"Never underestimate the power of human stupidity;" said professor Robert Heinlein. Today I witnessed some powerful stupidity that strangely could, in the final analysis, actually benefit the progressive cause.
Today at lunch I overheard one of the most politically ignorant, wing-nut, blow-hards ever in my 64 years. He was holding court with two of his co-workers in a Pizza buffet. The things he had to say were so jaw-droppingly, mind bogglingly stupid; I could not stop listening. Follow me past the orange squiggles for the payoff.
I am retired and my wife works part time most week days, so I have many lunches by myself. Today I stopped in one of my favorite Louisville east-end Pizza places for the week-day lunch buffet. Two empty tables away from my booth were three apparent co-workers; identified by the polo shirts with company logos (which I won't reveal.)
The three at the table were (1) the 'big blow hard" who was in his 50's, had a deep booming voice and didn't mind sharing his "intelligent" observations with not only his co-workers but with sufficient volume not to be ignored by the entire room, (2) his smaller, skinnier, younger sycophant who at least nodded in agreement with BBH and sometimes offered comments and (3) a small, quiet guy between the ages of the first two who said nothing. (I suspect he is a democrat who knows better than to challenge his aggressively stupid companions.)
If BBH was not a tea bagger he certainly was a sympathizer. He expressed great disdain for liberals and democrats. He subscribes to the myth of left-wing control of all media but it was not his opinions that were so startlingly stupid. He had command of a litany of "facts" that would be to the far right of Faux news on one of Roger Ailes's most reactionary days
• Obama's re-election will result in the nationalization of all small businesses starting January 1, 2013.
• This will coincide with the start of firearm confiscation
• Obamacare already provides free health care to anyone who is too lazy to work or whose employer is too cheap to provide coverage
However, the above actually came on the heels of the first statement I overheard soon after my first trip to the buffet line. It was all I could do to keep from spitting out a bite of salad when I heard what he was saying.
This is the mother of all right-wing conspiracy theories. The thought even crossed my mind that this guy was pulling the legs of coworkers he knew to be less informed. However, from watching his face; I have to say, if so, he is one hell of an actor.
I can't reconstruct the exact quotes but the gist is that:
• Obama has contracted for all the votes in the November general election to be counted only by computers.
• The computers doing the counting will be located outside the US so as to be out of the jurisdiction of any lawmaker or official who might wish to challenge the outcome.
• The arrangements have been made with a company in Spain.
• There will be no paper trail.
• The results of the count are not subject to change or challenge.
• Both parties in the House and the Senate are both in on the scam
BBH contends that due to the above and that because food stamp, Obamacare and/or welfare recipients greatly outnumber working people like themselves; THERE WILL BE AN OBAMA LANDSLIDE VICTORY IN THE FALL.
OMG!! I heard a new Right Wing Conspiracy Theory today from a delusional "bagger?"

This project was created in partnership with Regional Arts Victoria, Swan Hill Aboriginal Health Service and Swan Hill Neighbourhood House, and was part of the 3rd annual Go North Arts Festival – a community festival that celebrates the exciting and diverse range of arts and culture in the Swan Hill region (22-31 October 2010).

Jude Law and Rolls Royce Become Latest Trailer Hit at Czech Karlovy Vary Film Festival
As in previous years the newest trailer of the 46th International Karlovy Vary Film Festival has become an overnight hit. It has even gone viral on the Net as movie fans share a screen shot of the latest trailer via Google's YouTube.
This year's trailer is part of an occasional series which pokes at what award winners, including Harvey Keitel and John Malkovich, end up doing with their trophies rather than letting them collect dust in cupboards or on living room shelves.

Shingy joined us after Manchester United 1-2 Manchester City and tells us Zlatan's missed chance at the end of the 1st half probably cost us the game, agree? Comment below!
Manchester United lost 2-1 to Manchester City at Old Trafford, in the first Manchester Derby between Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. A defensive error and a lucky bounce allowed Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho to score goals in the first half, and through many chances, only Zlatan Ibrahimovic could grab a goal in the reverse. Slow and sluggish in the first half, United showed incredible passion and guile to try and get back in the second half, which represented progress of its own.
The real game changer was the substitution of Henrikh Mkhitaryan for Ander Herrera, who changed the game and looked tidy at the base of United's midfield. With Herrera in the midfield and Rooney out wide, United looked effective, creating chances at will for the likes of Marouane Fellaini, Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford, all of whom could've scored at any point in time. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't a bad performance from United, and with improved finishing and a high performance akin to the second half, the Red Devils could have a chance of performing to a far higher standard in the next Manchester Derby.

text: Jack- I agree with you. In any individual, you have to start with who they were before they went to war. Joshua was college-educated, a teacher, a married man, a father, an established person in the community. He already clearly had a very strong sense of self. Tom, before the war, was a grocery store clerk, the only Chamberlain brother not to attend college. During the war, he rose from private to Lieutenant-Colonel and had a distinguished war record, apart from his brother. His diligence and judgment upon learning of his brother's critical wound at Petersburg, including bringing the 20th Maine's surgeon with him as he searched for Joshua, is justly credited with a major, if not the but for factor besides Joshua's own determination, in Joshua surviving what most believed to be a mortal wound. From all accounts, unlike Joshua, Tom never found his place in the post-war world. Even now, for people dealing with depression and other mental illnesses, heavy alcohol consumption is a form of self-medication, an attempt to numb pain, psychological and/or physical. So, in the case of the Joshua and Thomas Chamberlain, you have two brothers, so, other than birth order, you don't have radical differences for nature and/or nurture. Both saw major combat during the war. So there are still mysteries as to why they had such radically different post-war lives.

Chad Michael Murray Calls Having Kids 'Greatest Thing in the World'
Father-son bonding time!

"We have a 22-month-old boy and now we have a few-day-old girl and we're so blessed," Chad said. "We just divvy the responsibilities. Turns out I can't breastfeed, so she has to take that responsibility."
While his wife takes on the feeding responsibility, he takes time to care for his son.
"It's one of those things where now I'm just taking on 100 percent of the boy's responsibilities and she's taking care of our daughter at the moment," the One Tree Hill alum added. "It's the greatest thing in the world."

Rock Hill, S.C. – Junior Lindsay Shaeffer and sophomore Lindsay Hostetter were named to the 2010 All-South Atlantic Conference women's tennis team as announced by the conference office on Wednesday afternoon.
Shaeffer becomes the second Brevard athlete to be a two-time first team All-SAC selection, joining men's basketball player Jonathan Whitson, after a junior season which saw the Perrysburg, Ohio went 13-3 at No. 1 singles for Coach Paul Thomson, while teaming up with Kim Dixon and Elise Labus to go 7-9 at No. 1 doubles on the season. Shaeffer also possessed an 11-match win streak at one point during the season.
Hostetter was named to the All-SAC second team after playing No. 2 singles and No. 2 doubles for the Tornados this season. The Livonia, Mich. native went 11-4 on the season in singles play, while teaming up with Claire Dillman and Kayley Duval to go 11-4 in doubles competition.
Lincoln Memorial University standout freshman Leah Donoff, who led the Lady Railsplitters to the conference championship, headlines the 2010 South Atlantic Conference All-Conference Women's Tennis Team.
Donoff, a freshman from Tipp City, OH (Tippecanoe High School), went 17-2 overall in her rookie season, including a 15-2 record at No. 1 singles, and was named the South Atlantic Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year. She went 7-1 in singles play against conference opponents. She also went 16-2 at doubles and was unbeaten in doubles play with partner Melanie Smith.
Lincoln Memorial head coach Benny Collins was named Women's Tennis Coach of the Year after leading the Lady Railsplitters to the conference championship with a 7-1 league record and 16-3 overall.
Carson-Newman College's Elizabeth Sneed received the Scholar-Athlete Award for women's tennis. Sneed is a senior with a double major in accounting and Spanish, and has a 3.91 GPA.
She is a three-time first-team All-SAC selection. This season, she was 4-4 in conference play at No. 2 singles and No. 2 doubles, and 10-4 overall in singles play and 11-3 in doubles play.
She is a member of three honor societies, including serving as president of Sigma Delta Pi, the Spanish honor society. She has been named to the Dean's List every semester. Sneed has served as a senator in Carson-Newman's student government association and volunteers with several civic groups. Elizabeth has worked with organizations that help clothe and feed needy families, and distribute food to low-income families, as well as preparing tax returns for those that need assistance.
Lincoln Memorial, Carson-Newman, and conference co-champion Tusculum College each placed three on the All-Conference Team.
The All-Conference team is selected by the league's head coaches.
The awards will be presented Friday after the women's semifinals matches of the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament. The tournament is being played at the Rock Hill Tennis Center in Rock Hill, S.C.

'Sometime next week, after the Flyers return from a road trip through Phoenix and Dallas, Anne Marie Biron, mother of two and Buffalo born and bred, will join her husband Martin to explore the City of Brotherly Love. "I told Gilles that if we're going to get the talks going, that before anything happens with it I wanted to make sure my family could be here," Biron told the Daily Times. "I'm sure my wife will like the area. I told her how much I liked the city and the team. I want to make sure that before we make a decision about where we might be for the next few years, she had a chance to see it."'

'"Felix is a great competitor who plays at a high skill level," Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said. "His experience in both the QMJHL and German Elite League last season has rounded his game perfectly for the professional level."'

Sabres sign Schutz
Ex-Sabres enforcer Ray sues NHLPA
'Former Buffalo Sabres enforcer Rob Ray is suing the NHLPA in New York Supreme Court over the payout of millions of dollars from the union's so-called war chest after the lockout was resolved. Ray originally sued the NHLPA after the union excluded him from receiving monthly payments during the '04-'05 lockout. After he settled that lawsuit, the union made lump-sum payouts to both current and former players. Now, Ray is suing for some of that money and seeking $1 million in punitive damages as well.'
Sabres reach 3-year deal with Schutz
'Buffalo's fourth-round pick in the 2006 NHL draft, Schutz was the German Elite League's rookie of the year this past season after scoring 25 points (12 goals and 13 assists) in 46 games for ERC Ingolstadt.'
Sabres sizing up Gerbe as big addition
'"I've heard (about my size) my whole life," Gerbe said during a press conference at HSBC Arena to announce his contract, which will pay him $850,000 annually if he sticks in Buffalo. "They tell me I'm not going to play juniors, and then I go out and make the team and play juniors. You tell me I'm not going to get a Division I scholarship and play in college. I showed many people wrong doing that. And they say you can't win a national title, and I've done that so far."'
Sabres 2007-08 Rookie Review
'The Sabres are in need of quality NHL defensemen, especially with the likely departure of Dmitri Kalinin in the offseason. Weber and Sekera are firmly entrenched in Buffalo, and will have the opportunity to play important roles. For a team that searched for its identity all season, the promising young blueliners may be a step toward the smart, tough-minded team the Sabres want to be.'
Sabres sign Felix Schutz
'Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier announced today the Sabres have agreed to terms with forward Felix Schutz (pronounced SHOOT-z), who played last season with ERC Ingolstadt of the German Elite League. The Sabres selected Schutz in the fourth round (117th overall) of the 2006 Entry Draft.'
Balsillie may yet get the last laugh
'And the Sabres work just fine as a business enterprise. They sold out 38 of 40 home games this past season, drew 71,000-plus to a New Year's outdoor game at the Ralph Wilson Stadium, and made some money from their broadcast contract as well. And so, if Golisano wants to sell, who, other than Balsillie, might be ready to buy in Buffalo?'
Gerbe ready for next level
'"This is a great opportunity for myself to further my career in hockey," Gerbe said in HSBC Arena. "It would be great going back to school and finish up my degree, and that's something I'm still going to pursue. . . . But I'm very excited to take this step and very proud."'
American Hockey League endorses Amerks' new owner
'Donner said all current creditors will be paid and the team's focus will turn to two pressing matters: finalizing a sole affiliation agreement with the NHL's Florida Panthers and negotiating a new lease at Blue Cross Arena at the Community War Memorial.'
Sabres' franchise will stay put, ownership says
'Balsillie, who has taken runs at purchasing the Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators with designs on moving those teams to Hamilton, remains interested in acquiring an NHL team. "For the past six months or so, we have been making an effort to stay out of the media altogether with respect to hockey issues," a Balsillie representative wrote in an e-mail. "With respect, that policy must continue for the time being."'
Sabres ink Gerbe
'The 20-year-old from Oxford, Michigan led the nation in scoring last season with 68 points in 43 games, including 35 goals. The Hobey Baker Award finalist, who is a diminutive 5-foot-5 and 165 pounds, led the Eagles to the NCAA title last season.'
Sabres sign BC forward Nathan Gerbe to 3-year deal
'Forward Nathan Gerbe has signed a three-year deal potentially worth more than $2 million with the Buffalo Sabres, electing to forgo his senior year at Boston College.'
Sabres Sign Gerbe
'Gerbe helped Boston College win the NCAA Championship over Notre Dame this season. The Junior was the runner-up for the Hobey Baker award for best Collegiate player. Gerbe had 5 goals and 3 assists in the Frozen Four.'
Sabres sign Nathan Gerbe
'Gerbe (7/24/1987, 5'6", 160 lbs.) led the nation in scoring this season with 68 points (35+33) in 43 games, five more than Hobey Baker Award winner Kevin Porter of Michigan. Gerbe scored points in 30 of 43 games, including a career-best five point (4+1) outing at Harvard on Dec. 12/07.'
'"Right now I'm 50-50," said Gerbe, who added there has been little contact with the Sabres. "I would like to see what happens when I talk to them. I think it would be nice for a new challenge. Going back to school would also be fun. There's definitely positives to both sides. I just have to get ready to make a good decision here. I'm pretty open. I like to hear both sides. I'll probably go back to school and have a sit down with our coaching staff. I haven't been able to do that yet. I think it would be good to hear what they have to say."'

One of the things my team worked on for Visual Studio 2012 is the Video feature. The idea is to give you a good introduction into a specific feature in VS. One of the problems I know I have had in the past is I think I want to use a cool new feature, but I can't find anyway to use it or the documentation is a bit obscure. One way people learn is visually and giving them a brief video into how the feature works seemed like a good idea. The start page in Visual Studio Premium and Ultimate shows a list of the videos that you have and puts a check box in the one you have not seen:
Not only can you do this from the start page, you can also get to videos while using the various features:
My Work is another new feature (that our team worked on). If you don't know how to use it, you can check it out the video. If you watch it, it will disappear or you can drop down the chevron and see info and decide to make it disappear.
If you want to check out these videos you can also view them on Channel 9. If you want more or just want to give feed back go do it on user voice.

Phillips grounds out to 3rd.
Bruce singles to right.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Mark Berry???? WTH?
""Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona." George Will
What was Berry thinking? Ludwick doubles to left. He sends Bruce who was out by a mile.
That ball was practically back in the infield as Bruce hit 3rd.

Between 1989 and 2010, the top 1 percent of the population went from holding 30.1 percent of the wealth to 34.5 percent, while the bottom 50 percent went from having 3 percent of the wealth to having just 1.1 percent. That's right: In 2010, 50 percent of Americans had 1.1 percent of the total net worth (PDF), according to the Congressional Research Service. The share of wealth held by the next 40 percent of people, up to the 90th percentile, had also dropped, from 29.9 percent to 24.3 percent. Put another way (and it's stunning however you look at it), 10 percent of people have 74.5 percent of the wealth.
Forget the top 1 percent. Let's talk about the bottom 50 percent for a minute.

If you own ORK and the Menu/Shop Extension, you can get a free upgrade to ORK Framework (aka ORK 2). Please send me your order/invoice numbers to firstname.lastname@example.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORK 1 release: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fellow developers, I'm pleased to announce the official release of ORK Okashi RPG Kit! What is ORK? ORK is the short form of Okashi RPG Kit - a role playing game development kit for Unity. The goal of ORK is to make developing RPG's less painful and time consuming by providing a complete and flexible base. It consists of several editors to create the data of your game (e.g. items, characters, enemies, etc.) and a fully functional battle system and event system. If you can think of it – you can most likely create it with ORK. If you can't – contact us and we'll probably make it happen in the next update of ORK (if it fits the overall direction of the kit). ORK is compatible with Unity 4, and officially supports publishing to the Web Player, PC and Mac Standalone, Android and iOS platform. Although it might run on other platforms (e.g. Xbox360, PlayStation 3, Wii), they are yet untested and not officially supported. ORK is available in C# script version. Demo created with ORK You want to see what you could do with ORK? Try the ORK demos (WebPlayer and standalone): >Demos< This small demo RPGs shows some of the possibilities of ORK - every gameplay aspect was created using the RPG Kit - the game menu, ingame events, the battle system ... even the camera system in the town area of the game was created by using ORKs event system. Editors ORK extends the functionality of Unity with a massive amount of editors, components and prefabs to create gameplay typical for a role playing game. Follow this link to read a short overview of the editors of ORK (also contains screenshots): >click< FAQ ORK has a new FAQ system, check it out and start asking questions there - you can also do feature requests Documentation ORK comes with detailed documentation of everything there is to know about it. And this documentation is available to the public - read it and see if ORK can do what you need. You can find the complete documentation in the ORK Wiki. Tutorials Tutorial 1 - Item Creation Tutorial 2 - Player/Event Interaction Tutorial 3 - Cinematic Dialogue Event Tutorial 4 - Changing Scenes MSE Tutorial 1 - Let's go shopping! More tutorials can be found in the ORK Wiki. Licences and prices You'll find the shop, information on the licences and prices here: >click< http://rpg-kit.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, that's it for the official part It's been some hard months developing this - I hope you'll find it useful and that a lot of great RPGs will be developed. To make one thing clear at the beginning: ORK is NOT designed for MMO's, it could be adapted for this use, but it's not planned yet. ORK is a very complex tool with a great amount of new possibilities for Unity - if you have any questions or are not sure if your game idea can be realized with ORK, just ask me (in this thread, or send me a PM or >mail<). I'll be happy to help That's it for now - enjoy. Cheers! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Latest versions: ORK 1.2.7, MSE 1.0.10 See the >changelog< for all changes in this version or visit the ORK Wiki. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NFL Owners Approve Helmet Rule, Eliminate Tuck Rule
NFL owners are approving some noteworthy rule changes for 2013. It will now be a 15-yard penalty if a player makes forcible contact with the crown of his helmet when outside the tackle box, whether runner or tackler. Competition Committee Chairman Rich McKay says the new rule will take some adjustment on the players' part.
The helmet rule passed by a 31-to-1 margin at the owners meetings, with only the Cincinnati Bengals voting against it. The league is also getting rid of the tuck rule. It will now be ruled a fumble rather than an incomplete pass when a quarterback loses control of the ball while trying to bring it back to his body after a pump fake. That change also passed by a large majority. The league is also changing a rule that will now allow illegally challenged plays by coaches to still be reviewed.

Use this page to discuss script 1994 confluencewiki: syntax highlighting for Atlassian Confluence wiki
- Add constructive comments, bug reports, or discuss improvements (see the guideline).
- Do not document the script here (the author should do that on vim.org).
- This page may be out of date: check the script's vim.org page above, and its release notes.
Making Vim automatically recognize Confluence docsEdit
I prefer to edit my confluence documents in Vim instead of the built-in confluence editor.
Sometimes instead of posting half completed documents back to confluence I save them on my local machine. To have Vim automatically recognize them I add an entry to
~/.vim/filetype.vim to automatically handle them. Instead of creating a custom file extension for Vim to recognize, I have it parse the file for the word confluence in the document. Instead of having to have all my confluence pages show the word confluence in the rendered version, the hack is to add hidden text to the top of your confluence files that won't show up when you are in viewing mode on confluence but does when you edit. Just add
to the top of the doc.
The following
~/.vim/filetype.vim entry reads in the first line and regex searches for the word confluence and if found sets syntax type confluencewiki.
au BufNewFile,BufRead * if getline(1) =~ 'confluence'| setfiletype confluencewiki | endif
You can always set the filetype while you are editing with the command
:set filetype=confluencewiki
to syntax highlight the current buffer.
Open the appropriate Vim runtime syntax menu file for editing. For me it was
Find the in between space where your entry should go (they are incremented by 10s so you have 9 in between spaces).
This applies generally to any syntax that isn't bundled with Vim, but if you wanted to add support for the confluencewiki syntax you downloaded from here, the alphabetic-orderingly appropriate space is:
an 50.20.370 &Syntax.C.Config.Generic\ Config\ file :cal SetSyn("conf")<CR> an 50.20.380 &Syntax.C.CRM114 :cal SetSyn("crm")<CR>
and you would add a line with numbering in between so that it now looks like:
an 50.20.370 &Syntax.C.Config.Generic\ Config\ file :cal SetSyn("conf")<CR> an 50.20.375 &Syntax.C.Confluence :cal SetSyn("confluencewiki")<CR> an 50.20.380 &Syntax.C.CRM114 :cal SetSyn("crm")<CR>
Save the file. Restart Vim in GUI mode – this applies to MacVim as well. It should now show up in the Syntax filetypes listing and presuming you added the
.vim/syntax/confluencewiki.vim file correctly, you can now select that syntax type for the current document.
Since these files are owned by the installation package, you'll have to redo this if you reinstall or add a new version as it will overwrite all this.
Having incomplete
{note:title} some notes here
{info} blocks can cause your Vim buffer to seem hung. I haven't investigated why, but opening the doc in another text editor and properly closing the block seems to enable Vim to go back to functioning properly. I have to kill the process for the hung buffer though. I can also kill the process, open Vim again, turn off syntax highlighting, edit the document with the malformed note block to fix it, and then turn syntax highlighting back on.
Marnix Klooster says: At least in version 0.1.0, I have the same problem using
{mockup:Some nice dialog mock-up|1}, which is generated by the Confluence plugin for Balsamiq (see http://support.balsamiq.com/customer/portal/articles/113837 for details). Vim doesn't hang for me, but it becomes very slow every time this piece of text scrolls into view. As a workaround, I've hacked the
syntax match confluenceTag line to use the simpler
"{\%(\w\|-\)\+\([:|]\([^:|}]*\)\)*}" regex. Everything seems to still work. However, this is my first vim syntax file experience. :-)
Wiki syntax editor deprecated in version 4.0+Edit
According to Atlassian, the wiki syntax editing is not a gui feature, but they do allow you to paste in wiki syntax and have it autoconvert it to Rich Text so this plugin should still be useful for local editing.
I've been using this for about a year now and love it. --March 8, 2012

Laryngectomy is surgery to remove all or part of the larynx (voice box) in your throat.
Complete laryngectomy; Partial laryngectomy
Laryngectomy is major surgery that is done in the hospital. Before surgery you will receive general anesthesia. This will make you asleep and unable to feel pain.
Total laryngectomy removes the whole larynx. Part of your pharynx my be taken out as well. Your pharynx is the tube air moves through from your nose. It connects with your larynx.
There are many less invasive surgeries to remove part of the larynx.
The surgery takes 5 to 9 hours.
Most often, laryngectomy is done to treat cancer of the larynx. It is also done to treat:
Risks for any surgery are:
Risks for this surgery are:
You will have many doctor visits and medical tests before you have surgery. Some of these are:
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You will need to stay in the hospital for several days after surgery.
After the procedure, you will be groggy and will not be able to speak. An oxygen mask will be on your stoma. It's important to keep your head raised, rest a lot, and move your legs from time to time to improve blood flow. Keeping blood moving reduces your risk of getting a blood clot.
You can use warm compresses to reduce pain around your cut. Your nurse will give you pain medicine.
You will receive nutrition through an IV (a tube that goes into a vein) and tube feedings. Tube feedings are given through a tube that goes through your nose and into your esophagus (feeding tube).
You may be allowed to swallow food as soon as 2 to 3 days after surgery. But, it is more common to wait 5 to 7 days after your surgery to start eating through your mouth.
Your trachea drain will be removed in 2 to 3 days. You will be taught how to care for your tracheostomy tube and stoma. You will learn how to safely shower and swim. You must be careful not to let water enter through your stoma.
Speech rehabilitation with a speech therapist will help you relearn how to speak.
You will need to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for about 6 weeks. You may slowly resume your normal, light activities.
Follow up with your doctor as often as your doctor says you need to.
Your wounds will take about 2 to 3 weeks to heal. You can expect full recovery in about a month. Many times, removal of the larynx will take out all the cancer or injured material. People learn how to change their lifestyle and live without their voice box.

Flames Fall to Gamecocks at Columbia, S.C. Regional
|Outfielder Justin Sizemore had two hits, including a three-run home run, Saturday evening.
The South Carolina Gamecocks led from start to finish, en route to a 19-3 win over the Liberty Flames in Game 4 of the Columbia, S.C. Regional at Carolina Stadium, Saturday evening.
Liberty falls to 35-28 on the year and will play the Clemson Tigers in an elimination game, tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. The Gamecocks' win halts a seven-game Flames' winning streak. Tomorrow's game is scheduled for broadcast on ESPN3.
South Carolina, the regional host who entered the week ranked as high as No. 14 in the nation, moves to 41-18 on the season and will play the winner of Liberty/Clemson at 7 p.m., tomorrow evening.
South Carolina, the visiting team on the scoreboard, staked itself to a 3-0 edge in the top of the game's opening inning. With one out, third baseman Chase Vergason singled and shortstop Joey Pankake reached on a fielder's choice ground ball. Designated hitter LB Dantzler then walked to load the bases. After forcing out a runner at home plate for the second out of the inning, three consecutive bases-loaded walks plated Gamecocks' runners for a three-run lead.
Liberty moved two runners into scoring position in the bottom of the second with no outs, only to come away empty. Second baseman Bryan Aanderud was hit by a pitch to open the frame and moved to third on a double into the left-center field gap by left fielder Justin Sizemore. But, South Carolina starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery struck out the next three Flames to end the threat and the inning.
In the top of the third, the Gamecocks added to their advantage. Catcher Grayson Greiner led off the inning with a single and advanced to second on a single by first baseman Kyle Martin.

Center fielder Tanner English followed with his first home run of the year for a 7-0 advantage.
The Gamecocks extended their lead with a two-run home run in the fifth and a sacrifice fly in the sixth. With a man aboard in the fifth, second baseman Max Schrock hit his sixth round tripper of the year. In the sixth, a sacrifice fly by left fielder Graham Saiko made it, 10-0.

NRA Task Force Reports On Arming Schools
A task force for the National Rifle Association is recommending training and arming designated members of school staffs. The NRA has floated the idea before but established a task force to study the issue further. Former Congressman Asa Hutchinson, chairman of the NRA task force, said the proposal seeks to prevent school shootings. The Arkansas Republican, a former director of the DEA, also called for increased mental health screening.
The NRA has been scrambling to respond to growing public and political pressure since the deadly mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Mark Mattioli, whose son James was killed in the Sandy Hook melee, appeared at a news conference with Hutchinson. He applauded the call for increased mental health screening and said politics should be set aside in the national debate over guns. Mattioli argued that the focus should be on "real solutions" that will make schools safer.

GSA Awards Contract for Middle River Station
October 27, 2006
Contact: Maryanne Beatty (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded the sale of Middle River Station, the former historic World War II Glenn L. Martin Manufacturing plant, to the "Middle River Station Development, LLC" of Baltimore, Maryland for $37.5 million.
"GSA is pleased to be able to make the contract award of this historic property to the Middle River Station Development LLC," said David L. Winstead, GSA's Commissioner for Public Buildings. "A refurbished Middle River Station can be truly catalytic to local and regional development, which, in turn, will bring significant economic benefits for the area's inhabitants."
The former plant, located only 13 miles northeast of the city of Baltimore, sits on 50 acres strategically near several main transportation arteries and is near a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. It is listed on the Maryland Historical Trust's Register and is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
GSA's Office of Real Property Disposal managed the sale process of the Middle River Station. For more information about GSA's auction process or future sales, visit www.auctionrp.com or the home page at www.gsa.gov/realpropertydisposal.

Mariners activate Iwakuma - May 3, 2014
Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - The Seattle Mariners activated pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma from the 15-day disabled list to start Saturday's game against the Houston Astros.
Iwakuma, who finished third in voting for last year's American League Cy Young Award, was placed on the 15-day disabled list on March 29 with a torn extensor tendon in his right middle finger. He did not appear in a game this spring.
The 2013 All-Star selection went 14-6 with a 2.66 ERA in 33 starts last year.
To make room for Iwakuma on the roster, the Mariners optioned pitcher Lucas Luetge to Triple-A Tacoma. In three relief appearances with Seattle this season he has posted a 7.71 ERA.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 12:44am
IL High School Insider Joe Lombardi, the author of the "Lax with Joe" blog at LaxLessons.com, focuses on the Hudson Valley/Long Island/Connecticut region. Joe is also an analyst for the MSG Varsity television network and is the primary author of the new edition of "Lacrosse for Dummies," which was released last year.
During much of the growth of lacrosse in Connecticut, the battle for the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference championship was a perennial two-horse race between Wilton and New Canaan.
Legendary coach Guy Whitten's Wilton teams won 13 FCIAC titles in his 26 years as Wilton coach, a run that ended in 1995. In the years that Wilton didn't win the county crown, coach Howard Benedict's New Canaan teams usually did.
But then came the rise of the Darien Blue Wave under Jeff Brameier, who starts his 28th year as coach.
While Darien, with 14 college committed players, is clearly the top team talent wise entering the season, that does not necessarily mean it is a lock to win the FCIAC.
Brameier knows that full well. After all, while the Blue Wave have won six straight state titles, there have been three different FCIAC champions the last three years.
Last year, Darien fell to Greenwich 8-7 in the FCIAC semifinals after beating the Cardinals 9-2 a week earlier.
"The FCIAC has had major shifts in coaching changes in the past five years," said Brameier in an interview with LaxLessons.com. "With that comes a timetable for change and program developments that allow the new coaches a chance to establish themselves and build from the youth up.
"New Canaan, Wilton and Greenwich will continue to be outstanding established programs that will always vie for league and state titles as well as play formidable schedules outside of the state. McMahon was young last year, but looks to be strong.
"Fairfield-Ludlowe returns stronger with the return of the Errett twins from Trinity Pawling. St. Joe's is becoming an established stronghold in class S and surely more and more competitive in the upper tier of the FCIAC. Staples is starting the feel the effects of Paul McNulty's experience as was demonstrated by the best ever season last year.
"All in all – the league is much stronger overall than it has ever been in overall balance."
Greenwich senior midfielder Patrick Robben told LaxLessons.com that he has seen improvement each year.
"It seems that every year each team gets better than it was the year before and the teams that never really made an impact in the past are now going out and beating some of the top FCIAC competition," Robben said. "Some of the teams that we will be contending with are obviously Darien and New Canaan but also Wilton with their strong senior class as well as Staples and Ridgefield."
Garden City is the best Long Island team at the start of the season.
That's the consensus at this point, at least.
Will that be the case a week from now?
If it is, Trojans coach Steve Finnell will have to be happy because his team has a couple of big tests to start the season this week.
First, Garden City opens the season at Syosset on Tuesday. The teams have split their two meetings the previous two seasons.
Then, the Trojans host Smithtown West in an 11 a.m. Saturday showdown.
The Bulls are led defensively by Cornell-bound Jordan Stevens and Army-bound Brendan Madarasz. But it's Smithtown West's attack that has been getting most of the attention of late.
"Our strength this year will be our attack," said in a Q&A with LaxLessons. "We return three very good players at attack who have loads of talent and chemistry with each other. Kyle Keenan, James Pannell and Matt Schultz will be a huge part of our team this year. As a defense it makes us better everyday playing against them. Another strength this year will be our experience, we return many guys who have gotten quality minutes in big games which always pays off.
Finnell told LaxLessons that he scheduled preseason scrimmages against such powerful squads as St.Anthony's, Delbarton and Hicksville in preparation for the season-opening non-league games against Syosset and Smithtown West coming up this week.
Judging by the amount of interest it's generated, you might think that when Darien visits John Jay in Cross River, N.Y., on Thursday at 4:30 p.m., it will be a season-opening game.
Actually, it's a scrimmage. But because the teams are both nationally ranked in the Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse Top 25 (Darien at No. 3, John Jay at No. 21) and the schools are located just 20 miles apart, fans are a bit disappointed the teams are not playing for real. Especially when you consider that between them, they have a total of 26 college committed players.
As a result, the scrimmage has become eagerly anticipated as evidenced by the more than 200 comments in a thread comparing the two teams on the LaxLessons.com blog.
John Jay and Darien last played in the regular season in 2006 when the Indians beat Darien 10-8 to hand the Blue Wave their only loss it what wound up being a 21-1 season.
