Concerned that our Second Amendment rights and freedoms were hanging in the balance following overtures by the President to reform the nation's gun laws, former Navy SEAL Dom Raso had a simple question for the National Rifle Association: "How can I help?"
Presumably, the nation's gun lobby was more than pleased to have a 12-year combat veteran — as Raso said, "steady combat" — lend his voice to their cause because, well, the NRA gave him a job right alongside the two other burgeoning luminaries in the gun debate: viral sensation Mr. Colion Noir and the intrepid Natalie Foster, editor of "A Girl's Guide to Guns."
In my humble opinion, Raso makes a great addition to the NRA's team of unofficial spokesmen. While his Internet clout and social media skills aren't on par with Noir or Foster just yet, Raso's frontline experience overseas brings an important perspective and gravitas to the ongoing national conversation about restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. For example, watch this PSA:
"It is unbelievable that politicians like Mayor Bloomberg think that they are experts on personal protection," Raso said in the above video. "Me and the guys I fought with, we didn't go to war so that some politician could dictate whatever he thinks is best for the American people."
"What have those guys ever accomplished that gives them any credibility on the subject of personal protection?"
For Raso, education is the key to winning the battle over gun control. As he said in our interview at the 2013 NRA Convention, his desire to become politically engaged has its roots in wanting to "help educate people who don't know what's going on with politics." Certainly, there is a lot of work to do along these lines.
According to Raso, one bit of misinformation that needs to be addressed is the notion that the gun control laws being proposed in Washington and around the country would somehow prevent another mass shooting.
"None of these rules, none of this legislation [i.e., the Manchin-Toomey expanded background check amendment] that would have been pushed through would have prevented Newtown," said Raso.
He's right, of course. This is not only common sense, but what experts on the subject of mass killings have concluded.
"How would creating new laws prevent a mass shooting?" Raso asked rhetorically.
If Gun.com could do this interview over again, we probably would have asked Raso less about politics (although, that's a vitally important subject and one we're required to report on) and more about gear and guns. That's not a shot at Raso's political acumen but rather a praise of his knowledge on all things tactical (Raso is a self-described "gear and gun geek").
Currently he's doing research, development, test, evaluation and design with the NRA's Life of Duty. As he put it, "Getting the operator's perspective [on equipment], as opposed to the opinion of "Some guy who is just sitting in his garage."
And Raso has a ton of insight. Not only because he's a former Navy SEAL, but because we started chatting when the interview was over about all sorts of cool things. Next time around we'll be sure to ask Dom more gun and gear-related questions, on camera.

Mumbai: The curious case of 150 felled mangroves in Borivali
MHB Colony locals find the cut trees on a builder's five-acre plot; cops promise to register case in court
Early this month, locals of MHB colony in Borivali West lodged a complaint with the corporator Shiva Shetty that about 150 mangroves trees have been cut and hidden on a five-acre plot owned by a well-known builder.
The area was part of the mangrove before the trees were chopped off
Shetty, who visited the site and took pictures of the felled trees hidden under a layer of grass, in turn alerted the R-Central ward the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corpo-ration (BMC). Complainant Amol Ingle, a junior officer in the BMC tree department junior, central region, lodged a police complaint at the MHB Colony police station.
Shetty said, "A few days ago, locals of the area met me and informed that they had noticed around 150 mangroves trees cut on a builder's five-acre plot. When I visited the site, owned by Eco Home, I saw the demolished mangroves trees on the rear end of the site, covered with grass."
Shetty has asked the BMC to investigate the matter and nab the unknown culprit. "I clicked the pictures of the demolished mangroves trees and have already given them to the police and the BMC officials for further inquiry."
Ingle confirmed that a punchnama was filed on the spot. "A non-cognisable offence has been registered against the unknown people and they confirmed yesterday that a case will be registered in court," he explainded.

The name Rampion is derived from its Latin specific name, Rapunculus, a diminutive of rapa (a turnip). It is still much cultivated in France, Germany and Italy, and occasionally here, for the roots which are boiled tender like parsnips and eaten hot with a sauce. They are sweetish, with a slight pungency, but though wholesome, are considered inferior to other roots now more widely grown for culinary use. The larger roots are reserved for boiling, sometimes the young roots are eaten raw with vinegar and pepper, and occasionally the leaves, as well as the roots, are eaten as a winter salad. The leaves can be used in the summer and autumn as a substitute for spinach. The young shoots may be blanched like asparagus and prepared in the same manner.
---Description---The roots are fleshy and biennial (but can be made perennial), the stems are 2 to 3 feet high, erect, stiff, though rather slender, generally simple, more or less covered with stiff, white hairs, which almost disappear when cultivated. The leaves are variable, 1 to 3 inches long, the radical leaves oblong or ovate, on long stalks and slightly crenate, the stem-leaves narrow and mostly entire, or obscurely toothed. The flowers, which bloom in July and August, are about 3/4 inch long, reddish purple, blue or white, on short peduncles, forming long, simple or slightly branched panicles. The corolla is divided to about the middle into five lanceolate segments. The capsule is short and erect, opening in small lateral clefts, close under the narrow linear segments of the calyx.
Drayton names it among the vegetables and pot-herbs of the kitchen garden, in his poem Polyolbion, and there is a reference to it in the slang of Falstaff, showing how generally it was in cultivation in this country in Shakespeare's time.
There is an Italian tradition that the possession of a rampion excites quarrels among children. The plant figures in one of Grimm's tales, the heroine, Rapunzel, being named after it, and the whole plot is woven around the theft of rampions from a magician's garden. In an old Calabrian tale, a maiden, uprooting a rampion in a field, discovers a staircase that leads to a palace far down in the depths of the earth.
---Cultivation---Rampion is easily cultivated and will flourish in ordinary good soil, though a moist, sandy soil suits it best.
Seeds should be sown in shallow drills, a foot apart, in May, and thinned out to 5 or 6 inches in the rows. The young plants should be moderately watered at first.
If grown for culinary use, it must not be allowed to flower, and the roots should be earthed up several inches on each side in order to blanch them. They are fit for use in November, and should be lifted then and stored in a frost-proof place.
---Medicinal Action and Uses---Gerard tells us: 'Some affirme that the decoction of the roots are good for all inflammation of the mouth and almonds of the throte and other diseases happening in the mouth and throte, as the other Throte warts.'
An old writer states that the distilled water of the whole plant is excellent for the complexion and 'maketh the face very splendent.'
---Other Species---
Two other native species have been employed dietetically, Campanula rapunculoides and C. persicifolia, but they have fallen into disuse as culinary vegetables, though the latter is a favourite in the flower border.
All the plants of the genus have a milky juice, which is more or less acrid, though not sufficiently so to act poisonously.

COLIN RAMASRA and Kerrie Sample won a rare doubles squash match in five sets to bring down the curtain on the Trinidad and Tobago Squash Association's exhibition event last weekend at Cascadia Squash Club, St Ann's.
The players, who had combined to secure a silver medal in the 2010 CAC (Central America and the Caribbean) Games in Colombia, captured the first set, but were still forced to come from behind to defeat Kale Wilson and Charlotte Knaggs 11-7, 7-11, 7-11, 11-9, 11-4 last Saturday.
The match was played on a singles court and the reason that there has never been an official doubles match in Trinidad is because doubles courts are three-feet wider, and there are none in the country.
Ramasra, the country's only professional player who is ranked just outside the top 200 in the world, easily won the round-robin singles tournament.
After beating national under-19 champ Mandela Patrick 11-9, 11-2, the Canada-based seven-time national champ roared back from an 8-3 first-set deficit to snatch the first set 11-9 and then roll over Wilson 11-4, 11-2 in the other two of the best-of-five "virtual" final.
Wilson, the 2011 Caribbean under-19 champ who studies and competed in Canada, had edged Patrick, the under-19 runner-up in this year's Caribbean Junior Championships, 11-3, 9-11, 11-9 in the other match in the series.
Fans were looking forward to the clash between Knaggs and Sample, but the latter, a Briton of local parentage who was crowned Caribbean under-19 champ in '09, is nursing a leg injury and decided to save herself for the mixed doubles.
Great Britain-based student Knaggs, who was crowned Caribbean under-19 champ this year after holding the under-17 title for the previous two years, came up against Patrick's younger brother Nku instead and lost 11-7, 11-9 to Caribbean Under-17 runner-up.

The goaltending thing in Montreal isn't a controversy like the media is playing it up to be. Whether it's perfectly okay to wipe Jarkko Ruutu's smile off his face with a sharpened blade might be considered a controversy. Letting the Leafs play in the NHL could be considered a controversy. Awarding Dave Schultz the Lady Byng trophy when he roamed the ice for the Broad Street Bullies would have probably been contoversial.
But all Montreal is doing is going with the guy who has been in nets when the team is winning a few games. It's not that difficult. My sister might have come up with the same strategy.
Carey Price will be back in nets soon. He's not creating any controversy by threatening to go to Russia or demanding a trade. He's just sitting on the bench for now. And it's not because Jaroslav Halak has been standing on his head that he remains in goal. The team has rebounded because the forwards and defence are beginning to gel, are finding their place, have become more comfortable around teammates who were recently strangers, and are finally beginning to understand what coach Jacques Martin is asking them to do – that is, take care of the defensive aspects, get the shots-against down, and don't leave the goalie hanging out to dry.
All of which they didn't do in Vancouver.
If Price was in nets for the last four games, they might have won like they've won with Halak. They're just playing better hockey as a team, and it's been good for Halak. But he's just been good, not great so far. He's been there and done the job, but his timing is right too. He's the guy in nets when the the boys in front of him decided to play a little.
There's no controversy. If we heard Price ranting and raving, then there might be. But he's a team player and he understands the situation.
We could see him very soon because it's not hard to understand that he needs to get some games in. And when we do see him, hopefully we see a solid netminder. Wouldn't it be something if both our goalies did a huge job and we were absolutely comfortable and content when either started a game?
Carey Price, if his fragile confidence doesn't take many more hits, is the future of the team. At least this is what's expected of him. Most understand that, including Halak. I'm sure everyone's fine with this. Although it's human nature to want to be the number one guy, which of course Halak would want. But you can't always get what you want.
And thank goodness for Halak. He's been steady, he's been good, and from time to time he's been lucky. He's done all that has been asked so far. And Price will do the same.
As an aside: Now I'm reading about the possibility that the Habs are showcasing Halak to make a trade and I don't buy it. Make the Price the go-to guy like before, when he's still trying to find himself? If they are, I'd be surprised. Unless, of course, they plan on bringing in another solid goalie as part of the big, overall deal.
It's all too much. My brain is hurting.

The Center Volunteer Fire Department responded to a brush fire at about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at the rest area on the westbound side of Interstate 20 in Aiken County.
Assistant Chief Gene Fulmer said apparently a motorist threw out a cigarette or a match and ignited the fire.
The fire charred six acres and burned for more than an hour before firefighters could extinguish the flames. No one was injured.
College names interim chancellor
Dr. Thomas Hallman, who joined the University of South Carolina Aiken administrative staff 17 years ago, was named interim chancellor Tuesday.
Dr. Hallman, vice chancellor for administration, will take the helm July 1, the day after longtime chancellor Dr. Robert Alexander retires. He will serve up to a year - until a permanent chancellor is named and arrives on campus.
The interim appointment was announced by University of South Carolina President John M. Palms, who said Dr. Hallman's "longstanding service to USC and his well-earned reputation in the Aiken community will provide the leadership necessary during this time of transition."
"The search committee I appointed in March is moving steadily toward identifying the best candidates from around the country. We hope to have a permanent chancellor in place in the near future," Mr. Palms said.
Dr. Hallman is a Charleston native and a graduate of The Citadel, where he earned bachelor's and master's degrees. His doctorate in higher education administration is from the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
He has worked since 1983 in several capacities within the chancellor's office at USC Aiken. In the community, he is a past chairman of the board of directors of the Aiken Chamber of Commerce, past president of the Aiken Kiwanis Club, a founding member and past chairman of the Aiken County Forum, and a former chairman of Leadership Aiken County.
Area industry fined for emissions
WAYNESBORO - A Burke County manufacturer of chromium-plated doorknobs and locks will pay fines totaling $3,000 for exceeding permitted levels of chromium emissions.
The consent order between Kwikset Corp. and Georgia's Environmental Protection Division also requires Kwikset to take immediate steps to develop a corrective action plan to prevent future problems.
The industry was notified by the state Feb. 23 that emissions were in violation of Kwikset's air quality permit. The violations, according to the consent order signed this month, were "avoidable and cannot be excused."
Local man named to lottery board
ATLANTA - A local businessman was named to the Georgia Lottery Corp. board Tuesday by Gov. Roy Barnes.
Timothy Shelnutt joins the board that oversees the lottery. Other new members named were M. Byck Jr. of Savannah and Matthew Ware of Lithonia.
They replace Wyck Knox of Augusta, Arnold Tenenbaum and Cecil Phillips, whose terms expired.
Student charged in girl's death
ST. MARYS - Investigators said Tuesday they suspect a 14-year-old girl might have been slashed and beaten to death because an 18-year-old high school student "just lost it" after she refused his advances.
James Christopher Miley, a Camden County High School junior, was ordered jailed without bond and charged with murder in the death of Ashley Nicole Neeves, an eighth-grader at St. Marys Middle School.
Investigators were waiting Tuesday for a coroner's report and results from evidence tests at a crime lab. While they said they were not certain of a motive, investigators said Mr. Miley likely was frustrated because Ashley would not date him.
Detective Sgt. T.J. Sievers said Ashley was hacked to death with a jagged weapon. Her body was found Sunday after residents of a nearby subdivision called police to complain about vultures in a wooded area. Her face was mangled to the point where a family member could not recognize her.
State seeks input on train plan
MACON - Middle Georgia residents have a chance this week to give their opinions on proposals for high-speed passenger trains that will connect the area with Atlanta.
Transportation planners are pushing plans to run the trains along one of two existing rail lines, but the federal government, which is expected to cover 80 percent of the project's $140 million estimated price tag, is requiring the state to hold public hearings and to investigate alternatives.
A hearing was planned Tuesday night in Macon, with others set for today in Griffin and Thursday in Forsyth.
Paul Mullins, a planning director at the Georgia Department of Transportation, said rail planners will investigate whether the state should operate express buses between Macon and Atlanta or whether the route would be served better with a rail line parallel to Interstate 75.
Man charged in strange burglaries
BRUNSWICK - A Brunswick man has been charged with burglary after allegedly pouring bleach into drinking water at the American Red Cross office and damaging a Bible at the American Cancer Society.
George Lacas, 33, was being held Tuesday in the Glynn County jail on a $10,552 bond.
The Red Cross estimated its loss at $4,000, with damage next door at the American Cancer Society less.
At the Red Cross, someone broke into food supplies, contaminated drinking water with bleach and took all the light bulbs from fixtures. Donated cakes and pies were set up on chairs, which had been arranged as though for a lawn party, Brunswick Red Cross executive director Cindy Perry said.
"It was really strange some of the things the intruder did," she said. "We're the disaster."
T-shirts from the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life Fund-raiser were missing, and a Bible was damaged when it was smeared with lotion.
Man to appeal foreign-deer charge
GREENVILLE - A Travelers Rest man promises to appeal his conviction on charges of illegally possessing fallow deer.
Billy Hawkins was convicted Monday of charges of possessing two of the deer, which are native to Europe and Asia.
The deer are dangerous to the state's livestock and native deer because they can carry bovine tuberculosis, said Paul League, an attorney for the state Natural Resources Department. Fallow deer owners say the animals rarely get sick.
Slaying suspect out on bond
A judge granted a $25,000 bond Tuesday for an Augusta woman facing murder charges.
Patricia Graves, 32, originally had faced a charge of aggravated assault in the Nov. 10 shooting of her boyfriend, Craig L. Willis. The charge was upgraded to murder when Mr. Willis, 31, died May 2.
Also Tuesday, a Richmond County grand jury indicted Ms. Graves on charges of felony and malice murder and use of a firearm during the commission of crime.
Ms. Graves initially told investigators that Mr. Willis had attempted suicide. She later told them he pulled the gun out and it went off as the two struggled for control of the weapon, Assistant District Attorney Nancy Johnson said. As Mr. Willis lay on the floor with a bullet wound to his head, Ms. Graves fired another gunshot into his head, Ms. Johnson said.
Defense Attorney Richard Allen, in asking Superior Court Judge J. Carlisle Overstreet to set bond, said Ms. Graves had been free on bond since November. She had continued to work at the assistant manager's job she held for 10 years, and lived with her daughter. Ms. Graves also has no prior criminal convictions.

It's strange to think that when you, Chris, read a comment on this board like someone looking for a ticket, like a lot of people do on this forum, seeing how it is a music themed forum. Rather than going about your business, you have to make some lame smart ass comment, as if that person never would have thought in a million years to check and see if tickets were sold out. I swear, you have said that same thing to me at least five different times, just like you have said it to a hundred other pele. I'm sure at least two or three hundred of your post count is that same exact line. It's just weird.

I saw Huun Huur Tu tonight and they were absolutely magical. It was one of the best live music experiences I've had in my life. They are such a focused group of musicians playing such an ancient tradition of songs in a contemporary way that it can't help but be completely captivating. Which is to say, I envy everyone seeing them tomorrow, because you are getting quite a show.
In comparison, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was tame and boring.
Good to hear, Bryan. I've been looking forward to seeing them and now I'm even more excited. Leaving here early afternoon to have plenty of time to get there early.
Anyone got an extra ticket for tonight at the bowl they dont want to go to waste?
I'm hoping to score a couple cheap tickets outside the gate, it's usually not too difficult at the Bowl, especially shows that aren't sold out.
That was another thought. I really just need 1 so I may just go the same route. It'd be nice to sit in side E or D sections for cheap.
Just scored 2 Section E seats off Craigslist for $35 each. So people are starting to give them up pretty cheap. Saved myself about 30 bucks or so.
Coachella 01' - 13', '15,'16 and still counting..... 15th year!!!! Geez, I'm getting old..
I'm pretty excited about this tonight.First Time seeing Animal Collective and I'm bring a cooler of some good beer in.Can someone either pm me about where I can park for free which would help me out a lot or just a good spot to park that is cheaper than if I remember correctly $20 at the Hollywood bowl parking.
Anyone have tickets they need to dump?
I ended up parking at ford theatre for $5

In any rental situation, both landlords and tenants have rights and they also have certain duties. For landlords, these requirements include providing a safe, habitable place to live. They have a right to protect their property and to remove tenants who violate the terms of a rental contract. Tenants have the right to make requests for repairs and a duty to pay rent. Given the nature of a rental situation, disputes often arise over whose rights have been violated. In these circumstances, the assistance and advice of an experienced real estate attorney can be invaluable.

Rent and Security Deposit Issues
A lease by its very nature requires payment by the tenant, usually on a monthly basis, of a rent or fee. In any rental situation, a potential tenant is also asked to provide a security deposit when first entering into a rental agreement or lease. Of course, matters are not always simple and disputes often arise between a tenant and a landlord regarding rent and security deposits. If you are caught in the midst of a dispute over rent or security deposit issues, an attorney specializing in real estate law at The Payne Law Office, Chartered in Chicago, Illinois, can help steer you toward a fair resolution.
Rent Issues: How Much, How Often, and How Late
Although it is generally legal for a landlord to require that rent be paid at other times, or at other intervals, rental payments are usually due to a landlord on the first day of the month. A landlord can only raise rent in a lease agreement (an agreement that is not on a month-to-month rental) if the lease expires, if the current lease provides for such an increase, or if the tenant agrees to the change.
In a month-to-month lease the landlord can generally raise rent by providing the tenant with proper written notice, which is often a 30-day period. In most situations, the "sky is the limit" for how much a landlord can charge for rent or for how much they can raise the rent. In a very small handful of communities, there are rent control laws that limit the amount of rent a landlord may charge for any particular property. These laws tend to exist in large urban areas such as New York City and San Francisco.
If a tenant fails to pay rent on time, a landlord may generally terminate the rental agreement. In most states, there is no law that establishes a "late period" for rental payments, although that is something that a landlord could certainly offer as part of a rental agreement.
Security Deposits: Making the Most of Yours
A security deposit is required in virtually every lease and is essentially designed for two purposes: to ensure that the tenant will pay rent and to protect against any damage done to the property, other than normal wear and tear, during the rental period. If no damage occurs, a tenant is generally entitled to have his entire security deposit returned.
In some states, a security deposit may only be equal to one month's rent. In other states, a landlord may charge two month's rent or may have a "scale" for security deposits that fluctuates depending upon whether the apartment is furnished or unfurnished and whether the tenant has pets.
The laws requiring the return of a security deposit also vary greatly from state to state. Generally, a landlord is required to provide an old tenant with written documentation showing why a portion of a security deposit is being kept. A landlord may only "charge" a tenant for damage to a property, not for normal wear and tear.
Normal wear and tear is usually considered to include such things as faded paint and normal tread marks on carpeting. Damage to a rental property, something for which the tenant is usually liable, may include such things as broken windows, holes in walls, and broken or missing blinds and curtains. Remember, a landlord is generally only entitled to keep the portion of the security deposit that is considered reasonable for making the required repair. Thus, to repair a $20 hole in your wall the landlord is not entitled to keep $200 of the security deposit.
How to Keep Your Security Deposit
The easiest way to ensure that you will receive all, or at least most, of your security deposit back is to make a record of the condition of the property, both when you move in and when you move out. Go through the property before moving in and make a written list of everything visible, from cracks, frays, and scratches to bigger problems. This is often referred to as a "walk-through" and it is a good idea to request that the landlord or owner to be present during the walk-through. If possible take pictures (which you should later write the date on) or make a video-recording of the property to preserve evidence of all defects. Requesting that the landlord review the list, photographs, or movie and "sign off" on it does much to protect your rights later on. Perform the same walk-through when you leave property at the end of your lease or agreement. In some states, a landlord is required to provide a written checklist for a walk-through. If you do not live in one of those states, you can easily create your own checklist to use when moving in and out.
At the end of your agreement, when you are moving out, it is also important that you return all keys to your landlord and provide them with a forwarding address so that they will know where to return your security deposit. If they don't have that information, or you still have keys to the property, there may be a delay in returning your deposit.
Speak to a Landlord-Tenant Lawyer
Rent and security deposit issues frequently arise in rental relationships and may involve arguments over how much money is due, when it is due, or why money is not being returned after the end of a rental period. If you have issues concerning rent or security deposits, an experienced real estate law attorney at The Payne Law Office, Chartered in Chicago, Illinois, can assist you in protecting your financial rights.

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) June 30, 2013
Wright & Schulte attorneys have filed a vaginal mesh lawsuit against the Mentor Worldwide LLC and the Coloplast Corporation on behalf of a Georgia woman. This transvaginal mesh lawsuit (case no. 2:13-cv-04156) is part of MDL 2387 and was filed on March 4, 2013 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, Charleston Division. The complaint alleges that the dangerous design of Mentor's and Coloplast's vaginal mesh sling caused the plaintiff to develop some severe, painful injuries that eventually required risky corrective surgery to remove the defective mesh. Additionally, this vaginal mesh lawsuit or bladder mesh lawsuit alleges that the defendants failed to adequately test the safety of their mesh slings and failed to warn the public about the risks of serious injuries associated with these devices.

Severe Injuries Alleged in Bladder Mesh Lawsuit
Court documents for this case (case no. 2:13-cv-04156) contend that, in February 2008, the plaintiff had the Aris-Transobturator Sling System, which is made and marketed by both Mentor and Coloplast, surgically implanted in her lower abdominal region. The woman had this surgery to try to treat her pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Following her surgery, however, the plaintiff began experiencing painful complications that ended up being so bad that she had to undergo revision surgery to have the Sling System removed. Court documents for this case also explain that the Mentor and Coloplast knew or should have known about the risk of severe injuries and complications associated with this Sling System and that they failed to warn medical professionals and the public about these potential dangers.
According to the FDA, some of the serious complications that have been linked to the Aris-Transobturator Sling System and other transvaginal mesh implants are alleged to include urinary pain, pain during intercourse, vaginal scaring, mesh erosion through the vaginal lining, an increased risk of infection, puncturing of the blood vessels/bowels/bladder and recurrence of SUI. [fda.gov/medicaldevices/safety/alertsandnotices/publichealthnotifications/ucm061976.htm October 2008]
FDA Warning about the Risk of Severe Vaginal Mesh Complications
In July 2011, the FDA issued a national warning to alert the public that transvaginal mesh complications are not rare. Specifically, after reviewing more than 100 bladder mesh studies, the FDA had found that about 10 percent of women with a mesh sling have developed or would develop serious complications. The FDA also warned the public that many of the reported bladder mesh sling injuries required risky revision surgery and possibly the removal of the mesh sling within one year of implantation. In the worst cases, some women had to undergo a series of revision surgeries as a result of the serious injuries they developed allegedly due to these defective vaginal mesh devices.
Furthermore, the FDA's 2011 bladder mesh sling warning pointed out that women with transvaginal mesh slings had a higher likelihood of developing complications than those who had undergone traditional surgery for POP and SUI and that vaginal mesh may not be effective at relieving the symptoms of prolapse.

No. 15 Viking Men's Soccer Beats No. 12 Grand View in Season OpenerPosted August 30, 2014
Box Score-Click Here
Marshall, Mo. (August 30, 2014)- The No. 15 Missouri Valley College men's soccer team welcomed in No. 12 Grand View (Iowa) University to Gregg-Mitchell Field for a non-conference matchup. The Vikings used two first half goals to hold off Grand View for a 3-0 win.
The first goal of the season came quickly for Missouri Valley as Junior Midfielder Carlos Berastain Munar (Palma de Mallorca, Spain) scored off a free-kick from 25-yards away to put MVC ahead with less than three minutes gone in the match. MVC created more chances through the early stages of the half, creating two corner kicks and a shot from Sophomore Defender Marc Heaman (Newcastle, England) that bounced off the cross bar. With just under 15-minutes to play in the first half the Vikings extended their lead to 2-0 thanks to a goal by Sophomore Forward Rafael Alcaraz (Palma de Mallorca, Spain), off an assist from Junior Midfielder Raul Beneit (Cadiz, Spain). Grand View had its best chance of the half come with seconds remaining before halftime off a corner kick, but MVC went into the break with a 2-0 lead.
Grand View came out and got some chances early in the second half to try and get back into the match. Back-to-back chances in the first 10-minutes were blocked in front of goal, with the second attempt going too high. MVC eventually began to build up an attack and with 13-minutes to play in the match Sophomore Forward Geroge Limbert (Lincoln, England) scored to put MVC up 3-0. The Vikings were able to hold off any Grand View threat late in the match and finished off their season opener with a 3-0 win.
The Vikings were led by Munar, Alcaraz and Limbert who all scored one goal apiece, while Beneit recorded an assist. Senior Goalkeeper Christos Kontemiris (Athens, Greece) made six saves in the game and recorded the shutout for MVC.
The Vikings improve to 1-0 on the season while Grand View falls to 2-1.
Missouri Valley will next play Monday evening as part of a doubleheader with the women's team. Kansas Wesleyan will visit Marshall, Mo., with the women's game set for 4:30 p.m. and the men's game scheduled for a 7 p.m. start time.

India break quicker than anyone when going gets tough: Haddin
Australian wicket-keeper batsman feels India "break quicker than any other team in the world" when things are not going their way
Australian wicket-keeper batsman feels India "break quicker than any other team in the world" when things are not going their way.
Haddin's remark comes in the wake of his side's convincing win over a fragile India in the first two Tests of the four-match series.
"We spoke about a bit of that when we were batting. The longer we could keep them out on the field the bigger chance we had of breaking them. We know this side can be as fragile as any team in the world if things aren't going their way and they can turn on each other and the media turns on them pretty quick," said Haddin of the side which had to field for long in Australia's first innings score of 659 for four in the first innings at Sydney.
"We knew if we could keep them out there and put the numbers like we did on the board we knew we would get the rewards because they break quicker than anyone in the world," Haddin was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Australia have also not let Sachin Tendulkar score his 100th international despite the little master being in good form. Tendulkar has scored 226 runs at an average of 56.5 in the first two Tests, without the elusive century.
Haddin revealed how Australia have been successful in putting Tendulkar under pressure.
"What we have found is if we can build enough pressure on him he wants to score and he wants to feel bat on ball and he wants to get into a rhythm. We find if we can push him a little wider, make him feel for the ball a bit we can build enough pressure to get a chance and it has worked in the last two Tests," said Haddin.
On Tendulkar's much-awaited hundred, Haddin said: "There has been a lot of talk about his hundredth hundred but from our point of view it is our job to make sure he doesn't get it in this series."
The third Test begins here Friday.

Retro TV Wedding Moment: Uncle Jesse Sings "Forever" to Rebecca
I honestly don't know what to say about this clip besides that it's just one of those amazing gems you happen across on the Web one day and are somehow able to tie into what you're doing (in this case, wedding coverage on the Sugar network). As the screengrab above suggests, the video after the jump is of Jesse (that's Uncle Jesse to you) on Full House singing to his lovely bride Rebecca (or, Becky) on their wedding day.
Not only is he joined — oh, yes — by a gospel choir, but there's also a sentimental slideshow of the two lovebirds, starting with baby pictures. It's just so amusing. I mean, honestly, could you see something like this being pulled off today? Even 7th Heaven no longer exists for things like this.

Update Gigabyte confirmed Intel's USB 3.0 chipset will be delayed until 2012. There's no reason given. It claims to have shipped one million USB 3.0 boards already. Other USB 3.0 chips are coming on the market, cheaper than NEC's.
There are some very unhappy vendors here in Old Taipei these days and it's the chip giant Intel that they're blaming.
A large number of the local manufacturers are launching USB3.0 peripherals in the halls of the Computex show but they have a bit of a problem.
The first problem is that there are only a few motherboards that support USB 3.0 – Asus has plenty, Gigabyte has quite a few, and so does Asrock.
But Intel is unlikely to release a chipset capable of supporting USB 3.0 until the end of this year, and that's creating such frustration amongst some of the manufacturers that they're contemplating taking matters into their own hands and attempt to put together some kind of standard that will cover most eventualities.
If, for example, you're the maker of a case you need to be in a position to be sure just where the gubbins in the case is going to go and what it's going to do.
The uncertainty has one certainty to it at least. It's going to cost quite a few peripheral and case makers a lot of grief which translates, here in Old Taipei, to money.

So far in the series of 7 sins, we have covered Lust, Gluttony, Greed and Sloth. The next in line is Wrath - inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger.
In astrology, wrath is represented by Mars. It is how we activate our passion, get inspiration and motivation, and break through creative blocks. Mars's sign can reveals what you may have to fight for, or against, in order to express yourself.
Conversely, it is also how we manage anger, irritation and violent negative emotions in general when things do not go according to plan.
Anger, impatience, rage, hatred… these are all part of the creative sin of wrath. Triggers that set you off at the drop of a hat.
Things like:
When your work isn't going as you wish it would;
Or when you are not getting the results you want fast enough;
Or when you avoid particular themes or subjects because you have difficulties dealing with them.
The inability to manage Mars energy productively can create the blocks that only reinforces the circle of anger, frustration, creation, etc…
The solution?
Time and patience. It takes time to create something exactly as the one you visualized when you had the idea. It takes patience to learn the skills, to spend the time practicing those same skills to get the result you want.

TEL AVIV (Dec. 18)
While the full peace proposals Premier Menachem Begin brought to President Carter in Washington this weekend remained cloaked in secrecy today, strong reactions developed in Israel to the rumored plans which made headlines in the Israeli and American press over the weekend.
These have already agitated the hard-liners of Herut, La'am (State List) and the Greater Israel Movement which comprise the bulk of Begin's Likud constituency. MK Geula Cohen, a former member of the extremist Stem Group, said last night that she would ask for a meeting of Likud's Knesset faction when Begin returns to Israel tomorrow and urge unanimous support for full Israeli sovereignty in the Judaea and Samaria regions.
Begin is not unaware of the strong opposition within his own party to any compromise on the West Bank. For that reason, it is believed, he included in his entourage to Washington Chaim Landau, one of the most uncompromising of his veteran Herut followers. Begin reportedly wants Landau to see for himself what the situation is and be able to explain the facts later to his worried Likud colleagues.
Meanwhile, rumors continued of sharp differences between Begin and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan. When the Premier invited Dayan to join his government after the elections last May, one of his reasons was said to have been that Dayan would project an image of moderation in what was widely regarded as a hard-line regime. Now, many observers say, positions have been reversed with Begin coming across as a "dove" prepared to give up more than Dayan is willing to concede.
The differences between the two men seemed to be confirmed when Begin told an Israeli television reporter on the way to Washington that he had no idea what Dayan means when he speaks about a "functional compromise" on the West Bank. "I never used the phrase 'functional compromise' and, believe me, I do not know what it means," the Premier said.
Dayan has been pushing that idea and has enlisted the support of some of his former colleagues in the Labor Party. Labor Alignment leader Shimon Peres has come out in favor of such an arrangement, though as a short-term solution, applicable for 5-10 years after which some sort of confederation would be established. But there has been no precise definition, even by Dayan of a "functional compromise."
The Labor Party itself is hardly of one view. Former Premier Golda Meir was sharply criticized yesterday by Labor MK Yossi Sarid for her "extremist" position on territorial withdrawals and her assertion that people should not be lured into be {SPAN}####{/SPAN} (Continue on page 3 unclear)

Also - don't forget about visiting Stone Mountain.
How does anyone have time to see or do anything outside the convention? Unless you stay for a day or two after the convention. 'Cause a day or two before the convention there's still convention stuff to do.
Everything except Six Flags and Stone Mountain are very close, within a couple of miles. Those two are more for any family that might be with an attendee.
Pitty Pat's Porch is another good place to eat.
I just heard about Stone Mountain in church yesterday. Too funny! So, how far is it from the convention? I'm wondering the same thing as Kirk. I'm set up to take pre-convention classes...how can one see Stone Mountain too? Is there time to walk around the Expo if you're in classes all day? I hope so. Also, what kind of "deals" can I really expect on equipment...like Nikon?
Near the convention for seafood is Legal Seafood. Been wanting to go to Gladys Knight's but the lines are mondo long on the weekends.
As long as I can find a slice of Pizza somewhere I will be happy.

The Emergence of the Harlem Renaissance (The Harlem Renaissance, 1920-1940)
The Harlem Renaissance was both a spontaneous outpouring of creativity by black writers and poets and a planned literary movement by the black intelligentsia. A decade before the first Renaissance works appeared, W.E.B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, and other intellectuals outlined their visions for a black literary movement. This volume includes early analysis of black literary activities as well as details of the literary contests sponsored by Crisis and Opportunity. It also often includes the "Harlem" issue of Survey Graphic and a selection from Carl Van Vechten's Nigger Heaven.

Cougars Set Record In 22-7 Victory At Northern Colorado
April 21, 2006
GREELEY, Colo. - Washington State University set a school record with 26 hits, including at least one from every starter, as the Cougars defeated Northern Colorado, 22-7, in the opening game of the nonconference series Friday afternoon at Jackson Field.
Following the win the Cougars improved to 24-15 on the season while the Bears fell to 14-23.
The 26 hits break the previous mark of 25, set twice during the 1999 season in back-to-back games against New Mexico State, Feb. 14-15. It also marks the most runs scored by a Cougar team since putting up 22 in a 22-10 win at New Mexico State, Feb. 14, 1999.
WSU never trailed in the contest, jumping out to a 6-0 lead thanks to a five-run second inning. Mike Gilbert, who led the way with four hits on the afternoon, drove in the first run of the inning with an RBI single through the left side. Jay Miller and Jared Prince also added RBIs in the frame. Northern Colorado answered in its half of the second, scoring four runs. Chad Clark drove in two with a double to right while Zach Brockman and Seth Tartler also drove in runs.
In the third, WSU put up five more runs on six hits, chasing Bear starter Chris Johns from the contest. The Cougars added another run in the fourth and five more in the sixth to take a commanding 17-6 lead. In the sixth, Miller connected for his third straight double, driving home Ryan Krauser.
Single runs in the seventh and eighth, followed by a three-run ninth closed out WSU's offensive attack as the Cougars scored in eight of the nine innings. In addition to Gilbert's four hits, to go with his four RBIs and two runs scored, Jay Miller had three doubles while Prince, Krauser and Paul Gran each added three hits. In all, 13 different players registered hits for WSU.
On the mound Mike Wagner picked up his fourth win of the season, going five innings while allowing six runs, three earned, on eight hits. Ross Humes worked the final four innings, surrendering one run on four hits to earn his first save of the year.
Northern Colorado had 12 hits on the game, led by Clark's three, to go with his three RBIs. Johnson suffered the loss as he allowed nine runs on 10 hits in two and 2/3 innings of work.
These same two teams continue their three-game series Saturday afternoon at Jackson Field. First pitch is set for noon, PDT.

Dateline Actually
It recently dawned on me that I haven't blogged in a minute. Not that you care, just making an observation. But, with the holidays just around the corner and a sudden influx of pregnancies and engagement announcements flooding my Facebook and Twitter timelines since Thanksgiving, I thought it may be time for a little self-evaluation. Isn't the holiday season grand?
As much as I enjoy my freedom, I'm turning 35 today (yes, today, December 4th is my actual birthday) and I wouldn't mind eventually becoming part of the obnoxious baby-boomers club. Not today because I plan on getting wasted later to celebrate another year of unused eggs but eventually.
I come from divorced parents and I know what you're thinking – "She's so lucky. She gets TWO Christmases!" But believe me when I tell you it isn't fun as much as it is an exercise in extreme time management. Yet, when people aren't gushing over the idea of getting double the oversized pj's and knitted socks, people are dissecting my current and perpetual "available" status and the subject of the afore mentioned divorce inevitably comes up. But, I would like to put that theory to rest as I've seen way more unhappy married couples than I ever have divorced.
Here is the real reason behind my self-imposed solitude:
Seriously, have you ever watched an episode of Dateline? That shit is terrifying!
In any given day, at any given time, at anywhere in the world, an episode of Dateline is airing. It's a fact. And what exactly is it about this particular show that contributes to my lack of emotional commitment? Let me explain…
For starters, in 2004, Chris Hanson brought us Dateline's To Catch a Predator series. In short, and for anyone not familiar, very young looking 18+ year old girls and boys were used as decoys to lure in unsuspecting older men looking for a little underage tail on the side. If (or shall I say when) the conversation turned sexual, the decoys would invite them over. Once inside the delightful Mr. Hanson would ask them to have a seat and question them on why they felt it appropriate to ask a 13 year old girl if she masturbated and if she wanted him to stick his blank in her blank.
Naturally, all the men, (and I only say men because a) no woman would be stupid enough to get caught doing dumb shit like that and b) only men ever ended up taking the bait and showing up to the house with cold McDonald's French fries and lube) had never done anything like this before, were only there to talk, and this was their first time coming over to the house of someone they thought to be underage. True story, just ask CanIRapeUAnally (Actual. Fucking. Screen name).
Aside from the obvious, why do I find this so completely disheartening? Because 90% of these men were married. Yes, married. Most even had kids. At home, some poor wife was playing Bejeweled and Angry Birds while her husband was trying to seduce a 12 year old with wine coolers.
Several law suits screaming entrapment and a District Attorney's suicide later and the show was eventually cancelled. Too bad, that was some solid journalism right there.
To Catch a Predator aside, here are just a few show descriptions for other Dateline episodes that have aired recently or are set to air which just reinforce the reason behind my fear of matrimony:
"Wealthy woman orders a hit on her estranged husband; she is arrested before anyone is hurt."
"A mother of three who was killed on a lonely dirt road just a mile from her home."
"Husband is shot while hunting; wife says she accidentally mistook him for a bear, but police learn the marriage was less than perfect."
"The latest in the story of Drew Peterson, who has been found guilty of murdering his ex-wife."
"A family feud erupts between a man's wife and step-daughter after the wealthy heir to Miami's Fontainebleau Hotel is murdered."
"A wife and mother of two who was found dead in her car in Grosse Pointe Park, Mich., and how her husband's secret life makes the police suspect that he may have been involved in the murder."
"A man accused of murdering a prostitute in 2003. His wife recently testified against her husband and revealed that he confessed the murder to her before threatening her into silence."
Need I say more?
So, mom, dad, if you're reading this, it wasn't you that fucked me up, it was my fascination with NBC and all things Dateline. Chris Hanson and Lester Holt sure have some explaining to do.

Ghost Writer — it was on some list of creepy books I saw around Halloween. I'd never read it. I reserved it. It stunk.
So slow.
I tried to get through it. I gave it a full week and was half way through and for two days I just couldn't bring myself to pick it up so I quit and it's back at the library where I hope it finds someone who enjoys it. That someone would not be me.

D and I are moving in the fall to the San Diego area; she got a job doing science stuff at the University of California there. The move is still a few months away but the two of us have started looking around at all of our stuff and asking ourselves, "Do I want to cart this across the state?" For a surprisingly large amount of things the answer is, "no, I don't." This is especially true for books now that I have a kindle. As I looked over my bookshelves I noticed that a great deal of the books on the shelves were over 100 years old and they were now in the public domain. With the kindle (or my computer) I can have access to those books without having them take up all this physical space. I did this over a decade ago with my music collection and had been putting it off with books because I love them so and the technology just wasn't there yet, that isn't the case anymore. So, I started sorting…
I know what you're saying! Getting rid of books is a crime. I used to think so to, but what I really love about a book is not the binding, or the paper, or the ink though with some books those are very nice things. What I love about a book is that it allows me to experience another person's thoughts and ideas. That is what makes books amazing and for their time they were the most efficient and effective way to spread ideas. That isn't the case anymore though.
For every book that I knew I wanted to keep I checked Amazon's Kindle store and Project Gutenberg; if a free copy existed I downloaded it and set the book aside. For every book that I wanted to keep but there wasn't a free version available on-line I looked for a $0.99 version. If there was one I purchased it. I splurged a few times and spent $1.99 or $2.99 for a digital collection that would replace multiple physical books. After I had downloaded all the books I was going to I went back to the stack of books and started entering them into Amazon's Trade-in store to see if Amazon was interested in buying a copy from me. Every book Amazon wanted went into a box to ship to them, every book they didn't went into another stack. At the end of that process I had one 40 pd box of books to send to Amazon and another stack to put up on Freecycle.
Amazon offered me $78.81 for all those books. I spent $12.93 picking up digital editions. That's a net gain of $65.88!
EDIT: I made a second pass through my library and found more books that are available digitally, so I repeated the process and sent off another box to Amazon! This time they're giving me $27.42
In the last week I've eliminated two entire bookshelves worth of books! The now empty bookshelves have gone up on Craigslist.

Yes, this is the same Luther Campbell from 2 Live Crew:
President Barack Obama needs to send the Justice Department in to investigate the absentee ballot fraud that is wrecking democracy in Miami-Dade County. We can't trust Mayor Carlos Gimenez and Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle with any investigations because the scandal leads back to them. In fact, it took a private investigator named Joe Carrillo to expose the outright theft of votes committed by the absentee ballot brokers allegedly hired by politicians like Gimenez and Rundle.
County public corruption detectives and the state attorney recently were forced to open a criminal probe after Carrillo, who says he has no connections to any candidates, gave them leads on two women, Deisy Cabrera and Matilde Martinez. The next day, while questioning the women, cops found that Cabrera was holding a dozen absentee ballots belonging to other voters.
After intense media scrutiny, Rundle finally arrested Cabrera last week on a third-degree felony of absentee ballot fraud and two misdemeanors for illegally possessing more than two ballots belonging to other voters. Rundle has recused herself from the case. She has a possible conflict of interest because her campaign manager, Al Lorenzo, also works for Gimenez's campaign. In past elections, Lorenzo has hired Cabrera to work for him.
The rest here.
Maybe now the MSM will take note since there is a celebrity component to the story now.

Context: One in 4 men in the US aged >50 will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture. Less data are available on osteoporosis treatment in men than women. Objective: Evaluate denosumab therapy in men with low BMD. Design: Phase 3 study with two treatment periods: a previously reported 12-month double-blind, placebo-controlled phase and a 12-month open-label phase. Setting: Multicenter in North America and Europe. Participants: 228 men entered the open-label phase and 219 completed the study. Intervention: Men from the original denosumab (long-term) and placebo (crossover) groups received denosumab 60 mg SC every 6 months. Main Outcome Measures: BMD, serum C-telopeptide (sCTX), and safety. Results: During the open-label phase, continued BMD increases occurred with long-term denosumab treatment (2.2% lumbar spine; 0.9% total hip; 1.3% femoral neck; 1.3% trochanter; and 0.2% 1/3 radius), resulting in cumulative 24-month gains from baseline of 8.0%, 3.4%, 3.4%, 4.6%, and 0.7%, respectively (all P<0.01). The crossover group showed BMD gains after 12 months of denosumab treatment similar to the long-term denosumab group during the first treatment year. Significant reductions in sCTX were observed following denosumab administration. Adverse events rates were similar between groups and no new safety signals identified. Conclusions: In men with low BMD, denosumab treatment for a second year continued to increase BMD, maintained reductions in bone resorption, and was well tolerated. BMD increased in men initiating denosumab during the second year. These effects were similar to those previously seen in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and men with prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy.

Background Sclerostin is an osteocyte-derived inhibitor of osteoblast activity. The monoclonal antibody romosozumab binds to sclerostin and increases bone formation. Methods In a phase 2, multicenter, international, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, eight-group study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of romosozumab over a 12-month period in 419 postmenopausal women, 55 to 85 years of age, who had low bone mineral density (a T score of -2.0 or less at the lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck and -3.5 or more at each of the three sites). Participants were randomly assigned to receive subcutaneous romosozumab monthly (at a dose of 70 mg, 140 mg, or 210 mg) or every 3 months (140 mg or 210 mg), subcutaneous placebo, or an open-label active comparator - oral alendronate (70 mg weekly) or subcutaneous teriparatide (20 mug daily). The primary end point was the percentage change from baseline in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine at 12 months. Secondary end points included percentage changes in bone mineral density at other sites and in markers of bone turnover. Results All dose levels of romosozumab were associated with significant increases in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, including an increase of 11.3% with the 210-mg monthly dose, as compared with a decrease of 0.1% with placebo and increases of 4.1% with alendronate and 7.1% with teriparatide. Romosozumab was also associated with large increases in bone mineral density at the total hip and femoral neck, as well as transitory increases in bone-formation markers and sustained decreases in a bone-resorption marker. Except for mild, generally nonrecurring injection-site reactions with romosozumab, adverse events were similar among groups. Conclusions In postmenopausal women with low bone mass, romosozumab was associated with increased bone mineral density and bone formation and with decreased bone resorption.

Context:The FREEDOM extension is evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of denosumab for up to 10 years.Objective:Report results from the first 3 years of the extension, representing up to 6 years of denosumab exposure.Design, Setting, and Participants: Multicenter, international, open-label study of 4550 women.Intervention:Women from the FREEDOM denosumab group received 3 more years of denosumab for a total of 6 years (long-term) and women from the FREEDOM placebo group received 3 years of denosumab (cross-over).Main Outcome Measures:Bone turnover markers (BTMs), bone mineral density (BMD), fracture, and safety.Results:Reductions in BTMs were maintained (long-term) or achieved rapidly (cross-over) following denosumab administration. In the long-term group, BMD further increased for cumulative 6-year gains of 15.2% (lumbar spine) and 7.5% (total hip). During the first 3 years of denosumab treatment, the cross-over group had significant gains in lumbar spine (9.4%) and total hip (4.8%) BMD, similar to the long-term group during the 3-year FREEDOM trial. In the long-term group, fracture incidences remained low and below rates projected for a "virtual placebo" cohort. In the cross-over group, 3-year incidences of new vertebral and nonvertebral fractures were similar to those of the FREEDOM denosumab group. Incidence rates of adverse events did not increase over time. Six participants had events of ONJ confirmed by adjudication. One participant had a fracture adjudicated as consistent with atypical femoral fracture.Conclusion:Denosumab treatment for 6 years remained well tolerated, maintained reduced bone turnover, and continued to increase BMD. Fracture incidence remained low. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 24 (2 ULiège)
