On February 4, he received a call from the supervisor at her medical school saying that she had failed to show up for class all week.

Nearly 30 years after Robert Durst's first wife vanished, Westchester County prosecutors say they are still investigating her disappearance and likely murder.
"It remains an open case, as does every unsolved homicide," said Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for the Westchester DA.
But friends and family of Kathleen Durst fear the case is as cold as her suspected killer's heart.
Kathleen, a medical student, had complained to friends that Robert Durst had become increasingly possessive and violent.
She disappeared on Jan. 31, 1982, after meeting Durst for dinner at their lakeside cottage in South Salem.

Kathleen's best friend, Gilberte Najamy, was the last person to see her alive, and said she remains frustrated that the investigation has stalled.
Najamy said she is convinced that Durst knows more than he is telling.
"He's willing to do anything to protect himself," Najamy said. "That's the Bobby I know."
Najamy said Kathleen had been planning to leave Durst but wanted to become a doctor and save up some money first.
Kathleen, 29, disappeared just several months before she was to graduate from medical school.

When "The Social Network" opened, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg came out and claimed he didn't mind the mixed portrait of him found in the movie. And in fact, it's hard to see a downside for Zuckerberg in that film, even if other characters keep calling him a variation of the word "jerk."
It's difficult to imagine that the real-life character portrayed in "All Good Things" will be quite as sanguine, and yet The New York Times has reported his shrugging response to this film, a reaction that supports the movie's portrait of him as a privileged sociopath.
This washed-out drama is based on the story of Robert Durst, a man from a wealthy New York family whose wife vanished in 1982. The case has not been solved, although Durst was convicted of a later bizarre crime (acquitted because of self-defense in a murder, he was jailed for evidence tampering after he chopped up the body).
"All Good Things" introduces us to David Marks (the names are changed), played by Ryan Gosling. Although he has a slightly peculiar air, we might chalk that up to his reluctance to enter the real-estate business his father (Frank Langella) built, a business with a shady side.
Instead, David takes off and marries Katie (Kristen Dunst), who comes from the wrong side of the tracks. Their winsome dream of running an organic grocery in Vermont is doomed by the Marks family's gravitational pull toward aristocracy and power.
Director Andrew Jarecki is best known for his documentary, "Capturing the Friedmans," and that might explain why "All Good Things" meanders along for a while, the way a documentary can when it knows it's going to get to its point eventually. This pays off in the details, like the way David's father pointedly asks Katie's mother to pay half the bill when the parents take their children out to a celebratory engagement lunch. He could afford to buy the restaurant they're in, but that's the kind of person he is.
Things begin to tighten when the Marks marriage turns sour, and then the big mystery takes center stage: What happened to Katie Marks?
Jarecki isn't shy about offering certain scenarios, one of which paints Marks as the probable killer, aided by a friend (Lily Rabe), who lives to regret her involvement.
Things get really baroque toward the end, but oddly enough, the early reels are what you remember. The non-actory performance by Kirsten Dunst is impressive, as is her convincing interplay with Gosling (he's always up for playing heels), convincing when they're courting and when they're fighting.
So, the movie has good things, but after a while it seems to be going in circles, and no definitive solution to the unsolved case is forthcoming. Maybe that's why "All Good Things" feels like an unfinished draft, with a future update,
perhaps, tying together the loose ends.
"All Good Things" ½
A true-crime case (of the unsolved variety) comes to fitful life: A New York rich boy (Ryan Gosling) marries a blue-collar girl (Kirsten Dunst) in the hopes of escaping his family. But the gravitational pull is too strong, and murder is on the horizon. Good understated performances by the leads, but the film has an unfinished quality despite the weird true story.

Kim Kwang Hyon / AP
American missionary Kenneth Bae, right, leaves after speaking to reporters in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Monday.
PYONGYANG, North Korea -- An American missionary who has been jailed in North Korea for more than a year appeared before reporters Monday and appealed to the U.S. government to do its best to secure his release.
Kenneth Bae made the comments at what he called a press conference held at his own request. He was under guard during the appearance. It is not unusual for prisoners in North Korea to say after their release that they spoke in similar situations under duress.
Wearing a gray cap and inmate's uniform with the number 103 on his chest, Bae spoke in Korean during the brief appearance, which was attended by The Associated Press and a few other foreign media in Pyongyang.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki talks about former NBA star Dennis Rodman's trip to North Korea and his comments about American Kenneth Bae, who is being held in a North Korean prison.
"I believe that my problem can be solved by close cooperation and agreement between the American government and the government of this country," he said.
Bae, the longest-serving American detainee in North Korea in recent years, expressed hope that the U.S. government will do its best to secure his release. He said he has not been treated badly in confinement.
A sticking point with Bae might be that the U.S. government has said he is not guilty of any crimes. Vice President Joe Biden said last month that Bae is being held without reason, which Pyongyang denies. Bae on Monday made an apology and said he had committed anti-government acts. He said recent comments in the media from the U.S. side — likely alluding to Biden's remarks — have made his situation more complicated.
Bae was arrested in November 2012 while leading a tour group and accused of crimes against the state before being sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. He was moved to a hospital last summer in poor health.
His appearance came weeks after North Korea freed an elderly American veteran of the Korean War who had been held for weeks for alleged crimes during the 1950-53 war.
State media said 85-year-old Merrill Newman was released because he apologized for his wrongdoing and that authorities also considered his age and medical condition. Newman said after his release that a videotaped confession was given involuntarily and under duress, although he was generally treated well.
The former NBA star is saying sorry this morning for comments he made about Kenneth Bae, the American being detained in North Korea. Rodman is in North Korea to celebrate Kim Jong Un's birthday. NBC's Ian Williams reports from Beijing.
North Korea has detained at least seven Americans since 2009. They were eventually deported or released without serving out their terms, some after prominent Americans such as former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter traveled to Pyongyang.
"We shouldn't take Kenneth Bae's comments merely as his own," said Kim Jin Moo, a North Korea expert at the state-run Korea Institute for Defense Analyses in Seoul. "The reason why North Korea had Kenneth Bae make this statement ... is that they want Washington to reach out to them."
"Bae's comments are an appeal to Washington to actively persuade Pyongyang to release him," Kim said.
Other foreign analysts say North Korea wants better ties with Seoul and Washington as a way to win foreign aid and investment to boost its struggling economy.
Earlier this month, Bae's detention was in the news after former basketball star Dennis Rodman traveled to Pyongyang with other retired NBA players for an exhibition game marking the birthday of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. In an interview with CNN while in Pyongyang, Rodman made comments implying Bae was at fault.
Rodman, who has been criticized for not using his ties with Kim to help secure Bae's freedom, later apologized.

Firsr base? It's really pathetic when a grown old man can't even spell.
1. Uh I didn't give it a rating dumbass. I made the thread. Go try to find a post where I gave a rating.
2. I have a girlfriend. And luckily our parents didn't spend time on the Internet while their kids spent time being some boys chew toy. By the time she's 21 she'll think the bottle will be a better father.
3. Yeah sure Dad. Arguing with people on the Internet. Father of the year right here. I'm sure your daughters baby daddy is a better daddy than you.
Kid you wish you had a daughter. Probably too young to know what first base is.
I don't why you somehow think that saying " I have a daughter " somehow makes you wiser cause based off your attitude, you probably just got a drunk 16 yr old pregnant.

DW Classic Paddle: Old School Revisited
In the beginning, dodgers and squids ruled the Great Lakes for Big Kings, but technology has evolved, relegating the dodger / squid an "Old School" technique. Great Lakes Anglers knew dodgers and traditional rotators could be effective, but were reluctant to use them because "They didn't play well with others!" Dodgers run best at speeds that kill the action of other lures. With over 35 years of history and experience to draw on, Team Dreamweaver went "back to the future" to update this fish catching rig. Now speed tolerant, the Classic Paddle can be effectively fished with your normal spread. And if "Going Deep" is your plan, the Classic Paddle should be your first weapon to deploy. The highly effective action is not dependent on the weight of the paddle, allowing for nominal resistance. The Classic Paddle is the revitalized grandfather of attractors and has allowed Great Lakes Anglers to bring "old school" into the present.

New laws approved during the Kentucky General Assembly's 2013 regular session went into effect June 25.
Child protection. House Bill 290 will establish by statute an independent review panel to investigate cases of child deaths and near-fatal injuries. The panel will be given access to complete records of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, as well as information from law enforcement and other agencies involved in the cases.
Crime. Senate Bill 15, named the Bryan Durman Act in honor of a Lexington police officer who was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 2010, will ensure that a person convicted of criminal homicide in the killing of a police or firefighter on duty doesn't become eligible for probation or parole until 85 percent of a sentence is served.
DNA testing. HB 41 will allow some felony offenders in prison or under state supervision to request testing and analysis of their DNA as case evidence.
Hemp. SB 50 creates an administrative framework for the growing of hemp in Kentucky if the crop is legalized by the federal government.
Human trafficking. HB 3 will strengthen human trafficking laws while protecting victims from prosecution for crimes they were forced to commit. The legislation will offer assistance to agencies responsible for helping human trafficking victims by creating a "human trafficking victims fund" supported by service fees paid by convicted human traffickers, proceeds from seized and forfeited assets of traffickers, and any grants, contributions, or other funds that may become available.
Proof of insurance. HB 164 will allow people to use electronic insurance cards on their smart phones or other electronic devices as proof of motor vehicle insurance. Drivers will still be required to keep paper insurance cards in their vehicles.
Religious freedom. HB 279 specifies that government shall not burden a person's freedom of religion. The legislation states that an action motivated by a sincerely held religious belief can not be infringed upon without a compelling governmental interest. (HB 279 was vetoed by the governor; the veto was overridden by the House and Senate.)
Scholarships. SB 64 will ensure that students earning Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarships aren't penalized in the amount of scholarship money they receive if they graduate from high school in three years rather than four.
School dropouts. SB 97 will allow school districts to increase the compulsory attendance age to 18 beginning in the 2015-16 school year. Districts that do so must have programs and resources in place for students at-risk of not graduating. The increased compulsory attendance age will become mandatory statewide four years after 55 percent of Kentucky school districts adopt it.
Student health. HB 172 will encourage schools to possess at least two epinephrine auto-injectors in case one is needed for a student having a life-threatening allergic or anaphylactic reaction.
Suicide prevention. SB 72 will require attendance at suicide prevention training programs at least once every six years for social workers, marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, fee-based pastoral counselors, alcohol and drug counselors, psychologists, and occupational therapists.
Teacher evaluations. HB 180 will require the Kentucky Board of Education to establish a statewide evaluation system for all certified personnel. The Department of Education, in consultation with teacher and principal steering committees, will develop the system prior to the 2014-2015 school year.
Tuition waivers. SB 95 will extend the five-year tuition waiver eligibility period for adopted children who serve in the military.
Victim protection. HB 222 will establish a crime victim protection program in the Secretary of State's office to allow domestic violence victims to have personal information, such as addresses, redacted from public voter registration roles. The legislation will also allow victims in the program to vote by mail-in absentee ballot.

Find Your Passion: A Natural Born Storyteller
By Chris Bryant
Considering her last name, perhaps it's no wonder University of Alabama journalism graduate student Allyson Angle loves finding just the right slant for each sports story she writes.
"I love sports, and I love covering games and everything, but my passion is storytelling," says the 23-year-old St. Louis native, "just getting at what's interesting about the person and what makes them special and what makes the story interesting."
Finding the most powerful angle available, it seems, brings Angle contentment.
Contentment was in short supply in Tuscaloosa in the days following the April 27 tornado that blasted its way across portions of the city. Compelling story angles were not.
National media outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, CNN and NBC Nightly News traveled to Tuscaloosa to report on the storm's aftermath, including the loss of lives and the structural devastation but also the uplifting accounts of neighbors and strangers, college students and retirees, banding together to help those who were hurting.
Sports Illustrated senior writer Lars Anderson, a 17-year veteran of the iconic magazine, says a general concept for a sports story began taking shape in his mind about eight days after the twister struck.
"With the working thesis being," Anderson says, "sports can help rebuild Tuscaloosa and help save Tuscaloosa because sports are so embedded in the culture there."
What was also evident, Anderson says, was that Angle, who had earlier audited a UA journalism class he had taught, could both advance the story and draw professional benefit from helping report it.
"She was just absolutely critical to unearthing a lot of information that we got because she, as a former athlete there, had connections to former athletes that I generally don't have," Anderson says.
Angle says she jumped at the chance Anderson offered.
Drawing from her journalism skills — honed during her UA classes, internships and her leadership roles for Corolla, the student yearbook, and Alpine Living, a student-produced, multimedia lifestyle magazine – and the rapport she, as a former UA swimmer, had with UA athletes – Angle began working the phones on behalf of Anderson and Sports Illustrated.
Her first call? Javier Arenas. Alabama's former All-American cornerback and all-time leading punt returner and current NFL Kansas City Chief, Arenas was in his Tuscaloosa home when the twister struck his neighborhood. And, five years earlier, he and Angle, both freshmen at the time, had a class together and developed a friendship.
"I had his number, and I knew he was in town, so I called him, and we set up a time," Angle says.
That contact proved central to the story as Arenas' personal encounter with the twister – he hid in his bathtub while the twister devastated his 15th Street neighborhood – was a key component in the story and resulted in the magazine's cover image.
"He let me have a lot of freedom," Angle says of working alongside Anderson. "He, would, obviously, run the show, but I asked before how he wanted me to help him, and he said, 'if you have a question, ask it.'"
So, whether it was accompanying Anderson during interviews with UA head coaches Nick Saban, Anthony Grant or Sarah Patterson or numerous UA athletes, Angle was primed and ready with questions in hand.
"No moment is too big for her," Anderson says.
Reading the published piece and being able to point to quotes she prompted with her own questions is "amazing," Angle says.
"I've worked with a lot of young reporters with the magazine," Anderson says, "and she displayed the sensitivity of a seasoned reporter that you wouldn't expect from someone who is just wrapping up grad school."
Angle also got an inside look as Anderson tweaked the article following exchanges with his editor, assisted with an online video the magazine developed for its website and even helped with the lighting for the magazine's famed photographic shoots.
While her degree of involvement didn't yield a "special reporting" tagline in print, Angle says the experience was "unparalleled," and she expressed appreciation to Anderson for generously crediting her for her role in follow-up interviews he's granted about the project to other media.
Anderson's SI colleague, Peter King, referenced Angle multiple times in a column about the feature and referred to Anderson and Angle as "reporters of the week" in a tweet – no small claim to fame as King has more than 550,000 eager followers. In-state radio and newspapers reports have also highlighted Angle's role in developing the story – creating a cascade of interest among her friends and family members.
"It's been pretty unbelievable," Angle says.
"She played a critical role in the whole story," Anderson says. "She has a really special gift for interacting with people, and that's a huge part of being a successful reporter."
Dr. Kim Bissell, an associate dean in UA's College of Communication and Information Sciences and faculty adviser for Alpine Living, says she's witnessed Angle's gifts and journalistic drive first-hand, on numerous occasions.
"Allyson is the epitome of what we all want to have in young journalists: she's passionate, curious, self-motivated and an extremely hard worker," Bissell says. "Allyson sets the bar very high for herself, and that drives her to keep asking questions and keep pushing (at sources, stories, research) until she gets the answer. I would say the skill that Allyson has that sets her apart is her work ethic and her motivation. She knows what she wants in her career, and she is going after it."
Angle, now interning full-time at the Anniston Star, will complete her master's degree requirements from UA in July. Prior to her role in the storm coverage, she met with Sports Illustrated editors in New York to discuss her journalism future, a meeting Anderson pushed for and which a profile Angle wrote on Heisman-Trophy winner Mark Ingram for the Corolla helped solidify.
She expects to meet again with SI's editors later in the summer and said she sees working for the magazine giant as a real possibility in the not-so-distant future.
"Some people have told me, in the past, that I'm setting my sights too high," Angle says about her goal of writing for Sports Illustrated. "Maybe, for most people, but I'm not most people," says Angle, in a manner that comes across more confident than cocky. "I'm not going to let other people tell me what to do. I'm just kind of – the sky's the limit, at this point."
Angle, like the college town she's grown to love, isn't sure what lies ahead, but she remains optimistic.
"I'm just hoping for the best," Angle says. "All I know is – I'd be happiest writing sports. Whatever ends up happening, I'll be fine."

Upon shipment of your order, we will send you an e-mail confirming your shipment, including tracking information where applicable.
Shipping Charges
Shipping charges for orders can vary depending on the contents of the order as well as the destination. Shipping charges are indicated in your cart during the checkout process. If a product that you ordered is temporarily out of stock, we will ship it to you once it's back in stock at no additional charge even if we have already shipped other items from the same order.
*Free shipping is provided on most continental US orders over $100. Some items, such as furniture and oversize pieces, may require additional shipping charges as noted on the product page and are exempt from this policy. Shipping will be quoted for orders placed that require freight or special delivery due to large quantities or weight. Sales and clearance items, gift certificates, and returns and exchanges do not qualify for free shipping unless otherwise noted. Free shipping is for standard ground delivery only.
Shipping Times and Delivery Options
Shipping time to US destinations will vary depending on the items ordered, the carrier and the type of shipping service used. We have no control over the time of delivery once the product is in the hands of the carrier. Please note that UPS does not deliver to PO or APO Boxes; for orders to these destinations please contact us to arrange shipping through USPS or other available carriers.
International Shipping
We ship to locations outside the continental United States using several carrier options. We will provide you with the documents normally required to clear customs. Please add 1 to 2 days to a stocked product's standard turnaround time to allow for processing international orders.
For some international orders both to and from the United States you may be required to pay local or national import duties or taxes to your carrier or local customs agency. We have no means to determine in advance if you will be charged or what these charges will amount to. We recommend you research and contact your local customs bureau in advance of placing an international order to determine if any additional duties might be required. Duties and taxes are the sole responsibility of the recipient; items may not be returned because of such charges. We reserve the right to ship using alternative carriers in cases where delivery times are comparable to the option selected.
Packages sent internationally using the United States Postal Service (USPS) are transferred to the recipient's national carrier upon arrival in their country. Customers may need to contact their local postal service directly should the need arise in making final delivery.
We ask that you wait until the end of the estimated shipping time range before you inquire with us about the status of an undelivered order. There are several common reasons a delivery is delayed, and in many of these cases the original shipment is returned to our fulfillment center.
These reasons include:
- Incorrect or invalid shipping address
- Recipient unavailable to receive delivery
- Shipment damaged or destroyed in transit
In any of these cases we will contact you immediately in order to determine new arrangements for delivering the order.
Lost Shipments
If you believe that your shipment has been lost, please contact us and we will help determine if it is lost or only delayed. If it is lost, either we or the distributor will have to file a claim with the carrier. The time to resolve the case will vary with the shipper. Please note that we cannot track or trace international shipments, therefore we cannot deem them lost until the claim has been processed by the shipper, which can take up to seven weeks in some cases. Once the carrier makes restitution for the lost shipment we will either process a refund or replace the order depending on the product.
Damaged Shipments
All our pieces are carefully inspected for damage before they are shipped from our facility. Our suppliers generally do the same. If you receive damaged items then it is most likely they were damaged in transit. In the event you discover damaged items in your package, you must contact us within 48 hours of receiving the shipment so that a claim can be filed with the carrier. We recommend that you leave the damaged product inside its packaging and, if possible, take photographs showing the damage. In some cases we may ask that you return the broken product.
If it is determined that a product was damaged prior to arrival, the damaged item will be replaced once the item has been received back, if requested.The replacement product will take the same time to process and ship as the original. There is no additional charge to the customer for the replacement shipment. Refunds are not provided for damaged shipments.
Please note that we cannot be held liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense related to any delay in shipment or delivery.
Cancellation Policy
You may cancel an order that has not been processed for shipping unless it is a dropshipped order, special order, sale or customized product. Any cancellation fees imposed by the manufacturer will be the customer's responsibility and will be deducted from any refund. Cancellation requests may take several days for processing and will be confirmed by email.
If an order ships prior to confirmation, you will be asked to submit a Return Authorization Request once you receive the item and a refund will be issued following normal policy.
The purchase of products noted as a sale, custom order or made to order in the product description must be canceled in person, via email or by direct telephone conversation with a customer service representative within 30 minutes of purchase to receive a credit or refund. After this period there are no exchanges, refunds or credits.
Return Policy
Products other than those which are sale, custom, made to order, dropshipped or designated as non-returnable on the website can be returned within 14 calendar days of receipt to obtain an exchange, refund or credit. Items returned between 15 and 30 calendar days of receipt are eligible to receive a credit if our return guidelines are followed. Credit is valid for one year from date of issue. Items are not returnable after 30 days of receipt.
Once your returned product has been received and inspected, you will receive a refund or credit within 30 days. We deduct a minimum of $15 or the cost of any shipping and handling that was applied to your order (whichever is greater) and the cost of the return shipping, if applicable. Any expedited shipping charges that were requested on the original order are not refundable. Restocking fees may apply in certain cases.
All returned items should be unused and in original packaging. We reserve the right to decline any returns not in their packaging or not suited for resale. A Return Authorization Number RAN is required before any items can be accepted for return; please see Return Authorizations below.
No exchanges, refunds or credits can be granted for sale items, clearance items, custom items, made to order items, discontinued items, seasonal or discounted items, including deposits placed on such items. We are not responsible for delays in manufacturing items noted as made to order. Any re-stocking fees imposed by the manufacturer will be the customer's responsibility and will be deducted from any refund. USM Haller Quick Ship products may be returned only if not yet delivered, and will incur a 25% restocking fee.
In addition, we cannot accept returns of large orders of the same product. A large order is one with six or more units of the same product, including the same product in different colors or finishes. If you are ordering a large quantity of an item, we encourage you to order a small quantity first to make sure it's what you need.
Please note that the original shipping charges for returns of an order are non-refundable and non-creditable, unless you received an item in error. To ensure a successful ordering process we recommend that you carefully check your order for accuracy before confirming your purchases.
When returning any item, please be sure to pack the product properly. We cannot provide a refund for any product received in damaged condition. In such a case, we will file a claim with the shipping company. In the event that the claim is denied due to poor packaging, we cannot provide a refund or credit. We will then hold your product for 30 days, after which the product will be deemed abandoned if unclaimed.
Defective, Missing and Incorrect Items
If you received defective items, items in error or are missing items from the order, please contact us within 48 hours of receipt so that we can address the issue. In the case of defective items, returned items that are found to be in working order may result in standard deductions for return shipping (see above). If requested, and in the case of made to order products, defective items will be replaced or repaired by the supplier at no additional cost to the customer.
Return Authorizations
You will need to obtain a Return Authorization Number prior to shipping an item back for a refund, credit or exchange. This will allow our customer service team to provide you with proper return instructions as well as updating your order record. Please contact us to obtain authorization prior to shipping. Include the number, date and name on the invoice for fastest service. Allow up to 3 business days to receive your Return Authorization Number. Items returned without this number will not receive credit, refund or exchanges due, and may not be returned to the customer unless return shipping is paid for.
The images shown on our website have been provided to give customers a visual representation of our products. However, due to variations in monitor settings and calibrations, variations in color printing performance, variations in lighting sources, color changes to natural and synthetic materials as they age, normal color and finish variations among natural products, and other variables associated with photographic and rendered imagery as well as with products, we cannot guarantee that actual products will be an exact match to their representation on our website or any material sample received by the customer. Nor can we guarantee that all configurations of products as shown on the images are necessarily attainable, as products do change specifications on occasion and suppliers do not consistently provide sellers with up to date information on these changes.

What better inspiration for a wine rack than a bunch of grapes? Grape is a modular wine rack that can be mounted on a wall, placed on a table top or sat on a floor. Interlock multiple units for a growing wine collection in all sorts of appealing configurations.
The rack is made of expanded polypropylene, which is a 100 percent non-toxic, recyclable closed cell foam. Because it's both light weight and strong, the material is used as a packing material for high-end electronic goods which need maximum protection with minimal added weight during shipping. Reducing shipping weight has the added benefit of lowering the carbon footprint too, adding to the material's environmentally friendly qualifications.
One unit holds 12 bottles and measures 23 5/8 x 15 3/4 x 7 (60 x 40 x 17.7 cm). Grape is sized to accommodate Champagne-sized bottles too.
Robert Bronwasser designed Grape in 2007. Son of an architect, Brownwasser is the principal of Smool, an award-winning and widely exhibited design firm based in Amsterdam. Grape is manufactured in The Netherlands by Goods.

Exercise and Physical Therapy
Non-Surgical Treatments for Joint
There are a variety of effective treatment options for joint pain that don't require surgery. Generally, non-surgical treatments use a combination of these approaches:
Anti-Inflammatory Medications
There are two types of anti-inflammatory medications that can be used to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain -- non-steroidal and steroids.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce inflammation and pain by blocking the production of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. Possible side effects from these drugs include stomach pain, heartburn, stomach ulcers, increased risk of cardiovascular disease and general bleeding.
You can purchase some NSAIDs over the counter. Generic medication names are listed first followed by brand names.
You will need a prescription from your doctor for these higher-dose NSAIDs:
A new classification of NSAIDs, called Cox-2 inhibitors, can also be effective in decreasing pain. They are less likely to cause side effects. A prescription is necessary for Celebrex (generic name is celecoxib), the only Cox-2 inhibitor available in the US.
Corticosteroids, such as prednisone and cortisone, are the most commonly prescribed steroids. These drugs simulate cortisol, the naturally occurring, anti-inflammatory hormone produced by your adrenal glands. A doctor may prescribe corticosteroids if NSAIDs are not effective. They can be injected or taken orally.
There can be problems related to ongoing steroid treatment. Hormonal imbalances can occur from taking doses greater than your body's natural production of cortisol. Side effects -- which can include high blood pressure, insomnia and bruising -- are more likely to occur with oral steroids.
Synvisc, the brand name of hyaluronan, can relieve pain and stiffness caused by arthritis and delay the need for joint replacement surgery. Hyaluronan is a natural component of normal joint fluid that lubricates joints.
This treatment typically requires a series of three injections into the joint, one week apart. Synvisc can alleviate arthritis symptoms for up to six months. Synvisc injections don't produce serious side effects. Mild flare-ups of inflammation may occur in a treated joint, but usually settle down within a few days.
Other brand names of hyaluronan include Orthovisc, Euflexxa, and Supartz.
Consult your primary care physician or an orthopedist for more guidance about anti-inflammatory medication treatments.
Exercise and physical therapy may relieve your joint pain by improving the strength and flexibility of your joint and leg muscles. Exercise programs can include riding a stationary bike, light weight training and flexibility work outs.
A specially-trained physical therapist can work with you and your orthopedist to develop an effective, personalized care plan. A therapist can also help you stay on track to achieve long-term results for many conditions that limit your ability to move. Boulder Community Health offers two physical therapy options.

Lightning-sparked fires prompt evacuations
Lightning strikes sparked dozens of fires in central Washington state and have prompted scores of evacuations.
Police Sgt. John Kruse said late Sunday night that residents of about 180 homes just west of Wenatchee have been urged to evacuate.
Kruse said the 500-acre blaze, known as the Canyon Fire, probably isn't the largest of the new blazes, but is nearest to an urban area. It started around 2 p.m. Sunday and is burning sage and grass. There are 40 homes under level 3 evacuations and 100 under level 2 evacuations.
There's also two massive fires near Grand Coulee. The Barker Canyon Fire started around 5 p.m. Sunday and has burned about 10,000 acres. The Leahy Junction Fire started around 5:45 p.m. Sunday. It has burned about 1,700 acres.
About 60 residents have been evacuated from Grand Coulee, and the hospital is on standby to evacuate.
Fire officials said severe storms that moved through the region east of the Cascades late Saturday sparked 70 to 80 wildfires.
So far there have been no injuries, and just one outbuilding has been destroyed.
Officials said fire crews from across the state are mobilizing.
Meanwhile, firefighters are continuing to fight the 1,614-acre White Salmon fire, which is 50 percent contained.

I am new to this site and just need some advice on what to do about the following....
My 5 month old baby boy is having a hard time going down at night for me since the beginning of this month. First off, he has never really slept through for more than 3 days in a row. The last time he gave me a full 8 hours of sleep was Christmas Eve. I nurse him every 3 1/2 hours and just recently his nursing times went from 40 mins to 6-7 minutes...guess he's more efficient?
Anywho, we are having a really hard time getting him to stay asleep at night w/o waking up due to burps or gas. We try burping him for 10 mins and sometimes to no avail. We do give him gas drops which do not seem to work either...he sometimes is in pain with gas when he wakes up at night. Since Jan. 8th, Keegan has gotten up around 11:30pm, only 3 1/2 hours after his bedtime. Within that time frame though, he gets up roughly 3-6 more times sometimes due to gas other times we have no clue. I do not know if he is hungry but after the 4 hour mark from his last feed, I nurse him b/c that seems to be the only way to get him back to sleep. I am not sure if I am creating the habit of him getting up to eat at 11:30, but I have no idea what else to do b/c he just screams and screams! I never had this issue with my 2 1/2 year old who slepr through at 6 weeks. She never had any gas or burp issues either, so this is all new to me. Keegan used to sleep from 8pm to 2am but has not slept that long in a while. It seems like he is just all over the charts when it comes to bedtime.
During the day, Keegan does very well! His naps are great and he is still swaddled for naps and at night. We tried to not swaddle him but he would not have it. He does fight being swaddled sometimes but once he is wrapped up, he naps very well. Is this normal for a 5 month old to be swaddled? My 2 1/2 year old did not anything to do with swaddling after 12 weeks and took to it perfectly. Keegan is the total opposite.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated b/c we are so exhausted when it comes to bedtime...it takes a lot out of us.

- 11 Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
- 12 Will there be e-mail and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
How much luggage am I allowed to bring to Guinea?
Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess charges for transport of baggage that exceeds those limits. Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits. The Peace Corps' allowance is two checked pieces of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and a carry-on bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Under Peace Corps policy, checked baggage should not exceed 80 pounds total with a maximum weight of 50 pounds for any one bag. However, in the event the weight and size allowances of the airline are greater than the maximum allowed by Peace Corps you may choose to bring baggage that measures up to the maximum allowable weight and size by the airline. Please note, Peace Corps will only insure the delivery of baggage meeting Peace Corps' weight and size policy and will not pay for any excess baggage beyond the allowable weight and size issued by the airline. Please contact the appropriate airline for specific baggage details once you have received your travel itinerary from Peace Corps.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets, weapons, explosives, radio transmitters (short-wave radios are permitted), automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids such as lighter fluid, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol containers. Please check the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website for a detailed list of permitted and prohibited items at http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/ permitted-prohibited-items.shtm.
What is the electric current in Guinea?
It is 220 volts and approximately 50 hertz.
There is no reliable electricity anywhere in Guinea, with one possible exception: there is a small town in Upper Guinea that has a couple generators and powers the town from 7 - 11 pm daily.
During the rainy season, some larger cities will have electricity for a while every other day or perhaps even every day.
How much money should I bring?
Volunteers are expected to live at the same level as the people in their community. They are given a settling-in allowance and a monthly living allowance, which should cover their living expenses. Often Volunteers wish to bring additional money for vacation travel to other countries. Credit cards and traveler's checks are preferable to cash. If you choose to bring extra money, bring the amount that will suit your own travel plans and needs.
When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
Each Volunteer accrues two vacation days per month of service. Leave may not be taken during training, the first three months of service, or the last three months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized emergency leave. Family and friends are welcome to visit you after pre-service training and the first three months of service as long as their stay does not interfere with your work. Extended stays at your site are not encouraged and may require permission from your country director. The Peace Corps is not able to provide your visitors with visa, medical, or travel assistance.
Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
The Peace Corps does not provide insurance coverage for personal effects; Volunteers are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you can purchase personal property insurance before you leave. If you wish, you may contact your own insurance company; additionally, insurance application forms will be provided at the pre-departure orientation, and we encourage you to consider them carefully. Although it is not recommended, if you choose to bring with you expensive electronic devices, please be vigilant in your surroundings and operate them in the privacy of your home or work space or in a manner that doesn't generate much unwanted attention. Jewelry, watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places, satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.
Do I need an international driver's license?
Volunteers in Guinea do not need to get an international driver's license because they are prohibited from operating privately owned motorized vehicles. Most urban travel is by bus or taxi. Rural travel ranges from buses and minibuses to bicycles and lots of walking.
What should I bring as gifts for Guinean friends and my host family?
This is not a requirement. A token of friendship is sufficient. Some gift suggestions include knick-knacks for the house; pictures, books, or calendars of American scenes; souvenirs from your area; hard candies that will not melt or spoil; or photos to give away.
Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
Peace Corps sites are assigned to trainees during pre-service training, usually around the fifth week. This gives Peace Corps staff the opportunity to assess each trainee's technical and language skills prior to assigning sites, in addition to finalizing site selections with their ministry counterparts. If feasible, you may have the opportunity to provide input on your site preferences, including geographical location, distance from other Volunteers, and living conditions. However, keep in mind that many factors influence the site selection process and that the Peace Corps cannot guarantee placement where you would ideally like to be. Most Volunteers live in small towns or in rural villages and are usually within one hour from another Volunteer. Some sites require a 10- to 12-hour drive from the capital.
How can my family contact me in an emergency?
The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States, instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness or death of a family member. During normal business hours, the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580, extension 1470. After normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services duty officer can be reached at 202.638.2574. For non-emergency questions, your family can get information from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling 800.424.8580, extension 2326 or 2327.
Can I call home from Guinea?
Mobile phone technology covers all the major cities and more than a few smaller towns. Some Volunteers are able to get limited service at their sites by climbing hills or going to a specific location. Mobile coverage is rapidly expanding.
Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
Absolutely. The cellular phone networks continue to improve. Currently, there are five company that provide reliable service. In major towns, if one service doesn't work, another will. Many Volunteers used to have several phone numbers although most use Orange now because PC has set up a calling plan for unlimited calling within the PC Orange network.
If you bring a cellular phone, be sure that it will work on the frequency used in Europe, which is what is used in Guinea.
Will there be e-mail and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
The climate and environment in Guinea are very hard on electrical equipment. Additionally, if you do bring a laptop or other electronic device, it will be difficult to keep it charged as the electricity in Guinea is of poor quality and intermittent, if available at all. Electronic devices, especially computers, are also seen as valuable items and may increase the risk of theft. There is Internet and e-mail access at a few places in Conakry, including the Volunteer resource center at the Peace Corps office. All regional work stations have computers, and Internet access might be available from them from time to time.

I just need to vent a bit... My DH was nice enough to pack our car today before we left for work but he did so before I got to pack the pump with fresh parts for the day. Since the bag was not on the counter I forgot that I did not refill it! We carpooled today so I am stuck. I could try to get a ride to Babies R Us but I would not be able to sterilize the parts. I could try to get to my son around lunch but that is his nap time and if I mess with that he will be up all night. Has anyone gone 12 hours before? I really don't think I have other than at night and my body is used to doing that after 8 months. I am so scared I am going to be huge and hurting by 5:00 PM. I have never manually expressed so I don't know how to do that. Plus the idea of losing that milk makes me cringe.
I am so thankful that DHe wants to help but ANY break in my routine these days is a recipe for disaster. He brought our DS to me one morning this week before I was finished getting ready and actually got out of the house deodorant! I don't think I will ever get my brain back.
Thanks for letting me vent!!

Tony Volpone named Castleton football coachMarch 10,2014Staff Report
CASTLETON — Tony Volpone will be introduced Thursday as the third head football coach in the history of Castleton State College. Castleton Dean of Administration Scott Dikeman made the announcement Monday, with Thursday's press conference slated to begin at 12:30 p.m.
"To stand out among nearly 200 candidates really speaks to the kind of person coach Volpone is," said Dikeman, who chaired the search committee.
"There were a lot of candidates who could coach football, but coach Volpone hits the mark in every area we were looking. He's a great fit and we are excited to get him on campus in time for spring football and hit the ground running."
Volpone has spent the past seven seasons at Endicott College as associate head coach and offensive coordinator, and was instrumental in transitioning the program from a three-win team in his first season to a perennial power in the New England region.
In his time at Endicott the offense broke many program records. His squad broke or tied 11 NEFC records while producing six All-America nominations, three ECAC All-Star selections, 31 All-Conference selections, four Academic All-Americans, two NEFC Rookie of the Year award-winners and a NEFC and ECAC Player of the Year award-winner.
Volpone brings 15 years of coaching experience along with his wife Aida and young son Charlie to the Castleton community.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Last weekend I got a hankering to bake. Sometimes when I have a rough week at work, baking is the only thing that restores my sanity. It doesn't always make me happy (especially when things burn or don't go right), but it does make my world make sense again and gives me some balance.
I decided to make something I'd never made before and so consulted my copy of "Cupcakes Galore". I've made a lot of cupcakes from this book, but I'd never made the After Eight Cupcakes, so I settled on those.
These are basically chocolate mint cupcakes. The cake itself is a basic chocolate cupcake with a little mint extract added in. The frosting is Mint Buttercream, which I tinted green. I topped it with a dark chocolate ganache.
These were good, though if I make them again, I'm going to amp up the mint flavor. I
felt like it was a little too subtle, when I was going for more of that intense Andes mint flavor.

CNJ Staff Photo: Rick White Clovis High Football Booster Club member Eric Boydston serves brisket to a Wildcat fan during a tailgate party before Friday's nationally televised game in Artesia. Boydston's son, Aaron, plays defensive end for the Wildcats.
By Eric Butler: FNM correspondent
ARTESIA — Custodians of the parking lot at Artesia's Bulldog Bowl made sure to get out to the stadium hours before Friday night's game between Clovis and the host Bulldogs began. The reason? To block off certain prime parking spaces until two hours before kickoff.
But they were hours and hours away from keeping everyone off the lot.
At the lonely time of 12:30 a.m., in the northeast corner of the east lot, Clovis supporter Newlee Hester and friends began setting up tents, tables and brisket-cookers in preparation for a Clovis tailgate party later in the day.
"We've been cooking ever since and getting things ready," said Hester, just as all the lots were opened to cars. "We haven't slept a wink."
Hester, who lives in Lubbock, said the tailgate set-up did indeed attract the attention of local police personnel.
"We probably saw about 10 Artesia cops this morning," he said. "But we made them breakfast burritos and they were fine."
Mike Mendoza, father of Clovis quarterback Jordan Mendoza, said that around 500 to 600 people — mostly clad in purple — got themselves brisket, hot dogs and hamburgers before going to wait in a long line for tickets. Some of the fans came in a single bus, organized by the CHS football booster club, after paying $35 each for the ride.
Not all of those in the Clovis chow line were Wildcats supporters, though.
Notably conspicuous by their presence were several members of the Sons Of Thunder Pyrotechnic team, who were responsible for fireworks at different portions of the evening.
"Oh, we're doing it for Clovis people too," joked Mike Dean, justifying the isolated orange blot in the sea of purple. "This is a special thing. It's kind of nice to build up an esprit de corps."
Even an hour-and-a-half before the game began, one of Dean's predictions was fast coming true.
"This will probably be the fullest this stadium can be, I guarantee you," said the Artesia resident.
"We see all these other colleges and high schools throwing tailgate parties and we wanted to throw one of this magnitude," Mendoza said.
Asked if he was trying to deprive Artesia food establishments of revenue from Clovis fans, Mendoza didn't deny that the massive cookout surely affected one nearby business.
"Sonic wasn't too happy, needless to say," he said. "But we fed their employees for free over here. I tell you what, Artesia's opened up their arms to us and they just appreciate us being down here."

I had a serious sinus infection and I was very sick. I took one, got some rest, and recovered faster than not having any medicine at all. No side effects
Amoxicillin works really good to clear up scalp infections my son who is 17 has been put on this after being on 4 other medications. I noticed about an hour after he takes his dose his heart pounds hard and he gets anxiety. He is only on day 5 of 14 and I am afraid to have him take any more. He had the same thing with the last one which was ceffalexin (sp) He also has diharea, stomach aches, heartburn and feels very tired.
Amoxicillin gave me fluttering in my heart, I stop taking the medicine and the flutters stopped, after 2 weeks off of it, my sinus infection was back, the Dr. put me back on amoxicillin and I started having heart flutterings again
Took for Strep Throat. Bad diarrah. Wouln't take again!
This drug cured my sinus infection,(500mg, 3td, 1wk) yet it caused me to have increased emotional response to all types of stimuli: i.e.: Every fanfic makes me cry, the phone makes me enraged, I squee at the sight of my dog. Hope the effects end soon.
Taking this with vicodin made both my sister and I very sick. I threw up 4 times in 12 hours after i got my wisdom teeth taken out. If both are prescribed at the same time it is probably best to take them a few hours apart instead of swallowing them together.
Did experience side effect of black tongue, and some gastrointestinal upset.
wisdom tooth extraction
I used this for a recent/future root canal && it helped ease the pain in my tooth by killing the bacteria.
used this for 10 days at 500 mg 3 times/day. worked quickly with minimal side effects. have now taken this 3 times for tonsilitis and have had the same result each time.

About the Author: Richard Snelsire serves as Spokesman at U.S. Embassy Islamabad.
A U.S. delegation inaugurated a handmade carpet exhibition hosted by the USAID/Pakistan Jobs project and Carpet Training Institute October 5 in Lahore. The exhibition was followed by a certificate distribution ceremony to 24 successful master trainees who completed three-month training in carpet weaving using the Turkish knot.
"The U.S. is happy to honor the culture and tradition of Pakistan by supporting the carpet industry," U.S. Consul General Carmela Conroy said at the exhibition. "Together we can forge a better future for all Pakistanis."
The USAID-funded project taught 24 master trainees Turkish knot-weaving skills and these trainees are now training unemployed men and women from Southern Punjab. Once the training is completed, trainees will earn at least 50% more in wages, which will in turn benefit their communities and Pakistan as a whole. The Carpet Exhibition features over 70 contemporary and antique carpet designs produced by trainees over the last three months.
"For generations, the carpet manufacturing industry has produced high-quality, hand-woven carpets that are renowned across the world for their intricate design and beauty," said Mrs. Yasmeen Rehman, Advisor to the Ministry of Women Development. "The training provided by USAID lends key support toward the introduction of carpet weaving techniques in high demand in the international market."
The master trainers will train over 400 people in rural areas of Punjab over the next several months, and hundreds more in the coming years.

- A biological perspective on autonomous agent design
- Author(s)
- Beer, Randall D.; Chiel, Hillel J.; Sterling, Leon S.
- Abstract
- The inability of current 'classical' AI systems to handle unconstrained interaction with the real world has recently lead to a search for new control architectures for autonomous agents. We argue that simpler natural animals already exhibit most of the properties required by an autonomous agent, and suggest that designers of autonomous agents should draw directly upon the neural basis of behavior in these animals. The relevant behavioral and neurobiological literature is briefly reviewed. An artificial nervous system for controlling the behavior of a simulated insect is then developed. The design of this artificial insect is based in part upon specific behaviors and neural circuits from several natural animals. The insect exhibits a number of characteristics which are remarkably reminiscent of natural animal behavior.

I grew up with the movie ŌĆ£Bright LeafŌĆØ and still remember the final scene in which Gary Cooper, the founder of a tobacco dynasty, is destroyed by intrigue and greed (Cooper rides out of town on a mule.) There was ŌĆ£Citizen KaneŌĆØ and a wonderful film, ŌĆ£Written on the WindŌĆØ in which Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone and Rock Hudson struggle with the temptations of being oil well millionaires. Then, there was Edna FerberŌĆÖs novel/movie, ŌĆ£Giant.ŌĆØ The message is clear: excessive power and privilege lead to self- destruction.
Philipp MeyerŌĆÖs massive novel comes to the same conclusion, but it does it with stunning brilliance. This may be the best novel ever written about the winning and losing of the West. Beginning with a horrific massacre in which a Comanche war party rapes, scalps and murders Eli McCulloughŌĆÖs mother and sister, The Son continues through the slaughter of the Garcias, a large Mexican family some 50 years later.
These two bloody events stand like bookends in this novel. The child, Eli McCullough (born in 1836), survived the Comanche slaughter to become the adopted son of the Comanche war chief, Toshaway. In time, Eli ŌĆ£becomes a Comanche,ŌĆØ adept with the bow and lance and even rides on raiding parties, taking scalps. Eventually, he returns to ŌĆ£the white worldŌĆØ where, despite numerous setbacks (he is regarded as a savage and a barbarian who has an uncontrollable need to steal horses), Eli gradually becomes ŌĆ£acceptableŌĆØ (shrewd and ruthless). In time, he is one of the wealthiest and most powerful ranchers in Texas.
There is a paradox here. EliŌĆÖs survival skills ŌĆö which include courage, ambition and fortitude ŌĆö are of a dual nature. His fierce devotion to family and his need to acquire and dominate the natural world eventually transforms him into a force that both destroys and creates. It is Eli who contrives the scheme to murder the Garcia family, a crime that will haunt his descendants for generations. In fact, despite repeated attempts to burn and bury it, the ruins of the Garcia farm remains in the center of the McCullough holdings like a silent accusation
Although The Son covers five generations of McCulloughs, it is the founder, Eli, who remains a controlling force, even after his death. As the family wealth passes from cattle to oil wells, foreign politics and massive ŌĆ£investments,ŌĆØ the family not only survives but flourishes. During times of war, many of the familyŌĆÖs most gifted perish. Alcoholism and drugs take a toll, yet the McCullough Empire continues like a heedless machine that consumes, obliterates and feeds itself on the wreckage.
Eli McCulloughŌĆÖs legacy is guilt. At times, EliŌĆÖs descendants come to resemble the members of a ŌĆ£cursed houseŌĆØ in Greek tragedy. Those who reject the McCullough name and seek out a livelihood in another country do not escape since they continue to benefit from McCullough wealth.
Much of The Son is narrated by Peter McCullough, EliŌĆÖs grandson who spends much of his life doing penance for the ŌĆ£sins of the fathers.ŌĆØ Despised by his grandfather and trapped in a loveless marriage, Peter lives a hermitŌĆÖs existence while keeping a detailed history of the family in his journals. Then, he is visited by Maria Garcia, the mentally unstable sole survivor of the Garcia massacre. The two begin a troubled relationship and Maria becomes a resident of the McCullough mansion where she wanders the dark halls at night and plays her motherŌĆÖs old piano (which had been ŌĆ£acquiredŌĆØ by Eli after the massacre of the Garcia family). The aging Eli tells Peter to get rid of Maria, but Peter refuses.
Finally, there is Jennie McCullough, the reluctant heir of the McCullough fortunes. Stubborn, spunky, defiant and resentful of her brotherŌĆÖs attempts to advise her, Jennie strives to manage the familyŌĆÖs wealth which she fully understands was acquired by theft, corruption and brute force. As Texas roars into the 20th century, Jennie accepts her destiny. In many ways, her world view is the same as EliŌĆÖs, and like him she rules by instinct, knowing that she is being watched by all of the people who are dependent on her: work hands, family and lovers. Her presence and her character are memorable ŌĆö a brilliant portrayal of a lonely, driven woman.
Ironically, Jennie meets Edna Ferber, the author of Giant who comes to the McCullough ranch while sheŌĆÖs doing research. Jennie is not impressed and found the James Dean movie ŌĆ£overstatedŌĆØ and ŌĆ£exaggerated.ŌĆØ However, it is obvious that Ferber found something vital in her visit, something that she managed to capture in the both the book and film.
It is important to comment on the scope of this novel and the background of the American West that Phillip Mayer captures in all of its grandeur. Here is the passing of Native Americans, buffalo herds and the vast vistas of natural beauty, all captured in that brief instant before they vanish forever. The Son is witness to this passing. Men like Eli McCullough destroyed it in a rampage of unsurprising greed and gluttony. Like Cormac McCarthyŌĆÖs Blood Meridian and John WilliamsŌĆÖ ButcherŌĆÖs Crossing, here is the American West in all of its tragic glory.
This is a bloody book and it is filled with sexually explicit passages that may make some readers wince. There is a raw energy in The Son that resonates in all the senses. The reader will have the opportunity to smell, taste, hear and see a vanquished world. I suggest that you take your time and savor it.


text: Spring was over months ago, so why am I still sneezing? Seasonal allergies are a pain, but at least there is an end in sight. Indoor allergies are a completely different thing and can go on all year long. One of the biggest causes of indoor allergies is pet dander. Whether you just don't want to give up your favorite furry friend, or you want to make your house more accessible to friends who have pet allergies, there are easy ways to reduce the amount of indoor allergens in your home. The two most common ones are dust and dander, other common triggers are cleaning supplies, transfer of pollen from outdoors, and irritants found in things like paint, adhesives and other household goods. First step, switch to eco-friendly cleaning solutions and opt for low- to no-VOC paints. Now let's get control of these household allergens! Continue reading

Leonardo Santos
Kelly Whitney 6'8 PF Seton Hall Undrafted
TUESDAY 23rd

we could really use another explosive high energy player like robinson in david noel, who btw won the ncaa dunk contest.
Out of all those players, the Brazilian looks like the only one with some hopes of making an impact in the NBA. The guy averaged 3 blocks per game? Nice, just what we need.
desde la cuna del chango
TODAY as well as Larry Brown, 6'7 Indiana Forward Marco Killingsworth was also in attendence. he is projected to be a early second round pick.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
is there any way to get real, honest opinions from these workouts?
desde la cuna del chango
not unless you ask Isiah or Larry. but both of those opinions are tainted.
the players themselves speak but they'll just kiss ass in interviews.
its hard to say but if i get any word ill put it here first
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
Maurice Ager 6-5 SG Michigan State Late 1st Rounder
Curtis Stinson 6'3 SG Iowa State Second Round Bubble
were also added to Tuesdays workouts
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
bulls have "OUR" second pick of the draft while toronto has the first. colangelo will have the pick of the litter while we get table scraps this year. actually, there are some worthy picks this year too. so, should we trade up and work something for mike james? or just stay where we are in the draft situation?
Would COlangelo want Stephon back? I'd trade him and our two picks for Mike James, their top pick (and grab Tyrus Thomas) and whatever trash they want to send us to make the deal work.
But I doubt Colangelo would tarde that pick... wonder who'll the Raps would go for in that spot since they got Bosh upfront.
desde la cuna del chango
How about trading our 20th overall and Steve Francis ($15 mil) for the Raptors No. 1 overall pick and Alvin Williams ($6 mil)?
Trading the 29th overall pick and Stephon Marbury ($18 mil) to Atlanta for the 4th overall pick and some cap filler? Atlanta has the cap room to absorb Marbury's contract.
Both Marbury and Francis are 29 years old with three years left on there contracts. We must trade them now.
I don't think Atlanta would go for that... maybe they'll go for Stephon, Jalen and both of our picks for a resigned Harrington, their top pick and trash. I'd go for that and draft Gay or Morrison, if available.
The Raps would definitely not go for that and if they did I'd want a resigned Mike James instead of Alvin Williams.
oOOps, wrong thread...
desde la cuna del chango
Draftexpress.com has excellent stuff on draft prospects, including workouts.
Although I haven't seen anything on the Knicks workouts, I must say that the Rudy Gay and Steve Novak workouts seem enticing.
desde la cuna del chango
Tuesday May 30th
Josh Boone 6-10 PF Connecticut First Round Bubble
Shannon Brown 6'4 SG Michigan State Late First Round Pick
Mardy Collins 6'6 PG Temple Mid-First Round pick
Cedrick Simmons 6'9 PF North Carolina State Lottery Pick
Josh Boone is a favorite of mine and someone we can reasonably get with the 20th or 29th pick of this years draft. Long, athletic and can BLOCK SHOTS!
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
Wednesday May 31st
The Knicks worked out two players projected to be undrafted.
6'9 PF Kenny Adeleke of Hartford
6'6 SG Dan Grunfeld of Stanford
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
Am I the only one that doesnt give a crap about this? We lost our #1 pick or traded it away for Curry. That's it! Nothing else really to talk about. Any one we draft will most likily be traded away or waved.
