GoPro to be new sponsor of summer Mountain Games
February 9, 2013
VAIL – A little more than two months after Teva announced it was out as the title sponsor of the summer Mountain Games in Vail, GoPro has taken the reins.
The Vail Valley Foundation and GoPro announced the partnership Feb. 9, calling it a "long-term" deal.
GoPro cameras have been popping up all over Vail over the past couple of years, on the helmets and chests of everyone from skiers to snowboarders to mountain bikers to kayakers. The cameras capture footage of all the high-adrenaline action sports that happen daily in the Vail Valley. Initial reaction to the new sponsorship on Feb. 9 was that it's a perfect match.
"Yep, perfect fit," Jeff Miller wrote on the Vail Daily's Facebook page.
Vail Valley Foundation President Ceil Folz said the foundation is excited to take an existing partnership with GoPro to a new level.
"The association between GoPro and the Mountain Games marks a tremendous alignment, as the Games' outdoor lifestyle and adventure sports provides an endless amount of robust content for GoPro to capture and share year-round with their global audience," Folz said in a statement released Feb. 9.

GoPro cameras are on sale in more than 100 countries around the world, according to the company. GoPro's HERO line features wearable and mountable cameras, with its latest HERO3 promotional commercial showcasing the camera's ability to capture everything from ocean swells from the viewpoint of a surfer to bird's eye views of mountain terrain from the helmet mount of a base-jumper.
Paul Crandell, vice president of marketing for GoPro, calls the sponsorship "a testament to the company's great partnership with the Vail Valley Foundation, and we look forward to working with them to bring the community of Vail and Colorado as a whole the best Mountain Games yet."
In November, the Denver Post reported that Teva president Joel Heath said Teva was increasing its marketing budget by 40 percent over the next three years, but most of that would be put toward athlete promotions.
The Mountain Games started in 2002 and Teva had been the title sponsor for 11 years. GoPro, however, has held a presence at the summer games in recent years. In 2010, GoPro featured footage of Eric Lawrenuk on his winning run in the mountain bike slopestyle at the Teva Mountain Games. In 2011, GoPro hosted a Teva Mountain Games video contest with a $1,000 prize. In 2012, GoPro made a commercial with its favorite submitted GoPro videos from the Winter Mountain Games. GoPro has a big presence at this weekend Winter Mountain Games, too.
"Not only are we seeing new events being added to the Mountain Games but we are enjoying the Vail Valley being exposed to an even larger international crowd via the Games, as well as a new and dynamic media landscape that has evolved through the event," Folz said. "GoPro brings the athlete's eye perspective to the event and they will obviously play an integral role in helping us bring the story of the Mountain Games to an even larger global audience."

When your tires are pumped to their recommended inflation rate, you save gas. This helps wildlife because the more gas we conserve as a country, the less likely we will drill in wildlife-rich places, such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
According to the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, American motorists may waste $2 billion annually because their tires are not properly inflated. If your tires are pumped to even four or five pounds per square inch lower than recommended levels, it increases your gas usage by 10%.
Find out your recommended tire pressure in your owner's manual or on the sticker that's found on most cars near the driver's seat (visible when you open your car door). Many gas station air pumps automatically tell your air pressure as part of the pumping process. You can also get a tire gauge for a few dollars to check the pressure at home.

Estromineral Serena Plus and Symptomatic Menopause

- How to Read a Study Record
Oestrogen hormone deficiency in menopause leads to symptoms of which hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia and mood changes are the most frequent and, ultimately, worsen the quality of life. The gradual decline of oestrogen from peri-menopause results in altered function of many neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, melatonin and neuropeptides including beta-endorphins, which modulate the function of the hypothalamus and are involved in body thermoregulation.
In post-menopause, dopaminergic activity is significantly reduced and stimulus of the D2 receptors is effective in relieving hot flushes and in reducing the accompanying psychological symptoms.
The use of hormone replacement therapy, which is generally prescribed in the case of moderate or severe symptoms, is limited due to real contraindications or simply the woman's refusal to take the therapy, despite the presence of symptoms requiring its use.
A food supplement, named Estromineral (E), based on natural ingredients such as isoflavones, the absorption of which is increased by the presence of Lactobacillus sporogenes, and Vitamin D3 and calcium, strengthening bone mineralization, has been found to be effective at reducing vasomotor symptoms.
To potentiate the effect of E on the most frequent symptoms in menopause, it was considered rational to add the extracts of magnolia, active on psycho-affective symptoms, and chaste tree, acting on both hot flushes and psychological symptoms and a new food supplement was developed: Estromineral Serena Plus (ESP).
Estromineral Serena Plus is an association of isoflavones with added Lactobacillus, chaste tree and magnolia, active on menopausal vasomotor symptoms and on psycho-affective symptoms.

There is no way I'm going to sleep a wink tonight !!
I'll be on an adrenaline high for two weeks !!!!!
I almost cried that was so beautiful ...
Why Not Us ?
I am going to fail all my exams for the next two weeks
I have a feeling you are used to saying that, Just Kidding.
HOLY SHi* COLTS ARE GOING TO SUPER BOWL WOHOOOO THANK U THANK U
This is amazing.
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
I too did not believe. I wanted too, but could not. Hell, even during this game the team showed all of the signs of coughing up victory into the hands of the enemy.
But that doesn't matter now.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
I still don't believe 100%. Not until we win the whole damn thing. But it was still fun not only winning, but how we won and who we beat. This is reminiscent of the Pacers finally beating the Knicks in 2000 to get to the Finals.
At this point, we look to be the heavy favorites, which worries me.
I just read the game thread almost all the way through...I think some of you need to look in the mirror and ask yourselves " Am I a true Colts fan or just a bandwagon fan?"
Man, to think that I almost didn't pull the trigger on buying a ticket. But then I did.
I went to both Pacers wins over the Lakers in 2000, and especially after the game 5 blowout it was amazing. But this was the greatest sporting event I've ever been to.
What a freaking game!
Also, it was loud to start with and I've been to other loud games, but for that final Pats drive it was insanely loud. Ear bleeding loud.
Yes, that.... well that was just loud. Insane.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
IF IF IF IF IF IF IF the Colts win...then it will only take a Pacers championship and then I can die. IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF the Colts win.....
Thank you Colts. You've put a permanent smile on my face for at least the next two weeks, and that's awfully hard to do.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
I don't think I've ever screamed that much in my entire life. It was such a great feeling to win!!!
But we have one more left. It's not complete unless we win!
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Reading your guys posts takes me back to 04-05 when the Eagles finally got over the hump. Congrats. I was pulling for the Colts cause i hate the Pats and I think Peyton deserves to atleast get to the SB. Ill be rooting for the Colts in the SB too just because they play in the same town as the Pacers.
My neighbours complained that I was to loud yelling at 3 AM in the morning
who cares
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!

Yeah, I'm lucky the neighbors didn't call the cops on me for disturbing the peace. I literally ran threw the street yelling. I absolutely can't believe it. There's no way....I'm so geeked...so geeked that I'm using the word "geeked." Wow...just wow.
One more game!
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
So I went outside and started screaming....I'm sure all my neighbors loved that!
We never saw Jackson's feet hit the ground. As soon as the ball hit his hands, we were on a pile on the living room floor.
Know what that reminded me of? The euphoria after Reggie hit a game winning trey. The magic is back in Indy sports.

|It's World Bread Day, and here are some suggestions about choosing bread for the South Beach Diet.
World Bread Day, and I did bake the bread you see in the picture above. I confess I made it in my favorite Oster Bread Machine, using a mix, but I'm guessing some of you are surprised that I make bread at all. After all, you can't eat bread on the South Beach Diet can you?
If you're doing the South Beach Diet, you should also think about what else you'll be eating that day before you reach for the bread. It's not overly complicated, but there are a few things to remember. This post will share a few things I've learned.
Check the label to see what type of flour is used before you buy any type of bread if you're doing South Beach. Be sure it says "100% whole wheat" or "100% whole grain." Be careful that it doesn't say "wheat flour" instead of "whole wheat flour." Other grains in addition to wheat are great if you like that type of bread. There's also a type of flour called white whole wheat, made from a variety of wheat which is lighter in color, which is good, but not often used in commerially produced bread. I've heard that white whole wheat can be used just like white flour in baked goods, but haven't really experimented with it yet.
Bread needs some sugar, honey, or molasses to make the yeast grow, but if you're on South Beach you want to choose bread with the absolute minimum amount of sweetener. Usually bread with molasses will have the least sugar carbs, but there are some good choices that use a very small amount of honey too. Be very careful not to get bread with high fructose corn syrup, which seems to find its way into a lot of supposedly healthy products.
Bread isn't permitted for phase one of South Beach, which many people consider to be the hardest part of the diet. Actually I found that when you start re-introducing higher-carb foods into your diet, after you've completed phase one, monitoring how many carbs you're eating can be more challenging than avoiding them altogether. South Beach doesn't encourage counting carbs, one thing that sold me on the diet. Instead, you monitor your carb intake by gradually adding back higher-carb foods and keeping track of whether you're still losing weight (phase two) or maintaining your weight (phase three). If you're eating bread that day, you may have to forego things like low-glycemic rice, low carb pasta, and higher carb veggies like sweet potatoes. Probably the best choice for either phase two or phase three of the diet is a balance of foods, with different choices every day.
Below is the ingredient and nutritional information from the bread mix and the commercial brands of bread I buy. These breads may not be available where you live, but you can learn what to look for on the label. I also eat a lot of 100% whole wheat pita bread, which I sometimes toast in the oven to make crisp pita chips. I don't eat bread every day, so I keep it in the freezer.
This is the mix I used to make the bread shown above. It has sunflower seeds in the bread, which I love. This bread actually has more sweetener, hence more carbs, than either of the two commerial breads below, but it's still pretty good for South Beach. Note that the serving size is for 1/2 inch slice, which is thicker than the two purchased breads. It's a fairly dense, heavy bread, with a good flavor. I've served this bread many times for guests and everyone has always raved about it. When my grocery store stopped carrying it, I found out you can order it online. (The company also makes a low carb bread mix, which I'm planning to try.)
This is the lowest carb count I've seen on bread, with only 6 net carbs per slice. (Carbs minus fiber equals net carbs.) The bread does have fructose and molasses both, but in very small amounts, since there's less than 1 gram of sugar per slice. The slices are small and fairly thin, which obviously reduces the amount of carbs. I like this bread, but in my opinion it's not as tasty as either of the other two brands I buy. I do like that it has three grams of fiber per slice, if that's important to you.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to find out how many children who are infected with HIV are also infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV).
HCV infection is a major health concern. HIV-infected adults who are co-infected with HCV appear to have more rapid HIV disease progression. There is little data on how widespread HCV is among children who are HIV-infected. Information from this study will help determine the need for future HCV studies. This study also will obtain blood samples for future testing for other hepatitis viruses such as hepatitis G virus (HGV or GB virus C).
|HIV Infections Hepatitis C
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Hepatitis C Prevalence in Perinatally Infected HIV-Positive Children Enrolled in PACTG 219C
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2003
HCV infection is a major public health concern with worldwide seroprevalence estimated at 1 percent. HIV-infected adults co-infected with HCV appear to have accelerated HIV disease progression. There is little data on HCV prevalence in the pediatric HIV-infected population. This substudy will provide estimates of HCV prevalence among HIV-infected children and determine the need for future HCV natural history and treatment protocols. In addition, this substudy will archive samples from patients for future testing for other hepatitis viruses such as hepatitis G virus (HGV or GB virus C).
Patients participating in PACTG 219C are selected randomly to enroll into PACTG P1028S. Patients who agree to participate have a single blood draw for HCV antibody (Enzyme Immunoassay-EIA) testing and HCV RNA (Polymerase Chain Reaction-PCR) testing. An additional blood draw is necessary in the case of discordant results between the HCV EIA and HCV PCR. HCV-negative patients have 1 study visit. Patients with positive HCV test results have 2 visits. Patients with discordant HCV test results have 2 or 3 visits.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|1 Year to 20 Years (Child, Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria
Patients may be eligible for this substudy if they:
- Are between 1 year and 20 years of age.
- Were infected with HIV from the mother at or around the time of birth.
- Are enrolled in PACTG 219C.
- Children known to be HCV-infected will be permitted to enter the substudy.
Exclusion Criteria
Patients may not be eligible for this substudy if they:
- Have hemophilia.
- Contracted HIV through a route other than from the mother around the time of birth.

Rumors online are saying that Dell has held talks with two private-equity firms about potentially taking the company private! The thought of Dell becoming a privately held company has caused investors to get excited and the company's stock is up more than 15% since the rumors have come out. The rumor mill says that talks between Dell and private-equity firms have been going on for the last two to three months. Dell has declined to comment on the rumors, but who knows! The Wall Street Journal reported that Dell has recently held talks with buyout firms Silver Lake Partners and TPG about going private.
Two years after Michael Dell said he had considered taking his personal-computer company private, Dell is reportedly in preliminary talks with two firms about going private, Bloomberg News reported yesterday, citing two people familiar with the matter. It added that no deal may happen as the firms might not be able to line up the financing needed or "resolve how to exist the investment in the future."

Minor dealing with confidence in Braves' camp
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- As Braves left-hander Mike Minor progresses through the early stages of Spring Training, he is fueled by the confidence he gained when proving to be one of baseball's best pitchers during the second half of the 2012 season.
"It's more of mindset than pitchability or location of pitches or anything like that," Minor said. "It's more of just recognizing situations and learning from it, rather than just being [mad] and thinking it's going to happen every game. Or as soon as something goes wrong, it's going to be a bad outing. That used to be in the back of my mind."
Minor displayed his maturation when he was unfazed by the one-out walk he issued to Torii Hunter in the first inning of Sunday's 6-1 win over the Tigers at Champion Stadium. The walk and Hernan Perez's third-inning single proved to be the only damage incurred by the 25-year-old lefty during his three innings of work.
"I don't think he missed the target today," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I know the second batter of the game, he walked. But other than that, he had all of his pitches working."
Minor was sharper than he was on Tuesday, when he issued a pair of first-inning walks and allowed two runs in his Grapefruit League debut against the Nationals. He recorded three strikeouts against the Tigers and six fly-ball outs.
"They hit a couple good balls to the outfield," Minor said. "But they were caught and they were outs. That's what happens when you put the ball in play rather than walking everybody."
As he compiled a 6.20 ERA through his first 15 starts last year, Minor lacked the confidence to be aggressive in the strike zone. But his mindset changed as he posted a 2.21 ERA in his last 15 starts of the season.

Entering second full year, Doubront eager for first start
NEW YORK -- Just like a year ago, Felix Doubront will make his first start of the season at Toronto. The difference is that he now has a full season of experience under his belt.
Doubront will open a three-game series for the Sox on Friday night at Rogers Centre.
"I think I'm more and more calm, with more experience," Doubront said. "Like I said, more experience is the big thing with me. I'm more relaxed."
He also has felt an instant connection with new pitching coach Juan Nieves.
"He said to throw strikes and watch the glove," Doubront said. "And in meetings, he helps you on what pitches the hitter likes and doesn't like. He's that kind of guy who helps you on that. We're working a lot on tempo."
You will also notice that Doubront is wearing a much more conventional number this season. He switched from 61 to 22.
"When I played Little League in Venezuela, that was my number," Doubront said. "My mom always told me, 'You have to get 22.' You never get 22 in pro baseball. In Greenville in '07, they gave me 22. I did wear it in '08. I always liked it. It was my first number. I told them last year I liked 22, so [the clubhouse attendant] called me last year at the end of the year and told me, 'We got 22.'"
As for Doubront's pitching numbers, he was 11-10 with a 4.86 ERA in 2012.
"The main goal is throw less pitches, go out there with a better approach and get quick outs and go deep in the game and throw less than a 100 pitches in the seventh," Doubront said. "It's going to be a challenge, and I've been working on that and I think it's going to be fine."

...I'm probably doing it wrong and killing my feet!
When I move back onto my heels the pain is pretty bad and I can only hold it for around 20 seconds. It also seems that that part of the foot around the big toe seems to be taking the brunt of it so I wonder whether I'm placing the toes/feet right.
Any stretching exercises I can do for more supple feet so I can hold this position for longer?

I recently tried out a biwiring vs single wiring comparison and came to the conclusion that on the whole single wiring provided the best sound for my speakers (Q Acoustics Concept 20s). It was a revelation actually, because for a lot of years I had simply accepted that biwring had to be the best way to wire speakers with seperate posts on the speakers....otherwise why were they there? Never thought it was just a 'trend'. Anyhow, I found myself thinking about the single wire way with bi-wireable speakers the other day and read about replacing the cheap jumpers / bridging bars that come with biwirable speakers. First I just made up a set of bridging cables using the same speaker cable I used for the main runs but then I read a Nordost pdf with instuctions for diagonal wiring. So I wired them as in the diagram (see link). However, I also found that Audioquest also provide instructions except that they do it a slightly different way. Furthermore, Audioquest state that (if you're not biwiring):
For 2-way speakers, be sure to put the red connector to treble + and black connector to bass -. This is the only way to preserve the tonal voice the speaker designer intended
This is the opposite way to the Norost method...in reverse. So are Audioquest right? Is there a right and wrong way to wire diagonally? Would it really make a difference whether the + and - are connected to HF or LF terminals?
Also, if the cables you use are marked as 'directional' would it matter that you didn't reverse them for such a short run...eg for use as bridging cables. The Audioquest cables I am using are marked as directional. However, I would have to split the sheath around the four internal 14awg wires to reverse two of them. Would removing the outer jacket for use as bridging wires affect anything?

Fylde director of rugby Mark Nelson was pleased with his side's performance last weekend but thinks they can still raise their game.
He said: "This was a good performance against useful opponents - no one should underestimate the Bees.
"The importance of this result, with the four try bonus point, is underlined by Caldy's defeat at Macclesfield.
"We did drift away in the second half. We have to show rather more hunger to finish off opponents and, in particular, clear out the rucks more effectively. We must raise our game a couple of levels.
"I feel that we are developing as a quality side. The introduction of new prop Ross Davies indicates the level of competition for starting places in the squad.
"Darren Clark will be available for our next game at Preston and Nick Royle should soon be fit again.
"My main challenge now is man management, accommodating the very good players we have.
"There is a really good feeling around the Woodlands now. When I looked around the dressing room before the game on Saturday I realised the talent we have."

South Florida man charged with illegal buttocks injections
WEST PALM BEACH — A South Florida man accused of injecting silicone into patients' buttocks faces charges after two former patients ended up in the hospital. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office reports that 44-year-old Calvin Butler, also known as Tamieka Butler, was working out of a room at the El Patio Motel in West Palm Beach. One woman told deputies in December that Butler charged her $200 each for four visits this past fall. Around the same time, deputies talked to a man who said he had been paying Butler $100 a week for injections from June to October. The Palm Beach Post (http://bit.ly/UVSqDG ) reports that doctors had to remove part of the man's buttocks. Butler was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of practicing medicine without a license. He was later freed on $15,000 bail.

"We played well in a lot of spurts, and I thought we really established that we could share the ball offensively," Ball State coach Billy Taylor said in a release. "We had really good ball movement; we played very unselfish, and that ended up being the key thing that put us over the top at the end with the drive by Jesse and the unselfish play to find Majok under the rim for the dunk."
Ball State made 12 treys on the night with the duo of Berry and Jauwan Scaife knocking down five each and combining to shoot 10-for-15 from beyond the arc.
The Cardinals went cold for a period in the second half as Norfolk State (6-10) went on a 20-3 run to grab a 55-50 lead with four minutes to play. But Scaife and Tyler Koch hit 3s on Ball State's next two possessions, cutting the lead to 57-56.
Norfolk State pushed its advantage back to 59-56 before Ball State scored four straight points on free throws from Berry and Chris Bond to grab a 60-59 lead. Norfolk State then got four looks at the basket in the final 40 seconds before Rob Johnson was fouled with six seconds remaining. Johnson hit both free throws to put the Spartans back ahead 62-61.
Berry took the inbounds pass and raced up the court heavily defended. He managed to get into the lane and passed off to a cutting Majok, who threw down a thunderous dunk just before the buzzer sounded. The officials reviewed the play and confirmed Majok scored before time expired.
"When I caught the ball, I was really just thinking about getting it up the floor to give us a chance at a shot," Berry said. "When I passed half court, I saw that I could get in the paint. When I got in the paint, I found Majok on the left and he finished big time."
Berry scored a game-high 21 points, topping the 20-point mark for the fourth time this season and the third time in the past four games. Scaife, who scored 21 points in Ball State's most recent game against IUPUI, finished with 18.
Johnson led four double-figure scorers for Norfolk State with 16 points, followed by Malcolm Hawkins with 15, Pendarvis Williams with 14 and Kievyn Lila-St. Rose with 11. But the other eight Spartans who played combined for just five points.
"I liked our defense for the majority of the game," Taylor said. "I thought we really played tough half-court defense, but then we started to trade baskets with them a little bit in the second half. We still have to understand how to put a team away when we have them down 10 or 12 points.
But I'm proud of our guys for the character they showed and fighting through some adversity. We made some big shots that helped us get that victory."
Ball State's 12 3-pointers were the most for the Cardinals since they knocked down 14 in a game at Eastern Michigan in March 2006.
Scaife, Berry and Marcus Posley handed out four assists each for a Ball State team that had 15 assists on 21 made baskets and turned the ball over just 12 times against a long Norfolk State defense. Bond led the way on the boards with nine rebounds and Majok added eight.
The Cardinals will travel to Eastern Michigan to open MAC play on Jan. 9.

Is Triumph a Loser?
According to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, John Drosdick, a director of Triumph Group (TGI), bought 5,000 shares of the stock on Feb. 4 at an average price of $69.21 apiece. Drosdick now owns 10,000 shares of Triumph, a $3.5 billion market cap company that designs and manufactures aircraft parts and components. This purchase doubles the number of shares Drosdick owns directly. He had previously bought shares in November 2012 at prices of about $64 per share. Insider purchases are often considered bullish signals for a stock because the insider is choosing to increase exposure to the company rather than diversify investments.
At the end of January, Triumph released fiscal third-quarter results. Revenue rose 8% from the same period in 2011, thanks to sales increases in all three of the company's segments. Cost of goods sold has been higher, but net income still increased 14% as margins expanded slightly. This brought earnings per share for the quarter to $1.51, roughly what Triumph earned per quarter in the first half of its fiscal year....375 more words left in this article.

Today's guest blogger is IMA Docent, Nancy McMillan.
As a life-long resident of Indiana, I have been visiting Brown County since I was 10 years old. In spite of that, I had never heard of Onya La Tour. So, when I learned that the IMA would have an exhibition of works of art from her collection, and that she was a some-time Brown County resident, I jumped at the chance to learn more about her and her passion for collecting Modernist art.
Brown County has always had a magical allure for me. As a child, I thought nothing could be greater than living there—in a log cabin, perhaps, on acres and acres of land. My new-found friend, Onya La Tour, bought a farm—118 acres—and an old house in southeastern Brown County in 1939. She settled there—not far from the iconic Stone Head sculpture—in 1940. Intending to establish the Indiana Museum of Modern Art, way down there on Christiansburg Road, Onya moved in and attempted to create not only a museum but also an artists' residence. She lived there about seven years before moving to a hilltop home just north of the north entrance to Brown County State Park. (The Indiana Museum of Modern Art didn't really take off.)
From the house on the hill, she had a wonderful view of the north entrance to the Park. There, she entertained various artists and other luminaries. They climbed the hill to her house—near dusk—where they shared artistic stories and ambitions and admired the sweeping views of the valley at sunset. What a magical time they had!
Onya's art-collecting began in the early 1930s. By that time, she had moved from her home in Washington County, Indiana; relocated to the Pacific Northwest with her then-husband, where she gave birth to her only daughter, Manya; moved on to California then Puerto Rico; and finally arrived in New York City, where she hobnobbed with the artists of the Works Progress Administration and operated art galleries of her own. How interesting, eclectic, and eccentric she was.
Her move back to Indiana was not by chance. She was looking for a place where she could bring modernist art to a population that didn't know about it. At that time, of course, Brown County hosted an active artists' colony. It had served as the home to some members of the Hoosier Group—wonderful representational artists like T.C. Steele. There was a rich artistic tradition there, but Onya had other ideas: why not expose Brown County and Indiana to a new artistic experience—modernism? At first, the locals were skeptical, but they came to embrace Onya, her dedication to modernist artists and her desire to bring something new to Brown County.
As an IMA docent, I am always dedicated to studying and learning as much as I can about the artists whose works the IMA exhibits; however, Onya La Tour provided me, and my fellow docents, Susanne Morreale and Ieva Straatman, an opportunity to do a "road trip"—we traveled to Brown County and located the farmhouse that Onya purchased in 1939. In person, it looked exactly the same as it does in photos from the era when Onya was there trying to establish the Indiana Museum of Modern Art. We knocked on the door of the house, hoping to encounter the current residents, but no one was home. Then we traveled north, closer to Nashville, to the hilltop where Onya moved in the late 1940s—her home known as "Spellbound." We climbed the steep hill—in the car—and there, we found a house. But it did not at all resemble the "Spellbound" home we saw in Onya's photos. Apparently, there had also been an art gallery on the hill that Onya called "Bluecloud," but we found no evidence of that structure either.
Shortly thereafter, we went into Nashville, and visited both the Brown County Historical Society and the Brown County Public Library. The library was of great interest—we found a couple of conference rooms that a bequest from Onya's estate paid for. Her name was on a plaque, announcing that she had funded the rooms. In addition, over the fireplace mantle in one of the rooms, we located a painting—signed "Alva La Toor." Alva La Toor? Now that's a coincidence—La Tour, La Toor? Apparently, frère La Toor decided to spell his name differently from his sister's.
What a fun treasure hunt this has been! Onya La Tour and her art collection are quite a story.
Nancy McMillan and fellow docents will be giving public tours of The Onya La Tour Collection: Modernism in Indiana on December 26, January 10, February 24, March 14 and April 11.

First Positive Mosquito Pool Confirmed in Fairfax County
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065

First Positive Mosquito Pool Confirmed in Fairfax County
Gloria Addo-Ayensu, M.D., director of the Fairfax County Health Department, announced today that the state lab in Richmond has confirmed the first positive mosquito pool from Fairfax County. The sample, collected in the Chantilly area, was submitted to the lab on July 29 and is the 341st mosquito sample submitted by the county this year. In addition to this mosquito pool, 10 birds collected from different locations around the county have tested positive for the West Nile virus, indicating that the disease is not confined to any specific area. There have been no human cases of West Nile virus recorded in Fairfax County this year.
Fairfax County actively began mosquito management initiatives for this season in April when crews traveled throughout the county treating potential mosquito breeding areas with a larvicide. In May, a storm drain treatment initiative began and over 66,000 catch basins were treated with a larvicide specific for mosquitoes. A second round of storm drain treatments began in late July and was concluded Aug. 7. A very aggressive mosquito surveillance effort throughout the county is allowing the health department to identify potential areas where the mosquitoes may be infected with the virus. Routine inspections to problematic breeding places are also being conducted to continue to suppress the mosquito population.
"We are now seeing an increase in West Nile virus activity, which means people are at an increased risk of being bitten by an infected mosquito," said Dr. Addo-Ayensu. People should protect themselves from mosquito bites by making sure window and door screens are in good repair, wearing long, loose and light-colored clothing outdoors and using insect repellent containing DEET in accordance with the product instructions.
To further reduce the chances of being bitten, residents should eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites in their yard. "Eliminate standing water by tipping containers and tossing water that has gathered in items like tires, tarps and other containers," Dr. Jorge Arias, Fairfax County environmental health entomologist, said. Arias also encourages residents to change the water in birdbaths and wading pools at least once a week and clean roof gutters and downspout screens regularly.
For more information on West Nile virus, log onto the Health
Department's page on the Fairfax County Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/FightTheBite.

TROUBLEMAKERS in Rayleigh will soon find themselves barred from every pub, bar and club in town.
Landlords, from all 10 of the town centre's licensed premises, are launching their own Pubwatch Scheme, which will allow them to share information and prevent disorder and violence.
Adam Crane, landlord of the Travellers Joy pub and member of the new committee, is keen.
He said: "There are more premises in Rayleigh than there were 12 months ago. The town is getting busier with people eating, drinking and socialising.
"We are putting this scheme in place to try to make Rayleigh a safer place for everybody.
"If there is trouble of any sort, those responsible will be dealt with and barred from not just those premises, but all premises in Rayleigh."
Each venue will be given radios to warn each other of troublemakers as part of the scheme, based on the town link system already operating in Southend.
The move comes after nightclub Linx opened in High Street in May and Towie star Ricky Rayment opened Bar Blanco in Eastwood Road at the end of November.

It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
Apparently a three-point shooting contest has overtaken this playoff game.
Granger takes the worst shots
Granted I'm overall pleased with Hibbert's game tonight, I wish he played as hard as Big Baby.
Not gonna get in an argument but he has at least one steal, has dove for some loose balls and has been active. Not saying he's playing great or anything but some of you need to chill
ffs wat are u doing
take PG off please he has been terrible
Can we just get this series over with?
Getting tired of watching all of these 15-20 point leads evaporate. All I can think about is Lebron and co. toying with us since we're not able to keep our foot on the pedal.
"I have never taken the high road, but I tell other people to cause then theres more room for me on the low road."
the Pacers have to hold the record for quickest lead blown, lol
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
What the heck was that between Barbosa and Turkoglu?
another game...same story
smh @ not being able to keep a damn double digit lead
It's never ending.
"I have never taken the high road, but I tell other people to cause then theres more room for me on the low road."
How's it they always interview Orlando players at halftime even when we're up? Come on nbatv
I missed it. Was it friendly? They played together in Phoenix.
"I have never taken the high road, but I tell other people to cause then theres more room for me on the low road."
I was wondering the same thing. Of course Quentin Richardson had to butt in too....

Hallo to all of you Dhamma practitioners. I salute you.
Im here in hope to get moralized/energised/inspired to set on the Dhammic journey I once walked and got distracted from. My Dhammic raft got hit by a tunder storm and I fell off of it into the mundain current of the worldly river carried down the stream with so many others of our kin, drowning in ignorance and greed.
Practiced daily Shamatha-Vipassana for 3 Years. Couple 3 days solo retreats.
Everything went "fine" (for whom) until my Dhammic raft hit the turbulent waters of the Dukkha Nanas and turned the blissful clouds of Arising'n'Passing into the Darkest Night.
Red books: everything from Ingram to Brahm, Bhikkhu Bodhi to Thanissaro Bhikkhu and Gunaratana.
Thank you for having me here. May we all benefit from the Dhamma

Bill Graham
Concert promoter and artist manager Bill Graham forever changed the way rock and roll is presented.
He provided the business and organizational acumen that allowed the anarchic San Francisco scene of the mid-to-late Sixties to flower in venues such as the Fillmore, a dilapidated auditorium that Graham transformed into a tightly run concert hall beginning in late 1966. There, Graham booked such mainstays of the psychedelic era as the Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company and Quicksilver Messenger Service. In 1968, Graham moved the Fillmore into another old dance hall (the Carousel Ballroom, rechristened Fillmore West) and opened the Fillmore East in New York. Subsequently, he took over Winterland, another San Francisco concert venue, and branched into band management and tour promotion. A high percentage of the most significant pop-music events in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties were produced under the banner "Bill Graham Presents." Among other things, Graham brought a new standard of professionalism to the business.
Graham was born Wolodia Grajonca on January 8, 1931, in Berlin. He was given the nickname Wolfgang as a child. He literally walked across Europe to escape the Nazis, and he was raised in New York by foster parents. He then moved to San Francisco in the mid-Fifties to pursue an acting career. Instead, events conspired to thrust him into his calling as a concert impresario and business manager. Several fundraisers for the San Francisco Mime Troupe, a political comedy group he managed, were wildly successful due in large part to the Jefferson Airplane. Graham grasped the potential: something electrifying was beginning to happen in San Francisco, and the scene lacked only a focused, business-oriented mind to harness its power.
A tireless worker known for his gruff exterior and unsullied idealism, Graham challenged the rock audience by booking bills that mingled jazz, blues and folk artists in with all of the psychedelic rock bands of the day. One might walk into the Fillmore and find Miles Davis sharing a bill with Neil Young or the Staple Singers opening for Steppenwolf. His broad, generous view of music and the public's ability to appreciate it stands in marked contrast to the narrowcasting that would subdivide the rock and roll audience, to its lasting detriment, in the Eighties and beyond. After closing the Fillmores in 1971, Graham continued to run Winterland (site of the Band's farewell concert, "The Last Waltz," in 1978), while managing acts like Santana and the Neville Brothers, promoting national tours for Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and others.
He also began to present ever-larger events on both coasts, including the Watkins Glen Festival, which drew some 600,000 people and featured the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band and the Band. He also presented many landmark benefit concerts, including Live Aid in 1985 and two Amnesty International tours, the Conspiracy of Hope and Human Rights Now! He was also the driving force behind the 1987 Soviet-American Peace Concert in Moscow.
Graham also had his dream of becoming an actor come true. He appeared in Apocalypse Now, Bugsy and The Doors.
Bill Graham died on October 25, 1991, when a helicopter in which he was a passenger crashed into an electrical tower as he was leaving a concert.

Topic: Butch is going on hospice
Hospice is coming his morning to set up. I am very, very sad, but at peace with the decision, and glad for the relief they will be able to give him. he is SO weak, and unable to eat properly, but he is not in much pain, Thank the Lord. The pain meds help him when the pain starts, and mentally he is less confused then he was when we were in Pittsburgh - actually, I am confused a bit of the time myself lately! It all seems sort of unreal. He fought so hard, and the operation has taken too much out of him. He says he couldn't have made a different decision, with the options that we had, and, barring our miracle happening, has accepted what is happening. One of the things that is giving me peace is that I sent the letter to Lainy, and am waiting anxiously for them to be submitted to Oprah - I am so hopeful that something will come out of all this - more public awaremess, research, etc. This cancer is an unbelievable monster, and we must help to stamp it out.

Our mission is to provide safe loving, rehabilitation and sanctuary to pets who become homeless due to abandonment, abuse, neglect or surrender, until they find their forever homes. To educate the community on spay/neuter/microchipping and the importance of understanding the emotional needs of animals.
How it all started
After 9/11 our troops were quickly deployed with many having to leave their pets behind. The significance of this is that Fallbrook is situated on the east side of U.S. Marine Corps. Camp Pendleton.
Janet LuCore saw the immediate need to have a safe place for these pets and took action; she opened her door and her heart and Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary was born.
Because of Janet, nearly 4,000 pets have been re-homed. Because of her efforts, many pets have been re-united with their families. And because of Janet, any animals that come to Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary will ALWAYS have a loving home because of her No-Kill policy. Until the right family comes along, these pets will be loved and cared for by Janet and her compassionate volunteers and fosters. At Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary there are no "un-adoptables".
She's proven that one person can make a difference, and what a difference she has made.
We do, on occasion, have mobile adoption events so please be sure to check out the Events Page of our website or on our Facebook page. .
Standard adoption fee for dogs and puppies is $200. Purebred and designer dogs, prices vary.
All adoptions include: spay or neuter, current shots, microchip, a well check before they go home. They will receive a deworming and flea treatment at their well check.
Whenever you adopt, your new friend will not be released until it has gone through the well check appointment. Dogs also include a home check before they are released.
Viewing and adoptions are held every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sanctuary. In addition, we do have mobile adoption events, so please be sure to check out the Events Page of our website or Facebook page.
Contracts must be signed by an adult (18 or older). Call (760) 685-3533 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more info. If email, leave phone number for follow up call.
We are run by an all-volunteer staff so there may be a delay in responding to your inquiry. We appreciate your understanding.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Coco Rocha and Hilary Rhoda both hung out in NYC, while Emma Roberts kicked it — in a cool '90s grunge look — at Coachella. Emmy Rossum got to "play dress-up" in Jenny Packham's glamorous gowns, and Miranda Kerr posed with a pair of very lucky pilots after a flight to Australia on Qantas Airways.

Braves get Gattis back into lineup in left field
SAN FRANCISCO -- After giving Evan Gattis a chance to reacquaint himself with playing the outfield during this week's series in Cincinnati, the Braves had no reservations about putting the big rookie catcher back in left field for Saturday afternoon's game against the Giants.
"I think he's very instinctive," Braves bench coach Carlos Tosca said. "Somebody asked me the other day, 'Is this a catcher playing left field.' I said, 'No, he's an athletic guy playing left field, who happens to be able to catch.'"
Tosca, who served as the Braves' manager while Fredi Gonzalez attended his daughter's college graduation Saturday, has been one of Gattis' biggest supporters since first seeing the slugger's powerful swing in Spring Training last year.
Gattis achieved immediate success at the Major League level while serving as Atlanta's starting catcher throughout most of April. But now that six-time All-Star catcher Brian McCann has returned from offseason shoulder surgery, the Braves are attempting to find ways to continue benefitting from Gattis' offensive potential.
The Braves utilized Gattis as their left fielder during each of the three games played in Cincinnati earlier this week and then opted to keep him out of the lineup for the first two games of this weekend's four-game series against the Giants. This allowed Gattis a chance to get acquainted with the more cavernous AT&T Park's outfield during batting practice Thursday and Friday.
"I don't see any difference [between Cincinnati's outfield and San Francisco's]," Gattis said. "It's just bigger."
Gattis played 37 games in left field with Double-A Mississippi last year and then spent some time in the outfield while playing in the Venezuelan Winter League.
When right fielder Jason Heyward returns from the disabled list, it will be more difficult for the Braves to keep Gattis' bat in the lineup on a consistent basis.
To make room for Heyward on the active roster, the Braves could opt to go to a six-man bullpen or possibly trade veteran backup catcher Gerald Laird. The latter option would obviously allow Gattis to serve as McCann's primary backup.
