Obstetric ultrasound at Johns Hopkins is AIUM-accredited and employs registered (RDMS) ultrasonographers or Diagnostic Medical Sonographer Candidates (DMS) who specialize in the field of obstetrics and high-risk obstetrics. We have state-of-the-art ultrasound machines, including those with 3D/4D capabilities.
We provide a wide range of ultrasound services:
- First trimester scans
- Comprehensive fetal anatomy screens

In addition, we offer fetal echocardiography, first trimester Nuchal translucency screening, and ultrasound guidance for invasive fetal procedures.
Results you can trust
All scans are interpreted by one of our board-certified perinatologists. In most cases, study results are provided to the patient before her departure from our department.
Coordination of appointments with neonatal/pediatric specialists is provided for those patients requiring such services.
Specific Patient Instructions
- Please be sure to arrive at least 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow time for registration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ultrasound harmful to my baby?
Ultrasound is a specialized exam using sound waves (not x-rays) to visualize your baby. No radiation is involved. To learn more, please visit: American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine. Select "Conclusions Regarding Epidemiology for Obstetrical Ultrasound" and/or "Prudent Use and Clinical Safety".
How long will the exam take?
We allow one hour per patient for each exam; however, some exams take less time than others. Multiple gestations (twins, triplets, and higher) are allotted the proper amount of time needed to perform a complete exam. Sometimes because of unexpected findings, a scan may take longer than expected; therefore, some scheduling delays may occur. Be assured that each patient is given the amount of time needed to perform a comprehensive ultrasound study.
Will I need a full bladder?
You will need a full bladder if:
- You are fewer than 12 weeks pregnant.
- You are having a CVS procedure.
Your bladder needs to be half full if:
- You are between 12 to 24 weeks pregnant.
You do not need a full bladder if:
- You are having amniocentesis.
- You are more than 24 weeks pregnant.
Can I eat before my appointment?
It is fine to eat before your ultrasound, unless specifically instructed otherwise by a physician.
Can I get a digital recording of my baby?
Digital recording for nondiagnostic purposes is not performed; however, keepsake still images of your baby will be provided. Please be aware that fetal position may limit our ability to obtain optimal keepsake images.
Can I have a 3D ultrasound of my baby?
While we do have 3D/4D ultrasound machines, they are reserved for cases in which there is a known suspected fetal abnormality.
In the setting of a fetal abnormality, 3D/4D technology may sometimes be beneficial; however, the limitations of 3D are often the same as 2D; therefore, this technology is used at the attending physician's discretion. We do provide 2D keepsake images of your baby which are obtained at the time of your scan. Please be aware that fetal position may limit our ability to obtain optimal keepsake images.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cautions against the use of 3D/4D imaging for entertainment purposes. Click here to read the official statement of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine regarding the use of 3D/4D technology.
Will I be able to find out the sex of my baby?
Depending upon the baby's position and gestational age, we can tell you what sex we think the baby will be. Please keep in mind that ultrasound is not 100 percent accurate in fetal sex determination.

While presenting Queen Latifah with the Power Award at the third annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon, Pinkett Smith became choked up over the recent passing of her father, who succumbed to a heart attack.
"My father died last week, and I'm flying tomorrow to bury him," said Pinkett Smith, 38. "But I wanted to come because when those types of losses happen a lot of things get illuminated and your priorities fall in line."
She added, "When I think about Latifah I think about a woman who makes me feel loved. She can sit in the throne of my soul and just be there with me. She makes me laugh."
Unable to continue her speech due to a heavy flow of tears, Pinkett Smith found herself on stage alone and unable to speak – until Latifah came up to stand beside her.
"This is what I'm talking about," Pinkett Smith, said, picking up her introduction. "I don't see her a lot, but she's my girl."

1944 Augie Galan Brooklyn Dodgers Game-Used Satin Jersey Rare One-Year Style
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $11,162.50
ADDENDUM: Please Note: Robert Edward Auctions' formal policy regarding consignments by authenticators is the requirement that ownership or financial interest of all such lots be clearly communicated in the lot description in all cases where such authentication is cited in the lot description. In our printed catalog this disclosure is not listed. This was due to a human error and has been corrected below.
Rare and fascinating one-year-only style Brooklyn Dodgers satin jersey worn by outfielder Augie Galan in 1944. The blue satin jersey is lettered "Brooklyn" across the front and features the number "24" on the reverse. All letters and numbers are appliquéd in white tackle twill. The name "Galan" is chain-stitched in blue upon a white strip tag in the collar. Also located in the collar, adjacent to the name tag, are a "Wilson" label and a "42" size tag. The jersey is completely original, with no alterations, and displays moderate wear throughout. This unique and very rare one-year style jersey, worn by the Dodgers only in 1944, utilizes a highly reflective satin fabric. It was designed and used strictly for night games. It was believed that the reflective properties of the fabric made the garments easier to see under the lights. Night baseball was in its infancy in the early 1940s and it is understandable that teams would try to make adjustments to take into account the new conditions presented by playing games at night. Apparently, the benefits were not great or the style was not popular with the players, as the satin uniforms were retired following the 1944 season, never to return. Only a few examples are known. This is an outstanding example of one of the rarest , most distinctive, and most interesting of all one-year uniform styles. Galan enjoyed the finest season of his career in 1944, batting .318 with a league-leading 101 bases on balls, 12 home runs and 93 RBI. Graded 9.5 by MEARS (10 point base grade with one-half point deducted for minor fabric wear). This jersey has been consigned to this auction directly from the personal collection of world-renowned bat authenticator David Bushing. LOA from Dave Bushing & Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$4,000. SOLD FOR $11,162.50

Google AdWords has finally released an IP Exclusion option, allowing advertisers to block their ads from showing up for specific IP addresses. From the AdWords Help Files:
In addition to controlling your ad placement through methods such as location and language targeting, site exclusion, and network distribution preferences, you can refine your targeting with Internet Protocol (IP) address exclusion. This feature enables you to specify IP addresses where you don't want your ads to appear.
You can exclude up to 20 IP addresses, or range of addresses, per campaign. All ads in the campaign are prevented from showing for users with the IP addresses you specify, so we recommend you choose your list carefully.
IP exclusion helps tackle the issue of competitor click fraud: if your competitors are clicking on your ads, you can filter them out so they don't see your ads. That way you won't end up paying for clicks that don't yield to a conversion. Search Engine Roundtable points out that if you frequently search for your own keywords, you can block your own IP address to keep from affecting your click through rate.
In a related vein, last week Google started delivering Content Placement Reports to let advertisers control to a degree where their contextual ads appear. Like Content Placement reports, IP Exclusion will help advertisers manage where their ads are showing up.

Album Review
Certain records create a space where memory -- not nostalgia -- makes us long for something that's been missing. Eight years after the stellar
Peter Wolf
offers us that with
Midnight Souvenirs
. Few artists can make records where tautly crafted songs with solid lyrics, balanced production, and inspired performances are the
priorities. The album's musical traces go all the way back to his past as a DJ, as a member of the Hallucinations and the
J. Geils Band

Will Jennings

rock & roll songs. The tunes are direct, poignant, and confessional, buoyed by

Larry Campbell
Duke Levine
, and the best female backing chorus in the business:
Ada Dyer
Catherine Russell
There isn't a weak cut here, but there are highlights. There are three excellent duets. The first is the soul-drenched country of "Tragedy" with
Shelby Lynne
, (co-written by
Angelo Petraglia
). "Tragedy" details the failings of a man in love and his desperate unwillingness to accept that this may be the end.

Neko Case
is inspired by a traditional melody that could have been sung by
Fairport Convention
. The set closer with
Merle Haggard
(in amazing voice here), melds the pair in a country waltz that sums up the regret that stands monolithically in the hearts of those who've failed.
rocks here too: "I Don't Wanna Know," with its big ringing guitars and wailing harmonica, is a betrayal song to dance to. "Watch Her Move" is a snaky, nocturnal old-school R&B tune that shakes in modern parlance. "There's Still Time" is the album's hinge piece. Slowly beginning with acoustic and electric guitars, it gradually soars, adding a string section and a gospel-ized backing chorus.
declares his self-aware protagonist's isolated way of living, the cost he's willingly paid for it, and his decision to abandon himself fearlessly to whatever he encounters because that's what actual living requires. "Thick as Thieves" is a scorching electric blues number that wouldn't sound out of place on a
North Mississippi Allstars
record. "Overnight Lows" is a humorous, soul morality tale where the singer wears his heart -- and faults --on his sleeve. "The Night Comes Down (For Willy DeVille)" is a big rock anthem delivered in an intimate way.
Midnight Souvenirs
is a terrific dark-night-of-the-soul album, but it doesn't mope. It's made for driving, dancing alone in the living room, or merely pondering your next move, while snapping your fingers, of course.

Bill O'Brien isn't sure who his starting quarterback will be when the season starts next week.
One thing the second-year coach does know is that former Central Dauphin star Zayd Issah will not be part of the Penn State family.
O'Brien said Issah's latest brush with the law in State College has removed him from consideration for a future scholarship. Issah is facing multiple felony and criminal charges in Dauphin and Centre counties.
"Yeah, Zayd won't be at Penn State," O'Brien told PennLive's Bob Flounders during an interview session at Big Ten Media Days in Chicago.
Issah, a one-time PSU linebacker recruit, was charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest and marijuana possession for incidents that occurred in State College earlier this month.
As for the quarterback battle, that will start to heat up in the coming weeks.
O'Brien said freshman Christian Hackenberg, who is in State College working out with his new teammates, and transfer Tyler Ferguson, who is in California with his family, will split reps when camp opens Aug. 5.
"We'll go into camp and we'll give those guys an equal amount of reps," O'Brien said to ESPN.com Big Ten blogger Brian Bennett on Wednesday. "They're both good kids, they both work really hard and we'll decide when we think we're ready to make a decision."
Tough job ahead: Player safety is a hot topic at football conference media days. Officials are making presentations about new ejection penalties that will target players who use their heads to hit.
PennLive's David Jones said these changes are necessary, given the types of head injuries we now know football players have suffered in the course of a game.
Jones says that even though these changes are needed, the game will be disrupted. Officials have to decide in a split second if the crown of the helmet was used in a hit, and whether to player was in a defenseless position at the time of the hit.
When in doubt, officials have been told to err on the side of ejection. If a player commits the foul in the first half, he's gone for the rest of the game. If it happens in the second half, he's gone for the rest of the game and the first half of the next.

For over 16 years, Kolb Net Works has offered companies a variety of computer and technology services, including marketing and website development.
"I started the company in 1996," said Kathy Kolb, president. "And I just love the internet. I'm a true geek."
Kolb said she grew up interested in communication. She often explored Citizens' Band radios and had an amateur radio license. As she explained using the internet as a communication tool has always made sense to her.
"It's another form of world-wide communication," Kolb said.
After building a website for a local computer club, Kolb said to herself: "I think I can do it." She then began Kolb Net Works to her skills and services to businesses. The company offers website development
and design, internet marketing services, domain name registration, social media consulting and search engine optimization, among others.
Kolb said her team has worked on numerous websites and always is looking for new customers. In this day and age, Kolb said having a presence on the internet is important for businesses.
And doing it properly is key, as well.
"It can mean the difference between business and profit," she said.
On kolbnetworks.com, Kolb posts podcast videos to explain her company and services. Team members work on a variety of tasks and services for this line of business, Kolb said after a period of time they can choose to work at home.
And Kolb takes pride in the fact that she hires most who are close to home.
"I use all U.S. Labor mostly Pennsylvania labor," she said.
Kolb explained that most companies that offer internet services export work to other countries. Kolb said she doesn't do that because she wants to know the people that are working with her and who she is hiring.
"I want to be able to hold someone responsible," she said.
Kolb believes that her passion for the internet is why she chose this career path.
She said it shows in her products.
"I think it's because I love it," she said. "I like working with websites and I like working with people and companies."
And as the company continues to grow, Kolb is hoping that her company will continue to "build good websites and keep marketing them."

Salinger books offer a glimpse of genius
"J.D. Salinger: The Escape Artist" By Thomas Beller
New Harvest; 192 pages; $20
"My Salinger Year"
By Joanna Rakoff
Alfred A. Knopf; 272 pages; $25.95
The famously reclusive J.D. Salinger wouldn't allow himself to be known. And yet assorted authors continue to probe his life. Inevitably, they are forced to reiterate the same few scattered facts other scribes have pored over before.
That's the fate Thomas Beller tries to avoid, with mixed success, in his biography-cum-travelogue "J.D. Salinger: The Escape Artist."
Read more, and you may get an actual, fleeting look at the man as he stood in life -- something Joanna Rakoff delivers in her often intriguing and lyrical but uneven new memoir, "My Salinger Year."
After reading the new Salinger books by Beller and Rakoff (both respected novelists), I couldn't help but wish that "Jerry" -- as the author of "The Catcher in the Rye" was known to his friends -- had sat down for at least one definitive, revealing interview before he died in 2010.
If he'd done so, we probably would have been spared much of the strange, sad spectacle of the Salinger cult.
Salinger obsessions drive "My Salinger Year," which recounts Rakoff's time working as a lowly assistant at the New York literary agency that represented Salinger.
"People are going to call and ask for his address, his phone number," Salinger's agent tells Rakoff. "They're going to ask you to put them in touch with him ... They'll say they want to interview him or give him a prize or an honorary degree or who knows what." With narrowed eyes, "like a caricature of a gangster," the agent warns Rakoff, "Don't tell them anything."
Salinger became one of the most famous writers in the United States with the 1951 publication of "The Catcher in the Rye." An instant best-seller, it eventually became required reading for alienated Americans of all ages and the first "serious" literary novel assigned to several generations of American middle- and high-school students.
Not long after "The Catcher in the Rye" appeared, Salinger moved to Cornish, N.H. His media silence and invisibility only increased his hold on the American imagination.
Rakoff's memoir works best as a profile of what was, even then, a dying institution -- the old-fashioned New York literary agency. There is much smoking of cigarettes. Book deals are closed over lunch and a handshake.
The "Agency way" of getting authors book deals involves "no auctions, with publishers bidding against each other. It's uncouth," one agent tells Rakoff. "We match writers with editors. We have morals."
Rakoff's coming-of-age story is a bit of a slog. Among other things, it includes a discussion with her father over her credit card bills and getting miffed when her boyfriend stares at another woman at a cafe. Each re-entry of Salinger into the narrative is a welcome relief.
In "The Escape Artist," Beller's relationship with Salinger is more voyeuristic. Beller, a veteran fiction and magazine writer, co-founded the literary journal Open City. He never met Salinger. His mission in "The Escape Artist" is to craft an intimate and highly personal account of Salinger's life.
The result is an episodic quilting of incidents and interviews (not recounted in chronological order), many of which have appeared in other books, together with accounts of Beller's own journeys to assorted landmarks of Salinger's life, including the Manhattan apartment where Salinger lived with his family.
Although Beller writes with intelligence and insight -- especially about Salinger's Jewish heritage -- his informal approach feels unfocused. Still, you don't have to be a completely devoted Salinger fan to appreciate the basic story Beller has to share in "The Escape Artist."
It's the tale of a sensitive, ambitious, self-confident, manipulative and slightly odd man with unspoken traumas, who loved language and crafted a masterpiece. He was a man whose desire to be left alone may forever frustrate our efforts to know who he truly was.

It was here that Christopher Columbus Smith built his first boat in 1874 at age 13. These Smith-built boats were referred to as "punts" or "skiffs." With his reputation as a master boat builder on the grow, Chris joined with his brother Hank in 1881 to begin producing boats full time. As demand for their dependable hunting craft increased, the duo started building boats in rapid succession, perhaps laying the ground work for their future as builders of "standardized" runabouts.

Homemade Vegetable Broth Recipe
What you need to make homemade vegetable broth:
Very large stock pot
Assorted vegetables
Left over vegetables
Fresh vegetable tops
1 teaspoon salt
If you have arthritis and are trying to avoid nightshade plants and other assorted foods that cause you pain, you really need to make your own homemade vegetable broth. Manufacturers are not required to list all their ingredients on the label. They can skip at least 1% of them. You're going to find out that if you trust there aren't any tomatoes or citrus in there, you're going to be rudely surprised.
How to Make Homemade Vegetable Broth
Get out your stock pot, or better yet, that huge canning pot. Throw in there an unpeeled red onion, a couple yellow or white onions, a few celery stalks with the tops still on, some cabbage leaves from the very outside of the head if your store sells them that way, the green leafy tops of radishes, the green leafy tops of fresh beets, any left over cooked vegetable you aren't going to eat before they spoil and maybe a bit of squash. Basically, your vegetable broth is made from most of the stuff you throw away or put into the mulch pile. Aside from the fuel to cook it, you're almost making free food. I like to chop off the top part of the celery head when I make broth. Don't chop the vegetables much at all. Only halve the onions, leave the celery and carrots whole, etc.
Easy way to clean greens:
Fill one of those dish pans that you use to wash dishes with cold water. Throw in a nice, big handful of salt. Swish it around. Toss in all your greens and vegetables. Swish them around in there. Scoop out all the vegetable matter and put it in a strainer. Empty the dish pan. Fill the dish pan with fresh cold water. Dump all the vegies in there and swish around. Then drain them. Then do the rinse one more time.
The salt water makes the surface of the vegetable slippery and the bugs and dirt just slide right off. This method is great for leaf lettuce also!
Now that your vegies are in the pot and you've surfed through the refrigerator grabbing everything you don't need for anything else, cover the vegies with water. You'll have to smash down the vegetables. Cover it with enough water to just barely cover them. Add the salt.
Put a cover on the stock pot and bring it to boil. When it is boiling, reduce it to simmer. Let it simmer for 3 hours.
When the three hours are up, let it sit there to cool for an hour or two, then scoop out all the vegetables with a slotted spoon. Put them into a colander that is over a big bowl. Smash the vegetables a bit to get every last bit of juicy goodness out of it.
Ladle your new homemade vegetable broth into containers or jars. What I do is put it into the plastic containers that are roughly the size I need to use in a recipe and I keep them all in the freezer. You don't need to mess with cheese cloth to strain it. The sediment sinks to the bottom of the pot and is easy to avoid.
You can use this vegetable broth in bean soup, broth soups, chili, or many recipes that normally call for water. Adding a vegetable broth adds a lot more flavor.
Sure, it takes all day to make it. Pick a day you're just hanging around the house. It really isn't much work. You just need to be around to keep an eye on it. It is so worth it to always have a homemade vegetable broth on hand. I never make beans or soups without it.
Once the left over vegetables are cold, add them to the mulch pile or give them to the neighbor's chickens. They will follow you anywhere after a treat like that.

[NINJA ROCK] From a city with enough ninja-inspired rock outfits to lay siege on a small village (or a rock concert, à la Satyricon's Ninja Rock Festival last November) comes a mysterious band. A band that does the shtick right. A band that writes songs about the ninja lifestyle and battles colorfully costumed opponents on a blue tumbling mat at the front of the stage. A band called Fist of Dishonor.
A recent Fist of Dishonor show at Ash Street Saloon had everything but (someone getting hit over the head with) the kitchen sink—Mexican wrestlers, MC battles, costume changes, slow-motion fight sequences and singer Missy Jitsu playing guitar with a vibrator for a pick. During FOD's opening song, Jitsu sang, "You either know what to do with a katana/ Or you're a grown man dressed up in pajamas" and defeated two attacking ninjas during the bridge.
Jitsu wasn't willing to talk candidly about her band, though she graciously directed WW to her (ahem) personal assistant, Tera Nova Zarra, who looks strangely like Jitsu clad in normal clothes. (What, you got disbelief? Suspend it!) Zarra explained that Fist of Dishonor started out as a collection of handpicked bandmates who didn't know how to play their instruments.
"The plan was to recruit fantastic people, and then teach them how to play," Zarra said. Jitsu and second guitarist Shigeru Nakano were the only members of the five-piece band who knew how to play their instruments a month before the first show. But Jitsu's a teacher at the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, and didn't see the band's inexperience as a problem. "I hate to blow the top off rock 'n' roll," Zarra elaborated, "but it's actually quite easy to learn."
Fist of Dishonor's members had a clear idea of what they wanted the band to be: "Insects singing love songs," said Zarra. But a California band named Insecto was already doing that, so they started brainstorming. Someone said "ninjas." Because the band's high-kicking frontwoman used to teach aikido and has a history with Portland Organic Wrestling, Zarra said it was a no-brainer. And Jitsu eventually called on P.O.W. to produce costumed antagonists for Fist of Dishonor to spar with at shows.
"I love ninjas, I love training in the martial arts, I love rock 'n' roll," Zarra says, breaking character for a moment. "It felt like everything I'd done in my life so far was adding up." The onstage marriage of those elements is what makes Fist of Dishonor—even in a town with plenty of ninja-centric acts (14 Ninjas, Ninjas with Syringes, Surrounded by Ninjas, etc.)—one of the best shows in town.

The Use of Voluntary Disclosure Initiatives in the Battle Against Offshore Tax Evasion
Leandra Lederman
Indiana University Maurer School of Law
Villanova Law Review, Vol. 57, 2012
Indiana Legal Studies Research Paper No. 200
The federal government has engaged in a number of well-publicized enforcement efforts in an attempt to collect back taxes owed on offshore bank account and other offshore assets. Among those efforts are special offshore "voluntary disclosure" initiatives — essentially tax amnesties — offered by the Internal Revenue Service. One such program closed in September 2011, and another opened in January 2012. After discussing the history of voluntary disclosure programs, particularly the offshore initiatives of 2003, 2009, 2011, and 2012, this essay evaluates the government's approach to voluntary disclosure of offshore evasion in light of the literature on optimal tax amnesties. The essay concludes that the offshore tax amnesties meet some but not all of the elements of an optimal amnesty.

It's getting thinner Jamie!
You can find all sorts of ice routes at Blue Lake in the snow covered hills of Australia. Here Jamie picks his way up a 20m ice flow, which quickly becomes a thin veneer. He incorporates a few mixed moves and plugs in a wire to run out the top 6m.

On a road to nowhere.
It's quite stark, the contrast in landscapes you'll find in Australia, on any road trip. Ironically, I managed to ride across some of Australia's many flat plains on my way to one of the best climbing crags in the world..... Arapiles. This particular road trip I did solo on my GS650.

I've been good before my crash on high carb diet, so why not giving it a try with whole paleo foods.
The "Paleo Fail" and "Paleo Myths" phrases are just to "shock" people in order to get them to read, the sources of food he advocates to eat is pure paleo, just not low carb paleo. Well, in the book at least, since then he talked about pizza, ice cream and junk food to raise metabolism... Haha

Derek Davis & the Tasty Groove play Friday at Doc's
Bradford native Derek Davis has covered a lot of ground as a musician -- vocally and geographically. His voice has more range than the Rockies, and he's played hard rock as well as country with current band Derek Davis & the Tasty Groove.
"I'm blessed with a very versatile voice," Davis said. "It comes from my high school teacher. I'd be in musicals. I was in 'The Secret Garden,' singing the highest male vocal. And I had to learn a Yorkshire accent. At the same time, I was the lowest male vocalist in the state chorus, singing bass two."
That range allows him to do a reasonable Johnny Cash when the band covers "Ring of Fire," and sing high on songs like Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" The Groove covers those songs, and lots of modern country -- Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and Craig Morgan.
"We don't do the whiny, complaining kind of country. You know, the stereotypical 'my dog ran away and my wife left' kind of thing. We do more of the party songs, the fun songs. Songs about beer," Davis said.
Davis started out as a rocker with Heavy Depth Perception, an all-original band that was offered a development deal with Island Records. The band headed west, but the project stalled.
"We got to do a prerecording at Mark Hoppus' studio, from Blink-182," Davis said. "I couldn't get my guitarist to show up. We're at a $200-an-hour session, and the guitar player skipped it. So, I finally decided to go solo and do it on my own."
He moved to Las Vegas, where he developed a singer-songwriter approach.
"I grew up on Jim Croce and folk and that type of stuff. My mom, that's what she listened to, and I always liked it," Davis said. "But when I was young, I liked headbanging stuff. Then, I started to learn songs and realized it's the song that gets you gigs. That came back to me, what I grew up on. When I lived in Vegas, you have to be a human jukebox to make a living out there, so I put on an acoustic guitar and got back into it."
Davis, 30, eventually moved back to Pennsylvania, but he doesn't regret the time he spent elsewhere.
"I'm glad I did it for the experience, and I met a lot of friends all over the country now. It's funny. I moved to these places to try to find the right group of people and it took coming home to find (them). I don't think there's anyone in the country I'd be more happy to play with than these guys."
His band includes stellar guitarist Joe Dalimonte from Waterford and drummer Ben Juul, both of whom also play with veteran country-rocker Sean Patrick McGraw when he's back in the area. Juul has also played with bassist Aaron Darr for a decade, which accounts for the Tasty Groove part of the band name.
Friday's gig at Doc Holliday's is the band's first Erie-area gig. In addition to country and a few classic-rock covers, Davis will work in some of his sly originals like "Freedom and Compromise," which is about relationships, not politics. Another original sounds like it's about a woman, until it becomes clear that he's singing about a truck. That one's called "Repoed."
Whether the group plays originals or covers, though, your feet will move.
"I don't think we have any slow songs," Davis said. "We try to keep people dancing."

Activities end the year at Union Elementary
Union — The end of the school year brings much excitement and extra energy to burn off for elementary students.
Union Elementary School, along with many other area schools, held field days to close out their final days before summer vacation. The breezy warm weather of June 18 kept the pesky bugs away and made for a great atmosphere to run, jump, hop, throw and whatever else was on the agenda.
June 19 was the last day of school.

Pair Rotation Frequency
(second ed, 42)
Rotate pairs frequently. Some teams report good results obeying a timer that tells them to shift partner every sixty minutes (every thirty minutes when solving difficult problems). I don't think I'd like this but haven't tried it. I like to program with someone new every couple of hours, switching at natural breaks in the development
What are the pros and cons of frequent and infrequent rotation? In what contexts is hourly/daily/weekly rotation advised?
I'm about to use XP on a project developing numerical analysis software. Some of the algorithms are quite involved. The programmers generally understand the algorithms/mathematics but some aren't very experienced programmers. What frequency of rotation is advised? I was thinking of daily.

To hear best-selling author Lisa Scottoline describe her life "as just books and dogs and cats," doesn't do it justice.
She's funny. Hilarious, actually, and it's not an act. And Scottoline will bring that humor to Williamsport when she comes to town as the featured author for the James V. Brown Library's Author Gala on Oct. 24.
Although the event has been sold out for months - a fact that Scottoline attributed to people being bored that night since "Breaking Bad" is over - there's still excitement in the community about her visit, as the library has a waiting list of people who still want to attend if there are any last-minute cancellations.

Scottoline enjoys visiting libraries because that's where her heart is. "It's such a worthy cause," she said. "I owe a lot of my success to libraries."
She said that at book signings for her "chick-lit" books, people end up asking her for family updates, because they know so much about her personal life.
"They say, 'How's your mother?' or they ask about my other family members," she said. "In this modern age, there are no questions because it's out there on Facebook."
And Scottoline enjoys using Facebook to connect with her fans. On her page she often posts adorable photos of her five dogs, her garden and whatever else she fancies. She enjoys reading what her fans comment about, too.
But on this day, there was excitement in Scottoline's voice as she talked about her recently published book, "Accused," which will be available Oct. 29, a few days after the library event.
"Yesterday I got a copy of it and when I went to put it on the shelf in my office I realized that it was my 25th book in 20 years," she said. "When did that even happen?"
When asked how she kept up the pace to write so many books, while still publishing a weekly column with her daughter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, she said she was doing it without even knowing it.
"I don't have a very busy personal life, either," she joked.
Her goal in speaking at libraries is to change the way people think about them, which is why she's also chair of PA Forward, an initiative through the Pennsylvania Library Association to show that libraries are not just book repositories and to highlight the real-life needs libraries serve in a community.
"We ask so much of libraries, and then we don't want to fund them," she said. "It's all gimme, gimme, gimme."
The next book she's working on with her daughter, Francesca Serritella, is a humor book titled, "Have a Nice Guilt Trip."
"My daughter thought of that title," she said with a laugh. "What do you think that says?"
Scottoline's trip to Williamsport will not be her first. She has spoken here before when she was a lawyer through the Luzerne County Bar Association. "At one time, that county chose one of my books as a countywide reading book," she said. "It was a huge honor."
As a lawyer, Scottoline had the first-hand knowledge for her Rosato and Associates series, which includes the books "Everywhere That Mary Went," "Final Appeal" and "Running from the Law." "Accused" will be her 14th book in that series.
She said libraries will always have a special place in her heart especially librarians, whom she said are always "so sweet."
"The real truth of why I love libraries is that we only had one book in the house when I was growing up: TV Guide," she said. "The library gave me my career. I read because it's like oxygen, so I owe libraries big time."
Because she supports libraries, Scottoline does not keep her speaking fee from any library appearances. "I don't take that money, I use it to buy books to put in the community," she said. Everyone who attends the Author Gala will receive a copy of "Don't Go."
"Don't Go," which has a male lead character, was a different novel for her to write.
"It was actually inspired by my bunion surgery," she said. "I met the most interesting podiatrist and he told me that people make fun of podiatrists, which I couldn't believe. Then I researched it and realized that he was right except for Army podiatrists. Those tend to handle wounds from IEDs."
That led her to think about the role of the underdog, and, since she had previously written about mothers, she thought she could write something from a father's perspective.
"It also was the 10-year anniversary of my father's death, and I was very close with him," she said. "It was very difficult for me to write, but I stayed with it."
And while her stay in Williamsport will be brief the next morning she has to be on television in New York City she does enjoy coming here. "If I could do my whole calendar with libraries, I would," she said.

Part III
May to August
Chapter IX
The fact is, though it is difficult for an outsider to believe it, that the whole subject of love, of passion of any kind, especially from a girl and with regard to her own marriage, is such an utterly unheard-of one amongst Grania's class that the mere fact of giving utterance to a complaint on the subject gave her a sense not merely of having committed a hideous breach of common decency, but of having actually crossed the line that separates sanity from madness. Could she really be going crazy? she asked 'herself. Would she soon be seen gibbering by the roadside like mad Peggy O'Carroll, who was always laughing to herself at nothing, and being mocked at by the boys as they drove the kelp donkeys to and from the sea-shore?
'What ailed her? she again asked herself. What did ail her? It seemed to be literally like some disease that had got into her bones—this strange unrest, this disturbance—a disease, too, of which she had never heard; which nobody else so far as she knew had ever had; a disease which had no name, and therefore was the more mysterious and horrible. As a matter of fact, she was to some extent ill, or rather her usually perfect health had for the moment partially deserted her. Close attendance on Honor, many sleepless nights, trouble of all kinds, the wear and tear of nursing, all these had broken down those good solid barriers which a life spent eternally in the open air would otherwise have kept up. Sturdy, too, as she was, there was nothing bovine in her strength, on the contrary, like most Irishwomen, she was a nervous creature at bottom, however little she might have seemed so when those barriers were in their proper place. At present they were gone. She was unstrung, and we all know what that means. So completely was this the case that she had even become aware of it herself. She felt worn out, and wrought up to a pitch of desperation. Something she must do, she felt, but what, that was the question, what?
She went to the edge of the platform and put her head against the big boulder, invisible but still present, a familiar object sustaining and comforting. Stooping down, she pressed her cheek closer and closer against the gritty surface till it began to hurt her. What ailed her? she once again asked herself, what did ail her; what did it all mean? 'Auch, what will I do, my God, what will I do, at all?' she moaned suddenly, speaking aloud into the friendly deaf ear of the night. 'Arrah, if I was but dead! if I was but dead! My God, if I was but dead, wouldn't that be the best way out of it, at all, at all?'
She did not mean this, by the way, in the least. She did not want to die, to be dead. Life was bounding and beating within her, on the contrary—beating tp the point of pain. It was a protest merely, a voice from the very strength of her youth and her love. She asked for death, as all young creatures ask for death when what they really want is life—only life with a difference.
By-and-by, as the air began to cool her, or the old stone brought counsel, she tried to think the matter out, to get a little away from her trouble, and to look at it with some degree of reasonableness. Though to one of Grania's rearing and powers of comparison and deduction is a queer, dim process, very strange in its methods, very mysterious often in its results. In its own fashion, however, it has to be gone through, and is gone through, especially under the stress of strong emotion. Under that stress she now began to try and consider the matter; to try and see if there was not some way to be found of getting rid of this new, this utterly intolerable wretchedness. What if she made up her mind, she asked herself, to give up Murdough—now, at once, to-night—surely that would give her peace if anything would? She was not bound to marry him, and if she were, his tipsiness and ways of going on recently would be excuse enough, if she wanted or cared about an excuse, which she did not. She lifted her head, and tried to think this new idea clearly out;. to see what it was, and where it led to. Yes, to give him up! to be free; completely free. Surely that was the right thing to do—the right thing and the spirited thing! Yes, she would do it, she resolved. She would see him herself—to-morrow morning the very first thing— she would see him and she would tell him so, that she would.
A glow of tingling satisfaction shot through her as she thought of meeting Murdough the first thing in the morning, and telling him in an easy, off-hand fashion that she had made up her mind and that she was not going to marry him, that he need not think it, for she, had quite made up her mind. Stay, would it not be even better, she next reflected, if she could tell him at the same time that she was going to marry someone else? Someone else, yes; but who else? That had to be decided. Who was there that she could declare on the spur of the moment she intended to marry instead of him? Well, why not Teige O'Shaughnessy? she thought; poor Teige O'Shaughnessy, who was so sober, so industrious, so hardworking, so exactly everything that Murdough was not; who would leap out of his very skin with joy at the bare idea; who would not even need to be informed beforehand; who would do everything she wished: obey her, follow her, worship her all his life, she instinctively knew, just as Pete Durane obeyed, fohlowed, and worshipped Rosha, badly as that termagant treated him.
The idea seemed for the moment a perfectly brilliant one, a haven of refuge; a complete solution for all the miseries of the past few weeks. It stood out before her as a splendid spirited programme, brimful of satisfaction, brimful, above all, of a delightful promise of vengeance. Murdough's rage, Murdough's scorn of poor Teige, Murdough's fury at herself, Murdough's attempts to change her resolution, her own air of jaunty indifference—a sort of parody of his former ones—surely, surely it should be done, and done, too, the very next dayl
She got up and moved about the platform with a sense of having regained her old liberty, with a sense of being once more Grania O'Malley, the cleverest, strongest, richest girl on the whole island. She was about to return to the cabin when—suddenly, like a thunderbolt—the reaction came. She stopped short with a feeling of absolute terror, a feeling of having taken some irrevocable step, a feeling of sheer panic. ' Oh, no, no, no, no, no!' she cried aloud. 'Oh, no, no, no, my God! Sure you know I didn't mean it. You know right well I didn't. 'Twas only mad I was! just mad, out and out, no other!'—Mean it? Better be ill used by Murdough; beaten by Murdough; toil, drudge, be killed by Murdough; better have her heart broken; better have to give up the farm, and be ruined by Murdough, than live prosperously and comfortably with anyone else! The thought of the cabin seen a few weeks before at Cashla, rushed back suddenly upon her mind, but now with none of that previous sense of disgust, none of that horror of revolt and loathing which had filled her then. Even in this extremity, even so, dead drunk in a corner, Murdough was still Murdough—the first; the only one. Idle? yes; tipsy? yes; cold, unkind, indifferent even? yes, yes, yes, still he was Murdough, her Murdough, always the same Murdough, and what did anything else matter?
The love that had come down from the very beginning of things, the love that had never known a break, the love that was a part of herself, a part of everything she saw and touched, of everything she could imagine, the tenderness that had curled itself subtly into every fibre of her body, was not to be dislodged in so summary a fashion. It clung tenaciously; clung only the harder because it ought to be dislodged, because she herself wished to dislodge it. A sudden wave of desperate love, of reckless passion, swept through her, and she stretched out her arms.
'Auch, Murdough, Murdougheen,' she murmured tenderly. 'Where are you, Murdough? where are you then, at all, at all, this dark night? Arrah, come to your poor Grania! Where are you, dear? where are you?'
She ran back to the edge of the platform, and flinging her arms again about the boulder, pressed her cheek against its gritty irresponsive surface. It was like a reconciliation! There had been a quarrel, and now there was no quarrel; none! She and Murdough; she and Murdough; always, always, always she and Murdough. The warm dark night about her, the scarcely audible note of the sea upon the rocks below, the stars blinking sleepily overhead; they all seemed to be so many witnesses and assurances of that reconciliation.

'Millionaire' Sued by Loser
A contestant who won $1000 on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is suing the ABC game show for $2 million, claiming a poorly worded question thwarted his chances of advancing in the game. Mensa member and computer programmer Robert Gelbman, who appeared on "Millionaire" in August, filed his suit in State Superior Court in Manhattan on Wednesday, reports the Associated Press. The 34-year-old Florida resident claims a $32,000 question about the order of the signs of the Zodiac was ambiguously worded. Gelbman used his "50/50" lifeline and asked that two choices be eliminated. Still, he answered incorrectly. "The problem is that the question doesn't specify whether it's based on the Zodiac cycle or the calendar year," Gelbman told AP. ABC offered no comment on the lawsuit.

ActionTrip Editors
In what was quite literally an orange box at the EA showroom in Leipzig, we sat down with a calm and relaxed (though very professional-minded) Valve president, Gabe Newell, who spoke with us about various aspects of the industry in respect to his company's work.
ActionTrip: ... How's that (Steam) been working out for you guys, in terms of your relationship with "classic," retail publishers?
Gabe Newell: I think there was some trepidation at first, but you know, when we do something, like the free weekends, we have much better control over customers. You can say, "You can play for a weekend," and single day sheets of some titles generated three times the "sneakings" of the retail sales, so the retailers go, "oh, this is easy publicity." It's not just about stealing sales from retail; I actually think it's got a lot to do with making customers happy.
ActionTrip: In the long run, how do you see the episodic content working out for you guys?
Gabe Newell: Well, our goal was to do two new episodes of the trilogy and then, sit down with our customers and say, "So what do you think? You've had a chance to see this different a couple of times. Do you want us to continue, or do you want us to shorten? Do you want smaller episodes more often, or do you want us to go back to the larger scale-model?" So, you know, we're giving it a shot and then we'll find out.
ActionTrip: From where we stand, the industry is changing dramatically, in terms of how long it takes to develop games. How do you guys see the future in that respect? Is the development time going to increase even more?
Gabe Newell: Well, for example, we're doing Orange Box and we originally said it was going to be two boxes: the Orange Box and the Black Box. The retailers said "no, we only want to have to get behind one product," and it's that sort of friction - like, "we'll get everything behind one giant release," that's made it hard for risky games like, Rag Doll Kung Fu or Garry's Mod, or Darwinia to be successful in that kind of environment. But that environment has been changed by alternative forms of distribution like Steam. I think that's gonna open the doors towards, you know, a much wider variety, so, I think the path that we were on was heading towards, you know, bigger and bigger projects, with bigger budgets and huge amounts of PR. The opportunity we have is to do things that are more experimental, more gameplay-driven, but are smaller and can still develop a successful audience by using the power (the distribution system).
For something like, I don't know, Darwinia, 70,000 units is like "Woohoo, we're rich, everybody's buying Ferraris!" But 70,000 units for a 20-million-dollar-funded project is a total disaster.
ActionTrip: Are you guys planning to develop any new IPs?
Gabe Newell: You know, if you get two Valve people together, they're inventing new games. We're just sort of looking to find out how much we can design. God, I would love to work on a turn-based strategy game, personally. Maybe we'll get around to it, but not a lot of people would agree. But our ambitions have stripped our ability to ship by a couple of orders of packaging. But I'm sure there will be some doing new worlds, doing new game types. Hopefully, the flexibility we get by going for smaller projects will let us be more experimental rather than spending half a decade to come up with a whole project.
ActionTrip: What about the Source Engine? What are the upgrade plans?
Gabe Newell: Since we've shipped Half-Life 2, we've added HDR, multicore support, we've added some second generation potentials and stuff...
ActionTrip: Do you think you can transition to next-gen with Source?
Gabe Newell: You know, theoretically, there might be a time where it's a problem. I think that the scary thing for us was the ability to take advantage of the multicore systems that have been coming. I think right now it will work well. The thing is that if you have an engine and you pick one piece and then just maintain its adaptings and make everything else stable, it's much easier to ship that code, but if you try to do it with two pieces, or all of the engine at the same time, then it makes it exponentially (harder).
ActionTrip: Like all things in life, basically...
Gabe Newell: Yeah. It's, the more that you can keep it stable, it's easier to find bugs, easier to develop content using that system, and so on. So I think that starting it from scratch is an awfully expensive way of getting much out of it. I think that with some of the engines you see people doing, they're struggling to catch up to gameplay - they pick one "shirt" that looks good and then they say, "there's no AI and our animation looks terrible," and so on.
ActionTrip: Agreed...

LOYSBURG - In a prize fight, reach is considered one of the more important categories in the tale of the tape.
In a matchup of Inter-County Conference high school football heavyweights on Friday night, the longer reach of a couple of Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils proved to be just as vital.
With no other alternatives left available to them, Seth Worthing and Casey Gray stretched out as far as they could with the football to break the plane of the goal-line for second-quarter touchdowns. That was all Bellwood needed, as the Devils turned in an exceptional performance on defense against explosive Northern Bedford to wrap up the ICC Gold Division with a 20-0 decision in a clash of unbeatens at Panther Community Stadium.

Bellwood-Antis' Ian O'Shea celebrates after returning an interception 5 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter.
"It feels really good to beat a good football team like that," B-A coach John Hayes said. "You've got to be pleased."
Worthing scored on a fourth-and-goal play, while Gray managed to dive just inside the pylon as time expired in the first half in pushing the Devils' record to 8-0 overall, 5-0 in the division. Bellwood-Antis hasn't lost to a team that is part of the current ICC since 2003.
Worthing's TD capped a 15-play drive after the Devils took over on downs at their own 25. On fourth down at the Black Panther 1, Worthing looked like he might be stopped, but he kept spinning and squirming and reached back across his own body with the ball, finally drawing the signal that he had broken the plane and what had been a scoreless tie to that point.
"I thought I was in, and I heard people say 'He's in. He's in.' Then I heard someone say, 'He's not.' So I just tried to push that ball over," Worthing said. "Luckily, they called it for me."
It was about as close as Gray's when the junior tailback dove at the corner of the end zone holding the ball in front of him to make it a two-touchdown difference. Gray had 143 yards on 30 carries, and Bellwood rushed for 259.
Gray's touchdown was a back-breaker for Northern Bedford. B-A had gained possession again on downs - this time at its own 29 - with 1:02 left, but managed to cover that distance and score. The Devils did it with a 28-yard hook-and-lateral play and benefited from a late hit out of bounds and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty at the end of a Worthing run to give them first-and-goal at the 4 with 6.2 seconds left in the half.
"Mental and physical mistakes. The last two and a half minutes of the first half were a killer for us," Northern Bedford coach Jeff Batzel said. "We gave them a gift. We played them to pretty much a stalemate in the second half, except for the interception."
The interception about which Batzel was speaking was a pick-six by Blue Devil linebacker Ian O'Shea from the 5-yard line. The stage for it was set, ironically, by one of NB's highlights of the night: A goal-line stand at its 1.
An all-state performer last year, O'Shea was returning from injuries that limited him to about three quarters of action so far this season.
"It couldn't get any better than that. I was just in the right place at the right time," O'Shea said. "I've been thinking of this game all week."
O'Shea's was one of three interceptions for the Devils - Gray and Worthing had the others. Northern Bedford's Blake Over entered the game leading the area with 1,487 yards passing and completing nearly 65 percent of his throws. Bellwood's defense snapped a string of four games in which it allowed more than 100 yards in the air and six where it allowed the opposition to complete at least half of its attempts.
Bellwood held Northern Bedford to 157 yards.
"We knew they passed most of the time. We practiced all week on our coverage," said Gray, who had another interception wiped out by a roughing the passer penalty. "[Having been in big games before] helped us tonight. We know how we're supposed to act in this situation."
The Devils host Glendale next Friday. Northern Bedford will try to bounce back at Williamsburg.
"I think we're very disappointed right now," Batzel said. "But they're kids. They're resilient."

mmmm, AA Tree Fort brew .... sorry, I know that isn't helping. How about some other micros that are lower gravity? Tart cider? Brew your own!
Hey guys!
Been lurking here now for several months, and finally decided to type something out.
My breaking point was last December... 5'9", 200 lbs, 32 years old and not feeling very good trying to come out of the Thanksgiving fog. I had a couple minor health problems...and along with my infant starting to demand more and more of me physically, I decided that the way I was going wasn't "fine" anymore.
So at that point, I started to look for answers...and I was looking for the lifestyle change, not the temporary solution that would literally be lost the second I stopped eating frozen meals from a box. I wanted answers that made sense. Thanks to reading some posts from Karen de Coster, I was pointed to Free The Animal and Mark's Daily Apple...and it made sense!
I was already doing some of the blueprint...I had already cut out soda and processed sugars. I frequently fasted for 15+ hours "just forgetting to eat because I wasn't hungry", so it was very easy for me to embrace a lot of these changes.
In addition, I started modifying my workouts from cardio-fests to high intensity, short workouts...sprinting, throwing around decent sized rocks, pushups, pullups, etc... Also switched from traditional running shoes to a hybrid Vibram/barefoot running approach.
Results? I'm down from 200 to 175(-ish right now, thanks to a wedding-vacation-high school reunion- wedding week...whew!), gained two belt notches, 20 yards to my golf drives, a million compliments, and cut my coffee consumption by 75%.
I've still got some issues that I'm dealing with: Namely beer. I can't resist sweet delicious beer...particularly micro-brews. I've tried to "mitigate the carb damage" by drinking Miller Lite (yeah I know), but I still can't say no. I'm working on it, but it is a very difficult thing for me to overcome...especially when it's 90 degrees outside.
Future goals? Drop another 10-15 lbs. Continue ramping up my strength training. Jogging "barefoot" for 3 miles in under 25 mins. Oh, and finally convincing my vegetarian wife to go Paleo.
Thanks Mark, Karen, Richard and the cast of 100's of others here at MDA...you've all changed my life.
mmmm, AA Tree Fort brew .... sorry, I know that isn't helping. How about some other micros that are lower gravity? Tart cider? Brew your own!
I think my answer really is red wine. But a reom temperature beveridge in the middle of summer isn't so fun. I'm thinking that transition will have to occur in the fall.

Hi guys. I heard about this interview today with Michael Moore. It absolutely was not what I expected. It completely blew me out of my chair. Take the time to watch the whole thing. But, if time is short pay particular attention at what is said from around 11 min 30 sec into the video. And then, please pass it on to others. Thank you:

The Valencia Vikings girls soccer team stood in a circle at Canyon High School and let out a small, almost understated cheer.
The Vikings had just defeated the Canyon Cowboys 7-2 on Friday night to clinch at least a share of their first Foothill League title since 2009.
But it was clear from the response that their mission remains far from accomplished.
Valencia goalkeeper Nicole Joseph could be heard proclaiming the Vikings (13-1-5 overall, 6-0-2 Foothill League) aren't willing to settle for a tie — a sentiment shared by her teammates.
"We don't want to share it. We want to keep going," said Eryn Spencer, who scored three goals in the match. "... It's our goal to go undefeated."
In a game that matched up the top two teams in the Foothill League, Valencia showed signs of dominance.
The Vikings got on the board first in the 15th minute when Bailey Reid assisted Rebecca Harrison on a shot that went off the hands of Canyon goalkeeper Meghan Kennedy and into the back of the net.
Valencia would add two more first-half goals, by Spencer in the 25th minute and Reid in the 30th.
To their credit, the Cowboys (8-7-4, 4-2-2) never stopped fighting.
Canyon found the back of the net in the 36th minute when Mari Kneisel scored her fourth goal in as many games off a free kick from Alissa Munguia.
Things nearly changed a minute later, when Joseph raced toward the sideline to win a ball away from Canyon, but her clearance ricochetted back toward the middle of the field where Canyon players awaited.
But the Cowboys couldn't capitalize on the play and entered halftime down 3-1.
"That goal gets in and it could have changed the momentum of the game," said first-year Canyon head coach Derek Rusk.
Reid would score again in the second, giving her two goals and an assist in the match. Taylor Venegas scored on a penalty kick in the 59th minute to make it 5-1.
Canyon's Kelsi Howard scored for the Cowboys in the 75th minute to make it 5-2, before Spencer completed her hat trick with two goals to round out the scoring.
The Vikings will look to clinch the Foothill League title outright on Tuesday, when they will need only a tie against Hart.
Canyon remains in position for an automatic playoff spot, six games ahead of Saugus for third place, with the two teams squaring off on Tuesday.
