South Africa remained unbeaten in Pool D and move on to the RWC quarter-finals after beating Samoa 13-5 at North Harbour Stadium.
South Africa remained unbeaten in Pool D and move on to the World Cup quarter-finals after beating Samoa 13-5 at North Harbour Stadium on Friday.
Samoa knew going in that it would be a tough ask to make it into the quarter-finals, but no one ever doubted they would fight until the final whistle.
There was a smidge of 'what might have been' attached to the result though for the islanders as had Mahonri Schwalger grounded a score, who knows what might of happened in the final stages. As it was the reigning champions had enough in the tank to stave off their opponents.
The Springboks came out with intent and quickly set about using their star player of the tournament thus far, Danie Rossouw, to make the metres. Nothing came of their foray after Morne Steyn sliced a drop-goal attempt, but the marker was laid that they weren't going to lose the physical.
South Africa tried for the opening points again moments later when Frans Steyn had a 60-metre penalty shot after good breakdown work from Heinrich Brüssow. That struck the crossbar in what turned out to only be delaying the inevitable as the Bok power soon shone through. They attacked down the left via Schalk Burger, who used his backline, which allowed Bryan Habana to cross in the corner. Morne Steyn's conversion made it 7-0 on ten minutes.
Samoa needed to up the ante and subsequently played to their strengths, with carrying from George Stowers and Seilala Mapusua making ground. That passage certainly let the Boks know they were not going to have it all their own way in Albany as slowly but surely Samoa gained momentum, being willed on by their passionate supporters. It was also apparent South Africa were not going to enjoy a similar score of their triumphs in 2007 and 2003.
That was not to say the Boks were struggling to make their presence felt, and with Frans Steyn sending over a 65-metre penalty on 25 minutes, they knew territory was not going to be a problem. That three was promptly doubled by namesake Morne two minutes later too as Samoa were penalised at scrum-time. 13-0 it was with barely half-an-hour played as Samoa's hopes looked to be getting even slimmer. Wales' fate was also almost known.
North Harbour Stadium was treated to a pulsating finish to the half when Kahn Fotuali'i broke down the right wing before handing on to Mapusua, but the ex-Exiles centre's Hail Mary pass failed to find its man, sending the teams in at 13-0 in favour of the Springboks.
It was a bumper 29,734 crowd on Friday that while packed into an open stadium, did not lack in atmosphere with the vocal Bok fans met by the islanders. And the former were soon to be silenced by a mass of noise from those waving blue and red as a lovely dummy and run from Tusi Pisi unlocked the defence. His offload to Mapusua was then recycled for Stowers to crash in. Pisi missed the kick that would have brought them within one score.
South Africa could have blamed that swing in momentum on the fact they had lost duo Habana and Rossouw, who later returned, to injuries minutes earlier. However, that is doing a disservice to Samoa who were turning up the heat on their rivals during the opening 20 minutes of the second stanza. The Boks needed to some fresh legs and Peter de Villiers oblidged, throwing on forwards Gurthrö Steenkamp and Willem Alberts for the last quarter.
It did little disarm the Samoan assault though as they kept on coming, mixing power up front with stepping wider out until Schwalger came within touching distance of the line before fumbling. Was that to be the moment that would haunt his outfit in the morning?
That it proved to be as an ill-tempered finish that saw Paul Williams sent-off for pushing Brüssow in the face and then John Smit shown yellow after a deliberate slap-down, ultimately ended Samoa's 2011. South Africa are now set to face the Wallabies.
Man of the match: Although on the losing side, Tusi Pisi again showed that he had a big future leading Samoa. The fly-half was light on his feet throughout and marshalled well, finding holes on more than one occasion. Mentions too for Bok props Tendai Mtawarira and Jannie du Plessis at scrum-time and also flanker Schalk Burger, who was a genuine nuisance to Maurie Fa'asavalu and George Stowers. David Lemi was also very impressive.
Moment of the match: Had captain Mahonri Schwalger managed to hold onto the ball when reaching out on 66 minutes, maybe the Samoans were on the verge of something historic. But it was not meant to be as even with John Smit going to the sin-bin soon after, South Africa held on to top the Pool and set up a probable last-eight clash with Australia.
Villain of the match: It was played hard but fair until Paul Williams pushed/punched Heinrich Brüssow after being held at a breakdown. Williams will be upset with how he ended the tournament as the frustration got the better of him.

Oh, Kathy!!!ReplyCancel
Isn't that sexual harassment? Seriously, can you imagine if a man on television continually groped and put his mouth on his unwilling female co-worker's vagina??
And holy shit HER FACE. She was homely before all the surgery but man she's off the charts at this point. Yikes.ReplyCancel
Me either. My friend got pissed off at me because I didn't want to go with her to see Kathy's stand up when she came to my city.ReplyCancel
This happened well after midnight almost 45 minutes after 12 actually. I watched parts of it because I love mah bou Anderson. They are close friends in real life, have been doing the New Year's Eve show for 6 years and yes she is over the top. Like she acts every year. Big deal.ReplyCancel
If I knew Anderson wasn't in a long-term relationship it would be funnier, but Kathy seems to get away with stuff other comedians can't. She's so spontaneous it's hard to be mad at her.
She fascinates me in that she has taken herself from sort of average-looking to pretty glam.ReplyCancel
lol. I love Kathy. She's very honest in that she loves to push the envelope to almost getting fired and SHE LOVES PRESS. The more people complain the more giddy she is.
the controversy just thrills her. At least she's up front with it. There's no hiding that. While sometimes she's cheezy, I also think she's hilarious. I mean, its a joke. And what little kids are still up near 1 am watching cnn? No harm, no foul.
I watched and loved it. Kathy always comes up with something outrageous, that's why she's there. For Anderson, it humanizes him, which definitely helps. It is funny to watch him anticipate Kathy. He gets better at it every year. They are an odd couple, but it works.ReplyCancel
I wonder if she would have done this if Coop was straight?ReplyCancel
I think Kathy is hilarious. /endofstoryReplyCancel
I watch them every year and this is just part of her routine! She likes to push the envelope and specially push Anderson's buttons which is usually funny.ReplyCancel
I didn't watch the countdown with AC and KG because I can't stand her, although I love the Silver Fox. We switched to it after midnight and I hate to admit I thought it was pretty funny, especially his comments that "this would be a first for me". My hubby thought it went on waaay too long, until it wasn't funny anymore. As soon as they did the bit about "kissing the tuna" in Maine or wherever, CNN shoulda known what was coming next. Even boring ol' me thought it was a perfect set up for a bj joke….ReplyCancel
she is soooo desperate to be viewed as a sex object (or at the very least, "*&ckable" to men), and always has.
she needs new priorities, as this 'ish is O.L.DReplyCancel
I thought it was funny as hell, but she needs to know when to stop. It went on too long. She talks so fast and says so many funny things in a low voice I have to really pay attention to her. I'd rather watch these two than Ryan Seacrest and Jenny McCarthy any day.ReplyCancel
I thought she got some work right after the first season of her talk show ended–her eyes got much pointy-er and her cheekbones look different.
I usually love Kathy but she didn't seem to have much material ready this time and the little she did have wore thin pretty quick. She seemed a little off to me.
At this point with Anderson showing he's as into the cheesy as she is on his daytime talk show, her trying to embarrass him isn't as funny –you know it's their schtick now and he is prepared for it.ReplyCancel
Hero of the stupid.
Derivative. (Um, starting? to look like Joan Rivers. Please. Her entire act is based on Joan)
Sexless. despite talking about sex constantly.
Not entertaining in any way.
A mean old bitch who hides behind a pose of pitiful desperation. I guess she makes other pitiful desperate bitches and creeps feel better about themselves. Great.
I'm no prig either, but I despise her and I think she is a disgusting person for making fun of people who self-inflict injuries and suffer with depression, etc. It's not just for "emo" kids. It is a real problem, and most times not so much a cry for attention as it is a way of punishing yourself because you feel like you don't deserve to live…ReplyCancel
I didn't watch the vid yet, but he doesn't look mad! lolReplyCancel
I watched this as it was happening and it was hilarious! If you find it offensive, turn the channel to one of the other NYE programs. It was funny watching Anderson squirm and yes, she is obnoxious, but she was just being her (they keep hiring her!!). C'mon! Anderson has to always be so proper on screen, this was a welcome change.
What I was offended by: Jenny McCarthy's new face and the fact that they muted the Sushi drag queen when he tried to congratulate Anderson on coming out. Boo!!ReplyCancel
I imagine the two of them acting like this together in real life – crazy, crass, fun!! Suspect alcohol was involved and Kathy just took it to the next level on screen – love it, as long as AC doesn't mind (which I doubt he does – he's trying not to laugh).
Come on, 'kissing the sardine'??! That's just funny stuff.
Also looooove that she's trying to see how far she can push CNN. Go Ka-thy; Go Ka-thy!ReplyCancel

Fast and Furious Linked to Immunity Deal Between U.S. and Sinaloa Cartel, Trafficking Defendant Alleges in Court Papers
A Mexican drug trafficker awaiting trial in a Chicago federal court claims that the notorious Sinaloa cartel received weapons from "Operation Fast and Furious" under an alleged immunity agreement that the U.S. government made with cartel leaders, in exchange for information on rival gangs.
The defendant in a trafficking case before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Vicente Jesus Zambada-Niebla, also claims the immunity deal allowed the criminal cartel to "continue to smuggle tons of illicit drugs" into the United States.
He wants the U.S. government to provide documents relating to the botched gun running sting operation along the southwest border, arguing that it would benefit his defense.
Operation Fast and Furious, which began in September 2009, saw the Phoenix office of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives supervise the sale of guns to straw purchasers with the intent of tracing the guns to Mexican drug trafficking organizations and prosecuting their members. The ATF allowed about 2,000 guns to be sold in this manner.
The operation came under congressional scrutiny after it was linked to the December 2010 murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry at the hands of Mexican bandits.
An investigative report, spearheaded by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), found that most of the weapons provided to Mexican criminals under the operation were going to the Sinaloa cartel, arguably one of the world's largest drug trafficking organizations.
In a court pleading filed last July, Zambada-Niebla made the claims about an immunity deal.
"Mr. Zambada-Niebla believes that the documentation that he requests will confirm that the weapons received by Sinaloa Cartel members and its leaders in Operation 'Fast & Furious' were provided under the agreement entered into between the United States government and [a Mexican lawyer] on behalf of the Sinaloa Cartel that is the subject of his defense...," it said.
"Mr. Zambada-Niebla believes that the documentation will also provide evidence showing that the United States government has a policy and pattern of providing benefits, including immunity, to cartel leaders, including the Sinaloa Cartel and their members, who are willing to provide information against rival drug cartels."
The defendant argued that he is protected from federal prosecution for trafficking drugs into the U.S. between 2004 and 2009 under an alleged immunity deal struck between the U.S. government and Sinaloa leaders.
According to court documents, Zambada-Niebla claims that the immunity deal provided the cartel's leadership with "carte blanche to continue to smuggle tons of illicit drugs into Chicago and the rest of the United States" in exchange for information on rival drug cartels.
U.S. prosecutors deny the existence of such an immunity deal between the U.S. government and the cartel.
Nevertheless, the U.S. government last September filed a motion to invoke the Classified Information Procedures Act, which is aimed at assuring that national security information stemming from criminal cases such as details associated with CIA operations are not leaked to the public during court proceedings.
In a court pleading filed in September, U.S. prosecutors claimed that Zambada-Niebla's allegations about Fast and Furious have no merit.
"Defendant requests all information in the possession of the U.S. government related to an ATF investigation referred to as 'Fast and Furious'..." it said. "Defendants request related to Fast and Furious... and other unrelated matters are gratuitous and wholly unrelated to any legitimate discovery issues in this case."
Zambada-Niebla, who was arrested in Mexico in March 2009 and extradited to the U.S. eleven months later, is accused of smuggling tons of cocaine and heroin into the U.S.
He claims he was working on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI, and U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, court documents show.
The defendant's pleading highlighted a July 2011 letter sent by Issa and Grassley to Attorney General Eric Holder, "suggesting that multiple United States agencies were employing as informants members of Mexican drug organizations."
"The evidence seems to indicate that the Justice Department not only allowed criminals to smuggle weapons, but that tax payers' dollars in the form of informant payments, may have financed those engaging in such activities," the pleading added.
I don't even know where to begin on this, but F+F keeps sounding more and more like Omoslem.
D'OH! The MSM can't take this story away from the alternate media and give the story legs until there is someway to blame Bush . . . come on think, people!
Follow the money. Either our military is incompetent or totally in on it.
Our military does what they are told to do by the the President.
What does our military have to do with it?
I wonder how many in our government are on the cartels payroll? Just too much easy money floating around.
...in exchange for information on rival gangs.Zero will negotiate with anyone, without conditions -- other than the condition that it damages US interests.
0bama, Holder and the whole lot of them are sponsors of terrorism, murder, drug trafficking, human slavery, money laundering and arms trafficking with intent to undermine a sovereign friendly nation. They have shamed the United States beyond all imagining.
Nevertheless, the U.S. government last September filed a motion to invoke the Classified Information Procedures Act, which is aimed at assuring that national security information stemming from criminal cases such as details associated with CIA operations are not leaked to the public during court proceedings.
That is just freaking hilarious.

Wonder how much money was contributed to campaign coffers:
Mexican cartels === Chicago mob === political contributions === US government. Pay to play at it's best.
No wonder they aren't serious about closing the border.
Good gad.
Is Barry funding his election campaign with illegal drug sales.....
Kindly refrain from impugning the integrity of 'The Chicago Mob'.
The guns and drugs involved went to Mexican Street Gangs 'prolly', the Latin Kings and others like them across the city. 'The Mob' or as they're also known, 'The Outfit', would never deal with scum like those involved in F&F.
It's bad enough when they have to deal with the scummy Chicago Politicians. But fortunately they (The Mob) can go to confession and do penance for that.
Thank you.
Honest Frankie he meant no offense. Please don't whack him and stick him in a car trunk out at O'Hare Airport.
Good question. Obama is planning an all out anti gun campaign. Bring it on. It will provide the perfect opportunity for our candidate to hit him on F&F.
This is sounding more and more like a Tom Clancy novel every day.

Big Govt (Crony) Socialism - choosing the winners and losers in the illegal drug cartels.
Our government has been involved in this crap for 50 years, remember it was not long after the CIA was Caught red handed smuggling cocaine and made public through the Kerry Commission, that the Attorney General under Reagan, William French Smith, went before Congress, begged for and received "Special Permission" to continue their DRUG SMUGGLING OPERATION. See Michael Reagan if you don't believe, cuz it is absolutely established FACT. So why would anybody be surprised.
The worst part about this story is it's ring of truth and the fact that it is very believable.
Our government has sunk so low that this incredible story is probably true.
Be careful here, folks.
First, drug kingpins lie about everything and should not be trusted, even if their story sounds plausible.
Second, Sinaloa is competing with Los Zetas. If this was an effort to disrupt Los Zetas, it could fly back into our faces. You see, Los Zetas are linked to Hezballah and have been helping the islamists establish camps in Mexico.
If Obama/Holder come out in the weeks before the 2012 election with arrests of islamists in Mexico due to intelligence gathered by the Sinaloa cartel, they could look like heroes (despite 300+ dead in the US and Mexico)
We have been setup before on stories (the Michelle tapes), so let's keep our powder dry.

Obama could appear on LIVE TV and say ah akbar and eat something dead with blood dripping all over his face and his eyes girate about all evil and he would still be the president and the media would still cover for him;not a soul would say impeachment,obstruction or corruption and if anyone dared to say anything bad about him they are just racists move along nothing to see here.
Mine did the same...Maybe it's a FR problem.
Are you sure Greta was not just playing devil-advocate? She could have been setting Rush up to make the point, but still staying within the FOX guideline of not attacking the gov without proof in hand. Tend to think the smile was a check of accomplishment. I've seen her set up others, it seems to be her MO. She's good at it....very smooth.

No, you don't have to wonder really. There is so much about this, drips and drabs, from money laundering to gunrunning and back again, BTW, this is not the first cartel member to make these charges. The other one's case is under seal now.
This whole thing is very ugly, and it is not limited to Mexico. Look what is happening to Honduras.
Drug boss shocker: I was a DEA snitch
Chicago Sun-Times (IL) - Sunday, August 7, 2011
Author: BY FRANK MAIN ; Staff email@example.com
Most of the Sinaloa Cartels communications with the DEA were through a cartel lawyer, Humberto Loya-Castro, according to Zambada-Niebla. He says Loya-Castro fed information to agents about rival cartels starting before 2004. Criminal charges against Loya-Castro in San Diego were dropped in 2008 because of his cooperation, Zambada-Niebla says.
In March 2009, Loya-Castro arranged for Zambada-Niebla to meet DEA agents at a Sheraton Hotel in Mexico City, according to the court filing.
Zambada-Niebla says he gave the U.S. drug agents information about rival cartels and, in return, was assured that a pending indictment against him in Washington, D.C., would be dismissed and that he would be immune from further prosecution.
The indictment against Zambada-Niebla charges him and about three dozen other defendants with conspiring to import tons of cocaine and multi-kilo quantities of heroin to Chicago and elsewhere between 2005 and 2008. He is being held under high security in a federal lockup in downtown Chicago.
Zambada-Niebla claims that his cartels criminal activities were sanctioned by the regional assistant for the DEA in South America as well as by the general director of the DEA for Mexico and DEA agents in several Mexican cities including Monterrey, Hermosillo and Mexico City. He says in the court filing that agents from the FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement were involved, too.
He also says that DEA officials tipped Loya-Castro about U.S. and Mexican investigations, allowing top Sinaloa Cartel leaders such as Joaquin Chapo Guzman-Loera and Zambada-Niebla s own father, Ismael El Mayo Zambada, to avoid capture.
Those men, also charged in the Chicago case, remain fugitives. Guzman-Loera is considered one of the worlds top drug kingpins.
The United States government and its various agencies have a long history of providing benefits, permission and immunity to criminals and their organizations to commit crimes, including murder, in return for receiving information against other criminals, Zambada-Niebla s court filing says. Perhaps no better example is the celebrated case of Whitey Bulger, the Boston crime boss and murderer, who, along with other members of criminal organizations, were given carte blanche by the FBI to commit murders in order to receive information about the Italian mafia and other criminal organizations in the New England area.
Bulger, 81, was arrested June 22 in California after 16 years on the lam. His FBI handler, former Boston FBI agent John Connolly Jr., was convicted of racketeering and obstruction of justice in 2002 for warning Bulger in 1994 that he was going to be indicted. Bulger is accused of killing 19 people.
As with Bulger, the U.S. government turned a blind eye to the crimes the Sinaloa Cartel committed, Zambada-Niebla says in his court filing.
Zambada-Niebla is seeking documents to show whether Sinaloa Cartel leaders received weapons as part of their alleged cooperation with U.S. agents.

Ten Alleged Mexican Drug Cartel Leaders Among 43 Defendants Indicted in Brooklyn and Chicago as Part of Coordinated Strike Against Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations

Mexico Seems To Favor Sinaloa Cartel In Drug War
U.S. federal agents allegedly cut a deal with the Sinaloa drug cartel that allowed it to traffic tons of narcotics across the border, in exchange for information about rival cartels, according to documents filed in federal court
The allegations are made by Vicente Zambada-Niebla, a top ranking cartel boss extradited to the U.S. last year on drug charges. He is a close associate of Mexico's most wanted man, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and the son of Ismael "Mayo" Zambada-Garcia
The deal allegedly began with Humberto Loya-Castro, a Sinaloa cartel lawyer who became an informant for the D.E.A. after a drug case against him was dismissed in 2008.
According to the motion, the deal was part of a 'divide and conquer' strategy, where the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa cartel, through Operation Fast and Furious, in exchange for information that allowed the D.E.A. and FBI to destroy and dismantle rival Mexican cartels. Operation Fast and Furious is the failed Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives anti-gun trafficking program which allowed thousand of guns to cross into Mexico.Fox News

Why ASGT?
Been there, taken that. Or have you?
The world of sports supplements has seen its share of pre-workout products. Weve all seen these so-called performance enhancing powders on the shelf at our brick and mortar shop or at the online retailer. It seems every company has their own version of what they consider the best pre-workout product, but whos fooling who here? When compared side by side, nearly every product is the exact same. They promise to get you jacked or make you explode, but were calling BS on them! There has not been one single groundbreaking or differentiating formula until now.
LG Sciences Anadraulic State GT is the WORLDS FIRST Kinetic Amplification System. While it is a pre-workout performance product, Anadraulic State GT is made to skyrocket your athletic edge inside the gym, while putting you in a state of growth and repair outside of the gym. Anadraulic State GT was designed and formulated to improve body composition, build muscle, catapult strength, increase athletic endurance, increase aerobic and anaerobic capacity, lower (xeno)estrogen, increase testosterone, shuttle key nutrients, and so much more!
Who uses Anadraulic State GT?
Bodybuilders, powerlifters, MMA fighters, cyclists and many other athletes are beginning to see the difference Anadraulic State GT makes in their training. Users continually send us feedback telling us what sounds like big fish stories about how theyve finally broken through a plateau or managed to break another record in a competition or meet.
Can Anadraulic State GT be used prior to other activities?
Without a doubt, yes it can. Not surprisingly, people arent just taking Anadraulic State GT before they train. Sure, that may have been where it started, but us supplement fiends know how fun it can be to experiment with these workout aids in out-of-gym settings.
Anadraulic State GT can be used prior to:
* The club or bar to increase confidence, energy, and libido
* Poker games to increase cognitive performance and to stay on your A game
* Parkour to increase endurance
* Wakeboarding, skateboarding, snowboarding, paintball, or other extreme sports to increase your focus, energy, and skill
Anadraulic State GT can be used for nearly ANY type of activity!
There is no doubt that LG Sciences Anadraulic State GT is quickly becoming the most popular and sought-after pre-workout performance powder on the market. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts across the globe are increasing their performance and competitive drive by taking advantage of this groundbreaking concoction; delivering what many describe as incredible energy, focus and strength gains.
Interested in the science behind Anadraulic State GT? Your answers are right here:
There are multiple complexes in Anadraulic State GT. Each complex serves its own purpose in creating the most advanced physique-altering concoction to be found on the pre-workout market.
Adaptogenic Complex:
Adaptogens are an essential part of the Anadraulic State GT formula; they help your body adapt to stress and reduce fatigue. Quercetin, the first component of the complex, is not just a powerful antioxidant which has been shown to support immune function, but studies have shown that it also can increase exercise performance[1], increase endurance[2] and decrease fatigue[3]. Schizandra Berry Extact is another adaptogen in the complex which research has shown is correlated with increased physical performance and stress protective effects.[4] Mulberry extract is also included, and from a study from the Indian Journal of Pharmacology claims possesses significant adaptogenic activity.[5]
Xenoestrogen Control Complex:
The (xeno)estrogen control complex is composed of ellagic acid, trans-resveratrol and (3beta)-3-Hydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid. Ellagic acid is a polyphenol derived from plants and aside from its antioxidant properties, has been shown to block (xeno)estrogen at the receptor level through research which explains its behavior as a natural selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM)![6] In addition to this, trans-resveratrol is included which also has been shown to have anti-(xeno)estrogen properties.[7] (3beta)-3-Hydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid is a steroidal skeleton aromatase inhibitor which may prevent or decrease the biosynthesis of (xeno)estrogen.
Creatine Complex:
The creatine complex provides a hefty dose of over 2 grams of creatine blend per scoop. Creatine increases strength and exercise output while the beta-alanine in the complex increases carnosine levels in muscle cellsin fact some studies have shown increases of over 60%![8]. Carnosine is important because it acts as a buffer in muscle cells to control acidity. This increased buffering capacity may result in delayed fatigue and, like creatine, improved performance and muscular capacity.
Stimulant Complex:
Face it, no pre-workout would be complete without one of the most prominent and commonly used ingredients in the supplement industry; caffeine. With about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee in each scoop, Anadraulic State GT users get the focus, alertness and energy that caffeine is known to give. Synephrine, another naturally occurring stimulant, is paired with caffeine to enhance energy and acts synergistically. Synephrine stimulates the beta-3 receptors and increases the metabolic rate while simultaneously boosts energy levels.
Amino Acid Complex:
Amino acids are the building blocks of muscle and this complex gives you the hydrolyzed protein and amino acids you need to make the most of each workout. Hydrolyzed proteins get absorbed faster and can be used readily during intense training. A hefty dose of leucine is included, too, helping spare muscle during intense workouts. Leucine is the most effective branched chain amino acid at preventing muscle loss due to its easy conversion to glucose.
pSARM Complex:
The hibiscus rosa-sinensis extract contains pSARMs, which have been suggested to act like testosterone in muscle tissue and produce anabolic effects; this may lead to accelerated recovery, reduced estrogen, and increases in nitric oxide synthase activity! Osthol is also added to the complex for its androgen-like effects and enhances the potency of Anadraulic State GT. Research studies suggest that osthol could increase androgen, gonadotropin and nitric oxide synthase activity[9], giving you the muscle building edge!
Carbohydrate Complex:
Carbohydrates provide the fuel your body needs during intense training. With dextrose and waxy maize starch, Anadraulic State GT provides the carbohydrates you need to keep fueled in the gym, and create unbelievable nutrient delivery capability. Additionally, dextrose has a sweet flavor, making Anadraulic State GT even more delicious!
So whats the bottom line?
Its quite simple, really: If youre using a pre-workout powder other than LG Sciences Anadraulic State GT, chances are that youre significantly slowing your progress, or even worse, setting it stagnant.
Dont waste your hard training and dieting by taking some over-hyped garbage pre-workout product that claims to be ultra-concentrated (after all, youre not buying laundry detergent) when in fact youre just paying more for less. That tiny bottle of theirs isnt fooling us, and we dont want it to fool you either!
Anadraulic State GT is synonymous with PR-breaking workouts. The fact that its so inexpensive is just a plus for you! Add it to your supplement regimen to see and feel the difference for yourself. Youll power through workouts like never before and reach goals that seemed years away!

For example, an editor of Greek texts may use it to reproduce a ligatured word in the manuscript that could be interpreted in different ways. Since the first printers adopted this style of writing for their type, the font can also be used to represent, say, an incunabulum. Many ligatures and abbreviations remained in use up until the eighteenth century.

If you are talking about AAA themeparks, I would have to throw SWTOR into that category. I think playing dark side on the empire lets you do some pretty evil things. I don't think it gets much more evil than lying, torturing and wantonly murdering people. But that is scripted and you are forced down a predetermined path of evil. It's not very meaningful, unless you like to be scripted into the role of being a villain.
I think SWTOR would give you what you're looking for, though.
If you want to be evil (or good) in a more free form environment, you could play a game like Mortal Online or Darkfall: UW and go around camping noobs and taking all their stuff. But it wouldn't be very meaningful, I think, because there are a lot of evil players by that definition, so you wouldn't stand out much unless you were really focused on it. The better players would just find it pathetic.

All 3 of these games will allow you to be truly evil.
"Possibly we humans can exist without actually having to fight. But many of us have chosen to fight. For what reason? To protect something? Protect what? Ourselves? The future? If we kill people to protect ourselves and this future, then what sort of future is it, and what will we have become? There is no future for those who have died. And what of those who did the killing? Is happiness to be found in a future that is grasped with blood stained hands? Is that the truth?"
SWTOR doesn't allow you to be evil. It allows you a semblence of evil. It's produced evil. Very much evil-lite. May as well be called "I Can't Believe It's Not Evil."

Only game that was "themeparky" that had true honest to god factions. You could kill any NPC anywhere, anytime. Well, you could try. Obviously some NPCs were gonna kick the bloody shite out of you.

I think you've confused "chaos" with "evil"
Evil is the intent, as in where you have decided to do harm to others to further your own goals (regardless of what your goals might be).
Chaos is the act of acting without regard for others or rules itself.
That's why in D&D there is the bi-direction scale of Lawful Neutral Chaotic and Good Neutral Evil for Alignment, so you can distinguish what type of personality you are (rational, irrational, unpredictable, etc) instead of just what kind of person you are (good ort evil).
I think it is fairer to say that in swtor you are allowed to be evil, but there are more constraints to it (ie. lawful mostly, you can't really go out and kill random vendors like a maniac).
As we speak. Age of Wushu. Not only pure evil, but varing degrees of evil, neutral and good.
I'm playing a pure evil character. I've done almost no good. There are some people that are not as clean cut. For example lets say you've done 100 evil deeds and 51 good deeds. That person would be classified as a lunitic. The system allows you to be you. It ill classify you accordingly without you having to chase it.
Not only are there ranges, but there are rankings and titles and punisment. Punishment given if you school is not evil, but you are constantly doing evil deads.
Evil deeds don't just come from killing either. It's the most in depth alignment system I've played. All the way down to NPCs treating you differently depending on alignment.
Depends on what you mean by truly evil, OP.
In Mortal Kombat 9, you kill people as brutally as possible because some guy says so. In SWTOR, you are evil, but you do have a code, so it's Lawful Evil if we're going by D&D terms. In Dungeonland, you throw around a bunch of cute looking monsters that kill your friends brutally. Is that evil?
In the AVP games, you can play Aliens and Predators, and some would call those evil. In Man Hunt, you make snuff films. In a lot of open world games, like GTA and Skyrim, you can do some really evil things.
At the end of the day, the game where I felt that I was a truly dark-hearted true master of evil though, was Legacy of Kain, the 1996 original (less so in the sequels). You walk by and people are pleading for you to help them, and you hit them will a ball of vampire magic that rips off their flesh, lol. Or, you drain their blood, or transform them into a pile of maggots, or whatever. What made the game really stand out though, was the amazing voice descriptions of each power, detailing how much Kain delighted in the agony he was causing. Good times.

Like poisoning the neighbor's dog to punish the neighbor?
Or doing mutation experiments on a captured enemy?
You can do that in World of Warcraft.
Do you mean joining a guild, working your way to their elite guard and then, in the middle of a fighting tournament being watched by tens of thousands, turn on your own team and slaughter them - all part of an elaborate act of vengeance against one of the guild leaders that slighted you years before?
You can do that in EVE Online.
Do you mean forcing another player's character into the slave trade or, for a quicker but probably less profitable fix of evil, just rape and torture them for a while?
You can do that in Sociolotron.
In single player games, you've got GTA, Skyrim, and Saint's Row as three high profile examples.
There are different ways to be evil or play an evil character (two completely different things) and several MMOs support one or both to varying degrees.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Never. Milqtoast evil is the best you can manage, while still maintaining your account.
"True" evil requires you to violate other player's rights,

Test Information
Below are some of the exams that Liberal Studies students at CSUB may be required or may choose to take.
CSET-California Subject Examination for Teachers
The California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET) have been developed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) for prospective teachers who choose to or are required to meet specific requirements for certification by taking examinations.
Link: CSET-California Subject Examination for Teachers
CBEST-California Basic Educational Skills Test
The California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST) was developed to meet requirements of laws relating to credentialing and employment. This test requirement does not replace any of the other requirements of subject matter knowledge, professional preparation, and practice teaching or field experience applicable to the issuance of credentials. The CBEST is designed to test basic reading, mathematics, and writing skills found to be important for the job of an educator; the test is not designed to measure the ability to teach those skills.
Link: CBEST-California Basic Educational Skills Test
RICA-Reading Instruction Competence Assessment
Through the California Reading Initiative, California has made a major commitment to improving students' reading skills and performance. An important element of the California Reading Initiative is Education Code Section 44283, which is foremost among the efforts to improve the preservice preparation of teacher candidates. The law requires the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) to "develop, adopt, and administer a reading instruction competence assessment . . . to measure an individual's knowledge, skill, and ability relative to effective reading instruction." Evaluation Systems was contracted by the CTC to assist in the development, administration, and scoring of this assessment, which is known as the Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (RICA).

6 projects
6 projects
1 project
0 projects
|5.S.B. Funding: The recommended budget was partially met.
Progress: More work is needed in this area to achieve the goals set forth by the objective. While more than the number of studies called for have been supported, the area is underfunded (the projects have been small) and the projects do not examine all areas targeted in the objective.
Remaining gaps, needs and opportunities: Several of the funded projects relate to recreational activities, but more projects that focus on issues such as housing, employment, and quality of life (self-direction) are needed. Issues such as housing and employment may not be reflected in the portfolio data because the agencies and organizations included in the analysis may not have these topics as a primary focus, and many housing and employment-related efforts may not be specific to ASD. This area may benefit from a "practice to research" approach where already-operating programs can be evaluated for efficacy and this may help to develop more easily implementable services. Work is also needed to determine what outcome measures are informative and useful. Another issue is the scalability, as many vocational projects are very small and intensive and this is not an effective model for broad implementation. Potential funding mechanisms for these evaluations include the Dept. of Education Institute of Educational Science program for partnering researchers and educators and the NIMH Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) R25 program.

I got a sample of this toothpaste and tried it. I love it and so does my husband. I was having trouble with my gums swelling and hurting quite often. Since I have been using this toothpaste I haven't had a problem with swelling gums. The taste is also very pleasant. Have bought this again and will continue to use it.

I agree - actually does taste more like anise than cinnamon, but after one tube, will never go back to mint - also agree with another reviewer in that the nice taste makes you want to spend more time on the brushing. A little steep, but don't need to use much.

The flavor is different, I tasted more anise than cinnamon. I came to crave that taste after a while. It'll turn your brush brown, but doesn't matter...it works well and neem's so great for oral health. I don't use pastes anymore, but just discovered today their neem tooth powder, happy to see iHerb carries it, can't wait to try that one next!

Posted by Reviewer1658121 on Apr 11, 2011
Love it - feels really beneficial. I use natural toothpaste anyway, however I did have a slight gum infection which has cleared up since using this product. Delivery was by post - I have ordered 3 times now from iherb - each delivery has arrived but takes 3 to 4 weeks (to Western Australia) and the package is usually a bit knocked around. A bit concerning with no signature required as postie left package balanced on top of the mail box when it was very windy and as there was glass in in the package it was marked fragile.
good taste
Posted by Reviewer1296961 on May 27, 2011
This is a good paste to use in the evening. The cinnamon taste is very good. I prefer a mint for morning brush.
I like it!
Posted by Reviewer1471326 on Jun 15, 2011
I'm not sure if this suits most palates, but this is certainly my favourite toothpaste at the moment. I get the impression that it soothes and strengthens the teeth - the taste is also good. The colour is quite dark. I haven't been able to check if it affects the colour of the teeth.

My 82-year-old husband has been on kidney dialysis for a year. He is not a good candidate for a kidney transplant. How will we know when dialysis is no longer working and should be discontinued?
Kidney dialysis does some of the work of your kidneys when your kidneys aren't healthy enough to do it. This includes removing excess fluids and waste products from your blood, restoring electrolyte levels, and helping to control your blood pressure.
To determine how well kidney dialysis is working, your husband's doctor can check his weight and blood pressure before and after each session. Regular blood tests, such as those measuring urea and creatinine levels, and other specialized evaluations also help assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
Kidney dialysis is only part of your husband's treatment. He must also adjust to fluid and dietary restrictions and take medications. In addition, dialysis affects his time and schedule. Activities must be scheduled around the treatments. Dialysis may leave your husband feeling "washed out." Worsening health, depression and complications of dialysis may also affect how your husband feels about continuing treatment.
If the dialysis medical team doesn't periodically review your husband's overall situation, ask them to do so. These periodic reviews — which should include input from your husband and you — are important in determining how well the treatment is working.
If your husband is frustrated with a specific treatment or another medical problem, discuss it with his doctor. His doctor may be able to make some changes in the treatment that could improve his situation.
There may come a time when your husband feels he wants to stop kidney dialysis. Although he has the right to discontinue treatment, it's important to discuss the decision carefully with loved ones as well as your husband's treatment team.

HAMILTON, Ontario, Canada - Midfielder Brett Bucktooth scored the game-winning goal with 2:19 remaining in overtime as the Hamilton Nationals (3-3) completed a sweep of their home-and-home series against the Rochester Rattlers (0-6) with a 15-14 overtime victory at Robert Joyce Stadium on Saturday evening.
The Nationals, who swept the season series against the Rattlers, earned their second win over Rochester in as many nights. Hamilton posted a 19-16 victory over the Rattlers at Sahlen's Stadium on Friday night.
Midfielders David Earl and Jordan Hall scored back-to-back goals in the opening four minutes to give Hamilton an early 2-0 lead. After the teams traded goals, however, the Rattlers responded by scored three consecutive goals to take a 4-3 advantage with 4:41 left in the opening stanza.
Led by two goals from attackman Cody Jamieson, the Nationals put together a three-goal spurt of their own to regain the advantage at 6-4 just over a minute into the second quarter. The teams traded goals twice before Earl tallied his third goal of the game, an unassisted marker with 51 seconds remaining in the second quarter that gave Hamilton a 9-6 lead at the intermission.
The Nationals continued their run to open the third quarter, scoring five straight goals to take a commanding 14-6 lead with 5:11 left in the period. Midfielder Joe Walters had two goals with two assists during the spurt.
After allowing eight consecutive goals, the Rattlers put together an eight-point run of their own to tie the game at 14-14 with 53 seconds left in regulation. After midfielders Jeff Colburn and Jordan Levine ended the third quarter with back-to-back goals, Colburn opened the fourth quarter with an unassisted marker with just over 11 minutes left in regulation.
A pair of goals from rookie attackman Jordan McBride closed the gap to 14-11 before midfielder Matt Striebel fired home a two-point goal off a Levine assist, trimming the margin to 14-13.
With 53 seconds remaining, attackman Ned Crotty found Colburn, who scored his third goal of the game past goalkeeper Scott Rodgers, to tie the game and force the extra session.
But, the Nationals responded when Bucktooth took a pass from defenseman Brodie Merrill and scored his second goal of the game to secure the victory.
While Earl led the Nationals with four goals, Walters contributed two goals with a season-high six assists. Meanwhile, Rodgers was named as the Bud Light Player of the Game after making 17 saves, including three in the overtime period.
Colburn led Rochester with three goals and two assists while Crotty posted a goal with four assists. Midfielder Anthony Kelly won 19 of 31 face-offs and recorded 13 ground balls.
The Rattlers outshot Hamilton by a 50-38 margin and had a 36-29 advantage in ground balls.

|In response to Re: Gas line to be run thru 2" PVC DWV in slab for island cooktop
There are very stringent requirements for the gas line to an island range, and just slipping a piece of CSST flex through the PVC is not one of them. The first requirement is that it cannot be a propane gas line under any circumstances. The second is that the PVC has to have a gas tight seal to the gas pipe inside it at both ends. The third requirement is that the PVC have a fresh air vent to direct any potential leak to the outdoors where it can easily be detected. And forth, both the gas line and the PVC have to be individually tested for air tightness. The fifth requirement is that your city allow the underfloor gas pipe in a PVC sleeve. One city here does not allow it and requires a concrete trough in the floor with sand filling and a steel plate on top.
: Hello
: Have a 1999 build slab foundation home, island kitchen, currently with Elec cooktop. Has a empty 2" PVC pipe run from side of house through slab to the island for the purpose of installing a gas line.
: Wash room off kitchen has gas line.
: Current plan is to remove drywall in wash room and use dryer line (3/4" iron) and T off, keeping inbetween studs. drill brick, route through the outside of the house. Seal hole with foam. Use Iron gas pipe to get to the ground. Dig trench and lay iron pipe along it. Come up to PVC pipe with Iron, then as close as possible, switch to that Yellow plastic flex line. Shove that through the PVC to the island.
: Questions:
: Any tricks to doing the plastic flex line? Its hard to find, but I located a place that sells it and fittings. Although not a lic. plumber I've read a lot of books and replumbed an entire house gas line before, so I'm familiar with doing this stuff and testing for leaks, etc. Pretty straight forward.
: Do I need to use any covering on the gas line above/ below ground level? Other homes have a tape wrap above ground. This is in Houston, where weather is pretty mild as far as cold goes.
: If I T off for a gas grill and have the capped end underground (grill added later), would it make sense to use plastic/brass or the iron pipe?
: Thanks,

Upside Down Degree Program
Evergreen negotiates specific vocational and/or technical associate degree agreements with each Washington community and technical college. Find your college in the table on Transfer Degrees and Guides and select "Transfer Degree." The PDF will list approved degree programs. Some degrees are designated as Upside Down and other degrees are designated as Associate in Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T).
Transfer students with a two-year technical degree complete focused, skills-based work during their freshman and sophomore years. Evergreen freshman and sophomore students take broad, interdisciplinary programs. Therefore, a transfer student who has completed focused, skilled-based work is reversed or "upside down."
Admission Requirements for Upside Down or AAS-T Degree Holders
- The approved technical degree is earned at the community or technical college prior to enrolling at Evergreen.
- The approved technical degree includes a minimum of 25 transferable academic quarter hour credits.
- You have successfully completed college-level English composition (for example, English 101) with a "C" grade or better.
- Your cumulative grade point average is 2.5 or better.
All four requirements must be met. The name of the approved Upside Down program and/or the AAS-T designation must be on your final official transcript from the Washington community or technical college.
The Upside Down Program
Generally, technical and AAS-T degrees do not represent a variety of courses in the liberal arts and sciences—e.g., the arts, humanities, natural sciences and social sciences. In fact, your initial transfer credit award may not yield 90 quarter hour credits. After you have been admitted to Evergreen, if you want to have your prior college work re-evaluated to maximize your transfer credit award, you will need to:
- Work with an Academic Advisor to develop your educational plan prior to enrolling/registering.
- The first 32 credits you earn at Evergreen need to be in a broad, integrated studies program. Your Academic Advisor will assist you in selecting a program that will meet this requirement. You will be advised not to register for a program that is similar to your technical degree.
- After you have completed the 32 Evergreen credits, submit an written request to Admissions to review your transfer credit again.
- Successful completion of the Evergreen credit will ensure that your technical degree or AAS-T will transfer as a block of 90 credits.
Your offer of admission to Evergreen will include this agreement. The agreement is time sensitive and you must accept these conditions within 30 days from the date of the transfer credit award.
Applying for Admission
- Complete the online or paper application. The non-refundable application fee is $50 (US). You'll find additional information about the application process on the Apply for Admission page.
- Request official transcripts from every college/university you've attended and have them sent to Evergreen.
A Credentials Evaluator in Admissions will review your application and official transcripts. The Evaluator may determine that additional documents—such as an official high school transcript, pre-college test scores (SAT or ACT) or GED test scores—are needed. If these documents are requested, you should read Freshman Admission Requirements.
Please read "Transferring Without a Degree" on the Transfer Credit Policy Web page if your degree is not an approved Upside Down degree or approved AAS-T degree.

Why don't more people read these mangas?
Dattebayo. They're really sarcastic but they release quickly.
I'm quite fond of Saizen (LINK), they can be slow at times, but they're excellent for Shounen sport series as well as dabbling with the likes of Shugurui and so on.
I'll also second or third or whatever the votes for BSS, Eclipse and Rumbel, very good groups.
YE i loved Saizen for subbing Hungry Heart Wild Striker but i didnt check what other things they subbed lol.
also Dattebayo are seriously the most fKctarded assholes in the subbing business but meh they do good subs(im serious they are the most annoying subbers ive seen,they troll,they ban u for stupid reasons,they are so sarcastic which gets annoying sometimes).
my choices are: AEN for Soul Eater, INP for the newest eps of OP (K-F for the oldest ones) and Dattebayo for Bleach and Naruto
until now i'm happy with their releases and i will continue using them!

Aaron Maybin retires from the CFL
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 13 2014 4:01PM
Unless he joins a league at a lower level than the Canadian Football League, it appears the football career of former Buffalo Bills first-round pick Aaron Maybin is over. The Toronto Argonauts announced Tuesday afternoon that Maybin has retired from the CFL, just under seven months removed from him signing with the organization.
Maybin was the 11th pick of the 2009 NFL Draft, never living up to his top billing in his time at Buffalo. Through two seasons Maybin appeared in 27 games over two seasons with the Bills, making only one start, 36 total tackles and no sacks.
He saw all of his NFL success in 2011 with the New York Jets, bringing down the quarterback six different times during that campaign. The Jets released him after only one year, and he hooked on with Cincinnati in 2012 before ultimately being released ahead of the 2014 season.
The 6-foot-4, 237-pound Maybin retires from football at the age of 26. He is widely considered as one of the biggest busts in Bills' history.

"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies".
all the Rasmussen are the only polls that matter and all else are biased people owe a huge im sorry to Nate Silver and company, thats for sure.
Unless the president does a quick about face with his energy policy, you should also prepare for food, electric and gas prices to continue to go through the roof. Of course, I just heard this morning that the President's plan to reduce the deficit is to tax carbon emissions, so uhm, yeah.
I'm very fortunate that my firm does not manufacture or sell in the United States. Sadly, I think the next logical step is for my firm to not exist in the United States.
People don't understand that jobs and companies don't always relocate overseas for sheer profits, they do it for survival a lot of the time. Business will become too expensive to conduct in the US and there will be very few jobs and companies left, comparatively.

I honestly don't know how working class people are going to survive without going on government assistance. It is troubling.
Just dropped in for a few replies..
I thought the voters would be interested in someone who has business skills.
After the last 4 years, I thought the nation would be ready for a change.
The voters have made up their minds. Congrats on your victory. More gridlock to come.
I do not eat crow, but I will admit when my opinion is wrong.
IMHO, Romney was the better man and candidate. My side lost.
However, I can't say I'm surprised that he lost. The days of huge tax cuts for the rich are over. Reagan started it, and in the 25 years or so since then, the middle and working class have yet to get the "trickle down" that was promised. People are smart, and are finally starting to realize that it's never going to work. Corporations are too greedy to let it happen.
The Republican party needs a makeover, or it's going to die. They are completely out of touch on social issues, significantly fewer people believe their economic policies are going to work these days, and most people vehemently disagree with their foreign policy. Obama won Hispanics 70-30, which is the fastest growing demographic in the country. Obama won women something like 55-43, which is the largest voting block in the country. Obama won the young vote 69-29, which is eventually going to turn into the middle-aged vote, leading the way for more young liberals. It's a bad time to be a Republican...

Fairy Tail is starting to piss me off. Those stupid wins or draws here and there, next time they get owned so badly. I thought after natsus assault on sabertooths hotel those fuckers had a little respect and that cocky dragonslayer was scared but now they are really in a good mood as I can see. how about we actually see natsu owning or anyone else owning sabertooth???? Is that request really too much?
and that stupid "running gag" with aquarius having dates all the time wasn´t funny the first time and it still isn´t funny now! and why is lucy relying on her everytime? wasting her magic power like that.................................
If i don´t see a fist in a sabertooths face next chapter I´m gonna quit.
Oh and terrible chapter btw. only thing I´m wondering now, was her defeat within the five minutes or not?
But actually points do not matter at all, because that tournament will be interrupted after all right guys?

You have to be tiny to wear this dress. Because if you're anything over, say, a size 6, you'd just look pregnant. How I wish I could wear more dresses like this except I'd go with a different shoe. What happened to shoe imagination? Why are they all so unsatisfying?
Also, please, can we get a break from Judd Apatow?

Sign in for member information and resources.
To be a school nurse in New Jersey, you must be a registered nurse and complete a prescribed set of courses and specific fieldwork. School nurses are considered "teaching staff members," and have all the rights and benefits of any certified teacher working in a public school. Given this background and training, school nurses are uniquely qualified to deliver health services in a school setting and work to ensure that all students come to school healthy and ready to learn.
The New Jersey State Board of Education has proposed weakening the requirements for school nurse certification. Specifically, under their proposal, certified school nurses would no longer be required to serve in a practicum to gain the experience necessary to work as a school nurse
Under the department's proposed changes, a school nurse with an instructional endorsement (ability to teach health education) would only have to complete 21 credit hours, as opposed to 30. A non-instructional nurse would only have to complete 15, rather than 21 credit hours. The requirements for all school nurses to complete credit hours in human growth and development, fundamentals of substance abuse and dependency, intercultural relations would be eliminated. All school nurses would be required to complete 20 hours of professional development in these areas. Instructional nurses would no longer have a practicum.
School nurses typically work in isolation, on their own, without other health professionals with whom to problem-solve. They perform health services in a non-clinical setting and are expected to be a first responder without much of the equipment or manpower that is sometimes needed. This is best summed up by the words of New Jersey State School Nurses Association President Brenda Porter:
"The certified school nurse has to balance law, code and nursing practice all independently of other school nurses. None of this is learned in nursing school, but through experience and a well-rounded certification program."
School nurses are asking for your help to reach out to the New Jersey State Board of Education to express your concern about these changes.
Letters to State Board members can be sent to the State Board office at Riverview Plaza, PO Box 500, Trenton, NJ 08625. The members, their counties, and the office address are below.

So I had my heart set on breastfeeding when I was pregnant...took classes, did a ton of research, read a book about it etc. Didn't work out despite using More Milk capsules, seeing a lactation consultant, pumping etc. oh well tht's another post for another day...Long story short I am FF. Just wondering what formulas you mamas like? Right now we are on Enfamil Newborn. My sis in law gave me some Similac Advance that she didn't use on her LO, but I think that one gave my LO (little one) gas...it also seems to foam up a lot after you shake the bottle. The Enfamil does't seem to bubble up like that and my LO (little one) doesn't seem as fussy.
And for those who are using special formulas like soy or for sensitive tummies, how did you know tht is what your LO (little one) needed?
