Dexamethasone suppression test measures the response of the
Alternative Names
DST; ACTH suppression test; Cortisol suppression test
How the test is performed
During this test, you will receive dexamethasone, and the health care provider will measure your cortisol levels.
There are two different types of dexamethasone suppression tests: the low-dose test and the high-dose test. Each type can either be done in an overnight or standard (3-day) way.
Low-dose overnight method — you will get 1 mg of dexamethasone at 11 p.m., and a health care provider will draw your blood at 8 a.m. for a
cortisol measurement.
Standard low-dose method — urine is collected over 3 days (stored in 24-hour collection containers) to measure cortisol. On day 2, you will get a low dose (0.5 mg) of dexamethasone by mouth every 6 hours for 48 hours.
High-dose overnight method — the health care provider will measure your cortisol on the morning of the test. Then you will receive 8 mg of dexamethasone at 11 p.m. Your blood is drawn at 8 a.m. for a cortisol measurement.
Standard high-dose test — urine is collected over 3 days (stored in 24-hour collection containers) for measurement of cortisol. On day 2, you will receive a high dose (2 mg) of dexamethasone by mouth every 6 hours for 48 hours.
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see:
How to prepare for the test
The health care provider may advise you to stop taking drugs that may affect the test. Drugs that can affect test results include:
Oral birth control (contraceptives)
How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performed
This test is performed when the health care provider suspects that your body is producing too much cortisol. It is done to help diagnose Cushing syndrome and identify the cause.
The low-dose test can help tell whether your body is producing too much cortisol. The high-dose test can help determine whether the problem is in the pituitary gland (
The level of cortisol in the blood normally regulates the release of ACTH from the pituitary gland. As blood cortisol levels increase, ACTH release decreases. As cortisol levels decrease, ACTH increases.
Dexamethasone is a human-made (synthetic) steroid that is similar to cortisol. It reduces ACTH release in normal people. Therefore, taking dexamethasone should reduce ACTH levels and lead to decreased cortisol levels.
If your pituitary gland produces too much ACTH, you will have an abnormal response to the low-dose test, but you can have a normal response to the high-dose test.
Normal Values
Cortisol levels should decrease after you receive dexamethasone.
Low dose:
Overnight: 8 a.m. plasma cortisol < 1.8 mcg/dl
Standard: Urinary free cortisol on day 3 < 10 mcg/day
High dose:
Overnight: > 50% reduction in plasma cortisol
Standard: > 90% reduction in urinary free cortisol
The examples above are common measurements for results for these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens.Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
An abnormal response to the low-dose test may mean that you have abnormal release of cortisol (
Adrenal tumor that produces cortisol
Pituitary tumor that produces ACTH
Tumor in the body that produces ACTH
The high-dose test can help tell a pituitary cause (Cushing's disease) from other causes. An ACTH blood test may also help identify the cause of high cortisol.
Abnormal results vary based on the condition causing the problem.
Cushing syndrome caused by an adrenal tumor:
- Low-dose test: no change
- ACTH level: low
- In most cases, the high-dose test is not needed
Cushing syndrome related to an ectopic ACTH-producing tumor:
- Low-dose test: no change
- ACTH level: high
- High-dose test: no change
Cushing syndrome caused by a pituitary tumor (Cushing's disease)
Low-dose test: no change
High-dose test: normal suppression (however, some do not suppress, and another test is needed)
What the risks are
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

My fingers are sore from playing the cajon today at our worship service, but it's worth it. =)
Pain may cause happiness.
Even though having sore fingers are a bit painful, it makes me happy knowing that this pain was brought by serving the Lord through music.
Today, at our ministry's PWA (Post-Worship Activity), we talked about how the cross was a sign of pain, suffering, punishment, and disgrace years ago. Through Christ, that meaning changed. Now, the cross is a symbol of the Christian faith, hope, love, discipline, patience. Through Christ's suffering, we are now free and can have a happier life, with God of course.
Serving God, you'll go through a lot of challenges. These challenges are very difficult and they only become more and more difficult everytime you surpass one. It's God's way of molding us. These challenges may often cause pain and suffering and, in the end, all of it is nothing compared to the joy or reward after we overcome those challenges.
Instead of running away from the pain and/or letting it eat you up inside, we should embrace it, just like Jesus did when He held that cross. He embraced it, accepted it, and understood why it had to happen.
These sore fingers are not the only pains in my life right now. I'm accepting every pain little by little, trying to understand why it had to happen, what good thing can I get or learn from all of it, and use it to make myself better.
So carry your cross, own it, embrace it, learn from it. I'm sure the pain is all worth it in the end. =)

Brave Advocacy
By Matt Hawkins
March 24, 2014
Bradley industrial engineering major Sarah Handler '16 used her voice to advocate on the world's stage at the recent 58th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Handler spent two weeks in New York City leading a team of young adults who advocated for women's access to education and STEM opportunities.
"I hoped to provide a voice for youth in a field and environment typically dominated by middle-aged diplomats," she said. "Although half of the world's population is under 25, we young people are often neglected and silenced on the international policy making stage."
Handler led a team of 20 delegates from youth advocacy nonprofit SustainUS. The team met with a range of youth and government leaders, including Peggy Kerry, the U.S. Mission's non-government organization liaison and sister of Secretary of State John Kerry.
Delegates collaborated to draft a document that outlined a range of women's equality matters. In addition to affirming previous action items on social, political, economic and civil rights issues, this year's outcomes focused on education and training in STEM fields.
Though largely symbolic on the world's stage, the document provided a starting point for conversations through a list of best practices.
"Simply because the outcome document calls for an end to gender discrimination doesn't cause the world to suddenly become equal, but you can form policy that aligns with changing cultural beliefs and provide a small policy push toward equality," Handler said. "The outcome document will have no true impact in promoting gender equality unless it is supported by government and NGO initiatives that address the pervasive cultural and institutional sources of gender inequality."
Because many of the sessions were with career diplomats who lacked STEM backgrounds, Handler's academic interests enabled her to directly address issues.
"My experience was a perfect blend of my disciplines," she said. "My industrial engineering major gave me the knowledge and background to be able to provide a true perspective on girls in STEM and my political science minor fuels my fascination with the policy that will shape the integration of girls in STEM."
She also was a delegate to the 57th UN Commission on the Status of Women last year after a competitive selection process managed by the SustainUS Agents of Change program. The theme of the 57th Commission was the elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls.

Millennial Expert: GOP Healthcare Bill Would Cause Millions to Lose Coverage
Both the Republican House and Senate versions of healthcare reform to replace and repeal Obamacare include plans to phase out the Medicaid expansion and cap federal spending on the program. According to projections from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, 15 million will lose their Medicaid coverage as a result. Medicaid serves low income families and covers populations from newborn babies and children with special needs to elderly residents in nursing homes. However, one population that may be flying under the radar is millennials, who could be disproportionally impacted by this proposal. Jen Mishory is the Executive Director and Co-Founder of Young Invincibles, a group that began during the healthcare debates in 2009 and is focused on economic millennial issues. She meets with Soledad O'Brien to talk about how the Affordable Care Act and the GOP proposals impact millennials.

If you haven't already guessed I have a fondness for expatriate blogs--my favorites are listed at the very bottom of this page under the "Blogs I Love" link. I can't travel much right now and reading about their lives abroad is the next best thing to going on safari or cruising the Loire.
The very first expat blog I ever read was Planet Nomad and Elizabeth's amazing life coupled with her eloquent writing guaranteed that I read her riveting posts word for word. As a brief introduction Elizabeth and her husband Donn are parents to three children: Elliot, age 12 and twins Abel and Ilsa, ages 10. Donn got a job in Noukchott, Mauritania (yes, go Google it so you'll have a point of reference) in Africa back in 2001 and their family basically lived there for seven years until last sumer when they returned to the United States for a year before heading back to The Dark Continent.
I think the reason I like Planet Nomad so much is that it entertains, teaches and shares--three things a successful blog has to do, in that order. I connect with her posts and feel that not only am I learning something fascinating but her writing is personal and honest enough that I trust her interpretation of the world she's experiencing.
The photographs she posts are amazing--Donn is a photographer (you can read about a showing he had at the national museum in her post "The Road Not Taken") and my only complaint is that I wish she posted more photos. Her posts read like National Geographic but with personality and softness. Some of my favorites are:
Adventures in Eating
Adventures in Eating Part 2
Beauty; NOT Just in the Eye of the Beholder Anymore
Her Brother's First Wife
Love Is In the Air
But before I spend all my time gushing over her blog here are a few questions I put to Elizabeth recently:
If you could pick somewhere else to live and experience like you did Nouakchott where would it be?
This one is easy—Rabat, Morocco. We're hoping to move there in July. I'm really excited because Rabat is much more modern and developed than Nouakchott is so I'll enjoy having access to shops and things while at the same time learning and experiencing a beautiful and ancient culture.
If you had a dream job what would it be?
I would like someone to pay me money to lie on the couch and read books. Once, for a while, I tried to become a literary agent which I realized would entail just that. I actually worked as an assistant for a couple of months but what I was given to read was such pap that I gave up. Also the actual agent was even flakier than I was which was really saying something considering my organizational level at the time.
What do you miss most about Africa?
The people. I miss my friends. I don't miss the weather—unlike most Oregonians and even my own husband I love the rain.
What did you miss most about the United States when you were abroad?
The people, again. Also esoteric things like being so comfortable in a culture that I pick up on unspoken clues and know how to communicate subtly. And I miss the rain and the green and the flowers.
What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten?
Probably camel's hump. It was what you'd expect—pure lard. I was served a plate of meat and vegetables and there were these white lumps in it that I thought were potatoes. They weren't. I nibbled a corner and then put it back, which is very rude, but sometimes you just don't care. Afterwards there was a coating of grease around my mouth that I couldn't get rid of for hours.
What's the most adventurous thing you've ever done?
Probably moving to Mauritania. I'm really not that adventurous—I have never sky-dived, or bungee-jumped or done extreme sports. But I must admit I felt rather nervous when we got on that plane and moved to Africa. Donn always wanted to go live in a tent in the desert for a year, which I would view as adventurous, but I was not willing to leave my computer or my flush toilet for longer than a month at a time. Also, homeschooling in the desert? I don't think so.
[A month?? You've got to be kidding!]
What's the biggest misconception Americans have about Africa?
Hmmm . . . well, not to put too fine a point on it, I am often surprised at how little Americans know about the continent of Africa. Some people apparently think of that huge continent as just one country when in actuality there are 53 countries with very different languages, cultures and climates. (I've only seen a tiny part of it myself and am in no way an expert on it) I think that Americans think all of Africa is undeveloped, and desperately poor. But Nairobi, Kenya; Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire; Cairo, Egypt; or Rabat, Morocco are very modern cities. I notice that people tend to be surprised both ways, they expect Africa to be less developed than it often is and yet really don't understand that you can't get everything there that you can get here. It's a funny mix.
Thanks so much Elizabeth for judging the contest this month—good luck to you and your family in their upcoming adventures.

- Shalee said...
Oh, I read Elizabeth too. There's something so beautiful about her view and her words that makes me want to be her real life friend so that I can visit her in Africa one day.
And her pictures are gorgeous.

Bravo Michelle. Elizabeth is warm and funny and fascinating. I love her writing. She'll be a great judge.

camel hump. Maybe I don't want to travel as much as I think I do.
- My Ice Cream Diary said...
I also love reading blogs outside of the US. It is like taking a mini vacation everytime I read them.
This is fascinating. I will have to check out her blog.
- grace said...
I thought the camel was familiar! :-)
Sounds like a great adventure indeed. I will check out her blog right now!
- Jena said...
Thanks for introducing her to me. My family travels quite a bit--mostly India--and we love learning about new cultures. I'll have to check her blog out.
- Scribbit said...
One update--apparently Africans find it irritating or offensive to hear Africa called "The Dark Continent." I thought about taking out that reference to Conrad's famous writings but the I decided to let it stand. First, it's a legitimate literary allusion that fits. Second, it's not meant to be racist or offensive ("dark" refers to the mystery surrounding the area rather than the color of skin) and third, the vast majority of my readers would take it as it was intended rather than as an insult.
But I thought it was interesting and maybe you will too.
Hope that works.
- RunninL8 said...
Hey there from another Alaskan! I stumbled upon your site and plan to peruse further as time permits-I think we're headed outside instead of naptime today due to THIS RIDICULOUS UNRELENTING SNOW!!!
We'll make one last snowman(I HOPE).
Might as well make the best of it... OR GO APOPLECTIC.
Thanks for the very interesting post-can't wait to see the photography!
- Sonja said...
Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful person. I have enjoyed this interview so much and look forward to learning more about Elizabeth from her blog.
- tarable said...
I recently found this blog about a family living in France for a year. They're just doing it for the fun and culture, rather than altruistic reasons, but it's still interesting to me. http://www.stashaslife.blogspot.com/
BTW, I've never left a comment before but have been enjoying your blog for a month or two - it's great!

With all of the tragedy and anxiety of the past week, I thought I'd share a little cuteness with you. But before I do, I have to make a confession, and you have to promise not to judge. Here goes... I'm one of those crazy dog ladies who puts costumes on their dogs. And I have way too many of them. There. I said it. Somehow in my mind, costumes are not clothing, so I haven't crossed the line into the "Paris Hilton putting pink dresses on her dog" kind of crazy. Just the normal kind of "I just think my dog is the cutest thing ever" kind of crazy. Besides, since Sally is blind she can't see all of the dogs in the neighborhood laughing at her. Poor Sally...
OK, on to the cuteness. To introduce my class to the concept of voting and show them firsthand how elections work, I created a project for them which follow the whole process from start to finish. The critical issue that we tackled for this project was: What should Sally be for Halloween? Pretty important stuff indeed!
First, we read a book about all of the costume choices. The kids wrote about their favorites and explained why other people should vote for their choices. (Who says kindergartners can't do persuasive writing?) Then, we set up a polling place in the hallway outside of our classroom. We cast our votes first, then we invited the whole school to come down to read our campaign posters and cast their votes.
You can check out this cute Election Day Emergent Reader and Craftivity pack in my TPT store. I'll also send a free packet to the first few people who leave a comment telling me which costume you think Sally should wear on Halloween.

As a hockey fan for over 30 years, I am always intrigued numbers players wear.
This season, although it's been a shortened 48 game schedule coming out of the lockout, has seen its fair share of number changes for the 2012-13 edition of the Montreal Canadiens.
#8 Brandon Prust
Let's begin with the off-season acquisitions rookie GM Marc Bergevin made. Brandon Prust, chose #8. I number he's all too familiar with playing with that number in New York. In recent years Mike Komisarek wore it for 7 seasons (2002-2009).
#20 Colby Armstrong
Colby Armstrong was signed as UFA, having played with Toronto. Armstrong opted to go with the number20, the number he first used when he broke into the NHL back in 2007 with Pittsburgh. Armstrong also wore #20 in his second season with Atlanta Thrashers. James Wisniewski was the last Hab to wear #20.
#55 Francis Bouillon
In his second stint with the Canadiens, Bouillon wanted to wear the same number he's worn all his NHL career with both Montreal and Nashville; #51. However, #51 is worn by David Desharnais. So Bouillon went with #55. #55 was last worn briefly by Brent Sopel. Over the years, five players have worn #55. Longest serving was Igor Ulanov for parts of three seasons (1997-2000).
#17 Rene Bourque
Last season when Bourque was traded to Montreal, he wore #27. With Chris Campoli becoming a UFA, #17 became available, a number Bourque is familiar with when he was with the Calgary Flames prior to his trade to Montreal. The most famous Canadien ever to wear #17? Jean Beliveau who wore it briefly when he was called up to the big club the first time back in 1951. Beliveau was then given #4 when he made the club for good in 1953.
#27 Alex Galchenyuk
Canadiens Rookies are rarely given a say on what number they wear. And Alex Galchenyuk is no exception. Having played with #94 in Sarnia in Junior, the Canadiens gave Galchenyuk #27. Before Rene Bourque, Alex Kovalev, the most famous Russian ever to play with the Canadiens wore it from 2003-2009.
#73 à#11 Brendan Gallagher
Brendan Gallagher broke into the NHL with #73. But barely 30 games into the 2012-13 season, Gallagher switched to #11 as Michael Ryder was re-acquired in trade with Dallas. Ryder wore #73 previously and before Gallagher wore the number this season, Ryder was in club history the only player ever to wear #73. Gallagher was all too happy switching to #11, a number he wore in Junior with the Vancouver Giants. And for Habs fans, we would all like to forget who last wore #11; Scott Gomez wore it the last two seasons. Notable players to wear #11 were Ryan Walter (1982-91), Kirk Muller (1991-95), and Saku Koivu (1995-2009).
#73 Michael Ryder
Michael Ryder was re-acquired by the Canadiens this season in a trade with the Dallas Stars. Ryder has played with the Canadiens, Bruins and Stars and has always worn #73. So it was all too welcoming for Ryder when Gallagher offered the number to Ryder when he re-joined the Habs.
#42 Jarred Tinordi
Jarred Tinordi's dad Mark Tinordi played 12 seasons in the NHL. And for 11 of those seasons he wore #24. So the Canadiens wanting Jarred Tinrodi to make his own mark with the club inversed the numbers to #42. Domenic Moore was the last player to wear #42 prior to Tinordi.
#37 Gabriel Dumont
Gabriel Dumont was first called up during the 2011-12 season. And #37 is the only number he has worn with the Canadiens. #37 was first worn my Steve Penny back in 1983. And the first 6 players in club history to wear #37 were all goaltenders. Prior to Dumont, Niklas Sundstrum wore it for parts of four seasons (2002-06).
#64 Greg Pateryn
Greg Pateryn was recently called up to the Canadiens making his NHL debut. Not too many players have worn #64 in the Canadiens storied history. He joins Armand Mondou (1934-35) and Jean-Philippe Côté (2005-06).

#24 Jeff Halpern
Jeff Halpern was picked up off waivers in March and returns for his second tour of duty with the Havs. In Halpern's 13 year career in the NHL, Halpern always wore #15. But #15 is currently reserved for Petteri Nokelainen who is in Hamilton after missing a year of action due to a back injury. Halpern becomes the 42nd different player in Canadiens history to wear #24. Among the notables to don the jersey were Chris Chelios (1983-90) and Lyle Odelein (1990-96). #24 was last worn by Mathieu Schneider. Trivia enthusiast will appreciate that when Serge Savard was first called up by the Canadiens back in 1966, and similarly by Pierre Mondou back 1976, they were given #24.
#40 Nathan Beaulieu
Nathan Beaulieu becomes the 5th rookie to earn a start with the Canadiens during the abbreviated 2012-13 season. Beaulieu becomes only the 8th different player to wear the number 40, and the first since Maxime Lapierre wore it for six seasons (2005-11). The first player to wear #40 in Habs history was Domenic Campedelli back in the 1985-86 season.

Apple will launch a new, smaller iPad next year with a 7.85in screen, according to reports.
Digitimes claims that its sources have revealed Apple's plans to launch a smaller iPad some time before the fourth quarter of 2012 and in addition to a third-generation iPad which will launch in the first quarter.
Apple has been "persuaded into the development of 7.85-inch iPads", Digitimes claims, by the success of Amazon's Kindle Fire and large-screen smartphones.
Displays for the tablets will be manufactured by LG and AU Optronics, the report says. Production is likely to begin towards the end of the second quarter.
The 'iPad mini' rumours keep resurfacing - last month it was the Korea Times telling us that Apple was working on a 7.35in tablet. However, both reports do name LG as the display provider.
According to a report from IDC released this week, the iPad still dominates the tablet market but its share is slipping.

Common scams & schemes
Most individuals or groups perpetrating scams take great care to ensure that they appear legitimate and their malicious intentions remain undetected. By being aware of some of the most prevalent scams, you will be better prepared should you ever find yourself a target of one.
The following are common scams and schemes that could be used to gain access to personal and financial data.
Fraudulent e-mails
E-mail fraud — sometimes called "phishing" or "brand spoofing" — is the creation of e-mail messages and Web pages that are replicas of existing, legitimate sites and businesses. These fraudulent attempts often ask for information such as credit card numbers, bank account information, social insurance numbers, and passwords that will be used to commit fraud. Never reply to an e-mail that requests your personal information. Contact the financial institution immediately, if you receive a suspicious e-mail.
Tax and revenue scams
In recent years, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre has noted an increasing number of complaints that individuals had been contacted by someone posing as a representative from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). In some instances, Canadians are contacted by phone by one or more fraudsters posing as representatives of the CRA. The fraudsters tell the potential victim some or all of the following: their tax returns have been reassessed, and money is owing to the CRA immediately; failure to pay the outstanding amount could result in arrest or further fines for deliberately hiding income; the matter is confidential, and mentioning it to friends or family will only make matters worse.
The potential victims are then asked to wire funds, purchase and send prepaid cards, or deposit funds directly into a bank account, as opposed to sending the amount to the CRA directly. If the potential victim hesitates or begins asking questions, the caller often becomes verbally abusive, attempting to bully the victim into paying up.
Card scams
Fraudsters have the technology which allows them to "skim" the data contained on magnetic strips, manufacture phony cards, and overcome such protective features as holograms. Card scams can take many forms. Scammers can fraudulently obtain your credit card number and reproduce it on a blank card, make telephone or Internet purchases or sell your credit card information to other scammers. Money wiring scams involve sending money electronically to another city or country. Scammers sometimes pose as contest organizers looking for fees before prizes can be released, shipping companies requesting more money in order to deliver your package or even a friend of a friend who is in trouble and needs money wired as soon as possible. There are many other forms of card and wire scams not mentioned here, but which are equally malicious.
Cheque scams
Fraudulent cheques are used in a variety of scams. For example, a "mystery shopper" scam involves individuals receiving a letter and a cheque from a third party claiming to be contracted by the company. The letter has instructions to deposit the cheque into a bank account and to verify deposit and personal information with the scammer. The individual may also be told to keep a small amount as a reimbursement then wire the rest of the money back to the scammer. Once the fraudulent cheque bounces, the targeted person is responsible for paying the money back to the bank, the wire transfer charges and any other bank fees. Other activity involving fraudulent cheques include lottery/award scams, overpayment scams and inheritance scams.
Investment scams
Investment scams traditionally refer to selling an investment opportunity in shares or other investments that are either worthless or non-existent. An investment scam can occur in any solicitation form (telephone, mail, email, etc.) for investments into false, deceptive or misleading investment opportunities, often referring to higher than normal or true monetary returns which consumers lose most or all of their money. Some examples reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre included ponzi schemes, franchise opportunities, futures trading, multi-level marketing opportunities, mortgage investment opportunities and pump and dump schemes.
The following are warning signs that you should be aware of in order to protect yourself from investment scams:

Woman Returns From Vacation To Find Strangers Living In Her House
Katherine Lang pulled into the driveway of her newly purchased home after a 10-day vacation and quickly realized something was amiss. The door to her shed was open and filled with items she didn't own, and two strange women were inside talking. According to the Beaufort Gazette Lang walked into her home and demanded to know what the two were doing in her home. The women claimed they had a lease and were the new tenants. Lang quickly realized what happened. The tenants had been scammed.
Lang bought the home back in October, but was not living there at the time. She was staying in her old home until she could sell it. While the house was unattended, somebody created an advertisement for the newly renovated home, which even listed the house as furnished with items Lang had brought over.
The victim, 22-year-old Tyggra Shepherd, saw the post and wired $1,150 to the scammers. She was originally told the keys would be mailed to her, but they never came. The 'landlord" claimed the delivery person who had the keys was arrested, but told Sheppherd the backdoor was open so she could start moving in.
The women were able to come to an agreement about when Shepherd would move out. Lang said once Shepherd moves out, she plans to move into her new home, regardless of if her old home has sold.

Columbia/Inchelium one of the teams to beat
Columbia-Inchelium, in its second season as a combined Class B-8 football team, should be one of the teams to beat in the Northeast 1B North this fall. The Timberwolves, 7-4 last season after finishing the 2010 campaign with a quarterfinal loss to then second-ranked Cusick, lost significantly to graduation. But there is enough returning talent to pretty much guarantee that Columbia-Inchelium will be a factor in the league race once again. "We have 10 kids who played last season," said longtime Columbia High head coach and Timberwolves coach, Chuck Wyborney. "We've got some kids who can play, but athletically, this may not be the best group I've had, but it's certainly an intelligent group overall and a great group of kids. The kids get along really well, are working hard and looking forward to getting the season started." Republic visits Columbia-Inchelium will open the season on Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. in Hunters against what looks to be vastly improved Republic. There are 15 players out from Columbia and eight more from Inchelium. Key returning players for the Timberwolves: junior 6-0, 170-pound lineman William Simmons; fellow lineman Joey Biggs, a 5-8, 200-pound senior; tight end Tyler Gleave, a big 6-3, 240-pound senior; coach Wyborney's son, junior quarterback Dustin Wyborney, a 6-1, 190-pounder, and fullback Nick Hill, a 6-1, 190-pound junior. Players who have been around the program, possess some game experience and are expected to contribute: lineman Paul Flett, a 5-11, 260-pound senior; running back Marvin Reyes, a 5-8, 160-pound senior; quarterback Thomas Cohen, a 5-11, 215-pound sophomore; 5-11, 140-pound sophomore Kurtis McDowell, and 5-6, 140-pound senior Ken Piper. Speed to burn Key newcomer this fall appears to be speedster Dominic Marquez (5-10, 150 pounds). The senior is the team's fastest player and will be counted on heavily to pick up yardage in the Timberwolves' backfield. He was the runner-up in the State 1B 200 meters. Marquez hasn't played since he was a sophomore. Marquez doesn't have enough practices in yet and will miss the first two games. Wyborney said that at this point anyway, the Timberwolves don't appear to have a featured-type back that will get the majority of the calls and carries. "Most years, we have had stud backs," Wyborney said, adding that "we have some good kids, but I don't think we have an every down kind of back. We've got about four good backs…we'll do it by committee." What Wyborney and his staff of Brian Myers and Tom Berg do have is the physically largest team they've had. There is some girth this season. "We have more size than we have ever had," Wyborney said. Whether that size will be an advantage in the most rigorous eight-man league in the state is anybody's guess. "We hope to have a great fall and some excitement," Wyborney added. AROUND THE LEAGUE Cusick, on a roll the past three seasons and one of the top two or three eight-man squads in the state, lost heavily to graduation last spring, but the Panthers still figure to be a handful. Then there is Almira/Coulee-Hartline. The Warriors are loaded in the so-called skill positions and may be the best eight-man team in the state this fall, although coastal power Lummi (Bellingham) might have something to say about that. "ACH still has some really good skill kids…they lost a lot of linemen," Wyborney said. "But they'll be really good. And Cusick lost some good athletes, but they will still be good." Wyborney figures that the Northeast 1B could be as wide open as it's been in years. "I think there will be a lot of close games," added Wyborney, who thinks second-year program Northport should be tougher. Ditto for Wilbur-Creston. Northport under Don Fox should be improved "I think that Northport will be greatly improved and Selkirk, while they lost a lot of kids, probably has the best running back in the league." Wellpinit has enough athletes to make things interesting and Curlew will likely continue to struggle on the football field. OUTLOOK Columbia-Inchelium will be in the mix like they always are. The Timberwolves are too well coached not to be a factor when push comes to shove. "It comes down to how much we progress and who steps up. We have to make sure we're ready to play," Wyborney said. ROSTER Seniors— Justin Singer, 5-10, 180, Off/Def. Tyler Gleave, 6-3, 240, G/LB Marvin Reyes, 5-8, 160, RB/CB Paul Flett, 5-11, 260, G/NG Joey Biggs, 5-8, 200, C/NG Ken Piper, 5-6, 140, E/DE Ron Kheel, 6-0, 225, G/DE Dominic Marquez, 5-9, 165, RB/CB Juniors— Sam LeaderCharge, 6-0, 160, E/CB Nick Hill, 5-10, 165, RB/LB Dustin Wyborney, 6-1, 190, QB/CB William Simmons, 6-0, 170, G/LB Dustin Elliott, 5-9, 155, C/LB Makaleh McCoy, 5-10, 165, RB/DB Sophomores— Mataeo Silk, 5-4, 155, RB/LB Kurtis McDowell, 5-11, 140, E/CB Jacob Dite, 5-7, 200, C/NG Thomas Cohen, 5-11, 215, E/DE Ethan Renolds, 5-10, 240, G/NG Eric Hooper, 5-10, 225, G/DE Bradon Allen Freshmen— Quenton Holford, Roder Finley, Noah Zehtmer Josh Flett, 5-10, 230, RB/LB SCHEDULE Sept.2—Republic at Hunters, 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9—At Wilbur-Creston, 7 p.m. Sept. 16—At Northport, 7 p.m. Sept. 23—ACH at Inchelium, 3 p.m. Sept. 30—at Selkirk, 7 p.m. Oct. 7—Cusick at Hunters, 3 p.m. Oct. 14—Odessa-Harrington at Inchelium, 3 Oct. 21—Curlew at Hunters, 3 p.m. Oct. 28—At Wellpinit, 3 p.m. Nov. 4—Crossover NE North vs. South

Hello Dolls,
Creative title, right? :) I actually did that shimmy shimmy bang bang on my SnapChat (CariCollazo) and when I sat down to write this post I thought it would be a great title. The shimmies on this outfit are those pads on top of the beautiful crop top. The crop which was on sale and probably no longer available is from Bebe. The high waisted bandage skirt is from Bebe.com as well. And as always the pumps are from LolaShoetique.com . I'm soooo into crop tops and high waisted skirts.
Would you wear this?
Xo, Cari

Aside from playing dreadful golf, committing felony gluttony and asking stale questions, the media's primary
function at the ACC Football Kickoff on Sunday and Monday in Pinehurst, N.C., will be forecasting the all-conference team and order of finish.
Sometimes we're right: Virginia Tech was our choice to win the league last season.
Sometimes we're wrong: Hokies quarterback Tyrod Taylor didn't sniff the 2010 preseason team, much less player of the year. Florida State's Christian Ponder received both nods, hardly an illogical choice.
The picks may gin up interest and spark an online debate or three, but they're otherwise worthless. No one ever wanted or received a plaque for any preseason recognition.
Truth be told, I'm not exactly sure what criteria to use for the July all-conference squad. Should it be based strictly on past performance? Or should we project 2011 potential?
Consider quarterback. If past performance is the sole or chief measure, Maryland's Danny O'Brien is the pick. If individual and team promise are factors, Florida State's EJ Manuel merits a long look.
So with those caveats in mind, and barring unexpected revelations, here's how my ballots will look.
Virginia Tech: Markedly improved run defense or quality play from new quarterback Logan Thomas figure to assure a fifth division title in seven years for the Hokies. If they get both, against a forgiving schedule, look out.
Miami: Few doubt the Hurricanes' talent. Many doubt their collective attitude. New coach Al Golden needs to change the culture, and the quarterbacks (Jacory Harris and Stephen Morris) need to curtail the ghastly mistakes.
Georgia Tech: Coin flip here between the on-probation Yellow Jackets and soon-to-be-on-probation North Carolina. Here's a vote for coach Paul Johnson's option offense and Georgia Tech's home game versus Tar Heels.
North Carolina: Bank on the Carolina-centric ACC media picking the Heels higher. But with no experienced quarterback, no winning league record since 2004 and an ominous NCAA cloud hovering, I'm not biting.
Virginia: The Cavaliers have lost three straight to Duke and can't match the Blue Devils' offensive experience. So why pick UVa ahead of Duke? Chalk it up to provincialism and a hunch that Jim Reid's defense will be better.
Duke: Force of habit here. With quarterback Sean Renfree and receivers Conner Vernon and Donovan Varner, the Blue Devils boast the division's most established offense. If they can't win three or four league games, then when?
Florida State: The Seminoles are the consensus choice to win the ACC, and rightfully so. Manuel, a Virginia Beach product, oozes potential. One cautionary note: In four 2010 defeats, FSU allowed 156 points.
North Carolina State: Coach Tom O'Brien won over legions with last season's 9-4 record. He could lose just as many if quarterback Michael Glennon flops as Russell Wilson's replacement. Eight returning defensive starters ease Glennon's burden.
Clemson: If the new quarterback (Phoebus grad Tajh Boyd) and offensive coordinator (Chad Morris) thrive, and if running back Andre Ellington is healthy and if the defense can withstand the loss of three first-team All-ACC guys, the Tigers could contend. Too many ifs.
Maryland: Randy Edsall inherits 14 starters from a 9-4 team, including O'Brien and all-conference defenders Joe Vellano and Kenny Tate. But the opener against Miami, roadies at FSU and N.C. State and lack of receivers a concern.
Boston College: Other than Montel Harris, on pace to become the ACC's career rushing leader, and linebackers Luke Kuechly and Kevin Pierre-Louis, this could be a long season for the Eagles. Perhaps long enough to end a 12-year bowl run.
Wake Forest: Quarterback Tanner Price and running back Josh Harris had sublime moments last season as freshmen, but to avoid a second straight last-place finish, the Deacons must improve a defense that ranked 110th nationally in points allowed (35.8 points per game).
Overall champion: Florida State.
Quarterback: Danny O'Brien, Maryland. Beware of FSU's EJ Manuel, Duke's Sean Renfree and Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas.
Running backs: Montel Harris, Boston College; Anthony Thompson, Florida State. Beware of Clemson's Andre Ellington, Miami's Lamar Miller, Virginia Tech's David Wilson and Maryland's Davin Meggett.
Tight end: George Bryan, N.C. State.
Receivers: Conner Vernon, Duke; Jarrett Boykin, Virginia Tech. Beware of North Carolina's Dwight Jones, Virginia's Kris Burd, Duke's Donovan Varner and Miami's Travis Benjamin.
Center: Tyler Horn, Miami.
Guards: Brandon Washington, Miami; Jaymes Brooks, Virginia Tech. Beware of Virginia's Austin Pasztor.
Tackles: Andrew Datko, Florida State; Blake DeChristopher Virginia Tech. Beware of Virginia's Morgan Moses.
Return specialist: Tony Logan, Maryland.
Kicker: Will Snyderwine, Duke.
Offensive player of year: Harris.
Ends: Brandon Jenkins, Florida State; Quinton Coples, North Carolina.
Tackles: Joe Vellano, Maryland; J.R. Sweezy, N.C. State.
Linebackers: Sean Spence, Miami; Bruce Taylor, Virginia Tech; Luke Kuechly, Boston College.
Cornerbacks: Chase Minnifield, Virginia; Jayron Hosley, Virginia Tech.
Safeties: Ray-Ray Armstrong, Miami; Vaughn Telemaque, Miami.
Punter: Dawson Zimmerman, Clemson.
Defensive player of year: Hosley.
Feel free to object early and often.

Ducks survive week of injuries, more roster moves
Under normal circumstances, most baseball teams would not be too happy about winning only three of six games during a week-long home stand. However, this was certainly not a normal week for the Long Island Ducks. Playing without two of their starting pitchers and three of their best hitters, the Duc

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was introduced to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate currently in production. Original sales projections forecasted less than 100,000 systems for the very first year. This mark was exceeded in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but numerous changes were made at the traditional opening of the new model year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of generators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo below a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made enough distinction to necessitate designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually sustained with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Aubrey TX are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were needing to compete with imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller than the very first variation however, due to the added devices needed to satisfy new US emission and security policies, was much heavier than the very first design. Performance was decreased and in the first year only 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Aubrey TX were offered in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a third time. This time it was based upon the bigger Fox platform and the interior was really huge enough for four individuals. The trunk was larger and so was the engine bay. The body designs offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang worked as an Indianapolis 500 speed car and Ford built 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Merry Christmas: What's In Santa's Bag For Pac-12 Programs?Posted by AMurawa on December 20th, 2011
It's that time of the year where everybody is on the lookout for that one great gift for their friends and family. In the spirit of the season of giving, I've been racking my brain, trying to come up with the perfect gifts for all of the Pac-12 basketball programs. My good friend Mr. Claus is willing to help me out, and between the two of us, we think we've found just the right thing for everybody around the conference.
Arizona – Is it too much to ask for Derrick Williams back? Because he would go a long way towards curing the Wildcats' ills up front. But since we don't want to take Williams' new contract or endorsement deals away from him, we're going to have to settle on a babysitter for freshman point guard Josiah Turner. Just somebody who can make sure the kid eats his fruits and vegetables and gets to class and practice on time and in one piece, allowing Turner to simply focus on taking care of business at Point Guard U.
Arizona State – All Sun Devil hoops fans want for Christmas is just one letter grade higher in one class on Jahii Carson's transcript. The freshman point guard just missed getting a high enough score on his ACT exam to earn eligibility in Tempe, but just one point higher or one letter grade higher on his high school transcript would have made the speedy point ready to play. Santa has assured me that he's found a minor discrepancy in Carson's junior year Spanish class that could get him on the court immediately. Sure, Carson isn't going to turn the Sun Devils into a Tournament team overnight, but they'll certainly be a lot easier on the eyes.
California – Hey, it's not much, but this wake-up call service we scored for roomies Allen Crabbe and Richard Solomon should save the Bears countless hours of missed practices and subsequent benchings. And we're even throwing in a brand new icemaker, which should help Jorge Gutierrez heal up all those bumps and bruises he gets from diving all over the court.

The Infiniti JX35 is a midsize luxury crossover sport utility vehicle (SUV) that debuted as a concept at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance event in 2011. The production version of the vehicle was introduced at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Infiniti JX35 is manufactured in Tennessee, and beginning is sold in the U.S. under its luxury brand, Infiniti.
The Infiniti JX35 shares the same platform as the Nissan Murano, which is a midsize crossover SUV that Nissan introduced to the United States in December 2002. Although the platform technically remains the same, the Infiniti JX35 has a more elongated body as compared to the Murano.
The Infiniti JX35 aims to compete directly with other three-row crossover luxury SUVs such as the Audi Q7, Lincoln MKT, and Buick Enclave.
The Infiniti JX35 markets itself as a crossover that can provide luxury and still comfortably accommodate seven passengers in its three rows. The car has a notably long wheelbase and short overhang, both of which help to improve comfort for the passengers inside without sacrificing on any exterior styling. The vehicle has a low roofline, but Nissan believes that it does not compromise on passenger headroom.
The vehicle has gained some level of popularity for its comprehensive safety features, including distance control assist, backup collision intervention, an around view monitor, blind spot intervention, and moving object detection. While there is no doubt that all these features make the Infiniti JX35 a safety-centric vehicle in theory, some critics doubt if they will be so useful in practice.
Apart from the safety features, the Infiniti JX35 promises quite a powerful powertrain along with a slew of optional features. The exterior design of the Infiniti JX35 shares many elements with the Nissan Murano, but the most significant differences can be seen in the front and rear styling. The vehicle design claims to be unique, but it has several similarities to in the styling of other luxury crossover SUVs in the market.
The 2013 model year is the first for Infiniti JX35. The 2013 Infiniti JX35 aims at providing performance and comfort in common with other luxury models sold under the Infiniti brand. On the outside, the Infiniti JX35 has a fluid design and uses a distinctive roofline and D-pillars.
The interior of the Infiniti JX35 boasts expectedly high quality. The center console and dashboard design draws heavily from the midsize Infiniti M sedan. The vehicle offers a brand new Intelligent View display at the center instrument panel, and is surrounded by easily legible electroluminescent gauges. The first feature that catches attention inside, however, is the seven-inch wide vehicle information display.
The third row of the Infiniti JX35 claims to accommodate adults comfortably, which promises a rarity for vehicles in this class. The second row of the SUV comes with a unique sliding feature that allows it to slide forward by 5.5 inches. This increases the space for the third row, which helps to accommodate tall passengers. All three rows have a split-folding function that improves the versatility of the vehicle.
A 3.5-liter V-6 engine fits under the hood of the Infiniti JX35. This engine delivers 265 hp at 6400 rpm and 248 lb-ft of torque at 4400 rpm. A continuously variable transmission gearbox couples with the engine, and the EPA estimates 17/23 mpg city/highway. The SUV comes standard with front-wheel drive, but an all-wheel drive will be offered as an option for those customers who want better bad weather capabilities.
Nissan will offer the Infiniti JX35 in five packages: Premium, Deluxe Touring, Theater, Driver Assistance, and Technology. All models of the Infiniti JX35 will, however, include certain standard luxury features such as a power sunroof, leather seats, heated front seats, power adjustability for the seats, a power rear liftgate, a RearView Monitor camera system, 18-inch five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, a six-speaker audio system with AM/FM and CD playback, a Bluetooth hands-free phone system, and a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel.
The Infiniti JX35 offers some standard safety features, such as rollover sensors, dual-stage front airbags, and head curtain side impact airbags for all three rows, and front-seat side impact airbags. ABS and tire pressure monitoring come as standard features, as do the stability and traction control systems.

After an offseason which saw every team comply with the letter of the Rooney Rule, but none implement its spirit, the NFL is considering broadening the scope of the rule.
According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, one possibility which has been discussed is an expansion of the Rooney Rule which would require teams to interview minority candidates for coordinator jobs. The namesake of the rule hinted at such changes in another interview. As currently written, teams have to interview at least one minority candidate for head coach and general manager jobs.
The idea is a good one, so long as the same two or three coaches aren't going on multiple interviews to check off a box. Its application would be most interesting on offense, where the number of minority play-callers doubled last week when Pep Hamilton was named offensive coordinator in Indianapolis, joining Baltimore's Jim Caldwell.
The bigger problem remains developing candidates for those interviews, or else the proposed new rule might create the appearance of action rather than any substantive change.
Whether it's a minor league the likes of which the league has lacked since NFL Europe was disbanded, or an affiliation with an existing league such as the CFL, a long-term answer will rely on creating opportunities for new candidates to get experience calling plays, rather than just going on interviews.
