When I entered Chiapas, we had already begun some steady climbing. The road wound up through the mountains and eventually took us into Tuxtla Gutierrez, a large city of 600,000, the capital of Chiapas. There was nothing much to experience here besides big city amenities. I met with a Servas host, but we couldnt arrange a much more than a brief encounter in the day. We moved on the next day and had 2 half days of cycling up to 7600 ft in the grueling mountains. During this time we passed many small indigenous agricultural villages. I marveled at the site of corn fields on steep hillsides, and women in traditional dress carrying heavy loads of firewood and drinking water by a head strap. These people seemed generally shy but curious, turning around to get a second look at the fair skinned stranger on bike, no matter how heavy a load they were carrying. We spend a night high up overlooking clouds and saw a beautiful sunset. We descended into San Cristobal de las Casas and settled in to a nice colorful hostel on the recommendation of the local bike rental and tour guides. San Cristobal center has a nice colonial look, cobblestone streets, one story buildings, and well preserved churches. It reminds me a lot of Antigua, Guatemala. There is a nice pedestrian strip, a big outdoor produce market, and a colorful handicrafts market that sells clothing, leather goods, amber jewelry, and other regionally made goods. There are more indigenous people here than anywhere else I have been in Mexico. Apparently, something like 33 different groups are represented in this region. Many come down from their small villages to work in the markets and streets selling goods during the day. It is common to see children from 8 to 13 years old selling handmade belts, sweaters and hats or gum, candy and cigarettes. In some villages, you can see how the Mayan people have mixed catholic traditions with their own. During my stay in San Cristobal, gunpowder blasts from shooting fireworks could be heard at all hours of the day, usually about 5 times a day. Apparently, they are set off to celebrate the days of certain saints, and Ive even heard they are supposed to ward off evil spirits.
I felt great about this city, rich in culture and inexpensive to live. At night, I enjoyed the lively music scene. Reggae music has a very strong showing here. Musicians, jewelry makers, and street performers stayed at the same hostel so it was pretty easy to find the action at night. I could visit the city with a fellow traveler or just chill out and soak up the sun and cool breezes. I spoke to a few people about a side trip bike ride to the Mayan ruins of Palenque, a descent that takes you almost to sea level with some nice sites on the way. I was warned by the bike tour guides about some robberies that have occurred in the last stretch of road to Palenque. Adrian opted to take a bus down and avoid the risk. Something told me that I should take the side trip, that the experience would be rich and worthwhile. I decided to take the ride and left behind some things to lighten the load. I figured if I got my bike stolen, it would be a good excuse to spend more time in this cool city. I was surprised to encounter some decent uphills on the way out of town, but I was put at ease with the peaceful atmosphere and fresh pine smell of the surrounding forests. I passed through small corn farms on the roadside, wound my way through expansive valleys and caught great views along the way. On my second day, near the town of Ocosingo, I biked out to the ruins of Tonina and spent a few hours checking out some ancient stone temples from a civilization that lived here from 300 to 900 AD. My third day had some major descents and I had a nice stop in Agua Azul, where a huge waterfall comes down in levels from up in the mountains. The rushing water smoothes down the rock and forms nice inviting natural swimming pools. I swam around in the refreshing water, dove in from swing ropes, and took lots of pictures before making the final ride to Palenque. This was the area I was warned about and I struggled to look at each person I saw on the road as a friend and not as a possible thief. Despite my bias, I wasnt robbed or mistreated. The ride to Palenque ended up being a wonderful and scenic side trip. I arrived out of the mountains and the land completely flattened. My legs were tired from the ride. I secured accommodations at a cool campground very close to the ruins, cleaned up, and tried to acclimate to the humidity of the lowlands once again. Being up in the mountains in San Cristobal, I was getting used to the nice sunny days and cool nights, spoiled even. I ventured out to the Palenque Ruins the next day and explored the historic area nestled in the jungle. I walked through the rainforest where some buildings had been taken over by huge buttressed trees whose roots spread over the stones and down the terraced landscape. After just a little bit of walking, my clothes were damp with sweat and the surrounding humidity. I enjoyed the views from the tall pyramids in the main plaza of the ancient city. The area seemed to be in a constant state of maintenance, restoration, and busyness from visiting tourists and hopeful vendors. Palenque was one of the most densely populated cities during its time. These remnants provided clues to the history of a civilization that I found it hard to imagine what it would have been like to live in. I tried taking a couple small jungle trails and retreated quickly with strange bites, and dirtier clothes. I took a stroll through the museum and picked up some information and saw some very cool artwork and crafts that had been salvaged from the ruins.
After returning from the ruins, I had a nice conversation with a French traveler and I felt this was a great day to end my Palenque side trip experience. I decided to head out and bus it back to San Cristobal later that day. The bus ride was a 4 and a half hour journey that may have been comfortable if taken at speeds that would have made it a 7 hour journey. There were many curves! It felt good to be back in San Cristobal. I set up camp on my 3rd story patio perch, with a nice view of the surrounding mountains and city and sky and prepared to reflect on my past week and a half through cycling through Chiapas.
Enjoy the photos. I know I enjoyed being there!
Peace and Love,

I am importing .ics files through the import feature of zimbra web client.
I have a translator that is converting a .csv file from Outlook 2003 SP3 to a .ics file.(The pst importer, for whatever reason is not importing calendar events)
When the calendar events are imported into Zimbra via the import feature, all the calendar events are marked as private.
I've gone back and check the .csv file, and the all events for the PRIVATE column are marked as 'false', meaning those events are not PRIVATE.
Might there be a solution to re-categorize these events as PUBLIC in a batch method in Zimbra besides doing so one at a time to each event?

A Jewish woman and a Black teenage girl were both arrested after they got into an altercation in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, NY. The Jewish woman, Sara Mina Setton, is said to be a teacher at the Beis Rivkah High School in Brooklyn.
The Black teenage girl is reported to have thrown a glass bottle in a neighborhood park and Setton, the teacher, responded by punching her. The altercation reportedly caused a group of Black people to come to the teenager's defense, almost causing a riot. Setton is reported to have been arrested first when the Police arrived at the scene, much to the approval of the Black crown who cheered as she was arrested. The Black teenage girl was also arrested, shortly after.
It is reported that Setton, who was accompanied by her father, exchanged racial slurs with the growing crowd before she was arrested.

Despite losing to Reale Cartagena, and after ElPozo Murcia's victory over Marfil Santa Coloma, Marc Carmona's men secured the second position of the table in the regular season and will play Carnicer Torrejón in the quarter-finals of the play-off
The first match will be played on Saturday, May 19m at Torrejón
Reale Cartagena: Moi, Adeirton, Campoy, Pizarro, Alex –starting five-, Jaison, Del Moral, Rafinha, Jesús García, Pizarro and Taro
Barça Alusport: Cristian, Lín, Saad, Lozano, Igor –starting five-, Wilde, Javi Alonso, Javi Rodríguez, Ari and Torras
Goals: 1-0, Jaison (7'); 1-1, Sergio Lozano (12'); 1-2, Wilde (16'); 2-2, Moi (22'); 2-3, Sergio Lozano (23'); 3-3, Moi (28'); 4-3, Rafinha (29'); 4-4, Sergio Lozano (33'); 5-4, Rafinha (35'); 6-4, Jesús García (36'); 7-4, Pizarro (40')
Referees: Rabadán Sáinz and Sánchez de Ayala
Barça Alusport closed out the regular season of the LNFS with a meaningless defeat against newly relegated Reale Cartagena. The home team took the early lead but the reaction from FC Barcelona was almost immediate. In fact, goals from Sergio Lozano and Wilde allowed Barça to go to the break with the 1-2 lead. The second half was level until the last seven minutes, when Rafinha, Jesús García and Pizarro all scored to make it 7-4.
The match didn't start off well for Marc Carmona's men. On 7 minutes, Jaison scored the opener for Reale Cartagena. Two minutes later, Cristian saved the second goal. Little by little, Barça Alusport started to pressure the home side as they looked for the equalizer. Alex, on 11 minutes, Cartagena's keeper, did well to save what would have been Barça's first. Sergio Lozano, a minute later, made it 1-1. Four minutes from the end of the first half, Wilde put Barça ahead. Both teams went to the break with 1-2 on the scoreboard.
Cartagena take the win
At the start of the second half, just like in the first, Cartagena scored. This time it was Moi, on 22 minutes, that brought the home side level. The Barça reaction, however, was almost immediate. One minute later, Lozano once agains put Barça in front (2-3). The team led by David Marín didn't give out, however. In two minutes the home team took the lead thanks for goals from Moi and Rafinha. On 33 minutes, Lozano scored his third goal to make it 4-4.
Reale Cartagena waited until the end to show off their best futsal. The home team bid farewell to their season with three goals (Rafinha, Jesús García and Pizarro) in the last seven minutes of the match (7-4).

The Contemporary Arts Center hosts a performance tonight by enigmatic, critically acclaimed singer/songwriter/musician Zola Jesus. The stage name of Nika Roza Danilova, Jesus has become a prime force on musical tip sheets as an artist to watch. Her uniquely atmospheric, electronic-based compositions are adventurous and evocative dreamscapes that have deep, philosophical underpinnings and often a dark hue, something that has led to her being pegged as "Goth." Danilova told CityBeat's Leyla Shokoohe she believes that pigeonhole is just a gut response to any music dealing with "darkness"; she views her music's emotional tone as merely a reflection of the natural spectrum of her emotions, "not a choice of style." Still, it's hard to not hear the influence of acts like Dead Can Dance and Cocteau Twins in her work (as well as other pioneering synth-based Pop).
Danilova said she specifically requested to play the CAC on her current tour.
"I emailed my booking agent, and I was like, 'I really want to play at the Contemporary Arts Center' because I love architecture and it's the only building in America designed by my favorite architect (Zaha Hadid)," Jesus told CityBeat. "I just have heard it's great and I'm really excited. When I'm in a building that feels like (it) aligns with everything I feel inside, it just makes things so much more utopian in a way. I just think that architecture reflects the personality and character of the world."
Those kind of philosophical insights run throughout the interview. Check it out here. Tonight's performance (with her backing band and visually stimulating stage design) starts at 8 p.m. with an opening set by Noise Pop duo Talk Normal. Remaining tickets will be available for purchase at the door for $15. Click here for details on the performance and check out the official Zola Jesus video for "Vessel" off of her latest album, Conatus.

Hello again! M., your incredibly remiss guest-poster here again with a foray into the cold of space during this sultry last week of August.
Recently, I had the pleasure of a visit from Lovely Lola, which was outstanding fun. Unfortunately, I also had an unpleasant run-in with the couch of doom, which has left my back in such a state that I cannot stand for more than an hour without wanting to scream. What's a nerd to do when faced with lots of uninterrupted hours of immobility in bed? Watch Star Trek!
This past July, Netflix sealed a deal with CBS allowing for the availability of every Star Trek series – except The Animated Series and, oddly, Deep Space Nine – on instant viewing. In the last two months, I've been making my way through some themed playlists as an approach to the 700+ episodes on hand: time-travel, alternate universes, heavy-handed moralism, etc. So, about 30 minutes into cataloguing the imperfections of my ceiling, I queued up one of my favorite Next Generation episodes from my childhood, "The Outcast." Not a good idea! It is really too true what they say about not stepping into the same river twice. After a once-through of "The Outcast," I wanted to go back and raise an incredulous eyebrow at my ten-year-old self. Really? This is your favorite?
A quick synopsis of the episode goes something like this: The Enterprise is out in space doing what is normally does (charting star-clusters and such) when it gets a request to aid the J'naii, an agender race, in locating and rescuing a lost survey ship. Cut to Soren, a J'naii scientist assigned to the rescue mission, and Riker, acting as Enterprise commander of the mission, and sparks fly. Soren is romantically (maybe sexually?) interested in Riker, and he is very interested both romantically and sexually in Soren. The problem? The J'naii believe they have evolved past biological sex and gender and police the expression of/desire for either with sanitizing force. Soren reveals to Riker that she secretly identifies as female and seeks out relationships with male-identified J'naii, or in Riker's case, male-identified humans.
Soren's superiors soon catch on to the "oddness" of Soren's behavior towards Riker and step in to "rehabilitate" her. Riker has fallen pretty hard by this point and stages an unofficial rescue of Soren so that she may seek asylum aboard the Enterprise. Unfortunately, he is too late, as the J'naii authorities have moved up the timing of Soren's "treatment" and a heartbreaking scene of "but I'm not sick anymore" ensues. Soren is left behind, and Riker sails off depressingly into the vastness of space eventually to marry Counselor Troi in the 10th movie.
I had such a negative reaction to the episode that I wound up watching it several times to suss out what was bothering me so much. There were the obvious problems that grated on my nerves – Picard's equating agender to androgyny*, the heteronormativity in writing Soren's character as female-identified given her romantic feelings for Riker, the problematic monologue on stereotypical gender roles Riker gives when asked what makes human men different from human women, the exclusive casting of female-identified actors to play the J'naii**, and the conflation of agender with asexual, among others. There was a lot to shake a critical stick at in this.
Nevertheless, it was ultimately the tacit reinforcement of the gender binary that stuck most unmovingly in my throat. I know the writers of TNG undoubtedly thought they were writing a typical Trek treatment of gender issues, i.e. a thinly-veiled comment on current human cultural dilemmas via the exploration of an alien culture. As a dramatized thought experiment, I probably wouldn't have had such an issue with the episode if the concept of an agender society weren't met with ridicule and suspicion every time someone from the Enterprise (read "the good guys") opened their mouth. Almost all Soren's questions regarding human culture are responded to with some form of "we are better because we have two genders." This gets rephrased as the equally gemmy insistence that J'naii culture must be boring because it doesn't have a binary gender system. Oh, and my absolute favorite, that the "struggle" between men and women is the positive creative force behind human intellectual and technological progress. They really should have just wrote, "Y'all suck because you don't have our super-rad gender binary." In the end I'd argue that in the process of trying to make an episodic commentary on trans* issues, the Star Trek writers wound up holding up a gender binary as the most "natural" state of "human" affairs, as if to say that in the future gender identity is a personal matter, but one that has only two options.
Now I know that all creations (artistic or otherwise) exist in a cultural and temporal context which is very evident in the case of this early 90s episode, but I can't help but feel slightly cheated by the lack of imagination in "The Outcast." Put another way, futuristic science fiction has an unspoken mission to imagine and bring to life futures that its purveyors can barely dream of at present. Thus, when it fails to ask whether something taken for granted now might be different at some future point, it is disturbingly disappointing. Dissapointing, because I, and many others, have been led to expect more ("Where No One Has Gone Before!"), and disturbing, because it often highlights in haunting detail the facets of current culture which are perceived to be innate and immutable. In the Star Trek: TNG universe, where classism, racism, able-ism, age-ism, and traditional sexism seem to have been eradicated along with currency and most disease, oppositional sexism is out in full force. Hell, the Star Trek future is a socialist future, so they've even let go of capitalism! And yet, out of the myriad races met in the Trek series, only this one is agender and is dealt with negatively for it.
But why, someone may ask, does this even matter to you? It's only a fictional future? Well, here's the thing. I was raised on Star Trek, and as such it's formulation of the future informed what I thought would be possible for my own life. Honestly, I tuned in every night to see people who looked like me (assigned female at birth) being doctors (Crusher), Engineers (B'Elanna), Linguists (Uhura), Astrophysicists (Dax), and Captains (Janeway). When I couldn't take another person asking me why I spent so much time in the library when I should be doing things that would actually benefit my future, like learning childcare and housecleaning (I am not joking), I pulled up to this wondrous future with popcorn in one hand and an organic chemistry textbook (for commercial breaks) in the other. And I'm not the only one who was inspired by Star Trek in this way. Just check out Mae Jemison or Candy Torres, some of the first women of color to work for NASA, and their recollections of how Star Trek changed their notions of the possible. Hence, when I view any episode of Trek, I'm coming at it from a place of deep investment.
I remember loving "The Outcast" as a child, because it had this amazing agender society I would have traded places with Soren any day to be a part of had I been on the Enterprise. I completely missed (as children often do) the oppressive overtones, both the obvious version of the J'naii and the less obvious from the Enterprise crew. I remember lying awake after watching it, overcome with an inexpressible sadness that the fictional future could not be present reality. And yet, I clung to the notion that Star Trek so frequently presaged advances (often through direct inspiration) – i.e. cell phones, laptops, iPads. Maybe if I waited long enough. It is inevitably difficult to return to this series with the complicating benefit of lived experience and education and realize that actually no one writing for the show thought there would be a space for you in the future. I'm not alone in this, as Trek also seems to have an aversion to writing an openly LGBT character. Perhaps I should have let my skewed childhood recollection of the episode stand without a rewatch. Even if I missed a whole chunk of the plot, it made me happier then than it does now. Oh, well, at least Left Hand of Darkness holds up to an adult eye.
My rant is complete and now I shall return you to your regularly scheduled programming and myself to a horizontal position.
*I see these identities as discrete, but others may see them as synonymous or significantly overlapping. To each their own.
**Most science fiction shows tend to do this. Apparently, in scifi agender (or androgynous) means a person assigned female at birth with short hair, bound breasts, and baggy clothing.

On Feb. 3, the snow caused considerable headaches for many motorists. The timing of the snow and more of it than was forecast caused many parents to have concerns about the safety of their children while traveling home from school. I, like every employee of the Henry County Public Schools, make the safety of our children my number one priority each and every day. It gives me great comfort to know that the transportation staff performs their duties with a great amount of professionalism.
The recent power outage made me realize that perhaps my self-image has always been slightly askew. All my life, I have fancied myself the "pioneer" type; delighting in the sight of my baby's freshly washed diapers flapping in the Kansas breeze, making jam out of the wild blackberries I picked myself on our farm, knitting cotton dishrags for the kitchen, and helping haul water when we still depended on a cistern. I have always felt the simple life was for me, as if I could step into the pages of a Laura Ingalls Wilder book and feel completely at home.
On behalf of the City of Eminence, I would like to thank the many, many volunteers who gave of their time to assist the citizens of Eminence and Henry County during the recent snow and ice storm emergencies. The list is so long that I cannot mention everyone by name, but you know who you are. I am so proud to live in a community where people care so much for one another.
I am a senior at Henry County High School, and I'm writing to bring awareness about the importance of pet owners getting their pets spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering a pet can make animals calmer and some animals feel less of an urge to run away from their home. Pets that have had the procedure done can no longer reproduce, so spaying or neutering your pet can help control the pet population. Needless to say, there will be no unwanted animals roaming the streets going hungry.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation for Tommie Kendall and his sports coverage in our community. We will always value the support and encouragement he has provided to our swim team. Since 2004, he has attended nearly every meet in order to provide accurate and pertinent information to our local community regarding our swim team. This includes traveling several miles to away meets which take place in the evenings and on weekends. Our sport is not the exception, he does this for all sports in our county.
One of the most significant and damaging health care issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky is the abuse of prescription pain medications. Nowhere is this problem more evident than in hospital emergency departments. As the predominate health care provider for families and employers of Carroll County and surrounding communities, the medical staff and board of directors of Carroll County Memorial Hospital are taking bold steps to address this drug problem in an attempt to protect our communities from this abuse.
On behalf of the citizens of Henry County I would like to express our appreciation to the following businesses and individuals that gave up their time and donated food and supplies for the Community Center and other shelters during the recent ice storm: Dairy Queen, Cook's Pharmacy, Norm's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Chat-N-Nibble, Dollar General Store, Family Dollar Store, Cowboy's, Five-Star B.P., Scribers Station, Hometown Pizza, New Castle Café, Eminence City Council Members, Eminence Police, Henry County Sheriff's Department, Red Cross, North Central Health
When times are tough, the last thing a family would ever do is jeopardize the money it knows it can count on.
I believe the same should hold true for Kentucky as well.
That is why I have filed legislation during the current legislative session that would allow video lottery terminals (VLTs) at our horse tracks. If we don't protect and promote an industry that has a $4 billion economic impact on our state, we will lose far more in the years ahead than our reputation as the horse capital of the world.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Here is a copy of the email from their laywer. They are asking for something valuable to me....my wages. Does thjs help?
After speaking with them, they would take $15,000 up front. The rest would be paid as follows: $100 per pay period, not per month, and each tax return you receive until the balance of $27,500 is paid. That should take a little over 2 years maximum. They are willing to give you two weeks to get the $15,000 to my office. There is no further negotiation or compromise of this. Payment of the $15,000 is expected by July 20, 2012, and $100 per pay period will start the first pay period in August

Robustness of Intermediate Agreements and Bargaining Solutions
Most real-life bargaining is resolved gradually; two parties reach intermediate agreements without knowing the whole range of possibilities. These intermediate agreements serve as disagreement points in subsequent rounds. Cooperative bargaining solutions ignore these dynamics and can therefore yield accurate predictions only if they are robust to its specification. We identify robustness criteria which are satisfied by four of the best-known bargaining solutions, the Nash, Kalai-Smorodinsky, Proportional and Discrete Raiffa solutions. We show that the "robustness of intermediate agreements" plus additional well-known and plausible axioms, provide the first characterization of the Discrete Raiffa solution and novel axiomatizations of the other three solutions. Hence, we provide a unified framework for comparing these solutions' bargaining theories.

"Treatment of miscellaneous idiopathic headache disorders (group 4 of the IHS classification) — report of an EFNS task force." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
Note from the National Guideline Clearinghouse: This guideline references a drug(s) for which important revised regulatory and/or warning information has been released.
Headache disorders
Patients with headache disorders classified as the so-called group 4 headaches in the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II)
A literature search was performed using the reference databases MedLine, Science Citation Index, and the Cochrane Library; the key words used were 'headache' together with the respective description of the eight different headache types (last search in April 2010). All articles published in English, German, or French were considered when they described a controlled trial or a case report or series on the treatment of one of these headache disorders. In addition, a review book and the German treatment recommendations for these headache disorders were considered.
Not stated
Evidence Classification Scheme for a Therapeutic Intervention
Class I: An adequately powered prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial with masked outcome assessment in a representative population or an adequately powered systematic review of prospective randomized controlled clinical trials with masked outcome assessment in representative populations. The following are required:
Class II: Prospective matched-group cohort study in a representative population with masked outcome assessment that meets a–e above or a randomized, controlled trial in a representative population that lacks one criteria a–e
Class III: All other controlled trials (including well-defined natural history controls or patients serving as own controls) in a representative population, where outcome assessment is independent of patient treatment
Class IV: Evidence from uncontrolled studies, case series, case reports, or expert opinion
The first draft of the manuscript was written by the chairman of the task force. All other members of the task force read the first draft and discussed changes by email. A second draft was then written by the chairman, which was again discussed by email. All recommendations had to be agreed to by all members of the task force unanimously. The background of the research strategy and of reaching consensus and the definitions of the recommendation levels used in this study have been described in the "Description of Methods Used to Collect/Select the Evidence" and the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Recommendations" fields.
The recommendations are based on the scientific evidence from clinical trials, from case reports, and on the expert consensus by the respective task force of the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS).
Rating of Recommendations for a Therapeutic Intervention
Level A (established as effective, ineffective, or harmful) requires at least one convincing class I study or at least two consistent, convincing class II studies.
Level B (probably effective, ineffective, or harmful) requires at least one convincing class II study or overwhelming class III evidence.
Level C (possibly effective, ineffective, or harmful) requires at least two convincing class III studies.
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
The guidelines were validated according to the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS) criteria (see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field).
The levels of evidence (class I-IV) supporting the recommendations and ratings of recommendations (A-C) are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
Pragmatic Recommendations for the Treatment of Headache Disorders Group 4 of the International Headache Society (IHS) Classification
Primary Stabbing Headache
Primary Cough Headache
Primary Exertional Headache
Primary Headache Associated with Sexual Activity
Hypnic Headache
Primary Thunderclap Headache
Hemicrania Continua
New Daily-Persistent Headache
Level C (possibly effective, ineffective, or harmful) requires at least two convincing class III studies.
None provided
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for selected recommendations (see the "Major Recommendations" field).
The treatment recommendations presented in this article are not based on controlled trials but most often based on case reports or series and on expert consensus.
Appropriate treatment of miscellaneous idiopathic headache disorders (the so-called group 4 headaches in the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders [ICHD-II])
This guideline provides the view of an expert task force appointed by the Scientific Committee of the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS). It represents a peer-reviewed statement of minimum desirable standards for the guidance of practice based on the best available evidence. It is not intended to have legally binding implications in individual cases.
The European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS) has a mailing list and all guideline papers go to national societies, national ministries of health, World Health Organisation, European Union, and a number of other destinations. Corporate support is recruited to buy large numbers of reprints of the guideline papers and permission is given to sponsoring companies to distribute the guideline papers from their commercial channels, provided there is no advertising attached.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.
The present guidelines were developed without external financial support.

Recipe Comments
I recently went to a Hmong Fest and had the most wonderful spicy sausage and sticky rice. Does anyone have a recipe for this sausage? Please share!
Thank you!
Imagine a standard serving of chips and curry, with two of those small sausages.
Calorie Count sites are pretty useless in that they only provide the calories for pre-packaged supermarket meals.
Thanks Isaac but I'm actually trying to gain weight, moron.
I know a few (German sausages, English curry, Spanish flan, Norwegian pickled herring, French falafel, Polish pączki, and Italian spaghetti), but what are some other countries' traditional dishes?
Peas? Beans? Curry? Gravy?
What about fishcake and chips?
Hi I am from New Zealand and wanting to know what corndogs are made from.We have hotdogs which are sausage diped in batter and then fried.

Chesapeake Utilities deserves praise
A pleasant surprise when dealing with contractors. Chesapeake Utilities was installing natural gas lines in Bay Breeze. Early one morning, I went to use my toilet and found a large accumulation in the toilet of mud.
I called my plumber who said it was mud and the water coming from faucet was brown. Being a "newsy" person wondering if a water line had been damaged, I talked to a representative of Chesapeake Utilities and they said they thought they had.
Explaining that I was interested because of a possible serious problem, very nicely, they told me to send the plumber's charge and they would reimburse the charge and they did. It shows that there are good, honest people in this world.

Twenty seconds remained in the West Coast Conference basketball final, and finally, all the travail of its often-messy season was behind Gonzaga.
LAS VEGAS — Twenty seconds remained in the West Coast Conference basketball final, and finally, all the travail of its often-messy season was behind Gonzaga.
Even as he held the ball, guard Marquise Carter stood near midcourt and waved an arm, exhorting the crowd. Near him, Steven Gray bounced exultantly.
On the bench, coach Mark Few grabbed David Stockton and put him in a headlock, just before Few leaped into the arms of Elias Harris.
This was no time to be cool, just very happy. The Zags left nothing to chance with the NCAA selection committee, muscling past Saint Mary's, 75-63 Monday night, to punch their ticket to the dance for a 13th straight year.

All their disparate parts, the ones that at times this season seemed dysfunctional, worked themselves out and Gonzaga (24-9) did just enough to thwart the gutsy Gaels in their third meeting of the season.
"It's an unbelievable feeling, even after all the times we've done it," said Few. "I just got done telling them, I haven't been more proud of a group of guys, to go from where we were (4-5 in mid-December) to where we are now. It's taught me a lot about the resilience of kids.
"Day by day, they didn't deal with all the noise. They just played and got better."
If there's any justice, this will be a two-bid league, not just one. But Saint Mary's (24-8) has to sweat out the week's events elsewhere and hope for grace from the committee.
"It is what it is," sighed SMC coach Randy Bennett. "I can't control it. I have no idea what they look for."
As they have all season long, the teams went after each other fiercely. Not until 5:27 remained did anybody so much as wedge out an eight-point lead.
Saint Mary's had to neutralize their disadvantage up front; the Zags had to keep from getting killed by the savvy Gaels guards. Ultimately, in a guards' kind of game, the Zags got more from their big guys and survived 45 points combined from Mickey McConnell and Matt Dellavedova.
Rob Jones' baseline jumper tied it for the eighth time at 53, when finally Gonzaga took the game by the throat. Gray found Sam Dower down low for the go-ahead hoop. Then, with 6:37 to go, Stockton floated out on top and buried one of those from-the-right-shoulder threes, making it a five-point lead.
Clint Steindl's trey got Saint Mary's back within 61-58, but Harris made an athletic, tough tip of Robert Sacre's miss, and the Zags eased home at the free-throw line while the Gaels' offense (32 percent in the second half) went dry.
It was a bruising game between the unquestioned top dogs in the league. Gray took a first-half fall and had to leave the gym and get four stitches over the eye, and later Dower got poked in the eye in a scrum on the floor and didn't return.
Meanwhile, Jones, the Gaels' burly forward, was assessed a blocking foul with 10:31 left in the first half and Saint Mary's up five, and when he barked at an official, he drew a technical. He eventually fouled out.
"Pretty tough — second and third foul," said Bennett. "We've got to do a better job of keeping our composure."
Carter was named MVP in a competitive vote, joined by Gray on the all-tournament team. You could have made a case for the irrepressible Stockton, who made a passel of big plays in two nights.
So the streak goes on, bettered currently only by Kansas, Duke and Michigan State.
"It's a great feeling, knowing that come Sunday, you're not going to be sitting there sweating," said Gray, the senior from Bainbridge. "I can't imagine what that feeling would be, on a day that in my last three years has been more of a celebration than anything."
And the Zags know celebrations. Several minutes after the final horn, they paraded up into the GU student section and whooped it up with classmates.
"It was emotional," said Ray Giacoletti, the assistant coach. "My first year here (2008), it was more workmanlike."
For the Zags, it came down to this: The most arduous march to the tournament might have been the most satisfying one.

Accommodation in Crete - Travel Guide
The largest of Greece's islands, Crete is a jewel of the Mediterranean Sea. A popular holiday destination, visitors come here to experience wonderful history, incredible culture and fabulous beaches in equal measure. Explore cities like Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Chania, Malia and Rethymno, or escape the bustle with a hike in spectacular Samaria National Park. History buffs will love the ruins in Knossos, Phaistos and Heraklion's Archaeological Museum, while beach bunnies can have their fill at Preveli, Vai Beach or Zakros. Party lovers can dance until dawn in Chersonissos, while the kids will delight in hearing the ancient Greek myth about the mermaids in Elounda Lagoon. If all that exploring has worked up a hunger, you're in luck – Crete cuisine is a tourist attraction unto itself. From cheeses like graviera, myzitra and anthotiros to souvlaki and dolmades, there's a dish to appeal to every taste. If you choose self-catering Crete accommodation, you can also take advantage of the wonderful indoor Chania Market. Stock up on fresh, seasonal produce and you'll not only save money on dining out, but shop amongst the locals for a true taste of local Crete life.
When to go to Crete
Crete is a wonderful year round holiday destination, with something to delight visitors in any season. Spring welcomes glorious orchid and wildflower blooms, while summer and early autumn are ideal for a healthy dose of sun, sea and sand. Don't discount a trip to Crete in winter, though, when you will have the island virtually to yourself and can avoid the peak season tourist crowds.
Getting to and around Crete
Most tourists arrive in Crete via flights to Heraklion Airport, Chania Airport or Sitia Airport. Once in Crete, transport options include bus, ferry and hire car, although you may prefer to leave driving to the experts and choose taxis instead.

When choosing accommodation in Crete, villas, apartments and other self-catering holiday rentals make smart alternatives to more expensive hotels. Not only will booking your very own Crete villa or apartment save you money, you'll appreciate the wonderful space, freedom and privacy too.

A Must Read - Share
TIMBUKTU, Mali -- When the jihadists came to town last April, it took a little while for Ageysha to realize she wouldn't be playing basketball anymore.
A slim, steely, 15-year-old at the time, Ageysha made a plan: She would cover herself in a face-concealing niqab and full-length burka, as the Islamists demanded, and wear it while she walked to the courts. Once there, she'd cast off the extra fabric, except long pants for good measure, and dribble away.
"I thought we could just cover our bodies and keep playing," she said recently as she sat in the shade near the basketball courts of an

Coaches Review The Battle . . .
Texas Tech Coach Spike Dykes
"It's big right now, but I don't know what it means for next week. If we lose this week, that could mean three losses in a row."
(ON KANSAS): "They are well-coached and are a classy team. It's nice to beat a team like this."
(ON THE DEFENSE IN THE SECOND HALF): "We made some good plays, the difference was we made some third-down conversions. We made some turnovers, and that was the difference. You have go to get some turnovers to win. Henley is a great back and you've go to give our defense a lot of credit."
(ON THE MOOD OF TECH AT HALFTIME): "When we went in the locker room, our heads were down. Some guys came forward and got their heads up. Our coaches did a great job by making some adjustments."Kansas Coach Glen Mason
(ON THE GAME): "I think the defense played better than the score indicated. The story of the game, besides the turnovers late in the game, is that we had the ball inside the 10-yard line twice and only came away with three points.
(ON COLORADO): "I'm not worried about Colorado. (Coach Rick) Neuheisel is worried about that. I am worried about my team and I feel that we can play a lot better than we did today. "
(THE RUNNING GAME): "That old adage is true, you have to control the line of scrimmage and we didn't do that. It comes down to line blocking."
(MORE ON THE RUNNING GAME): "There will be some changes in the running game. I don't know what they are yet, and I don't know if they will work. But there will be some changes."

There's a really interesting post from Martin Belam, who is part of the team behind the Mirror Group's acclaimed UsVsTh3m and Ampp3d sites in which he looks at the recent discussion about the supposed death of the homepage.
Belam points out that it was a topic that very few people were talking about until the New York Times document – leaked by Buzzfeed - which pointed out how little of the paper's traffic came from the homepage.
As Belam says,
'I first lost interest in the homepage when I was at the Guardian. The newspaper embarked on a massive project to redesign the front. The first meeting had approximately a gazillion stakeholders in it already. I asked some awkward questions like 'have we done any user research?' and 'what is going to be our measurement for success?' and then slunk away to focus on other stuff. I realised that everybody was going to be so tied up worrying about the homepage, that I'd probably be better off concentrating my efforts on optimising the article page, which made up something like 85% of page views anyway.'
So not surprisingly Belam's Mirror projects have functional rather than decorative home pages. In his own words.
'I've gone much further with Amp3d. Just like Quartz, we've kind of abandoned the concept of the homepage at all. You land on the domain and you are thrown simultaneously into a story and a story list on desktop. On the phone, you are just straight into latest story.'
What about content marketing homepages?
Ultimately Belam is making a point about news websites, so does his slightly cynical take on homepages also apply to content marketing sites too?
It all comes down to what is the purpose of the homepage. For some brands the homepage is ostensibly a shop window that displays the brand's core values visually, in a highly attractive and engaging way. Issues such as navigation and usability are obviously hugely important from the reader's perspective, but for some brands they take a back seat.
For other brands homepages are often crammed with thumbnails and widgets and can look far too busy as they attempt to shift readers around the site.
There are some interesting suggestions as to how branded content pages should look here.
It would be ridiculous to suggest that brands shouldn't focus on their website's homepage or that designers consider them an afterthought.
However increasingly as more and more brands develop content marketing strategies, long form articles, viral videos and more become their key focus. And ensuring that these are housed in a permalink (page) that makes the most of their key attributes as well as offering the reader a path to find other similar engaging content is perhaps the editorial web designer's most important task.
As Belam puts it 'You should be treating every article on your news site as a homepage.'
It will be interesting to see how branded content homepages evolve. Who knows in the future branded content pages might be dominated by video players and interactive queries rather than lots of links to stories.
Or they may follow the route pioneered by Belam's titles, Quartz and others and throw the reader straight into the content.

Musician - Garth Brooks dies following Jet-Ski crash in Turks and Caicos IslandsTweet
Musician Garth Brooks died while on a personal vacation in Turks and Caicos early this morning from injuries sustained in a Jet-Ski accident -
Preliminary reports from Turks and Caicos Police officials indicate that the musician struck a concrete boat slip in a marina on Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The islands are located 550 miles southeast of Miami, Florida, just below the Bahamas chain and just to the east of Cuba and the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti.) Technically, the Turks and Caicos are located in the Atlantic Ocean, not the Caribbean Sea.

If you haven't gone to the "What Makes It Great?" series, you must. You absolutely must! I'm an avid fan of W.A.Mozart and adored the commentary and insights from the initial discussion of his Requiem. But even a classical-agnostic would be thrilled by the way in which the music and its moving complexities were presented to the audience. Mozart is King -- a regular "Rex Tremendae Majestatis" in his own right. Choral was fantastic and the orchestra was equally top-notch!

It was a delightful event. The 1st half lecture was interactive, simple and fun. The Chorus was excellent and well prepared.

Quotes & Highlights
"You've never heard a classical music concert like this before … Kapilow's exuberance transported the audience back into the mind of the composer and his contemporaries…. it brings a whole new level of appreciation." —San Diego Union-Tribune
"This was a knockout combination of education and entertainment … Hearing each song after Kapilow revealed its musical secrets was like meeting a celebrity just after reading his or her autobiography. Throughout the show Kapilow never once sounded dry or academic — but he did sound smart, enthusiastic, and stunningly articulate. He has a remarkable ability to make genius understandable to a general audience." —Theatermania.com
"Concerts by the Choral Arts Society of Washington are one of life's few truly reliable pleasures." —The Washington Post
Former NPR music commentator and host of the What Makes It Great series Rob Kapilow joins the Choral Arts Chorus to "get audiences in tune with classical music at a deeper level than many of them thought possible" (Los Angeles Times). Kapilow unravels and explores this glorious musical masterpiece with the audience during the first half of the concert. The second half features a full performance of the work under the baton of Maestro Scribner, followed by a Q&A with the audience and the performers.

Roughly a quarter of Americans volunteered at least once between September of 2007 and 2008. According the a report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 23% of men and 29% of women donated an average of 52 hours during that year – figures that remained virtually unchanged from the previous year.
Persons aged 35 to 44 volunteered at the highest rates, and those in their early twenties were least likely to according to the report. While younger Americans are currently volunteering at low rates, proposals by the Obama administration may boost service time in the future. A plan released by the President focuses on expanding programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and engaging retired Americans. Those still in school will also see incentives including a $4,000 education credit for college students who donate 100 hours of community service per year. Are you ready to help?
