Proving you can pay for higher education is as easy as earning a scholarship, qualifying for a loan or -- for the supersavers -- tapping a college fund. But how do you prove to your institution that you have money to live?
That's what some students at a University of Oxford college are expected to do -- but one postgraduate student claims the rule discriminates, and he is taking the college to court.
According to BBC News, Damien Shannon is suing U.K.-based St. Hugh's College for allegedly denying him a spot in a yearlong course due to financial reasons.
"Poorer" students are required to provide a financial guarantee that they can afford the living costs associated with attending the college. Shannon had taken out a loan to cover his tuition and fees but could not prove he had access to more money -- about $20,400 -- to cover living costs.
He called the figure the college came up with "excessive" and added that it does not consider money that students may earn from part-time jobs they work while taking courses.
St. Hugh's College released a statement saying the financial guarantee requirement "is made clear to potential applicants" and that the University of Oxford has shed light on the "need for a postgraduate student loan system that will allow the brightest postgraduates to take up their places regardless of financial circumstances."
Should college students everywhere be required to prove they're wealthy enough to match their institution's standard of living?

Some people believe in Divine religions revealed to them by God. Others, are devoted to religions they have made up for themselves or that have been produced by the society they live in. Some worship totems, others the Sun, while others beseech beings from outer space.
Evolutionists also adopt the theory of evolution, and indeed use science as a general religion. These people say they place their faith in scientific fact proven by means of concrete evidence. They also regard themselves as representatives of a concrete reality, superior to religion. These deceptive claims of evolutionist pagans place them in an imaginary position above other religious believers. For them, accordingly, other religions are subjective beliefs, whereas evolution is an objective reality. Using the false authority bestowed by this deception, they call on other religious believers to follow them. According to the evolutionist's argument, if other religions accept evolution and the concepts that follow from it, then all socio-political measures based on evolution will be perceived as a moral teaching.
Of course there are some beliefs still current, labeled as religious and involved in religious emotions that are flatly incompatible with evolution and therefore are intellectually untenable in spite of their emotional appeal. Nevertheless, I take it as now self-evident, requiring no further special discussion, that evolution and true religion are compatible. 158
This implies that evolution and the scientific teachings developed on the basis of it have the authority to judge other religions. It will be up to evolutionist science to decide which religions or which interpretation will be regarded as the "true" one. The teaching referred to as true religion makes no claims regarding the observable universe and that makes do solely with setting out moral criteria for human beings. Everything to do with the observable universe—science, economics, politics, law, etc—is to be determined in the light of an evolutionary conception.
While this totalitarian approach imposes the theory of evolution on society as a scientific fact, it also keeps a tight reign on scientific circles. Most present-day biologists worship the pagan religion in question, and any who do not share that belief are silenced. In this system, the theory of evolution becomes a sacred cow. Scientists who reject evolution lose any chance of rising in their careers.

If sex and romance have gone out the window in your relationship, follow these five tips to get them back.
-Faye Brennan
Women are very good at coming up with excuses for why we don't want to "do the deed" tonight. It's no longer about just having "a headache" — we avoid sexy time because we feel bloated, too tired, angry, lazy, self-conscious… and the excuses go on and on.
But, making time for intimacy–and fully enjoying it–is a key component to any healthy, happy relationship. More often than not, the couples who complain about a lack of romance are also the ones who are logging the least amount of time in the bedroom.
Read Kate Middleton: Royalty's Freshest Fashion Icon
To get both back in to your relationship, we turned to certified sexologist Nikki Morgan for her expert tips and advice. Here's what she suggests you start doing now:
1. Surpass tiredness by making sex a goal.
After a long, stressful day at work, taking care of the kids, and getting everything else done on your "To-Do" list, sex is something you might want to happily not do. But instead of giving up on the prospect out of tiredness, make an effort to get psyched for it early on in the day. "Sending your partner a few flirtatious text messages throughout the day will help sustain–and build!–that energy until bedtime," says Morgan. "At the end of the day, slip into something that makes you feel sexy, let go of any expectations, and enjoy time with your partner exchanging caresses and kisses in sensitive areas. Enjoy the build-up of your sexual energies lying next to each other, and you'll soon begin to feel your back-up energy reserve kick into high gear."
2. Let go of your anger and hug it out.
Fights are inevitable in any relationship, but how you deal with them is completely up to you. Holding on to grudges and anger towards your partner will just make it harder and harder for you to be open to romance. "If you're addressing a small annoyance like toothpaste tops being left off (again!) or toilet seats not being closed (again!), agree to call a truce and uphold romantic plans you may have for the evening," suggests Morgan. "Also, as corny as it sounds, hug it out! Real, meaningful hugs last a minimum of 30 seconds, and provide a level of comfort and contact that can relax and reconnect you and your partner."

Object Stuck in a Child's AirwaySkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
An object can become stuck in the airway at any age but is most common in children younger than age 3. Although a child may not have any symptoms when something is stuck in his or her airway, any of the following symptoms may occur:
- Rapid, noisy, or high-pitched breathing
- Increased drooling
- Difficult, painful swallowing, or the complete inability to swallow
- Gagging
- Refusal to eat solids
- Pain in the neck, chest, or abdomen
- Vomiting
Since a small child may put anything in his or her mouth, it is important to be aware of what is within reach. The windpipe is about the same size as the diameter of your child's little finger. It is best to keep objects less than 1.25 in. (3.2 cm) out of a child's reach.
Pieces of food, such as hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, and candy, are the most common objects that cause airway blockage, with round foods being most frequent. Small parts of a toy, the eyes sewn on a doll, or buttons from clothing can become stuck in the air passage. Latex balloons are particularly hazardous, because even a tiny piece can completely block the airway.

January 16 – Agra
(written by Felicia Yu, photos by James Hearsum)
(We make the Taj Mahal look good…)
No trip to India would be complete with a visit to the Taj Mahal. And what would a visit to the Taj Mahal be without the experience of waking up before the crack of dawn for a chance of seeing the sun rise over those famous white minarets?
Video Link – The Taj!!!
Luckily we were all able to get ourselves up at 5am in order to get there in time. Unluckily, none of us thought to check what time the sun actually rose, so we ended up being more than an hour earlier than necessary. And then there was the small matter of the fog and clouds not lifting until the afternoon…
(The Gardens)
Regardless, we can all now assure anyone that the Taj Mahal is not overrated, sunny weather or no. It deserves its reputation as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, if not the most beautiful.
As you approach, the surrounding red sandstone buildings keep the Taj out of sight until the last possible moment, and then bam! There it is. The Taj Mahal. Majestic even on a misty morning, even with a healthy population of tourists wandering around, backed by nothing except the sky because of its high placement above the banks of the Yamuna River.
(James found an Indian 'friend' who took a few photos of him. Here's one of the 'gems'!)
Before approaching the mausoleum itself, all visitors must remove their shoes or else wear the bright red shoe covers provided by the tourism office, to protect the white marble plaza and floors of the mausoleum where Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan are entombed. Up close, the white marble is actually swirling with naturally occurring blues, oranges, pinks, and grays. The borders of every doorway and wall panel are either carved ornately or inlaid with semiprecious stones in varying floral patterns. Symmetry rules in every direction, down to the surrounding buildings.
(Ram Bagh Garden: a view from the top terrace)
Our second visit of the day was to the Ram Bagh, India's oldest Mughal garden, built by the Emperor Babur in 1528. The garden is among the oldest formally designed landscapes in the world. We spent some time wandering up and down the straight pathways, regretting that the channels which would normally carry a cascade of water down from the top terrace to the lower level of the garden were dry, while the water pump system was being repaired. A couple of the garden's caretakers were able to show us around and explain some of the history and background of the place. The garden is currently being restored, with new plantings already in place throughout the symmetrically placed lawns.

Sometimes, the biggest challenge can become the greatest success. Middle school teacher Ms. Robbie Teague experienced this when Ryan came to her class as a refugee of Hurricane Katrina who was on the verge of dropping out of school.
"One day I noticed he was writing and I snatched up the paper." Robbie discovered that Ryan had a talent for writing poetry, and she took him aside and asked if he would like to use his talents to become an entrepreneur. Ryan had been writing poetry and taking part in rap battles back in New Orleans. "I become popular in my community because of my music," he says. But that community would soon cease to exist.
When Hurricane Katrina hit his home, Ryan and his family was evacuated to Texas, where they spent two years living in temporary housing before finally finding a permanent residence. That shock of instability led to Ryan falling behind in his classes and losing focus on his music.
"I turned 180 degrees that day by being in the NFTE program," says Ryan of the moment Robbie and NFTE helped convert his talent into a business idea, and he has never looked back. Since then Ryan's schoolwork has vastly improved and he placed first in the NFTE Greater Dallas citywide business plan competition, winning investment capital for his business.
Ryan's business, Boot Strap Muzik, is a hyper hip hop indie record label with a New Orleans flavor that features online distribution of recording artists' music. "I will work with young artists and show them how to find their beat," says the young entrepreneur.
Ryan has inspired several of his fellow classmates as well. Robbie says many of Ryan's peers have been behaving better and coming to her NFTE class eager to showcase their own talents through starting a business.
"NFTE has helped Ryan beyond just the skills needed to write a business plan. It has helped him develop his artistic skills in music and acting; his confidence in himself has grown."

C. J. DENNIS wrote about love in a very Australian way back in the day. The way he went about it was honest and workmanlike, but also unashamed and unafraid. Dennis, or "Den" as he was called, didn't write songs or at least not that we know of. But what is a love song, if not the prose of love set to a tune?
In his verse novel The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke from 1915 – written in an old bus at Kallista in the Dandenong Ranges – his lovable rogue antihero was called Bill, and Bill hung around the bad boys of Little Lonsdale Street. But then Bill met Doreen, who worked in a pickle factory.
She's not a petty crook like him; she's a nice girl from the right side of the tracks. He is smitten and falls in love. Big love, like Australia. Unable to be tamed or properly explained. He's full-blooded, he's head-over-heels, and he's faster and more single-minded than a drainpipe rat.
The narrative here is of the bludging outsider, the one looking in to where the "everyday" people are, being broken in by the virtuous and well-raised daughter of respectable Melbourne. When he first meets Doreen's Ma, later in the tale, she looks hard for any uprightness in him.
As he is courting Doreen, Bill wants to get his leg over. Then he wants to be married. He wants to be inside the circle from which he has always been excluded, and he wants to be seen to be doing the right thing.
It's great, and also very real. Like a Paul Kelly love song. The one I think of first is When I First Met Your Ma, even though the sting here is that romantic love doesn't always last. "Like a bird," Kelly sings, it "flies away". Kelly writes of walking and kissing in the Fitzroy Gardens, the couple stopping to save themselves then lying together in her father's house, but: "... then her dad came pounding and kicked me out of there, I walked two miles in Melbourne rain, I could have walked 10 more."
C. J. Dennis' Bill takes Doreen on a date to see a show, Romeo and Juliet. "The swell two-dollar touch" in a place with "a chair apiece wiv velvet on the seat". There's a wonderful verse where they are watching Romeo and Juliet on the balcony kissing "wiv pretty words, like two love-birds" and Bill nudges Doreen, who is misty-eyed. "An' I squeeze 'er 'and."
THE most popular song at weddings last year, according to all the surveys, was Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers. By rights, wedding songs must be love songs in the popular imagination. The No.1 at funerals was My Way by Frank Sinatra, also a love song of sorts, one of self-love, though not in the same way as Turning Japanese by the Vapours or I Touch Myself by the Divinyls.
Unchained Melody would seem almost to be the perfect love song, in a very traditional way, expressing romantic love through a godly gaze, a very 1950s vision of how a man might "correctly" love a woman. It is very male and conservative, and it is as much about separation as togetherness. It expresses the yearning for love rather than love itself, which is a pretty true expression, I think. The promise of love could be said to be the sole motivation to keep living a life.
I would put it near Love Me Tender, sung by Elvis Presley, as among the greatest of all love songs. Love Me Tender was written a long time before Elvis got his hands on it, as an instrumental. The words – "... I'll be yours through all the years, 'til the end of time ..." – were written by the music director of the Love Me Tender film and his wife. Would it express romantic love so well without those words? Maybe so. The right sparse chords, gently rising strings and soft human voices: that's sometimes all it takes.
If you have a look at the track listing for Aussie Love Songs, an iTunes-only release of summer 2011 with two bronzed beach people in front of the flag for the "artwork", there's not a huge amount that rises above the generic. The problem is that it's so easy for a love song to slide into a kind of generalised default: consider that it wasn't until Paperback Writer, backed with John Lennon's Rain, in 1966 that the Beatles put out a single with neither A or B side about love.
On Aussie Love Songs are Believe Again by Delta Goodrem, Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden, Til You Love Me by the McClymonts and Keith Urban's Only You Can Love Me This Way. These are the love songs that deal not in specifics but the widest generalities. They couch love in layers of metaphor so deep that they appeal most to those who believe in cheap syndicated horoscopes.
Unchained Melody has this. It uses water as a device; it has lonely rivers flowing "to the open arms of the sea", a living thing moving towards its source, where it will stop and be content. Yet Delta's Believe Again even asks generic questions within its generic nature – all-encompassing questions, nonsense questions, carnival psychic questions. Have you ever stared into the rain? Have you ever spun out of control? These are open invitations to overlay your own love problems or love desires or love journeyings onto a more-or-less blank canvas. The song tells us nothing. The delivery – unlike, say, Love Me Tender – also tells us nothing, and invites us to feel so very much as to reduce it to nothingness.
This is the ultimate vacuity of the singer-songwriter: to write songs so general they become void. Love songs are especially vulnerable to this. Urban's Only You Can Love Me This Way, written by Nashville songmakers, falls right into this gaping hole: "... we can roll with the punches, we can stroll hand in hand ..." The McClymonts, an internationally successful country trio of sisters from Grafton, New South Wales, reprise the title of a '90s nu-country smash for Reba McEntire in Til You Love Me, also written by Nashville hit-makers, but the Australian version cloys with generalities such as "... open your arms and show me your heart ..." – the standard female plea to the stereotypical hardened male who cannot let love in.
WHAT is true love, then? What means true love in song? Or what is it true to sing?
The folk singer Woody Guthrie said in his book Bound for Glory, written in the 1940s, that if a person wanted to write their own song rather than recycle those of others, then look around. Look at things that happen in a micro, not macro, sense.
"If a cyclone comes, or a flood wrecks the country," he wrote, "or a busload of schoolchildren freeze to death along the road, or if a big ship goes down, and an airplane falls in your neighbourhood, an outlaw shoots it out with the deputies, or the working people go out to win a war, yes, you'll find a trainload of things you can set down and make up a song about."
This was Woody's great schtick, of course: the dustbowl, the sharecropping families, the working people and their journeys. But he also wrote love songs, of a kind. The three I'm thinking of are Hard Ain't It Hard, Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Feet and also the hymnal Love Thyself, and although he writes a very direct, unsentimental and specific kind of song, these are still what I would call lateral. The first is the unrequited love song ("true love don't come here anymore"), the second is love-gone-wrong ("the only woman I ever did love, on that train and gone") and the third is about self-love and self-esteem – a kind of Staple Singers' Respect Yourself for the troubled Depression era.
I look at this Aussie Love Songs thing and sift between the chasms of indifference and find Crowded House, Hunters and Collectors' Throw Your Arms Around Me and Paul Kelly. This is what it comes back to time and time again in the search for a true native love song.
I asked Facebook some time ago to cite the best and of the 90-odd people who replied, Throw Your Arms Around Me was the clear winner. I added them up. Crowded House did really well with Distant Sun and Fall at Your Feet but Split Enz did better with the magnificent Message to My Girl ("it's no New Year's resolution, it's more than that ...") but they were a New Zealand band, so I had to discount them in this quest. Throw Your Arms is remarkable. It is lustful in that he will kiss her in ''four places'' but tender in that he will also touch her head and her feet. We know it to be pretty much autobiographical about a love affair Hunters' frontman (and co-writer) Mark Seymour was having.
''Love songs are hard enough to pull off tastefully,'' he once wrote. ''The strength of Arms is in its honesty.'' In it, she has power over him, she makes him shout her name out loud. And when he does so, in the song's astonishing climax, he does it to ''the blue summer sky''.
Paul Kelly is always there or thereabouts in these dizzying realms. His newest record, Spring & Fall, is a song cycle of sorts, about love coming and going, and he tells it from an older, restless man's perspective in language so plain and confronting it almost cuts through romantic notions of love towards purely physical and physiological imperatives. I always deeply felt She's a Melody (Stupid Song) from 1989's So Much Water So Close to Home, an album in which he channelled Raymond Carver (and turned one of his dark, abrupt stories into a song and album title).
She's a Melody has him submitting to the transience of sexual desire and knowing, as he still appears to want to write about, that all things will pass. ''I will carve her name upon the air,'' he sings, ''not in wood or stone.''
Nick Cave is terrific, of course, but is too insincere for me a lot of the time with love. It is too often unclear whether he means what he says and whether he loves women as hard as his at least superficially passionate songs attest. Into My Arms is interesting because it is equally about death as it is about life. Cave played it most prominently at Michael Hutchence's funeral, an act he banned TV cameras from filming.
Cave's apparent love songs, however, are couched in layers of such delicious metaphor that real meaning becomes elusive. The swallows who sharpen their beaks among the colliding angels' chariots and the sky throwing thunderbolts and sparks of Straight to You may refer to the swallow being the ancient Egyptian love poets' totem for the dawning of new love. But it may not. Cave's whole heaven-and-earth obsession and his career-long love/hate narrative with God and the heavy symbolism of heaven makes his poems of ''love'' open-ended.
To write the great Into My Arms, for example, which I do take to be true and sincere, he claims to have left a church in Surrey, England, to jot down the lines, which begin with: ''I do not believe in an interventionist God, but I know darling that you do.''
The song subverts the ''love'' cliche of ''angels'' by not saying ''you are an angel'' but ''I don't believe in the existence of angels, but looking at you I wonder if that's true.'' He believes, later, in only ''some kind of path'' that this love he speaks of can take, but then he deflects everything to the object, to her, singing: ''make her journey bright and pure that she will keep returning always and evermore''. It's not about him, despite the declaration at the beginning. It is about her. And that is probably as close to true love as is possible to find.
True, real love. We need something to believe in. We don't need things to wrap our fantasies around. We need concrete reality. Flame Trees by Cold Chisel gave me a lot of trouble while I was thinking about all this. Is it a love song? If so, to what?
It's undoubtedly one of the great Australian rock songs, but what is it? It's equally nostalgia, longing and love, I think. A man goes back to the Australian bush town where he was raised and feels nostalgia at what he recalls but also distaste at how little things have changed. Yet the landscape, or the streetscape (''at one of two hotels'') reminds him of a girl that he may or may not have loved once upon a time and who is not there now. I take it to mean that she is dead. I also take grief to be pure love caught up and spinning in a supernova of emotion.
C. J. Dennis would approve of Don Walker's lyrics here: ''… but who needs that sentimental bullshit, anyway, it takes more than just a memory to make me cry, I'm happy just to sit here round a table with old friends and see which one of us can tell the biggest lies''. Flame Trees makes me think of that great Melbourne song Under the Clocks by Weddings, Parties, Anything, written by Mick Thomas, a writer well-schooled in bush ballads, folklore, Australian mythology and also urban life. He wrote Under the Clocks as a way of describing a date, in Melbourne, in winter. A ramble along the Yarra, a stolen kiss and onward to the footy at the MCG. The girl he is with (''a Melbourne girl on a rusty Malvern Star'') is so lovely, he sings, ''that if the Saints get done again, by Christ I couldn't care''. In a Melbourne context, that is true love, a love greater than a football man's love for his team. Thomas told me once that his parents Brian, originally from Tasmania, and Margaret, from northern Victoria, would meet under the iconic Flinders Street station clocks and the song was in part a tribute to their love but also an expression of how he had sometimes felt. In plain, lovely terms.
That's what I want from a love song. I want it to be plain, and lovely, like Bill and Doreen at Romeo and Juliet with a chair apiece.

For years, people have used cranberry juice to prevent and
help cure
urinary tract infections (UTIs). There is limited
proof that this is worth trying.
Pure cranberry juice, cranberry extract, or cranberry supplements may help prevent repeated UTIs in women, but the benefit is small. It helps about as much as taking antibiotics to prevent another UTI.footnote 1 Using cranberry products to prevent UTIs may be expensive, and some women complain of the taste. No single concentration of cranberry juice, extract, or supplement has been studied, so it's hard to know which product to choose.
If you do want to try cranberry juice to prevent UTIs, it's better to drink pure, unsweetened cranberry juice (rather than cranberry juice cocktail). Drinking cranberry juice cocktail doesn't seem to prevent UTIs better than drinking any other fruit juice.footnote 2
There is no proof that cranberry can cure a UTI. Cranberry
is not well tested as a UTI treatment.
may affect how warfarin works, which can be dangerous. If you are taking the
anticoagulant medicine warfarin (such as Coumadin), talk to your doctor before
using cranberry to prevent a UTI.

Is it a good idea to run a 12 hour event the weekend before the Monkey?
Buy my wife's sea catchers
I heard someone say that tapering is overrated.
Cool. I heard that too.
BTW, are you talking about Ultracentric?
Mmmhmmm. I'm still trying to decide whether the 1 mile loop course will crush any remnants of my sanity so that I can run the Monkey unfettered.
Yes, it was the Ultracentric 6 hour. More like 3 hours of "running" with 3 hours of run/walking. The 12 hour would be a good chance to see about 50 miles or passing out. Whichever comes first.
Oh Mighty Wing
So what do you think will be worse:
a) running the monkey
b) driving the 13 hours home (~800 miles) after running the monkey

People often call Kennedy Violins and ask about how to take care of their violin. My response is usually to tell them that there is not a lot they have to do, other than wiping off the excess rosin after every practice session, so it doesn't have a chance to build up. However, where a person lives can have a substantial impact on not only the sound quality and playability of their instrument but also whether the parts of the violin stay glued together or not.
Excessive humidity can cause your violin pieces to warp and come unglued but the majority of people have to concern themselves with excessively dry air damaging their violin more than the opposite. The larger your instrument, the more it is affected by changing humidity conditions, so if you are a cellist, you have to pay particular
attention to the water content in the air more than the average violist or violinist. However, not living in a dry area will not get you off the hook. If you live in an area that gets cold in the winter time, you should pay attention to the air quality your stringed instrument is subjected to. Often people in colder climates will keep their home furnaces on 24/7 and the result is very dry air. This can be the death of your instrument, especially if it's a cello or bass. When wood does not have enough water in it, it shrinks and if it contracts enough, it can crack.
At some point in a violin's life, its ribs will start to separate from the top and bottom plates of the instrument because of changing humidity conditions. This is caused by the constant expansion and contraction of the violin parts. Initially, the hair line seams that develop between the ribs and plates are not noticeable to the naked eye, but the sound quality and
responsiveness of the violin will be noticeably hindered to the trained ear.
Gluing the plates back to the ribs is a simple repair and isn't terribly expensive. However, if left unchecked, stringed instruments like basses and cellos can develop cracks on their tops and backs and not only are these repairs expensive but often times will render the instrument unrepairable when considering the cost to correct the problem.
The good news is, it is very easy and inexpensive to control the humidity conditions
that your stringed instrument is subjected to. A simple device like the "Dampit" brand humidifier can be placed in the
F-hole of your stringed instrument when it is not in use and it will
release a small amount of humidity into your violin, viola, cello or bass that will keep it from getting too dry.
You have to re-wet them every day
or every other day, depending on
humidity conditions and they will
last a long time. These devices
even come with a handy paper
humidity gauge, to give you an idea
of what the water content of the air
is. However, the easiest thing to do,
is to just purchase a violin case with
a built in hygrometer gauge.
Every once in a while, simply have a look at the gauge to check the humidity content
in the air. The ideal humidity is probably around 35%-60%.
As long as you keep your instrument in this range, you are probably fine.
Rapidly changing humidity conditions can be quite bad
for your stringed instrument as well, so using a product like
the Dampit can even out the
humidity swings when you have
to use your instrument in
different venues and are unable
to control the conditions to which
your stringed instrument is
Simply paying attention to the air quality around your stringed instrument and using inexpensive devices like humidifier tubes, will ensure that your instrument will sound good, stay in tune, play well and will not need repair for many years!

Daniel Perkins, 31, is said to have had the drugs when he was arrested at an address in Queens Crescent, Chippenham, on Wednesday, April 18, 2012.
It is said the wraps, weighing just under three quarters of a gram, were hidden between his buttocks.
And it is also alleged that a number of text message on his mobile phone related to the trade in drugs.
Perkins, of Erith, east London, is accused of possessing class-A drugs with intent to supply.
No charge was formally put to Perkins and he did not enter any pleas during the brief hearing at Swindon Crown Court on Friday and he did not enter any pleas.
Judge Tim Mousley QC adjourned the case to Friday, May 2, and released Perkins on conditional bail until then.

DETROIT - The city of Detroit forced its police officers, along with every other city employee, to take a 10 percent pay cut last year despite the staggering crime they fight.
Read back: Bing implements union benefit, pay cuts immediately
The police union took the city to arbitration. In an imposed contract that runs through June of 2014, the city asked the arbitration panel to keep police salaries right where they are as a last best offer. The police officers wanted their money back. Their last best offer is the full 10 percent.
The arbitrator split the difference and ruled three weeks ago the officers should get 5 percent back in January. In real dollars, that means a 5-year Detroit police officer was making $53,000 a year and after the 10 percent cut was making $47,000 each year. With the arbitrator's ruling, pay would go up to just more than $50,000 each year come January.
Local 4 has learned the city of Detroit is suing. Mayor Dave Bing's office says the "arbitration panel exceeded its jurisdiction and/or authority by failing to adopt either the last best offer ... on the issue of wages."
A separate statement quotes Mayor Bing as saying "our belief is that the law compels acceptance of the city's offer because of our financial condition."
The police officers' union hadn't seen the lawsuit when Local 4 told leadership about it. This has been a long fight and there is no reason to believe anyone on either side has tempered their positions.
NOTE: Michigan state law 312 calls for a forced settlement between cities and police officers when they can't negotiate a contract.

Hey, So I'm new here!
Been surfing for several years mostly on logs and fun boards but, I get out almost every week and almost year round here in Jersey....
I'm 6' and about 160lbs
Right now I'm on a 6'10 X 21 3/4' X 2 7/8"
Been riding it a lot for almost a year now. I like it well enough. Love the extra float and how easy it is to paddle but, duck diving under the heavy stuff is a PIA and its pretty hard to go vertical on it....imposssible maybe.....I can turn, go rail to rail, got shacked twice but I really wanna be able to go vertical more.
I was thinking like a 6'1 flyer or something. I'm not affraid of making such a big jump. I'll figure it out after a while. lol
Also been looking at the 21-13 line. Seems like nice boards at a good price....
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

MORRISTOWN - Step back in time and stir your senses on a walk through nine 19th century buildings on the 2012 Holiday Tour of Homes and Churches in Morristown. Williamsburg-inspired decorations of fresh pine and fruit, lanterns and candles will be found in five private homes, the Christian Church, Methodist Church, Town Hall and The Vestry, all lining the original National Pike and National Road.
The tour will be held Saturday, Dec. 1, from 4 to 8 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 2, noon to 4 p.m. Tickets may be purchased on Main Street during tour hours for $10 per person.
Morristown, cited as one of the best preserved examples of a National Road town, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This year marks a return of the popular Christmas tour. The last tour was during Morristowns Bicentennial in 2002.
We have been working for over a year to create a 19th century Christmas experience, said John Rataiczak, president of the Morristown Historic Preservation Association, tour sponsor.
The sights and sounds of that experience will include wagon rides, home-cooked food, strolling carolers, and a live nativity.
Adam and Becky Elizeus and their team of Percheron horses will offer wagon rides through the village. Real Life Community of Faith and the Girl Scouts will stage a live nativity and sing carols throughout town. The Boy Scouts will light luminaries along the walks leading to the churches.
In addition, the Morristown Volunteer Fire Department will serve homemade soups, bread, and desserts in the Town Hall. All proceeds from the supper benefit the volunteer fire department. The Flushing Garden Club will sell decorated wreaths from the old Morristown Bank Building on Main Street.
A description of each tour stop follows.
Bernhard House 1838 A traditional Williamsburg apple fan over the front door distinguishes the Jonas Bernhard house at Christmas. This half-house, one of only six remaining in Ohio, is built of brick in the Flemish-bonding pattern, rare for the region. Chestnut-planked floors, four fireplaces, two staircases, and all original woodwork remain in the 174-year -old home that was built by Bernhard, a wagon maker. It is one of the homes restored by the late Margaret Dankworth and is home to Melissa and John Rataiczak. The Rataiczaks host their extended family at the holidays and the dining room table will be set for a holiday feast. The living room has been newly-updated and an addition added over a decade ago will be the setting for a nine-foot Christmas tree decorated with over 500 ornaments. This family room will also feature a photo-wall like none other.
Berry House 1844 A Greek Revival entrance enhances this Federal brick home that was built by John Berry, a tanner, in 1844. The wood floors have been finished and the original windows rebuilt. The homeowner, Judy Bonifield and her late husband Bruce, commissioned artist Charla Maxwell Herbert to paint a floor to ceiling mural of Morristown that starts in the entry and extends 20 feet, following the staircase to the second floor. A huge, open fireplace is the centerpiece of the kitchen and a small, winding stairway leads to the second floor from this room. Nestled amid the greenery on the kitchen mantel will be tiny birds nests, white birds and birdhouses. Berries, nuts and fruit will be scattered throughout. There will be live trees in each of the two front rooms and all the mantels will be piled with live greenery and crystal white lights and ornaments.
Davidson House 1847 - The Robert Davidson House is a fine example of the Carpenter Gothic style, appropriate given its history as a Methodist parsonage from 1917 to 1964. The house has a balloon frame of red oak with poplar lap siding and a cut sandstone foundation. Purchased in 1995 by homeowners Troy Biery and Chip Brienza, the exterior renovation included custom-made wood siding and doors. There are formal and casual areas here and the floor plan is close to its original 2-parlor over 4-parlor design with central hallway. The first floor features original poplar floors while flooring in the kitchen is rare American chestnut. The second floor features three bedrooms and two new bathrooms. A shed dormer added in 2008 complements the historic character of the home. Decorations will feature locally grown Feisley Christmas trees. Garlands will be created from greens grown in Morristown landscapes.
Hanauer House 1841 Nineteenth century merchant Samuel Hanauer built this Federal home in 1841. The Federal is a common style found along the National Road from Maryland to Illinois. This one has 12 rooms, a central hall and stairway that winds its way up two and one-half stories. The house had been vacant for 15 years when current homeowners, Pamela and Tom McCort, purchased and renovated it in 1990. Upon his retirement, the couple transformed one of the four bedrooms into a study that contains pictures and significant objects from Toms 32-year law enforcement career and the couples travels. The nine front windows will be decorated with Williamsburg-inspired pine wreaths while the French Gothic picket fence will be hung with fresh pine, white lights and black lanterns. Kathy Gibeaut of Morristown, a talented gardener and member of the Flushing Garden Club, will decorate the Hanauer House.
Hazlett House 1836 - Morristowns first homes were log cabins lining the National Pike and this house rests atop the rough-hewn logs of the original log cabin that stood along Zanes Trace. As residents prospered from trade along the improved National Road, they replaced their log cabins with the structures seen today. That is what Margaret Hazlett, a shopkeeper, did in 1836. Today, Lisa and Vaughn Butler and their four daughters are at home here. Lisas inspired decorating style is pulled from a variety of sources. The porcelain vessel sink in one bathroom has an antique dresser as its base. Rooms decorated in subtle shades of tan are emboldened with pops of color while cream tones in the kitchen are accented with peacock blue.
Christmas decorations will include thousands of white lights covering the landscaping and baskets stuffed with greenery on each window. Over-sized lanterns hanging from the front porch pillars will welcome visitors here.
The Churches
The importance of faith to Morristowns early settlers is evident today along Church Street (the original National Pike), where four congregations - Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist and Christian - built nearly identical brick houses of worship.
In May 1862, the Stillwater and Auburn congregations finished work on their meeting house, the Christian Church, which sits on the north side of Church Street, complete with baptistry and bell.Pastor Curtis Hallstrom and the congregation will offer refreshments for visitors.
The Morristown Methodist congregation was organized in 1828 and the church was built in 1862 by Asariah Fields at a cost of $2,500. Rev. Gene Miller is the current pastor and the congregation has planned a quilt show at this tour stop.
The Vestry , built in 1848, was the Morristown Presbyterian Church for 160 years. The congregation started in the early 1800s when prayer meetings were held in the homes of people like Margaret Hazlett, whose house is next door. When the building went up for sale in 2009, Vaughn and Lisa Butler, who live in the Hazlett house, purchased it. They transformed it into The Vestry, where parties and small gatherings are held. Christmas decorations will be provided by Ponzani Florist Brenda Ponzani, and Occasions Decorating - Anissa Kirkpatrick.
The Town Hall was erected as a Baptist Church in 1837 and professional decorator/designer Elaine Gacek of Morristown will decorate the Town Hall for Christmas. Visitors will want to linger and enjoy a soup supper served up by the Morristown Volunteer Fire Department both days.
The Holiday Tour of Homes and Churches is a fund raiser for the Morristown Historic Preservation Association, a non-profit organization chartered in the state of Ohio. Past home tours have raised funds to replace village street signs; restore the old Town Hall; re-construct the World War II Veterans Honor Board, and create and fund the villages web site.

West Coast are desperate for him to re-sign beyond next season, but Eagles' defender Mitch Brown is expected to take a wait-and-see approach after having his bid to join St Kilda scuppered.
Brown, who is contracted for 2013, asked to be traded to the Saints after managing just 14 games for the Eagles over the past two years.
Key defenders Darren Glass, Will Schofield and Eric Mackenzie sit above Brown in West Coast's pecking order down back.
But with 31-year-old Glass nearing the end of his decorated career, West Coast view Brown as an integral part of the team down the track.
The Eagles would have granted Brown's wish to join the Saints had Essendon's Cale Hooker agreed to join West Coast.
But after Hooker declined the offer to leave Essendon, West Coast told 23-year-old Brown he wouldn't be traded.
West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett said he expected Brown to gauge how much game time he gets in 2013 before deciding whether to re-sign with the club.
Meanwhile, former Collingwood goalsneak Brad Dick has been upgraded to West Coast's senior list after an impressive comeback via WAFL ranks this year.
The Eagles recruited Dick through the rookie draft last year, and the 24-year-old strung some solid form together for East Fremantle in the second half of the season after recovering from a serious knee injury.
"I'm really happy," said Dick, whose five-year stint at Collingwood was blighted by a series of shoulder and knee injuries.
"I am so pleased the Eagles gave me an opportunity.
"I haven't done a full pre-season for a long time, so I am looking forward to getting back on the 19th (of November) and getting stuck into training.
"I have been working to my own program while I have been on my break and the body feels good."
The Eagles delisted Andrew Strijk, Gerrick Weedon and Ryan Neates, while Quinten Lynch joined Collingwood, Koby Stevens was traded to the Bulldogs and Lewis Stevenson linked up with Port Adelaide.
West Coast, knocked out in this year's semi-finals by the Magpies, secured Collingwood's Sharrod Wellingham, St Kilda's Jamie Cripps and Melbourne's Cale Morton in a fruitful trading period.

|The World's 100 Largest Yachts - 2002
By Diane M. Byrne
A Reuters report from this past May's Cannes Film Festival ran under the following headline: "Swanky Yachts the Hot Ticket for Cannes Dealmaking." The writer described how the truly big deals actually go down in the harbor, where a yacht--the bigger, the better, of course--is "the business accessory par excellence...not to mention a great place to have a party."
Well, it's about time the rest of the world caught on to what we've been saying for 17 years.
Since 1985 we've unabashedly celebrated--and, truth be told, occasionally poked fun at--the grandeur of the largest yachts afloat. Whether commissioned for occasional charters or held strictly for the personal use of their owners, they never cease to amaze us with their opulence, their highly personalized style, and of course their sheer size.
other facts that continue to amaze us:
Without further ado, here are "The World's 100 Largest Yachts." Note that for several years now, we've restricted the list to yachts not maintained for heads of state. (Arguably, it's more impressive to discover a person spent tens of millions of dollars to commission a yacht versus a government using tax dollars for the purchase and maintenance.) All construction information is included, using the following code: L=length; Y=year launched (where two or more dates are given, the latter ones are refit dates); B=builder, N=naval architect, H=hull material, and E=engines. New launches are highlighted in red.
Now if we can only get Reuters and the rest of the mainstream media to stop referring to these yachts as "gin palaces"...

Understanding and Treating Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Understanding and Treating Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Triple-negative breast cancer is a subtype of breast cancer that is clinically negative for expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER/PR) and HER2 protein. It is characterized by its unique molecular profile, aggressive behavior, distinct patterns of metastasis, and lack of targeted therapies. Although not synonymous, the majority of triple-negative breast cancers carry the "basal-like" molecular profile on gene expression arrays. The majority of BRCA1-associated breast cancers are triple-negative and basal-like; the extent to which the BRCA1 pathway contributes to the behavior of sporadic basal-like breast cancers is an area of active research. Epidemiologic studies illustrate a high prevalence of triple-negative breast cancers among younger women and those of African descent. Increasing evidence suggests that the risk factor profile differs between this subtype and the more common luminal subtypes. Although sensitive to chemotherapy, early relapse is common and a predilection for visceral metastasis, including brain metastasis, is seen. Targeted agents, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, are currently in clinical trials and hold promise in the treatment of this aggressive disease.
In 2008, it is estimated that over 1 million women worldwide will be diagnosed with breast cancer, of which 172,695 will be classified as "triple-negative."[1] The triple-negative phenotype encompasses a breast tumor subtype that is clinically negative for expression of the estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR) and lacks overexpression of the HER2 protein, with unique prognostic and therapeutic implications.
Over the past decade, our understanding and treatment of breast cancer has undergone a metamorphosis, shifting from a generally homogeneous approach to a more sophisticated view as guided by gene expression analysis.[2] Multiple studies have reproducibly identified the intrinsic breast cancer subtypes, which include several luminal subtypes characterized by expression of hormone receptor–related genes, and two hormone receptor–negative subtypes—the HER2-positive/ER-negative subtype and the "basal-like" subtype. Contrary to the luminal subtypes, the basal-like subtype is characterized by low expression of ER- and HER2-related genes and clinically is usually, but not always, ER/PR–negative and lack HER2 overexpression, thereby constituting the "triple-negative" phenotype.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that the intrinsic subtypes vary by prognosis, with inferior outcomes illustrated among the two hormone receptor–negative subgroups as compared to the luminal subtypes.[3,4] They may also differ in other important ways. Recent studies suggest that patients with triple-negative breast cancer have a high incidence of visceral metastasis, including brain metastasis. This clinically challenging scenario is an area of fertile research.[5,6]
Unlike the other subtypes, targeted agents specifically aimed at triple-negative breast tumors are not yet available, intensifying the need and interest in advancing novel therapeutic strategies beyond chemotherapy for this subset of high-risk patients. This review will focus on the molecular and clinicopathologic features, epidemiology and risk factors, prognosis, and current and future therapeutic strategies for patients diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, including a brief discussion of intracranial disease.
Definitions and Molecular Features
It is important to clarify the relationship between triple-negative breast cancer and the basal-like phenotype. Triple-negative is a term based on clinical assays for ER, PR, and HER2, whereas basal-like is a molecular phenotype initially defined using cDNA microarrays.[2,3] Although most triple-negative breast tumors do cluster within the basal-like subgroup, these terms are not synonymous; there is up to 30% discordance between the two groups.[7-10] In this review we will use the term "basal-like" when microarray or more comprehensive immunohistochemical profiling methodology was used, and "triple-negative" when the salient studies relied on clinical assays for definition.
In order to fully understand the molecular and pathologic features classically associated with the triple-negative phenotype, a review of the normal mammary gland parenchymal cells, including their immunophenotype, is essential. The more central luminal cells classically express low-molecular-weight cytokeratins including CK7, CK8, CK18, and CK19, along with MUC1 alpha-6 integrin, BCL1, ER, PR, and GATA3. Moving outward toward the basement membrane, myoepithelial cells comprising the basal cell layer express high-molecular-weight cytokeratins including CK5, CK14, and CK17 in addition to smooth muscle–specific markers, calponin, caldesmon, p63, beta-4 integrin, laminin, maspin, CD10, P-cadherin, caveolin-1, and nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) and S100 (see Table 1).[11-16] Classically, basal-like breast cancers have been characterized by low expression of ER, PR, and HER2 and high expression of CK5, CK14, caveolin-1, CAIX, p63, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, HER1), which reflects the mammary gland basal/myoepithelial cell component.[1,17]
Among this list of markers characteristic of triple-negative breast tumors, several are potentially targetable, notably HER1/EGFR. A member of the "basal cluster" intrinsic gene list, HER1/EGFR is expressed in approximately 60% of basal-like breast tumors.[10,18] It has also been observed that c-Kit expression is higher in basal-like tumors. In one study, 31% of tumors expressing basal cytokeratins had c-Kit staining compared to 11% in basal cytokeratin–negative tumors (P < .001).[10]
Finally, several molecules integrally involved in DNA repair are aberrantly expressed in triple-negative breast cancer, which may have implications for chemotherapy sensitivity. High p53 IHC expression or p53 gene mutations are common in basal-like breast cancer.[3,19] Furthermore, one series illustrates that 82% of basal-like breast cancers expressed a p53 mutation compared with only 13% in the luminal A subtype (P < .001).[3] Several additional and targetable molecular pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of basal-like breast cancer include the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway, the Akt pathway, and the poly ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1) pathway, which will be addressed in more detail in the context of BRCA1 and therapeutics below.[8]
Association With BRCA1 Mutation Status
It has been observed that the majority of BRCA1-associated breast cancers are triple-negative and express a high proportion of basal-like cytokeratins (CK5, 14, 17), as well as P-cadherin and HER1/EGFR.[20-24] The BRCA1 tumor-suppressor gene, originally identified in 1994 by positional cloning on chromosome 17q21, is a multifocal protein in many normal cellular functions including DNA repair, transcriptional regulation, cell cycle checkpoint control, and ubiquitination.[22,25]
Several studies have shown that breast tumors arising in women carrying germline mutations of the BRCA1 tumor-suppressor gene are triple-negative.[24,26] Gene expression studies support this association; among patients with BRCA1 mutations, breast tumors tend to cluster within the basal-like category.[4] As BRCA1 is in part responsible for DNA repair, exploitation of this essential pathway holds therapeutic implications in the context of the triple-negative phenotype and will be discussed further below.
Clinical Characteristics, Epidemiology, and Risk Factors
Triple-negative breast tumors have been characterized by several aggressive clinicopathologic features including onset at a younger age, higher mean tumor size, higher-grade tumors, and, in some cases, a higher rate of node positivity.[27,28] A histologic study of basal-like tumors, of which all were ER/HER2–negative, illustrated marked increases in mitotic count, geographic necrosis, pushing borders of invasion, and stromal lymphocytic response.[29] The majority of triple-negative breast carcinomas are ductal in origin; however, several other aggressive phenotypes appear to be overrepresented, including metaplastic, atypical or typical medullary, and adenoid cystic.[8,27,30]
In parallel with our understanding of the molecular basis of triple-negative breast cancer, our awareness of the epidemiology and risk factors associated with this disease process has matured, specifically related to age and race. Among approximately 500 women evaluated in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study, those with basal-like tumors (defined as ER-negative, PR-negative, HER2-negative, CK 5/6-positive, and/or HER1-positive) were more likely to be African-American (prevalence of 26% vs 16% in non–African-Americans) and premenopausal (24% vs 15% postmenopausal). These investigators observed a particularly high prevalence of basal-like tumors among premenopausal, African-American women compared to postmenopausal African-American women and non–African-American women of any age (39% vs 14% and 16%, respectively; P < .001).[27] These findings are consistent with several large-scale, population-based studies indicating that triple-negative breast cancers are more likely to occur among premenopausal women of African-American descent.[31,32]
Several epidemiologic studies have provided insight into risk factors associated with triple-negative breast cancers. Further examination of approximately 1,400 breast cancer cases in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study illustrated that compared to luminal A tumors (ER-positive and/or PR-positive and HER2-negative), basal-like breast tumors were more likely to arise among women with a younger age at menarche, higher parity, younger age at full-term pregnancy, shorter duration of breast-feeding, and higher body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), especially among premenopausal patients. Additionally, those who used methods to suppress lactation were also at higher risk for basal-like breast cancers compared to luminal A breast cancers.[33] Although not definitive, these findings suggest that among younger African-American women, close to two-thirds of aggressive, basal-like breast cancers might be prevented by promoting breast-feeding and decreasing abdominal obesity.
Similarly, the Polish Breast Cancer Study demonstrated a stronger reduction in risk associated with increasing age at menarche for basal-like tumors compared to luminal A–type breast cancer. Among premenopausal women, increasing BMI was associated with a reduced risk of luminal but not basal-like breast cancers.[34] These findings illustrate that breast cancer risk factors vary by molecular subtype (ie, luminal A, basal-like, etc), supporting subtype-specific approaches when examining risk factors and prevention.

Trouble breathing, coughing, stuffiness and more. 60 million people suffer from allergies and asthma. There's no cure, but now doctors have a new weapon to help these people attack the annoying symptoms.
Karen Ecker, who suffers from severe asthma, lived the last five years a prisoner inside her own home.
"I couldn't have the windows open at all. My daughter would be playing outside and I'd get to watch her," said Ecker.
One day she was fine and the next she wasn't.
"All the sudden I couldn't breathe," she said.
Suffering severe asthma, simply leaving her house was dangerous.
"My lips would turn blue and I would just cough uncontrollably," Ecker said.
Anti-allergy medication, even steroids did nothing to help. Then the FDA approved bronchial thermoplasty. It uses radio-frequency energy to heat up problem areas.
"It seems to reduce the thickness of the smooth muscle, which may reduce the spasming," said Sumita B. Khatri, M.D., MS, co-director of the asthma center at the Cleveland Clinic Respiratory Institute.
A catheter goes through the nose or mouth, into the lungs and delivers thermal energy to the airways.
"And this basket has 4 metal struts on it, which is used to apply heat to the airways of the lung," Khatri said.
It's not a cure, but it's given Karen a chance to start crossing things off her bucket list.
"The first one on the list was a picnic with Steph outside," Ecker said.
Also checked off, a trip to the zoo, fireworks, a family vacation, going out to dinner and her celebration thermoplasty garden!
"It's just a symbol of freedom just to be outside," Ecker said. "At first I would stand at the window and look at it and dream of the day I would be standing out here."
Enjoying what most of us take for granted for the first time in years. Lifestyle changes, steroid inhalers and nasal sprays are a first line of asthma defense. Bronchialtherapy is only used for severe asthma sufferers and has been shown to improve the quality of life by reducing asthma symptoms, lessen the severity of flare-ups and reduce the number of emergency room visits.
Additional Information On Bronchial Thermoplasty:
Bronchial thermoplasty is the first device-based asthma treatment approved by the FDA. It's performed through the working channel of a standard flexible bronchoscope that is passed through a patient's nose or mouth, into their lungs. The tip of the small catheter is expanded to contract the walls of targeted airways. The thermal energy is then delivered to the airway walls to reduce the presence of excess airway smooth muscle that narrows the airways in patients with asthma. By decreasing the ability of the airways to constrict, this new treatment has been shown to help patients with severe asthma gain substantially better control over their disease.
According to a study in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the patients treated with bronchial thermoplasty saw their quality of life improve. They saw a 32-percent drop in asthma attacks, an 84-percent reduction in emergency room visits for respiratory symptoms, a 73-percent drop in hospitalizations for respiratory symptoms and a 66-percent reduction in days lost from work or school or other daily activities due to asthma. Doctors stressed that this device does not cure asthma, but it helps improve the patient's quality of life. There's little risk since there is no incision, but patients may suffer from worse asthma symptoms the days immediately following the procedure.

Tampa, Fla. (September 7, 2006) - The University of Tampa cross country team will host the UT Early Bird Classic, featuring eight men's and women's team, beginning Friday at 6:00 pm. In addition to Tampa, Division I University of Florida and University of South Florida will also participate in the race. The other teams include Florida Southern, Saint Leo and Rollins from the Sunshine State Conference, along with Warner Southern and Webber.
The site of the race is the Sydney Dover Trails in Valrico, with the men's 4-mile race scheduled to begin at 6:00 pm followed by the women's 5K race at 6:40 pm. While there is no limit to the number of runners per team, the top five finishers per school will count towards the overall score of the teams.
Tampa enters the race with high expectations as the women's team has advanced to two consecutive NCAA Championship appearances while winning three consecutive SSC titles. The Spartan women are led by junior Laura Woznicki, who led Tampa with a top time of 11:46, at the USF Cross Country Relays last weekend. Heralded freshman Paige Williams recorded a time of 12:10 in the race as the Spartans defeated USF.
The Spartan men are led by two-time first-team all-SSC runner David Forry, who was also an all-South Region runner as a sophomore last year. While winning the USF Cross Country Relays, Tampa was led by Forry (10:22) and freshman Anthony Nicolosi (10:38).
Directions to the Sydney Dover Trail Park are as follows:
Take I-75 to Brandon exit. Go east on Highway 60 where the park is located on the right. The entrance is just past Sydney Washer Road.

Limbaugh lied about Bush's false uranium claim
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Radio host Rush Limbaugh falsely declared that President George W. Bush, in a State of the Union address, "disowned" fraudulent intelligence concerning alleged Iraqi efforts to obtain uranium from Africa. In fact, Bush did just the opposite: He touted the flawed intelligence as evidence of the Iraqi threat..
Limbaugh's false assertion came in response to a caller to the June 18 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
CALLER: Well, he [Bush] has misinformed the American public.
LIMBAUGH: On what? What did he misinform us about?
CALLER: I'm just talking about the false claim of uranium from Niger, that one that was very specific and stated --
LIMBAUGH: That was a British government claim, and Bush disowned it in a State of the Union speech.
Bush said in his 2003 State of the Union address:
"Our nation and the world must learn the lessons of the Korean Peninsula and not allow an even greater threat to rise up in Iraq. ... The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, had a design for a nuclear weapon and was working on five different methods of enriching uranium for a bomb. The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
On June 12, 2003, The Washington Post quoted a White House spokesperson admitting that the documents that formed the basis for Bush's assertion were, in fact, forged. Director of Central Intelligence George J. Tenet admitted in a July 11, 2003, press statement that the president's claim was false and that -- given serious doubts the CIA and State Department had about the veracity of the African uranium intelligence at the time -- "[t]hese 16 words should never have been included in the text written for the president." (The New Yorker investigative reporter Seymour M. Hersh traced the history of the Niger forgery in a March 3, 2003, article.)
