A John Moonlight try made the difference as Canada beat the United States 16-9 on Saturday in the Pacific Nations Cup.
A John Moonlight try made the difference as Canada beat the United States 16-9 in Edmonton on Saturday in the Pacific Nations Cup.
With strong winds and heavy rain that made ball handling difficult, the hosts took charge in the first half thanks to an early penalty from Connor Braid.
Before the midway point of the first half, an errant pass from a US line-out just meters from their own line was grabbed by Moonlight, who only had to take a few steps before diving over the line for what proved to be the only try of the match. Braid's conversion extended Canada's lead to 10-0.
United States full-back Adam Siddal, who was on debut, opened the scoring for his side with a three-opointer to see the Eagles trail 10-3 at the break.
Coming into the second half, a hungry United States outfit shifted the momentum and they got reward for their efforts with another Siddal penalty in the 50th minute.
With a strong defence and a confident attack building, the United States seemed destined to score their first try of the contest, but settled for another Sidall penalty that narrowed the gap to 10-9.
However, Braid added two more penalty goals within minutes of each other to rebuild Canada's advantage and seal the victory.
"We had a couple of line breaks go against us, but overall I think we were pretty comfortable in defence and held firm," Canada defence coach Clive Griffiths told the IRB website.
"A few of the boys hadn't played for quite a while but we stuck to our guns and we're delighted to get the win and to prevent them from scoring.
"Even though we won, the last two times we played them we conceded five or six tries which we weren't happy about. So to do this was massive."

Edward Baig review: Facebook Home and the HTC First
NEW YORK — HTC is poised to bring out the lovely new HTC One smartphone that I reviewed favorably (with a few reservations) earlier this week. I have no idea how many the Taiwanese handset maker will ultimately sell, but HTC One belongs on a short list of the best smartphones you can buy.
Yet, many of the people who I've run across seem even more curious about an HTC phone with not quite the same premium pedigree: the mid-tier HTC First, which hits AT&T stores on Friday.
The reason is that the First is also known as the "Facebook Phone." It's the first handset with the social network's new Facebook Home user interface preloaded. Starting Friday, you'll also be able to fetch Facebook Home in the Google Play store for a few compatible devices: the HTC One X; HTC One X+; Samsung Galaxy S III; and Samsung Galaxy Note II. Facebook says that other devices, including the aforementioned HTC One and the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S4, will also be compatible. It'll take awhile longer, but Facebook also hopes to bring Facebook Home to tablets.
You certainly won't mistake the Facebook connection on the HTC First — a capable but by no means exceptional Android smartphone. The circled Facebook "f" icon is lightly etched on the back of the rubbery handset, sandwiched between logos for HTC and AT&T. The "f" is the first thing you see when you power on the device. Though you can disable it, the Facebook Home screen is your designated landing spot by default — it replaces the regular lock screen and home screen. It's also the first phone to preload Facebook-owned Instagram.
A few words about the First hardware: It doesn't pack the punch of its upscale sibling, but like the HTC One, it runs the latest version of Android called Jelly Bean, and is compatible with AT&T's 4G LTE network. It will cost $99.99 with a two-year contract and come in four colors. (The AT&T version of the HTC One starts at $100 more.) First comes with 16 gigabytes of storage, has the requisite front and rear cameras, and has a modest 4.3-inch 720P high-definition display.
What draws you is the Facebook connection, and that really is the bottom line: Do you like Facebook enough to make it the centerpiece of your phone, either on First or one of the compatible Facebook handsets? Facebook has done a very nice job with the immersive Facebook Home interface, if you can live with having Facebook in your face all the time. On the HTC One, for example, HTC is pushing an interface known as BlinkFeed, and it includes feeds from Facebook. But you can also view feeds from Twitter, as well as from numerous news and other content providers.
On Facebook Home, a fresh stream of pictures shared by your Facebook friends takes over the entire display — pictures pan slowly, right to left, then left to right, bringing to mind a special effect in a Ken Burns documentary, and they look beautiful. Every few seconds, a new picture takes over, or you can manually swipe from one picture to the next. Facebook calls this Cover Feed, and it's a delightful way to keep up with your Facebook pals, at least with the feeds that show up here. You won't see everything, but Facebook says status updates, photos (from Facebook and/or Instagram), and page posts are among the things included at launch. You won't see offers or videos initially. Among the factors that determine what you do get to see: Facebook "likes," relevance and the size of the photos. If you're offline, Facebook caches or stores content on the phone.
Any written posts appear on the face of a picture, and if you appreciate what you see or read, you can double tap the display to "like" it, or alternatively, tap the small thumbs-up icon on the bottom left corner of the screen. You can supply a comment by tapping against another icon near the lower left corner. On the bottom right, you'll see how many other people commented and/or like a feed.
There is something intimate about using Facebook like this on a phone. For better or worse, I found myself weighing in with more "likes" using the HTC First compared with when I look at Facebook on my computer.
You can manage the interface by tapping the screen, which brings up your own Facebook profile picture in a small circle. Press the circle and drag it to other circles that appear, and you're presented with one of three options: you can summon Facebook Messenger; summon an Apps Launcher; or summon the last app you were using. The Apps Launcher is dimly transparent, so you can see the underlying Facebook photo beneath it.
Notifications appear as part of Facebook Home, such as when a friend posts something on your Facebook timeline. You can tap on the notification to respond to it. You also get standard phone notifications, such as missed calls or notifications when Wi-Fi networks are available or when new e-mails come in.
You don't have to be on the Home screen to exploit a feature Facebook refers to as "Chat Heads." When a friend sends you a text message — either a Facebook message or regular SMS text — you see your friend's mug in a small circle, aka, the Chat Head. You can chat with your friends right then, no matter what app you're working in. You can drag the Chat Head around the screen or discard it altogether by dragging it onto an "x" at the bottom of the screen.
I didn't detect any noticeable hit in battery life using Facebook Home, and Facebook, to its credit, is mindful of data use. You can control settings that affect your data usage, choosing between High, Medium, and Low settings to control how much data Facebook Home uses and the quality of the photo images (my phone was set to Medium). When you hit a certain threshold, no new photos will be downloaded, but you'll be able to see the photos that are already cached on your device.
Big questions remain. People are often skittish — with cause, given the social network's track record — about privacy. The other thing to watch is just how Facebook eventually employs ads to monetize the Home experience. Put it this way: The onus is on Facebook to present ads, when it does add them, delicately. If not, I suspect many people will opt to turn Home off.
For now, Facebook has delivered a smooth experience built around pretty pictures and a rather seamless chat experience. But your home screen is a valuable and very personal piece of real estate. You really do have to trust and "like" Facebook a fair amount to welcome Facebook Home into your mobile home.
The bottom line
Facebook Home
$99.99 for HTC First. Facebook Home is free download on certain compatible Android devices.
Pro. Home interface is slick. Pictures look beautiful. Chatting is simple.
Con. Do you want Facebook in your face all the time? Questions remain about ad usage.

To you, Gods of Hockey, we pray
March 24 2008 01:57PM
O Gods of Hockey, we salute you.
We thank you for the many gifts you have bestowed upon the OilersNation. We thank you for breaking Chris Pronger's jaw this season. We thank you for Mike Peca turning to crap once he left the Mighty Oil. We thank you for the tiny but industrious fists of Sam Gagner, and for convincing Ales Hemsky's home planet to lend him to us for the duration of his career. We thank you for beer, hot wings and for killing the glowing puck idea in the NHL.
We now call on you, Gods of Hockey. We the OilersNation will require your favour throughout the next six games, and it begins tonight. We pray to you to allow the Oilers to beat the Wild tonight, and allow the Flames to beat the Avs.
If you see it in your infinite hockey wisdom please allow Garon to return to the game soon, if you think Roloson can't handle the stretch. If he can, we thank you for Roloson and his old but sturdy hamstrings.
We have the human sacrifices ready at a moment's notice upon your direction.
March 24 2008, 02:18PM
I have a few ideas for people we could sacrifice to appease the Gods. Amen Wanye
Go Calgary - only tonight.
So let it be written, so let it be done.
March 24 2008, 07:44PM
I think that's Stan Weir in the background, closest to the cup.
How did all of those hippies get the cup

Flight Behavior (Paperback)
November 2012 Indie Next List
"Dellarobia Turnbow, who is ready to run away from her unsatisfactory life on a Tennessee farm, comes across a river of flame on the mountain behind her home: millions of Monarch butterflies. The insects, wintering in Appalachia instead of their traditional Mexican grounds, open Dellarobia's circumscribed life, slowly drawing her out into the wider world. Kingsolver's precise prose, deep characters, and provocative questions -- evidence versus faith, duty versus choice, facts versus perception -- will resonate with readers as they contemplate the real world and its global changes."
— Erica Caldwell, Present Tense, Batavia, NY
Flight Behavior transfixes from its opening scene, when a young woman's narrow experience of life is thrown wide with the force of a raging fire. In the lyrical language of her native Appalachia, Barbara Kingsolver bares the rich, tarnished humanity of her novel's inhabitants and unearths the modern complexities of rural existence. Characters and reader alike are quickly carried beyond familiar territory here, into the unsettled ground of science, faith, and everyday truces between reason and conviction.
Dellarobia Turnbow is a restless farm wife who gave up her own plans when she accidentally became pregnant at seventeen. Now, after a decade of domestic disharmony on a failing farm, she has settled for permanent disappointment but seeks momentary escape through an obsessive flirtation with a younger man. As she hikes up a mountain road behind her house to a secret tryst, she encounters a shocking sight: a silent, forested valley filled with what looks like a lake of fire. She can only understand it as a cautionary miracle, but it sparks a raft of other explanations from scientists, religious leaders, and the media. The bewildering emergency draws rural farmers into unexpected acquaintance with urbane journalists, opportunists, sightseers, and a striking biologist with his own stake in the outcome. As the community lines up to judge the woman and her miracle, Dellarobia confronts her family, her church, her town, and a larger world, in a flight toward truth that could undo all she has ever believed.
Flight Behavior takes on one of the most contentious subjects of our time: climate change. With a deft and versatile empathy Kingsolver dissects the motives that drive denial and belief in a precarious world.
Praise For…
"Drawing on both her Appalachian roots and her background in biology, Kingsolver delivers a passionate novel on the effects of global warming."
-Booklist, Starred Review of FLIGHT BEHAVIOR
"With her powerful new novel, Kingsolver delivers literary fiction that conveys an urgent social message… a clarion call about climate change, too lucid and vivid for even skeptics to ignore."
-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review of FLIGHT BEHAVIOR
"…Enthralling…Dellarobia is appealingly complex as a smart, curious, warmhearted woman desperate to-no resisting the metaphor here-trade her cocoon for wings."
"A dazzling page-turner"
"Kingsolver has written one of the more thoughtful novels about the scientific, financial and psychological intricacies of climate change. And her ability to put these silent, breathtakingly beautiful butterflies at the center of this calamitous and noisy debate is nothing short of brilliant."
-Ron Charles, Washington Post
"Dellarobia is a smart, fierce, messy woman, and one can't help rooting for her to find her wings."
-Entertainment Weekly
"Dellarobia is appealingly complex as a smart, curious, warmhearted woman desperate to-no resisting the metaphor here-trade her cocoon for wings."
-O, the Oprah Magazine
"One of the gifts of a Kingsolver novel is the resplendence of her prose. She takes palpable pleasure in the craft of writing, creating images that stay with the reader long after her story is done…(a) majestic and brave new novel."
-New York Times Book Review
"Kingsolver has constructed a deeply affecting microcosm of a phenomenon that is manifesting in many different tragic ways, in communities and ecosystems all around the globe. This is a fine and complex novel."
-Seattle Times
"So captivating is this grand, suspenseful plot and the many subplots rising and falling beneath it that it takes some time before we realize what this story is really about -- climate change."
-Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Spirituality, a troubled marriage, global warming…Kingsolver's latest is a bold mélange, but it works."
"Kingsolver is a storyteller first and foremost, as sensitive to human interactions and family dynamics as she is to ecological ones."
"a delicate symbiosis between the sacred and the scientific in this richly rewarding novel that will both entertain and incite its readers."
"FLIGHT BEHAVIOR is a book worth reading twice? first for the intricacies of character, second for the dense, beautiful language Kingsolver puts on the page. She's a keen observer of the messiness and unexpected beauty of the quotidian."
-Cleveland Plain Dealer
"By the end of FLIGHT BEHAVIOR, it's clear that Kingsolver's passionate voice and her ability to portray the fragility of the natural world, and why we should care about it, are as strong as ever."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"Novelists like Kingsolver have a particular knack for making us empathize with lives that may bear little resemblance to our own…What lifts FLIGHT BEHAVIOR…is not just Kingsolver's nuanced and funny prose; it's Dellarobia's awakening to the possibilities around her."
-Julia Ingalls, Salon
"FLIGHT BEHAVIOR is a terrifically entertaining read about a spirited young woman you'll miss the minute you reach the last page."
-USA Today
"Marvelous…This is fiction rich in empathy, wit and science. Like the butterflies that astonish Feathertown, Kingsolvian gifts are 'fierce and wondrous,' 'colors moving around like fire.'"
-New York Times

Ever wonder why one of your particularly bad posts has been deleted? Feel free to contact me!
Just to let you guys know, I have not disappeared. ^^
I will return to activity tomorrow. Till then, have fun!
Oh yeah, redsquirrel, my recommendation is that you watch the subbed version in broadcast order. A detailed explanation of Broadcast order v.s. Chronological order is written in the first page, second post.
If you find the DVD version to be too much of a problem, download the broadcast version from the first page post instead. You should be able to turn the dub off by right clicking the screen and selecting the correct commands. Then again, I use mplayer, so I can't speak much. The sole advantage that the DVD version offers the viewer is a slightly higher visual quality.
If you have further questions, I will answer them tomorrow. ^^
Edit: I modified the title of this thread for just a bit. =P
Crap im an inactive member of this club. We all know that haruhi-sama is all forgiving when it comes to those who are working hard studying for exams. So shame on you guys for not be forgiving!
.Sig & Ava By Ravona
Thanks guys, and I can gurantee you once I finish watching them I will join the Brigade. I am watching them in broadcast order, original fansubs.
Dubbing is okay, but a lot of the emotion gets sucked out from the original voice actors. I can't stand the huge ass subs on the DVD versions either so I'm just going to settle for this.
@DukeTheGold & jja
I try to avoid having more the one program for the same purpose. All I need to do is play them, and nothing else. Quicktime works fine for that, so unless I need to download something else I'm not.
"Just working" is never good enough, it has to work perfectly, and has to have a nice interface too. I've never had a problem with mplayer... never...
Number of problems I've had with quicktime... up in the 100's, mostly because the F'ing program takes over file associations without asking... f'ing apple with their f'ing crappy a/v program and their f'ing need to link it to awesome iTunes for no f'ing reason (really if they wanted to use the code they could have just linked the libs, not required the entire program be installed)
o yeah, and there is no real way to uninstall it from your mac too ... bahh, I love my macs, but man quicktime pisses me off
Last edited by Kushieda; 05-15-2008 at 08:27 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost
lol I am all about variety - when the codecs fail some other program will do the trick
and as Haruhi-sama () would say ''we just have to put a bunch of Mikuru-chan pics on the front page and it will be fine''

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Unless you're looking for a quick fix (that usually doesn't exist), remember that losing weight and maintaining weight loss requires lifestyle changes in diet, exercise and the behaviors associated with these habits.
While ultimately weight loss is dependent on those main areas, there are many different challenges we all face. For example, some of you may have challenges because you eat out often, you don't know how to cook healthy meals, or you don't like vegetables or fruits very much. Others may have different challenges. And a few don't have any challenges.
Because most of us have different challenges, individualization is extremely important in a weight management program. "One size fits all" doesn't apply. When you're designing your weight management plan, do an inventory of your strengths and challenges. Write down what you do well, such as eat plenty of vegetables. Recognize and rely on your strengths.
This will give you confidence and help you carry out your plan. Also, write down your challenges and obstacles. Then do some problem solving and come up with specific strategies to help deal with these obstacles. The more honest you are with yourself, both in recognizing your obstacles and coming up with realistic strategies, the greater the likelihood you'll succeed.
In "The Mayo Clinic Diet" book there's an Action Guide that lists many different obstacles and strategies on how to address them. This may help you on your weight loss journey. We're designing a new healthy living program at Mayo Clinic that will include a weight management component.
This will be a 2-3 day onsite intensive lifestyle change program, and one of the key features will be individualization. Everyone is unique in their own wonderful ways. And everyone who undertakes weight loss should tailor their plan to their own unique circumstances.
Donald Hensrud, M.D.
Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
Great resource to compare what's out there! Thanks. I look forward to recommending and sharing this with my readers at: http://diets-to-lose-weight-fast.com/ who are looking to kick start a new weight loss routine or conquer a diet plateau, "Thank you so much for the helpful Info."
I have had the Mayo Clinic Diet book and journal for a few months now. I am resolving some health issues now and want to begin the program. One thing I've noticed - first a lot of the book photos show young people. What about seniors. Secondly, your video pretty much implies that a spouse or partner is going to be going along with the diet. Helping with the preparation, cooking the recipes, etc.
My spouse is not interested in doing the program. She does not cook any meals (except salads) and as a senior, I am stuck with becoming a chef to prepare such foods/meals as those listed in the book. I can do some meal preparation myself but you're assuming a lot.
Perhaps there is something in the back of the book for male seniors like myself, but this program is definitely for younger, experienced cooks.
A chapter could be devoted to how the older male can incorporate such a program into his life without becoming a shopper, food prepper and cook. The exercise and breakfasts I can do but a second person to shop, prepare, cook and motivate is really needed. This should be upfront in the book
I'm assuming this is not covered by insurance.
How much woukd it cost?
I gained 20 lbs wheni got full body tendonitis from taking Levaquin.
18 months later, my body can move againand I want to shed.
How much is this program?
When you say to me :Everyone who undertakes weight loss should tailor teir plan to their own needs...Thats just the problem. When your to far overweight your discouraged, and your kidding yourself that your tailoring your own successful plan to loss weight.
By the way what is the meaning of Medibolic Syndrome?
Its very informative and i am sure it will help many other people like the way it helps me. Thanks for the information.

By SYLVIA NELSON
As part of the book "Emery County- 1881-1980," Clawson history was compiled by resident and author Keith Wright from information written first by his mother, Bessie Wright, and resident, Theo Cox, and other more recent residents. Mr. Wright said he wrote more "of a tale or a legend" that he hoped would be useful( page 90, I found it not only very useful but very enjoyable and colorful reading.
Wright goes on to say "Clawson has always been something of a suburb of Ferron. The North Ditch, a canal diverting the waters of Ferron Creek, was completed in 1896, after two or three years of hard work, bringing essential irrigation water to the North Flat-as it was sometimes called. Early the following spring, 1897, the first homesteads were claimed."
"The scattered collection of log houses soon became known as Kingsville. Whether the name was in honor of the first homesteader (one of the first was Guy King), or because there were more Kings than any other name, is now speculative.
As part of the Ferron LDS Ward church, several organizations, were formed in 1902. Two years later, Oct. 25, 1904, Rudgar Clawson, then a member of the LDS Council of Twelve, organized the branch into a ward, "In honor of the apostle's visit, the town's name was changed from Kingsville to Clawson. So it was that the community took its name from a visitor of a few hours, who, so far as is known, never returned. Incidently, in all of the United States there are only two towns named Clawson, one in Utah, one in Michigan. The town, of course, has also been known by occasional nicknames, one of which- cleaned up enough to appear in print-was goose-eye."
Clawson even though small in population is an incorporated town with its own post office, cemetery and new city hall building. Children are now bused to Ferron.
Clawson saw a little boom during the early days of the building of the power plants, then dipped in population again, but is now an attractive and stabilized community of many lovely homes with well kept yards and surrounding pastures and fruit trees.
According to "Emery County- 1889-1980" page 102-3, Ferron was settled the winter of 1877 by people of Ephraim, Nicholas Larson for one. "The creek was frozen over and they had to chop holes in the ice so that the oxen could stand up."
"John Lowry was camped with his sheep herd; Tom Simper and Sam Gilson were herding cows for the Bennion Brothers; and Mike Molen had cows here at that time, They were a source of meat for these early settlers."
"There were cottonwood trees in abundance by the creek, sluice grass and bunch grass. However, the valley was most desolate, the rolling barren mud-colored hills surrounded the valley with tall mountain peaks in the distance. There were patches of greasewood and cacti so thick a horse or dog could not be made to go over to what was later to become Ferron townsite."
"This story concerning the authenticity of how Ferron got its name was researched by Ida Conklin, a Ferron native in 1963. She was attracted by an obituary in the Salt Lake Tribune of the death of William E. Ferron. She corresponded with his widow at an address given in the paper and was informed that Augustus David Ferron was indeed her father-in-law and that he was the surveyor who had been hired by Brigham Young in 1870 to help lay out many of the streets in Salt Lake City: later he was sent by the U.S. government as head of a surveying party to survey the land in Castle Valley so it would be available for homesteading. It was while he was surveying in this vicinity that he and his crew were camped on a stream in southeastern Utah.
They liked to make jokes about each other and told Mr. Ferron that they would name the stream after him if he would submit to a dunking in it. It was hot and he was game and took the dunking. They called it Ferron's Creek. The story was told often and labeled on their charts and maps to indicate the name of the stream. Later on, dugouts and log houses were built along the stream."
However, they soon dropped the "s" and the town became Ferron. The name is French. Ferron's parents immigrated to America for France in 1849. In 1880 the population was 90.
Three Nelson brothers, Andrew, Hyrum and Christian settled in Ferron. Christian went into the mercantile business in 1900 in a store located where the Morris Singleton house stands today." This property is owned and occupied currently by Kyle and Kathy Singleton.
Ferron is one of the three largest towns in Emery County where there are many families who have retained family farms for more than 100 years. It has been known for marketing its many products throughout the years; poultry, eggs, dairy products, cattle, sheep, pork, vegetables, molasses, honey, flour and fruit, especially peaches to the surrounding coal mining towns and even bricks to Salt Lake City that were used on the first ZCMI building. Two of the biggest events of the county are held in Ferron annually; the Southeastern Utah Junior Livestock Show and Peach Days.

'Edward Boccia: Figurative Expressionist'
The Saint Louis University Museum of Art will host an opening reception for its latest exhibit Friday, Jan. 18.Event Details: January 18 - March 03, Saint Louis University Museum of Art
|Enigma Portrait, Edward Boccia. 1981.
The work of internationally renowned artist Edward Boccia will be hosted at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art from Jan. 18 through March 3. An opening reception will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18.
Edward Boccia: Figurative Expressionist includes an impressive range of the artist's expressionist triptychs and powerful paintings that reflect his evolution from prolific artist to published poet. This exhibition includes a series of Boccia's work that reflects his passion for the profound, his exploration of the biblical and his inspiration drawn from the German expressionist painter, Max Beckmann, as well as other masters of modernity such as Cezanne and Nolde.
Boccia's art consists of "slashes of luminous colors or powerful streaks of dark, foreboding, abstract musings or slices of real life," noted the St. Louis Beacon.
Boccia saw himself as both a classical artist and an expressionistic painter, and his works in this exhibit reflect his range. With rich colors layered sparingly within, behind, over and around inky shades, Boccia creates powerful compositions that offer subtext with each painting. His Enigma Portrait brings a notable solemnity and yet a splash of light that is unexpectedly and unmistakably mystic, however, nevertheless profound in its perspective.
Boccia's work can be found in private collections, as well as museums and religious institutions throughout the world. He earned multiple honors, among them, a knighthood by the "Cavaliere Al Merito Della Repubblica" in Italy and the "Borso di Studio" from the Italian government. In 1990, Saint Louis University bestowed upon him membership in the Order of the Crown of King Louis IX.
Born in 1921 in Newark, N.J., Boccia studied at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts, an elite vocational school, as well as the renowned Pratt Institute in New York City where he met his wife, Madeleine Wysong. After serving in World War II, Boccia returned to New York in 1945, married Madeleine, and continued his education, earning his bachelor's and master's degrees from Columbia University. He moved to St. Louis in 1951 to teach in the School of Fine Arts at Washington University, where he spent the remainder of his career and continued to work on his art.
Boccia died in September 2012 in Webster Groves, Mo. He was 91 years of age.
For more information, call 314-977-2666 or visit the Saint Louis University Museum of Art website.
Boccia's early drawings and paintings are featured in a concurrent exhibition organized by The Sheldon Art Galleries. Edward Boccia: Early Work will be on display from Feb. 22 to May 18 in the Nancy Spirtas Kranzberg Gallery of the Sheldon Art Galleries, 3648 Washington Boulevard, St. Louis, Mo. Visit the Sheldon Art Galleries website or call 314-533-9900 for more information.

: I have very little hot water pressure, but good cold water pressure at all faucets in home. I am on city water, and have a gas water heater. Will it do any good to drain the hot water heater. Do I have to shut off the gas to drain it? I just bought this home. It is about 10 years old, and the copper piping going to and from the hot water heater looks good.

Flames on pace for 82-0 season!
Jean Lefebvre
October 02 2009 10:43AM
One down, 81 to go . . .
The good: Rene Bourque and Mark Giordano, who hobbled out of the 2008-09 season, were in full stride to start 2009-10. Giordano's ice-breaking power-play goal was one slick piece of work.
The fourth line turned in some energetic shifts and one profitable one as Brandon Prust scored a goal.
The uniforms looked awesome. With any luck, the Flames will go 5-0 with the blood-blister/ketchup-bottle look and be tempted to switch to these babies full time. Straight and horizontal lines? No diaper effect on the back hem? Bee-yoo-tiful. Added bonus for Flames fans of a certain age — constant flashbacks to Hakan Loob, Joe Mullen, Gary Suter, Jim Peplinski, Carey Wilson, Colin Patterson et al all game long.
The bad: The Flames seemed to trot out the worst ever version of the prevent defence in the third period and it could have — and perhaps should have — cost them.
The penalty-killing, which ranked No. 4 in the league a season ago, got off to a rough start but did come up with a clutch kill in the third period and the lead at one slim goal.
Lastly, and this has nothing to do with the Flames, the NHL needs to do some work on its new scoreboard features. As of 10:30 Friday morning, the boxscore from last night's game showed two No. 20s, Adam Pardy wearing No. 55, Prust wearing No. 29, Nigel Dawes with 14, etc.
The curious: Funny how all kinds of people — including play-by-play man Mark Lee last night — are now addressing the subject of Dion Phaneuf's poor season in 2008-09, and not just the dip in points. A year ago, it seemed like all the TV talking heads and guessperts were playing down or ignoring any suggestions that No. 3 had lost his way in his own zone.
What it means: Brent Sutter has a perfect record as Calgary's skipper and the Flames have delayed for at least a few days any talk of another slow start. Saturday brings Round 1 of the Battle of Alberta and another encounter with their old pal Nikolai Khabibulin.
Pretty much agree with your "good" list.
-Bourque looked pretty good. -Jersey's looked good, but they should only be used when the other team is retro; would look awesome beating on the Oilers if they both went retro for all their meetings. -Did Iginla play? Or WAS that Hakan Loob? Top line needs to do more. -Bouwmeester with a 29 minute night. -Staffan Kronwall is a bit of an adventure.
All in all... its just nice to have hockey back!
Kent has this over at http://www.matchsticksandgasoline.com/ Rhett Warrener Named Scout For Flames… …Warrener will work closely with Director of Player Personnel Duane Sutter and Pro Scout Ron Sutter in identifying professional talent as well as assisting with the development process of prospects currently in the organization.
No real surprise as Daryl loves The ULTIMATE Warrener *(shout out to Duncan)*
Caught the game last night on CenterIce. In the US, DirecTV and Versus are in a battle over who can carry the VS games and how much to charge. Whatever. So I miss a few games a week, but with DirecTV and the CenterIce package I can get 90%+ of the games anyways.
Watched the Flames and Nucks last night, and was pleased to see the Classic Flames Uniforms. Too bad they aren't going back to these fully. IMO they should.
Caps did it, and I think it is for the better.

Still, it was nice to see the Flames had the Can't Nucks their asses, in spite of the old-style jerseys!

*had = hand. EDIT BUTTON, PLEASE.
@ OvenChicken8: Yup... ~the Flames are goin 82-0... and Matt Stajan's gonna score 164 goals for the Leafs this year~
Those jersey burned my retinas.
I don't know why everybody is picking the Canucks to win the division. If Luongo falters, they're fuc*ed.

luongo faltered last night and we hung on to win. Personally I doubt they win the division with AV as coach... his message and style must get tiresome to the boys rowing the ship. my 2c
Those jerseys need to be toned down, or they need to send everyone in the viewing audience shades.
Good win though!!

40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots – The Birth of Gay Rights
40th Anniversary of Stonewall Riots
Today we honor our gay friends and family by observing, and celebrating, the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969 at the Stonewall Inn, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City.
They are frequently cited as the first instance in American history when gays, lesbians and transgenders fought back against a government-sponsored system that persecuted homosexuals, and they have become the defining event that marked the start of the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world.*
Celebrate today, but remember; its back to work tomorrow for Equality!

Skip to comments.CA: Illegal immigrants find room at colleges - UC system has supported policy
Posted on 07/24/2006 12:02:26 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
SAN FRANCISCO When he started high school, Matias Bernal's English was so limited he stumbled over the words for numbers and colors.
Four years later, he was on the wait list at Princeton.
Bernal is an illegal immigrant from Mexico City. Without access to financial aid, grants and most scholarships, he had to push aside the Ivy League brochures and prepare to attend California State University Fresno, where he can live with family and pay tuition with money from jobs he is not supposed to have.
I was crushed, he said.
About 65,000 illegal immigrants graduate from U.S. high schools each year. With partisan Washington deadlocked over immigration, many states have been taking matters into their own hands.
Legislatures across the nation have passed 56 laws affecting immigrants this year most of them cracking down on foreigners but access to higher education seems to be one area where immigrants have been inching forward.
Nebraska recently joined nine other states including Texas, New York and Illinois that allow undocumented students to pay in-state tuition at their public institutions.
Although some states, such as Florida, have seen similar laws fail, the majority of undocumented students in the United States can count on paying the same tuition as the citizens who sit next to them in class.
California allows students without full citizenship to pay the lower tuition if they meet strict criteria, including residency in the state through high school. State legislators are seeking to take the next step and join Texas and other states that allow undocumented students attending California schools to apply for state financial aid.
Immigration is a federal issue, but there are consequences for states when the feds fail to act, said state Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, who sponsored the bill. States have a right and a duty to act in their own interest.
This state-by-state approach is better than nothing, supporters said, but it leaves a lot of gaps.
Five years ago, federal legislators first introduced a measure that would have filled in such gaps.
The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or Dream Act, as it is commonly called, sought to allow illegal immigrants who graduate from U.S. high schools to become temporary residents, eligible for in-state tuition and financial aid, as long as they pursued higher education. If they met these requirements, and stayed out of trouble, they could become legal residents.
It never came up for debate. Although it has been reintroduced every year since, the Dream Act inevitably becomes tangled in the politicized immigration debate of Capitol Hill, said Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., one of the bill's sponsors.
It's gotten caught up in the larger immigration debate, Diaz-Balart said. It's unfortunate this is a fairness issue with regard to hardworking, studious people.
Although measures that make education more accessible often garner bipartisan support, any move to improve the lot of people who are here illegally is still very controversial.
Opponents of the Dream Act argue that every seat taken in a classroom by someone such as Bernal means one less seat for others.
There are other victims here, said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a Washington-based organization that seeks to stop illegal immigration. If we admit someone who is here illegally, we're saying no to someone else.
Some universities, including the University of California system, have publicly supported the measure, saying they are interested mainly in getting the best students they can, whatever their immigration status.
Access isn't just being admitted to the university, said UC spokesman Ricardo Vazquez. It's being able to afford going to the university.
Financial aid would help students such as Nora Razon, who was brought to California illegally from Jalisco, Mexico, when she was 2 and made it to San Francisco State University despite growing up in a home so violent she spent time in foster care.
Razon couldn't get financial aid, but because California law allowed her to pay in-state tuition about $3,000 a year, instead of the $11,000 charged to out-of-state residents she was able to pay for college by working nights as a waitress and commuting four hours round-trip by train.
I refused to believe my education was going to stop, she said.
Although states can help illegal immigrants afford college, only the federal government can make it easier for them to become legal residents, legislators said.
Laws in states such as California only postpone the moment when those students will enter the work force and face the fact that with or without a diploma they still are not allowed to work legally.
Yeah, well I didn't get to go to Princeton either. Went thru the University of California system with no loans, financial aide, etc. Worked as a bartender and paid my way thru college with cash from tips.
Why should I have to help pay for You? Go back to Mexico and get your education there!
It is lovely that children from other lands can attend school here but not at the expense of our own children who suffer from overcrowding, bi-lingual issues, lowering the academic requirements and teaching to suit the lowest common denominators.
This is criminal. Felons do not have rights nor do their families.
Well in California I think it is over $11k a student now.
How about fairness for the legal US taxpayer for a change. I'm sick of paying for illegal aliens. I estimated that at least 1/3 of my local and California taxes are diverted to illegal aliens.
Arkansas State Law HB1525 almost gave in-state tuition to illegals in Arkansas. Some conservative activist, including freepers, lobbied against the bill which almost passed.
Are you sh*tt*ng me? This is supposed to be some dort of sob story? When my dad died when I was 15 we lost our home and savings and I "had to attend a state university." The horror! "Robbed" of attending an Ivy league I could not afford.
What the f*ck is wrong with Liberals? Since when do criminal aliens get public sympathy for not being able to pay to go to expensive schools? Has everyone lost their minds?
Cry me a river.
I just finished paying for four years out of State tuition at U of AZ. for my son. AZ. makes it extremely difficult to qualify for instate tuition even for California residents (and yes we are multi generation US citizens).
In Calif. an out of state US citizen qualifies for in state tuition after one year residency.
"Razon couldn't get financial aid, but because California law allowed her to pay in-state tuition about $3,000 a year, instead of the $11,000 charged to out-of-state residents "
Grand theft of the State of California.
Some legal resident lost a slot to this illegal.
Pay your taxes - after 200 years of slavery you owe us.
They should call it.....Out of Country Taxpayer Subsidized Tuition.
Friggin' liberals, trying to make up for the guilt they feel about illegals mowing their lawns for cheap, by spending their fellow citizens' tax dollars. How Kennedyesque.
I am willing to accept in state tuition for children of illegal aliens IFF: After graduation they are obligated to go back to their country of origin and use their education to improve Mexico.
This girl is exactly the kind of American immigrant we want. She works hard, believes in higher education, put herself through school without asking for handouts, and considered it important enough to commute 4 hours a day.
There are different situations for illegals. This girl was 2 when she was brought here illegally. She didn't make the decision, nor could she do anything about it. She did the best she could, with the situation she had. Her actions indicate to me that she understands American values. Why should we punish someone like this? She has done all the right things.
I didn't bring her here either. Why should it be up to me to make sure the girl is educated, fed, housed, medicated, etc.?
It is not the girls fault but it DEFINITELY is not my fault either, even though I (we) are the ones that must pay for it.
I don't care if she did everything right in the U.S., she is Mexico's citizen and Mexico should be taking care of her, not us.
So at this point why aren't we sending the bill to Mexico for her years of education?
Illegal immigrants taking up the college spaces American kids should be getting.
They have no intention of returning to Mexico. There is no opportunity there. Now that you have financed the education of illegal aliens, prepare for them to compete to take away your employment. You can share you sob story about having to train your outsourced replacement as a condition of getting your severance payment. It is certainly more economical than keeping an employee until retirement.
Better get used to having these folks around; this is the only way the Democrat Party can find new voters.
And yet, we are asked to think of the treatment afforded HER as being somehow lacking.
cost of illegal immigration in California in only 3 areas.
A 1996 federal law, 8 U.S.C § 1623, explicitly states that no state may grant resident status to an illegal alien living in that state and attending a public college or university unless the state grants the same benefit to all out-of-state students attending those public colleges or universities. The plaintiffs also contend that the California policy also violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. constitution.
For one grade's worth for those who actually graduate.
Seriously, no matter how fair that might be, Mexico isn't going to pay us anything. I understand the burden that illegals represent. However, we have already paid for her education. She is obviously hard working, and as a college graduate she will be a productive member of society. Why pay to educate her and throw her out, when she will likely become a much bigger tax payer than a tax consumer if we let her stay?
She needs to go back and help Mexico become a productive society or to foment revolution to force the government to pay for Mexican children to go to school beyond the 6th grade.
" How Kennedyesque."
"This girl is exactly the kind of American immigrant we want."
Yeah, but she is not an immigrant. She is illegal .
See post 17 for the rest of your enlightenment. SHEESH!
Boo frickin' hoo! A lot of American citizens who are very intelligent can't afford Princeton either.
The AP printed their entire names and school locations. I guess the AP wants readers to report these illegal aliens? DHS/ICE sure makes it confusing to figure out where.
Although Razon didn't have much choice in being brought here illegally, she is probably an adult now (at SFSU) and should take responsibility to make the effort to legalize her status.

In addition, he gave me the Medical Protocols for the LR Marathon. These are Dr Davidson's guidelines for us. He has managed to recruit physicians, nurses, physical therapists (who do the muscle stretching and massages), EMT's and lay volunteers (who do some of the clerical work). It is a nice summary for anyone like me who volunteers, but is not in the sports medicine specialty.
Most common reason for treatment of runners in the medical tent following an endurance event. It is caused by blood pooling in the lower extremities at cessation of exercise with resultant hypotension and syncope. Collapse during the race usually implies some other cause, eg. cardiorespiratory, heat illness, or dehydration. May be exacerbated by dehydration or heat but these are not the primary problems.
Clinical Features:
- Mental status--lightheaded, dizzy, brief loss of consciousness
- Rectal temp--below 102.5 degrees Farenheit
- Blood pressure--Orthostatic hypotension, improving with recumbancy (within 30 minutes)
- Pulse--Tachycardia, improving with leg elevation
- Lab--Normal serum sodium and glucose
- Head down position on stretcher or cot with foot elevated 6 in
- Monitor BP and pulse (check every 15 minutes)
- Oral hydration
- Expect recovery in 15-30 minutes
- Appropriate cool-down -- continue moving (walking) after race
- Encourage those that feel faint to lie down with legs elevated
Ranges from nausea/vomiting to heat stroke. Milder forms can be treated with use of water soaked towels to head and trunk, and oral hydration. Heatstroke represents a medical emergency. It is diagnosed via altered mental status (usually unconsciousness) and a rectal temperature higher than 106.7 degrees F. Requires immediate measures to decrease body temperature (immersion in ice water), IV fluids and transportation to emergency department.
Treatment Protocol:
- Assess rectal temperature on admission and every 15 minutes
- If rectal temp is greater than 104 with alteration of mental status, then cover athlete with towels and water or immerse and begin IV with NS.
- For heat stroke initiate the above measures and prepare to transport when rectal temp less than 104 and vital signs (VS) are stable.
- Offer oral fluids when athlete is able.
- Discontinue passive cooling when rectal temp less than 102.
- May discharge when temp has normalized, taking oral fluids, neurologic exam and cognitive function is normal.
- For residual symptoms, eg. CNS, vascular, renal -- transfer to emergency facility for evaluation.
EAMC is painful, spasmodic, involuntary contraction of skeletal muscles involved in exercise. Generalized cramping (including non-exercising muscle groups), especially if associated with confusion or unconsciousness is more likely due to a metabolic disturbance and is not EAMC. It should be managed as a medical emergency with transport to an emergency department. EAMC can be managed with oral or IV hydration and passive stretching. Dehydration and electrolyte disturbance may contribute to EAMC but IV fluid management is not necessarily required for resolution.
- Passive stretching
- Oral hydration
- Indications for IV fluid therapy
- Athlete is unable to drink
- Persistent cramping despite stretching and oral hydration
- Signs of severe dehydration, eg. dry mucous membranes, sunken eyes, inability to spit, persistent hypotension and tachycardia
More commonly seen in ultra-endurance races than in marathons. Primary cause in these events is overhydration with inadequate replacement of electrolytes lost through sweating. Consider this possibility in an endurance athlete with altered mental status and normal rectal temperature.
Clinical features:
- Alteration of mental status--uncoordination, lightheadedness, seizures, coma
- Edema of hand and fingers -- rings fitting tight, weight gain during race
- Serum sodium less than 130 mmol/L
- If alert and serum sodium is more than 130 mmol/L, moniter and await spontaneous diuresis. Do not give IV fluids.
- If serum sodium is less than 125 mmol/L and /or semi-comatose or comatose, transfer to emergency department. Treatment includes use of low dose diuretics and hypertonic saline.
- Towel used for cooling or wiping athletes must not be reused.
- Use Universal Precautions -- wear gloves
- Sharps containers and medical waste bags are to be used for contaminated materials
- Hand washing between patients.
Not mentioned in his handout, are the cold-related issues. We saw some of this last year. Several athletes came into the finish-line medical tent shivering uncontrollable and were found to have oral temps of 93-95 degree F. They were all alert and carried on appropriate conversations. We managed to warm them with space blankets and warm oral liquids (coffee, hot tea, etc) but found ourselves wishing we some space heaters. Still watching the weather reports here to try to "guess" what issues we will see this year.

So here's my sad, long tale. I'm 44 years old and have never hunted. I grew up with a father that wouldn't hunt, fish, or even take me camping, he always relied on my mother to take me fishing and camping. Both my parents were against hunting. My father told me a story of the one time he went hunting and shot a deer which didn't die and how it screamed like a little baby. I had invites from friends and uncles to go hunting but by then I was also against killing any kind of big game. 12 years ago I met my fiancee who had 3 kids, 1 girl and 2 young boys. Both boys expressed an interest in learning to hunt which started me to rethink everything about hunting that I had been brainwashed into believing. I went as far as to trade a sig pistol for a rifle and scope from a buddy which I've had for about 10 years now. I've hinted to uncles and cousins about my interest in LEARNING to hunt but never an invite. That's ok, I understand that hunters are a tight knit group and I believe it's hard to break into that group of hunting buddies that have been hunting together for decades.
Time flies by and my youngest boy is in his last year of school and the older boy is in the Navy which my youngest boy is probably going to follow in his brothers footsteps as soon as he graduates. So, I've lost the chance to pass on the hunting experience and tradition that should be such a basic skill of life. If that makes any sense.
The buddy I traded with for the rifle is an avid hunter and has said he will take me hunting. He took another friend of mine hunting for the first time which amounted to driving the back roads in Eastern Oregon until they seen something to kill. That's where I have a problem. I'm not looking to just kill something. I want to LEARN to HUNT. I want to get away from the roads, the towns etc. and get into the wilderness. I know this may sound a bit corny. I look at these old pictures of hunters and wonder how these guys were ever able to hunt without all the camo and gadgets, not that I have anything against all the gadgets and stuff.
I read all the hunting mags and just got my last issue of EHJ so I need to subscribe again. You can only learn so much from dvds and magazines. I am at the point now where I feel like I'm just going to go find me an area to hunt and see what happens...maybe next year. I read how all you real hunters are waiting all year to hunt and I want that excitement and anticipation also. To be able to put meat on the table that wasn't killed by someone else, just the whole experience I guess is what I'm looking for.
So I know there are mentoring programs for youth hunters and am wondering why is there no mentoring programs for adults that would like to LEARN how to actually hunt? At this time I can't afford a guided trip and I'm not entirely sure how these outfitters would feel about teaching someone how to hunt and why or why not to take an animal, etc.
I live on the Oregon coast and there is big game all around me. I get deer in the back yard and since the dump is a half mile behind the house I get the occasional black bear on the front deck trying to get into the garbage can. So I know there's big game around but shooting something in my backyard is not what I consider hunting.
I need to learn every aspect of true hunting from the start to the finish. I am sorry for the long sob story. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I should just take up my buddies invite to drive around? At least maybe I would be able to learn how to clean a deer.
Thanks again

James Reimer's Glove Hand
March 17 2011 03:06PM
Just listen to Pierre McGuire on the first goal against Reimer. The shot gets by him, through traffic, and he immediately starts prattling on and on about how James Reimer keeps his glove hand low and other teams know that and now teams are shooting glove side high and that's how James Reimer got beat.
Pierre McGuire: A lot of people talking about shooting high on James Reimer cause his glove is low. Let's see where his glove is in this situation. ... He elevates the puck doesn't look like there's a lot of traffic watch where the glove is it's down by [Reimer's] hip. That might have been touched going in. That being said a lot of teams are elevating the puck on James Reimer.
There's only one problem with that: the shot was tipped by Chad LaRose standing in front of the net and went under Reimer's glove as he butterflyed.
In the past weeks we've heard more and more about James Reimer's glove hand and it's starting to become an echo chamber, the cliche we apply to say that a large group of people are enacting confirmation bias en masse. Let's do some critical thinking here.
First off refer to Gabe Desjardin's post from November of last year where he created a heat map from shooting data from the Finnish league. It's not the NHL but I think it's probably instructive:
Frequency of FNL Goal Locations via Behindthenethockey.com
Look where most goals are scored: the top two corners of the net. That's for every goalie in the league cumulatively so from this image we've learned something: most goals are scored in the top corners of the net. So it's not that a lot of teams are elevating the puck on James Reimer, most goals are scored up high so most shots are probably intended to go high, it's that a lot of teams elevate the puck on every goalie they face.
Reimer's had two rough games in his past ten, the Chicago game standing out as particularly bad, but after 22 GP in the NHL he sits with a .921 SV%. He saved 36 of 37 shots last night (0.973) in a four point game for the Leafs and Hurricanes. If teams have figured Reimer out why are the only two teams to light him up teams that also score a lot of goals?
Tampa is playing very well this year and Chicago was on an insane tear when they thumped the Leafs at home.
Lightning shell Reimer and Leafs - The Globe and Mail
Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Guy Boucher said his staff heavily scouted the Leafs rookie netminder heading into Monday's night's game, which went onto become a 6-2 loss and one of Reimer's worst outings on the year.
Leafs coach Ron Wilson disagreed that teams had begun to solve Reimer, despite the fact his numbers have fallen considerably the past few weeks.
"I think he looked tired," Wilson said. "Buffalo wasn't on to him [in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sabres] and they've seen him a couple times and Tampa suddenly got onto him?
Reimer still sits at a .921 save percentage after 22 games played in the NHL. Ron Wilson makes his point pretty well; if Reimer's glove hand is so bad that a team like Tampa can just scout it and run the Leafs over why didn't Buffalo beat him? Why did Carolina give up two easy points at home last night by shooting anywhere else?
Most goals are scored high on the net which means most goalies allow goals over their blocker and glove. Reimer, as his numbers show, is fine.
I think it's shocking that you believe frequency diagrams and statistics will show what buzz-words and clip-art could've disproved in a much snappier manner.
I also heard Pierre McQuire say that PK Subban did everything right on a goal where he let Ovechkin beat him wide and then throw the puck infront of the net.
If Pierre McQuire told me the sky was blue I would go out a check.

Chlamydia (kluh-MID-ee-uh) is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). You may not know you have chlamydia because many people never develop the signs or symptoms, such as genital pain and discharge from the vagina or penis.
Chlamydia affects both men and women and occurs in all age groups, though it's most prevalent among young women. Chlamydia isn't difficult to treat once you know you have it. If left untreated, however, chlamydia can lead to more-serious health problems.
Early-stage chlamydia infections often cause few or no signs and symptoms. When signs or symptoms occur, they usually start one to three weeks after exposure to chlamydia. Even when signs and symptoms occur, they're often mild and passing, making them easy to overlook.
Signs and symptoms of chlamydia infection may include:
See your doctor if you have a discharge from your vagina or penis or if you have pain during urination. Also, see your doctor if your sexual partner reveals that he or she has chlamydia. You should take an antibiotic even if you have no symptoms.
Chlamydia is caused by bacteria and is most commonly spread through vaginal, oral and anal sex. It's also possible for a mother to spread chlamydia to her child during delivery, causing pneumonia or a serious eye infection in her newborn.
Factors that increase your risk of chlamydia include:
Chlamydia can be associated with:
If you think you have a sexually transmitted infection, such as chlamydia, make an appointment to see your family doctor.
Before your appointment, prepare to answer the following questions:
You also might want to prepare a list of questions to ask your doctor. Sample questions include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
Because of the chance of other health problems if you contract chlamydia, ask your doctor how often you should have chlamydia screening tests if you're at risk. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends chlamydia screening for:
Screening and diagnosis of chlamydia is relatively simple. Tests include:
A swab. For women, your doctor takes a swab of the discharge from your cervix for culture or antigen testing for chlamydia. This can be done during a routine Pap test. Some women prefer to swab their vaginas themselves, which has been shown to be as diagnostic as doctor-obtained swabs.
For men, your doctor inserts a slim swab into the end of your penis to get a sample from the urethra. In some cases, your doctor may swab the anus.
If you've been treated for an initial chlamydia infection, you should be retested in about three months.
Chlamydia is treated with antibiotics. You may receive a one-time dose, or you may need to take the medication daily or multiple times a day for five to 10 days.
In most cases, the infection resolves within one to two weeks. During that time, you should abstain from sex. Your sexual partner or partners also need treatment even if they have no signs or symptoms. Otherwise, the infection can be passed back and forth between sexual partners.
Having chlamydia or having been treated for it in the past provides no immunity against reinfection in the future.
The surest way to prevent a chlamydia infection is to abstain from sexual activities. Short of that, you can:

One would think from just looking at the headline and the reaction that he arrived in a drunken stupor.
One would think from just looking at the headline and the reaction that he arrived in a drunken stupor.
He looks great.
Um, at least his underwear isn't showing?
I like wearing a suit for formal occasions, but I'd like to relax in comfortable cloths and don't even want to wear makeup during a long flight. Kokubo wore that uniform suit neatly at ceremonies back home. How he wears it during a long flight trip with bags to carry is IMO within a range of discretion.
was it manditory to wear the uniform? if so - wear it the way it's supposed to be worn.
I'll bet if he got on the plane and got settled and the plane took off and he was under one of those blankets he could have gotten more comfy in them and no one would have noticed.
I totally understand wanting to be comfy, I don't wear contacts make up or anything like that and normally have pj pants on and wear flip flops for shoes.
Kokubo unfortunately fell after trying a big trick but still finished at 8th. Congrats!!
Hmm, I had no idea there was any kind of bruhaha about snowboarder's appearances. But yet last night, when I was watching the qualifications and finals, I couldn't help but think what a completely different attitude snowboarders have rom other Olympic athletes, and how obvious it is. It's almost like there's no dignity, with pants half-way down your hips, rocking out and singing along to your iPod mere seconds from (and during!) your competition run.
I realize that's the culture and atmosphere of snowboarding, just like it is for skateboarding and other X-games-type sports. It just clashes with the general Olympic atmosphere, though.
I don't really want snowboarders to go all stuffy in their demeanor and whatnot, but surely there's a happy middle that's somewhere in between hippy-dippy rebel/casual-practically seeing your boxers and acting like an old Soviet gymnast. (Not that I'm knocking them either. )
Does that make sense?

The program described below was not continued for FY 2006-2009 under SAFETEA-LU. Projects funded in FY 1999-2005 under TEA-21 may proceed under applicable instructions but new projects for future funding are not being identified.
The National Corridor Planning and Development Program (NCPD program) and the Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program (CBI program) are discretionary grant programs funded by a single funding source. These programs provide funding for planning, project development, construction and operation of projects that serve border regions near Mexico and Canada and high priority corridors throughout the United States. States and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are, under the NCPD program, eligible for discretionary grants for: Corridor feasibility; corridor planning; multistate coordination; environmental review; and construction. Border States and MPOs are, under the CBI program, eligible for discretionary grants for: Transportation and safety infrastructure improvements, operation and regulatory improvements, and coordination and safety inspection improvements in a border region.
Take a look at the TEA-21 Fact Sheet on Borders & Corridors. Or take a look an article about the program, CORBOR Improves Safety, Mobility, and Productivity, from the September 1999 issue of Public Roads magazine.
DOT is conducting an online outreach on reauthorization. To reach an appropriate website to think about and then furnish your comments go to: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/reauthorization/
The FHWA has developed a comprehensive report on the 5 year history of the program. The report is entitled, The National Corridor Planning and Development and Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program: History, Evaluation and Results. (Since the release of this report in May 2003, there have been several extensions of TEA-21 as well as an FY 2004 budget appropriation, which together provided FY 2004 funding that is not reflected in the appendixes of the report. This link provides the FY 2004 data supplementing earlier information). Images and narratives of four specific NCPD/CBI projects are also available.
The FHWA will not be soliciting full applications for fiscal year (FY) 2002 National Corridor Planning and Development Program and the Coordinated Border Infrastructure (NCPD/CBI) Program funds. Additionally, the FHWA does not plan to solicit applications for FY 2003 NCPD/CBI Program funds until Congress completes action on the FY 2003 U.S. DOT Appropriations Act. Finally, the FHWA does not plan to solicit statements of intent to apply for FY 2003 NCPD/CBI Program before or after action on the FY 2003 U.S. DOT Appropriations Act.
To publicize the Corridors and Borders program and highlight the FY 2000 application process, FHWA held a series of workshops in fall 1999 in Baltimore, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, and Phoenix.
The Executive Summary, as well as the full Summary Report are available. Workshop reports from Baltimore, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, and Phoenix are also available.

TUPELO – Elvis Presley's birthday gifts include festival announcements, lights at his statue and, of course, cake.
The King of Rock 'n' Roll's 78th birthday culminated with entertainer announcements for the 15th annual Tupelo Elvis Presley Festival, which include rock band Cowboy Mouth on Friday night and country stars Montgomery Gentry on Saturday night.
When Montgomery Gentry's name was read at the announcement party at Park Heights on Tuesday, several in attendance gasped. That was music to the ears of Russell Conerly, a festival chairman.
"I think we'll start with that and built on that," he said.
The lineup is not complete and should be finished soon; tickets will go on sale soon after.
Brent Farrar, a Tupelo artist, painted the 2013 festival poster, a watercolor featuring the Elvis statue in Fairpark.
Just before the poster was unveiled, the statue was lit thanks to Philips' donation of locally made lights, and it was unveiled at the Park Heights meeting.
"We unveiled the statue on Aug. 9, 2012, and we can see from our offices nearly every day people from all over the country and all over the world hold that hand and take that picture," said Tupelo Mayor Jack Reed Jr. "But no one's had the chance to have their picture taken at night, until now."
Elvis' birthday celebrations began at the Elvis Presley Birthplace on Tuesday afternoon.
Fans from England, Pakistan, Cuba and closer to home enjoyed birthday cake and sang "Happy Birthday."
Booneville resident Shirley Cain, 71, was invited to cut the birthday cake because it was her birthday, too. As a big Elvis fan, it was an honor.
"I've loved him. I've always loved him dearly," she said.
After the cake, fans filed into the theater to screen a 15-minute music video-style film featuring the Tupelo Unity Choir. The film, commissioned by the Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau and made by John Wee and Roy Turner, featured the choir performing all over Tupelo.
The Unity Choir performed a 45-minute set following the movie, moving many in the audience to tears.
Jerri Price, an Elvis fan from Lillian, Ala., has been coming to the birthplace to celebrate Elvis' birth for 10 years, and this year marks one of her favorite celebrations.
"It's been wonderful," she said. "Elvis fans would love this, because it's what he loved. I was just sitting here thinking, 'He'd be so proud of this.'"

Harrisburg Unit 3 schools is hosting a forum regarding the ballot question that affects funding for a new high school 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Harrisburg High School Media Center.
The question is seeking authorization to issue up to $29 million in alternate revenue bonds. These are bonds backed by the 1 percent school sales tax. The law requires back up sources of revenue in the event the sales tax revenue decreases, according to an e-mail from board member Matt Winkleman. In this case it is first general state aid then property tax.
The scenario where property tax is levied to make this bond payment is inconceivable, according to Winkleman.
