text: New policy puts EpiPens in schools By Mackenzie Mays October 15, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A new state policy would put free EpiPens in all West Virginia schools and allow any student who suffers a severe allergic reaction -- regardless of whether they have a prescription -- to receive the emergency injection.The policy, proposed by the West Virginia Department of Education last week, removes restraints from the state's current medication administration policy and not only allows schools to stock epinephrine auto-injectors for the general student body, but also trains teachers to administer the drug.EpiPens -- the most common self-injectable form of epinephrine -- contain adrenaline and treat anaphylaxis: a life-threatening, body-wide allergic reaction.The pens can immediately reduce hives and swelling and open constricted airways long enough so a person can reach medical assistance.But under the current state policy, if a student were to have a severe allergic reaction while at school, whether that be because of peanuts or a bee sting, that student is not allowed to receive an EpiPen injection if he or she does not have a prior diagnosis and prescription.That means if a student has a reaction to an unknown allergy and there is no nurse around, all school administrators can do is call 911 and wait -- regardless of whether there are EpiPens in the school prescribed for other students."In rural West Virginia, this is huge because by the time we do get emergency services to respond, it could be too late," said Becky King, a registered nurse who oversees the state Department of Education's health programs. "It puts schools in a bad situation. We're just always taught not to use other people's medicine. What if we did use it, and right after that, something happens to the child who actually had the prescription?""This will provide us with medications that aren't assigned to anyone -- they're just for those who may have an anaphylactic reaction."The policy is up for public comment until Nov. 9, and will not be a statewide mandate, but will instead allow each county school district to choose if they want to participate in the EpiPen program. Across the nation in recent months, there's been a push for universal access to EpiPens following tragic stories of student deaths caused by allergic reactions.Just last month, a middle school student in Texas died while playing football after an allergic reaction to fire ants.Thirty states now allow schools to keep undesignated epinephrine for emergencies, but only four states -- Virginia, Maryland, Nebraska and Nevada -- actually require it.West Virginia was the ninth state to push for the legislation, according to King."Many of the states that have passed the EpiPen law do it after a child has died, and that's their reaction," state Board of Education President Gayle Manchin said during a meeting last week. "The fact that West Virginia was proactive and did it before they had to lose a child is great. It's a safety factor." If approved, West Virginia's policy would be effective no later than December, King said. The new EpiPen4Schools program, sponsored by Mylan Laboratories Inc., allows every school to have up to four EpiPens at no cost.The policy also would allow teachers, secretaries and other aides to receive training from nurses about how to inject the EpiPen and identify symptoms of anaphylactic shock. Before, teachers could step in to administer the injections to diagnosed students, but had not been properly trained, King said.One in 13 children under the age of 18 has food allergies, and a significant portion of severe allergic reactions that occur at school are among students with no prior allergy diagnosis, according to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE.)King said those numbers are only growing."Allergies have definitely increased over the years. ... Luckily, we've been blessed in the sense that we're taking a more proactive stance," she said. "Education is the key with any allergy. We don't want to create an environment that is allergen-free because we know that's not going to happen in the real world. ... So we want to create allergy awareness."While the policy is new for the state, it's something school nurses have been pushing for years, King said. Nurses, like King, have simple advice: "Don't hesitate.""I think that there's hesitation ... but epinephrine is more of a benefit than anything. Give the EpiPen immediately because you just never know," she said. "In four minutes, you could have brain damage and airway obstruction ... and your body ends up closing down and eventually you die."Reach Mackenzie Mays at email@example.com or 304-348-4814.

Yes, this is a fairly common response. Nevertheless, deconstruction need not be narcissistic and can accommodate a diverse spectrum of individuals who consensually accept some basis for investigation and analysis which doesn't require appeal to esoteric texts or occult knowledge.

In my opinion, to say that these considerations require measurement rather than judgment is to distort the words measurement and judgment out of all usefulness.

A bare wall was exposed in 2011 when the old homeless shelter was demolished between Sixth and Fifth streets on Jeffers St.
It creates a dismal contrast with the relatively new historic clock on the corner of Sixth and Jeffers, donated by North Platte Rotarians.
The wall was exposed in August 2011 after the demolition. Plans got underway to transform the lot into a mini-park of some kind, with a tribute to North Plattes Old Editor Keith Blackledge.
But the much-discussed renovation of the vacant lot is stalled, even though about $8,500 has been raised, said Eric Seacrest of the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation.
The wall was damaged during the demolition. Alan Hirshfeld, one of the owners of the building, said he is still trying to recover damages from the demolition and is reluctant to proceed.
City Administrator Jim Hawks told the Bulletin he hopes to put together a plan to renovate the lot within a month or so.
The wall would be better if it were cleaned and a simple sign pointed to Downtown east toward the shops, offices and the playhouse on the brick streets.
Meanwhile, it is an eyesore. It earns a thumbs down from the Bulletin.
On the other hand, nearby, a simple lettered "Art Gallery" sign on a brick wall tells motorists where the Art and Gift Gallery is located.
The simple, functional sign was inexpensive, utilizing materials at hand, but fulfilled an important role.
It earns a thumbs up.

Brewers to begin choosing Fall League players
ST. PETERSBURG -- Now that the Brewers know with whom their Arizona Fall League participants will be teamed, they can begin the complicated process of choosing which prospects will actually play in the circuit, which has long proven a springboard to the big leagues.
The Brewers have been assigned to the Glendale Desert Dogs with farmhands from the Orioles, White Sox, Tigers and Dodgers. Double-A Huntsville pitching coach Chris Hook will serve on the Desert Dogs' staff.
Now comes the tricky part.
"There will probably be conference calls for the first 15 days of August to figure out who is going to play," said Brewers senior director of baseball operations Tom Flanagan, who has been part of those calls in the past with farm director Reid Nichols and other club officials. "It starts with determining priority positions for each team, and then you build around that."
Players at those priority positions are ensured greater playing time. Last year, it was outfielder Mitch Haniger, whose strong performance helped get him to Major League Spring Training camp. This year, it could be another outfielder, Brewers No. 2 prospect Tyrone Taylor, though that has yet to be finalized.
"Pitching is fine, there are enough spots," Flanagan said. "But if another team says, 'Our priority guy is a shortstop,' chances are you don't want to send a shortstop. … There's strategy involved to make sure the guy gets the most out of the experience."
The six-team Arizona Fall League begins play Oct. 7 with one new venue: The Cubs' new Spring Training home in Mesa

CINDERELLA, MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR, and CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF Set for African-American Shakespeare Company 2012-13 Season
San Francisco's African-American Shakespeare Company has announced the lineup for its 18th season. The season marks African-American Shakespeare Company's third season under the artistic leadership of acclaimed actor and director L. Peter Callender. The season opens in December with an enchanting holiday production of CINDERELLA; this new take on the timeless fairytale has become a seasonal favorite for families and children of all ages. The season continues in March with William Shakespeare's quintessential comedy MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR. Closing the season in April is Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize-winning CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF. Productions will be staged at the Buriel Clay Theater at the African American Art & Culture Complex in San Francisco. Subscriptions for the 2012-13 season go on sale May 12.
"I am thrilled to bring this ambitious season to our audiences," said African-American Shakespeare Company Artistic Director L. Peter Callender. "Our goal for 2012-13 is to present something new, funny, and vibrant, something our audiences may not have seen before, give it a new face and serve it up with a bit of spice and elegance. Staying true to our vision of re-imagining the classics with color, we offer this season as a thank you to our subscribers, Bay Area actors of color, Bay Area schools, and our community at large. We look forward to seeing everyone at the theater!"
CINDERELLA Runs December 7-23, 2012.
San Francisco's African-American Shakespeare Company opens the 2012-13 season with an enchanting new production of CINDERELLA. This timeless tale, brought to whimsical, magical life just in time for the holidays, is an uplifting re-telling of the classic fairytale, featuring all of the pageantry, hilarity, and charm of the original, but with a soulful twist. This heartwarming story finds Cinderella, a young, beautiful dreamer, toiling away as a lowly scullery maid for her evil stepmother and stepsisters. With the help of a fabulous Fairy Godmother who makes the magic happen, Cinderella finds her Prince Charming and learns that anything is possible, even miracles.
THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR By William Shakespeare Runs March 2-24, 2013.
Celebrating one of Shakespeare's most beloved characters and infamous skirt-chasers, THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR reunites audiences with the ever-merry, ever-scheming character Sir John Falstaff from Shakespeare's history plays King Henry IV, Part 1 and King Henry IV, Part 2, this time at the center of a comedy of his own. THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR chronicles the exploits of Falstaff who, down on luck and money, tries to swindle two seemingly-simple housewives. But the joke is on him when the Mistresses Ford and Page catch on to Falstaff's seduction scheme and teach him a lesson with some mischief of their own.
African-American Shakespeare Company's production, re-set in the 1960's in the shared back yards of a city neighborhood, adopts the style of the popular urban black theater movement known as the "Chitlin Circuit."
CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF By Tennessee Williams runs April 27-May 19, 2013.
Closing African-American Shakespeare Company's 18th season is a scintillating new interpretation of Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize-winning play CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, which investigates the lengths people will go to protect themselves and their loved ones. Maggie Pollitt is a young Southern wife doing everything she can to save her marriage to Brick, a one-time football star who continues to live, miserably, off his former glory. A series of explosive secrets, lies, and betrayals are revealed as Maggie and Brick join the rest of the Pollitts to celebrate family patriarch Big Daddy's birthday.
One of Williams's best-known works, and one of his favorite plays, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF originally opened on Broadway in 1955 under the direction of Elia Kazan; the play was made into a classic film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, and was recently revived on Broadway featuring an all-black cast.
African-American Shakespeare Company was introduced in 1994 to create an opportunity and a venue for actors of color to hone their skills and talent in mastering some of the world's greatest classical roles. The company is dedicated to producing classic stage works from an African-American cultural perspective, providing opportunities and accessibility for minority artists and their communities to view these works in a manner that is inclusive of their cultural heritage. African-American Shakespeare Company has produced over 30 productions, toured to over 97 schools, and reached over 105,000 patrons through its main stage productions and arts education program.

Long Beach City College student Katherine Hamilton graduated from high school at age 16 with the hopes of finishing college early and starting a career.
Four years later, Hamilton, 20, said she's still stuck in community college unable to get the classes she needs to transfer to a four-year university. Hamilton, who plans on majoring in international business and marketing, said the business classes she needs are hard to get into.
"I thought I'd be almost done by now, but I'm barely halfway through," she said. "Hopefully I can transfer next year. "
Community colleges have long been called "two-year" institutions, but for many of the 2.4 million students in California's community college system, the largest in the nation, the traditional two-year stint has ballooned into six years and beyond as they struggle to transfer and graduate.
In Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, fewer than half of the community college students tracked over a six-year period transferred, graduated or earned a degree, according to data provided by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office. The problem is compounded by what some leaders have called a "perfect storm" of challenges - the state's economic crisis, soaring tuition and enrollment cuts at public universities, record numbers of high school graduates and a flood of unemployed people hoping to enroll in college courses while they search for work.
And most are coming ill-prepared for college-level work. About 85 percent of students need remedial math, while 70 percent are placed in remedial English, putting a strain on an already bottle necked system.
"It's a very challenging time," said California Community Colleges Chancellor Brice Harris, who oversees the state's 112 community colleges.
"We're seeing students unprepared to go to college in the first place," he said. "At the same time, we've cut back on enormous numbers of courses in the last four years and this has slowed down the pathway to success even more, and we are working hard to change that. "
California's community colleges have lost nearly $1 billion in state funding since 2008, forcing the system to reduce course sections by nearly a quarter and turn away 500,000 potential students.
Last fall, more than 470,000 students were placed on waiting lists for courses. Many students, like Long Beach City College student Benny Lopez, were simply out of luck.
"I tried to get into an English class last semester but the waiting list was too long, I didn't stand a chance," said Lopez, 19. "Most of my friends got put on waiting lists too. "
As a solution, some colleges, like Long Beach City, have cut arts and career technical courses in favor of beefing up their math, English and science departments.
The changes at Long Beach City reflect a larger push for sweeping reforms meant to concentrate resources, streamline courses and improve college success rates.
"The constant budget cutting has seriously eroded our ability to offer the kinds of courses students need," said Dennis Frisch, president of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges and a faculty member at Santa Monica City College. "Our biggest challenge is going to be the way in which we begin to recover from this crisis. "
Robert Shireman of California Competes, an Oakland-based organization that works to improve policies and practices in higher education, said colleges, for one, need to boost the number of counselors.
"We're seeing a major lack of guidance and counseling at the very start of the process," he said. "Some students know exactly what they want, but others are unsure and really need help. That lack of advising means that a lot of students end up in classes that don't fit their interest and don't fit their skill levels. "
With the help of stabilized funding from Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown's tax measure that passed in November, many colleges are now working to add more counselors and improve student support, but process has been slow, Harris said.
"We have a ratio of about 2,000-to-1 (student-to-counselor) and we know that those levels are not a chemistry for success," the chancellor said. "We're trying to drive more resources into counseling and advising students and supporting small programs that we know are successful. The problem is scaling that up to 2.4 million students when there's inadequate resources and insufficient funding. "
While increasing the number of counselors is one solution, Harris said the system is working on other major reforms intended to dramatically improve the time it takes to earn a degree.
Under the Associate of Arts Degree for Transfer program, launched in fall 2011, community colleges and the Cal State University system have joined forces to create a more streamlined degree path that will simplify the transfer process and open doors for thousands more students. About 50,000 community college students transfer to the CSU each year.
As part of the program, the state has identified 25 common majors that capture about 80 percent of the students who transfer. The Chancellor's Office has set a goal of developing special associate transfer degrees for 20 of the top 25 majors by December.
Students trying to decide which college is right for them could benefit from the new California Community Colleges Scorecard. Set to roll out by the end of April, the scorecard will allow anyone to check how well each institution is faring. The scorecard has data measuring completion rates, retention rates, remedial progress, career technical education rates and an overall demographic profile.
Harris said the scorecard will hold colleges accountable with a detailed look at student achievement.
"The scorecard will make our system the most transparent and accountable in the country," he said.
Walter Bumphus, president of the American Association of Community Colleges, said efforts like the transfer degree program and scorecard are moving California's community colleges in the right direction.
"For decades California had the strongest community college system in the country, but they've certainly taken a big hit with their funding losses," he said. "Overall, I think our country's community college system has never been stronger, and 10 years from now I think we'll see some remarkable transformations. The future looks bright for California. "

Basic Maternity Service Centre Established
In 2007, 11 Nepalese nurse-midwives teamed up to establish a freestanding 15-bed birthing centre in Kathmandu valley. It provides cost-effective quality maternal and child health services for urban poor families 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This includes antenatal care; delivery in a homelike environment, accompanied by partner or relative; postnatal care; home visits; free health camp; immunizations; STI case management and counseling; family planning; cervical cancer screening; comprehensive abortion care; integrated management of childhood illnesses and education and counseling relating to reproductive health issues and problems.
The organisation is named "Aadharbhut Prasuti Sewa Kendra" which in English means "Basic Maternity Service Centre." All of the founders work there as volunteers. In Nepal, this is the first and only initiative taken by professional women to render direct health services to the poor women. Laxmi Tamang is the proud founder/manager of the centre.
The centre promotes natural vaginal delivery, and provides services to promote healthy pregnancy and normal childbirth. They would like to be a model in providing cost-effective quality women/couple/baby-friendly services. The founders also would like to open a midwifery school in Nepal, since no school or courses are currently available in Nepal. They also are interested in networking and fundraising. Their biggest concern is sustainability.

I was avg 350' with my old form with fairway drivers which had less shoulder rotation, less weight forward and timing acceleration is now later. Im assuming I can hit 400' with this new form reliably now because I would hit 400' every once a while before. Any notes are appreciated, thanks!

Thats because Cheeseburger Boris IS garbage.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
In what universe is Ryan Anderson & David West equal? Look I'm with you when it comes to saying West has legitimate weakness defending the paint.
Anderson is just Troy Murphy with a slightly better willngness to defend, which means that on occasion he will at least try unlike Salloon door.
There are a lot of other power forwards in this world that you can say are equal to or better than West but Anderson is just not one of them.
As to Diaw, simply put he is a beneficiary of the San Antonio system. With the Bobcats he was garbage. So in other words he is only as good as the system is around him.
vnzla81 I really hate to pile on but it's also really irritating when you make a brash/bold statement, then people refute it / call you out on it or whatever, and then instead of responding or acknowledging the counter-argument you just pretend your original comment never happened, by either changing the subject or changing your argument (you do this A LOT) - in this thread it's the claim you made that Battier "totally shut down" West in the Miami series. Once people posted stats and called you out on this statement, you never mentioned it again or defended it as far as I can tell, and instead changed your point to West not taking advantage of the Bosh injury or whatever.
It gets really tiresome reading and/or trying to have a conversation with somebody like that. Gets old super quick actually. Judging from your other comments you're obviously smarter than that, otherwise I would just put you on ignore and not bother saying anything.
Like I said sorry to pile on but I needed to say it at least once since your posts are everywhere on this board and I have to read them if I'm going to continue to enjoy PD. Please take my comments in the spirit they are intended (feedback from a reader)... Carry on...
Getting back to the original article, I'm really surprised that people think keeping the same starting 5 intact for ONLY A SECOND YEAR is somehow considered standing pat or treading water or underachieving.
It would be one thing if we'd made it to the second round 2 or 3 years in a row with the same lineup and THEN decided just to re-sign our starters. But that's not what's happened here. As I said at the beginning of the thread, 2 of our starting 5 have only played like 80 games or so for the team including playoffs. With no training camp yet.
Surely giving this team their FIRST FULL YEAR with the same coach and starters, given the fact that 3 starters are 25 or younger and the team has made big leaps 2 years in a row, isn't too much to ask is it? It really surprises me just how impatient a lot of posters seem to be with our progression.
And regarding Diaw, hate him all you want but the best coach in the NBA Pop put him in the starting unit for a reason and that's because the guy is wayyyy better than you think.
Don't worry about pilling on, some guys just don't have the thick skin I have I can handle it.
Please do me a favor and put on ignore so I don't have to read your sensitive posts again, thank you.
Also nice to know you will just straight up ignore criticism, valid or not. Best of luck to you sir. And welcome to my ignore list. I tried.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with that statement. He played well in a Spurs uni. Well enough that the Spurs re-signed Diaw.
in pretty much every fn aspect of basketball west is a better player than anderson.
leadership, post play, 10-15 jump shooting, strength on the block to defend, passing. other than outside shooting i dont see any ground for which you can stand on in saying west and anderson are equal.
this has got to be a fing joke right.
The Celtics are done. They will be another year older, and no they were not as good as the Pacers last year. The fact is, the Heat let off the gas after LeBron was laughing his butt off during the first game after putting the Pacers away. He knew for a fact he was going to the finals because he could tell the Celtics were done. We will spank the Celtics this upcoming season.
Other teams like Brooklyn (unless Dwight heads there) and Philly are not going to beat the Pacers next year. We are better than Atlanta too. You don't need to look at the record...it's just a fact. The Heat, Knicks and Bulls will be our competition and the Heat will once again go to the finals.
The Celtics were a better team than the Pacers from post-all star break to the end of the playoffs. They smacked us around pretty good in our final two match-ups against them. With the way KG and Pierce played down the stretch, Boston had three players that were better than any single player on the Pacers when you add Rondo to those two. Avery Bradley, who didn't even play against the Heat, also emerged as a young stud and took Ray's starting spot. I think it's almost impossible to be better than a team which has three players that are clearly better than any single player on your roster.
You think the Heat were just screwing around and planned it where they would have to go into a Boston for a do or die game 6 and then play a game 7 which Boston kept brutally close for three and a half quarters? No way. The Heat wanted no part of any of that after the Dallas debacle last year where they let an old group of vets get confidence and beat them. The Heat were trying like hell to win games 3, 4 and 5, all of which Boston won. Boston also may have won game 2 if it weren't for some shady officiating. They did all of this without Jeff Green, Avery Bradley, and Chris Wilcox - all three of which will be back next season. They also signed Courtney Lee and replaced Ray Allen with Jason Terry, who I think is better than Ray at this point. He is also two years younger. It all comes down to how Pierce and KG play. If those two play at a level that is similar to last year then they are a more dangerous team than the Pacers.
Boston had a 3-2 lead on Miami with the opportunity to end the series at home. Unfortunately for them, one of the greatest players of all time unleashed a performance for the ages on them. The Pacers OTOH had a 2-1 lead, but once Miami woke up in the second half of game 4 they handled us with ease and the series was over. Miami won three straight games against us which shows that they had complete command. Getting past Boston OTOH was a complete dog fight.
Hasn't Boston allegedly been done since like 2009? Everyone keeps saying these guys are finished, yet they keep winning and going on deep playoff runs. KG and Pierce's run will end one day, but I'm not counting them out until I see it with my own eyes.

Ryan Anderson reminds me of the moon.
Looks nice most nights when its revolving around a nice big planet.
If it was out in space by itself..... its just another big rock.
West is the leader that Anderson will never be.
Don't forget the two rookies Boston got that are ready to play( Sullinger and Melo)
Edit: response to Sollozo.

And nobody is saying that Anderson is a leader.
I fully understand that too.
I just mentioned it because when I think of a veteran player like West, I look to see what he might bring other that stats.
Just throwing my 2 cents worth of gas on the roaring fire!
I think your post is a fair way to look at it. Pierce will be 35 in October and KG turns 37 next March. When players are that old, there is certainly always a chance that father time can bite them severely at any moment. But if those two play like last year then they will be a very dangerous team because the supporting cast will be drastically better than what they had in the playoffs as long as they all (or at least most of them) stay healthy. Plus Rondo gets better every season.
We've starved so long that some posters can't enjoy a good meal. They don't have the patience to savor every bite. They must devour each morsel as fast as possible and the have to get more and more. Like blood thirsty vampires, Ha ha. I dread the day but I don't think many will be happy until Danny is gone. After all he is the last link to the years we sucked. Why, because he was the best player then and he's still the best player now so it gives a false sense of the FO not making anything happen.
I just spent half the thread trying to remember at what point Tony Battie defended David West in the playoffs.
"He's a strong physical presence out there on both ends of the court. He's a man. There's a reason he was an All-Star." -- Vogel on David West
Are you sure you want to ignore? Just take it for the entertainment value it is - he likes to argue for argument's sake - the facts be damned.
After all someone who says "Don't worry about pilling on, some guys just don't have the thick skin I have I can handle it." and then follows that statement with "Please do me a favor and put on ignore so I don't have to read your sensitive posts again, thank you." Can not be taken seriously.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
- Benjamin Franklin
Plus the other one is an undersized, barely athletic PF with "unorthodox" post moves and an inconsistent jumper. If Jared is NBA ready then Tyler could still develop into a true star. Jared's defense seems ok though.
In Doc Rivers I trust I bet he finds a way to play Melo.

The New Zealand Under-19 team lost their second Tri-Series match in Darwin, Australia yesterday, falling short of India Under19's total of 276 by 165 runs.
A brilliant 128 by Vijay Zol was the backbone of India's big score, as they finished their 50 overs just six wickets down. In reponse, New Zealand was unable to form any meaningful partnerships and were dismissed for 111 in the 42nd over.
Openers Henry Collier and Rakitha Weerasundara were put under pressure early in the pursuit and the pressure soon told, as India's bowlers ripped through the top-order to relegate New Zealand to 35 for six.
Ken McClure (41) and Kyle Jamieson (23) showed some resistance, putting on 51 for the seventh wicket. It was however a helpless situation by this point and the remaining batsmen were eventually cleaned up to hand India a big win.
Earlier, a 105 run second wicket stand between Akhil Herwadkar and Zol had laid down the foundations for India's total.
Kurtley Watson managed to capture Herwadkar's wicket for 55, but Zol continued to progress India's score and took India past 250.
Watson eventually managed to end the onslaught when he bowled Zol late in the innings, but by then the number three had ensured New Zealand's task would be challenging indeed.
Alec Hodgson picked up a pair of wickets, but Watson's figures of 2-31-10 made him the pick of the New Zealand bowlers.
New Zealand's next match is against Australia on Saturday.

The Tide Could Turn at Calgon
As a recent SEC filing shows, Starboard Value now -- an activist hedge fund managed by Jeffrey Smith -- owns 4.4 million shares of Calgon Carbon (CCC). Calgon, which has a market capitalization of just over $900 million, primarily sells water- and air-treatment products for environmental and industrial purposes, including to food or medical-supply companies. The stock was recently running ahead of the market for the Thursday session, and it currently trades at about $16 per share. This would mean a position of about $70 million for Starboard. Based on that 13F filing, Calgon is one of the fund's five largest positions by market value.
The better-known water-softener and beauty products under the Calgon brand, with the "ancient Chinese secret" and "Calgon, take me away" catchphrases, are now owned by other companies. With Starboard's stake in the company now at 7.7% of total shares outstanding, the fund's management has disclosed that it plans to obtain up to three seats on Calgon's board. The latter has responded by noting that it has met with Starboard and continues to be committed to shareholder value. But we would certainly expect that management to be at least somewhat resistant to any suggestions from Starboard, as the fund has tended to take on an activist role....339 more words left in this article.

LRI Applauds Supreme Court Ruling Upholding Affordable Healthcare Act
Legislation Maintains Key Critical Principles for People with Lupus and Other Chronic Diseases
NEW YORK, NY – June 28. The Lupus Research Institute (LRI) is strongly encouraged with today's bipartisan U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding virtually the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010.
This historic decision is greatly welcomed news for the 1.5 million Americans living with lupus. In upholding the Act, the Court supported principles the LRI and its National Coalition of patient organizations had successfully advocated for inclusion to ensure that people with chronic diseases such as lupus are protected. The Supreme Court ruling maintains the following four key principles so critical to people with lupus and other chronic diseases:
Insurance coverage available for all Americans, regardless of pre-existing conditions.
- Elimination of lifetime caps on health benefits.
- Provisions dedicated to prevention and wellness and educating those with and at risk for chronic disease on best ways to manage and prevent illness.
- Dedication to eliminating racial disparities in chronic diseases such as lupus, which disproportionately affects minorities.
"With so much at stake for lupus patients, so many are breathing a sigh of relief with this Supreme Court ruling," said Margaret Dowd, President and CEO of LRI. "The ability to buy insurance regardless of preexisting conditions is a critically important legal right for all of us – but for people with lupus it's truly a life and death issue. The current provision eliminating lifetime caps on insurance benefits is another pillar of health care reform that is dramatically increasing treatment options for many lupus patients."

Nonspecific chest pain is frequently encountered in the emergency department. Accounting for over 13,000 deaths annually, aortic aneurysmal disease is a potential cause of chest pain.There are multiple diagnostic imaging modalities in practice to interrogate the thoracic aorta, with the most common being computed tomographic angiography (CTA), trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) and trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE), each with its own advantages and limitations. In the ED setting, point-of-care (POC) focused cardiac ultrasound (FOCUS) is increasingly being used as an adjunct to the emergency physician's (EP) workup of undifferentiated chest pain. Based on prior retrospective data FOCUS and CTA appear to have good agreement. This studies aims to confirm these findings through prospective evaluation
Specific Aims
Aim 1: To prospectively compare Point of Care (POC) Focused Cardiac Ultrasound (FOCUS) to thoracic computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in the measurement of ascending aortic dimensions.
Maximal diameter measurements of the ascending thoracic aorta by FOCUS will be compared to CTA. Bland Altman plots with 95% limits of agreement will be used to determine clinical and statistical significance.
Hypothesis: 95% limits of agreement between FOCUS and CTA will be within +/- 5 mm.
Aim 2: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of Point-of-Care Focused Cardiac Ultrasound for the detection of thoracic aortic dilation and aneurysm with computed tomographic angiography as the reference standard
Sensitivity, Specificity and Accuracy of FOCUS will be computed with CTA as the reference standard.

Ask Painfully Hip: What the heck should I do with all these oversized men's shirts?
Hi Amber and Eve,
hi ronnie!
ok, so i'll admit that i did a little bit of a google search on the topic before i sat down to tackle it, and i have to say that i wouldn't wish those search results on anyone. one especially fantastic message board was plastered with sentences such as "sow the sides of the shirt smaller and cut off the collier." (i'm not even sure what a collier is on a shirt…) and fantastic fashion advice such as: "pop the collar, belt it with a wide neon belt, and wear matching pointy toed pumps and black leggings."
amber had a really awesome idea of cutting out around the collar (collier?) and turning them into poofy halter dresses. since i always have to take things a step too far, my reaction was, "yeah! and what if you left a strip connected to the collar, to make it a t-back?!" you could do this with or without the sleeves.
the main thing you need to figure out is if the shoulders fit. this is the key to wearing any over-sized top without looking sloppy (or like you're drowning!): well-fitting shoulders. one of my favorite thrift store finds was this over-size silk blouse, that, believe it or not, is marked as an "extra small" because it fits small through the shoulders. (please ignore the walking cast on the foot i'm trying to hide!) because of the fit through the shoulders, i've been able to pair it with all sorts of things without looking like i was playing "dress up." (well… my boyfriend strongly disagrees with that last statement, but i've found that the best response to that is "you chose me!!")

Free WiFi for All Would Have Mixed Results
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has proposed the creation of a free, nationwide WiFi network in order to facilitate web and cellular traffic. Though plans are only in the initial stages (and we are not jumping to any conclusions), the government could provide the U.S. with a high-speed network at no cost, helping to put the nation on par with the Internet service achieved in several other countries. The news does not alter our fair-value estimates for companies we cover, although we await details on the probability and timing of implementation.
Understandably, the companies that currently own spectrum and experience fantastic returns on networks are a bit upset about the possibility. The high margins that wireless operators Verizon (VZ), AT&T (T) and to a lesser extent Sprint (S) are achieving could face pressure. Though in the event the FCC does roll out free nationwide WiFi, these firms could still win subscribers who fear network congestion (or who desire even faster data speed)....558 more words left in this article.

Should Smokin' the Water continue to include speed boat races or should some other type of water event be considered?
i personally did not like the boat racers i have been going to kingston's 4th of july celebration for 15 years and the boat racers are to dangerous to be down there by all those children my children did not get in the water but i was afraid for others personally i think we should focus more on our kids i know with four high schools around here rockwood,harriman,kingston and oliver springs where is all the musical talent i would love to here more music down on this side we have a stage around from the ball field and let me just get this out last years fireworks not so good i do believe in my all 15 years though 2011 was the bomb it was awesome i would love to see more on the water because they are beautiful but the big bang at the end was great people were screaming all around me whistling kutos to kingston this year for the best out of my 15 years coming thanks for a wonderful family night.
That's too bad. I have enjoyed the races for the past two years. I had never attended before. What were the racers upset about? Surely it wasn't the spectators. If it was the organizers, that should be addressed.
Norm Burns
Considering the manner in which the boat racers were treated this past year, the question may be moot. The racers themselves may well make the decision for Kingston and the county. The lack of coordination consideration and dedication on the part of the city toward the race, their officials and the racers left many of what should have been guests of honor with mostly a foul taste of indifference or inconvenience. Most of the individuals I talked with had substantial reservations about a return visit.

Topic: Update on MIL
Thank you all for replying to my last post. It means so much to me to have all of your support. Lainy- you really are fantastic. So my MIL finished her 3rd round of chemo last Thursday. They did a blood test and that afternoon called her and said that she had to see a GI doc to see about a stent being placed. Her labs were elevated. The tumor appears to have grown larger and is now occluding one of her ducts. Chemo is on hold until we see if stent placement is possible and another CT done. The GI doctor was very direct and told my MIL and FIL that if the blockage was too high, that placing a stent would not be possible and that there was nothing left to be done for her. Even if the stent is able to be placed, I'm not sure if they will resume chemo since her symptoms just seem to be worsening.
I saw my sweet MIL today and I was saddened as she appeared slightly jaundiced to me. She didn't leave the couch all day, said it was nearly an impossible chore just to take a shower, and has only been able to have 2 sips of a shake all day. I am so so terribly saddened.
My husband and FIL seem to be a little more in touch with reality, which is good. I am just still so blown away how rapidly she has declined. This cancer is so so horrible. I am just so heavy hearted. I love this woman and seeing her decline like this is heart-wrenching. Her pain increased last week and she is now on 2 Fentanyl patches and 3 percocet as needed. I just wish she would go to the outpatient palliative care people at UCLA. What is the next medication used after the Fentanyl patches don't work anymore? Morphine patch? IV Morphine? Are we there yet?
Thanks again for all of your support...I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The River City is a step closer to making some Florida history with a ship that made history for President John F. Kennedy.
Retired Navy Capt. Daniel Bean is one of the drivers for the non-profit Jacksonville Historic Naval Ship Association that wants a Navy Museum in Jacksonville.
"The ability to have warship downtown, in a Navy town will draw people downtown," said Bean.
At the center of the Navy Museum, the warship long promised to Jacksonville, the U.S.S. Charles F. Adams. It's the first ship Cpt. Bean ever set foot upon.
Jacksonville's downtown investment authority signed off on having the U.S.S Charles Adams docked on the River downtown Jacksonville.
Bean said the City of Jacksonville won't be offering any financial support to bring U.S.S. Adams to Jacksonville, but the ship does require a pier with the price tag of about $6 million.
The Adams could play a key role in boosting Jacksonville's economy and drawing more veterans to downtown, the hopes is that the ship would also tug on tourists to visit Jacksonville, too.
"So, we build ourselves around river, around Navy, we have success, bring people downtown and people enjoy themselves. That's what it's all about," said Bean.
The Adams was first in line for President John F. Kennedy, more than 50 years ago, during the Cuban Missile crisis. It would be the first in the state of Florida and Bean told Channel 4 he thinks it would be successful, because it accentuates the St. Johns River and the heritage of the United States Navy.
"Our studies show about 150-thousand annual visitors, over half from out of town, so we're just doing our part," said Bean. "Others need to step up, help downtown reach fullest potential."
Bean said the Destroyer will be the youngest warship on display in the country. Every other ship is World War II or older.
