Should Ultherapy Be Done by a Doctor or is It Ok That One of His Assistants is Doing It?

Non-medical personnel to provide Ultherapy treatments?
Some physicians elect to be the "technician" on all technologies. Others appoint nurses or physician assistants to treat. Often, if a treatment has a high safety profile, delegating the treatment to other staff is perfectly fine.
Since Ultherapy is noninvasive, staff with experience and education are frequently just as capable - and since their time is less in demand, they can usually spend a bit more time with patients than a doctor who typically has a more pressing schedule.
As to having non-medical personnel perform the treatment, if you are uncomfortable with that option, then finding a practice that only uses medically trained technicians would not be hard. Or you could request a nurse to be your treatment provider.
In our office we elect to provide Ultherapy only by nurse, physician or physician assistant.

Ultherapy providers must be certified and trained
As with any cosmetic procedures, it is critical to have your procedure performed by a skilled professional who is an expert in the type of treatment you are interested in.
Professionals who provide Ultherapy need to be certified and receive procedural training, so if your doctor trusts his assistant to do the procedure and is administering the pain medication, it is probably fine. If you are concerned, feel free to ask the doctor.

Ulthera Practitioners
The FDA-cleared Ultherapy procedure has been established to be safe and effective in clinical studies and tens of thousands of patient treatments worldwide. In addition, every Ultherapy practitioner undergoes extensive hands-on training, so you can schedule your Ultherapy procedure with complete confidence. In selecting a practitioner, it is important to find someone who is experienced and has achieved positive results with his or her patients. It does not matter so much whether it is a doctor or nurse, but rather their expertise or experience.

Ultherapy has a high safety profile and physician extenders may peform it in some sates
Depending on the state governance, some physicians may elect to direct the treatment and have a nurse, physician's assistant, medical assistant or aesthetician peform this ultrasound treatment. Currently I or one of our plastic surgeons in our practice, peform the treatment but once we have a well-trained physician assistant or nurse involved, I would be very comfortable with them performing the Ultherapy.

Ultherapy performed by doctor or nurse
Ultherapy needs to be done by someone who is well trained and certified in Ultherapy. There are certifications that the company requires and every place offering Ultherapy should have documentation of their certification. It is important that the person performing the treatment is very comfortable giving it. A nurse or doctor is ideal because they can also give nerve blocks if necessary, but it is not essential that a doctor perform it. Because it is time intensive, most doctors do not perform the procedure and an experienced professional working alongside them performs it instead. In our office, my nurse is especially trained in Ultherapy and is one of the trainers for the company. She trains other doctors and nurses on Ultherapy.

Ultherapy - Physician or Aesthetician
In my practice, I provide Ultherapy treatments but also work closely with my aesthetician who is very skilled at delivering the treatment. I believe the quality of results depends heavily on the planning and treatment plan. For patients who receive treatments with my aesthetician, I am very involved in patient planning and I often modify and customize the standard treatment protocols prior to the treatment. For example, I often notice asymmetry in patients face and will change the treatment energy delivered on one half of the face compared to the other. It is this planning where I think Plastic Surgeons are able to differentiate themselves compared to other physicians who are trying dabble in aesthetics (e.g. family practice or emergency room physicians).
Ulthera Treatment Provider
In my practice, all facial and neck treatments are done by myself. It is up to the practice, however.
Who should provide ultherapy treatment
In my practice, I always perform the Ultherapy as with any procedure it is best that the most qualified person perform the procedure. Ultherapy is a painful procedure and when ever you begin to treat patients with local anesthetic for blocks or have to manage anxiety or vagal reactions, it is best to have the doctor involved in the procedure.
Ultherapy treatments who should do it?
I personaly do the treatments in my office at this time. It is ok for anyone that has been properly trained to administer the treatment under the supervision of the doctor.
Good Luck

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems will usually require preventive maintenance in order to keep the systems working properly. Skilled technicians are the ones that do the preventive HVAC maintenance on the larger units that are used in office buildings, hospitals, factories, and schools. For simple repair jobs and maintenance on home air conditioning or heating units can usually be performed by technicians that have little experience or knowledge with
Thomasville NC 27360 HVAC systems. Making sure that preventive HVAC maintenance is done on all systems can help to improve the efficiency of the system, extend the life of the unit, and reduce wear and tear on the system.
There are some large buildings like hospitals and manufacturing plants that keep a skilled HVAC technician as a full-or part time employee to make emergency repairs and to do preventive HVAC maintenance. Most skilled technicians have Thomasville NC 27360 a detailed knowledge of every aspect of the HVAC system. This includes the interior of mechanical engines and the function and structure of air vents. They also understand the organization of fans, wires, belts, and gears along with the know how to make sure that everything will be kept in correct working order. They can consult the system's blueprints and operation manuals to help with maintenance jobs.
In preventive HVAC maintenance the
Thomasville NC 27360 first step will usually involve cleaning the exterior and interior of the unit thoroughly. The performance of the system will be improved significantly when the debris and dirt is removed from the vents, fans, and other parts. It will also help to prevent pieces from becoming clogged. The technician will also check the different internal parts of the electrical system and engine for wear. If the technician finds any worn or Thomasville NC 27360 damaged parts they are usually replaced with new parts to help prevent problems later. Filters are replaced, electrical wires are examined, and belts and screws are tightened.
After the preventive HVAC maintenance is completed the technician will test the system to make sure that it is running smoothly and quietly. Some HVAC systems, especially the older systems, will need to be checked every few weeks or months to make sure that everything Thomasville NC 27360 is running efficiently. If it is a system that is not regularly used or is a new system may only need preventive HVAC maintenance one or two times a year.
If you have a HVAC system installed in your home they may have a technician perform any detailed maintenance jobs but for simple preventative HVAC maintenance a homeowner can do the tasks themselves using basic tools. The system's operation manual will usually Thomasville NC 27360 have detailed instructions on how to maintain the system.

Monetization and insights provider W3i is stepping up its game with Pocket Gems and other mobile game developers on Android going into 2013. This could be the year that Google's platform finally catches up in revenues to Apple's iOS.
Through its expanded partnership with Pocket Games, W3i now provides monetization solutions to Tap Paradise Cove and Campus Life. Far from being mere banner ads, the monetization service focuses instead on providing a native experience in these Android apps — tailoring ads, offers and video campaigns to the user experience.
Erik Lundberg, General Manager at W3i's San Francisco office (pictured), explains that the shift toward native experiences comes from mobile advertising finally moving away from online advertising models. With 15 years in online ads before joining W3i just eight months ago, he's had time to study the changing trends.
"In the early days of ads and mobile apps, people took online models and slapped them on a smartphone like small banner ads that are only 100 pixels wide," says Lundberg. "Users have tuned those out. More native ads like a full screen interstitial or offer-based ads, we see a much higher CPM, like 10 times higher. We think that trend will continue toward native ads that are a part of the application instead of just throwing up a banner."
Inside Social Games: How has monetization on mobile evolved in the last 18 months?
Erik Lundberg, General Manager, W3i San Francisco: In the early days of the app economy, people were focused on in-app purchases as a revenue stream. The issues with that is a good conversion rate is 3 percent — so 97 percent of your audience isn't monetizing, which doesn't seem like the best strategy. More and more developers are branching out from in-app purchases and looking at offers and advertising, video — what you might call non-traditional revenue streams. A lot of them have seen significant increases from that. We work with developers that see anywhere from 20 to 50 percent [revenue increases] from incorporating video solutions.
ISG: We've heard developers say that this is the year Android revenues will finally catch up to iOS. What's your take on the disparity?
Lundberg: Google Play is taking time to catch up [to Apple's credit card number collection] and they still don't have the penetration rate that Apple has, but they've been doing great work and improving the purchase process and capturing credit cards. We see that because purchase rates have increased. We also see advertising and offers being very important on Android, up to 50 percent — equal to in-app purchases on Android. We have been seeing overall monetization and average revenue per daily active user going up for Android. There's a good chance that this is going to be the year they close the gap. Another indicator comes from what rates advertisers are willing to pay to acquire users. People come to us to buy app installs on a CPI basis and we've been seeing the rates on Android going up — getting closer and closer to what they pay on iOS. The better a platform monetizes, the more people are willing to pay to monetize on that platform.
ISG: Some developers see tablet as the next frontier of games. Do you believe monetization on tablet will prove to be different than monetization on mobile in the long term or is this just something we're seeing in the short term because fewer people have tablets?
Lundberg: We believe it's going to be a long term trend for a couple of reasons. One, it's an upscale device. If you get an Android free or for a couple hundred dollars for a two-year contract… I just went out and paid over $800 for the new iPad with WiFi. It's a very upscale device and for people who have the income to purchase either Android or iOS tablets, it's a consumer that will monetize better.
Two, you have so much more real estate. What you can do with advertising, video, offers and even just with the games and apps is more powerful on iPad. It's a superior gaming and an app platform. We definitely see it as a trend that it will monetize better than phones.
And it's not just the iPad. We don't support the platform yet — but we've heard from a number of our developer partners that Amazon tablets monetize well. [Like Apple,] Amazon has your credit card. And it's an upscale device for an upscale consumer. And you have have a more powerful app [running on] that platform.
ISG: Do you see any new trends in display advertising, video or incentivized activity emerging on iOS or Android or potentially Windows Phone?
Lundberg: It's the whole idea of native ads. It's not just going to be online banners slapped up. We plan to support developers more and more with that. Windows Phone is the fourth platform we've talked about. We've been doing research on that and the jury is still out, waiting to see how the platform performs. But we've heard people say that they think it will be a major player in a few years. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out. With Windows 8, it'd be interesting to do tablet, phone and PC ads all in one swoop. They are also very developer friendly.
ISG: Because they have to be. Do you think new types of apps — like commerce apps, crowdsource apps, etc. — will yield new types of monetization that games can use? Or is monetization always a games-first kind of pattern?
Lundberg: It can go both ways. We see more and more non-game apps putting in interesting offers and videos and advertising. I think games companies drive the industry a lot of the time because they are so creative and monetization-focused. But you're seeing interesting things with geo-e-commerce on mobile apps that could come over to games. I can't say who it is because of a non-disclosure agreement — but I did see a very innovative campaign from a brick-and-mortar retailer. [The company] ran a campaign on mobile that basically said "click here, go to our mobile website, sign up" and then if you make a purchase in the brick and mortar store, you got currency in [the company's] Android game. It's early, but it's the intersection between e-commerce and games and from a game and mobile app you could drive someone into your store. People talk about 360-degree marketing and these are the cutting trends.
ISG: Aside from your partnership with Pocket Gems, what other developers are you courting on Android? Any indies?
Lundberg: We work with developers of all shapes and sizes, a lot of independents, very small and very large. We really value Pocket Gems because they make games for both iOS and Android. We work with Imanji's Temple Run. And we work with Skyvu's Battle Bears Royale and it's been hugely successful. We also work with PlayCoMo's Little Dragons. Both Battle bears and Little Dragon were featured by Google Play over the holidays and have seen skyrocketing monetization and installs across the board. It's amazing to see this time of year, every year, people getting new devices and having time off — just the volume in both Google and iOS is phenomenal. It's incredible to see the activity.
ISG: Any advice for developers?
Lundberg: We talked about people not just relying on in-app purchases. A lot of times developers are hesitant to put in alternate revenue streams because they're worried it will decrease IAP or overall revenue. We've done studies that prove that that wasn't the case, where people put in ads or an offer and saw IAP or overall revenue go up. If you only have 3 percent making IAP and suddenly say "here's a way to get virtual currency for free," that's very powerful. Users playing the game that [hadn't bought] virtual currency suddenly get some for free and that helps turn them into IAP customers because they experience the power of having currency in the game. People think putting in ads, they might be hurting IAP, but we've seen it enhance IAP and overall revenue. That's a real big misconception in the industry and it's hurting a lot of developers' revenues.

Colors for 3D Curves
Hi everybody,
I'm actually using "ParmetricPlot3D" to plot 3D curves. My problem is
that I want to be able to choose the color of the curve plot. The
"PlotStyle" option don't seem to work in "ParmetricPlot3D". Is there
another way to define the plot color with "ParmetricPlot3D" ? Thanks
for any help.

United Nations: Envoys from Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States have held talks on a British-drafted UN Security Council resolution that could allow military action in Syria.
The meeting ended without any sign that the 15-member Security Council could vote any time soon on a resolution condemning the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Ambassadors from Russia and China, who fiercely oppose any military strike against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, left the closed-door negotiations after about 75 minutes.
The US, British and French envoys carried on their talks but left the UN Security Council chamber without making any comment.
The three countries are said to be considering a military strike over the chemical weapons use.
"Britain presented a text and the Russians repeated the arguments already made by their foreign minister," said one diplomat.
"The Russians and Chinese said they would refer the text to their governments. The talks are not over but there is no new meeting planned yet," the diplomat added.
All five countries are permanent members of the council who can veto any resolution. Australia, which is a non-permanent member of the UNSC, takes over the presidency of the council on Sunday.
Britain, France and the United States say Dr Assad's forces carried out an attack with a poison gas in the Damascus suburbs on August 21 said to have left hundreds dead.
The Syrian government, backed by Russia, has blamed opposition rebels.
The British government wants a resolution that would allow "all necessary measures to protect civilians" - UN code for military action.
But Russia and China have already vetoed three Security Council resolutions since the start of the Syria conflict in March 2011 that sought to increase pressure on Dr Assad without imposing sanctions.
Moscow has condemned attempts to pass a resolution now while UN inspectors are still in Syria investigating the chemical weapons allegations.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) Authorities say an inmate at the state prison west of Phoenix is dead after apparently committing suicide.
Arizona Department of Corrections officials say 28-year-old Geshell Fernandez was found in her cell early Friday at the Perryville prison in Goodyear.
They say medical personnel attempted lifesaving measures, but she was pronounced dead shortly before 1 a.m.
DOC officials did not release details on the method of the apparent suicide. They say the death is under investigation.
Fernandez entered the Arizona prison system in November 2009 after a conviction from Maricopa County for aggravated assault and a drug paraphernalia violation. She was serving a 7-year sentence in the Lumley Unit of the Perryville prison.

Safran is a Paris-headquartered international high-technology leader in the aerospace, defense and security industries—building everything from commercial jet engines to the security systems that detect explosives in luggage. Given that they operate in more than 50 countries with thousands of employees, monitoring the social conversations in their core operating areas can be challenging – but extremely valuable.
We wanted to learn more about how Safran leverages realtime social data through our customer (and new Plugged In partner!), the TrendyBuzz Institut. TrendyBuzz is a French all-media monitoring and analytics platform that works with Gnip to provide access to both the full firehose of realtime and historical Twitter data through our PowerTrack solution. They help customers aggregate and identify relevant content, informing and improving the impact of future social media initiatives. In addition to helping customers monitor realtime data, TrendyBuzz can access historical Twitter data through Gnip for several scenarios, one of which they recently shared with us.
No company can predict every hashtag, mention, or user who will relate to their brand. As good as the TrendyBuzz platform is at surfacing items in realtime, it's impossible for companies to know every content piece or term they should track, especially given the speed at which users on networks like Twitter create new viral items. Sometimes a competitor makes an unanticipated announcement or there's a breaking news story related to your industry, and you miss several hours or days of data. With access to historical data, companies don't have to worry about missing important mentions or conversations that might impact their brand or industry.
We're psyched the Plugged In program continues to expand in both number and geography with the addition of Paris-based,TrendyBuzz Institut!

Some additional. This bug may be invalid, and may actually need to be worked on from a different angle. I realized that in the Edit Task dialog, the status drop down does not automatically change from "Completed on" to "In process" when the percent complete is changed to less than 100%. Changing this to "In process" when changing the % complete makes everything behave as expected. But, this still isn't right, in my opinion. I suggest that EITHER the Status should change to "In process" automatically if the "% complete" is changed to less than 100%, OR it should not be possible to edit the "% complete" unless the status is changed to something other than "Completed on." This will avoid the conflict in the task view that is possible between the progress bar and the completion check box. Unless, of course, a task can be completed yet not 100% Complete. For me, that doesn't work, but maybe I am missing something.

I noticed a similar problem. I often need to mark a task as completed and create another identical task at a different date in the future, this latter one without the "completed" status. So I copy the first (completed) task and paste it as a second identical task. But this second task remains struck out, no matter if I try to set the status as "not specified".
Created attachment 676957 [details] [diff] [review] patch - v1 I've tried to address the request in comment #1. This patch changes the status to COMPLETED when the user types or selects 100 in the percent-completed-textbox, and changes the status to IN-PROCESS when the percent complete becomes less than 100. It also changes the percent completed to 99 when the user changes the status from COMPLETED to IN PROCESS or to NEEDS ACTION. I'm not sure if the percent complete text box has to be enabled with the NEEDS ACTION status selected (I've found nothing on RFC5545) so I've left it as it is. Moreover it sets the percent complete textbox to 0 when the "Not Specified" status is being selected.

" Brand: Boots / Type: Mouthwash / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types "
This is a review of Boots Mouthwash from their essentials range. It was a bit of a bargain and I am always on the search for the perfect mouthwash, so have tried many in my time. I have come to the conclusion that it is just best to pick up whatever is on special offer at the time so your mouth or body doesn't get too used to one kind.
Product description
The mouthwash is from Boots' equivalent of a value range. I don't mind this as there are some items I am prepared to spend more money on but mouthwash doesn't fall in this category. The 500ml bottle is clear plastic and recyclable and the lid is plastic with a child tamper proof lid (squeeze and turn to open) and the cap also acts as a measuring tool for the contents. The liquid contents are bright aqua blue like the Caribbean sea.
In use
I take a cap full after brushing and swish around in my mouth before spitting it out. It tastes fresh and minty but doesn't hurt your mouth like some mouthwashes! I get a nice fresh breath feeling for a while and it's not a medicated smell.
The claim
Unlike other mouthwashes that have a lot of benefits listed, this one simply claims to fight bacteria on the label but I believe you get other benefits like the fresh breath and the extra rinse after brushing will shift any bit of food that are in your mouth.
My thoughts
I like this mouthwash and it is quite mild. I think it is great value for money and does the job I want it to. A bottle of this will last me at least a couple of months. I do sometimes struggle with opening the lid but that is more to do with coordination skills than it being a real problem. People with joint issues may struggle though. The label advises this product is not suitable for children under six. I always keep this well away from my daughter as she is in that copying stage and loves brushing her teeth and although I am confident she would not be able to get the lid off it's better safe than sorry. I think bright coloured liquids have extra appeal to children too but at least adults know not to swallow it!
Price and availability
I bought my bottle of mouthwash a couple of months ago from Boots and I distinctly remember the price being 49p. I have looked on the website but can't find it listed despite there being other products from the essentials range on there. At the time I had a voucher from the Advantage Card machine for money off the Boots Smile brand and was going to use that on their mouthwash but saw I would be spending less with this at full price with no vouchers so used the coupon on some toothpaste instead.
Final word
I think I can safely recommend this product to other mouthwash users on a budget. For the price paid it does the job but comes with no frills or promises on things like sensitive teeth. I will definitely look out for this next time I am in store but won't be surprised if the price has gone up. I don't feel the need to spend a fortune on mouthwash as ultimately, it gets poured down the drain but I can say that I found this easy to use and was not unpleasant in the taste or after breath.
I try to use mouthwash everyday as I like to think it helps to keep my teeth and gums in a good shape. I opted to buy this one from Boots recently as it is part of there 3 for 2 on selected dental products so I had this as my free product.
--- The Bottle ---
The bottle is 22cm x 8cm x 5cm in size and clear throughout. On the top there is a white opaque screw cap lid that is child proof as you have to squeeze the sides to open it. On the front there is a plain blue label that has the name of the product in white and the boots logo on it. There rear also has a large blue label that contains all of the product information.
--- The Mouthwash ---
Each bottle contains 500ml of a blue coloured coolmint mouthwash. The mouthwash has a minty scent to it which is quite strong and sometimes makes me sneeze. As well as the mint scent there is also another scent that I can only associate with dental products. When you taste the mouthwash, it tastes just as it smells, nice and minty. This is good as this is part of the reason I buy mouthwash. I find that after a good swill and gargle, the mouthwash helps to leave my breathe feeling and smelling fresher for longer. I find that if I use just toothpaste then my breathe doesn't stay too fresh for long, but with this it stays fresher for longer.
The bottle states that the mouthwash also helps to fight bacteria. I'm not sure how true this statement is, however I have not had any bacterial, gum or tooth problems since using it so I can only assume it does work to an extent.
I use about half to three quarters of a cap full per use, once in the morning and once in the evening and I find that this is good enough to keep me going throughout the day. Even with using it twice a day, I still find one bottle can last me quite a while which makes it good value for money.
--- Where To Buy? ---
As this is a Boots own brand product, it can only be bought at Boots shops, there are around 2400 of them so it shouldn't be too much of a problem finding one! It costs 81p for a 500ml bottle, which only comes in the Cool Mint flavour.
--- The Verdict ---
I am going to give this 5/5 as for the price and the quality of the product it is well worth the money. I have not had any complaints with it so far as it does a very good job in helping to look after my teeth and gums and keeping my breathe fresher for longer. It is well worth trying for such as good price.
Thanks for reading.

U.S. Justice System Is Based On Innocent Until Proven Guilty – Is That Really the Case?
Our Justice system has been front and center for the last couple of years, but especially over the last six months both locally and nationally. The most visible cases right now are George Zimmerman and former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez. In this piece, I want to focus on the basic premise of our Justice System and the notion of 'innocent until proven guilty' and in particular, Aaron Hernandez.

Janette Howard urges women to know their breasts
Page Tools
Janette Howard today challenged all women to get well acquainted with their breasts.
In a rare public appearance without her prime minister husband, Mrs Howard said early detection of breast cancer was the best way of ensuring survival.
Launching the National Breast Cancer Centre's new campaign, "Any change is worth talking about", Mrs Howard was joined by breast cancer survivors including Jane McGrath, wife of Test cricketer Glenn, and Ann Hollingworth, wife of former governor-general Peter.
"We've come a long way in ... 10 years in awareness and in, I think, openness in how we speak about breast cancer but that doesn't mean we can rest on our laurels," Mrs Howard said.
She suffered a health scare in 1997, in her husband's first year of office, but it was never revealed whether it was cancer related.
"Your breasts can't tell you if you've got breast cancer so you need to know them well and if you do notice a change and any difference at all, you need to see your doctor without a delay," Mrs Howard said.
"I want to encourage women of all ages, all backgrounds, all regions and all cultures to be breast aware and more importantly to seek medical advice if you notice a breast change."
In Australia, more than 11,300 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and about 2,500 die from the disease.
Mrs Hollingworth said she strongly backed the messages of knowing your breasts and the importance of early detection.
She recalls the day she discovered a lump.
"I thought not every lump is a breast cancer, I have regular mammograms, I've never smoked, I've always been very, very careful about those sorts of things, it probably isn't breast cancer," she said.
"But then it did become a bit painful."
When a needle biopsy confirmed the cancer, Mrs Hollingworth asked for her mastectomy to be carried out as soon as possible.
Like Mrs McGrath, she has taken a positive attitude and is determined to beat the disease.
"You really just have to say, `I've got to be positive about this, there are survivors as we've seen today and at this moment, I am a survivor'," Mrs Hollingworth said.
"I had one occasion when I could really feel myself going down into that big dark hole and I thought I can't ever do that again."

Gosia (Małgorzata) Wozniacka is a reporter, photographer, and multimedia producer. Currently, she's a freelancer based in Eastern Europe. Until the end of January, she worked for five years as a staff reporter for The Associated Press in the U.S. She also shot photos and occasionally video for the AP. Wozniacka specializes in reporting about immigration policy, Latinos and other immigrants and refugees, agriculture, and environmental issues. But she loves every good story, no matter the subject. She has also done international reporting from Poland, Belarus, Mexico and India, with focus on political, economic and social transition. She's fascinated with borderlands, dualities, people and places whose identities lie "in-between." Wozniacka is fluent in English, Spanish, French and Polish.
Prior to joining the AP, Wozniacka was the Immigration/Latino Affairs reporter for The Oregonian, a large U.S. daily newspaper, where she won the Best of the West, Blethen, and Society of Professional Journalists awards for her coverage. She has also written for The Dallas Morning News, The Hartford Courant, The San Francisco Chronicle, The WorldPaper, Gazeta Wyborcza (Poland's biggest daily), and Transitions Online (a magazine that covers the former communist countries of Europe and Central Asia).
Wozniacka was born in Poland, when it was still a communist country. Her family became refugees in France when she was 12 years old, just a year before the Germans dismantled the Berlin Wall. Two years later, unable to stop moving, the family immigrated once again to the United States. Wozniacka has studied and worked on both continents, and is often on the road between the two. She received her Master's degree from the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley. For several years, Wozniacka trained high school students at The Oregonian's summer Journalism Institute in reporting, writing, and multimedia skills. She has taught journalism and writing in the Urban Scholars Program at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. She loves to read literature from around the world and has also taught a series of non-fiction writing workshops in Portland.
A note about my name: Małgorzata is my full name, and I like it very much. But it's unpronounceable to most people in the United States. My job relies on sources calling me and people feeling comfortable talking with me. So I use Gosia, a diminutive of Małgorzata, as my pen name. Sometimes I also go by Margarita.

U.S. Women's National Team And Tom Sermanni Open 2013 Against Scotland
Posted by: newsla on Feb 09, 2013 - 07:01 PM
U.S. Women's National Team And Tom Sermanni Open 2013 Against Scotland
U.S. WNT, TOM SERMANNI OPEN 2013 AGAINST SCOTLAND: The U.S. Women's National Team and new head coach Tom Sermanni kick off the 2013 campaign with an international friendly match on Saturday, Feb. 9, against Sermanni's native Scotland at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla. The match kicks off at 5 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live through a ussoccer.com stream. Fans can also follow the match via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer_wnt.
SECOND LEG IN TENNESSEE: The USA opens the year with back-to-back matches against Scotland as the two sides will meet for a second time in five days on Wednesday, Feb. 13, at LP Field in Nashville, Tenn. More than 10,000 tickets have been sold for that match and the attendance is approaching a Tennessee record for women's soccer. On Nov. 1, 1997, the USA played Sweden in a 3-1 victory in front of 13,081 fans at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga. This match also will be broadcast live through a ussoccer.com stream and available via ussoccer.coms MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer_wnt.
GOALKEEPERS (5): Nicole Barnhart (FC Kansas City), Jane Campbell (Concorde Fire South), Ashlyn Harris (FCR 2001 Duisburg), Jill Loyden (Sky Blue FC), Hope Solo (Seattle Reign)
DEFENDERS (9): Rachel Buehler (Portland Thorns FC), Crystal Dunn (North Carolina), Whitney Engen (Liverpool FC), Julie Johnston (Santa Clara), Ali Krieger (Washington Spirit), Heather Mitts (Boston Breakers), Kelley O'Hara (Sky Blue FC), Christie Rampone (Sky Blue FC), Becky Sauerbrunn (FC Kansas City)
MIDFIELDERS (10): Yael Averbuch (Göteborg FC), Shannon Boxx (Chicago Red Stars), Lauren Cheney (FC Kansas City), Tobin Heath (Paris Saint-Germain), Lori Lindsey (Washington Spirit), Carli Lloyd (Western NY Flash), Kristie Mewis (FC Kansas City), Heather O'Reilly (Boston Breakers), Megan Rapinoe (Olympique Lyonnais), Keelin Winters (Chicago Red Stars)
FORWARDS (5): Zakiya Bywaters (Chicago Red Stars), Sydney Leroux (Boston Breakers), Alex Morgan (Portland Thorns FC), Christen Press (Tyresö FF), Abby Wambach (Western NY Flash)
FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD PLAYER OF THE YEAR WAMBACH APPROACHING SCORING RECORD: U.S. WNT forward Abby Wambach was named the 2012 FIFA Women's World Player of the Year at the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or gala in Zurich, Switzerland, and all eyes will be on her as she inches closer to the world goal scoring record. Wambach enters 2013 with 152 career goals and is only six behind the legendary Mia Hamm, the 2001 and 2002 FIFA Women's World Player of the Year, who had 158 career international scores from 1987-2004.
⢠From the 29-player training camp roster, Sermanni will name 18 players to suit up for each of the two matches against Scotland.
⢠The only 2012 Olympic Team member and 2012 Olympic Team alternate who were not named to the camp were defenders Amy LePeilbet and Meghan Klingenberg, respectively. LePeilbet underwent ACL surgery earlier this week and Klingenberg is still recovering from shoulder surgery. Amy Rodriguez was initially named to the roster, announced she was pregnant, and will miss the majority of the 2013 campaign. Zakiya Bywaters, the No. 1 selection in the 2013 National Women's Soccer League College Draft by the Chicago Red Stars, was brought into the camp to take Rodriguez's spot.
⢠Midfielder Tobin Heath, who recently signed with Paris Saint-Germain in France; midfielder Megan Rapinoe, who is playing for Olympique Lyonnais in France; goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris, who still has commitments with her German club FCR Dusiburg; and midfielder Christen Press, who is playing in Sweden, all came in a bit late to training camp. All four should be available for selection for both matches.
⢠Seventeen-year-old goalkeeper Jane Campbell will attend training camp for only the first week leading up to the first match against Scotland on Feb. 9. She needs to get back to high school.
⢠Abby Wambach currently has 198 caps and defender Rachel Buehler has 98. Should both play in both games against Scotland, they would hit 200 and 100 respectively in the match in Nashville, Tenn., on Feb. 13.
⢠This will be the first U.S. WNT event since the players were allocated to their NWSL clubs.
⢠The training camp has taken on added significance as U.S. WNT head coach Tom Sermanni is evaluating players to choose his roster for the 2013 Algarve Cup in Portugal that runs from March 6-13.
⢠Seven players on the camp roster are uncapped: goalkeeper Jane Campbell, forward Zykiya Bywaters, defender Crystal Dunn, goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris, midfielder Kristie Mewis, forward Christen Press and midfielder Keelin Winters.
⢠The USA has played in 19 previous matches, posting a 15-4-1 record.
⢠The U.S. WNT's 2012 finale was played in Florida - a 4-1 victory against China PR on Dec. 15 at Florida Atlantic University Stadium in Boca Raton. The win capped off a 10-game Fan Tribute Tour in celebration of its fourth gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Abby Wambach scored her 151st and 152nd goals to lead the way.
⢠Saturday's game will be the USA's second in the Jacksonville stadium. EverBank Field originally was known as Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, and in the only other appearance the U.S. Women dropped a 2-1 decision to Norway on Feb. 4, 1996.
USA vs. SCOTLAND SERIES
⢠The U.S. has played Scotland only one other time, and the USA assertively posted an 8-2 victory on Sept. 8, 2002, at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
⢠Abby Wambach and Mia Hamm each had a hat trick in that game. Wambach's goals were her second through fourth of her career, and they all came in the second half as she was a halftime substitution for Cindy Parlow. LINK TO CLASSIC HIGHLIGHTS?
⢠U.S. defender and team captain Christie Rampone moved past Mia Hamm for sole possession of second all-time in career caps when she played in her 276th match against China PR in the final game of 2012. Kristine Lilly holds the record with 352 caps.
⢠Alex Morgan, who finished third in the 2012 FIFA Women's Player of the Year voting, recorded 21 assists last year to tie for the second-most assists in a calendar year with Carin Jennings (21 assists in 1991). Mia Hamm holds the assists record with 22 in 2004.
⢠Morgan's scoring rate in 2012 ranked second all-time as she compiled 77 points (28 goals, 21 assists). Michelle Akers holds the record with 86 points in 1991 (39 goals, 8 assists).
⢠Hope Solo set a pair of U.S. WNT goalkeeper records in 2012. She earned 26 victories to top her previous record of 23 in 2008, and she also played a span of 1,163 consecutive minutes to pass the previous mark of 990 set by Briana Scurry.
⢠Sydney Leroux set a U.S. WNT record of 14 goals scored off the bench in a year, easily breaking the previous bench scoring record of nine goals originally set by Debbie Keller in 1998.
⢠The USA's 120 goals in 32 games in 2012 ranked third all-time for a calendar year. The U.S. Women scored a record 124 goals in 41 games in 2000 and tallied 122 goals in 28 matches in 1991.

⢠The O'Hara Experiment
TOM SERMANNI FACT FILE: Tom Sermanni was named head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team on Oct. 30, 2012, becoming the seventh head coach in the team's history. Sermanni comes to U.S. Soccer after eight years as the head coach of the Australia Women's National Team, which he coached in both the 2007 and 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments and reached the quarterfinal stage in both events. Sermanni officially started the U.S. WNT position on Jan. 1, 2013, after interim head coach Jill Ellis managed seven games (5-0-2) in 2012. Sermanni takes over for Pia Sundhage, the 2012 World Coach of the Year for women's soccer, who accepted the head coaching position for her native Sweden.
Below are some of Sermanni's accomplishments:
⢠Sermanni was the 2007 Asian Football Confederation Coach of the Year, leading Australia to a runner-up finish at the 2006 AFC Women's Cup, where the team fell to China in penalty kicks, and to the championship of that tournament in 2010, when the youthful Matildas downed Korea DPR in penalties.
⢠Sermanni coached all three seasons of the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), serving as an assistant for the San Jose CyberRays during the inaugural season, in which he helped the club to the league championship. He was also an assistant for the CyberRays in 2002 before taking the head coaching job of the New York Power in 2003, where he coached U.S. Women's National Team legends Christie Rampone, Shannon Boxx and Tiffeny Milbrett.
⢠Sermanni's coaching career in both men's and women's professional soccer has taken him all over the world, including stints in Japan, the USA and Malaysia. Sermanni began his coaching career in men's soccer in the late 1980s, when he was transitioned from player-coach to head coach of the Canberra Croatia/Metros in the New South Wales State League from 1988-1991.
⢠He coached the Australia Schoolboys side from 1989-1991 and coached the men's program at the Australian Institute of Sport from 1991-1993.
⢠He coached Sydney Olympic FC in the Australian top flight - the National Soccer League - in 1993-1994 before taking his first women's job with the Australian National Team in 1994.
⢠After stepping away from the Matildas in 1997, Sermanni transitioned back to men's soccer, traveling to Japan to coach J-League side Sanfrecce Hiroshima from 1997-1999. He then had a stint with the Canberra Cosmos in the NSL from 1999-2001 before moving to the USA to coach in the WUSA.
⢠Sermanni, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, had a long playing career as a midfielder from 1971 through 1989, when he retired after playing two years with Canberra Croatia and became a player-coach and then head coach. Prior to that, he played from 1984-1987 with Canberra City and in 1983 with Marconi. From 1971 through 1983, he played in England and Scotland, representing Dunfermline Athletic in 1983, Torquay United (England) from 1979-1982 and Blackpool (England) from 1978-1979. He turned professional in 1973 and played six seasons for Albion Rovers from 1973-1978 in Scotland after playing amateur soccer for Cumbernauld United from 1971-1973. Overall, Sermanni played more than 300 professional matches and scored more than 50 goals.

2010 Emerging Artists Award
Converse and Dazed and Confused announced the launch of Converse / Dazed 2010 Emerging Artists Award, a major new art competition to kick off a global creative movement in 2010. It offered an exciting platform to emerging artists, as well as a first prize of £6,000 and an exhibition at Stephen Friedman Gallery, one of London's leading contemporary art galleries.
The competition was open to all UK-based artists under the age of 35 that were not represented by a gallery in the UK and were not students at University or art school. Artists where invited to submit their most innovative and interesting work for the judges' consideration.
There where no limitations on discipline. Video, sculpture, performance and sound entries where all welcome which resulted in a very diverse body of work.
Peter Ainsworth turned out to be the best artist, and took home the award. Francesca Gavin, Dazed's visual arts editor, said: "Peter's work stood out to the judging panel for his ability to transform a deeply personal and near autobiographical experience into an abstract idea for the audience to engage with. His use of photography to document his objects lends an air of authenticity to the work and is an exciting use of the medium".
Peter's work was exhibited at the Stephen Friedman Gallery in London during the summer alongside the work of the other four shortlisted contestants.
The award was be paneled by esteemed artists, presenters and fashion insiders including Tim Marlow, Sadie Coles, Isobel Harbison, Francesca Gavin, Mark Titchner and Tom Morton. From all the entrants, they shortlisted five: Steve Bishop, Laura Buckley , Francesca Anfossi ,Peter Ainsworth and Jess Flood-Paddock.

Upscale Ethiopian food meets East Aurora
For the better part of two decades, Tantalus and Medici House offered East Aurorans an eclectic mix of dishes from familiar cuisines, a chance to step away from the ordinary.
The new restaurant from Laurie Kutas and John Rooney isn't a step away, it's an international flight. Theas introduces the mysteries and satisfactions of Ethiopian cuisine to the Southtowns. What they've created is the classiest Ethiopian restaurant in Western New York.
Ethiopian cuisine is a latecomer to the Buffalo area. When Theas opened this year, its dense, complex stews, sautéed dishes and injera flatbread could be found at two small restaurants and a lunch counter operated by immigrant families. Theas' owners wanted to offer the cuisine they had loved and cooked at home for years to the masses. So they split their existing restaurant, Medici House, in half, and made one side Theas.
Theas' dining room is decorated in earth tones, adorned with African tapestries and art. Before ordering food, I selected a flight of beer ($9.50) with four 4-ounce glasses of interesting craft selections that ranged from a floral, hoppy beer to a smoked stout.
For appetizers, we ordered avocado salad ($9), kitfo, ground beef in spiced butter ($12), buticha, chickpea dip ($6), potato balls ($8) and chicken wings in berbere spices ($9.95).
For entrees, we asked for the vegetarian sampler platter ($28) and two classic stews, doro wot, chicken drumstick and hard-boiled egg ($12) and alitcha wot, beef chunks in mild sauce. Theas also offered rice bowls, stew over red rice. We asked for the mushroom ($12.50) and chicken ($14) versions.
Avocado salad was halved grape tomatoes, field mix greens, red onion and sliced avocado, a minimalist arrangement with a black sesame seed dressing. I was happy to eat fresh green things but wished there was more of it.
The berbere wings were outstanding, our favorite dish of the night. The intoxicatingly complex spice mixture – berbere usually includes cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, fenugreek and more – elevated the pedestrian chicken wing to a dish worth the drive.
By comparison, the chickpea dip, served with pita bread, left me flat. The menu said it included garlic and lemon, but I still yearned for a zesty hummus. Potato balls were two patties of collard greens and potato, well-browned and tender, served with three dipping sauces. Simple but satisfying, I would have eaten more.
Kitfo is an Ethiopian dish of fresh ground beef that's been soaked in clarified butter and simmered with a spice mixture that starts with cardamom. Ethiopians eat it raw for the most part, the steak tartare of northwest Africa. Restaurants here tend to give you partly cooked ("lebleb") versions unless you specify otherwise. That's how Theas did it, serving the spiced meat with a side of fresh house-made cheese and rolls of injera, the Ethiopian sourdough pancake used as bread.
I've eaten four Ethiopians' versions of kitfo in Buffalo, and enjoyed each one. The Theas version was overpowered by the spice mixture, so I could not taste the beef.
The vegetarian sampler platter arrived as six vegetable and legume dishes arrayed on a sheet of injera with green salad, fresh cheese and house-made hot sauce. It was beautiful and delicious, a deft exploration of the strong vegetarian emphasis in Ethiopian cuisine.
The dishes included beets simmered with lemons, red and yellow lentils, collard greens, caramelized onions and potatoes, and sautéed green beans. Each had their own blend of spices, from the mild, sweet beets to the intense lentil purees. We scooped up samples with folds of injera, and agreed the platter would make a fine vegetarian dinner for two.
The rice bowls, stews ladled over chewy red rice, were disappointing. The mushrooms tasted mainly of turmeric, and the meat in the chicken breast version was chewy.
By contrast, both the doro wot (chicken drumstick) and alitcha wot (mild beef) stews were excellent, offering velvety tender meat. Their spicing was complex and even intriguing, lingering pleasantly after the dish had been finished. They were as good as or better than any I've had, except the chicken stew was missing its hard-boiled egg.
For dessert, we ordered baklava, crème brûlée and chocolate cake ($7.50 each). The cake was average, the crème brûlée's texture closer to soft-scrambled eggs than creamy custard. The baklava was terrific, a pielike wedge that was flaky, syrupy, nutty and dotted with more black-and-white sesame seeds.
I don't consider myself an Ethiopian cuisine authority, but I have come to love the cuisine through many meals at Lucy's, Gatur's and Abyssinian Ethiopian at the West Side Bazaar. I would now add Theas, where you can enjoy resonant Ethiopian flavors in a nicer setting, with bustling service and a full bar.
If you already enjoy Ethiopian cuisine, or are even considering it, give Theas a try.

Egypt's Islamist president-elect, Mohamed Morsi, wants to "reconsider" the peace deal with Israel and build ties with Iran to "create a strategic balance" in the Middle East, according to an interview published by Iran's Fars news agency on Monday.
The stated goals are certain to alarm Israel and its ally the United States as they adapt to the new direction Egypt will chart withMorsi at the helm.
They could also boost Iran's influence in the Middle East at a time of heightened tensions between Tehran and the West.
"We will reconsider the Camp David Accord" that, in 1979, forged a peace between Egypt and Israel that has held for more than three decades, Morsi was quoted as telling a Fars reporter in Cairo on Sunday, just before his election triumph was announced.
He said the issue of Palestinian refugees returning to homes their families abandoned in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and the 1967 Six-Day War "is very important".
Morsi added though that "all these issues will be carried out through cabinet and governmental bodies because I will not take any decision on my own."
Morsi also said he was ready to improve ties with Iran. The Islamic republic broke off diplomatic relations with Egypt in 1980, a year after Cairo signed the peace deal with the Jewish state.
"Part of my agenda is the development of ties between Iran and Egypt that will create a strategic balance in the region," Morsi was quoted as saying.
Although Morsi resigned from Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood to take the top job, Israel is wary of his election, fearing his Islamist record could jeopardise the chilly peace it has long enjoyed with its huge neighbour.
Iran's foreign ministry on Sunday welcomed Morsi's triumph. Its message made no mention, however, of Iran and Egypt resuming diplomatic ties.
Iran's clerical leadership contends that the Arab Spring that toppled veteran Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak and other longtime US allies in the Arab world last year was inspired by its own 1979 Islamic revolution.
Although Iran's predominant faith is Shiite Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood adheres to the Sunni branch of Islam, Tehran has been reaching out to the organisation in Egypt in recent months.
Iran's armed forces chief of staff, General Hassan Firouzabadi, on Monday was quoted by IRNA as echoing the Muslim Brotherhood's rejection of moves by Egypt's military to dissolve the Islamist-led parliament and to give itself a greater say over government policy and the constitution.
"The actions of the military council in Egypt, which considers itself to be selected by Mubarak, lack legal validity and political legitimacy," Firouzabadi said.

Paris (Jul. 20)
An Arab broadcast on the Paris radio, today, commenting on the forthcoming world Zionist conference in London the end of this month, says that it is rumored that 100,000 Jews, including 25,000 orphaned children, will be allowed to enter Palestine.
The broadcast, which gave no source for the rumor, said that British authorities feel that the admission of these Jews would not injure the Arabs of Palestine.

IC & rectal prolapse?Advertisement :
Ok I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem. I was diagnosed with IC over 10 yrs ago, basically thru trial & error we found that bi-monthly DMSO shots combined with elmiron and i'm not doing too badly (touch wood). About 2 years ago I had to have a hysterectomy ( was left with one ovary) and now it seems that I have another problem, rectal prolapse (or basically my butt is falling out). I am scheduled to go for a bunch of tests and then in june or july I will end up going in for surgery # 10 where I will be opened up, possibly have my colon stretched out, possibly re-sectioned and re-attached to my spine....fun huh?
Basically I was wondering if anyone else has had to go thru the rectal prolapse and if they had any tips. sugestions?
oh and I probably should mention that I'm only 40, the dr's keep commenting on teh fact that I seem too young to have all these problems
thanks for letting me rant
I had a rectocele repaired in about 1996. My doctor told me they are usually caused by straining to have a bowel movement. The surgery wasn't bad; I was in the hospital one night and couldn't lift anything for several months.

Anyone who says something is foolproof hasn't met a determined fool
It is very common to have a rectocele after a hysterectomy is done. Once the uterus is gone then "things other organs fall down" So the rectum prolapses into vaginal cavity. It is something you will want to get fixed. Some patients will have lots of problems with constipation or moving bowels become difficult. It is an overnight surgery you can go home the next day if you can urinate. Sometimes a patient can't urinate from the swelling of the surgery and may have to go home with a catheter for 24-48 hours not the norm but it does happen. I have never recovered a rectocele that went home that same day . You will have a catheter overnight. Pain medicine is ordered.
My mother had this surgery done after a hysterectomy then the rectocele for her became bigger as it dropped without the uterus being in anymore.
take care Vicky

thanks for the info, my main concern is that the prolapse isn't vaginal it's totally rectal. with each bm more of my rectum protrudes more and more. and since i'm looking at a surgery date of sometime in june/july I figure I will be dragging my backside on the carpet like a dog (ok sorry for the gross analogy) I'm coming to the conclusion that if I don't laugh about this I'll cry

'Shape up or ship out': but six in 10 governors say it's too hard to shift bad apples
Six out of 10 school governors believe it is too difficult to sack failing heads and teachers, according to a new study.
A joint survey carried out by The TES and the National Governors' Association (NGA) revealed that governors are becoming increasingly frustrated with the complex and lengthy capability procedures.
Out of more than 900 governors who completed the survey, 59 per cent said they agreed or strongly agreed that it was too difficult to sack failing heads and teachers - up a third from the last TESNGA survey in 2009.
Just 13 per cent of governors who took part in the latest survey said they did not think it was too difficult for schools to remove underperforming employees.
Martin Johnson, deputy general secretary of education union the ATL, said this reflected the growth of a "shape up or shift out" policy in some schools, rather than helping teachers improve their performance.
NGA chief executive Emma Knights said: "Definitely the view has hardened. In just two years there has been a significant shift.
"Some of our members have complained it takes an incredibly long time if they want to get rid of someone on competence issues.
"There seems to be a caution among some school leaders to really grasp that nettle."
In the 2009 survey, just 44 per cent of respondents said it was too difficult to remove failing teaching staff.
In May, education secretary Michael Gove announced a consultation on teacher performance-management procedures, in order to free schools from "complex red tape".
"We must deal with this problem in order to protect the interests of children who suffer when struggling teachers are neither helped nor removed. Schools must be given the responsibility to deal with this fairly and quickly," he said.
But Mr Johnson said most cases of substandard teacher performance were "rarely cut and dried".
"Competency is a much more complex issue than that. A teacher may not be able to perform well in one setting, but could do well in a different setting," he said.
"There has been a sharp increase in the number of disputes in schools that (conciliation service) Acas is having to intervene in.
"This suggests the growth of a trend of some school leaders taking a harder line to managing, a `shape up or shift out' attitude.
"A teacher's positives and negatives should be discussed frankly in a professional dialogue.
Areas for improvements should be set out, and the resources made available to ensure these improvements are managed; capability is a sign of the failure of the management," Mr Johnson added.
A Department for Education spokesman said: "For far too long schools have been trapped in complex red tape when dealing with struggling teachers.
"That's why we are currently consulting on a new, simpler and faster system which will help schools deal with poor performance in a fair way."
Insight, pages 22-23
Governors' view
- 48 per cent of governors said their school had already altered its curriculum as a result of the introduction of the English Baccalaureate.
- 68 per cent of governors said they would need to reduce spending on school staff over the next two years due to financial constraints.
- Training should be mandatory for governors, according to 90 per cent of respondents.
- 42 per cent of respondents said they disagreed or strongly disagreed that the amount of bureaucracy had been reduced since the Coalition came to power.
- 51 per cent of governors do not think that more schools converting to academy status would drive up overall standards. Just 25 per cent thought this would improve the quality of education.

SS loss not the end of playoff drive, hopes
By DON WALLACE, News-Telegram Sports Editor
Oct. 6, 2008 - The winning streak snapped and it is over.
So, probably is the statewide ranking in the Associated Press football poll.
But as far as playoff hopes and dreams, nothing has changed.
The 32-13 loss at Longview still stings a little, but it has not changed any of the goals or aspirations of the 2008 Wildcats.
The loss is important to look at what it did and what it didn't do.
Sulphur Springs head coach Greg Owens said earlier last week that a team could make the playoffs even with a loss to Longview. In fact, several teams could do this trick. You could even lose to the Lobos and still win the District 13-4A title, depending on how the race goes.
After two weeks of district play the Wildcats are 1-1. That's better than two teams, tied with three others and below 2-0 Longview and 1-0 Marshall. The race is still wide open.
Owens said earlier in the year, he might have thought Texas High was the team to beat. But as the game with Longview got closer it was evident that the Lobos were the best team Sulphur Springs had seen all year.
Longview deserved their No. 6 ranking, just like Sulphur Springs deserved to be No. 7.
But the Lobos had a team which had strong points which did not make up well with the Wildcats.
Officials close to the Longview football program told me weeks ago that the Lobos defensive front was one of the best they had seen in years. That they were better than even some 5A schools.
Well, seeing was believing as they held the rushing attack to 83 yards. They harassed, chased and bothered Wildcat quarterback Tyrik Rollison all night. Rollison was sacked seven times, but hit numerous other times as he was on the run all night and threw the ball 52 times. The Lobo defensive line controlled the line of scrimmage and several plays which had been working for Sulphur Springs earlier in the year, did not work against the big, quick Lobos.
Longview, now 2-0 in district, can move on and march toward the playoffs. But, so can Sulphur Springs.
Sulphur Springs has Texas High coming up Friday and it's time to begin another winning streak. This one could carry the team all the way to the playoffs as the Wildcats try for another district crown.
Texas High, a team which was ranked earlier in the year, has seen the wrath of Longview as well. The Tigers fell 41-7 to the Lobos. They are in the same boat as the Wildcats, trying to win as many games as they can so they can earn a playoff berth.
For the Wildcats the task is important. You not only want to get in the playoffs, but get a high enough seed where you are not bounced out after the first week.
Losing to Longview hurt, but was not a season killer. It was not do or die.
The Wildcats can regroup and have a fantastic end to what has been a thrilling season for six weeks.
Buckle up, the next few games could be a bumpy ride.
