Brief Intervention for Drug Misuse in the Emergency Department (BIDMED)
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

- How to Read a Study Record
Although screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) approaches are effective in reducing alcohol misuse and its associated risk-taking behaviors and negative consequences, there is little research demonstrating the effectiveness of SBIRT for illicit and/or prescription drug misuse. Misusers of illicit and/or prescription drugs frequently seek medical care in emergency departments (EDs), particularly for reasons related to their misuse. As a result, the ED is well suited as a site to conduct an analysis of the effectiveness of SBIRT for this population.
The Brief Intervention for Drug Misuse for the Emergency Department (BIDMED) study is a randomized, controlled, trial that will include adult ED patients at a large, academic, trauma center (Rhode Island Hospital) and a community hospital (The Miriam Hospital) who have a subcritical illness or injury and whose screening indicates illicit and/or prescription drug misuse. BIDMED participants will be randomized to receive screening only (SO) or brief intervention (BI) with appropriate referral to treatment. Participants will complete a battery of blinded baseline assessments using standardized instruments as well as adapted instruments specific to the aims of this study. All participants will undergo blinded follow-up assessments at three, six, and twelve months post-randomization. The primary hypotheses addressed in the BIDMED study are that, compared to participants in the SO arm, participants in the BI arm will show a significantly greater reduction in: (1) drug misuse within the prior 30 days at three months post-randomization, (2) behaviors associated with drug misuse at six months post-randomization; and (3) negative physical health, psychosocial health, and socioeconomic consequences at twelve months post-randomization. As a secondary aim, the impact of BI compared to SO will be assessed on participants contacting, enrolling in, and completing a drug treatment program. In addition, the impact of BI compared to SO on increasing uptake of HIV and hepatitis B/C screening will be measured. A mechanisms of change model that addresses the expected mediators and moderators of change to explain the effects of SBIRT in this setting will also be developed and tested. Further, the epidemiology of illicit and/or prescription drug misuse will be assessed in a random sample of ED patients.

It's optional.
Student or Learner
"If you looked through the window youd think we were the perfect family but its tearing me apart. My friends say I should kick him out and only then will he realise what splitting up really means, because at the moment hes having his cake and eating it."
More: I can't keep living a lie with my husband - Coleen Nolan problem page - Mirror Online
1- "Have your cake and eat it"
2- "Have cake and eat it too"
Does dropping the adverb too right here as Rover said "expecting listeners to finish them for themselves" or it is an optional?
It's optional.
You could drop more than that and expect people to understand. It's such a well-known saying, you could probably get away with "He's having his cake ..."
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.

At the end of Okinawan parties or events, they often do a dance called kachashi. This is a very free and spirited dance. There is an example at YouTube at:
We sort of do a similar "dance" to teach koshi. We begin by teaching students to relax their arms (with their elbows close to their body) and wave them from side to side. We start in the gedan position but progress to chudan and jodan. Soon the students can wave their hands in all positions while moving their koshi from side to side (in a sort of rotary way).
When they can do this, we teach them to be able to throw Karate techniques from the rhythm of the kachashi-like movement. For example, the student might swing his arms in the gedan position and then throw a gedan barai. As he progresses, the student can learn to throw any movement. Essentially, all movements are either like a backhand or a forehand, and either directional movement is easily accessible from within the "dance."
More advanced students can "walk" while dancing -- and throw techniques while moving. Even more advanced students can learn to internalize the rhythm.
Sometimes we hear that there is Karate in Okinawan dances. Perhaps this is true, although I do not think that there is modern linear Karate in the dances. Any Ti techniques would probably be more flowing, like Aikido or Ju Jitsu.
I do know that koshi exercises can look a lot like some movements of Okinawan dances. Whether this is a coincidence or not, I cannot say.

Post subject: Lexicon of MBGA
I was thinking that it's about time we started documenting geocaching terms that are specific to our province. There is a
Lexicon of Geocaching
page that lists TFTC, Muggles, etc.
Can you help me compile a list? Ertyu will post the final version on the MBGA web site.
Format should be "term" - Definition
My entries:
"Dani Radius" - The 5km radius from your home coordinates. This term started when dani_carriere decided her main goal was to find all the caches within 5kms of her home co-ordinates.
"Dani Number" - The number of caches left to find in your Dani Radius
"ZDNR" - See Zero Dani Number Radius
"Zero Dani Number Radius" - The distance to the next nearest cache from your home co-ordinates.
"Mr. Reachy" - A long tool used to reach caches that your arm cannot.
please add any that you can think of! Thanks!

I can only think of three right now:
SOUP - Sticks Of Unusual Positioning
Tobey or Skaven Factor - Caches over 5 ft ie. a tobey/skaven factor 1.5 places the cache around 7-8 ft off the ground.
Happy Dance - Calibrating the Garmin compass.

I had a question about the 'T' score but it was starting to get away from the original topic so I will include HPV for human powered vehicle.
I was wondering today about the 'T' score. I had to reach for something that was not high but required quite long arms. I am about 5 10 so I figured the cache might be greater than 1T but that had nothing to do with height.

Might I suggest "
" to be added to the Lingo? Definition could read something like "a gaggle of cachers at a Geo-klatch belting out a tune with vigor"? Thoughts?

kildonan61 found Teeny Tiny Tim (Traditional Cache) at 4/30/2008
Log Date: 4/30/2008
I'm a real packrat when it comes to waypoints in my GPSr. Never know when I'm going to get that dreaded "Waypoint Memory Full" beep when downloading coordinates. So I read Kabs' log for this one and thought "Bonus! I should be able to find this one without GPS!"...
...But the real reason I wanted to find this one is that I wanted to see a nanomail ball in person. Found the cache, signed my
nano name
(k61) and managed to pick up and replace the nanomail ball without inhaling it. TFTC
I really like that - our
nano name
is 1Q4J. We sign this in nanos
) and micros so the cache owner doesn't have to replace as often... In the online log it could be TNLN SONN. Took nothing, left nothing, signed our nano name. Any thoughts?[/b]

How about "Mr. Loggy"?
It's an offshoot of the Mr. Reachy lexicon. I recently used a 4" x 6ft log to help me cross some wet swampy areas at MW4. It was while I was carrying the log with me that I gave my helper the name, Mr. Loggy.

Dallas fans are placing the blame squarely on Tony Romo's shoulders for last night's season-ending loss to Washington, but that's not really fair. As our friend Pat points out, Romo closed out the season with 17 touchdowns and only three interceptions. Of course, one of those came at an inopportune moment—one that left this thoughtful fan smiling with thoughts of the better times Mr. Romo delivered.

text: Peter Breslow An American Rock Musician Teaches Guitar To Kabul's Street Kids By Peter Breslow • Nov 15, 2017 On a sunny, late-September afternoon in the garden of a guesthouse in Kabul, just beyond the armed guard at the iron gate, a couple of girls are tuning up for guitar practice. All headscarves and concentration, they stretch tentative fingers along the strings. Their teacher, a 56-year-old musician from Los Angeles named Lanny Cordola, sports own head covering, a green doo-rag holding in check a graying ponytail that drifts down the middle of his back. The Beast Born Of Snow: What It Feels Like In The Jaws Of An Avalanche By Peter Breslow • Jul 3, 2016 It is April Fools Day 2011 and Jimmy Chin, the renowned adventure photographer and filmmaker, is shooting a couple of professional snowboarders in the Teton Range in Wyoming. This is one of the first really warm days of the spring season and so there is a lot of action in the snowpack. It is the kind of day where the risk of avalanche is high enough that everyone has their antennae up. But all three men are expert mountaineers who know how to read the conditions. Postcard From Freetown: On The Beach, Life — And Dreams — Go On By Peter Breslow • Oct 12, 2014 Sometimes you can tell a lot about a country just by walking its beaches. That's what I did on my last day in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, where I was on assignment covering the Ebola epidemic. Standing at water's edge, facing the sea. The smooth blue rollers come splashing in, steady, hypnotic — like oceans anywhere in the world. Afghan Female Cyclists: Breaking Away, And Breaking Taboos By Peter Breslow • May 2, 2014 On a recent day, just west of Kabul — where the city's sooty sky gives way to fresher air — Abdul Sadiq coaches four young members of the Afghan National Cycling Federation. They're working on their riding technique while dodging the free-form traffic. "The road is very narrow. Make sure you don't get into an accident, as you can see the cars are coming," the former competitive cyclist tells them, amid zooming vehicles and honking horns.

Exciting internships for U.C. students studying in the Philippines.
Preservation Efforts in the PhilippinesUC students work outside the classroom with NGOs
"It was so cold," exclaimed Armasabille Ermita, an EAP Philippines student from UC Davis, on her return to Manila after a five-day outing in November to the northern Philippines. Arma and Flip Ziofelle "Cheeky" Calumpong of UC Berkeley had negotiated the time off from their Metro Manila based internships to visit to the cooler northern communities of Banawe, Sagada, and Batade, where 3,000-year-old rice terraces are carved into mountainsides of the Cordillera Range. Citizens groups and non-governmental organizations are leading efforts to preserve the ancient terraces and to restore those that have eroded. Banawe and Sagada are about a 10-hour bus ride from Metro Manila and Batade is an additional 3-hour hike from Banawe, but after seven months of sweltering Manila heat, the trip was a welcome change.
Cheeky is interning in Manila with the Action for Economic Reform, an economic policy research and advocacy center. Arma interns as a lab technician and youth counselor with the Remedios Aids Foundation.
Most EAP-Philippines students conclude their program with a 10-week internship. Internship options are extremely varied and have included work in health clinics, schools, museums, media, private businesses, sports clubs, policy research and advocacy groups, environmental organizations, and legal aid societies working with upland or "tribal" Filipinos. Students often intern with Manila-based groups, but some have worked outside the city. Typically, interns work under the supervision of staffers from the host organization who evaluate their work along with the EAP Study Center Director or a host university faculty member.
In 2000, Glenda Macaraeg, a UC San Diego student, taught English in a school for refugees from the Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption. "The school enabled refugees to order their lives and even recover some hope," Glenda said. Not only did she have the chance to teach English, but she says her Tagalog language skills "really took off."
Another former EAP student, Cristina Carpio (UC Santa Cruz), worked with a nongovernmental organization providing legal assistance to tribal Filipinos, the nation's most marginalized population. "I know that laws can and do oppress the very people that they are supposed to protect and govern, but I also learned that laws can be utilized and changed so that they can work for peoples," Cristina said.
A few EAP students use their internship period to conduct independent research. Architecture student Michael Gonzales (UC Riverside) is wrapping up his year by studying traditional housing in the Cordillera Mountains of the northern Philippines. He will complete his project by presenting a simple design for a community center in an urban poor resettlement area.
Although knowledge of Tagalog is a plus, most EAP-Philippines internships do not require fluency in the language. The Philippine Study Center works closely with students to develop the best possible "fit" in internships.

CHARLOTTE—When Andrew Wiggins elevates, everyone watches. Everything the best high school basketball player in North America does while he's above the rim is breathtaking, whether it's snagging a rebound or blocking a shot or throwing down his next jaw-dropping dunk.
Wiggins, a 6-8 high-flyer for Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, has so many dunks where his chin clears the rim that these YouTube-worthy moments have become commonplace.
"I tell him his dunks don't impress me anymore," Xavier Rathan-Mayes, his teammate and friend since grade school, says with a laugh. "I need to see him make some moves, some pro moves. That's the only thing that's going to impress me."
Rathan-Mayes, a 6-4 guard who has signed with Florida State, was pretty much alone in that opinion this weekend, during Huntington Prep's two-game stint at the 12-team Charlotte Hoops Challenge.
"One thing Andrew has to understand is, every person that paid $12 to get in was here to see him, and they expect a show," Huntington coach Rob Fulford said. "That first play, they kind of got one."
Less than a minute into the Express' first game, in front of about 1,500 fans at Waddell Language Academy on Friday afternoon against Quality Education (Winston-Salem, N.C.), Wiggins sealed off his man under the basket, caught an inbounds pass and, with one step, rose up and threw down a dunk with a ferocity that felt abruptly out of character for an 18-year-old kid with an easy smile and smooth style.
The crowd seemed stunned, as much as anything, by this transcendent moment of next-level athleticism from Wiggins, whose father was a Florida State basketball player and whose mother was a Canadian Olympic medalist.
"I know that's what they want to see," Wiggins said, "dunks and crossovers, and I always try to give them what they want."
Of course, Wiggins isn't the clear No. 1 prep player in the country—he grew up outside Toronto but chose Huntington Prep as the next stage in his basketball development—just because he can dunk the basketball. His jump shot has developed from streaky to consistently reliable. His passing ability is overshadowed by his more showy talents. He can be a monster on the boards. He's a smart player born with basketball instincts.
Even with all his individual ability, he still clearly is a team-first player. During his two games in Charlotte, Wiggins and his teammates faced zone defenses for all but a few minutes. He didn't try to force shots to pad his stats; instead, he chose his moments carefully. His goal for this season is to stay undefeated and claim the mythical national championship. Huntington Prep is the No. 1 team in the nation, according to USA Today.
While focused on that goal, he has a decision to make. Well, another decision to make. At the end of October, Wiggins chose to reclassify from the Class of 2014 to the Class of 2013, which means that his college choice became slightly more urgent.
"I can't really block that out," he says with a smile. "It's college, and that will be a big thing for me."
It'll be big for wherever he winds up, too. Everyone is eagerly awaiting his decision, which won't come until sometime in 2013. Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton was at the Charlotte Hoops Challenge on Friday, as were a couple of boisterous North Carolina fans who cheered when Wiggins walked onto the floor for warmups, pointing to their Tar Heels shirts. There were several Kentucky fans there, too, letting Wiggins know their preference.
There are only a handful of schools still in contention.
"From any indication Andrew has given us, he's going to take one (official visit) to Florida State, North Carolina, Kentucky and Kansas," Fulford says. "Those are the four right now that he's kind of made a point to say that's where he wants to visit. Whether that happens or not, and when, who knows?"
Logistics are an issue.
"He wants to start trying to get visits plugged in when he can, but our schedule is brutal," Fulford says. "We just don't have many weekends open. I think he's going to try and do one to Florida State in early December and he's going to plug in others."
Fulford isn't exaggerating. Huntington Prep's schedule is better described by states visited than schools played against. The Express opened with games in West Virginia and Kentucky before heading to North Carolina for two at the Charlotte Hoops Challenge.
Next up: games in Kentucky, then Ohio, then Maryland, then back to Kentucky and then south to Florida to finish out the 2012 portion of the schedule. In January, they play in West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio (two separate trips to the Buckeye state) and Massachusetts. In February, they play in West Virginia, New Jersey, Ontario and Florida.
And just about every game Wiggins and his teammates—almost all of whom are future Division I standouts themselves—play has a special name. Their schedule includes stops at the Team Takeover Tournament, the City of Palms Classic, the Cancer Research Classic, the MLK Round Ball Classic, the Dunk 4 Diabetes Shootout and the Flyin' to the Hoop Invitational, just to name a few.
— Andrew Wiggins isn't Huntington Prep's only college-bound star
Having elite athletes as parents is nice when navigating a schedule like that, and when dealing with the pressures that come with all the attention.
"They've been there," Wiggins says. "They're pro athletes, they've been there, done that sort of thing, so if I need advice or anything, they give it to me. They've showed me what life is really about."
As much as anything right now, Wiggins is working on his game. He doesn't turn 18 until February, and while some polish is starting to develop—especially with his jump shot and passing skills—he's still a work in progress.
"His finished product," Rathan-Mayes says, "is going to be really special."

Wages and Tax Data for FY 2010 from the IRS and Social Security
|NOTE: FY 2010 is that last year when data from both
the IRS and the Social Security Administration was made available.
Social Security data for 2011 will
be available in mid October 2012.
During the fiscal year 2010 the IRS processed 230 million tax returns, including 142.8 million individual income tax returns, 2.4 million corporate returns and 8 million Partnerships and S corporations returns.
The IRS reports a total adjusted gross income of $8.04 trillion of which $5.9 trillion was in ordinary wages and salaries.
For 2010 the Social Security Administration reports compensation subject to payroll taxes (FICA/Social Security and Medicare) on wages for an AGI of $5,799,538,431,420 and a net compensation of $6,009,831,055,912.
* To be reconciled: The U.S. CENSUS reports 142,823,000 individual tax filers, the Social Security Administration reports 150,398,715 wage earners, and the IRS reports 142,856,282 tax individual tax returns.
First Tax Loophole: Currently* only "regular wages and base salaries" are taxed as payroll for FICA taxes. The top 1% does not pay the 6.20% tax for Social Security or the 1.45% tax for Medicare (FICA) on all earnings from non-business interest income, dividends, annuities, royalties, rents, capital gains on property, gains derived from the disposition of a partnership or S corporation, the sale of stocks, securities, and other financial instruments (such as a spots, forwards, futures contracts, stock options, carried interest and notional principal contracts - debt instruments or similar instruments, or combination or series of financial instruments, capitals gains on the sale of a vacation or a second homes, and gains accrued through SWAG investments (silver, wine, art, and gold).
* This may change. Unless it is struck down by the Supreme Court, starting on or after January 1, 2013, the 2010 Health Care Bill (aka ObamaCare®) will impose Medicare taxes on, not just "regular wages and salaries", but on the top one percent's formerly exempted "investment income". But it will only be taxed if it exceeds $250,000 (for joint filers) or $200,000 (for non-married filers). So most ordinary taxpayers wouldn't be affected at all.
Second Tax Loophole - The Social Security Cap: Only wages and base salaries are taxed for Social Security, but only up to $106,000 for regular income in 2010 (it's currently capped at $110,000). There should be no "cap", as lower income wage earners pay this tax on 100% of their wages, whereas the highest income earners only pay a tiny fraction. We have to get congress to remove the $110,000 "cap" for Social Security taxes so that EVERYONE has to pay the 6.20% tax on 100% of their income. More here: The Social Security and Medicare Loophole for the Top 1%
Third Tax Loophole: variable prepaid forward contracts, carried interest (e.g. Mitt Romney, etc.), capital gains (all the multi-billionaires on the Forbes 400 List and those not on that list), and qualified dividends are all taxed at 15% or less, rather than at the statutory tax rate on regular income (the highest marginal bracket being 35%).
It's worth noting that the tax rate on capital gains, now at 15%, are currently historically low, not since 1921 when the preferential treatment of capital gains was first introduced at 12.5%. This tax was once much higher than it is today. Essentially, with Obama's "Buffett Rule", this will raise capital gains tax rate from 15% to 30% for those who earn $1 million or more a year, which only affects about 93,725 of the highest "wage" earners --- and which is well below the historical high -- and 5% less than the current top marginal rate of 35%.
There are many more loopholes that the top 1% uses (e.g. gifts and generation-skipping inheritance taxes, etc.), and they all can be found in the 71,864 pages of the U.S. Tax Code. Most of us (the 99%) use a 100-page instruction booklet and a 1-page 1040-EZ form.
If the tax code is complicated (as are government regulations) the top 1% only has themselves to blame for using an army of lawyers to game the system (Two related links below).
In the chart below * denotes income exempted from Social Security and Medicare taxes. Unemployment compensation, Social Security benefits (under $25,000), pensions,401ks, and IRAs are taxed as regular wages for federal income tax only (no FICA). "Per" means according to gross adjusted income in one's corresponding marginal tax brackets, less exemptions and deductions.
* What part of $8.06 trillion in total reported income in 2010 was not taxed as "ordinary wages" (according to the progressive statuary tax brackets, but only taxed at 15% for capital gains)? How much was exempted from all Social Security and Medicare taxes? How much wasn't reported due to tax evasion? One report says $385 billion lost to tax evasion (our taxes are automatically deducted from our paychecks...we don't evade taxes, but high incomer earners such as Mitt Romney has off-shore bank accounts).
Historical Wages from 2006 to 2009 as Reported to Social Security
(Social Security data for 2011 will be available in mid October 2012.)
2010 - Compensation subject to Federal income taxes
* Taxable unemployment compensation was up 44 percent in 2010. That increase was associated with the expiration in 2010 of taxpayers' ability to omit the first $2,400 of unemployment compensation from income. For 2010, 15.1 million returns (a 32.2-percent increase from 2009) reported a total of $121.1 billion in taxable unemployment compensation. (Editor's Note: "I know, I paid tax on mine!")
* Trivia: More than 116 million returns were filed electronically in FY 2010.
* Total tax-exempt organizations (like the Tea Party and other 501c) and nonexempt charitable trusts: 1,789,554

From the U.S. Soccer Communications Center:
Two Late Goals by Alex Morgan Lead U.S. Women's National Team
• Morgan Tallies 88th-Minute Goal and Stoppage-Time Winner
FRISCO, Texas (Feb. 11, 2012) - U.S. forward Alex Morgan tallied the tying and game-winning goals in the closing minutes as the U.S. Women's National Team came from behind to defeat New Zealand 2-1 in front of a sellout crowd of 25,677 at FC Dallas Stadium.
Just minutes from losing a hard-fought match in which New Zealand proved to be an opponent with big heart and gritty intensity, the USA gave the home fans plenty to cheer about in a wild and dramatic final few minutes.
The U.S. had given up a goal on a poor back pass in the first few minutes of the second half - which proved to be the Kiwis only shot on goal in the game - and then spent the remainder of the match desperately pushing for an equalizer. In the 88th minute, second half substitution Megan Rapinoe crossed the ball from the right side and found Morgan at the far post. Morgan headed the ball down to the ground and her shot hit the inside of the left post and spun up into the goal. New Zealand goalkeeper Jenny Bindon grabbed the ball, but she was standing inside her goal, and the assistant referee did not hesitate to raise her flag, signaling that the ball had in fact crossed over the line.
With the momentum in their favor, the U.S. pushed for the game-winner and in the third minute of stoppage time, Morgan found the net once again on a header for her 16th career goal. With the final whistle just second from blowing, Rachel Buehler crossed from the left wing and Abby Wambach flicked the ball up in the air. Morgan jumped over a defender to win the header near the left post, sending her bouncing shot back off the right post with the perfect carom and into the net. Morgan was named But Light Woman of the Match with her two late tallies that are believed to be the latest goals scored by one player in a U.S. WNT game.
"It wasn't meant to be like that; I had other expectations in the first half, but I'll take the result any day," said U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage. "We made it really, really exciting. As Alex Morgan said after the game, 'there's something to be said about this team. We refuse to lose.' We always want to win. We did some things tactically that I was really happy about - playing a 3-4-3 the last 12-14 minutes going for a goal. It's a great attitude."
The U.S. improved to 6-0-0 on the year and 8-1-0 against New Zealand. The USA has won its past eight matches against the Ferns.
The late-game heroics from Morgan offset the efforts of a determined New Zealand side that did not back down after gaining the lead early in the 49 th minute. The Kiwis goal came off an ill-advised back pass from left back Kelley O'Hara, who looped a long ball back into the U.S. penalty area that second half substitute goalkeeper Nicole Barnhart could not get to before forward Hannah Wilkinson raced in to lift a shot over the onrushing 'keeper and into the net. Barnhart, who was a planned substitution for Hope Solo to open the second half, saw her first action of 2012 and earned her 42nd career cap.
Solo extended her scoreless streak this year to 495 minutes but did not have to record a save in her 45 minutes of work.
The goal was the first goal allowed by the USA this year after outscoring its opponents 38-0 in five matches to win 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying and earn a berth for the 2012 London Olympics.
In the 67th minute, Rapinoe got her head on a Lauren Cheney corner kick from the right side and put it on frame, but Bindon safely covered up the attempt and did not allow a rebound as Buehler crashed the goal.
The Ferns escaped that early threat and found their first strong scoring opportunity in the 12th minute as the speedy Wilkinson got behind the USA's pushed-up back line. U.S. defenders Buehler and Christie Rampone scrambled back, and just before they could get in Wilkinson's path, she took a shot that went over Solo's glove and also rose over the crossbar.
Next up for the U.S. WNT is the 2012 Algarve Cup in Portugal. The U.S. opens group play against Denmark on Feb. 29 at Municipal Stadium in Lagos, Portugal (12 p.m. kickoff).
Additional Match Notes:
• This is the first time the U.S. WNT has won a match in which it trailed in the 80th minute or later. The previous standard came during a 3-2 win against Mexico in Costa Rica during the qualifying tournament for the 2004 Olympics. The USA fell behind Mexico 2-0 in the first 15 minutes, Lindsay Tarpley pulled a goal back just before halftime, tied the match in the 79th minute on a goal from Abby Wambach and won the game with an 84th minute goal from Julie Foudy.

Portage Park and South Lawndale each have recorded two homicides so far this year, a RedEye analysis of preliminary police data found.
In Portage Park, a 21-year-old man was shot to death Friday in the 3900 block of North Central Avenue, police said. Portage Park logged four homicides last year, according to RedEye data.
In South Lawndale, a 31-year-old man was fatally shot Sunday in the 4100 block of West 30th Street, officials said. South Lawndale recorded 13 homicides last year, RedEye determined.
Meanwhile, a 29-year-old woman was shot to death Friday on the Lake Shore Drive ramp to the Stevenson Expressway, police said.
January ended last week with 43 homicides, up from 40 homicides, RedEye determined.
Police had initially said a woman was beaten to death Jan. 27 in Auburn Gresham but the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the woman died of natural causes.
Three homicides have been logged so far this month. Twenty-nine homicides were recorded in February 2012, according to RedEye data.

Exploring The GRAMMYs' Dance/Electronica Field Nominees
You've seen the list of nominees, now take a closer look at the artists nominated in the Dance/Electronica Field for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
Sometimes it can be hard to stay in your seat when the music gets kicking, and for the artists represented in the Dance/Electronica Field, movement is precisely the intended and encouraged response to the music they create. The technologically cutting-edge sounds that have kept clubs thumping and people moving this past year are represented here in the two categories comprising the field. And in a testament to the genre's growing global impact, current nominees Deadmau5 and David Guetta will join with Chris Brown, Foo Fighters and Lil Wayne for the first dance/electronica performance in GRAMMY history at the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
Best Dance Recording
It's not surprising to find Los Angeles-born Skrillex (Sonny Moore) nominated here for the title track to Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites. Best Dance Recording is one of his five nominations, including a nod for the prestigious Best New Artist award. Stockholm native Robyn returns with "Call Your Girlfriend," her second consecutive nomination in this category following "Dancing On My Own" last year. She's part of a surprisingly strong showing from Sweden this year, as her fellow countrymen in Swedish House Mafia — DJs/producers Steve Angello Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso — are first-time nominees in the category, represented by "Save The World." There's also Stockholm-born producer Avicii (Tim Berg), who is nominated for his production and mixing work alongside French producer David Guetta for "Sunshine." Deadmau5 (Joel Zimmerman) is nominated for the first time in this category for his collaboration with Greta Svabo Bech on "Raise Your Weapon." In keeping with the field's international tilt, Deadmau5 is one of two Canadian talents recognized here. The other is A-Trak from Duck Sauce, a duo rounded out by American DJ Armand Van Helden. They're first-time nominees with their undeniably danceable tribute to a decidedly nonelectronica artist, "Barbra Streisand."
Best Dance/Electronica Album
Four Best Dance Recording nominees reprise their nods here. Skrillex's full-length effort has been a mainstay of the dubstep movement. The eclectic album combines elements such as piano embellishments, super-charged riffs, thumping bass lines, and hypnotic beats. A two-time GRAMMY winner, Guetta's double album, Nothing But The Beat, landed in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200, spurred by strong collaborations with artists such as fellow nominees Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj. Robyn's completion of her Body Talk trilogy has her in the running. The album combines songs featured from Body Talk, Pt. 1 and Body Talk, Pt. 2, in addition to new songs. Deadmau5 effectively combined electro-house, dubstep and trance sounds on 4X4=12. He has one prior GRAMMY nomination for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical — a category he is nominated for this year, to go along with his two nods in this field. Cut/Copy are first-time GRAMMY nominees for their third full-length album, Zonoscope. The Australian electronic band consists of vocalist Dan Whitford, bassist/guitarist Tim Hoey and drummer Mitchell Scott.
Who will take home the awards in the Dance/Electronica Field? Tune in to the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards on Feb. 12, taking place at Staples Center in Los Angeles and airing live on CBS from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

I can't help but feel good for Jeff Francoeur to escape this asylum for a winning place. I liked Francoeur's attitude, his hustle and the life he brought to the clubhouse. I do believe Jerry Manuel underestimated Francoeur's importance and should have done better by him when Carlos Beltran returned. He basically turned his back on him, which didn't go over well in that fragile clubhouse.
It was obvious Francoeur wasn't in the Mets' plans for 2011 and beyond, even though their outfield situation with Beltran isn't as settled as it could be. So, to cut him loose now and send him to a team with a chance to win is doing him a solid.
It would be good if he flourished in a winning situation rather than go down with a sinking ship. I'll bet there are more than a few Mets who'd like to be going with him.

Flowers often inspire my colour palettes too, but I was looking at my orchids earlier and thinking that although beautiful, their particular combination of burgundy, shocking pink and green really wouldn't make a sweater! Then I wondered if it would make a quilt ... if only I had the time to devote to finding out :D

Hi Helen,
Are you able to tell me what brand of yarn you use?? I live in the US, and can't find anything that compares to the colors you use. I stopped in at a yarn shop here - the clerk wondered if maybe it's Rowan? Could you also tell me what fiber it is? Wool? Cotton? Acrylic?
Thanks so much. LOVE your blog!!

Ted Nugent Explodes in Profane Rant on CBS News
Ted Nugent responded to the notion that he's not a moderate during an interview on 'CBS This Morning' by, well, flipping out a bit, offering — in off-color language — to perform sexual acts on both the male reporter and a nearby female producer if they could find someone who cares more about people and the planet than he does.
It all happened in the middle of an otherwise very calm interview focusing on the fallout from Nugent's recent anti-President Obama statements, which, as reported, included a very friendly meeting with the Secret Service. When reporter Jeff Glor asked if Nugent understood why people didn't consider him a moderate, the guitarist began getting extremely worked up, talking about his admirable record of charity work, before concluding:
"I'm an extremely loving and passionate man, and people who investigate me honestly, without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that I'm a damned nice guy … and if you can find a screening process more powerful than that, I'll suck your d–k," then turning to an off-camera female producer and adding, "Or I'll f–k you, how's that sound?"
Glor was quick to point out, as you can see during the full version of the story, that Nugent promptly and fully apologized to both CBS employees after the interview. It was also revealed that the guitar legend made a trip to the emergency room to deal with a painful case of kidney stones a short while after the interview, which certainly would put us in a bad mood.

In the world of Windows Phone one it's easy to forget that companies besides Nokia make devices. They tend to dominate the airwaves, but other companies do make some solid devices out there running Windows Phone. One of those devices is the Samsung ATIV S. That with a little bit of push from Samsung could have been so much more. If you happen to be holding one of those devices unlocked and free of carrier branding you might be able to get the GDR2 update for it right now.
Our pals over in Germany at WPArea.de have been receiving tips and screenshots showing off the Samsung ATIV S humming along at OS version 8.0.10327.77 – which as you remember is GDR2.
What can these folks look forward to in it? You'll be getting some small improvements in usability and performance within the Xbox Music app. FM radio is now supported as long as you plug in a pair of headphones. Data Sense is included. Skype and other VoIP apps (like Lync) have improved stability and performance. Improved HTML5 compatibility in Internet Explorer. You can select your favorite lens to automatically open when you press the physical camera button. IBM Notes Traveler and Sina Weibo (China), CalDAV and CardDAV support.
Oddly, the folks over in Deutschland aren't seeing FM Radio or Data Sense show up in their update to GDR2.
Have an unlocked/unbranded Samsung ATIV S? Check to see if you have an update and let us know below!
Thanks for the tip Enis!
