What are nail infections?
Nails are at risk of fungal infections during the rainy season, especially if your baby sweats and continually scratches himself. Nails can become discoloured, brittle and rough. In severe cases, the nail can come away from the nail bed. You may also notice red, swollen and itchy skin around the nails.
How did your baby get a nail infection?
This fungal infection can result from overexposure to water, damage to the nail, or scratching sweaty or infected skin. Any moisture or debris trapped under the nails encourages the infection to grow. Ingrown nails may also be prone to infections.
What can you do about your baby's nail infection?
Its best to take your baby to a board certified dermatologist.
As a parent it is essential that you condition your kids with healthy dental maintenance habits.
Baby teeth play an important role in helping your child bite and chew food, and speak clearly.
A toddlers' dental care regime includes wiping your child's gums with an infant gum massager, clean damp gauze or a washcloth.
Once your child's teeth come in, brush them twice a day using a soft bristled toothbrush with water.
Research shows that children who develop cavities in their baby teeth are more likely to develop cavities as an adult, so be sure to get your child to a dentist for a checkup. It is important to keep your child's baby teeth clean, but once the permanent teeth start to come in you really need to make cleaning them a priority. These teeth will last your child a lifetime.
At some point, your child will want to brush his or her own teeth. It's fine to give him a turn. But afterwards, you should always brush your child's teeth a second time. Most children won't be able to brush their teeth well on their own until they are about 6-8 years old. Use fluoride toothpaste only when your child is old enough NOT to swallow it.
While what your child eats is important for healthy teeth, how often a child eats is just as important. Cavities can develop when sugar-containing foods are allowed to stay in the mouth for a long time. Bacteria that live on the teeth feast on these bits of food. They create acid, which eats away at tooth enamel. Between meals or snacks, saliva washes away the acid. If your child is always eating, there may not be time for this acid to get washed away.
1st Dental Visit
New parents often ask, "When should my child first see a dentist?"
Your child should see a dentist by his or her first birthday.
Losing Baby Teeth
On average children begin to lose their baby teeth when they are about 6 or 7 years old. It doesn't mean something is wrong with your child if they lose their teeth before or after this time.
Most children lose their teeth in the same order they came in.
For example, they lose their bottom center teeth first. When a child is about 6 years old their teeth will begin to come loose. Let your child wiggle the tooth until it falls out on its own. This will minimize the pain and bleeding associated with a lost tooth.
A word of caution -Remember!
Giving your child a bottle of sweetened liquid many times a day, or allowing your child to fall asleep with a bottle during naps, or at night, can be harmful to the child's teeth.
Sing along the Smile Essentials Healthy Teeth Rhyme with your Kids!
Dab on some toothpaste on my colourful brush,
There is no hurry and I should not rush,
Slowly and steadily my teeth get clean,
As I brush all over and in between,
This may take a while,
But is very important for a great SMILE!
Many of the same treatment and evaluation options that adults have are also available to kids.
These include x-rays, dental sealants, orthodontic treatment and more.

Can I give my 10 months old baby glucon-D (orange or lemon or plain) with water as he rebels plain water. He is very reluctant to drink water.

What You Need to Know About Clubfoot?
Clubfoot most often presents at birth.
Clubfoot is caused by a shortened Achilles tendon, which causes the foot to turn in and under.
Clubfoot is twice as common in boys.
Treatment is necessary to correct clubfoot and is usually done in two phases — casting and bracing.
Children with clubfoot should be able to take part in regular daily activities once the condition is treated.
What is clubfoot?
Clubfoot is a foot deformity classified into three different types: idiopathic (unknown cause), neurogenic (caused by condition of the nervous system) and syndromic (related to an underlying syndrome).
Idiopathic Clubfoot
Also known as talipes equinovarus, idiopathic clubfoot is the most common type of clubfoot and is present at birth. This congenital anomaly is seen in one out of every 1,000 babies, with half of the cases of club foot involving only one foot. There is currently no known cause of idiopathic clubfoot, but baby boys are twice as likely to have clubfoot compared to baby girls.
Neurogenic Clubfoot
Neurogenic clubfoot is caused by an underlying neurologic condition. For instance, a child born with spina bifida A clubfoot may also develop later in childhood due to cerebral palsy or a spinal cord compression.
Syndromic Clubfoot
Syndromic clubfoot is found along with a number of other clinical conditions, which relate to an underlying syndrome. Examples of syndromes where a clubfoot can occur include arthrogryposis, constriction band syndrome, tibial hemimelia and diastrophic dwarfism.
What are the signs and symptoms of clubfoot?
In a clubfoot, the Achilles tendon is too short, causing the foot to stay pointed — also known as "fixing the foot in equinus." The foot is also turned in and under. The bones of the foot and ankle are all present but are misaligned due to differences in the muscles and tendons acting on the foot.
What are the risk factors of clubfoot?
Clubfoot Diagnosis
Foot imbalance due to clubfoot may be noticed during a fetal screening ultrasound as early as 12 weeks gestation, but the diagnosis of clubfoot is confirmed by physical exam at birth.
Clubfoot Treatment
The treatment for clubfoot consists of two phases: Ponseti serial casting and bracing. Treatment is always necessary, because the condition does not get better with growth.
Ponseti Serial Casting
The Ponseti technique of serial casting is a treatment method that involves careful stretching and manipulation of the foot and holding with a cast. The first cast is applied one to two weeks after the baby is born. The cast is then changed in the office every seven to 10 days. With the fourth or fifth cast, a small in-office procedure is also needed to lengthen the Achilles tendon. This is done using a local numbing medicine and small blade. Afterward, the baby is placed into one last cast, which remains on for two to three weeks.
Bracing for Clubfoot
While the casting corrects the foot deformity, bracing maintains the correction. Without bracing, the clubfoot would redevelop. The day the last cast is removed, the baby is fit in a supramalleolar orthosis with a bar. These braces are worn 23 hours a day for two months, then 12 hours a day (naps plus nighttime) until kindergarten age.
Life after Treatment of Clubfoot
A well-corrected clubfoot looks no different than a normal foot. Sports, dance and normal daytime footwear are the expectations for a child born with a clubfoot. This condition will not hold a child back from normal activities.

Kentucky State Police is searching for an inmate who walked away from custody last Friday while he was taking classes at the former jail site on Mulberry Street.
Jailer Danny Allen said Robert W. Wilson, 23, of Elizabethtown, was lodged Oct. 1 at the jail on probation violations.
According to Allen, one of Wilson's original charges was second-degree rape.
Hardin Circuit Judge Ken Howard ordered Wilson to complete a substance abuse program and set a $5,000 cash bond, the jailer said.
According to Allen, Wilson repeatedly told jail deputies "he was not supposed to be there" and "his grandmother was going to post his bond."
Inmates in SAP take drug and alcohol education classes at the former jail, Allen said.
Wilson was in the trustee building behind Hardin County Annex when he became unruly, making repeated complaints about how he was not supposed to be in jail, Allen said.
The deputy at the site was working alone, he said, and, because of Wilson's behavior, decided to have him transported back to the detention center.
The deputy was in the process of signing Wilson out to transport him back to the detention center, he said.
However, when the deputy's back was turned, Wilson exited the trustee building and kicked open a gate entrance, Allen said, which is the only locked barrier at the site.
The jailer said he believes Wilson has contacted his family since his escape but has not been apprehended.
Wilson is a white male, 6-foot-3 and 158 pounds, according to the jail. Allen described Wilson as having a "slim build" and "strawberry-colored hair."
While Allen was on vacation last week, he said the jail staff notified him and area law enforcement agencies last Friday. However, until Thursday, he was unaware media were not notified of the escape.
Norman Chaffins, spokesman for KSP Post 4, said Thursday he had not received any information from the trooper investigating the case but intended to send out a release to media today.

It looks very much like my other WPDNs, has the same accessories,
ADB does work (as expected) and I searched everything for a copy of the original firmware, and there is none on the unit. This is different from the other WPDNs, which had a copy of their original firmware on their internal sdcard.
Tried the pc updater on the Pandigital web site, and it said no updates were available for this model. Browsing the updater found no models for firmware versions that appeared close. As we already knew, there is nothing on the mirror site either.
THANKS PANDIGITAL, ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE SCREWED YOUR CUSTOMERS leaving them no way to recover a messed up unit. Either they are just slow releasing it, or this is intentional to try to stop anyone from making modifications. It is a short-sided decision, as we have already seen the bricked units being returned when they probably could have just been reflashed to fix them. But for $67, what do you expect?
I put in busybox so I could get some additional linux commands going that I needed, and searched around a bit. While the firmware was not there, there was a flash log file there that indicated the firmware file name they used was:
Not sure what the C1 means but we knew about the SL_20_20120224 part from the settings panel. Looks like they may have flashed from an external sdcard initially then removed it?
There is a new fused section /cache which does have a zip file in it, but that zip only has the user apps and the initial user data in it, nothing really of value.
Bottom line seems to be that until we can find the firmware zip for this thing, we are probably on hold.
If someone wants to send me a bricked unit, I would be willing to try to manually fuse a recovery image into it which might get the unit back enough to put one of the 2011 firmwares in it until we can do better.
I did snatch the user & system apps out of it, the build.prop (nothing unusual there), and the framework - all with an eye towards a set of modular flashes for gapps etc like we had for the 2011 versions. I could proceed with this, but with no firmware available to flash back to if something goes wrong, I am reluctant to do this and would still consider any updates to these units on hold till further notice.
I am going to update the wiki a little bit with some info about this box and point it to this thread.

The University of St. Thomas was named among 22 U.S. Catholic colleges and universities recommended by the Cardinal Newman Society, and one of the top 28 Catholic colleges and universities worldwide. The 2014 edition of "The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College" features UST in its fourth time to be ranked by the Society for fidelity, excellence and the ability to help families navigate the college search and transition from high school to college.
Among the key points for UST's recognition in the Newman Guide are the University's strong Catholic identity influenced by the Basilian Fathers, the core curriculum focused on theology and philosophy, and Catholicism promoted through lecture series.
"The University of St. Thomas's inclusion in the 2014 Cardinal Newman Guide recognizes St. Thomas's sustained and energetic commitment to authentic Catholic education, which provides academically rigorous programs to prepare students for today's professional careers, and a formation in ethical leadership and social responsibility," Dr. Dominic Aquila, vice president of Academic Affairs, said.
The Guide is a unique resource for parents and students seeking a faithful Catholic education. It features university profiles and several essays to help families better understand the search for a strong Catholic college. It is the culmination of more than four years of research and interviews. The colleges profiled are recommended for strong Catholic identity and cover a wide range of institutions in terms of history, size, location and academic focus.
"The Cardinal Newman Guide's endorsement of The University of St. Thomas affirms the results of recent surveys, which show that families choose St. Thomas because its academic programs prepare students to succeed professionally and reach the full potential intellectually, spiritually, and ethically," Aquila said.
The Guide features profiles of the 28 recommended institutions, including information on academics, residence life, student activities and spiritual life. The profiles are updated after extensive campus visits and/or interviews with faculty, staff, administrators, students and alumni.
"The Cardinal Newman guide accents St. Thomas' Catholic and Basilian advantage, which ensures an education that integrates faith and reason, and a concern for all the aspects of students' well-being and authentic development as leaders of faith and character," Aquila said.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by mikhail1973, Apr 5, 2008.
Which is perfectly fine, but they have to remain within some reasonable frame.
Big goal by Holmstrom. 4-2 Wings.
This is a difference with these "new" Wings. The old Wings would've probably kept missing until Nashville would've tied the score. This team is good.
With one period you can't get it done. With two good and one bad periud it is possible.But preds had only one good period. Call it stamina or endurance, but as game progressed red wings got better and better. 4-2 is fair trade. This game already had this famuos "playoff fervor". First one was too sleepy.
Nashville's GM is already complaining about the officiating. Both teams got good and bad calls going their way, NHL's officiating hasn't been great, that's no news.
2 down, 14 to go!
Considering Preds gave up Forsberg and others, they should be lucky to be here.
They didn't really give up Forsberg, he retired. But they did trade away lots of their better players because of the uncertainty with the ownership. And I have to say, they did make the first two games competitive. My worry now is that they don't injure Wings players taking unnecessary runs when they are behind and are losing the series.
Calgary beat the snot out of us last year by playing dirty. I will be really pissed if that happens again this year. That said, I'm sure management is working the head of officials, just as the Nashville management is. The game within the game...
With the Dominator on our side, I think we've got a fair chance to get by anyone. I'm sure glad he signed for "peanuts" just because he wanted to play for the Wings. Playoff hockey is so much fun, but it just isn't the same out here. Not even close. :(
This team feels different then the last few years... Maybe its our coach learning how to coach in the big time.. (there is a ton more pressure here then he had in his other cup run). But yesterday when the hockey gods kicked that puck to the front of the net for the freebie and then the quick turnover and bad goal... you could just feel the here we go again... But we called the timeout, settled down got the goal to go back up and were steady from then on. I think that time out could go along ways to a serious cup challenge. After this game i don't have that feeling I've had for years waiting on the other shoe to drop and for us to just fall apart.
Yep, you gotta make your own luck. Only two or three teams can skate with the Wings but all of them can beat the snot out of us. Were's Primo and Probert when you need them.
They can't beat us physically, Wings had already proven that by taking out Calgary and big tough San Jose last year. There's McCarty, Franzen, Kronwall, Drake, there are tough physical guys on this team who can win the battles. Wings will be alright in that department.
If I remember correctly we barely won those. And Ana Ducks wore us out.
What a turn of events. Wings allow two goals within 9 seconds of each other late in the 3rd period to lose the lead and let Nashville back into the series. Nashville added an empty-net goal to make the score 5-3. Wings lead the series 2-1.
Pretty much sums it up for me as well.
Not sure about when to call a time out in hockey, but after that emotional goal that allows the preds to tie it, wouldn't it make since for Babcock to call a time out and get your troups and goalie together and regroup for those final four minutes .....instead letting it get away 9 seconds later!!
problem is there is no coach who can see damn future. Bab' was confident that his players were confident, but seems that he was wrong. Red wings tried to play a "safe game": keep lead, trap neutral zone but ( instead of their usual puck übercontrolling) it didnt work. No tragic, didn't expect to win all games but lose with final minutes going is disheartening.
Timeouts are rarely used except in the very end game. Babcock followed the same strategy 98 out of 100 coaches would do in a similar circumstance. This series is too close for comfort. The Wings needed to win this one, and put the series on ice, so they could rest. I don't like giving this one up so weakly to a Nashville team that is tough at home. That mistake by Stuart had me furious. I think he knew as soon as the puck hit the back of the net he screwed up. What a silly, stupid play to make.
Separate names with a comma.

Trouble Man is an all-too-apt title for T.I.'s eighth album. In the two years leading up to its release, the Atlanta rapper served an extended prison stay before eventually rebooting his image as a reality TV family man. Oddly and unfortunately, Trouble Man picks up exactly where he left off, as an artist divided between the expectations of the streets and the charts. He's still a tremendous writer when he chooses to be, running down intricate and affecting threads of language like "you numb to it and your heart grow colder/ pacify your pain with a chain and a Rover" in "Sorry," but the energy of his old self only comes in short bursts now. Worse, his song and hitmaking instincts have dried up considerably—the hooks here are mostly forgettable or forced, and the production frequently pantomimes triumph while failing to truly inspire.

Mrs. leigh hunt took a stronger line; she cordially disliked Byron from the first.
leigh hunt's criticism is signed: this is not, nor is it joined to the article.
The new journal with which leigh hunt was connected for thirteen years soon acquired a high reputation.
leigh hunt was a fine kind of man, he told Allingham in 1868.
leigh hunt, in his autobiography, writes, I will not dwell upon the moment.
We are here—as leigh hunt says—within the atmosphere of English royalty.
We will now, as far as our limits will permit, pass in review the writers to whom Mr. leigh hunt has introduced us.
leigh hunt praises his ignorant rustics, and condemns his old men.
In some respects Mr. leigh hunt is excellently qualified for the task which he has now undertaken.
But leigh hunt had been in prison for his political beliefs.

Hi,Here's the latest news on my primitive beekeeping from Malaysia. .....
The drawback in Malaysia is I can't but selected commercial bred queens to have good bees so I barve whatever turns up in my bait hives.
I started with Top Bar Hives but the size I followed from African top bar keepers are too big for asian Apis Cerana which I am dealing with here.
I am just trying to get them into movable frame hives so I can make splits, raise queens, see the hive activity etc that I can only read about from your postings.
Hi Beth & Finman,Here are more pictures from past postings.My senion log hive. The other 2 swarms are in similar size enlarged bait hives.
What is a durian? Well...simply put, Durian is a fruit: a big, green thorny fruit. But wait, it is not just another exotic and expensive fruit from South East Asia. In fact, it is considered "King of the Fruit" throughout the region. Personally, I think that is an understatement of the millenium since we Asian are humble people. In fact, the actual status of Durian is "THE GOD OF ALL FRUIT!". No kidding! Yeah, yeah, I know, some (unadventurous) people would rather die than to smell the STINK of a durian. Heck, a few countries even BAN the presence of durian in selected public spots due to its offensive smell (that, to me, is a hopeless rule just like outlawing fart, when we know that it is such a pleasure and EVERYBODY secretly doing it!). Look here, I can go on and on here but let hear it from non-biased sources okay. Click HERE to see what other people have to say about durian. http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~durian/

The U.S. Military Academy pressured a retired U.S. lieutenant general to withdraw from speaking at a West Point prayer breakfast after Muslims and atheists complained, Fox News & Commentary has learned.
Retired Lt. Gen. William Boykin was scheduled to deliver a speech at West Point on Feb. 8. But late Monday, the military academy released a statement saying he had decided to withdraw from speaking and would be replaced with another speaker.
However, a source close to the controversy told Fox News & Commentary that Boykin was pressured to withdraw.
"It was very clear they wanted General Boykin to withdraw," said the source who asked not to be identified. "He asked them to rescind the invitation, but they were reluctant to do that so he said he would take them off the hook."
Theresa Brinkerhoff, a spokesperson for West Point, told Fox News & Commentary that the U.S. Military Academy "did not decide this for him."
"After a conversation with our chaplain, Lt. Gen. Boykin decided to withdraw," Brinkerhoff wrote in an email.
Boykin, a former senior military intelligence officer, had been criticized for speeches he made at evangelical Christian churches where he said that American's enemy is Satan, that God had put President Bush in the White House and that a Muslim Somali warlord was an idol-worshipper.
He later issued a written statement apologizing and said he didn't mean to insult Islam.
However, Boykin became a target for atheists and Muslim groups. They launched a campaign to force the military to remove the retired lieutenant general from the West Point prayer event.
"Mr. Boykin's intolerant views do a disservice to our nation's longstanding traditions of religious freedom and pluralism and could potentially harm our country's interests and the security of our troops overseas," Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations, wrote in a letter to the superintendent of West Point. "By providing a platform associated with West Point, Mr. Boykin's hate-filled rhetoric would receive a level of credibility and legitimacy it does not deserve."
Awad called Boykin an Islamophobe.
"It gives Islamophobes a platform at the nation's most prestigious military academy," Awad told the Associated Press. "And I doubt that they would invite a KKK speaker and claim that they want to expose the students to a variety of opinions."
CAIR joined VoteVets.org and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation in protesting Boykin's speech.
Mikey Weinstein, the president of Military Religious Freedom Foundation heralded the military's move as a victory and called Boykin a "vile Islamophobe."
"We are deeply saddened that it took a public outcry of this magnitude to cause Boykin to pull out from this event, likely under pressure from within the Pentagon," Weinstein said in a press release. "Our outcry must not stop – all individuals within the command structure responsible for inviting this vile Islamophobe must be held accountable via courts martial."
Boykin told Fox News & Commentary that he was extremely disappointed in what has happened.
"I came under attack because there are liberal groups, Islamic groups and atheist groups that want to shut me down because I have been very open about my concerns about the encroachment of Sharia – or Islamic law," he said.
Boykin said he planned on delivering a speech about the importance of prayer in a leader's life.
"It was an ecumenical presentation," Boykin said. "It had nothing to do with Islam."
Boykin would not comment on reports that he was pressured to step aside, only to say that he considered the commandant of West Point to be a "good friend of mine – and a very good man."
Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, was outraged by the decision.
"This has gone too far," Perkins told Fox News & Commentary. "This is a troubling trend that we are seeing under this administration."
Under the Obama Administration both Perkins and Franklin Graham were disinvited from speaking at military prayer services.
"When you talk to military leaders on the base, they don't like this," Perkins said. "There seems to be pressure coming from within the administration to sweep Christianity off the face of military bases."
Boykin said he doesn't believe the Obama administration has stood with the traditional values of the nation and he said the incident at West Point should serve as a wakeup call to Christians.
"The message is that people of faith and conservative Americans are losing our voice to a very well-organized and very well-funded group of very passionate people – those being the atheists and the Muslims," Boykin said. "They want to change the nature of our culture – and they are succeeding."
Perkins pointed to the Obama administration's policies banning Christian prayers at National Cemetery in Houston and a ban on Bibles at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
"It's time Americans realized that while these orders may not have been signed by the president, this environment has been created by him and his policies," Perkins said.
Boykin accused the Obama administration of not standing with people of faith – "certainly not people of the Christian faith or Jewish faith."
"If there has been support in this administration for faith it has been more skewed towards the Islamic faith than anything else," Boykin said.
Perkins said the biggest and most troubling concern is how Boykin has been treated.
"The man they have disinvited is a true American hero who has spilled his own blood on foreign soil for this country," Perkins said. "He has done so much to defend the ideals and the freedom that American stands for. Yet his own freedoms – that he fought to protect for others – have been taken from him."

PWP wants its customers to make informed choices about the energy they buy. The Power Content Label is an annual report that shows from which sources your electricity was generated during the previous calendar year. For comparison, the Power Content Label also provides the most recent supply content breakdown for the statewide power mix (as reported by the California Energy Commission).
2015 Power Supply Content
For specific information about this electricity product, contact the PWP Answerline at (626) 744-6970. For general information about the Power Content Label, visit the California Energy Commission web site or call the CEC at 1 (800) 555-7794.
PWP Power Mix 2007-2014
Q. What is the Power Content Label? A. The Power Content Label is an annual report that shows the various sources used to supply your electricity. For comparison, the Power Content Label also provides the most recent supply content breakdown for the statewide power mix.
Q. What is the difference between "PWP Power Mix" and "PWP Green Power"?A. "PWP Green Power" is the energy provided to customers enrolled in the PWP Green Power program. The "PWP Power Mix" is the energy provided to all of PWP's customers and comes from a variety of sources.
Q. Why sign up for Green Power if renewable resources are already in the "PWP Power Mix"?A. As more customers sign up for Green Power, PWP will be able to increase investment in renewable sources and decrease the purchases from fossil fuel sources. Sign up for the Green Power Mix here.
Q. Why don't the numbers seem to add up? A. For simplicity in this report, we've rounded the percentages shown to whole numbers.
Q. Why is the Power Content Label no longer published quarterly? A. On October 11, 2009, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 162 which made changes to how electric utilities report their PCL, including changing the reporting requirements from quarterly to annually. Also, posting the PCL on the web (instead of a sending a print mailing) fulfills publishing requirements.

It's a real pleasure for me to be able to bring you some insights that emerged from the Forrester Leadership Board's Application Development & Delivery Council during 2010. My colleague Julia Spencer, an Advisor to the council, has written up these insights, which I have pasted in below, but we are inviting you to enter the discussion as well. Thanks, Julia, for bringing us this wisdom and for helping us get a peek inside this exclusive community of application delivery leaders:
From Julia Spencer:
During 2010, the Forrester Leadership Boards' (FLB) Application Development & Delivery Council (AD&D Council) tackled many issues, including that of defining and managing requirements for more-effective application delivery. As a Council Advisor, I receive many questions about requirements, such as "How do you define a quality requirement?" I'd like to share some best practices revealed during our Member Meetings in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Lisbon, Portugal, and our highly interactive CouncilTel (FLB group discussion) on software requirements.
I'd love your feedback: Which best practices have worked for you? What is missing from the list?
First: What are requirements, and why do they matter?
I have learned that the word "requirements" means different things to different people, and some struggle to define the word altogether.

text: Greetings, Not a Queen rearing topic, but pretty close.One of my hives became queen less and has started to lay only drones. I thought that there may be one laying worker so I put a queen excluder hoping to keep her bounded in the upper or lower hive body. No luck as after a week both bodies show signs of uncapped drone brood. Questions:1- do hives that lay only drones have one laying worker of more than one?2- is the worker the same size as a queen? Or can she slip through an excluder?3- what's my best course of action to prepare for the winter: do I place each hive body separately with a stronger queen-right hive, perhaps using the newspaper trick? Is this hive gone?. Thanks.Dr Z

USC Signs Banner Classes
Nov. 16, 2011
A class featuring some of the top swimmers and divers in the nation, including a World Championship gold medalist, American, national and state record holders, prep All-Americans and scholastic standouts, have signed national letters of intent with the Trojans, USC head swimming coach Dave Salo announced on Wednesday (Nov. 16).
The standout group joining the men's team includes Paul "Maclin" Davis and transfer Dakota Hodgson, both from Nashville, Tenn., Ted Singley from Southlake, Texas, Gottfried Eisenberger from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Jeff Swanston from Newmarket, Ontario, transfer Brock Redondo from Mission Viejo, Calif., and diver Spencer Madanay from Honolulu, Hawaii.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sylvia, Jan 8, 2013.
Castelli/Shnapir and Scimeca/Knierim should be able to easily qualify two Olympic spots.
Agreed. Barring some unforseen disaster (as mentioned above).
Even though it's not the most reliable resource, let's just look at what other pairs have scored so far this season at the larger ISU competitions.
From: http://www.isuresults.com/isujsstat/sb2012-13/sbtspto.htm
Here's the pair's ISU Judging System - Season Bests Total Scores 2012/2013
*I've grayed out those who are injured or not the in the highest 3 / 2 / 1 spot for their country, relative to how many spots each country has. Might have made a mistake in there in doing so - so just point it out and I'll correct.
More considerations:
*Who is Germany's second team that will compete? Van Cleave & Partner? Editted to add: Ioana mentioned below Hausch/Wende "(157 for a PB, as far as I could tell)".
*Japan also has two spots, but with the Takahashi/Tran split I assume they won't send any. Correct?
*Editted to add: As Sylvia points out below, Kemp/King (GBR) are not on the list but scheduled to skate at Europeans. Sylvia also mentioned, "Also, it's still unknown whether or not Sui/Han will return later this season."
Regardless, this gives us an idea that it realistically really, really, shouldn't be difficult for Castelli/Shnapir and Scimeca/Knierim to place accordingly to secure our two U.S. Olympic spots. (Barring some serious disaster).
Hausch/Wende (157 for a PB, as far as I could tell) are also in the mix for Germany and could go to Worlds depending on their Euros performance. I still agree the US should be able to keep 2 spots for next year. C/S and I hope they skate accordingly the rest of the season.
Correct, Japan has no other pair teams at the moment.
3 teams without SB scores this season that are scheduled to compete at Euros:
Maylin HAUSCH / Daniel WENDE GER - ETA that H/W withdrew from Euros today
Mari VARTMANN / Aaron VAN CLEAVE GER
Stacey KEMP / David KING GBR
Also, it's still unknown whether or not Sui/Han will return later this season.
To be fair, I believe museskater was referring to the fact that the top 3 pairs at 2012 US Nationals were not competing at this year's Nationals and wasn't aware of C/S and S/K's solid international results so far this season. I had assumed that D/C had already officially WD from Nationals (they weren't listed in the original Nationals practice groups document that was published online in late Dec./early Jan.), but their WD was and is being treated like new news (by the Associated Press, etc.).
I'm sad that Y/R had to withdraw from Nationals. But for C/S and D/S etc. if these other pairs don't step up and perform their best at Nationals they have no excuses, The opportunity is there to shine a year before the Olympics.
Have Caitlin and Rockne ever tried out? I'm sure its been discussed at some point here. Or is this Y/R pairing pretty solid/legit?
I think she might be too big for him at 5ft2 or 5ft3. Rockne's 5ft9, so while this could work, it will take some doing with the lifts.
There are actually a number of plausible scenarios in which the USA could qualify a single team for the Olympics but still earn two spots for for worlds. Remember that only the first sixteen slots are assigned to countries through the previous world championships.
Here's an example of a result that would leave the USA out of an Oly berth:
12. USA team 1
13. USA team 2
In this scenario, Russia, Germany, China, and Canada would each qualify 3 teams, with Italy and France each qualifying 2, for a total of 16, taking up all of the berths up for grabs at worlds. The USA could then qualify only one team through the Fall qualifying event. A slightly more plausible scenario would see an American team finish in 11th place ahead of Germany #2 (either H/W or V/VC). In that case, the USA would take only the 16th and last qualifying spot. Of course, it's all possible that Italy or France could wind up the odd country out, or that Canada or China might fail to qualify three teams, etc. But a top-12 finish won't actually guarantee team USA one spot at the Olys, let alone two.
That was an educational post - thanks, Jenifer! Maybe we should have a separate thread re. Pairs qualifying scenarios (by country) for the 2014 Olympics?
Have there been any updates on John? I know they're out of Nationals, but have they also rules out Worlds as well?
I don't think they have ruled out applying for a bye to Worlds.
And if they are healthy, it would be silly not to let them compete given their results.
Caitlin and Rockne used to train together (with different partners) in Colorado Springs. They are well aware of each other's size and capabilities. IMO Caitlin is much too big for Rockne. An ideal height difference would be 7-8" or more. Caitlin is close to 5'4" and Rockne is 5'9".
Using the ISU Communications for Torino and Vancouver and Wikipedia for the 1991, 1993, 1997, and 2001 WC results, there was never a situation where the total number of spots earned by countries earning 3 or 2 spots at the pre-Olympic Worlds was greater than the number of spots for the Olympics from pre-Olympic Worlds:
Pairs (16 spots):
2010: 14; 2006: 16*; 2002: 15; 1998: 15; 1994: 15; 1992: 12
*Next country down the list earned one spot.
Dance (19 spots):
2010: 14; 2006: 18; 2002: 18; 1998: 16; 1994: 17; 1992: 13
(Although it's mathematically possibly for there to be 27 28 qualifiers in singles if eleven countries had two skaters who, in combination, each earned two spots, and the gold and silver medalist were the lone entries for their country, it hasn't been close for the last six Olympics at least, as it has in Pairs and Dance, and I didn't look at details.)
Were the top US Pairs to under-perform, with neither beating P/Z or J/C (and P/T winning bronze), but were still to earn two, I suspect USFS, or any other country in the same position, would ask the ISU for an exception, since it would the first time earned spots would be split.
There are 10 young (ish) teams that are ready for the challenge this year at Nationals. I for one am excited for some new blood.
Anyone who has seen Caitlin this year should not be surprised by the withdrawal announcement.
I am certain Caydee and John will go to Worlds if he is able. (They have put in an official bye request)
What do you mean? I thought it was because of Josh's injury.
Offering my condolences here too, as well as over on the Pairs Thread. BUT, I actually think this is a blessing in disguise. It will give them more time to heal properly, *gell*, and perfect their programs for next season.
Really? Really?
Pulling out of all competitions this year (including 2 Grand Prixs) all the way back to skate Detroit because of an injury to Josh? You can question me all you want, this team will never see the light of day.
Given the (un)reliability of your previous posts, it's not worth questioning you.
I'm just asking what you mean. Your previous statement was rather vague so I was asking for clarification.
Clarification isn't that poster's strong suit. Peppering subtle hints and then dropping the microphone and walking off stage is what we usually get. Take it or leave it, I guess.
If you have information, share it. All these vague hints based on supposed insider knowledge are pointless otherwise.
While I have no idea what's happening with Y/R, it is hardly unprecedented for skaters to miss extended periods of time and even full seasons due to various injuries.
My assumption is the poster is referring to the fact that Caitlin never really looked in competitive shape, nor did the team ever really get off the ground as far as looking strong contenders for this season domestically or internationally. Whether or not it is due to injury, I don't know, but judging from what little they put out this year they were never going to be in the medal hunt and were most likely not ready to compete at Nationals this year. Missing this year leaves little hope for Sochi, so I would be suprised if this team stayed together after this season. Perhaps they withdrew to avoid a poor showing moreso than an injury. I guess I am just not suprised by this withdrawl considering they didn't finish a competition this season.
Thanks carriemarie. That makes sense. A straightforward answer.
Where did Yankowskas/Reagan show this year? I doubt Denney/Coughlin would have looked all that great in a small, mall rink with a tree in the middle of the rink.
It's what the ignore feature is for.... LOL!
That was my point. They haven't put anything out really (although they did a SP at Detroit this summer, right?), so I personally wasn't shocked they withdrew. It's not a slam on the partnership. In theory it sounded really good, but the lack of competitive results led me to believe there was little chance they were ever going to show up at Nationals. They never got their programs out there and if they have been off the ice for a considerable amount of time for whatever reason it just not realistic to debut at Nationals for a brand new team. Injury, lack of training, the inability to gel, whatever. This has been a disappointing year for them. Perhaps they will focus on next year, but with the way US Pairs go I have a feeling they will break up. Regardless, best of luck to them.
I understand why they wouldn't be ready given their lack of preparation due to his injury, but when did people see the two of them perform to conclude that she's not in good shape? The only thing I saw was a YouTube video clip in the mall shot from way above. She didn't look particularly out-of-shape to me, but it wasn't much to go on.

It needs the whale. It's a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Yes, I know what type of whale it is, but woot doesn't like that word.

The Islanders lost a tough game against the New York Rangers last night at Madison Square Garden. PA Parenteau and Matt Moulson scored the Islanders only two goals of the night in the 4-2 lost. Tonight the Islanders will get their chance to move past the loss when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Coliseum.
The Leafs are entering tonight's game fresh off a 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres last night. James Reimer stopped 40 shots in the win. David Steckel, Phil Kessel and Nazem Kadri all scored goals in the Leafs win. Prior to the win, the Leafs were on a three game losing streak.
The leafs enter the holiday matchup against Islanders without the services of Colby Armstrong and Philippe Dupuis, who were both placed on injured reserve this past week. Armstrong is out with a concussion and Dupuis is out with an upper body injury.
No word on who will start in net for the Maple Leafs.
The Islanders will start Evgeni Nabokov tonight. He is 2-8-0 through 10 games and posted a 2.69 goals against average and a .914 save percentage. The Islanders will also feature the same lineup they had during last night's game against the Rangers.
Last season the Islanders and Maple Leafs split the season. The Islanders won the first and last game; a 2-1 win on October 18, 2010 and a 4-3 win on March 8, 2011. The Maple Leafs won the two middle games; a 5-3 win on February 8, 2011 and a 2-1 win on February 22,2011.
Tonight will be the first time the Islanders and Maple Leafs will meet this season.
Pre-Game Reading:
- The Maple Leafs are hoping to turn around their odd record on the day of Friday. (Globe & Mail)
- The Islanders will face their former head coach, Scott Gordon, for the first time since he was dismissed on November 15, 2010. (Newsday)
- Don't hold you breath for the Winter Classic to come to New York until at least 2014. (Newsday)

The Islanders fell to the Dallas Stars 3-2 last night after the Stars came from behind off two unanswered goals in the third period. James Benn's wrist shot 4:33 into the third period would prove to be the game-winning goal.
The Islanders were outplayed for a majority of the loss and were outshot 29-27.
In his first NHL start of the season Kevin Poulin stopped 26 of 29 shots through 58:41 of ice time. He posted a .926 save percentage in the loss. Calvin de Haan, making his NHL debut, saw 13:01 of total ice time and finished the game with a plus-1 rating.
Loui Eriksson scored midway through the first period to give the Stars a 1-0 lead. Michael Grabner would tie the game at one at the 16:38 mark. Grabner was on the finishing end of a pass from Kyle Okposo.
The score would remain like that until Kyle Okposo gave the Islanders their first lead of the game with less than two minutes left in the second period. Okposo entered the Stars zone and shot the puck from the left hand face-off circle. His shot found its way through Stars goaltender Richard Bachman and Okposo followed through on the play and pushed the puck over the goal line.
The lead would be short lived. 1:07 into the third period Brendan Morrow tied the game on a power play goal scored 10 seconds into the man advantage. Three minutes later Benn scored the game winner.
The Isles will take on the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.no comments
It is Calvin de Haan who will join the Islanders for tonight's game. The de Haan call up was made official this morning. Last night reports indicated it would be either de Haan or Aaron Ness who would be called up in the wake of an injury to Steve Staios.
The injury to Staios is being called "an upper body injury" by the team, but reports indicate that he is suffering from concussion like symptoms.
Kevin Shultz of Islanders Point blank is reporting that Jack Capuano is leaning towards pairing de Haan with Dylan Reese due to the Sound Tigers familiarity. This will be de Haan's first NHL game in his young career.
Also called up was goaltender Kevin Poulin. The call up was in response to Rick Dipietro being placed on injured reserve retroactive to December 3. Poulin will make his season debut tonight when he starts against the Dallas Stars.no comments
The Islanders will have a fresh face on their roster when they take on the Dallas Stars tomorrow night. Newsday's Arthur Staple reported that either Aaron Ness or Calvin de Haan would be called up due to concussion like symptoms felt by Steve Staios.
Staios will miss tomorrow's game due to NHL concussion protocol and Staples says that the Islanders may need Ness or de Haan longer than just one game.
Through 22 games de Haan has two goals and six assists for eight points for the Sound Tigers. Ness has appeared in four more games than de Haan and has posted two goals and eight assists for 10 points. Both players are viewed as high-level defensive prospects for the Islanders.
Expect an announcement by tomorrow afternoon.no comments
Ryan Strome, the Islanders fifth overall pick in the 2011 NHL draft, made the final roster for the Canadian team that will compete in the 2012 World Junior Championships.
Ryan Strome and Team Canada Will open the tournament against Finland on Monday, December 26, at Rexall Place.
Strom has spent the 2011-12 season with the Niagara Ice Dogs of the OHL. There he has scored 16 goals and contributed 17 assists for 33 points in 24 games. Strome spent a week with the Islanders before he was returned to the Ice Dogs.
Islander fans got their first taste of how talented Strome is during the skills competition of the Blue and White game in July.
By Daniel Friedman
Last night's game in Montreal was one the New York Islanders will wish
to soon forget.
The Canadiens were able to grab the two points by defeating the Isles
5-3 at the Bell Centre. Don't let the (relatively) close score fool
you: This was a mismatch from the opening face-off, and though the
Isles would eventually wake up, it'd just be too little, too late.
New York got off to a solid start and even notched the first goal in
this contest, a Matt Moulson tally off a gorgeous feed from, who else,
P.A. Parenteau, giving the Islanders a 1-0 lead. It was, however,
short-lived. Just 1:25 later, Andrei Kostitsyn chipped and chased the
puck, beating the Isles' defense and then their goaltender, Al
Montoya, to tie the game at one apiece. Not long after their first
marker, the Habs would get a second. This time it was Mathieu Darche,
who's weak slap shot somehow sneaked through Montoya's pads and into
the back of the net, putting Montreal ahead 2-1.
There was no scoring in the middle frame, but plenty of it in the
third. P.K. Subban, David Desharnais and Erik Cole combined for a
dizzying tic-tac-toe powerplay goal, with the latter finishing off the
play. At that point, the Habs were up by two and appeared to be in
command of this hockey game.
Fortunately, that notion didn't sit too well with Josh Bailey and John
Tavares. Both forwards scored a little over six minutes apart, through
hard work and patience with the puck, and just like that, the
Islanders had knotted things up.
But it was the Habs who would get the last laugh, as ex-Islander
Petteri Nokelainen's slapper got past everyone, including the
goaltender, to regain the lead for Montreal. It was just the second
goal of the season for Nokelainen and a big one at that. The Isles
would get a few more quality scoring chances but could not convert.
Hal Gill sealed the deal with an empty-net goal, his first of the
Updated 11:50 a.m.: More details about what took place Sunday night that got Corey Trivino arrested are coming to light.
The Dailey Free Press is reporting that Trivino was released without bail following his arraignment, but had to surrender his Canadian passport and was ordered to stay away from the victim and BU housing. Should he need or want to use his Canadian passport he would need to pos $25,000 cash bail.
As for the new details about what occurred, the police report cites multiple drunken visits from Trivino.
(From The Daily Free Press)
According to the police report, the incident began when the RA heard residents of a room being extremely loud. The RA went to the room to tell them to quiet down, and Trivino followed her back to her room and pushed her door open, the report states. She said in the report that she told Trivino to go back to his room, but instead he allegedly started kissing and groping the victim. The victim told Trivino he was being inappropriate and should leave her room, and he left, according to the police report.
A few minutes later, Trivino allegedly returned and was banging on her door. The RA opened the door slightly and Trivino tried to kiss her, but she pushed him away, according to the police report. The RA said in the police report that she told Trivino "You need to stop," and "You need to go." Trivino allegedly cornered the victim by her desk and attempted to kiss her as she pushed him away, the police report said. She said in the police report that she managed to get him to leave at that time and she then texted a friend for help.
Trivino then returned a third time and banged loudly on the door, according to the report. The victim said in the report that she needed to open the door as part of her RA duties. Trivino allegedly forced his way in again and tried to kiss her, then sat on her bed, took his shoes off, said he would sleep there that night and laid down.
At that time, the RA called the Resident Director of the area, the police report said. When Trivino heard her on the phone with the Resident Director, he put his shoes on and ran out of her room, the police report said, and then the Resident Director told the RA to call the BU police.
According to the police report, "a very intoxicated male" got on the elevator with the police responding to the call. The male identified himself as Trivino and identified his room number as that of the RA, the police report said, at which time he was arrested.
Original report: BU Terriers forward and Islanders Prospect Corey Trivino was arrested Sunday night and charged with three counts of indecent assault and battery. He also faces two counts of breaking and entering in the nighttime and one count of assault with attempt to rape.
According to Art Jahnke of BU Today, Trivino, while intoxicated, pushed his way into the room of a female student and started making unsolicited advances towards her (kissing and Fondling). He left the room at the students insistence and she called Boston University police around 11 p.m. Trivino was later arrested.
Due to the incident Trivino has been kicked off the team by head coach Jack Parker. Prior to his dismissal from the team, he led the in points (17) and led Hockey East in goals (13). Parker had been expecting this to be Trivino's big year following three seasons of injury and disciplinary problems. And through 15 games it seemed as though he was on the right path. That was until this latest event.
"He is no longer associated with the BU hockey team," Parker told BU Today after the arrest. "This will be a big hole to fill. And there's an emotional hole also."
Trivino was arraigned on Monday in Brighton District court, where he pleaded not guilty to all charges. His family made the trip, via plane, to Boston to be at their son's arraignment. He will be allowed to attend classes until he is either suspended or expelled from school. His case will be brought in front of the University's judicial affairs.no comments

why requeen a good queen just because she's a year or two old ? Then eventually you're selecting for queens that are only viable for a season. I replace my queens when their pattern starts to fail or they have poor characteristics, not because they are old.
So what is the problem again with letting them decide to make their own queens??

Personally, I think it will come down to Tashawn.
And he better play more "inspired" then he has these last two games. Otherwise it will come down to garbage time.
Personally I think it will come down to the officiating. I expect 2 of our starters to have to sit early in the 1st quarter with 2 fouls. I also expect that we will get at least one technical and maybe even more, with one coming in the 4th quarter, especially if the game is close. In spite of that we can still beat them depending.....
Click on the link to read the Yahoo preview of our game against the Celtics tonight. The whole article is about the Celtics and how great they are and the author manages to squeeze in three sentences about us, two at the very end of the article. (How lovely nice of him/her). This is supposed to be a fair unbiased game preview not a praise the Celtics to heaven story, but that is what it is. Just another of the too many articles hyping the Celtics. NBA - Detroit Pistons/Boston Celtics Preview Wednesday December 19, 2007 - Yahoo! Sports
Well we won despite it coming down to TaShawn, but I guess holding Pierce to 11 points should count for something......All we had to do was hold one of their big three down and we took out their leading scorer in Pierce. Next time we need to contain Allen too, just so it won't be so close
Well guys, I did everything I could to make sure that we pulled it out. My keys to victory were:screaming "NO!!!" every time Sheed jacked up a 3-pointer (the anti-jinx that I have become accustomed to applying) and then acting like I did it for the anti-jinx after most of them went in so that everyone else in the room knew that I wasn't doubting Sheed for real. It's complicated.Waiving my hand at the refs like Sheed does after every bad call, then rewinding and watching in slow mo to prove to myself that we got ripped offMaking fun of Saunders for talking about how the team wasn't making shots and needs to make more shots every time they showed him in the huddle.Mainly though, just making sure that I was comfortable and emotionally ready for a loss.
I wonder if Saunders just gives everyone that line so that nobody really knows what is being talked about in the huddle and during the half-time break?
We had better give you the game ball, TaS. I KNEW it would come down to you!!! Way to pull out that win. You are Mr. Clutch.
Even after last night, if you want to read how great ?? the Celtics are you don't have to read ESPN or the Boston Globe, you can just read your local friendly Detroit Free Press, who was kind enough to link two articles from the Boston sports media on the FREEP basketball page. They did the same thing in the playoff series with the Cavs last year. In fact I am surprised that the FREEP even had an article by a Pistons columnist talking about the Pistons and not the Celtics. I think the sports editor of the FREEP has a few screws loose. Detroit Free Press - www.freep.com - Pistons
Here is more Celtics BS. This Buffalo chips is compliments of Adrian Wojnarowski. Revamped Celtics bring out best in Pistons - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
Actually that Wojnarowski article seems pretty fair to me. He's saying that the Celtics will get the hype during regular season no matter what the Pistons do, which certainly sounds like an accurate prediction. And having a top rival in the same conference can only be good for us, as demonstrated by the old familiar lockdown D in the 4th quarter that we so often lament not seeing anymore. The East kind of blew last year, with everyone handing the finals to us on a platter, and look how that turned out.
The fact that he attacks Dr. D. by saying that he doesn't have front runner DNA. What kind of BS is that? It is way condescending to say that "The Pistons, who have been in the ECF, have legitimate match ups with the Celtics", who have been in the toilet the last five years. It should be the other way around. You consider the statement "This promises to be the Celtics season" as fair an unbiased reporting, especially after we just beat them in Boston and have a better record against Eastern Conf teams than they do? "No one has ever wanted the Pistons on these things". Yea go ahead and knock the team that just beat your beloved Celtics by writing that garbage. "Boston always brought out the competition within him" As if being competitive was absent if he didn't play the Celtics. Tripe garbage. The whole article in my opinion is garbage. It seems to many that a lot of Pistons fans are so used to the Pistons being treated like garbage by the national media that they not only accept it as a Fait accompli or fact of life but have rationalized it to such a great extent that they actually think it is a good thing for the Pistons to be hated by the national media. To all of that I say baloney. It is never a good thing for people to slam you, with the possible exception of someone who cares about you and believe me the national media doesn't care about the Pistons, other than wanting them to go away. In my opinion
You know what I say? They can have all the hype, and Pistons will take the success.
Hollinger's rating system still has the ESPN Green on top, with us 2nd and the Lakers? third. Here is part of his comment about us. ESPN - 2007-2008 Hollinger Power Rankings
Exactly. I could care less about what other people, or these so called "experts" have to say about us. I care about what happens on the court. Like Tay said earlier, if anything, this should HELP the team. I wish it wasn't the case, but for whatever reason, this team needs to feel disrespected to give 100%. So as far as I'm concerned, keep the disrespect coming! Besides, I don't pay much attention to anyone that has the Lakers ranked THIRD???
any rating system that has our rating go down by more then the team above us in a week where we go undefeated and beat the team ahead of us is flawed beyond any means..... fine rate us below boston but you need to scrap the system and redo it because from the top down its a flawed system.
No problem with the Pistons being second...both the Pistons and the celtics know who the better team is . However why are the Lakers ranked so high? They couldn't beat the sad sack 24th rank Cavs?? I would move them back to at least 6th or so. I am not sure who the Trailblazers got their 10 straight wins against but I would probably rank them at least 8th?? The Jazz need to be dropped to at least 13th...
When the Celtics play 4 or more games west of the Mississippi then I re-evaluate them. Right now I rank them 2nd in the East and about 5th or 6th overall.
You got the Lakers ranked above the Celtics don't you.......tell tha truth

Beekeeping is like socialism.We give them a free crappy house, free crappy healthcare, free crappy food, we work them to death, steal/rob their gold, hand select their leaders, take from strong hives and give to the weaker ones, try to persuade them life is good and not to leave, capture the ones that do leave and justify it by claiming we are taking care of them. They should be grateful....we could just spray them with Raid.It's fun!
Ironically the segment of the population that fears "socialism" most is the same segment that is predominately employed by one of the most expensive socialist establishments in the world. The US Military.
QuoteThis guy's rant is EXACTLY why we need to abolish tax exempt status for all religious institutions.that would have done obama out of a lot of politicking. :evil:historically, pubs and churches were the two main places where politics were hashed out. it was not until the 70's or so that churches began to ignore politics because they became afraid of the bogus separation issue. in a free country, you can't really separate religious views and political position. part of politics is the moral stand taken on issues. that's one of the reasons that communist countries seek to destroy or co-opt organized religion as soon as they come into power. it the reason people like Bonhoffer ended up in jail and then killed. He and his kind are the reason we don't want to separate our beliefs from our politics.
This guy's rant is EXACTLY why we need to abolish tax exempt status for all religious institutions.
It is unarguably the most powerful organization in the world, the most expensive
Service/ROTC should be a requirement for anybody receiving Pell grant and other federal financial aid for college. Or re-start the CCC and offer young people service in that as an alternative.
Is the same group who predominantly makes up our men and women of the military. They are the group that selects all that for them selves
since universal healthcare, housing, and welfare are given to people who do not perform or produce (other than babies), it's still hard for me to see the comparison.


text: No, it's not Amare, it's Nash. I bet Nash could turn even JMax into a 15+ ppg player. It's not hate about Stuckey; it's hate about that "he's a PG"- thing. He ain't. He could be a pretty decent 2 that drives to the lane with reckless abandon and dishes at times. But he's not a floor genereal. Too bad this team already has 2 very good SG's and basically needs only one very good SG. So the problem would only be solved if 2 SG's would be turned into one decent PG and one decent which is very unlikely at this point.

The Truth About Mutual Funds
Truth About Mutual Funds
Related Links
Discussion Boards
The good, the bad and the ugly
We're not mind readers, but our guess is that you clicked here looking for answers to two main questions:
Q: Are mutual funds a good investment? And,
Q: Which ones should I pick?
Without mincing words, here are our answers:
A: Some are. And, A: The ones that consistently outperform all the others.
We're not trying to be cheeky. (OK, you caught us, we are.) It's just that the world of mutual fund performance is more complex than any 14-syllable answer that we could offer. There are thousands of mutual funds from which to choose. And there's no shortage of bold-faced statements touting them. Advertisements in newspapers flaunt a fund's "five-star" status. Banner ads brag about "the NUMBER ONE FUND in America" while commercials hype "top returns over the last six months."
It seems there are thousands of funds out there that have done really, really well. Just choose one, already!
What? You want more than seven words in bold type on a blinking banner to make sure you're making the right investment?
Good for you. The sad fact is that the vast majority of mutual funds underperform the average return of the stock market. Some simply pick bad stocks. Others pick stocks fairly well, but not well enough to compensate for the costs of the fund. Remember, fund shareholders have to reduce their returns by whatever costs are imposed by their funds.
In addition to fees, there are four other pitfalls mutual fund investors have to watch out for:
- Dubious management. Given how many funds there are, not everyone can be above average. Many mutual fund managers have proven no better at picking stocks than the average nonprofessional, but charge fees as though they are.
- No control. Unlike picking your own individual stocks, a mutual fund puts you in the passenger seat of somebody else's car.
- Dilution. When mutual funds own too many holdings, even insanely great performance by their best ideas gets watered down when you look at their overall performance.
- Buried costs. Many mutual funds specialize in burying their costs and in hiring salespeople who do not make those costs clear to their clients.
Ready for some good news? Thought so. We promise there's some on the next page.
