Skin Care and Diseases
Pebble-like lumps under daughter`s skin
Thanks for reading my question. My daughter has two areas on her body (right shin, left foot) that have small, hard lumps under her skin. She was x-rayed and a CT scan was performed to rule out the possibility of it being on the bone. The one on her right shin got half-dollar size but was not red or inflammed at all, and she said it hurt "sometimes". It eventually broke up into three smaller lumps but has not gone away. A dermatologist took a biopsy of the lump on her left foot and said it was Granuloma Annulare. I have trouble agreeing with him! The lumps on my daughter do not resemble the case photos I have seen in the least. My daughter has had none of the typical symptoms or appearance of GA. Can you offer any suggestions to point me in the right direction (as to what this could be)? Thank you for your time.
I read the history that you provided with interest. Recognize that granuloma annulare may produce large lesions that have in the past been mistaken for rheumatoid nodules. The histology, however, should alleviate your concerns. If there is a question, then I would suggest that you have a second opinion from another dermatologist, and may also ask for a biopsy and/or have the original biopsy read by another dermatopathologist. In this way, errors can be minimized. Once the diagnosis is established then your board certified dermatologist can help you treat the disorder.

ENGLAND'S Moeen Ali suffered the ignominy of a first-ball duck, but he was soon celebrating after Alex Hales' remarkable match-winning century against Sri Lanka in the World Twenty20.
The Worcestershire all-rounder bowled one over, conceding just four runs, but England were sloppy in the field, allowing the Sri Lankans to pile up an imposing 189-4 in Bangladesh.
Ashley Giles' side made the worst possible start in reply as Nuwan Kulasekara bowled Michael Lumb for a duck with the fourth ball before Moeen nicked his first ball to second slip.
The signs were ominous for England, who looked to be heading for a second defeat on the bounce following their Duckworth-Lewis loss to New Zealand in the opening game of Super 10 Group One.
However, Nottinghamshire batsman Hales and Eoin Morgan (57 off 38 balls) had other ideas, taking the score from 0-2 to 152-2 to turn the match on its head with the fourth highest partnership of all time in the format.
Hales produced a staggering innings – unbeaten on 116 from 64 balls – and finished the game in unforgettable fashion as he heaved Angelo Mathews for an enormous six to seal a six-wicket victory with four balls to spare.
It was England's first T20 international hundred as Hales struck six sixes and 11 fours to reel in a target of 190 in Chittagong.
Mahela Jayawardene made 89 to underpin Sri Lanka's 189-4, having led a charmed life from ball one.
He was controversially given not out first ball when Lumb appeared to take a clean catch off Jade Dernbach. England then contributed to their own woes in a ragged fielding display.
Meanwhile, Worcestershire were dismissed for 206 at the end of day two of their pre-season friendly against Gloucestershire in Bristol.
The hosts declared overnight on 353-5 and soon got among the Worcestershire batsmen. Play on the final day resumes at 11am today.

Mexico's Club León is working diligently to relieve the New York Red Bulls of Rafa Márquez, who has failed to live up to advance billing during this two-plus years in MLS.
León president Jesús Martínez Murguía told Mexico's Récord on Wednesday that the club has made a "major approach for the services of Rafa Márquez" and that an agreement could come this week. "Anything can happen, so don't want to harm it by talking too much. But we are in talks and hopefully something will materialize. Hopefully, we will reach an agreement."
Márquez, 33, is making $4.6 million per season on a contract that reportedly is entering an option year. He's been more of a designated problem than a designated player for the hard-luck Red Bulls. His play has been lackluster, when he's been available, and his behavior the source of considerable controversy.
Márquez has appeared in only 38 of New York's 73 MLS games over the past two years. He's been suspended for breaking an opponent's collar bone with a deliberate kick, for criticizing his own Red Bulls teammates and for starting a near brawl at the conclusion of a 2011 MLS Cup playoff game. He's been ejected from New York's season-ending defeats in each of the past two years.
Despite that record, Martínez said he is interested in signing the defender because he has "a lot of experience" and "still has several years" to recapture the form that made him a key part of Barcelona's UEFA Champions League winning teams in '06 and '09. León advanced to the Liga MX semifinals this season, its first after being promoted back into the top flight, and qualified to be one of Mexico's three guest teams in the 2013 Copa Libertadores.

Last year I put up this blog post explaining how to transfer content licenses to a new Xbox 360. With the release of Fallout 3 DLC, I've seen a number of folks asking whether or not they're able to play DLC content when they're NOT signed into Xbox LIVE — so I've figured now is a good time for a refresher.
So can you play content downloaded from Xbox LIVE while offline OR when using another user profile on your Xbox 360? The answer is YES, so long as you're playing the content on the same Xbox 360 you purchased the content on. This is because when you purchase content on your Xbox 360, you're assigned a license to use it only that Xbox 360. If you're no longer using the Xbox 360 you originally purchased the content on, you'll want to use the Xbox 360 Content License Transfer Tool.

AVON Valley Runners' Michael Towler warmed up for Saturday's South of England cross country championships by cruising to victory in the Corsham Park Challenge last weekend.
Towler, 24, from Trowbridge, finished the six-mile Corsham event, the fourth in event in the Wiltshire Off-Road Race League, in 34mins 47secs – almost a minute ahead of second-placed Heath Bampton (35:26).
And Towler says that his participation in the Park Challenge was all part of his preparations for this weekend's cross country showpiece at Parliament Hill, London.
"I'd looked at the race in Corsham a few days before but it was a bit of a spur of a moment thing to go and compete,'' said Towler, who is coached by Martin Rush.
"I had a look at the mileage I was supposed to be doing and decided to change it a little by racing there instead,"
"I haven't really raced much in the last six or seven weeks and my legs did feel a bit heavy but you expect that.
"I've got some big races coming up this year and it's all about getting ready for them.
"I've never done the cross country championships before and it's just a good chance to see how you get on against different runners.
"There should be about 14 of us going from the club – it's good to get the chance to go to these big races as a team."
Chippenham Harriers' Sam Hull finished third in the Park Challenge (35:54).
Round five of the Off-Road league is the Wiltshire Bustard half marathon in Salisbury, in March.

Suburban poverty reflects new demographics in King County
South King County serves as a poster child for the nationwide trend in suburban poverty.
Unlike the "white flight" of the 1960s when white urban residents flocked to the suburbs, a reverse shift has occurred during the past decade.
In 2012, more poor people now live in the suburbs than in cities. That total is more than 16.4 million people nationwide — a 64 percent increase since 2000, according to the Brookings Institution, a prominent independent think tank based in Washington, D.C.
South King County's growing communities are among the subjects of a new book titled "Confronting Suburban Poverty in America" by Elizabeth Kneebone and Alan Berube.
Berube, a senior fellow and deputy director at the Brookings Institution, shared his insights on local suburban poverty June 25 at the South King Council of Human Services (SKCHS) luncheon at Emerald Downs in Auburn.
SKCHS is a non-profit organization that helps improve access to housing, education, economic opportunities, racial equity and safe neighborhoods.
"The book affirms what we've been saying for years," said Nathan Phillips, SKCHS director, at Tuesday's gathering. "Resources don't flow to our region to address these challenges."
The luncheon was one of several engagements this week in South King County to launch a national tour for the book. The book takes a closer look at suburban poverty in Seattle, Chicago and Houston.
One local example is Tukwila, where more than one-third of the city's 19,000-plus residents are foreign-born. In addition to immigrants and refugees, Tukwila and South King County are seeing an influx of low-income residents in search of affordable housing due to rising real estate prices in Seattle.
Federal aid and resources continue to focus on the urban poor. Cities traditionally get a lion's share of the $82 billion in federal dollars devoted to the poor. Berube said outdated public policies fail to address the new definition of what it means to be poor in the U.S.
With the push to attract more businesses and jobs through economic development, cities like Federal Way — where more than 105 languages are spoken by families in its school district — should preserve affordable housing options and connect low-income residents to economic opportunities.
"Economic development doesn't mean moving the problem somewhere else," Berube told The Mirror, noting that Federal Way should continue to focus on basic needs such as education and transit. The latter is a critical link to jobs for low-income residents who lack adequate transportation.
As for education, the Road Map Project is a collaboration among seven area school districts to reduce the achievement gap among students. In December 2012, the project was awarded a $40 million grant from the U.S Department of Education's "Race to the Top" competition. The money will serve more than 261 schools and 150,000 students. Of those 150,000 students, 36,000 are considered high-need students.
Berube called the project a "regional quarterback" that strengthens the communities it serves.
"You are on the leading edge," Berube said, adding that the South King County region symbolizes where the rest of the country is going in terms of demographics and economics.
(Pictured: The Westway area, located off 21st Avenue SW near SW Campus Drive, is one of Federal Way low-income neighborhoods. Habitat for Humanity has rehabbed more than 36 homes in neighborhood.)

The Perfect Foundation!Revlon Colorstay foundation is a lifesaver for me, the best makeup I've tried, and I've tried many. I have dry skin that flakes here and there, and all other makeup products, with or without primer, make them very obvious. Colorstay goes on smoothly (no flakes!!!), covers imperfections well, I don't even use primer, concealer, and even powder anymore. The coverage is great, and the product is very...read more buildable- it's easy to hide dark circles, blemishes, etc. The finish is smooth and a little dewy, just perfect! It really lasts all day, even if you skip primer and powder, I put it on in the morning and never worry about it wearing off or melting on my face. There's a very good selection of colors, I just wish there were testers of some sort, cause it might be difficult to pick the right shade in the fluorescent light in stores. One small minus is that this makeup is not so easy to remove, and I have a hard time washing it off the makeup brush, so I just use my fingers :)). But that's a small price to pay for flawless look that lasts literally all day no matter what you do. Also, I wish the package had a pump, it would be much convenient, and more hygienic. Hope Revlon will fix that. I can't recommend this product enough! It's simply amazing! And is also quite affordable. — 4 years, 5 months agovenenumletalis | 176 reviews

ColorstayThis foundation gives a full coverage witth a matte finish. Being a full coverage foundation, it definitely has a thicker consistency, but I find that it doesn't feel like you've got makeup caked on once it's all blended. It is longwear-- I have worn it up to twelve hours without needing to use oil blotters or needing any touch ups. There was definitely some oil breakthrough on my nose by the end ...read moreof those twelve hours, but it just looked like I was wearing a satin leaning matte finish foundation. I also don't notice transfer issues even when I tried it without powder. It is buildable without being cakey. It does set very quickly, so you need to be fast when applying and blending. It has no SPF so it photographs nicely-- no white cast in your pictures. I purchased the normal formula even though I have rather oily skin and I would say that unless you are extremely oily, you could use the normal formula. It kind of just sucks the oil up so I don't know that I would recommend this product for dry skin. Wearing it, I would say this foundation is comparable to Kat Von D's Lock-it foundation. The only differences I noticed were that, on myself, Revlon's covereage wasn't quite as full, the matte finish looked more natural, and the formula didn't oxidize. The only real complaints would be: 1. The packaging is a bottle rather than a pump, which is less sanitary. And since the product is thick, it is kind of time consuming to get the product out of it's packaging. 2. Small shade selection. There are 13 shades to choose from I believe, but there's not much selection in undertone-- many of them appear to lean pink in the botle. Bottom line, give this a shot if you have oily skin, like full coverage, and/or prefer matte makeup and skip this is you have dry skin and/or prefer dewy, glowy makeup. — 3 years, 7 months agorunee89 | 299 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
For the year ahead, investors and traders alike need to learn to think differently from everyone else in the markets. In 2012, we found plentiful evidence that the biggest losers in the S&P 500 offer significant trading opportunities and that they frequently stage sharp fast rallies. Trading the falling knives instead of the glamorous darlings may give investors and edge as they put their tools to work in a less crowded playing field.
This thought is consistent with some of the research done by the Brandes Institute and others. I have a still-to-be-tested theory that bottom fishing is even more productive today as a result of ETF and index trading. These tend to have a bullish bias in my experience and provide a source of buying pressure for broken stocks. Once the fundamental selling is over, the blind buyers in the ETF marketplace reassert themselves and the stocks quickly correct. Even if my theory turns out not to hold water, the worst performing stocks are more likely to meet my fundamental criteria than the leaders, so it can still be a fertile shopping ground for stock ideas.
The worst performing stock in the index is Apollo Group (APOL). Even though the shares are down 60% over the past year, I still cannot bring myself to buy the stock or cover my short. The business model for the education industry is broken and I do not see a quick fix in the works anytime soon. I believe student signups and total enrollments will continue to decline next year and the stock will continue to go lower.
Best Buy (BBY) makes the fallen list with a decline of almost 47% in the past year. I am hearing chatter about a takeover by the CEO or even a private equity buyout. However, the company trades for more than 2x tangible book value and I will pass on any retailer at that level. Margins and earnings will be weak again next year and I see no reason to buy the stock. The same applies to J.C. Penney (JCP). In spite of Pershing Square Capital Management's Bill Ackman's constant and convincing presentations, the business is not good enough and the stock is not cheap enough for me to have any interest at this level.
I have been long and wrong in Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) for a good part of the second half of 2012.The largest supplier of iron ore to the North American teel business is likely to see weakness for at least the first half of 2013 because the steel markets remain very weak. The company has idled some domestic plants and taken other cost control measures. Eventually, the economy will recover and this stock will become a growth name once again. For now, the shares pay a comfortable yield of 6.4% and I am willing to ride out the bumps with my usual "stay small and move slowly" position. If the stock were to trade below tangible book value of $35, I would be willing to add a little more, scaling into additional shares.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is on the list as well after declining 40% in 2012. I have been tempted several times -- especially when some noted investors purchased substantial stakes in the company. However, I have gotten better at sticking to my discipline over the years and refuse to buy the stock until it trades at a substantial discount to my current estimate of liquidation value of $10. Around $8, I might be a buyer. Until then, I shall resist all temptation to buy a badly broken company that is struggling to execute a turnaround.
On a tangible book value basis, the cheapest stock on the losers' list is Chesapeake Energy (CHK). After its CEO was found to have engaged in some improper transactions with corporate lenders last year, this controversial company has attracted all the wrong kind of attention. The company also felt the same pressure as everyone else in the business from low natural gas prices. Chesapeake has announced a plan to grow production by 25% and cut debt by 25% over the next two years. If the company is successful, the stock could return to its past levels. After falling more than 25% in the past year, the shares now trade at just 70% of tangible book value. Carl Icahn and Mason Hawkins of Southeastern Asset management have both taken activist stakes in the company and are committed to pushing through asset sales and leading a turnaround. I think you can put in your sights on this stock as a buy for 2013.
Shopping among the biggest losers can be a fertile source of new ideas. Not all of the companies will be a screaming buy, but it is a useful activity to add to your research process. Traders and investors alike should be focusing on the unloved fallen angels to gain an edge on the market that can help keep the bottom line in the black.

McDonald makes roster, contemplates final season
MESA, Ariz. -- John McDonald was added to the Angels' 40-man roster on Tuesday, officially giving him the utility-infield spot he looked primed for all Spring Training, and his 5-year-old daughter wasn't sure how to handle it.
"She wants Daddy to come home," McDonald said of Jackie, who likes to stress that she's actually 5 1/2 years old. "She said, 'I'm happy for you, Daddy -- sad for me.'"
McDonald is 39 years old now, entering his 16th season, "and my kids are going to pull me back home a little bit more."
"This could be my last year," said McDonald, who had a $100,000 retention bonus that basically forced the Angels to make a decision by Tuesday. "I'm not going to have a press conference to announce it. … I plan on having a great year this year. You never know what can happen. I don't like putting a timetable on anything. I'm 39. I'm not foolish. There is only so long you can play."
McDonald knows he'll play this year, though. He joined the Angels on a Minor League contract in mid-January, entered camp in a two-man battle with Andrew Romine -- now with the Tigers -- for the backup infield spot. Grant Green emerged as a dark-horse candidate, but ultimately McDonald won the job he's held for almost his entire Major League career.
His glove has always been there, but his .321 Cactus League batting average certainly didn't hurt.
"He showed us this week that he's a piece that can definitely help us on the defensive side," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's a magician with the glove. He's really showed well at shortstop recently, and that's something to put a lot of weight on."
McDonald, originally a 12th-round Draft pick by the Indians in 1996, played six years in Cleveland, and a brief stint in Detroit was followed by another six years in Toronto, then 1 1/2 seasons in Arizona before a hectic, live-out-of-your suitcase 2013 season that saw him play for the Pirates, Indians, Phillies and Red Sox -- and collect three playoff shares.
McDonald has averaged 171 plate appearances per season -- regulars get somewhere around 700 -- and batted .235/.274/.327 for his career, but his defense and versatility always led to a job. This was the first time McDonald has entered camp on a Minor League contract.
He feels like he's been fighting all his life, though.
"You come to camp and want an opportunity to show you can still play," McDonald said. "That feeling never gets old. I feel like managers have had to tell me every year that I've made the team. I feel like walking out of that office is always rewarding."

- Compounding Can Add Fuel to Your Portfolio
If you enter the terms "Albert Einstein" and "compounding" into an Internet search engine, you'll discover a wide variety of quotes attributed to the great inventor. Some results say Einstein called compounding the "greatest mathematical discovery of all time," while others say he called it the "most powerful force in the universe." Despite the many variations, Einstein's point is valid: compounding can add fuel to your portfolio's growth. The key is to allow enough time to let it go to work.
- Evaluating risk in your portfolio

Gray returns to form as A's rise to MLB's best mark
Oakland gets 11 more hits vs. Texas; righty sharp for seven frames
OAKLAND -- The A's bats were wide awake in a three-game meeting with the Rangers, who couldn't quite keep up in Wednesday's finale against Sonny Gray.
The Oakland righty, on the heels of consecutive losses for the first time in his young career, righted the ship and looked like an ace again in the matinee, firing seven innings of two-run ball in a 4-2 series-clinching victory at the Coliseum.
Once upon a time, when both clubs boasted good health, the growing rivalry between the A's and Rangers was one of the best in the game, even if overlooked on the other side of the country.
Texas' depleted club now doubles as a MASH unit, but the A's aren't ready to dismiss the Rangers, who have admirably hung tough through it all. Still, they exited Oakland two games below .500 and nine games out of first place.
The A's, meanwhile, not only sit atop the AL West. Their latest win, combined with San Francisco's loss to the White Sox, secured baseball's best record at 44-28.
Josh Donaldson, coming out of a slump, collected two hits and an RBI, and John Jaso and Brandon Moss helped out with RBI doubles off righty Nick Tepesch, who allowed four runs in five innings. In all, the A's totaled 39 hits in 25 innings in the series.
"Anytime, at this point in time in the season, that you can say you have the best record in baseball, it's satisfying, but there's a lot of baseball yet to be played," said manager Bob Melvin. "You try to take that confidence and where you are right now and apply it to games tomorrow and the next day and the next day. At least for the time being, it feels good."
"They are a very good team," said Rangers manager Ron Washington. "They can hurt you in three areas of their lineup: top, middle and bottom. Somebody in that lineup in each of the groups is having a good day. That's why they are so successful."
The A's next challenge comes in the form of yet another battered club, with the 34-38 Red Sox heading into the Coliseum on Thursday for the start of a four-game series.
Boston has struggled to defend a World Series title Oakland has been inching toward for years. Many believe this could be the club that conquers it.
"I think it says a lot about the guys who have gotten opportunities and stepped up," said Sean Doolittle. "We've seen it the last couple of years, the way Bob has managed the platoons. But, if you look at the way guys like Jesse Chavez, Drew Pomeranz have come in ... it's something about the nature of this clubhouse and the nature of this team. It's a loose enough environment in here that guys can be themselves, stay relaxed enough to go out there and make the most of their opportunities."
Doolittle has surely made the most of his, extending his scoreless innings streak to 22 1/3 in the closer's role with his ninth save on Wednesday. The lefty's numbers are silly: He's struck out 48 and walked just one, yet he tries to ignore them.
"But it's getting harder and harder," Doolittle said smiling. "I tend to be focused more on the process, more on the work I do before the game. It's all about getting into those counts that are in my advantage. I don't think it's a secret I hate walks. I hate walking people. Having been a hitter in the past, I feel like I have a little bit of an idea how hard hitting is, so I feel like if I can make quality pitches rather than give a guy a free pass, make him earn it, then I give myself a better chance to have a good inning."
Gray had six good innings Wednesday, completing seven in all with six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts. Outside of a two-run fifth inning, he carved through the Rangers' lineup with ease, improving to 8-2 with a 1.90 ERA in 13 career starts against the AL West.
He was 1-2 with a 5.63 ERA in his last four starts.
"When I first came up, talking to some of the older guys that are here, and this year talking to [Scott Kazmir], I think people sometimes forget that baseball's a pretty hard game and there's going to be some rough patches that you're going to go through," said Gray. "But being able to know how good you are and know what you're able to do and stay with from game to game. ... Just continue to move on and look to the next start."
"I don't think he worries too much about thinking about, 'I need to bounce back,'" said Melvin. "He's just preparing to reach out and has high expectations for himself and expects to go out there and do well."

Each family has their own traditions and in my family eggnog logs was a cookie that was made each Christmas. In the past I have stuck to other people's recipes when it comes to making cookies but I have started converting recipes on my own. This recipe is one that I am very happy with and when I shared a plate of them with a group at church they loved them. It wasn't until the plate was almost clean that another group member who knows I am gluten free asked if they were. The group could not believe the cookies were gluten and dairy free!
Eggnog Logs
What you need for the cookie:
- 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Brown Rice Flour
- 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Sorghum Flour
- ½ cup Potato Starch
- ½ cup Tapioca Starch
- 1-½ tsp Guar Gum
- 1 cup Dairy Free Butter Substitute, softened
- ¾ cup Sugar
- 1-¼ tsp ground Nutmeg
- 1 Egg
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 tsp Rum Extract
What you need for the frosting:
- ¼ cup Dairy Free Butter Substitute, softened
- 3 cups Powder Sugar, divided
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Rum Extract
- 2 Tbsp Coconut Cream, off the top of canned coconut milk
- Ground Nutmeg
In a bowl cream the butter substitute and sugar together. Add the nutmeg, egg, vanilla and rum extract and mix until thoroughly combined. Sift the flours together and add to the egg mixture. Beat until flour is fully combined in the dough. Cover the dough and chill for at least one hour. Roll dough into ½ in round by 3 inches long logs and place onto a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until they are lightly brown. They will stay almost white looking and you will question if they are done but they are. Remove the cookies and let cool on wire racks.
To make the frosting, cream the butter substitute until it is light and fluffy. Add in 2 cups of powder sugar and extracts and mix well. Beat in the coconut cream and remaining cup of powder sugar until light and fluffy. Frost cookies and run a fork down the frosting to create the look of a log in the frosting. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg to finish the look of a log. Store in an air tight container.
Yield: 4 dozen cookies

You can download a deluxe SketchUp drawing of the Schoolbox, a project that was featured on the cover of the Autumn 2009 issue.
This file was made by Randall Wilkins, a set designer in the film industry who uses SketchUp in his job and in his woodworking hobby. This file is extremely cool. Here are some details.
Wilkins has added additional scenes (click on the tabs at the top of the file) that will create shop drawings for you in a variety of views, including some helpful section views. All the surfaces have a nice wood grain pattern on them. And the box's lid is now a dynamic component , which means it will open and shut with a mouse click. Here's how to do that:
In Sketchup, go to View/Tool Palettes/Dynamic Components, a new tool palette will open. Click on the little hand and then touch the box lid. It will open and close again on the next click. This will work from any view. Wilkins created these drawings because he is planning on making a copy of the schoolbox for each of his daughters. But he also graciously allowed us to share it with you.
Don't have SketchUp? You should. It's a free download from Google.

Struck DownMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
One hundred people stand in a row
Each has a rank from go to whoa
Every fifth one is struck from the line
This is repeated time after time
'til at last there is only five left in line
What is the original rank of the one on the end this time?
HintThey line up numbered from 1 to 100 and every fifth person leaves the line. This continues till only 5 remain.
AnswerInitially the rank of the last person is 100. Every fifth person is struck out of the line. Since 100 is divisible by 5 this person leaves. Thus the last 2 ranking persons are now the (original) 99th and 98th and there are 80 people left. Every fifth person now leaves, including the last one originally ranked 99 so the last person is now the original ranked 98th. 80/5 is 16 so 16 have left with 64 remaining. Now, 12 leave (64/5) down to 52. Then 10 leave (52/5) with 42 remaining. 8 leave with 34 remaining; 6 leave with 28 remaining; 5 leave with 23 remaining...19...16...13..11...9,8,7,6,5. To this point none of the remaining queues have been evenly divisible by 5 so the last person has always stayed. The person originally ranked 98th is still here!

|Improving Effective Contraceptive Use Among Opioid-maintained Women
- Point prevalence use of a prescription contraceptive [ Time Frame: 6 months after randomization ]
|Study Start Date:
|October 2011
|Study Completion Date:
|June 2014
|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: Contraceptive management program
Behavioral: Contraceptive management program
The contraceptive management program will consist of two components: (1) the World Health Organization's contraception protocol and (2) reinforced follow-up visits.
Active Comparator: Usual care
The usual care condition will be given general information about contraceptive options and contact information for clinics and providers that provide contraceptive services.
Other: Usual care
The usual care condition will be given general information about contraceptive options and contact information for clinics and providers that provide contraceptive services.
Detailed Description:
The rate of unintended pregnancy among opioid-dependent women is extremely high: nearly 9 of every 10 pregnant opioid-dependent women report that the current pregnancy was unintended, a rate 2-3 times that of the general population. Despite these dire statistics, there is a dearth of scientific knowledge about contraceptive use in this population and about how to promote use of more effective contraceptives (e.g., birth control pills, IUDs, implants).
The aim of this Stage I Behavioral and Integrative Treatment Development Program application is to develop and pilot test a novel contraceptive management program to increase use of more effective contraceptives among OM women. OM women (N=100) at risk for unintended pregnancy will be randomly assigned to a 6-month contraceptive management program or to usual care. The contraceptive management program will consist of two components: (1) the World Health Organization's contraception protocol and (2) reinforced follow-up visits. At their first visit, participants assigned to the contraceptive management program will complete the WHO's contraception protocol, which consists of assistance choosing a contraceptive method, structured educational counseling about their chosen method, a free supply of this method, and the option of initiating this method immediately. Subsequently, contraceptive management program participants will earn voucher-based incentives to reinforce attendance at follow-up visits where they will receive support to manage side effects and problem-solve compliance problems, refills of their chosen method, and assistance switching methods when indicated. At each visit, contraceptive management program participants will also be counseled about the risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS, the need for dual protection (i.e., protection from both pregnancy and STIs), and provided with a supply of condoms. Participants assigned to the usual care condition will be given general information about contraceptive options and contact information for clinics and providers that provide contraceptive services. Contraceptive use by all participants will be evaluated at assessments scheduled 1, 3, and 6 months after trial intake. The impact of prescription contraceptive use on condom use will also be assessed. It is hypothesized that the contraceptive management program will increase effective contraceptive use without decreasing condom use.
The proposed project will be the seminal study of an intervention to increase more effective contraceptive use in OM women and the first step towards our overarching goal of developing an efficacious, empirically based contraceptive management program that can be disseminated to drug treatment facilities throughout the country. The proposed research also holds significant potential for impacting public health in general, as development of efficacious programs will help reduce the vast economic and societal costs associated with unintended pregnancy among drug-dependent and non-drug-dependent women alike.

'True Grit,' 'Rabbit Hole'
The Coen Brothers have always had a peculiar relationship with Texas, maybe because the sense of Wild West recklessness is still cultivated by urbanites. It's a complex feeling, though: A lone Ranger (sans mask) named LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) endures a share of mockery in True Grit, but it's forgiveable — the movie is just so damn entertaining.
I barely noticed a contraction in the dialogue until the waning minutes of the film, which imbues the tale with a poetic majesty without being stilted. Yet the Coens keep everything in the realm of the real; this isn't some commonplace revenge fantasy but a devil-in-the-details character study of a girl (Hailee Steinfeld, who's remarkable) and a wizened marshal-for-hire (Jeff Bridges, better even than his Oscar performance in last year's Crazy Heart). It avoids predictable, touchy-feely sentimentality while still being emotionally stirring.
Less stirring is Rabbit Hole — perhaps because it tries too hard. A couple (Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart) work through their grief over the death of their child in wildly different ways. It's a prickly story about yuppies in denial where so many of the characters seem to want to be hated — or at least misunderstood. Grief is hard to portray in small doses (everyone deals with loss uniquely), and to try to make a movie of nothing but is too great a task for director John Cameron Mitchell. Kidman's OK, but the standout is Miles Teller as a regretful teen. He and Steinfeld should make a movie together.

For Republicans, immigration can be a tricky affairNick O'Malley
Published: January 31 2013 - 3:00AM
WASHINGTON: Don't get too excited. Yes, Barack Obama made a speech in Nevada on Tuesday applauding a bipartisan group of senators who had the day before announced they had found common ground on immigration reform.
Yes, reform of the type they advocate is good policy, perhaps even brave policy.
No, it is not a sign the fever in Washington has broken and that Congress has started to function as it should.
There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living and working in America. Most are from Mexico, many have been here for more than a decade, many were brought by their parents as young children.
Many have been to school and college here, and while they pay tax (such as sales tax) and may not (legally) work, they are vital to some agricultural, service and manufacturing industries.
They may not vote.
For a generation, Washington has looked for ways to invite this group in from the cold without encouraging further undocumented immigration.
Both Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush attempted reform, but many Republican candidates found anti-immigration populism easier and safer than addressing the complicated problem.
That all ended on November 7, when Obama won more than 70 per cent of the Hispanic vote.
And guess what?
Research showed the voting Hispanic population - even conservative Cubans - did not appreciate the ugly immigration tough-talk that marked the Republican primaries last year. ''This is a defining moment for the Republican Party,'' the GOP strategist Leslie Sanchez told the Washington Post. ''If Republicans don't heed this warning, we are certainly in danger of becoming politically irrelevant at a national level.''
The DC establishment has heeded the warning, and the sight of the party elder statesman John McCain on a stage beside one of its potential future presidents, Marco Rubio (a Cuban-American from Florida), and key members of the Democratic Senate majority is evidence of that.
This is also why the working group laced the proposals with conservative catnip. Yes, there would be a ''pathway to citizenship'' for those who arrived without documents, but they would be at the back of the queue, behind those who arrived legally. There would be no ''pathway'' introduced until the border was strengthened with more border agents, increased use of drones and other surveillance equipment, and completion of an entry-exit system to track visa holders.
Finally they would establish a commission of governors, attorneys-general and community leaders from border states to vet the changes. It is this last caveat that has the potential to derail the reform. While the Republican Party's DC establishment might realise it can't win the White House without winning over Hispanics through immigration reform, many of its candidates on the border - and in other hard right districts - can't even win a primary without refusing to support such reform.

Shreveport Native Cole Vosbury's Blind Audition to Air on 'The Voice'
Shreveport, Louisiana singer Cole Vosbury's blind audition on "The Voice" will air on September 24, 2013 at 7 p.m. It's safe to say all local eyes will be on the singer, whose musical roots run deep.
Cole is a member of the Cole Vosbury Trio along with his father, Robin Vosbury, who is a well known guitarist also from Shreveport. The elder Vosbury has played with The Crawdads, Claude King and B.B. Watson.
Cole attended Huntington High School and Southwood High School in Shreveport, La.
At the time of this writing, it hasn't been announced what song Cole will perform during his blind audition on "The Voice."
In 2010, he released an original song called 'Caylee's Eyes' that he co-wrote with his dad.
Cole wrote the song, which is about the deceased daughter of Casey Anthony, with his dad when he was 16 or 17 years-old. Cole says that in the time since writing it, his style has changed significantly.
We'll get to hear the proof for ourselves soon enough on 'The Voice.'

The Straw that Broke the Champion's LungsScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
A physics teacher used to enjoy tricking his students into learning science facts. One day, he placed an 8-ounce glass filled with water on a table. He then produced 2 straws; one straw he placed into the glass of water and the other he held outside the glass.
"Class," he said, "I am willing to fund a pizza party for the class if any one of you can drink this glass of water in 5 minutes using only these two straws." The class was amazed; this would be an easy task for any of them. "There are a few conditions," he continued. "You must drink using both straws at the same time. You must drink using slow and steady draws. You cannot block or obstruct either straw in any way. You cannot lift or tilt the glass off of the table. And finally, one straw must remain outside of the glass."
The class selected their champion and felt confident that they would be enjoying pizza at the same time next week. Five minutes later, the champion returned to his seat, defeated, and the class sat with jaws agape. Being a good sport, the teacher still bought pizza for the class the next week, confident they would never forget the lesson he taught them.
Why did the champion fail?
AnswerThe teacher knew a lot about air pressure. He knew that air from a high-pressure area would always seek to fill an area of lower pressure, such as a vacuum. He also knew that a straw worked on this principle. Drawing on the straw creates a low-pressure area in the mouth; air pressure pushes down on the water and forces it up into the straw. When he placed the second straw outside the glass, and thus outside the water, he gave the air a more direct path from the high-pressure area to the low-pressure area. With slow steady draws on the straws, the air will easily rush in through the second straw to fill the low-pressure area, and the water will remain in the glass. Try it at home!

Which Luxury Gadget Would You Buy?
We drool, gawk and scoff at luxury gadgets nearly every day, but what if we suddenly had a much, much larger bank account? Would we be more likely to throw down on gold and diamond encrusted gizmos? PC World has put together a collection of The World's Most Extravagant Technology Products, which they aptly note are all "absurdly expensive," but some are "practical, some are pretentious, and some are preposterous." My favorite items on the list are the Luvaglio Laptop, which is a $1,000,000 concept product; the $18,000 Vertu cell phone, which features an 18-karat yellow gold finish and black leather backing; the i.Beat organix FM, an MP3 player with an 8-karat gold casing, 63 1-carat diamonds and a $20,000 price tag; and lastly, the $25,000 Diamond Flower mouse, which is 8-karat white gold encrusted with 59 brilliant-cut diamonds. If money was no object, which of these items would you buy? (Options are clockwise from top left.)

Promoting sweet potatoes still is often based around holiday use, but growers want to expand the peak season by offering promotions throughout the year.
"As the demand for sweet potatoes continues to grow, sweet potatoes are no longer seen as an item to only promote at those times. Consumers are making sweet potatoes a regular item in their meal planning all year long," said Mike Kemp, business analyst for Market Fresh Produce, Nixa, Mo.
Year-round sales increase
"Ads usually run during the holidays to promote sweet potatoes at that time of year, and we do promotions for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, but we also run promotions with chain stores at different times of the year," said Stewart Precythe, president and chief executive officer of Southern Produce Distributors Inc., Faison, N.C.
Others agree year-round sales are growing.
"Twenty years ago, our company sales around Thanksgiving were probably 35% of our total business. Now, it's only 20%," said George Wooten, president of Wayne E. Bailey Produce Inc, Chadbourn, N.C.
In fact, Wooten says the company sees good demand in July and August.
"Because of their versatility, summer is a big push for sweet potatoes. Grilling is especially popular with sweet potatoes," he said.
The North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission also has focused on summer grilling promotions.
"Sure, we love them in pies, but they are also wonderful paired with savory ingredients, so we partnered with Elizabeth Karmel, grilling expert and executive chef of Hill Country BBQ in N.Y., to develop some tasty summer grilling recipes in hopes that food editors would give sweet potatoes some love in their summer issues," Cristy-Lucie Alvarado, representative for the commission, said in an e-mail.
In addition, Wooten says sweet potato consumption in the summer has gone up because of the increased offerings at restaurants.
"It used to be that if you weren't at home, you weren't eating sweet potatoes, but now you can eat them on vacation in restaurants," he said.
Heart-healthy promos
Precythe says he doesn't think price cuts are the way to promote sweet potatoes.
"In my opinion, that doesn't sell more potatoes. The retail market generally stays around 79 cents or 99 cents a pound," he said.
Charles Walker, executive secretary of the Columbia, S.C.-based U.S. Sweet Potato Council, thinks promoting nutrition could be better taken advantage of.
"We still have the heart check mark, but I'd like to see more shippers use it to their advantage," Walker said.
Walker only knows of three or four growers that use the check mark on their packaging or promotional materials, and while it might prove effective for those shippers, the industry isn't getting the benefits it could see.
"For the industry as a whole, with not having more shippers use it, we're not getting the effectiveness we could get out of that," he said.
Still, he thinks it's a good marketing technique.
"I'm very happy we have it," he said.
The council also works with Produce for Better Health for promotional purposes.
"They do nice recipes and have sweet potatoes featured on their website," Walker said.

PLAYING an unhinged teenager who demands the head of John the Baptist before having her own throat slit is proving to be a messy business for Cheryl Barker.
The soprano sings the title role in Opera Australia's new production of Salome, and is drenched in blood by the time the curtain falls.
Barker, who played Salome for the first time in London seven years ago, said she was not squeamish.
''I think this role suits my sensibility: the gorier, the better,'' she said.
But she had asked the props team to mix up a thinner batch of blood.
''It was sticking everything together,'' she said. ''It glued up my costume, my hair was glued to my skin and my hands stuck to the floor.''
Salome opens this Friday, two weeks after the premiere of another blood-splattered opera, Lucia di Lammermoor.
Yet this new production of Richard Strauss's one-act opera ups the gore factor thanks to set designer Brian Thomson, who has created an abattoir inside the Sydney Opera House for director Gale Edwards.
Behind a banquet table laden with exotic food - reindeer, swans and dogs - swing rows of large animal carcasses from which performers carve off slabs of meat, while a bloodstained set of stairs leads down to a cistern in which John the Baptist, played by John Wegner, is imprisoned.
The carcasses are not real but made of metal frames covered in foam ''and all sorts of plastic and rubber'', Thomson said.
''If you think of the paintings of Francis Bacon, they're pretty skeletal with not a lot of meat and tissue left on them.''
Thomson's recent sets include a decadent 1930s Spiegeltent for last year's La Boheme and the harbour staging of La Traviata.
He is working on next year's Opera on Sydney Harbour production of Carmen, which will also be directed by Edwards.
But he said Salome was ''the most full-on set I've done''.
Thomson's blood-spattered set was inspired by the violent corrupt world inhabited by the title character, which Edwards said was a consequence of despotic power.
''We had to create a world where a man's head could be severed after supper at the whim of a precocious girl,'' she said.
''Where the slitting of a human throat carries no more significance than the slaughter of a beast for the dinner table.''
But Barker said the blood-splattered set had won over her 13-year-old son, Gabriel, who watched a rehearsal last week..
''He loved it and he doesn't like opera very much,'' she said.

Jennings, Capps return for Marlins' stretch run
MIAMI -- Injuries early in the season forced the Marlins to change the look of their bullpen on more than one occasion. But as rosters expanded on Monday, Miami was finally able to bring in some reinforcements, as it reinstated Carter Capps (right elbow) and Dan Jennings (concussion) from the 60-day and 15-day disabled lists, respectively.
Jennings hasn't seen action in the Majors since being struck on the head by a line drive off the bat of Jordy Mercer in the seventh inning at Pittsburgh on Aug. 7.
He was placed on the 7-day concussion list the following day, but was playing catch at Marlins Park a week later. At the time, Jennings was still feeling some tenderness on the left side of his head but was confident he'd be completely symptom-free by the time rosters could expand.
"Obviously, my first thought was, 'Year's over,'" Jennings said. "Now, I'm back and able to play again. It's awesome."
The rehab process seemed lengthy for the 27-year-old, who had never been on the disabled list. Jennings progressed quickly, though. Three days after his first outing with the Gulf Coast League Marlins on Aug. 19, he was transferred to the 15-day disabled list and moved over to Class A Advanced Jupiter to continue his rehab.
In four total appearances, Jennings threw seven scoreless innings and gave up three hits and a walk, while striking out nine batters. Pitching in "less tense situations," he said, afforded him the chance to get over the fear of comebackers.
He did have a close call with a ground ball hit to his feet, but it didn't bother him.
"When something like that happens, the team, as well as myself, want to make sure I can get back on the mound and still pitch," Jennings said. "I'm fortunate that I didn't have any lapses or anything like that, that I was able to just get back on [the mound] and pitch -- and it felt natural."
His only lingering fear is the possibility of allowing a pitch to cross the middle of the plate, making the ball hittable like it did in the sequence against Mercer.
"[It's] just fear that it's a bad pitch and they're gonna hit it in general, and that's obviously something you try to avoid," Jennings said.
Meanwhile, Capps has been sidelined with right elbow inflammation since the end of May. He was shut down for two months before he started playing catch in August. His first rehab appearance didn't come until Aug. 25.
The hard-throwing righty pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings for the GCL Marlins and the Hammerheads. He threw two of those frames in his latest outing on Saturday, during which he recorded two strikeouts.
"It definitely felt like a long time coming, but the training staff just assured me that they thought I could be back around September," Capps said. "Luckily, I didn't have any setbacks. I was pretty grateful for that and just really blessed that I didn't have any more problems than I did. Caught it early. Definitely glad to be back."
Although the path back to the Majors has been a long one, Capps feels more mechanically sound than he felt even during Spring Training. In the months leading up to the initial diagnosis, he was experiencing issues on extension -- especially when throwing his fastball, which, according to FanGraphs, averaged 97.7 miles per hour this year.
The issues became readily apparent in his final outings on May 21 and May 25, when he yielded three earned runs on four hits (one a homer) across two innings. In seven games before that, he'd posted a 0.90 ERA and struck out 14 batters -- something he hopes to get back to as the Marlins push for the playoffs.
"I really wanted to go into the offseason not leaving a bad taste in the Marlins' mouth," Capps said. "They obviously gave me a great opportunity to be up here, and I definitely want to prove that I can pitch up here and pitch healthy."

Women's Basketball
Greg Kirby
|Associate Head Coach
Greg Kirby was promoted to associate head coach for the Valparaiso University women's basketball program prior to the 2007-2008 season and is heading into his sixth season on the Crusader coaching staff.
Kirby joined the Crusader program before the 2006-2007 campaign as an assistant coach, and is responsible for instructing the defense and post players. He is the team's scouting director and helps with recruiting, in addition to serving as the team's academic monitor.
In his first five seasons with the Crusaders, five players have earned All-Conference honors, either in the Mid-Continent Conference or the Horizon League, with another two student-athletes being named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team.
Kirby's first season with the Brown and Gold saw the Crusaders earn a second place finish in the Mid-Continent Conference as Valpo posted a 20-11 season, the team's fifth 20-win season in school history.
Since Kirby's arrival, Valpo has twice been ranked in the WBCA Top-25 on the academic honor roll and the Crusaders have had 31 players earn academic honors from the conference.
Kirby arrived on the Valpo campus from across town, where he was the head girls basketball coach at Valparaiso High School for 16 seasons, beginning in 1990. During his stint with the Vikings, Kirby guided his squads to a 324-58 (.848) record, winning the Duneland Athletic Conference title 12 times. Kirby also led Valparaiso High School to 12 sectional titles, eight regional championships, and five state Final Four appearances. Twice the Vikings finished state runner-up.
In 1996, Kirby was named the state of Indiana's Coach of the Year by the Girls Sports Association, an organization that named him District Coach of the Year three times. He also was named District Coach of the Year four times by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association.
Prior to arriving at Valparaiso High School, Kirby was the boys varsity coach at Portage High School for nine seasons from 1978-1987 where he posted a 115-86 mark. Combined coaching both girls and boys, Kirby has tallied a 439-144 prep record, good for a .753 winning percentage.
Kirby was a business teacher at Valparaiso High School for five years as well as the Dean of Students at the high school for 11 years, retiring in the summer of 2006.
Kirby played collegiately at Northern Michigan for one season before transferring to William Jewell.
A 1969 graduate of William Jewell with a degree in business administration, Kirby earned his Master's of Education degree from the University of Illinois in 1975.

ORMOND BEACH, Fla. - Volusia County deputies say a 22-month-old toddler was left home alone for hours while her parents were out shopping at Walmart.
Deputies said marijuana was also found inside the Ormond Beach home located on Avenue J.
Chyanne Messer, 19, and Daniel Voisard, 24, were arrested and charged with child neglect and possessing drug paraphernalia.
Deputies said they were called to the home around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. The caller wanted to remain anonymous but told authorities they saw the child being left home alone all the time.
When Volusia County deputies knocked on the front door, they say no one answered, but they could hear a young child talking inside.
Officers stood on a cinder block and peered into a window and said they saw a little girl in a bedroom all by herself.
All the doors and windows were locked, so deputies used a screwdriver to pry open a back door and broke in to rescue the toddler.
Investigators said they searched the house for the little girl's parents, but they were nowhere to be found.
What was found, officers said, was marijuana and a glass pipe in plain view on the coffee table.
Deputies said it wasn't until about two hours later that Voisard and Messer returned home.
Investigators said Voisard refused to answer any questions, but Messer told investigators when they left to go to Walmart, the little girl was sleeping so they thought it would be fine because they weren't going to be gone for very long.
Deputies immediately called the Department of Children and Families and the agency took custody of the little girl. Animal services was also called to pick up the couple's dog and care for it while they are in jail.

Opto xXx and Z Flick seem to be the best for consistent distance, but you have to throw with a lot of power to get the full flight out of them. I have an Opto Trident that goes almost as far and doesn't require me to risk damaging my shoulde r to get it to work. Another option is the Z Flick in lighter weights. I have one at around 160g (I've seen them as low as 148g on EBay) that goes just as far as my max weight Flick (Maybe 5' less at most), and as an added bonus, it makes a great forehand driver as well. The only drawback is it gets blown around by the wind a little more, but I throw most of my thumbers in the woods so wind is less of an issue.
90% of the time, I reach for the Trident though.

Hello. I throw mostly backhand drives now, pretty accurate up to 300 feet, mostly using lighter Blizzard line discs such as Boss and Katana. I also have many other lightweight discs, including the TeeDevil which I want to ask y'all about.
For accuracy I thow leopard beause that thing just suits me so well. Anyway... Usually I don't have an issue with any of my discs, every disc I know how to throw and how they work but this damned Blizzard TeeDevil does not seem to follow any logic whatsoever based on their flight rating values.
I mean like what's up with the turnover properties it has? It does not matter how hard of a hyzer angle I throw it at, it always just flips over to the right like someone threatened it with a gun or something.
I'm telling you, this disc feels haunted. Either haunted, or it has a turn of -8.
My Vulcan, with a turn of -4 does not flip over nearly as much as TeeDevil does and Katana does not even come close.
My Boss and Destroyer do this some times when thrown extremely fast and because of that I throw them at a slight hyzer angle and they just straighten themselves out no problem.
Now I do realize that lightweight discs flip over more easily (this TeeDevil is rated at 137 grams) and that could be the reason mut Boss does not do this at all, it has a bit different flight values but it behaves entirely differently (I gotta mention that my Boss is a damn beat up disc already, been using it for around 350 rounds now.)
Is there a reason why a disc with -1 turn behaves entirely differently from another disc with the same turn rate, or is it some entirely different flight value that determines the discs tendency to flip over in a shot, or do I just throw the said discs differently?
Oh and the flipover on teedevil is no "accident", it happens over and over again, even reliably so. I threw my record of 460 feet with it while doing a nice anhyzer glide shot in a soccer field, from one goal to other and way beyond. With straight shots or slightly curved hyzers I can reach 320 feet at best, so that single 460 feet throw was an absolute beast of a throw and a clear record for me.
Now what I really just want to know is that does TeeDevil do this for all of you or is mine broken?
Kind regards, Cryu


text: This news item expired on 12/31/2014, so the information below could be outdated or incorrect. Healthy Tip - You Say Tomato You've heard of ditching salt to help lower your blood pressure. But what about bumping up your tomato intake? Seems it may be a cherry tomato of an idea. People with hypertension who consumed tomato extract daily for 8 weeks experienced a 10-point drop in systolic blood pressure and a 4-point drop in diastolic pressure. The reason? Researchers credit the lycopene in tomato extract for the potential blood-pressure-lowering effects experienced by participants in a recent study, but further research is needed to confirm the findings. And it's not clear how eating whole tomatoes would compare to taking tomato extract. In the study, people took 250 milligrams of commercial tomato extract daily – containing about 15 milligrams of lycopene. That would be equivalent to the lycopene in about 3 or 4 tablespoons of tomato paste, which wouldn't be a difficult amount to add to your daily diet. Regardless of the blood pressure benefits, we already know that lycopene has anticancer and heart-protective effects. Not a fan of tomatoes? You have other options for getting your lycopene fix, including watermelon, red grapefruit, and canned baked beans. Source: Realage.com

'Bomb detector' a golf-ball finder
When James McCormick told armies, police forces and governments that his bomb detectors worked from 30 metres underwater or a plane five kilometres up, it might have sounded too good to be true. Especially when he said they needed no power except the ''electrostatic energy from the human body''.
Still, he found customers. He sold £37 million ($55 million) worth to Iraq. The United Nations paid £46,000 for five of them to find bombs in Lebanon.
