Garth Brooks Vs Hospital
January 28, 2012 by staff
Garth Brooks Vs Hospital, Anyone who's ever heard a country song knows not to mess with a man's mama—or a man's money. Which makes it that much worse (ample warning and all) that an Oklahoma hospital allegedly misused the $500,000 Garth Brooks donated in honor of his late mother back in 2005.
Naturally, the 49-year-old country superstar appeared in court today for proceedings surrounding his inevitable lawsuit filed against the facility for a round of he-said, they-said.
The institution at the receiving end of Brooks' lawsuit is the Integris Canadian Valley Regional Hospital in Yukon, Okla. The musician claims the donation to his hometown hospital was intended to commemorate his mother, Colleen Brooks, who passed away in 1999. According to Brooks, he was told that either a building or wing built with his donation would be named in his mom's honor.
Unfortunately, that didn't end up being the case and now Brooks is asking for his money back.
As for the hospital, its officials maintain the money as an "unconditional" gift, and a spokesperson confirmed that the donation remained unused and unspent in an IRS-approved account. They claim that naming agreements were not only never agreed to naming rights of any part of the facility in exchange for the donation, but that the money itself "was sent anonymously."

Stanwood Fred Elkus Enters Insanity Plea in Fatal Shooting of Dr. Ronald Gilbert
Stanwood Fred Elkus entered pleas of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity.
Courtesy of the Orange County Sheriff's Department
If you thought the 76-year-old barber who fatally shot a Newport Beach urologist over prostate surgery complications performed years earlier by another doctor must be crazy, get in line ... behind the defendant.
Stanwood Fred Elkus has entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity in the January 2013 murder of popular physician and married father of two boys Dr. Ronald Gilbert.
Stanwood Fred Elkus, Alleged Murderer of Dr. Ronald Gilbert, Surrenders Assets to Family
A check of Orange County Superior Court records shows Elkus entered both a standard not guilty plea and the insanity plea, which defense attorney Colleen O'Hara no doubt believes will be bolstered by a PET scan of her client's head last year that found "neurological and psychological disabilities," at least according to documents the lawyer filed.

A trial date has not yet been set, but O'Hara estimates it will likely take a month or two with most of the focus being on mental health issues. If found not guilty by reason of insanity by a jury, Elkus could still spend the rest of his life in a state mental hospital. A guilty verdict without the insanity plea could send him to a state prison for the same term.
Deputy District Attorney Matt Murphy, the veteran Orange County homicide prosecutor who drew the case, recently said he'll push to show the Lake Elsinore resident was sane at the time of the slaying.
"We are very confident in our evidence on that point," Murphy told the Orange County Register.
It was a typical Monday afternoon on Jan. 28, 2013, when "Dr. Ron," as Gilbert's staff, friends and patients knew him, lightly rapped on the examination-room door and entered to see a new patient in his Orange Coast Urology office in Newport Beach. But the elderly man allegedly fired eight rounds into the chest of Gilbert, who was likely dead before he hit the floor.
Elkus dropped the gun after shooting Gilbert and calmly waited until police arrived to arrest him without incident.
He had apparently come to settle what he believed to be a botched prostate operation he underwent at a Veterans Administration hospital decades earlier. While Gilbert had worked at that VA facility, there was no record the Huntington Beach resident performed the surgery. It's believed another urologist with a similar name treated Elkus, who had suffered prostate problems for years.

Both NABs Genesee brewery and The Lion (two popular craft contractor breweries) mention that they have the ability to flash pasteurize on the "contract brewing" pages, so its possible some of the craft kegs coming out of those facilities are flash pasteurized.
The buzzards bay brewery have one and it screwed up their beers imo - would make the bottles seem all grassy and vegetal right out of the gate (while their kegged beers were good). Dont know if Just Beer is still using it, Blatant and Pretty Things for sure is not.

I have been using a flash Pasteurizer for years and I havent noticed any immediate changes in the beers flavor, I run the thing between 28 and 40 Pu. I will say the beer if mishandled downstream can get that aged taste very quick. yes the beers dont age well like an unpasteurized one but I am usually using it on lower alc beers... anything over 6 and I am not using it...Its just a measure of QA which many brewers especially European choose to use to ensure the beer is not fermenting / wild yeasts / bacterias are not carried over to the packaged beers... there is always a risk from the point of pasteurization down stream... so its not really just a crutch...

Sierra still does not as far as I know... It will be interesting to see who moves this route in the future. It seems as though it can be done successfully as well as unsuccessfully. I have 0 experience with it though... I have no idea what issues a brewer has to deal with when doing this to their beer.

Norway: The Little Known Capital of Skiing
Posted on August 21, 2013 by Guest Post
Norway is the capital of skiing! I know what everyone is thinking, "What Norway, Skiing?" Yes skiing is rife in Norway and Scandinavia in general. It is their number one sport. They love it, in all its forms. They just don't like the fancy alpine downhill with its stylish carving. They also adore the slower paced more methodical form of cross country. A form of skiing, that everywhere else is seen as dull and cowardly. Norway loves skiing, but it doesn't get the credit it deserves. So here it is; Norway is the capital of skiing.
The claim that Norway is the capital of skiing will probably have people jumping to advocate; why their favourite resorts should be the capital. But just wait until I've listed the five reasons why. Then feel free to disagree, by all means.
5 reasons why Norway is the Capital of Skiing
- Norway invented skiing- Okay, so this hasn't been categorically proven, but it is the most likely country. We know, for certain, that skiing originated in Scandinavia and Norway has the strongest claim of all countries. Even if Norway didn't invent skiing, it has contributed more to its development than any other. The Telemark turn is thought to be the birth of modern skiing, and it was invented in Norway. So it makes sense it should be the capital. The birthplace and where it was honed is an overwhelming argument. Isn't it?
- It is purely about the skiing- Wouldn't it be terrible if an overdeveloped resort was the capital of skiing? Norway, for all its faults is purely about skiing. With not too many other distractions. The same can't be said about every other resort where the sideshow takes centre stage. You came to ski and that is what you should do most.
- The long season- The capital of skiing should be snow sure. Norway is certainly that. With a season that generally goes from the end November, until April. That is the best part of 5 months, where there is powder a plenty. Imagine a resort claiming to be the capital but there was only a short window where you could ski it.
- Empty Slopes- Capital cities don't necessarily have to be the most populated. Scotland's biggest city is Glasgow but Edinburgh is its capital. Norway isn't the most popular resort but that is one of its major benefits. No lift queues and a whole heap of pow pow at your disposal. The capital of skiing should be a place where you can cherish your line; you can't cherish your line, if there are too many people that you can't see it.
- Norwegian's live skiing- There isn't a country where skiing is as closely linked to their cultural identity, than Norway. Utter a bad word about skiing and you will soon see their ice cool demeanour disappear. For them skiing isn't just something you do once a year, it is a way of life. For some, it is their best means of transport.
So there are some of the reasons why I think that Norway is the capital of skiing. I came to this conclusion on my ski holiday to Norway with Crystal ski. Any nation that cherishes all things ski and ski related deserves to be put on a pedestal. For our Nordic cousins, it isn't just a way to make money but a part of their history and future.

Spending Probably Rose in U.S., Home Sales Climbed
Consumer spending probably rose in November as Americans set aside the threat of higher taxes next year while shopping for the holidays, economists said before reports this week.
Household purchases increased 0.4 percent last month after declining 0.2 percent in October, according to the median estimate from 66 economists surveyed by Bloomberg before Dec. 21 figures from the Commerce Department. Other reports may show home sales and demand for long-lasting goods climbed.
"The economy is holding in," said Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics Ltd. in Valhalla, New York. "For the household sector, the housing numbers have been quite good. The labor-market numbers are OK."
A jump in auto sales last month is among the evidence that the world's largest economy is rebounding from the damage caused by superstorm Sandy. Improving property values and falling fuel costs are helping brace consumers against the more than $600 billion in tax increases and government spending cuts that will take effect in January without action from Congress.
"There is a lot of nervousness about the fiscal cliff, so I think how that gets resolved will be important to what happens next," O'Sullivan said.
Retail sales rose 0.3 percent last month after a 0.3 percent decrease in October, the Commerce Department reported last week. Ten of 13 major categories showed gains, led by a 1.4 percent increase at auto dealers, a 2.5 percent jump at electronics outlets and a 0.9 percent pickup at clothing stores.
Auto Sales
Cars and light trucks sold in November at a 15.5 million annual rate, the fastest pace since February 2008 and up from 14.2 million in October when Sandy kept East Coast shoppers away during dealers' busiest time of the month, data from Ward's Automotive Group show.
Limited Brands Inc., the operator of the Victoria's Secret lingerie chain, reported comparable sales rose 5 percent in November, topping projections for a 3.4 percent gain. The Columbus, Ohio-based Limited Brands said Sandy, which swept ashore Oct. 29, reduced its comparable-store sales growth by as much as 2 percentage points.
From July to September, household purchases contributed 1 percentage point to the economic expansion, which proceeded at a 2.7 percent annual rate. The rate of economic growth for last quarter will be revised up to 2.8 percent when the Commerce Department issues updated figures on Dec. 20, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey.
Housing Gains
An improving housing market is supporting the economy. Residential construction has contributed to growth for six consecutive quarters, the best showing since 2005, as builders begin to restore the inventory of new homes.
After three consecutive gains, homebuilding took a breather in November, according to economists surveyed. Housing starts fell to 873,000 annual rate after reaching a four-year high 894,000 rate in October, economists project a Commerce Department report to show Dec. 19. Building permits, a proxy for future construction, probably rose to an 875,000 annual pace.
Homebuilder shares have been benefitting as a result. The Standard & Poor's Supercomposite Homebuilding Index has climbed 17.7 percent so far in the second half of 2012, compared with a 3.8 percent gain in the broader 500 Index.
Healing in the market for new houses is complementing progress in existing properties, which have benefited from mortgage rates near record-lows and rising home values. Sales of previously owned homes probably rose to a 4.9 million pace, a three-year high, economists forecast a report from the National Association of Realtors will show Dec. 20.
Consumer Confidence
Nonetheless, the government spending cuts and tax increases that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke termed the "fiscal cliff" during congressional testimony in February is starting to show up in some measures of consumer confidence.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index decreased in December to a four-month low, a Dec. 21 report is projected to show. Those figures contrast with the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index which has held within a narrow range since jumping to a six-month high in mid October.
Fed policy makers last week for the first time linked the outlook for its main interest rate to unemployment and inflation and said it will expand its asset purchase program in January to spur the economy.
A tightening in fiscal policy is a "major risk factor" that is already harming investment and hiring decisions by causing "uncertainty" or "pessimism," Bernanke said in a press conference following the central bank's announcement. The Fed "doesn't have the tools" to offset that event, he said.
There are also signs that companies, which had curbed capital spending in the second half of the year, are looking past the budget battle. Orders for durable goods, those meant to last at least three years, climbed 0.5 percent in November for a second month, a Commerce Department will show on Dec. 21, according to the Bloomberg survey median.

The Bula is designed small and compact to get the most out of fast, steep, barreling shore break waves where Lift and buoyancy is not a critical component of a fun ride as the speed of the wave creates the lift out of the water. The Bula's size also allows the rider to quickly exit out the back of the wave at high speed, a critical component of riding dangerous shore break.

LSU plans to resurface two of its four outdoor football practice fields and install a drainage and irrigation system underneath both.
The $485,000 project is expected to be approved by the Louisiana Board of Regents at its next meeting Monday. A timeline and start date for the project has not been determined, said Eddie Nunez, LSU's senior associate athletic director.
LSU begins spring practice on March 7. The spring game is set for April 18. Nunez said the project will "probably" begin after spring practice, giving the fields three full summer months to grow in preparation for fall camp.
Nunez calls the project "typical maintenance" on fields that take a near year-around beating from fall practice, individual workouts and spring drills. Field No. 2 will receive new sod, while field No. 3 will get new grass.
The school will install a drainage and irrigation system under each surface.
"The existing fields have poor drainage which significantly limits their usage for football practice," according to the Louisiana Board of Regents agenda. "After rain events, the fields are not playable for multiple days at a time."
LSU has five total practice fields, including the indoor field. Two – the indoor field and one outdoor field – are artificial turf. The school has discussed installing artificial turf on at least one other outdoor field, but coach Les Miles prefers to have three outdoor real grass fields.
"He likes to have a third because he rotates his practices on those three fields," Nunez said.

The people who studied this body have done a lot. They have looked at bones. They have completed an autopsy and everything. They are starting to lose time because they have found the start of deterioration in his bones and joints.
Ötzi's History
He lived around 3,300 B.C. and he died when he was about 45 years old which was old back in the day. He was found in the Alps. between the border of Austria and Italy. He was known for being the worlds longest natural preserved man of the copper age.They found an arrow shaft wound in his shoulder. Also they found cuts on his wrist. They could not heal before his death. They believe now that he died by a blow to the head. Also they thought maybe from blood loss, hunger, or even the cold. A shock is that "the ice man" has 19 living relatives. This man had several health issues such as parasitic worms. In turn he had Lyme disease. Another thing found interesting was that he was inked in other words he had a ton of tattoos on his body.

Perfect in an environment where the ratio of reads is far higher than writes; which is typically the scenario for caching.

Hi, Hello, Howdy!
I, too, have been lurking and looking...Perhaps a bit too intimidated to post, surrounded by all this talent and craft genius! Love the site and love the posts.
I am the content manager over at Craftown, looking to find inspiration and share completed projects. I hope to learn lots from you all! (2nd forum I have ever been on so if I mess up or don't follow protocol just let me know!)
Kind Regards,

It's customary for music-loving individuals to debate which songs, albums, and artists they consider the best, especially when comparing one artist head-to-head with another. Opinions are openly expressed, facts are justifiably revisited. It makes for a great, educational, and often aggressive-but-fun conversation.
SoulTrain.com is going to start one right now!
Artist: Steven Tyler
Debut: 1973
Albums: 15 total, including Aerosmith (1973), Rocks (1986), Get a Grip (1993), Nine Lives (1997), Just Push Play (2001)
Singles: "Dream On," "Sweet Emotion," "Janie's Got a Gun," "Crazy," "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," "Jaded"
#1s (Singles, Albums): 13
Artist: Mick Jagger
Debut: 1964
Albums: 33 total, including Out of Our Heads (1965), She's the Boss (1985), Primitive Cool (1987), Wandering Spirit (1993), Goddess in the Doorway (2001)
Singles: "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Jumping Jack Flash," "Start Me Up," "Just Another Night," "Don't Tear Me Up"
#1s (Singles, Albums): 34
Consider this edition of The Great Debate as the official companion to SoulTrain.com's Top 25 Most Soulful Rock Singers.
The Rolling Stones' energetic co-founder and lead singer Mick Jagger ranks #14 on our list. Part of the British rock invasion of the early 1960s, Jagger and The Stones played a style of rock heavily influenced by blues legend Muddy Waters; he moaned, whined, and wailed with electric charisma, making songs like "Start Me Up" become world renowned stadium anthems. The Stones have been called the world's greatest rock band, so that makes Jagger, to some, the world's greatest rock singer.
Aerosmith's flamboyant lead singer Steven Tyler ranks #4 on our list. Bursting out of Boston's local rock scene in the 1970s, Tyler's remarkable, often stunning range carried the band to the top of the Billboard charts and into sold out stadiums across the globe. In the US, Aerosmith is considered America's greatest rock n roll band thanks to songs like "Walk This Way." This makes Tyler, to some, America's greatest rock singer.
You're now aware where both men rank with us. Where do they rank with you? Both Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler are Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legends with very deep solo and group hits packages with their own signature sounds. But which of their sounds do you like best?

The Department of Aesthetics and Philosophy offers itself as an interdisciplinary space which endeavours to facilitate engagement with issues across various disciplines in the Humanities such as Linguistics, Literature, Cultural Studies, Feminist studies, Media Studies, Translation Studies, India Studies etc from the perspective of theoretical structure and conceptual coherence. The rationale behind this approach consists in the recognition that the most productive way ahead for philosophy lies in a lateral movement playing a catalytic role in the cross-fertilisation of ideas from across cognate and even distant disciplines.
At the level of intellectual culture, the Department makes a conscious effort to promote an intellectual attitude based on the virtues of conceptual rigour, intellectual honesty, discursive openness, clarity of thought and integrity of understanding as the grounding values.
The fundamental outlook of the Department of Aesthetics and Philosophy centres on the conviction that philosophy represents open-endedness of thought as opposed to all forms of theological thinking based on some dogma—either conservative or radical, and the premise that such open-endedness is possible only with an ability and willingness to resist the transient tyranny of passing intellectual fashion.
The department has three members at present.
Prof. Syed Sayeed, who is also currently the Head of the Department, tries to locate his work around the convergence of Analytic and Continental philosophy and areas like the philosophy of social sciences and political thought.
The next senior member, Dr. T. Sreedharan is an assistant professor and his interests cover Classical and Contemporary Indian Philosophy, Existentialism and Comparative Aesthetics.
The third member of the department Mr. SantoshRaut too is an assistant professor and his fields of interest are Buddhist studies, Dalit Studies, Aesthetics and Art History.
As of now, the department only runs a Ph. D programme, though, in addition to it the members of the department offer elective courses to students of MA programmes not only in philosophy but in a range of interdisciplinary areas, taking care to design them in such a way as to make them most relevant to the main thrust of the particular postgraduate programme. Through this effort, the department of Aesthetics and Philosophy tries to do justice to its role in the fundamentally interdisciplinary orientation of this university.

Explores the life and habitat of this extraordinary species. The lively text describes the spectacular migration of about 90 per cent of the world's monarch butterly population to the high mountain ranges of Mexico. Researchers now know that all monarchs east of the Rockies fly over 2000 miles in vast swarms at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour and altitudes up to one mile. Since the life span of a monarch is less than a year, this epic migration is accomplished by butterflies who have never before seen their destination.

text: On 8/27/14, Long Run Exploration Ltd (TSX: LRE.TO) will trade ex-dividend, for its monthly dividend of $0.035, payable on 9/15/14. As a percentage of LRE's recent stock price of $5.32, this dividend works out to approximately 0.66%, so look for shares of Long Run Exploration Ltd to trade 0.66% lower — all else being equal — when LRE shares open for trading on 8/27/14.Below is a dividend history chart for LRE, showing historical dividends prior to the most recent $0.035 declared by Long Run Exploration Ltd: In general, dividends are not always predictable; but looking at the history above can help in judging whether the most recent dividend from LRE is likely to continue, and whether the current estimated yield of 7.89% on annualized basis is a reasonable expectation of annual yield going forward. The chart below shows the one year performance of LRE shares: Looking at the chart above, LRE's low point in its 52 week range is $4.35 per share, with $6.09 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $5.32. In Monday trading, Long Run Exploration Ltd shares are currently up about 0.2% on the day.

The Charles Schwab Corporation said yesterday that its founder and chairman, Charles R. Schwab, would give up the title of co-chief executive in May, though Mr. Schwab intends to continue piloting the company's strategy.
David Pottruck, who has been managing the company's operations for five years, will become sole chief executive and president. The company said Mr. Schwab's move would bring the company in line with new standards of corporate governance, though almost no other big American financial company has split its chairman and chief executive roles lately.
One exception is the E*Trade Group, one of Schwab's rivals in online trading. Last week, E*Trade, which is based in Palo Alto, Calif., named an outside director to be its chairman after Christos M. Cotsakos resigned as chairman and chief executive.
Neither Mr. Schwab, who turned 65 in July, nor Mr. Pottruck, 54, was available for comment yesterday, said Greg Gable, a spokesman at Schwab's headquarters in San Francisco.
In a statement, Mr. Schwab said: ''As many experts have suggested, from regulators to Congress to independent blue ribbon panels, it is important in today's environment that the positions of C.E.O. and chairman be distinct and that the chairman play a central role. I intend to embody that and be the model of an active chairman.''Continue reading the main story
Schwab also announced yesterday that it had agreed to sell the bulk of its operations in Europe to Barclays P.L.C. for an undisclosed sum. In selling its London-based brokerage firm, Schwab is largely pulling out of Europe after withdrawing from Japan, Australia and Canada.
Glen Mathison, another Schwab spokesman, said the sale fitted the company's strategy of concentrating on brokerage business conducted in dollars, rather than local currencies. To compete with other brokerage firms based in Europe would have required a much bigger investment than Schwab was prepared to make. Schwab, which has been cutting costs and laying off thousands of employees for two years, still operates dollar-based brokerage operations in Europe, Hong Kong and Latin America, he said.
Barclays would decide how many of Schwab's 400 employees in London to keep, Mr. Mathison said. He said the sale would reduce Schwab's costs but the price would have little effect on Schwab's earnings.
Analysts said that the planned management change at Schwab should have little effect on the company's operations or prospects.
''Pottruck has been taking on more and more responsibilities for years,'' said Richard Strauss, an analyst at Goldman, Sachs. ''He had a big role in growing the business and will have an even more challenging job now in reviving the company's fortunes.''
Scott E. Wendelin, chief executive of Prospect Financial Advisors in Los Angeles, said he thought investors would applaud the move.
''I'm absolutely convinced that Charles Schwab thinks this is going to make the stock price go up,'' said Mr. Wendelin, a former investment banker. ''Most C.E.O.'s I've talked to don't believe that corporate governance sells. I think Charles Schwab does and he's got a huge stake in proving it.''
Mr. Schwab, who founded the company in 1971, is its biggest stockholder with 244 million shares, worth about $2.25 billion. He sold the firm to Bank of America in 1983, then led a buyout of it in 1987, and took it public.
In trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Schwab's shares rose 8 cents, to $9.22.
None of the biggest firms on Wall Street have split their two top jobs permanently. At Merrill Lynch, David H. Komansky will remain chairman until April when he will yield that title to E. Stanley O'Neal, who succeeded Mr. Komansky as chief executive last year, a firm spokesman said.
At the Goldman Sachs Group, Henry M. Paulson Jr., who has criticized the governance of other companies, is chairman and chief executive. A Goldman spokesman said the firm had no plans to separate the jobs because it already had an independent board.
Citigroup, J. P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers Holdings and Bear Stearns each have one man serving as chairman and chief executive.Continue reading the main story

text: I searched the forum but didn't see this discussed already so forgive me if it has already been addressed..... I just purchased an Inspire 1 and before I started flying I updated the firmware per the instructional videos and everything went fine with one exception. I updated the firmware in the following order 1) Inpsire 1 with a TB48 battery (TB48 #1) installed - attempt update - success 2) Replaced TB48 #1 with TB48 #2 - attempt update - success 3) Replaced TB48 #2 with TB48 #3 - attempt update - success 4) Replaced TB48 #3 with TB47 #1 (the one that came "in the box") - attempt update - as soon as I turned on the battery to initiate the firmware update on TB47 #1, the gimbal/camera started shaking and turning erractically so I turned it back off. 5) Removed TB47 #1 and replaced with TB48 #1 6) Connected Remote Controller #1 (the one "in the box") - attempt update - success 7) Connected Remote Controller #2 - attempt update - success So with the same .BIN file I was able to update everything but the one TB47 that came in the box. I don't dare try again because I am worried about damage to the gimbal. Could anyone shed some light on what is going on and how I might fix it?

She was captured on film as a little girl, because she was famed for having a chicken that walked backwards. If most of the photos of the great MFOC are any testament, she was never comfortable unless sharing the spotlight with a bird.

She had such a strong sense of a 'guardian angel' as a child that she went into a shed at six or seven, held a broom up over her head and started swinging in the hopes she could knock hers down to see it.

Whoa!!!i'm shocked to find out that she's a she! I thought Flannery was a masculine name, and mainly because her stories read like written by male writers- pessimistic, dark, cynical, depressing, gritty.

|Re: Schema disagreement under normal conditions, ALTER TABLE hangs
|Thu, 28 Nov 2013 17:58:42 GMT
Thanks Rob. Let me add one thing in case someone else finds this thread - Restarting the nodes did not in and of itself get the schema disagreement resolved. We had to run the ALTER TABLE command individually on each of the disagreeing nodes once they came back up.

The Kent State football program received a desperately needed dose of positive news last Wednesday when Antwan Dixon was released from the hospital just over two months after undergoing a life-saving bone marrow transplant.
Dixon suffered from aplastic anemia, a rare blood disease that first struck in high school then returned following his freshman season with the Golden Flashes. He did not play football or take classes at KSU last fall as his condition worsened, forcing him to return to his home in Fort Myers, Fla.
Dixon was eventually hospitalized and scheduled to receive a bone marrow transplant from his father, Anthony Dixon, on April 13 at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. He lost several teeth before surgery, but the procedure was successful. Dixon's recovery went well, and he wound up leaving the hospital about a month ahead of schedule.
On the day he returned home, a video produced by WINK News in Florida showed Dixon looking fit and moving remarkably well through agility drills, making explosive cuts and catching passes.
Dixon made a major splash as a 5-foot-8, 173-pound freshman wideout for the Flashes in 2015, gaining 162 yards on 11 carries while catching 26 passes for 355 yards. The explosive former South Fort Myers High School star provided a big-play threat for Kent State, scoring three touchdowns, on a 20-yard catch and runs of 47 and 75 yards.
Dixon has reportedly regained 33 of the 50 pounds he lost during surgery and plans to one day play football again at Kent State as head coach Paul Haynes has kept him on scholarship.
Kent State national champion Danniel Thomas has been named a semifinalist for The Bowerman award, given annually to the NCAA's top male and female track and field athletes. Three finalists will be named on June 21.
Thomas became Kent State's first female individual national champion on June 8, when she captured the shot put crown with a toss of 62-10 that set an NCAA National Championships record and is the second-best throw in NCAA history. The redshirt senior from Jamaica added a fourth-place showing in the discus two days later at the NCAA National Championships in Eugene, Ore.
The Kent State golf program lost a friend and one of its most faithful and generous supporters in Dennis Rango, who passed away last Friday.
"He was a teammate and one of my very best friends," said veteran Flashes golf coach Herb Page. "He was a passionate supporter and very philanthropic to our golf program. Dennis and (his brother) Rich were the catalyst to elevating our golf program through their support. I have great memories with Dennis on and off the golf course. My condolences go out to Debby and Elena, as well as Rich."
Dennis and Rich Rango have hosted a golf outing to raise money for Kent State's program for the past 31 years, raising nearly $750,000. They also each fund an endowed scholarship awarded annually to a member of the men's golf program.
Several players who starred on last year's Kent State squad fared well at the 2017 MONROE Invitational Championship, held June 7-10 at the Monroe Golf Club in Pittsford, New York.
Chase Johnson (Barberton/Walsh Jesuit) tied for second at 1-under-par, firing rounds of 69-67-70-69. Josh Whalen finished 15th at 5-over, while Ian Holt (Stow) placed 18th at 6-over.
Former Kent State national champion Dustin Kilgore closed his wrestling career by advancing to the 97-kilogram semifinals at the 2017 US men's Freestyle World Team Trials in Lincoln, Neb.
Kilgore will now delve into coaching. The Flashes' 2011 NCAA National Champion has accepted a position as an assistant coach at Rider under new head coach John Hangey.
Former Kent State star forward Jimmy Hall worked out for the Brooklyn Nets last week, according to Basketball Insiders, along with fellow pro prospects Jawun Evans of Oklahoma State, Dillon Brooks of Oregon, Amile Jefferson of Duke, Erik McCree of Louisiana Tech and Derrick White of Colorado.
Hall earned First Team All-Mid-American Conference honors for the third time in 2016-17, when he led the Flashes to the MAC Tournament title. Following his senior season, he made a solid showing at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, averaging 14.7 points and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 54 percent from the floor in three games.

The small city of Kroonstad is located in the Free State province of South Africa. It lies almost halfway between Johannesburg (in Gauteng) and Bloemfontein, making it a roughly two hour drive from either destination. It is currently the 3rd biggest city in the Free State and serves as a significant agricultural centre, not to mention an important railway stop on the Cape Town- Johannesburg railway.
Kroonstad is a pretty place, lying on the banks of the Vals River, a tributary of the great Vaal River. Its surroundings are characterised by big blue skies and wide open spaces - much of which has been given over to farming. Thus the warms hues of maize and wheat fields contrast with the blue of the sky. The area is also renowned for producing dairy, wool and meat products.
Kroonstad was initially developed in 1855, when the then Orange Free State gained independence. It was named the capital of the area for a brief period but its reputation as a British colony during the Boer War is more enduring. It was the site of a concentration camp where many a Boer woman and child were held. Today there is a memorial paying tribute to the concentration camp prisoners.
Kroonstad is home to many memorials and historical buildings, from the NG Kerk (church) to memorials of fallen World War 2 soldiers. There is a blockhouse just south of the town commemorating the 2nd Boer War too.
If history doesn't interest you that much, there are a few other things to keep you busy. Apart from the quaint weekend flea markets and tea rooms dotted around town, there is an 18-hole golf course and the Vals River is popular among anglers, as is the Bloemhoek Dam. The Serfontein Dam on the other hand is frequented by boating and water sport fanatics.
Kroonstad may not have as many bells and whistles as the big cities, but it is a pleasant place to stop over on a longer journey.

More like awkward face, I didn't want to seem overly enthusiastic :P
okay.. :(
They're fine.42|20|0
Wonderful, wonderful gif. And thanks :)
Your legs look fine - nice in fact. You have a great shape. Another pic - a side pic would help. Men judge more from the side than straight on. We look for length (yours are fine), calf, and if there's a cankle. I suspect you are fine though just from the straight-on shot.11|00|0
You have a thigh gap! That is a nontrivial plus!
Not voluntarily but yeah, I have a tiny teeny gap. And thank you.
Your gap is just right! I bet in a pair of stilettos, your legs would be fine indeed.
they're not short... legs are supposed to be around 40-50% of your total height, no?
they look fine don't worry11|00|0
Yeah? I thought it was short. Thanks :)
So are you asking me about your legs or your stomach?
Either way you're fine nothing to worry about.11|00|0
Legs. I added the stomach thinking seeing my waist might give an opinion on their length, compared to my body.

Sorry about the bad quality. I rushed through it. And thank you :)

Really? I thought thighs were thicker than they are supposed to already. But yeah, I will tone them up. Haha, sorry about the quality. My legs are one of my biggest insecurities so I was like "Alright, let's get it over with!".

I know it's for "guys" but anyway, from a girl perspective, I think they look fine... if you wanted to look more toned, I'd do leg exercises just to make them more defined, as in my opinion defined legs looks so sexy! and more attractive! :D!.. but if you don't like that, then you look fine like that from what I see.11|00|0
No it's for everyone really :) And thank you, I'll look up some online

"X-ray Dept lunchtime unavailability."
About: Saffron Walden Community Hospital Saffron Walden Community Hospital Saffron Walden CB11 3HY
Posted by Richard Remnant
Trying to book an X-ray was unexpectedly difficult. The reception telephone was unattended for an hour between 1-2. When asked, the receptionist said they were at lunch. There is an answer machine but they switch it off as it's so annoying to them when they're having lunch. This is pretty unacceptable customer service. Normal expectation is for cover to be provided, failing that, a message leaving facility should be in place.
This is a shame, as the rest of the experience was very good.
Response from Saffron Walden Community Hospital 9 months ago
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of the difficulties you have experienced in contacting our X-Ray Department and would very much like to investigate this further for you. We would be most grateful if you could contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) Department on tel: 01223 216756 or via email: firstname.lastname@example.com

I'll be in Sydney just before NYE - hoping I can get a spot on the harbour to see the fireworks! - Should be awesome. Does anyone else have plans for NYE?
No plans yet but i know someone who went the harbour and said it was amazing at new year so will probably be there somewhere :-)
I will be in Sydney on the 26th December till 3rd Jan then who knows find some people to travel up the east coast working on route potentially as travelling alone. I have booked base hostel over new year friends said it was a really good place for a party and a laugh. Then looking to find a job and travel a bit. I have no plans for NYE but would like to meet up with a few people and have a laugh! Any advice would be welcome or if anyone will be in the same boat as me.
Same as you guys, no plans but have heard the harbour on new year is amazing so think this would be a good idea Mark I think I'm staying at Base too so I'll probably see you there!
Hey guys will be in Sydney from like the 5th of Jan so if anyone is around that time let me know as I'm going alone and would be nice to meet up with some people, especially people that have been there a while and can let me know of places to go and where not to go.
I'll be in Sydney Christmas and NYE, apparently the harbour is the place to be! That and the beach on Christmas Day of course 😀
Looks like its the harbour for NYE then! I can't wait for Christmas on the beach... Get a nice little bbq going it'll be great! How long does everyone plan to stay in Sydney?
We think by late Jan / early Feb we will be ready to head up the east coast though we aren't sure on the best way to do that yet.
Same Lydia!
We've been looking at buying a car but my god it's expensive haha how you thinking of travelling up there?

Ferdinand remains upbeat
Rio Ferdinand remains upbeat about Manchester United's title hopes, despite losing to his brother
Last Updated: 02/01/08 4:28pm
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is remaining upbeat about the Reds' title hopes - despite losing to his brother over Christmas.
Ferdinand says he had an "awful Christmas period" after United lost 2-1 to West Ham, with his brother Anton scoring against his team.
But, the West Ham loss aside, second-placed United won all three of their other festive games to give themselves a fighting chance of retaining their Premier League crown.
Speaking of the situation, Ferdinand said: "We are still there or thereabouts in the league and if we had been offered this position at the start of the season, we would have taken it.
"But nine points from four games over Christmas is not satisfactory for me at all.
"I have had an awful Christmas period, losing to West Ham and my brother scoring as well. But sometimes, you have to take these things on the chin and make sure they don't happen again."
Ferdinand believes United's defensive record can be the platform to win the league.
He added: "We have a good record defensively. That is the platform we can build on to be a championship-winning team. It happened last year and it would be great if it happened again."
Meanwhile, with Arsenal and Chelsea also hitting top form, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes this year's title race could be the closest experienced in a long time.
"The run-in could be exciting for the first time in a long time, with other teams involved," he said.
"Hopefully we will be involved because we have the players to do it."
On the plus side, United's squad will be boosted by the return of several long-term injury casualties. Park Ji-Sung has returned from a cruciate operation, Gary Neville is set to play soon, while Paul Scholes is likely to return from mid-February.
While United's squad is being bolstered by these returns, challengers Arsenal and Chelsea are both about to lose players to the African Nations Cup.
They also have the disadvantage of playing two extra games in January after progressing to the Carling Cup semi-finals.

|Fresh-milk cheeses and sweets made from grape must are popular snacks with wine in Georgia.
If you are an oenophile, the names of wines from the Caucasus land of Georgia may start coming to your lips more quickly as the country makes a big new push into China. Mike Peters reports from Tbilisi.
The "houses" were crude shelters shaped out of rammed earth. Life was pretty simple back in the 6th millennium BC, but in those days the tribes of what is now Georgia were making the first strides toward modern agriculture, growing cereals and grapes. The earliest evidence of winemaking has been found there, dried pips and wine "must" in 8,000-year-old jars made of sun-dried clay.
Since then, the fertile valleys of the South Caucasus mountains have been producing some of the world's most iconic wines-with names that are musical but a challenge to pronounce, like the popular white grape variety rkatsiteli (kat-sa-telly). Georgia not only claims the oldest winemaking but the largest number of indigenous wine grapes, more than 500. Many of the intriguing names are based on the various grapes' shapes and colors (mtsvane, another fabled white grape, is the word for "green").
The fact that you may have never heard of them is a reflection of regional politics: Few countries have been invaded and conquered by so many. The small country sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, hugging the eastern coast of the Black Sea, south of Russia and north of Turkey. Waves of conquerors included Arabs, Persians and Russians, and by Soviet times the region's acclaimed wines were mostly consumed in the USSR.
Lately, Georgia has been eager to diversify its market, reintroducing its wines to Europe, where they were once favored by the ruling houses of Europe in medieval times.
The country's winemakers also have their eyes on China in a big way. While the Middle Kingdom still loves its baijiu, the powerful white liquor, it's also the world's biggest consumer of red wine. A pending free-trade agreement will make Georgian wines much more available-and affordable thanks to waived import taxes-as soon as next year.
In the meantime, the country's entrepreneurial merchants have been busy in China, setting up dozens of Georgian wine shops around the country, from big cities to the far west, where Georgian food and wine have been known since Silk Road days.
"China, the Baltics and the US are all important markets now," says Irakli Cholobargia, head of marketing for the National Wine Agency in Georgia's capital, Tbilisi. "These are countries that will accept something new if you can tell a good story about it."
Georgia's position as an East-West crossroads has shaped its food and wine for centuries.
"It's not fusion," insists Tekuna Gachechiladze, the chef/owner of Littera and Culinarium in Tbilisi. "Our native cuisine has been shaped for thousands of years, with influences from Persia and the Middle East."
Our visiting group savors a big spread of her colorful dishes. There are tasty morsels of nadugi, a fresh-milk cheese similar to ricotta, and adjiki, a savory spice mix made into a paste like North African harissa. On another plate, a green spice blend bursts with layers of flavor: green pepper, mint, tarragon, coriander and garlic.
Organic beetroot gives dips and sauces an incandescent red color, while strained Georgian yoghurt offers hints of pomegranate-a fine complement to roasted lamb chops.
"And don't forget walnuts," says the chef, whose TV programs have made her the country's version of Julia Child. "We use walnuts in everything!"
Georgians love their food and drink. At a Georgian supra (feast), a huge assortment of dishes is prepared-always with large amounts of wine.
"As a child, I was always happy when one of my grandmother's old neighbors died," Gachechiladze tells us with a sheepish grin, "because my grandma would make a lot of wonderful dishes for everyone to eat."
At most dinners, there will almost certainly be singing. The role of the tamada (toastmaster) is an honored one. He or she also decides what wine is next to be drunk.
That could be intimidating in a country with 525 documented grape varieties, hundreds of wineries and charming wine bars on every corner. Most of the market, however, is driven by a few known grapes-especially for export.
Saperavi is the most common red at home and abroad-a robust red that produces high-quality dry red wines that age well, plus sweet, semi-sweet and rose vintages. Other grape wines in the export market include takveri, which boasts aromas of wild roses and red fruit; the strong-bodied shavkapito; and otskhanuri sapere, which generally produces a raspberry-colored wine that's a bit rough in young vintages but ages into an elegant, rich beauty with a long finish.
The most famous white wines include rkatsiteli, which is used to make traditional wines in clay vessels called quervi as well as wines in the modern style. The grape is often blended with mtsvane Kakhuri, one of the country's most ancient varieties with hints of peach and mineral overtones. Rkatsiteli is widely exported-to Russia, the US and western China. In fact, Xinjiang winemakers embraced the grape so long ago that some produce their own rkatsiteli.
When you visit a Tbilisi wine bar, you may be surprised when someone asks mischievously, "Do you want a little kissy?" If that happens, there's no need to pucker up: You are simply being offered kisi, a white variety from the famed Kakheti region of eastern Georgia. Classically produced kisi offers floral notes of pear, citrus and green tea, while a regional Kakhetian style delivers characteristics of apricot, mango, orange and walnut.

Forms in the old account still receives submission, how to stop?Asked by zalgirissoccer on November 17, 2014 at 11:11 AM2.) Additionally, we have moved our registration link from one Jot Form account to another. We cloned our form and linked the new account to our website. Our test registrations and one new client came through on this new account but several others are still going to our old account! Why would this happen and how can we stop registrations from going to an account no longer linked to our website?
Could you please give us the link to the pages where the jotform(s) are that are causing this issue as well as the steps that we would need to take to recreate the issue.
Also since there is a combination of 2 account, we must have the confirmation being made for this from the account owning the jotform as mentioned in the other thread.
Best Regards,
Hi Ben,
We the submissions are coming through (some of them anyway) through our Zalgiris account as well as some through the Mass Young Gunners account. The ones coming through Zalgiris are the ones running into the issues. We thought that they could no longer come through our old Zalgiris form since we re-created it in Mass Young Gunners and replaced the old (zalgiris) link with the new (Gunners).
I will go into Gunners now and submit that now. I will include the web page - the form is under the "become a Gunner" icon.
Thank you,
Hi Christine,
Thank you for the update. As soon as you post the links to the jotforms in question we will take a look at what might be the issue with them.
Best Regards,
Is this what you're looking for?
Hi Again,
Here we are as MYGunners. Here is the link to the webpage as well.
or this? http://www.jotform.com//?formID=43116651356149
Hi Christine.
Thank you for confirmation of the request. We must do this if the account is not the same where request comes and jotforms are under.
Now I went to the page above and found these jotforms:
http://www.jotform.us/form/22083822696156 (zalgirissoccer)
http://www.jotform.us/form/43116651356149 (MAYoungGunners)
Now when going to this page here: http://www.massyounggunners.com/register/ (to confirm this is the info that I was asking for).
I think that the issue with different accounts getting the same forms submitted is here:
Section marked under 1 links to this jotform: http://www.jotform.us/form/43116651356149 (MAYoungGunners account), but if you click on the link under 2nd section it takes you to a page with this jotform: http://www.jotform.us/form/22083822696156 (zalgirissoccer account)
They look the same, but each will submit to its own account.
Changing the link to be the same in both occasions would result in jotforms being submitted to only one account.
Do let us know how it goes after the change.
Best Regards,

AN unprecedented seventh Australian is set to play in the NBA this season after the Utah Jazz signed towering Queensland forward Brock Motum.
Motum, who is preparing to represent the Boomers at the FIBA World Cup this week, was snapped up by the Jazz after impressing at the Summer League in Las Vegas.
He will join fellow Australian Dante Exum on Utah's roster this season.
Both will form part of Australia's record contingent in the NBA this season.
Andrew Bogut (Golden State Warriors), Patty Mills (San Antonio Spurs), Cameron Bairstow (Chicago Bulls) and Matthew Dellavedova (Cleveland Cavaliers) are signed for 2014-15.
Aron Baynes, part of San Antonio's championship-winning team last season, remains a free agent but has been linked with a return to the Spurs.
"I felt like I've done a pretty good job of showcasing my talent, my ability in a team setting," Motum told the Utah-based Deseret News after the NBA Summer League. "Utah is a great team, a great organisation. It's structured really good and it suits my game, I think. That's allowed me to play well this week."
Motum played college basketball with Washington State before heading to Europe for a season with Virtus Bologna.
He scored eight points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in five games in the Summer League playing largely from the bench.
"I thought Brock Motum played really well," Jazz assiatnt coach Brad Jones said at the time. "He did a nice job of picking up our stuff and understanding it and being able to do what he does with the flow. It was nice to see him step up and play well.
Looking forward to heading to the @FIBA World Cup in Spain #boomers pic.twitter.com/2RCN2B7JW4— Brock Motum (@brockm12) July 27, 2014
"International people know he's a good player because he's going to play on the Australia national team. Maybe in Salt Lake people didn't know he's a good player, but our scouting staff knew he was a good player. I thought he did really well for us the past week and a half."
The US media have already taken a shining to Motum.
Brian Shaw, writing in the Examiner, said Motum was similar to "a young Mick Dundee and requires the use of SPF 100 sunscreen for his lilywhite skin" while simulatenously appearing like "a frizzy haired blonde surfer-looking dude from Brisbane" who "looks like he fits in the outback."
"You'd expect Motum to carry a snakeskin sheath for his machete along with a matching hat long before you'd ever expect him to pick up a basketball and dunk it like the second coming of Clyde Drexler," Shaw wrote.
