LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) -- Kwik Trip Inc. is recalling some doughnuts sold at its convenience stores in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa because they may contain undeclared traces of egg.
La Crosse-based Kwik Trip says the recall applies to all Glazers Donuts. Consumers allergic to eggs may run the risk of serious or life-threatening reactions if they eat them.
The chain says it ordered the recall after discovering its supplier had added egg to a key ingredient. It says the problem has been fixed and no adverse reactions have been reported.
The recalled doughnuts are in 10.75 ounce cardboard boxes with the UPC code 39779 04033 and a sell-by date on or before April 7. Consumers who are allergic to eggs and bought the doughnuts on or before Thursday are urged to return them.

The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation, created by the city in 2007 to handle a rush of natural gas-related money, has grown to $96 million as of the end of 2012, including the roughly $9 million added last year.The foundation knows what it wants to do with the money: Make grants to city departments and local charities to improve life for Arlington residents, Executive Director Carolyn Mentesana said.What's harder to know is how much bigger the foundation's nest egg will grow, or how fast.Low natural gas prices the past few years have meant declining tax revenues for area cities, school districts and other taxing entities. Experts say the Barnett Shale probably reached its peak production of just over 6 billion cubic feet a day in 2011, so future royalty payments will be likely tied to prices and shrinking, not growing, production.That lends support to decisions by Arlington and others to treat the boom as a windfall for long-term investment.In 2012, natural gas futures prices averaged $2.83 per million Btu, which is roughly 1,000 cubic feet. That was the lowest since 1999, when futures prices averaged $2.32, and was down about 30 percent from 2011.So far in 2013, the average is $3.33; the price Friday was $3.50.Exhibit A for that decline is Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, which signed a huge lease in 2006 with Chesapeake Energy, which has since become Tarrant County's largest gas producer. But the airport's royalties fell from $35.1 million in 2008 to $5.2 million last year.John Terrell, vice president of commercial development at DFW Airport, said the price of gas from the airport's 102 wells averaged just $2.07 per 1,000 cubic feet last year, including a low of $1.30 per 1,000 cubic feet.The impact of lower prices is evident in the revenue flowing to area taxing authorities, such as cities and school districts. All these figures are for fiscal 2012, which ended Sept. 30.Fort Worth's natural gas revenues fell 37 percent to $23.1 million.The Tarrant Regional Water District's oil and gas revenues fell 25 percent, to nearly $21 million.Arlington nearly bucked the general decline, as its revenues from natural gas dipped less than 3 percent, to $19.1 million.Cities and tax authorities also receive ad valorem, or property, taxes. Because those also depend on prices, property tax collections are also down.The appraised value of oil and gas production in Tarrant County, on which ad valorem taxes are based, fell 22 percent, said Lonnie Richardson, director of business, personal property, utilities and minerals for the Tarrant Appraisal District. He said the net taxable value of well sites declined in 2012 to $3.6 billion from $4.6 billion in 2011.As a rule of thumb, he said, combined taxes for city, county, school districts and other taxing authorities generally total about 2.5 percent of the taxable value of property.Using that guide, "you'd get about $90 million in tax revenue," he said. The estimate in 2011 was $113 million.Julie Wilson, Chesapeake's vice president of urban development, said the Oklahoma City producer paid $31 million last year in ad valorem taxes in the Barnett Shale. "The vast majority was to cities and ISDs in Tarrant and Johnson counties," Wilson said.She said the company doesn't have a count for its royalty payments to cities and schools but said, "We paid just over $176.8 million in royalties to Barnett mineral owners in 2012."2008: Thegood old daysAs welcome as those millions in extra tax revenue are, it's clear that 2008 likely represented the peak for local taxing entities in natural gas-related income.The leasing boom that swept through Tarrant County in particular pushed mineral rights signing bonuses to unheard-of values, swelling public coffers and private wallets alike. (Production had been established before then around Tarrant, starting in Wise County with the Barnett's initial discovery and development, and moving into Johnson, Denton and Parker counties.)The sharpest example of 2008's bounty is again DFW Airport, whose blockbuster lease with Chesapeake brought in $10,000 an acre. The 18,000-acre airport ultimately booked $185.2 million in bonus payments, half in 2007 and half in 2008.With 2008's royalty payments and other land use fees, plus the bonus money, the airport earned $131.9 million from natural gas that year. By last year, the total had dropped to $8.7 million, down 57 percent from $20.1 million in fiscal 2011. The airport also received $5 million from Chesapeake last year as part of a settlement of a legal dispute over past royalty calculations.For 2013, the airport's capital budget anticipates natural gas royalties of $7.3 million, Terrell said, plus whatever land use fees arise. In past years those fees have ranged from about $2 million to $4 million.Rather than the 300-plus wells Chesapeake planned to drill when the lease was announced, it has drilled 102, Terrell said, the last one in 2009. And last month it asked the airport for permission to delay by a year the six wells it was contractually bound to drill in 2013 and the eight it was to drill in 2014.The airport approved that request, as did the Dallas City Council. It now awaits an OK by the Fort Worth council, Wilson said.Building a stashAs disappointing as the airport's recent royalties have been, Terrell pointed out that it has earned a total of nearly $290 million from natural gas production.It spent $40 million to $50 million right away on upgrades to passenger services like restrooms, seating and television displays, airport spokesman David Magana said.Other money is going into capital projects like its ongoing $1.9 billion terminal improvement."It lowers the amount we have to borrow," Terrell said.The cities of Arlington and Fort Worth have likewise earmarked sizable portions of their revenues for long-lasting expenses rather than operations.For example, the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation gets 90 percent of the city's lease bonuses and 50 percent of its royalties, said Roger Venables, assistant director of community development and planning. The foundation has made 276 grants totaling $7.6 million, said Mentesana, its director.The remaining revenue stays with the city "in support of capital maintenance and improvement projects," Venables said.The city of Fort Worth has a similar arrangement."Since gas revenues are an unpredictable, market-driven and declining resource over time, the city has chosen to dedicate the revenues to capital projects and a trust," Fort Worth city spokesman Bill Begley said in an email. As of Sept. 30, the city had taken in $186 million through its gas lease program, made appropriations of $99.6 million, and held $75.6 million after other fees and interest.That $186 million is just over a quarter of the city's 25-year estimate of gas-related bonuses and royalties of $697.5 million, a figure that was reduced last year from $1 billion.Begley said the city hasn't changed its projected revenue number since.Jim Fuquay,817-390-7552Twitter: @jimfuquay

Saturday's battle was the 85th time on the gridiron. It's the longest, uninterrupted intersectional rivalry in college football. But this game is a lot more than just a rivalry.
Since 1927, the Irish and the Midshipmen have created a history of tradition, friendship and respect. In fact, that friendship saved the university.
During World War II, enrollment fell drastically at Notre Dame, in the spring of 1943, it was barely over 2,500 students, and like many other colleges at the time, Notre Dame faced severe financial difficulties.
At the same time, Navy was also struggling, they needed a place to train the increased number of Naval Officers needed to fight in the war. So they picked Notre Dame. From 1942 to 1946, over 10,000 officers were trained at Notre Dame.
So many, in fact, that the university was referred to as Annapolis West, and it was enough to keep Notre Dame alive. But even during a football game, you can see that friendship and respect.
The Navy Band has played the Notre Dame Victory March as they walk out of the tunnel before the game. And afterwards, the Irish players are known to stand with the Midshipmen as they sing the academy's alma mater.
Now next year's game is going to be a little different, the Irish and the Midshipmen will meet on the gridiron, in Dublin. They'll be facing off for their 86th game, in Aviva Stadium.
The $410 million, four-level, state of the art facility just opened last may. It has a seating capacity of 50,000, with all of the seats under cover. On top of regular spectator seats, there are 10,000 club seats and 36 luxury suites.
Aviva Stadium was designed by Populous, the same architecture firm that was involved with Heinz Field, Yankee Stadium, Camden Yards, and the Sydney Olympic Stadium.

Gregory King, father of Julian King, as he leaves the Criminal Courts building at 2650 S. California, after the sentencing hearing for William Balfour. He was given 3 life sentences. Tuesday, July 24, 2012 | Brian Jackson~Chicago Sun-Times

Statement from father of Julian King, 7
Dear Honorable Judge [Charles] Burns:
I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Gregory King, father of the late Julian King. I am grateful for the opportunity to put in writing some of the ways that the horrible murder of my son Julian has affected me and my family.
When this tragic situation was brought to my attention, it was completely unbelievable. As soon as I received the call from my son's mother with the disturbing news about her mother's death and the disappearance of our son, my heart dropped. I started praying every minute that my son would be returned to us alive. Later in the day, the date of the murders, when I met my son's mother at the police station is when reality slapped me in the face.
I couldn't sleep the whole weekend after the murders. I kept looking at the news waiting to see if anyone had claimed the reward that had been offered and to hear that my son had been found alive. Instead, I learned that my son was found dead. Instantly it was like a chunk of my heart was ripped out. I felt hopeless. I was filled with rage for William Balfour, the man who murdered my son.
With God's help, I had to learn how to cope despite my pain and rage as I have other kids to look after: Little Greg and Tamia King, Julian's brother and sister. Little Greg and Tamia used to play with Julian all the time before his murder.
I miss picking Julian up from the school bus. I miss going on field trips with him. I miss him spending the night with me and my other children. I even miss his bugging me about SpongeBob SquarePants, a cartoon character he was kind of afraid of. I just miss spending time with my son Julian. William Balfour forever took my son from me. He took Julian from Little Greg and Tamia. My son can't come back. But thank God that justice was served by the jury's guilty verdict.
While I am touched by the jury's verdict and all the hard work that the prosecutors put into this case, a part of me will always remain dissatisfied because I will never understand William Balfour's senseless, horrific acts. How could William Balfour be so insecure as to sit and plot the murder of his wife's family? How could a man who himself was having numerous affairs take the lives of his wife's family because he thought she was unfaithful to him? I will never understand this. No innocent child, no loving grandma or mother, brother, or uncle, no innocent person deserves to be slaughtered like William Balfour slaughtered Julian, Ms. Donerson and Jason.
William Balfour, I have many ill wishes for you. I will leave these in the hands of God.
I would again like to thank Judge Burns for giving me the opportunity to express my emotions and to give some insight on how I'm feeling on the inside. I have had this bottled up inside of me for a long time. In closing, I would like to thank God for the guilty verdict, the Hudson family for still showing love to me, and a special thanks to my family and friends who have supported me through these hard times and for coming to court.
Greg King

text: On July 22, 2009, about 1400 Pacific daylight time, a Piper PA-30, N7504Y, experienced a landing gear collapse during the landing roll at Walla Walla, Washington. Walla Walla University was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The certificated commercial pilot, with a certified flight instructor (CFI) certificate, and one passenger were not injured. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the airframe. The local maintenance test flight departed Walla Walla about 1345. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed.The pilot reported that he had remained in the airport traffic pattern, and completed one takeoff and landing. The pilot stated that, prior to the second landing, the landing gear was down, and all indications appeared normal. After reducing power for landing, he did not hear an audible alert warning horn. As the airplane touched down, the gear collapsed. He noticed smoke coming from the circuit breaker panel on the floor, and exited the airplane.The air traffic control tower personnel reported that they thought that the landing gear appeared to be down prior to touchdown.The operator reported that they had previously been having trouble with the landing gear circuit breaker popping during landing gear extension and retraction. Six flight hours prior to the accident, they had replaced the right main landing gear push/pull retraction/extension cable, the gear motor control contactor, and the gear motor circuit breaker. Ground and flight tests had been successfully completed without a recurrence. The operator stated that the airplane had about 8 to 10 landing gear cycles prior to the accident flight with no anomalies noted, which led them to believe that the situation had been resolved.Post accident examination revealed that the landing gear motor circuit breaker tripped. The landing gear warning horn circuit is powered by the gear motor circuit, and would not activate with the circuit breaker tripped.

The Polish striker narrowly failed to convert another close-range opening two minutes later, pressured well by Patrice Evra, but the hosts' time in the ascendancy was short-lived as United drew level just after the half-hour.
Evra surged down the left flank and released Nani, whose pull-back fell neatly for Rooney. The striker's swept shot was parried away by former United goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler, but only as far as Chicharito, four yards out, who used a neat touch to control and a simple tap-in to draw the Reds level.
The visitors might have been in front by the interval, but Nani blazed over after a neat free-kick routine, Cleverley fired straight at Zieler after clever approach work and Kagawa had a pair of shots blocked by the alert Avevor.
However, Hannover's dormant threat briefly emerged when Lindegaard plunged to sharply save from Konstantin Rausch, and the Bundesliga side forged ahead for a second time shortly after the commencement of the second half.
David De Gea and Ryan Giggs were introduced at the expense of Lindegaard and Young during the interval, and the former's first involvement was to punch clear a corner. With play ongoing, the ball was lifted back into the area and Karim Haggui rose highest to thump home a header.
The Tunisian international was one of eight substitutes brought on by the hosts and another, Didier Ya Konen, twice brought sharp saves from De Gea after the interval. United might have levelled when Rooney released Chicharito, but Zieler did brilliantly to fend away the Mexican's effort with his right foot.

The boned thigh of a pig is pickled with salt, saltpetre, sugar, juniper berries, pepper and other spices, and then cooked by steam and pressed into a mould. It is ready to be eaten a few days after being cooked. The line of fat in the middle of the ham is a sign of quality, meaning that the ham has come from a whole leg as opposed to lean cuts of various provenance being processed together and pressed into the shape of a ham.
The Capitelli family produce everything with reverence to traditional methods whilst using modern technology. The result - proper cooked ham which tastes natural, is dry and not undesirably strong in flavour.

Disappointed by inconsistency
I have bought this for the first time a few months ago and very pleased with the quality, lean ham, no fat etc. In the last couple of months however, I have been very disappointed by the quality - fatty and what it looks a cheaper cut of pork. For the cost, it is bad value for money and I won't buy it again.

WINCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) -- Franklin County authorities say they have developed "persons of interest" in the killing of a man near Cowan.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Sheriff Tim Fuller said 26-year-old Corey N. Matthews was unarmed. A preliminary autopsy report indicated he was beaten to death. Fuller said no potential crime scene other than the cornfield where Matthews' body was found is being investigated.
Police also say more than one person was involved in Matthews' death, but won't say why he was killed.
A Cowan police officer found Matthews' body just outside the city on March 24 after his family reported him missing.
Matthews' funeral was Friday in Winchester. His obituary stated Matthews is survived by his wife and two daughters.

Lupus fog -- the forgetfulness and fuzzy-headed feeling that can come with lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE) – can be one of the most frustrating symptoms of the condition.
The term lupus fog means more than memory problems. It also refers to cognitive difficulties, such as trouble helping your child with homework, or writing a grocery list.
"It can really make your whole world fall apart," says Janet Foley Orosz, PhD, a public policy expert in Ohio who has struggled with lupus fog for almost 20 years. She's now collaborating on a web site and vocational program designed to help others with the condition.
There's no cure for lupus, so there's no cure for lupus fog either. But there are ways to work around your problems with concentration and memory. Here's what you need to know.
Lupus fog is a general name for the cognitive impairments that often appear with lupus, including concentration and memory problems, confusion, and difficulty expressing yourself. These cognitive problems are often worse during flares.
The good news: Lupus fog doesn't usually get progressively worse, like dementia or Alzheimer's disease, says Lisa Fitzgerald, MD, a rheumatologist at the Lupus Center of Excellence at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Instead, memory issues will probably wax and wane, just like other lupus symptoms.
The exact cause of lupus fog is hard to pin down, experts say. In some cases, lupus can damage cells in the brain, leading directly to cognitive problems. However, in most cases other factors play a role, including fatigue, stress, and depression. Lupus fog is sometimes worse in people who also have fibromyalgia. Although it's possible that side effects from drugs such as NSAIDs or steroids could worsen lupus fog, experts say that switching medicines rarely resolves the problem.
While researchers study possible causes of lupus fog, Orosz focuses on coping strategies that help people deal with it.
"When you're a person dealing with lupus fog, you don't worry that much about what's causing it," says Orosz. "What you care about is learning how to work around it."
Here are some tips that may help you deal with lupus fog.
When it comes to lupus fog, don't go it alone. Experts can help teach you ways to work around the cognitive symptoms.
Orosz suggests getting a referral to a neuropsychologist. Other types of experts who may help you cope with lupus fog include vocational counselors, cognitive therapists, and some occupational therapists.
Make sure these specialists have experience helping people cope with concentration and memory problems. They don't need to be experts in lupus specifically. Other conditions – such as MS and fibromyalgia -- can cause similar types of concentration and memory problems. But the specialists do need to know how to help people with brain fog.
Pay attention to the costs. Insurers will hopefully cover a referral to a neuropsychologist, Orosz says, but coverage for cognitive therapy or occupational therapy might be more limited.
That's not easy. Just remember that trying to maintain a schedule that's become too demanding -- and living in a state of panic and anxiety -- will make you miserable. It will affect your family. It could very well worsen your lupus too.
"Having lupus fog will force you to change your expectations sometimes," says Orosz. "It can be really hard to let go." But making a big and necessary change will likely benefit you and your family in the long run.
Enlist your loved ones' help in supporting your memory. Ask them to use notes, texts, or email to remind you of things, instead of just telling you. You and your spouse may need to change how you divvy up responsibilities too.
Having lupus fog can be terribly discouraging. It can undermine your confidence and even your sense of self, Orosz says. It's important to remember that it's not you. Lupus fog is just another lupus symptom -- like achy joints or facial rash.
Don't despair and don't settle for the symptoms. Talk to your doctor and see if you can get a referral to someone who specializes in treating lupus fog. The right treatments will help you feel better and more confident again.

|Dead Men's Respite
|Southwest of Morthal
|Nordic Tomb
|Tending the Flames
|Ghost of Svaknir
King Olaf One-Eye
Frostbite Spiders
|Word Wall
|Whirlwind Sprint
|Location ID
Dead Men's Respite is an ancient nordic tomb in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is located southwest of Morthal on the bank of the Hjaal River in Hjaalmarch Hold. The tomb is the final resting place of |King Olaf. The initiation quest for the Bards College faction, "Tending the Flames", takes place here. Dead Man's Respite is also a possible location for the Companions radiant quest, "Trouble in Skyrim".
Upon entering the dungeon, the Dragonborn will see Svaknir ( The blue ghost ), but will be unable to interact with it. There is a Ruby Dragon Claw on the middle table upon entering the ruin that will unlock the door and release four enemies into the room. It is possible to kill the four Draugr in this room while sneaking, before picking up the Claw, while they are asleep. There is an Iron Door on the left of this room with minor loot.
Down the hall, the Dragonborn will come to a burial chamber and see the ghost disappear through a wall. This part of the tomb is a puzzle as there are rotating doorways activated by a pull chain. Activating the pull chain will change the doors, opening some and closing others.
Eventually, the Dragonborn comes to a room with two circular grates in the floor. Two Frostbite Spiders will drop from the ceiling. To the left there is an urn behind a spider's web and an apprentice chest. Open the gate on the far side of the room by activating the chain to the right of the entrance. Follow the watery passage to a large, two-story room. Walk up the wooden ramp on the right, the cage-like door is rigged with an adept-level trap. Activate it in the bottom right corner of the door to avoid the pendulum axes. The trap may be disabled by pulling the chain on the pillar once past it. Up the stairs is an iron door.
Past the iron door is an Arcane Enchanter and a sealed door that is currently inaccessible. To the right of this and down the slope there is a powerful Draugr that may use the Disarm shout. There are more rooms with draugr, but only one will be hostile until passing through again on the way back out. They may be killed before they wake on the first walk through. The leveled Draugr Warlord will attack soon as one enters the room. The left side of the room he is found in has a floor trap switch, a draugr body, a Grand Soul Gem, a Common Soul Gem, a stamina potion and several Scrolls. Going through the right side will bring the Dragonborn to a room with another circular grate in the floor. An expert locked door with a master locked chest behind it can be found on the way.
In the room with the circular grate, cage doors will open and about six Restless Draugr will attack. A trapped chest in one of the back rooms contains some minor loot. Pull the chain to open the grate and proceed down the spiral staircase. At the bottom, pull the handle to open a secret doorway.
Next is a room with Svaknir's ghost, as well as his corpse. The corpse clutches King Olaf's Verse and the Dragonborn must take the book to continue the journey. The book is not actually on the body of Svaknir but is in his hands. Aim at the book and take it in order to get it, searching Svaknir will only get gold. The ghost will again disappear.
Climb back up the spiral staircase, and then retrace your steps back out of the room. When you return to the sealed door, Svaknir's ghost will be waiting, and he will open the door.
Behind this door will be a puzzle door and the Dragonborn must arrange the pictures on the door to match the symbols on the dragon claw in order to enter the next room. (Wolf, Eagle, Wolf).
Past the door is King Olaf's burial room. The ghost of Svaknir calls upon King Olaf, causing waves of Draugr to attack. Svaknir will help the Dragonborn fight the Draugr and King Olaf One-Eye will appear to join the fight. It is possible for a sneaking archer to kill most of the seated Draugr from the doorway, before King Olaf is awakened.
After the Dragonborn and Svaknir's ghost defeat Olaf, Svaknir's ghost pulls out a lute, plays a few notes, and disappears now that he is finally at peace. At this end of the room is a Word Wall. The Dragonborn can either loot the key from Olaf's body or pick a Master level lock to go through a door to a small room with treasure. Using the lever there will unlock the next door back to the first room of the dungeon.
Notable lootEdit
- Ruby Dragon Claw
- Word of Power, Whirlwind Sprint
- Speech Skill Book: "The Buying Game" - in the rotating doors section
- Ebony Weapon
Tending the FlamesEdit
In order to prove their worth, the Dragonborn must traverse the dungeon and retrieve King Olaf's Verse. After acquiring the book, King Olaf One-Eye himself must be fought and killed before leaving the tomb.

Welcome to May Day Acres
One bend of Foote Creek North of Aberdeen SD sits May Day Acres, a small farm and ranch where we grow produce and raise chickens for eggs. We are just getting started with milk and fiber goats and we also raise miniature donkeys. Of course Gypsy horses are our primary focus and we are proud of our small but growing herd. Take a look around and feel free to visit the Burgard Construction page or visit our new sites at http://burgardconstruction.com where you can see the fantastic wood work and building skills put forth by our construction crew!
At May Day Acres, we work hard and play hard! In addition to the Gypsy horses my husband Adam Burgard, runs small lumber mill with a new and reclaimed custom wood shop. He also owns and operates Burgard Construction LLC., which handles everything from new construction of commercial and residential buildings to large and small remodeling projects.
We have three boys who work hard at times but always keep us busy!!
Of course our helpful and adoring pets are always around to help out with the horses and other animals!
As well as the Gypsy horses we also have a few other animals on the farm,
The Gypsy spirit has always been strong for me and I always dreamed that I could one day own a Gypsy horse. One day out of the blue that dream came true! I was looking for a nice mare, maybe a Gypsy cross? When I found Jack Flash, just a short drive from my home. When I found out his birthday was the same as my son's I just decided that he had to come home with me one way or another. It has been an interesting journey but a wonderful one and life has been great in Aberdeen since Flash came into our lives. We of course are proud of our other horses but there is something truly unique about our sweet clowny stallion!!
The twins Toymakker's Mona and Lisa also just happened to appear in my life shortly after Flash' arrival at May Day Acres, they needed a new home and I not being one to pass up signs, brought them home too! Today I am living a dream of mine that I had since I was a girl and I have to admit that it is even more grand than what I dreampt of as a girl. I hope that I can bring that dream to you and others who feel the Gypsy spirit. Please come and grow with us and join in my Gypsy dream! Welcome to May Day Acres and please feel free to contact ;

Dec. 3, 2010 -- The FDA says Align Technology Inc., maker of the popular Invisalign "invisible braces," didn't tell the agency about several life-threatening allergic reactions to the product.
The FDA learned of the allegedly unreported events during a July 2010 inspection of the firm. In its warning letter, the FDA says Align Technology failed to tell the agency how it was going to improve its reporting procedures.
In a news release, Align Technology says it did send the FDA the information it requested, but that "our response of November 8, 2010 may have crossed in the mail with the FDA's warning letter." The FDA letter is dated Nov. 17, 2010.
Align Technology is based in San Jose, Calif. Company CEO Thomas Prescott told the San Jose Mercury News that the Invisalign system has been used by more than 1.3 million patients.
Some of those patients appear to suffer serious allergic reactions to the product. The FDA letter describes two complaints:
The FDA letter does not imply that the Invisalign device is unsafe, only that Align Technology failed to make the timely reports the agency needs to monitor safety.

It takes intense training to make it to the battlefield, and one technique can mean the difference between life and death.
Outside Forward Operating Base Courage, it's a seemingly quiet day. Inside, soldiers are enjoying a much deserved break. Then, all of a sudden, an attack on base leaves troops critically injured.
Combat Medics respond in seconds to treat gruesome injuries, but they're fake.
It's week 16, the final week of training for these medics, and it hasn't been easy.
Army officials say each year about 7,000 medics start the training. Close to 1,200 or just over 17-percent don't make it to this stage.
Those who do, learn what it takes to keep the stress from overwhelming them. Combat Medic Instructor Sgt. Michael Mazzoni
says, "We tell them when that adrenaline starts pumping through your body, you can get stronger...faster...and dumber. That's why they're taught to rely on their muscles instead of their minds."
Medic in training, Pfc. Joshua Hedman it's all about the preparation. "Once you get that muscle memory, in any condition, given any injury, you're ready to go."
Another Medic in training Joel Fernandes echoed those thoughts. "Now, we can just look at an injury and we know what to do so it's a lot faster treating it."
Muscle memory is defined as the ability to memorize or perform well rehearsed motion or motor skills less consciously or more by habit. Simply put, it is your memory for motor skills.
"Your hands should be moving without you even thinking about it," Mazzoni said.
Private Hedman tells us that happens by doing these procedures over and over and over again. "You don't even have to think about what our next step is, You're reaching for the next piece of equipment or your buddy working across from you on the other side is handing you that equipment. It's kind of like an orchestra," he said. "Everything is strung together really well, and it works beautifully together."
Doing instead of thinking, plus their own ingenuity could be what helps these medics save lives overseas, and they learn it all here.
Once medics make it through the grueling 16 week training course, they can be deployed to the front lines within three to six months.

One of the myths about dreams is that you can't die in your own dreams…. Anyone who has died in their dreams knows that this is not the case.
The mistake many people make in trying to understand their dreams is to take the dream literally and not metaphorically. That one dreams of a plane crash, for instance, does not mean that one should cancel all plane reservations. The question to ask is, "What is going on in my life that is like a plane crash?", or "What emotions have I been having that are similar to a plane crash?" (I had a friend, for instance, who dreamed of a plane crash as he was in the process
of getting a divorce.)
Similarly, to die in a dream is suggesting that a part of one's self is dying or has died. Death dreams are often dreams of transformation; for a new part of the self to emerge an old conception or an old part of the self must die.
Jeremy Taylor, who writes some of the best books on dreams and is one of the best dream workers I have seen (at a conference of the International Association for the Study of Dreams) writes:
Dream Themes:
I Kill Someone, Witness A Killing, or Kill Myself
The central image here is the "death" of those dream characters. No matter how distressing these images are during the dream, they are almost certainly symbolic pictures of ways in which I am growing and changing, ways in which my life energies are being redirected from old attitudes, perceptions, and self-images. In my experience, it doesn't make a great deal of difference who dies in the dream–if someone or something dies, it signifies that growth and change are taking place. If the dreamer dies, the changes in waking life are likely to be noticeable and radical, and will probably manifest themselves in personality and opinion changes. If it's someone else who dies in the dream, this suggests that the changes are taking place a little further away from the sense of core self –but changes are happening nonetheless.
Suicide in dreams takes on a particularly ironic and positive quality in this sense; it means that the psycho-spiritual growth and development is taking place as a result of conscious choice and decision. For a person in recovery from addictive behavior, for example, to dream of "suicide" is a particularly positive image, because it usually means that this time, the decision to quit is actually going to stick, and the old, addictive personality really is dying.

text: NEW PALTZ -- NEW PALTZ - Anne Pasternak, who helped create the World Trade Center's Tribute in Light memorial as part of her ongoing work bringing art into unexpected public spaces, will speak on Wednesday, April 2, in the SUNY New Paltz Lecture Center, Room 102. Pasternak, the executive director of Creative Time Inc., commissions cultural art projects that transform forgotten places like an abandoned railroad station or run-down storefront into exhibition spaces that comment on contemporary urban experience. Creative Time has installed video projections in Columbus Circle and sculptures in Grand Central Station. For years it held art shows and performances in the historic Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage. No place is off-limits. The non-profit group has created events in cyberspace and even in skywriting. "I look at everything as a canvas," Pasternak says. She and her staff "look at things in our culture that are changing and ask artists, 'What are you thinking?'" Primary to Pasternak's mission is challenging old assumptions about where art should be seen, and who its audience will be. Anyone who doubts the ability of art to reach all people need only consider the twin beams of light that shone into the night sky for months at the site of the former World Trade Center, she says. Pasternak, who studied art history at the University of Massachusetts, also curates independent exhibitions, most recently "Pulp Art" at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. She contributes essays to a number of cultural journals, lectures internationally, and was recently a guest critic at Yale University.

New guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists say that all pregnant women, regardless of age, should be offered screening for Down syndrome. Women ages 35 and older have been offered amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling as a test for Down syndrome. The new guidelines say that all women should be offered an ultrasound and a blood test in the first trimester.
The NICU
Newborns who need intensive medical attention are often admitted into a special area of the hospital called the neonatal intensive care unit.
Problems and Conditions
These range from weight and growth problems to breathing and blood disorders, fever, and infections.
Birth Defects and Genetic Disorders
Birth defects are also called "congenital anomalies" or "congenital abnormalities." "Congenital" means "present at birth." "Anomalies" and "abnormalities" mean there is a problem present in a baby.

When one rolls up their cum after masterbation and small balls are formed.
Monty, stop making damn cum balls and telling me about it!
by boytoy3oh3 December 17, 2008
It was first discovered thousands of years ago when sugar was crushed and became powdered sugar, when this substance was mixed together with water it makes a very sticky cum like material that is just irresistible. In present day Cum Balls can be mixed with virtuanly anything vodka, pizza, snow and even your very own lady.
Chunkey Vodka Cum Balls (sugar water vodka and snow)
by Alex Harrison January 30, 2005
when you juice up in a bitch. then when she stands up a wad of cum falls out.
Damn.. There is a cum ball under that bitches ass
by CLOVER GEE December 15, 2007
is when you are getting head from a lady friend and you decide to ejaculate in her mouth, after this act she quickly sucks on one of your balls leaving all the cum on it in which resulting in a cumball
OMG this chick just gave me a cumball!
by The Falkanator March 20, 2008
Cum Balls is the ammunition for a sling shot.
First cum in a condom and blow it up just slightly, Tie it at the end. So its a small ball. Load sling shot and fire.

When a woman that has a slight incontinence issue orgasms and a slight amount of piss mixes with her pussy juice, creating a highly flavorful amalgam for anyone performing cunnilingus on her, much in the same way a speedball delivers a highly potent mixture of cocaine and heroin in a single shot.
I was 69'in this chick over the weekend and when she came, she shot a cumball, so i turned away before she could finish.

SHOULD WE BE MOTORIZING WINDOWS MORE? Draperies and blinds should all be motorized. Keeping the sun out of unoccupied rooms can save tons on air conditioning costs during the summer. Likewise, letting the sun in during the winter saves on heating and makes it look like someone's home. It could save you money and add security. They are not as expensive as they used to be. Of course you could rig them up yourself; those little cordless screwdrivers are quite handy for that. And borrow the remote and innards of that unused remote-controlled car.
MOTORIZATION IS EXPENSIVE, BUT CAN IT ACTUALLY SAVE SOMEONE MONEY? I guess it can be expensive, but if you control the sunlight coming through your windows that's got to save you something. My neighbor pays $40 a week to have some bare-chested stranger cut his grass. My robots do it for pennies and keep their shirts on while they're at it. I personally own a MartinLogan Theater center-channel speaker in my home cinema. It now shares the carpeted floor with my 4-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son. I'm finishing a lift unit for the window seat bench, which will protect the speaker from them while not in use. Saving this gorgeous electrostatic from abuse could save me money—and save my hair from falling out.
WHAT CAN MOTORIZATION MANUFACTURERS DO BETTER IN CREATING THEIR PRODUCTS? Honestly, safety. None of the lifts I installed over the years had any sort of safety stop switches. Ten years ago these units were lifting and dropping 200-pound CRTs and if your child's finger got under that lid, "oops." As far as I know, they are still that way. The TVs may have gotten thinner but the lifts are still dangerous. That's just my opinion. These AC motors are extremely strong. If they could add adjustable torque sensors, making the units just strong enough to do the job and smart enough to stop if an obstruction is detected …
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MOTORIZATION USED TO HIDE VIDEO DISPLAYS OR SCROLL ARTWORK? Hide them all, including those ugly computer monitors. If it's not turned on, I don't want to see it. Make them all pop up or pop down, whatever it takes. I have a few clients who have purchased beautiful artwork frames with the scrolling limited edition prints concealing flat-panel TVs over their fireplaces. But every time that I have visited these people, I walk by and see the plasma turned off and uncovered. I don't personally sell them, but I could build you one, and it would sense that the display is off and activate.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO MOTORIZE MORE? Doors! I saw a TV ad for a minivan, in which the homeowner approaches her home, her hands full of groceries and presses the keychain remote to unlock and open the front door. Where is that? What in the name of George Jetson is taking so long? We've walked through them at the mall for decades, now we even have them on our vehicles. Why not in our house? I have engineered automatic doors in almost all of my home theater designs. They are safe and quiet, and the homeowners and their guests love them. If someone gets up in the middle of a movie and forgets to close the door, no problem. The answer's right there on your touchscreen remote. How cool is that?
HOW CAN MOTORIZATION HELP THE ELDERLY, OR ASSIST WITH HOME HEALTH CARE? It is exciting to see what Japan and China are working on in terms of robotic assistance for the elderly and in hospitals. Their older citizens are living longer, and the demand for nurses and help around the home is growing quickly. We've all seen the medical assist scooters moving seniors around the mall and grocery stores here, but there they are working on robots that will actually lift them in and out of bed, get their food or medicine, and even keep them company.
WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL MOTORIZATION PROJECTS? We are currently in production with my reality TV show, called Motorize This, and the next project will feature my Trash Trolley. I always forget to take the garbage out the night before pickup, so I have devised a contraption to ferry the trash to the curb, via electric wheelchair motors, triggered by a sprinkler timer, guided by stud sensors over a buried wire, and recharged by the sunshine. Wish me luck.
YOU'RE NOT MOTORIZED, ARE YOU? Not yet … stay tuned.Facebook and Twitter.

The Village of Manorhaven held a public hearing at which the development firm of Hamlet Homes, Inc., presented a conceptual plan to redevelop 78 Shore Road (a.k.a. Cow Bay Marina, the Chandelry and Ted Steadman's) into a 14 unit condominium complex, with each condo having a deeded boat slip that goes with the property. The condos, which would be called "The Moorings at Manorhaven," would each have three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and no basements or garages. The maximum building height would be 26 feet and the lot coverage would be 22.9 percent. The cost per condo will be about $250,000. The plan calls for 28 parking spots on the one acre plus piece of property. In order to move forward with this plan, the village has to approve the developer's application for a re-zoning of the property from Industrial Marine l-1 District to Residential R-1 District.
The board and residents, most of whom were opposed to the project, asked several questions about and expressed concerns over the proposal.
Several comments centered around the LWRP (Local Waterfront Revitalization Program) which the village board is close to adopting. The LWRP was designed to preserve the waterfront character of the village and encourages waterfront property owners/developers to include as much public access to the water as possible. If public access is not possible, the village wants a water view corridor . The LWRP calls for direct maritime use of the waterfront property, however a residential development would be considered providing it includes a waterside use (i.e. boat slips).
Based on the LWRP, resident Dolores Kazanian O'Brien took issue with the proposal saying, "To develop this site with multiple residences, be they single or multiple dwellings, would erode, not enhance the quality of our waterfront."
Resident Elizabeth Clark opposes the plan because it doesn't comply with the C-1 zone, "commercial marine related use."
Resident Jennifer Wilson Pines stated that if the board approves the rezoning, "It sets a dangerous precedent," especially for "attached clustered homes." Reading from a letter from another Manorhaven resident, Jane Pines, Ms. Pines, said that rezoning to a Residential R-1 would "change the character," of the site.
Resident Richard Lee agreed, also noting that the village has been working on its overcrowding problem. He also asked "How will it (the development) improve our quality of life?"
Resident Bob O'Brien believes the property should remain zoned for a commercial maritime use. "We're a waterfront community," and this site is at "the gateway to it."
Another item of specific concern was the proposal's lack of public access to the waterfront at that site. Thomas Pantelis, the developer's attorney, advised that under the LWRP, "public access is not guaranteed," and also noted that there's no public access now.
Mayor Gary Pagano pointed out that the developers were asking for an exception to the plan. He also noted that the plan was subject to the LWRP consistency review.
Problems with the details of the proposed plan were also expressed.
Some people questioned the parking plan, which shows 28 spots for 14 units. The question of parking when residents entertain, or what to do about families that have more than two cars, were raised. With no on-street parking allowed on Shore Road, visitors would have to park in the shopping center lots across Shore Road, which is a dangerous street to cross.
Elizabeth Clark asked if the impact of traffic created when Chabad officially opens at the Romaine Pierson site was taken into consideration. A representative from Eschbacher Associates, the developer's traffic expert who attended the meeting, said that he included this fact in his traffic study.
Ms. Clark also questioned why, if as the developers said, the development is designed with empty-nesters or young marrieds in mind, do the units have three bedrooms? Mr. Pantelis said that this is a selling point. If a buyer prefers, one large master bedroom and one large second bedroom can be created instead.
Resident Jim Tomlison asked where the owners' boats would be stored for the winter. Mr. Pantelis replied that no boats would be stored on the property.
Several residents spoke in general about the impact of the development in terms of quality of life issues. Mrs. O'Brien noted, "The residents of Manorhaven have repeatedly pointed out that we cannot afford to exacerbate the overdevelopment of the most densely populated village in Nassau County. The strain on our resources---water, sewer, traffic, schools and so forth---cannot be sustained." She also noted, "Manorhaven needs to encourage, not discourage, its commercial sector. Our businesses are important to us for the taxes they pay, the services they provide, and the jobs they create."
Saying that a commercial endeavor may not be practical for the site,Tony Providente reminded the audience that in recent history five marinas on the bay have failed. He believes that the principle concerns with the property involve the land that has to be leased or conveyed from the Town of North Hempstead, and the project's impact on Sheets Creek. Otherwise, he said, "We have to do something about the abomination that's there now. A slum is developing before our eyes and here we are pontificating." (While Mr. Providenti was the only resident who spoke in favor of the plan, he did receive some applause from the audience.)
As Mr. Providenti noted, problems concerning the creation of the 14 boat slips in the proposal do exist. The board told the developers that the site indicated on the proposal for the boat slips is actually a mud flat at low tide. The water area adjacent to some of the property needs to be dredged.
In a phone interview, Mayor Pagano said, "I have serious doubts that there's enough water at low tide to really sustain the proposed marine use. The area needs to be dredged out to provide deep water access."
Clarifying the LWRP, Mayor Pagano said that it clearly calls for a water dependent usage (i.e. marina, sailing school). The nature of the business has to be such that "it couldn't function without being on the water; restaurants are questionable because you could have one upland. Any plan has to be consistent with the LWRP. The plan as proposed is not water dependent but water related, but the board will give it full consideration," the mayor said.
The board asked the developers to look into the feasibility of providing the 14 boat slips and report their findings back to the board at its next meeting on April 22. On this date, the board told the developers the public hearing will be reconvened on this matter.

Story Retrieval Date: 11/22/2014 9:21:26 PM CST
In a pale, nondescript warehouse about 30 miles outside Chicago, Bill Allcock's booming voice rises above the mechanical drone around a custom-designed building-within-a-building that houses the fifth-fastest supercomputer in the world — a machine called "Intrepid."
Intrepid is an IBM Blue Gene/P supercomputer: a huge, ultra-powerful machine used by scientists and researchers to model complex systems with a degree of precision never before achieved. Built over five years, at a cost of $77 million, Intrepid exemplifies the state of the art in supercomputing. In this realm, speed isn't measured in gigahertz but rather in floating-point operations, or flops. Intrepid provides half a petaflop of computation capacity, or 500 trillion flops. A poster on the wall says it would take two stacks of MacBook laptops, each as tall as the Sears Tower, to match Intrepid's power.
"This is a 50,000 cubic-foot-per-minute air handler," says Allcock, the operations director for the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. "You see these typically on skyscrapers — they are the things that move the ventilation inside skyscrapers. We have six of them, so we move 300,000 cubic-feet-per-minute of air through this room." Moving all that air is key to keeping Intrepid's 160,000 cores, or central processing units, from overheating under the load of the advanced scientific calculations being carried out 24 hours a day.
And Intrepid is just one of the systems at Argonne National Labs, which is positioned at the cutting edge of computing science in the 21st century.
"This is one of two leadership computing facilities," said Katherine Riley, a scientific applications engineer at Argonne. "The concept behind the leadership computing facilities was to really keep supremacy in the world in high-performance computing."
Beyond Intrepid, the computing facilities at Argonne contribute a multitude of other important resources to the scientific community. Advanced visualization systems developed at Argonne help researchers explore the structure of proteins and understand the mechanics of supernovae — exploding stars. Software, such as the Access Grid, allows collaborators all over the world to interact in real time using sophisticated video conferencing. The open-source Nimbus software lets scientists and businesses summon supercomputers on demand and on the cheap. And the collective experience of years in the high-performance computing field feeds back into the development of next-generation systems that will dwarf today's supercomputers in speed and efficiency.
Intrepid is the largest installation of IBM's Blue Gene architecture to date, though Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif., is acquiring one of the same size. Access to the machine is limited to a pool of projects the Department of Energy has vetted for scientific significance. Some of the projects using the Blue Gene supercomputer this year include an experiment by David Baker, of the University of Washington, to predict protein structures; one by Paul Fischer, an Argonne researcher, examining fluid flow inside of nuclear reactor cores; and a model by Don Lamb, of the University of Chicago, simulating how stars self-destruct through supernovae.
But that much virtual brainpower doesn't come easy, and it entails a host of complicated considerations. Power and heat are two of the most crucial. The densely packed microprocessors generate enormous amounts of heat that must be vented, and the power requirements of running not just the computer but all the ancillary systems such as cooling, network and storage are demanding. Intrepid draws 1.2 megawatts of power, and its storage systems run on an additional half-megawatt.
To overcome these challenges, Argonne scientists have begun optimizing when software runs based on the heat generated.
"Certain codes run hotter than other codes," said Mike Papka, a deputy associate laboratory director at Argonne. He said a code that "grinds" a processor — pushes it to full capacity, that is — might run, say, 20 degrees hotter than one which grinds only intermittently.
Papka demonstrated how Argonne scientists monitor the Blue Gene's heat output using an array of 15 video projectors to visualize the temperature of all 160,000 cores. The projectors are linked into a display system called the Active Mural, also developed at Argonne, that allows an observer to check the status of every one of those processors at a glance. Papka said the novel interface is essential to running a computer as powerful as Intrepid.
"You couldn't look at this on your desktop," he said.
Just as important as visualization is collaboration, and Argonne leads the way on that front, as well. The Access Grid developed there provides a framework for digital collaboration around the world by building on the notion of video conferencing.
"It kind of just looks like your living room," said Papka, showing off a comfortable space furnished with a couch and coffee table. "One kind of departure from your traditional videoconferencing is lots of cameras." He explained that the Access Grid utilizes four cameras — including one mounted on the ceiling — all of which can pan, tilt and zoom to provide a sense of depth and perspective.
"You'll have multiple views up of all the other sites, and we'll have somewhere between four and 20, maybe as many as 30 video streams going at a time," he said.
Like most Argonne software, the program underlying the Access Grid is open source, meaning anyone can download it, use it and modify it for his or her own purposes. Open-source software allows everyone to reap the benefits of the work pioneered at Argonne, a taxpayer-supported facility.
"You guys already paid for it once," Papka said. "We shouldn't charge for it again."
Also on the roster of open-source products out of Argonne is Nimbus, software that allows anyone to rig a virtual supercomputer at low cost in only a few minutes. Instead of relying on a single massive machine such the Blue Gene, the Nimbus software takes advantage of large aggregations of computer resources known as "clouds."
In the traditional "grid-computing" model, a single super-machine runs on a cluster of locally networked computers. By contrast, cloud computing can pool the processing power, memory and storage space of thousands of remote computers and allow users to run "virtual machines."
Cloud computing is also known as "Infrastructure-as-a-Service" because it commodifies the cost of large-scale computing resources. Amazon recently introduced this concept to the commercial market as a for-profit service called the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud.
Nimbus, on the other hand, is aimed primarily at scientific users, who can tap into a number of science-related clouds, free of charge. That service grants universities and researchers around the world access to supercomputing power that may previously have been beyond their reach.
Commodifying infrastructure is gaining importance in the world of high-performance computing, and the idea may point to a possible way forward.
"One of the ideas that is sort of bouncing around in a lot of these conversations is: In five to 10 years, maybe you're not charging people by how many CPU hours they're using but by how much power they're using," said Kate Keahey, who heads up the Nimbus project at Argonne.
Allcock offered a similar assessment.
"Five years ago, nobody thought twice about power," he said. "That is a huge sea change. Five years ago, people were just starting to get an inkling that we can't keep going this way forever, and nobody thought about what their power budget was."
But he said the exponential relationship between computing capacity and power usage had reoriented the research away from faster chips and toward more efficient clustering of resources.
"In the future of supercomputing, [electrical] power is everything," he said. "What we are planning toward is a machine that's 40 times as powerful as [Intrepid] in about twice the space, and [with] about three times the power consumption," Allcock said.
But Allcock and Papka stressed that significant problems remaining before computing tasks can be spread with optimal efficiency across large numbers of processors.
"We have ideas," Papka said. "We don't have the answers. That's why it's a research problem."
