An impressive entrée for guests. Prepare in 25 minutes and visit while it bakes.
For the best results, cook the pasta shells just until al dente (still slightly firm). They are easier to stuff, and they won't be overcooked during baking.
If you can't find chive and onion cream cheese spread, just stir 1 tablespoon of each, finely chopped, into plain cream cheese spread.

Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read
September 25 − October 1, 2016
Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community; librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types, in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.
By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship. Check out the frequently challenged books section to explore the issues and controversies around book challenges and book banning. The books featured during Banned Books Week have all been targeted with removal or restrictions in libraries and schools. While books have been and continue to be banned, part of the Banned Books Week celebration is the fact that, in a majority of cases, the books have remained available. This happens only thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, students, and community members who stand up and speak out for the freedom to read.
For more information on getting involved with Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read, please see Ideas and Resources. You can also contact the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom at 1-800-545-2433, ext. 4226, or email@example.com.
For media inquiries related to Banned Books Week, please contact: Heather Cho, Media Relations Specialist, 312-280-4020, email@example.com; and Macey Morales, Deputy Director of ALA's Public Awareness Office, 312-280-4393, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Banned Books Week is sponsored by the American Booksellers Association; American Library Association; American Society of Journalists and Authors; Association of American Publishers; Author's Guild; Comic Book Legal Defense Fund; Dramatists Legal Defense Fund; Freedom to Read Foundation; National Coalition Against Censorship; National Council of Teachers of English; People for the American Way; PEN America and Project Censored.

text: The Atari 7800 wiki last edited by Panasonic3D0 on 01/01/17 06:29PM View full history SummaryAtari 7800 Pro SystemThe Atari 7800 was announced on May 21st, 1984, and was planned to cost consumers $140. In the eyes of Atari management the Atari 7800 would be a return to form after the lackluster performance of the Atari 5200, as the Atari 7800 would address almost all of the shortcomings of the Atari 5200. However due to series of unfortunate events and ill-conceived business decisions the system wouldn't launch until almost two years after its announcement. By this time Nintendo and Sega were dominating a newly rejuvenated home console market in the United States, but Atari still saw the opportunity to re-introduce the Atari name into American homes. Yet the Atari 7800 would mark a turning point for Atari as a console manufacturer as the console's struggle to regain public popularity marked the eventual collapse of the Atari brand name and company as a whole.BackstoryIn July of 1984, the home video game division of Atari was purchased by the now infamous Jack Tramiel. Although the Atari 7800 was ready to go at this point, licensing negotiations had to begin again because the Tramiels did not agree with existing licensing arrangements, as a result the release of the 7800 was delayed. It was around this time that the video game market crashed, and retailers cut orders and shipments for video games across the board. As a result, by the end of 1984 the industry was left with only Atari, Coleco ( ColecoVision), and Mattel ( Intellivision) all of which decided to turn out new product for their old systems instead of developing new consoles, as such no new consoles were on the horizon for the United States. However Atari after spending the last two years working out the paperwork for the 7800s, by 1986 the 7800 was ready for release.One of the few third party games for the 7800However, on October 15, 1985, everything changed.Unbeknownst to Atari, a Japanese company called Nintendo decided to bring their successful Famicom console over to the United States. In their ignorance Atari management ignored the Famicom, and even skipped the chance to publish the American version of the Famicom. This mistake alone would prove to be one of the most costly mistakes ever enacted by Atari and even the video game industry.Despite the fact that the American home console market was reeling from the video game crash of 1983, Nintendo still saw potential consumers. They were right; by 1986 the Nintendo Entertainment System had become an enormous hit with American consumers. With this in mind Tramiel and Atari continued with the release of the 7800, in hopes of reaping in the rewards of a newly awaken home console market.At launch the 7800 had twelve titles ready to play. Also the system was completely compatible with 2600 games, a feature that the previous 5200 console lacked. The public was excited, and the 7800 was poised to take over the gaming world, but unfortunately it didn't quite happen that way.Not exactly what we would call a "killer-app"Instead Tramiel and the rest of Atari management would make various business mistakes with the release of the system. The first of which was the fact that Atari had failed to promote and captivate developers to adopt the system and develop games for the 7800. Instead Atari would concentrate on advertising the complete backwards compatibility the 7800 had with the 2600 games instead of the 7800's own library of games. In fact only 10 games were developed and released by third party developers for the 7800 during its lifetime, 6 from Absolute Entertainment; 2 from Activision; and 2 from Froggo. This meant that the 7800 would have to rely on in-house development from Atari in order to supply games for the system. However was not enough to compete with the NES's or even the Sega Master System's rapidly expanding video game libraries. Also the launch for the system itself was poorly planned. Of the promised tweleves launch titles only three were actually available at the time of the system's launch. Not only that but the 7800 was poorly distributed amongst retailers making the system hard to find during its launch. As a result the 7800 was never able to recover from its rocky launch and in the end due to poorly conceived business decisions and a highly competitive console market failed to reach the market capitalization that Atari had hoped the system would obtain.US Cumulative Sales1986: 286,4171987: 1,599,978 (+1,313,561)1988: 3,023,955 (+1,423,977)1989: 3,679,308 (+655,353)1990: 3,772,751 (+93,443)DesignAtari Pro-Line ControllerAt the time of its release, the 7800 was initially billed as a graphical powerhouse. The new custom CPU and MARIA graphics chip that would power the system were capable of moving up to 100 objects on-screen (drawn with a line-buffer) at the same time and capable of displaying up to 25 colors on screen out of a 256 color palette. However, the system suffered from poor audio quality due to the fact that the system utilized the same sound chip from the 2600.The system is indeed compatible with almost 100% of the existing Atari 2600 game library, and all the existing 2600 controllers and peripherals are compatible as well. The 7800 was also sold with its own special Proline controllers which were meant to be an improvement over the 5200 design. The controller was a two-button controller, allowing for greater functionality than the classic one-button from the 2600 days.Along with inferior sound quality, the 7800 was also technically lacking compared to the NES in several other ways. The 7800's CPU and MARIA graphics chip both shared the same RAM memory address space, interrupting each other's cycles when attempting to access RAM and slowing down the system, whereas the NES had separate RAM memory address spaces for its CPU and PPU graphics chip, allowing both to run at full speeds. The 7800's coarse scrolling, with occasional 8-pixel jumps, was not as smooth as the NES's continuous pixel-by-pixel scrolling. The 7800 also lacked a tilemap engine like the NES, meaning the 7800 had to use more memory and processing to produce the same amount of graphics as the NES, and also had to draw tiled backgrounds using numerous sprites, slowing down the system and making it difficult for third-party developers to produce tiled side-scrolling games for the system. While the 7800 had a 320x200 resolution mode, it was resource-intensive, so most 7800 games usually ran at the lower-resolution 160x200 mode (compared to the NES's 256x224 resolution).LegacySales from the console were middling outside of the United Sates. With numerous third party developers quickly dropping support for the 7800 and gamers everywhere ignoring the console as a whole Atari pulled the plug on the 7800 by 1992 and ceased all production of the console. In the end Atari was no longer the console manufacturer that it once was, but unconvinced by their failure Atari would make one last ditch effort to regain their once dominant status in the video game console market.Technical Specifications* CPU: Custom 6502CSpeed: 1.79 MHz, drops to 1.19 MHz when the TIA or RIOT chips are accessed(note: This is Atari's custom 6502 known as SALLY which can be halted to allow other devices to control the bus)* RAM: 4 KB (2 6116 2Kx8 RAM ICs)* ROM: built in 4 KB BIOS ROM, 48 KB Cartridge ROM space without bankswitching* Graphics: MARIA custom graphics controller (halts CPU when in use)160x200 (160x240 PAL) resolution or 320x200 (320x240) resolution25 color palette out of 256 colors (16 hues * 16 luma), different graphics modes restricted the number of usable colors and the number of colors per spriteDirect Memory Access (DMA)Graphics clock: 7.16 MHz (halted when CPU in use)* I/O: Joystick and console switch IO handled byte 6532 RIOT and TIA* Ports: 2 joystick ports, 1 cartridge port, 1 expansion connector, power in, RF output* Sound: TIA video and sound chip, same as the 2600.

But what is a big deal in this case is reliability: some of the sensors will be installed in locations where it would be an all-day trip to push the reset button, so it's important that there are no mystery gotchas in the drivers that cause the system to flake out once a week, or even once a quarter.

SOUTHERN SHUNEH, Jordan (AP) — Israeli President Shimon Peres says it is possible for Israelis and Palestinians to overcome differences and skepticism over peacemaking.
He says it is time to restart serious negotiations and conclude a peace treaty that has long eluded the two sides in the conflict.
"We shouldn't lose the opportunity because it will be replaced by a great disappointment," he told reporters Sunday on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum meeting on the shores of the Dead Sea in Jordan.
"For my experience, I believe it's possible to overcome it. It doesn't require too much time," he said.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is expected in Jordan later in the day, said Palestinians and Israelis must make hard decisions to move toward direct negotiations.

Pope Aide Compares Britain to a 'Third-World Country'
Cardinal Walter Kasper, who helped plan Pope Benedict XVI's visit to England, will no longer be accompanying the Pope on his journey, "for health reasons." Certainly not because he just gave an interview comparing Britain to a "third world country."
Yes, that's right! According to Papal travel agent Walter Kasper (pictured), Britain is an awful place, filled with anti-Christian bigotry thanks to a widespread "aggressive new atheism," and when you arrive in Britain, "you sometimes think you've landed in a third world country."
Well, it is basically impossible to get a good slice of pizza in Great Britain. But that doesn't make it a "third-world" country, does it? (Second-world, at worst.) No, no, Vatican sources told the BBC, the "third world" comment was in reference to "the UK's multicultural society." Oh, of course! The United Kingdom is like "the third world" because both have non-white people. Well, nothing wrong with that, obviously.
Even so, Cardinal Kasper will no longer be accompanying Benedict to the United Kingdom. Hopefully he's prepared his boss adequately for his arrival in the third wold.

You know....Do anybody remember one of the few first episodes of Bleach, when Ichigo killed that hollow that was tormenting that bird? When the hollow was sliced, the portal to hell was opened up. I guess this movie is going to explore what that realm is like.

im new here and was looking for last few days for product that can fullfill my needs. Today i'v just registered here to ask for advice about product(s) that can work out for me.
I have AKG k702 headphones. I was trying it (actually it was a friendly recommendation) at the shop with "Kansas - Carry on my wayward son" and "Scorpions - Wind of Change" on iPod Touch 4(Sadly i had no other device to try them with.). It was "love at first sight".
I also readed at the threads here and all over the internet. They say that my headphones HARD to "drive".
Im using it with Creative X-Fi Titanium Pro and want to throw that sound card away, but i don't have better device to use them with.
So i want something that can "drive" them at my home (do not need it to be portable.). That DAC need to be able to receive digital signal (TOSLINK?) and should not be powered over USB.
My budget around 500$~ (I can make it a bit higher but it will take some time to wait) for DAC _and_ Amplifer (Want them to be separated devices).
Please, recommend me something that i can be satisfied with.

Comfy Boot
"I already have two pair of EMU boots that have a tall shaft. I love them so I thought I would give the shorter shaft a try. I love them just as much. The height is nice so that they are easier to get on rather than pulling at the higher ones to straighten them out. They gray is a nice color that goes with everything even with the dark brown strap. The inside is warm and fuzzy just as I would expect. EMU is always my first choice for boots."

Comfy, but Loose
"The Emu Angels boot is extremely comfortable, but lifts a bit in the heel when I walk. It appears that I got the right size, so I assume that this is just how it fits. I thought about returning them, but then decided that they were so warm, that I would just deal with the lifting."

Saturday, October 31st, Scott and I fished the Texas Lady Anglers SpookTackleLure Fall Tournament. It was a small informal fun tournament. This tournament included a women's, men's and youth division.
The day was beautiful on the water! Although we got a late start, Scott did very well. Since we got a late start, we chose to launch in a easy, convenient location that proved to have a good selection of fish actively feeding. It was a small marsh area in site of I-45 South. We had birds working, a falling tide and light winds.
My first cast, 100 yds from our launch, brought in a small 14" flounder. He was released to grow some more, but what a great way to start the day.
We paddled and fished in and out of the small channels throughout the march. As we approached the structure at the end of a channel, we split up to try different approaches. Scott chose a shallow ditch and I chose an open flat with groups of birds working all over the place.
Well, I saw several cruising reds worthy of a tournament day winning stringer. They were just not interested in the 1/4 oz silver spoon or the 3" shrimp I was throwing. Good thing about fishing from a kayak, I got several tries at getting their attention, with no luck. Had a 27"+ cruise up next to the kayak that didn't seem to care what or who I was. I changed my strategy and moved over to an area with swift moving water and lots of structure in hope of finding a trout or flounder. Instead I found a small red that definitely needed more time to mature.
In the meantime, Scott preceded to find some cruising reds feeding on small (very small) white shrimp. With the patience that comes from his experience hunting big reds in a march, he successfully lands two reds he wished he had on his last Redfish Series tournament day. Obviously, his small Bass Assassin shad (shrimp color) was working much better than my new penny shrimp.
For any of you who know my husband, you know he enjoys putting other people on fish as much as he loves catching them. So, we stayed just a little too long while he waited for me to get a shot at one of the big reds - it didn't happen:(
Although we weren't far from our launch site, it was too far for the few minutes we had left to get to make the weigh-in deadline. He would have placed second in the men's redfish catagory. The winning fish was caught in a similar type of location - close to home.
We had a lot of fun! It was a wonderful day on the water no matter what the outcome.
Next chance you get, enjoy this cool weather and go fishing! Take a kid fishing with you. You don't have to go far to get some trophy fish on the line.
Tight lines,
Camille (Mrs. Let's Go)

Today is the second sous-vide cooking experiment and I've picked Bison for the experiment. I debated on doing the Bison in the over at a low temp for a long period of time, but still went with the sous-vide method instead.
Ok, you'll need…
1 Bison Ribeye, sous-vide cooked to your liking
1 carrot, cubed
1 parsnip, cubed
1 Sweet Potato, cubed
1 Red Potato, you guessed it.. cubed
1/4 lb tilapia filet
Salt and Pepper to taste
Freshly chopped dill, oregano, thyme
And for the sauce…
1) 3/4 cup of heavy cream
2) 2 tbsp of honey
3) 1/2 stick of butter
Here we go…
1. In one pan, with a thin layer of peanut oil, place your root vegetables over a medium heat and fry (while stirring) for 3 to 6 minutes. Add salt and pepper while stirring. After cooking, remove from heat and drain. Place back into pan.
2. In a second pan, quickly heat your tilapia filet with a bit of olive oil over a medium flame. Cook for one to two minutes on each side… be careful as it will cook very quickly. After you've quickly pan seared it, remove and cut into chunks. (but save the pan)
3. Back to the original pan vegetable pan now. Add your chunked tilapia, as well as your dill, oregano, thyme and sir. Continue to heat/stir over a low heat for another 3 to 4 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Time for the honey butter sauce. In a small pot, over a medium flame, add your cream and butter (a little salt as well if you would like) and mix. When the butter is fully melted, whisk in the honey. Heat for another 2 minutes and remove from heat.
5. Transfer your vegetable/tilapia mix to the tilapia pan, set side.
6. Take your beet, shave slices off and roast for a few minutes under a high flame. Remove and set aside.
7. Take your vegetable plan, add a bit of olive oil and put it on a medium-high heat. Now it is time to sear your ribeye. Cook on each side for roughly 2 minutes each.
8. Plate and Enjoy!
I love the Vegetable/Tilapia Mix, especially with the Honey Butter Sauce. I am a huge fan of Bison, and usually do not season it when cooking… to me the natural taste is good enough. Now, if you do want to season it I would strongly suggest a light seasoning as one can easily overwhelm the natural flavors of the meat.

If there is one great thing about being a middle-aged man, coming in to work every day, rain or shine, it is this: you don't ever have to worry about how to dress. It's a no-brainer. A well-cut suit, plain shirt, subtly patterned tie and formal, polished shoes. That's it. There are small variations to consider, boldness of tie pattern, width of shirt collar, sobriety of sock. Hefty magazines are devoted to these infinitesimal themes, contradictory arguments shooting back and forth with the fervour of a medieval theological debate. But the commandments are pretty much set in stone. It's hard to go wrong.
Come the weekend, however, and the headaches begin. The scariest phrase in the English language, if you are a middle-aged man, appears on well-intentioned invitations: SMART CASUAL. That's just like life, waiting until you are sliding into downtime before it tosses an oxymoron into your sleepy brain.
By far the trickiest part of weekend dressing is footwear. Look: there is no smart casual in footwear. Smart is what you wear to work. Casual is trainers: comfortable, fashionable. A chairman of the Royal Opera House once declared that he never wanted to sit next to anyone wearing trainers. He was ridiculed. It was a seminal cultural-podiatric moment. We are the generation that invented trainers, and now we had earned the right to wear them, whenever, wherever.
Joe Ottaway, personal shopping consultant at Selfridges, grimaces. "I'm not a great trainer fan," he says. He admits that weekend footwear can be a thorny problem. "What is important is to find something that is age-appropriate." It seems, not for the first time, that I have missed a key trend in men's fashion. "The age of the well-dressed, well-groomed man is coming back." And it means, beyond a certain age, no trainers. What age might that be? "25," says Ottaway. Chilling: I could have a son who is too old to wear trainers.
Ottaway, who supervises the store's personal shopping service for men, is in a position to help. I'm here on the opening day of Selfridges' new men's shoe department: more than 15,000 sq ft featuring 250 brands and 72,000 pairs of shoes. We are in search of the perfect weekend shoe: something "sharp, smart, practical, hard-wearing, a soft brogue, a casual boot. Rather than a Nike Air Max."
There is the sublime and the ridiculous in the lavishly scaled hall – but I am not sure which is which. It is an undeniably impressive, airy space, which sets me thinking: could men's shoes become the new women's shoes? Is there a male equivalent of the fetishistic high heel, the all-purpose ballet pump, the giveaway blood-red sole? I am sceptical. For the record, I have never, ever engaged in a shoe conversation with a male friend. But times change, and to be well-heeled these days requires one to be well-heeled. For the hell of it, Ottaway shows me a £8,195 pair of crocodile-skin loafers from Tom Ford. I flee, heading for an extravagant collection of trainers. "Off limits!" he says. Now here is the problem, I protest. The concept of the perfect weekend shoe depends on what constitutes the perfect weekend. Mine may include a football match, a church service, shopping for art in Hoxton, taking long walks in the Cotswolds.
He is unfazed. He shows me a tan pair of brogues by Grenson (£205). "They are versatile, refined. You can go out in the evening with these. I would always recommend a great tan brogue." Not great for muddy fields, I say. Over to a strapping pair of fur-lined Boss boots in chocolate brown (£365). They are seriously comfortable, and rather dashing. Prada offers its customary mix of conceptual genius and ferocious impracticality. I finger a pair of sturdy-soled black shoes with stylised daisies all over them (£870). "Perfect if you are a fashionista," says Ottaway. "You have to go with the whole look to do it justice."
There is a corner devoted to Italian elegance: the pimply Tod's driving shoes and their imitators. I spy a pair of leopard-skin loafers. "He has a house on the Côte d'Azur, and a yacht waiting for him," says Ottaway. We linger over desert boots: "Indie music, Steve McQueen, cardigan, Triumph motorbike". He is no longer using verbs. We are in dreamland. It is time to narrow down our choice. I plump for the brogues and the boots, which covers pretty much everything you could do over a weekend. The only time I will ever need trainers again is to go jogging. And that's not the point of a weekend at all.

Soprano duo Stelle was created through the dynamic performances of City Opera SF, formed in November 2009. The duo of Jennifer Muhawi and Sibel Demirmen demonstrate a unique collaboration between two very distinguishable voices. One carries a rich, deeper sound, while the other complements with her colorful, "crystalline" coloratura range—a lovely combination that brings out the best in the romantic opera and pop-opera repertoire that Stelle performs so beautifully. City Opera SFwas born to offer extraordinary, classic, opera and pop-opera performances for the San Francisco Bay Area.

Tom James scored four times as Cardiff Blues edged a high-scoring LV= Cup clash over visiting Harlequins 45-40.
Tom James scored four times as Cardiff Blues edged a high-scoring LV= Cup clash over visiting Harlequins 45-40.
Forwards Luke Hamilton and Macauley Cook joined the forgotten Wales wing in crossing the Londoners' whitewash in the dead pool tie while Seb Stegmann (2), Ross Chisholm (2), Chris York and Sam Smith replied for Quins.
Ben Blair's kicking proved the difference against youthful opponents, the Blues full-back slotting 15 points on his return after 16 months out with a knee injury.
Flanker York gave Harlequins an early lead and fly-half Rory Clegg landed the first of four conversions before Blair kicked a penalty ahead of Stegmann stealing a loose ball and trotting over.
James finished from close range to reduce the Blues' deficit and the flyer then created an opening for number eight Hamilton to put the hosts ahead for the first time.
The left wing scored his second before half-time and claimed his hat-trick early in the second period after being sent through a gap by the soft hands of Gavin Henson.
Wing Smith and full-back Chisholm raced 60 yards to touch down in the left-hand corner but the Blues regained control through lock Cook and James' fourth try for a big 45-28 advantage.
Injuries left the home team down to 14 men in the closing minutes, which allowed Stegmann and Chisholm to cross for late scores.
The scorers:
For Cardiff Blues:
Tries: Tries James 4, Hamilton, Cook
Cons: Blair 6
Pen: Blair
For Harlequins:
Tries: York, Stegmann 2, Smith, Chisholm 2
Cons: Clegg 4, Urdapilleta

Exeter 3-31 Bath
Bath winger Tom Biggs grabbed a hat-trick as Bath completed a 31-3 LV Cup victory over tryless Exeter on Sunday.
The win ended a four-game winning streak for Exeter and set up a semi-final showdown with Leicester for the West Country men.
In contrast, Exeter will now be focused solely on league matters after failing to make the semi-finals of the tournament.

Everyone's aware how priceless emergency medical technicians are to our communities, but there is much more to the story. Few of us consider the personal cost each EMT bears for that service.
EMTs suffer great hardship during disasters. In the Crandall Canyon Mine event Emery County EMT teams have been at the site and at the ready every minute. This means all members are doubling up in order to provide the same dedicated assistance for everyday emergencies.
Our Emery County volunteer EMTs are paid a moderate wage when they are on duty and 50 cents an hour when on call. However, in order to qualify to serve they must pay for their own courses. Uniforms are mandatory, but EMTs must purchase their own. Meetings, trainings, and travel to and from these are not compensated. Each EMT carries a "jump kit" with them everywhere so they can be available to us more quickly, and when they encounter emergencies at off duty times. The kit may include stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, tourniquet, scissors and bandages, splinting items, gloves and face masks. Face masks for CPR are about $10 each and are not reusable. All this is purchased with their own money.
You cannot put a price on the time away from home and jobs. Understanding employers have to schedule around on-call days, and families and babysitters must be at the ready, too.
Support your EMTs.

January 29, 2013
CHICAGO – January 29, 2013. Governor Pat Quinn today welcomed the call by President Barack Obama to take immediate action on immigration reform in America:
"Immigration reform in our nation is long overdue, and I applaud President Obama for his comprehensive plan to fix our broken immigration system. This plan will strengthen border security while providing a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States. Most importantly, it will keep families together.
"I am proud that Illinois is leading the nation when it comes to welcoming all people. Just this week, I signed a bill to improve traffic safety and ensure that undocumented immigrants in Illinois will be able to be properly licensed to drive. I also fought for the Illinois Dream Act, a historic law that is opening up education opportunities that will help Illinois children pursue their dreams.
"We must always ensure that everybody is in and nobody is left out."

text: Yes, but Doflamingo has always, in my opinion, been one crazy son of buck, and that can only mean he is as dangerous as Mihawk is strong. While not a strong comparison, we see the same situation play out between Hawkins and Apoo: Hawkins appears to be the more reserved, yet powerful of the two despite Apoo holding a larger bounty than him, likely do to Apoo's more wreckless and unpredictable behavior. Again, it's likely we're verging on another war of the longest rage posts as we discuss this topic, but nevertheless, it will certainly be a relevant topic as we come to witness how lethal Doflamingo really is in the OP universe.

By Robbie Ward/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Tupelo voters will decide in just two days whether to promote the current City Council president and longtime businessman to the mayor's office or go with a political newcomer to city government.
With the city showing little growth in the 2010 Census compared to surrounding communities with plenty of land to build new houses and with some older neighborhoods battling decline, Republican Fred Pitts, 70, and Democrat Jason Shelton, 37, agree on challenges Tupelo faces but not on who should lead the city for a new four-year term. The job pays $92,242 annually.
Candidates have debated about the role of government on the local level, how to improve the community and ways to seek out more accessibility and communication between City Hall and residents. Like other issues in the campaign, the candidates can't agree on who is the most fiscally conservative or responsible in the race.
Pitts and Shelton also disagree on the importance of political party in local elections. A traditional Republican stronghold in state and national elections, Tupelo has had a Republican mayor all but four years since the 1970s. Pitts and the state GOP want to continue that trend, having state party leaders in Jackson visit to make endorsements.
Area residents soon will receive recorded phone calls from Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, who visited Pitts' campaign office recently to make calls on his behalf. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn also have endorsed Pitts in trips to Tupelo.
Pitts has said Republicans in leadership roles in state government and Congress can help the city with a Republican mayor continuing to serve.
"I think being a Republican mayor helps attract business and jobs to our city," he said.
During the campaign, Pitts has pointed out that Shelton attended President Barack Obama's inaugurations this year and four years ago. Knowing he needs conservative support to win, Shelton has distanced himself from any national issues like abortion and gay marriage and tried to focus on city issues.
"I don't know a Republican or Democratic way to fix a pothole," Shelton has repeated in response to partisanship in the mayoral race.
With the mayoral election having full attention in city politics as the only contested race in Tuesday's general election, Pitts has acknowledged a stronger challenge from his opponent than initially expected and isn't ready to call himself the front-runner.
"We'll have to see about that after the votes are counted," he said.
Pitts has had his eye on succeeding Mayor Jack Reed Jr. ever since Reed announced in November his plans not to seek a second term. For the most part, Pitts has said his administration will be a de facto second term for Reed, looking to redevelop struggling neighborhoods with affordable housing to retain and attract more middle-class families. He also champions public investments made during his time leading the City Council, such as the new aquatic center under construction in east Tupelo and a plan to redevelop the area around West Jackson Street.
"This is a time when it's hard to find developers to build," he said. "We have to continue to use seed money to bring back these neighborhoods."
Shelton said he tried to convince a dozen people to run for mayor before they convinced him to turn his passion for Tupelo into a campaign effort. He has served on the Mayor's Quality of Life task force and believes the city needs a fresh face to help recruit younger people to the city. He also believes the city needs to loosen up on regulations and ordinances, which he believes has contributed to fewer residents moving here in recent years.
"If it's too difficult to build a home in the city of Tupelo and other cities are providing a better option, we can't be surprised if they don't come here," Shelton said during a campaign debate. "We have to make it easier to do business with City Hall."
Pitts has supported plans for the city to provide down payment loans for residents looking to buy homes in the city in response to federal loans that do not require any down payments to buy houses in surrounding rural areas and smaller cities. However, he has changed his mind on the issue after getting pushback from residents, and now he says he'll instead lobby the state's congressional delegation to help change the federal program he sees as unfair to Tupelo.
"The first phone calls I will make in office will be to Senator (Roger) Wicker and Congressman (Alan) Nunnelee," Pitts has said. "This seems to be a problem larger than city government."
Pitts supporters tend to say they want a proven leader who knows how City Hall works and has experience to ensure Tupelo is successful in the future.
"Fred has more experience in leadership and city government," said Ashley Prince, a Pitts campaign volunteer. "He and his wife haven't gotten involved just during the campaign season."
Many Shelton supporters say they like the idea of a bringing a younger view to lead the city, believing he'll have more energy.
"I'm a strong Republican and support Mr. Shelton," said Carolyn Mauldin, a former City Council member. "I like the way he speaks and connects to the younger groups."
In the homestretch of the mayoral campaign, both candidates aren't taking for granted areas they hope to win big on Tuesday. In recent days, Shelton has campaigned at businesses in east Tupelo, the area where he grew up, while Pitts campaigned in north Tupelo.
Stopping in Johnnie's Drive In to pass out campaign information and ask for votes, Shelton received a warm reception.
"We need kind of a younger, fresher view of things," Hank Bierman said while having a meal with a co-worker.
Walking along Lakeshire Drive knocking on doors on Friday, Pitts found many supporters and appeared optimistic even when he saw yard signs of his opponent.
"You never know when there might be a split marriage," he said.

"Our shower planning team fell in love with this trendy chic chalkboard design even though it wasn't what we were originally looking for, and it has ended up giving us some really fun inspiration for other details of the shower too. Tonight I dropped off a few extra invitations for the mommy-to-be to have, and her exact words were "OMG these are the cutest!! I LOVE them!!" That reaction from our special first time mommy was worth every penny spent! And as always, the order arrived right on time, and the paper quality & design detail were superb."
"I loved everything about the card. The over all qaulity was FANTASTIC everything was perfect. I can not wait to send them out."
"Love these cards! so cute and perfect. I had a last minute change and Tinyprints edited it for me before producing the invites. I also think I should have ordered more than I did. We have a huge family and I want everyone to have a card!"
"I started my order on-line, but had a question, so I called the customer service number. The representative was very helpful and even saw something that I hadn't, so we were able to fix it right away. I'm very impressed with the quality of the card stock and I liked quite a few of the choices offered for what I needed. I will definitely use this company again for any printing needs I have."
"Very pleased! Excellent quality and shipping was fast. Very satisfied with this product. Backside of card is cute too. Able to work well with theme of the baby shower."

Sexy shoes BUT....
"The shoes are absolutely gorgeous, however, contrary to what most ladies have written they do not run long but true to size so if you normally buy size 9 shoes, buy a 9, not an 8.5. The other issue is the comfort, there is very little padding in this shoe so do not plan on doing a lot of standing or dancing unless you buy some extra padding. If you're willing to make those fixes you will be more than happy with the BM Wysdom."

Patrick Burke on You Can Play's Progress, Pride Toronto, and Criticism of his Dad
Steve Dangle
July 10 2012 11:12PM
About five months ago, Patrick Burke (scout for the Philadelphia Flyers and son of Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke), Brian Kitts, and Glenn Witman launched the You Can Play Project. As their website describes, their mission is to ensure equality, respect, and safety for all athletes, without regard to sexual orientation. Since their launch, You Can Play's PSA videos have made waves around the sports world, featuring both professional and amateur athletes from the hockey world and beyond.
I recently spoke with Patrick Burke about You Can Play's involvement in its first Pride Parade, progress the project has made since its launch, and his own personal experience. Patrick also addresses the claim some people have made that his dad, Brian Burke, should not have been involved in the parade because it landed on July 1st, the opening of the NHL's free agency period.
This is You Can Play's first time marching in the Pride Parade, correct?
We launched in March so this was the first parade actually that anyone from You Can Play had marched in. It was exciting for us. Going forward, myself, Brian and Glenn [Witman], my cofounders, will be looking to do more. And I should say, because I just misspoke, Tommy Wingels from the San Jose Sharks, the week before the Toronto Pride Parade, actually marched in Chicago Pride representing You Can Play and representing the San Jose Sharks.
Do you know how many of these Pride Parades are going on around North America?
Almost every major city has their own Pride Parade. The biggest ones out there are Toronto, New York's is pretty huge, Chicago's is pretty big, Boston was actually pretty big this year, but I mean really every major North American city, with a few exceptions at this point, has some version of a Pride Parade.
Was this your first Pride Parade? I know your dad has marched before.
This was my first time marching. I attended parades before as a spectator, but this is the first time where I'd ever felt that there was any interest in having me March, first of all, and that I felt like I should be out there. It was fun. It was me and Rick Mercer and my dad, and PFLAG which is just a great group that does a lot of great work.
What were some of the goals you were trying to achieve with You Can Play's participation in Pride Toronto?
In terms of You Can Play, from our perspective, we thought that being there was important because the message that we stand for in the athletic community is something that isn't often seen at pride parades. You do get, for example, the Toronto Gay Hockey Association march, there was a gay rugby team there. So you get specific teams toward gay athletes, but you often don't get straight people from the sports world there. It's a fairly rare event. When Tommy [Wingels] in Chicago, he also marched with Vincent LoVerde who played in the East Coast League.
I called a friend of mine who works with GLAD and said 'Hey we're working on a follow up piece. Can you give me a list of all the other athletes who marched in parades this year?' and he said, 'You guys are the list. There was no one else.' So in whatever it is, in the let's say 50-75 pride parades around North America, there were two professional athletes who marched, and they were Tommy Wingels and Vincent LoVerde. I'm a scout. There's no glory there. No one knows who I am or cares about who I am, but having anybody there from the sports world who's willing to step up and say, 'Hey, the sports world is coming! We're getting better, and we're coming around on this.' I thought it was important that, that voice be represented there.
You sounded disappointed with the two number, but it's also two more than there were before. Can you talk about the evolution of the You Can Play Project or the process?
I'm not disappointed with the two who did it because Tommy and Vinny are awesome. You Can Play did not ask any athletes to march this year. We felt we're still a little too new and asking guys to do more than just do the PSAs was a little too aggressive for us, so we didn't asked anybody to be in there, but when you look at the hundreds of corporations and various groups and how well-represented every other group in society is, we're a little behind the eight ball.
In terms of the evolution of You Can Play and hockey culture, it think it's been a good couple months. Back in November when we started emailing guys, we went from, 'Ok, we're a little nervous', 'Let's see if these guys will do it.' We were explaining to guys, 'No, no, no it's just this, it's not this,' 'All we need is ten minutes of your time,' and thing like that. Now, hockey players call me. They say 'Hey, I really want to get involved. What can I do?' We've been getting a ton of the ones that are, 'My brother-in-law is gay, my sister-in-law is gay, my sister's best friend,' you know. So all that type of stuff where the athletes are coming to us saying, "Hey, I've got a personal connection with this issue. I'd really like to be involved.' The fact that we've gone from asking and convincing people to be involved in it, to now at the point where it's almost cool. It's almost trendy for athletes to do this in hockey. It's something that the best players are doing. It's something that the guys want to be a part of because it's something that's cool to be a part of, so I think that's a big, big deal.
I think I understand what you mean by trendy.
I don't mean it like they're doing it like a style. I just mean it's something that's important to these guys, and for decades athletes have been told and trained that they're not supposed to speak out on this issue. I mean really, you look at athletes in terms of political causes, this is one of the last ones for athletes to ever get behind. Nowadays, they're living in these major cities, they have gay neighbours and gay friends, their wife hangs out with gay people, and it's no longer this big, weird, foreign thing that they're not exposed to. Now they know what these people are going through.
Has this been easier than you thought?
In terms of getting culture to shift, yes. In terms of day-to-day workload, it's been much much much more than I thought it would be.
Has being in the public eye been a part of that? You mentioned that nobody knows who you are, but I don't think that's true anymore.
Yeah I'm doing interviews, and yeah I'm doing the rare appearance and that type of stuff, but it's more of the day-to-day leg work of running a charity that's taking up the time. Sending emails, reaching out to corporate sponsors, and that type of stuff. There's been nothing about being anything like a public figure that's changed anything about my life.
Any final thoughts about You Can Play, Pride, and your experience?
It was a fun experience. The people who run Toronto Pride do a great job. We were very lucky to march with Irene Miller and PFLAG. It's just a great group. I really think it's something that's worth seeing and worth attending for anyone who hasn't been. It's a good time, you go down, drink a couple beers, and watch the parade. Next year any of your readers who haven't been to one should go down and take a look.
If we can't bring people together with beers and a parade, I don't know what you can do.
Exactly! It was 100 degrees out, everyone was drinking, and every girl there was dressed to impress. I kept walking around going 'Why aren't more straight guys here right now?'
Did you want to touch on the Leafs "controversy"?
The Pride Parade was on July 1st. That was the first day of free agency, and now we're seeing some random idiots who are using that to say that my dad wasn't doing his job. If you want to criticize moves that the Leafs have made or haven't made over the past few years, that's fine. That's how sports works. That's what the media and the fans are there for, to say 'I don't like this trade, I don't like that trade, I like this signing, I don't like that signing.'
But for anyone to use You Can Play and to use Toronto Pride as a means to criticize the Maple Leafs and my dad and the job that's being done there is just over the top in its ignorance. It shows that they're not paying attention to how much he cares. It shows that they're now aware of how cell phones work if you needed to be in touch with somebody. It shows they're not aware of how great of a support staff the Toronto Maple Leafs have with Dave Nonis and Dave Poulin and the rest of them there. It shows they're not aware of how free agency works.
These players don't get on the phone and get recruited by a GM for hours and hours on July 1st. The GM calls the agent and says, 'Hey. We want to sign Steve. We'll give him two years at $2 million.' and the agent says, 'Well he'll go there, but it's got to be three years at $2.5 million.' and they say 'Ok. Done.' That's it, with the exception of the occasional big guy who does recruiting trips and that type of stuff. These contracts get done in a matter of minutes. All you need to know is what that guy's price range is. Anyone who's using this to criticize the Maple Leafs is just embarrassing himself.
I recently read an in-depth article on the long process of how the Zach Parise and Ryan Suter deals in Minnesota got done, and there didn't seem to be much mention of July 1st.
I can't comment specifically on either Suter or Parise just because I don't know, but I know the bigger name guys, historically, guys who like to take a week or so and take their time and find their way around, July 1st means almost nothing to them. You send them an offer that day, they wait for offers, they go visit the city, and then yes, there's some recruitment involved. Then they call back and say 'Who's my defence partner going to be?' 'Who's my center going to being?' 'I want to talk to your head coach, I want to know how he's going to use me.' That type of stuff. That happens with some of the big star guys. Those deals don't get done on July 1st.
As I said, anyone who's using July 1st and the Pride Parade to criticize my father is just absolutely missing the point on how this works. He was on the phone probably every four or five minutes, checking constantly, checking regularly. He took a couple calls during the parade. I know for a fact there are media people out there who took pictures and video of him on the phone while marching, and he was in constant contact. If for whatever reason a free agent had said 'I really need to talk to Brian Burke right now', that could have happened within about 30 seconds. If you want to criticize the moves that are made or not made or anything like that, that's fine. I get it. Don't drag us into that stuff.

Excellent debut Steve! Proud to have Burke as the face and GM of the Leafs.
July 10 2012, 11:28PM
Great piece Steve. Keep it up.
There once again the You Can Play Project will be the path of understanding of all people. To end the hurt of miss spoken word. To see the LBGT
My cat Buzzer walked across the key pad. as people that come from all walks of life.
I have showed my friends there are people who care about someones feelings. What they been through by coming out.
The Gay Pride Parade is to show the world they are people having fun. One of the groups out here in San Francisco it's call Dykes on motorcycles. They are beautiful ladies who are having a lot of fun because they are gay.
Most people don't realize the gay pride movement stated out here in the Castro district of San Francisco. Come and feel the pride of a group of kind gentle people

Is anybody actually using the mac bible research software (you all know what it is called) that now runs native on non-apple platforms? Would be interested in hearing your experience about stability and functionality issues. Is this release a public beta with price tag or an actually fully functional system?
I have friends that use the non-apple platform. They might be tempted to sign-up for an entry level biblical languages package. The problem is the runs-native-on-non-apple-platform could take years to become stabilized and the functional equivalent of the Mac version.

Modification to Federal Coal Lease
UTU-88554 and UTU-06039
USDA Forest Service Manti-La Sal
National Forest
Bureau of Land Management Price Field Office
The Manti-La Sal National Forest (MLNF) and the Price Field
Office (PFO) of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) invite you to
comment on a federal coal lease modification proposal.
The BLM Utah State Office notified the MLNF that PacifiCorp
applied to modify two federal leases, UTU-88554 and UTU-06039, by
adding a total of 1180 acres of unleased federal lands to the existing
leases. Coal from the existing leases is mined from the PacifiCorp
owned Deer Creek Mine. The application was made to prevent bypass of
federal coal reserves both within the existing lease and the proposed
lease modification areas and to extend the life of the mine.
The two lease modification areas are located about 15 miles
northwest of Orangeville, UT and located in sections 22, 23, 24, 25,
26, & 27, T. 16 S., R. 6 E., SLB&M. The modification areas include
National Forest System lands (NFS) managed by the MLNF. The coal
estate is administered by the BLM.
The BLM is required, by law, to consider leasing federally-owned
minerals for economic recovery. With respect to the NFS lands, the
MLNF is considering whether to consent to the BLM modifying the
Federal coal leases by adding approximately 860 acres to Federal lease
UTU-88554 and adding approximately 320 acres to UTU-06039. If the MLNF
consents to the modifications, appropriate stipulations will be added
to the leases to protect non-mineral resources.
If the lease modifications are issued, the coal would be accessed
and recovered by underground longwall mining methods through the Deer
Creek Mine. At the leasing stage, the federal agencies evaluate the
effects of subsidence (i.e. the land surface lowered as a result of
mining) on surface resources, and identify where surface resources may
require specific protection from subsidence or foreseeable surface
uses. Under a foreseeable mine plan scenario for these lease
modifications, there could be some surface subsidence but no surface
facilities or additional roads would be needed. Some of the acres
within the modification areas are located within the East Mountain
Inventoried Roadless Area.
This proposed leasing in and of itself does not authorize actual
mining, however; it does evaluate the need for conditions for possible
subsequent use of the land surface.
The MLNF Forest Supervisor is the Authorized Officer for this
discretionary consent decision to the BLM for the two lease
modifications. Given the purpose and need, the Forest Supervisor will
review the proposed action, the alternatives, and the environmental
consequences to decide the following:
Whether or not to consent to the BLM modifying the existing
federal coals leases by adding 860 acres to Federal lease UTU-88554
and adding 320 acres to UTU-06039; and
Prescribe conditions (stipulations) needed for protection of
non-coal resources.
For BLM, the Utah State Director is the Authorized Officer and
will decide whether or not to modify the existing coal lease under the
Minerals Leasing Act, as amended, and the federal regulations under
43CFR 3400 based on the recommendation of the PFO Field Office
It is anticipated that the environmental analysis will be
documented in an Environmental Assessment (EA). A No Action
alternative and other alternatives that may develop during the public
comment period will be considered.
This opportunity to comment serves two purposes:
As scoping for this proposal, under the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act, for both the BLM and the Forest
Service; and
As the Forest Service comment period required per 36 CFR 215.3 for
For the Forest Service, the Responsible Official is the Forest
Supervisor. Please send written comments to: Liz Close, Acting Forest
Supervisor, Manti-La Sal National Forest, 599 West Price River Dr.,
Price, UT 84501; or fax: 435-637-4940. Comments may also be delivered
to the above address during regular business hours of 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, excluding federal holidays. Electronic
comments should be emailed at:
E-mailed comments must be submitted in one of the following
formats: *.doc, *.txt, *.rtf or .pdf. Please note in the subject line
that the comments are for Federal Coal Lease Modification UTU-88554
and UTU-06039.
The opportunity to comment ends 30 days following the date of
publication of this legal notice in the Price Sun Advocate. This
decision is subject to appeal pursuant to Forest Service regulations
36 CFR 215. Only those who submit timely comments during this comment
period will be accepted as potential appellants. Each individual or
representative from each organization, submitting comments must either
sign the comments or otherwise verify identity in order to attain
appeal eligibility. Comments received, including names and addresses
of those who comment, will be considered part of the public record for
this project and will be available for public inspection. Comments
should include the information required pursuant to 36 CFR
215.6(a)(3), as published in the Federal Register on June 4, 2003.
All comments will be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). Please be aware that if you comment in
response to this solicitation, any personal identifying information
including your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and any
other information that you include will be considered part of the
public record and may be made available for public inspection at any

The Canadian Football Hall of Fame welcomed six new members on Thursday, headlined by former CFL players Earl Winfield, Miles Gorrell and Dan Ferrone.
Also among the list of six inductees are long-time CFL official Jake Ireland, former University of Alberta standout Brian Fryer and legendary St. Francis Xavier head coach Don Loney.
The announcement was made on TSN SportsCentre by 2012 Canadian Football Hall of Fame inductee Damon Allen.
Winfield spent his entire 11-year career with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, was named an All-Canadian twice and appeared in the 1989 Grey Cup. He is fourth all-time in the CFL with 41 100-yard receiving games, 11th for the combined yards with 14,804, and second with 11 punt returns for touchdowns. He is also the Tiger-Cats all-time leader with 10,119 receiving yards and 75 receiving touchdowns. In 2005, he became a member of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Wall of Honour.
Gorrell enjoyed a 19-year CFL career with five teams, most notability with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, where he won his only Grey Cup in 1986. Upon his retirement in 1996, Gorrell ranked fourth all-time on the CFL service list with 321 games played.
Ferrone played in 213 games, mostly with the Toronto Argonauts and a brief stint with the Calgary Stampeders from 1981-92. He appeared in four Grey Cups with the Argonauts, winning twice. Off the field, he was the President of the Canadian Football League Players Association (CFLPA) from 1993-2002.
Ireland was a CFL official for 555 games over 29 seasons, starting in 1979. He was an official in 16 Grey Cups, and refereed four straight Grey Cups from 1985 to 1989.
During his four seasons at the University of Alberta, Fryer finished second all-time in Canada West history in the following categories; most receiving yards in a season (1,068), most receptions in a season (58), most receiving touchdowns in a season (14), most receiving yards (2,655) and most receptions (136). He was became the second Canadian trained at a Canadian university to be drafted and signed by a NFL team (Washington Redskins). In 1978, he signed with the Edmonton Eskimos and was part of the dynasty that won five straight Grey Cups.
During his 17-year tenure as head coach at St. Francis Xavier University, Loney led his team to a 133-31-2 record, nine conference titles, four Atlantic Bowl Championships, six Jewett Trophy Championships, and one Canadian College Bowl Championship. As a player, he played eight seasons with the Toronto Argonauts and Ottawa Rough Riders, winning two Grey Cups along the way. He is also a member of the Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.

The leech was indispensable in 19th Century medicine for bloodletting. Bloodletting is a practice believed to be a cure for anything from headaches to gout. It is what Demi Moore recently received to "detoxify" her blood. Bloodletting was abandoned by the medical community long ago in favor of scientific medical advances.
Use of leeches underwent a renaissance of sorts in the area of modern plastic reconstructive surgery and particularly in microsurgery transplantation. Credit for this renewed interest in leeches is given to two Slovenian surgeons, M. Derganc and F. Zdravic, who described their use to prevent venous congestion of skin-flap transplants in an article in the British Journal of Plastic Surgery in 1960. These surgeons credit their own use of leeches to a Parisian surgeon, one Philippe-Frédéric, who reported in 1836 that he had used leeches to restore circulation following reconstruction of a nose.
Leeches are most following reattachment or transplantation surgery (fingers, toes, ears, etc) and in flap surgery when the venous outflow is poor -- hence venous congestion. Many flaps and reattachment fail due to venous congestion rather than the arterial blood supply. It is much easier to attach the two ends of the arteries as arteries are thick-walled and relatively easy to suture. The veins, however, are thin-walled and especially difficult to suture, especially if the tissue is badly damaged. It is not uncommon to get blood to flow in the reattached arteries but not veins. When that happens, the venous circulation is severely compromised. The blood going into (arterial) the reattached finger/flap becomes congested, or stagnant due to the poor outflow (venous). The reattached portion turns blue and lifeless and is at serious risk of being lost. This is when the leech comes in handy.
Treatment of venous congestion includes
- Removing tight dressings and sutures
- Increasing the elevation to promote venous drainage via gravity
- Leeches are effective for treating venous congestion in replantation
- Nail plate removal and the application of a heparin-soaked sponge to the nail bed has been described for distal replantations (fingers or toes) when a vein could not be repaired and the patient refused leeches (Gordon, 1985).
- Finally, operative revision can be considered. This is less successful for salvaging a failing replant because of venous congestion rather than arterial insufficiency.
So how do leeches work? The rationale behind the use of leeches in surgical procedures is fairly straightforward. The key to success is the exploitation of a unique property of the leech bite -- the creation of a puncture wound that bleeds literally for hours. The leech's saliva contains substances that
- anesthetizing the wound area (a local anesthetic substance)
- dilate the blood vessels to increase blood flow (a histamine-like vasodilator that promotes local bleeding)
- prevent the blood from clotting [1)Hirudin, a direct thrombin inhibitor and 2) Hyaluronidase, which increases the local spread of leech saliva through human tissue at the site of the wound and also has antibiotic properties]
Complications of Leech Therapy
Aeromonas hydrophila infections are a recognized complication of postoperative leech application, with reported incidences ranging from 2.4% to 20%. Prophylactic antibiotics are often recommended. In the event infection develops, early diagnosis and immediate initiation of an empirical intravenous antibiotic therapy are essential.
Another major concern in the use of leeches is their migration from the surgical site, possibly into the body or the wound itself. It has been suggested that you attach one end of a surgical suture to the leech and tie the free end to a firm object or dressing.
Leech therapy or bloodletting will not detoxify your body. Blood loss is not how the body detoxifies itself. Our bodies use the kidneys and liver for "detoxifying" or "filtering" the blood. I would politely suggest that if Demi thinks that bloodletting detoxifies her body, maybe she could donate blood so someone will truly benefit from it.

I will never accept this sick, demented notion that Elway and Favre were better than Marino. I don't give a **** about the championships, Danny was a better player than they were.
Seahawks don't have anyone on the list...so at least we're better than them
The Patriots finished dead last in the AFC East the year before and were expected to be again the doormat of the AFC East.
That year the Patriots ran a 10-2 record with a back QB drafted in the 6th round the year before after going 1-3 to start the season. It was the year of the 'tuck rule' and without that gimme by the refs the Patriots would have been out of the playoffs. It is also the year when more and more fans and opponents complaint about the lax holding rules applied to the Patriots OL. This accusation has manifested itself over the years.
I am currently reading the book Spygate, The Untold Story by O'Leary.

The Distressed Neighborhoods Pilot (DNP) project was designed to provide additional community policing officers to poor and high-crime neighborhoods in 18 targeted cities. The selected police departments received three years of 100-percent federal funding for the awarded entry-level officers' salaries and benefits.
Each targeted site selected individual neighborhoods to focus on under the DNP. Experienced community policing officers were redeployed into those neighborhoods to develop or expand community policing efforts. Some sites spent the entire three-year grant period concentrating efforts on their originally selected neighborhoods, while others opted for mobility and rotation among their neighborhood selections. Each site redeployed their officers into a targeted neighborhood for a minimum of 6 to 12 months.
All DNP sites received assistance from multiple divisions within the COPS Office. The Grants Administration Division, responsible for administering grant funds, coordinated with the Training and Technical Assistance Division to assist sites with community policing strategies within their targeted neighborhoods. Additionally, the Program, Policy Support, and Evaluation Division oversaw a preliminary evaluation process during the early part of the program.
DNP, which was formally announced on May 29, 1998, awarded nearly $116 million to 18 targeted sites for the hiring of more than 780 new community policing officers.
COPS funded sites in Bessemer, AL; Birmingham, AL; Fresno, CA; San Bernardino, CA; Hartford, CT; Ft. Pierce, FL; Miami, FL; Chicago, IL; Monroe, LA; Baltimore, MD; Flint, MI; Muskegon, MI; Greenville, MS; Camden, NJ; Buffalo, NY; Cleveland, OH; El Paso, TX; and McAllen, TX.
