Ryan Giggs called time on a remarkable 24-year career as a Manchester United player on Monday, on the same day he was announced as assistant manager to Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford.
Here's Giggs' open letter to fans, in which he wrote about, "a chapter filled with many emotions," and reflected on a playing career that brought 34 major trophies.
And here's the best of the Twitter reaction to Giggs' retirement, and his new role alongside Van Gaal.

Rated 4.8 out of 5�by 287 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Fied Teeter Table Talk Was having issues with nerves getting pinched in my back and neck. I still like to run and lift weights (at age 57), but I hear all kinds of body joint noises while lifting or stretching before running. Thought this product would help both situations. I've been amazed by one thing - if you do some of the recommended exercises on this thing, you will greatly improve your flexibility. I have neck, shoulder, arm and hip flexibility that I thought I lost years ago. It also relieves your back and stretches you slightly, making you taller for a short while. I definitely feel better after using it, but I haven't been using it long enough to see of some of the pains in my lower back will clear up. I'm still trying to figure out the exercises that will align my back the way a chiropractor can do it. The plastic bed can be uncomfortable on the tail bone if you do exercises without being completely inverted. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. October 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ron321 Only Trust Teeter Confident in the integrity of the Teeter Inversion table, because if your going to hang upside down, the worst thing you could do is go cheap. Pay the money and get something you can trust will hold you, especially over time and use. Glad we bought it, and thankful that we had a Dick's staff member really take time to explain everything in detail. We took the floor model already assembled, but unfortunately we realized that the manual and DVD would have come if we had it in the box. No worries, as everything can be found online.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Calbson1 I own 3 Now Went to a Chiropractor for 7 years. Never got the relief as fast and for as long, as I get with my inversion tables. I travel a lot, so I have them scattered at the frequents stops, and they never fail to relieve the kinks and inots from the road, and Hotel beds !! October 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by hippie54 Product is sturdy, easy to follow directions Back feels better after 1 wk for both of us. My husband has better range of motion without pain already!! September 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Marilyne My leg pain is gone!! I am 62 years old and extremely active. Eight months ago I started have pain in both legs, severe enough to make rising from a sitting position unbearable. Needless to say, all activity came to a grinding hault. Massage, heat, ice, stretching, nothing helped. I saw the Teeter infomercial and began to wonder if maybe I had a back problem even though my back didn't hurt. The money back Guarantee was my incentive. Relief from the pain in my legs was instantaneous. I bought the Teeter on a Wednesday night, assembled it myself on Thursday and walked 3 miles Saturday AM. I've been doing 4 miles a day every day since! The pain is gone and stays at bay with regular sessions. September 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by AdamH2P Great Product! I have used similar products in the past and have really enjoyed the benefits of inversion, but this is by far the most comfortable. Adjusts quickly and easily. Ankle supports are very comfortable and hold well. The adjustable lumbar support helps give a little extra stretch. September 13, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Argo Does as I hoped This is helping my back issues from spinal arthritis (stenosis, degenerative disk, pinched nerves, etc.) Have used for two weeks, will be interested in how I feel after several months using asnow have issues with walking because of lower back. Four stars because did not get the latest and greatest unit. Need one for other house so will get the 970. It is large but will fold to go against wall if needed. Feel totally safe when using, instructions could be improved upon for assembly. Ordered online to pick up at Merriam, KS location. The staff was great! I was greeted the minute I walked in on a Saturday, August 20th in the evening and they made sure all went super smooth, including lowering seats on my vehicle and moving some items to get in Equinox.

Rated 5 out of 5�by granny NO MORE BACK PAIN I've had chronic back pain for as long as I can remember. I'd been going to the chiropractor 3X a week and it was costly. I bought this machine on the advice of my daughter. Lo and behold my back pain was gone. No more headaches, no more chiropractor, no more taking over the counter pain remedies. This works!! It more than paid for itself when I saved money from not going to the chiropractor. I am a 75 year old . My life has changed. Don't hesitate to give this a try. Just a minute or 2, once or twice a day. Highly recommend!! September 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Terry Solid and options Super easy to put together, solid material, and plenty of comfort options for back support. I use it everyday for 5 to 10 minute. Back feel great!!! August 30, 2016

Gyamfi, Cynthia MD*; Berkowitz, Richard L. MD†
From the *Division of Maternal–Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, New York; and the †Division of Maternal–Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Columbia University, New York, New York.
Address reprint requests to: Cynthia Gyamfi, MD, Division of Maternal–Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, The Mount Sinai Medical Center, 5 East 98th Street, Box 1171, New York, NY 10029; e-mail: email@example.com.
Received February 27, 2004. Received in revised form May 14, 2004. Accepted May 21, 2004.
OBJECTIVE: To review the treatment options presented on the New York State Health Care Proxy for Jehovah's Witnesses, which is signed by pregnant women when they present for care.
METHODS: Chart reviews were performed for all women who presented to labor and delivery at our institution from 1997 to 2002 and identified themselves as Jehovah's Witnesses. A patient was included in the study if a completed health care proxy was available in her chart. Data were derived from the health care proxy and from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine's Blood Product Checklist for Jehovah's Witness Patients. Variables of interest included age, race, parity, and antenatal and perinatal complications.
RESULTS: A total of 61 patients were identified. Of these, 39.3% agreed to accept a variety of donated blood products, 9.8% would accept donated packed red blood cells, and 50.1% would accept neither from a homologous donor. With respect to nonstored autologous blood, 55% of respondents would accept either intraoperative normovolemic hemodilution or transfusion of their own blood obtained by a cell salvage system. No significant differences in responses were noted for any of the above-mentioned variables.
CONCLUSION: This review refutes the commonly held belief that all Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to accept blood or any of its products. In this population of pregnant women, the majority were willing to accept some form of blood or blood products. This information can be used to help health care providers counsel a patient when she is initially faced with considering these issues and may help to remove the stigma of accepting one of the options.

Jehovah's Witnesses compose a unique patient population that requires special consideration for medical management. This Christian sect was founded in Pennsylvania by Charles Russel in 1872.1 Their refusal to accept blood and/or blood products, which makes them a unique medical population, is derived from a literal interpretation of Genesis 9 and Leviticus 17, which state that one cannot eat from the bread of life.1 This doctrine became incorporated to the Jehovah's Witness belief system after a church decision in 1945.2
For many healthy female Jehovah's Witnesses, the first time the issue of accepting blood or blood products is addressed is during their initial prenatal visit when they identify their religious beliefs on a demographics fact sheet. These beliefs are pertinent because "obstetrics is bloody business."3 A pregnant women faces a 5% risk of sustaining a significant hemorrhage during the course of her gestation.3 Bleeding may occur antepartum, as in the case of placenta previa or abruption, or following delivery from uterine atony or genital tract lacerations. Klapholz4 reported a 2% transfusion rate for women who delivered at Beth Israel Hospital in 1986. Furthermore, when a Jehovah's Witness develops an obstetric hemorrhage, she has a 44-fold increased risk of dying because of her refusal to accept transfusions.5
Issues related to the acceptance of blood and blood products should be resolved with all patients before delivery. At the Mount Sinai Medical Center, a pregnant woman identifying herself as a Jehovah's Witness undergoes counseling by a maternal–fetal medicine specialist who explains the available options for her subsequent prenatal care. A New York State Health Care Proxy (NYHPHL #2980–2994; http://greenjournal.org/cgi/content/full/104/3/541/DC1) and Mount Sinai Blood Product Checklist (http://greenjournal.org/cgi/content/full/104/3/541/DC2) are reviewed with her. These forms list various alternatives for patients requiring transfusion, including receipt of blood and blood products, in addition to other anesthetic or surgical interventions.
The counseling process can become difficult when the patient is not sure how to proceed and seeks advice from her physician. She may want to know how other Jehovah's Witnesses have reacted when faced with the same choices. A review of the MEDLINE database from January 1966 to May 2004, using the keyword "Jehovah's Witness," shows that, before this study, there was no information in the medical literature to address this aspect of counseling. This chart review was performed to examine the responses by Jehovah's Witnesses on their health care proxies to determine the percentage of patients who were agreeable to each of the various options.
A chart review of all women who presented to labor and delivery at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and identified themselves as Jehovah's Witnesses between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 2002, was undertaken. The self-reporting of religion is part of the routine demographic information obtained on admission from all patients at our institution. Any woman with a completed New York State Health Care Proxy (NYSPHL #2980–2994) available in her chart was included in this study. That document, specifically designed for Jehovah's Witnesses, begins by citing the origin of their beliefs. Inquiries are then made regarding end-of-life decisions and the patient's willingness to accept blood or blood products or nonstored autologous blood. When filling out the form, the patient is asked to place her initials next to the acceptable interventions, or she has the option to check "none." In addition to this form, Mount Sinai School of Medicine has a blood product checklist for Jehovah's Witness patients that lists 6 options: whole blood, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, albumin, isolated factor preparations, and none of the above. This form does not specifically address the acceptance of autologous blood. It also differs from the health care proxy in that "whole blood" is an option on this form, whereas it is not an option on the health care proxy. The patients sign and date both forms once they have listed their choices. Whereas the health care proxy was required for inclusion in the study and was available for all patients, the blood product checklist was not. The wishes were congruent on both forms, with the term "whole blood" only available on the Mount Sinai form.
Statistical analysis of the data from these 2 forms was performed using χ2 test for the categorical variables to evaluate differences in responses based on patient characteristics. Variables of interest included age, race, parity, and antenatal and perinatal complications. Age and parity were also examined as categorical variables. Age categories were less than 35 and 35 years or more, and parity categories were primiparous and multiparous. The study was approved by the Mount Sinai Institutional Review Board.
The study population included a total of 61 patients. The patient characteristics are listed in Table 1. Pregnancy complications included pre-existing maternal medical conditions, such as asthma, chronic hypertension, and sickle cell disease, medical conditions presenting in pregnancy, like pyelonephritis and appendicitis, and medical complications of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, preterm premature rupture of membranes, and gestational diabetes. Of 61 patients, 32.8% had one or more pregnancy-related complications, whereas 16.4% had a pre-existing maternal medical condition. Intrapartum and postpartum complications, such as postpartum hemorrhage, chorioamnionitis, and endomyometritis were experienced by 12.1% of the patients.
With respect to donated blood or blood products, there were 3 options: whole blood, some amount of blood products, or no blood (or blood products). Whole blood was accepted by 9.8% of respondents, 39.3% agreed to accept some blood products, and 50.1% would not accept either blood or blood products. With respect to autologous (one's own) blood, there were 2 options: hemodilution and intra- or postoperative cell salvage. Of these options, 55% would accept intraoperative hemodilution, and 46% would accept the use of a cell salvage system. Of the patients who refused donated packed red blood cells, 43.6% would accept some autologous blood products (P = .009, 95% confidence interval of the difference 0.27–0.52). No significant differences in responses were noted for any of the above-mentioned variables (Table 2).
The sample size (n = 61) is small. The maximum margin of error corresponding to this sample size is ±12.6% at 95% confidence intervals. This basically means that, 95% of the time, the same results would be obtained within 12.6%.
The refusal of Jehovah's Witnesses to accept blood or blood products stems from their interpretation of the previously mentioned Old Testament passages from the Christian Bible. Their tradition teaches that receiving blood products may lead to excommunication and eternal damnation, and an individual who offers to transfuse blood is considered by many members of the sect to be acting under the devil's influence.6 It is with this background that a pregnant Jehovah's Witness initially approaches a health care proxy.
Obstetric hemorrhage is not infrequent. Approximately 2% of women who present to a labor and delivery floor will require a blood transfusion,4 and as previously stated, this can lead to a 44-fold increased risk of maternal mortality if the patient refuses all transfusion therapy.5 For many young female Jehovah's Witnesses, filling out the health care proxy is the first time they have been directly confronted with the necessity to make a personal commitment to their religious beliefs.
The New York State Health Care Proxy is specific to Jehovah's Witnesses. It begins by stating that, as a member of that sect, the person signing the form refuses all homologous or stored autologous blood. The form then lists several blood fractions and gives the Jehovah's Witness the option to accept all, some, or none of those products. These include albumin, erythropoietin, synthesized clotting factors, and Rh immune globulin (RhoGAM, Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc, Raritan, NJ). With respect to nonstored autologous blood, the patient has the option of accepting hemodilution, intraoperative or postoperative salvage of her own blood, or none of the above. Normovolemic hemodilution, a technique performed by an anesthesiologist, involves removing a quantity of the patient's whole blood in the immediate preoperative period, and replacing it with crystalloid or colloid solutions.7 When this technique is used, the blood lost during the operative case is low in red cells, and because the oxygen dissociation curve is shifted to the right, the oxygen-carrying capacity is optimized. At the end of the case, the previously removed autologous blood is returned to the patient.7 The form concludes by discussing end-of-life issues and enables the patient to record any other instructions she may want to convey. At Mount Sinai School of Medicine, an additional checklist was used during the years covered in this review. The difference between this list and the New York State Health Care Proxy is that donated "whole blood" is an option on the Mount Sinai form, whereas it is not an option on the state's health care proxy.
A patient's decision about how to respond to the questions asked on these forms is very personal. They often look to their church leaders, family members, and health care providers for guidance. On some occasions the pregnant woman's belief system may be different from that of her family members, which is why she should be allowed to make these decisions on her own, in the absence of outside influences.
No blood transfusions occurred in this series of patients. Of those patients with pregnancy complications, 5 had bleeding complications, including 2 postpartum hemorrhages, 1 placenta previa with bleeding, 1 retained placenta with the loss of 500 mL of blood, and 1 placenta accreta. Interestingly, all of these patients refused blood or blood products. The patient with placenta accreta had a history of a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC). She attempted a second VBAC in the current pregnancy, but suffered a postpartum hemorrhage so severe that she underwent an exploratory laparotomy with hysterectomy to control the hemorrhage. During the surgery she entered into disseminated intravascular coagulation, and her status deteriorated quickly. She died on the operating table. Her family members could not agree on whether or not to give her blood products, but it may not have made a difference because of her sudden deterioration. Anecdotally, there are certainly instances in which patients have changed their minds in the absence of outside influences or once bleeding complications have occurred; however, that was not the case in this series.
When a physician counsels a Jehovah's Witness, there are several ethical and medicolegal considerations that should be explored.6 This review demonstrates that this is the first query of its kind to look at what the actual responses of pregnant Jehovah's Witnesses have been when faced with the realization that they will have with a 2% risk of requiring transfusion. The knowledge that about 50% of patients in this series agreed to accept blood or some blood products may be of value to physicians in counseling other women who will soon undergo labor and delivery and may assist those patients in making their decisions. This review is not meant to coerce any patient's decision, but it may help put some women at ease when they feel that they are deviating from their belief system. Such a patient is not alone in this circumstance, and that knowledge may make the difference between life and death when an unexpected hemorrhage occurs.

In advance of its February meeting, the Committee released its draft recommendations, available here: http://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/acsec/draft-committee-recommendations-statement-020113.pdf. The Committee recommends that the SEC adopt rules to increase tick sizes for smaller exchange-listed companies and permit issuers to choose their own tick sizes within certain SEC-specified ranges. The Committee also recommends that the SEC facilitate and encourage the creation of a separate U.S. equity market for small and emerging companies open to sophisticated investors. Many may be aware of the BX Venture Market, but that has not been approved as a "national securities exchange" and being considered a national securities exchange would be essential for the listed securities to be considered "covered securities" for blue sky purposes. State securities law preemption is the most significant consideration from a capital-raising perspective and would need to be addressed were any new market to be created.
The Committee also addresses the fact that the disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies may need to be reviewed and revised so that smaller reporting companies benefit from certain of the accommodations provided to EGCs by the JOBS Act. Finally, the Committee suggests a modified threshold for the "smaller reporting company" definition.

Help our friends Frank and Jaime Carnucci by donating to this fund to help them cover their medical costs. Thank you for your support! #CarnucciStrong
This is what happened to Jaime
A couple of weeks ago Jaime had an accident. Hanging out with friends, she took a dive into shallow water and broke her neck. Specifically her C5 vertebrae. With the remarkable help of friends close by, she was held steady in the water until paramedics arrived. Her surgeon that night explained that the front part of that vertebrae was crushed and fragments were pressing against the spinal cord, which was the reason she was unable to move the lower half of her body, and had only limited use of the upper half. He and his staff performed an absolute miracle that night with surgery. The next morning she had a little movement in her right leg, foot and toes. Jaime's a fighter. Wife, mother of two, very athletic and headstrong. The doctor saw her progress and was confident enough to perform the second surgery to the backside of that same vertebrae just a few days later. She's been recovering since then, every day looking for very small gains. We're currently awaiting to be transported to a top-notch rehab facility, where she will stay and fight this battle to regain all her functions again.
This is Jaime's current condition:
Currently, she can move her shoulders, arms, elbows, and wrist. Very little use of her fingers, so she can't grip things yet. She'll be in a brace/collar for a few more weeks as her neck muscles strengthen. She can move her right leg, foot and wiggle those toes, but can't actually lift that leg yet. Her left leg is being stubborn, no movement yet. She does have sensation all over, which is a great sign. The doctors are "cautiously optimistic" that she can recover fully. With spinal cord injuries, there are really no rules to go by. This outcome will be based squarely on Jaime's body and mind and her work in rehab. But she's young, healthy and has never backed down from a fight in her life, and this will be no different. We've been overwhelmed with the well wishes, prayers, and support from everyone. We'll never be able to thank you all fully, but Jaime promises she will make it all worth it.

Sun Updates MySQL Carrier-Grade Clustered Database
Published: July 15, 2008
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It is no secret that server maker Sun Microsystems got its real start in the server racket when telecommunications companies stopped wanting to buy proprietary minicomputers and mainframes to run their vast billing and application systems and started using Unix gear instead. With the dot-com buildout in the latter half of the 1990s, Sun expanded its market to include various kinds of service providers, including those who sell Internet services, as well as to the companies that make network switching equipment, or NEPs.
These three parts of the market--telcos, NEPs, and service providers--are still a key driver of sales at Sun, thanks in large measure to the popularity of Solaris among these companies, not the least of which because it is a rugged, nearly real-time implementation of Unix that still has some features that stock Linux does not. Applications and databases drive platform choices, as they have from the beginning of the computer business, and are one of the reasons why Sun shelled out $1 billion in cash to acquire open source database management system maker MySQL in January of this year. The combination of Solaris and MySQL--particularly the carrier-grade extensions of MySQL--allow Sun to protect a market that Linux players want to take over.
Sun has to play both sides of the fence--Solaris and Linux--with MySQL, of course, and it continues to do so with the recently announced MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition 6.3 extensions to the MySQL database. This software, which is already used inside switching systems made by Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia, Nortel, and Siemens Networks, is being updated in the 6.3 release with a number of new features to make it more appealing to NEPs, telcos, and service providers and more competitive with the DB2, Oracle, Sybase, and Informix closed source alternatives. MySQL Cluster is what is known as a shared-nothing database clustering extension to the MySQL database, which means you gang up a bunch of servers to host a single instance of the database and you add more servers to increase its capacity. Sun claims that MySQL Cluster can deliver 99.999 percent uptime and millisecond response times on transactions. The Carrier Grade Edition of MySQL Cluster has optimizations and database access methods keyed to the telcos, service providers, and NEPs.
The big new feature in release 6.3 is geographical replication, which allows the asynchronous replication of MySQL Cluster databases across long distances, thereby allowing workload balancing and high availability at the same time. The updated MySQL Cluster also has what Sun is calling disk-based data support, which is in contrast to a memory-resident database setup, which telco and service providers often use to speed up transactions on their networks. With the 6.3 release, persistent data (usually data files like images or other media) can be stored on disk drives while transactional data can be stored in memory--all in a single database. This balances performance for transactions with capacity for media rich files. Finally, MySQL Cluster 6.3 has an online database schema tool that will, for instance, allow a database administrator to add a column to a database table while the database is still online and applications are still running.
MySQL Cluster runs on Solaris, HP-UX, Mac OS X, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. For whatever reason, neither MySQL nor Sun has supported AIX with the MySQL Cluster software, and Sun is not talking about the HP-UX support in its announcement even though it is there.

Contract-free cell service used to be the hallmark of upstart and prepaid carriers. But with T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon all now offering no-contract plans, Consumer Reports crunched the numbers to see if they'll save you money.
"With no-contract deals you typically get lower monthly charges, but the plans can charge hefty price tags for the phones themselves."
Consumer Reports compared cell-phone plans for three types of people: an average, single-user; a low-use couple; and a high-use family of four. In all cases, Verizon is more expensive without a contract than with one. For the family of four, the contract-free "Edge" plan costs more than $7,200, for two years of service and four new iPhones.
With a two-year contract, that same family would pay $6,540. With AT&T, the family of four would actually save by choosing the no-contract service arrangement. T-Mobile's no-contract deal is even better for the family of four: $5,6000. And they'll save even more if they bring their own phones. The price goes down to $3,364 dollars.
Margot Gilman said, "Your phone has to be compatible with the new network, and you'll need to switch out the phone's SIM card for a new one, but that can cost little or nothing."
As for the low-use couple and the individual user, Consumer Reports says Consumer Cellular's no-contract service, with installment payments for the phones, is the best deal.

We got hit with some major snow and ice down here in North Carolina this week, and there were threats of power outages (Raleigh got a little out of control), so I decided to cook some food in advance to make sure I didn't get stuck eating Larabars and bananas with nothing pre-made in my fridge.
I had bought some new spice mixtures from Wholefoods that week, and one of the new ones I bought is called Berbere, which is a traditional Ethiopian spice blend that usually contains some kind of hot pepper, fenugreek, cloves, coriander, cumin, and cinnamon. I love Ethiopian food, and Berbere goes really well in slow cooked meat and legume dishes. I decided to try it out on a 16-ounce grass fed beef shank that I'd picked up from WholeFoods as well.
Shank is one of my favorite cuts of meat because if you cook it the right way, it comes out incredibly tender. Shank also usually has some gelatinous tissue on it as well, which breaks down during slow cooking to create a juicy, melt-in-your-mouth meat dish.
You can also use lamb shanks in this recipe, which are my absolute favorite… in fact I would have used lamb except Wholefoods had run out of lamb shanks that day! I can't complain though, because the final beef recipe was just as delicious.
The slow cooker I use is the Hamilton Beach Stovetop Slow Cooker, which I absolutely LOVE because you can pull out the pot from its base and put it on the stovetop to sear the meat, which leaves the meat much more flavorful and seals in moisture, leading to a juicier meat when it's done cooking. It also saves dishes, which is crucial for me because I truthfully hate doing dishes and the less I use while cooking, the better! This is truly an all-in-one product and I definitely think it's worth the extra money to get a more versatile crock pot.
Enjoy the recipe!

This Ethiopian-inspired slow cooked stew is perfect for cold winter nights. It has a hint of spicy warmth from the Berbere spice mix, and the mushrooms add an additional meaty texture. By slow cooking the beef shank, you end up with a tender meat that tastes delicious!
- 16-20 oz grass-fed beef shank
- 2 Tbs Berbere (Ethiopian spice mix)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup organic tomato sauce
- 2 cups chopped mushrooms (e.g. portobello, button, shitaki)
- 3 cups collard greens (can substitute kale)
- 1 Tbs light olive oil
- 2-3 cups water
- Add olive oil to large frying pan on medium heat. After oil heats up, lay beef shank in pan to brown.
- Add garlic and onions to pan.
- Sprinkle 1 Tbs of Berbere onto top of meat. Stir onions and garlic and allow to soften.
- After browning for a minute or two, flip meat over and brown other side. Add remaining 1 Tbs of Berbere to cooked side of meat. Continue stirring onions and garlic.
- Once meat has been browned, transfer entire contents of pan into large crockpot.
- Add chopped tomatoes and tomato sauce to crockpot, along with 2-3 cups of water until meat is about 3/4 covered with liquid. Put lid on crockpot.
- Set crockpot on medium-high heat for 6 hours.
- Once 5 1/2 hours have elapsed (30 minutes remaining), prepare mushrooms and collards by washing and cutting, and add to crockpot. Stir contents of crockpot thoroughly, and re-cover with lid. Allow to cook on medium-high eat for another 30 minutes, or until greens are wilted.
- Serve in a bowl on top of rice, cauliflower rice, buckwheat groats, or on its own. Enjoy!

Gundalia (ガンダルディア Gandarudia) is the Gundalians' home world. The city is underground and has been ruled by Emperor Barodius' family for several generations. This is also home to some breeds of Bakugan, born from ancestors that left Vestroia. It is a wasteland. It appears to be a swamp. Most Bakugan on Gundalia are of the Darkus Attribute.
It was one of the two planets involved in the Neathian-Gundalian War along with Neathia.
As of the end of the war, the Gundalians are no longer enemies of Neathia. Ren Krawler, Nurzak, Mason, Lena, Zenet, and Jesse later become allies of Neathia and the Brawlers.
It also appears that the Gundalians and Neathians are very good friends now, seeing how well Paige and Rafe battle and work together. However, it appears that a few, like Anubias, still have evil and dark intentions.
In A Hero Returns, Barodius (reborn as Mag Mel) started to attack Gundalia to get his revenge against his former servants.
Also, prior to Mechtanium Surge, Gundalia was a monarchical government ruled by Emperor Barodius and his ancestors, but from Mechtanium Surge onwards, it appears to be a parliamentary democracy in the vein of most of Europe, Asia, and Africa along with Australia. Now its government, with Prime Minister Nurzak at charge, manages the planet.

Sometimes it takes a while before a decision can fully be graded as good or bad.
The provincial government has decided to build nine new schools -- three in Regina, four in Saskatoon, one in Martensville and one in Warman -- using a P3 model.
Construction will begin next summer with the schools ready for the 2017 school year.
Gordon Wyant, minister responsible for SaskBuilds, said in a press release on Thursday that it's a sound decision.
"Financial analysis, conducted by external experts, demonstrated that a P3 model will deliver the best value for Saskatchewan taxpayers."
Let's start by reviewing what a P3 actually is. It's a partnership between government and private industry to build something, whether it's a bridge, a road, a hospital or a school.
Once it's finished, the government then pays for it for a set period of time
On the positive side of the ledger, governments aren't on the hook for upfront costs and don't pay for overruns. Proponents say that they work extremely well when the estimated costs of government building something are higher than the costs of a private business building the same thing.
In essence, proponents say you can get something cheaper, faster and sometimes better than the equivalent public project, and without the same level of risk.
Not so fast, say critics.
They question whether the projects are in fact any less expensive or are just privatizing government projects for corporate profit.
Critics worry that lucrative side deals are being signed as governments try to rush projects to completion.
It's difficult to know where the truth lies because the argument is deeply rooted in differing philosophies of government held by the right and the left.
The left hates them; the right loves them.
It's interesting to look one province to the left and see that Alberta decided in June that a similar plan was a bad one.
"We have always maintained that Alberta would only use P3s where they show value for money and, with this project, a P3 does not make sense," Infrastructure Minister Wayne Drysdale said at the time.
Those aren't going to be encouraging words for Saskatchewan taxpayers hoping that the government gets the very best bang for their bucks.
This might be one of those projects where it takes 20 or 30 years to fully grade the Wall government on the homework they did to make this decision.
We applaud the decision to build joint facilities between the two divisions because that sort of arrangement will surely deliver some cost savings. At least we can count on that.
As for the P3s themselves, people of a certain age were always encouraged to buy rather than rent. In a long-term situation, it always makes more sense to buy if you have the money.
One day we'll know if the homespun wisdom or the financial experts were right. By then, the schools opened in 2017 will be starting to get a little long in the tooth.

FBC Albertville expands medical ministrys missioncomment (0)
October 2, 2008
By Leigh Pritchett
When First Baptist Church, Albertville, opened Great Physician Clinic, a free medical and dental clinic, six years ago, the mission was to live up to the calling in Luke 9:2 to preach the kingdom of God and heal the sick.
Now the Marshall Baptist Association church is expanding that mission to include optometry. Charles Woods, director of the clinic, said four optometrists held the first eye clinic Sept. 18.
Woods is hoping the eye clinic will achieve the type of success the medical and dental clinic ministries have in providing treatment to countless uninsured patients in the area.
Randall Stoner, director of missions for Marshall Association, said the clinic serves as an important method of spiritual healing as well as the obvious physical healing.
In 2006, the clinic instituted a chaplain program. Woods said there are currently about 20 chaplains who rotate between the medical and dental clinics, communicating in English and Spanish the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
That first year, 20 people asked Jesus to come into their heart and be their Savior, Woods reported.
There is a follow-up program to help the newly saved Christians become involved with a local church.
Though started by First, Albertville, and supported by Marshall Association, the clinic is a community endeavor funded "purely by faith," Woods said.
Volunteers represent different denominations, and contributions of money and equipment come from a wide variety of sources.
"Everything has been donated except a few pieces (of equipment) we've bought," Woods said, noting fellow Marshall Association church First, Guntersville, purchased a $8,200 panoramic X-ray machine for the clinic.
Originally both the medical and dental clinics were housed together in the education building of First, Albertville, but the medical clinic has since moved to Marshall Family Health Clinic in Albertville's Crossroads Mall.
The medical clinic is manned by volunteers — seven physicians, four nurses and four assistants — every Thursday evening and typically sees about 20 patients each week.
Woods noted that the hospitals in Marshall County have been accommodating, performing without charge certain services that the clinic's doctors request for their patients.
The dental clinic meets a need that often goes unmet because people cannot get treatment at an emergency room as they can for medical needs, Woods said. Nonetheless bad teeth can cause many health problems.
About 16 patients are seen by the clinic's seven dentists each Friday morning, but Woods lamented, "we turn away as many or more people than we can treat each week."
All of the clinic's support personnel — the dental assistants and receptionists — are volunteers, with the exception of one paid individual who maintains records and helps with preparations for the clinic.
The dental clinic serves as a ministry on yet another level by helping women who are training to be dental assistants through Christian Women's Job Corps, a ministry of national Woman's Missionary Union that equips women in need with life and job skills.
Woods said a number of women have received some training through the clinic.

- " [...] and with a swipe of her wand she began to duel."
- —Molly Weasley duelling Bellatrix Lestrange during the Battle of Hogwarts[src]
The wand of Molly Weasley is of unknown length, wood, and core materials. It most notably struck down the Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange in 1998.
HistoryLike most wizards and witches in Britain, she likely purchased it at the age of eleven before beginning her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1961.
Molly has been able to perform powerful magic with her wand, including being able to finish off a powerful duellist, Bellatrix Lestrange. In 1992, her wand was noted to have been kept under her apron.

An overnight fatality on Oahu's windward side has Honolulu police investigating what may be a hit-and-run.
"I couldn't understand what happened to him because a person like him, he has such a big heart," said a family friend who asked not to be identified.
The Waimanalo family that took Marc Bucho into its home said he was a man who read the Bible, and wanted to start a business to help the homeless. The family members had no idea what happened Friday night.
"We told each other, 'we'll see you later,'" said the family friend about the last words spoken to Bucho Friday morning.
"He'd say that and we always see him. But that's the last time I seen him."
Bucho, 41, was apparently walking home along Kalanianaole around 8 p.m. Friday when a motorist found his body on the highway near Hilu Street, bleeding from the head, and flagged down police officers.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. It all happened in front of Lucy Kaio's home.
"I heard a loud noise. It was like when you hit an object," said Kaio. "His personal belongings were still on the road and everything. It was really so sad."
Honolulu police said it's possible that Bucho didn't die from being hit by a car. They said his injuries were inconsistent with a car crash. Traffic investigators are working with homicide detectives on this case.
Bucho was 42 years old. He moved from Alaska and lived in Waimanalo for the last six years. He worked in construction although hadn't been working for about a year due to illness, but the family members who welcomed him said he always took good care of them.
"I had surgery on my heart and he made sure I take my pills on time and do not overdose," said the family friend.
An autopsy will be performed on Monday. If you have any information about this case, you're asked to call police.

It depends on what you know about the automorphism group of a cyclic group.
1. Aut( ) is isomorphic to the group of (multiplicative) units of .
2. If is the factorization of n into primes, Aut( ) is isomorphic to
3. If p is odd is isomorphic to
4. A similar statement for n a power of 2 (I'm tired of typing Latex).
All of the above is easily found on the web -- use Google
I'll assume just 1. So we need the group multiplicative units of ; i.e. the set of integers < 24 which are relatively prime to 24, namely {1,5,7,11,13,17,19,23}. Now
, etc (equality here is read mod 24). That is all elements have order 2. Now you must figure that out that such a group is the direct sum of 3 cyclic groups of order 2. One "high powered" result: If an abelian group G has order p^n for a prime p and every element has order p, G is isomorphic to the direct sum of n cyclic groups of order p. This is one part of the fundamental theorem of finite abelian groups.
I really think the general proofs of the statements above are no harder than trying to do the specific n = 24.

Video Premiere: Dave Douglas Quintet
Trumpeter's great working band performs new composition
Trumpeter Dave Douglas, with a new working band and guest vocalist Aoife O'Donovan, released one of 2012's best jazz albums with Be Still, a sterling collection that included re-imaginings of classic American hymns in dedication to Douglas' late mother. Despite the well-wrought concept, at the core of the album's strengths was the trumpeter's elastic, empathic quintet featuring saxophonist Jon Irabagon, pianist Matt Mitchell, bassist Linda Oh and drummer Rudy Royston.
That group has returned with Time Travel, its album due out April 9 on Douglas' Greenleaf Music label. As Geoffrey Himes explains in his upcoming May issue lead review, the disc winningly highlights Douglas' often overlooked abilities in and affinity for jazz's more mainstream branches.
JazzTimes is pleased to premiere the first video from this quintet document, for Douglas' composition "Garden State." This footage was captured during the album sessions at Avatar Studios in New York City in April of last year. Douglas has more news in the offing, including new dates in his 50-state tour and a forthcoming podcast series. For more on those endeavors, check back at JazzTimes.com.

5 Things You Need to Know Before You GoJuly 17th, 2014 at 6:00 am by Avicra Luckey under 5 Things, Morning Show
Time for the five things you need to know before you go this morning.
5. There are a lot of questions right now about the five-hour cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Israel says at least two rockets were fired from Gaza…about two hours into a humanitarian ceasefire deal. The ceasefire was supposed to be for Palestinians to gather food, water and other supplies.
4. It's a big day for Albuquerque's VA Hospital. Acting Secretary, Sloan Gibson will be here to take a look at the hospital. This is all in response to long waiting lists and many veterans not getting the care they need.
3. Thank you for all the pictures from last night's severe storm. You've been sending in a ton of them to Report-It at KRQE.com. Please keep them coming and if you want to see all of them, head to our website. There's a great gallery there.
2. How about that storm last night in Albuquerque? Take a look at this time-lapse from downtown. It shows two storms coming together, with lots of rain wind and even hail.
1. We can expect more wet weather today.

January 29, 2014
By Denise Rondini
LAS VEGAS -- "This is the culmination of a vision we've had for years," said Terry Livingston, general manager, global product management and shared services, Aftermarket for Meritor, when speaking about the company's deployment of two mobile training trucks during Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week 2014 Tuesday.
Meritor has long positioned itself as a provider of information and training, but has gone one step further developing two Nissan high-roof NV3500 trucks that will deliver onsite product and systems education to fleets, warehouse distributors and independent service garages in the United States and Canada.
Each truck will offer hands-on training to service managers, shop supervisors, service technicians, maintenance directors, drivers and dealer-fleet trainers for drivetrain and undercarriage aftermarket components. Meritor said it designed the training trucks to meet the immediate needs of North American customers for aftermarket products and systems.
"Training and education is the one consistent message I've heard," said Craig Frohock, vice president, Aftermarket and Trailer, North America. "Everyone is looking for it and it is a hot focus area for us."
"We've been hearing loud and clear that our customers — the warehouse distributors, OE dealers and fleets —want more product education," said Rick Martin, senior manager, aftermarket training, Meritor. "During the first 12 months, training will focus on braking systems, which will help the industry manage through changes and new demands."
Meritor expects its training efforts to play a key role in contributing to fleets' safety records. The mobile training trucks will deliver instructor-led training on brakes and brake systems during 2014.
Training will cover regulations established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The curriculum will include an overview of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 121) stopping distance requirements, reduced stopping distance regulations and the FMCSA's Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) enforcement regime.
According to Walt Sherbourne, senior director, Field Sales, North America, both trucks are equipped with video monitors and working air systems boards, as well as actual brake hardware. For hands-on training purposes, each van will have actual cam and air disc brake hardware, friction and wheel ends, air valves, air dryers, Meritor Wabco stability control systems, electronic diagnostics, automatic traction control, anti-lock brakes and collision mitigation systems.
The company will offer two styles of training sessions:
Meritor officials said the trucks are designed to support the company's existing online training program, which includes 120 courses.
This is going to be great for our industry. A Mobile up-to-date setup that technicans in both fleets and dealerships can be trained on... Unprecidented idea! I'm sure our students would love to see this truck pull up and get a class from Meritor as well!

That's what inquiring minds really want to know, minds just like yours and mine. Will it be a new iPhone Nano perhaps, or how about this oldie, but goodie - a MacBook Nano?
Certainly these, in my mind at least have some basis or credibility of actually happening. For example, ElectricPIG.com (man, I love that name!), has a fine post on the likelihood of a MacBook Nano actually making an appearance, and they even go so far as to include some fine and spiffy mock-ups to boot, as you can see from the illustration at the beginning of this post, so be sure to check out the rest of these mock-ups for yourself by clicking on their link above.
At first glance, one could easily mistake their mock-up Nano with that of one of the recently introduced aluminum MacBook's or MacBook Pro's, but they claim that any new Nano would be radically different in what it offers, or should I say, didn't offer. According to ElectricPig, Apple would achieve this new technological wonder by:
"By doing what its designers do best: stripping away the features that clog up other ultra-portables, leaving the MacBook nano with more space to cram in the kit that really matters.
We reckon an Apple-branded netbook would shun connectors for external monitors, wired network connections and even abandon hardware support for headphones and a microphone. After all, if you're using an ultra-portable you're unlikely to be near an external monitor, and built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can handle everything else."
Well, whether or not this new MacBook Nano, if it does make an appearance, would be technically the much rumored and much desired version of Apple's idea of a netbook, still remains to be seen. I'm not certain whether it will be announced, but I am kind of hoping that this will be the case.
One of the most interesting speculations, thus far, comes from AppleGazette. This fine Apple centric site asks the question, of whether or not, if Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, might surprise us by making an unannounced appearance at next weeks MacWorld! After all, as they point out:
"There have been many times in the past when Phil has appear in a Steve Jobs Keynote without being announced before hand. If Jobs is in good health, an appearance like this would solidify that point without him having to make a big deal about it."
Makes sense to me, and when you really think about it, not only would any Jobs appearance be a much welcome event, but it certainly, as they say, would go a long way in quieting those persistent rumors over Jobs health! It would be nice to see some people who, on nothing more than sheer speculation, have more-or-less, damaged Apple's stock by publishing such unconfirmed stories, mere speculation and utterly wild rumors! It would give them one hell of a black eye and, hopefully, they would think twice about doing so ever again!
Personally, I'm hoping, as I have said many times in the past, that if uncle Phil, or Jobs himself, delivers anything, I hope that it is finally, and at long last, that of a MacBook Air like laptop that fits into that iMac like dock of theirs! They have taken patents out for such a device and it would be the equivalent of having and eating your cake too - a device that was both a desktop computer, and, as well, one that was also a dedicated laptop! Pop it in, pop it out, and presto, you would have either a desktop or a laptop! How sweet would that be? Pretty damn sweet, if you ask little old me.
Of course, these are just a few of the many speculations of what may or may not happen on Monday. We could go on and on, as there seems to be no end to all of the speculating of what uncle Phil might eventually end up showing us in the absence of Steve doing another one of his famously styled, "just one more thing!", MacWorld keynotes. It wouldn't surprise me, one little bit, if Phil ended his keynote by saying something to the effect:
"Oh, by the way, just one more thing!", as Steve himself enters and makes his way across the stage to reveal the high-light of this MacWorld! Wow, now that would make it the greatest "one more thing" to ever come out of MacWorld and it would probably go down in history, thus ending Apple's quarter of a century participation in MacWorld in a big bang! You might even dare call it: "The Big Bang, of all Big Bangs!" Talk about an making an exit - oooooh baby - now that really would take the cake!
What ever happens, come this Monday, this will be one MacWorld that will be different than any other previous MacWorld in it's entire 30-year history, so what ever happens: don't be surprised if your surprised! I'm down right expecting to.
And thats my 2 cents 4 this Friday, January 02 , 2009

on 35 and 36 the c's look good. that's all i have time to check.
Problems 35, 36, 47, and 48 I have been having some trouble with....
35 and 36
For B...i had to find the zeros with a calculator
for part c, I had to find the zeros algebraically
47 and 48
i had to find the zeros and max and min with a calculator
for 47, i am a little confused about the +- part....
I do not know is I am doing these correctly...if someone could take a look at my work, it would be greatly appreciated
And take a look at that graph again: I'm getting two relative maxima, not one. However, what you have listed is good. (Though you could probably round that -1.938 x 10^(-6) to 0 if you wanted.)

"This card came out great. The photos were clear, the text was easy to read, and it even came a day faster than anticipated."
"I chose this card because it allowed me to use several pictures while not looking cheap like many collage cards often do. I opted to pay a little extra for the pearl finish and it looked very nice; however, I think it tends to make to color of the photos less vivid and sharp and may work best on B&W photos as opposed to color photos. The cards were made of a heavy card stock which I love and much prefer to the thin cards printed on photo paper. It was a little pricy so I did order less cards than I would have if they were a little cheaper. Since I include his age and the date on the card, I no longer have to try and remember when and how old he was in the photo. This makes documenting those special days a snap and I make sure I keep one extra for his memory book. I would highly recommend this card if you're looking for a quality, classy card and not concerned with price."
"As this cards hits mailboxes, I'm bombarded with compliments! The colors of the card, the photo size options, everything about this piece is beautiful. We used a montage of photos of our 2-year-old son with rabbits and chicks, which adds to the spring motif. Where there are blocks with eggs and space for text, I inserted quotes about spring that I found from Aristotle and humor writer Lewis Grizzard (I know, quite the juxtaposition!)."
"I couldn't be happier with these Easter cards. The printing is so beautiful - soft yet sharp at the same time. The colors of the card design really complemented my photos. I used the "digital proof" option for the first time and would highly recommend that service. Great peace of mind! I also used the super rush delivery for the first time as well. I was so impressed! I ordered these cards early on a Tuesday morning...received my digital proof an hour later...and my cards arrived the very next day! WOW! Excellent service!!"
"I always love the quality of Tiny Prints cards, and this one didn't disappoint! The thick cardstock and clear beautiful photo quality was perfect. I am a photographer, and that is very important to me. I couldn't wait to get these out in the mail! Also, the customer service experienced when I had trouble ordering (there was a small glitch in the system at the time) was top notch."
