Looking for an alternative to treating head lice? Latest studies show the ingredients in tea tree oil may be an effective method to naturally fight this common scalp condition.
While many over-the-counter medications are effective, some products may contain harsh pesticides that can cause unwanted side effects.
Tea tree oils are a natural extract from the leaves of a plant called Melaleuca alternifolia. The plant species is native to Australia and the leaves and stems are distilled to produce the oils.
These essential oils contain a number of potent ingredients that have anti-microbial properties; these active ingredients hold the key to this oil's effectiveness in treating a variety of health conditions.
Head Lice
Head lice are human parasites that infest your hair and scalp. There's a common myth that head lice infections are due to unsanitary living conditions, but this is false. Head lice can affect all ages and socio-economic classes.
Lice can't jump or fly from one person's head to another, so you can't get infected being near someone with head lice. Infections occur when physical contact is made with a contaminated person. Sharing hats, combs, towels or other head wear is another method for increasing the risk for infestation.
The most effective ways to eliminate head lice is by using fine tooth combs or medication on the scalp and hair to kill off the adult lice. Most of these medications work like pesticides which attack the nervous system of the lice, thereby killing them. However, if you don't want to expose yourself to pesticides, there are healthier alternatives.
Recent studies show tea tree oils may be an effective method for treating head lice.
Dublin, Ireland - Researchers discover two active ingredients in tea tree oil can kill head lice:
The above ingredients work by inhibiting a specific enzyme in lice, resulting in nerve death. However, other important factors have to be considered for maximum effectiveness:
The strength of tea tree oils used.
How much oils are used for effective results.
How long the oils are kept on the scalp to kill the lice.
How many treatments needed for lasting results.
Tea tree oil shampoos
One method is by pouring a small amount of your regular shampoo in your palm and adding 100% tea tree oil to it.
Shampoo your hair and massage this mixture into your scalp. It's recommended you do this every time you normally wash your hair.
After shampooing your hair, use a nit comb to help remove lice from your scalp.
Repeat this procedure 3 - 4 times per week until head lice are gone.
You can also get tea tree oil shampoos that are conveniently pre-mixed with the oil and ready to use.
Many people have contacted us with their experiences when using these plant oils to treat head lice. Here's a few samples:
"I treated my daughter with Rid two times, then used Nix and still found lice. I took her to the doctor and used a creme he prescribed. I still found lice days after that treatment as well. I tried a mixture of olive oil and tea tree oil to treat the lice; I saturated her hair with the mixture and put a shower cap on her. I left it for 30 minutes. I then put it on our shampoo and conditioner. The next 2 days she was clear and I have not found any head lice since then - it has been 5 days now! No nits no nothing! I will go on TV to advertise this stuff! I do not know why nothing could get rid of these things! I will update if anything changes but right now tea tree oil is my miracle!" - Suzanne
"I have been fighting head lice on my daughter for about 6 months (I think her classroom is infested at school). I get it cleared up and then a few nits show up after being back in school after vacations. All I do is pull out the few nits I see, then put pure tea tree oil on her scalp at night and in the morning I wash it out with a tea tree oil shampoo. I do this for about 5-7 days to make sure I kill anything that hatches (even when you comb out the nits you will most likely miss some). Then I have her shampoo with a tea tree oil shampoo on a regular basis. As I said, I know it works because the nits are gone for over a month, but if the classroom is infested, then there is a chance they will pick something up again. If you shampoo daily with a tea tree shampoo, they will most likely NOT get them again. But, if you shampoo every 2-3 days, (which happens often when we're busy) they could get a bug again." - Jennifer B, Placerville, CA
Adding a few drops of 100% tea tree oil to your regular shampoo can help you fight head lice and improve your scalp health.
Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil is an excellent tea tree oil to add to your regular shampoo. This oil has a high terpinen-4-ol content for maximum germicidal activity.
Try adding a few drops of this healthy oil to your shampoo when you wash your hair and work it into your scalp. Try to leave it your scalp for a few minutes before rinsing.
You can also use Tea Tree Oil Shampoos. These specialty shampoos have the tea tree oil mixed right and are ready to go.
Using Jason Natural Cosmetics Tea Tree Oil Hair & Scalp Therapy Shampoo is an effective way to combine the anti-microbial powers of tea tree oil with a gentle cleansing natural shampoo. Some people may not find this formulation strong enough so you may have to add additional tea tree oil to the shampoo when you use it.
Another product is Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Deep Scalp Cleansing Shampoo. This shampoo contains tea tree oil for natural treatment of head lice. The tea tree oil has a high terpinen-4-ol content, the primary germicidal shown to have an effect on head lice.
You may also be interested in Lice Eliminating Natural Shampoo. This is an all natural, non-toxic, head lice kit that uses enzymes to eliminate head lice. The customer reviews at Amazon.com appear quite favorable for this product.
Many people have reported great success combining tea tree oil and head lice treatments. If you're concerned about side effects from anti-lice medications, tea tree oil may be the natural cure for head lice you're looking for.

One voice can be powerful, but four have taken Quartette through a 20-year career.
Sylvia Tyson, Cindy Church, Caitlin Hanford and Gwen Swick have been performing and recording together as Quartette for 20 years, recently releasing 10 tracks of original material and an album reflecting their favourites over two decades. The group performs at The Celtic Circle July 19. SUBMITTED.
Sylvia Tyson suspects each artist's solo career has contributed to the group's success.
"We're all mature musicians," she said, adding that they had already been in the music business for many years when they formed in 1993.
Tyson, Cindy Church, Caitlin Hanford and Gwen Swick bring their genre transcending harmonies to The Celtic Circle later this month, a return show for Tyson who performed at the space in 2011 as a solo endeavor.
The group, whose influences include blues, folk and jazz, recently released a new album, Rocks and Roses, and a 10-track collection of their favourites over two decades.
Choosing which songs would make the cut was an interesting experience, Church said.
She sat in Tyson's home, looking at a pile of all of their music, six full-length albums, as the group decided which ones reflected their sound.
"We have done a lot in 20 years, haven't we?" Church remembers saying, and laughing.
The choices reflect the group's favourites, but not necessarily what the fans would want, Tyson said.
With the two CD package, all of the songs, except for one Gordon Lightfoot cover, have been written by one of the women, as most of their material is.
Though a democratic system, Tyson said, all of them have had their material turned down by the group, simply because it wouldn't work with the harmonies and sound.
They rarely select other songwriters' material, either.
They've done well for themselves, receiving Juno Award nominations, and a Canadian Country Music Award for best vocal collaboration.
"We have done a lot in 20 years, haven't we?" - Cindy Church
"It's as much about the friendships as it is about musical relationships," Church said.
Tyson is well known as being one half of folk duo Ian & Sylvia, recording 13 albums through the 1960s and 1970s, and has also made 10 albums as a solo artist.
Her long storied career has earned her a spot in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Order of Canada.
All four women have a long list of collaborations and accomplishments.
Swick joined Quartette as Colleen Peterson's replacement after the original member lost her battle with cancer.
Swick has three solo albums as well as spot in the Marigolds, which also includes Quartette member and music teacher Caitlin Hanford.
Church, originally from Bible Hill, grew up as many Nova Scotians do, she said, surrounded by music.
It led her to recordings on her own as well as with Ian Tyson as part of the Chinook Arch Riders and on his solo albums, trio Great Western Orchestra, a tribute band for Hoagy Carmichael, and Lunch at Allen's.
Quartette performs at the Celtic Circle on July 19 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $30 and are available at Big Al's, The White Lotus or by calling the Celtic Circle.

Jaromir Jagr finally had a big game for the Philadelphia Flyers. After going scoreless in his first seven games with his new team, the salute returned, much to the delight of the Flyers faithful. He's shown remarkable chemistry with center Claude Giroux—Jags found himself on several breakaways or partial breakaways because of slick passes from his linemates.
The goals return Jagr to the ranks of the NHL's most reliable players.
While some skaters drive coaches insane with inconsistency and streaky goal scoring, others are able to put up points across a full season—as opposed to a five-point game every other month. There is a place on a team for both kinds of players. But the consistent guys typically stand out, and for good reason.

Introduction: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of palliative split-course concurrent thoracic chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with incurable locally advanced and metastatic non–small cell lung cancer.
Methods: All patients with incurable non–small cell lung cancer and symptomatic thoracic disease treated with palliative split-course CRT between March 2006 and February 2013 at a single institution were included in this retrospective study. The primary endpoint was improvement in presenting thoracic symptoms. Secondary endpoints included toxicity, overall survival, and the cumulative incidence of locoregional failure.
Results: Fifty-five patients were identified, of whom 89% had distant metastatic disease at the initiation of treatment. The median radiotherapy dose delivered was 40 Gy over 20 fractions. Over 90% of patients were able to complete at least 2 cycles of chemotherapy, and 89% of patients completed the prescribed course of radiotherapy. Forty percent of patients had improvement in all presenting symptoms and 78% experienced improvement in at least 1 symptom. Nine and 2 patients, respectively, experienced grade 1 and 2 esophagitis and 1 patient experienced grade 2 pneumonitis. There were no cases of grade 3 toxicity. With a median follow-up for surviving patients of 4.5 months, the estimated actuarial 6-, 12-, and 24-month overall survival was 56%, 25%, and 13%, respectively. The actuarial 6-, 12-, and 24-month cumulative incidence of locoregional failure was 6%, 14%, and 22%, respectively.
Discussion: Split-course CRT allows for early introduction of systemic therapy while providing durable locoregional control with tolerable morbidity and significant improvement in chest symptomatology. This paradigm is a viable model for chest palliation in selected patients with intact performance status.

Pitching: RH Jerome Williams (1-1, 5.51 ERA
Some pregame notes …
- One day after Pujols was evidently peeved details of his involvement in a hitters' meeting got out, he and Mickey Hatcher have moved on.
- Peter Bourjos has started just one of the last five games and it may not get any better with Trout playing center field every day. When asked if a demotion to Triple-A has been discussed, manager Mike Scioscia said: "I think there's a huge role for Peter on our club. If it's not playing seven days a week, there's going to be playing time for him here, and he definitely makes our team deeper. We'll see how it progresses. Right now we want him to fit into our team and hopefully make us stronger."
- Scott Downs is available today after converting a four-out save last night.
- As for what the dynamic between Downs and Jordan Walden is in the ninth right now, Scioscia said: "The bottom line is we need arms in the back end of our 'pen holding leads, and it has to be more than Scott Downs. So, whether Jordan goes back to being closer, which his stuff plays really well in the closer's role, or if Scott Downs just takes off and runs with it and becomes a closer and somebody like Jordan Walden becomes a setup [man], we need depth at the back end of our bullpen." Scioscia didn't dismiss the possibility of Downs remaining as closer, but said the ideal situation is for Walden to be closer and Downs to be able to match up in the seventh and eighth.
- Kendrick has now been out of the 2 spot for back-to-back games, and it appears it'll stay that way for a while. "I think right now, hitting in the 6 hole is really good for him because he's going to get RBI opportunities," Scioscia said.
Some Angels links from Monday …
- Hunter, Downs help seal win
- Pujols shrugs off homerless April
- Walden focused on improving slider
- Trout ignoring pressure to pick up Angels
- Jorge Cantu opts out of contract, becomes free agent
- Angels seek offense against struggling Liriano
Some AL West links …
- The Rangers' Adrian Beltre and Josh Hamilton missed the game versus the Jays today
- Mike Carp rejoined the Mariners
- Jemile Weeks is struggling offensively for the A's
And Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire will miss at least Game 3 against the Heat after punching a fire extinguisher.

Regardless of his affection for the west coast, I think it's clear that Maddon will not be Rays maaengr for life he enjoys the kind of larger than life presence that cries out for a big media market.But, petty as it seems, his perspective bugs me a little. The Rays pay him millions of dollars to lead a team that the national media already perceives as unloved. Can't he at least talk up the Tampa Bay area a bit for his salary? For goodness sake, Joe, you earn enough to move your wife and kids here and make this home.

Waterford volleyball kicks off season
WATERFORD – The Waterford Lady Wildcat opened their 2014 campaign Monday night with over 20 girls participating in the first practice.
The Lady Cats come into the season looking to pick up right where they left off as the 2013 team finished the season with a 23-3 record, good enough for 16th place in the year ending Ohio Division IV rankings.
Head coach Jandy Drayer was pleased with her numbers as well as the attitude of her squad in practice number one.
"This is a real good group of girls and they are real easy to motivate," said the veteran head coach, whose team advanced all the way to the sweet sixteen last season before being eliminated by Newark Catholic. "They are pretty excited to get things going."
This year's team will have a few key positions to fill as Alyssa Miller, Laura Hill, Katie Semon, Jessie Reynolds, and Haley McCutcheon were all lost to graduation.
"We've got some spots to fill that are definitely going to be tough," said Drayer, whose team went undefeated in Tri-Valley Conference (16-0) play a season ago. "We have players that can step in, we are just going to have to be patient and let them step into their roles and figure it out."
Among the key returners from last year's team are seniors Taylor Hilverding and Maddy Sury as well as junior Dani Drayer who was a first team all-district pick in 2013.
"Those three are going to play a huge role in taking over leadership of this team," said Coach Drayer. "They will need to take these freshman and make them feel comfortable."
The Lady 'Cats have a little over three weeks to practice before things get going for real on the 28th of August when they host the Belpre Lady Golden Eagles to open both the regular and conference seasons.
"We've got a lot of good solid fundamental volleyball players, and we also have a very good crop of freshman coming in, so we are looking forward to this season."

D. TeBockhorst, C. Radman, A. Geiselman (Discovery Science Center), R. B. Culver (Colorado State University)
Science education in the rural areas of Northern Colorado has historically suffered from both a limited access to the science education facilities which are located along the base of the Northern Colorado Front Range as well as from the limited resources available within the school districts themselves. The ROSEO project seeks to address some of these issues through the initiation of an outreach effort to these rural areas and the subsequent establishment of an in-depth, rurally oriented test-bed teacher training program in astronomy and space science.
The central vehicle for the implementation of this program is the Science Discovery Center which was founded in 1989 in Fort Collins, Colorado and has since established itself as a high-quality resource for science education in the Northern Colorado region.
In this presentation we describe the use of a travelling portable Starlab as an outreach tool by which planetarium simulations of the night sky can be provided in a regular on-site daytime classroom environment to large numbers of students over extensive areas of Northern Colorado. Such a classroom experience can serve as the starting point for the discussion of a wide variety of topics in astronomy and space science. It is hoped that the information gained from these outreach efforts will ultimately lead to the development of an educational template which will be of considerable use to other rural areas in circumstances similiar to those found in Northern Colorado.
This work is funded by the Space Telescope Science Institute of the NASA-IDEAS grant program.

text: In an ideal environment (one that has no limiting factors) populations grow at an exponential rate. The growth curve of these populations is smooth and becomes increasingly steep over time (left). However, for all populations, exponential growth is curtailed by factors such as limitations in food, competition for other resources, or disease. As competition increases and resources become increasingly scarce, populations reach the carrying capacity (K) of their environment, causing their growth rate to slow nearly to zero. This produces an S-shaped curve of population growth known as the logistic curve (right).

Hippotherapy: Horses for Healing?
I just heard about a program that uses horses to help handicapped kids. What can you tell me about this type of therapy?
Answer (Published 2/28/2007)
You're referring to "hippotherapy," a term that means treatment with the help of a horse. It is designed for people who have problems with balance, posture, mobility and even psychological, behavioral and communication functions because of such disorders as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, stroke, autism, Alzheimer's disease, and even learning disabilities or language problems.

Hippotherapy is not merely recreation for the handicapped. It has specific therapeutic goals. Treatment takes advantage of a horse's natural rhythmic and repetitive movements to help improve patients' muscle tone, balance, posture, coordination, strength, flexibility and cognitive skills. In addition, the horse's movements can improve responses in patients that are needed for walking.
Physical and occupational health therapists who have special training also offer hippotherapy to their patients, and mental health professionals and their patients may work with certified riding instructors in equine facilitated psychotherapy. Here, the goal is to provide experiences that promote self-esteem, awareness of others, and better trust and social skills.
Although this form of therapy appears to be growing, I could only find 26 medical studies on the subject, suggesting that we have a lot to discover about its specific effects. To learn more about it, I suggest visiting Pet Partners' website (http://www.petpartners.org/). You'll also find useful information there about animal assisted therapy in general, a trend that appears to be accelerating.

34, petroleum engineer
Do you ever write notes in your books? I don't but my wife does. She's an avid note-writer. If I'm reading a book after her, I find it a nice bonus to see what she wrote. She'll highlight passages, too, and that's another bonus. It can give me insight into her. Say, for example, she read "The Sound and the Fury" for the first time when she was 21 and then read it again at 30. You can track her age through her notes. You can see where she was at various points. We've read some books over and over again. You can trace our history by them.
You enjoy re-reading books? I think I've read "The Sound and the Fury" four or five times. You have to read that book two times right in a row just to follow it. The structure is hard to identify the first time around; it seems amorphous. You just kind of muddle through the book. And then you read it again and again, and you appreciate the way he delineated the book, how things are well-connected. Everytime you read it, you find something you didn't see before and it's like wow, that's really good, I get it now.
It's almost like a puzzle and things start to fall into place. You get these epiphanies. You appreciate deeper and deeper levels of it.
It reminds me of engineering. When you do something the first time, you may appreciate it only at a certain level. But the more you study it, the more you grasp the complexity of the subject. It's rewarding.
Can you give me an example? If you want to learn the behavior of a gas, say, you can take a simple approach and talk about chemistry. Or you can take the approach of statistical mechanics and learn about the individual atoms and what they're doing. One method is very empirical. The other is very elevated, involving atoms and molecules and millions of different configurations. You prove the same law but you do it from a much loftier position, using calculus and probability. You get to the underlying complexity.
Do you frequently read a lot of books by the same author? I've read a lot of William Faulkner -- maybe 10 books. I've also read a lot of Dostoevski, Salman Rushdie, Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, Umberto Eco. Faulkner is partly what drew me to the South. I had a taste of it growing up in Texas, which is the outskirts of the Deep South. I think what appealed to me was the rich characters, the rich stories, the deep history.
Do you find that it enriches the experience of each book to have read the others? It's like a safe bet: You want to read another book by the same author because you know you'll get more of the same. Nowadays I only read about one book a month, so I have to be selective. If I get a good author, I'll try him again.

Are You A Woman Who Wants To Join The A-List?
While skimming this A-List: New York casting call I was distracted by what appears to be producers' scouting a new villain for the show, putting size queen Austin Armacost's future in jeopardy. But haven't all these fellas been re-signed for a second season? Or maybe the casting agents at Semisweet Productions are just looking for a secondary schemer? Either way, keep scrolling, because there's also a casting notice for a "diva," and not the Reichen kind. This one is a "young, fun, stylish, successful woman." And not even a drag queen. Applicants should have a history of "OWNING the social scene with your guys in tow." Ahem. Does this mean they're casting for a fabulous fag hag? Or are they looking for a gay woman, intent on perpetuating another myth: that gay men and lesbians actually hang out together.
Are you kidding me?! No women! How about more hot man candy instead?
@David: bahaha so true!
They need to quit calling this show "The A List." I've seen more A-List people at homeless shelters than on this show. It would be flattery to call these guys "C List."
I wonder who they had to fuck to get their useless asses on this dumb show?
LOGO has always had a problem with gay men – they hate us. The network ran several series featuring a sexy all lesbian cast but they have always thought that the networks mission was to show that gay men are not the center of the LGBT universe – unless of course you are trying to sell ads – they also are eager to have more straight women watch – kinda like if B.E.T. chose to white it up to gain white viewers – just gay men is not good enough – keep in mind on a good night the network viewers total fewer than 30K according to published reports – an all gay male road rules – nope – an all gay male house full of cute boys – nope – the Indigo Girls in concert YEAH BABY! Show it 500 times!
Damn, that Derek chick is gonna be crushed when she finds out they're replacing her.
I hang out with my lesbian friends all the time…
Wow, they're actually looking for somebody with a sucessful career….they're not going to have anything in common with the other cast members except for Mike Ruiz.
@Cam: Any woman with a successful career would be smart enough to steer clear of these wanna-be's! Plus she'd prob be too busy with real friends to hang out & drink cosmos until 3:00 a.m.!
I love the "are you one of the millions who couldn't get enough …" Talk about wishful thinking. Try hundreds.
queerty: "Or are they looking for a gay woman, intent on perpetuating another myth: that gay men and lesbians actually hang out together."
ALL my *gay* friends are lesbians (gay men are merely rivals or prey)
picture me as a colonel gaddafi (sans camp outfits) with my crack troop of female body guards who can:
kick ass.
operate a power tool.
take care of a cat in an emergency.
now, if only i could find all that in a man…
(oh, and, um, a 12 inch dick.)
jeez, now that's not asking too much is it?
no, thought not.

When producer Jade Raymond needed to cast a pivotal role in "Assassin's Universe," he says he had to find an actress with enormous emotional range. Considering "Assassin's Universe" is a video game, we'd say that's a step up from what is typically required to be enormous in the gaming world.
Kristen Bell, formerly the girl-detective of "Veronica Mars" and the new bad girl on "Heroes," got the "role."
"I was a big video gamer growing up, so working on 'Assassin's Creed' is my chance to be a part of video game history," she says. "It's something completely different than what I've done before, so it's cool I get to branch out and try another entertainment medium. I was attracted to this project because of the intelligent storyline and the character I play."
Oooo-kay, Kristen. Don't start shopping for your Oscar gown just yet.

10 memorable town hall moments with Governor Chris Christie
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 5:08 PM
Dec. 3, 2010, Parsippany
At his 15th town hall in Parsippany, Christie played bouncer. Keith Chaudruc, a Livingston elementary school teacher, unloaded a litany of complaints on adversaries went a few rounds before a frustrated Christie beckoned him to the stage: "You want to come up here? You come up here. Let's have a conversation." Face to face, pointed an index finger at Chaudruc and schooled him on the GOP. "You and I have different ideas of what being a Republican is all about because I'm not going to raise taxes." With that, a trooper escorted Chaudruc off the stage and out the door.

Kan Yo, the 2007 Liebherr Brazilian Open Men's Singles champion
Photo By: Marcio Rodrigues
2007 LIEBHERR Brazilian Open (Click here to access this section)
Japan's Kan Yo won his first ever title on the ITTF Pro Tour when he beat Singapore's Gao Ning in the final of the Men's Singles event at the Liebherr Brazilian Open in Belo Horizonte on Sunday 15th April 2007.It was a surprise victory. Gao Ning was the top seed whilst Kan Yo was seeded seven. Furthermore, on the one previous occasion they had met in a World Ranking event, success had gone the way of Gao Ning.
In the second round of the Men's Singles event at the Volkswagen Open Singapore in September 2006, Gao Ning had won in four straight games; in Belo Horizonte Kan Yo reversed that result. He won 11-8, 11-9, 11-7, 6-11Tense MomentsTense moments were the order of the day in the opening exchanges of the first game, at 8-all it was parity; neither player was able to assert their authority on proceedings. It was at that stage that Kan Yo won both points on the Gao Ning service; the latter making errors when trying to follow the service with a backhand topspinA point to win the opening game, the best rally of the contest to date ensued with forehand topspin rallies thrilling the crowd, the point eventually went to Kan Yo who, by the margin of 11-8, had the opening game in his grasp.Same SituationThe second game very much followed the pattern of the first with two players level at 8-all. Serving an attacking powerfully after the service, Kan Yo won the next point but then lost the next when he served into the net.The two players level at 9-all it appeared the advantage had swung in favour of Gao Ning, he was serving. However, both points went to Kan Yo; on the first a Gao Ning forehand missed the end of the table whilst on the point that ended the game a Gao Ning forehand topspin finished in the base of the net. Kan Yo was two games to nil ahead.No ChangeShort rallies, neither player able to assert themselves had been the scenario in the early stages of first two games. It was the same in the third, both served short continually, both attacked with venom after the service until the scores reached 6-all, the stage at which Kan Yo won four points in a row.Gao Ning saved the first game point but he saved no more. Kan Yo won the third game 11-7.Fourth GameIn the fourth game, as in all the previous games there was little to choose between the two players but from 5-all, Gao Ning took control. He consistently attacked the backhand of Kan Yo, the Japanese player made errors, Gao Ning won the fourth game 11-6 and there was a glimmer of hope.Fourth GameIn the fifth game Kan Yo tried to attack with his forehand whenever possible, directing the attacks into the backhand of Gao Ning. He went ahead6-4 with both his services to follow.The two point lead prompted Gao Ning to call `Time Out'. However, the next two points went to Kan Yo as Gao Ning played passively, making mistakes blocking. Kan Yo was now in positive mood, he established a 10-5 lead, Gao Ning saved the first match point but when a backhand topspin from the Singaporean flew wide, the game was over.Kan Yo was the champion. He had won his first ITTF Pro Tour title, he was the 2007 Liebherr Brazilian Open Men's Singles champion.

Our family lost one of our good buddies this last week.
Joey's first dog Jake, a yellow lab, passed away Monday.
Jake was the most awesome 14-year-old dog I have ever known.
He really was.
I once told Steve, "If people were more like Jake, the world would be a much better place."
He was always, always happy.
Even these last several years, when arthritis slowed him down tremendously, he never failed to waddle over to us; his tail wagging a mile a minute. Must be arthritis doesn't affect a dog's tail. I am going to miss feeling it thump against my leg.
On his good days he even did a half-inch jump to greet us. Steve called is Jake's Wheelie.
Jake was a constant companion to our two boys - for as long as he could be anyway. I always knew that wherever the dog was, that's were Joey and Russell would be found. He didn't care if it was in a mud hole or racing down the road, he went wherever those two boys went.
Jake didn't mind being in the house - even though he was an all-outside dog - as long as he could be by whomever was gathering. Occasionally, in the summer, he would sneak down into the basement to catch a nap on the cool cement floor.
Of late, it was a chore to get him back out of the basement. Blame it on the arthritis again. If I was home alone, and he was downstairs, I would have to hold his back end up in the air, and he would climb the stairs using his front legs. I was literally bringing up the rear.
For the last several years, Jake didn't do much of anything except sleep on his couch in the garage. Joey explained how Jake even got lazy while in the woods with him. Apparently, Jake lay down on the ground and waited for the rabbits to come to him.
Jake was a constant companion in the milking parlor. He loved to lick up milk that came out of the pipeline at the end of milking.
My favorite memory is of his silent bark. He was so old, he would get one good bark out and the remaining five or six had the motions, but no sound. That was always good for a chuckle. Or how he would just stick his head out the doggy door, bark once, keep going with the silent bark; all the while the door flap would be bouncing off his head.
We found him lying in the snow on his final morning. He had fallen under the lilac bushes and was unable to get up. I was actually kind of mad at him because his incessant barking was robbing me of precious sleep.
Steve found Jake at 4 a.m., lifted him to his feet and Jake fell over. Knowing it would be impossible for him to make it to the garage, Steve carried him.
We knew it was time to say goodbye to one of our best friends.
We spent quite a bit of time with him before the vet came to help us. We showered Jake with affection. He told him we loved him dearly. I don't know if he understood, he was in so much pain he whimpered when we touched him.
Joey and I were with Jake when he left us - it was a peaceful thing. He was so relaxed and Joey and I cried openly.
Joey buried Jake next to his cow Haf. To comfort Jake and himself, Joey placed Jake in the grave on his dog bed and with a huge cow bone lying next to him.
I bet Jake is even happier then he ever was while he roamed our farm.
We're not. Not yet anyway.

Mikey: So here we are. After so many long years, One Piece has finally seen it's first real time death. Some people may say that we have seen death in real time but really this is the first real time death of a character that we knew. A character where the overall objective was to save him and along the way we saw some development via flashbacks and appearances.
Kind of hard to put what I want to say in words. This was an amazing episode that had an ending that left me speechless. Just like the last few minutes where there was no music playing to create silence, so was everybody else who were watching this episode.
To join me in this post I have Neku and Sora. Say hi guys.
Superneku: Hi everyone.
Sora: 'Sup.
Mikey: Also I guess the opening image for this post is a bit strange but I wanted to use the same scene that was used for the manga post which was done almost a year ago. Still for now sit down as we try to go over the events of this episode.
Whitebeard pirates retaliate against Akainu for defeating Ace.
Ace and Luffy share their last conversation and in the end Ace dies.
Aokiji who looks as if he disapprove over what Akainu did. I guess this is another thing to show us how different each admiral is. On one hand you have Kizaru who likes to 'play with his food' while you have Aokiji who is calm and collective and is respectful then you have Akainu...and this episode itself is a perfect example as in what kind of person Akainu is.
We can only wonder what is going though the minds of the people at Sabaody. Maybe some of them are happy and maybe some of them are sadden. It seems like a lot of them are shocked. Most likely they saw first hand when Akainu put his hand though Ace's chest and then slowly pulled it out. It is clear they they are wondering how far this war will be going.
Then we have the look of shock on Luffy's face. He looks terrified as Ace literally has a flaming hole in his chest that he isn't recovering from. Not everyday you get to see a lava fist in the chest of your brother. Still we get to that later.
Also the Whitebeard Pirates are not liking Akainu too much. Apparently the guy with the rocket launcher looking staff thing.
Akainu is a scary guy. His devil fruit power doesn't help in making him look any less scary.
Random Thought: I wonder what Marco did when it came to fighting before he got his Phoenix Devil Fruit power.
Then Garp really going out there to put his job on the line. He looks as if he is ready to tear Akainu's head off or at least try. If it wasn't for Sengoku then who knows what Garp would have done but surely old man Garp doesn't like the idea that his grandsons are in danger. It is nice to know that when the chips are on the table that Garp truly value his family over this job. We saw this a few episodes back when he let Luffy beat him and once again now.
"You promised that you'd never die..."That line really made me want to cry and maybe I did. I felt tears forming in my eyes as Luffy said that and it touched me. It is like everything just hit me as you have Ace and Luffy put their life on the line for each other. Ace literally just now sacrifice his life just to save his little brother's life. Then this promise is just icing on the cake as you realize that Luffy literally believed the promise that Ace made him. That Ace wasn't going to die and that he brother was never going to leave him. The trust and dedication to each other.
This here is the ultimate form of brotherly love. The bond that these two boys have for each other is something that literally rivals brothers that are blood related. It is really touching to see something like this even though Ace and Luffy are not blood related yet they are this close. It really warms my heart since as a bigger brother I feel like this is how my relationship with my own little brother should be. Willing to protect and help my little brother though the hard times, support him during his endeavors, enjoy the happy times and even the annoying times.
Superneku: I felt very emotional while watching this episode, despite the fact that since I myself had already read the manga chapter based off of this episode. I knew that I would feel sad and I did, but here are my thoughts on this event since I never shared them initially. When I first saw Akainu's fist go through Ace, I was in denial. After all, Ace is a main character and through every "rescue arc" before this, the victim has always managed to get rescued with no major problems while escaping to safety. But this time was different, this time the rescue mission is a complete failure and will cause a lot of events to happen not only to everyone in the war, but perhaps even the whole world. But my other reason is I thought that he got punched through the stomach at first, but at closer inspection as well as the fact that everyone around him is shocked proved me wrong. But even then, it didn't take until Ace was being clutched by Luffy that I realized he was about to die. I almost teared up but when Ace makes his final thanks of being loved thats when I realized that the character is even awesomer than usual and I salute him, even when he eventually died with a smile.
Mikey: It is really hard to believe that Ace has died. At first I couldn't believe it and when I first saw this a year ago I was in shocked. I had to check to make sure that he actually died but when I saw the vivrecard burn up into nothing then that was when I knew for sure that Ace had died. After so many years of being part of this adventure. We witness the death of the main character's brother. So many things must be going though Luffy's mind as we registrar the death of Ace.
So many things for a person to feel for but one that really got me was Ace's last words to Luffy:
"...my desire to see you fulfill your dream. But I am sure you can do it! Because your my brother!"This moment was asking for tears. In the end it Ace was was still supporting his little brother in his dream. In the past he stated that he was going to make Whitebeard the King of the Pirates but here he shows his believe in Luffy's dream. He does what any big brother does and shows his support of his little brother's dream. It is a crazy dream to have but Ace really does believe that Luffy will become Pirate King. Ace's sole reason to believe this? Because he is his little brother. That is the only reason he needs and that is really touching. In the end Ace really does believe in Luffy to fulfill his dream. Then he dies with a smile. A big brother to the very end.
This...well, this is almost as bad as having one of his own crew members killed. Of course, since Ace isn't a total main character and all it isn't as huge as someone like Nami or Chopper dying (horrible thoughts yes, but Zoro, Sanji, even Usopp would die if they were achieving their dream or protecting someone. They are just strong enough to be considered 'possibilities'), and he wasn't previously touched upon as much, the impact of his passing shouldn't be such a huge hit as it stands right now.
Because of how close the two brothers were revealed to be, Ace is going to be a huge impact in Luffy's up-and-coming development, his attitude, and especially his determination. This is where the 'Official Rules of One Piece', stating 'a main character can never die' are broken into little pieces, burnt, the scarred remains frozen, then thawed and let sit in a blazing desert for three months, then run over by a steamroller and electrocuted by a thunderbolt by the great God Eneru.
The game has changed. It is no longer a fun, free, 'pirate adventure'. Now it is a struggle to remain on top and to make sure that the people you love do not die. Only the strong survive now, you literally have to grow up now. No more fairy tales about determination and hope. (Luckily, Luffy actually has this power, he just needs to grow and refine it!)
"You had better hold me back Sengoku, because if you are not there I will Kill Sakazuki!"This was AMAZING. In any case, this could be one of the highlights of the episode for me. Actually, there was not one moment of this episode I really have to comment negatively upon, even Buggy or Mr. San's roles. Buggy actually got live footage of some of the fire and carnage at the battle (still live and running as we speak), and Mr. San has proved a very useful commodity to the Whitebeard pirates. Each detail was refined to superb quality, and the presentation of this most infamous chapter was gorgeous. I know for a fact that this will surely become just as well remembered (if not surpassing) as the burial of the Merry Go. The end of the "Eternal Flame".
Ace died...smiling.
Mikey: Now lets take a look at some of the responses to this episode from people on Twitter.
KevinDGrussing said:
"Definitiely one 4 the Anime Hall 'o Fame. And there was probably a lotta eyes that teared up on both sides of the Pacific."That is true. I know my eyes were tearing up at least twice during this episode. It is hard to take in but something like this can hit the hearts on both sides of the ocean.
StrawHatPirate9 said:
"Beautifully done had me crying the entire ep & for quite a while after it. The ch was great & the ep only made it better."That is so true. The episode was beautifully done and this episode the the chapter justice if not executed the death of Ace better.
DragonPiece said:
"Since the start of The Whitebeard war in July, I knew we were in for a emotional ride, as it the thrills kept going higher until the climax that was Ace's death. Things can only get worse from the point forward."Ace's death does seems to be the climax of this arc. This whole arc has only been building up to this moment with the conflicted Garp to all the mini-flashbacks of Ace's life. This moment on we can only guess that things are going to go down a slippery slope downward.
It seems like the thoughts of the people from Twitter all agree that this episode was great. This episode pulled at the heartstrings and just really made you feel for what was going on the screen. Now we can only wait to see how Funimation will handle this. Hopefully they will do this moment with as much justice as they can just like they have done so far.
I couldn't come up with anything when the ending screen appeared and my mind was blank. It finally happen and at the end of the episode Ace was dead. Laying before Luffy was Ace's dead body with a smile on his face. Now we just sit here and wait till the next episode to see how everything else will play out.
Next Episode: Marine Headquarters Crumbles! Whitebeard's Silent Rage!
Stay tune because things can only get worse from here on out.

By PETER PRIOLO
Mr. Arnold Klein seems to believe that the Constitution is a "living document" and cites the "Necessary and Proper" Clause as a reason for government to "assume more and more power."
The "Necessary and Proper" Clause enables the federal government to execute "The foregoing powers," meaning only the enumerated powers that have been clearly established by the Constitution for a limited federal government.
Our Founding Fathers clearly put a process to change the Constitution into the document in case we needed to amend it. The process is there so that the people, through their state governments, have the power to vote on the proposed amendments. I don't understand why some people who like the idea of the Constitution as a "living document" want to give up this power and let the federal government expand dangerously without their say.
"We The People" have to always be vigilant to keep our say in our federal government in order to keep it representative. Otherwise, we will let the few in power assume more and more control without our say until we as the people in this country totally lose this important power and our representative government forever.

Nevin Mindlin, the one-time independent candidate for Harrisburg mayor, is a candidate no more. He has been knocked off the November ballot by court rulings based on the mindlessly literal application of a nonsensical state law. With little time for an appeal to the state Supreme Court, he has decided against waging a write-in campaign.
Though Mindlin was an independent candidate, not affiliated with any party or organization, state law requires him to name a committee that would replace him should he leave the race. That requirement makes sense for a political party, but it makes no sense for an independent candidate. By definition, an independent candidate is independent of organizational structures that would be entitled to claim an independent's slot on the ballot.
Knowing all that, Mindlin did not name that committee. The Dauphin County elections office accepted his petition, without any warning that his petition had any fatal defect.
None of that mattered to the lower court that knocked him off the ballot earlier this summer. And it didn't matter to Commonwealth Court, which last Friday upheld the dubious ruling.
Commonwealth Court used a legal technicality to dodge the heart of Mindlin's case. He said that the state law in question violates a right enshrined in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — freedom of association. In this case, the law forces Mindlin to associate with a "committee" empowered to choose some undetermined future candidate who could replace him, when the whole point of his candidacy is that he is independent of backroom-type arrangements like that.
The court's hostility to Mindlin's arguments also contradicts a well-established principle set by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in election cases. Courts in the commonwealth, when applying the election code, are supposed to construe the requirements liberally, "so as not to deprive an individual of his right to run for office, or voters of their right to elect a candidate of their choice."
Again, the Commonwealth Court used a technicality to completely ignore those claims under the state Constitution.
Mindlin's campaign is the latest casualty of ballot bounty hunters, ordinary citizens who mysteriously come forward, armed with expensive lawyers, to press a legal challenge to a candidate's filing papers.
Hired guns parse signatures for the slimmest possible rationale to disqualify them: using a first initial instead of full name, women whose maiden name and married name are different, imperfect handwriting, stray marks in the signature block.
Even if the candidate survives the challenge, (as third-party Allegheny County council candidate Jim Barr did earlier this summer), he or she has to expend precious time and money fighting in court.
These often-shadowy court challenges to candidates' paperwork have a corrosive effect on public confidence in the integrity of the election system.
In a comment on PennLive, one reader said Mindlin "must have stepped on the wrong toes." Another announced, "I won't be voting for anybody; the best candidate just got bounced."
Many have wondered who paid the legal bills for challenging Mindlin. But without any public disclosure requirements, the mystery money can remain secret.
All in all, Mindlin's case is an example of the sleazy, insider political game-playing that fuels public disillusionment with elected officials and government.
Pennsylvania's legislature could rewrite election law to strike the nonsensical provision that kept Mindlin off the ballot. The legislature could require those filing challenges against candidates to identify how they are paying for all that expensive legal work. The Legislature could lower the unreasonably high barriers now imposed on third parties seeking to get on the state's ballot.
But as with so many dysfunctional aspects of Pennsylvania's laws affecting politicians, those who get to make the rules are content with the status quo. After all, they got there by playing by the rules as they are – why would legislators want to change them?
From their selfish perspective, it makes political sense. But from the perspective of the citizen whom elected officials are supposed to serve, allowing ballot bounty hunters so much room to squelch candidates is nonsense.

Update - State Supreme Court Justice John Brunetti declared a mistrial in Nakeem Archie's murder trial this afternoon after the jurors again indicated they could not reach a unanimous verdict.
The jury sent out a note before lunch indicated they were deadlocked. But Brunetti asked them to set aside the case, have lunch and see where they stood then. After lunch, the jury again indicated it could not agree on a verdict so the judge declared the mistrial.
The lawyers will be back in court in several weeks to discuss scheduling a new trial.
Syracuse, NY - A state Supreme Court jury today was continuing deliberations in the case of a Syracuse man accused of fatally shooting a city woman and injuring a second victim in an October 2007 shooting.
Nakeem Archie, 19, is accused of murdering Yashmik Stackhouse, 27, and injuring her 42-year-old aunt, Yvette Reese, by opening fire with a handgun as the women were walking on Radisson Court near Taylor Street on their way to a store Oct. 18, 2007.
Identification has been a critical issue in the case as authorities initially charged someone else in the shooting. Jaycee Floyd Jr., 20, had originally been indicted on murder and attempted murder charges but the District Attorney Office dropped those charges in December when Archie was indicted.
Defense lawyer Patricia Campbell made repeated references to Floyd having initially been charged in her defense of Archie at trial during witnesses' testimony last week.
The jury of seven women and five men has been deliberating the case since Monday afternoon.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the jurors reported to Justice John Brunetti that they were unable to reach a verdict on the charges stemming from the fatal shooting.
But the panel reported they had reached a verdict on weapons charges in two other cases that were tried along with the murder case. The judge agreed to take that partial verdict and the jujry found Archie "not guilty" of one weapons charge for an incident that occurred before the homicide and "guilty" of a weapons charge for an incident after the homicide, Campbell said.
The judge then sent the jurors back out to continue deliberations in the homicide case.
Brunetti called the jurors into court briefly this morning to provide additional instructions on how they should have "robust" conversations but maintain civility in the jury room after one of the jurors told a court officer she had felt intimidated.
