It was with a deep sadness I learned from Jerry Grandey that my old journalism partner Jim Davidson was in the last stages of hospice. He passed away the day before Earth Day, at home in Crestone, in the house he built himself, surrounded by his family.
He was an amazing man of incredible talent, many interests, incisive wit, great writing chops and a love of newspapers, among other things (like his two kids Greta and Eric and his beloved Tracee Sporer). I don't think any editor before or since has had such a firm read on the pulse of Telluride. He hung in the Sheridan with the best of them. Learned all the secrets. And kept a sense of humor that blossomed in his editorials and kept all of us on our toes – no one wanted to be the butt of a Davidson poke, making grand fun of something while at the same time slamming home a trenchant point one couldn't ignore.
His first published book was a marvelous and terrible story harking back to his personal roots growing up in Rico and Telluride – Mine Work (Utah State Univ., 1999). It won kudos, first novel awards and even received a favorable review in the New York Review of Books – something Ed Abbey was never able to accomplish in his lifetime. Here's what the Denver Post wrote: "With a tone that is often reminiscent of Hemingway, the author writes a moving tale of not only power and shame but also of redemption. The book is fine reading."
Former Tellurider Lito Tejada-Flores has just re-issued this classic novel in a new edition from his Western Eye Press. It's one of those must-read books if you live in the San Juans. Western Eye Press also published his second novel, Postmarked Calexico (2011), and Jim was working on an unpublished third novel.
His blog (jim-davidson.org) says this: "Davidson has worked in the mines and on the Ute Indian Reservation. He's trapped weasel and drawn maps, lived on venison and waited for days for snowplows to free the village from blizzards. He's watched his hardrock mining father taken down by lung disease and published a number of small town newspapers. He has seen a lot."
In 1985 I was editor of the old Telluride Times, having been reluctantly promoted up to that job, after a couple of years as cub reporter, when the old editor left town suddenly. But I wasn't happy with what I felt was too strong of a "booster" slant to the paper, and grew especially restive when a story on people living in their cars due to the housing shortage in Telluride got bumped from our Thanksgiving issue. It was about that time that Jim, who graduated from high school in Telluride, returned to town.
He wanted to start a rival newspaper. He had financial backers. He was smart, knew the place, and wanted to make a splash with a paper that didn't cozy up to advertisers as much as keep the town fathers and mothers honest. But he needed someone with experience to work as managing editor. It didn't take much to seduce me into that job.
The San Miguel Journal was daring. It featured full-page cover photos. International reporter (and backer) Mort Rosenblum had a regular column. It took on Idarado and Newmont Mining when the state-driven Superfund lawsuit began, got sued by Ron Allred's Telluride Ski Company for reporting the truth, and made Telluride a two-paper town that's continued for the past 30 years. Elizabeth Arnold, who went on to NPR fame, was one of our stringers.
The name changed to the Telluride Mountain Journal in 1988, and then in 1989 the Journal bought out the failing Times, and we became the Telluride Times-Journal. The paper regularly won awards from the Colorado Press Association. But Jim was not one to grind through a career forever. We have him to thank for bringing Marta Tarbell and Seth Cagin to town, Marta as editor so Jim could pursue his passion for sailing (at the time). Eventually he sold off the Times-Journal to Wick Communications, and moved out to Kansas with his wife, Tracee. For a brief time he came back to town to rescue the Times-Journal, which was in a tough newspaper battle with the Telluride Daily Planet. I became arts editor at that point, and he restored the Times-Journal's competitiveness. But not for long. He wasn't a company man, and being an employee was not his bailiwick. He quit and began commuting between a family spread in Kansas and Crestone, where he built a home mostly by himself in Crestone. His focus had become his own writing – putting his life experience into fine prose.
Through all of that, Jim was my mentor in journalism. He taught me, edited me, growled at me, made me laugh and cry. We worked together under pressure, counseling each other, conspiring, seeking the deeper truths behind the week's stories. We became friends. I'm going to miss my friend.

With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies to promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage your machine maneuvering and your muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.

An ovarian cyst is a sac filled with fluid that forms on or inside of an ovary.
This article is about cysts that form during your monthly menstrual cycle, called functional cysts. Functional cysts are not the same as cysts caused by cancer or other diseases.
For more information about other causes of cysts on or near the ovaries, see also:
Physiologic ovarian cysts; Functional ovarian cysts; Corpus luteum cysts; Follicular cysts
Each month during your menstrual cycle, a follicle grows on your ovary. A follicle is where an egg is developing. Most months, an egg is released from this follicle. This is called ovulation. If the follicle fails to break open and release an egg, the fluid stays in the follicle and forms a cyst
. This is called a follicular cyst.
Another type of cyst occurs after an egg has been released from a follicle. This is called a corpus luteum cyst. Such cysts often contain a small amount of blood.
Ovarian cysts are more common from puberty to menopause
. This period of time is known as the childbearing years. Ovarian cysts are less common after menopause.
Taking fertility drugs can cause a condition in which multiple large cysts are formed on the ovaries. This is called ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
. The cysts usually go away after a woman's period, or after a pregnancy.
Functional ovarian cysts are not the same as ovarian tumors (including ovarian cancer
) or cysts due to hormone-related conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome
Ovarian cysts often cause no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they are typically pain or a late period.
An ovarian cyst is more likely to cause pain if it:
Symptoms of ovarian cysts can include:
Changes in menstrual periods are not common with follicular cysts, and are more common with corpus luteum cysts. Spotting or bleeding may occur with some cysts.
Your doctor or nurse may discover a cyst during a pelvic exam, or when you have an ultrasound test for another reason.
Ultrasound may be done to diagnose a cyst. Your doctor or nurse may want to check you again in 6 weeks to make sure it is gone.
Other imaging tests that may be done when needed include:
The following blood tests may be done:
Functional ovarian cysts often don't need treatment. They usually go away on their own within 8 - 12 weeks.
If you have frequent cysts, your doctor or nurse may prescribe birth control pills (oral contraceptives). These medicines may reduce the risk of new ovarian cysts. Birth control pills do not decrease the size of current cysts.
Surgery to remove the cyst or ovary may be needed to make sure it isn't ovarian cancer. Surgery is more likely to be needed for:
Types of surgery for ovarian cysts include:
Other treatments may be recommend if you have polycystic ovary syndrome or another disorder that can cause cysts.
Cysts in women who are still having periods are more likely to go away. There is a higher risk of cancer in women who are postmenopausal.
Complications have to do with the condition causing the cysts. Complications can occur with cysts that:
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
Also call for an appointment if the following symptoms have been present on most days for at least 2 weeks:
If you are not trying to get pregnant and you often get functional cysts, you can prevent them by taking hormone medications (such as birth control pills), which prevent follicles from growing.

Hi. The tankless coil in my 23 year old Trianco boiler is having a hard time keeping up with even a single 2.5gpm shower head so I am planning to install an indirect water heater setup.
I took a shot at a layout on paper as a way of trying to understand what was needed. Below are two drawings. The first is my current tankless coil setup. The second is my best shot at what I'd need to do to convert to an indirect setup. I am hoping someone with expeience installing indirects might be willing to critique my design. In particular the components I am proposing and their location in the design.
Thanks in advance for any insights/edits/recommendations you can provide.

EDIT: Please follow this thread In the 3GS General Talk
Hello everyone,
Here is my problem, My boss gave me a brand new iPhone 3GS 32GB to fix it for him (it belong to his relative), his 7yrs daughter managed to put a passcode and she does not remember it they tried many times and now the phone is "iPhone is disabled".
Thats fine since the phone is still new and no data on it I went to restore it BUT the problem is:
1- iTunes gives error and wont accept any firmware ver. even the latest from iTunes it self.
2- I have no Idea what so ever which firmware its sitting on, but based on the S\N on the box: (88019) its very new.
3- Not sure if it is jailbroken BUT I tried different SIM cards (vodafone, etc..) and it was working and could receive calls.
Other than the above info I dont have more I think..
Any Help would be very much appreciated as I have been searching a lot the last couple of dayz..
EDIT: Sorry wrong forum it should go to 3GS General Talk...

Well it has been three days now and the Fluidmaster is quiet and working. Weird that thwo different Korky towers didn't work and one new cap. Korky's are around $13 and Fluid master is around $7.90. Hm?
The only thing about the Fluidmaster is that the tower part it isn't tall enough. My tank is probably 40 years old, is taller than the new ones and holds more water. The Fluidmaster will only allow water to fill to with in two inches of the water line. I have the setting to maximum float height.
Oh well, it flushes fine and I'll save a bit more water. It'll help make up for the $100 that the Korky wasted.

What's New
Texas experienced the worst of storms and the best of comebacks during this past year. While Texas extended a big hand to victims of Hurricane Katrina, which hit at the end of August, September's Hurricane Rita devastated East Texas. Despite the horrific storm, Texans were outside in its tailwinds, helping each other to begin a comeback that is ongoing.
Many displaced 2005 and 2006 conventions that were originally scheduled for the damaged areas were accepted in other cities such as Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and San Antonio. After the storm, San Antonio began returning a portion of its convention center revenues to relief efforts. But, while lending a hand, the unscathed majority of the state has not missed a beat in finishing new developments, one-of-a-kind venues, and property upgrades.
In transportation news, two of the state's major gateways have expanded. At Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the new International Arrivals Building has opened to streamline customs and the baggage processing. In 2004, the airport could process about 2,000 international arrivals an hour; now, about 4,500 people can be welcomed to the United States each hour. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport has the new Skylink high-speed airport train, reported to be the world's largest automated people-mover system. Skylink is part of an expansion that also added 28 gates in a new 2 million-square-foot International Terminal D and Texas' first Grand Hyatt Hotel, integrated into the new terminal. Hotel guests can go straight from the hotel to all terminals via Skylink.
Major hotel developments around the state include the new Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa opened in June in the Hill Country near Austin, the same part of the state that saw the Horseshoe Bay Resort Marriott Hotel open last summer.
In San Antonio, two towers reaching 525 feet high will change the skyline when the Grand Hyatt San Antonio opens in 2008. The 1,000-room property broke ground last summer adjacent to the convention center and will be the city's second-tallest structure when it is finished.
In Houston, the upscale Galleria area is boasting three new hotels: the Hilton Garden Inn, the renovated Hilton Houston Post Oak (formerly the Doubletree), and, from the InterContinental Hotels Group, Hotel Indigo, which opened in April. The Hotel Indigo will change all its "mood" elements — even the way employees answer the phone — quarterly. North of Houston in The Woodlands, conferees can cruise beside a waterfall in air-conditioned water taxis as they travel from shopping to dining and back to their hotel through the sparkling lights of a new waterway.
In Dallas' Victory Park district, five new buildings are expected to open this year, including the W Dallas Victory Hotel and Residences this past spring. Victory Park, an emerging master-planned area, includes office space, residences, retail shops, premier restaurant brands, and nightlife options. In downtown Fort Worth, Omni Hotels plans to build a 600-room convention center hotel.
Galveston has been in the cruise business for only five years, and already six ships are calling it home port during the 2006 winter cruise season, with more than 1 million passengers expected during the next year. Another new Galveston attraction: Schlitterbahn Galveston Water Park. It has 19 rides spread over 12 acres, plus a portion of the park with capacity for 2,000 people can be enclosed. Still, Arlington is "Fun Central" in the state, and its Six Flags Over Texas theme park debuted 10 rides this spring, the largest capital expansion in its 45-year history.
Facility Update
The HILTON ARLINGTON has renovated its 252 guest rooms. The hotel has 11,000 square feet of meeting space.
The 310-room WYNDHAM ARLINGTON renovated its guest rooms in the second half of 2005. The hotel has 21,200 square feet of flexible meeting space.
BARTON CREEK RESORT & SPA has expanded its Darrell Royal Ballroom to 8,240 square feet and added an 18-hole putt-putt golf course behind the spa building, next to the nature trail. The resort has 300 rooms, 30,000 square feet of meeting space, a 156-seat amphitheater, and 72 holes of golf.
The HYATT REGENCY LOST PINES RESORT & SPA opened this summer near Bastrop, 13 miles south of Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The resort has 491 rooms, 50,000 square feet of indoor function space, an 18-hole golf course, a spa, and eight restaurants.

I recently read in your newspaper the statement from a San Miguel Power Association communications executive that the new 7.474 percent electric power line undergrounding surcharge was a "compromise between the local governments, San Miguel County, Tri-state and SMPA."
This is not true with respect to the Town of Ophir, which has never agreed to the imposition of this surcharge. Currently, the Town of Ophir has a Franchise Agreement with SMPA that includes a 30-year, 10 percent surcharge that was created in 1988 to cover the expense of the relocation of the Ophir transmission line that runs through the Ophir valley. This transmission line was proposed to run directly through the middle of town, although Ophir was able to negotiate the relocation of the line to skirt the town boundaries. This was accepted by Ophir as a localized benefit for the Ophir community with no cost sharing from any other community for the line that does serve the entire region.
The Ophir community sees the undergrounding of the new transmission line across Specie and Wilson mesas, far from our view corridor, as a localized aesthetic benefit for those affluent property owners. The addition of this new surcharge would create a surcharge rate for the residents of Ophir of 17.474 percent and in the end would mean that Ophir residents will have paid a surcharge for 52 years. Ophir is a small, working-class community that by no means matches the electricity consumption of the ski area, Mountain Village or Telluride. Furthermore, San Miguel County BOCC resolution 2008-13 provided language that the towns of Mountain Village and Telluride must pass franchise agreement amendments accepting the surcharge, but Ophir was not addressed for this requirement. Ophir's franchise agreement mandates that rates and charges be "equivalent" to charges in other towns throughout the entire SMPA Service Area, including Norwood, Nucla, Naturita, Ridgeway, Ouray and Silverton, which are not subject to the surcharge.
In the fall of 2008, the Town of Ophir was approached by SMPA regarding the acceptance of the 7.474 percent surcharge. Ophir declined due to the current 10 percent surcharge that Ophir pays and the equivalency requirement in our franchise agreement. The SMPA Board chose impose the surcharge regardless of Ophir's opposition and franchise agreement.
For the record, SMPA's decision was not communicated to Ophir and it was only learned that the surcharge was to be imposed on Ophir when receiving the May 2010 SMPA Energywise newsletter. Since that time Ophir has made great efforts to communicate with SMPA and attend board meetings asking, to no avail, the board to rescind their decision to impose the surcharge on Ophir. As a community, we find this surcharge to be an unfair burden on our residents as it will not benefit Ophir in the slightest. Ophir must now address whether to file a Public Utilities Commission complaint and/or file suit in district court to enforce our franchise agreement. We regret that the SMPA Board, General Manager, President and our District Representative did not fairly address Ophir's legitimate concerns in this process.
– Randy Barnes, Town Manager, Town of Ophir

Butler, despite the slobbering of the media for that past 6-7 years, is not an elite, marquee or even outstanding program. I don't understand the problem with Butler doing what they've done for years: hire an insider.
Brandon Miller cannot replace Brad Stevens, but he must be the best replacement
Whomever was hired to succeed Brad Stevens at Butler was going to have to deal with impossible expectations, following in the footsteps of the man with the winningest first six years in college basketball history. It's pretty certain that no one would be able to match or surpass what Stevens did there, since no one had ever achieved to that extent anywhere before.
Butler is not in a unique situation in this respect. Very few programs are able to replace a legendary coach — and, yes, despite having just a handful of years on his resume, Stevens achieved legendarily at Butler. Kansas did it with Bill Self, and the man he replaced, Roy Williams, is doing a strong job of returning North Carolina to Dean Smith levels. You can argue other modern examples, but it's rare, and it's never coming from a guy who has not been a head coach before.
So it's folly to examine Brandon Miller, the newly re-hired assistant coach who was bumped up to Butler's big seat on Saturday, under that comparative prism. It is fair, though, to ask whether Butler, in sticking with the in-house succession process that has served the school extremely well to this point, did the best thing this time around, with its maiden season in the Big East looming.
Had he not left earlier this spring for South Alabama's head job, Matthew Graves almost certainly would have been tapped as Stevens' replacement. Graves' work was a huge piece that helped fuel Stevens' teams over the past several years, and his hiring would have made perfect sense. A standout Butler player and long-time assistant, he would have hit every checkbox for a good hire for this program at this time.
Stripped of that option, though, Butler only considered Miller and current Michigan assistant LaVall Jordan, an excellent recruiter and former Bulldog who was thought by many earlier this week to be the more likely of the two choices. Miller is also a former Bulldog star, having led the team in scoring as a senior in 2002-03, and having been hired twice by Stevens is as good a referral as a prospective coach could have. After the news broke that Miller would be the choice, Stevens immediately endorsed him.
Congratulations to the Millers. Brandon is an inspiring person and coach – just like he played! One of BU's all-time greats.
— Brad Stevens (@BCCoachStevens) July 6, 2013
Miller had to be hired the second time, though, because he left coaching for a year after the 2010-11 season, when he was working at Ohio State (under former Butler coach Thad Matta). After a year away from the sport, he returned as a special assistant at Illinois last season before being hired back by Butler in April after Graves left the staff. He's ascended to the head coaching job without working a single game as an assistant in his second stint at the school.
Miller was widely regarded as a rising star in the business before he left it, so this is not a case of an unqualified hire. An inexperienced one, maybe, in terms of head-coaching expectations, but being young certainly didn't hurt Stevens, or a number of other coaches thriving nationwide.
Should Butler have considered other options, though? The speed with which Barry Collier made the replacement speaks to a man with certainty about his fallback options, and the process has worked multiple times before for the school. But this is a new era of Butler basketball, with national expectations that make the job a bigger deal than any time in its history.
Stevens' success set the school up to become part of the Big East, but now the head coach will have Fox Sports 1 money as part of his war chest. Miller shouldn't be expected to win 28 games a year for the next six seasons, as Stevens just did at lower levels, but he will be expected to elevate Butler's base standards. That means recruiting, scheduling and performing at a major-program level. For years, high-major fans scoffed that Butler could never survive a Big East schedule. Now, that's the mandate.
It's quite possible Collier made the best possible hire, and it's understandable that he would trust a process that has worked before, but Collier's process decision sets up the real question that will chase Miller as he builds Butler in his own mold. It's not about whether Miller can be the next Brad Stevens. It's about whether he was the best choice to follow him.
Perhaps the author has difficulty understanding the qualities of strength and integrity and lapses into the old saw that it's all about winning. Winning counts but the author has virtually no skill in assessing matters of style.
Sorry I don't get the point of this article at all. Butler stated before they hired a new Coach that the new coach would be someone with ties to Butler so they would continue with the same philosophy of how the Basketball program would be run. That is basically what the school, alumni and players wanted but I guess not you. With that criteria, they had 2 Candidates with Butler ties and they hired one. Were there any other Coaches available with better resumes with Butler ties? If not, then what is your point? Sorry I don't get it. If Butler had said that their criteria was for the best available Coach no matter if he didn't have Butler ties, I could see your point. But they clearly didn't say that.
It is not a question of whether he has the best resume, but whether he is best suited for the immediate job at hand. Most certainly this is the right decision, because with the unfortunate and recent departure of the last assistant, he provides a relatively seamless transition, which is most respectful of existing players and recruits coming into the program. Finally someone is thinking about the players, instead of other issues. You can speculate about whether another young assistant coach might be a better recruiter or a better coach, but given acute time constraints, this was the right thing to do......
@SandersonKramer The point is that process works well at lower levels. At the major college level, most schools work on the principle of getting the best coach that fits that school's "brand" and is a proven winner, typically as a head coach of at least a mid major program. My guess is that no other school in the Big East would limit its recruiting only to coaches with ties to the school. Butler is now a destination that many highly respected coaches would consider. The pool was larger than 2. Why put limits on? That's like saying, after moving from a small town to the big city, I'm only going date girls from my home. Most people would re access their options.
@gary41 Well, not exactly. He wasn't on the current staff until April so he wouldn't have had much contact with recruits and because of NCAA rules, limited contact with the existing players. Butler also has the obligation to the players to get the best available coach that is right for the school. It may prove to be the right decision but it is not anything close to a certainty. The Big East isn't the best place to break in an inexperienced head coach.

My customer has 2 on a 3 bay sink and the baffles are nearly gone, dangerous and letting lots of nasty smells into the room when the water is ran.
If this was insinkerators, this wouldn't even be a thread posting.
Just thought maybe somebody has a head's up to find these parts; need to be OEM.

some heads from imagination, trying to see where I get stuck/struggle so I can properly apply my studies.
a doodle I don't think I'll get around to finishing...
and I was chatting on skype with a friend. The new beta of skype has this cool thing called 'screen sharing' so you can hang out and draw and share your screen with a friend, and show them what you're working on, as well as see what they are working on. So somewhere during the chat, I screencapped what he was working on, and gave him a PO...and talked about...random art stuff during it. I don't really remember what I said, mostly gibberish probably. I make stupid sound effects when I draw.
great work...i'm really digging the skull paintings you did.
cool skull man your getting better at those oils
yeah they usually fall asleep
your pencils are looking stronger mang ^5. erm i liked to see portraits done at the ld's. they help tons on the faces, oh and more emotional stuffs. those angles are all looking pretty right, focus a little more on the top though, on the downward angle ones. thanks for dropping by my sketchbook..ill update soon swear haha D:

some great studies, esp. the skull - and anything painted ~ and the ofc the pigs and the other work is awesome
SB. p31 updated 25.04.2012.
All right, I had to come find the eyeball-licking guy because I saw the thread bumped last night at bedtime.
I'm seriously impressed by the quality of the 10 minute life drawings. The guy with four nostrils is pretty interesting as well. I think that more could be done with that one in terms of lighting... it looks a little flat to me.
But your work in traditional media seems to be improving; the digis are really awesome.
Best of luck and have fun.

The #2 Prince Avenue Christian School Wolverines will host the #8 Athens Academy Spartans tonight. Last week, the then-unranked Spartans defeated Lakeview 21-6 for their 4th straight win of the season to earn a spot in the AP Press Poll's top ten for the Region's Class A GHSA division. The Wolverines, meanwhile, maintain a 5-0 season following last week's 40-0 blowout over Athens Christian Academy. The Wolverines have thus far outscored each opponent by an average of 23 points per game. One of these teams will head to the locker room nursing their first loss of the season in a Class A matchup that is sure to a classic. Next week, the Spartans visit Pinecrest Academy while PACS faces the Commerce Tigers in regional action.
The Oconee County Warriors have faced some tough competition this season, as reflected by their 1-3 record, including two teams at the tops of their regions and one in the hunt. Last week, they were delivered a 14-56 defeat by the 4-0 Morgan County Bulldogs. Tonight they welcome the 2-2 Elbert County Blue Devils, who crushed East Jackson last week, 42-2. Next week they head north to face Hart County High.
North Oconee is set to take on those 4-0 Morgan County Bulldogs at the NOHS homecoming game tonight. The Titans lost their season opener to St Pius X by a whopping 14-50, but since that game their season has taken on an impressive tone. Last week, they crushed the Jackson County Panthers 35-6. The six points put up by the Panthers represent the only scoring Titan opponents have done since the St Pius game. Next week, the Titans face the Franklin County Lions at home.
Got pics of your favorite players or team? Want to post a final score, or even better, a picture of the final on the scoreboard? Be part of the Patch sports team...post 'em here!
The George Walton Academy Bulldogs travel to Hebron Christian Academy tonight. The Dogs knocked 8-A rivals the Commerce Tigers out of the regional top ten last week, beating them 26-14 to the delight of the homecoming crowd. The Bulldogs are now 5-1 and moved up a notch to #7 in GHSA's 8-A region. Hebron's season has been all shutouts, but they have primarily been on the wrong side of them. They defeated Crosskeys Academy 60-0 in their season opener but haven't scored a single point since. Last week the lost to Pincrest, 35-zip. The Dogs will take a bye next week before heading to Pincrest to try and help that team start a scoreless streak of their own.
All Purple Hurricane warnings for tonight have been cancelled, as Monroe Area is on a bye week. Last week, The 'Canes defeated Lanier in front of it's home crowd, 33-22 to remain undefeated at 5-0. They also moved up a spot to #7 in GHSA's 8-AAAAA league. The winds are forecast to pick up again by next Friday, when the Stephens County Indians beat a warpath into town.
Somebody's got to win the game in Greensboro tonight, and it might as well be the Social Circle Redskins. When the 'Skins face the equally hapless Greene County Tigers tonight, both teams will be seeking their first win of the season. Each team is off to an uninspiring 0-4 start, and Social Circle hasn't won a game since the 2010 season. Social Circle lost 23-49 to Rabin County last week; for Greene it was 26-62 against Jefferson. Next week, the Redskins head home to face Oglethorpe County, hopefully with a win under their headdresses.
Clarke Central's Gladiators head into homecoming with an even record of 2-2 to face the 2-3 Salem Seminoles. Following a slow start this season, CCHS has shown promise by winning their past two games, having bested the Apalachee Wildcats 35-12 last Thursday and crushing Loganville 40-6 the week prior. The Seminoles were defeated 18-35 by the rising Falcons of Flowery Branch. Next week, The Gladiators march to Conyers to face the Heritage Patriots.
The 3-2 Cedar Shoals Jaguars hope to avoid a stampede tonight as they face the 4-1 Gainesville Red Elephants. The Jags spent this past week preparing to take on the GHSA-statewide ranked #13 Elephants, whose only defeat this season was a two-point squeaker against #6 West Forsyth. Last Friday the Jaguars were nearly upset by the late game rally of the Loganville Red Devils, but held on to win 28-26 in the Fourth quarter. Next week they are on bye week before hosting the Apalachee Wildcats on Oct. 19.
Athens Christian Academy Eagles are home tonight against the Commerce Tigers. The Eagles were shutout last week by the North Oconee Titans, 0-44 and find themselves 1-5 at mid-season. The Tigers, meanwhile, are eager to claw their way back into the top ten. Last week, they tasted defeat for the first time and were knocked out of the AP Press Poll's 8-A top ten courtesy of the George Walton Academy Bulldogs. Next week, the Eagles will face Hebron Christian.
The Winder-Barrow Bulldoggs have their work cut out for them tonight against the Heritage Patriots. The Doggs head into mid-season with a frustrating 0-4 record. Last week they took a bye to regroup on the heels of a close game against Salem on Sept 21 which they lost on the road 20-22. Heritage is 4-1, with their only loss coming last week to the GHSA #13 ranked Gainseville Red Elephants, who continued their stampede across the state by defeating the Patriots 42-14. Next week will see no reprieve for the Doggs as they will head to Flowery Branch to face the GHSA #38 Falcons.
Those Falcons aren't far away tonight. In fact, they are just across 316 in Apalachee Wildcat territory. The Cats haven't logged a win since their season opener against Lanier, and fell last week to Clarke Central, 12-35. A win tonight would be quite an upset against the 3-2 Flowery Branch team. Don't let those 2 losses fool you...one came against GHSA ranked #3 Northside (Warner Robbins); in the other they came within a touchdown against #6 Gainesville. The three other teams they have defeated by an average of three touchdowns. Next week the Cats head a few miles south on Hwy 81 to meet the Loganville Red Devils.
The Knights of Bethlehem Christian Academy seek win #2 for the season against a hapless Hanckock Academy team. BCA is 1-5 on the season following last week's 17-20 loss to David Emmanuel Academy. Hancock is 0-6 on the season after losing to Green Academy 31-41 last week. Next week the Knights face Curtis Baptist School.

Bronze medalist coaches local gymnasts
Public can see Olympian on Saturday at Acrobrats gym
VICTORVILLE • A world-class Olympian is making her mark on the next generation of gymnasts right here in the High Desert.
Morgan White, who won a bronze medal in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, came to High Desert Acrobrats gym in Victorville on Friday to critique the gym's competition team, which is traveling to Hawaii next month to compete in a national competition. White will be helping the students fine-tune their routines, which will include both floor and balance beam skills — two of White's coaching strengths.
Standing at 4 feet, 10 inches tall, White said she does freelance coaching at different gyms, offering her expertise and experience to aspiring gymnasts across the country. White said her love for gymnastics began at age 5.
"I wanted to be like those girls on TV," White said. "When I made the (U.S. Olympic) team, it was a dream come true." The American team that White made, however, did not originally win their bronze medals — China did. Ten years after the Olympics, however, the International Olympic Committee stripped China of their bronze because they had used underage competitors. The bronze medals were subsequently awarded to the American team.
White, however, was forced to retire from her gymnastics career at the tender age of 20 after three shoulder surgeries prevented her from practicing.
"I didn't want to stop but unfortunately the lifespan of a gymnast's career isn't that long," White said.
Although White can no longer compete, she said she wants to continue to inspire and help young people — she is currently in her fourth year at Miami University, Ohio, studying for a degree in special education. White hopes to become a special education teacher and continue coaching in her free time.
"Teaching will allow me to work during the year and coach in the summer," White said. "That way I'll keep both my passions."
White will stay in town through today, and according to secretary Chris Johnson, the public is invited to observe her work for a $5 spectator fee. Johnson said White will be critiquing students from other studios across the Southland, as Acrobrats is hosting the Amateur Athletic Union season opener, which is a competition.
Johnson said White will be at the studio from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, call (760) 955-1900. Acrobrats is at 14130 Bear Valley Road, Suite 201, in Victorville.

University of Missouri Health System touches the lives of Missourians across the state in myriad ways - through the quality care provided at our hospitals and clinics, the education of future health professionals offered by our health sciences schools, the specialty services delivered by University Physicians, and the life-saving research conducted here.
With more than 7,500 faculty and staff and approximately $883 million in expenditures annually, the health system has an estimated positive economic impact of $2 billon.
Patients from every county in the state of Missouri are served by University of Missouri Health System's clinical facilities. University Hospital and Clinics, a 307-bed acute care hospital in Columbia, operates the region's only Level 1 trauma center - the Frank L. Mitchell Jr., M.D. Trauma Center; the only burn and wound intensive care unit - the George W. Peak Memorial Burn and Wound Center; the only kidney transplant program; and the Chest Pain Center of Excellence. The hospital receives more than 42,000 visits to its Emergency Center annually.
Since 1940, Ellis Fischel Cancer Center has provided comprehensive cancer care to citizens from throughout the state, regardless of their ability to pay. With 130 employees, Ellis offers radiology and imaging capabilities, chemotherapy treatment, radiation oncology, outpatient surgical procedures, the Margaret Proctor Mulligan Breast Health and Research Center, cancer-screening services, a lymphedema center and support services for cancer survivors.
University Children's Hospital offers comprehensive, multidisciplinary care in more than 30 unique pediatric specialties and offers the region's only pediatric transport service to our neonatal and pediatric intensive care units. In 2010, all of Children's Hospital services were consolidated at Women's and Children's Hospital (formerly Columbia Regional Hospital), providing a kid-friendly environment in a convenient location for our families and featuring all private rooms.
The 159-bed Women's and Children's Hospital provides the region's most comprehensive and complete health care services and technology to meet the special needs of women with more than 1,800 babies born annually at the Family Birth Center, help for high-risk pregnancies at the Missouri Center for Maternal Fetal Medicine, and hope for couples trying to conceive at the Missouri Center for Reproductive Medicine and Fertility.
University of Missouri Health System includes three health sciences schools. The MU School of Health Professions serves the public by delivering high-quality research, providing community health services in student-run clinics, and by educating an ever-increasing body of students in the fields of rehabilitation and diagnostic sciences. Students benefit from working alongside outstanding faculty who serve as clinical mentors as well as educators, and they devote countless hours to working and volunteering with community clients. Service and outreach activities include the MU Adult Day Connection, clinics for physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy, the Robert G. Combs Language Preschool and The Health Connection just to name a few. To date, the school has more than 8,000 alumni, 60% of whom work right here in Missouri. Research funding for 2012 totaled approximately $3 million.
The MU Sinclair School of Nursing provides educational programs for traditional students, college graduates seeking a career change and graduate programs for nurses seeking master's or doctoral degrees. MU graduated its first nursing class in 1904. To date, the nursing school has more than 6,500 alumni. The 2007 Chronicle of Higher Education ranked the school third in the nation in faculty scholarly activity among universities that offer doctoral degrees. The school's research funding totaled $17 million in 2008.
The University of Missouri School of Medicine was established more than 160 years ago as the first public medical school west of the Mississippi River. The school's primary care, family and community medicine, rural health and biochemistry programs are ranked among the best in the nation. Many of the school's more than 5,800 physician alumni practice in underserved areas. With more than 500 faculty physicians and scientists, the school provides training annually to approximately 900 medical students, residents, fellows and doctoral students. The school's research funding totaled $220 million in 2008.
Members of the University Physicians group practice number more than 450, and they provide primary and specialized care at more than 50 clinics within the system's hospitals and in locations throughout the community.

These have proved very useful and have saved a lot of time.
Being someone who likes to do his own set ups, this little set of gauges makes life so much easier when getting the correct radius on the strings. Highly recommended.
The Understring Radius Gauges are must have tools for guitar setup.
I also purchased the StewMac String Action Gauge, and the CruzTools GuitarTech Guitar kit, which I found on Amazon. The CruzTool kit has the wrenches needed to adjust neck truss rods, as well as a metal ruler, feeler gauges, and some other setup tools in a nice case.
These tools allowed me to setup my Tele and my Musicman bass so that they play much better!
I also bought the book How to Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great by Dan Erlewine. You can probably setup your guitar without it by using the Web and the instructions that come with the CruzTool kit, but the Erlewine book puts it all in one place, and gives some setup specs and problem solving suggestions as well.
One area that the book was a little weak on was the topic of Neck Angle. After adjusting my bass guitar's truss rod, I still needed to lower the bridge to get the right string height, but the bridge pieces were as low as they could go. So instead I adjusted the neck angle which solved the problem. Luckily, I found some good info on the web about this.
Who would've thought that a simple thing like matching the neck radius to the bridge radius would be a major improvement. This little adjustment made my guitar MUCH more playable! Goodbye fret-outs and dead notes! Thanks Stewmac!
Very helpful tool in setting up a guitar. Especially on a Strat or Tele. Very quick shipment. Stewmac.com is a great place to start collecting tools and getting good information on how to do repairs and stuff. Thanks guys!
This is a good tool to find the top radius on your saddles. Just match it to the end of your fretboard. I'd still use a 6" ruler to do individual string height, especially on boards that have been replaned. But this tool is much easier to handle than a radiused sanding block when top profiling a saddle.
Good tool to own
Pretty hard to pass up these beauties from stewmac's inventory. I could make them but why?! when they are right here at a fabulous bargain!
These are great!! They are easy to use and make setting string height a breeze. Used them first on my Telecaster and it now plays like a different guitar. My Strat is next.
Thanks Stewart-MacDonald for a great product.
Used these on my Strat and three Telecasters and got the correct results quickly. A good quick tool.

A test for platelet-associated antibodies shows whether you have antibodies
that are directed against platelets in your blood.
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
No special preparation is necessary for adults.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test may be ordered when you have a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia
). It is used to detect antibodies against platelets
A negative test is normal.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results show that you have antiplatelet antibodies. These are proteins made by your body that attach to platelets and destroy them. This causes a low platelet count, which can lead to excessive bleeding.
Antiplatelet antibodies may appear in the blood for unknown reasons (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
), or as a side effect of certain drugs such as gold heparin, quinidine, and quinine. These drugs can sometimes cause the immune system to identify its own platelets as abnormal or foreign, and attack them.
The exact interpretation of the results of this test is controversial.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Current tests cannot tell for sure whether a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) is caused by immune problems. Therefore, your doctor will make a diagnosis based on other tests and examinations.
This test is often performed because you have a bleeding problem. Bleeding may be more of a risk for you than for people who do not have bleeding problems.
