There is no way to prevent hyperthyroidism in the case of Graves' disease and most other causes.
Taking too much thyroid hormone replacement can also result in hyperthyroidism, follow your treatment plan and get blood tests done regularly. In some cases, excess iodine intake, such as kelp supplements, may cause hyperthyroidism.

A two-vehicle crash late Sunday afternoon in Amherst left one driver charged with driving while intoxicated, while four occupants in the other vehicle were taken to two area hospitals after that vehicle rolled over, Amherst police said.
None of the injuries was believed to be life-threatening.
The crash occurred shortly before 4:25 p.m., when a 2003 Toyota made a left turn into a 2006 Jeep that was traveling north on Campbell Boulevard.
Police charged the Toyota driver, Andrey Tsur-Tsar, 36, of Amherst, with DWI and some traffic violations, according to the accident report. Police said he refused to submit to a breath test.
Five people were in the Jeep that rolled over.
The driver, Thomas J. Durkin, 46, was not injured, police said. Shirley J. Bork, 82, of Williamsville, was taken to Erie County Medical Center, where she was admitted to a regular room; her condition was not available. Cynthia J. Durkin was treated and released from ECMC.
Two other family members, both teenagers, were taken to Women & Children's Hospital.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — A proposed mountain improvement project at Northstar California could generate several potentially significant environmental impacts, some of which would be unavoidable even after mitigation.
Those are some of the findings in the recently released draft Environmental Impact Report on the Northstar Mountain Master Plan, which calls for new ski lifts, additional trails, a gondola and more to maintain Northstar's competitiveness as a resort destination.
Sensitivity to the surrounding environment was considered in the planning process, said Bill Rock, chief operating officer of Northstar.
Serving as a guide was Northstar's Habitat Management Plan, a planning tool to conserve and enhance resort lands, he said. That plan was created in partnership with conservation groups Sierra Watch and Mountain Area Preservation and finalized in 2009.
"The balance of the needs of Northstar Resort and the special environment we all treasure here in Martis Valley ... is in accordance with the HMP," Rock said.
Despite that, the draft EIR prepared by Rancho Cordova, Calif.-based PMC found the plan would significantly impact a public view along Highway 89 in the northern portion of Truckee due to certain proposed lift facilities, and increase short-term construction emissions even after mitigation.
Two action alternatives proposed in the EIR would reduce project impact to the scenic vista and construction emissions, but they would still be considered "significant and unavoidable."
"Potentially significant" environmental areas that can be reduced to "less than significant" with proper mitigation are: biological resources, noise, and hydrology and water quality among others.
Drainage impact is of particular concern to the neighboring Aspen Grove Condominium Association, said Richard "Dick" Bjur, its president.
After a Northstar retention pond was installed in 2004, downhill Aspen Grove homeowners have seen many aspen trees die, condo foundations get ruined and water-saturated grounds, he said.
Aspen Grove has been involved in ongoing litigation since 2008 in an effort to get the retention pond removed from its current location.
"We would hope that they will act more responsibly in any future uphill development," Bjur said.
According to the report, environmental areas to be less than significantly impacted or not impacted are: traffic and circulation and hazardous materials and hazards.
As of last Friday, no comments have been received on the draft EIR, said Gerry Haas, senior planner for Placer County.
The comment period will last until Jan. 13, 2014. Afterward, work on a final EIR will begin, with possible completion at the end of February 2014 and a Placer County Planning Commission public hearing in March 2014, Haas said.
That timeframe depends on the number of comments received, their depth and whether additional analysis is needed, he said.

In a campaign to increase seatbelt use, Colorado State Patrol is cracking down on those not wearing their seatbelts in Weld and 24 other Colorado counties through Sunday, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
The "Click It or Ticket" enforcement period is combined with a focus on rural Colorado roadways and male pickup truck drivers, who have the lowest seatbelt use in the state, according to a news release.
In 2012, 60 percent of unbuckled deaths in Colorado were men between the ages of 18-34, according to the release.
"Pickup trucks are twice as likely to roll over in a crash, despite the belief that they are safer vehicles," Darrell Lingk, director of CDOT's Office of Transportation Safety, said in a statement. "Due to their lower than average seat belt use, we singled out pickup drivers in this year's seatbelt education campaign, but we hope that all motorists take away our message: Seatbelts can save your life."

When the seasons start to change, I always find myself in a bit of a makeup rut – specifically when it comes to lip color. While it's no secret that I'm a die-hard red lipstick fanatic, I like to go with something a bit lighter for early fall.
I'm not usually one for shimmery lipsticks, but Tigi's Decadent Lipstick in Splendor totally threw me for a loop. An earthy, reddish-gold hue, it's slightly darker than my normal color choice… but I am totally loving it. Decadent, indeed!
For a shade with significant shimmer, the color applied smoothly and lasted through a grande cup of coffee. As always, I still recommend a thorough lip exfoliation prior to application – all shimmery shades tend to get a bit clumpy towards the end of the day, and this one is no exception. Read more

Bryn Mawr College has many high rankings on the Princeton Review: Bryn Mawr is number 18 for "students never stop studying," number 12 for "best quality of life," and number 5 for "dorms like palaces." These are all great rankings from such a well-known organization, but Bryn Mawr College is ranked number 10 for "no one plays intramural sports." This must be changed, and only you, the student body, can change that.
Everyone knows that students at the college are involved in more than just classes. There are a variety of clubs on the Bryn Mawr website that are cultural, musical, academic, political, religious…the list goes on. But if you go online and check out the section for sports clubs, you will only find two organizations. Congratulations, Bryn Mawr boxing and badminton, for being those two teams.
Bryn Mawr intramural volleyball and tennis are winding down their very successful seasons. Jody Law is in charge of both intercollegiate and intramural tennis at Bryn Mawr. She says the intramural program is for "those players that don't want to play on the team, but do know how to play and want to meet others on campus for some tennis." The team meets every weekend for friendly matches on the courts. Kristin Moore runs the intramural volleyball program at Bryn Mawr. The session begins with fifteen minutes of instruction and is followed by a series of games. Last year the program had over fifty participants. Two of those students, Daniela Martinez and Taylor Beaudry, decided to play intercollegiate volleyball in the '04 season. Both made the team, and Martinez was recently named to the Centennial Conference Honor Roll.
So what now? With the volleyball and tennis seasons coming to an end, how will students change that Princeton Review ranking? You won't, unless you make an effort to get involved. Amy Campbell is in charge of intramural sports and says the organization is "set up to meet the interests of students." If there is a sport that you and your friends would love to get involved in, just meetwith her to discuss the organization of it.
Amy Campbell says intramurals "respond to where the student interest is." Students can look forward to a softball game in the spring, game night, spring soccer, and 3 v. 3 basketball, but if these activities don't interest you, take the initiative to begin one that does. Some intramural sports can even fulfill gym requirements.
So why not play? Enjoy the nice fall weather out on the athletic fields or take advantage of the Schwartz Gym. Pull out those Nike pumps, athletic Ts, and get active! Meet people. Take your mind off your studies. Experience friendly competition and the love of the game. You can even get another one of those class requirements out of the way. And most importantly, move Bryn Mawr to Princeton Review's list of "everyone plays intramural sports."

A girl attending a convent school (usually referring to St. Joesph Convent, San Fernando). Some may have an American accent (that is questionable since they live 3000 kilometres from that continent). they posess a very high superiority complex and a sterotypical 'convent girl' is as follows: lightly skinned, fake accent, rich, can be seen surrounded by a bandwaggon of 'pres men' (their brother school), blonde mentality (although they do posess enough brain cells to get them into that school in the first place. this is the definition of a stereotypical convent girl, obviously this does not apply to all.

A solar energy farm described as the largest in the state will be located in Colleton County near Walterboro, officials said Wednesday.
The project on about 20 acres will produce up to 3 megawatts of electricity on property located in the service area of Coastal Electric Cooperative.
Santee Cooper said the effort will provide an opportunity to learn the costs and potential benefits of large-scale solar power. Central Electric Cooperative is a partner in the effort.
"Santee Cooper is pleased to partner with Central and the state's electric cooperatives in planning this project, which will set a new bar for solar power in South Carolina," said Lonnie Carter, Santee Cooper president and CEO.
Santee Cooper currently has more than 130,00 kilowatts of renewable electricity online or under contract, he said.
Central Electric President and CEO Ron Calcaterra, said that solar power costs more than conventional power, even after factoring in tax incentives.
"That's why we're doing this, to learn how we can minimize the cost to our members," he said.
The pilot project will be a tool for learning how to integrate solar power into a complex power system while still providing reliability and affordability, the utilities said in a press release.
Santee Cooper has issued a request for proposals and is reviewing bids now for a third party to construct and operate the project, with Santee Cooper having the option to purchase the electricity and distribute it through Central to member cooperatives.
Construction of the solar farm is expected to start by the end of the year.
Most of the solar power now used in South Carolina comes from the Boeing rooftop system in North Charleston, which produces 2.6 megawatts of power. It covers 10 acres of the roof of the 14-acre Boeing 787 final assembly building. South Carolina Electric & Gas and Boeing were partners in that project, which generates enough electricity to power 250 homes, according to SCE&G.
Santee Cooper, which is owned by the state, is South Carolina's largest electricity producer. It provides power for about 2 million people in all 46 counties. "Renewables" such as solar energy account for 1 percent of the state's power.

Girls star Lena Dunham is standing by her screen time in the buff.
The actress, who has earned both praise and criticism for dropping trou in her hit HBO comedy, got into a heated exchange Thursday when, during a panel discussion at a Television Critics Association event in Pasadena, Calif., a reporter pressed her about the nudity featured on the show.
"I don't get the purpose of all of the nudity on the show ... Your character is often naked just at random times for no reason," the reporter remarked, which prompted a pointed response from Dunham.
"It's because it's a realistic expression of what it's like to be alive, I think, and I totally get it," the actress, 27, said. "If you are not into me, that's your problem, and you're going to have to work that out with professionals."
Immediately, show producer Judd Apatow, who was also on hand during the panel talk, jumped in to defend Dunham and took the journalist to task, Entertainment Weekly reports.
"That was a very clumsily stated question that's offensive on its face, and you should read it and discuss it with other people how you did that," Apatow added. "It's very offensive."
Apatow later discussed the question after the session, calling it "sexist" and "misogynistic."
Controversy notwithstanding, Girls has struck a chord with loyal viewers: Its third season premieres on Sunday, and HBO has already ordered a fourth season of the hit comedy.

Let pine cones roll down the cone lane between moss covered rocks and gnarled spruce trees, swing through the air on the swinging tree, test your courage in the canyons, write a letter to Gogwärgli Schorsch or discover a telephone pipe. Spend active and joyful hours of play tracing the squirrel Brüna, combined with a barbeque at one of the three barbeque places. By the way, Brüna's adventures are also available as a children's book with beautiful illustrations.

7 Things Moms Should Never Post on Facebookpaulabernstein
I mostly use Facebook as a way to reconnect with old friends and to keep in touch with new ones. But, as a mom, I occasionally post status updates about my kids. I've shared photos of my daughters on vacation and on their first day of school, but, in general, I refrain from hogging the newsfeed with updates about my kids. While I enjoy seeing pictures of my friends' kids and hearing what they're up to, I don't need to hear what they're doing every single minute of the day. In fact, I can't stand when moms only post updates about their kids and tell us way more information than we need to know.
Here is my highly subjective list of 7 Things Moms Should Never Post on Facebook:
Laundry 1 of 7Updates on your spin cycle are about as interesting as Farmville alerting us that you've planted 10 new crops of tomatoes. If you've spent all day during laundry, we're impressed (and sympathetic!), but don't want to read about it. (Except for the day you accidentally turn all your clothes pink or fill the basement with soap suds — now THAT'S a story we want to hear.)

Diaper Blow-outs 2 of 7They're explosive and stinky — and nobody likes dealing with them. You can understand that we don't want to read about them, can't you? And we definitely don't want to see photos of them — although this is one case where we're glad Facebook isn't equipped with a Scratch 'n Sniff option.

Snotty Noses 3 of 7You wouldn't save your kids' dirty tissues (uh, right?), so why post them on Facebook? It's okay to let us know that your kids are sick (of course, we care!), but don't feel the need to tell us the gruesome snotty, barfy details. Please keep those to yourself ... or at least call us on the phone!

Potty Training 4 of 7Hooray! I'm so excited for you that little Johnny is finally learning to poop on the potty. But please, don't tell us every time he goes #1 or #2.

What You're Eating (Or Not) 5 of 7You're on a new diet. You are off your new diet. You're snacking on Dorito's. Whether you're a mom or not, nobody needs to know your caloric intake or how much you exercised this morning. (Plus, it's making snacking on these Girl Scout cookies that much harder!)

Your Kid's Love Life 6 of 7It's great that your daughter has met the hunk of her dreams. But there's a good chance she doesn't want her mom blabbing all about her budding romance on Facebook. So please be discrete — and let her spill the juicy details herself!

Your Kid's Grades 7 of 7It's tempting to share the good news that little Jane aced her 3rd grade math test. But don't: we can smell that humble brag from a mile away. But go ahead and post when Jane gets into Harvard!

Does it drive you crazy when moms post TMI on Facebook? Or do you think anything's game when it comes to Facebook?

The GORE Bike Wear Helmet II Cover protects you from exposure to the elements.
The GORE Bike Wear Helmet II Cover keeps your noggin dry on rainy rides. Think of the consequences of exposing your head to cold water for a couple of hours. This waterproof helmet cover protects you from discomfort, or worse. GORE Bike Wear's extremely breathable Gore-Tex Paclite fabric also keeps you from overheating, and packs into a pocket when the rain stops. Reflective taping on the rear of this helmet cover makes you more visible on the road.

Rain don't stop me now...

- Fit: True to size
I live in Washington state where it rains frequently. I purchased this to help keep my head dry. After taking it out for several rides, I feel I can write an accurate review. Even when it's pouring for hours straight it continues to keep me dry. It even keeps my head warm. The medium sized cover fits my Cannondale Ryker helmet perfectly. I would absolutely recommend this product if you want to stay dry.

I have the Specialized S-Works helmet which is slightly different then most bike helmets, will this helmet cover fit properly?
The large should be able to cover the Specialized S-Works helmet. Another option would be to wear the Signature GORE-TEX® cycling cap underneath the helmet.

I also have the new Specialized S-Works Prevail (LOVE IT!), and use Gore's thermo cap underneath (when it's cold/chilly) with no problems at all; plus, it covers better than just a cap on top of the helmet only.
Great product
Everyone should own this.

The fact that Steve Jobs has no trust in set-top box as a device that could revolutionize the TV market makes many people think Apple may decide to build televisions. Well, that may be a reality soon as DailyTech reports that Apple "is teaming up with a major OEM to sell iOS-powered, Apple-branded displays."
According to the former Apple executive who anonymously spoke to DailyTech, Apple plans to bundle Apple TV and iTunes inside physical television sets. The source claims that Apple is teaming up with a major supplier (Samsung?) to provide the physical televisions, which will be rebranded as Apple television sets. The source believed a fall launch was in order, but the product could launch as late as next year.

So far, absentee voting in the 1st Congressional District points toward light turnout for Tuesday's primaries.
Charleston County, the largest of the five counties in the district, has had 787 absentee ballot returned through Thursday, less than half a percent of the 189,611 eligible voters there.
"I want people to come out and vote," said Joe Debney, director of the Charleston County Board of Elections and Voter Registration. "I would like the turnout to be higher."
Charleston is not atypical. Berkeley has had 500 absentee ballot requests, from about 92,000 registered voters, a "very light turnout," Berkeley elections director Wanda Farley said.
Only 430 absentee ballots have been requested so far in Dorchester County, and 308 have been returned. The county has 75,684 eligible voters.
The county is allowing in-person absentee voting at its St. George and Summerville offices through 5 p.m. today, Dorchester elections director Joshua Dickard said. The St. George office will handle in-person absentee voting through 5 p.m. Monday.
The congressional election is seeing a light turnout, but it's not for a lack of choices, with 16 Republicans and two Democrats facing off.
The race began in December when Gov. Nikki Haley appointed then-Rep. Tim Scott to the U.S. Senate vacancy created by Jim DeMint's resignation.
Those who do not vote absentee may go to the polls Tuesday, and the eventual primary winners will face off in a special election on May 7.
Absentee deadlines
The deadline for voting with an in-person absentee ballot (cast at your county election office) is 5 p.m. Monday.
Voters also may get an absentee ballot by mail either by requesting one at scvotes.org or by calling your election office — all such requests must be received by 5 p.m. today.
Once a ballot is received and marked, it must be returned (either in person or by mail) by 7 p.m. Tuesday.
A person may vote absentee for several reasons, including they are 65 or older; they are students attending school in another county; they are in the Armed Forces; they will work election day; they are disabled; they will be on vacation. For the full list of reasons, or to check your voter registration, go to scvotes.org.

I pose to you people a question. The origins of artistic talent in anime (animation) and manga (comic books). Where do you think it manifests from?
Is it:
A) Nature, a Gift, a Natural talent? Genetics. Does it run in your family? Do you have other people in your family who are biologically related to you and creative or creatively intelligent (I have genetic family who is also creative, so I think it's often this one).
B) OR, is it all will power. Is it the result of a learnt and self-taught skill. Did you attain your manga-ka talent through will power alone? Is it all in the practice / hard work?
To you, which one is it, where does the the talent and/or your talent derive from?
If you have drawing talent or skill, which one do you believes makes artists do amazing things more often, A or B? Both A and B can contribute to any particular artist abilities, but is one half of this argument dominent?
Consider this an informal survey I'm conducting for research purposes. Research to improve the knowledge of anyone reading this thread.
and um i think both for artists and b is more dominent =)
hard to say though, I have a mom, a sister and a cousin who are all gifted artistically. But I know a guy who doesn't have an artistic bone in his body except for sheer will power, I mean the guy made himself into an artist. So personally I think it depends on the person, though I do think there is some natural talent for drawing in the persons who do, whether they realise it or not. Love... is just a different kind of pain.

They weren't monkeying around!
German customs officials seized a capuchin monkey from Justin Bieber last Thursday after the singer apparently attempted to bring it into the country without official permission.
"Justin Bieber brought his monkey to Germany, but had no official paperwork with him," Thomas Meister, spokesman for the customs office at the Franz Josef Strauss Airport in Munich, tells PEOPLE. "We were forced to confiscate the animal."
When customs in Munich found the monkey had been brought into the country on Bieber's private plane, they detained the star and quarantined the monkey in their facilities at the airport.
Bieber will reportedly be charged with a fine, and he will have to pay the costs of the quarantine.
A rep for the singer had no comment.
Bieber, who's currently in the midst of his very eventful Believe tour in Europe, is set to perform in Austria on Saturday night, and then continue on for a series of shows in Germany. The European leg of the tour is expected to wind down at the end of April.
In between his concerts, he flew from Poland (where he went shirtless through the airport) to Los Angeles where he briefly reunited with his ex Selena Gomez at her home on Wednesday.

Ha ha! Dorothy will mop up the ice -- I mean the floor -- with these wannabes.
Come on, everybody. Get your finger on the telephone dial to vote for Dorothy. We did it for Kristi and almost did it for Evan!
I am sure Dorothy will have lots of support from skaters, fans and the general public as she is well known. Although she is in good shape, she is approaching 57 years of age this July and the competition at DWTS is grueling, so expecting her to win might be wishful thinking, but I wish her good luck and look forward to watching her progress at DWTS.
I just heard about this! So excited for Dorothy! Some of my friends even think she's still competing.
The good news is that DWTS is less a "real" dance competition and more of a popularity contest, so our Dorothy has a fighting chance
No, no! Her posture and carriage alone will sweep all before it! I can't wait to see her Viennese waltz.
57 is the new 27.
I will be watching and voting for Dorothy. This is not one of my favorite shows but I watched and voted for Kristi, Evan and Shawn.
Now I have a reason to watch again. GO Dorothy! Oh I see Ally Raisman will be dancing too!
I love DWTS, and I'll be so excited to see Dorothy. I wonder whether she's kept up some sort of training regimen so she can really do herself proud. It'll be nice to see one of the Fierce Five as well. One of the little Disney Channel kids is there as well, and she's sure to be good.
Not a big fan of DWTS, but I am a HUGE fan of DH! I'll be watching.
My first Olympic champion! (That I remember winning)
Dorothy doing Vioxx & osteoarthritis awareness ads.

I haven't posted for awhile (lurking-). But, I had to resurface to cheer for Dorothy. Well, my screen name says it all! She's the reason I started to love figure skating- I had the Seventeen magazine with her on the cover! I haven't watched DWTS since Evan competed, but I have to watch and vote for Dorothy. America needs to take her far!!
Good to see you back 76olympics!

The photo of Maia and Aly on the ice together is darling. Prob. from December when they were hanging out at the taping of the Skating/Gymnastics Spectacular?
And if I recall correctly, Hamill still skates in shows once in a while. I think the most recent example was within the last few months, although I do not remember the details.

From Kearneysville:
I would like to thank the person who found my debit card and turned it into the Walmart store in Martinsburg. It is great to know there are special people around who are honest. Thank you.
From Martinsburg:
This election was not about the wealthy. It was about our freedom, so ALL can achieve and prosper. This president's policies are hurting our economy, and many turn a blind eye to his actions.
From Martinsburg:
Thank you to the three strangers who stopped and asked if I needed help when my car unexpectedly broke down Sunday near Opequon Lane, and an extra special thank you to the man who pushed me out of the middle of the road. My daughter and I are very thankful for your kindness. In my moment of panic, I did not even get your name, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
From Martinsburg:
Please, everyone, the Senior Christmas trees at Walgreens, Kmart and Bob Evans still have names on them to be picked! My husband and I each picked a name and spent Saturday shopping for the things that the recipients listed. No, we are NOT rich by any means! We are retired and on a fixed income, but this is so important to them and will be very appreciated.
From Inwood:
The traffic by Exit 12 is a nightmare! The lights aren't timed properly all the way back to the intersection with U.S. 11/W.Va. 9. So when the lights are green, you can't go anywhere. There is too much traffic and nowhere for it to go.
From Martinsburg:
No, Hedgesville, what we learned from the recent election is that a majority of "Americans" now prefer dependency and subservience to self sufficiency and individual liberty. The election was about capitalism versus communism, and communism won. Enjoy your freedom while you still can and if you have children and grandchildren, pray for them.
From Martinsburg:
Let me attempt to educate the caller from Martinsburg. There's a difference between making a false prediction and lying. Yes, there were some contributors interviewed on Fox prior to the election that predicted Mitt Romney to win. To you Obama Kool-Aid drinkers, that doesn't mean Fox News lies, but that its coverage is fair and balanced, something you obviously aren't used to and are shocked by.
From Martinsburg:
To the person who is ashamed of their Republican Party: I am a Democrat, and I am thoroughly ashamed of my party! They are godless baby killers, and all they want is a free handout! They are nothing like they once were.
From Kearneysville:
I wish the city of Ranson would actually decorate the Christmas tree. Instead, they make it look like a circus tent. I don't know about you, but it doesn't feel like Christmas to me, looking at a circus tent.
From Hedgesville:
Thank you very much for switching the advice column to Dear Abby. It is so much better than the other one.
From Berkeley County:
Enjoyed the new Dear Abby today. It's Jeanne Phillips, and I hope she's going to be permanent because she's right on the ball with her answers.
From Martinsburg:
I just wanted you to know that I agree very much with Mr. Glover. We need to get away from communism, which we're headed for, and get back to the Bible and the Lord, Jesus Christ.
From Gerrardstown:
In reference to the caller from Bunker Hill: I would like to let them know that if they don't like it here, please go back to the D.C. area because we don't want you here anyway.
From Martinsburg:
I wonder who will be the first victim to be hit by a car in front of the new Olive Garden. As I went through there today, I saw cars not looking at the stop sign but going straight through. There needs to be some type of warning to the fact that there is a stop sign.
From Pikeside:
We need to create jobs. We can't overtax the job creators. This from the same people in Washington, D.C., who help send our jobs overseas, by giving companies tax credits with the American peoples' money, to move those companies overseas. Isn't it a crazy world?

High school football teams can begin spring practice on Monday, starting their journeys for the 2014 season.
On Red Bank Road, Goose Creek High School coach Chuck Reedy said the Gators are aiming for the top of the mountain– again.
"Our expectations are very high and we embrace the fact that we are expected to compete for the championship every year," Reedy said.
Last season, the Gators were 12-0 before getting stunned in the second round of the Class AAAA playoffs by South Pointe.
"The way that last season ended was very disappointing," Reedy said, "but the work ethic exhibited by our players is the best that I have seen since the 2011 team. We have some outstanding returning players and are looking for some young players to step up."
GCHS last won the state title in 2011.
The Gators are slated to wrap up spring drills on May 21 with a scrimmage.
Reedy said he expects the Gators to be very explosive on offense again. Goose Creek has topped 2,500 points over the last four seasons, a total of 55 games.
The Gators have to replace Dantez Bennamon at quarterback but have 2013 backup Dominique Jefferson and West Ashley transfer Pedro Manigault waiting in the wings.
Running backs Caleb Kinlaw (Wisconsin) and Evan McField (The Citadel) have moved on too. Rising senior Tyrik Johnson returns after rushing for 1,147 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Speedy receiver Deondre' Daniels will be a senior. He had 34 grabs for 610 yards last season.
Defensively, rising senior linebacker K.J. Wood is the top tackler returning. He had 119 total stops. Outside linebacker Maurice Bonneau-Gaillard made 88 stops.
"Defensively, we are big and talented up front but need to find a couple linebackers," Reedy said.
• The Gators are currently selling ads for their football program to help raise money for the season-opening trip to Ohio.
Anyone interested can contact Reedy at (843) 797-0871.

Shit, I am not going down that street, there are fucking Moon Crickets everywhere.
Por TickleTits 05 de mayo de 2004
Used as a deragatory term for a black person. Similar to porch monkey, nigger, or coon.
Some moon cricket must have stole it!
Por dingraha 31 de octubre de 2007
racial slur for an african american male.
Those damn moon crickets play they're music all through the night!
Por John Spurlock 28 de marzo de 2005
Black people that come out at night to raise hell and make alot of noise, like crickets after you turn off the lights to go to sleep thats when they come out.
Damn the fuckin moon crickets.They woke me up with all their fucking loud ass noise.
Por beerad 25 de marzo de 2006
Derogotory term for "colored people". Basically the same as saying Nigger
Dude...look at those mooncrickets in that back alley playing dice.

They were sitting on a gold mine and didn't know it
February 12, 2013
A lot of rural landowners in Pennsylvania were sitting on a gold mine. They just didn't know it....
Aside from the over building of hotels that will be eyesores in 20 years and filthy roadways full of debris. If someone wants to renovate an existing vacant building and build high end units I do not see an issue with that at all. Displacing people for greed is not ok. Thankfully some major players locally have chosen not to displace locals and still offer affordable housing. This has allowed some younger non-gas people to stay in an area devoid of professional opportunities. Those property owners deserve credit for not doubling rent amd displacing hundreds of people tied to the community.

There are many costs of this industry that are not factored into the actual cost of the natural gas. But as long as the sheep listen to those getting rich, this will never change. There is no energy independence, there are no large quantities of good jobs and there is little economic benefit being seen by this area. All we get are a few folks who have gained monetarily, and that will allow them to farm their farms into the ground for another 30 years before this money is gone, and by that time the state will be a pathetic wasteland and the industry will move on to another host area, just like the parasite that it is. We have our politicians to thank for this. They and the greedy corporations that are willing to take advantage of us idiots.

I just saw a billboard on 220 Southbound yesterday advertising 1 bedroom apartments for $1100. Greatly increased housing costs are another casualty of the gas industry.

"In fact, critics of the industry say the gas drilling impact is grossly overstated. Don't tell that to those getting the royalty payments." What about the vast majority of PA residents who do not get royalty payments, but who must still deal with the impact drilling has on their lives? For example, we had our well tested so we would have a baseline in case our water was affected by local drilling. For us, the drilling has been a cost, not a benefit. And what if we find that our land is less valuable to potential buyers looking for a scenic rural location? These are just two examples. I am sure others have more.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California Senate is sending Gov. Jerry Brown a bill to preserve a 45-year-old agreement with Nevada governing the sensitive environment in and around Lake Tahoe.
The scenic lake straddles the California-Nevada state line in the high Sierra and is a major tourist draw.
SB630 ratifies a revised bistate Tahoe Regional Planning Compact, duplicating a bill already signed into law by Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval.
Nevada had threatened to withdraw from the compact in 2010 in a dispute over how the states decided on conservation protection.
State officials reached a compromise to amend the compact to require that the agency that enforces the compact takes economic considerations into account. In return, Nevada agreed to remain in the compact.
California senators approved the bill Tuesday, 37-0. It already had gained Assembly approval.

EMA missed deadline for federal grant
March 2, 2013
LISBON — There will be no federal Homeland Security money for the Columbiana County Emergency Management Agency in 2013 because the EMA missed the filing deadline....
Missed deadline or not eligble? I said months ago that grant money was missed because of the games played at the county level. I doubt Dillard had all the requirements along with other newer employees to be grant qualified. Now we have a Director who can be called back to duty on a moments notice and leave the office admin to run things. We have many months until the new guy can even be close to grant status. Nice try, but there are those of us who can see right through the spin. Wait till the June fed test.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Metabolomics is a member of an unruly menagerie of omics creatures, whose pedigrees trace back to the grandfather of all omics-genomics. Omics is now defined as an all-encompassing study of some area of the biological sciences. This includes what appears to be great stretches of linguistic invention as well as a vast capacity for broad generalization such as the speechome, the exposome, and the metallome.
Currently, there is great interest in metabolomics, which is defined as the comprehensive set of low molecular weight metabolites comprising a biological sample—such as a single organism, a group such as a population of individuals or a species—and the interactions that drive the system and provide its dynamic collection of interactions.
To invest some order to its study and evaluation, investigators at the Universities of Alberta and Calgary recently completed the first draft of the human metabolome, consisting of approximately 2,500 metabolites. This ome, or totality of the metabolome, is available at the Human Metabolome Database. It is far from complete, however, so it can be called an ome only in a partial or a relative sense.
In contrast, much more is known about the metabolomes of other organisms, especially plants. Metabolomics is quite a different undertaking from proteomics or genomics, in which one characterizes the actual genetic makeup of a living system.
The metabolome could represent drugs and other exogenous agents and an army of small molecules whose presence will change radically reflecting the particular metabolic and environmental state of the subject. The biochemical charts of metabolic pathways that identify the thousands of intermediates across the cell and their relative levels form the blueprint of the metabolome.
The state of field will be discussed at the Metabolomics Society's annual meeting in Boston this month. Some of the speakers gave GEN a preview of their presentations.
"In all stages of biomarker discovery, it is extremely important to know the identities of differentially expressed metabolic components as compared to viewing them solely as statistical objects," states Robert Mistrik, Ph.D., and CEO at HighChem, who will discuss the challenges posed by structural profiling of endogenous metabolites.
Metabolic profiling, a widely used tool today, compares two groups of individuals —a sample of normal controls and a matched group of diseased individuals. Scanning the levels of many metabolites, profiles for individuals can be obtained and differences noted between the various groups. Consistent alterations in metabolite expression can reveal significant features of a disease process not obtainable through other approaches.
The company's main thrust is the development of software solutions for crunching complex analytical data. The analysis is aimed at low molecular weight substances, that is, nonpeptide or proteinaceous materials. Other areas of interest include comprehensive libraries of fragmentation knowledge and experimental spectral data.
Much of the company's efforts involve the development of an accurate mass search tool for analyzing structural libraries. The traditional approaches adopted by HighChem include spectra searches against reference libraries, multivariate pattern-recognition methods, biochemical pathway analysis, and direct spectra interpretation.
To facilitate this analysis, HighChem is pursuing an extension of its spectral library of endogenous metabolites referred to as spectral trees, according to Dr. Mistrik. Mass spectrometers are usually coupled to either liquid chromatography or gas chromatography devices, which yield data with divergent properties resulting from the different features of the two separation technologies.
HighChem software allows the spectral trees to be reconstructed from data files, extracting and comparing informative data from both LC and GC characterization. "It is possible to store and search trees in libraries, to annotate every node spectrum or to create chromatographic libraries with spectral tree components," states Dr. Mistrik.
One of the important collaborative efforts that HighChem is involved in is the METAcancer project, a large consortium currently investigating breast cancer in the EU. The company is investigating new biomarkers for early detection of breast cancer as part of the project.
Metabolon is developing diagnostic tests based on metabolomic profiling for prostate cancer, diabetes, and other diseases, according to Jeffrey Shuster, Ph.D., director of diagnostics development. The company has built a platform using gas and liquid chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry for identification of metabolic differences between normal and affected individuals. Ideally, the populations should be balanced with respect to age, sex, race, diet, and lifestyle, although in the real world this may not always be possible.
"Through metabolomics, we believe that we can bring new diagnostics to market faster and more efficiently by sidestepping much of the research effort required to characterize new markers by traditional methods," Dr. Shuster explains.
Metabolon is also focused on prostate cancer. The company is developing profiles that will discriminate normal and cancer-ridden individuals on the basis of metabolites in urine and serum and also analyze the differences between indolent and aggressive tumors among the positive cases.
The primary goal of the project is to reduce the number of biopsies that are performed while at the same time producing a more accurate diagnosis. Another goal is to produce metabolic profiles that ascertain the level of aggressivity.

A major is an area of specialization within the degree. Students may complete more than one major at the same time but may not complete more than one degree at the same time. For a student completing two majors, or a major and minor, or any other combination of majors and minors, courses that are required for both majors/minors may be used to simultaneously fulfill requirements for both, but elective courses may be used in only one major or minor, unless a policy allowing double-counting of elective courses is stated in the catalog description of the major/minor. This is informally referred to as "double-dipping."
Information about combining two Gore School of Business majors may be obtained from the Gore School of Business or the Office of the Registrar.
Students may choose two majors, one that leads to a B.A., and one that leads to a B.S., but may receive only one degree. The first-listed major on the graduation application determines the degree awarded.

SCE Federal Credit Union Partners with Local High School to Aid Students in Need
Starting August 1, donations are being accepted at local SCE Federal Credit Union branches, all proceeds support Western High School's low-income studentsJul 31, 2012 | News & Press
Contact: PCGCampbell Eric Garner 310.224.4957
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (July 31, 2012) –SCE Federal Credit Union is encouraging its members and the general public to come bearing gifts. From Aug. 1 - 31, the credit union will be collecting school supplies and money at its Las Vegas-area branches to support Western High School's underprivileged students.
"Every student deserves to have the proper learning tools at their disposal to succeed in the classroom," says Sue Longson, Vice President of Business Development & Community Relations for SCE Federal Credit Union. "This supplies drive is only the beginning of our partnership with Western High. We plan to conduct in-class financial literacy workshops, a 'sparkle and shine' personal necessities drive in October, and help curb the dropout rate by serving on Western's 'Reclaim Your Future' task force, which goes door-to-door encouraging high-risk students to finish school."
Western High is classified as a Title l school, due to the high number of low-income students enrolled. In 2011, Western qualified for federal School Improvement grants and has since introduced a curriculum focused on science, technology, engineering and math.
"We're fortunate to partner with an organization with such a great track record in the local communities they serve," said Beverly Mason, Assistant Director of the Clark County School District's School-Community Partnership Program. "With SCE Federal Credit Union's backing, we hope to continually improve our students' educational opportunities, participation and performance."
SCE FCU has been supporting residents of Southern California for 60 years and in 2011, moved into Southern Nevada. SCE FCU's foundation, established in 2005 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3), contributed more than $30,000 and 1,000 volunteer hours to community efforts last year alone.
School supplies/donations can be dropped off at:
SCE FCU - Sahara Branch
SCE FCU - Southwest Branch
SCE FCU - Ryan Branch
SCE FCU - Henderson Branch
"The simple donation of a calculator, a three-ring binder or a pack of pencils can make a significant impact on students' education," says Longson. "It's about helping put local kids in a position to succeed."
The SCE FCU Foundation is a non profit 501(c)(3) charitable agency whose mission is to educate underserved youth and families in the principles of personal finance. The foundation partners with schools and community organizations in Southern California and Southern Nevada to offer financial education, assistance, and improvement programs, giving people the power to make better financial choices and achieve an improved quality of life.
SCE Federal Credit Union was founded in 1952 and currently has nearly 50,000 members, $560 million in assets, several Southern California and Southern Nevada branch locations, thousands of shared branch locations across the United States and nearly 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs available to members. SCE FCU serves all of Southern California and Southern Nevada, with membership open to individuals and businesses. SCE FCU is a not-for-profit entity committed to improving the financial well-being of the communities it serves, especially those underserved by mainstream financial institutions. With a strong commitment to volunteerism, employees donate hundreds of hours to local community causes each year. Additionally, the creation of the SCE FCU Foundation provides much-needed financial education to the underserved in Southern Nevada and Southern California.

text: The MWDN has an editorial today that discussed the extent to which low wage workers are actually subsidized by the tax payer. The paper came close to the epiphany long ago experienced by intelligent people–because the government is willing to give out welfare to everyone, the government has driven down hourly wages because employers know that government will fill the gap. The solution to falling wages in the service sector� is to cut government programs and taxes. Simple really.

Would an increased police presence help ease automobile accidents on I-81?
Also something most people don't know, there is a magical little stick on the left side of your steering column that when pushed down or up makes lights on the outside of your vehicle flash to advise other motorist which direction you are turning.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Most accidents I see happen are because people are not paying attention and I would put money down that these accidents happening on 81 are from idiots on their phones. I also totally agree that people who drive too slow should get ticketed. If you can't get your vehicle up to speed you shouldn't be on the highway or any road for that matter.

You can't enforce people into being responsible for their behavior.

Enforce below-the-limit!! I have more problems w/ people entering 81 at 45 m.p.h!!! Trained driver's would help. ENTER AT THE SPEED LIMIT MORONS!!! If you don't like it -- take back and side roads.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I'm actually surprised speed traps don't cause more accidents than they stop when you see how hard people brake from 75 to 55 and make knee jerk moves to avoid a ticket. Or if the cop is patrolling, it just makes everyone slow TOO far down and bottleneck and cause people to get rear ended. 81 is somehow just a trap with all the trucks, construction, etc.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The constructiion has been ongoing for over a year...maybe two? All during that time we were told enforcement options were limited because there were few places to pull over violators. What's changed?
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Might help. Probably would not hurt at the very least.
5 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This definately needs done. I will go one further and say there should be a long term taskforce set up with state and county officers to bust all the drugs coming in to the area. Maybe also get PA,MD,and VA officals involved too. Also this could be implemented on US Rt 340 in MD,VA and WV.
