text: Rolanda Perkins, Tennessee by on Friday, September 14, 2012 Guest Blogger: Rolanda Perkins It never dawned on Rolanda Perkins that she could be at risk for a heart attack. No one in her family had a history of heart disease. She was even exercising regularly for almost a year before it hit. "I was planning my sister's 40th birthday party and I started feeling tightness in my chest. Nothing eased the pain," she says. Figuring it was indigestion, she went to bed one night only to be awoken by more intense pain at 3:00 am. That's when she decided to go to the emergency room, where she was admitted immediately. "I realized something was wrong when everyone at the hospital started moving really quickly. Then I started to cry," she remembers. Roland was in total shock when her doctor told her she was having a heart attack. She was given nitroglycerin and underwent an angiogram, which is a cardiac catheterization procedure. After the heart attack, the uncertainties and demands persisted. Her job had always been intensely stressful. She worked the late-night shift, so her hours were always erratic and vacation time was hard to come by. Rolanda turned inward and developed feelings of depression and anxiety, carefully shielding it from her family so as not to worry them, but when she was told she'd have to take several medications for the rest of her life, the fire came out. "That's when I said, 'No way!' and vowed to change my circumstances," recalls Rolanda. "I started sharing my story at church. I started reading and listening to inspiration tapes. As I told my story, it motivated others to share their stories about their health-related issues," she says. Prior to her heart event, Rolanda didn't bother with checking nutritional labels. She didn't set goals much either. Today, she's already run a half-marathon with the ladies at her church. Her faith, family, and friends play a huge role in her recovery. "My family is always supportive of what I'm doing. They're my biggest cheerleaders," she attests. Rolanda didn't know anything about heart disease before her experience, but what she knows now fuels her forward. She advocates for herself and all those important in her life. "I don't want this to strike them as it did for me." « Now share your story Share This

On August 1, 2002, a new service was established in the Division of Pediatric Nutrition, Carver College of Medicine, the Mother's Milk Bank of Iowa. In March, 2006 the Mother's Milk Bank of Iowa joined the Department of Food and Nutrition Services.
In May, 2003, the milk bank began providing pasteurized donor human milk to infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the UI Children's Hospital. While premature infants across Iowa have highest priority in receiving donor milk, when the supply is sufficient infants with inborn immunological deficiencies, infants whose mothers experience insufficient milk supply, adopted infants, and infants whose mothers have illnesses requiring temporary cessation of breast feeding also may receive donor milk. In some cases, feeding donor milk is lifesaving.
Experts agree that human milk is best for infants. Evidence and facts confirm it. Mother's own milk is number one. Next is donor human milk.
Human milk feeding is a fundamental right for all infants. It is essential for the infant born premature. Human milk is unrivaled and has benefits that span a lifetime. The Mother's Milk Bank of Iowa was born so that infants have a readily available source of human milk when mothers own is insufficient.
Do you want to give a gift that is lasting and makes a difference? Please donate to Feed a Baby Gift Plan. This plan aims to gift donor human milk to babies who need it and do not have insurance or their insurance does not pay for the processing fee.
Feed a Baby Gift Plan nourished a baby for:
- 4 months on donor human milk. She was in palliative care at home, with heart disease, Down's Syndrome and formula intolerance. Subsequently, she became a candidate for heart surgery.
- 2 weeks on donor human milk. Her mother had to take medication that was contraindicated for breast feeding. Mother pumped and discarded her milk during this time. Then she resumed breast feeding.
Funds are urgently needed for Feed a Baby Gift Plan. Collectively, we can nourish a baby, 1 bottle at a time.

County Completes Sale Of Drake Center Property
UC Health Buys Land, Buildings For $15 Million
Hamilton County completed its sale Wednesday of the Drake Center.
The board of commissioners passed a resolution to sell the county's remaining interests in the health care facility and the 42 acres it occupies.
UC Health, which has owned Drake Center since 2006, will pay the full $15 million purchase price this month for the property and its buildings.
The commission also approved a separate agreement with UC Health for a variety of health initiatives aimed at reducing infant mortality in Hamilton County and maximizing Medicaid resources in the county.
The sale allows Hamilton County to roll back property taxes this year as promised in the original 1996 agreement to build stadiums for the Bengals and Reds.
Taxpayers will get the full $30 back for each $100,000 in assessed value, as promised when voters approved the stadium initiative.

You may have noticed that the "look and feel" of Science@NASA stories has changed. There's no cause for alarm. Our core product, simply- and clearly-told stories about NASA science, remains the same. The changes are a sign of progress. Recently, the Science@NASA team joined forces with the Science Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters. Working together, we'll be able to cover a broader range of NASA discoveries and develop "citizen science" opportunities for our readers, while still producing old favorites such as Apollo Chronicles and "looking up" stories about backyard astronomy events. The sky's the limit.

The San Jose Sharks have three options in their series with the Los Angeles Kings: (1.) Win Game 6 on Sunday, travel to Los Angeles, win Game 7 on Tuesday, and advance to the Western Conference Final; (2.) Win Game 6 on Sunday, travel to Los Angeles, lose Game 7 on Tuesday, and shake hands at center ice while the Kings advance; (3.) Lose Game 6 on Sunday, shake hands at center ice, and watch the Kings move on.
Inside the Sharks' locker room, there is only one option to consider, and that's option 1. The other two options cannot be allowed. However, that state of affairs depends totally on how the Sharks perform on Sunday.
This series has been heading in this direction since the drop of the first puck on May 14th at the Staples Center. In fact, Game 5 was the mirror image of Game 4 in so many different ways. Everything that the Sharks did to the Kings in Game 4, the Kings dished right back in Game 5.
The Sharks know what they have to do. Here is a brief rundown of the challenge from an historical perspective:
- Los Angeles has a 7-1 lifetime series record when leading a series, 3 games to 2. The one loss occurred in 1968, in the team's very first playoff series against the Minnesota North Stars. Minnesota won Game 6 at home, in overtime, and traveled to Los Angeles and won Game 7 by a 9-4 score.
- The last time that the Kings had a 3-2 series lead, they eliminated the St. Louis Blues in Round 1 with a 2-1 victory at Staples Center. The last time that they were in this situation on the road, they traveled to New Jersey for Game 6 of last season's Final. New Jersey won, 2-1, and forced a Game 7, which L.A. won, 6-1, to take the Stanley Cup.
- When they have a chance to clinch the series, the Kings have a lifetime record of 13-10.
- San Jose has a 1-8 lifetime series record when trailing a series, 3 games to 2. The one series win occurred in 1995, when the Sharks were shut out, 5-0, by Calgary in Game 5, and followed up with wins in Game 6 and 7.
- The last time that the Sharks were down 3-2 in a series, they traveled to Anaheim for Game 6 in that 2009 series, and lost, 4-1. The last time that they were in this situation at home, it was 2001, and they lost to St. Louis, 2-1.
- When facing elimination, the Sharks have a record of 9-15, including 3 wins in the second round. The last time that they faced elimination in the Western Conference Semi-Final, they beat Detroit, 3-2, in Game 7 of the 2011 series.
- San Jose's record in home games when down 3-2 in a series is 1-3, with the win coming in that 1995 game vs. Calgary. Darryl Sutter was behind the bench for the Sharks in the other three games against Dallas (1998), Colorado (1999), and St. Louis (2001).
What do all of the above numbers mean, beyond some interesting historical perspective? Absolutely nothing, because the Kings are defending Stanley Cup champions, and the Sharks are a different hockey team this year. All I can say is that regardless of what time they drop the puck on Sunday, it's going to be a fantastic hockey game. Tune in.
I hate watching a Sharks game when I'm not broadcasting it with the Great Randy Hahn.
Well hate may be too strong of a word. I get stressed watching a game that I'm not broadcasting.
As fans, is this what you go through all the time?
Butterflies in the stomach the whole game? Yelling at the TV, and clapping your hands adding "c'mon boys, big power play right here!"
When we aren't broadcasting a Sharks game on Comcast Sportsnet, I seriously start to doubt the network broadcasters objectivity.
They sound like they want LA to win. Now I know that is 100% wrong. I know the commentators well. They are all good and talented people who have no stake in the outcome of the game.
However every time they mention anything positive about the Kings my mind plays tricks on me.
"Why did he say that?"
"That's the third time he mentioned Anze Kopitar is having a strong game"
"Is he President of that guys freakin fan club?"
Crazy? I know. Completely off base and clouded by my bias for the Sharks, without a doubt.
My kids think I'm nuts.
When Logan Couture scored in overtime in game 3, I jumped out of my seat and pumped my fist hard that my shoulder hurt.
When Randy and I are working a game we are focused on the job. There is a lot going on during a broadcast.
Randy is focused on calling the game. He has to keep the information flowing, from who scored from who and when not to mention the frequent promotion and drop ins.
Meanwhile, I'm watching replays from my own monitor, talking to the truck, watching for unique angles and monitoring the benches to see anything our outstanding coaching staff is doing.
Not rocket science by any means but an individual has to stay on task in order to perform it properly.
On the other hand watching and cheering for the team as my only task from the second round on makes me agitated and overwrought with emotion.
But the payoff when the good guys win seems a little sweeter.
Back in December of 2007, Joe Thornton made a "no look" backhand pass through a maze of defenders to Patrick Marleau for an amazing goal. On that night my broadcast partner Drew Remenda immediately dubbed it "The Pass". Tuesday night in a series tying 2-1 win over Los Angeles, Joe Thornton had "The Period".
In his 95 playoff games in a teal sweater, the Sharks captain has never had a 20 minute stretch like he did in the first period of game 4. It was like he was literally launched out onto the ice, shot out of a cannon. He was a beast. Thornton was skating circles around his opponents. His legs seemed as fresh as they've ever been. He controlled the puck, put it where he wanted to put it, took it away from whoever had it on the other team. His pass on Brent Burns goal was brilliant. He owned the faceoff circle. He was tenacious. Unstoppable! The Kings' Mike Richards and his linemates had no answer for Joe Thornton. He played that first period like he was 23 instead of 33.
"He's a hell of a leader", said Logan Couture when asked about Thornton's night. "I love playing with him".
So far in the playoffs Joe Thornton has 9 points in 8 games and amazingly has been on the ice for 17 goals scored and only 1 against.
Of course the Sharks are only 6 victories into a grueling journey that requires 16 and they're going to have to be even better than they've been so far if they're to knock off the defending champions. But no matter where this goes from here, in my view, we've been witnessing the best playoff hockey that future Hall of Famer Joe Thornton has ever produced.
I'm Randy Hahn
Logan Couture has been the 1st star in 3 of the Sharks 5 playoff wins this year!
Last game Logan changed the energy in the HP Pavilion when he emerged from the dressing room near the end of the 2nd period to let everyone know he was fine as he did a little loop during the TV break. Everyone was watching including his coaches, teammates, the Kings players and coaches, the fans, broadcasters and anyone else associated with the game. He then went on to be the best player on the ice and score the OT winning goal.
Jonathan Quick has been the 1st star in 3 of the Kings 6 playoff wins this year!
Quick made a couple of mistakes in games 1 and 2 vs St. Louis and then stole game 3 for the Kings as they got back into the series. This version of the LA Kings relies on Quick, almost too much. While shots are not the sole indicator they do tell a story when you watch a team that doesn't have territorial edge for most of the games it has played in the playoffs, which is the case for the LA Kings. They were outshot in 4 of the 6 games vs the Blues and outshot 177 to 149 in the series. Against the Sharks the shots have been tied once and the Sharks outshot LA the other two times. The shots for the series are 106 to 78 for San Jose who looks like the better team.
The Sharks need Logan Couture as he has emerged as a superstar in this league. This season and playoffs are a bit of a coming out for him and he is handling the added attention as the pro that he is.
The Kings don't just need Quick to be amazing, they rely on it happening. He's good enough to steal a game and help propel his team to a series win as he did against the Blues.
This series is not Couture vs Quick but you sure get the impression that how they go, so goes their respective teams.
The best players and leaders make others better and that's exactly what these players are doing for their teams.
Bring on game 4, and let's see who is going to be the first star tonight.
There was a 5-on-3 situation for the Kings in the final two minutes of Game 2, and Los Angeles converted on the power play to get the win in regulation. One of the man-advantage goals was the result of a "delay over glass" penalty. In Game 3, there was an early Dan Boyle power play goal made possible by the "delay over glass" call, and then, there was a 5-on-3 power play for the Sharks that actually carried into overtime, and produced the winning goal by Logan Couture.
Couture was the hero of the night. After getting blasted by a Jeff Carter check, he hobbled off the ice and was said to be under evaluation. Then, to a tremendous ovation, he returned to action, and sent the crowd into ecstatic celebration with his game-winner in OT.
In the previous game, Anze Kopitar, top center on the Kings, was their rallying point. After going into the dressing room with an injury, he returned to the ice, and it was the Staples Center crowd on their feet with a rousing cheer for their returning hero.
What a series this has been!
For the broadcasters, there's a unique situation with the names. It gets very interesting when Justin Braun is defending Dustin Brown, for instance, or if Mike Richards and Brad Richardson are on the ice. In that second juxtaposition, it is interesting to note that the New York Rangers have a top player, Brad Richards, who fits into this maelstrom. Thankfully, he's not on the roster for this series, but wouldn't it be neat if somehow, somewhere, the Rangers could get a guy named Mike Richardson for their roster?
This is getting right up there with the notion of Miroslav Satan playing for the Devils, or Martin St. Louis playing for the Blues. Of course, Dwight King plays for the Kings.
We're looking forward to Game 4 at HP Pavilion on Tuesday. See you on the radio!
Just a quick note to start
8 of the last 9 Stanley Cup Champions failed to advance past the second round the following season.
I love the way the team responded to the series of unfortunate events that closed out Game 2.

Todd McLellan
Wow! A team that handles adversity and sporting tough breaks without blaming somebody else for their problems. Are you watching you first round teams that got knocked out of the playoffs?
It's refreshing but more importantly it's smart, it's mature.
By not whining or complaining about a tough call or penalties you are not allowing excuses to seep into your mind.
By not whining about the delay of game penalty being the dumbest rule in hockey, which it is. The team is being accountable for their play.
A team that looks for solutions not excuses is a team that has leadership and knows that " no one ever excused their way to success."
Up until Thursday, the Sharks hadn't faced much in the way of adversity in this Stanley Cup Playoff year, but they've got a whole lot of it now.
First came the news that Raffi Torres has been suspended for the remainder of the second round as a result of his "illegal" hit on Kings center Jarret Stoll in game 1. Then came the gut wrenching final minutes of a 4-3 loss to LA in game 2. After an awe inspiring four game sweep of the Vancouver Canucks, the Sharks are in an 0-2 hole. Adversity has found them.
Now we get to find out how the Sharks will handle it. They should be well prepared . It wasn't that long ago that the team went through a terrible stretch where they won only 5 of 21 games over all of February and half of March. They weren't looking much like a playoff bound team at all. But as we know they pulled themselves out of it, made a terrific run through the last third of the regular season, and ended up as a 6 seed. They've been through some very tough times together already this year and now things just got tough again.
Yes, the Game 2 loss felt like a kick in the stomach. But I really like what I've seen from the Sharks in these playoffs and in this series. They've got heart. They play hard. They battle. They don't quit. In all honesty we haven't always been able to say all of those things about some past Sharks playoff teams. But I believe this team is different.
There were no excuses offered by any Sharks players nor coach Todd McLellan after game 2. None from Marc Eduard Vlasic who's untimely delay of game penalty helped fuel the Kings stunning comeback and none from captain Joe Thornton.
"They did their job. They got two at home. Now we have to go home and do our job," said Thornton.
The job at hand is to face that adversity head on. And these Sharks appear to have the heart to get the job done.
So what do the Sharks need to do to win game 2. I would say based on the quotes below play the same way they did in game 1 but with more edge, grit and desperation in the offensive zone.
Here are some telling quotes from the last few days.
Jarret Stoll - before the series discussing what the Kings need to do in this series
"There's probably 5 or 6 guys on that team that we've got to neutralize, and we've got to shut down, get in their face, make it a very uncomfortable game for them. That's what playoffs are all about – making it uncomfortable, taking away time and space, getting people out of their comfort zone and staying out of the box too."
Stoll's quote is very telling and LA played that way in game 1 and were victorious. Now take a look at some of the quotes from the Sharks after game 1.
Head Coach Todd McLellan
"I spent six days reviewing the St. Louis series, and I heard a lot of the same stuff coming out of their mouths," McLellan said. "We didn't accomplish enough. There is a team that just played against them for six nights, and said they had a lot of chances and the goaltender made a number of saves. We can't be that team again. We've got to find ways to score, and we've got to make it a lot harder on him."
"Guys weren't committed to getting in front of him (Quick), so that needs to change. They check tight. You've got to beat their guy out of the corner to get to the net, and we weren't able to do that."
"Our effort was pretty good," Boyle said. "But, it's probably a broken record with what St. Louis went through. I read that they felt they possibly were the better team in the series, they just weren't scoring enough goals. We've got to get a little hungrier and a little dirtier and a little meaner in front of their net."
"We feel we can play with them. After tonight, everyone in this room feels they are beatable. It's not going to be easy, obviously. They are the Stanley Cup champs, a team that has learned how to win."
Pavelski said it very well, the Sharks know they can beat the Kings but it won't be easy. I am going to re-visit my RAM Trucks 3 Keys to the Series because they were applicable in game 1, will be applicable tonight and throughout the series. This is as much a mental battle as it is a physical one.
1. Patience
Tight checking. Low scoring. Always someone in your face. No time or space. That's LA hockey and it's frustrating to play against and tests your moxie and patience. The Sharks have to be prepared for 60 minutes plus every night with air-tight defense first hockey that requires incredible focus and concentration.
2. Every battle counts ... a lot!
This is LA's bread and butter - they wear you down by winning battles which wears you down mentally. The Sharks match up well in this category but it will take an enormous toll every shift, every period, every game.
3. Confidence thru goaltending
When your goalie exudes confidence it reverberates throughout the lineup because the players know the last line of defense is the goalie and he has you covered if you make a mistake. Niemi vs Quick is an enticing matchup because they are the goalies who have won 2 of the last 3 Stanley Cups and they are both on top of their game right now.
One game has been played in the Western Conference Semi-Final between the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings, and I'm thinking about a Yogi Berra baseball quote when trying to characterize what this series is going to be like.
"Baseball is ninety percent mental," Yogi once quipped. "The other half is physical."
Well, this series between the Sharks and the Kings is also going to seem one with physical prominence. It's one where the grinding along the boards and in front of the net will also be prominent, recalling a moment last night where five skaters hammered for the puck in the San Jose defensive zone for what seemed like an eternity before it finally popped out to a Sharks stick.
But as Yogi indicated about his sport, ninety percent of the Sharks challenge in this series is probably going to be right between the ears.
All in all, the Sharks did many good things in this game, especially considering the week off. Realistically, the one place where the rust mattered over the rest was in the emotional edge, which slowly returned as the game went on. As my broadcast partner Jamie Baker noted on the radio last night, "Every battle counts." He's correct.
There were a lot of interesting chess matches going on between the coaches. There were quick line changes early in the game. There was a stand-off near the end of an icing before a time out was finally called. But there were physical challenges, too.
Primarily, the Sharks have to maintain their patience and their composure. They're going to have more situations in this series where they could be frustrated by the Stanley Cup champions. But make no mistake, now that one team has a victory, this series is on, and while the chess matches will continue, the desperation, the rivalry, and the emotional edge will escalate.
We look forward to bringing all the action to you on the radio. See you on Thursday.
It's official. The Sharks will open the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Tuesday night at 7 (PDT) in Los Angeles on NBC Sportsnet and the Sharks Radio Network. On a "pick your poison" night Sunday, when the outcome of game 7 between Detroit and Anaheim determined if it would be Chicago or the Kings, the Sharks got the defending Cup champions. And I love the matchup. What's not to love?
If the Red Wings are the Sharks top rival thanks to all of their playoff series over the years, the Kings are rival #2. This series could change that. It's Thornton vs Doughty, Couture vs Kopitar, Marleau vs Carter, Pavelski vs Richards, Niemi vs Quick and Torres vs ummm (any volunteers?)
And the storylines don't end there. Kings GM Dean Lombardi and Head Coach Darryl Sutter spent many years with the Sharks. Now they go head to head with their old club in the playoffs.
The Sharks are actually the last team to beat LA in a playoff series. But don't mistake this version of the Kings with the one that lost in 6 games two years. The personnel are much better, there's a different coach, and oh ya, they won the Cup last June!
But then again these aren't "those" Sharks either. So far "these" Sharks have shown to be an excellent defensive team with top-notch goaltending, solid special teams and scoring depth throughout the lineup. They also possess the kind of hunger to win a championship that the Kings enjoyed last spring.
It's a series that has a chance to be a classic and to vault the Kings-Sharks rivalry to a whole new level. Tuesday night at 7 can't come soon enough. Enjoy!
I'm Randy Hahn

One of my favourite games! It's easy to learn, and can be played again and again. The artwork is swell, and the game runs smoothly.
It's much like the game Munchkin, only more thought through and funnier cards.
Oh, and to the person who complained that you don't get a D6 in the box, I'd like to remind that 99% of all housholds has one of these random-number-generators. I'm glad I did not have to pay extra money for an item I already own!
I adore this game. It is easy to play, easy to teach and really funny. It's even better with Slack Attack. I probably like so much because I can identify with the people, places, and things vividly, and I really enjoy simple games that have a lot of playability. Every time we play, there are new ways to win. We sometimes aim for 'theme' wins where most of our slack comes from one type of card such as 'enlightenment through nookie' and 'smoking at the cafe'. But, caution, you will need a sense of humor and 6-sided dice to play.
Anyone who's ever shared an apartment/house or gone to college will recognize and appreciate the humor in this game, which is accompanied by some very nice John Kovalic (of Dork Tower fame) art.
The game plays very well with 3 or more people and is a great party game experience. It's easy to teach to beginners, and also not punishing to those new to the game.

Chez Geek has been known to elicit uproarious laughter... and that's before the rules have been explained. You start with a job card that specifies your income, free time, and the slack points you need to overcome the stress created by your job and win. Gain slack by inviting people, buying things, and using your free time to engage in activities. Your creativity in gaining slack may be destroyed in equally creative ways by your "roommates." Eat, drink, and be merry? Or wine, women, and song? Have it all--but see it you can keep it!

** We live in Ohio and a trip to South Dakota is rare, so any help with keeping this box up would be apreciated! Also would love to hear how it's doing!
Storybook Island is one of our favorite places ever. We've read the first 5 books of the L. Frank Baum Oz books, so our journey on the yellow brick road was almost magical to our 6 year old son. I guess Frank Baum based his books on his time living in Aberdeen:) Some little known facts from the book: Did you know that Dorothy's magic slippers were silver, not ruby? Also, the Emerald city is not really green inside...they wear green glasses or goggles to make everyone think it is.
Start your journey by entering Storybook Island at Wylie park north of Aberdeen. It's free:)
Enjoy the scenery, maybe take a ride on the train, and make your way to Wizard of Oz land. To get there you can go under (not over) the rainbow, and to the left of the castle. If the Oz shop is open beside the yellow brick road, it's best to go through "the tornado" to end up at Dorothy and Glenda. It was neat for us but too scary for our kids, so you can also just start at Dorothy.
Follow the yellow brick road to find your three friends: The scarecrow, tin woodsman, and lion. At the lion's den, exit out the other side and immediately look to the left of the tunnel. There should be a removeable rock in the bottom corner of the tunnel. Discreetly look behind it to find what you need! 3 handcarved stamps. Something to guide you to the emerald city, something you'll need to enter, and things your friends will need to help you on the way:)
PLEASE REHIDE WELL AS FOUND, AND BE SURE NO ONE SEES YOU. The Wicked Witch of the West has spies everywhere:) First Finders can keep the prize inside (the keychain)

Assessing Johnson's Bunker Bummer
Nick Watney looked like he would be the story Sunday at the PGA Championship, with an epic implosion that saw him fire a nine-over par 81 and lose his grip on the lead he held heading into Sunday's play. Then poor Dustin Johnson showed up. Johnson received a two-stroke penalty on the 18th hole—knocking him down to fifth place—after he thought he had finished in a three-way tie and was headed to a playoff.
Johnson's sin? Grounding his club in a sand trap. Now for the avalanche of follow-ups:
What is grounding?
In the simplest of terms, it's when your club touches the ground before your swing. For example, when you address the ball and place the head of the club on the ground to ready yourself.
But I do that all the time when I golf!
Golfers are allowed to ground the club on fairways, at the tee, in the rough … pretty much anywhere but in a hazard, like sand.
Why doesn't a professional golfer know this rule?
Johnson does. But the trap he found himself in wasn't obviously a trap. Whistling Straits is famous for having sandy little spots all over the place, about 1,200 on the course. Many could fool even the most seasoned pro. "I just thought it was on a piece of dirt where the crowd had trampled [everything] down," Johnson explained after the penalty.
The problem here is twofold: First, the crowd was all over that trap all weekend long, so it looked more like a "waste area" than a sand trap. However, the rules committee posted a set of rules explaining that the course has a lot of weirdly-placed bunkers, and if someone happened to land in something even slightly sandy — no matter where it is on the course, how tiny it may be, or even how many tire tracks it may have in it — he had to play it like a bunker.
So whose side do we take here?
This is where it gets tough.
"It was black print on a piece of white, 8 x 11 paper," Steve Elling of CBSSports.com writes, in regards to the posted set of rules. "Not a lick of gray to be found."
"Emotions aside, it's hard not to commiserate with Johnson," adds NBCSports.com's Dan O'Neill. "But the PGA said it had warned players before the tournament that such sandy areas around the golf course were to be considered as such."
The Journal's Jason Gay feels that even though this call was correct, it didn't have to be made. Common sense should have prevailed. "Instead of a rollicking three-way finish, the 2010 PGA will be remembered for a cold-blooded, by-the-book decision — enforcing the rules of a bunker that nobody outside of a few officials knew was a bunker."
Johnson's situation was eerily foreshadowed Wednesday by Sports Illustrated's John Garrity, who wrote about traipsing through bunkers in the roped-off areas without even realizing it during practice rounds earlier in the week. "Roped-off spectator paths lead you right into the sand, which is neatly raked on one side of the rope and churned up like a child's sandbox on the other," Garrity writes. "And before you challenge that last metaphor, let me say that I saw flesh-and-blood children digging up rocks and building sand castles in bunkers overlooking the eighth green."
* * *
By the way, 25-year-old Martin Kaymer won the PGA Championship. He became only the second German to win a major and the first German to have a major win usurped by a bunker-obsessed media circus. Granted, this may not have been the worst thing for Kaymer. Had he won without controversy, the world would instead be treated to dramatic re-tellings of how Kaymer came back from three broken bones in his foot caused by a go-kart accident last year to win his first major.
* * *
The Midwest was a controversy magnet Sunday, as Minnesota's Kevin Slowey became the first pitcher since 2002 to be yanked after throwing seven no-hit innings in a game. Slowey, who missed his previous start with a sore elbow, had struck out five and walked three while throwing 106 pitches against the Oakland Athletics. Jon Rauch, who replaced Slowey to start the eighth, gave up a hit to the second batter he faced. Although the crowd understandably rained boos down on the team when Slowey didn't come out to start the eighth, there was a general wave of understanding from everyone involved — including most sportswriters — that protecting Slowey's arm was more important than trying for a no-no.
"I'd be booing too," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire told the Star-Tribune's Joe Christensen. "I want to see a no-hitter myself, but I also know that I'm responsible for this young man's arm." Gardenhire noted that even if he brought Slowey back out for the eighth inning, his added pitch count would have made it almost impossible to bring him out for the ninth.
"Leave him in and there's a strong chance he ends up allowing a hit on, say, his 127th pitch," Aaron Gleeman writes on his eponymous blog, "in which case the Twins would've gone from risking his health for a minimal reward to risking his health for zero reward."
In other, more annoying, baseball news, the Washington Nationals have until midnight Monday to sign their number one overall pick, Bryce Harper. Like possible future teammates Stephen Strasburg and Ivan Rodriguez, Harper is a client of Scott Boras. The Washington Post's Thomas Boswell is a little concerned about the cozy nature of the Nationals's relationship with the super agent. "Boras likes to get his fingers as deep into any pie as he can," Boswell writes. "And that's what's happening with the Nats, especially if a Harper deal gets done."
"Seventeen of the top 32 picks remain unsigned," USA Today's Gabe Lacques writes. "Last year, four of the top nine picks signed in the last two hours before the deadline."

The Association of Volleyball Professionals closed shop last Friday, canceling the rest of its season and leaving beach volleyball lovers nationwide without an American league to follow.
Hans Stolfus, one of the more popular players on the tour, wrote a 3,700-word opus on the AVP's website, musing on what the league meant to him.
"The sport of volleyball has been my entire life since the age of 19. It's dominated every thought in my mind and every conversation out of my mouth," Stolfus writes. "I'd be lying if I said I did not tear up on the drive home this evening."

The following blocks support arrays of buses:
Virtual blocks (see Nonvirtual and Virtual Blocks)
These nonvirtual blocks:
Two-Way Connection (a Simscape™ block)
The following table describes the block parameter settings for blocks that support arrays of buses. This information is also in the reference pages for each of these blocks.
For usage information for bus-related blocks, see Arrays of Buses with Bus-Related Blocks.
|Block Parameters Settings
Initial condition — You can specify this parameter with:
|Multiport Switch
Number of data ports — Set to a value of 2 or greater.
|Signal Conversion
Output — Set to
Threshold — Specify a scalar threshold.
To select a signal within an array of buses:
Use a Selector block to find the appropriate bus within the array of buses.
Use a Bus Selector block to select the signal.
To assign a value to a signal within an array of buses:
Use a Bus Assignment block to assign a value to a bus element.
Use the Assignment block to assign the bus to the array of buses.
Bus Selector and Bus Assignment blocks can only accept scalar buses, not arrays of buses.
A Bus Creator block can accept an array of buses as input, but cannot have an array of buses as output.
For details, see Set Up a Model to Use Arrays of Buses.
Setting up a model to use an array of buses usually involves basic tasks similar to these:
Define the array of buses (see Define an Array of Buses).
Add a subsystem for performing iterative processing on each element of the array of buses. For example, use a For Each Subsystem block or an Iterator block.
Connect the array of buses signal from the Concatenate block to the iterative processing subsystem.
Model your scalar algorithm within the iterative processing subsystem (for example, a For Each subsystem).
Operate on the array of buses (using Selector and Assignment blocks).
Use the Bus Selector and Bus Assignment blocks to select elements from, or assign elements to, a scalar bus within the subsystem.
Assign values into an array of buses
Optionally, import or log array of buses data.
The resulting model includes these components.
Before you run a simulation on a model that uses an array of
buses, in the Configuration Parameters > Diagnostics > Connectivity pane, check that the Mux blocks used to create
bus signals parameter uses the default setting of
After you create an array of buses and update the diagram, the line style for the array of buses signal is a thicker version of the signal line style for a nonvirtual bus signal.
For example, in the
sldemo_bus_arrays model,
Scalar Bus signal is a nonvirtual bus signal,
and the
Bus Array output signal of the Concatenate
block is an array of buses signal.

What's The Deal: Tech on a Tear
For months it's been clear to office-building landlords that the technology sector is emerging as one of the few engines of growth in the city's economy. Now a new report by CBRE Group Inc.is about to be released showing just how powerful that engine is.
According to the report, the tech sector fueled 159 real-estate deals in 2011, compared with just 74 in 2008. Companies that have embarked on well-known expansions in New York City include Google, Facebook, eBay, Apple and Twitter. Apple Inc. has nearly quintupled its foothold since 2008 to 55,000 square feet today, and Facebook has tripled in size to 40,000 square feet, according to the report.
In the meantime, nearly 1,000 tech start-ups have been created in New York City in recent years, while in 2011 venture capitalists invested $2.7 billion in 379 deals in the New York Metro area, according to the report.
Unfortunately for landlords, the tech boom doesn't make up for the contraction in the financial services sector. And some landlords still remember the last technology boom in the late 1990s, which burst suddenly, leaving them with huge vacancies virtually overnight.
But the CBRE report says the fact that the industry has shown sustained growth since 2008, even through a downturn in the economy, shows this tech boom is more stable. "If you look back to 2000, it was quick run up and it fell awfully quick," says Sacha Zarba, a broker at CBRE Group Inc.
Google Inc., which has grown from 650,000 square feet in 2008 to 930,000 square feet today, purchased a building at 111 Eighth Ave. in an effort to accommodate its growth needs. But now the tech giant is searching for more than 100,000 square feet, according to people familiar with the matter. CBRE represented Google when it purchased 111 Eighth and is representing it in its search today.

hungledink posted a topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsI have a 2003 focus. The remote locking is intermittent, and the key itself when inside the driver side door wont open it. I either have to persevere with remote locking or use the passenger door to unlock the car. I have replaced the battery in the key fob, yet remote locking is still intermittent. Unfortunately I dont have the spare Does it sound like I need a new key?

hungledink replied to hungledink's topic in Ford Focus ClubTurns out you were right, out the battery was loose and the earthing wires had broke. £155 to repair it. Daylight robbery. How the first garage never spotted it I will never know. Thanks everyone.
hungledink replied to hungledink's topic in Ford Focus ClubThe greenflag guy said that aswell, said the starter motor earthing wires might need replacing, or something along them lines. Will mention that to the garage tomorrow if they draw a blank.
hungledink replied to hungledink's topic in Ford Focus ClubSo ive just heard from the garage who have no idea whats wrong with it. They say its some weird electrical issue because some of the electrics work while others dont. Apparently headlights and electric windows dont work but the side lights and dashboard does. They have tested all the fuses but they seem fine. Any other ideas what this could be?
hungledink replied to hungledink's topic in Ford Focus ClubThanks for the suggestions so far everyone. All the electrics work ins the car, lights, radio, power windows etc. Haven't got a way of testing the battery but sure thats the first thing the Greenflag guy tested, and he said battery was fine. Would the internal electrics as described work if the battery was faulty? Regarding the fan belt, didnt check that but would the engine at least turn over if the fan belt had broke? Engine dooes nothing currently.
hungledink replied to hungledink's topic in Ford Focus ClubThe Greenflag guy had some contraption which he attached to the battery, guessing he was trying to jump start. Didnt work.
hungledink posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubI have a 2000 ford focus 1.8 zetec with 89000 miles. As I was driving home earlier, my car died on me. It was as though I had turn the car off without having done so. When I try and start it up, the dashboard lights work and the engine symbol is illuminated and the mileometer shows -- -- -- instead of the mileage. The engine itslef does nothing. I have been advised by the recovery service who towed me home that it is an issue with my starter motor, possibly not being earthed correctly. He deduced this by activating the starter motor but noticing it didnt start the car. Does this sound accurate? A freind of mine said it sounds more like an alternator issue. Anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance.

A Japanese Staple Reconsidered
Dish spotlights noteworthy creations in Asia's restaurants. See previous articles.
Grilled fish is one of the cornerstones of Japanese cuisine. Served with a small mound of daikon oroshi, or grated daikon radish, on the side, the dish can be found on tables at all meals of the day.
Seiji Yamamoto, owner and chef of restaurant Nihon Ryori RyuGin in Tokyo, elevates this humble dish to an elaborate play on flavor and texture. Although the Kagawa native first started cooking to impress his mother, he's now moving critics with his contemporary approach to Japanese haute cuisine.
RyuGin earned its third Michelin star last December and currently ranks 20th on the San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants list. Accolades have led to expansion: Earlier this week, Mr. Yamamoto opened a second branch in Hong Kong.
Mr. Yamamoto's version of grilled fish, which typically appears in the middle of his 12-course tasting menu, is a quartet of contrasting flavors and textures with fatty akamutsu sea perch encrusted with roasted rice as the star supported by creamy daikon oroshi, briny baby oysters and sweet persimmon. "The fish is still the focus of the dish, but I kept thinking of how to make it more delicious by adding layers of complexity," he says.
Mr. Yamamoto breaks down his complicated dish:
Akamutsu: The flaky white flesh of akamutsu, a deep-sea-dwelling member of the perch family, is prized for its lush texture and richness. For this dish, Mr. Yamamoto uses medium-sized fish weighing about 1 kilograms each, sourced locally when possible.
Second skin: Akamutsu is similar to black cod and has a thin skin that gets soggy after grilling. Mr. Yamamoto ensures crunch by adding what he calls a "second skin" of toasted rice kernels. Before grilling the fillets, he brushes them with egg white and presses the toasted rice onto the skin. As the fish cooks, its oils coat the kernels and crust is formed.
Mr. Yamamoto takes a two-step approach to grilling the fish to ensure juicy flesh: He skewers the fish and partially cooks it over hot charcoal, then leaves the fish to rest briefly on a warm shelf before grilling a second time. The chef then finishes the akamutsu by spraying the entire surface with a fine mist of black vinegar, soy sauce and mirin.
Daikon oroshi with uni: Mr. Yamamoto turns this standard daikon condiment into a luxurious side dish by adding raw diced yamaimo, a Japanese mountain tuber that's a relative of the yam family, and sea urchin from Hokkaido. Yamaimo is lighter and fluffier than daikon and complements the creamy sea urchin. "The idea is to experience many flavors and textures on the same plate," he says.
Virgin oysters: True to their name, these baby oysters from Hiroshima are harvested young before they've produced eggs and the chef uses them to bolster the marine flavors. Roughly the size of a thumbnail, the oysters, nestled in dollops of abalone liver paste, taste intensely of the sea.
Persimmon: Mr. Yamamoto completes the dish with a wedge of fresh persimmon that's been splashed with cognac and drizzled with a smoky sesame sauce. For the sauce, he grinds toasted sesame seeds while they're still hot and seasons the paste with soy sauce and a sugar.
Each element of the dish is arranged simply but elegantly on a rectangular plate. Mr. Yamamoto recommends starting with a bite of fish before alternating between the other components. The sweet persimmon, though, is more than just a side to counter the rich fish.
"It's also my way of making a little joke," he says. Kaki, the word for "persimmon," sounds the same as the Japanese word for "oyster." It's a pun that's been delighting Japanese chefs for years – the culinary equivalent of a dad joke – and Mr. Yamamoto can't help chuckling as he repeats it. After all, it's a classic.
Price: Tasting menus featuring 12 courses are available from 22,000 Japanese yen ($264).

The Purloined Letter
by Edgar Allan Poe
Character Analysis
S— is one of the biggest mysteries of the story. This whole mess begins when he sends the royal lady a letter. We deduce that this person has a name that begins with an "S" because the purloined letter is sealed with, you guessed it, S—. (Hey, if anyone's throwing around any 50,000 franc checks….) We also know that S— comes from a "ducal family," thanks to the seal that G— describes.
So: we know he's a powerful guy. Other than that, we're as lost as you are.

Dancing in the Streets of Paris
read moreread less
Every Sunday morning ( around 10 am) the locals gather with accordionist Christian Bassoul and at the bottom of rue Mouffetard ( 5eme) to sing favorite French songs and dance the morning away. A large crowd joins them and song sheets are passed. Everyone dances, including some toursits. It's ALWAYS on my Sunday To Do List when in Paris. I've been fortunate to meet several them and exchanged emails and even have taken prints of my photographs on several visits. They stop around noon and usually retire to a café close by for lunch and sometimes more dancing. A very special Paris memory for me.

In principle it's easy. We append a 3-byte nop to the lock-taking
instructions. We invent an AMD_MUTEX_BUG synthetic cpuid feature
bit and add boot-time code to detect it. We use the alternatives()
infrastructure to replace that nop with lfence at boot-time if
AMD_MUTEX_BUG is present.
I think the hardest part is locating all lock-taking code sequences.
Also I think I'll start by writing a user-space test program that
does a stress-test of the plain lock;rmw;unlobk sequence to see if
it can break it. (Locks/mutexes are also used in user-space.)

Having fun while <0x000A>learning about food
Published: Monday, April 20, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 11:53 a.m.
With colorful plates referencing common items to equate portion sizes (a regular box of crayons is equivalent to a serving of meat) and all the plastic food to play with, kids won't know the new Pick-A-Portion Cafe is teaching them healthy eating habits. The exhibit is on display at Hands On! A Child's Gallery on Main Street.
"It's just to reinforce the message of moving more and eating smart," said Terri Wallace, the executive director of Henderson County's Partnership for Health.
The exhibit, which opened on Thursday, April 9, will be on display for a year. The Henderson County Childhood Obesity Prevention Demonstration Project funded the exhibit while Hands On! designed the look and feel of the cafe. The project is part of a grant from the state of North Carolina. It was awarded to five counties in the state. The project is being implemented by 19 agencies in Henderson County and it funded Be Active Day at the Blue Ridge Mall, as well as training for P.E. teachers in the school systems.
"We're really excited about the whole display," said Linda Charping, health education director for Henderson County Department of Public Health.
"The display is specifically for kids," said Wallace.
Hands On! is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is $5. For more information, call 697-8333 or www.handsonwnc.org.

|The fifth industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was held in 2008. In it the contestants were challenged to predict specific, industrially relevant, properties of fluid systems, namely the 1-octanol /water partition coefficient and the infinite dilution activity coefficient in water of 1-ethylpropylamine and 3-methyl-1-pentanol at specified state conditions. The focus of this challenge was on evaluating methods that could be applied to more difficult liquid-liquid equilibrium problems where a third component is present at a high enough concentration to influence the mutual solubilities of the two main components. Four groups accepted the challenge and used a variety of molecular simulation methods.

Insurers Face More Losses
Just how bad is it for life insurers? Some analysts are fearful.
FBR Capital Markets estimates in a Tuesday report that publicly traded life insurers could face additional realized credit losses of $19.2 billion over the next year or two, more than its estimate of industry's excess capital of $17.5 billion by the end of 2010. That means a number of insurers may need either to raise funds in the capital markets or go hat in hand to the government — a dozen life insurers already have pending applications for aid from the government's $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program.
For their part, the insurers say their unrealized losses are on bonds with prices beaten down by a dearth of buyers, not looming problems of the issuers themselves. But unless the economy rebounds in the second half of the year, a sizable portion those losses will become permanent, stock and bond analysts say.
CreditSights, an independent research firm for bond investors, moved the life-insurance sector from "cautious overweight" to "underweight" Monday, saying it had "underestimated the magnitude and duration of the collapse in the market."
The deteriorating situation, and the importance of the industry to healthy capital markets, makes it likely that life insurers will receive government aid, the report found.
Headed into the opening bell, shares of Hartford Financial Services Group were down 2.2%, while Prudential Financial Inc. fell 3.6%, and Allianz lost 2.8%.

The whole idea that 501C3 have any business being tax exempt, is another reason this economy is in trouble.

So by all rights the IRS questioning the TEAGAGGERS WAS LAWFUL.

Bush's use of the IRS was but one part of that larger assault, in 2005, Bush's IRS began what became an extensive two-year investigation into a Pasadena church after an orator dared to speak out against President Bush's Iraq War. Not coincidentally, the Los Angeles Times reports that the church targeted just so happened to be "one of Southern California's largest and most liberal congregations." That IRS church audit came a year after it launched a near-identical attack on the NAACP after the civil rights organization criticized various Bush administration policies.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Near-Drowning
Near-drowning is a common but out-of-date phrase for surviving a drowning event.
Drowning happens when a person is underwater and breathes water into the lungs. The airway (larynx) can spasm and close, or water can damage the lungs and keep them from taking in oxygen. In either case, the lungs can't supply oxygen to the body. This can be deadly.
Going without oxygen has a rapid effect on the body.
Right after a drowning, a person may:
Even a little water in the lungs can cause serious lung problems in the next hours or days. Emergency medical care is critical after a person survives a drowning.
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if a drowning victim has:
Call a doctor now if a recent drowning victim has new breathing problems or signs of a lung infection, such as:
