Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 25. UNIVERSITY of Nebraska head swimming coach Pablo Morales announced Monday morning that he has received two letters of intent for the 2002-03 season, and interim diving coach Jefferson Bro announced that he has received one letter of intent for the 2002-03 season.
Nebraska received letters of intent from swimmers MacKenzie Clark (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Courtney Petersen (Gilbert, Ariz.) and diver Amie Buoy (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada).
"We are very happy to land three student-athletes of this caliber during the early signing period," Morales said. "All three bring significant potential and experience to the Big 12 Conference. In addition, they are hard-working, focused and dedicated student-athletes who will add a significant amount of solid team chemistry to what we are building here at Nebraska."
(Nebraska lost most of its women's team after university officials axed the men's team last year citing budgetary reasons. Morales began his career at Nebraska by advertising in the students newspaper for swimmers for his team. Later events proved there was no budgetary imperative at all: More than a million dollars were found for athletic department bonuses, and Alltel gave the department an $8 million gift.)
Clark, from Cheyenne Mountain High School in Colorado Springs, will join the Huskers as a distance specialist. "MacKenzie is a solid distance specialist who can make an immediate impact as a distance swimmer," Morales said. "She is a tremendous addition to a distance program that we are looking to bolster this year."
Petersen was a Junior National qualifier in the 200- and 400-yard individual medley, as well as the 200-yard butterfly. A 2001 graduate of Mesquite High School in Gilbert, she also posted high school All-American consideration times in the 100-fly and the 200-yard IM.
"Courtney is a versatile performer who can be a point scorer in the butterfly and the IM events," Morales said. "Her versatility will allow her to play a key role on the team."
The signing of Buoy adds a third scholarship Canadian diver to the squad.
Buoy dives for the Edmonton Kinsmen Dive Club under head coach Gao Min. One of the top senior divers in Canada, Buoy finished seventh on the one-meter at the 2001 Canada Games and took top honors on both the one-
and the three-meter at the 2001 Alberta Summer Provincial meet.
"Amie is a very good diver," Bro said. "We are very pleased that she has signed with us. She is one of the top divers in her age group, and she will do big things at Nebraska."

Vacation packages available for Indian River Inlet cottages
Through unique public-private partnerships, the Indian River Marina has created two new vacation packages that feature stays at the waterfront cottages along the Indian River Inlet. A Spa Getaway package and a Golf Retreat cater to a variety of visitors and offer relaxation, recreation and a chance to discover the natural and historic features that Delaware State Parks offer year-round.
The Spa Getaway package partners with Made Ya Look! Salon and Day Spa on Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach and includes manicures and pedicures for four, as well as 20 percent off additional services at the spa. The Indian River Life-Saving Station staff will also conduct a private sea-glass jewelry-making class for the group.
The Golf Retreat includes greens fees and other amenities for four golfers at two popular courses. Baywood Greens in Long Neck, one of the beach's finest country club courses, boasts an 18-hole championship course offering scenic views and spectacular golf. The Rookery also offers an 18-hole championship layout in the Rehoboth Beach resort area providing wonderful playing experiences for golfers of all abilities.
Both the Spa Getaway and Golf Retreat are offered for four people and include Sunday-to-Thursday stays in Delaware Seashore State Park's Cottages at the Indian River Marina during the off-season, November through March. Also included are a welcome bag with coupons, vouchers and gift certificates from local shops and restaurants like Henlopen City Oyster House and Tanger Outlets.
Those interested in reserving a cottage for these vacation packages can visit destateparks.com/spa or destateparks.com/golf or call the Indian River Marina at 302-227-3071 for more information.

I'm writing an algorithm which do a big loop over an integer array from the end to the beginning with a if condition inside. At the first time the condition is false the loop can be terminated.
So, with a for loop, if condition is false it continues to iterate with simple variables changes. With a while loop with the condition as while parameter, the loop will stop once condition false and should save some iterations.
However, the while loop remains a little slower than the for loop!
But, if I put a int value as counter, and count iterations, the For loop as expected performed much more iterations. However this time, the time execution of the mofified For method with the counter will be much more slower than the while method with a counter!
Any explanations?
here the code with a for loop:
for (int i = pairs.length - 1; i >= 0; i -= 2) {
u = pairs[i];
v = pairs[i - 1];
duv = bfsResult.distanceMatrix.getDistance(u, v);
if (duv > delta) {
time execution: 6473
time execution with a counter: 8299
iterations counted: 2584401
here the code with the while loop:
int i = pairs.length - 1;
u = pairs[i];
v = pairs[i - 1];
duv = bfsResult.distanceMatrix.getDistance(u, v);
while (duv > delta) {
u = pairs[i -= 2];
v = pairs[i - 1];
duv = bfsResult.distanceMatrix.getDistance(u, v);
time execution: 6632
time execution with a counter: 7163
iterations counted: 9793
Time is in ms, I repeated the experiment several times with different size intances, the measures remained almost the same. The execute() method updates the delta value. Method getDistance() is just a matrix int[][] access.
Thanks for any help.

When I first found out I had to go gluten-free, I didn't much worry about sandwiches, pizza, or beer. It was the thought of only one food that made me tear up at its loss.
For years, I made a pie every week, bearing cherry pies to dinner parties, handing out slices to friends, and throwing pie parties. (One year, I made seven apple pies on the same day and invited everyone I knew to my apartment in New York City for a slice of apple pie and a glass of milk.) My roommate William nicknamed me Pie. We celebrated on March 14th — 3.14 — by making and eating pie.
Always, whenever someone new came to the house, and ate a slice of my apple pie, he or she always said the same thing: "You didn't make the crust, did you?!" As though I had figured out a solution for the latest Middle East crisis with flour, butter, and water.
So when I contemplated a life without gluten, I feared a life without pie. The thought of not eating fresh pumpkin pie with cinnamon and ginger at Thanksgiving scared me. Summer without peach pie? What was this life going to be?
Yesterday, I plunged my hands into a bowl full of cold gluten-free flours, mixed with a little salt. The cubes of cold butter resisted my fingers, at first, and then relented. As the fat and the flour began to mix, I thought of the six years I have been making pie without gluten.
In those years, I have come to love pie even more than before. I took it for granted when I thought I could eat gluten. I loved pie, and making it, but I didn't really know how to play with flours. I didn't understand the ratio of a great pie or why my crusts were sometimes so flaky the fork shattered them at first touch and sometimes sat in the pan a little leaden.
Teaching myself to bake without gluten has turned me into a real baker. I think about the protein levels in flours now. I keep a bag of all-purpose gluten-free flour mix, which we make ourselves, in the freezer in case we want to make biscuits or pie that day. (Cold. That's the secret to a flaky crust. Everything cold.) And now I know that if I can make pie without gluten, I can do anything.
(pssst. Here's a secret. It turns out that gluten-free pie crust is better than crust made with gluten anyway.)
Last week, my family and I were leaving for a weekend away. I had made three pies the day before, to photograph them for a project we're working on. We ate some of one pie and gave the other away to our neighbors. That left us with an entire apple pie the morning of our flight. Spontaneously, we decided to take the pie onto the ferry we take to Seattle. "Let's hand out slices of pie to people!" People were amazed. A couple thought we were a little weird and declined. Everyone else smiled and took a piece of pie. "Oh, this is so good," one woman exclaimed. "You've made my day!"
|Nothing beats homemade Apple Pie! (Photo by zobird)
We were almost out of pie. We turned the corner to find a mom and her three boys, who were 10, 7, and 4. When I asked them if they wanted some pie, the mother said, "It's gluten-free, right?" She recognized us from our website and cookbook. It turned out that all of them, the mom and her three boys, had celiac. None of them had eaten pie since their diagnosis, three years ago.
The joy on their faces made my day. (Or my year.) The oldest boy, the quietest, looked up at me and said, "This is really delicious. Thank you."
Danny and I smiled all the way to the airport.
That's my recipe for happiness. Open eyes, a mind willing to learn and make mistakes, and the desire to connect with people and give them joy in the belly with my food. Who needs gluten anyway? Check out these gluten-free pie crusts from Allrecipes.com—Gluten-Free Macadamia Pie Crust, Gluten-Free Pastry, Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie (wheat-free, egg-Free and dairy-free too!)—and enjoy slices of gluten-free goodness at your Thanksgiving feast.

Reel Talk Rolls on with New Faces, New Films
by Marc LeBourdais '08
I leafed through my notes, refreshing myself on names and titles, while fidgeting in my seat and smoothing my sweater. It wasn't fear that had me squirming, but rather the knowledge that this was the last time I'd perform this ritual before graduating. I'd become very familiar with the television studio on the third floor of Colgate Hall, and the prospect of leaving was bittersweet. I did my best to stay still as I waited to hear Professor of Humanities Pat Anderson say, Welcome to 'Reel Talk'.
The More Things Change
Reel Talk, a film review show produced at Colby-Sawyer, has changed a bit since its television debut four years ago. Certainly the faces behind and in front of the camera are different, as the original student co-hosts and film crew have graduated since its debut.
Professor Anderson, however, remains in his chair at the center of the set. On the table next to him today rests three bags of popcorn, a change that took me by surprise - the decorative prop used to be a snow globe a la Citizen Kane or old-time film reels. The popcorn is edible and real, though, and represents one more change in the program's evolution. At its core, though, Reel Talk is still a show from which students learn about good films to see, and from which Communication Studies students gain experience on and off camera.
Reel Talk began when Don Coonley, a now-retired professor of Humanities, and some students approached Professor Anderson with an idea for a television project that would allow students in the Video Production courses to have experience in the production end of things. The move to television started as an interesting little experiment around 2002, and it eventually took on a life of its own, says Professor Anderson.
This statement is not hyperbole, as the studio buzzes with activity during the filming of each episode. During the microphone check, the hosts review their notes and converse amongst themselves and with the crew. I point out the contrast between two of the films we'll be reviewing, the Disney musical Enchanted and the dark, violent thriller No Country for Old Men, and comment that one would not expect to see these movies reviewed in the same episode.
I got involved with Reel Talk two years ago after taking Professor Anderson's Introduction to Film course. He asked if I would be interested in becoming a regular contributor to the show, and I found the prospect of working with friends and classmates appealing, as was the idea of getting to watch and review movies, so I agreed. While there were times of frustration, whether having to watch a movie I did not care for or running short on time, I found I could appraise movies with a critical eye and see them for more than disposable entertainment. Hosting also allowed me to spend time with friends who were working on the show, and to become more comfortable in front of a camera.
While I wait for my last show to begin, last-minute adjustments are made to the cameras, while cues for the opening music and film titles are arranged in the control room. Student Director Madeline Lenox '08 is fretting over the absence of one of the students who normally runs the center camera, while setting up the titles and credits to appear on-screen and running through final sound checks. According to other student crew members, her job is the most stressful. There have been a few days like this, when filming was complicated by temperamental equipment or an unexpectedly absent camera operator, but these snags have rarely hindered the show's production in any significant manner.
While the finished product may appear deceptively easy to produce at times, the students behind the scenes work hard to ensure each episode's smooth production, and admit that some jobs are more stressful than others.
Looking Toward the Future
While all the students behind and in front of the cameras are gaining experience in the here and now, some are also looking toward the future. After the winter break, I will have graduated, leaving Professor Anderson to search for a new co-host to fill the third chair.
Rather than feeling disappointed when my final episode as a co-host before graduation concludes, I am surprised to find myself very happy to have been given the opportunity to contribute to the show, and I look forward to seeing what changes the future brings. I wish my successors the best of luck, and extend my thanks to Professor Anderson and the entire crew for allowing me to be part of the show. As for you, if you've never seen an episode of Reel Talk, keep your eyes open. You never know what familiar faces you might see.

OU football: Nick Saban had to convince team to play in 'consolation game' against Sooners
Maybe Shawn Oakman wasn't all wrong. Maybe Alabama doesn't care about non-National Championship bowl games.
The Baylor defensive end said Monday at Big 12 Media Days that "You realize if it's not the national championship, Alabama don't even care who they play," essentially discrediting OU's momentum-building win over the Crimson Tide in this year's Sugar Bowl.
But on ESPN's College Football Live on Tuesday, Alabama coach Nick Saban admitted that he had to do some extra motivating to get his players up for OU.
Nick Saban said playing OU last year had to convince team "getting them to try to play in consolation game"
— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) July 22, 2014
Remember, Auburn's 109-yard missed field goal TD return in the Iron Bowl shut Alabama out of the SEC Championship game and cost the Crimson Tide a chance at a third consecutive National Championship. The circumstances were similar for Alabama in 2008-09, when the Crimson Tide experienced a letdown in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, when then mid-major Utah beat them 31-17 after Alabama was coming off a tough loss to Florida in the SEC Championship game.
If Alabama would have beaten Florida that season, it would have played OU in the National Championship game. Instead — like in 2013-14 — the Crimson Tide were relegated to New Orleans, where Utah ran over them en route to a perfect season.
Is "motivation" a factor for Saban's crew when it's not playing for all the marbles? Or is it a tailor-made excuse for losing "consolation games?"
Saban did have some good things to say about OU, in particular quarterback Trevor Knight.

Of all the award shows, the Tony Awards are at the top of the heap for showcasing not only the magic of live theatre, but the absolute love of it. The support and enthusiasm of the theatre community is palpable. Three hours of sheer bliss; no, I am not kidding.
It's hard to believe, on a Sunday night, when I normally like to read, I was riveted to the Tony Awards. Man, the show was one show-stopping performance after another. I didn't know the Broadway hit, "Annie" was revived until last night (and up for a Tony for a revival), but all the kids were astounding in the classic, "Hard Knock Life" and Jane Lynch of "Glee" fame, who is playing Miss Hannigan, owned the stage. There was also a performance by the stars of "Motown, the Musical" that included and featured the Jackson 5 performance, and the kid that played Michael Jackson was spot on. There were too many other performances to single out.
The stunner of the night, however, was the closing song with Neil Patrick Harris (perfect host for the Tony Awards, it should be a given he's there every year) rapping to "Empire State of Mind" with Audra MacDonald singing (ala Alicia Keys). NPH was simply brilliant. See quoted text:
"Not content to have his incredible opening number be the only you remembered about the Tony Awards, Neil Patrick Harris — with the assistance of Audra McDonald — closed down the show by setting the night's events to "Empire State of Mind" and confirming what a magnificent son of a b*tch he is, working in almost all the names of the night's winners into his rhymes. Not exactly something that is easily rehearsed beforehand."
Last, but by no means least, Cyndi Lauper accepted an award for her original score of the musical, "Kinky Boots" ; I was truly moved by her humility and appreciation upon winning the award. Hard to believe her accent is for real, but it is ... and she gushed her thanks in her own unique style. Later, she sang, "True Colors" to accompany the memorial tribute for all of the talented people in the arts who passed away last year. Nice.

This week's picks column is dedicated to the WNBA champion Indiana Fever, who by forcing confetti to rain from the rafters of Bankers Life Fieldhouse established the highest possible standard of achievement.
Now maybe IU, Purdue or the Pacers can follow with a hoops title of their own, be it Big Ten, divisional or the proverbial entire enchilada.
Speaking of the Fever, is it too much to ask for them to go ahead and retire Tamika Catchings' number right now even though she's still an active player? After all, she is that franchise's Roger Brown, Mel Daniels, George McGinnis and Reggie Miller all rolled into one.
Oh, wait. Football. Sorry about that. Here are this week's picks:
Notre Dame 30, Pitt 17
Former Wisconsin offensive
coordinator Paul Chryst will eventually make the Panthers relevant again. As for now, they're in over their heads.
Indiana 27, Iowa 25
The Hoosiers have been on the wrong end of some painfully close scores this season. This time IU experiences how the other half lives.
Penn State 23, Purdue 14
Anyone who thinks Bill O'Brien wasn't the perfect choice in Happy Valley simply isn't paying attention. Same goes for those who thought Danny Hope was the perfect choice in West Lafayette.
Ohio State 51, Illinois 23
I'm convinced the Buckeyes aren't as good as their record. Sadly for Illini fans, the same can be said for their team. And they're terrible.
Michigan State 24, Nebraska 20
I'm sure the Spartans will make me regret picking them. They're good at that. MSU gets the edge playing at home.
Michigan 45, Minnesota 20
The Gophers are playing at home, but that porous defense is going to get chewed up and spit out by Denard Robinson & Co. Besides, Minnesota has held possession of the Little Brown Jug exactly one time since 1987. Even at home the Gophers have lost 14 straight to Michigan. Make that 15.
Indianapolis 24, Miami 14
This marks the second time Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will match talents against a fellow rookie QB. The Dolphins, who struggle putting points on the board, aren't going to produce enough to win in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Chicago 31, Tennessee 20
The Bears travel well, and Nashville isn't that far of a roadie. Chicago fans will make LP Field their own while their ballclub cruises to victory. Vanderbilt alum Jay Cutler plays big in his return to the Volunteer State.
Denver 30, Cincinnati 26
Peyton Manning returns home — well, sort of (it is close to Indy) — and makes it triumphant against the disappointing Bengals.

Free WiFi and Great Food – Panera Bread in Broken Arrow
Panera Bread has been my back-up office for several years. It's a great (public) place to meet clients over coffee (or lunch or dinner), and get some informal work done. It's also a great place to catch up on some reading (internet or paperback) while grabbing a bite to eat. Internet issues at home? More than once, Panera has been my emergency back-up. Unlike most places that tout "free wifi," Panera also lets you use their power outlets. Did I mention they have great food?

I just created a connection to a non-Zimbra IMAP server so I can access my emails on this server from my Zimbra web Interface, and while the setup screen successfully tests the connection, there's no shortcut or folder for me to click on to access this IMAP account. I used this feature successfully in the past on ZCS 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 and we jumped yesterday from 5.0.2 to 5.0.6. On ZCS 5.0.2, after I created a non-Zimbra IMAP account conenction, there was an icon on the left-hand side pane for me to click, but now it doesn't show.
Does somebody have an idea?

Humulin NPronunciation
Generic Name: insulin isophane (IN soo lin EYE soe fane)
Brand Names: HumuLIN N, HumuLIN N Pen, NovoLIN N
What is Humulin N?
Humulin N (insulin isophane) is a man-made form of a hormone that is produced in the body. It works by lowering levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Insulin isophane is a long-acting form of insulin that is slightly different from other forms of insulin that are not man-made.
Humulin N is used to treat diabetes.
Humulin N may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important information
Do not use Humulin N if you are having an episode of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is the most common side effect of Humulin N. Symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, hunger, sweating, pale skin, irritability, dizziness, feeling shaky, or trouble concentrating. Watch for signs of low blood sugar. Carry a piece of non-dietetic hard candy or glucose tablets with you in case you have low blood sugar.
Before using Humulin N
Do not use Humulin N if you are allergic to insulin, or if you are having an episode of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
To make sure you can safely use Humulin N, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease.
Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially oral diabetes medications such as pioglitazone or rosiglitazone (which are sometimes contained in combinations with glimepiride or metformin). Taking certain oral diabetes medications while you are using Humulin N may increase your risk of serious heart problems.
FDA pregnancy category B. Humulin N is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
See also: Pregnancy and breastfeeding warnings (in more detail)
It is not known whether insulin passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I use Humulin N?
Use Humulin N exactly as it was prescribed for you. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use Humulin N in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Humulin N comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use, and directions for priming the injection device. Follow these directions carefully, or you may receive too little or too much Humulin N. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and you may need other blood tests at your doctor's office.
Humulin N is injected under the skin. You will be shown how to use injections at home. Use a different place on your stomach, thigh, or upper arm each time you give the injection. Do not inject Humulin N into the same place two times in a row.
Use a disposable needle only once, then throw away in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
Never share an injection pen or cartridge with another person. Sharing injection pens or cartridges can allow disease such as hepatitis or HIV to pass from one person to another.
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can happen to everyone who has diabetes. Symptoms include headache, hunger, sweating, pale skin, irritability, dizziness, feeling shaky, or trouble concentrating. Always keep a source of sugar with you in case you have low blood sugar. Sugar sources include fruit juice, hard candy, crackers, raisins, and non-diet soda. Be sure your family and close friends know how to help you in an emergency.
If you have severe hypoglycemia and cannot eat or drink, use a glucagon injection. Your doctor can prescribe a glucagon emergency injection kit and tell you how to use it.
Also watch for signs of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) such as increased thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruity breath odor, drowsiness, dry skin, blurred vision, and weight loss.
Check your blood sugar carefully during times of stress, travel, illness, surgery or medical emergency, vigorous exercise, or if you drink alcohol or skip meals. These things can affect your glucose levels and your dose needs may also change. Do not change Humulin N dose or dosing schedule without your doctor's advice.
Carry an ID card or wear a medical alert bracelet stating that you have diabetes, in case of emergency. Any doctor, dentist, or emergency medical care provider who treats you should know that you are diabetic.
Storing unopened vials, cartridges, injection pens: Keep in the carton and store in a refrigerator, protected from light. Throw away any Humulin N not used before the expiration date on the medicine label.
Storing after your first use: Keep the "in-use" vials, cartridges, or prefilled syringes at room temperature and use prior to the expiration date. Keep the in-use injection pen at room temperature and use it within 14 days. Do not refrigerate.
Do not freeze Humulin N, and throw away the medication if it has become frozen.
See also: Dosage Information (in more detail)
What happens if I miss a dose?
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
It is important to keep Humulin N on hand at all times. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. An insulin overdose can cause life-threatening hypoglycemia.
Symptoms of severe hypoglycemia include extreme weakness, blurred vision, sweating, trouble speaking, tremors, stomach pain, confusion, seizure (convulsions), or coma.
What should I avoid?
Do not change the brand of insulin or syringe you are using without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist. Some brands of insulin isophane and syringes are interchangeable, while others are not. Your doctor and/or pharmacist know which brands can be substituted for one another.
Avoid drinking alcohol. Your blood sugar may become dangerously low if you drink alcohol while using Humulin N.
Humulin N side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs an allergic reaction to Humulin N: itching skin rash over the entire body, wheezing, trouble breathing, fast heart rate, sweating, or feeling like you might pass out.
Call your doctor at once if you have shortness of breath, swelling in your hands or feet, or rapid weight gain (especially if you are taking an oral diabetes medication).
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is the most common side effect of Humulin N. Symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, hunger, sweating, pale skin, irritability, dizziness, feeling shaky, or trouble concentrating. Watch for signs of low blood sugar. Carry a piece of non-dietetic hard candy or glucose tablets with you in case you have low blood sugar.
Tell your doctor if you have itching, swelling, redness, or thickening of the skin where you inject Humulin N.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
See also: Side effects (in more detail)
What other drugs will affect Humulin N?
Using certain medicines can make it harder for you to tell when you have low blood sugar. Tell your doctor if you use any of the following:
reserpine; or
a beta-blocker such as atenolol, carvedilol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, nebivolol, propranolol, sotalol, and others.
This list is not complete and there are many other medicines that can increase or decrease the effects of Humulin N on lowering your blood sugar. Other drugs may also interact with insulin, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use now and any medicine you start or stop using. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.

Charles L. Pieterick, RN, MS, ARNP
Patient Care Philosophy"I believe each individual is complete and perfect just as he or she is. I strive to help patients experience that wholeness, even in the face of the challenges that the cancer and its treatment may impose."
Education and Training
- Bachelor of Arts, Biology and Nursing, University of St. Thomas, St Paul, MN
- Master of Science degree, Adult Health Nursing, University of Portland, Portland, OR
Practitioner ProfileCharlie Pieterick is an advanced registered nurse practitioner (ARNP) on the gastrointestinal oncology team at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
Charlie was introduced to the role of nursing by his fellow students while at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn. He was particularly attracted to the opportunity to build relationships with patients and families as a nurse practitioner. Working within a multidisciplinary team that treats a variety of patient needs, he still finds the lasting relationships built through his career to be very rewarding.
"I did not seek out oncology," says Charlie. "It sought me out." It was while helping to manage oncology, palliative care, and hospice patients at the Veteran's Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System's nursing home care unit that he realized he wanted a career that addressed the challenges associated with cancer care. While working at the VA, Pieterick had a conversation with SCCA's Tony Back, MD, who had recently moved from the VA. Dr. Back suggested that Charlie consider a nurse practitioner position opening at SCCA. The rest, as they say, is history.
Charlie's primary objective at SCCA is to employ his professional training to assess the needs of patients and co-create a treatment plan that addresses those needs. "Patients with cancer, and their family caregivers, face incredible challenges--physical, emotional, and spiritual," he says. "I seek to empower patients and their family caregivers with the information and resources they need to be active participants in their care."
When he isn't working, Charlie loves the outdoors whether biking, hiking, camping, or fishing. He shares all of these passions (except for fishing) with his wife. "The Pacific Northwest is a wonderful outdoors venue. I love it here!"

Crowd support: The rain was not a damper to the folk attending the MCA ceramah at Taman Kajang Indah in Kajang.
KAJANG: It was a perfect Sunday for Kajang folk. It finally rained after almost a month of drought.
"Saya banyak senang hati (I am very relieved)," said a visibly happy Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim at the start of his address to hundreds of people at a Pakatan Rakyat ceramah in Sg Chua new village here on Sunday night.
The drizzle did not stop them from making a beeline to the basketball court to attend the ceramah featuring the Selangor Mentri Besar.
In his speech, Khalid also touched on the state's RM405mil water project in Kampung Sungai Darah to supply water to over a million consumers in the Klang Valley.
The project is expected to be completed in July next year, he said, in an apparent move to divert attention from the current water shortage and rationing exercise in the state.
A few kilometres away in Taman Kajang Indah, people carrying umbrellas waited at an open car park for the Barisan Nasional ceramah to start. Many also huddled along the five-foot way of shops flanking the car park.
MCA Youth central committee member Khor Chin Ghee told the audience that Barisan had always kept its promise and that the ceramah would go on as scheduled despite the rain. He also focused on water shortage.
According to him, a woman who was expecting twins had a miscarriage recently after lugging containers of water from a truck to her house for her family's consumption.
Khor said many elderly folk were forced to do so as well so that their children who were away at work could have water when they returned home in the evening. He blamed the Selangor government for the water shortage and the problems it had created.
He advised Kajang folk to reject Pakatan Rakyat if they do not want to suffer from water shortage anymore.
Barisan's candidate, MCA vice-president Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, is in a straight fight with PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail for the Kajang state seat this Sunday.
Apart from local problems, the personal attributes of the candidates are also strong talking points during campaigning.
MCA president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the Kajang by-election was orchestrated by PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who wanted to be Selangor Mentri Besar.
He said Anwar fielded his wife Dr Wan Azizah after his sodomy conviction four days before nomination disqualified him from contesting. He urged voters to give Chew, 50, a chance to make a difference in their lives.
Chew's strong points are her experience and good track record in serving her constituents during her two-term tenure as Petaling Jaya Utara MP until 2008.
Feedback shows that many Kajang folk harbour hopes of having an assemblyman who can resolve the many local problems faced since the 2008 general election.
The list is long, including roads riddled with pot holes, clogged drains, poor garbage management, traffic congestion, flooding as well
as an increase in business licence fees and assessment.
PKR's Lee Chin Cheh was said to have gone "missing" from the constituency after winning the Kajang seat in the general election on May 5 last year. He resigned in January to pave the way for the by-election.
While Pakatan's campaign is focused on national issues, Anwar was quick to promote his wife during the ceramah in Sg Chua on Sunday.
"She won a gold medal and it is still listed in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland," he said.
Dr Wan Azizah, 62, won a gold medal in obstetrics and gynaecology, and is a qualified ophthalmologist.
Anwar said Dr Wan Azizah had continued to volunteer her services as an eye doctor after
he became the Deputy Prime Minister, questioning her detractors who have called her
a puppet.
The two candidates certainly have their strong points.
The younger and bubbly Chew is active and energetic, and attended a cycling event earlier on Sunday.
Dr Wan Azizah is soft-spoken and affable. She went on stage to recite poems at a ceramah at Metro Point, admitting to the crowd that she was a bit of nervous because poems is a forte of her husband and not hers.
Into the last lap of campaigning, both sides are seizing any ounce of opportunity to be with the voters – come rain or shine.

Freeride skiers looking for the legendary performance of Black Diamond's Factor platform but with a slightly softer flex, prepare to get giddy; the Factor 110 Alpine Touring Boot is officially here. Part of Black Diamond's Freeride Power Series, this boot is designed to provide plenty of response and all-day comfort both in bounds and out.
- Triax Pro frame tech features a stiff forward flex for smooth fore/aft power transfer and impressive lateral stiffness
- 102-Millimeter-last designed to maximize comfort and performance in the toe box while providing plenty of snugness near the heel
- A flex-rating of 110 strikes the right balance between energy transfer, precise control, and overall comfort
- Medium-stiff Power Fit Light liner with Strobel base reduces weight for touring efficiency, is thermformable, and includes a Boa closure system for a precise fit and on-the-go adjustability
- Rubber outsole provides grip in cold conditions for touring versatility
- Includes Black Diamond's interchangeable alpine DIN-compatible sole blocks (AT-lugged blocks sold separately)
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Great Comfortable Boot
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Been in them for one season and love them. After they break in they feel like a sock. They tend to be a bit cold but a decent warm sock takes care of that. Couldn't recommend this boot more, responsive on the downhill and comfy on the uphill
I don't do much touring but could possibly do it in the future. Do you think these would work well as a pure downhill boot or would a regular dedicated downhill boot be a better choice? Thanks
These books are stiff and sturdy enough to wear as a pure downhill boot (I wouldn't take them into the park everyday tho). But of course a boot style with more of a racing or carving heritage (other brands besides BD) may perform better depending on your skiing style.
Great boots... but beware
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I skied a season on these last year, and love them (I had them heat moulded which has really helped with pinching).
Fair warning: changing out the sole blocks is not nearly as easy as you might think. The fit between the boot and the block is very tight and it's not a quick thing you can do in the parking lot... it's bloody frustrating and a drag if you decide you want to tour instead of ski in the resort at the last minute. Not the best feature of these boots.
Also, I'm a woman, and found these to be way more comfortable than the women's version... the heel cup is wider and doesn't pinch as badly.
I don't do much touring but could possibly do it in the future. Do you think these would work well as a pure downhill boot or would a regular dedicated downhill boot be a better choice? Thanks
Sorry for the delay Wade! I think they're great as an in bounds boot. It's what I use them for primarily and have no complaints.
BD sole change
sweet sound track! any idea what the name is?
Great boot
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Awesome boot. Nice and stiff with the 110 flex on the downhill. But great on the uphill when you undo the buckles.
Wondering about durability in these boots...
Wondering about durability in these boots in regard to hard charging rather than the uphill trek. How confident do you feel dropping rocks and maching through frozen spring corn on these? 185lbs 6'4" skiing 195 AK JJ's.
Definitely thermo mold them. Actually take them to a good boot fitter in your area and get a footbed made also. the total package is expensive, but 100% worth it. The foot bed stops your arch from falling over and will help with the width.
Roger that; thank you much! I skied the season on these and my old Superfeet and loved that setup. What a great boot!
Anyone else find the boot to fit a little...
Anyone else find the boot to fit a little small/narrow? It seems a bit tight in the forefoot, but perhaps a thermo-mold would solve the issue, or perhaps a size up?
Hey Kyler,
These boots are an average to slightly wider last width at 102mm. I would suggest trying a themo-mold, and keep in mind that as you ski in them they will pack out a bit which could help the fit as well.
How big of a difference is this boots...
How big of a difference is this boots stiffness gonna effect me from the Factor 130? Like if I get the 110 will I be wishing for more control or will the 130 just be a bit tighter on my foot?
*EDIT* I'm 6'1" 155 lbs. Skiing on Mr.Pollards Opus
Depending on your height/weight you may really enjoy the change to a less stiff boot. I moved a way from racing stiff boots a few years ago and I'm very happy. Not as much leg fatigue and more lively/forgiving. The control aspect should only be noticeable if you are straight lining the front side of the mountain. You'll be happy you made the move.
Would these work for a rippin chick...
Would these work for a rippin chick skier(145lbs) wiht a wide foot???
Yea, they would be awesome for a rippin' lady or a lighter weight man.
>>>>>>>P.S. Also check out the BD shiva its the same boot but a different graphic.
27 yo. male 125lbs. I'm looking to replace...
27 yo. male 125lbs. I'm looking to replace my Icon x boot. Will be used for Ski patrol, free ride and light touring. I'm an aggressive skier and value performance over comfort, but don't want to compramise eithere aspect.
I would say this will work out for you. I eventually chose the Method, but I liked this one as well and would probably be better with added stiffness for a more aggressive skiier.
stiff flex is higher over-rated! it's like the old day's of who can ride the longest ski! if you want have fun hit the bumps,actually articulate your your turns!!! ignore "gotta go stiff bro" mantra. if your gonna run gates and go 70mph+ YES get a stiff boot. otherwise 100-110 is perfect!
I ske with lange banshee from ~17 years...
I ske with lange banshee from ~17 years ago. Love them but need an update. I am an aggressive skier but i weigh 140 lbs and never raced so not lookijg for 130 flex. is the 110 factor a good boot for me?
On paper it is a good boot but nothing can tell you better than getting it on your foot and checking it out! If you are skiing 17 year old boots the technology has changed drastically so make sure to try things on.
Pat4545937...what did you end up doing? I'm in a similar situation, old school aggressive Lange skier, now looking for a AT book for my Fritschi bindings.

The Voice Contestants Dish About Their Battle Round Experiences
March 06, 2012 05:59 PM by Shayla Perry
They came, they saw, and in most cases, they conquered. Find out what Jesse Campbell and Chris Mann of Team Christina, Jordis, Brian Fuente, and RaeLynn of Team Blake, and Team Cee Lo's Cheesa had to say about their first (and thankfully their last) Battle Round experience on NBC's The Voice, working with their advisers, and what they really think about the team members they were paired against after the jump.
Here's what the artists from NBC's The Voice had to say in their latest interview….
On the person they thought they were going to face in the Battle Round…
Cheesa: "I was preparing myself to be paired with WADE or Jamar [Rogers], because I feel like they're more of my style. It was very nerve-wracking. Angie [Johnson] is a beast. When I first watched her audition I wasn't expecting [her to be a] rock star. She owned the stage, she has such a great presence, so I was definitely intimidated and scared, but…she's dope. She's a beast. That's all I can say."
Jesse Campbell: "I wasn't really expecting Anthony [Evans] for whatever reason. I just knew that they wouldn't put two Christian background performers together, and when they did, I'm like, 'Oh well, it is what it is, so let's have fun with it.'"
Chris Mann: "I actually thought I was going to get Anthony, who Jesse ended up battling. I don't know why I thought that. The other thing, being the classical sort of opera guy on the show, I thought perhaps they were going to put me with Moses Stone, the rapper, purely because they didn't know what else to do with us."
RaeLynn: "I actually wasn't that shocked 'cause Blake [Shelton] would always joke with me and Adley [Stump] because she was from Oklahoma and I was from Texas and he would always like say stuff about it. So I kinda, in the back of my head thought he would put me with Adley, but then I also thought maybe Jordan [Rager] because he's my age, so I thought either Adley or Jordan; it wasn't too much of a surprise."
Brian Fuente: "I think, looking back, for Jordis and I to be paired with one another, first of all we were surprised – both of us were extremely surprised at that moment when Blake chose us two. But looking back, I think it does make sense because we are the two rockers of the group, so we were both shocked, but it kinda made sense."
Jordis: "It was funny because Brian and I have become friends throughout this whole process and I think as obvious [as] the pairing was, we were both hoping that our names wouldn't be called together. So…we didn't want to battle each other. Nobody wants to battle each other.
On working with the special guest advisers…
Chris Mann: "Speaking with Lionel [Richie] was an honor for me, as somebody on the show who's really trying to represent the male vocalist category, and who better than Lionel Richie. They didn't actually show a lot of what we talked about. We had one moment — I was really not in a good place that day as they showed, mentally. I was also very sick and wasn't singing my best, and Lionel and Christina both said some very inspirational things to me that helped snap me out of it and give me a lot of confidence about how they handled singing when they're sick. And Lionel said something in particular that I took away which was, 'The you that showed up today has been enough,' and I certainly was not feeling that way at all, but I remembered that and took that into the Battle Round for sure, and I'm very much thankful to him for saying that to me."
RaeLynn: "I had been talking about Miranda Lambert ever since I first auditioned for the show in Nashville. She's been such an inspiration to me and for [Blake] to bring her on as an adviser, I almost had a heart attack. I told myself I wasn't gonna cry, 'cause I didn't want her to think I was like a crazy, psycho fan, but I almost did cry because I've been listening to her ever since I was 11-years-old and being able to meet someone that has inspired you so much in music, was just a dream come true for me. For her to tell me that she loved my voice and for me just to stay who I am and who I am is unique, and all the compliments she gave me will be compliments that I'll live with for the rest of my life and it was truly a moment I'll never forget. She's such an amazing person and I love her and Blake so much, and I can't believe that The Voice let me meet the person that I have been listening to my whole life, so that was pretty magical for me.
Jesse Campbell: "I feel as though Christina and Lionel, they really gave me advice that I will remember for the rest of my life: 'Don't overdo it, just do you, and own the moment, but at the same time, remember that you're singing with someone, and the both of you have to sell the song together. After you do you and make the moment without doing too much, then graciously hand it off to your partner.' So, that's something I'll take with me throughout the rest of my career."
Brian Fuente: "Walking through that door and seeing Kelly Clarkson was absolutely shocking. Just to be able to sit there side-by-side with such an amazing talent was just incredible. She's been through this experience before and she just taught me so much about being confident, and she was just complimenting me on my voice and just, 'You got it, you've got what it takes,' and just hearing that from her was — those words were irreplaceable. It was just mind-blowing that we were able to share that experience together."
On what they learned from working with their Battle partners…
Chris Mann: "I said it last night, and I believe it's true…I've never worked with a singer who displayed so much emotion with every note and every word, and I would get sort of lost watching Monique [Benabou] perform 'The Power of Love,' knowing that I had to come in. And I would get really self-conscious because I would feel like such a stiff compared to her — with so much passion. If I learned anything from the Battle Round, it's that connecting and emoting every word in every song you sing is extremely important, and Monique is a genius at that."
Jesse Campbell: "Singing and working with Anthony, it was a joy, because Anthony is such a great person, and it made it so much more challenging as part of the competition. Because as Jordis said, we don't do what we do to battle; we do what we do because we love it, and from a place of love, and cooperation, and to work with Anthony, we both had to set aside what it was that we came here to do as far as the loving and approach it from the competitive point of view. And Anthony certainly sings with a lot of emotion, and he didn't let anything that I said or anything that I did effect him to the point where he didn't deliver. And that's what I appreciate and what I got from working with Anthony. And whether we were practicing on stage or not, he was always Anthony, and that's what I loved about him"

I have gone back and forth a couple times with a Arc Rear Rack (ie not the aluminum) on my Dahon Speed D7 and I am curious if you guys run a rear rack on your folder and why.
I don't commute on my folder and only occasionally fold. I haven't found a use for the rack and if anything it hinders (not greatly) its ability to fold. I haven't bought panniers either but given how the dahon folds, I don't know if I would buy two. I basically use the bike for mixed travel or when there is no bike rack. My only reservation for ditching it entirely is if I need it.
So do you guys use your racks on your folders, and if so why?

Rumors on the blogosphere have it that the OQO may no longer be. The diminutive UMPC (ulta-mobile PC) that attempts to be both a netbook and a smartphone/PDA may be folding its operations. The Model 2+ was announced several months ago, but a release date was never announced. It now looks like that the Model 2+ won't be heading into production. Web retailer eXpansys even cancelled pre-orders for the 2+, citing uncertainties:
Dear Customer,
Unfortunately eXpansys has taken the decision, due to uncertainties
to stock availability of the OQO Model 2+, to remove the OQO model
from our web site..
The cancellation of pre-orders combined with the sudden resignation of the CEO have led many to believe that the company has released its last UMPC in the Model 2. According to jkOnTheRun, a moderator on another web forum has stated that the company is strapped for cash: "It lacks the funds to keep going, cash is tight and work hours have been reduced."
An OQO competitor could be seen in the HTC Shift, which features a sliding keyboard and tilting screen. The Shift, while not as pocketable as the OQO, features a larger screen. Both models are capable of running a variant of the full Windows operating system. HTC has not announced any intentions on replacing the aging Shift since its release.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico pharmacists are being trained to prescribe a drug that can reverse the effects of a heroin overrode if administered quickly.
The Santa Fe New Mexican (http://bit.ly/1eUuP1w ) reports that the state Board of Pharmacy on Tuesday completed training the first 60 pharmacists on the use of naloxone, which is sold under the brand name Narcan.
The medicine is administered by attaching a nasal-tip inhaler to a small vial, which is used to spray a mist into the nose membrane. The drug flows directly to the brain, blocking opioids and restoring breathing.
Emergency rooms and some responders carry the drug, but Dale Tinker of the New Mexico Pharmacists Association says increased availability is a plus for public health because of the state's high rate of deaths from drug overdoses.

May 24, 2016
Trooper Jimmy Fulford died in 1992 after he searched the trunk of a car on Interstate Ten in Jefferson County.
As he was searching he triggered a bomb concealed in a microwave oven. The device was intended for a Marianna woman who was part of a drug distribution scheme, but the man delivering the bomb was pulled over for speeding about two hours away from his intended target.
Thirty-nine-year-old Paul Augustus Howell of Fort Lauderdale was convicted of building the bomb and was sent to death row in 1995. Howell's latest attorney argued that he should be granted a new trial because the original lawyer was ineffective and because trooper Fulford violated Highway Patrol policy by conducting an illegal search.
The state's highest court rejected those arguments and upheld the sentence of death.

So I have a Shimano Deore derailleur sitting around (a triple purchased in 2005), if I hook it up to a set of 2005 Sora STI shifters will it be all weird? I.e. the backwards shifting or will it be alright?
So I have a Shimano Deore derailleur sitting around (a triple purchased in 2005), if I hook it up to a set of 2005 Sora STI shifters will it be all weird? I.e. the backwards shifting or will it be alright?
I suppose the combination will work. Try it and check if it works.
Just to clarify, when you say "backwards shifting" you are describing a "low normal" *rear* derailleur?
Derailleurs do not care what or who is pulling on thier cables. They just do what they are told.
So a shimano rear derailleur is going to work just fine with campy levers?Originally Posted by MrCjolsen
If I read your post correctly I think you are talking about a front derailleur. If so, it will not work properly with the Sora brifters and the pull ratio is different between the Shimano Road and Mountain Groups. You will need a road front to work with Sora.
If you look at a mountain front and a road front, the upper half of the pull lever where the cable attaches is almost twice as long as the equivalent lever on a road derailleur.
Additionally, the mountain derailleur will foul the front edge of the rear wheel on most road frames due to the narrow clearance between the seat tube and the tire. Road derailleurs work outboard of the centerline and do not get between the frame and the tire.
Sure it will move just not where you want it to. I think you understood the original post. He was asking if Rapid Rise derailleurs would work with a Shimano road shifter. The answer is the rear will work fine. You need a Shimano road specific front to use the Sora front brifter.Originally Posted by Proximo

This is an interesting point and not limited to MTB front derailleurs. Shimano's 8-speed RX-100, 105 and Ultergra road fds had actuating arms (distance from the pivot to the cable anchor bolt) much longer than their 9 and 10-speed fds. I ran into the rear tire clearance problems when I first installed a 105 8-speed triple fd on my '96 Litespeed. I had to use a band-on fd and a 115 mm bottom bracket (118 was recommended) to keep the arm from hitting the rear tire when in the big chainring.Originally Posted by maddmaxx
When I finally upgraded to 9-speed the problem disappeared completely.
Did those 8 speed derailleurs have a bend in the actuator arm. The reason I ask is that I am sitting here looking at the more modern "flatbar" front derailleur. It has the long arm of an MTB derailleur but the arm is almost straight up and down so that the mechanism still stays outboard of the tire. I wonder if this derailleur would be a fix for the situation that you describe.
I wish we could compile a table of all of the mix and match variations of Shimano FD's ratio's and matching levers. Seems like this question comes up often.
Actually, I was just responding to MrCJolson's obviously silly statement that derailleur's don't care what's tugging them. They do if you want them to shift correctly.Originally Posted by cs1
If the OP could clarify whether the Deore in question is a front or rear derailer, and if rear, whether it is Rapid Rise or not, his question could be answered quite easily and without dragging Campy into it.
if you are asking about the rear, all modern Shimano Derailleurs use the same pull ratio, so if you use 7/8 or 9 speed shifters with your Deore derailleur it should work fine. as long as the shifter/cassette matches. For example I use a 2006 deore XT low normal derailleur with my 7 speed system...the cassette matches the shifter. On my touring bike I use an XT derailleur with my 105 brifters and it works fine too.
To the other question, yes, Shimano Derailleurs work fine with campy shifters, so long as you adjust the pull ratio via a jtek shiftmate. Lots of users on this forum do this. Campy shifters work well with any front derailleur, since the shifters are essentially friction based.
DogBoy has it right. I kept reading down the thread hoping that someone would summarize what's up, and he did. So thanks.
This is assuming the OP is talking about a rear derailler.
Shimano's front deraillers have different cable-pull ratio in road groups than in mountain groups.
I was about to make a similar post, but I think this thread answers my question. I currently have a Sora (triple) FD with ST-R500 shifters. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 105 FD, and I'm now assuming that this is basically a no-brainer -- correct?
I'm running 8 speeds in the rear and the 105 FD is listed as for 9/10 gearing, but I also assume that the FD doesn't really care what cassette you've got behind it.
DougG...your setup will be fine.
actually I'm talking a rear derailleur. And I had read that it made it shift backwards (i.e the lever for a bigger cog dropped it into lower cogs and vice versa) but in retrospect that may just be for the front. and now that I think about it my road downtube shifters worked with the same MTB derailleur. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the advice!
I stand corrected.Originally Posted by Proximo

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
The KitchenAid KHB2351 3-Speed Hand Blender wins a stick-blender shootout at one prominent testing organization, handling every task with ease. It comes in a close second in another round up that includes testing. However, it's not quite as powerful as our Best Reviewed Immersion Blender, the Breville BSB510XL Control Grip (Est. $100). That means that the KitchenAid won't handle heavy tasks like making nut butters. If you don't need an immersion blender for that, reviewers say this is a top value since that's the only major difference between the two appliances.
Performs admirably in expert testing. In one top test, the KitchenAid KHB2351 "sailed through pesto, smoothies, soup, hummus, whipped cream, and mayonnaise." In another, it was a close runner up to the top pick, the Breville BSB510XL Control Grip (Est. $100). In that second roundup, the tester says it created an excellent vortex and did well in all tests except turning nuts into nut butters and completely pureeing soup. The KitchenAid includes a 3-cup BPA-free blending cup, which reviewers say is great for drinks and small batches of sauce, a whisk attachment, for whipping cream and eggs, and a 2.5-cup chopper bowl for nuts and cheeses. It gets very good feedback from users for its versatility in a variety of kitchen tasks and very few complaints related to performance.
A couple of quibbles. This is the only area in which we found any consistent complaints about the KitchenAid KHB2351. You have to hold down the power button continuously to blend, and a number of owners as well at least one expert reviewer say it can be difficult and tiring. We also read some complaints that the blending shaft is difficult to detach, especially if you let it set a while after a job. However, except for those complaints -- and they are in the minority -- this KitchenAid hand blender gets very good reviews for ease of use and cleaning. The vast majority of users don't have an issue with having to hold down the power button, or it's simply not a deal-breaker for them. All attachments and accessories are dishwasher safe -- top rack only, though.
Good reviews for customer service. The KitchenAid KHB2351 is reported by users as sturdy and durable; we found a few scattered complaints of breakage, but not enough to concern us. It also comes with a strong, one-year warranty, and KitchenAid gets top ratings for customer service. The shaft is polished stainless steel, and the handle is available in white, contour silver, and onyx black. The price varies a little depending upon the finish option.

The KitchenAid 3-Speed Hand Blender came in a strong second to the top pick in this roundup, the Breville Control Grip Immersion Blender. Christine Cyr Clisset says the KitchenAid performed very well, with just a bit less power than the Breville. That kept it from making smooth peanut butter and resulted in pulp remaining in pureed soups.

Water in Africa

by Ryan Powell, Ait Yaddou, Morocco
When heavy rains occur, the dry riverbed suddenly swells with water. The kids dart back and forth and go running up to the edge of the river as it flows by. People usually go sit on a high hill and actually watch the river come. They do this to see if the river will spill into their fields and damage crops. It is quite a sight to actually see the river come.

Everybody loves the beach. In the summertime, people from the mountains come down to my village to visit relatives and cool off. There are cliffs with natural caves that people have turned into summer homes, where they camp. August is vacation season, and the village fills up. There is a definite festive feel.
We even go swimming sometimes. Morocco is a Muslim country, and as traditional Muslim women, all my village friends always wear headscarves, long skirts, long-sleeved shirts, and even another flowing wrap on top of that. In an ill-fated effort to blend in (my blond hair and blue eyes and stuttering Arabic often give me away), I always wear long skirts and baggy T-shirts and my hair pulled back. So, when my friends told me we were going swimming, I had no idea what to wear. I had a swimsuit, but I thought all that bare skin might not be quite fitting in such a conservative area. So, I put on my swimsuit under my clothes and decided I would just follow everybody else's lead. When we got down to the beach, all my friends pulled off their top layer of clothes, having a full layer on underneath, and plunged into the ocean. I stood for a moment in contemplation and figured, as they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and I plunged into the ocean fully clothed. I left a lot of stuff at home in the U.S.; one of them seems to be the need to wear a bathing suit while swimming.

Some of the little boys like to splash each other with irrigation water, but generally, wasting water is not tolerated. However, on Aushora, kids are allowed to throw water on one another. The boys in my village like to test their skills by jumping across the large irrigation ditch.
by Jessica Seem, Zaouia Village, Morocco
I've seen only one place where kids play with water—where a dry riverbed cuts through the village. There is a small concrete bridge over it, and water sometimes collects in a deep spot next to the bridge. Kids will play with the water by pouring it around, between jugs or old cans.

In what is being considered a brash move, smoker's rights advocates are challenging a New York public smoking ban by, to no one's surprise, choosing to smoke in public anyway. The ban includes New York's state parks, public pools, beaches, and historic sites. The smoker's rights advocates are choosing to continue smoking in these areas despite the fact that they would be charged with disorderly conduct if caught smoking there.
While it is understandable how many smokers are frustrated with the ban, which does not include all public places but most, openly breaking the law is not believed to be the best way to go about it. This has the potential to backfire against the activists as smokers are stigmatized by non-smokers enough as it is. Openly breaking the law in such a brash manner could send the message to non-smokers that smokers in general don't care about the law, they will do as they please. It could also send the message that smokers don't care about the comfort of non smokers. The best course of action would be to go through the proper legal channels and make the voices of the smokers heard, not by actively breaking the law and further making others uncomfortable.

My Titleist Rep friend (daughters boyfriend) talked me into the 910F 3 wood. I got the 15o rh stiff with the A'hina shaft in it. Absolutely love it. Have it set at 1 degree open and stadard loft. I wouldn't call it hook-proof, however it's the closest fairway wood I have had to being hook-proof. Titleist got the entire 910 line right. Looks awesome at address.
The best 3 wood I've ever played. Easy to hit from the tee box or fairway, can work the ball left or right while still getting great distance, sounds great too!
Club was in better than expected condition!This club has great feel and sound and is forgiving. I love the adjust-ability as I'm able to tune it to the ball flight that I am looking for.
This is a reliable 3 wood, and I often use it. And it is still useful.
Very easy to hit and get up in the air. I set my 15* 3W @ A3 to give me a little more loft and lie and this thing just flies. I love the adjustability in this club, I can dial it in right there on the range to see what loft and lie give me the best and most consistent results. 200(worst)-220(best) in 16mph winds and a 40* temp(felt like 30 w/ the wind).

Church leaders criticized the British government's plans to deport failed asylum-seekers.
Justice Minister Kenneth Clarke seeks to cut the legal aid budget, a move that would end repeated legal challenges to failed asylum claims and deportation orders.
Church leaders said tens of thousands of asylum-seekers and immigrants would no longer receive legal aid.
"Cutting the legal aid budget puts already vulnerable people at greater risk of being returned to dangerous situations," said Rachel Lampard, public issues head of Britain's Methodist Church.
