We recognize that dizziness and imbalance are troubling and life changing conditions and wish to get you on the road to recovery in the most efficient manner possible. Our team of experts comes from an array of specialties and disciplines who practice within the main Froedtert campus and satellite facilities. We take a multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and treatment of dizziness. You may be seen by one or more professionals including one of our ENT physicians, specialized nurse practitioners, audiologists or vestibular therapists.

If you wish to be evaluated in the clinic, please call (414) 805-5625. In order to best serve your individual needs, we ask that you complete a dizziness questionnaire (PDF). This form will be reviewed by our vestibular experts to determine the best plan of care. Once the form is received and reviewed we will call you to set up an appointment with what we feel would be the best initial step in your evaluation.
Although dizziness is commonly felt to be a condition of the ears, it is more often than not, a symptom of other medical conditions. Based upon your questionnaire we may recommend an initial evaluation by different professionals such as a neurologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, pulmonologist, or behavioral psychologist. If you have current issues with high blood pressure, headache/migraine, diabetes, anxiety, depression or sleep apnea we recommend you have those conditions thoroughly evaluated and treated by your current medical team as these are common causes of dizziness.
At the time we call, you will be informed whether testing may or may not be required prior to the visit. Please forward any records specifically related to your history of dizziness such as hearing tests, balance tests, CT or MRI scans, operative reports, and office notes along with the history form.
We look forward to serving you!

President Obama's budget puts House Democrats in bind
So much for Obama's 3 dimensional chess strategy...
President Obama's budget puts House Democrats in bind
Democrats have used a clear and potent attack against Republicans in recent elections: Dont vote for them because theyll cut your Social Security and Medicare.
But using that playbook next year, as Democrats had planned, just got a lot more complicated.
President Barack Obama blurred the lines this month when he embraced entitlement cuts of his own as part of his budget plan. And Democrats now fear their leaders tack to the center could blunt one of their sharpest weapons in the battle for the House of Representatives next year.
The concern is that Republicans will have a ready retort your own president proposed entitlement cuts and force Democrats on the defensive. The issue is critical to senior voters, who turn out in disproportionately large numbers in midterm elections.
I think it does make it more difficult for Democrats in the next election, said Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan, who occupies a swing district in Minnesota. I would think that Republicans will say this cycle that if you want your Medicare and Social Security cut, thats what Obama wants to do. And I imagine thats what Republicans will campaign on.
I fear his legacy will be tied to his quest for the Grand Bargain, the elusive holy grail for centrist politicians, and further blur the lines between Repubs and Democrats in the eyes of low info voters.
If House Democratic members want to be very sure to end up on the right side of the Big 3 in 2014, they should all sign the Grayson-Takano letter as the first step to rallying the Democratic base for the upcoming midterm election.

Today's Running Tip: Never Flip the Bird to Zuma
Political science student Chumani Maxwele is suing the state for R1.4 million for wrongful arrest.
He was detained in February 2010 and quizzed about his political affiliations after showing a rude hand sign to a convoy carrying President Jacob Zuma, while jogging.
"The rifle bag was placed on (Maxwele's) head so as to eliminate the possibility of him seeing the route that the president uses to get to his residence," lawyers for [Police Minister] Mthethwa reportedly said in the court papers.
"This was done purely as a security mechanism."
The Sunday Times reported that, according to the state lawyers, Maxwele's hands were also cable-tied behind his back for "his own safety."
Maxwele had to spend the night in jail dressed only in his running shorts and a vest. He's suing for what amounts to $142,000 U.S.

Searched the cookware thread and couldn't find a similar topic, so looking for some help from your collective wisdom. A visiting relative insisted on making lunch, and used a stainless steel pot (inside also stainless steel) to make a steamer. The assembly was a small glass bowl used as a stand to elevate a large glass bowl. We steamed some stuff for about 2 hours by filling the bottom with water and putting on a lid. Unfortunately, I now have a ring at the bottom of the pot, in same size and shape as the small glass bowl that was touching the pan. I used a paste of baking soda + water immediately, but the stain hasn't budged a bit. It seems to resemble a hard water stain.
Any suggestions? CLR? Steel wool? Thanks for your help.

Dropping "Anchor Baby"
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Among the many derogatory labels that have been deployed by anti-immigrant activists to shape the public debate over immigration, few are as ugly or as potent as the term "anchor baby." Used to describe a child of undocumented immigrants born in the United States and thus entitled to American citizenship, it's a nasty turn of phrase that simultaneously dehumanizes a child and impugns the integrity of the parents, who are presumed to have jumped the border just before birth so that they might benefit from their baby's U.S. citizenship. For demagogues, "anchor babies" are a very serious issue -- one California anti-immigration activist told the Los Angeles Times in 2009: "It's invasion by birth canal."
It's long been understood, however, that the "anchor baby" phenomenon was a myth. Indeed, a child born to non-citizen parents can not sponsor them for citizenship until he or she turns 21, and even then there are legal hurdles aplenty. But the term has persisted in the media as state legislatures and even some congressional Republicans have pushed "anchor baby" legislation aimed at denying citizenship to children of illegal immigrants, citing dubious legal interpretations of the 14th Amendment. Newly released data, however, confirms what we already suspected was the truth: "anchor babies" are a myth.
A Pew Hispanic Center report released yesterday found that of all the undocumented immigrants who became parents between March 2009 and March 2010, 91 percent arrived in the U.S. before 2007. Put simply, those immigrants came here for reasons other than quickie-citizenship for their offspring. As The American Prospect's Adam Serwer wrote: "The data suggests a really shocking conclusion: People come to the U.S. to get jobs, not to have babies."
That's not going to stop the activists who popularized the term from using it -- they have their agendas, after all -- and it's not likely to disappear from Fox News, where just last month Bill O'Reilly decried the "misuse" of the Constitution by "foreigners" who "sneak across our borders to give birth." [The O'Reilly Factor, 1/6/11] But the new data should impel the more responsible corners of the press to cease the blithe repetitions of the term and allowing demagogues to tip the rhetorical debate in their favor.

Great Barrier Reef
Your Mission
Be a Great Barrier Reef ecotour leader!
Eco What?
Gday, mate! The Land Down Underthats Australia to you, seppohas a problem. The government wants to give tourists ecotours of the Great Barrier Reef, but it needs qualified tour guides. Shes apples if youre at the reef all daysunshine and all the snorkeling you can handle (in your free time, of course) None of us Aussies has a clue about being an ecotour guide. Why dont you apply?
Work with a mate on this assignment. Your goal is to convince the Australian government that you would be the most qualified people to give ecotours of the Great Barrier Reef. Whats an ecotour, you say? Learn more about this relatively new field at http://www.ecotourism.org.
Reef Brief
The Great Barrier Reef lies off the east coast of Australia. It is the worlds largest coral reef. Coral reefs have been called the tropical rain forests of the ocean. The Great Barrier Reef, a World Heritage Area, is a popular tourist site, as well as an important environmental resource. To get the job as ecotour-guide, youll need to know a lot about the reef, and about how to visit it in an environmentally sound way. You can find helpful information at Trishans Page of Oz (http://www.ozramp.net.au/~senani/barrier.htm) or at the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency site (www.env.qld.gov.au/environment/coast/reef/), or by going to other sites.
Take notes, because youre going to be making a brochure to promote your venture.
Creating Your Brochure
Here are some suggestions on what you might want to include in your brochure:
A map of Australia and the Great Barrier Reef. (Make sure your map includes latitude and longitude, and TODALSS, a cartographers way of remembering these map elements: Title, Orientation, Data, Author, Legend, Scale, Source.)
A description of a coral reef: What is a coral reef? Why are coral reefs important?
The reason why the Great Barrier Reef can be called a region. What are the unique characteristics of this region?
A list of
some of the species that inhabit the Great Barrier Reef, including various kinds of fish, coral, mollusks (such as clams and sea slugs), seaweed, birds, sea snakes, and sea turtles;
natural and human-induced threats to the Great Barrier Reef; and
things people can do to help save the reef.
Tips for responsible techniques and practices for marine ecotourism.
some of the species that inhabit the Great Barrier Reef, including various kinds of fish, coral, mollusks (such as clams and sea slugs), seaweed, birds, sea snakes, and sea turtles;
natural and human-induced threats to the Great Barrier Reef; and
things people can do to help save the reef.
For design tips and a checklist of more items your brochure could feature, go to the About.com Website (in Web Links). Make sure all the information you include focuses on ecotourism.
Making Your Pitch
Use what you have learned about the environmental importance of coral reefs and the benefits of ecotourism to convince the Australian government to hire your team to give ecotours of the Great Barrier Reef. Explain the ways in which humans are modifying this region and what people can do to help save the reef.
Taking Action!
You dont have to live near the coast to have an effect on a coral reef. To find out what steps the Environmental Protection Agency is taking to protect coral reefs and how you can contribute to this effort, go to http://www.epa.gov/owow/oceans/factsheets/fact4.html.
Consider participating in the annual International Coastal Cleanup.

Best Prix-Fixe Meal 2007. When a restaurant like Meritage offers three-course meals that would normally cost from $45 to $55 for just $25, we take notice. Our prix-fixe menu includes our bestselling dishes, explains chef/owner Chris Vergara. The special dinners, offered from Tuesday to Friday between 5 and 6:30 pm, include a choice from three appetizers, three entrees and two desserts. You'll find dishes such as spaghettini pomodoro, sauteed King salmon, and grilled chicken paillard on the summer menu (it changes seasonally), but we'd suggest the roasted Chioggia red-and-white colored beets with goat cheese and truffle oil to start, and duck confit with frisée, mache, raspberries, toasted pine nuts, and balsamic vinaigrette for the main course. Perhaps some summer fruit for dessert and it's a meal fit for a king, especially a frugal one.

ARCOS Dance Announces Original Multimedia Production 'The Warriors: A Love Story'
A New Collaboration with The Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe
From an ARCOS Dance press release...
ARCOS Dance announces a new, original, evening-length multimedia performance in collaboration with the Center for Contemporary Arts (CCA), February 8-10 and 15-17, 2013 in Santa Fe. "The Warriors: A Love Story" (now accepting donations to increase the scope of the project, scroll to the bottom for full details) is inspired by the lives of J. Glenn Gray, a Colorado philosophy professor and WWII veteran, and his wife Ursula, a German survivor of the 1945 Allied bombing of Dresden, Germany, whose passion throughout her life was dance.
J. Glenn's book on modern warfare, "The Warriors: Reflections on Men in Battle" (1959), remains relevant today; this ARCOS production explores timeless concepts of human potential for acts of profound destruction and creation in times of war. Through the personal yet universal theme of family legacy, "The Warriors" presents audiences with thought-provoking instances of beauty and horror, seeking to honor those affected by war and those acting to end it. The signature visceral, athletic choreography of ARCOS Artistic Director Curtis Uhlemann and Associate Artistic Director Erica Gionfriddo provides dynamic interaction with original script, musi, and video by ARCOS Multimedia Director Eliot Gray Fisher. Through "The Warriors," Fisher, the grandson of J. Glenn and Ursula, chronicles his search to understand his grandparents' complex history and the importance of its memory.
"The Warriors" focuses on a mix of art forms to tell its story: dance, theater, set, lighting design, video, and music each hold an important presence. "We are attempting to create a world-class production through the many facets of multimedia and stage theater," said Uhlemann. "We not only intend to tell a love story through the lives of three different individuals and their connections as creators, thinkers, and kin, but also hope to evoke an emotional response from the audience through use of vintage media footage, war propaganda, live theatrical action, and more,.
"We are especially interested in the elements of recorded video, audio, and live performance working together to complement and enrich one another, allowing each medium to appear to the audience in a fresh, new way," said Fisher.
Inspired by the CCA's Muñoz-Waxman Gallery as a non-traditional theater space, and ARCOS's intention to tour the show at a variety of venues, minimalist design interacts with video and still imagery to continually transform the set. Of the performance, CCA Curator Erin Elder said, "I'm really excited about hosting ARCOS's new production. We're interested in presenting new, genre-bending work that addresses the contemporary human condition. 'The Warriors' is all of this and more. ARCOS is on the leading edge of experimental performance in Santa Fe—they're talented, smart and put on a great show. We are thrilled about this new project."
The staging is primarily painted white, adorned with ever-changing projections to provide photorealistic environments, giving each component of the set multiple identities, lives and appearances to fit different scenes. The directors will also make use of the CCA Gallery's light brick walls and the opportunity the space provides to present pockets of sets, by varying performers' distance from the audience and "focusing on movement, level, and dimensionality of staging," added Gionfriddo.
An expansion from ARCOS's 2012 multimedia production '500 Words or Less,' Uhlemann said this year's show is "a heavy evolutionary shift from last year; we're taking on an extremely serious subject by setting 'The Warriors' in the the World War II era and addressing the bombing of Dresden. Because there are now very few living survivors left—a generation of men and women whose voices are almost extinct—we feel that time has ignited an additional layer of importance in telling their stories and honoring their memories. Working with Eliot as the writer also gives a unique opportunity to imbue a universal, historical story with a sense of the personal."
The 68th anniversary of the bombing of Dresden occurs February 13th-15th, 2013, during the run of"'The Warriors" at the CCA. ARCOS directors hope not only to inspire awareness and suggest connections to contemporary military campaigns, but also to encourage consideration of past and present indistinctions between civilians and combatants (which concerned J. Glenn in his lifetime).
Dancers will explore concepts of love and war, passion and disgust, moving at close quarters with the audience and interacting with video projections. Vignettes include a dance inspired by a passage from J. Glenn's real-life diary, in which he finds families taking refuge in a cave. Another sequence culminates in a cellar with bombing above, set to the sound of an air raid siren. The finale features Uhlemann and Gionfriddo in a gentle duet. "This is a darker multimedia show than we created last year, but, as with life in general, there is also lightness and beauty," said Gionfriddo.
Live musicians, including Fisher, appear throughout the performance along with recorded sound design. The storyline follows Fisher as the composer of a piece of music for his grandmother's memorial service, transporting the audience through the lives of his grandparents and their generation. Addressing viewers as fellow mourners, "The Warriors" touches on how all people are affected by the ripples of warfare. Gionfriddo explained: "The theme is universal in that almost everyone will be able to relate to the loss of a loved one or someone close to them, including the loss of Ursula, the woman they have gotten to know through the course of the show."
Drawn from Fisher's own attempt to understand his grandparents' history, "The Warriors" is a look at how the war shaped their lives during and after World War II, and as a result, Fisher's own life in the present day. "The plot is a marriage of words and ideas, mind, body and heart; it is about the reconciliation and radical anti-war act of falling in love—of taking traumatic experiences, observations, and questioning in wartime to make and spread beauty in the world, leading eventually to peace," said Fisher. "What I take away from my grandparents' story is how small acts everyday, the ways we experience the world and interact with others and the environment around us, are ways to seek an end to violence on a larger scale."
This project is receiving funding from a USA Projects campaign, a prestigious microphilanthropy donation platform and a program of the nonprofit grantmaking and advocacy organization United States Artists. The first funding site dedicated exclusively to supporting accomplished artists working in the United States, USA Projects has a funding success rate of more than 75% and has helped artists from thirty states, including New Mexico, realize creative projects with contributions from more than 14,000 individual donors.
All artists seeking funding via USA Projects have been previously recognized for the caliber and impact of their work as among the most innovative happening today; eligibility is open only to honorees and grantees from prominent international, national, and regional arts organizations and fellowships. 'The Warriors' has also received a grant from New Mexico Artists Match Fund.

Nature's Answer to Stronger, more Intense Pleasure!
This Swedish born product boasts the ability to show you "the ropes," which refers to the contractions that occur during ejaculation. The more ejaculatory fluid you have to release, the longer and more intense your orgasm will feel. You don't need length to experience a mind-blowing orgasm, but you do need an increase in seminal fluid - you need Ropex!
ROPEX® contains the main ingredient Pollexi, which includes a proprietary blend of Pollis Seclecereale, Pollis Phleupratence, and Pollis Zeamais. For decades, successful sexual enhancement products and prostate supplements in Asia and Europe have use Pollexil to induce more intense orgasms and improve health.
Clinical studies show that combining the all-natural extracts in ROPEX® causes longer, more intense orgasms by improving prostate function, by reducing prostate inflammation due to BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia), and by increasing seminal fluid released during orgasm.

GoDomains can arrange to move most gTLD (generic Top Level Domain) domain names from their current registrar to our preferred ICANN accredited registrar.
The main requirement to initiate a registrar transfer is to have access to the current administrative contact or "owner" email address listed against the gTLD domain. When we initiate a registrar transfer at your request, an email will be sent to the current email contact. This person will need to be able to access this email message and reply to confirm that the registrar transfer is legitimate and authorised.
It is also possible that your domain is currently in REGISTRAR-LOCK status with the current registrant, which will mean it is not possible to transfer the domain. You'll need to get your current registrar to remove the lock, if one is present. (We will notify you if this is a problem for your domain.)
The change of registrar takes around 7 days assuming the email is replied to in a timely way.
To initiate a transfer, we require payment of a minimum of one year's license fee (renewal) which will be applied to your domain once the transfer is successful. The general charge for this is AUD$55.00 for a one year renewal/transfer. Cheaper per-annum rates are available for longer terms - $88.00 for 2 years, and $33.00 per annum thereafter (up to a maximum of 10 years into the future).
Once the domain registration has been transferred to us as registrar, we will assign a Domain Password specific to this domain to allow you to securely manage any future updates to your domain. This includes services such as re-delegation (changing hosting providers) as well as contact detail management (i.e. ensuring your postal address, phone/fax details and so on are kept current).
All domains moved to GoDomains will also benefit from our renewal service, where we will notify you approximately two months prior to the expiry of your gTLD domain expiry date and advise you of the then current renewal conditions, with renewal notices sent by both email and postal mail.

Science / Periodic Table of Elements / Argon (Ar): Atomic number: 18, Atomic mass: 39.948 g.mol -1, Electronegativity: unknown, Density: 1.78.10 -3 g.cm -3 at 0 °C, Melting point: -189 °C, Boiling point: -185.7 °C, Vanderwaals radius: 0.192 nm, Ionic radius: unknown, Isotopes: 6, Electronis shell: [Ne] 3s23p6, Energy of first ionisation: 1520 kJ.mol -1, Energy of second ionisation: 2665.8 kJ.mol -1, Energy of third ionisation: 3931 kJ.mol -1, Discovered by: Sir Ramsay in 1894. Argon was suspected to be present in air by Henry Cavendish in 1785 but wasn't discovered until 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay. Argon is the third noble gas, in period 8, and it makes up about 1% of the Earth's atmosphere. Argon has approximately the same solubility as oxygen and it is 2.5 times as soluble in water as nitrogen . This chemically inert element is colorless and odorless in both its liquid and gaseous forms. It is not found in any compounds. This gas is isolated through liquid air fractionation since the atmosphere contains only 0.94% argon. The Martian atmosphere in contrast contains 1.6% of Ar-40 and 5 ppm Ar-36. World production exceeds 750.000 tonnes per year, the supply is virtually inexhaustible. Applications: Argon does not react with the filament in a lightbulb even under high temperatures, so is used in lighting and in other cases where diatomic nitrogen is an unsuitable (semi-)inert gas. Argon is perticularly important for the metal industry, being used as an inert gas shield in arc welding and cutting. Other uses incude non-reactive blanket in the manufacture of titanium and other reactive elements and as a protective atmosphere for growing silicon and germanium crystals. Argon-39 has been used for a number of applications, primarily ice coring. It has also been used for ground water dating. Argon is also used in technical SCUBA diving to inflate the drysuit, due to its nonreactive, heat isolating effect. Argon as the gap between the panes of glass provides better insulation because it is a poorer conductor of heat than ordinary air. The most exotic use of argon is in the tyre of luxury cars. Argon in the environment: In earth's atmosphere, Ar-39 is made by cosmic ray activity, primarily with Ar-40. In the subsurface environment, it is also produced through neutron-capture by K-39 or alpha emission by calcium. Argon-37 is produced from the decay of calcium-40, the result of subsurface nuclear explosions. It has a half-life of 35 days.

CHIPPEWA DISTRICT -- A successful campaign has taken place for the bond issue that will be on the ballot Tuesday, according to the superintendent.
Calling it an "open, honest and engaging campaign," Jack Higgins concluded his report at Monday's board meeting saying, "I think we will be victorious."
The board kicked off its campaign for the 6.3-mill bond at the Rogues' Hollow Festival in August, and has since continued it with community meetings, building tours, mailings, weekly letters from Higgins (which are posted on www.chipbondissue.org.), door to door campaigning and an informational DVD with a building tour.
According to Higgins, the building tours provide an opportunity for residents to see firsthand the need for the bond issue.
"I'm feeling very positive about the status and where we're at in the campaign," Higgins said. "We've really been able to get the message out about this."
The bond issue concerns state funding from the Ohio School Facilities Commission for which the district is qualified. The commission bases projects on building assessments, enrollment projections and local input.
The OSFC has a two-thirds rule in regard to whether to renovate or replace buildings. If the cost to renovate exceeds two-thirds of the cost to replace the building, then replacement is recommended. For the Chippewa District, the OSFC recommends replacing Hazel Harvey Elementary School and Chippewa Middle School and renovating Chippewa High School.
A 14-member community committee analyzed the facts as well as toured the school buildings over a period of three months. The committee conducted a community survey that gathered input about possible facility solutions that determined the desired action would be to go forward with the OSFC recommendations.
OSFC will fund 45 percent of the project, provided local funds are secured for the other 55 percent. For the district, 45 percent of the project equates to $18.6 million. The board is pushing for residents to vote yes because if they do not take the OSFC funding opportunity now, funding will go to the next district on the list able to qualify.
Also, due to the older condition of the buildings, they eventually will need to be replaced. Without the OSFC funding, the entire cost could have to be paid through local taxes.
According to Higgins, a phone poll determined 45 percent of residents are in favor of the bond issue.
"Residents appreciate getting $18.6 million of their tax money back to the community," Higgins said.
According to him, the positive feedback could be because the board started the process of educating the community last December. The board held community engagement meetings even before the exact building recommendations were made.
"It's been an extensive process," board President Denise Edington said.
Edington said when the bond issue was brought to the table, the board made the decision to turn the issue over the voters.
"The board didn't want to turn away the opportunity (from the voters)," Edington said.
As for negative feedback, there are residents who are opposed to higher taxes due to personal financial situations and feeling simply as if new school buildings are not necessary.
"When you have a major issue that's going to affect people monetarily, there's going to be negative feedback," Higgins said. "It's basically a pocketbook issue."
There will be one more community meeting and building tour Thursday at 7 p.m. at Hazel Harvey.

Fun on the Run
Over the past few years, this city's comedy scene has been slowly siphoning fans away from the once-king-of-the-mountain music scene. But instead of fighting over young urbanites like two dogs battling over a dead rabbit, the Denver Fine Gentleman's Club is fusing the worlds of satire and song in the Too Much Funstival.
"It's all the best stuff that we want to see," says Funstival organizer Chris Charpentier. Combining bands like Harpoontang and Bad Weather California with such local comics as Ben Roy and Hippieman (along with a bouncy castle, dodgeball, free beer and live podcasts), the Too Much Funstival promises to deliver a top-shelf range of the sonic and the silly.
Over four days, the festival will host shows at venues across the city, starting at 8 p.m. tonight at the Meadowlark and concluding at Casselman's at 8 p.m. Sunday, with stops at City, O' City at 5 p.m. Friday; Curtis Park at noon Saturday (dodgeball); and Mouth House at 5 p.m. Saturday. Ticket prices vary from event to event but are typically $5 or less. For more information, visit face-book.com/toomuchfunstival.

Growing up in Iowa, surrounded by cornfields, I never imagined that I would be working in agriculture in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, at 6,000 feet above sea level! However, that is exactly what I found myself doing as I packed up my car and headed across the country to Soda Springs, Idaho.
The importance of agriculture for today's society is unmistakable. As the population grows, we find ourselves in need of producing more crops using the same amount of land. A commitment to sustainability and an effort to … Full Article »

Not the least cause for celebration at the election of Boris Johnson as Mayor of London was the prospect that the city, and the country, might finally see the back of Sir Ian Blair. Discredited after the Stockwell shooting, responsible for a string of PR disasters, unpopular with rank-and-file officers, hilariously accused of racism by the gruesome twosome of Ali Dizaei and Tarique Ghaffur, and now under investigation into how his skiing companion came to be awarded police contracts worth £3million, it should be relatively straightforward to scrape this disastrous commissioner off the Yard.
Boris had hinted that he would like nothing better than to see the back of the Met Commissioner - one might almost claim it was part of his manifesto - and despite an awkwardly-staged joint press conference shortly after the election it seems that he has been as good as his word. Yesterday it was revealed that BJ has been looking for ways to do the deed. Unfortunately, it might not prove quite so easy a task as was at first thought. An initial attempt to suspend Blair pending the results of the inquiry (as would have happened to any provincial chief constable, or any senior officer in the Met) has been rebuffed by his lawyers. And today we learn that the commissioner has decided to fight his corner, as usual, by clambering up onto a high horse.
According to the Guardian, Blair is worried that the developing spat between him and the mayor demonstrates that his position is becoming increasingly politicised. "I find that inappropriate," he adds.
That's a bit rich coming from him. Ian Blair has well nigh single-handedly turned the Metropolitan Police from an independent force to being the helmetted wing of New Labour. He owes his position to his consummate political gifts, and his mastery of fashionable ideological language, rather than any record fighting crime. Since being appointed, he has made himself available to ministers to speak out in favour of controversial policies from ID cards to 90 days detention without trial, intervening repeatedly in party politics. A constitutionally improper position for a public servant to occupy, but one which came naturally to him. He also forged a dangerously close alliance with Ken Livingstone which led, among other things, to Livingstone openly defending the right of police to shoot innocent people dead just in case.
A lot of touchy-feeling rhetoric about "inclusiveness" and high-profile diversity campaigns have gone hand in hand with a progressive spread of firearms and a culture of shoot-first impunity that reached its tragic apogee in the cold-blooded and (even if he had been a suspect) unnecessary shooting dead of Jean Charles de Menezes while held in a position of complete restraint. The aftermath of that terrible event saw Blair at his worst, blustering, arrogant, not troubling himself to check facts before smearing his force's victim, evasive in later enquiries, always looking for someone else to blame. His shamelessness revealed itself at its fullest after the Met was convicted of health and safety breaches over the Stockwell shooting. Small comfort to the De Menezes family, but calling for at least a show of contrition. Instead, in a churlish and distasteful statement, Blair claimed total vindication (at least of him personally) and announced that he would "continue to lead the Met in its increasingly successful efforts."
Livingstone stood loyally by him on that occasion, announcing the next day that police officers had been coming up to him proclaiming "we're with Ian". In fact he is by some distance the least popular Met commissioner in recorded history. Still, the crucial support of Ken Livingstone - which some might regard itself as inappropriate politicisation of Blair's office - showed how well the commissioner has played the game.
At least Tony Blair knew when the game was up and went with some dignity. Ian Blair, on the other hand, remains as convinced as he was on the day of the De Menezes verdict that he is the only man for the job. Indeed, if Boris Johnson, the elected Mayor, were able to remove him from office, Blair believes, this would be a "bad bargain". The Met commissioner has both national and international responsibilities, he contends. In short, he's far more important than Boris.
Blair will presumably be looking to the Home Secretary and his other political buddies to shore up his crumbling position. He's unlikely to be able to rely on his officers. On one police forum today, I found little sympathy. One detective opined,
I'm beyond caring about how Blair is despatched. He has overseen the demise of the Met and caused one cock up after another. If it takes a fallout with Boris to send him on his way, then so be it.
A sergeant added that Boris's scheme hardly resembled a "plot", "more like a public service". While another online officer was rejoicing that "this clown will soon be gone", but worried that his replacement might turn out to be another "politico idealistic high flyer with little experience of frontline policing, continuing the destruction of a once great and proud force".
It must be galling for Ian Blair, after building his whole career on pleasing New Labour ministers, to find the government he served so loyally starting to crumble, to find Tories winning elections. Still, the self-proclaimed "limpet" isn't intending to go any more quietly than Gordon Brown. "I will continue to stay in office, because that is my job," he said. Staying in office must indeed have become more-or-less a full time job for Commisioner Blair. London needs a police chief whose main priority is fighting crime, not fighting for his career.

Went to 2 plastics surgeons about a face lift. Both said I should get a chin implant along with the facelift. I have lost a lot of weight and I'm 60 years old. I'm second guessing the facelift at this time. I was wondering if I did ultherapy and the chin implant plus fat grafts down the road, would it work for the next best thing? Also witch should be done first and how long to wait between each treatment? Also how well does ultherapy work? Thank you for your advice Cher
Ulthera, Chin Implant and Fat Fillers. In Which Order Should I Do These Treatments?
Doctor Answers 6
Ultherapy and a Facelift are not comparable
Ultherapy and fat injections would be a relatively poor substitute for a facelift at 60 years of age. You are not going to substantially lift sagging skin by either of these techniques. Chin implants are commonly done at the same time as a facelift for a more defined jawline effect.
Learn more: http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com
Chin implant and Ultherapy
You should have the chin implant (if appropriate) and Ultherapy at the same setting, while you are under anesthesia. Should consider fat grafting at the same session or in a delayed fashion.
Best regards,
Dr. Karamanoukian

Ultherapy to be done before chin implant and fat transfer
Ideally, it is best to perform the deep focused ultrasound treatment of Ultherapy for facial tightening and lifting, then have the chin implant and fat transfer / grafting.

Ulthera instead of a facelift
Ulthera works great for select patients. It is not a "replacement" for a facelift. In San Antonio, I was the first to offer Ulthera and now have almost 2 years of experience with the treatment. In my experience, most patients who have lost a lot of weight, surgical facelift is a much better option. Do either of the surgeons you saw offer Ulthera? If not, I would seek out a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area who does perform Ulthera.
As far as chin implants go, I have had good success using fat grafting for the chin and that is something you may consider. If you are a candidate for the Ulthera, here in San Antonio this is what I would do:
- Ulthera and possibly Sculptra to the cheeks
- Fat Grafting of the cheeks and possibly chin
- If you still need more chin prominence after the above, then chin implant.
Good luck!

Ultherapy is a good procedure for some one who does not want surgery but is not ware near a good as a face lift
While Ultherapy works it only is about 35-50 % effective. If you want the results of a face lift and brow lift and eye lid surgery you need to have the more extensive surgery. If you are a candidate for a chin implant that would give you an additional spectacular result. When ever I do a brow lift and face lift and eye lid surgery I almost always add extensive fat grafting to the jaw line, the lips, the medial nasolabial fold, the check bones, the lateral eye brow and the temple. This is necessary to get the more youthful look you used to have. As we age there is soft tissue absorption and bone remodeling in these areas. This combination will give you the best results and make you look much more like you used to look when you were younger. If you are going to have a chin implant and fat grafting surgery it would be far better for you to have the Face lift, brow lift and eye lid surgery at the same time then have Ultherapy instead. Again I think Ultherapy is great but it certainly will not give the result of the surgery.
Ultherapy versus Facelift
Although I use Ultherapy frequently in my practice, it comes in as a distant second to a Facelift in terms of rejuvenating the lower face. At 60 years of age, my general inclination would be to second what your two previous Surgeons have told you. Consider the result you would like to have in a year and then work forward. If you are going to have surgery (chin implant), I would advise that you proceed with the Facelift at the same time. If you are sure you want to proceed with Ultherapy, I would recommend this procedure several months prior to considering fat transfer or Sculptra.

This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/).
This article concisely summarizes data on the action of one of the principal and best known growth factors, the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), in a mammalian organism exposed to radiation doses inducing acute radiation syndrome. Highlighted are the topics of its real or anticipated use in radiation accident victims, the timing of its administration, the possibilities of combining G-CSF with other drugs, the ability of other agents to stimulate endogenous G-CSF production, as well as of the capability of this growth factor to ameliorate not only the bone marrow radiation syndrome but also the gastrointestinal radiation syndrome. G-CSF is one of the pivotal drugs in the treatment of radiation accident victims and its employment in this indication can be expected to remain or even grow in the future.
The treatment of radiation accident victims has been in the focus of attention of investigators in many laboratories. Radiation accidents are fortunately infrequent but their health consequences are serious and they have the potential of resulting in large-scale events [
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF, molecular weight about 20,000) is a glycoprotein which regulates especially the production of neutrophils; it is produced by activated macrophages, endothelial cells and fibroblasts; using recombinant DNA technology, G-CSF can be produced in large quantity in
Since the first reports on hematopoiesis-stimulating effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in the early eighties (e.g., [
In spite of undeniable positive effects of G-CSF when administered to radiation victims, as well as to patients with neutropenia induced by other myelosuppressive factors [
Studies evaluating the efficacy of therapeutically (post-irradiation) administered G-CSF applied mostly the administration schedules of protracted repeated dosing in the course of the first 10 to 20 days after irradiation. This approach was used in experiments on mice (e.g., [
However, more than twenty years ago a finding suggesting a significant survival enhancement in lethally irradiated mice administered a single dose of G-CSF early after irradiation was presented; the efficacy of G-CSF administration was the better the earlier after irradiation G-CSF was given, with the interval of 2 h post-irradiation being the optimum one [
Taking into account the two principles of therapy of the acute radiation syndrome with G-CSF, it can be postulated that both the approaches of early and protracted administration of G-CSF are useful, the first one struggling with the acute radiation-induced apoptosis, the second one supporting the regeneration processes in the hematopoietic tissue.
The topic of modifying radiation damage using a combined agent treatment regimen was thoroughly discussed by Weiss and coworkers already in 1990 [
One of the possibilities of improving the results of the treatment of acute radiation syndrome is to combine G-CSF with other cytokines. The experiments of MacVittie and coworkers from the nineties [
G-CSF can also be combined with the classical radioprotector WR-2721 (see, e.g., [
Adenosine receptor agonists belong to substances that have been shown to stimulate hematopoiesis in irradiated mice (for review, see [
The usefulness of G-CSF in the treatment of acute radiation disease in the nonhuman primate model was already demonstrated in earlier studies (e.g., [
G-CSF in an irradiated organism can act either as a consequence of its therapeutical administration or on the basis of its increased production induced by other drugs, which themselves were tested for their ability to ameliorate the acute radiation damage to the mammalian organism. This "indirect effect" was described, e.g., for vitamin E analogs, like tocopherol succinate [
It follows from these reports that the acute radiation syndrome-mitigating effects of G-CSF can also be employed by the induction of its endogenous production by other agents. It is tempting to speculate that some cheap and readily available drug, like e.g., meloxicam, could play a role in the first aid treatment of the victims of a contingent massive radiation accident.
The primary curative effects of G-CSF are those stimulating the regeneration of the hematopoietic tissues and, as such, they are utilized in connection with acute radiation syndrome preferentially after radiation doses inducing the bone marrow syndrome of the acute radiation disease. However, a high-dose radiation exposure also causes a severe intestinal damage (gastrointestinal syndrome of the acute radiation disease), which then plays a pivotal role in patient survival (e.g., [
It can be inferred from these observations that G-CSF can be applied with benefit in the treatment of acute radiation syndrome to patients exposed to a wide spectrum of radiation doses comprising those which induce the bone marrow and gastrointestinal radiation syndromes.
Although efforts aimed at developing medically effective radiation countermeasure approaches, including radiation protectors, mitigators, and therapeutics, were initiated more than half a century ago, no safe and effective radiation countermeasure has been approved by FDA for the acute radiation syndrome by now [
As a result of the achievements obtained in the course of the investigations on the topic of using G-CSF in the treatment of the acute radiation syndrome, G-CSF has obtained the Emergency Use Investigational New Drug status for the acute radiation syndrome from FDA [

My Carrot - Poem by Nassy Fesharaki
My carrot
Back again
Unwanted as before
Decided my life line by others
I was in a village
Where I kissed fresh air after birth
For first time
I had been
I had seen
Capital, big Tehran
It was hard to adapt once again
Be farmer in mountain
Adventures I wanted and he was example
He was far all the year
Came back home in summer
(That is if, he wanted)
Now he was a brother and father
"Where's the seed? "
He asked me, I answered what happened
I'd chosen piece of land
I'd plowed and had farmed
Spread all the seeds
I wanted to be man, as were men around
They had all I needed
Good muscles and shovels
"That's too much for a farm, you spoiled…"
He shouted and beat me
Was kicking on all sides, as if rock
I cried and cried
No mother, no support
Nobody was around
When over and tears
Had dried on my eyes
I went out and walked out
Hit the road to westward
Walked and walked for hours
Lonely I, all alone
I ended in Zefreh
I knew direction, heard that name
Memories I pulled out
Of ear and the heart and the mind
Without food and money
No parent, company
In a bus I was kid
Driver saw me with
The women in the seats
Never asked a question, doubt bleak
In hours I was there
City was Esfahan
Once again all alone
Not village
Not small
In city I had been
As a child, too small
But lucky
I heard someone whistle
I knew Mojtaba
I called him and sought help
"Take me to, my cousins."
I would lie like a fox
I waited, Zabih came
"Dad's sent us a message
I must go to Tehran…"
I sure lied
He took me, terminal
He put me in a bus
Now city much bigger
I'd worked in this one as a child
Things had change in short time
Busses had two floors
Areas looked alike, names similar
I had asked for wrong one
I ended in market
Lots of shops sold crops
And kitchen's products
I was lost like a chick in jungle
Once again Lucky I
I saw our waterman
I'd known him for time
He knew who I was
We did not any pipe
Water came in drums
Then in bails and oh…wow
Stories of Iran, that tall girl
The secret of Mahmood,
Waterman and myself
I knew all as if
I read my simple palm
On right hand or the left
He let me sit with him
I was there at our shop
I was kid like orphan in the rag
All the eyes wide open
"How the hell could he come? "
"I have come with message."
Lied again, I had to, to be safe.
What happened then after?
That is long story.
It will come.

With so many choices to make, it is easy to get overwhelmed and allow the details to fall through the cracks. To help avoid that and ensure that you and your guests have a great time, here are some tips and ideas to help guide you.
Choose the right reception type that is right for you.
BREAKFAST OR BRUNCH - Food is fruit, bread and other breakfast foods. Reception usually begins around 10 or 11am.
Advantages: Inexpensive. You can leave for your honeymoon on the same day.
Disadvantages: Less time for you to get ready. Hard for guests who need to drive a long distance.
LUNCHEON - Food is sandwiches, salads, pasta and fruits. Follows a late-morning wedding.
Advantages: Inexpensive. Allows for driving and getting ready time, but early enough that you don't have too much time to get nervous.
Disadvantages: If you've got a band or DJ for dancing, many guests may be less likely to get up and "boogie" during the day.

Although Cass started as a neighborhood bank, as residents moved other parts of the city and county, the area changed from primarily residential to commercial. Consequently, the bank began to orient itself more and more towards serving businesses.
Cass Bank was one of the first banks in the nation to begin utilizing electronic computer to process payroll checks. On March 3, 1967, Cass processed its one millionth payroll check for an employee of Central Hardware Company, one of more than 350 companies in the St. Louis area using Cass' "Automated Payroll Plan."
Cass continued to focus on meeting the banking needs of business customers, using the slogan: "Regardless of your needs, come to Cass when you want to talk business."
By the mid to late 1950's, Cass Bank's location was nearly surrounded by truck terminals, service garages and transfer points, so Cass developed a service to simplify the payment of freight bills. Beginning in 1967, the services of what was then called the "Freight Payment Plan" were marketed to companies throughout the United States, and in 1975, a completely new computer-based system was designed and implemented. Later these freight payment services expanded, and a division of Cass Bank called Cass Transportation Services was started.

It's your cruise.....make it a good one!: Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by theresapenix
Overall Member Rating
It's your cruise.....make it a good one!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
Parking: We arrived and parked in the New Orleans port parking. The fee was $16/night. We had read about some less expensive structures, but reviews were not good, so we decided to go with the more trusted source. Attendants take care of your luggage, you just park and take carry on items with you.
Embarkation: Very short walk from parking structure. Embarkation process was smooth. There is a table to check beverages bringing on board. We had soda, water and protein drinks. We were on the ship within a few minutes, and ready to drop by the cabin prior to going to lunch on the Lido deck.
Cabin: Our stateroom was an outside cabin near the aft on the Riviera deck. The room was close to the elevators. Stateroom clean and spacious. Room steward had beds connected for queen bed. Bed was comfortable and provided us with a good night's rest. Room had a new flat screen TV. Usually on cruises, we see a steward a lot and More develop a relationship with him/her. We did not see this steward until mid-way through the cruise. I took post it notes and wrote requests as needed and they were always completed in a timely manner. Rooms were cleaned twice per day. They only leave ice during the morning round, but once seeing we also liked it in the evening, our ice bucket was replenished twice a day. We requested items be removed from mini fridge, so we could put our own drink items in the refrigerator. The toilet made a loud rumbling noise throughout the cruise. We did not complain, and you could not hear it unless in the bathroom as long as door was closed. I am sure steward had to hear when cleaning bathroom. Must have items to take in room: power strip, air freshener, post it notes to write to cabin steward, extra bags, zip lock bags.
Food/Dining: Guy's Burger: great burgers with topping bar. Easily make special requests such as burgers without buns or extra fries. Blue Iguana: I did not eat there, but husband said his taco was good. Like Guy's you get basic food (burrito or taco) and finish it off at topping bar. They also serve breakfast, but we did not eat there then. Fish and Chips: located in secluded corner above Lido deck...un-crowded place to eat and excellent food and service. One of our favorite spots! Deli: excellent cold and heated sandwiches and wonderful chili dogs (only hot dogs on ship). We did not eat at the Pizzeria although good on other cruises nor did we eat at the Taste bar. We did not have lunch or dinner on the Lido deck, but did eat breakfast there on sea days. Food was good. Includes fresh omelets made to order. On sea days in the Renoir dining room is Comedy Brunch, and port days is breakfast. We enjoy breakfast in the dining room as there is a variety of breakfast meats including turkey bacon and chicken sausage. We did not eat at the Comedy Brunch as we like to eat early, but we heard it was very good. We did early dining in the Monet dining room. Food and service were excellent. Don't be shy about ordering multiple dishes or asking for another dish if you do not care for something. Be brave and try the Didja selections on the menu. We very much enjoyed our waiter Yona and our table mates. We used room service once and found the service to be quick and efficient.
Entertainment/Life on Board: Remember this is your cruise. Do as much or as little if you want to. As long as you enjoy that is all that matters. We went to the gym daily. Cardio equipment and weight machines are plentiful. We also spent a lot of time at the EA sports bar as my husband is an avid sports fan. They held sports trivia there daily. Many games were also showed on the large Seaside Theatre screen on the Lido deck. Lido deck was crowded at times, often "empty" chairs remained "reserved" with towels. Many activities were available including pool, water slide, hot tubs, basketball, volley ball, chess, putt-putt golf and a jogging/walking track. We attended a veteran's meet and greet in the library which was nice. I must watch the always tacky but entertaining "hairy chest contest" each cruise. I did feel entertainment was somewhat lacking, especially on sea days when people just walk around trying to find something...a lot of trivia and bingo (for a fee). Most of the main entertainment was either musicals or Hasbro the game show that I did not find entertaining at all. We did enjoy the comedy club though and really liked 3 of the 4 comedians. The past cruiser celebration for gold+ holders was very nice. There is a night club, casino and several bars available although we did not use those services. Drink prices seem to go up on every cruise. Fortunately we are not much of drinkers, but cost of cruise can go up greatly if you are.
Ports of Call: We had been to all ports multiple times, so our biggest treat was just the cruise, being on board a ship we had not sailed on, and spending time together. We do not do shore excursions, so if you like that sort of thing...this part is not for you. Isle Roatan is my least favorite port. We had planned on just staying aboard, but after being on ship 3 days, were ready to get off. We only went to the small shopping area immediately off port. Nothing spectacular. There is a small flea market with some locally crafted items. We did not go out of gates, last time we did...we wish we hadn't. I must say I did take some beautiful pictures of Roatan from walking to various parts of the deck onboard the ship. Port 2 is Belize. We like Belize. Good shopping at decent prices. We formed a group of 10 and took a tour van to explore the city. The price was $20/per person, but we negotiated down to $10/per person. For additional fee would go to beach and rum factory. We just went to north and south side of town and shopping district. Guide, Henri was very knowledgeable of culture and history and he showed us many things including places that a normal tour may not go to. He would even stop and take pictures for you if you saw something you wanted a photo of. Upon return, we walked around a bit, prior to returning to our ship. Final port was Cozumel. Cozumel is a large port with a lot of shopping at good prices and some beautiful beaches. Having been there multiple times, we just walked around. It was warmer than some trips there...the walk from the ship to the end of town is about 6 miles....after 12 miles round trip...running out of water, I was happy to be back on ship....note for those not fitness freaks: share a taxi with a group at least one way. When walking in Cozumel be prepared to say "no" to the multitude of locals wanting you to go into their shops.
Debarkation: We did self assist. From start to finish, we were off boat in about 30 minutes and in our car heading home. No issues at all.
Again, a cruise is what you make of it. If you look for the worst you will find it, but we enjoyed our time, and felt it was a wonderful ship, wonderful cruise and wonderful staff. Less

The Bonita Vista Barons defeated the Otay Ranch Mustangs, 11-5, on Sept. 20 to pick up their first Mesa League victory this season. The win evened the Barons' league record at 1-1 while the Mustangs fell to 0-2 in league play.
Otay Ranch lost 11-5 in its league opener to Mater Dei Catholic on Sept. 18.
The game was the third of the season for Bonita Vista and the fourth for the Mustangs, who previously defeated Chula Vista and San Ysidro in non-league play.
James Cevallos led BVHS with six goals while Adaam Ostrowski added three goals and Jan Garay and Robert Rabago each scored once.
The game started slow for the Barons, who ended the first quarter holding a 2-1 lead after Otay Ranch scored the game's opening goal.
Bonita Vista expanded its lead to 8-2 at halftime.
"Once our starters got in, we started scoring," BVHS coach Betty Alexander said.
Mack Glass led the Mustangs with three goals while Jake Weidner scored twice. Glass was impressive in the water throughout the game, showcasing why he has to be considered one of the top players in the league. Weidner, who played water polo as a sophomore but not as a junior last year, entered the pool as the Metro Conference's reigning boys lacrosse player of the year.
Bonita Vista will participate in this weekend's 24-team Fall Classic tournament in East County along with Metro rivals Otay Ranch and Mater Dei Catholic. The Barons are included in pool play alongside La Costa Canyon and Point Loma.
"It should be a very competitive field," Alexanders said.
Otay Ranch's pool includes Mira Mesa and San Pasqual; Mater Dei Catholic's pool includes El Cajon Valley and Patrick Henry.
Four East County pools will be used on Thursday (Sept. 27): Valhalla, El Cajon Valley, Helix and Monte Vista. The tournament continues Friday (Sept. 28) and Saturday (Sept. 29) at Valhalla, Helix and El Cajon Valley.
Wet shots
Eastlake defeated host Helix, 11-4, in non-league play on Tuesday (Sept. 25) behind three goals from Daniel Lord. The defending Mesa League champion Titans participated in the annual America's Finest City tournament over the previous weekend.
Eastlake finished 2-3 at the AFC tournament while battling some of the best teams in Southern California. The Titans opened play with a 19-11 setback to a strong Cerritos team that eventually placed fifth in the tournament field. Eastlake then dropped a three-goal decision to Fallbrook.
The Titans recorded their first tournament victories against Crespi and Poway before bowing out with a three-goal loss to Palm Desert.
"The three Kyles (Kyle Shauer, Kyle De Alva and Kyle Kowalski) are coming along and learning," EHS coach Chris Barrick said. "Overall,we played to our potential and the tournament was good for us."
Eastlake dropped a key Division I match-up against visiting Rancho Buena Vista On Sept. 27. The game was close through the mid-stages of the third quarter at which time the Longhorns began to pull away. RBV led 12-6 in the early minutes of the final quarter.
"We'll probably see them in CIF," Barrick said in reference to the match-up against the Longhorns.
Cathedral Catholic defeated Carlsbad, 12-10, in the championship game pitting San Diego Section superpowers at the opposite end of the enrollment spectrum. The Dons, buoyed by tournament MVP Jacob Fujioka, improved to 9-1.
Coming soon: Clash of the Titans — Hilltop vs. Eastlake
Championship fortunes in the Mesa League are likely to turn on Monday, Oct. 8, when Hilltop hosts Eastlake in a highly anticipated game at the Parkway pool. Varsity game action is scheduled to get under way at 2 p.m.
Both teams rate the best in the league as well as in the entire Metro Conference this season.
Hilltop defeated Southwest, 20-2, in a non-league match-up on Sept. 19. Lancer scoring leader Nick Howard led all scorers with 12 goals while Nick Norton and Maurizio Martinez each scored twice.
Hilltop competed last weekend at the Irvine tournament, finishing 1-3 but with an asterisk. The Lancers lost to Woodbridge (19-10) and Breckman (14-7) in pool play but defeated Milliken in the playoffs before falling to Santa Ynez (18-10).
Milliken was the tourney's No. 1 seed and it took a late goal in overtime from Carlos Uribe to seal the 12-11 victory. Howard had eight goals.
Howard had seven of the Lancers' 10 goals in the loss to Woodbridge and tallied the bulk of Hilltop's goals in the losses to Breckman and Santa Ynez.
"Howard was double- and triple-teamed most the tournament and was still able to notch 24 goals," HHS coach John Salts said.
Howard also totaled 39 steals in the four games in Irvine.
Howard has racked up 75 goals, 83 steals and 31 assists in the Lancers' opening eight games of the season.

Chevelle "Face To The Floor" Live and Studio Versions [VIDEO]
I don't even know when the guys from Chevelle had time to record a new record. I thought they were going to do this tour with Bush and Filter then do an album. Evidently they were sneaking away and recording new tracks all along.
Chevelle have always been Texas favorites. These guys have made Texas a little bit of a "home away from home" playing to enthusiastic audiences here on a regular basis. We really can't show them enough love for all the great times they've brought to the us. Check out their latest track in both the studio and live versions below.

The researches of the astronomers have proved that there is not one star for which the parallax is equal to that of another.
We have also ascertained that the annual parallax is about half a second.
Bessel had anticipated him with the parallax of 61 Cygni by just two months.
Not go in and blurt out what you know you're not to: what's parallax?
The seventh and eighth columns give the annual parallax and the corresponding distance expressed in siriometers.
Then I tried to remember what was the parallax of this star.
Here we have only to do with near stars for which the annual parallax is well determined.
It is the distance of a star that has a parallax of one second of arc.
The detection of the parallax of the stars depended on the improvement of instruments for the measurement of angles.
But its parallax (about 0″·08) shows that it is about 128 times brighter than the sun!
parallax par·al·lax (pār'ə-lāks')
The apparent displacement of an object caused by a change in the position from which it is viewed.
An apparent shift in the position of an object, such as a star, caused by a change in the observer's position that provides a new line of sight. The parallax of nearby stars caused by observing them from opposite points in Earth's orbit around the Sun is used in estimating the stars' distance from Earth through triangulation.

The Islamic - or Sharia - judges ordered the rape victim, Mukhtar Mai, and all the defendants in the case to attend a new hearing.
A tribal council allegedly ordered the rape in February 2002 as punishment for a crime attributed to Ms Mai's brother.
Rights groups had expressed shock at last week's acquittals.
Uncommon intervention
On Friday, the Federal Sharia Court suspended the judgment of the Lahore High Court which exonerated five of the six men accused in the rape case and commuted the death sentence of the sixth to life imprisonment.
The Sharia judges said they were acting according to the constitution which allows them to suspend any judgment of any criminal court pending their own ruling.
They ordered Ms Mai, the six defendants and seven men acquitted in an earlier decision to attend the new hearing. No date was given.
The BBC News website's Aamer Ahmed Khan says it is not common for the Federal Sharia Court to make such a high-profile intervention.
The court has spent most of its time since establishment in 1980 reviewing Pakistani laws to determine whether they conflict with Islamic injunctions.
But legislation does allow the Sharia court to hear any criminal case that falls under Islamic laws called the Hudood laws. These cases include rape and adultery.
The Sharia court argues Ms Mai's case should have been tried under Hudood laws and not anti-terrorist legislation.
There was widespread criticism of the High Court acquittals by human rights groups and political parties. The court ruled there was insufficient evidence and incorrect investigation procedures.
Ms Mai last week announced she would file an appeal to the Supreme Court and said the men should not be freed until it was heard.
The Pakistani government also criticised the acquittals and said it would appeal.
Hundreds of Ms Mai's supporters have attended protest rallies since the acquittals.
A joint statement issued by several leading non-government organisations saluted Ms Mai's courage and bravery in taking on the system.
Hundreds of women are killed or injured in "honour" attacks in Pakistan every year.
Village elders allegedly ordered Ms Mai's rape in February 2002 after allegations surfaced that her then 12-year-old brother had had sex with a woman from a more prominent clan. He denied the charges.
Amid international outcry at the rape, four of her alleged rapists and two village elders were sentenced to death the same year.

Precocious 3-Year-Old Pleads His Case For A Cupcake, Calls His Mother By Her First Name

Adele Officially Announces Her 2012 Grammy Performance
There has been some speculation that her first national live performance since her vocal chord surgery in November would be at the BRIT Awards later in the month.
However, the "Someone Like You" singer took to her Twitter today to announce she will in fact be taking the stage at this year's Grammys on Feb. 12.
"Ima be, Ima be singing at the Grammys. It's been so long I started to forget I was a singer! I can't wait, speak soon xx," she tweeted.
Adele has been nominated for six categories at the awards for her heartfelt ballads from the hit album 21.
Check out one of her last national performances before throat surgery from the 2011 MTV VMA's below!
This could turn up to be Adele's year as she's found love once again. Check out her new beau below.
