Regular heartburn is the main symptom of GERD. Heartburn is a feeling of burning behind the breastbone. It can occur at anytime, but is often aggravated by overeating or lying down after a big meal. Many also have regurgitation, a feeling of food and fluid moving back up the throat or into the mouth.
The fluids from the stomach can cause:
- Sour or bitter taste in the back of mouth or throat
- Feeling of a lump in the throat
- Burping
- Bloating
- Bad breath
The regular reflux of stomach acid can cause irritation of the tissue and other structures of the throat. This irritation can lead to other symptoms, such as:
- Sore throat
- Chronic laryngitis
- Chronic cough
- Wheezing or trouble breathing
- Excessive clearing of throat
Infants with GERD may also have recurrent vomiting. This can affect their ability to get proper nutrition and slow growth and development.
Long-term complications of GERD may include:
- Inflammation of the esphagus—esophagitis
- Bleeding and ulcers in the esophagus
- Narrowing of the esophagus—esophageal stricture
- Dental problems, which may occur because of the effect of stomach acid on tooth enamel
- Asthma attacks
- During sleep, acid refluxes from the stomach into the throat, then drains into the lungs—aspiration pneumonia
- A precancerous condition that can lead to esophageal cancer— Barrett's esophagus
- Esophageal cancer
The muscles of the esophagus can tighten or spasm. This can cause pain that radiates through the chest and back, similar to how a heart attack may feel. Do not assume that chest pain is an esophageal spasm.
If you have chest pains or other symptoms of a possible heart attack, call for emergency medical services right away.
- Squeezing or chest pressure
- Pain in the left shoulder, left arm, or jaw
- Trouble breathing
- Sweating, clammy skin
- Nausea
- Weakness
- Lightheadedness
- Pain that starts during activity or stress
- Feeling of impending doom

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
University of Texas freshman Demarcus Holland has been earning more playing time as the season has progressed. He has consistently shown the ability to be a solid perimeter defender all year. But lately, Holland has added to his game and his increased confidence has led to an expanded role with the Longhorns.
In the Feb. 9 home loss to No. 22/24 Oklahoma State, the 6-2, 170-pound guard from Garland, Texas (Naaman Forest HS) showed glimpses of why Texas head coach Rick Barnes thinks so highly of him. Holland played a career-best 35 minutes and recorded a career-high 13 points while converting 5-of-11 field goals and 3-of-3 free throws. He added two assists and a steal against the Cowboys.
Holland showed off his quickness by getting into the lane multiple times and finishing at the rim. On one occasion, teammate and fellow freshman Javan Felix gathered the ball off an OSU turnover and threw it ahead to Holland, who caught the ball outside the three-point line with a defender trailing close behind. One dribble and two steps later, the trailing defender watched the deceptively athletic Holland throw down a one-handed dunk.
Barnes took notice of Holland's play and effort. He rewarded him with the start in UT's next game on Feb. 13 against Iowa State, and Holland has remained in the starting lineup for the last four games entering Wednesday's home game against Oklahoma (Feb. 27).
Holland spent most of this season serving as a backup point guard to Felix out of necessity, even though Holland never played the point before coming to Texas. Due to UT's lack of depth at the position because of Myck Kabongo's 23-game NCAA suspension to start the year, Barnes and the UT coaching staff were forced to throw Holland into the proverbial fire.
Holland's effort on the defensive end combined with his overall athletic ability earned him additional time off the ball at the two-guard position. In each of UT's last seven contests entering Wednesday's home game against Oklahoma, Holland has seen at least 21 minutes of action.
"Demarcus is a great guy and a team player," said freshman forward Ioannis Papapetrou. "He's someone who is going to play hard every day, be unselfish and only care about helping the team win. His work ethic is amazing. Demarcus really works hard every day. He makes no exceptions and no excuses."
Coming into the season, the Texas coaching staff was not sure if Holland was going to get much playing time and considered redshirting him. However, after just one day of practice in summer workouts, Barnes was convinced Holland could contribute immediately.
"Coming in, we thought he might be a guy we would redshirt just because of his build." Barnes admitted recently. "But after the very first practice I knew, and I remember telling the other coaches, 'We can't redshirt him because we need his effort and intensity. This guy has to play.'
"What makes Demarcus so special is he knows how to play and make an impact on the game even when he doesn't have the ball in his hands," Barnes continued. "What he brings defensively is exactly what a coach wants all of his players to bring."
Holland's consistency, hard work and intensity has paid off. He now finds himself has a key contributor and emerging leader for a young Texas team. But Barnes knows Holland is capable of much more.
"The more you watch a guy like Demarcus Holland play, the more you realize he's a basketball player," Barnes said. "He has a good offensive skill set and can really shoot the ball. He hasn't proven it yet under the lights, but he's been working on it really hard all year. I know he can shoot it and score a lot of points for this team. He just needs to keep gaining confidence."

According to legend, tres leches ("three milks") cake became popular in Latin America when the Nestle company printed the recipe on cans of its condensed milk.
Michael Cordúa, one of Food & Wine's Best New Chefs, served this version at the American Express Skybox during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, an exclusive lounge where AMEX cardholders could catch spring's hottest runway shows. Guests of the Skybox were able to sip on champagne and munch on delectable treats like this one as part of a menu curated from Food & Wine's Best New Chefs All-Star Cookbook - it's light, supremely moist and topped with billowy swirls of meringue.
- Unsalted butter, for greasing
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup whole milk
- One 14-ounce can sweetened
- condensed milk
- One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large egg whites
- Pinch of cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 300°. Butter a 9-inch square cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder. In another medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the egg whites at medium high speed until soft peaks form. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar at medium-high speed until pale and thickened, about 3 minutes. At low speed, beat in the whole milk, then beat in the flour mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the beaten egg whites until no white streaks remain.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven for about 45 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the cake cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Using a fork, poke holes all over the cooled cake. In a large bowl, whisk the condensed milk with the evaporated milk, heavy cream and vanilla. Spoon the milk mixture all over the top of the cake, allowing the cake to absorb it before adding more. Let the cake stand for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the meringue In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with ¼ cup of water and simmer over moderate heat, without stirring, until the syrup reaches 238° on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. In a standing mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar at medium speed until foamy. Continue to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually drizzle in the hot syrup and beat at high speed until the meringue just holds stiff, glossy peaks. Beat in the vanilla.
- Pour off any excess milk from the cake. Invert the cake onto a platter. Swirl the meringue decoratively over the top of the cake. Using a kitchen blowtorch, lightly brown the meringue, then serve.
Make ahead: The cake can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Make the meringue and finish the cake the day of serving.
Total Time:
Active: 45 min; Total: 2 hr plus 2 hr cooling makes one 9-inch square cake

When you think about your state of fitness, do you tend to look back, look to the future, or focus on where you are right now? How you answer that question goes a long way to determining how quickly and how effectively you can reach higher levels of health and fitness.
When you think about your state of fitness, do you tend to look back, look to the future, or focus on where you are right now?
How you answer that question goes a long way to determining how quickly and how effectively you can reach higher levels of health and fitness.
Those who look back usually have the least amount of success. They're the ones who say things like, "Back when I was in my 20s, I weighed such-and-such." Or, "Back when I played football, I was so much stronger and in much better shape." Or, "Before I had my kids, I had a flat stomach and I ran marathons."
Unfortunately, once we turn 30, we will never be in our 20s again. Also, we will probably never match the athletic prowess we possess when we're in our prime. Furthermore, a pregnancy changes a woman's body in many ways, and some of them are irreversible.
But none of those circumstances should lead a person to give up hope or stop trying to improve. Nor should they be used as an excuse for failure to set and achieve fitness goals.
Furthermore, do you really want to sound like person who always yearns for the "good old days" and bemoans the fact that "nothing is as good today as it used to be." Remember, if you're constantly looking back, you can't see where you're going.
Almost as bad as looking back, is focusing too much on the here and now. They're the people who get too caught up in their recent accomplishments. "I just lost 50 pounds. I feel great. I don't need to watch what I'm eating anymore." Or, "My pants are fitting much better now. I don't have to work out as hard anymore."
Meeting a fitness goal is an accomplishment that should be celebrated … for a moment. Pat yourself on the back and be proud of what you've done. But don't dwell on it. And don't let it stop you. Move on, and move on quickly.
The problem with focusing too much on what you've accomplished today is the fact that today is fleeting. It's gone almost as quickly as it arrives. And then, before you know it, it's yesterday and then last week and last month. And then you become the person who starts looking back: "I felt great when I lost that 50 pounds. Now I've put 10 back on."
To avoid that pitfall, and to live a life that has no limits, start looking to the future. The people who do that, no matter how many goals they've already accomplished, are always looking to the next challenge. "I just lost 20 pounds; now I want to lower my body fat percentage." Or, "I just ran my first 5K; now I want to train for a half marathon." Or, "I just got faster; now I want to be stronger."
These people don't let age or past accomplishments dictate what they can and can't do. These are the people who are constantly improving, not just in body, but in mind and spirit, too.
So, stop looking back and stop standing still. Open your eyes, look ahead and imagine the possibilities.

To help get kids outside, the Apple Gourd project is working on the creation of a community garden and a natural play area on a piece of land north of the Redwood Valley Middle School/High School campus – where the FFA garden and community gardens are currently.
A group of community members sitting around a table in the meeting room of the Redwood Falls Public Library talked about outdoor activities they enjoyed as children.
Whether it was climbing trees or playing house in the grove, those memories brought smiles to the faces of those recalling them.
Today's kids are not making those memories, but a new project in the Redwood Area hopes to change that.
Called the Apple Gourd project, the initiative has been established to address the needs of low income families with children ages zero to five and pregnant moms to help them understand the value of eating healthy, finding ways to access healthy foods and getting active.
"Kids like to play outside," said Michelle Breidenbach. "They are just so distracted by technology."
To help get kids outside, the Apple Gourd project is working on the creation of a community garden and a natural play area on a piece of land north of the Redwood Valley Middle School/High School campus – where the FFA garden and community gardens are currently.
Breidenbach, who served as the grant manager for a Blue Cross and Blue Shield planning allocation the Red-wood Area Early Childhood Coalition received, said the group who put the plan together worked to develop a plan that would best serve the community and would help get the community active in working together for a common cause.
"So many kids are nature deprived," Breidenbach said. "We need to find ways to get them outside."
She said there are so many benefits to getting outside that it just makes so much sense to encourage that whenever it is possible.
The planning group held a meeting this past Thursday at the Redwood Falls Public Library to let the community know what it has been working on and also to recruit additional people to help with the next stages of the Apple Gourd project.
A $60,000 Blue Cross and Blue Shield grant has been given to the early childhood coalition to implement the plan, and the project is eligible to potentially receive two more years of funding, including $50,000 in the second year and $40,000 in the third year.
To help the public see the vision for the project, Allan Bakke of Western Commun-ity Action in Marshall presented information about Community Blooms – a community garden project which was established in Marshall.
"We are in our third year of the garden and it continues to grow," said Bakke.
In the first year, the garden produced 2,000 pounds of food, with half being given to those involved and the other half donated to the food shelf. The second year saw a major increase with 12,000 pounds of fresh produce harvested, with 6,000 pounds given to the families and 6,000 donated to the food shelf.
Bakke said the group anticipates 18,000 pounds of produce in the third year.
Not only was the garden developed to produce healthy food for low income families, it was also intended to be a place where healthy relationships could be established and nurtured.
Bakke said there have been opportunities for kids, families and people of all ages and walks of life to get involved with each other.
"It is amazing how many kids have no concept of what a garden is," Bakke said. "When they get in-volved they are wide-eyed with wonder when they see things growing they planted."
The local group is hoping to take that same idea and utilize it in Redwood Falls, with the intention of expanding the garden and natural play area concepts to the other communities in the Redwood Area School District, including the Lower Sioux community, Morton and Belview.
There are opportunities for people to get involved with the project through five work groups, including site preparation, referral and recruitment of families who would benefit from the project, promotion and marketing, education and the natural play area.
Breidenbach stepped down from the role of grant manager, and Pam Prouty has agreed to take on that role as the project moves forward. Those who have an interest in the initiative can contact Prouty or Teri Smith.

Slatky, Trinity skaters ice SalemBy MARK QUIRK
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 14. 2013 12:08AM
SALEM - The way the Trinity High School hockey team has been playing recently one goal seems like enough for it to win most games.
The Pioneers got two in the first period and added two more in the final 37 seconds to pull off a 4-0 win over Salem in a battle of Division I contenders at the Icenter on Wednesday.
"Salem is a very good team," Trinity coach Mike Connell said. "We're happy with the win."
It was the second loss in as many days for the Blue Devils, who were once No. 1 in the league and now stand at 9-5-1. Trinity has a nine-game unbeaten streak and improved to 11-3-1.
The combination of Drew Merrick and Kyle Valliere provided enough offense for the Pioneers and Ryan Slatky stopped all 27 shots he faced to pick up the shutout.
Valliere finished with two goals and an assist, Merrick had a goal and an assist and Mitch Myers had the other goal, an empty-netter with 37 seconds left.
Valliere added another tally after that with just four seconds left when he beat Salem goalie Nick Phair with a wrist shot from the point.
"They played well and Kyle played well defensively," Connell said. "The other lines, hopefully they'll start putting the puck in the net because we need a little more offense."
The banged up Blue Devils were coming off an overtime loss to Manchester Central and missing a few players, most notably Jake Pappalardo, who is out for the season with an arm injury.
Phair finished with 26 saves, but Salem just couldn't generate the offense it needed to beat Slatky and the stingy Trinity defense.
"It was a terrible first period," Salem coach Mark McGinn said. "Two-nothing right there and that was pretty much it until the end. We've come out like that a lot this year and it really hasn't killed us. Today it hurt."
Merrick got the scoring started when he scored to make it 1-0 with 9:13 left in the first, and then Valliere made it 2-0 with 4:42 remaining. The linemates assisted on each other's goal.
The Blue Devils found their legs in the second period and played the Pioneers more evenly. After a scoreless second, it was the same for most of the third until the final minute.
McGinn called a timeout with 48 seconds left in regulation and pulled Phair to give him six skaters. Just seconds later Myers picked off the puck at his own blue line and skated in alone for the empty-net goal.
Valliere's final tally came off a faceoff in the Salem zone that was won back to him for the shot.
"I think we were a little fortunate to catch these guys a little bit on the tired side," Connell said. "I think we came out real fast, but we didn't come out in the second period like I had hoped and we were fortunate we were still up 2-0 going into the third."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government says Standard & Poor's knowingly inflated its ratings on risky mortgage investments that helped trigger the 2008 financial crisis.
The credit rating agency gave high marks to mortgage-backed securities because it wanted to earn more business from the banks that issued the investments, the Justice Department alleges in civil charges filed in federal court in Los Angeles.
The government is demanding that S&P to pay at least $5 billion in penalties.
The case is the government's first major action against one of the credit rating agencies that stamped their approval on Wall Street's soon-to-implode mortgage bundles. It marks a milestone for the Justice Department, which has long been criticized for failing to act aggressively against the companies that contributed to the crisis.
S&P, a unit of New York-based McGraw-Hill Cos., called the lawsuit "meritless."
"Hindsight is no basis to take legal action against the good-faith opinions of professionals," the company said in a statement. "Claims that we deliberately kept ratings high when we knew they should be lower are simply not true."
According to the lawsuit, S&P knew that home prices were falling and that borrowers were having trouble repaying loans. Yet these realities weren't reflected in the safe ratings S&P gave to complex real-estate investments known as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations.
At least one S&P executive who had raised concerns about the company's proposed methods for rating investments was ignored.
S&P executives expressed concern that lowering the ratings on some investments would anger the clients selling these investments and drive new business to S&P's rivals, the government claims.
"Put simply, this alleged conduct is egregious — and it goes to the very heart of the recent financial crisis," Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference Tuesday.
Holder called the case "an important step forward in our ongoing efforts to investigate and punish the conduct that is believed to have contributed to the worst economic crisis in recent history."
Joining the Justice Department in the announcement were attorneys general from California, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Iowa and Mississippi, who have filed or will file separate, similar civil fraud lawsuits against S&P.
On Tuesday, California's attorney general filed a lawsuit in San Francisco Superior Court claiming that S&P's inflated ratings on risky mortgage bonds cost the state's public pension funds and other investors billions of dollars.
More states are expected to sue, the Justice Department said.
Rating agencies are widely blamed for contributing to the financial crisis that caused the deepest recession since the Great Depression. They gave high ratings to pools of mortgages and other debt assembled by big banks and hedge funds. Their ratings gave even risk-averse investors the confidence to buy them.
Some investors, including pension funds, can buy only investments with high ratings. In effect, rating agencies like S&P greased the assembly line that allowed banks to package and sell risky mortgages that generated huge profits.
When the housing market collapsed in 2007, the agencies acknowledged that mortgages issued during the bubble were far less safe than the ratings had indicated. They lowered the ratings on nearly $2 trillion worth, spreading panic that spiraled into a crisis.
In its statement Tuesday, S&P said its ratings "reflected our current best judgments" and noted that other rating agencies gave the same high ratings. It said the government also failed to predict the subprime mortgage crisis.
But the government says the company delayed updating its ratings models, rushed through the ratings process and kept giving high ratings even after it knew the subprime market was flailing.
The complaint includes a trove of embarrassing emails and other evidence that S&P analysts saw the market's problems early:
— In 2007, an analyst who was reviewing mortgage bundles forwarded a video of himself singing and dancing to a song written to the tune of "Burning Down the House": "Going — all the way down, with/Subprime mortgages." The video showed colleagues laughing at his performance.
— A PowerPoint presentation that year said being "business friendly" was a core component of S&P's ratings model."
— In a 2004 document, executives said they would poll investors as part of the process for choosing a rating. One executive asked, "Does this mean we are to review our proposed criteria changes with investors, issuers and investment bankers? ... (W)e NEVER poll them as to content or acceptability!" The executive's concerns were ignored, the government said.
— Also that year, an analyst complained that S&P had lost a deal because its standards for a rating were stricter than Moody's. "We need to address this now in preparation for the future deals," the analyst wrote.
The lawsuit comes just 18 months after S&P cut its rating on long-term U.S. government debt by a notch. The downgrade followed a contentious debate between the White House and Congress over the raising of the government's borrowing limit that was resolved at the last hour.
Holder was asked about a possible link between the lawsuit and the downgrade.
"There's no connection," Holder said, who added the department's investigation began in 2009.
At the news conference, acting Associate Attorney General Tony West said documents "make clear that the company regularly would 'tweak,' 'bend,' delay updating or otherwise adjust its ratings models to suit the company's business needs." He said that in 2007, S&P issued ratings it "knew were inflated at the time they issued them."
S&P countered that the emails were "cherry picked," that they were "taken out of context, are contradicted by other evidence, and do not reflect our culture, integrity or how we do business."
It said the government left out important context. For example, one email that says deals "could be structured by cows" and then rated by S&P was unrelated to the types of investments at issue in the government's lawsuit, S&P said. It said the analyst's concerns were addressed before a rating was issued.
The lawsuit alleges that S&P knew the subprime mortgage market was collapsing by 2006, yet it didn't issue a mass downgrade of subprime-backed securities until mid- 2007. The mortgages were performing so poorly "that analysts initially thought the data contained typographical errors," according to one document cited in the lawsuit.
In a 2007 email, another analyst said some at S&P wanted to downgrade mortgage investments earlier, "before this thing started blowing up. But the leadership was concerned of p(asterisk)ssing off too many clients and jumping the gun ahead of Fitch and Moody's."
The government's case sides with critics of rating agencies who have long argued that the agencies suffer from a conflict of interest. Because they're paid by the banks that create investments they're rating, the agencies had to compete for banks' business. If one agency appeared too strict, banks could shop around for a better rating.
S&P typically charged $150,000 for rating a subprime mortgage-backed security and $750,000 for certain other securities. If S&P lost the business to Fitch or Moody's, its main competitors, the analyst who issued the rating would have to submit a "lost deal" memo explaining why he or she lost the business.
The government charged S&P under a law intended to make sure banks invest safely. If S&P is found to have committed civil violations, it could face not only fines but also limits on how it does business. There are no criminal charges, which would require a higher burden of proof.
McGraw-Hill shares dropped $2.72, or 5.4 percent, to $47.58 in morning trading Tuesday after plunging nearly 14 percent on Monday after the lawsuit was first reported.
Shares of Moody's Corp., the parent of Moody's Investors Service, another rating agency, lost $1.05, or 2.2 percent, to $48.40 in morning trading Tuesday after closing down nearly 11 percent on Monday.

The Odin Project launched a new online education program that offers aspiring web developers free online training. The project itself is targeted at total beginners, where they can learn web development for free.
The Odin team differentiates itself from other online resources (which either teach a narrow set of concepts or only go part way) by trying to lay out a "complete path" to take a student from being a total newbie to becoming hireable as a junior web developer.
The new training program includes a structured curriculum and offers the 1,000 hours of coding to train students to the point where they become employable.
The Odin Project was designed to give those with limited (money) resources a clear path to becoming hirable web developers with a high-quality education.
Today the Odin Project curriculum includes Web Development 101, Ruby programming, Ruby on Rails, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and a session on getting hired.
Project founder Erik Trautman says that the Odin Project was named after the Norse god, whose thirst for knowledge was legendary.
"Web developers who can build with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript are in demand like never before, but students who are interested in learning those skills often must choose to spend more than $10,000 for a coding bootcamp or up to $200,000 for a Computer Science degree. Alternatively, they set out on their own with limited guidance on the best way achieve the necessary education," said Trautman.

Arrange pepperoni in single layer on paper towel. Cover with another paper towel and layer sopresatta on towel. Top with another paper towel and microwave on highest power until meat begins to render fat, about 1 minute. Set meat aside. I have drained a 12-oz jar, each, of roasted red peppers, and pepperoncini. I love pepperoncini, and they're a great condiment to add to a sandwich-- and that's why I usually have a jar on hand. I like to roast my own red bell peppers, but once in a while I buy them in a jar for a quick shortcut.
Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and are lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
Transfer to large bowl and cool. At this point, I could have just eaten the entire bowl of mushrooms!
In fact, I'm going to make just the mushrooms for a tasty Friday Happy Hour snack. But, back to the pasta salad... drain the cooked pasta and return it to the pot. ATK's Tip #2: adding vinegar and dressing to hot pasta will help the flavors to absorb faster (I do this when making my German potato salad).
TASTING NOTES: Since I'm not a big fan of pepperoni, I found that flavor to be a little too dominant for my own personal taste. However, my husband and son loved this recipe. They thought the pepperoni ratio was just right for them-- so adjust according to your personal preference. I picked out the mushrooms and ate them with great relish, they are that good. This salad is hearty enough as a main dish, but could also be a side dish. From start to finish, this salad took over an hour to prepare. I would definitely make it again, especially for a potluck. It's flavorful, colorful and I think it would be a big hit.
The printable recipe for this delicious salad is at the bottom of this post. This recipe was originally printed in the October 2007 issue of Cook's Country, which I also subscribe to.
Enjoying my weekend in the kitchen,

NEW YORK (AP) — After 17 seasons on "The Bachelor" (plus eight seasons on "The Bachelorette" and three on "Bachelor Pad"), host Chris Harrison says one thing makes Sean Lowe stand out from the others — and it's not his washboard abs.
It's the way Lowe makes the women on the ABC dating show feel, Harrison says. On the show, which airs Mondays (8 p.m. EST), single women live in a house together and compete for the affection of a single man.
Lowe "has this incredible way of making you feel like you're the only person in the room," Harrison said in a recent interview. "That's a great quality, and the thing is, it's sincere.
"It's not an act with him, and what really makes the difference is his sincerity. His charm and his charisma makes these women feel like, 'This is it, like we could literally stop this date and go get married.' I don't think I've ever seen a season where so many relationships are so sincere and serious and that could only lead to one thing: a very combustible situation."
Lowe, who is from Dallas, tried to win Emily Maynard's heart last season on "The Bachelorette."
He ended up in third place, and although he didn't walk away with the girl, he did leave with a friendship with finalists Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Jef Holm. Luyendyk appeared on the first episode of "The Bachelor" to give Lowe support.
Harrison says that while male contestants tend to bond, women tend to bicker and conspire against one another.
"The way they are manipulative and they fight, and they try to win — that's them," he said. "And when you shine a light on it maybe it's not so pretty, but that happens in every bar and church and library in America when people are getting together and it's just exploited to the nth degree on 'The Bachelor.'"
But, he adds: "It's an extraordinary situation, too. I mean, I'm gonna come to their defense a little bit. They're all dating the same guy. But ... the guys seem to have this ... camaraderie, and we're pretty simple animals. ... I think women are much too, way too dynamic and smart for this game, where guys are like, 'Whatever, OK.' So I think it's geared easier for men than for women, who I think are just way too much of too many personalities piled into one house."
Harrison said he's learned that people end up showing their true colors on reality television.
"One thing about this show that I find incredibly compelling ... is you can't save people from themselves ultimately. Their personalities will shine through."

As part of their Catholic School's Week 2013 celebration (Jan. 27 to Feb. 2), students throughout the BHMS building were allowed to wear street clothes instead of their regular school uniform polos and slacks on Tuesday (Jan. 29), if they brought in a food item for donation to the Chillicothe House of Prayer. Needless to say, the incentive worked. The BHMS fifth and sixth grade class (above) took the goods to House of Prayer on their way to help out in their kitchen late Tuesday morning.

Everyday, countless volunteers donate their time and energy to help older adults, persons with disabilities or behavioral health needs in Kansas.
Everyday, countless volunteers donate their time and energy to help older adults, persons with disabilities or behavioral health needs in Kansas.
The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) would like to thank those who are making a difference.
Secretary Shawn Sullivan announced Friday the department is beginning a Volunteer of the Month recognition program.
Each monthly winner will receive a check for $50 and a $20 Walgreens gift card.
"Although many of the volunteers around Kansas expect nothing in return for their hard work and dedication, we want them to know how much they are appreciated," Sullivan said. Beginning January 2013, KDADS will select a Volunteer of the Month. The winner will be chosen from nominations submitted to the department.
Volunteers will be considered based on the following criteria:
Outstanding performance in volunteer duties
High level of willingness to help others
Strong commitment to the volunteer program
Good relationships with those the volunteer helps
KDADS is partnering with Walgreens because of the company's commitment to hiring persons with disabilities. Learn more at http://www.walgreens.com/topic/sr/disability_inclusion_home.jsp
To nominate a Volunteer of the Month, go to www.kdads.ks.gov. Nomination forms are also available at the front desk of the New England building, 5th and Kansas Avenue, in Topeka. Winners will be notified by phone and email the first week of the following month in which they were nominated.

Police seek Cheez-It thief who punched clerk in face
May 07. 2013 2:05PM
MANCHESTER - Police are looking for a man who punched a convenience store clerk in the face after he was caught shoplifting a bag of Cheez-Its.
The incident happened Monday at TN Convenience, 90 Bridge St.
Officer Jacob Tyler was on patrol when he stopped to check on the business. When he pulled up, the clerk came out to tell him he had just been punched in the face. The officer noted redness around the clerk's eye.
The clerk told Tyler he saw a man go out the door after hiding a three-ounce bag of Cheez-It in his pants. The clerk confronted him outside, the two got into a struggle, and the shoplifter punched him in the face and then ran off.
The thief is described as a white man, 6-foot to 6-foot-2 and weighing about 220 to 230 pounds. He wore a black hat and black shirt, both with white designs on them. He also wore black jean shorts with a white belt and white socks.
A man and a woman were also with him, the clerk said. Police located them in front of the Carpenter Memorial Library, 405 Pine St.
One of them, April Skinner, 18, of 800 Union St., was arrested after police say she became agitated, repeatedly shouted obscenities and refused to quiet down, drawing the attention of others inside the library.
She was arrested after a brief struggle with officers on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Police said they expect to obtain warrants for the arrest of the shoplifter, who they declined to identify.

General Comments: Futures were high as traders got ready for the export sales report today and the USDA reports tomorrow. It was mostly a consolidation trade yesterday. Many are worried about a bearish surprise as prices have gotten much stronger in the last week. Bears point to increasing certified stocks levels for reasons to be bearish. Demand bulls noted positive economic data released last week and positive economic data in general as a reason to buy. However, export sales reports showed some reason for worry last week as sales were down and China cancelled some recent purchases. The current low new crop prices are bringing into question what farmers in Texas and the Delta and Southeast will plant this year. Some are wondering if planted area might be lower this year here in the US due to weak prices against competing crops. The area lost would go mostly to Corn and Soybeans. Current weather featured some precipitation in Delta and Southeast areas, but western Texas was mostly dry. Delta and Southeast areas will be dry. Ideas are that the market can continue to work higher overall.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see showers and rain tomorrow and Friday, then a dry weekend. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Texas will get dry weather, although eastern areas could see very light precipitation today and tomorrow. Showers are possible in all areas on Sunday. Temperatures will average much above normal. The USDA spot price is now 76.19 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.154 million bales, from 0.146 million yesterday. USDA said that net Upland Cotton export sales were 93,600 bales this year and 19,500 bales next year. Net Pima sales were 30,700 bales this year and 0 bales next year.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are mixed to down with objectives of 7990 and 7750 March. Support is at 80.20, 79.90, and 78.00 March, with resistance of 82.30, 83.40, and 84.00 March.
General Comments: Futures closed lower on speculative trading in preparation for the USDA reports at the end of the week. Ideas are that USDA can show smaller crops in its reports this week due to the greening disease and dry weather that has been reported in Florida. USDA has cut production potential in the previous two estimates and might be forced to trim the estimate a little more next month. Weather remains about the same in Florida. Temperatures remain mild to warm in the state, and conditions are mostly dry. Forecasts do not call for any threatening temperatures, but dry weather is creating ideas that more fruit can be lost. Fruit is holding for now, and irrigation is being used by producers to hold crop condition. Harvest in Florida of mid and early oranges is continuing, and the Valencia harvest is underway. Weather in Brazil is reported to be good. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and scattered showers. Harvest is continuing, so an increase in supplies should be expected at this time of year.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for mostly dry conditions. Temperatures will average above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are up with objectives of 123.00, 125.00, and 131.00 March. Support is at 120.00, 116.00, and 113.00 March, with resistance at 124.00, 126.00, and 128.00 March.

White House budget reacts to GAO report praising Hartzler catfish inspection bill
Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler's (MO-4) legislation to trim duplicative catfish inspection programs is cited by a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report as one of several examples of where the federal government could save taxpayer dollars each year. And, the White House has reacted by including elimination of the wasteful spending in President Obama's 2014 budget. The GAO, known as the government's watchdog, claims trimming the duplicative catfish inspection program and eliminating other wasteful expenditures could save the federal government tens of billions of dollars.
"I am pleased that the GAO report supports the goal of my bill to eliminate duplicative catfish inspections," said Hartzler. "And it is satisfying to see the President's budget react positively to our call to remove this duplicative program by including the elimination in his budget. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently inspects all commercial seafood, but a provision in the 2008 Farm Bill would move catfish inspection to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), with a price tag of $30 million in start-up costs and at least $14 million each following year for the USDA to train inspectors and to run the program."
"I have said all along that we do not need two government agencies inspecting seafood," added Hartzler. "With the money our government could save by eliminating catfish inspection duplication and other wastes of taxpayer dollars, we could address budget cuts that are negatively impacting our national defense."
Congresswoman Hartzler, a member of the House Agriculture Committee, is the chief sponsor of a bipartisan bill addressing the duplicative catfish inspection program. The legislation would end the duplicative waste without affecting the safety of catfish intended for human consumption.

The La Plata County Sheriffs Office has identified a woman who was found dead Wednesday in a remote location west of Breen.
Donna Trapp, 60, died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, said Dan Bender, spokesman with the La Plata County Sheriffs Office.
Trapp was a resident of the Dryside and was staying with a friend in the Hay Gulch area, he said.
She was found about 2:15 p.m. Wednesday on a private driveway in the 9000 block of County Road 120.
A local real estate agent was showing the undeveloped piece of property to a Fort Collins couple when they approached an all-terrain vehicle parked in the middle of the dirt driveway. Trapps body was on the ground about 10 feet behind the ATV with a gun resting on her chest, said Thad Trujillo, who works with the Wells Group.
A friend reported Trapp missing before her body was found, Bender said.
No foul play is suspected.

News is emerging of AnsibleWorks, a new online site serving the Ansible community at galaxy.ansibleworks.com. Ansible is currently (at the time of writing) the most popular configuration management tool on GitHub and is also the most forked and starred.
Michael DeHaan, creator of Ansible and cofounder and CTO of AnsibleWorks, explains that AnsibleWorks' Galaxy is a community for sharing content such as "roles;" i.e., call bundles of reusable "Ansible PlayBook" content.
These roles contain reusable instructions, default variables, templates, and files for deploying all kinds of applications and configuring various IT services.
As an example, if a developer is using an Nginx Module & a MySQL module when deploying a web application that requires both, the role makes it faster to build automation workflows without having to start from scratch.
A developer can download canned roles with a simple command-line call and then use simple Ansible PlayBook syntax to assign multiple roles to assign behavior to their systems. Galaxy will include a visual explore page to help surface new content, a ratings and review system, with karma — and, logically, integration with Github.
Additionally, Ansible 1.4.2 (released with Galaxy this week) will have the ansible-galaxy CLI to make it easier to integrate Galaxy content with PlayBooks.
According to DeHaan and his development unit, "When the team was designing Galaxy, they didn't start by looking at typical systems management content websites. Instead, they looked at popular websites that allow people to explore content in different ways — asking what makes them dynamic and useful?"
"They saw that the great thing about iTunes is it showcases what's happening right now. The great thing about sites like BeerAdvocate is they help showcase styles of new content but also structure their review process so you can learn more about something than just whether it was a 5-star or 3-star beverage. Flickr's Explore feature is a great way of finding content you wouldn't have normally found that users find interesting."
Ansible Galaxy provides many ways to find great new automation content — you can surf for Top Roles by category, but also can see the zeitgeist of what is coming in by looking at new reviews, or surfing the reviews of top reviewers to find what they like and use. New roles are showcased, as well as reviews by AnsibleWorks employees.
Galaxy also contains an integrated command-line tool for downloading content (basically a package manager) for pulling in roles — and their dependencies.
For developers, Galaxy offers additional benefits — by browsing to "/api", there is a fully discoverable REST API available, offering all features of the system. So it's easy to pull in content and surf what's available programmatically. This makes it possible to easily write new clients for Galaxy and embed it in other software systems.

Universal really went out of its way to make Scott Pilgrim the biggest thing at Comic Con. The marketing blitz they put forth was nothing short of astounding. So here's how it went down.
First, they had the windows of one side of the Hilton Hotel, across the street from the Convention Center, painted with the Scott Pilgrim poster.
Also across the street, but on the Gaslamp district, was where the plethora of Scott Pilgrim marketing was. First, there was the Scott Pilgrim Garlic Bread stand where they handed out free garlic bread (Scott Pilgrim's favorite snack).
Near that was a stall where they were giving out free Scott Pilgrim T-shirts (fans would get one of three pre-made shirts).
Then there was the Scott Pilgrim vs. Comic Con Experience, which was held at the Hilton Gaslamp station.
The line was super long, especially since anyone (with or without Comic Con badge) could enter. The wait time was between one-three hours depending. But the end result was often well worth it.
There was a station where fans could get a customized Scott Pilgrim T-shirt (as seen on the right of the image above). They could also make their own personalized flip book.
Play a demo of the Scott Pilgrim video game that will be available for download on the Playstation Network August 10 (today).
They would also get to see live performances from the winner of the Band Battle Royale contest they held, Gorgeous Got a Gun.
And every now and then will get to meet members of the cast for autographs and pictures.
Kieran Culkin - aka Wallace Wells
Anna Kendrick - aka Stacey Pilgrim
Aubrey Plaza - aka Julie Powers
Left: Ellen Wong - aka Knives Chau
Middle: Mary Elizabeth Winstead - aka Ramona Flowers
All for free!
On Day One, they conducted the Scott Pilgrim panel in Hall H with up to thirteen members of the cast along with creator Bryan Lee O'Malley and director Edgar Wright.
Part One of Four:
The panel was filled with great fun and hilarity, as you could see and imagine. At the end, Edgar had a surprise for everyone in that they were going to show the full film at the Balboa Theatre that evening. But to get in, folks needed to have received a 1-Up button during the panel. Edgar then jumped off the stage and led everyone with the appropriate button to the theatre. Seriously, he led the people to the screening.
Those who didn't get the button still had other chances as they were screening the movie two more times on Day Two and Day Three for free. That's right, free! Of course, fans had to wait in line for hours to ensure they were getting into the screening, which was first come first serve.
But the end result was worth it for the obvious reason. Not to mention the theatre was kind enough to also give out free popcorn and drinks. Inside, as fans were waiting for the movie to start, they were treated to music mixed together by Dan The Automator (of Gorillaz fame) and Kid Koala, both of whom worked on mixing the music for the film.
When it was time, Edgar and the cast came out to introduce the film. I'll try to get a review up later, but I can say with great honesty that this was a fantastic movie from start to finish. Edgar returned to the stage at the end of the film for a closing speech. Those who got to see the film on the first night were given an added bonus of a mini-concert from Metric, whose song "Black Sheep" was used in the film as a song performed by the in-film band Clash at Demonhead.
So you can see that Universal really went out of their way to make Scott Pilgrim one of, if not the memorable film presented at Comic Con.

Junior center Patric Young views one benefit of Florida's upcoming home games. Comfort.
Junior center Patric Young views one benefit of Florida's upcoming home games.
"All this traveling we've been doing, it's tough being on a plane and being 6-(foot-)9," Young said.
The No. 4 Gators (16-2, 6-0 SEC) will begin a stretch of four home games in their next five games tonight at the O'Connell Center against South Carolina (12-7, 2-4 SEC). Florida handled a stretch of four road games in its previous five games without many problems. The Gators won road games at LSU, Texas A&M, Georgia and Mississippi State by an average margin of 23.8 points.
Overall, the Gators have played nine of their previous 12 games away from the O'Connell Center.
"It's been a long stretch, but just because we're home doesn't mean that we can relax right now," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "But we have done a lot of traveling, and I think for every team, everybody loves being at home. I don't think it's any different for anybody. We still have the same level of preparation we have to go through regardless of if we're playing at home or on the road."
Florida is a perfect 8-0 at home this season, which has included wins over Wisconsin, Marquette and No. 17 Missouri.
"We have good energy as a team when we're at home," senior guard Kenny Boynton said. " The crowd gets us excited. So it definitely means a lot."
Donovan is concerned about the problems that South Carolina can present. The Gamecocks are rebuilding, but playing hard under first-year coach Frank Martin. South Carolina is forcing 14.4 turnovers per game and ranked third in the SEC in rebounding margin at plus-7.5.
"Their team is going through a transition with a new coach, but when you watch them on film, it's clear those kids have bought into playing the way Frank wants them to play," Donovan said.
South Carolina is coming off a 75-54 win over Arkansas. Last week at No. 17 Missouri, the Gamecocks led by eight points at the half before falling 71-65.
"They really put themselves in a position to win every single game, and I think that's a credit to Frank, and their staff, and to the guys in their program," Donovan said.
For Martin, the game will be a homecoming of sorts. Martin is a Miami native who grew up a Florida basketball fan in the 1980s, during the days of Vernon Delancy and Ronnie Williams. As a coach at Miami High in the late 1990s, Martin had several of his players recruited by UF, including former Gator standouts Udonis Haslem and Brent Wright.
"I've always been appreciative that he felt that way about our program, to actually endorse and be positive about our players coming here," Donovan said.
But the close relationship between Donovan and Martin will be put aside once the game starts. The Gators will need to contend with South Carolina junior guard Bruce Ellington, who has had big games against the Gators in the past. Ellington returned from South Carolina's football team in December and hasn't missed a beat. The wide receiver/shooting guard is averaging 10.3 points per game.
In his previous four games against UF, Ellington has averaged 17.3 points. That included a 23-point game that led the Gamecocks to a 72-69 upset over the Gators at the O'Connell Center two seasons ago.
"Playing against him in the previous years, as freshman, he gave us problems," Boynton said. "He's a quick player. He can shoot, the mid-range and the 3. I respect his game. We've got to contain him."
Florida also will be looking to cut down its turnovers after turning the ball over 14 times last Saturday at Mississippi State. The Bulldogs scored 16 points off the 14 UF turnovers.
"We were a little loose on that against Mississippi State," Young said. "They had a lot of open-court turnovers, and when you have open-court turnovers, there's no chance to get back on transition defense. Being able to take care of the ball, that's just a really important thing."
G Kenny Boynton 6-2 Sr. 13.6 ppg, 3.6 rpg
G Mike Rosario 6-3 Sr. 11.8 ppg, 2.4 rpg

Notes: Florida has won eight in a row, its longest winning streak since starting the 2009-10 season 8-0. The Gators haven't won nine in a row since their 10-game winning streak to close the 2007 national title season. … Florida is 39-22 all-time against South Carolina and 23-11 against the Gamecocks under Billy Donovan. … Florida ranks third in the nation in scoring defense, holding opponents to 51.2 points per game. The Gators have held 10 opponents under 50 points and 14 opponents under 60 points. … Junior point guard Scottie Wilbekin is second in the SEC in assists at 5.1 per game. … Senior guard Kenny Boynton is shooting 44 percent (22-of-50) from 3-point range in his last seven games. … Guard Brenton Williams, a transfer from Santa Fe College in Gainesville, is South Carolina's leading available scorer at 11.6 points per game. Leading scorer LaShay Page (11.7 ppg) is out for the season due to academic issues. … Junior forward Casey Prather remains out for the Gators with a high ankle sprain.

Climate Change Not Exaggerated
A study funded by climate change skeptics confirms that global warming is happening at the rate questioned by "Climategate."
Oct 21, 2011
Jef Akst
New methods and new data, same conclusion: the Earth is warming, according to a new study, funded in part by climate change skeptics.
The study was organized in 2009 by University of California physics professor Richard Muller in response to the "Climategate" scandal, in which the emails of climate scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) were hacked and posted online in an effort to expose supposed data manipulation that exaggerated the planet's warming trends.
"I was deeply concerned that the group [at UEA] had concealed discordant data," Muller told BBC News.
But the new study puts such claims to bed. With funding from an unlikely source—billionaire US industrialists known to support groups that lobby against man-made global warming—the Berkeley Earth Project used up-to-date techniques and data to determine that previous estimates by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NASA, and others are accurate. Specifically, the researchers, including this year's Nobel Laureate in Physics Saul Perlmutter, documented changing water temperatures in the north Atlantic, as well as an overall warming pattern since 1800. The study further discounted the accusation by bloggers that weather station data only documented a warming trend because of their location in or near cities.
"Our biggest surprise was that the new results agreed so closely with the warming values published previously by other teams in the US and the UK," Muller told the BBC. "This confirms that these studies were done carefully and that potential biases identified by climate change skeptics did not seriously affect their conclusions."
