There was a time when many women went on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to ease the symptoms of menopause and to help protect them from osteoporosis. But that all changed with the discovery that HRT may increase the risk of breast cancer and heart disease.
Since then, many women have turned to other pharmacological options, like selective estrogen receptor modulators (raloxifene; Evista) and bisphosphonates (alendronate; Fosamax) to prevent and treat osteoporosis. But these medications aren't without their side effects, either. Raloxifene can increase the risk of blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) and the lungs (pulmonary embolism), while alendronate can cause severe damage to the esophagus and may increase the risk of thigh bone fracture.
Safer alternatives to drug therapy for osteoporosis prevention are clearly needed, and some researchers think the answer might lie in products containing soy isoflavones.
Isoflavones have weak estrogen-like effects in the body, which may lend them their bone-building activity. They don't appear to have the same negative effects on hormone-sensitive tissues in the body, though, making them good candidates for osteoporosis prevention.
A study conducted at the Osteoporosis Research Center at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, investigated the effects of a combination isoflavone/nutrient supplement on measures of bone density in 70 post-menopausal women. Nutrients were chosen on the basis of previous trials that have shown their positive effects on bone health.
For six months, the women took an isoflavone supplement plus 500 mg of calcium per day, or placebo plus 500 mg of calcium. The isoflavone supplement supplied 30 mg of synthetic genistein (one of the most widely used soy isoflavones), 800 IU of vitamin D3, 150 mcg of vitamin K1, and 1 gram of the essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA.
After six months, women in the isoflavone group maintained the same bone density at the femoral neck (a common place for fractures to occur), whereas bone mineral density at that site decreased significantly in the placebo group. Bone density was also significantly greater in the isoflavone versus the placebo group at another measurement area in the hip (called Ward's triangle).
The isoflavone supplement was generally well tolerated and no significant safety concerns regarding its use were discovered.
"As a physician, I am cautious about using concentrated soy ingredients, especially in women with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers," explains Erica LePore, a naturopathic doctor in Rhode Island. "At the same time, the options for preventing osteoporosis are few, and most of the drugs are riddled with side effects. I think this supplement could offer a good alternative for many women who want to avoid prescription medications for bone building, and I'm interested in seeing more research on it."

A Lincoln County woman fed up with the state's current closed primary election system wants to change how Mississippians vote.
Marla Nottingham is starting out small, but is hoping her effort pays off for others looking for the same change.
"It's just wrong. It's just wrong on so many levels," said Nottingham.
To Nottingham, each signature on her grassroots petition is a step in the right direction.
"I've had nothing but excellent reaction," she said. "So many people that I've talked to are just frustrated."
Nottingham is hoping to change Mississippi's closed primary election system, which requires voters to choose a political party before they cast a ballot, and then only vote for candidates within that party.
"The fact that I'm an independent and I was made to choose a party at this election last week really bothered me," said Nottingham. "I believe that I should vote for the man or woman; that's voting for office on their merits, not on their party affiliation."
In the few days she has been circulating her petition, more than 500 people already agree with her, ad the list is growing with folks like Patsy Moak, who wasted no time in adding her name to the list.
"I think it's a great idea to be like Louisiana," Moak said. "Flip flop and you can vote for any party."
So far Nottingham is a one-woman show, hoping her petition will spread across the state and accomplish something once in the spotlight before.
State lawmakers have taken up open primary legislation in the past but it never made it into law. Through this petition, the hope is to circumvent the legislative process altogether.
The U.S. Justice Department struck down the legislature's attempts, so by creating a voter initiative, Nottingham hopes the decision will be left in the hands of voters.
"People have to have the right to choose," said Nottingham.
"They have to have the freedom to vote the way they want to and not be told you have to choose one or the other."
From feeds stores to small town restaurants, it's a petition process Nottingham says she'll continue to fight for, one signature at a time.
Nottingham does plan to eventually turn the petition over to the secretary of state's office, once she gets enough signatures, which of course, will all have to be verified.
Nottingham says she does not have the resources to travel the state, but those interested in joining her effort may reach her at 601-734-6763.

The Summit Tigers are still holding onto hope that the playoff cards will play out in their favor.
A loss Friday night to the Rifle Bears didn't help, though.
At the end of the third quarter, the Tigers (4-13 overall; 3-9 Western Slope) and Bears (7-8 overall; 4-6 Slope) were at each other's throats, battling it out for the win. It was 24-21, with the Bears in the lead.
But then, the fourth quarter hit.
"We kind of fell apart," Summit head coach Phil Tronsrue said.
The Bears had a small streak and Summit attempted to respond with three-pointers. Those didn't convert.
As the clock ticked down, the Tigers began fouling to regain possession, but the Bears hit their free throws to tick the score further in their favor.
The final score was 44-29.
It was a must-win game for Summit, which has been hoping to sneak into postseason play. But things aren't looking good: Summit is at the bottom of the rankings. Depending on how things shake out this week for Battle Mountain and Glenwood Springs, though, the bottom of the rankings could get shaken up a bit.
"It depends. We could all be right there. If both got beat tonight, we're all still there with three wins," Tronsrue said.
Meanwhile, Rifle is neck-and-neck with Steamboat Springs for the fourth and fifth spots.
The teams played evenly throughout the night, which was also senior night for the Tigers.
"Defensively, we played really well. It was a battle. We were right in there, we were battling with them. We held them to good stops," Tronsrue said. "But, we missed some easy scoring opportunities offensively - we didn't finish."
Next Friday, Summit plays at Delta.
There's a week between games, plenty for the Tigers to consider their loss and rally for another win against Delta.
It won't be easy, though - the Panthers will likely be remembering their 66-53 road loss to Summit.
Meanwhile, Rifle takes on Eagle Valley today, then has nearly a week to consider its fate in the conference.

The guy who killed Osama bin Laden said Jessica Chastain is "awesome" in "Zero Dark Thirty."
Chastain is nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for playing CIA Agent "Maya," based on a real woman whose identity remains hidden.
In a new interview with Esquire magazine, the anonymous Navy SEAL (referred to as "the Shooter" throughout the article) talks about how killing bin Laden in May 2011 changed his and his family's lives and about the film based on the raid in Pakistan.
The Shooter said Chastain's portrayal was "awesome. They made her a tough woman, which she is," he said, according to Us Weekly.
He also talked about the film's inaccuracies. He said there was too much talking between SEAL team members -- silence is the standard practice -- and they would never yell "breacher" during an assault.
"It was fun to watch. There was just little stuff," he said. "The helos (helicopters) turned the wrong way (toward the target), and they talked way, way too much (during the assault on bin Laden's compound). If someone was waiting for you, they could track your movements that way."
While watching the film, he said "They torture the (expletive) out of people in this movie, don't they? Everyone is chained to something."
He does not make clear whether he believes the movie was accurate in this regard.
The Shooter said tactics "sucked" in the film and "the mission in the damn movie took way too long" compared to real events. "When Osama went down, it was chaos, people screaming. No one called his name. They Hollywooded it up some."
According to Us, the Shooter said he brought the real-life "Maya" over to bin Laden's body and she cried. "That's when I took my magazine out of my gun and gave it to her as a souvenir," he said. "Twenty-seven bullets left in it. That was the last time I saw her."

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your healthcare provider if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your healthcare provider, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your healthcare provider.
Common name:
Acyclovir is an antiviral drug that may be recommended for patients who are at risk for moderate or severe chickenpox, such as children 12 or older or adults, especially those with any of the following:
Acyclovir given to persons of any age may help decrease the duration and severity of chickenpox and shorten the time of contagiousness to others. It is most effective when started in the first 24 hours after onset of chickenpox. Its effectiveness decreases significantly if begun more than 72 hours after the onset of the rash.
Acyclovir can be taken orally. For adults, there is some evidence that the related drugs valacyclovir and famciclovir might be more effective. Acyclovir can be given by vein for severely sick or hospitalized patients, especially when the highest possible dosages are required.
Possible side effects include:
Antibiotics are given in cases where the chickenpox rash has become infected by staphylococcal or streptococcal organisms. Some of these organisms may be resistant to common antibiotics, especially when infection is acquired in the hospital.
Possible side effects include:
These are signs of an allergic reaction and require immediate medical attention.
Common names include:
Immune globulin is a blood product that contains antibodies to the chickenpox virus.
For prevention : It is given by injection immediately after exposure to the VZV virus (within 96 hours).
For treatment : In some patients, it can be given to help decrease the severity of chickenpox.
For prevention or treatment : It is usually only given to people who are at risk for severe complications from the disease. These include:
Common name:
Antihistamines are used to reduce the itch that comes from the rash. The medication can be taken orally or applied to the skin.
The most common side effect of oral antihistamines is drowsiness. Topical diphenhydramine can produce a severe allergic skin rash. It can also cause severe sedation due to absorption from injured skin. It is generally not recommended for treating chickenpox.
Common names include:
Acetaminophen is taken to control the high fever caused by chickenpox.
Common names include:
Ibuprofen is taken to control the high fever caused by chickenpox.
Note : Ibuprofen should not be given to anyone with peptic ulcer disease, kidney failure, high risk of bleeding disorder, or known hypersensitivity. Special caution should be used in people with congestive heart failure, liver or kidney disease, high blood pressure, and those on anticoagulant.

X-FAB Extends Statistical Modeling Support for Analog/Mixed-Signal Processes
Monte Carlo simulation and circuit resizing with statistical and worst-case corners enables robust, high-yielding designs
X-FAB Silicon Foundries, the world's leading foundry group for analog/mixed-signal semiconductor applications, today completed the rollout of its statistical modeling suite for Monte Carlo simulation on its 0.6 and 0.35 micrometer analog/ mixed-signal technology platforms. Using it, designers gain full flexibility to accommodate all variations associated with designing and manufacturing analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). The statistical models enable their designs to be more robust and meet performance specifications across environmental corners.
Monte Carlo simulation covers matching and process variations. The simulation randomly generates values, according to predefined distributions for dedicated design parameters, to find solutions for complex design problems that cannot easily be solved. Sizing runs that include statistical and worst-case corners lead to optimized analog-mixed/signal designs.
X-FAB's combination of safe operating area check, parasitic and, now, full statistical modeling support, enables design teams to perform design centering and optimization. This approach results in reliable, high-yielding designs and faster time to market.
According to Thomas Ramsch, director of design support at X-FAB, "Designing analog/ mixed-signal ICs is quite complicated and requires a depth of experience. We are pleased to offer full statistical modeling support because it helps take the mystery out of this process, leading to a robust solution and faster time to market for our customers."

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team will finally be able to dust off the bats and get back to live action on Friday afternoon in the first practice of the Spring season. The Jan. 27 date is the NCAA mandated starting point for all practice of the upcoming 2012 season.
Head Coach Scott Malone and his coaching staff can feel the anticipation building, not only on campus, but also around the nation as the wait for college baseball is almost over.
"I think ever since the NCAA went to a national start date two or three years ago, it kind of makes tomorrow bigger," said Malone. "With social media, you hear every head coach from everywhere, Florida State, UCLA, Minnesota, everybody is tweeting this week about the countdown to Friday and starting full team practice.
"For college baseball, tomorrow is a huge day. You finally get to spend the time you want to with these guys and start doing your best to get them ready to play."
While the Islanders were able to hit and pitch outside of normal practice, Friday will mark the first time the pitchers and hitters will be able to face each other at the plate since Fall practice. An additional wrinkle for the team will be traveling to Cabaniss Field for the first few days of practice before getting on the newly resurfaced Chapman Field at the start of February.
"Having to spend the first three days off campus over at Cabaniss, on one hand, obviously we're thankful for CCISD for accommodating us and getting us over there," said Malone. "So many great teams have come through that place on the high school level, it will be kind of neat for some of our local guys get over there."
"We'll have three good day, pitcher will have a chance to throw to live hitters, live hitters will get a chance to hit off live pitchers for the first time," Malone said. "It'll be good to see these guys compete a little bit for the first time."
With practice just starting, the team will not have much time before the first game of the season creeps up on Feb.17 against Nebraska – Omaha.
"Tomorrow we are three weeks away from game one, it's a fun thought, an exciting thought, and it's a little scary thought," said Malone. "You have to get this thing put together as fast as you can; find nine, twelve, fourteen guys that you feel like can to continue to grow this program where we've taken it, where the players before have taken it."
The team will practice from 2:30 – 6 p.m. on Friday, and also have at 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday and finish the weekend with a 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. session on Sunday.
"I'm going to enjoy just throwing the bats and balls out on the field and see what we look like," said Malone. "It should be a fun weekend."

A very sweet boy that will do anything for you. He'll always be there for you no matter what. He'll love you with all of his heart and prove it every way he can. He will make you feel like a princess, and he'll never mistreat you.
"You seem so happy! What's your boyfriends name?"

You know he's bad news, but that never stops you from longing for his husky voice and his tastefully seductive body. The lust buried deep inside you always somehow manages to come to life like a phoenix being reborn from its ashes. This is what He does to you. But there is another side. Hidden beneath his scarred heart lay memories of terror. Something happened to him. He was never the same. He has a split personality, in a way, half human, half monster. The only thing left in the world that makes him happy lingers before his very eyes and is taken away forever in a single second. He now lives a tortured existence, longing for what he knows he will never have.
Labrijonay: My god, I miss Fabio.
Saleisha: Oh yeah, wasn't he, like, totally deep, and amazing and now tortured that he lost you.
Labrijonay: Yeah, he's a total Dalton.

A really sweet, caring guy on the inside, even though he might seem like a jerk. You have to be best in show to date him, or else he will move on. Really great looking, usually has dark hair, and kinda short. Loves Hockey, almost as much as he loves women. If he likes you, he never forgets you. Love him if your boyfriend is named Dalton, you will never meet another guy that makes you feel so special <3.
Man, that guy is so sweet, he could be a Dalton!
by ConfusedBabe March 01, 2010
a strong boy, but not as strong as everybody thinks. he has his downfalls just like everybody else. he's been through a lot of hardships in his life, but you'd never guess that by talking to him. he'll be your bestfriend, or your worst nightmare. he has very few flaws. one of them being that he lets big ego get in the way a little too much. once you see past that, he's great.
dalton, you're worth something to me, you always have been & you always will be. please don't ever forget that.

A Dalton is a guy who is beautiful, so damn beautiful some would say. He has a sexy high-pitched voice and an amazing laugh. You have to watch out though, because Daltons are often dangerous, so watch out because we've seen that type before. Having said that he is good at sports, and Daltons have the potential for big six packs, though six packs tend to grow when they get older. He is often nice and has a big heart most of the time. A Dalton can also mean babe-licious.
Whoa! He doesnt have a six pack! What a dalton!

I like eggnog but it can be hard to get through an entire glass. That's why this creamy fudge is so great—it's got the same flavors of vanilla and nutmeg, not to mention real bourbon and dark rum.

The European Union, which was formed in 1993 to create a single currency and common market that could compete with the United States, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year for having contributed to the advancement of "reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe." For a continent that once waged the Hundred Years' War, this was no small feat.
But during the recent holiday season, somebody at EU HQ found out that, if consumed in sufficient quantities, Danish cinnamon rolls were toxic. By Christmas, there wasn't a danish in all of Denmark that the EU food police hadn't marked with the threat of death. Cinnamon rolls were banned in Denmark and in peril of yeasty excommunication across the continent.
In bakeries and patisseries all over Europe, this was an unleavened catastrophe. "It's the end of the cinnamon roll as we know it," mourned Hardy Christensen, head of the Danish Baker's Association, to London's Daily Telegraph.
Now a terrifying question arises: could a cinnamon roll crackdown come to California's nanny state? What would happen to the already dismal retention rate at the San Jose Police Department if there were no fluffy cinnamon-infused cakes at Stan's or Rollo's to help with stationary crime-busting?
The horror
There is no way of predicting the legislative fiats of the U.S. Congress, of course, and the California Legislature doesn't reconvene until Jan. 6. But the prospect of a life without that golden brown scroll of thick, chewy dough to unfurl -- the amazing lightness of its texture belied by the roll's groaning heft -- is simply too much to contemplate.
Spice experts -- yes, there are spice experts -- were quick to point to the differences between poisonous supermarket cinnamon in European rolls and the high-test Indonesian imports used in America. It appears that if the EU wants to wave its Gallic nose over our sticky buns, it will first have to pry the Cinnabon from our cold, dead, ooey gooey fingers.
The problem with Denmark's beloved kanelsnegler is coumarin, a naturally occurring toxic agent in cassia. But as a Cinnabon spokesperson in Atlanta noted dryly, the international chain infuses its rolls -- which resemble sofa pillows with icing -- with Makara, "a proprietary cinnamon from a tree in Indonesia." Among the company's many important innovations in bun technology was removing the chokingly dry outer ring of the bun to create a product that's almost all proprietary cinnamon and icing, dubbed Center of the Roll.
Norwegians also received a stern Christmas warning from that country's food safety authorities about cinnamon rolls, known there as skillingsboller, advising that "heavy users of cinnamon should limit their intake." In response, Sweden reclassified its iced spice cakes, known askanenbullar, as a seasonal dish, with a permitted cinnamon level more than three times higher than Denmark's, at 50mg per kilo. Other EU countries replied to the ban by quickly ignoring it.
Speak out!
According to the Telegraph, a study for the U.K.'s Food Standards Agency found that the average exposure to coumarin in Britain was 55 times less than the EU "tolerable daily limit" of 0.1mg per kilo of body weight. "An average person would have to eat so many Danish pastries in order to be affected," said Paul Nuttall, the deputy leader of the U.K. Independence Party, "they would certainly die of obesity before being hurt by a low level of cinnamon."
But at places such as Greenlee's Bakery, famous for the sticky cinnamon bread it sells on The Alameda in San Jose, apprehension had to be taking the edge off the sugar high. The concern may have remained unspoken, but on the inside, where people's arteries were hardening, it went something like this:
First they came for the cinnamon roll, and no one spoke out because there were also bear claws available. Then they came for the Cinnabon stands at the airports, and no one spoke out because there were Cinnabon stands at every mall within a mile of the airport. Then they came for my cinnamon roll, and I had so much stuffed in my mouth that there was no one left to speak for me.

USA, 2012, 82 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, RomanceLanguage: English
Both traveling for work, in a city in which neither lives, a man (Chris Messina) and a woman (Marin Ireland) recognize each other across a hotel dining room. Months earlier, shortly before her wedding, they spent an erotic night together in what they thought was a one-night stand. They wind up in bed together a second time … and then again—and again, in a series of different hotel rooms in different cities, over a period of years. He, too, eventually marries, but they continue to meet when his work as a novelist and hers as a corporate accountant take them to various cities. Their intense attraction slowly evolves into a relationship so profound that they realize it may be the one that matters most. The film explores the irresistible magnetism between its two unnamed characters, and the painful and confusing situation in which they find themselves.
In his feature directorial debut, actor Matt Ross takes a very character-oriented approach to filmmaking, following lengthy discussions with friend and actor colleague Messina, one of the film's executive producers. Ross, Messina, and Ireland all bring theater experience to this very artistic endeavor. In an Indiewire interview, Ross said he was blessed with "kick-ass" producers. Doug Emmett's skilled camerawork lends a distinctive "foreign film" feel to the scenes shot in the contained settings of unspectacular hotel rooms. Each scene moves the story abruptly forward as the couple develop new levels of intimacy during their brief periods together.

A Denver, Colo.-based company plans to begin a horizontal shale drilling operation in Adams Township by the end of this year.
Petroleum Development Corp. (PDC) Energy, which also maintains an office in Bridgeport, W.Va., issued a press release Wednesday stating that the third of three horizontal wells being drilled in southeast Ohio would be located in northern Washington County.
The first two wells have already been drilled in Guernsey County.
The (Washington County) well will be the first horizontal well drilled in the company's southern acreage, and first sales from the three horizontal wells are anticipated in the second quarter of 2013, according to the release.
"Our plan is to spud (begin drilling) that well in the fourth quarter of this year-these are the first horizontal wells we've drilled in that area of Ohio," Ron Wirth, director of investor relations for PDC, said from the Denver office Wednesday morning.
He said the company has drilled some vertical test wells previously in Belmont and Morgan counties to obtain core samples from the geological formations.
Fact Box
About PDC Energy
PDC (Petroleum Development Corp.) is an independent energy company engaged in the development, production and marketing of natural gas and oil.
PDC's operations are focused primarily in the Wattenberg Field of Colorado, including the horizontal Niobrara and Codell, the Utica Shale in Ohio and the Marcellus Shale development in West Virginia.
PDC is included in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index and the Russell 3000 Index of Companies.
Source: PDC Energy, Inc
"We've been looking at the Utica shale play in the southeast portion of Ohio early on. And the company has been drilling in the Appalachian Basin for more than 40 years," Wirth said. "We currently have approximately a total of 45,000 net acres located in Morgan, Noble and Washington counties."
He said the company was initially seeking a joint venture partnership, but later decided to develop the acreage on its own.
PDC expects to invest $50 million in the Utica shale development next year, according to the company news release, which adds that very high initial production rates and high liquids content have been announced from recent well results by other energy companies working in close proximity to PDC's acreage locations.
"We've contacted other counties that have worked with PDC, and are getting good feedback-it seems to be a very reputable company," said Roger Wright, deputy engineer for Washington County.
He said the county and PDC began discussions last week pertaining to the county's Road Use Maintenance Agreement (RUMA), developed earlier this year in anticipation of shale drilling operations coming into Washington County.
By entering into the agreement drilling companies basically promise to repair and maintain roads damaged due to the movement of trucks and other heavy drilling equipment over county roadways.
Wright said Adams Township roads will also come under the county RUMA.
"This will be the first time we've used our road maintenance agreement, and the company had some initial concerns," he said. "They had no problem with fixing the roadways, but they didn't feel it was reasonable to have to stop drilling while they made any road repairs, which was required by the original agreement."
Wright said such issues were negotiable as the RUMA is a flexible document that can be applied on a case by case basis.
"Our road use agreement was patterned from the state's RUMA, but it can be altered by the county," he said. "In fact other counties have made similar adjustments to their agreements."
County engineer Bob Badger noted drilling companies are not required to sign an agreement with the county.
"The state says they have to make a good faith effort to keep the roads maintained," he said. "I would like to have seen a requirement that the agreement be signed before a drilling permit could be issued. But that's not currently required by (Ohio Department of Natural Resources)."
Ohio DNR regulates oil and gas drilling operations within the state.
Badger said PDC vehicles would be using County Road 76, East Branch Road, and Dixon Road in Adams Township.
"The company will have a road consultant making regular checks of those roadways, but we'll also be monitoring the roads, along with township officials," he said.
Wright and Badger accompanied an engineer from PDC on a drive-through of the area Wednesday.
"They'll have survey crews assess the roadways and culverts and do some core borings to help determine how the roads will hold up under heavy traffic," Wright said. "A report will be filed on the road conditions and improvements will be made if needed. Afterward the company will repair any road damage as needed. If any issues come up we'll contact the company and they'll respond."
He said the heaviest volume of traffic could be expected over the two- or three-day period it will take to bring in the initial drilling equipment.
No exact date has been established for the move, but Badger said he understood the company wants to begin development of the operation as soon as possible.

From love poems and odes to Facebook, to pointed messages about America's "suburban waste land," the students at Battle Mountain High School have plenty to say, and spill it they do in Spilled Ink!, Battle Mountain High School's annual literary magazine, which is on sale now. Students read their work aloud during the fourth-annual Spilled Ink! release party Tuesday at the Bookworm of Edwards. This year's edition is on sale for $10, and all proceeds help Spilled Ink!, a student-run organization, to continue another year. Contact Dana Zilliox at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Here's a peek at what some of our local teenagers had to say:
Elementary is about middle, middle
Is about high, high is about college, college
Is about jobs, jobs is about marriage, children
And copy-cat stacked houses in euphoric
Styled suburban waste land.
Wall Street gambles with fake monopoly
Money. I had a friend who stole all of
The parking fees.
Advertising is about stretching, pulling
Model faces until they are so
Injected with silicone that they can no
Longer smile, shame.
Bottomed dollared city rats destroy
Wall with artistic styled blasphemies.
America is about getting what it deserves
However the deserved outcome is not
what America believes it to be.
Bomb the streets, dig millions of holes
America lost its roll just as Genghis Khan
And his brothers done lost their crown
And later hence made into clowns. We have 10 fingers
And 12 toes but still can't tell friend from foe.
We kill, bill, and fill
Our minds with stages, rules and pregnant taboos.
If I am a fool then who are you?
- Jake White, Battle Mountain High School senior
I find myself looking for love
In all the wrong places.
Under the bed, in the microwave,
In my shoes, under the table,
Like looking for car keys,
They appear to be lost forever
Yet I have a feeling
They will be found in the next place I look.
So I keep looking and looking
Until ... I find them
In the most obvious place of all,
Right in front of me.
That's how love is ...
I can search and search for it
Without even realizing
It was there all along,
Right in front of me.
- Reeve Sanders, Battle Mountain High School senior
Two years ago I was standing at the edge of a cliff
Ready to make the jump to a place where all my friends had gone before me
Facebook: the final frontier
One left click and the deed was done
At first the friends trickled in slowly; my mom, my neighbor, my dog
But then things started picking up speed, and my index finger was getting sore from clicking accept
Facebook gave me this feeling, that I was some kind of all-knowing presence
And I thought, this must be how God feels
Which begged the question, how had I ever survived without Facebook?
Pretty soon I became obsessive, compulsively checking for red icons in the top left corner
I'd log off and 30 seconds later the pain of not knowing would be so unbearable that I'd log back in
So I stopped logging out all together
I couldn't stop
After a couple of weeks of this, I realized that I was going to have to go cold turkey
And probably attend some kind of AA for Facebook meetings
But I pulled through - the allure had faded
Like any long term relationship, the little things started to bother me
To start, I created a zero tolerance for poking policy
You poked me. I deleted you.
I hadn't checked my Facebook in months, and when I finally did a banner running across the top of my screen read:
658,000 new stories since your last visit
People had pictures of me so old that I didn't even recognize myself
I couldn't handle it - the pressure got to me and I did the unthinkable
I tried to delete my Facebook
It wouldn't let me
A few weeks ago I was standing at the edge of a cliff
Ready to make the jump to a place where only a few of my friends had gone before me
Twitter: the final frontier
- Ali Plzak, Battle Mountain High School sophomore
I believe
In being a patchwork.
Every person
And every experience
Makes up a different
Part of me.
One for a
Summer in the sun.
One for a
Break-up that left me
Cut open wide.
One for each
Of my loony friends
Who always stay by my side.
One for all I lost
In the never-ending battle
Against life.
For me.
- Anna Galer, Battle Mountain High School senior

CHICAGO -- The Sharks brought up Tim Kennedy from Worcester to spark their sluggish offense, and the 26-year-old forward has done just that with two goals in his first three games, including the winner in the 2-1 streak-snapping victory over St. Louis.
Kennedy isn't a stranger to the NHL, having played 112 games for the Buffalo Sabres and Florida Panthers before arriving in San Jose. And he might have been with the Sharks sooner if he weren't injured when the abbreviated training camp suddenly opened in mid-January after the lockout ended.
"There's no doubt in my mind -- he was on our list to come in and compete for that week," coach Todd McLellan said Wednesday. "Where it would have gone, I don't know. But we told him to sit tight, get healthy, get playing again, and he'd get his chance. And he has."
The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Kennedy had a decent 2009-10 rookie season in Buffalo, scoring 10 goals and 26 points. But he took the team to contract arbitration, won his case -- and had to deal with the consequences.
Kennedy didn't dispute the suggestion that going to arbitration might have set his career back. "I was really young, and I was naive when I went into the process," he added.
The Sabres chose to buy out his contract, and Kennedy ended up signing with the Rangers, though he never cracked the New York lineup before landing with the Panthers. He did play in 33 games for the Panthers the past two seasons before being acquired by the Sharks in January 2012.
The lockout actually might have helped Kennedy get back to the NHL, as Sharks coaches spent time in Worcester getting to know the players there. And he got to know what they expected.
So how does San Jose build on its lone February victory -- Tuesday's win in St. Louis that ended a seven-game losing streak -- and come away with a 60-minute win Friday night?
"You work. I thought today we had a good hard practice. Guys realize you can't take moments off on nongame days -- you have to work, you have to invest," McLellan said.

With the death and destruction on the Gulf Coast, thousands locally are heading to church for some answers. News 12 is on your side showing you how local churches are praying for relief.
At Stevens Creek Community Church, it's a somewhat somber service. It's the first Sunday service since the wrath of Hurricane Katrina.
"It all boils down to just fully relying on God and trusting in him in the future, when times come that are tough and unbearable we just have to look up," said Gene Jennings, Stevens Creek Community Church.
It's a similar message this Sunday at First Baptist Church of Augusta, which has already sent a monetary donation.
"Our church also wants to pray for those dealing with the relief efforts in the Gulf Coast region. If our facility is needed, we're ready to help in any way we can. We've offered our facilities in that way," said Roger Murchison, First Baptist Church.
And at the First Baptist Church across the river in North Augusta, they're collecting truckloads of food and water.
"We've already sent one truck out. We switched our trailers yesterday. We filled that one up with water, that one had to go out and we've almost filled this one up behind you," said Hollis Smith, First Baptist Church.
A gentle touch and songs of hope as some ask themselves why? But then, many are asking, what can I do to help?
And a reminder, Warren Baptist Church is also accepting donations for hurricane evacuees who are being sheltered in their church.

NEW ORLEANS – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball team picked up its fourth straight victory including its sixth Southland Conference win Thursday evening with a 3-1 victory (19-25, 25-23, 25-12, 25-16) over New Orleans. The Islanders finished with three players in double figures in kills and tallied a season-high 10 blocks at the Human Performance Center.
Brianna Brink powered the Islanders' (11-7, 6-1 SLC) offense with 15 kills on .303 hitting while Ivy Baresh collected 14 kills, nine digs and tied a career-high five blocks. Freshman Shaquinn Parker had an impressive night with 11 kills on .444 hitting while recording four blocks. Ashley Phelps also contributed to the offense with nine kills. Senior Logen Bourque ran the offense with 51 assists and tallied eight digs. The Islanders hit .237 in the match and limited the Privateers (3-17, 0-7 SLC) to just .109 hitting. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi's defense also had a solid night with 61 digs, including a career-high 21 from Shayla Maldonado. The Islanders out-blocked UNO 10-5 and now have sealed eight of its last nine matches.
The Privateers jumped out to an early first set win on .194 hitting. After battling back and forth to start the set, UNO pulled away on a 6-0 run to take a 13-8 lead. Parker followed with a kill before both teams rallied. Sarah Sanchez pulled the Islanders within five at 19-14 with consecutive kills but New Orleans answered with straight points to take a 21-14 lead. After rallying, the Islanders put together a 3-0 run with kills by Haley Satterwhite Day, Parker and an UNO error to trim the deficit to five. However, after a Parker kill, the Privateers captured the first set 25-19 on a kill. Parker and Brink led the Islanders in the first set with four kills apiece.
The Islanders bounced back to squeeze out a 25-23 second-set victory. Baresh propelled the offense with seven kills while Maldonado picked up six digs. After falling behind early, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi went on a 6-1 run to cut UNO's lead to one at 9-8. After trading points back and forth, the Islanders evened the set at 19-19 on consecutive errors by the Privateers. UNO followed with a kill before Baresh responded with straight kills to put the Islanders in front 21-20. After an Islanders' service error, Baresh once again put down two kills to give the Islanders a 23-21 lead. Following a New Orleans' timeout, the Islanders garnered another point on a Privateer error and after two straight points by UNO, the Islanders sealed the set 25-23 on a service error.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi cruised through the next two sets to win the match. In the third set, the Islanders hit .444 and received five kills apiece from Brink and Baresh. The Islanders jumped out to an 11-8 lead and held the lead through the whole set. Following a Privateer timeout, the home team pulled within one on a kill and an Islanders' error, but straight kills by Brink padded the Islanders' lead to three. After a kill by UNO at 14-12, the Islanders went on an 11-0 run to win the set 25-12. During the run, Baresh added three kills, Sanchez chipped in one and Brink tallied two aces.
New Orleans opened the fourth set with a 9-6 lead before the Islanders gained momentum on a 5-1 run to take a 13-11 lead. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi then padded the lead to 18-14 on four straight points. During the run, Brink tacked on straight kills, Parker added one and Hailey King chipped in an ace.

So I guess you can say I'm on a sports movie kick right now and it might be due to the fact that I'm new to life without college athletics after graduating this May, but either way a kick is a kick. So, let me know what your favorite baseball movies are. I watched a classic this week...A League of Their Own with Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna and Rose O'Donnell. Great flick and one of my favorites. I'm also a big Field of Dreams fan with James Earl Jones, Kevin Costner and Ray Liotta. Another classic!
My favorites, are
Bull Durham
The Natural
Pride of the Yankees
For Love of Game
Little Big League
Angels in the Outfield
Major League (1st one only)
Bad New Bears (the original only)
Stealing Home
Nice list! I've seen about half. Is The Natural the one with Robert Redford?
Yes, Robert Redford is in this movie. Another movie I forgot to mention and should have been in my top ten is Eight men Out the story of the Black Sox scandal.
Nice. Thanks.
A League of Their Own is my favorite baseball movie and also tops my favorite movie of all time list. I'm a huge fan. My softball team quoted this movie non-stop throughout college--and we still laugh about it when we are able to get together.
"Hey cowgirls. See the grass? Don't eat it!"
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
The tryouts in that movie were filmed at Wrigley Field. I know someone who was chosen to be a participant in the tryouts for the movie. You can see her during one of the drills in the tryouts and then again when they are ate beauty school "sipping and not slurping" their tea.
I also met the real Dottie at Nationals in Rockford, IL one summer ball season. I'm pretty sure her name is Dottie Keys and she was the center fielder, not the catcher, for the Peaches. Very nice woman.
Hey MyTwoSons... all great movies. Bad News Bears and Major League are classic.
But I must admit, I was surprised that Field of Dreams didn't crack your Top Ten!
Field of Dreams is a great movie for me to fall asleep to. The Sandlot is another really good movie that I forgot to mention and would have to be tied with another movie in order to not knock off another movie off my list. Since Stealing Home was knocked off by Eight Men Out.
The Natural
Pride of the Yankees
The Sandlot
Field of Dreams
I'm going with The Natural on this one with Field of Dreams coming in a close second.
hmm what a great question...I LOVE BASEBALL movies and im not really one for sports movies in general but Field of Dreams, the Natural, and For the Love of the Game are all tied as my favorite movies of all time. AND they all make me cry everytime!!
I Love Baseball Movies.. Currently now that we have joined up LL I love the
BenchWarmers, Bad News Bears ( new and old ) , Sandlot Kids
Others are "Rhubarb", Pride of the Yankees, Major League 1.
The one with Jimmy Stewart as the one legged baseball player is great.
Look out in the next few years for a Movie about Braves Relief Pitcher Aussie Peter Moylan. He apparently has already been contacted by a Studio to make a movie about his life and amazing come back to MLB ( sort of like "The Rookie" story )
In reality he has gone from a Sunday Bush League player in Australia to be arguably the Braves top or 2nd top closer/Relief Pitcher ( according to the Braves fans ) within 1 Year and all that after he was cut from the minors and many MPH slower several years earlier... after arm surgery and dropping his arm slot, he gained like 10MPH on his fastball upto mid 90's .. He is actually a fairly decent Minor League batter but never gets a chance to bat as a short relief Pitcher at the MLB level.........should make an interesting Movie.
The Worst must be the one with Tom Selleck ?? Mr Baseball ??
Oh come on...Mr. Baseball is a guilty pleasure.
Ha. Love the Bad News Bears. I'll keep a look out for the movie you talked about...sounds like it'd be another good addition with a good story.

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say, 'Thank you?' – William Ward
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. – Psalm 100:1-5
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. – John F. Kennedy

Chesterton
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. – 1 Chronicles 16:34

Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all. – William Faulkner
With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world.' – Isaiah 12:3-5
If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily. – Gerald Good

This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. – 2 Corinthians 9:10-12
When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep? – George Canning
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. – Ephesians 1:15-16
Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart. – Henry Clay
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. – Ephesians 5:3-4
The grateful person, being still the most severe exacter of himself, not only confesses, but proclaims, his debts. – Robert South
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7

About the Book
The passing of the Hungarian prime minister before he could realize his dream of a fascist state has little effect on crime reporter Zsigmond Gordon. Life—and death—go on in the bustling old city, and a late-night tip soon leads him to a crime scene where a young woman lies dead, a Jewish prayer book in her purse. Disturbed by the bizarre circumstances—the corpse of a beautiful, well-groomed, religious victim abandoned in one of Budapest's seedier neighborhoods—Gordon is determined to unravel the mystery of her demise, especially after her shocking identity is revealed. The investigation will lead him deep into the city's dark underbelly—a shadow world of pornographers, crime syndicates, and Communist cells—and to the highest echelons of power, where one of Hungary's most influential executives plans to make an economic killing through his strong political ties to Germany's leaders...if he can somehow keep secret the fact that he was, at one time, Jewish.
A gripping and evocative thriller, brimming with suspense and breathtaking political intrigue, Vilmos Kondor's Budapest Noir is a richly atmospheric tale of murder and betrayal from a remarkable new voice in noir detective fiction.

DOJ Alleges Fraudulent Security Checks By Firm That Vetted Snowden
Originally published on Thu January 23, 2014 2:41 pm
The private contractor that signed off on background checks for both NSA leaker Edward Snowden and Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis is being accused of fraud by the Justice Department for allegedly submitting more than 650,000 incomplete investigations.
The Two-Way's Eyder Peralta first reported in September that U.S. Investigations Services was under criminal investigation for its questionable vetting practices.
In Wednesday's complaint, USIS, the largest outside investigator for government security clearances, is accused of engaging in a practice it called "dumping" or "flushing," which involved intentionally sending the government hundreds of thousands of cases that weren't properly reviewed.
The complaint quotes one USIS official in a memo to his superiors in 2010 as saying cases had been "flushed ... like a dead goldfish," according to The Wall Street Journal.
"Government lawyers accused the company of releasing investigations that had not been complete, a practice referred to in court documents as 'dumping.' The government quoted from internal company emails to argue that the practice was widespread.
" 'Have a bit of a backlog building, but fortunately, most people are off this week so no one will notice!' one USIS employee wrote in 2010."
Justice claims that from 2008 to 2012, about 40 percent of the investigations by USIS were fraudulently submitted.
USIS, which employs 6,000 workers and has served as the government's largest security background check company since that function of the federal government was privatized by the Clinton administration in 1996, says in a statement that "integrity and excellence are core values."
"The alleged conduct referenced in the civil complaint is contrary to our values and commitment to exceptional service," USIS says. "These allegations relate to a small group of individuals over a specific period of time and are inconsistent with the strong service record we have earned since our inception in 1996."
The WSJ reports:
"USIS conducted what federal officials say was a faulty 2011 background investigation of Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked classified documents on the government's surveillance programs to the international media. The company also conducted a 2007 security examination of Aaron Alexis, the defense contractor who died last September after killing 12 people in a shooting spree at the Washington Navy Yard.
"USIS has said that the government raised no objections at the time about its review of Mr. Snowden and that it was unable to comment on alleged problems with the check of Mr. Alexis because it wasn't allowed under its contract to retain records."

Technical Abstract: This year the drought in the Midwest has significantly reduced the growth and yield of all crops. When the growth of the cash crop has been reduced by drought or any other cause it is important to remember that more nitrogent than normal will remain in the soil after harvest. This nitrogen will be very susceptible to leaching and loss from the soil profile unless another plant is there to take up this nitrogen. Cover crops should be considered in drought years or in any farming system where nitrogen is found in the soil profile between harvest and planting of the cash crops. In this webinar we discuss the research that shows that cover crops can take up this left over nitrogen, the other benefits of cover crops, and the many cover crop species that can be planted across the Midwest.

TAHOE — The 2012 water year for the Sierra Nevada won't officially end until Sept. 30, but for all intents and purposes our lackluster winter is over. It should be no surprise by now that precipitation last season was significantly below normal. Despite an impressive battery of storms in March that dumped up to 9 feet of snow on Tahoe resorts, followed by a wet April, it would have taken something closer to the "Miracle March" of 1991 to raise this year's disappointing snowpack values to near normal.
The final snow survey of the season indicated an anemic snowpack averaging about 40 percent of normal for early May, varying from 77 percent in the north, 35 percent in the central region, all the way to 20 percent in the Southern Sierra. The recent measurements were in stark contrast to 2011 when the Sierra was still buried under a snowpack 190 percent of normal on May 1. Fortunately, that huge, late season snowpack a year ago will help mitigate this year's paltry water supply because California's major reservoirs are close to or exceeding capacity. With the crucial exception of certain farming districts, no water restrictions are anticipated for the 25 million Californians who rely on the Sierra snowmelt. Locally, reservoir storage in the Truckee River Basin stood at 128 percent of average on May 1.
Ironically, a little more than one year after California Governor Jerry Brown declared the end of a three-year drought in March 2011, the state's driest winter in 50 or 60 years has desiccated the landscape and more than 60 percent of the Golden State is back to abnormally dry or severe drought status. And it wasn't just the West Coast that suffered last winter. The United States ski industry was seriously impacted in 2011 by lack of snow combined with one of the mildest seasons on record that hampered snowmaking. At Lake Tahoe, skier visits at Northstar and Heavenly were down 24 percent compared to 2011. Skiing conditions were fine in March and April, but the magic came too late to save a busted season. A lack of snow during the all-important New Year holidays and negative publicity about Tahoe conditions took its toll. With such a poor start, there was no way regional resorts would be able to compete with the epic 2011 winter, in my opinion the most hyped ski season in modern times.
At the Central Sierra Snow Laboratory, station manager Randall Osterhuber reported that as of May 3, 322 inches of snow had been measured so far. That total of 26.8 feet puts winter 2012 at the 50th least snowiest in 66 years of record keeping. Precipitation-wise, the 42-plus inches of rain and melted snowfall rank 2012 as the 55th driest since 1946. Not too bad when you consider that at the beginning of March, 2012 was among the top 10 driest seasons in well over a century. After such a bad start, last winter could have turned out much worse.
Looking ahead to next ski season, the La Nina conditions of 2011 and 2012 have dissipated and transitioned to ENSO-neutral conditions (El Nino Southern Oscillation). Other than possible temperature anomalies, ENSO conditions in the Pacific Ocean usually have little effect during the dry summer months from May into October. In their latest diagnostic discussion released May 3, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center stated that La Nina conditions are unlikely to re-develop later this year, and that half their computer models predict the onset of El Nino and warming sea surface temperatures this summer.
Moving forward into the 2013 ski season, however, NOAA's latest ENSO update indicated there is considerable forecast uncertainty due to their inability to predict "whether warmer sea surface temperatures (SST) will result in the ocean-atmosphere coupling required for a sustained El Nino event." In other words, will the warmer ocean temperatures expected this upcoming winter translate into an enhanced, moisture-laden subtropical jet stream often associated with El Nino conditions? That classic El Nino-influenced storm pattern tends to soak Southern California and the Desert Southwest. Historically, El Nino events trend wetter than normal in the Central Sierra, a plus for Tahoe resorts.
Five of the past seven Sierra winters have been under the influence of La Nina, conditions that often bring a drier and warmer winter to Southern California. That temperature/precipitation signal is less pronounced in Northern California. (The epic winter of 2011 was a major exception to that trend up and down the state.) NOAA can't predict what's in store for 2013, but regardless of whether ENSO conditions are positive, negative or neutral next winter, even a normal season of precipitation will be better than last year and should offer plenty of white stuff for locals and visitors alike.
