What do Miss America, Miss USA and the Florida Teacher of the Year have in common?
They all take a year to tour their areas and talk about the topics that mean the most to them. It certainly makes sense for Miss America or Miss USA and any other Miss "insert event/location" but for the state's teacher of the year, I always believed it was an odd reward.
This year's Florida Teacher of the Year is Orange County's Dorina Sackman. Besides the $10,000 prize money and free trip to New York City for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, she'll tour the state for a year as education ambassador. Why remove one of ...

Reservation Bluesby Sherman Alexie
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Many may remember the tale of Robert Johnson, the musician who sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads in exchange for being the best blues guitarist around.
What many may not know is that after this tragic deal in Mississippi, Johnson ended up in a small town on the Spokane Indian reservation in Washington state-at least that's how author Sherman Alexie tells it.
In his new book Reservation Blues, Alxie spins the fictional tale of Johnson's adventure at a new crossroads, this one in a small town called Wellpinit, Wash. It is here that he comes to seek out Big Mom, a local medicine woman, and, in so doing, leaves his famous guitar in the hands of misfit storyteller Thomas Builds-the-Fire.
Builds-the-Fire, brought back from Alexie's last book, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, takes up Johnson's magical guitar and, along with Victor Joseph, Junior Polatkin and two Flathead Indian sisters named Chess and Checkers, goes on to build a reservation blues band that takes the Northwest by storm...
As the band plays club after club, Alexie uses music as a crosscultural bridge, without compromising the cultural integrity of his characters. The band members seem to take on the gamut of problems faced by Indians on the reservation today, battling everything from alcoholism to violence, political corruption to sexual abuse.
Ghosts from the past, both personal and historical haunt the musicians, serving both to hold them back and urge them on. It would seem that the scars of abuse run deep." (The Commercial Appeal, June 11, 1995)
"Alexie mixes biting black humor, a healthy dose of magic, and sparkling lyricism to produce a remarkably powerful story with roots not only in Native American mythology, but also in the equally potent history of rock 'n' roll." Bill Ott, Booklist
"Hilarious but poignant, filled with enchantments yet dead-on accurate with regard to modern Indian life, this tour de force will leave readers wondering if Alexie himself hasn't made a deal with the Gentleman in order to do everything so well." Publishers Weekly
Sherman Alexie has been hailed as one of the best writers we have" (The Nation). Reservation Blues is his irresistibly stunning debut novel" (San Francisco Chronicle). One day legendary bluesman Robert Johnson appears on the Spokane Indian reservation, in flight from the devil and presumed long dead. When he passes his enchanted instrument to Thomas-Builds-the-Fire—storyteller, misfit, and musician—a magical odyssey begins that will take them from reservation bars to small-town taverns, from the cement trails of Seattle to the concrete canyons of Manhattan. This is a fresh, luxuriantly comic tale of power, tragedy, and redemption among contemporary Native Americans.
In this bestselling winner of the American Book Award, the life of Spokane Indian Thomas Builds-the-Fire irrevocably changes when blues legend Robert Johnson miraculously appears on his reservation and passes the misfit storyteller his enchanted guitar.
About the Author
Sherman J. Alexie, Jr., was born in October 1966. A Spokane/Coeur d'Alene Indian, he grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, Washington, about 50 miles northwest of Spokane. Approximately 1,100 Spokane Tribal members live there. Alexie's father is a Coeur d'Alene Indian, and his mother is a Spokane Indian.
Born hydrocephalic, with water on the brain, Alexie underwent a brain operation at the age of 6 months and was not expected to survive. When he did beat the odds, doctors predicted he would live with severe mental retardation. Though he showed no signs of this, he suffered severe side effects, such as seizures and uncontrollable bed-wetting, throughout his childhood. In spite of all this, Alexie learned to read by age three, and devoured novels, such as John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, by age five. All these things ostracized him from his peers and he was often the brunt of other kids' jokes on the reservation.
As a teenager, after finding his mother's name written in a textbook he was assigned at the Wellpinit school, Alexie made a conscious decision to attend high school off the reservation in Reardan, WA, where he knew he would get a better education. At Reardan High he was "the only Indian...except for the school mascot." There he excelled academically and became a star player on the basketball team.
He graduated from Reardan High and went on to attend Gonzaga University in Spokane on scholarship in 1985. After two years at Gonzaga, he transferred to Washington State University (WSU) in Pullman.
Alexie planned to be a doctor until he "fainted three times in human anatomy class and needed a career change." That change was fueled when he stumbled into a poetry workshop at WSU. Encouraged by poetry teacher Alex Kuo, Alexie excelled at writing and realized he'd found his new career choice. Shortly after graduating in American Studies from WSU, Alexie received the Washington State Arts Commission Poetry Fellowship in 1991 and the National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship in 1992.
Not long after receiving his second fellowship, and just one year after he left WSU, two of his poetry collections - The Business of Fancydancing and I Would Steal Horses - were published. Alexie had a problem with alcohol that began soon after he started college at Gonzaga, but after learning that Hanging Loose Press agreed to publish The Business of Fancydancing, he immediately gave up drinking, at the age of 23, and has been sober ever since.
Alexie continued to write prolifically and his first collection of short stories, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, was published by Atlantic Monthly Press in 1993. For his collection he received a PEN/Hemingway Award for Best First Book of Fiction, and was awarded a Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Writers' Award.
Alexie was named one of Granta's Best of Young American Novelists and won the Before Columbus Foundation's American Book Award and the Murray Morgan Prize for his first novel, Reservation Blues, published in 1995 by Atlantic Monthly Press. His second novel, Indian Killer, published in 1996, also by Atlantic Monthly Press, was named one of People's Best of Pages and a New York Times Notable Book.
Alexie occasionally does reading and stand-up performances with musician Jim Boyd, a Colville Indian. Alexie and Boyd also collaborated to record the album Reservation Blues, which contains the songs from the book of the same name. One of the Reservation Blues songs, "Small World" [WAV], also appeared on Talking Rain: Spoken Word & Music from the Pacific Northwest and Honor: A Benefit for the Honor the Earth Campaign. In 1996 Boyd and Alexie opened for the Indigo Girls at a concert to benefit the Honor the Earth Campaign.
In 1997, Alexie embarked on another artistic collaboration. Chris Eyre, a Cheyenne/Arapaho Indian, discovered Alexie's writing while doing graduate work at New York University's film school. Through a mutual friend, they agreed to collaborate on a film project inspired by Alexie's work.
The basis for the screenplay was "This is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona," a short story from The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. Shadow Catcher Entertainment produced the film. Released as Smoke Signals at the Sundance Film Festival in January 1998, the movie won two awards: the Audience Award and the Filmmakers Trophy.
After success at Sundance, Smoke Signals found a distributor, Miramax Films, and was released in New York and Los Angeles on June 26 and across the country on July 3. In 1999 the film received a Christopher Award, an award presented to the creators of artistic works "which affirm the highest values of the human spirit." Alexie was also nominated for the Independent Feature Project/West 1999 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay.
In the midst of releasing Smoke Signals, Alexie competed in his first World Heavyweight Poetry Bout competition in June 1998. He went upp agaaaaainst world champion Jimmy Santiago Baca and won the Bout, and then went on to win the title again over the next three years, becoming the first poet to hold the title for three and four consecutive years. He is the current reigning World Heavyweight Poetry Bout Champion.
Known for his exceptional humor and performance ability, Alexie made his stand-up debut at the Foolproof Northwest Comedy Festival in Seattle, WA, in April 1999, and was the featured performer at the Vancouver International Comedy Festival's opening night gala in July 1999.
In 1998, Alexie participated with seven others in the PBS Lehrer News Hour Dialogue on Race with President Clinton. The discussion was moderated by Jim Lehrer and originally aired on PBS on July 9, 1998.
In June 1999, The New Yorker acknowledged Alexie as one of the top writers for the 21st Century. He was one of twenty writers featured in the magazine's Summer Fiction Edition, "20 Writers for the 21st Century."
Alexie was a 1999 O. Henry Award juror, and was one of the judges for the 2000 inaugural PEN/Amazon.com Short Story Award. He was also a member of the 2000 Independent Spirit Awards Nominating Committee - the awards for independent film.
Alexie is the guest editor for the Winter 2000 issue of Ploughshares, a prestigious literary journal.
Alexie, who resides with his wife and two sons in Seattle, WA, has published 14 books to date, including his most recent collection of short stories, The Toughest Indian in the World, and his newly released poetry collection, One Stick Song.

The summary below is from the full report titled "Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Children and Adolescents in a Hyperendemic Area: 15 Years after Mass Hepatitis B Vaccination." It is in the 6 November 2001 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 135, pages 796-800). The authors are Y-H Ni, M-H Chang, L-M Huang, H-L Chen, H-Y Hsu, T-Y Chiu, K-S Tsai, and D-S Chen.
Hepatitis B is an inflammation of the liver caused by a virus. The virus spreads from person to person through contact with infected body fluids. For example, the virus can be spread through sexual intercourse or contaminated needles or blood or from mother to baby at birth. Most people with hepatitis B recover within a few months, but some develop chronic inflammation, permanent scarring (cirrhosis), or liver cancer. Vaccines that contain small amounts of dead or altered virus can boost the body's normal defense (immune) system and help prevent hepatitis B and related complications. Taiwan has had very high rates of hepatitis B. In the mid-1980s, Taiwan began a program of universal hepatitis B vaccination for newborns, school children, teenagers, and young adults. This study describes the success of that program.
To describe the effects of a universal vaccination program against hepatitis B in Taiwan.
1357 persons younger than 15 years of age who were born after the vaccination program began and 559 persons 15 to 20 years of age who were born before the program began.
Study participants were recruited from well-baby clinics and schools in a single district of Taipei City. They gave blood samples that were tested for evidence of hepatitis B. The researchers compared markers of past infection (antibodies to the hepatitis virus called anti-HBc) and markers of a chronic infectious or carrier state (hepatitis surface antigen, called HbsAg) between people born before and those born after the vaccination program began.
Approximately 20% of participants born before the vaccination program had evidence of hepatitis B (anti-HBc) compared with 3% of those born later. About 10% of participants born before the vaccination program were chronic carriers of hepatitis B virus (HBsAg-positive) compared with less than 1% of those born since the program began.
Taiwan has had very high rates of hepatitis B, and at least 80% of children and young adults have been vaccinated under this universal program. Vaccine programs may be less effective in places where hepatitis B is uncommon or if less than 80% of the target population actually gets vaccinated.
Universal vaccination of children and young adults can significantly decrease hepatitis B and chronic carrier states.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- New Fab 5, same old No. 1.
Lee County opened as the preseason No. 1 team in The Herald's Fab 5 poll, and is still there after the first week of play.
Lee has been there a lot longer. The Trojans moved into the No. 1 spot after opening night last year (a year ago this week), and stayed at No. 1 through the final 10 weeks of the 2010 season.
How long can Lee County stay at No. 1?
The Trojans don't play either No. 2 Westover or No. 3 Albany High, but they had an impressive 38-7 win against No. 5 Monroe in a preseason scrimmage.
This isn't the same Lee County team from a year ago. The Trojans lost more talent than any team in the area, but that lop-sided scrimmage win against Monroe proved there's enough back this year to make another run at the playoffs, and as long as the Trojans stay unbeaten they will be at the top of the poll.
The big question last week was how would Westover and Albany High, two programs that are on the rise, handle the pressure of being ranked in the Fab 5 poll.
Just ask Mitchell County and Dougherty.
Westover had its most impressive win in years, beating Mitchell, which opened the season ranked No. 5 in the poll, 42-7. Westover has come a long way in just one year under Octavia Jones, and the second year coach expects more of the same.
"I told them before the game that if they didn't score 40 points that I will be disappointed,'' Jones said after the win.
Westover is going to live and die right up front, because the Patriots are big and talented on the offensive and defensive lines. Teams are going to have a problem running against Westover and Dynamite Dozen defensive tackle Chris Green, and they will also have trouble stopping the run. Dalviness Green rushed for 95 yards in the first quarter and finished with 202 yards and two TDs against Mitchell.
"We want to control the ball and control the line of scrimmage,'' Jones said. "We believe our strength is in our offensive line and our defense.''
Albany High looked just as powerful -- maybe more so -- in a 39-7 opening night against city rival Dougherty. The Indians led 32-0 at halftime. The magic number in the first half was 4. Albany High quarterback Emmanul Byrd threw four TD passes in the first half while Albany's defense held Dougherty to just four yards of offense.
Albany High's defense made six sacks and had eight other plays for either no gain or a loss, and shut Dougherty out all night until Alfred Brown scored on a 26-yard run with 28 seconds left against the backups.
It's never too early for a big showdown, and when Westover and Albany High meet Saturday night at Hugh Mills Stadium it could ultimately decide the city title. No one is counting out Monroe, or a resurgence from Dougherty, but Saturday's matchup will definitely shake up the Fab 5.
"This game is going to come down to whoever controls the line of scrimmage,'' said Albany coach Felton Williams, who feels his offensive and defensive lines are pretty strong, too.
Both lines are anchored by Roscoe Byrd and Jontavious Morris, two Dynamite Dozen players who play both ways and also share co-captain duties for the team.
Seminole County stays at No. 4 this week because the Indians, who were short of players, played a classic game before suffering a bitter, 43-40, loss to fifth-ranked Wesleyan, which scored on a 60-yard screen pass with 1:30 left in the game.
Monroe moves up replacing Mitchell County at No. 5. The Tornadoes looked like a top 5 team in beating Terrell County, 26-0, and sophomore QB Charles Stafford looked like the real deal, throwing for 239 yards and three TDs.

In reporting on the Bush administration's allegations about Iran's role in Iraq, media outlets have covered the matter in a muddled, incomplete manner, omitting any skeptical or critical analysis of these allegations, which suggests, in the words of washingtonpost.com's Dan Froomkin, that "the lessons we should have learned from Iraq may not have been learned at all."
NBC News' Andrea Mitchell did not challenge Sen. John McCain aide Rick Davis when he asserted that Terry Nelson was not "behind" a campaign ad attacking Rep. Harold Ford Jr. that was criticized as racist. In fact, Nelson was head of the political unit that paid for the ad and presumably in a position to sign off on its creation and broadcast.
NBC's Andrea Mitchell asserted that President Bush "has proved he can be pragmatic," citing instances in which Bush has reversed course on major policy and staff decisions. But during the 2004 presidential campaign, Mitchell uncritically repeated GOP characterizations of purported shifts by Sen. John Kerry as "flip-flops."
Two weeks after gushing over John McCain's likely presidential bid, the host and panelists on The Chris Matthews Show concluded that some of Hillary Rodham Clinton's greatest perceived strengths as a presidential candidate were really weaknesses.
NBC News' Andrea Mitchell baselessly suggested that making "robocalls," such as the one "being used in Illinois against [Democratic congressional candidate] Tammy Duckworth" is "the kind of procedure that both parties have used -- clearly -- but the Republicans have used it more this year than not."
Even though former President Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton have both said they support Sen. Joe Lieberman's primary election and will also support whichever Democrat wins the primary -- Lieberman or Ned Lamont -- in the general election, NBC News' Andrea Mitchell argued that there is "somewhat of a split" between the Clintons' views on Lieberman's re-election campaign.
NBC News' Andrea Mitchell falsely suggested that the United States, unlike China, does not import oil from Venezuela and Nigeria. However, according the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA), the United States imports significant quantities of oil from Venezuela and Nigeria. In fact, in January 2006, Venezuela was the second-largest source of imported oil to the United States, after Canada.

The U.S. House of Representatives, by a vote of 380 to 41, has passed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act [link to House Bill], in the form previously approved by the Senate last week [link to Senate Amendment]. The bill now goes to President Obama, who is expected to sign it into law. The JOBS Act could significantly impact community banks, among other businesses, regarding the categories summarized below.
SEC Registration
The JOBS Act increases the threshold for SEC registration from 500 shareholders of record to 2,000 shareholders of record for banks and bank holding companies. The increase allows some banks to raise capital by selling stock to new investors without having to register under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.… Continue Reading

Veteran Sydney midfielder Ryan O'Keefe says he can play for a few more years yet and could join the Swans' growing list of AFL triple centurions.
The 31-year-old club stalwart notches his 250th AFL appearance on Sunday, when the ladder-leading Swans play Carlton at Etihad Stadium.
Renowned for his work ethic and stamina, O'Keefe shows no signs of slowing down and remains an integral part of Sydney's impressive on-ball rotation.
He averages 24 touches a game this season and has racked up two tallies of 36 and another of 39 in Sydney's past five games.
Michael O'Loughlin and Adam Goodes are the only players to have made 300 appearances for Sydney, Jude Bolton is four games away and O'Keefe would need to play on for at least two more seasons to notch his personal triple century.
"As long as my body is still fine and I'm still enjoying what I'm doing, you turn up to work and you love what you're doing, it sort of flies by and you can clock them up," O'Keefe said before training on Wednesday.
"But it (300 games) is a fair way down the track now, so I'll just worry about this year and keep enjoying my footy."
Asked if he had a gut feeling about how long he would play on for, O'Keefe - who is contracted through next season - said: "I don't know. I think I've got a few years left in me.
"The body is feeling as good as it did in my mid-twenties so I haven't even thought about (retiring)."
O'Keefe seems set to to finish his AFL career as a one-club man, though at one stage he looked set to leave the Swans.
He asked for a trade following the 2008 season, but no deal was done.
"I don't really think about it too much now - it was a fair while ago," O'Keefe said.
"I'm really enjoying my footy, it's a great list and a great bunch of guys to play with."
O'Keefe has played some of his best football over the past four seasons since successfully switching from half forward flank to the midfield.
"A few years ago, I needed a freshen-up change, a new challenge and asked if I could have a more permanent role in the midfield and it's worked out well for both parties, I think," O'Keefe said.

Did Anders Breivik Intend to Harm the Counter-jihad?
by Daniel Pipes
In the immediate aftermath of Anders Behring Breivik's terrorist attack in July 2011, I figured out from his writings that he is not himself a counter-jihadi but adopted the pretense of being one so that he could purposefully damage "conservatism, the counter-jihad, and (in particular) those authors he cited in his writings." This weblog entry pursues that interpretation.
Peder Jensen, who goes by the pseudonym Fjordman, was prepared to testify at the Behring Breivik trial but did not. He has posted his would-be testimony where he agreed with my theory, cited above, about the murderer's political intentions:
(June 12, 2012)
Jan. 24, 2014 update: Breivik has sent a letter to the media in which he makes more explicit than before that he is not an ally of those fighting Islamism; rather, he reveals his Nazi outlook."Baron Bodissey" provides the text of Breivik's letter and fleshes out its important implications today at the Gates of Vienna website.
He begins by noting the oddity that while many mainstream media publications – The Wall Street Journal, Die Welt, Dagbladet, ABC Nyheter, and Ekstra Bladet – "wrote about his claim that he had been tortured in prison. … none of them thought to mention that the killer had said he was just kidding about his ideological alignment with Islam-critics" who "have been harassed, threatened, fired, defunded, and exiled for 'inspiring' the madman's massacre." (For more on the MSM ignoring this aspect of the message,see Robert Spencer's analysis, where he notes that the mainstream media willfully left the public with the impression that Breivik is a counter-jihadi so as to discredit those of us who actually fight Islamism.)
"Baron Bodissey" then recounts his successful effort to get the Breivik letter, written in English and titled "Explanations, clarifications and the peace proposal – NRK, TV2, Aftenposten, VG and Dagbladet (<<the big five>
The first page of Anders Behring Breivik's September 2013 letter to the media.
The first page of Anders Behring Breivik's September 2013 letter to the media.
Returning to the media, "Baron Bodissey" points out that this new letter
Jan. 27, 2014 update: Fjordman reflects on the same issues in "Breivik's Confession and the Media's Silence," and specifically his alleged role as Breivik's mentor, at FrontPageMag.com.
Reflecting on Breivik, Fjordman offers two alternatives:
He then decides 1. is wrong, 2. is correct:
Fjordman then takes up the issue of media fraud:
Comments: (1) Breivik's Nazism could not be more clear. (2) His letter provides confirmation of my thesis about Breivik wanting to harm, not help, the counter-jihad. (3) Shame, once again, on the mainstream media for burying an important document that does not fit its damage. (4) So much for fine-toothed statistical analyses of 2083; we now know Breivik's intentions directly from himself.

ASTM Introduces Perimeter Barriers Testing Standard
Nov 6, 2007 4:10 PM
ASTM International Committee F12 on Security Systems and Equipment has approved a new standard, F 2656, Test Method for Vehicle Crash Testing of Perimeter Barriers. The new test method, developed by Subcommittee F12.10 on Systems, Products and Services, provides a range of vehicle impact conditions, designations and penetration performance levels for the testing of perimeter barriers that are used to prevent attacks on facilities by moving vehicles.
According to Dean Alberson, assistant agency director, Texas Transportation Institute, and a member of Subcommittee F12.10, prior to the publication of F 2656, the U.S. State Department had the only standard for testing of perimeter security devices. However, in 2003, that document was modified and penetration ratings were dropped from it. Because these ratings were still extensively used, particularly by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Committee F12 agreed to develop F 2656.
In addition to penetration ratings, F 2656 also features occupant risk indices and a variety of different sized test vehicles including a small car, a pickup and a heavy single unit vehicle.
"Anybody who desires to have their perimeter barriers tested now has a standard method that can be used by any number of test labs," says Alberson. "F 2656 also serves to standardize the testing methodology across a number of different agencies." Alberson says that laboratories will use F 2656 when testing devices, and agencies such as the U.S. Department of State and the Army Corps of Engineers will issue lists of devices that have met the various levels within the standard.
All interested parties are invited to participate in the standards activities of Subcommittee F12.10. In addition to future revisions to F 2656, the subcommittee will be working on a proposed new standard for the testing of barriers for pedestrian protection.

East Bridgewater High boys soccer coach Bill Silvia may have seen his season flash before his eyes Tuesday.
East Bridgewater High boys soccer coach Bill Silvia may have seen his season flash before his eyes Tuesday.
His Vikings trailed Monomoy 1-0 with 20 minutes remaining in the second half while needing to win two of their final three games to make the tourney. Norwell and Rockland, who both stand near the top of the South Shore League, were looming as EB's final two games.
Thanks to two late goals, the Vikings (7-7-2) are now a win away from tourney play with two games remaining.
"The joke in the huddle is that we're a second-half team," said Silva. "We've been that way all year long."
Two minutes after Monomoy scored the opening goal, EB's Kevin Ogbana evened it up with a penalty kick goal.
With just four minutes left, D.J. Adams chipped one past an aggressive Monomoy keeper to give the Vikings the much-needed win.
Midfielders Alex Carey and Cam Trop also played well.
In other boys soccer action:
Middleboro 8, Cathedral 0: A.J. St. Onge scored two goals, as the Sachems picked up their first win. Dan Breen, Sebastian Cervin-Diaz, Cam Amaral, Kevin Leech, Max Studley and David Cleary also scored.
Bridgewater-Raynham 1, Hanover 0: Amanda Crisfulla scored the winner for the Trojans (9-3-4) while freshman Cailey Sullivan recorded the shutout. Kylie Grenier and Destiny Ribiero played well.
Brockton 1, New Bedford 0: Maral Merian scored the winner in the 49th minute for the Boxers (9-5-2, 3-0-1 in Big Three). The win clinches the Big Three title for the Boxers.
East Bridgewater 15, Abington 50: Behind sisters Alicia (first) and Cheryl Cutter (second), the Vikings (8-2) picked up the South Shore League win. Jess Jacobson, Emily Mulloy and Kerry Cullinane rounded out the top five in order.
Bridgewater-Raynham 19, Dartmouth 40: The Trojans (9-0, 4-0 in Old Colony League) took their second consecutive OCL title with freshman Emma Frazier taking first. Alicia Porter, Kayla Porter, Devin Burns and Emily Bumpus finished third through sixth, respectively.
Whitman-Hanson 16, Duxbury 40: The Panthers (9-0) have now been undefeated Patriot Keenan Division champs the past seven years. Sam Coletti placed first in 21:10 over the 5K. Kelsey Tierney, Megan Concannon and Abie Newman rounded out the top four.
Norwell 15, Rockland 50: Lilly Margolis finished 11th for the Bulldogs.
West Bridgewater 18, Diman 45; WB 25, Bristol Aggie 32: Alison Wyman (15:41) finished first over the 2.6-mile course to help the Wildcats (10-0) claim their ninth straight Mayflower League title. Charlotte Allen finished fourth.
East Bridgewater 24, Abington 35: Nick Frazier took first for the Vikings (6-4) in 17:15 over the 3-mile course. Brett Jutras (second), Leo Luchetti (sixth) and Nick Dhimitiri (seventh) also ran well for EB.
Page 2 of 2 - Nick Sideropoulos (third) and Chris Fandra (fourth) led the Green Wave.
Dartmouth 20, Bridgewater-Raynham 35 : The top five runners for Bridgewater-Raynham were Dan Russell, Anthony Sorrenti, Chris Spivey, Trey Sheridan and Mike DeBruin.
Whitman-Hanson 15, Duxbury 50: The win clinches the Patriot Keenan Division title for the Panthers (8-1). Brian Sheppard won the 5K in 17:11, while teammates Tyler Durant, Sam Evans, Pat Brett and Lukas Moscoso rounded out the top five in order.
West Bridgewater 19, Diman 44; WB 19, Bristol Aggie 41: The Wildcats claimed the Mayflower League title and finished the year 10-0. Adam Petti finished first in 13:49 over the 2.6-mile course. Shane Healy finished third.
West Bridgewater 5, Bridgewater-Raynham 0: Seniors Emma Kincaid, Ally Mills and Priscilla Martinez all scored goals on senior day for the Wildcats (13-1-3). Ashley Congdon and Hannah Galbato also scored.
Apponequet 1, Bishop Stang 0: Lizzy Loranger tallied her 30th goal of the season for Apponequet (17-0).
Stoughton 4, Milford 1: Anna Russell scored twice. Samantha Mattie and Emma Sinkus had the other goals.

The 'King' is back-A A +A
Saturday, March 8, 2014
BAGO City's pride and now WBO International super flyweight titlist "King" Arthur Villanueva is home after a tough fight of his career in "Pinoy Pride XXIV: The Future is Now" last March 1 at the Solaire Resort and Casino Grand Ballroom in Parañaque City.
Villanueva arrived last night in Bacolod from a short stop in Cebu City, the base of ALA Gym and ALA Promotions, which plans to send him for US training together with Albert "Prince" Pagara of Misamis City.
The "King" survived the unscouted substitute Mexican fighter Fernando Aguilar via a unanimous decision in the undercard match of the Genesis "Azukal" Servania-Alexander "El Explosivo" Muñoz title fight.
The undefeated champion, true to his apprehension and his adjusting against the replacement atop the ring, unexpectedly fought below par in what was supposedly a walk in the park. The champion fought toe-to-toe against Aguilar and has to use all the tricks in his bag until the last bell.
Villanueva had a point-deduction early in the third due to a low blow and later warned for a huge cut on Aguilar's face caused by accidental head butt.
Things were not on Villanueva's side until Aguilar too, was called for two low blows that eventually changed the match's result.
"Those blows really affected my performance. It really hurts," he said.
Villanueva, who at times was slow in getting out when cornered, pulled a victory after favorable scores from judges Gerald Tomeldan (94- 93), Gil Co (95- 92), and Atty. Danrex Tapdasan (96-91).
Bacolod pride and WBO Inter-Continental super bantamweight champion Genesis Servania will most likely to return to Bacolod this week from Cebu.
"Azukal" is resting and recuperating from the cut on his upper left eyebrow, which needed 10 stitches, inflected by an accidental head butt from Muñoz.
The champion retained his belt bravely brawling with a bloody face from Round 6 to cap a 12th round stoppage on Muñoz with 2:22 minutes in the final round.
Servania started with a commanding performance in the early rounds with heavy punches on the Venezuelan but the visitor stood firm, and managed to stand up despite hitting the canvas twice. He threw strong punches in the 10th and 11th rounds but Muñoz still managed to counter.
A hard right from Servania sent Muñoz for good forcing referee-lawyer Danrex Tapdasan to stop the contest.*

There are two sides to every story concerning tea party Republicans who are correct to be critical of Republican House Speaker John Boehner. The adopted budget for 2014 and 2015 is a disaster for those who advocate fiscal restraint, balanced budgets, no tax increases and reduction in long term debt. Billions in "user fee" increases are just hidden taxes to pay for more social programs advocated by Democrats. Promised savings of $85 billion over 10 years accompanied by a $23 billion reduction in debt is just creative book keeping. How can anyone not find far more on a yearly basis in savings out of a $3 trillion dollar plus budget?
There are just as many good managers in the government as in the private sector. If their superiors would give them the authority and flexibility to manage budgets, they could find far more savings than members of Congress and the president have proposed. Millions of Americans have cut far more out of their family budgets and managed to survive. Why can't our elected officials do likewise? There is no guarantee that future budgets adopted by Congress and signed off by presidents will enforce these commitments that exist only on paper. Both the Congress and president on a bipartisan basis are just kicking the can to 2015 and beyond instead of dealing with our financial crises today.
In reality, this budget doesn't even reduce the level for future growth in spending to a slightly lower level than what President Obama has consistently advocated.
Everyone has forgotten that decades ago balanced budgets were supported on a bipartisan basis by both the President and Congress regardless of which party was in control. Neither the Republicans or Democrats in Congress or President Obama offer a real balanced budget anytime soon. If tea party Republicans wanted this toxic brew Boehner is serving, they might as well have voted for Democratic House candidates and bring back Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. At least with Pelosi, what you see is what you get.
Here are some ideas that Congress and the president could have been considering in dealing with Washington's runaway spending and long term debt.
President Obama and Congress could have frozen overall expenditures by adopting 2008 spending levels in 2014 funding bills for all Federal agencies. This would cut our spending up to a trillion dollars resulting in the end of borrowing and a real balanced budget. There was no public outcry from Democrats in 2008, including our own Senators Schumer and Gillibrand and our Congressional delegation, that the sky was falling when the annual federal budget was a trillion dollars less than it is today. They didn't say that a multi-trillion dollar safety net and Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid were going to end. The 2008 budget was prior to the one-time stimulus American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, TARP, auto industry bailouts, cash for clunkers and Obama Care expenditures. Now everything needs to be on the table, including the infamous "third rails" of American politics — Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and military spending. Any extension of the debt ceiling which will need to be resolved in January 2014 should be matched by corresponding real cuts in spending.
Implement "pay as you go" budgeting, means testing for all government assistance and sunset provisions for agencies and programs that have completed their missions. End pork-barrel member item spending, stop paying farmers to not grow crops and abolish corporate welfare subsides via tax deductions.
Close down obsolete military bases abroad. Don't buy multi-billion dollar new technology weapons systems that the Pentagon never asked for. All too often they end up being accompanied by huge cost overruns, multi-year delays and never meet performance expectations. Reduce United Nations and foreign aid to those who offer no support when needed. End the wasteful war in Afghanistan.
Have the IRS accelerate the collection of several hundred billion in uncollected back taxes owed by deadbeat individuals and corporations along with suspending billions in future tax refunds to those who continue failing to pay long overdue taxes or student loans.
Stop wasting billions of dollars on the war on drugs.
Everyone needs to do their fair share in bringing the budget deficit under control. It is time for government to destroy its own credit cards.
How ironic that after winning the Cold War against the Evil Empire of Communism, it may be mismanagement of our economy that results in a decline of our standard of living. It may also end our reign as the world's super power as we become the world super debtor nation.
Republicans should have offered a choice, not an echo to President Obama and the Democrats status quo of trillions in additional debt and uncontrolled spending.
How disappointing that everyone in Washington appears to be preoccupied with staying in power regardless of the cost to taxpayers.

The higher the level of education, the stronger the view that access to information is a basic human right.
"South Africans' strong views about the bill are rooted in our deep commitment to human rights on a grassroots level," says Mari Harris, Public Affairs Director at Ipsos.
This view that media freedom is a basic human right is supported by South Africans from all walks of life – men, women, young and old. South Africans who have had some education are more likely to share this view, however, and as the education level increases, so too does the belief that access to information is a basic human right, as evidenced in the graph below.
Six in every 10 (60%) blacks, 72% of Indians, 74% of coloureds and 76% of whites agree.
Split along party lines, more than six in every 10 (63%) ANC supporters share this view, while DA supporters feel even more strongly about the subject, with three quarters (76%) supporting media freedom as a basic human right.
Opposition to the Secrecy Bill
The view that the Secrecy Bill will limit media freedom is especially dominant among those with a tertiary education – 55% of this group agree that media freedom will be limited.
Looking at population groups, 51% of both whites and coloureds, 46% of blacks, and 40% of Indians agree.
Analysed along party lines, 53% of DA supporters believe the proposed information bill will limit media freedom. A slightly lower proportion (49%) of ANC supporters share their opinion.
Potential for corruption
Half (50%) of South Africans are of the opinion that, if the new information bill becomes law, it will be easier to hide corruption and fraud. This sentiment is more pronounced among DA supporters (60%) than ANC supporters (50%). Almost half of blacks (48%) and more than half of Indians (54%), coloureds (58%) and whites (59%) agree. Again, stronger views are linked to a higher level of education: 36% of those with no education, 47% of those with up to some high school, 50% of those who completed matric, and 64% of those with tertiary education agree.
* Currently only about four in every 10 South Africans believe the national government is doing well in fighting corruption: * 38% say they believe the government is doing very well or fairly well in fighting corruption in government * 42% say the government is doing very well or fairly well in maintaining transparency and accountability.
"The issue of corruption is one of the so-called red-light areas in the regular Ipsos Government Performance Barometer – which highlights the public's evaluation of government performance on 26 critical policy and service delivery areas," explains Harris. "If less than 50% of the public evaluate the government as doing well – that is doing "very well" or "fairly well" in a certain area – the issue is below the pass mark and is highlighted as a problem area, demanding urgent attention or corrective measures from government. The issue of corruption has been on the red-light list for a long time."
Technical aspects
* Fieldwork was carried out from October to November by trained and experienced fieldworkers * Face-to-face in-home interviews were conducted with a randomly chosen sample of 3 563 South Africans, 15 years and older, interviewed in the language preferred by the respondent. * The results were weighted and projected to the universe (ie adult South Africans).

Wests Tigers players found out little more than an hour before kick-off against the Sydney Roosters on Sunday that the mother of their captain Robbie Farah had lost her battle with pancreatic cancer.
Coach Tim Sheens had to talk distressed players through the news of Sonia Farah's death before the match.
And with Farah grieving with his family, stand-in captain Benji Marshall led an emotional side out onto Leichhardt Oval and shed tears on the field during the minute's silence.
The Tigers lost 42-28 and had their seven-match winning streak ended, but the day's other events loomed larger.
Farah sent a text to Marshall, Sheens and other players an hour and a half before kick-off, and Sheens described it as one of the most difficult days of his coaching career.
"I think they're feeling it right now ... more so now than before the game. I know the minute's silence really upset a few of them," said Sheens with players too upset to talk post-match.
"To talk about the game today seems a waste of time. It's something I'm not particularly interested in.
"It's a close club and the team will be there for Rob and his family.
"Beau (Ryan) spoke really well on behalf of the players ... that we were tight and would stick together and get Robbie through it.
"It's about Robbie this week."
Farah had played the game of his career last Wednesday night, making 63 tackles in a heroic performance for NSW in their win over Queensland.
He was only told after the match that his mother had been admitted to hospital and did not attend.
On Wednesday morning he will attend his mother's funeral after he was by her side in hospital when she passed away at the age of 63.
Sonia Farah's battle with cancer had been a source of inspiration for her son this season, ever since he was forced to fly back to Australia from England during last year's Four Nations tournament upon hearing of her diagnosis.
Wests Tigers chief executive Steve Humphreys said Farah and the rest of the team would be given all the time and support they need.
"He'll let us know how he wants to respond, we'll catch up with him over the next couple of days and let him determine when he's ready to come back," said Humphreys, who admitted the news could have an impact on the Tigers' season.
"It's certainly going to have a significant effect.
"With respect, we always knew Sonia's illness would have this impact this year but how that manifests itself we'll have to wait and see. I'm confident the boys and Robbie will respond in a positive way but at the end of the day they're human beings so we'll have to take it one day at a time."
Also on the field on Sunday, Gold Coast won their fourth match from the past five games when they beat Penrith 36-18.
Canterbury claimed second place on the ladder with Friday night's 28-20 win over St George Illawarra, and are joined by Brisbane (12-0 losers to North Queensland), South Sydney and Cronulla (victors over Parramatta and Warriors respectively) on 20 points.
Manly can join them if they overcome outright ladder-leaders Melbourne on Monday night.

I was Dr. Zeigler's patient, but had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Martinez and having an office visit with Dr. Mann. I had a great experience with all three doctors who were not only knowledgeable, supportive and kind, but also willing to patiently answer my unending lists of questions. Their staff was extremely nice and responsive as well. The nurse I was assigned, who was essentially my point person, always promptly returned my calls and indulged my every question and worry. From day one of my treatment I felt like we had a plan. I was thrilled when after only 5 months of treatment I was pregnant. On the day of my final visit, I asked Dr. Zeigler for a copy of my medical records, and I received the records the same day prior to leaving the office. Also, the facility was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. I highly recommend the Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.

We are forever grateful for Dr. Ziegler's help and are now blessed with our new baby. A little over a year ago we met Dr. Ziegler since we were having difficulty conceiving. He discovered my wife had some contributing factors that needed to be addressed via surgery, in addition to a multi-step plan of action. Turns out all it took was the surgery and we were able to conceive. Dr. Ziegler is very knowledgeable, explained to us the process in detail, and his staff was very friendly. We can't thank Dr. Ziegler enough!

Thank goodness for Dr. Ziegler and the Reproductive Science Center. It's because of them that we have our miracle daughter and are pregnant with baby #2. They are supportive, knowledgeable, patient, and exactly what your family needs if you struggle with fertility.

Dr. Ziegler is kind, patient and knowledgable. He takes the time to answer all your questions, and you never feel rushed. He truly wants what is best for his patients and customizes what he feels is the best 'game plan' for them. In my eyes he is the BEST.

I spent a year and a half with this office only to have poor results (no embryos frozen from IVF and IUIs failed) and Dr Z recommending donor eggs at our last visit. I switched to RMANJ down the street, got pregnant in 2 months with my own eggs, and even have embryos frozen.. Run!

Dr. Ziegler is an amazing dr. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful. He sits with you and explains everything giving you websites and handouts as welk as his own knowledge. After meeting with another dr, went to Dr. Ziegler and left happy with no pit in my stomach.

Great and wonderful experience the entire time and can't say enough about the positive atmosphere exhibited by the doctors and entire staff. We would highly recommend this office to anyone seeking to have children through IVF.

To the Staff of the Reproductive Science Center of NJ,
My husband and I came to the office about a year ago (2013) with the concern of not having a baby… We were trying on our own for over a year with no success. Our first appointment with Dr. Ziegler was very informative he discussed in detail what kinds of testing we would have to go through. However the first Ultrasound he did reveal that I would need Surgery to repair a Septum. He also discovered that I had fibroids, a cyst and mild endometriosis.
After the surgery we had discussed that we try IVF. During this time the staff was extremely helpful and very polite. They were very organized and through. I have never received such care and manner in an office before.
We tried the IVF for one cycle, and the outcome was amazing. We are pregnant with our first child. Our son is due January 2015.
Words cannot describe how grateful we are to Dr. Ziegler for this gift. I would highly recommend him and his office if you are seeking help in trying to have a child.
Thank you,
Andrea and Michael Siano, Jackson NJ

This is the worse place to go to. The staff are rude, ruthless, uncooperative. The doctor does not give any result in his treatment, just cost tons of money. You can never reach the doctor by phone/email (he refuses to give them out for lame reasons. For each visit, be ready to wait at least 1 hour. That was what happened in my cases. 3 times visit, 6 hours of waiting (1 hour each for me and my husband). Last but not least, it is nearly impossible to ask for medical records. They told you they sent them to you but they did not and wanted to charge 1USD for each page if the medical records need to be sent again. Warning: If the receptionist doesn't like you, she will put you on the waiting/hold without prior notice whenever she hears your voice. Completely unbelievable. Ruthless people. Stay away from this place.

My husband and I absolutely love Dr. Ziegler and all of his staff! Our whole experience was wonderful! Dr. Ziegler is extremely thorough, kind, and knowledgable. I always felt comfortable and important while I was under his care. Every nurse, doctor, PA, receptionist, etc. that I encountered treated me with such respect. Going through treatment for infertility is not a walk in the park, but their patience and reassurance made my experience wonderful and brought me to my goal! I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Ziegler and I hope you will let him make miracles happen for you too!!!

It was ok until I tried to wash it and all of the bristles fell off. I wouldn't recommend it even if it's cheap. I'd much rather recommend their powder brush, that one looks so pretty and can be used for blusher as well, plus it doesn't shed.

This is my HG brow brush- the only thing I use for filling in my brows (with Quo brow powder). I've been using it for over three years, originally purchased because the price was great. I've bought a few over those years (from when they used to be pink, to the current purple brush), because I felt my current one must be getting worn out, but comparing the new and old ones reveals they don't really get worn out. So I have a few extra, for spacing out cleaning and using with other makeup.
I find that it's stiff enough without being too hard, and has just enough give. The length is great, too. It gives nice clean lines and I can get it thin enough. Cleaning hasn't given me any problems, though I am possibly over-gentle with my brushes.
I've also used this for gel liner (the intended purpose), and find it really suitable for that, as well. I'm more into it as a brow brush because I've used it daily for so long. I've recommended it in person because this brush is so great.

I'm so obsessed, I use this brush with my Maybelline gel eyeliner and IT IS AMAZING!!! Very high quality, got one for my sister too but I'm planning to grab another one or two for myself just because I really don't like cleaning it everyday. (Although I still use it dirty for another day) It's sooo easy to do the perfect cat eye and I can create the thinnest lines with it. I would highly recommend!

For some reason when I use certain brushes they just poke my eye, but this did not. When I bought it I wasn't sure if my eye could yet it did. It puts on the colour really good and is easy to use. The only con would have the be that the handle thing feels a little like wood but still smooth. Also for the price it s totally worth it and would recommend it to people with 'sensitive eyes'. :) ♥

My fave gel eyeliner brush! This is a very high quality brush for such a low price it's obscene! Essence has always impressed me w the quality & prices of their products which don't reflect each other. I've only ever seen Essence makeup in the USA at Ulta (unfortunately since I hate Ulta, but Essence isn't considered prestige makeup so u can take advantage of the Ulta coupons in the Sunday circular which are usually $3.50 off $10 or something similar, 15%, etc). This brush works so well w Essence gel eyeliner (I use 01 Midnight In Paris, I think they may have DC other gel liner colors & to me excluding the other colors OR this brush is an unwise unsound business decision). I also have 1 of these brushes for using on my Benefit Brow Zings. I tried to buy more of these brushes at Ulta, but I've not seen them the past last couple of times & an Ulta SA mentioned that she thought she heard that Ulta has eliminated them from their stock. Wah!!! I did find that my 1st brush got a bit sloppy after having it for about 1 pot of gel liner, so I broke out a backup. I think the poor dear was just worn out coz I had used it almost every day for over 6 months (guesstimate?). If I ever see these brushes again I will snap them all up. They make the best 1960s wings esp using clear tape on the corners as guides. I feel like I have a lot of control w this brush, it doesn't make super fine lines like a liquid but the lines come out neat & reasonably thin or thick which ever u want for that day's look.

I picked up a few of these at my local Shoppers Drug Mart after watching a couple of youtubers recommend it. I needed something relatively cheap but effective for my gel eyeliner as I'm too lazy to clean the brushes every day. I'm not about to drop another $18-25 for a doubles of my higher end brushes ( I have the Sephora flat eyeliner and MAC 210 - and yes I know they are different shape/style brushes)
I usually tightline but it's great for days I want to do a nice cat eye as well. I've found that this one doesn't feel as if it pokes me as hard when I'm tightlining with my Sephora brush.
I have both the older purple bristle one and the newer pink bristle one. The pink bristles are shorter than the purple one but other than that, they work the same to me. I did notice that the pink one hasn't shed any bristles on me yet while the purple one has during cleaning. I bought them within 2 weeks of each other - the purple was on clearance for $1. I loved it so much I went back and picked up the pink one for $2/each.
Love, love it.

I had this for a while. For the first few months, it worked fine. I used it for filling in my brows and lining my eyes. One day, I was cleaning it and as I was squeezing the excess water from the bristles, a bunch came out. So I would recommend being gentle and use a tissue to cover the wet bristles and gently squeeze. Over time, the bristles came out one by one but I still continued to use it because it was still useable. The one fine day, as I was filling in my brows, all the bristles just when inside the hole, if you get what I mean. I used my hand to pull it out a bit and it was very clear that it came loose. I filled in my brows again and with pressure against the bristles, it just went back inside again. I am gonna need a new one. I hope this problem wouldn't happen again when I buy another one. What does that mean? Yes, it means I would still repurchase.

Septic Tank Maintenance
Septic tank systems are on-site mini-sewage plants designed to safely dispose of biological sanitary waste within the boundaries of its owner's property.
A septic tank system consists of two main parts — a "septic tank" where natural bacterial action decomposes human waste into environmentally acceptable components – and a dispersion field. Also called a drainfield or effluent field.
The septic tank contains water, sludge and scum. The sludge is the pooey, gooey stuff that sinks to the bottom of the tank and the scum is the fatty crust that floats on the top of the tank. The sludge is mostly decomposed faeces and food scraps and the scum is fat and soap residue.
Between the scum and the sludge is the water – the water you use to flush the toilets, empty out of your kitchen sink, bath and shower. Each time you flush the toilet or empty the sink Archimedes' Principal comes into effect – an equal weight of liquid overflows from the other end of the septic tank out into the drainfield, buried beneath your garden.
The liquid leaving the tank should have had time to become separated from its accompanying faeces, toilet paper, food, soap residue and should be quite clear – if you are using your system with the care it needs to operate properly.
As time goes by the scum and the sludge builds and as the layers get thicker, the water layer gets narrower and periodically the whole thing needs to be stirred up into a slurry, pumped out and disposed of. This is important to realise — your poos, toilet paper, food gunk, soap residue aren't disposed of in the septic tank, merely collected for disposal later, usually every three years or so.
Any gases created in the process are vented to the atmosphere via the plumbing vent system (the mushroom). It's also very important to make sure the mushroom vent is clear and able to breath.
From the septic tank, the relatively clear liquid flows out to disperse over a large, sub-soil, drainfield consisting of a rock-filled trench, or network of trenches. The trench material defines the drainfield from the surrounding soil and acts as a filter to remove remaining small solids that may be suspended in the liquid.
This liquid seeps through the rock material and into the surrounding sub-soil where it becomes part of the moist sub-soil environment.
Some systems, especially those installed or renewed since the early 1980s, may consist of two separate tanks — one tank for the toilets, kitchen sink and dishwasher (brown water) and a smaller side-tank for the washing machine water (grey water). These may share the drainfield or have separate fields.
This is to stop the high volume of waste water from modern washing machines "flushing" through the septic tank disturbing the bacterial decomposing and separating process.
Conventional septic systems are not care free. They require regular maintenance. The undigested solids in the septic tank should be pumped out every two to four years. If the sludge is not removed periodically, it will eventually carry over into the drainfield and cause the field to block up with gunk, become saturated and generally fail to work— and then you have real problems.
It's not the septic tank that fails, but the drainfield. It is at risk of becoming "gunked up" and unusable. Replacing a failed drainfield is a real pain. Say hello to major earthworks. Say goodbye to thousands of dollars.
A well-designed system can handle a minimum amount of normal household chemicals such as laundry detergent and bleach; but excessive usage can be detrimental. Look for cleaning products recommended for use with septic tanks. Do not pour away chemicals that are toxic to the bacteria, such as paint thinners, solvents, insecticides, etc. Absolutely do not pour products such as NapiSan down the sink. It is the system's worst enemy.
Cooking fats and oils should also be avoided. Undersink garbage disposal units are a no-no.
Some of Wainui's more recently built homes may have the latest multi-tank, aerated systems which claim to treat the water to a higher degree of purity before releasing it to the sub-soil drainfield.
People who have invested in such systems should have been provided with operating manuals and may have maintenance schedules that differ from the older systems. However the general concept is the same – care and respect at all times.
Ideally a tank should receive a small quantity of wastewater from shower and toilet use at breakfast, then be given eight hours rest during the day for the bacteria in the tank to Remember septic tanks systems were designed for households with rainwater tanks. The conservation practises used to save water are the practises needed to run a septic tank system. They are not designed for heavy water use.
Guides to septic tank care
There are many types of on-site wastewater treatment systems – the most common type of system is the septic tank and disposal field. On-site systems need to be designed and installed correctly and they require regular maintenance to work effectively. If your system fails it will cause a dirty, smelly and potential costly mess.
A failing system can put your family's health at risk and it may also pollute the water in local streams, rivers or wells with pathogens and nutrients that are harmful to humans and the environment. To learn more about septic tanks and how to look after them see The Story of your Septic Tank System pamphlet (PDF 1.6MB) produced by the New Zealand Water and Waste Association and the Ministry for the Environment.
Waitakere City Council has a useful website.
The Smarter Homes website's sewerage system's overview is a good source of information on choosing and maintaining septic tanks.

Police are being trained to use the device because the officers are often the first to arrive at the scene of a health crisis or an accident. The machines, which cost about $2,000 a piece, were purchased with a grant, explains Chief Sam Leonard. East Carbon is one of few departments in the state that will have one in every vehicle. The machines have a built in instruction program that speaks to the operators. The batteries will last five years and replacements will cost about $80. Even if the defibrillators save only one life, the devices are well worth the money spent to secure the machines, points out Chief Leonard.

It doesn't have to be just a woman. It can be a male who has had many sexual conquests and bragged about it, like Batista who pretty much nailed half the diva roster.(And made enemies with ones who didn't fall for his advances, like Shelly and Mickie.)For me..this thread will probably start and end with Missy Hyatt. The woman goes through guys like she changes her underwear. The list of guys she had is endless. Not to mention all the cosmetic surgery she had gotten over the years to the point where she looks like Alfred E Neuman from MAD Magazine in drag.Whats your pic of the biggest debaucherer?

Middle East North Africa (MENA)
Tapping Into the Talent
President Obama has said that "the greatest untapped resource in the Middle East and North Africa is the talent of its people." In collaboration with the OECD, the United States is ensuring the most is made of this economic talent and potential.
The United States has been a major driver behind and contributor to the OECD Middle East and North Africa (MENA) program since its inception in 2006. The MENA Initiative on Governance and Investment for Development promotes broad reforms to improve the investment climate, modernize government structures and operations, strengthen regional and international partnerships, and promote sustainable economic growth in this important region.
The United States is an active participant in the "Friends of MENA" movement, which is shifting OECD program priorities toward anti-corruption, investment and banking reform, and small- and medium-size enterprise development.

By Lovisa Stannow, The New Yorker
Toobin's article provides a few valuable insights into why some corrections facilities are plagued by intimidation and violence. But, instead of examining the role of corrections leaders in creating safe facilities, Toobin focusses on the "cynical and devious men [who] succeeded in dominating women who were nominally their keepers." In doing so, he does not sufficiently address the jail management's responsibility for insuring that staff members can do their jobs, no matter how difficult the circumstances. Perhaps more troubling is Toobin's view that B.C.D.C.'s location in a poor part of Baltimore is "inevitably problematic." In fact, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are marginalized areas -- including Miami-Dade County, which, like Baltimore, has a major gang problem -- with jails that have lower than average rates of sexual abuse. The difference is that those facilities have strong management, well-trained staff, and safer practices. The true scandal is the people who run the jail, not the community that surrounds it.
