I'm 57 now and a proud AARP card-carrying member of the noble senior citizen ranks of The United States of America.
But I wasn't always this old.
Yes sir, I remember when I was graduating from Washington County High School as a member of the class of 1975.
"Why did you turn the TV off? There's still a few seconds left in the game," I asked my son, Dave.
"It's over. I don't watch the other team celebrate."
I didn't argue. I felt the same way.
It's not fun when your team loses, especially when they get so close to the championship game and an undefeated season.
Losses like that are disappointing. Before drifting off to sleep I thought, "If only they had…"
Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.
- Vivian Komori
You know, I love small town life.
In some ways, being in Washington County is like "The Andy Griffith Show" that was first broadcast 55 years ago. It centers on the fictional small town called "Mayberry" and all of its quirky citizens, with all their humorous problems.
It was very popular in its day and ran for eight years. It has been in reruns ever since.
So what made this show so good?
Hearing laughter from one of the rooms where a Bible study class was meeting Sunday morning, I cracked opened the door and teased, "What's this, laughter in church?"
They answered with more laughter.
And why not laugh in church? There certainly is a time for being quiet and even for sadness. As the author of Ecclesiastes wrote, "There is an appointed time for everything…" including, "a time to cry and a time to laugh."
There is going to be a lot of discussion surrounding road funding over the next several months, and the vast majority of it will not be pleasant conversation.
With everything I've read on the topic and my interview with Washington County Judge-Executive John Settles for the road funding story you see on this week's front page, I learned quite a bit about the specifics of the cutbacks and what they mean for each individual Kentucky county. What I learned is that the results will not be good.
For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
– John 3:16
John 3:16 is probably the most beautiful and hopeful verse written in the Bible. I've been told it pretty much sums up, in one sentence, everything that Christianity is all about.
The true beauty of the whole Easter story is not only that it happened, but also how God had it happen.
He sent Jesus to the world as a living, breathing man, not as the powerful God he is.
I hate cars.
To me a car is just a big expense on wheels.
I hate buying them because I never really know if I got a good deal or not.
I hate paying the humongous insurance bill you get when you have teen drivers.
I hate the funny sounds they make right before something major blows a hole in your pocket.
I hate the endless maintenance bills and climbing under the engine to change the oil.
I just plain hate cars.
The recently released video showing the rescue of 18-month-old baby, Lily Groesbeck, is dramatic. The rescue team works frantically to flip the car, submerged in the frigid waters of the Spanish Fork River outside Salt Lake City, Utah, so they might rescue any survivors.
They had heard a voice---a woman's voice softly but desperately crying for help.
My church believes, and probably many others, in a lot of counseling before a couple gets married.
It's a good idea.
It's not really counseling. It's more like getting to intimately know the person you want to live with forever. You get into all sorts of areas that never come up in normal dating. You know, things like money, where're you going to live, how about kids, and so on.
It's a great idea.
Well, that was a whopper. two whoppers to be exact. I've never seen anything like the two winter storms we just experienced and I don't think that's strictly my age talking.
After the snow three weeks ago, it was said that it was the largest in the area since the 1990s, maybe even since the storm of 1978 dropped 18 inches in two days.
After last week, the comparisons seem to have ceased. I'm not sure many of us can say we've seen anything like the two storms we just experienced, especially around these parts.

"I went to Vegas to meet with Elvis' manager, Col. Tom Parker. We talked at what was then called the Hilton International [Hotel] . . . at the roulette wheel," Weintraub recalls with a chuckle. "When we finally made our deal--a very big deal--Colonel Parker reached in his pocket, pulled out a cigar and stuck it in my mouth."
Parker was almost 60 then, Weintraub not yet 30, and as Weintraub waited for a light, Parker said, 'Son, if you're going to be a big promoter and a big producer, you have to learn to smoke cigars.' "
What kind of cigar did Colonel Parker give him?
Weintraub laughs.
"It wasn't a good one."
No surprise. The colonel was notoriously tightfisted legendary for such pre-Presley ploys as painting sparrows yellow and selling them as canaries (or selling footlong hot dogs that stuck out at each end of the bun, but had no meat in the middle). But Weintraub took Parker's advice and became a cigar smoker anyway.
Lou Pitt, Schwarzenegger's agent at ICM, has been smoking cigars for 15 years, but he concedes that "the quality of my tobacco has improved dramatically" since he hooked up with Schwarzenegger. He used to smoke Dunhills, Royal Jamaicans and Pleiades; now it's Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta and Montecristo.
Fred Specktor, a CAA agent whose clients include Robert De Niro, Danny DeVito and Joe Pesci, says Medavoy got him started as a serious cigar smoker about five years ago when they traveled to London with their wives, and a maître d' came around with a humidor after dinner in a restaurant. Medavoy encouraged him to try one, and "I liked it; I started bumming cigars from Mike, then I started buying them myself."

Our Thoughts
If you don't want leather or to spend a lot of money these saddlebags are a great option. They are sturdy and well built. The hinge style opening of the lid makes for easy access to the main compartment, which has separate internal storage compartments and the exterior side pockets are great for storing smaller items. They install pretty quickly as well as the removal. We would recommend these to anyone who doesn't want permanent saddlebags. The mounting yoke is adjustable to fit a wide range of rear fenders, and attach to the motorcycle by quick release buckles.

TPWD Looking at Series of Deer Management Proposals
AUSTIN, Texas — With only about one percent of the total land mass in Texas being managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, wildlife conservation will have to happen on private land to be successful in Texas.
Providing private landowners and wildlife managers with the freedom and flexibility to effectively manage wildlife on their property is one of the benchmark priorities in TPWD's Land and Water Resources Conservation and Recreation Plan, designed to guide the agency's long-range efforts.
One of the ways TPWD assists private landowners with resource conservation is through agency-approved wildlife management plans. Currently, about 14.5 million acres of private property operate under such plans.
Among Texas' most prized natural assets is the white-tailed deer and while many other wildlife species benefit from proper habitat conservation measures, a majority of wildlife management plans are tailored to address the needs of deer.
And as deer management strategies evolve, TPWD recognizes the need to adjust and amend the guidelines to allow land managers to be more efficient and effective stewards. This spring, the agency is looking at a series of proposed changes based upon recommendations from the TPW Commission's White-tailed Deer Advisory Committee. Following is a summary of those recommendations, which are up for comment right now in a series of public hearings going on around the state.
- Eliminate "Dual Tagging Requirements" — This proposal is designed to simplify complex and redundant tagging requirements for deer taken by specified permit, such as during certain public drawn hunts or on managed properties having deer permits. Only the special permit tag would be required, not the corresponding tag from a valid hunting license. Additionally, this proposal would eliminate personal bag limits and the requirement to complete the harvest log on the back of the hunting license for deer taken under authority of the specified permits.
- Extend Season Length for Level II and III MLDPs (Managed Lands Deer Permit) — The current ending date for Level II and III MLDPs varies depending upon the region of the state. Additionally, many MLDP properties also utilize Antlerless Deer Control Permits which are valid through the last day in February. A consistent "ending date" at the end of February for harvest permits will reduce confusion and allow for enhanced opportunities to achieve harvest objectives.
- A one-year suspension for properties that exceed the harvest quota in a Wildlife Management Plan — This proposal would provide a penalty for properties that fail to follow harvest guidelines but continue to work under a WMP and collect necessary data.
- Allow the "inconsequential release" of deer taken under the Trap, Transport and Transplant (TTT) permit program — This proposal would allow for more than a one-time only inconsequential release of up to one deer per 200 acres at a frequency not to exceed one release every four years, and allow for an inconsequential release at change in ownership of the property.
- TTT Site inspection exemptions — Allow Level II MLDP properties (in addition to Level III properties) to qualify for "no site inspection release of TTT deer," if the Level II property can provide data equivalent to Level III requirements, and the total number of deer, after release, does not exceed the number specified in the WMP.
- Eliminate the limit on the number of deer that can be removed from a Level II or III MLDP property prior to the importation of additional deer — This change would allow landowners more flexibility in the number of deer they can import to their property without negative implications to plant communities.
- Require that all buck deer moved by TTT permit have antlers removed prior to transport — Current TTT rules require bucks to have the antlers removed prior to transport unless the movement takes place between Feb. 10 and March 31. This proposal would ensure that antlered bucks are not moved during an open season, particularly if the Level II and III MLDP season is extended through the last day of February.
- Allow buck deer to be included in TTT activities that are authorized for inconsequential purposes or for sites that do not require a site inspection — TTT activities are authorized at "inconsequential levels" or at levels prescribed in a wildlife management plan in order to protect plant communities from over-browsing. The sex of the animal is irrelevant to this point.
Comments about these proposals and others being considered by TPWD may be made online at (http://tpwd.texas.gov/) or in writing to: TPWD Public Comment, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, TX 78744.
A series of 19 public hearings began March 8 and continues through March 24. The public is encouraged to attend and make comment at any of the following remaining meetings. All hearings start at 7 p.m.:

The Last Time I Really Enjoyed a Candy Bar I Was Seven
Ignorance is bliss when it comes to some childhood habits like eating junk food. A chocolate bar tastes ten times better when you don't know how many calories it has or care. Kids pick their favorite flavor of ice cream based on the color or amount of bubble gum chunks it contains. As adults we worry about food dye, processing, trans-fats, sugar, sodium and whatever other substance is headlined in the articles we devour and then decide to limit from our lil ones.
A recent New York Times article explored food worries and potential eating issues in today's children. While an 8-year-old stresses about sodium increasing his heart rate — his mother was proud of his nutritional awareness. The report said:
While scarcely any expert would criticize parents for paying attention to children's diets, many doctors, dietitians and eating disorder specialists worry that some parents are becoming overzealous, even obsessive, in efforts to engender good eating habits in children. With the best of intentions, these parents may be creating an unhealthy aura around food.
I primarily feed my tots an organic and non-processed diet, but every blue moon — I let them have cake for breakfast. How do you balance this with your kids?

The gift of life, times two for the Fago family
Mike Fago is one unlucky guy. He also is an impossibly lucky one.
Born into a family with a history of kidney failure, he fell victim to his genetic heritage when, in November 2011, both of his kidneys shut down. Every other day for 10 months, doctors siphoned 7 pints of blood out of his left arm and into a dialysis machine to perform the vital function his own kidneys could not: removing from the blood excess – and often toxic – byproducts of bodily functions like digestion.
For 10 months, his 50-year-old body produced no urine. And with would-be kidney recipients outnumbering donor kidneys roughly 7 to 1 nationwide, Fago's chances of returning to normal anytime soon were slim at best.
"It could have been five years for me to get a kidney," he said.
Then something remarkable happened: His younger sister Michelle stepped forward and pledged one of her kidneys. In August 2012, doctors tested the siblings for their renal compatibility and discovered that Michelle's kidney was a perfect match.
"It was like getting one from a twin," Mike Fago said.
Fast forward 10 months. On June 10, surgeons at Erie County Medical Center successfully performed the inter-sibling kidney transplant. Two months later, the difference for Mike was night and day.
And so, Mike's family – the same family whose ill-fated gene pool dealt his kidneys such a lousy hand in the first place – wound up being his saving grace.
If that's where this story ended, the Fago family kidney transplant would certainly be feel-good tale. But this story doesn't end there. To fully appreciate how much the Fago family has gone through, and how lucky they are to have made it out intact, you have to rewind some 35 years.
Because the story of Mike and Michelle has happened before. All of it. The Fago family has had not one but two successful inter-sibling kidney transplants. That's what makes this story incredible, and Mike knows it.
"I don't know too many people that have gone through what our family's gone through," he said.
'You're turning green'
The Fago siblings are five in total: Donna, Mike, Kim, Nick and Michelle. Only 10 years separate the eldest sibling, Donna, who is 52, from Michelle, the "baby" of the family, and the siblings were a tight-knit bunch as a result.
The Fagos grew up in Williamsville. All five attended Williamsville East High School. Their father was an engineering contractor, while their mother worked in a department store.
Nick was about 12 when their seemingly average suburban life changed.
Nick, now 48, remembers the moment well. It was near the end of the school year, and he was in class, freezing cold in spite of the weather. He didn't know it yet, but his body was sputtering to a halt.
Doctors had previously mentioned the possibility of kidney disease after an earlier, prolongued illness. Nick says he refused to believe it. But his willful ignorance was shattered that fateful day in class.
"In the middle of summer I'm wearing a down coat, and in class this girl looks over behind me and says, 'You're turning green.' I get out of my chair, I call my mom, I say, 'Mom, I'm ready.' "
The official diagnosis
Soon after, the Fagos received the official diagnosis: glomerulonephritis, a kidney disease characterized by crippling inflammation of the glomeruli, tiny blood vessels in the kidney.
It turned out that Nick's kidneys had been slowly dying for months.
Like many kidney diseases, glomerulonephritis saps the kidneys of their functionality slowly but surely.
"Normally, if your kidney goes down, you don't feel anything" at first, explained Dr. Mark Laftavi, surgical director at the Regional Center of Excellence for Transplantation and Kidney Care at Erie County Medical Center.
Individuals with the condition might notice a mild loss of appetite, dizziness or a change in daily urine output, but nothing serious enough to merit a trip to the doctor.
But when kidney function drops to 20 percent, things go downhill fast. Nausea. Total loss of appetite. A sudden drop in blood pressure. Dr. Laftavi said that Nick's experience of turning green, while incredibly uncommon, could indeed result from a critical build-up of toxins in the blood.
Kidney disease was the eighth leading cause of death in the United States in 2010, with 50,476 deaths attributed to it, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics published in May.
A childhood derailed
Nick went on dialysis immediately. Like his older brother Mike 30 years later, he sat in a hospital every other day while a machine filtered his blood. To this day, a series of raised lumps on his left arm mark the spot where doctors tied together arteries and veins to channel enough of his blood into the dialysis machine.
The experience of being on dialysis derailed Nick's childhood. The way he describes it, Nick spent two Christmases and two birthdays at the hospital – first at Children's, then at Buffalo General. Michelle, the youngest, kept him company while her parents worked. Though barely 10 years old at the time, she remembers Nick being the youngest patient in the hospital ward.
"We'd park in the back parking lot of the hospital and walk through the basement," she said. "It seemed like a dungeon."
Dialysis required Nick to maintain a strict cap on the amount of fluid he took in daily. Ice chips helped, but thirst was a constant.
His food choices were limited, too. Foods that absorbed fluid were avoided.
"I used to have turkey sandwiches all the time. I don't eat turkey sandwiches anymore," Nick said with a laugh only possible in retrospect.
A fault in the genes
Nick was a prisoner of more than just the dialysis center; he was being held captive by his genes.
His diagnosis came as a shock to the Fagos, so they did some digging and discovered that kidney disease had visited their family before.
"My parents, my grandmother, and everybody put a family tree together and figured out how and what was happening – why we were getting it, who had it," Nick said.
Some 80 years prior, the Fagos learned, kidney disease killed the brother of Nick's grandfather, who was about as old as Nick was when he was diagnosed. Back in the early 1900s, there was no known treatment for diseases of this kind.
Left untreated, Nick's great-uncle is said to have swelled up with unfiltered blood until his bodily systems gave out.
Following Nick's diagnosis, doctors screened the entire Fago family, searching for signs of the disease, but also to complete a more pressing task: finding Nick a new kidney.
Everyone is born with two kidneys, but one kidney can do the work of two, making live donation possible.
Drawing straws
As it turned out, several members of the Fago family were compatible to a degree. The way Nick and Michelle remember it, everybody drew straws to decide who would be the donor.
But Kim, now 49, who was chosen to donate a kidney to Nick, said it was a decision based purely on compatibility.
She remembers her mother making the call but says that she never felt forced into doing it. Knowing what the disease was doing to her younger brother made it a no-brainer.
"I never had a bad feeling about it," said Kim, who now lives in Alabama.
The transplant took place March 18, 1981. Nick was 16. At the time, renal surgery was in its infancy. The procedure took 12 hours, surgeons required an incision traveling from the stomach to the back to extract and insert the kidney, and the odds of a patient's body accepting the new kidney were no better than 50-50. Even if the procedure went well, doctors expected Nick's kidney to last only 10 years.
In spite of it all, Nick emerged from the operating room with a working kidney and a new lease on life.
Thirty-two years and three months later, Kim's kidney hasn't failed him yet.
"I'm a perfect example of living a normal life" thanks to an organ donation, he said.
Sister steps up
It must have felt like deja vu when, 30 years after Nick and Kim went under the knife, kidney disease again struck the family.
"I always knew that I had the chance," Mike said. "I guess I'm lucky I made it to 50 without having to go through it earlier."
Mike's journey from diagnosis to transplant was more protracted than his brother's. This time around, it was not immediately clear that a donor kidney would come from his family. And so for months, Mike sat on the national waiting list, which, according to statistics compiled by the Organ Procedure and Transplantation Network, was 96,686 hopefuls long earlier this month. In New York alone, 8,119 people await a kidney. Compare those numbers with the 13,042 kidneys that were removed from donors either dead or alive nationwide, and it's painfully clear why a guy Mike's age waits an average of 1,800 days, or nearly five years, to get a kidney.
Mike knows how lucky he is. Since his surgery, he has been living in a camper he owns at a secluded campground outside Lockport. The camper is his quiet retreat – just him; his dog Jessie, a 2-year-old boxer; and some friendly neighbors who offer to cut the grass every once in a while. He says the peace and quiet is helping to speed his recovery.
Living in this same campground is a fellow Mike knows who has been on dialysis for four years.
One campground. Two completely different ends of the kidney disease spectrum.
Mike knows if it hadn't been for Michelle's decision to donate, that fellow could have been him.
"I wouldn't ask. It's something I just wouldn't – I don't know, it's kind of hard to explain," Mike said. "But once she came to me and told me she wanted to do it, I just couldn't believe it. It was very overwhelming. I still get choked up just thinking about it."
The gift of life
The experience of having two brothers reduced to shells of themselves by kidney failure, only to be reborn thanks to donated kidneys, has given the Fagos an unusual perspective on the importance of organ donation, a message everyone interviewed for this story was quick to raise.
"I don't think people realize what you can do for somebody else that's going through, not only kidney failure but heart failure or whatever," Mike said. "It gives somebody else a chance to maybe live a little bit of a normal life."
Having seen the life-changing role an organ donor can play twice, once as a young girl and now as a mother of five, Michelle decided to take it a step further and become a medical professional. She recently completed nursing school with the goal of one day working in a dialysis center just like the "dungeons" that kept her brothers alive.
"That's why I got into it in the first place," she said.
"I think the most important thing that people have to realize is that you don't have to have somebody who's sick in order to donate, and you can donate to anybody," Michelle said. Case in point: a man in Mike's dialysis unit received a kidney from a 26-year-old girl who Mike says didn't know anyone in renal failure but chose to give altruistically.
Added Kim, "I ask anybody to always be a donor on your license because it really could change somebody's life forever."

You do it because while there's nothing to lose, it's even more likely nothing to gain, and you're paying him money to sit there. And second, and this is important, if he does blossom, he's still not going to be better than JO or Artest, and he'd then pull an Al Harrington/Antonio Davis on us.
Has to pass a physical before he can be traded.
Over the past few weeks I've watched a lot of the Pacers playoff games from last year, and bender layed rather well in the first two rounds. he was a factor. The Heat actually double-teamed him a few times
Whenever Bender was able to get consistant minutes he usually played quite well, the problem with him is he's never on the court due to injuries. I've seen the flashes from him that have convinced me if healthy he can be a major contributor which is why I would hate to trade him for two guys who probably will see as much action as Bender has and no where near the potential.Originally Posted by Unclebuck

The framework provides a tag library decoupled from the view technology. In this section, we describe each tag in general terms, such as the attributes it supports, what the behaviors are, and so forth. Most tags are supported in all template languages (see JSP Tags, Velocity Tags, and FreeMarker Tags), but some are currently only specific to one language. Whenever a tag doesn't have complete support for every language, it is noted on the tag's reference page.
The types of tags can be broken in to two types: generic and UI. Besides function and responsibility, the biggest difference between the two is that the HTML tags support templates and themes. In addition to the general tag reference, we also provide examples for using these generic tags in each of the support languages.

While simultaneously pressing down on your abdomen, he or she can examine your uterus, ovaries and other organs. Transvaginal ultrasoundTransvaginal ultrasoundDuring a transvaginal ultrasound, your doctor or a medical technician inserts a wand-like device (transducer) into your vagina while you lie on your back on an exam table. The transducer emits sound waves that generate images of your pelvic organs. HysteroscopyHysteroscopyDuring a hysteroscopy, your doctor uses a thin, lighted instrument (hysteroscope) to view the inside of your uterus. Tests and procedures used to diagnose endometrial cancer include: Pelvic examination. During a pelvic exam, your doctor carefully inspects the outer portion of your genitals (vulva), and then inserts two fingers of one hand into your vagina and simultaneously presses the other hand on your abdomen to feel your uterus and ovaries. He or she also inserts a device called a speculum into your vagina. The speculum opens your vagina so that your doctor can view your vagina and cervix for abnormalities. Using sound waves to create a picture of your uterus. Your doctor may recommend a transvaginal ultrasound to look at the thickness and texture of the endometrium and help rule out other conditions. In this procedure, a wandlike device (transducer) is inserted into your vagina. The transducer uses sound waves to create a video image of your uterus. This test helps your doctor look for abnormalities in your uterine lining. Using a scope to examine your endometrium. During a hysteroscopy, your doctor inserts a thin, flexible, lighted tube (hysteroscope) through your vagina and cervix into your uterus. A lens on the hysteroscope allows your doctor to examine the inside of your uterus and the endometrium. Removing a sample of tissue for testing. To get a sample of cells from inside your uterus, you'll likely undergo an endometrial biopsy. This involves removing tissue from your uterine lining for laboratory analysis. Endometrial biopsy may be done in your doctor's office and usually doesn't require anesthesia. Performing surgery to remove tissue for testing. If enough tissue can't be obtained during a biopsy or if the biopsy results are unclear, you'll likely need to undergo a procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C). During D&C, tissue is scraped from the lining of your uterus and examined under a microscope for cancer cells. If endometrial cancer is found, you'll likely be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating cancers involving the female reproductive system (gynecologic oncologist). Staging endometrial cancerOnce your cancer has been diagnosed, your doctor works to determine the extent (stage) of your cancer. Tests used to determine your cancer's stage may include a chest X-ray, a computerized tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scan and blood tests. The final determination of your cancer's stage may not be made until after you undergo surgery to treat your cancer. Stages of endometrial cancer include: Stage I cancer is found only in your uterus. Stage II cancer is present in both the uterus and cervix. Stage III cancer has spread beyond the uterus, but hasn't reached the rectum and bladder. The pelvic area lymph nodes may be involved. Stage IV cancer has spread past the pelvic region and can affect the bladder, rectum and more-distant parts of your body.

Last year more than 14,000 Minnesotans tested positive for chlamydia. That's more people than live in the city of Bemidji.
Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the state, yet the state seemingly hasn't done enough to stop the spread. Infection rates have doubled in the past 12 years.
The Minnesota Department of Health on Tuesday is holding a statewide summit to draw attention to the problem.
The agency said it's asking for help from the community because it doesn't have the money it needs to tackle the problem alone.
The money issue is familiar in times of tight budgets, but the Health Department has never had money to spend on chlamydia prevention.
The federal government gave the Health Department $750,000 last year to pay for chlamydia testing, treatment and disease surveillance. Prevention money wasn't included in the grant.
The state of Minnesota gave even less for chlamydia prevention and treatment -- lawmakers didn't give the agency any direct funding to deal with chlamydia.
Candy Hadsall is an STD specialist at the Health Department. She said if Minnesotans want to stop the chlamydia epidemic, they need to come up with a new game plan.
"It isn't going to come from the Health Department," Hadsall said. "It's going to have to come from the people of Minnesota who say that having this level of chlamydia is unacceptable."
To get the ball rolling, the Health Department has created the Minnesota Chlamydia Partnership. The partnership includes business leaders, educators, health professionals and others who will share ideas with the agency on how to reduce chlamydia rates. One strategy the partnership hopes to address is the quality and availability of sexual health education.
Traditionally, Minnesota has relied on the schools to pass along prevention messages about sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia. But over the past fifteen years, many schools have cut back or eliminated their sex education programs.
Hadsall said kids need to be told that the only way to avoid getting chlamydia from an infected person is to abstain from sex or use a condom. But that message is controversial.
"It's a huge political issue," she said. "A lot of people believe that if we provide education to young people around how to protect yourselves if you're being sexual, they think that that is promoting kids to have sex."
Hadsall said the fact is, many young people are having sex. Sixty-nine percent of the Minnesotans who had positive Chlamydia tests last year were between the ages of 15 and 24.
Dr. Amy Gilbert treats adolescent patients at The Annex Teen Clinic in Robbinsdale. As a matter of routine practice, the clinic tests all of its teens for chlamydia, regardless of their reasons for seeking care.
Gilbert says most patients who have the bacteria don't experience the burning sensation or a discharge that sometimes signals the disease, so they have no idea that they're infected, making it even easier to spread.
At Gilbert's clinic, 12 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls tested positive for the disease in April, May and June 2010.
"You don't feel anything," Gilbert said. "Most girls and guys too don't have any symptoms. So, they're often surprised."
The disease is not a welcome surprise. But the good news is their positive test gets them the antibiotics they need and they get better.
Gilbert said untreated chlamydia is like a ticking time bomb. It's a major cause of infertility in the U.S.
"It can cause scarring in the fallopian tubes, so that the egg can't get through," Gilbert said. "So it's a significant cause of infertility. Sometimes it will cause chronic, ongoing pelvic pain that can no longer be treated by antibiotics because it's due to scarring, rather than to the presence of the bacterium anymore."
It can also cause potentially life-threatening ectopic pregnancies, where the egg gets fertilized in the scarred fallopian tubes and implants there, rather than the uterus. For males, long-term inflammation of the sexual organs can also cause infertility.
Gilbert said it's shocking that Minnesota isn't dedicating any money toward preventing chlamydia.
"This is not an inner city problem -- this is everywhere," she said. "And legislators throughout the state should know that and should be fighting to decrease chlamydia."
There have been attempts at the Legislature to fund STD prevention.
Rep. Maria Ruud, DFL-Minnetonka, is a nurse practitioner at a clinic in Uptown Minneapolis, where she treats many patients infected with chlamydia.
Two years ago, Ruud introduced a bill that would have directed the commissioner of Health to come up with a plan to reduce STD rates. Her bill received a hearing, but it didn't advance.
Ruud says she didn't detect any moral opposition from her legislative colleagues -- just concerns about funding the bill.
"Money is always going to be something that we're going to have to be struggling with," she said.
Ruud says if she's re-elected, she'll probably reintroduce her STD bill during the next legislative session -- even though funding is still a potential roadblock.
She says, at the very least, it would be a chance to make more of her colleagues aware of the state's chlamydia and STD problems.
"It's kind of an education process when you're at the Legislature, for other legislators," said Ruud. "I think you have to introduce the problem and educate legislators, so they have an understanding of what the problem is."
With more prevention money from state lawmakers unlikely for now, the work of the Minnesota Chlamydia Partnership may represent the state's best hope for reducing its STD rates in the short term.
There are signs that federal officials are interested in changing the way they spend money on sexually transmitted diseases.
During a national STD conference in March, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention described a new effort at the agency to take a more holistic view of sexual health. Hadsall said that would be a huge paradigm shift.
"It will mean that, while we haven't had money or an emphasis on prevention around STDs, we will begin to have that," Hadsall said. "That's clearly one of the things that needs to happen."
Hadsall predicts it will take time to see results. But she hopes in a few years, chlamydia and other STD infections will be tackled in the same comprehensive way as conditions like heart disease and cancer.

I am so impressed at how our members here continually research and gather information in order to make themselves informed! Also, I truly appreciate it when you pass the information on to us so that we might be able to learn something and go "Aha".

Hendriks leaves start with bruised right hand
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Right-hander Liam Hendriks left Tuesday's start against the Orioles in the third inning after being struck on his right hand with a line drive hit by Brian Roberts. He's considered day to day.
Hendriks said he was using his right hand to protect his face from getting hit. But he said he was lucky it was only a bruise that left his pinkie finger slightly swollen.
"I decided to stop it with my hand instead of my face," Hendriks said. "I had my hand in front of my glove that was in front of my face."
Hendriks, who appeared to be the club's top candidate for a back end of the rotation spot before the game, said he hopes to throw his scheduled bullpen session on Thursday. He was pitching well prior to being hit by the comebacker, tossing 2 2/3 scoreless innings. He gave up four hits and struck out two while improving his spring ERA to 4.15.
"It was just precautionary," said Hendriks about coming out of a game he was scheduled to throw 85-90 pitches in. "I feel fine. The ball was coming out good. It was just one of those things where they took me out just in case it was something more serious. But the pitch count thing does stink a little bit."
Hendriks said he still hasn't been told if he's made the team yet. The Twins reassigned right-handers Samuel Deduno and P.J. Walters to Minor League camp before Tuesday's game, which appeared to open the door for him to make the rotation.
"I have no idea yet," Hendriks said. "It's still up in the air. Obviously, it stinks. But at least it was a scoreless outing."

My "A-01" Homemade Steak Sauce - Now Mine Will Be the First One in the Phone Book!
Anyway, in a low-blood-sugar-induced act of desperation, I reached for the bottle of A1 steak sauce and covered my filet of "sole." Much to my surprise, the tangy brown sauce turned my inedible steak into a slightly less inedible steak. I started to understand the steak sauce phenomenon. It did a great job of covering up the less than stellar meat. So I thought, if this bottled sauce could make a bad steak better, what would an even better homemade steak sauce do for a good piece of meat? This recipe video I did for About.com shows what I came up with. It's really a simple and tasty sauce, and I was very impressed with the results. It is similar to the iconic A1, but doesn't have that slight bitterness, and is a bit less salty. Give it a try and enjoy!

Well, Im going to try it because my boyfriend BIG BEAR has no teeth (he also weighs 437 pounds and has no neck). I have to chop up his steak in the food processor and I think your sauce will make his "steak" taste better.
As a PROFESSIONAL CHEF (from Peter Kump's School in Brooklyn) I should of thought of this idea before.
I will post my opinion on my internationally famous website or on SeriousEats where I am a senior staff advisor.

This sounds like an excellent way to rescue less than stellar steak. I just did a post about tenderizing steak with salt--a tip I learned from another blogger--that can also make even less expensive cuts more flavorful.

Chef John -- this sauce is amazing: exactly as described. I've been putting dabs of A-1 on less-than-perfect steaks for 50 years, and never quite 'got it'. But this sauce does the trick. And it's good on potatoes, eggs, what else...

Reflections on Youth
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the Reflections on Youth (RoY) webpage at The University of Mount Union!
The following pieces were written by my Psychology of Gender (PY 385) students. Students who enroll in this class participate in a service learning project that partners with the Girls Together (GT) Program. We have been coordinating the project with the YWCA and Alliance Middle School for the last four years. The RoY essay was introduced into my course two years ago and has been well-received by members of the GT program. This year, since the program has expanded to include students at Northside Elementary and Alliance High School, we thought it would be helpful to launch a website based on the Reflections on Youth. This way, all of the GT participants could read about what the PY 385 students have shared about their life experiences.
The RoY essay requires PY 385 students to share personal life experiences that occurred during their childhood or adolescence. These can involve positive or negative experiences with academic goals, body image, career goals, family, friends, identity formation, physical and learning differences, or any other topic they feel is relevant to write about. They are asked to reflect on what happened, how it made them feel, and what they did to get through the experience (especially if it was negative). They are also asked to impart some wisdom about growing up and facing different types of adversity. In addition to their own reflections and pieces of advice, they are also asked to interview someone else (a parent, friend, teacher, etc.) who inspires them. Mainly, the idea behind these two assignments is to offer encouraging words to those who may be feeling overwhelmed or alone in their own situations.
We all know that K-12 school settings can be hard places to be in sometimes. Pressures to do well, both academically and socially, exist. Hopefully by sharing their stories and insights, my PY 385 students will convey to their audience that things do get better and help and support can always be found. If anything, my PY 385 students hope that their audience can relate to their stories and learn something from their insights on life.
On behalf of my PY 385students, both past and present, I wish our audience the best of luck and the strength and courage they need to get through any adverse situations they may face. Enjoy the following Reflections on Youth.
With warm regards,
Sarah E. Torok, Ph.D.

Isn't it always the case where your best planned trade out of a group is the one you didn't do? F5 Networks (FFIV) fits that bill for me. The outlined trade of call spreads and calendar spreads has nearly doubled on the day. Meanwhile, the Netflix (NFLX) trade has gone from the high $12s to just over $15 and the nearly $25 spent on the Apple (AAPL) trade is trading only about a dollar higher.
Now, I can't complain about the other two trades. I wasn't looking for home runs, but those stocks delivered home runs for anyone who played the direction correctly or went long volatility. The FFIV trade was also a home run, but only if you got off the bench. My backside is still squarely planted there. It's a new day, though, and the market gives new opportunities....276 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

A high stakes battle over health care is raging at the state Capitol over accepting billions in federal money for health care. Governor Rick Scott and the state Senate are on one side, the House Speaker on the other.
On one side of the Capitol, a Big Blue mobile home pushing healthy life styles, on the other, buses from Orlando and Tampa bringing dozens of health care workers to push for expanded care. "And we are the working class people. We're the ones who get left behind every time.", says Paulet Harrison, Orlando.
Reporter: "How many people do you know that don't have health insurance?"
Darrell Condry ,TPA Nurse: "I can't even count."
Reporter: "And you think this will help?"
Darrell Condry: "This will help. I know personally out in my family it would help some people."
Up in the air is a plan to cover one point three million Floridians who don't now have insurance, all at federal expense for the first three years.
Jacksonville Congresswoman Corrine Brown, says ignoring the money is foolish. "We have one million Floridians that need health care. Three years is completely paid for.", says Rep. Brown.
On the same side are the Governor and state Senate who want the money. The powerful House Speaker is saying no. "I think that is one of the biggest issues that will have to either overcome or it's going to be a deal breaker whether or not we take the federal money." , says Rep. Richard Corcoran, R-New Port Richey.
So, in addition to this human presence.
"We want to send a message to the House today, that that is unacceptable.", says Roxey Nelson, SEIU Organizer.
New TV spots are hitting the airways, trying to peel off GOP House members.
"House Speaker Will Weatherford is putting politics ahead of working families.", proclaims one of the ads.
Governor Rick Scott has made it clear he thinks the coverage is important and that the House will eventually come around.

How To Cut Calories When Eating Out From The Giant Eagle Health Library
Whether you're trying to lose excess pounds or maintain a healthy weight, eating out in restaurants can sabotage your goals.
To better control your calorie intake you need to know how much you eat. But if you're like most Americans, proper serving sizes are a mystery, thanks to mega-burgers, biggie fries, and saucer-sized bagels.
The following suggestions can help you downsize restaurant meals and maintain your weight and health when dining out:
- Plan for huge portions. To compensate, share an entrée with a dining companion or order a half portion or an appetizer for a main course. Be careful of appetizers, though; many are particularly high in fat.
- Watch for these terms. Any dishes that contain the following descriptive words in their names are high in calories and fat: Alfredo, basted, batter-dipped, breaded, creamy, crispy, deep-fried, pan-fried, scalloped, au gratin, or in cream or butter sauce.
- Pass up these sizes. The following words indicate meals that are even larger than the standard ones--combo, feast, grande, jumbo, king- or queen-sized, and supreme. Words such as kiddie, luncheon, petite, small plate, regular, and salad-sized indicate more reasonable portions.
- Order the smallest burger on the menu. Super-sized burgers with all the toppings (cheese, bacon, mayonnaise, and special sauces) often contain half the calories and all the fat you should eat in a day. Regular or kiddie burgers topped with ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles (all of which are fat-free) are closer to the recommended meat portion size of 3 ounces and much lower in calories and fat.
- Order six-inch subs and go easy on the extras. Subs can be healthy, low-fat sandwiches if made with turkey, ham, or low-fat cheese, served on whole-grain buns, and dressed with low-fat mayonnaise, vinegar, and fresh vegetables. Avoid 12-inch subs, meatballs, steak, classic cold cuts such as salami and bologna, bacon, and full-fat cheese.
- Get a healthy wrap. Wraps are large flour tortillas stuffed with salad ingredients, chicken, fish, beans, and vegetables. They sound healthy enough, but often they're gigantic and loaded with high-fat sauces. For a reasonably-sized meal, order a half-wrap or split one with a friend, and ask for half the sauce.
- Measure healthy portions with your hand. A serving of meat, chicken, or fish should be the size of your palm; a serving of potatoes or rice, the size of your fist; pasta, two fistfuls; pasta sauce, one fistful; a roll, the size of your fist; and two slices of bread, as thick as your palm.
- Avoid all-you-can-eat buffets. You'll likely overeat to get your money's worth. If the people you're with insist on buffet dining, opt for fresh fruits, salads with low-fat dressings, broiled entrées, and steamed vegetables. Resist the temptation to go for seconds.
- Ask for dressings on the side. That way, you control the amount that goes on your salad. Salads made from fresh greens and plenty of vegetables are low in calories and fat-free. To keep the salad healthy, it's necessary to use as little dressing as possible.
- Omit the extras. If your companions don't mind, ask the server to remove temptations, such as bread and butter, and chips and dip.
- Order first. By doing so, you're less likely to be swayed by your dining companions' choices, which may be loaded with fat and calories.

Nattokinase is an enzyme isolated from Natto, a traditional Japanese fermented soy food. Natto has been consumed safely for thousands of years for its numerous health benefits. More recently, both clinical and non-clinical studies have demonstrated that Nattokinase supports heart health and supports healthy circulation. Each serving of Nattokinase provides 2000 FU (Fibrinolytic Units) to help keep already healthy levels of blood clotting factors within a normal range.
Natto is a food that has been use in Japanese culture for over 1000 years for its numerous health benefits. Natto is made through a fermentation process by adding Bacillus natto, a useful bacterium, to boiled soybeans, resulting in the production of the Nattokinase enzyme.
Enzymes are biochemical catalysts and without them life could not exist. Nattokinase is a systemic enzyme that can be absorbed from the digestive tract and used by the body. Nattokinase is so useful that it has been referred to as the "Enzyme of Enzymes".
In recent years, Nattokinase has been the subject of at least 17 scientific studies. These clinical and non-clinical studies have demonstrated that Nattokinase supports heart health, promotes healthy circulation, and helps to keep already healthy levels of blood clotting factors within a normal range.
Nattokinase activity is often expressed in Fibrinolytic Units, a term indicating its relative potency. Each serving of Protocol for Life Balance Nattokinase provides 2000 FU (Fibrinolytic Units).

Angels-Twins Series Finale Postponed By Rain
MINNEAPOLIS — The way the Los Angeles Angels have begun this season, an unexpected break in the schedule might not be so bad.
The Angels had their series finale at Minnesota on Wednesday night postponed by a cold rain that was turning to snow, a decision made about 15 minutes before the scheduled start. The Twins said a makeup date had not been determined.
The Twins won the first two games of the series to drop the Angels to 4-10, matching the worst start in franchise history set in their inaugural season of 1961. They've never been 4-11 after 15 games, so after an already-planned day off on Thursday they'll try to avoid that mark when they host the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
"It's neither here nor there," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said in the visiting office at Target Field after the game was called. "At some point you want to play, because you know you need to play to get where you want to be, but it is what it is."
The temperature at the time of postponement was 38 degrees. After a gray-but-dry afternoon, the rain started during batting practice, a session the Angels cut short. Scioscia said the precipitation turned to sleet and snow while the players were hitting.
"There's definite documentation of snow," he said. "We took a sample."
Both teams had expressed confidence they'd at least be able to get started, but the radar shifted as the start time drew nearer.
The forecast was calling for snow later Wednesday night and all day Thursday plus strong wind, so despite the mutual off day there was no consideration given to waiting another day. The Angels were planning to fly back to Southern California, weather permitting, as originally scheduled Wednesday night. Scioscia joked he'd run the de-icing machine himself if necessary to fly the plane home.
This was the second postponement in four days for the Twins. They had their game on Sunday afternoon against the New York Mets washed out by inclement weather, too, a blend of rain, sleet and snow that prompted the decision more than four hours before that game was to begin.
Over the three previous seasons at Target Field, the Twins had a total of five postponements, plus one suspended game completed the next day. They also had a pair of April postponements in 2011.
"Everybody wanted to try to figure out a way to play this, but it's just not conducive. It's just going to do that rain all night long," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It's not going to be a good situation for either team because they're going to have to fly back in here, but it's just the way it is. You can't control that stuff. You have to do what's right for tonight, and starting out there in that rain and stuff with the field getting like it is is not good."
There are five other common off dates for these teams:
– June 24: The Twins play at Cleveland the day before and Miami the day after. The Angels play at home the day before and at Detroit the day after.
– July 18: Both teams would have to sacrifice a day of their All-Star break. Both teams play at home the day after.
– Aug. 8: The Twins play at Kansas City the day before and at Chicago the day after. The Angels play at home the day before and at Cleveland the day after.
– Aug. 26: The Twins play at Cleveland the day before and at home the day after. The Angels play at Seattle the day before and at Tampa Bay the day after.
– Sept. 9: The Twins play at home the day before and the day after. The Angels play at home the day before and at Toronto the day after.
Whenever this game is made up, the Angels hope to be playing better. With the sixth-highest payroll in the majors, they've been a flop so far, and the biggest problem is starting pitching. Their collective 6.07 ERA is the worst in the majors.
The Twins bumped their starters back for the three-game series in Chicago starting Friday against the White Sox. Vance Worley, the scheduled starter Wednesday, will pitch Friday.

Expecting Stranger Than Fiction actress Maggie Gyllenhaal and her husband Peter Sarsgaard were spotted enjoying some husband and wife alone time on Thursday (April 19) in New York City.
The couple – who are parents to 5-year-old Ramona and are expecting a baby girl to join the family within the next few months – strolled side by side until Peter decided it was time to hail a cab. Maggie looked comfortable donning a bright red dress and a pair of Birkenstock-type sandals.
Although the famous pair have revealed the gender of their unborn child, they have made it clear that they will remain mum on her due date and all details surrounding her upcoming birth.

Lupus Patients Pampered at Free Wellness Day
"Living Life Healthy with Lupus: Looking and Feeling Good" Event Launches Lupus Awareness Month 2013 in NYC
To kick off Lupus Awareness Month, the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation collaborated with the Hospital for Special Surgery's (HSS) Lupus Support Programs to hold the 6th annual "Living Life Healthy with Lupus: Looking and Feeling Good" wellness event.
Many people with lupus brought along a family member or friend to enjoy a day focused on feeling better—inside and out. The free program offered complimentary demonstrations from makeup artists, massage therapists, hairstylists, and more.
Making the Most of Every Doctor's Visit
The presentation "Talking with Your Doctor: What You Should Know" by Monica Richey, MSN, from the Lupus Center at HSS focused on preparing for each doctor's visit and making every minute count by asking questions and making sure you don't downplay or exaggerate your symptoms.
Did you know that on average Americans get 18 minutes with their doctors at a visit? To prepare for this visit Monica recommends making a list of all your symptoms and prioritizing them. Then review with your doctor why you are there and set an agenda. Plan to discuss 3 to 6 concerns per visit and tell the doctor your top 2 or 3 concerns. Make sure you tell your doctor about symptoms that are bothering you and review the course of action before you leave. If you don't understand the doctor's instructions, ask him/her to repeat them until you are clear.
Monica's top three recommended questions:
- What is my main problem?
- What do I need to do?
- Why is it important for me to do this?
Avoiding Joint and Muscle Pain
Massage therapist Samantha Paige-Grueber offers these suggestions:
- Avoid gripping or holding tightly for long periods (or maybe not so long) of time as that can cause shoulder and or neck pain. The muscles for your hands are in your arms. When you hold or grip tightly those muscles tighten. That tightness will extend up the entire arm into the shoulder and neck, causing pain. If and when you can become aware of this pattern you can change it. Simply, when you notice tightness in your arm, release whatever you are doing and shake out your hand and arm. Think of your hand and arm becoming light and free from stress. If you are carrying a somewhat heavy package, do not lock your elbows; carry the package using your entire arm.
- Try to get a massage at least once a month, as the benefits to your muscles are cumulative. The Lupus Project was started in order to make massage affordable. The Massage Therapy Resource Guide, available on the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation's website, lists American Massage Therapy Association massage therapists who are open to offering massage therapy on a sliding scale based on income. Please take the reference guide or go online and look for a therapist. Talk to them. We are all here for you!
Looking Good Helps You Feel Good
Representatives from Dermablend and Mary Kay provided great information about makeup and skin care. Martha demonstrated how to use Dermablend products to cover blemishes, rashes and even tattoos. Mary Kay representatives Janet and Sharmaine talked with women about the importance of a good skin regimen - cleanse, moisturize and protect.
Also veterans of the event, Stacey Brown of Stacey and Co. and her colleagues provided new hairstyles and manicures for participants. Stacey's tips for healthy hair and skin include keeping your hair moisturized in order to avoid dryness that leads to breakage and using sunscreen all year round regardless of your skin tone or texture. For women who choose to wear a wig Saskia demonstrated wigs from Andrew DiSimone.
Special thanks to our supporters:

I think if you are going to trade with someone you don't know , you should have them send you a link to the positive feed back list where they are listed. If they have no feed back, I think you should hold there disc till yours arrives. Just my 2 cents.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — Walgreens' fiscal fourth quarter net income fell 55% compared with a year ago when the drugstore operator recorded a big business sale gain. However, its adjusted earnings still beat analysts' expectations.
Walgreen earned $353 million for the quarter ended Aug. 31, compared with $792 million a year ago. On an adjusted basis, Walgreen earned $553 million versus $599 million a year earlier. Adjusted earnings excluded acquisition-related costs and costs related to inventory.
Revenue fell 5% to $17.1 billion, from $18 billion a year ago. The chain was impacted by a split with pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts Holding Co. that shifted customers away from its stores. The companies have since agreed to a new contract, but it didn't start until Sept. 15.
"This was a challenging, but very important year for Walgreens, and we finished with a tough quarter. While we controlled costs and generated strong cash flow in the fourth quarter, our performance also reflected a strategic shift in promotional spending, a continued economically challenged consumer, and the impact from Express Scripts," said Walgreens president and CEO Greg Wasson. "Entering the new fiscal year, we believe we are positioned for growth as we benefit from the launch of our Balance Rewards loyalty program, our reentry into the Express Scripts pharmacy provider network and our execution of the Alliance Boots strategic partnership."
For the full fiscal year, Walgreen earned $2.13 billion, or $2.42 per share, on $71.63 billion in revenue.

text: I think signing Pietrus, Michael Redd, or even Gary Forbes might be the best way to go in the meantime and just play this season out. It's still possible that they can stay in the middle of the pack if they can pick up a player that can knock down open jumpers. If they do that and Danny returns in January, they could go on a run to finish the season on a roll. They need a little outside help to get by until then.
