1) Do acid and alkaline agents have effects on carpets when being used? (2) Is only carpet shampoo to be used on carpet? (3) Is it appropriate to use hot water on carpet, too?
Carpet/Furniture Care
- Emmanuel Quansah
John Downey sent in an answer, but I accidently deleted it, so I'll try to cover the questions.
(1) In general, carpets are acid dyed. Soils tend to be acid, so we use detergents that are alkaline to release them from the fibers. Often, an acidic rinse agent will be used to restore the mildly acidic state that is natural. Very strong acids and alkalines are damaging to most fibers and must be avoided.
(2) Carpet shampoo or other carpet detergent solutions are formulated for soil release from fibers. Some are fiber specific. It would be just good judgment to stay with something developed for a specific purpose. Home chemistry can be risky.
(3) Hot water aids in soil release, especially grease-based soils. Rinsing can be done with either hot or cold water, but many prefer hot to save on chemical residue and to help restore the pile. If the carpet has a lot of detergent residue in it, hot water will activate the suds more readily than cold.
Any water used on carpet should be extracted as completely as possible to reduce drying times.

For a recent profile in "Time" magazine ("The Prophet," Dec. 26, 2011), Congressman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., posed for a picture that portrays him not only as a nationally known policymaker, but a proud bowhunter too. The photo shows him in his office wearing the "uniform" of the U.S. Congress – a dark suit – while holding a hunting bow at full draw. The photo's message is clear and unflinching: Paul Ryan is a congressman, statesman and policymaker at our nation's highest levels; AND he bowhunts. To my knowledge, that's never happened before.
I'm aware of many VIPs, celebrities, musicians, political figures, professional athletes, and stars of the screen and stage who enjoy bowhunting. I've seen autographed pictures of many of them adorning walls of archery shops and manufacturers' offices. The autographs often include a thanks for a hunt or the privilege of shooting some of the best equipment in the industry. Yet as I watch this list grow over the years, I don't recall anyone of Paul Ryan's stature making public statements in the mainstream press about their support for bowhunting. In fact, take just one look at Paul Ryan holding a bow at full draw, and you know he's the real deal; a hardcore bowhunter. He's not just another politician holding a gun or bow for the first time – maybe the only time – while currying favor with our country's large hunting bloc.
No, Paul Ryan posed for this photo of his own volition, and in a low-key way. He didn't ask a manufacturer for the bow or "fish" for an invitation to a great hunt somewhere. The truth is, Congressman Ryan has never asked for anything from the archery industry when he's done things for bowhunting. Nearly 10 years ago, he led an effort to change the tax on arrows and level the playing field for arrow manufacturers, especially those making arrows on American soil. For that, he took nothing from us except our thanks and gratitude.
Ever since meeting Congressman Ryan in the late 1990s, I've noticed he pays for everything he requests. In fact, he insists on paying. This struck me as unique, even unusual. That's because I've often seen professional athletes, singers and celebrities EXPECT to receive equipment just for showing up at an event. This contrast is especially noteworthy, given that our society assumes all politicians are on the take.
When I look at "Time" magazine's photo of Congressman Ryan at full draw, here's what I think: Every bowhunter should be proud to talk about bowhunting at home, at work, in the community and among peers in their profession. How many of us talk about bowhunting when we're with lawyers, accountants, bankers and business people while working or socializing? How many of us talk about bowhunting with our kids' teachers, school administrators, or those directing our kids' recreational programs? Do we talk about bowhunting with our pastor or priest, neighbors, community leaders, aldermen, mayor or other politicians? Do we even share our love of "stick and string" with family and friends? If not, why? Do we fear bowhunting doesn't "fit" or is somehow socially unacceptable?
Perhaps the best part about Congressman Ryan's bow-shooting appearance in "Time" is that it's done with pride and self-confidence. In the magazine's accompanying text, there's no defensiveness or "in your face" aggression we sometimes see when other bowhunters step into public forums. If any well known folks ever do express their love for archery or bowhunting, few do it so professionally and with such grace and dignity. Ryan assumes folks get that bowhunting is an activity he enjoys and one that is part of his precious few hours of personal time. He doesn't make bowhunting a crusade or an activity that is right for everyone. In "Time", he simply showed the world that bowhunting is an important part of his life – just like his family and his work to put American on the path to prosperity. Pretty cool.

Offers gluten-free fusilli and rice noodles. The restaurant was nice about offering a taste sample before we ordered.
414 South Duff Avenue, Ames, IA 50010
Noodle's & Co. has a lot of gluten-free options. Every menu option can be switched to one of the two gluten-free noodle options (rice pasta and Fazoli). Noodles & Co. has a gluten-free guide that is very helpful. I usually order spaghetti. Instead of meatballs, I ask for steak. The Tomato Basil soup is also now gluten-free. The manager explains my options and then swipes his card on the register to put an allergy alert on my order. I have dined at Noodle's & Co. numerous times and absolutely love their food!! I have Celiac Disease and never have been sick afterwards.
2289 East Beltline, Peregrine Dr NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525
Gluten free pasta is good, super spicy for my taste but eating noodles is a nice change!
638 New Jersey 18, East Brunswick, NJ 08816
The rice noodles(included in price) and the fusilli(extra $) noodles are great alternatives. I'm so thankful for them. ♡
125 University Avenue, Westwood, MA 02090
Wonderful! I'm so happy to have one of these in Mass.
Rarity Unit F4B, 1255 Raritan Rd, Clark, NJ 07066
Although they have gluten free noodles, they obviously share water and noodle strainers. I received cross contaminated pasta after order taker clearly shared my allergy with the cooking line. I then requested a manager and I'm pretty sure I got a waitress who said sorry and went on her way. No offer of replacement or anything.
4640 Casey Boulevard, Williamsburg, VA 23188
I have 7 allergies (gluten, peas, pork, avocados, tomatoes, broccoli and almonds) which makes eating out extremely difficult. I can get the pesto dish or the Thai dish. The first time I ate there I got very sick. I tried it a second time and the second time my noodles were very different than the first time. They served me regular noodles. Their gf noodles are a but dry. The Thai dish was ok. Not a favorite place but I will eat there if that's where my friends want to go.
320 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
They have gluten free pasta at all noodles and company(s). Whether it be preference or allergy. If you tell them you're allergic they will tell the cook and use a designated allergy sensitive area and cookware. I was told the pasta tastes just like the normal thing
6710 Governor Ritchie Hwy, Glen Burnie, MD 21061
Incredibly allergy friendly and the majority of the dishes could be made with the gluten-free pasta and sauces. Happy happy joy joy!
1430 N Main St, Logan, UT 84321
Several GF options, including rice noodles and GF fusilli. I got the fusilli, and it was good, and filling. Pretty good prices. About 8 bucks for a full size dish with GF substitute. The rice noodles aren't extra.
2702 Wilma Rudolph Blvd, Clarksville, TN 37040
I use to go here to eat all the time with no problems. It was my favorite place to eat! Then the past several times I have gone I ended up with non gluten free noodles in my order and noodles having to fix me another meal. Usually it is followed with a free meal and apology, but the last time I was there they had to redo it 3 times (first time non gluten free noodles in my meal, then under cooking the noodles) and didn't seem bothered by the fact it kept coming out wrong! So if you go stir your order and make double check your noodles. I haven't been back for awhile due to the errors!
3805 Forbes Ave, Oakland, PA 15213
534 W South Boulder Rd, Lafayette, CO 80026
GF noodles are available. It takes a while longer to get them, so we usually call ahead for take out.
3719 E Calumet St, Appleton, WI 54912
219 Daniel Webster Highway, Nashua, NH 03060
Typically I love this place, they are usually pretty good about knowing not to cross contaminate me, and I always say that it is an allergy, not a preference. This time I ordered, they were very busy and the worker asked if I wanted Parmesan chicken, after I said that it was gluten free (that chicken is not gluten free). When I got my food I ate some before noticing that there was some linguine in my bowl rather than just the gluten free fuccili. I was frustrated and told the staff but they didn't seem too knowledgeable.
219 Daniel Webster Highway, Nashua, NH 03060
Cross contained pasta today. Ordered GF fusilli and there was spaghetti mixed in. This is the second time this has happened here. Disappointed.
27315 23 Mile Road, Chesterfield, MI 48051
they were able to guarantee our meal was gluten free and had gluten free pasta. we also had vegans in our party and it was no problem.
611 North Perkins Road, Stillwater, OK 74075
Amazing Gluten free pasta. Tasted just like regular pasta! Friendly and accommodating staff. 10/10 would go again.
5166 North Nevada Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80918
Delicious. They have a gluten free menu, and they can make pretty much anything gluten free. I had the spaghetti.
1551 Valley West Drive #237, West Des Moines, IA 50266
Take home guide plus in store menu (confusing) and answered for concerns. I recommend .!
S District Dr, South Jordan, UT 84095
Terrible Customer Service. The food was crap. The noodles for the "spaghetti" was chewy instead of easy to chew. I ended up switching to a salad that was blah at best. They nickel and dime you for sauces. There's another dream down the toilet. <whah>
14241 Centreville Square, Centreville, VA 20121
Horrible service! The Asian cashier girl had a horrible attitude and was extremely rude to me just because she didn't want to take my order 20 minutes to closing.
7853 U.S. 31 South, Indianapolis, IN 46227
I get rice noodles, because the gf ones are extra and corn-based.
1528 Gemini Pl, Columbus, OH 43240
My celiac daughter ended up with an elbow macaroni in her gluten free pasta dish. This is after the manager told me she would talk to the kitchen staff to take additional precautions.
2274 N Eagle Rd, Meridian, ID 83646
I don't know if it was just because they had only just opened a couple of months when we had visited there but their staff had no idea what Gluten Free was! They were suggesting things that were not gluten free and when we asked them which ones are, they just said be safe and stick with salads. Ummm we didnt go to NOODLES AND COMPANY to eat a salad! We were inquiring about the sauces and they had no idea what gluten was, what celiac was, the concept of cross contamination etc. So we like spent 10 minutes explaining to 3 of their staff what Celiac's disease was and why they need to be completely Gluten Free! I mean if they were going to advertise that they are a gluten-free friendly place and list themselves in celiac friendly lists they should at least educate their staff first! On top of that, they messed up our order and didn't add the meat (chicken) we had asked onto my husbands plate, so i gave him a few slices from mine while I flagged down the manager passing by (we came from the gym and were both in dire need of protein). I was explaining their mistake and the manager interrupts me then looks at me all sarcastic and tells me that my husband is eating the chicken right now and rolls his eyes. I almost punched him in the gut. We never came back there, as the food wasn't really anything special (seriously I could have cooked all that crap better what was the point in going there), the servings were small and the people were clueless.
2019 South Naperville Road, Wheaton, IL 60187
Very gf friendly staff! They made sure that I was aware the sauce I ordered had gluten in it and switched it out for me! Then gave me a coupon for next time for the confusion. They were awesome!
2702 Wilma Rudolph Blvd, Clarksville, TN 37040
Traveling through the area. Very limited choices as most sauces contain gluten. They did answer all my questions correctly and we got the pad Thai. It was good but really didn't taste like pad Thai to me. No problems but not convinced it is actually celiac friendly.
2608 Erwin Rd, Durham, NC 27705
They were very polite, but I had a bad reaction. Please be careful.
11339 West 95th Street, Overland Park, KS 66214
Good options
2833 Crossroads Boulevard, Waterloo, IA 50702
Gluten free fusilli noodles for an upcharge. Or rice noodles are GF. I had the pad Thai w rice noodles and loved it. The sauce is naturally GF. In the spicyness scale of 1-10, it was probably a 4. A little zing if you like your food mild like me.
4302 Summit Plaza Drive, Louisville, KY 40241
Pad Thai was great! Can substitute GF pasta for many dishes. No soups GF though. Staff very helpful!
687 Lynnhaven Parkway, Virginia Beach, VA 23452
stopped by during vacation. staff were knowledgeable about GF options and friendly. Sevice was fast and food was fresh and good.
10925 Olive Boulevard, Creve Coeur, MO 63141
Service was very good. Noodles were a little dry. But would go back again.
125 University Avenue, Westwood, MA 02090
Pesto cavatappi is super yummy.
648 Old West Central Street, Franklin, MA 02038
the options are few but the food is tasty.
2124 N High St, Columbus, OH 43201
I ordered gluten free spaghetti and meatballs, which but subbed the meat balls for grilled chicken since the meatballs are not gf. I get home with my to go meal and there were meat balls on my dish, obviously wasn't very happy, but the store kindly refunded me!
1460 16th St, Denver, CO 80202
have gf fusilli or rice noodles and several varieties of sauces and salads all outlined in the little gf pamphlets available at order counter.
12190 SE 82nd Ave, Clackamas, OR 97086
Delicious food. Celiac friendly, staff is very knowledgable regarding cross contamination and celiac. Have eaten here several times and Never gotten sick. Very reasonable prices too
1001 75th Street, Woodridge, IL 60517
Always GF. It's one of our go to places for my daughter who has celiac. Never a bad experience and always careful
2000 North Clybourn Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614
We generally have been happy with Noodles & Company but yesterday found bits of other noodles in a rice noodle order that had been put in with an allergy flag. The store apologized and refunded the order but that does not solve the problem, of course.
125 University Avenue, Westwood, MA 02090
Really yummy "fast food" pasta. There are only a couple of dishes that are completely gluten free, but my pesto was really yummy. When I called to ask about preparation, they assured me that it is cooked separately from the normal pasta. It was cheap too - I didn't get any add ons such as chicken and my large pasta dish was less than $7. One concern - my GF friend ordered a salad dish and it came with croutons in it. She is not celiac and was able to just pick them out but still could have been dangerous for someone highly sensitive.
219 Daniel Webster Highway, Nashua, NH 03060
Salads, gluten free pasta options. They were careful to notify kitchen of my gluten & dairy allergies. I had pad Thai with shrimp and had no problems.
1667 K Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20036
Gluten free pasta for nearly all menu items. No gf bread.
687 Lynnhaven Parkway, Virginia Beach, VA 23452
about 10.00 for bowl of pasta w/o meat gluten free pasta is extra cost here. -- 5.89 plus 1.50 plus tax. no meats are gluten free. and not many options
6531 York Avenue South, Edina, MN 55435
The allergen list has changed over the last few years. I used to get Wisconsin Mac and cheese with rice noodles. Then they changed the sauce. Then I'd get pesto cavatappi or buttered noodles (with GF fusilli). Now both of those sauces have gluten. Now the only thing they have for us is pad thai, which is very delicious.It's best with rice noodles (no upcharge) but there's an upcharge for GF fusilli.My regular sized bowl with chicken and a drink were about $10.
3450 86th St W, Indianapolis, IN 46268
No longer gluten free. They are only for those "cutting back on gluten"
7853 U.S. 31 South, Indianapolis, IN 46227
They no longer have separate pans for allergies and are now only for people who are "cutting back on gluten" and not "gluten free"
7405 Laguna Boulevard #170, Elk Grove, CA 95758
Had the GF penne rosa (which is made with gf rotini noodles) very good flavor. Great service.
2561 Sycamore Road, DeKalb, IL 60115
Very knowledgeable use separate pans and utensils.
2035 Bond Street, Charlottesville, VA 22903
First time to this restaurant chain. Very impressed with friendly service and great knowledge of gluten. The cashier quickly whipped out a detailed chart of the break down of every meal, and the cook filled in any questions we had with confidence. $1 pasta substitution too for gluten free pasta on those style meals. I'll definitely be back for more! This celiac is happy.
996 Old Country Road, Garden City, NY 11530
The macaroni and cheese was delicious and the noodles were possibly the best gluten free noodles I've eaten to date. No reaction afterwards so I will be back!

Scott Horton Interviews Robert Dreyfuss
Robert Dreyfuss, author of The Dreyfuss Report blog for The Nation, discusses the policy of "hot pursuit" across international boundaries against anyone deemed an enemy, an increased military budget that encourages greater use of special forces, the prospect of a renewed UN mandate replacing a failed Iraq SOFA agreement and how it could effect the incoming U.S. administration, Iran's decision to reduce confrontation with the U.S., how the Israeli election result will impact prospects for peace in the Middle East and the strategy behind al Qaeda's attacks against America.
MP3 here. (44:43)
Based in Alexandria, Va., Dreyfuss been writing for Rolling Stone for at least a decade, and currently covers national security for Rolling Stone's National Affairs section. He's a contributing editor at The Nation, a contributing writer at Mother Jones, and a senior correspondent for The American Prospect. His articles have also appeared in The Washington Monthly, The New Republic, Newsday, Worth, California Lawyer, The Texas Observer, E, In These Times, The Detroit Metro Times, Public Citizen, Extra!, and, in Japan, in Esquire, Foresight and Nikkei Business. His blog, The Dreyfuss Report, is now at The Nation.
11 Responses to "Robert Dreyfuss"
What happened to Bob Dreyfuss? Towards the end of the interview he dismissed Al-Qeida as simply "morons and idiots". How inarticulate. Now, I'm no fan of Al-Qeida, they indiscriminately kill innocent civilians, but they do so to create instability and fear, resulting in total chaos for the foreign armies that occupy their "host" country. But to say that they didn't want the Americans to invade Afghanistan is simply ignorant and uniformed. Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri have stated that this was their goal since their organization's inception in 1996. Perhaps the Taliban didn't want the Americans and NATO to invade, but for Al-Qeida–-they cannot survive and grow without foreign occupation.
Yeah, I am afraid to say that Mr. Dreyfuss is a moron. I think that his liberal leaning tendencies is hazing his views on the Al Qaeda's capabilities. I can pretty much guarantee he knows nothing of how war is funded (through central banking) and bin Laden's knowledge of socialism. The idea that they are some nihilistic killers with no goals but murder and slaughter is completely illogical. Why would a group be willing to die for no reason? Did they accept death against the Soviets because they like murder? Or do were they fighting for their religion and homelands against a foreign oppressor? Of course they wanted to draw the US into Afghanistan and of course they are partly responsible for our financial fallout right now. The empire will come to an end (which is their goal) through the destruction of our currency and economy… not through the domination of our society militarily. They could be launching attacks in the US more often if that was the case… as Scheuer said, they could light up a bunch of people at a mall with some AK-47′s relatively easy; but killing 30-40 civilians at a time is not going to do the damage that making our military spend billions overseas on fighting them in unconquerable land is doing.
That is why I genuinely despise foreign policy analysts who use their work to advocate political positions. Having an anarchist/ libertarian/ very nationalistic person brings significantly more clarity to their work… I have noticed that Robert Pape's work is slightly tinged with pro-Democratic/mainstream leanings. Nationalist/anarchist/radicals like Pat Buchanan, Michael Scheuer, Patrick Cockburn, Noam Chomsky (inless he is lauding socialism)
America is slowly bleeding to death through the wallet every day, in large part due to it's imperial policy.
Please explain to me how Al Queda is "losing" this war.
Number one, The USG does not give a rip about the Arab people in general. We are in Iraq and Afghanistan to secure access their natural resources and pipeline routes. That is also the primary reason why we worry about India & Pakistan blowing each other up… The only perceived military threat in the region is to Israel who is determined to remain the sole armed nuclear power. American domestic policy has been virtually ignored under the Bush administration and the so-called financial crisis is one of the results. If the US government persists in following the path of Imperialism and foreign meddling it will eventually end very badly for all the parties involved. Dreyfus has no more of an idea of what is going on than Bush has had since 2002.
Dreyfuss' position on al Qaeda may be a bit incoherent, but the problem is not that he lacks a thorough understanding of the problem. In fact his book, The Devil's Game is an absolutely brilliant and thoroughly researched and documented account of the growth of Global Islamic extremism, including al Qaeda and similar groups. The most interesting thing about Dreyfuss' analysis (and the source of the title of his book) is that he shows that these groups have been very carefully nourished and funded and guided by Western intelligence agencies, notably of the US, Israel, Britain and France. This project has been an important component of the implementation of several very important geostrategic projects.
Dreyfuss' incoherence is by no means the result of lack of knowledge. He has the same problem that anyone who is and wants to remain a Certified Public Intellectual has. He cannot acknowledge or even grant the slightest legitimacy to the fact that 911 was an inside job. That's the source of the cognitive dissonance here. Yes al Qaeda consists of a group of morons. No, a group of morons did not pull off September 11.
Tim Howells–
I was listening to you until I read "inside job". Enough allready.
How about the exercise of two planes hitting the towers at the same time as the actual attack and that no plane went up to follow the hijacked planes. Strange, isn´t it ? And the Mossad people celebrating on a hill outside N.Y. ? What about Rice´s call to a black mayor of not flying on the day of the attack. Can that be confirmed ? Something is not right. For example several of the alleged dead terrorists are alive. Remote control ?
None of those things are right. Other than the Mossad celebrating in N.J. The rest though is bull.
I have counted Mr. Dreyfuss as one of the few liberals I read on a regular basis, but I have to express my disappointment in his comments in this interview. Al Qaeda – savages, killers, evils: no doubt! – morons and idiots, not strategic thinkers: not even close! I don't want to sit here and give compliments to people have attacked my country, killed my countrymen, and want that to continue eternally but to say that they are simply morons does ourselves and our effort to defeat them a major disservice. We are dealing with evil people, but we are not dealing with irrational madmen. We are dealing with smart, strategic-minded people. If we hadn't underestimated in the first place we might not be in the position we are now where we are losing the war against them. It's time we wake up and realize who we are fighting. Mr. Dreyfuss as an educated man should not better.
Oh, and any one who think that 9/11 was an "inside job" does the rest of us who have a principled argument and perception of reality a major disservice as well. Sorry, but the idea that the U.S. government perpetrated 9/11 is ridiculous.
Well, just one parting observation. Probably the two contributors to this very website who have the most experience in government are Paul Craig Roberts and Karen Kwiatkowski. Both are strong supporters of the 911 Truth Movement, and believe that September 11 was an Inside job.

Hair Care
Men's Hair Care
By: Jeff Falk
Posted: July 8, 2009
page 3 of 4
Men are more interested in claims that pertain to appearance. They are less concerned with the health of their hair, and more interested in how their hair will look (thick, full, dandruff free).
It has been reported that maintaining the health and condition of the scalp is of equal importance as maintaining the health and condition of hair, and there has been a corresponding growth of nourishing ingredients that provide benefits for the hair and scalp. In the men's market, where a lack of hair is often a concern, how important are the skin/scalp benefits claims in hair care products?
Men are very interested in scalp benefit claims as they pertain to preventing dandruff. Dry scalp is very noticeable, especially in instances of hair loss.
How have ingredients intended to slow down the development of premature hair loss and alleviate scalp conditions evolved, and how have you shared that story with consumers?
Ingredients intended to slow down the development of premature hair loss and alleviate scalp conditions are more recently being marketed as preventative, whereas traditionally they were just marketed as a solution to an existing problem.

Drill Team Works to Build Camden Community [AUDIO]
Tawanda Jones was just 15-years-old when she founded the Camden Sophisticated Sisters Drill Team.
What's so great about the Garden State? Let us know by using the form at the end of this story.
The program is designed to offer children the opportunity to perform all styles of dance in a team and family-type environment, while keeping children away from the pitfalls of Camden's rough streets.
Certain criteria must be met, though.
"In order for these kids to be a part of the organization, they have to maintain a C-average. They have to do 200 hours of community service," Jones explained.
These requirements have not deterred membership. More than 4,000 children have gone through the program.
Jones believes it provides the youth a chance to see things besides their normal element.
"All their problems for that moment is gone. They're basically dancing their pain away," she explained.
The team is open to children of all ages from Camden and surrounding areas.
She said that seeing some of the adult situations many of these young kids are put through in their home lives keeps her inspired to do more.
"These kids are definitely my motivation. They're my passion. They are definitely my heart."
Jones' programs boasts a 100 percent high school graduation rate.
"I would love every last one of these kids to reach their goal, their highest potential, to go to college," she said.

Cliff Stevenson Field
Stevenson Field, named after longtime men's soccer and men's lacrosse coach Cliff Stevenson, is home to the Brown soccer and lacrosse teams.
Stevenson Field has a capacity of 3,500 specators and has hosted many events throughout the years, including several NCAA tournament games in both soccer and lacrosse.
During the summer of 2012, Stevenson Field was resurfaced, replacing the grass with a LigaSport artificial surface, a product produced by PolyTan of Germany, a company that specializes in FIFA-approved artificial surfaces. The surrounding fencing was also replaced, while all of the lights were re-bulbed and a new Daktronics scoreboard was added. The bleachers received a facelift with the replacement of all of the wooden planks with aluminum.
These enhancements were in addition to renovations completed in 2001, which included new lights and light towers allowing for night play and televised games. The field was expanded and leveled, and additional drainage was installed. A retaining wall encloses the entire field areas, with the increased area providing a larger soccer-playing surface.
In addition, a new irrigation system was installed along with new fencing and landscaping. Brown's soccer and lacrosse programs have a tremendous history of success and some of Brown's most memorable athletic moments have taken place within the confines of Stevenson Field. This renovation has again elevated this facility to be among the best soccer/lacrosse stadiums in the East.

Rescue crews back in WV mine to look for survivors
MONTCOAL, W.Va. (AP) - Searchers desperately hoping to find up to four survivors of a mine blast that killed 25 went back underground early Friday, while workers above pumped nitrogen into the earth to flush out dangerous gases that have kept rescuers at bay.
The search teams were wearing oxygen masks and carrying four spares on the slim chance the men had made it to airtight emergency rooms and were waiting to be saved more than three days after the nation's deadliest mine disaster in decades.
"We committed to the families we were going to get into the chambers within 96 hours and we're doing everything in our power to do that," said Kevin Stricklin, a coal administrator from the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Air holes drilled into the Upper Big Branch mine have ventilated lethal carbon monoxide, highly explosive hydrogen and methane, which has been blamed for the explosion, but not enough to make the atmosphere safe, so nitrogen tankers were to start pumping.
"I believe the families are relieved that this process has started," Gov. Joe Manchin said.
By the time teams reach the area where the survivors might be, the nitrogen pumping will have started, Stricklin said. They will be wearing breathing gear. Stricklin estimated it should take the teams an hour and a half to reach the search area.
Once methane levels inside the mine have dissipated, the nitrogen will be sucked back out so the air inside the mine will return to normal, Stricklin said.
On Thursday, searchers spent four hours working their way by rail car and on foot through the mine and came within 500 feet of a rescue chamber where possible survivors may be, but turned around when the air became too toxic. When told to abandon their mission, they were angry, but their safety was paramount, said Chris Adkins, chief operating officer for mine owner Massey Energy Co.
Teams were headed first to an airtight chamber that has at least four days worth of food, water and oxygen. Besides finding possible survivors, crews will eventually be recovering the 18 known dead. Seven bodies have been recovered and two miners survived with injuries in the worst coal mine disaster in more than two decades.
Sen. Robert Byrd's office said Thursday that MSHA told the West Virginia Democrat it had ordered the mine evacuated 61 times since the start of 2009, although it was unclear what prompted those or whether they were full or partial evacuations.
Massey's chief executive officer, Don Blankenship, continued to defend his company's record and disputed accusations from miners that he puts coal profits ahead of safety.
"To some extent the fact that there were more survivors than those that are lost suggests that the mine was in pretty good shape relative to what mines would have been in the past and hopefully by today's standards," he told The Associated Press on Thursday. There were 61 miners in Upper Big Branch when it exploded.
Throughout communities surrounding the mine, families and neighbors anxiously watched the slow progress.
Regina Lilly was at Arvon's Floral in Whitesville buying a black and yellow ribbon arrangement to hang on her front door in support of the miners.
"They want answers; they're not getting answers," she said of the families of those missing or dead still inside. "They want their family members brought out of that mine; they haven't got that yet."
Manchin said the families of those still in the mine were being patient.
"These are the strongest, toughest people I've ever seen," he said. "These people can handle about anything you put up."
Adkins said rescue teams described seeing evidence of "a horrendous explosion and a lot of destruction."
He also said they may have found an alternate route that will allow them to get where they need to be faster when they can safely go back in.
Once that happens, rescuers will have to walk through an area officials have described as strewn with bodies, twisted railroad track, shattered concrete block walls and vast amounts of dust. Each team member wears 30 pounds of breathing equipment, lugs first-aid equipment and must try to see through total darkness with only a cap lamp to light the way.
One of the injured miners had been released from Raleigh General Hospital, but his family asked for privacy, said Cathy Boyd, a nursing supervisor. Manchin said the miner was in "total withdrawal" and doesn't want to speak to anyone.
The federal mine agency has appointed a team of investigators, and President Barack Obama said Thursday that he has asked federal mine safety officials to report next week on what may have caused the blast.
The mine is outfitted with air-quality sensors that shut down some of the mining machinery when methane levels reach a high level.
Manchin said it's unclear whether the methane levels reached that point prior to the blast, or whether the sensors detected it. However, the positioning of several bodies in an underground rail car begs the question: "Did a sensor not go off?" the governor said Thursday.
"The miners that they found, it doesn't look like anyone was alarmed or warned that something as this horrific was going to happen," Manchin told The Associated Press.
Even with high gas levels inside the mine, there must have been a source of ignition, Manchin said, and it's unclear what that might have been.
Massey has been repeatedly cited for problems with the system that vents methane and for allowing combustible dust to build up, including two large fines assessed in January when federal inspectors found dirty air flowing into an escapeway where fresh air should be, and an emergency air system flowing in the wrong direction. Miners were so concerned about the conditions that several told their congressman they were afraid to go back into the mine.
Even the day of the blast, the federal mine agency cited the mine for two safety violations, one involving inadequate maps of escape routes, the other concerning an improper splice of electrical cable. Stricklin said, however, that those violations had nothing to do with the explosion.
Blankenship, the Massey CEO, disputes accusations from miners that he puts coal profits ahead of safety.
He told AP that the company would pay funeral expenses for the miners killed. He also said he does not think the company has any information about methane levels in the mine before the explosion.
The Upper Big Branch mine produced more than 1.2 million tons of coal last year and uses the lowest-cost underground mining method, making it more profitable. It produces metallurgical coal that is used to make steel and sells for up to $200 a ton - more than double the price for the type of coal used by power plants.

Callaway unveils X Hot irons and X-Hot 24 irons
By DanielBush on Jan 17, 2013 08:47 AM
The deep undercut design allows Callaway to precisely position the centre of gravity and move the most compliant part of the face - the hottest part - lower, where most golfers make contact with the ball.
For the first time, Callaway has also incorporated Speed Frame Face Technology from its drivers into the Callaway X Hot Irons to optimise stiffness across the face for more ball speed and consistent distance on off-centre hits.
The X Hot irons have been meticulously engineered both in terms of physical characteristics and club configuration to increase ball speed and promote overall distance optimisation, says Callaway's senior vice president of research & development Dr. Alan Hocknell.
The callaway X-24 hot irons have been developed by Callaway engineers for golfers preferring to hit an iron to a long par-3 or fly a hazard to reach a par-5 in two shots. It says the clubs' VFT Face Technology, 360-degree undercut channel and a precise centre of gravity help create a large hitting area to generate maximum distance while maintaining both forgiuveness and accuracy.
Says Briton, Dr. Alan Hocknell, head of Callaway's Research and Development in the US: We recognise there are golfers looking for distance gains throughout their entire bag. So we employed our core technologies and faster ball speeds into the design of X-24 Hot irons, to create a longer, more accurate set than Callaway X-22 Irons in the X-Series.

The Best Jump-Rope Workout
101 Best Workouts Of All Time is the ultimate answer to the question "What workout should I do?" No matter what equipment you have available, from a fully-stocked supergym to a pair of mismatched dumbbells in your garage, or nothing but your body weight alone, you can build muscle, lose fat, and sculpt the physique you've always wanted.
Get the Book! Build Your Best Body Ever >>>
Some time after grade school, guys stop jumping rope—unless they grow up to be boxers. But the jump rope may be the most portable and convenient cardio tool available. Relearn how to use it and you'll be lean, spry, and well conditioned for life.
The Best Total Body Cardio Workout >>>
Find Supplements to Fuel Your Training at GNC Live Well >>>
Make sure you've got a good rope. Beaded or plastic "speed" ropes are more durable than cotton ones and whip around faster, making for a more intense workout. They're also mandatory if you want to build up to doing advanced jump-rope moves like the double jump (which we've included here, although we don't expect you to master it right away). Before you begin using a rope, measure it to your height. When you stand on the middle of the rope, the handles should extend to your armpits. Cut and adjust the length as necessary. You have to gradually prepare your lower body for the impact of jumping, so begin on a waxed wooden floor or rubber floor. Hold the rope with hands at about hip height and elbows slightly bent, keeping your upper arms close to your sides. Your chest should be out and your shoulders back and down. Make your jumps small and land on the balls of your feet.
The workout consists of three training blocks. You'll practice different jumps, rest two minutes, and move on to the next block. Follow the instructions.

Turbine made a curious statement yesterday, to the effect that details of next weeks LOTRO stores sales were not being posted on the official webpage. If you want to know what items are being discounted then you have to log in to the game and manually go to the store. At first glance this is a somewhat innocuous change but so far the post on the official forums has already attracted four pages of replies. It would seem that this move has not been well received. Some players with multiple alts will have to make multiple searches because class specific items will only be displayed to that class. Others have simply criticized the poor loading and performance of the web store app itself. I will leave it to readers to decide if these complaints are legitimate.
Now fan-site Casual Stroll to Mordor regularly covers LOTRO store sales, so when the information wasn't forthcoming as usual, Goldenstar and Ketani decided to research the matter themselves and post a list of discounted items. As usual the community was suitably grateful as a respected third party took up the slack. However, both the initial decision by Turbine to pursue this course of action and CSTM's subsequent "good deed" both raise some interesting questions.
Turbine may have tried this experiment to simply get more people to visit the store. They see it as an increased chance of a potential purchase. It's a standard ploy used in most retail industries. Make the customer come inside the store, or ask a member of staff for information and the odds of a sale go up. However, by publishing a list of items that are on special, CSTM is in some respects working against that policy. An informed customer has less requirement to log into the store and the chance of a impromptu purchase is therefore reduced.
The situation is a curious one. First of all, I see what CSTM is doing as a public service and they are under no obligation to do otherwise. Yet they are theoretically invalidating what Turbine is trying to achieve but that is not their problem in any way, shape or form. I also think that this is one of many store based experiments that we can expect to see from Turbine this year. It should be noted that they have not categorically stated that all future store sales will not be advertised on the official website. The statement merely said "For the week of January 11th – January 17th we're formatting our Store Sales page differently than normal" and nothing more.

Amherst, MA (Sports Network) - Cady Lalanne posted a career-high 22 points and 14 rebounds, as the Massachusetts Minutemen claimed a 76-66 win over the Dayton Flyers in Atlantic 10 Conference action at the Mullins Center.
Terrell Vinson added 13 points and six rebounds to help the Minutemen (17-9, 7-6 A-10) snap a season-long three-game slide. Freddie Riley chipped in with 12 points, and Raphiael Putney scored 10 off the bench.
Vee Sanford had a team-high 14 points to go along with four steals for the Flyers (14-12, 4-8), who dropped to 0-6 in conference road games for the first time since 2005-06. Reserves Josh Benson and Jalen Robinson scored 12 and 10 points, respectively.
UMass shot 43.8 percent from the floor in the first half and Dayton shot 42.9 percent. However, Lalanne was the difference in the frame as he had 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting to go along with seven rebounds to help lift UMass to a 37-31 halftime lead.
The Minutemen shot 50 percent in the second stanza, as they connected on 4- of-6 3-pointers and also went 11-of-13 at the foul line to seal the victory.
With Lalanne leading the charge in the paint, UMass enjoyed a key 36-27 rebounding advantage for the game.

How to Get Rid of Flies in Your House
House flies. Can't stand them. And there can be so many of them in the summer. Kids running in and out of the house allows those little pests to come in and out with them. But they never seem to go back out.
Here is an all natural way you can get rid of flies in your house:
What You Need:
Wide Mouth Jar (old pickle jar or something similar)
Paper Cone (or make one out of some paper)
What You Do:
1) Pour some syrup or sugar water into the bottom of the jar.
2) Cut a hole in the pointed end of the paper cone. The hole needs to be large enough that a fly can get in, but can't easily get out.
3) Slide the cone over the opening. It should sit nicely like in the picture above. Tape in place if needed.
4) Place in an area you can leave it and it won't get bumped or played with. :)
The flies will be attracted to what is inside and will crawl in, but they won't be able to get back out. So just keep an eye on the jar and clean it out when needed.
If they are really bad, you can try mixing a bug spray made from two tablespoons of dish soap and water and spray it on them directly.

NCAA West Regional update: Wheating advances to final
In the first of three heats in the 800 meters, UO junior Andrew Wheating loped across the finish line in first place with a time of 1:48.40 to clinch a spot in Saturday's final.
The top two in each heat, plus next two fastest times make the final.
UO junior Travis Thompson ran a PR of 1:49.11 in the opening heat, but placed fifth overall, so he will not advance.
Curtis Anderson covered UO track and field for The Register-Guard from 1990-96, and again since 2005. He covered the 2012 Olympic Games in London, in addition to the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in New Orleans (1992), Atlanta (1996) and Hayward Field (2008 and 2012).

I-D, Pop, Purple, Love — these are all fashion magazines from which we more or less expect artistic covers. Elle, Vogue, and Bazaar? They usually, well, stick to the usual with a close-up of an oh-so-smiley celeb. Occasionally and when we're lucky, we'll get a more interesting subscriber cover, but risks are simply not part of mainstream fashion magazines' vocabulary.
But in an industry dying to be saved, maybe a little edginess could go a long way. If Elle UK's June 2010 cover is any indication, editor in chief Lorraine Candy thinks so as well. The magazine's June cover displays a much more artsy aesthetic with a completely blurred and softly stunning photograph of Kylie Minogue. The image is so hazy that the only reason you even know it's Ms. Minogue is from the single cover line:
Kylie: Come into my world.
We're not sure if this is the subscriber cover or the magazine stand cover, but regardless, we must give a proper thank you to Elle UK for taking a risk. We love seeing Kylie Minogue's flawless face, but for the sake of art, we'll take this cover.

A lost opportunity
Nov 23 2012 , Kolkata
Bengal was the first state to pass SEZ Act in 2003. But big projects of Wipro, Infosys remain in limbo, as Mamata Banerjee's cash-starved govt can ill-afford to dole out any incentive
West Bengal happens to be the first state to pass the West Bengal SEZ Act 2003 in the country under the Left rule, a few months before Tamil Nadu passed it, and two years before the centre passed the Act in its new form. The state, now ruled by Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress also happens to be the first to put a blanket ban on SEZs. And well, it could also possibly have been the first to propose an alternative model, if TMC government's relationship with the UPA-2 government had not soured the way it has.
Experts say Banerjee has harmed the larger interest of the state, now standing on a fiscal precipice. Banerjee's moves to offer an alternative package to prospective high profile investors like Wipro and Infosys (who have been insisting on SEZ status for their projects in the state) are likely to go haywire.
Banerjee opposition to SEZs is not new. It is well known that the Trinamool Congress could grab power in West Bengal because of Banerjee's standoff on Singur and Nandigram against land acquisition and special economic zones (SEZs). Expectedly, her government had to take a strong and pro-people stance on SEZs in the state.
Infosys has been among the first victims of the TMC government's "absolute no-no" to SEZs. Its proposed 50-acre development centre at Rajarhat in Kolkata has been hanging fire for years. The ambitious project had first been put off when, in 2004, when WBHIDCO asked for Rs 2.16 crore an acre and the company thought that price was exorbitant. In 2008, the state got into an arrangement with a private developer to jointly build an IT township. Companies such as Infosys and Wipro were allotted land in the proposed township, but it was soon found that the private developer was coercing people to sell land for the project. The township was abandoned. Eventually in November 2010, during the last days of the Left government, the firm reached agreement with WBHIDCO to buy 50 acres for Rs 75 crore. The Left also promised SEZ status for the Infy and Wipro projects. In fact, when the MOU was originally signed in 2008, the Left led government had maintained that the campus would have SEZ status.
However, soon after assuming office, Banerjee made it clear that she could not change her party's policy of not granting SEZ status. "It is our cabinet decision decision that land acquisition and SEZ is not part of our policy. How can I change my policy for a particular company?" the CM repeatedly asked, prompting the Infy top brass to write to the government proposing to return the 50-acre plot allotted to it for a software development centre if it couldn't get the SEZ status by March, 2012.
Understandably, Infy maintained that nonavailability of SEZ tag would lead to huge financial strain on the company, while it could avail tax benefits only if it was granted the SEZ status.
West Bengal government's stance came in for flak and almost instantly sparked off a huge controversy and sharp criticism from political opponents, industry bodies and other quarters, reaching the powers-that-be in Delhi. Under mounting pressure, the state government started working on an alternative to stop the likely exit of IT biggies like Infosys, Wipro, TCS and many others.
According to Arjun Sengupta and Jayanta Sinha, joint secretaries, SEZ-Virodhi Prachar Manch, more than 50 SEZs of different sizes and scales are either running or pending approval in West Bengal.
A minister in the state government not wanting to be named has a simple way out of the imbroglio. "Let the centre waive the clause for state government's formal recommendations in case of SEZ recognition. In that case, TMC wouldn't have to eat humble pie and this can be a face-saving formula," he said.
But, it no longer looks feasible with TMC now out of the UPA2 coalition, and unsuccessfully pushing a no-confidence vote in the current session of Parliament. A second alternative is to offer the software technology park (STP) status instead of the SEZ tag. Banerjee has personally proposed to the centre to "create a new segment under the IT sector and extend with all benefits provided under SEZ norms, without the SEZ tag."
STP is an export-oriented scheme for development and export of computer software, including export of professional services. The STP scheme provides various benefits to registered units, including 100 per cent foreign equity, tax incentives, duty-free import, duty-free indigenous procurement, CST reimbursement, DTA entitlements and deemed exports.
Besides regulating the STP scheme, STPI centres also provide a variety of services, including high speed data communication, incubation facility, consultancy, network monitoring, data centre management services, and data hosting. STPI provides physical hosting for the National Internet Exchange of India.
A senior state industry department official told FC that anyway the centre was reviewing existing policies to make the STP/EHTP schemes more relevant in the present context, incorporating necessary modifications and additions from past experiences, streamlining the procedure in approval, extension/renewal of proposals of software developers, service providers and infrastructure service providers to make STP/EHTP schemes growth engines for software, IT and IT-enabled services, as well as electronic hardware and manufacturing with an integrated view of domestic as well as export market. The state government has been demanding extension of some of the tax sops enjoyed by SEZ units to STP units as well, he said.
"But again, it would have been easier and smoother to push such a proposal through if the state government had been on good terms with the centre," the official said, requesting anonymity.
The state government is also working on a formula and methodology to compensate companies like Infosys and Wipro, who are insisting on SEZ status, with other long-term benefits. Without specifying details of such a package, industry and IT department officials said, "It could be quite like fiscal incentives which the state government had been giving to companies like Haldia Petrochemicals."
However, a second IT department official said, "Such fiscal incentives to Infosys or Wipro's might cause the state exchequer as much as Rs 100 crore per annum." Can a cash-starved state like West Bengal afford that?

Student Testimonials
Maybe you've never taken the opportunity to consider the advantages of enrolling in summer courses at Eastern Illinois University, but Jill Barnes and Jessica Klaus have. Each student's story could serve as an eye-opener to contemporaries who don't realize what a difference a handful of summer classes can make.
Barnes, a student in the dietetics master's degree program, earned seven credit hours last summer, all during the first four-week session. That work, combined with this summer's internship in Decatur, will allow her to complete the necessary 36 hours for her graduate degree without returning to campus in the fall for more classes.
"We can only start internships at a certain time, and I wanted to make sure I started mine on time," said Barnes, who earned her bachelor's degree at the University of Minnesota. "In order to do that, I needed to get all my credits finished in two semesters. With the summer classes, I broke it up a little and avoided a huge course load at any one time. It just went a lot smoother and allowed me to focus more on each class rather than struggling through a heavier course load."
Klaus also took her summer classes to expedite her schooling; thanks in part to those efforts, the political science major will graduate in May — just three years receiving her high school diploma.
"My advisor told me that if I took two summer classes at some point, I could graduate in three years instead of four," said Klaus, who also took a number of advanced placement (AP) courses during high school. "Last summer I was down here as an EIU Debut leader, and there were two online classes available that fit into my major. It was convenient and allowed me to graduate early without having to kill myself with extra classes during any semester."
Each student obviously found summer classes not only beneficial, but enjoyable as well.
"I would recommend it if you're in a very strenuous program," said Barnes. "You can focus more on one class at a time. Working with smaller classes is more relaxed and leads to more one-on-one interaction with the teachers. That can be helpful in really learning a subject.
"For a new person in the area like me, it also helped me meet some new people. For instance, I took a wine tasting class. There were faculty members and people from the community who just wanted to take it. There are only 14 dietetics students in our program, so I see the same 14 people every day during the regular semesters. This helped me branch out, which is nice since I'm still pretty new to the area."
"It's great for students looking to graduate early," adds Klaus. "It's also good if you have a difficult time dealing with a lot of credit hours in one semester and just want to spread things out. It doesn't have to be to get ahead, it can be just to stay on pace."

Bartow, FL-- Last Wednesay, October 31, 10 News told you about a scandal at a local cellular store where one employee reportedly stole photos from a customer's phone, and shared them with another associate in Brandon.
Officials arrested the Brandon associate, 26-year-old Gregory Lampert, after they located photos of the victim on Lampert's personal phone and computer during a search of the store.
During that same search, police also found personal photos of a second woman, who remains unidentified at this time.
The other suspect, 24-year-old Joshua Stuart of Riverview, was not at the store at the time of the search, so police did not make an arrest until he turned himself in today, police say.
Initial reports said Stuart stole the victim's photos during a data transfer after the purchase of a new phone.
After sharing them with Lampert, Stuart and Lampert reportedly showed the victim's photos to another store customer, who recognized the victim and alerted her of the situation.
Police charged Stuart with two counts of Felony Dealing in Stolen Property, three counts of Felony Offenses Against Computer Users, two counts of Misdemeanor Theft and one count of Prohibited Acts Regarding Lewd Materials.

"Something's going on down there, and it`s not doing any good."
I`m going to have to say that it`s the hazardous mixture of a highly concentrated population of old people and the general lack of common sense had by all the other residents here.
America and the United States of America are not synonymous there. The entire land mass that is the Americas is named after Vespucci, but the area that is now the US was settled by the extremely religious Pilgrims.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~And the French, and the German, and the Spanish and regular Brittish. Those damned party pooper Puritans weren't the only one`s here. The Colonies themselves were mostly English and German, not Puritan at all. But then we bought the french land which was nearly 4 or 5 times the size of the colonies, and then the Spanish land which was even bigger. NOt to mention all the people who lived here in the first place that just got slaughtered along the way.

HOUSTON – (Sept. 21, 2011) – In an effort to increase cancer prevention education in the Hispanic population, researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) will use cutting-edge mobile technology to provide information that encourages nutritious eating and physical activity.
Leading the project is Belinda Reininger, Dr.PH., associate professor of health promotion and behavioral sciences at The University of Texas School of Public Health Brownsville Regional Campus, part of UTHealth.
"The goal of this project is to see how this technology can be used and to what extent we can impact behavior change related to cancer and obesity in our audience," said Reininger, who will work with trained community health workers, or promotoras, to disseminate messages focusing on preventive behaviors for colorectal and breast cancer.
Reininger and colleagues were recently awarded a $500,000 grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT), which will help fund the training of the promotoras in five Texas counties where health needs are high. Those counties are Webb, Galveston, Nueces, Hidalgo and Cameron.
"We have excellent partners in these counties who are implementing innovative prevention strategies reaching low-income Hispanic populations," Reininger said. The School of Public Health has been working with promotoras since 2003 to provide health education to communities throughout Texas.
Intel's World Ahead Program is donating Intel-powered convertible classmate PCs and providing technical support to the project team. Reininger said the donation and support will facilitate promotoras in delivering informative presentations at more personalized home visits. "Intel is thrilled to support the efforts to increase health education," said Mike Gann, director of Intel's World Ahead Healthcare Program.
Beginning this month, promotoras will learn the Department of State Health Services certified curriculum, Tu Salud, Si Cuenta! (Your Health Matters), which was developed by Reininger and Nancy Crider, Dr.PH., program manager for the Texas Public Health Training Center at UTHealth.
UTHealth collaborators on this project include Crider; Maria Fernandez, Ph.D., associate professor of health promotion and behavioral sciences; and Zhongxue Chen, Ph.D, assistant professor of clinical & translational sciences .
UTHealth: The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), the most comprehensive academic health system in The University of Texas System and the U.S. Gulf Coast region, is home to schools of biomedical informatics, biomedical sciences, dentistry, medicine, nursing and public health. It also includes a psychiatric hospital, multiple institutes and centers, a growing network of clinics, and outreach programs in education and care throughout the region. The university's primary teaching hospitals include Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital and Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital. Founded in 1972, its faculty, staff and students are committed to delivering innovative solutions that create the best hope for a healthier future.
About CPRIT: In 2007, Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment establishing the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) and dedicating up to $3 billion to invest in groundbreaking cancer research and prevention programs and services in Texas. Passionately committed to the war on cancer, CPRIT focuses on expediting the innovation and commercialization of cancer research – in turn increasing the potential for a medical or scientific breakthrough – and enhancing access to evidence-based prevention programs and services. CPRIT accepts applications from Texas-based public and private entities for grants to support a wide variety of cancer-related research projects and for the delivery of cancer prevention programs and services. More information about CPRIT is available at www.cprit.state.tx.us.

Army Gen. Ray Odierno said he's seen a "constant improvement" in both the security situation and governance in Iraq to prepare for the June 30 deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from major cities.
"They've been working for this for a long time," Odierno said on CNN's "State of the Union."
In a separate interview on "Fox News Sunday," Odierno said all U.S. troops already were out of Iraq's major cities before Tuesday's deadline.
"We have already moved out of the cities," Odierno said. "We've been slowly doing it over the last eight months. And the final units have moved out of the cities over the last several weeks."
The shift is part of the security agreement that former President George W. Bush's administration signed with Iraq.
In the CNN interview, Odierno blamed the recent violence in Iraq on "extremist elements using the timeframe and date to gain attention to themselves and divert attention from the success of Iraqi security forces."
The 131,000 U.S. troops in Iraq still will "maintain full coordination with Iraqi forces inside the cities" and continue to have intelligence capacity, Odierno said. With approval from the Iraqis, they also will carry out operations in major cities as necessary, he said.
Odierno said his goal is to help provide security that allows Iraq to hold planned national elections leading to the eventual removal of all U.S. troops by the end of 2011.
He said his biggest worry is a breakdown in stability such as a "consistent increase in violence" or a situation that Iraqi forces can't handle.
"I don't see that" happening, Odierno said. "I think we're on the right path."
Odierno also said Iran continues to "interfere" in Iraq, including training insurgents and paying surrogates. But he said his mission is limited to providing security within Iraq, no matter the provocation from Iran or elsewhere.
"I'm not authorized to do anything outside the borders of Iraq," he said.
Iran's government has repeatedly denied fomenting violence inside Iraq.
Updated: 2:38 p.m.
Lets get out already. We cannot police the world. We have done enough damage.
"Odierno also said Iran continues to "interfere" in Iraq"
ha ha, that's a laugh. how about – "the US continues to interfere in Iraq"
To ZERO at 1:15pm –
Perfect screen name if it is a representation of your IQ. MORON!!!

text: http://androidforums.com – Hey, all, Yesterday, I installed CyanogenMod 7 onto my Motorola Triumph with Virgin Mobile. Since then, I've been really happy about it -- with one catch. My 3G isn't working, so I can't surf the web or send MMS. SMS and phone calls work fine, and I can do stuff via wifi. I think the problem has something to do with the APN, but whenever I change the settings and save the APN, it disappears from the list. I've also flashed the rom again, repaired permissions several times, cleaned my cache, et cetera, but to no avail. So, a few questions: 1) What are the correct APN settings? I've foun (General)

This article describes how to use the Alternate Configuration functionality to establish multiple-network connectivity. If you are a mobile computer user, you can use the Alternate Configuration functionality to maintain seamless operations on both office and home networks without having to manually reconfigure TCP/IP settings. This feature specifies that TCP/IP uses an alternative configuration if a DHCP server is not found. The Alternate Configuration functionality is useful in situations where you use the computer on more than one network, where one of those networks does not have a DHCP server, and you do not want to use an automatic private Internet protocol (IP) addressing configuration.
You can use the Alternate Configuration functionality if you use a mobile computer at your office and at your home. When you are in the office, the computer uses a DHCP-allocated TCP/IP configuration. When you are at home (where you do not have access to a DHCP server), the computer automatically uses the alternative configuration.
