This pattern includes both the shawl and a "choli" top.
Cholis are tight fitting Indian tops that are worn under saris. They can be very simple or very elaborate. They are characterized by a decorative border on the bottom of the body and the sleeves.
This twinset starts with a short-sleeved top that is inspired by an Indian choli. It is fitted through the use of a ribbed lace on the bottom of the body and the sleeves. The beading is optional. The lace causes gentle scallops around the bottom of the border. Larger sizes have more purl sts between the lace panels making it very easy to upsize or alter to in-between sizes. The choli is reversible in that the lower neckline can be worn to the back or the front. Fashionable cholis in India frequently have very low-cut back necks.
The other piece of this twin set is a rectangular shawl that uses the same lace stitch pattern. The shawl is worked in the same weight of the yarn but on a much larger needle. The shawl has a simple rectangular shape continuing the choli theme. A rectangular cover-up called a dupatta or chunni is used all over northern India.
Shawl - Chart B pattern (17 sts) = 6" (blocked)

Avalon Theatre looks to future with auction of vintage gear
Bay View residents may be having dinner and a movie flanked by gaudy vaudeville architecture and twinkling lights on the ceiling of the historic Avalon Theatre by Thanksgiving, said Lee Barczak, the Avalon's owner, at a news conference Friday.
An online auction of vintage theater items this week, including a wall-sized hand-painted Spanish mural and original seating from the theater's vaudeville days, is paving the way for $2 million in renovations, Barczak said. The renovations will transform the space, which at one time had a seating permit for up to 2,300 people, into two modern theaters with 240 and 80 seats, respectively, and in-theater dinner and bar service, while leaving vaudevillian facades of the original Avalon intact. Renovations could start in a month and a half after bids are finalized and awarded. A rendering could be ready in two months. »Read Full Article(8)

Milwaukee Chamber Theater's 'Waiting,' MAM After Dark party; the Retzer Howl-O-Ween
Wait no more
Not everything comes to those who wait, or, at least not till waiting seems to be all they do. A couple find themselves in that situation in Kimberly Megna Yarnall's play "Waiting." This couple's quest for a child isn't as easy as the pair — who sometimes eat out of cans because it's quicker — expected. The Milwaukee Chamber Theatre will give a reading of the Madison-based playwright's show at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Skylight Bar & Bistro, on the second floor of the Broadway Theatre Center, 158 N. Broadway. Tickets are "pay-what-you-can" for this performance which is part of the Montgomery Davis Play Development Series. »Read Full Article

Trinity Classical Academy finally picked up a plaque.
But it wasn't the one the school was hoping for.
After losing 47-40 to Rio Hondo Prep in the CIF-Southern Section Division VI championship game on March 2 in Santa Ana, the Knights collected the runner-up plaque.
Their faces said it all.
For a sports program that has been building and building toward a CIF title, this was a hard pill to swallow.
However, it marked another season in which the school got closer to winning the big plaque — the one that says "champion."
Trinity won league championships, again, and had significant accomplishments — including bringing wrestling back to the Santa Clarita Valley.
So overall, it could be considered the best athletic year the school has had.
It started in the fall with the football team winning its first Heritage League title on Oct. 27 in a dominant 54-14 win over Lancaster Baptist.
In 2011, Trinity's 8-man football team won the Omega League, but moved into a more competitive league for 2012.
The Knights made it to their second straight CIF-Southern Section Division II 8-man semifinals, but lost 46-28 to 8-man power Joshua Springs.
Trinity football was the only team with an All-CIF Player of the Year as quarterback Dakota Prochnow was named the All-Division II 8-Man Offensive Most Valuable Player.
Three of Prochnow's teammates made All-CIF, with junior Spencer Klehn being named to the Offensive Team and juniors Patch Kulp and Eli Skorich being named to the Defensive Team.
Speaking of athletes, it wasn't so much team success on the girls side as much as it was individual success for the year.
Volleyball had its star athlete in Julia Howell, softball had a pair of big performers in Emily Kim and Howell and swim had Mykaela Delgado.
Delgado is quickly becoming the school's most recognizable student athlete with her performances in the pool.
On May 10, she finished third in the CIF-SS Division IV 200-yard freestyle race and sixth in the 100 free.
Trinity baseball suffered a letdown toward the end of its season and finished in second place in the Heritage League.
The Knights lost in the first round of the Division VII playoffs, but Chris Buchanan was selected as the Heritage Pitcher of the Year.
Another special accomplishment was made by the Trinity wrestling team, which became the first team of its sport to compete in the Santa Clarita Valley since the late 1970s.
On Dec. 20, Trinity lost 42-18 to Faith Baptist, but got three pins from Donny MacAdam, Kasey Klar and Erik Ohl.
Around the same time, the boys basketball team was beginning its march.
With seven freshmen and four sophomores and only one junior and one senior, the Knights basketball team knocked off Southwestern Academy, Hope Centre, Valley Christian Academy and Joshua Springs before meeting Rio Hondo Prep in the Division VI finals.
All-CIF players Spencer Klehn and Ryan Brooks were minimized by Rio Hondo.
But the Knights were invited to the Division V state tournament, where they became the first Santa Clarita Valley boys basketball to play beyond the divisional championship since Hart High in 2005.
Then they went out and beat Tranquility High 63-49 in Fresno County on March 6 before eventually seeing their season end with a 52-33 loss to Horizon High in San Diego three nights later.
But Trinity is closer than ever to that CIF championship thanks to this basketball team.
Football has quite a run of success also.
And who knows what other things the school has in store for the future?
Things are looking bright.

UNIVERSITY PARK - While the national media predicted doom and gloom for Penn State in the wake of the NCAA sanctions last year, statewide reporters covering the Nittany Lions had higher expectations.
Most, in the Mirror's annual survey of reporters on media day in 2012, predicted the Lions would go 7-5, and Bill O'Brien's team surprised some by going 8-4. If they hadn't started slow, with frustrating losses to Ohio University and Virginia in the first two games, the Lions could have gone 10-2.
In a survey of 23 reporters at Thursday's media day, the overwhelming pick was for the Lions to again go 8-4. Fifteen media members went with 8-4, while four predicted 9-3 and four went with 7-5. For the record, of the four Mirror reporters, three different records were predicted.
Many in the survey said there were big questions about the quarterback position, where junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson and blue-chip recruit Christian Hackenberg are battling to start after the graduation of Matt McGloin, as well as depth on the defensive line and at linebacker.
In addition to McGloin, the Lions also lost linebackers Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges, who were both drafted by the Minnesota Vikings, defensive tackle Jordan Hill, drafted by the Seattle Seahawks, and fullback Michael Zordich. Mauti and Zordich were the most vocal players after the NCAA handed out the sanctions.
There are advantages, though, the survey says, as 1,000-yard rusher Zach Zwinak and heralded redshirt freshman running back Akeel Lynch, return, as does leading receiver Allen Robinson, talented tight ends like Jesse James, offensive guard John Urshel, defensive end and Big Ten Freshman of the Year Deion Barnes and safety Adrian Amos are among those returning for the 2013 season.
One of the other keys is the kicking game, and not many figured Sam Ficken would struggle so much early on, including his nightmarish game against Virginia. Ficken came on toward the end of the season, and his success could be key early as new guys get used to their roles.
Games against Michigan (Oct. 12), Ohio State (Oct. 26), Nebraska (Nov. 23) and Wisconsin (Nov. 23) weighed heavily in the predictions. The reporters gave reasons to support their picks, which you can read below. Last year only four predicted 8-4.
The picks
Philip Cmor, Altoona Mirror - Record: 9-3. Comment: "You've got a couple potential missteps there, but I think that they have eight pretty solid wins. With the playmakers they have like Robinson, Amos on defense and guys like Zwinak, and with the coaching staff and their ability to come up with something, I honestly think they can steal one from those four games people are predicting them to lose."
Cory Giger, Altoona Mirror - Record: 8-4. Comment: "I think there's enough talent on offense at all the positions to where the quarterback won't have to carry the entire burden. I do have some concerns more defensively, which is unusual for Penn State, but I think with O'Brien's offensive mindset, they'll be able to score enough to win eight games."
Todd Irwin, Altoona Mirror - Record: 7-5. Comment: "I'm not sure there are leaders like Mauti, Zordich, Hodges and McGloin in camp, and it might be hard to maintain that us-against-the-world attitude. There's obvious questions at QB and defensive depth, but Zwinak, Robinson and Jesse James on offense and Deion Barnes and Adrian Amos on defense are big advantages."
Neil Rudel, Altoona Mirror: Record: 8-4. Comment: "I think it's a middle of the road pick. I think the road schedule, even games at Indiana and at Minnesota, will not be automatic with the young quarterback, let alone games in Columbus and Madison."
Bill Albright, Billy Boy Sports - Record: 8-4. Comment: "I think a lot will depend on the quarterback. You just heard O'Brien say you've got two kids that are really competitive, really skilled, but neither one of them has taken a snap under center at Penn State. They have four outstanding tight ends. I think if they stay relatively healthy and a couple kids step, 8-4 is a realistic thing."
Mark Brennan, FightOnState.com - Record: 8-4. Comment: "As I look at the schedule, it's pretty clear the teams they'll be favored to beat and the ones that will be favored against them. I wouldn't be surprised they lose one they're supposed to win and win one they're supposed to lose. The real big key is staying healthy. If they get a couple key injuries, things could go south in a hurry. But if they stay healthy, I think they're 8-4."
Ben Brigandi, Williamsport Sun-Gazette - Record: 9-3. Comment: "I really don't think it matters that much who the quarterback is going to be because of the returning talent around him. I feel like whoever it is going to be in a better position to succeed under this regime."
Jon Christoff, The (Clearfield) Progress - Record: 9-3. Comment: "I think the team overall is going to be stronger physically this year because of the offseason training program. I think that will translate into another win or two, potentially. There are some question marks defensively replacing [Michael] Mauti and [Gerald] Hodges. That being said 9-3 isn't out of the realm of possibility."
Neil Corbett, Wilkes-Barre Citizen's Voice sports editor emeritus - Record: 7-5. Comment: "Depth will be a concern because of the cutdown in scholarships, but I think O'Brien will have them ready."
Andy Elder, The Associated Press - Record: 8-4. Comment: "They should sweep the non-conference [schedule], and I think there are a lot of winnable games on there, but I'm not sure if they have the depth of talent to compete with the elite in the conference."
Fran Fisher, retired Penn State radio play-by-play - Record: 8-4. Comment: "It's an interesting year. In one respect, it's a tough act to follow. In another, O'Brien has a year under his belt."
Bob Flounders, Harrisburg Patriot-News - Record: 8-4. Comment: "You could make a case for 9-3, but with the depth issues and the fact they're going to break in a young quarterback, I wouldn't be surprised they lost a game in the first four that surprised fans. I think they're going to play their best football in the second half [of the season]. They can't get a lot of injuries on defense, especially at linebacker."
Phil Grosz, BlueWhite Illustrated - Record: 8-4. Comment: "I think it depends on injuries. I'm not convinced that Penn State can't do what they did last year and go 8-4. I think people are putting too attention on the quarterbacks. I don't think you're going to see Bill O'Brien, with all the skill people that surround Hackenberg or Ferguson, throw 440 passes like he did with Matt McGloin. I think you're going to see a more balanced offensive attack."
Travis Johnson, Centre Daily Times - Record: 8-4. Comment: "I think they've got a lot of experience coming back. I think their offense will be pretty good and score a lot of points. Their defense isn't questionable, but they can't afford to suffer an injury. They don't have the linebackers that have the experience. They don't have the defensive line guys that have the experience.
Jacob Kaucher, WTAJ-TV - Record: 8-4. Comment: "I think they've got some pretty tough Big Ten games. Their non-conference schedule isn't the easiest, but it's not particularly difficult either. I've been telling people all summer [they have] top talent, and their starters are as good as anybody else's in the conference, but it's a matter of staying healthy."
Matt Maisel, WJAC-TV - Record: 8-4. Comment: "I went with 7-5 last year, and they proved me wrong. So, they have my expectations raised. Whoever starts at quarterback, whether it be Christian Hackenberg or Tyler Ferguson, I think both of those guys, at least going from what Coach O'Brien was saying, can have a handle of the offense and are going to be OK. I don't expect them to have the same type of slow start as last year now that everybody has a year under the Bill O'Brien system."
Walt Moody, Centre Daily Times - Record: 9-3. Comment: "It will obviously be interesting to see how the new quarterbacks perform. I would say certainly Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska and Wisconsin are obviously going to be the toughest teams on the schedule."
Chris Morelli, Centre County Gazette - Record: 8-4. Comment: "There's some questions marks along both sides of the ball. My concern is, not only the quarterback position, which you're looking at somebody brand new, but also the defense. There are so many stars they have to replace. Depth is, obviously, key. If there's an injury, it could be crushing. I think O'Brien will get them going, and the schedule is built for success, especially early on."
Greg Pickel, FightOnState.com - Record: 7-5. Comment: "I wonder if one of those non-conference games is going to be a little tricky. I think Ohio State is a tough game. I think Michigan is a tough game. We all know what Nebraska and Wisconsin have back. I think this is a team that will be very interesting to see."
Jeff Rice, Lions 247 - Record: 8-4. Comment: "I think the defense should be pretty solid. They've got some questions with their defensive line depth and linebacker depth, but the secondary should be pretty good. I don't the quarterbacks will be as productive as McGloin was last year, but I don't think either one will be a disaster. The running game will be good. The receivers are good."
Rich Scarcella, Reading Eagle - Record: 8-4. Comment: "Much, of course, depends on the quarterback, whoever that is, and how quickly he progresses. Other big factors are injuries and depth. I think they have enough talent at other positions, so 8-4 and finishing second in the Leaders Divisions are realistic goals."
Andy Stine, The (Clearfield) Progress - Record: 8-4. Comment: "If the quarterbacks progress even better than we think they will, that could even bring them one more win. The schedule early on is definitely favorable for them."
Mark Wogenrich, Allentown Morning Call - Record: 7-5. Comment: "I think there's going to be injuries we don't know about yet, situations we don't know about yet, where they're going to be juggling players in positions, and they might not have the gas to finish."

Açaì Sorbet Recipe
By Melaina Gasbarrino | March 23, 2012
The heat does something to us all. It makes us not only happier as the winter blues are hopefully past us now, but it gets us to eat healthier, slim down, and pull out the flip flops and bikinis. This is one of those perfect, easy sorbets to make on one of the many hot spring days that are to follow the recent beautiful weather.
Acai, a berry that grows on acai palm trees in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil, is becoming widely popular in the States. This berry is one of those 'superfoods' we're all filling up on and rightfully so can be called a superfood with all of the nutritional benefits attached to it. Not only is this berry high in antioxidants, and nutrients but promotes weight loss, gives you an energy boost and supports your immune system.
And the best part of making this icy treat? You don't need an ice cream maker to do it! Read More

Some GOP lawmakers now flout anti-tax man Norquist
WASHINGTON -- For decades, conservative lobbyist Grover Norquist vowed to drive Republicans out of office if they didn't pledge to oppose tax increases. Many lawmakers signed on.
But now, several senior Republicans are breaking ranks, willing to consider raising more money through taxes as part of a deal with Democrats to avoid a catastrophic budget meltdown.
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker said the only pledge he will keep is his oath of office. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said no one in his home state of Virginia is talking about what leaders in Washington refer to simply as "The Pledge," a Norquist invention that dates to 1986. Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss said he cares more about his country than sticking to Norquist's pledge.
It's quite an about-face for senior members of a party that long has stood firmly against almost any notion of tax increases.
Norquist, the head of the conservative Americans for Tax Reform, opposes tax increases of any kind, whether eliminating deductions or raising rates. He has insisted on hard-line positions from lawmakers. His pledge doesn't allow any change to the tax code that adds a dollar to revenues.

I've noticed a trend - it's only taken half a lifetime - but I tend to "drink the Kool-Aid" pretty quickly when I've found something I want to run with for a touchdown.
Except there are rarely any touchdowns. Hail Marys? Yes. A fairly decent amount of yardage from a running game? Sure. Some strong offensive passing efforts? Yup. But there are also fumbles, interceptions and penalties.
For example, around my mid-20s, I began seeking evolution - I wanted to change, improve myself, be a better me tomorrow than I was today. That coincided perfectly with the self-help book genre, which had been gaining ground since "I'm OK, You're OK" became a bestseller in 1972.
Article Photos
In trying to understand who I was, why I was, and how to get along with others, I read books on various topics, including meditation books with daily inspirational messages. I devoured the "Conversations with God" trilogy, Marianne Williamson's spiritual wisdom and scads of others all answering life's deep questions.
After reading "The Why You Are Here Cafe," I gave a copy to family members at Christmas figuring it would have the same transformative effect on them. Not quite.
I pretty much believe "The Secret" and Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" are the gospel but find I frequently can't recall all the laws and principles from these or the other 80 or so books I've read.
Another strong theme running through my betterment project was improved health, including weight loss. It began with "Stop the Insanity" followed by "Make the Connection: 10 Steps to a Better Body and a Better Life," and nearly every Geneen Roth book including "When You Eat at the Refrigerator, Pull Up a Chair." Good information abounded, but didn't stem the daily desire for mint chocolate chip ice cream.
I bought "The Atkins Diet," giving it a halfhearted read and try. No surprise it was a dismal failure, plus I really had never been excited about dieting in case that's unclear.
My ever-pragmatic husband watched my efforts for discovery with barely disguised wariness. He not only isn't plagued with food cravings (well, maybe fried chicken), but he is one of those guys who goes about things in a methodical way. You want to lose weight? Cut calories. You want to stop eating chocolate? Just stop.
Unfortunately, these tactics don't come easy to me or 97 percent of the population. This is how I know my husband is a mutant, an anomaly, not of this world.
He also likes to burst my bubbles - not for the sake of meanness or arrogance, but because that's how his brain functions. When I get going on a topic and think I have all the answers, he starts questioning me to see if I have investigated the flip side. Well of course not. I don't want to know the opposing views; I'm looking for the answer to be right!
So I'd read, implement (sometimes) and then fail. I did get slimmer and stronger after "Body for Life for Women" in 2005 but couldn't hang onto it for long.
I'd almost given up my self-help leanings when I plucked "Skinny Bitch" off the bookstore shelf. It was a strange read with a berating tone, but I couldn't help but agree with most of it.
After nearly giving up, I stumbled across "The Sugar Addict's Total Recovery Program" at a yard sale and ended up jumping in whole hog. I quit eating sugar for three straight years following the suggested steps even though some were flat-out strange. Unfortunately, I was still sick all the time - and fat - despite many efforts, online classes, and conventional wisdom.
By this time, I was starting to get eye rolls and "crazy lady" looks by more than my husband. And my mother-in-law constantly asked him, "So what can she eat now?" like I was some strange head case.
But I forged on, ultimately discovering a health condition causing much of my distress, which led me to the ancestral lifestyle popularized by the terms paleo and primal. Adopting these principles turned my health around dramatically, but now chinks in the armor are starting to show.
I suddenly understand there is no perfect blueprint I can follow to solve every problem. Instead of approaching issues with a one-size-fits-all dogma - and guzzling the Kool-Aid - I'm better served by researching the pros and cons of every situation and applying or utilizing only what makes sense (basically what my husband has been preaching for years).
The other shoe will drop. It always does. It also makes me feel foolish for once again, charging ahead with so little investigation. I hope I'm getting the hang of this now because in all honestly, I never even really liked Kool-Aid.

Young people arrested in Lycoming County for underage drinking have an alternative to the usual license suspension and mark on the record that accompanies that offense.
What's required of an offender who wants to avoid the standard punishment is no cop out.
The Lycoming County Underage Drinking Court was founded by Judge Marc Lovecchio and Chris Deal of the West Branch Drug and Alcohol Abuse Commission in 2008.
Those who enter the program, the only one of its kind in the Commonwealth, have their citation dismissed and avoid a suspended driver's license in exchange for completing "far more rigorous and time-consuming requirements" than exist on the books, Lovecchio said.
Before graduation, the Underage Drinking Court asks participants to attend six court sessions; complete a counseling course; spend at least 15 hours with someone whose life has been affected by alcohol and drugs; perform a community service project; and then present a project summarizing their program experience.
"The underage drinking statute allowed first offenders to do what's known as a preadjudication program - the difference was that participants would still lose their license and obligations were relatively minor," Lovecchio said. "What we developed was a different model; because of that we needed to get everyone on board - law enforcement officers, the district attorney's office, judges and service providers."
Nearly 200 young people charged with underage drinking have graduated the program since it began in June 2008.
"By accommodating we're able to expand and serve more," Lovecchio said. "You have to be flexible and accommodating with that age group. You get some who are only home for the summer, some who are from other counties."
A $150 fee paid by participants covers costs for the program. The court sessions they attend are not lectures.
"Chris and I deal with them on a real honest and basic level - it's not a judge proselytizing," Lovecchio said. "I tell them about my own misdeeds and relate tons of cases that I've had in court. You get these kids who were out at these big parties - you go through what they did in detail and they realize how unsafe they were."
"It's fun to hear them laugh," Deal said.
"We show movies, but not your typical drug and alcohol movie," Lovecchio said. "Like 'Leaving Las Vegas' with Nicolas Cage, the story of a guy who drinks himself to death."
"The kids come up with their own service projects," Deal said. "When they create it they're much more invested.
We've had kids bake pies for the fire company, build chicken coops, design a recreational weekend activity at an elementary school, coach sports.
"So many more young people are more concerned about getting projects done right than I am. We're not out for performance, we're out to give experience, to see what they learn."
Quotes from graduates of the court show that its regimen can inspire a deeper contemplation of life's challenges.
"I don't want to fail at life when I know I can be so much more," said one court alum.
"It has helped me look at the bigger picture, not just the now," said another.
"A lot of this stuff is self-reflective. They confront why they made the bad decisions," Lovecchio said. "What we've learned through the program is that not everything works for everybody a cookie-cutter approach doesn't work."
Deal presented a keynote address on the court's work at a Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board conference on reducing underage alcohol abuse this past April.
"Interest has been generated in some counties in this," Deal said. "This is an experiential learning model. We're taking all the surveys and putting them into a research paper."
The number of offenders who have taken advantage of the court is "lower than I'd like," Lovecchio said.
"Some people, I'll tell them what's required and they'll say, 'Hey, I'm not doing that,'" said Judge Allen P. Page III, whose district includes Lycoming College. "Especially when people get cited on the evening of their birthday, or the next morning - they're not interested in an alternative program."
Of 187 underage drinking cases processed at Judge Page's court since 2008, 26 have received the dismissal that comes with participation in the Underage Drinking Court's program, while 122 have pleaded or been found guilty.
Out of 30 cases in Judge Page's district in 2011, four people received a dismissal; of 26 cases so far in 2012, three were dismissed.
The Underage Drinking Court is "not something we generally promote at the time of the incident," said Lt. David Mauck of the Penn College Police. "If they come to us after they've sobered up and heard about it and ask for it, at that time it's discussed."
"Those I've personally sent through have done very well," said Chief William Solomon of the Old Lycoming Township Police. "It's an individual officer decision to refer them. It's not made on behalf of the department."
However many youth enter the program, the results it has shown so far are encouraging.
A survey of court graduates has found that 88 percent have not had any additional legal charges after graduating, and 94 percent have not had any more underage drinking charges or DUIs. Deal hopes that as more results are collected, funding may be found to expand the program.
"The judges here are at the forefront of these diversionary courts," Lovecchio said. "This was the first in Pennsylvania; I'm tremendously pleased that Judge (Nancy) Butts is so supportive of these kinds of models. It's not just all about incarcerating people and hoping that they change."

Technology advances distance education
February 24, 2013
DEAR EDITOR: Please allow me to ask this question. It is an important one, because so much activity in our society has its basis in education....
Those are fine credentials, but how many distance courses have you taken? From my experience both taking and teaching them, online courses are not generally not as effective as in-class courses.
No doubt, much of this has to do with teachers not being trained how to effectively teach using technology. But I think that there is still something to be said for the community and smaller size of in-person classes. Online courses certainly have their uses, but I would never voluntarily take one on a subject I care about if I had the opportunity to take an in-person course.

1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Patrick, anybody with a bachelor degree can get a license to be a substitute teacher. The important part of that is substitute, and it is only good for so long. You sound like Peggy Hill. There is a difference between distance learning and classroom learning. Many employers when given the choice see that BRICK AND MORTAR degree as better. As a person with a small business I will hire a person with a real earned diploma over the internet diploma, GED, etc... every time.

Among the 93 716 women in the total cohort, 7846 (8.4%) were currently using statin medication at baseline; 1844 (2%) had used their current statin medication for more than 3 years, 3416 (3.6%) for 1 to 3 years, and 2586 (2.8%) for less than 1 year. The prevalence rates of use of statin agents were simvastatin (2.6%), lovastatin (2.1%), pravastatin (1.9%), fluvastatin (1.0%), and atorvastatin (0.8%). According to potency classification, 2526 women (3.1%) used a low-potency statin, 1516 (1.9%) used a medium-potency statin, and 2720 (3.3%) used a high-potency statin. Women currently using statin medication at baseline were older than nonusers (mean age, 65.8 years vs. 63.4 years, respectively), had higher body mass index (28.4 kg/m2 vs. 27.2 kg/m2, respectively), and were more likely to have a history of myocardial infarction or angina (Table 1). Concurrent use of thiazide diuretics was also more common among statin users. Hormone replacement therapy was used slightly less often among statin users than nonusers (40.4% vs. 46.0%, respectively). Among current hormone users, the duration of hormone use was similar for statin users (8.4 years) and nonusers (8.3 years). Other baseline characteristics were similar for statin users and nonusers, including race or ethnicity, history of fracture, alcohol consumption, smoking, time spent walking, and total daily calcium intake (Table 1). Although the differences by statin use were small, many of these comparisons were nonetheless statistically different because of the large number of women in the cohort.

- - which tuf produced the best fighters (http://www.mmaforum.com/ultimate-fighter-tv/47526-tuf-produced-best-fighters.html)
which tuf produced the best fighters
so as the title says which tuff has been the best?
I would have to say 2 with 1 being a close 2ed
Well TUF 1 produced the LHW champ and that is the UFC's top divisions arguably, it also gave use Ken FLo and Diego and KOs who are title contenders Swick was a MW title contender for a while too. Leben is a solid fighter or would be if he can sort himself out so.
2 is close in realm of talent but the law of diminishing returns as well and trurly kicked in with regards to TUF
Well TUF 1 produced the LHW champ and that is the UFC's top divisions arguably, it also gave use Ken FLo and Diego and KOs who are title contenders Swick was a MW title contender for a while too. Leben is a solid fighter or would be if he can sort himself out so.
2 is close in realm of talent but the law of diminishing returns as well and truly kicked in with regards to TUF
That tuf aside it's only really urrr, forget his name, lost to bj recently, that I remember
1 easily, its really not even close. There is like 1-2 good guys per other seasons, out from season 1's cast like half of the fighers ended up fighting in ufc atleast once (most are even highly ranked on their divisions now).
TUF 1 had Chris Leben, Alex Karalexis, Kenny Florian, Josh Koscheck, Diego Sanchez, Nathan Quarry, Stephan Bonnar, Mike Swick, and Forrest Griffin. TUF 5 had Emerson though, so TUF 5 wins.
Easy.....the first one ever.....Diego, Rashaad, Forrest.....florian.......def by far the best season :thumb02: Just noticed cornbreads list and also noted that he pointed out Razor Rob....what was i thinking....season 5
The first two were the best. keith and rashad are probably the best that came from the second one. forest mike and ken flow came frome the first. leban and diago I am not too impressed with.
if rashad beats forest then I will probably still say tuf 2 was the best but I guess 1 produced more top fighters.
Although its def season 1 or 2 (yes i like to sit on fences) TUF,3 was ridiculously weak and 4 was the the comeback, so most were never really going to reach the top.
But i dont think the guys from the seasons after that have had a chance to really grow as fighters yet. It was quite a while after season 1 and 2 that we really started to see those guys reach the top of their divisions. I mean forrest only became a true contender when he beat shogun, last year. Same with JArdine and Chuck. Rashad was nowhere near the top until he KO'd Chuck.
So in a few years i reckon alot of the lightweight series guys (think that was tuf 5) will really be pushing the top of their division. Guys like Maynard,Lauzon and Diaz, not a big fan of Manny but maybe him too.(haven't fogotten Emerson, its just unfair to class him amongst the other contestants.)
i believe that TUF 1 produced the best fighters as most of you have previously said, there are many reasons why this is true. Indeed the first season has produced many fighters that are now top contenders but i think it is mostly becuase theas the sport was still really on the rise as the first season was in the process. Forrest Griffin is a great champion and a tough competitor as well as a coach on the previous season. Ever since the first TUF he has been extremly popular, but it wasnt just the winners of TUF's first season that are recongnized but almost all of the fighters on TUF's first season are the heart and soul of resent day UFC, they are all huge names and great fighters... dreamcometrue

Fox News' Giant Middle Finger To MSNBC And CNN
Fox News has never been shy when it comes to boasting about their status as the reigning #1 cable-news network, but this web page from 2009 dedicated to taunting their competitors takes the cake. Updated.
Check out this graphic that takes up an entire page at FoxNews.com under the url, www.foxnews.com/number1/ (Update: Fox News has redirected the url for this page to FoxNews.com)
*This would be where CNN & MSNBC use an asterisk in their ads to point out some half-baked one-time statistic to prove that somebody stumbled across their channels giving them a temporary spike in the ratings, which they would tout as unprecedented, earth-shattering and monumental. It's actually pathetic since we all know if they massage their statistics long enough, they can come up with something to make their tiny point. But deep in their little hearts, even the know that FOX NEWS IS NUMBER ONE in cable news and has been for years.
- Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton sparred over ISIS, race, and Trump's unreleased taxes during the first US presidential debate 📢
- The Colombia government and FARC rebels have signed a historic peace deal, ending 52 years of armed conflict.
- And no, people aren't drilling headphone jacks into their new iPhone 7's 📱❌

Breast MRI scanMRI - breast; Magnetic resonance imaging - breast
A breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is an imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the breast and surrounding tissue. It does not use radiation (x-rays).
A breast MRI may be done in combination with mammography or ultrasound. It is not a replacement for mammography.
How the Test is Performed
You will wear a hospital gown or clothes without metal snaps or zipper (sweatpants and a t-shirt). Some types of metal can cause blurry images.
You will lie on your stomach on a narrow table with your breasts hanging down into cushioned openings. The table slides into a large tunnel-like tube.
Some exams require a special dye (contrast). Most of the time, you will get the dye through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. The dye helps the docotr (radiologist) see some areas more clearly.
During the MRI, the person who operates the machine will watch you from another room. The test lasts 30 to 60 minutes, but may take longer.
How to Prepare for the Test
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 to 6 hours before the scan.
Tell your doctor if you are afraid of tight spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you feel sleepy and less anxious. Also, your doctor may suggest an "open" MRI. The machine is not as close to the body in this type of test.
Before the test, tell your health care provider if you have:
- Brain aneurysm clips
- Certain types of artificial heart valves
- Heart defibrillator or pacemaker
- Inner ear (cochlear) implants
- Kidney disease or dialysis (you may not be able to receive the IV contrast)
- Recently placed artificial joints
- Certain types of vascular stents
- Worked with sheet metal in the past (you may need tests to check for metal pieces in your eyes)
Because the MRI contains strong magnets, metal objects are not allowed into the room with the MRI scanner:
- Pens, pocketknives, and eyeglasses may fly across the room.
- Items such as jewelry, watches, credit cards, and hearing aids can be damaged.
- Pins, hairpins, metal zippers, and similar metallic items can distort the images.
- Removable dental work should be taken out just before the scan.
How the Test will Feel
An MRI exam causes no pain. You will need to lie still. Too much movement can blur MRI images and cause errors.
If you are very anxious, you may be given medicine to calm your nerves.
The table may be hard or cold, but you can ask for a blanket or pillow. The machine makes loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You will likely be given ear plugs to help reduce the noise.
An intercom in the room lets you to speak to someone at any time. Some MRIs have televisions and special headphones to help the time pass.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax. After an MRI scan, you can return to your normal diet, activity, and medicines unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
Why the Test is Performed
MRI provides detailed pictures of the breast. It also provides clear pictures of parts of the breast that are hard to see clearly on an ultrasound or mammogram.
Breast MRI may also be performed to:
- Check for more cancer in the same breast or the other breast after breast cancer has been diagnosed
- Distinguish between scar tissue and tumors in the breast
- Evaluate a breast lump (most often after a biopsy)
- Evaluate an abnormal result on a mammogram or breast ultrasound
- Evaluate for possible rupture of breast implants
- Find any cancer that remains after surgery or chemotherapy
- Guide a biopsy (rare)
- Screen for cancer in women at very high risk for breast cancer (those with a strong family history)
- Screen for cancer in women with very dense breast tissue
An MRI of the breast can also show:
- Blood flow through the breast area
- Blood vessels in the breast area
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results may be due to:
- Breast cancer
- Cysts
- Leaking or ruptured breast implants
- Abnormal breast tissue that is not cancer
- Scar tissue
Consult your provider with any questions and concerns.
MRI contains no radiation. No side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves have been reported.
The most common type of contrast (dye) used is gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions to this dye are rare. However, gadolinium can be harmful to people with kidney problems that need dialysis. If you have kidney problems, tell your provider before the test.
The strong magnetic fields created during an MRI can make heart pacemakers and other implants not work as well. It can also cause a piece of metal inside your body to move or shift.
Breast MRI is more sensitive than mammogram, especially when it is performed using contrast dye. However, breast MRI may not always be able to distinguish breast cancer from noncancerous breast growths. This can lead to a false positive result.
MRI also cannot pick up tiny pieces of calcium (microcalcifications), which mammogram can detect.
A biopsy is needed to confirm the results of a breast MRI.

Gloria Levinson has some advice for Peco Energy Co. electric customers like her who bravely embraced deregulation this year and switched power suppliers:
Take a close look at your electric bill. Very close.
"I'm unhappy," she said.
The Havertown retiree thought she was getting a big discount when she switched suppliers in February, signing up with a Brooklyn company whose quoted rate was 14 percent less than Peco's default-service price for those who don't shop.
Levinson chose Respond Power L.L.C., whose variable rate was among the lowest posted with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
"Based on our excellent history, you may save up to 10 percent annually," the company told Levinson in a letter.
