|September 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|June 2006
|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2005 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Flutter Valve
This a crossover study, so all subjects performed both, control and experimental interventions. In Flutter Valve intervention the subjects remained comfortably seated, breathing through the device for 15 minutes, starting off from the total pulmonary capacity, and being free to cough. Thereafter, a 5-min session of cough ensued. In the control intervention the subjects followed the same sequence of the Flutter Valve intervention, but the metallic sphere and the cover of the device were removed. Since the patients were not acquainted with the valve, they did not know its proper assembly. As in the Flutter Valve intervention, during 15 minutes the patients could expectorate spontaneously and return to the device. A 5-min coughing session took place.
Device: Flutter Valve
Flutter Valve (Scandipharm, Birmingham, AL) is shaped like a pipe with a hardened plastic mouthpiece at one end, a plastic protective, perforated cover at the other end, and a high-density stainless steel ball resting in a plastic circular cone on the inside. When the patient expires, a vibratory effect is transmitted to airways by the steel ball oscillation in order to facilitate mucociliary clearance.
In our study, the use of the equipment was guided by a registered physical therapist, but the position (angle) was determined by the patient, according to his/her adaptation and perception of effectiveness of sputum clearance. The patients remained comfortably seated, breathing through the device for 15 minutes, starting from the total pulmonary capacity, and being free to cough. Thereafter, a 5-minute session of cough was done.
Other Name: FLUTTER® Mucus Clearance Device
Detailed Description:
The application of airway clearance techniques is considered an important component in the treatment of bronchiectasis patients (Van der Shans, 1997). For this purpose, a number of techniques has been introduced in the last decades. The Flutter Valve was initially proposed for the treatment of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) (Lindemann, 1992), but there is not enough evidence about its utilization in patients with bronchiectasis (Van der Shans & cols, 1999).
The effects of the Flutter Valve on respiratory mechanics of patients with bronchiectasis have been evaluated by forced spirometry (Pryor e cols, 1994; Gondor e cols, 1999; Thompson e cols, 2002). This approach however, does not allow the characterization of mucus transportation along the airways (Williams, 1994). The forced oscillation technique (FOT), a non-invasive alternative to characterize respiratory mechanics, allows the evaluation of respiratory mechanics at different frequencies without special maneuvers (Dubois e cols., 1956). According to eligibility criteria and in a randomized order, the patients were submitted to two protocols (control and Flutter Valve intervention), with one-week interval between them (washout). Respiratory mechanics and expectorated sputum volume were assessed before and after each intervention, in order to assess the Flutter Valve effect on tracheobronchial sputum removal.

The Maurice Multi-Chem plant on LA Hwy 92 wants to discharge reverse osmosis reject water into a road side ditch.
Multi-Chem needs approval from state environmental officials, but in the meantime nearby residents, like Marcella Manuel, are putting up a fight.
"I don't understand why they keep letting these companies get away with all the non-compliance that we have found," said Manuel.
According to the state Department of Environmental Quality—or DEQ—"During the preparation of this permit, it has been determined that the discharge will have no adverse impact on the existing uses of the receiving waterbody. As with any discharge, however, some change in existing water quality may occur."
"We don't know what measuring stick they are using to even say that in the first place, but not effecting the water, they're saying it's not going to adversely affect it but it is going to affect it, so what does that mean?" said Manuel.
We reached out to Multi-Chem, a Halliburton service, who sent us an e-mail saying "the water purification unit utilizes filtration to remove certain impurities and hardness from the public water system end quote…then referring us to the hundreds of pages of documents on the DEQ website."
Residents will be meeting with representatives from both Halliburton and DEQ to discuss the details of the permit in about an hour at North Vermilion High School.
In Vermilion Parish, residents there are protesting a chemical plant looking to discharge chemicals into a road side ditch.

Jordan Reed–Cowboy Ankle EnemyPosted by on October 13, 2013 – 10:01 pm
If there's one player that has maximized his playing time through the first five games of the season, it's rookie tight end Jordan Reed.
Some questioned the decision to draft a tight end in the third round this year, but few are still harboring doubt with every passing, jaw-dropping play.
Once again when Robert Griffin III needed someone to bail him out, the rookie out of the University of Florida was there for him and just made an absolutely sick ankle breaking move on Barry Church.

Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. It's not too hot or too cold (usually).
And the colors are fabulous.
- Until they end up all over the ground
- But, we'll pretend we don't know that part
The other bonus I have is I am typically training for my 60-mile, 3-Day Walk for the Cure.
The pictures in the presentation were taken along some of my routes.
Not a bad way to spend a Fall day.

How to Generate an Effective Gear Checklist
If you you travel on a regular basis, You might have your own way of putting a list together to ensure you have everything they need for the trip. Be it a business trip, camping trip or for pleasure. If you do have a list, the list may be in your head or on paper. You probably have this list because you have learned from past experiences that if you don't make a list you forget something. On the trips when you forgot something, you might have even updated the list as soon as you realized you forgot that something, or when you returned home. But it is a safe bet that your list changes each time you plan a trip.
This is an important part of the weight cutting process that backpackers go through often when planning for a trip. One of the problems we see when we talk to other backpackers is they don't have any idea how much the individual items weigh or even the grand total of the pack. if you do not know the weight of each item or the weight of the pack as a whole, keep reading as we might just have the answer. We may not know the specific weight of each item off the top of our heads, but we do have list that has the answer.
When you are designing a comprehensive gear list you need to sit down and figure out what is going into your pack. As you all should know by now, we focus on making our packs light but functional. There are people that take all kinds of different approaches to getting together pack lists. Some people prefer comforts from home and don't worry too much about pack weight. Some are more extreme and will not take anything with a tag on it to cut weight. This is Steve's approach. He is turning into what we call a "Gram Weenie" he has cut off the tags from his ENO hammock and bug net and even cut lengths of chord from his stuff sacks. All of this to cut weight from his pack. Trimming the fat so to speak.
In order to really figure out what works for you, you must test and try out different pack combinations until you find the one that really shouts out "Eureka... I am as light as I can get!". If your pack is not changing with each trip, then you might not be trying hard enough to optimize your setup.
Finding that fine line between what you "want" and what you "need" is what optimizing your pack is all about. It's a fine line, but if you work hard enough and look close enough, you will see it.
Having someone with the same values on pack efficiency and the same idea on having a light pack, will come in handy during the preparation phase. You can work with a buddy and critique each others pack to offer a second set of eyes.
We have come up with a pack list that would be a good starting point for a less experienced hiker. There are ways that you can use Microsoft Excel to generate equations in the cells to convert grams, to ounces and then into pounds. When you do that you can see where your weight is mostly coming from and it allows you to see where you can cut weight with new gear. As you can see in the spreadsheet below you can list each item and a short description. weigh your gear in grams and then enter that information in the "Weight in GRAMS" column. the spreadsheet will keep a running total of ounces and pounds for each item and a grand total at the bottom of each section.
Our advise to you is to use our list as a guide (if you want to) and then add and cut out of it what you would like in order to find your perfect pack. If you subscribe to our blog we will personally send you the spreadsheet with the equations already in it so you can use it to weigh your items and cut your weight. So, if you are interested in getting the spreadsheet then all you have to do is subscribe to our blog on the left hand side where it says Follow By Email and we will send you the file with the equations already built in. Feel free to customize it to your pack specifications and weights!

Tiger Woods Predicted This McIlroy Thing, Ya Know
Digging through some archives, I found this little nugget from all the way back in March of 2009, and I thought I'd share it. This is Tiger Woods speaking on Rory McIlroy.
Here goes ...
"There's no doubt," Woods said. "But hopefully it's not while I'm around," he added, laughing. "Certainly he has the talent. We can all see it. The way he hits the ball, the way he putts, the way he can chip, and get up-and-down. He has the composure and all the components to be the best player in the world. It's just a matter of time and experience and then gaining that experience in big events. That just takes time and, I mean, geez, he's only 19. Just give him some time and I'm sure he'll be there."
I hate to tell Tiger this, but it seems McIlroy is there during your time, and sadly, you are not.
Still, cool to see him say this more than two years ago, and now with it rolling out, getting to watch what others say about him now.

STAGE TUBE: First Look - Trailer for Ben Affleck's ARGO
ARGO is coming to theaters on October 12th from Warner Bros. Pictures. The drama thriller is directed by and stars Ben Affleck. The cast also includes Alan Arkin, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Kerry Bishe, Kyle Chandler, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Tate Donovan and Victor Garber.
Based on true events, ARGO chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis--the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.
On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador.
Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.
Get a first look at the trailer for the upcoming film below!

- Dragon's-Eye View: Hippogriffon?
Where do you stand on the visual design of the hippogriff? For me it depends on their origin, as the mythological griffin is described as equal parts lion and eagle, with the hippogriff being the rare offspring of a horse and griffin, because, as in Dungeons & Dragons, griffins really like to eat horses (which sucked because they were easier to deal with than griffins).
Dungeons & Dragons, on the other hand, divides them into two similar-but-separate critters. I say, why not stick with a theme? Lions and eagles are griffons, horses and eagles are hippogriffs, and I am totally cool with them having a horse's arse with a full-on eagle's head (I think that the 3rd Edition hippogriff looked kind of odd with the beaked-mouthed horse, though the hoofish-talons were kind of neat).
I think the image above is perfectly serviceable (though it was odd that it was the only hippogriff I could find in all of Magic: The Gathering). Similarly, the hippogryph from World of WarCraft is another solid example, albeit with antlers. Actually, why not go further and mash other things with eagles? It is not like animal-plus-animal monsters are exactly an innovation in the game, after all.
You could even try to tie the entire griffo-sphere together with a similar origin, whether it is crazy wizard, nature spirit, or eagle god. Maybe a couple of wizards/spirits/god decided to have a bet on who could make the best eagle-combo.

addictive!This is the second eye gel I've tried, and it's way safer in terms of ingredients than the one I had before, which shall remain nameless. And it works just as well! I'm not sure that it helps dark circles go away, and don't expect it to do anything for wrinkles, but when I put it on it makes me feel like I DIDN'T just roll out of bed. And now in the morning I don't feel quite right if for some rea...read moreson I forgot to use it. I bought it as part of a 3 piece kit at Target for $20, so it was an awesome deal. And I know it will last a long time because after like 2 months I haven't even made a dent in it. — 7 years, 3 months agoNotQuiteGlam | 190 reviews

Will 3rd time be the charm?This is the second product I wasted money on that promises to reduce puffiness, hence the title. (Also tried Garnier's Skin Renew Anti-Puff Roller) This was recommended to me by an online friend. I've heard about cucumber extract for years....but Cosmetics Cop Paula Begoun says it's the coldness of the veg, not the extract. In that case, any cold item should work. This product leaves a fi...read morelm, even when using very little! It also takes a few minutes to dry or absorb. The worst part is you can't put sunscreen or make-up over it, or it will rub off/"pill up". Since it has no SPF either, it is useless for daytime use. It does feel soothing, and it smooths my lines just a bit. I like the fragrance, and I keep it in the frig for extra cooling. But there was little improvement, if any, on the puffiness. Unlike some women, I had no reaction to the product. One is probably better off drinking green tea and eating cucumbers to get those anti-oxidant benefits from them. I will use this up, but I'm not buying it again. I'd use it at night when puffy eyes don't matter and I have tired eyes, long day, etc. I should say I'm 51, and these "pouches" or "bags", whatever, could be due to aging as well. Still, I don't want to look tired all the time, or scare people. So my search continues for something that reduces that puffy look even a LITTLE BIT! I've also tried Preparation H and pressing chilled spoons under my eyes. I have allergies which can make my eyes look even worse....I wear glasses so that hides them a bit, but I don't wear them all the time. — 4 years, 3 months agoSupernaturalfan | 53 reviews
Alright, I guessWhen I was out shopping for eye creams, this one barely won out against another one I was looking at because I really like the brand and I liked the idea. I've used it for a little over a week and I do think that my dark circles have diminished. But...

I have a dry spot under my left eye and it hasn't gotten better at all since using this product.

Currently, one lady from Tollywood has become the hot discussion. She is Sana (not the wild and sexy Sana Khan), the noted actress who is seen in character roles. Recently, a picture of her was released and this was from a Malayalam cinema. Sana looks as young as a college going girl.
Though many years have passed age doesn't show on her and there were instances where she was mistaken as the elder sister for her young daughter. While Sana seems to be giving a complex to many other starlets especially the young ones, maybe it is time for her to share her youthful secrets.

Neighbor says vacant home robberies are on the rise
Fri, 22 Jul 2011 21:46:34 GMT —
The Colonial Village Neighborhood Watch in East Albany is concerned about recent burglaries in vacant homes on Hobson Street.
"The last week or so, people are moving out of these homes and as soon as they move out people start coming in and vandalizing them," says Harold Williams, Hobson Street resident and president in the Colonial Village Neighborhood Watch.
According to a police report, an air compression system at 511 Hobson Street was stolen at approximately 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
Williams says a neighbor saw someone trying to steal the air conditioning unit outside of the house when they called 911. Williams says the unit was salvaged but copper and wiring from the air conditioner was taken.
Williams says another home at the corner of Hobson and Roosevelt was stripped of its kitchen appliances
"You can recycle appliances. They'll take those at the recycling place as well. And if there's a bit of copper somewhere in the house, they'll take that and sell it as well," says Albany Police Department Media Manager Phyllis Banks.
Williams wants the neighborhood to take action against these crimes by calling the police when they see criminals in action and trimming back their shrubbery to rob thieves of hiding spots.
"What's happening they're letting all these bushes growing up around here and that's why people can get in and do what they want because nobody's looking at it," says Williams.
Banks says it is very important to make sure when you leave your house vacant, make it look like someone's still home.
"Maintain the property. Make it look like somebody's actually living there: Cut down shrubbery, keep the grass cut and those types of things," says Banks.
Albany police say they are still working on these cases and looking for suspects.
Williams says he urges those who live in the neighborhood to call 911 or police if they see someone in a yard who doesn't live there; he says neighbors should not take matters into their own hands.
Those who live in Colonial Village can attend neighborhood watch meetings on the first Monday of each month at the East Albany precinct.

MARIN'S ECONOMY is rebounding and we need to find ways to attract new businesses and keep those that are growing from moving out of the county.
That's what the experts say. We agree.
Marin, thanks to a variety of factors, including its business diversification, has not seen its economy completely derail, as has taken place in other parts of California.
We took some painful hits during the recession and the sluggish recovery. Many businesses downsized or closed. Jobs were lost and property values declined. Many homeowners found themselves permanently underwater with their mortgages.
But Marin's economy has found its legs. Unemployment, which remained the lowest California through the Great Recession, is dropping. Some businesses see this as an opportunity to grow, reposition themselves or move.
Per-capita personal income has grown 9.32 percent since the 2009 downturn. It's not back to pre-recession levels, but it's headed there, according to the Fall 2012 Marin Economic Bulletin issued by the Marin Economic Forum, an organization of business and governmental leaders.
Jobs and rising incomes generate retail sales and create opportunities for more people to find work.
Marin needs to work harder to make sure the county is a good place to start and grow a business.
Marin long has been a business incubator, especially in the tech sector, but the county needs to do a better job of being a help rather than a hindrance. Taking steps to make sure Marin remains an important part of Lucasfilm's future should be a top priority for local leaders.
Experts, at a recent forum on the local economy, said it is likely that Disney's ownership will boost business for Lucasfilm divisions that still operate in Marin.
Robert Eyler, chief executive officer of the Marin Economic Forum, says Disney's acquisition may be "a great opportunity" for Marin.
We hope he's right. Hundreds of high-paying Marin jobs are at stake.
These workers are important to the entire Marin economy, particularly retail, which has been getting stronger. In the second quarter of 2012, sales tax receipts rose 6.4 percent over the same period last year.
That's a good sign.
In Larkspur, Tiburon and Sausalito, sales tax growth was in double digits.
The forum also warned of an uncertain outlook for commercial space, where both prices and vacancies are higher than in other Bay Area communities. Prices are out of sync with demand, which may be resulting in friends considering opportunities here to look elsewhere for their space.
That issue needs to be addressed and strategies shaped to start filling long-empty spaces, especially if Marin wants to be competitive in attracting and keeping innovators and entrepreneurs.
Marin is still a desirable place to live, but it can't simply rely on that advantage to attract and keep businesses. There is too much at stake given that filling that vacant space will have a "multiplier effect" that can boost many sectors of the economy.
It is encouraging that the outlook for Marin's economy is strong.
We've already seen the alternative over the past several years.
Those difficult times underscore the important role business plays in the quality of life of our communities.

SARASOTA - Dickey Betts got a nice surprise as over 500 people showed up and sang happy birthday to the 70 year old at the White Buffalo Saloon on Friday night. The cake was in the shape of a guitar, what else right?
Dickey Betts and the Great Southern Band along with Gamble Creek Band, put on a tremendous show to help raise money for Toys for Tots. Folks who brought an unwrapped toy were able to get in for the price of admission.
Music is in the veins of the Betts family, as Kim Betts lead singer, for the Gamble Creek Band warmed the crowd up prior to the great performance of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Dickey Betts and the Great Southern Band.
While I was back stage, I told Dickey that his daughter was really doing a great job singing, and he said, as a proud dad would, "Ya, I kinda think that as well" with a chuckle.
To surprise Dickey on his birthday, organizers flew in Dickey's talented son Duane to play guitar, and band member bass guitarist Pedro Arevalo from California.
Tis' the season for giving, and that's what both the bands and the folks showing up did on this night. Making sure some kids would not spend Christmas without a present.

The accident had the makings of an all-too-familiar tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico.
Three men in a sinking boat, struggling as their body temperatures dropped in the 60-degree sea. In the middle of the night. In the middle of nowhere.
But this accident, unlike the one that claimed the lives of three football players earlier this year, had a happy ending. This crew had a device many said could have saved the football players had they had one aboard.
The Coast Guard received an automated signal from the emergency position indicating radio beacon, or EPIRB (pronounced e-perb), about 1:05 a.m. Wednesday, after the men's 32-foot private fishing boat was swamped. They were about 60 miles northwest of Anclote Key.
"Thank God for the EPIRB," said Adam Triplett, 29, one of the men on the boat. "We would not have made it to daylight. That's what saved our lives."
Triplett said he and two of his best fishing buddies, brothers Matthew and Christopher Whalen, set off from Clearwater Pass about noon Tuesday.
The men, who all live in Largo, were looking mostly for grouper or snapper, which they then planned to sell.
"We were just going to do a 2 1/2 day trip, get some extra Christmas money," said Triplett, who works in construction.
By late Tuesday, they called it a night.
About an hour later, shortly after 11 p.m., Triplett said he heard a loud crash.
"It completely woke me up from a dead sleep," Triplett said. "It just sounded like a boat hit us or something. It was so loud."
Triplett woke his friends, who own the vessel.
They realized a large wave slammed into the boat, the Rubicon.
"The water came in so fast that it covered the batteries," he said. "It was just pouring in."
At first, panic set in.
The men had no power, the water was rising and their only source of light came from a lighter and cellphone Triplett had in his bag.
As the water reached the deck, the men dumped about 1,000 pounds of ice and dozens of boxes of live bait that was near the stern.
They used whatever they could to bail the water, Triplett said.
About midnight, they got the EPIRB activated.
The device automatically sends the Coast Guard a boat's GPS coordinates if the boat is filling with water or overturns, said Petty Officer Mariana O'Leary.
But as time wore on, the men began to worry no one was coming. At one point, they got together and prayed.
The men were convinced that at some point, they'd have to take the raft into the water.
Triplett made his way back to the cabin to change into dry clothes.
That's when he heard the helicopter.
The men did not call rescuers or send out a distress signal, but because of the EPIRB alert, the Coast Guard sent a helicopter from Clearwater and started searching, O'Leary said.
Just before 2 a.m., search crews saw a red flare and then the EPIRB's strobe light. With night-vision goggles, crews saw three men on deck, but the boat had sunk so low that getting close with the helicopter might kick up waves that could pitch the men into the sea.
Instead, O'Leary said, a rescue swimmer was lowered into the water to take the men away from the boat, where they were hauled up to the helicopter one by one in a basket.
The sinking boat was left behind.
The three men had minor injuries from being knocked around and were treated when they landed at the Coast Guard's Clearwater base, O'Leary said.
She said they were lucky injuries weren't much worse. If it weren't for the automatic EPIRB signal, rescue crews may not have arrived in time to save them.
They also had life jackets and life rafts, she said.
"This was a textbook search-and-rescue case," O'Leary said. "They were prepared. We were really happy to be able to go and get them."
EPIRB devices aren't mandatory on private vessels, but they are highly recommended, she said. "Right up there with an emergency cell phone or radio."
The EPIRB's importance was tragically highlighted in March, when NFL players Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith, and former USF football players Will Bleakley and Nick Schuyler took a fishing trip without the device and wound up overturned and stranded.
Only Schuyler survived. The Coast Guard never received a distress signal.
EPIRB devices vary in size and usually cost between $400 and $1,400.
Said Triplett: "I will make sure that any boat I go on has an EPIRB."

Although the college football world remains enamored with Georgia's freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, sophomore Ken Malcome remains far from forgotten on the home front.
The 6-foot, 226-pound running back from Atlanta's Southwest DeKalb High School scored the No. 14 Bulldogs' only touchdown in last Saturday's 35-7 pounding at the hands of No. 3 South Carolina. Although Malcome's scoring dash merely prevented Georgia from being shut out for the first time since 1995 (a 31-0 loss to Alabama), his rushing on the Bulldogs' final possession of the night was symbolic of a team's refusal to give in.
"It was all right," said Malcome of his fourth-quarter work, picking up a team-leading 45 yards on five carries. "We still lost. It would have felt better if we'd won, but they came out and beat us. From a personal standpoint, I thought I did pretty well with the opportunity I was given. It was OK, but we still lost, and I'm not OK with that."
"There's no doubt we got our butts kicked, but Ken came in and definitely provided a spark," freshman tackle John Theus said. "He came in there and did a good job, and from that drive, you can take that we don't give up. No matter how bad we were getting beat, we didn't give up, we kept fighting, and I'm proud of that. And Ken was a big part of it the way he ran the ball. It definitely showed we weren't going to quit on each other."
Malcome has had a colorful career at Georgia. After redshirting as a true freshman, he found himself far down the depth chart as the 2011 season began.
He briefly quit the team last September and drew a one-game suspension in November before starting against Georgia Tech, leading the team in rushing in the Southeastern Conference Championship game and then starting the Bulldogs' Outback Bowl game against Michigan State.
But the arrival of Gurley and Marshall to campus has shifted Malcome back to the sidelines, although he's covered his share of ground this fall. He's played in five of Georgia's six games and has rushed for 197 yards and the first two touchdowns of his college career. He doesn't know if his performance at South Carolina will earn him more snaps, but he's preparing himself just the same.
"I don't know (about additional opportunities)," he said. "I don't get too many chances on the field, but I always say to myself to go out there and do what I've got to do, and I feel I've done that the last couple of games, getting a couple of carries and taking advantage of my opportunities. Until the end of the season, I'm going to keep going."
The veteran back has earned laurels from his teammates for his decidedly hard-nosed style of running.
"Ken's a hard runner," sophomore center David Andrews said. "He's been banged up a bit, but he's a hard runner and it showed. Ken's a great guy, and it was good for him to get back there and get grinding again. He stepped up last season — I think people remember the SEC Championship game, where he was pounding the rock a little bit. He's a hard-nosed, downhill runner, and he's a great guy."
Although he's contributed to the offense in terms of averaging about six carries and 40 yards per outing, Malcome had hoped he'd be more involved at this juncture of the season and his career.
A broken hand suffered in the Buffalo game might have slowed his progress, Malcome reasoned.
"A lot has happened since the beginning of the season, as far as the injury to my hand, which has held me back," he said. "Things haven't gone as planned, so I was set back from where I wanted to be by this point in the season.
"I thought I'd be farther along at this point, but not everybody has All-American careers. You take what God gives you and what opportunity gives you and go with it. I'm always ready. I've got experience — there's no pressure on me. I know how to run the ball against a college team. When I get in, I just run the ball and let things take place without thinking."
Like baseball's pinch hitter and basketball's sixth man, Malcome knows he can be called upon at any time to get in the game and make something happen.
"I'm always ready," he said. "If they call me, I'll do it proudly."

For years I went through periods where it was a dream stemming from Maddie's attack which caused her eye injury. That's finally settled way down, I can't even remember the last time I'e dreamed it. But I guess I understand the reason behind that dream. But now I keep having this same dream, and its driving me nuts! It's very dark and dreary out, foggy. I am walking around in a field and the grass is dewy so my feet are wet and cold. It seems like I am walking around aimlessly, very depressed, no will to do anything. And then I find my best friends grave stone, and I collapse to my knees and cry and cry and cry. And I usually wake up crying. It is completely exhausting and I felt like I haven't slept in weeks Help?????

PICTURE a 50-piece orchestra backing one of Durban's hottest bands, Gangs of Ballet, in a picturesque setting with nothing but summer skies and chilled vibes. Sigh. Talk about pure romance.
So this Valentine's Day, if you're wanting to spoil your loved ones, head to Durban Botanical Gardens for Music at the Lake and share a once- in-a-lifetime experience together.
The concert will feature The Durban City Orchestra, which has joined forces with alternative rock band, Gangs of Ballet.
Tonight chatted to Gangs of Ballet frontman Brad Klynsmith and the conductor of Durban City Orchestra, Russell Scott, to learn more about the concept.
"We were approached by the organisers as well as the Botanic Gardens," says Klynsmith.
"The guy who runs the orchestra teaches at a school we went to, so we have some background with him.
"We're so stoked. It's like a child- hood dream of mine ever since I was 12 and wanting to play with the orchestra and it's finally coming true."
The orchestra presented Music at the Lake last year with Ard Matthews of Just Jinjer, to great success, and hopes to achieve similar results.
Scott reveals: "Yeah, that show went so well the event organisers approached us to do one this year and we thought, 'why not?'. We would be honoured to play with Gangs of Ballet, who are one of the best bands in South Africa at the moment."
Gangs of Ballet and the orchestra will share a stage together for the first time. The guys say it's going to be something unique with huge variation.
Scott says: "I've orchestrated their music, so the band will be backed by a 50-piece orchestra, which adds a dynamic element to their songs.
"People have not shared something like this before. Also, the orchestra just rehearsed with the band and they really embraced their music.
"It's great because they are so used to playing classical. They've taken to it really well and there's a great vibe and energy going on."
What can people expect from this love-themed concert?
According to Klynsmith: "As a band, the main thing about playing with an orchestra is that you want to make beautiful music.
"People want to enjoy the moment and get caught up in it. So we hope they just sit and listen and that feeling comes across.
"But it's going to be very interesting and a lot of fun – a cultural experience for Durban people who haven't exper- ienced an orchestra before with a live band.
"We're so excited about it. It's truly going to be an awe-inspiring experience for us to play with the orchestra."
• Gangs of Ballet and the Durban City Orchestra Valentine's Day Concert on Friday in the Durban Botanical Gardens. Pre-sale R120 at www.webtickets.co.za. On the day R140. 7pm. Call 031 322 4021.

Appearing on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Kevin Rudd, President of the Asia Society Policy Institute, cautioned "the stock market plays a relatively small role in the overall context of Chinese financial markets."
Fast Money anchor Melissa Lee discusses her childhood in Long Island, how an early career in consulting prepared her for journalism, and her experiences reporting from China.
Asia Society Executive Vice President Tom Nagorski appeared on CNBC early this morning to discuss the two-day "informal" summit between U.S. President Barack Obama and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
Asia Society President and CEO Vishakha Desai, in Singapore for the Women Leaders of New Asia conference, appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box Thursday morning local time, speaking about U.S.-China trade relations.
"There is definitely a discussion underway on the Hill and on Main Street America about protectionism — somehow that China is taking the jobs away — without understanding exactly how the complexity of trade works," Desai said.

Install the latest pack from http://packs.matroska.org/ (make sure it installs vsfilter) and play the files in your favored DirectShow player.

I still have problems watching Sexy Commando episode 31, even after installing the latest Matroska full pack, including the vsfilter. The video and audio are not synchronised - the video is always lagging behind the audio. I tried various types of media players and none of them worked well. Did anyone successfully play the file without any such errors?

Just out of curiosity, I downloaded this file to see if it works. It does. Let me also say, it looks pretty stupid.... but hey, who am I to judge.
1. Download the Matroska Pack.
2. Isntall the pack.
3. Download Media Player Classic.
4. Disable the built in Matroska Filter.
a) Select Options from the View menu.
b) Click Filters
c) Uncheck the box next to Matroska Spltter.
d) Click OK
5. Restart Media Player Classic.
If this still doesnt work, download the newest version of DirectX.
Then, Install the lastest version of your video card drivers. If you dont understand what that means, check out Step 5 of this post.

Thank you for your help, KeinikuSuki. However, after following steps 1 -5, downloading and installing the latest version of DirectX, downloading and installing the latest version of my video card drivers, I still experience the same problem. In fact, my media player classic can't even open the file and immediately pops up an error message saying that it must be closed. All the other anime videos I've downloaded worked just fine, except this one. I don't know what went wrong.

I'm guessing without the actual error message, but it sounds like a codec incompatability. Try following Step 1 and Step 2 from this post. Be sure to uninstall EVERY codec or codec pack you have installed.
If it still doesn't work, there is always the Last Resort Method.

What? I am washed up!
Try Zoom Player: it doesn't have any external support for .ogm or .mkv, so if it doesn't play in Zoom Player, it's definately a fault of the mkv playback pack, or the codec.
Try random versions of FFDShow too - google for it, there should some sites with lists of different versions. I remember a version that came with a .mkv playback pack (I'm not sure if it was this one) gave me some problems with certain files, so I had to go back to an earlier version.
Hope that helps...

ok, ive done everything listed here. I tried installing everything again and playing it with Zoom player, but i just get error messages. Anyway, im using good ol' VLC player again and its pretty much the same even after installing all these filters. Perhaps no one understood the problem that im having? What i ment to say was that I can see the subtitles fine and all, but their sometimes on top of each other or a particular sentance is too big and some of it doesnt get displayed on the screen. can i do anything to fix that?

Mali town counts dead after French strikes on Islamists
Fresh graves line the rear of a school in the central Mali town of Konna where France launched its military offensive against Islamists on January 11 with air raids that also killed civilians.
The raised humps of earth are the final resting place of members of the family of Idrissa Maiga, a small farmer, whose second wife aged 41, two sons and a daughter perished in the bombings.
"Aminata. Aliou. Adam. Zeinabou," the 51-year-old, staring vacantly, lists the names of his deceased spouse and their children, aged between 10 and 14.
Maiga says they were buried in the afternoon of January 11 itself.
The air strikes, which stopped the advance of Al Qaeda-linked Islamists pushing south from their northern bastion towards the capital Bamako, also led to the death of a French helicopter pilot, the only French casualty so far in the Mali conflict.
The Malian army lost 11 of its troops in the fighting in Konna.
The town, which the Islamists had seized a day before France began its military operations in its former west African colony, lies about 700 kilometres (435 miles) northeast of Bamako.
Town hall officials and Malian soldiers escorting visiting journalists are parsimonious with casualty figures.
But the ravages of war are everywhere, from the charred carcasses of military vehicles, to two enormous bomb craters near the fish market, to pockmarked walls.
Maiga lives near a small green mosque ruined by the bombing which split it in half with only one side standing.
The courtyard of his tiny mud-walled home also bears the marks of shrapnel.
He says his wife and children were enclosed in one room when they were hit. He shows bloodstains on the wall where they were found dead, near a table still bearing small onions that the family sells in the market to get by.
Konna's deputy mayor Demba Samouka evades questions about figures, saying there is "no precise death toll", adding that "maybe four people died in the air raids."
"Maybe seven others were killed by the Islamists themselves when they fired rockets," he says, preferring to speak of "several victims among the Islamist attackers."
Local trader Ali Coulibaly's tiny shack was damaged in the bombings. And right in front lies a charred motorcycle.
"On the 11th, we went to dig graves for our soldiers killed by the Islamists. Because we were scared of air strikes, we ran back to enter the town and that is when the planes bombed this area," the 54-year-old said.
Pointing to dark stains on a thin untarred lane, he said: "This is where the son of Bere Traore died. He was riding a bicycle and lost a lot of blood."
Coulibaly then takes journalists to the grave of Amadou Lacine, a "man of 55 who dug wells.
"He was injured in the head ... and survived for 11 days," and should have been evacuated to hospital in Mopti, 70 kilometres from Konna, "but he was poor and nobody helped him," Coulibaly said, adding: "He died here."

We're going to leave the heavy lifting on this one to T-Muffle
Posted by Lizzie on 12/19/05
Raise your hand if you know which extra the New York Times saw fit to insert in an article about a young boy who, unbeknownst to his parents, began selling lurid shots and videos of himself by webcam to predators online:
a) The boy's contact information.
b) A pricing sheet.
c) An online video interview featuring shots of said boy in wifebeater with a caption reading "Hint: Right-Click, Save Target As, Baby!"
P.S. A friend requested that we blog about this article, but we started to hear a great, heated whistling in our head as our eyes slowly burned out of their sockets. Perhaps one of those black or gay people sitting "literally…against the wall or a few chairs away from the insiders" can find a moment to slip upstairs and do some blogging for us — that is,when they're done with the dishes.

Concerned cyclists have spoken of abuse from Maldon district drivers in the wake of Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins' recent collision.
Last Wednesday, cyclist Peter Hardiman, 60, was riding along the Dengie straight coming out of Latchingdon when a maroon Peugeot driver sped past him honking the horn.
Mr Hardiman, who is the Maldon and District Cycling Club competition secretary, also had to dodge a bottle that was hurled at him.
He said: "If I had hit the bottle, it would have thrown me straight off the bike.
"Unfortunately you get that sort of thing all the time."

Police step up DWI enforcement
Phil Banker, firstname.lastname@example.com
Shortly after conducting a similar initiative for the July 4 holiday, the Ellis County Sheriff's Office is preparing to "step" up its enforcement of drunk driving laws for Labor Day weekend.
The "Selective Traffic Enforcement Program" provides grants for law enforcement organizations to put extra personnel on Texas highways to monitor for drunken drivers as part of the Texas Department of Transportation's "Drink. Drive. Go To Jail" campaign which runs from Aug. 15 to Labor Day, Sept. 1.

Tomorrow is December already! Winter is almost upon us, although you wouldn't know by looking around Deadwood. There's very little snow in town — but there's enough at the higher elevations that the ski resorts are OPEN for business.
Both Terry Peak and Mystic Miner at Deer Mountain opened after Thanksgiving. Conditions are still in the early season phase, but both locations are making snow to make up for Mother Nature. There's probably 20-25 inches of real snow on the base, which is sure to get bigger, possibly even this week.

Chris Archer Delivers Quality Start In Rays 10-3 Victory
The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Los Angeles Angels by a final score of 10-3 to improve their record to 54-56. The win pulls the Rays to five games behind in the wild card race. The second wild card is held by the Toronto Blue Jays who fell to the Houston Astros by a final score of 8-2. Additionally, the Rays gained a game in the AL East standings and now trail the Baltimore Orioles who lost to the Seattle Mariners 6-3 by 7.5 games.
The victory was the Rays 12th in their last 15 games and they are 30-14 since June 11 which is the best record in the majors. The defeat of the Angels improves the Rays to 5-3 on their nine game homestand clinching their first winning homestand since going 4-2 from May 20th through 25th.
The Rays offense backed Chris Archer with 16 hits including home runs by Evan Longoria and Logan Forsythe. Ben Zobrist tied a season high with four hits, James Loney extended his on-base streak to 21 straight games, and Brandon Guyer reached base in all four of his plate appearances.
Chris Archer (7-6, 3.42 ERA) was the recipient of rare run support as the Rays pushed across six runs in the first two innings to give him room to breathe. In his previous 21 starts the Rays offense had only scored 55 runs (2.62 runs/game) while he was on the mound.
Archer delivered his 13th quality start of the season going six innings allowing three runs (all earned) on six hit striking out nine and walking two. His nine strikeouts were his second most in any start this season (11 on May 23rd versus Boston). He improves to 3-1 with a 1.30 ERA in five starts versus the AL West this season and has pitched to a 3.21 ERA (101IP/36ER) in 17 starts since the beginning of May.
C.J. Wilson (8-7, 4.74 ERA) was making his first start since July 9th against the Toronto Blue Jays allowing six runs (three earned) before exiting the game with an ankle sprain. He made one rehab start with the Angles Double-A affiliate Arkansas Travelers going 5.1 innings allowing two earned runs on four hits with two walks and seven strike outs.
In his return to the Angles he lasted just 1.1 innings allowing six runs (all earned) on six hits striking out two and walking two.
The Rays jumped on him with a pair of runs in the first inning. After retiring the first two batters he walked Brandon Guyer and then Evan Longoria delivered his 13th home run of the season to give the Rays the 2-0 lead.
They extended their lead to 6-0 in the bottom of the second inning and in the process knocked C.J. Wilson out of the game. After retiring the first batter of the inning James Loney singled, moved to second when Curt Casali walked, and came in to score on a RBI single by Logan Forsythe which also advanced Casali to third. Desmond Jennings followed with a perfect safety squeeze single to score Casali.
Ben Zobrist laid down a bunt single to load the bases for Brandon Guyer who delivered a 2-RBI single to plate both Forsythe and Jennings. Guyer's hit pushed the Rays lead to 6-0 and knocked C.J. Wilson out of the game marking his second shortest outing of his career. The shortest outing of his career was 0.1 innings on May 11, 2012 and was removed due to a long rain delay.
The Angels pushed three runs against Archer in the top of the fourth inning to cut the Rays lead to 6-3. Albert Pujols led off with a single, moved to second after Archer walked Erick Aybar and came in to score on a Howie Kendrick RBI ground-rule double. David Freese grounded out to score Aybar and Hank Conger delivered a RBI double to score Kendrick.
The Angels bullpen held the Rays off the board until the bottom of the eighth inning when they pushed across four runs to push the lead to 10-3. The inning began with Logan Forsythe hitting his fourth home run of the season. All four of his homers this year have come over his past 21 games (17 starts) since June 28th, after 56 homerless games to start his Rays career. He has 14 RBI over that span after only driving in five runs in his first 56 games.
Desmond Jennings followed with a single and came in to score on Ben Zobrist's double. It was Zobrist's fourth hit of the game tying a season high (3 times) done most recently on on July 25th against the Boston Red Sox. Since June 28th Zobrist is hitting .364 (40 for 110).
After Mike Roth struck out Kevin Kiermaier he intentionally walked Evan Longoria to face pinch hitter Matt Joyce who singled to plate Zobrist. Yunel Escobar followed with an RBI single to score Evan Longoria and pushed the Rays lead to 10-3.
Joel Peralta and Brad Boxberger had each worked a scoreless inning and thanks to the Rays four run bottom of the eighth Cesar Ramos came in to work the ninth rather than Jake McGee.
Ramos allowed a leadoff double to C.J. Cron to set the stage for the Kevin Kiermaier show. It should be noted that Kiermaier was inserted into the game as a defensive replacement in the top of the eighth inning.
Chris Iannetta – pinch hitting for Hank Conger singled to right field, Cron raced around third and Kiermaier elected to throw to the plate. Curt Casali fielded the throw and reached back across his body to make the tag at the plate. The play was reviewed (home-plate collision rule) and was upheld.
The next batter was Kole Calhoun and he sent a shallow line drive to right center field where the speedy Kiermaier came in to make the catch and his momentum carried him all the way over to shallow left field.
Mike Trout was the last hitter of the game and he sent a fly ball down the right field line that the speedy Kiermaier glided over to record the out.

The GIF format requires that pixel data be stored as an LZW stream; there is no option to specify any other encoding. However, it is possible for a encoder that doesn't use the LZW algorithm to produce inefficient but valid LZW streams. I'd not heard of RLE GIFs, but I suppose you could make an RLE encoder generate an LZW stream. A web search turned up references to several tools that do that. Any phone should be able to cope with a GIF that wasn't produced by a true LZW encoder, because it's in exactly the same format.Received on Thu May 23 20:28:34 2002

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) shares are up 7.1% to $4.59 on Monday following a positive note by analysts at Morgan Stanley (MS) concerning met coal prices.
The firm believes that as thermal coal inventories diminish, prices will rise.
"The recent polar vortex and extreme cold has pulled forward a recovery in the thermal coal market. Inventories have been falling rapidly, and could dip below 100 mt for the first time since 1997," said analyst Evan Kurtz.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
Fellow coal producers Peabody Energy (BTU) +2.2%, Walter Energy (WLT) +5.1% and Arch Coal (ACI) +5.1% all received bumps thanks to the note.
TheStreet Ratings team rates ALPHA NATURAL RESOURCES INC as a Sell with a ratings score of D. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate ALPHA NATURAL RESOURCES INC (ANR) a SELL. This is driven by a number of negative factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its poor profit margins, weak operating cash flow and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself."
