What was supposed to be a positive exposure for sharks continues to drive the wrong headlines in the media. Of course The Sun is known for its sensationalism and yellow journalism.
I think the headline says it all: Diver feeds killer sharks - by hand.
Good exposure for human - bad exposure for shark. I just refuse to believe that people in the shark diving industry are surprised when the media spins a story.

Fairfax County Government Reduces Fuel Consumption Over Last Fiscal Year
Fairfax County employees used 56,726 fewer gallons of fuel from June 2006 through May 2007 than they did during the previous 12-month period. The decrease, which has saved the county an estimated $115,000, is the result of fuel conservation efforts by the county, the reduction in the number of vehicles in the county fleet, operational changes within agencies and tighter controls over the use of miscellaneous codes used to dispense fuel at 47 locations throughout the county.
Changes now in effect have eliminated miscellaneous codes at agencies that did not use them often; limited miscellaneous code use in certain agencies to specific groups and individuals; and added miscellaneous code use in certain agencies to more easily identify users and provide better control. Where possible, access to fuel has been limited to certain locations and fuel types.
In addition, unique driver personal identification numbers were established, and monthly reports are generated for each agency with details (date, time, quantity and location) for all miscellaneous fuel used.
Fairfax County agencies typically use a total of about 3.9 million gallons of fuel per year. Prior to this reduction, the amount of fuel issued to county agency vehicles had been increasing, by 197,358 gallons and 84,049 gallons respectively, over the two previous fiscal years.

This is not just cottage cheese, but clabbered cottage cheese. As in cottage cheese with a dangerously high proportion of thick, cultured cream (essentially crème fraîche) mixed right in to the cheese. Pair with ripe, sweet berries and you've got the ideal warm weather snack. The creation from San Francisco-based Cowgirl Creamery skirts the line of guilty pleasure with those creamy, rich curds finishing on a tangy note. It's $10.99 a pound at Eataly and just as good eaten plain with a spoon, straight from the plastic container.

ILLNESS-HIT Chippenham gave youth an opportunity as they slipped to National Three South West defeat in Berkshire.
The Allington Field side gave a debut to 18-year-old scrum-half Will Waddington and a second outing to 17-year-old Hugh Campbell on the wing, testament to the work being done by John Brown and his coaching team in the development squad.
The visitors took the lead on 14 minutes when debutant Waddington jinked through the defence to score his first try for the senior team, Harry Taylor converting.
Five minutes later, following a bust up between the forwards at a scrum, Chippenham were awarded a penalty that Taylor slotted, Redingensians hit back before half time, scoring two tries and converting one to lead 12-10.
Chippenham took the early second-half initiative through a well-taken try by Ryan Surry.
But the Rams upped the tempo and their more experienced forwards took charge, scoring three further tries, Taylor responding with a penalty for Chippenham.

Please no more mike!
Yep. At the very least keep him at 30+ mpg like he hit tonight. I said it in the game thread: He's just too good on both ends of the floor to keep out of the game.
Now this isn't me bashing Mike by any means. I want to make that clear. I just think that George is improved enough and he's just better than Mike/Brandon/Jones at this point. He's so versatile and he's a very good passer for a rookie. Did you see that great dime by him to Hansbrough?
He is great to start against bad teams...
But what the hell... putting him out there vs Dwayne freakin Wade is putting Mike in a position to get him embarrassed and put the whole team at a serious disadvantage. Frank still has a long way to go. Though kudos to Frank for benching Mike to start the 2nd half. I think Mike got upset about that. Notice how he wasn't on the bench for the first half of the 3rd?
In all honesty I just think that he's trying to use a stable rotation. No more contradictions. I agree with you though.. Mike had it really tough (Understatement of the century) against Dwyane Wade.
It was a pain watching Dunleavy tonight. Can't guard anybody it's getting pathetic. Bench Dunleavy, start PG, and use Rush as a backup. I don't care if Rush can't score consistently, the Pacers have enough offense now. Just sit Dunleavy.
Had Dunleavy not started and put on a mind blowing display of his terrible defense, who knows if Wade could've gotten that hot.
If Vogel's short history tells us anything, then we won't have to plea too much to get George to start. At halftime Vogel saw what we saw and did what we would have done in starting George.
S/N: As a rookie Paul George was able to come in the game and play good defense on Wade, and his coach was confident enough in him to let him do so. The future here is very very bright people...
It will be interesting to see Vogel's post-AS break adjustments.
No question about it. Vogel made the adjustment at half-time and Dun only came in to guard James Jones, who isn't exactly a slasher like DWade...
Anyway, Vogel has a gun and coaching is like shooting fish in a barrel. I think the man has mostly aligned with my views except playing Dun against DWade.
BTW, I wouldn't start Dun again. Not another game. No point at all. The team just needs to get out of the way or get on the Paul George bandwagon. His era has started...and that dude ain't no Batman.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
I wish Mike the best, but surely there is some good team in the western conference in need of his high basketball IQ and constant movement, along with a sweet expiring contract. They can sign him back up as a Pacer next year for a Dahntay Jones deal.
Everyone says the next draft is weak, but a draft pick and some young under performing bench warmer would be a nice swap before the trade deadline.
He should have been starting a long time ago. It's time to rid ourselves of the Murphleavy cancer and get on with a new era.
We need better than solid. No JJ Redicks, Andray Blatche, Mike Dunleavy type guys to have big roles on our team.
He's an All-Star caliber player on one of the league's top teams, perennially. That's good enough to make him an honorable mention in the MVP race. Of course, no one really thinks he has a chance to win it, just like we all knew J.O. or Peja or anyone else outside of about four or five players had a legitimate shot at the MVP 5-10 years ago.
??? So......you're saying he's Robin??
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
i heard that.

Anyone ever watched "Deal or No Deal" I'm not one for game shows, but this one is pretty entertaining and different. it is worth watching.

Northrop Grumman rolled out the X-47B UCAS-D (unmanned combat air system-demonstrator) in December 2008 and since then has been busy preparing the first of two vehicles for its maiden flight, expected shortly. Low- and high-speed trials have been completed at Air Force Plant 42, Palmdale, California, where the second X-47B is in final assembly. The first vehicle has been moved to Edwards Air Force Base for high-speed taxi and rejected takeoff trials, in preparation for its first flight.
The X-47B has been funded by the U.S. Navy to demonstrate the feasibility of a carrier-capable unmanned combat air vehicle. Quite apart from the unmanned element, the type's low-observable configuration also presents something of a challenge, especially in terms of approach control, as the X-47 will be the Navy's first tailless carrier aircraft since the days of the Vought Cutlass and Douglas Skyray.
Flight control software has been tested in manned surrogate aircraft, such as the F/A-18 Hornet, including hands-off recoveries, launches and patterns around the carrier. Two Navy carriers have already had the X-47B's mission management system installed so that they are ready for sea trials. Other than that, the X-47B is entirely compatible with existing carrier systems and infrastructure. "The ship sees it just as it would a manned platform," said Gene Fraser, vice president and general manager of NG Aerospace's Advanced Programs and Technology Division.
As a demonstrator for carrier compatibility, the X-47B does not carry any mission-specific sensors and systems, although integration work has been performed on manned testbeds.
The first X-47B vehicle will undertake its initial flight test campaign from Edwards AFB, after which it will transfer to the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division at Patuxent River, Maryland, to undertake carrier compatibility trials. It is due to arrive at NAWCAD next spring, where it will operate from the center's shore-based simulated carrier deck.
Trials at NAWCAD will be conducted in a similar fashion to those of any manned aircraft, including steam ingestion and barrier engagement trials at Lakehurst, New Jersey. A key part of the shore trials are so-called "off-nominal" approaches to the deck, with the aircraft deliberately approaching in varying attitudes and at different speeds and directions. This, in itself, raises some interesting issues. "The airplane just doesn't do off-nominal," explained Fraser. "We have to program it specially to fly these approaches, otherwise it will just fly a perfect glideslope every time."
Beyond UCAS-D
The X-47B demonstrator is the first step toward a carrierborne UCAV. Next comes UCLASS (unmanned carrier launched airborne surveillance and strike). In March, the deputy chief of naval operations (DCNO) issued a request for information dominance, which has drawn responses from a number of companies, including Boeing with a Phantom Ray-based proposal and General Atomics with the Sea Avenger. Northrop Grumman has, of course, responded with a proposal drawing on its X-47 technology and expertise.
The UCLASS RFI covers the provision of four to six vehicles with multi-sensor and weapons capability, and an 11- to 14-hour endurance. They would enter service around 2018 and provide a limited operational capability. More importantly, they will form a stepping stone to a full system design and development program for a carrier-capable UCAS. A Navy response to the UCLASS proposals might come late this year, leading to an RFP.

Will Northwestern bounce back from a difficult loss to Nebraska?
Will the Wildcat offense wake up from its three-week sleepwalk and return to the type of potent attack we are accustomed to seeing in Evanston?
Will the defense be able to cover (no pun intended) for the loss of two cornerbacks, including starter Nick VanHoose?
Those are just some of the questions WildcatReport's staff wrestled with to make our fearless predictions for Saturday's Homecoming game against Iowa.
George "The Glad Hungarian" Stoichev
Northwestern wins if… They wake up on offense. The numbers aren't that bad for NU with scoring at about 30 points per game, but the offense stalls more than a mid-80's Ford. A lot of scoring plays have been quick, explosive strikes. NU needs to eat more yards, burn clock, and continue scoring. Whether that's through the run game or pass game, it doesn't matter. It just needs to happen.
Northwestern loses if… the offense continues to struggle while the defensive line can't get consistent pressure. Let's face it, the secondary is going to be a mess this week and passes will be completed at will. However, that can all be mitigated with a nice pass rush that stifles James Vandenberg's decision making and maybe forces a couple of turnovers. The Cats have to get to the quarterback.
The bottom line… Despite the Nebraska loss, I think the Cats are playing at a higher level than Iowa right now. The Hawkeyes also won't have a week to prepare for the NU O, and their defense is not that stout to begin with. I sense a 2008-like season for NU: 5-0 to start, alternate wins and losses to get to 7-3, end with back-to-back wins for 9-3 and a solid bowl game.
Prediction Northwestern 30 Iowa 20
Alex "Purple" Wayne
Northwestern wins if… Northwestern's defense gobbles up Mark Weisman and Iowa's offense can't seem to find any answers to attack Northwestern's secondary. Iowa's a team that's not feeling as confident than they'd like to, Floyd of Rosedale or not. Weisman's a walkon sensation, and if he gets held to any meager output, then Iowa won't feel like they've got an easy time of it on the road against a program that's answered the challenge against them.
Northwestern loses if… The secondary injuries, particularly to VanHoose, become a real liability. Iowa's passing game doesn't frighten me. It's the idea that the NU defense would be confounded about whether Iowa will run or pass that keeps me from feeling like NU could be caught flat-footed by an Iowa squad as undistinguished as this.
The bottom line… After missing his first attempt, a 53-yarder that the team shouldn't have even needed, Jeff Budzien comes back like a man possessed. He hits three field goals and begs for an opportunity at a 48-yarder, but coach Pat Fitzgerald calms him down as the offense moves back to more snaps with Kain Colter at QB. He runs the offense with more option plays, and Mike Trumpy gets the ball more often on the ground. A long week of passing drills has Tony Jones and Kyle Prater better prepared, and Northwestern finds their groove yet again.
Prediction Northwestern 30 Iowa 27
Danny "Less Is" Moran
Northwestern wins if… Offensive coordinator Mick McCall attempts to establish Colter as a legitimate passing threat. He can't be more inaccurate than Trevor Siemian was last week, and it will open up the running game.
Northwestern loses if… Weisman carries the ball more than 20 times. Each time he has done so this season, he's rushed for over 100 yards.
The bottom line: Northwestern hasn't played a good all-around game since Big Ten season started but are lucky enough to be 2-2. Their luck continues since they have a banged up secondary but will play against Vanderberg. The Wildcats' defense will be able to do just enough to limit the Hawkeyes' scoring and win the field-postion battle in the fourth quarter to take the game.
Prediction: Northwestern 20 Iowa 17
Larry "Kilo" Watts
Northwestern wins if… The defense sets up shop in Iowa's backfield and makes like miserable for Vandenberg while the Wildcat offense can be consistent from start to finish.
Northwestern loses if… Vandenberg has time to pick apart Northwestern's depleted secondary.
The bottom line… This game should come down to the loss of two Iowa offensive linemen and two Northwestern cornerbacks.
Prediction Northwestern 31 Iowa 17
Louie "C.K." Vaccher
Northwestern wins if… The offense is less predictable than an after-school special. Let Colter throw some passes and Siemian hand the ball off once in a while. Right now, everyone in the stadium knows what type of play is coming based on whether No. 2 or No. 13 is taking the snap.
Northwestern loses if… The Wildcats can't put pressure on Vandenberg. He's been having a difficult year, but he will eventually find open receivers against Northwestern's banged-up secondary if the pass rush isn't there.
The bottom line: Northwestern should win this game, period. They are the better team, playing at home, with more to lose. The offense doesn't need to be Oregon -- if they consistently move the chains, the Cats should get the W on Homecoming.
Prediction: Northwestern 26 Iowa 17

Surrounded by classmates, Gio Mendez fawned over two new Ford patrol cars, blasting the sirens and mimicking officers on the microphone.
The eighth-grader at Santiago Charter Middle School stared into what he hopes will be his future.
"I wish I could drive them right now," he said.
Click here to watch the kids at Ford's design studio.
But a year ago, Mendez, 14, was on the verge of joining gang life. He had no problem ditching class, disrespecting teachers and hanging out with the wrong crowd.
That was before he joined the Orange County Gang Reduction and Intervention Partnership, an effort by eight law enforcement agencies to keep kids out of gangs. Now, Mendez is making As and Bs and encourages his peers to respect their teachers.
He was among 100 at-risk elementary and middle school students who visited Ford Motor Company in Irvine Friday morning as a reward for good behavior and staying out of gangs. Ford employees mentored the students from 11 schools for five months, sharing their own stories growing up and teaching them the value of success and hard work.
At the company headquarters, students got a sneak peek into Ford's design center where they shaved clay models and drew new designs on computer tablets. Ford employees unveiled the only models of three concept cars: the sleek, chrome Ford Shelby GR1, the regal Lincoln MKR and the compact Ford START.
Students also met Henry Ford III, great-great grandson of the company's founder, and Mad Mike of MTV's "Pimp My Ride," who shared his own story of taking apart home appliances and hanging out in junkyards when he was young to making a career out of his childhood dreams.
"Learn something, love it, and then do it for the rest of your life," Mike said.

NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- The Treasury Department on Thursday, Sept. 26, announced it plans to launch a third and most likely final sale of General Motors ( GM) stock, as part of a pre-arranged trading plan to cash out its remaining 7.3% stake in the massive auto manufacturer by March, with expectations that those sales will come in at prices that add to taxpayer losses. At issue is a 60.8% stake the government received in the giant auto company in exchange for 912 million shares as part of a 2009 bailout of the firm approved by both the Bush and Obama administrations. The bailout of GM came in response to an expanding financial crisis that looked to be on the verge of consuming the largest U.S. auto companies as well as parts suppliers to the industry. Since then the government has cut its stake to roughly 101.3 million shares and is seeking to cash out its total stake by the end of March. The Treasury Department's assistant secretary for financial stability, Tim Massad, reiterated on Thursday that the investment in GM was a critical part of the government's response to the financial crisis. He added that it "prevented the collapse of the American auto industry and saved more than one million American jobs" However, losses are piling up. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a watchdog organization for the bailout programs, as of June 30, taxpayers' losses in General Motors, from an accounting standpoint, totaled about $9.2 billion. The watchdog estimated that those losses are due to Treasury's sale of GM common shares at prices below its break-even price of $42.52 a share. GM's shares traded around $37 a share on Thursday. It traded at prices between $23 and $38 a share in the past 52 weeks. At the time of SIGTARP's June report, Treasury owned 189 million GM shares. Based on SIGTARP's estimates, Treasury at the time needed to recover an additional $18.8 billion in proceeds from future stock sales to recoup its total investment in the automaker. The watchdog group estimated that Treasury would have had to sell its stake at an average price of $99.51 a share on its remaining common shares to breakeven at that point, not taking into account dividend income and interest payments received from GM.

Controversy has followed the New Zealand coach for most of his short tenure since being appointed to take over from John Wright in July. If he was looking for more 'security' in his role following his last gig, it was sadly misplaced.
Hesson quit as coach of Kenya 11 months into his two-year contract after his young family fell victim to an attempted car-jacking and a grenade exploded near their house in Nairobi. It was an entirely understandable move - Kenya's capital is referred to Nairobbery for good reason.
"There were a number of challenges - dealing with administration and tribal issues and, obviously, security," Hesson said last year. "Some of those experiences were great, some not so good, but certainly very valuable."
He's likely to see the experiences of the last six months as valuable as well - it seems his nature - and he hasn't wavered in his belief that he can coach at the top level and improve a New Zealand side that is at one of its lowest ebbs in history.
"No, not at all," he said this morning without hesitation when asked if he had ever doubted his ability over the last six months.
"It's been a challenging time, the last month in particular, but [I'm] very focused on the World Cup in 2015. We want some clear direction in terms of where we are heading and that's a huge focus for us.
''In terms of test cricket, we have lacked that consistency that has unfortunately affected us for a while and we are still searching for answers there. We have certainly been competitive in the short forms and winning the other day, beating the No 1 side in South Africa, was a nice start to the [one-day component of the] tour."
It was also a good way to help distract attention away from last week's revelations over bowling coach Shane Bond's letter to NZC over concerns about Hesson's handling of the Ross Taylor saga. Hesson had every right to choose the captain he wanted but it was the way he went about it that has caused such angst.
Bond felt compelled to write to NZC chief executive David White on December 11 after Taylor was removed as captain following November's tour to Sri Lanka.
Bond said in the leaked letter he felt Hesson has been "dishonest" in the fallout from Taylor's sacking, that Hesson's timing of his "calculated" removal of Taylor "seemed like sabotage" and was also critical of Hesson's subsequent "cover-up to save face".
Hesson said the pair had met and cleared the air and, like everyone at NZC, are trying to move on. It's been difficult to do that when new twists to the story crop up with amazing regularity.
"When Shane arrived in South Africa, the two of us had a pretty open and honest discussion where we viewed each other's points of view and we agreed that, for the best interests of the team, to move on," Hesson said.
"This was dealt with a number of weeks ago - the day we arrived in South Africa - and Shane and I have worked very well since and will continue to do so."
Hesson said when he was selected from 39 candidates and appointed to the New Zealand position it was his "dream job". The dream, sadly, must have often felt more like a nightmare.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION to Hold 7/29 Talkback
FREUD'S LAST SESSION will feature a post-show talkback discussion with Scott Kelley, Assistant Vice President for Vincentian Scholarship in the Office of Mission and Values and Assistant Professor in the Religious Studies Department at DePaul University, and James Halstead, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at DePaul University, following the 1:00 p.m. performance on Sunday, July 29 at the Mercury Theater, 3745 N. Southport in Chicago.
Winner of the 2011 Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play, the Midwest Premiere of FREUD'S LAST SESSION is now a smash hit in Chicago, having received rave reviews and a Jeff Recommendation. Starring local theater legend, Mike Nussbaum (Emmy, Drama Desk Award, four-time Jeff Award winner, and recent Sarah Siddons Award recipient) as "Sigmund Freud" and Coburn Goss (Vigils at the Goodman Theatre, Dead Man's Cell Phone at Steppenwolf Theatre Company and Off Broadway When the Messenger is Hot at 59E59) as "C.S. Lewis," FREUD'S LAST SESSION has been extended twice and is now currently on sale for performances through September 2.
Scott Kelley is Assistant Vice President for Vincentian Scholarship in the Office of Mission and Values and Assistant Professor in the Religious Studies Department at DePaul University. As a research fellow for the Institute of Business and Professional Ethics, he co-authored Alleviating Poverty through Profitable Partnerships: Globalization, Markets, and Economic Well-Being and has published articles on for-profit contributions that alleviate poverty, the principles of subsidiarity and The Common good from Catholic social thought as they pertain to business, in addition to articles on Vincentian heritage. His research interests include spirituality and ethics, sustainability, and Vincentian Pragmatism. He received a Ph.D. in Theological Ethics from Loyola University Chicago and has taught courses on C.S. Lewis, Business Ethics, Vincentian Storytelling, Spiritual Autobiography, and Developing Sustainable Strategies.
James Halstead is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at DePaul University. He regularly teaches Freud's theories on religion in DePaul's Honors Program where he is a Distinguished Honors Professor. Holding doctorates in religious studies and theology from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, (Louvain), Belgium, his special interest is finding a way between fundamentalisms (religious and secular) and nihilisms (ancient and contemporary) in Western experience.
FREUD'S LAST SESSION is by Mark St. Germain under the direction of Tyler Marchant. Additional productions of FREUD'S LAST SESSION are already set to open into 2013 in major markets across the nation and around the world, including London, Madrid, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Singapore, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. Chris Jones of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE called FREUD'S LAST SESSION "Terrific!" and selected it as "Critic's Choice." The CHICAGO SUN-TIMES hailed it as "Compelling Theater!" THE HUFFINGTON POST exclaimed that the production "Clips Along with Wit and Charm!", WINDY CITY TIMES raved that it is "Intimate, Witty and Thought-Provoking!," and LAKE COUNTY JOURNAL called it "Fascinating, quick-witted, compelling!"
FREUD'S LAST SESSION centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites the rising academic star C. S. Lewis to his home in London. Lewis, expecting to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex, and the meaning of life – only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own. Not just a powerful debate, this is a profound and deeply touching play about two men who boldly addressed the greatest questions of all time. Mark St. Germain's celebrated new play was suggested by the bestselling book The Question of God by Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr., professor of psychology at Harvard University.
There have been an unusually large number of celebrity spottings at FREUD'S LAST SESSION in New York, including such luminaries as Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Neil Simon, Barbara Walters, Richard Gere, Jerry Stiller, Peter Bogdanovich, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, John Cleese, Patricia Heaton, Cornel West, Christiane Amanpour, Marcia Gay Harden, John Kander, Andy Rooney, Dick Cavett, Frank Oz, Dr. Ruth (5 times!), Peter Shaffer, The Amazing Kreskin, Celeste Holm, Victoria Jackson, TR Knight, Dan Lauria, Scott Adsit, and Tina Louise. Additionally, Chicago news anchor Ron Magers had a session.
Playwright Mark St. Germain has written the plays Camping with Henry and Tom (Outer Critics Circle and Lucille Lortel Awards), The Best of Enemies, Out of Gas on Lover's Leap, and Forgiving Typhoid Mary. With Randy Courts, he has written the musicals The Gifts of the Magi, Johnny Pye and the Foolkiller and Jack's Holiday. TV credits include Writer and Creative Consultant for The Cosby Show. Mark co-wrote the screenplay for the acclaimed film Duma, and he directed and co-produced the documentary My Dog: An Unconditional Love Story featuring Richard Gere, Glenn Close and Edward Albee, among many others
Mike Nussbaum has directed and acted in Chicago theaters for more than fifty years, originating roles in David Mamet's: American Buffalo, Life in the Theatre, Glengarry Glen Ross, and others. He appeared in the Peter Brook production of The Cherry Orchard, which opened in New York and toured Russia and Japan. He has worked on and off-Broadway, and in Dublin, Vancouver, The Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford, England, and theatres across the United States including Hartford Stage, Lincoln Center, Manhattan Theatre Club, Atlantic Theater Company, Theatre J, and Roundabout. Shakespeare roles include Polonius, Shylock, Friar Lawrence, and John of Gaunt at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Film credits include House of Games, Fatal Attraction, Field of Dreams, and Men in Black. His work has been honored with an Emmy, Drama Desk Award and Sarah Siddons Award, and by the Jefferson Committee, DePaul University, The Illinois Legend Award, and The University Club of Chicago.
Coburn Goss has acted at numerous ChicaGo Productions including the world premiere of Vigils and The Crowd You're In With at the Goodman Theatre; Fake, Dead Man's Cell Phone, When the Messenger is Hot, The Royal Family and Absolution at Steppenwolf Theatre Company; Dying City and The Boarding House at Next Theatre Company; The Seagull at Writers' Theatre; and A Whistle in the Dark and Journey's End at Seanachaí Theatre.

Eating less meat might help women avoid a common pregnancy problem. Up to 10% of women develop gestational diabetes while they're pregnant. This means they have high blood sugar during the pregnancy, even though they've never had diabetes.
In a new study, researchers included more than 13,000 women who had a baby over a 10-year period. More than 800 developed gestational diabetes.
Women whose diets were higher in animal fat had a higher risk of this problem. Those who ate the most animal fat were 88% more likely to develop gestational diabetes. More cholesterol in the diet was also linked to a higher risk.
Women who make changes to their diet now could help protect themselves from this problem during a pregnancy down the road. According to the researchers, shifting just 5% of your calories from animal fat to plant foods may lower your risk by 7%.
If you're planning to get pregnant, it's a good idea to visit your doctor to discuss other things you can do now to lower your risk of gestational diabetes and other problems during pregnancy.

Within the Individual Program of Study, qualified students may design an Independent Study. This Independent Study provides students the opportunity to create and conduct largely self-designed research projects in collaboration with the Education Program faculty.
Independent Study (B EDUC 592) does not exist as an alternative to the curriculum; rather, it serves as a supplement to enable students the opportunity for a creative self-directed project. Only students who have demonstrated adequate preparation by their grades and previous coursework in the area of their proposed project may consider Independent Study.
Prior to registration, interested students must also speak with a faculty member and obtain his or her willingness to sponsor the proposed Independent Study.
Students who wish to include Independent Study as part of their Individual Program of Study should submit a proposal to a faculty member for approval. This Independent Study proposal should include the (1) title, (2) purpose of the proposed project, (3) detailed outline of planned tasks, (4) theory and methods to be used, and a (5) bibliography of appropriate sources.
Students who receive permission to conduct an Independent Study project should anticipate spending at least three hours per credit, per week (minimum of nine hours per week for a 3-credit Independent Study) on the project.
Students may take from 1-6 credits of Independent Study at any one time with a maximum of 12 credits.
Students may elect to take appropriate courses in other academic programs, especially where such coursework will contribute to their degree goals.
Students may take up to 12 credits of coursework at another University of Washington campus. Among the rich possibilities at the University of Washington Seattle are courses in the Arts or Sciences or various special programs for teachers.
Students enrolled in the UWB Master of Education Program may take a maximum of 12 credits toward their graduate degree at another UW campus, subject to two conditions:
For each requested course at another UW campus, students must submit a petition to their advisor and, if approved, to the Graduate Program Coordinator prior to registration, listing the academic reasons justifying enrollment in the requested course.
Students also have the option of taking graduate courses at institutions other than the University of Washington. Students must submit a petition to their advisor and Graduate Program Coordinator prior to registration, listing the academic reasons justifying enrollment in the requested course. A copy of the course description and syllabus must be included with the petition to determine that it meets the standards of a graduate level course.
This petition form is the same for those students who want to take courses at another UW campus or another institution.
A student working toward the master's degree may submit an online petition via MyGrad to the Dean of the Graduate School for permission to transfer the equivalent of a maximum 6 credits of graduate level coursework taken at another recognized academic institution. These credits may not have been used to satisfy requirements for another degree. The petition must include an official transcript indicating completion of the coursework.
Approved transfer credits are applied toward the total credit count only for the master's degree and will not appear on a UW transcript. The minimum residency requirement of three quarters at the UW Bothell and 18 quarter credits of numerically graded coursework at the 500 and above level, may not be reduced by transfer credit.
Credit taken as an undergraduate non-matriculated student or post-baccalureat student at the University of Washington may not be transferred into a graduate program. Credits by either independent study through correspondence, distance learning, or advanced credit examinations is not transferable.
To maintain graduate status, a student must be enrolled on a full-time, part-time, or on official leave from the time of first enrollment in the Graduate School until completion of all requirements for the graduate degree. (Summer quarter an official leave request is not required for all graduate students who were either registered or officially on leave during the prior Spring Quarter.) Any student who fails to register for classes or request leave status after being admitted to the UW will need to reapply to the Graduate School if he/she wishes to be considered for readmission by his/her program. Failure to maintain either continuous enrollment or official leave status constitutes evidence that the student has resigned from the Graduate School.
To be eligible for official leaves, the student must have registered for, and completed at least one quarter as a graduate student at the University of Washington immediately prior to going on-leave; international students must complete three consecutive quarters.
Students should discuss their decision to petition for on-leave status with their Faculty Advisor. Petition for On-leave Status forms are available in the Education Program office.
New Policy:
UW graduate students must now request leave on a quarterly basis (excluding Summer quarter). A request for quarterly leave includes a $25 fee. This means, students must request leave each quarter they are not enrolled in classes, excluding summer quarter, or they will lose graduate status.
New Procedure:
Graduate Students in good standing may request leave within the quarter they are seeking leave status via an online process available through MyGrad. The online leave request will be available 2 weeks prior to the quarter and will close the last day of the quarter.
Students will submit leave requests via MyGrad and can pay the $25 fee using a credit card with no surcharge. Requests can be tracked online in MyGrad.
Please note: Students who do not remain in graduate status will be required to pay a $250 reinstatement fee mandated by the Board of Regents if they elect to return to their degree program.
UW graduate students must now request leave on a quarterly basis. For details, see Maintaining Graduate Student Status.

I'd picked this hand knotted wool rug up at a local Flea Market a while back as I thought the graphics were interesting and the price was right. It got rolled up and put away a storage room and I'd never really looked closely at it. When I was doing some spring cleaning it got pulled out with a bunch of other stuff. I put it out on the lawn to air out and was moving on to other stuff when my 8 year old grandson asked where the Santa Claus rug came from. I had no idea what he was talking about so I asked "what Santa Claus rug"? He responded the one on the lawn. I then re-examined the rug (this time from a distance) and sure enough it is a Christmas scene with Santa (and I think his elves). I was hoping someone could tell me the best way to clean it(or have it cleaned) and also see if anyone could pass along any other information on it (age, rarity, etc. ). It's 33" wide x 46" long. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Nov. 4, 2010 David Thorpe ESPN.com
Summer league and preseason play can serve an important purpose for rookies: Letting them know where they're going right, and where they're going wrong.
From the looks of the first few NBA games, this year's rookie class has some outstanding students -- guys who have already learned from their past mistakes.
Here's our first look at which rookies have jumped out of the starting gate at full speed.
Hollinger's stats: Rookie leaders
1. John Wall, Wizards | Rookie card
Throughout summer league, preseason and Washington's first regular-season game, Wall looked like he was shooting jump shots on roller skates. He landed and drifted every time, with no lower-body balance at all.
Frustrated, he went to work on this on his off day, then unleashed a much better-looking shot in the second half of his next game. He tallied 12 points on perimeter jumpers in the half. If he can maintain the form he showed, his jump shot will be a legit threat for him all season. Consider the fact that Derrick Rose needed a few months to get his midrange jumper in check, and Tyreke Evans is still working out his kinks from the perimeter in his second year, and yet both had terrific rookie seasons.
2. Blake Griffin, Clippers | Rookie card
In Griffin's case, it's less about lessons learned and more about his bottled-up frustration from missing an entire year due to injury. He unleashed his power and grace from the first minute of the first game and has not stopped. I love that he not only plays with force, but also makes plays above the rim. That's a rare talent, and one he exhibits frequently.
Not only can he win the rookie of the year award, he could possibly be an All-Star this season, which says a lot about him considering all of the talented power forwards in the West. The quicker Baron Davis realizes he has a special talent on his roster, the faster the Clippers will return to relevance.
3. Derrick Favors, Nets | Rookie card
If we handed out an award for "Most Improved Player from July to Halloween," Favors would be the easy winner. He showed almost nothing in summer league and preseason, but had two strong efforts in New Jersey's first two games (both wins) by rebounding and finishing buckets in the paint.
If he excelled in only those two areas for the rest of the season, he'd be seen as an enormous success. Remember, he turned 19 during summer league and is playing a man's position. We know he's going to be an effective pick-and-pop shooter, but there are plenty of guys who can do that. Playing alongside a talent like Brook Lopez will allow him to focus on being complementary in his role, and he's off to a great start.
4. DeMarcus Cousins, Kings | Rookie card
All season long I suspect we'll be hearing about how good Cousins is going to be one day based on his upside. But with his size and prodigious game, the future is as much about today as it is down the road, simply because he can impact games now.
He's such a natural scorer. On top of that, he's not afraid to take big shots and he's able to make very tough shots. As long as he's plugged into his team's game plan and connected to his coaches and teammates, he can't help being successful. Thus far, it's all smiles in Sacramento.
5. Landry Fields, Knicks | Rookie card
Some would wrongly assume that Fields has fit right in at this level from day one of summer league because he's a four-year college player. But the fact of the matter is most four-year college players don't make the NBA. So what Fields has been doing is impressive indeed.
Fields has earned a starting guard position for the Knicks, and his willingness to do more than just shoot and score will ensure rotation minutes for him far into the future. It's nice that he averaged 11 points in his first three games, but I love that he grabbed 18 total rebounds in tough games against Portland and Boston. Rebounding is a weakness for the Knicks, and his efforts have kept them beyond respectable in that area.
6. Armon Johnson, Blazers | Rookie card
Johnson is playing his way into a strong Portland rotation with excellent defense and energy. There are people in Portland who think his surprising play is what paved the way for the Blazers to trade a lottery talent like Jerryd Bayless.
7. James Anderson, Spurs | Rookie card
Solid. Solid. Solid. That's what I see when I watch him play, on both ends. In San Antonio, no defense means no playing time if you're a youngster. Anderson plays defense the right way, with his head and his heart. As an added bonus, he's made five of his 10 3-pointers.
8. Eric Bledsoe, Clippers | Rookie card
After barely playing in the Clippers' first two games, Bledsoe replaced an injured Baron Davis and showed his considerable upside and incredible athleticism. His 17-point, eight-rebound game sparked their big upset over OKC on Wednesday.
9. Wesley Johnson, Timberwolves | Rookie card
Johnson started the season confident in his ability to make perimeter shots. Of his first 30 shots (10 each in Minnesota's first three games), 19 had been from 16 feet or further. However, he made just five of them, including making only 2 of 10 from behind the arc.
As he learns to attack more and settle for long jumpers less -- he has shown the ability to make special plays with his athleticism -- his productivity and efficiency should increase.
10. Evan Turner, 76ers | Rookie card
The best thing about Turner's start is that he's been better than he was during summer league and preseason. He's still struggling as a shooter and scorer, but Turner was the No. 2 pick and the best player in college because of his ability to impact games in a variety of ways.
He's doing a nice job on the glass and as a playmaker, and had just four turnovers in Philly's first three games (compared to 10 assists). I'd like to see him look to make more plays on defense, though.
Honorable mention: Paul George, Pacers | Rookie card
George, who can easily fall into being just a scorer, has provided a decent all-around dimension to the Pacers that the team was hoping for when they drafted him. It's great that he made four of eight 3-pointers in the team's first two wins, but even better that he also grabbed seven boards and dished out four assists in those games.
It's worth noting that on David Thorpe's Rookie Top 50 list that he has George ranked 13th, behind #12 Nikola Pekovic(Wolves) and #11 Gary Neal(Spurs). The top ten is listed above. Lance Stephenson is ranked #43 and here is what Thorpe says....."He might be young, but he showed better shot selection than anyone else I saw these past two weeks. He missed only eight shots in four games and still averaged almost 15 points per game (it would have been more had he played more than eight minutes in his last game). He did this all while playing a lot of minutes at the point guard spot, which was an experiment that turned out to be a successful one. I loved how competitive he was as well." - July 23, 2010

Pharmacy and Medications
Steroids in Anti-TB Drugs
I want to know whether the following ATDs being administered for treatment of Spine TB contain any steroids. I would like to mention here that my mother is being treated for Tuberculosis of the spine (MRI report suggests Early Caries of D12 and L1 vertebrae). The medicines being taken are:
Streptomycin Intra muscular Injection 0.75 Combutol 1000 mg Isokin 300 Mg Moxif 400 mg Benadon 40g
None of the medications taken by your mother contain steroids. Streptomycin and moxifloxacin (Moxif) are both antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis and other serious bacterial infections. Ethambutol (Combutol) and isoniazid (Isokin) are medications used to treat tuberculosis that work by harming the bacteria that cause tuberculosis and fighting the infection. Pyridoxine (Benadon) is vitamin B-6 and is used in tuberculosis patients on isoniazid to prevent seizures.

Texas Deer Season Shaping Up To Be Best in Years
AUSTIN, Texas – With more than 83 million acres of available deer range, there is plenty of opportunity for Texas white-tailed deer to roam. And with so much of that country in ideal condition, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists suggest hunters may have to cover more ground than they are accustomed to in order to be successful this fall.
The good news is there are more than 4 million white-tailed deer in the Lone Star State and thanks to excellent range conditions; they should be in great shape with above-average antler development and high body weights.
The white-tailed deer is arguably the number one game animal in Texas, attracting more than 500,000 hunters and more than $2.5 billion annually. Many small communities in the Hill Country and South Texas receive a good portion of their annual economic base from hunting. Llano County, for example, plays host to more than 15,000 hunters who contribute more than $3.5 million to the area economy.
The general deer season opens Nov. 6 statewide, except for a few counties in the Panhandle, marking the first time in many years that the North and South Zones share the opener. The North Zone closes Jan. 2, while the South Zone continues for two additional weeks, ending Jan. 16. Special Youth-Only seasons are set for Oct. 30-31 and Jan. 15-16 statewide.
"This is the best year I've seen," said TPWD white-tailed deer program leader Mitch Lockwood. "The last couple of years we had good summer rainfall, which helped set the table for the fall, but this year we had an exceptional spring as well. Many ranchers are saying range conditions are the best in 20 years, and some of the old-timers I know also claim this is the best year they have ever seen."
While favorable weather conditions have certainly helped Texas' deer herd, it may not have done any favors for hunters who rely heavily on supplemental feeding regimes, according to Lockwood. "I expect we'll have a good supply of cool-season forbs and the acorn crop is exceptional throughout most of the state, which means deer are going to be less likely to come to a feeder. You might have to get out of those blinds and do it the old-fashioned way – rattling horns and stalking."
Hunters on lands intensively managed for wildlife should see even greater rewards with improved antler growth and body weights, Lockwood noted, but will no doubt have to work that much harder to take their deer due to lush habitat conditions. "The successful hunter will be the one who gets out and hunts extensively," he stressed.
Although few changes were made to this year's deer hunting regulations, those hunters on managed lands should welcome one alteration. The TPW Commission has eliminated the need for "double tagging" on certain properties. According to the new rules now in effect, hunters who take deer on properties holding deer permits that require permit tagging, such as Managed Lands Deer Permits, Landowner Assisted Management Permits or on TPWD-drawn public hunts would not have to use a deer tag from their hunting license. What this means for affected hunters and landowners is less redundant paperwork and a simpler tagging system. It also means bonus deer tags are no longer needed.
The new rule also means hunters who purchase their license by phone or online will not have to wait for the actual paper hunting license to be mailed to them before they can hunt deer on lands using deer permits. The authorization number given at the time of purchase will do until the actual license arrives in the mail.
Following is a region-by-region outlook for the upcoming deer season as compiled by TPWD wildlife biologists.
South Texas
Above-average and timely rains throughout the 2004 summer ensured adequate to good ground moisture for much of South Texas, according to Alice-based wildlife biologist Daniel Kunz. "Consequently, range and habitat conditions remain good to excellent," he explained. "Some areas have seen vegetation and grass cover stay green throughout the summer. Cover remains in excellent shape for concealing deer. This reduced visibility may additionally impact hunters early this hunting season."
Acorns and other mast crops are available in abundance this year, according to Kunz, who added that some mesquites still have beans that should drop soon.
South Texas district biologist Joe Herrera in Pleasanton reported deer are in good to excellent shape throughout the brush country, even the does with twin fawns. Antler growth is also exceptional this year with many yearling bucks and quality young deer observed by his field staff.
Edwards Plateau
"You couldn't ask for a better year as far as rainfall," exclaimed Max Traweek, TPWD's district biologist for the Hill Country, "and that's going to show up in quality on those areas practicing good habitat management."
The Hill Country remains overpopulated with deer for the most part, however, most of the herd should be in good physical condition. "The bucks had a good start on antler growth because of some good late winter and early spring rains," said Traweek.
Traweek expects that deer may be harder to come by early in the season due to an above-average acorn crop, which will keep deer movement to a minimum.
Blackland Prairie
North-Central Texas has been blessed with ample rainfall this year and some areas have been blessed more than others, noted Kevin Mote, TPWD district biologist in Brownwood. A number of intensive rainstorms bringing more than eight inches during a 24-hour period have been reported throughout the district during the spring and summer months.
"If you hunted deer in North Texas last year, you probably experienced tough hunting conditions due to much-improved habitat conditions," said Mote. "Plenty of food, water, and cover meant deer didn't have to move much. Last year had the potential to be a great habitat-building year for those managers that were mindful of limiting livestock and deer numbers. This year is no different."
Improved habitat conditions last year, which included a bumper acorn crop, may have resulted in fewer deer coming to the feeder. Take heart, they are still there and the bucks are a year older, said Mote. "Plentiful rains in 2004 should help antler development as well as fawn production," he noted. "The downside is two years of high fawn production may require increased doe harvest early in the season to keep the population at or below winter carrying capacity of the habitat."
Trans Pecos
Ever since last fall, far West Texas has been getting timely rain and that's a significant improvement from recent years, according to Alpine-based district biologist Mike Hobson. "We anticipate this mule deer season will be a really good year," he said. "The problem hunters will face is that when you have lush vegetation, especially out here in the desert country, but it's going to be difficult for hunters to find the deer. Deer don't move nearly as much to fill their bellies when conditions are lush like they are now."
This year's mast crop in East Texas is looking pretty good, not a bumper crop, but extensive enough to provide a mainstay food source for deer and because the acorns are falling early. Jasper-based district biologist Gary Calkins believes hunters should not expect to see much activity around feeders.
Despite a mid-summer dry spell, current range conditions are excellent, thanks to recent rainfall, according to Calkins. "Those conditions will make hunting tougher as deer won't be moving around as much because of all the food," he added, "but the abundance of browse will put the deer in outstanding shape. From the deer we're seeing in our spotlight census surveys, body conditions are still good even with does carrying twins."
A change in the regulations this year has created a four-day doe season in eight East Texas counties where the current antlerless harvest is by permit only. Counties with doe days Nov. 25-28 include: Brazos, Cherokee, Gregg, Grimes, Houston, Madison, Robertson and Rusk counties.
"All the data we looked at going into that regulation discussion showed a skewed sex ratio (too many does per buck)," said Calkins. "We're still overpopulated in some areas and when you add in this year's big fawn crop on top of that, the timing for this regulation change was pretty good."
Post Oak Savannah
"We had a lot of late summer rains and early fall rains, so conditions are good," noted David Sierra, Sulphur Springs-based district biologist. "The acorns are already dropping so it'll make it tough for hunters early on in the season."
Deer body weights should be in good condition due to above-average habitat throughout most of the Post Oak, he noted.
Several of the counties receiving four doe days this year are in the Post Oak and according to Sierra, even though these new opportunities are pretty conservative, they will be beneficial to hunters. "It will give the youth who are out for the holidays a chance to take a doe when they normally couldn't."
Coastal Prairies
Bob Carroll in LaGrange said he has been amazed at the shift in attitudes among hunters and landowners during the last couple of years as a result of the experimental buck harvest regulations in place in six counties in the area between Houston and Austin. "The attitudes of hunters and landowners alike are very positive," he noted. "They are excited about what they see heading into the third season under this experiment."
Carroll expects hunters will likely see more bucks that meet the harvest restrictions this year because of good range conditions and the limited harvest on younger deer during the last two seasons, which has shifted the bulk of the hunting pressure from year-and-a-half old bucks those more than 3 years old.
Range conditions for whitetails and mule deer look excellent, and the majority of the district has had well above-average rainfall, said Canyon-based district biologist Danny Swepston. "We're seeing some really good bucks during our spotlight surveys. For the first time in many years, the rainfall has been spread out."
One of the big things hunters will notice during the early part of the season is the presence of deer cover and with the good range conditions deer may not come to feeders. "They're also not coming to the winter wheat because there's so much native browse to eat, but once we get that first freeze it should start pushing them into the fields," he noted.

Bourn easing into running in hamstring rehab
DETROIT -- While the Indians opened their second-half schedule in Detroit on Friday, center fielder Michael Bourn stayed home in Cleveland to focus on his recovery from the latest setback involving his left hamstring.
Prior to Friday's game against Detroit, Indians manager Terry Francona noted that Bourn has initiated running activity on an anti-gravity treadmill, which reduces stress on the legs. Bourn is scheduled to resume light running drills under normal conditions soon.
"He's been running on the alter-G," Francona said. "That's the treadmill where you take some of the weight off. In the next few days, he'll transition into land-based stuff. He'll join us in Minnesota [on Monday]."
Bourn, 31, was placed on the 15-day disabled list on July 6, meaning he is technically eligible to be activated on Sunday. Cleveland has already made it known, however, that Bourn's comeback from the left hamstring injury could last until late July and possibly into August.
It is the same hamstring that Bourn had surgically repaired in October, but both the team and center fielder have noted that the current issue involves a different area. Bourn also dealt with a left hamstring injury during Spring Training, and he missed time in May with tightness in the same leg.
Through 66 games this season, Bourn had hit .267/.316/.379 with three home runs, nine doubles, seven triples, seven stolen bases, 21 RBIs and 37 runs scored for Cleveland. In the 13 games prior to landing on the 15-day DL, the center fielder hit .283 (.828 OPS) with six extra-base hits and six runs scored.

Talks are underway between the Pawnee Assisted Living Hotel and an Omaha developer who specializes in restoring historical buildings.
Foley was at the Pawnee June 17 to meet with executive director Sandy Schade, board president Kathy Jo Smith and key staff members.
Foleys company has financed the renovation of buildings in four states, including such cities as Omaha, Denver and Hastings, plus communities in Iowa and Kansas.
Foley said the 83-year-old Pawnee Hotel could be completely restored. Rooms could be enlarged for residents and the historical features preserved and protected.
His company, Central States Development LLC, specializes in renovating buildings for low income and special needs residents. Central States utilizes tax credits, affordable housing grants and tax increment financing where applicable.
The Pawnee is home to 40 emotionally and mentally disabled people with special needs.
Since 1998, Foleys company has arranged financing for more than 20 building renovations, creating nearly 1,000 living units for the homeless, disabled, elderly and people on low incomes, the company said.
Central States partners with non-profit service providers to create affordable housing for persons with various special needs, Foley said.
The companys niche fits the Pawnee operation.
Director Sandy Schade said the Pawnee is suffering financially. The biggest challenges come from the building itself, which requires more and more maintenance.
For more than a year, the assisted living operation has struggled to operate.
Most residents receive about $1,100 a month from Medicaid which pays the hotel for room, board and basic medical needs.
The operation has seldom if ever been profitable. In 2011, its tax report showed a 3.8 percent loss, and Schade said the situation has not improved since.
Financial struggles became obvious last summer when paychecks were chronically late. At about the same time, Nebraska Health and Human Services inspectors found sanitation and maintenance problems throughout the operation. Several residents left and the dwindling staff struggled.
Inspectors returned weekly for inspections and in August, they said some medications were improperly administered, some carpets were torn and dirty and there were bugs in an upstairs hallway.
The HHS officially revoked the assisted living operating license in October, pending an appeal.
In December, the 83-year-old boilers quit working and the staff scrambled to set up temporary heaters. Overhead pipes broke on the second and fourth floors.
During a 45-day period from late November to early January, another 20 residents moved out.
But Schade and the staff endured. They set up heaters and openly discussed the challenges.
In March, the HHS reinstated the hotels license to provide assisted living care. A hearing officer found no further deficiencies and said the staff had made a good faith effort to improve.
For the first time in 10 months, in May the hotel was allowed to accept a handful of residents. Schade said there were 25 inquiries.
The need is there, she said.
Schade has received offers from volunteers who want to help replace carpets and do minor repairs in the building. She said she needs help with accounting.
Schade said the hotel provides single rooms something rare in mental health care, making it a good fit for many residents. It has provided assisted living care for more than a decade.
Foley said a list of financial reports would need to be completed before funds could be lined up for restoration.
He challenged Schade and the board to improve the operation.
You can beat things if you want to, Foley said.
