is called to see the poor in our nation
empowered and celebrating life in community
where dignity, freedom and justice prevail".
in partnership with community based organisations
through sustainable development interventions,
productively impacting community economics,
health, education, housing, related infrastructure
and resultantly the quality of life in families."
In a world governed by economics the poor continue to be a low priority. The marginalized are non entities. We within the urban milieu see this contrast most starkly and the pain of this divide between the rich and the poor is sensed acutely.
Saahasee works towards the empowerment of the urban poor whose sense of dignity and justice is not necessarily governed by only economic factors but factors such as equality of all human beings and equal opportunity for all.
The focal point on which we leveraged all our interventions is the empowerment of women through thrift and credit groups wherein participation, inter-dependance, knowledge enhancement, sharing of knowledge and sustainability are key tenets.
The Rationale of our focus on women and self-help groups is primarily to converge three
key elements of sustainable development. The first is socio-economic empowerment of poor communities, the second is leadership development, the third is knowledge enhancement & management. In other words, while we work in general communities offering a variety of services, our success is determined by the communities, managing, governing and carrying this development process through a structured mechanism into poor communities.
It would be important at the outset to mention that with a core group of 25,000 members our outreach service among the slum communities would be meeting a general population of close to half a million urban poor people.
In our 23 years of experience as a development agency we have come upon a rather appropriate "model" of developing sustainable interventions in the urban poor communities in Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore and New Delhi. Within the economically driven emphases of our modern day world, it is a great challenge to continually retain dimensions of caring, sharing, with the so called non-productive groups ( the children, infirmed, the sick, the aged, the widowed etc.) and even more to explore ways and means in which they continue to be a productive part of our urban society.
We have in the recent past made strategic alliances with our community development approaches, interfacing our efforts with other stakeholders that impact decision making and subsequently the quality of life in poor communities. We have also interfaced our interventions with civil society in an attempt to improve the quality of life in the city. Saahasee as a national NGO strives towards building linkages so as to improve the life of the urban poor , their families, their communities in the city and our nation as a whole.

I had droopy upper eyelid as age catches up and it runs in the family. The thought of doing bleph was so scary at first. I did lots of internet research and thanks to all reviewers in RealSelf, in a way you guys helped me make this decision.
I finally did it on Jan 09 2009. It was so painless that I didn't take any medication at all after the procedure. The first 2 days I had swelling in my upper eyelid but on 3rd to 8th day, the swelling went down to my lower lids and cheeks. It swelled & bruised so much that it was almost level with my nose. On top of that my left eye turned out smaller than the right. At this point I got very nervous and worried if this would be a permanent look.
However, after about 2 weeks the bruises and swelling subsided almost completely. Now it's more than one month. I look completely different, so much younger and it boosted my self confidence. It was the best $2800.00 I've spent on myself. I wished I had done it earlier.

CJ Hauser
I have two lobsters in my bathtub and I'm not sure I can kill them. New England will know if I don't. New England will strip away my stripes and scissor my membership card if I cannot kill these lobsters. Henry is from Maine, which I found charming, until we moved here post-honeymoon.
I'm sitting on the rim of my bathtub. It has curled, porcelain feet with flaky rust between the toes. Everything is anthropomorphized in this house—that's my first problem. My second problem is that I pet the lobsters. I roll up a white-buttoned sleeve and run my pinched fingers along the length of Lobster No. One's antennae. It feels sensitive and unbreakable like coiled wire. Lobster No. One knocks his crusher claw against my hand, but there's a thick, pink rubber band binding it up so I'm in no real danger. I stroke Lobster No. Two's antennae as well, just so they're even. Both lobsters have dark spotted backs that remind me of Dalmatian puppies. I really should not be thinking of them as puppies. I get a six pack of bottled beer from the fridge and bring it to the bathroom.
This is my plan: I will get blind drunk and then I will kill these lobsters. I tie my hair up into a dark knob and hike my shorts at the waist, so I'm ready. I use the faucet to pry the cap off my bottle and beer geysers up. Fizz slides down the sides and plops in the water like sea foam. Henry says his mom gave her lobsters beer before cooking them. She also bathed them in seawater so they'd have one last taste of home. I ask the lobsters, "Do you feel at home?" Of course not, some bearded yahoo caught them in a pot. Their home is long gone. I don't think Henry has ever cooked a lobster in his life. He just eats them, to feel authentic. I need the whole town to ratify my authenticity. This is how it works.
"I love you and I get my mail here, isn't that enough?" I asked Henry.
"Of course it's enough." he said. "But it's part of the culture here! I want us to participate in the local culture." When I say culture I'm saying let's go to the MOMA. When Henry says culture he's saying cul-chah! in a wicked Maine accent.
I swing my legs over the side of the tub and stare at my underwater feet. My toes are painted the color the lobsters will be once I boil them. Lobster No. One and Lobster No. Two conference at the other end of the tub. Do they suspect? They are currently bruise colored.
I'll find a way to do this, because love is boiling the lobsters your freckle-backed husband thinks will grow you instant roots. And because I want roots too, even though the soil here is black and full of salt. My parents raised me an only child in a nineteenth floor penthouse. No one grows roots nineteen stories long.
I will make Henry see that I'm game for our new life. I turn over my beer bottle so it glugs empty into the tub, and then open another one for me.
The lobsters are jostling around my feet and I know I won't be able to kill them. I can live here and let it grow over me like a home but I cannot eat a lobster. I've devised a new plan, one to make Henry understand. I splash my feet around in the tub, because I think it's pretty good. I'm going to name them. I get a box of salt from the kitchen cabinet and shake it soundlessly down on the water so it will be briny like the sea.
I finish the last beer, lie down on the fuzzy bathmat and wait. It's almost six but the day is still warm. My legs stretch out past the mat and the tiles are cool. I think that this is not such a bad spot. I could lie here for a while.
"Leah?" Henry is home. "What are you doing down there? The bathroom smells like a bar."
"Welcome to the Lobstah Bah." I tell him.
Henry only has wrinkles when he's concerned. "Are you OK?" he says. "Why are the lobsters in the tub?"
"Henry, this is Lavender and this is Leopold and they eat scurf and they have names and so we should not eat them." Still lying on the floor I gesture towards the tub with one hand. "Don't they look at home?"
I sit up and Henry and I both kneel by the tub. He puts his big hand on my back, like he's still not sure I'm OK. "I'm as drunk as a lobster," I say. "Let's return Lavender and Leopold to the sea."
• •
That night in bed we are quiet although neither of us is sleeping. I wriggle so that Henry can feel my arm against his back, but he doesn't roll over which makes my heart feel like one of those long carnival balloons let fly so it whizzes through the air.
I want to mention that I'm good at many things. To start, I'm good at writing newspaper articles, which is what I did in New York. Outside of that, I'm a good cook, a fast runner, and I am excellent at loving Henry. In fact, I did such a stellar job of loving Henry that three months ago he decided to marry me, despite the fact that our two ages lumped together don't amount to half a century.
The thing is, despite my fierce balloon-heart love, Henry's worrying is putting a damper on things.
I throw off the blanket. It is far too hot and I appreciate the magical properties of our blue linen sheets that retain their cool long into the night. I can hear the ocean from here, but it's the steel bell buoys ring out a baritone song, one note for each time the waves rock the buoy. It's a deep, echoing sound I found haunting until Henry explained that the noise is meant to let ships know they're too close to shore when visibility is bad. I thought that was nice. Dong, dong, you're too close. Dong, dong, its alright, just turn away, we're watching out. I listen and stare at Henry's back.
Henry is still, but I trail my fingers between his shoulder blades that just barely protrude, like vestigial wings. I follow the vertebrae of his spine down to the small of his back where the bones disappear beneath the surface.
"Were you drawing a sailboat?" Henry asks.
I wasn't, but suddenly I wish I was.
"A sailboat would be like this," I say, and trace a boat body shaped like lemon wedge. I add a tall mast and two triangular sails. They would be white, if they weren't invisible.
I stare a moment and then move my finger in a curved but unbroken line along his lower back.
"Those are the waves," he says, "I can feel them."
"Yes," I say, "yes, those are the waves."

It would be my opinion (take it for what it's worth) that you are OK to put your firearm in the glove box while in the parking lot, but NOT OK to carry on the grounds anywhere at the airport. I don't usually play around at airports. I take the gun and holster and lock it up securely in the vehicle and be done with it.
There is a Charlotte city ordinance (15-14) that prohibits carry at Charlotte Douglas Airport, but the City of Charlotte acknowledges that there is a NC state regulation that permits the carry of a deadly weapon in a vehicle glove box. Check this out, and search out section 15-14 for more info. http://www.charmeck.org/city/charlot...chAprilPLB.pdf
Good luck!

Ft. Mitchell, Ky.--Five-star quarterback Zeke Pike decided to put an early end to his recruitment on Wednesday when Scout.com's number three ranked quarterback prospect in the country gave a verbal commitment to the Auburn Tigers, choosing Gene Chizik's program over dozens of other colleges.
"I made my decision last weekend when I was visiting Auburn," Pike said. "I felt like God was calling me to come to Auburn."
The quarterback said when he returned home on Monday he and his father met with his coach at Dixie Heights High and told him of the decision.
When the word got out that he was announcing his college choice on Wednesday afternoon, Pike said that he received literally hundreds of phone calls from college coaches trying to convince him to put off a decision or pick their school.
Pike made it clear on Wednesday that he is very comfortable his college choice. He said that he is done with recruiting except to help Auburn put together what he hopes will be the No. 1 ranked recruiting class in the country for 2012. The Tigers' 2011 signee class was ranked No. 2 in the nation by Scout.com.
Working his list down to a final group of Auburn, Clemson, Michigan, Arkansas, Tennessee, Purdue, and North Carolina with schools such as Florida, Michigan, Alabama, USC and Georgia also offering, Pike said there was just something about Auburn that he loved.
Zeke Pike
The love for both Pike and his father Mark, who played at Georgia Tech and for the Buffalo Bills for 12 years, started just over a year ago when they made their first visit to Auburn. Going back a second time for a summer camp, Pike said everything just fell into place for him.
"We came down for a spring practice," Pike said. "Auburn is just a great place. Since I went down there from day one it has just been a feel that I just love. It feels like family. It's a great place.
"It's a Godly atmosphere," he added. "I'm a Christian and it's a blessing to be down there. I just think it's a great place. There is something about Auburn I just love."
As a junior Pike threw for around 2,500 yards with 27 touchdowns and added almost 1,000 yards and 17 scores on the ground.

Distance - Enter the distance to your target or if you plan to get a table output, just put it whatever distance you want to calculate out to. You can touch the "Calc" button to the right of this input to bring up a dialog to estimate the distance to your target by entering the target's actual size and the size of the target as measured in your reticle.
Look Angle - This is the angle to the target from the perspective of your bore. If you're shooting 30deg up-hill, you'd put 30 here. If you're shooting 30deg down-hill, you'd put -30. If the target is straight in front of you, this would be set to 0. You can touch the "Get" button next to this input which will bring up a dialog that allows you to accurately measure your look angle using your device (note: this requires that your device has an Accelerometer). It's pretty straightforward to see how this measurement works. If you hold your device in one hand in the natural way and then rotate the device downward and upward by moving only your wrist, you'll see the reading get higher as you rotate the top of the device upward and lower and into negative values as you rotate the top of the device downward. The most accurate way to measure Look Angle using this tool is to:Place the device right on top of your barrel (obviously, make sure you're barrel isn't very hot).
Get your rifle situated and in-line with your target.
Touch the "Start Timer" button and after 5 seconds, it will automatically take a snapshot of the reading, close the dialog, and populate the Look Angle field with the read value. If you prefer, you can just touch the "Hold" button rather than "Start Timer" to grab the currently read value immediately.
Lead Speed - This is the speed your target is travelling.
Lead Angle - The angle of the target's direction with the line of sight. A 90deg angle is a target moving perpendicular to the line of sight.

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Awards :
|2nd place at Wolf 10th Anniversary
|Time Taken :
|5 months and 4 upgrades!
|Classic 80s costume. Loved the way I was able to make it light up but hated the way it gave me a headache.
Costume now in retirement as it is starting to fall apart.
Further to the headache thing. In order to light the El-wire, there are several inverters discretely placed around the costume running off 2 AA batteries. One of these inverters is inside the padding of the helmet, resting on the top of my head. Because of its close proximity, I can actually hear the inverter giving off a very high pitched whine when it's switched on, and after about 20 minutes of wearing it, it starts giving me a headache.
I think it is likely the frequency of the the invertor causing the headache as it always when away if I switched off the inverter. This is just something to be aware of if you intend to use electronics.
I like it. Is that EL wire that you used on it?
That is indeed El-wire. It's nice when technology catches up with movie special effects.
Did I read somewhere that you're (considering) using El-wire for a costume?
The TRON fangirl in me is squealing so high right now that only dogs can hear it. XD I very rarely see TRON cosplayers, so thumbs up to you!
I love this.
I'm planning on making Space Paranoids Sora soon!
I remember seeing this is person and thought how epic it was. Excellent job.
this is amazing! well done! :D
Thanks for your comments.
I really enjoyed making this costume and I'm glad it was so well received even if I was mistaken for a power ranger by a 12 year old! The only negative point is the severe headache it gives me due to the amount of electronics packed in to the suit, many near my head.
I think this costume is now in retirement, it is over 5 years old, but Tron 2 is coming out soon..... who knows?
Loving to retroness of this cosplay! The el wire looks amazing :) Awesome cosplay :)
Looks superb. Are you positive the electronics caused the headaches? eg did it happen more than once??
Without a doubt Ranma1-2.
It happened evertime I wore the helmet, and stopped once it was removed. It's because there is an inverter in the helmet which is sitting directly on the top of my head. The electronics elsewhere in the costume weren't a problem, just the one in the helmet.
This looks brilliant! :D
Ooooo. That sounds so not good! So the actual inverter must be causing some sort of dangerous emissions. :S ok so if the inverter box is mounted somewhere else like in a back pack and wrapped in silver foil it might be ok to use?
simply fantastic!
I had several other inverters on my person and they were fine, it was just the one in the helmet that caused the problems. I think it was because it was in direct contact with my head whereas the others were elsewhere on me (back, arms, etc).
In a back pack would be fine and you shouldn't need to wrap it in tin foil either.
Ok, no foil then ^_^
Still, makes you wonder, if they are emitting micro waves or something.
fffuck ffffuck fffuck nergasm. *___*
Ramna 1-2
I think it's the very high pitch noise the inverter emits when switched on that caused it, especially since it was in close proximity to my head. This meant I heard it constantly.
Wow! This is fantastic!
May I ask where you got your EL wire from?
Epic Tron dude!
Kudos to you!!!
It was several years ago when I bought it, but if I recall it was from loopy lights

largely shaped photograpy as an independent art form throughout
Editor's Notes
I sit down to write these notes in the week following
the events of September 11, 2001. The death and destruction in New
York, Washington, D. C., and rural Pennsylvania have cast a pall
that extends even to the production of a small literary magazine.
Many years ago, my friend and mentor Peter Taylor warned me, sagely,
to keep the topical, the newsworthy, out of my writing, largely
because it would have a distorting effect. Writers, he believed,
must have some significant distance from the story they are struggling
to make sense of. Likewise, I have tried to keep affairs of state
out of this column. What place do they have, after all, in so modest
a space? And because we aspire to a considerable "shelf life" for
the literature in this magazine, the topical soon would become trivial.
Yet it seems equally abhorrent in the early autumn
of 2001 to pretend we can practice business as usual. The world
has been changed, and we have just begun a process of discovering
in what ways and to what degree it has done so. We all, it seems
to me, are struggling for that distance from what transpired whereby
we will be able to reorient ourselves to past and future. The present
It is also fascinating to see the ongoing struggle
for mastery over the narrative of what happened. Who is the "author"?
Osama bin Laden? We are told that he engendered the plot, scudding
passenger planes into sky-scrapers. We glean snippets of the "back
story" he promulgates: decades of American perfidy from Israel and
Palestine to Saudi Arabia and beyond. Implied readers abound, each
reading the story by the light of particular context and judgment,
whether in the United States, the Middle East, or elsewhere around
the globe. According to bin Laden's narrative, our guilt is not
merely political and military; our very culture offends the sensibility
of this particular brand of mujahadeen. What
we cannot help but fear is further episodes he may surely intend.
The purpose of his story, then, is fanning that fear itself in hopes
of punishing Americans to the point of universal withdrawal, which
will, in turn, purge Islamic states of cultural infection.
Naturally, the U. S. government is struggling
not only to investigate the means and purposes behind the attacks,
to identify and punish those responsible, but, perhaps more important,
to wrest control of the narrative. We find ourselves now and for
the foreseeable future very much in media res.
We know how this story began—we all share visions of that second
airliner slicing its burgeoning fire through the south tower of
the World Trade Center. The middle of the story is upon us: the
cleanup, the listing of casualties, and the requiems for them. The
tensions of narrative drama are building toward the crisis, or really
the ongoing promised crises, of American military response. Even
though I write these lines assuming that military action will have
begun in some form before they are read, I also have little doubt
that it will be a long time before the conclusion is reached.
To what end that response? Practically, to forestall
future terror. Biological. Chemical. Environmental. Nuclear. These
are threats that hang over us as part of the pall I mentioned earlier,
in a way that we haven't felt since the early days of the Cuban
missile crisis and the cold war promise of mutually assured destruction.
The mutuality and the destruction seemed no less plausible then
than suitcases loaded with uranium or crop dusters with bacilli
do now.
Another ending promised by President Bush is justice.
Though we may argue about what constitutes justice, or
whether retribution or revenge are desires we ought to indulge,
all of these do provide closure—they shape the tale, give it
meaning and form, according to formulas that we recognize and even
crave. Because we want the story to have meant something.
It was horrific, yes, and unpredictable, yes, and even seemed chaos
brought home. But if we can impose a satisfying end to the tale,
we will be able to contain it, to understand and make sense of it,
and to lessen its capacity to scare the bejesus out of us. This
is one of the reasons that art and narratives are so important to
us: they start with the vital chaos that bombards our experience
and wrestles it into shape and meaning. If it's good art, however,
real art, the shape and meaning are never very secure—they
retain some of their danger, unsettle us too.
I don't believe that any version of the narrative
I've mentioned, or its beginning, middle, or end, will matter a
damn to individuals who lost a father or sister in the attacks.
For them, chaos did indeed intrude. The cause doesn't matter. Justice
or retribution will feel hollow. Life in its mad wildness resists
the balm of story. That will come later, one hopes, through memory,
eulogy, and perhaps enduring art.
—David H. Lynn

The following is an appraisal of your performance. Overall you do well at your level and win. I am purely providing this appraisal to help demonstrate that just because someone performs suboptimally, it does not mean that they are sh*t or that they are a fraud or not worth their grade.
Your stand up appears from this example to be below that of a Judo Yellow belt with 6 months training and is certainly far lower than that of the BJJ blue belts that I work with.
You came out with your back arched upwards and bent over at the hips. This enables your opponent to get a dominant over the top grip. It also means that you have to settle for a sh*tty leg/armpit grip. You also have a square on stance making it very easy to throw you with a variety of forward throws.
You should come out back straight, knees bent with your elbows close to your body. You should also avoid a square on stance and come out with either your left or right foot advanced.
As a right hander against another right hander, you should look to immediately secure a grip on your opponents sleeve and stop them grabbing your lapel or reaching over your back. This will destroy their ability to take you down. Only then do you look for a lapel or collar grip.
As a right hander against another right hander, you should look for a lapel grip feeding from your left to your right hand. Always take the inside grip unless you are mich stronger then your opponent. Again this can be used to destroy your opponents ability to take you down.
By fortune you manage to pull guard and your opponents own relative inexperience prevents them from a) totally squashing you and b) skipping straight past your legs and gaining total control on the floor.
On the floor the arm bar attempt is okay. However, your mount is no where near as strong as it could be. This enables your opponent to get back to half guard. On the mount you either want to hook your legs in by your opponents knees and use hip pressure to pin your them down. Or you want to take a high mount much closer to your opponents head.
ZST styleeee
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
Under-hooking the leg is equally valid and I've been taught both methods by black belts.
underhooking the leg and bringing yourself under them is a different sweep though. very different mechanics. i taught both last week
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
What I look for in a blue belt is Lagarto to say they are a blue belt and that's the same with all the other belts. My job is really easy, I just have to train hard. And when and if I'm good enough to move up a belt he will give it me and if I'm not good enough I won't get it but still train because I ENJOY IT.
Hey jogs why dont you get your lazy fat ass back in the gym and fight someone?. insted of trolling ENNIT!
flower sweeps flower sweep underhooking the leg or grabbing the gi pants
I'ts better to burn out than fade away!

Maggie Nelson's Bluets Adapted To Song
Maggie Nelson's Bluets has been set to music, along with writing by four other authors: Vladimir Nabokov, Michel Houellebecq, Matt Ruff and Helen DeWitt, by Seattle-based band Ball of Wax. Levi Fuller recorded them for Ball of Wax #25: Songs About Books.
A brief description from the Ball of Wax Bandcamp page:
5 artists were each assigned a different book to read by Paul Constant, books editor at the Stranger in Seattle. We went on to write 5 and record 3 songs inspired by these books. The full 15-song CD (Volume 25 of Ball of Wax Audio Quarterly) will be released at a concert on August 19th at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center.
You can hear a preview of Fuller's "Free Men," in addition to one song from each of the four other authors there.
Nelson also has a new book of criticism out, which we wrote about here.

Game Notes - Georgia vs. Auburn
Nov. 5, 2012
Game 10: Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) vs. Auburn (2-7, 0-6 SEC)
SEC Hardware On The Line
Since the first year of SEC football (1933), the Georgia-Auburn rivalry has decided the conference fate of the teams 20 times, whether it was a division crown or overall title. The Bulldogs are 11-8-1 in these games. The 2002 Georgia-Auburn game marked the last time the Bulldogs were assured of a trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game provided they beat the Tigers. Then seventh-ranked Georgia did just that, claiming a 24-21 victory on the Plains over No. 24 Auburn to finish 7-1 in the league. Meanwhile Arkansas beat LSU to represent the West. The Razorbacks, LSU and Auburn all ended up 5-3, but the Razorbacks came out ahead on the head-to-head tiebreakers. Georgia dispatched No. 22 Arkansas 30-3 to claim its first SEC title since 1982.
In 2004, eighth-ranked Georgia was 6-1 in the league and went to Auburn with a chance for a share of the
Eastern Division crown against the then third-ranked Tigers who had already clinched the West. The Bulldogs
did not control their destiny because of a loss to Tennessee. Auburn would post a 24-6 win over the Bulldogs
while the Vols would punch their ticket to Atlanta the following weekend against Kentucky to claim the East
outright at 7-1.
Series History
This marks the 116th meeting between Georgia and Auburn, the seventh most played rivalry in the NCAA FBS. The Bulldogs and Tigers first squared off in 1892 in Atlanta's Piedmont Park, making this the 120th anniversary of the series. Georgia trails in the series 53-54-8 but has won five out of the last six. A quick look at the total points scored in this rivalry reveals that only 38 points separate the teams. Georgia has scored 1,854 points while Auburn has tallied 1,778. The Bulldogs dropped their 2010 contest at Auburn 49-31.
Last season, Georgia turned a 7-7 tie in the first quarter into a 45-7 rout. The Bulldogs piled up 304 yards rushing and quarterback Aaron Murray went 14-for-18 for 224 yards and four touchdowns. Jarvis Jones paced the defense with two sacks and Alec Ogletree picked up six tackles and a forced fumble.
Big Ones In The Georgia-Auburn Series
1933 (Columbus): Auburn beats Georgia 14-6, denying the Bulldogs an SEC title.
Aiming For SEC East Title
Georgia will be aiming to make its second straight trip to the SEC Championship Game and fifth overall, all under Mark Richt. The Championship Game has been around since 1992 when the league expanded to 12 members with the addition of Arkansas and South Carolina. This year's game is scheduled for Dec. 1 at 4 p.m. on CBS in the Georgia Dome.
Familiar Faces On Tiger Sideline
Two former Georgia defensive coordinators are now on Auburn's staff in Defensive Coordinator Brian VanGorder and Secondary Coach Willie Martinez. The Bulldogs won the 2002 SEC title with VanGorder running the defense while Martinez was leading the defense during Georgia's 2005 conference championship. VanGorder's daughter, Morgan, is a senior runner on Georgia's cross country and track and field teams.
Jones, Murray Semifinalists For National Awards
Junior OLB Jarvis Jones and junior QB Aaron Murray have been included as semifinalists for a variety of national awards. Jones, a two-time Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week this season, is a semifinalist for the Bednarik, Maxwell, Butkus and Rotary Lombardi awards and is a quarterfinalist for the Lott Trophy. Murray is a Davey O'Brien Award semifinalist and a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm. Murray was also named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week after his performance versus Ole Miss, marking his second honor of this kind in 2012.
Catching Everything But A Break
For the second time this season, the Bulldogs have lost a receiver to an ACL injury. First, it was redshirt sophomore Michael Bennett during the week leading up to the South Carolina game. Most recently it was senior Marlon Brown during the Ole Miss game. Bennett had 24 catches for 345 yards and four touchdowns while Brown, who shares the team lead in receptions, had 27 catches for 469 yards and four scores. Also, Georgia has been without senior DE Abry Jones for the last three contests after he injured his ankle in the opening quarter at Kentucky.
Forcing 3-And-Outs
The Bulldogs rank third nationally forcing 50 3-and-outs this season. That is an average of 5.5/game. Florida State leads with 6.6 and TCU is averaging 6.22. Georgia and Wisconsin are next with top-ranked Alabama and Missouri rounding out the top five at 5.44.
Murray Directs Bulldog Offense
Junior QB Aaron Murray is one of the nation's elite at his position. The Tampa, Fla., native has been named a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award. Currently, Murray ranks second in the SEC in passing efficiency at 168.9. During the offseason, Murray graduated with a degree in Psychology after posting a GPA of 3.4 and is now in graduate school. In his 24 wins as a starter, Murray has 60 TDs to just 15 INTs. Murray is the SEC's leading active player in total offensive yards (8,873), completions (610), TD responsibility (90, which is tied for fifth in SEC history), TD passes (80, which is 6th in SEC history) and passing yards (8,646).
Murray reached 80 career touchdowns during an efficient performance versus Ole Miss (21-for-28, 384, 4) where he was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. He tossed his school record 76th touchdown pass of his career to lead Georgia to a 17-9 upset of #3 Florida in his home state. Murray had a school record-setting performance in the road win over Kentucky. He finished with the best completion percentage in a game (30-of-38, 79 percent) and a career-high 427 passing yards and four touchdowns. Another example of his efficiency came against Vanderbilt this year as he started the game 12- for-12, which is No. 3 on Georgia's all-time list behind 15 (Quincy Carter vs. LSU, 1998; Eric Zeier vs. Georgia Tech, 1993), and finished 18-for-24 for 250 yards.
Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Active Career Leaders List
A Look At The Line
Georgia's starting offensive line this season has featured junior Kenarious Gates at LT, junior Chris Burnette at RG, junior Dallas Lee at LG, sophomore David Andrews at C and freshman John Theus at RT. The unit did not give up any sacks versus #3 Florida and helped give the Bulldogs their sixth 100-yard rusher in 2012, and the first that the Gators had allowed this year. Andrews and Theus made their first career starts versus Buffalo while Gates lined up at LT against the Bulls for the first time after having 12 previous starts at guard. Theus became the first true freshman starter at OT since Trinton Sturdivant in 2007. In the last three games, sophomore Mark Beard has seen some action at LT when Gates has moved to LG.
Here's a look at Georgia's offensive production this year:
*school record, tied No. 6 in SEC history; ^first time in school history that the Bulldogs scored 40+ points in five consecutive games
Malcolm In The Middle Of Everything
Sophomore Malcolm Mitchell is demonstrating his versatility this season. After sitting out the first game with an ankle injury, he started the next three games at CB and has played on offense in the last five contests. On defense, he has recorded 12 tackles while on offense, the Valdosta native has hauled in 26 catches for 358 yards and two touchdowns.
Mitchell led the team against the Gators with five catches for 74 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown reception to clinch the victory. He was coming off a nine-catch performance at Kentucky as he posted the second 100-yard game of his career with 103 yards.
Mitchell also has 11 kick returns for 236 yards and 10 punt returns for 50 yards. Here is where Mitchell has spent his 434 snaps this season:
Defense - 178 snaps
Assortment Of Dangerous Targets
Georgia has had four different 100-yard receivers in five games this season as junior Aaron Murray likes to spread the ball around. And the Bulldogs are lucky Murray does spread it around since Georgia lost their second receiver of the season to an ACL injury when Marlon Brown went down against Ole Miss. In fact, he completed passes to 11 different Bulldogs in the win over Ole Miss as four different players caught touchdown passes. The Bulldogs leaders in the corps who are healthy are senior Tavarres King and sophomore Malcolm Mitchell. Georgia lost sophomore Michael Bennett (24 rec., 345 yds., 4 TDs) after he tore his ACL before the South Carolina game.
Mitchell led the attack in the upset of #3 Florida after hauling in five catches for 74 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown reception to clinch the win. He finished with a career-high nine receptions for 103 yards at Kentucky the week before.
King was Georgia's other 100-yard receiver in the win over the Wildcats with a career-high nine catches for a game-high 188 yards two TDs. King was named the National Wide Receiver of the Week by CollegeFootballPerformanceAwards after the Kentucky game. This marked his fifth career 100-yard game and his second this season. King, who has 27 catches for 551 yards, leads the team with six TD catches this season and has 18 in his career, which is fifth in school history. Already having graduated in Social Studies Education, he is No. 2 out of active players in the SEC in receiving yards (2,203) and TD receptions (18) and fourth in receptions (121). King is the active career leader in the NCAA FBS for yards per catch (18.2).
Brown made an impact for the Bulldogs' aerial attack. He had three 100-yard games, including three catches for 113 yards and a touchdown against Ole Miss.
Georgia's tight ends have played a bigger role as of late as junior Arthur Lynch and redshirt freshman Jay Rome have combined for 14 catches for 274 and two touchdowns.
Gurley & Marshall = "Gurshall"
Since the legendary #34 Herschel Walker lined up in the Bulldog backfield, every tailback since then has been compared to the Heisman Trophy winner who led the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship. This season, true freshmen Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, who wear No. 3 and 4 respectively, have been nicknamed 'Gurshall' by senior receiver Tavarres King.
Gurley became the first player this season to rush for more than 100 yards against #3 Florida after he went for 118 and a touchdown. Against Tennessee, he and Marshall combined for 294 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. Marshall averaged 16.4 yards/carry versus the Volunteers, tallying a career-best 164 yards and two touchdowns while Gurley equaled his career high with 130 yards and three scores. Gurley's longest TD run against UT covered 51 yards while Marshall's were 72 and 75 yards.
Gurley is second in the SEC in Rushing Ydg. Per Game (95.2), tied for second in Scoring (66 pts.) and third in All-Purpose Ydg. Per Game (131.1).
Gurley, a Tarboro, N.C., native, and Marshall, a Raleigh, N.C., native, are roommates. Gurley has already been named the SEC Freshman of the Week three times while Marshall has had the honor once. Gurley, Marshall and Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel shared the honor the last week of September.
Getting Defensive
Georgia has made key second-half adjustments as opponents have scored just 64 points in the second half, and one touchdown came on an interception return. The Bulldogs posted a second half shutout against Vanderbilt and Ole Miss while Tennessee and #6 South Carolina scored 14 each in the second half. In the win over #3 Florida, the Gators were held to a field goal. In fact in the 17-9 win, the Gators' points came from three field goals, which marked the first time since 1988 that Florida failed to score a touchdown against the Bulldogs.
Georgia forced turnovers on the Volunteers' final three possessions. The Bulldog defense forced the Gators into six turnovers after Florida entered the game with just four turnovers on the year. Only one of Florida's three field goals came on a drive that measured longer than 11 yards. The other two came off of Bulldog turnovers with one being a four-play, 6-yard drive and one being a five-play, 10-yard drive. Against Ole Miss, the Rebels built a 10-0 through the 11:45 mark of the second quarter. From that point on, Georgia's defense outscored Ole Miss 2-0. The Rebels' last 12 drives of the game resulted in no points, just 76 yards and three turnovers.
Here's a look inside the numbers for the Georgia defense this season:
SEC Sack Leader Jarvis Jones Is Back At It
Junior OLB and 2011 Butkus Award finalist Jarvis Jones gives the Bulldogs a solid foundation at linebacker with 22 career sacks in two seasons at Georgia. He is the current NCAA active career leader in sacks per game at 1.0. This season, he has 52 tackles, including 8.5 sacks and 15.0 tackles for loss, one interception, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, despite not playing versus Florida Atlantic (groin) and Kentucky (ankle). Jones has earned multiple national player of the week honors for his dominating performances at Missouri and versus #3 Florida. A consensus All-American, he led the SEC and was tied for fifth nationally with 13.5 sacks (which was just a half sack off David Pollack's school record 14 set in 2002) last year. His 22 sacks is ranked seventh in school history.
True freshman Jordan Jenkins has started two games for Georgia at the other OLB spot. He had a career day against the Commodores with a pair of sacks. Versus the Volunteers, Jenkins posted a sack and a forced fumble late in the final period with Tennessee in line for a potential game-tying drive at the Georgia 35-yard line. Jenkins made three starts this year (FAU, UK, #3 UF).
Ogletree & Rambo Return To Form
All-American safety Bacarri Rambo paced the secondary versus the Gators with five tackles, including a sack, and his first interception of the year. He now has 14 INTs in his career, which ranks second in school history. Rambo had seven stops and forced a fumble against Ole Miss last week. Junior ILB Alec Ogletree led the Bulldogs with a career-high 14 tackles and a tipped pass that led to an interception versus Tennessee. It was his first action of the season and marked his fourth career game with at least 10 tackles. Against the Rebels, Ogletree had 11 tackles, including a sack and one for a safety and his first career interception. Williams, Herrera Leading Bulldog Tacklers
Senior safety Shawn Williams and sophomore ILB Amarlo Herrera are tied for the team lead with 61 each this year. Williams had six tackles against #3 Florida, including a solo stop on a 4th-and-1 situation with the Gators in Georgia territory. Herrera tallied a career-high 11 tackles at #6 South Carolina after registering a career-high 10 stops at Missouri. He added a 35- yard interception return for a touchdown during the 56-20 win over Florida Atlantic.
A Swann In The Secondary
Sophomore CB Damian Swann has developed into one of the Bulldogs' most dangerous weapons. In the Ole Miss game, he had three tackles, one sack and two fumble recoveries, including a 53-yard return. Swann has 39 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries. He had an interception and a forced fumble against #3 Florida that led to 10 points in the Bulldogs' 17-9 upset.
The Bulldogs' secondary was tested heavily versus Tennessee. The Volunteers featured the SEC's top passing attack, the league's leading receiver and an offensive line that had surrendered just two sacks this year. UT QB Tyler Bray finished 24-of-45 for 281 yards with one sack and was picked off three times. Senior CB Sanders Commings had two interceptions in the final 6:00 to extinguish any Tennessee rally and was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week. He is the first Bulldog since Bacarri Rambo to have a pair of picks in a game since 2011. Commings also helped preserve the win over the Gators after pouncing on a fumble in the end zone late in the fourth quarter.
Big Guys Around The Ball
Georgia has an opposing frontline with senior N John Jenkins, a 6-3, 358-pound native of Meriden, Conn., and junior N Kwame Geathers, a 6-6, 355-pound native of Georgetown, S.C. They are flanked by junior Garrison Smith (6-3, 297) and Cornelius Washington (6-4, 268) at the DE spots. Smith, who is filling in for the injured Abry Jones, equaled his career high with seven tackles, including his first career sack, against Ole Miss. Geathers came off the bench to equal his career high with four tackles at Kentucky, including his first career sack and two tackles for loss. Also, Geathers blocked a PAT against Florida Atlantic to add to the frontline's threat.
Jenkins had a standout performance at #6 South Carolina where he had a career-high eight tackles and blocked the first field goal of his career. Versus Tennessee, he recovered a fumble late in the final period with the Volunteers attempting to tie the game. Smith leads this group with 35 tackles.
True Freshmen Specialists
Punter Collin Barber of Cartersville, Ga., and place-kicker Marshall Morgan of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., have replaced a couple of Bulldogs who are currently NFL starters (Drew Butler-Pittsburgh, Blair Walsh-Minnesota). Morgan has 55 points on the year. He has hit 6-of-9 field goals (including hitting both from 50+) and connected on 37-of-41 extra points.
Barber lifted a 57-yard punt on his first try against Buffalo and is averaging 40.4 yards this year with a career-long punt of 60 yards versus Ole Miss. This season is the first since 1985 that Georgia opened with a punter and placekicker without any collegiate experience. That year, punter Cris Carpenter and placekicker Steve Crumley were redshirt freshman.
The Return Men
Georgia has featured a couple of newcomers returning kickoffs and punts in 2012. Earlier in the year, freshman TB Todd Gurley was the primary kickoff returner. He tied a school, SEC and NCAA record with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter versus Buffalo. His record return came on the third time he touched the ball as a collegiate player. This was the first time the Bulldogs have had a 100-yard return since Brandon Boykin accomplished the feat versus Kentucky in 2010. Boykin had three of them in his career. Gurley still leads the SEC in kickoff return average at 34.7. However, sophomore Malcolm Mitchell now has 11 kickoff returns for 236 yards (21.5 avg.) and 10 punt returns for 50 yards (5.0 avg.).
Another of Georgia's punt returners is junior Rhett McGowan. He has five returns for 61 yards and is one of four Bulldogs to return punts this season along with Mitchell.
Two regulars on offense who have made significant contributions on special teams are senior running back Richard Samuel and sophomore FLK Chris Conley. Samuel thwarted Missouri's fake punt attempt in the fourth quarter. Samuel shed his block and tackled Tiger punter Trey Barrow to give the Bulldogs the ball at the Missouri 38 yard line. Conley blocked a Buffalo punt to set up a 35-yard field goal. Conley had one catch versus Kentucky that resulted in a touchdown.

"Soul-searching" chef Ferran Adria looks to Asia
By Cathy Yang
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Ground-breaking chef Ferran Adria is on a quest to find the soul of Asian cooking, which could perhaps provide key hints for future gastronomic inventions from the man who brought the world culinary foam.
Considered the world's best chef by several critics, Adria and his El Bulli restaurant became synonymous with a transformation of traditional dishes into fun and funky culinary adventures.
But, pleading a need for transformation, he last month shut the restaurant down -- at least in its current incarnation. It will re-open in 2014 as the El Bulli Foundation.
"I don't know much about Asia, and Asia could be an archive of ideas," Adria told Reuters in Hong Kong, on the sidelines of a trip promoting Spanish food, after a visit to Beijing and Shanghai.
"The gastronomical culture of China is very, very important. Simply to just get to know all the products that exist in China but not exist in the West would take months."
Roughly 15 trips to Japan have helped him understand the country and its cuisine a little, but this has merely whetted his appetite for learning about the rest of the continent.
"I've looked at the soul of the cooking and the reason of things (in Japan) and then I started looking at cooking techniques. But I haven't got to that point for the rest of Asia yet," he added.
At this stage he said his visit had almost sparked more questions than answers. Continued...

From what I've read, health care reform provisions won't take effect until 2013, when I will be 65 and qualify for Medicare. What do we do for health insurance in the next three to five years? Cross our fingers and hope that we have no medical issues during that time?
-- Connie B., Salt Lake City
Because of the recession, Connie's husband, a real estate agent, dropped his expensive individual health plan. Now insurance companies are saying both have pre-existing conditions and won't offer them coverage. Congressional Democrats have repeatedly cited examples similar to this one when touting their plan. But Connie is skeptical. She worries the bill offers them no relief in the short term and once enacted only will add to their hardships. She doesn't expect to qualify for any federal help paying for premiums and worries that she faces a fine if she doesn't get insurance.
While Connie is right that most of the major provisions won't kick in for a few years, all the health reform proposals include some immediate reforms, such as the creation of a new high-risk insurance pool. The pool would serve the uninsured and people such as Connie who were denied because of a pre-existing condition.
The House set aside $5 billion to create the program.
The Health and Human Services secretary would determine what was covered, though deductibles would be capped at $1,500 for an individual and the ceiling for out-of-pocket costs in a year would be set at $5,000. This new high-risk coverage would phase out once online insurance marketplaces are set up, which is expected to take place in 2013.
The legislation also extends COBRA benefits and reduces insurance companies' ability to restrict coverage for pre-existing conditions, while the online marketplaces, known as exchanges, are being developed.
Any requirement to have insurance or federal help paying for it won't take place until 2013. The government subsidies, in all of the major bills, are based on a sliding scale and cap out at 400 percent of the federal poverty level. For a family of four that equates to $88,200.

If you don't have your passports on hand for a quick trip south
of the border, head to Old Town San Diego. The historic site is
considered the birthplace of California, and it's got plenty of
Mexican flair. Kids will love the colorful marketplace full of
trinkets and other authentic items, as well as the old-fashioned
buildings that make up the "downtown" area. Wake up your taste buds
with a fish taco at one of the many authentic Mexican
restaurants-we liked Coyote Café and Coronado's Miguel's Cocina-and

The company making the most promising attempt at making flying cars a reality, Terrafugia, says it is incorporating some big improvements in its design.
At AirVenture, the big private aviation confab in Oshkosh, Wis., flying-car maker Terrafugia showed off a model of its next-generation design. This one will have improvements on the automobile, not aircraft, side of the equation. They include an energy-absorbing crush structure in the nose, a rigid safety cage to protect the occupants and touch-screen controls in the cockpit, um, driver's seat.
Just as rocket ships and robots before it, the flying car is poised to be the next childhood dream come true.
Started in 2005 by five MIT students, Terrafugia -- Latin for "escape from land" -- has been slowly designing and assembling a real, honest-to-goodness flying car.
The Federal Aviation Administration recently allowed the Transition to add an extra 110 pounds and still retain its Light Sport Aircraft classification. The Transition is scheduled to go on sale in late 2011. Already over 80 have been pre-ordered, totaling over $16 million in sales.
The company says that the flying car will help people use what they consider an underutilized resource -- small airports:
With the Transition, people could drive to the airport, fold out their wings and take off. Fill it up with standard gasoline and keep driving/ flying as long as you'd like with no worries over where to keep your unused car or plane. "The Transition isn't designed to replace anyone's car," the company's website says, "but it could replace your airplane."
The Transition will fly at 115 mph and has a range of 490 miles in the air. It gets 35 miles per gallon on the road. It has a continuously variable transmission and independent suspension. The Associated Press reports the price as $194,000, although the company's website says the price has not yet been determined.

The coffee produces may often get in touch with reputable contrast directories the minute they introduce a brand new model, claim momentarily some new world coffee mixture containers have actually just been introduced, it is definitely worth the manufacturers sending out a free of charge coffee item for testimonial just since they can be particular that if the coffee evaluator provides their products the ok then sales of their product are bound to enhance.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is the name given to a group of conditions that are inherited. Inherited conditions are passed on from your relatives through material in cells, called genes. A faulty inherited gene means that there is a problem with the formation and structure of collagen and connective tissue in the body. This leads to stretchy skin, loose joints and fragile blood vessels and body tissues. Treatment is aimed at trying to protect the skin and joints from further damage.
What is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome EDS) and what causes it?
EDS is the name given to a group of conditions that are inherited through the material contained in the nucleus of a cell, called genes. There is a problem with the formation and structure of collagen and connective tissue in the body.
Connective tissue is a fibrous tissue that gives support and structure and binds, or connects, parts of the body together. Collagen is a type of protein and is one of the main components of connective tissue. There are over thirty different types of collagen, found in different parts of the body. More than 80% of the skin is made up from collagen. Collagen is also found in the tendons, ligaments and cartilage around joints, as well as the blood vessels.
In someone with EDS, faulty genes mean that the amount of collagen in their body can be reduced and/or the collagen and connective tissue can be weaker. It can affect the skin, joints and blood vessels throughout the body leading to:
- Fragile and stretchy (hyperelastic) skin.
- Unstable and loose (hypermobile) joints.
- Fragile blood vessels and body tissues.
There are six main types of EDS that cause different problems and affect the body in different ways. The different types of EDS depend on which of the different types of collagen are affected and in what part of the body.
It is called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome after Edvard Ehlers and Henri-Alexandre Danlos who recognised and described the features of the group of conditions in the early 1900s.
How common is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and who is affected by it?
EDS runs in families and is an inherited condition. Inherited conditions are passed from parents through material contained in the nucleus of a cell, called genes. Genes control how the cell and the body work. It used to be said that EDS affected about 1 in 5,000 people. However, one type of EDS (hypermobile EDS) is not diagnosed as often as it should be. Therefore, this condition may affect a lot more people than was originally thought. Even though the problem with connective tissue and collagen is there from birth, the syndrome is not usually diagnosed until early adulthood. This is because it may take some time before the symptoms and signs become more obvious (see below). The arthrochalasia and dermatosparaxis types, however, are diagnosed mainly in childhood.
What are the symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)?
Not everyone with EDS will have the same symptoms. The symptoms can vary according to the type of EDS that a person has.
The six main types of EDS are known as:
- Classic type.
- Hypermobile type (the most common, formerly called type III).
- Vascular type.
- Kyphoscoliosis type.
- Arthrochalasia type.
- Dermatosparaxis type.
Below are some of the more common symptoms with EDS. One person may not have all of these symptoms.
Joint changes
The joints are loose (hypermobile) and hyper-extensible which means that they have a greater than normal range and degree of movement - they are very flexible. These joint problems are often described as 'double-jointed' by some people.
Dislocations of joints may easily occur. Joint pains are also common and curvature of the spine (scoliosis) may develop in some people. Children with hypermobile joints can take longer than average to sit, stand or walk. Note: people with the vascular type of EDS often do not develop joint problems.
Skin changes
In all types of EDS except the vascular type, the skin feels soft and stretchy - a bit like dough. It is also very easy to pull the skin upwards and away from the body - it appears to be very elastic. When you let go, the skin immediately returns to its normal position.
The skin may also be very delicate so that it bruises and becomes injured easily. This is because blood vessels near to the skin surface may be very delicate and fragile and can be damaged easily. Problems with skin healing and excessive scarring may be a problem in some people. In the vascular type, the skin may look as if you can see through it (translucent) so that you can see blood vessels underneath the skin.
Weakness of the muscles
This may be noticed perhaps by difficulty with walking, falling over frequently or because of problems controlling the movements of the body. In more severe cases, people may need a stick or a wheelchair to help them walk or move about. Poor grip and difficulty writing may also be a problem for some people. Sometimes trouble with speaking can occur because the muscles that help the person to speak are weakened.
Other symptoms and problems
- Firm lumps a few centimetres across over the elbows and the knees develop in some people with EDS.
- Varicose veins may also be more common than in the general population.
- Teeth problems, including delay in teeth coming through (teeth eruption), can occur. Sometimes not all permanent teeth may ever appear.
- In some women with EDS, pregnancy may be difficult and dangerous because there is a risk of bleeding.
- Weak collagen can also lead to problems inside the body. It may make the heart valves or the walls of the large artery leading from the heart (the aorta) weak.
- Collagen weakness of the intestines can cause hiatus hernia, constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.
- People with the hypermobile type can develop asthma-type symptoms due to collagen changes in the lungs.
- The hypermobile type can also be associated with nervous system symptoms such as headaches, persistent body pains and tiredness.
- Psychological difficulties can include anxiety and panic disorders.
- Some types of EDS cause eye changes. The areas around the pupils may be blue rather than white and the eyeballs themselves may be very fragile.
How is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) diagnosed?
EDS is sometimes quite difficult to diagnose. It is usually suspected because of the typical symptoms. The doctor may ask about close family members and any problems and symptoms they may have had with their skin or joints.
Sometimes, a sample (biopsy) of the skin may be suggested to help confirm the diagnosis. The skin biopsy may allow doctors to determine which type of EDS a person has. It is a simple procedure which is usually done under a local anaesthetic. A small sample of skin a few millimetres across is taken (usually from the inner arm). One or two stitches may then be needed to close the skin back up. The skin sample is then examined underneath the microscope in the laboratory. Typical changes in the skin can be seen in the different types of EDS. Skin cells can also be analysed to see whether there are any problems with the material that makes up the cells, called genes.
The hypermobility type is very similar to benign joint hypermobility syndrome (BJHS). The two conditions may be different degrees of the same thing. EDS is usually the diagnosis where there is a strong family history, or where conditions like hernia and dislocations occur. BJHS is usually the diagnosis where the main symptoms are pain and joint hypermobility without the associated, more potentially damaging, conditions.
What is the treatment for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)?
There is no specific treatment for EDS. Treatment is generally aimed at trying to protect the skin and the joints from further damage.
People living with EDS need to think about and use their joints carefully and sensibly. They should be careful to avoid heavy lifting and contact sports, so as to minimise any trauma to their joints. Protective splints and joint supports may be helpful. Physiotherapists may be able to help and advise about the balance between rest and exercise. Walking aids such as sticks and wheelchairs may sometimes be needed. Occupational therapists may be able to advise about home adaptation and aids to help with daily living.
Painkillers may help with joint pains. Sometimes vitamin C supplements may be suggested, as vitamin C may lessen the tendency to bruise easily.
A medication called celiprolol may be given to people with the vascular type of EDS, to prevent the walls of large blood vessels from splitting and bursting.
If someone has EDS, it may be helpful for them to talk to a genetic counsellor to discuss the risk of them passing on EDS to any future children.
What is the outlook (prognosis) for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)?
The outlook depends on which type of EDS a person has. If someone has the type that affects the blood vessels (the vascular type) then there is a risk of bursting (rupture) of large blood vessels in the body. There is also a risk of rupture of the internal organs. With other types of EDS, there is not this same danger. Most people with EDS are generally able to lead healthy and full lives.

Oct 12 (Reuters) - China s Li Hao-tong became the youngest winner on the OneAsia Tour after the 19-year-old shrewdly overcame some extreme winds to ease to a four stroke win at the million China Masters.
I think I am too young to win a Masters event, joked the world number 451 after his final round one-under-par 70 gave him a 275 total of nine-under.
I could not stand sometimes when I was putting as the wind was so strong. I never played in wind like this.
Lee Jun Seok of Australia fired an impressive 69 in the 40 miles per hour gusts to finish in second, while South Korean Todd Baek was a further two shots adrift in third after a 74.
Korean Kim Bi-o was the previous youngest winner on the circuit, which begun in 2009, when he claimed this event in 2011 aged 20. (Writing by Patrick Johnston in Singapore, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

Engel v. Amonett
Mark Robert Engel and Daniel Michael Engel appealed a probate court's order disqualifying them as co-executors of their mother's estate and appointing a third party to administer the estate. Some of their siblings alleged Mark and Michael had been selling some of their mothers' personal property without express permission to do so. Mark and Daniel argued the probate court stated that it was disqualifying them because the heirs, which included them, did not get along and for "efficiency of administration," which they claimed were not proper grounds for disqualifying them from serving as co-executors. The Alabama Supreme Court found no reversible error and affirmed the probate court. View "Engel v. Amonett" on Justia Law

Gelber v. Glock
At issue in this case was the validity of instruments executed by Beverly Gelber two months before she died. The documents purported to convey Beverly's home and personal property to her daughter, Meryl Glock. Lawrence Gelber and Darlene Fleischmann, Beverly's children and the executors of her estate, filed this lawsuit asserting that Meryl wrongfully induced Beverly to execute a deed of gift and bill of sale through undue influence and fraud and that the bill of sale, which Beverly executed in her individual capacity, was of no effect because Beverly's personal property was held in trust. The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part the judgment of the circuit court and remanded this case for a new trial, holding that the circuit court (1) did not err in denying the executors' motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of title and possession of Beverly's personal property, in excluding records of real estate tax assessments on Beverly's home, and in granting the motion to strike the executors' evidence on the civil conspiracy claims; and (2) erred in excluding from evidence declarations made by Beverly disavowing the property transfers and in granting the motion to strike the executors' evidence on their claims for undue influence and promissory fraud.

Gaston v. Wagner
In this probate action, the district court erred by refusing to grant Appellants' Wyo. R. Civ. P. 40.1 motion for peremptory disqualification of the assigned judge. Appellants, the surviving children of Robert Meeker, contested Meeker's will, which left the bulk of his estate to Appellee. Appellants filed a petition to set aside the probate of the will and also filed a motion for change of judge under the peremptory disqualification provision in rule 40.1. The judge assigned to the probate had presided over an earlier, related guardianship/conservatorship action. The district court denied the motion for peremptory disqualification as untimely and granted summary judgment to Appellee on the will contest. The Supreme Court reversed, holding (1) Appellants timely filed their motion to peremptorily disqualify the assigned judge when they filed it on the same day they filed their will contest, and therefore, the district court erred when it denied Appellants' motion for peremptory disqualification; and (2) accordingly, the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Appellee was void.

In re Guardianship & Conservatorship of Jones
Plaintiff, conservator and guardian for his son Vincent Jones, and Plaintiff's counsel (Attorney) appealed from two orders issued by the probate court that (1) dissolved and replaced a supplemental needs trust that had been created for Vincent's estate, and (2) directed the Attorney, who created the original trust, to disgorge legal fees paid to her by Vincent and conditionally to pay additional amounts. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed in part and vacated in part, holding (1) the probate court's order creating a new supplemental needs trust for Vincent was not void for lack of statutory authority; and (2) the payment order against the Attorney deprived the Attorney of due process.

Newman v. Howard
This action concerned a piece of real property located in Calhoun County, Alabama. Lynda Newman, individually and as personal representative of the estate of Oscar Newman, deceased, appealed the summary judgment entered in favor of Michael and Rhonda Howard. The Howards owned the property in 2003 and in April 2003 mortgaged the property to secure a note. In 2007, the Howards conveyed the property by general warranty deed to Lynda and Oscar Newman; Oscar, Lynda's husband, subsequently died. It was undisputed that, unbeknownst to the Newmans, the 2003 mortgage was not satisfied by the Howards before the conveyance and remained an encumbrance on the property. The Newmans and the Howards were involved in litigation concerning numerous claims against one another, as well as others, involving deeds, financing agreements, mortgages, and contracts between the various parties concerning several pieces of real property, including the property at issue in this case. Before a final judgment was reached in that litigation, in December 2014 the parties dismissed the lawsuit and entered into a "settlement agreement and mutual release agreement." Also in December 2014, shortly after Lynda signed the agreement, she attempted to sell the property at issue here. During the process of closing on the sale of the property, Lynda's attorney conducted a title search of the property and discovered that the property was encumbered by the 2003 mortgage. Lynda requested that the Howards satisfy the mortgage pursuant to the terms of the May 16, 2007, warranty deed. The Howards refused. Following a hearing, the circuit court granted the Howards' summary-judgment motion on the sole basis that Lynda had released any claims she may have had against the Howards. Lynda appealed. The Alabama Supreme Court reversed, finding Lynda timely objected to the Howards' reliance on the affirmative defense of settlement and release in their summary-judgment motion and equally clear that an amendment to specially plead that affirmative defense was not made by the Howards. The circuit court erred in granting the Howards' summary-judgment motion based on an unpleaded affirmative defense of release. View "Newman v. Howard" on Justia Law
In re Trust Created Under the Will of Samuel M. Damon
Christopher Haig and Myrna Murdoch, two beneficiaries of a testamentary trust created under the will of Samuel Damon, objected to the probate court's approval of the trust's accounts from 1999 to 2003. The intermediate court of appeals (ICA) affirmed the probate court's judgment. Christopher and Myrna separately applied for a writ of certiorari asserting that their due process rights were violated when they were not granted access to documents disclosed to the court-appointed master by the trustees of the trust, which prevented them from making informed objections to the master's reports regarding the trusts' accounts during the relevant time period. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the ICA erred in affirming the probate court's approval and adoption of the master's report without first granting the beneficiaries' requests to access trust administration documents, in violation of the requirements of Haw. Rev. Stat. 560:7-303. View "In re Trust Created Under the Will of Samuel M. Damon" on Justia Law

In re Ishida-Waiakamilo Legacy Trust
This case arose from the administration of two irrevocable trusts (together, the trusts) established by Richard and Rachel Ishida. The trusts named as beneficiaries the Ishidas' daughters Jeri Wilson and Juney Ishida and their granddaughter Kaki Wilson, but the trusts expressly excluded the Ishidas' third daughter, Deenie Kimora. Six years after they created the trusts the Ishidas requested rescission of both trusts, alleging that they did not intend to make the trusts irrevocable and that Jeri had wrongfully transferred ownership of property from one trust to herself. The probate court ordered the property transferred by Jeri returned to the trust but declined to rescind or reform the trusts. The intermediate court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the probate court did not err in denying the Ishidas' requested relief because the matter was within the court's equitable discretion; and (2) the ICA properly found that the probate court was not required to accept at face value the Ishidas' petitions, which were verified pursuant to Hawai'i Probate Rules Rule 5(a).

In re Estate of Peter A. Turcic Sr.
In 2013, Peter Turcic Sr. died intestate. Peter was survived by his daughter, Patricia Turcic, and his son, Peter Turcic Jr. Patricia was appointed as personal representative of Peter Sr.'s estate. Thereafter, the probate court appointed Melvin and Ronald Christie, Patricia's uncle and cousin, conservators of Peter Jr. The Christies then requested removal of Patricia as personal representative of the estate. The probate court removed Patricia as representative and appointed attorney J. Michael Talbot as representative of Peter Sr.'s estate. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed because Patricia did not provide a transcript for review and did not file a Me. R. Civ. P. 52 motion for specific factual findings. View "In re Estate of Peter A.

Brenner v. Universal Health etc.
Plaintiffs Nancy Brenner, individually and in her representative capacity as representative of the estate of Dale Brenner, and Zach Brenner, individually, appealed judgments entered in favor of defendants Universal Health Services of Rancho Springs, Inc., doing business as Southwest Healthcare System - Inland Valley Medical Center (UHS) and Dr. Young H. Lee, M.D. (Dr. Lee or Lee). Dale Brenner, Nancy's husband and Zach's father, was a patient at the Inland Valley Medical Center for approximately 23 days after he suffered a stroke a few hours after arriving at the emergency department of the hospital. He was eventually transferred to another medical facility, where he later died. Approximately a year after Dale Brenner's death, the plaintiffs sued UHS, Lee, and additional defendants, asserting causes of action for wrongful death based on medical negligence; retaliation; and elder abuse. Lee and UHS moved for summary judgment, which the trial court granted. On appeal, the plaintiffs contended the trial court erroneously granted summary judgment in favor of UHS and Lee. Finding no reversible error, the Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's judgments. View "Brenner v. Universal Health etc." on Justia Law
Thomas Gilcrease Foundation v. Cavallaro
Plaintiff filed a declaratory judgment action against the Teton County Assessor seeking a declaration that the trusts for which it acted as trustee were charitable trusts within the meaning of Wyo. Stat. Ann. 4-10-406(a) and were exempt from taxation under Wyo. Stat. Ann. 39-11-105(xix). The district court dismissed the complaint, concluding that the primary jurisdiction doctrine made dismissal of the action appropriate. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) because Plaintiff failed to exhaust its administrative remedies before filing a complaint in the district court, the district court properly dismissed the complaint; and (2) to the extent Plaintiff may have properly invoked the district court's jurisdiction the district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that the primary jurisdiction doctrine warranted dismissal of the action in favor of review through the administrative process.

Right-wingers are so mad at President Obama for trying to fix the economy they're renewing a war they lost 75 years ago – against FDR and the New Deal.
The Fox mantra has been that the New Deal didn't end the Depression, but only made it worse; that only World War II ended the Depression.
Ferrel Guillory, on whom I depend for historical perspective, says the Roosevelt-trashing ignores what really happened: The New Deal of 1933 did pull the country out of the depths of the Depression. Then, in 1937, FDR listened to the conservatives who wanted him to cut spending and balance the budget. The result was that the country fell back – hard.
A new biography of FDR – Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, by H.W. Brands – sums up what he did. And serves up a lesson for today:
Did he get everything right? By no means, and he never claimed that he did. But he got a great deal right. He caught the banking system in free fall and guided it to a soft landing. He sponsored rules that helped prevent a recurrence of the banking collapse and of the stock market crash that preceded it. The programs his administration formulated furnished jobs and experience to much of a generation of young people. He helped the parents of these young people keep their homes and farms. He showed their grandparents that old age need not be accompanied by poverty. He gave workers a hand in their efforts to rebalance relations between labor and capital.
Beyond everything else, he provided hope. He didn't end the Great Depression, which was too large and complex for any elected official to conquer. But he banished the despair the depression had engendered. He understood intuitively – or perhaps he learned from Uncle Ted and Woodrow Wilson – that the presidency was above all a moral office. A president who speaks to the hopes and dreams of the people can change the nation. Roosevelt did speak to the people's hopes and dreams, and together they changed America.
That's why my late father, a child of the Depression, always put FDR on a pedestal. And why he would be looking for the same hand and hope from the President today.
