How do your kids get along with their siblings?
I try to remind my kids about eachothers feelings. Like if my five year old just yanks something out of my three year olds hands, then I make her give it back, tell her to ask nicely and wait until he is done with whatever he has. If they fight over the toy, I ask who had it first, usually they are good about not lying about that. My seven year old has gotten pretty good about sharing, the other two we are still working on how to behave towards eachother lol. When it comes to tv time, I make sure they rotate who gets to watch what. To prevent fighting, I usually try to say who does what first when it comes to doing things.
Sometimes though, I do let them figure out how to do it themselves because they are not going to learn if I constantly step in. And for the most part, they figure out how to work with eachother.
My boys get along exceptionally well, but I think it's partly because they are 6.5 years apart, and partly because my oldest is so laid back. I'm surprised how much time they spend together with the age difference, but they are really close. They enjoy spending time together. They're 9 and 15, and I keep waiting for them to go through a rough patch, but it hasn't happened so far.
Mine fight, tattle, and make each other cry all the time. Drives me bananas. Our children are very well-behaved when we are in public places, but they aren't so great at home. Also, I have boys ages 10, 8, and 7 and they cry about everything. I think they are too old to cry about everything, but have no idea how to break it. For example: if we had plans to go visit gma and something comes up they cry. If they are hungry and dinner is in the oven but not done, they cry. Silly stuff. I need a manual. lol.

The conference works from the premise that these political and cultural transformations and the efforts of peoples of European and African descent operated within single analytic framework. The result of their efforts was the reconstitution of Africa within a world context. The conference seeks papers that consider how to reframe this historical period with Africa located at the center of what scholars have previously approached as a strictly western or European discussion, and the ways that Africans and people of African descent rearticulated and re-imagined Africa within this global discussion about the future of civilization and humanity. It seeks papers that (a) consider the changing political and cultural landscape of this period and the ways that civilization, humanity and race figured within this conversation and how Africa and black culture were revised in relation to the new world order that was being articulated; (b) explore how Africans and people of African descent contributed to this discussion, and inserted Africa into World-History narrative and the political economy of the new world order; (d) consider the questions and issues raised by the movements as well as the places, events and circumstances that gave rise to connections and transactions; (f) investigate the ways in which different groups reached across national and imperial boundaries and created unity as women, men, workers, and as racialized and colonized subjects; and (g) explore how these different groups of people conceptualized the world, western civilization, modernity, citizenship, gender, and social and political rights are also encouraged.

whoa I don't know much either but those look awesome!
So just came back from the Dr. and got my blood test results. All he said was, "looks good, see you in a year". LOL. I don't know much but they seem good to me. Too bad I didn't take a before/after test to see what the change was. All the results were in mmol/L which I converted to mg/dL. If any of the conversions seem wrong, let me know. Any comments on the results are welcomed.
Fasting Results
Glucose - 3.8 mmol/l = 68.4 mg/dL
HDL - 1.51 mmol/l = 59 mg/dL
LDL - 2.52 mmol/l = 98 mg/dL
Triglycerides - 0.19 mmol/l = 17 mg/dL
whoa I don't know much either but those look awesome!

A number of age changes occur in the gastro-intestinal tract. These include deterioration in oesophageal motility, prolongation of gut transit time and a consequent possibility of developing constipation. Hiatus hernia is the most common disease of the gastro-intestinal system. It refers to displacement of a portion of the stomach through the opening in the diaphragm through which the oesophagus passes from the chest to the abdominal cavity. In this disease, a part of the upper wall of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm at the point where the gullet passes from the chest area to the abdominal area.
The diaphragm is a large dome-shaped muscle dividing the chest form the abdominal cavity. It is the muscle concerned with breathing and it is assisted by the muscles between the ribs during exertion. It has special openings in it to allow for the passage of important blood vessels and for the food channel, the oesophagus. Hiatus hernia occurs at the oesophagus opening.
There are two main types of hiatus hernia, known as 'sliding' type and 'rolling' or para-oesophageal type. In the first type, which is very common, the upper part of the stomach and the cardio-oesophageal junction rise up through the diaphragm by direct herniation through the hiatus. In the second type, with is far less common, a portion of the upper stomach herniates through the hiatus alongside the oesophagus so that cardio-oesophageal junction maintains its normal relationship to the diaphragm.
Hiatus hernia is characterised by pain in certain areas. The most common areas are behind the breast bone, at the nipple level and at the lower end of the breast bone. Pain also occurs on the left side of the chest and this is often mistaken for angina. Other areas of pain are the base of the throat, right lower ribs and behind the right shoulder blade. The pain increases when the patient stoops with effort and lies down.
Other symptoms of this disease are heart-burn, especially after a meal, a feeling of fullness and bloatedness, flatulence and discomfort on swallowing. The inflammatory changes often result in occult bleeding and when continued leads to iron deficiency anaemia. In feet, hiatus hernia is probably the main cause of iron deficiency anaemia due to blood loss in elderly patients.
The chief cause of the mechanical defect associated with hiatus hernia is faulty diet. The consumption of white flour, refined sugar and products made from them such as cakes, pastries, biscuits and white bread as well as preservatives, and flavouring devitalise the system and weaken the muscle tone. As a cosequence, the muscles become less resilient, and connective and fibrous tissue suffers through poor nourishment, and thus becomes more prone to decomposition and damage. This ultimately leads to diseases like hiatus hernia.
In the beginning of the treatment, it will be advisable to raise the head end of the bed by placing bricks below the legs of the bed. This will prevent the regurgitation of food during the night. More pillows can also be used for the same purpose.

I made this one recently and it came out really nice.
Coconut flour pancakes:
4 eggs, room temp preferably (I didn't mind this step, but I did let them sit out for a bit)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 cup coconut milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon honey (I didn't have this, ended up using real maple syrup, just cus I had nothing else and I did want them a little sweet)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
whisk whole eggs for about 2 minutes until frothy. Add coconut milk, honey and vanilla to wet mix. Separately mix dry ingredients together. Bring both together and mix thoroughly, let it sit for about 10-20 mins to break up the fiber a bit, otherwise they may be too dry and clumpy. Fry up as you normally would, I used extra virgin coconut oil.
I also made a blueberry compote, one cup frozen blueberries, couple spoons of water, some table sugar (sorry paleo army =/) and a teaspoon of lime juice - simmered on low for like 8 mins until it's syrupy.
Thanks to the compote, we didn't use any maple syrup and only a bit of butter on them - it was a nice change. My instagram pic came out pretty nice, as well - always important.
Another quick and dirty one that I haven't tried yet but sounds like it would work nicely is just grabbing some bananas and eggs, blending or mashing those together and frying that up pancake style. Of course, feel free to add extra fruits like blueberries on top of it, but the "batter" would be made of bananas and eggs only. I've also seen people add almond butter to the batter.

and I use a TI PCI card to provide a socket for the pcmcia card.
On Sunday 10/2603 two things happened: First durring time change I selected
option to sync time with Red Hat server. Worked fine to there. Later that
night we had a local power failure. - Did not appear to have spike just
dropped power for a time.
System will not come up in normal boot since that time.
When I try to boot with everyting in place it starts booting normally and
last good message I get is
"Initializing random number generator [OK]"
next message is:
"Starting pcmcia: Yenta IRQ list 0000, PCI IRQ11"
"Socket status 10000011"
The system hangs and will not go further.
I remove the pcmcia card and get to the same place with the exception of the
messages are the same except for
"Socket status 10000047"
The system hangs and goes no further - does not time out and bypass
I remove the PCI card and get to the same place (random number message) and
get the message
"DS: No socket drivers loaded!"
I can boot using rescue and get to the hard drive and all the data.
I would appreciate any and all suggestions.
Thank you.

Wind, rain and more of both on the way.
That's been life in Anderson County in April, as storm system after storm system continues to dump buckets of rain on our heads and send us scurrying for closets, basements and storm shelters when the wind kicks up.
Through Monday, just over 9 inches of rain has fallen in Anderson County during April, one of the wettest on record.
Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway grimaced, thought about it, then said it anyway.
Knowing that he's certain to get some serious blowback, Conway floated a trial balloon during last Tuesday's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court to make trash collection mandatory county-wide.
Conway stressed that the idea is just that — an idea — and that he's very interested in getting feedback from the public.
It all came out of the blue for Chris Fitzpatrick.
Check that. It all came out of the purple last fall when Anderson County football coach Mark Peach handed his junior center that first recruiting letter.
It was LSU.
Yes, that LSU. As in Les Miles, Saturday night in Baton Rouge, Geaux Tigers and all that goes with it.
Purdue started mailing. So did Northwestern, Boston College and Western Kentucky. Kentucky has also begun to call.
It seems like a lot of hullabaloo over a guy who is only noticed when he messes up.
The Anderson County Middle School eighth-grade volleyball team was runner-up in its conference tournament, held April 15.

Anderson County resident Kristen Hamrick has been named an honorable mention All-Mid-South Conference tennis selection in voting by the league's coaches.
Hamrick, a freshman, had posted a 14-4 record going into Monday's MSC Tournament championship match. The Tigers fell to Lindsey Wilson, 5-4, in the tournament final.
Hamrick, who played in last year's Kentucky high school state tournament, helped lead Campbellsville to its first Mid-South regular season championship

Beard and Holmes on Constitutional Adjudication
Adrian Vermeule
Harvard Law School
January 6, 2014
Constitutional Commentary, Forthcoming
Harvard Public Law Working Paper No. 14-04
What is the connection, if any, between the external perspective of the historian or political scientist and the internal perspective of lawyers and judges? That is the puzzle for constitutional law posed by Charles Beard's classic, An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States (1913). Beard challenges us either to reconcile our external and internal perspectives on constitutionalism, or else conceivably to declare them irreconcilable.
I begin by showing that standard approaches to constitutional adjudication – originalism and Dworkinian moralism – are resolutely internal and thus have little use for the external standpoint of Beardian scholarship. I then describe a strategy of reconciliation offered by Justice Holmes, one that connects external and internal perspectives by means of a nonideal theory of constitutional judging under political constraints. The theory holds that the rational judge chooses the course of action that, at lowest possible cost, adjusts constitutional law and policy to match "the actual equilibrium of force in the community – that is, conformity to the wishes of the dominant power[]." In this framework, Beardian scholarship offers external analysis of the shape and force of the political constraints that the Holmesian judge should take into account when making constitutional law. External Beardian scholarship helps to delineate the feasible political options or possibilities for constitutional law, a critical datum from the internal but nonideal perspective of the Holmesian judge.

"I hope Jon and Kate can set aside their differences and keep in mind that their children come first"
Anita Maggio Overland Park, Kans.
Thank you for your article on Jon Gosselin. No matter what anyone says, I completely respect him for not speaking out against Kate or discussing private family matters.
Leticia Toledo New York, N.Y.
I have a great idea: How about if Jon goes out and gets a real job and then Kate can stay home with the kids. Without all the perks he's grown used to, Jon will probably lead a much quieter life. But, hey, lots of us do it.
Karen Garber via e-mail
Marriage is not easy. Jon and Kate need to press on even if the times are rough right now. If they can stay together, many years down the road they will really be proud of themselves.
Susan Schlafmann Turtle Lake, N.Dak.
As a lifelong resident of New Jersey, I am very discouraged to see how our state is portrayed on shows like The Sopranos and The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The average person here is educated, has no discernible accent and dresses in an understated style. It would be refreshing to see an accurate depiction of people in the Garden State.

As I looked at the photograph of Prince Harry shaking hands with the little girl whose mother was widowed in the 9/11 tragedy, I had thoughts of his mother, Lady Diana. She would be so proud to see her son demonstrating the same compassion for others that she exhibited in her own life.

June 10 would have been Robbie Goodrich's third wedding anniversary. But instead of celebrating with his wife, he cast some of her ashes from the bridge where the couple had made their vows near Marquette, Mich. As reported in our June 15 issue, Susan died Jan. 11 from an embolism hours after their son Moses was born. In a remarkable turn of events, 25 Marquette women then banded together to take turns nursing or pumping breast milk for the child. Says Robbie about the women's ongoing efforts: "For all the health benefits of breast-feeding, I think the nurturing love Moses receives from each of the moms is just as important." Reader Angie Nolle of Tecumseh, Kans., agreed: "As I read this story, I nursed my own son and held him a little tighter, thankful for the time we have together."
In our 6/29 issue, a photograph of actor Gale Hansen was incorrectly identified as Josh Charles. We regret the error.

His real name was Hiram, but he never used it.
He went to West Point because his education would be free. He expected he'd serve in the Civil War as a colonel. He was a lousy businessman and hated politics.
Those are just some of the highlights in a unique perspective of U.S. Army Gen. Ulysses S. Grant — later President Grant — by his long-time portrayer Robert Mulvihill.
Mulvihill will appear as the general, along with his wife, Roxie, portraying Mrs. Julia Grant, during the 7th Michigan Cavalry Civil War Round Table annual banquet set for April 14 in Bay City.
The banquet begins at 7 p.m. at the Stein Haus, 1108 N. Water St. in downtown Bay City. The public is invited to the dinner and reservations must be made by April 9. The cost is $20 per person and reservations can be made by calling Keith Markstrom at 893-0819.
Mulvihill, a retired dentist from the Jackson area, is familiar to many visitors of the yearly River of Time Historical Encampment in Bay City where he has appeared as both Gen. Grant and as President Grant.
He said he often finds that as he talks about Grant, he drifts into talking in the first-person, suddenly taking on the Grant persona.
Grant, known to his military friends as "Sam," was enrolled at West Point by his father because it was tuition free, although Grant wasn't thrilled with the idea.
"He got the nickname because his initials by that time were U.S. and the Uncle Sam character was something that had just been developed, so Grant's friends teased him by giving him the name 'Sam,'" Mulvihill said. "He had great fun with that and the nickname stuck with him his whole life with his friends from West Point.
Of course, he had friends from West Point on both sides in the Civil War, including Robert E. Lee."
Lee, Mulvihill said, was older than Grant and actually was his commanding officer during the Mexican War. "Later, Lee told Grant he remembered him, but I doubt that he really did."
Mulvihill, of Pleasant Lake, said he became involved in portraying Grant simply because he had been active in community theater in Jackson over 14 years ago and Steve Alexander, who portrays General George A. Custer was looking for someone to play Grant during that area's annual Civil War Muster presentation.
"Someone suggested that I would play the part, and in fact, I look like Grant, based on old photographs," Mulvihill said, noting he has played the part ever since, along with his wife who was fascinated by Grant's wife, Julia.
Some of the most interesting points he has learned about Grant in conducting research for the part involve Grant's personal makeup.
"First of all, he wasn't a drunk," Mulvihill said, pointing out that the common myths about Grant always refer to his drinking. "Actually, he couldn't hold liquor well, so he didn't drink. When he was president, he only would have one glass of wine for the purpose of toasting."
He was not good in business in civilian life and when the war broke out, he offered his services in the state militia in Illinois, believing he would serve out the conflict as a colonel, but it would not take long for his leadership skills to show and he was promoted.
Mulvihill said that after the war, when he ended up being nominated for president as a Republican, he admitted to having voted only once in his life and that was as a Democrat. Still, the Republicans believed his name alone would attract an overwhelming number of votes, which it did.
One story Mulvihill uses to illustrate some of Grant's shortcomings as a politician was his ill-considered plan to integrate the recently freed slaves into society by sending them all to El Salvador for two years to be educated in living in a non-slave society.
"He wanted to annex El Salvador to the United States as a place for the slaves to go to learn about living in a free society and then after a couple of years, they could come back home," Mulvihill said. "Fortunately, that idea didn't get very far, although it was considered for a time in Congress."

OKC beat Orlando 80-78. A few quick notes while we prepare for the LeBrocolypse tonight.
- No James Harden, no Eric Maynor meant more Mustafa Shakur and more Kyle Weaver. And both played pretty well. Shakur actually played REALLY well. Shakur netted 21 on 6-10 shooting, dished out five assists and only turned it over once. He was in control throughout the game and never wavered in confidence. I said last year he is an NBA roster player. Someone is going to grab him eventually. For shame OKC really doesn't have room.
- Weaver on the other hand showed some good and bad. Good: scoring 21 points. Bad: taking 21 shots to do it (7-21). Good: seven assists. Bad: five turnovers. But Weaver went 3-6 from deep and the fact he actually took 21 shots is semi-encouraging. Normally he's passive to a fault. He really tried to assert himself today.
- Robert Vaden is 1-9 from 3 this summer. That's not so good for a 3-point specialist.
- Byron Mullens finished with 12 today, but he grabbed nine rebounds. Progress! He went 6-13 from the floor but didn't attempt a free throw.
- Speaking of, OKC took just 18 freebies today, way down from the usual 40.
- D.J. White didn't play today so that meant more Latavious Williams and Ryan Reid, which I'm happy about. We pretty much know what White has to offer at this point. Good for the youngsters to get some run. Williams was quiet, scoring just two points on 1-5 shooting in 24 minutes. Reid was a bulldog again, scoring 12 points and grabbing five boards. I'm liking Reid more and more. He's a worker, and those are never bad to have around.
OKC closes summer league play tomorrow at 7 a.m. CT against Indiana.

I was overjoyed when I tried zucchini spaghetti and loved it. I am a major lover of Italian foods, and have been slightly sad to give up eating lots of noodles. If you hadn't gathered from my recent recipes popping up, I am going a bit more healthy with my meal choices. 😉
I learned about Zucchini Spaghetti in a video. In order to get a good "noodle" from the zucchini, I recommend getting one of these cutters. It's the one we use and it works beautifully!
It's SO simply to make zucchini spaghetti!!
I am also happy to report my husband loves it! (not my children, but I am hoping they will get on board someday. 😉 )
First you wash the Zucchini. I like to cut them in half for ease. Put them on the slicer and viola! Zucchini spaghetti!
While you are doing that, I'd heat up your favorite spaghetti sauce. Once the noodles are cut, simply put them on a dish or in a bowl and top with the sauce.
I'd serve this with a bread of some sort, but it's also just fine by itself making a GREAT carb free dish. Not to mention, a very healthy one at that! 🙂
- Fresh Zucchini (Amount depends on how many you are serving)
- Spaghetti Sauce
- Wash
- Cut Zucchini in half
- Use with a zucchini spaghetti maker.
- Top with heated spaghetti sauce

About This Book
In a spare urban fable, Bob Graham brings us one small boy, one loving family, and one miraculous story of hope and healing.
"No one saw the bird fall."
In a city full of hurried people, only young Will notices the bird lying hurt on the ground. With the help of his sympathetic mother, he gently wraps the injured bird and takes it home. In classic Bob Graham style, the beauty is in the details: the careful ministrations with an eyedropper, the bedroom filled with animal memorabilia, the saving of the single feather as a good-luck charm for the bird's return to the sky. Wistful and uplifting, here is a tale of possibility, and of the souls who never doubt its power.

Erie's homeless population to be counted this week
In January 2013, a one-day survey that helps local agencies learn more about the homeless found the number of homeless children, and Erie County's unsheltered homeless population, sharply on the rise.
That annual study will be conducted again Friday, documenting the circumstances of the region's growing ranks of homeless.
The single-point-in-time survey, a nationwide count since 1986 that tracks homeless trends, has been coordinated by Erie County's Department of Human Services since 1994.
Nearly a dozen community outreach advocates and volunteers will comb the streets and other areas on Friday at known locations for where homeless people sleep.
Staff members at the 26 agencies that provide support and services for the county's homeless will count the number of clients and beds filled, collecting information that could help social-service groups assist and care for the homeless.
There are nearly 800 beds at Erie County shelters, transitional housing systems and permanent support groups.
"This survey is extremely critical," said Mark Alexa, a housing specialist with the county's Department of Human Services. "We need to know where we should be putting our resources. This survey tells us that."
The department on Friday will work with Erie County Care Management, a nonprofit that provides mental health services, and the Erie United Methodist Alliance, a homeless program that runs shelters in Erie, to gather data through the point-in-time surveys.
Outreach workers will try to assess the problems of the region's homeless, asking about their health, family history, and whether they have any substance-abuse issues.
All data from the surveys will be tabulated by the Susan Hirt Hagen Center for Community Outreach, Research and Evaluation at Penn State Behrend.
C.O.R.E. officials will analyze the data and track trends before issuing a report to the Department of Human Services by mid-March.
Alexa will then send that report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the federal agency that allots housing funds and evaluates homeless programs nationwide.
Erie County currently receives $2.2 million annually in HUD funding.
Alexa said the county is eligible for additional HUD funding if the survey shows decreases in chronic homelessness and family homelessness.
Officials have asked local law enforcement agencies to help with Friday's count, bringing any homeless people to the city of Erie's overnight overflow shelter at Church of the Covenant, 250 W. Seventh St.
Several city churches, in response to area homeless shelters often reaching maximum capacity, began operating a rotating mobile shelter in November 2012.
The January 2013 point-in-time survey recorded 1,195 homeless individuals.
Officials admit homeless counts don't portray a complete picture of the homeless population.
Alexa estimates the county's overall homeless population to be closer to 1,500.
The 2013 study tracked a few troubling trends among the region's homeless.
In last year's survey, 255 children were counted as living in homeless families, up from 128 children reported in 2012.
Most of the 255 were living in shelters, or in transitional housing, local homelessness advocates said.
The lowest number of children recorded as living with homeless families in Erie County in the past decade was 63 in 2004. The previous highest figure was 148 children in 2008.
Seeing the number of reported homeless children double in a 12-month span has recently fueled local social-service leaders to try to obtain funding for a homeless shelter for children only. Officials hope to have that shelter operating in the city of Erie by August.
Erie County also in the 2013 point-in-time survey had its highest-ever recorded number of unsheltered homeless.
The county's unsheltered homeless population -- those who sleep in tents or on the streets instead of staying overnight in shelters -- nearly quadrupled the total in 2012, soaring from 46 to 160.

Even when they are not playing baseball, they injure themselves.
Saturday, Loyalsock pitcher Roger Wilson was swimming when he broke his finger. He joined a list of injured Lancers that has grown to near ridiculous portions throughout the season. Yet, there Wilson was Monday against Lakeland, coming in as a pinch-runner and scoring as Loyalsock blanked the District 2 champions, 6-0.
Welcome to Loyalsock baseball 2013 where bumps, bruises and pain have become requirements.
"We're 19-3 and we're banged up. We are like a walking hospital right now," Loyalsock coach Jeremy Eck said. "It's just finding a way at this point."
And yet, Loyalsock once again is one of the state's top eight Class AA teams. Through all the injuries and all the adversity, Loyalsock is still standing. The Lancers play Delone Catholic Thursday at Pine Grove in the state quarterfinals. It is the fourth time in six seasons Loyalsock (19-3) has reached the state's Elite 8, but this time might be the most impressive.
Nothing has come easy, but nothing has fazed Loyalsock. Look at the Lancers' starting lineup Monday and one saw a group of players who have dealt with at least one painful injury this season and sometimes several. The pitching staff has been a MASH unit throughout the season and things were complicated when one of the team's best pitchers and players was kicked off the team.
So many times, Loyalsock could have buckled but instead it has thrived. Now the Lancers are three wins away from capturing a state championship.
"We fight back," said Robbie Klein, who had two key hits against Lakeland. "It shows we're mature."
Loyalsock proved that again Monday, snapping Lakeland's 16-game winning streak in its own back yard while handing ace Eric Grabowski his first loss in nine decisions. It was a win that showed as much about the team's toughness as its talent, coming just three days after Loyalsock suffered a heart-breaking 7-5, nine-inning District 4 championship against Hughesville.
The Lancers again showed their resilience in that game, scoring four runs in the bottom of the seventh to force extra innings but the loss stung. Instead of sulking and wondering what could have been, Loyalsock regrouped and thought about what could be. And now they are right where they want to be.
"It's huge. We knew we couldn't win them all, but we have the team to win states, so we had to go out and get it done," said Luke Glavin after throwing 3 2/3 scoreless innings and striking out five. "It's a fresh start for us. We were happy to have it."
Glavin is one of the many pitchers who has been sidelined at least once during the season. No matter what, though, Loyalsock keeps finding ways to win. It rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat Towanda 4-3 in the district quarterfinals before Klein's walk-off walk capped a dramatic 2-1 semifinal win over Montoursville. All this after winning 13 straight regular-season games and overcoming a deficit to win a fifth straight HAC-II championship.
When one player has gone down, another one has stepped forward. Eck and his coaching staff have constantly shuffled things around and it keeps working out.
Loyalsock entered the season as defending district champions and the favorite to repeat. So many things have happened that could have broken the team and made the state quarterfinals an afterthought. Opponents already knew how talented Loyalsock was, but now they know these players are, too.
"I'm so proud of these guys," Eck said. "It's never easy to make a run like we're making."
But keep running they do. Its tank has been near empty for large portions this season, but Loyalsock hopes to keep running toward glory.

For a long time, it looked like the love affair between the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and blockbuster drugs - those that produce $1 billion or more a year in sales - could last.
But as the industry known as Big Pharma deals with patent expirations and its pipelines struggle to produce the next big success, they find themselves unable to sustain the momentum.
As a result, they're cutting back on their own staffs and increasingly outsourcing their research and development. And while that trend may provide more opportunity for the small biotech and life sciences companies of the world, the same R&D rules apply: It can take 10 to 15 years and hundreds of millions of dollars to develop and bring one drug to market.
Getting It to Market
Pharmaceutical companies' research and development has grown more time-consuming and complex as they try to develop drugs for more complex conditions. It takes, on average, 10 to 15 years for a drug to go from discovery to the medicine chest, according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America industry group. Here's an overview of the process, according to PhRMA.Drug discovery: Thousands of compounds are screened, producing hundreds of potential drugs. Certain compounds are then chosen to develop further. Preclinical testing: It starts with lab and animal testing and takes years. Scientists also study how drugs move through the body, what a drug's shelf life would be and how it could be packaged. File an IND: An IND, or "Investigational New Drug" application, is filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The application includes a detailed clinical trial plan. Clinical trials: These tests are done on humans to see if a drug is safe. Phase I is healthy volunteers, Phase II is 100 to 500 people who have the disease and Phase III is 1,000 to 5,000 people to generate statistically significant data. New drug application: If the clinical trial finding show the drug is safe and effective, the company files an NDA, or new drug application, with the FDA. FDA Review/Approval: This is the final stage of review. If approved, the medicine becomes available for doctors and patients. Ongoing studies: Studies continue after a drug is approved to test the drugs on a bigger group of patients and monitor for rare side effects.

The problems faced by Pfizer show what's wrong with the blockbuster model and why Big Pharma is looking to smaller firms to share the risk.
As much as half of Big Pharma's product portfolio comes from licensing and partnerships, said Mina P. Sooch, founder and general partner at Apjohn Ventures Fund, a Kalamazoo-based fund that invests in early-stage life sciences companies.
But that wasn't always the case for large pharmaceutical companies.
"Ten years ago, they would have said, `We'll consider (joint ventures), we'll consider working together with a smaller company - but we have great R&D and we will be discovering and taking to market all our own compounds,"' Sooch said. "They have historically preferred to do it themselves."
The model is broken
Blockbuster drugs were well-established by the early- to mid-1990s. In 2004, there were more than 20 on the market selling at least $1 billion each in the U.S., and many of them selling more than that, according to consulting firm IMS Health.
The best-selling among them is Pfizer's Lipitor, the cholesterol-lowering drug launched in 1998 with an industry-leading $13 billion in sales each year. In 2005, Pfizer had as many as nine blockbusters, including Celebrex, Viagra and Zyrtec.
When a blockbuster hits the market, profits soar.
But the window to maximize the return on investment is generally small because patent protection, generally 20 years, begins when a patent is filed for a newly discovered compound. It can take 10 or 15 years to turn a compound into an approved drug, when it can be sold to consumers. If there's nothing in the pipeline to replace the revenue when a patent expires, a company may be forced to take action to survive Wall Street's scrutiny.
"It's tough to grow year over year because of what happens when a drug goes generic," noted Joe Tooley, an analyst at A.G. Edwards. "It's more dramatic than it ever was before. The products are bigger and the (revenue) erosion is more rapid than it's ever been, and that hurts."
Pfizer will lose exclusivity on Lipitor, its key revenue provider, in 2010. Anticipating the revenue loss, Pfizer began restructuring in 2005. Things were accelerated in November when, due to safety concerns, the New York-based company unexpectedly stopped development of torcetrapib, another cholesterol drug heralded as the next blockbuster.
Torcetrapib is proof of just how chancy drug development can be. Pfizer spent $1 billion on the drug before pulling the plug, and in some ways, that's the norm: The majority of discoveries don't make it to market.
Of 5,000 to 10,000 screened compounds, 250 enter preclinical testing and five enter human clinical trials, but only one is approved by the Food and Drug Administration, according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, a trade group.
Pfizer is coping with its problems by cutting 10,000 jobs and closing down several sites, including Ann Arbor's R&D facility, which will be shuttered by the end of next year.
Under fire
Those aren't the only pressures faced by pharmaceutical companies.
In Michigan, the House of Representatives voted to repeal a law that supporters say prevents residents from suing drug companies when they are harmed or die after taking a prescription drug. Drug companies say repealing the law will trigger lawsuits that the state's economy can't afford.
Meanwhile, the cost of drugs continues to outpace inflation, according to AARP. The prices that drugmakers charge wholesalers and other direct purchasers for about 200 brand-name drugs rose 6 percent during the 12 months ending in September, compared with a 3.7 percent inflation rate.
That's angering governments, insurance companies and consumer groups pushing for lower prices.
Consumers have become accustomed to curing their ills with drugs and continue to demand them, some say more than ever because of direct-to-consumer marketing. Americans age 50 and older use an average of four prescriptions a day, according to AARP.
Prescription spending in the U.S. doubled to $15 billion between 1970 and 2002, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
For the drugmakers, producing the best-sellers is becoming more difficult.
More money is being spent on R&D - U.S. pharmaceutical and biotech research companies spent a record $55.2 billion last year on R&D, 7 percent more than in 2005, according to PhRMA and Burrill & Co.
Clinical trials are the most expensive part of R&D, said Frank Ascione, dean of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Michigan, and it's become tougher to recruit and retain human subjects for study.
"The size of the trials have increased because of safety issues," Ascione said. "Adverse effects - by definition - are relatively rare, so you need a larger group of people to identify those issues."
He added that the high failure rate of drug discovery costs money, with companies often investing millions in research that goes nowhere.
"The companies are trying to make the pipelines tighter by getting more predictability and outsourcing some of it" to reduce costs and lower risk, he added.
If R&D is so risky, why have drug companies been so profitable?
Pharmaceutical companies have a "legal monopoly" in patent protection, said Tom Kinnear, a professor at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and executive director of its Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies.
"The view was they wouldn't take the risk without the patent protections," he said. "Patents are basically the incentive to develop new things, and quite frankly it's worked out well for this country."
The product pipeline still will be critical to pharmaceutical companies' success.
New model?
Pipelines for many of the major pharmaceutical companies are now focused on cancer, cardiovascular health, inflammation and neuroscience - areas that will no doubt affect tens of millions of baby boomers as they age.
Kinnear sees the new R&D model as one where Big Pharma goes for "singles and doubles" instead of "home runs," or blockbusters.
That doesn't mean the blockbuster will go away.
"Will the blockbuster model continue? Yes, because there still is a need for big hits and there's a lot of diseases we haven't cured," U-M's Ascione said. "They're still investing a great deal of money. The real issue is how to invest it."
The industry was organized for the blockbuster approach, Ascione said, with companies putting hefty resources into specific therapeutic areas and having complete control.
That "vertical approach" of doing everything - discovering, developing, testing and taking a drug to market - hasn't worked out as well as they thought it would, he said.
"Working with small biotech, or partnering with them along the way ... the expectation is that the biotech industry will become more valuable as the industry becomes less vertical and more horizontal," he said.
But the reality is this: Not all small biotech and life sciences companies will make it or be considered for purchase by Big Pharma. In fact, most won't.
People working at the smaller biotechs understand the risk and are focused on pursuing a scientific target, he said.
"What really drives them is the motivation and belief in the treatments they are going after, and they are guided by their results," said Stephen Rapundalo, executive director of MichBio, the Ann Arbor-based life sciences industry association.
That's something J.J. Shaw would understand.
He's the head of a small Ann Arbor company, Unitech Pharmaceuticals, which is developing drugs to treat cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and other conditions.
"I think my real motivation is this: When I was in high school, my father had cancer and it hit me very, very hard," he said. That led him to become a researcher, eventually at a large pharmaceutical company.
But people feared losing their jobs if their ideas failed, he said. "And I realized there was no way a big company will take my idea," which prompted him to break out on his own.
He's not derailed by the possibility of failure and thinks Big Pharma shifting the R&D risk to small firms could help companies like his.
"The positive side is if you can survive (as a company), then you have hope," Shaw said. "We're trying to survive and if we can get an exciting project and exciting data, then maybe Big Pharma will come to us."

Flood hits Johnstown
Johnstown Flood: On June 1, citizens of Erie awoke to news that an estimated 1,200 to 1,300 had perished in a May 31 flood in Johnstown, 175 miles southeast of Erie.
Erie Times solicitor S.J. Herron, in Johnstown on the day of the flood, told of "most thrilling" scenes of rescue as the streets disappeared under the rising tide. Herron left Johnstown at 2 p.m. Shortly after 3 p.m., as the falling rain swelled the Conemaugh River, the South Fork Dam burst, sending a 40-foot wall of water through the town. By June 3, casualty estimates were as high as 8,000, and the Times reported, "the city is literally a ruin, the description of which is simply impossible." Though the actual death toll was 2,209, the flood still marked the largest loss of civilian life in the United States at that time.
In the aftermath of the flood, the Times held a 25 cent relief fund. Billed as "a medium by which workingmen, women and children may aid distressed humanity," the collection raised $22.60 by June 4. In all, Erieites sent $10,000 in aid to Johnstown, including $1,500 from businessman William L. Scott.
ALSO IN 1889: A $2,000 salary is established for the Erie mayor.

Nathan Stanley, Raymond Cotton, Randall Mackey
Stanley – long and lean at 6-5 with Snead-like mobility. 11-for-23, 1 TD, 1 INT on the year, mostly mop-up duty. 2-for-7 with a pick in the Cotton Bowl. Has shown nice touch on the deep ball during workouts. At times early on threw more practice picks than coaches were comfortable with.
Cotton – Thicker than Stanley and still 6-4. Gets credit for his mobility and sometimes people forget to talk about his arm, but it's strong and can be accurate.
Randall Mackey – The most athletic of the group. Had Snead come back Mackey would have had some type of role most likely either at Wild Rebel or receiver. With Snead gone he becomes a legitimate option for the full-time starter. While Mackey has tremendous upside he also has complications. Right now he is only a verbal commit who is expected to sign and be on campus sometime in the summer. It was hoped that he would sign in December but one class kept that from happening. Once he gets on campus you're asking a brand new player to learn your most complex position and be ready to go, not just to be average but to be very good, in a matter of weeks. Not an easy thing to do, but he will be given every chance.
The guess is the starter comes from Stanley or Cotton and that Stanley's very limited game experience gives him only a slight edge in the race with plenty of time and opportunity for Cotton to make a move if he can.
Mackey will still have a role, and it will be increased, but winning the job will be hard.

Louisiana Muddin' with Gorilla Axle 0
"Man down! I've been bit! MAN DOWN!" I screamed as I watched the thick red blood spouting from my punctured appendage. The gator, unperturbed by my shrieking, gazed menacingly up at me, mouth stretched in a wide, toothy grin. He looked rather pleased with himself. As my life-source continued to seep out of me and the pain started to dull, I realized how cool it was going to be to tell my friends back home that I got viciously attacked by on alligator in a Louisiana swamp. It was so backcountry badass that I could barely contain my excitement. A fresh gushing of blood brought me back to my impending death by crocodile consumption. Do they even have doctors here? My Yankee mind was worried, and my California-born companion, Nick Nielson, looked equally grim. As the gator took a slow, stealthy step towards me, I began to think that maybe, just maybe, this trip was a bad idea.
Three days earlier, I met up with Nick at the Schreveport airport, a typical tiny airport that caters to puddle-jumper flyboys. Nick was the associate editor of the now defunct Quad mag, and his boss had sent us down here to meet up with the bayou's famous Gorilla Axle boys to do some hard-core mud riding. We had never met before, and all I knew about Nick was that he made the podium in some major quad races, including the Baja 500 and 1000. As far as I knew, we were both mud virgins.
After arriving, I scanned the small terminal and found Nick at the airport bar sipping on a tallboy. I liked him already. So this was a guy who was willing to follow me into the deep murky swamps of the Louisiana bayou with total redneck strangers. We shook hands, he threw back the rest of his beer, and we were on our way. As we walked through the double doors into the bright southern sunshine, the theme song from "Deliverance" started playing softly in the back of my head. I hoped we knew what we were getting ourselves into.
The next day I found out that all that worrying about the pillaging our anal orifices was completely unfounded—the guys at Gorilla Axle weren't hardcore rednecks at all. Well, hardcore, yes—but they were some of the most professional and passionate businessmen and quad riders I've met. Don't get me wrong, they weren't so out of control that they wore business suits. But these guys live, work and ride in some of the harshest conditions around. There are few, if any, motocross tracks and there are no cushy sand dunes to tear up. Their passion is for mud, and lots of it. All they have here is miles and miles of swamp, and they devote their time to creating monstrous quads that can tackle the deep mud pits that rule their terrain. Riding an ATV at slow speeds, breaking parts, getting winched out of holes and being neck deep in mud are all parts of a typical riding day for the Gorilla guys. That, and pushing the capabilities of their ATVs beyond their physical limits to create a machine that redefines the boundaries of the sport.
For those of you not familiar with Gorilla Axle (and you should be) they are an aftermarket ATV Company specializing in heavy-duty axles and lift kits for utility quads and side-by-sides. These guys are out of Monroe, Louisiana, right in the heart of the bayou. They take every mud ATV event on with authority.
Owner Jason Shanas gave us a tour of the facility that finished off at a warehouse filled with about 25 of the largest ATV's we had ever seen. Nick and I both thought of ourselves as relatively accomplished riders (more Nick than I), but this was the moment when we realized we might be a little out of our league.
We asked Jason how he got into the business of building monster quads and he explained that he used to own a small automotive shop specializing in front end repair. Local customers bringing in their ATV CV axles for repair led to him designing his own HD axle that would hold up to the big tires and lift kits that people in his area were running. He soon found that his axles were able to withstand higher loads and greater CV angles, and that led to the development of Gorilla Axle suspension lifts. The ATV market quickly took over any time that he had for automotive business, and they are still growing today.
After a pep talk and a shower, we all headed downtown to a small roadside shack for Nick's first experience eating crawdads. It goes without saying that people in Louisiana can eat. But the boys from Gorilla Axle take their eating about as seriously as their mud riding. As soon as we had our food, Brandon, the smallest guy in the group, proceeded to annihilate everyone in what appeared to be a race to the bottom of our 5-pound buckets of mud bugs. I'm proud to say I held my own, finishing before two of the locals. Nick finished last. Photographers 1, editors 0.
Early the next morning, we met at the shop—not even the slightest bit hungover—and made the quick 15-minute drive to the secret Gorilla testing grounds for some swamp riding. I saddled up on a mostly stock Can-Am 800 with pretty much nothing but big oversized mud tires and a complete Gorilla Axle snorkel set-up. We started in on a loop through what seemed like a dense forest with a trail system wandering through numerous quad-swallowing mud pits and swamps. As we wound through the murky swamp, I started to get a little nervous. The crawdads I ate the night before were making their comeback, leaking out of my butt in little puffs of gator-baiting mud bug essence. Don't alligators eat crawfish? I hoped I wasn't sending the reptilian bastards the wrong message, and I kept a close watch on my peripherals for flashes of hungry gators licking their chops.
Halfway through our loop we stopped so I could grab some quick shots. After I had finished, we continued our ride through the forest and back to the truck, only to find that the keys to our truck were missing. Apparently, during the ride they had fallen prey to one of the countless muddy abysses that we rode through. Right then we learned rule #1 of swamp riding: If you plan on answering your phone multiple times while romping through the mud, don't put your keys in the same pocket as your cell. After a brief delay a spare key was delivered and we drove to our next spot. The next location was a friend's house that backed right up to the bayou. I used this chance to take some more killer shots, and then we played around a little on the quads at the edge of the bayou. At some point, one of the locals, Hoyt, decided he was going to take his lifted monster straight across the bayou. I have to admit that I took one look at his planned route and assumed we'd be fishing the guy out of the swamp in pieces by the end of the day. But, the guys from Gorilla assured us that this kind of behavior was completely normal.
Sure enough, Hoyt proceeded to run his quad out about fifty yards until you couldn't see anything but the handle bars, and then it died. When it comes to deepwater ATV riding, it's pretty much a fact that the last thing you want is for the engine to die. The snorkels keep the intake bringing in dry air until very deep water, but the exhaust coming out is the only thing keeping the water from coming in through the muffler. Of course, for these guys this was no problem at all (I'd learn by the end of the trip that not much was a problem for these guys), and after a brief boat rescue and winching adventure, we had him back on dry land.
After another huge late-night dinner and some barley pop at a place called Cooters Corner, our day was over. I was pretty proud of myself, but I knew I hadn't really sampled true deep-water, Gorilla-style mud riding yet. I made up my mind to sack up.
The next morning we met super early (or at least it felt that way) to head out to tackle the deep stuff. According to the Gorilla guys, this day's riding location was top-secret, and I knew I'd be gator-bait if I printed its whereabouts. All I can say, though, is that it was different from the first and filled, constantly, with much deeper water. If you want to ride out there, you need to contact team Gorilla so they can decide for themselves if you're worthy of their turf.
Instead of the stocker Nick and I rode on the first day, he got to saddle up a Can-Am with a monster lift. Being the lowly photo-geek, I had to ride the same stock rig that always got stuck. As soon as Nick felt sorry for me and let me try his rig, I realized why these guys are in business. The thing could pull you through water so deep that a normal quad would be completely underwater, and it wasn't even a challenge. The Gorillas' swamp beast has a 14-inch lift and 29.5-inch tires, but I still managed to get in water deep enough to test the snorkels. Swamp riding is different—you're never going as fast as you would in other terrain—but the whole experience is a blast.
The last day brought me to where I am now—stranded near a swamp with a feisty gator and a bloody wound. In case you were wondering, here is how it happened. Before we left, we decided to get some cool Louisiana-style shots, so we cruised over to an alligator farm. The owner plopped three 4-foot gators on the ground right in front of us and walked back to the slaughtering house, leaving us alone with the hungry reptiles. The only thing between us and their throats was a thin piece of electrical tape keeping their jaws clamped shut. After a few shots, I decided, in my infinite wisdom, that the modern dinosaurs would look more ferocious without the safety of the tape wrapped around their bone crushers. I cut the tape, grabbed it firmly in my hand and yanked if off. As a slid my hand away, that's when it happened—my plump, juicy finger snagged a craggy tooth and suffered a massive puncture wound! Okay, so it wasn't that massive, but real blood did come out. And as far as my story goes, the whole trip was an experience I'll never forget: I lost my mud virginity, wolfed down five pounds of crawdads and got mauled by a gator in the Louisiana bayou—and lived to tell about it! And hey, if I'm lucky, I might even have a scar on my index finger to prove it.
Deep mud riding tips
You will quickly learn to take it easy on the throttle and don't let up; otherwise, you will bury the tires and get stuck. Don't worry though, if you're not getting stuck, you're not riding hard enough.
Dress appropriately
This ain't prom night, boy! Don't be wearing all your fancy brand new moto gear. It will get ruined, and you will look like an ass. Waders and an old shirt are the only way to go. Gloves become worthless once they are covered in slippery earth ooze and goggles are for sissies. Here's to mud in your eye.
Bring a cooler. It gets hot in the swamps and dehydration can happen fast when the humidity is up. You know when a mud hole is going to be hard because you see a bunch of empty beer cans lying around it. Team Gorilla does not imbibe on barley pop while riding, so we picked up the empties to make the swamp look more like the backcountry than my backyard. I suggest that you always carry out more than you carry in to keep riding spots open.
Fine Dining
It might be smart to bring a heart defibrillator when you ride down here. The extra fat in everything makes the food taste great. I personally gained 5 pounds in one week while in Louisiana. Crayfish, crawfish, mudbugs or crawdads, are like the shorter cousins of lobsters. Rip their little heads off, pinch the bottom of the tail and suck the meat out. They are spicy down south; so don't rub your eyes after eating them. They say gator doesn't taste like chicken. I couldn't tell though, because everything tastes the same after you deep-fry it and dump tons of seasonings on it.

"The Social Determinants of Urban Mental Health: Paving the Way Forward" takes place Sept. 20 and 21, at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile, 540 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago. For details and conference registration, visit adler.edu/conference.
The conference will examine the new and exciting research, practices and policies on urban conditions that affect population well-being. Such social determinants of mental health include air quality, housing, public safety, proximity to food and open spaces such as parks, and access to public services such as sanitation, education, health and transportation.
Invited speakers will discuss how these social determinants impact city dwellers' mental health, and will provide insights into how government and philanthropic bodies are integrating social determinants thinking into their work. Speakers will share new research findings and emerging tools, practices, and processes that can help narrow mental health inequities and promote the positive mental health and well-being of urban populations.
Michael G. Marmot, Ph.D., a leading scholar on global health inequalities, will give the keynote presentation. Marmot is director of the University College London Institute of Health Equity (Marmot Institute), and chair of the European Review on the Social Determinants of Health and the Health Divide. His pioneering work over the last 35 years continues advancing collective understanding of the social causation of health inequalities.
Plenary presenters will be:
• Sarah Curtis, D.Phil., a professor of health and risk at the University of Durham, United Kingdom. She is an internationally recognized specialist in the geography of health who focuses on the geographical dimensions of health and health care inequalities. Her work examines how and why varying geographical settings relate to human health inequalities.
• Kwame McKenzie, M.D., director of the Social Aetiology of Mental Illness Training Centre at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health at the University of Toronto. A psychiatrist, policy adviser and senior scientist in social equity and health research, he is a leading expert on the social causes of psychosis, social capital, and the impact of racism on mental health.
At a post-conference workshop, Lynn Todman, Ph.D., executive director of the Institute on Social Inclusion and a leading American expert on social determinants of mental health, will facilitate discussion on the institute's Mental Health Impact Assessment (MHIA) project.
The first-of-its-kind project examined the recent proposed revision to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Policy Guidance on Consideration of Arrest in Employment Decisions. Designed to engage urban communities in addressing social determinants of mental health, the MHIA focused on the revision's potential impact on the mental health and well-being of residents of Chicago's underserved Englewood community.
The MHIA process, which has attracted attention from researchers, community leaders and policy makers throughout the United States and abroad, expands on established health impact assessment (HIA) practice by more explicitly integrating mental health considerations. As a preventive practice, MHIA can help ensure that legislation, policy, and other public decisions reflect an understanding of their implications for the mental health of vulnerable communities.

Who is this guy?
I'm an east coast Virginia boy. Born and raised in Charlottesville, VA I was mainly raised by my mother and grandparents. We lived in a middle america neighborhood tucked away on the edge of town. As most adolescents, I didn't have a particular affinity to the outdoors other than: creek fishing was loads of fun, sneaking outdoors at night was awesome, and tents were just plain cool for whatever reason. Video games played a large part of hanging out with friends as well as a number of other things I cant really mention here. Fast forward a decade or so and things have changed. Just about anything involving a TV falls nearly in last place on the list of things to do and my love and appreciation of the outdoors has never been stronger. I now am working on my Physical Geography degree here at Adams State which is only further fueling the craving for planet (just Earth for the time being) knowledge. Coming here to Adams was due to a recommendation from my mother. She went here and suggested it when I was looking to steer quickly away from the Information Technology field of work. Luckily, they had a degree program that sounded awesome. Moving out here to Colorado also helped get me more involved with activities in the out of doors. Working for the Adventure Program here has been awesome. I've gained so much knowledge and had so many doors opened. It's crazy. Climbing has recently become a rekindled obsession stemming from a period of climbing camps during middle school. I'm not sure why I ever stopped? This state has yet to cease to amaze me. Every season has its variety of outdoor sports and for every skill level. So, thats me in a nutshell (walnut maybe?). If you want to know more, give me a shout. Also, come by the wall here at school and climb! We have a climbing club here at school so just let me know if you want any more info and I'll get you going. Peace.
