1. Because a woman brought into this world will inevitably be given pepper spray "just in case."
2. Because by sixteen, a young girl knows how to avoid being sexually assaulted, while a boy of the same age does not fear sexual assault in the slightest.
3. Because a girl who mocks men is a bitch, and a boy who mocks women is joking.
4. Because a girl who has sex is a slut, and a boy who has sex is a man.
5. Because in a murder, the killer is at fault, but the blame of rape is often put on the victim.
6. Because we teach girls how not to get raped instead of teaching anyone simply not to rape.
7. Because a woman should put more clothes on if her outfit makes a man uncomfortable, because his self control is her responsibility.
8. Because feminists just need to chill out.
9. Because a 22 year old sex-obsessed virgin can murder 7 people, and the problem is that someone should've just slept with him.
10. Because not all men are predators, but yes, all women are prey.

Hi Lee! Your feature is great-- and I've been following your blog for a while now, but it didn't occur to me until I saw all of those quilts in succession that so many of your quilts have been my very favorites-- in particular, your single girl, the kissy fish, and the lattice quilt made with FFA2. I am tempted to copy your design and/or color choice on all of those!ReplyDelete
I am not surprised one bit ;0)ReplyDelete

Trademarks and incorporations drive strong increase in innovative economic activity in Michigan during the first quarter of 2010, according to UM-Dearborn study
August 30, 2010
DEARBORN / Aug. 30, 2010---An increase in trademark applications and incorporations helped drive innovative economic activity in Michigan during the first quarter of 2010, according to the innovation index compiled by scholars at the University of Michigan-Dearborn College of Business.
The index rose to 89.0 from 83.3 in the fourth quarter of 2009, putting the index above its year-ago level of 80.0 and at its highest point since the third quarter of 2008 before the worst of the credit crunch.
The quarterly rebound, which came despite disappointing job creation news, was due to a reversal of the earlier decline in trademark applications combined with increases in incorporations and Small Business Administration loans, according to Lee Redding, associate professor of business economics and director of the Innovation Index at the College of Business.
The quarterly index, a project of UM-Dearborns Center for Innovation Research, or iLabs, provides a summary measure of economic innovation activity in the state of Michigan. The index tracks economic innovation in Michigan based on calculations of employment of innovation workers, trends in venture capital, trademark applications, incorporation activity, small business loans and gross job creation. Four components of the index rose during the quarter while two declined.
Looking ahead, it appears that the next report will show second quarter innovative activity relatively similar to the first quarter, Redding said.
The number of trademarks applied for in the state showed an increase in the first quarter, reversing a sharp fourth quarter drop. The increase put the number of applications above year-ago levels and added 4.8 points to the index for the quarter, Redding said.
The number of incorporation filings increased strongly in the first quarter, adding 2.4 points to the index. Although a seasonal component often pushes up incorporations in the first quarter, the number also is higher than its year-ago level, Redding said.
The number of small business loans rebounded in the first quarter. Aided by the stimulus plan, the number of loans reached its highest level since 2008 and added 1.6 points to the index in the first quarter.
Employment of innovation workers continued a rebound in the fraction of Michigan workers employed in science and engineering, adding 0.4 points to the index in the quarter.
The reported number of new jobs created by new companies or companies adding jobs fell to approximately 212,000 during the fourth quarter of 2009, erasing most of the gains from the previous quarter and reducing 3.0 points from the index. (Due to data availability, this item enters the index calculation one quarter late.)
Venture capital activity in the state continued a drop from the previous quarter and hit the lowest level since 2007, costing the index 0.5 points, according to Redding.
The Innovation Index for the second quarter of 2010, with a preliminary estimate for the third quarter of 2010, will be released in November.
Redding collaborates on the project with economist Anne-Louise Statt.

Top colleges for producing graduates who make the world a better place
By Catherine Rampell for The Washington Post
PayScale, which collects self-reported salary information, has just come out with updated data on median salaries earned by graduates of hundreds of colleges. But to those who worry that reducing the value of a college education to financial returns, you might be interested in another question PayScale asked respondents: "Does your work make the world a better place?" The answer choices were "Very much so," "Yes," "A little," "No," and "My job may make the world a worse place."
Here are the 10 colleges whose grads were most likely to say "very much so" or "yes" (which PayScales categorizes as people with "high job meaning"):

Balancing daily protein intake across meals increases muscle protein
Dr. Paddon-Jones
In a new paper published in the Journal of Nutrition, researchers asked a simple question, assuming that a total of 90 grams per day would be best: Would human subjects make more muscle protein if their optimal intake was evenly split across the three meals when compared with typical protein intake patterns skewed toward a protein-heavy dinner? The study was conducted with a group of five men and three women between ages 25 and 55. The subjects were physically active, but not athletically trained, averaging 32 percent body fat and with an average body mass index in the normal range. The research team was led by Douglas Paddon-Jones at UTMB and Donald K. Layman at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Paddon-Jones and colleague, Blake Rasmussen, originally proposed in 2009 that the even ingestion of protein at each meal could reduce aging-related sarcopenia, the progressive 3 to 8 percent loss of muscle that we inevitably face with each decade after age 30. This is the first study testing that hypothesis in young and middle-aged adults.

Respiratory therapists help patients breathe easy
By Rebecca Maitland at Houston Chronicle
Respiratory therapists are an important part of the team in hospitals, nursing care facilities, or in home health, as they keep patients alive when they are recovering from serious surgery and until such point that they can breathe on their own.
Respiratory therapy is a health care specialty focusing on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, management and rehabilitation of patients with breathing or other cardiopulmonary disorders.
Respiratory therapists also provide emergency care to patients suffering from heart attacks, near-drowning or shock.
These professionals are an important part of the team in hospitals, nursing care facilities, or in home health, as they keep patients alive when they are recovering from serious surgery and until such point that they can breathe on their own.
"Without respiratory therapists, patients recovering from open heart surgery, premature infants with poorly developed lungs, ER patients momentarily surviving accidents, severe asthmatics, and senior citizens with life-threatening pneumonia or flu would not survive to benefit from their pharmacological treatment," said Jon Nilsestuen, PhD, RRT, FAARC, professor and chairman, department of respiratory care, School of Health Professions, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
A Visit with Dr. Douglas Paddon-Jones
by Jim and Lynda Guidry at GuidryNews.com, May 27, 2014
Guidry News Service recently visited with Dr. Douglas Paddon-Jones, leader of a team of researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, who last week announced their finding that a full serving of protein is needed at each meal for maximum muscle health.
The new study, which has been published online in the Journal of Nutrition, contends that the potential for muscle growth is less than optimal when protein consumption is skewed toward the evening meal instead of being evenly distributed throughout the day, beginning at breakfast.
"If you look at American eating patterns, we tend to migrate towards the carbohydrate breakfast foods," Dr. Paddon-Jones said, listing cereals, breads and muffins. "Where's the protein?"

Traumatic brain injuries on the rise
Galveston County Daily News, May 20, 2014
By Elizabeth Protas
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of brain injuries treated in emergency departments.
A recent study analyzing data from more than 950 hospitals across the country found there were 2.5 million emergency room visits for traumatic brain injuries in 2010 - a 29 percent increase from 2006. During that same period, overall emergency room visits increased only 3.6 percent.
Concussions and injuries to the head account for most of these visits, and most patients experience relatively mild injuries and are discharged to their homes.
But others experience more severe injuries, possibly permanent disability and death. Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of death in children and young adults, especially men ages 15 to 24 and the elderly older than the age of 75.
The injuries in young people are mainly from car accidents, while the elderly injure their heads because of falls. Many of our servicemen and women are experiencing traumatic brain injuries from blast and concussive injuries. More than 5 million Americans have had a traumatic brain injury that results in the need for help in performing daily activities - that's equivalent to the population of the Greater Houston Area.
Congratulations to Dr. Henry J. Cavazos...40 Years!
A Vist with Dr. Timothy Reistetter
by by Jim and Lynda Guidry at GuidryNews.com, May 5, 2014
Guidry News Service recently visited with Dr. Timothy Reistetter, an associate professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, who is the lead author on research which found that rehabilitation outcomes for people who have had a stroke vary greatly depending on where they live in the United States.
The study was recently published in the journal Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
"Regional variations are a pretty common and popular issue right now in health care reform," Dr. Reistetter said, noting that May is National Stroke Awareness Month.
The researchers studied Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services records from 143,036 patients discharged from inpatient rehabilitation during 2006 and 2007. Research focused on length of stay, functional status (discharge motor and cognitive status, overall functional change) and the percentage of patients discharged to the community.

Soy, dairy proteins for muscle building - Protein shake users should take note of a study conducted at UTMB
KPRC-TV (Ch. 2, Houston), April 25, 2014
Protein shake users should take note of a study conducted at UTMB and published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. Results from lead researcher Blake B. Rasmussen's study show that consuming a blend of soy and dairy proteins (both casein and whey) is optimal for building muscle mass.
"This study sheds new light on how unique combinations of proteins, as opposed to single protein sources, are important for muscle recovery following exercise and help extend amino acid availability, further promoting muscle growth," said Rasmussen.
The news appears widely throughout the nation, appearing in Prevention, Medical News Today, BioNews Texas, Nature World News and ScienceDaily, among other outlets.
12,000 Patient Rehab Study Results Announced
RRY Publications Orthopedic, by Biloine W. Young, April 22nd, 2014
Advanced rehab after knee replacement surgery provides long-term benefits to those who receive it, according to a study conducted by Kenneth Ottenbacher, Ph.D., OTR, director of the Center for Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas.
The research team examined data from 12,199 men and women who had knee and hip replacements between 2008 and 2010. All of the research subjects were living independently prior to the surgery and underwent rehab as inpatients. Most of the participants were female. Their average age was 71.
The investigators looked at the patient's ability to function when they were admitted for surgery, when they were discharged and three to six months after they left the rehab facility. The measurement included how well individuals could bathe, eat, climb stairs and the condition of their memory. Researchers scored the results on a scale of 1 to 7. The higher numbers indicated higher functioning. The results showed that when participants went into surgery their ability to move around scored an average of 1.6. This improved to 4.2 after their discharge from the hospital and rose to 5.6 in the months following rehab.
"If you can get patients to a certain threshold level, they can do the rest of the rehabilitation on their own," Ottenbacher said. "In a sense, these patients become their own physical therapists."
The study was published in the Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics. It did not deal with the impact of rehab several years following surgery when patients may settle back into patterns established before their joint replacement. Findings presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons annual meeting predicted that first-time knee replacements will rise 673% by 2030 to 3.5 million. Hip replacements will increase 174% in the same time period.

You're probably sitting down while reading this editorial. Did you grab a coffee, pull up a chair and open the newspaper (or go online)? That's what I do. I get up early, exercise, prepare breakfast and then sit down to catch up on the daily news. Then I drive to work, sit at my desk, drive home . . . can you see a familiar pattern?
My research program at the University of Texas Medical Branch promotes health and seeks to understand how and why individuals lose muscle and strength when they are physically inactive (e.g., injured, ill or placed on bed rest).

A visit with Dr. James Graham
by Jim and Lynda Guidry Wednesday, February 12, 2014
Guidry News Service recently visited with Dr. James Graham, a member of a University of Texas Medical Branch research team that determined that nearly 12 percent of Medicare patients who receive inpatient rehabilitation following discharge from acute-care hospitalization are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days after discharge from the rehabilitation facility.
Listen (11:00)
"Dr. Ken Ottenbacher is the lead on this and he recently got an RO1 (research project grant) to look at readmission rates after post-acute care for patients in in-patient rehab," Dr. Graham explained. "When you look at the Affordable Care Act and some of the changes in health care over the past 10 years or so, post-acute care has kind of been second page news as far as the Medicare and the providers are concerned. But, recently with the growth of the cost, post-acute care proportionately would outpace all other care, for Medicare at least."
Graham said the research addresses a timely issue.
UTMB study examines hospital readmission rates after inpatient rehabilitation
Findings may represent targets for intervention, cost savings
GALVESTON, Texas - Nearly 12 percent of Medicare patients who receive inpatient rehabilitation following discharge from acute-care hospitalization are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days after discharge from the rehabilitation facility according to new research published in the Feb. 12 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Before now, there was a lack of research on the frequency and causes of patients returning to hospital after rehabilitation.
The new research reports 30-day hospital readmission rates across rehabilitation impairment categories and examines whether readmissions are associated with patient socio-demographics, clinical characteristics, functional status or facility factors. The authors say this type of data is important because Medicare is in the process of developing new payment models associated with health care reform.
"Currently, Medicare spends $20 billion each year on readmissions of hospitalized older adults," said lead author Kenneth Ottenbacher of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. "The data uncovered in this study is crucial in order to effectively develop new health reimbursement systems that bundle acute and post-acute care to improve quality and contain costs."

Demand for medical occupations in area expected to rise
-Houston Chronicle, Feb. 3, 2014
One of the top 10 occupations in highest demand is physical therapist, with a median salary of $76,310.
Houston's population explosion, along with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the presence of the Texas Medical Center, a large cohort of aging baby boomers, and an aging workforce are impacting growth as well as demand for more people in health care. San Jacinto College is working on a new program with UTMB that reflects the growing demand for trained medical professionals. UTMB is looking to begin a physical therapy assistant-to-doctorate of physical therapy program, and we'll be providing a pipeline of students into that program," said the San Jacinto College dean of natural sciences and health sciences. "We're excited about offering students the opportunity to go from an associate degree directly to earning their doctorate, which is now required of all new physical therapists."

I took it to my local Martin dealer and he has installed Winners choice strings and cables, a spott hogg 7dp sight, a trophy taker shakey hunter arrow rest, and a Doinker stablizer. I also bought Easton redline arrows fletched in the 2.5 in vanes. We could not get the bow to paper turn correctly- it tears significantly to the right. The dealer tried several adjustments which did not help. We decided to shoot the bow for a week and try again. When shooting at 30 yds you can definitely tell the arrows are wobbling. My only visual problem I can see is how the dropaway cord attatches to the inside cable. I would appreciate any issues others have found in tuning this kind of setup.

Federal Drive Interviews -- Feb. 25, 2013
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is concerned new regulations may make whistleblowers even more reluctant to report tax fraud to the IRS. OMB Controller Danny Werfel says $85 billion in cuts under sequestration would hurt every state. Maj. Gen. Brett Williams says the U.S. Cyber Command is trying to figure how to normalize operations alongside air, land and sea capabilities. Lynn Singleton, director of environmental services at Lockheed Martin, talks about helping agencies move their email to the cloud. Dr. Milton Corn explains why The National Library of Medicine is monitoring social media.

On the face of it, an artist and a theoretical physicist might seem an unlikely pairing. But Turner Prize-winning sculptor Grenville Davey and string theorist David Berman's collaboration is producing beautiful, thought-provoking work inspired by the fundamental structure of the Universe. Julia Hawkins interviewed them to find out more about how the Higgs boson and T-duality are giving rise to art.
The Strong Fields, Integrability and Strings programme, which took place at the Isaac Newton Institute in 2007, explored an area that would have been close to Isaac Newton's heart: how to unify Einstein's theory of gravity, a continuation of Newton's own work on gravitation, with quantum field theory, which describes the atomic and sub-atomic world, but cannot account for the force of gravity.
Many people's impression of mathematics is that it is an ancient edifice built on centuries of research. However, modern quantitative finance, an area of mathematics with such a great impact on all our lives, is just a few decades old. The Isaac Newton Institute quickly recognised its importance and has already run two seminal programmes, in 1995 and 2005, supporting research in the field of mathematical finance.
When the mathematician AK Erlang first used probability theory to model telephone networks in the early twentieth century he could hardly have imagined that the science he founded would one day help solve a most pressing global
Progress in pure mathematics has its own tempo. Major questions may remain open for decades, even centuries, and once an answer has been found, it can take a collaborative effort of many mathematicians in the field to check that it is correct. The New Contexts for Stable Homotopy Theory programme, held at the Institute in 2002, is a prime example of how its research programmes can benefit researchers and its lead to landmark results.
Artificial neural networks grew out of researchers' attempts to mimick the human brain. In 1997 the Isaac Newton Institute hosted a landmark research programme in the area. Today, neural networks are able to learn how to perform complex tasks and are crucial in many areas of life, from medicine to the Xbox.

Welcome to the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board Prayer website! We invite you to browse through the Prayer
Resource Guide for information and inspiration on prayer. The purpose of this website is to motivate individuals,
churches, associations and state conventions to make prayer a precursor for ministry.
Prayer was a high priority in the life of Jesus. Whether early in the morning, throughout the day, or late into
the night the scriptures indicate Jesus spent time in prayer. It was the power behind His life. The Savior began and
finished His earthly ministry in prayer (Matt. 4; Luke 23:46). Today, the Lord is still praying for us (John 17:20).
Through prayer Jesus experienced a loving relationship with His heavenly Father. Prayer guided His ministry, aided
Him in Satan's temptations and comforted Him in distress. Intercession with the Father gave Him the strength to pay
our sin debt. Again and again we find Jesus relying on prayer for fulfilling God's will for His life. The Prayer
Resource guide is designed to assist us in our effort to effectively communicate with the heavenly Father. If prayer
was a priority with Jesus, then it must be with us.
Our theme for 2011 is Covering Mississippi in Prayer (Acts 1:14). Please join us as we
pursue spiritual awakening, renewal, and a greater intensity in prayer throughout Mississippi.

Cognac Regions
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.
Petite Champagne : some 16,000 hectares of clay and a more compact chalky layer of soil. Petit Champagne is very much of the same quality, but a touch lighter. It's vineyards lie to the south-west and south-east of Grande Champagne.
Fine Champagne : The blending of Grande and Petite Champagne with a minimum of 50% of Grande Champagne is called "Fine Champagne".
Borderies : only 4,000 hectares of unique soil on the plateau above Charente river. The eau de vie has a slight nutty taste. Borderies, which lie around the town of Burie (north-west of City of Cognac), is the smallest of the crus in the terms of acreage. Eaux-de-vie from Borderies has rich, flowery aromas and it is known as "…Cognac that ladies prefer".
Fins Bois : 37,000 hectares of soil. characterized by quick aging environment. A subtle flowery bouquet characterizes this eau de vie. The largest, and by far the intriguing cru, is Fins Bois. Geographically, it rings the other three crus. It lies, approximately, in the triangle between the towns of Rouilliac, Matha and Pons. It has a rich, full, strong aromas with a touch of the maritime climate.
Bons Bois : less chalky but more earthy soil of 16,000 hectares that is well reflected in the eau de vie.
Bois Ordinaires et Bois Communs (Bois a Terroir); 30,000 hectares of soil influenced by the Atlantic climate. Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires are the exterior crus heavily influenced by the climate of the Atlantic ocean. They contribute less and less to the overall production of Cognac but are, nevertheless, known to produce some interesting Cognacs.

I'm an artist from Berlin, Connecticut. I love comics, video games and my three silly cats. Everything here is done by me. I also have a beard, if that helps! When starting a sketch, I never know how it is going to look in the end. I let my imagination run wild. I have always loved sketching with a pencil. With that in mind, I set out to find a way to keep my pencil sketches visible, even in the final product. I was always fascinated seeing the sketch, rather than the final piece because I love to see the process and how the artist thought before anything solid was laid down.
I'm open for commissions. If you would like to set something up, feel free to message me here or email me at email@example.com
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Im in love with this artist.

A coma is a state of deep unconsciousness that a person cannot be woken from. A person in a coma cannot react to events in the environment.
Information about your environment is normally passed from the brainstem into the rest of the brain. This feedback allows a person to be aware of and react to the environment. A coma is caused by a breakdown in this system.
The system may be interrupted by:
- Severe head injury—most often a result of car accidents, violence, or falls.
Brain illness such as:
- Brain tumor
- Brain hemorrhage or stroke
- Brain infection
Lack of oxygen to the brain which may be due to:
- Very high blood pressure
- Very low blood pressure or shock
- Cardiac arrest
- Severe seizures
Severe general illness such as:
- Severe bodily infections
- Severe acute liver or kidney failure
- High carbon dioxide levels
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Toxicity from poisons, medication, alcohol , or drugs
- Abnormal hormone levels, such as from the thyroid or adrenal gland
- Abnormal blood chemistries, such as sodium or calcium
- Very low or very high levels of blood sugar
- Very low or very high body temperatures
- Severe nutrient deficiency
- Liver failure
- Kidney failure
- Inherited metabolic diseases
Risk Factors
Risk factors for coma include:
- Severe illness
- Diabetes
- Liver, kidney, or cardiovascular disease
- Tendency to have blood clots
- Exposure to poisonous substances (such as carbon dioxide)
- Cancer and chemotherapy
Risk factors for brain injury include:
- Age: 5 years or younger, 15-24 years old, and 75 years or older
- Sex: male
- Traveling in a vehicle at a high rate of speed or at night
- Lack of sleep
- A previous head injury
Symptoms of a coma include the following:
No response to stimulus, such as:
- Pain
- Sound
- Touch
- Sight
Spontaneous body movements, such as:
- Jerking
- Shaking
- Trembling
- Eyes opening and closing
- Irregular breathing
Since the patient cannot speak, the doctor will need to gather information from other sources. The doctor may need to speak to friends, family members, and people who witnessed the accident. This is important to help with diagnosis. The doctor will also need to know about the person's medical history and any drug or alcohol use. It is important to provide honest information in order to help with treatment.
The doctor will test reflexes, listen to breathing, and examine the eyes. A physical exam will also be done including tests of the nervous system. In addition, the following tests may be done:
- Blood tests—to check blood glucose levels, organ function and screen for infection and toxic substances
- Urine test—to test for the presence of drugs
Imaging tests, such as:
- Neck x-rays —in cases where head and neck trauma may have occurred, a test that uses radiation to take pictures of structures inside the body
- MRI scan —a test that uses magnetic and radio waves to make pictures of the inside of the body, in this case the brain
- CT scan —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of the inside of the head
- SPECT or Xenon—enhanced CT scan to test for blood flow and metabolic activity within the brain
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) —a test that records the brain's activity by measuring electrical currents through the brain
- Spinal tap (lumbar puncture) —removal of a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid to check for pressure, blood, and infection
- Evoked potentials—a test for brain wave activity after stimulation of the sensory nerves (including the auditory nerves) of the body
Clinical findings of comatose patients can be rated according to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). This scale assesses three different functions: eye opening, motor response, and verbal response. Scores can range from 15 to 3. A lower score indicates less responsiveness. Scores are interpreted as follows:
- 15-13—mild brain injury
- 12-9—moderate brain injury
- 8 or less—a severe brain injury
A coma is a medical emergency. Any unconscious person should be taken to the emergency room immediately.
Emergency Treatment
Doctors will work quickly to determine the cause of the coma. Further treatment will depend on the cause of the coma. Supportive care may include:
- Monitoring of vital signs
- Oxygen therapy
- Delivering fluids directly into the blood through an IV
- Ventilator to help support breathing
If a specific cause of the coma is suspected, supportive care may also include:
- Glucose delivered through IV—in case low blood sugar is causing the coma
- Naloxone—if a narcotics overdose is suspected
- Thiamine (vitamin B1) may be given with glucose if alcoholism or malnutrition is suspected
In some cases, surgery may correct the cause of a coma.
Ongoing Treatment
If the coma persists after emergency care, ongoing care may be needed. Once the person is stabilized, treatment will focus on providing nutrition and preventing infections. The care staff will also work to prevent bedsores .
The following can help decrease your risk of coma:
- Wear a seatbelt . Make sure infants and small children are securely fastened in a child safety seat.
- Children aged 12 years and under should ride in the back seat of a vehicle.
- Wear an appropriate helmet while biking, rollerblading, playing contact sports, skiing, snowboarding, and riding a motorcycle.
- Wear athletic mouth guards while playing sports.
- Do not abuse alcohol or drugs .
- If you have diabetes, see your doctor regularly and take appropriate steps to regulate your blood sugar levels.
- If you are ill or take medicine, see your doctor regularly for check-ups.

text: It's great to see the site up and running. Already there's a handful of registered hikers and many more soon to join I'm sure. What better excuse to get out there and work off those extra holiday pounds. I think I have one 6288 Stout left. Okay, after that I'll get busy. This will be my second go around with STP. Last year was a blast! Everyone was great. I hope this year proves to be the same or better. Good luck to all in your fundraising efforts and keep on hiking!!! G.G.G.

If the Dallas Cowboys were to go 2-2 in the final four games of the season, they'd likely miss the playoffs with a 10-6 record. That's because the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Falcons are right on their tails and depending how the rest of the divisional games go, the Cowboys may be the odd team out. Both the Redskins and the Falcons have better NFC records at the moment, which would give them the tiebreaker over the Dallas Cowboys. The Redskins have won six NFC games with three left. The Falcons have won five, the same as the Cowboys, but they have a better in-division record than the Cowboys. The Redskins would get the upper hand from both if they all went 10-6.
The Redskins have a cakewalk of a season left, with only this weekend's game their toughest. They play Cincinnati, Philadelphia and San Fransisco to end the season. The Chicago Bears and the Carolina Panthers also complicate the playoff spots.
The New York Giants, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals and Chicago Bears or Minnesota Vikings will win their divisions, leaving two teams left. The Carolina Panthers currently have the best record of all the remaining teams, and if that record holds, they take the fifth spot.
The final sixth spot is left for the Cowboys, Redskins, Falcons to fight over, with the Bears-Vikings and Saints with slim chances.
The Cowboys will have to go at least 3-1 to make the playoffs, and quite possibly win all four. They also just happen to have the toughest schedule left of any of those teams.
