Quote of the Week
"If you want to know what has gone wrong in obstetrics, read the pediatric journals."
— Doris Haire, 1977
The Art of Midwifery
I use a children's fitted plastic sheet with elastic edges at homebirths. I find that at the last minute, the birthing woman may choose to deliver in a place that is not protected. Right before she delivers, I spread my fitted plastic sheet under the Chux pad, and it catches nearly all of the blood and water and makes cleanup a very easy task.

News Flashes
Simple maternal hydration can increase amniotic fluid volume, a study has shown. A search of the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group Trials Register and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register were searched to compare maternal hydration with no hydration in pregnant women with reduced or normal amniotic fluid volume. In two studies, 77 women were asked to drink two liters of water before having a repeat ultrasound examination. Maternal hydration in women with and without oligohydramnios was associated with an increase in amniotic volume (weighted mean difference for women with oligohydramnios 2.01, 95% confidence interval 1.43 to 2.56; and weighted mean difference for women with normal amniotic fluid volume 4.5, 95% confidence interval 2.92 to 6.08). Intravenous hypotonic hydration in women with oligohydramnios was associated with an increase in amniotic fluid volume (weighted mean difference 2.3, 95% confidence interval 1.36 to 3.24). Isotonic intravenous hydration had no measurable effect. Controlled trials are needed to assess the clinical benefits and possible risks of maternal hydration for specific clinical purposes.

Antibacterial properties of some spice plants before and after heat treatment [Article in Chinese]
Chen HC, Chang MD, Chang TJ.
This study was carried out to understand the antibacterial properties of some spice plants before and after heat treatment in boiling water. The samples included the core and the outer layers of onion, the white and the green parts of green onion, garlic bulb, ginger, ginger root, sweet pepper, chili pepper, brown pepper, and mustard. The test microorganisms included Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium phlei, Streptococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus, and Micrococcus luteus.
Raw garlic bulb could inhibit all of the test strains. The antibacterial activities of green onion are slightly weaker than that of onion. However, green onion could inhibit P. aeruginosa and M. luteus, but onion could inhibit E. coli, P. vulgaris, S. faecalis, and B. cereus. Ginger and ginger root could only inhibit M. luteus. Chili pepper could inhibit V. parahaemolyticus and P. vulgaris. Brown pepper could also inhibit P. vulgaris. Sweet pepper and mustard showed no antibacterial activity toward any of the test strains.
In general, antibacterial components in the spice plants were heat labile. All the spices tested lost their antibacterial activities within 20 min at 100 degrees C.
Mother's cultures at 36 and 38 weeks showed 2+ colonization. I had her take 500 mg vitamin C every 4 waking hours, 1 EHB (NF Formulas) capsule every 4 waking hours, Propolis 4 times daily, and she inserted a tampon soaked in 2% tea tree oil solution (2% tea tree essential oil, 98% olive oil). She left the tampon in for 4 hours each day for 6 days. Culture at 39 weeks was negative for GBS. She had a long labor, a high leak for 72 hours, then a rapid active phase and second stage, healthy baby, normal placenta, and normal recovery.

I have just had three births in a row with three anterior lips. They lasted three, four, and eight hours. We tried numerous different positions, pulsatilla, evening primrose oil, and time. (Obviously giving it time worked for each birth.) What other ways do midwives use to avoid cervical lips, and what are some tried and true ways of getting rid of them?

Question of the Week
Q: I am searching for information about the diagnosis of polyhydraminos for one of my students, i.e., the accuracy of diagnosis, implications for the condition, statistics regarding outcomes, and options for families, etc. The family in question wishes to have a homebirth even if the prognosis is bad, but they are concerned about the implications for a care provider attending such a birth.

Question of the Week Responses
Q: A client having her first baby has a vaginal septum (one cervix and uterus). Does anyone have home- or hospital-birth experiences with this? I know what Williams says, but I want to hear from midwives. We are trying to assess the risk of homebirth in relation to bleeding and the possible need for sutures to the septum.
— Keta Johnson
A: I have come across this several times during birth because as a rule we do not do vaginal exams before active labour. I have found that one of two things may occur: either it is in the way or it isn't. If it isn't, you simply hold it to one side. If it is, you'll find it is fibrous tissue that you can easily snap with your scissors. It will not bleed. Afterward you may check the area, but 9 times out of ten it seems to simply have withdrawn. If not, you may perform some neat plastic surgery. In either case, I would not consider it a reason for going to hospital: what's the gain?
— Annemieke van der Peet, after 25 years of experience, the Netherlands
A: Having delivered a woman with a rather thick septum and two cervices, my experience was that the septum tore quite a bit, and because of swelling the appearance and shape was distorted. It was difficult to reapproximate, but I did it. Bleeding was nothing dramatic, but I chose to repair rather than remove the septum to avoid more bleeding. I am very confident with suturing and anatomy and feel that if a homebirth is planned either somebody with amazing suturing skills be available or the client may need to be willing to transport for the repair.
— Anon.
A: Does the septum travel up distally? If it does not, here are some ideas about what to do; if it does, this is not applicable. Is she experiencing any bleeding with this septum? If she is, you must be watchful that it does not tear. If it does tear you will have a problem on your hands if you don't know where the bleeding is coming from. My recommendations for this situation if it is not distal are: as the head descends and gets to station 3-4, numb up the area anterior and posterior of the septum. Use two hemostats to clamp off the bleeding, then clip the middle of the septum and let the baby pass through the septum and be born. We like to use less hardware on the perineum, so we use a metal cord clamp for the posterior part of the septum. Then when all is done and the placenta is born, you can clip the septums both anteriorally and posteriorally and suture the bleeding stopped. Figure 8 works nicely if you like. Then if there has been any tearing, be sure to fix this at this point. Most women do just fine as long as this problem is not distal.

Re: interstitial cystitis (IC) [Issue 5:04]:
Years ago I delivered a woman who developed IC after birth. I went on to deliver five more babies for her without incident. She delivered at home and the last three I delivered were waterbirths. I know that she had at least one more baby after she moved from my area. That would have been baby number nine!
— Carol Severson
Re: Itching during pregnancy [Issue 5:01]:
Itching is the result of an imbalance of yeast in the body. Take probiotic and even oil of oregano to introduce good bacteria such as acidopholus into the system as well as other positive bacteria. I have severe itching too right now, and this course of action was recommended to me as an alternative to taking Benadryl. I haven't yet tried oil of oregano (systemic, not topical).

With Woman: "Dangerously High" Blood Pressure before Birth
by Gloria Lemay, compiled by Leilah McCracken
"Dangerously high" blood pressure (BP) is a term that a doctor might use to shut a woman up and make her do whatever she's told. If a woman's blood pressure is elevated before birth, you would want to know:
- What was the starting baseline in this pregnancy?
- What is the BP now?
- Who's taking the BP reading, and is the mother in the same position (sitting, side lying, standing) each time?
- Does the mother have a fat arm and is the cuff long enough for her?
- Is she on any medication right now?
- Is she spilling any protein in the urine?
- Does the baby seem to be growing appropriately - i.e., is it the right fundal height for dates or close to it?
One of the good things that doctors learn to do is ask a lot of questions. If a midwife phoned a doctor and said "I have a client whose BP is dangerously high" the doctor would ask the midwife every one of those questions before jumping to any conclusions. The thing to remember about high blood pressure is that the body is trying to protect the baby and the mother by sending the BP up. Why it does this we don't know, but even the doctors don't want to bring it down to "normal" 110/70 levels. They are happy if they get it down to 140/90 and they stop medicating there. Many obstetricians around the world will not treat any hypertension which does not include proteinuria (protein in the urine).
The treatments have dangerous side effects, especially to the liver, which is the organ that is having difficulty in the first place. If the client had a diastolic reading that was more than 15 higher than her initial BP, protein in the urine, and swelling in the face, hands and feet, this would be of great concern. If increasing her protein, salt, and rest did not turn it around very quickly, I would definitely want her to seek medical advice. Dr Brewer recommends intravenous serum albumin therapy.
I helped one woman who got into this scenario, and her baby was removed from her body by cesarean at 32 weeks gestation. The baby was small for dates. The woman did a fantastic job of persevering with breastfeeding against all odds, and her daughter is a big healthy girl now. That is one case in more than 1000 women I have worked with, so it should be a very rare occurrence.

Note: This article is also published online in French and Spanish.
Advice for helping moms who have been physically, emotionally or sexually abused [Issue 5:04]: Moms who have been abused often have big emotional burdens or "charges." Sometimes the moms are consciously aware of their emotional charges, but often these charges are held on a subconscious level. These moms need help to bring their emotional charges to a conscious level where they can be acknowledged and released. This kind of work requires the assistance of a professional experienced in accessing the subconscious, including specially trained psychologists, hypnotherapists, Healing Touch or energy practitioners, rapid eye-movement technique practitioners and such. When the mom is brought to an awareness of the emotional charges she is holding onto and then she is helped to release those charges, she is then able to experience more self acceptance and loving feelings toward her unborn child. Books that explain these approaches include "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die" by Karol Truman, "Getting Through to Your Emotions with EFT" by Phillip & Jane Mountrose, "Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma" by Peter Levine.

I have found that an herbal tea called Mothers Milk helps, along with relaxation and plenty of water and fluids. Feeding frequently also seems to bring milk down and produce more in the long run.
It is natural for milk production to decrease during pregnancy because the mature milk for the nursling will change to colostrum sometime after the third month. If the nursling is still dependent on mamma's milk for full nutrition, this change has serious consequences for the nursling because colostrum doesn't have the same nutritive value to support growth in the older baby as mature milk does. It isn't realistic to boost supply in this case. Best to nurse and supplement.
— Nikki Lee RN, MSN, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CIMI, CCE, craniosacral therapy
I am breastfeeding Lorien (2 yrs 4 months) and Noah (7 months). I have used no formula for either of them. Noah has just started to eat other foods. Breastfeeding through my pregnancy went through cycles: early on my milk supply seemed to have dropped off by how it felt when Lorien sucked. My nipples were more sensitive, and sometimes it didn't feel great, but with time it got better. My breastmilk seemed to have increased again toward the end of my pregnancy. I was prepared that Lorien might have weaned herself because I had heard that sometimes babies don't like the taste during pregnancy, but she seemed to enjoy it more. My most amazed moment came when Noah was born and I saw my milk turn back to colostrum and my mature milk return a few days later. Lorien seemed to like that too, although I did put her off having too much of it. I had also worked during the pregnancy to cut her night feeds down to only when the birds sing.
Since Lorien's and Noah's births I have also been expressing because I continued throughout with my midwifery studies and now have a full-time midwifery caseload. I have used homeopathics at times as well as galactalogue teas, herbal lactation tinctures when time has allowed. Mostly I just try to get them to feed as often as possible, and this works best. I work on eating well, and drinking to thirst. Mentally/physically/emotionally and spiritually I don't fall into thinking that my babies are 'draining' me of my energy. I see it as an energy/white light that passes through me and keeps me connected to them and the universe.

Nutrition does indeed play a major role in the synthesis of prostaglandins [Issue 5:04], in particular essential fatty acids (EFAs). Hemp oil is a good source of well-balanced omega 3 versus omega 6. Flax is a good source of omega 3, and you could also mix virgin olive oil (omega 6) with either flax or hemp for a more neutral taste. Bad saturated fats, mainly from animal sources or fast food, is also to be avoided because it counteracts the action of EFAs. I recommend the excellent book "Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill" by Udo Erasmus (Alive Books) to find out more about that subject.

I am very interested in training to be a midwife. I am presently in a completely different line of work but have thought long and hard about changing my direction.

Do you know how to become WIC certified and are there are any midwives who are WIC certified? I have recently been asked by the state of Montana to tell my clients that they can be screened and become enrolled by me for WIC. They asked if I was WIC certified and if not, told me I could become WIC certified. I have asked other midwives in my area and no one knows what I am talking about.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — If Kyle Busch wants to reflect on the 2012 season — he most likely doesn't — it might be best if he looks back at last year's Budweiser Shootout.
It was in that race that he made some incredible saves, including one after a tap from Jeff Gordon in which Gordon ended up on his roof with just a couple of laps remaining.
MORE: Media Day photos | Bounce-back candidates | Sprint Unlimited format | Danica-Ricky
Starting ninth on the ensuing restart, Busch drove through the field and passed Tony Stewart at the finish line for the victory.
Everything fell into place for Busch, who won the race by 13-thousandths of a second over Stewart.
But instead of being an indicator of things to come, it was more of an anomaly. Busch rarely had everything go his way the rest of the season. He missed the Chase for the Sprint Cup and ended 13th in the final Cup standings.
"It was a great start," Busch said. "We had a couple of new sponsors that came on board last year. … The first race out of the gate, we're in victory circle spraying Monster everywhere. It was really, really good for the M&M's team and everybody at Joe Gibbs Racing.
"From there, it really didn't get much better."
The preseason race at Daytona International Speedway has changed names to the Sprint Unlimited. It has a new format, with fans opting for a 75-lap featuring three segments — 30 laps, 25 laps and 20 laps.
Fans also will decide whether drivers make a pit stop between the first and second segments and if any of the drivers in the back of the 19-car field will be eliminated after the second segment.
The event kicks off Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway, culminating with the Feb. 24 season-opening Daytona 500.
But as Busch can attest, Speedweeks and the Daytona 500 aren't always signs of how the rest of the season will go. His brother, Kurt Busch, won the Shootout in 2011 and found himself looking for a job by the following December.
Kyle has more stability, having just re-signed with Joe Gibbs Racing for several more years but hopes that more things fall into place like they did in the race last year.
Considered a championship contender going into the season and with his driving ability celebrated after that preseason win, Busch won just one Cup race, at Richmond in April, in 2012. He was having a decent year before he suffered three engine failures and then saw a potential win slip away on a crazy final lap on an oil-slicked track at Watkins Glen.
"After the three engine failures we had at Dover, Pocono and Michigan, we just never really got back on track, never really made it back towards the front where we needed to be to solidly be in the Chase," Busch said. "It was a frustrating year. We missed the Chase come Richmond time.
"From there on out, we just said, 'We've got to work hard, we've got to do the best we can, and try to end the year on a high note.' I felt like we did a really good job of that in finishing the lat 10 races off strong."
Busch hasn't totally put everything behind him. The Watkins Glen loss, missing the Chase and then a Dover race where he dominated but had to pit late — and then ripped Toyota engineers on his in-car radio — still bother him.
"Watkins Glen last year sticks with me," Busch said. "(Missing the Chase at) Richmond still sticks with me. Dover of last year, short on fuel and had to pit with seven (laps) go.
"You just try to understand and think of ways that you can do better in those situations to not have those issues arise again."
He hopes he has more situations like last year's preseason race. Well, sort of.
"It was odd (the way) the race was shaping up to be," Busch said. "I thought we were in a really good position to win the thing. Having the second spin (after Gordon's tap), I thought, 'Our race is over, we're not going to be able to get it now.'
"Tony and I restarted in the back and tagged up together and went to the front. I dumped him off at the pit road entry and was able to beat him to the checkered. It was cool. I wouldn't recommend trying to win it like that again, but if it comes down to it, you've got to do what you've got to do."

Get the Recipe
It wasn't easy, but I think I have cracked the general code to New Orleans bread pudding: double the cream, double the eggs, and add bourbon. It's a recipe for success!
This pudding, inspired by the highly delicious White Chocolate Bread Pudding at the Palace Cafe, has the soul of a New Orleans bread pudding. But it's gussied up for the season with cranberries, which add a wonderful tart contrast to the white chocolate in the butter and cream-rich custard, and a nice glug of bourbon, which certainly doesn't hurt anything. It's a perfectly decadent entrée into the Thanksgiving season.

Arians has spent his career as a coordinator and quarterbacks coach, so it'll be a natural transition. He worked and developed Peyton Manning with the Colts, Ben Roethlisberger with the Steelers and the first season of Andrew Luck with the Colts. Roethlisberger loved Arians so much he pouted all season, verbally and non-verbally, about his absence.
Cutler's a bit of a different story, of course.
He's already an established NFL quarterback, not some wide-eyed rookie eager to gain wisdom from a pro coaching sage.
But Cutler's favored style of play –a risk-taking, big-play loving, throw, throw and throw some more approach – is exactly what Arians loves to promote. Arians isn't afraid to use a running game. Look at the increase in the Colts' ground attack later in the season when Vick Ballard blossomed. Since the Bears have a big-time runner in Matt Forte, Arians would use that weapon.
But it's a passing league and Arians wholeheartedly endorses a passing attack. He has said often there are no "dinks and dunks" in his list of favorite plays. Brandon Marshall would be popular in an Arians offense.
Cutler can live without dinks and dunks, too.
Can Cutler take some constructive criticism? Arians doesn't sugarcoat things, and if Cutler would let him, he could still improve as he enters his eighth season in the league.
Arians is a bit of a mystery as a head coach since his only experience came this season as three-month interim coach of the Colts, a stretch where the Colts went 9-3 and found their way into the playoffs. But what Arians showed during this season is the fact he can keep a 53-man roster focused, he can handle both veterans and rookies and he can build game plans from team to team.
Some questions are harder to answer, such as which coaches Arians would have on his staff. He has made it a point that he wants to call plays if he's a head coach, essentially being the offensive coordinator, too. Would the Bears or any other team agree to that? Arians did both with the Colts, but there's no guarantee that would work over the long haul.
The Bears are a playoff-caliber team, so Arians would not have to rebuild. That's a key to why he'd be a good fit, too.
Arians is 60, which is pretty old for his first coaching job. With his age comes experience. There won't be anything that happens with the Bears that he hasn't dealt with or seen during his career. He won't be taken by surprise by any aspect of the job.
The fact this would be his first and likely last chance at a head coaching job would guarantee urgency in his approach.
He helped foster a win-now mentality with the Colts, a team no one expected to contend, so that shouldn't be an issue with a team like the Bears.
Incidentally, Bears fans and media who tired of Lovie Smith's news conferences and reticence to deliver any type of memorable sound bites? Arians never runs out of quips or stories. He'd be a media darling, at least until he lost to the Packers.
Arians told a San Diego radio station he is interested in the Chargers job, where former Colts vice president Tom Telesco is now the general manager. That could be a nice fit, too. The Eagles might also be interested.
Neither of those jobs is better than coaching the Bears. None of those teams have the weapons in place to make an immediate Super Bowl run. San Diego has Philip Rivers at quarterback, a player not unlike Cutler in terms of experience and approach. The Eagles are coming off a disaster and Michael Vick is not an Arians-style quarterback.
The Bears are the best team, right now, of the bunch. They are not far from Super Bowl contention. Earlier this season, they looked like one of the top three or four teams in the NFL.
Roethlisberger swore by Arians. Loved his guidance. Loved his play-calling. Loved his brash approach. That style would fit Cutler, too.
If the coach and QB fit, there's no better way to jump-start a team already on the verge of a big season.

Single blemish of '13 is motivation for Nelson
MESA, Ariz. -- More than five months later, Jimmy Nelson is still irked about those three walks he issued against the Mets in his first Major League start.
"I like to think I'm intense," he said. "It's something I've always been. Even since I was a younger kid, I was always competitive."
So part of Nelson, MLB.com's highest-rated Brewers prospect last year, is still affected by those walks last Sept. 28 at Citi Field, where he allowed one Mets run and only one hit over five innings. What annoys Nelson is that the run originated with a walk of Lucas Duda, who advanced to second base on a wild pitch and to third on a groundout before he scored on Daniel Murphy's sacrifice fly to tie the game at 1.
The teams traded late runs and went into extra innings before the Brewers won, 4-2, in the 10th.
"I felt like I did my job giving us a chance to win, and I was pleased with that," Nelson said. "But it was more of a battle than something I just let happen. My command kind of got away from me a little bit there, and I had to battle through it. I got through those five innings, and you look back on it and I only gave up that one run, but that run that scored was a walk. As a very intense guy I look at it as, if I don't walk that guy, maybe we don't go into extras and we win the game in nine."
Nelson pitched a scoreless inning with one strikeout -- and no walks -- in Saturday's walk-off win over the Royals. He has surrendered two earned runs on four hits in three innings so far this spring. Barring a tremendous spate of injuries to Brewers starters, he will probably begin the season back at Triple-A Nashville, where he finished last season.
In 27 starts between Double-A Huntsville and Nashville, Nelson was 10-10 with a 3.25 ERA and 163 strikeouts in 152 1/3 innings. After a callup to Milwaukee, he posted a 0.90 ERA in three relief appearances and the one start. Duda's was the only run charged to Nelson in the big leagues.
He hopes to bring his fiery mound manner back to Milwaukee in 2014.
"Sometimes, that intensity is a double-edged sword," Nelson said. "I've had to learn in pro ball how to control that emotion. It can work both ways, but as long as you control it, it's definitely positive. People that are very intense and competitive have to realize what we can control and can't control. Once you that, you're going to be a lot better off."

Stupidity or Insanity? Bullfighting – The Spanish Way [VIDEO]
Right up front I'm going to warn you-if you're a hard-core, PETA card-carrying, 'I-don't-eat-anything-that-ever-had-a-mother' animal freak, this video may very well cause your head to explode.
It involves stupid people doing stupid things with bulls. Now, I love rodeos. Bull riding and bull 'fighting'-American style-I'm cool with that. But this is just nuts. The video is purportedly a compilation of 'bull running' from Spain and Portugal. Speaking as a man who has worked with livestock, I've learned the hard way that there are some things you simply do not do. One of them is to provoke an 1,800 pound animal to charge you and drive you into a concrete wall. It's Monday. We need this.

The Fed Does Not Pump Up Oil Prices
I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people say, "The Fed is printing money and that's why oil prices are rising." The only thing that determines the price of oil is supply-and-demand, and a big part of that supply/demand equation is the monopolistic factor in the oil market. By that, I mainly mean, the Saudis, who are really the only ones with any excess capacity. They set the price at the margin. The way they operate is to set the price to their customers and allow quantity to adjust. Same way the Fed sets overnight rates. They state a target rate, then manipulate reserves so that the rate is hit and held constant. Actually, it's even easier these days because they just pay interest on reserves, but I digress.
Getting back to oil, when it comes to the price, outside of the Saudis and supply and demand, nothing else really matters that much. Not the Fed's monetary operations or the size of its balance sheet or the foreign exchange value of the dollar. It's funny how people use the dollar's exchange rate as an argument to explain every fluctuation (mainly the up fluctuations) in the price of oil. They'll say, the dollar's falling, so that's why oil prices are rising. But how does the foreign exchange value of the dollar affect the supply and demand of oil? It doesn't. If the dollar falls, relative to, say, the euro, then a European gains purchasing power in exact proportion to the purchasing power lost by an American. The quantity of oil demanded has not changed and the amount of oil produced has not changed. The only thing that has changed is that now a European can buy a little more and an American can buy a little less....338 more words left in this article.

"With a PGCE and performing arts degree, coupled with over 10 years' experience of teaching, I have seen first-hand how much enjoyment movement and dance brings young people.
"I have also recognised how children's confidence and social skills develop through having fun.
"Now mum to young twins, I decided the time was right to start something new and exciting by running a Diddi Dance franchise. I am really looking forward to bringing Diddi Dance to Wiltshire, South Gloucestershire and Swindon."
The dance classes will be held at Freshbrook Community Centre on Tuesday mornings at 10.45am from September. Classes will cost £5.

Cm Punk vs John Cena , people are saying this could be match of the year including John Cena himself , but can it be the legendary match that no one would forget??? Even above Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels .
This blog is about the X Division in Impact Wrestling and I'll have upcoming blogs like this with WWE also once a week.
Lets go back in the days when the X Division was the real deal with the likes of Low Ki , Sonjay Dutt , Jay Lethal , Sabu , Psicosis , Petey Williams and loads more . But no one can or should forget the 5-Star rated match AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels vs Samoa
Its official Sheamus and Justin Gabriel have turned face
Sheamus turned face on the 19th July tapings of Smackdown by attacking Wade Barrett
Justin Gabriel turned face after being accused of 'dropping the ball' by Heath Slater
so I wondered what WWE has in store for both of them and this is how I would put it
Justin Gabriel - A feud with
Alberto Del Rio - He is bound to win a World Champion especially if he is being put in a WWE Championship match against John Cena
Alex Riley - He's been moved back to Raw so it obvious he is going to be put in a rivalry with The Miz . But Im not sure if The Miz is staying at the top or being demoted to the Mid-Card section
Cody Rhodes - In Smackdown , there is 5 main

The highlights of Ohio State's nonconference schedule include contests against Marquette, Notre Dame and Maryland.
The game vs. the Fighting Irish is part of the Gotham Classic, whose finale will be staged Dec. 21 at Madison Square Garden.
Over the course of two weeks, the Irish, Buckeyes, Bryant, Delaware and North Dakota State will play in a round-robin format, with each team getting a chance to face everyone else. Ohio State and Notre Dame will host the three mid-major schools before playing in the Garden as part of a Dec. 21 doubleheader. Bryant faces Delaware in the other contest.
The Buckeyes' game vs. the Terrapins will be a foretaste of things to come, as Maryland will join the Big Ten in 2014-15. The Dec. 4 matchup will give Buckeyes assistant coach Dave Dickerson the chance to face his alma mater.
Ohio State certainly isn't playing the nation's toughest nonconference schedule, but it's hard to find fault in its methodology when the Big Ten is perhaps the nation's most competitive conference, and Thad Matta simply knows how to get the most out of his teams, guiding the Buckeyes to at least the Sweet 16 each of the past four seasons.
Ohio State's conference schedule will be released later this summer. Until then, gear up for November and December.
Nov. 9: Morgan State
Nov. 12: Ohio University
Nov. 16: at Marquette
Nov. 20: American University
Nov. 25: Wyoming
Nov. 29: North Florida
Dec. 4: Maryland
Dec. 7: Central Connecticut State
Dec. 11: Bryant
Dec. 14: North Dakota State
Dec. 18: Delaware
Dec. 21: Notre Dame in New York City (MSG)
Dec. 27 or 28: Louisiana-Monroe

Head of Embattled UK Climate Center Steps Down Amid Misconduct Allegations
Michael Andrews
December 3, 2009 12:50 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Phil Jones is stepping down as director of the the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, one of the world's leading climate research centers, after emails were released implicating him in academic misconduct.
(Source: University of East Anglia)
Director admits emails about apparent warming deception "do not read well"
University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit is one of the world's
primary sources for climate data
analysis and a close partner to the
UN's International Panel on Climate Change
. Its researchers have published much of the work that has helped the theory of anthropogenic causation to global warming to gain acceptance in much of research community.
Last week the CRU was the
subject of a cyberattack
. Hackers released a 160 MB archive of stolen information from the center, including a number of emails from the center's director, Professor Phil Jones.
Some emails were merely embarrassing, such as Jones gloating over the death of a climate change skeptic. Others offer signs of misconduct, with Jones appearing to carry out a campaign to remove climate skeptics from peer review boards. The emails also show Jones discussing how he and researchers under him purposefully altered data to make warming trends seem greater -- what seems to be academic fraud.
The information in the emails has not been confirmed or denied, but the center has confirmed a leak occurred and that it is investigating the matter. On Monday Jones announced via a
press release
that he would be stepping down as director while the investigations runs its course. He says he still stands by his center's research, though, including his own.
The University's Vice-Chancellor Professor Edward Acton supported Jones' decision to step down. Jones said the move was necessary for the CRU to "[continue] its world leading research with as little interruption and diversion as possible."
Supporters of warming have sought to minimize the results. While they have not necessarily questioned the authenticity of the leaked archive, they argue that the leak is a smear campaign. Jones has personally endorsed this theory, writing, "One has to wonder if it is a coincidence that this email correspondence has been stolen and published at this time. This may be a concerted attempt to put a question mark over the science of climate change in the run-up to the Copenhagen talks."
The leak indeed offers unfortunate tidings for proponents of climate change legislation. With the U.S. preparing to commit to
unprecedented and expensive emissions reductions
at the UN Copenhagen global warming talks, members of the U.S. government are now voicing doubts.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner, Wisc.-R, is quoted as saying the emails "read more like scientific fascism than scientific process." His colleague Rep. Ed Markey, Mass.-D, however complains that such criticism is merely a distraction from the "catastrophic threat to our planet."
Jones, at the center of the scandal, has made a comment that indicates the emails may be valid. He admitted in a post that the emails "do not read well", but dismisses claims of data alteration and misconduct as mere "confusion".
A close supporter of Jones, Lord Stern, author of the U.K.'s 2006 Stern Report, on Tuesday looked to help the embattled climate change movement by speaking out on his views. He says that the evidence of manmade warming is "overwhelming". He added that all views on the topic should be heard, but that the opinions of warming skeptics might not be valid views in his estimation. He called the skeptics "muddled and confused".
Confusion indeed seems afoot, but perhaps more at the CRU than anyplace else. It should be noted that some researchers appear in the released emails to have not cooperated with Jones' campaign and risked their jobs to preserve their academic integrity.
Kevin Trenberth was among those who refused to participate and questioned the certainty of the CRU's conclusions on manmade warming.
The CRU has moved to silence one point of criticism. It has agreed to publish missing land surface temperatures shortly. The research center says that 95 percent of its data has been publicly available for "several years". The center says that its conclusions that man is responsible for warming "correlate well to those of other scientists based on the separate data sets held by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS)."
It is apt that the CRU's release mentions America's GISS as the CRU warming scandal closely mirrors the controversy over data alterations by
Dr. James Hansen director of NASA's
Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS)
. Dr. Hansen's data was shown to have errors both in
which exaggerated warming trends.
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

There have been numerous significant advances realized through bovine infectious disease research. However, BRD remains a significant disease threat and a cause of tremendous loss. It is very clear that renewed efforts and innovative strategies are required to build on the successes of the past to achieve the successes of tomorrow, says D. Scott McVey, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVM,
To achieve better coordination and perhaps more efficient use of all resources, the following supportive actions could be considered:
- Coordination of integrative teams through an over-arching agency (USDA) to provide peer review and priority review for available public research funds. This would include use of development grants (as seed and matching funding) available to public/private partnerships.
- Strengthen testing and validation of new procedures in production settings (providing more than cost analyses). Promote publication of studies.
- Re-establish old links between clinicians, diagnosticians and basic research. This would include published sets of "best practices".
- Strengthen programs to support both basic and applied research through graduate fellowships, residencies, workshops and start-up funding for young research scientists. There is a critical need to provide sustained funding to train the next generation of research investigators.

FULLERTON Plans are moving forward on a $153.7 million project to construct two underpasses below train tracks that now cross major thoroughfares.
The project, scheduled to begin in early 2014, will lower State College Boulevard and Raymond Avenue underneath the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad line, just north of Valencia Drive.
Construction will take 2 1/2 years, said Don Hoppe, Fullerton's engineering director.
A temporary road around the construction at the Raymond crossing will allow traffic to continue on that stretch. But State College will be closed during construction.
The bridges will ease congestion now caused by trains stopping traffic. Also, without the train-vehicle conflict, trains will whistle less and the chance for accidents will be reduced.
"It's really about safety and mobility and creating quiet zones," Hoppe said. "(The crossings will be) much more user-friendly for anyone that lives in the area."
The work is part of the Orange County Transportation Authority's $589 million OC Bridges project, which involves the construction of underpasses or overpasses at seven crosses in Fullerton, Anaheim, Placentia and Yorba Linda.
For example, in Anaheim, there's a plan to build a $92 million underpass below the train tracks on State College. Construction is to begin in 2015.
Federal grants, along with Measure M, will pay for the work. Measure M funds come from a half-cent sales tax approved by Orange County voters for transportation projects.
Traffic studies predict that 120 trains will cross Raymond daily by 2020, and 85 will cross State College.
Currently, 30,000 vehicles travel that stretch of State College daily, and 28,800 use Raymond, Hoppe said. Traffic is expected to rise in coming years, said Mark Miller, the city's traffic engineer.
In the past five years, there have been no reported collisions involving trains and vehicles at the two intersections, said Sgt. Jeff Stuart, a police spokesman.
The OCTA plans to acquire about dozen properties in the construction zone.

I've been playing disc golf for a year now and I felt like it was time to put my bag up for critique. I just recently made some nice distance gains in the past few weeks.

In Steven Hall's new novel "The Raw Shark Texts," a young man wakes up in a room he doesn't recognize. He gets nervous when he realizes doesn't know where he is.
He gets scared when he realizes he doesn't know who he is.
The man does learn who he is, but his story only becomes stranger and scarier. He gets help from a psychologist but he also begins receiving mysterious letters, which he has apparently mailed to himself in the event that he loses his memory. In them he learns he's a hunted man.
"The Raw Shark Texts" is a hot literary property. It's being translated into 26 languages and has sparked a intense bidding war for the film rights. It's been described as "Moby Dick" meets "The Matrix," with elements of a thriller, science fiction, and more than a little horror. Steven Hall told Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr he wrote the book so it could be interpreted in a number of different ways, and so he's reluctant to say much on what the book's about.

Lets say that both players stay healthy this season. If Solomon Hill really impresses early in the season I could see Granger becoming more available. I tried this trade (http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=l6yph8q) on the NBA trade machine and it worked and I think it could be beneficial to both teams. Varejao would replace Mahimi as the backup 5 and Gee would just be there to make the salaries workout. With a backup front court of Scola/ Varejao I don't see how the Heat or any team could stop this team from winning the ring this year.
I know people are very loyal to Granger and wouldn't want to see him traded but what do you think of this trade?


text: Hoover closing in on winning season By Tommy R. Atkinson February 2, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Herbert Hoover is quietly approaching a milestone.The Huskies (10-6) are on pace to have their first winning season since 1996. They came close last season, finishing with a 12-13 mark after losing to Scott in their first regional appearance since the early 1990s."I thought we had a pretty good group coming in,'' said Huskies fifth-year coach Greg Ullman, who lost four starters to graduation. "Probably the biggest thing, we forget eight of our top 10 in our rotation are ninth and 10th graders. We're very, very young. They've done a really good job. They've really come along well."I definitely think there's bigger and better things. We're at a point now where we expect to win. We're not a scheduled win anymore. It's all the kids. They've worked really hard. They've done everything I've asked them to. I don't think they're happy at all. They're talking they want to do more. They want to be a threat to get to the state tournament.''And for the Huskies, it has truly been a team effort with no player averaging double figures and six different players scoring in double digits in their 16 games. Senior Jordan Marshall is the top scorer at 8.8 points, followed by Caroline Thornburg (7.9) and Bailey Aab (7.6). Marshall and Makayla Shamblin are the only two seniors on the squad."That's kind of a two-edged sword,'' Ullman said. "It's good that [opponents] don't know who to guard, but it's bad that you don't know who to go to. I guess our go-to person is whoever has a good game that night. Every night we go to a game, we don't know who it's going to be.''Hoover's 1996 squad finished 11-10 and was coached by Jeff Holliday. Some of the Huskies' top players included Cary Friel, Missy Anderson, Lori Grindstaff, Jenny Blackwell and Jennifer Kee. Missy Anderson is now Missy Smith, who coaches softball at Hoover and volleyball at George Washington, where she has won three AAA state titles."We've got an opportunity,'' Ullman said. "Nothing's a given at all. I thought this was going to be our best shooting team, but we're not. I'm somewhat encouraged by that because we're winning games. I'm kind of hopeful if we hit a stretch where we all click at the same time, we could be a dangerous team.'' Competitive balanceSt. Albans has been competitive this season with the top teams in the state, but the Red Dragons are still lacking that one ingredient to put them over the top.SA led Class AAA No. 1 Greenbrier East 20-18 in the opening half of Thursday's Big Atlantic Classic matchup before succumbing to a 65-39 loss. The Red Dragons (8-9) have gone toe-to-toe with Huntington (55-42), George Washington (37-25) and Princeton (52-49) in losses this season."What it's going to take is consistency,'' said coach Scott James after Thursday's loss. "Following coach's game plan. We started out well [against Greenbrier East]. We played with them for really about a quarter and a half."We were down 18-11 and came back and took the lead 20-18, then they went on a 14-2 run to end the half and we're down by 10. We come out and don't run the offense in the second half. Too many turnovers led to easy baskets.'' James said he is excited about what this group can accomplish. Red Dragons sophomore forward Breanna Propst is the fifth-leading scorer in the Mountain State Athletic Conference. Others have shown flashes, with double-digit outbursts from junior guard Kaitlynn Propst, freshman guard Tori Wilson and sophomore Addison Oliver."When these girls put four quarters together, they'll compete with anybody they play,'' he said. "It's something we're continuing to work on. "I'm excited about the opportunity when they do. I look out there at times and we have three freshmen on the floor. We've played really well at times, but we've go to put four quarters together.''Guts and guileGreenbrier East has struggled at times this season after two starters from last year's AAA state championship squad decided not to return.The Spartans (13-0), though, have persevered and find themselves undefeated and No. 1 in the Associated Press poll."These kids found a way,'' said East coach Jim Justice, who is also The Greenbrier resort owner. "That's all there is to it. The first day I came to practice I said, 'My gosh, we may not win five or six games.' These kids have dug in and they've been just determined."Now, are we going to go undefeated? I absolutely do not think that at all. Can we make a run? These kids have got a lot of effort, a lot of grit and a lot of passion. It's amazing, flat amazing, for these kids to be the No. 1 team in the state four weeks in a row. It's a real tribute to them.'' Crystal ball gazingThe picture for the Mountain State Athletic Conference Night of Champions is starting to come into focus.George Washington and Princeton are the only teams in the East Division without a loss, while Huntington and Spring Valley are unblemished in the West Division.The Tigers visit the Patriots this week, while the Timberwolves host the Highlanders on Monday. The winners of those games will likely meet in the conference title game Feb. 16 at the South Charleston Community Center, while the losers will play in the second-place game.Reach Tommy R.

TNA vs WWE; One Possible PPV idea
by, 06-24-2013 at 12:45 AM (6780 Views)
So recently I was criticizing someone else's blog on a potential WWE vs. TNA PPV for a lack of incite involved on his matches. While I am in the camp that believes WWE has nothing to gain from such a merger and feel as though TNA's talent as whole is a step below WWE's, as a wrestling fan I, like most, have thought about many 'dream' matches. So with a little extra time to burn and seeing as how it's been a while since I wrote anything, here goes my take on what I think would make a good TNA vs. WWE PPV.
First off, I would if such a PPV were to take place, I believe the best time would be at the end of the year. To put it on at a WM would be a huge travesty in my opinion. Second, I would have it play out like the original ECW One Night Stand PPV. Keep the promos to a minimum and just focus on the matches.
PRE-SHOW - Abyss vs. Kane
WHY - One of the 'dream matches' would see 2 'similar' big men duke it out.
How it would play out - Nothing fancy, just a typical match from both. In the end Kane would get the Choke Slam for the win in this too quick of a match.
Run Time - About 10 min
NO DQ FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE - Bully Ray vs. Sheamus
WHY - Arguably each companies best brawler would be primed for what Good ol' JR would call 'One heck of a SLOBBER KNOCKER!'. I think it's only fair as TNA Champion Ray has one of the 'Co-Main Events' and know Sheamus can give as good as he takes.
How it would play out - No frills in this match, just pure mayhem. Sheamus would start out on top until the weapons start coming into play giving Bully Ray the advantage. Plenty of brawling through the arena. Fighting spills into the back and Aces & Eights gets involved and works over Sheamus. This prompts Orton, Miz, and Christian to jump in. Numbers still favour A&E though when suddenly The Shield jumps in and JUSTICE IS SERVED! Sheamus manages to get Ray back to the ring and hits White Noise, Sheamus is feeling it and set up for the Brogue Kick but Devon is in for the intercept. Double team on Sheamus and Ray tells Deavon to 'Get the TABLES!'. Orton down for the save but Anderson cuts him off. 3-D by the Brothers and that's all she wrote.
Run Time - about 20 min
TAG MATCH - Bobby Roode & Austin Aries vs. Rhodes Scholars
WHY - I would actually like to have made Roode and Aries vs. Kane and Bryan, but know people would like to see Kane vs. Abyss. So deciding to pit one 'cocky' team for another.
How it would play out - Typical tag match with plenty of show boating. Aries and Rhodes steal the match with some great technical wrestling. Back and forth until a miscommunication between Rhodes and Sandow leads to Aries scoring the pin.
Run Time - about 15 min
GRUDGE MATCH - Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk
WHY - History. If there is one feud that defined indie wrestling in the last decade, it could be this. Many still talk about it this day. It could easily be the show stealer of the PPV and give any who never experienced the original a chance to see one hell of a match. It would be set up with an interview with Punk asking if he will be at the PPV. Punk's reply is that 'there is only one man in that company worthy of facing him. One man who pushed him to his limit more than any other. So how about it; PUNK/JOE 4!'.
How it would play out - A wrestling clinic with both men leaving everything they have in the ring. After a couple early attempts by each man to nail their respective finishers only for the other to slither out, we would be treated to a swift paced match featuring classic wrestling. A few high spots would see Joe fly over the ropes only for Punk to side step. Punk sets Joe up on the announce table and flies off the top turnbuckle with an elbow. Joe makes it back in but he's hurting as Punk stays in control until Joe catches him the charging knee in the corner with an STO. A little back and forth before Joe surprise Punk with the Rear Naked Choke. Punk close to tapping but manages to roll over and out. Both pop up and Punk quickly with the GTS but doesn't have the footing and Joe crashes onto Punk for a 2 count. Joe in control and sets up for the Muscle Buster but Punk counters. Diving cross body and roll through into the Anaconda Vice. Joe ready to tap but manages to work his way out. Both men in the corner, Joe staggers Punk and climbs up the ropes only for Punk to catch him. Punk calls for the Pepsi Plunge. Joe throws Punk down and hit's a senton, but only gets the 2. Shots by both but Punk catches Joe with a buzz saw kick laying Joe out. Punk up on the turn buck and calls for the Savage Elbow but Joe pops up and catches Punk in the Muscle Buster and nails it for the 3 count.
Run Time - 40 min
KNOCKOUTS vs. DIVAS LUMBERJILL MATCH -
Velvet Sky vs. Kaitlyn
WHY - An easy way to feature the Knockouts and Divas.
How it will play out - The 2 women will lay into each other with Sky getting the upper hand until Kaitlyn uses her power toss her out into the Divas. After a little ganging up the Knockouts manage to get Sky back in. Kaitlyn with the uper hand until Sky tosses her out to the Knockouts. Knockouts get some shots in til the Divas break it up. Sky and Kaitlyn both in going back and forth. Sky tries to toss Kaitlyn again but Kaitlyn drags Sky with her. All the Knockouts and Divas get in on the action as the match is tossed out.
Run Time - about 8-10 min
FEATURE MATCH - Sting vs. Undertaker
WHY - Because it's every fan boys dream even if 10 years late.
How it would play out - experience of how to put on a show. A very back and forth match with both men dishes out the best that they have left. Highlights would see it starting out with Sting chopping Taker only for him to shrug them off. Taker throws bombs to Sting only for him to do the infamous chest pound. After some back and forth Sting lands the Stinger Splash, but on a second attempt Taker catches him with a Choke Slam only to get a 2 count. Taker goes for Old School only to see Sting drop him into the Scorpion Deathlock. Taker easily reaches the ropes but gets up into a Scorpion Death Drop. Near fall kick out by Taker. Surprise Hell's Gate by Taker only to see Sting reach the ropes. Taker in the corner as we see Sting go for another Stinger Splash. Taker catches him setting up for the Last Ride. Nails it, but instead of going for the cover does the throat cut and nails Sting with the Tombstone for the 1-2-3.
Run Time - about 25 min
20 MAN BATTLE ROYAL - AJ Styles, James Storm, Christopher Daniels, Kaz, Chris Sabin, Eric Young, Magnus, Jeff Hardy, Rob Van Dam, Mr. Anderson, Randy Orton, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Christian, Wade Barrett, Alberto Del Rio, Daniel Bryan, Antonio Cesaro, Brodus Clay, Chris Jericho
WHY - just the easy out on getting as many talents on the card as possible.
How it would play out - Match starts out with everyone jumping on Anderson and tossing him out. After that TNA stars partner off with WWE stars. Order of Elimination would be:
1) Anderson
2) Young
3) Cesaro
4) Kaz
5) Christian
6) Barrett
7) Clay
8) Daniels
9) Magnus
10) Miz
11) Sabin
12) Del Rio
13) Bryan
14) Hardy
15) Styles
16) Ziggler
17) Jericho
18) Orton
19) Storm
Winner - RVD
My original thought was have Storm win. But then thought, what if it was kept secret RVD was back with WWE? Have him turn at the PPV giving WWE the victory.
Run Time - about 25 min
MAIN EVENT - Kurt Angle vs. John Cena
WHY - Obviously John Cena is the face of WWE and would/should main event any such PPV. While I believe Styles is the face of TNA, let's face it, Kurt Angle would make the most credible opponent. Add to the fact they could play up how Cena's first match was against Angle and the story writes itself.
How it would play out - Power vs. Technique. Angle would bring the best out of Cena showing Cena can wrestle a match if he wants to. There would be no finisher - near pinfall - finisher - kickout - etc like we often see in Cena's big matches. Angle would get the Ankle Lock on 2 -3 times only for Cena to refuse to quit. Cena would go for the STF only for Angle to reverse out of it. In the end, Cena would go for the AA only to have Angle reverse it into crucifix pin giving TNA the stunning upset win.
Run Time - about 30 min
So I gave the overall win to TNA as they could use it more. Fallout sees RVD back in WWE. Angle beating Cena could set up a return as well. Perhaps some sort of talent exchange would come from such an endeavour. No real promos other than each companies next PPV and perhaps a short verbal exchange between Vince and Hogan through the show. I know it's not everyone's 'dream' card, but hard fitting everything into a 3hr PPV.

Christmas lunch preparations were thrown into turmoil for hundreds of families when a car crash cut power to 500 Katikati homes.
A three-car collision knocked out power in the Athenree, Tahawai and Tanners Point areas for several hours on Christmas Day.
Three vehicles travelling north, toward Auckland, were involved in a collision at Tuapiro Rd at 10.15am.
No one was seriously hurt but a female driver was taken to Tauranga Hospital to be checked.
Powerco said it was able to restore supply to most customers by 11.25am but around 50 customers remained powerless until the power pole was replaced.
Richard Fullerton-Smith, who called 111 after the crash outside his home, said he had been planning Christmas dinner for himself and his mother, sister and nephews when they lost power.
"We heard it bang here, then another one going bang, bang, bang, bang.
"I knew there must have been an accident," he said.
Mr Fullerton-Smith had been watching television when the power was cut. He said a petrol generator usually used for frost control helped keep power going for a short while "but it's really only enough to boil the jug".
"So I'm going to get some gas from my neighbours and get my barbecue bottle and cook all my veges on the barbecue in a big pot," he said.
Mr Fullerton-Smith said the power outage had put a dampener on the day.
"It's wrecked everybody's Christmas.
"All these poor people, it's wrecked that," Mr Fullerton-Smith said, referring to residents without power.
Western Bay of Plenty road policing Sergeant Wayne Hunter said a car waiting to turn right into Tuapiro Rd, north of Katikati, was hit hard by a car following it.
The driver of a campervan travelling behind the second vehicle was forced to brake and swerve to avoid the collision, Mr Hunter said.
The driver lost control of the campervan, which spun 180 degrees and left the road, crashing into a power pole.
Lines were down along the side of the road for at least an hour.
Emergency services monitored traffic while working to clear the road of the wreckage.
Mr Hunter said the traffic was surprisingly heavy for Christmas Day and it was fortunate the lines were not down across the highway.
"I've seen a lot of Christmas presents in these cars going past, so there's a lot of people going places for their Christmas," Mr Hunter said.
The driver of one vehicle had been travelling to Auckland to catch a 2pm flight to Australia, he said.
Another driver lived down Tuapiro Rd while the occupants of the campervan were visitors.
A fourth vehicle travelling south was clipped by one of the cars during the collision but was not badly damaged.

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD Charlie Burton topped the scales at the York & District Amalgamation of Anglers Junior Open on the River Ouse.
A field of 13 anglers contested the match at New Walk Terrace, with Burton netting a haul of 9lb 14oz.
A variety of baits and methods were used and all succeeded in enticing fish to the net in conditions ideal for fishing.
Pegged in the middle of the stretch on peg seven, Burton's catch included two bream and some eels on the feeder, winning him the Jeff Francis Shield and the Junior Champions Trophy.
Second place went to nine-year-old Archie Bond with a mixed bag of fish. His 3lb 15oz from peg two was caught mostly on the pole close in to the bank.

* Shepherd Angling Club kicked off their season with 11 members fishing the Ouse at Redhouse below the paddock.

I was told by several people that I was carrying way too many discs. I have to agree now because a couple weeks ago I pulled a muscle in my non throwing arm's shoulder from picking up my bag. So I did some trimming. Everything is max weight unless noted.

I went to my mother and father's house today to be around my nephews. My nephew was having a friend stay over as well. I went to the room where they were hanging out in. ( I forgot to mention that one is 6 and the other is 9.) I had left a nice amount of comics for them to delve into, but instead when I went in there they were playing my Nintendo 64. Not only were they playing Nintendo 64, they were playing multiplayer on 007 Goldeneye.
If there are other players out there who grew up playing games, you can remember Goldeneye was a golden age for us. I sat in there and watched them have the time o their lives playing a game I used to love. Just a weird gamers moment that happened that I wanted to share.
