Home > Community > Health Library > Strabismus
Strabismus is a vision problem in which both eyes do not look
at the same point at the same time. It usually develops during childhood and is
sometimes called "crossed-eyes," "walleye," or "squint."
Normally, the muscles attached to each eye work together to move both eyes in
the same direction at the same time. Strabismus occurs when the eye muscles do
not work properly to control eye movement. Often the cause is not known. Causes
may include farsightedness, head injury, and muscle and nerve disorders that
weaken or damage the muscles that control eye movement.
treatment, strabismus can cause permanent vision problems. Not using one eye
can also lead to poor vision in that eye (called lazy eye or amblyopia).

The life and death story of Notorious B.I.G. (a.k.a. Christopher Wallace).
The brief life and violent death of Christopher 'The Notorious B.I.G.' Wallace always read like a film script: a crack dealer who escaped a life of crime through his unerring talent for rap. Murdered at 24, his legacy includes two multi-platinum albums, one posthumously. This retelling of his life, however, serves him not at all; executive produced by Biggie's friend Sean Combs (Puff Daddy) it plays like a made-for-TV movie; thin production values, stunted dialogue — and while Woolard is a convincing Biggie, Combs, you feel (an unlikely saint in almost every scene), has altered history to his own ends. The second star is for the soundtrack.
A hip hop hagiography that plays like a straight-to-TV movie.

Women have more
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries than men:
women athletes injure their ACLs up to 8 times as often as men
athletes.footnote 1 Experts have identified three areas where
differences between men and women may affect the risk of ACL injuries.
Some studies suggest that the differences in ligament laxity may be due to changing
hormone levels. These studies have shown that there is change in ligament laxity
during the menstrual cycle and that women are at greater risk for an ACL injury
during the ovulatory phase of their cycle than at other times. Other studies have not found a relationship between the menstrual cycle and laxity in the ACL.footnote 2 How hormones affect the ACL is not known.
Training and
rehabilitation programs for women may take the above factors into account. A

Prison term stayed for Willmar, Minn., molester, but probation set at 30 years
WILLMAR — Jesus Cisneros Trevino, 63, of Willmar, was sentenced Monday to 12 years in prison, which was stayed, a 10-year conditional release period, 30 years of probation, 270 days in the county jail and a $250 fine on a first-degree criminal sexual conduct charge for sexual contact with two young girls.
As part of his sentence handed down by District Judge Kathryn N. Smith in Kandiyohi County District Court, Trevino was also ordered to have no contact with the victims or children under age 18, ordered to submit to a psychological-sexual evaluation — if he is not deported — and ordered to register as a predatory offender.
The stayed prison term and local jail time were part of a plea agreement reached earlier in the case. Also included in the plea agreement was the condition that Trevino must comply with all laws, including federal immigration regulations.
The first-degree charge, along with another second-degree count for criminal sexual conduct, was filed after Willmar police began investigating a sexual assault case in January that involved two girls, ages 11 and 16. The younger girl told investigators that Trevino had sexual contact with her between 20 and 30 times, with the abuse ending in late summer of 2011. The girl said the contact, involving sexual touching and indecent exposure, happened at an apartment in Willmar.
The girl reported that she had told the older girl about the sexual assaults.
The older girl said she believed the younger's account because Trevino had done similar things to her, when she was in the same age range, at another residence in Willmar.

Hadlow Ale is made with hops grown within three miles of the village.
It has been launched at the newly refurbished Two Brewers pub, named in honour of long-closed Hadlow brewery, Kenward and Court.
"It's very exciting to be a flagship of anything - and you can't get better than being a flagship for beer," said licensee Graham Hayes.
Men given free beer
"I've been testing it all week - I like it."
Local historian Anne Hughes said that in Kenward and Court's heyday no one in the village needed clocks and watches because the brewery hooter went four times a day.
"Men were given half a gallon of beer a day free - it doesn't seem quite right because the women were only given lemonade," she said.
The beer has been revived by Sussex brewer Harveys.
"We are operating a very similar family brewery," said head brewer Miles Jenner.
"You empathise with that company and wonder what we can do to make sure they're not lost in the dust of time," he said.

Amid all the talk of cuts to payments and impositions of levies in the 2014-15 federal budget, one forecast that has attracted surprisingly little attention is that unemployment will remain "elevated" for the next two years. Indeed, the number of people expected to be looking for work is forecast to rise, not fall. By this time next year, the official unemployment rate is expected to be 6.25 per cent, up from present levels around 5.8 per cent, and it is forecast to stay around 6.25 per cent until mid-2016.
Pity help those among the 700,000-plus job-seekers who might be aged under 30, because the Abbott government will deny them any financial support for the first six months they are out of work. These changes will hit hard in rural and regional areas, where unemployment rates are often far higher than in the coastal cities. But they are only one example of the deliberately harsh and inequitable measures the Abbott government has proposed in its bid to change the community's "culture and mindset" from one that, as the Coalition sees it, expects handouts, to one that rewards work and initiative.
What is missing from that otherwise admirable goal is any genuine consideration of the damage that may be caused to those who, by bad luck or circumstance, suddenly find themselves out of a job or cannot find work in their local community. They will be expected to take any job, irrespective of how meaningless or demeaning it may be, because in that way they will at least get some income and not rely on the government. The unemployed are deemed to be "leaners" by the Coalition's reckoning. They are depicted as being a burden on the government's books and, therefore, a burden on society generally. But dragooning people into work does not encourage creativity or inspire individuals. On the contrary, forced work tends to make people resentful, because they sense their options have been terminated, even if only for a short time.
Absent from this budget is any coherent explanation of how jobs will be created across the community, including in rural and regional areas. Jobs don't just happen, though free-market ideologues believe otherwise. To create new jobs in the private sector, business and consumer confidence has to be on the rise. This budget, though, does little in the short term to inspire consumer confidence. We hope we will be proven wrong on that count.
Treasurer Joe Hockey says budgets "must always be about people". But we sense the Abbott government is more fixated on the mathematical exercise of reducing the deficit and curbing the accumulation of government debt than it is on the impact that its proposed measures will have on people, and especially those who are not well off.
It is all very well, for example, to freeze the pay of politicians for one year, but it is a token gesture that most Australians would hardly describe as a sacrifice. After all, federal MPs have enjoyed a series of substantial pay rises in the past few years and are now on base salaries of $195,130. If the government was serious about sharing the pain of austerity, it would have frozen the salaries of MPs and senior public servants for at least the next three years.
In recent months, Mr Hockey has stated repeatedly that the "age of entitlement is over" and the pain of repairing the budget has to be shared. But being entitled to certain payments is not the same as needing certain payments. To that end, we believe the government has unfairly and rashly targeted certain elements of our community who genuinely need financial support.
At the same time, the proposed deficit tax, to be levied at 2 per cent of each dollar of income above $180,000, is barely a feather-flick of pain for high earners. It is a temporary measure only, not permanent like many of the cuts to low and middle-income earners. It underscores the grossly inequitable, mean and tricky nature of this budget.

Otley's iconic Maypole has been taken down due to safety fears - days before the Tour de France.
The action, carried out by Leeds City Council officers last Friday [JUN 20] following an inspection of the Tour's route, has sparked outrage in the town.
The historic landmark on Manchester Square, which would have been passed directly by the race's riders, was removed after a check confirmed it was rotten and posed an "immediate danger to the public"*.
Otley's MP and ward councillors however, who were given no notice, are demanding that a replacement be installed before the Tour arrives on Saturday, July 5.
Otley Town Council were also only notified on the day. Leader Councillor John Eveleigh (Lab, Ashfield) said: "We're obviously extremely disappointed because the Maypole is a major landmark, and if it's missing for the Tour that will
be very disappointing for everybody.
"It's very regrettable but on safety grounds the officers didn't have a choice.
"The Maypole is under the ownership of Leeds and they are committed to replacing it, so we will get it back.
"Unfortunately, it is unlikely that is going to be done before the Tour comes through town.
"We will of course be making sure that the weathervane and plaque from the old Maypole are fixed to the replacement."
MP Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) was told by council officers that removing the pole, which was more than 50ft tall, was the only option as the area could not be safely cordoned off.
But he is angry at how the matter has been handled. He said: "People in Otley were dismayed at the sudden felling of the Maypole without the city councillors, me as the MP, or local businesses being informed - and so unable to tell people what had happened.
"People will also question whether it could have been removed and repaired, rather than cut down.
"What is crucial now is that the council seeks to put this right by getting a replacement, with the weathervane and plaque, in place by the time the Tour passes through."
Councillor Colin Campbell (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon) added: "This was the largest permanent Maypole in Yorkshire and Manchester Square looks empty without it.
"I understand the decision to cut it down but feel there could have been more public discussion as a number of residents have been quite upset about its loss."
Councillor Sandy Lay (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon), meanwhile, is seeking details about the city council's inspection schedule for the landmark.
He said: "The Tour was awarded in December, 2012 and Leeds has had a considerable amount of time to arrange a risk assessment and consult with elected members with regards the Maypole.
"Its removal just two weeks before the Tour is unacceptable."
A succession of large Maypoles have stood on the same spot in Otley, being replaced every 20 years or so, since the 17th Century.
*Leeds City Council was fined £12,000 after a toddler suffered serious injuries when a rotten flagpole in Otley Memorial Garden fell and hit her in 2012.

PCA's Stage TOO Welcomes Folksinger Art Podell and More This Weekend
Join us as we "step back in time" to New York City's Greenwich Village in the 60s. During the early 1960s New York's The Bitter End Nightclub hosted Folk music "hootenannies" every Tuesday night, featuring many performers who have since become legendary including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Tom Paxton, Peter, Paul and Mary, Odetta and Pete Seeger.
This weekend, May 16-17, Prescott Center for Arts Stage TOO will be transformed into this legendary nightclub. Folksinger Art Podell, a founding member of The New Christy Minstrels, was there at the beginning of the Greenwich Village scene. His new recording "From the Village to the Canyon - A Songwriter's Journey" highlights the days of the "Folk Revival" in the early 6os and "Outside Llewyn Davis," his take on Greenwich Village in 1961, recently aired on KPFK 90.7 FM in Los Angeles. Art will be out tour guide through the era and musicians, including Brad Newman and Tom Agostino, will be on hand to recreate the experience.
Had Art Podell kept a diary, it would have been a rich chronicle of the life of a folksinger during the Folk Era and as a songwriter in the years since, spiced with a healthy serving of laughter. Unfortunately, he didn't. Instead, at the coaxing of friends and former folkies, he is spilling the beans on stage. He began in Greenwich Village with friend and fellow musician, Paul Potash. Art and Paul released two albums on Columbia Records. In the Village, Peter Yarrow, their friend, shared a new song with them called "Puff, the Magic Dragon" and it was Art and Paul who first recorded the song. In 1961, the boys headed west to the L.A. folk scene. "We were so successful," Art remembers while scratching his head, "we broke up." Art turned to songwriting. In short order, he had songs recorded by Rod McKuen, The Smothers Brothers, Glenn Yarbrough, Bud and Travis, Barry and Barry, and, eventually, The New Christy Minstrels, whom he joined as one of the original members in 1962. Quite a ride -- from the Troubadour to Carnegie Hall in less than six months ...national TV, college concerts, European tours, and performances at the White House. Read more at: http://artpodell.com/
Time: 7:30pm. Tickets: $22.00. Call 928-445-3286, or visit www.pca-az.net or folksessions.com.

Is there an easy way to insert an SPSS Text item in output via command syntax?
Technote (troubleshooting)
I'm using SPSS for Windows and I want to be able to add some fairly extensive comments in some output I'm creating, and I want to be able to do it via the command syntax file that creates the output.
I know about the ECHO command, but it doesn't really work for me for several reasons. First, it creates (or adds to) a Log item and not an SPSS Text item. Since I have 'display commands in the log" turned on (from Edit->Options, Viewer), I also keep my Log output items hidden until I need them. When I go to print output, I print all visible output and this way no Log output is printed. So any comments I've added via ECHO are lost as well.
There are several more inconveniences: with PRINTBACK set to ON (which I nearly always have ON), I get two ECHO outputs--one from the "displayed" command syntax, the other from the actual Output. ECHO is also limited to one line of text and I sometimes want to enter a more verbose explanation for the printout.
COMMENT works pretty well for me, but I would like to separate COMMENTS from regular syntax printback in the log items. I found the Insert->Text menu item, and when I saw that it results in a different category of output than Log I was very excited. Now I am just looking for a way to insert that "SPSS Text" category of output directly from syntax.
Resolving the problem
The ability to create an SPSS Text item via command syntax has been filed with SPSS Development as a feature request

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Which means that Cupid is lurking somewhere deep in the shadows! Distract him with a totally fierce pair of heels this February 14th. Everyone knows the traditional V-day colors are red and pink. Follow the rules and find a great selection of red and pink shoes; from heels to flats to sandals to wedges. Wear them on your V-day date, girlfriend trip the movies or that Valentine's Day dance.
We are not saying you HAVE to follow our lead, but here are a few selections worth of lots of love this Valentine's Day.
Ready to wow your date with a sassy and gorgeous pair of heels that will easily compliment your already gorgeous legs? Opt for the bright pink Carrie 3 by Guess?.
Why not wear the mascot flower for Valentine's Day on your very own shoes?! A rose never looked so beautiful and classy as a part of the Sydney Heel by L.A.M.B.
Looking for a simple flat to hang out with the girls? Then try this on for size! Less inches, but still as beautiful, the Ceasar Wedge by Jessica Simpson makes a fun date all its own!
If you are lucky enough to spend the holiday somewhere warm and tropical, this
Paris Hilton Camila Wedge makes for a saucy companion as you walk hand in hand by the beach!
I saved the BEST for last. No matter what plans you have on Valentine's Day, be sure to give these Betsey Johnson Abby Heels a once over. They are my favorite (mostly cause of the fun heart additions) in the V-day department and would work incredibly well whether you are spending the evening dancing the night away, having dinner by fireside or enjoying a few cocktails with the ladies.
It doesn't really matter who you are with this Valentine's Day, but what truly matters is what you wear. Be sure to find "love at first sight" with every shoe you choose; Valentine's Day and every other day!

San Clemente resident Gerry Strickland is an educator who doesn't want to take all the credit for helping students with special needs. He has been teaching in San Clemente since 1983, but he is quick to focus on others besides him.
Here's a closer look:
Q. What is your full-time job?
A. I am the director of transition programs with Capistrano Unified School District. My job covers many programs, such as being the administrator for the largest stand-alone program for people with special needs. The Adult Transition Program serves 110 students in special education ages 18-22.
Q. You also are an administrator at another school, right?
A. Yes, the Bridges Community Day School (in San Juan Capistrano), and I direct a variety of grant-funded programs that I have obtained that pay for most of my salary and bring in almost $2 million each year in additional services to the district for the students.
Q. Educating has long been in your vocabulary …
A. My career has always been associated with connecting people with careers, especially students with special needs. The term "transition," as in transition programs, is defined as helping students move from secondary education to adulthood with the focus on employment skills and employment, independent living and social skills. As you might guess, these are areas all high school students need. I also have facilitated funding regular education programs such as the successful San Clemente High School Automotive Technology Partnership Academy and the Dana Hills High School Health Medical Occupations Academy.
Q. What were your career dreams as a kid?
A. I had various dreams, from national park ranger to medical doctor. I always knew I wanted to help people, and with college and then career experience, I found I enjoyed developing programs.
Q. When did you become interested in teaching people with disabilities?
A. It is amazing how some things work out. I was introduced to Dr. Richard Koch, the first director in the State Regional Center system working with people with developmental disabilities, while hiking in the mountains just out of college. He offered me a job at $500 a month in 1971 at Los Angeles Children's Hospital Regional Center. Since then, I have always worked with people with disabilities and facilitating careers.
Q. Do you do any community volunteering?
A. I work with faith-based programs in the community and help to establish programs and support programs where others can volunteer, such as the Special Olympics.
Q. Why do you think volunteering is important?
A. Community members can give back to their community, and we get to understand the needs of all fellow community members. Volunteering and caring for the needs of others is something easy to do and is something we can do to enrich our lives and make life even more rewarding.
Q. How has what you are doing benefited or enhanced your life?
A. I had no experience with people with disabilities when I first started my career, nor did I ever envision working as a teacher. Yet, working with Dr. Koch and other important mentors in my life has changed my perspective on almost everything. There are so many windows of opportunity to help others each day. In helping others, we are rewarded. Helping a student learn to feed themselves can be as important to that student as getting an "A" in a college class is for others.
Q. What is the best part of what you do?
A. Facilitating programs for students and then watching the students and families benefit from our efforts. I love working with the students and families and with my colleagues each day.
Q. How about the most challenging?
A. Fitting deadline requirements for grants into my already busy daily schedule.
Age: 60
Words of advice: "Make sure you are interested in the field by job-shadowing and volunteering in programs. Expand on the unique talents and interests you have."
Would like to meet: Abraham Lincoln for his leadership and Barack Obama for helping us to remember the needs of others, not just our own, and renewing the call to each of us to serve our community and country.
Family: wife, Kathy, a member of the teacher education faculty at Cal State Fullerton; a daughter who has been working with foster programs for children with AIDS in South Africa for almost two years; and a son who is a physics major in the teacher credential program at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
Hobbies/spare time: spending time outdoors, hiking, cross-country skiing, swimming
Education: Chaffey Community College; UC Santa Cruz, BA; USC, master's in special education
Dream: to enhance transition services for all students in CUSD and help disseminate what has been learned about transition and career preparation to other school districts

Mostly very good but not as luxurious as 7 years ago: Seven Seas Navigator Cruise Review by EatLobster
Overall Member Rating
Mostly very good but not as luxurious as 7 years ago
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seward
Love that everything is paid for so you're not signing checks all the time. The small size of the ship made getting around without elevators easy. Self service laundry was great as we had been on a land trip for 7 days so didn't have to bring lots of extras. Staff generally very helpful but not as "over the top" as our 2007 cruise. Food quality was very good but there were a few not so good food events. The included wines are clearly a level below 2007. We requested one wine at Sette Mari, and it didn't come until we were through our dinner and had to ask twice. Then they brought us the wrong wine, a chianti we can get for $3.99 in New Hampshire. I do expect at least $10 wines on a luxury line. When we finally found a wine we liked, Edna Valley Chardonnay, they we're put of it.
The lamb chops were tough in both Prime and Sette Mari. The roast leg of lamb was fabulous so something's up with the lamb vendor! More
At la veranda for breakfast, we didn't realize you could request pancakes, French toast and eggs Benedict from your waiter, so we just ate the buffet and omelet stations eggs. The waitstaff should tell customers this.
Compass rose had a great sit down breakfast but it is slower. When you have an exclusion, la veranda is great. There is also a coffee bar where they make cappuccino, etc. and it was excellent with a friendly barista.
The room is very roomy. The tub is unnecessary for us but some people like it. It does provide a place to hang laundry if you hand wash underwear. Mattress needs replacing but I think that will happen at dry dock. My husband (220 pounds) kept sinking. I did fine but we had to switch sides of bed. Balcony was adequate but we found we rarely used it. We were up on deck. This is one itinerary where an ocean view would have been fine.
Entertainment was much better than we expected on the small ship.
Jamie and his wife we're excellent hosts as cruise directors.
Skip the captains meet and greet and the party for past time cruisers had nothing special in way of food or drink so unless you want to meet other past cruisers, skip it. They should have at least had a raffle for another dinner at prime 7 or a tshirt!
Weather in alaska is very iffy so be prepared. The trip to Hubbard glacier was spectacular as we had a clear day. The trip out of Seward not so good as it was cloudy and rainy. Poured in Ketchikan. White river railroad in Skagway was still fun even with clouds and Rain but my guess is it's great on a nice day. The sea otter tour is excellent as is the boat trip into tracy arm - pay extra, it's worth it. If you don't do a land visit, definitely pay for a flight and land on a glacier.
While the food was good, it did get boring after a week. They should change the menu a little more.
I wouldn't want a cruise longer than 7 days without more food options.
All in all, a good cruise but maybe not worth the premium price . I might do Celebrity in a suite and pay for the specialty restaurants and the wine I want and still end up several thousands ahead of the game. Less

If any one group is deserving of the title of most underrated boy band in Korea, Code V is definitely a front-runner for the honors. Having debuted in 2007 under the name BLESS, it goes without saying that it's been more than a slow-paced musical career for this quintet of vocalists. Last year, the five members - Taemin (leader at the time), Sang Woo, Nallo, Sol, and Jae Won - made a return to the K-pop scene under the new stage name Code V. Surprisingly, the boys managed to gain some attention with their single, "Addiction", but before anything took off, Code V was witness to the departure of their very own leader, Taemin, who left four members behind and an empty slot for the filling. Now, Code V is back with their latest album, "Honestly", and a new member to boot. Can they gain the momentum they need to impress the sea of new Korean pop enthusiasts? Let's find out. === Track List: 01. Tell You Honestly 02. Go! 03. Summer Love 04. Miracle 05. Addiction 06. I'm More Sad 07. Now Go And See 08. Don't Apologize 09. Addiction (Remix) 10. Tell You Honestly (Inst.) 11. Go! (Inst.) === If Code V should be recognized for anything, it's their vocal competency and chemistry as a boy band. These guys understand harmony, both figuratively speaking and in the technical context. Code V have been singing together for years (with the exception of new member Rui), but because they're not 'idols' per se, they haven't schlepped across the media fronts as frequently, pimping themselves out on reality shows, variety programs, commercials, pseudo-acting gigs, and what have you. Instead, Code V have focused on blending their singing in whatever way possible to make themselves sound great first and foremost. Code V do what musicians ought to have as their top priority, and that's sell their voices. There hasn't been enough face time or photographic references for listeners to match Code V's voices to their corresponding faces, and in a time when looks are as equally (or more) important than talent, sitting through "Honestly" will drag far more than it actually does because most of us are simply not accustomed to just listening without the visual memories of our favorite boy bands sprouting in our minds simultaneously. To top things off, Code V are dead set on a very timeless R&B style circa mid 90s to early 2000s. A lot of this album reflects the classic R&B elements, with the occasional departure to a more familiar K-pop sound.
"Honestly" opens with the lead single, "Tell You Honestly", which is the perfect example of the classic K-pop throwback to the old school way of singing R&B music that Code V habitually do throughout this album. "Tell You Honestly" is a calm ballad that features every detail of R&B to a T; from the strings, to the hard hits of a real kick drum, and even a little flair here and there of an electric guitar. What makes this song, though, is of course Code V's singing. Most Korean pop groups lack a certain fluidity from one voice to the other during these kinds of ballads. Here, because Code V have gone the traditional route of forming an ensemble, in that they all have somewhat similar voices rather than a thousand very different ones, they have mastered the ease of blending with each other to make almost seamless transitions between phrases. In other words, they sound like one unified voice throughout this entire song. As I've mentioned earlier, Code V know what harmonies are, know how to sing them, and thus you'll find them all over the place. For those who tire of the one-note vocals in mainstream K-pop, at least appreciate that you've stumbled upon a group of male vocalists who can deliver them beautifully. Following the lead single is "Go!", which opens with Jae Won talking in that British accent of his. "Go!" picks things up a bit into a solid mid-tempo track that's much more cheerful than the lead single. Code V are almost always aiming for that swooping emotional connection to their audience through powerful ballads, but it's nice to hear them step into the light and into faster beats-per-minute once in a while. This song's alright, but the highlight has to be at the middle eight, where the instrumental dwindles down to a sole piano line and raw singing. I do have to raise an eyebrow at the random auto-tune at the end. I'm not sure what it's doing there (Go!). --- "Summer Love" continues with the same vibes as "Go!", and I personally prefer this over the previous one because there's a little more variety in the transitions. It also features a powerful climax that suits the build up from the rest of the song. You'll hear Sang Woo and Nallo belting the highs here, as they usually take the lead throughout Code V's music. The old-school synths in this track give it a very relaxing effect, which follows right in line with Code V's easy-going style (Summer Love). --- Then we have the ballad "Miracle". If Code V wanted to, they could easily call themselves a ballad group, kind of like 2AM, because slow-tempo songs are what they do best. They become untouchable when they're singing ballads, and while K-pop asks for variety and being able to do triple axles on stage, Code V aren't quite cut out to be top idols in that respect. They just don't have that punch to stand next to K-pop's superstars. However, at this point, Code V can carry on with their musical career knowing their voices pretty much slay any top agency drone, and that they have loyal fans who appreciate them for just singing really, really well. "Miracle" is arguable the highlight ballad of this album. The first few seconds give off the impression that this will be a complete snore-fest, but just by giving it an extra minute, things start flourishing into something rather beautiful. "Miracle" is an inspirational song and everything happening here correlates very well with that theme. Not one chorus is the same as the other, hinting at the idea that Code V may or may not have recorded this song from start to finish without stopping. As the song progresses, the direction of this subtle tune takes an interesting turn at the middle eight. Code V had been singing their hearts out during the choruses, but when it reappears at the end, not only are they doing it again, but this time with a full-out choir behind them. They're pretty much taking K-pop to church, giving "Miracle" that warm and spiritual feeling. And with Code V's soothing vocals, this added element proves that they're one of the very few boy bands that can deliver the exceptional magic required to pull off power ballads. Right on its heels is Code V's 2010 single, "Addiction". This song falls a little more along the expected style of K-pop. Unheard in any of the previous tracks until this one is Code V's token rapper, Jae Won. His line is very minimal here, but rather than dusting him under the rug like most groups do with rappers, Jae Won - wait for it - actually sings as well. His role is more important than just the rapper, as he's also a vital component of Code V when they sing a capella. Yes, these guys go the distance and put their pipes to work sans processing and instruments to showcase that they're in fact all raw talent (as seen here in a 2010 medley, and here during a recent promo interview for "Honestly"). "Addiction" has a very similar vibe to Big Bang's "Haru Haru", except it lacks all of the swag, which is understandable since Code V has none. Although "Addiction" has a swift beat, the vocals and delivery is gentle in comparison - a juxtaposition we hear all the time in pop music. The rest of the album, like with "Addiction", has already been released at one point or another. "I'm More Sad" was released along side "Addiction", and as expected, it's another mellow track. It's easy-going and very lounge-sounding. It's as energetic as things get on this album, but it's a decent track nonetheless (I'm More Sad). --- You will recognize "Now Go And See" if you watched the K-drama "Baker King, Kim Tak Goo", since it appeared on the OST, as well as the last song, "Don't Apologize", which appeared on the K-drama, "Giant". (Now Go And See, Don't Apologize). === The songs on "Honestly" possess a particular layer of sophistication, in that Code V sing each and every one almost flawlessly. Their vocals are some of the strongest to come out of Korea, especially for a boy band, and it wouldn't do them justice comparing their talent to current K-pop idol bands because they clearly surpass them in that department. They understand the fundamentals of singing and their technique is clean and polished, much like the veterans of Korean pop music. But with the highs, also come the lows, as Code V lack a clear presence in K-pop. As hard as they have tried, there's still something missing in them to leave a powerful mark among K-pop audiences. Perhaps they're not pimped out as hard or forced to do silly things to gain the attention that others receive, but even with an album that is sung freakishly well, Code V are still climbing up that steep hill to the top. "Honestly" is too slow of an album to have been released right now, mainly because K-pop is quickly shifting gears for the Summer and everything heard here is almost too calm for the season. If you're a fan of old-school K-pop (and ballads), this album may be your one ticket to the way things used to sound. From the compositions to the harmonies and style, most of what you will find in Code V's latest album will satisfy your fancy. What I think would have been a perfect addition to this collective is one stunning track done in a capella. You just don't hear that enough in K-pop these days. --- Overall Rating: 3.9/5 === What are your thoughts on this album? — Suggestions for a future review?

HARBIN, China, Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Sky One Medical, Inc. ("China Sky One" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: CSKI), a leading fully integrated pharmaceutical company producing over-the-counter drugs in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2011.
Third Quarter 2011 Financial Highlights
"Our third quarter revenue declined 26.6% compared to the third quarter last year due to an increasingly challenging market environment and the appropriate restructuring of our products portfolio," said Mr. Yan-Qing Liu, Chairman and CEO of China One Medical, Inc.
"We remain confident in the fundamentals of our business and believe that we continue to be well poised to deploy our financial resources so as to emerge in the marketplace as highly viable and successful company," Chairman and CEO Liu continued. "To accomplish this goal, the Company has taken several strategic steps to ensure its competitive edge. We have acquired 74,000 acres of forest land in the Xiao Xing'an Mountain region and started trial planting of herbs as a strategic step to secure sourcing, and have reached several milestones in the construction of our new facilities on our newly acquired land in the High-Tech Development Zone of Song Bei District in Harbin, China which will strongly enhance our R&D, production, logistic and general management capabilities. We believe that these decisive actions will serve as the cornerstone of the Company in years to come and will enable our long-term sustainability and growth."
Third Quarter 2011 Results
In the third quarter of 2011, China Sky One's total revenues decreased 26.6% to $26.6 million from $36.2 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in sales of certain product categories due to the termination of production and sales of 32 products in the second and third quarters of 2011. In the second quarter of 2011, Management decided to temporarily discontinue the production and sales of 16 products which were less competitive and generated lower relative sales volume. In the third quarter of 2011, Management decided to discontinue the production and sales of an additional 16 products because of new regulations by China's SFDA.
By product category, sales from Ointments, Patches, Sprays, Suppositories and Drops contributed to the Company's overall year-over-year revenue decline, offset somewhat by top-line growth in Wash Fluids and Diagnostic Kits.
In terms of the Company's top-selling products, revenue generated from its Metronidazole and Chlorhexidine Wash Fluids in the third quarter of 2011 increased 78.2% year-over-year to $1.6 million as a result of our successful market promotion. Revenue generated from the Company's Cardiac Arrest Early Examination Kits and Kidney Disease Testing Kit in the third quarter of 2011 was $1.9 million, four times that of the year-ago quarter.
However, revenue generated from the Company's Hemorrhoids Ointment and Compound Camphor Cream in the third quarter of 2011 decreased 57.6% year-over-year to $3.8 million. The sales decrease of the Company's Hemorrhoids Ointment was due to the SFDA's enforcement of new regulations as concerns the advertising of certain medicinal products which negatively impacted sales to end users. The sales decrease of the Company's Compound Camphor Cream was primarily due to market competition. Revenue generated from the Company's Slim Patch in the third quarter of 2011 decreased 66.2% year-over-year to $1.3 million primarily because of more aggressive market competition. Revenue generated from our Naphazoline Hydrochloride Eye Drop in the third quarter of decreased 62.9% year-over-year to $0.9 million also due to tougher market competition.
Gross profit declined 38.1% to $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2011. Gross margin in the quarter was 61.5%, as compared to 72.9% in the third quarter of 2010, mainly due to increases in the price of certain raw materials used to produce the Company's products, and lower sales prices of certain products due to the competitive sales market. Another contributing factor in this decline was the Company's sales and marketing strategy to promote certain of its products which have less market competition by coordinating with distributors who have extensive market channels. These distributors generally seek lower sales prices which had a negative impact on the Company's overall gross product margins.
Operating expenses decreased 11.1% year-over-year to $15.1 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease was principally due to $1.9 million in lower selling expenses and $0.8 million in lower R&D expenses, which were somewhat offset by $0.6 million in higher depreciation and amortization expenses and $0.2 million in higher general and administrative expenses.
Third quarter 2011 operating income was $1.3 million, or 4.8% of revenue, as compared to an operating income of $9.5 million, or 26.1% of revenue, in the same period a year ago.
Provision for income taxes was $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $2.7 million in the same period last year.
GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $0.5 million, as compared to $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding the non-cash gain related to the change in fair value of derivative warrant liability, the Company's non-GAAP adjusted net income was $0.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, as compared to $6.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Nine Month Operating Highlights
Total revenues for nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 12.5% year-over-year to $92.6 million. The decrease was primarily due to the termination of two major customer relationships (one domestic distributor and one overseas agent) in the third quarter of 2010. Revenues generated from these two customers in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $12.9 million or 12.1% of the Company's revenues for that period. Gross margin was about 65.4% compared to 73.3% for the first nine months of 2010. Total R&D expenses were approximately $14.8 million (or 16.0% of sales) for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to $15.3 million (or 14.4% of sales) for the comparable period of 2010. Net income for the first nine months of 2011 was $12.8 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $33.4 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, in the same period of 2010.
Financial Condition
As of September 30, 2011, China Sky One had $21.3 million in cash and equivalents, with a current ratio of 6.3. The Company had working capital of approximately $41.6 million. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2011, was $183.7 million, 12.0% higher than the $164.0 million recorded as of December 31, 2010.
Accounts receivable turnover days increased to 58.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 55.7 in the same period of 2010. Inventory turnover days increased to 50.9 for the first nine months of 2011 from 35.7 in the year ago period. The increase of inventory turnover days was due to higher inventory levels since the beginning of 2011 in order to satisfy the Company's future production needs, as well as to limit the effects of possible future price increase of raw materials.
The Company generated $12.2 million in net cash flow from operating activities in the first nine months of 2011, compared to $25.6 million in the comparable year ago period. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the decline in net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the year-ago period.
Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $7.8 million in the same period of 2010. Major cash flows in investing activities primarily related to the Company's expenditures of approximately $22.7 million as related to its new facilities located in the High-Tech Development Zone of Song Bei District in Harbin, China.
Cash flows provided from financing activities were zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to approximately $94,000 for the same period in 2010.
Management believes that capital is sufficient to take advantage of new investment opportunities and to meet future liquidity and capital needs.
Recent Developments
In the third quarter of 2011, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Harbin Tian Di Ren Medical Science and Technology Company (TDR) acquired the 50-year land use rights covering approximately 85,000 square meters of land located in the High-Tech Development Zone of Song Bei District in Harbin, China, for total consideration of approximately $7.5 million. The Company intends to build an R&D center, an injection manufacturing facility, a logistics center, and an office building on the land during the first phase of development, which the Company currently expects to complete by mid-2012 at an estimated cost of completion of approximately $45 million to $49 million. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has invested approximately $22.8 million in the construction project.

Use of Non GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company has provided non-GAAP adjusted financial information, which are adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding the impact of these items. The Company's management believes that this adjusted measure provides investors with a better understanding of how the results relate to the Company's historical performance. A reconciliation of adjustment to GAAP results appears in the tables accompanying this press release. This additional adjusted information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financials. The adjusted financial information that the Company provides also may differ from the adjusted information provided by other companies.

Soap opera storylines are never usually dull and often far-fetched, but a well known AccountingWEB member has helped EastEnders ensure the realism of a current plot involving company fraud.
In spite of their sometimes outlandish narratives, TV producers put a lot of effort on ensuring they are plausible.
And this is where AccountingWEB member David Winch comes into the picture.
Winch, the leader of our popular money laundering and crime discussion group, has worked behind the scenes with the BBC before, for example helping Fiona Bruce with her 'Real Story' investigative documentary on the Farepak collapse.
But his latest project came from out of the blue.
"I got a call from a lady who works at the BBC. She wanted me to tell her how to do a fraud," he said. He was a bit "nervous" at first until she revealed it was for an 'EastEnders' storyline.
The fraud, which Winch describes as a "theft", centres around how character Ian Beale could swindle his daughter Lucy out of the ownership of the family business, which he once owned.
As the result of a previous plot line, Beale had to disappear and his daughter took the business on. The writers wanted to find a way for him to get it back - by devious means, if necessary.
"I said there was [a way to commit a fraud], particularly if the business and property were held by a company," Winch said...

The market does not like 10-year yields north of 2.5%, yet. Stocks have been bid up to a 10% valuation premium relative to their historical norm (trailing price-to-earnings ratios) on expectations of low interest rates spurring demand across many sectors (for example, autos) for a long while.
So whether there is a late-afternoon leak to someone who has direct access to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is almost irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Rates have begun to creep as we head into the Fed meeting for a reason, and this has caused me to adopt a cautious approach to new long recommendations. The reason is straightforward: The market doesn't really care about the policy statement this week. It's fully aware that the eventual release of the minutes will show either one or two items: 1.) A further divide in the Fed from the June meeting, just as a new chairman is poised to be announced, a divide that would counter the hot air spewed by those inside the Fed in order to paper over Bernanke's press conference gaffes. 2.) A clear signal that a reduction of monthly bond buys -- a tapering of quantitative easing -- will commence in September, not "later in the year," as the Fed already communicated.
The Fed Day Watch List
- The highly educated folks at the Fed will get to see the July employment report before we mere mortals do. So any teensy upgrade (which would come after a more subdued outlook for growth on the last go-round) in the assessment of the economy will imply -- you guessed it -- tapering! Markets will get sucked into a vortex (look how emerging-market stocks are trading into Fed day ... it's not all due to China slowdown worries).
- Remember, the Fed has noted that it sees "diminished downside risks" to growth. This was a statement change back in June, and if it's reiterated or removed completely, stocks will head lower on fear of tapering.
Sure sounds akin to an upcoming lose/lose scenario, right? Yup, and this brings me to this longer-term thought: the true factor behind a September selloff, other than the "because it has to happen" rationale currently being discussed.
Quite frankly, a good deal of the commentary from homebuilders last week was disturbing. Orders are slowing because of higher rates. Revenue is moderating on a sequential basis. So I am very much trying to time when to go completely bearish on housing recovery names such as Home Depot (HD), and Lowe's (LOW). My chat with Whirlpool (WHR) provided an initial clue.
Apparently, it takes nine months before any changes in housing, good or bad, appear in the financials of Whirlpool. If that general rule of thumb holds true, then the latter half of the first quarter of fiscal 2014 could look messy for these housing-recovery companies.
Using another general rule of thumb, that a stock moves in advance of a company's news six months forward, we could be looking at housing names retreating in around October. (Around September, you theoretically start to get stock-price weakness in the Dow Transports, which are those companies responsible for transporting the goods to construction sites and home retail stores.)
Not helping matters for the markets in September will be a Fed meeting on Sept. 17-18 and a press conference with Chairman Bernanke. If there is no announcement on succession before, we could receive a bit more clarity from Bernanke on his intentions, after his recent testimony in which he graciously accepted "thank you" comments for his service.

|BumbleRide was started by a couple in San Diego that wanted to offer the sleek stylings of the European designer strollers for half the price. BumbleRide strollers come in vibrant, designer colors and are very attractive accessories for the modern parent.The Queen B, a classic pram reinvented, was one of Bumbleride's original premier strollers when the company launched in 2004. The Queen B 2010 has some minor improvements from the 2009 model. Bumbleride changed the handlebar adjusters (making them more ergonomic), changed the peek-a-boo window and made the bassinet a standard accessory with the stroller. First of all, the Queen B is stunning to look at! The beautiful design resembles the classic pram but Bumbleride has added some parent friendly features that make it a cross between a pram and a sport stroller. The Queen B is definitely a lifestyle stroller that is better for strolling than maneuvering crowded places and tight corners. But unlike the traditional prams with fixed wheels and no way of folding, the Queen B has front pivot wheels and a collapsible frame.
|The Queen B seat is amazing and loaded with features! It has a great reversible seat that allows you to change the seat direction easily so that your child can face you or out at the world. The seat is large and comfortable complete with a padded 5-point harness and three recline positions, including completely flat suitable for a newborn. The one-handed recline is very easy to do with a bar on the back of the seat. There is a one push harness buckle release that makes taking the child out faster than undoing multiple clips. Yes, it is easy for mom but way to easy for our naughty little toddlers to do so that they can escape. Think how quickly a two-year-old can master a one touch button? The seat accommodates up to 45 lbs. We like that the seat sets up higher than traditional strollers similar to traditional prams. There is also an adjustable footrest for the comfort of your child.
The Queen B has a great adjustable handle that is easy to operate with two push buttons on the sides, allowing it to be set in one of 11 positions. The handlebar adjusters were moved to the inside of the handlebar (so you now do it with your thumbs) to make it more ergonomic for 2010. The handle is great for preventing the tallest moms and dads from kicking the frame of the stroller with a long stride.
Like all Bumbleride strollers, the canopy doesn't disappoint! The Queen B canopy is absolutely fabulous! It's a full coverage canopy complete with peek-a-boo window that extends all the way down to the bumper bar to keep your baby protected from the sun and elements. Our toddler testers loved to pull the canopy all the way down as if they were pretending to hide from the paparazzi. Bumbleride also changed the peek-a-boo window for 2010 and got rid of the plastic and replaced it with a UV mesh that allows air to circulate through a bit. The storage basket underneath is very large, easy to access and easily accommodates a large diaper bag plus other baby essentials. Other storage includes a zipper pocket on the back of the canopy and a small cup holder on the side of the handlebar. The overall stroller fabric is well-made, tightly woven polyester that is easily removable for washing.
The Queen B sports large 12-inch air tires and a suspension system offering a wonderful, smooth ride for baby. Like we said, this lifestyle stroller is great for strolling but not great for tight spaces and sharp turns. The Queen B will draw much attention strolling through the city but a pram isn't meant for every mom. The front wheels are pivot wheels (not swivel) that allow the Queen B to steer better than other prams but won't give you the maneuverability of a sport stroller. We found that the front pivot wheels take some getting used to because the stroller doesn't turn on a dime and backing the stroller up can be tricky. Most of the time you will have to pick up the front wheels to make tight turns but this is very standard of a traditional pram. There is also a one-touch brake bar that is easy to engage and securely locks the stroller in place.
A great feature of the Queen B that you will not find on other "prams" is that it folds for travel. It has a two handed folding mechanism that is easy to do. All you have to do is lift up on the folding latches on each side of the handlebar to unlock the frame and then push the handlebar forward to collapse it. There is no locking mechanism to lock the stroller closed but we think because of the way you pick up the Queen B, you really wouldn't need one. Also, since the Queen B is designed as a pram, the folded stroller is not very compact.
Weighing in at a heavy 31 lbs, the Queen B will take some muscle to get in and out of your trunk. If the weight bothers you, removing the seat from the chassis makes the stroller more manageable when taking in and out of the trunk. Since the folded dimensions are quite large, this pram will not fit in many small cars, so make sure you check the dimensions if you are driving around in a compact.
Unfolding the stroller is very easy to do. All you have to do is lift up on the handlebar until he stroller opens and locks into place.
Another great feature of the Queen B is that it accepts a wide range of different brand infant car seats with no additional adapter needed to make it a travel system. (We hate having to buy important accessories separately.) Compatible infant car seats include: Graco Snugride, Graco Snugride 32, Graco Safeseat, Chicco Keyfit, Chicco Keyfit 30 & Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP.
A big change for 2010 is that the Queen B bassinet now comes standard with the stroller. The bassinet is not only beautiful but roomy and large suitable from newborn up to 20 lbs. The bassinet lets you transform your Queen B into a rolling bed for your infant. The bassinet can be used alone or installed on the Queen B. (Note: the bassinet only works with the Queen B and not other Bumbleride strollers) The bassinet has a removable mattress with washable mattress liner and can be installed forward or rear facing.
One of our favorite optional accessories available only for the Bumbleride Queen B is the toddler seat. Have a second baby on the way? No problem! Bumbleride also offers a toddler seat that attaches to the Queen B to make it a double. The seat is similar to a shopping cart seat in which the child sits upright with no recline option. The seat attaches quickly to the front of the Queen B and accommodates up to 35 lbs.
Like all Bumbleride strollers, the Queen B is stocked with style. It is available in two colors: Ruby (Red) and Lava (Black).
Overall, the BumbleRide Queen B is a great alternative to the traditional pram. If you are looking for a sport stroller for your busy lifestyle, Bumbleride also offers their great all-terrain Indie & standard stroller Flyer. But if you are looking for a beautiful, head-turning pram that is friendly for everyday use, then the Queen B is a great option to consider. With its stunning appearance, great large wheels with suspension, adjustable handlebar, roomy seat and excellent optional accessories, the Queen B is a winner in our book when it comes to prams!

INSURANCE companies have been warned not to scrimp on policyholders as the state clears bush blocks damaged by fire.
The Age has learned that the State Government's announcement that it would manage the clean-up of all areas damaged in this month's bushfires has prompted some insurers to delay cleaning sites where clean-up is covered by insurance.
Premier John Brumby warned that such behaviour would not be tolerated.
"I urge all insurance companies to honour their obligations to their customers without delay," he said. "We have been assured by the Insurance Council of Australia that this initiative will not reduce insurance payouts to policyholders."
Some neighbourhoods have placed hazard warnings on properties demanding clean-up take place as soon as possible, prompting those who are insured for clean-up to demand their insurers carry out the service to avoid waiting.
About 10 per cent of insured properties are also insured for the clean-up.
One property owner with such a policy said the insurance company had baulked when asked to clear the block, and said the State Government's promise to clear all damaged properties "superseded" the policy.
"I said, 'I don't want to wait'," the property owner said. "It seemed as if they did it only because I kicked up about it."
A spokesman for the Insurance Council of Australia said insurers would meet their obligations.
However, he said in many cases where clean-up was not covered, it would be better for property owners to wait for the Government to clear the site rather than pay for it through insurance. In such cases, he said, the cost of the clean-up would count against the cost of rebuilding.
A spokeswoman said yesterday that the Government would clean up all properties regardless of whether they were insured, but that policyholders were within their rights to have the service provided by insurers if they chose.
Insured losses from the fires are forecast to top $1 billion, but it is widely expected that a large percentage of fire-affected homes were not insured at all.

Bob Starkey has never had a hard time finding a job, but Geno Auriemma wanted to make sure he knew he had his help if he needed it.
It was in the swirling emotional moments after LSU beat Connecticut in the 2007 Fresno Regional to advance to the Women's Final Four when Auriemma sought out Starkey.
Starkey was serving as LSU's interim head coach after the shocking and sudden resignation of Pokey Chatman on the eve of that year's NCAA tournament. If he needed help finding a job, Auriemma told him, he would assist Starkey any way he could.
As it turned out, Starkey spent four more seasons at LSU under Van Chancellor. He then worked a year at Central Florida and Monday night returns to the school he called home for 25 years as an assistant with Texas A&M for the first Southeastern Conference game between the programs at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Emotional by nature, Starkey knows to expect a surge of feelings before the 8 p.m. tipoff between the Lady Tigers (13-8, 4-4) and No. 16 Aggies (17-5, 7-1) on ESPN2.
"I haven't really had any time to contemplate returning to LSU," Starkey said last week, "though I'm sure I'll have a wide range of emotions when we walk into the PMAC. The most important thing I took away from 25 years at LSU were the relationships with the players I coached and the people I worked with — relationships I've continued to maintain and treasure."
Starkey came to LSU under longtime men's coach Dale Brown, then moved over in 1999 to work with the women under the late Sue Gunter. In 2010-11, his final season at LSU, he coached five current Lady Tigers: SEC scoring and blocks leader Theresa Plaisance, Adrienne Webb, Jeanne Kenney, Bianca Lutley and Shanece McKinney.
"Watching the Lady Tigers on film, I have been extremely impressed with the talent — as well as pleased to see some of the players I left behind mature into a very skilled offensive team," Starkey said. "Playing four guards makes them difficult to defend."
LSU has settled into a one-post, four-guard lineup with Plaisance (18.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.8 blocks per game) at forward and Webb (14.0 ppg), Lutley (10.2 ppg), Kenney (5.0 ppg, 4.6 assists) and freshman Danielle Ballard (12.8 ppg) at guard.
The game promises an intriguing matchup down low between the 6-foot-5 Plaisance and 6-4 Aggies center Kelsey Bone (17.1 points, 9.7 rebounds per game).
"She's one of the best players in the country," Plaisance said. "She has a great inside game. When her game isn't there, she knows how to dish the ball out."
LSU comes in off its first SEC road win of the season, a 59-55 victory Thursday at Auburn. A&M has won five straight, capped by a 60-52 win at home Thursday over Vanderbilt, and can tie Tennessee for first place in the SEC with a victory.
"We are going to see some great play from both teams," LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said. "Each team understands that every win in the SEC is an important win."
Monday's game marks the start of a three-game homestand for the Lady Tigers, all against ranked teams. LSU hosts No. 9 Tennessee on Thursday and No. 13 Georgia on Sunday.
This has been designated as the Gold Game by LSU, with fans encouraged to wear the color and the first 2,000 fans receiving gold LSU T-shirts.
