Many of us have a favorite sports announcer or a favorite radio personality so, I am sure that most all the fans who attend drum corps events would put Fran Haring at or near the top of their list.
Fran's older brothers, Lenny and Marty, joined a local junior corps, the Raiders of 88, in 1967. The corps was sponsored by American Legion Post 88 in Highland Park, NJ, which was one town over from their home in Edison.
Fran went to several shows that summer to watch the corps compete in the old Garden State Circuit, in its first and (as it turned out) only season on the field. He joined the Raiders in the fall of 1967 as a French horn player, but the corps disbanded a few months later.
The Haring brothers then joined the Little Falls Cadets junior corps in Northern New Jersey, but the hour-long trip to rehearsals proved to be a bit much for nine-year-old Fran, so he left the corps before the 1968 competition season began.
Brother Lenny joined the Sacred Heart Crusaders from Manville, NJ, for the 1969 season and Fran joined in 1971. From 1971 to 1976 he marched six seasons with the New Jersey corps and then six seasons with the Long Island Sunrisers senior corps. One of the reasons he joined the Sunrisers was that the corps was bringing back French horns for the 1977 season.
Talk about being in the right place at the right time. The Sunrisers won the DCA World Championship in 1977, Fran's first, then two more titles in 1978 and 1982. The summer of 1977 was a magical one for Fran as he came from a struggling junior corps to a corps that captured a world title.
During his marching days, Fran thought it would be cool to announce drum corps shows. His favorite PA announcer during that time (and in his opinion, to this day the best in the history of drum corps) was the legendary Wes Hobby. Fran emceed one of the Sunrisers' indoor concerts while he was still with the corps.
After several months from his final season with Sun, he sent a letter to Fred Windish, the chairman of the local organizing committee for the DCA Championship in Allentown, PA, asking if he could be the announcer for the 1983 championship. Fran figured he had a slim chance at this, but Fred took him up on his offer!
Fran also had a great deal of help from Nick Yaworski, who was a member of the DCA Executive Committee at that time. Nick lobbied DCA President Mickey Petrone and persuaded him to give Fran a chance.
Before the championship in 1983, he co-announced the Sunrisers' outdoor show with John Hodge, a fellow Sunriser. The Bushwackers then hired Fran to announce the "National Dream" contest, which the Bushwackers were running that summer in Bayonne, NJ. That show began the "solo" announcing career for the familiar voice of DCA.
"The main objective in announcing is to stay out of the way and not say anything stupid," Fran states. However, things do happen along the way during a live performance. He firmly believes that the shows are all about the drum corps and not the announcer, but to have some fun and add a bit of entertainment for the fans.
His most memorable drum corps moment happened in 2005 during DCA Prelims when Joel "Lothar" Magnuson of the Racine Kilties collapsed and died on the field during the corps' performance. The unbelievable rush of emotions that everyone who was there felt — and how the Kilties managed to regroup and come back to perform again that evening after that tragedy — was truly one for the ages.
On to a lighter subject, in the early 2000s, Chris Bauer, percussion instructor for the Hawthorne Caballeros, wore some of the wildest and tackiest Hawaiian shirts Fran had ever seen. Chris, along with Al Katz of the Cabs and Vic Kulinski of Heat Wave, have also been known to sport some loud shirts.
This became Fran's inspiration to find some of those shirts for his own collection which he still wears to this day at DCA shows.
Fran is encouraged by the growth of DCA with new corps growing all over our country and feels that some day the DCA Championship will need to move out of the Northeast to add to and strengthen its fan base. Growth is good but steady, careful growth is a better idea in the long run.
The Class A movement in DCA has been a terrific thing as they now have an opportunity to compete against corps their size, make Class A finals and possibly win their own championship. It also provides an opportunity for an up-and-coming corps to get their feet wet in Class A before moving up to Open Class as Alliance and Music City Legend have done.
When it comes to alumni corps, Fran feels that any bad blood that exists between them and the all-age competing corps can be overcome. The alumni corps give all of us a chance to see how drum corps was done "back in the day." They are basically a living history lesson, a lot of fun to watch and the "Alumni Spectacular" show has been a welcome addition to the DCA Championship weekend.
The Hawthorne Caballero organization is the model for how an alumni and competing corps can work together to ensure the growth, success and legecy of their organization.
Much credit has to be given to all the competing corps of DCA for still being able to put a great product on the field despite all the economic obstacles and time limitations.
Fran started writing for Drum Corps World in 1983 and his favorite assignment was a behind the scenes feature in the spring of 2002 on the Westshoremen Alumni corps, reporting on the day of the first performance at "Serenade in Brass" in Harrisburg, PA.
Barbara Haring, Fran's wife, was part of that group and was a charter member of the Westshoremen Alumni in 2002. She marched in the color guard with the Yankee Rebels/South Wind all-age corps from Baltimore, MD, for the 1977 season, then with Westshoremen from 1978 to 1981 as a mallet player.
Barbara got involved through her mom and dad, Fred and Lillian Mowbray. Fred was a writer for Drum Corps News and Drum Corps World.
After longtime DCA I&E Coordinator Donna Ernst passed away following the 2004 season, she volunteered to help I&E founder Dick Pronti in his new role as I&E coordinator. She handled the mini-corps scheduling in 2005, 2006 and up until she took ill in the summer of 2007.
Fran and Barbara met (where else) at a drum corps show, the 1988 DCA Championship in Hershey, PA. They reunited again in 1989 at finals in Allentown, got engaged in September 1990 and were married in April 1991.
As many of you know, Barbara suffered a major stroke in July 2007 and faces a long road of rehabilitation. Fran and Barbara send a huge thank you to all the folks involved with DCA, from management, to the members and staffs of the corps, to the fans who have gone out of their way to welcome them and offer their help and encouragement at the shows they have attended since Barbara took ill.
Many of us have heard the phrase "drum corps is one big family." If Fran and Barbara didn't know this to be true before July 2007, they certainly know it now!
When not doing drum corps, Fran roots for the Mets, Jets and Nets in their respective sports, as well as the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles. He prefers college to pro football and follows Texas, Rutgers and Alabama. He loves watching pro golf and tried his hand at the sport for a while, shooting a 75 in his first time out. He then realized he had nine more holes to go!
Fran is a member of a Toastmasters public speaking club in the Baltimore area and highly recommends joining a local club to anyone who wants to polish their speaking and presentation skills or overcome a fear of speaking in public.
It has been an extreme pleasure to bring you this article on one of DCA's best-kept secrets. Many of us know Fran from talking with him at the shows we attend. It always amazes me how many people he knows and always knows their names.
If Fran were to ever run for political office, I am certain he would win in a landslide.

Exposure Protection
Here you will find everything you need to keep yourself protected from the elements. We have wetsuits ranging from 0.5mm up to 5mm thick, for both diving and freediving. We also have a large selection of gloves, hoods, boots, socks, and vests for protection and warmth, all of which are available in our store for you to try on and find the best fit.
There are two main types of neoprene in wetsuits: open cell and closed cell. Open cell means that the inside of the wetsuit is not lined with a lycra or nylon material like a traditional scuba or surfing wetsuit. The advantage of this is that the wetsuit is usually stretchier and conforms to the body better, resulting in a better fit and warmer suit. The disadvantage is of course the durability of open cell neoprene; it is very easy to rip or tear the suit when putting it on or taking it off. To minimize this risk, it is necessary to use lube when putting on an open cell wetsuit. It is also best to keep your nails short, and take off any jewelry including rings, necklaces, and bracelets prior to putting the open cell suit on.
Look for the stretchiest , most comfortable suit in your price range. The added warmth and flexibility that a good freediving wetsuit will give you can make a significant difference on your diving. Stretchier wetsuits are best because they minimize resistance placed on the diver's chest, thereby minimizing oxygen consumption and allowing for longer bottom times. Most importantly, we invest in a good freediving wetsuit for our safety. When the freediver is properly weighted, the buoyancy provided by the wetsuit can be used to minimize the effort on the ascent and conserve energy and oxygen at the end of the dive.

Burton Diode Bindings- Busted
113 Attachment(s)
Took off my bindings tonight to inspect and found this.
Each binding has a crack in the base where the base plate mates up with the base. Both, while might not be obvious in the pictures, are all the way through and can be manipulated up or down to completely separate.
On top of that Burton already has one new high back in the mail, as well as two new heel cup pads since all three have come unglued.
Looks like I'll be getting new base plates as well. Big deal, if these broke why won't the next ones......
Attachment 14578
Attachment 14586
Attachment 14594
Attachment 14602
Thanks for the heads up! I'll check mine too... I really wish Burton still made premium bindings with standard plates. I don't need this re:flex business...
Wow; that really blows. I'm thinking its less an issue with the reflex and more of an over coring and use of material that is to stiff/brittle.
Ill check mine too.
Im on my 3rd broken highback and Ive given up on those stupid sticker pads.
My rear toe ratchet seems to be loose after every run now too. Not to mention the constant ice build up on the stupid circles in the footbeds and highbacks.
Its a pity I love them cause they really are fragile pieces of shit.
Pick 2
I will take the first two, although I haven't broken anything yet on mine.
Burton Diode Bindings- Busted
Nothing of importance broken on mine yet and I've definitely crashed hard.
The only problem i encountered is a small piece of foam has come unglued from high back. And yes the ice thing is uber annoying if I go to a bc mountain that has wet snow.
I'm a huge fan of Burton bindings in general, but I hate when they take form over function like they did with alot of parts of the Diode. You could tell there were going to be issues with the funky looking inside highbacks and footbeds as those holes made for too many places for dirt and snow to build up. No FLAD was a pain to setup and dial in... at least they're adding that to the 2014s. As far the cracked baseplate, I'm guessing that's what happens when you take a stiff reflex baseplate and pair it with a soft or mid flexing board?
Waiting to see the genesis hiback issue posts appear... these are one seriously comfy pair of bindings, but those hibacks are seriously fragile.
^^^^ well, feb 24 and no threads on the genesis highback yet, so I'm guessing there isn't a problem

I just hit two days of intense riding in trees, steeps, and pow and more pow! :yahoo:
Anyways ..... The padding on the back binding is now barely hanging on.
The lack of FLAD sucks but for such a stiff binding , at least for me, I've been very happy with set it and forget it , and its served me well.
The ice build up got so bad at one point I had to use a stick to scrape it off just so I could strap in. Complete garbage for top of the line shit.
Mt hood meadows (that's where I bought them) is trying to get their local rep to get me new plates or possibly new bindings this week. I leave for 7days of Utah this Saturday so time is of the essence. They knew exactly where the cracks were before I even showed them, right at the 36* mark. So this obviously isn't a rare occasion. They thought it was re-flex also.
And let's not forget I already have a new high back on the way as well as heel cup stickers.
Was thinking I might try to find a c60 or ,,, what's the other super stiff burton binding that's been discontinued?
I don't know. I love how burton straps work like butter, and I'm so happy with the performance but shit ...... I don't see the next set doing any better. :icon_scratch:

The Commander, clearly angered as he emerged from the session said, "This reimbursement plan would be inconsistent with the mandate ' to care for him who shall have borne the battle' given that the United States government sent members of the armed forces into harm's way, and not private insurance companies. I say again that The American Legion does not and will not support any plan that seeks to bill a veteran for treatment of a service connected disability at the very agency that was created to treat the unique need of America's veterans!"I find this to be extremely cold treatment toward those who have sacrificed to protect our freedoms. I also find it extremely stupid politically. While Congress and the President are bailing out their high-roller friends in the banking and investment business and those who can't or won't pay their mortgage, they're going to dump on Vets and make them and their insurance companies pay for their own medical treatment? I don't get it.

Veterans Pay, Politicians Play (With Your Money)
Posted by Richard G. Williams, Jr. at 6:00 AM
12 comments:
- cenantua said...
Yes, this idea of making veterans pay is totally idiotic and unappreciative. I'm among the disabled veterans but by no means do my injuries measure up to those who have sacrificed limbs and mental state in the name of this country. To say that this ticks me off doesn't come close to my opinion on this.
- 17 March, 2009 08:58
- Richard G. Williams, Jr. said...
Robert - It doesn't even make sense from a political perspective. I think very few, regardless of party affiliation, would be in favor of this and the so-called savings is chump change compared to every thing else we're spending.
- 17 March, 2009 10:25
Democrats are no friend of the Veteran.
- 17 March, 2009 11:26
- Richard G. Williams, Jr. said...
No one is harder on the Dems than me, but I would disagree with that as a blanket condemnation. As a political party, of course, I believe it is accurate to say that the Republicans are "friendlier" to veterans than the Democratic Party (at least in recent years).
That being said, there are many Democrat office holders that are just as supportive of our veterans as Republicans and many (Democrats), of course, have sons and daughters serving.
- 17 March, 2009 11:31
- cenantua said...
Webb is, of course, one of the examples of a Democrat who, as a veteran, has supported the veterans.
Then, on the other hand, you have Carter who was a veteran (a submariner no less!???!), but was hard on the military. The military draw-down during his time in office was horrible.
- 17 March, 2009 11:40
Mr. Williams, I stand corrected. There are a handful of democrats that support the military. The rest realize it is one of the few things that is keeping this country from becoming socialist. The Second Amendment and the Military scare them to death.

Frankly, I wouldn't go to Yahoo for the news. Here's a link to CNN's story on this (note that the Yahoo writer only spoke to the American Legion commander):
It's instructive to note that this was a proposal, only, and a *Democratic* Senator from Washington said that it would not pass the Senate.
- 17 March, 2009 18:50
- Richard G. Williams, Jr. said...
I trust Yahoo before I would trust CNN. A "proposal only" - so? Obama was serious about it. Thank God for the Democratic Senator who said the proposal was "dead on arrival."
That was really a no-brainer.
- 17 March, 2009 20:49
- James F. Epperson said...
It is entirely possible that Obama never knew of it. It looks like the idea was to achieve some cost savings by billing private insurance companies for some medical work. (Which I agree is a DOA Bad Idea if the problem being treated is service-related.) It is entirely possible that the idea was proposed and talked about w/o informing Obama. The President isn't involved in *every* policy decision at *every* level. Obviously I don't know, but to be frank, Obama is smart enough a politician to know that this kind of proposal is DOA.

"It is entirely possible that Obama never knew of it. It looks like the idea was to achieve some cost savings by billing private insurance companies for some medical work."
Right James. His teleprompter forgot to tell him.
- 18 March, 2009 10:30
Obama certainly knew about it when he met with VFW and American Legion leaders on Monday. He stated that he would continue the proposal unless vet groups came up with another way to get the money.
- 18 March, 2009 11:09
Yeah, I have another way to get the money... They are called Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and AIG! If that isnt enough, get funds from the estate of Bernie Mac!

Straddling the border with Argentina, the mighty Iguazu Falls is one of the most famous natural wonders on the South American continent. Composed of over 250 separate cascades and stretching for more than one and a half miles, it's an incredible spectacle, especially during the wet season when it swells with water. The area is clad with jungle and home to colourful butterflies and other animals so it's great for a scenic wander.

Recommended places to visit in Brazil
Famous for its raucous street parties and sizzling hot beaches, Brazil has plenty more beside from mighty waterfalls to fashionable cities and is a top holiday destination for urban dwellers and nature lovers alike. Take a look at our favourite picks to get you inspired:
CuritibaView on map
The chic, modern city of Curitiba is home to the rather futuristic-looking glass tube bus stations that revolutionised inner city transport in Brazil. The quality of life in this incredibly efficient city is second to none and has green areas in abundance, making it one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the entire country. Points of interest include the dazzling botanical gardens and crystal palace, and the Rua 24 Horas – a street where everything is open 24 hours a day.
Iguazu FallsView on map
The awe-inspiring Iguazu Falls, consisting of 275 cascades, sits on the border between Brazil and Argentina and is truly one of the most breathtaking sights in the world. The streams of water that tumble down the cliff sides are powerful and create heavy jet sprays, giving the entire area a misty and mysterious look. The region surrounding the falls is covered in thick rainforest, inhabited by all kinds of exotic wildlife, including ocelots and caymans.
Rio de JaneiroView on map
As the host of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, Rio de Janeiro has been in the public eye more than any other city so far this decade. With its world famous Copacabana beach and Christ the Redeemer looking out over the city, there is no end to the reasons why a visit to this magnificent city is a must, sporting events aside. Nestled between towering mountains, which offer some stunning views, it's a city with ample natural beauty to boot.
Sao PauloView on map
At first glance Sao Paulo might seem overwhelming with its towering skyscrapers and sprawling urban landscape, but this city is a melting pot of different cultures, each one contributing something to Sao Paulo's exciting atmosphere. There are endless dining options scattered throughout the area, including popular rodizio and the city is also home to some of the best museums in all of South America.

Care and Use: this mala is meant to be handled and worn gently around the neck, and should not be wrapped tightly around the wrist as this may cause it to break. Not waterproof!

Specifically, invitations to the media have been sent out, where it clearly shows a 9:30 AM June 6th unveiling. Peering into the invitation itself, we can infer quite a few juicy things – like the hint that we'll possibly see 3D view maps incorporated throughout it. In fact, the notion of it being unveiled is alluded in the angled shot of the photograph in the invitation.

Young Writers Project: A Chamber Of Music
| Download MP3
David Mercier of South Burlington says he wrote this piece while listening to String Quartet No. 4 - Mov. 5/5 (Béla Bartók). David is a sophomore at South Burlington High School.
A Chamber for Music
By David Mercier
Grade 10, South Burlington High School
The room in the barn where my teacher and I drill scales always strikes me as bare and cell-like. The decrepit ivory walls form a casket, jerking your attention to the exact middle of the room where there are some disfigured chairs from different parts of the building. A scrutiny of the rough walls reveals scuff marks and chipping paint near an oily clock and a mirror. The shrill tick grinds at my ears, seeming faster than normal, but it is not nearly as off-putting as the hulking missile the mirror is reflecting. It is a black effigy, straining at its bottom and slack at its top. A number of slick harnesses and shiny zippers augment its disturbing reflection. The effigy's ashen-colored accomplice lies on the dark gold floor, head resting on a diminutive rubbish bin. The bin is putrid, smelling of decomposing bananas and other rotten fruit. There is also the muffled buzz of fruit flies near the bin, though none are visible. Perhaps I am confusing it with the drone of the fluorescent light fusing with the harsh clock; I am not sharp in the fetid air, which leaves my mouth as dry as the gritty ceiling. The ceiling, like the walls, is shedding its paint. There are thin gray streaks on the ceiling and powder on the floor, both from the fallen plaster. The powder plugs the black punctures in the floor, and the effect is similar to the leftovers of a darts match that used a drill lathered in liquid chalk. Stepping on one of these punctures produces a bleached nebula around your foot that smells of ammonia. This powder coats a russet brown bass opposite the cased basses, whose shape is sinuous and elegant compared to the rest of the room.
My teacher enters with a flurry of activity. He is cursing to himself, something about a late-night gig at a stingy club. He looks like he had one. His usual uniform of patched black jeans and an unwashed button-down has new rips and stains, most likely from a brawl. Leaning against the wall, he picks at the dried blood on his knuckles. Sawdust smears the wall he is leaning on.
"What are you waiting for?" he growls at me. "Prepare, warm up, tune! Preparation is half the battle!"
His graveled accent jolts me into action. I hurry outside to my already uncovered bass, stick my bow in my quiver, and haul it back. He doesn't help me with the door.
"D Major scale, two octaves, now." His command is a whip. I hesitate, rebellious. We meet each other's gaze. He jerks his marred hand. Don't play this game with me. I surrender. During the second octave of the scale he stops me.
"What do you think you are doing?"
I stare blank-faced. I'd say I was playing, but he would sic his fists on me.
"That's right: you don't know. Do it over."
I repeat my scale and he stops me in the same place. He asks me what I am doing and I don't reply. After four times through this cycle, I crack.
"I'm playing! What the hell do you think I'm doing?"
A smirk splits his stony face, a fissure in granite.
"Finally," he says. "I thought I'd never get some emotion out of you."
My grip attempts to strangle my bow. Fifth-degree murder flits through my mind.
"What is this about?"
"Music is emotion," he says. "Learn to control it and let it guide you.
"Then you play."

http://imageshack.us/homepage/?user=wbsilver7I've been looking into some older cars that Im considering building on to become my own stage III eventually. I currently own a 2006 audi a4 2.0t quattro with automatic tiprtonic transmission. I am currently in college so the mileage will stay general the same, the only times it will go up is when i come home on breaks and if i don't sell it before school is over due to this car being my DD. It has 18" vmr v710's wrapped in continental extreme contact tires and 35% tints all around. It's black with black interior, debadged and has a premium package with heated front and rear seats, sunroof, ect. There are some scratches on the hood and trunk and the sun roof is in need of realignment which I can do before the car goes out. Besides that the car is almost flawless, drives smooth and handles great.
NEW!! SO the cam follower recently ruined my engine and thankfully this part was recalled on my model so the dealer installed a brand new 2.0t for free. This car now has less than 50 miles on the engine (tranny, ect. still has roughly 65,000) If anybody is now interested it would be a great vehicle to trade for. Let me know what you have for me and a better way to get in contact would be by cellphone (203 500 9840). And I also have all bilstein shocks and struts as well as sport springs, it is sitting flush with 5mm spacers in the rear and rides and handles amazingly.(two fingers between fender and tire) also I have gotten it flashed by apr and there is a full turbo back exhaust. The catback is billyboat and the test pipe is a catless eurocode. It sounds great! not too loud but defintely a noticeable difference from stock and the turbo spools up extra quick now with no back pressure whatsoever.
I also have the stock cat as well as the stock set of rims.
Looking for a3,a4, avant or mk4/mk5 gti or r32...other trades will be considered also.
Serious buyers only, looking for 15,000 OBO, will accept trade + $cash
You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for additional photos or comments/questions

Mein Auto: 535 I X DRIVE
View My Garage
The weather in Springfield, VA has been very pleasant last few days! Today we are expecting in the mid 60s. Where are you located now.
I bought the car from BMW of Alexandria. I know what you mean silver being the dullest color. While I wait for my new ride to arrive, the dealer provided me with a 2012 535i silver loaner. I had few dark color vehicles before but keeping them clean is a pain though they look beautiful. All my last four cars were silver - last three being 2007 TL Tech; 2008 RL Tech (didn't like TL's 1500 RPM vibration). In 2010 I was rear ended on a stop and go traffic on 395 while going to work. The lady who plowed on me when she passed out due to medical condition at about 50-55 mph. The 2008 RL was totaled. I was amazing how the car saved me. Except for a bad whiplash I didn't have any other injury but had to undergo physical therapy for 3 months. Bought 2010 RL because of the safety reason (first hand experience) but have not been satisfied with the ride - very poor gas mileage compared to 2008 RL. The agonizing torque converter and transmission Judder. The software was updated but didn't take care of the problem. I didn't have time and patience to deal with the dealer and Acura. Test drove several other cars but after test driving the 535i couldn't resist the urge to buy one.

Statins Interfere with Normal Brain Function
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
In the process of statins taking a sledgehammer to the core survival system in your liver, a building body of research is proving that statins directly lower important brain levels of cholesterol that are needed for normal nerve transmission1. Talk about robbing Peter to pay Paul. The longer you take a statin the less you will have to think about this problem, because you won't be able to think very well.
Lead researcher Yeon-Kyun Shin states ""If you try to lower the cholesterol by taking medicine that is attacking the machinery of cholesterol synthesis in the liver, that medicine goes to the brain too. And then it reduces the synthesis of cholesterol which is necessary in the brain. Our study shows there is a direct link between cholesterol and the neurotransmitter release. And we know exactly the molecular mechanics of what happens in the cells. Cholesterol changes the shape of the protein to stimulate thinking and memory."
The fact that statins can deactivate normal nerve transmission, and will do so gradually and progressively over time, is a major problem for anyone taking these medications. Nerves control everything else in your body, including your heart and circulatory system. Big Pharma and a legion of doctors are speeding the decline of health in millions of Americans.

At Least 20 Students Suspended, Because Of A Tweet
At least 20 high school students in Oregon were suspended over a tweet, and now there is controversy about the school's policy on free speech.
The students were suspended after retweeting a tweet about a staff member. The tweets were consideredcyberbullying.
The original post claimed that a female teacher at the school flirts with her students.
Now, parents, students and others in the community are wondering whether the school's punishment was appropriate or if it was an overreaction that violated the students' First Amendment rights.
A branch of the American Civil Liberties Union thinks the school was treating the students unfairly.

General responses to selected questions from Joel Braunstein, MD, of Johns Hopkins University and Joseph Toscano, MD.
My heart doctor said I get a stiff heart, resulting in liquid accumulating in my lungs. What is this and how is it to be treated?
It sounds like you may have something called "diastolic dysfunction." This describes a condition where the heart muscle becomes stiff. The stiffness prevents the heart from filling itself completely with blood with each heartbeat. The most common cause is high blood pressure, but other diseases can cause the same problem. The stiffness and decreased filling results in a decreased ability of the heart to pump blood to the body. Sometimes, when the heart is stressed, blood coming from the lungs into the left side of the heart gets backed-up. Once it gets backed-up, fluid from the blood leaks from the blood vessels into the lung air sacs causing "fluid in the lungs" or pulmonary edema. The same thing can happen in the legs, causing swelling of the feet, ankles, or lower legs. This overall process is sometimes referred to as "heart failure" or "congestive heart failure."
The treatment includes many kinds of medications to relax the heart muscle and decrease the amount of work it has to do. Some medications (called beta blockers) may actually decrease the stiffness of the heart muscle over time. Those who have problems with fluid build-up benefit from medications called diuretics, which make the kidneys urinate out extra fluid from the lungs or body. If you have high blood pressure, you should try to control this as much as possible with medication and lifestyle changes. This includes avoiding cigarettes, minimizing your salt and alcohol intake, getting regular aerobic exercise (after an OK from your doctor), and losing any excess body weight.

If no needs display below, there are currently no disasters in Utah where needs have overwhelmed the existing support systems in the communities. By giving responsibly, donors can provide the most beneficial support to survivors and to disaster relief efforts. Monetary contributions to trusted relief agencies already on the ground in affected areas ensure that people receive exactly what they need, when they need it. Cash donations allow relief agencies to purchase needed supplies that are fresh and familiar to survivors, and that are culturally, nutritionally and environmentally appropriate.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A few years ago, the award-winning poet Toi Derricotte read a collection of poems by Austin Peay State University alumnus Jeff Hardin, and she was immediately struck by the simple power and beauty of his words.
"Jeff Hardin is extremely sophisticated, mature and knows exactly what he is doing," she said.
Derricotte, a member of the Academy of American Poets' Board of Chancellors, recommended the unpublished manuscript to Jacar Press, and in 2012, the press released Hardin's newest collection of poems, "Notes for a Praise Book." At 8 p.m. on Feb. 6, both poets will visit APSU for a reading and book signing in the University's Morgan University Center Ballroom. The event is free and open to the public.
Derricotte is the author of five collections of poetry, including the Paterson Poetry Prize-winning "Tender." In 1997, W.W. Norton published her memoir, "The Black Notebooks," which won the Anisfield-Wolf Award for Non-Fiction and was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. She is a professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh.
Hardin graduated from APSU in 1990, and he went on to earn his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Alabama. In addition to "Notes for a Praise Book," he is the author of two chapbooks, "Deep in the Shallows" and "The Slow Hill Out," and the 2003 Nicolas Roerich Prize-winning collection "Fall Sanctuary." Hardin is a professor of English at Columbia State Community College.

Last Modified: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 2:56 p.m.
A 21-year-old Gainesville student was arrested Sunday on accusations he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl.
Tyrone Whetstone, 21, and the girl — who was an acquaintance — were both guests Sunday afternoon at the Gainesville home of the girl's mother's boyfriend, according to a report from the Gainesville Police Department.
Whetstone went into a bedroom to talk on the phone where four children, including the girl and her 10-year-old brother, were lying.
According to the report, Whetstone shoved one of the sleeping children to the other side of the bed and lay down next to the girl.
The girl said Whetstone touched her private areas and tried to have sex with her. She moved away from him, and he left the room, according to the report.
Whetstone was arrested about 5 p.m. at the house in the 200 block of Northeast First Street and taken to the Alachua County jail.
During a police interview, Whetstone first denied sexual contact with the girl and then admitted to it, police reported.
He was booked into the jail at 6:59 p.m. Sunday and charged with sexual assault of a victim 12 or older, a first-degree felony. He remained in the jail as of late Monday, with no bond set.

IDA's New President
In Defense of Animals (IDA) proudly welcomes Scotlund Haisley as our new President. IDA's Founder and only President to date, Dr. Elliot Katz, has been elected Chairman of the Board. [singlepic id=184 w=320 h=240 float=right]
"Scotlund Haisley has been a dynamic force in the animal protection world for more than 20 years, and brings an impressive variety of experience that will serve us well in his position as President of In Defense of Animals," said Dr. Katz. "Scotlund is the ideal individual to maximize IDA's efforts to become a more powerful voice and force for our animal friends, by ending the rampant mistreatment of animals, not only in the U.S., but around the world."
Most recently Haisley led the Humane Society of the United States Animal Rescue Team, and traveled the globe to rescue an unprecedented number of animals from puppy mills, dogfighting, hoarding, factory farming and natural disasters. He was the captain of humane law enforcement for the Washington DC Humane Society and the Peninsula Humane Society in the San Francisco Bay area. Haisley spent time in India creating policies and operating philosophies for animal welfare groups. He was also the shelter director for the Manhattan New York City Shelter.
While working as Executive Director at the Washington (DC) Animal Rescue League, Haisley designed and built an animal shelter unlike any in the world. The shelter, renowned for its calming and nurturing animal housing area, is recognized as a prototype for humane animal sheltering.
"I am honored to take on the role of President of In Defense of Animals, and look forward to building upon the solid foundation of excellence in animal rights that IDA has built over the past 25 years," said Haisley. "I believe that under my lead In Defense of Animals will bring comfort and salvation to an unprecedented number of animals around the globe."
Scotlund Haisley is also an accomplished artist, who often paints the scenes of cruelty he has witnessed and the animals he has rescued. By putting the images of suffering and salvation onto canvas Haisley is able to spread education and awareness of the suffering of animals. Haisley's family includes several animals, including a dog named Bergh, named for the pioneering 19th-century animal protector Henry Bergh.
IDA is thrilled to welcome Scotlund Haisley as our new President. Stay tuned to this space for Scotlund's first IDA blog, coming soon!

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Tennessee's three divers competed Tuesday at the NCAA Zone B Diving Championships at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.
Redshirt sophomore Mauricio Robles, who qualified for the NCAA final site Monday, continued his strong diving on the second day of the zone meet. He posted a 12-dive preliminary and final combined score of 742.75 to finish fourth in the 1-meter competition.
"Our attitude was he was going to get out there and dive, going against some really good divers he'll see at NCAAs," Tennessee diving coach Dave Parrington said. "It was a good opportunity for him to do that. We're going to do the same thing tomorrow."
Heading into Wednesday's platform competition to finish the meet, redshirt senior Tori Lamp and sophomore Samantha Lera have not yet secured positions in next week's NCAA field.
On Tuesday, Lamp finished 10th on the 3-meter springboard in 629.50, and Lera was 20th (275.20).
"In the women's three meter, Tori unfortunately missed her second dive," Parrington said. "It's been a little inconsistent for her all year. It put her in a big hole, but she climbed back and got within striking distance. It was disappointing there, but I liked her fight to get back in the contest.
"As for Sam, she also had a really solid competition except for one dive. We'll come back tomorrow."
Lamp is currently two spots away from qualifying on the priority list, thanks to her fifth-place finish on the 1-meter springboard Monday. A top-two finish on Wednesday's platform for Lamp or Lera would get them into the NCAA meet. A third-place performance might be good enough to qualify, depending on the performance of other divers.

Mom just now got on the computer to check her emails and lo and behold, I'm Catster's "Diary of the Day!" OMC! OMC! Thank mew so much, Catster HQ. This is the first honor I've received on Catster and I am so grateful for it. This is a momentous occasion indeed! Thank you so much to the kitties who have left gifties, sent friend requests, p-mailed me with their congratulations, and commented on my diary!
Specifically, thanks so much to Casey for the yummy shrimp and congratulations, Mercy for the pretty maple leaf and congratulations, Kallie and Joey for their friend request & congratulations, Samoa & Family for their friend request & congratulations, Angel Sam, KiKi, and Ember for their friend request & congratulations, Angel Buddie and Family for the sweet congratulations note they sent me, Lucy over at K.A.T. (Kappa Alpha Tau) for the lovely congratulations message, and Tinkerbell for the sweet comment she left on my diary! If I've forgotten anyone, I'm so sorry! Meowmy and I shall respond to the gifties, requests, p-mails, and comments ASAP!
Thanks also for the prayers for Reggie's return. Meowmy I appreciate your good wishes, congratulations, kindness, and generosity more than words can say! May God bless you all. We hope you are having a delightful Sunday at home with your families.
Congratulations to all of the other Diary Picks today, as well! Enjoy your day in the spotlight! >^-^<
Mom & I still can't believe I'm Diary of the Day. It warms Mom's heart to see my little Lynx Point face on Catster's homepage! We're so blessed! Thanks again, HQ! Purrhaps Mom will give me some extra luvvins and some turkey treats today.
Extra-Purry Hugs & Nudges Galore,
P.S. Thanks a million to the anonymous treat giver(s) who left me a bunch of treats on my page! The treats are so scrumptious, thank you! :D
Hello Dear Furiends,
First of all, let me wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! May you and your loving families have a beautiful, blessed, and safe Thanksgiving. We all certainly have a lot to be thankful for!
I'm thankful for many, many things, including all of you. I know I haven't been in touch with you recently, and I apawlogize. There's been a lot going on, which I will fill you in on in a minute. But first of all, I shall list 5 wonderful things I am thankful for:
1. All of you-my dear Catster Furiends! I am so thankful for this supurr Catster Community. Also, I am thankful that my Mom upgraded to Catster Plus because it's so much fun (for me and her)!
2. My loving Mom & family. I am so thankful I was adopted over 5 years ago (August of 2004) and given a loving furever home, where I am warm, cherished, adored, loved, and well-cared for. I wish with all of my furry little heart that all the kitties in shelters this Thanksgiving will soon come to know this wonderful feeling of having a loving, furever home. I really love my Mom 'cause she gives me kisses, talks to me, gives me luvs, takes care of me, and takes pics of me!
3. My yummy dry food & water that I eat and drink every day. My food & water gives me the energy I need to live! Sometimes, I get wet food and treats, too-I am a lucky kitty! And, best of all, I get to drink out of Rocco the fish's bowl without any reprimanding-that water is the best! It's so fishy-tasting!
4. My nudge-sessions with Mom and my other family members. I am thankful that they give me their heads to headbutt and that they pet me and say, "Aww, Nellie, what a sweet girl you are!" This makes my purr motor erupt, full-speed ahead!
5. My balcony visits. At my house, there are two balconies, one in the front and one in the back. Often, I am let out onto the back balcony to get some fresh air and look at nature. Mom makes sure to keep tabs on me while I'm out on the balcony, and it's a safe way to visit the outdoors, as I am confined to a specific place.
I have many more things to be thankful for, which I plan to list throughout the next few days. Meanwhile, let me briefly update you on what's been going on:
Most unfortunately, my brother Reggie has been missing for over a month (he went missing October 15th). My mom's heart is broken, as she misses him so much. He was such a loyal furry furiend to her, so handsome, so regal, so sweet, and so much more. Mom put up fliers around the neighborhood and has been in contact with the local animal shelter, but no sign of beloved Reggie. Mom's heart hurts, but she's beginning to accept that Reggie might not come back. Often, Mom will stop for a minute and be reminded of Reggie, and long for him to return.
Though it's a little hard for Mom to come onto Catster because Reggie's missing, she comes on for me and because she knows that all of you dear furiends will support us in this hard time of need. While Mom has updated my page considerably, she has left Reggie's the same as it was in early October, before he went missing. Mom will probably revise Reggie's page in a little while to add some pictures and make it a memory page (and give it a Christmas feel). It may be within the next few days that she'll update Reggie's page, or it may be within a week or so. Right now, she is still trying to come to terms with the loss of Reggie. (While we still hold onto the hope that Reggie could come back, we are trying to also accept the fact that we must move on and celebrate his life.) Thank you all for understanding. My page has been updated with pictures and captions and Thanksgiving cheer, and it will probably be updated within the next few days for Christmas.
Okay, so sorry that this has turned out this long!!!! I hope all of you dear furiends know that I love you all so very much, and I appreciate your furiendship. My Mom does, too.
Purry Thanksgiving Hugs and Nudges Galore,
Nellie & Mom
It's December 19th, meowmy. Less than one week 'til Christmas! And you JUST NOW decorate me and Reggie's pages? Sheesh! Oh well...I'll give you props for doing them...I guess it could be worse...we could have undecorated pages or you could have decorated them Christmas Eve...
Wishing all my Catster Furiends a Very Merry Christmas! For those of you who do not celebrate Christmas, Season's Greetings!
Purry Hugs, Some of My Famous Nudges, and Sweetness Galore!
P.S. Meowmy, Reggie, and I are so sorry for lacking in our Catster duties-with Christmas break here, meowmy should be able to get back on track! Reggie & I got a fresh supply of zealies from voting in the World's Coolest, too-thank you, Catster H.Q. Now we're raring to go to celebrate the holidays with our Catster furiends!

I need a little comfort....
I'd frozen 4 bags of stock from the Thanksgiving turkey. I grabbed one and added the usual suspects: carrots, potatoes, green beans, cabbage ribbons, corn, hot pepper rings, chunked turkey and some dried herbs. While that was simmering away...
I baked a loaf of my no-brainer ciabatta. Ahhh. There's no fragrance like fresh yeast bread.
Put them together and oh how all the cold weather seems to melt away. Mmmm-mmm.

Look yummy, Kris.ReplyDelete
I'm cold over here, too, it's 65...hehehe. Can't be cold to you, right?
Enjoy your soup.
I make a lot of soup in the winter, too. Yours looks delicious!! :o)ReplyDelete
Ha Xuan - hope you are all bundled up. ;-DReplyDelete
Tammy - soup is sooo good for the soul, no?
Delicious, the smell of home-made soup and fresh bread takes a lot of beating.ReplyDelete
I make soup a lot, too. I was going to make some bread, but I cut a little bit of the tip of a finger off last week. I should find a no knead recipe.ReplyDelete
There's nothing like a fresh pot of something simmering on the stove during a cold day.ReplyDelete
Sue - my bread IS a no knead recipe. Pop over to my Chef's Table blog and find the recipe there. Or you could go to Food Wishes and watch Chef John's video. Search for 'no knead Ciabatta'.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your notes, comments and questions and will try to reply to each one! :-)

FT-IR spectroscopy of fluoro-substituted hydroxyapatite: strengths and limitations
Rintoul, Llew, Wentrup-Byrne, Edeline, Suzuki, Shuko, & Grondahl, Lisbeth (2007) FT-IR spectroscopy of fluoro-substituted hydroxyapatite: strengths and limitations. Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 18(9), pp. 1701-1709.
|PDF (343kB)
Fluoro substituted hydroxyapatite (FHAp) samples were prepared by a cyclic pH method. Both calcined and uncalcined samples were subjected to elemental analysis (F, Ca, P) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to verify composition and phase purity. Good correlation between a-axis parameters and fluoride ion content was found for calcined samples, however, for uncalcined samples the fluoride ion content was higher than estimated from the a-axis values. Fourier transform infra red (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis of the calcined samples showed OH band shifts and splitting in accordance with F-HO interactions affecting the OH vibration. We conclude that the OH libration (620–780 cm-1 range) is more suited for estimation of fluoride ion content than the OH stretching. In contrast, uncalcined samples all displayed FT-IR spectra similar to that of hydroxyapatite (HAp) despite the presence of fluoride ions (18–73%). FT-IR emission spectroscopy was used to probe the changes occurring in the FT-IR spectra of HAp and FHAp samples upon heating. Interpretation of the spectral changes occurring during heating to 1,000 degrees Celsius and subsequent cooling is given. Room temperature spectra of samples heated to various temperatures was used to determine the temperature necessary to produce FT-IR spectra displaying the expected OH bands. A model accounting for the combined observations is proposed.

Encana posts smaller quarterly loss as costs fall
May 3 (Reuters) - Canadian oil and gas producer Encana Corp posted a smaller quarterly loss as cost cuts paid off.
The company's net loss decreased to $379 million in the first quarter ended March 31 from $1.71 billion a year earlier.
On a per-share basis, Encana posted an operating loss, which excludes most one-time items, of 15 cents, compared with a profit of 3 cents a year earlier. (Reporting by Anet Josline Pinto in Bengaluru; Editing by Savio D'Souza)

Man Shot in South Fairmount
(Cincinnati) -- Cincinnati police were called to the 1800 block of Fairmount Avenue in South Fairmont about 4 a.m. Sunday morning on the report of a shooting.
Investigators say they found one man shot in the leg and another assaulted. Both were taken to UC Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
No information about the shooting suspect has been released and no arrests have yet been made.
Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040.
