School and Institutional Trust Lands Management Act
Section 102
53C-1-102. Purpose.
(1) (a) The purpose of this title is to establish an administration and board to manage lands that Congress granted to the state for the support of common schools and other beneficiary institutions, under the Utah Enabling Act.
(b) This grant was expressly accepted in the Utah Constitution, thereby creating a compact between the federal and state governments which imposes upon the state a perpetual trust obligation to which standard trust principles are applied.
(c) Title to these trust lands is vested in the state as trustee to be administered for the financial support of the trust beneficiaries.
(2) (a) The trust principles referred to in Subsection (1) impose fiduciary duties upon the state, including a duty of undivided loyalty to, and a strict requirement to administer the trust corpus for the exclusive benefit of, the trust beneficiaries.
(b) As trustee, the state must manage the lands and revenues generated from the lands in the most prudent and profitable manner possible, and not for any purpose inconsistent with the best interests of the trust beneficiaries.
(c) The trustee must be concerned with both income for the current beneficiaries and the preservation of trust assets for future beneficiaries, which requires a balancing of short and long-term interests so that long-term benefits are not lost in an effort to maximize short-term gains.
(d) The beneficiaries do not include other governmental institutions or agencies, the public at large, or the general welfare of this state.
(3) This title shall be liberally construed to enable the board of trustees, the director, and the administration to faithfully fulfill the state's obligations to the trust beneficiaries.
Repealed and Re-enacted by Chapter 294, 1994 General Session

This is the best broccoli recipe I've ever tasted. It's really easy, too. I don't do it in batches--I just saute all of it together. The spice adds a little kick.flag if inappropriate
This is a classic, and I make some variation of this (spinach, broccoli, reens) all the time. I have learned that there are two tricks. First, never, ever, cover the pan, pot or whatever in which a bright green veggie is cooking or it may turn into an ugly yellowish gray. Second, put plenty of salt into the olive oil in the pan when you cook the garlic.flag if inappropriate
To cook on 1-24-02, broccoli rabe is naturally bitter so it wasn't your imagination.flag if inappropriate
I have been making rabe for years. I saute' lots of garlic in extra virgin olive oil in a deep saute' pan. Add rabe and about 1/2 water, pepper (fresh ground black or red flakes)and a very little salt to the same pan. Rabe is a bitter green so if you do not like a bit of a bite this veggie is not for you.flag if inappropriate
Great way to add flavor to broccolini , Had lots of zing, I also did not steam separatly , did the whole thing in the same pan. Came out great. easy tooflag if inappropriate
Is it just my broccolini or did anybody else find this dish bitter?flag if inappropriate
I have made broccoli rabe many times before but tonight I followed tashmowg's suggestions, and this is the best recipe that I have made. Key is saute oil and garlic, then steam broccoli rabe with chicken broth and then remove cover and let cook with great flavors.flag if inappropriate
It is a very tasty dish and I would love to serve it againflag if inappropriate
OmyWelikethis!(^ ^).Skip the ice/papertowel step. Drain and add to fry pan that has olive oil, coarse cut garlic and black pepper heated and wala. MMGood. Simple wholesome. OK, take it to the next level. Pour in fork stirred raw eggs and Pow! Top with roasted red pepers and carmelized onions. Family smile time. Thx for publishing this old favorite.flag if inappropriate
My suggestions: Skip the red pepper flakes and stock. Slice the broccoli rabe stems lengthwise so they're no thicker than 1/4 inch. Simply saute the garlic and rabe in the olive oil until the leaves wilt. No steaming is necessary. Then just prior to serving, turn off the heat and coarsely grate a generous handful of locatelli cheese over the rabe. Add fresh ground pepper to taste. The bite of the cheese is spectacular with the sweetness of the sauteed rabe stems.flag if inappropriate

Gangsta ass/Awesome track by the way!!!

TAKE IT 2 THA STREETS!! WE RIOTING DOWN HERE IN DA SOUTH MAYNE!! The young black male gotta fight for his right to live mayne STR8 UP, just like Pac used to say!!!
Man you can tell Buck was the driving force behind the energy on this track...I think he's the reason the Unit will be received again by the public, he seriously doesn't need G-Unit to make it on his own! Learn how to be your own boss Buck! 50 would respect U more for it bruh
Where is Lloyd Banks if this is a G-Unit joint? Has he been replaced by Kidd? Or what? Anyhow straight up G-Thang still popping!
Hell ya this is a jam-that you can loot and riot your own stores too!That will show them!? and so what if all the facts aren't in yet-lets make a song about it anyways! Police brutality is wrong. Leaving him in the streets like that was wrong. Make a song before all the fact are in...just stupid.
^ Thanks for giving us your unbiased view straight from suburbia it means a lot .LOL
I listen to the whole song b4 I commented and it's exactly what I said it is.You don't represent sh@t especially not hip-hop. Your just a do-boy follower and the truth hurts.
based on your comment we can tell you didnt even listen to the song before running your mouth. your a garbage hip hop fan. go listen to EDM cuz we over hear at RAP/HIP HOP DONT WANT YOU

I think they were trying to address this very major situation from a hood perspective. Because its a unfortunate situation this topic needs to be discussed and exploited in way that it reaches as much people as possible. Stop being a hater
Ah shit.... It ain't a G-Unit song without Lloyd Banks.
Ahhh Shit! G-Unit for life!

Children and adults are still vulnerable to a number of vaccine-preventable diseases. Some can make individuals very sick, put them in the hospital, or perhaps even be fatal. Some parents may wonder why their children must receive shots for diseases that do not seem to exist.
Currently, polio has been eradicated and is never seen in the United States anymore, that doesn't mean children shouldn't get immunized against it. Polio and other serious vaccine-preventable diseases are just a plane ride away. This has recently been demonstrated to us with the outbreak of measles in San Diego, which started with an unimmunized child who traveled abroad. This last year 2010, the record number of increased pertussis (whooping cough) cases since 1960 and several deaths of babies younger than 3 months in California due to low adolescent and adult vaccinations against pertussis is another example that vaccine-preventable diseases are still with us.
Tetanus, influenza (flu) and pneumonia are also common in the United States. This means that immunizations are still necessary and very important to help protect the health of children through adults.
Currently, there are 17 vaccine-preventable diseases excluding travel vaccines. Below is a list of the 17 diseases linked to details about each vaccine-preventable disease:
The following websites have good, thorough, reliable and accurate information, plus these websites have links to other good resources:

Famed Christian artists to perform at Arts Centre on Sunday
by W. Winston Skinner
Cynthia Clawson and Ragan Courtney, internationally known Christian musicians, will be in Newnan on Sunday.
The husband and wife are taking part in the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship General Assembly. Those meetings began Wednesday in Atlanta, and Clawson and Courtney are coming to Newnan this weekend to share their musical gifts.
They will be worship leaders for the 10:55 a.m. service at Central Baptist Church. Anne Cronic, the church's minister of music, said there will be only one worship service at Central on Sunday. Church leaders wanted as many people as possible "to get the opportunity to worship with these two very gifted artists," she said.
Courtney and Clawson will also be presenting "Prophets, Poets and Psalms" at the Coweta School System's Centre for Performing and Visual Arts on Sunday. Admission is free for the 3 p.m. program.
Courtney is an acclaimed playwright and poet and the author of "Celebrate Life!" Clawson is a five-time Dove award and Grammy award winning American gospel singer. Clawson and Courtney are "two of the most acclaimed artists on the religious music scene," Cronic said.
Clawson was once named "the most awesome voice in gospel music" by Billboard Magazine. Her career has spanned more than four decades, and she has 22 recordings to her credit.
She was three years old when her father first asked her to sing in the small church he pastored. Clawson has continued singing in local neighborhood churches – and such venues as London's Wembley Stadium.
Clawson has been a frequent guest on Bill and Gloria Gaither's Homecoming Series. Her rendition of "Softly and Tenderly" set the evocative tone for the soundtrack of the Academy Award winning movie, "The Trip to Bountiful."
Clawson has performed as a guest artist for Grammy-nominated Conspirare, a choral group recognized as the preeminent a cappella choral ensemble in the United States. She's also performed with the Houston Chamber Choir as well as years of singing with church choirs around the world.
A graduate of Howard Payne University with a major in vocal performance and a minor in piano, Clawson was awarded an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from her alma mater in 2007.
She received the same honorary degree from Houston Baptist University in 1995.
Courtney first had a poem published when he was a ninth-grader. That event led him into a study of literature and a career as a writer.
After graduating from Louisiana College, Courtney enrolled at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, but left after one semester to study acting at The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater in New York City.
He and his cousin, C.C. Courtney, wrote and starred in a musical, "Earl of Ruston." The play toured the South and opened on Broadway. When the play closed in a week, Ragan Courtney was depressed.
A profound spiritual experience transformed his life. From that experience he wrote "Celebrate Life!" with his friend, Buryl Red. "Celebrate Life" sold more than a million copies and was performed in a wide range of venues.
Courtney and Clawson collaborated in writing "Bright, New Wings. Courtney has also written and published the church musicals: "Beginnings," "Lottie D.," "Acts," "In the Name of the Lord," "Song of Bethlehem," "Angels," "In Obedience" and "Room at the Inn."
Courtney is the author of five books of poetry. He has taught at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. and worked for the Baptist Sunday School Board in Nashville, Tennessee as a drama and worship consultant.
He was director of the Center for Christianity and the Arts at Houston Baptist University. Courtney has conducted workshops on creative worship around the country and written, directed, and performed in plays and pageants for nearly 25 years.
Courtney continues writing, directing and consulting for the theatrical productions of Jeannette Clift George and The Imperial Performing Arts. Courtney and Clawson live in Houston, Texas.

ele: REVIEW – Annie's Organics
Rabbit Snack > via Heather Mueller
This was the first meal I cooked myself—when I was seven, back before "eco" "green" and "organic" meant much of anything to anyone. Sixteen years later, Annie still lives on an organic farm in Connecticut and her business remains independent, using organic ingredients from small farms and recycled content in every box. Fresh fruits and veggies are always the healthiest, eco-est choice, but Annie's growing line of cereal,
crackers and pasta are a close second for eco-bachelors, treehugging carb-lovers and mindful families alike.

I love Annie's Organic line, the only thing I wish is that there would be some alternative dairy choices. I have to miss out!

About Garbage
Garbage built on the sonic landscapes of My Bloody Valentine, Curve, and Sonic Youth, adding a distinct sense of accessible pop songcraft. The band was the brainchild of producers Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, and Steve Marker, who initially held an informal jam session in Marker's basement, but they eventually recruited vocalist Shirley Manson, who had previously sung with Angelfish and Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie.
Vig is a native of Viroqua, Wisconsin, who learned to play piano as a child and drums as a teenager. He briefly attended the University of Wisconsin before pursuing a career in music instead. The first band he joined after leaving college was Spooner, who he played drums with. Also in Spooner was Erikson, who sang and played guitar with the band. Marker was a native of New York who moved to Wisconsin to attend college. He became a fan of Spooner and began recording their songs. Vig left Spooner shortly afterwards, but he kept in touch with the band. After a few years, Spooner became Firetown and Vig played drums in the new outfit.
Firetown broke up in the late '80s, without achieving much success. Prior to the formation of Firetown, Vig and Marker bought an eight-track cassette recorder together and set up a makeshift studio in a local warehouse. This studio was dubbed Smart Studios and Vig recorded numerous local punk and alternative bands there. By the late '80s, Smart had become one of the hippest recording studios in America. Many records released on Touch & Go, Sub Pop, and Twin/Tone, among other indie labels, were made at Smart. Vig and Smart broke into the big time in 1991, after he produced Nirvana's Nevermind. Nevermind elevated Butch Vig to the status of a superstar producer, and for the next two years he produced numerous American alternative superstars, including Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, and L7.
Shortly after Vig became a star, he and Marker began playing together, eventually asking Erikson to join them. Hence, Garbage were officially formed in 1993, after Erikson joined the duo. After a year of playing, they hired Shirley Manson after seeing Angelfish on MTV. Manson began her musical career at an early age, joining Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie as a teenager; she played keyboards and sang backing vocals in the band. For the next few years, she toured with the band before leaving to form Angelfish, whom she led through an eponymous 1994 album.
Garbage recorded their debut album in late 1994 and early 1995. Their eponymous first album appeared in the fall of 1995 on Almo Sounds. After receiving support from radio and MTV, the album began to climb the charts toward the end of 1995, when the second single, "Queer," received heavy airplay. By the summer of 1996, Garbage had gone gold in the United States, and shortly afterward it achieved platinum status, as "Only Happy When It Rains" and "Stupid Girl" became radio hits.
After a brief break, Garbage began work on their second album in the summer of 1997. The record, entitled Version 2.0, was released in May the following year, preceded by the single "Push It." Four years later, they issued a sophisticated third album, Beautiful Garbage, and the first single, "Androgyny," became a moderate radio hit. Bleed Like Me followed in 2005.
After touring for Bleed Like Me, the band announced it was going on an extended hiatus. During this time, Vig busied himself with various production projects, including nabbing a Grammy for Green Day's 2009 album 21st Century Breakdown. Also otherwise engaged, Manson purportedly worked on a solo album and made her acting debut on the 2008 season of the Fox television show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
In 2012, Garbage released their fifth studio album, Not Your Kind of People. The first album of all-new material since 2005's Bleed Like Me, Not Your Kind of People included the leadoff single "Blood for Poppies." The stand-alone single "The Chemicals" was released for 2015's Record Store Day and featured a guest appearance from Silversun Pickups' Brian Aubert. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

VIM Clinic hits ball out of the park with 'America the Beautiful' fundraising gala
STUART - The 13th annual fundraising gala for the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic exceeded all expectations by raising an unprecedented $708,000 – enough to provide about 15,000 patient visits for the next year.
"The Martin County community recognizes the value of the care provided by the clinic, and realizes how important this care is to the stability of our county," said gala co-chair Joe Day.
The Jan. 26 "America the Beautiful" gala drew more than 250 guests to Mariner Sands Country Club, where they were treated to rare and exquisite silent auction items, free "pot luck" drawings and eight major prize drawings worth $35,000.
Day and his co-chair Ann Northrop originally set the fundraising goal at $500,000, then kick-started the effort with a $100,000 donation. That was quickly matched by George and Patsy Conrades, herself a VIM volunteer, then the Frances Langford Foundation.
"Volunteers in Medicine is a terrific organization," said Mike Crary, secretary of The Friends of Volunteers in Medicine Clinic, which oversees the financial and fundraising activities for VIM Clinic.
"Every dollar donated to Volunteers in Medicine buys a multiple of dollars of free medical care for the needy in our community," Crary said. "So it's a very worthy cause, a very humanitarian cause."
Other major supporters included philanthropist, David L. Smythe, who became the gala's Honorary Chair after learning more about VIM Clinic's mission of providing primary care to the medically indigent of Martin County.
"I'm only a giver, that's all. I just sign a piece of paper," he said. "These are the people that do all the work, and it's so wonderful to see exactly what they do."
Guests were delighted by a color guard provided by the JROTC from South Fork High School. Under the watchful eye of Command Sergeant Major Efrem Z. Evans, cadets escorted guests from their cars to the gala entrance, where they were crisply greeted with raised swords and an honor guard.
In keeping with the gala theme, attendees were encouraged to wear their military dress and medals. Some saluted the honor guard as they entered. Others were surprised to find that CSM Evans was himself a combat hero.
After 22 years in the Army, Evans retired and recently moved to Martin County with his fiancée, Carla Coakley. He earned a Purple Heart and Bronze Star with Valor after he was wounded in Iraq and, ignoring his own injuries, continued to fight while administering first aid to his wounded commander. Evans, now 43, deployed four more times, earning several more medals, including two Bronze Stars.
Inside the gala, guests were treated to a wide array of auction items that featured unique experiences, gift baskets and exquisite works of art. They included an original Statue of Liberty painted by renowned Americana artist Steve Penley of Georgia, limited edition and vintage cigars from Rush Limbaugh and his producer, "Bo Snerdley," a spectacular Royal Poinciana painting by Palm City artist Anaisa Chambers, and an American Rose stained-glass window by Martin County artist Margie Murphy.
The silent auction alone raised more than $40,000 of the $708,000 total, solidifying VIM Clinic's ability to continue providing comprehensive quality health care to Martin County residents with no access to health insurance and household incomes under 200 percent of the poverty level.
As VIM supporter Sally Stetson put it, "Our little town is just so caring and giving. From the doctors who volunteer, to the patients we serve, there just couldn't be anything better as a statement for Stuart, Florida."

I am so grateful to Ray Novak of Icom for bringing us three incredible radios and configuring them for my first QSO.
And to Mike Dorrough, David Jennings, and Bill Smith for the amazing restored 1961 Collins transmitter and mixer. Bill spent all day moving it in and setting it up. Some day I hope to get on the air with it on 75 meters.
Pictures of the day are posted on Flickr. I'll write more about the day later. I'm bushed!!
You can also watch on this week's Hamnation episode #13 later today, I give a tour of the entire setup and make my first ham contact.

I thought the 160m band was rarely used because it needed such a large antenna and was more code than SSB.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Les Miles received a new seven-year contract and a pay raise Wednesday from LSU, ending speculation that one of the most successful coaches in the school's history might leave for rival Arkansas.
Miles' new deal runs through 2019 and amounts to a two-year extension. LSU athletic director Joe Alleva would not comment on the financial terms of Miles' raise, the first to his base salary since 2007.
"Les Miles is one of the premier coaches in the country and has LSU in contention for championships year in and year out," Alleva said.
Alleva claimed LSU planned on giving Miles the extension and raise after the Tigers' bowl game. But talks were expedited when reports surfaced Tuesday that Miles was entertaining an offer from Arkansas.
"It's been my plan all along to give (Miles) a raise and an extension, and that's what we're doing," Alleva said. "You can talk all you want about winning championships. It's really not always about winning championships. It's about being in the hunt to win championships, and (Miles) has shown that he's consistently in the hunt to win championships."
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Tuesday that Miles received a five-year, $27.5 million offer from Arkansas, which has been looking to fill its coaching vacancy since firing John L. Smith on Saturday.
Miles confirmed that he spoke to Arkansas athletic Jeff Long about the job but described the talks as "very preliminary" and claimed that report of the lucrative financial offer "was not true."
Miles is 85-20 since arriving at LSU in 2005, with one national title during the 2007 season and two BCS championship appearances. LSU's victory over Arkansas last Friday clinched Miles' fifth 10-win season with the Tigers.
"I can tell you I very much respect those Razorbacks and how they played in that last game," Miles said. "But I'm an LSU head coach and I'll be an LSU head coach for as long as I can be."
Miles has enjoyed plenty of success in Baton Rouge, overseeing LSU's best eight-year stretch in school history. The Tigers have four top-five finishes and two SEC championships during his tenure.
Miles, who has declined multiple chances to leave LSU in the past several years, said his job "compares favorably" to any in college football.
"I can tell you that this Miles family is awfully comfortable in southern Louisiana," Miles said. "I think home is what we'd call this place."
Miles said the talks with Arkansas were "sincere" but "fell short of major, major interest." He said he recommended candidates for the job to Long.
Miles also claimed that he did not speak to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, a major Arkansas booster and Miles' former boss when he was an assistant coach with the Cowboys.
The Tigers will find out their bowl destination Sunday, with the Capital One Bowl, the Cotton Bowl and the Chick-fil-A Bowl being the leaders. LSU will begin bowl practice after fall exams end Dec. 8.
"We look forward to playing in a quality bowl game," Miles said. "We should add two starters (linebacker Kwon Alexander and guard Josh Williford). We should be healthy. I think we'll fill the bowl arena. There is speculation as to which bowl. I know LSU will be in attendance and that will be enough."
LSU's 21-17 loss to Alabama, for all practical purposes, ended its opportunity to repeat as SEC champion. With a loss at Florida, the Tigers finished with a 10-2 record. LSU posted that mark even though six projected starters missed all or most of the season.
"I would never take 10-2 as a final" record, Miles said. "But, as this year played out, I think this team improved. Three games into (the season), the team changed numbers. We had key players not there. Guys stepped in and played big. This team fought like hell and fought adversity."

Arkansas has made a head-coaching offer to LSU's Les Miles, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports, citing a source.
The Razorbacks offered five years, $27.5 million, according to the paper.
"They made a serious offer," a source told the newspaper. "(Athletic director) Joe (Alleva) is meeting with (Miles') agent and the discussion is ongoing."
Miles' agent, George Bass, dismissed the report, telling the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette: "There's nothing like that going on."
Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long announced Saturday the school would not be bringing back John L. Smith.
The former Michigan State and Louisville coach was hired from Weber State in April to replace the fired Bobby Petrino and signed to a 10-month contract. Long says that once a new coach is hired, Smith will be reassigned as a consultant through the end of his deal on Feb. 23, 2013.
LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette told the paper that Miles "didn't have anything to say."
LSU beat Arkansas in its final regular-season game on Friday, finishing with double-digit wins for the sixth time in eight seasons under Miles.

Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles waited on the field after their loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday to get an autograph from Peyton Manning.
"My mom wanted this autograph," Charles said.
Dwayne Bowe posed alongside Manning for a picture.
"It's Peyton Manning," he said. "Who wouldn't want a picture with him?"
The Chiefs have sunk to a new low of pathetic with their PDA for the future Hall of Famer.
As an athlete, I'm sure every player in the NFL (like Charles and Bowe) admire other players in their league for their accomplishments, athletic ability or both. As well they should. If anyone can really relate to what it takes to survive in a professional league like the NFL it would be another player. However, don't do it after you just lost to them, in front of your fans who paid to watch you try to defeat this star athlete.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP)– Johnny Manziel threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two more scores as No. 9 Texas A&M beat Missouri 59-29 on Saturday night.
The Aggies (10-2, 6-2 SEC) scored touchdowns on their first six drives to build a 42-7 halftime lead and coast to their first 10-win season since 1998.
Manziel missed four plays after suffering an injury, but returned with a brace on his left knee.
The Aggies were up 21-0 when he returned, and he threw touchdown passes on three straight possessions to end the first half.
He scored on an 18-yard run to start the third quarter, and added another rushing touchdown when he bulled in from 1-yard out early in the fourth.
Manziel added 67 yards rushing and completed 32 of 44 passes on Saturday. He has thrown for 24 touchdowns and ran for 19 this season.
The win snaps A&M's three-game losing streak to Missouri (5-7, 2-6 SEC).
"We could not get off the field on defense, and offensively we had our struggles," Missouri coach Gary Pinkelsaid. "The combination is not very good."
Quarterback Corbin Berkstresser started for Missouri with James Franklinout after having a concussion last week. He threw for 276 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
Missouri's Kendial Lawrencehad 16 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown to surpass 1,000 yards rushing this season.
After Manziel's touchdown run in the third, Taylor Bertolet hit a 50-yard field goal.
L'Damian Washingtongot in front of the defense on a 74-yard catch and run near the end of the third quarter to cut A&M's lead to 52-16. Berkstresser tossed another touchdown with about seven minutes left.
Manziel was intercepted by E.J. Gaineslate in the third quarter, and the Tigers capitalized on that turnover with a 1-yard run by Berkstresser early in the fourth.
Manziel's last touchdown run came with about 12 minutes left to extend Texas A&M's lead to 59-23. He returned for one play of the next drive before being going to the bench to a round of applause as he flashed the Aggies' `Gig `Em' sign.
The Aggies are hoping that Saturday's performance will give Manziel a final push before Heisman voting closes. A group a fans unfurled a homemade sign that read #heisMANZIEL during the game.
"We don't act like this is just real unusual that they scored some points. It's not," Pinkel said. "We're talking about a great quarterback. I'm certainly disappointed we didn't play better (but) the things he did to us, he did to a lot of people."
When he was shaken up, Manziel was brought down by a tackle to his left leg and held his left knee. He remained on the turf for a couple of minutes while trainers checked him out. The crowd was silent for a bit before a chant of "Johnny, Johnny" erupted.
He was helped to his feet and walked off the field on his own power. Backup Jameill Showers went in for the next play and Christine Michael scored his second touchdown on a 38-yard run to push A&M's lead to 21-0. Manziel missed the first three plays of A&M's next possession, before returning to start the second quarter.
He capped his first drive back with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Swope to make it 28-0.
Texas A&M got the ball back after a fumble. Manziel was under heavy pressure on the ensuing drive, and escaped two diving defenders to throw a 5 yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans on the run.
His next touchdown pass was much the same as he wriggled out a defender diving at his leg and juked another defender before running to the opposite side of the field and finding Uzoma Nwachukwu to make it 42-0.
The Tigers used a fake punt to extend a drive and Lawrence scored on a 4-yard run just before halftime to leave A&M up 42-7.
"We had a lot of mistakes starting from the beginning of the game," running back Kendial Lawrence said. "We just weren't executing as good as we can."
The Current River Challenge wrapped up Saturday in Van Buren. Brian Ingles has the full report:

Haulers likely to block council
Voters would settle question of trash consultant
By peter roper The pueblo chieftain
Published: July 17, 2014; Last modified: July 17, 2014 04:00AM
Pueblo-area trash haulers have beaten City Council to the punch if City Clerk Gina Dutcher validates at least 2,239 voter signatures on petitions haulers turned in Tuesday afternoon.
Those petitions ask voters to repeal council's decision in June to hire a consultant to help develop mandatory trash collection around the city.
Frank and Becky Cortese of C&C Disposal turned in more than 4,000 signatures Tuesday.
If enough are valid, council can't hire the consultant until voters settle the question in November.

Healthy urban forests have the ability to cut heating and air conditioning use, resulting in reduced costs and atmospheric emissions from power plants. Tree shade reduces air temperature and the amount of radiant energy absorbed and stored by built surfaces. Additionally, trees reduce the velocity of wind, slowing the infiltration of outside air. Research shows that properly selected, located, and managed trees can drastically reduce city and residential energy costs and lessen our reliance on new power plants. Consult the references below for additional information.


text: Laparoscopy(Peritoneoscopy, Gynecologic Laparoscopy, Pelviscopy, Exploratory Laparoscopy)Procedure overviewLaparoscopy is a procedure used to examine the organs of the abdominal cavity. Laparoscopy utilizes a laparoscope, a thin flexible tube containing a video camera. The laparoscope is placed through a small incision in the abdomen and produces images that can be seen on a computer screen. A similar procedure can be used to look at the organs of the pelvis (gynecologic laparoscopy or pelviscopy).The advantage of laparoscopy is that it allows a direct view of the abdominal organs and structures without the need for major surgery. Laparoscopy may also be used to perform biopsies or surgical procedures, such as an appendectomy or cholecystectomy (removal of gallbladder). Other related procedures that may be used to examine the abdomen include abdominal X-ray, computed tomography (CT scan) of the abdomen, abdominal ultrasound, and abdominal angiogram. Please see these procedures for additional information.Reasons for the procedureThe abdomen contains organs of the gastrointestinal, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems. An abdominal laparoscopy may be performed to assess the abdomen and its organs for tumors and other lesions, injuries, intra-abdominal bleeding, infections, unexplained abdominal pain, obstructions, or other conditions, particularly when another type of examination such as physical examination, X-ray, or CT scan is not conclusive.Laparoscopy may be used to determine the stage of cancer of the abdominal organs. It may also be used to evaluate abdominal trauma, including the depth and location of injury, and the extent of intra-abdominal bleeding.Gynecologic laparoscopy may be used to assess pelvic pain and problems, ovarian cysts, and fibroids, and to evaluate the fallopian tubes in women experiencing infertility. Other uses include treating endometriosis and removing an ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube.There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend a laparoscopy.Risks of the procedureAs with any surgical procedure, complications may occur. Possible complications of laparoscopy include, but are not limited to, bleeding from the site of insertion and misplacement of the gas used to help visualize the organs.In certain situations, laparoscopy may be contraindicated. These situations include patients with advanced abdominal wall malignancies, chronic tuberculosis, thrombocytopenia (low blood platelet count) or other bleeding problems, multiple surgical adhesions, and patients taking blood thinning medication.There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.Certain factors or conditions may interfere with a laparoscopy. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:ObesityHistory of multiple surgeries resulting in adhesions that prevent safe access to the abdomen with a laparoscopeBlood from an intra-abdominal hemorrhage may prevent visualization with the laparoscopeBefore the procedureYour doctor will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the procedure.You will be asked to sign a consent form that gives your permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully and ask questions if something is not clear.In addition to a complete medical history, your doctor may perform a physical examination to ensure you are in good health before undergoing the procedure. You may undergo blood or other diagnostic tests.You will be asked not to eat or drink anything for eight hours before the procedure, generally after midnight.If you are pregnant or suspect that you are pregnant, you should notify your health care provider.Notify your doctor if you are sensitive to or are allergic to any medications, iodine, latex, tape, and anesthetic agents (local and general).Notify your doctor of all medications (prescribed and over-the-counter) and herbal supplements that you are taking.Notify your doctor if you have a history of bleeding disorders or if you are taking any anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications, aspirin, or other medications that affect blood clotting. It may be necessary for you to stop these medications prior to the procedure.A cleansing enema may be given a few hours before the procedure.You may receive a sedative prior to the procedure, depending on the type of procedure being done. If your procedure is to be done on an outpatient basis, you will need to have someone drive you home afterwards because of the sedation given prior to and during the procedure.Based on your medical condition, your doctor may request other specific preparation.During the procedureA laparoscopy may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.A laparoscopy is generally performed while you are asleep under general anesthesia. However, your doctor will determine the type of anesthesia based on the reason for the procedure and your overall health status.Generally, a laparoscopy follows this process:You will be asked to remove any jewelry or other objects that may interfere with the procedure.You will be asked to remove clothing and be given a gown to wear.An intravenous (IV) line will be inserted in your arm or hand.An indwelling catheter may be inserted into the bladder to reduce the risk of bladder perforation.You will be positioned on your back on the operating table.The anesthesiologist will continuously monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and blood oxygen level during the surgery.If there is excessive hair at the surgical site, it may be clipped off.The skin over the surgical site will be cleansed with an antiseptic solution.If general anesthesia is not used, a local anesthetic may be injected into the incision site to numb the area. You will feel a needle stick and a brief stinging sensation.A small incision will be made in the abdomen just below the navel, or belly button.Additional incisions may be made so that other surgical instruments can be used during the procedure.Carbon dioxide gas will be introduced into the abdomen to inflate the abdominal cavity so that organs and other structures can be easily visualized.If general anesthesia is not used, you may experience some discomfort in the abdomen and top of the shoulder as carbon dioxide is instilled and as instruments are manipulated.The laparoscope will be inserted and the examination will be performed.Once the examination and any additional procedures have been completed, the laparoscope will be removed.The incision(s) will be closed with stitches, tape, or surgical staples.A sterile bandage or dressing or adhesive strips will be applied.After the procedureAfter surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room for observation. Your recovery process will vary depending on the type of anesthesia that is given. Once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable and you are alert, you will be taken to your hospital room or discharged to your home. As a laparoscopy procedure may be performed on an outpatient basis.Once you are home, it is important to keep the surgical incisions clean and dry. Your doctor will give you specific bathing instructions. If stitches or surgical staples are used, they will be removed during a follow-up office visit. If adhesive strips are used, they should be kept dry and generally will fall off within a few days.You may experience shoulder pain from the carbon dioxide gas that remains in your abdomen. This pain may last for a few days but should become less intense each day. A pain reliever for soreness may be taken as recommended by your doctor. Aspirin or other pain medications may increase the chance of bleeding. Be sure to take only recommended medications.Avoid drinking carbonated beverages for one to two days after the procedure. This will help minimize the discomfort associated with the carbon dioxide gas. In addition, drinking carbonated beverages may cause nausea.You may be allowed to drink clear fluids within a few hours of the procedure. Your diet may gradually be advanced to more solid foods as tolerated.You may be instructed to limit physical activity for several days after the procedure.Notify your doctor to report any of the following:Fever and/or chillsRedness, swelling, or bleeding or other drainage from the incision site(s)Increased pain around the incision site(s)VomitingDifficulty with urinatingFollowing a laparoscopy, your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions depending on your particular situation.Online resourcesThe content provided here is for informational purposes only, and was not designed to diagnose or treat a health problem or disease, or replace the professional medical advice you receive from your doctor.
