text: Gallium-67 citrate (Ga-67) has been used in the localization of multipletumors, most notably lymphoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and melanoma. Becauseits behavior is similar to that of the ferric ion, it is accumulatedintracellularly within tumor cells. Like the ferric ion, Ga-67 binds totransferrin and enters the extracellular fluid space, after which it is boundby transferrin receptors on the tumor cell surface. The levels of transferrinreceptor expression tend to be increased with higher grade lymphomas,corresponding to increased uptake by these tumors.1 Once Ga-67 been transportedinto the cell, it is bound to the iron-binding proteins-ferritin andlactoferrin-and ultimately stored within intracellular lysosomes. Both of theseproteins are found in increased concentration within tumor cells, accountingfor the increased uptake of gallium in tumor versus normal cells. Thedistribution of gallium within normal structures includes the liver, lacrimaland salivary glands, spleen, bone, and bone marrow. Additionally, there hasbeen significant activity noted within the bowel. During the first 24 hoursfollowing injection, excretion is from the genitourinary tract as well as thegastrointestinal tract; however, this changes to primarily bowel excretionafter the first 24 hours. The use of Ga-67 in the evaluation of tumors has been limited, to some extent,by technological and physiologic factors. Early studies have underestimated thesensitivity and specificity of gallium tumor detection by the use of outdatedtechnologies. To a large degree, these technological limitations have beenminimized with the advent of SPECT imaging and improved imaging protocols.Recent studies have demonstrated increased sensitivity and specificity with theutilization of these newer imaging techniques.2,3 Physiological limitations have existed as well, and these continue to causeproblems in the routine utilization of gallium for tumor detection. Mostnotably, the significant uptake of gallium by the GI tract has limited the useof this agent in the evaluation of abdominal tumors. Some authors haveadvocated the use of cleansing enemas prior to imaging. At our institution, wehave not found this helpful and have found the irritation to the bowel by thesepreparations offsets any advantage gained by their routine use. Anotherphysiologic factor which has limited the routine use of gallium has been thevaried uptake by tumor cells. While some tumors demonstrate marked galliumavidity, other tumors of the same cell type have not. Furthermore, the avidityof a metastatic lesion may not reflect that of the original tumor mass.Nevertheless, clinical applications for the use of gallium exist. Perhaps the area in which gallium has been most useful is the follow-up ofknown gallium avid lymphoma after radiation or chemotherapy. Follow-up of knowntumor masses with CT, the commonly accepted methodology, may demonstrateresidual mass at the site of previously known lesions. While CT is unable todistinguish between residual or recurrent tumor versus fibrosis, gallium isquite useful in making this distinction. Non-active scar tissue (fibrosis) willnot accumulate gallium, while recurrent or residual lymphoma will. In patientswith complete remission, gallium imaging was reported to be negative in 95% ofpatients, compared with 57% on CT and 55% on chest radiographs.2,3 While only20% of patients may have enlargement of the mediastinum, gallium scans haverevealed increased tracer accumulation in 100% of the patients who relapsed.Other studies have shown the specificity of gallium imaging for residualdisease at 93% compared with 83% for MRI.4 This distinction is further aided bythe initial acquisition of a pre-treatment gallium scan to determine avidity.Clearly, the implications of a negative gallium scan are less clear than thoseof a positive gallium follow-up. Because of this, the follow-up evaluationshould be done after definitive chemotherapy and consolidation radiotherapy. At our institution, a 10 mCi dose of Ga-67 is injected intravenously, followedby planar imaging started at 48 hours. Additional imaging is performed at 72and 96 hours, or longer, if needed. SPECT imaging is performed, at the abovetimes, of those areas most suspected of harboring viable lymphoma. A negative scan may indicate the presence of scar or a change in the avidity ofthe original tumor mass. While this finding does not carry as clear aninterpretation as a positive scan, it is supportive evidence of fibrosisfollowing radiation or chemotherapy. Definitive diagnosis in this case willdepend upon needle biopsy, which may be deferred to later follow-up based onthe clinical presentation of the patient. Conversely, a positive post-treatmentscan is consistent with a recurrent or residual tumor. It should be noted thatthymic rebound causing benign increased accumulation of gallium can occurduring or immediately after chemotherapy and is one cause of false-positiveexaminations. Other benign causes such as respiratory tract infections andsarcoidosis also should be considered. Images from two patients are included here. Figures 1A and 1B demonstrate apatient with a positive CT scan and a negative gallium scan, consistent withscar tissue. Figures 2A and 2B demonstrate a patient with a positive CT and apositive gallium scan, consistent with active disease. AR

The results of the March 25th meeting with the Vilas County Forestry Committee resulted in a denial of the Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance request to return to a December 1st opening date in our county snow conditions permitting. THAT MEANS IF THE MUZZLELOADER SEASON DURING CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR WEEK HAPPENS VILAS COUNTY TRAILS CAN'T OPEN. At the meeting the Forestry Committee stated that they would not open the trails. After the Forestry Committee Meeting in an interview with the media they have said they will revisit this issue if it passes.
April 13-Conservation Congress Hearing-Held in all 72 Counties at 7PM. It is very important that Snowmobilers attend their local county meeting. There are 2 questions proposing a Muzzle Loader Gun season during the Christmas Holidays. If this would take effect snowmobile trails would not be able to open until AFTER THE CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR HOLIDAY in Vilas County.-Vilas County Location-Sayner Community Center

Proving that he isn't afraid to change up his hairstyle, Robert Pattinson stuns fans with a new buzz cut during a press conference for his new film Bel Ami. These images show the Twilight hunk while chatting with the media during day nine of the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival held at the Grand Hyatt on Friday, February 17th, 2012 in Berlin, Germany.
I remember when I interviewed him during 2011 San Diego Comic Con and he came across the press line with a somewhat buzz cut with a weird little wave. He's adventurous with his style and I love that!
His beautiful co-star Christina Ricci was also in attendance, commanding some attention of her own in a low-cut, blue dress that fit her trim figure perfectly.
The Declan Donnellan directed drama tells the story of Georges Duroy (Pattinson), a young journalist's corrupt rise to power from poverty to one of the most successful men in Paris via the beds of the city's most glamorous and influential women.
You gotta give the guy credit for picking such varied roles to separate his on-screen identity from the vampire Edward Cullen in the highly successful Twilight series.
Bel Ami, which also stars Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Holly Grainger, is set to hit theaters on March 2nd.

Walker led the Righetti boy with 35 points, including a game-tying 3-pointer and a clutch bucket to put Righetti ahead 61-59 late in the game. Brown, who drained 4 three-point baskets, drained two free throws in the final minute to give the Warriors a four point advantage. Brown finished with 14 points. Frankie Platero added 11 points for Righetti. Rudy Binkele hit a three pointers, but it was not enough for the Bearcats.
Paso Robles took an early 13-5 lead and led 20-16 at the end of the first quarter. The Warriors, led by Walker, dominated the second quarter to take a 44-37 lead at halftime. The game was tied 50-50 after three quarter.
Once again, Josh Wilson-Murry led the Bearcats with 26 points. He was called for a technical foul with nearly 30 seconds to play though that allowed Brown to shoot and make the game-winning free throws. Wilson-Murry drained 6 three-pointers and dished out 6 assists. Matt Van Dyk added 10 points and Jaylon Davis added 12 for Paso Robles.
The Bearcats led 59-56 late in the game after Davis hit a basket, but Walker drained a three-pointer to tie it 59-59.
Paso Robles fell to 0-1 in league and 4-9 overall, while the Warriors improved to 5-8 overall and 1-0 in league.
The Paso Robles girls edged the Warriors 43-40. Molly Donovan led the Bearcats with 19 points. Paso Robles improved to 8-6 on the year and 1-0 in league. Righetti fell to 5-9 overall and 0-1 in Pac 7 games.

Firstly, Happy New Year! I hope you had a good holiday season.
I have been playing SWTOR, after something of a struggle to get my videocard drivers to stay installed correctly. Warcraft is also installed, but it feels like I'm still a tad burned out with that game. The next target to download is Rift, and then LOTRO to complete my MMO stable. Although when I will get time to play them all, I have no idea. Pewter has moved from the world of Apple to the world of Windows 7, and wow has it changed since I last gamed on a PC. After approximately 6 years as a mac user, the level of pretty is extremely impressive in it's own right.
Before I begin my long ramble on SWTOR, I must own up to not really being a Star Wars fan. I enjoyed the movies, I appreciate how embedded they are in general scifi culture (and general pop culture) and that's about it. Yet Bioware continue, time and time again, to draw me into the worlds and the lore that I have been dumped in. Moments feel epic and iconic, such as the forging of a lightsaber, or the first time my Bounty Hunter uses her off-hand explodey thing.
George Lucas could learn a thing or two about dialogue and storytelling from Bioware. Seriously.
Engaging worlds
Each planet so far has been visually distinct. It would be very easy for each spacey-urban city to feel very similar, but even when using shared art assets, each area that I have had the chance to run through has been breath-taking in both detail and scope. Extremely linear, in many ways, but the feeling of space through the use of far-distance and painted sky domes has lead to some truly stunning vistas. Other details include the snatches of conversation from local NPCs, the variety of fauna, the way a cloak ripples differently when you strafe, and a hundred other animated details.
Sacrifices must be made
There has been a lot of talk in the MMO-sphere about whether Bioware has bitten off more than it can chew with the class quests/dialogue. With the appeal of the game apparently resting so heavily on this aspect – what happens when even the slowpokes like me have hit 50? Will the raiding be good enough to keep interest? With story being so important, the addition of new 'dailies' and a couple of new Flashpoints is unlikely to keep players interested in that story interested. That said, Bioware have a pretty good record with interesting DLC in their single player games, but what remains to be seen is whether they can keep that up a pace.
So what is sacrificed? Any innovation in the talent trees. My two characters that have made it to Advanced class status are my Sith Warrior, now a marauder, and my Jedi Consular who went the route of sage. It was rather awesome to make it to the fleet, newly equipped with my shiny new lightsaber, but then such a let down to look at the talent trees for the first time. While the rest of the game had been relatively 'mmo-noob' friendly, the talent trees gave me flashbacks to 2007. They're big, unweildy, and uninspiring. After the improved newbie experience that World of Warcraft has laid on, and the flexibility of Rift, the introductions to the talents and talent trees feel like the designers are making a lot of assumptions about the knowledge level of their players. It's nice not to be patronised, but the trees feel both unfocused and set in stone. I'm sure it is possible to respec, but I felt almost scared to commit to talent choices in case I made the wrong choice. Yes, I'm a whining whiner.
Combat is a funny beast. Damage feels inconsistent. One minute I'm slicing through mobs at a great rate of knots, the next I'm flailing uselessly at the same mob type, whittling it's health down slowly. I think this is because of my dreaded rural broadband rather than any specific failure on balancing. The global cooldown system feels a bit odd, frankly, and results in combat feeling slow and distant. This is odd, because you'd expect the lack of auto-attack to make combat feel more immediate. That said I'm still low level, so I need more time to work out the best spell priorities for each character, which will probably help.
Primed for a future patch?
My friends over at The Drunk Tank made a comment that space combat feels unfinished. Could we see Bioware spending more resources on it during a future major patch? I would like to think so, but I'm not sure they should have put it in at all in the meantime if it was just a stop gap.
I like the UI, but more customisability should be in the pipeline or things could get very irritating. The maps are pretty excellent and clear, with quest tracking handled well. Things like Lightsaber Forms (e.g. Marauder) should be switched to stance/form style buttons like Warcraft druids. I find the stylistic look of the UI lovely overall and most necessary information is well presented. I have not ventured into the AH yet, and by all accounts that is rather horrific. After the auction house mods in Warcraft, the primitive Auction houses of SWTOR and Rift are extremely tiring and backwards. Unfortunately the developers are competing against addon creators for other games, not just their professional competitors. Warcraft is incredibly good at learning from addon developers, if occasionally a tad slow. Bioware would do well to study not only the UIs of competitors, but the player created UIs for those competitors.
In my next post I plan to explore Jedi and Sith philosophy and sexuality. As you do.

The International Olympic Committee executive board recently recommended wrestling be cut from the 2020 Games during a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The announcement that a sport dating to ancient times and synonymous with the modern Olympics since 1896 was getting the axe sent shockwaves through the wrestling community (amateur and pro).
Among the most vocal of their displeasure was TNA Impact Wrestling star Kurt Angle, who took home Olympic gold for Team USA in heavyweight freestyle wrestling at the Atlanta Games in 1996.
"There were several sports on the table that were looked to be dropped," he said. "I believe that there were a lot of representatives from different sports there fighting for their sport not to be dropped. I believe that the world governing body of wrestling took it for granted that there was no way in heck they were going to drop wrestling.
"I think they might have dropped the ball a little bit and didn't show up to fight. I've heard that the former IOC president was a pentathlete and his son (Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr.) is on the committee….I believe they were going for either badminton or wrestling, and they chose wrestling, which completely baffles me considering badminton is pretty much a recreation sport. Wrestling is the oldest sport in the world and very competitive worldwide, so I'm not sure how this happened. I don't believe anyone in the wrestling community thought wrestling would get dropped."
For Angle and many others in and out of the sport, the fight to keep wrestling alive in the Olympics has just started. Online petitions and campaigns have formed in growing numbers.
"As long as we continue to have the support we've had and it continues on, I believe we will get it back and that wrestling will be part of the Olympics," Angle, 44, said. "I can't imagine the Olympics without having wrestling in it, considering it's the world's oldest sport. There is so much history to it and so much tradition. When you think of the Olympics, you think of Greco-Roman wrestling; you think of track-and-field. You aren't really thinking of badminton or trampoline or ballroom dancing or other sports.
"I'm not picking on them. I'm just saying they aren't traditional. I don't know what the reasoning was. I'm sure they considered wrestling as not a female watched sport. I know a lot of females that watch the Olympics, and that could have something to do with it. We started having female wrestling to get our female audience more involved and invested with female wrestling. So I don't know how wrestling can get dropped. Wrestling to the Olympics is pretty much like what the 100-meter dash is to track-and-field. I don't know how you have the Olympics without wrestling. I'm still baffled by it, but I'm going to fight it every bit of the way for it."
This isn't the first time a sports has been dropped by the IOC. In 2005, baseball and softball were removed from the Olympics, but wrestling has a global appeal.
Without wrestling in the Olympics, a number of countries may not be represented. The impact would be devastating internationally, as well as in the United States.
"There are countries that only have two or three sports," Angle said. "They depend on Olympic wrestling and take pride in it. It means everything to them. When you win the gold medal, you are considered a folk hero or national hero. There are a lot of countries like that, especially in the Middle East and other countries.

Very interesting stair climbing wheeled robot designed in Intelligent Robot Lab at University of Tsukuba.More information:http://www.roboken.esys.tsukuba.ac.jp/
Impressive! I'm just trying to imagine how many motors/actuators it uses...but I'm failing miserably!I can imagine this design being used in commercial robots in the future (such as butler robots). The way it climbs stairs reminds me a bit of how the "Wheg" robot moves (a movie of this was posted a while ago)Amazing!

ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl's statement in response to criticism for the deceptive sourcing in his so-called "exclusive" on administration talking points on the September attacks in Benghazi is fundamentally misleading.
In a statement to CNN, Karl claimed that ABC News "updated our story immediately" when it became clear it was based on misquoted emails from administration officials. But Karl also insisted the story "still entirely stands," and the network has issued no on-air corrections. In fact, in two on-air reports on the release of administration emails that debunked his reporting, Karl said that those emails "confirm" ABC News' original story.
Conservatives have long claimed that the Obama administration edited references to terrorism out of the Benghazi talking points for political reasons. Karl buttressed those allegations with a May 10 report that claimed, based on what appeared to be direct quotes from the emails of White House and State Department aides, that "the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department."
Karl's "exclusive" received widespread coverage even though it was largely a rehash of previously covered debates on who gave input into the talking points. It did not disprove what Gen. David Petraeus, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency, testified in November: that the intelligence community signed off on the final draft of the talking points, and that references to terrorist groups in Libya were removed in order to avoid tipping off those groups.
But Karl's story dissolved after CNN's Jake Tapper obtained a key email from a White House aide that differed substantially from how it had been quoted by Karl. The ABC News reporter then acknowledged that he had never seen the actual emails on which he had reported. Rather, a Republican source had read him their own summaries of those emails.
On May 20, CNN's Howard Kurtz reported the following statement from Karl: "Clearly, I regret the email was quoted incorrectly and I regret that it's become a distraction from the story, which still entirely stands. I should have been clearer about the attribution. We updated our story immediately."
This statement merely compounds the dubious practices that in which Karl and ABC News have engaged with regard to this story.
From the May 19 edition of CNN's Reliable Sources:
Loading the player reg...
ABC News is now claiming that its Benghazi "exclusive" was based on summaries of emails between administration aides, not the emails themselves -- an assertion belied by their earlier reports.
CNN's Jake Tapper reported on May 14 that he had obtained an email sent by White House aide Ben Rhodes that "differs from how sources inaccurately quoted and paraphrased it in previous accounts to different media organizations," including ABC's Karl. According to Tapper, previous accounts of the email made it "appear that the White House was 'more interested in the State Department's desire to remove mentions of specific terrorist groups and warnings about these groups so as to not bring criticism to the State Department than Rhodes' email actually stated.'"
The conservative media has spent months obsessing over the Benghazi talking points that administration officials were discussing in those emails. According to right-wing conspiracy, the administration edited the talking points to downplay the role of terrorism in the attack in order to benefit the Obama reelection campaign. In fact, as then-CIA director David Petraeus noted, the talking points were changed to avoid interfering with the ongoing investigation into the perpetrators -- an account bolstered by the full version of the Rhodes email.
ABC News has responded by claiming their original reporting was based on summaries of the emails, not the emails themselves. In a statement to the Washington Post's Erik Wemple, an ABC spokesperson wrote: "Assuming the email cited by Jake Tapper is accurate, it is consistent with the summary quoted by Jon Karl." Karl himself has responded that rather than reviewing the emails themselves, he actually had been "quoting verbatim a source who reviewed the original documents and shared detailed notes." He added that "[t]he source was not permitted to make copies of the original e-mails," suggesting that his original report was based solely on that source's summaries, and denied that the summaries provided an inaccurate take on the original email.
But ABC News and Karl himself have repeatedly suggested he had obtained the actual emails, not summaries of emails from Rhodes and others in the administration.
In the third paragraph of his May 10 ABCNews.com article, Karl reported that "White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department" (emphasis added). Three paragraphs later, he wrote that "Summaries of White House and State Department emails -- some of which were first published by Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard -- show that the State Department had extensive input into the editing of the talking points" (emphasis added). That was the sole reference to "summaries" in the online article. Instead, he repeatedly produced quotes from what he described as "emails," suggesting that he had personally reviewed the original documents.
Karl and his ABC News colleagues also repeatedly suggested on-air that he had obtained the actual emails.
Reporting on ABC's Good Morning America on May 10, Karl neither said he had personally reviewed the emails, nor said he had reviewed summaries. Instead, he said he had "had emails read to me," then provided what he described as a direct quote from a State Department spokeswoman's email.
Karl likewise cited "an email obtained by ABC" on the May 10 edition of ABC's World News and read the comments from the State Department spokeswoman as a "quote" from that email. (via Nexis).
Similarly, ABC's Martha Raddatz referred to Karl having "exclusively obtained the emails" on the May 12 edition of This Week, while Reena Ninan referenced "emails exclusively unearthed" by Karl on the May 11 World News.
It seems reasonable for readers to assume that when, for instance, a reporter publishes a direct quote attributed to a White House staffer from what is described as "an email dated 9/14/12 at 9:34 p.m.," the reporter is producing the actual words the aide wrote. Now ABC News is claiming that that is not the case.
Economic media coverage has been heavily focused on advocating for deficit reduction, even as deficits decline and the federal government posts a surplus.
A Media Matters analysis on economic news coverage in the month of April found that media continued their long-established focus on deficit reduction. In 45 of 123 total segments discussing policy impacts on the economy, guests or hosts on network and cable news advocated for deficit reduction as a priority.
Calls for deficit reduction beat out mentions of other economic issues, most notably the need for economic growth and job creation, and economic inequality.
The continued focus on deficit reduction is particularly interesting given the fact that, in the month of April, the federal government posted the largest budget surplus in five years. Furthermore, according to the Congressional Budget Office, current and projected deficits are expected to decline in coming years.
Even conservatives have recently acknowledged that deficit reduction is not the country's most pressing economic issue. House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI), agreeing with President Obama, stated that the country is not facing an immediate debt crisis, a notion shared by prominent Democrats. And John Makin, a scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, remarked that Congress has already enacted enough deficit reduction.
Meanwhile, economists have expressed concerns over media's focus on deficits, instead calling attention to resolving the very real immediate crisis of unemployment. Economist Jared Bernstein recently began a series on the path to full employment, and numerous other economists have advocated increased short-term spending to bolster economic growth and job creation.
Furthermore, former Labor Secretary Robert Reich has even pointed out that focusing on jobs and growth -- not spending cuts -- provides an effective avenue for deficit reduction.
Media outlets largely ignored economic inequality in discussions about the overall economy, despite mounting evidence suggesting that the problem has increased in recent years.
While media have been quick to highlight ostensibly positive gains for the economy -- notably that the Dow Jones Industrial reached 15,000 for the first time in its history, GDP grew by 2.5 percent in the first quarter of 2013, and unemployment for April edged down to 7.5 percent -- signs of rising income inequality have gone largely unmentioned.
According to a recent Media Matters analysis, economic coverage for the month of April barely mentioned issues of inequality. In 123 total segments discussing policy effects on the macroeconomy, only 12 touched upon the growing disparity in economic gains for the rich and the poor.
The discrepancy in covering economic inequality stretched across all major outlets. ABC, CBS, and NBC provided no mentions of the problem. MSNBC devoted the most coverage, with roughly 25 percent of segments on the economy discussing rising inequality.
While the media have pushed inequality out of the spotlight, mounting evidence suggests that the problem is getting worse.
As for the rising stock market, while any gains should be viewed as a positive for the economy as a whole, the distribution of those gains paints a less than perfect picture. According to a Gallup poll, 52 percent of Americans currently hold stocks, a number that has been consistently declining in recent years.
Other indicators highlight the deep-seated nature of economic inequality. According to Congressional Budget Office data, from 1979 to 2007 the top one percent of income earners have seen their after-tax share of total income rise by more than 120 percent, while the bottom 20 percent of earners have seen that share decline by almost 30 percent.
And according to an analysis by journalist David Cay Johnston, economic gains in recent history show an even darker reality - from 2009 to 2011, 149 percent of increased income was reaped by the top 10 percent of earners.
Meanwhile, the economy is currently suffering from an epidemic of long-term unemployed workers, which, as noted in a Bloomberg editorial, could create a permanent underclass of workers unable to reenter the labor force.
Some of the media's attention -- albeit very little -- has focused on the inequitable impact of sequestration on low-income individuals. The overwhelming majority of discussion of inequality in April, most notably on MSNBC, focused on Congress' unwillingness to mitigate the impacts of sequestration of the poor, while members were seemingly enthusiastic to correct inconveniences for those at the upper end of the income scale.
While some attention has been given to economic inequality, the broader trend in media is to ignore the issue, preferring instead to focus on the widely recognized non-issue of short-term deficit and debt reduction.
Evening news coverage throughout April touched upon several economic issues, including income inequality, deficit reduction, and entitlement cuts. A Media Matters analysis of this coverage reveals that many of these segments lacked proper context or necessary input from economists, while some networks ignored certain issues entirely.
ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl is helping to promote a dishonest narrative regarding why then-CIA director Gen. David Petraeus expressed disapproval for a set of talking points written in response to the September attacks on diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.
Karl's reporting on the issue has ignored the central reason Petraeus said that he didn't like the talking points: he thought they didn't do enough to connect the attacks to demonstrations in Cairo that were triggered by an anti-Islam video. Since right-wing media and Republicans in Congress have spent months accusing the Obama administration of politically-motivated lying for stating that there was a link between the attacks and the video, this point is crucial.
According to CBS News, in a September 15 email, Petraeus wrote that "he doesn't like the talking points and he would 'just assume they not use them... This is not what [Rep.] Ruppersberger asked for. We couldn't even mention the Cairo warning. But it's their call.'"
The "Cairo warning" Petraeus mentioned appears to refer to the following sentence that CBS News reported was added to the original talking points but subsequently removed:
On 10 September we warned of social media reports calling for a demonstration in front of the Embassy [in Cairo] and that jihadists were threatening to break into the Embassy."
As has been extensively reported, the September demonstrations in Cairo, Egypt, were part of a series of global riots and protests in Muslim countries that came in response to increasing awareness of the anti-Islam video. In the days and weeks following the attack, President Obama both referred to the attacks as an "act of terror" and offered criticism of that video for "spark[ing] outrage through the Muslim world."
It was not unreasonable for Petraeus and Obama to cite a link between the attacks and the video - according to the New York Times, the Benghazi attackers told bystanders that "that they were attacking the compound because they were angry about the video." In fact, the original set of talking points prepared by the CIA's Office of Terrorism Analysis stated that the attacks "were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo."
But in reporting on the same Petraeus email, Karl has left out Petraeus' stated reason for disliking the talking points and in one case allowed his interviewer to suggest that Petraeus actually opposed linking the attacks to the video.
Broadcast and cable Sunday political talk shows featured previously debunked myths about the September 11, 2012 attacks on diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.
ABC News is falsely suggesting there is a contradiction between the Obama administration removing references to terrorist groups in Libya from talking points about the September 11 attacks on diplomatic facilities in that country and pointing to President Obama's statements that those attacks were an "act of terror."
The original September 14 version of a set of talking points compiled by the CIA's Office of Terrorism Analysis stated that "Islamic extremists with ties to al Qa'ida participated in the attack," and specifically suggested the involvement of the group Ansar al Sharia. Those specifics were subsequently removed, with the final version of the talking points stating only that "extremists participated" in the attacks.
In closed congressional testimony following his resignation as CIA director, Gen. David Petraeus reportedly said that these specifics had been "removed from the public explanation of the attack immediately after the assault to avoiding alerting the militants that American intelligence and law enforcement agencies were tracking them." Administration officials have also said that there were other intelligence and legal concerns with naming the suspected perpetrators:
"The points were not, as has been insinuated by some, edited to minimize the role of extremists, diminish terrorist affiliations, or play down that this was an attack," said a senior official familiar with the drafting of the talking points. "There were legitimate intelligence and legal issues to consider, as is almost always the case when explaining classified assessments publicly."
Some intelligence analysts worried, for instance, that identifying the groups could reveal that American spy services were eavesdropping on the militants -- a fact most insurgents are already aware of. Justice Department lawyers expressed concern about jeopardizing the F.B.I.'s criminal inquiry in the attacks. Other officials voiced concern that making the names public, at least right away, would create a circular reporting loop and hamper efforts to trail the militants.
Indeed, ABC News has reported that in an email in response to the initial talking points, State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland "objected to naming the terrorist groups because 'we don't want to prejudice the investigation.'"
By contrast, in his September 12 and September 13 remarks, President Obama described the attacks as an "act of terror," but did not specify who the perpetrators of that act might be. Presumably such comments would not alert the perpetrators that they were being tracked or jeopardize the criminal probe in the same way that the naming of the specific group might.
Despite that clear distinction, ABC Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz and White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl both suggested that the White House is trying to "have it both ways."
At the height of the manufactured "Climategate" controversy, distortions of an email from a top climate scientist made it all the way to one of the leading Sunday shows. But a recent study re-confirms what that scientist was actually saying -- that much of recent heat has been trapped deep in the ocean.
In 2009, a batch of emails was stolen from the University of East Anglia. In one of the emails, which skeptics quickly took out of context, Kevin Trenberth, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, lamented the "travesty" that "we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment." Trenberth was actually referring to gaps in our "observing system" that make it difficult to say where short-term energy -- or heat -- is going, not copping to a lack of long-term climate change, as some claimed. In the email, Trenberth alluded to research suggesting that the "missing" heat might be sequestered deep in the ocean.
For some media, none of this mattered. In a November 2009 appearance on ABC's This Week, conservative columnist George Will suggested Trenberth's email showed that "global warming has stopped," and that since climate science is "a complicated business," we "shouldn't wager these trillions" on curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
But a recent study published in the journal Nature Climate Change found that the ocean has in fact played a "key role" in absorbing recent heat, which "strengthens our confidence in the robustness of our climate models." The findings echo the conclusions of a paper co-authored by Trenberth himself as well as findings published in the journal Physics Letters A in late 2012, all indicating that climate change continues apace.
Recent analyses by Media Matters show that the "Climategate" episode was typical of the way the influential Sunday shows favor political spin over scientific fact. On the rare occasion Sunday shows covered climate change between 2009 and 2012, not a single scientist or climate expert was part of the discussion. In addition, every politician who discussed climate change on the Sunday shows in 2012 was a Republican:
Examining trends more broadly, the Sunday shows have hosted more Republicans and conservatives than Democrats and progressives. In this environment, honest appraisals of science are rare, and commentators like George Will fit right in.
Broadcast and cable news networks have largely ignored a new report which concluded that the United States' rebuilding efforts in Iraq squandered billions of dollars due to widespread fraud, abuse, and waste.
Last week, Stuart Bowen, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, released a report concluding that of the $60 billion the U.S. has spent on reconstruction projects in Iraq following the 2003 invasion, at least $8 billion of it was "wasted."
In the five days since its release, only PBS and MSNBC have offered substantial coverage of the report.
NBC, ABC, and CBS have all ignored it during their evening newscasts (though it warranted passing mention on NBC's Today, the other networks' morning news programs also ignored the findings). Fox News' Bret Baier gave the story less than twenty seconds of coverage during Special Report.
CNN has completely ignored the report.
Though NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox News, and CNN have devoted a combined thirty five seconds to the story, PBS and MSNBC have each spent more than ten minutes discussing the report and its conclusions.
Media ignored economists in their reports leading up to the initiation of the economically damaging across-the-board spending cuts commonly known as sequestration.
If Congress fails to act by midnight, across-the-board spending cuts of up to $85 billion in 2013 alone will take effect. While sequestration is inherently an economic issue, media are ignoring the last chance to have economists weigh in on the consequences.
Media Matters reviewed news coverage leading up to the sequestration deadline, specifically the February 28 evening news broadcasts; March 1 reports from The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times; and the March 1 morning news programs on the major cable and broadcast networks. We found that economists have been almost completely shut out. Of 122 total guests and quoted figures appearing in a total of 43 articles or television segments, one lone economist was mentioned, Wells Fargo senior economist Mark Vitner in a report from the Journal.
From the January 9 edition of MSNBC's NOW with Alex Wagner:
Loading the player reg...
A Media Matters analysis finds that news coverage of climate change on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX remained low in 2012 despite record temperatures and a series of extreme weather events in the U.S. When the Sunday shows did discuss climate change, scientists were shut out of the debate while Republican politicians were given a platform to question the science.
Most cable news and major news networks were silent on the expiration of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and House Republicans' failure to reauthorize the law for the first time since 1994. However, MSNBC provided its viewers with extensive coverage of reauthorization, repeatedly warning that the law was set to expire if Congress did not act and exposing the GOP's obstructionism.
After the Senate voted 68-31 to approve the bipartisan VAWA in April, 2012, the bill was sent to the House where Republicans allowed the act to expire. House Republicans reportedly blocked the reauthorization due to objections over the law's expanded provisions to protect Native American women, undocumented immigrants, and LGBT victims of domestic violence. House Republicans later proposed their own version of the bill that stripped the Senate's added protections.
Media Matters looked at the month leading up to the expiration of the VAWA and found that both Fox News and CNN failed to cover the need to reauthorize the act, while MSNBC informed its viewers of the law's status. A search on Nexis for segments referring to the Violence Against Women Act on Fox News and CNN between December 1, 2012 and January 2 found only one mention between the two networks. In comparison, a search of MSNBC transcripts turned up ten references to the expiring VAWA and House Republicans' efforts to block the reauthorization along with another two brief mentions of the law in broad discussion.
In fact, during the December 16, 2012 edition of MSNBC's Up with Chris Hayes, host Chris Hayes devoted two segments to the importance of House Republicans' refusal to approve the law. The panel noted the danger that the GOP's obstructionism posed to women victims of domestic violence across the country.

Are you ready for our weekend adventures (part 2)?! Me too but first I want to tell you that I got a part-time job here. Mostly because my husband was pushing me too, but also because it will be a great way to make some friends, have something to do, and make a little extra cash. I am only going to be working 2 to 3 five hour shifts during the week, and that is just plenty for me. I don't like leaving Bella home ALL day for over 8 hours so this will be just great. Now let's just hope that I don't HATE it! Also, we drove up to south Denver last night to meet one of Husband's college buddies/best friends who was in town for work. We had THEMOSTDELICIOUSUSHI ever. And that is saying something because I have had more then my share of sushi in a handful of states. Husband's friend, Pecos Bill (I decided to call him that since he is from Texas and his name is Billy) ordered a caterpillar roll and when it came out it was topped with avocado that had been sliced up and it really looked like a REAL caterpillar. It even had antennas. My husband took a picture with his phone so as soon as I get it, I am going to show you guys. It was crazy. We also ordered plum sake, which was really good, and little too strong. We didn't get our food for about 40 minutes and were sipping on the sake and at one point all of us were blinking and slightly swaying and had to switch to water. Who knew that stuff was so potent?!
Anyways, back to our adventures at the Manitou Cliff Dwellings.... we came here directly from Seven Falls because it was fairly close. These dwellings are apparently from around 1800. The Pueblo, or Anasazi Indians were known to be a community of farmer's and lived on the land until violent/warring tribes entered the area, which is when archaeologists predict they moved into the cliffs for protection. Eventually the had to abandon their homes due to a drought in the area.
No. No. No. Nooo. No. No. Nooo. |

Dr. Rajiv Shah serves as the 16th Administrator of USAID and leads the efforts of more than 9,600 professionals in 80 missions around the world.
Since being sworn in on Dec. 31, 2009, Shah managed the U.S. Government's response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; co-chaired the State Department's first review of American diplomacy and development operations; and now spearheads President Barack Obama's landmark Feed the Future food security initiative. He is also leading "USAID Forward," an extensive set of reforms to USAID's business model focusing on seven key areas, including procurement, science & technology, and monitoring & evaluation.
Before becoming USAID's Administrator, Shah served as undersecretary for research, education and economics, and as chief scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At USDA, he launched the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, which significantly elevated the status and funding of agricultural research.
Prior to joining the Obama administration, Shah served for seven years with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, including as director of agricultural development in the Global Development Program, and as director of strategic opportunities.
Originally from Detroit, Shah earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and his master's in health economics from the Wharton School of Business. He attended the London School of Economics and is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
Shah is married to Shivam Mallick Shah and is the father of three children. He lives in Washington, D.C.
Good afternoon
Thank you to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and to His Excellency Mahboub Maalim for hosting us today in Addis Ababa and to the IGAD team for organizing this today. It is a sincere pleasure to be back with you again this week under more hopeful circumstances to take stock of just how far we've come.
We all know that the commitments made last year are not easy, and fundamentally, they require a game-changing shift in how we manage risk and address chronic vulnerability in the region. Yet, although our tasks are daunting at times, through IGAD's leadership and the work of the Global Alliance, we have made tremendous strides toward a regional approach for building resilience. The U.S. government is proud to see real results for the people of the region, including the development of Country Program Papers (CPPs) that put plans and structures in place to combat vulnerability and build resilience. USAID is firmly committed to supporting regional and country leadership and collaboration among international development partners in support of the resilience agenda. And, we're also committed to doing business differently – to maximize the effectiveness of this support for the people of the Horn of Africa. Last December, USAID launched its first-ever policy and program guidance on resilience, formalizing key operational changes to better enable our teams to support country-led plans and partner with local leaders to reach these vital goals. This new guidance, "Building Resilience to Recurrent Crisis," commits USAID to putting more of its development focus on the most vulnerable, building the adaptive capacity of these populations, and improving the ability of communities, countries, and systems to manage risk.
In 2012, the National Intelligence Council (NIC) of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released an assessment of "Global Water Security." The report projected that between now and 2040, fresh water availability will not keep up with demand absent more effective management of water resources. It also noted that water problems will hinder the ability of key countries to produce food and generate energy, posing a risk to global food markets and hobbling economic growth. The report noted that while wars over water are unlikely within the next 10 years, water challenges – shortages, poor water quality, and floods – will likely increase the risk of instability and state failure, exacerbating regional tensions. In addressing such challenges, water can provide a platform for building trust and cooperation between countries. Water user groups, and increased transparency and accountability between the people and service providers, can both increase access and advance democratic values. While history is not necessarily a good predictor of our future, it's true that more often than not, water is a source of cooperation rather than conflict.
Since 2007, the United States has supported Somalia and its neighbors, first Uganda and Burundi, then Kenya and Djibouti, as Somali and AMISOM forces' efforts to drive al-Shabaab out of Somalia's cities and towns. Throughout this time, the Somali people endured the unendurable—violence, fear, hunger, disease. But they also came together to build something—a new foundation that would anchor a stable future for Somalia.
As we reflect on what we have achieved and bring new ideas to the challenges still ahead, it's important to remember that due to our collective follow-through on the commitments we made last year, to a fast and resolute humanitarian response and to help build resilience in the Sahel, we prevented a tragic situation from becoming much worse.
The United States continues to work through all possible channels to most effectively deliver aid. This includes working through the UN, NGO partners, local Syrian organizations and committees. Regardless of political affiliation, we are directing assistance to the most vulnerable people, and we are doing this in coordination with the Syrian Opposition Coalition.
When President Obama selected Raj Shah to be the leader of this organization, I knew instantly he'd picked somebody who understood this mission, who understood we also need to change a little bit, that we need to understand that we have to account clearly to our citizens in a time of tough budgets for all of the dollars we're spending in a very transparent and thorough way. We want to do that. But it also requires us to think creatively, sometimes out of the box, about how we may be able to deliver some of this in 21st century terms in ways that augment, multiply, when we don't have the same amount of resources we've had previously, but multiply the efforts in their return on that investment by creating greater investment opportunities, more jobs, building the economies. I think there are a lot of things that we can think about creatively together to help make that happen, and I'm convinced Raj Shah understands that, and I'm looking forward to working with him over these next years to help make that happen. We're going to get this job done.
At the Washington Call to Action, you announced that India will remain in the forefront of the global efforts against child mortality, acknowledging India's potential to greatly reduce preventable child deaths. Today's summit proves the commitment of India's leaders to both the global community and the children of India. The U.S. Government is proud to be a part of this initiative, and we look forward to working with the Government of India on addressing critical child survival issues.
USAID is proud to be part of this new Commercial Farm Services Program, one of many projects we have here in Ethiopia that form part of the U.S. President's Feed the Future Initiative. I am very pleased to see this group here today working together to achieve our common goals: to provide smallholder farmers with the tools that enable them to earn a decent livelihood and contribute to the development of their country.
I am pleased to represent the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the American people today at the 2nd Annual Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) - Cooperatives Forum, supported by USAID's Agribusiness and Market Development (AMDe) project.

Maybe you've seen the new stock market terms making the e-mail rounds and on some Internet sites intended as comic relief:
Whether these make you laugh or cry, scary headlines, dwindling retirement funds, job insecurity and the inability to pay the bills are stressing people to the max.
Stress Affects Health
Stress is your body's natural reaction to any kind of demand that disrupts life as usual, according to the American Psychological Association (APA).
Occasional stress can temporarily speed up your heart rate and might raise your blood pressure. But as long as you get your stress under control, there's no damage. It's long-term or chronic stress, however, that doctors worry about. Common symptoms include:
Also, getting pregnant may be more difficult.
In addition, chronic stress can make health problems you already have worse:
Strength in Numbers
You have plenty of company if you're feeling stressed by the recent economic upheaval. The APA's 2008 Stress in America survey –released this month — found that 8 out of 10 Americans say that the economy is a significant cause of stress.
Staying Well During Difficult Times
It's challenging to stay calm and positive when your financial security feels threatened, you don't feel in control, fear of the unknown is gripping you, and you've lost trust in financial institutions. But here are some tips for successful coping and for taking care of your health.

Weekend Bookworm: Strange Shores
13 December 2013 , 10:33 AM by Rob Minshull | Comments (0)
Strange Shores by Arnaldur Indridason
As most people know from their crime fiction novels or TV police procedurals, a cold case is a crime that was never solved and is usually no longer the subject of a criminal investigation. Named as it is, you would think that in Iceland the country would be full of them!
Like Yrsa Siguroardottir, his fellow Icelandic crime writer, Arnaldur Indridason has a keen sense of history and cold cases are the focus of many of his novels. Thematically at least, Strange Shores is no different from earlier Indridason novels in that the morose Detective Erlendur finds himself embroiled in the story of a young woman who disappeared in a snowstorm way back in 1942.
In fact, Detective Erlendur, as one critic recently put it, "over the course of an affecting and addictive series of eleven novels has spent almost as much time lamenting modern Iceland's disconnection from its heritage as he has solving murders."
In the previous novel, Hypothermia, Erlendur was involved in a case which stirred up memories of his younger brother's death. With Strange Shores, haunted by the tragedy of his losing his brother in a snowstorm, Erlendur returns to his childhood home in the remote east of the country to search for answers. It isn't long, however, before the story of the disappearance of the young woman 60 years earlier captures his imagination and stokes a determination to solve the case.
"He was in possession of knowledge that he could never forget, and it was natural that he should at least look for explanation. It was not his aim to punish or to fill the prisons with unfortunate souls. His sole intention was to uncover the truth in every case, to track down what was lost and forgotten."
All that is left of Matthildur, the young woman who disappeared, are a series of rumours, lies and folk tales. What Erlendur uncovers is a story of betrayal and revenge. Matthildur was murdered in a crime of passion and her killer "had arranged it so that the person he believed bore all the blame would never experience another day of happiness."
In a remote part of Iceland, divided and being transformed by a rush of industrialisation, Erlendur faces a dilemma: as the past begins to surrender its secrets, should he let sleeping dogs lie or reveal the truth and renew the pain and anguish of those who once loved the victim?
In these days when there appears to be a glut of Nordic crime fiction writers, Arnaldur Indridason stands up there along with the very best. Strange Shores might not be the best introduction the Detective Erlendur series - Jar City was the first of Indridason's novels to be translated into English and is undoubtedly the best place to begin if you want to savour one of Scandinavia's most sophisticated writers - but this latest novel is superb. A beautiful sense of place, poignant prose, depth of character, and police procedural at its purest, Arnaldur Indridason has written another beauty.

MRSA Survey Seeks Trends, Tactics in Infection Control
How big of a threat is MRSA to hospital infection control?
That's one question that APIC, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, hopes to answer with its survey of healthcare facilities, the first attempted since 2006.
"This is absolutely critical information to know, not just for the facilities themselves, but from an overall health perspective," says APIC CEO Kathy Warye. She says that the organization is asking all healthcare facilities to participate to gather as much information as possible.
The deadline for participation is Aug. 1.
MRSA, or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, causes an estimated 19,000 deaths a year in the United States. One patient's care adds more than $60,000 to healthcare costs.
The new survey, launched with Institutional Review Board approvals, attempts to update knowledge about MRSA in healthcare settings since the 2006 survey, and to provide answers about the following aspects of the potentially infectious bacteria .
1. In 2006, APIC's national survey of about 1,200 acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities showed that 46 out of every 1,000 inpatients were either infected or colonized with MRSA, which was a far higher rate than previous estimates. "We want to know if this number has gone up or down," Warye says.
2. How many of those inpatients acquired their infections in the community and how many acquired it from strains transmitted within the healthcare setting?
3. What are hospitals doing to prevent MRSA infections? Are they concentrating efforts in high-risk areas such as intensive care units, or branching out throughout the hospital? In which types of hospitals might more aggressive measures be useful? Warye says that in the recession, many hospitals have cut back their infection control efforts, and it's important to determine what may have been sacrificed.
4. How are hospitals screening patients for infection with community- acquired strains of MRSA when they come in to the facilities? Are just patients who are headed for surgery being tested or other patients as well?
5. How have efforts to control MRSA affected the infection or colonization rates of MRSA bacteria?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has not yet begun to penalize hospitals with high MRSA infection rates by reducing reimbursement. "But as the science evolves, and we discover how to prevent more of these infections, we think that yes, CMS will want to encourage strong performance and discourage poor performance in infection control," Warye says.
She adds that the survey should provide the "most up-to-date understanding of the prevalence of MRSA in U.S. healthcare facilities and whether prevention efforts have been effective since our original survey."
She says the survey results will not identify hospitals that participate in the survey, but may indicate trends for MRSA incidence and control on a state-by-state basis. To get the most accurate picture possible, she says, "We're hoping every hospital in the country will participate."
APIC, based in Washington DC, has more than 13,000 members who direct infection control programs for hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
Cheryl Clark is senior quality editor and California correspondent for HealthLeaders Media. She is a member of the Association of Health Care Journalists.

Shefsky & Froelich's litigation practice entails full-service representation of public and private companies, municipalities and governmental bodies, and individuals, on a local, national, and international scale. Our litigators are experienced trial attorneys who possess broad experience, representing both large and small firms and individuals in virtually all types of litigation matters and in virtually all areas of industry and commerce. Trained to approach lawsuits from a business perspective, our litigators handle disputes cost-effectively and with a clear understanding of the client's business objectives.
In today's business environment, very few legal disputes are one-dimensional or routine. Most problems are multifaceted, cutting across a spectrum of legal disciplines. The handling of a case will frequently involve a blend of corporate, securities, contract, tax, government regulation, intellectual property, or other legal considerations in addition to expertise in trial and litigation tactics. Shefsky & Froelich has specialists in most major areas of practice, and can quickly assemble a top-quality team of individuals experienced in the task at hand. The team will work closely with our clients to develop and implement a litigation strategy to meet the client's business needs.
Too often litigation expenses represent a "black hole" in budgetary planning. If not carefully managed, litigation costs quickly spiral out of control. Shefsky & Froelich is sensitive to the pricing structure and margin constraints facing parties in litigation. First, we work closely with our clients to constrain litigation expenses by establishing appropriate budgets up front with the client. Second, we assign attorneys who are familiar with the subject matter of the dispute, to avoid "going to school" at the client's expense. Third, we limit staffing to the attorneys whose input is essential. We also maintain constant communication with clients concerning the cost implications of various strategies.
Our litigators bring experienced, talented professionalism to the handling of business disputes. We are prepared to aggressively try cases to verdict, where necessary. Often, however, alternatives may provide a more cost-effective solution to solving a problem, such as mediation and other dispute alternative resolution techniques. Our litigators have represented clients and acted as mediators and arbitrators in all forms of alternative dispute resolution forums.

The Fire was on fire this season.
The Stoney Point Fire soccer team finished its season undefeated, beating the Kiwanis Blue Devils at Arnette Park last month to win the county championship.
"They were just a real great group of kids," said coach Sam Johnson. "The parents were extremely supportive."
The Fire consists of 11- and 12-year-olds, both new and returning players. For the regular season, the team went 6-0, then compiled a 4-0 record in the playoffs.
Johnson credited hard work and determination on the part of the players for the stellar season.
"It was their willingness to listen and be coached and play as a team," Johnson said. "We had worked hard and played a lot of close games throughout the season."
The championship game was a squeaker. The Fire defeated the Blue Devils 3-2 on a goal late in the game.
Assistant coach Darrell Hayden said the Fire was up 2-1 through most of the game. The Blue Devils then tied it up.
"Whoever scored the next goal in the fourth period would have probably won the game and we scored," Hayden said.
Hayden credited the team's defense with stopping a Blue Devils drive to tie the game late in the fourth quarter.
"Our defense stepped up," he said. "Everybody did what they were supposed to do."
Hayden said the team's undefeated season was a result of "coaching and practice.
"Those kids put a lot of practice in," Hayden said. "It was coach Sam's work ethic and those kids' commitment, that was amazing."
Ty Belletete played center forward with the Fire. He went to a soccer championship a few years ago, but this is the first time his team has won it all.
"Everyone played good this year and worked hard," he said.
The John Griffin Middle School seventh-grader said the championship game was a tough one.
"It was very difficult because they were a competitive team," Ty said. "It was very challenging."
Jaylin Covington, 11, played forward on the team. He scored the winning goal.
"It was an exciting moment," Jaylin said. "I just felt surprised and excited." Jaylin credited "teamwork and participation" for the team's undefeated season.
Hayden said winning the championship game was cause for celebration for both the players and the coaching staff.
Of course, in a 10-0 season, they had plenty of opportunities for celebration.
"They hadn't lost all year," Hayden said. "So I don't know what they be like if they lost."

When I first started playing guitar all I wanted to do was learn barre chords. That's it. After that I'd be able to play all of the Blink songs I wanted and then just relax or move on to something else (quite frankly I didn't think there was music beyond Enema of the State).
But as it turns out, once I learned barre chords I wanted more. I wanted to actually sound like the recordings and not some haggard resemblance. And then, thankfully, I got into other music and wanted to solo like Duane Allman and Eddie Hazel, and then I wanted to write songs like Brad Nowell and play jazz like Wes Montgomery.
And now I have new problems, like channeling whatever talents I have into a consistent deliverable so I can play in public with or without a band.
The point is that I was never finished, I'm still not finished, and never will be finished. The finish line kept getting pushed back further and further until it disappeared altogether and then I realized, perhaps later than most, that there is no finish line.
So if you're never finished with something how in the hell do you measure progress?
For certain endeavors there are metrics you can and should use and sometimes you can just tell.
But a helpful, basic way to measure progress – good, life progress – is by paying attention to the frequency with which you're facing new problems.
For guitar that means getting past skill issues like developing hand strength, proper picking technique (by far the most important), and an effective vibrato and bend. Then you need to study music theory, practice scales and improvisation, learn about equipment, sound, and setup, play while singing and on and on and on. The problems – or maybe "challenges" is a better way to think about them – never end.
If that sounds like an existential nightmare then I suggest you get over it. Because that's life – it'd be easy and boring and not worth your time if it was any different
In terms of startups you can think of it this way:
- Just linked up with a brilliant co-founder? Great. New problem.
- Comfortable that you have a market? Awesome, now here's a new problem.
- Finished your product and ready to launch? Wonderful, now get a shit-ton of users and iterate like crazy (new problem!).
- Raised a $1.2 million in series A? Congratulations! What's your prize you ask? (Bob Barker voice): Whhhy it's a BRAND NEW PROBLEM!
The other day I was reading up on the biographies of guys like Jim Breyer and Mike Moritz and Yuri Milner – basically masters-of-the-universe level dudes – and it struck me: as disgustingly accomplished as these guys are they still have real problems that they face day in and day out.
What's the best use of their immense wealth and influence? How do they keep motivated and driven and grounded in the face of massive success? How do they carve out meaningful personal lives when everyone is trying to suckle at the teet of power?
Marlo Stanfield from The Wire would call these "good problems" and I wholeheartedly agree. But they're problems nonetheless.
Or think about Adam Sandler's character in Funny People. Same kind've of thing.
My point is that new problems are generally a good thing – they mean you're growing and stretching and improving. You're taking risks and rising to challenges.
Consider, on the other hand, old problems. If your job, after several years, is still an issue (in the sense that you hate it) then you need to do something about it. Same goes for relationships and personal shortcomings. Old, enduring problems – in my experience at least – are surefire indicators of an atrophy in your abilities and character. And they're constraining your potential.
So go out there a get some new goddamn problems. They'll be better than your old ones.

Liberal politicians, such as billionaires like Bloomberg who has armed guards, and media spokesholes are already blaming conservatives for the tragedy. That, in itself, is dispicable.
Guaranteed, this will present just one more chance for divisiveness from the left that will be embraced by the main-stream media.
I've already seen more crap from the MSM regarding this shooting than I've seen in totality about the Fort Hood terrorist attack.

I am using Bulk Rename Command triggered from a batch file to rename files according to their folder name. It works fine with folder names A1, A2, A3 etc, and with A11, A12. But, when I try and rename a file using folder name A10, it renames the folder A1.
Here is my command line input:
C:\BRC\BRC32.EXE /DIR:%1 /PATTERN:"*488*.tif" /RECURSIVE /APPENDFOLDER:P:_:1 /REMOVECHARS:" - n000000" /EXECUTE
%1 is the folder name input from another file (VBScript). I want to rename all .tif files with 488 in the title from all subfolders removing the end part (" - n000000") and appending the folder name. As I say, it works for all folders except those with 0 at the end.
Any help/workaround would be much appreciated,
