Feel Better Soon! 5 Must Dos When You're Sick
Even though you've taken all the recommended precautions, you still wake up feeling congested, sore, and miserable. The common cold or flu may happen to the best of us, but how we treat ourselves once we're sick can be the difference between a seven-day cold or one that lasts for just a few days.

As the first funding deadline for broadband stimulus arrives Thursday, Aug. 20, observers say it's hard to predict what types of grant applications will be submitted, and who will emerge as the players behind the projects.
Sunne Wright McPeak, president of the California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) -- a nonprofit that is organizing groups to apply for broadband stimulus money and is providing partial matching funds -- said this week she expects most applicants from the state to be smaller telecommunications companies. The CETF reached out to larger firms, but McPeak said they weren't interested.
"The larger companies didn't want the hassle of government stipulations. The smaller ones have been cash-strapped, so we finally got them, through all of our outreach, to realize this could be an opportunity they shouldn't pass up," McPeak said. She said her organization encouraged those companies to partner with local governments, but she didn't know how many took that advice.
On the other hand, Alan Shark, executive director of the Public Technology Institute, expects fewer submissions from local government than many anticipate.
Shark's prediction seemingly downplays the high volume of applications that last week overloaded the electronic submission system used for accepting applications. He predicts many local governments will wait for the next of the three funding windows for broadband in hopes that eligibility requirements will be loosened by the National Telecommunications Administration (NTIA) and the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) -- the two federal agencies disbursing $7.2 billion set aside in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for broadband projects.

Recurrent caries at the margins of crowns pose unique restorative challenges. Until the old crowns are removed, the dentist cannot know if there remains sufficient tooth structure and adequate shapes for the new crowns. Core buildups for crowns may be necessary to properly restore these teeth (Figures 1 and 2).
Ideally, a core buildup done for a crown should have a total occlusal convergence (TOC) between 6° and 12° and an axial wall height of at least 3 to 4 mm. A TOC less than 6° to 12° may introduce unnecessary challenges to seating. Conversely, a TOC of greater than 20° may be detrimental to retention of the final restoration. The aspect of the preparation that most requires the optimal TOC is in the cervical one third. Further, the restorative needs of the final crown dictate the amount of occlusal reduction for the preparation, with adequate dimension for structural integrity and for clearance or guidance in excursive movements.
When removing a failed restoration, the dentist may encounter remaining tooth dimensions that lack some or all of these criteria, or worse, decimated teeth. There may be multiple teeth that require buildups to create the right shape and form. Dentists generally address these important considerations by over-bulking the build-up material and then trimming it back in an ad-lib technique that can create a less than ideal result.
The dental laboratory team can help to overcome these challenges by preparing the full-contour wax-up and creating a silicone matrix for chairside fabrication of optimally shaped core buildups for crowns. Using wax-ups to create a matrix for fabricating provisional restorations is widely used. Dentists enjoy using these matrices because they incorporate the artistry and skill of the laboratory technician in helping to develop functional and beautiful provisional restorations. This completed diagnostic wax-up is the starting point for this technique (Figure 3).
Technique for Creating a Lab-Fabricated Build-Up Matrix
In the dental laboratory, the technician creates a full contoured wax-up on articulated models that best mimics the needs of the final restorations. A silicone matrix of the wax design is made for the dentist to use chairside for making the provisionals. With the final, articulated wax design still on the lab bench, the technician implements an additional step: the full-contoured wax-ups are then cut back ("prepared") on the articulator to mimic ideal intraoral preparations yet to be done by the clinician for the final crown preparations, taking into consideration the functional and esthetic needs of the proposed final crown, such as taper, wall heights, occlusal clearance, and guidance (Figure 4).
At the chair, the dentist removes the failed crowns, excavates any caries, and prepares the teeth with etchant and bonding. The build-up matrix is filled with build-up material (composite resin core material) and placed onto the preparations and allowed to set. After complete chemical set, the matrix is removed and the buildups are firmly bonded to the teeth. Any excess flash is removed and the preformed preparations (that are duplicates of the wax cutback "preparations") are simply refined (Figures 5 and 6).
As seen in Figures 1 to 6, the use of crown build-up matrices for posterior work has the obvious benefit of efficiency of fabrication. But an even more impressive use of this technique is in establishing optimal clearance for anterior guidance in anterior restorative cases.
The following case report will describe further details of the technique.
|Figure 1. Preoperative view.
|Figure 2. After caries control.
|Figure 3. Full-contour wax-up.
|Figure 4. Prepared wax-up.
|Figure 5. Chemically set buildups.
|Figure 6. Lightly prepared buildups.
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
This 78-year-old patient sought restorative treatment for recurrent caries of teeth Nos. 6 to 11 (Figure 7). She had 4 mm to 5 mm pocketing with no signs of inflammation. Records were performed and articulated models were created and sent to the laboratory. The technician created a full-contour wax-up that addressed the functional and esthetic needs of the final restorations (Figure 8).
It was clear from the preliminary study of the articulation that only a shallow guidance would be needed to disclude the posterior teeth in excursions. A custom incisal guide table was made to register the anterior guidance that was so carefully designed and developed in the wax-up (Figure 9). The custom incisal guide table plays a major role in this process, since it guides the technician to accurately assess the amount of clearance necessary for each preparation in centric, canine-rise, crossover, and protrusive excursions. If clearance for guidance was left to be performed only clinically (and therefore, without the benefit of the custom incisal guide table), the reference of the planned anterior guidance and amount of tooth reduction necessary for each tooth would be lost.
Dental Laboratory Protocol
Before preparing the wax, the technician duplicated the delicate wax-up model with a model duplicating material (SternTek Duplicating Material [Sterngold]). SternTek+ is an extremely precise, pourable, duplicating material based on addition curing silicones. The SternTek mold was poured with lab stone and was used as a model to create the provisional matrix as well as other matrices to guide in the reduction of the wax-ups (Figure 10).
Next, the full-contour wax designs were prepared (cut back), and reshaped to mimic the proposed final core buildups (completed crown preparations). The wax-ups were shaped one at a time, using the adjacent teeth, laboratory matrices, and depth cuts as a reference for wax reduction. The dental technician created these crown preparation shapes with a contemplative and deliberate process, free from the pressure and stress of clinical crown reduction (Figures 11 and 12). A new silicone matrix was made of the prepared wax-ups for chairside fabrication of the buildups (Figure 13).

|Figure 11. Prepared wax-ups.
|Figure 12. Clearance for guidance.
|Figure 13. Matrix for core buildups.
|Figure 14. After old crown removal.
Then, the technician delivered both matrices to the dentist: one for fabricating the ideal core buildups, and the other to fabricate the provisionals.
Clinical Protocol
The failed crowns were removed and the decay excavated. The previous crown, cement, caries, and excavation process leaves the tooth structure highly contaminated (Figure 14). To decontaminate the tooth, the author uses the basic techniques described by Dr. William Strupp.1 The remaining tooth structure is lightly prepared with a diamond and retraction cords placed to isolate the field (No. 7 SilTrax Epi [Pascal International]) (Figure 15). The tooth is then sequentially scrubbed and rinsed with the following agents: 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (HIBICLENS [Molnlycke Health Care]) to disinfect; Tubulicid Red (Global Dental Products) to remove the smear layer; sodium hypochlorite (Clorox) for final disinfection.1
The bonding process is started with: Etchant with 32% H3PO4 (32% Uni-Etch w/BAC [BISCO Dental Products]), Primer (ALL-BOND 3 Primer [BISCO Dental Products]), and Resin (ALL-BOND 3 Resin [BISCO Dental Products]). Core Paste XP (DenMat) is well suited for the build-up material. It is a dual-cured, fluoride releasing, low viscosity material that works well with the matrix technique described.1
When the teeth are ready for the buildup, the inside of the build-up matrix is filled with the Core Paste XP material (Figure 16), and a small amount is syringed directly onto the preparations. When filling the build-up matrix with the Core Paste XP, fill only the individual preparation areas of the matrix (compared to filling a provisional matrix contiguously from the most mesial tooth to the most distal). The matrix is then completely seated and allowed to set, undisturbed, for the duration of time established by the manufacturer for a complete chemical cure.
|Figure 15. Teeth prepared and ready for buildups.
|Figure 16. Injecting Core Paste XP (DenMat) into the silicone matrix.
|Figure 17. Following matrix removal.
|Figure 18. After high-speed finishing.
|Figure 19. Final crowns at try-in.
After the material has completely set, the matrix is removed, leaving the cured crown buildups with their preplanned forms firmly bonded to the teeth (Figure 17). Any remnant or excess flash is removed and the buildups are lightly refined with high-speed diamonds (Figure 18). The restorative process then continues through master impressions, fabrication of the temporaries (with the lab-fabricated provisional matrix), and delivery of final crowns (Figure 19).
For the dentist who utilizes preoperative articulated models and wax-ups, this technique contributes to efficient fabrication of core buildups for crowns. This technique requires no additional dentist time to implement, as the articulation and full-contour wax-ups are already in the laboratory. In this way, the knowledge and skill of the dental technician is used to guide the design of the final build-up shapes. The technician is able to capture and send digital views of the full-contour wax designs and e-mail them to the dentist for approval of the esthetics and guidance, followed by a second communication of photos of the core build-up design both in centric as well as excursion movements.
As with all prosthodontic treatment, the outcome depends on the accuracy of the initial articulation. Creating quality, articulated models will result in greater accuracy of all the steps that follow: the trial equilibration, diagnostic wax-up, provisional matrix, reduction of the wax-up for crown buildups, the crown build-up matrix, accuracy in creating crown buildups at chairside, and in fabricating esthetic and functional provisional restorations.
While accurate impressions can be made with alginate, they have limitations that can be overcome by using a vinyl polysiloxane (alginate substitute) impression material for use in diagnostic models. This impression material can be poured by the technician several times for legal records, trial equilibration, and for diagnostic articulation. The impression technique should capture all details of the full arch of teeth, the cervical margins of the teeth, as well as the adjacent soft tissue to register the landmarks that will be used in seating the silicone matrices intraorally.
The amount of viable tooth structure remaining underneath failed full-coverage restorations (crowns) is always an unknown. Dentists are often faced with nearly destroyed teeth that can border on the need for endodontic therapy to facilitate restoration.
The benefits of the technique described in this article are:
- Preoperatively designed core build-up shapes with a matrix
- Preoperative planning for optimal reduction for anterior guidance cases
- Reduced chairside time and reduced stress in restoring very damaged teeth
- No additional dentist time in implementation of the process.
Having a well planned, laboratory-designed build-up matrix available can turn a dismal clinical discovery into a calm and efficient restorative visit.
The authors wish to acknowledge the seminars and techniques of Dr. William Strupp, who carefully outlines the detailed process of creating crown buildups.

Recycling has come a long way. Now, recycled can be better than new.
Reducing Environmental Impact while Improving Economics.
To achieve true sustainability, we address the environmental and economic impact of each pavement practice from start to finish. Consumption of resources like aggregate and oil: net energy expended at each stage; greenhouse gas emissions; dust pollution; waste generation; and transportation (such as import/export) are all part of the equation. Meanwhile, performance and economics must be equal or better.
Confronting the resource crisis, from rock to oil.
Gravel pits are scarring our landscape. Sky high aggregate and oil prices are the new reality. Our strategies to reclaim aggregates and recycle in-place asphalt eliminate the need for virgin rock. Oil usage is reduced too: fewer in-and-out truckloads mean less fuel consumed, and recycled aggregate mixes often require less oil-based emulsion.
Reducing emissions: from greenhouse gases to dust.
Our processes that re-use and rehabilitate on-site materials, from pavement to soil, eliminate the cost, energy use, air pollution and disruption caused by importing and exporting materials to and from jobsites. The ratios are startling: 40 truckloads to 1 or better, versus conventional methods.
When asphalt recycling first started, it was inferior. Those days are long gone. Pavement Recycling Systems (PRS) is at the forefront of the advances in recycling technology and application.
Green Engineering.
The Federal Highway Administration has adopted an official policy on recycling. Builders and owners are recognizing the cost efficiencies and value of recycling strategies. Increasing material costs and environmental pressures have intensified the market need. Advanced technologies (such as sophisticated additives), specialized equipment, and years of proven performance have eliminated the risk. Recycling has come of age. Pavement Recycling Systems has been part of that evolution.
From project evaluation, to pulverization, to mixing, to application, Pavement Recycling Systems has developed a series of engineering best practices for pavement preservation and recycling. Best practice engineering for roadways means building the required structural section and wearing course at the best price. Today's real world problems also require all of us to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases.
PRS combines best engineering with best practice energy use by finding the best way to use in-place materials. Since the turn of the century, we have invested substantial R&D resources seeking new and better ways to improve and use in-situ materials. The result is superior pavement sections at much lower cost.
New Products, New Research.
Using and improving existing technologies like Cold In-place Recycling, Full Depth Reclamation and Soil Stabilization, PRS already has a significant, positive effect on local street budgets.
New technologies we have developed include RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) road slurries for pavement preservation; warm-asphalt recycling where 100% of an asphalt roadway is recycled, and cement-treated recycled aggregates as a pavement's load bearing section.
Recouping investments in aging infrastructure.
America needs its roads, but they are aging. Vehicle miles traveled in the U.S. have increased five-fold over the past 50 years to more than 3 trillion vehicle miles a year. Roadways are becoming distressed, carrying heavier loads than originally intended.
Since 2004, unprecedented price increases for steel, cement, asphalt and construction equipment have translated into a 30% plus rise in the cost of street and highway construction. At the same time, federal, state and local governments continue to face shortfalls in funding for roadway construction and maintenance.
PRS pavement preservation and recycling strategies help agencies meet these challenges. We prolong pavement lifecycles' value for their investment in street reconstruction largely by preserving or recouping prior investments.

2013 was a year to remember for Arsenal supporters.
From January through the last game of the year in Newcastle, Arsenal have been in magnificent form. In fact, if you combine the great finish to the 2012/13 campaign with this season's record Arsenal have tallied more points in the Premier League this year than any other club.
There have also been fantastic individual performances, some legendary matches and some stunning moves by the Club upstairs.
But what stood out the most? We turned to our panel of supporters in the USA and Canada to find out what they thought were the most memorable moments of the past year.
Question: What do you think was Arsenal's top highlight from 2013?
Zara Bashir
I remember doing one of these earlier this year outlining the highs and lows of the 2012-2013 season and I said it would mostly be one for me to forget. Thankfully things have picked up since then and I am feeling much more positive about the club now than I did a year ago. While reflecting on the year since January, I can clearly think of pivotal games, goals and signings that will be imprinted in the memories of most if not all Gooners.
In terms of matches, it is difficult to top the effect Bayern away had on the end of the 2012-2013 season. The win was underestimated by many that day as the team got eliminated from the Champions League anyway but it is what turned our season around. The result that day sparked a run of form not seen all season. Not only did Arsenal beat the eventual Champions League winners on their home ground, they also kept a clean sheet. Not many teams that have played at the Allianz Arena that season could say the same. In their final 10 matches the team went unbeaten, recording eight wins, two draws and a top four spot. Hopefully the team's focus, determination and performance from that day in the Arena can be replicated again for the upcoming tie against the Munich team.
With signings, it is difficult not to stress how monumental the Ozil signing was for the club. The fact that the club were able to secure the services of a player of his pedigree at the start of his peak. The signing sent a message to the world - Arsenal meant business and the club was finally ready to play with the big boys.
There is one goal that Arsenal fans and football fans will most likely be talking about for years to come: Jack's goal at home against Norwich.
The signing has no doubt inspired the team as evidenced by the position in the league and the fanbase. We were able to dream again. The club's performances so far this season have also made me feel grateful about another set of significant contracts that were signed in January. The re-signing of Arsenal's Brtish Core in Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey and Carl Jenkinson and Theo Walcott soon after for new five-year deals showed the club's commitment to build a team around a strong basis of talented young players.
In terms of goals, there is one goal that Arsenal fans and football fans will most likely be talking about for years to come and that is Jack's goal at home against Norwich. Cazorla to Giroud to Wilshere to Giroud to Wilshere to the back of the net all in matter of seconds. Even though it was the first of four goals that were scored on Norwich that day, it was one-touch football at its absolute best. Wengerball at its finest. Wenger even rated it among the top three Arsenal goals he has seen in his 17 years at the club and new boy Ozil referred to it as a "Playstation goal".
Josh Ellis
Sports communications
Obviously, and as always, Zara makes fantastic points and gives a great account of what happened over the past year. For me though, one match stands out.
It's the match that set everything in motion. It's the match that is the reason Arsenal top the table. If Arsenal do not defeat Newcastle on the final day of the 2013 season, there is likely no Ozil, there is no matchup against Bayern in the Champions League and there is no lead at the mid-way point of the season.
I lost sleep before that final match of the season, and had the Gunners failed to win, surely I'd have had many restless nights after. The lead-up to and the eventual final game of the season were vital to the health club as a whole and the final whistle of the final match, though not a trophy, was the highlight of the 2013 year for me because of how important it was.
Joel McNamara
I think Zara covered the majority of my Best of 2013 list, but I also have to add last season's finale against Newcastle. It may seem a little pitiful when you consider where Arsenal currently sit in the Premiership table, but back in May this fixture was do-or-die in terms of our Champions League aspirations, so for me the victory was memorable for its sheer sense of relief, if nothing else.
On a somewhat related note (since I'm assuming he was at least aware of what was achieved during that game), I agree that Mesut Ozil's arrival some four months later has to be the most significant event on the 2013 Arsenal calendar. The intent that it signaled to Arsenal's Premiership rivals and subsequently the bar that it raised within the squad have galvanized the club's performances in the following months.
Whether or not Ozil's arrival had an effect on Aaron Ramsey's form, you've got to say the Welshman's continued ability to just play out-of-his-mind football for the majority of the fall has to be the final standout of this last year. Ramsey's goals against Liverpool, Norwich, Swansea and Cardiff all serve to underline a hugely successful second half of 2013, both for himself and the club.

The Gurus (New York)
The Gurus formed in Greenwich Village around early 1966, when jeweler Ron Haffkine came up with the idea of forming a Middle Eastern-c*m-rock combo. However, after their two singles had been recorded, the group began to wobble with the departure of Jonathan Talbot for the New York Electric String Ensemble. The cancellation of the LP's release was the final straw for the struggling band, though the album, The Gurus Are Hear!, was resurrected for belated CD release by Sundazed in 2003, along with some bonus cuts of unissued outtakes and alternate versions. As it turned out, however, the best of their tracks had already come out on their two official singles (which are, fortunately, included on the album); the rest of the album was not quite as exotic, and didn't feature material as strong as the songs that had made it onto the 45s. Bassist Michael "Jason" Weinstein, who'd replaced Talbot in the Gurus, can also be heard as a harmonica player on the Rascals' 1967 number one single "Groovin'." ~ Richie Unterberger

It was a typical summer day on July 13, 2008 in a remote valley in Afghanistan when a body of American soldiers were ambushed by Taliban militants and in the resulting clash, nine US soldiers died and 27 were wounded. Army units were stationed in a small remote combat outpost near the village of Wanat when over 200 Taliban fighters swarmed over their position. This was the deadliest attack on US forces since the beginning of the Afghanistan war. Family members of those killed have enlisted the support of Senator Jim Webb to get at the truth. Why were the men in such a remote area? What was their mission? Who ordered the mission?
Reality is all too often American troops are in isolated areas of Afghanistan which calls into question the mission of our presence in that country. Is the goal protecting all areas of Afghanistan? Is the goal securing specific areas? Until these questions are answered it is difficult explaining our presence and our goals in Afghanistan.

Although CenturyLink (NYSE:CTL) was the primus inter pares of the rural telecom sector before its recent dividend reduction, we have also been covering its two largest competitors -- Frontier Communications Corporation (NYSE:FTR) and Windstream Corporation (NASDAQ:WIN). Windstream's shares generated a negative 22% total return in 2012, but bounced back by 4.2% because investors are relieved that Windstream isn't cutting its dividend. We began warming up to Windstream's 11.5% because its shares had been beaten so badly throughout 2012, and because we were expecting it to ease back on its capital investment program in 2013. We were pleased to see that Windstream's management confirmed our expectations on its CapEx, and that it would reduce its capital expenses to $800M-$850M versus the $1.1B spent in 2012. Because Windstream has maintained its dividend while CenturyLink recently cut its dividend, and because Frontier has cut its dividend twice since it acquired Verizon's remaining rural wireline operations, its dividend yield is well above its telecom peers.
Source: Bloomberg LP
Windstream recently reported Q4 2012 adjusted EPS of $.11/share, which was two pennies shy of meeting the analyst consensus, and was a decline from the $.19 adjusted EPS achieved in Q4 2011. WIN's pro forma revenue declined by 1.67% in Q4 2012 on a year-over-year basis, and this was a regression from the 0.83% achieved in Q3 2012, 1.18% in Q2 2012 and the 0.5% achieved in Q1 2012. This was worse than the 1.5% achieved at CenturyLink for Q4 2012. One piece of good news for Windstream stakeholders is that Windstream continues to generate the narrowest year-over-year decline in its access lines, moreso than CenturyLink and Frontier, as well as AT&T (NYSE:T) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ).

Despite the heavy emphasis Windstream has made towards strategic communications services, the number of High-Speed Internet and integrated Services customers only increased by 55bp year-over-year, and decreased by 14bp in the linked quarter. CTL's 3.5% and FTR's 1.56% year-over-year growth rates exceeded Windstream's. WIN's year-over-year Internet growth was weaker than the 1.4% growth at Verizon, but at least it was better than the 23bp decline that AT&T saw. However, AT&T still has more Internet customers than Verizon, CenturyLink and Windstream combined.

Another area that Windstream is leading its rural telecom peers in is the digital television segment. Until Frontier recently discontinued offering DirecTV as part of its bundles, all three companies had satellite television partnerships with DISH Network (NASDAQ:DISH) and DirecTV (DTV). Windstream and CenturyLink also offer a proprietary digital television service. However, this is a case of good news and bad news. The good news is that Windstream has more than four times as many digital TV customers as CTL. The bad news is that Windstream's digital TV growth has stagnated, while CenturyLink's PRISM TV growth has been steadily picking up. CenturyLink's PRISM TV service has seen its customer count nearly double in the last 12 months, whereas Windstream's digital television subscriber count has stagnated.

Windstream Business' revenues grew by 3.3% in Q4 2012 on a pro forma basis versus the prior year's comparable quarter and reached $916.5M. The key driver for Windstream Business' revenues continues to be its data and integrated services, which has offset the continued decline in voice and long distance services. Data and integrated service revenues became the largest revenue source for Windstream Business in Q1 2011, and have reached $397.9M in Q4 2012 (9.5% year-over-year growth. Windstream's Consumer revenues declined by 1.56%, as a 4.87% growth in broadband revenues was not enough to offset a 4.97% decline in voice and long distance revenues.
Source: Windstream Financial Supplement
Windstream generated $534M in operating cash flows during the quarter and $238M in free cash flows. Windstream's free cash flows would be higher, except for planned capital investment expenditures this year. We previously discussed how Windstream expects its CapEx to decline after this year, which is expected to result in increased free cash flows in 2013. Over 36% of Windstream's CapEx in 2012 was due to its fiber-to-the-tower ramp-up, as well as integration of PAETEC. Windstream declared its 27th straight quarter of a $.25/share dividend, and this represents a 11.6% yield based on the December 20th intraday price of $8.60/share. Windstream has $910M in upcoming debt maturities, and has a $1.25B revolving credit line to pay it down ($1.235B remaining capacity). The company has generated $676M in FCFs in 2012, and it had a 76% payout ratio based on its dividend payments in relation to adjusted FCFs. We believe that the company will generate a similar level of adjusted FCFs in 2013 to enable it to sustain its $1/share annualized dividend, and to chip away at its $9B in debt.
In conclusion, Windstream is at a much better entry point now at $8.60/share than the $12/share price when we were contemplating it in December, and the $9.30 it was trading at in August. We can't believe that the company's shares were beat up beyond recognition in 2012, and even in 2011. One thing we believe management must do is sign a wireless resale agreement with Sprint (NYSE:S) in order to match what CenturyLink has with Verizon and Frontier has with AT&T. We are encouraged that Windstream is expecting its revenue and OIBDA for 2013 to stabilize, and the combination of these trends, as well as its completion of certain targeted capital investments will enable it to maintain its lofty $1/share (11.6% dividend yield) for 2013 and beyond.

On May 1, 2003 husband, father, son and friend, US Army Pfc. Jesse Givens died in Iraq in the service of his country. He was 34 years old. Givens was parked in an M-1 main battle tank alongside the bank of the Euphrates River in Al Habbaniyah, Iraq. The riverbank gave way, resulting in the tank falling into the river. His comrades tried desperately and unsuccessfully to free him. Ironically, Pfc. Jesse A. Givens drowned in the desert…

I just want to preserve the moment when Father Jonathan Morris says on FOX News, "If you have an imaginary friend, there's something wrong with you."
Would anyone like to break the news to him…?
(via Atheist Media Blog)
ahahaha… Amazing.
There goes another irony meter.
I swear to dog, I'm convinced "Father Morris" is actually Dave Foley of "Kids in the Hall".
It's funny how uncomfortable they all get right after he says that.
I would love to hear him describe how you tell the difference between real and imaginary friends.
That would be priceless.
I dare say there is a LOT more evidence that Santa is real than God being real. We see the cookies being eaten every year. He's spotted all around town and even shown on Radar on TV. When was the last time the local new station had this story…"Jesus was seen raising people from the dead downtown tonight, watch tonight at 11 for the complete report."
I hate how priests are often under the impression that they are qualified to give psychological advice.
He-he. That just makes me laugh. I do think he means well, of course, but he doesn't seem to realize how funny he's being.
Sweet, sweet irony…
@ benjdm: my irony meters used to last for years before I became an atheist. Now I have to buy them by the gross…
Yes, if you have an imaginary friend, there is something wrong.
can't… breathe… sides… hurt….
I LOLed … at him.
I have to agree with him. I don't believe that it is healthy to have an imaginary friend either. Especially when you don't even recognise the fact.
Someone needs to make parts of this into a ringtone.
Morris is known for saying some outlandish stuff, it seems he's Fox's favorite catholic priest. I first encountered him here and I was astounded at what he said.
Looking at some of the other videos of him on YouTube it seems like he's about 5% Catholic priest and 95% usual right-wing talking points regurgitator.
But of course he's on Fox News, he supports their agenda fully.
At 2:30 in the link you posted he announces:
How else can we explain something like the intricacy of the human eye…
How can he not realize that God is the ultimate imaginary friend??
And ACN mentioned Morris talking about the intricacy of the human eye…is Morris so completely uneducated that he's never heard of the animals with simple eyebuds that merely detect light? OF COURSE something simpler than the human eye can still function as a simple eye! How can they not know this?? People like that love to use the complex clock argument as well, have they never heard of sundials??
*facepalm SEVERAL TIMES*
Hilarious. Try convincing him that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are imaginary.
Cafeeine, that clip was even more absurd. Using microscopes and telescopes are bad science? If 90% (apparently a figure he pulled out of his ass) of Americans believe it, it must be true?
But the one I really laughed at was the woman who said giving birth would convince anyone of miracles. Ha! That's what made me pro-choice. Miraculous, I did not find it. Couldn't take my eyes off my daughter when she was out but miraculous? That fucking hell? Fuck no! I made sure not to repeat that experience.
The Catholic god isn't even a very good imaginary friend; he's more like an imaginary enemy.
I think this is an occasion for the classic Picard/Riker:
When the fail is so strong, one facepalm is simply not enough.
The Catholic god isn't even a very good imaginary friend; he's more like an imaginary enemy.
'Snort, cough, choke.' Damn good thing I'm only drinking water this morning. Caffeine out the nose hurts.
Well, he has an imaginary friend, who also watches everything he does. Creepy!
That was good for a refreshing laugh.
ahahahahaha that is absolutely hilarious.
it hurrrrts. can't. laugh. any. more.
Why did they have to cut to the next story? I would have loved to hear him expound on this "imaginary friends are bad for you" theory.
well I got my LOL for day. Thanks!
There's something off about this.
It didn't seem like a regular slip of the tongue, it looked like he was waiting patiently, on several occasions to make that point….
So deep rooted that he reflected on it and still didn't realize the irony.
Hilarious. Now, if only the priest understood the irony of his comments.
I needed a good laugh, and really nice to have it on my birthday too!
Thanks Pop Morris, for giving us a few facepalm moments.
counting all the saints, plus gawd and jeebus and his suposed virgin mother this man has a whole bevey of imaginary friends

Art critics have also likened her to Antony Gormley, creater of the Angel of the North, who likes to make big statements. However, he works alone and Ms Orta likes to collaborate.
Some of her work will be familiar to a young audience. Habitent was used in the Red Hot Chilli Peppers' video for Can't Stop in 2003.
Next, her work will be on display to what is likely to be an older audience when she creates her first installation at the Victoria & Albert Museum with 50 models wearing combat suits with Lucy's text applied in gold leaf with crystal incrustations.
"At the moment, we're waiting for the Swarovski crystals," says Lucy from her office at the London College of Fashion. "I'm not making the garments from scratch: we've bought the combat suits and I'm working with the technicians here who are making the hoods."
Lucy was appointed the inaugural Rootstein Hopkins Chair of Fashion in 2001 and she loves the fact that in London she is able to engage with the "top thinkers who are deciphering the nature of fashion." Nexus Architecture is an ongoing project which creates "a bond between people through the wearing of garments".
Phrases and statements will be inscribed on the combat suits. "It's a transformation of the army combat suit. There is a stigma, because one associates it with the war, and it's an interesting time because it's so close to the transfer of power in Iraq."
Lucy says that the reaction from the audience contributes to the installation itself. This urge to create a social bond - a strong theme in her work - came from a meeting with the philosopher Paul Virilio many years ago. "He was very interested in the fact that families were fracturing. It made me think about the consequences," she says.
Another project was Refuge Wear, where temporary mobile architecture or individual shelters were "a metaphor for collectivity: being under one membrane and skin". The images of Lucy's work can be interpreted as a fight against social exclusion and the need to belong. Yet she recognises the need for personal space once you have formed a link with other people. "I think it's important to be able to separate and reflect, then come back again," she says.
One invitation she extended was to come to a picnic table in Dieuze, in north-east France. Out of a population of 3,000 - much dispersed in rural areas - 1,500 people "who wouldn't normally find themselves around a picnic table," joined the party. "Art is something that can be made with other people," she says.
A fashion graduate from Nottingham Trent University, Lucy lives in Paris with her husband, Jorge Orta, the Argentinian artist and architect. "Paris is the heart," she says. "It's a place for meditation, for our thought processes." They work collaboratively as well as on their own projects. They also have a work space called The Dairy. "It was the first industrial dairy in the Brie region," she explains. It is used for master-classes and for artistic research. It also provides a storage home for much of their artwork. It's full of army surplus including Red Cross ambulances, stretchers, First Aid boxes and life-jackets.
Lucy says that she is able to find inspiration wherever she goes. "I was in Birmingham last week working on a regeneration programme, before that I was in Rome - for the first time ever, if you can believe that. I loved being in the Medici Gardens and reflecting on the city and I was bowled over by the Pantheon - completely stunned."

Birth unit reopens for crash emergency
JUST three days after closing down indefinitely due to staff shortages, the Blue Mountains birthing unit had to reopen temporarily when a fatal car crash blocked the Great Western Highway for several hours.
The incident on Thursday evening has highlighted the precarious position pregnant women in the area now face.
Women previously booked into Blue Mountains have been told they must travel either to Lithgow or Nepean - which is an hour-long trip for some.
Although the Sydney West Area Health Service said the reason for the closure was staff shortages, specifically a lack of obstetric and anaesthetic cover, the hospital was able to obtain coverage during the closure.
Yesterday a spokeswoman for the service said there were no births or women presenting in labour to Blue Mountains on Thursday night.

I thought hard about doing this myself with my old two door. A couple of things to keep in mind:
The roof is structural in those trucks. I had a parts truck with the roof cut off, and the doors wouldn't open and close because the body was so flexy, and it was rust free. You'd definately have to build a cage in it.
The roof is only very thin tin. A few times on and off, and it will probably warp beyond putting back on.
I don't know if they are still in business, but there was a company in the past that had a cali-style kit to remove the center section of an S-truck (think t-tops without the center bar) I thought about using one of those kits, then whacking the rear of the roof off, and having a canvas top built at a boat place for the rear. When all the top material is off, it would only have a targa bar like a samurai. I think that would look pretty cool.

Watch Can We Help in high quality on iviewwatch on iview
Greg Manson and Cindy-Lu Bailey
Greg Mansons home, in the middle of his organic pecan orchard, is a treasure trove, a reminder of his days as an antique collector and furniture restorer.
[Greg Manson] I still need to collect furniture every now and again because I store things in the shed and weve got a big rat problem here because weve got a pecan orchard so I went to a garage sale one day and I bought this particular cupboard and one day I was mucking about in the shed and needed somewhere to put some spanners so I levered this drawer open and found a large envelope full of various bits of paper and photos and stuff.
Now, as Greg will tell you, finding odds and ends in old drawers is pretty common and he was about to throw the package out when something unusual caught his eye.
[Greg] I noticed one of the letters was addressed to a house which was probably only about 200 yards from where I grew up, so my curiosity was peaked, so I opened it up and had a look and finally realised this was all someones personal effects.
[Greg looking through the items in his shed] Theres lots of newspaper clippings, strips of positives which are not easily come by. There you go, Amateur Swimming Union of Australia National Open record. So it became obvious to me that this had been lost and that I should do what I could to try and return it to the rightful owner.
It seems that its rightful owner happens to be a celebrated star of the pool, Cindy-Lu Fitzpatrick. Profoundly deaf since birth, Cindy-Lu made her mark in the eighties competing in Commonwealth and Olympic Games from the age of sixteen. Despite her high profile, Greg has spent the last 4 years trying to contact her.
[Greg] The stuff is deteriorating and Ive done what I could to stop it getting even more mouldy and decayed but with the climate around here, weve just had vast amounts of rain and everything is mouldy so there is a sense of urgency that if I dont get it back to her within the next few months, to a year, it will become a massive sludge and it will be lost forever.
So he decided to make one last attempt to find Cindy-Lu and he contacted us at Can We Help?. Knowing the internet would be a vital channel of communication for the deaf swim star this was our first port of call. We searched through countless links trying to find some way of getting in contact with Cindy-Lu. A few days later we struck gold.
We found Cindy-Lu living in a beach suburb north of Sydney. She retired from swimming in 1997 and is now a lecturer in the sign-language Auslan. But the memories of her former career are never far from her mind.
In her heyday, Cindy-Lu picked up 19 gold, 3 silver and four bronze medals for Australia at the Deaflympics, not to mention Commonwealth Games and national accolades too and today, four of the twelve records she achieved during her career still stand.
[Cindy-Lu Bailey O.A.M (voice of translator)] In terms of my memorabilia its so important to me. I have no idea what I might be missing. Im just trying to think what I might have lost and I can honestly tell you I have no idea.
[Greg] To me, its an ethical issue. When you work with vintage stuff and antiques and other peoples stuff, and dead peoples possessions and stuff thats been passed down or lost by families there is a certain amount of responsibility that goes with it. Theres not a lot of ethical behaviour in todays world so I think if you can do the right thing now and again, its for the betterment of everybody and I actually mean that!
[Cindy-Lu] Im starting to feel quite excited about whats in the box. Im curious and Im looking forward to meeting the person who has kept it on my behalf for such a long period of time. I really appreciate that because not many people would do that, I think, go to that amount of effort to keep something for somebody else.
[Greg] Im looking forward to handing the stuff back to her personally because I think the look on her face will be interesting and probably worth the effort.
Greg met Cindy-Lu at her local swimming centre.
[Cindy-Lu] I cant explain, almost lost for words. My emotions are racing all over the place especially when I was looking through everything and realised that Id lost all this stuff and I had no recollection of that, I cant understand how.
[Cindy-Lu] Where did you find all this?
[Greg] In an old sideboard at a garage sale in Murwillumbah.
[Cindy-Lu] Really, actually my Mum lives there. Now Im going to have to do some investigating of my own and talk to my Mum about how it turned out that way.
[Cindy-Lu] I so appreciate you holding on to it all these years, youve got me, big time (they hug).
[Greg] Im glad I could do it.
[Cindy-Lu] I feel honoured that there is a man like that around who would keep something for such a long period of time and feel that its worthwhile to hold on to and try and find me and I just know if ever I found something, like he found my stuff, I would do the same thing. Im just so thankful to him.
[Greg] Of course its satisfying to return it because it was a long hard road to actually find her and now that weve managed to return her stuff and seeing how happy she is to get it back well its a job well done.

Rheem RAMB 036JBZ won't run.
Hi, folks,
I've been searching high and low for more specific information on this problem but still keep coming up with the same information.
The problem: I have no air conditioning! I turn the thermostat to cool and go check the outdoor unit (condenser?). I hear the buzzing everyone talks about and see the contact relay has been pulled down and is making contact. I have cleaned off the contacts as they looked a little dirty. I turned my meter to VAC and checked the low voltage wires coming from the indoor unit. It reads 40. I know it should read 24. Maybe I'm not using the meter right, it didn't come with any instructions. I'm better with an architect's scale.
This unit does not have a high pressure reset button. I'm thinking about installing a high pressure sledge hammer, though.
The capacitor isn't bulging or leaking.
I tried to get the fan to turn while the contact is made but nothing happens there, either.
I checked the connections at the compressor and nothing is burnt or loose.
I checked the automobile type fuse on the Lennox circuit board on the indoor unit and it's good.
I tried to check the low voltage there as well and get 40, same as outside.
So, I just learned there is a fan relay. There's no information about where it is or how to test it. If I knew where it was I could at least throw the meter at it.
At this point, I don't know whether to sh!t or go blind.
The troubleshooting I've learned is to eliminate variables but none of this is making sense to me. What I've gleaned from different sites is to replace the contactor, capacitor and the relay (fan relay? contactor relay? Hell, I don't know.).
I'm one of those folks who is under-employed, that is, Lost my job and had to take something that pays a lot less. I can't afford to throw parts at this problem.
Please help. The dogs are panting 24/7 and their breath is dreadful.
Check for high voltage at the contactor, should have 120 volts to ground from each individual leg and 240 across each leg, from one to the other. Again, at the contactor.
A capacitor can look brand new and be bad. You'd need a meter capable of testing uf/mfd (microfarad) or simply buy another cap of the exact same size (uf and voltage although you can increase voltage but never decrease) and install it.
A pressure switch would cut off the low voltage signal so the contactor would not pull in (as well as buzz) so that's not it. If you have low voltage at the condenser then your fuse on the furnace control board will always be good. No fuse, no low control voltage.
Have you checked to see if the breaker to the condenser is on? Check that, reset it even if it is in the ON position, check for 120 volts to ground at the condenser from each leg (at contactor) as well as verify 240 volts across both legs (if no 240 volts present from one leg to the other than you have a high voltage electrical problem such as a bad breaker or broken wire) and if all of that is present than it'd be a safe bet the capacitor indeed is bad.
I would replace the capacitior ...if...you have 240 at terminals on contactor going to compressor......thats the cheapest...caps run about 25-30 dollars...:yes:
Rheem RAMB 036JBZ won't run.
If I knew where your mothers lived I 'd go kiss them!:thumbup:
It looked like everything was pointing to the cap. However, Doc, I followed your instruction to check voltages at the contact. Red wire: 120. Black wire: 0. The breakers were all working. I've never known a blown breaker to allow it to switch back on without tripping again. Ben verified it would be the cap IF I didn't have 120v at both wires.
There was power going to the breaker and power at its' terminals but still nothing at the black wire at the contact. Doc, you nailed it on the high voltage electrical problem!
I disconnected the black wire from the breaker and found a bit of melted wire and insulation. Something got in there! I hope it was an earwig. Those things are creepy. I cleaned off the wire, reconnected to the terminal and (turned the power back on) checked the voltage. 120 at both legs! I got so excited I actually heard my butt pucker! I ran in the house giggling like an idiot and switched the thermostat to Cool. The call was made and I got an answer!!
Thank you both so much for your time! If you ever need help with Photoshop, I'm your guy! Your next logo design is on me!
Forever grateful, :thumbsup:
You're welcome, bud.
its people like you that make what we do enjoyable....glad to help...ben:thumbup:
Thanks again, guys. I need to pay this forward. I need to search graphics forums or something else where I feel somewhat competent, and do unto others. About the butt pucker thing, it was in a GOOD way!

Following the success of A Girl is a Half-formed Thing, Everlasting Lane and The White Goddess: An Encounter, we are proud to be able to bring you another superb work from an exciting new talent.
Beginning in the early 1990s, Randall is a satirical alternative history of the heady years of Cool Britannia and the emergence of the Young British Artists. It asks what would have happened if Damien Hirst had never arrived? If someone else had become the most notorious and influential young British artist?
Early on in this bravura debut we are informed that Hirst was hit and killed by a train in 1989 ("apparently when drunk") – and the focus of everyone's attention falls instead on Randall. Randall – a big, lumbering ape of a man – is a genius of language as much as art, supremely able to baffle, bemuse and amuse the press, public and all around him. He makes a fortune, causes chaos, changes the art world – the whole world – and provides brilliant quips every step of the way: "There's only two things you can do with art: make it, and buy it. Everything else – talking about it, thinking about it, selling it, looking at it – either comes under one of those two, or doesn't count."
As well as providing a sharp, smart commentary on art and capitalism, there's a soft beating heart to Randall. Above everything else, this is a story of love and friendship and loss, as seen through the eyes of Randall's sidekick, Vincent – a narrator very much in the traditional of Nick Carraway of The Great Gatsby or Charles Ryder of Brideshead Revisited. It is touching as well as funny, humane as well as wonderfully cruel. It is a book we expect to get both literary acclaim and notoriety. It will kick ass.
Praise for Randall
Gibbs has produced the sort of novel you pray for as a reviewer – one that you can actually enjoy and not have to search through desperately in order to find something to praise. -- Tibor Fischer, The Guardian
Gibbs's novel is more than mischief: as with all the best lampoons, it dissects things that really matter and have gone awry -- Toby Lichtig, The Telegraph
By the end – with a shift in point of view to Justine, as she and Vincent head for an inevitably messy rapprochement – you feel Gibbs has worked a double shift, disguising a well-turned tale of family secrecy as an acerbic essay on recent cultural history without short-changing the demands of either form. -- Anthony Cummins, The Observer
An extremely funny satire of the dirty business or art curation, archiving, buying and selling [...] slowly reveals itself as a moving account of friendship, love and loss, coupled with the desire to sift the authentic from the inauthentic, This clever and accomplished transition is relayed in Gibbs' charming voice, rich in depth and confidence and as knowingly precise as the deftest of brush strokes. – Lee Rourke, The New HumanistIn many ways Randall doesn't feel like a debut, or rather doesn't feel like the many debuts which have been written too early, before the author knew what they wanted to say, how to say it and most importantly, how the two meet. It has style and aplomb, and is brimful of brilliance. - John Self, AsylumThis is not a conventional novel, and Jonathan Gibbs is not a conventional writer [...] Randall is exciting and energetic even as it stymies its readers. The questions circling around the near-mythical figure at the book's center, filtered through Vincent's eyes or through his artworks, are never fully resolved—but the point of satire has never been to provide answers. – Jeffrey Zuckerman, 3:AM MagazineRandall not only captures the slightly hysteric mood of this period, but also nails its target with deftness and a degree of affection. It is perhaps successful because that hint of amused fondness balances its satirical offensiveness. But don't take that to mean that Randall's satire is insipid, it is exquisitely cleansing and gloriously funny. - Anthony Brown, Time's Flow StemmedFuck me, this is a fucking good book. Aside from having the obvious perks of 'shit that I like to read about' (very few characters, mad thoughtful leading man, scandal, just being generally a bit fucked up) it is written so fucking beautifully that you feel like this man actually existed (read full review) – Book Cunt
Sharp, funny, and cerebral, Randall is a cool book with a big heart, the story of one of the biggest parties of the Nineties and its long, slow morning after. -- Anjali Joseph
A satiric but moving novel about the art world that takes us from the YBA scene in London in the 90s to the penthouses of New York two decades later. It's all made up, Damien's not going to sue, but at the same time, it rings mysteriously true. -- Giles Foden
Told in luminous, biting prose, Jonathan Gibbs' debut novel is a rare delight. Brilliant on art and money (neither of which are easy subjects), this is a novel that is at once funny and heartbreaking, intelligent and fiercely gripping. A book whose characters sing on the page - I missed them as soon as I finished the last few beautiful paragraphs. This will be yet another hit for Galley Beggar Press. -- Alex Preston
Alex also added:
I loved the narrative voice, very Nick Carraway.
