Brodie Retallick has been cited for a spear-tackle on Andries Bekker in the Rugby Championship game between the Springboks and the All Blacks at Coca Cola Park.
Brenden Nel - SuperSport
According to the supersport.com website, Steyn was purposely rested from the last two games of the Rugby Championship after a poor run of form, but returned to Loftus Versfeld on Monday to start working again with his long-time kicking coach Vlok Cilliers in preparation for a possible return to action for the Blue Bulls in the final rounds of the Absa Currie Cup.
While the Blue Bulls have not given any indication whether or not they intend to play Steyn, they must be tempted. Rooted at the bottom of the Currie Cup log at the moment, they need to beat the defending champion Golden Lions at Coca-Cola Park this weekend to not face a promotion-relegation battle in the coming weeks.
Steyn was always favoured to play a role on the November tour, especially with the heavy underfoot and weather making conditions for a flyhalf who can control the game with his boot, an almost necessity in any team touring up North.
But Goosen's injury, which will see him out for at least six months, will mean that coach Heyneke Meyer has to alter his plans after indicating he wanted to rotate both Goosen and Elton Jantjies on the tour to allow them to settle into the position.
Steyn had a long first kicking session with Cilliers on Monday, and his provincial coach Pine Pienaar said the final decision on whether or not to play him will be made in terms of what is best for the team, and not necessarily individuals.
Pienaar purposely sidestepped questions on whether or not Steyn would play this weekend, a decision that will be keenly watched by the rest of the country.
"All seven of our Springboks are available for selection. Every one of them is positive at the moment, and are keen to do their part for us for the rest of the Currie Cup tournament," Pienaar said.
"We know we are sitting in a must-win situation. That is our priority and focus point that we are preparing with this week. We know we need to win this game against the Lions. For that reason, my decisions on team selection will be on what's best for the team and not for individuals. We need to give ourselves every single chance we can to win this game."
Apart from Steyn, Pienaar said he hadn't even looked at specific positions yet, meaning there is also no word whether Francois Hougaard will return to his more favoured No 9 position or continue to play on the wing.
"We have to take into account the influence that the returning Boks can have on the side. But as I said, they are all excited about being back, and that is positive. We are privileged to receive so many Springboks back, but the team dynamic is the most important thing to consider when I decide how it should look.
"We never spoke on Monday about specific positions. We did have a long morning session where we allowed the players to train in every possible position. I have a few plans in my head, but I will first need to sit down with Dewald (Potgieter, captain) and chat to the players before we decide which direction we will head in."
Either way, the task facing the Bulls is a tough one, and it is an interesting debate whether Steyn should be rested further or whether he should play.
One thing is clear, Goosen's injury adds extra pressure, and makes like much more difficult for Bok coach Heyneke Meyer.

This 1 kilo (32.15 troy ounces) of .999 fine Silver coin was issued to commemorate the life and ministry of the Apostle Peter which are displayed on the various sections of the obverse.
One of only 1,000 minted!
This magnificent coin from Liberia is made of 17 separate pieces that pay tribute to St. Peter. Peter was called by Jesus to become one of His followers. Peter was a companion and disciple in good times and bad. On various occasions, his faith was tested and reproved. Peter was reprimanded and at the same time rewarded with heartfelt words of praise by Jesus.
Peter preached and healed, settled differences between disputants and taught people to follow the will of the One who had chosen Peter to be the shepherd. Peter is also considered the first pope of the Roman Catholic Church.
The coin's reverse shows the Liberian national arms. This coin is sure to please any collector with its handsome display case and certificate of authenticity. Cataloged in Krause as KM#846.

Need a cape? You could nab one of Jesse Jackson Jr.'s
Photo by Chris Maddaloni/CQ Roll Call
If you're in the need of a new cape for fall, you're in luck. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s fur and mink capes are among some of his many items the U.S. Marshals Service has put up for auction. Other pieces of memorabilia include autographs from Michael Jackson and Bruce Lee.
In August, a federal judge fined Jackson $750,000 for misusing campaign funds. The auction is an attempt to make payment.

Gov. Rick Perry today announced the state will invest $2 million in Turbo Trac USA Inc., of Midland, through the Texas Emerging Technology Fund (ETF) for the development and commercialization of their energy conservation technology for industrial motor systems.
"The Texas Emerging Technology Fund is helping supercharge a wide range of innovative technology industries in the state," Gov. Perry said. "This investment in Turbo Trac will provide a new, useful solution to companies looking to reduce manufacturing costs and energy consumption."
Turbo Trac's infinitely variable transmission technology for industrial motors helps increase motor system efficiency, while reducing energy consumption for industrial systems up to 20 percent. This reduction in energy use will provide a tangible savings to industries that use a significant amount of motor system energy for daily operations, including industrial electric motor, pump and compressor manufacturers.
Turbo Trac will focus on customers in industrial markets where the cost of energy is the single highest operating item in their manufacturing process. These industries do not currently have a viable, cost saving and efficient solution for their energy consumption needs.
Turbo Trac is partnering with the University of Texas Permian Basin School of Business and Texas Tech University College of Engineering for the development and commercialization of this technology.
The ETF is a $200 million initiative created by the Texas Legislature in 2005 at the governor's request, and reauthorized in 2007 and again this session with $203.5 million for the 2010-2011 biennium. A 17-member advisory committee of high-tech leaders, entrepreneurs, and research experts review potential projects and recommend funding allocations to the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the House. To date, the ETF has allocated more than $99 million in funds to 81 early stage companies.

The most commonly prescribed antidepressants, known as SSRIs, often help to relieve the symptoms of major depression. There's just one major caveat: The drugs often take several weeks, or even months, before patients get relief. more
Celiac disease is the reason why so many people can't eat bread. The disease is really an autoimmune disorder, meaning every time a patient consumes gluten — a common protein found in wheat, rye, and barley — their immune system attacks the lining of the small intestine; painful digestive problems ensue. But across the country, roughly 3 million Americans claim to have a similar insensitivity without a proper diagnosis. So, a team of researchers from Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) decided to find out why. more

Final, Bruins 3-1: That's it, and that's all. The Bruins bounce back from their loss to the Sabres on Thursday night in Buffalo to beat the Sabres here at the Garden.
Third period, 19:39, Bruins 4-1: Reilly Smith just added the empty-net goal to give the Bruins a 4-1 lead.
Third period, 1:30, Bruins 3-1: The Buffalo net is empty.
Third period, 17:38, Bruins 3-1: Tuukka Rask is quietly having a very nice night. He just made another big save, this one a glove save on Matt Moulson.
Third period, 16:30, Bruins 3-1: All of the penalties are over, and we're back to even strength.
Third period, 15:40, Bruins 3-1: Just now seeing a replay of the Steve Ott "slashing" penalty. It looked as if Zdeno Chara broke his own stick, not Ott. So that would explain the nutty Ott pulled after the play.
Third period, 14:29, Bruins 3-1: And so much for that 5-on-3.
Steve Ott just slashed Zdeno Chara's stick into two, and Ott will get the slashing penalty. The Sabres still have the 4-on-3 penalty for another 45 seconds or so.
Third period, 13:59, Bruins 3-1: The Bruins are going to have to kill another 5-on-3 penalty, this one at an important time in the game.
Johnny Boychuk was called for holding, and the Bruins are looking at 1:14 of 5-on-3 time to kill off.
Third period, 13:12, Bruins 3-1: Jordan Caron is going to the penalty box, and the Bruins will have to kill off another penalty.
Caron is going to the box for a hit to the head, and Boston's PK has to go back to work.
Third period, 12:18, Bruins 3-1: Tuukka Rask made another big save a couple of moments ago, this one on Tyler Ennis.
Ennis jumped on a loose puck in the slot and put it on net, but Rask was able to just get a piece of it with his glove and the puck deflected over the net.
Third period, 11:20, Bruins 3-1: The Bruins' power play just came to an end, and it came to an end without a Boston goal.
Third period, 9:01, Bruins 3-1: The Bruins are going back on the power play.
Mike Weber was just called for hooking Patrice Bergeron, and the Bruins will look to put the cherry on top with a power-play goal.
Third period, 7:38, Bruins 3-1: Zdeno Chara just got really mad, which is a pretty scary proposition for whoever is on the other end of his scorn.
In this case, that person was Steve Ott. Chara lost his helmet in tangling with Ott behind the Bruins net, and they brought that confrontation to the front of the net as well where they exchanged some body punches and cross-checks. Not enough for a penalty for either, though.
Third period, 5:18, Bruins 3-1: The Bruins' first line is feeling it after a slow start to this game.
Milan Lucic just took a pass from David Krejci in the slot, and the forward kicked it to his forehand. He then quickly snapped a shot by Jhonas Enroth to the goalie's stick side.
Third period, 3:00, Bruins 2-1: The Sabres came this close to tying the game. Twice.
Rask made a big save on Matt Ellis from in close, and that left a rebound in front for Linus Omark. He put the shot on net, but Rask was able to somehow get his pad out even farther to stop the second-chance opportunity as well.
Third period, 0:01, Bruins 2-1: The third period is underway.
End second period, Bruins 2-1: The second period just came to an end with the Bruins holding the 2-1 lead.
They're outshooting the Sabres 28-21 after two periods.
Second period, 15:07, Bruins 2-1: We just saw one of the rarest Bruins events — Patrice Bergeron just got in a fight.
Bergeron and Tyler Myers just dropped the gloves for a quick scrap that didn't feature a ton of punches connected, but it still has the Garden crowd going wild. The two got tangled up between the play and some words were exchanged before the gloves were actually dropped.
That's Bergeron's first regular-season fighting major. He's fought in the playoffs before, though, taking on Josh Gorges in 2009 and Evgeni Malkin last year.
Second period, 13:45, Bruins 2-1: The Bruins were able to kill off the 5-on-3, and they were able to kill off the double minor as well.
The Sabres were able to get three shots on goal during the man-advantage(s), and Ville Leino hit the post with a second-chance in front, but they couldn't convert.
Second period, 12:00, Bruins 2-1: The Bruins killed off the Patrice Bergeron penalty, but they still have about two minutes left on the Gregory Campbell double minor to kill.
Second period, 9:40, Bruins 2-1: Now the Bruins will have to kill off a 5-on-3 for almost two minutes.
Gregory Campbell just caught Jamie McBain with a high stick, and it's going to be a double minor. The high stick brought blood and will get Campbell four minutes in the box.
This is a pretty big few minutes .
Second period, 9:28, Bruins 2-1: The Bruins are going to be shorthanded once again.
This time it's Patrice Bergeron who is going to the box. The Bruins center — one of the team's best penalty killers — was just called for cross-checking .
Buffalo is 0-for-1 on the power play so far.
Second period, 6:00, Bruins 2-1: David Krejci is starting to turn it on here int he second period.
He just came flying into the zone, and he was almost able to connect with Jarome Iginla, but the play was broken up.
It's been a rough night for Brad Marchand, though. He's been a bit shaken up since a collision with Christian Erhoff in the first period that appeared to leave him with some sort of lower-body ailment. He returned to the locker room briefly, but was able to return. Early here in the second period he was again a bit banged up after blocking a shot. Not an easy living to make.
Second period, 1:47, Bruins 2-1: The Bruins' first line had a rough first period, but they just gave the Bruins the lead here in the secon dperiod.
Jarome Iginla rushed the puck into the attacking zone down the right wing and then passed it back to David Krejci who was following the play. Krejci was able to then fire a shot on goal that beat Jhonas Enroth over the goalie's glove hand.
Second period, 0:01, 1-1: The second period is underway here at the Garden.
End first period, 1-1: The first period just came to an end, and the late Buffalo goal ensures that the teams will go to the dressing rooms all tied up.
First period, 18:54, 1-1: The Sabres have been thoroughly outplayed in this period, but they just tied the game.
Zemgus Girgensons just scored the game-tying goal after jamming at a puck to Tuukka Rask's right. The puck was eventually lifted and it hit Rask in the back and then fell over the goal line.
The late-period goals continue to haunt the Bruins.
First period, 16:28, Bruins 1-0: Carl Soderberg just checked in with his latest scoring chance.
The Swedish winger started the play by getting traffic in front of the net. A shot got blocked in front of the net where Soderberg had come back to the play to try and put home the rebound. He fell right in front of the crease, and tried to sweep home a backhanded attempt that Jhonas Enroth closed his pads on before Soderberg could find the five-hole.
First period, 14:56, Bruins 1-0: Carl Soderberg is having a nice night, and he almost found the back of the net.
He came in on the left wing and ripped a wrist shot from the wing, but Jhonas Enroth made a nifty little glove save to keep it a one-goal game.
First period, 14:00, Bruins 1-0: The Bruins were able to kill off the penalty to Ryan Spooner, and the teams are back to even strength.
First period, 11:39, Bruins 1-0: Just two minutes after the Bruins scored on the power play, the Sabres will get their chance to answer on the man-advantage.
Ryan Spooner was just called for hooking, and the Bruins will be shorthanded.
First period, 9:39, Bruins 1-0: The Bruin' power play has been good as of late, but that's been thanks in very large part to the first unit. The second unit just got in on the fun, though.
Reilly Smith just scored a power-play goal on a brilliant pass from Carl Sodeberg who brought the puck from the goal line before passing it to Smith on the left wing. He quickly beat Jhonas Enroth to give the B's the 1-0 lead.
First period, 9:07, 0-0: The Bruins are getting the game's first power play.
Linus Omark was just called for hooking, and the B's get the man-advantage.
First period, 6:15, 0-0: The Sabres just had their best chance of the period, thanks in large part to a questionable decision from Dennis Seidenberg to pinch down into the offensive zone.
It might not have been a horrible idea had he executed the ensuing between-the-legs pass. That pass was intercepted, however, and Buffalo had a 3-on-2 going the other way with Jarome Iginla dropping back on defense to fill the spot vacated by Seidenberg.
The end result, luckily for the Bruins, was a save by Tuukka Rask on a wrist shot from Drew Stafford.
First period, 3:03, 0-0: Not a whole lot going on through the first few minutes.
The Bruins' second line had a near chance when Brad Marchand made a centering pass from behind the net to Patrice Bergeron in front, but Bergeron had his stick lifted before being able to one-time the pass.
First period, 0:01, 0-0: It's go time. The game is underway.
7 p.m.: If you're following the live blog while watching the game on NESN (honestly, it's the best way to do things), the NESN broadcast has a special request of you.
They're asking you, Bruins fans, to do a little producing. You get to choose the play that in-studio analyst Billy Jaffe will break down during the second intermission.
Check out the details below.
Tonight on @NESN we want your input during Bruins gm. Tell me which play u want broken down & we might do it during 2nd int #Bruinsfanalyst—
Billy Jaffe (@BJaffe) December 21, 2013
6:33 p.m.: The Bruins and Sabres just took the ice for pregame warmups. Unsurprisingly, Tuukka Rask will start for the Bruins, and Jhonas Enroth will get the starting nod for the Sabres.
Enroth is 1-6-3 with a 2.61 goals against average and a .908 save percentage in 11 games played this season. He last played a week ago tonight against Calgary and took a shootout loss. He's 0-3-2 with a 4.00 goals against and .888 save percentage against the Bruins for his career.
It doesn't appear that the Bruins are going to change up the lines at all.
Milan Lucic — David Krejci — Jarome Iginla
Brad Marchand — Patrice Bergeron — Reilly Smith
Carl Soderberg — Ryan Spooner — Matt Fraser
Jordan Caron — Gregory Campbell — Nick Johnson
Zdeno Chara — Torey Krug
Dennis Seidenberg — Matt Bartkowski
Johnny Boychuk — Matt Warsofsky
6:25 p.m.: Good evening and welcome into TD Garden where we're about five minutes from beginning pregame warmups.
There was no morning skate this morning with the Celtics and Wizards playing this afternoon, so Claude Julien just wrapped up his pregame media availability. The Bruins head coach gave a few notable updates on the injury front. According to Julien, defenseman Adam McQuaid is getting close to returning. He's not quite ready to return to game action for this one, but Julien said McQuaid could be back Monday in Nashville.
The Bruins also got good news regarding Dougie Hamilton (out with a lower-body injury) and Daniel Paille (concussion-like symptoms). Both skated Saturday, and for Hamilton, it was the first time he's skated since suffering his injury on Dec. 8.
So for once there was some good news in regards to injuries.
2:30 p.m.: There's no one who could debate the assertion that the Bruins are a better team than the Buffalo Sabres. That didn't matter much on Thursday night, however, when the lowly Sabres surprised the first-place Bruins.
The Bruins will get their chance to exact some revenge Saturday night when they welcome Buffalo to TD Garden in the second half of a home-and-home between the Atlantic Division rivals. Boston, who dropped a 4-2 loss on Thursday, will be playing its penultimate game before a three-day Christmas break.
Thursday's game was a rather one-sided affair in favor of the B's in all aspects other than the final score. The Bruins outshot and out-chanced the Sabres, but Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller was able to make some big saves, which set the table for two third-period goals for the Sabres.
The inability to finish chances, especially in the second and third periods, is what cost the Bruins on Thursday. One player who didn't really have such problems was Brad Marchand. The Boston winger has been under the microscope lately, as his struggles to produce have coincided with some questionable on-ice behavior. Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli reiterated Thursday morning that he wasn't going to trade Marchand, and that vote of confidence appeared to have a pretty immediate impact on the young forward. However, Marchand has shown an inability to put together consistent efforts this season, which should make Saturday night a pretty important game for him.
It's likely that Tuukka Rask will be back in net for the Bruins after getting the night off Thursday. The loss ended up falling on the shoulders of backup Chad Johnson who gave up a pair of goals in the third period on the way to losing his first start since Nov. 2. Rask actually doesn't have the greatest of numbers against the Sabres. If he gets the call, he'll be looking to improve upon a 4-5-1 career record with a 2.71 goals against average and .914 save percentage against the division rivals.
There was no morning skate because of the Celtics-Wizards game, but puck drop following the TD Garden changeover is slated for 7 p.m.

Beijing, China, 2011/06/16 - ResearchInChina, the vertical portal for Chinese business intelligence, announces the release of a new report China Refrigerated and Insulated Vehicle Market Report, 2010-2011.
Refrigerated & insulated vans are closed special transport vehicles, and they are primarily used to transport frozen or fresh goods, such as meat, fruit, vegetable, aquatic products, flowers and so on. Refrigerated vans are equipped with carriages (which have thermal insulation structure) and refrigeration devices for transporting refrigerated goods. Insulated vans are also equipped with carriages (which have thermal insulation structure) for heat preservation transport.
As people's living standards have been improved, the demand for refrigerated products keeps increasing; coupled with the strengthened cold chain logistics industry and the rapid development of road transport industry, refrigerated & insulated vans in China have seen quick development. The number of refrigerated & insulated vans in China rose from over 30,000 in 2000 to more than 50,000 in 2010 ; the output increased from less than 3,000 in 2000 to nearly 6,000 in 2010.
However, compared with other countries, China has fewer refrigerated & insulated vans with a low refrigerated transport rate and considerable demand for refrigeration and thermal insulation. For example, Europe, America and Japan each has a refrigerated transport rate of 83-90%, Eastern Europe has 50%, but China only has about 20%. In China, about 80% of fruit, vegetable, poultry and aquatic products are transported by ordinary trucks.
In June 2010, China issued the first Cold Chain Logistics Development Plan for Agricultural Products to point out that China should vigorously develop refrigerated vans, and raise the refrigerated transport rates of fruit & vegetable, meat and aquatic products from 15%, 30% and 40% in 2010 to 30%, 50% and 65% in 2015 respectively. The plan encourages large-scale cold chain logistics enterprises to purchase refrigerated transport vehicles. By 2015, the number of new refrigerated vans will reached 40,000. This means that China's annual demand growth rate for refrigerated and insulated vans will exceed 20% from 2011 to 2015.
Starting from the angle of the environment for the development of China refrigerated & insulated van industry, this report analyzes supply and demand in refrigerated & insulated van market, and then analyzes the competition pattern and 15 key enterprises in this industry.
In 2010, Chinese refrigerated van market was dominated by Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd, Zhenjiang Speed Automobile Group Co., Ltd and Zhengzhou Hongyu Special Vehicle Co., Ltd. In this market, top 3 enterprises contributed 43.63% to the total output, and top 10 ones 82.42%.
The refrigerated vans of Beiqi Foton are made of high-quality polyurethane insulation materials with overall foam process and sandwich process, and enjoy good reputation. In 2010, Beiqi Foton produced 1,058 refrigerated vans, surpassing Zhenjiang Speed to become the champion in the industry.
Zhengzhou Hongyu belongs to China North Industries Group. In recent years, it has focused on the development of special vehicles based on military technology. It mainly produces light-duty and mini refrigerated vans with the chassis made by Changan and Jiefang. Zhengzhou Hongyu plans to raise its share in refrigerated & insulated van market to over 20% in 2011.
In China, there are only a few insulated van enterprises putting into real production and with product certificates, including the most competitive Henan Bingxiong and CIMC Vehicles Group.
In addition, the report also analyzes the development, downstream demand, key areas and key enterprises of China cold chain industry.

#1: advice needed please!!!
My 6 year old has beautiful hair, I'm pretty sure it's 3c. I've noticed lately tho that it's getting more frizzed and flatter on the back of the head. I've just purchased satin pillowcases for her, but from all I'm reading I think I'm using the wrong products on her hair. Currently using Tresume extra moisture shampoo and conditioner. I wash and condition 2 to 3 times a week and use Perfect 10 leave in and argon oil spray afterwards. Can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive sulfate and silicone free cleansing conditioner? I also use the Wet Brush because it doesn't hurt her head, but I'm not sure if that's damaging it now too. Please help as I loooove her hair and want to keep it as healthy and defined as possible.

Suffering from a panic attack at work can be very upsetting. When you're at work, you might want to keep certain things private, but having a panic attack can be really traumatic for you.
The problem with panic attacks is that they can happen anywhere and at any time. NOTHING about panic attacks follows any logical rules. You can be quite stressed and still be fine; you think everything is ok and suddenly get one.
OMG - this is not what you wanted to have happen! A panic attack at work sounds like the death of your career dreams!
If this has happened to you, don't take it so seriously!
Here are a few things you should do.
1) Assess the situation - it may be that no one even noticed. Just go on with what you were doing.
2) If it is obvious that others have witnessed your panic attack, provide an explanation such as "I just wasn't feeling well all of the sudden." Or if it is someone you are very close to and trust - explain exactly what happened if you wish.
3) Be aware that you are under no legal obligation to disclose the details of any medical type issue. Prying eyes will have to settle for whatever explanation you choose to give them.
4) Most people witnessing a panic attack will likely be very sympathetic and may assume you are having a medical crisis. They may offer first aid or call an ambulance. Accept help.
5) If appropriate, you may let people know that you have experienced these symptoms before and that they will pass in time - not to worry. (You choose whether or not to give them details on what these symptoms are or what specifically is happening)
6) Try not to dwell on the panic attack episode or to think the worst. Like most things, they are talked about for only a short while - and then something more exciting comes along and your item is forgotten!
7) Get help! See a doctor - there are several underlying conditions such as a thyroid hormone imbalance which can cause panic attacks.
8) Help yourself! There are many excellent books on eliminating anxiety issues and panic attacks. There are also several good programs you can order online. Panic Away
and The Linden Method are two programs you can download and immediately begin to help yourself - in the privacy of your own home!
Left alone without some sort of treatment panic attacks can lead to panic disorder, which can lead to agoraphobia. This could result in being absent from work or worse, even lead to becoming unemployed.
Sufferers will go to extreme lengths to conceal their secret and will even resort to lying and making up excuses. This may eventually catch up with them and they may be let go.
Don't let this be you! It's easy to get help - do it now!
This is why it is VERY important to do something about the problem, because, as mentioned, one problem can so easily lead to other problems, including depression.
Panic attacks and panic disorder are treatable conditions, but it will require work. Only by working at the problem and practicing will you eventually get better. There are things that can also reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks.
Medication: Taking medication (usually along with therapy - CBT is the most popular) can be helpful.
There are many drugs available today, so one should be right for you. If something doesn't work, tell your doctor so that you can go onto something else.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Cognitive Behavior therapy involves changing the way you preceive and react to situations, including the messages you tell yourself. Ask your doctor for a referral to a psychologist, or contact a psychologist that practices CBT yourself by looking through the yellow pages. CBT requires your active participation, and can be challenging, interesting, and helpfuls.
Take a look at these options that are available online.
Panic Away
and The Linden Method are two drug-free programs created by ex-sufferers. Thousands have used their programs to overcome their issues and live normally and free of fear.
Self Hypnosis Tapes CD or MP3
Herbal Solutions and Homeopathy
If you've postponed looking for help but then suffered a panic attack at work, it's time you did something. There's no reason to keep suffering because you can get better!

Sports: Vancouver Canuck 1st Ever Goal Scorer-Barry Wilkins Dies Sunday
By David Murray. The first time I met Barry Wilkins I was just starting my working career as a Zamboni driver at the Pacific Coliseum at the PNE. Barry was a class act , always stopping to say hello.
He will always be remembered having scored the first-ever goal for the 1970-71 expansion NHL Vancouver Canucks.
Barry Wilkins, 64, died on Sunday evening at his home in Chandler, Arizona, He had stuggled and lost his battle with lung cancer. His wife Marilyn and son Jamie were at his bedside.
Oct. 9, 1970 was the night of the "Nucks" first game which saw him shoot a puck past goaltender Dennis DeJordy at 2: 14 of the third period. Vancouver lost the historic game 3-1.
Wilkins was claimed by Vancouver from the Boston Bruins in the 1970 expansion draft and played four seasons with the Canucks .
Barry , you will be missed!

Technical features:
UPPER:full grain leather with micro-injected inserts and padded front area for a better comfort and flexibility
LINING:GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort Footwear
REINFORCEMENTS:New T.C.S.® system with iron mesh air intakes, M.C.S.®, polyurethane shin plate; polyurethane shift pad
SLIDERS:replaceable high-resistant polyurethane toe slider with hidden screw system
CLOSURE:zip and Velcro® band
FOOTBED:anatomic and replaceable
MID SOLE:reinforced PP, differentiated thickness
SOLE:2 colours injected with specific grip area
Torsion Control System®
The Torsion Control System® offers an excellent balance between flexibility and protection. The structure fully carries out the main function of T.C.S.®, which allows lateral and longitudinal movements of the ankle within its physical limits, preventing excessive torsion and the risk of fracture to the joint. The system has two main elements: a body and heel in triple-injection polyurethane, both are sewn to the upper and connected by two lateral and one posterior flexion points. This structure is less bulky and offers the rider greater adherence to the bike without running the rick to becoming caught on anything that protrudes from the body. These structural features also help make the boot lighter.
Metatarsal Control System®
The Metatarsal Control System® has a polyurethane structure with a flexion point in the metatarsal area that adheres more fully to the foot and gives give the freedom of movement needed for riding, while guaranteeing maximum protection in the event of an accident. The system has been designed to control metatarsal flexion upwards and downwards with two stopping points designed to prevent damage to the joints.
The concept of safety is further emphasised by an internal polyurethane structure connected to the M.C.S.® system to cover the side of the foot, offering maximum protection in case of impact.
Gore-Tex® Membrane
This fine material has important features such as long-term waterproofing capacity, excellent resistance to the most extreme temperatures and high resistance to wear and tear. The special microporous structure of the GORE-TEX® fabric in expanded PTFE contains around 1.4 thousand million microscopic pores per square centimetre. These pores are approximately 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapour. So while water cannot penetrate the GORE-TEX® membrane in liquid form, sweat (water vapour) can easily evaporate. This results is a completely waterproof barrier that means the boot can be used in all climates, guaranteeing maximum comfort and optimal breathability.
Durably waterproof and breathable
Optimized climate comfort for moderate conditions
Moderately insulating for nominal heat retention

So after having some issues with IE10 on some other website I found it was because of compatability issues (as this is a new platform).
Try this fix to automatically enable compatability mode and you will be able to access the website after that:
1.) Right click on the top bar within IE10 and check, "Menu bar"
2.) Click on "tools" --> compatibility view settings
3.) Check, "display all websites in compatibility mode"
Hope that helps some of you.

Look down the barrel from the muzzle, with a light. Many of the reconditioned MN 91/30s have the last 1 to 2" of the rifling counter bored - that is smoothed by over bore drilling - because of damage to that area caused by using the Soviet steel cleaning rod. Also look at the crown to make sure it is symetrical and not chipped or oval shaped - that is another common ailment with the 91/30. When I worked in a gun shop a couple years ago, I had the opportunity to handle HUNDREDS of these guns - as the shop sold close to 7,000 pieces over a 7 year period. The vast majority came out of long term storage in the Ukraine and Beylorus - put there by the Soviets in 1946 or so after arsenal check-up and refurbishment.

d'Arnaud passing every test en route to return
NEW YORK -- On Friday, for the first time since suffering a concussion last week, catcher Travis d'Arnaud stepped onto the Citi Field grass and ran through a series of drills. As manager Terry Collins and a trainer looked on, d'Arnaud performed various conditioning activities and took batting practice.
Team doctors still must clear d'Arnaud to come off the seven-day disabled list, and Major League Baseball must review his medical records, but he has passed every test the Mets have given him, putting him in line for a Minor League rehab assignment by early next week.
d'Arnaud has not played since May 13, when Alfonso Soriano struck him on the top of the helmet with a backswing.
"It took about a week before I started feeling back to my normal self," d'Arnaud said.

My c-section is in a few hours, I believe im getting a spinal block as I really dont see any need for them to keep an epi in. anywhoo, how does it feel? what part of you is not numb? and how long does a c-section usually take? I was put under with my son, so im not sure. & if you werent put under did you fall asleep anyway? I dont have the baby's father coming or anything...i think my sister will be in there with me, Im hoping shes able to distract me enough so I dont have a panic attack. lol.
I didn't feel it when I had my spinal block.
My c-section lasted like 15 min. tops.
I didn't fall asleep, it happened so fast.
I didn't know the answer either and was curious, so i googled it. :D
I was numb from the belly down. i think the procedure took about 25 mins from start to finish. best wishes!
Mine lasted like 40 minutes? I didn't fall asleep during but I did afterwards (I was too nervous to really sleep the night before though)
I had a spinal block and it didnt hurt me at all. As soon as he got to number 3 when he counted he had already did the spinal and I instantly started going numb. But when I was fully numb I couldn't feel anything from my arm pits down. So I still felt my arms and everything. But unfortunately I felt like I couldn't breath because of the numbness in my chest and I also have anxiety attacks so I had a panic attack on the op table.
its supposed to be numb from under your b**bs and down. i has one put in for my VBAC and i couldnt feel my legs when i was pushing LMAO.
the c sec normally takes about a hour.. ten minutes for baby and the rest is to stitch glue or staple you up.
when does the spinal wear off & when can I move around?
I was having constant contractions when they put mine in but I distinctly remember a bit of a sting and then spreading warmth. By the time they got me onto the operating table I could barely feel my feet. It doesn't take too long for it to take effect at all :)
I was numb from my b**bs down, it took about 45min from start to finish. I was awake the whole time and I was up and walking that night, I had him at 9:25a.m.
Quoting vajayna:" when does the spinal wear off & when can I move around?"
about an hour or so itll start to wear off and move around like get up and walk? that will take 4 or 5 + hours most likely.
I was allowed to walk the next day but I'd had a very lengthy labour before being taken for the emergency section. It was also pretty late at night when I got to my room so they wanted me to sleep. I had DS at 9:50 pm and was allowed to walk if I could by 12 the next day.

The lead-up to last weekend's NCAA Baseball Regional at Jim Patterson Stadium was all about the possibility of a showdown between top-seeded Louisville (48-15) and second-seeded Kentucky (37-25).
Both coaches downplayed the rivalry at stake and the players said they were focused on their first foes, but it was all fans and media wanted to talk about.
Then UK coach Gary Henderson tipped his hand a bit when he saved ace A.J. Reed for the second game of the Regional, thinking his Wildcats would need Reed's arm against Louisville's bevy of lefties.
But after all that run-up, UK lost to Kansas Friday night and it looked like the highly anticipated matchup may not happen.
With Louisville beating Kent State and Kansas on Friday and Saturday, Kentucky clawed its way through the Loser's Bracket and the matchup that Louisville coach Dan McDonnell joked about being inevitable finally happened Sunday night (after a four-hour lightning delay, of course).
It didn't disappoint.
Thanks to a rain-soaked crowd that spent most of the weather delay in local restaurants and watering holes, the atmosphere in the stadium was electric.
Several missed scoring opportunities from both teams early in the game made the tension in the stadium one level higher.
Louisville scored one run in the third inning after Shane Crain reached on a walk and UK freshman starter Logan Salow gave up a double to Sutton Whiting and hit Cole Sturgeon to load the bases. A single by freshman Nick Solak scored Crain from third, but Louisville couldn't get any more runs and the score remained 1-0 until the seventh inning.
UK brought in Sam Mahar to pitch the seventh inning and promptly walked Whiting. Sturgeon bunted for a single to put runners on first and second with no outs. Solak bunted back to the pitcher, and Mahar sailed a throw over Kentucky first baseman Bernal's head. Seeing that, Whiting sprinted home from third to push Louisville's lead to 2-0.
After a strikeout by Gardner, Chittenden hit a blooper over the second baseman's head to score Sturgeon from third and leave runners at the corners. A double by Corey Ray scored Solak from third to put Louisville up 4-0.
Then, a pair of collisions at home plate took the intensity an extra notch higher.
The Cardinals were trying to add to their lead when Chittenden got caught in a rundown between third base and home and ended up diving toward home plate directly into the knee of UK first baseman Thomas Bernal, who was blocking the base path about five feet from home plate.
Kentucky's dugout emptied then Louisville's dugout emptied as both coaching staffs scrambled to keep their team away from the other.
In college baseball, a runner is prohibited from hitting a defender above the waist in a malicious attempt to dislodge the ball. Knowing this, Chittenden dove, but UK's players clearly thought he had ill-intent on the play.
With Kentucky trailing 4-0 in the bottom of the seventh, Kentucky struck back. The Wildcats scored a run with one out and runners on the corners before a dramatic play at home plate ended the inning.
Centerfielder Cole Sturgeon caught a fly ball in shallow center field and rifled a throw to the third base line to catcher Kyle Gibson who was blocking UK's Bernal as Bernal tried to score. Instead of dving or sliding, Bernal ran Gibson over.
After flipping backwards and popping back onto his feet, Gibson showed Bernal and the UK bench the ball still in his hands and then spiked it near home plate after the third out was called.
Again both benches emptied and again both coaching staffs scrambled to keep their team from getting close enough to throw punches.
Bernal was thrown out in violation of the Collision Rule and UK's team was apoplectic.
Ahead 4-1, Louisville was able to close out the win with Kyle McGrath throwing in the eighth and Nick Burdi closing out the ninth inning.
"A lot of the older guys, we've been in some big games throughout our careers," Sturgeon said of Louisville's poise under pressure. "[We have had] a lot of high emotions. a lot of ups and downs, and I think we've learned how to handle it as a group. It's tough. It's an emotional atmosphere. It's a lot of fun. You've got to roll with the punches, the ups and downs and just try to stay even-keeled and just keep going, stay right where you're at, not too high and not too low. For the most part, we did a pretty good job of it. Obviously things kind of flared up a little bit every now and then but it's a big-time game for both teams."
Kentucky got a runner on in each of the eighth and ninth innings, but neither got past second base. Pinch-hitter Dorian Hairston grounded out to Whiting to end the game, sparking a joyous celebration by Lousiville's team as they gathered around Burdi and Gibson.
The Cardinals are 41-0 this season when leading after the eighth inning and have won 96 straight games when entering the ninth with a lead.
Louisville freshman righty Josh Rogers, who lost to Kentucky twice during the regular season in midweek starts, got the win by scattering just four hits and striking out five in six innings of scoreless work.
"You know, obviously they beat us twice during the year. It's a fun rivalry, you know, for our kids, for our fans," McDonnell said. "Let's be honest, this is what you all wanted. This is what our fans wanted. Didn't know if it would happen or not, but it happened in the finals and made for exciting baseball. Maybe not the cleanest game but obviously both teams fought real hard, real intense, and both teams put it on the line. So, it was a fun game to be a part of and I'm proud of my guys for how hard they fought so we get a chance to advance and move on."
Henderson said, "Credit to Dan and his club. Coming in here, I knew our best route was to win three in a row, and that's just how it is and they got that done, we weren't able to do that. We fought well, but they won three in a row. They get to keep playing."
Louisville never trailed through 27 innings of the Regional. The Cardinals beat Kent State 5-0 Friday, and 10-4 in the Kentucky game.

HEALTH and safety legislation means firms are now under strict instructions to dispose of asbestos safely when buildings are being demolished. But the deadly material was widely used in construction until the 1970s and there is a ticking timebomb for some workers who start to suffer from the effects of mesothelioma 30 to 40 years after retirement.
It is worrying to hear that national charity Mesothelioma UK believes Oxfordshire is a hotspot for potential cases and that the number of deaths are expected to peak between 2015 and 2020. That will be a concern for those who have worked in the car industry, construction or at industrial locations like Didcot power station.
Thousands of pensioners across the UK are dying each year as a result of exposure to asbestos, so it is only right that specialist nurses are being deployed to help families cope with the effects of mesothelioma, the most common form of asbestos-related cancer.
As families in Oxfordshire seek legal advice on whether they are eligible for compensation, they will welcome the specialist nursing support being offered by the charity, although one nurse may not be enough in the long term to provide the specialist support that families need. But it is a good start and the Churchill Hospital is the appropriate location for such specialist care.
Ignorance in the past has meant that workers' lives are now tragically being cut short and employers must take every possible precaution to ensure that the same mistakes are not repeated.

Alfred P. Sloan Jr., the General Motors genius who championed the idea of the annual model change, once wrote: "The changes in the new models should be so novel as to create a certain amount of dissatisfaction with past models." In today's inflationary economy, there is a certain amount of dissatisfaction among automakers that the annual changes add so much to their bills for tooling and marketing. The consumerism movement has also made customers more concerned about prices and less interested in change for the sake of change. Last week G.M. announced that its new subcompact car, which...

The Delhi High Court Wednesday ordered an early meeting of a committee constituted by it to frame guidelines on media reports related to children.
The court also asked a lawyer, appointed to assist it, to provide a copy of code of conduct on reporting to every member of the committee before its meeting.
The division bench of Acting Chief Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw told the Delhi government to inform the members about the constitution of the panel.
The court earlier directed the government to constitute a committee on a plea that said that guidelines should be framed to regulate disclosure of details about children in cases like that of baby Falak.
The court had taken a suo motu cognizance of a letter filed by a lawyer who sought framing of guidelines to regulate media reporting.
Falak, who is two years old, was admitted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences here Jan 18 with severe head injuries and human bite marks all over her face.
The committee comprises the presiding officer of the Juvenile Justice Board, representatives of the central and Delhi governments, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, the Press Council of India, media and NGOs.
The court also allowed the News Broadcasters Association, that represents 46 news and current affairs TV channels, to become a party in the case.

It's not crazy to see members of the roots band the Salty Suites busking on the streets of Santa Cruz, Laguna and Venice Beach in their downtime.
When they aren't on tour, playing venues such as Abounding Grace Sanctuary on Saturday, the acoustic trio can be found in different spots along the California coast performing traditional Americana for tourists and locals alike.
It's less about the money and more about the audience.
"Santa Cruz is my favorite," said Scott Gates, the 20-year-old mandolin player for the group. "They've had to deal with deteriorating hobos playing Grateful Dead tunes for years. They want something new, something different."
The band, made up of Gates, Chelsea Williams on guitar and Chuck Hailes on bass, specializes in mostly new material, with elements of traditional acoustic fare infused within their sets.
The three have performed on and off with each other for years at different festivals, coffee shops and clubs throughout Central and Southern California. Gates started on the mandolin when he was seven and had his own band by age 13.
His skills have earned him several high profile tours and gigs, including a recent appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" backing comedian and banjo player Steve Martin.
When Gates, Williams and Hailes decided to form a band a few years back, they had no idea how compatible they would be.
"We all seem to be in the same kind of mindset," Gates said. "We share a lot of the same views. We cook together. We like the same kind of food. It is very communal."
Musically, Gates said the band tends to avoid the bluegrass label, but they're also not a Mumford & Sons clone.
"They don't really do it for me," Gates said. "Our whole philosophy is to keep it fresh. Don't play the same groove too often. Keep it as diverse as possible. Make ear candy."
The group is touring in support of its self-titled debut album and follow-up live release. Tucson is its only stop in Arizona.
If You go
• What: Salty Suites in concert.
• When: 7 p.m. Saturday
• When: Abounding Grace Sanctuary, 2450 S. Kolb Road.
• Cost: $15 in advance through lavamusic.org or $20 cash at the door.

This would've been a better bonus car than the BP Patriot and Hellenbach; no pre-order requirement or long wait for a download, but as of last night I'm still unable to keep its special properties
I'm referring to one of the several Duke cars owned by the Spanish Lords that would attack you after you snatched the Burrito van in the mission "Kenny Strikes Back". One of the first two cars that would show up at the compound and try to block your way out is a DP/BP/EP/FP car.
However, fail or pass the mission, after you store the car inside the garage, all its properties are removed. I'll be doing more tests to find out if this can still be kept with its special properties or not at all. Hope something good will come out of it.
DP/BP/EP/FP Duke?

Of course it's ok with me Reconite. Please feel free to do so.
But mind you, this isn't yet a confirmed obtainable special vehicle. Until it is so, interested "collector's" might be misled into owning it.

Big Companies Starting To Pin Point Small Firms
Finally – it's happening. Big companies are started to wonder why they should pay $600 an hour to fly their regular biglaw counsel from New York or L.A. out to Buffalo or Kalamazoo to litigate a case, when they can just as well retain local counsel for a fraction of the price – and better service to boot. This trend of large corporations broadening the pool of law firms that they retain, instead of just hiring from a select few is called pinpointing and Larry Bodine of Legal Marketing Blog blogs about it here.
As Larry describes, the trend amongst big corporations had been "convergence" – to try to consolidate all of their work in a handful of full service biglaw firms, usually located in large cities. But the large firms weren't getting any cost savings; instead, they found that big firms were charging blended rates for all services provided, which could still amount to $500 or $600 an hour.
But that's changing now. As Larry writes:
So corporations in 2005 began
seeking out litigation boutiques in Buffalo, rather than fly their
[pricy] megafirm lawyer up from New York City. Big Companies began hiring
local specialists, who charged local rates, to handle local problems in
Baton Rouge. After a while, I began to notice that lots of little
firms everywhere are getting work from titanic publicly-held companies.
A general counsel can save a lot of
money with Pinpointing, and get nice personal service to boot from a
little firm. Those little firms give the big companies the red carpet
treatment. And the mega law firms will always be fat and happy (the
rich always get richer) because the federal government will always do
something like sue IBM for 10 years, or break up ATT and cause the Baby
Bells to wage legal warfare ad infinitum.
This is
great news for small firms with local litigation practice. But not
everyone agrees with Larry that pinpointing is happening – and he takes
up the opposing view here.

Lori Ann Stephens Releases SOME ACT OF VISION
by BWW News Desk - September 12, 2013
ASD Publishing is proud to announce the release of the young adult novel by author Lori Ann Stephens, 'Some Act of Vision' (ISBN: 978-0-9853441-6-0, Release date September 17, 2013). After ten years of ballet lessons, JorDan Walker has finally landed her first principal role in Romeo and Juliet. Sweeter yet, 'Romeo' has asked her to the May Fling Ball at Winston High. But a massive Texas earthquake triggered by the fracking activity nearby tears apart the community and Jordan's future as a dancer. The Walker family survives the earthquake, but wake up the next morning utterly invisible. Stephens is the author of 'Song of the Orange Moons' (Blooming Tree Press & ASD Publishing), several short stories and poems, and a few opera libretti. When she's not writing or lecturing at SMU in Texas, she reads, dances, and eats the best gourmet, home-cooked meals (cooked by her French lifelong companion). 'When Lori submitted this book to ASD, I read it in one sitting -I could not put it down,' says ASD Managing Editor Greg Goldston. 'The pacing, the storytelling, the fact that it's for young adults but can be enjoyed by older adults and those of both genders-this book has so much going for it! We were thrilled we could be the ones to introduce it to the world.' The book has been called 'a gripping and enchanting tale of love and discovery' by international bestselling author Amy Plum. 'Some Act of Vision' is Stephens's first foray into the world of young adult, but has imagined a thought-provoking story that mixes suspense with romance. Early reviewers are already asking for more JorDan Walker. 'One day,' Stephens recalls, 'I heard a news report about the contamination of well water that was linked to fracking activity. I wondered how many more unintended consequences would surface. What if we've damaged more than the earth in this dogged race for resources? What if we compromise -or lose-our identity in the process? That's where Jordan's crisis was born. I hope the novel balances the action, the romance, and the process of finding one's identity in a satisfying read.' The book will be available in print and eBook from all online retailers as well as indie bookstores across the country. Stephens will be hosting book signings and school discussions on writing for young audiences and on the book's various themes in the Dallas area. To keep up with where she will be, please check out her website at www.loriannstephens.com ASD Publishing, an independent book publisher based in New Jersey, specializes in thought-provoking literary fiction, memoir, self-help nonfiction, and written word that champion personal growth and the independent spirit. www.asdpublishing.com (more...)

USF Bulls women's basketball team to open season without coach Jose Fernandez against Florida A&M
up next
USF women vs. Florida A&M
When/where: 7 tonight; Sun Dome, Tampa
Radio: 1010-AM
Notable: USF will play without coach Jose Fernandez, who has been away from the team since Monday with severe abdominal pain. Fernandez, 37, was admitted to a Tampa hospital Wednesday, and associate coach Jeff Osterman has stepped in as interim coach. The Bulls beat the Rattlers 78-59 in Tampa two years ago. USF will be without F Porche Grant, who was suspended two games for an unspecified violation of NCAA rules. The Bulls have eight newcomers, with junior college guards Leondra Doomes-Stephens and Sequoyah Griffin expected to play significant minutes on the wing. A planned ceremony to unveil a banner commemorating USF's WNIT title has been postponed until Fernandez rejoins the team.

Just over three months ago, the Department of Transportation's tarmac delay rules took effect. The policy stipulates that no flight can be delayed on the tarmac for more than three hours, and that airlines must provide water and functioning restroom facilities during the delay. Consumer rights activists applauded the idea, while many in the industry dismissed it and warned of countless canceled flights and more inconnienvece for passengers.
What we want to know is whether or not any SmarterTravel readers have experienced the rule in practice, or felt the unintended consequences of the new restrictions. Have you been on a long tarmac delay and been supplied with water and snacks? Have you been on a flight that seemed doomed for a long delay, only to have it take off just under the three-hour mark? Has an airline canceled a flight due to a potential tarmac delay, even when you thought the plane could make it?
Share your experiences in the comments section below, and check back often to see how the new rules are affecting SmarterTravel readers. Thanks!
