Police say DNA linked John Puckett to the rape and murder of 22 year-old Diana Sylvester of Winthrop. She moved to San Francisco shortly after graduating from nursing school. Puckett is now 74. The decades-old murder case was reopened because of grant money San Francisco police used to create a DNA profile of the killer. One of Sylvester's sisters says even after all these years, Puckett's arrest provides a sense of relief for the family.

Before Your Date Night Tonight...Know About URISTAT
7 comments:
Very useful tips. Have a nice Sunday!ReplyDelete
I wish this product was available here. I never can get rid of urinary infections, it seems in may case they're the side affect of drugs that I'm taking for my immune disorder disease...sometimes it feels like such a closed circle...but I do have some tips to share, not that can help immensely but they can help a bit for those with recurrent problems.ReplyDelete
- avoiding sweets and sugar (completely if possible- bacteria feeds on sugar)
- avoiding spicy or greasy food
- keeping our legs warm...meaning socks or tights if the day is cold or windy
- avoiding alcohol completely
I've had a UTI and it was horrible, never in my life had I had one before, but it was the most annoying thing ever!! This sounds like a great help. And the tips are important as well, I had to change some things so I didn't get one again, no way!! Happy Sunday, I hope your day is bliss!! xReplyDelete
Love your outfit. It is important to try to drink at least 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water a day and at least one glass of cranberry juice. I have always been prone to UTI's and as a survivor of a cancerous tumor in my right ureter ( the tube that takes the urine from the kidney to the bladder) and as a nurse, good urinary health is important especially as we age as a UTI could lead to Sepsis and all kinds of more serious, even life threatening problems.
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Thanks for the post on UTI's. This is something we ALL experience, but no one want to discuss. By the way, I LOVE the outfit you are wearing here. You really rock it! Angela Muller
UTI's...the bane of existence of all women. I am a nurse practitioner, and used to suffer terribly from weird (read: strange organisms when cultured) UTI's. I always put it down to my job working in a busy ICU and being exposed to weird pathogens that, while they didn't make me unwell per se, liven on me and when introduced into the urinary tract, liked to wreak havoc.ReplyDelete
Actually, years later, having switched to a 100% plant-based diet (with the odd helping of fish when I'm on holiday and can't get a decent vegan meal), that has all gone away. There has been some really convincing research done linking the consumption of chicken with UTIs in women...likely due to the antibiotics that the animals are given while being raised. Although in my case, all that this really proves is correlation and not causality per se, it's still worth noting.
Here are what I always like to think of as my golden rules for UTIs:
1. ALWAYS pee right after sex (yes, I know it's frank, but there it is). No exceptions.
2. NEVER use antibiotics unnecessarily (for a viral infection, etc), or anything else unless it has been properly prescribed. Emphasis on PROPERLY. Sadly, there are still a lot of clinicians out there that will prescribe antibiotics for people "just in case", or because it is easier than having a frank discussion with an expectant patient about why sometimes, the treatment is to do nothing.
3. When cleaning your "Southern Hemisphere" - always front to back. Always.
4. Breathable, cotton underthings. Spanx and workout wear have a lot to answer for.
5. If you get a UTI, deal with it quickly, as it can lead to a systemic infection if it gets out of control. Doubly true if you're immunosuppressed or very elderly.
6. If you use Uristat (which is a great product), be aware that it will probably turn your urine a funny orange color.
This is a great post....thanks Pam!
You look so thin in that last picture!! Lovely necklace and shirt.ReplyDelete
Fortunately I do not have any problems like UTI's, but who knows what is yet to come.
Thanks so much for joining in our conversation today! I appreciate your time and love hearing from you!

Tutorial : Ammo Belts V2 (with RafalFett templates) - By StrumFett.
I have most of materials and everything I need to complete my costume. Is it easier for people to have everything in one thread or make different threads for different parts? I'd like to share my progress and maybe help others if I can.
That's a great idea for the boots, good thinking!!
Very nice! I'm struggling to come up with affordable boot options. It's so troublesome finding a non-leather chelsea boot with the correct sole.

Along with their love for the game of cricket, Indian cricketers are known for their craze for cars. Indian captain Dhoni is completely in love with cars and being a great fan of Hummer he finally owned it one.
It was California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger who eyed the US military Humvee mini-trucks and converted one in to luxurious SUV. Then commercially marketed as the Hummer, it soon became the range at deserts safaris in the gulf and US airways. Now Indian captain Dhoni has got himself a copper coloured Hummer and people's eye balls are falling off as huge, armoured truck rolls on Ranchi roads.
Now errant drivers, lane cutting cabbies and auto-wallas beware, Dhoni is humming a new song, and that is a heavy metal.
Indian captain will now also contribute generously to air pollution and global warming with a monstrous off-road vehicle manufactured by General Motors.
Environmentalists all over the world have been protesting against the expensive vehicle for quite a long time now as Hummer's fuel consumption and emission level is so high and it contributes to the air pollution and global warming in a big way.

I personally feel that the words "red velvet" itself makes any baked treat very special and sexy! Is it just me or is it like that for everybody, I wonder! Red velvet chocolate chip cookies recipe has been in my "to-try" list like forever!
I have already tried vegan red velvet cupcakes and was very pleased with its appearance and taste. Ever since have bookmarked recipes for red velvet chocolate chip cookies, red velvet doughnuts, red velvet cake, etc.
Being Christmas cookie swap time I decided to try the red velvet chocolate chip cookies recipe first and the rest later. There were so many recipes and I had bookmarked two. One was a red velvet chocolate chip cookie recipe from cake mix and the other one was from scratch. Since I didn't have cake mix on hand thought of trying the red velvet chocolate chip cookie recipe from scratch.
Like any other chocolate chip cookie recipe these cookies also start with the usual ingredients, the only difference being adding cocoa powder and red food color. Chocolate chip cookie recipes are a huge hit in my house and have tried many variations of it. I was eager to add this red velvet chocolate chip cookie recipe to that list.
As always made some changes to the original recipe to make it egg free. The only thing I felt missing was the dark red color because I guess I didn't have the correct red food color. I used the gel paste instead of the liquid color so the red color was not as good as I expected it to be. So get the right color.
Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
|Prep Time
|Cook Time
|15 Mins
|10 Mins + Cooling Time
|24 Cookies
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 and 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Ener-G egg replacer
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons red food color
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- In a mixing bowl stir together the flour, cocoa, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and set aside.
- In another large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until its light and creamy.
- Now add the vinegar, Ener-G, water, vanilla extract, food color and beat well.
- Stir in the flour mix into the wet mix and mix well. Stir in about 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and retain the rest. (See My Notes).
- The dough might appear to be sticky, so I would suggest to refrigerate it for at least an hour before you can bake the cookies.
- Preheat the oven at 375F/190C for 15 minutes.
- On a lightly greased cookie sheet scoop out about a tablespoon of dough for each cookie and slightly flatten it. (See My Notes)
- Bake for about 9-11 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and leave it on a wire cooling rack for it to cool. Now press the reserved chocolate chips on the warm cookies in a neat pattern to make it look attractive.
- After about 8-10 minutes remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and let it cool completely on the wire rack before storing it in an air-tight container.
- For cookies I suggest that you do a test bake with one or two cookies, see how it turns out and then bake the rest accordingly. This will give you a clear picture if a cookie will spread too much or not, if you should flatten it or not.
- I was skeptical about sticking the chocolate chips on warm cookies but did it anyhow and was pleasantly surprised with the result. It had a neat appearance and looked beautiful. This is especially a great idea if you want to photograph the cookies. But the chocolate chips will be in a semi-solid state because of the heat from the cookies, so you might have to wait for a while to store the cookies in a container or else when you top one cookie over the other the melted chocolate chip with stick to the cookies.
I m a big fan of your recipes. They are a big hit at my home. I want to know how to use flax seeds? Do we need to roast and grind them or they can be used directly?
Thanks Ishta. It is preferable that you buy ground flaxseed/flaxseed meal instead of buying the seeds and grinding them into flour.
Thanks. I already have flex seeds. Should I roast them first or can I grind them directly
You can grind them directly. But I have not tried it.
Hi even I would like to know what we can use instead of egg or egg replacer , I tried with flaxseed meal but you get the smell, so please suggest some other option for this as well as chocolate chip cookies thanks
I have used flax egg in cookies and have never got the smell. That's really strange. Unsweetened applesauce will work but the cookies will be too soft. Why don't you use cornstarch itself instead of the egg replacer in this red velvet chocolate chip cookies recipe? I am also going to try one of these days and see how it turns out.
I tried the cookies but got a very dark colour n not as bright as yours.
Maybe it varies with the brand of red food colour used. Not sure though.
Hi..any other subsitute other than Ener-G ?
You could try flax seed meal.
How many eggs to be used in the place of 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Ener-G egg replacer, as i want to go with egg itself
1 egg Surekha.
[…] funfetti cookies and red velvet chocolate chip cookies are packed and ready for […]

VIEWS OF SPORT; Prop 48 Makes Athletes Study
By CLIFF SJOGREN; Cliff Sjogren is the former admissions director at the University of Michigan.
Published: March 12, 1989
It is probably true that the majority of entering freshmen in some colleges and universities in the United States know more than graduating seniors in others. The strength of American higher education is its diversity, which is characterized by widely differing standards and expectations at both the entry and degree-completion levels. Thus, any externally applied standard designed to bring conformity to the admission and academic achievement processes will be considered inappropriate or even unfair by some of the participants affected by the standardization.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association, a membership organization whose rules are made by those who must comply with them, is charged with establishing a set of minimum freshman eligibility standards that will apply to all of the N.C.A.A.'s approximately 550 Division I and II colleges and universities. Three years ago, a proposal I drafted while serving as admissions director at the University of Michigan became Proposition 48. Officially N.C.A.A. bylaw 14.3 under the new manual, it replaced a freshman eligibility rule that was markedly counterproductive to sound academic principles.
The need for such a bylaw was clear to me. Until 1986, recruited freshmen were eligible for athletic grants if they earned a school-computed 2.0 grade point average after either the sixth, seventh, or eighth semester of high school. High school officials merely reported the student-athlete's overall grade point average using whatever plan was applied to all students of the high school. In most schools, both academic and nonacademic courses are used to compute the average.
That ill-conceived standard proved to be a simple and efficient way to do the wrong thing.
Young student-athletes were sent the message that to become eligible for an athletic scholarship one should attend a weak high school and avoid rigorous courses. It was common practice for high school personnel, often under the guidance of an ambitious college recruiter, to advise promising athletes entering their senior year with borderline qualifications to elect few, if any, academic courses. Why take English, advanced algebra, and chemistry, one might ask, when weight lifting, fun with numbers, and bachelor living will satisfy the eligibility requirement?
High school counselors were caught. Should students be advised to elect a solid academic program as preparation for college work, or, take the easy path to achieve a satisfactory grade point average for college athletic eligibility? If the student-athlete was very big, very fast, or very accurate, the latter course usually was taken. And the expected happened. While many college staffs were quite creative in keeping students eligible for four years of competition, and embarrassingly high percentage of blue-chip athletes did not graduate from college.
Something had to be done. In 1982, as a member of the N.C.A.A. Academic Requirements Committee, I drafted a proposal to amend bylaw 5-1-(j) which subsequently became Proposal 48 of the 1983 N.C.A.A. Convention. The proposal was based on a simple educational principle: the best predictor of academic success is previous academic behavior. Thus, students who choose, for whatever reason, to go to college should take courses that will prepare them for the college academic experience.
A review of numerous public and independent college minimum admission requirements, as well as those mandated by state systems, revealed a pattern of college preparatory subjects that students should have successfully completed. That pattern consisted of at least three years of English and two years each of mathematics (at algebra level, and above), social sciences, and natural/physical science, including a laboratory experience. At least two additional academic credits should be completed. That course distribution plan became the core requirement of Prop 48.
As the last few years have shown, the standardized test requirement has become the most controversial aspect of Proposition 48. The test minimum of 700 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test or 15 on the American College Test with at least 2.0 in the core courses was intended as a secondary means of qualifying because it gave students who elected strong high school programs, late-bloomers, or students who attended schools with high standards a fair chance to qualify. That provision would, it was thought, encourage students to accept rather than avoid academic challenges.
Interestingly, my original draft of the bylaw provided for an exemption from the Scholastic Aptitude Test or the American College Test if the student earned at least a 2.5 grade point average in the core courses. The reason for this was to reduce the impact of a rigid test standard.
But the sponsors of the legislation, the President's Council of the N.C.A.A., chose to drop the 2.5 standard with the test exemption because of their fear of grade fixing, or grade inflation that might occur at the high school level. Thus, that part of the proposed rule that required the test became the only standard.

6-string & 7 string progressive metal players rejoice! This calibrated set of our Pegasus and Sentient humbuckers delivers the perfect blend of articulation and aggression.
The Pegasus/Sentient Set offers progressive players the ultimate palette of modern metal tones.
The Pegasus bridge was originally designed for extended range instruments. However, 6 string players immediately demanded we offer a version to call their own. It incorporates an alnico 5 bar magnet and custom winding specs. The goal was to deliver a warm, balanced, responsive, and lush tone for progressive metal. It's a harmonically rich pickup with a prominent midrange and a focused low end. The high resonant peak makes for a sparkly top end and an incredible "bloom" on chords in high-gain situations. The responsive and accurate pick attack ensures that you will cut through any live mix, and will have tight-tracking transients in a studio environment. Because the Pegasus is a moderate output pickup, it works as well for clean tones as it does for distorted tones.
The Sentient neck delivers a balanced, versatile tone that fits right between the '59 model and the Jazz neck pickup. You'll get pristine cleans and fluid leads under high gain. The Sentient is a very articulate vintage output pickup with great dynamic response and a wide harmonic range. It works great for low tunings in all humbucker-equipped guitars.
Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA, factory, the Pegasus and Sentient both feature an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.

After helping in 2014 and 2015 to launch Studio Mozaik and set the training curriculum and radio formats, Fondation Hirondelle continues in 2016 to support Studio Mozaik so that it can become a lasting factor in the Ivorian media scene. Fondation Hirondelle is therefore supporting the Studio Mozaik management in its efforts to implement a sustainability strategy, which includes developing activities and services for local operators.
Fondation Hirondelle contributed 100,000 Swiss francs to funding Studio Mozaik operations in 2016, and supports Studio Mozaik in its quest for new donors and partners.
History- Partnerships
After a June 2011 exploratory mission to Abidjan in the wake of the violent post-election crisis, Fondation Hirondelle was contacted in 2012 by the Ivorian organization Fondation Dr Peter Graze. This is an association set up by Ivorian media professionals and supported by Culture Counts, a German organization which set up training workshops in Côte d'Ivoire. These two organizations asked Fondation Hirondelle to help create a radio station that would contribute to peace and national reconciliation. This project was drawn up in early 2013 and named "Mozaik FM" to highlight the richness and diversity of Ivorian culture and peoples. In spring 2013, a first phase of the project was designed in the form of a training studio, in response to a European Union call for proposals. The "Studio Mozaik" project submitted to the EU by Culture Counts and Fondation Dr. Peter Graze-Côte d'Ivoire with Fondation Hirondelle expertise, was launched in 2014. After European Union project funding ended in December 2015, Studio Mozaik is continuing its activities in Côte d'Ivoire in 2016, as part of a transition phase that should help it find new sources of funding.
Why "Studio Mozaik" ?
Because Côte d'Ivoire is a mosaic of peoples, cultures, opinions, landscapes and above all cultural diversity, which constitutes a real source of richness and a real plus to overcome division and opposition.
It should be the cement with which to rebuild national unity, rather than a source of division.
"Mozaik", spelled phonetically to be simple and direct, like its programmes.

So the mass media's been giving us some mad love lately; which is nice. The latest was this morning's CBS Early Show featuring the Trek Allant in its "Perfect Gift" series. A killer bike with standard rack and full-cover fenders for that are standard for $540! This bike just so happens to be in stock now and there are probably a few at your local Trek Dealer. If not, ask them to order one for you. If you're looking for the fairer of the sexes, we have a women's model too. If you're looking to start commuting and green your routine, this is a fantastic place to start.

Villa Caneva is approved by Greek Tourism Organization with license number: 1041K10003016601.
Villa Caneva is a 120 sq. m. stone built villa, located on a hill surrounded by trees next to the village of Prines. Only 10 minutes away from Rethymno town and the beach this renovated villa was formerly an old traditional aqueduct built in the 1950s!
On the ground floor you will find the living room area with an indoor dinning table, a fully equipped kitchen and one bathroom with shower! The kitchen area has an exit to the barbecue area and the garden.
On the first floor, there are 3 bedrooms and one bathroom with a shower. Two bedrooms are double bedded with access to the veranda and the other hosts a bunk bed (2 joined single beds).
Outdoors close to the flower gardens and trees a private swimming pool with sun beds and umbrellas can be found. Also you will find a fully equipped barbecue area, many seating areas with view and a lot of space for children to play.
The whole area is fenced and secured by a security camera system directed at the main gate!
My name is Kostas Vasilakis and I have studied marketing and business management. Already being an owner of two successful villas and co-owner of designgraphic.gr, a well known web development company in Greece, I started to manage other villas in 2012.
I have the full management of all the villas that I represent, knowing everything about them and the areas in which they are located.
My aim is to help the homeowners to manage their vacation properties to their full advantage and guests to relax and have the finest holiday experience with 24/7 service providing advice and information for all their concerns throughout their stay.
Let me be your personal advisor for your holidays and let's start organising your trip in Crete together!
My company which called "etouri" is located in 271 Arkadiou Str. Rethymno, Crete and is approved by the Greek Tourist Organisation with license number: 1041E60610185001
In our opinion Villa Caneva's unique qualities are:
- Spacious fenced outdoor areas surrounded by trees and nature.
- Serenity with fabulous views.
- Great location, a feeling of privacy without actually being too far from anything. Only 300 m from the village of Prines with its cafe, taverns and a mini market, 5 minutes away from Atsipopoulo an even larger village with numerous amenities and 10 minutes from Rethymno and the beach!
- Bus to Rethymno is available.
- Full privacy in all outdoor areas as the villa is located on a hill.
- Ideal for families with children because of the outdoor layout. Children will have plenty of fenced space to play without being near to the pool.
- It's stone construction means that the house is always cool maintaining the same temperature.
- The hospitality of the owner who will be on hand if need be ready to help or give you advice!
Friendly and welcoming owner, beautiful Villa which was absolutely spotless.
Great location , Crete is so pretty with some stunning beaches.
Definitely up there as one of our best holidays to date:)
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Caneva it is a lovely villa beautifully maintained and very clean. The owner was extremely helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. The children loved the pool and garden and my wife and I loved the balcony in the evening overlooking the sea with beautiful colours in the sky as the sun went down. It was a short walk to the village where there was a couple of mini markets and a very hospitable taverna with good food. Getting to the beach was easy in the car, what more do you need!
I would highly recommend the villa as a choice for a relaxing holiday.
The villa is really a very nice place to live in. Situated in a quiet city (Prines), not far from the beaches and cooler than Rethymnon. The evenings are unforgattable : since 18 or 19 h the temperature decreases and it's fantastic. Everything you need is provided : congratulations to Elene et Nikos.
From the beautiful exposed stone to the intricate details, this villa is absolutely gorgeous. We stayed here for two weeks in July 2014, and loved every minute! Elena and Nikos - the owners - were very hospitable and helped us out no end, from their fresh eggs to their homemade treats they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their colleague Kostas was also very helpful and helped us to locate the villa very easily on arrival with clear instructions.
The villa is close to the beach and the town of Rethymnon and is well situated for exploring both the south and north coast of the island. There are also plenty of places to eat locally, with two taverns in Prines and great restaurants in the neighbouring villages.
The villa itself boasts speedy wi-fi, a gorgeous pool and great bbq area. There's plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the peaceful tranquility this villa has to offer - believe it our not, the villa is even more gorgeous in person than in the pictures. The building is beautifully restored and very pretty indeed. Out of all the places we've been lucky enough to visit, this was by far the most beautiful. The villa is spotless and has a great layout, providing space and intimacy for all guests. We visited with two teenagers, so this worked out really well for us.
We wouldn't hesitate to visit the villa again and would highly recommend it to all types of groups and parties, especially families with children of all ages! A car is worth investing in and provides a great opportunity to really explore the local area and discover the beautiful beaches of the south cost and the buzzing towns of the north coast.
A huge thank you to Nikos and Elena for a very enjoyable holiday, a gorgeous meal and all the treats you were kind enough to give us. We wish you every success in your new venture and hope it brings as much joy to others as it did to us!
Villa Caneva is situated outside the historic town of Rethymno, in the traditional village of Prines.
The village itself is beautiful, flourishing with flora and olive groves. A perfect option for those who appreciate nature and are looking for peace.
Being a small countryside village, Prines has only a few small shops however, your basic requirements will be met by the local mini-market, the traditional cafes and the excellent tavern almost 300 m away from our villa.
Staying in Prines village will give you the advantage of both countryside life and being less than 10 min away from Rethymno town by car.
The nearest beach is Koubes beach which is approximately 5 km away at the entrance of Rethymno town. This bustling town with its long sandy beach and its numerous amenities is only a 10 minutes drive (7km). An alternative option is the quieter sandy beach of Episkopi village approximately 10 km away on the road to Chania.
Due to the location of the villa, you also have the advantage of easily visiting the South coast where you can find some of Crete's truly amazing natural beaches such as "Schinaria", "Damnoni", "Triopetra", "Agios Pavlos" and 'Preveli'. The distance to the South coast is about 45 minutes from the villa by car.
PLEASE be advised that the villa may appear on a different 'location category' on HomeAway affiliate websites, depending on their categorised locations (each affiliate website has its own 'location categories').

Yuvaratna Nandamuri Balakrishna's 100th film, the Telugu historic drama "Gauthamiputra Satakarni", is slated for release on Thursday worldwide. He says he is confident about the project because his fans have always supported his desire to experiment."I derive my strength to experiment from the support I get from my fans. They push me to do something new every now and then," Balakrishna told IANS.
Talking about the film, which revolves around the unsung ruler of Satavahana dynasty, he said: "I consider myself extremely lucky to have been part of this story. I think it was my dad's (yesteryear actor NT Rama Rao) wish that I play Satakarni, a role which he couldn't take up due to various reasons."Balakrishna is all praise for his director Krish, who gathered information from anywhere he could to make the film."We had very little information on hand to make the film. Krish's research came in very handy and in the process, he met a lot of people which included professors of archaeology department and eminent historians among others," he said.
Balakrishna is in awe of Krish who, according to him, strives to make such different films."It's just his sixth film and you find each one is so different. A lot of people, including popular directors, give in to peer pressure and get easily stereotyped in the industry. Krish, on the other hand, keeps hopping genres and he's like Steven Spielberg of Telugu cinema," he said.Excited to have shared screen space with yesteryear Dream Girl Hema Malini, who plays his mother in the film, Balakrishna said she was supposed to work with his father."My father was very keen to rope her in for his film 'Sri Krishna Pandaveeyam', and had even sent my uncle to Mumbai to approach her. Unfortunately, she had signed a five-film deal with some production house, and hence, couldn't accept the offer," he recalled.

Nutrition and oral cancer

Epidemiologic evidence on the relationship between nutrition and oral cancer is reviewed. Ecologic and case-control studies provide most of the evidence regarding the nutritional epidemiology of oral cancer. The ecologic evidence is that the considerable geographic variation in the incidence of oral cancer is consistent with variation in nutrition. Because incipient oral cancer is likely to affect the diets of oral cancer patients, even before diagnosis, case-control studies are limited by their ability to extract comparable information from subjects regarding their pre-illness diets. The case-control evidence is that a diet that emphasizes fruit and vegetable intake may protect against oral cancer. However, this case-control evidence is not highly consistent; individual foods that appear protective in some studies do not in others, and the effects of diet appear to be modest when compared with those of smoking and alcohol consumption. The nutritional epidemiology of oral cancer is marked by two risk factors that appear far more powerful than nutrition: tobacco use and alcohol consumption. As these likely are related to nutrition, they pose as important potential confounders. Oral hygiene also may confound the association of nutrition and oral cancer risk; it is likely to be associated with dietary practice, and it has been shown to be related to oral cancer risk. Thus, studies of nutrition in the epidemiology of oral cancer also must address the effects of tobacco and alcohol consumption and oral hygiene.

WACO, Texas -- Orion Stewart knows what pundits are saying about his Baylor defense. He doesn't like it one bit.
Yes, the sophomore safety knows the Bears lost 13 letterwinners on his side of the ball. He gets why that is concerning. But the offseason buzz that Baylor's defense is a question mark is almost offensive to him.
"I hate it. We're going to show them this year," Stewart said. "Everywhere you look: 'Baylor's defense is not this good, it's not that great, it's the offense that wins the games.' They don't know that we're going to get it done."
No one is questioning a defensive line that Art Briles has called possibly the best in America. Middle linebacker Bryce Hager is a proven commodity and a preseason All-Big 12 selection. But it's the rest of the back seven, the Bears' linebackers and defensive backs, that raises eyebrows. The development of that group will decide whether Baylor can field another Big 12 title-caliber defense.
"We're in the proving business," BU defensive coordinator Phil Bennett said Tuesday before the team's first fall practice. "But they've played a lot of football, and they're talented."
As Stewart put it: "They'll know those guys by the end of the year."
Here's a closer look at exactly what Baylor is working with in the back seven. These are the names you'll need to know.
Weakside linebacker: Aiavion Edwards OR Taylor Young
What is Bennett looking for at this spot?
"Eddie Lackey. Remember him?" he joked.
Finding someone to match what the consensus All-Big 12 senior provided last season isn't easy, and Edwards will battle Young throughout August for the right to start.
Edwards, a sophomore, played in 12 games last season and saw his playing time increase when Hager went down, though he didn't crack the starting lineup.
"I like him a lot as a player," Hager said. "He brings physicality. He's really strong, makes plays happen in the middle, and breaks up blocks."
But Bennett is just as excited about Young, a 5-foot-11, 225-pound redshirt freshman from DeSoto, Texas. He wowed the coaching staff in spring ball.
"After looking at the spring cut-ups, Taylor Young is going to be hard to keep off the field," Bennett said. "He has a natural playmaker instinct. The guys I've had there had that ability."
Cornerback: Xavien Howard, Terrence Singleton
Baylor is entrusting its coverage at corner to two players who have never started a game. Bennett isn't scared for a second about that.
"I've coached a lot of NFL guys," he said. "They're NFL guys."
Howard and Singleton each played in 13 games last season and earned praise from Briles and teammates for the potential they've flashed in practice.
Howard, a sophomore from Houston, did pick off a pass in mop-up duty against Buffalo and isn't afraid to cover Antwan Goodley and the Bears' best weapons.
"He's a playmaker," Stewart said. "He's really good, always going against the best receivers. I feel like he's going to be ready."
Like Howard, Singleton is a third-year sophomore who got his first taste of game action last year after a redshirt season.
"He's fun to watch, in workouts especially," Hager said. "He's fast and quick and really athletic. He's going to help us out a lot."
Ryan Reid will also see the field, and juco transfer Chris Sanders is dealing with hamstring issues but should contribute. Bennett isn't ruling out playing freshmen Verkedric Vaughns, Jourdan Blake or Chance Waz, too.
But, again, only Reid (seven games) has any playing experience among the top backups.
Safety: Terrell Burt, Stewart
Stewart is ready to hold down the down safety spot after earning starts in two of Baylor's final four games last season. Bennett admitted he might be as underrated as the rest of these fresh faces.
"When we made the run to win it, Orion Stewart was a starter for us," Bennett said. "As we came down the back stretch to win the championship, Orion Stewart was huge. He injured his ankle in the Texas game, plays the whole half with a terrible injury, wasn't able to play in bowl game."
He's healthy now. So is Burt, who Bennett called "outstanding" for most of last season as his cover safety, with the exception of the Fiesta Bowl loss. He totaled 61 tackles and two interceptions, including one for a TD.
"He started 13 games with a torn labrum," Bennett said. "Terrell Burt is a football player."
Nickleback: Collin Brence
Never heard of him? That's understandable. The senior from Plano, Texas, has been a career special teams player who arrived at Baylor as a walk-on.
But there's just something about Brence that reminds Bennett of the last guy who held this "Bear" hybrid spot, Sam Holl. He's played in 29 games and learned plenty in the process.
"I'm comfortable with Collin Brence," Bennett said. "He's a coach's son. He's a football player."
If the season started today, Brence would be a starter. He proved he deserved the spot in spring ball. Most fans have probably never heard of him, but they'll find out soon.
"I don't care. I like him," Bennett said. "Nobody knew who Eddie Lackey was, either. But I tell ya, he's a coach's son. Looking at those tapes, he knows how to do it."

Chennai, Jan 23 (UNI) India's preparations for the Olympic qualifiers to be held at San Tiago in Chile in March, is all set to gain momentum with a five-match hockey test series against Belgium here from January 25.
The Test series against a strong Belgium, who have already qualified for the Beijing Olympics by defeating World Cup champions Germany in the European Qualifiers, will be the right kind of match exposure for the team's preparation for the March one to nine event in Chile.
''The Belgium team is already on a high after their defeat over Germany that earned them a direct berth for this year's Beijing Olympics. So the five-test matches will be a tough series for India'', Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) Secretary K Jyothikumaran told UNI.
''For the first time, the IHF is giving this kind of exposure as part of preparations for the Olympic Qualifiers, where it will be a two-horse race between India and Great Britain for just one slot'', he added.
After the Test series, the Indian team would travel to Perth for training cum competition. Apart from playing some matches with the local teams, India would also play some practice matches with China, which would also be coming to Perth at the same time for training.
''The training-cum-competition programme at Perth is aimed at fine tuning the team's preparations for Olympic qualifiers'', Mr Jyothikumaran said and added that the newly appointed Hockey Technical expert Ric Charlesworth would also join the team at Perth.
Considering that the junior team was doing exceptionally well in the ongoing eight-nation tournament at Kuala Lumpur, the IHF did not rule out some of the players, including penalty corner specialist Diwakar Ram, finding a place in the squad for the Chile event.
''The performance of the juniors is being closely watched and some players like Diwakar Ram are doing exceptionally well there.
Some of the juniors might find a place in the team for Olympic qualifiers'', he added.

Union Station (Gary, Indiana)

Gary Union Station
|General information
|Architectural style
|185 Broadway,
Gary, Indiana
|Design and construction
|M. A. Lang
Union Station in Gary, Indiana was built in 1910, just four years after the city was founded. The station is located between the elevated lines of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway and Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Built in a Beaux-Arts style utilizing the new cast-in-place concrete methods in which, after pouring, the concrete was scored to resemble stone.[1] Indiana Landmarks has placed the building on its 10 Most Endangered Places in Indiana list.[2]
The building faces west on Broadway. Because it sits between two raised rail lines, it is nearly invisible until one is next to it. The only sign still visible inside or outside the building is a painted notice on the front pillar that says "No Parking Cabs Only". The method of construction has retained its integrity after 50 years of abandonment.[3]
The main room is a two stories hall. At the east end of the hall is a staircase to the loading platform on the upper level. Built into a hill, the building is only a single story in the back. A door on the south side leads from a cobblestone driveway. Across the drive is a staircase built up to track level along the south side. On the north there is a tunnel under the tracks to a stairway up to the loading platform.[3]
Popular culture[edit]
Gary's Union Station was used as an example for what could happen to a Chicago building in 30 years without humans providing maintenance and upkeep on Life After People: The Series (Season 1, Episode 2).
Union Station was a filming location for the 1951 Alan Ladd movie Appointment with Danger.[4] This shows off a unique feature of the building not clearly visible in most photographs; the eight bar radial star design in each section of window, similar to the design of the British Union Flag. The similarity is probably accidental. Union Station was also featured in the 1996 film Original Gangstas where it served as the hideout for the gang known as The Rebels.

I'm crazy I know. Another story. I better finish another story but I just can't let this sit around. I've done something new this time and took one of my favorite Grimm story and changed it a bit. I usually make up my own. But let's see how this goes. Critic as much as you like! Please I need it.
Chapter 1: The Haughty Princess
Mornings are the worst for me, Princess Ruthia Lynet Salvadoro. My nurse, a grumpy old woman named Sue, awoke me by opening up the curtains to let the sun flash onto my face suddenly. Then she growled, "The sun's up, girl. You should be too." I always pulled the covers over my head, knowing that my nurse would just yank them back again.
"I'm awake!" I yelled when Sue drew away my protection.
"But you aren't up!" Sue shot back.
So I had to roll out of my silken bed and be dragged away to the mirror to be pampered over. Usually I'm too tired to resist as Sue tugged at my long curly brown hair until it was proper looking and plastered my face with all the cosmetics I needs to live up to my title as one the fairest maiden in all the land. I certainly am fair of face, with rosy cheeks, bright blue eyes, and an upturned freckled nose.
Along with my title as being one the fairest maidens in the land (Princess Katelyn still rivaled me) I had a better known title of being the haughtiest and the proudest. I don't know which I liked better. This is why at the age of eighteen I was still not married and not betrothed. No man would have me, and I would have no man.
When I was clad in the royal attire of satin and silk I would be sent to my etiquette class, alone. You see my two younger sisters, Esther and Loretta, were already happily married to lesser princes. So it was left to Madam Catalin (a very new teacher) to teach the princess what she already knew.
"When being introduced to a young man from a foreign country, how do you address him?"
"With an insult and a toss of my head of course," I scoffed, while lounged carelessly on the couch eating chocolates. My favorite is the one with the syrupy cherry in them.
Madam Catalin's face flamed. "How should you address him, princess?"
"Oh, that. Well, the books say I ought to tell him I'm pleased to meet him and ask how the weather is in his country, but that is not how I do it and I consider a most false and unrealistic address. Young men from foreign countries have no right, no privilege to even approach me. After all, they are aliens."
"They aren't aliens!" gasped the shocked madam.
So naive.
"An alien, Madam, according to the dictionary, is something foreign and strange. You stated yourself the young man is from a foreign country. To add to that I say they are strange and also extremely inadequate and quite unnecessary. Really, teach me something I don't know."
She couldn't so I was left to walk through my gardens unmolested, but to molest.
"Now, see here, you ugly thing, what are you cutting up that rose bush for?"
"It needs trimming your highness," stammered the pale gardener.
"Trimming shimming," I mocked. "I didn't tell you to trim it and it is my garden. Leave off, thou foul smelling fool. Don't come in here again and taint my beautiful garden. Only beautiful things may enter and you are far from it."
He really was ugly with a huge flat nose and a bald head.
The gardener wasn't the only person I fired from the castle. However I suspect my father the old king made sure all the molested servants were paid and given some other job where I could not see them.
One day as I was swinging lazily in a hammock in my lovely garden I was startled by the sudden appearance of a young man standing in the middle of my walk. He was not one of the servants for he was dressed grandly and had a royal ring on his finger.
"Who are you and how dare you come into my personal gardens?" I cried, sitting up abruptly. "It isn't proper at all for you to come upon a sleeping lady unawares. Away with you insolent knave!"
"Forgive me, milady," said the man tipping his hat. "I dare anything. But I could scarcely say you were sleep, for you were humming to yourself, and one hardly hums in their sleep. I am Prince Nathaniel of Durant, and you are?"
"Very annoyed!" I snapped, grabbing up my book. "I said away with you, knave, go or I shall call my guards and hit you with this book!"
"Don't damage the book, dear lady. T'would be a waste to use it on me when I mean you no harm. If you would just calm yourself and give me a name I will go."
"You want my name?" I scoffed. "I'm shocked that you don't know already. Everyone knows who I am. Therefore you are most unworthy to talk to me. Get away from here now, or I shall surely call my guards and command them to take you to the prison."
The prince looked surprised, and then he shrugged, and said, "I was simply walking around. But I have learned something. You really are as haughty as they say, Princess Ruthia. Good day."
"It was a good day until you spoiled it," I yelled at him as he strolled out of the gardens. But there was something about the way he had said the third sentence that made me wonder for a second. He had said in...not disgust as most did, but in determination or conviction. So strange.
Grumbling to myself about inadequate aliens I slipped back into my hammock, ready to sleep when I was suddenly pushed by Sue. Sue was the only one who was not afraid of me among the servants, and the only one who could stand my conduct with retorts and insults of her own. She had lived in the palace since the day of her birth, and had unquestioned and undesignated power to boss around the royalty. She is very annoying.
"Up, you lazy girl," she barked. "You've got to get dressed."
"I am dressed, hag, go away. I've a dream to finish."
"You've a social gathering to attend to, princess, and if you don't come at once your father will ground you from the gardens."
I opened my eyes to glare in surprise. Father had not wanted me to go to a ball ever since I declared to the whole assembly that no man was good enough for me. It had been after Lord Ralph had proposed to me in a most romantic way. But he had to big of a lips and I didn't like him. "Why is this ball so important that father would risk him losing his patience again? He knows I can't stand them and neither can he; when I'm there that is."
"No questions, just come and put on the azure."
"The azure from Froc?" I gasped, suddenly very interested. I had received the dazzling gown two months ago for my eighteenth birthday but had not been allowed to wear it, much to my disappointment.
"It's the only one you've got isn't it?"
I immediately jumped up, excited to dress up in such a fine dress. I had thought I'd never be able to wear it, since it was a ball gown and father was very strict. "Oh, I'll go and I shall the most beautiful one there! No one will be able to compete with Princess Ruthia when she is the azure. Nay, not even Princess Katelyn!"
Indeed even Princess Katelyn's eyes widened with envy when I swept into the room in my sparkling silver and azure gown, which shimmered down my slim body and matched my piercing sapphire eyes. My gorgeous dark brown hair fell down my back in a series of tiny curls with a net of jewels on my head. I smirked as all eyes turned to me and some gasped. I loved being beautiful.
"I'm so glad you came," smiled the king. He seemed very glad to see me, probably because I was in an exceptionally good mood and so was he. He took my hand gently and whispered, "You look beautiful darling. I have a surprise for you."
My eyebrow raised in disbelief. My father was hardly a man of surprises. "Oh really, and what is it, dear father?"
But he simply clapped his hands over the large assembly of young men and women. Immediately all the young unmarried men dashed to the side of the room and in seconds formed themselves into a long line. They were all marshaled in a row according to their rank and standing. First came the kings, then the grand-dukes, then the princes, the earls, the barons, and the gentry. I gaped in horror, realizing the trap I had just walked into.
"My dear daughter," said father out loud. "I have decided to give you the freedom of choosing your husband for yourself. Look well, and choose well. If you don't like him, be sure to have a good reason."
The Haughty Princess Ruthia was not about to be beat so easily.
"Have a reason for not liking them you say," I murmured, and a brilliant plan flashed through my head. I clamped my mouth into a sly sweet smile and glided towards the waiting suitors, who were all trying to look their best. I approached the first man, a king from the richest country known. He was looking at me expectantly and in awe.
"You," I said gently. "Are...too fat. A wine barrel. Sorry."
His double chin dropped.
Everyone looked at each other, in shock.
Let them talk about this for gossip.
I didn't give a second glance at him but moved onto the next one, the king known for his army. I hardly looked at him before declaring, "Good heavens must I jerk my head up to see your face? You are much too tall. Long and thin have little in their heads."
His tiny neighbor looked nervously at me and wasn't surprised when I stated, "You are too short." But he frowned when I added, "Short and thick is never quick."
And so I went down the line, insulting each one. Too pale, pale as death. Too red, a mere fighting cock. Not straight enough, a green log behind a stove. Uglier than mud. Slumped with too large of a rump. I was actually enjoying herself, for father had told me to give a reason, so I was legally insulting them. Oh the joy!
"Look," I cried and laughed when I spotted a king whose chin had grown a little crooked. "He has a chin like a thrush's beak! From now on, good sir I'll think of you as King Thrushbeard!"
I laughed and continued down the line. But I stopped suddenly when I came upon the prince I had encountered in the garden. I sneered in disgust and pleasure, knowing I had to think up of something very crude for him. But I hesitated as I took in his sturdy straight figure, tanned handsome expression, and confident air as he stared right back brashly. I frowned, realizing with reluctance that he was a bit harder than the others.
"Thou," I said frostily and formally, "Thy eyes are much too cold and full of rudeness and arrogance..."
"As are thine, milady," replied Prince Nathaniel quickly. But he said so softly only his neighbors and I caught it and they smirked.
I flushed angrily. I said loudly, "You are the worst of the whole lot, for all their faults combine to make you, a most unruly, boorish lad. I would rather marry a fool than marry you. But then again, you are a fool."
I was about to move on, and begin with the earls but father suddenly stopped me and said through his clenched teeth, "Methinks you've had enough fun for one day, my daughter."
I smiled charmingly at all the suitors I disposed of in one day. "Indeed I have," I smirked. "Thank-you father for a most delightful surprise." I tossed my beautiful curls and glided gracefully out of the room.

A Panel Study of Investment: Sales, Cash Flow, the Cost of Capital, and Leverage
This article compares the investment spending for each of 396 corporations during the late 1980s and early 1990s to projections of their spending derived from several basic models of investment. According to these models, capital spending, on average, adheres closely to output, profits, and the cost of capital. The pattern of average forecast errors derived from the statistical models does not correspond very closely to measures of indebtedness, liquidity, size, or type of business. It is not surprising that these variables should influence capital spending so little, once the general business climate (represented by sales or cash flow) has been taken into account.
For the making of economic policy, the evidence suggests that the familiar macroeconomic incentives for investment would be no less effective today than they have been in the past. In particular, the volume of investment spending would appear to respond to monetary and fiscal policies in the customary way. Despite their potential differences, the models agree that monetary or fiscal policy must be unusually aggressive to increase investment spending substantially when the rate of growth of GDP is unusually low.

2003 Pontiac Bonneville Questions
Get answers to questions about your 2003 Pontiac Bonneville at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
I've had several people look at it. Not the oil, not a piston. Two people said could be a broke flywheel but my car still starts and drives. They also said the noise is not coming from the engine. The other two people said it's the motor and I'm out of a car. Any ideas what this could be?
I've had this problem for over a year now. sometimes car idle smoothly, others it chugs hard, almost stalls itself out/ battery fluctuates. When accelerating easy it runs normal. when accelerating heavy there is a loud chirping/ squeeking noise, then the engine shakes violently, and has very little power. Replaces MAF sensor/ air filter one year ago. Spark plugs/ fuel filter 2 years ago.
is a Pontiac Bonneville 2003 i bought the part i just need the old removed and new put in.
thought wheel sensor but checked with ohm meter and all seem to be working. Any ideas?
I have a 2003 Pontiac bonneville that started out shifting into 2&3 gear hard and over reving so I got some Lucus trans fluid that stoped slips and the next day I pulled up to a stop sighn and when I pushed the gas to go car wouldn't move in any gear. So I shut the car off and re started it and put it in drive and it worked fine but it keeps doing it now what do you think it is?
I replaced the crankshaft and camshaft sensor we have fuel going thru and spark fuel pump is good it turns over but just won't start it happened from one day to the next it was working fine.
We have had a continuous battle with water from the AC system draining to the interior passenger floor. What may be the best solution to clear this up?
Then noticed the message center stopped displaying any info.
Would the missing belt have caused this to happen?

Vairocana is considered the representation of the universal Buddha Shakyamuni, a living personification of all the historical Buddhas throughout time. While he is often shown in dharmachakramudra, symbolizing his close identification with the teaching Buddha, the present example is more unusual in that he holds a flaming chakra, conveying the same idea.
