Maintaining good oral hygiene is the key for enhanced gum and dental health. Tooth erosion is characterised by decay of the outer and inner parts of the teeth. It occurs when certain sugar containing foods such as milk, candy and cakes leave behind residual quantities, thus causing small food particles to get stuck to and remain in the teeth. These are then digested by the bacteria in the mouth and converted to acids. The acids in combination with saliva form a layer called plaque that causes tooth erosion.
To prevent tooth erosion, you can employ these simple methods:
- Regular flossing: Flossing is an often neglected aspect of dental hygiene. Flossing helps in removing food residues stuck between the teeth that your toothbrush cannot clean. Use proper technique while flossing as improper technique can damage your gums.
- Brushing twice a day: You should brush at least twice a day with toothpaste that contains fluoride. If possible, brush regularly after eating a meal.
- Eat well balanced meals: Eat well balanced meals for your gums to receive proper nourishment. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet as they are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. These antioxidants and vitamins help maintain overall gum and dental health.
- Fluoridated water: Drink fluoridated water, as it helps in preventing tooth erosion.
- Use Mouthwash regularly: Use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep your mouth bacteria free. Bacteria in your mouth can lead to rapid tooth erosion.
- Rinse your mouth: Rinse your mouth with water after every meal. Rinsing helps in removing food particles from your mouth that may contribute to tooth erosion.
- Avoid junk food: Avoid snacking on junk foods as they contain hidden sugars that can increase your risks of tooth erosion. Avoid sugar based drinks as they can harm your teeth and cause cavities.
- Dental sealants: A sealant is a coating that is applied on the tooth to prevent it from getting affected by plaque. They usually last for 8-10 years after which they need to be replaced.
- Visit the dentist regularly: Visit the dentist on a regular basis for check-ups as any underlying issue that can create potential problems in the future may need to be resolved.
Mouthwashes have become a fad nowadays – some simply rinse their mouth with a mouthwash instead of brushing their teeth, the reason being lack of time. While mouthwashes are effective up to a certain extent, the question is can they replace your brush and tooth paste?
Why is Mouthwash Used?
Mouth washes are used for multiple reasons; to prevent tooth decay, freshen your breath and to minimize plaque. It is also known to reduce gingivitis (gum disease) and plaque that harden on your teeth.
In order to understand the efficacy of mouth wash better, you need to know about the ingredients it is made up of. The basic ingredients are cleansing agents, water, alcohol and flavor causing substances. Certain active ingredients are also added to mouth wash which usually vary from product to product. Some of them are:
Fluoride which prevents decay of the tooth by making it more resistant.
Antimicrobials which reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth that lead to plaque formation in the teeth.
Salts, that have astringent properties, act as deodorizers to prevent bad breath.
Substances that reduce bad breath causing compounds.
Advantages of using a Mouthwash are:
Helps in preventing gum disease: Inflammation of the gums and teeth can occur when plaque causing bacteria are present on the teeth. Mouthwashes that contain antibacterial agents help in reducing these bacteria.
Reduces cavity: Mouthwashes that contain fluoride help in reducing cavities that affect your teeth. Cavities are holes in your teeth which form when bacteria in the teeth cause plaque.
Provides relief from canker sores: Mouth wash provides relief from canker sores by reducing the amount of bacteria present on the affected area.
Prevents pregnancy complications: Certain gum diseases release harmful bacteria in the bloodstream that can stimulate early contractions. Using mouth washes provides safeguard against these bacteria, thus, in turn, protecting your baby.
Disadvantages of a Mouthwash:
May irritate canker sores: Mouthwashes which contain alcohol in high concentrations can irritate canker sores in the mouth.
A risk factor for oral cancer: Certain mouthwashes may contain ingredients which increase the risks of oral cancer. It is therefore important for you to check the ingredients before using it.
The Verdict:
Given that the benefits outweigh the cons, using mouthwash is good for you. You should not substitute brushing or flossing with using a mouthwash, though. Rather, it should complement them. If the mouth wash contains alcohol in decent amounts, then you are good to go.
Canker sore is a kind of mouth ulcer or an open and painful sore. It is the most common and prominent type of mouth ulcer, which usually affect lips, inner cheeks or tongue. This a yellow or white spot surrounded by reddish sore. Canker sore can be either complex or simple. The common type of canker sore affects people between 10 to 20. Generally, canker sore develops in people who were previously attacked by it.
The symptoms of canker sores may include:
1. Large sores
2. An outbreak in sores
3. Excruciating pain
4. High fever
5. Diarrhoea
6. Rash
7. Headache
There can be many risk factors for canker sores. It may develop into a severe oral ulcer. Canker sores can also be triggered genetically. There are various causes of canker sores, which may include:
1. Viral infection
2. Stress
3. Hormonal fluctuations
4. Food allergy
5. Menstrual cycle
6. Mineral or vitamin deficiency
7. Immunity system problem
8. Mouth injury
Canker sores can cause difficulties in swallowing and chewing. Most of the canker sores need no treatment; they can heal on their own. There are many ways by which you can prevent canker sores, those may include:
1. Avoid some food items which can cause irritation in your mouth
2. Avoiding citrus foods like - lemon, orange, acidic vegetables and spicy fried foods
3. Avoiding problems through gum chewing
4. Brushing in a slow manner with soft-bristle tooth-brush
5. Brushing at least two times a day, especially after heavy meals
6. Drinking a lot of fluid
However, a canker sore heals on its own, without any treatment. Taking care of your oral health on a regular basis would rescue you from having canker sores. If you keep your mouth clean it would help you fight bacteria. Sometimes pain can become severe, and you might need some medications to cure your canker sores.
There are some ways through which you can treat your canker sore.
1. Antimicrobial mouth wash
2. Antibiotic medicines
3. Corticosteroid ointment
4. Prescribed mouthwash
5. You can gargle with salt and warm water
6. Orabase can also be used to create numbness
Sometimes canker sores can pop up for stress. If stress is the reason for your canker sore then some stress reduction methods like meditation, deep breathing and calming technique will help.

Using tooth picks
The worst habit you could possibly have when you have food lodgement in the mouth is using a tooth pick to get rid of it. We often try and use this as an acceptable habit even socially but few things are grosser than watching people pick out food bits after meals. If you have a cavity get it fixed. We have numerous cases where the toothpicks have either injured the gums and caused a larger infection or even worse broken in the cavity and triggered of even more pain. So stay safe from dental emergencies do not use tooth picks! while it's important to prevent food lodgement in the mouth and keep your mouth clean use things like brushes interdental brushes and floss sticks or dentists to help you do the same without harming you!
Using a hard or medium brush.
The oldest myth we have seen is brushing your teeth with a hard or medium brush. Please terminate this habit right away ensure you switch to a soft brush at the earliest.
We do not need more teeth ruined or worn off due to overzealous brushing. We see cases with the entire left side worn down and sensitive and I can tell the person is a right handed vigorous brusher. The softer the brush the better it bends and cleans between teeth as well. The gums also recede due to repeated trauma from the hard bristles so save your mouth from these constant attacks in the name of cleaning.
Scrubbing your teeth
The same principle applies when you switch from a hard to soft or extra soft brush don't apply so much pressure that the teeth and gums are still braving the injury.
You need to brush gently as though cleaning glass the force being minimum the reach and coverage being maximum!
So scrubbing is a habit we need to stop.
Not brushing at night
One of the best things we can do to avoid the dentist or any dental troubles is brushing at night. When it comes to cleaning your teeth frequency matters more than force. Ensuring you clean every 12 hours makes bacterial attacks that cause decay inactive so whenever we skip brushing at night we may not realise but it's definitely costing us.
Popping painkillers
The first sign of dental pain and we instinctively choose to ignore it hoping it will go away and if it doesn't we want to go ahead and pop a painkiller till it does. Masking the problem will actually make it bigger -while we all know this we prefer to accept the instant relief the medication provides over the tedious dental visit that may end with bad news. But imagine if we had gone at the very first sign of trouble most likely we would get away with a dental cleaning -the later we go the more often we need to go for extensive treatments.
Let's try and muster the courage to nip these problems in the bud -a habit to develop show up at the very first sign of trouble.
Do it yourself dentistry (diy) at home
We have all been our own dentists at some point!
From self medication to oral applications and home remedies when all else fails we make an appointment.
A few things are harmful and should be used with care when attempting our own dental care.
We recommend mild things like oral rinses or applications which relieve pain but do not use aspirin or any other pain killer to crush and put in the site, that can cause burns.
Also clove oil is a safe remedy but not cloves which can be sharp and hurt your cheek.
Do not try to remove shaking teeth or attempt any procedures the bleeding can be profuse and the damage severe.
In case of trauma ice to freeze the blows and water to clean the wound will work best.
In the age of technology and information let's not fall prey to easily avoidable dental habits that harm you more than they help you.
Write to us or call us at 9209200024 if you have any queries.

SPRINGFIELD Governor Rod Blagojevich today
announced that, as a result of new partnership between
the Illinois State Board of Education and the Illinois
Department of Human Services, thousands of additional
Illinois children will now have access to healthy meals
and snacks. The state is expanding the Child and Adult
Care Food Program to allow 19,000 family childcare home
providers in Illinois to receive reimbursement for the
cost of providing healthy meals and snacks to an additional
40,000 young children.
This is an example of the new State Board working
cooperatively with another state agency to do the right
thing, said Gov. Rod Blagojevich. By working
together and using common sense, we found a way to feed
more children.
Previously, only providers licensed through the Illinois
Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) received
reimbursement to feed children in their care. License-exempt,
family day care home providers were denied access to the
program and had to pay for childrens food out of
their own pockets.
Through the new partnership, the Department of Human
Services (DHS), which oversees the Child Care Assistance
Program (CCAP) that supplies child care subsidies for
low income families in Illinois, will notify the State
Board of Education of all license-exempt providers serving
children enrolled in the CCAP. Those providers will have
access to meal reimbursement and other benefits, including
meal planning and nutrition guidelines.
We are always looking for ways to improve quality,
especially for the license-exempt providers who are not
part of any system, said DHS Secretary Carol L.
Adams, Ph.D. Were happy to partner with the
State Board of Education to ensure that children start
off right with healthy meals and good nutrition.
Whats important here is that kids are getting
healthy meals. This is an example of what we can accomplish
when we partner to do the right thing for children. I
commend the staff at the State Board and DHS who worked
on this effort, said Interim State Superintendent
Randy Dunn. They saw an innovative way to work with
another agency and help kids. Thats what the new
State Board is all about.
Child Nutrition Programs are federally funded and administered
by the Illinois State Board of Education. The expansion
will come at no cost to the state. For information, child
care providers can go to www.isbe.net/nutrition/htmls/child_adult.htm
or call the State Boards Nutrition Programs and
Support Services at 800-545-7892.
"On behalf of thousands of license-exempt home childcare
providers, we thank Governor Blagojevich, the Illinois
State Board of Education and DHS for making this expansion
possible. Hundreds of providers, parents and advocates
made our voices heard this summer in support, and we're
happy to see the expansion moving forward," said
Lula Bronson, license-exempt childcare provider and Vice
President of the Service Employees International Union,
Local 880. "This is an important step in ensuring
quality childcare for all working families in Illinois."
For information on the DHS Child Care Assistance Program,
providers should contact the Illinois Network of Child
Care Resource and Referral Agencies at 877-202-4453 or
visit the DHS web site at www.dhs.state.il.us.

Today I felt some pain in one of my breasts. It is a kind of stabbing pain and very localized to one part of the breast. It comes and goes, always in the same spot, always between feedings. It was a little bit painful to latch but once baby latched it was not painful to nurse.
Could this be thrush? I don't have any other signs/symptoms and neither does baby. It doesn't feel like a clogged duct either. If not thrush, what else could it be?
I know it's all speculation but I was hoping this description would ring a bell with some of you.

Environmental Microbiology
Los Alamos working to identify genetic regulatory systems in single microorganisms.
Examining the soil beneath our feet
Learning about microorganisms—bacteria, algae, and fungi—is essential to understanding how living things interact with their environments. Exploration of environmental microbiology at Los Alamos crosses broad scales of investigation that span from identification of genetic regulatory systems in single microorganisms to comprehensive studies of the complex microbial communities resident in soil, water and air.
The long term goals of this research are to understand microbial processes and interactions, and the genomic traits underlying these activities, toward:
- Improving our ability to detect emerging pathogens in the environment and natural reservoirs
- Understanding the cellular processes of individual microbes and complex mixed microbial communities toward understanding what regulates their individual or collective activities
- Manipulating microorganisms and environmental microbial communities to produce useful products and better manage Earth's natural resources.
Our investigations couple a variety of molecular approaches in a systems biology format:
- DNA- and RNA-based
- 'omics including targeted and shotgun metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, proteomics
- microbial biochemistry and physiology
Environmental studies are tightly coupled with activity and geochemical measures, model development and statistics.
Single organism studies focus on bacteria, algae and fungi that are relevant to environmental processes in nutrient cycling, climate change response, contaminant fate and transport, as well as biofuels and antibiotic development.
Complex community studies span multiple applications from determining natural environmental reservoirs for pathogens and closely related species, to understanding the interactive roles and contributions of diverse soil bacterial and fungal communities in nutrient cycling, and climate change.

Price: $ 112.00 USD
Santa Claus holding a small snowglobeNutcracker by Christian Ulbricht Christian Ulbricht.
Large deposits of silver not only gave the mountain range its name, but also supplied generations of mountain folk with their daily bread. All Ulbricht ancestors were miners - but when the ore supplies started to dwindle those living and working there had to come up with new sources of income. And so the one-time miners first turned their hand to carving and wood turning and then to running businesses. In 1928 the time had finally come - Christian Ulbricht's father founded the companyImage "Otto Ulbricht-Werkstätten für feine Holzarbeiten und Spielwaren" (which translated would be the "Otto Ulbricht workshops for fine woodcraft and toys") in Seiffen. He used his entrepreneurial skill to blend innovative and traditional elements into something unique and the reward for this was a gold medal at the 1936 Great Exhibition in Paris for his designs of nursery clocks and a group of travelling singers (Kurrende choir). The Second World War and the ensuing dispossession by the communist powers-that-be in East Germany brought an end to the Seiffen-based company. Otto Ulbricht had to flee to the west with his family. He soon set up the company again in Lauingen at the Danube which has been run by his son Christian Ulbricht since 1968. After the reunification of Germany, Christian Ulbricht was able to buy back his father's company in Seiffen, so that wood could be crafted attention to detail in his old and his new home.

Today the day to 'button up'STAFF REPORT | October 05,2013MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin has declared today "Button Up" day in Vermont.
It's meant to help Vermonters take actions that will lower their energy bills this winter and reduce their contribution to climate change, according to a news release.
Modeled after Vermont's successful Green Up Day, this event will be the first grass-roots day of action on weatherization in Vermont. The day, which is being spearheaded by the Vermont Energy and Climate Action Network, is aimed at mobilizing as many volunteers as possible throughout the state to take steps — large and small — to help Vermonters stop wasting energy and become more energy independent.
"Every year, many Vermont homeowners waste hard-earned dollars because their homes are inefficient and leaky," said network coordinator Johanna Miller in the release.
"Button Up Vermont Day of Action is intended to be a fun, collaborative, community-driven effort to arm more people with the information, incentives and path they need to stop wasting energy and start saving money."
More than 30 communities have signed up to participate, including Barre, Montpelier and Randolph.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

Q. Ever since I was a child, my mother, teachers, doctor and dentist have told me that chocolate was a junk food. Now you're saying it's healthy. Who am I to believe?
A. They were right that eating a lot of high sugar/high fat chocolate candy bars is not healthy. Coco Complete, however, is not a candy bar. In fact, there is a significant body of scientific research showing that cocoa can support energy, healthy blood flow, heart health and a healthy immune system. It gives you the delicious taste you crave along with all of the health promoting benefits of cocoa.*
Q. Doesn't all cocoa come from the same source?
A. Yes, but that's where the similarity ends. Chocolate bars, chocolate candies, chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup are made with fats, sugars and preservatives.
Q. What makes Coco Complete different?
A. Coco Complete has concentrated cocoa, not chocolate. It has an ORAC value of 5,250 per 7.4 grams - which is higher in antioxidant protection than almost every fruit and vegetable in the American diet.*
Q. What exactly does ORAC mean?
A. ORAC, a standardized test adopted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. The higher the ORAC value, the greater the antioxidant power.
Q. What do antioxidants do?
A. Just as oxidation causes destructive rust on a car, oxidation also damages our cells. Without antioxidants to fortify the immune system and fight off cell damaging free radicals, the body is at risk.*
Q. Coco Complete has resveratrol. What is it?
A. Resveratrol is one of the antioxidants in grapes that is believed to help support cardiovascular health.*
Q. Doesn't red wine contain resveratrol?
A. It does, but the resveratrol in Coco Complete can give you the cardio-support benefits without the potentially harmful side effects of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol.*
Q. I drink a lot of green tea. Does that mean I have to drink a lot of Coco Complete to get the same health benefits?
A. Not really. The green tea in Coco Complete is concentrated, so you're getting the polyphenol antioxidant equivalent of up to 3 traditional cups (5 ounces each) of green tea with each serving of Coco Complete.*
Q. Is there any documentation for all the protective health benefits I've read about on this website?
A. Studies detailing the health-giving benefits of cocoa, resveratrol and green tea have been conducted at some of the most well-known universities and medical centers around the world including Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Children's Hospital & Research Center, Pace University, University of Rochester Medical Center and Yale/New Haven Hospital.* In addition, you can surf the internet and look up the ingredients in Coco Complete for yourself.
Q. Has this documentation ever been published?
A. There have been numerous studies published in such prestigious publications as the Journal of the American Medical Association, American Journal of Physiology, Heart and Circulatory Physiology as well as other peer-reviewed, medical journals. Go to PubMed.gov and search the published scientific literature to learn about the research conducted on these ingredients.*
Q. Coco Complete sounds great. How do I know if it will live up to my expectations?
A. Every product we sell is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. You may use any New Vitality product for a full 30-days risk free and if you are not satisfied for any reasons, return the bottle and you'll receive a prompt and complete refund, less the price of shipping and handling. No questions asked, no explanation required. Your complete satisfaction is guaranteed.
I love this stuff- it makes so many things taste good. Greek yogurt, for example. Not a fan. But I know it's good for me. Add some coco complete, suddenly I can't wait to have my yogurt every night! I also add it to my protein shakes. I use this EVERY DAY!
I'm a vegan and mix Coco Complete into Almond Milk. It make a nice cold chocolate drink.
I was taking Cocoa Complete after bypass surgery a couple of years ago. At that time, I needed energy to help me in my rehabilitation from that surgery. if it wasn't for Cocoa Complete, I would have been exhausted and would have taken more naps during the day. But thanks to Cocoa Complete, I was able to do my exercises including walking the very first week of my rehabilitation and it helped me recover. Since that time, I drink Cocoa Complete with my coffee twice a day and never miss a day without it! What a marvelous product !
I'm a vegan and use Coco Complete in almond milk to make chocolate milk. Customer Service calls me when I'm running low on something. They are very nice and always gets the order right.
Enjoy it whenever i drink coffee - also enjoy the added health benefits - Little bit of xtra nrgy

Advanced Micro Devices has demonstrated a working example of its 28nm graphics processing unit known as the Radeon HD 7000. Unfortunately, the company did not unveil any information about revenue shipments of its latest products.
At Fusion 2011, AMD demonstrated its next generation graphics processor, based on the 28nm process technology. The demonstration was delivered by Matt Skynner, the head of AMD's graphics unit, as part of his keynote titled, "Enabling the Best Visual Experience." Skynner demonstrated a notebook-based version of AMD's 28 nm next-generation graphics processor delivering "a smooth, high-resolution game experience" while playing Bioware's popular role-playing title, Dragon Age 2, the game that was demonstrated earlier this week at the smartphone Apple iPhone 4S presentation.
"AMD strives to be at the forefront of every key inflection point in graphics technology,as demonstrated by our leadership in everything from process node transitions, to adoption of the latest graphics memory. Our pace-setting transition to the 28nm process node, coupled with new innovations in our underlying graphics architecture, is already generating excitement among the ODM community here in Taipei this week," said Mr. Skinner.
The main reason why AMD essentially pre-announces its 28nm GPUs is because it wants to secure contracts for notebooks coming in sometimes in Q1, or most probably Q2, of 2012. We do not know AMD's performance in securing BTS [back to school] contracts, hence, the actuial success remains to be determined by analysts like Jon Peddie.
The company remained tight-lipped about specifications and architectural peculiarities of the demonstrated Southern Islands graphics processor. Everything that is known at present is that the company's 28nm GPUs are already fully functional and the company is ready to formally introduce them.
The 28nm generation of AMD's graphics processors will be rather broad. In fact, it is rumoured that even within Southern Islands family there will be chips with VLIW4 architecture as well as more progressive so-called GCN (graphics core next) architecture.

Scat: Owls and Opossums Oh My!
Mystery abounds in the North Campus, for who's been leaving scat under the footbridge? I discovered a vast array (about 10 pieces) of scat while I was searching for fungi a few weeks ago, and of course I snapped some pictures to try and identify our most recent visitor.
Who does this scat belong to?
My gut told me the scat belonged to either a Virginia Opossum, Didelphis virginiana, or a Raccoon, Procyon lotor. To get a definitive answer I did two things. Firstly, I sent this picture to Jim Dines, the Museum's Mammology Collections Manager. Secondly, I put Sam Easterson on the project to set up a camera trap.

West Sacramento neighbors host 'National Night Out' block parties
By Daryl Fisher
Features Editor
Tuesday before last was National Night Out in West Sacramento with local organizers at 15 different sights participating in the annual event sponsored by the West Sacramento Police Department. National Night Out is a community police awareness-raising event held every year on the first Tuesday of August with the goal being to increase citizen awareness about the many different anti-crime efforts going on in each community. Block watchers encourage their neighbors to get out of their homes and spend an evening together on their own street interacting with each other so that they can better protect their neighborhood from crime.
One of the local organizers was longtime West Sacramento resident Robin Courtright, who along with her friend Debra Abraham encouraged all of their neighbors on Redding Road to participate. Robin had helped organize a similar evening five years ago and with so many new neighbors on her street, she decided it was time to do it again.
"We had more than 75 people turn out on our block," said Robin, "and everyone had a really good time. We closed off our street so that all the kids could safely ride their bicycles and then we set up lots of games for the children to play, not to mention bingo for the adults. We also had a Slushie machine and a putting green and of course all kinds of wonderful things to eat. Plus McGruff the Crime Dog showed up along with eight firefighters on a very big fire engine. Mayor Cabaldon also dropped by for a visit as did lots of very friendly police officers. Best of all, my neighbors really got to know each other better and I think that truly is the best way to prevent neighborhood crime. When everyone knows and cares about each other they look out for one another and that makes all of us feel safer."
In addition to Redding Road, the other West Sacramento streets that held National Night Out block parties on August 6th were 7th Street, Lighthouse Drive, Madrone Avenue, West Capitol Avenue, Evergreen Avenue, Meadow Road, 19th Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, Aster and Manchester Streets, Mandeville Way, Barona Court, Sumatra and Mandura Streets, Antigua Place, and Elsinore Court.

Why your kids need their shots before school, & how to get them
Although the long, warm days of summer are still upon us, the time is ripe for parents to prepare their youngsters for the first day of school. For most Yolo County children, the big day is just weeks away. On that morning, not only will children need a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast to ensure success, they will also need to be fully immunized. California state law requires that all children attending school receive their shots. Dr. Constance Caldwell, Yolo County Health Officer encourages parents to make sure their children are fully immunized now, before classes start.
"Childhood immunizations are one of the best ways that a parent can assure good health for their child," said Dr. Constance Caldwell, Yolo County Health Officer, in a county press release. "As families plan the final vacation trips and gatherings of summer, make sure to include time for a visit to your clinic or medical provider for needed check-ups and immunizations. Your healthcare provider will make sure that your child is up to date on required immunizations for school, including an adolescent whooping cough booster shot (Tdap) for incoming 7th graders."
Schools are required to verify each child's immunization record to ensure all shots and boosters are completed before entry to kindergarten and 7th grade. The only exceptions are those with a medical condition in which their doctor has determined puts the child at risk for vaccine-related complications, or parents with a personal or religious belief which prohibits them from vaccinating their child. Kindergartners need a total of five DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis), four polio, three hepatitis B, two MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and one varicella (chickenpox) shot. Kindergarten boosters for DTaP, polio and MMR are given at 4 or 5 years of age. Last school year, 91% percent of Yolo County kindergartners were fully immunized. For students entering 7th grade, 97% had received the whooping cough (pertussis) booster before starting school.
If a child does not have health insurance, or is only partially insured, the Yolo County Health Department can give parents information about which local healthcare providers offer free or low-cost immunizations. Call the Yolo County Child Health Disability Prevention Program at (530) 666-8249 for help finding a provider. In addition, the Health Department offers a children's immunization clinic for families that qualify for the Vaccines for Children program. Children that have no health insurance to pay for their immunizations, or who are on Medi-Cal, are eligible to receive shots from the Health Department. The clinic schedule can be found at www.yolohealth.org or call (530) 666-8562.

'Yolo Idol' contest still open; West Sac native setting the stage at fair
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
The Yolo County Fair starts Aug. 14, and West Sacramento native Marty DeAnda is on a mission. The sometime music-promoter and artist manager wants to upgrade the fair's entertainment quotient, and he wants more West Sacramento musicians upon the fair's various stages.
Those goals may take more than one year to complete, DeAnda told the News-Ledger.
"They brought me in to change things up a bit, and bring in some higher level bands," said DeAnda, 60. "I would also like to see more people competing in 'Yolo Idol' (the local talent competition). Last year, there were a thousand people watching. And I want to bring more bands to the forefront."
Yolo Idol is, of course, modeled a bit upon the "American Idol" TV show.
"It's all singing, all karaoke, to whatever music you choose," he said. "It's all over the board – we see everything from Jim Croce (songs) to real rock and roll for the younger kids."
The cash prizes this year aren't astronomical. Winners will vie for awards of $250, $100 and $50.
"We made steps to upgrade it this year so maybe next year, we can take it to a higher level."
That higher level could include sending local champions on to compete in regional "Idol" challenges.
DeAnda says he is aiming to bring in better known bands to play on the fair's stages.
"This year, our big band is Mumbo Gumbo," he reports. "They play at 9 p.m. on Thursday night, the 15th."
That puts Mumbo Gumbo right after "Yolo Idol," in which local amateurs sing off from 6-8 p.m. the same evening.
And the "Idol" contest isn't filled up, by the way. Interested singers can enter by contacting DeAnda at email@example.com.
The promoter points out that the competition isn't about money and bragging rights. It could be a good place to get "discovered."
"You never know who's listening," said DeAnda.
Case in point: some years ago, DeAnda was pulling down six figures a year as an insurance executive. One night, he went to a Sacramento club.
"I was at an 'open mike' event," he recalls. "I have always been involved in the music scene. I was sitting at my table and the fellow running the open mike said 'This next fellow is terrific, you should stick around.' I still had a half a glass of wine, so I stayed. The kid came up to the mike – he looked like Bob Dylan at Newport. He was really something. And he just exploded."
"I called him and we became friends. I quit my job – I just knew I had to represent him."
The "kid" was Jackie Greene, who turned into one of the biggest singers to come out of Sacramento in the recent past.
So if you enter Yolo Idol, who knows who might be listening?
The free-admission Yolo County Fair runs from August 14-18 at 1250 E. Gum Avenue in Woodland. You can get information at www.yolocountyfair.net or (530) 402-2222.

Project near Tower Bridge starts up
West Sacramento officials on Thursday will celebrate the groundbreaking of a 272-unit "infill" housing project near West Capitol Avenue, Raley Field and the ziggurat building.
Mayor Christopher Cabaldon will join the Wolff Company development team and architect David Mogavero for an 11:30 a.m. ceremony at 777 5th Street.
The "Capital Yards" project sits on 8.5 acres just north of the Tower Bridge gateway, bordered by Third, Fifth and G Streets. The project has also been called "Tower Bridge Commons."
A second phase of the project will later bring the number of housing units to 378, architect David Mogavero told the News-Ledger.
Said the website of Mogavero Notestine Associates, the architect:
"There are two building types in two phases: phase 1 consists of courtyard buildings that include 270 studio, one and two bedroom and penthouse units; and phase 2, our Tower Bridge Gateway building, four stories tall with structured parking that includes live/work, studio, one and two bedroom and penthouse units. Combined, both phases will build out to 350 units."
The courtyard buildings will have tuck-under, garage parking.

This dataset provides information on planned (planned) financing under the different ESI Funds (2014-2020). The data is taken from the adopted financial tables (as at July 2016) and is broken down by fund, programme, priority axis, thematic objective and category of region (more developed, less developed, etc. where available).
For ERDF, ESF and CF the "priority" columns relate to the priority axis (financing blocks) in the programmes; the "investment priority" related to the fixed lists of defined investment objectives set in the three specific fund Regulations.
For the European Agricultural fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) detail is also provided by EAFRD "Focus areas" and "Measures" (the EAFRD Focus Areas are detailed in the EAFRD fund Regulation - Article 5 and the EAFRD measures in Article 13-40 of the relevant Implementing Regulation ).
The data now covers 531 programmes available (adopted and draft) as at the beginning of November 2015 and includes the EU and national co-financing covered by the adoption decision. Financial allocations in the programme financial table may change over time (i.e. transfers between themes, between funds) and as a result the dataset will be updated regularly.

Know Your Target BMI
When beginning a new diet to improve your health, it's important to know the healthy body mass index for your height and weight. Body mass index, or BMI, is the measurement of choice for many physicians and researchers studying obesity. BMI uses a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person's height and weight. BMI equals a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
The table below has already done the math for you. To use the table, find your height in the left-hand column. Move across the row to the given weight. The number at the top of the column is the BMI for that height and weight.

Delegates shoot down proposed health bill
CHARLESTON – There was widespread disapproval of a bill that would have allowed medical exemptions for compulsory immunization of children, but not without the approval of a physician, as well as a county health officer, according to Eastern Panhandle delegates on the House health and human resources committee.
After a lengthy conversation Wednesday regarding several amendments to HB3113, nearly every delegate on the committee voted against the originating legislation, according to Delegate Tiffany Lawrence, D-Jefferson.
"At the juncture and posture we were at (Wednesday), I don't think we had fully vetted the issue or the oversight that needed to happen to make a clear decision and enact policy that will lessen the burden of applying for these medical exemptions," Lawrence said.
The legislation would have allowed for medical exemptions; however, applicants must have a certificate from a physician approved by a county health official. If an individual is denied an exemption, he or she may appeal to the state health official. This process is one that the Department of Health and Human Resources already uses, according to Delegate Daryl Cowles, R-Morgan.
"The process that the DHHR uses today is not the process that is laid out in code, but rather a cumbersome process that DHHR has created on their own," Cowles said. "Clearly the committee didn't like that."
Lawrence said she favored an amendment that would allow parents to move their appeal into the court system if a medical exemption was not approved by the state health officer.
"That would have allowed more flexibility and alternatives for parents who were not granted those exemptions immediately," Lawrence said.
In contrast, Delegate Eric Householder, R-Berkeley, said he did not favor HB3113 as it currently stands, because he feels the decision should be left up to a child's parents and his or her physician and not the government.
"(The state health official) had the final determination, and that was the problem," Householder said of the legislation.
West Virginia is one of two states in the nation that does not have a law allowing for medical exemptions, according to the National Vaccine Information Center.
Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the NVIC, said the Virginia-based organization supports medical exemptions, but doesn't believe they should have to be approved by a government health official.
Fisher said government health agencies often don't take into consideration the needs of individual children, instead they opt for a "one-size-fits-all" solution.
"You put individuals at risk who may be biologically at a greater risk for having a reaction to a vaccination," Fisher said. "Biodiversity is just something that is not being acknowledged in vaccine policy."
The committee has heard much testimony regarding vaccinations and the medical exemption application process, Lawrence said. The Jefferson County delegate said those testifying repeatedly expressed concerns regarding the lack of uniformity in how each county processes the applications.
"We have some (counties), as evidenced by testimony, that are not implementing those procedures correctly. That's where the root of the problem lies," Lawrence said. "I almost feel like we need that data to be provided before we get a more clear picture of the state view on this."
While the bill was voted down, Cowles said he hopes it shed light on the difficulties of getting immunization exemptions in the state.
"It's my hope that we'll be able to address it in some manner and join 48 other states that allow for a reasonable medical exemption," Cowles said.

Back in court, Breer seeks to recover evidence
BARRE Convicted kidnapper Harley Breer Jr. was back in court Monday looking to preserve evidence he feels will help his defense against his latest charges.
Breer, 43, is representing himself in Washington County criminal court in Barre, where he faces numerous charges including sexual assault, domestic assault and burglary. He was convicted in 1999 in a high-profile kidnapping case and spent eight years in prison.
Breer is being held without bail at the prison in Springfield. He is accused of beating and raping a woman with whom he lived in November 2011. He allegedly stole her car and went on the run before being found in New Hampshire.
In court Monday, Breer pleaded not guilty to 19 counts of violating his conditions of release by writing to the woman he is alleged to have raped and beaten in 2011. He was to have been arraigned on the charges in August but invoked a provision in state law that allows a defendant to have 24 hours to review the charges before entering a plea. Breer said he had the information for only 10 minutes before being asked to make a plea.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit for the newest charges, Breer wrote 51 letters from Jan. 17, 2012, until March 28, 2012, to his accuser and her friends, family and ex-husband, all with the intention that the information in the letters would get to the woman. Breer had been ordered earlier in January 2012 not to have contact with her.
The court time Monday was also used to address some of the motions Breer has filed in his case. Between Breer and the state, around 80 motions have been filed in connection with the current charges against Breer.
Breer is seeking the telephone records of a landline he and the woman used when the two lived together in Woodbury from June to November 2011. He said the phone records are relevant because they will show whom he and the woman were contacting and being contacted by during the time when some of the alleged incidents took place.
Judge Thomas Zonay said he would take the matter under advisement.
Breer is also seeking around 40 text messages sent between the woman and Vermont State Police Detective Aimee Nolan, an investigating officer in the case, from Dec. 22 until Dec. 29 in 2011.
States Attorney Tom Kelly said a forensic examiner with the Vermont State Police examined the phone Nolan was using in 2011 and didnt find the text messages Breer was seeking. Kelly said there may have been text messages but that there is no record of them now.
Breer called Nolan to the stand to testify.
Nolan said she had been texting the woman during the course of the investigation. She said in todays day and age, its standard procedure to exchange text messages with witnesses. Nolan acknowledged the text messages were subject to the discovery process for possible use as evidence but didnt catalog or retain the messages because she didnt know she had to.
Nolan said the text messages from the woman concerned the letters Breer was sending to her. The letters were used as evidence in the 19 charges Breer pleaded to Monday.
It was just informing me of things that were happening throughout the investigation, Nolan said.
In the final piece of the three-hour hearing, Breer called to the stand Craig Cantwell, director of the Southern Vermont Digital Forensics Laboratory in Brattleboro.
Cantwell testified that his lab can pull lost data off cellphones and computers and has been asked to retrieve data from electronic devices in past court cases.
Cantwell said his lab pulled data off the cellphone Breer was using in 2011. While Breer asked Cantwell if his phone, which has been in the states custody since Breers arrest in 2011, looked as if it had been tampered with, Cantwell wouldnt go that far.
We found some strange things in there, he said. Strange time stamps in places that really shouldnt be there. Dates like 1980 and 1970, and we were finding them on files that just didnt make sense. ... Its the labs opinion that something has happened to it, not necessarily tampering as much as somethings not right.
Breer said there should have been thousands of texts on the phone that were not found. To retrieve the texts, Breer was seeking the phone of the womans ex-husband and the computer that Breer and the woman used in 2011.
Cantwell testified that if someone hooks up an iPhone, like Breers, to their computer, the computer can automatically back up the phone onto the computer, saving information like contact lists and text messages.
Breer said he had the computer in question set up to do just that and wanted access to it to get the text messages. Breer also said he and the womans ex-husband exchanged numerous text messages during the time of the alleged incidents and wanted the mans phone to try to retrieve those texts.
Zonay directed Breer and his standby counsel to construct protective orders for the phone and computer that would allow Cantwells lab to retrieve the information.

text: Well, DD hasn't nursed since I last posted, so it's been 10 days. She's rarely asked. The last time she really truly asked, I told her the nums were tired, they'd worked a long time, and now they were ready to be done. She fussed about it for a minute, but no major breakdown from her. She hasn't even asked in almost a week. We were even talking yesterday near bedtime about how she nursed as a baby, and she was pretending to be a baby, but she still never actually asked to nurse. So I'm guessing that she really is okay with it, just needed a push to get the ball rolling. I haven't felt at all like my boobs are filling up without her nursing, so I really don't think she was getting any milk there at the end, or if she was, it certainly wasn't much. I feel so good to be done. My hope is that I didn't force her before she was ready, and I don't think I really did, but only she can really know that. So, this part of our journey is over. In another week or two when I feel really confident about it, I'm gonna have me a PB&J sandwich and a Snickers!

In January, the Friends of the Mill Valley Library will present film biographies of two American musicians whose rags to riches stories transformed their innate musical talent into worldwide acclaim.
Ray (2004)January 14th, Monday @ 7:30 p.m.
Jamie Foxx plays Ray Charles but it is Ray Charles who we hear singing in the film. Foxx had the opportunity to work with Charles before he died, so the film has Charles' blessing. Also starring are Kerry Washington as wife Della Robinson and Regina King as Margie Hendricks Ray's other major lover. Ray Charles Robinson went totally blind at the age of 7. Ray was sent to the Florida School for Deaf and Blind where he developed his musical talent and began to perform. With both parents dead, at 15 he went to Seattle (as far away from Florida as possible) where he performed and wrote songs. His big chance came when he signed with Atlantic Records. "I Got a Woman"--a mixture of gospel, blues and jazz--brought him national acclaim. His career was interrupted by numerous drug arrests and time in detox. Jamie Foxx won the Oscar for Best Actor. Ray also won the Oscar for Best Sound Mixing and was nominated for 4 other Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director (Taylor Hackford), Best Costumes and Best Editing..Doors open at 7:00. This series is sponsored by The Friends of the Mill Valley Library. For more Programs and Events at the Library, see the Library Events Calendar.

For over 35 years, The Meadows addiction treatment program has been helping trauma victims heal and learn the skills necessary to cope with the devastating, and often hidden, effects of trauma. The trauma treatment program at The Meadows was specifically designed for trauma survivors by Pia Mellody and a team of world renowned experts including Dr. Peter Levine, John Bradshaw and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.
At The Meadows, we treat all phases of alcohol addiction. From detoxification to our primary treatment program, we help patients build foundations for long-term abstinence and sobriety by making positive changes in the way one lives, faces problems and relates to others. Recovery from inpatient alcohol addiction treatment is possible. Many patients trust The Meadows' alcohol treatment program to help them begin the journey toward sobriety.
Many sex addicts face the challenge of overcoming thinking patterns that allow them to justify their actions while blaming and criticizing other people. This often makes it difficult to turn to treatment. At The Meadows Arizona, we provide a safe, confidential and healing environment for sexual addiction treatment. Our expert treatment staff helps clients look at the core issues and underlying causes of sexual addiction.
Drug Addiction Treatment can lead to a number of physical and mental disorders, and can significantly strain or ruin relationships. Recovery is possible at The Meadows. Our drug addiction treatment options range from detoxification to an intensive, inpatient psychotherapeutic program that addresses the symptoms and causes of addiction. Our expert treatment staff provides a best inpatient drug rehab for patients to regain control over their lives.
Our weeklong on-campus workshops offer an opportunity to experience The Meadows without enrolling in a five-week treatment program and provide a cost-effective alternative when long-term treatment is not an option.See AllWorkshops »

Final Countdown to the Playoffs: Games 7 and 8: Trying to leave Florida with a series win and regaining first place in the East.
The Phillies (86-68) will continue their final three games series with the third place Marlins (81-72) with two games tonight and tomorrow afternoon. The Phillies' starter for tonight's game will be Joe Blanton (7-12 (2-0), 4.82), who will be coming off a no-decision against the Brewers on September 14 in the day half of the day/night doubleheader, as he went seven innings, giving up only three earned runs on five hits, in the Phillies' 7-3 win. This would be only his third start in which he would go for more than five innings, but it would come at a good time for the Phils. He has faced the Marlins before, recording his second win as a Phil since the trade, as he would defeat them on September 8, going five innings, giving up four earned runs on five hits, in the Phillies' 8-6 win. He will be going for his second straight long start while trying to improve on his previous start against the fish, while at the same time trying to end the fish's nine game winning streak. His opponent will be Anibal Sanchez (2-4, 5.87), who is coming off a no-decision against the Nationals on September 14, as he went seven innings, giving up two earned runs on four hits, in the Marlins' 8-7 win. He has faced the Phillies twice before, losing both starts, as he would go a combine total of only six and two-thirds innings, giving up eight earned runs on ten hits. He will be trying to improve his record while also trying to finally defeat the Phils.
The second game, the Phillies' final game on the road, will be played Sunday afternoon at Dolphin Stadium, and will begin at 4:10 pm Eastern. The Phillies' starter for this game will be the 45 years old Jamie Moyer (14-7, 3.86), who is coming off a no-decision against the Braves on September 16, as he would only go five and two-thirds innings, giving up six earned runs on six hits, in the Phillies' 8-7 win.This would only be his second bad start in his last nineteen. Careerwise, he is 10-1 against the fish, losing his last start against them on August 5 as he would only be able to go five innings, giving up two earned runs on six hits, in the Phillies' 8-2 lost. He will be trying for his eleventh win against the fish, trying to regain his dominace over the young Marlin batters, while going for his fifteenth victory overall. The Marlins will be sending to the mound Chris Volstad (5-3, 3.07), who will be coming off a win against the Astros on September 16 as he went eight innings, giving up only an earned run on four hits, in the Marlins' 5-1 win. In his last two starts against the Phillies, he is 1-0 with a no-decision, which the Marlins would win, as he would go a combine total of nine innings, giving up only an earned run on five hits. He will be trying to improve his record while also trying to hurt the Phillies' playoff hopes.
The Phillies' offense just need to continue what they were doing in their recent seven games winning streak and at the beginning of last night's game: score runs early, and then later on just keep on scoring, and mainly doing it by being as patient as they can when batting against the other team's starting pitching. At the same time, the two starters, Joe Blanton and Jamie Moyer, will have to go after the Marlins' young batters, and doing so by throwing them mainly off-speed stuff and only using fastballs when they have the batters confused by the slower stuff, otherwise they are going to find themselves getting pounded by this fastball hitting team and forced to use up the bullpen.
The Phillies trail the Mets by a half game, as they prepare to face the Braves. The Phillies are ahead of the Marlins by four and a half games as they continue their series. In the Wild Card chase, the Phillies are still leading the Brewers by two games, although they are presently trailing the Reds at the moment. They are ahead of both the Marlins and the Astros by four and a half games as the Astros get ready to play the Pirates tonight. The Phillies will be trying to regain the lead in the East while trying to push back the challenge of the now hot Marlins while trying to bury the still slumping Brewers.

Well, it looks like the Phils have finally extinguished the Marlins playoff dreams. Lidge is unreal, some of his pitches are just plain unhittable!
It's been a good year of games between the Marlins and the Phillies. Lot's of close back-and-forth affairs. Even though the Fish won the season series against them, Philly certainly has the better team. It was a fun ride, last one tomorrow against (who else) Moyer.
I won't believe that the Marlins are out of it until I see a 1 next to their name. They have a nasty habit of being a pest. Lidge isn't unhittable. He just know when not to throw a hittable pitch and how to get out a bunch of fastball loving youngsters.
Might have been a good year, but these games have come close several times of giving me an upset stomach, including tonight's game. And the fact that they have won the series (the only one of two in the NL) gives me a headache. At the moment, yeah. I wonder if they will still have the best team if they can make it into October.
Yeah, the walking nightmare for the Marlins will be pitching tomorrow against the Marlins this afternoon, won't he? Hee hee hee.

I've wanted to write this column for quite some time, but I was afraid of coming off as some sort of spokesman for angry dudes everywhere. I'm not. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of most men, and I think women have every reason not to trust us, especially when it comes to sex. After all, most guys would cut their own dick off to get laid.
Here's a visual to help with the sound you just heard in your head.
So yes, ladies, you're right. When it comes to sexual interactions, men are mostly awful. But now what? You think you'll avoid all the problems that come from interacting with half the human race just because you know we're not to be trusted? Clearly, that's not enough, because everyone knows that, and yet you keep stepping in it. Here are three of the biggest mistakes women make when it comes to men.
3 Playing Hard to Get Is a Good Idea
This technique is as old as it is pointless, but before we see why, let's get the terminology right. This entry is about playing hard to get. That doesn't mean being hard to get. Women of the world: Please go out and be every bit as picky as you think you deserve. No one --not even an incredibly sexy older man writing for a successful website -- has the right to tell you who you should be dating. Standards are great, and kudos to you for having them. What I'm talking about is women who are actually in the market for a specific man. They know who they want, they got him all picked out and their strategy for landing him is simply "playing hard to get." What a boring, useless waste of time.
Some of you disagree. "Bullshit," you say, while wearing your incredibly tight top of indifference and pretending to have no peripheral vision. "I'll play hard to get and distinguish myself!"
This is you.
Distinguishing yourself. That's the whole point of playing hard to get. Instead of being like the other needy girls, you act super cool and uninterested to stand out. You know what else would distinguish you? Giving better head than everyone else.
Now, before you string me up for being crass, just hear me out. I'm proving a point (via an oral sex joke the way the good Lord intended). It makes sense to want to stand out from the crowd -- to do something to distinguish yourself. But why not actually do something? Be funnier, smarter, kinder, or, yes (even though it was a joke), better in bed. At least those are skills. Something tangible.
What's playing hard to get? The talent to do nothing: "Oh, I won't look at him. I won't laugh at his jokes. I won't tell him his video series is amazing."
But let's say I'm wrong. We'll pretend playing hard to get is like the most super way to get a guy ever. We'll pretend you did your trick and instead of finding you tedious and bland, your dude asked you out. (And you eventually accepted.) Just do me a favor and fast forward a little bit. Two weeks from now, what do you want your boyfriend to tell his friends about the relationship? "Oh, the way she just sat there and did nothing was amazing. I just had to have her. There she was, not talking to me too much and not making too much eye contact, and I was all, man, I would love to have a girlfriend that might not actually dig me."
Wouldn't you rather overhear him say, "I met this girl the other night and she was so funny I laughed the whole night." Or "This new girl, she gets things that no other woman gets. I can talk to her." Or lastly, wouldn't even praise for your sexual performance be more gratifying than how awesome you are at hiding your feelings and true desires?
"And you know what she said? Nothing! Isn't that great?"
But there's a bigger problem. Which guys are most susceptible to the "playing hard to get" trick? Only the kind of dude who wants what he can't have. Exactly. If your trick gets you a prize, then congratulations, you just won a dick. Your new man doesn't actually want you. How could he? You didn't even show him you. You were too busy being cool. He just wanted a toy he didn't own yet. And guess what? Once he has you, you lose your only distinguishing characteristic. But I'm sure he won't resent you for it. After all, you just went fishing with super-smart bait -- the kind that only attracts assholes and disappears completely the moment they bite. Well played.
2 Guys Are All About "Negging"
Lately, I've been hearing a lot of women talk about "negging." Do you know about this? Supposedly it's a flirting technique where a guy insults a woman to lower her self-esteem, thereby making her more susceptible to being hit on. Some quick research tells me it's a technique championed by that d-bag "Mystery" who you might recall from the VH1 show The Pickup Artist. I didn't watch the show, and I assume you didn't either, unless you're having a smarter friend read this aloud for you while you stumble toward literacy.
"Hi. My name's Mystery. My mother is petitioning Webster's to come up with a stronger word for 'shame.'"
I tend to think this negging phenomenon is complete bullshit. Most guys I know aren't exactly sexual Hannibal Lecters, capable of deconstructing and rebuilding a woman's psyche for sex. It's hard enough for us to keep the little things straight: "Smile, don't stare at her tits, don't stare at her tits, say she's pretty, smile, don't stare at her tits, you stared at her tits, stop staring at her tits, smile ..." And yet, I keep hearing about this and seeing it in Facebook statuses and Tweets, and I don't think it's because men won't stop negging. I think it's because women like the idea of negging.
You can understand why it's attractive. Now a man can't criticize a woman without being accused of wanting to have sex with her. Look, maybe some sad, misguided men are negging, but ladies, let me ask you this: Have you ever considered that perhaps some of you just suck? Like for real? I mean, I can't give you exact statistics, but there's got to be a fairly large percentage of women going on about negging who are just legitimately awful. And now they're bulletproof in their little negging sanctuaries.
Man: You white supremacist bitch. You just set fire to that black Baptist church!
Woman: ... Are you negging? You're so negging.
Man: My God, no! I just hate you.
Woman: NEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGINNNNNNNG.
Man: No seriously. I don't even understand how you exist. It's like the ghost of Josef Mengele raped Pol Pot's stem cells. You're just evil.
Woman: Maybe, but you'd still fuck me.
Man: Well, yeah?
Most men want to have sex with women, but you can't disqualify an opinion just because it has a penis attached to it. Personally, if I weren't allowed to critique women I wanted to jump, I never would have made it through my 18th Century Feminist Theory class. (Mary Wollstonecraft FTW!)
Yes, I'm still wildly attracted to you, but your prose is a little stilted, baby.

Slain New York man had history of domestic offenses
A New York man who died Monday after being shot during a violent domestic incident in which police say he repeatedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend was scheduled to appear in a Granville, N.Y., court Tuesday for a hearing on pending charges of domestic abuse and violating a no-contact order.
Two days after Aaron Allen, 28, of Hudson Falls, N.Y., was shot during an incident in Danby, police continue to investigate whether his killing at the hands of Michael White the 24-year-old Danby man now dating Heather Thompson, Allens former girlfriend was justified.
Vermont State Police also released more details Tuesday about the incident in Danby.
Detective Lt. Kevin Lane, the lead investigator in the case, said the shots that killed Allen who was reportedly using a kitchen knife to repeatedly stab Thompson at the time were fired from a .30-06 rifle that White used to shoot the New York man, first in the leg and then the side.
Lane also said that White called 911 for help after the incident.
Allen was pronounced dead hours later at Rutland Regional Medical Center but Thompson, who underwent surgery for her injuries, was expected to survive. Lane said he didnt know her condition or whether she remained at the hospital. A hospital spokeswoman said no information about Thompsons condition could be released.
Lane said police are continuing to gather and analyze evidence in the case, which will be turned over to the Rutland County states
attorneys office. No charges have been filed against White, who remains free.
His family members have described his actions on Sunday as self defense on behalf of another. But Lane said Tuesday more investigation was needed to determine whether the shooting was justified.
The family members, who say they had been threatened by Allen in the past, also wanted to know why more wasnt done in the past to punish Allen for violating the New York court order that required him to stay away from his ex-girlfriend.
This could have been prevented, Whites stepmother, Debbie White, said Monday.
White said she didnt know how many times Allen had visited Thompsons home on John Corey Road in recent months. But she said he had been there multiple times in violation of the court order and asked why police hadnt arrested him.
Lane said Tuesday he was unaware of any calls that state police had responded to at the Danby residence or any incidents at all involving Allen prior to the stabbing and shooting Sunday evening.
Lane added that police were aware of domestic charges pending against Allen in New York and he said a review of police contact with Allen was taking place at the same time as the investigation into the shooting.
Were certainly looking at the whole history of what was related and what led up to this point, Lane said.
Granville, N.Y. Police Chief Ernest Bassett said Tuesday that his department had investigated Allen multiple times for alleged abuse against Thompson.
In March, Thompson told police that Allen had held her against her will for four hours in a Granville home, Bassett said. The complaint led to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful imprisonment against Allen, who was arrested in April.
On March 31, Thompson was granted a no-contact order from a New York court that prohibited Allen from communicating with her in any form. He allegedly violated that order less than a month later when Granville Police say Allen made harassing phone calls while he was visiting Florida.
He was arrested and charged with violating the courts no-contact order May 21. He was released on his own recognizance, police said.
New York Corrections officials said Tuesday that Allen had quit his six-year job as a corrections officer at a maximum-security prison in Comstock, N.Y., on May 7.
Bassett said he was unaware of any violations of the no-contact order in Vermont where he said law enforcement has the authority to enforce the New York court order.
Allen denied the misdemeanor charges against him in New York but a prosecutor in the Washington County district attorneys office in New York said Tuesday Allen had been offered a plea deal that would have been part of the discussions at the court hearing scheduled for this week.
Katherine Henley, first assistant district attorney in the New York prosecutors office, said in an email interview that Allen had been offered a deal allowing him to plead guilty to criminal contempt and menacing in the third degree with a sentence at the courts discretion and a five-year no-contact order of protection for Thompson.
Henley also said the judge in the case had indicated that he was considering imposing jail time if Allen pleaded guilty to the charges in the deal.

You Can Put it on the Board: Another "L"
Today was excruciating. The White Sox had chance after chance to overcome a slim Texas lead and the opportunity to take the series from the Rangers, but the South Siders couldn't get it done.
—Although the Sox narrowed the margin to 2-1 on a Paul Konerko single in the seventh, we left runners on first and second as Alex Rios grounded into a DP, the third of the day for the Pale Hose. For the record, a Rios misjudged ball in center, along with a Gordon Beckham error, were responsible for the only two Ranger runs.
—We left runners on first and third in the eighth as pinch hitter Adam Dunn struck out (what else is new?) and Juan Pierre grounded into a force out to kill the rally.
—After Neftali Feliz walked Carlos Quentin and Konerko in the ninth, we left the tying run on third as A.J. Pierzynski flied out to end the game.
Aside from a fine seven-inning performance by Gavin Floyd, positives were hard to find in the 2-1 loss. Unless you consider the fact that the Sox remained nine games in back of the Indians, instead of dropping another game behind. The Tribe was clobbered by the Red Sox, 14-2.

For your own health's sake, do not worry where the Indians stand. White Sox teams of late are very frustrating but it gets worse if you keep track games behind and things like that. Too early.
Keep up the writing, your emotional ups and downs are entertaining.
