By Mark Heywood, Director of the AIDS Law Project
Last week the great and good of the South African private health industry and the national Health Department gathered for four days at Sun City to deliberate on the future of health care and the proposed system of National Health Insurance (NHI). They started their conference with a golf day and ended with a banquet, dress: 'black tie or traditional'. Whilst the pro- and not-so-sure NHI'ers differed on the conference floor, they mixed easily on the dance floor.
Intense debates about the future health system took place, with much sound and fury about equality in access to health care services. But, an unfolding health crisis in the Free State was neither noticed nor discussed.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), one of the world's largest pharmaceutical developers, and Aspen Pharmacare, South Africa's largest generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, intend to merge their South African operations. As part of the merger, most of GSK's South African operations will become part of Aspen. GSK will purchase 16% of Aspen's shares and become the company's single-largest shareholder.
Following submissions and correspondence from the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research (CAPRISA) and the Southern African HIV Clinicians Society (SAHCS), assisted by the AIDS Law Project (ALP), the Competition Commission has approved the merger subject to conditions to secure generic competition of the drug abacavir.

Asthma - childrenPediatric asthma; Asthma - pediatric
Asthma is a disease that causes the airways to swell and get narrow.
Asthma is caused by swelling in the airways. During an asthma attack, the muscles surrounding the airways tighten. The lining of the air passages swells. Less air is able to pass through as a result.
Asthma is often seen in children. It is a leading cause of missed school days and hospital visits for children. An allergic reaction is a key part of asthma in children. Asthma and allergies often occur together.
Some things that can bring on asthma symptoms (triggers) include:
- Animals (hair or dander)
- Dust, mold, and pollen
- Aspirin and other medicines
- Cold air, such as changes in weather (most often cold weather)
- Chemicals in the air or in food
- Tobacco smoke
- Exercise
- Strong emotions
- Viral infections, such as the common cold
Breathing problems are common. They can include:
- Shortness of breath
- Feeling out of breath
- Gasping for air
- Trouble breathing out (exhaling)
- Breathing faster than normal
When the child is having a hard time breathing, the skin of the chest and neck may suck inward.
Other symptoms of asthma in children include:
- Coughing that sometimes wakes the child up at night (it may be the only symptom)
- Dark bags under the eyes
- Feeling tired
- Irritability
- Tightness in the chest
- A whistling sound made when breathing (wheezing). You may notice it more when the child breathes out.
Your child's asthma symptoms may vary. Symptoms may appear often or else develop only when triggers are present. Some children are more likely to have asthma symptoms at night.
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will to listen to the child's lungs. The health care provider may be able to hear asthma sounds. However, lung sounds are often normal when the child is not having an asthma episode.
The health care provider will have the child breathe into a device called a peak flow meter. Peak flow meters can tell how well the child can blow air out of the lungs. If the airways are narrow due to asthma, peak flow values drop.
You and your child will learn to measure peak flow at home.
Tests may include:
- Allergy testing
- Chest x-ray
- Eosinophil count (a type of white blood cell)
- Lung function tests
You and your child's doctors should work together as a team to create and carry out an asthma action plan.
This plan will tell you how to:
- Avoid asthma triggers
- Monitor symptoms
- Measure peak flow
- Take medicines
The plan should also tell you when to call the nurse or doctor. It's important to know what questions to ask your child's doctor.
Children with asthma need a lot of support at school.
- Give the school staff your asthma action plan so they know how to take care of your child's asthma.
- Find out how to let your child take medicine during school hours. (You may need to sign a consent form.)
- Having asthma does not mean your child cannot exercise. Coaches, gym teachers, and your child should know what to do if your child has asthma symptoms caused by exercise.
There are two basic kinds of medicine used to treat asthma.
Long-term control drugs are taken every day to prevent asthma symptoms. Your child should take these medicines even if no symptoms are present. Some children may need more than one long-term control medicine.
Types of long-term control medicines include:
- Inhaled steroids (these are usually the first choice of treatment)
- Long-acting bronchodilators (these are almost always used with inhaled steroids)
- Leukotriene inhibitors
- Cromolyn sodium
Quick relief or rescue asthma drugs work fast to control asthma symptoms.
- Children take them when they are coughing, wheezing, having trouble breathing, or having an asthma attack.
- Examples of quick relief medicines include Proventil, Ventolin, and Xopenex.
Some of your child's asthma medicines can be taken using an inhaler.
- Children who use an inhaler should use a "spacer" device. This helps them to get the medicine into the lungs properly.
- If your child uses the inhaler wrong way, less medicine gets into the lungs. Have your health care provider show your child how to correctly use an inhaler.
- Younger children can use a nebulizer instead of an inhaler to take their medicine. A nebulizer turns asthma medicine into a mist.
It is important to know what things make your child's asthma worse. These are called asthma "triggers." Avoiding them is the first step toward helping your child feeling better.
Keep pets outdoors, or at least away from the child's bedroom.
No one should smoke in a house or around a child with asthma.
- Getting rid of tobacco smoke in the home is the single most important thing a family can do to help a child with asthma.
- Smoking outside the house is not enough. Family members and visitors who smoke carry the smoke inside on their clothes and hair. This can trigger asthma symptoms.
- Do not use indoor fireplaces.
Keep the house clean. Keep food in containers and out of bedrooms. This helps reduce the possibility of cockroaches, which can trigger asthma attacks. Cleaning products in the home should be unscented.
Checking "peak flow" is one of the best ways to control asthma. It can help you keep your child's asthma from getting worse. Asthma attacks do NOT usually come on without warning.
Children under age 5 may not be able to use a peak flow meter well enough for it be helpful. However, a child should start using the peak flow meter at a young age to get used to it. An adult should always watch for a child's asthma symptoms.
What should be in an asthma management plan?
What medicines you take and when
A list of your asthma triggers and how to avoid them
How to tell when your asthma is getting worse
When to call your doctor or go to the emergency room
All of the above
Everyone with asthma, including children, should have an asthma action plan.
Your child with asthma needs support at school. You can help by:
Making sure school staff have the child's asthma action plan
Making sure your child has a place to go to get away from asthma triggers
Making sure the staff know and can treat asthma symptoms caused by exercise
Making sure your child is allowed to use his or her asthma medicines at school
Not allowing your child to play with other children
A, B, C and D
The green zone on your asthma management plan means you are:
Allergic to grass
Doing well
Feeling ill
Your asthma has gotten worse. Your asthma action plan says you're now in:
The yellow zone
The black zone
The Twilight Zone
Which of these is a sign you're in the red zone?
Your quick-relief medicines aren't helping.
You have severe shortness of breath.
After 24 hours in the yellow zone, your symptoms are the same or worse.
All of the above
A big part of managing asthma is staying away from your asthma triggers.
If you think your asthma action plan isn't working, you should:
Give it more time
Tell your doctor right away
Use someone else's
To control your asthma, you can't be physically active.
Most people with asthma can manage their symptoms by following their asthma action plans and:
Having regular asthma checkups
Never leaving home without a mask
Avoiding crowds
Outlook (Prognosis)
With proper treatment, most children with asthma can live a normal life. When asthma is not well controlled, it can lead to missed school, problems playing sports, missed work for parents, and many visits to the doctor's office and emergency room.
Asthma symptoms often lessen or go away completely as the child gets older. Asthma that is not well controlled can lead to lasting lung problems.
Rarely, asthma can be a life-threatening disease. Families need to work closely with their health care professionals to develop a plan to care for a child with asthma.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you think your child has new symptoms of asthma. If your child has been diagnosed with asthma, call the doctor:
- After an emergency room visit
- When peak flow numbers have been getting lower
- When symptoms are more frequent and more severe even though your child is following the asthma action plan
If your child is having trouble breathing or having an asthma attack, get medical help right away.
Emergency symptoms include:
- Difficulty breathing
- Bluish color to the lips and face
- Severe anxiety due to shortness of breath
- Rapid pulse
- Sweating
- Decreased level of alertness, such as severe drowsiness or confusion
A child who is having a severe asthma attack may need to stay in the hospital and get oxygen and medicines through a vein (intravenous line or IV).

African American Blacksmiths in Kentucky
Start Year : 1880
A discussion of the number of African American blacksmiths in the U.S. can be found in the Negroes in the United States (1904), by W. E. B. DuBois, pp. 63-64 [available full-text at Google Book Search]. DuBois noted that there were 10,988 African American blacksmiths in 1890; the numbers had decreased to 10,100 by the year 1900. The total was moving toward that of 1880 when the U.S. Federal Census listed 8,130 African American blacksmiths, of which 642 had been born in Kentucky and 521 lived in Kentucky.
Subjects: Blacksmiths
Geographic Region: Kentucky
Anderson, Sandford Woodford and Polly Ann
Sanford Anderson, Sr. (b.1836) was born in Kentucky, the son of a slave woman and her white master named Woodford. His mother was sold after he was born, and Anderson was given his freedom and his father's last name. When he was a young man, Sanford left his father's plantation and went to work on the Anderson farm; he then took the name Anderson as his last name. He married a slave named Polly Ann (b.1842) and established a blacksmith business. The family moved to [Springheld] Springfield, Ohio, in 1877 and Anderson supported his family with his new blacksmith business. In the 1880 U.S. Federal Census, the couple is listed with nine children, and all living in the Mad River District in Ohio. Dorothy Evans Bacon was the great-granddaughter of Sanford and Polly Anderson. Highlights of the Anderson family history can be found in the article "The Bacons: a fighting spirit on the color line," Newsweek, Special: Fiftieth Anniversary Issue, vol.101, issue 10, February, 1983, pp. 33-34, 36. The article includes a photo of Dorothy Evans [Bacon] and her parents.

Ballard, John and Amanda
John (1830-1905) and Amanda Ballard (b. 1840-died before 1900) were the first African Americans to settle in the hills above Malibu; the site, Negrohead Mountain [a refined version of the name], was named in recognition of the Ballards early pioneering presence in the area. There was an effort underway to rename the peak Ballard Mountain. John Ballard, a former slave from Kentucky, was a blacksmith, a teamster, and a firewood salesman. He was a free man when the family arrived in Los Angeles in 1859. John was able to earn enough money to purchase 320 acres near Seminole Hot Springs, and the family later moved near Santa Monica. John helped found the First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles; the services were first held in 1872 in the home of co-founder Biddy Mason. Mason, like Ballard, had been a former slave; she won her freedom, along with 13 others, in an 1856 California court case. Mason settled in the city of Los Angeles. It is not known how John Ballard gained his freedom. When the Ballards moved to their mountain home, the family was sometimes harassed; their house was burnt down in an attempt to run them out of the area, but the Ballards refused to leave. John, and Amanda, who was born in Texas, first appear in the 1860 U.S. Federal Census. The couple had seven children according to the 1870 Census, all of whom were born in California. By 1900, John Ballard was a widow and his daughter Alice, who was a nurse, and two grandsons, were living with him. For more see Happy Days in Southern California, by F. H. Rindge [John Ballard is not referred to by name but rather as an "old colored neighbor"]; Heads and Tails -- and Odds and Ends, by J. H. Russell; B.

Cole, James H. and Mary D.
When James Cole died, he was the wealthiest African American in Michigan. He had been a slave born in 1837 in Mississippi. He had escaped and settled in Detroit. On his way to freedom, Cole passed through Kentucky and was aided by a slave family. He had been in Detroit a few years when he met a young girl who was a member of the Kentucky family that had helped him during his escape. Cole and the 13 year old girl, Mary D. (born 1850 in Kentucky), were later married; they would become the parents of several children, one of whom was Thomas A.

Keene Industrial Institute (Keene, KY) /
Beattyville Industrial Institute (Beattyville, KY) / W. H. Parker
Start Year : 1900
The Keene Industrial Institute was located in Keene, Jessamine County, Kentucky. The school was established by W. H. Parker, November 12, 1900, and the first session was held from January-May, 1901. Parker, from Alabama, was a graduate of State University in Louisville [later Simmons University]. He came to Keene in 1899 to build a school on the order of Tuskegee Institute. Keene Industrial Institute was established with donations; W. H. Parker traveled throughout Kentucky and to northern states attempting to raise additional funds. In November, 1901, the school was visited by Virginia Dox from Boston. It was an impromptu visit that was encouraged by Dr. W. G. Frost, President of Berea College. Virginia Dox had raised money for schools in the West and in Mexico. She encouraged W. H. Parker to continue his efforts and they would pay off in the long run. W. H. Parker received small donations from the community and larger donations from persons in nearby counties. The girls dormitory was donated by A. J. Alexander of Woodburn, Spring Station, KY. Money for a new building had been donated by Senator J. M. Thomas of Bourbon County. Students were charged $5 per month for board and tuition. The shoe-making department for boys was headed by W. H. Cornell from Alabama, and it was thought to be the first time in Kentucky that a Colored institution participated in the shoe sales market. The school also offered sewing and cooking for the girls. In 1902, some equipment had been gathered for a blacksmith department. The school was then referred to as a normal and industrial institute. The school staff members were W. H. Parker; W. R. Dudley; Mrs. Ellsa Jones, matron; Horace D. Slatter, English and normal; J. E. Bookware, shoe-making; Mrs. Eliza Gaines, sewing; Miss Hannah M. Webster, English and normal; Rev. J. H. Brooks, Chaplain, history, Bible and English. After struggling year after year to keep Keene Industrial Institute afloat, it was announced in March 1903 that the school would be moved to Beattyville, KY, during the summer. The new school was located on five acres of land donated by Judge G. W. Gourley of Lexington. An adjoining 45 acres was available for lease, and if the school proved to be successful for Lee County, then the 45 acres could be purchased by the school trustees. The leased land was used as a farm. Boys who could not pay their board and tuition could work off their fees at the farm. The instruction for boys included carpentry and blacksmithing, and they could make additional money cutting cord wood and getting cross ties for railroad contractors. Girls who could not pay their tuition and board outright could work off their fees in the laundry or by sewing and cooking at the school. Mrs. Lizzie Johnson, from Paducah, KY, was over the Laundry Department and the primary grades. Miss Mamie L. Brooks, from Paducah, was the music instructor. Mrs. W. H. Parker taught mathematics and grammar. The new school building opened in the fall of 1903. The motto was "Obedience is our watchword." Miss Alice Brownlow, a musician from Mobile, Alabama, and sister to Mrs. W. H. Parker, arrived in Beattyville in November, 1903 to take part in the school's Industrial Congress celebration. There were 30 students at the school, all boys and men from Kentucky and several other states, aged 11 to 28. In September, 1904, W. H. Parker represented the school during the Mount Pleasant Association Messengers and Ministers Meeting held in Lexington, KY. W. H. Parker was also a politician, serving as an alternate-at-large for Beattyville for the Kentucky Delegation to the 1904 Republican National Convention in Chicago, where Theodore Roosevelt was nominated as Presidential candidate and Charles W. Fairbanks the Vice-Presidential candidate.

Logan, Greenbury
Birth Year : 1799
Death Year : 1880
Greenbury (or Greenberry) Logan was born in Kentucky, the son of David Logan, who was white. Greenbury may or may not have been a slave, though he was free when he left Kentucky for Missouri, where he was married and had five children. In 1831, Logan moved to Texas and became a blacksmith on the Bingham Plantation; he was one of the first African Americans to settle in Texas. He purchased the freedom of a slave name Caroline and married her. Logan fought at Velasco and later joined the Texas army and fought at Bexar, where he was wounded in the shoulder and lost use of one arm. No longer able to be a blacksmith, Logan and his wife opened a successful boarding house in Brazoria. The Constitution of 1836 stipulated that all freemen were to leave the Republic of Texas; Logan, like Nelson Kavanaugh, filed a petition with Congress, asking that he be allowed to remain in Texas. Whether the Texas Congress replied or not, the Logans remained in Texas, but their financial success began in decline in 1839. By 1845 they had lost all of their property. For more see Greenbury Logan, by N. Thompson, at The Handbook of Texas Online website; several articles in the Southwestern Historical Quarterly, including H. Schoen, "The Free Negro in the Republic of Texas," vol. 41, issue 1, pp. 83-108; and In Search of the Racial Frontier: African Americans in the American West, by Q. Taylor.

Sam (slave)
Sam, an escaped slave from Kentucky, is believed to be the last fugitive slave sought in Janesville, Wisconsin. Sam was employed in William Eager's blacksmith shop in 1861 when Steuben, Sam's owner, arrived to take Sam back to Kentucky. Later that evening, Eager, with Sam and men from the city fire department, confronted Steuben at the local hotel; they were prepared to hang Steuben if he tried to take Sam back to Kentucky. Those inside the hotel led Steuben out the back door, and he rode off fast, heading South toward Beloit and the Wisconsin/Illinois border. The person from Janesville who had contacted Steuben about Sam's whereabouts was run out of town.

Sansbury, Louis
Birth Year : 1806
Death Year : 1861
Sansbury was a 27 year old slave in Springfield, KY, when the cholera epidemic hit the city in 1833. George Sansbury, Louis' owner, fled the city along with many others. Prior to his leaving, George gave Louis the keys to his hotel and told him to take care of the business. Louis and Matilda Sims, a cook, took care of the hotel and several of the other businesses that owners left unattended when they tried to flee the cholera epidemic. Those who took flight were carrying the disease to their destinations. Though they were enslaved, Louis Sansbury and Matilda Simms did not try to escape, staying in town to treat the sick, bury the dead, and keep an eye on the town's abandoned businesses. Neither Louis nor Matilda became sick during the 1833 epidemic. In time the city rebounded, and when George Sansbury died in 1845, the city of Springfield purchased Louis's freedom in retribution for his dedication and care during the epidemic, and he was provided with a blacksmith shop. When another cholera epidemic hit in 1854, Louis Sansbury did as he had done before, taking care of the sick and burying the dead. Louis died in 1861 and is buried in an unmarked grave. In 2004, the city of Springfield recognized his heroic deeds by dedicating the first annual African American Heritage Week in his honor.

Absorbing nutrients and maintaining a healthy weight can be a problem for people with IBD. At Mayo Clinic, dietitians with expertise in inflammatory bowel disease are part of your treatment team. If your digestive problems are severe, Mayo specialists may recommend special diets or home parenteral nutrition.
Most women with IBD can have successful pregnancies, especially if they can keep the disease in remission during pregnancy. However, it's very important that both men and women with IBD who wish to have a child talk to their doctors. The disease and its treatments may affect the pregnancy and increase the risk of early labor or birth defects. Mayo Clinic doctors have expertise and experience guiding women with IBD through pregnancy and delivery.
At Mayo Clinic, a team of specialists will work together to address your child's needs. Because long-term steroid use can have harmful effects on children, Mayo Clinic doctors often choose to use other anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs. Mayo Clinic also uses advanced diagnostic tests, such as MR enterography, that don't expose children to ionizing X-ray radiation.
Ulcerative colitis often takes an even greater physical and emotional toll on children and adolescents than it does on adults. The disease can slow children's growth and delay sexual maturation. At Mayo Clinic, young people and their families work closely with psychologists who can help them navigate the day-to-day difficulties of living with ulcerative colitis.

Costly Winter Thus Far in Ohio
This has been a costly winter for Ohio.
The Ohio Dept of Transportation has already spent about $47 million on snow and ice removal this winter. Compare that to the $44 million spent during the entire winter of 2012 and the ten-year average of $22 million.
"We have used about 466,000 tons of salt throughout the state of Ohio since this winter season began," said ODOT spokesman Steve Faulkner.
Last week's "polar vortex" alone cost about $13 million to deal with. Until that storm hit, ODOT had only spent about $34 million statewide.
Now that warmer temperatures have moved in, crews that had been working 12-hour shifts to clear roads are now using that time to patch potholes.
"Sometimes we can use essentially what is a temporary patch in order to get that hole fixed - temporarily - until we can get back out there make a more long-term fix to it," Faulkner said.
The state is also re-filling salt barns in preparation for whatever winter has in store for the rest of the season.

Wednesdays in February (5–26) at 10:15 AM
Human intelligence (HUMINT) is concerned with helping policymakers better understand how our adversaries think. In this fascinating morning course, experts who have spent years examining the dark side of human psychology—delving into the minds and motives of traitors, dictators, and terrorists—share their insights and discuss implications for national security in the 21st century.
What Makes Traitors Tick?
February 5
He was the psychiatrist for notorious spy Robert Hanssen and interviewed him extensively in prison. David L. Charney knows better than anyone how Hanssen thought and even felt immediately after his long-term espionage was discovered. Did he feel remorse, did he worry about his family, did he care? The answers may surprise you. Charney has worked with a number of high-profile spies and has focused extensively on the psychology and motivation of traitors.
Does the Evil Mind Exist?
February 12
What makes a person choose evil as a way of life? Stanton Samenow, a noted forensic scientist and author of The Criminal Personality and Inside the Criminal Mind, has closely encountered truly villainous people—both notorious and unknown. If anyone can answer whether there are truly evil people, he can. Samenow was the prosecution's mental health witness in the trial of the younger of the DC snipers, Lee Boyd Malvo, and he participated in the longest in-depth clinical research and treatment study of offenders conducted in North America.
Dictators and Their Disciples in a Dangerous World
February 19
Today's international security environment is much less stable than that of the Cold War. Rogue leaders of outlaw nations with access to weapons of mass destruction pose threats unknown in the past. It is crucial to understand what drives these leaders. Jerrold Post has devoted his career to this effort. He is director of the political psychology program at The George Washington University, and was founding director of the CIA's Center for the Analysis of Personality and Political Behavior. He played the lead role in developing the "Camp David profiles" of Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat for President Jimmy Carter, and testified before Congress on the political personality of Saddam Hussein. He also initiated the U.S. government program in understanding the psychology of terrorism. Dr. Post's latest books are Leaders and their Followers in a Dangerous World and The Mind of the Terrorist.
Can a Terrorist's Brain Be Rebooted?
February 26
What sets someone on a terrorist trajectory and, more importantly, what could divert him (or her)? Anne Speckhard, author of Talking to Terrorists, is a research psychologist who has interviewed more than 400 terrorists, their family members, hostages, and close associates worldwide. She has conducted psychological autopsies on more than half of the 112 Chechen suicide terrorists as well as dozens of Palestinian suicide terrorists to understand the motivations for and psychological underpinnings of terrorism. She also helped design the Detainee Rehabilitation Program in Iraq for more than 20,000 detainees held by the U.S. Department of Defense. Drawing on this expertise, she can suggest whether the terrorist mindset can be changed.

U.S. Soccer Development Academy Roundup
This past weekend, the New England Revolution's three youth teams went unbeaten – with a combined record of 3-0-1 – against regional rival Seacoast United and league newcomer Montreal Impact. The Under-18s posted a pair of wins (2-1 over Seacoast and 1-0 over Montreal), while the Under-16s went 1-0-1 with a 2-1 win over Seacoast and a 0-0 draw against Montreal. The Revs' U-16s are 2-1-4 (10 pts.), while the U-14s are 4-1-0 (12 pts.).
D.C. United's U-18 and U-16 Academy teams saw their winning streaks end this past Saturday with a 1-0 loss to, and a 2-2 draw with, FC Delco's U-18's and U-16's, respectively, in Radnor, Pa.
A missed penalty kick by the U-18's in the opening minute of the match and a converted FC Delco penalty kick in the 72nd proved to be the difference between the squads. A handball inside the box in the first minute of the match gave Patrick Foss an opportunity to put United up 1-0, but the FC Delco goalkeeper saved the ball to keep the scoreline even. FC Delco sealed the win with a 76th minute pk by George Tsirukis.
After taking an early 2-0 lead, D.C. United's U-16 squad ended its match against FC Delco even at 2-2. In the 19th minute, Gerson Umana bent in a corner kick that Julian Cummings put away. Another Umana corner kick, ten minutes later, found Graydon Hester who made the score 2-0 within the first 30 minutes of the match. But FC Delco's Tyler Skwara and Grant Yu scored in the 38th and 69th minutes, respectively, to earn a point.
Led by second-half goals from Matthew Vasquenza and Alexander Wrona, Oakwood Soccer Club's U-15/16 team improved to 6-0-0 with a 2-0 victory against BW Gottschee Academy last Saturday. The win sets up an intriguing Northeast Division matchup against the New York Red Bulls (6-0-1) on Saturday, Nov. 17.
FC Dallas' U-18 Development Academy team notched a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids prior to the U-16 team defeating the MLS side's U-16 team, 2-1, on Saturday, Nov. 10.
FC Dallas' Under-18s kicked off the day with a shutout victory over the Rapids U-18s on Field 8 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Following a scoreless first half, forward Bobby Edet broke the deadlock in the 65th minute. The goal was set up by FC Dallas Homegrown Player Kellyn Acosta. The goal was Edet's team-leading sixth of the season.
FC Dallas' Victor Portillo added an insurance goal via counterattack in the 85th minute. Goalkeepers Caleb Underwood and Jesse Gonzalez each played 45 minutes as the team secured its third shutout to improve to 5-2-0 on the season. The team is currently in second place (15 points) in U.S. Soccer Development Academy's Central Conference, Frontier Division. FC Dallas trails only Sporting Kansas City (6-2-0, 18 points), which the U-18s defeated, 3-1, on Nov. 4. Both of FC Dallas U-18s losses were suffered in Colorado in late October.
In the U16 game, FCD forward Santiago Agudelo scored the game-winner in the 42nd minute, just two minutes after Colorado's Edward Venta-Yepes tied the score, 1-1. The goal was Agudelo's ninth goal this season. Aaron Meyer scored FC Dallas' first goal in the seventh minute.
The win keeps FC Dallas on top of the Development Academy's Central Conference, Frontier Division, three points ahead of Solar Chelsea SC (19 points). FC Dallas defeated Solar Chelsea SC in head-to-head competition, 3-2, on Oct. 13.
The Rapids U16s, now 5-3-1 (W-L-T) and 16 points, are third in points in the Frontier Division.
The Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy U-18's kept their unbeaten record intact with a win and a draw against a pair of Southern California rivals.
The RSL U-18's drew their first match, tying Irvine Strikers FC 3-3 in Southern California on Saturday, Nov. 3. The team picked up a win the next day, getting a goal at the death to beat Pateadores FC 2-1 on Sunday, Nov. 4.
Jose Navarro was the star for the U-18's, scoring four goals – including a first half hat trick against Irvine – in the two matches to move his season total to seven. Riggs Lennon also played well, picking up two assists to help the U-18's stay unbeaten.
The RSL U-18's are now 6-0-2 in the U.S. Soccer Developmental Academy season, good enough for first place in the West Conference's Southwest Division.
Real So Cal's U-15/16 and U-17/18 teams each picked up their first win of the season with a sweep against Pateadores last Sunday. The Real So Cal U-15/16 team rallied from a first-half deficit with Chester Castellaw scoring a 47th-minute equalizer and Carlos Gonzalez the game-winner in the 76th minute for a 2-1 victory. In the U-17/18 game, Real So Cal's Kevin Martinez tallied the lone goal in the 32nd minute and the defense posted its first shutout of the year.
Chivas USA's -18s defeated Arsenal FC 2-1 over the weekend , led by Ben Spencer's two-goal performance.
The Chicago Fire U-18 and U-16 Academy teams went 2-0-1 over the weekend. The U-18s match against the Crew Soccer Academy Wolves, originally scheduled to take place Saturday, Nov. 10, was postponed due to severe weather. The 18s defeated Vardar SC Freiburg 1-0 Sunday morning. The U-16s won their first match of the weekend 1-0 against the No. 1 ranked Crew Soccer Academy Wolves Saturday before dropping a 1-0 decision to Vardar SC Freiburg Sunday.
The Fire's Luca Giovine scored the only goal of the game in the 61st minute as the Fire U-16s defeated the previously undefeated Crew Soccer Academy Wolves 1-0 Saturday afternoon on the Toyota Park Turf Field. This was the first loss suffered by the Wolves, who entered the match with a 9-0-1 record.
The Fire U-18s kicked off first on Sunday, Nov. 11. Jeffrey Farina scored in the 50th minute as the Fire defeated Vardar 1-0. Farina's goal in Sunday's match was his 11th goal of the season. Farina leads the U-18s and has scored 11 of the team's 21 goals this season.
In the second match of the day, Vardar's Robert Cort scored the only goal of the match in the 42nd minute to give the visitors a 1-0 win.
The U-18s (5-3-2) sit in seventh place in the Central Conference's Mid-America Division. The U-16s (5-3-3) currently hold third place in the Mid-America Division.
Samuel Hayward and Jesse Miralrio Toledo each scored two goals and the Solar Chelsea SC U-17/18 team shut out Frontier Division-leading Sporting Kansas City 4-0 last Saturday. All five of Solar Chelsea SC's victories this season have been shutouts, as the team improved to 5-2-1. Sporting Kansas City dropped to 6-2-0 (2.25 points per game), but is still clinging onto a first-place lead over FC Dallas (5-2-0; 2.14 points per game).
St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri's Mark Segbers scored three goals during the U-15/16 team's 5-1 victory against FC Milwaukee and SLSG Missouri U-17/18's Austin Panchot also notched three goals as his side rebounded from an early one-goal deficit for a 3-1 win last Saturday against FC Milwaukee.
NSCAA High School Players of the Week
Senior midfielders Morgan Andrews from Milford High School (Milford, N.H.) and Mike Rood from Susquehanna Valley High School (Conklin, N.Y.) have been named NSCAA High School Players of the Week.
Andrews finished her season on a high note. As team captain she led the Spartans to victory by scoring both goals in the team's 2-1 win over last year's state champion Souhegan High School. That win earned Milford High its first-ever New Hampshire state soccer championship.
Andrews led the team in goals and assists all four years of her high school career and will graduate with school records in goals (114) and assists (53). Andrews and the Spartans are coached by John Valchos.
Rood turned in a clutch performance last week, scoring three goals (including the game-winner) in a 5-2 victory in the sectional championship game. He followed that performance with an assist on the lone goal in the state quarterfinal game to help advance the Crusaders to the state semifinals for the first time in school history.
Rood, in his third year as captain, has led the Sabers in goals and assists, and has earned two All-State awards and two All-Region nods. Rood and the Crusaders are coached by Ted Hudock.
Other female nominees were Hailey Williams from Calvert High School (Prince Fredrick, Md.) and Kaitlin Saulter from Hermon High School (Herman, Maine).
Other male nominees were Jordan Stewart from The Geneva School (Winter Park, Fla.), Owen Ryan from Durham School of Arts (Durham, N.C.), and Connor Smith from Gonzaga College High School (Washington, D.C.).

There is a movement toward returning to the Bible for guidance to live a more fulfilling life. This oldest book in the world contains many answers we often overlook. There is wisdom in the parables that Jesus taught. There is insight and humility to be learned in Paul's letters to the churches. We can learn how to forgive, repair "spiritual emptiness," and experience peace in our souls when we open ourselves to the teachings of the Holy Spirit.

16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
The truth who are you. I throw you on your head like your friend if you like.
"The truth" you say on page 10 that artem "came in through the back door, didn't weigh in" So where do you get this figure of 8kg? You can't just look at his legs and say yep 8kg over! If you thought he looked Heavy after the fight then you thought he looked heavy before it.. But you took the fight cos you thought he was a little midget with no fights and you'd smash him. Your plan back fired so harrop should stop whining like a little bitch, man up and move on
Lloyd was never meant to fight kotov and I mean kotov came through the back door as in he came out of nowhere the promotor knew what weight kotov was(84kg) but lied to Lloyd lead him to believe that he was 77kg kotov was not present at the weigh ins Danny must of had him on standby and Lloyd had never of kotov
Did no-one think to ask him to weigh in then if you had never heard of him, seen him etc, surely some blame must lie on both sides if thats the case, if you just looked at him, knew he was 0-0 and thought, easy fight, then its kinda your own fault to some degree......Still no reason for a NC.
And still we have no actual facts re the weight issue.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Lloyd did'nt know anything till just before the fight that kotov was a last second replacement he put his trust in the promotor who told him that kotov was 77kg to make the fight happen Lloyd trusted the word of the promotor(won't ever be doing that again) the promotor knew that kotov was 8kg heavier after the fight he admitted that kotov was 8kg over and the pics on page 4 back this up END OF STORY

Martin State Forest was established in 1932 with the purchase of 1,205 acres. A firetower and a small picnic area were soon built. In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps built several shelterhouses. Three fishing ponds were constructed in 1957. Each pond measured 3 to 4 acres. In the mid-1960s a 26-site, primitive campground was developed.
The property has grown to 7,863 acres through additional land purchases and trades with the U.S. Forest Service. Most of the land was eroding, abandoned farmland or heavily cut-over woodland when acquired. With years of intensive management, including the planting of thousands of trees, countless hours fighting wildfires and hundreds of acres of selective improvement harvests, the area has been transformed into a lush, healthy, growing forest.
Primitive (class C) camping is available for a fee. There are 26 designated campsites located within the forest. Pit toilets and drinking water are available near sites. A self check-in station is located in the campground. We do not accept reservations, camping is available on a first come, first served basis.
Martin State Forest has three lakes on the property:
Martin Lake and Hardwood Lake are open to fishing with a valid Indiana fishing license. While Pine Lake is usually too heavily vegetated to fish, it can be a nice area for viewing wildlife.
Species of fish are channel catfish, bluegill and largemouth bass, as well as some crappie and redear. Boat motors are limited to electric trolling motors. Swimming is prohibited in all lakes.
Whitetail deer, turkey, gray squirrel, rabbit and raccoon. A valid hunting license is required. See Where to Hunt for more information.
Several picnic areas including 4 picnic shelters are available for day use. Picnic areas, with picnic tables and grills, are located throughout the forest.
The Hoosier Woodland Arboretum is located adjacent to the state forest office, and is open year round without charge. Spring, summer and fall are the best times to visit the arboretum. The trail through the arboretum is self-guiding and the walking is easy. You may park your vehicle across from the arboretum entrance or at the forest office. An accessible parking spot and connecting trail are located adjacent to the arboretum. The arboretum contains about three acres with a ¼ mile winding trail. There is a shorter segment of the trail that is wheelchair accessible in dry weather.
This informal arboretum was established in an existing wooded area. Additional species have been added to those already present, and the collection currently contains about 60 different species identified by signs along the trail. The most common species, such as the oaks and hickories, are represented within the arboretum by several specimens. These specimens were present when the arboretum was established. Unlike many arboretums, our goal is not to provide a great number of different species, but to offer a representation of the common woodland trees in Indiana.
Hiking Trails
Hikers are advised to wear hunter orange or other bright clothing while on trails during hunting season.
Woodland Education Trail:
The trail is approximately 1-1/4 miles long, or about one hour of easy walking. This is a self guided trail that will return you to your original starting point. Located on the trail are informational signs, which point out some interesting facts about the woodland environment. Hiking this trail will allow hikers an opportunity to better understand the philosophy of multiple-use management of Indiana's state forests.
Besides the abundant natural beauty of the forest, you will see the interactions between people and the forest. Some examples include the picnic areas, an old demonstration timber harvest, a campground, and Martin lake. Also easily accessible from the trail via short spur trails are the Willow Valley Fire Tower and the Tower Hill Shelterhouse, structures that were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's.
We hope this trail will "whet your appetite" to explore and enjoy the entire forest. Further information is available at the forest office.
Tank Spring Trail:
Tank Spring Trail is a moderately rugged hiking trail situated in the hills of eastern Martin County. The trailhead is located along a county road approximately three miles from the Martin State Forest office. It can be reached by going straight south out of the forest entrance on State Road 650 and following the signs to the trailhead.
Tank Spring, which is the focal point of the trail, has an interesting history. It is thought that the spring, originally known as Green Spring, became known as Tank Spring because water from the spring was used to fill a tank along the old Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. At that time, train locomotives used the water in their steam engines. The tank was near the spot where the old town of Willow Valley once stood. Willow Valley was a regular railroad stop, but like many other similar towns, it has disappeared with the passing of the steam locomotive from the railroad system. Now only the name Tank Spring remains as a reminder.
The hiking trail was initially established in 1979 and led directly to Tank Spring. In 1980-81, a second section of trail was constructed which began at the Spring and followed a different route back, thus completing a loop and bringing the total trail length to three miles. Several Young Adult Conservation Corps (YACC) crews supplied the labor to build the trail.
Although the area is undeveloped except for the trail, it is not a backcountry area, and no camping or fires are allowed.
Sixty acres surrounding Tank Spring were dedicated as a Nature Preserve in 1997. This area contains a high quality example of mesic (moderately moist) upland forest community, sand stone cliffs and a permanent fresh water spring.
For more information, please contact the DNR Division of Nature Preserves at (317) 232-4052.

Wrigley Field, Chicago Sept. 20, 2010 A man is arrested after planting a fake bomb outside Wrigley Field.
Happy birthday Wrigley Field, but are you too beautiful of a ballpark?
Between 1916 and 1945, the Cubs would compete in five World Series in Wrigley, losing all of them.
"The idea is to get out in the open air, have a picnic," Wrigley said.
It does not help that he once misspelled he name of Cub former star Ryne Sandberg and gave the wrong address for Wrigley Field.
Most fortunate Mrs. Wrigley—to have encountered Philip in that hour, which she deemed the blackest in her life.
Mrs. Wrigley should have further cause to bless his mother's memory.
As a mathematical instructor I imagine Wrigley was a good drillmaster rather than an inspiring teacher.
One was in charge at lonely Wrigley, and we find his brother here.
The Wrigley triplets once more correct by exercise their sluggish livers.

Discussion in 'Artwork Zone' started by rojan, Aug 21, 2010.
Does anyone have a link to watch the game online tonight??
I get it locally here in SD but I may look for a Dallas feed. The two tools they have working the mics tonight are already bashing the Cowboys beyond belief. It's pathetic.
Miles Ratliff free and igor are captains
I love to hear Miles and Ratliff get some respect.
That's some nasty quality right there.
Veetle.com has a very good quality broadcast. Much better than justin or channelsurf.
Where is the feed?
Can't find it on veetle so far tonight?
blurry and choppy
I'm going to lose my ****ing mind if it's like this during the season. I can't find it ANYWHERE with decent quality.
I hate apartments. I want my damn NFL Sunday Ticket!
Wrong link.
That's the Steelers/Giants.
I cant find literally every game EXCEPT Dallas.
I hate not having Sunday Ticket.
This works, but no sound and kinda choppy.
I've got Giants/Steelers.
How do I get Cowboys on veetle?
The VEETLE feed is pretty nice quality...too bad it's the gnats

CLAREMONT - The battle between Golden State Water Co. and Claremont over local water assets shows no signs of slowing as multiple groups have recently appeared to support one side or the other.
One almost needs a scorecard to keep track of the groups.
One group is Stop the Claremont Water Grab, a program of The California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights, which supports not taking over the water company.
The other organizations, all in favor of taking over the water company, include Claremonters Against Outrageous Water Rates, the League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area and Sustainable Claremont.
The issue is whether the city should attempt to obtain the company's Claremont assets either by purchase or eminent domain.
Claremont officials have been at odds with the San Dimas-based water company for some time after it asked the Public Utilities Commission to approve a rate increase of more than 24 percent for 2013 and additional increases in 2014 and 2015.
A negotiated settlement resulted in Claremont's 11,000 customers and ratepayers receiving a 15.1 percent rate increase in 2013, 2 percent more in 2014 and 1.8 percent in 2015.
In November, Claremont officials sent an initial offer of more than $54 million to purchase the company's local assets but Golden State officials have said no.
On Dec. 18, Golden State released a feasibility study by a water expert it paid for that said the water company's local assets could cost as much as $204 million.
City officials issued a news release two days later stating the water company "hires lobbyists and consultants to mislead residents."
Stop Claremont Water Grab/California in early December started issuing statements taking issue with the city's $54 million offer. The city responded with a news release about how it was spreading "false information" about the water utility system.
The alliance, which sponsored 2008's Proposition 98 to reform eminent domain "abuse," was founded in 2005 and describes itself as the state's leading private property rights organization.
Marko Mlikotin of the Folsom-based alliance is against the "push" of the eminent domain process and the price it puts on local residents.
"In every case we've been a part of, it's never disclosed what the true cost is (of an eminent domain action) until after it was acquired," Mlikotin said.
A year ago, before Mlikotin's group entered the battle in Claremont, Claremonters Against Outrageous Water Rates was beating the drum to take over the water company.
"We're that watchdog group I truly believe are representing the lion's share of the residents in Claremont," said Hal Hargrave of that group. "We haven't taken a straw poll but we can tell by our activity on email and just being active in the community and getting a wide range of our demographics in town ... we're well over 95 percent in favor of getting (local assets) away from Golden State water."
Meanwhile, the League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area have advocated city ownership of the water assets since 2004, when it issued a report in favor of the take over.
Freeman Allen, who co-wrote the league report and is on Sustainable Claremont, said the water company and the water grab group has misunderstood the 2004 report in saying the cost would be more than $100 million.
"We assumed $100 million for the purpose of analysis ... we said the cost of the system might be more or less," Allen said.
Allen said the water grab/alliance group is an arm of Golden State.
"It's more of Golden State water's propaganda," Allen said.
Mlikotin took issue with his organization being tied to Golden State.
City officials said River City Communications in Sacramento operates the Mlikotin's organization and has aligned itself with the water company.
"It's not uncommon for a consulting firm to manage a non-profit company," Mlikotin said in a previous interview. "(Claremont) has not really disclosed what the financial impact is. Acquiring the water company by eminent domain will incur millions of dollars in debt."
The Claremonters Against Outrageous Water Rates Hargrave disagreed with Mlikotin's comments and pointed to Allen's report.
"A lot of educated people in Claremont have dug into this topic (of water). It's nice to have that data and fact base behind what's going on. I truly believe the $54 million (from Claremont) is fact based and the $200 million (from the water company) is a scare tactic."

Carolina Mendez Hernandez - from San Jose, Costa Rica
I do not recommend using chalk in cake decorating because it is not a food safe material. I love using Pearl Dust and Color Dust to brush and paint my flowers. These are edible, food safe powders that come in a rainbow of colors. Pearl Dust has a lusterous finish and Color Dust is matte. Both are available in major craft retailers in the baking aisles, and also online here:
