A Less Invasive Sterilization Option for Women
Female sterilization has traditionally been done with tubal ligation. This is a surgical procedure where the fallopian tubes are cut and tied to keep eggs released from the ovaries from reaching the uterus. By comparison, Essure is a small metallic implant that is placed into a woman's fallopian tubes. Unlike other sterilization procedures for women, no incision or general anesthesia is required.
How Does Essure Work?
A tool called a hysteroscope is inserted into the vagina and through the cervix. The tool allows the doctor to see inside of the uterus. A thin tube is used to thread the Essure device through the vagina, uterus, and then into the fallopian tube. This procedure is repeated to implant a second device into the other fallopian tube. The procedure causes pain in some women, but it is likely that pain is less than with other forms of permanent sterilization.
Essure implants work by causing scar tissue to form over the implant. The scar tissue permanently blocks the fallopian tube and prevents fertilization of the egg by the sperm.
How Long Does It Take to Work?
Women must use an alternate birth control method for three months after the procedure. This will allow the scar tissue to grow. At the three-month point, the doctor checks to make sure that the device has been properly placed, and that the scar tissue has fully blocked the fallopian tubes. This is done with an injection of dye into the uterus followed by an x-ray. If implantation was successful, alternate contraception can be discontinued. In some cases, implantation is not successful.
Is It Effective?
The Essure device is 99.8% effective in preventing pregnancy. Pregnancies that do occur after sterilization are more likely to be ectopic pregnancies, which occur outside the uterus and can be life-threatening.
Other risks associated with Essure include:
- Infection
- Pain or cramping
- Blockage of the fallopian tube on only one side
- Damage to the uterus or fallopian tube during the procedure
- Vaginal bleeding
- Changes in menstrual cycle
- Nausea or vomiting
- Lightheadedness
Is This the Right Procedure for You?
Essure is not the right procedure if you:
- Want to become pregnant—Essure is permanent. You will not be able to have a baby.
- Have been pregnant during the past six weeks
- Have an active or recent pelvic infection
- Are allergic to nickel (used in the insert) or contrast dye (used in imaging tests)
- Have a condition that affects your uterus or fallopian tubes
Talk to your doctor to find out if Essure is a good option for you.

Change is not easy but it is necessary
Few will argue urgent action is needed to turn around our failing schools. This is the objective of a Common Core standard that demands rigorous workloads placing extra stress on students, teachers and parents. So it should; we cannot achieve our goals by applying the same effort as we do now.
Critics say the standards force a teacher to teach to the test. Of course they do; that is the intent. Teaching to the test is exactly what needs to be done because the test measures what needs to be learned. The Common Core does not dictate what cannot be taught, only what must be taught. Talented teachers will also engage their students in subjects, topics and activities that are not demanded by the Common Core. This is not an either-or issue.
The argument that the rollout is happening too fast is one born of panic and despondency. Sure it is difficult, sure teachers must scramble, sure students must adjust their attitudes and the time they apply to their education. You can't make a transition from failure mode to success without effort. Delay just moves the effort down the road and another group of students go out into the world unprepared.
The lady who complained that her son performed at the top of the class but now struggles with the workload is a telling example of the huge gap that exists between what was once considered sufficient to move students steadily through the grade system and what is now recognized as necessary to fit that student for life.
Our current performance does injustice to the capabilities and aspirations of our young people. Change will not be easy; the Common Core standard is a start. We should stop whining and get on with it.

közösségi portál
The Studio reunites young and talented photographers who work in the contemporary art field, and it is considered the most important organization for aspiring photography-based artists under the age of 35 in Hungary. With a long history dating back to 1977, the Studio has moved beyond its original primary mission of education, and has by now assumed a role of integration, facilitating coordination and discussion among different styles in photography and supporting the creation of new artworks. It aims to assist its members in finding their true artistic selves, and provides them _ guidance for launching their professional artistic careers.
The Studio organizes regular exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and assists members in long-term group projects as well.
If you happen to come to Budapest and are interested in the Studio's current event and works, please check our events on the links below and contact us!

Leading committee:
Dorottya Vékony (secretary)
The Studio was established in 1977 and has ever since been operating as an official affiliate body of the Hungarian Association of Photographers (Association). Initially it was intended to provide a professional framework for educating artists in the photographic domain thereby substituting for the lack of institutional education in the field. With the recent appearance of several art schools and workshops dedicated to photography, the Studio has moved beyond its original primary mission of education and has by now assumed a role of integration, facilitating coordination and discussion among different styles in photography and supporting the creation of new pieces of work. It aims to assist its members in finding their true artistic selves and provides them with guidance for launching their professional artistic careers.
Debut exhibition of the new members in 2014
Concerning its institutional form the Studio (together with the Association) is considered an organization of public interest operating in the civil domain. It functions as a democratically organized entity with members and representatives chosen by way of voting. Beyond its role as integrator of styles, its main objectives is to facilitate the professional knowledge, artistic overview and networking capabilities of photographers as well as professionals specializing in the theoretical or historical aspects of photography. The Studio provides both symbolic and material support for the creative work of its members as well as it represents them at cultural forums and cooperates with parallel organizations in promoting their achievements.
The Studio follows the tradition of self-education, offering a variety of theoretically and empirically orientated self-developmental opportunities for its members. It provides an umbrella for as well as it facilitates active involvement and presence in contemporary art life, thereby inspiring creativity and motivating young artists to ever improve their portfolios. The Studio also embraces the role of organizing exhibitions and aims at finding publication opportunities for works by its members. It arranges for opportunities such as creative work-shops, nurseries for artists or participation in festivals and collaboration with other artistically orientated bodies. Within the boundaries of its limitations it provides lab facilities and other materialistic assistance for its members. It also endeavors to afford financial support or schol-arships to enable the creation of specific pieces of artwork. In such cases the Studio invites recognized artists and professionals into the juries that decide which support item is to be awarded to which applicant.
Lectures, consultations, reviews, discussion forums and educational trips are also among the many possible ways by which the Studio aims to enrich and enable the development of its members. It assumes the nature of a collective workshop where professionals and artists of renown together with young talents can shape and form each other and their artwork. In order to facilitate discussion between creators and audience we consider it important to involve in our activities any member of the general public who is interested in photographic artwork and art life. It is for this end that we organize events where those who admire photography as an art can meet with the insiders of the field, such as photographers, critics, professional writers or art historians. Our website too has been designed to meet this very end – providing the reader/viewer with as much information and insight about and into our organization and work as possible.
In case you are interested in collaborating with the Studio, get in touch with us!

Victory State Bank Shares Buying Plan Tips
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. –Buying Clubs can be a great option for keeping your spending low. However, there are certain things you should know before signing up. Victory State Bank would like to provide the following information from the Federal Trade Commission.
Buying plans — or clubs — are plans you sign up for and "shop" at until you cancel. You might join by signing up for a free or discounted offer, like 10 free CDs or 5 books for $1. Whether it's truly a deal is in the details.
Before you join a buying club:
Research the company online.
Search the plan and company name, with words like "complaint" or "review." Complaints can tip you off to questionable practices. But just because you don't find complaints, it doesn't mean the plan doesn't have problems.
Don't skip the fine print.
Find the terms for the offer. Know your obligations before you join. If you aren't sure exactly what you're agreeing to, don't sign up. That includes offers online, on TV, in the newspaper, or on the radio. If the offer comes via telephone, ask the caller to repeat anything you don't understand, and write down the important information, including the number for customer service. Call it to test it out. If no one answers or calls you back, don't join.
Be honest with yourself.
Think about whether you're likely to stay on top of forms and reject products you don't want. If you join, follow the instructions on the forms.
Compare costs.
The introductory merchandise or the promise of some great deals might sound appealing, but what about the products you have to buy at the club's regular prices? How do the prices compare? How about after shipping and your monthly fees?
Keep copies of documents.
That includes documents that explain the terms of the plan, which may come with the introductory shipment, and the rejection forms you return to the seller. It's also a good idea to document the date you mailed the rejection forms.
Look for free trials and pre-checked boxes.
Sometimes, dishonest companies use free trials to enroll you in a buying club. When you sign up online, you may see a box already checked that gives the company the okay to continue the offer beyond the free trial — or to sign you up to buy more products unless you uncheck it.
Mark your calendar.
Write down important dates, so you don't miss the chance to turn down or return merchandise you're not interested in and don't want to pay for.
Read your credit and debit card statements.
It's the only way you'll know if you're being charged incorrectly.

Gabrielle Giffords Opens Her Eyes: How Families of Brain Injury Victims Find HopeKatie Allison
Like the rest of America, I've been closely following Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' medical condition since the horrifying incident last week in which she was shot in the head. The first reports I heard on the day of the shooting were that she had passed away, which certainly seemed likely, given the fact that Jared Loughner apparently shot her at point blank range – in the head. I was thrilled to hear within an hour or two of those first reports that she had, in fact, survived the shooting and was being rushed into surgery, and I have been so encouraged to hear that she continues to hold her own in the critical care unit of a Tucson hospital. When, during his speech in Tucson, President Obama told the crowd that Rep. Giffords had opened her eyes for the first time earlier in the day, I let out an involuntary cheer, yelling out, "YES!" at the television screen.
I have a more personal interest in Rep. Giffords' recovery because I know very, very well what it's like for her family right now, camped out in the intensive care unit at her bedside, watching every muscle twitch and eyelid flicker for some hope, some sign that their daughter/wife/sister/friend is still there, still present inside her desperately injured brain, even as she remains semi-comatose and on a respirator. I understand because for 38 torturous days last spring, between April 27 and May 31 2010, I sat at my oldest son's bedside as he struggled to recover from a critical brain injury.
I remember the day my son first opened his eyes, and the day he first spoke, after the respirator had been removed. At the time, I wrote that hearing him speak to me for the first time after waking up from his coma was the best thing I'd ever experienced. Looking back, I still feel that way. That moment will remain with me forever as exhilarating beyond measure. We were told it was a miracle, and it certainly felt like one.
Before this happened to our family, I knew next to nothing about brain injuries. Starting on the day of my son's admission to the ICU, I quickly became immersed in learning as much as I could about the potentially devastating consequences of trauma (gunshot wounds, auto accidents, falls, assaults, etc) or hypoxia (lack of oxygen from injury, near-drowning, overdose or illness) to the brain. According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 1.7 million Americans – children and adults – sustain a traumatic brain injury and another 795,00 sustain an acquired brain injury (such as my son's) each year. More than 3 million children and adults in this country currently live with some level of lifelong disability due to brain injuries.
Over the 38 days of my son's hospitalization, our hope grew, as he seemed to be progressing. He was even moved from the first hospital in which he'd received care to a neurological rehabilitation program. He began the cognitive and physical therapies that are critical to brain injury recovery. But the injury his brain had sustained was ultimately too severe; my teenage son developed a rare complication of hypoxic brain injury called Delayed Post Hypoxic Lekoencephalopathy. It's a cruel diagnosis, appearing as it does days or weeks after the families of a brain injured patient believe that their loved one has moved past the critical danger phase. My child died on May 31, 2010. He was 18 years old. Had he lived, he would have lived with severe mental and physical disabilities as a result of the brain injury he suffered.
All signs indicate that Rep. Giffords is meeting and exceeding every milestone for recovery in this rollercoaster early period for brain injury patients. I understand that doctors are now considering removing her breathing tube, which is hugely encouraging. And I know that every time she makes even the tiniest step forward, her family is cheering her on, praying for a full recovery.
I will also continue to cheer her on from afar, and my thoughts, prayers and empathy go out to those who love her, and who now spend their days and nights in a cramped hospital room, perched next to her bed, listening to machines and monitors, and hoping that her miracle recovery continues.

We can connect you with the right pet. Save a life today.
To protect your cat's health and help control pet overpopulation, you should have your cat spayed or neutered by the time they reach 6 months old. The procedures have many additional health benefits as well.
Spaying prevents unwanted pregnancy, prevents cancer of the reproductive system, and eliminates the potential for infections of the uterus later in life, especially if performed before the first heat cycle.
Neutering eliminates the potential for cancer of the testicles. The male is also no longer agitated by females and the strong hormonal drive to reproduce. He will tend to stop marking or spraying.
He'll also roam less, decreasing the potential to become lost, hit by a car, involved in territorial fights or otherwise injured.

Oh Sedexo Oatmeal Cookies
Flecked with raisins, perfectly soft and sugary sweet
You don't deserve to be the last ones left
On those big round cookie platters
At events around CCBC
Abandoned when your brethren have already been consumed
Left to lose your softness
Taken by few
Your chocolate chip brothers are the first to go
Everyone loves them best
Then your white chocolate chip sisters
I can't deny that those are delicious
You have twin siblings, peanut butter and sugar cookie
That look identical
So those go next to last because no one can tell whether they're going to be biting
Into sweet sugar with lack of vanilla or nutty peanut butter that gets stale within minutes
Even those, though, those confusing twins
Last longer than you do
What do people have against Sedexo Oatmeal Cookies?
Sweet perfection, the softest cookie to ever grace a cheap folding table
With raisins of ideal size and shape
The overwhealming flavor causes not a rollar coaster for the tongue
But the delicate memory of a cool autumn day
Or a trip to the grocery store as a kid
You don't deserve to be abandoned, dear cookie!
You were made just as lovingly as the others!
Well, probably not. You were probably made with cheap ingredients and preservatives, created quickly by a big silver machine
But still!
Oatmeal cookies, you are by far the best
So what if you have raisins instead of chocolate?
Your flavor is beyond compare
If people look at you hesitantly, wondering if you are chocolate chip or not, then leaving you just in case–
That is their fault for not being observant
And not being brave
Sedexo Oatmeal Cookies
Are simply too good
For cookie-avoiding wimps
Sedexo Oatmeal Cookies
Are cookies done right

Russia to London
I want to travel from St. Petersburg or Moscow to London over the course of 7-10 days. I know there are direct trains that take you most of the way, but I would like to be able to stop in Poland, Germany, and France, or possibly go through Scandinavia and then through Germany and France. What would be the most cost effective way to do this? Should I get a Eruorail pass and then separate tickets out of Russia? Has anyone done this before and knows the best way? Thanks!
London/Wales trip
Travelogue Entry in London, United Kingdom
Vienna to Paris (and maybe to UK)
Hi All!We (2 of us) are trying to figure out the best way to get from Vienna to Paris by train – and we have had no real success. We can't figure out what the prices are on OBB, or if that is even the best way to go. We want to leave Vienna on July 13th with a ticket to Paris. Any suggestion on the best way to do this? Also – is there any type of pass we could by that would get us from Vienna to Paris, let us travel around France and than get us to the UK? I'm guessing no, but thought I would ask anyways.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Recommended Hostels?
My best friend and I are traveling around Europe this summer and I was wondering if anyone could recommend good hostels in the countries that we're going to. We are looking for places in the city near bars, clubs, restaurants, and cafes.
We will be visiting:
London to Greek Islands?
hi all,
I'd like to book a flight from London UK to the Greek islands. I've searched on some of the FareCompare sites but can't really find anything. There used to be a very cheap route via Milan to Santorini but I guess they don't do that anymore.
I'd really apreacite it if anyone could tell me of any cheap routes to the Greek Islands! Thanks so much.

Visiting The Iconic London Tower Bridge
Often mistaken for London Bridge, Tower Bridge is one of London's most iconic attractions. Tower Bridge has its own exhibition where you can scale the heights of the bridge and admire a glorious view of London's skyline. One tip is to check the Tower Bridge website to see when the bridge lifts up to let tall ships and boats pass through. It is definitely a sight to see and popular with tourists.
An alternative way to see the bridge is by boat. The majority of the cruise companies charge similar prices so pick your favourite looking boat and enjoy the ride up the Thames River.

Lovie Smith was a great defensive coach and a fine leader of men. But after nine years in Chicago, we knew what we were going to get: Takeaways on defense and a headache on offense.
Smith could never quite find the answer to Chicago's offensive woes, and surely it wasn't all his fault. His niche is defense. But that's kind of the point, too. If you can't coach offense, you better find someone who can. The past four years have been unnecessarily frustrating as the team has failed to develop Jay Cutler, and he has failed to develop himself into a franchise quarterback.
Don't get it twisted. It's all about Cutler.
With nearly three decades of coaching and teaching quarterback play, new Bears coach Marc Trestman is the perfect man to remake Cutler and get the best out of him. He started by tutoring Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde as redshirt quarterbacks at Miami. Trestman's latest quarterback in Montreal, Anthony Calvillo, said Trestman's attention to detail set the tone for his impressive first head coach job.
"Everything is so detailed," Calvillo said. "From your drops to your reads to where your stripe of your helmet tells where you're looking at. He knows where the stripe of your helmet is facing."
Cutler is known for having amazing talent and toughness, but not for attention to detail and perfect mechanics.
One of Trestman's biggest boosters is legendary receiver Cris Carter, who said his career "blossomed" when he started working with Trestman in the early '90s in Minnesota.
Carter is a Cutler fan, but says for Cutler to get to the next level, he needs to submit to a coach and "let someone remake him." And Carter believes Trestman is the guy to do it.
"What's going to take Jay to the next level is his brain," Carter told me. "He just needs to let [Trestman] mold him. At some point, I stopped trying to do it my way, and started doing it the coach's way."
Now it's Cutler's turn. Can Trestman do it? I like his chances.

Lovie not perfect but he is a leader
It's gonna be a while before we get a definitive answer to this question. But for right now, on the surface, in this moment of the Phil Emery executive decision-making process, there's nothing on Marc Trestman's résumé that suggests that he will do better or more with the Bears than Lovie Smith was able to do.
That's not a knock on Trestman, it's just truth.
No disrespect to the Grey Cups he won in the CFL, but that's not close to the same as developing a plan to beat the Green Bay Packers ... when Aaron Rodgers is healthy.
Apparently legendary former coach Marv Levy loves the pick of Trestman. As do Rich Gannon and Adam Schefter and Tom Waddle and so many other football insiders and experts. Though his name doesn't resonate past the football geeks so consumed with the game they make John Clayton look like a novice, Trestman seemed to be the Katherine Webb of the potential NFL coaches circle.
But just because the Bears got the "sexiest" pick, doesn't mean they got one better than the one that is being replaced. Good or bad, Lovie knew the NFL. He knew how to maneuver around the B.S. that comes with being a coach at the helm of a team that every year is expected to overachieve. And that often is just as important and necessary as having the ability to have a team go 10-6 in the best division in football.
Look, Lovie wasn't perfect. We all know that. But unless Trestman keeps Rod Marinelli around to run the defense, there's no way he's going to find the success -- as limited and unsatisfying as it ended up being -- that Lovie did coaching this team. For a guy coming into this town, with this team, and inheriting these expectations without having done it at the NFL level before, it's hard to see him not just doing any better, but doing as well.
I'll just say this: They keep referring to Trestman as an "offensive guru." The last time an "offensive guru" took over a team was a few months ago in the NBA when Mike D'Antoni took over the Lakers. And we all see how that's going.

Danny Caro's Quote of the Week: January 26
Manager of the Week Jonathan Cohen took a leaf out of Jose Mourinho's book of quotes following the memorable win over Jewdinese in MGBSFL Division Three.
I marked the game down as a home banker for 'Nese, but, clearly, Cohen and co had other ideas. I'll leave the rest to him ...
"Morale in the squad has been largely good throughout the season, and we have done our best not to listen or take too much note of what other people have had to say about us. We know more about us than anyone else
- Jamie Kyte (LML Blue) - "Today we showed that if we play to our potential and we have a bit of luck on our side, we can get points against any team in the league"
- Joe Levy (AC Mill Hill) - QUOTE 1 - "Full credit to Camden. They are a great team and are a pleasure to watch. Jake Saunders in the middle is superb and is definitely one to keep an eye on"
- Joe Levy (AC Mill Hill) - QUOTE 2 - "I am absolutely gutted we are out but cannot fault the desire and commitment of any of my players"
- Adam Glekin (Hendon C) - "We gifted them two goals in the first half with sloppy pieces of play, and although we toiled away in the second half, we looked like we could play for the next week and not score"
- Jonathan Cohen (Temple Fortune) - QUOTE 2 - "We went to a local in London Colney to celebrate a massive victory!"

New Riegel's Taylor Arbogast is out at home as Mohawk catcher Taylor McClain readies to throw during Wednesday's game.
New Riegel's Brittany?Gillig waits for a throw as Mohawk's Clara Adelsperger gets a lead off third base during Wednesday's game in Sycamore.
SYCAMORE - It's a matter of perspective.
Some teams are focused on the regular season.
Others are focused solely on the post season.
So when Mohawk knocked off No. 2 New Riegel, 9-7, on Wednesday night at Sycamore American Legion Ballfield, it didn't mean as much to Blue Jackets coach Jamie Lininger as one would think.
"Congratulations to Mohawk on their league championship," Lininger said. "I don't really care about the league to be honest with you. I do, but I don't. We have bigger fish to fry. Our goal is obviously to not only win the league but we're good enough to go to state. Mohawk can win the league. That's fine. Hopefully we'll make a nice tournament run."
The victory left Mohawk in sole possession of the Midland Athletic League at 3-0. New Riegel dropped into a tie for second at 2-1. While there's a lot of season left to play, the victory wasn't lost on Mohawk slugger Clara Adelsperger.
"We knew that New Riegel is one of the teams that you have to beat to win the league," Adelsperger said. "We're always wanting to beat them no matter what. But you're always a little nervous too. And it's a relief to get it off our chest now and look on to the next game."
And beyond.
"We have a goal we want to reach," Adelsperger said. "We want to do well in tournaments."
She led a Mohawk attack that rapped out 12 hits against New Riegel.
It was also an offense that came through in the clutch as eight of the nine runs were scored with two outs.
"That was big. They just kept coming up with hit after hit," Lininger said. "My hat's off to them. They hit the hell out of the ball."
Mohawk coach Jenny Weinandy said she'd love to see her team be that aggressive all the time.
"We've been doing that lately. It puts a lot more pressure on the batter," Weinandy said. "I wish they would go up the plate mentally thinking they have two strikes on them so we don't have to go through all those pitches."
The scoring got started in the bottom of the second when Julie Adelsperger (4-1) supported her mound effort with a one-out solo home run. Two batters later, then Brooke Weinandy scored on a Taylor McClain single. After a Cambria Kohlenberg double, MacKenzie Sowers smashed a two-RBI double. Sowers was plated a batter later by a Clara Adelsperger single to give Mohawk a 5-0 lead.
New Riegel got two back in the third. Taylor Arbogast doubled, scoring Leah Bouillon and Taylor Kirian. But Mohawk ended the threat with an unusual 1-3-2 double play.
The Blue Jackets (12-2) picked up another run in the fourth when Lauren Zoeller planted a home run in nearly the same place Julie Adelsperger had two innings prior, cutting the lead to 5-3.
Mohawk got two of those back in the bottom half of the fourth, thanks to three errors by New Riegel. Kohlenberg and Sowers reached on a single and an error respectively. Clara Adelsperger then drove in Kohlenberg with a single and Sowers scored a play later on a dropped infield pop-up.
In the fifth, New Riegel trimmed it to 7-4. The Blue Jackets loaded the bases and Kara Scherger drove in Morgan Noftz, but Mohawk slammed the door after that, getting a strikeout and pop-out to end the threat.
Mohawk stretched it to 9-4 in the sixth when Kasey Adelsperger singled to center, scoring Sowers and Clara Adelsperger.
But even with a five-run lead, Weinandy wasn't comfortable.
"When it's the fourth inning, I want it to be the sixth inning," Weinandy said of her late inning nerves. "I've been watching the paper and the last couple innings (New Riegel has been scoring). They do have some good hitters. I'm not going to take that away from them."
Those good hitters took advantage of the extra chances Mohawk gave them, too. The Warriors, who had five errors in the game, started the inning by allowing Kirian to reach on an error. After an out, Scherger reached on an error as well. Two batters and an out later, the two moved to second and third on a wild pitch. Kirian scored on a Zoeller single and Scherger a play later on a Brittany Gillig single. Lauren Ladd's single drove in Zoeller to give New Riegel the tying run on first with two outs. Bouillon then hit a sharp grounder to second that pinch runner Elyssa Theis tried to hurdle, but it caught her foot, causing the automatic out for runner interference.
"It was a good game. Anytime you spot a team like Mohawk five runs, it's easy to sit back and say 'this game's over with,'" Lininger said. "But these girls didn't do that. You have to think we had them worried until the very last out there.
"That's a good team. They hit the ball well and not much we could do on a lot of things. Just when we were about back in it, I thought we had a couple errors that gave them a little more cushion and those two runs they scored in the sixth were big for them."
Weinandy said she was pleased with the way her team responded.
"I was proud of my team. They stayed focused. They stayed with the plan even when adversity tried to bring us down. The seniors really stepped up to make sure things didn't get through or helped our underclassmen to stay strong.
"I'm proud of my team tonight. Knocking off No. 2 in the state," she said. "They have the target. We don't. That's the way I wanted it to be."
Julie Adelsperger (4-1) picked up the win for the 8-2 Warriors. She struck out six and walked two.
"I felt Julie pitched a tremendous game, keeping their batters off with her changeup," Weinandy said. "She's always confident in saying 'This is working good. This is working good.' I have all the confidence in her."
Kirian (11-2) took the loss, striking out five.
"They gave us a couple back. The big difference was they were able to hit with runners in scoring position and we left quite a few on base," Lininger said. "That one inning that we left the bases loaded kind of killed us. We had one our bases loaded and couldn't get anything in.
"They're a good team. We're a good team. It was a good game."
Weinandy agreed.
"It's always a good battle between New Riegel. Jamie always puts together a nice team," Weinandy said. "And I thought the better team won tonight."

Try changing laundry detergents; seems your problem areas are on your face where your pillow might be irritate the delicate skin areas. Also, get a new pillow if you can. No synthetic material; something that allows air to flow freely. Try switching shampoo as well.
Dietary: increase your retinol (vitamin a). Quality grass-fed dairy if you tolerate it, beef liver, and oysters are great sources.

[QUOTE=Bosnic;1043572]I don't much care for cannibalism. Everything else is fine.[/QUOTE]
Y'know, I think it almost disappoints some of my friends/colleagues when they learn I'm NOT a cannibal.
Well, I respect the higher carnivores too much to eat them except in the direst of straits. Even then I'm not sure if I could eat a dog or a wolf.
There isn't much. I love sweetbreads, kidney, testicles, blood and brains. Liver though... I'm not really a fan. I mean, if I have to I'll eat it, but I'd rather not.
A local restaurant had leg of lion on the menu once. Caused quite a stir. I don't think I would eat that.
When I was a kid I had a job in a veterinarian's office and I got to watch the doctor do operations. Watching him castrate animals was pretty fascinating. He'd cut a slit in the testical and squeeze and *POP* out pops this bluish-white veiny ball. I really don't think I could eat that.
I've had pig testicles - thought it was like a mini veal cutlet. If I could get them pre-pounded (ouch!) I'd probably even cook them. I feel no enthusiasm for any sort of offal. Maybe in time I will feel differently? I will never eat brains. Aside from the ick factor, I am scared of prions, lol.
If you're a good cook and will cook it, I'll eat it.
quite a few that I would try and avoid such as has been mentioned above, incl brains. I also could not eat horse or kangaroo! If I was starving, I'd rather eat bugs/ants/dirt or just go hungry (at least for as long as I could)!
Speaking of animal species that are off limits to me.......cats. Hell no. Not even in the direst of straits.
I've heard that carnivore meat is generally pretty nasty. But if I was for realz starving, unless companionship was more urgent for my survival than food, I might eat my cats. I know they'd eat me if I dropped dead and no one came to check on me for a few weeks.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 01:29 PM GMT am 17. August 2006
The low pressure system centered about 100 miles east-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina remains very close to tropical depression strength. Winds this morning at the buoy 47 miles southeast of Charleston, SC have been about 25 mph, gusting to 30 mph. Sustained winds of 30 mph and a closed circulation at the surface are required before NHC will classify a system as a tropical depression. The storm does have a well-defined closed circulation, but only one area of intense thunderstorms, on the south side of the circulation. Strong upper level winds from the north are creating about 20 knots of winds shear over it, and pushing all the thunderstorm activity to the south side.
Long range radar animation out of Charleston, SC shows a big blob of precipitation, but not much organization to this system--little spiral banding is evident. The appearance on satellite imagery has improved some this morning, perhaps because the system is drifting southwestward over slightly warmer waters. There is still about a six hour window for this storm to become a tropical depression. However, wind shear is expected to increase rapidly to over 100 knots by tonight, which will surely destroy the storm. The remains may brings heavy rain to Georgia, northern Florida, and South Carolina Friday, but significant damage from this system is very unlikely. The Hurricane Hunters are on the schedule to go investigate the storm this afternoon, but I expect that this mission will be cancelled.

Figure 2. Preliminary models tracks for the East Coast disturbance.

There are no other threat areas to discuss. If you missed it, my discussion of the outlook for the remainder of August was posted yesterday.

The next step to the genetically modified organism moratorium will be at the polls. We'll see what everyone thinks about it.
We should keep in mind what this is really about. It's not about the estimated 1,200 jobs that could be lost or the thousands and thousands of dollars that will be taken away from our economy or even the thousands and thousands of dollars and donated hours the seed company and its employees give back to the community.
This is about what's right and what's wrong. We need to accept the fact that everything we have today comes from science and technology - even those grass-fed cows and free-range chickens that every tree-hugging store has. The list is endless.
So, when you vote please do it with an educated decision, not with your emotions. Really educate yourself with good information.
The 20,000 signatures SHAKA Movement got to sign its petition, that's a huge number. Very big effort on their part. Now just imagine if those 20,000 or so made some kind of monetary donation, like maybe $5. That's $100,000, Maui County, to put toward education or fighting homelessness for our keiki.
Don't break something that's not broken.
There is nothing wrong with exporting our product because, at the end of the day, my paycheck stays here to pay for my mortgage, food and anything else I need to sustain my family. Isn't that sustainability?

Brazil Protests
FILE - In this June 27, 2013 file photo, protesters run from tear gas dispersed by police a few miles from the soccer stadium where Spain and Italy met in a Confederations Cup soccer semifinals' match in Fortaleza, Brazil. Police are debating whether to honor a pledge to cut the use of tear gas against demonstrators, a commander said Thursday, July 18, 2013, after a small protest boiled over into rioting in one of Rio's wealthiest areas just days before a visit by Pope Francis.

Album Review
The two albums combined on this 2010 Raven two-fer come from the early '70s, when
Joe South
was a little bit adrift artistically and personally. First comes 1971's
So the Seeds Are Growing
, where
-- who had bigger hits as a songwriter than a performer -- decided to devote roughly half of his record to covers, ranging from the recent
Brotherhood of Man
hit "United We Stand" to
Ray Charles'
"Drown in My Own Tears," from
David Gates'
softly sweet "The Other Side of Life" to the blues standard "Motherless Children." It was a curious choice that tends to underscore
So the Seeds Are Growing'
s connection to its 1971 release date as much as the proliferation of wah-wah fuzz guitars, thick gauzy strings, and tight funk rhythms -- rhythms that swing harder and heavier than
's earlier records. Its period charms are considerable, and are one of the primary appeals of
So the Seeds Are Growing
-- particularly on the over the top "Revolution of Love," which piles on blues slide guitar, gospel choruses, soul horns, electric sitars, and hippie credos into a four-minute time capsule -- although it does possess a couple of overlooked
compositions in its cinematic title track and the defiant R&B swing of "No Fence Around Me," all of which are enough to make this an album worth seeking out.
Joe South
returned to writing every song on a record for his next album
A Look Inside
, which also happened to be his last LP for Capitol.
wrote and recorded
A Look Inside
in the aftermath of the suicide of his younger brother, and there's a palpable sense of sadness lurking underneath
's signature roots pop, particularly at the beginning of the album which opens with a set of slow, sorrowful blues. As the record rolls on, things get a little sprightlier -- "Misunderstanding" possesses a swagger, "Misfit" is a defiant statement of purpose, "All Nite Lover, All Day Friend" blares its blues with horns -- but to dig out
s depression does require some close listening. Otherwise, this record is a fitting companion to its predecessor, charming in its period affectations and
's rootsy idiosyncracies.
Raven's two-fer is graced with four bonus tracks: the 1969 non-LP single "Why Does a Man Do What He Has to Do"/"Be a Believer," which is quite good; the epic non-LP B-side "Riverdog" from 1973; and, most remarkably, the brand-new 2009 song "Oprah Cried." This tune, his first new song in decades, may not be a classic, but its sardonic edge and lazy country ramble are appealing, raising hopes of a full-fledged comeback somewhere down the road.

To the Editor:
I read with great interest the Times' article "Veterans cemetery scheduled for growth" on Nov. 29.
The article states that the county freeholder board is making a big
commitment to purchase more land near our current Gloucester County
Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Monroe Township for future expansion,
which I believe is a splendid idea. The land surrounding our veterans
cemetery is beautiful, high ground.
The cemetery has been a blessing for our county's veterans and their families. It serves them well, and has dignity and beauty. Our flags are proudly waving there.
Over the years, and on our recent Veterans Day, Nov. 11, I've noticed the public cares deeply for their veterans, and goes out of its way to show gratitude and support in many ways.
For the future, what better way to honor and respect our veterans than to ensure their final resting place has been provided for?
In these troubled times, may God protect our servicemen and women, and may God Bless America.

Readers expecting a unified exposition of the etiology and psychological patterns associated with epilepsy will be disappointed by Dr. Geist's clinical potpourri. Substantial sections of the book are devoted to a pedestrian account of basic psychoanalytic theory and to the history, rationale, scoring, administration, and interpretation of a wide variety of psychological tests. Since most of this material is not directly germane to the subject matter of epilepsy, its inclusion seems inappropriate.
The research section of the book contains surprising methodological weaknesses: (1) The sample is inadequately defined, e.g., number of subjects in each subgroup, which subjects took which tests, etc. (2) Test results are simply tabulated and receive no statistical treatment for significance. (3) True-False responses to single items are used to justify far-reaching clinical interpretations, e.g., statements about "the oral-erotic stage of psychosexual development" are made solely from the item "I do not like to see women smoking."

Pavin Nabs First Champions Tour Title
Corey Pavin birdied the first sudden-death playoff hole to edge Australian Peter Senior and win the Allianz Championship for his first title on the Champions Tour. The 54-hole, $1.8 million tournament began Friday at the Broken Sound Golf Club in Boca Raton, Fla.
Pavin and Senior entered the final round tied at 10-under 134. Both players carded 1-under 71s to finish regulation at 11-under 205.
On the first playoff hole, the par-5 18th, Pavin sank a 12-footer for birdie that gave the 52-year-old - who notched 15 victories on the PGA Tour, including the 1995 U.S. Open - his maiden title on the over-50 circuit after 35 starts.
Senior was also seeking his first win on the Champions Tour, but Senior, also 52, must wait another day.
Tied for third at 10-under 206 were Bernhard Langer (71) and Michael Allen (69). Another stroke back at 207 were Jay Haas and John Cook, who both posted 69s. Sharing seventh at 208 were Nick Price (65), Gary Hallberg (70) and Mark Calcavecchia.
Calcavecchia was seemingly in the driver's seat early on the back nine. After making the turn in 4-under par thanks to six birdies and a double-bogey six on the par-4 second, the Florida resident enjoyed a three-shot lead on the field after a birdie on the par-5 11th. But it all went downhill from there as Calcavecchia bogeyed six of the seven final holes for a 5-over 41 on the home half.
Pavin's round was salvaged by a remarkable up-and-down on the par-3 14th. After his tee shot hit the green and rolled over it, his ball stopped against a tree root. He then turned the club over and hit a left-handed chip shot that stopped five feet from the cup. Pavin made the putt and parred the next two holes before a bogey on No. 17 and a par on the last to tie Senior.
Defending champion Tom Lehman closed with a 71 to end up in a tie for 31st at 2-under 214 with, among others, Peter Jacobsen. Jacobsen carded Saturday's low round, a 7-under 64. But Sunday was another matter as the Portland native closed with a 5-over 77.

Why do I have to vote in each "category"? I didn't select any guys who I'd like to keep around "just in case." The closest in group 3 for me is Joey Macdonald but I hope he plays for the Griffins again.
There really are no "categories". The poll doesn't allow for more than 10 choices for any question so it just had to be that way.

Posted 13 May 2011 - 07:55 AM
I didn't select Salei, but I imagine he's gone given the development of Kindl. I think Ericsson only stays at the right price, though I wouldn't mind seeing him leave in the name of a more talented D-man.
I've wrestled with Drew Miller and whether or not he should stay. He's a solid defensive forward and a part of the PK, but we also have Helm, Abby, Eaves and could have Corey Emmerton up here for less.
Posted 13 May 2011 - 08:34 AM
Hudler... he again is sort of a repeat of other forwards we have on the team, but the other forwards are better. The Wings would be better off with a bigger player in his position that is more sound defensively. I'll take a decrease in points for improved size, aggression, and defensive ability.
Overall I liked Salei as well, but he's older and I'd like to see a younger guy in that spot. Preferably, a stay-at-home type that can help the PK, and perhaps can play with Rafalski to provide that pairing with balance. Basically, I'd like them to get a young guy that is right now a borderline 3/4 d-man that can grow into a bigger role as Lids and Rafalski move on after a few more seasons.
Posted 13 May 2011 - 08:54 AM
I chose McCrimmon, sort of obvious there but probably wouldn't happen. I voted for Modano, Draper, Hudler, Ericsson, Salei, and Ozzie. The rest stay in my opinion. Raf's bloated contract is definitely a lot to look at right now but not much to be done there really. Modano's project simply didn't work as the injury sort of hampered any chance he had to help us. Drapes looked pretty damn effective out there at times this year and was just awesome in the 1st round against Phoenix as most were though. Hudler's overall game is something we have to navigate away from. He gets knocked off the puck way too easily and I am not one to have him be a whipping boy, but whatever we can get for this guy is definitely a plus. Ericsson is the most frustrating player on this team. Uses none of his 6'5" frame at any point out there. He could be knocked down by freaking Brian Gionta and probably has been. I just see no use for him and would like to see what Kindl can do or go out make an offer to Bieksa. Salei wasn't as bad as some on here would have portrayed. He was signed to be a 5th/6th dman and fit that bill. In year's past we had awesome 5th/6th dman and that made all the difference with this season I think. Salei came pretty cheap and was actually not that bad with Kronner but just too old now. We will see how it pans out.
Posted 13 May 2011 - 09:07 AM
Modano I think is pretty much done,which is unfortunate because I think that signing would have turned out a lot better if it wasn't for that freak accident of an injury he had
Draper I think it's just time to move on and make room for Mursak and such
Salei same as Draper,he was a good signing this year but Kindl needs more playing time next year
MacDonald had his moments but i'm just plain not comfortable with the idea of having him as a backup
Osgood I think is pretty much done with all his injury problems at his age
Edited by ricky0034, 13 May 2011 - 09:08 AM.
Posted 13 May 2011 - 09:11 AM
Obviously you guys want Draper gone, and probably mostly for his age. That said though, he plays basically every shift like its his last and this team needs to employ more guys like that, not show them the door. If Maltby lasted as long as he did, Draper will almost certainly be here next year regardless of what we think anyway.

Just cause you look like the gimp don't mean you play like the gimp!
Posted 13 May 2011 - 09:15 AM
Surprised no one has voted Kronner or Stuart yet. Pleased, but surprised.
Kronwall might have made a few mistakes here and there but he played great and I didn't even pay attention to Stuart so that must have meant he didn't make a ton of mistakes(or they didn't score on them anyway).
Really though who chooses NIck and even one vote for Jimmy after his playoff performance?
I went with McCrimmon, Draper, Modano, Osgood, Hudler and Ericsson. Draper, Modano and Osgood are just getting too old which doesn't apply to Nick because he still plays like an elite player. Hudler and Ericsson were just awful in the Sharks series.
Hudler is the #1 concern though, please get rid of him.

The 2nd/3rd liners should be seriously re-evaluated by the Wings front office, especially Hudler and Flip. Those two are the key part to our depth but they are not consistent enough to be relied upon.

Man up and make the team more powerful at the top like other teams have been doing. The way the cap keeps going up it hardly is a punishment to give a lifetime contract to a superstar.
Wouldn't it be nice to steal a Weber or a Richards and maybe a future player like Bogosian even if at the expense of Bertuzzi, Cleary, Hudler, Ericsson, etc???
The only thing I say must change though is our coaching. If you want to fire McCrimmon only, okay do it. I wouldn't be upset if they did more. If Lids retires, I say we make him the replacement of McCrummy or Babcock, because I honestly think Mike just lets him run the team now anyways.
Tootoo does NOT belong on this team. He is classless and I would rather see the Wings be bad than classless. I feel the same way about Bertuzzi as well, but he at least CAN make the team better. With Tootoo the team becomes worse and in danger of being classless. Would you have liked Claude on the team? Or Roy? No. So why would you be okay with that POS.
This thread has been closed due to emotions being higher than people's ability to read, interpret, and properly respond to simple posts.

And who is the idiot that voted for Nick??? Thirty lashes to you!
Posted 13 May 2011 - 09:54 AM
Mo should go because its time for him to retire, I would have loved to see what he had in the tank if he could have played a whole season with the Wings, but that horrible injury...
Hudler just ain't the same since his KHL stint. He doesn't seem to fit anywhere for the whole season and playoffs. I'd rather see the Wings let him go and try someone else.
Bert doesn't seem to fit. I know he loves playing here and I know he's well liked in the locker room but on the ice, he's playing a different game from the Wings. He's got that Iggy 'I-can-do-it-all' puck hogging thing and in this last series with the Sharks he kept shooting or hogging the puck and seemed to ignore or not be aware of his line mates very much. The Wings are a puck possession team, which means lots of passing and movement. Not hanging on to the puck all day and trying to cram it in. He's no Dats and even Dats doesn't hang on to the puck all day like Bert. My point is, Bert doesn't seem to fit quite right. He's had time to adjust his game to the Babcock's style and hasn't. So I'd rather see the Wings get someone else to fill that slot.
Ericsson just hasn't panned out the way Babcock wants him to. They've tinkered with him long enough. Let the guy move on elsewhere and maybe he'll find his stride.
Ozzie, I love ya and wish you could play every game for the next 1,000 years but its time to retire with dignity. Howard has proved this playoffs that he's more than ready for the prime time. If you want to stay on as goalie coach, I'm OK with that.
Draper... see Ozzie above. But before you go, give Fil all your face-off tricks please.
Salei... has left me with a feeling of "meh" I'm not a hater but I'm not impressed either. I'd like to see the guy step up, but if he left I wouldn't be upset either.
Homer, whom I also consider in the retirement zone needs to either go or find something new and useful to do. Like Draper did with face offs to extend his career. Homer's the screening prototype and the best at that gig but now 29 other teams screen the goalie just like him making his contributions predictable and routine. And, as we know in hockey, predictable and routine are easy to beat. So if there's no last variation for Homer to make, its time to retire with Ozzie and Drapes... with dignity. He's taken fantastic abuse and has the heart of a warrior but his body is telling everybody its time to hang up the skates.
As for Nik... He can stay as long as he wants.

Osgood - I've been calling for his retirement since Jan. I sorta expect him to show up to camp and not make it unless Kenny decides for him.
McCrimmon - Defense has never been worse w/ such a good crew.
Draper - Sorry, you were great, but it's time.
Modano - Nice experiment, wish he didn't have such a bad year.
Wish would go:
Hudler - Gets thrown around like a rag doll in the playoffs, hasn't shown any return to sniper ability pre-KHL.
Ericcson - Hype & hopes for the future > reality -- Isn't physical enough either.
On the Fence:
Salei - He has potential. However, his errors led to many points against this year.
