Mark Richt Named to AFCA Board of Trustees
Aug. 11, 2010
WACO, TEXAS -- University of Georgia Head Coach Mark Richt has been named to the Board of Trustees of the American Football Coaches Association. He was selected to fill the Football Bowl Subdivision District 4 position on the Board. District 4 is made up of Southeastern Conference (SEC) schools. Richt joins a group of distinguished head coaches who guide the organization. The Board formulates policy and provides direction for the AFCA.
"Grant Teaff asked if I would be interested in serving on the AFCA Board of Trustees, and I told him that I would be honored to serve our association," Richt said. "This is a great opportunity to serve the SEC and football coaches from around the country."
Other members of the AFCA Board of Trustees include 2010 AFCA President Larry Kehres of Mount Union College; first vice-president Rob Ash of Montana State University; second vice-president Tim Murphy of Harvard University and third vice-president Rich Rodriguez of the University of Michigan.
Also serving on the Board in 2010: Tommy Tuberville, Texas Tech University; Mike Welch, Ithaca College; Jim Tressel, Ohio State University; Mack Brown, University of Texas; Todd Berry, University of Louisiana-Monroe; Lee Owens, Ashland University; Jim Grobe, Wake Forest University; Bill Cronin, Georgetown College (Ky.); Lou Tepper, Indiana University (Pa.); Frank Solich, Ohio University; Randy Edsall, University of Connecticut; Turner Gill, University of Kansas; Mike Riley, Oregon State University; Gary Patterson, TCU; Pat Hill, Fresno State University; David Bailiff, Rice University; and Bobby Kennedy, University of Texas, ex officio member and chairman of the Assistant Coaches Committee.
"Coach Richt will be a great addition to our Board of Trustees," AFCA Executive Director Grant Teaff said. "I have known Mark for many years and watched his progress from a position coach, to a coordinator, to an outstanding head coach at the University of Georgia. Mark will do a great job representing football and football coaches in the SEC and across the nation."
Richt has an overall record of 90-27 (.769) in his nine seasons (2001-present) as the head coach at Georgia. He is one of only seven coaches in FBS history to reach 90 wins in his first nine seasons as a head coach. Richt guided the Bulldogs to two SEC titles in 2002 and 2005, making him one of only six coaches in SEC history to win two conference titles in his first five years in the conference. He was named SEC Coach of the Year in 2002 and 2005, and earned AFCA Regional Coach of the Year honors in 2002.
Georgia is 7-2 in bowl games under Richt. In 2009, the Bulldogs went 8-5 and beat Texas A&M in the Independance Bowl. In 2007, Richt led Georgia to an 11-2 overall mark, a victory in the Allstate Sugar Bowl and a final ranking of No. 3 in the USA Today Coaches' Poll. Georgia matched that No. 3 final ranking in 2002 when Richt led the Bulldogs to a 13-1 overall record and a win over Florida State in the Nokia Sugar Bowl.
Richt came to Georgia after spending 15 years on the staff at Florida State, the last seven as offensive coordinator. He was a graduate assistant at FSU from 1985-86, and a volunteer assistant from 1987-88 before he left to be offensive coordinator at East Carolina in 1989. Richt returned to FSU in 1990 and stayed until he took the Georgia position in 2001.
The AFCA was founded in 1922 and currently has more than 10,000 members around the world, ranging from the high school level to the professional ranks. According to its constitution, the AFCA was formed, in part, to "maintain the highest possible standards in football and the coaching profession" and to "provide a forum for the discussion and study of all matters pertaining to football and coaching."

Manufacturing Summit at NGTC
Local industries and school system officials meet with the Technical College System of Georgia and others to talk about the workforce in Georgia.
A meeting on that topic took place last week at North Georgia Technical College in Clarkesville and included representatives from Stephens, Franklin, and Habersham counties, among others.
Technical College System of Georgia Commissioner Ron Jackson was among those in attendance.
During the meeting, representatives of local industries talked about current workforce trends.
One thing Jackson said industries are telling him, not just here, but elsewhere, is that they need very skilled workers for certain positions.
Jackson said the industrial world is changing and it takes highly skilled and trained individuals to fill the manufacturing positions of today.
"The bottom line is that the workforce requires really skilled, smart people," said Jackson.
According to Jackson, industries are telling him that they have skills gaps and in some cases, can't find the workers they need.
Jackson said that it is important for the Technical College System of Georgia and local schools to hear from businesses and industries as to what exactly they need.
"(We need to know) what skills they need, where the skills gaps are, the positions and the types of positions where they cannot find people, so that we can get programs in place to train those people and get people that are out of work into work," said Jackson.
Jackson said it is equally important that the Technical College System continue to be an affordable option for those needing to go back to school to obtain those skills.
He noted that the state's decision to return the grade point average to 2.0 for HOPE eligibility is one of a number of things that is helping people go to school and get trained in these skills.

Free Wi-Fi service now available in more than 30 subway stations
Once limited to stations on the West Side, you can now find cell service and Wi-Fi in 36 Manhattan stations.
Thu Apr 25 2013
Commissioned and owned by Metropolitan Transportation Authority Arts for Transit, Photograph: Rob Wilson
The days of being able to use the excuse of "I was on the subway!" to justify missing an important text, call or e-mail will soon be over: Today, the MTA and Governor Cuomo announced that wireless service has been added to 30 subway stations, including crowded hubs such as 42nd St–Times Sq (pictured above) and 59th St–Columbus Circle.
Users will be able to make calls, text and access Wi-Fi thanks to the new service; officials emphasized that this could be useful in crises, when people may need to reach emergency personnel. (But we're mostly anticipating more people texting frantically between stations.)
You can find a full list of stations with cell and Wi-Fi service on Governor Cuomo's website, or browse them using our handy map, below.

Note: Over the past six years, Endowment has been the fastest growing component.
Grant Income does not include work study.
• The Strategic Plan and Budget are aligned
– The President and Provost direct resources to our strategic priorities.
– Deans and senior administrators develop budgets that support the underlying strategic plans.
• Our Immediate Challenges
– Sponsored Program Direct and Indirect revenue growth is slowing.
– Financial Aid continues to grow faster than the rate of increase in tuition, driven by greater need and more generous packages for undergraduates, and by higher stipends and health insurance for graduate students.
– Financial Aid is under-endowed requiring us to use unrestricted funds to meet financial need.
• Our Long Term Opportunities
– The strategic plan has identified term and financial aid endowment, faculty chair endowment, and investments in new and renovated academic buildings as top priorities.
• Our performance through the first half of the year is strong
Interim Provost Peter Conn then introduced Dr. Philip Nichols, faculty director of the College Houses, who gave a presentation on the College Houses. Dr. Conn saluted Dr. Nichols and the College House staff for "enriching the lives of the students." Next week's issue of Almanac will include highlights from Dr. Nichols' presentation as well as coverage of the remainder of the March Council meeting.
There was also a discussion of issues raised by the Report of the Committee on Pluralism concerning the United States Cultural Analysis Requirement (USCAR), followed by a discussion of issues raised by the Report of the Committee on Community Relations (Almanac March 15, 2005). President Gutmann applauded these discussions and noted that Penn cares about education—not only in the classroom but in the diverse environment. Penn has a higher percentage and a higher number of lower income students than its Ivy League peers.

Don't Allow Empire Building
When placed in management positions, these employees often hire more people into their respective work units than needed to help support their egos. Commonly referred to as "empire building" this is a tactic that simply cannot be allowed. Obviously adding employees that really aren't needed are a costly proposition. To avoid this practice, require managers to fully justify every position they request. Justification should come in the form of a formal request that includes a description of the position, the reasons the position is needed and an analysis of tasks required of the position with time estimates associated with the tasks. The supervisor of managers requesting additional positions should carefully scrutinize every request with an eye toward enhancing process efficiency first and careful assessment of the specific process tasks required. This will force managers to think in terms of breaking processes down into "jobs by allocating time requirements to all tasks.

The Monday Morning #ProCanes report will weed through all the NFL highlights and news to bring you the information you care about the most... what the former University of Miami Hurricanes did during the week prior. After a dominant Week 9 that saw #ProCanes rack up nearly 800 yards of offense and seven touchdowns, Hurricanes across the NFL had a tough act to follow Sunday. Veteran wide receiver Andre Johnson did his part, hauling in two touchdowns, while second-year linebacker Colin McCarthy and veteran safety Antrel Rolle put on dominant defensive performances for their respective teams.
Antrel Rolle (New York Giants) – 12 tackles, one sack
New York's play has been anything but consistent in 2013, but veteran safety Antrel Rolle has served as a pillar on defense for a team on the upswing. Rolle's 12-tackle game against Oakland, including a fourth-quarter sack of Raiders' quarterback Terrelle Pryor that forced a punt, guided the Giants to a 24-20 win. With his impressive showing, Rolle climbed into first place in tackles for the Giants with 53, and is now one of just three players on the team's defense with at least two sacks. The Homestead, Fla., native also leads the Giants in passes defended (six) and interceptions (three).
Video Highlights: Fourth-Quarter Sack
Andre Johnson (Houston Texans) – five catches, 37 yards, two touchdowns
After enjoying a career day last time out, Houston's 11th-year wideout once again proved why he remains among the league's elite with two eye-popping touchdowns in a disappointing defeat to Arizona. Johnson's incredible concentration on a tipped pass in the corner of the endzone brought the Texans within a field goal in the fourth quarter, while his first touchdown grab on the day – a remarkable extension and toe-tap – tied the game at 7-7 in the first quarter. The multi-touchdown performance marked the second straight for Johnson, who hauled in three touchdowns last week against Indianapolis. He now ranks fourth in NFL receiving yards with 850 this season.
Video Highlights: Concentration | Extension for the TD
Leonard Hankerson (Washington Redskins) – five catches, 61 yards
Washington's third-year wide receiver has made impressive progress in recent weeks, and enjoyed another strong outing in his team's disappointing 34-27 defeat. Hankerson hauled in five passes for the second consecutive week, and recorded his second-highest yardage output of the season with 61 yards. Hankerson has combined totals of 10 catches and 116 yards over the past two weeks, and ranks third on the Redskins with 29 receptions and 370 receiving yards this season. He is on track to surpass his career-best marks in receptions (38) and yards (543), both set in 2012.
Colin McCarthy (Tennessee Titans) – seven tackles, one forced fumble, one interception
Though Tennessee had little to brag about after Sunday's loss to previously winless Jacksonville, third-year linebacker Colin McCarthy had a strong performance in the middle of the Titans defense. McCarthy recorded his third career interception with little effort in the second quarter, as Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne rifled the ball straight into McCarthy's chest. He added seven tackles and a forced fumble, and now ranks seventh on the team in total tackles with 35.0 this season. McCarthy is three tackles away from surpassing his total in an injury-riddled 2012, and registered his 100th career tackle against the Jaguars.
Video Highlights: Third Career INT
TheUFootball.com #ProCanes Interview: Sean Spence
(interview conducted by Max Strauss)
HurricaneSports.com: Are there former Hurricanes teammates that you are still close with and speak with regularly? If so, who are they?
Sean Spence: "There are a bunch of guys. Brandon Harris, DeMarcus Van Dyke, Marcus Forston, Lamar Miller, Allen Bailey, Brandon Washington, all of us are still pretty close. Most of the guys that I came in with and that I left with, I still have great contact with them."
HS.com: What does it mean to be a part of #NFLU?
SS: "It means a lot. It just shows how many players that we have in the NFL, and what that program produces. I think we're in the top five for most players in the NFL. That means a lot and it just speaks volumes from the University about who comes from there."
HS.com: How do you think being a Miami Hurricane has prepared you for life in the NFL?
SS: "It made me super competitive. It made me disciplined. It made me account for doing the right things and that I was doing so at all times, no matter who was watching."
HS.com: Do you have any favorite memories from your time as a Hurricane?
SS: "It's hard. I had so many great ones with all my friends. It's hard to pick out one."

– Veteran DC journalist ROBERT PARRY on the necessity of a real liberal media
And in the second half of our program:
– The attempted overthrow of FDR in 1934
Journalist ROBERT PARRY has appeared on The Monitor a number of times. Monitor co-anchor Pokey Anderson discusses his article on using this moment in history to create a real liberal media. Parry writes:
"If America's media imbalance is to be corrected, progressives – both individuals and liberal foundations – must invest heavily in a media infrastructure that is national but focused on the news centers of Washington and New York…. Financial support is needed for the gutsy Web sites that stood up to Bush – like our own Consortiumnews.com – but money also should go to larger media institutions, which can then help publicize stories that are generated by the smaller outlets."
We also ask him about the decision by a federal judge this week to free five prisoners from Guantanamo. The judge is normally one of the most reliable Bush supporters.
Robert Parry is a veteran of Washington journalism, with a career spanning three decades. He broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek. Parry has won numerous awards including the George Polk Award for National Reporting in 1984, the Pultizer Prize finalist for National Reporting in 1985 and was a Emmy finalist for Best Explanatory Work on Breaking News in 1994.
His recent book is Neck Deep: The Disastrous Presidency of George W. Bush, by Robert Parry, Sam Parry and Nat Parry. He left mainstream journalism to start his own news service, Consortium News in 1995 because, as he writes, "I was distressed by the silliness and downright creepiness that had pervaded American journalism by the mid-1990s."

The attempted overthrow of FDR in 1934
Major General SMEDLEY BUTLER – hero
Smedley Butler, a celebrated Marine of the time, was called by Teddy Roosevelt "the finest fighting man in the armed forces." He won two Congressional Medals of Honor. After facing gunfire 120 times in his military career, General Butler saved his country AFTER he retired from the military.
Butler plays a heroic role in this 1934 story, by breaking up an attempted coup, financed by some of the leading industrialists of the era, from the DuPont, Pew and JP Morgan financial empires. They envisioned a half-a-million-man army, led by Butler, to force their coup against President FDR.
Monitor co-anchor Pokey Anderson researched this little-known story several years ago, and found an interview in the Pacifica Archives with the one person to have written a book about it, Jules Archer. Tonight you can hear parts of these archival interviews, recorded by Bob Debolt in 1987 and 1991, interspersed with Pokey's commentary based on additional research. One of the coup plotters told General Butler (according to Jules Archer):
"You know, the American people will swallow that [someone taking over for FDR]. We have got the newspapers. We will start a campaign that the President's health is failing. Everybody can tell that by looking at him, and the dumb American people will fall for it in a second."
Jules Archer's book was originally written in 1973. Copies were exceedingly rare, until it was finally reprinted in 2007, as The Plot to Seize the White House: The Shocking True Story of the Conspiracy to Overthrow FDR.
The Plot to Seize the White House: The Shocking True Story of the Conspiracy to Overthrow FDR, by Jules Archer
War is a Racket, by Smedley Butler
QUOTE hinting at why corporate interests were so upset with FDR. (Note: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, JP Morgan & Co. was the world's most powerful bank):
"In May 1933, U.S. Senate Banking Committee counsel Ferdinand Pecora exposed how [JP] Morgan reserved shares at reduced prices for certain clients, giving guaranteed profits to former President Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's sitting treasury secretary, the chairmen of the Republican and Democratic national committees, and the CEOs of General Electric, AT&T, and Standard Oil, among others. To curb these abuses, FDR signed the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, which prohibited commercial banks from underwriting securities, and the next year signed the Securities Exchange Act, which created the Securities and Exchange Commission to police Wall Street and prevent stock manipulation. … J.P. Morgan Jr. reportedly so loathed FDR that his grandchildren were told not to mention the president in his presence and Morgan's servants removed photos of FDR from the morning paper. " (Rogue Whale: Seventy years after FDR, JP Morgan finally got its revenge against banking regulations with its Chase merger. But a new FDR is watching," by Sam Natapoff, The American Prospect, March 1, 2004)

Second, we'll get an update on the crucial Mike Connell story, which could shed light on what happened to the votes in Ohio in 2004, as the totals winged across state lines to a partisan Republican server in Tennessee the night of the election. Connell has been ordered by a judge to testify tomorrow. The Monitor first reported on this story in April 2007.
Third, we'll investigate where all the DNC attorneys are, purportedly fighting for elections to be fair. Brad says they are behind the scenes — so far behind the scenes that he has little evidence of their activities in protecting our votes from the failures of electronic elections.

Hindus protest bin Laden film shoot in north India
CHANDIGARH, India (Reuters) - Hindu radicals in India protested on Friday against the shooting of a film by Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow on the hunt for Osama bin Laden on the grounds that the film-makers were portraying Pakistan on Indian soil.
Bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States was killed by U.S. special forces in Pakistan in May last year.
The film-makers, denied permission to film in Pakistan, converted parts of the Indian city of Chandigarh to look like the Pakistani city of Lahore.
But for right-wing Hindus, the use of India to portray sworn enemy Pakistan was too much.
"They have made Chandigarh like Pakistan, as if it is Pakistan," said Vijay Bhardwaj, a leader of the radical Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) Hindu group.
"We strongly oppose this and we will not let them put Pakistani flags here and we will not let them shoot for the film."
Billboards with Urdu signs were put up on shops in a market in the north Indian city and auto-rickshaws were running with Lahore number plates. Burqa-clad women and men dressed in traditional Pakistani clothes roamed the streets.
The small group of protesters shouted slogans and some of them were seen arguing with cast and crew members as police tried to intervene.
The protesters said the government should have denied permission to make the film on Indian soil. Continued...

"Bottom line: After entering the car in one SCCA event, Miller was left with a $7,000 bill for repairing two failed connecting rods and a blown turbocharger."
If this EVO was stock, how couldn't they cover it? I mean, in stock form, wouldn't the rods and turbo have to be defective to go this quickly?

Shocks... Pegs... Lucky.
Autoweek linkSo anyone have a copy of the form handy?For instance, even though Subaru pops for a one-year SCCA membership for every interested WRX buyer, and in its marketing materials appears to encourage owners to enter their cars in autocross events, the company says autocrossing is racing and racing can void warranty coverage. The WRX/SCCA application form says the SCCA looks forward to helping you fully experience the benefits of owning this car. But the form also includes a disclaimer that Subarus warranty excludes damage or failure resulting from participation in competition or racing events.
If the damage looks to be racing related, youre not going to be covered, says Subaru spokeswoman Larkin Hill. We dont want to punish the person who goes out once in a while and autocrossesand that shouldnt cause any problems with the car anyway. However, autocross is considered competition and the warranty does not cover abusive driving or competition. If youre out there racing every weekend, you cant expect us to fund it."

No, I want them to reform it. Reform how it's practiced. Who speaks on its behalf. And Islam has been on a warpath since day one. You can't blame George Bush for everything.
True, we can't. But we can partially blame unnecessary Western influence on Muslim countries.
Also, stop invoking the fallacy of incomplete evidence. Obviously you don't know the intentions of all one billion Muslims in the entire world, so stop trying to lump all of them together.
Maybe not all Nazis were anti-Semites, but the whole Nazi Party's goal was to eliminate the Jews and form the Third Reich.
The same cannot be said for all Muslims and the desire for Sharia law to become the law of the land. Wahhabism, one of the more fundamental portions of Islam, is but one sect.

So no "I'm sorry" from Nick Clegg in the sex pest row.
He apologised for tuition fees, but not for his role in investigating, or failing to investigate, these awful charges.
He has woken up terribly late to the political threat posed by women who say they were molested by one of the Lib Dems' most senior figures.
Lord Rennard, it must be stressed, disputes the claims.
But the four-year-old Facebook posting, "I just don't know how Nick can know and not do anything", demands a fuller explanation. What he was told, and then did, in 2008 is a toxic charge for a Deputy PM with a squeaky-clean family image.
The Lib Dems' attempt last week to insulate Clegg and set up an internal inquiry smacked of a bid to sweep the controversy back under a carpet.
It's been blindingly obvious since the US Watergate scandal that any hint of a cover-up can be more dangerous than the original crime.
Lib Dem Chris Huhne, facing jail after repeatedly denying he dodged speeding points, is proof of that. Clegg has only himself to blame after the blanket Rennard denial.
If he only knew about "non-specific" allegations, how could he know they were "wholly unacceptable"? It could cost him the by-election in Eastleigh, where the Lib Dems looked poised to hold Huhne's old seat.
The party preaches fairness and presents itself as the cuddly political force.
It may like animals and cherish the environment, but Clegg should be ashamed that Lib Dem women feel they were mistreated twice. First when they claim they were molested. And then when they felt ignored.
By men like Nick Clegg.

In this story for NPR's new Day to Day news program, CIR associate reporter Rebecca Perl examines the state laws that prevent felons and ex-felons from voting in elections, sometimes for life. As a result, nationwide, one in eight black men are barred from voting - in some states it's one in three. This story, a result of Perl's reporting for "Whose Vote Counts?," an hour-long CIR and American RadioWorks co-production airing on NPR stations nationwide in November, focuses on two former felons in New York, both working to restore the right of felons to vote.

Yeast is commonly found in the area around the vagina. And on occasion, an overgrowth can occur and cause a yeast infection. Several factors contribute to yeast infections. However, the risk of a yeast infection increases when taking antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Sufferers tend to deal with itchiness, tenderness and inflammation. However, there are ways to prevent a yeast infection when taking Amoxicllin.
Things You'll Need
- Yogurt
- Garlic
- Cranberry juice
Choose loose-fitting attire. Wearing tight jeans and pantyhose increases your risk of developing a yeast infection while taking an antibiotic. To lower your risk, wear loose-fitting clothes and cotton underwear.
Eat plenty of yogurt. The ingredients in yogurt effectively kill the fungus that causes a yeast infection. Eat yogurt for breakfast or a snack to prevent a yeast infection. If you detect the early symptoms of a yeast infection, apply the yogurt to the area around the vagina.
Buy garlic clove or supplements. Garlic is another anti-fungal ingredient that destroys the fungus that causes a yeast infection. While taking Amoxicillin, talk to your doctor about taking a garlic supplement to prevent a yeast infection, or eat a garlic clove once a day.
Drink plenty of cranberry juice. Cranberries contribute to urinary and vaginal health. To prevent a yeast infection, eat fresh cranberries or drink cranberry juice while taking Amoxicillin.
Stay away from scented vaginal products. Scented douches, soaps or shower gels can irritate the vaginal area and increase your chances of developing a yeast infection when taking Amoxicillin or other antibiotics. Cleanse the area with hot water, or use hypo-allergenic, non-scented soap.

Publication Acceptance Date: 10/12/2008
Publication Date: 1/1/2009
Citation: Hakk, H., Huwe, J.K., Larsen, G.L. 2009. Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) Study with 2,2',4,4',5,6' Hexabromodiphenyl Ether (BDE 154) in Male Sprague-Dawley Rats. Xenobiotica. 39:46-56. Interpretive Summary: The polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs)are among the most abundant brominated flame retardants in use. Furthermore, a particular subset of five PBDEs are known to be environmentally persistent, among which is 2,2',4,4',5,6'-hexabromodiphenyl ether, i.e. BDE-154. The purpose of this study was to measure the metabolic behavior of radiolabeled [14C]BDE-154 in male rats for 3 days. Intestinal absorption was calculated to be approximately 77% of the administered dose. Of this value, 31% was found in tissues of the carcass at 72h and 24% was extractable and non-extractable metabolites in the feces, and about 1% was excreted in the urine. BDE-154 was not readily excreted in the bile (1.3%). The largest portion of the BDE-154 dose was detected in the carcass, GI tract, adipose tissue and liver. Further fractionation of the carcass revealed approximately half of the radioactivity deposited in the skin. When the tissue data is expressed on a concentration basis, the lipophilic tissues had the highest concentration of BDE-154, i.e. adrenals, adipose tissue, GI tract, skin, and liver, although the dose could be found in every tissue sampled. Extractable fecal metabolites were identified by mass spectrometry and indicated hydroxylation and debromination were the only characteristic pathways of rat metabolism of BDE-154. Conjugated metabolites in urine and bile were suspected to be members of the mercapturic acid pathway. Non-extractable fecal metabolites were hypothesized to be the result of metabolism and binding to protein and/or lipid in the feces, therefore, a considerably higher overall metabolism of BDE-154 was suggested when also considering the non-extractable fecal data than from the urine, bile and extractable fecal metabolite data alone.
Technical Abstract: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs)are among the most abundant brominated flame retardants in use in many consumer products. A particular subset of five PBDEs are known to be environmentally persistent, i.e. BDE-47, -99, -100, 153, and -154. Mammalian ADME studies have already been performed for BDE-47, -99, and -100. The purpose of this study was to determine the metabolic behavior of radiolabeled [14C]BDE-154 in conventional and bile-duct cannulated male rats for 3 days. Seventy-one percent of a BDE-154 dose was absorbed at 72hr, and preferentially deposited in the residual carcass (24%), skin (13%), GI tract (3.8%), and epididymal fat (1.8%), although it was detected in every tissue sampled. When the tissue data was expressed on a concentration basis, the lipophilic tissues had the highest concentration of BDE-154, i.e. adrenal gland (30 nmol/g fresh weight),adipose tissue (22), GI tract (18), skin (8), and liver (6). Low excretion to water-soluble metabolites was observed, i.e. 1% of the dose was excreted via the urine, and approximately 1.3% was excreted in the bile after 3 days. Glucuronide and sulfate conjugates were not present in urine and bile, therefore, mercapturic acid pathway metabolites were suspected. Fecal excretion was the major route of elimination (62% at 3 days), and it contained a high level of non-extractable BDE-154 residues (26-42% of daily fecal content). Metabolites identified in the extractable portion of the feces were monohydroxylated, monohydroxylated with an accompanying loss of a bromine, dihydroxylated with an accompanying loss of two bromines. The non-extractable fecal radioactivity was hypothesized to form via metabolic activation followed by covalent binding to proteins and/or lipids. A comparison with other PBDE results demonstrated the importance of conducting individual metabolism studies with PBDEs.

The simple explanation:
Once you find a company that seems to offer what you need, take some time to familiarize yourself with their copayment and deductibles. Just like with any insurance, lower deductibles often translate into higher premiums and you must way present costs against future claims. Most people prefer to take out a higher deductible to keep the monthly premiums low, but your situation might call for a hedge against higher future expenses

One Intersection of Moore Circle Along Hwy. 17 Closing Today
A Stephens County intersection along the Highway 17 construction zone will close starting today as part of that Highway 17 widening project.
Georgia Department of Transportation Spokesperson Teri Pope said the Oggs Branch end of Moore Circle will close at its intersection with Highway 17 today.
"State Route 17, the new road, is going to be raised by about four feet from where the existing road is now," said Pope. "Every intersection along State Route 17 is going to have to be changed."
Pope went on to say that the DOT hopes that closing the intersection will not have a huge impact on traffic using Moore Circle.
"The great thing about Moore Circle is that the other end of the road opens on to 17, so it will be really easy for everybody to just use one end," said Pope.
There is no word on how long the intersection will remain closed.
All of this work is part of turning Highway 17 into a four lane road between Toccoa and the Stephens/Franklin County line.
The whole project is scheduled to be done in the Spring of 2016.

thanks for uploading the maps but i have one question, why when i connect my USB content of avic (IGO) the sync tools shows there is map update to 2015 Q2 and i see here 2015 Q3?
i understand that but why the original maps are showing older version than here (site), i mean why original maps are behind with updates?
Every time i copy files to my usb stick and connect it to my avic, my device ask to rebuild my usb stick and delete the file or folder i made... does anyone knows that issue?
I think it prepares the USB stick for the update to be done on site by Pioneer software.

Just Like Bogie and Bergman
Is there anything more romantic than Rick telling Ilsa, the love of his life, to get on the plane at the end of Casablanca? Maybe the part where he holds his hands in his heads and says, "Of all the gin joints in all the world, she walks into mine." Directed by Michael Curtiz and released as America entered World War II, Casablanca centers on the of former lovers Rick and Ilsa, played by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman who still love each other despite her noble husband and the word war that is raging all around them. No one expected much out of the movie when it was initially released in 1942, but it's counted one of the greatest films ever made and turned Bogie into a sex symbol. If you're looking for something romantic to do with your honey on the big V-Day, head on over to Lakewood Theater, 1825 Abrams Rd, Dallas. Start the night off by taking a few turns on the dance floor to the music of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Nat King Cole as performed by local favorite Ricki Derek, before settling in to see one of the most romantic movies ever. Starts at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 to $30. Call 214-821-7469 or visit lakewoodtheater.com.

evans creek update
was up there today with the new FS guy. There is no snow at all OK maybe an inch at the log pile on the 519 (see pic). Very few blowdowns but take a saw. The contractor will be starting very soon on resuming work at the campground so PLEASE stay OUT of the new road areas. any rutting will only dely work and eat up precious money. The FS is pushing hard to finish the campground improvements this year so there will be several work party's in may and june. They are looking for a ribbon cutting by July 4th. We are getting more and bigger campsites with new tables and fire pits and hopefully people will respect the improvements a lot more than they have in the past just this winter the entry sign was vandalized and someone blew a big hole in the shelter roof. These repairs cost money and waste valuable resources so please educate people when you see them destroying your park. The new ranger jumped in with both feet today (see pic) to open up a drainage. We believe he's going to be good to work with. Jim

After orthodontic treatment, I am now wearing Essix retainers. I have to get Dental crowns for two of my molars.
I am stressed about not being able to wear my retainer, because the time lapse between preparing the tooth and receiving the permanent crown is around three weeks, during which the shape of my molar is altered.
How can I approach this issue? How can I get dental treatment while wearing retainers?

Logan • Down by three to UNLV, the Aggies badly needed an offensive playmaker to lead a scoring drive.
That Saturday night, Utah State went with the best they had: a 5-foot-7 receiver who stepped in as a wildcat quarterback, and kept relentlessly squirming through holes until he reached the end zone.
Jojo Natson ended up helping the Aggies win the game. But it was far from a desperate move. The coaching staff has long seen the Florida native's potential as a playmaker, but lately he's started to repay that faith.
"It's something I wish I could've started off more in the beginning of the season," Natson said. "But as the season went by, I gained a lot of confidence. I guess I got to show what I really can do."
In the past few weeks, Natson has seen more time as a running back and change-of-pace quarterback in an effort to get the ball into his hands more often. Sorely in need of an extra ground threat since Chuckie Keeton's season-ending injury, Natson seems to be filling that role lately. He had eight rushes for 61 yards and two scores against the Rebels, and the running role is in addition to the 45 catches he's made already this year.
In turn, it's helped boost the energy of the Aggies' second-year slot receiver. With the ability to make plays after the catch, on the run, or in the punt return game, teammates and coaches said Natson has been enthusiastic as ever in practice and games.
"The more we give him, he loves it," receivers coach Jovon Bouknight said. "He loves the fact that we're utilizing him in many different ways. He wants more and more. We're going to give him as much as he can handle."
Natson has always asked for more responsibility dating back to his high school years. He played receiver and scatback, but as he describes it, his role was simpler: "Just give me the ball and I'll make a play any way I can."
In Florida, one of the most talent-rich football states in the land, Natson didn't have the physical attributes that many top prospects can boast. At just 151 points, he could be mistaken for the ball boy if he wasn't wearing a uniform on the sideline.
But Bouknight was drawn in by Natson's highlight tape, which showed a extra large-sized competitive spirit.
"He's been a guy who's been told, 'You might not make it to the next level. You're too small to do it,'" Bouknight said. "He's a little guy who plays big. You watch the highlight tape, he's going across the midfield making catches against the bigger, faster guys. He's done it against the best."
It hasn't been all smooth translating that talent to the field. Natson has averaged only 7.2 yards per catch, and didn't have a touchdown catch to his credit until getting one against Hawaii. He also dealt with a leg injury during the season that slowed him down a step or two.
But there is a sense on the team that the more he touches the ball, the more good things will happen. The last few games are just evidence things are going that way for Natson.
"Jojo [can make plays] with his athleticism and ability to make people miss in space," teammate Travis Van Leeuwen said. "I think the way we're using him now fits his talents very well. And I think he'll continue to have a breakout season, as well, when we game plan for other defense."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I tend to like shorter boards because it's easier to maneuver around. Yes, you may give up some stability at higher speeds (e.g. flying down the mountain) but that's a sacrifice that I'm willing to take because I'm not really doing 35-40mph.
The only way is to find out what your preference is. I know guys that ride around on a 151 and they are too heavy for it as well as guys riding around on 159 but according to the charts, its too big.
It's all about personal preference. I personally would go with the 153..
|i would go with the 156 if i were you, obviously the 153 is going to be better in the park, but its not like the 156 is not going to be either. the 156 is going to hold up better on the groomers and in the pow and will be considerably less chatery at speed, but still be small enough to throw around as you wish. also the rome mod rocker is not considered to be a jib board. my personal prefference for a jib board is a shorter board like a 153 or 154 so if you are going to be hitting some kickers and doubles and learning to 180 or 360 in the park and going for the occasional jib the 156 is a better option in my eyes, the stability of the 156 is going to be nice have aswell. bottom line is that it always comes down to personal prefference and trial and error. hope this helps!
Board Size Advise (Size matters :) )
I'm trying to decide on the size of my board. I'm about to buy the Rome Mod Rocker and I need to chose between 153 and 156.
My hight is 172cm and weight is 70kg and wearing shoe size of 9.5 . I'm 34 year old and I'm not a beginner but also far away from being an expert.
I usually ride it all mountain. Slops, Powder, Park...Lately I have been spending some more time at the park and I'm currently trying to learn 180 Jump.
I'm not that good yet at fakey so I'm still improving that as well.
I do love powder days as well...
Any recommendation on what to chose would be most appreciate.
Thanks, Eli

Taurus draws on the myth of Io, the nymph who was turned into a snow-white cow.
He shook it hard with his little bill; when down fell a shower of seeds, and there was dinner all ready on a snow-white cloth.
Purple was on the mountains, and all in the valley lay the snow-white mist.
In the winter snow-white lighted the fire, and put the kettle on, after scouring it, so that it resembled gold in brightness.
Yes, a common Rabbit all right, but it was a snow-white one.
Ann, interpretative, dressed her in snow-white tulle with here and there a glint of silver.
These are not as good as your grandmother's snow-white eggs.
But now the fierce Lucagus approached in a chariot drawn by two snow-white coursers.
The base of this wall was lost in snow-white billows of spray and mist.
One of the women was distinctly handsome, with noble features closely framed by a snow-white kerchief.

The parents of accused Tucson gunman Jared Loughner are described by a neighbor as "devastated" by the allegations that their son shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed six people in a weekend rampage outside a local grocery.
Neighbor Wayne Smith, who has been bringing the mail to Randy and Amy Loughner while they stayed behind closed doors in their modest Tucson home, spoke to several news outlets on Monday.
Smith tells KPHO TV that Loughner's mother has been in bed, crying non-stop since Saturday. "It's really bad right now," he says.
"They're devastated, and they feel guilty for what happened," Smith tells the TV station. "They want to know, where did they fail? I told them they didn't fail, they taught him everything about right and wrong. We all know you can teach someone everything and have no control how it works out."
Smith says he is perhaps the family's closest friend on the block, yet he didn't even know their last name until after the shootings.
He says he broke the news to the Loughners about their son when they returned home Saturday to find sheriff's cars out front and officers putting up crime scene tape.
"She almost passed out right there," Smith says, according to The Wall Street Journal. "He sat in the road with the tape up and cried."
He says the Loughners asked him to relay their feelings and that they will likely issue a statement later.
As to why their son allegedly opened fire on Giffords and the crowd waiting to see her on Saturday, Smith tells KVOA: "They have no idea. They're as blind on it as we are."

Not long ago I shared some info about WebGL and how specifically Chromium and Google Chrome were going to implement it so that we could start to enjoy some cool web 3D rendering. Firefox and Safari are also starting to support WebGL, but the good news is that the newer Google Chrome and Chromium versions have this support enabled by default, no need to start the application with any specific flag.
Click on image to enlarge
CHROME EXPERIMENTS is a very nice source to get a feel of groundbreaking web technology as it is continuously evolving. HTML5 stuff, CSS3 demos, some Javascript tests and of course, WebGL experiments are some of the things you may find in this site. One of the most mature and perhaps useful (I can see this take over the current Google images interface any time) experiments is the Picture Wall. I recorded a short video (with an excerpt from one of my songs as soundtrack!) to show how the whole thing works, it's pretty impressive!
Most of you probably heard about the Google Body Browser already. In case you haven't I recommend giving it a go, it's a lot of fun (and quite educational)!
Click on image to enlarge
As you may see in some of these screenshots, the machine I ran these experiments on is on anything but powerful 3D rendering hardware. Having said so, some of these experiments can truly put your hardware to the test as they start to add more and more objects to render. The Field experiment below is a good example of that.
Click on image to enlarge
Probably the most famous experiment, certainly the one that Google has used the most in their presentations, is The Fish Tank. You can modify how many fishes are to be rendered, change the camera view, etc.
Click on image to enlarge
If you have not already, I recommend you take a quick tour through the Chrome Experiments website and enjoy some of those examples. I am sure you will find something that will make you smile in awe.
