Wii U launch details revealed
Nintendo has announced a number of key details regarding the release of its upcoming Wii U home console. The release date, launch line up and pricing were all confirmed by the company during a series of detailed broadcasts on the Nintendo Direct website.
The company today confirmed that the system will launch worldwide within a three week time-frame. The US will be the first region to get access to the system, with the launch day confirmed as November 18. Europe will follow shortly after on the November 30, and the system will hit Japan on December 8.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told IGN that the gamepad will not be available as a stand-alone accessory in the US, at least not at first. "If I were to take additional gamepads and make them available as an accessory, then I would have less Wii U console hardware to sell into retail," he said, adding some credence to the rumors surrounding manufacturing difficulties.
It was also revealed that Nintendo will release two versions of the console, the Basic and Deluxe models. The former of these will come in at US$299 and will include a white console with 8 GB of memory, as well as a gamepad, HDMI cable and sensor bar.
The Deluxe package will cost $349 and comes with the black version of the console, featuring 32 GB of storage. In addition to everything that's included in the Basic package, the more costly version also comes with a charging cradle and stands for both the gamepad and console. It will also include the Nintendo Land game.
Interestingly, the EU edition of the Basic model will not include the sensor bar, with the company claiming that a large number of users will already have the item, having purchased the original Wii console.
The launch line up for the system was also confirmed for Europe, with the US line up likely to be largely the same. A total of 51 titles were confirmed, including Nintendo Land, FIFA 13, ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Mass Effect 3 and Darksiders 2. In addition to this, New Super Mario Bros U, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Alien: Colonial Marines were also confirmed.
The biggest surprise of the day came in the form of Bayonetta 2. While the title won't hit the launch window, its announcement as a Wii U exclusive will go some way to assuaging fears that the system is relying too heavily on ports and rehashes of titles already available on competing systems.
Lastly, Nintendo confirmed in its EU presentation that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will be released on the system and will feature cross functionality with the company's popular 3DS handheld device.
Nintendo's US launch reveal presentation can be seen below.

Parkinson's Disease
Our Providers
New Approach Simplifies Parkinson's Surgery
Health Information
Request Information
UW Health's Movement Disorders Program, based at University Hospital, treats patients with Parkinson's disease.
What is Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the brain that causes difficulty with walking, slowed movements and reduced coordination.
What causes Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson's disease occurs when the nerve cells in the mid-brain are destroyed. The cause of this premature cell death is not yet known. These cells produce a chemical called dopamine which is important for certain brain-adjacent regions involved with movement to communicate with each other. When brain dopamine levels are too low, tremor, rigidity of limbs and slowness of movement occur. The damage to these cells worsens over time, which causes symptoms to become gradually more severe.
- Muscle rigidity
- Stooped posture
- Loss of balance
- Changes in walking pattern
- Difficulty initiating voluntary movement
- Muscle aches and pains
- Shaking or tremors
- Changes in facial expression
- Voice or speech changes
- Loss of fine motor skills
While there is no known cure for treating Parkinson's disease, the goal is to control the symptoms. Many different medications can be used to increase the level of dopamine to the brain, which helps control the disease. Several medications are available to treat symptoms of the disease. The goal is to try to increase brain dopamine activity.
Depending on the symptoms, degree of severity and impairment someone is experiencing, one or more medications may be prescribed. The commonly used medications include: carbidopa/levodopa, ropinirole, pramipexole, entacapone, tolcapone, rasagiline, and selegeline.
There are various formulations and combinations that physicians can use to help ease the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. When medical therapies have been exhausted, surgical treatments may be an option. Deep brain stimulation, a surgical treatment which uses electrodes to stimulate targeted regions of the brain, may be performed to reduce symptoms due to abnormal movement.

Seth MacFarlane Won't Return to Host Oscars
(LOS ANGELES) -- It's official: Seth MacFarlane won't return to host Hollywood's biggest night.
"Traumatized critics exhale: I'm unable to do the Oscars again. Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep," the Family Guy creator announced Monday via Twitter.
After being offered the gig by the telecast's producers -- Craig Zadan and Neil Meron -- MacFarlane turned down the job and claimed he suggested another host: Joaquin Phoenix. (No word on if that was a joke.)
MacFarlane immediately rejected the possibility of hosting again after receiving tons of criticism when he hosted the 85th Academy Awards in February. One of the most criticized elements of the show was the "Boobs Song," in which MacFarlane sang about the topless scenes of many Hollywood actresses.
Perhaps the Oscars didn't fit in MacFarlane's schedule because he's currently busy preparing for his next film, a comedy titled A Million Ways to Die in the West, which will star MacFarlane, Charlize Theron and Amanda Seyfried. He is also planning a sequel to his blockbuster 2012 comedy, Ted.
The 86th Academy Awards will go on without him on Sunday, March 2, 2014, from inside the Dolby Theatre on level one of the Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood. It will air live on ABC.

Read the latest news on the Landmark Legal Foundation on the group's Right Wing Watch index page
Landmark Legal Foundation (LFF) is a legal advocacy group that litigates based on the principles of individual liberty, free enterprise, and limited government. Among others, LLF has targeted the National Education Association, the Democratic National Committee, the AFL-CIO, Emily's List, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Forest Service.
- In February 2007, LLF nominated right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh for the Nobel Peace Prize, calling him the "foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today." Limbaugh serves as an unpaid member of Landmark's Board of Advisors.
- Landmark Legal Foundation (LLF) initiates litigation against major non-profit, governmental, and social institutions.
- LLF focuses primarily on education and environmental litigation, in an attempt to dismantle institutions that preserve universal public schooling and that promote and fight for a clean environment. It assists state legislators in their pursuit to enact educational reforms such as providing school vouchers, private management of public schools, and other voucher initiatives.
- Mark Levin is a contributing editor of National Review, as well as a frequent contributor to the Washington Times and Human Events.
- Works for welfare reform.
- Played a role in supporting Paula Jones during the Clinton sexual scandal by receiving funds from the Scaife Foundation and finding lawyers for Jones. Salon, "Newsreal: The men who kept Paula Jones lawsuit going"
Judicial Nominees Activity
- Landmark Legal Foundation is a member of Kay Daly's Coalition for a Fair Judiciary, along with Free Congress Foundation, American Conservative Union, Family Research Council, Concerned Women for America, and the Christian Coalition. Source
- Landmark Legal adamantly opposed the Senate Democrats' use of the filibuster against judicial nominees. In an op-ed in January of 2005, Levin explained that, "Whatever the politics of ending the Senate's judicial filibusters, and one can only speculate, defending the Constitution is paramount…By denying the president numerous key appointments to vacancies on the federal bench, the judiciary grows increasingly activist due to the remaining numerous Clinton appointees." Landmark Legal Foundation op-ed
- According to MediaTransparency, Landmark received $8,935,200 between 1986 and 2003 in a total of 118 grants.
- Landmark has received $20,000 from ExxonMobil Foundation since 1998
- According to its 990 report, Landmark Legal Foundation received $1,567,258 in gifts, grants, and contributions in 2002.
- Other funders include the Allegheny Foundation, Lynde and Harry Bradley, Foundation, Inc., Carthage Foundation, Castle Rock Foundation, JM Foundation, Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, Philip M. McKenna Foundation, Inc., John M. Olin Foundation, Inc., Sarah Scaife Foundation, and the Scaife Family Foundation.
Landmark Legal Foundation, one of the earlier conservative legal organizations, was founded in 1976, and initially called the Great Plains Legal Foundation. It was created to address the special interest groups and unions "dedicated to tearing down [individual liberty, free enterprise, and limited government] and advancing Big Government."
About President Mark R. Levin
Mark Levin is a former employee of the Reagan Administration, and represented former Reagan Attorney General Edwin Meese during the Iran-Contra investigation. He was a leading advocate of the impeachment of Bill Clinton, and Rush Limbaugh named him head of his (Limbaugh's) "legal division." In 2001 Levin received the Ronald Reagan Award from the American Conservative Union. Finally, Levin strongly disapproves of the United Nations, which he claims is anti-Semitic and disorganized (see quote below).
From LLF's nomination of right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh for the Nobel Peace Prize: "Rush Limbaugh is a nationally syndicated radio talk show host in the United States and one of the most popular broadcasters in the world. His daily radio show is heard on more than 600 radio stations in the United States and around the world. For 18 years he has used his show to become the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today. Everyday he gives voice to the values of democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equal application of the rule of law — and it is fitting the Nobel Committee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peaceful world for future generations."
"How can [John Kerry] support an organization that anti-Semitic? I would like to know how the U.N., given the make-up of the august body, is any different than the KKK or all the rest of it. They've got people in that U.N. that are torturers, mass-murderers, anti-Semites, anti-Americans, anti-freedom, and we're supposed to keep conferring our decisions to them. Why?"—Mark R. Levin audio
"Landmark Legal Foundation is presently engaged in a two front battle— the most ambitious and arguably the most important we've ever faced. It is quite literally a battle for America's future.
"We're confronting the nation's chief obstacle to substantive education reform - the NEA - not only at the national level, but in the states where the union spends millions in tax exempt funds on unreported and hence illegal political activities. In the coming months we will launch the first wave of complaints against key NEA state affiliates. In addition, the Foundation will undertake a major outreach initiative to regional, national and specialty media and key opinion leaders to garner attention and caste the spectrum of public debate where it belongs— on the actions of a union that has no respect for the law. Landmark's complaints and public outreach efforts will bring to the state unions the same unremitting and unwelcome scrutiny from governmental agencies and the media that has resulted in a full IRS field audit and Labor Department investigation of the national union.
"We are also challenging what may be the most insidious legacy of modern liberalism— judicial activism and the radical judges who use it to advance an extremist social agenda. America's courts have become the final bulwark for the advocates of big government who have been defeated time after time at the ballot box at the local, state and federal level. Through an aggressive and multifaceted public education campaign, Landmark's Judicial Reform Initiative is helping to reshape the public debate and crystallize public sentiment about the mission of America's courts and the proper limits on their authority. With the Roberts Nomination to the Supreme Court currently before the Senate— as well as the ongoing controversy about filibusters in the Senate over nominees to federal district and appeals courts, this has become one of Landmark's highest priorities."

Pace: Thunder – 92.8 (14th), Kings – 94.6 (6th)
View from the enemy: Cowbell Kingdom
We don't pile into the Ford Center so much anymore to catch a glimpse of a star, but more to see our Thunder in action. And I definitely prefer it that way. But there are certainly some can't miss guys still. LeBron. Kobe. Wade. Dwight Howard. And while Tyreke Evans isn't a superstar (yet) in the mold of LeBron or Kobe, he is absolutely a player you need to admire live. His speed, his size, his ability – everything about his game is fairly breathtaking in person. Seeing Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green is plenty to get me to pay the price of admission, but Tyreke Evans is certainly added incentive.
Enough about Reke though. This is the tail end of Oklahoma City's three-game homestand. Anything less than 3-0 was to be considered disappointment, and the Thunder took care of business, and I mean took care of business, in the first two games. And in comes an improved, but still very beatable Sacramento squad.
Sacramento coming in: This isn't the same team the Thunder saw twice before this season. No more Kevin Martin. Enter Carl Landry, a player that has given OKC problems. The Kings have won two straight after dropping their last 18 of 23. Both of those wins came at home where Sacto has won 75 percent of its games. The Kings are just 5-25 away from home.
In the first two matchups, the Russell Westbrook–Tyreke Evans head-to-head has been split. Westbrook got the best of Evans in the first, going for 14 points and 13 assists to Evans 10 points and two assists. The next meeting the Kings won by three and Westbrook had just nine points on 3-13 shooting while Evans had 20 points, eight assists and eight rebounds. So if there's a matchup to watch tonight, it's this one. It should be a bunch of fun.
However, I would bet Thabo sees a good amount of time on Evans and Westbrook to roll over and cover Francisco Garcia (who comes off the bench). Last game out, Beno Udrih played 37 minutes for Sacto, meaning that Evans moved over to the two, so there will be a lot of mishing and mashing on the matchups tonight.
The Kings really don't have anyone to cover Kevin Durant though. Omri Casspi will likely start the game on KD, with ultra-athletic Donte Greene seeing a little time as well as Garcia. But this could be a big night for Durant.
The addition of Carl Landry inside certainly helps the Kings, but OKC still should hold an advantage, especially with Jason Thompson still out with a back injury. Spencer Hawes played well for Sacramento last time out, but the Kings bench consists of Sean May and Joey Dorsey on the front line, which isn't very good. Nenad Krstic is a little banged up but will play, so add him, Nick Collison, Jeff Green and Serge Ibaka and the Thunder should have a big leg up inside.
The only thing that could stop the Thunder tonight besides a monstrous performance from Evans is to lose focus and look ahead to the big showdown with the Nuggets tomorrow night. And that's definitely a real possibility. But if all goes to plan, the Thunder should be riding another three-game streak when they take the floor at the Pepsi Center tomorrow night.
Tip at 7:00 CST. Go Focus.

I couldn't speak to either of those questions, but I can tell you that I regularly use coconut oil for dry skin. I just put a small amount in my hand and heat it up, then I rub it on the dry area and it absorbs quite nicely. The interwebs are positively buzzing with threads about coconut oil and it's benefits, I'm not sure how true they are, but it seems to work for me.
I also use it to tame frizz in my hair and give it a nice shine after using shampoo.

Sir.—During the last 60 years, our perceptions of thumb-sucking have changed radically. In the 1920s, infant care advisers warned that sucking could, among other things, cause malocclusion, digestive upset, inflamed adenoids, infection, drooling, and nail biting. By 1960, however, advisers had adopted a permissive stance toward sucking.
Did scientific evidence lead to this change? A review of the advice literature of the period suggests not. Several researchers have drawn attention to the surprising lack of scientific studies of thumb-sucking.1-3 Instead, advice seems to have been based on unproved ideas in the literature, or on the writer's personal impressions.
But did advisers tell their readers that most of their advice was opinion? To gain some insight into this question, I examined 29 advice books published between 1920 and 1970 (the list is available on request). Did these books tell their readers that their advice on thumb-sucking was largely opinion?

The Bushland Falcons and Henrietta Bearcats have one thing in common: Both can light up a scoreboard.
The teams square off in a Class 2A Division II regional semifinal today at Wichita Falls' Memorial Stadium.
Up Next
The Game: Bushland (12-0) vs. Henrietta (12-0), 4 p.m. today, Wichita Falls, Class 2A Division II regional semifinal.
Radio: KPUR (1440-AM), 3:50 p.m.
Looking Ahead: The winner will meet either Crane or Cisco in the quarterfinals.
In the Falcons' 12-0 season, they have racked up 614 points and average 51.2 per game. Bushland has scored 60 or more points three times, 50 or more on five occasions and 40 or more 11 times.
In the Bearcats' 12-0 season, they have scored 527 points for a 43.9 average. Henrietta has scored more than 60 points one time, 50 or more twice, and 40 or more eight times.
It's on defense where there is a huge disparity between the teams.
Bushland, ranked No. 2 by The Associated Press and Harris Ratings, has given up 88 points, with only two teams scoring two or more touchdowns. Henrietta has allowed 242 points, and only once has allowed fewer than 10 points in a game.
Offensively, the Falcons' spread offense has been triggered by quarterback Sawyer Cornelius, who has thrown for more than 3,500 yards and 48 touchdowns.
Cornelius, however, won't play today. He suffered a tendon injury on his non-throwing hand Monday before practice and underwent surgery Tuesday.
''He could return next week to kick if we get past this game,'' said Falcons' head coach David Flowers. Cornelius has done the team's kicking this season, making 79 PATs and one field goal.
Starting in his place at quarterback will be junior Brett Wilhelm, the team's backup.
''Brett has taken as many reps in practice this season as Sawyer,'' said Flowers. ''And he's played in most of our games during the second half.
''Practice went well during the week. The players have confidence in Brett's ability to play the position.''
Flowers said his team will have to play well to reach next week's state quarterfinals.
''Henrietta is a good team and has an outstanding quarterback in Seth Crumpton,'' he said. ''He does it all for them - run, pass and play defense. They have a solid defensive team and we will have to execute our offense well in order to be successful.''
Wilhelm has a talented group of receivers to throw to, led by Michael Matthews (36 catches for 906 yards and 13 TDs) and Crockett Gillmore (31-874, 16 TDs).

Two of the most decorated high school track & field atheletes in the history of Altoona Area High School are again competing at a higher level up the road at Penn State University. I am a little lost as to why the Mirror hasn't picked up on this yet?? Brady Gehret currently sits at #20 in the NCAA(#4 Big Ten)in the 200m dash with a time of 21.29. Aaron Nadolsky is currently ranked #38 in the NCAA(#5 Big Ten) in the 400m dash with a time of 48.19. Both atheletes are part of the 4x400m relay team, an event they both help put Altoona, PA on the scholastic track & field map. Currently, The 4x400 is ranked 3rd in the NCAA and #1 in the Big Ten with a time of 3:09.45, only .02 off the all-time PSU indoor best. Penn State is currently ranked #10 in the NCAA Indoor Track season. They have a very good team this year and are poised to make a run at the Big Ten title. They have 2 more home meets left, one this Friday & Saturday and one next Saturday.

I'm so close. I can feel it. I just need to find the final piece of the puzzle and it will all come together.
I'm talking about running, of course.
Saturday was my first indoor attempt at a 5K. I didn't run a time that I'm necessarily happy with, but it's a starting point.
Not terrible, but not great. Last year my first meet out (not until April, mind you) I also ran a 21:12 two months out of surgery. This is frustrating because two years ago at my first outdoor meet, I ran a 19:56. A few weeks later I turned around and ran a 19:45.
What I've been struggling with is where that gap is coming from. Why can I not run my freshman year times when I'm stronger than I've ever been.
My head.
That's it. I just need to get out of my own head. My knee is 100% healed, I run further than I've ever run before, and I am at a completely healthy weight (I was still very much disordered freshman year) but I'm still not getting faster.
On Saturday, I knew what my 200 splits had to be. 47-48. If I could hit that, I'd run a 20:30 or better, which is where my coach had me starting out. The first 10 laps I felt confident, maybe even great. We went out a bit slow at first because of the pack, but once everyone began to disperse, I found my groove. I even thought to myself "Oh, I can totally keep this up for the whole race". I was within 5-10 seconds of my set pace during the speed workout Tuesday, and everything is finally coming together.
But then something happened around lap 10. I ran a 50 instead of a 48. Then a 51. That's when my head started playing games with me. I wasn't ridiculously tired at all. Sure, I was uncomfortable, but I could have pushed it. I don't know what it was but I couldn't get myself to do it. Once my coach started yelling "surge now, surge now", I lost it. My laps got progressively slower, bottoming out at 54. It doesn't take a genius to know that that is not a good split.
I tried to get back on pace but I grew increasingly frustrated. I could feel it on my face every time I came around to hear my next split. I forgot how to have fun and relax. That's the key to my race.
If I can just relax, I can get to where I need to be. Where I want to be. Which is a very low 19 minute 5K. I know it's doable, I just need to figure out how to get from point A to point B. That's the difficult part.
Hopefully today's track workout will make me believe that, although I won't be thinking it while I'm
suffering through running it today…
What do you do to get out of your own head?

My question is: Would it work to braise this "ham" in milk or would I be better off using a herb crust or some other type of traditional preparation.
I have braised pork shoulder (no smoke, no cure) in milk before with great success but am not sure how it would work in this situation. And my family is not keen on my ruining Christmas dinner!]]>

-With hermaphrodites, one genitalia system is typically more fully developed than the other (≠"true" hermaphrodite)
Gender Role
-Varies based on culture/society
-Societal expectations for normal and appropriate male and female behavior
(Less Variance in Sex and more in Gender)
-Masculine: Math & Science, and male-female difference is usually more significant in industrialized societies. This emphasizes the role of society.
Gender identity doesn't match gonads. genitals, or internal accessory organs. However, gender identity usually goes with sex.
Individuals who cross-dress for emotional and/or sexual gratification
-'Trans'=change; 'vestire'=clothing
Combining typically male (assertive, athletic) with female (yielding, nurturing) characteristics
-'Andro'=male; 'gyn'=female
-No clear line of demarkation on continuum; only society-grey area=androgyny (less in rigid societies, more in progressive societies- ex. women in USA have jobs in same areas as men)
Male v. Female
-Chromosomes-XY v. XX
-Gonads-Testes v. Ovaries
-Hormones-Androgens (testosterone) v. Estrogen
-External Genitals-Penis,scrotum v. Labia, Clitoris, vaginal opening
-Internal Accessory Organs: Prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens v. Vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, cervic
-Secondary Sex Characteristics: Beard, low voice, sperm emission v. Breasts, menstruation
-Sexual orientation: Heterosexual, bisexual for both; gay-men, lesbian-women
-Gender identity- SELF-DEFINED; universal- Male identifies as male, Female as female
-Gender role- SOCIALLY DEFINED; variance- Masculine v. Feminine gender role
Internal & Exernal Sex Organs
-Both start off from undifferentiated tissue, which can develop into either the male or female for.
-Presence of XX or Xy chromosoms "tell" it which way to go; depends on the presence/absence of testosterone
-Glans of penis: Clitoris of vagina
-Scrotum : Vagina
Male & Female Internal Sex Organs
-Early in development, humans have an undifferentiated gonad and BOTH the undeveloped male internal system (Wolfian) and the female internal system (Mullerian)
-Testes secretes both testosterone and MIS/MIF.
-The testosterone causes the development of the Wolfian system. The MIS causes the Mullerian system to wither; male system developed while female system goes away in a typical male
-Female by default
-If you're a female still in development and take away estrogen, female sex characteristics will still develop w/o it
Male & Female External Sex Organs
-Early in development, humans have undifferentiated external sex organs
-Testes secretes testosterone--> metabolized into dihydrotestosterone in external sex organs--> masculization & development of male structures
-Without testosterone and MIS from testicles, development is female
Testosterone Info
-In hyenas, circulating testosterones are elevated during development and believed to masculize the female brain and clitoris (resembles a penis).
-In humans, testosterone crosses into the brain and is there aromatized to estrogen--> estrogen masculizes the male brain. (Females have high levels of alpha-fetoprotein which binds circulating estrogen in the female, preventing it from crossing into the brain)

Frontier Airlines has moved into and out of airports before as it has tried to establish flight patterns that it finds profitable and alleviate the stress on their Denver operations, Freeholder Lucylle Walter said.
"We need to proceed with some caution," Walter said.
The airline has had a very positive impact on the county, Walter said, but she wants to be careful to make sure going forward that the county does not end up investing heavily without a chance to recoup its costs.
County Chief Financial Officer David Miller said in return that because of the way improvements at the airport are funded, the administration expects to avoid putting the county in such a position.
While other freeholders said they agreed with Walter's concerns, they pointed out that they have heard generally positive comments about the airport from county residents.
"The main thing I've heard from constituents is that they want to see Frontier back in business as soon as possible," Freeholder Andrew Koontz said.
Frontier suspended flights from the airport in Ewing for two months, beginning this week, so that renovations could be completed to the airport's runway, terminal and parking lots. County officials have said that these changes will improve the passenger experience at the airport as Frontier continues its presence in the county.
The board of freeholders will take a final vote tomorrow on an ordinance that will establish parking rates at the airport. Motorists could pay between $4 and $10 as a daily rate, and $2 an hour for short-term parking, under this ordinance.
The board also will vote for the first time to authorize $29 million in bonds and $4.5 million in grants and other funds to be spent on capital improvements in the county.
More than a third of the money would go to repairing and improving county bridges, $6.9 million, and highways, $5.3 million.
The single biggest bond item in this ordinance is the $9.3 million that would be used to improve and renovate county parks.
Miller said that while there is normally a need for significant funds for the parks, this year saw an increase because the county is preparing to host the 2014 Special Olympics USA National Games.
Some projects that might have normally been put off for another year or two were accelerated so that the parks would be in better shape for next summer's games, Miller said.

Dr. Acer's Sixth Victim
Sherry Johnson, 18, Learns She Too Apparently Got Hiv from Her Dentist
For Sherry Annette Johnson, it was one of the happiest days in a very unhappy year. On Jan. 6, she was told she was HIV positive. On May 5, she learned that she was the sixth person believed to have been infected by Dr. David Acer, the Jensen Beach, Fla., dentist who died of AIDS in 1990. Acer is the only known U.S. health-care worker to have passed the virus on to his patients—including Kimberly Bergalis, the University of Florida business major who died a lingering death, at age 23, in December 1991.
Two days after being informed, Sherry unburdened herself of her terrible secret. Addressing the press, the slight, blond teenager, who has yet to develop any symptoms of AIDS, was alternately subdued and angry. Flanked by her stepmother, Suzanne, her father, Johnnie, and her lawyer, Robert Montgomery, Sherry told of feeling betrayed by health-care officials who said—even after the Acer case became public—that it was all but impossible to be infected by one's dentist. Sherry's eyes welled with tears as she explained that she thought "everything was fine" when she went to Miami last December to take a preenlistment physical for the Navy. Then she said, "I got a registered letter to go down and talk." Straight out, she was told she was HIV positive.
When asked by a reporter if she thought Dr. Acer had intentionally spread his disease to her and the others—a suggestion for which there is no evidence—she replied, "Let's just say, thank God he's dead."
Acer came to Jensen Beach, the Johnson family's hometown 35 miles north of Palm Beach, in 1981 and worked mostly as a contract dentist for CIGNA Dental Health of Florida. It was through Suzanne's dental policy—she is an office manager for the Martin County Slate Attorney, while her husband is a lieutenant in the sheriffs office—that Sherry and other members of her family went to Acer.
After a Centers for Disease Control report in July 1990 linked Kimberly Bergalis's HIV infection to Acer, Suzanne and her two children accepted the state health department's offer of free testing. All were HIV negative. Secure, so they thought, in the knowledge that HIV infection from a health-care worker was highly unlikely, the family went no further. Sherry had had several fillings from Acer, but had undergone no procedures as invasive as extractions or root canals. She was, however, given local anesthesia involving needles.
Although the CDC report says that Johnson has had six sex partners (five tested negative for HIV; the sixth, whom Johnson says wore a condom, has not been located), her sexual behavior would seem irrelevant, since her DNA testing reveals an IIIV strain shared with Dr. Acer and his five other victims.
Attorney Montgomery—who has reached multimillion-dollar settlements with Acer's insurance carrier and CIGNA on behalf of three of these patients—filed suit this month for Sherry Johnson. Meanwhile, Sherry appears ready to pick up the torch that was carried by Bergalis, who spent her last days urging Congress to make the testing of health workers mandatory. "Nobody gave me the chance to walk out of [Dr. Acer's] office," she says. "I want to make sure everyone does [have such a choice]."
But Sherry, who began AZT treatments in February, has other plans too. She wants to attend nearby Indian River Community College next fall and would like to live as normal a life as she can. For weeks she had declined invitations for sleepovers for fear of infecting her friends. But on the evening she announced her plight to the world, 20 of her friends showed up at the Johnsons' small, comfortable ranch house to be with her. "As far as they're concerned, I'm the same person," says Sherry. "That hasn't changed."

Three years ago, Slovakia participated in a World Cup finals for the first time in its history. Four years before that, Trinidad and Tobago, Ivory Coast, Angola, Ghana, Togo and Ukraine made their World Cup debuts, and 2002 saw the introductions of China, Ecuador, Senegal and Slovenia.
New blood is one of the things that makes the World Cup so fascinating, and a handful of nations are looking to get into the most prestigious tournament in sports for the first time as 2014 qualification enters its latter stages.
Seven of them could realistically arrive in Brazil less than 14 months from now, and barring some major upsets at least three of them almost certainly will.
Let's take a look at all seven, in alphabetical order.

CO2 vs Compressed Air (N2/HPA)
One of the most common questions beginning players ask is the difference between using Compressed Air Tanks (also referred to as Nitro, Nitrogen, N2, HPA or High Pressure Air) and CO2 tanks. In a nutshell, both provide pressure for a paintball marker to cycle and propel the paintball. However, both work on a different principle and sometimes only one can be used.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) was the first propellant used in paintball and set the standard for many years. These are filled with liquid CO2 which expands to create the pressure used for the marker. This pressure fluctuates due to elevation, temperature and other variables but the benchmark is 850 psi (Pounds per Square Inch).
Using CO2 has some positive advantages. The tanks tend to be smaller and lighter than HPA Tanks while yielding the same or more shots per fill. Facilities to have the tanks filled are generally easier to find as many gas/welding supply and fire extinguisher shops have the means to fill your tanks as well as sporting goods stores and paintball pro shops. The number one reason for CO2's enduring popularity is it's low cost. The tanks are very inexpensive, so a player can easily own several tanks, thus having plenty of air for a full day of fun.
