Antrim leaked six goals for the second week running as Waterford eased to victory in new manager Davy Fitzgerald's first game in charge.
Eoin Kelly (2-03) and John Mullane (2-02) notched two goals apiece in the first half at Walsh Park, with the impressive Eoin McGrath setting up two of them, as the Deise claimed a 4-06 to 0-10 half-time lead.
Paul Shiels' accuracy from frees kept Antrim competitive but the hosts pulled away with Stephen Molumphy and Gary Hurney adding further goals.
This All-Ireland second round qualifier win, which gets Waterford back on track after their Munster loss to Clare, puts them through to face the winners of Cork/Dublin or Limerick/Offaly in two weeks' time.
Fitzgerald was able to draft three All Star winners into his team for this afternoon's clash. Eoin Murphy, Ken McGrath and Eoin Kelly all returned after missing the Clare game, while another All Star, Paul Flynn, took his place on the bench.
The home side lined out as selected, with regular centre-back Ken McGrath tried out at full-back, while Antrim made a few late changes, bringing in PJ O'Connell, Shane McNaughton and Brendan Quinn.
The Saffrons, who suffered a 26-point defeat to Galway seven days ago, travelled down from the north yesterday, staying in Kilkenny overnight.
Joint-managers Dominic McKinley and Terence 'Sambo' McNaughton had their charges primed for a good start and they did so, backed by a strong wind.
With the overnight rain, underfoot conditions were particularly slippery and perhaps played into the visitors' hands in the first half as Dave Bennett uncharacteristically missed a number of frees from midfield.
Antrim took a 0-02 to 0-00 lead with Paul Shiels and Michael Herron both firing over, the latter after a slip by full-back McGrath.
But after two misses by Bennett, normal service was resumed in the fifth-minute when Gary Hurney, Bennett and Eoin McGrath linked up before Kelly was played in for a fine fifth-minute goal.
Antrim were not deterred and after a Michael Herron had been blocked, Shiels mopped up with the levelling point.
Waterford began to show glimpses of their quality as Michael 'Brick' Walsh improvised by kicking the sliotar forward for Eoin McGrath to race onto and flick over a point.
Overs from Shiels (free) and PJ O'Connell saw Antrim retake the lead at 0-05 to 1-01 but the Deise, and in particular Dan Shanahan, began to up the tempo.
The Lismore clubman flung over a point to tie up the game and put in some beefy challenges as the Waterford attack began to dominate their opponents.
All was not rosy for Fitzgerald though as Waterford had struck five wides - four from placed balls - by the midpoint of the half.
Soon after, John Mullane smashed home his first goal, beating Ryan McGarry from a tight angle after good approach work from Ken and Eoin McGrath, who did well again to beat his marker.
A typical catch, turn and strike followed from Shanahan who had to settle for a point, but Antrim stuck to their task with Shiels angling over a point after taking a diagonal ball from Karl Stewart and Shane McNaughton, son of the manager, also added his name to the scoresheet.
However, despite further points from Shiels and Ciaran Herron before the break, Antrim's full-back line was badly exposed in the half's closing stages with Mullane and Kelly collecting more goals.
Mullane hit a quick 1-01 in the 24th-minute when Eoin McGrath set up his point and a Gary Hurney hand-pass put the De La Salle sharpshooter through for a well-taken goal.
Hurney was causing problems for his marker Karl McKeegan and the Antrim rearguard struggled throughout to keep tabs on Eoin McGrath, who hit three first half points.
On as a blood substitute, Paul Flynn pointed with his first touch and as the rain began to dour down, Antrim's day darkened when, three minutes before the interval, Kelly buried his second goal after selling a dummy to Cormac Donnelly.
Waterford almost nabbed a fifth goal before the break but Ryan McGarry did well to parry Mullane's stinging shot after a lovely flick through from Kelly.
Eight points down at the turnaround, Antrim needed a solid start to the second period but Waterford were able to pile on the pressure with a flurry of scores.
They moved 4-14 to 0-12 ahead before Molumphy rattled the back of the visitors' net in the 50th minute.
Early points from Shiels and Stewart were swamped by efforts from Shanahan, Eoin McGrath, Bennett, Kelly and Mullane.
The goal, again created by Eoin McGrath, saw Molumphy bravely catch a high ball and stick a placed finish past the stranded McGarry.
The game became looser and looser after that, with the Munster men comfortably seeing out what was an expected win.
The sixth major followed just moments later when dual player Hurney showed off his footballing skills before re-gathering the ball and knocking it beyond the reach of McGarry.
That strike had Fitzgerald's men 6-14 to 0-14 ahead and the game was well and truly over as a contest.
The highlight of the closing minutes was the two-point contribution of Waterford substitute Jamie Nagle, while Antrim man O'Connell deservedly got his second point of the game.
So, a pleasing performance for Fitzgerald and his management team, but the Clare native was quick to point out that his side will face 'a savage test the next day', whoever they face.
For Antrim, they will have to rally themselves quickly again as they will face Laois in a relegation play-off in two weeks' time.
The losers of that play-off game will take on the winners of the Christy Ring Cup to decide who qualifies for the Liam MacCarthy Cup competition in 2009.

Catholic Youth Association of Quincy was
established in compliance with the will of
Elizabeth Oenning, a member of St. Boniface
Parish, who died on March 5, 1929. Her will left
the remainder of her estate to a corporation of
Roman Catholic of Quincy that could be organized
within ten years after her death. One of the
objectives of this corporation was to erect and
maintain a building in Quincy to be used for the
physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual
welfare of the youth of Quincy. In March of
1933, the Catholic Youth Association (CYA) was
incorporated according to the State of Illinois
laws and a Board of Directors was appointed.

scholarship, leadership and citizenship. This
award acknowledges students who pursue
excellence in their tasks and develops a

parish leagues for young men and women. He had
taught physical education at the high school and
grade school levels.

The Obama Administration has determined that part of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), passed by Congress and signed into law by Bill Clinton, is unconstitutional and they will no lobger defend the law in court proceedings.
This puts the administration on a collision course with the USCCB to be sure, and just so, I fail to see the political benefit in this move for the administration. The USCCB has declined to join the effort to repeal the health care reform law and it gave a mixed verdict on the new conscience regulations. Of course, the move will help with fundraising in liberal circles, which is a prime concern. And, in the strange world of liberal jurisprudence these days, I suppose the determination that DOMA is unconstitutional makes sense. But, why not wait until the courts sort it out?
The issue of gay marriage is a conundrum for all politicians. Usually, conservatives prefer states to take the lead in setting social policy, not the federal government, but conservatives have embraced DOMA. Liberals, of course, have, or should have, a difficult time defending the proposition that a president, any president, can choose which laws to defend and which to ignore.
One thing is sure - the blogosphere will be lit up like a Christmas tree on this one.

- Draft of Manatee ordinance to regulate fertilizer use (PDF - 482kb)
Manatee County plans to restrict fertilizer use
Published: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 11:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 11:53 a.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - Manatee County Commissioners plan to approve an ordinance to regulate fertilizer use at a meeting this afternoon so the code can be grandfathered in when the state takes over regulation in July.
The fertilizer ordinance is intended to cut the amount of nitrogen runoff into estuaries, bays and other waterways.
The proposed code is similar to one Sarasota County passed in 2007. Sarasota County's code will also be grandfathered in when state laws take effect.
The nutrients found to pollute water sources are commonly found in fertilizer used for turf and landscaping.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has reported some water bodies in Manatee County are "impaired" by those excess nutrients.
Commissioners say the county ordinance will be stricter than the state rules will allow and, therefore, will do a better job at limiting water pollution and reducing the public resources spent on water quality improvement projects.
The 1:45 p.m. meeting will be held in commission chambers at the Manatee Administration Building, 1112 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.

Their web site does not have this information on it so I emailed the company and they responded immediately. They have released this list to the press so you might see it on the news. Of course I have one of the dips, which we never usually buy as it goes to waste around here but we are having company tomorrow and that's the only reason I bought it. Now I have to return it to the store.
Make sure you check the codes and dates, don't just go by the product name. Mine says Creamy Clam Dip which isn't exactly what's on the list but the code and date matches so back it goes.

AbstractAs components of the innate immune system, antimicrobial peptides in the form of human defensins play an important role in host defense by serving as the epithelial layer's biochemical barrier against local infections. Recent studies have shown these molecules to have far more additional cellular functions besides their antimicrobial activity. Defensins play a role in cell division, attraction and maturation of immune cells, differentiation and reorganization of epithelial tissues, wound healing and tumor suppression. This multitude of function makes human defensins appear to be excellent tools for therapeutic approaches. These antimicrobial peptides may be used directly as a remedy against bacterial and viral infections. Furthermore, the application of human defensins can be used to promote wound healing and epithelial reorganization. In particular, human β-defensins have a strong impact on osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Human β-defensins have already been applied as a vaccination against HIV-1. Another potentially useful characteristic of defensins is their suitability as diagnostic markers in cancer therapy. In particular, α-defensins have already been used for this purpose. Human α-defensin-3, for example, has been described as a tumor marker for lymphocytes. High gene expression levels of α-defensin-3 and -4 have been detected in benign oral neoplasia, α-defensin-6 is considered to be a tumor marker for colon cancer.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Speaker John Boehner says that when Congress raises the nation's borrowing cap he will again insist on spending cuts and budget reforms to offset the increase.
The Ohio Republican took the same stance a year ago during last summer's debt battle. That measure produced a 10-year, $2 trillion-plus package of spending cuts. But with the failure of the so-called deficit supercommittee to reach a deal, automatic spending cuts are set to hit the Pentagon and other Cabinet agencies next year.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner says the government will hit its borrowing cap late this year but that Treasury can use accounting maneuvers to buy time for the newly elected Congress to deal with the issue early next year.

NOTES & QUOTES: Grand Prix of Baltimore Presented by SRT
• Mike Conway on the Baltimore street course: "Baltimore is a good track but it's probably the most physically demanding one on the circuit because it's really bumpy and there are so many corners, plus it's fairly long for a street circuit. [At 2.04 miles, Baltimore is the third longest of the seven temporary circuits -- only Sao Paulo (2.5 mi) and Detroit (2.07 mi) are longer.] Last year there were exposed railroad ties and makeshift curbs that were put in on the race weekend but I expect it will be better this year because they've made a few changes to the circuit. I enjoy the challenge of a new circuit, getting to learn it as quick as possible and finding out the tricks of the place -- like where you can make up time. Street courses in general are always fun because the cities are pretty cool. The Baltimore circuit has a stretch where you can actually smell the food from the food stores and restaurants just before the right hander that leads onto that long main straightaway. Makes me hungry when I go through there—not really. It's funny that you notice those things while driving a race car at speed."
• Conway on coming back from a frustrating weekend: "Sonoma was definitely frustrating because we really wanted to do well there and going into the weekend, we thought we had a good shot at it but it just wasn't to be. We just have to work harder, iron out all the little issues we had and come back quicker. Mentally, you put it behind you and get on with the next one."
• Grid Penalty: AJ Foyt Racing had to change their Honda engine after the Sonoma race because the engine was well over the 1850-mile mark (the minimum for an allowed engine change). However, because it will be the sixth engine installed which exceeds the five engine limit allowed for the season, the car will incur a 10-spot grid penalty at Baltimore this weekend. It will be the second grid penalty of the year for the team with the first one occurring at Texas Motor Speedway (Conway qualified eighth, started 18th and finished 16th due to aero issues on the car).
• Ryan Homes will be an associate sponsor on the No. 14 for this race. Ryan Homes is one of the nation's top five home builders, building new homes in 27 markets in 15 states and the District of Columbia. Established in 1948, the company has built well over 300,000 homes in the past 64 years. Ryan Homes is a member of the NVR family, a distinguished group that also includes NVHomes, Fox Ridge Homes, and NVR Mortgage.
• ABC Supply roofing customer Auletto's Roofing & Siding, located in Cherry Hill, N.J., won the 'Your Name Here' contest for this weekend's race. The company name will be atop the sidepods of the No. 14 ABC Supply Dallara/Honda. Owner William Auletto and a guest will receive selected merchandise, race tickets, hospitality and garage passes, plus a Meet and Greet with A.J. Foyt and Mike Conway. The "Your Name Here" promotion selected winners by random drawing from a pool of entries sent in by ABC Supply customers earlier this year.
• Clarence "Chubby" Comer, of Washington, D.C. will be the ABC Supply Honorary Crew Member of the race this weekend. An employee with ABC Supply for two years, Comer works inside sales in the Hyattsville, Md. branch. This event will be Comer's first visit to an IndyCar race.
• Performance at inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix: Mike Conway qualified seventh last year but a broken suspension put him out after 64 laps so he placed 23rd. AJ Foyt Racing started 12th (with Vitor Meira) and finished ninth.
• ABC Supply will entertain over 700 guests at the Grand Prix this weekend! The regional team rented out the local Hooters Restaurant where the servers will work two seatings to accommodate all of the ABC Supply guests. Since the company began sponsoring AJ Foyt Racing in 2005, they have entertained well over 40,000 employees, private contractors and vendors.
• The Grand Prix of Baltimore will be shown live starting at 2:00 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 2 on the NBC Sports Network.

RSJ won't see your CDRom without it being told to do so everytime you
want to use it. In short, you have to tell OS/2 to "attach" or
recognize the CD to a particular drive letter. You can do it two ways:
Probably the easiest way is to open the RSU CD Writer folder. Inside
you'll see icons for "CD Cover" "CD View" "CD Writer" "CopyWizard" and
"RSJ CD Boot".
Click on the "CD Writer" icon and a "Properties" type menu with colored
tabs appears. Stay with the blue "General" tab. Under Drive Letter
you'll see the drive letter the system has assigned to it. Click on the
"Attach now" button. Another pop up menu identified as "Attach
recorder - X: (the X being what ever drive is assigned). Click OK
(Make sure you have a CD in the CDRom, blank or with data on it, or an
error pops up saying the drive is not ready.) Once the menu disappears
your drive is not "mounted" or "attached" and ready for use.
The other option is to jump to an OS/2 command prompt and simply type at
the prompt: cdattach z:
The CDRom will be assigned to the last drive letter Z. Again, make sure
you have a CD in the drive before you attach it.
Now you can read a CD with data on it, like music or software or files
or movies... or, if blank, you can copy files to it. Once the files are
copied over, you can then finalize the CD.
That can be done two ways: from the same Properties Menu above you'll
see a "finalize" button. Click on it and the CD will be finalized.
You can do it from the same command line by simply typing at the prompt:
cdattach z: -x
The CD will be finalized and will pop out of the CDRom.
When that happens you have to go back through the same steps above to
"attach" (also known as "mount") the CDRom. Put a CD
in the CDRoom and attach the CDRom using the Properties menu attach
button or from the command line (cdattach z: or s: or u: whatever drive
is free...).

There's a cold front making its way through North Texas right about now — maybe you've noticed the partly gloomy skies overhead. It's certainly not a cold cold front, and when clouds disappear between now and the afternoon expect temperatures to get climb back to near 70, not too far from yesterday's high of 72 at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. It may be "chilly" tonight, with lows dipping into the 40s.
And so it'll go throughout the week, says Dennis Cavanaugh, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Fort Worth: Upper-level systems will come and go, bringing with them the vague chance of rain and slight cool-downs that will keep daytime highs around 70, maybe a few degrees higher. But don't expect Tuesday night's front to bring much rain — unless you're around Waco, let's say.
But look further away — to Thursday, and to an upper-level system cooking off the West Coast.
"The timing may change as it moves on shore, but for now it looks like we've got 20 to 30 percent chance of storms Thursday afternoon, and it depends how it evolves," says Cavanaugh. "We may still have a chance of storms Friday, if the front lingers off to our northwest." Still, it's not nearly the kind of rain we need heading into the warm-weather months.
"We're actually not that far from normal" annual rainfall through mid-March, says Cavanaugh, but there's not much safe-bet rain on the horizon. "And how spring evolves will be telling when it comes to water restrictions in the summer."
One thing that does look likely: a cooler-than-normal weekend that could see freezing temperatures return to North Texas, especially the outlying areas.
"That's all dependent on the jet stream," says Cavanaugh. "It'll dig south no matter what but, if it's west we'll get really cold, and if it stays east we'll stay where we are. Right now the jet stream almost looks like it's right on top of us, so we're going more with the cooler side of possibilities — which is why we're going with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s."
Our average last freeze was, oh, about a week ago, Cavanaugh says. But we've seen sub-32-degree temperatures into April, he say, "so it's not completely out of the ordinary."

Next Week's Tape: Earnings, Housing, and Bernanke, Too
Next week's barrage of economic reports offers a first peek at activity in the second half of the year, marked with expectations of baby steps forward and a housing market in recovery mode.
They may get lost in the barrage of earnings reports, however. The next two weeks comprise the bulk of earnings season. Next week will be dominated by banks like Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and Fifth Third, but will also feature a heavy dose of tech companies. Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel, and AMD all report earnings as well.
Oh, and Ben Bernanke goes to Capitol Hill.
Next week's data reports are heavy on the housing front. Despite cheap mortgages, high unemployment and deleveraging efforts have held the housing industry back since the financial crisis. But the long-depressed area of the economy has seen some light of late, and economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires see a continuation of that turn in the market.
Economists see the National Association of Home Builders index, out Tuesday, ticking up to 30 in July from 29 last month. This is followed by housing starts Wednesday, expected to jump to 745,000 in June from 708,000. Sales of existing homes, due Thursday, are seen increasing to 4.65 million.
Regional reads on manufacturing activity and economic conditions are also expected to improve, though slightly. The New York Federal Reserve's Empire State survey is out Monday, expected at 5.0 this month, from 2.29 in June. Thursday's Philadelphia Fed survey is at a less-dismal -10.0, from -16.6.
A summary of conditions will be revealed in the central bank's monthly Beige Book, out Wednesday at 2 p.m. EDT.
Accompanying this heavy slate of economic indicators, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke makes his semi-annual congressional testimony on monetary policy and economic outlook Tuesday and Wednesday. Given the discouraging economic signals in the past few weeks, the chairman's remarks will be parsed for any signs of increased willingness to deliver more cheap-money stimulus.
Signs of inflation have been contained, giving the Fed room to conduct more easing. Economists expect consumer prices to have stayed in check last month, seeing the headline index up 0.1% and core prices that exclude food and energy costs up 0.2%.
Here's your handy, clip-and-save data calendar:
July New York Fed Empire State survey (8:30): seen inching ahead to 5, from 2.29 in June
June retail sales (8:30): seen rising 0.2%, after falling 0.2% in June
May business inventories (10:00): seen rising 0.2%, after rising 0.4% in April
Citigroup, J.B. Hunt, Brown & Brown, Cintas, Gannett
June consumer prices (8:30): seen rising 0.1% after falling 0.3% in May; core seen up 0.2%
June industrial production (9:15): seen rising 0.4%, after falling 0.1% in May
June capacity utilization (9:15): seen rising to 79.2% from 79.0% in May
July NAHB housing market index (10:00): seen rising to 30 from 29 in June
Coca-Cola, Yahoo, Goldman Sachs, Intel, State Street, TD Ameritrade, Johnson & Johnson, CSX, Comerica, Heartland Express, Mattel
June housing starts (8:30): seen rising by 5.2%, after falling 4.8% in May
June building permits (8:30): seen falling 1.1%, after rising 8.4% in May
IBM, Bank of America, eBay, Qualcomm, Blackrock, Honeywell, U.S. Bancorp, Yum Brands, Delta Air, Abbott Labs, Bank of New York,
Weekly jobless claims (8:30): seen rising by 20,000, to 370,000, from 350,000
June existing home sales (10:00): seen rising 2.2%, after falling 1.5% in May
July Philadelphia Fed manufacturing survey(10:00): seen narrowing to -10.0 from -16.6 in June
June Leading Index (10:00): seen falling 0.1%, after rising 0.3% in May

Tuesday January 8, 2013
COLUMBIA, S.C. (January 8, 2013) – The University of South Carolina football finished the 2012 season as the highest ranked squad in school history, it was announced today. The Gamecocks finished eighth in the final Associated Press poll and seventh in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches poll, both one spot higher than in 2011.
"I'm very proud of our team and what we accomplished this season," said head coach Steve Spurrier. "We are obviously thrilled to be ranked one spot better than we were last year and the highest in school history. Much of the credit goes to our seniors, especially the leadership provided by our captains - D.J. Swearinger, T.J. Johnson, Justice Cunningham and Shaq Wilson - which was instrumental in our success. We lose a lot of outstanding players but have a good nucleus returning for next season," continued the Head Ball Coach. "Our goals will be just as high. Our No. 1 goal is to win the SEC Championship and we'll try to accomplish that next season."
The Gamecocks finished the season with an 11-2 record following a 33-28 win over Michigan in the Outback Bowl on January 1, and have posted a school-record 11 wins in each of the past two seasons. Carolina has recorded the most wins in two- (22), three- (31) and four- (38) consecutive seasons in school history. In addition, the Gamecocks have been ranked among the nation's top-25 for 47 consecutive polls, the most in school history and tied for the fifth-longest current streak in the nation.

1.) It'd hold more to the argument if we got some actual numbers as to how much upgraded / replaced parts for PC's cost on average, THEN we could tell which is REALLY more cost-efficient.
2.) Yeah, I mean, if you're a 'Hardcore' console gamer with a 100+ game collection, console mods, and tons of accessories (custom headsets / controllers / cases), we'd be saying the same thing.
3.) I'm not sure I know when they stopped / started including HDMI cables with the xbox, apart from when I got mine, which did come with them.
4.) I'll give you that, but the post still insinuates that console parts giving out is an absolute, which is what I was pointing out in the first place.
5.) That's just it though BF3 was built for the PC, which is a real slippery slope when it comes to power, like, PC's have a way wider range of power than the consoles, but that also means there's an indeterminate group of PC's below the console margin too.
The way I see it, they're both expensive hobbies, sometimes the only thing that matters when choosing is whichever you happen to pick up first, I have nothing but respect for the PC gaming community, but when it comes to gaming, console's haven't steered me wrong thus far. Except maybe the Xbox One. eeugh..

Dry mouth during public speaking
SUMMARY: Public speaking can be a doozy for your mouth, since all that jibber jabber dries out salivary glands. Read how to prevent dry mouth when in the spotlight.
Posted: April 28, 2014
Gazing out in front of a large audience before making a speech can be a stressful moment for many people. If you feel that sort of anxiety that is often accompanied by dry mouth, shaky hands and a quickened heart rate, you're not alone. Public speaking is one of the most common anxieties reported by adults, and dry mouth is part of the many fight-or-flight stress symptoms well-known to public orators.
The best solution: Hydrate. Keep a bottle of water on the podium, and take sips to wet your mouth and kick-start your salivary glands. There's nothing unprofessional about hydrating during a speech - politicians, celebrities and other performers do it all the time. The key is to do it at the right time. Pace your quenching when the spotlight is not on you, as constant slurping can be a distraction for audience members. Sip when an attendee is asking a question or a presentation slide is being shown. Incorporate breaks into your presentation when writing it.
Chances are you're much more aware of your oral desert than anyone you're addressing. Unless it's affecting your pronunciation of words, people won't care if there's a tumbleweed or monsoon blowing in there. Take a deep breath, relax and know you're going to do great. For those whose lips dry out during a speech, it's not a bad idea to use some moisturizing lip balm beforehand.
April showers
While all of this advice is true year-round, it's especially relevant during the month of April, which is National Poetry Month. When reciting Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" or Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken," the last thing you want to happen is for your word-well to run dry. Neither road can be taken when the character can't travel off the lips of the speaker, so keep your mouth from being as parched as the parchment. Try drinking some water, swishing olive oil in the mouth before the speech - which leaves a protective coating on the tongue and back of throat to trap in moisture - or drink some citrus juice, which helps break down mucus that makes swallowing a challenge.
Some speakers, whether poets or actors, may prefer intimate settings, using the shock appeal of quick emphatic approaches to audience members. Yet dry mouth often comes with bad breath, and getting too close with halitosis can be almost as awful as burning books to literary fans.
From April through the rest of the year, use these tricks to jump the hurdle of public speaking.

USVAA's endorsements of political candidates, votes and propositions are limited to issues that affect veterans and the arts. Our board members and the artists associated with USVAA are a diverse group that reflects the wide variety of beliefs held among veterans. Their individual opinions and/or political activities should not be construed as reflecting positions held by USVAA.
United States Veterans' Artists Alliance (USVAA) is a 501 (c) 3, non-profit, multi-disciplinary arts organization. Founded in 2004 by military veterans and artists, USVAA provides opportunities for veterans in the arts by networking with veterans, artists, supportive individuals and organizations within the arts and veterans' communities to find funding and support for individual artistic projects in theater, film, television and the visual/fine arts and a wide variety of crafts.
In addition to our work with veterans and artists, we strive -- as spokespersons in the veteran's community and in our endeavors as artists -- to highlight issues of concern to veterans and their families. These issues include the transition from military to civilian life, education, employment, the effects of wartime and military service injuries such as PTSD, TBI and Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and homelessness among veterans.
The last and equally important component of our mission is to honor those veterans of all eras who have distinguished themselves in the arts and humanities. These individuals include, Edgar Allan Poe, Julia Child, Sam Maloof, H.C. Westermann, Lou Rawls, Irving Berlin, Abraham Lincoln, Kurt Vonnegut, James Earl Jones and many, many, others. These individuals inspire us and it is in their spirit that we are able to persevere in our work with the next generation of great American artists.

AMES, Iowa - A former car dealership will be come a new motorcycle dealership when Des Moines-based Fenders Cycle and Motorsport opens a second store in the next couple of months.
Fenders Cycle of Ames Honda will be a full-service dealership with ATVs, mopeds and full-sized motorcycles, co-owner Joe Klootwyk told the Ames Tribune. It hopes to begin doing business in town by September.
"Ames is a growing city, a college town," Klootwyk said. "We saw it as a pretty big opportunity, to be able to get into the Ames market and open a new store to help us grow."
Stocking mopeds and motorcycles caters to the student population, while ATVs will appeal to more agricultural customers.
"We have a lot of customers that come to our store here in Des Moines from Ames, so it will be easier for us to service those customers," Klootwyk said.
Fenders will likely hold a grand opening event within a month or two of opening in Ames, he said.
Fenders is also relocating in Des Moines, from 1109 E. Army Post Road to a larger building about half a mile to its east on the same street. Klootwyk said that store will likely open in late August or September.

Most pregnant women know that what they put (or don't put) in their bodies is important to the well-being of their growing baby, whether it's the right kind of protein, too much caffeine, or certain types of fish. But many pregnant women might not know that what they put on their bodies is just as important.
Most of us slather on oceans of lotions every day, but we don't think about what might be passing the skin barrier and being absorbed into our bodies. With a developing baby in your belly, this is a vital concern.
"Everything you eat, apply, or come into contact with may affect not only you but also your baby," says Sandra Marchese Johnson, a dermatologist with Johnson Dermatology in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
"Because some topical ingredients get absorbed into the bloodstream, there are some you want to avoid," adds Leslie Baumann, a professor of dermatology at the University of Miami and author of The Skin Type Solution (Bantam, 2006).
The more powerful and targeted products get, the more we need to be careful about what we have in our skin-care regimens during pregnancy. While most commonly used products are completely safe, there's a handful of ingredients considered potentially harmful to a growing baby. Below, see our guide to what to look for when shopping the beauty aisle.
If you plan to breastfeed, adds Johnson, continue following the guidelines noted below until you stop nursing.
These powerful substances, found in some antiaging moisturizers, are lauded for helping reduce wrinkles and improve skin tone. Retinoids are a type of vitamin A that speeds up cell division (quickening your skin's renewal) and prevent skin collagen from breaking down.
But retinoids are one of the skin-care ingredients that experts, including Baumann, recommend that expectant moms stay away from. Some studies have shown that high doses of vitamin A during pregnancy can be harmful to an unborn child. And oral retinoids, such as isotretinoin (Accutane, an acne treatment), are known to cause birth defects.
If you've been using a skin cream that contains a retinoid, don't panic. Retinoids have not been shown to cause problems in their topical form in pregnant women.
"There is no data to show these retinoids ingredients are harmful when used on the skin — doctors are just being extra cautious," explains Baumann.
On the label:
Differin (adapelene)
Retin-A, Renova (tretinoin)
Retinoic acid
Retinyl linoleate
Retinyl palmitate
Tazorac and avage (Tazarotene)
Bottom line:
Best to avoid
Salicylic acid
This mild acid is used to treat certain skin disorders, including acne, and you can find it in a number of skin products, such as cleansers and toners. It can penetrate facial oils to get deep into pores and clean out dead skin cells. Salicylic acid is in the aspirin family, so it can also help reduce inflammation or redness. BHA, or beta hydroxy acid, is a form of salicylic acid and is used in some topical exfoliants to reverse signs of aging.
But salicylic acid is another no-no for pregnant women. High doses of the acid in its oral form have been shown in studies to cause birth defects and various pregnancy complications.
Again, doctors are being cautious by recommending that pregnant women avoid the topical use of salicylic acid. Small amounts applied to the skin — such as a salicylic acid-containing toner used once or twice a day — are considered safe, says Johnson.
But the concern is stronger about face and body peels containing salicylic acid. "This kind of 'soaking' in the ingredient is similar to taking one or more aspirin when pregnant," she explains.
"More product used equals more absorption into the bloodstream," adds Baumann. Always check with your doctor before having a peel treatment. Better yet, she advises, if you must have a peel, have it done professionally at your dermatologist's office. A dermatologist will know how to do it safely during pregnancy.
On the label:
Salicylic acid
Beta hydroxy acid
Note: Alpha hydroxy acids, sometimes listed as AHAs, glycolic acid, or lactic acid, are safe.
Bottom line:
Best to avoid
Some moms-to-be seek out natural ingredients such as soy in their skin-care products, thinking that they're free from harmful effects. But that's not necessarily the case, says Baumann.
While soy-based lotions and facial products are generally safe to use, "Soy can make the 'mask of pregnancy' (dark splotches on facial skin) worse, as can oil of bergamot, which is in many organic products," she says.
Soy has estrogenic effects, which can make those dark patches, also known as melasma or chloasma, worse, Baumann explains. "The 'active soy' found in some product lines is okay, however, because the estrogenic components have been taken out."
On the label:
Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
Bottom line:
If you have dark skin or melasma, avoid these products, or choose 'active soy' products instead. Otherwise it's safe to use.
Acne products
Many women have breakouts in the first trimester because of changing estrogen levels, even if they've always had clear skin. If you're dealing with pregnancy-induced acne, a dermatologist can likely give you a safe topical antibiotic, advises Baumann. You can find a dermatologist in your area through your health insurance company or at the American Academy of Dermatology Web site.
But if you prefer to avoid yet another doctor appointment, Baumann recommends using a facial wash that contains no more than 2 percent salicylic acid (look for the percentage on the product label). This small amount is considered safe.
If you want to be doubly sure, ask your obstetrician or midwife before use. As for what to avoid when it comes to treating acne, stay away from leave-on acne lotions, gels, and creams, as well as at-home peels, which can contain salicylic acid or retinoids, says Baumann. And, of course, steer clear of the oral form of the retinoid Accutane.
On the label:
Beta hydroxy acid
Differin (adapelene)
Retin-A, Renova (tretinoin)
Retinoic acid
Retinyl linoleate
Retinyl palmitate
Salicylic acid
Tazorac and avage (Tazarotene)
Note: Glycolic acid is an AHA, and safe to use.
Bottom line:
Consult your dermatologist, or use mild over-the-counter cleansers only.
Hair removers & minimizers
Lotions that remove your hair chemically (depilatories) or that minimize hair between shaves sound like a dream come true when you can barely reach — not to mention see — your legs. The good news is that these products are considered risk-free.
"There are no specific ingredients to avoid when it comes to these types of products," says Baumann. "The only risk is an allergy."
Catherine Lynch, director of the division of general obstetrics and gynecology at the University of South Florida, says, "As long as you use [chemical hair removers] as directed, they shouldn't be a problem. It's a topical solution that isn't absorbed into your bloodstream, so it can't have any effect on the baby."
If you've had an allergic skin reaction to hair minimizers or removal creams in the past, then you should avoid these products during pregnancy as well.
Also, some women's skin gets extra sensitive during pregnancy, so you may have a reaction to these ingredients even if you haven't before. Before slathering your whole leg, do a patch test on a small piece of skin behind your knee and wait 24 hours to see if you react.
On the label:
Potassium Thioglycolate (depilatory)
Calcium Thioglycolate (depilatory)
Sodium Hydroxide (minimizer)
Sanguisorba Officinalis Root Extract (minimizer)
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein (minimizer)
Bottom line:
Safe to use
Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can't hit the beach. In fact, feeling the sand between your toes and that warm breeze in your hair may provide that perfect "relaxation point" your Lamaze instructor has been talking about. And as your mom always told you: Don't forget the sunscreen.
Sunscreens, including those with ingredients that penetrate the skin, are perfectly safe when you've got your own bun in the oven, says Baumann.
"[Ingredients] that do go deep into the skin do so in such small concentrations" that they're not worth worrying about, says Johnson. "I personally prefer titanium dioxide and zinc oxide — they are powerful physical sunscreens and do not penetrate the skin."
She adds, "In addition to sunscreen, we advise sun-smart behaviors — avoiding the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.; using a sun hat, sunglasses and sun-protective clothing; and reapplying your sunscreen every two hours."
And if you have melasma, adds Baumann, you can try a UV protector with a skin lightener.
On the label:
Titanium dioxide
Zinc oxide
Avobenzone (Parsol 1789)
Octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC)
Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA)
Bottom line:
Safe to use
You may not give a second thought to the kind of makeup you use, but even cosmetics are something to consider when pregnant, says dermatologist Johnson.
Many makeup products are marked "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic" — meaning they're oil-free and don't clog pores. These are safe and will not affect the health of your baby.
Avoid cosmetics that contain retinol or salicylic acid (found in some makeup for acne-prone skin).
If you want to be super careful during pregnancy, try some of the minerals-only makeup lines. These products use ingredients that primarily sit on top of the skin and don't cause irritation for most people.
On the label:
Differin (adapelene)
Retin-A, Renova (tretinoin)
Retinoic acid
Retinyl linoleate
Retinyl palmitate
Tazorac and avage (Tazarotene)
Bottom line:
Avoid cosmetics that contain retinoids or salicylic acids. Otherwise, safe to use.
The final word
When you're pregnant, Baumann says, it's important to discuss any product you use on your skin with your healthcare provider.
But if you realize you have used a product that contains one of the potentially harmful ingredients noted above, don't panic, says Johnson. Simply stop using the product now and pick one with known-to-be-safe ingredients.
"Most over-the-counter products by reputable brands are safe," she says. "And if you are applying these products to less than 10 percent of your total skin surface, the risks of systemic effects are very low."

- Posted July 17, 2009 by
- Looking4trth
Springerville, Arizona
This iReport is part of an assignment:
Sound off
Freedom of the Press??
"You have an incredible story!" This is what I was hounded with by Channel 12 in Phoenix. Veronica Sanchez to be more precise.
I had submitted my "story" to iReport and the Executive Producer of Channel 12 News had Ms. Sanchez contact me, and contact me she did; by email, land-line, and on my cell phone, numerous times. She really wanted to interview me for this story.
My "Story," in a nutshell; The Springerville Town officials had surfaced our road with carcinogenic toxins and we battled them for 3 years trying to get it cleaned up. During that process corruption, maleficense of office, abuse of power, and a plethora of other illegal activities was uncovered. The town officials began to harass and threaten me, so, I wrote a book about their corruption. When it was published I became the Town's target of immeasurable retaliations and threats, including, but not at all limited to the Arizona Dept. of Public Safety, all of which I had documented proof. This "proof" was provided to Ms. Sanchez.
While doing my interview, Ms. Sanchez was insensed at the "Journalistic irresponsibility" of the local newspapers for not telling the public about the corruption, etc.
Ms. Sanchez contacted Detective Mel Cody, AZ. DPS in Flagstaff, to interview him about the "bogus" investigation the Springerville Police had requested they do in Aug. 2008, involving charging me with 3 misdemeanors and a felony stalking charge against me, that too I had tape recorded. Det. Cody completely denied ever being at my house to do an interview. I played a portion of the recorded interview for Ms. Sanchez; the part where Det. Cody introduced himself to me when he arrived at my house on Aug. 29, 2008. Ms. Sanchez called Det. Cody back and informed him that she had heard him on the tape recorded interview. He responded with, "Yes, I know, it's all over the internet." He then went on to tell Ms. Sanchez that he had no memory of the interview. To listen to this interview, go to this site:
The day before my "Incredible story" was to air on Channel 12 news I received a call from Ms. Sanchez. Rather than take up space writing about it, you can go to the following link and listen to our conversation:
What a bunch of BS she fed me! When I watched the "story" she put together I was appalled, angry, disgusted, and very disappointed that the corruption I had lived, written a book about, and suffered the retaliations for was turned into a joke, with me being the punch line. What was it Sanchez said about "Journalistic Irresponsibility?" See for yourself:
This "story" didn't make a lick of sense and it certainly didn't tell the "Story!" I was embarassed with myself for thinking, and believing, that the truth would actually, and finally, be told.
Since this story aired the Towns' retaliations have increased exponentially, including heightened threats to my life. However, it was more important to be politically correct than to actually tell the truth about Springerville, AZ.
If you watch the Channel 12 video, the last thing Sanchez says is that the Springerville Town officials were considering filing a libel suit against me; for exercising my First Amendment Rights and writing a book. Not surprisingly, within a week after her comments, a counterclaim for libel was attached to a lawsuit I filed against two of the Town's puppets. How convenient was that? These two puppets were "characters" in my book.
You can read about the retaliations and threats on my blog:
There you have it! Freedom of the Press? Right, the freedom to twist an "Incredible story" into anything you want it to be and/or say, making a fool out of the innocent and giving the corrupt a pat on the back for a job well done.

Paying an average of $4,000 to $6,000 in "swipe fees" each month, Bob Byers, owner of Byers Exxon stations in Reno and Newport, said he's glad to see the federal government taking a look at credit and debit card fees.
As part of last year's financial overhaul bill, new rules are going into effect next month aimed at capping the amount of money banks and card companies charge businesses when customers pay with their cards.
Currently, the fees average about 44 cents per swipe but debit cards are expected to be limited to 12 cents per transaction starting July 21.

BRAD BAUER The Marietta Times
Nick Pugliese, manager of Tiber Way Grille and Country Store, 10 Tiber Way, Marietta, swipes a debit card Thursday at the business.
The Federal Reserve board is expected to meet next Wednesday to finalize the rule to limit the fees that can be charged.
"The fees are awful and just way too high," Byers said. "But you pay them because (having the ability to accept credit and debit cards) has become a necessary evil of doing business. We just couldn't do business without them anymore."
Byers said he tried to make up for some of the losses by charging card users a few cents extra for gasoline but discontinued the practice when pressed by officials at Exxon. Like many area businesses, he maintains a $5 minimum for purchases.
Fact Box
About "swipe fees":
Currently, the fees average about 44 cents per swipe, but debit cards are expected to be limited to 12 cents per transaction starting July 21.
The Federal Reserve board is expected to meet next Wednesday to finalize the rule to limit the fees that can be charged.
"On top of the percentage (banks and card companies) take, we're also charged 10-cents for each swipe," he said. "If you buy a $1 candy bar, I might make 10-cents. But what am I making after a 10-cent fee and 2.5 percent processing fee? Sometimes you have to really watch because the profit margins are so close that you end up with a break even, or a loss, because of the processing fees."
According to the Associated Press, merchants are currently paying banks and card companies $16 billion annually in swipe fees.
In response to the potential loss of debit card revenue, some banks have started increasing fees and minimum balance requirements for checking accounts. Also, some banks have announced they will cut back or eliminate debit card rewards programs.
Local bank officials did not return messages seeking comment on Thursday.
Nick Pugliese, general manager of Tiber Way Grille and Country Store, 10 Tiber Way, Marietta, said cash customers are his favorite but are becoming more and more scarce.
"Last year, about 35 percent of our business was debit and credit cards," he said. "This year, it's about 50 percent."
Pugliese said his contract with a card processing company is up next month -at about the same time the new rules are set to go into effect. He hopes it means better profit margins for his locally-owned business, he said.
"When we first started out on Muskingum Drive (about 15 years ago), we didn't accept credit cards," he said. "When we moved downtown, we realized we were losing a lot of business by not accepting them. You hope they pull out cash, it's the best way to do business, but if they don't, you take what you can."
Ben Hufford, 33, of Vienna, was doing business in downtown Marietta Thursday. He said before he ever enters a shop or restaurant, he looks for the credit card logos on the door.
"I never have cash," he said. "I just think it's easier to use plastic. I always have a record of my transactions and they're good almost everywhere."
Hufford said he isn't bothered by the potential loss of rewards programs. He said he would be annoyed if he was required to pay a fee for a checking account or had to keep a minimum balance.
"I think most people just expect free checking and those sorts of things," he said. "The rewards are nice but not really important."

Right Triangles and Trigonometry
Inverse Trig Ratios
If we have a right triangle, we only need two more pieces of information, and then we can calculate all the things.
- We need to know a side length. Doesn't matter if it's the hypotenuse or one of the legs. Any ol' side length will do.
- We need to know either another side length or one of the angle measurements. One that's not 90°, preferably.
Sample Problem
For example, we have this triangle. If we want to know the length of the hypotenuse, finding a good angle and trig ratio to use should do the trick.
Plug in what we know.
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode, and then fire that baby up.
Hypotenuse ≈ 61.7
Armed with that knowledge, we can calculate the other leg of the triangle using the cosine.
However, using the leg we already have would be more accurate, so we'll stick with that.
Once again, we'll need a calculator.
Adjacent ≈ 48.6
Yippee. We now have all the side lengths and two out of the three angles. We can use the side lengths to figure out the remaining angle. Cosine hasn't been used yet, and we don't want it to feel left out.
This time, we're looking for Y. The adjacent side we plug in has to be adjacent to the angle we're using.
cos Y = 0.616
Now what? Inverse cosine time.
That's right. Inverse cosine. If the cosine of B equals y, then the inverse cosine of y equals B. The same applies to sine and tangent, of course. These are called inverse trig functions, and they all look like this:
|Normal Trig Function
|Inverse Trig Function
|sin A = x
|sin-1(x) = A
|cos B = y
|cos-1(y) = B
|tan C = z
|tan-1(z) = C
The regular trig functions give us side lengths when we plug in an angle, so the inverse trig functions do the opposite: when we plug in a side length (like x, y, or z), we'll get an angle as our answer (A, B, or C).
Sometimes, these inverse trig functions are written with "arc" in front of their names. For instance, "sin-1(x)" turns into "arcsin(x)" and "cos-1(y)" becomes "arccos(y)." There's no difference. They mean the exact same thing.
Applying these inverse trig functions to our problem, if cos(Y) = 0.616, then cos-1(0.616) = Y. Surely our calculator can handle that. Again, make sure it's in degree mode.
cos-1(0.616) = Y
A quick way to double-check that answer would be to add up all the angles in the triangle. All the angles in any triangle should always add up to 180°. Always.
We know that right angle Z is 90°, and we're given that angle X is 38°. We just calculated angle Y as 52°. We'll plug them in and cross our fingers.
38° + 52° + 90° = 180°
180° = 180°
Yessireebob. We got all our angles and all our side lengths using trigonometry.
Sample Problem
Carl wants to relax in a hammock. Who doesn't, really? He's 6 feet away from one tree and 4 feet away from another. From where he's standing, he can see both trees are exactly 90° from each other. He wants us to find out the angles that the two trees make between each other and his own position. (Don't make him do it! He's on vacation!)
Relative to Tree A, we know the opposite and adjacent sides. If we're looking for trig ratios to use (which, hint-hint, we are), tangent would be a good choice.
Since we're looking for the angle, we should use the inverse tangent.
Relative to Tree A, the opposite side is 4 feet and the adjacent side is 6 feet.
Now for Tree B.
Notice that relative to Tree B, the sides are switched. The opposite side is now 6 feet, and the adjacent side is now 4 feet.
Carl appreciates our hard work, but he says that won't help much. He needs to know how long his hammock should be to hang it between the two trees. That means we need to figure out the distance between Tree A and Tree B.
We could use the Pythagorean Theorem, but why cramp our style? Trigonometry has served us well, so let's keep at it. We can use either the sine or cosine of either Tree A or B. Any one of those four should give us the same value for the hypotenuse.
Hypotenuse ≈ 7.2 feet
Carl's hammock should be at least 7.2 feet long. That's a nice, big hammock.
