Labor pain on your mind? Understanding pain relief options can give you more control over the labor and delivery process.
Labor is a natural — although challenging — process. No two women have the same degree of labor pain, and no two labors are exactly alike. Ultimately, you need to choose the pain relief option that's right for you.
The best approach to labor pain relief depends on your preferences and on how your labor progresses. Sometimes, you won't know what kind of pain relief you want until you're in labor. Still, it's a good idea to think about your options for managing labor pain ahead of time. Find out what's available at your hospital or birthing center, and discuss your preferences with your health care provider.
There are many ways to ease and control labor pain. Relaxation exercises, breathing techniques and frequent changes of position often help — particularly in the early stages of labor. Your partner or labor coach can massage or firmly press on your lower back, or apply ice packs or heat to your lower back. Other options include playing music and taking a shower or bath.
As labor progresses — and contractions become stronger and more frequent — many women choose medication. Epidural and spinal blocks, for instance, temporarily block pain in the lower body. An epidural can be used continuously throughout labor, while a spinal block is typically used shortly before delivery. Alternatively, narcotics or other medications can be used to alter pain perception.
Nontraditional options for managing labor pain might include hypnosis, acupuncture, water immersion or reflexology. These techniques won't stop the pain of contractions, but they might help you feel more relaxed and better able to handle labor pain.
Each pain management option has pros and cons. Relaxation and breathing techniques can distract you and help you feel a better sense of control, but they might not dull the pain. Medication can make contractions less painful, but you might experience side effects — such as nausea or itchiness.
With some medications, you might be restricted to bed or to a specific position, and your bladder might need to be emptied by a catheter. Some medications can affect your baby, too. If you're given systemic analgesics shortly before delivery, for instance, your newborn could experience temporary breathing problems.
Labor and delivery are unpredictable. Labor pain might be more intense than you expected, or it might hurt in a different way. Even if you have a plan for managing labor pain, you might change it as labor progresses — or your labor might prompt your health care provider to suggest a pain relief option that wasn't in your original plan.
Keep in mind that birth isn't a test of endurance. You won't have failed if you ask for pain relief. One thing is certain: The more you learn about options for managing labor pain, the more prepared you'll be to handle labor — however it unfolds.
So what's the bottom line on managing labor pain? Think about what appeals to you, and ask your health care provider these questions:
Talk to your labor partner about your plan for pain relief before you go into labor. Review your plan with your health care team when you arrive at the hospital or birthing center to give birth. Remember, you're free to request pain relief at any point during labor and delivery. It's rarely too late for help. Trust your health care team to provide you with information about your options as your labor progresses — and trust yourself to make your own choices when it comes to pain management.

Francis Coquelin says a victory at Sunderland would help add to the head of steam Arsenal are building ahead of Wednesday's clash against AC Milan.
The Gunners face a challenging week, with the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against the Italian giants sandwiched between two trips to the Stadium of Light.
The North London derby against Tottenham follows, but Coquelin is confident that Arsène Wenger's side are hitting form right when it matters most.
"We just need to win [these big games]. We showed great character against Blackburn and we should have won against Bolton as we had the chances," he told a Chinese fans' webchat.
"We have Sunderland at the weekend, so we need to go on a run and win that game so we take a lot of confidence for the trip to Milan.
"We have a great team, it is getting better and better and we can get some good results over the next few weeks."

So You Get A Flat Tire...What Now?
Nobody ever looks forward to a flat tire, and nobody ever says "well, that was a really good time" after having one. You can at least minimize the damage to your tire and danger to yourself, though.
Flats vs Blowouts
If you get a blowout, you'll know about it right away. Sometimes the tire can fail dramatically, with a bang as loud as a shotgun going off. Other times, it might just be a loss of air and a sudden change in your car's handling, followed by vibration, noise and a pull to one side. If it's a front tire that fails, your car might be a real handful to drive until you can get to a stop.
In either case, your first job is to pull off the road as quickly (but safely!) as you can. Don't jam on the brakes or make any sudden mo ...[more]

Idaho Continues Reputation as Survival-Ready State
In case of an emergency, simply find someone from Idaho. At least that seems to be the most common sense approach to avoiding the perils of disaster.
Idaho has become a state imbued with the reputation of being friendly to those who are expecting the worst, and preparing for it. It could be the rugged mountain-man image that comes with the territory. It could also be the reputation it has built from attracting anti-government survivalists.
James Rawles, who writers for survivalblog.com, has ranked Idaho as the best end of the world as we know it getaways of all the fifty states.
It is Idaho's practical qualities that make it an emergency-prepped paradise for businesses that stock such items. The lack of natural disaster and crime, the abundance of remote areas, and the fact one does not have to concern one's self with riots in the streets all lend to the allure. The low cost of living and doing business doesn't hurt the image either.
Emergency preparedness is not something new, as the state has its traditions with the Mormon religion as well as standard-bearers such as the Boy Scouts and government agents spur people to remain prepared. Still, there is a growing subculture that appears read for a destined fall from grace that the world may run into soon. The so-called preppers, are growing, and the survivalist market grows with them.
With each disaster that shows up on the screen, more and more individuals seem to be rushing to the shelves to prepare for the worst. Each time a disaster is noted, there is a subsequent rush for business in Boise, or the freeze-dried foods for a business in Twin Falls spikes. Every time a gun-rights debate emerges due to a disaster, another surge in gun purchases is sure to follow.
It does not stop there, as each time stock prices fall, companies see spikes in silver and gold purchases.
Idaho was event recently thrown into the spotlight by a group titled The Citadel. The group created a system for a walled-off community of families for emergency scenarios.
"We really don't appeal to those who are preparing for the apocalypse. Our products are there in case you lose your job and can't buy groceries," or for backpacking trips or emergencies like a car breaking down in the middle of nowhere, he said. "We don't sell underground bunkers."
Good or bad, the reputation of Idaho appears to be setting itself rather foundationally. For businesses who supply such goods, the news of such notoriety can only be seen as good.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Don't worry bout the stock rods on a street motor! Just have them checked for cracks, replace the rod bolts and resize the big ends. Back in the sixties and seventies I built and raced many big block Chevy engines and quite a few of them were 3/8" rod engines. These engines were in serious drag cars, including an econodragster and an old gas/altered they had no problems.
Need a little help deciding
I am building a 427 BBC for a 69 Camaro. This car is going to be a street car driven often but I don't want just anyone to beat me. Here is what I have so far. 100cc Closed chamber oval port heads, ported and polished. Roller cam, (forget the lift but it is street/strip, not mild) roller, rockers. Dual plane intake, Holley 750. Now here is the dilemma. The bottom end. For 427, pistons are limited. I can get a forged TRW at about 10.1 -1 with my heads - and I have to use the factory connecting rods. OR I can get some KB Hypertetic(sp?) at about 9.5-9.8 to 1. With these pistons, I could use an H-Beam floating rod. My buds all say, not enough difference to worry about. But considering, most likely will not spray, and want to drive it often, I'm just not certain if the H-Beam rod advantage outwieghs the 10.1-1 compr ratio. THOUGHTS???? Greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!

England 2-0 Switzerland
World Cup Play-Off (1st leg)
Sunday, 12 September, 2010
Goals: Williams 44, Smith 45
England put themselves in a favourable position to qualify for next year's FIFA Women's World Cup by beating Switzerland 2-0 in the first leg of Sunday evening's play-off.
In added time at the end of the first-half, Kelly Smith became her country's all-time leading goalscorer with her 41st strike of a thoroughly impressive career. Smith curled home the second goal of the game, just two minutes after Fara Williams had put the hosts ahead with a confidently struck left-foot shot.
These two goals rewarded England's first-half play, and overall control of the game, and it gives them a comfortable cushion to take to Wohlen for Thursday's return leg.
However, it could have been a completely different story had Ramona Bachmann converted an all-important away goal for the visitors early on. She was played in by her strike partner Lara Dickenmann on nine minutes and proceeded to run at the heart of the England backline before unleashing a 20-yard shot which flew over the frame of the goal.
England responded and just a minute later the two wide players, Rachel Yankey and Eniola Aluko, both came within the width of the crossbar of giving Hope Powell's the lead. First, the Arsenal winger drilled an angled left-foot shot goalwards and watched the ball cannon off the bar. It was worked out wide to Alex Scott whose whipped centre was met on the volley by Aluko. Marisa Brunner was beaten but the woodwork intervened for a second time.
The visiting stopper was more alert to fist clear a Williams free-kick as England upped the ante midway through the half. Switzerland looked good going forward but England had begun to control possession of the ball and ask questions of the Swiss defence, and the right-back was the next player to get in on the action, though she sliced her shot wide after being teed up by a delicate, volleyed through ball from Aluko.
Despite the Three Lions' dominance, Bachmann was proving Switzerland's main threat up front and she reminded England of her ability when she jinked her way into space inside the box, though her shot was blocked by Faye White.
As half-time approached, England made their supremacy count with two goals in two minutes. On 44 minutes, Jill Scott expertly controlled Aluko's chipped pass and saw her close-range shot blocked by Brunner, who reacted quickly to repel Smith's effort from Alex Scott's cross. She was unable to keep out the second rebound from Williams, though, and the midfielder drilled Powell's side ahead with a low, left-foot shot from 15 yards.
It got even better before the whistle sounded and Williams was heavily involved once more, going from goalscorer to creator. She wrestled possession from Sandy Maendly and found Jill Scott in the centre, who, in turn, found Smith. Williams had continued her run and received the ball again, and although she lost her footing, she was able to feed Smith once more and the forward stroked home her record-breaking goal. More importantly it gave England an even better cushion going into the break.
It took the second half a while to get going and there were not many clear-cut chances created by either side. England were less troubled than they were in the opening 45 minutes but they were also unable to extend their advantage.
A 47th-minute shot from Jill Scott flew over the bar and Aluko later delivered a delicious left-wing cross which was missed by everyone, but by far the best opportunity of the half fell to Maendly after 75 minutes when she tried to lob Rachel Brown from the edge of the area, but England's goalkeeper watched it all the way and tipped it over the bar. Maendly then headed wide from the subsequent corner.
The two goalscorers both came close in the final five minutes with long range efforts. Smith's effort, after a neat turn on the edge of the box, bent just wide and Williams' effort was parried by Brunner and collected at the second attempt.
Swiss substitute Ana Maria Crnogorcevic raced clear of Rachel Unitt and into the box on 87 minutes but White was across quickly to block the shot at goal and ensure England will travel to Switzerland with a decent advantage.

The Warcraft Fan Art Section has been updated with 5 new pieces of fan artwork.
Would you like to share your artistic talents with the community? Submit your fan art today!
BlizzCon 2011 just got even better with today's announcement that the closing concert for this year's show will be headlined by none other than Foo Fighters. The multi-platinum rockers will take the stage to close out the convention with a set drawn from the many iconic anthems of their 16-year career. We also announced today that The Artists Formerly Known as Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain, Blizzard's in-house metal band, will be returning to BlizzCon this year and will open for Foo Fighters. Tickets to the convention are currently sold out, but the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, which offers multi-channel Internet streaming worldwide as well as a DIRECTV broadcast in the United States, is still available. Check out the official announcement for more information.
We've updated our Trading Card Game art gallery to feature ten new pieces. Each image is taken directly from the official World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Be sure to give a shout-out to your favorite pieces in the comments.
We commonly use the term "soon" when referring to Blizzard releases, because we know that no matter how hard we're working to reach a target, we're not going to compromise and launch a game before it's ready. For Diablo III, we were aiming to launch by the end of 2011. As we're announcing globally today, our new target for the game is early 2012.
While this news might not be a complete surprise, I know that many of you were hopeful that Diablo III would ship this year. We were too. However, this week we pulled together people from all of the teams involved with the game to decide whether we felt it would be ready before the end of December, and we grudgingly came to the conclusion that it would not. Ultimately, we feel that to deliver an awesome Diablo sequel that lives up to our expectations and yours as well, we should take a little more time and add further polish to a few different elements of the game.
The upside of today's announcement is that we will be running the beta test longer than we initially planned, which will allow us to invite more of you who have opted in.
For those taking on the Diableard challenge, we salute you -- and now fear for your well-being and personal hygiene. We hereby issue an official reprieve to all Diableard participants, including Blizzard employees, if you want to trim or otherwise manage the lower half of your face. We'd still love to see your beardly achievements, and we look forward to seeing more of your efforts as we move into 2012, but not to the detriment of your workplaces and significant others.
Thank you everyone for your support and anticipation for Diablo III. We're still moving ahead at full pace, and we'll be keeping you fully informed of any news and developments here at Diablo3.com, including the specific release date when the time comes, so stay tuned.
-Mike Morhaime

The fiery gates leading to the Burning Hells have begun to swing open, and the Diablo III beta test is officially underway. Invitations to participate in the beta test are now being delivered to the chosen heroes. As with beta tests for other Blizzard Entertainment games, the testing process for Diablo III will occur in phases. In addition to selecting players who have opted in via their Battle.net accounts, we'll also be providing keys through beta promotions and giveaways -- stay tuned for more info. We welcome those invited to provide feedback or report bugs on the official forums.
If you have a beta license, you are free to show, share, or talk about any portion of the beta content to which you have access, as this beta test is not confidential.
We'd like to remind those looking forward to an invite to be wary of phishing attempts. If you believe you've received an invite to the Diablo III beta test, it's best to refrain from clicking on any links in the email, and instead log in to your Battle.net account to see if a Diablo III beta game account was granted. Or, if you were sent a key, attempt to add it manually by going to the Add or Upgrade a Game section of the Battle.net account management page.
For those who have received an invite to the beta test, we thank you for helping us test out our server stability and hardware. For those of you still hoping for an invite, we wish you the best of luck and hope you'll keep an eye out for some of the beta-key giveaways and promotions we'll have right here on the Diablo III community site.
For more information, please see the beta opt-in announcement and FAQ.
We're pleased to announce that in most regions, PayPal will be our payment-service partner for the Diablo III auction house, allowing players who trade with real-world currency the ability to cash out the spoils of their battle-torn adventures via a PayPal account.
PayPal will also soon be added in several regions as a payment option on Battle.net, providing another convenient and secure payment method for digital purchases of Blizzard products and services.
We'll share region-related specifics, as well as further details on everything mentioned above, in the near future. Stay tuned!

OP, your pup sounds like a great dog - just lacking in some house manners. And also he's been taught some bad habits, like the shoe attack game. I know you didn't mean to teach him this, but if you "shake him off" then this is a fun game to him and he's not going to pass up the opportunity to play. Oops, lol.
Same with pinning when he's jumping on you. If you're grabbing him and he likes it (which most do) then you're encouraging him to continue. GSDs play rough anyhow, by nature. Some of us here roughhouse with our dogs, because we like it too
If he's good with his OB when he's near the training place, then he should also be good in your home - he knows the commands, he's just not being motivated to comply. I would stop giving him treats and instead: ask for certain behavior before a giving him an even better reward, like going outside for a game of fetch. Practice with him going into his crate, or lying on his bed. Get into the habit of tiring him out - and make it a routine where when he comes back indoors, he goes to his place and relaxes in the house. He'll learn that indoors is not a free-for-all area and outdoors is where all the fun is.
That last post paints a whole different picture. He's 2, you've had him for 6 months and his last home gave him up when he was still a teenager?
I would look at bite inhibition. He probably doesn't know he's not supposed to bite shoes. Someone in his past life forgot to teach him it's not okay to bite shoes.
Hide the shoes from him. Seriously, take them off and put them away before you see him.
Get him a boodah tug. Play tug of war with him to burn off his energy. You can even hang them in a tree or off a tetherball pole. They're physical dogs, they need to burn off that energy. Tired dog is a good dog.

You've had all the best advice already. No pinning required. That can totally backfire, and in a tragic way. NILIF, exercise, and with a GSD, you might think you're done training, but that doesn't mean you will ever be done working the dog A 2-3 mile run each day, even if you have to cheat and use a bicycle or golf cart (like I do, lol!), and 15-20 mins of OB per day will work wonders. Are you feeding him kibble? If so, don't put it in a bowl. Spend twenty minutes making him do commands to earn his kibble. It doesn't take that long, can be done in the kitchen, and has amazing results and it is FUN!

|Thank you for the in depth response. finding information and tips is sometimes a difficult to find. We rescued this GSD from a home about a 1 1/2 years ago and absolutely love him. He can be the sweetest dog in the world but at times can be aggrevating. I just signed up on this site today and will keep watching the posts I get taking notes as I go. Thanks again.
|David Taggart
I don't think that here you have a behavioral problem as such, you have a problem with young energy bursting out of him. He would rest on the settee and digest his dinner if he was tired. As far as I understand he is OK off leash. Think exercising him harder. "An obedient GSD is a tired GSD" - it was written in our club.
It would be wrong to define his behaviour as agressive. He simply demands yours and your wife's attention by biting you both, she can easily train him herself in your absence just knowing NILIF principles:

If he isn't engaged with you while out and about, I would start there, working on "watch," or whatever you use for focus. You can be random and unpredictable when on walks to teach him to pay attention. Once you have good engagement, the distractions mean less to the dog, and you can retain control through OB commands if necessary.
Getting the dog in the habit of paying attention to you and looking to you for guidance is the goal of these exercises. You need to be interesting and unpredictable without jabbering constantly at the dog. Use movement and random reinforcement to accomplish this.
As far as the bad behavior at home, it is something you shouldn't have allowed in the first place. I only say that so you understand, and so others reading this will understand, not to demean you in any way. I know you are doing your best.
First, I would manage the behavior in the house with a leash or drag line in the house at all times. If he begins jumping, you can step on the leash to control the dog instead of engaging him physically, which he might see as play.
I would also show him what behavior is rewarding, and which behavior is not. Work him inside with some treats or a toy held at chest level, so he knows they are there. When he jumps up, you say "nope" and break the engagement with the dog, putting the reward behind your back. The dog needs to see that when he jumps, the game stops and the rewards go away. If he is too big or excited to do this, have another person restrain him with the leash while you leave the room. If he sits instead of jumping, BAM, he gets a reward and the game continues.
You don't say if you are using corrections in training. If you are, you can pair a correction with the jump or mouthing. I think this training will probably work best with 2 people; one holding the leash behind the dog and one engaging the dog.
As Chip kind of alluded to earlier, pinning the dog isn't going to get you anywhere except amping the dog up further, or driving him into defense. Neither of these things is going to be productive in your training. I think your communication needs to be clear and concise, timed so the dog understands exactly what works to get the reward, and what causes failure.
Something to think about too is herding instinct.. not a clue if that is this situation.. but the not wanting you leave the house was definitely a light to me on herding. I had a boarder collie/lab mix that was like this. Anyone we talked to instantly said herding.
And yes, ramp up his exercise.. will help with calming him in the house.
|Thank you for your comments. When I said he completed two training sessions, it was two complete obedience courses. A basic class and an intermediate class. He was the model student. He will still do everything he learned when we take him by the training location for a visit. My wife does share an active part in spending time with Hank, however when he gets worked up he can be overpowering. I do have a 2 acres fenced for him to play and we do go through lots of toys and we do take him to the local stores that allow dogs inside (although mostly on the weekend. I looked into Rally, wasnt quite sure what that was. This does look promising and there may be stuff I can do indoors. At times it's hard to get him out doors everyday in the winter for exercise since everyone in the house either works or has school. Sounds like he may just be getting bored in the house and wants something different to do. Again, I do appreciate the comments.

A lot has happened at the Club since our last game, especially with the transfers, and in the end it all happened quickly.
48 hours before the transfer deadline I thought we could finish with nobody coming in, and nobody going out. Then two days later we had three players going, and had three coming in, it was miraculous.
It is good news for everyone that we got the transfers resolved. It's very important for us that everyone who is in the squad is focused on the targets we want to achieve. Having said that, I don't think you can put any of the Ashley Cole situation down to our bad start, that was down to us and the players that played, so we can't use that as an excuse. But as I said, it's good that the saga is over now.
Ashley Cole was a great player for Arsenal Football Club, and we can all be proud of him as a Club, because he came through the ranks and we all know how difficult that is at this level. He came through quickly and very soon was a full international. He won a lot of honours with Arsenal and we wish him well and thank him for all he did for us. He was a tremendous player for the Club, and nobody will forget that here.
Jose Reyes didn't have a footballistic problem, it was more down to adapting to an English way of life that he never really managed to do. He is from Seville, a completely different way of life, different culture, but he is a tremendous player, and it hurts me to lose him. But I agreed to the transfer because I got an opportunity to get a player I wanted, and he got the opportunity to go where he wanted, so that's why I did it.
We also said goodbye to Pascal Cygan, who also gave everything to this Club during his four years with us. We wish him all the best in Spain.
We have brought William Gallas in, who can play in different positions at the back, which is what we need. He is a winner, he has experience, and has the physical qualities we need. Also he is used to the Premier League - he knows what it is all about to go away to difficult places, so I'm very happy to have him here.
He can play left-back of course, and it is a possibility we will use him there because at the moment we have a problem there. Justin Hoyte prefers to play right-back, and William is perhaps the most capable to sort that problem out.
We signed Julio Baptista too, who has the power to play in midfield. In fact he has the ability to play in central midfield, wide midfield, as a striker or just behind the front man, so he is very versatile, and very efficient. The most notable thing about him though is that he has immense power, and is good in the air. Since Robert Pires left we have missed someone who can come from deep positions and get into the box. He can do that.
We have been used to having two wide players who regularly get at least ten goals a year. When that goalscoring potential goes, you have to be careful that you don't just play and play and play without scoring.
Our third signing was Denilson, who I have followed for two years now. We had him on trial, watched him on tapes, and we were trying to negotiate with him for a while, so I was pleased that we managed to finalise the deal just before the deadline.
He is a central midfielder, he can win the ball and he can use it. He is just 18 years old and was the captain of the Brazil Under-17 team. He is an exceptional talent, I am very happy for the future of the Club with this signing. He has a strong personality as well, basically he has everything you need to be a successful central midfielder.
I want him just to settle into life here at the Club for the next three months or so, and we have a nice little group of Brazilians now, so they can help him to settle here.
Talking of Brazilians, it was a nice experience on Sunday because it was the first time I was able to experience and enjoy our new stadium as a supporter does. I watched the Brazil v Argentina game from a different perspective and I was also impressed that there were nearly 60,000 people inside the stadium, for what was a friendly. It shows we have a massive supporter base.
I was also at the France v Italy game on Wednesday night, but I would say that 80 per cent of the games during the international break had no real footballing interest. For example you do not sit down to watch England v Andorra and expect to see a great game. When that happens, on a longer term basis that is not good for the game. There is a need to change it.
You saw it again on Wednesday when Germany won 13-0. That is not serious football, and it is disrespectful to the fans. Simple as that. I can understand the national pride, but the responsibility of the people who organise football is first of all to give quality to those who pay for it.
But now we are back to domestic football, and we need to get back to winning ways after our defeat at Manchester City.
The way we played against them generally was quite satisfying, but we lacked that cutting edge up front and at the back, and without that you will always struggle to win games. We saw that against Aston Villa too, and twice this season we have put ourselves in difficult positions by going behind. There were a lot of encouraging factors in both games, but now it is time to get results. We need to rectify that today against Middlesbrough.
They too made some good signings in the transfer window. Jonathan Woodgate has not played for a while but we know how good he is when he is not injured. When I was looking for a centre-half I thought about Woodgate, but frankly his injury record makes you a bit wary. If we had four experienced defenders, you would say he is worth the gamble, but we needed someone to come in to the team right away.
Middlesbrough can beat anybody on their day, but they have been inconsistent so far. We just have to think they will be at their best against us, and be ready for them.
Thanks for your support up in Manchester, get behind the boys again today.

Well before her graduation date in May 2013, environmental science major Kelly Schmitz knew she would transform her passion for animal conservation and recycling into a career.
Her professors at University of St. Thomas further fueled her enthusiasm by expanding her understanding of environmental issues and gave her practical experience through remarkable internships with the Houston Zoo.
Schmitz is among the 350 undergraduates and 793 graduate students who will participate in the University's 63rd Commencement Ceremony on May 18.
During her first internship, she learned about a different conservation area each week for eight weeks and fell in love with the field.
"Being from Houston, I'm especially concerned about the Greater Houston-Galveston area," Schmitz said. "Two of those weeks covered the coastal prairie grasses, the Galveston Bay coastal grass marshes and the fantastic efforts to keep them healthy."
The second internship focused on saving the Houston toad and gave the young environmentalist valuable hands-on experience with caring for amphibians in a zoo.
"Houston has changed so much that it's a hostile environment for the Houston toad—it can't survive here," Schmitz said. "The Houston Zoo's breeding program has produced about 2,000 toads, and they are working with Texas Parks and Wildlife to release them elsewhere in Texas so they don't become extinct."
From her classes at St. Thomas, she developed a strong grasp of the ecological and economic factors influencing environmental issues around the world, but she also understands the issues from a broader perspective in light of the Catholic intellectual tradition.
"What's important to know is God created humans and the natural world, and we're all interconnected," Schmitz said. "What happens to humans happens to nature and vice versa."
This perspective demands that humans recognize their special place in creation and the particular responsibility they have to care for the created world.
Sister Damien Marie Savino, FSE, chair of Environmental Science and Studies, said Schmitz is their outstanding graduate in environmental science this year.
"In addition to her major in environmental science, she earned a minor in theology, Sister Damien Marie said. " I am sure Kelly's enthusiasm and dedication, along with the skills and well-rounded background she received at UST, will enable her to make real contributions to the environmental field and in whatever she chooses to do in the future."
Global issues she finds especially compelling include the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," an area in the ocean where so much discarded plastic trash, chemical sludge and other debris has accumulated that it has formed two eerie masses which threaten the wildlife that try to feed there.
"I'm so riled up by what's happening all over the world that I just have to take action," Schmitz said. "I understand that the magnitude of the problem overwhelms some people, and they feel defeated. I'm not like those people. I need to be part of the solution."
She encourages everyone to do what they can to help the environment. Some of her suggestions are to recycle and volunteer in conservation efforts, especially animal species protection. A dream job for Schmitz would be to work in animal conservation, and she is applying for positions to help her do that. Until she lands her dream job, you can find her where she loves to be—volunteering her experience and enthusiasm in the conservation field.
Environmental Science and Studies Program
The Environmental Science and Studies program at University of St. Thomas is unique among environmental programs in the United States. While many universities offer programs that study the environment from the perspective of ecology or economics, UST is able to go a step further to explore environmental issues from a moral perspective in light of the Catholic intellectual tradition.
The program educates students as to the moral imperative to care for the earth, especially as advanced by Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. At the same time, it equips students with the technical skills needed to pursue graduate studies or become entry-level environmental professionals. The program also focuses on urban issues, with opportunities for hands-on field experiences and community service. The university's location in Houston near Buffalo Bayou, the Houston Arboretum, the ship channel, and the Gulf of Mexico presents unique opportunities for environmental training and field work.

Does the origin of the universe and its ultimate fate interest you? Do you want to know how space and time are related and if quarks are fundamental particles? If so, join the company of physicists who enjoy studying such fundamental questions. Do you have a desire to understand how devices operate? How efficient an engine can be? How to design a digital circuit to interface a computer to an instrument? How fiber optics can be used to transmit signals across the continent? These are practical questions that can be addressed using physics. Physics is the science that explores the fundamental behavior of nature.
Fascinating questions such as these provide the stimuli for physicists, yet the quest begins in an ordinary laboratory, learning that nature is orderly and its patterns can be discovered and comprehended. The behavior of ordinary particles and waves needs to be mastered before more complicated systems are examined. Concepts such as forces and energy provide the context for such explorations, and the results are far reaching. Broad areas such as astrophysics, high energy physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, optics and acoustics have provided primary insights into the essence of nature. These results have in turn been applied by many other disciplines such as medicine, geology, chemistry and biology. Many fields of engineering such as electrical, mechanical, nuclear and aeronautical are based on the principles developed in physics. Training in physics provides a broad basis for careers in a vast number of science and engineering disciplines.
Our graduates often continue their studies in graduate school, furthering their education in a specific branch of physics or another science. Others seek careers in disciplines such as geophysics, oceanography, mathematics, computer science and engineering. In addition, some find areas such as law, business and education to be attractive. These are professions for which the technical information and the quantitative patterns of thinking learned in physics are highly relevant. Physicists are regarded as the generalists of the scientific community with the knowledge and skills that are applicable to a wide range of professions, and consequently, are always in demand.

you all know that i have been scoping everything lately. 9mms, 5.56 and 7.62x39s --you name it i got er scoped--LOL
scoping all these irons can get expensive if you go all mall-ninja and eo-tec & trijacon everything.
the other day i stumbled on BSA blow out sale where they have this 'nifty" 6-24x "majestic" scope for $69 shipped- knowing these things retail for $209 but are mostly sold for about $160ish. the glass on my 1.5-4.5x BSA turkey scope seems very clear for its modest price , and i have a friend that has bought a few of these 6-24x44 majestic scopes and he seems very happy with his--and he paid much closer to retail for his 3 majestic scopes--though not hardly the FULL retail MSRP. i doubt any of these BSAs sell for their asking prices--
BSA has a spotty rep on the interwebs and i have only the three to base my experience on. so keep that in mind.
the majestic is the next step down from the 'gold star" top of their line and it is supposed to have the same glass and no questions asked lifetime warranty. so it ain't the top BSA but it is close in the BSA line up.
the scope came in today via UPS --packed in a plain cardboard box with a retail box inside with the scope-= all that was in the box was one piece of foam, the scope in a plastic bag , a users manual , warranty card and a set of bikini-covers. no mounts like most of their "lesser priced models". it was not an open box or factory referb. it was in a brand new scope in a factory sealed box.
out of the box the scope looks awful good for $69. it is smaller than i expected. it is only an inch or two longer than the bushnell 3-9x40 and the weight is very close. mounted up on the ar-15 it seems not much bigger at all--not nearly as clunky as i thought it would be.
this scopes has an "fast focus" adjustment at the rear "bell" and it has paralax adjustment on the side this adjustment goes from 15,30,50,75,100,200 then infinity.
the scopes mag adjustment is smooth as are all of its adjustments.
i just set it on an ar-15 today which is dark and rainy. the scope seems very bright , possibly there is something to BSA claim of 95% light transmission? even on 24x it it seemed plenty bright-- and it has been a dark day --even peering into the dark areas under the pine trees in the shadows you could clearly see even on 24x--
i was half expecting it to go "dark" as fast as a cheap flashlight with a weak battery when the mag got turned up to around 24X!
next up is the glass it is very clear --as clear as the BSA turkey plex is and it is a far lower powered scope. now i have looked through "cheap-china made " high mag scopes before and they looked like crap--fuzzy distorted images , dark ect ect--
if i didn't know better --you couldn't tell me this thing was "made in china" --
this one is very clear --provided you got the side adjustment and the fast-focus adjusted. and it is clear all the way through the mag range, even the edges of the glass are clear --
the cross hairs are a plex type with a BDC built in --they seem "OK" but i never was a fan of "busy" cross hair set ups. it not too bad it compares with vortex "drop dead BDC" and looks a hell of a lot better than some of the nikon BDC types i have seen.
the eye relief is supposed to be 4". i figure it is a bit shy of that -- more like 3.5" on my ar-15 set up. one thing i like about it is turning the mag up from 6x to 24x the eye position don't change hardly any. i don't know if i would put it on my hard kicking 6.4lb savage without getting a eye full of scope.
more heavy irons or more moderate kicking irons will be fine i suspect.
little things you should know about the majestic 6-24x44
the scope as good as it is it has a rather tight eye box and a rather narrow "sweet spot". with such a huge magnification range this is sort of expected. this scope has to be carefully mounted for optimum eye position , otherwise your going to tunnel out, black out,ect ect--
once you got it set up --it works like a clock , you can go from 6x to 24x and then back to 6x on the target and not get fuzzy, tunnel out, go black, fish eye or any of that shit.
all the adjustments might be a bit much for hunting -- i figure you could turn it to 6x and set the side adjustment to whatever the range is on the stand. it could be used pretty well provided you gave it a little thought before hunting with it -- a bit much for a brush gun though--LOL
the turrets feel and click pretty good , not great but good , the adjustments on the turrets are not real plentiful though the seem enough for most uses.
i suppose if your shooting really long range shots and need more elevation you could use some of those offset inserts or mounts.
BSA does look to have improved their products quite a bit, at least in the more upscale products. or maybe i got lucky-- but this seems to be a great scope for the $--
if you in the market for a moderlety priced scope it might be worth it to give BSA sale a look.


text: Sigs are very solid firearms. I had a 239 in .357 Sig that was an absolute sewing machine. I got tired of chasing around for that expensive ammo and sold the thing. Some time later, I got a Mosquito .22 and it was a real mess, but I wouldn't expect any trouble from a duty weapon such as you have here. Very nice!

Iona College women's track freshman Regina Neumeyer was named the Buffalo Wild Wings Student-Athlete of the Week after finishing 18th overall in the 3,000-meter steeplechase quarterfinal at the NCAA East Preliminary at the University of North Florida's Hodges Stadium.
Neumeyer was sixth overall in her heat, just under five seconds shy of the final semifinal qualifier. Her time of 10:17.75 set a new Iona freshman and overall record in the 3k steeple chase. Neumeyer broke her own school record by more than two seconds set earlier this season at the Stanford Invitational on Apr. 6. Her top two times in the record book are nearly 14 seconds faster the No. 3 performer on the list.

|I'm glad you brought it up Wayne, it's a question that comes up often, even in the professional arena and could help others understand the differences in usage.
|wayne gillis
peeling paint
Thanks for the explanation 69 widetrack , I was just given him a starting point .
|69 widetrack
Thanks for posting this information Mr.4 speed
|69 widetrack
Thanks Brian, I very much appreciate your comments. Chemical stripping is a very viable and safer (especially for the panel) method of stripping large panels, it minimizes the chance of warping. It should also be noted that you mentioned to use New, Sharp and Quality when using sand paper to strip a large panel or any part for that matter...I would agree with this comment 100%...VERY IMPORTANT...As your using the abrasive, it start to loose it's (grit) cutting power and creates heat, the coarser the grit and speed of the machine, the more heat. Think of it this way, when grinding a weld smooth with a 36 or even 50 grit disc, it's easy to see the heat marks, the metal can turn blue from heat very quickly. If the machine is used in only a small area, it also creates excessive heat in that area causing the panel to warp. The combination of these factors coupled with thinner metal on newer cars and perhaps inexperience on the part of the person performing the task, can lead to an expensive and time consuming situation. This is critical enough to say that even experienced persons can experience this problem. when using abrasives versus chemical means to strip a large panel.
Good call on deck lids Mr4speed, I had a very experienced individual stripping an aluminum deck lid on a Mercedes a while back and it cost me a lot of time and money...He would get a reaction to the chemicals in Aircraft Stripper and refused to use it, but, didn't want to tell me about his reaction to stripper, started to strip the trunk lid with paper and it warped, so I paid the tab.
This is not to say that using abrasives won't work, they do, but whenever possible, conditions allowing (the odor seems to be more nasty for some than others...like my wife) chemical stripper is a safer route for the larger panels, especially larger panels that don't have body lines in them.
|Brian, good call on the stripping of hoods, and roofs, and I will also add trunk lids as well. I don't know about any one else out there but I have had a tough time stripping the inside of hoods and trunk lids even using a wire wheel. The heat from this is enough to completely destroy a nice straight panel. The other way to destroy for sure is sandblasting the insides of these panels. It is very hard to believe that the little bit of heat from these stripping techniques will damage anything, but just beware it will for sure.
I have to tell you, you can warp the hoods or roofs on those cars EASY with a sander. You have to be very careful to use NEW. SHARP, QUALITY paper and change it often and not work in one area long.
But I have to tell you, at the shop, that sucker gets chemically stripped we never strip large panels like a hood, trunk or roof with a sander.
If the whole part needs to be stripped (they usually do) then that part comes off the car usually, if it is a bolt on. A hood, no brainer, it gets pulled off and set on a stand and stripped with Aircraft stripper. The roof, the car gets bagged with plastic masked off at the roof protecting the sides of the car and it gets stripped with Aircraft stripper.
You have to give it a lot of respect, but that striper saves a lot of time.

This is a debate...it's the same old story, I did a seminar on this about a year ago and one of the people asked me what I preferred, I told him that I liked epoxy and explained why (as I did in my previous response), another guy stood up and said he did a test, one panel with epoxy (PPG DPLF 40) and one with Nason etch primer, left both panels out in the elements for 1 year and the etch stood up much better than the epoxy, apparently the epoxy lifted around the edges and started to rust.
I asked him how the metal was prepped and where they both prepped the same, he started getting upset and told me of course they where and that it was a stupid question. I asked if he allowed the proper induction time for the epoxy (not required for all epoxy primers but for DPLF 40 you need to mix your primer and let it sit for awhile before apply it)...he asked what induction time was....did this cause the epoxy to fail in comparison to etch, I don't know, I wasn't there to see what happened but if he didn't know what induction time meant, chances are he didn't follow instructions and when they aren't followed your guess is as good as mine.
I've used both, believe in both, but, prefer epoxy for the reasons I mentioned earlier, is one better than the other as far as preventing rust. I'd say rust prevention or minimization is more about prep more than product, they both work if you follow instructions, if you get rust after applying a rust preventative product correctly, chances are you screwed up somewhere else.
I would say over 90% of warranty claims I paid out where not product failure, they where more to keep a good customer that had human failure happen. This is not to say that products don't fail, I remember a clear coat from a major manufacturer in the early 90's that consistently yellowed, that was product failure and was recalled and warranty was paid, but that is more uncommon than common.
Hope this explains the differences between the 2 products.
seems like the good epoxy primers out there today have pretty much replaced any need for etch primer, no?
Maybe use etch on smooth metal that has not been sanded?
Trying to figure it out
|69 widetrack
Yesterday, I stripped a frame, 2 coats epoxy, flash, 2 coats satin black poly urethane. Worked very well. Etch primer, without the build properties, would require another top coat to fill the profile of the metal after stripping, where as the epoxy did fill the profile, gave the rust protection and allowed me the wet on wet process in order to complete the task in one day.
The frame I did is not for a vehicle that is going to be exclusively shown at car shows, it's a show driver, rain or shine. On the other hand, if it was a show car only (Trailer Queen), when basically time and budget constraints where not an issue, I would prefer the method of either the etch or epoxy, 2K high build, block sand and top coat, not only for the frame but, the entire car.
Hope I explained it well enough.
|wayne gillis
peeling paint
I agree with stripping it down to bare metal with 80 grit , than applying some
etching primer to protect against rust .
|It's NOT just a silver color problem. My white 1991 s-10 4x4 looks horrible! It just started peeling about 2 years ago. My Dad bought it new and I bought it from him. One time after a rain, i was driving down the street and it was blowing off in sheets. I couldn't believe it. Now it's starting to rust but it has to wait it's turn to get into the garage for paint prep. Too many projects or too small of garage (3-car). Something to do with the water base primer is what I heard.
|69 widetrack
Yes, the paint should be taken off completely...everywhere. You can use a DA (dual action) sander with 80 grit to remove the existing paint. Take all the paint off to bare metal, do any body work you require, epoxy prime the car. Depending on the type of epoxy primer you use, it may be block sanded and ready for paint or it may need a 2 part high build primmer applied, block sanded and paint.
Sounds easy...well it's a lot of work.
Hope this helps.
|Strip it!!
Very common with these trucks. My white 96 C2500 is flaking in a few spots, as is the neighbors white K1500 across the street. I think remember one of our paint gurus on here mentioning that the primer was at fault and the paint made only a mechanical bond with it and as the paint cured (which it continues to do over time, apparently) the mechanical bond gave. I'm paraphrasing and might have got it wrong. I know very little about body work compared to the guys on here.
Point is that you need to take it down to the metal as said above.

that would work if I used a nut the same size or bigger than the trunion threads. every thing else would be the same as you described. except the smaller nut would still go against the trunion. it just goes on from the front and stays with the barrel with the Gb installed. this will you to reduce the profile and also use all the take off barrels out there that can be rechambered.Quote:
I guess I'm missing something. The way I'm envisioning it I'd thread the nut onto the barrel at the breech end. Turn it on, advancing it toward the muzzle until it contacts the thread shoulder.
Turn the barrel/nut combo into the threaded trunnion, advance/retreat until headspace is set, then tighten the nut against the trunnion. Re-check headspace and if still correct, make witness marks on trunnion and barrel for future headspacing and retiming.
here some picks how it looks on a a trunion with a nut it still locks on the trunion face just the nut threads are smaller ID to take advantage of the profile reducing on many barrels and to allow a nut to clear the RSB as well allow modifed factry hand guards to fit.
got to think out side the box guys :) HMMMMM a OTB47 swithbarrel rifle would be a good name

You can dig what?
That he was pulled over for speeding?
That they don't have driver's licenses or vehicle registrations?
That in violation of a court order they are preventing a father from seeing the kids he has legal custody of?
That because this "little guy" is hiding behind children and the authorites are using discretion instead of putting them in harms way he will most likely get away with all of it?
He is no hero, no revolutionary, no patriot...he is nothing more than a common criminal, hiding behind children, armed to the teeth, fully aware that the police do not want another Waco with dead children on their hands.
Honestly, why in God's name would you support him?

Ok, JP it is - although I do like knowing the real names, it's more personal ;)
JP, about the vaccuum. I am going to get my Husband to make one for me this year, I might have a swarm in a tree up high, hee, hee.I have heard that one of the problems with the vacuum is that the vacuum box can get sticky with honey from the bees, so one must be very careful to not suck them in too hard, the vacuum must be very light with suction. Did you ever have the honey get all over the place inside it? Have a wonderful and beautiful day, beautiful life. Cindi
I will get to Home Depot tomorrow and check this outThanksAnnette

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Just tried this out yesterday on the rear foot toe strap for my old Cartels! Awesome little mod!!!! No more fishing around, searching or threading that damned ladder strap! No more finding it's gotten wedged under the toe of the boot etc.
Just step in, swivel the whole assembly over your toe, push, ratchet n GO!!!!
Love it, Thanks for sharing!
MoparMan to add to your idea which I really like. Good post for the forum.
Ever think of a Christmas tree plug or grommet type fastener/plug. It would really help clean up the look, no chance of tearing a glove and removable if necessary.
I know this was a 1st attempt just putting in my engineering thoughts
Something along the lines of these, of course sized to fit and look proper.
Brilliant. I might have to try this on my Ride Revolts. It's not a cap strap but it is a hybrid toe strap that can fit around the boot's toe rather than on top of it. I've been thinking about getting a set of Burton cap straps and seeing if I can get them attached to my Rides. Anyone tried this? It appears Burton uses straps that install by feeding them through the underside of the binding and they're held in place by a big round notch that cathes in a socket built into the binding. IIRC, Ride uses nuts and bolts, so I may have to do some modding. I really like the true cap strap, same as the Baltimore toe strap from Technine (pretty sure they came up with it first but Burton appears to have done pretty well with it, and I can't find a set of replacement Baltimore straps, but Burton cap straps are easy to find online).
Great idea and nice write-up!
I think the over-sized ladder is the key though.
I have a pair of Salomon fast fit, they work.
ballistic, from this forum, has done what you've done to a pair of burtons.
I guess my 9.5 Flow Hylites are bigger than his 9.5 K2 Thraxis'
What a fuckin' nightmare for me when we swapped out boards
I had to twist my boot, put my toe in, then try lift me heel over the side of the highback.
I've already thought of how to improve it
You need to attach a little piece of aluminum to the end of the strap, that looks like this "T" As long as the perpendicular part is wider than the ladder it won't go through.
|So perfect! I was really confused the first time I saw it on a Salomon binding but three seconds after playing with it I realized the brilliance. Not great for monster sized boots or people overly concerned about pure aesthetics (The Salomon versions have a HUGE ladder strap on the toe) but for the rest of us it's pretty great
|Brilliant. Love it Thanks for sharing.
Easy quick strap binding modification
Hey guys, wanted to just share this little modification that I did. I'm sure I'm not the first one to come up with it but this is how I made my bindings a little quicker to get into.
To my knowledge Salomon is the only one who makes the Fast Fit toe strap. Which if you have never seen keeps the ratchet side and the notched strap attached at all times. You just lengthen the toe strap all the way to slide your boot in, push it down and just give a few ratchets and your set.
I only recommend doing this if you have the cap toe strap and NOT the traditional toe strap that goes on top of the boot.
With a Few pictures below, this is what I did to modify my Burton Customs to do the same thing. Its pretty simple if you have the right tools, and you don't have to do it exactly how I did; just use the same concept.
To start, connect the toe strap and lengthen it out to where the ratchet is on the last tooth of the strap and put your boot on and step in the binding to see if your straps are long enough in the first place and see if you feel like there is enough room to slide your boot in and out easily.
What I did was took a drill with an 1/8 inch drill bit and drilled into the out most part of the toothed side toe strap, giving a little room so it doesn't get ripped out if it gets yanked on. I connected both sides and put an 1/8 inch rivet through the hole. This makes it where the binding can't come all the way undone when you undo your bindings. I'm sure you can use other things in place of the rivet, but I had some and they are light, small, and not very noticeable!
Hope this helps some of you who struggle putting your bindings on standing up or who just want to do it a little quicker. If ya have any questions just ask!

Lefty Driesell called me out of the blue early Wednesday morning with some stories to tell about Tom McMillen.
"Hey, did you know he's being inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame," he said, pleasantries barely exchanged. "He's going to be the first Maryland player ever in there."
Indeed, the news of McMillen's induction was released in early April, but on Sunday he and six others will be enshrined during a ceremony in Kansas City. Driesell, the legendary Maryland coach who recruited McMillen over an avalanche of other suitors, was disappointed he couldn't attend, his body not much suited for commercial air travel these days, but he wanted to talk about the former all-American big man just the same.
"I've been trying to get him in there for years," Driesell said. "Hey, how many Rhodes Scholars they got here?"
Before McMillen? Just one: three-time all-American, NBA star and U.S. Senator Bill Bradley.
Driesell has another connection in the class of 2013, too. George Raveling, the first assistant coach hire he made upon arriving in College Park, will also be inducted as a "contributor," for his work as Nike's director of international basketball. Raveling played at Villanova, coached at Washington State, Iowa and Southern California and helped lead the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in 1984.
"It's a big deal for me, anyway," Driesell said. "I think the Maryland people should be proud of it, that we're getting two … one a player, one a coach in the Hall of Fame."
But back to McMillen, who is on the Maryland Board of Trustees and a is vocal presence in university affairs, including the school's Big Ten move. Before he came to Maryland — where he was named all-ACC three times and averaged a career double-double — he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high schooler, ranked as the nation's best big man behind, the story notes, Len Elmore.
That article, written for the Feb. 16, 1970 issue by Peter Carry, is well worth a read. Seriously, if McMillen was staying stuff like this in high school, no wonder he became a U.S. congressman and Rhodes Scholar:
"I want to go to a school that's concerned with the students' problems," he says. "But I wouldn't want to go to a place like Columbia where they have had open violence. I feel an atmosphere like that would detract from my experience as a student and a player.
"Still, I think a school should be interested in getting things done. I read National Review and I think there are some good ideas in there, but I wouldn't want to be called a conservative. I don't want people to think I'm against progress. I can't see having my name associated with a place like Alabama, where they really haven't faced up to-problems, or a school like Georgia in a state where Governor Maddox actually seems to be against progress.
"I hear a lot of older people saying that students shouldn't dissent. They tell me things like: 'We never did; we respected our faculty.' Well, today we have to evaluate our own situation. Times are changing and we shouldn't simply imitate older persons on student unrest and things like that."
So go read that, and read about how McMillen discussed wheat-germ oil, ordered snails and kangaroo-tail soup, and averaged 46.2 points per game while shooting 77 percent from the field.
"He was a straight-A student, I don't know what he was in the Catholic church … choir boy or something," Driesell said. "He was a great kid, made straight A's, did the same thing at Maryland. I always made my players write down goals. He said he wanted to be a Rhodes Scholar. And he said he wanted to be an all-American basketball player. I said Tom, pick one or the other. Everybody would be reading the paper on road trips. He was always reading the Wall Street Journal and Life Magazine.
"I think he made one B the whole time he was at Maryland. He was complaining, saying the teacher was a hippie. She used to come to class barefoot. Tom was Tom. He was serious about everything. But he said he didn't have time to run for student president."

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – No. 2 Syracuse (7-1) recorded the 800th win in its illustrious history on Saturday, April 3 with a 15-8 victory against Albany (2-7) in front of a Carrier Dome crowd of 5,229.
Senior Chris Daniello paced the Orange offense, tying his career high with five points (2g, 3a) to help Syracuse join Johns Hopkins (896 wins) as the only two Division I programs to reach the 800-win plateau. The Orange also got two goals and two assists from junior Josh Amidon, and three goals and one assist from classmate Stephen Keogh in the win.
The Orange's all-time record stands at 800-309-16 (.718) since the inception of varsity lacrosse at Syracuse in 1916.
It was a milestone day for Keogh as well. He topped the 100-point mark for his career with the performance and now has 101 points (91g, 10a) in 44 career games. Keogh reached the milestone with a goal in the third quarter, his second of the day, before tacking on another goal in the final period.
In addition, senior Max Bartig tied his career best with three goals, and junior Jovan Miller matched his personal high with three points (2g, 1a) as Syracuse extended its current home winning streak to 13 games. For Miller, it was his third straight two-goal outing.
The Orange gained control of the game at the outset and never trailed in the contest. Junior Jeremy Thompson got Syracuse on the board 49 seconds into game. After a save by Albany goalie John Carroll, Thompson forced a turnover and scored on a bounce shot from seven yards out to give the hosts a 1-0 lead.
The score ignited the Orange, which scored the game's first four goals. Included in the run was a sensational behind-the-back tally by Keogh off a rebound that made the score 3-0 with 7:55 to go in the opening quarter.
Syracuse led 5-2 after the first period and extended its margin to five (7-2) with 6:13 left in the first half on a man-up goal by Amidon and an unassisted tally by Miller.
By halftime, Syracuse's advantage had swelled to 9-3.
Albany's Kyle Brunk scored 1:01 into the third quarter to close the gap to 9-4, but Syracuse notched three of the game's next four goals to up 12-5 with eight minutes left in the period.
The seven-goal margin was too much for the visitors to overcome. Every time Albany began to chip away at the lead, the Orange responded with a score of its own to keep the Great Danes at bay.
Dave Brock paced the Great Danes with two goals and an assist. Albany also got three points (1g, 2a) from Brian Caufield in the contest.
Albany goalie John Carroll took the loss. However, he turned in a solid performance, making 14 saves, including several stops on one-on-one situations around the crease.
Syracuse held the advantage in shots (46-32), ground balls (45-28) and benefitted from 25 Albany turnovers. The Orange also won 15 of the game's 27 faceoffs.
Senior Gavin Jenkinson led the Orange effort in the faceoff circle, going 8-for-14. Thompson was 6-for-10. The duo had their hands full with Albany faceoff specialist Matt Mackenzie, who took all 27 draws and won 12.
Next up for Syracuse is No. 5 Princeton on Saturday, April 10. The Orange and Tigers will meet at the Big City Classic, a lacrosse tripleheader that is the first public event at New Meadowlands Stadium in E. Rutherford, N.J. Start time is 6:30 p.m. and the game will be televised live nationally on ESPNU.

Standard for 9-Inch Skillet
Pros: Built to last for many years
Cons: none
I have used this skillet for a very long time and have cooked almost everything on it. Like the previous reviewer its not mean to be used to large amounts of food but used correctly in the right amounts of meats or sauces. I use this pan the most when I cook specialty foods because when it comes down to my catering career, consistency is key.
Cleans very easy and fast too.
Highly recommend this for the pro who wants a standard pan in their kitchen.

Re: Paul Ryan VP announcement imminent
DADE - The 08 election was the first when young people could vote. Before you had
to be 21. However, those youth that voted for them have graduated and don't have
jobs. Many are with OWS so OBY probably won't get the youth vote this year.
Indies are turning vs him too and I posted stats that Mitt will get an increase in
black votes. The like I posted said OBY is taking blacks for grants and they and
hispanics have the highest unemployment rate.

Re: Paul Ryan VP announcement imminent
You said young people never vote. I don't remember them voting either.
Their first election was Nixon v Mondale. That was my first election but was over 18 just
missing the 68 election.
I stand corrected.

Re: Paul Ryan VP announcement imminent
My point was the narrative has been written already and it's now Ryan's job to try and fix it. Take a look at the hecklers at his last two speeches and you'll see what I am talking about.
As for the debates, it's a sea of liberal moderators so I don't think he'll get a fair chance there either.

Re: Paul Ryan VP announcement imminent
So I was listening to Rush at lunch and heard him cite a story.
It's a very small sample but still interesting.
Before the announcement, senior citizens split 28 percent apiece positively and negatively on Ryan, but afterward his favorable number shot to 46 percent with no change on the other side of the equation. Seniors are likely to get even more outsized attention in the coming months due to Ryan's controversial proposal to change the Medicare entitlement. A Post-Kaiser poll released over the weekend shows broad, cross-party opposition to such a change.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin

Re: Paul Ryan VP announcement imminent
You know, I am really curious as to what you guys actually like about Paul Ryan's budget proposal. Let me list all the things I DISLIKE about it:
Military spending is completely untouched. This is a huge portion of our spending (pretty disproportionate), and the Ryan budget would leave this completely untouched. Adjusted for inflation, we're spending more than what we were spending when we were dealing with a Soviet Nuclear threat. Great logic there.
According to Ryan, he'll raise revenues by "closing loopholes." Now, we don't know what these loopholes are, and Mr Ryan basically just told us, "Don't worry about it." Ironically, Mitt Romney probably used more of these loopholes than we even know exist. Don't worry though, I'm sure those are the loopholes that'll be eliminated, not things like mortgage tax shelters and things that the common people take advantage of. Right? I mean when Mitt Romney somehow has over a 100 million in his IRA that allows a maximum contribution of 30,000 a year, that sounds like an issue, seeing as how its all tax-free. But don't worry about that, let us think about the loopholes.
Mr. Ryan identifies rising health care costs as a problem. Not once has he explained how he wants to solve the problem.
Also, while we're slashing Social Security/Medicare, since the average person on medicare will pay almost 7000$ more, lets go ahead and cut education funding by 33%. Because remember, education isn't important, even though the US is consistently falling behind inmost educational categories outside of the Collegiate system. Its fine though, the Republican's will fix everything. While we're at it, lets double the interest rate on student loans, even though Student Debt has already surpassed the credit card debt. Makes plenty of sense, after all, students are the ones in a position to pay for stuff.
Honestly, neither party is worth shit anymore. I'm not going to sing Obama's praises either, but Paul Ryan is living in a fairy tale world which simply is not reasonable. And Mitt Romney hasn't shown me how he plans to help his "middle class brethren" with his taxation plan that basically just helps the wealthy. Although that's essentially the agenda for both parties (make the wealthy wealthier, lobbying has to pay off somehow), the Republicans are so overt about it, its kind of sickening. The state of American politics is kind of pathetic these days, with both parties offering a pretty horrible choice, and basically being force to choose whose less of an idiot.
Also, on the subject of the AARP lying to people...really?
How about Death Panels, and the VAST amount of misinformation propagated about the Affordable Healthcare Act. Lets look even more recent. Romney lying about Obama trying to remove military voting rights (completely false), while his party pushes to disenfranchise as many Democratic leaning voters as humanly possible. Not even trying to persuade them in an argument, just straight up taking away their right to vote with Voter ID laws and the like. Lying sucks, but don't act like its only Democrats.

public defense system that ensures the provision of public defense services in the most cost efficient manner consistent with the Oregon Constitution, the United States Constitution and Oregon and national standards of justice[.]"
The PDSC appoints the executive director for OPDS. The OPDS has two divisions: Contract and Business Services (CBS) and the Appellate Division (AD), formerly known as the State Public Defender.
CBS is responsible for administering the public defense contracts that provide legal representation for financially eligible persons in criminal, civil commitment and juvenile proceedings and for processing requests and payments for non-contract fees and expenses. Contracts provide trial-level representation and appellate representation on cases not handled by AD.
AD is the appellate arm of OPDS. The division provides constitutionally mandated representation in the appellate courts to financially eligible persons in misdemeanor and felony criminal offenses, including capital offenses, parents in juvenile dependency cases, and inmates appealing administrative decisions from the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision.

Posted by Dan Bieler on the CIOs Blog on November 23, 2011
T-Systems' Analyst Summit 2011 in Frankfurt was dominated by updates on the progress the company made regarding its restructuring projects. As a result of these efforts, T-Systems has created the basis to become a more efficient and agile ICT services provider going forward. Still, in our view, the period between mid-2010 to mid-2011 was a lost year for T-Systems — despite the obvious progress T-Systems made in addressing its past challenges.
In some respects, T-Systems had become a victim of its own success in 2009 and 2010. T-Systems was clearly overwhelmed by its multibillion deals (with clients including Linde, BP, Shell, E.ON, MAN, Continental, etc). Delivery capacities were stretched to the limit, manifesting in serious transition and transformation challenges. T-Systems was forced to allocate more capacities to big deals, thus depressing margins to just over 2% in Q3 2011 (see chart below). T-Systems still aims to reach the peer-group average EBIT margin.
Source: company reports
About a year ago, T-Systems began to restructure its entire operations in a mammoth project, effectively redrawing the entire organisational structure and reshuffling the top management team, except for the CEO and CFO. The Analyst Summit provided some insights that these efforts are beginning to bear fruit:
