous Fethard. Yet there's no cheek here - in addition to a critically-acclaimed bar and restaurant, McCarthy's also features an Undertaking service, which they maintain is a "family business, so the personal touch has not been lost."
2. EJ Morrissey's, Abbeyleix, Co Laois
It's said that in better days, there was a de facto credo that said, "Thou shall not drive through Abbeyleix without pausing in Morrissey's for a pint." While there is no official record of this mantra, it is a good fit for the classic pub that features loads of old-world products one might've found in a grocery 50-odd years back. If Moses had carved this commandment into his tablets, maybe they'd have had a better time with the desert.
If you fancy yourself a musician or even just an aficionado, Ger and Breda Clancy have just the spot for you. Clancy's Pub is largely considered one of the best live music pubs of eastern Ireland. Every Thursday night, a crowd of musicians gathers at the pub to perform their artistry for the assembled patrons who sit comfortably on scruffy benches and assorted chairs. Considering the popularity of some particular pub songs, it is not unbelievable to imagine the entire pub singing along to chorus after chorus.
4. Tigh Neachtain's, Galway City, co Galway
A real family pub, owner Jimmy Maguire was born there and had his childhood bedroom upstairs. A fan of its classic appeal, Maguire says that "Very little has changed - I love old things and the way it was when I got it suited me fine." A popular literary bar, Tigh Neachtain's is a hit with students and old folk alike in the area - not unbelievable considering its prime location on one of the busiest streets in a city that is buzzing all year with tourism, students, and locals.
5. Thomas Connolly's, Sligo, Co Sligo
The tongue-and-groove walls of the pub feature rows of isolated, walled-off partitions that allow patrons to find some privacy in the gently popular bar in Sligo. The 19th-century facade might mislead an onlooker to think that the pub is a cozy, pint-sipping kind of place, but the buzz around the pub is a constant one, generating a crowd of local regulars at any time of day. The wide windows allow for plenty of natural light to delicately accent the dull, creamy brown of the interior.
6. De Barra's, Clonakilty, Co Cork
Touted as Ireland's number 1 folk music bar, De Barras has entertained a few prestigious clientele in its history as a staple in Clonakilty. Noel Redding of the Jimi Hendrix Experience was a featured regular gig at De Barra's for the last 27 years of his life, and Gavin Moore, nephew to Christy Moore, maintains a regular gig there as well. Christy offers that, "There's Carnegie Hall, the Royal Albert, Sydney Opera House, and then there's De Barra's."
7. H McGinn, Newbliss, Co Monaghan
H McGinn pub in Newbliss was purchased by Hugh McGinn in 1912 and now-owner Annie McGinn has left the aesthetic of the place unchanged since the time of her parents. The pub draws in a motley crew of local characters, many of whom come from Annaghmakerrig, a nearby retreat established by theater director Tyrone Guthrie in his will. The retreat is aimed at artists and others of the like to be able to pursue their creative endeavors. A cast of peculiar characters often flock to the retreat, meaning that many of them wind up in the pub for a pint and good conversation. If you find yourself looking for inspiration, this pub might be the place for you.

I wanted to get some viewpoints from the expert Blues on a situation from opening day.
I was conscripted into keeping the official book for my son's Junior Leauge game due to a scheduling oversight. Top of the third, bases loaded, one out. BR hits a loopey liner to short. SS doesn't quite reach the ball cleanly, but does manage to knock it down. Tags R2, then steps on second for the third out well after R3 crosses the plate.
UIC points to home and says run counts loud enough for all to hear. I call him over and say that the run should not count b/c the third out was a force out at second. He agrees after we quickly recap the course of events.
Top of the sixth comes around and one of the visitor coaches approaches me and asks what the score was. When I tell him 0 visitors, 3 home, he says that they should have one run. I point out to him that the run from the third did not count b/c the third out was made on a force play. (He argued that b/c a tag was made, it wasnt a force but either didn't really believe that or was not up for a longer debate since he abandonded after stating his arguement)
So, my two questions:
1.) Was I out of line to correct UIC even though the correct call was ultimately made? (home team HC was also on top of it and I am sure that he would have made sure the outcome was the same).
2.) Who is responsible for communicating the change to both sides since clearly the visitors were still under the impression that the original call was in effect?
Let's look at the definitions. A FORCE PLAY is an out registered on a runner who is forced to vacate his base because the batter becomes a batter-runner. OK, what does that mean? The batter hits a ball that touches the ground somehow. Then runners immediately ahead must vacate their bases and attempt to advance.
If, as you say, R2 was tagged out, that is a force play because he was retired on a play where he was forced to vacate. It is not the case that a bag need be touched! He can be retired in a whole lot of ways; all that matters is that he was forced to leave 2B.
Therefore, by similar logic, R1 was forced to leave 1B, and he was retired (conventionally) at 2B for the third out. Since the third out was registered on a force play, NO RUNS CAN SCORE.
More on the rules: It is a myth that a caught fly ball and then a throw to retire a runner who left too early is a force. It is NOT! It is a live ball appeal, and runs that pass home plate are scored on timing play rules.
It is also the case that if a FORCED runner misses the base to which he is forced, and then his running error is properly appealed for the 3rd out, then it also is STILL a force play for the third out, and NO RUNS SCORE.
So, you need to remember what is a force, and what is a time play. In your case, both outs were correctly scored as force outs,so NO RUNS SCORE.
Now, were you out of line by contacting the UIC? I always brief the official scorekeeper that they work for me; they are part of the officiating team. I would not worry about that at all. Especially if the HC were on top of it, he could easily protest and win that one.
I think the UIC should bite the bullet and inform both dugouts of the correct ruling on the play. He at first made a mistake; it's up to him to correct it.
Mike CVUA
Here is a reference to keep handy.
7.08 Any runner is out when—
(e) He or the next base is tagged before he touches the next base, after he has been
forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner.
You were absolutely entitled to ask the plate umpire about this. You are a member of the officiating crew and are responsible for recording what happened. If you have a question about a ruling, you need to ask about it in order to properly keep score.
The bottom line here is that YOU, as the official scorekeeper, own the score. The umpire owns the judgment about whether the runner crossed the plate before the 3rd out. Since there was a force out, as others have pointed out, the run shouldn't have scored but the umpire ruled as if it wasn't a force and treated it as a timing play. You were absolutely correct to clarify the ruling. Note that if the umpire had still said to score the run, you would have scored the run, although I might have made a notation in the scorebook about what had happened.

The dadaist and absurd cartoonist Kamagurka is an icon in Flemish humor, and a contributor to a great many magazines. Accompanied by a satirical view of society, he gets his inspiration from underground comix (Robert Crumb), Mad's Don Martin, the Belgian artist Pirana and French satirical magazines like Hara-Kiri and Charlie Hebdo. Born in Nieuwpoort, Zeebroek studied art in Brugge and Ghent and published his first drawings in De Zeewacht in 1972. In the following year, he launched the fanzine Appendiks. In 1974, he published a short story in Robbedoes and contributed to Exit.
Shortly afterwards, his work appeared in a variety of Belgian magazines, including Humo, Knack, Kick and Vrede. His work also found its way to the francophone audience through magazines like Surprise, Hara-Kiri, Charlie Mensuel and Charlie Hebdo. Eventually, the work of Kamagurka has been distributed throughout most European countries. In the Dutch language, Kamagurka's work has been present in most (alternative and underground) publications, including De Vlaamse More, Gummi, Tante Leny Presenteert, De Vrije Balloen, Vooruit, De Haagse Post and Lava.
With his partner-in-crime Herr Seele, Kamagurka created the silly Lava TV television performances from 1989, as well as the western-inspired humorous series 'Cowboy Henk', for which Kamagurka writes the scripts, in 1980. 'Cowboy Henk' is a non-horse riding, non-smoking optimist who constantly has to cope with his blinking eyelids. His character Bert and his little dog Bobje, created in 1977, also are a great success. With his absurd and sharp whit, Kamagurka has left his mark on Dutch language humor. Many of the younger comics talent - like Gummbah and Fritz van den Heuvel - have gone through a phase when they are accused of imitating this major master of madness.

- Purdy: San Jose Sharks pull off overtime win in 'Survivor' game
- Sharks notebook: General manager Doug Wilson's defense of Raffi Torres results in $100,000 fine from league
- Sharks fined $100,000 for GM Doug Wilson's comments about Torres suspension
- Sharks hope loud HP Pavilion crowd helps in vital Game 3
- Sharks' Marty Havlat expected to play in Game 3
SAN JOSE -- Logan Couture missed most of the second period, heading to the locker room after getting tangled up along the boards.
And after the game, the Sharks forward was hidden away in a backroom, undergoing treatments for whatever injury with which he still was dealing.
But in between, Couture scored an overtime power-play goal that put the Sharks right back into their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series with a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in Game 3.
"You are in the game, and you don't know if he's going to come back or not," said Patrick Marleau, who set up Couture for the winning goal at 1:29 of the extra period. "It's huge to see him be able to push through that kind of pain."
The Sharks now will have the chance to even the series at 2-2 at HP Pavilion on Tuesday before returning to Staples Center on Thursday.
"We felt we let one get away in L.A., so we had to come back and answer," said Sharks coach Todd McLellan, fully aware that only three NHL teams have come back from the 0-3 deficit the Sharks would have been facing.
First-period goals by Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle and Kings rookie forward Tyler Toffoli were all the scoring through regulation in a game that, in many ways, was the mirror image of the previous contest.
In that game -- lost by the Sharks when the Kings scored twice in the final two minutes -- it was Los Angeles forward Anze Kopitar who left with an injury and later returned to boost his team's spirit. In this game, it was Couture.
In that game, the Kings ended up with a late five-on-three advantage. In this game, it was the Sharks who held a two-man advantage for 1:19 going into overtime as Kings defenseman Robyn Regehr was off for hooking and center Trevor Lewis for goalie interference.
The Kings survived being two men down, but it was still five-on-four when Couture took a feed from Marleau and beat goaltender Jonathan Quick to send the sellout crowd of 17,562 home in a happy mood.
For a while, McLellan's biggest challenge was finding enough healthy players at forward and on defense.
Forward Marty Havlat let McLellan know after the morning skate that he felt well enough to play for the first time since leaving Game 1 of the Vancouver series with a lower-body injury.
But playing on the third line with Scott Gomez and Tommy Wingels, Havlat left in the first period with an unspecified injury.
Defenseman Scott Hannan was the next Shark to disappear into the locker room, leaving the game 16 seconds into the second period after sliding into the boards. And when Couture left a few minutes later -- Marleau said his linemate stepped on a puck -- the lines and defense pairings were makeshift at times.
"As soon as Marty's gone, you're down and you've got to start thinking about working wingers through," McLellan said. "Cooch is gone and it affects your matchups, it affects everything. It's a scramble. Players did a tremendous job. They were ready to go with anybody."
Hannan returned midway through the second period, and when Couture jumped over the boards to the roar of the crowd with 1:13 left, the Sharks were almost back to full strength.
The Sharks fed off the early energy at HP Pavilion, needing only four seconds of an early power play to take a 1-0 lead at 1:34 when Boyle blasted a shot from the blue line that sailed over Quick's shoulder.
But the mood in the building changed midway through the period after a giveaway by defenseman Brad Stuart ended up on Toffoli's stick and he beat Niemi with a 31-foot backhand shot at 10:08.
Neither team could score in the final 40 minutes, setting the stage for Couture's overtime heroics.
McLellan said he did not expect to have Havlat back Tuesday. What about Couture, who was not available to speak with reporters?
"Based on his smile in the locker room," the coach said, "I'm assuming he'll be fine."

About the Book
The adventures of Brooklyn boy Hank Wolowitz and his invisible—but not imaginary—friend continue with The Whoopie Pie War, the third book in the Invisible Inkling series by Emily Jenkins.
A truck selling ice-cream whoopie pies sets up right in front of the ice-cream shop belonging to Hank's family, and it's taking away all the shop's business. His dad is going crazy. His mom is furious.
Hank and Inkling, his invisible bandapat, aren't going to take it. The Whoopie Pie War is on! They'll do whatever it takes to beat the whoopie pie truck—unicorn costumes, extreme kindness, an army of supervillains.
The illustrated chapter book's mix of silliness, fantasy, strong sense of place, and a realistic family make it a great pick for middle-grade readers.
It's not easy having a hungry invisible bandapat living in your laundry basket. It's not easy being the worst swimmer in the fourth grade, either.
And it's really not easy to make pumpkin ice cream taste better than baby food.
Hank Wolowitz is spending all his money on squash for his invisible pal, Inkling, while trying to survive swim class. Meanwhile, back in the family ice-cream shop, Dad sweats unsuccessfully to make a fall flavor that will bring in customers.
Disaster strikes when a truck selling ice-cream whoopie pies parks down the street and starts doing a booming business. Dad goes insane. Mom gets angry. But Hank and Inkling get fired up. Soon they are ready to try anything—a unicorn costume, killing with kindness, a legion of supervillains, anything!—to get Hank's life under control and prevent a full-scale whoopie pie war.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"The chapters are short and snappy, Bliss's illustrations add energy and help extend the text, and our hero Hank is fun to cheer for. Ice cream + pumpkins + invisible friends = a lot of fun for chapter book readers." — The Horn Book
"This third title in the series about Hank Wolowitz and his small and invisible (but not imaginary) sidekick blends slapstick with wordplay, and readers will enjoy the realistic dialogue as much as the body language in Bliss' wry spot black-and-white drawings." — Booklist

Blood Borne Pathogen Standard
Occupational Safety and Health Act 29CFR part 1910.1030
Presented to CCRI Faculty and Staff
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard is to limit occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials in order to prevent the transmission of diseases such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and others.
SCOPE: All employees who could be reasonably expected, as a result of their job duties, to come into contact with blood or other infectious materials. Federal OSHA does not apply to Rhode Island state employees, but the Rhode Island Department of Labor has adopted an essentially identical Standard for state employees. CCRI comes under the jurisdiction of the Rhode Island Department of Labor.
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF BLOODBORNE INFECTIONS: Transmission by sexual contact, shared needles, blood transfusions, accidental needle sticks, contact of infected fluid with mouth, eyes, abraded skin, etc. Which body fluids are infectious? What happens to exposed persons? What happens if actual infection occurs? Need for Universal Precautions.
COMMUNICATION OF HAZARDS TO EMPLOYEES: Conducted in small training sessions tailored to individual department needs. Training must be repeated annually. Training video, Universal Precautions for School Staff. Copies of this written training session and accompanying handouts are available to all College employees. Keep these for future reference in case of questions or accidental exposure. More information can be obtained from your trainer, the College Health Service, the CCRI Office of Human Resources or OH+R.
WHAT CONSTITUTES OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE? Accidental needle sticks from improperly packaged sharps; cuts from broken glass containers of body fluids; accidental skin contact with vomit, urine or feces possibly contaminated with blood.
- Puncture-proof sharps containers are used to dispose of use hypodermic needles, scalpels, lances, etc. Used sharps are never thrown directly in the trash. Signs and Labels (including red or orange biohazard symbol) on all sharps containers and medical waste containers (from MLTC, Dental, and Nursing labs, and from Student Health offices).
- Use gloves when moving or handling anything containing biohazardous materials. Use heavy gloves and dustpan and brush when cleaning up sharps such as broken glass or loose hypodermic needles. Put such items in a sharps container. Use personal protection (gloves, goggles, face shield, apron, etc.) appropriate to the situation when assisting anyone with injuries, such as a cut, scrape, bloody nose, etc.
- CPR should only be administered by properly trained and certified persons who follow approved procedures and use gloves and approved CPR mouthpiece, dam or bag.
- For cleanup of blood, urine, vomit or feces, use gloves and appropriate disinfectant. Dispose of contaminated material and gloves in sealed plastic bags. Wash hands with disinfectant soap after any cleanup operation.
- Wash exposed tissues thoroughly with disinfectant soap after any contact with possibly infectious material. Report suspected exposure at once and seek testing and counseling from OH+R
HEPATITIS B VACCINATION: The vaccine series is offered free through the College Health Service to any individual whose job duties expose him/her to contact with possibly infectious body fluids. You may elect not to take the vaccine for any reason (for instance, high antibody titre, allergy to the vaccine or simply, your preference). If you refuse the HBV vaccine you may be asked to sign a waiver. At present, there is no known vaccine effective against the AIDS virus or the Hepatitis C virus.
TESTING AND POST-EXPOSURE FOLLOW-UP: Any CCRI employee who suffers an exposure to bloodborne pathogens is urged to seek testing, and, if necessary, treatment and follow-up counseling. This can be provided by the employee's own physician or at an emergency room. Testing, treatment and counseling are also available through Workers Compensation to College employees by Occupational Health and Rehabilitation, Inc. of Warwick and Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Immediate response to worker exposure or injury is available. Information on OH+R services is available from the CCRI Office of Human Resources and on the handout accompanying this Exposure Control Plan. Exposure and testing records are confidential and kept by OH+R.
The Rhode Island Department of Health website has specific information on:
Please contact Rick Foote or Gigi Dambreville for any further information or training on bloodborne pathogens.

Pronounced: EN-ter-al FEED-ing
Enteral feeding, or tube feeding, is a way to deliver nutrients through a tube if you cannot take food or drink through your mouth. In some cases, you may only need tube feeding for a short period of time during your hospital stay. In other cases, you may need to go home with the tube in place and continue to receive nutrition this way. It may be temporary or permanent.
Depending on your condition, you may have a tube that leads from the:
Gastrostomy Tube
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Tube feeding provides you with proper nutrition when a condition makes it difficult, unsafe, or impossible to take food in through your mouth. Fluids and medications can also be given through the tube.
Possible complications of tube feeding include:
If you have gastroesophageal reflux , you may be at increased risk for vomiting or aspirating.
If you are in the hospital or at a clinic, before the feeding, the staff will:
Tube feedings may be delivered by several methods. Depending on your condition, a nurse, trained caregiver, or family member may deliver the tube feeding. If you are able, you may receive training on how to give yourself the feedings.
The feeding tube will be clamped or kinked. A large syringe will be attached to it. The formula will be poured slowly into the syringe. The tube will then be unclamped, and the syringe will be held high. This allows gravity to move the formula through the tube. When the feeding is done, the tube will be flushed with water to prevent clogging. The tube will then be clamped again, and the syringe will be removed. The tube will be re-capped and taped to the body. If the syringe method is used, you will need several feedings throughout the day. These are called bolus feedings.
First, the formula will be poured into the feeding bag. The bag will be hung on a pole. The tube from the bag will be connected to the clamped feeding tube. When the 2 tubes are connected, the feeding tube will be unclamped, allowing the formula to flow. As with the syringe method, gravity will move the formula through the tube. The flow can also be adjusted using a regulator clamp. When the feeding is done, a syringe filled with water will be used to flush the tube. Lastly, the tube will be capped and taped to your body. You will have several feedings during the day.
These steps are similar to the gravity-drip method. The difference is that the tubes are connected to an electronic pump. The pump will be programmed to deliver the formula at a set rate per hour. For example, with continuous feeding, you will slowly be fed throughout the day. If you need this approach, the feeding will be stopped every 4 hours. The tube will be flushed with water so that it does not get clogged. The pump method can also be used for bolus feedings.
Getting nutrition through a tube is not painful. You may have an upset stomach. To help prevent this:
After the tube feeding, the following steps will be taken by you or a caregiver:
Remember that you still need to take care of your mouth and teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day, or as advised by your doctor.
If you have tube feeding at home, you will be instructed to call your doctor right away if you have:

text: I installed PMS and it works great as long as I play SD format files - stored as dvr-ms (recorded using MCE). When I use it to play HD files, it stutters a lot. Since I am using Wireless, I thought I will setup a max bandwidth and change the transcode settings to medium quality. However, it seems to make no difference. I still see that the peak bitrate (and the average bitrate) is well above the max that I setup (as reported on the status page).

Hi, I am Danny Batson (Knouse) and I am a lifelong resident of the Chillicothe area. I was born in 1951 and graduated from CHS in 1969. I took over my dad's septic tank business that he founded in 1937. While I have been in every state (except Hawaii and Maine), there is no place like home! I love taking pictures of old and unusual things and sharing them. There is beauty in everything, if we look for it. I have three Facebook pages filled with local pictures that may be of interest: "Where Has Danny Been," Chillicothe Now," and "Danny Batson".
Hi, I am Gary Thomas and I was born just across from Central School in 1942. I graduated from CHS in 1960 and MU in 1964. After two years in Army, I completed a graduate degree at the University of Chicago in 1970. After working in software development for more than 40 years, I retired from Raytheon in 2007. I have an abiding interest in history and in researching past events, places, and people. My latest project is developing a history-based chronology for Livingston County from 1801-2000.
Fishing, that's what we did a lot of as kids growing up in Chillicothe. No video games to play; not much to see on a B/W TV back then. We just had to make our own fun. When we wanted to go fishing we would have to find a place to dig up worms.
One of the best places for finding fishing worms was on the banks of a little creek at the east end of First and Brunswick. It was not a real creek but more like a water drainage ditch when it rained.
Back then in our end of town many of the houses had no city sewer connections; their waste water ran into that little ditch. Now I can tell you the name we called it back then, Sh** Creek. Well, that was what everyone called it, we would laugh every time we said it. That ditch had rich green worms from the waste.
My sister and I didn't see each other to often back then, we would have a lot of fun when we did. I was always excited when I was around her, she was my big sister.
One time we were in that smelly old ditch and as I was digging, I was a good digger with a potato fork. I swung it back like a shovel and popped her in the mouth. It broke her front tooth as you see in the picture. That's when I learned you don't want to make your older sister mad!
After we would get our worms our parents would take us to an old river bed just outside of town. One was called Patterson Slew just southwest of town, Bear Lake was just across the Grand river from that. Then there was a slew out on Hwy 170 across the Thompson river to the south, I have forgotten its name. Everything was called by the property owners name back then. We would bring home old yellow belly mud cats by the stringer full.
Once in a while we would catch a carp and the fight was on. Most of the time it would break our line.
As you see memories of your childhood are short but they last forever. Remember to make a few new ones every chance you get. Today my sister, who lives in Kansas City, and I watch our kids and grandkids grow up making their own memories.
We cherish the good things we see in their life and forget the bad. We can only hope they do the same with us.
In case you may have missed DB's first post on this topic, I am enclosing my copy of that as well.
Gone Fishing I by Danny Batson·
The Red Ball Truck Stop on old Hwy 36 West was one busy place growing up in the 50's and 60's. Some of our readers may recall that behind the Red Ball was a big pond with an island in the middle. It was built to be a "pay to fish" place originally. By the time I was old enough to ride my bike there, it was just a fishing hole open to everyone for free.
The only problem was the fish in the pond were mostly Buffalo, a close kin and brother to the Carp. They would not bite on earth worms or dough bait; we had to snag them with a big treble hook---at least that was what we thought at the time. Being snake infested, we would hardly ever swim in his pond. From time to time, the Grand River would flood the bottoms and would "restock" the pond and bring in more variety. Then we were able to catch some fish that would bite on bait. Buffalo fish or not, It was a kid's paradise.
I remember my buddies and I built a raft to get to the island. Since it was the first time we had ever built one they always sank until we finally got it right. The gallon jugs we used were not enough to make it float, so we had to find bigger and more effective flotation devices. What we could find for free, we used. Our makeshift raft could only carry one of us at a time, so we found a piece of rope and rigged it up like a ferry.
Later on, the owner (Donaldson's manufacturing) started dumping sheet metal scrapes into it so as to fill it in. These jagged scraps were usually in the shape of half-moons and circles, perfect flying saucers for boys. We would have wars with them, a very dangerous game then and now. We would hide behind the dump piles and throw them at each other. Yes, we cut ourselves sometimes but that didn't stop us from playing every day.
Let's get back to the ever present Buffalo fish; we figured out how to "catch" them in quantity. We searched for small glass jars with lids, Remember those tube-like Alka-Seltzer bottles? Well they were the best size for our new fishing method. Back then, I had access to carbide, it was used in miner's lights and old style welding equipment. Trager's Welding shop (next door to us on Leeper Street) had a carbide style welder.
We would fill the bottles half full of water, quickly drop in four or five small pieces of carbide and throw it into the water near where the fish were piping. With carbide you had to be fast because it works just like dynamite, only without a fuse! Some of our homemade grenades would explode inflight and we would hit the ground fast because of the flying glass. If we threw it at just the right time, it would explode under the water with a loud "whump" and the water would shoot up and the fish would float to the top.
We even had people buy some from us as carried a wagon full of buffalo fish home. That kind of fishing is illegal now. It probably was back then as well. If our parents knew what kind of stuff we did as kids, they would have killed us. What they didn't know didn't hurt them, or our butts.
Finally, I will tell you this one fact right now. It was not us who burnt the little building down on the island.

A special day became even more so for the East Central Community College baseball program, as a dedication ceremony for the new covered grandstand was followed by a doubleheader sweep of Meridian Community College Wednesday, March 7, 2013, at the Clark/Gay Baseball Complex on the Decatur campus.
Providing a cover for the grandstand was a longtime dream of the late Jamie Clark, who led the Diamond Warrior program from 1988 to 2001, when he lost his battle with cancer.
The covering, estimated to cost $30,000, was provided through private contributions and various fundraising efforts led by current head coach and former Clark assistant Neal Holliman and staff members.
ECCC President Dr. Billy Stewart and Athletic Director Chris Harris participated in the dedication ceremony flanked by Coach Holliman, his staff and team members.
The Diamond Warriors capped the day's activities by claiming a pair of 7-6 decisions of the rival Eagles to improve to 7-8 on the season.
Meridian took an early 1-0 advantage in the opener, which featured seven lead changes.
The Diamond Warriors took the lead for good in the seventh inning on Ryan Shotts' RBI single scoring Zach May.
Shotts, a Louisville High School product, also singled earlier in the nine-inning contest. May is a product of Newton County High School.
Caleb Woods of Leake Central also belted two singles for EC and was credited with an RBI.
Other hitters were Tim Anderson of Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa, Kalik May of Tuscaloosa County, Chase Domino of Fairhope (Ala.) High School, Jordan Mixon of East Webster, Kyle Henson of Starkville Academy, Caleb McKee of Neshoba Central, singles each. May was also credited with two RBIs. Others knockings in runs were Rubert Alcantara of the Dominican Republic, Woods and McKee.
Runs were also scored by Deion Ulmer (2) of Laurel, Anderson, Alcantara, Mixon, and Henson.
Starter Fernando Gonzalez recorded the win, as the Puerto Rico native allowed two earned runs on five hits through 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander fanned five batters and walked one.
Mitchell Wooten of Edinburg got the save. Wooten hurled the final three innings and allowed one earned run on three hits. He struck out three batters.
In the nightcap, Shotts' walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh provided EC the winning margin.
Shotts also belted a double and was credited with three RBIs.
Other hitters were Anderson, two triples; Alcantara, double, single and RBI; Kalik May and Domino, double and RBI each; and Xzavier Franklin of Newton County and Woods, singles each. Maxwell Harmon of Taylorsville was also credited with an RBI.
Runs were scored by Domino (2), Anderson, Kalik May, Franklin, Woods and Zach May
Starter Caleb McKee of Neshoba Central picked up the win. McKee allowed two earned runs on six hits through 5 2/3 innings. He also fanned six batters and walked three.
Wooten got the save, allowing one earned run on no hits. He also walked a batter.
EC travels to Northeast MS Community College Saturday, March 9 in doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. on the Booneville campus.
The Diamond Warriors begin MACJC South Division competition Tuesday, March 12 against Pearl River Community College. Doubleheader action begins at 3 p.m. at the Clark/Gay Baseball Complex on the Decatur campus.

I created a dimension using "yellow" instead of "of layer".
Then I liked to change the colour of the dimension. This is unfortunately impossible (neither for the labels nor the dimension lines). Then I created a new one using "of Layer" and tried to change to any colour: again not possible.
For lines the same procedure works fine, but not for dimensions.
Is there a simple solution or is it a bug?
Best regards,
