GREENSBORO, N.C. - Guilford College Director of Athletics Tom Palombo announced the hiring of Sarah Berheide as the Quakers' head women's lacrosse coach Tuesday. Berheide replaces Matthew Grosso, who resigned in May after eight seasons to accept the head women's lacrosse post at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.
Berheide becomes Guilford's 10th head women's lacrosse coach after spending the last three years at Bard (N.Y) College. She moved the Raptors' women's lacrosse program from a club team to varsity status in 2010. Bard improved from a one-win campaign its inaugural season to a five-win season last spring. A bright spot from the 2012 team was freshman Joanna Regan, who became Bard's first All-Liberty League honoree after leading the league in ground balls and caused turnovers per game. Berheide also served as an assistant athletics director at Bard with oversight of the department's front desk and six club teams. She also coached the Nor'easter Lacrosse Club Team for three seasons.
Before coaching at Bard, Berheide served an assistant coach, first at Siena College, and then at Trinity College (Conn.), where she earned her master's degree in American studies. She helped Trinity reach the second round of the 2008 NCAA Division III Women's Lacrosse playoffs and also assisted Bantams' field hockey team.
Berheide graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in women's studies from Skidmore College in 2006. She earned All-America recognition in both lacrosse and field hockey and was named to the 2005-06 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® College Division Women's At-Large Second Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Berheide won a combined four all-region and six all-conference awards. As a lacrosse goalie, she set every major program record, including goals against average (7.01) and save percentage (.594). As a field hockey defender, she anchored a unit that played in three NCAA Tournaments. The former Saratoga Springs (N.Y.) High School standout won Skidmore's Senior Athlete Award, the Tim Brown Scholar Athlete and the New York State Women's Collegiate Athletic Association Scholar-Athlete Awards.
Berheide will marry Jonathan Lamphier Sept. 1. The couple will relocate from New York to Greensboro where Berheide inherits 12 letterwinners from Guilford's record-setting 2012 unit. The Quakers expect to return six starters and four all-conference performers from last year's 11-7 team.

How to Treat High Blood Pressure
Veterinarian Reviewed on January 13, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
How to Treat High Blood Pressure
Hypertension is a chronic illness that affects more and more adults year after year. It is a condition in which their blood pressure readings are above 140/90 mm/Hg. In hypertension, the heart has difficulty in pumping blood against a high pressure which may be due to a blockage, narrowing of the arteries and veins or due to metabolic and hormonal disorders.
Hypertension is diagnosed using a sphygmomanometer with readings taken at least one week apart. If you have an elevated blood pressure reading for more than 2 weeks at a time, consult a doctor at once for diagnosis, management and treatment of high blood pressure.
Causes of High Blood Pressure
There are 2 main types of hypertension: primary and secondary.
Primary hypertension is high blood pressure without any obvious medical cause. This can be due to stress, increased physical activity, smoking, abusing alcoholic beverages, taking prescription medication that can increase blood pressure readings, vitamin and mineral deficiencies and many other factors.
Secondary hypertension on the other hand is high blood pressure that is due to an identifiable medical condition such as kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, tumors, pregnancy and the chronic use of medications that can cause hypertension. The use of illegal drugs can also cause high blood pressure as well.
Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
A reading of 140/90 mm/Hg within a 2 to 3 week period is a symptom of high blood pressure. Other symptoms are headaches, drowsiness, pain at the nape of the neck, lightheadedness, confusion, vision changes, nausea and vomiting. In secondary hypertension, high blood pressure is a determining symptom for a medical illness.
Treatments of High Blood Pressure
Initially, a person who has high blood pressure must be advised to rest and discontinue any type of physical activity. Make the person lie down with his head elevated to improve his blood pressure. If he is taking medications for hypertension, administer the medication and closely follow up on his condition. Medical consult should also be taken if a person develops severe symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness and especially if medication is not able to reduce the high blood pressure.
Prescription medications to reduce blood pressure or antihypertensive drugs are the most common medications prescribed by doctors today. There are several classes of medications for high blood pressure such as ACE inhibitors, alpha blockers, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and angiotensin II receptor antagonists, to name just a few. These act to dilate narrow blood vessels to improve blood flow and reduce high blood pressure readings. Secondary hypertension may be a lifetime illness and maintenance antihypertensive medications are usually prescribed.
Other actions to be taken in How To Treat Hypertension are meant to improve the life of a person with high blood pressure. Lifestyle changes should include stopping smoking, decreasing alcohol intake, reducing caffeine intake, managing stress effectively and making wise and healthy food choices as these are all meant to reduce high blood pressure. A low sodium diet is always recommended to people suffering from hypertension as well as the intake of foods and supplements that are rich in potassium, magnesium and calcium are recommended. Living a more active lifestyle through exercise, sports and various physical activities can also lower a high blood pressure as well as reduce the risk of developing chronic cardiovascular diseases as a result of high blood pressure.

What a couple of crazy nights (and days) we've had around here! Long, long story to follow.
Ava (my 13-month-old daughter) came down with a nasty cough on Wednesday. By Thursday, it sounded much worse so I called her doctor's office to see if I could get her in for an appointment. They were short-staffed and didn't have any openings, so I talked to the nurse and explained Ava's symptoms (fever for a couple days, then she sounded hoarse which turned into a barky sounding cough and finally she started sneezing a lot and the coughing continued). She said it sounded like croup, which is a virus and just needs to run it's course. She said use a humidifier, take her into a steamy bathroom if she gets coughing bad, and watch her breathing. If she has difficulty breathing, take her to Urgent Care or an ER.
We had been planning to go out of town for the weekend to a lake in Nebraska, leaving Friday morning, but after Ava's cough wasn't getting any better during the day on Thursday we resigned ourselves to staying home.
Thursday night Ava got worse and worse. She couldn't sleep for more than a few minutes before waking up coughing badly. We almost took her to the ER around 12:30 a.m. Friday morning (July 29), but once we got outside she started doing better. So instead we walked up and down the street in the dark several times.
I decided to try laying with her on my chest on the couch to see if sleeping at an incline would help her. But by about 2:30 a.m., her breathing got steadily worse and she started really struggling. In fact, her sternum began caving in with each breath as she tried so hard to get oxygen. 🙁 It was at that point that I yelled to Jody (who'd just gone to bed about 15 minutes beforehand) that we need to go to the ER NOW. We already had the car packed from earlier. I decided just to hold Ava in my lap for the short (1 mile) drive to the hospital since trying to buckle her in the carseat would take time and probably upset her and make it even harder for her to breathe (crying aggravates the condition a lot). By the time we pulled up to the ER, the skin around her mouth was turning blue. 🙁 Jody dropped me and Ava off and I started filling out a registration form. A nurse heard Ava's labored breathing and immediately took us into the assessment room and got Ava hooked up to a machine that monitored her oxygen levels. They were still in a good range. After putting a little info about Ava into the computer, she took us back to a gurney and the doctor was in to see us shortly thereafter.
Ava ended up having three breathing treatments that night, as well as a shot of steroids. She cried with every breathing treatment and I had to hold her arms down so the nurse could blow the medicine into her nose/mouth. It was hard to see her so upset but I was happy to do it knowing it was helping her get well.
While in the ER, Ava had to have two chest x-rays. Jody had gone home to sleep a little bit before then, so I had to help hold her during the x-rays which she was none too happy about either. They came back all clear though. That was a good sign.
Later on the ER doctor suggested we start an IV to help keep her hydrated. I explained that she is breastfed and was nursing a lot and I didn't think dehydration was an issue. He said as long as she continued to nurse regularly, we wouldn't have to start one. But then later, a nurse came in saying she had an order to start an IV. I told her what the doctor had said, but she said the reason for it was to administer medicine (like if she needed more steriods) and so I reluctantly agreed to it. Having to hold Ava while they tried to get it going was horrible. With the little tourniquet on her, her arm was all red and she just kept screaming. The first try getting the IV in didn't work and the doctor came in at that point, probably to see why she was screaming so much. He told the nurse that she didn't have to have an IV because she was breastfeeding and the nurse said she thought it was for medicine. Ugh. So the doctor said no, no IV. At least they didn't have to try it again, but I was mad at myself for not having the nurse check with the doctor before we even started since he'd just told me we didn't need one. 🙁
Since Ava had to have more than 1 breathing treatment and was still stridorous (Stridor is a harsh, raspy, whooping, gasping sound made when breathing in. This is especially worrisome when it happens while they are at rest.), the ER doctor admitted her to Pediatrics around 7 a.m.
The Ped ward was nice and all of the nurses were really good and friendly with Ava. (She got a stuffed animal doggy of her very own to take home too. She kept signing "bear" at it though because she thought it looked like a bear, so we named it Berry.) She continued to make slow but steady progress with her breathing during the day on Friday. She also acted like she was feeling a lot better. We got a visit from a little dog named Hepsie (with the animal therapy program through the hospital) Friday morning and Ava loved it. She also took to walking the halls of the Ped ward and saying hi to nurses, visitors, other patients, etc., and wowing them with her sign language. (I was surprised how many of the nurses had never heard of signing with babies.) She's such a friendly girl. 🙂
Since croup usually is worst on the third night (which was Friday night), the pediatrician on call required that we stay another night. Better safe than sorry. Thankfully Friday night went really well. We all managed to get some sleep, though Jody and I are still exhausted. It didn't help that the lil miss, who's routine had been so messed up lately, decided at 3:30 a.m. that it was time to play for an hour and a half. So we hung out with the nurses for a bit and also played in the play room, where Ava enjoyed being pushed around in a little car.
This morning, after being examined by the doctor on call again, we got the all clear to go home. While waiting to be discharged, Ava got a visit from another doggy, Suzie. Hooray for doggies! 🙂 We headed home around 11 a.m.
It's good to be home and good to have Ava acting mostly like her old self again. She will probably still have the cough for another week and a half or so, but it shouldn't affect her breathing anymore. Now if only Ava would go down for a nap, I could catch some more (very much-needed) Zzzzzs myself. 😉

Marshall's response, both emotional and photographic, was strongest to the jazz and folk musicians. Not surprisingly, the first money he earned from his photography came from the sale of a musician's portrait; Riverside bought a picture of Bev Kelly for twenty-five dollars and used it on the back of an album cover.
Since then, Marshall has photographed the world's pre-eminent jazz, country, folk, blues and rock musicians, always with the greatest respect and affection. During the most extraordinary times yet for popular music, Jim Marshall seemed to be everywhere that mattered; an informal portrait of John Coltrane, a boyish Bob Dylan kicking a tire down a New York street, Hendrix immolating his Strat at Monterey Pop, The Who greeting the sunrise at Woodstock, Johnny Cash flipping a big F-you at the warden of San Quentin, The Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East, and Miles Davis at the First Isle of Wight Festival.
Jim lived the life alongside his subjects and never betrayed their trust; he was granted second-to-none access. Marshall was the only photographer allowed backstage to what proved to be The Beatles' final concert at Candlestick Park. Jim's photos from the Monterey Pop Festival became as woven into the lore of the '60s as the breakout performances of Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding. Jim also captured moments of unguarded intimacy, such as Janis Joplin lounging backstage with a bottle of Southern Comfort and Brian Jones and Jimi Hendrix strolling the Monterey fairgrounds. Marshall documented Johnny Cash during his ground breaking concerts for prison reform, at Folsom and San Quentin Prisons.
With over 500 album covers of the great musicians, and, thousands of photos of GRAMMY Award winners of the 20th century to his credit Jim Marshall has been a dominant force in bringing popular music to the masses. For every year of the GRAMMY Awards, from Count Basie and Winton Marsalis, Willie Nelson and Shelby Lynne, BB King and Lenny Kravitz, Frank Sinatra and John Mayer, Sheryl Crow and Miriam Makeba, Eric Clapton and Ben Harper, there has always been a GRAMMY Award Winner who was photographed by Jim Marshall.
The evidence is the explanation: a body of work in which each picture describes the musician's character rather than Marshall' ego. Jim said it simply, "It's never just been a job it's been my LIFE."

While corn ethanol dominates the current biofuel market, the future of clean liquid-energy looks more likely to be found floating on ponds than growing in fields.
Algae-derived biofuels have garnered a lot of attention and investment over the past year due to their potential market-disrupting economics, even if they have become more common in research labs.
"We estimate the pricing of our diesel products at as little as $30 per barrel," says Bill Sims, CEO of Joule Biotechnologies, a bioengineering firm focusing on the renewable biofuels market. "The big prize is to be competitive with fossil fuels, not with other biofuels."
How It Works
His firm's "Helioculture" technology takes their genetically engineered organisms—to protect their intellectual property they won't name them, but Sims says they are "algae-like"—and exposes them to sunlight and carbon dioxide in what look like solar panels.
The organisms then secrete diesel, along with other usable chemicals.
Sims is aiming high. He estimates his technology can take a large share of potential $1-trillion markets in diesel and related chemicals.
"The reality is there are going to be several winners in this space," he says. "But we're well ahead."
While it comes from a non-fossil-fuel source, Joule's process produces diesel, not biodiesel, Sims notes with emphasis.
Joule's diesel is chemically the same as fossil-fuel diesel, he says, which means it can go straight into the engines now powering the nation's commercial vehicle fleet and get a similar energy output as fossil fuel-derived diesel.
Biodiesel usually needs to be blended with fossil fuels and can require modifications to some engines.
"Biodiesel faces additional challenges and has a substantially smaller market opportunity than a direct 'drop-in' replacement for petroleum-derived diesel," says Sims. "There's high value in the ability to make liquid hydrocarbons that are fungible."
He adds that compatibility allows Joule's diesel to use the same storage and distribution methods as fossil fuel diesel.
Host Of Advantages
As a fuel crop, algae stacks up well against other biofuel feedstocks currently in production or in development.
A report from cleantech research firm Greener Dawn on the sector says most algael biofuels firms working on products now expect to get 4,000 to 6,000 gallons of fuel per acre.
Joule's Sims says his firm is targeting annual output of 15,000 gallons per acre.
By comparison, corn-based ethanol produces about 400 gallons of fuel per acre, its cellulosic ethanol counterpart up to 800 gallons per acre and soybean biodiesel a mere 40 gallons per acre, according to research from Sandia National Laboratories cited in Greener Dawn's report.
"This is several orders of magnitude larger than anything being used today for either ethanol or biodiesel," says George Santana of Greener Dawn.
Algae's growth cycle is much shorter than that of corn, soy or other biofuel sources, and like cellulosic ethanol that uses grasses and agricultural waste, it also doesn't compete in the agrifood market for its feedstock.
Algae also requires less water—for growth and for processing—and less handling by heavy, fossil-fuel-burning equipment in being harvested and processed.
Santana points out that the basic process for mass production of algae isn't new, either.
Companies like Martek Biosciences grow algae for specialized pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement use, and Santana says you can expect to see these firms try to leverage that knowledge in the biofuels market.
(Martek received a $10-million investment from British oil giant BP
last year for biofuel research.)
Shell, Chevron , ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil are all exploring algae-based fuel.
But despite the promise of the sector, don't expect cheap algae-based fuels overnight, says Santana.
The top eight companies that his firm has identified in the sector have attracted over $350 million in capital over the past three years, he says, and all of them have aggressive commercialization dates for their technologies, ranging from this year through 2013.
"We're probably five to ten years away from any kind of scale in algae," he says. "The media is a little bit ahead of where companies are as far as production."
Obstacles And Disadvantages
Few large-scale production plants exist yet, and producing a fuel with the consistency both in quality and quantity of an oil refinery isn't simple.
The industry also needs to get Washington on its side. Currently, algael biofuels aren't eligible for tax breaks and subsidies going to other biofuels, such as cellulosic ethanol.
"The biggest problem is they don't have tax parity with other biofuels," says Garvin Jabusch, chief investment officer at investment firm Green Alpha Advisors.
He adds that any "anti-algae" bias is more likely due to the rapid growth of the sector than to any political meddling.
"It's just an oversight," he says. "Their scale is so small. But if they get parity, it'll unlock a lot of capital."
With the combined potential of dramatically cheaper production costs and huge scalability, algae-produced biofuels may have the clean energy market's brightest future.
"Our research leads us to believe that algae has the potential to revolutionize the field of biofuels," says Greener Dawn's Santana. "Unlike previous promises from the corn, sugar cane and soybean lobbies, algae have the potential to make a significant impact [on] countries' dependence on foreign oil imports."
And while the race between competing biofuels has some lengths to go, analysts advise putting too much faith in the early leaders.
"The [biofuels] that compete with food crops are in the lead right now," says Jabusch. "I think they'll fall to a mix of cellulosic ethanol and algae fuels."

Recall 16V373000
Passenger Frontal Air Bag Inflator Ruptures On Deployment
Recall Details
The passenger frontal air bag inflator may rupture on deployment, causing metal fragments to come through the air bag and injure occupants. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag assemblies free of charge to resolve the concern.
Our Quick Take
The passenger frontal air bag assembly is deployed by an inflator which contains propellant that makes the air bag deploy. This propellant may degrade over time, especially when exposed to humidity and temperature cycling. As a result, the inflator may rupture on deployment, which can send metal shrapnel through the air bag, striking vehicle occupants. This could result in serious injury or death.
What Should You Do?
Recalls on your Jaguar must be performed by a Jaguar dealership. Jaguar will notify owners of affected vehicles beginning in late July, 2016. If you do receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Jaguar dealerships. They will also check for any other uncompleted recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with.

Cubs' Maestri a rarity on Team Italy
Prospect the first native Italian signed by Major League team

Most, that means, will be Italian-Americans who have a parent, or more likely a grandparent, who comes from Italy. In 2006, the roster was dotted with the likes of Frank Catalanotto and Mike Piazza, and 2009 figures to be more of the same. Of the 45 players on the provisional roster, 14 play in the Italian League.
Then there's pitching prospect Alessandro Maestri, who, get this, is with a Major League organization -- the Cubs -- and is actually from Italy. Back in 2006, Maestri was signed by Bill Holmberg, who works for the Cubs and is the Italian National Team's pitching coach. Maestri was on the Italian team for the first rendition of the Classic, appearing in two games. He is the first Italian-born pitcher to be signed by a Major League team.
After he'd started out as a reliever, the Cubs moved the right-hander into the rotation last year for multiple purposes, to have him work on all of his pitches as well as to see exactly what they had in the 23-year-old. He went 5-4 with a 4.04 ERA over 89 innings, getting shut down conservatively when he experienced some shoulder soreness.
"We put him in the rotation last year to get his command better," Cubs vice president of player personnel, Oneri Fleita, said. "When he's out of the 'pen, he throws harder and has more velocity on his slider. We wanted more pitchability.
"It's so hard to develop 200-plus-inning pitchers, so we really went back and tried to determine who they're going to be."
And they've determined that Maestri is best suited to be a reliever. Aside from the shoulder soreness, the role seems to fit him well from a stuff and temperament standpoint. That's likely to be his job on Team Italy and, if all goes well, perhaps in Chicago sooner than you may think.
"He's had a good winter from what we've heard. He's healthy and we look for him to move quickly out of the 'pen," Fleita added. "His experience as a starter has been great. But he's fearless. For a guy from a country where they don't play [that high of a level of baseball], he doesn't show it. Clearly, he's a reliever. He likes pitching out of the 'pen."
RHP Hung-Wen Chen, from Chinese Taipei, has been pitching in the United States for just over a year. He made his Cubs debut in 2007 and will pitch this season at age 23 after splitting the '08 campaign between Peoria and Daytona and finishing with a 3.38 ERA over 128 innings. A real bulldog and strike-thrower, the Cubs expect him to make the Chinese Taipei final roster.
2B Dwyane Kemp was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and made his pro debut last summer, seeing time with the Rookie-level Arizona League Cubs and the short-season Boise Hawks. The diminutive (he's listed at 5-foot-8) second baseman got in 88 at-bats and hit .227 for those clubs. He'll be just 21 this season and is the kind of scrappy gamer teams love to have.
Once a prospect in the Blue Jays system, Canadian RHP Vince Perkins is new to the Cubs organization. He pitched for the Brewers most recently, in 2007, before spending time in two independent leagues last season. The 27-year-old has a career 3.81 ERA in affiliated ball and was fifth in the Puerto Rican Winter League with a 2.74 ERA over 49 1/3 innings.
RHP Ryan Searle is a 19-year-old Aussie who made his debut with the Cubs last summer. He made stops in the Rookie-level Arizona League and the short-season Northwest League and had a nice debut. Over 34 1/3 combined innings, Searle had a 1.05 ERA and held opponents to a .171 batting average, really coming on the scene as a sinker-slider guy who throws in the low- to mid-90s.

WASHINGTON, June 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday for Secret Service agents who were sued after arresting a man who criticized Vice President Dick Cheney in 2006.
The ruling reverses a lower court decision allowing the suit on First Amendment grounds and sends the case back down for a new hearing.
The case began June 16, 2006, when Steven Howards took his two young sons to hear a piano recital at the Beaver Creek Mall in Beaver Creek, Colo.
Cheney was also visiting the mall, along with Secret Service Protective Intelligence Coordinator Gus Reichle and Secret Service Special Agents Dan Doyle, Adam Daniels and Daniel McLaughlin.
Howards approached the vice president and told him his "policies in Iraq are disgusting," court records said. Cheney responded, "Thank you."
"As he departed, Mr. Howards touched the vice president's right shoulder with his open hand," an appeals court opinion said.
Reichle eventually confronted Howards, asking him whether he had "touched" Cheney, and Howards conceded he lied by first responding he hadn't. "Agent Reichle decided to arrest Mr. Howards for assault on the vice president," the appeals court said. "Agents Doyle, Daniels and McLaughlin assisted in restraining Mr. Howards during the arrest."
Howards was turned over to the Eagle County Sheriff's Department and detained for hours, finally being charged with harassment in violation of state law. However, the state prosecutor dropped the charge and no federal charges ever were filed.
Howards filed suit against Reichle, Doyle, Daniels and McLaughlin.
An appeals court panel ruled 2-1 that Howards could pursue his First Amendment claim.
But writing for the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Clarence Thomas said the agents were entitled to immunity because at the time of Howards' arrest, it was not clearly established that an arrest supported by probable cause could give rise to a First Amendment violation.
Justice Elena Kagan, who was solicitor general during part of the case in which the agents were defended by the Obama administration, did not participate in the Supreme Court case.

Remember ESPN's "The Season"? It's here again
A lot of people have asked me over the years: "Wasn't there a show on ESPN a few years ago, about the Avalanche, a behind-the-scenes show?" Yes, it was called "The Season", and it was about the Avs' 2003-04 season, the one with Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne.
Thanks to Avalanche superfan Ryan Boulding, it's all here in one piece. Just click on the video below to watch the whole two-plus hour thing. For a lot of you, it'll be fun to see some of the old days. No, the team didn't win the Stanley Cup that year, but…
I'm not at all bitter, by the way, that they never interviewed me for the show. Terry Frei got all the face time.
I'll always be surprised that team didn't win a Cup, but we all know the reasons why:
– Injuries. Kariya got hurt twice, and Selanne had a bad knee all year. Peter Forsberg was hurt at times, Alex Tanguay was hurt at times, Peter Worrell came to camp fat and out of shape, etc., etc.
– I like Tony Granato, but I don't think he was the right coach for that team. That kind of team – one full of superstars – needed more of a veteran coach. Think Chuck Daly and the U.S. basketball Dream Team of 1992. It needed that type of guy. Granato, when you watch the tape of his talks to the team, was too wooden and didn't seem confident enough around that kind of team. Some guys didn't like him by the end. Selanne was one. There was also friction between Granato and assistant Rick Tocchet by the end. I mean, it was nothing huge, no big deal really. Nobody ever likes the coach. But I said it then and I have no problem saying it still: the Avs messed up by firing Bob Hartley so soon. The guy took them to one Cup and three Western finals in his first four years on the job, then he gets fired early into the fifth season – with a winning record.
– The Steve Moore incident that year created a big distraction. The fact that his teammates never really stood up for him after Todd Bertuzzi's gutless attack kind of said a lot about the chemistry problems of that team. Watch the tape of this whole thing really hard and you come away with the impression that the team never developed a close enough bond. The way the team kind of dusted its hands of Moore continues to be a stain on its reputation. It was a terrible thing, and the Avs just kind of seemed to shrug it off.
– This was the first year without Patrick Roy, and even though I think David Aebischer played well, Roy's loss speaks for itself. Players said all the right things about Abby, but they were always kind of looking over their shoulder, worried about him. It was always Aebischer's curse that he had to follow Patrick Roy.
It's still fun to watch, especially the team party scenes. And it's also narrated, unbelievably, by Metallica's James Hetfield. Enjoy:

Clan Challenge Privileges
Clans can use game creation privileges for Clan Wars and Clan Tournaments. This allows Clan Wars to run much smoother and will hopefully allow for larger and more innovative types of challenges. Using gaming privileges will also give visibility to player performance via current site scripts.
The general consensus is that only competitive groups should be allowed to have the privileges. Social groups are discussion groups primarily and will not be given game creation privileges. The gaming privileges will be executed under the Current Tournament System and will have the tag type "Clan" which is searchable on the Tournament Finder.
Qualifying Clans
1. Clans must have a minimum of 10 active players.
2. For gaming privileges, clans must also follow the 1 competitive clan rule for the duration of the privileges, meaning a player can only be in one clan.
3. Clans must also be able to reasonably complete a clan war with their current roster. If a clan is primarily made up of freemium accounts, it will be expected that they have 2-3 spots open for clan war games.
4. Clans must be a member of CDF.
Who will be given gaming privileges
Only 1 member per participating clan will be given the gaming privileges. That person can be anyone within that clan who meets the following:
1. Approved by the Clan Leader (I will ask that leaders post an approval of the person starting the war thread, along with the opposing leader posting their nominee for rights)
2. Have no abandoned tournaments/clan wars within the past year
3. Have a Premium Account
4. Be in good standing with the site (eg. no other account issues)
1. Have had previous experience with Tournament Privileges
What the privileges are used for:
Clan Wars and Clan Tournaments
1. Privileges are for clan wars and tournaments that include other clans
2. There must be a well-documented clan war thread within the PUBLIC clan forum so that games can be validated (The Clan Directors reserves the right to audit your war and thread) to show that privileges are properly being used.
3. Privileges can only be obtained for clan wars individually, a single purpose clan war gaming privilege will not be granted.
4. The clan war must be of a minimum 41 games for 2 clans and must provide a winner during the regular flow of the war. Tie-breakers will no longer be allowed for Clan Wars in order to facilitate future implementations.
5. Clan tournaments must be a minimum of 4 clans and must be at least 20 home games per clan involved.
Responsibilities of the Privilege Holders and War Thread Updaters
1. The first post of a war thread/tournament should be updated at least once a week.
2. The Clan Directors reserve the right to edit/change/update the first post of any war or tournament.
3. To enable clan medal issuing, please record all games on separate lines IN THE FIRST POST, especially 1v1 portions of a war and have them [game][/game] tagged as well.
4. To enable timely clan database updates, all games should also be posted in the Active War Game Lists Thread found Here.
5. Any games created and played, but not counting towards the war/tournament with the privileges must be documented as well such as errors and replayed games. This is to help the CD's with medal issuing.
6. When a war/tournament is completed the title of the first post must be marked "Final".
What it is NOT
This is not for Intra-clan tournaments or training of new recruits.
Abuse of privileges and/or Misuse: 6 Month to 12 Month clan gaming privileges ban for player, length of duration at the clan directors' discretion, plus those players who knowingly participate in a clan war that they know is not valid. Using another person's account to run a war will also result in a ban of clan privileges. If the problem is so pervasive, a full clan ban on gaming privileges could be put into place for the violating clan.
Abandoned Clan Wars: Clans that abandon a challenge will lose clan gaming privileges for 3 months.
Once the terms of the war are documented, and both contacts are noted in the thread, please post in here to obtain game creation privileges, with both names and the link to the war thread.
The CDs retain full and absolute discretion to deny privileges should they determine that any event/war would not be in the best interest of clans as a whole.
This policy and procedures manual will be updated accordingly.

There has been SO much anticipation surrounding the premiere of The Hunger Games and, now that the movie has officially debuted in theaters, superfans will undoubtedly be adorned in a long braid in "tribute" to the movie's hero Katniss Everdeen, who wears the trademark style for the majority of the book. Or, as an alternative, they may wear their hair in wild Capital-inspired colors. One this is certain... "the world will be watching..."
In addition to being Spring's hottest movie launch, The Hunger Games was also a huge, career-changing opportunity for Cherry Petenbrink, lead colorist for Joico, who was brought to the North Carolina set to create the looks not only for the main cast but for the 500 extras who played the people of Panem in the futuristic storyline. Intended to appear privileged, pampered, couture and edgy, the citizens of "the Capitol" wore a variety of wigs and hairpieces, supplementing their own hair in brilliant brights, pastels and apocalyptic grays.
"Author Suzanne Collins is a very visual writer. I had to create bright, intense and unique shades," Petenbrink said. "The real challenge was to keep the residents very sophisticated and couture, not a redirection of the punk era of past. I am really proud of the end result."
In collaboration with The Hunger Games, hair department head Linda Flowers, costume designer Judianna Makovsky, and Petenbrink directed nearly 45 hair designers, including talented local stylists. After Flowers and Petenbrink prepared the wigs and wefts with Joico hair color, the on-set stylists individualized each actor's look.
"It was a beauty pro's dream," says Valerie Robinett, Joico director of public relations, who visited the set during the filming. "At a hair show, you see maybe 25 to 35 models with gorgeous color—here, there were 500! Looking out, it was a sea of color."
Petenbrink predicts the film's designs will influence spring and summer color trends. "I truly think that once they see the hair from the Capitol," she said, "people will say nothing like this has ever been done."
We're SO excited about the film, and can't wait to see our favorite characters come to life!
The Heroine: Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence
Step 1. Fill the hair with Joico Vero K-PAK Chrome Demi Permanent Color in 3/4 parts N6 + 1/4 part G6.
Step 2. Process 20 minutes.
Step 3. Glaze the hair with Joico Vero Chrome in 3/4 parts A5 + 1/4 part N4.
Hair Department Head Linda Flowers identifies three of the looks that she created for Lawrence's character as her particular favorites:
'50s Hollywood Glam—In the scene in which she returns from the Games, Katniss has transformed from a girl to a woman, and Flowers opted to create a retro Hollywood wave for the scene. For the dry set, she first prepped the hair with Joico K-PAK Protective Hairspray. She used the Topstyler by Instyler to set the hair, creating figure-eight shape curls on top sections and pincurls on the bottom. Once the hair cooled she brushed through and applied a small amount of Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Restorative Styling Oil through hair lengths for maximum shine.
'60s Updo—The style that Katniss pairs with her "girl on fire" dress is a '60s-inspired upsweep, with a deep side fringe. The finishing touch is one of the character's signature braids wrapped around the base. Flowers prepped the hair with Joico K-PAK Thermal Design Foam before drying, then created curls with the Topstyler by Instyler before gathering the hair in the updo and attaching the braid.
The Headdress—For the chariot scene, Katniss appears in a dramatic headdress, fashioned entirely from braided hairpieces. Flowers reveals that she turned to Spiker Water Resistant Styling Glue to stiffen the braids before she sculpted them into the finished piece.
The Boy: Peeta Mellark, played by Josh Hutcherson
Petenbrink was charged with two significant color changes for the actors. A natural Level 3 dark brunette, Josh Hutcherson's hair had to be lightened for his role of Peeta. Cherry reveals that the transformation took place in two stages:
Step 1. Joico Vero K-PAK Crème Lightener + 20 volume Vero K-PAK Color Veroxide, applied scalp to ends, lifted to Level 6
Step 2. Joico Vero K-PAK Crème Lightener + 20 volume Vero K-PAK Color Veroxide, applied scalp to ends, lifted from Level 6 to Level 8 and toned with Joico Vero K-PAK Chrome equal parts A7 + A9 + Vero K-PAK Chrome Activator Crème Developer.
For the boys' hair, Flowers says she used Depression-era looks as inspiration. The hair cuts were meant to resemble DIY—as if they had simply buzzed them at home at some point, and it had grown out. "Of course they are the stars," she says, "so we made their hair a little looser and sexier than the rest of the District 12 men."
The Garish Escort: Effie Trinket
Brittle, menacing and outrageously stylish, The Hunger Games escort provides equal parts horror and comic relief. The pink wig Flowers and Petenbrink created for Elizabeth Banks' Effie has already become the most talked-about hair element of the film. "Effie is couture," says Flowers, "but this is a fantasy so my choice was to create a look that combined classic with contemporary." The classic element in the style, she says, is a '30s-inspired, finger-waved bob. Flowers inserted small, fuzzy hair pieces between the finger waves, producing an airy, somewhat wild effect.
The other contemporary influence comes in the form of the cotton candy hue. To create the shade on the synthetic parts of the wig, Petenbrink used fabric dye. Then she turned to Joico color to match the hue on the human hair pieces, combining Joico Vero K-PAK Color Intensity 3 oz. Clear + 1-2 drops Pink.
And because Effie is such a stylish citizen, she also steps out in a lavender wig and a lime green wig in the film, created with these Joico formulas:
Lavender: Joico Vero K-PAK Color Intensity 3 oz. Clear + 1 drop Indigo + 1-2 drop Pink
Lime green: Joico Vero K-PAK Color Intensity 3 oz. Clear + 1 drop Yellow + 1 drop Green.

Frank Escoubès, founder of Imagination for People wrote a recent article for Huffington Post France in which he argues for a change in the way we view business. Which got me thinking about the way we choose to approach business and strategy. So here's a questions for you: If you think about a succesful business, don't you tend to see it as one which has outsmarted its competition and is now the "leader" in its sector?
I know I did.
But is this really correct?
We have been taught to approach business in a completely erroneous way ...

Last Friday saw me head up to the Outdoors show at the NEC, both to look at the show and to attend the Walk reader awards as we were up for best Online Outdoors Retailer. The Walk awards have been running for a number of years now, and they are the only awards worth their salt as an outdoor retailer. As Webtogs has been on the go for just three years, we were pretty pleased to get nominated and the guys at walk had let us know we had posted in the top three.
The show itself was pretty good with a fair selection of brands and destinations all on display. I particuarly liked the bushcraft area, the presenters were excellent and the community vibe in the area was the best at the show. Having had a pootle around the show, I sat down at the back of the Cicerone walking stage to watch Simon King presenting the awards. Butterflies grew as we duly got to the best Online retailer, at which point my jaw dropped down to sea level when the Webtogs name was read out in first place!!
We never expected to do as well as we did for this our first year being nominated and we just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who voted for us. We're super chuffed that we have won and we promise that we will carry on delivering the best online experience, the best products and the best customer service of any outdoors retailer. It means a great deal to us that we have made it on to so many peoples radar as the place to shop for outdoor gear.
So thanks again to the Ramblers and Walk magazine, all their readers and all our customers, we're deeply humbled you all think we are the best online retailer in outdoor – Cheers!

Patriotism, Dedication, and Esprit de Corps
From a press release by Law Enforcement Against Prohibition:
[A] U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent… was fired for saying in a casual conversation that legalizing and regulating drugs would help stop cartel violence along the southern border with Mexico. After sharing his views with a colleague, the fired agent, Bryan Gonzalez, received a letter of termination stating that his comments are "contrary to the core characteristics of Border Patrol Agents, which are patriotism, dedication, and espirit [sic] de corps." Last week, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, Gonzalez filed a lawsuit seeking damages.
I know very little about employment law and have no idea whether the agent has a case. But just consider that even some Border Patrol agents are questioning the War on Drugs — and even when it can cost them their jobs.
If it costs you less to speak out, then please, consider doing so. American patriotism is about speaking one's mind. Dedication to a failed policy isn't a virtue. And will the firings continue until the esprit de corps improves?

MLS late last week issued new roster rules allowing each team to add two additional roster spots for homegrown players. The rules now allow two homegrown players, 20 senior players, and four additional protected players.
Since the Dynamo already have two homegrown players on their roster in Tyler Deric and Francisco Navas Cobo, this essentially opens up two more roster spots for the team to use on other players.
"We got Tyler [Deric] and Francisco [Navas Cobo], so it obviously opens up two spots and some extra money," coach Dominic Kinnear said. "It makes us more flexible in what we can do. We're looking to improve the squad. It changes things a little bit in terms of numbers and money so that maybe we can be a little more aggressive at times."
The Dynamo used some of their newfound roster flexibility immediately by signing Joseph Ngwenya on Tuesday. Ngwenya will fill the one remaining senior roster spot available.
The team should have additional flexibility to potentially move other players from the senior roster to the protected player list and open up additional senior roster spots, but they have not made any moves along those lines yet.
While the team came to terms with the former Dynamo forward Ngwenya, his international transfer certificate is held by the Turkish club Antalyaspor. Consequently, it could take some time before his paperwork is finalized.
Everyone likely remembers Ngwenya's last moment in orange, when he scored a goal in the 2007 MLS Cup and helped the Dynamo earn their first championship in franchise history. Ngwenya spoke this week about his travels since that goal, which have taken him from Germany to Turkey.
"It was great," said Ngwenya. "It's always good to experience something different. It didn't work out as I would have planned or wished, but it was a great experience."
With Dynamo forwards Brian Ching and Cam Weaver injured and Luis Landin suspended for Saturday's game, Dominic Oduro may be the only forward available on the roster. If Ngwenya can formalize his paperwork in time, he may jump straight into the starting lineup. If not, Brian Mullan may again be forced up top.
"I'm pulling for Joe, big-time," Mullan quipped.
Andrew Hainault has suffered a calf contusion and is now listed as doubtful for Saturday's match against Chivas USA. Kinnear may be forced to go with Craig Waibel, Adrian Serioux or Ryan Cochrane if Hainault is unable to play.

Some pension changes needed by June, Pa. budget chief says
The Associated Press
[+] Enlarge.
HARRISBURG - Lawmakers need to reduce taxpayers' share of payments into Pennsylvania's major state pension funds in the next few years even if the rest of Gov. Tom Corbett's pension-overhaul proposals bog down, the governor's top budget adviser said Wednesday.
Budget Secretary Charles Zogby said Corbett's $28.4 billion state budget plan for the year starting July 1 includes $175 million in savings from a proposed short-term reduction in taxpayers' contributions to the pensions of hundreds of thousands of state and school employees. Similar deferrals would avert sharp increases in the following two years.
Failure to approve the changes would require cuts elsewhere in the budget, he said.
"It's imperative that we leave here in June with something on pension reform that's going to deal with the immediate effects of this coming budget as well as the next couple of budget years," Zogby said at a news briefing about the governor's plan.
Corbett's pension initiative has yet to be introduced as legislation nearly two months after he unveiled it, and the reaction from legislators has been cool at best.
Yet Zogby and James Schultz, the governor's chief counsel, talked about the package as if it is not only likely to pass but also likely to be upheld in the courts.
"There's an interest all the way around in having (a) once-and-done solution," Zogby said.
The chairman of a House Republican task force working on the pension issue said he could not support deferring pension obligations for short-term savings.
"I don't have much appetite to do that because that's what we've done for years - under-funding the pensions to pay for other stuff," said Rep. Glen Grell, R-Cumberland, whose district includes a large number of state employees.
The most radical changes in Corbett's plan would reduce the future pension benefits of more than 370,000 members of the Public School Employees' Retirement System and the Pennsylvania State Employees' Retirement System to save $12 billion over 30 years.
Unions representing the employees have vowed to sue if the changes are approved, and their leaders say decades of case law are on their side.
The combined unfunded liability of the two systems is more than $41 billion.
State courts have established that public pension benefits are contracts and that the state constitution prohibits changes that impair those contracts, but the administration says those rulings have included the retroactive effect of changes.
Corbett's lawyers hope to take benefits already earned out of the equation by freezing them when the changes take effect in 2015 and crediting employees for the full value up to that point. By doing that, they hope to limit the scope of any court review to the newly reduced benefits and whether the changes had an important public purpose.
"We believe we have a very strong argument, and a winning argument, on the constitutionality" question, Schultz said.
Corbett's proposal is clearly illegal, said Michael Crossey, president of the state's largest teachers' union, the Pennsylvania State Education Association.
"Saying something is constitutional doesn't make it true, regardless of the number of media events the governor's office orchestrates," Crossey said.

With an internal war in Burma tearing at the country for more than 50 years, refugees have been pouring into northern Thailand, seeking some way to survive. In response to this need, Compassion and International Justice Mission (IJM) have partnered over the past two years to help support the refugees as they begin a new life.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) states that over the last four decades, 1.3 million refugees have emigrated from Burma to Thailand.
Thailand has been willing to help refugees by providing shelter, schooling and basic survival needs (e.g., food, shelter and medical care) via nine refugee camps along the border. Currently, Thailand hosts 112,000 registered refugees, of which an estimated 50,000 are not in a border camp.
According to the humanitarian group Free Burma Rangers, "The Regime's army has built roads and camps in ethnic homelands forcing people to relocate or flee into the jungle. There is documented forced labor and the use of rape as a weapon … The Regime's army lays land mines down to keep villagers from returning home and supporting resistance. They aim to dominate the population, assimilate them and exploit them."
The Burmese refugees are mainly ethnic Karen and Kareeni. They've been in exile longer than many other groups in the world. Returning home seems unlikely.
Compassion Thailand has 13 child development centers located along the Thai-Burma border, where Karen children are receiving support through child sponsorship. But among these children, there have been many issues of non-citizenship and child rights.
We equip the center staff with knowledge and understanding about child protection, but one form of child protection training is offered by IJM. Every staff member from our 201 child development centers in Thailand attended IJM's training last year. The training taught the center staff how to provide a safe environment for children, discussed forms of abuse, and addressed ways to educate both parents and children on how to treat one another.
The staff also learned how to recognize the physical and behavioral signs of child abuse, along with how to respond properly.
For the center staff working along the Burmese border, citizenship was another training topic conducted. Many of the refugees have not received Thai citizenship because they don't know how to apply. The staff learned the proper procedures from the town baliff and a citizen specialist.
IJM is also helping Compassion Thailand through the legal process of obtaining citizenship for refugees. The centers along the Thai-Burma border are in the process of surveying and collecting the documents to prove that the children were born in Thailand and have a right to Thai citizenship. After the staff collect the documents, they send a report to the Compassion Thailand office and IJM assists our office staff with the next steps.

I got to see Paul Weller at 315 Bowery!
There are a few things in NYC that i would have liked to have been a part of while they were still around. Seeing Les Paul play at the Iridium, Seeing RENT while it was still on Broadway, Going to Blll's Gay Nineties before it closed - and of course getting to watch a show at CBGB's.
Some of these opportunities will never again be possible; but thanks to the good folks at Icelandic Glacial I was able to see a show at the John Varvatos gallery at 315 Bowery - the old location of CBGB's. John and his team did an amazing job of preserving what was left of the old club, even adding several items that are in keeping with the feel and flavor of the birthplace of punk music.
Already a huge Paul Weller fan, it just so happened that he was putting on a private show last Thursday night, and I jumped at the chance to be able to see Paul in such an intimate setting.
New York is one of those funny places. There's over 8 million people here, but it is really just like any other town. People run in close circles, and it's very likely to bump into people anyplace, anytime.
I was happy to run into Matt Pinfield at the show - as we hadn't seen each other in over a year. As soon as I saw him, I knew it was going to be a good night. And it was...
Thanks to the super swanky tickets Icelandic Glacial gave me for the show, my escort and I were able to watch the show from the sidestage with all of the VIP's. For a brief moment, I felt like one, too.
John Varvatos was a gracious host, and made everyone feel like they were his most important guest. I might not wear men's clothing, but I will be sure to patron his brand in the event that I find myself buying a gifts of that nature in the future.
But on to the show… Paul Weller, a.k.a. - the Modfather, put on an amazing show. I was busy fanning out and shaking my groove thing, so my video of the show (captured on my iPhone) is shaky at best. The audio, however, showcases the amazingness of the new tracks on Paul's newest release. Feel free to listen to the following clip below of Paul's newest single, "Dangerous Age."
Even though he put on performances the following two nights at the Best Buy Theater, I knew I was part of seeing something special. And even though the show was a perfect length, I couldn't help but feel sad that it was over.
Either way, I got to see a legend. Feel like part of a community. Meet a famous clothing designer. See a show at the old CBGB's. And order sushi from an iPhone app - timing it to be delivered within five minutes of arriving home from the show.
Only in New York City… Check. :)

Wild Cherry Bark
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 7, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Wild Cherry Bark
Cherry trees are popular because of their beauty especially when at their fullest bloom. But only a few people know of the cherry tree's significant contributions to both ancient and contemporary medicine.
Origin and History
The cherry tree is a huge, deciduous plant with a rough bark and dark green pointy leaves. It is characterized by tiny but still showy white flowers during spring. Its fruits are, of course, the staple of many homes – the small and round fruits with colors ranging from the reddest red to the darkest purple.
Most people think that the cherry tree originated from North America since it is present in large groves in many areas of the United States and Canada. The truth, however, is that the cherry tree is a native of Asian countries like Japan but was only imported to North America and Europe.
Ancient Uses
In ancient times, the cherry tree served many functions including symbolic, aesthetic and medicinal values. Buddhists believe that the cherry tree symbolized virginity and purity although it was also associated with fertility, which explains its strong association with the health of pregnant women. Other symbolic meanings included education and disguises.
Its medicinal values were mainly for lung disorders. Ancient peoples used the bark of the cherry tree to treat a wide variety of ailments. Cherokees used it to ease the pains of childbirth, the Mohegans treated dysentery with it and the Meskwakis used it as a sedative.
Other effective uses for the bark of the cherry tree are as an anti-tussive and anti-asthma. The tea from its bark was used to treat Coughs and to expel mucus from the lungs. Such is its efficacy in these respects that the cherry tree was included in the Pharmacopoeia list of the United States from 1820 to 1975, thus, proving the anecdotal evidence suggested by the Native Americans.
Of course, the cherry tree was also valued for its beautiful appearance and its delicious fruits. With such a wide variety of uses, it's no wonder that man is attracted to the tree.
Modern Uses
In modern times, the cherry tree still has a good reputation as the source of effective herbal medicine. Herbal supplements that come in the form of teas and capsules have been developed with the cherry tree as the main component for the treatment of similar ailments as in ancient times. Many herbal supplements also boast of cherry tree as a secondary ingredient because of its antiseptic properties.
In Germany and Mexico, the cherry tree is also being studied for its anti-cancer properties. Although the study itself is highly controversial, the initial results appear to be promising. For now, we suggest taking fresh cherries and taking in cherry supplements to take advantage of its rich antioxidant content.
Of course, cherry trees are also popular choices for furniture pieces because of their durability, beauty and easy availability. Cherries can also be eaten raw or enjoyed as jams, candies, syrups and even wine the whole year-round.
Side Effects
Like most supplements, certain precautions must be made when using cherry tree supplements. First, children less than two years of age must not take any cherry-related medications like herbal preparations. Second, pregnant women and lactating mothers must avoid taking cherry supplements, too. Third, even in relatively healthy individuals, care must be taken so that big doses can be avoided. Take note that the entire tree is composed of hydrocyanic acid, which can be poisonous in large amounts.
The wild cherry tree bark is, indeed, very useful in the field of medicine. Its contributions to herbal medicine and in other fields of human interest are worth noting.

President Barack Obama issued a disaster declaration to help Pennsylvania recover from summer storms that caused widespread flooding, damaged homes and businesses and cut power to tens of thousands.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced Tuesday that the declaration would supplement state and local recovery efforts after the June 26-July 11 storms. The aid also will help certain private nonprofit organizations.
Strong thunderstorms in late June cut power to about 20,000 utility customers and more storms in early July cut power to about 40,000 customers, spawning at least one tornado that destroyed a barn and other farm buildings. Gov. Tom Corbett said in an August letter to the president that damage had been estimated at $17.4 million.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
The aid is aimed to help repair damage in Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Crawford, Fayette, Huntingdon, Jefferson, Lawrence, Venango and Wayne counties.
FEMA officials said the aid will pay at least three-quarters of cost to remove debris from public areas and for emergency measures to protect life and property. The declaration also would help cover repair costs to damaged roads, bridges, utilities, buildings, schools and recreational areas, among other things.
