Zverev, Kulichkova win Australian Open junior titles
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Top-seeded Alexander Zverev of Germany cruised to the Australian Open boy's title with a 6-3, 6-0 victory Saturday over second-seeded Stefan Kozlov of the United States.
The 16-year-old Zverev, the first non-Australian to win the boys title since 2011, said his victory overcame some disappointing defeats at junior Grand Slam events.
''I was (in the) finals in Paris, I was in semis at the U.S. Open. Never could I make it to a victory, but now I did,'' he said.
Russia's Elizaveta Kulichkova picked up a second title in Melbourne when she convincingly defeated Jana Fett of Croatia 6-2, 6-1 in the girl's final.
She combined with Ukraine's Anhelina Kalinina to win the doubles final on Friday.
Kulichkova, 17, now intends to focus on qualifying for women's events.

"My family loved this. For those who like spicier we added sliced jalapenos as a garnish. I like this because it is a lightened up version. Corn tortillas vs flour and cottage cheese vs sour cream."
Reviewed Sep. 1, 2010
"I love this dish. Hint: I use 9 corn tortillas, putting 3 in each layer. On each layer I leave 2 whole, placing each whole one in a corner, diagonally across from the other. Then I cut one in half to cover the open spots in each layer; otherwise, there's too much open space not covered up by a tortilla. As for the cheese, I use a half and half mixture of cheddar and mozzarella. -Lori in WI."

Definition of dossier
: a file containing detailed records on a particular person or subject the patient's medical dossier Police began compiling a dossier on him.
dossier was our Word of the Day on 04/03/2010. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Did You Know?
Gather together various documents relating to the affairs of a certain individual, sort them into separate folders, label the spine of each folder, and arrange the folders in a box. "Dossier," the French word for such a compendium of spine-labeled folders, was picked up by English speakers in the late 19th century. It comes from "dos," the French word for "back," which is in turn derived from "dorsum," Latin for back. Our word dorsal ("situated on the back"), as in the dorsal fin of a whale, comes from the same Latin source.
Origin and Etymology of dossier
French, bundle of documents labeled on the back, dossier, from dos back, from Latin dorsum —see 2dorsal

Blazers have just enough 3s, and at the end
MINNEAPOLIS Â The Trail Blazers took advantage of Kevin Love's absence, outscored Minnesota 48-15 points on 3-point shots and held off the Timberwolves 102-97 Saturday night.
Portland finished its five-day trip with a 3-1 record.
The Blazers, who improved to 18-15, will be in the Rose Garden at 7 p.m. Monday to face Orlando.
Wesley Matthews (26 points), Nicolas Batum (26, all but two points in the first three quarters), and Damian Lillard (20) led the Blazers, who had too much punch and range for the Love-less Timberwolves (15-15).
Minnesota got bad news before the game when it was learned that star forward Love, from Lake Oswego, will be out indefinitely with a broken right hand. Love was hurt Thursday at Denver. He broke the third metacarpal. In mid-October, he broke the third and fourth metacarpals, forcing him to miss the first nine games of the regular season. Love will see a specialist this week to see how long he might be out.
The T-Wolves also were without starting point guard Ricky Rubio (back spasms).
Portland built a lead of 22 points in the third quarter, but Minnesota made a big run in the fourth period.
The Timberwolves pulled to within 91-87 with 5:15 remaining. Both teams then missed an array of shots before LaMarcus Aldridge banked in a 12-footer with 3:00 left and Matthews just beat the shot clock and drilled a 3 off the dribble with 1:57 remaining to boost the Blazer lead to 96-87.
Andrei Kirilenko answered with a 3 for the Wolves, and then Luke Ridnour sank two free throws at the 1:33 mark to cut the lead to 96-92.
Portland threw a full-court inbound pass to J.J. Hickson, but he missed a dunk, and Derrick Williams dunked for Minnesota at the other end.
Lillard missed a runner with one minute to go, but Minnesota point guard J.J. Barea threw the ball away on a kick-out pass after penetrating near the basket.
Aldridge got a turnaround basket with 37.1 seconds to go, giving Portland a 98-94 edge.
Williams drove for a basket that was waved off by a traveling call.
The Timberwolves fouled Matthews with 22.1 seconds left, and he made both free throws. After a missed 3 by Barea, Batum added two free throws.
Williams nailed a 3 for Minnesota just before the final buzzer.
Matthews said the Blazers got a little complacent down the end, "but it's tough to win on the road."
As for the trip, "Hey, we wanted all four. We've got a swagger about us."
But, he added, "We'll take three out of four."
Center Nikola Pekovic led Minnesota with 21 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. Five other T-Wolves scored in double figures  Williams scored 18 points, Ridnour and Kirilenko each had 15, Barea had 14 and former Blazer Dante Cunningham had 10 points with 12 rebounds.
Portland made 16 of 24 3-point attempts, while Minnesota was 5 of 16. Batum was 5 of 6 from long range, Matthews 5 of 7 and Lillard 3 of 5. Luke Babbitt, Portland's leading bench scorer with six points, was 2 of 3 from beyond the arc.
Lillard and Aldridge each had six assists for the Blazers, and Hickson was the team's top rebounder with 11 to go with his two points. Aldridge had 14 points and 11 rebounds.

Interview with Mr. Salvatore Grimaldi
What inspired you to choose the entrepreneurial path of life?
Challenges are my inspiration. I like to challenge new things to see if can succeed.
Were you ever discouraged? Especially by others when you were starting out on your own?
I was never discouraged, I knew what I wanted and I worked hard. When I started in the 70´s people said that entrepreneurs were untrustworthy and tax evaders. Today, the view has changed and entrepreneurs are now seen as important builders of society
What single piece of advice would you give an entrepreneur today? In today's economic state, and technological climate?
You have to be good at what you're doing, and feel it's something you can do. This gives you self-esteem and balance to start your own business.
In your view, why does a brand lose their clientele?
Clientele is lost when the brand standard is neglected. A brand is invaluable and has to be managed properly its entire life.
If you could change one thing about the business climate today what would it be?
A lot of people complain about Sweden but I think it's a great country. There is no bureaucracy and we have equality between the sexes. But I think Sweden should focus even more on entrepreneurship because the entrepreneurs are the engines in societies.
How would you describe the man Salvatore Grimaldi and except for business what do you enjoy in life?
I'm interested in people and I care about my co-workers. Perhaps I'm too kind sometimes but I'd rather be that than something else. I spend my spare time with my family, they mean the most to me. Life goes up and down but family always stays behind you.

Laparoscopic surgery techniques are minimally invasive procedures developed to mitigate the tissue damage, anesthesia issues, and post-operative recovery times typically associated with conventional abdominal and pelvic surgery techniques. Many of the advantages of laparoscopic surgery apply to the minimally invasive D.N.D. surgery developed by North American Spine.
Laparoscopic Surgery Techniques
In preparation for a laparoscopic surgery, the patient's abdominal cavity is filled with carbon dioxide gas. The gas creates room for the surgeon to work. A series of small incisions are made, which allows the surgeon to maneuver a tiny fiber optic camera and specialized surgical tools inside the patient.
Laparoscopic surgery techniques limit the amount of blood lost in the procedure and help protect the internal organs from possible contamination. Laparoscopic surgery also involves less post-operative pain and shorter hospital stays. Laparoscopy is used in Gall Bladder, Gastrointestinal, Renal and many other procedures involving the abdominal or pelvic region.
Laparoscopic techniques belong to the broader field of Endoscopic Surgery, which is the use of internal imaging systems to assist in surgical techniques. North American Spine's Partner Physicians have developed endoscopic surgical techniques for use in the treatment of chronic back pain. If you suffer from debilitating back pain, the Minimally Invasive, Natural-Opening, North American Spine D.N.D. surgery techniques are the least invasive procedures available. The procedure may be able to better diagnose and cure your pain, while avoiding some of the risks associated with traditional back surgery. Please contact us for more information about D.N.D. surgery at 877.474.BACK.

Need some inspiration between the sheets? We've chosen five apps
to help you and your spouse reignite the spark.
- By Kristy MacKaben
Kristy MacKaben is a freelance writer living in Lake
Zurich with her husband and two kids.
There was a time we would kiss at every red light.
I don't just mean a peck. I mean full makeout sessions until the
stoplight turned green. I remember thinking: "Will we always be
like this?"
A decade and two kids later, the answer is, of course,
"No." My husband and I love and appreciate each other, and we still
have a spark, but we don't always put our love life
Who knew technology could help?
While mobile devices are often blamed for tearing couples
and families apart, technology isn't all bad.
If used appropriately, technology can help couples
reconnect, says Amy Stewart, a Streeterville-based psychotherapist
who specializes in sex therapy. "Once you have kids, it's hard. It
gets boring. It gets routine. You need to spark things up," says
Stewart. "Technology can help."
Texting or emailing sexy messages throughout the day,
video chatting while away from each other or connecting via mobile
applications can help couples bond, says Stewart.
Unlike my husband, I'm not a big app person. I usually get
all huffy when I see him fiddling with his phone. But we put a few
apps to the test. From surreptitiously leaving love messages on
sticky notes throughout the house to communicating through a game
about sexual intimacy, these apps can definitely do some
Free for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (and soon Android)
Developer: Kahnoodle
Kahnoodle can be an eye opener. I was a bit surprised by
my husband's love rankings-especially which particular "love need"
he ranked as number one. By understanding the ranking of love needs
(quality time, thoughtful acts, spontaneity, verbal praise, sexual
intimacy, affectionate touch and gifts), couples can work harder to
make each other feel loved and appreciated. The app then encourages
users to give "Kudos" to their partners for meeting those love
needs. Kahnoodle also provides a mode to share lists, plan date
nights and send private messages or pictures.
Free for iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (and soon Android)
Developer: TheIceBreak
TheIceBreak is designed to keep couples better connected
through fun questions and activities. Think there's nothing left to
learn about your main squeeze? You might be pleasantly surprised.
Ever wonder how your partner would describe your "smell" or the
exact moment he/she knew you were "the One"? TheIceBreak asks
poignant, yet amusing questions.
Free for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android
Developer: Angelsong Creations
A sticky note in the refrigerator: "Great dinner tonight!
A sticky note on the bathroom mirror: "Your smile makes me smile."
A sticky note inside a book: "Thank you for being you." My husband
really got into this app and took the advice from Romeo To Go to
show affection unexpectedly and often.
$1.99 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android
Developer: Franklin Innovations
Now here's a fun app. Wink. Wink. Just skimming the more
than 600 questions on Kindu will get you in the mood. The app even
comes with a disclaimer from the developer: "This app is not for
the faint of heart. There are some ideas you should not try in a
million years, but we wanted to include the whole spectrum of
sexual behavior." Though a number of questions are a bit
over-the-top for the average married couple, there's nothing wrong
with expanding your imagination, says Stewart. Kindu provides
examples of turn-ons, fantasy role play and sexy activities. Using
passcodes, each person privately answers "Yes," "No" or "Maybe" to
each scenario, and then Kindu later reveals only the scenarios
where both people matched. If some answers don't match, no one
$1.99 for iPhone or iPad
Developer: The Gottman Institute
Want to know what your partner really thinks? Start by
asking a handful of the questions provided on this app. From the
serious "What makes your partner feel most competent?" to the kinky
"What turns your partner on sexually?," the Love Maps app
encourages couples to quiz each other.

High-Yield Stocks of the World's Third-Largest Economy - 18098 views
SAN FRANCISCO (Stockerblog) -- Can you guess what the third-largest economy in the world is? Not the U.S., not China. It's India, which also happens to be the world's second-fastest-growing major economy.
If you think tech is India's biggest industry, think again. IT accounts for only about 1% of the total GDP, while India ranks second worldwide in farm output. It also has the fourth-largest reserves in the world of coal.
There are plenty of India stocks that U.S. investors can buy, and dividends are available on more than half a dozen of the Indian stocks that trade in the U.S., which we track at WallStreetNewsNetwork.
More From Stockpickr
For example, Tata Motors (TTM), a major automobile manufacturer in India, also makes and markets utility vehicles, trucks, buses and defense vehicles. It produces gasoline, electric and hybrid vehicles. The stock pays a yield of 1.1% and trades at only 7.8 times forward earnings. Quarterly revenue grew 36.8% for the quarter ending Sept. 30. The company also has about $3.45 per share in cash.
Another Indian stock that pays a dividend is Icici Bank (IBN), the second-largest bank in India and the largest private-sector bank in India based on market capitalization. It currently yields 1.1% and has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 16. Quarterly earnings jumped 79% on a revenue gain of 13.5% for the quarter ending March 31.
Wipro (WIT) is a semi-conglomerate, which sells software services, computer hardware such as computers, servers and laptops, personal care products and lighting products. It has also invested in renewable energy projects. The stock has a yield of 0.8% and a forward P/E of 29. Earnings for the quarter ending Sept. 30 were up 9.8%.

Overall, USC played well enough to earn the right to sing the fight song (twice actually) in the locker room after the game for the first time in the Kiffin era.
- Down 14-13 with just over five minutes to play in the 3rd quarter, the Trojans felt the first real game pressure of the season. Electrifying freshman Robert Woods alleviated the sideline anxiety by riding the "Convoy" across the TCF Bank Stadium field turf. "Excitement," Woods described the feeling. "Just don't get caught and then I get to celebrate with my team." While Woods gets the highlight, he gives all the credit to the call made by special teams coach John Baxter. "After I scored, I ran over and gave him a hug cause that was all him right there."
- Allen Bradford was my player of the game (interview below). His USC career is patience and perseverance personified. While Marc Tyler was the starter today, Bradford seized his opportunity to pound the rock and enforce his physicality on the contest. "We'd like that to be our personality," head coach Lane Kiffin said of the power running style employed by Bradford en route to a 133-yard afternoon.
- Defensively, USC's run defense was "the story of the game," according to Kiffin. The Gophers ran for just 83 yards despite 37 attempts. They challenged the Trojans front four, which responded, led by Jurrell Casey's team-leading nine tackles. "Every time they came directly at me," Casey said of Minnesota's gameplan. "I just made sure to split the double team and make the play." While the defensive line did not have a sack, they stuffed the run and consistently pressured the quarterback for the first time this season.
- Forced turnovers was my story of the week and the defense responded by tripling their season's output. On the first interception, Jawanza Starling added a degree of difficulty to the easiest pick he'll ever get. The ball was floated to him thanks to a Wes Horton pressure, but he felt like it took forever to get there and then bobbled the catch only to make an athletic recovery. "I got the first one out of the way," Starling said. The entire defense believes that turnovers are contagious, which proved true as a lucky foot clip and a late deflection led to two more before the 60 minutes were up.
- Unfortunately, the Trojans are still -1 in turnover margin for the season as Matt Barkley tossed his first two interceptions. On the first one, Rhett Ellison never turned around on the route, so either the timing or communication was off. The second pick falls squarely on the QB, who forced a ball in a 2nd and 22 situation, which leads us to the dreaded...
- ...P-word. Penalties. After a six penalty first half with another undisciplined personal foul, the Trojans got out of their own way in the second stanza. Successful offensive play-calling is so dependent on manageable down and distances, so chop-blocks and holding flags are the quickest ways to kill a drive or lead to forced passes. USC committed just one penalty in the second half.
- Lost in the shuffle of knockout #3, redshirt freshman DE James Boyd took the field for the first time in his USC career. He was ecstatic bouncing around the sideline in anticipation. "I'm so happy for you man," DT Hebron Fangupo said to Boyd on the sideline. Boyd has moved from the service team to contesting for playing time.
- The second corner spot was a clear weakness for USC today. Nickell Robey struggled on the Gophers first TD drive when he lost his man going across the middle and then was flagged for holding in the end zone. Later, he was beaten on a sideline route for six. T.J. Bryant has moved up in the mix, while Torin Harris still gets consistent playing time. Meanwhile, opposing quarterbacks rarely attack Shareece Wright, so the second and third corners will be under fire all year.
- Matt Barkley was "out of it" for a little while after the facemask penalty, which gave the Trojans a first down. As a result, Kiffin sort of stumbled into the power rushing sequence, which culminated in Bradford's 56-yard TD burst. Here is Bradford recounting the night and the love he got from his teammates and coaches after the run...

Date of Stay: June, 2008
We spent the month of June 2008 at this park while working in the community of Athens. For what it is, it is a great little RV park! It is right off the interstate, with easy access, easy pull through sites, and a quiet, safe environment. The owner is super friendly and very easy going. The water pressure is very high and the Wi-Fi is outstanding too. And there was plenty of room for our 40 footer and both of our vehicles! There are no other amenities here though: no showers or laundry, no pool or anything like that. But for what it does, it does well. I would gladly recommend this park and would definitely stay here again!
Date of Stay: April, 2008
We stayed here just overnight. Nicely manicured grounds with nice pull-thought's. Our only complaint was that our concrete patio didn't fit our camper, so our door steps let down into a small mushy grassy area. The free cable TV was a nice addition and the staff was super nice. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: April, 2008
We stayed here overnight. The place was kind of small, but well kept. Nice concrete pads and lighted utility boxes. The staff was very helpful and super nice. Appeared like it was kind of a new or remodeled location as the gravel still has some dirt showing in it. Only negative thing I can say was the dogs roaming free around the grounds. We have three schnauzers and it was hard to take them out with the other dogs roaming around.
Date of Stay: January, 2007
I stayed here for a little over a year. The grounds are clean and quiet, with tree shaded lots and large concrete pads. The staff are really nice and typically very helpful. It is by far the best park in the Albany area. I would say there are only a couple of negatives concerning the park. First, and I admit they are working on this problem, is the Wi-Fi is not very good unless you are near the very front of the park close to the office. Second, while the tree shaded lots are nice on one hand, on the other, the trees definitely interfered with my satellite antenna reception. And finally, while we did not notice any dogs roaming loose like another poster did, we did have problems with cats roaming loose and sleeping on top of our vehicles. This was very frustrating and annoying. However, the positives outweigh the negatives, and this is really the only decent RV park in Albany. I would definitely stay there again on any return trip.

Capel brings textiles home with new Fifth Ave. showroom
November 5, 2001,
Troy, NC — After about 23 years away from the home textiles hub, area, accent and scatter rugs manufacturer and importer Capel, based here, has again made a home-away-from-home for itself in New York's Home Textiles building at 295 Fifth Ave.
Bud Young, vp of sales and marketing, who next year will celebrate his 20th anniversary with Capel, recalled to HTT that Capel left the 295 building when the national floor covering market moved to 919 Third Ave.
"We've been interested in getting more and more involved in the textile market for a number of years now, and we decided to become a part of the New York Home Textile market after many retailers asked us to have a presence in New York so they could review our entire line in a showroom as opposed to reviewing in their offices," Young explained. "We feel a lot of our product can transcend to the bed and bath, and we're building relationships with mass merchants and specialty to achieve that."
Today 15 percent of Capel's entire business is home textile-related product — accent and scatter rugs, mainly constructed of cotton chenille and produced here in Troy, NC, or imported from India. Price points average $19.99 for a 20" x 30", $49.99 for a 30" x 50" and $199 for a 5' x 8'.
Capel's first attempt to return to New York as a home textiles player came in April, with a large booth at the Home Textiles Show at the Jacob Javits Center.
"It was a great market," Young said. "We made contact there with more than a dozen of the top retailers, most of which turned into new business partnerships for Capel."
Because of that exposure and success, Capel decided to get a permanent showroom.
"One soon became available, and we jumped on it," said Young of Capel's 2,200-square-foot space in suite 808. "We signed the lease in June."
Young said that, "like any new showroom, we had more than our share of problems with repairs." Up until the Saturday during fall market crews were working on the final touches.
Regardless of repairs and slow retailer traffic due to disruptions echoing from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York , Capel went home with new programs in place.
"We were extremely pleased to have most of the East Coast retailers we had appointments with show up," he said. "Although we were sorry that our appointments with Midwest retailers were mostly cancelled, we received more than half a dozen commitments for programs for the spring."
Those programs mainly include Capel's cotton chenille rug collections of cross woven, tufted chenille and braided chenille rugs. Of these order commitments, Young said, all will be custom designed and exclusive per retailer.
Young said that more than 25 percent of Capel's volume stems from proprietary products.
"We went in to show our various constructions and qualities and colors across the board," Young said. "We want to continue to drive our business toward sourcing for retailers because of the opportunities for exclusive distribution and better profit margins."
For next market, Young said, more than half of Capel's showroom will be dedicated to proprietary opportunities.
"We'll start doing a quality story in the showroom," Young said. "We're trying to get away from the open shelf and open line approach and instead show innovative constructions in area rugs never done in the U.S. market before, and we'll focus on new ways of tufting and adding value to our product. It will be more about construction and less about color and design."
Capel sources its product from its headquarters here as well as from Dalton, GA, India, China, Belgium and Egypt.
"If you are going to be serious about working in the home textiles industry, we see no way you can achieve your mission effectively without being present at 295," Young said. "It's great to be back."

Welp, it didn't take Justin Bieber very long to start acting like Justin Bieber again. After he and Selena fought — because HE was hanging out with other girls — a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that he took the fight a step further by purposely rubbing his flirtations in Selena's face.
Selena Gomez couldn't help but get extremely upset when she heard that her on-again boyfriend Justin Bieber, who she just reunited with less than three weeks ago, was hanging out with other girls over the weekend on June 28. But instead of rushing to Selena's side to console her and tell her that all the other girls meant nothing, Justin decided to rub salt in Selena's wounds, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
Justin Bieber Wanted To Hurt Selena Gomez
"Justin posted those pictures with Chantel [Jeffries] to hurt Selena," the source says. "He knows how to push her buttons." The button-pushing happened on June 30 when Justin uploaded a selfie to Shots of himself with Chantel wrapped around one arm and Catherine Johnston-Paiz wrapped around the other.
Plain and simple, the Biebs knows that he can treat Selena like garbage without any consequences — and he's never seen a hot girl he didn't want to flirt with — so cozying up to Chantel again was like killing two birds with one stone for him. "Selena always comes back to Justin when he treats her mean so there's no reason for him to change," the source adds.
Justin Bieber & Chantel Jeffries Have 'Unfinished Business'
Plus, even though everything seemed to be going so well with Justin and Selena, he really never stopped being attracted to Chantel, so when she came back into the picture, he was persuaded to give it another shot. "There's unfinished business between them," the same source says. "He thinks she's hot and he's so impressed that she never sold him out. Like she could have, so she's down to show her some love, especially when he's fighting with Selena."
If Justin wants to pursue a relationship with the girl who was riding shotgun when he was arrested for DUI in Miami in January, that's his prerogative. But to post pictures of he and her flirting just because he's fighting with Selena — that's really messed up.
Do you agree, HollywoodLifers? Let us know.

Briggs v. Elliot (South Carolina)
In 1947, James Hinton, chair of the S.C. Conference of the NAACP, gave a speech at Allen University, where he challenged the audience to find a teacher or preacher who would locate "a plaintiff to test the legality of the discriminatory bus-transportation practices" in the state.
In the audience was Rev. Joseph Armstrong DeLaine, principal of Silver School, located near the town of Summerton, S.C.
Three years later, Rev. DeLaine, Harry and Eliza Briggs, and a handful of others, with the help of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, filed Briggs v. Elliot in federal district court, one of five cases that would eventually be combined into what is commonly known as Brown v. Board of Education.
For black students in Summerton, none of whom had bus transportation, getting to school sometimes involved a walk as long as eight miles each way.
According to local school officials, since the African American community did not pay much in taxes, it would be unfair to expect white taxpayers to provide transportation for African American school children. Despite a letter writing campaign for equal transportation launched by Rev. DeLaine, school officials yielded no ground.
Facing defeat, African American parents collected donations within their community and purchased a second-hand school bus, whose many repairs ultimately proved to be too costly for the parents.
Rev. DeLaine next approached District Superintendent L.B. McCord, who refused to even consider Rev. DeLaine's request for equal transportation. DeLaine then turned to the courts, locating a parent-Levi Pearson-who was brave enough to bring a court case to challenge the bus policy.
Levi Pearson's three children had to walk nine miles each way to Scott's Branch School from their family farm. The state superintendent ignored Pearson's initial petition for equal transportation.
The Case
In 1948, a local attorney, together with Thurgood Marshall, sued the county board in federal district court, but the case was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds without reaching the merits.
In 1949 the state NAACP stepped in and agreed, with the helpof national NAACP funding, to sponsor a case that would go beyond transportation and ask for equal educational opportunities in Clarendon County.
Rev. Delaine and a local parent, Modjeska Simpkins, took the lead in petitioning the school board and finding local residents willing to sign the petition. The first two names on the petition were those of Harry Briggs, a service station attendant, and his wife, Eliza Briggs, who worked as a maid. Both of the Briggs were fired from their jobs after signing the complaint. Rev. DeLaine, who had become principal of Scott's Branch High School, was also fired.
Despite the economic cost, for Mrs. Simpkins it was a simple matter of getting for her own children what other children had. " Our children didn't have a bus; they didn't have desks." The school board refused to take any action on the petition.
Briggs v. Elliott was filed in May of 1950. As the case progressed, it moved from simply pursuing equalization of facilities and obtaining buses, to attacking segregation.
The decision by the three-judge panel held that the school must be equalized but not integrated. The one dissenter, Judge Walter Warring, wrote, "segregation is per se inequality." He was later forced to leave the state by a joint resolution of the South Carolina House of Representatives.
The ruling set the stage for Briggs to be appealed to the Supreme Court, where it was combined with four other desegregation cases, including Brown v. Board.
After Brown
Despite success in the Supreme Court, the struggle for educational equity in Clarendon County continued.
The state legislature implemented a plan of "massive resistance." In October 1955, just a few months after the Supreme Court ruled that schools should be integrated with "all deliberate speed," whites threatened to kill Rev. DeLaine if he did not leave town.
A week later, his church was burned; on the 10th day after the threat, DeLaine heard gunfire outside his home. He fired two shots at cars in the street, hoping to mark the vehicles as the sheriff had told him to do-then fled the state he had called home.
Summerton's schools have faced an uphill battle as well. It took twelve years before the first blacks were allowed to attend the all-white Summerton High School in 1966. But many white students already had left for the all-white private school called Clarendon Hall, which had opened the year before.
"In Summerton, when the whites left, they said they would never come back, and they haven't," says Leola Parks, executive assistant to Clarendon No. 1 Superintendent Clayton Willie and one of the first blacks to attend Summerton High.
A Snapshot of Clarendon County
Like many counties in the South that had an entrenched history of racism and segregation, when integration finally reached Clarendon County's schools, they suffered nearly total white abandonment. In 2001, the average black students in the county attended schools that were 95 percent black.

2nd Period summary: Bruins vs. Flyers Game 5
|05.10.10 at 8:55 pm ET
This is what it felt like for the Bruins against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2 of the same round last spring.
They were coming off a 4-1 rout of the Hurricanes in Game 1 and they had just blown away the Canadiens in four straight the round before.
Then Game 2 happened and the whole perspective of the series changed.
Fast forward to tonight and a 3-0 Flyers lead after two periods. The Bruins had just lost a heart-breaker in overtime in Philly but still had a commanding 3-1 series lead, needing just to win Game 5 on home ice to advance to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 1992.
But the Flyers came to play and fight for their lives, even when Brian Boucher went down in the opening five minutes of the second with what appeared to be a nasty lower body injury. Boucher made a save and then immediately grabbed his midsection. He could barely make it to his skates before being helped off by Chris Pronger.
Enter Michael Leighton, the same Michael Leighton who started at Fenway Park on Jan. 1 and the same Michael Leighton who hadn't even been active in a game since suffering a high ankle sprain on March 16 in Nashville.
He was tested on a Bruins power play and then the Flyers rewarded him when Scott Hartnell finally got credit for a goal. Then the Bruins started taking undisciplined penalties and Simon Gagne finally made them pay with a power play goal on Philadelphia's fifth chance of the night.
The Flyers will begin the third period with another power play as Andrew Ference was whistled for a cross-checking penalty.

text: Things have changed since the days of S1. If you have a network, the call time is much shorter. I think I remember seeing that the new guided setup (I think it was introduced with 7.2?) gets a day or two of information with the second call, making it a very short download. You can start setting up recordings over the next day or so. I'm assuming S3 uses the new guided setup. Another call goes out shortly thereafter and gets the rest of the guide info (but I'd make that connection manually to speed things up even more if I were you). If what I've read is correct, the S3 should digest that info way faster. The race is on for someone to set up and tell us how it goes!! Who is going to win??

Special to RattleandHumSports.com
Sixteen TCU football players have received All-Big 12 honors, highlighted by the unanimous selection of Devonte Fields as the Defensive Freshman of the Year.
TCU's 16 players recognized trail only Big 12 champion Kansas State (18).
Fields and fellow defensive end Stansly Maponga as well as cornerback Jason Verrett are first-team selections.
Representing the Horned Frogs on the second team are linebacker Kenny Cain, safety Sam Carter, offensive guard Blaize Foltz and defensive tackle Chucky Hunter.
Honorable-mention accolades went to wide receiver Josh Boyce, return specialist Skye Dawson, center James Fry, placekicker Jaden Oberkrom, safety Elisha Olabode, punter Ethan Perry and tailback Matthew Tucker.
The following Horned Frogs received honorable-mention notice for individual awards: tailback B.J. Catalon (Offensive Freshman of the Year), offensive tackle Tayo Fabuluje (Offensive Newcomer of the Year), Fields (Defensive Lineman of the Year), Foltz (Offensive Lineman of the Year) and Verrett (Defensive Player of the Year).
Six of the 11 starters on TCU's Big 12-leading defensive unit were first- or second-team selections. Five of those players will return next season. Cain is the only senior on the depth chart for TCU's defense.
Fields, who tops the Big 12 in tackles for loss (17 1/2) while placing second in sacks (9), is the only freshman or sophomore to be a first-team All-Big 12 pick this season. An Arlington, Texas, native, Fields was named the Associated Press Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.
Maponga, the lone Horned Frog to be a preseason All-Big 12 choice, missed two games and parts of two others due to injury. He still totaled six tackles for loss, including 3 1/2 sacks, with two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Verrett is the Big 12 leader in interceptions (6) and passes defended (20). He is the only player nationally to rank in the top 10 in both categories.
The San Antonio Express-News tabbed Verrett as its Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.

Costume Information
|I wanted to make a LocoRoco costume but thought that one giant LocoRoco would be an impractical costume. I had the thought that the top of the LocoRocos look like the top of a beret and decided to make a LocoRoco beret.
Once I'd made that I decided to make a dress to go with it. There's twenty five little felt LocoRocos appliqued onto the dress which took a while to sew but other than that this was a very simple costume to make.
Ahaha! This is brilliant, LocoRoco was such a cool game.
Love the idea the dress looks really cute with all the little LocoRoco's on it. (:
Thank you. :)
It's such a fun game isn't it? And the little yellow Loco Rocos are so cute aren't they? All of the different Loco Rocos are great in their own way but the yellow ones are probably my favourite I think. ^_^
It took ages to hand sew all the little Loco Rocos onto that dress but I was quite happy with the way they looked so I think it was worth it. ^_^
This is super cute - love the hat! :)

Who would have thought a two pairs of footwear would make such a cool photo?
Congratulations to *bnjmn* for making the ordinary seem extraordinary with this shot, and winning our Photo of the Day! Our community member from Berlin, Germany took the winning photo using a *Lomo LC-Wide* loaded with *Lomography Color X-Pro Sunset Strip 100 35mm* film.
The photo was presumably taken during one of his trips to the Baltic. The caption says 'Ausflug zur Ostsee ' which translates to trip to the Baltic in English. Go figure.
You'll find more of bnjmn's gorgeous photos in his Lomo Home.

Hawke's Bay farmers have been given little or no respite from the drought with barely a trace of rain over the weekend, and temperatures forecast to soar as high as an abnormal late-March 31deg today.
No farmers contacted by Hawke's Bay Today by early last night had received more than 3mm, and all were left waiting - or "praying" as one put it - for substantially more than the occasional drizzle forecast for the rest of the week.
This comes on the back of Finance Minister Bill English now saying the drought could cost the nation's economy up to $2 billion - double the estimate a week earlier.
"The latest advice is that somewhere between $1b and $2b will be knocked off our national income, and as every week goes by, the prospect of it being $2b instead of $1b grows," he told TVNZ's Q + A programme yesterday.
Mr English further warned that the widespread drought could potentially knock 30 per cent off New Zealand's economic growth rate in a year.
Te Pohue farmer and Federated Farmers national president Bruce Wills said "real" figures relating to Hawke's Bay drought impacts on the national economy would probably not emerge until beef and lamb returns in six months' time. A guide could be taken from recent estimates that farmers incomes for the year could be cut by one-third to a half over a year, with consequences in the towns that service the rural communities, he said. The situation has become particularly precarious in areas south of Napier, and through Central Hawke's Bay, in some cases bypassed by the most recent previous rain about 10 days ago and on February 5-6, and without any rain for more than two months.
It's been worse for the manager of Kahuranaki Station, south of Havelock North, where destocking started at the end of November.
Paul Robinson said yesterday afternoon, with a subtle hint of drizzle outside, he's shed 180 cattle and 2000 lambs. "It's the worst I can remember," he said. "We never got a spring, and it stopped raining in October. It's shot now."
He said that even if rain started falling at the rate of 25mm a week "and keeps coming" it would take until next spring to start getting back to "normal".
Selwyn Dorward, a Taihape Rd farmer in some of Hawke's Bay's driest country, west of Hastings, arrived home from Taupo yesterday to find "about 3mm" of rain in the gauge. Mangatahi horse breeder and farmer Graham De Gruchy was expecting more from the weekend weather.
"We've been praying. If we get 5-10mm, that's something, at least it's a start."
The Hastings weather station has since the start of September recorded just over 85mm of rain, compared to an historical average for the six-month period of about 200mm. There's been about 12mm in the last 10 weeks.
Practical support for stricken farmers has come with the arrival of a shipment of hay from the South Island. The hay was unloaded at Napier Port on Friday afternoon from the Chatham Island Shipping vessel MV Baldur and had been loaded at Timaru.
Another ship is scheduled to leave the South Island today, and a third later in the week, said East Coast Rural Support Trust Hawke's Bay co-ordinator Mike Barham.
Weatherwatch analyst Richard Green said the North Island needed 70-100mm of rain to break the drought. "But we don't want that all at once because the ground is so hard it would run off and create flooding. Ideally, we would like close to 100mm of rain over two to three weeks."

In the light of the recent accident to two students en route to an after school sporting fixture, it seems prudent to ask if PAUSD has a policy about students driving themselves and their peers there and how it is enforced? This is not just for sports, e.g. I know that the Paly choir has to be in San Francisco next week at 6.30 a.m. with no transport provided and the only information on how to get there is to use Caltrain, but it is up to the families to organise how they get there.
Teen driving laws are being tightened up. Are our school administrations stepping up here or what is the situation?

Agreed. This is a parent decision, not a school decision.

Once your strands are cleansed, follow with Madison Reed Nourishing Color-Enhancing Conditioner.
This month's products taught us about an acne treatment's secret identity, the at-home hair color Renaissance, "inflamm-aging," and more.
Availability: In stock
We're always on the hunt for our next favorite hair color. When we finally find it, there's no way we're letting that perfect caramel (or copper, or maybe chestnut?) drip down the drain the first time we lather up. This shampoo seals color to strands and protects it from shade-altering UV rays. What's more, the nourishing formula undoes damage from coloring, styling, and other treatments, so our new hue can truly shine.
This formula eschews color-stripping sulfates (plus parabens and gluten), instead relying on coconut oil to cleanse hair. For extra hue-preserving power, a protein from the lupine flower shields hair from UVA and UVB rays. Keratin and quinoa (yes, it's even good for your hair) give strands bounce and strength, while argan oil and aloe boost smoothness and shine.
Water, Sodium Lauroyl, Methyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl, Betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycol Distearate, Cocamidopropyl, Hydroxysultaine, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Keratin, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Hydrolyzed Quinoa, Glucono Delta Lactone, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Honey, Silicone Quaternium-3, Panthenol Trideceth-12, Calcium Gluconate, Polyquaternium-10, PEG-120 Methyl, Glucose Dioleate, Sodium Cocyl Glutamate, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyglycerin, Fragrance
This shampoo is fine but it's hard to tell if it is good at preserving color with such a small sample. I did not like the smell either.
It's pretty standard shampoo and conditioner didn't do anything overly special.
I really did not care for the scent of this and it took 2 washes to get my hair clean. For some i guess that means it's mild but to me its just time consuming and tedious. Performance was just ok. I won't be purchasing.
I get shampoo and conditioner EVERY. Month. Though frustrating, I have had plenty of brands to sample. This was really no big deal. Didn't do anything great for my hair. Meh.
I don't know if I'd purchase this, as it wasn't so amazing for my hair. The cheap stuff at WalMart does the same thing. It does smell good, tho!

Dunnhumby, a leading customer science company, has launched Dunnhumby Ventures, a seed-stage investment fund focusing on innovations in retail technology.
Dunnhumby Ventures will serve as a support mechanism for innovators, helping to fund startup businesses that are embracing data for innovations along the consumer's path to purchase. Dunnhumby Ventures will also provide strategic input and mentorship. Average initial investments will range from $100,000 to $500,000.
"We are looking for retail's game changers," said Dave Balter, global head of investments at Dunnhumby. "Dunnhumby Ventures is a strategic resource to help fund and accelerate innovations, startups and motivated entrepreneurs with tenacity. We want to partner with those who are willing to do something no one has done before. We want nothing less than to reinvent retail."
Balter, a longtime entrepreneur, startup investor and adviser, will lead a cross-organizational global team at Dunnhumby Ventures from Boston. Balter is the founder of five companies, including word-of-mouth marketing company BzzAgent, acquired by Dunnhumby in 2011, and Smarterer, an online platform that crowdsources assessment tests for recruiters and job seekers. He is currently a venture partner at Boston Seed Capital, a mentor with TechStars and is an investor and adviser to dozens of startups, including Promoboxx, FitnessKeeper and ProctorCam.

InfoScout's real-time analytics panel gives brands a comprehensive view of customer behavior, by item, across all retailers. The company's popular mobile apps incentivize shoppers to share information about their everyday purchases with InfoScout, generating insights for the company's brand clients, which include Procter & Gamble, Nestle and Unilever.
"Funding from Dunnhumby Ventures is a clear signal to the market that our company is helping shape the future of shopping," said Jared Schreiber, founder of InfoScout. "More than that, the investment Dunnhumby Ventures is making in terms of lending their insights, expertise and retail connections to us are invaluable to this business.

"The mobile and digital landscape is opening up innumerable innovative ways for customers to find value and convenience. We are always looking for creative ways to help them and earn their loyalty.

Drone legislation could put Bend co. out of business
'Hobby drones' would fall under legislation
BEND, Ore - A new bill in Salem could mean anyone who owns or uses a drone to capture images of people on the ground would face jail time -- and that could doom one high-flying Bend business.
If Senate Bill 71 passes as written now, owners of urban drones could spend 20 years in jail or a $375,000 fine.
State Sen. Floyd Prozanski, a Democrat from Eugene, introduced the bill.
"I think we all expect and want to be safe within our houses and not having unlawful searches," Prozanski said.
State Sen. John Huffman, a Republican from The Dalles, also has talked about legislation. His is geared toward restrictions on law enforcement and other public agencies.
"It's a reminder to police agencies that people do still have rights in America, and you need to be careful on how you use drones," Huffman said.
Businesses in Bend like XPro Heli say if the bills become law, it would have a profound impact on the business.
"What they're trying to do is protect people's privacy and I get that," Hans Skjersaa said Friday. "But they are throwing such a big, broad blanket."
Skjersaa started his business a year ago with a prototype, and last month had sold 40 quad-copters.
"This is a huge industry, and for me to be able to create some jobs here in Bend is kind of really a cool thing for me," Skjersaa said. "I was really excited about it. If this things passes, that's six jobs that are gone right away."
Skjersaa says the proposed legislation needs to be looked at closely, because it could have a more far-reaching effect than intended.
"You take that and say, Oh, yeah I can't do that in Oregon," Skjersaa said. "What production company in California is going to come up to Oregon to film any more? It's going to have a lot of impact on a lot of things."
Both lawmakers who are proposing legislation say it's still a work in progress. But with an estimated 30,000 drones expected to be flying over the U.S. by 2020, they say something needs to be done now.

Fantasy Football Morning Update: McCoy might play in Week 16
After last night's latest horrible game from Mark Sanchez, Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he wasn't ready to commit to a starting quarterback for Week 16. Is it finally Tebow Time? Probably not, but a fantasy owner can dream, can't he?
On to the news:
- Eagles RB LeSean McCoy (concussion) has been cleared to return by an independent neurologist, and might play this week after practicing on Monday, when he "did well," according to head coach Andy Reid. Reid also said that Bryce Brown "needs to play," so we could be looking at a timeshare in McCoy's first game back. I'll try to make sense of this when I do my Week 16 rankings on Wednesday, but both McCoy and Brown look like RB3/flex options (which is fantasy analyst-ese for "I have no idea what they're going to do").
- The Redskins don't yet know if QB Robert Griffin III (knee) will return this week against the Eagles. We could be in for another week of suspense.
- The Boston Globe notes that Patriots RB Stevan Ridley did return to Sunday night's game after fumbling twice, so Ridley owners might not need to completely panic about him being buried this week. I can't say that I completely trust Ridley to be a Week 16 workhorse, though.
- Speaking of the Pats, there's not even a hint yet about TE Rob Gronkowski's status for Week 16. Gronk made brief appearances at practice last week, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Stay tuned, and make sure you have a backup plan ready. My guess is that Gronk won't play.
- There's no Thursday game this week, but the Falcons and Lions play on Saturday. Set your lineups accordingly.
- With RB Ryan Mathews done for the season due to a broken clavicle, Curtis Brinkley is being touted as a hot fantasy pickup after carrying six times for 42 yards against the Panthers. You might remember Brinkley as the guy who carried 28 times for 55 yards when Mathews missed the season's first two games. Unfortunately, he'll probably share carries with Jackie Battle and Ronnie Brown (if active) against the Jets in Week 16, behind a terrible offensive line that was part of the reason for Mathews' problems. Don't put too many eggs in Brinkley's basket.
- Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (knee) said Monday that he plans to play this week, but players say stuff like that all the time. Let's see what happens when practice starts tomorrow.
- The Jags say that RB Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) is questionable for their Week 16 game against the Patriots. If MJD can't play, Rashad Jennings could be an interesting play if he gets cleared to return from his concussion.
- Titans WR Kendall Wright said after last night's game that he cracked a rib. Don't expect to see him this week.
- Seahawks CB Richard Sherman's appeal of his drug suspension is scheduled for Friday, so his Week 16 status is in question. However, since judgments for things like this aren't usually given immediately, the guess here is that Sherman will play.
- Oh, no. The Raiders might continue with the Tim Tebow-random series thing for QB Terrelle Pryor after putting him on for three downs against the Chiefs. Beware, Carson Palmer owners.
- We should have a better idea on Wednesday about the status of Packers WR Jordy Nelson (hamstring).
- The status of Chiefs QB Brady Quinn (ribs) is uncertain for Sunday's game, so Ricky Stanzi might start. I still don't think I'd start the Colts' defense.
- Ravens WR Torrey Smith suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Broncos. Keep an eye on his status.
- My colleague Joel Beall will be in the FOXSports.com fantasy chat room today at 3 p.m. ET. Send him some questions!
- If you have questions for me this week, you can always reach me on Facebook and Twitter.
See you back here Friday morning.

Aspirin Linked to Blinding Eye Disease »
"Jan. 22, 2013 -- Regular aspirin users are more likely to develop the "wet" form of age-related macular degeneration compared to people who rarely or never take the drug, a new study shows.
Aspirin is one of the most widely used drugs in th"...
Mechanism Of Action
Levofloxacin is a member of the fluoroquinolone class of anti-infective drugs. (See Microbiology)
Levofloxacin concentration in plasma was measured in 15 healthy adult volunteers at various time points during a 15-day course of treatment with QUIXIN® solution. The mean levofloxacin concentration in plasma 1 hour postdose, ranged from 0.86 ng/mL on Day 1 to 2.05 ng/mL on Day 15. The highest maximum mean levofloxacin concentration of 2.25 ng/mL was measured on Day 4 following 2 days of dosing every 2 hours for a total of 8 doses per day. Maximum mean levofloxacin concentrations increased from 0.94 ng/mL on Day 1 to 2.15 ng/mL on Day 15, which is more than 1,000 times lower than those reported after standard oral doses of levofloxacin.
Levofloxacin concentration in tears was measured in 30 healthy adult volunteers at various time points following instillation of a single drop of QUIXIN® solution. Mean levofloxacin concentrations in tears ranged from 34.9 to 221.1 mcg/mL during the 60-minute period following the single dose. The mean tear concentrations measured 4 and 6 hours postdose were 17.0 and 6.6 mcg/mL. The clinical significance of these concentrations is unknown.
Levofloxacin is the L-isomer of the racemate, ofloxacin, a quinolone antimicrobial agent. The antibacterial activity of ofloxacin resides primarily in the L-isomer. The mechanism of action of levofloxacin and other fluoroquinolone antimicrobials involves the inhibition of bacterial topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase (both of which are type II topoisomerases), enzymes required for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination.
Levofloxacin has in vitro activity against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive microorganisms and is often bactericidal at concentrations equal to or slightly greater than inhibitory concentrations.
Fluoroquinolones, including levofloxacin, differ in chemical structure and mode of action from β-lactam antibiotics and aminoglycosides, and therefore may be active against bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics and aminoglycosides. Additionally, β-lactam antibiotics and aminoglycosides may be active against bacteria resistant to levofloxacin. Resistance to levofloxacin due to spontaneous mutation in vitro is a rare occurrence (range: 10-9 to 10-10)
Levofloxacin has been shown to be active against most strains of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section:
Aerobic Gram-positive Microorganisms
Corynebacterium species*
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Streptococcus pneumonia
Streptococcus (Groups C/F)
Streptococcus (Group G)
Viridans group streptococci*
Aerobic Gram-negative Microorganisms
Acinetobacter lwoffii*
Haemophilus influenzae
Serratia marcescens*
*Efficacy for this organism was studied in fewer than 10 infections.
The following in vitro data are also available, but their clinical significance in ophthalmic infections is unknown. The safety and effectiveness of levofloxacin in treating ophthalmological infections due to these microorganisms have not been established in adequate and well-controlled trials.
These organisms are considered susceptible when evaluated using systemic breakpoints. However, a correlation between the in vitro systemic breakpoint and ophthalmological efficacy has not been established. The list of organisms is provided as guidance only in assessing the potential treatment of conjunctival infections. Levofloxacin exhibits in vitro minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 2 mcg/mL or less (systemic susceptible breakpoint) against most ( ≥ 90%) strains of the following ocular pathogens:
Aerobic Gram-positive Microorganisms
Enterococcus faecalis
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Streptococcus agalactiae
Streptococcus pyogenes
Aerobic Gram-negative Microorganisms
Acinetobacter anitratus
Acinetobacter baumannii
Citrobacter koseri
Citrobacter freundii
Enterobacter aerogenes
Enterobacter agglomerans
Enterobacter cloacae
Escherichia coli
Haemophilus parainfluenzae
Klebsiella oxytoca
Klebsiella pneumonia
Legionella pneumophila
Moraxella catarrhalis
Morganella morganii
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Proteus mirabilis
Proteus vulgaris
Providencia rettgeri
Providencia stuartii
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas fluorescens
Clinical Studies
In randomized, double-masked, multicenter controlled clinical trials where patients were dosed for 5 days, QUIXIN® demonstrated clinical cures in 79% of patients treated for bacterial conjunctivitis on the final study visit day (day 6-10). Microbial outcomes for the same clinical trials demonstrated an eradication rate for presumed pathogens of 90%.
