Leaves of three, let them be! You've probably heard that little rhyme about poison ivy. But did you know that poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac all contain the same rash-causing substance? It's urushiol, a colorless, odorless oil (or resin) contained in the leaves of the plants.
Urushiol is considered an allergen because it causes an allergic reaction — which takes the form of a rash, itching, and sometimes swelling. About 60% to 80% of all people get a reaction to urushiol, which can appear within hours of contact or as much as 5 days later.
Typically, the skin becomes red, itchy, and swollen and blisters will appear. After a few days, the blisters may become crusty and start to flake off. The rash from poison ivy takes 1 to 2 weeks to heal.
Consult your doctor if your child has any kind of rash, especially with a fever. If poison ivy or a similar plant caused the rash, the doctor might recommend cool showers and a soothing lotion, such as calamine lotion.
For more severe cases, doctors sometimes prescribe pills or creams that contain antihistamines or steroids (not the same type of steroids that bodybuilders use) to decrease itching and redness.
Poison ivy can grow anywhere — from the woods to suburban backyards. And it's hard to identify: Not only can the green leaves of poison plants blend right in with other plants and brush, but there are several types of poison ivy, and each one can look different depending on the time of year.
It's also possible to get a rash from poison ivy without ever venturing into the woods or directly touching a plant. Urushiol can be transferred from one person to another. Plus, kids can pick it up from anything that's come in contact with the oil, including pets. Urushiol can even travel through the air if someone burns some of the plants to clear brush.
The leaves of poison ivy plants release urushiol when they're bumped, torn, or brushed against. (When the resin is released, the leaves may appear shiny or you may see black spots of resin on them.) Once released, urushiol can easily get on skin.
Here are some tips to help kids avoid getting a rash from poison ivy:
If your kids come into contact with urushiol oil, have them try to wash it off their skin right away by taking a shower and using lots of soap.

SPRINGFIELD - In Uganda, you can go to prison simply for being gay. And some activists in the country believe Springfield pastor and candidate for governor Scott Lively is at least partly to blame.
Lively's involvement in the African nation's anti-gay movement was highlighted Sunday on the HBO show "Last Week Tonight" starring "Daily Show" alum John Oliver.
According to Oliver, these laws originated under British colonial rule, but American evangelicals like Lively ramped up the bigotry in the country in recent years and contributed to making them worse. In fact, Lively is being sued in federal court for alleged crimes against humanity related to the Ugandan laws.
"Last Week Tonight" featured a picture of Lively taken by Republican staff photographer Mark Murray during an interview at the newspaper's offices in 2011. At the start of the segment, Oliver showed a video of Lively saying he believes President Obama might be gay; he then called the independent gubernatorial candidate "crazy" and laughed at him for trying to "reclaim" the imagery of rainbows from gay rights activism.
"Scott Lively is clearly an idiot and, luckily, over here (in the U.S.), we just get to laugh at him," said Oliver. "Unfortunately, though, in Uganda, it is a very different story."
This is followed by a clip of a Ugandan reverend calling Lively an "extremist" with tremendous influence over Parliament, and several clips of Lively making anti-gay remarks at a seminar in the country, saying homosexuals were "probably involved" in the Rwandan genocide of 1994 and claiming that homosexuality is linked to Nazism and pedophilia.
MassLive.com asked Lively to respond to Oliver's allegations, and he said he was grateful for the opportunity because Oliver never did.
"I find it funny that lefties like John Oliver who pose as humanitarians are the masters at dehumanizing other people through ridicule and never give the subjects of their smears a fair chance to respond," said Lively. "Oliver is lying through selective editing. ... His show was one continuous stream of malicious LGBT propaganda in the guise of comedy."
Lively said in another interview that he doesn't support the harsh penalties for being gay in Uganda, to which Oliver said, "Of course not. You were simply saying, 'Look, guys. Gay people are dangerous, insidious Nazis. Do with that information what you will.'"
Lively lashed out at the editing of these clips and Oliver's treatment of his views.
"I'm calling out John Oliver as a liar and a fraud who couldn't go ten minutes with me in an unscripted, unedited debate," Lively said to MassLive.com. "Without his teleprompter and his cheap-shot, out-of-context video clips he would be exposed as just another left-wing loony."
Oliver interviewed a transgender Ugandan activist named Pepe Julian Onziema, who blamed the U.S. for the anti-gay laws.
Before they were enacted, "many of us have suffered from evictions, beatings on the street, arbitrary arrest and so on," said Onziema. But "that increased with (American) influence."
When Oliver jokingly apologized, Onziema replied, "Sorry doesn't cut it," and said he is "not exactly safe" in Uganda, but "I am not going to change out of fear."
"I look over my shoulder every day, but there's no other place I'd rather be," he said, adding that he intends to stay and fight the discrimination.
On his campaign website, Lively's autobiography says he received a doctor of law degree with special credentials in international human rights.
"(Oliver's segment) will likely negatively affect the voters, as it was intended to do," he said. "It's one more example of the 'politics of personal destruction' that Saul Alinsky taught the 'progressives,' including journalists, to practice," he added, referring to the political activist who wrote the book "Rules for Radicals."
"I have been selected by the powers-that-be in the progressive/LGBT community as their current target," said Lively.

2009-H1N1 Influenza: HHS Preparedness and Response Efforts
The Committee on Homeland Security
United States House of Representatives
Wednesday July 29, 2009
Good afternoon Chairman Thompson, Ranking Member King, and Members of the Committee. I am Bill Corr, Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). I am pleased to have this opportunity to update the Committee on HHS' activities related to the 2009-H1N1 influenza outbreak. Several HHS agencies, including the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), play key roles in our preparations for and response to pandemic influenza.
We appreciate the quick action of Congress in recently providing $1.85 billion in immediately available resources and an additional $5.8 billion contingency emergency appropriation for pandemic influenza preparedness and response, of which we have notified you that we plan to immediately access $1.825 billion. The Congress has provided sufficient flexibility within the appropriation for HHS to target its responses and resources as the situation evolves. Immediate activities will include providing funding to states for important planning necessary if a 2009-H1N1 immunization program is implemented this fall; funding to hospitals for preparation activities given a likely surge in patients during the flu season; purchasing additional vaccines, syringes and needles; and providing support for monitoring, diagnostics and public health response capabilities.
Mr. Chairman, we at the Department are proud of what we've done so far to protect the American people. While the headlines and 24-hour news updates may have quieted down, this virus has not gone away, and we have not let up. In concert with our partners at the Department of Homeland Security and throughout the administration, we are doing everything possible to monitor and respond to this virus.
It has been our goal to build the national infrastructure necessary to mount a scalable and flexible response to a novel influenza virus. This has included developing pre-pandemic vaccines for viruses with pandemic potential; federal and state stockpiling of key medical countermeasures, such as antiviral drugs; and conducting exercises to practice accessing and distributing materiel from the stockpiles.
With the strong support of Congress, and working with governors, mayors, tribes, state and local health departments, the medical community, and our private sector partners, the administration has been actively building on the preparations that have been underway for several years for an anticipated influenza pandemic to ensure the nation is ready for the H1N1 virus scenarios that may develop over the next few months. From the outset, we have said that medical science will lead the way, and we are preparing action plans based on the best scientific information available.
I want to be clear: the Department's efforts are not about raising alarms or stoking fears. They are about being prepared. This is a serious virus capable of causing severe disease and death, and it is essential that we have a clear and coordinated strategy to combat it.
With that in mind, HHS is currently working with the White House and our Federal interagency partners to focus and galvanize our efforts around a National Framework for 2009-H1N1 Influenza Preparedness and Response that is based on four pillars: surveillance, mitigation, immunization and communication.
Surveillance entails learning as much as we can about whether and how the virus is changing and spreading in the rest of the world, so that we have a clearer idea of how the virus will present in the U.S. during the fall flu season. Mitigation means encouraging people to do basic things at work, at home, in schools, and in their neighborhoods to help stop the spread of the virus; managing a potential surge in demands on our medical infrastructure; and providing appropriate medical countermeasures to infection. Immunization involves laying the groundwork for a potentially large-scale campaign to distribute an H1N1 vaccine and prioritize its use. And communication means providing clear and accurate information to state and local governments and to the public, which is essential during an outbreak.
Each of the efforts I will describe this morning fits into this framework.
Since the first 2009-H1N1 influenza patient in the United States was confirmed by laboratory testing at CDC on April 15, 2009, the virus has reached every state in the U.S. . On April 26, 2009 HHS issued a nationwide Public Health Emergency Declaration and declared that the emergency justified emergency use of several products. On that and the following day FDA issued four Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) in response to requests by CDC. An EUA allows the use of an unapproved product or use of an approved product for an unapproved use in an emergency declared as justifying such use. These authorizations allowed for the emergency use of certain antiviral medications, in vitro diagnostic devices, and respiratory protection products. A fifth EUA for a diagnostic panel for laboratory screening followed.
As of July 24, 2009 CDC reported 43,771 confirmed and probable cases in the U.S., with 5,011 hospitalizations and 302 deaths. However, most cases are not tested and confirmed and CDC estimates that there have been more than 1 million cases of novel H1N1 flu in the United States to date. Since the exact number of persons ill with 2009-H1N1 flu is likely to be much higher than individual case counts indicate, Friday, July 24, 2009, was the last day that CDC is providing individual confirmed and probable cases of novel H1N1 influenza. CDC will continue to report the total number of hospitalizations and deaths each week, and to use its traditional surveillance systems to track the progress of the novel H1N1 flu outbreak. These systems work to determine when and where flu activity is occurring, track flu-related illness, determine what flu viruses are circulating, detect changes in flu viruses and measure the impact of flu on hospitalizations and deaths in the U.S The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 94,512 confirmed cases on July 6, 2009. For similar reasons, earlier in July the World Health Organization announced that it would stop issuing its global tables showing the numbers of confirmed novel H1N1 flu cases for all countries.
This virus usually causes a self-limited disease that gets better without treatment, but it can also cause severe illness and even death. Infants, children, and those with underlying health conditions appear to be most vulnerable to severe disease.
CDC staff worldwide are collaborating with WHO, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and ministries of health to study characteristics of the 2009-H1N1 virus, including: the severity and transmissibility of H1N1 illness; population-based rates of mild and severe illness; risk factors for severe disease; impact on the healthcare infrastructure; and rates of transmission in households and communities in the Southern Hemisphere. These activities will better prepare the nation and other Northern Hemisphere countries when we enter flu season in the fall.
To date, we have observed rapid early season increase in flu cases in the Southern Hemisphere, evidence of increased burden on health care systems and extended school closures in several locations. We also are working aggressively to monitor for evidence of changes in the 2009-H1N1 virus itself, whether the virus is becoming more virulent or transmittable.
Efforts are underway to develop a vaccine against this new virus. NIH plans to invest more than $200 million in influenza research, including research on the 2009-H1N1, this fiscal year. Over the years, NIH has built a substantial infrastructure of research centers, intramural and NIH-supported extramural laboratories, highly trained personnel, and clinical research networks to rapidly conduct research on new pandemic viruses, such as 2009-H1N1 influenza. This established infrastructure enabled intramural researchers on the NIH campus, researchers at medical centers throughout the country in pre-existing NIH research networks, such as the Centers of Excellence in Influenza Research and Surveillance (CEIRS) and Regional Centers of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases (RCEs), as well as industry partners and individual NIH grantees to act quickly to study the 2009-H1N1 influenza virus. In addition, NIH has been working with the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to speed development of new influenza vaccines, diagnostic tools and anti-influenza drugs.
On May 22, 2009 HHS Secretary Sebelius announced that $1.1 billion of funds previously appropriated for such purposes would be used for vaccine development and manufacturing. This includes resources for the clinical trials that are being carried out through NIH and through the manufacturers in collaboration with the FDA, CDC and ASPR. On July 13, Secretary Sebelius announced that the department will commit an additional $884 million to secure additional ingredients, including antigens and adjuvants, needed to manufacture the H1N1 vaccines. The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) within ASPR has contracted with five vaccine manufacturers for the purchase of these bulk vaccine components. In addition to clinical trials conducted by the manufacturers, NIH will use its longstanding vaccine clinical trials infrastructure, notably the network of Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Units, to conduct clinical studies to confirm safety and determine the optimal dose needed to induce a protective immune response. The five manufacturers who already produce U.S.-licensed seasonal vaccine are also conducting their own 2009-H1N1 influenza vaccine trials under contract with HHS. These studies are just beginning to get under way and will be carried out over the next several months. We anticipate that limited quantities of a vaccine may be available by mid-October.
NIH and its industry partners have been developing several other kinds of influenza vaccines, for example, DNA vaccines, in which harmless influenza genetic sequences are injected directly into a person to stimulate an immune response against the proteins coded for by these genetic sequences. Studies are underway to evaluate how well these candidate antiviral drugs block the 2009-H1N1 influenza strain and to screen other compounds for activity against the virus. However, because these "next-generation" vaccines will require additional safety and efficacy testing before they can be deployed, they are unlikely to reach the public before the vaccines that are currently being produced.
Today a special meeting of CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will take place in Atlanta to follow up on issues related to planning for a 2009-H1N1 immunization campaign should it become necessary. Meeting topics include 2009 H1N1 epidemiology in the U.S. and internationally; implementation planning; vaccine development and formulations; communications; and ACIP Workgroup recommendations on age/risk groups recommended for vaccination.
To help communities prepare for an increase in 2009-H1N1 influenza cases in the fall, HHS, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Education and the White House held the H1N1 Influenza Preparedness Summit at NIH on July 9, 2009 for federal, state, local, and tribal officials to build on and tailor states' existing pandemic plans, share lessons learned and best practices, and discuss preparedness priorities.
At the summit, Secretary Sebelius announced the availability of $350 million in supplemental funding. These funds will be available to state, local and territorial health departments to bolster their response activities to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, including: addressing planning gaps; preparing for a potential mass vaccination campaign; meeting the information needs of the public, health, and educational professionals to support their decision-making; implementing strategies to reduce people's exposure to the 2009 H1N1 virus; supporting laboratory testing; preparing hospitals and the healthcare community; and improving influenza surveillance and investigations.
At the summit we sent a strong message to our State, tribal, and local partners that they must be ready to begin an immunization program by mid-October, when the first licensed vaccine is anticipated to be available. Before an immunization campaign begins, we will review what we know about the vaccine, its safety and efficacy, as well as the status of the pandemic to determine if an immunization program should proceed.
Vaccines are not the only tools we have in our response armamentarium. Other 2009- H1N1 response efforts include the use of antiviral drugs and mitigation efforts, such as social distancing.
The 2009-H1N1 influenza virus is currently sensitive to the antiviral drugs oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) and zanamivir (Relenza®). (Although cases of resistance to oseltamivir have been detected in some 2009 H1N1 virus isolates, they are currently rare.) When it became apparent that 2009 H1N1 was spreading within the United States, HHS released 25 percent of the states' pro rata share of antiviral drugs and personal protective equipment. to help the states prepare to respond to the outbreak. Thirteen million regimens of antiviral drugs have been purchased and are scheduled to be delivered to replenish the CDC's Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) by the end of September 2009. An additional 400,000 regimens of antiviral drugs from the SNS were delivered to Mexico in response to an official request for assistance in combating the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak. Additionally, HHS recently announced plans to provide 420,000 treatment courses of oseltamavir to PAHO to fight the 2009 H1N1 virus in Latin America and the Caribbean.
CDC and other HHS agencies continue to educate the public on ways to prevent infection, including frequent hand washing, staying home from school or work if ill, and coughing and sneezing into your elbow instead of your hands.
School guidance is an area of particular concern because children are one of the groups at greatest risk of illness with this particular strain of influenza and are transmitting the virus at high rates. HHS is working with federal, state, local, and tribal partners to develop a comprehensive public health guidance package to inform decisions about a range of interventions applicable to school settings. Our goal, if possible, is to keep schools open and safe for students, faculty and staff, but we will also advise communities to be prepared for the possibility of school closures, particularly if the virus were to change or become more severe. It will include decision-making guidance about how to choose combinations of interventions most applicable to the local situation and acceptable to the community.
HHS is also working with federal, state, local, and tribal partners to develop a more general set of community-based interventions applicable in a wide range of settings. HHS will develop tools and materials to make the recommendations specific to various settings, and is establishing a technical assistance cadre to provide one-on-one consulting.
To assist in preparing communities for increased healthcare demand, HHS is increasing the level of engagement with healthcare providers by convening stakeholder meetings to develop guidance and/or tools; providing tools and templates for local community planners; facilitating or supporting the development of clinical and triage protocols; and providing other technical assistance to partners and federal agencies.
Additionally, HHS will continue to evaluate community mitigation guidelines. As the outbreak progresses, we will continue to assess all guidelines to ensure that they are appropriately based upon the available science.
Please be assured that we will continue to communicate with you. We will tell you what we know when we know it, and we will also inform you when we don't know. To that end, we continue to work with our state, local, territorial and tribal partners to best prepare our communities to respond effectively to the formidable public health and medical challenge that 2009-H1N1 influenza presents to us all.
I would like to conclude by making two important points. First, we are all in this together. While the steps the Department and other agencies have taken will help engage the American people and ensure they are prepared, it's important for every family, business and school to prepare its own household and business plan and think through the steps they will take if a family member, co-worker, or student contracts the H1N1 flu. This is a responsibility that we all share as parents, neighbors, co-workers and community members.
The second point is that, while the H1N1 pandemic presents a tremendous challenge, it has also brought a valuable opportunity that has helped us accelerate our work to improve the entire public health system; raise awareness about the basic steps people can take to stop the spread of germs and disease and the value of seasonal flu vaccine; and identify the strengths and weaknesses in our prevention and preparedness systems. The application of these lessons will be invaluable.
We have made tremendous progress over the years in preparing for a flu pandemic. Congress has provided strong leadership and support for these efforts. We look forward to working with you to continue the progress we have made to ensure that our nation is prepared for any public health threat.
I would be happy to answer any questions.

Abstract: In the title compound, C24H20FN3O2, despite the 4H-pyran ring having a flattened half-chair conformation [the methine C atom lies 0.257 (3) Å above the plane of the remaining atoms with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0295 Å], the 14 non-H atoms of the 4H-benzo[h]chromene residue are approximately coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.081 Å). The benzene ring is nearly perpendicular to this plane [dihedral angle = 76.18 (10)°], but the planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.033 Å) dimethylmethanimidamide substituent is coplanar [dihedral angle = 1.96 (12)°]. In the crystal, centrosymmetric dimeric aggregates arise from C-HN interactions, and these are connected into supramolecular layers in the ab plane by C-H and - [intercentroid (central C6 ring)(outer C6 ring)i distance = 3.8564 (14) Å] interactions.

Briggs may get new trial
LEWISTOWN – The defense attorney representing a man convicted on two counts of vehicular homicide appeared in court on Thursday to argue for a new trial.
Carl D. Briggs, 44, is currently serving a 6- to 12-year sentence at the State Correctional Institution in Pittsburgh.
Following a three-day jury trial in September 2013, Briggs was convicted on two counts of vehicular homicide while driving under the influence in addition to two counts each of vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter, as well as one count of driving under the influence-general impairment. Briggs was found not guilty of two counts DUI, which had to do with his alleged specific blood-alcohol content at the time of the accident. Charges of aggravated assault while DUI were withdrawn by the prosecution.
Briggs was on trial for the deaths of 64-year-old Bruce E. Kauffman and 63-year-old Judy K. Kauffman, whom he struck with his SUV while they were riding their motorcycle at 4:40 p.m. Oct. 8, 2011, on U.S. 22/522 near McVeytown.
On Thursday, defense attorney Joseph Amendola cited a ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Oct. 30, 2013, which may have an impact on his case.
Amendola requested a portion of the trial transcript pertaining to the testimony of Brian Seay, a representative with Quest Diagnostics.
During the trial, Amendola objected to the testimony of Seay, because he was not directly involved in the analysis of his client's blood-alcohol test at Quest, which is the premise of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court case in Commonwealth v. Yohe.
Amendola stated in his post-sentencing motion that his client has a right to confrontation under the Sixth Amendment – specifically, the right to confront the person or persons involved in the analysis of Briggs' blood. As a result, Amendola has requested the court grant a new trial for his client.
Mifflin County District Attorney Dave Molek said he thought and still believes Seay was the person to call to testify at the trial.
"I thought this met – and still do – that this met the confrontation clause," Molek said.
The clock is ticking on the post-sentencing motion and if the court does not issue an opinion soon, the motion would automatically be denied.
Amendola has signaled to the court that if this were to occur, he would file an appeal with the Pennsylvania Superior Court.

The Ashes has started off with a bang. While the actual quality of cricket might not have been all that great, it was one seriously entertaining Test match.
England and Australia aren't the only two sides with a fierce rivalry. With the sport dating back to the 1800s, many sides have been at each other's throats for centuries.
Cricket rivalries are great because there is so much nuance to them. We've picked what we think the top five rivalries are. Share your thoughts in the comments.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- It's a little cold and damp here at Ralph Wilson Stadium, but the sun is trying to come out in time for kickoff.
We don't have to say how big this game is for the Patriots. The team fell under .500 for the first time in nine years last week. With the Broncos, Seahawks and Jets on the horizon, New England can't afford to lose this week.
And avoiding that outcome won't be easy with guard Logan Mankins on the shelf against a Buffalo pass rush that has already recorded nine sacks.
The Patriots have already ruled out TE Aaron Hernandez, DL Brandon Deaderick, DL Justin Francis, CB Alfonzo Dennard, WR Julian Edelman and Mankins. They only need to deactivate one more player before kickoff.
We'll update this post when inactives for both teams are announced. We'll have our usual coverage after the game. For everything else, follow me on Twitter.
Update: OL Matt Tennant was the final inactive for the Patriots.
QB Tabaris Jackson, S Delano Howell, DE Kyle Moore, LB Kirk Morrison, OL Sam Young, OL Colin Brown, WR Ruvell Martin are inactive for Buffalo. That means that both C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson are good to go for Buffalo.

This is what I have so far:
function f = randnum_reject(a,b,c)
randnum_reject = (b-a)*rand + a; f = randnum_reject; if f == c f = (b-a)*rand + a; else f = randnum_reject; end end
I know I probably made the mistake right after I assigned the output to f. I just really don't have any ideas as to how exclude c when I call random numbers from a to b
Is c always a single value or could it be a vector of values to avoid?
C is always a variable it can't be a vector
No products are associated with this question.
You don't need a for-loop for this problem.
p = [a:c-1,c+1:b]; f = p(ceil((b-a)*rand));
This gives me an error, any other suggestions?
What error does it give, with what inputs ?
p( randperm(length(p),1) )
if your MATLAB is a newer one.
Do not use a variable with the same name as your function. Inside your function rename the variable randum_reject to something else.
When I test it, it doesn't skip the value it's supposed to skip
Are you not wanting to try any of the working solutions under Roger's answer for some reason, and are continuing to use your code (which you admit doesn't work)? If so, why?
What code was it that you tested that did not skip the value it was supposed to?

What can't Tim Tebow accomplish these days?
The Denver Broncos quarterback's latest achievement is topping an ESPN Sports Poll of favorite active professional athletes.
Tebow, who was named by 3.0 percent of Americans age 12 and older, becomes just the 11th athlete to top the ESPN list since it launched in 1994, joining Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, John Elway, Mark McGwire, Brett Favre, Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
"To put this in perspective, Tim Tebow rose to the top before the end of his second season, Rich Luker, founder and director of the ESPN Sports Poll said in a news release. "It took Tiger Woods three years, LeBron James eight years and Kobe Bryant 11 years. I think we may be at the front end of a new era in sports stars. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods dominated the top of the list for 17 years. Woods' fall in 2009 seems to have opened the doors for Bryant, James and now Tebow."

The kids woke up Christmas morning to a house filled with gifts from Santa. Well, you know, "Santa." Maybe Santa is getting senile in his old age, or maybe he was on the sauce, or he needs new glasses, WHO REALLY KNOWS at this point, but Santa failed to notice that the bathtub play set he'd purchased included a bathtub marker.
I really don't know how it happened, I wouldn't have bought the silly thing if I'd noticed the marker. We've made it six years with nary a bathtub crayon or marker decorating our tub, which is really an accomplishment of which I'm quite proud.
So when the kids opened this gift and sat looking starry eyed at the possibility of adorning the bathtub with their artistic genius, this is when I should have put my foot down as a parent. I SHOULD have just said, "no way, Jose." But I buckled under pressure from two very curious and excited kids.
"I can't wait to draw a race track for my cars, Mommy!!" Carson beamed.
"I want to make butterflies! Mommy, can you draw the butterflies?" Ella squealed.
You guys! They were jumping up and down with joy. JOY, people! How do I say no to JOY?! Tell me that.
So joy won, but was quickly replaced by horror. My horror, that is, the children were still full of joy, even when sitting in murky black stained bath water.
Oh, right, I didn't mention that the marker was black. Like a Sharpie. Like a marker that could easily stain.
Bath time in our house is usually a pretty zippy affair. One kid gets in, gets washed, plays for two minutes, rinses, done. Water drained, lather, rinse, repeat with kid number two. Bath time when markers are added to mix was anything but a zippy affair. It involved two kids separately sitting in black water for too long, followed by a second bath for each child so that they could actually get clean. Which, yeah, is the actual purpose of taking a bath.
That doesn't even include the time it took for me to clean the bathtub afterwards. It looked like a scene from a horror movie, or a movie about guys living in a fraternity house, the bathtub stained with black and gray streaks. Two cleaners plus a hefty helping of elbow grease later, the tub was finally clean.
The marker went into the trash along with the washcloth used to clean the tub.
Later that night I googled "Bathtub markers mess" looking for some commiseration, some solace, come WARNING that these markers are, in fact, evil. I found a few people say they were a "little" messy, but "so much fun!" A little messy? So much fun? What is wrong with everyone that I'm the first person to think these markers are the work of the devil?!
So I did what any responsible and sane parent would do. I wrote about it on a blog and search engine optimized the heck out of it to help others who've experienced the same horror. We're all in this together!

COMSTOCK PARK, MI – Jonathon Crawford, the Detroit Tigers top pick in last year's draft, was named Saturday the starting pitcher for the Eastern Division at the 50th Midwest League All-Star Classic on Tuesday at Fifth Third Ballpark.
Manager Andrew Graham selected Crawford, who wasn't even among the initial selections to the team, based on his 3-2 record with a 2.58 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 59.1 innings. He was the first addition to the team as an injury replacement.
Crawford has limited hitters to a .217 batting average; his ERA is fifth in the league. The 22-year-old right-hander out of Florida also has allowed two runs or less in nine of his past 10 outings and posted a 1.58 ERA over that time.
Crawford is one of seven Whitecaps on the all-star team. The Whitecaps also have starting pitchers Austin Kubitza, Buck Farmer, and Chad Green, reliever Joe Mantiply, second baseman Javier Betancourt and outfielder Wynton Bernard.
Kyle Finnegan of the Beloit Snappers has been named the starting pitcher for the Western Division squad by their manager, Omar Lopez of the Quad Cities River Bandits. Finnegan is 5-4 with a 2.85 ERA in 13 starts and ranks among the league leaders with 75.2 innings pitched (2nd) and a 2.85 ERA (9th).
On Tuesday, gates at Fifth Third Ballpark open at 4 p.m. ahead of the ballgame, which starts at 7 p.m. There will be batting practice, an autograph session with both teams and the "Lost Art of Bunting" contest featuring players from both teams. Tigers legend Willie Horton will also be on hand to sign autographs, and he will throw out the first pitch.

Most of the birding organizations around the country have, by now, completed or are in the process of completing the 2008 Christmas Bird Count (CBC) data collection. The Chautauqua County area is no different.
Members of the three birding organizations in our area - the Lake Erie Bird Club, Jamestown Audubon Society and Roger Tory Peterson Institute - continue to participate in this and other birding census counts several times a year to determine the health of our bird species and search for any possible environmental changes in our area that may be determined by the increase or decrease of any of those species. The CBC season in our area this year is Dec. 14 to Jan. 5. Your local count, depending on which organization you participate with, has occurred on one day between those inclusive dates.
The clubs are now in the process of collecting and compiling the data and comparing the statistics of this year's data to those of past years to determine if any significant changes have occurred with any given species that might reflect significant species changes. These changes could indicate environmental or habitat events that effected that particular bird or group of birds.
Article Photos
Submitted photos
Significant sightings in this year's count include, clockwise from above: the Snowy Owl, Snow Goose, Purple Sandpiper, Pine Warbler and Northern Goshawk.
If your group has had more than one local count, they will probably be conducted on different dates within the CBC season. Your organization has probably picked the most convenient date for the members. Several organization members have, over the years, taken part in more than one count as they assist other clubs on their count day.
There is a specific methodology to the CBC, in which everyone can participate. The count usually takes place within pre-established "Count Circles," which focus on specific geographical areas. A count compiler leads each circle. Therefore, if you are a beginning birder, you were able to join a group that includes at least one or more experienced bird watchers. In addition, if your home is within the boundaries of a Count Circle, then you can stay at home for a while and report the birds that visit your feeder or, as many of the members do, join a group of birdwatchers in the field.
In either case, if you have never been on a CBC or a regular bird census before, your first step is to locate and contact your local Count Compiler to find out how you can volunteer in future events. The count that I have participated in this year is in the northern area of Chautauqua County. This section encompasses the territory covered by members of the Lake Erie Bird Club. The compiler for this area is and has been Paul Farver from Brocton.
While the final data is not complete, there have been some very interesting and significant sightings reported to date. Probably the most unusual report came from David Neveu, who sighted a Purple Sandpiper in the Dunkirk Harbor. This bird has had only a handful of sightings in our county over the years that I have been keeping the data. I was fortunate to obtain a photo, which I took several years ago.
This count is an annual event started in 1900 by the late Frank Chapman. This event did not necessarily begin with a scientific approach, but as a hunt of those species for food and other purposes. Over the years, the count quickly turned into a scientific search of the birds of the Christmas season. Significant sightings reported from this year's count, in addition to the Purple Sandpiper, were the Snow Goose, Pine Warbler, Northern Goshawk and Snowy Owl.
In closing, I would like to thank all of the individuals in the various bird clubs and the county who participated in this scientific bird study. Data collection like this helps us keep track of any environmental changes. Especially by looking at the number of specific birds reported, we can determine what environmental disturbances might be occurring to cause that disappearance. I want to especially thank Paul for all his work, along with the many contributors to the bird counts.
I wish all of you a safe and healthy new year.

To the editor:
This is an update to my original letter to the editor that appeared in the Feb. 6 Hunterdon County Democrat. The letter was concerning Phoebe Torsilieri, a student at Hunterdon Central High School and her art project that had been relocated away from the main exhibit of other works by her fellow students.
I sent the original letter to the editor on Jan. 27, before numerous e-mail exchanges with the administration at the school to arrange a meeting. I requested the meeting to discuss my belief it was a "shaming" situation and to ask why there was no explanation given to Phoebe regarding the re-location of her beautiful work of art.
After overcoming scheduling and weather issues, on Feb. 6 I had a somewhat positive and forward-thinking meeting with school Superintendent Chris Steffner, Supervisor of Fine Arts Jacqueline Cole and Principal Suzanne Cooley. Sadly, Cooley arrived late as she had another meeting scheduled. She had some wonderful words to say about Phoebe. I expressed my dismay to them of this "shaming" and especially the lack of explanation given to Phoebe and to Susan, her mother.
The administration never gave me a concrete reason as to why this piece of art was relocated. They did mention an incident with a special needs student that may have had some affect. Personally, I don't think it was enough to move the piece. The administration explained the multiple situations and issues with which they must contend on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. They include: the curriculum, support or lack thereof for LGBT issues, differences of opinions about religious beliefs, those who believe in creationism vs. those who don't, reading materials within the curriculum and believers in a woman's right choose vs. those who believe in right to life. I understand these issues they must address at the school.
The administration has begun to put in place some parameters in regard to the subject matters that will be permitted for public display of art. Although I suppose this restriction is needed, I am profoundly sad that a policy such as this must be implemented.
In the end, there was mutual agreement that Phoebe will have a meeting with the administration so they may explain the reasons for the movement of her wonderful piece of art.
In a final note, on Friday Feb. 7, Phoebe was awarded the "Best Vocalist" at Hunterdon Central. This only adds to the many awards and accomplishments of this multi-talented young lady!

Obama say, "respect it!"
A Sudanese woman was found guilty of adultery and sentenced to death by stoning by an Islamic court in Sudan. Human rights activists are appealing to the United Nations for relief, but the United Nations has endorsed the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights, which is a "human rights" declaration devised by Islamic countries; it endorses the Sharia. And Sharia contains the law mandating stoning for adultery. So who are they appealing to? The Organization of Islamic Cooperation will make sure that the UN does nothing. And the Arab League? The Arab League is the Muslim League -- they're not going to lift a finger against stoning for adultery.
"Sudan: Second Woman Sentenced to Death By Stoning in Sudan" All Africa, July 26, 2012 (thanks to David)
Khartoum — Earlier this month a Sudanese woman was found guilty of adultery and sentenced to death by stoning by a court in the capital Khartoum, a regional women's rights group said Monday.
SIHA Network reported that on 10 July 2012, Judge Imad Shamoun sentenced Laila Ibrahim Issa Jamool, 23, to death by stoning for adultery at Al-Nasir Criminal Court under Article 146 of the Sudanese Penal Code 1991.
"Mrs. Jamool, is now being detained, shackled at the ankles with her six-month old baby at her side. The child is understood to be in poor health and Mrs. Jamool is in need of psycho-social support for her distress", SIHA said.
This is the second case of its kind this year. In April, Intisar Sharif Abdullah confessed to adultery after being beaten by her own brother and was sentenced to death by stoning. In both cases the women did not have access to a lawyer and were nursing children of breast feeding age, which is illegal under Sudanese and international law.
Article 36(3) of the 2005 Interim Constitution of Sudan states:
"No death penalty shall be executed upon pregnant or lactating women, save after two years of lactation."
Mrs. Abdullah was eventually released after an appeal with the retrial court finding a "lack of evidence" against her.
Responding to Mrs. Jamool's sentence SIHA - the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa - issued a statement demanding her immediate and unconditional release and the end to the criminalisation of women for adultery in Sudan. The group asked the Ministry of Justice and other relevant institutions to investigate and overturn the judgment.
SIHA's statement outlined that the case was "problematic" under both Sudanese and international law, calling on the "human rights community, The African Union, The Arab League, and United Nations and to oppose this practice and leverage its influence to prevent this act of brutality."
Under the United Nations Convention on Torture (1984) stoning is classed as cruel, inhuman and degrading. International human rights legislation that Sudan has signed prohibits stoning as a method of execution, according to SIHA's statement.
Critically, the human rights group said, "this has been taking place in absence of legal representation for Mrs. Jamool and after only three court sessions, inclusive of a referral to a higher court than that of first instance, Mrs. Jamool was sentenced to death by stoning."
Sudan is one of the few countries which retains the death penalty for adultery. However, its application has not been recorded in recent years. Many of Sudan's Public Order Laws (based on the government's interpretation of Islamic Shari'a Law) are inconsistently applied.
President Omar al-Bashir said recently that Sudan's new constitution would be "100% Islamic" following the secession of the largely Christian South of the country last year.
The legal procedures in Mrs. Jamool's case, SIHA said, are in clear violation of due process and Sudan's interim constitution:

The results? Inconclusive.
I tried all three washes. The clinical term for how they smell is cologne-y. One of them even contained some kind of abrasive, granulated sediment. This is a trend in bathing I've yet to get on board with.
Response from target demographic: Zero. It could be because I went to the smoky bar that tends to dull the sense of smell.
The weekend was a bust, but the perfect Axe-confidence opportunity presented itself Monday morning. I was sent to interview Miss America, real name Kirsten Haglund, a Farmington Hills native who was in town on Miss America-related business. She was a guest on the WTNR-FM (94.5) morning show, and some of the local media were invited.
I wondered if I might impress her with my confident new aroma. But alas, it was not to be. When given the chance to ask her a few questions, I decided not to have one of them be, "Would you like to come over here and smell me?" Probably wise. Nobody wants to be remembered as the guy who got pepper-sprayed by Miss America.
So I'm rethinking this experiment. From what I've picked up in my encounters with real Axe wearers, it seems as if the most common way to apply Axe is to use far too much of it.
What I plan to do, then, is bathe using Axe and only Axe until I start to build an aura. Stay tuned.

EDISON — The Citizens Campaign, an advocacy group, has scheduled an event for Saturday, Nov. 16, designed to help residents determine if their towns are ready for another storm like Hurricane Sandy.
The event will be held at Middlesex County College in Edison from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is free to the public, said Heather Taylor, a spokeswoman for the group. The Citizens Campaign is headed by Harry Pozycki, a former Middlesex County freeholder who will also take part in the conference.
Taylor said the event will have four breakout sessions that will give participants tools and training in citizen journalism, what should be done to upgrade municipal emergency communications, how to set up a blog and mapping out a story.
"We've been teaching citizen journalists for years," Taylor said. "We have had people come to us and want training in how to look for records and share the information they collect."
She said the event is supported in part by the NJ Recovery Fund, whose goal is to focus on "building stronger and more engaged communities in the wake of Sandy."
"We thought it was a perfect tie-in," Taylor said.
Titled, "Eyewitness Reports: Are we ready or not?" the event will be held in the college center. Speakers will include Justin Auciello of the Jersey Shore Hurricane News, created to keep people connected after the storm last year, Mayor Alex Torpey of South Orange, Pozycki, and Joseph Malinconico, former Star Ledger reporter now working for The Paterson Press, the hyperlocal site for the city of Paterson that is owned by The Citizens Campaign.
The campaign is sponsoring a similar event this Saturday at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, Taylor said.
The event is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required. Those who want to register should go to thecitizenscampaign.org or call (732) 548-9798.
Taylor said morning refreshments and lunch will be provided to participants at no cost.
"By empowering citizens with the skills and know-how to collect and share information, we can foster greater civic engagement and ensure the public is informed about recovery decisions," she said.

Mass Amino Acid Tablets
by Beverly International
Protein supplementation for increasing nitrogen retention and lean mass
What: EachMass tablet contains hydrolyzed casein peptides. This means that Mass is made up of naturally occurring amino acids found in milk which have been partially digested to make them easier for humans to absorb. This process also destroys any allergenic properties associated with milk protein. There are 500 tablets per bottle.
Who: Athletes who want to increase muscle size and strength. Since Mass is produced from pure protein, it is free of fats, carbohydrates or any food additives so it is ideal for people who are on restricted diets. Anyone who is lifting weights will benefit from Mass.
Why: Mass Amino Acid Tablets are a rapid absorbing, pre digested protein source that acts almost like a trigger to force muscular gains. Taken before, during and after training it puts your body into a positive nitrogen balance (Positive Nitrogen Balance = Muscle Growth).
Taken with meals, Mass maximizes the amino acid profile of your whole food so you can squeeze more muscle building nutrition out of the foods you eat.

|Burrowing Bettong (Bettongia lesueur)
The Burrowing Bettong
The burrowing bettong is a nocturnal, vulnerable species. Both humans and predators are the main contributors to the decline of the burrowing bettong. Although the burrowing bettong resides in Australia an the islands of Barrow, Bernier, and Dorre. There are no natural predators on Barrow Island, the population of burrowing bettongs on Barrow Island is about 5,000 animals, and this is the only secure population. "Boodie" and "Rat Kangaroo" are other common names for the burrowing bettong. There are efforts being made to bring the species onto the mainland of Australia.
Underground warrens are built by the burrowing bettong for shelter during the day. Notably, the burrowing bettong is the only macropod to use warrens. Upwards of 50 burrowing bettongs will live in the same warrens. This species is extremely social and communicates vocally using grunts, hisses, and squeaks. A single warren may have several entrances, nests are built of grass. Warrens can be found in scrub and hummock grasslands, preferring to dig under firm soil.
The average weight of the burrowing bettong is 1320g. The average head and body measurement is 300mm, the average tail measures 240mm. Burrowing bettongs on Barrow Island are slightly smaller compared to those on Dorre and Bernier Islands. Thick dark golden fur covers the animal but is lighter on the underbelly. Short ears and nose are present. The tip of the burrowing bettong always has black on the bottom half of the tail, however the very tip is sometimes white.
Burrowing bettongs are largely vegetarian and will dig for food using scent to guide them to the food. This species enjoys eating leaves, fruit (particularly figs, they will build their warren under a fig tree if possible), fungi, and occasionally tubers and carrion found on the beach. Burrowing bettongs have been seen looking for food in human inhabited camps.
Male burrowing bettongs are highly aggressive. Breeding will occur throughout the year. The gestation period for this species generally lasts 21 days. Young will leave the pouch after 115 days. Young are born one at a time, a maximum of three young can be raised in one year.

British megastar comedian Russell Brand was arrested yesterday LAX for allegedly beating up a photographer of the paparazzi variety. TMZ is reporting that he was angered after said photo snapper attempted to take photos of what was under pop star Katy Perry's billowy skirt. You may know that Brand is engaged to marry Perry.
The photog made a citizen's arrest and the cops at the airport made it official, booking him for battery. You can check out a video of some of the action over at TMZ. Or can you watch this video below of Brand's latest comedy special, wherein he expresses the deep desire to be famous in America. Well, Russell. You are now. You should probably get used to asshole photographers trying to take photos of your mega famous fiance.

|Looking for God II: Catholics Who Leave and Why
|Written by Sherry
|Tuesday, 30 June 2009 06:19
Here's a really interesting side aspect to the newest Pew findings that I didn't blog in the last post for lack of time:
Catholics who become Protestant and those who become "unaffiliated" do so for very different reasons. Which means we can't deal with them as though they were a single group with a single motivation. And they leave Catholicism for one set of reasons and chose to enter their new "religious affiliation" for a related but different set of reasons. (Pew asked both why they left and why they eventually chose the religion they chose.)
To repeat a couple of relevant points from the earlier post, two thirds of American Catholics who do become Protestant, become evangelicals. The majority of those who do become Protestant don't simply leap directly and firmly from the Catholic Church into their local mega non-denom or Presbyterian church. There tends to be a time lag between leaving Catholicism and entering Protestantism and the majority make the journey in a series of two or more steps.
And, of course, some former Catholics will come back. But we don't know how many or why. (The 9% figure for reversion in the post below was for all Americans who have left all religious affiliations and then returned, including the "affiliation" of having been raised "nothing". Some people leave "nothing", choose a faith, and then return to "nothing" at some point.) There is no way to know if 9% of Catholics who leave will come back, if the percentage of Catholic returnees is larger or smaller than the national average, nor do we know the primary reasons why former Catholics choose to return.)
What motivates Catholics who leave and eventually enter a Protestant body?
(For the figures below, Pew asked "yes-no" questions and individuals could choose multiple reasons - as many as had been true for him or her). Here were the most important reasons
raised RC, become Protestant
71%: Spiritual needs weren't met
70%: Found a religion they liked more
43% Unhappy with Church teaching regarding Bible
32$ Dissatisfied with worship experience
29% Married someone of different faith
27% Unhappy w clergy sex scandal
The positive reasons why these former Catholics chose to affiliate with a particular Protestant group or congregation?
81% Enjoyed religious services/style of worship
62% Felt called by God
30% Attracted by specific minister or pastor
28% Married someone of new religion
19% Moved to a new place
It is putting the two together that suggests a pattern.
1) for those who become Protestant, there seems to be some sense of personal spiritual investment and search ("spiritual needs weren't met") and of a personal connection with God ( 61% "felt called by God") . People who don't experience some kind of personal connection to God are unlikely to say that they "felt called by God" to do something.
This is especially striking when we remember that the Pew Religious Landscape Survey of 2008 found that huge numbers of Americans believe in an impersonal God. 29% of self-identified, affiliated Catholics told the Pew researchers that they believed in an "impersonal" God. Only 48% of US Catholics are certain that one can have a personal relationship with God
It is possible, of course, that for some, the language of "God called me" is a reinterpretation of their Catholic past in light of their largely evangelical present. But nevertheless, it is very different language from that used by Catholics who became "unaffiliated" (as we'll see in a moment).
2) Catholics who become Protestant do so because they found a religious alternative that they "liked more" or so 70% of those surveyed told the Pew people. This is a staggeringly different response from that Catholics who become "unaffiliated". Only 10% of Catholics who abandon all religious affiliation said they "found a religion they liked more". For Catholic who become unaffiliated, it is much more about rejection of Catholic beliefs than an inherent attraction to being unconnected to a religious community.
The strongest positive number is the 81% of former Catholics who said they joined their present Protestant church because they enjoyed "the religious services/style of worship". 32% told the Pew researchers that among the reasons they left was the fact that they were "dissatisfied with atmosphere of worship services." (We don't know exactly what they did not like about their experience of Mass and what they like about the services they now attend. It doesn't not help understand their motivations - which is the point of this exercise - to simply project our current concerns and disputes about the liturgy on them.)
Catholics who become Protestant seem to be motivated by a combination of personal spiritual dissatisfaction and having found a religious alternate that they like better. Especially having found a kind of religious service they really like.
Catholics who abandon religious affiliation altogether are another kettle of fish. Here are their numbers:
Why did you leave?
71% Just gradually drifted away
65% Do not believe teachings
56% Unhappy with teachings on Abortion/homosexuality
48% Unhappy with teachings on Birth control
33% Unhappy with teachings on Divorce/Remarriage
27% Clergy sexual abuse scandal
24% Unhappy priests cannot marry
Why did you choose to be "unaffiliated"?
42% Do not believe in God/most religious teachings
33% Not found the right religion
As the Pew people noted, Catholics who leave for "nothing" are much more motivated by a long list of Church teachings which they do not believe. But the most important reason is "drift". They just don't seem to care as much or be as invested in faith issues altogether as their fellow Catholics who left to become Protestant.
Notice however, that 33% are still open to the possibility of finding "the right religion".
There's a lot more on this critical topic in the Pew survey but I must push off and do some errands. In the meantime, check out Pew's nifty summary of their findings here.

Big Sean's got another shoe coming with adidas Originals. The good news is that they will be a little bit more widely available than his last one, that super hard to track down blood red "Detroit Player" adidas Pro Model II. The same basic formula is in place for this last pair: there's the higher hitting silhouette along with the snakeskin debossing and gunmetal accenting. Personal details this time around all point to Sean's upcoming Hall of Fame album, one which will hit a couple days before the shoes' August 31st release date. Continue reading to see the shoes and check out the presale info over at adidas if you feel like you need a pair.

Wolves joust with Knights in league showdown
After months of hype, the matchup between the South Kitsap and Bremerton prep boys basketball teams will come to fruition tonight at 6 p.m. in the first of two regular season meetings.
SK will hold court tonight in what SK coach John Callaghan anticipates as a very good game.
Though Bremerton enters the game 1-3 overall, its losses to Capital and Bellarmine were by a combined six points.
Callaghan said there is no doubting Bremertons talent.
Theyre very tough, Callaghan said. Marvin Williams is very tough and quick.
Williams is Bremertons highly touted 6-foot-7 inch power forward everyone in the west Sound has been talking about, and senior post Kellen Alley plays taller than his 6-4 frame.
But SK boasts a pair of super sophs who have been putting up equal, or better, numbers.
Sophomore Adam Bennet, a 6-6 post, scored a career-high 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in a 59-50 win at Mount Tahoma last Friday.
Sophomore Jake Beitinger also added 12 points (his scoring average) in the win.
While the attention may be put on the low-post game, Callaghan said both teams match up equally.
While SK has the backcourt of Jason Boyd, Tremaine Curry and Tyler Mayfield Bremerton will counter with Michael Stitt, Joe Bollinger, and Tieba Bropleh.
Callaghan said both teams rotate eight or nine players in the game.
The key will be who plays the better defense, Callaghan said.
Well show them a variety of things, Callaghan said. Well need to play good transition defense because they like to run the court.
In a rare doubleheader in which the varsity boys and girls teams play at the same site, Callaghan said he anticipates a big crowd.
He said he hopes the gym is full like the good old days of the 1970s.
With both schools in the same league for the first time since the 1970s, Callaghan said this game could rekindle a rivalry thats been dormant since the days when basketball was at its peak in popularity at SK.
It would definitely add flavor to the game, Callaghan said. Itd be great if the band is there.
