Benjamin Netanyahu, Barack Obama speak on Iran 'red line'
The United States is committed to Israel's security and the two nations are in "full agreement" on the goal of preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, President Barack Obama told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"The prime minister welcomed President Obama's commitment before the United Nations General Assembly to do what we must to achieve that goal," according to a White House statement.
Obama and Netanyahu spoke by telephone Friday, the White House said in a statement. The call was Obama's only publicly announced one-on-one discussion with a foreign leader during a week when the United Nations General Assembly is holding its opening session.
The White House statement didn't say how long the conversation lasted or give details about the discussion.
The conversation followed weeks of tensions between the leaders over how aggressively to confront Iran over its atomic weapons program. It also comes as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney tries to use the rift to raise doubts with American Jewish voters about Obama's commitment to Israel.
Netanyahu has been pushing the U.S. and western nations to set a "red line" at which point Iran's nuclear development would warrant a military response. Obama, while urging more time for negotiations and for economic sanctions to pressure Iran, has said the U.S. won't allow the Islamic Republic to get a nuclear weapon.

Watch out, Arabia, Ahmed Helmy [2] is gonna be checkin' out your mad skillz next season on 'Arabs Got Talent'. The funny man from Egypt recently made a trip to Beirut to sign the contract with MBC group to join the fine league of judges on the show. After weeks of negotiations with the media company, a mutual agreement was finally made, and Ahmed is signed, sealed, delivered and theirs.
Say goodbye to Saudi comedian Naser Al Qasabi [3] 'cause Ahmed is comin' to town! The Egyptian comedian was so excited he screamed, shouted, and tweeted [4] it all out on his official page, saying, "There is a big chance I will be a judge on Arabs Got Talent in its third season, instead of star celebrity Naser Al Qasabi...," according to Sayidaty.net.
Ahmed is doing as the judges do and will be filming a commercial for the program similar to those of his colleagues: Egyptian star Ali Jaber and Lebanese diva singer Najwa Karam.
Another change for the hit show will be the location of the final live episodes for season three. They will be filmed at the Platina Theater, instead of taking place at Casino Lebanon.
What other surprises are in store next season, we'll have to wait and see! Any guesses on what they will be? Please share by commenting below.

Dreams are powerful. Dreams often act as inter-dimensional gateways of human experience. Last night I had a dream I can now merely hold up its torn, detached, unmatched pieces to the light and, in some attempt of seeing my dream more clearly, go blind. There were people perched in trees, swaying to music; some had hair in all different colors, their bodies resembling the Egyptian Ka. They blew rings of smoke into the air and some turned their human eyes with a birdlike quickness to watch me. Only I was not me. I was someone else and everyone else; weve had those experiences havent we? Zooming in and out of faces, feeling what they feel, doing what they do. Sometimes all those faces in dreams become you, and all those actions, that somehow dwindle for hour upon hour until that alarm clock rings, are you. It seems as if an uncoordinated essence is pondered on, then shaken up with all the fears and loves imaginable, each different and the same to the sleeping circle. But theres more, so much more to the depths of dreams besides disorienting the sleeper momentarily. I feel that if all our dreams, twinkling with the sleep in our eyes, would be laid out and figured out then its demeanor will not be so mysterious, and the influence it might have on everyday life would become excruciatingly predictable. So sweet is then the unknown

MONTREAL, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- A court in Montreal delayed its determination of whether a man accused of an election night shooting at a political rally is competent to stand trial.
The psychiatric evaluation of Richard Henry Bain was postponed until the new year Monday after the court was informed he refused to cooperate with a doctor at Montreal's Pinal Institute who addressed him in French. Another doctor will evaluate him, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
Bain faces 16 charges in connection with a shooting Sept. 5 at a Parti Quebecois victory rally, at which technician Denis Blanchette was killed and a colleague seriously injured.
Bain told the court Monday he was a "Christian soldier" and that Canadians would not surrender to "evil separatists."
The initial evaluation was ordered at a hearing 10 days ago, when Bain interrupted the proceedings with outbursts, the CBC said.
His court-appointed lawyer, Elfriede Duclervil, said it was next to impossible to build a successful defense for he client because he does not answer her questions rationally.

MARATHON runners expect to go through pain, but for Graham Colborne that is an understatement.
Whilst some might have to nurse blisters or muscle strains during the race, the 49-year-old struggled around the course with a broken foot.
Graham endured agony with every step of the last 18 miles and 385 yards of the London Marathon after suffering the injury just eight miles into the London Marathon But it was the memory of his late mother that kept him going.
Graham, from Southampton, had been training since October for the 26.2-mile race on Sunday that saw thousands of people pound the pavements raising money for good causes.
But within two hoursdisaster struck when he trod on a full water bottle.
Although he managed not to fall, he knew immediately something was wrong as he felt "excruciating" pain.
St John Ambulance staff at the nine-mile mark strapped his foot up and gave him paracetamol.
Finish line
But despite still being in severe pain, the factory worker was determined to cross the finish line.
Graham, who will now be in plaster and on crutches for six weeks, walked and ran for the next four-and-a-quarter hours in agony without telling friends or family as he did not want to worry them.
He admitted that at points he felt like giving up, but it was thinking of the mother he lost only two months ago that spurred him on.
Doreen Colborne, of Harefield, died in February aged 70 after suffering from lung and kidney cancer, and Graham was running to help Macmillan Cancer Support.
The charity is close to his heart as it was Macmillan nurses that helped care for his mother, who had planned to watch him race on television.
Graham had a final burst of adrenaline as he saw he was going to be overtaken by women carrying a wooden horse and was able to sprint the last 50 yards to the finish line, crossing in six hours 21 minutes.
But afterwards he was unable to walk and an x-ray at St Thomas' Hospital in London later revealed the fracture.
"The doctor asked me how I carried on, and I don't know – it was the adrenaline," said Graham, of Barrow Down Gardens, Hightown.
"I took inspiration from my mum's picture on my running shirt – every time I felt down I looked at it and it kept me going.
"She'd have been so proud."
Although Graham's efforts have raised nearly £1,800, he told the Daily Echo he would "never again" do another marathon.

Java Program Idea
I need an Idea for a simple java program for a class I am taking. It would be nice if the individual who suggests the idea has already written the program so I could ask for help along the way if I get stuck. Thanks! Program requirements are below.
Proposal and Final Project Specifications
The project is LARGE programming assignment to demonstrate your knowledge of classes and data structures. You must include one class and one data structure as a minimum.
The proposal will include a general description of your project, one paragraph or two.
A top-down design, including outlines, structure boxes, pseudocode
A time line based
This will be handed back with necessary improvements noted.
You will re-design your approach if necessary for instructors final approval.
The project
This is a coding project, it will be graded as follows
10% Modularity
30% code compiles and works correctly for all scenarios
10% code documentation (comments)
10% readability, style
10% time log
10% documentation (manual)
10% observations and final report
10% demonstration
Design and Modularity: were functions truly subtasks, were functions performing too many subtasks?
Code compiles and works correctly for all scenarios ( your own scenarios and ones a user might try to get the program to crash or produce incorrect results.)
Code documentation (comments): Are variables named to help explain their role? Do you explain in comments what the code is doing?
Readability and style: spacing, writing complicated lines of code with several comments or writing simple lines and few comments (depends on the task and your style.) Your style is consistent, variable naming conventions, etc.
Time Log: each time you work on your program, log the date, hours worked and what you accomplished. Also note any observations or concerns. Did you decide to have your function do more than state in your design? Why? etc
Documentation(Manual): Write a users manual that I could follow to run your program and access all of its features.
Observations and final report: This will be two pages. You will compare your proposed time line with your actual time line and summaries of what you observed during your coding process.
Demonstration: Show me your program.
You should have in your time line to be finished before this to allow yourself testing time.

The US embassy will not be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem before a peace deal between Israel and Palestine is reached. Having talked to the Arab leaders, US President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have finally understood the importance of such a move.
It would be an offense not only for the Arab world but also for international relations, international law, and the US in particular. Saying something on the campaign trail is one thing; acting as US President means something else.
The Trump administration will weigh the decision in the light whether it will support the peace process or not. Trump should not be led astray by Benjamin Netanyahu who argues that such a move would help the peace process and would shatter Palestinians fantasies. So far, Israel never made concessions after they got their wishes fulfilled.
The different US administration can tell the world a thing or two about it. Trump should know that Netanyahu's word can't be trusted. In 2011, French President Nikolas Sarkozy told President Obama: "I cannot bear Netanyahu, he's a liar."
Despite Trump's pro-Israel bias, the national interest of the US still prevails over the dictate of a tiny country, at least for the time being. Especially one guy is extremely furious: Casino mogul and Zionist billionaire Sheldon Adelson who donated millions of US dollars to the Trump campaign and now wants his wishes fulfilled.
Adelson, it is said, reacted furiously after Tillerson's comments on NBC's "Meet the Press." The casino tycoon was also upset because the Trump administration hasn't hired some of the one-sided Middle East advisers from the Clinton or George W. Bush administration. If Trump is smart, he should not rely on these people because they all put Israeli interests over US ones.
If the Trump administration moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, the US would isolate itself on the international scene. The self-image of a so-called "honest broker" wouldn't mean a thing. At least, right now, it means little. On October 23, 1995, the US Congress passed "The Jerusalem Embassy Act" to foster the move to the US embassy. But up till now, every US President had paid lip service to this call but didn't act. So, why should Trump keep his campaign promise?
The Trump administration should put pressure on Netanyahu to stop the expansion of settlements to restore its credibility in the Middle East. Netanyahu will do everything in the world, to drag the US into a war with Iran. Obama could resist this pressure. Hopefully, Trump will also for the benefit of the US. Israel wants to destroy Iran, to expand its hegemony from the Persian Golf to Marrocco. To control this region, Iran is the last obstacle.
Perhaps the Trump administration has learned something from the mistakes made by George W. Bush. He has led the US into never ending wars against fictitious wars on terror. As a candidate, Trump seemed to have understood it. Will he be as wise as US president?

JizzleJazzle's Horoscope Aug 26 - Sept 1, 2011
Better nights, times and days. Next week.
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius:
This is not the time to act shy when in the presence of others. When you flash or moon a crowd you just may pick up a new business opportunity. It works for reality stars all the time.
Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo:
It's time you stood your ground and started demanding what you're worth. So prepare to downsize a whole lot in your life.
Libra, Aquarius and Gemini:
This is the week of truth or dare for you which will determine if you can tell a lie and avoid keeping your word. Based on your track record I think you'll do just fine.
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces:
This week you'll learn that a little imagination can go a long way, especially when the cable is out.
I'm JizzleJazzle and remember don't be good, be fabulous.

Sport in brief: Cycling - Sam Bennett pipped on line
Ireland's Sam Bennett came agonisingly close to the biggest victory of his career when he was caught just metres from the line to finish second on stage two of the Tour of Britain.
The 22-year-old Carrick-On-Suir rider, who has been in great form on the Belgian circuit, caught and passed lone escapee Thomas Lofkvist of IAM Cycling on the climb to the finish but was edged out in the final metres by Milan-San-Remo winner Gerald Ciolek.
"Maybe I went a bit early but when I went, I didn't even know I got a gap," said Bennett. "Eventually, I saw that I had a bit of a gap but when Ciolek got up to me, he kicked again and I just didn't have another kick in me.
"I came with the ambition of winning a stage or trying to get a podium place so it's a good start to the week. I can't really be disappointed."
Bennett is in the running for the last spot on the four-man Irish team that will tackle the world road race championships in Italy in two weeks' time.
Lee guilty of match-fixing
Former world No 5 Stephen Lee has been found guilty of fixing seven matches.The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association announced the verdict yesterday, and will decide on the player's sanction at a separate hearing on September 24. Lee (38) has been suspended since October last year and faces a possible lifetime ban.
The WPBSA said the Englishman fixed matches across four tournaments – the 2008 Malta Cup, the 2008 UK Championship, the 2009 China Open and the 2009 World Championship.
It is the biggest case of match-fixing to hit snooker since Australian Quinten Hann was suspended for eight years in 2006.

Man rescued from tree after motorized glider accident
Firefighters said they rescued a man who became stuck in a tree Sunday as he flew a motorized glider in Patchogue.
Joe Frisina, first lieutenant of the Patchogue Fire Department, said rescuers got to the wooded area near Conklin Avenue where the glider hit the tree about 4 p.m.
When they arrived, they saw a man strapped into the motorized glider who was stuck in a tree about 70 feet off the ground, he said.
The tree was surrounded by dense brush, making rescue attempts difficult, he said.
"The challenge we had was the denseness of the woods," Frisina said. "We had to cut down a lot of brush and tree [branches] to get to him."
It took about two hours for rescuers to clear enough brush and position the ladder truck close enough to reach the man, who by that time had grown antsy and began making some movements, Frisina said.
"We got a little worried that he was going to fall out of the tree on his own," he said.
Rescuers placed air bags under the tree, and ultimately were able to get the man onto the ladder and down to safety.
As the man was taken to a hospital for treatment of what Suffolk County police said were non-life-threatening injuries, firefighters returned to the tree to retrieve the damaged glider.
Frisina said the owner of the glider had been waiting on the ground, concerned for his friend.
"I think he was just flying too low and didn't realize how close the tree was," Frisina said.
Several agencies, including Suffolk police emergency services, aviation and patrol officers, the New York Police Department aviation unit and the Brookhaven Technical Rescue Task Force, responded to the scene, authorities said.

Generic Name: oxymorphone (OX ee MOR fone)
Brand Name: Opana, Opana ER, Numorphan HCl
What is oxymorphone?
Oxymorphone is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.
Oxymorphone is used to treat moderate to severe pain.
The extended-release form of this medicine is for around-the-clock treatment of pain. This form of oxymorphone is not for use on an as-needed basis for pain.
Oxymorphone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about oxymorphone?
You should not use this medicine if you have severe asthma or breathing problems, a blockage in your stomach or intestines, or moderate to severe liver disease.
Oxymorphone can slow or stop your breathing, and may be habit-forming. MISUSE OF THIS MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription.
Taking this medicine during pregnancy may cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the newborn.
Fatal side effects can occur if you use this medicine with alcohol, or with other drugs that cause drowsiness or slow your breathing.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using oxymorphone?
You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to oxymorphone, or if you have:
severe asthma or breathing problems;
a blockage in your stomach or intestines; or
moderate to severe liver disease.
Some medicines can interact with oxymorphone and cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. Be sure your doctor knows if you also take stimulant medicine, opioid medicine, herbal products, or medicine for depression, mental illness, Parkinson's disease, migraine headaches, serious infections, or prevention of nausea and vomiting. Ask your doctor before making any changes in how or when you take your medications.
To make sure oxymorphone is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:
any type of breathing problem or lung disease;
a head injury, brain tumor, or seizures;
drug or alcohol addiction, or mental illness;
urination problems;
liver or kidney problems;
problems with your gallbladder, pancreas, or thyroid; or
if you use a sedative like Valium (diazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam, Ativan, Klonopin, Restoril, Tranxene, Versed, Xanax, and others).
If you use oxymorphone while you are pregnant, your baby could become dependent on the drug. This can cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the baby after it is born. Babies born dependent on habit-forming medicine may need medical treatment for several weeks.
It is not known whether oxymorphone passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I use oxymorphone?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Oxymorphone can slow or stop your breathing, especially when you start using this medicine or whenever your dose is changed. Never use oxymorphone in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Oxymorphone may be habit-forming, even at regular doses. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Selling or giving away oxymorphone is against the law.
Always check your bottle to make sure you have received the correct pills (same brand and type) of medicine prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine you receive at the pharmacy.
Stop taking all other around-the-clock narcotic pain medications when you start taking oxymorphone.
Take oxymorphone on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
Do not crush, break, or open an extended-release pill. Swallow it whole to avoid exposure to a potentially fatal dose.
Some forms of oxymorphone are made with ingredients that are not absorbed in the body. Part of the tablet may appear in your stool. This is a normal side effect of oxymorphone and will not make the medication less effective.
Do not stop using this medicine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using oxymorphone.
Never crush or break a oxymorphone pill to inhale the powder or mix it into a liquid to inject the drug into your vein. This practice has resulted in death with the misuse of oxymorphone and similar prescription drugs.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Keep track of your medicine. Oxymorphone is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
Do not keep leftover oxymorphone pills. Ask your pharmacist where to locate a drug take-back disposal program. If there is no take-back program, flush any unused pills down the toilet.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since oxymorphone is used for pain, you are not likely to miss a dose. Skip any missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. A oxymorphone overdose can be fatal, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription.
Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, muscle weakness, confusion, cold and clammy skin, pinpoint pupils, shallow breathing, slow heart rate, fainting, or coma.
What should I avoid while using oxymorphone?
Do not drink alcohol. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with oxymorphone.
This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how oxymorphone will affect you. Dizziness or severe drowsiness can cause falls or other accidents.
Oxymorphone side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Like other narcotic medicines, oxymorphone can slow your breathing. Death may occur if breathing becomes too weak.
A person caring for you should seek emergency medical attention if you have slow breathing with long pauses, blue colored lips, or if you are hard to wake up.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
weak or shallow breathing;
a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out;
seizure (convulsions);
chest pain, wheezing, cough with yellow or green mucus;
severe vomiting; or
low cortisol levels--nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dizziness, worsening tiredness or weakness.
Seek medical attention right away if you have symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as: agitation, hallucinations, fever, sweating, shivering, fast heart rate, muscle stiffness, twitching, loss of coordination, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Serious side effects may be more likely in older adults and those who are malnourished or debilitated.
Long-term use of opioid medication may affect fertility (ability to have children) in men or women. It is not known whether opioid effects on fertility are permanent.
Common side effects may include:
stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea;
dizziness, drowsiness, headache, tired feeling;
dry mouth, increased sweating;
sleep problems (insomnia); or
mild rash or itching.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Oxymorphone dosing information
Usual Adult Dose for Pain:
The following dosing recommendations can only be considered suggested approaches to what is actually a series of clinical decisions over time; each patient should be managed individually.
Patients Who Are Not Opioid-Experienced:
-Initial dose: 10 to 20 mg orally every 4 to 6 hours; may consider 5 mg orally every 4 to 6 hours if deemed necessary
-Maintenance dose: Titrate cautiously to an acceptable level of analgesia taking into account the pain intensity and side effects experienced.
Conversion from Injection to Oral:
-Administering 10 times the total daily parenteral dose in 4 to 6 equally divided oral oxymorphone doses.
Conversion from Other Oral Opioids to Oral Oxymorphone:
-Determine equipotent dose using published potency tables; it is safest to start therapy by administering one-half the calculated total daily oxymorphone requirement in 4 to 6 equally divided oral doses every 4 to 6 hours and gradually adjust dose as needed.
-The oxymorphone 5 mg tablet strength is available as both immediate-release and extended-release; it is important to clarify which product is being used.
-Initiation of therapy with oral doses higher than 20 mg is not recommended because of potential serious side effects.
-Dose conversion should be done carefully and with close monitoring due to large patient variability in regards to opioid analgesic response.
-Upon cessation of therapy, taper gradually in physically dependent patient.
Use: For the relief of moderate to severe pain where the use of an opioid is appropriate.
Initial dose: 0.5 mg IV or 1 mg to 1.5 mg IM/subcutaneously every 4 to 6 hours as needed
Maintenance dose: Titrate cautiously to an acceptable level of analgesia taking into account the pain intensity and side effects experienced.
Conversion from Oral to Injection
-Patients receiving oral oxymorphone may be converted to injection by administering one-tenth the total daily oral dose in 4 to 6 equally divided parenteral doses.
-Doses are adjusted to an acceptable level of analgesia taking into account the pain intensity and side effects experienced.
-Dose conversion should be done carefully and with close monitoring due to large patient variability in regards to opioid analgesic response.
-For the relief of moderate to severe pain where the use of an opioid is appropriate.
-For relief of anxiety in patients with dyspnea associated with pulmonary edema secondary to acute left ventricular dysfunction.
Usual Adult Dose for Labor Pain:
Initial dose: 0.5 mg to 1 mg intramuscularly
Comments: Use caution during labor as opioids are known to cross the placenta and may produce respiratory depression in neonates; monitor neonates closely for signs of respiratory depression.
Use: For obstetrical analgesia.
Usual Adult Dose for Chronic Pain:
The following dosing recommendations can only be considered suggested approaches to what is actually a series of clinical decisions over time; each patient should be managed individually.
Use as the First Opioid Analgesic or for those who are NOT Opioid Tolerant:
Initial dose: Extended-release tablets: 5 mg orally every 12 hours
Immediate-Release Oxymorphone to Extended-Release Oxymorphone Tablets:
-Administer one-half the patient's total daily immediate-release requirement as extended-release tablet taken orally every 12 hours
Parenteral Oxymorphone to Extended-Release Oxymorphone:
-Give 10 times the patient's total daily parenteral oxymorphone dose as extended-release tablet taken in 2 equally divided doses orally every 12 hours.
From Other Oral Opioids to Oxymorphone Extended-Release Tablets:
-Discontinue all other around-the-clock opioid drugs when oxymorphone extended-release therapy is initiated.
-Published potency tables can be used to estimate a patient's 24-hour oral oxymorphone requirement; however, due to substantial inter-patient variability, the conversion should then underestimate a patient's 24-hour requirement and provide rescue medication as the dose is titrated.
-Alternatively, the following conversion factors (CF) may be used to convert selected oral opioids to the extended-release oxymorphone tablet: Oxymorphone, CF=1; Hydrocodone, CF=0.5; Oxycodone, CF=0.5; Methadone, CF= 0.5, Morphine, CF=0.333
-As an example: Sum the total daily dose of prior oral opioid; multiply that sum by the CF to obtain 24-hour oral oxymorphone requirement; divide by 2 to calculate approximate starting dose to be given every 12 hours, round down, if necessary.
-These CFs cannot be used to convert from oxymorphone extended-release tablets to the selected oral opioid as doing so will result in overestimation of the oral opioid dose and may result in fatal respiratory depression
Maintenance Dose: Individually titrate to a dose that provides adequate analgesia and minimizes adverse reactions; dose adjustments may be made in 5 to 10 mg increments every 12 hours, every 3 to 7 days.
Breakthrough Pain: If the level of pain increases after dose stabilization, attempt to identify the source before increasing dose; rescue medication with appropriate immediate-release analgesia may be helpful
-An opioid tolerant patient is one who has been receiving for 1-week or longer at least: oral morphine 60 mg/day, fentanyl transdermal patch 25 mcg per hour, oral oxycodone 30 mg/day, oral hydromorphone 8 mg/day, oral oxymorphone 25 mg/day, or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid
-When converting from methadone, close monitoring is of particular importance due to methadone's long half-life.
-Dose conversion should be done carefully and with close monitoring due to large patient variability in regards to opioid analgesic response.
-Upon cessation of therapy, taper gradually in physically dependent patient.
Use: For the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate.
What other drugs will affect oxymorphone?
Narcotic (opioid) medication can interact with many other drugs and cause dangerous side effects or death. Be sure your doctor knows if you also use:
other narcotic medications--opioid pain medicine or prescription cough medicine;
drugs that make you sleepy or slow your breathing--a sleeping pill, muscle relaxer, sedative, tranquilizer, or antipsychotic medicine; or
drugs that affect serotonin levels in your body--medicine for depression, Parkinson's disease, migraine headaches, serious infections, or prevention of nausea and vomiting.
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with oxymorphone, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.

WASHINGTON -- Better nutrition has helped Americans grow a little taller. But it's been too much of a good thing: The nation is also a whole lot fatter.
Adults are roughly an inch taller than they were in the early 1960s, on average, and nearly 25 pounds heavier, the government reported Wednesday.
The nation's expanding waistline has been well documented, though Wednesday's report is the first to quantify it based on how many pounds the average person is carrying.
The reasons are no surprise: more fast food, more television and less walking around the neighborhood, to name a few. Earlier this year, researchers reported that obesity fueled by poor diet and lack of activity threatens to overtake tobacco use as the leading preventable cause of death.
In 1960-62, the average man weighed 166.3 pounds. By 1999-2002, the average had reached 191 pounds, according to the National Center for Health Statistics -- part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- which issued the report. Similarly, the report said, the average woman's weight rose from 140.2 pounds to 164.3 pounds.
The trends are the same for children, the report said: Average 10-year-olds weighed about 11 pounds more in 1999-2002 than they did 40 years ago. So expect the next generation of adults to be even heavier than they are today, said Dr. Samuel Klein, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
"All the kids who are obese now will become obese adults," Klein said. "What will happen with the next generation of adults is really scary."
Obesity can increase the likelihood of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other health problems.
The report also documented an increase in weight when measured by body mass index, a scale that takes into account both height and weight. Average BMI for adults, ages 20 to 74, has increased from about 25 to 28 over the 40-year span.
Anyone with a BMI of 25 and up is considered overweight, and those with BMIs of 30 or more are considered obese.
At the same time, though less dramatically, Americans are getting a little bit taller.
Men's average height increased from 5 feet 8 inches in the early 1960s to 5 feet 91/2 inches in 1999-2002.
The average height of a woman, meanwhile, went from just over 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches.
The increases in height and weight are both fueled by the availability of more food, researchers say. To reach genetic potential for height, the human body needs a certain level of nourishment, and Wednesday's report shows that Americans have achieved it, said David Katz, director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center.
"You have put every last calorie into the system that you need to reach your genetic potential," Katz said. After that, he said, "there's only one place for the rest of those calories to go" -- into fat.
The weight gain trend is typically reported as what portion of all children or all adults are overweight. Those numbers are also alarming. In 1999-2002, 31 percent of adults had a BMI of 30 or over, considered obese. That's more than double the rate in the early '60s.
About two in three adults in 1999-2002 were considered overweight.
The explanations all involve too much food or not enough exercise.
Americans now have 300 channels instead of three to keep them in front of the tube -- and a remote control to surf them. Computers and video games keep adults and kids alike staring at screens. E-mail lets people deliver messages without ever standing up. And technological advances often mean less movement.
"Everyone has a leaf blower. Ten years ago, people had rakes," David Katz, director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center.
There are also changes in neighborhoods. Some are not safe, so kids and adults stay inside. Others lack sidewalks or require someone to dodge six lanes of traffic if they want to walk to a store.
Food is also to blame. Portions have gotten bigger, and people go out to eat more. Junk food that stays fresh for a long time is more readily available. It's much easier to find a bag of cookies or potato chips in the cupboard than an orange, which may go bad in a few days.
Wednesday's report also found:
--Among men, the increase in weight was most dramatic among older men: Those 60 to 74 were nearly 33 pounds heavier in 1999-2002 than men that age in the early 1960s.
--Among women, the difference was starkest among the young. Women ages 20 to 29 were nearly 29 pounds heavier.
--For children, the average weight for a 10-year-old boy went from 74.2 pounds in 1963 to nearly 85 pounds by 2002. The average girl's weight went from 77.4 pounds to nearly 88 pounds.
--It was the same for teens. An average 15-year-old boy weighed 135.5 pounds in 1966, which rose to 150.3 pounds by 2002. The average teen girl's weight went from 124.2 pounds to 134.4 pounds.
The report, "Mean Body Weight, Height and Body Mass Index, United States, 1960-2002," was based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which uses actual body measurements.

Jim Thorpe Borough Council sets new committees for 2010
The new president of the Jim Thorpe Borough Council presented the committee assignments to the 2010 council membership during a workshop last Tuesday at the borough's new municipal building. President Justin Yaich said that he was willing to shift members from one committee to another if someone felt they could better serve in another position, but no arguments with the assignments nor requests for reassignment were made.
Yaich said he expects much of the work the council will do in the coming year will be handled by these committees with their recommendations carrying significant weight with the council as a whole during its normal monthly meetings. He requested that each committee meet at least once each month and that a short written report of the committee's actions be submitted to the borough secretary for dissemination to the rest of the council.
The following committees were approved during the workshop for 2010:
Administration: Justin Yaich, chair; John McGuire; Joe Marzen.
Water: Greg Strubinger, chair; Joanne Klitsch, Kyle Sheckler.
Sewer and Sanitation: Joanne Klitsch, chair; Greg Strubinger; Justin Yaich.
Buildings and Parks: Todd Mason, chair; John McGuire; Kyle Sheckler.
Public Service: Kyle Sheckler, chair; Todd Mason, Greg Strubinger.
Police: John McGuire, chair; Joe Marzen; Justin Yaich.
Emergency Services: Joe Marzen, chair; Joanne Klitsch; Todd Mason.

Influence of family, pals creates lifelong fans
Influence of family, pals creates lifelong fansPublished November 10, 2008
In his opinion published in the Sept. 22 issue of SBJ, Lee Igel reasoned the high price of tickets to sporting events stunts the creation of lifelong fans, specifically in children. Igel further contended the messages put forth by sports business professionals justifying high ticket prices create an atmosphere of distrust between sports organizations and their public resulting in an exchange of long-term value for short-term economic gain.
Igel is off point on two issues. First, the messages and practices of sports business professionals vis-à-vis the justification and setting of ticket prices demonstrate a clear focus towards long-term sustainable growth and not a "worship" of short-term financial gain. Second, Igel has overstated the relationship between ticket price and the creation of lifelong fans among children. He wrote that sports are no longer a refuge for fans because the stadium building boom and steep rise in player salaries have resulted in a "new order" in which teams must now provide attendees with an experience at the game to justify higher profit margins. It is unlikely the provision of "game experiences" is simply an exercise of "double-talk" to charge "premium pricing." Rather, the provision of game experiences not directly related to the core product (i.e., the game) is a recognition by teams that many people who attend games care little about the actual game on the field.
For many, attending games may have more to do with other aspects of the consumption experience such as the derived social benefits, the excitement of being in a crowd, or the opportunity to drink or party. Thus, providing additional experiential opportunities at sporting events demonstrates an organizational focus on long-term growth and not short-term financial gain. It is simply good marketing as opposed to "double-talk."
Next, Igel's assertion that high-ticket prices stunt the development of long-term fandom in children is flawed. His argument surmises a relationship between seat location and sports fan socialization. It does not consider research that has examined the primary factors leading to the socialization of children into the role of fans of sports teams. Studies by Kenyon and McPherson in the early 1970s and by Kolbe and James more recently suggest that children become lifelong fans of sports teams by the interactions and experiences they have with their fathers, family members, and teammates on sports teams.
It is up to sports business professionals to present opportunities for fathers and children to bond around their team, and to create messages which communicate and reinforce father-child relationships in the context of the team.
Offering children "a few seats close to the action" may play well from a public relations perspective, but this strategy will have very little impact on creating the number of additional lifelong fans necessary for having a positive impact on the long-term sustainable growth proposed by Igel.

'The Birth of a Nation' is considered one of the greatest silent films ever made in American cinematography, both for its technical as well as its narrative and artistic achievements. The entire film can be viewed online here. One of the first ever film blockbusters, a huge financial and critical success, it is also considered one of the most controversial films in American cinematography, for its glorification of white supremacy, and the Ku Klux Klan. The film, made in 1915, helped in the founding of the second Ku Klux Klan, and the inflaming of anti-black sentiments.
The film is centered on two families, one from the North, and the other from the South, and their relations before, during, and after the Civil War. Southern society is seen as under threat from the black militias during the war, and afterwards, by Northern politicians portrayed as empowering black people through election fraud at the expense of the communities of the South. One black man, shown as typically violent and immoral leads to one white girl committing suicide, to escape his unethical advances. In the end, the new Ku Klux Klan, working for the protection of Southern Society, hunts down the man, and disperses the rioting 'crazed Negroes' from the streets. In the next elections, the Klan manages to disenfranchise and disarm the blacks, and thus defend the character of the South.
The film quotes from Woodrow Wilson's history of the American people: 'The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self preservation… until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern country'. The messages it wants to give are clear – that African Americans were incapable of integrating into American society and were violent and dangerous, that the KKK was an instrument of 'defense', defending the more moral and ethical society of the South, and that this society was based, as the film itself shows it, on Christian teachings, and the 'Aryan birthright' of Southern Whites, and their right to protect it in their states.
What is the significance of the film to us today? It is not merely a historical film to study the era of racism and segregation in the US. Though the parallels with the Palestinian conflict should be obvious, those are also not the only points to be made. What is perhaps more significant, is the nature of the rationalization of racism itself, its non-controversial nature, and the type of ideas used to do so.
What is significant is that the Southern Whites who supported racism, segregation, and the Klan, truly believed in the logic depicted in the film. It was not merely a propaganda tool for external audiences to justify racism as 'moral', with the Klan and the South itself self-aware of themselves doing something 'wrong'. The Whites of the South truly saw their actions as righteous, as protecting their society and families, and as moral and proper. And understanding this, is to understand much of the nature of ideologies which we recognize today as unethical. There are no groups of people which are born biologically more 'evil' than others. The southern whites did not have any 'gene' for immorality. Nor do people wakeup with a self-aware intent to 'do evil'. Evil may be what they do, but it is almost always rationalized to themselves by an internal discourse that explains their actions as rational and moral. And such people are otherwise humans like the rest of us – were you to meet a member of the Klan, and avoided topics on politics or race or religion, you might feel as if that person is somebody 'normal' enough to socialise with, never knowing their personal politics.
This is not meant to excuse away racism, or any other immoral ideology – both the behavior and the social worldview that produces it is condemnable and to be fought against. To the contrary it is merely an insight to understand racism to better be able to fight it. It is a reality that one must understand, to be able to judge one's self and actions. Since most people rationalize their actions in such ways as described above, they cannot accept them or see them as evil or immoral; perhaps because they think that all those other people whom we condemn as unethical, the Nazis, and Fascists, and Klan members, were self-aware of doing 'evil' and since they themselves are not self-aware of doing so, they cannot be similar to those groups. Yet all such groups consist of self-rationalizing members, and our ability to justify our 'own' actions as part of a discourse which paints them as moral, does not mean they truly are so.
Which brings us to the conflict in Palestine. Most Israelis seem shocked, angered and indignant, when someone from outside their society, who has not been conditioned with the same rationalizations, calls them racist, or Nazis, or Fascists. To them, this cannot be so, because 'their' actions are 'obviously justified' to themselves, dressed in the language of defense, 'protection' of a 'democratic' and 'just' society and of 'moral' values. They are not themselves conscious of, and actively seeking to, be 'evil'. Knowing each other personally, they see people who, whatever their politics, seem normal human beings. So, how, to them, can they be compared to such condemnable views? Obviously it must be that the ones giving the criticism do so because they are not really familiar with Israeli society, and simply fail to see their point of view, and how their actions are rationalized.
What they fail to see is how all societies and all groups rationalize their actions in the same way as to seem natural to them. Humans are psychologically similar everywhere in the world. Israelis like to point out that there is internal 'debate' in their society, and different view points, as if that makes the fundamental nature of their society any less unethical – as if the debate, and difference in viewpoints in the old US, made segregation and widespread racism any less wrong. It is the very fact that the actions of the state of Israel and its fundamental Zionist nature are even topics for debate, and not immediately condemnable by all members of society other than the most extreme fringes, that indicates that there is something 'wrong' with Israeli society.
Looking at the language of rationalization shows the same patterns in most cases of oppression. What is done, is done for the sake of defense, protecting society, or the state, or its 'Aryan' or 'Jewish' character, maintaining its ethical nature etc. Often this is done against an enemy who is somehow more inherently evil, or violent, who cannot come to accept the moral doctrines which must be protected. It is commonly said among Israelis that the only language Arabs understand is force. Ben Gurion described the Arabs as living in the 15th century. To many Zionists this line of thinking goes even further, seeing the Arabs not only as an immoral, violent group of people, but also as one that is, or was, actively occupying something they had no right to – so it was that the Irgun and Lehi, and the early Haganah commanders were rationalizing their actions as 'liberating' the land of Israel from the occupying Arabs, even as they were carrying out atrocity after atrocity in '47-48 and forcing the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. This has been rationalized, as have all the range of policies of Israel throughout the decades, through the language of 'defense' and 'protection', of the myth of the irrational Arab who wants to kill Jews, and the myth of a moral Israel whose actions cannot be the main reason for the conflict and violence of the region.
Again, this sort of thinking is not new or original in any way. I've mentioned the similar rhetoric in 'Birth of a Nation'. The same undercurrents can be seen in 'Triumph of the Will'. In the start of the film, in the only commentary given, we are told 'On 5 September 1934, …20 years after the outbreak of the World War… 16 years after the beginning of our suffering… 19 months after the beginning of the German renaissance… Adolf Hitler flew again to Nuremberg to review the columns of his faithful followers…'. Again, the Germans attracted to Nazi ideology did not do so because they were genetically more 'evil' than other men. They did so because the message it gave them was rationalized, in the language of protecting and creating a German renaissance, something that was 'good' and to be protected; It was rationalized in the language of a German society under attack and suffering, from its enemies outside and inside, from the powers that crippled it after WWI, and the 'Jewish and Communist conspiracy' devoted to humiliating it.
What is actually defended is an idea and a message. A message of a 'White', 'Christian' South, or an 'Aryan' Nazi nation-state that will bring forth the glory of the German people, or of a Jewish-state in Palestine that would be a 'beacon onto the nations', explained through anachronistic rhetoric of the 'land of the ancestors' and millennia old histories. All these messages were given more weight by a sense of the group in question being under attack or oppressed – whether such oppression was real or perceived – and none are any more moral than the other.
For the early Zionists, and Israelis today, it could not be conceivable that their state, or the state they were trying to create, was based on a set of ideas, that fundamentally, was not moral, and could not be acceptable to any other group of people it would affect. From its own perspective, Israel never did anything 'wrong' before or during 1948. Thus with this denial of its own character, it refused to acknowledge the grievances of the displaced Palestinians and surrounding Arabs, self-created the myth of the violent, immoral, uncooperative Arab, and reinforced the concept of its 'security' being guaranteed through a massive differential in force between it and the Arabs, which would involve a disproportionate use of force against them, and active work to keep the surrounding states weaker than itself. Israeli actions in effect created an internal racism against the remaining Arabs both inside it and in the neighboring states, policies of discrimination and displacement, active attempts for the de-development of the Arab states and the non-fulfillment of the aspirations of their citizens, and a huge number of military actions that led to the deaths of countless people. In being such an unstable influence in the region, Israel also helped in the radicalization of Arab politics, and the empowerment of extremist groups in the surrounding area.
That Israelis rationalize all of the above, and see all their actions as legitimate and moral defense is immaterial – everybody as we have seen does the same. The difference between Zionism, for that is really the message that is rationalized, and all the other movements examined, is that those are no longer supported, because the outside world has flooded the societies that followed them with messages of de-rationalization, and narratives that present the unethical nature of their character. This was not done in the case of Israel, initially due to Holocaust guilt, and today because of the earlier success of Israel in redefining and retelling history to the outside world.
I do not expect an Israeli or a supporter of Israel to be convinced of the immorality of Zionism by this argument, because to them, the narrative of the legitimacy of early Zionism leading to the creation of a largely blameless and moral Israel, that has to defend itself through legitimate actions and policies, is what they perceive as reality – and my aim here is not to proceed with historical analysis of events, trends, and statements, to disprove this view. That would be a much larger exercise. The point here is, that the fact that a narrative can be produced by the Israeli side to rationalize itself and its actions, does not mean that narrative is correct. Such narratives have existed for all movements, and for all cases of injustice – and the fact that Israelis do not see themselves as consciously unjust does not make them any less so that the Klan members of 'Birth of a Nation'

Rob Mackowiak continued to swing a torrid bat, hitting a go-ahead, three-run homer and a two-run double for a career-high five RBIs, and the host Pittsburgh Pirates won their third straight game over the struggling Chicago Cubs, 10-7, last night. Friday, Mackowiak became a father for the first time, hit a grand slam to win the first game of a doubleheader, and hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning of the second game to send it to extras.
Pittsburgh had 16 hits and improved to 23-22, moving above .500 this late in a season for the first time since Aug. 15, 1999 (59-58).
Mackowiak's fourth-inning homer helped the Pirates overcome a 5-1 deficit. He has three homers in two days and eight in May, including seven in his last 13 games.
Cardinals 10, Astros 3 -- Albert Pujols homered twice, going 4 for 5 with three RBIs, to lead visiting St. Louis to its fifth straight win over Houston. Pujols homered in the first and fifth innings off Wade Miller (5-5), his second multihomer game this season and the eighth of his career.
Braves 9, Phillies 3 -- John Thomson pitched seven strong innings and J.D. Drew homered and drove in three runs, leading visiting Atlanta over Philadelphia. Rafael Furcal had a two-run triple, and Dewayne Wise had three hits and two RBIs for Atlanta, which has won seven of 10.
Marlins 3, Mets 2 -- Mike Lowell homered off former Florida closer Braden Looper in the 10th inning, lifting the Marlins over visiting New York. Lowell's 14th homer of the season, which tied him for the major league lead, easily cleared the left-field wall and helped Florida move a season-best nine games over .500.
Reds 4, Expos 1 -- Adam Dunn homered for his first hit in a week and Jose Acevedo got his first win in more than a month, leading Cincinnati over host Montreal. Dunn, hitless in his first two at-bats to extend his slump to 0 for 23, led off the seventh with his 12th homer of the season, a drive into the right-field stands off Zach Day (3-6).
Brewers 4, Padres 3 -- Wes Obermueller, pitching for the first time since May 12, allowed one run in six innings and hit a three-run double to lead Milwaukee over visiting San Diego. Obermueller was just 3 for 12 at the plate this season when he doubled off Dennis Tankersley (0-1) with two outs in the second. It was his first extra-base hit in 35 career at-bats.
Giants 5, Rockies 3 -- Barry Bonds hit a tying RBI double in the sixth, then scored on Yorvit Torrealba's two-run double, as host San Francisco won its season-high eighth straight game. Jerome Williams (4-3) pitched 7 1/3 strong innings for his first win since beating the Dodgers in Los Angeles April 24, a span of six starts.
Dodgers 10, Diamondbacks 0 -- Spot starter Jose Lima allowed two hits in eight scoreless innings, and Adrian Beltre and Juan Encarnacion hit three-run homers in Los Angeles's rout of visiting Arizona. Paul Lo Duca was 4 for 4 with a pair of RBIs, and Shawn Green drove in two runs to help the Dodgers end a four-game losing streak.

This is the same guy who spent months telling the same lie about Romney paying no taxes for 10 years.
Via TPM:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's office issued a statement on Tuesday night defending U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice from GOP criticism for the explanations she gave on behalf of the Obama administration in the immediate aftermath of the attacks upon a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya earlier this year.
"The personal attacks against Ambassador Rice by certain Republican senators have been outrageous and utterly unmoored from facts and reality," Reid said. "I am shocked that senators would continue these attacks even when the evidence – including disclosures from the intelligence community about the information she presented – have made it clear that the allegations against Ambassador Rice are baseless, and that she has done absolutely nothing wrong."
Rice sat down with Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) earlier on Tuesday in an effort to assuage their concerns. Emerging after the meeting, the senators proclaimed that their reservations had become even "more troubling" after listening to Rice. McCain later took to Fox News to say that he would be "very hard-pressed" to support Rice as a potential replacement for Hillary Clinton at the State Department.

Newcastle United have pitched a black and white curveball with the imminent capture of Facundo Ferrerya.
The 23-year-old Argentine tyro touched down in Tyneside via Ukraine but in reality, he has arrived completely off-the-radar. This is a left-field capture that is an opportunistic move – and one viewed in the corridors of power at St James' Park as a calculated gamble with a very limited risk factor.
Ferrerya was a big noise when he broke through for unfancied Buenos Aries club Banfield, helping a rag-tag team of loanees, veterans and young turks lift the league title in remarkable circumstances. A strong presence in the air with quick feet, he scored freely and made a sizzling impact in those early days.
Offered the chance to sign for Boca Juniors or River Plate, he opted – instead – for the third way of signing for Velez Sarsfield. "It was an early sign of his maturity," says journalist Rupert Fryer, a South American football expert.
Velez, you see, are a financially stable part of the Argentinian football elite. They might not be the biggest name but they are one of the most consistent and offered him a chance to develop his talent, which was something he managed to do before making another interesting move to Ukraine.
Fryer continues: "He's very good in the air and he's an opportunistic finisher but I have never really seen him as a technical player. Obviously at Shakhtar Donestk he was playing alongside a team of Brazilian players so you do need quick feet and he has developed.
"It's a good move for him and it will be interesting to see how it works out. I don't necessarily think he'll be a world beater straight away."
Quite where he fits into the black and white picture is unclear: Newcastle still want a front-line striker to beef up their striking options but priority targets have slipped away.
Pierre Michel-Lassoga disappeared over the horizon a while ago despite some positive talks with him in Hamburg – Loic Remy has travelled to Ireland to join up with QPR. Interest in Alexandre Lacazette ebbs and flows but Newcastle appear no closer to landing the Lyon forward. United would desperately love to bring in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but he has ruled out leaving the club.
To spend big on a striker, Newcastle's officials will have to assemble a cast-iron case and the Plan B on a front-line target is to bank the money and wait until January. The prospect of that happening remains unlikely but probably increased with the signing of Ferrerya.
Mike Ashley, after all, is a man for whom everything has to have value. He understands the need for another striker but if Alan Pardew has Ayoze Perez, Emmanuel Riviere, Ferrerya, Papiss Cisse, a number ten in Siem De Jong and Adam Armstrong he will need a compelling reason to fork out big money without one of them leaving.
Newcastle have done sterling work in the transfer market but this final piece in the recruitment jigsaw is proving more puzzling than most. Romelu Lukaku's £28million move proves that money talks but the Magpies remain careful investors. They are more at home doing 'Moneyball' deals for players like Ferrerya than taking really high-stakes gambles.
So what of Ferrerya? He is an exciting player and once again, lifts the level of Newcastle's squad. Their options are increased, Pardew's excuses contract and United have more reasons to be optimistic.
Fryer certainly sees Ferrerya's arrival as an interesting capture. "He's certainly a prospect. I think it's pretty clear that this signing has come about because of the unrest in the Ukraine.
"I don't think he'll be a world beater straight away but he's a good player and I think that Newcastle have signed someone with plenty of potential. They should be pleased."

2012 Season - Vikings drop two tight ones at Carthage
|Freshman outfielder Laura Behnke had five hits on the day, including three doubles, but it wasn't enough to prevent the Vikings from being swept 2-1 and 6-5 at Carthage.
KENOSHA, Wis.-Despite a 5-for-6 afternoon by freshman outfielder Laura Behnke (Wheaton St. Francis HS, Roselle, Ill.)--which included three doubles--Augustana dropped a pair of one-run decisions to Carthage Sunday. The Vikings fall to 22-10 on the season and 5-5 in the CCIW. The Lady Reds improve to 30-4 overall and 10-2 in the conference.
With Sarah Hintz (LeRoy HS, LeRoy, Ill.) in the circle for Augustana and Krystina Leazer for Carthage, game one was scoreless for three and a half innings.
Hintz stranded a pair of Lady Reds in the first and the Vikings had runners in scoring position in the second and third innings, but neither team could get on the board until Carthage put up two runs in the bottom of the fourth. After fanning the first hitter, Hintz gave up an infield hit and a walk. Olivia Scott delivered a two-run double to right to give the Lady Reds the lead.
In the top of the fifth, Behnke led off with a double to left and moved all the way to third on Randi Applehans' (Mountain Vista HS, Highlands Ranch, Colo.) sacrifice bunt. However, Leazer induced a shallow fly to center and a groundout to short to end the threat. Augustana also failed to take advantage of a Jillian Gibbs (Rock Island HS, Rocks Island, Ill.) leadoff single in the sixth.
Chaney Tambling (Dwight HS, Dwight, Ill.) drew a walk to start the seventh. Behnke followed with a double to center with pinch-runner Kelsey Winter (United Township HS, East Moline, Ill.) moving to third. Applehans scored Winter and moved Behnke to third with a groundout to second, but Leazer got pinch-hitter Amanda Johnson (York HS, Elmhurst, Ill.) to line to short and Gibbs to line to center to end the game.
Hintz allowed seven hits and two runs in six innings, walking two and fanning five. She suffered just her third loss of the season in 16 decisions. Behnke and Jenna Teson (Jacobs HS, Algonquin, Ill.) each had two hits for Augustana. Leazer scattered seven Viking hits to get her 20th win against just two losses.
The Vikings jumped out in front 3-0 in game two, but couldn't hang on as Carthage broke a 5-5 tie with a run in the top of the seventh to get the sweep.
Augustana, the home team in the nightcap, struck for three runs in the bottom of the first. Teson and Gibbs started the frame with back-to-back singles. One out later, Viking pitcher Courtney Ledezma (United Township HS, East Moline, Ill.) helped herself with a two-run double to left. Carthage starter Alyssa Schrader retired the next batter, but Tambling singled to left and Applehans reached on an error, allowing Ledezma to score the third run.
The Lady Reds started the third with three straight singles. It looked like Ledezma would escape the jam when she retired the next two batters, but Abby Hanson tied the game with a bases-clearing double to center.
Hanson would be the last batter on either team to reach base until the Carthage fifth, when Katie Morman led off with a home run to left field. Ledezma got the next two Lady Reds, but Schrader made it 5-3 with another solo shot to left that brought Jamie Rehmert (Sterling HS, Sterling, Ill.) in to pitch.
Augustana bounced right back to tie it in the bottom of the inning. Behnke led off with her third double of the day, prompting a return to the circle for game one winner Leazer. Teson drew a walk and Gibbs singled to left to load the bases. Krista Watson (Coal City HS, Coal City, Ill.) drove in a run with an infield hit and the Vikings got the tying run one out later when Teson scampered home on a Jaclyn Wrona (Glenbard South HS, Wheaton, Ill.) foul out to first.
The teams went to the seventh tied. Morman drew a one-out walk. With two out, Vicki Pyan singled to right and moved to second on the throw to third which failed to cut down pinch-runner Becky Cronk. The Vikings walked Schrader to load the bases and Cronk scored the go-ahead run on an infield hit by Hanson. Ledezma got a one-out single to center in the bottom of the frame, but Leazer retired the final two batters to get her second win of the day.
Behnke went 3-for-3 in game two, while Ledezma was 2-for-4 with two RBI. Gibbs went 2-for-4 as well. Rehmert took the loss in her first decision this season.
Next up for the Vikings is a non-conference doubleheader against Monmouth on Wednesday, April 25. First pitch is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.

Florida Wildlife Crowded by Swelling Human Population
TALLAHASSEE, Florida, August 18, 2008 (ENS) – Florida's wildlife, already displaced from much of its habitat by human activities, will face even greater pressure over the next 50 years as the human population doubles its current size of 18 million people, finds a new report by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, FWC.
Issued Thursday, the report, "Wildlife 2060," shows how continuing the past patterns of urban sprawl could result in fragmented natural places that will squeeze Florida's wild species such as bears, panthers, bobcats, alligators, eagles and wild turkeys, manatees, gopher tortoises and Florida scrub-jays.
"Natural habitats could become islands in a sea of development," said Dr. Thomas Eason, conservation initiatives coordinator for the FWC. "Corridors for some animals to move about the state will be cut off by roads, subdivisions and shopping malls."

the current extent of development.

projected development in 2060.

As development encroaches on what was habitat for wild animals, people and wildlife will come face-to-face more often, the report predicts. Large predators such as panthers, bears and alligators will pose great challenges for people living with them.
The commission's report is based on the data gathered in "Florida 2060: A Population Distribution Scenario for the State of Florida," a study of human growth and development issued in 2006 by the 1000 Friends of Florida, a not-for-profit organization that monitors growth in the state. The data on which Florida 2060 is based was prepared by the University of Florida's GeoPlan Center.
If Florida's population doubles during the next five decades, as Florida 2060 predicts, about seven million additional acres of land could be converted from rural and natural to urban uses.
Nearly three million acres of existing agricultural lands and 2.7 million acres of native habitat will be claimed by roads, shopping malls and subdivisions – in total an area about the size of Vermont.
"As the state agency whose mission is to manage fish and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and the benefit of people, it is our responsibility to predict what could happen to the resources we have been charged to conserve. It is what people expect of us," said Ken Haddad, executive director of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Most at risk will be the hundreds of animals limited to small geographical areas, according to the FWC report. "Known as endemic species, some examples are the Florida scrub-jay, the Florida burrowing owl and a roster of lovely plants restricted to tiny habitats in Central Florida – scrub blazing star and pygmy fringe tree, among them," the FWC reports.
Under the 2060 scenario, Florida scrub-jays will shrink in number as their habitat dwindles by 64 square miles – a landmass more than three times the size of the island of Manhattan. Florida burrowing owls, already a species of special concern, will lose an additional 25 percent of their current habitat.
When the 25,000 acres of habitat required to support one Florida black bear is lost to development, not only is that black bear displaced but so are 60 bobcats, 165 foxes, 580 deer, 1,250 northern bobwhites, 2,000 cardinals, and 2.5 million trees, according to the FWC report.

"Continuing the current trend clearly would be detrimental to wildlife, but it also would be detrimental to people," Dr. Eason said. "Fishing, hunting, bird-watching, all kinds of outdoor activities, which brought many of us to Florida in the first place, would be greatly diminished. This affects our quality of life and our economy."
The revenue from hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing and boating brings billions of dollars to the state annually, the FWC report points out.
Though the state faces what he calls a daunting situation, the executive director does not believe the battle is lost.
"On the contrary, I have confidence that Floridians will band together to ensure that we do the right thing for our fish and wildlife while boosting our economic growth and quality of life," Haddad said. "But, we must bring the best out in people to reach solutions, and we must bring virtually all interests to the table to make that happen."
Some of the best strategies to give large animals and sensitive species a chance to exist include acquistion and protection of large parcels of conservation lands as well as alternative protection techniques, such as conservation easements and tax incentives, the FWC report suggests.
The FWC recommends "thoughtful, large-scale land-use planning, development design" and promotion of "compatible agricultural activity such as cattle ranches and timber operations."
"In the years to come, we simply aren't going to be able to afford to buy all of the land that needs protecting," said FWC biologist Scott Sanders. "We'll be more effective if we assist folks who own key wildlife habitats to manage and protect their own land."
The agency's Landowner Assistance Program performs that function by partnering with private owners to achieve conservation benefits on private lands.
Rodney Barreto, chairman of the FWC, encourages everyone to do all they can to change what is happening. "Get involved in land-use planning and decision-making, and become good stewards of the land," he says.
"Become educated about what to vote for and encourage your policymakers to support initiatives that help wildlife, provide incentives for private land conservation and encourage smart growth," Barreto said. "I am confident the future for our wildlife is bright."
