Game Notes: Campbell at Coastal Carolina
BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Campbell will head to Conway, S.C. on Saturday, Feb. 18, taking on Big South rival Coastal Carolina at 2:30 p.m. in Kimbel Arena.
With six regular season games remaining, the Lady Camels are 13-10 overall and 6-6 in Big South play after taking an 89-68 win over High Point at home last Saturday. Campbell shot nearly 78 percent in the first half of the game, taking a 19 point lead into the break, and finished the game with a 65.5 clip.
The mark is the team's best shooting percentage since Jan. 17, 2005, when Campbell hit 67.4 percent (29-43) of its shots and defeated Longwood 83-56. Campbell's 89 points and its 21 point margin of victory are both season-highs.
Four Lady Camels scored in double figures, with 18 points apiece from Tonisha Baker, Jazmine Cooper and Katelyn Bass. Baker piled on seven assists, four boards and three steals, while Bass collected six rebounds and three steals. Cooper, meanwhile, tacked on a career-high four blocks and four steals.
Sophomore forward Roslyn Presley added 12 points on 6-of-6 shooting, adding four rebounds. Freshman Kiera Gaines paced CU on the glass with 10 rebounds, chipping in five points, four assists and a pair of blocks. Senior Amanda O'Neill added eight points and four boards.
The Lady Camels posted their seventh 20-plus assist game with 26, while forcing 20 turnovers for the 10th time this season. The win marked number 473 for Lady Camel head coach Wanda Watkins.
Baker leads the Lady Camels on the season at 13.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, tacking on a Big South leading 2.7 steals. Bass and Cooper also average double figures at 10.8 and 10.0 points per game, respectively, with the pair adding 5.8 boards each. Senior guard Kate Cloxton adds 6.6 points and 5.1 assists per game.
Coastal Carolina is 12-10 on the season and 5-8 in Big South play since dropping two straight and five of seven, all conference games. The Chanticleers are one of three teams in the conference allowing opponents to shoot less than 40 percent from the field (39.1) and 30 percent from three point range (29.7), giving up just 59.2 points per game.
Freshman Shatia Cole leads the Chanticleers on the season at 11.6 points per game, adding 3.5 rebounds. Olivia Irick also posts double figures at 10.7 points per game, while Shanika Maddox tallies 7.6 points and a team-high 7.7 rebounds. Nine Chants average double figure minutes, with eight of those posting at least 17.6 minutes per game.
Campbell and CCU have met once already this season, with the Lady Camels taking a 58-55 win in Buies Creek. The Lady Camels faced a 34-24 halftime deficit before opening the second on a 20-7 run, taking a three point lead on a Jessica Moore three with 9:25 to play. The Lady Camels would eventually win by that same margin.
Campbell leads the all-time series with Coastal 19-17, with the Lady Camels holding a 17-3 mark against the Chanticleers as conference foes. That record includes a 3-0 record in Big South Tournament games.
After Saturday's contest, the Lady Camels will head to Charleston, S.C. for a Monday tilt against Charleston Southern. Campbell will return to Buies Creek for its final pair of home game Feb. 25th (Winthrop, 1 p.m.) and 27th (Presbyterian, 7 p.m.).

Basketball's Naismith Hall of Fame is a tremendous place, filled with the sport's greatest players — in college, international play, and in the NBA — but it's hardly complete. Some players, like Allen Iverson and Shaq, are first ballot votes who aren't in yet because of eligibility rules; the Hall requires a player to be "fully retired" for five years. We're not here to talk about those players, but instead to highlight eight players who are more tenuously attached to the Hall of Fame. The ones that are being set on the fence, or have been set on the fence for far too long.

A state Supreme Court justice in Manhattan officially released Dominique Strauss-Kahn from house arrest Friday after hearing that prosecutors have serious issues with the hotel housekeeper whose credibility has been, until now, the cornerstone of their case.
Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund, was released on his own recognizance after a month of strict house arrest, which in his case required not only 24-hour confinement and an ankle monitor but the posting of a security team at a cost of about $250,000 a month at the building where he lives. But as of now, the criminal case against him still stands. —BF
The New York Times:
Prosecutors acknowledged that there were significant credibility issues with the hotel housekeeper who accused Mr. Strauss-Kahn of trying to rape her in May. In a brief hearing at State Supreme Court in Manhattan, prosecutors did not oppose his release; the judge then freed Mr. Strauss-Kahn on his own recognizance.
The development represented a stunning reversal in a case that reshaped the French political landscape and sparked debate about morals, the treatment of women and the American justice system. The case could also alter the political fortunes of Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the Manhattan district attorney, who is just a year and a half into his tenure and was facing his most highly publicized case to date.

|ZETEC Performance (2000-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Well also I'm saying this because it made a noticeable diffance in my ZX3 01 I just put in just a Spectra filter the really long cone one and I'm able to keep up with my friend in his grand prix I believe it's a newer 2000 2004 or 05 around there but since my car has more power then torque I have the advantage at a rolling start and once I took off I passed him... But he caught up lol but never the less its a big improvement I also have a high flow megaflow catalytic converter any ways my point is that play around with intake system and air filters too try something don't like it clean itit up and return it and try something else lol
|Weird.....i too had a ford ranger and my wires fried and i bought my 03 zx3 off my sister....and btw my name is Seth too.....
if you go with a SVT header you should upgrade the exhaust. use your own judgement on what brand to go with or even look into getting a local muffler shop to fabricate a custom flexpipe back exhaust for you. typically it costs over $300 for a bolt on exhaust. i had a local shop do mine for $100 not including the cost of mufflers. i personally like the dynomax 3 chamber mufflers that autozone or advanced sells.
the K&N filter just flows air better than a typical paper filter. you wont get a huge power gain from it but its something. there just isnt really much power to be gained at all from intake upgrades with the focus.
|okay thank you very much I am extremely new to the aftermarket car stuff so i had to do some research on all of the things you said but after looking at it i do like what you said. So if i get the SVT header should i worry about upgrading the actual exhaust to say a magnaflow? or not worry since the svt will change the sound anyways? Also what exactly does the K&N filter do as far as power goes? I appreciate the feedback :)
well i cant help you on the sound system and appearance aspect since my can looks like frankenstein's monster and doesnt really have any sound except for exhaust lol. but power i can help you with.
the only way you are going to get a power upgrade with this car is to go with some kind of forced induction. supercharger, nitrous, or turbo. otherwise if you want to try to build the car for more power and stay naturally aspired you will be spending twice the money for a quarter to half the power.
as far as bolt ons go the best route is the SVT header conversion which requires a SVT header, SVT cat or off-road pipe, SVT flex pipe, SVT dipstick tube, and either alot of header wrap or a relocated power steering line. sounds like a lot but it isnt that bad to change all that out.
dont bother with the exhaust unless you go up to at least 2.5 inch diameter piping from the flex pipe back. if you get the SVT header you want the exhaust to flow as freely as possible. the car would make the most power running open header with the SVT header if you could get away with it for emissions and noise. so the less restrictive you can make the exhaust the better off you are.
put a K&N panel filter in the stock air box or locate a SVT airbox and snorkel and get a K&N for it. the SVT is only slightly better than stock but is still better than 90% of the aftermarket intakes that get heatsoak so bad that the factory intake outperforms them.
nitrous is the absolute biggest bang for your buck power adder that you can get for the focus. i happen to be selling a kit in the buy/sell/trade section of this site if you're interested. a little copy and paste snippit from it:
you get more power per dollar spent with a nitrous kit like this than with any other mod you can think of.
buy this kit and run a 100 shot (which the stock motor can handle fine with a good tune) which will make roughly 100hp more. that is $6 per hp.
a SVT header conversion costs about $500 and makes about a 20hp gain which is about $25 per hp.
your average new complete turbo kit costs around $3000 and can push hp up by as much as 140 on a stock engine. that costs about $22 per hp.
dont get me started on those underdrive pulleys that cost $100 and maybe make a 1/2 hp gain.
need i go on?
there are turbocharger and supercharger kits for sale as well on this site for under $2000. if you do any of that you will absolutely NEED a tune. Tom is our resident go to guy for tuning on the focus. his screen name on here is 1turbofocus and he is damn good at what he does.
|Okay I will head to that section for the audio sorry about that :p as far as my budget goes to start out with i would say around 2 to 4k. Basically I am looking to turn my little stock focus into a nice looking/quick focus. I will post pictures soon but to give you an idea everything on the car is starting to show age and I want to simply upgrade the cosmetics as well as the engine. I would like to start with exhaust and then work into getting more horsepower, then window tint as well as light foggers.
As far as performance upgrades go you are in the right section. But the sound system upgrade is a different section, so be sure you post anything you need in the Car Audio, SYNC and Electronics section.
Exhaust is a good route to start on. But what we really need to start with is your budget and what results you are looking for. Let us know what you have to spend and what you would like and most of us can help point you in the right direction.
Also, the blue text is a clicky for the audio section.
Suggestions and help to customize my focus pls
Hello my name is Seth and my grandparents recently decided to give me one of their cars since my old Ranger finally broke down on me, I have a 2000 ZX3 Kona Edition, it definitely needs some upgrades and I am just not sure where to start. Help with exhaust, sound systems, under the hood upgrades to increase speed and MPG is greatly appreciated. I really want to keep this car up and running and look good while doing it. Thank you for all replys :)

Amani Baby Cottage was established in 2003 to provide care for orphaned and abandoned children. ABC is located in Jinja, Uganda near the shores of Lake Victoria.
We can house up to 60 children ages birth to 5 years. Children are referred to us through the local authorities and the social welfare system. Many are orphaned when their parents die due to AIDS, birth complications or other factors. Some are abandoned in the hospital after birth. Others are found abandoned at taxi stops, in latrines, or on the street.
Our goal is that each one of them will find a place with a loving Christian family. To date, a total of 328 children have been cared for in our home. 107 of these have been reunited with their parents or extended family members, 135 have been fostered into new families, and 26 have been transferred to other ministry placements. We do not refuse children in fragile health, thus 23 children have died while in our care. (stats of Dec 2014).
Amani Baby Cottage employs about forty-five Ugandan workers to care for our children, and also enjoys the assistance of a number of volunteers from around the world.
We operate under the covering of Total Family Outreach, a non-profit US corporation. Amani Baby Cottage operates by faith in a loving, heavenly Father who has promised to take up the cause of the orphan.

SHELLEY - In today's Main Street Buzz, a Shelley restaurant is welcoming new and old customers back through its doors. Lorena Camora opened Madrigals back in 2004, where she attracted many customers with the rich, unique flavors of her Mexican cuisine.

"I was a little afraid being closed for three years and I was a little afraid to come back but I'm real excited about it." said Camora.
And old customers were excited to be back, especially Jason Nulph.
"I use to come here in high school and eat lunch here and seeing them reopen -- I thought it would be good to come back." said Nulph.
And around the corner from the restaurant is Madrigals's Convenience Store and the new addition, Madrigals's Tortilla Shop, where customers can buy freshly made tortillas.

Vehicle Forfeiture And DWI In Minnesota
When Is A Vehicle Subject to Forfeiture in Minnesota?
In many DWI cases the police or sheriffs department has the authority to seize and forfeit (keep and then sell) your motor vehicle. Vehicle forfeiture is covered by Minnesota Statute 169A.63. It is important to know that the offenses include both DWI offenses and alcohol-related drivers license revocations arising from separate incidents. The motor vehicle used in a DWI
offense may be seized and forfeited by the Police under the following circumstances:
1) The current offense is the 3rd offense within 10 years and the driver is now charged with DWI or test refusal. (Second Degree DWI).
2) The current offense is the 2nd offense within 10 years and the driver is now charged with DWI with a child under the age of 16 present, or driving with an alcohol level of 0.16% or more. (Second Degree DWI).
3) The current offense is the fourth offense within 10 years and the driver is now charged with felony DWI. (First Degree DWI).
4) The driver is charged with a DWI or test refusal while the drivers license is under cancellation for being inimical to public safety.
5) The driver is charged with a DWI or test refusal while the driver's license is subject to a restriction prohibiting consumption of any amount of alcohol or controlled substance (B-Card restriction).
The police can seize the vehicle immediately and keep possession of it while the criminal and forfeiture cases are pending. The arresting agency must issue a Notice of Seizure and Intent to Forfeit the vehicle to the driver of the vehicle and to anyone else who may have an ownership or possessor's interest in the vehicle and it MUST be done within 60 days of the forfeiture.
There are some defenses, such as a motor vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this law only if its owner knew or should have known of the unlawful use of the vehicle. If the driver is the owner, or one of joint owners then this not a defense, but if the vehicle is owned by someone who was not present when the DWI occurred and who had no knowledge that the driver would use it to violate this law, then the owner has a legal defense against the forfeiture action.
Within 60 Days After Seizure The Vehicles Owner Must File A Demand For A Judicial Determination Of The Forfeiture.
This demand for a hearing to determine the legality of the forfeiture must be made within 60 days to be effective or else the owner of the vehicle will lose the vehicle no matter what the outcome of the criminal case.

GET SMART TIME1945 -1980 we taxed high incomes and estates to pay down WWII debt.In those years we had fabulous economic growth.The Middle Class had much economic growth.Now, it is payoff time.We need to pay down the Republican Tax Cut Debt.Our income is $14,000 Billion.The 2013 budget calls for $2900B in revenue and a $900B deficit.It is a disgrace that we will not pay our way instead of leaving it for our kids to pay.We rank 4th on Inequality in OECD nations. Richest on earth. Yet! We rank third as Least taxed in OECD nations. Only Chile and Mexico tax less of GDP than America. Yes! We rank number two on taxing our corporations even though our top rate is highest. Obviously, something is crazy in America.Since 1980, our tax rates have been cut cut cut to favor the wealthy.In 2008, the top 50% got 86% of all individual income and paid 12..5% tax rate.That ratio has been similar for years.70,00,000 workers took home 14%.
We Must return to taxing Wealth and high incomes. Would a higher estate tax hurt the ONE family which owns more wealth than 90% of our families. Romney wants to zero it not raise it to help balance our budget and pay down some of the debt that helped him get very rich.
We CAN balance our budget. We CAN pay down our debt. The rich will fight any change.The Middle Class needs help to regain a good Standard Of Living. Help them. Clarence Swinney
What scares me is that this post here is saying it's okay to make sure you "speek to the audience". You know…say what they want to hear. It's most certainly how most politicians become successful and stay that way. But, it's wrong. When a politician goes to a rally that has predominantly pro-gun people there, they speak "pro-gun" stuff. Doesn't matter that this same politician wants major gun control legislation and will end up voting that way. It matters that he says what the audience wants to hear at the time.
What also scares me about this post is Gary's reference to a "radical ideology". Know what that is to Gary and many left wingers? It's pro-life. It's anti-gay marriage. It's pro-gun. It's anti-amnesty. It's believing spending is out of control and increased taxes aren't the answer to our country's/state's fiscal problems. People that believe this way are "radicals" to the likes of Gary and those that he follows and/or follows him.
McCrory will never, ever be able to turn a phrase like Obama does. He'll also never have that dynamic personality Hunt had. I met him twice, both times in a group when I lived in Mebane and he had just such a great personality even away from the microphone. Obama is one smooth talker and I do agree with Gary here….in most cases, that means a whole lot more than what you actually say. It's like I've been told by my bride so many times…"it's not what you said, it's how you said it". Soooo true.
Medicaid is expensive. Real expensive. A high volume of those taking advantage of this are the young…many just infants and they continue to keep this "benefit" for years on end because their moms got pregnant, had the kids and not being married and lower-educated making it difficult for them to get work, this qualifies both the parent and the children for medicaid. Medical care is extremely expensive. It takes a HUGE portion of the state's budget. So, our young people have kids and know that if they get married, they don't get the bennies. They live together anyway unbeknownst to the "system" and it's just all good…except for the taxpayer who has to pay for not only their own medical care but for these people's medical care as well. Oh, sure, there are those that truly need it and don't do what I've presented here and I'm totally in favor of helping them…but, that doesn't mean it's not happening and not a HUGE problem in our state. If we do "expand" medicaid as asked to do by the Fed, then it will just continue and even get progressively worse. It's wrong minded.

Eye-Tracking Vehicles Prevent Falling Asleep At The Wheel
Researchers in Germany are developing a system that could help prevent accidents due to drowsy driving.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology in Germany are creating a vehicle-based system called Eyetracker that monitors a drivers face for signs of drowsiness. When certain patterns in eye and facial movements that indicate a lack of awareness are detected, the system triggers warnings to keep the driver alert. Debuting at the VISON trade fair in Stuttgart next month, the system is driven by two separate, small cameras mounted in the car, linked to a small matchbook-sized processor.
Professor Husar of the IDMT explains below:
"What we have developed is a small modular system with its own hardware and programs on board, so that the line of vision is computed directly within the camera itself. Since the Eyetracker is fitted with at least two cameras that record images stereoscopically – meaning in three dimensions – the system can easily identify the spatial position of the pupil and the line of vision."

One major flash-point in the January 21 Democratic debate was when Hillary Clinton slammed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for ties to Tony Rezko, an indicted real estate developer. Shortly thereafter a photo from the Clinton administration depicting Sen. Clinton with Rezko and her husband came to the fore, and Clinton subsequently denied knowing Rezko.
Fast forward to today and the Associated Press reporting that Hillary Clinton booster L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa took campaign contributions from Rezko. The question remains how much the media, outside the Associated Press, will care:
LOS ANGELES -- Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a national co-chairman of Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, banked at least $1,500 in political donations from Tony Rezko, whose past connections to Barack Obama have been used by Clinton to criticize her rival's judgment and ethics.
City records show Rezko, chairman of Rezmar Corp. of Chicago, contributed $1,000 to Villaraigosa's mayoral campaign in 2001. Those records show Rezko also donated $500 to another Villaraigosa political committee in 2003.
''The contributions are currently under review,'' Villaraigosa spokesman Sean Clegg said. Clegg said Villaraigosa doesn't know Rezko and was unaware whether Rezko or his firms were doing business with the city.
''The contributions from 2001 and 2003 were long before any issues related to Tony Rezko became public,'' Clegg said.
The donations could prove to be a political embarrassment for Clinton. Rezko has been a patron of Illinois politicians for years, and Obama's connections to Rezko go back more than 15 years. Rezko has contributed thousands of dollars to the campaigns of Obama and Gov. Blagojevich. Neither has been accused of wrongdoing.

Data loss in recent migration
Paul Walsh - 12/01/2016 in Community Updates, News
We recently undertook a large-scale migration of DataHub. This migration included upgrading CKAN to the latest stable release, running DataHub on a completely new cloud infrastructure, and moving to redundant S3 buckets for storing dataset resources.
The migration occurred in November 2015, after lots of hard work by our infrastructure and development teams, and we've since seen a more performant and stable DataHub, which will serve as a basis for new developments in 2016.
What happened
On the 11th of January 2016, we were alerted in this post on the Open Knowledge Discuss Forum to the potential loss of data. On immediate investigation, it was found that 38 datasets, with a total of 78 resources have been irretrievably lost.
Details of lost data can be found here.
These resources were, unlike the rest of the data on DataHub, stored on the local file system of the server, and not on a cloud-based storage backend. There is no way we are able to retrieve these resources.
We deeply regret any inconvenience caused by this data loss. While DataHub is a free service without any specific guarantees for data persistence, we have let ourselves and the community of users down by this loss of data.
We have taken steps to prevent this happening in the future. In fact, the move to the new infrastructure is the solution, as resources are now stored on fully redundant S3 storage.
Additionally, DataHub is more generally robust and secure, with a robust backup system in place for the database, and stateless application servers running in Docker in a new cluster. We appreciate the trust the community puts in us to host their data, and we'll be doing more in 2016 to make DataHub a stable, reliable and free solution for storing and accessing open data.
We are happy to assist owners of these datasets in republishing the data if they desire. Please be in touch.

The reason I am selling is because it will not pass inspection in NY as it is and I do not have the money or time to do deal with it. It has a cracked windshield, Small oil leak, and damage to the front passenger side, this would be a great parts car for those of you looking for one! it runs very smooth i would keep driving it if i wasnt worried about getting a ticket for inspection. if there is anyone in NY that would wanna come pick it up I'll let it go for $1500. I wishI had the time to part it out and make more money off it but I dont so its gotta go rather quick.

GERD occurs when gastric acid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus (known as acid reflux), usually because of a weakness in the esophageal sphincter that keeps it from closing the esophagus off from the stomach. The acid can cause heartburn, chest pain, and even respiratory symptoms. Adverse effects of reflux range from inflammation (esophagitis) to more serious conditions including bleeding, ulcers, and even esophageal cancer. GERD is often treated very successfully with medication, but some people with persistent symptoms choose surgery to alleviate their discomfort. In particular, patients with large hiatal hernias are frequently referred for surgical treatment.
Symptoms include heartburn, which is a sense of burning in the chest behind the breastbone or in the abdomen especially when bending or lying down. GERD also may cause regurgitation of food, trouble swallowing, hoarseness, coughing, wheezing, sore throat, and asthma.
Risk factors for GERD include obesity, hiatal hernia, smoking, pregnancy, and diabetes. Eating large meals, lying down right after eating, spicy foods, alcohol, chocolate, caffeine, tomato sauce, onions, and carbonated beverages may worsen GERD.
GERD is initially diagnosed by symptoms and a patient's response to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors, which reduce the stomach's production of acid.
Complicated cases of GERD may require endoscopy, in which a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and camera is inserted through the mouth and into the throat to view the esophagus and stomach and determine if there is inflammation or an ulcer. A tissue sample can be taken to test for Barrett's esophagus, a precancerous condition in which cells in the esophagus become abnormal.
Physicians will usually begin to treat GERD by prescribing long-acting, prescription-strength proton pump inhibitors to suppress the production of stomach acid. Other medications used include H2-receptor blockers, which also reduce acid production, and prokinetic drugs, which help the stomach empty faster and may tighten the lower esophageal sphincter – the muscular valve between the esophagus and stomach.
People who do not respond to medication may require a surgical procedure. The standard surgical treatment for GERD is a procedure known as Nissen Fundoplication. However, surgeons at NewYork-Presbyterian are also testing two alternate procedures: Endoscopic Fundoplication and a second procedure where surgeons install a "bracelet" of magnetic beads near the gastroesophageal junction.
Nissen Fundoplication is a surgical procedure used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is also used to treat hiatal hernia, which occurs in more than half of GERD cases. Hiatal hernia is when part of the stomach bulges into the chest cavity through an opening in the diaphragm.
In a Nissen Fundoplication, named for the Swiss doctor Rudolph Nissen, who perfected the procedure, the upper part of the stomach is "wrapped" 360 degrees around the lower portion of the esophagus, and sutured to create a new valve between the two areas. This allows the lower esophageal sphincter to close, eliminating the acid backflow from the stomach.
Though the surgery itself is considered very safe, rarely side effects can occur, including temporary difficulty in swallowing, difficulty vomiting, or accumulation of gas in the stomach (bloating). A patient's diet may need modification before the surgery, but the objective is for the diet to return to normal following the operation. Most people can discontinue their reflux medications after the procedure.
Over time, variations of Nissen Fundoplication have been introduced, including a variety of partial wraps. In the 1990s, less invasive laparoscopic fundoplication surgery became the gold standard for surgical treatment of GERD and is practiced by most experienced surgeons.
Endoscopic Fundoplication offers an even less invasive alternative to Nissen Fundoplication that can be completed in an hour or less without any incisions. Tools are inserted through a tube placed in the esophagus and used to perform a partial wrap of the stomach around the esophagus, aided by a small camera. The procedure has been evolving for several years, and though it is too soon to know its long term effectiveness, early results indicate that it completely relieves symptoms in approximately half of patients and allows most of them to discontinue taking daily medications.
Endoscopic Fundoplication cannot address large hiatal hernias, which need to be corrected with a different procedure, but have proven effective at treating GERD in patients with small ones.
Another new procedure currently being examined involves using magnetic beads to place pressure on the gastroesophageal junction. The beads resemble an expandable bracelet that is placed on the lower esophageal sphincter using a laparoscopic incision. When a person eats or drinks, the esophageal pressure pushes apart the magnets, allowing swallowing. Then the bracelet resumes its shape, once again tightening the seal between the esophagus and the stomach.
Both Endoscopic Fundoplication and the magnetic bead treatment are considered safe, although long term results are not yet known. Some side effects associated with open or laparoscopic surgery, including temporary difficulty swallowing or gas bloat syndrome, are less common when these newer techniques are used.

(Streptopelia decaocto)
Banded October 12, 2000 - Lebanon, Indiana
Nest April 2002 - Lebanon, Indiana
The Eurasian Collared Dove, originally from Asia, is a new species in
the USA. It was introduced to the Bahama Islands in 1975, spread to
Florida, and is expanding its range across the USA. Populations are
established in many eastern and midwestern states well into the Great
Plains region. Nesting records and sightings are now being reported in
Indiana. The birds shown here are part of a small breeding colony
established in Lebanon, Indiana, about 20 miles NW of Indianapolis.
The scientific name, Streptopeleia decaocto, literally means a collar (streptos)
dove (peleia). In Greek mythology, Decaocto was an overworked, underpaid
servant girl. The gods heard her prayers for help and changed her into a
dove so she could escape her misery. The dove's call still echoes the
mournful cries of her former life.
This species originates in Asia. They occur in the middle east, and are
a summer visitor in Iran (Hollom et al. 1988). Throughout the 1900's, and
especially since 1930, these doves have expanded their range northwest
into Europe and even occur above the Arctic Circle in Norway (Jonsson
1992, Ehrlich et al 1994).
These doves are usually resident, frequent villages and towns, and
readily come to feeders for seed.
Keep an eye out for these birds as they can be expected to turn up more
frequently around the midwest and beyond.
This dove is larger bodied than
the native Mourning Dove, and has a distinctly different call, sounding like
koo-kooo, koo with the accent on the second beat. The male often makes a
display koo sounding like "mair". Their mating display flight is similar to
that of the Mourning Dove.
Figure 1- Eurasian Collared Dove
Figure 2 - Eurasian Collared Dove
This dove is pale buff above
with a prominent black neck band. It is most often confused with the Ringed
Turtle Dove where these two species occur together.
The squared off tail has a
prominent black base. The outer half of the tail is pure white, but the
central tail feathers are grayish.
Figure 3 - Under tail pattern
Figure 4 - Upper Wing
The tri-colored wing pattern of
this dove can be seen when in display or when landing. The primaries are
blackish, the body grayish and the central wing whitish.
The upper tail is grayish, but
the broad white outer band of the tail can be seen.
Figure 5 - Upper Tail
Figure 6 - Under tail Pattern - Landing
This is another view of the
black and white tail pattern seen as this bird lands on a backyard feeder.
The Eurasian Collared Dove nest
is located under the eve in the upper right corner of this house. These
birds are reported to use ledges on houses, but only rarely. They usually
build a flimsy platform nest of twigs in an evergreen or deciduous tree.

Figure 8 - Dove on nest
This close up image shows the
dove sitting on the nest on the ledge of the building. The neck collar of
the dove is visible.
This close up of the nest
itself shows its location in the void space under the roof behind the rain
Figure 9 - Nest of Eurasian Collared Dove
Figure 10 - Egg of Eurasian Collared Dove
Using a mirror, it is possible
to look into the nest to see the nest contents without disturbing or
touching the nest. This egg was imaged on 13 April, 2002.
Eurasian Collared Doves breed nearly year round in their native range.
They build a flimsy twig nest in trees, on building ledges, and in thick
bushes. Two sub-elliptical, smooth white eggs (30 x 23 mm) hatch in about 14
- 16 days. Young fledge in about 15 - 18 days and leave the nest area at
about 21 days (Baicich and Harrison 1997). From 3 to 6 broods may be fledged
in a breeding season.
Males and females in this colony in Lebanon, Indiana have been observed
mating as late as October.
According to the Bird Banding Lab web site, 1 Eurasian Collared Dove was
banded prior to 2000 in North America. The bird pictured above, banded in
October 2000, was still present in 2002. Banding studies show that these
doves are for the most part resident birds.
These doves experienced one of the most remarkable range changes in the
1900's. Prior to the 1930's, their range was restricted to southeastern
Europe when suddenly, and for no apparent reason, they began to expand
their range westward. They first bred in the UK in 1955, and now occur in
such extremes as Iceland, Spain, and above the Arctic Circle in Norway
(Ehrlich, et al. 1994).
In Georgia, where they are well established, these doves do not seem to
have a detrimental impact on native species, and appear to occupy a niche
in the well developed suburbs somewhere between the Rock Doves (Pigeons)
in the city and the Mourning Doves in open country (Ray Chandler, Georgia
Southern University, pers comm). They feed on agricultural grains, leaves,
fruits and seeds.
As these birds expand their range in North America, it will be
interesting to observe the impact of this introduced species on
populations of native birds, and to learn what ecological/geographical
barriers finally limit their range expansion.
North America has several open niches created when native species like
the Passenger Pigeon, the Carolina Parakeet and other species went
extinct. Perhaps this dove will utilize part of the niche left vacant with
the passing of the Passenger Pigeon and other bird species.

Overview and plan
If you don't have room in your yard for a large, freestanding shed, you can still create plenty of space for garden tools with a shed attached to the back or side of the house. If you're an experienced builder, you can build this shed in a couple of weekends. Ours cost about $400, but you could save about $75 by using treated lumber, pine, and asphalt shingles instead of cedar.
Step 1: Frame the walls
Nail together the side walls, then square them with the plywood side panels. Overhang the panels 3/8 in. at the front—this will hide the gap at the corner when you hang the doors.
Join the two sides with the top and bottom plates and rim joists. The sides, top and bottom are all mirror images of each other except for the top front rim joist, which is set down 1/2 in. from the top so it stops the doors (Photo 1). Use screws to fasten the framework together except in the front where fasteners will be visible—use 2-1/2-in. casing nails there.
Screw the 4x4 footings to the bottom plates, then nail on the plywood base.
Step 2: Build the roof
Cut and screw together the two pairs of rafters, then nail on the fascia and ridge boards. Nail on the roof sheathing and the soffit, butting the corners together (Photo 2). Screw on the collar ties at the points shown in Figure A, then screw on the front and rear nailers. Nail the roof trim on, staple on a layer of roofing felt, then shingle the roof. If you use cedar shingles, fasten them with narrow crown staples or siding nails. Leave 1/8-in. to 1/4-in. gaps between cedar shingles for expansion, and nail a strip of aluminum flashing across the ridge under the cap shingles.
Step 3: Install the roof
Tip the shed upright, then set the roof on, aligning the front collar tie with the front rim joist and centering it side to side (Photo 3). Nail the cedar trim to the sides, aligning the 1x3s on the sides with the overhanging edge of plywood along the front edge. Glue and screw on the back and front siding panels to join the roof and base together. Use the back panel to square the structure and make it rigid.
Step 4: Trim the front and hang the doors
Nail on the front trim piece, aligning it with the horizontal side battens. Attach flashing and felt to the front panel, then cover it with cedar shakes (Photo 4).
Finally, construct the doors (see Figure A detail), cut the hinge mortises (see below) and hang the doors. Leave a 1/8-in. gap between the doors and trim along the top. Paint or stain if desired, then set the shed against the house on several inches of gravel. Add or take away gravel under the footings until the shed is tight against the siding and the gap above the doors is even. Screw the shed to the studs in the wall to keep it from tipping. Drill two 1/2-in. holes for the screws through the plywood near the rim joists, then loosely fasten the shed to the wall with 2-1/2-in. screws and large fender washers so the shed can move up and down when the ground freezes and thaws.
How to Mortise a Hinge
Mark the hinge locations on the door jamb, then on the door, less 1/8 in. for clearance at the top of the door. Separate the hinge leaves, then align the edge of the leaf with the edge of the door or jamb. Predrill and fasten the leaf, then cut along all three edges with a razor knife to about the same depth as the hinge leaf (Photo 1).
Remove the hinge and make a series of angled cuts to establish the depth of the mortise Photo 2). Turn the chisel over and clean out the chips using light hammer taps.
Holding the chisel with the beveled front edge against the wood, chip out the 1/4-in. sections. Check the fit of the hinge leaf and chisel out additional wood until the leaf sits flush.
If the hinges don't fit back together perfectly when you hang the door, tap the leaves up or down (gently) with a hammer.

Smiles and excitement filled Immaculate Heart Radio's headquarters as Our Lord entered His new home in the office's chapel. On May 6th, Bishop Jaime Soto of the Diocese of Sacramento celebrated Mass, blessed the tabernacle and interred the Blessed Sacrament, with about 40 staff and guests joining in the celebration.
Immaculate Heart Radio's founder and president, Doug Sherman, said, "We know that our time spent in prayer is the most important work any of us can do to glorify God and support each other as we serve Him through this beautiful instrument of Immaculate Heart Radio. We now have this available to us in our own chapel with the Blessed Sacrament present in our tabernacle. "
The beautiful facing of the tabernacle was a gift from the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, whose Development office is directly above Immaculate Heart Radio. The tabernacle was gifted to the Dominican Sisters, but was so damaged when they received it that it was not able to be used. Knowing that Immaculate Heart Radio had a chapel and was looking for a tabernacle, they offered it to Doug Sherman. Several local craftsmen worked to repair and restore the tabernacle into a beautiful home for Our Lord.
We discovered the process of restoring the tabernacle was very similar to the mission of Immaculate Heart Radio. There are so many people, living tabernacles, who have been worn down and abused by the world and are in need of restoration. The mission of Immaculate Heart Radio is to take these battered tabernacles and bring them to the Master Restorer, who will make them new creations so that He can dwell in them once again.
As prayer is essential to the success of Immaculate Heart Radio, all staff members spend one hour each week before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer for themselves, their families and the mission of Immaculate Heart Radio. We also love to pray for the special intentions of our listeners, so if you have any special intentions you can e-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will make sure to bring them before Our Lord.

Lily Collins Talks Movie-Making with ASOS
As she continues to make her mark on Hollywood, Lily Collins recently opened to the October 2011 issue of ASOS magazine about her latest happenings.
The ASOS cover gig comes as the 22-year-old beauty stars alongside "Twilight" hunk Taylor Lautner in the upcoming film "Abduction," which hits theaters on September 23.
Of filming the action/drama flick, Collins told the mag, "I never thought in a million years I'd be doing stunts, flying off trains, setting people on fire, running through swamps at night, but it's fun and I love taking chances."
Meanwhile, Lily is currently filming a new take on the classic tale "Snow White" - of which she mentioned, "It is so surreal. Everyone calls me 'Snow' on-set and I'm working with Julia Roberts."

I made my first dumplings today, aren't they cute?
OK, they're a little mis-shapen. Shut up. And yes, I know the word is 'misshapen', but that just looks weird. Like my dumplings.
I'm not sure if they're jiaozi, gyoza, or fried har gow, but whatever you call them, they were delicious.
I based my recipe on Jaden's, minus the pork, bamboo and salt. Measurement-wise, I just glugged and chopped until it looked good. I also used wonton skins, because that's all that was available in my market. Because of that, I had to moisten the wrapper to get it to stick together, which made it impossible to only pleat one side like Jaden was miraculously able to do.
So, yeah, they look funny. But they didn't leak, and they were great cooked up per Jaden's recipe (fried, steamed, fried again), and dipped in a mix of soy sauce, black vinegar, rice wine and sesame oil.
The best part is that I now have a bag of dumplings in my freezer for a little snack whenever I want. No, I take that back. The best part is that Hubby doesn't like them, so they're all for me.

Hey Astra -
I'd love to, but they'd probably be a nasty gloppy mess by the time they got there :-)

Nice! I love dumplings.
They're jiaozi if you boiled them, and fried jiaozi if you fried them after you boiled them, or gyoza if you consider them Japanese rather than Chinese. Har gow I don't know about! Doesn't really matter, as long as they're good.

Hey Kitt -
They were pan-fried for 1 minute, water added, covered, steam-boiled for 3 minutes, then fried uncovered for another minute...so...I call 'em potstickers. And yes, they were good :-)

QUOTE (Willy Wombat @ Oct 9 2007, 08:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi Pauline and welcome to the blog. I have just downloaded the manual for your camera to see if there is anything strange as regarding using the camera in manual mode, it look fairly straight forward so long as you know the relationship between shutter speeds and aperture settings. As far as I can see you set your mode dial to manual, then you turn the command dial to set your shutter speed, and to set the aperture you hold down the exposure compensation button and turn the command dial to set the aperture. You should see the exposure indicator at the bottom, which has a plus on the right and a minus on the left; the trick is to get the indicator mark in the middle. If you set the camera in manual mode, look through the viewfinder and move the camera around you will see the marker move depending on the light, if the marker is to one side, then you need to alter either your aperture or shutter speed to bring the marker back into the middle to give you an exposure. It may sound complicated but all you are doing is what the camera will do itself in auto mode. Of course this all fall down when you are shooting a snow scene or shooting at night because of the way camera meters work. Hope this helps, page 44 of your manual will explain.
Thank you so much John

[[caption-width-right:220:A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.]]
Madeleine L'Engle (1918 2007) was an American writer of YoungAdultLiterature best-known for ''Literature/AWrinkleInTime'' and its sequels.
Most of her novels belong to one of two sequences, referred to as "Kairos" and "Chronos", from the two ancient Greek words for time. "Chronos" refers to chronological or sequential time, while "Kairos" signifies a time in between, a moment of indeterminate time in which something special happens. (Although both sequences contain speculative elements, the Chronos sequence is primarily realistic, while the Kairos sequence, which includes ''A Wrinkle in Time'', is clearly sf/fantasy.)
* Time Quartet (concerning the Murry family)
## ''Literature/AWrinkleInTime'' (1962)
## ''Literature/AWindInTheDoor'' (1973)
## ''Literature/ASwiftlyTiltingPlanet'' (1978)
## ''Literature/ManyWaters'' (1986)
* O'Keefe novels (concerning the children of Meg Murry)
## ''The Arm of the Starfish'' (1965)
## ''Dragons in the Waters'' (1976)
## ''A House Like a Lotus'' (1984)
## ''Literature/AnAcceptableTime'' (1989)
* Austin family novels
## ''Meet the Austins'' (1960)
## ''The Moon by Night'' (1963)
## ''The Young Unicorns'' (1968)
## ''A Ring of Endless Light'' (1980)
## ''The Anti-Muffins'' (1980)
## ''The Twenty-four Days Before Christmas'' (1984)
## ''Troubling a Star'' (1994)
## ''A Full House: An Austin Family Christmas'' (1999)
!!Additional tropes:
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: And no boy is a clearer example than Zachary Grey.
* BuyThemOff
* CharacterOverlap: The Kairos and Chronos sequences are connected by several supporting characters who appear in both, as well as in some of L'Engle's other works.
* DeadpanSnarker: She was once asked in an interview if the 2004 version of ''Wrinkle'' lived up to her expectations.
--> ''Yes. I expected it to be bad, and it was.''
* DreamingTheTruth
* DudeMagnet: In her young adult novels, both Vicky and Polly qualify.
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: In ''The Love Letters''
* TakingTheVeil: In ''A Severed Wasp'', a minor character has this as her backstory -- after her divorce.

The surgery is part of the process of feminization in my transgender condition. After developing seromas twice, now I consider that my body rejects any kind of implant.
Capsular Contracture, Infection, Rupture and Persistent Seroma
The surgery is part of the process of feminization...
After developing seromas twice, I guess the...
After developing seromas twice, I guess the procedure followed in the surgery should have been corrected after the first experience; one of the implants on the second surgery had a rupture before it was intoduced, and had to be replaced for another. Was it defective? Surgeon inadequate handling?. Anyway, I am reluctant to consider that my body rejects any kind of implant.
I had my old saline implants removed a year ago(capsular contraction, infection and rupture), and replaced with new ones. I developed a seroma 14 days later. After 7 days it still drains about 30-40 mililiters of liquid from my breast. I have no infection, and the doctor says the seroma will be eventually absorbed. How long it will take? Should I follow additional treatment?
It appear he is a proficient surgeon, but not fully competent to deal with side effects.

Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA—October 2013—The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has published a new document, EP26-A—User Evaluation of Between-Reagent Lot Variation; Approved Guideline. In a laboratory setting, changes in measurement procedure performance may occur with a change in reagent lot. Therefore, it is a good laboratory practice to verify the consistency of patient sample results when introducing a new lot of reagents. This document provides guidance for laboratories on evaluation of a new reagent lot, including a protocol using patient samples to detect significant changes from the current lot.
EP26-A provides users with a protocol to evaluate the consistency of patient sample results when a new analytical reagent lot replaces a reagent lot currently in use. It also helps users detect significant changes in measurement procedure performance for patient samples due to reagent lot changes, and confirms that patient sample results are consistent between two reagent lots.
"Verifying the performance of a new reagent lot is a common task in the laboratory. Since the need to verify a new lot can occur at any time, on any day, and often needs to be accomplished on short notice, the protocol used must be simple and quick," notes Nils Person, PhD, FACB, document Chairholder of the EP26-A Document Development Committee and Senior Clinical Consultant at Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. in Flanders, New Jersey, USA. "To date, there has not been standardized guidance on how best to approach this task. EP26-A provides the needed guidance to verify the performance of a new reagent lot within the practical constraints of the clinical laboratory."
This guideline is intended for the clinical laboratory environment. It does not provide detailed procedures for reagent manufacturers; however, reagent manufacturers can use this document to understand the types of verification studies that may be performed in their customers' laboratories.
CLSI is a not-for-profit membership organization that brings together the varied perspectives and expertise of the worldwide laboratory community for the advancement of a common cause: to foster excellence in laboratory medicine by developing and implementing clinical laboratory standards and guidelines that help laboratories fulfill their responsibilities with efficiency, effectiveness, and global applicability. For additional information, visit the CLSI website at www.clsi.org or call 610.688.0100.

Randolph is making $600,000 in the second season of a three-year deal, and Minaya said he prefers not having a manager in a lame-duck situation.
After the Mets had three consecutive losing seasons, Randolph, in his first managerial position, led the team to an 83-79 record last year. His squad is running away with the National League East this year.
Randolph said team officials haven't approached him yet, and laughed when asked if he would like them to.
"We have a championship to win," Randolph said. "That's totally my focus now."
REPLAY: Dave Williams had his fourth consecutive strong outing, and backed by Carlos Delgado's two-run homer in the sixth inning, the Mets beat Atlanta 4-1 Wednesday afternoon in the first game of a doubleheader.
Williams has worked at least into the sixth inning in each start and has given up a combined nine runs in those games.
For Delgado, it is the eighth time in nine years he has driven in at least 100 runs.
In the second game, Oliver Perez pitched a complete-game, five-hit shutout, guiding the Mets to an 8-0 rout.
Jose Reyes set a club record by leading off the game with a homer for the sixth time this season.

"I like Italo Calvino's idea of 'continuous cities,' as described in 'Invisible Cities.' He suggests that there is actually just one big, continuous city that does not begin or end: 'Only the name of the airport changes.' What is then interesting is to find, in that continuity, the less-obvious differences of texture: the signs, the markings, the assemblages, the things hiding in plain sight in each cityscape or landscape.
'Should we have stayed at home and thought of here?' But to have merely thought of here would not have revealed its subtle peculiarities, the peculiarities that are not written in guidebooks. Only direct observation can reveal those. The way streetlights and traffic signs vary, the most common fonts, the slight variations in building codes, the fleeting culture of ads (different in each place, even when the company is a multinational), the noticeable shift in the range of hues that people wear in a given city, the visual melody of infrastructure as it interacts with terrain."
—from "Far Away from Here," The New York Times Magazine
I write On Photography, a monthly column, in the New York Times Magazine. The column was a 2016 finalist for a National Magazine Award.
My solo exhibition, Punto d'Ombra, was presented in Milan in 2016; the book was published by Contrasto. The English edition, Blind Spot, will be published by Random House in June 2017, and accompanied by an exhibition, "Blind Spot and Black Paper," at Steven Kasher Gallery in New York City.
On my Instagram page, I experiment daily with words and images.

White House meets with Jewish groups on IranBy JOSH LEDERMAN , Associated Press
Oct. 29, 2013 7:55 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has updated Jewish and pro-Israel groups about its talks with Iran amid concerns by some of the groups about the U.S. easing sanctions pressure on Iran over its nuclear program.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group, attended the meeting along with the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee.
The White House's National Security Council says senior officials told Jewish leaders that the U.S. will not let Iran obtain a nuclear weapon but wants to resolve the nuclear issue through diplomacy.
The Obama administration is asking Congress to hold off on new sanctions while it pursues diplomacy. But Israel and AIPAC are pressing the administration to retain harsh economic sanctions.
AIPAC declined to comment on the meeting.
