Up to this point in his recruitment, athlete Doug Dutch hasn't narrowed his list down too much. But now he can point out four schools that are above the rest. Who's at the top of his list?
"Florida, Miami, Michigan and Virginia are my top four right now, but I'm also considering Pitt, Maryland and Notre Dame. All those schools have offered me and I would say Michigan is probably recruiting me the hardest."
While he visited several camps this summer, one stood out above the rest.

"The Florida camp was the best," said Dutch. "I also went to camps at Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland, but the Florida camp just had so many great players. There was so much talent there."
What will be the biggest factors in the Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga stars decision?
"The relationship between the coaches and players will be very important, and how competitive the team is on the field. In the end it might just end up being a gut decision though. I really don't know when I'll make my decision but it will probably be sometime after the season."
Dutch has already set official visits with Virginia (Nov. 28) and Michigan (Dec. 12). He also plans on visiting Florida and Miami in late November or early December.
As a junior, Dutch caught 16 passes for 337 yards and three scores. He recorded 151 tackles and an interception on defense. He also returned five kickoffs for an average of 53.1 yards and a touchdown, and he scored a touchdown on a punt return. Dutch carries a 3.7 GPA and has scored a 1,060 on the SAT.

In spite of their importance to global climate and sea level, the mass balance of the antarctic ice sheet and the dynamics of the coast of Antarctica are largely unknown. In 1990, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI), began a long-term coastal-mapping project in Antarctica that is based on analysis of Landsat images and ancillary sources (Williams et al. 1995). The project has five objectives:
MethodologyThe primary steps in the compilation of the coastal-change and glaciological maps of Antarctica are as follows:
Glaciological featuresThe Bakutis Coast (Swithinbank et al. in preparation) shows two dominant glaciological features: relatively narrow fringing ice shelves (Getz, Dotson, and Crosson Ice Shelves) and the Thwaites Glacier system (Thwaites Glacier, Thwaites Glacier Tongue, and Thwaites Iceberg Tongue). The Bakutis Coast map is divided into five ice-front segments by four islands (Dean, Siple, Carney, and Wright) located between DeVicq Glacier and Martin Peninsula. Siple Island, Carney Island, Martin Peninsula, and Bear Peninsula also contain small ice shelves separated by ice walls. Twenty-seven named and 14 unnamed outlet glaciers and ice streams flow into the ice shelves or directly into the Amundsen Sea; three other named glaciers are located in interior mountain ranges.
Coastal changeAs would be expected, the ice fronts, iceberg tongues, and glacier tongues are the most dynamic and changeable features in the coastal regions of Antarctica. Seaward of the grounding line of outlet glaciers, ice streams, and ice shelves, the floating ice margin is subject to frequent and large calving events or rapid flow. Both of these situations lead to annual and decadal changes in the position of ice fronts on the order of several kilometers, even tens of kilometers in extreme cases of major calving events. Although calving does occur along ice walls, the magnitude of change on an annual to decadal basis is generally not discernible on Landsat images; therefore, ice walls can be used as relatively stable reference features against which to measure other changes along the coast; only a single observation date is given for the position of ice walls.
An analysis of changes from Wrigley Gulf on the western part of the Bakutis Coast map to the western part of Pine Island Bay on the east (130-104°W) indicates the following. West and north of Dean Island, the Getz Ice Shelf advanced from 3 to 12 kilometers (km) between 11 January 1973 and 25 February 1988 across a 51-km-wide ice front. The eastern part of the tongue of DeVicq Glacier (mostly on the Saunders Coast map) receded 6 km. West and east of Carney Island small parts of the Getz Ice Shelf receded from 1 to 5 km between 22 December 1972 and 25 February 1988 and between 23 November 1973 and 25 December 1986, respectively. The 46-km-wide ice front of Dotson Ice Shelf also receded 1 to 5 km between 16 January 1973 and 23 January 1990. The largest changes, however, occurred in the Thwaites Glacier Tongue and in the adjacent Crosson Ice Shelf. From the southeastern end of the ice wall of Hamilton Ice Piedmont (about 110°W) to the ice wall west of Pine Island Glacier (about 104°W) is a distance of 186 km. Along a 62-km-wide front of Crosson Ice Shelf that includes the confluence of Smith, Pope, and Vane Glaciers, the ice front receded from 5 to 13 km between 27 December 1972 and 22 January 1988. The irregular 83-km-wide terminus of Thwaites Glacier Tongue advanced about 10 km between 27 December 1972 and 22 January 1988; between 22 January 1988 and 9 February 1989, it advanced another 2 km.
Outlet-glacier, ice-stream, and ice-shelf velocitiesVelocities of floating glaciers (e.g., glacier tongues, ice streams, and ice shelves) were determined by two methods: an interactive one in which crevassed patterns are traced visually on images (Lucchitta et al. 1993) and an auto-correlation program developed by Bindschadler and Scambos (1991) and Scambos et al. (1992). Under optimum conditions, errors can be as small as ±0.02 km per year, but for most Landsat image pairs, where registration of features is accurate to only two or three pixels, the accuracy of velocity vectors is ±0.1 km per year. The larger glacier tongues and ice shelves have well-developed rift patterns that can be used for velocity measurements. From 10 to 50 measurement points were made for each glacier tongue or ice shelf. Thwaites Glacier Tongue has an average velocity of 2.8 km per year, on the basis of Landsat images acquired on 2 December 1984 (50276-14524) and 9 January 1990 (42734-14552) (Ferrigno et al. 1993). On the basis of Landsat images acquired on 13 January 1973 (1174-14325) and 22 January 1988 (42016-14343), the floating tongue of Smith Glacier moved at an average rate of 0.6 km per year, although the velocity decreased to 0.5 km per year near the grounding line. The Smith Glacier tongue increased in velocity to an average of 0.7 km per year between 19 January 1988 and 23 January 1990. Dotson Ice Shelf, into which several named (Singer, McClinton, Dorchuk, Keys, Kohler, Boschert, True, Zuniga, Brush, and Sorenson Glaciers) and other unnamed glaciers flow, has an average velocity of 0.4 km per year (Lucchitta et al. 1993, 1994).
Glacier inventoryProducing a sophisticated glacier inventory of Antarctica according to the requirements of the World Glacier Monitoring Service, as part of their ongoing "World Glacier Inventory" program, is impossible with the present state of glaciological knowledge about Antarctica (Swithinbank 1980). It is, however, possible to use Landsat images, supplemented by other satellite images and photographs south of 81.5°S (e.g., recently declassified Corona photographs, Systeme Probatoire d'Observation de la Terre images, Soyuzkarta images and photographs, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration advance very-high-resolution radar images, and so forth), and available maps to produce a reasonably complete preliminary inventory of named and unnamed outlet glaciers and ice streams and also to define more accurately related glaciological features, such as ice domes, ice piedmonts, ice shelves, ice rises, ice rumples, glacier tongues, iceberg tongues, and so forth. Satellite images and photographs also permit a better distinction to be made of islands and peninsulas, physical features that were often incorrectly identified and defined on earlier maps because of the lack of appropriate data.

Over 30,000 students studying at around 150 night schools across the city are facing an uncertain future as their schools are on the verge of closure. The school managements complain that in the absence of funds and non-salary grants from the state government, they are unable to run the schools.
The schools are functioning on rented premises in BMC schools and in the absence of funds and non-salary grants by the government, they find it difficult to pay the rent. The managements and staff of these schools along with the education cell of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) have now sought help from Mayor Sunil Prabhu.
Dr Manisha Kayande, in-charge of BJP's education cell, said after she received complains from teachers of these night schools, she visited 90 schools out of the total 150 schools in the city and found that they were functioning in poor conditions.
"The managements and teachers of the schools complained that as the night schools were not considered as part of the mainstream schools they are neglected. They do not get enough funds and the salaries of teachers are very low," said Kayande.
She added that nearly 50 schools have failed to pay the rent for the past six years as a result of which they owe Rs 28 lakh to the BMC.
"We have requested the Mayor to get the amount waived as there was no guarantee of the government disbursing non-salary grant," said Kayande
"The day schools function for six hours, but we get only three hours and so we are unable to complete the same syllabus and hence require more time. We have requested the Mayor to look in the issue and help us provide better facilities to our students. We have also written to the Mayor requesting him to provide better facilities to the students and provide additional space to the students in the form of a study room for preparation for exams," said a principal of one school.
The Mayor assured the delegation that the issues faced by night schools would be looked into. "We will try to help these schools, however the outstanding amount cannot be waived off. We will try to work out some other way to resolve the matter," said a senior official from the BMC education department.

Clifton Drive South, Lytham St Annes. FY8 1DT (map)
After last week's Saturday netball it was back to hockey this week for AKS with an action packed week seeing teams play in the Lancashire U19 Tournament on Wednesday, the Yr 7 playing Lytham High on Friday and 5 teams making the long journey across the country to play Wakefield Girls on Saturday.
The U12A and B hockey teams played matches on Friday against Lytham St Annes High school. The A team played some very attacking hockey and as the more experienced team dictated play to win the game 6-0, despite Lytham players improving their skills as the game progressed. Player of the match was Gabriella F who adapted well to playing in a more defensive position.
The B team game was more even and AKS capitalised on their goalscoring opportunities to win the game 3-0. Annabella K was named as player of the match for her strong performance throughout the match.
On Saturday Wakefield was the venue for our hockey matches and the U12A team played in their most competitive game of the season. The team started superbly and within 7 minutes the AKS team were 2-0 up with goals coming from Ziv W after superb play from Prisha R on the right. Wakefield struggled to cope with the quick counter attacks made from defence which created overloads and free players in attack. However, Wakefield slowly gained their composure and started to take control of the game and scored a goal just before half time. AKS started the second half the brighter of the two teams and again Wakefield were forced to be on the back foot although AKS failed to improve on the 2-1 lead despite creating a number of chances. With 5 minutes to go, Wakefield attacked strongly and scored an equaliser. With a minute to go the match looked like it was going to be a fair 2-2 draw but Wakefield struck well at a short corner and scored the winner in what was a highly competitive match. Player of the match was Prisha R for her driving runs on the right that set up a number of goalscoring opportunities.
Te U12 B team enjoyed a great game which saw both teams attack and defend well. With little between the teams it was AKS who found the net to earn the slender victory 1 – 0 with Millie B and Abigail F both having great games and sharing the player of the match accolade.
The U13 A team had great preparation for the Lancashire Tournament with a great game against a strong Wakefield team. Good play from Hannah T saw her link well with Ruby Wildish up front but good defending by the strong Wakefield team thwarted our best efforts. Wakefield tested our defence with their fast direct play and eventually went ahead with a well taken goal. We continued to work hard and play some good hockey but despite the best efforts of player of the match Tara W in goal Wakefield scored again to make the final score 0 – 2.
From the start this U13B team game was always going to be tough for our girls as Wakefield were clearly a strong, skilful and experienced side. Undeterred by this the AKS team worked hard to thwart the constant attacks. Keira B, Amy S, Charlotte A and Jade B in particular worked hard to win possession back and never stopped chasing back to win the tackles made. Despite the score line of a 6-0 loss the team created a number of attacks but were unable to convert the shots into goals. Lily P in goal was made player of the match as she was kept busy and made some exceptional saves.
AKS combined U14/U15 team made an early start to play a very strong Wakefield U15 squad. From the whistle AKS were on the back foot and were put under waves of pressure defensively. Wakefield were able to convert this pressure to score their first goal. A high drag flick at a penalty corner took them into the lead 2-0. However, AKS battled hard to take back control of the game and had the majority of attacking play as half time approached. This continued into the second half, but a break away goal by Wakefield allowed them back into the game. Some excellent running by Georgia C meant that AKS were able to link well moving down the right hand side of the pitch. The final score did not truly reflect the score with a solid performance from AKS and Georgia C was awarded the player of the match award for her non stop running throughout the match.
Overall a very competitive and hard fought morning against a strong hockey school in Wakefield Girls Grammar.

North Fort Myers, FL: Dustin Phennicie Booked - Dustin D Phennicie of North Fort Myers
According to documents obtained on Sunday, June 9th, 2013, Florida officials have detained Dustin Daniel Phennicie of unknown age.
Public records analyzed by MobileMugs from the Lee County Sheriff's Office show that the suspect, Phennicie, was detained Thursday. He has allegedly been charged with one offense. Investigation conducted by MobileMugs show Dustin Phennicie may have been arrested at least 11 other times.
Phennicie, DOB 1980-03-05US, was described as a white man of unknown age. When booked, he weighed 180 lbs and stood 5' 0" tall.
Every effort has been made to ensure the integrity of these data, however, MobileMugs makes no claims of guarantee surrounding the accuracy of such alleged facts, as Dustin Phennicie is to be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Last updated on .

The wasps continue to test me and search out my weakness.
This time they sent a spy into the enemy camp: my sewing room. They deployed one of their ninjas to wait in the dormer window grilles. He was so stealthy that I didn't see him until I sat down and took a bite of my Frosted Mini Wheats.
There was a delay, during which I gulped down some of the chunks of chewed up mini wheats. It was a loud and slow "Glnnpp" sound. Then, I jumped up, shrieking and dropping little bits of wheaty goodness along the way. I figured I was leaving a tasty trail for the crafty bugger to chase me all the way down the stairs and into the kitchen.
As I was running away screaming he was probably thinking, our plan of intimidation is working. Though, the smidgen of rational thought left in me imagined that he probably just thought, was it something I buzzed? (Even my rational self has its issues.)
My husband heard me screech and eliminated it for me.
Once I stopped shaking and hyperventilating, I inched up the stairs walking like a ballerina in Pointe slippers.
I had plans to make little draft dodgers to keep the heat from coming under the gaps in the attic spaces upstairs. While I know that this is probably not the way that the enemy entered, this event prompted me to start making some of the "hot air hinderers" that I've been planning. I'll add a separate post about those immediately following this anecdote.
Once the adrenaline from the wasp encounter had dissipated, so did my desire to finish more of these draft dodgers. I finished one, cut out the material for several others, and put them aside.
My fervor was reawakened by the appearance of yet another wasp in my dormer window today. At first I thought it was a large flying ant, but upon closer inspection I could see that it was one of my adversaries. It had a smaller stature, but by no means did it have a smaller weapon. It had, at least, a ¼ inch stinger protruding from its rear. I know this because after I sprayed it, I had to look at it as I was attempting to pick it up with a paper towel. I couldn't get the wretched thing in the paper towel and I kept thinking it was still moving. After a short struggle and a lot of squealing I managed to get the blasted intruder in the trash.
In an effort to diminish my fear, I've been trying to learn as much as I can about wasps. Knowledge should lead to less fear, right? I believe it has helped a bit already.
I determined that the types that I've seen indoors so far have either been paper wasps or solitary wasps.
They have long thin bodies, small waists, and are dark brown and orange. The wasps that fit this description are supposedly the least aggressive and some of the more beneficial (when not around the house or in the house, obviously). The ones that I got stung by were yellow jacket wasps. Many people mistakenly refer to yellow jackets as bees, but they're actually wasps. They like to build nests under wood, dead plant matter and underground. We have a few yellow jacket nests around our backyard that we're working on getting rid of.
As my husband has tried to get me to acknowledge, this fear shouldn't be something that rules my life. After the encounter today, I think there may yet be hope for me. I'm determined to tackle this fear.
My husband watched Batman Begins the other day—one of his many viewings per year. It made me think that maybe I should take a cue from Batman and use my fear to my advantage, in order to overcome it. No, I don't mean that I'm going to call myself Wasp Woman and go around fighting baddies (Why didn't a super hero or villain like this ever make it into the Marvel comics collection? Is there one? Correct me if I'm wrong here, I'm not a comic nerd).
I am, however, going to use wasps as inspiration for a sewing project. Hmm…More on that later.

Starting on the International Day of Radiology on 8 November 2016, a number of national radiation protection authorities have been conducting a special series of inspections in radiology departments and practices. The aim of these inspections is to assess the application of the justification principle. By monitoring existing practices, the European authorities hope to identify routes for further improvement in patient radiation protection.
As part of an initiative launched by HERCA (Heads of Radiation Protection competent Authorities), a voluntary association that brings together 56 radiation protection authorities from 32 European countries, a number of radiology departments and practices across Europe is receiving a special round of inspections from their national radiation protection authorities during November 2016. The focus of these inspections is on compliance with the justification principle, which requires that each medical imaging procedure should contribute sufficiently to patient care to outweigh the possible detriment caused by radiation exposure.
The national radiation protection authorities conduct the inspections in accordance with their own rules and routines, while using the same HERCA inspection template. The template follows the logic of the normal justification process and verifies to what extent the referrers, the radiological practitioners and other staff adhere to the corresponding procedures.
The goal of this HERCA initiative is to monitor to what extent the justification principle is put into practice in diagnostic radiology across Europe and to identify potential routes for improvement. The findings will be presented in a report that will be published on the HERCA website.
Examples of national initiatives in justification field
Norway (NRPA): The Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority has together with Akershus University Hospital made an information film about justification within medical imaging. The aim of the film is to increase the awareness of justification and for use in education of health professionals.

Good and bad bacteria exist in a woman's vagina [1].
As long as there is balance between the two, there's usually no problem [1].
However, when the bad bacteria outnumber the good, this leads to an infection called bacterial vaginosis [2].
Caused by bacterial strains such as Gardnerella vaginalis, this condition is marked by excessive vaginal discharge and fishy odor [3].
It can be very embarrassing, and negatively affect one's sexual relationship.
Fortunately, you can resolve this problem immediately with the help of these home remedies for bacterial vaginosis.
These are not only simple and easy to put together, but also safe and effective.
1. Yogurt
Yogurt is more than just a healthy snack, it's also an efficient way to restore balance of bacteria in the vagina, thanks to its probiotics [4].
In 2010, 120 Chinese women with recurrent cases of bacterial vaginosis were given either a capsule containing 8 billion units of Lactobacillus acidophilus and other probiotics or a placebo for 14 days [5].
Those who received the probiotic treatment reported fewer episodes of vaginal infection [5].
The use of this treatment resulted in less bad odor and vaginal discharge [5].
These benefits were achieved without experiencing any side effects during the treatment period [5].
Researchers conclude that probiotics reduced the occurrence of bacterial vaginosis safely and effectively [5].
Many other studies confirm that yogurt is useful is combating this and other vaginal infections, even preventing complications such as pre-term birth [6, 7, 8, 9].
What You'll Need:
- 1 tablespoon of yogurt
- Cotton pad
- 1 cup of yogurt
Recommended Directions:
- Spread a tablespoon of yogurt on a cotton pad.
- Apply on the vagina.
- Let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing with water.
- Repeat three times a day until symptoms disappear.
- Eat one cup of yogurt a day to speed up treatment.
2. Tea Tree Oil
With its broad spectrum of antimicrobial properties, it's no wonder tea tree oil is incorporated in a vast array of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products [10].
There was case where a woman suffering from signs and symptoms of bacterial vaginosis used tea tree oil to treat herself [10].
The self-treatment proved successful, and the woman was free of symptoms after the treatment [10].
This has prompted researchers from Australia to make a scientific investigation of tea tree oil's effects on the microorganisms linked to vaginal infection [10].
They collected three isolates of the bacterium Gardnerella vaginalis and exposed these to minimum concentration of tea tree oil [10].
The tests were carried out using agar and broth dilution methods [10].
Findings reveal that this oil can successfully inhibit the activities of Gardnerella vaginalis without affecting the good bacteria [10].
What You'll Need:
- 5 drops of tea tree oil
- 1 bowl of warm water
Recommended Directions:
- Mix tea tree oil with warm water.
- Rinse vagina with solution.
- Repeat once a day for up to four weeks.
3. Garlic
Many people know about garlic's strength as an antibacterial agent.
Not surprisingly, it has been used for decades to combat various types of microbial infections.
Allicin, the main active compound in garlic, has been confirmed to be a strong antimicrobial agent that can kill a wide range of bacteria and fungi [11].
In fact, it works even for bacterial strains that have grown resistant to antibiotic medications [12].
The process by which it works is that it chemically reacts with the thiol groups of different enzymes that can affect the metabolism of the microbes [12].
For bacterial vaginosis, garlic has been listed a number of times as one of the effective alternative therapies [13, 14].
However, further studies are required to establish the safety of this herbal remedy for vaginal infections.
What You'll Need:
- 4 cloves of garlic, crushed
Recommended Directions:
- Rub garlic gently on the vagina.
- Wait for 20 minutes before washing off with warm water.
- Do this remedy once a day for up to one month.
4. Neem
A popular remedy in Ayurveda and Homeophatic medicine, neem has generated interest worldwide with its broad range of therapeutic benefits [15].
It has over 140 active compounds that fights many types of ailments including infections, malaria, skin disorders, inflammatory diseases, dental problems, fever, cancer, and many more [15].
Most of its parts—leaves, seeds, flowers, fruits, bark and root—demonstrate medicinal value [15].
It's no surprise that it can also be used as a remedy for vaginal infections such as those caused by bacteria.
Clinical trials show that it's highly effective in resolving abnormal vaginal discharge caused by bacterial infections [16].
It was one of the key ingredients in a polyherbal cream that was highly active against bacteria that are commonly known to infect the vagina [16].
What You'll Need:
- 5 drops of neem oil
- 1 tablespoon of almond oil
Recommended Directions:
- Combine the two oils.
- Wash vagina with oil mixture.
- Follow this remedy once a day for up to three weeks.
5. Japanese Mugwort
Japanese mugwort may not be as popular as garlic or tea tree oil in fighting infection but it also works effectively.
The antibacterial activities of Japanese mugwort against Gardnerella vaginalis was the subject of a 2011 Korean study [17].
Its active compounds alpha-terpineol and eucalyptol inhibited the growth and spread of the bacteria [17].
Most of the bacterial strains were wiped out by alpha-terpineol [17].
Its effects were similar to that of clotrimazole, an antibacterial commonly prescribed for this condition [17].
These compounds also alleviated inflammation by suppressing the activities of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the activation of NF-KB [17].
Researchers conclude that this herb dramatically reduced the number of Gardnerella vaginalis in the vaginal cavity and tissues [17].
What You'll Need:
- A handful of Japanese mugwort leaves
- A pot of water
Recommended Directions:
- Boil a pot of water.
- Add Japanese mugwort leaves.
- Use this solution to rinse the vagina.
- Repeat once a day for three weeks.
6. Lemongrass Oil
Lemongrass oil is derived from a tropical perennial plant that grows in sunny and humid environments [18].
The long list of its uses for the health will astound you.
Traditional healers from India and Nepal commonly use lemongrass to treat fever, pain and infectious diseases [18].
It has also been found to aid in digestion, reduce inflammation, treat head lice and dandruff, and even prevent certain forms of cancer [18].
As what recent research indicates, lemongrass is also beneficial for those suffering from bacterial vaginosis [19].
In fact, lemongrass is listed as one of the "most potent essential oils" that can successfully inhibit bacteria that cause vaginal infections [19].
That's because it demonstrated the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration [19].
What You'll Need:
- 5 drops of lemongrass oil
- 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil
Recommended Directions:
- Add lemongrass oil to jojoba oil.
- Mix well.
- Apply oil mixture on the vagina.
- Leave it on for one hour before rinsing with warm water.
- Use this remedy daily for three weeks.
7. Lavender Oil
Another essential oil that's included in the list of most effective remedies for bacterial vaginosis is lavender oil.
Like lemongrass, it also has strong inhibitory effects against bacterial strains that cause this vaginal infection [19].
At 1 to 2.5 ml, lavender oil can successfully suppress the activities of infectious bacteria [19].
As an added bonus, lavender is also an anxiolytic agent that reduces stress and anxiety caused by having an unpleasant medical condition [20].
Like most of the essential oils listed here, it's important to dilute lavender first before using.
This is to ensure that your skin does not get irritated.
What You'll Need:
- 5 drops of lavender oil
- 2 drops of tea tree oil
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Recommended Directions:
- Mix all the oils.
- Wash vagina with oil mixture.
- Repeat once a day until symptoms are gone.
8. Clove Oil
Also a potent antibacterial that has long been used for treating all sorts of bacterial infection is clove oil.
Eugenol in clove oil has been found effective in reducing symptoms of vaginal infections [21].
In one study, clove oil was applied by women with bacterial vaginosis once a day for seven days [21].
Results show that it worked just as well as thyme in reducing unpleasant symptoms [21].
Its effects were comparable to those of vaginal metronidazole [21].
Apart from this, this oil also helps resolve the issue of bacterial imbalance in the vagina [21].
It's no surprise that it's one of the most widely used natural remedies for bacterial vaginosis.
What You'll Need:
- 6 drops of clove oil
- 1 cup of warm water
Recommended Directions:
- Dilute clove oil in water.
- Use solution to rinse vagina after bathing.
- Repeat until symptoms disappear.
9. Thyme Oil
Suffering from annoying vaginal infection?
Thyme oil can come to your rescue.
Researchers from the University of Milan in Italy found that thyme oil is an efficient treatment method for bacterial vaginosis [22].
Results show that thymol, the active compound in thyme oil, interfered with the growth and spread of native and mature Gardnerella vaginalis [22].
Thymol's antibacterial properties mainly work by preventing the adhesion of bacterial strains [23].
Even at minimum concentration, this highly potent chemical was able to exert these actions and prevent infection.
What You'll Need:
- 6 drops of thyme oil
- 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil
Recommended Directions:
- Combine thyme oil and jojoba oil.
- Follow this remedy once a day for three weeks.
10. Apple Cider Vinegar
It doesn't sound like a good idea to wash your vagina with vinegar.
But you'll be surprised at how well it works in combating vaginal infection caused by pathogenic bacteria.
Apple cider vinegar, in fact, possesses potent antiseptic and antibacterial properties that can fight off the bacteria that cause malodor [24].
It works by preventing microbes from adhering to the vaginal area and causing harm [24].
Moreover, it also helps restore the acidity of the area to maintain proper vaginal flora.
What You'll Need:
- 1 glass of water
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
Recommended Directions:
- Add apple cider vinegar to water.
- Mix well.
- Drink this concoction once a day or every other day for one to two weeks.
11. Baking Soda
As it turns out, baking soda is not just an all-around household cleaner, it's also an efficient way to maintain vaginal hygiene.
So here's how it works:
Baking soda is a natural alkaline that helps neutralize the pH level in the vaginal area.
When there's proper balance of pH in this part of your body, the odor and infection will eventually be eliminated.
Plus, baking soda is also a natural deodorizer that can freshen up the smell down there.
Not surprisingly, Indian researchers who conducted a study on vaginal infection in 2009 recommend baking soda as an alternative treatment for this problem [25].
Not only is baking soda a common commodity that you probably have in your kitchen cupboard, this remedy is also very easy to prepare.
There's really no excuse not to try this one out.
What You'll Need:
- 1 cup of baking soda
- Bath water
Recommended Directions:
- Add baking soda to your bath water.
- Soak in the bath tub for 20 minutes.
- Dry your body thoroughly with a clean soft towel before putting on your clothes.
- Do this everyday until infection is cleared.
Dealing with a problem like bacterial vaginosis can be frustrating and stressful.
It may not be a life-threatening disease, but it can negatively impact your sexual life, and relationship.
To put an end to this infection, use these simple but highly effective natural remedies.

"Haystacks are a Christmas candy that my family makes every year, but we've never done a chocolate/peanut butter combo. These will be so good!"
"I'm disappointed. This looked like a great recipe to try, but the link provided goes to a website that only has one "Welcome" post dated back in July. No recipes, no photos, nothing. I'd delete this and substitute with another pear apple hand pie recipe, of which there seem to be a number on the Internet as a Google search will show."
"My mom lives in Florida and when I visited her years ago, I asked her to make her stuffed cabbage rolls, and this is what I got instead. She said she is getting too old to make the rolls, but she just threw everything in the slow cooked and I was so shocked that I liked it better then the rolled version. We don't eat beef, so she used ground turkey and ground pork and a can of V-8. She couldn't remember what all she put into it so I didn't get a recipe until now. Thank you so much, now I can make this at home here in the north."
"My family loves stuffed cabbage rolls! This recipe is almost like the one that has been passed down in my family. This one adds crushed ginger snaps, wow I so have to try that addition. Sounds yummy and better then just adding ground ginger to my meat mixture. I will be making this recipe next month and hope it will work out like I think it will. Thank you so much for sharing this free recipe."

Free Jake Gardiner: Agent uses Twitter to pry client from Maple Leafs' shackles
Jake Gardiner is the Toronto Maple Leafs' brightest young star on defense, scoring 30 points in 40 games with the AHL Toronto Marlies this season. He was demoted back there after only two games with the Leafs this season, as GM Dave Nonis said Gardiner had to "find his legs again" after rehabbing from a concussion.
The Leafs have lost three in a row, with "the cracks in their defence beginning to look more like canyons," as Mike Zeisberger wrote. Gardiner is still toiling in the minors. His agent, former NHLer Ben Hankinson, had seen enough, and sent the following call to action out on Twitter following Toronto's loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday night:
It was a tweet heard 'round Leafs Nation, as many fans rallied to a cause they'd been supporting for some time. Pension Plan Puppets called the campaign "sorely needed."
That's great and all, but NHL teams have a funny way of not appreciating the virtues of agents using social media to influence their client's playing time or status with their employer.
In fact, it's sort of an Octagon Hockey specialty: Remember Allan Walsh's Twitter campaign against the Minnesota Wild on behalf of Petr Sykora, saying his client was being "disrespected" by Coach Todd Richards?
Sykora was demoted and released a few weeks later.
Does this move by his agent put Gardiner on the trading block? Not necessarily, although his value is significant. It doesn't sit well with his AHL coach, however. From Chris Johnston of Sportsnet:
Dallas Eakins on #FreeJakeGardiner: "From his agent's standpoint, I'm not sure it was well thought out."
— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) March 13, 2013
Dallas Eakins also said he takes offence to the notion that Jake Gardiner is locked up somewhere that he needs to be freed from.

A NORTH-EAST banknote printer has revealed its new chief executive.
De La Rue, which has its main printing factory in Gateshead, has appointed BAE Systems managing director Martin Sutherland.
The move comes after the departure of Tim Cobbold in March.
Loading article content
Mr Sutherland will take up his post by Monday, October 13.
Philip Rogerson, De La Rue chairman, said: "The board is delighted to appoint Martin.
"He brings strong commercial skills and wide experience of growing technologically demanding businesses supplying governments and financial institutions worldwide."
De La Rue prints more than 150 national currencies, including Bank of England notes, and is also the largest commercial passport provider.
Last year, The Northern Echo revealed it had secured a three-year Bangladesh contract to supply millions of passports.
The company also confirmed it wanted to make the bank's new polymer-based notes, which could replace existing cotton paper currency by 2016.
It has already made plastic money for Fiji and Mauritius.

Men, Lets Stop Preying and Start Protecting
This week at the end of a church service, I watched as several men and women gave their testimonies and got baptized. It was unsettling how many of the women's testimonies included some sort of wound stemming from a past boyfriend or a guy at some party. Many of them having been raped, manipulated or talked into doing something that they didn't want to do. Continue reading
Ladies, You're worth More than That
This week I spent a lot of time packing and moving. I was so busy that I kind of forgot to eat, I guess. Then I'd make a plan to cook an elaborate and healthy meal once I was finished packing. The packing took longer than I thought, and I was starting to grow hungry and impatient. I found a tupperware full of frozen Christmas treats from my mom. I ate a couple, then a couple more, and then a couple more again. I didn't have the patience or time to wait and put together a healthy meal. Instead, I was left initially satisfied. But in the end I felt like crap. By the way, I think this might be Taco Bell's business strategy. Continue reading
I Didn't Wait for My Future Spouse, and You Shouldn't Either
It's true, I didn't wait for my future wife. Even as a Christian and someone who wants to do ministry, I'm still not waiting for her. Even though I grew up in the church where, at a young age, I was taught that I needed to wait for my wife who was somewhere out there. I was taught how blessed my future marriage and sex life would be if I waited and didn't ruin it ahead of time. I was promised that it was worth the wait, and that she was worth the wait.

Part 22 years ago today, 01net published the most detailed Wii2 rumor yet, and reviled the codename.... (note: this article was in French, and was translated to English using Google Translate, mistakes are likely):
Project Café. For the frog eaters that we are, the code name for the new console from Nintendo does not sound very glamorous. However, we reserve the many beautiful surprises that could make us forget the uninspired nickname, which refers to the place where they drink rather than the drink, which is temporary anyway. Curtain on the future of Nintendo!
For some time, the company did Kyoto greatest mystery of its new strategic directions. According to its CEO, Satoru Iwata, the opponent tomorrow is not Sony or Microsoft, but rather Apple . Which, in turn, plays the naive and sticks to a position could not be more ambiguous vis-à-vis the video game, never by not communicating directly upon it yet capital activity. However, behind the scenes, preparing a major conflict: Apple including poached Nintendo employees , which would suggest that the game is much more serious than suggest its official positions. As for Nintendo's answer, here it is approaching.
A tablet as a controller
We were talking yesterday of a lever "very original" ... and that's saying something. That the Café will be a tablet ...! Neither more nor less. Certainly, we should not expect an equivalent of the iPad. Unlike Computerandvideogames information reported by our sources say the tablet screen is not high definition, but in standard definition, less than 720p. Graphics performance have been described as modest, but sufficient for a variety of applications and concepts yet to be invented.
The VMU for Dreamcast, a gaming device that foreshadowed the Café.
It would be a sort of "super VMU" (the device from the Dreamcast, which included a memory and a LCD screen for mini-games) on steroids. The nature of the wireless connection with the console is still a mystery. A sensor corresponding to the sensor bar of the Wii (that is to say, the receiver signals from the Wiimote) is integrated into the handle-tablet. It remains unclear how it integrates processor, even if the choice of a small ARM seems more than probable.
The handle on the billiard-shelf-
Screen Size: 6 inches.
- Usability: Digital cross, L, R, two triggers, other.
- Touch Screen: single touch .
- Sensor for Wiimote (replaces the sensor bar, Wii).
- Camera : one end.
The cost to be modest, it is understood that the performance is limited and the quality of manufacture can not be compared to an iPad or most tablets on the market. Remains whether this tablet will lend itself to mobile use away from the console for games and applications independent with or without wireless connectivity. That fits in any case the continuity statements Shigeru Miyamoto, who claimed to want to move towards a " new type of control and interface " .
This innovation will certainly inspire many ideas to the developers of the Earth. The VMU for Dreamcast or the use of the Game Boy Advance as a controller with an additional screen in games such as Zelda: Four Swords gave us a taste of what you can expect from this new type of controller. One can easily imagine a lot of games for everyone to hide his hand to deploy cunning strategies of secret alliances with other players, so many impossible things when everyone is playing on a single screen.
A cousin of the Xbox 360
Big N decided to use an architecture very similar to that of an existing console, and properly installed, the Xbox 360. According to our sources, the Café will be slightly above the Microsoft machine in terms of power. The comparison is easy because of the striking similarity in terms of hardware. Confrontation with the PS3 is much more difficult and highly subjective. We have currently not enough evidence to comment on the issue.
The choice of architecture has important consequences. Porting Xbox 360 titles will be a cinch, ensuring an influx of games existing cost for publishers. We are forced to admire the ingenuity of Nintendo, which greatly lowers the barrier of entry for developers.
Another direct consequence backward compatibility with Wii titles (and probably GameCube titles), both architectures are of the same family. It will take to turn a few adjustments, all the basic instructions are supported in hardware. This is not yet a certainty, unlike heralded by some U.S. sites. No information has yet filtered through the media type (physical, paperless ...) used for games. Similarly, it seems that all the devices on the Wii should be compatible with the Café.
Anatomical cut Console- CPU: Custom IBM PowerPC with three cores.
- Graphics chip: AMD (ATI) - probably a serial R700, with a shader (for the management effects) later than the Xbox 360 (probably version 4.1).
- RAM : unknown. It would make sense whether a unified RAM, like the 360, with a minimum of 512 MB
Developers, I love you
That publishers like Ubisoft, who called a hue and cry a new console , rejoice! The Café will be presented at E3 2011, and the elements that we now know are already likely to inspire all developers on the planet, both the creative possibilities that it will offer the ease of programming. The time is decidedly developer-friendly ... It was time, some would say. The Wii console often described as a curse for third party publishers, has left a bitter taste in the mouths of many developers. Nintendo has heard the message, stating its willingness to work closely with other developers, providing the outset how to create the best conditions. The choice of an architecture similar to that of the Xbox 360 clearly meets this objective.
Other surprises to come
The handle of the coffee would be a tablet, iPad way, but with buttons.
A new golden age of games and other family entertainment or college is it about to be born? The way is open to many types of game designs innovative games creative practice alone or with others, handling organic and participatory exploration of simultaneous two sides of the same universe, etc.. One thing is certain: Nintendo has taken a big step and play a game at very high risk. The Big N will he win again as a central player in the entertainment practice of the future? We will probably begin to answer at the next E3, and more specifically, in June 2012, the date scheduled for the current console output.
In addition, our sources tell us that the coffee still holds a big, huge, a huge surprise ... it is impossible to reveal at this time. The suspense remains (almost) whole ...
Part One

My Fall/Winter Shoes
As much as any girl loves her shoes(and I collect loads of them), during the summer I pretty much live in flip flops or sandals. So I usually use the fall/winter months to play around with my footwear.
Theses shoes are what's on heavy rotation this upcoming season.
Theses shoes are what's on heavy rotation this upcoming season.
Clockwise from upper left.
Brogues/oxfords - I have been waiting a good 6 months to a year for these puppies to go on sale and when the finally did I snatched them up. I love the grey tone to these oxfords because you can really wear them with anything without looking too dressed up. Frye Delia Saddle Oxfords
Heeled booties - These are a laced version. But I've been eyeing the Rag & Bone Harrow Boots(but who am I to spend $500 on shoes right now?!!) But I've these pair of shoes for over 2 years and they have surprisingly have kept in tact. Especially since they're from Forever 21.
Low heeled booties - I love these shoes! They are very comfortable and you really match these with anything. I've been planning to wear these with some fun tights and a cute dress. Sam Edelman Petty
Loafers - These are super trendy right now, and I honestly wouldn't have bought them if it weren't that reason. I simply saw these on so many girls and thought 'you know what they are cute' and had to get a pair myself. I stuck with a black velvet version. These are from Zara, and they are bit painful to break in but eventually that subsides and they are really fun and dress up any outfit.
What are your favorite fall/winter shoes?

The primary encroachment concern is residential development in and near the APZs and noise contour areas of the main base and two OLFs. Airspace management is also a concern since Navy training operations requires over 750 take-offs and landings per day and the international airport is within their training airspace. The proposed JLUS study area is within the planning and zoning authority of the City of Corpus Christi.

|Louisville's waterfront lures unsuspecting white people
to be preyed upon by savagery. The pandemic nature
of the attacks provides a compelling argument that
it is a genetic script found in virtually all
American communities of African descent.
Nonetheless, young males of African descent appear to be following a genetic script that compels them to hunt in packs, preying on weak and vulnerable victims.
Authorities are forced to acknowledge that their community is not immune from the phenomenon that is pandemicly apparent across the country.
Mayor Greg Fischer unwittingly admitted that neither parental nor community training could override the script when he observed, "You weren't raised this way; it is not the way we roll in the city."
Community leaders have no choice but the face the violence, they refuse to acknowledge its root cause. Rather they seek socio-economic explanations for the violence. It's akin to blaming Bigfoot for the poop outside your Collie's doghouse. What does not exist cannot be found and ignoring the obvious doesn't make it less obvious.
Nonetheless investment is being made to counter the savagery.
Apologists for violent black rascality say that black teens are deprived of adequate entertainment venues, such as movie theaters, and gather, instead, in the dark shadows of the Waterfront area.
Privileged white people, on the other hand, have access to multiple entertainment opportunities and that, they explain, is why black thugs attack innocent and defenseless people while white suburbanites do not.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - For suburban families, downtown's Waterfront Park is but one gathering place. But for some west Louisville teenagers, it may be the only place.
"They shut down the movies," a party organizer who bills himself Young Commercial. "You can't go after 6 without a parent. But you go to Waterfront. Basically they go down there to have a good time."
"To the young kids; y'all know what you did was wrong," Metro Mayor Greg Fischer said Monday. "You weren't raised this way; it is not the way we roll in the city."
Community organizers won't call Saturday's mob violence a case of wilding waiting to happen. But they caution that it could foreshadow a difficult spring and summer.
"If we don't get it now-try to do things, better steps to stop it from happening, somebody else is gonna get really hurt," Young Commercial said.
"The answer to the wilding is not a beefed-up police force," said the Rev. Dr. Kevin Cosby, pastor of St. Stephen Baptist Church, "but beefed up investment in West Louisville."
The new Walmart Supercenter could be a step toward that end, bringing jobs when it opens at 18th & Broadway.
"We believe they (teenagers involved in violence) come from good families but made bad choices, said the Rev. Vincent James, pastor of Elim Baptist Church. "So we have an opportunity to be able to correct that."
Downtown promoters maintain that Saturday's troubles are merely a stumble.
"You can ask the question as many ways as you like," said David Karem, President and executive director of the Waterfront Development Corporation. "But Louisville has a safe downtown-with a fine Metro Police Department. It's growing and it's going to continue to grow."
Louisville Downtown Partnership's interim director, Rebecca Matheny, praised the promise of more police patrols, whether via horseback, bicycle or on foot. But she lays a greater responsibility upon parents.
"It's incumbent on them," Matheny said. "If you didn't know where your kids were Saturday night, ask them. Find out where they were, and take a more active role.
"That's why I was stressing the parents," a party organizer identified as DJ Fatman. "It comes back to knowing where your kids are, at all times."
And creating more options than simply more places to gather and wander.
"If you stop 'em from the waterfront, they go somewhere else," said Young Commercial.

On April 18, 2008 the College at Brockport's librarians and IT staff stirred up a successful one-day conference: "Integrating Library Services into Learning Management Systems." "Library-2-LMS" (its shortened title) was a one-day regional conference where participants learned about ways in which libraries had incorporated information, databases, tutorials, and assessment instruments into learning management systems. The concept for the conference originated during a library/IT meeting. One librarian, with support from several departments, wrote and received a $5000 COCID (Conference on Computing in the Disciplines) grant from the statewide SUNY Technology committee. This amount plus a small registration fee paid by participants covered all aspects of the conference.

The Blue and John Crow Mountains has long been an important part of Jamaica's History. In fact, The Blue and John Crow Mountains can be traced back to the 1600's. During that period, the first Jamaican settlers the Tainos Indians lived in these mountains. In the late 1600's and thru the late 1730's, the Maroons fought two Maroon Wars with the British in The Blue and John Crow Mountains. These Maroon Wars were led by Jamaica's only Female National Hero "Queen Nanny"" and her five brothers (Captain Cudjoe, Accompong, Johnny, Cuffy, and Quao). Together, they led a number of former slaves to battle the the British
After the Maroons defeated the British in both Wars, the British signed two separate Peace Treaty. Through these Peace Treaty, the Maroons were given land and lived under selected law. Today, the Maroons continues to live as Sovereign State with their own bylaws. They are not required to pay taxes and they elected their owned chief. Therefore, the Maroons have their own country within the country of Jamaica.
As a result of all the rich history in the Blue and John Crow Mountains, Jamaica enters the World Heritage Site after meeting all the criteria. On July 3, 2015 The Blue and John Crow Mountains was officially designated by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) as a World Heritage Site. As a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park of Jamaica which covers about 200,000 acres and spans across sections of the parishes of St. Thomas, Portland and St. Andres. These mountains boast a cloud forest which is considered a rare habitat of tropical mountains. Furthermore, the Blue and John Crow Mountains peaks over 3,000 feet and remains one of the last two known habitats which are home to the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly which is the largest butterfly in the Western Hemisphere.
Because The Blue and John Crow Mountains in Jamaica has been designated as both a cultural and natural Heritage site and the only one in the sub-region of the Caribbean, it now becomes one of only 32 mixed sites on the World Heritage list. Jamaica has now joined the ranks of other iconic site such as The Taj Mahal of India, the Great Wall of China, The Pyramids of Egypt as well as the Pitons in St. Lucia amongst others.
There are over 800 species of endemic plants, over 200 species of birds of which 29 are endemic bird species in the Blue and John Crow Mountains which makes it one of the largest migratory bird habitats in the Caribbean. The other location for the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly is The Cockpit County, home to the Leeward Maroons. The Cockpit County was the first Sovereign State body of land given to the Maroons after the first Peace Treaty was signed with the British. Therefore, these were some of the consideration that were thought about which makes The Blue and John Crow Mountains and it's cloud forest extremely unique in Jamaica and the Caribbean.
In addition, there are bird watching points for all the rare endemics bird species such as the Jamaican Blackbird (Nesopsar nigerrimus). While exploring the area, the Holywell area is where you will likely hear the Rufous-throated Solitaire (Myadestes genibarbis) and see other species such as Mountain Witch (Geotryon versicolor) species of birds. The John Crow and Blue Mountains also serves as a winter habitat for many birds migrating from colder climates including the Swainson warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii). The Robin Redbreast (Todus todus) or the Jamaican Tody can also be seen in the mountains.
The whole rugged landscape of the forestry and the cascading waterfalls is very important to the island. The Blue and John Crow Mountains waterfalls extend into the Rio Grande River and supplies about 40% of the people of Jamaica with their water plus additional water for agricultural and commercial usage. The Blue and John Crow Mountains has been apart of Jamaica and Jamaicans identity since the 1600's. During those days, the Tainos, Queen Nanny and her brothers use the mountains as their safe haven to avoid been captured and enslaved. Over the years, the Blue and John Crow Mountains have been know for the world famous Blue Mountain Coffee. The Blue Mountain Coffee is grown in the mountains and must be cultivated over 2500 feet above sea level to be branded as Blue Mountain Coffee.
Today, the Blue and John Crow Mountains are well celebrated for it's past and present history. Furthermore, it's now recognized by the world as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. While there are always planned event including adventurous tours arranged by several organizations. There are also a great guided bicycle tour in which the groups are driven close to the top over 2500 feet above sea level. At that point you are assigned a bicycle in which you can enjoy a beautiful scenic tour and learn some of the great history on the ride down.
