PONTOTOC – Lafayette is rolling again.
The Commodores, No. 1 in the Daily Journal's Class 3A/4A rankings, won their third consecutive game with a 41-6 trouncing of Pontotoc on Friday night. The two-time defending state champs in Class 4A, Lafayette (5-1) have bounced back nicely since seeing its 34-game winning streak snapped by Oxford earlier this season.
The offense did its usual thing, racking up 400 yards, and the defense bounced back from a subpar outing the week before.
Lafayette limited Pontotoc (3-3) to 151 total yards and came up with four interceptions. The Warriors had just two plays of 10-plus yards through the first three quarters.
"We gave up 25 points last week to Shannon, which is uncommon," first-year LHS coach Eric Robertson said. "Our kids wanted to come out and play well, and they did."
The Commodores had a balanced run game, gaining 289 yards on the ground. D.K. Buford had 76 yards and two touchdowns, while quarterback Brandon Mack had 68 yards rushing and 111 passing.
Lafayette was up 14-0 early but gave Pontotoc chances.
Thanks to its defense, the Warriors started two possessions inside Lafayette's 30 in the second quarter, but came away with no points. That allowed the Commodores to build on their lead.
"They get off blocks better than any team you'll see," Pontotoc coach Ken Byars said of Lafayette's defense. "You have them blocked for a second, there's a gap, and all of a sudden they swarm in there. And they're great tacklers."
After a fourth-and-1 conversion, Buford took a pitch right, reversed field, and scored from 13 yards for a 21-0 lead with 1:42 left in the half.
"See, I believe they already knew what we were going to do before we done it, so I just had to make something out of nothing," Buford said.
It was his second TD of the half; the first was a 5-yarder for the first points of the game.
Pontotoc missed a field goal and committed three turnovers – all interceptions thrown by Marcus Reed – in the first half. The Warriors had only 42 yards of offense by halftime, while Lafayette had 208.
Reed's fourth pick was returned 100 yards by Mack for a touchdown and 35-0 lead.

Family: Soricidae, Shrews view all from this family
Description Solid gray above and below with short tail, the largest shrew in North America.
Dimensions 95-139mm, 17-32mm, 11-30g
Warning The shrews of the genus Blarina are unique among mammals in producing poison in their salivary glands. The saliva is not dangerous to humans, but a bite may swell and be painful for several days.
Similar Species Southern Short-tailed Shrew noticeably smaller. Least Shrew fur grayish brown or brownish.
Breeding Mating occurs from March through September, though most births occur early or late in that period. Gestation lasts 21-22 days, and after birth the 4-7 young nurse for up to 25 days. Two litters per season are typical. The young, born hairless and blind, weigh less than a gram and may become sexually mature in as soon as 2-3 months.
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Grasslands & prairies, Meadows & fields, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Swamps, marshes & bogs
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Eastern Canada, Western Canada
Discussion Its ability to consume almost anything it can catch allows the Northern Short-tailed Shrew to survive the cold winters of temperate regions. Other shrews spend more time above ground than does the Northern Short-tailed Shrew, which prefers to tunnel along below ground, through the leaf litter, or at the snow/ground interface. Bouts of frenzied activity, lasting approximately five minutes, are followed by longer periods of resting, with the total active time amounting to only 16% of a 24-hour day. The shrew constructs a nest up to 20 centimeters (8 inches) in diameter underground or underneath a log, and lines it with leaves or the fur of the Meadow Vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus).This nest is kept clean, with wastes deposited outside the nest in a latrine area. Other parts of the burrow system are used for food storage.

President Trump, his fossil fuel administration, and anti-conservationists in Congress are attacking America's public lands!
Donate today and help save America the beautiful. Your gift today could be what stands between our public lands and Big Oil's drills.
Black History Month is a time to remember and honor the many groups and individuals who contributed to the success and achievements of this country as well as to advancement for African Americans as a people.
The most anticipated outdoor recreation event of the year just finished in Salt Lake City, Utah, where hundreds of outdoor brands from small business outfitters to industry pioneers like Patagonia and Black Diamond Equipment gathered to witness the cutting-edge in outdoor gear.
In 1943, Congress dedicated George Washington Carver's boyhood home near Diamond, Missouri as a national monument to celebrate his influence on agriculture in the early 19th century,
The benefits of wilderness and other public lands for modern-day flora and fauna are well-known, but conservation of wild places helps preserve traces of bygone life too,
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) recently asked President Obama to protect Mojave Trails, Sand to Snow and the Castle Mountains as national monuments in the California Desert, using presidential powers under the Antiquities Act.
In 1969, landing on the moon was a truly paradigm-shifting achievement--a real "first" both for the American public and NASA.
For Valentine's Day, the Department of Interior has started a tradition of asking the public for something rather romantic - photos and videos of marriage proposals and weddings.
The measure failed to reach the 60-vote threshold required for inclusion thanks to a bipartisan effort, as both Republican and Democratic senators opposed it.
Hundreds of people showed up to a public meeting with federal officials in Salida, Colorado, to voice their support for protecting Browns Canyon, an area in southern Colorado well known for its whitewater rafting, fishing and outdoor recreation.
The Wilderness Society joins the Department of the Interior in thanking veterans past and present for sacrifices made in service of our country.
Trump is already checking off the oil and gas industry's wish list and now his anti-conservation partners in Congress are following in kind. Stand up to them!

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:59 PM GMT on October 02, 2009
Asia's terrible natural disasters of the past week will soon have new company--Typhoon Parma, a Category 4 storm with 135 mph winds and torrential rains, is poised to strike the northern portion of the Philippines' Luzon Island on Saturday. Also of concern is Category 4 Typhoon Melor, which may attain super typhoon status (150 mph winds) as it passes though the northern Marianas Islands near Saipan Island on Saturday. Melor is expected to recurve to the north, and may strike Japan late next week.
Typhoon Parma weakened some yesterday as its rain began spreading over the Philippines, thanks to 20 knots of hostile wind shear from strong upper-level winds. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center is rating Parma a Category 4 storm with 135 mph winds, but satellite intensity estimates from NOAA and the Japan Meteorological Agency put Parma at Category 2 strength. Regardless, Parma will be an extremely dangerous storm for the Philippines due the heavy rain it will bring. Microwave satellite estimates of Parma's rainfall (Figure 1) show that the typhoon is producing up to 1.3 inches per hours of rain. Given the slow movement of the storm, Parma is capable of bringing over twelve inches of rain to coastal Luzon Island over the next 24 hours. The situation worsens Saturday and Sunday, as steering currents are expected to collapse, and Parma may sit just offshore, dumping prodigious amounts of rain on soils already saturated by Typhoon Ketsana a week ago. The potential exists for portions of northern Luzon Island to receive over twenty inches of rain from Parma, which would likely destroy most of the transportation and communications infrastructure and create life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. Parma has the potential to become one of the ten most damaging typhoons in Philippines history.
Figure 1. Estimated rainfall rate for Typhoon Parma at 11:01 UTC on 10/02/09, as estimated by a microwave instrument on the polar-orbiting F-16 satellite. Image credit: Naval Research Lab, Monterey.
Figure 2. Forecast rain amounts for Typhoon Parma for the 24-hour period ending at 12 UTC October 3 (8am EDT Saturday). This forecast is based on satellite measurements of Parma's current rainfall rate, plus a projection of the storm's path. Over twelve inches of rain (red colors) is expected along a portion of the typhoon's path. A few tiny areas of 20+ inches (purple colors) also appear in the forecast. Image credit: NOAA Satellite Services Division.
Mobilizing for Parma and Melor
Philippines President Arroyo has already declared a nationwide "state of calamity" and ordered six provincial governments to evacuate residents from flood- and landslide-prone areas in the path of the Parma. Going against the flow of evacuees will be Typhoon chasers James Reynolds and Geoff Mackley, who plan to travel to northern Luzon today to intercept Typhoon Parma. You can follow their progress at typhoonfury.com and rambocam.com. In addition, storm chaser Jim Edds is on Saipan Island waiting for Typhoon Melor to arrive; you can track his experiences at www.extremestorms.com.
The Atlantic remains quiet
A non-tropical low pressure system gave the Azores Islands some wind gusts over 40 mph yesterday, and NHC labeled this system "Invest 90L". However, this system is not a threat to develop into a tropical depression, as water temperatures are a chilly 23°C in the region. None of the computer models are forecasting tropical storm formation over the next seven days.

Most of the series was shot in Hawaii... and humorously close to public beaches. (well all beaches are public in Hawaii technically). Literally tons of the show was shot there - except a few bits here and there. It's been a long while since I was nuts for Lost - man I loved that show.
That was a great series. My wife and I would spend hours speculating about the origins/meaning of the Smoke Monsters. Lost was a bit incoherent in from a big picture point of view, but I loved the character development, the way the pre-island stories would evolve into island stories, and the mystery of the island, the others, etc. I hope another series comes along that inspires the same sense of awe and immersion.

Pharma Report 2012: Get Back in Shape
Pharma Report 2012: Get Back in Shape
17 Gilead Sciences $5.5B up 17.0%

This specialty biopharma firm remains highly competitive, most notably in antivirals. The leader in the field, Gilead launched HIV/AIDS drug Complera last year and filed the "Quad pill" for approval (set for FDA review in August). Complera and Quad represent important advances, and analysts expect both to get approved and to snag the bulk of new patient starts in coming years, although Gilead's top seller, HIV/AIDS med Atripla, is not scheduled to lose exclusivity until 2021 and despite a generic version of Combivir. The firm also leaped ahead in the hotly contested race to market an all-oral/interferon-free hepatitis C therapy, buying biotech Pharmasset for $11 billion and access to that firm's Phase III pipeline asset GS-7977. The company also plays in the cardiovascular arena, where angina drug Ranexa is selling well, and the FDA's removal of a warning from the label of PAH product Letairis could mean higher sales of that drug. Despite a manufacturing shortage, the drug Cayston also plays an important role in treating pseudomonas aerugonisa in cystic fibrosis patients.

2. Again, why? Any bullet can kill if you want it to.
3. I don't care how hard you look, a law abiding citizen will be the only people succumbing to this background check.
We have enough laws on the books now to prevent gun violence. In fact, you may not know this, but murder is against the law. So use the existing laws to prosecute criminals, focus on criminals, and target criminals. So far all these laws target law abiding people and do nothing to stop criminals from committing crime.

There have been instances where people misused their positions in Scouting to abuse children, and in certain cases, our response to these incidents and our efforts to protect youth were plainly insufficient, inappropriate, or wrong. Where those involved in Scouting failed to protect, or worse, inflicted harm on children, we extend our deepest apologies to victims and their families.
While it is difficult to understand or explain individuals' actions from many decades ago, today Scouting is a leader among youth serving organizations in preventing child abuse. The BSA requires background checks, comprehensive training programs for volunteers, staff, youth and parents and mandates reporting of even suspected abuse. We have continuously enhanced our multi-tiered policies and procedures to ensure we are in line with and, where possible, ahead of society's knowledge of abuse and best practices for prevention. BSA's standards and relentless focus on youth protection have been recognized and praised by experts in child protection - including Victor Vieth, a former prosecutor who heads the National Child Protection Training Center.
Experts have found that the BSA's system of Ineligible Volunteer Files functions well to help protect Scouts by denying entry to dangerous individuals, and Scouting believes that they play an important role in our comprehensive youth protection system.

You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
I worked at Wally World, came home and rested, and watched the AFC Football game. My wife and I were going to go see a band play later that evening, but she changed her mind and decided we would go to a sports bar instead. We ate at Chesseburger in Paradise, and watched the first half of the Packers/Falcons game. We left at halftime, only to get a call from my sister-in-law, who was locked in her room, so we set of to rescue her. We got to the house thinking it would be a simple twist of the lock (located on the outside of the bedroom door) and she would be out, instead we ened up having to remove the door knob, and after that didn't work, we had to rele3ase the hinge pins. After setting my wifes sister free, we watched the rest of the game.

Finished all my have-to-do grading, and left some of the should-get-to papers for later. Got gas and some food at Costco, including lunch there (for the second consecutive time, they didn't have the swirl nonfat frozen yogurt, and I had to SETTLE for all chocolate ... the last time I was humbled to get all vanilla ). Read some on the couch. Wasted far too much time online.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Hung around the house doing domestic chores and watching too much TV as I'm on call until Monday morning. I have to be close to the TI-mobile in case I get called out, so I can't go anywhere.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Went to the Celtics/Wizards game with my younger brother. Sat courtside and loved it. Disappointed Shaq didn't make the trip but loved seeing Kevin Garnett and John Wall.
I had taken my mom to Julian CA for her birthday, so we took the scenic way back yesterday: ate breakfast at the same place we had lunch Friday and wandered around the small downtown street, saw another CA mission (San Antonio de Pala, after stopping at Santa Ysabel the day before), went to Palomar Observatory (not the season for tours, so just got to walk the grounds and enter the front viewing area of the telescope).
Once home, checked the mail and newspaper, brought in the trash cans from the street, put away clothes and travel stuff, did a little grading in front o' the TV. Went to bed tired but pleased, and not sure if I'm coming down with a cold or not.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I went to the BYU vs Utah basketball game to watch Jimmer the Magnificent...
He had a below-average game scoring only 23 points, but he did have a stretch where he scored 12 straight.
Did the usual domestic chores and a bit of yard work. Mrs. TI7 and I went to dinner (Italian) for an early Valentine's Day celebration (we like to beat the rush). Mama mía, it was a nice day!

Women's lacrosse team visits White House
Posted November 19, 2003; 10:02 a.m.
The Princeton women's lacrosse team celebrated its 2003 national championship by traveling to Washington, D.C., to meet with President Bush at the White House on Monday, Nov. 17.
"Princeton is the only team here this year who was here last year," Bush said, referring to the lacrosse team's consecutive NCAA titles. "I asked the team if they were going to be here next year as well, and one of them said, 'Are you?'"
The team's members also met with Republican Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee, a member of Princeton's class of 1974, and Democratic Sen. Paul Sarbanes of Maryland, a 1954 Princeton graduate and University trustee.
More details are available on the Princeton athletics Web site.

Window Treatments
Back in 2007, the residents of 110 Third tried this method (Curbed called it "One Ten Third World"):
Now the residents of the new 123 Third, right across the avenue from 110 Third (hard to tell them apart, I know), struggle with the same challenge.
One tries covering the windows with polka-dotted bedsheets:
Another opts for a really big piece of butcher paper. Sadly, the Scotch tape doesn't hold:
But this one wins for originality and diversity--a collection of canvases placed side by side, backs facing the street...
...paired with a bunch of different colored paper all taped together to fill in the gaps. The paper, some of it ripped from sketchbooks, has drawings on it. Are the little child-like houses reminders of home? At least artists are still moving to the East Village. Right?

I can't believe you posted this. One of my (many) plans for a blog post this week was to go around photographing all the covered up windows in the various new glass buildings. I noticed it first on the A Building on 13th Street - all the windows on the entire building covered with curtains. (Honestly I probably wouldn't have gotten around to it, being too damn hot to carry around a camera that makes my neck sweat.)
I've never been inside one of these glass monstrosities, but it appears that these windows take up an entire wall and even if the curtains are nice, inside it must look like a wall of curtains instead of a place to hang paintings or build book cases. It is confounding, just confounding that anybody would give up wall space for curtains.
- July 6, 2011 at 7:13 PM
As you have elegantly pointed out in your blog, isn't Patrick Bateman their role model? If so, who needs curtains, venetian blinds or shades. Why don't they be true to the Yunnie DBs template that they are? In the words of Max Bialystock: "That's it, baby, when you've got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!".

Jill, good point. wall space is so valuable! i'd be miserable in a fishtank, personally.
true about Bateman. of course, all we would see if we could see inside would be people sitting in front of big-screen TVs while texting on their little screens.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Chemistry
Do these cookies look delicious? Cooking and baking is one way that you may have experienced chemistry in your daily life. Baking powder and baking soda are both chemicals that undergo a reaction during the baking process to produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is responsible for the familiar "rising" of cookies and cakes. Of course, you know that it is very important to follow a recipe carefully in order to make the cookies turn out the way that you want. A chemist must also carefully follow specific procedures when he or she is attempting to synthesize new chemicals in the laboratory. While you read this book, you will learn about many different types of chemicals and chemical reactions. You will see how chemistry is a part of your life in many varied ways each and every day. This first chapter will introduce you to the basics of chemistry and the steps of the scientific method.

Removing salt after Ick treatment
I'd bought some Tetras from a chain pet store about a month ago; they were on sale for $1 each. Should have had a clue when the sales-gal said the fish had just come in....
Anyway, it turned out the were carrying the Ick parasite. I raised the temp to 86* and added 2 tablespoons for salt per gallon. All the fish were OK with the 14 day treatment, but the snail didn't like the salt.
I've got a 29 gallon tank with approx. 27 gallons of water in it. Since ending the treatment I've changed out 5 gallons of water per day for the last 5 days.
We're heading into town Friday and would like to purchase another snail. My question is, do y'all think I've diluted the salt enough for a snail to be happy or do I need to change more water first?
I think that is a definite yes you have changed out 25 gallons from a 27 gallon tank It is well and truly diluted.4ft mbuna mangaino and yellows
4ft rainbow tank
4ft planted community
16g nano planted shrimp and neon tetras
10g nano reef
I would have just done a large water change of 50% and a day later another.
But in the future if you get ick again, the recommended dosage for salt is 1 T per 5 gallons of water. 2 T. of salt per 1 gallon of water is nothing I have ever seen recommended.

From: AC Tropical Fish ( http://www.aquaticcommunity.com ) William Berg's Tropical Fish A Beginners Guide
Page 81:
"One of the effective ways to treat it is by adding salt to the water. The salt should be added gradually, slowly building up to 5-8 tsp per gallon / 4L."
3 teaspoon = 1 tablespoon
5 teaspoon = 1 2/3 tablespoon
8 teaspoon = 2 2/3 tablespoon
2 Tablespoons (6 teaspoons) per gallon is just above the lower limit of the recommended range.
Guess I'll do another, large, water change and hope for the best.
Assume 27 gallons
First water change: 21.6 gallons of original salty water remains
Second: 17.28 gallons
Third: 13.82 gallons
Fourth: 11.05 gallons
Fifth: ~8.84 gallons
If I did this correctly (anyone care to check?) there should still be 17.68 tablespoons of salt in the tank. Diluted over 27 gallons 0.655 tbsp per gallon in the current tank.
030 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,
15 g FW planted:2 male guppies, neons, pygmy corys, clown pleco, 4 types of shrimp, assassin snails

Since there's still a bit of salt left in there I'll do as fishmommie suggested. Already changed out ~10 gallons this evening, so long about Saturday I'll do a 50% change, followed by another on Monday.
A bit of thread veer: Will snails act as an Ick carrier? There aren't many choices of stores around here; it's possible the next snail may have been kept in a tank where it's present.

By NEMS Daily Journal Staff Report
North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo says the man charged with mailing letters with suspected ricin was fired from the facility more than a decade ago, The Associated Press reports.
NMMC issued a statement Thursday saying Paul Kevin Curtis began working there in 1998 and was terminated in 2000. It did not give a reason for his firing but says it was not because of allegations he made against the hospital.
Curtis has written in online postings that he uncovered a conspiracy to sell human body parts on the black market while working there.
However, the hospital says it works with an agency that specializes in harvesting organs and tissue from donors, and then immediately transports those organs for donation. The hospital says it does not receive payment for the donated organs.
Sen. Roger Wicker says he once hired the man accused of mailing suspicious letters as an Elvis impersonator, The Associated Press reports.
Wicker said Thursday in Washington that he had met Paul Kevin Curtis when he was working as Elvis at a party Wicker and his wife helped throw for an engaged couple.
Wicker called him "quite entertaining" but said: "My impression is that since that time he's had mental issues and perhaps is not as stable as he was back then."
Wicker's spokesman, Ryan Annison, said the party occurred about 10 years ago.
State Rep. Steve Holland tells Daily Journal's Robbie Ward that his mother Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland sniffed the envelope with the unknown substance, but she is OK.
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said a fourth suspicious envelope delivered to David Daniels, an attorney with a restraining order placed against the FBIs suspect, was not contaminated or related, Daily Journal's JB Clark reports.

NEMS Daily Journal
CORINTH – Several of Paul "Kevin" Curtis' neighbors were shocked Wednesday night when Curtis was captured as he tried to evade the FBI in their Redwood Drive cul de sac in Corinth.
Curtis was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of sending poison-laced letters to President Barack Obama and U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker.
Kayla and Matthew Latch live next door west of Curtis' 802 Redwood Drive, House 3, residence in the West Hills public housing subdivision known locally as Mini City.
"My room is at the end of the house right next to his house," Kayla Latch said Thursday morning. "I couldn't sleep in my room last night. Yesterday we were babysitting my three-year-old cousins and their 10-year-old brother, so I'm glad we weren't outside."
Kayla and Matthew's older brother, Tyler Latch, witnessed Curtis trying to run from law enforcement in his white SUV.
"He looked outside and saw him and called my mama and the rest of us," Matthew Latch said. "They blocked him in with two cars, then there were three more cars that came."
Across the cul de sac, Lacey Ross was returning to her 805 Redwood Drive, House 6, residence about 9 p.m. and was blocked from entering by the police until she showed identification that she lived there. She had met Curtis once, only briefly, but he "seemed nice."
"It freaked me out because when I met him I was with my 7-year-old daughter who has mild autism," Ross said. "He had this sweet little dog and we talked about that people said I should get a dog and it would be good for my little girl."
Ross said she was surprised when she saw Curtis living in the house because the day he moved in she only saw an elderly couple and thought they were probably his parents moving there. She hasn't seen them since then.
Matthew Latch said the dog was with Curtis in the SUV when he was captured, but the dog ran off in all the excitement. They've heard, though, that the animal shelter may have the dog now.
Ross had been to a family birthday party at here sister Heather Gilliland's home, and Gilliland was with her Thursday.
"I was just glad we had the party at my house, but my little 8-year-old girl is over here all the time with Lacey's two daughters," Gillialand said. "I moved out when they built the prison across the street, and I'm glad I did."

Deeplinks Blog posts about Locational Privacy
The historic decision handed down by D.C. federal judge Richard Leon last week that found the NSA's bulk collection of phone records likely violated the Fourth Amendment is a crucial first step towards protecting digital privacy from suspicionless government searches. But the importance of the decision extends beyond the NSA's surveillance programs. Judge Leon made two important findings on how the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches should apply at a time when technology can make invasive surveillance -- once considered the stuff of science fiction -- a part of every day life.
Yesterday, we published a blog post lauding an extremely important app privacy feature that was added in Android 4.3. That feature allows users to install apps while preventing the app from collecting sensitive data like the user's location or address book.
To date, there has been no way to run apps on Android with real and reliable privacy controls. Android version 4.3 and higher take a huge step in the right direction, letting users install apps while denying some of the apps' attempts to collect the user's data.
We've just seen some amazing reports from the Washington Post about just a few ways NSA is tracking people around the Internet and the physical world. These newly-revealed techniques hijacked personal information that was being transmitted for some commercial purpose, converting it into a tool for surveillance. One technique involved web cookies, while another involved mobile apps disclosing their location to location-based services.
Alarming information about just how frequently law enforcement officials across the country (not to mention the NSA) are trying to get cell phone data, including your location, seem to be published in the news media every day. With these privacy concerns in mind, last week we filed an amicus brief in the Connecticut Appellate Court in State v. Smith, urging it to find the state police violated the Fourth Amendment when it obtained cell tower records without a search warrant.

Giardiasis is a diarrheal illness caused by Giardia lamblia, a microscopic parasite that lives in people and animals. Infected people and animals pass Giardia cysts in their stool. These cysts can survive in the environment in water and food and on surfaces and objects.
Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, bloating, gas, fatigue, weight loss, and dehydration. Symptoms generally begin one to two weeks after being infected. In otherwise healthy persons, symptoms usually last two to six weeks, but occasionally last longer. Some infected people do not develop any symptoms. Persons at increased risk for giardiasis include children and staff in day care centers, international travelers, hikers, campers, swimmers, and others who drink or accidentally swallow water from contaminated sources. Persons who have unprotected anal sex are also at increased risk of contracting giardiasis.
Giardia may be found in soil, food, water, or on surfaces that have been contaminated with feces from infected people or animals. People become infected after accidentally swallowing Giardia cysts. For example, hikers, backpackers, and campers sometimes get giardiasis by drinking from lakes, streams, and ponds that have been contaminated by animals. Giardiasis can also be spread from person-to-person, such as in day care centers that care for children in diapers.
Giardiasis is usually diagnosed by using a microscope to identify Giardia cysts in a stool sample. Some people recover without treatment, but persistent infections may require antibiotics. There are several prescription drugs available to treat Giardia. People with severe diarrhea should drink plenty of fluids, especially young children and pregnant women who may be more susceptible to dehydration.
How can giardiasis be prevented?
People with diarrhea need to be excluded from group settings where they may present a risk to others such as daycare centers and schools. Some health departments may require food handlers and childcare workers who have giardiasis to test negative for Giardia before returning to work. People who are not in high-risk settings may return to their routine activities when they have recovered, however, they should carefully wash their hands after using the toilet.

Noted mountain climber to speak, Nov. 16
Posted November 11, 2005; 04:57 p.m.
Erik Weihenmayer, who overcame the loss of his sight early in life to become one of the foremost mountain climbers in the world, will speak at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
Weihenmayer became the first blind person to climb the world's highest mountain when he reached the summit of Mount Everest on May 25, 2001. He also has reached the peaks of the "Seven Summits," making him one of approximately 100 people who have climbed the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.
Born with retinoschesis, which gradually causes the retina to deteriorate, Weihenmayer had partial sight through his childhood before losing his vision completely at age 13. Now 37, he has spent the time since losing his sight compiling an extraordinary record of achievement.
He has been a successful wrestler, a wrestling coach and a teacher. He works for the American Foundation for the Blind on its national literacy campaign. He is also a marathon runner, skydiver, long-distance cyclist, rock climber, ice climber and skier.
Weihenmayer's speech is part of the Princeton Varsity Club Jake McCandless Speaker Series, named for the man who coached Princeton to the 1969 Ivy League football championship. Ed Weihenmayer, Erik's father, is a 1962 Princeton graduate. He was the captain of the 1961 Princeton football team and played freshman football for McCandless in 1958.

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
OXFORD – Nobel laureate William Faulkner reaches out from the grave to legally slap the hands of two giant corporations and a Pulitzer prize winning newspaper.
His lawyers say they used the iconic writer's words without his permission.
"These people should have known better," said Lee Caplin, a Los Angeles producer, who recently worked in Mississippi with actor-director James Franco on the film version of Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying."
Caplin, manager of the Faulkner estate and Faulkner Literary Rights LLC, brings the lawsuits through the Oxford law firm Mayo and Mallette.
FLR, a Virginia company established by Faulkner's daughter Jill Faulkner Summers, owns all rights, titles and interest in his name, image and likeness.
Two lawsuits on file this week in Mississippi federal courts ask for compensation and other damages against defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corp. and The Washington Post Co., in the Southern District, and against Sony Pictures Classics Inc. and up to 100 persons yet to be named, in the Northern District.
The defendants have yet to respond to the allegations.
FLR claims two different Faulkner quotes were used without permission and for the financial benefit of Northrop Gumman, in a full-page ad published in The Washington Post, and by Sony in its Woody Allen movie "Midnight in Paris."
The company asks for a jury trial in each.

Original post made by Jag Singh, Duveneck/St. Francis, on Sep 22, 2006
Once again the Bush administration is pressuring Congress to serve as a rubber stamp to continue the despicable practice of torturing detainees. The pro-torture, anti-democratic neocons are attempting to slither around the Geneva Conventions humanitarian protections for detainees and thereby legitimize the CIA's brutal interrogation tactics. Information extracted under torture is not only morally repugnant but worthless. A case in point was the rendition and torture of a Canadian citizen, Maher Arar. Mr. Arar was sent to Syria where completely false information was extracted under torture. Arar was completely vindicated by a Canadian Commission which issued a scathing report highly critical of both the US and Canadian governments. It is ironic that Syria, condemned for sponsoring terrorism, was selected as a target site for extracting information under torture! It is laudable that Senator McCain and his colleagues are attempting to reign in the attempts of the Bush administration to gut the Geneva Conventions. However, what is critically absent from the McCain-Graham-Warner amendment is the absence of the writ of habeas corpus which gives detainees the right to challenge their detention. Abolishing habeas corpus would mean that anyone could 'disappear' and not be able to seek justice and protection through the US courts. This would be death blow to democracy and may serve as a brutal instrument to stifle dissent. This must not be allowed to happen. Congress needs to stiffen its spine and restore its oversight duties on this runaway presidency.

You said, "Information extracted under torture is not only morally repugnant but worthless".
I am a liberal, and I object to torture, under most , but not all, circumstances. I have to say that your assertion is nonsence. Waterboarding has broken some key Al Queda leaders. Read reports by Brian Ross.

Time & Space
Today I made time and space to do a Soul Card reading for a client. I made time and space for a client who stopped by to pick up some herbs. I made time and space to meditate, exercise and enjoy the sweet-n-simple pleasures of Home.
I made time and space to pick up the rental car that will serve as my chariot for a mom-visit. Her birthday is Friday and the weather looks agreeable for travel to the great white north of NY state. So, kind reader, I will have limited internet access over the coming week ... so not much-if any at all-blogging ... but I will have lots to work on, including drawing-drawing-drawing, as well as lots of mom-love-n-care-n-stuff.

CAR: OCHA Operations Chief "extremely concerned" about deteriorating humanitarian situation
OCHA's Director of Operations, John Ging, said today (29 October) that he was "extremely concerned" about the situation in the Central African Republic, a situation that he described as "a tinderbox".
"Half the population of the Central African Republic is in need of humanitarian aid," said Mr. Ging. "There has been a complete breakdown of law and order and the first priority is protection and the restoration of security and stability. The atrocities against civilians are indescribable."
Mr. Ging was speaking at a press conference in New York, held on his return from a week-long mission to the CAR and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Mr. Ging travelled with the Emergency Directors of several UN agencies and International NGOs.
"The seeds of a profoundly dangerous development"
In CAR, the Emergency Directors travelled to the northern town of Bossangoa. There they met with Muslim and Christian communities that had taken shelter in fear of attacks. They visited a primary school where about 2,000 Muslims have been living since early September, before travelling to a Catholic mission that is now home to about 36,000 Christians.
"This is a new dimension to the crisis," said Mr. Ging. "We see incitement of religious communities against each other. This is sowing the seeds of a profoundly dangerous development."
He and his colleagues met with community and religious leaders, asking them to continue working together to calm the situation.
"Our message is that this country needs to come into the international spotlight," he said. "The scale of humanitarian suffering is among the worst in the world and it's getting worse."
DRC: signs of a crossroads
The Emergency Directors also spent three days in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where Mr. Ging said there were signs that the "unrelenting humanitarian" crisis was at a crossroads.
"It does stand at a crossroads of new opportunity," he said. "There are new opportunities and prospects.
"This was my fourth trip to DRC in two years, and the sense from our discussions was that there is a new commitment at all levels, and particularly from the local authorities, to do better."
But despite the severe needs, and despite this new and cautious sense of hope, Mr. Ging said that humanitarian efforts in DRC were being undermined by a lack of funding. To date, only 62 per cent of the US$892 million that aid agencies requested for 2013 have been received.

TUPELO – A new monument to Lee County serves double duty as a monument to the talents of four high school students.
On Thursday, the Oren Dunn City Museum unveiled an 8-feet-by-16-feet mural created as part of a Tupelo High School senior project.
Brigid McCool, Casey Marshall and Paige Knapp, all 18, and 17-year-old Feleysa Nguyen combined their time and talents to paint the mural, which is a replica of a mural at the Lee County Library.
Previously, the quartet had worked on a mural next to the Tupelo Farmer's Market on South Spring Street.
"The museum came to us to work on this one," Nguyen said.
The girls decided to make it their senior project. Work began in October and lasted until January.
Some sacrifice was involved, the artists said.
"I've lost fingernails because paint got on them, and all my jackets, and a couple of shorts," McCool said.
"It was winter, so you had to bundle up," Marshall said.
"Our fingers were bleeding," Knapp said, then added, "Just kidding."
The mural was painted on four panels in a workshop at Knapp's house. They used latex porch paint and expect it to last.
"I like the idea of bringing my children and grandchildren," Marshall said.
Portions of the mural celebrate the region's contributions during both world wars. The tornado of 1936 is depicted, as is the 1736 Battle of Ackia and General Nathan Bedford Forrest at Brice's Crossroads in 1864.
In addition, there are Tupelo gum trees and a mockingbird, among about 12 other slices of Lee County history.
It is a copy of the library's mural, but it wasn't intended to be an exact copy.
"We wanted to put our own …," Nguyen said.
"Spin on it," McCool finished.
"Yeah," Nguyen said.
Rae Mathis, the museum's operations manager, first suggested the idea for a mural, and Janice Anthony, museum director, chose to model it after the one at the library.
Jerry Duckett, facilities manager, was tasked with installing the four painted panels on a brick wall on the south side of the building.
"I think it brings a little pizzazz to the museum," Marshall said. "People who come out here will see a big pop of color."
Mayor Jack Reed Jr. attended Thursday's event and complimented the way the project combined history and art at the museum.
"I'm proud of you girls for your ability to do it," he said, "and your interest to do it."

Senior thesis production of 'God's Country' set
Posted December 9, 2009; 05:36 p.m.
A senior thesis production of Steven Dietz's "God's Country," based on the true story of the white supremacist group known as The Order, will be held at 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Dec. 11-13, and Tuesday through Thursday, Dec. 15-17, in the Matthews Acting Studio, 185 Nassau St.
Dietz, whose 30-plus plays have been produced regionally, off-Broadway and internationally, will participate in a question-and-answer session immediately following the opening performance Dec. 11. The production is sponsored by the Program in Theater of the Lewis Center for the Arts.
Directed by senior Dominique Salerno and featuring senior Paul Miller, "God's Country" is a harrowing look at the religious, political and cultural convictions that fueled The Order's violent crimes. The Order's members were held responsible for the 1984 murder of Denver-based Jewish radio talk show host Alan Berg.
Salerno is a religion major pursuing a certificate in theater and one of this year's winners of the Lewis Center's Alex Adam Award, which supports students in the creation of an original work of art. She first saw "God's Country" in high school and has been haunted by both its theatricality and its intense subject matter. The production inspired her to concentrate in religion and to do her junior independent work on the belief structures that inform radical racist movements.
Although Dietz's documentary drama is rooted in Order ceremonies and trial transcripts, Salerno suggested that its emotional impact emerges from his depiction of ordinary lives and relationships lived out in the context of extremist ideologies. As she explained, "Dietz forces his audience to participate in the moral tension he creates, leaving to them the question of whether these people are monsters or men."
Tickets are $8 for students and senior citizens, and $10 for general admission. They are available online through University Ticketing or by calling (609) 258-9220.

About Me
I am a fellowship-trained pediatric neurosurgeon who specializes in the surgical treatment of cancerous and noncancerous disorders affecting the brain and spine. With regard to cancer, I have clinical expertise in the use of minimally invasive "endoscopic" approaches to surgery for tumors at the base of the skull, such as those in or near the pituitary gland including pituitary tumors, craniopharyngiomas and tumors of the clivus. As part of a skull base team, I am able to remove these tumors through the nose. By avoiding incisions on the head, this approach does not leave external scars and is far less painful and traumatic for children.
I also specialize in patients with a type of brain tumor called low-grade astrocytoma. To the naked eye, these tumors look very much like normal brain tissue. I am able to use MRI in the operating room to distinguish between normal and tumor tissue, allowing for precise and maximal removal of tumor tissue. We also use advanced techniques to map the parts of the brain responsible for language and motor function before and during surgery so we can avoid these areas during an operation and safely remove these invasive tumors.
In my research, I am seeking to understand the events that transform benign tumors such as low-grade astrocytomas into malignant tumors. We have demonstrated that certain cells from the bone marrow travel to the brain and promote the development of the blood vessels that tumors need to grow and spread. My colleagues and I are seeking to develop a way to monitor certain cells in the blood to see if we can predict which tumors are most likely to become malignant, enabling us to provide treatment early to keep a tumor in a chronic, benign state. We are also examining the role these cells have in the metastatic spread or dissemination of other malignant tumors, including medulloblastoma.
We are performing molecular characterization of a type of tumor called brainstem glioma, which currently has no cure, with the hope of designing therapies targeted directly to the cause of this devastating childhood brain tumor. I started and am leading the Pediatric Brain Tumor Collaborative between Memorial Sloan Kettering and Weill Cornell Medical Center, where I also have an appointment. The mission of this effort is to drive the development and conduct of new clinical trials, using a multidisciplinary approach.
I truly draw inspiration from my young patients every day. I keep the goal of a happy productive childhood and continued physical, emotional, and intellectual development in mind with every treatment decision we make with our patients and their families.

|This is the continuation from Runner, and continues the story of the attempt to re-enable the star gates. It has the comicly incompetent Technosociety once again, as well as series of genetically engineered protagonists. I am bothered by why the star gate power supplies cause people to fall ill -- you'd think in a highly advanced society capable of building star gates they might have spent some time on shielding. Or did the shielding somehow fail on all the power sources sometime over the thousands of years of decay? The has a disappointing ending, but was a fun read until then. I find it hard to suspend disbelief about how the AIs present themselves, but apart from that the book was solid. This one is probably not as good as the first.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:12 PM GMT on June 26, 2010
The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season of 2010 is here. Tropical Storm Alex formed last might from an African tropical wave that plowed through the Caribbean this week. Alex's formation location is a typical one for June tropical storms, and the formation date of June 25 is also a fairly typical date for the first storm of the season to form (we average about one June named storm every two years in the Atlantic.) Heavy rainfall will ramp up through the day in Honduras, Belize, and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, as Alex continues to intensify, and flooding from these heavy rains will be the main concern from Alex today and Sunday. Satellite loops show that Alex's heavy thunderstorm are growing in intensity and areal coverage at a respectable pace. There is an upper-level high pressure system a few hundred miles west of Alex, and the clockwise flow air around this high is bringing upper-level winds out of the northwest of about 10 knots over the storm, contributing to the 10 knots of wind shear observed in this morning's wind shear analysis from the University of Wisconsin's CIMSS group. Sea Surface Temperatures are very warm, 29 - 30°C, and dry air is not a problem for Alex. We currently don't have a Hurricane Hunter aircraft in the storm, so we will have to wait until 2pm this afternoon to get an updated estimate of Alex's surface winds. The latest satellite estimates of Alex's winds at 8am EDT put the storm's strongest winds at 40 mph.
Figure 1. Satellite image of the tropics at 9am EDT Saturday 6/26/10. Image credit: GOES Science Project.
Forecast for Alex
As I discussed in last night's post, an examination of the nineteen tropical cyclones that have formed in the Western Caribbean and hit the Yucatan Peninsula over the past twenty years reveals that 8 went on to make a second Gulf Coast landfall in Mexico, 5 hit the U.S. Gulf Coast, and 6 died after hitting the Yucatan. The ones that died all took a more southerly path across the Yucatan, spending more time over land than Alex will. Alex is large enough and moving far enough north across the Yucatan that passage over the peninsula will not kill it. So, will Alex follow the path climatology says is more likely, and make a second landfall along the Mexican Gulf Coast?
Figure 2. Forecast swath of tropical storm force winds (34 - 63 knots, green colors) and hurricane force winds (yellow and orange colors) as predicted by this morning's 2am EDT run of the HWRF model. Image credit: Morris Bender, NOAA GFDL team.
The key question remains how Alex will react to the trough of low pressure expected to swing down over the Eastern U.S. on Monday. Some of yesterday's model runs predicted that this trough would be strong enough to pull Alex northwards through the oil slick region into the northern Gulf of Mexico coast. However, the models that were predicting this (the GFS, GFDL, and HWRF models) are all backing off on that prediction. It now appears likely that Alex will cross the Yucatan, emerge into the Gulf of Mexico, then slow down as the trough to its north weakens the steering currents in the Gulf of Mexico on Monday. By Tuesday, the influence of the trough will wane, high pressure will build in, and Alex will resume a west-northwest, or possibly a due west or west-southwest motion, towards the Texas/Mexico border region. Based on the current trends in the models, Alex's tropical storm force winds are likely to stay well south of the oil slick region (Figure 2.) I put the odds of Alex bringing tropical storm-force winds to the oil slick region at 10%. The most significant impact Alex will likely have on the oil slick region is to bring 2 - 4 foot swells that may wash oil over some of the containment booms. These swells will reach the oil slick region on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Continued intensification of Alex is likely today, up until landfall. It is a good thing the storm waited until last night to get organized; had it formed a day earlier, it could have easily been a hurricane in the Western Caribbean today. Once Alex emerges back into the Gulf of Mexico on Monday, it will likely take the storm at least 24 hours to get re-organized, particularly since the total ocean heat content is low for the 100-mile-wide stretch of water on the west side of the Yucatan Peninsula. Once Alex moves more than 100 miles from the Yucatan, total heat content of the ocean increases substantially, and Alex will have the opportunity to intensify significantly. Steering currents will be weak in the Gulf next week, and it appears that Alex will have time to intensify into a hurricane before making its second landfall along the South Texas/northern Mexico coast. Wind shear is expected to be light, and dry air not a significant impediment. Most of the models are calling for landfall on Wednesday, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this delayed until Thursday. I give Alex a 60% chance of becoming a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico next week.
Elsewhere in the tropics
A tropical wave (Invest 94L) is a few hundred miles northeast of the northernmost Lesser Antilles Islands. This wave is producing a modest amount of heavy thunderstorm activity, and is passing beneath a trough of low pressure that is generating 30 - 40 knots of wind shear, and is not a threat to develop today. However, by Monday, the storm will be in a region of much lower wind shear, and NHC is giving the storm a 10% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Monday morning. None of the models currently develop 94L, but Bermuda should keep and eye on this system, as it will pass very close to the island on Tuesday.
Extreme heat wave in Africa and Asia continues to set all-time high temperature records
A withering heat wave of unprecedented intensity and areal covered continues to smash all-time high temperatures Asia and Africa. As I reported earlier this week, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Chad, Niger, Pakistan, and Myanmar have all set new records for their hottest temperatures of all time over the past six weeks. The remarkable heat continued over Africa and Asia late this week. The Asian portion of Russia recorded its highest temperate in history yesterday, when the mercury hit 42.3°C (108.1°F) at Belogorsk, near the Amur River border with China. The previous record was 41.7°C (107.1°F) at nearby Aksha on July 21, 2004. (The record for European Russia is 43.8°C--110.8°F--set on August 6, 1940, at Alexandrov Gaj near the border with Kazakhstan.) Also, on Thursday, Sudan recorded its hottest temperature in its history when the mercury rose to 49.6°C (121.3°F) at Dongola. The previous record was 49.5°C (121.1°F) set in July 1987 in Aba Hamed.
We've now had eight countries in Asia and Africa, plus the Asian portion of Russia, that have beaten their all-time hottest temperature record during the past two months. This includes Asia's hottest temperature of all-time, the astonishing 53.5°C (128.3°F) mark set on May 26 in Pakistan. All of these records are unofficial, and will need to be certified by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). According to Chris Burt, author of Extreme Weather, the only year which can compare is 2003, when six countries (the UK, France, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein) all broke their all-time heat records during that year's notorious summer heat wave. Fortunately, the residents of the countries affected by this summer's heat wave in Asia and Africa are more adapted to extreme high temperatures, and we are not seeing the kind of death tolls experienced during the 2003 European heat wave (30,000 killed.) This week's heat wave in Africa and the Middle East is partially a consequence of the fact that Earth has now seen three straight months with its warmest temperatures on record, according to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center. It will be interesting to see if the demise of El Niño in May will keep June from becoming the globe's fourth straight warmest month on record.
Wind and ocean current forecast for the BP oil disaster
East to southeast winds of 5 - 15 knots will blow in the northern Gulf of Mexico today through Wednesday, according to the latest marine forecast from NOAA. The resulting weak ocean currents should push the oil to the west and northwest onto portions of the Louisiana and Alabama coasts, according to the latest trajectory forecasts from NOAA and the State of Louisiana. I would expect Mississippi to have its most serious threat of oil yet early next week as these winds continue. The long range outlook shows a continuation of east to southeast winds along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast.

Neptune's Great Dark Spot is clearly visible in this image of the small planet, taken in 1989 from Voyager 2. The Great Dark Spot was a rotating storm system similar in size to Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Winds near the spot were measured up to 1,500 miles an hour (2,400 kilometers an hour)—the strongest recorded on any planet. When the Hubble Space Telescope viewed Neptune in 1994, the storm system had vanished and another dark spot had cropped up in the planet's northern hemisphere.

Neptune's largest moon, Triton, hovers beneath the planet in this image taken by Voyager 2 in 1989. Triton is the only large moon in the solar system that has a retrograde orbit, meaning it circles its planet in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation.
Neptune Storms

Several storms are at work in Neptune's windy atmosphere in this Voyager 2 image taken in August 1989. The largest is the Great Red Spot. Beneath it is the bright white feature that Voyager scientists nicknamed "Scooter." Another storm, Dark Spot 2, roils at the bottom of this image. Each storm moved eastward at a different velocity.

The largest of Neptune's 13 moons, Triton is one of only three objects in the solar system known to have a nitrogen-dominated atmosphere. (The others are Earth and the Saturn moon Titan.) It's also one of the coldest objects in the solar system—its icy surface reflects so much of what little sunlight reaches it that its temperature is only about -400 degrees Fahrenheit (-240 degrees Celsius). It's so cold that most of its nitrogen condenses as frost, making it the only moon known to have a surface made mainly of nitrogen ice.
Neptune on Triton's Horizon

The bright blue marble of Neptune glows across the horizon of its scarred and pockmarked largest moon, Triton, in this composite image. The foreground is a computer-generated view of Triton's maria—large, flat areas—as they would appear from a point approximately 28 miles (45 kilometers) above the surface.
