Dylan gets physical with Nick, Adam tells Chelsea about his troubles, and Victoria surprises Billy.
Y&R logo (CBS)
Jack finds Billy at the Abbott house waiting to discuss today's business news. Billy lets him know that he figured out he was 'fish hook'. They bicker about Jack being friends with Adam. Jack defends it. Billy wonders why he cares about Adam. Jack mutters that he knows what it's like to screw up your father's legacy. Billy says Jack and Victor are nothing alike. Jack says everyone wants their parents' approval. Summer arrives. Billy receives a call from Victoria who sends a sexy lingerie picture. He heads for home. Jack apologizes to Summer for what she overheard between him and Victor - he's up for her cussing him out or forgiving him. Summer says she knows he, Victor, and Nick all care. She talks with him about Los Angeles. Jack says she has to make peace with her life or it doesn't matter how far she goes, she'll take it with her.
At the Club, Chloe goes on to Chelsea about how she should have lied forever. Chelsea grumbles it's not the time for 'I told you so's and complains that Adam wants to own Connor and Dylan just wanted to love him. She breaks the news that she's staying with Adam. Chloe is appalled. Chelsea worries that he'll go straight to the courts when the paternity test comes. They discuss whether Adam will try to cut her out and Chloe suggests a strategy. Chelsea says she won't lie anymore - not even to herself. Chloe wonders if things could still work out with Dylan. Chelsea wants him back.
Sharon cries in the tackhouse. Cassie appears and says Dad didn't mean it. Sharon sobs that he doesn't want her there. They talk about changing the DNA results and what happened to Phyllis. Sharon says Avery was the only thing left in her way. She's frustrated that Nick won't let her back in and starts slamming around. "Faith wants us to be together, why does that matter to me and not to Nick?" Cassie warns her she's losing it - she'll blow her chance.
At the park, Nick brings up Avery being late to the wedding to Dylan. Dylan says he didn't know it was their wedding day and the walls were closing in. Nick is sorry about the baby but snarks there's a bright side - Avery is free again. They argue. Nick complains that Dylan ran to Avery when it went bad with Chelsea. He's in love with her. Dylan just wants to drink. Nick won't drop it, and puts his hands on Dylan. Dylan hits him. That seems to bring them to their senses. They talk.
Avery visits Phyllis in Georgia and tells her about being late to her own wedding and how it all turned out. "You would have loved it, so why weren't you there?" She pleads with her to wake up and tell her she got what she deserved. Avery talks about their history. "You left me again." She says Summer needs her and no one can take her place. She shouts, trying to goad Phyllis into waking up. She says Sharon's trying to get back into Nick's life, and she hurt him so much, Sharon just might win. "I love you, Phyllis."
Adam sips a whiskey and thinks in his penthouse. He makes a call to see when the paternity results will be in. Chelsea comes home and he shows her the headlines about Newman. He rants that Victor's gutted Newman to make him look like a failure when he took an actual bullet for the guy. He invites Chelsea to rub it in that she warned him. Chelsea doesn't. She says she's sorry. Adam talks about being a better father than Victor was to him. Chelsea muses it's not much of a stretch. Adam takes 'Peanut' from her and mentions the blanket. Dylan arrives to see Chelsea. Adam heads upstairs after warning them. Chelsea wants to reconcile, but Dylan returns her four-leaf clover and says he's done with this. After, Adam holds the baby and watches her sob from the stairs.
Nick comes home to find Sharon still there. She notices his black eye. Cassie's voice tells Sharon to step up. She gets Nick some ice and notes he's been drinking. She gets him a plate of dinner. Nick thanks her, but prompts her to leave. Cassie congratulates her for being supportive. "Give him time."
Billy gets home and phones Victoria immediately for phone sex. She appears in the living room in her lingerie. They have sex on the sofa.
Genoa City Spoilers for Tomorrow on The Young and the Restless:
Victor says to Chelsea's baby, "You are a Newman, aren't you?" Chelsea retorts, "And I'm going to do everything I can to keep that from ruining his life."
Avery tells Leslie she doesn't want to see anyone caused any undue pain. Leslie asks, "And by anyone do you mean Dylan?"
Dylan tells Stitch he's selling the coffee house. It's time for him to leave Genoa City.

Chemistry Department
Transfer Planning Guides | Course Descriptions | Class Schedule | Faculty | Resources
Program Information
Chemistry is the science of matter at the atomic to molecular scale, dealing primarily with collections of atoms, such as gases, molecules, crystals, and metals. Chemistry deals with the composition and statistical properties of such structures, as well as their transformations and interactions to become materials encountered in everyday life. Chemistry also deals with understanding the properties and interactions of individual atoms with the purpose of applying that knowledge at macroscopic levels.
Transfer Degree: Associate of Arts Degree
Designed to provide students with a broad liberal arts background of study during their first and second years of college with an emphasis on Chemistry. The state's two-year and four-year schools developed transfer agreements that allow students from a community college to transfer at least 90 credits (60 semester credits) to a four-year college or university. The degrees satisfy some - or all - general requirements for a bachelor's degree.

Whether it's a pilgrimage, religious-themed cruise or the chance to travel with fellow believers, many seek a holy touch to their holidays.
It's probably the oldest form of tourism but it's not showing any sign of waning. Hundreds of millions of travellers a year are taking part in religious-oriented travel, or "faith tourism", whether to learn more about their religion or just to travel with like-minded folk.
Religious tourism tends to be associated with pilgrimages, such as the annual hajj to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, but a new report highlights its many forms.
Understanding Faith Tourism, by the US-based tourism marketing company Group University, says faith tourism can include leisure tours, missionary and volunteer trips, crusades and conventions, religious retreats and visits to religious attractions and shrines.
A fast-growing trend is faith-based cruises, which can be either offered by the cruise line or organised as a charter cruise.
"Some cruise lines offer religious-themed itineraries like Holy Land or Lands of the Bible cruises," the report says.
"Today's hot trend is fund-raising cruises, where cruise lines offer matching funds or other amenities for the group."
The report says faith-based cruises are usually not restricted to religious groups, but the faith-themed excursions provide an alternative to a standard cruise.
A faith-based cruise can be simply a leisure cruise with like-minded passengers on board or the cruise destination might hold importance.
"Popular options today include missions or Christian school teacher cruises, study groups and mission project cruises with a small project planned at every port," it says.
One cruise line that has tapped into the religious market is Avalon Waterways, which operates specialist cruises including a Jewish heritage-themed itinerary.
Options from other operators include a Mormon cruise and many Christian-themed itineraries.
Another growing area is schoolies trips, with organisations such as the Scripture Union Queensland and Schoolies Revolution offering Christian-oriented alternatives to the standard end-of-school trip.
SU Schoolies offers drug- and alcohol-free trips to holiday spots including the Whitsundays and Sunshine Coast, combining adventure activities with Christian elements such as guest speakers.
Schoolies Revolution offers three-week missionary-style trips to Third World countries, to encourage school-leavers to step out of their comfort zone and help the poor.
One of the biggest elements of faith tourism, aside from pilgrimages, is simply "fellowship" travel, where people choose to travel with others who share their beliefs rather than join a mainstream tour.
The founding director of the specialist travel agency Christian Fellowship Tours, John Cronshaw, says his business is all about giving Christians the opportunity to travel with like-minded people.
"It's no different to a garden club going somewhere," he says.
Cronshaw says his agency, which is based in the Blue Mountains, offers some specialised trips, such as a "Steps of Paul Cruise", but the majority of tours are to popular travel destinations.
The itineraries are similar to those offered by mainstream operators but they include morning prayers and the opportunity to attend church along the way.
One of the only mainstream tour operators that actively targets the religious tourism market is the Globus group, which has a dedicated religious travel brochure.
The company offers itineraries such as "Lourdes and Shrines of France" and "Grand Catholic Italy".
The marketing manager Australasia, Christian Schweitzer, says the company sees value in the niche and has this year expanded its offering to include a series of tours under its budget brand, Cosmos.
Schweitzer says global bookings for its religious tours number in the thousands yearly, with Australia's contribution "small but steady".
"This tends to spike every 10 years when we operate tours that take in the Passion play in Oberammergau in Germany," he says.
"Our 2010 tours were a sellout success because of the uniqueness of the Passion play."
Greece and Mediterranean Travel Centre also offers faith-based trips and has just released a "Celebrate Christmas in the Holy Land" tour.
The believers
While there is no known study on the total size of the faith tourism market, the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) estimates the pilgrim sector alone accounts for more than 300 million people a year.
The UNWTO also estimates there are about 600 million national and international religious and spiritual voyages in the world.
About 40 per cent of these are in Europe, while more than half are within Asia.
The UNWTO says religious tourism should be given the same respect as the "sun, sea and sand holidays that are readily marketed" by the travel industry.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -
Senior forward Mark Hull, UCSB's second-leading scorer and its leading rebounder, has been selected Second Team All-District 15 by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, it was announced today.

Dr. John Recchiuti Spotlighted by AHA
March 19, 2013
ALLIANCE, Ohio — University of Mount Union professor Dr. John Recchiuti of Alliance recently found himself "in the spotlight" as part of a faculty series awarded by the American Historical Association.
As the largest historical society in the United States, the organization wants to showcase its talented historians who represent every historical period and geographical area. Recchiuti, professor of history and director of the American Studies Program, attended Columbia University from 1985 to 1992 where he earned his Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
"I was delighted when the AHA contacted me, though I wasn't surprised by the nomination," said Recchiuti. "I've been active with the AHA and in the profession for many years. I served for a few years on an AHA national committee; traveling to Washington, D.C. for those meetings was both demanding and fun."
Recchiuti served as the external evaluator for several of the U.S. Department of Education's Teaching American History (TAH) million-dollar grants. He also conducted U.S. History and pedagogy summertime workshops for the national Council for History Education (NCHE).
Through his work, he was able to travel across the U.S. to talk to teachers and historians in California, Colorado, Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, gaining insight about what is going on in history education throughout the country.
Even after all of his travels he finds Alliance, Ohio to be a great place to call home.
"Mount Union is a terrific place. We have great students, and a wonderful history department. Go Mount!"
Recchiuti has recently been selected by the Fulbright Commission for a Fulbright Specialist award to travel to Pakistan to teach faculty and graduate students in Islamabad elements in American culture, society and history. Because of the turmoil in that country and the U.S. State Department's travel advisories and concerns for safety there, however, Recchiuti is not sure he will be able to undertake the travel.

How dare you compare a bundle of myths to the holy scriptures?
Watching the movie Hawaii (1966) for the first time, I discovered that it had nudity among the young Hawaiian women swimming out into the bay to greet the arriving boats of Christian missionaries. i wonder how those 'christian missionaries felt about that, did they all cover their eyes?? lol it's so silly..One of the better quotes in the movie was the missionary to a native who was teaching a class: QuoteHow dare you compare a bundle of myths to the holy scriptures? that is just funny stuff right there ha ha ha

Salford City Reds half-back Liam Foran has left the club just six-months after arriving in the Super League, but insists that they are heading in the right direction.
Foran, brother of New Zealand international Kieran, struggled to break into Salford's first-team following his move from Manly Sea Eagles at the start of 2013, managing just 17 appearances.
Following the club's recent influx of new recruits, it is understood the player is now surplus to requirements.
Speaking with the Manchester Evening News, he said: "I really wanted to play three years in England but it's not to be.
"To have done so would have been good and what I have experienced has been great and very beneficial.
"It will take a while for Salford to fulfil their ambitions but they are heading in the right direction. I am sure they will get there. They are bringing in some good experienced talent but I have to accept what has happened to me and move on."
Salford's wealthy owner Marwan Koukash has recently signed winger Francis Meli, 34, from St Helens and the 36-year-old Adrian Morley from Warrington, both on a one-year deal.
The revamping of the squad is set to continue with coach Brian Noble understood to be interested in bringing in veteran full-back Paul Wellens from Saints.
Unfortunately, this has meant the end for the 25-year-old Foran, who is now expected to join back up with his former club Manly Sea Eagles.
"I am looking at going back into the NRL - I know I can go well at this level having done so in the past. Manly is a great club to be part of."

May is National Stroke Awareness Month and according to the Iowa Department of Public Health, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in Iowa. Lynn Fisher from Washington County Public Health says a common myth is that a stroke cannot be prevented. She says, however, about 80 percent of strokes can be prevented by working with your health care provider.
Fisher says knowing your blood pressure, stop smoking, knowing your cholesterol level, controlling weight, managing your diet and exercise and limiting alcohol use are some ways to prevent strokes. She adds knowing the signs of a stroke can be extremely helpful in stopping the long-term effects of a stroke.
Any sudden numbness in the face, arms or legs, sudden confusion, difficulty in vision, trouble with walking or dizziness are signs of a possible stroke. Fisher says medical professionals can administer a clot-breaking drug to stop the effects of a stroke if help is sought right away.
For more on stroke prevention, listen to today's Washington Page during the morning and mid-day magazines.

@Chris Hunt: I'm not sure I follow your P.S. objection to conditional comments (CCs).
I use a standard stylesheet which works for real browsers, and a second stylesheet containing IE-specific fixes. The IE-fixup stylesheet is hauled in using a link element inside a CC, to save real browsers the trouble of downloading it.
The CC adds exactly 32 characters (including whitespace) to each page, which is hardly "cluttering", given that the link element necessary to bring in the fixup stylesheet is already 48 characters plus the length of the value of the href attribute. And all my fixes remain in one place.

An Ashby firefighter who was killed in a crash Sunday morning along with her 16-year-old son did not have a valid driver's license, according the state's Registry of Motor Vehicles.
Ashby firefighters Michelle "Shelli" B. Martens and her son, Justin J. Fournier, died in the head-on crash.
Ms. Martens, 36, was a single mother of two and a third-generation volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician for the Ashby Fire Department.
Her Kia Sportage crossed into the path of a pickup truck and crashed near 1191 Ashby Road (Route 31) in Fitchburg around 10:30 a.m.
According to the RMV, Ms. Martens's license had been suspended since Sept. 9, 2012, for failing to pay a citation issued on June 25, 2012, in Fitchburg for a right-of-way intersection violation.
Also, her license was in a non-renewal status for outstanding E-ZPass fines and parking tickets in Somerville, the RMV said.
Justin Fournier had a valid Class D permit, which was issued in Sept., 2012, according to the RMV.
However, according to the RMV driver's manual that cites the rules of driving with a permit, permit operators must be accompanied by a licensed operator who occupies the passenger seat next to them, who is at least 21 years old, holds a valid driver's license from Massachusetts or another state and has at least one year of driving experience.
Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.'s office has not said who was driving at the time of the collision. The crash remains under investigation.
Ashby Fire Chief William T. Seymour Jr. said today the fire department requires firefighters have a driver's license, but it is not routinely checked.
The driver of the Chevrolet Silverado pickup that they collided with also served on the Ashby Fire Department for 15 years. Wayne F. Patenaude, 54, of Ashby, was in stable condition last night at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester awaiting surgery on his right heel, which was crushed in the crash. His arm was also injured.

598 John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans Hospital
4300 West Seventh Street
Little Rock, AR 72205
Map It!
John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans Hospital, in Little Rock, Arkansas, has participated in a Department of Veterans Affairs energy-monitoring program for more than 20 years. The monitoring and reporting showed how Little Rock ranked in comparison with other VA facilities as an energy saver. During the past several years, plans were made and implemented to incorporate energy savings projects into the Little Rock facility using a variety of funding sources.
This 760,000 square foot facility undertook the following projects: replacing outdated ballasts with electronic ones, replacing inefficient lighting with T-8 lamps, replacing a chiller with a high-efficiency unit, replacing heat wheels with improved units, replacing exit lights with low-voltage LED fixtures, and installing a Direct Digital Control energy management system (EMS).
These projects, along with an ongoing program of energy monitoring and adapting HVAC control protocols through the EMS and an active maintenance program, contributed to significant improvements in the facility's energy savings.
"CAVHS is proud to be designated as a top energy performer among hospitals nationwide. Earning the ENERGY STAR for our facility means that our efforts to reduce energy use are helping conserve the nation's energy resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By implementing energy-saving practices and using energy-efficient equipment, we also save money-every month-on our utility bills."

IUCN's Director General, Julia Marton-Lefèvre was received by President Seretse Khama Ian Khama of Botswana recently for a meeting to discuss the country's conservation activities.
During the meeting, Ms Marton-Lefèvre gave an update on IUCN activities in Botswana at both country and transboundary levels. These include providing support to the Okavango Development Management Plan, the Natural Futures Programme, the Zambezi Basin Wetlands Conservation and Resource Utilization Project, and Community-based Natural Resources Management.
The President described his country's strategies for managing natural resources in protected areas, emphasizing that they place communities at the centre of conservation and invited IUCN to continue supporting these efforts.
President Khama asked for IUCN's advice on how the government and the Basarwa people in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve could reach an amicable solution to disputed land rights and resources that is in the interest of both people and nature.
The meeting, joined by IUCN's Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa, Mr Ali Kaka, and the Head of IUCN's South Africa Office, Mr Hastings Chikoko, also explored ways of improving transfrontier elephant habitats and 'corridors' to ensure the migration of elephants to areas that are sparsely populated. President Khama indicated that culling of elephants should be the last option given that that there are other habitats surrounding Botswana that may benefit from increased elephant population.
Botswana has been a State Member of IUCN since 1991. President Khama is a conservation enthusiast and has championed a number of conservation activities in the country. He is the patron of the Kalahari Conservation Society (an IUCN Member) and a board member of Conservation International, also an IUCN Member.

Discovered this guy years ago. Definitely a unique sound and style. I own his first two solo CD's and have had the pleasure of seeing him live on numerous occasions. Always a favourite, his genuine, passionate music has never left my playlist.
My introduction to Jef was hearing this on the TV show "Homicide: Life on the Street", and after a bit of pre-internet sleuthing found out it was JLJ
Reports are coming in from those close to Jef Lee Johnson that the Philadelphia guitarist has passed away. The cause of his death has not been revealed, nor has his age, though he was likely 53 or 54.
Johnson's career spans both numerous decades and genres, as he played with everyone from Esperanza Spalding to Questlove and The Roots. An article on Johnson in the Philadelphia City Paper notes that he actually learned his guitar chops by playing with jazz giant McCoy Tyner, a fellow Philly native and one of the greatest pianists of our time.
Johnson was also an essential member of The Soultronics, a massive super-group featuring members of the Roots, keyboardist James Poyser, bassist Pino Palladino, and others. This connection led to him working on such classics as Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun and Common's Like Water for Chocolate. Johnson also toured extensively as a member of D'Angelo's backing band.
RIP - Musicians are not to be compared, this is music.. Art..
Maybe you need to research humanity. Humans empathize with loss of life. THE POINT IS, YOU DON'T MESS WITH SOMEONE THAT JUST DIED.
I know exactly who Gary Moore is. I'm positive I know far more about musician's than you, and probably know more professional musicians. THAT'S NOT THE POINT EITHER DOUC-E....
Man died, let him RIP... grow up.
Any early word on whether he suffered or not?

What is PEMF therapy?
PEMF is a revolutionary health technique that utilizes the power of pulsed magnetic fields that have been found to signal healing. Nikoli Tesla first discovered the use of electromagnetic fields sometime back in the 19th century. Medical scientists in the early 20s employed this energy generating power to promote bone healing in fractured bones. European doctors began using the same type of therapy to help patients with many sorts of disorders including cancer, strokes, Parkinsons, as well as for chronic pain. It has been discovered and reported by Columbia University in NYC that Pulsed Magnetic Therapy can be used for nerve regeneration.
How Exactly Does It Work?
Pulsed magnetic fields are created by a plasma generator. This device pulses the fields at the same frequency as the Earths natural magnetic field. This is important as our body is sensitive to frequencies. When it is pulsed properly and at the correct strength, PEMF has been shown to recreate the effects of normal body functions found in wound healing, bone and soft tissue regeneration, as well as in nerve regeneration. It has also been reported to help with autophagy which is the bodies process of hauling away the old dead and dying cells are replacing them with fresh healthy cells.
*Who benefits from PEMF therapy?
In todays world, we live in a very toxic environment. In fact, it is said we eat/breathe/drink 82,000 toxins. These toxins have a harmful effect of altering our bodys DNA and the internal environment in which our cells live and multiply. By altering that environment, many people suffer from early effects of aging and cell death. The result is chronic health conditions.PEMF stimulates autophagy, a process of removing those sick and dying cells. Therefore, it can be said that really, all of us on the planet will benefit from PEMF. Who will notice the effects of PEMF the most? Well, of course, the people who have the most illness.
We cannot say cure/treat when we talk about PEMF. PEMF merely improves the quality of life and has been shown in many research projects at major universities to help people with strokes/Parkinson's/chronic pain/degenerative health conditions/broken bones that wont heal/depression and non healing open wounds.

June 21, 2011 > Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Supports One Woman's Road to Recovery
Wound Care Treatment Promotes the Body's Own Healing Powers
Last October, 27-year-old Risa Moreno, a psychology student at Cal State East Bay, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Because her mother and other close female relatives also had developed breast cancer, she chose to have a double mastectomy on December 7, followed by breast reconstruction using skin and other tissue from her lower abdomen. The surgery went well, but a non-healing wound developed afterward at the skin- and tissue-extraction site on her abdomen. Multiple attempts to treat the wound were unsuccessful, and it finally grew by late January to about the size of her fist."Apparently, the wound developed because I didn't have a good blood supply at the site on my abdomen," she says. "I needed to have the wound healed before I could start follow-up chemotherapy, so my doctor referred me for wound care treatments, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy."Moreno's doctor was plastic surgeon Prasad Kilaru, M.D., Medical Director of the Washington Center for Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine. The 6-year-old center had just moved in January to its new facility at 39141 Civic Center Drive in Fremont, and introduced hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in February. "Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a new tool in our ability to provide the best possible wound care when it is used in conjunction with other treatments," says Dr. Kilaru. "It can make a big difference in chronic wound patients who have a compromised blood supply.""Hyperbaric" means "increased pressure," so in HBOT, the patient is enclosed inside a pressurized clear acrylic chamber, breathing 100 percent pure oxygen. The air pressure in the chamber is twice the normal atmospheric pressure at sea level. In addition, the air we normally breathe contains only 21 percent oxygen, as opposed to the 100 percent oxygen in the hyperbaric chamber. "The blood's hemoglobin and plasma cells carry oxygen throughout the body," Dr. Kilaru explains. "The body's tissues need an adequate supply of oxygen to function, and injured body tissues need even more oxygen to heal. Oxygen stimulates the immune system to kill bacteria and releases the body's own 'growth factors' that promote healing. Oxygen also stimulates the development of new blood vessels into the wound area. The amount of oxygen the blood carries can be increased dramatically - up to 10 times as much - by using hyperbaric oxygen therapy."The hyperbaric chamber has a comfortable bed along with a clear ceiling and sides to allow patients to see their surroundings in an attractive treatment room equipped with TVs and video players. "Our hyperbaric oxygen therapy patients come in for about two hours, five days a week, for anywhere from four to ten weeks, depending on their diagnosis and the complexity of their wounds," says Chungmei Shih, R.N., Clinical Nurse Specialist. "Patients say that when they are in the chamber, it feels similar to scuba diving with the increase of air pressure. They may need to yawn to equalize the air pressure in their ears - much like when taking off or landing in an airplane - but no one has complained of it being uncomfortable. Many patients even drift off to sleep."Dr. Kilaru notes that HBOT may be appropriate as an additional wound care treatment for patients with a variety of chronic wound conditions, such as:* Diabetic ulcers (open sores that will not heal or keep returning) or other wounds caused by artery blockage, nerve damage or improper functioning of valves in the veins. These ulcers most commonly occur in the lower legs and feet, and diabetic ulcers are the most common foot injuries leading to amputation.* Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis (CRO) - a persistent infection of bone and bone marrow that can result from a chronic wound. CRO also may be "ischemic," meaning there is a decrease in the blood supply cause by constriction or obstruction of the blood vessels.* Wounds resulting from complications of radiation therapy for cancer, including bone that has been damaged (osteoradionecrosis) or soft tissue injury, for instance to the bowel or bladder (soft tissue radionecrosis).* Skin grafts or "flaps" (such as TRAM flaps used in breast reconstruction) that fail to heal well because of poor blood flow and lack of oxygenation. Skin grafts are transfers of tissue without a native blood supply, and they must redevelop a blood supply to survive. Flaps bring their blood supply with them, but that blood supply can be compromised by infections, blockages in the veins or arteries, or injuries to the affected area.Although most of the HBOT patients seen at the Center for Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine are over age 50, the treatment can be beneficial for much younger patients, too, as in the case of Ms. Moreno."I had never heard of hyperbaric oxygen therapy before going to the wound clinic," she notes. "They explained it to me in terms I could understand, and it just made good sense. The actual treatments were not uncomfortable. The pressure feels like you're under water, and your ears 'pop' like you're riding in a plane, but that's about it. I brought in my own DVDs to watch while laying there during the two-hour treatments."Ms. Moreno completed 30 HBOT treatments over six weeks and grew fond of the staff providing her care. "The team there is awesome, including the nurses and the Safety Officer, Paul Brown, who operates the equipment and always stays within view of patients who are in treatment," she says. "We called Paul the 'dive master,' because he had been a Navy diver and knew all about the effects of being in a pressurized environment through his scuba diving experience."In addition to Dr. Kilaru, the Safety Officer and nurses who are specially trained in wound care, the "team" at the Center for Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine includes a multidisciplinary group of physicians - vascular surgeons, infectious disease specialists, general surgeons and a podiatrist. They also work closely with patients' other primary care and specialist physicians to provide exceptional continuity of care and positive outcomes.As for the outcome of Ms. Moreno's HBOT treatments, she attests: "It took about three weeks before I really noticed a difference in the wound, partly because I couldn't see it well due to its location. The wound is completely healed now, and I was recently able to start my follow-up chemotherapy for the breast cancer. I should be done with everything in July."For people who might be considering hyperbaric oxygen therapy, I'd like to let them know it's not as exotic or scary as you might think," she adds. "Just bring lots of DVDs to watch!"Learn More OnlineTo learn more about the services provided at the Washington Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine, visit www.whhs.com/wound or call (888) 449-6863. The center is located at 39141 Civic Center Drive in Fremont and is the only facility in the Tri-City area to offer HBOT. It also is the only local facility that works in partnership with Diversified Clinical Services, the largest provider of wound care services in the country.

Happy with the results as of now. Of course the real quality of this class will not be known until 2013 or 2014 but, ESPN ranks the Gators class at #2 Rivals has us #3, so that is great coming off an 11 win season. As I have said before, Will Muschamp's legacy will begin to be defined by how his players, in his system perform. And entering his third year, we will start to see how good his recruiting and coaching styles meld. We Gator fans know we always have talent, and we know what a great coach (Spurrier, Meyer) can do with that. We also know what mediocre coaches can do, (Zook). So, soon we will be able to see where Muschamp can take the Gators
ESPN, ranks the top ten classes like this
#1 Alabama
#2 Florida
#3 Ohio State
#4 Notre Dame
#5 the shocker Ole Miss
#6 Michigan
#8 Texas A&M
#10 Georgia
#1 Alabama
#2 Ohio State
#3 Florida
#4 Notre Dame
#6 Michigan
#7 Ole Miss
#8 Texas A & M
#10 Auburn
Man I miss football already!

BATON ROUGE, La. -- A strong pitching performance from Aaron Nola and 10 consecutive two-out runs over the fifth, sixth and seventh innings broke open a 1-1 game and led No. 2 LSU to an 11-1 series-opening win over No. 7 Kentucky, in front of 10,886 on a gorgeous Friday night at Alex Box Stadium.
Kentucky (22-7, 6-4 Southeastern Conference) got to Nola in the top of the fifth inning, breaking up his no-hitter with a one-run rally to tie the game at 1-1. LSU took advantage of a leadoff hit batter, a walk and a two-base error, plating four two-out runs in the bottom of the fifth, later getting three two-out runs in the sixth inning and three two-out runs in the seventh.
LSU (28-3, 9-1 SEC) got a dominating pitching performance from Aaron Nola (5-0), who carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning and did not allow a hit till Matt Reida singled with one out as the No. 8 hitter the second time through the UK order. Nola worked seven innings, allowing just four UK hits and one run, walking three and striking out seven. He got strong defense from his club throughout the game, starting with Mark Laird's rob of an A.J. Reed home run in right-centerfield in the first inning.
Reed (2-4) suffered the loss in five innings pitched, allowing eight hits and five runs – four earned – walking two and striking out three. Freshman Dylan Dwyer came on in the sixth with UK trying to save its bullpen for Saturday and Sunday. The lefty worked 1.2 innings, allowing five hits and six runs – four earned – walking two. Freshman righty Zach Strecker worked 1.1 shutout innings, allowing a hit and striking out a career-high three.
The Wildcats got hits from Cousino, Reida, Jeff Boehm, Micheal Thomas and Max Kuhn, with Cousino driving in UK's run of the game.
After Nola exited with an 11-1 lead in the eighth, LSU turned to Will LaMarche, who tossed two shutout frames to finish the game.
The series will resume on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Alex Box Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on the UK IMG Radio Network, with the Voice of UK Baseball, Neil Price, calling the action. Fans in Central Kentucky can hear the game live on WLAP 630-AM, in Louisville on WKJK 1080-AM and online at UKathletics.com. UK will send senior lefty Jerad Grundy (5-2, 2.15 ERA) to the mound to face LSU star junior right-hander Ryan Eades (6-0, 1.35 ERA).
The Tigers, off to their best start to a season since 1986, got on the board in the bottom of the third inning, as Ty Ross singled through the right side to leadoff and Sean McMullen singled to centerfield to follow. After Mark Laird moved the pair into scoring position with a well-placed groundout, Alex Bergman – the SEC's leading hitter – hung a sacrifice fly to centerfield to score Ross.
UK answered to even up the game in the top of the fifth, as Reida singled with one out to break up Nola's no-hit bid. After Thomas was hit by a pitch, Cousino scored Reida with a single into right-centerfield.
LSU answered immediately to take a 3-1 lead, as McMullen was hit to leadoff the inning, with Laird replacing him at first on a bunt. After a lineout to leftfield, Raph Rhymes singled off the diving glove of Paul McConkey at third base. UK then walked NCAA RBI leader Mason Katz to load the bases to bring up Christian Ibarra. Reed got Ibarra to ground a slow roller down the third base line, with McMullen scoring on the hit and Rhymes coming home to score after a misfire on the throw to first base. JaCoby Jones then smacked a 2-2 pitch from Reed for a two-RBI single through the left side.
The Tigers added to their lead in the sixth inning, as Ross singled to leadoff, getting replaced on a fielder's choice at first base by Laird. After a Bergman walk, Dwyer got Rhymes to hit a comebacker to the mound with two outs but after Dwyer fielded the ball it was called a balk by the second base umpire. Rhymes then singled to score one run and Katz followed with a two-RBI single.
LSU got more in the seventh, as Jones singled to leadoff and after a balk and a grounder back to the pitcher, scored on a sacrifice fly to rightfield. Laird then reached on a fielding error up the middle, allowing one run to score. Bergman then doubled to score another run and make it 11-1 LSU.
GAME NOTES: Junior second baseman J.T. Riddle made his team-leading 95th consecutive start … Zac Zellers laid down his fourth sac bunt of the year in the fourth inning … Austin Cousino stole his ninth base of the year in the fourth … Riddle stole his fifth base of the year in the fourth … Riddle has now reached base safely in 15 consecutive games … Micheal Thomas was hit by his 13th pitch of the year … Thomas had a two-strike hit (eighth of 2013) and a two-out hit (third) in the seventh inning … Zac Zellers was hit by his seventh pitch in the seventh inning … Freshman Casey Schroeder made his SEC debut … Zach Arnold made his SEC debut … Kentucky drops to 3-3 in its all gray uniform combination … UK is now 5-5 when its opponent scores first … UK is 3-4 in night games in 2013 and 5-3 on Friday's … UK falls to 3-2 against top-25 teams and 1-1 vs. top-10 foes … LSU extended its lead in the series to 44-25-1, including a 24-7-1 mark all-time in Baton Rouge.

A car bomb exploded outside a Shiite mosque in Baghdad Friday where worshippers were celebrating a major Muslim holiday, killing at least 14 people and wounding 40, police and hospital officials said, the country's latest violence in the lead-up to this month's elections.
The car blew up outside the al-Taf mosque in the capital's southwest, where Shiites were celebrating one of Islam's most important holidays, Eid al-Adha, or Feast of Sacrifice. The feast coincides with the yearly pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
Attacks on Shiites have increased in the run-up to Iraq's Jan. 30 parliamentary and provincial elections. Friday's blast was the second outside a Shiite mosque in the capital this week and it came a day after a chief terror leader in Iraq berated Shiites in an Internet audio recording that appeared aimed at sowing division in the country.
Iraq's Shiites — a community that was oppressed for decades — strongly supports the vote, believing it will propel them to a position of influence equal to their standing as the country's majority group. They make up about 60 percent of the Iraq's 26 million people.
But militants among the Sunni Arab minority — which lost privilege when their patron Saddam Hussein was toppled — have vowed to stop the vote. Some Sunni clerics and politicians have called for a boycott of the vote, saying violence in Sunni areas will keep people from the polls and skew the outcome of the balloting against them.
An official at Baghdad's al-Yarmouk Hospital said the blast at the mosque killed at least 14 people and wounded 40 others.
In a separate attack, a dozen gunmen stormed a police station west of Baghdad on Friday, placed explosives inside and blew it up, said Iraqi police Capt. Abdullah al-Hiti. The station in Hit, some 100 miles west of Baghdad, was nearly empty because of the Muslim holiday; no one was hurt.
In a new Internet audio recording purportedly from Iraq's most feared terror leader, Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the speaker denounced Iraqi Shiites for fighting alongside U.S. troops.
Al-Zarqawi, the leader of Iraq's al-Qaida affiliate, ridiculed Iraq's most prominent Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, and berated Shiites for fighting alongside American troops against their Sunni countrymen in Fallujah in November.
"They broke into the safe houses of God," the speaker said of Shiites. "They defiled them and they hung the photos of their Satan, al-Sistani, on the walls and they spitefully wrote: 'Today, your land; tomorrow it will be your honor.'"
The authenticity of the tape could not be verified.
Friday's car bomb exploded as worshippers were leaving the building, a witness said. The blast left several cars in flames and showered the area with charred debris.
At al-Yarmouk Hospital, dozens of weeping men and women franticly searched for news about loved ones feared caught up in the bombing.
A distraught man sat beside his dead 14-year-old son, covered with a sheet, and cried out, "I had breakfast with him this morning. I told him, 'Let's go to your grandfather,' but he insisted on going for prayers first."
A woman dressed in a black cloak, or abaya, fainted as she identified the body of her son in the hospital's morgue. She was carried away by relatives.
In the 90-minute message posted on the Web Thursday, al-Zarqawi called on his followers to show patience and prepare for a long struggle against the Americans, promising that "ferocious wars ... take their time" but that victory was assured.
Al-Zarqawi's al-Qaida in Iraq group was responsible for kidnapping and beheading several foreigners, including Americans, before the fall of their Fallujah base. The United States has offered a $25 million reward for al-Zarqawi's capture or death — the same amount as for Osama bin Laden.
A U.S. soldier was killed Friday during a pre-dawn raid north of Baghdad, the military said.
The soldier from Army's 1st Infantry Division, whose name was withheld pending notification of his family, was killed in an operation to kill or capture members of an insurgent bomb-making cell in the town of Ad Duluiyah, the military said in a statement.
One Iraqi was killed in the raid and another soldier was wounded.
Near the central city of Samarra, saboteurs set an oil pipeline on fire, police said. The pipeline, some 10 miles south of the city, links the northern Beiji refinery to Baghdad's Dora refinery.
The pipeline was attacked in the past by insurgents who've taken aim at the oil industry to deprive the government of badly needed reconstruction money.
In a separate statement, al-Zarqawi's group claimed responsibility for a Thursday explosion that injured five British soldiers and an undetermined number of Iraqis at a supply base in southern Iraq outside the port city of Basra. A Web statement said the attack was a suicide operation in retaliation for alleged British abuse of Iraqi prisoners.
The authenticity of that statement also could not be determined, and the British military gave no reason for the blast. Three British soldiers are on trial at a British base in Germany for allegedly abusing Iraqi prisoners in May 2003.

Journal KshGoddess's Journal: Get off my Lawn! 6
I feel old, guys. I feel like the old man sysadmin with the Unix Beard and suspenders (which I continually think of as a halloween costume, less and less ironically). My coworkers are all... what would have been slashdotters had they not found digg or reddit, or whatever it was.
These are "kids" who grew up with linux. (They're all 30.) But they don't have the base knowledge that I expect them to have. They only know bash. They mostly know Ubuntu and Red Hat, although the one 'sysadmin' type dude knows virtual machines with Xen, and seems to know what he's doing most of the time.
I figured I'd pick up python, because I ordered a raspberry pi, and it seems that's what all the cool kids are doing. (I get along fine with shell and perl for most of whatever it is I do around here.) The advice I got from one of my coworkers was that I should "uninstall the IDE." IDE? For python? Seriously? It's interpreted, you use a goddamned text editor. Apparently that's one of the 'tips' from "Learning Python the Hard Way." (I'm reading Programming Python on my nook, FWIW. And I'm already yelling at it, as the examples are how to create a database from your filesystem with pickle, because seriously, if you're managing peoples' salaries, you don't want your data in flat files, or necessarily in a readable format to your other employees. But that's my cross to bear.)
When I got home, I started ranting about that to the Benny. Frothing at the mouth kind of ranting like I used to be able to do. Who uses a goddamned IDE for an interpreted language!? There's no "I" for your "DE". When you're writing C, in a complex environment, sure. When you're writing Obj-C for your iPhone app of the year, fine. You have libraries, you have interdependencies, you have reasons to have a debugger and a compiler. Python is interpreted. There's no need for these things.
Goddamned kids these days. In my day, we had emacs and vi, and flamewars about both. There was no IDE for writing shell scripts. There was no IDE for perl. There wasn't even really decent tab completion! We used 'more' instead of 'less'. We knew how to pipe things to awk and grep. We used which instead of locate. And we liked it, damnit!
I'm running OpenNMS on Ubuntu at work, using vi (technically vim) to edit all the xml files and java.properties style files. I don't run KDE, Gnome, or any other desktop on the damned thing. It's a server, for pete's sake. Not that it's lacking RAM or CPU for me to run that, but because I'm old, and old-school. Some of my coworkers (and I use that word loosely, as I'm a department of one) run linux on the desktop

Ahem. That's "Shall we play a game?" to you, sir.
Turn in your geek card. As mistakes go, that's a WOPR. (Slashdot is a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.)
Why the heck isn't the Apple
I heard it was such a flop that Apple became kind of superstitious about their naming conventions and refused to name any subsequent products beyond "][". They had [apple-history.com] the Apple I, Apple ][, and Apple ][+ before the Apple
Even now, they have dumped numbering their product lines altogether, despite the constant upgrades in hardware configurations. The only exception is the processor suffix (G4 or G5), which doesn't really indicate the product generation anyway. This applies to iPods as well.
Personally, I always loved that color and thought it was the most stylish one of the lot.
"she comes in colors everywhere..."
(For every Cube Apple produces, Microsoft is happy to come back with a Windows ME or MS Passport. At least with Apple, the flagship OS doesn't kick you in the jewels every time you sit down to use it. ^_^)
For those who don't remember, the Cubes would occasionally develop these "cracks," for lack of a better term. IIRC, owners started to see hairline fissures slowly appear underneath the ploycarbonate surface.
I don't know whether you're serious or not?! You've used "IIRC" (which you don't) so I actually think you are being serious!
As a cube owner, I've described what the cracks actually were in a post above [slashdot.org].
I have to say, it's very funny what some people can be made to believe.

Top 10 Apple Flops
Though Apple computer is known for some of the computing and technology industry's most notable innovations, its not as if the company hasn't also taken its lumps. Thomas Hormby submitted the following editorial contribution to osOpinion/osViews, which supplies us with his top ten list of Apple's (and some of associated partners) most significant flops throughout the company's history.
[Image] [osviews.com] Apple and its compatriots have been highly innovative. These companies have proven that even if their ideas are well implemented, they cannot always promote them correctly. Other times, a good idea is implemented poorly, and despite their best marketing effort, the product fails. I have compiled 10 of the most notable products released by Apple or its comrades that have failed.
Apple Pippin
[Image] [osviews.com] Introduced under Spindler's rule as CEO, the Pippin should have won Apple a position in the console market, one Apple had yet to penetrate. Apple's goal was to make the Pippin a multimedia machine, capable of reading CD ROMs, surfing the internet and to play games.
Apple had decided to share the Pippin's source code with developers for a licensing fee. The developers had a lot more flexibility, and would be able to redesign the Pippin's software to make it attractive for any number of markets. However, Apple was able to recruit only 4500 developers willing to pay the licensing fee.
The operating system of the Pippin was based on the MacOS and with a PowerPC 603 running at 66 MHZ, the Pippin used a similar processor to desktop macs at that time. Being a multimedia machine, the Pippin was capable of producing CD quality sound, and displaying up to thousands of colors. With the powerful Power PC processor, Apple thrashed Nintendo and Sega consoles performance wise, but never won a sizable portion of the market.
[Image] [osviews.com] The concept behind OpenDoc is an intuitive one. Many elements of applications are redundant (calculators, multimedia players, spreadsheets). Why not 'cut them up' and use different modules interchangeably. Each file would then make calls on these different modules as needed. With OpenDoc, if a user wished to create a word processor document that includes a spreadsheet, the user would not have to copy it over as a table, or use a gimped up version included with the word processor. Instead, they could call up the ClarisWorks for OpenDoc Spreadsheet module and have a full-blown spreadsheet in the middle of a word processing document.
OpenDoc development started in 1995 in collaboration with Novell, IBM and Apple. In 1997, Apple integrated OpenDoc into its core strategy, releasing several OpenDoc apps, and including the technology in Mac OS 7.6. At the same time, the technology was being developed for Windows and UNIX. The companies created the Ci Labs which would authorize OpenDoc components that proved to be compatible as Live Objects.
In accordance to Apple's vision, it became possible with the OpenDoc compatible version of ClarisWorks to create a document that integrated various OpenDoc modules. The example below has an integrated Video Conferencing session with QuickTime, a browser frame from CyberDog and a graph from another OpenDoc module.
Since 1996, Novell has ceased Windows development of OpenDoc, forcing IBM to take on responsibilities for the platform at the same time they continued development on their AIX (UNIX from IBM). The two versions both evolved and were mature commercial products in 1997. There were problems for OpenDoc, however. At the same time, Microsoft released ann updated version of OLE, and released ActiveX, that closely mimicked the OpenDoc principles. OpenDoc was embraced by major OS developers, but it had

I never really saw what advantage ADB had over the PS/2 mouse/keyboard interface
ADB devices can daisy-chain up to 20 devices, though usually after 6 power can become an issue. ADB actually provides a usable amount of power, like USB does only not as much. It's usable for input devices other than keyboards and mice (such as graphic tablets) because it communicates faster than PS/2.

At Harvard-Westlake, a private high school in the shadows of the Hollywood Hills, players from the basketball team heaped praise on the alumnus who this week became the first active NBA player to announce that he is gay.
"We have a lot of pride in him," Michael Sheng, 17, said of Jason Collins. "He's a hero, an icon for what he has done."
Support from basketball players was more tentative at Susan Miller Dorsey High, a school in the heart of Los Angeles' black community that has long been an athletic powerhouse, producing numerous NFL and NBA players.
"Sure, it's a sign of progress," said Myles Thomas, 18. "But is he an icon? Nah. Not to us."
Collins' decision to come out this week has reverberated across the country. The initial reaction was overwhelmingly positive, though dissent has emerged on the Internet, talk radio and other media.

WASC Senior Commission endorses Special Visit team report highlighting significant improvement in UH governanceUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Kristen Bonilla, (808) 956-5039
External Affairs & University Relations
ALAMEDA, Calif. — At its meeting on February 17-18, 2005, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges' Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities (WASC Senior) endorsed a report prepared by a Special Visit team to the University of Hawaiʻi's System Office on December 1-3, 2004 that found significant improvement in the overall operations of governance processes at the University since March, 2004.
In an action letter sent to the University following its meeting, the Commission commended the UH Board of Regents and the Office of the President for achieving several important milestones which occurred in a short time since the leadership transition last June.
The milestones noted included: the restoration of trust between the Office of the President and the UH Board of Regents; increased efforts by the Board to streamline its meetings and committes; efforts to simplify the System administration and redesign some positions; and the strategic planning exercise, followed by the "stocktaking" process to identify a system-wide budget with priorities established by each campus.
"The advice we have received from the WASC Senior Commission and from its Special Visit team has been invaluable in guiding our process for continued improvement at the University. We're grateful that the Commission has recognized and validated steps the Board of Regents and I have taken to establish more effective governance." said University of Hawaiʻi Interim President David McClain"
"We are pleased that the Commission has recognized the progress made and are committed to making changes that will continually improve University relations both internally and externally," said UH BOR Chair Patricia Lee.
In addition to the endorsed report, the Commission highlighted the following areas for continued efforts by the System: sustaining the improved working relationship between the Board of Regents and the Office of the President; continuing to define the organization and role of the System office and the relationship of the campuses to one another and to the President; addressing the reorganization request of the Mānoa campus; and defining the organizational scope of the Kakaʻako location where the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) will be sited.
The Mānoa campus reorganization and defining the scope of JABSOM were taken up at the Board of Regents' February meeting, with the UH Mānoa reorganization plan receiving approval from the Board and an update presented on the medical school's new facilities.
The Commission requested a brief follow-up visit to the System Office in November 2005, coincident with a Special Visit to UH Mānoa aimed at assessing whether progress already made there has been continuing. WASC also requested a special visit to the System Office in Spring 2007, following the appointment of a permanent university president.

DES MOINES (AP) — A measure that would put tougher safety restrictions on windows in new buildings in Iowa in an effort to prevent children from falling out appears dead after the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Wednesday that he will block it.
The Senate had approved the bill, and a House subcommittee passed it on Monday. But Republican Rep. Chip Baltimore of Boone announced Wednesday that he wouldn't let the full Judiciary Committee take up the proposal.
The bill would have modified safety requirements so windows installed in new or renovated multifamily dwellings, hotels and motels had to adopt window fall prevention devices meeting industry guidelines.
In a statement Wednesday, Baltimore said he hadn't seen sufficient data proving the bill would be the way to prevent such accidents.
The bill stemmed from a 2011 accident in which 4-year-old Hannah Geneser of Des Moines died from severe head trauma after falling out a third-story window. Geneser was at her aunt and uncle's home for a cousin's birthday party when she fell from a playroom window. Des Moines police said the girl was likely pushing or leaning on the screen of the open window, which gave way.
"I sympathize with the Geneser family and understand their desire to see this bill move forward. ... I am willing to continue to work with the family to determine the best course of action in the future," Baltimore's statement said.
Baltimore said he had a "productive conversation" with Geneser's father Wednesday morning but would not provide details on what they discussed.
Senate bill sponsor Janet Petersen, D-Des Moines, said Wednesday she was disappointed about Baltimore's decision.
"This was a very narrow bill," she said, adding she was hopeful the House would bring it up again next session.

A MASKELL medallist has come under fire on an anti-discrimination website after he made misogynistic comments via Facebook threatening to "skull drag" a girl's "head thru glass".
The behaviour of former Warrnambool footballer Rhys Raymond was highlighted by TheAntiBogan, a blog dedicated to republishing "hate-filled diatribes" from "racists, sexists, and homophobes" in the hopes they will "realise that there were actually real-life consequences" to their discriminatory comments.
Raymond, a joint winner of the 2011 Maskell Medal who now plays for Geelong West St Peter's, has been reprimanded by his club, which issues every footballer with a handbook on appropriate behaviour on social media.
According to TheAntiBogan site, Raymond's insults were initially directed at a girl who posted "a photo of herself in a bikini to Facebook (which girl hasn't?) in response to being verbally abused by a car full of boys driving past the beach — one boy in particular screamed obscenities and implied that she was overweight".
Raymond commented on her photo, saying: "You attention seeking whore get over it you rat (sic)" and complained about people "clogging up my news feed with fat bitches in bikinis".
When some of the girl's friends hit back at Raymond, he responded by referring to them as "either a meth baby or your mum was a rape victim of chopper Reid (sic)" and saying that he would wear a pair of speedos "when I'm skull dragging your head thru glass ... ".
An administrator of TheAntiBogan blog, Ed, said it was the "skull dragging" comment that had alarmed them when they were tipped off to it by a reader.
"Basically it's a direct threat of violence, whether you take it seriously or not," Ed said.
He said he and his fellow administrators had worked on the site together for a few years, united by "a common hatred of racial, misogynistic and homophobic vilification".
"Often we tried to get things taken off Facebook, but they're very slow to act on these things," he said.
"A lot of people were saying we're trying to censor freedom of speech, so we thought we'd flip that around and go 'OK, we'll republish their comments for everyone to see'.
"They're not liking it, that's for sure."
Meanwhile, Geelong West St Peter's Sports Club president Danny O'Leary said the behaviour of Raymond was completely unacceptable.
"As a club, we are extremely disappointed that a member of our club would attempt to smear or make derogatory or inappropriate comments about another person, either verbally or through any means," O'Leary said in a written statement.
"We work extremely hard in educating our young people in developing in life to be good role models.
"We have spoken briefly to the player concerned, and he is extremely embarrassed and disgusted by his own actions, and insists this is not a reflection of his view on women. We will sit down with this player at the appropriate time and discuss further the education process we have in place and address this accordingly.
"GWSP are a loyal and family-orientated club that has seen junior participation in both football and netball increase dramatically over the past years, which is as result of the family values that we hold so high, and as a club will not tolerate any forms of cyber-bullying/trolling."
Raymond did not answer The Standard's calls.
It is unknown whether the victims have reported the matter to police.

BOWIE, Md. (AP) — Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler is scheduled to talk about a plan to create jobs.
Gansler, who is running in the Democratic primary for governor, is taking his plan to Prince George's County on Wednesday. He is scheduled to hold a roundtable discussion with business owners and workers at Jason's Family Barber Shop in Bowie.
Gansler announced a 30-point plan aimed at creating jobs in the state last week. One of the top proposals includes helping employees save for their own education and retraining through savings accounts. Another would create a program that enables people to get temporary work that involves job training with a potential employer.

Framework: DE011 – de011_v03w_horizontal
Use these on a dark background.
Part of series: DE011 Design Element 011 – Photo/Icon Frame
Series Keywords: flourish, picture frame, icon frame, photograph frame/ photo frame, bullet alternative, transparent frame
These elements are nice little design flourishes.They can be used as a design element on a slide or as a snazzy way to structure bulleted text. The design element used in the series example is backed by a photograph and has strong visual appeal.This example was produced entirely in PowerPoint – even making the rectangular photo an oval (be sure to refer to the tutorial for the how-to). In addition to the oval, there are also three other shapes in this series for you to use: horizontally oriented rectangle, a triangle, and a hexagon.The ovals and rectangles are perfect for use with photos, and the triangles and hexagons are more for icons and numbers.
There is no downloadable animated example for this series. Since it is a design element, which can also be used as a bullet alternative layout, simple reveals are all that are needed.
Each of these design elements have been developed two ways: one for a light background and one for a dark background. The thumbnail for each will help guide your selections. Be aware, however, that the PowerPoint downloads will have both the horizontal and vertical versions of the design element you select. We do this to help promote consistency in your presentations. We like consistency.

Thanksgiving is this Thursday and it's important to keep fire safety in mind as well as food safety. According to the National Fire Prevention Association Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires nationally, cooking fires make up about 40% of home fires overall. The meal can be a big ordeal, and often times there are many cooks in the kitchen which can be a fire hazard. Pella Fire Chief Doug Van Gorkum says that it is important to be prepared with fire prevention equipment. He told KNIA/KRLS News that the best way to put out a grease fire on a stove top is to cover it completely with a soaking wet towel.
