Enlightenment doesn't always come in the form we expect it. It need not be a self-styled guru or a complicated contraption measuring some mysterious quality. Sometimes it's as close as the chocolate lab bounding happily through the backyard, or the feisty terrier contentedly curled up on one's lap for a nap. In the foreword to this thoughtful, wonderfully illustrated gift book, Dr. Bernie Siegel says, "Dogs are healers. . . . They seem to have figured out how to live beautifully so much better than we humans have." Loosely modeled on 1980's underground classic The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment, this charming book celebrates the simple wisdom and that special combination of natural earthiness and subtle spirituality that characterizes humankind's best friend. Distinctive black-and-white dog images by acclaimed photographer Zackary Folk are accompanied by captions of down-to-earth spiritual wisdom "from" the dogs to their often confused "owners".

|Previous College:
|Montana State '00
|Assistant Coach (2nd Season)
Veteran Big West Conference assistant coach Danny Sprinkle joins the Cal State Fullerton men's basketball coaching staff for his second season on the sidelines in 2014-15 as the Titans recruiting coordinator.
"Coach Sprinkle has developed a great reputation in college basketball circles across the country," Taylor said. "He has a very good understanding of recruiting to our university based on over 10 years of experience in the Big West Conference and he will be the driving force behind our recruiting efforts as well as play a huge role in the development of each of our players both on and off the court. His energy is relentless as well as contagious and we are proud to have him as a part of the Titan basketball family."
In his first season at Fullerton, and less than seven months on the job, Taylor's staff committed its first official class during the early signing period in November of 2013. The Titans signed two local Southern California products in Jamar Akoh and Ron Freeman as well as transfers Malcolm Henderson and Lanerryl Johnson.
Sprinkle spent 11 seasons and two tours of duty as an assistant coach at Big West rival Cal State Northridge from 2001-06 and, again, from 2008-13, working with the Matadors' guards, assisting with the offense, and coordinating the program's recruiting efforts. In his first season, Northridge captured the Big Sky Conference regular season and tournament titles to make the school's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
While at Northridge, Sprinkle helped the Matadors to a pair of NCAA Tournament berths (2001 and 2009), Big West Conference regular season and tournament titles in 2008-09, the Big Sky regular season and tournament crowns in 2000-01, and another berth in the Big West Tournament championship game in 2003-04. In 2004, he was promoted to recruiting coordinator, recruiting or assisting in the recruitment of 15 all-conference players, including one conference tournament MVP, six all-freshman team selections, one freshman of the year, and 15 players who eventually went on to play professionally at some level.
He also spent two seasons as an assistant at his alma mater, Montana State, from 2006-08, serving as the Bobcats' recruiting coordinator, assisting with the offense, and development of MSU's perimeter players. As an undergraduate, Sprinkle was a four-year starter for the Bobcats, helping lead the program to four Big Sky Conference Tournaments -- including the championship game twice in 1996 and 1998 -- and was named the tournament MVP as a freshman after helping Montana State claim both the regular season and tournament titles.
A three-time All-Big Sky Conference selection, Sprinkle entered the 2012-13 season as the school's career record holder with 263 three-pointers made -- a total that also ranks fourth in Big Sky history -- while shooting .418 from three-point range and .473 from the floor overall for his career. He averaged 13.4 points per game in his four seasons, ranking sixth on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,497 points, while also collecting 233 assists and 74 steals.
Sprinkle, who was born in Pullman, Wash., and was an all-state selection in basketball twice at Helena High School in Montana, was inducted into the Montana State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2006 in his first year of eligibility. He graduated from Montana State in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in Health and Human Development.

You may have family photo albums full of people smoking at every type of event, from birthday parties to company picnics. That's because smoking was once accepted pretty much everywhere — even in doctor's offices. But that changed as we learned more about the health problems it causes.
If you have asthma, smoking is especially risky because of the damage it does to the lungs.
When someone smokes, he or she may cough, wheeze, and feel short of breath. This is because smoke irritates the airways, causing them to become swollen, narrow, and filled with sticky mucus. These are the same things that happen during an asthma flare-up. That's why smoking can cause asthma flare-ups to happen more often. Those flare-ups may be more severe and harder to control, even with medicine.
You may have started smoking because all your friends do or because you grew up in a house where lots of people smoked. Some people try smoking because they are curious or bored. No matter why you started, if you're thinking about quitting, it would probably help your asthma.
Smoking can undo the effect of any controller medicine you're taking. It also can force you to use your rescue medicine more often. It can also disturb your sleep by making you cough more at night and can affect how well you perform in sports or other physical activities. Worst of all, it can send you to the emergency department with a severe asthma flare-up.
If you decide to quit smoking, you don't have to go it alone. Seek the support of others who are also trying to quit. You also might ask your doctor about medication or different strategies that can help you crave cigarettes less.
Even if you don't smoke, you may still run into smoky situations in restaurants, parties, or even at home if one of your family members smokes. Secondhand smoke is a known asthma trigger, so you'll want to avoid it as much as possible if you have asthma.
If you hang out with smokers or have a family member who smokes in the house, you are likely to have more frequent and severe asthma symptoms. You may have to take more medicine and your asthma may be harder to control. Finally, you may find yourself at the doctor's office or emergency department more often because of asthma symptoms.
There's not much you can do about other people's behavior, but you should let your friends and family know that what they are doing is making your asthma worse. Ask them not to smoke in your house or car. It's your air, after all.

Laura's Enchiladas
Comment on this recipe
We eat a lot of Mexican food at our house. This recipe combines the leftover from tacos with whatever else is left in the fridge. All ingredients listed are "guesstimates" since I just add what is leftover. You can add any ingredients your family might like best.
1/2 pound cooked ground beef
1/2 pound cooked chorizo
2 cups prepared Spanish rice
1 cup refried beans
2 cups cubed cooked potatoes
1/2 cup peas
1-2 cans enchilada sauce (preferred Old El Paso "hot" variety)
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
12 flour tortillas
Sour cream
In a large skillet, stir together the previously cooked ground beef and chorizo. Add 2 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce. Cook over low heat; add the rice, beans, potatoes and peas. Mix well. Add more enchilada sauce as needed. You want the mixture to remain thick. Stir until well mixed and heated through.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of enchilada sauce onto a flour tortilla. In the center of the tortilla, spoon 3/4 cup of the meat mixture, top with 1 tablespoon cheddar cheese. Roll up tightly. Place tortillas in a greased 9x13-inch pan.
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.

|Whooping cough
|Classification and external resources
A young boy coughing due to pertussis.
|emerg/394 ped/1778
|Patient UK
Pertussis—commonly called whooping cough (/ˈwuːpɪŋ/, /ˈhuːpɪŋ/, or /ˈhwuːpɪŋ kɒf/)—is a highly contagious bacterial disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. In some countries, this disease is called the 100 days' cough or cough of 100 days.[1]
Symptoms are initially mild, and then develop into severe coughing fits, which produce the namesake high-pitched "whoop" sound in infected babies and children when they inhale air after coughing.[2] The coughing stage lasts approximately six weeks before subsiding.[citation needed] Prevention by vaccination is of primary importance given the seriousness of the disease in children.[3] Although treatment is of little direct benefit to the person infected, antibiotics are recommended because they shorten the duration of infectiousness.[3] It is currently estimated that the disease annually affects 48.5 million people worldwide, resulting in nearly 295,000 deaths.[4]
Signs and symptoms[edit]
The classic symptoms of pertussis are a paroxysmal cough, inspiratory whoop, and fainting and/or vomiting after coughing.[5] The cough from pertussis has been documented to cause subconjunctival hemorrhages, rib fractures, urinary incontinence, hernias, post-cough fainting, and vertebral artery dissection.[5] Violent coughing can cause the pleura to rupture, leading to a pneumothorax. If there is vomiting after a coughing spell or an inspiratory whooping sound on coughing, the likelihood almost doubles that the illness is pertussis. On the other hand, the absence of a paroxysmal cough or posttussive emesis makes it almost half as likely.[5]
The incubation period is typically seven to ten days with a range of four to 21 days and rarely may be as long as 42 days,[6] after which there are usually mild respiratory symptoms, mild coughing, sneezing, or runny nose. This is known as the catarrhal stage. After one to two weeks, the coughing classically develops into uncontrollable fits, each with five to ten forceful coughs, followed by a high-pitched "whoop" sound in younger children, or a gasping sound in older children, as the patient struggles to breathe in afterwards (paroxysmal stage).
Fits can occur on their own or can be triggered by yawning, stretching, laughing, eating or yelling; they usually occur in groups, with multiple episodes on an hourly basis throughout the day. This stage usually lasts two to eight weeks, or sometimes longer. A gradual transition then occurs to the convalescent stage, which usually lasts one to two weeks. This stage is marked by a decrease in paroxysms of coughing, both in frequency and severity, and a cessation of vomiting. A tendency to produce the "whooping" sound after coughing may remain for a considerable period after the disease itself has cleared up.
Methods used in laboratory diagnosis include culturing of nasopharyngeal swabs on Bordet-Gengou medium, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), direct immunofluorescence (DFA), and serological methods. The bacteria can be recovered from the patient only during the first three weeks of illness, rendering culturing and DFA useless after this period, although PCR may have some limited usefulness for an additional three weeks.
For most adults and adolescents, who often do not seek medical care until several weeks into their illness, serology may be used to determine whether antibody against pertussis toxin or another component of B. pertussis is present at high levels in the blood of the patient. By this stage they have been contagious for some weeks and may have spread the infection to many people. Because of this, adults, who are not in great danger from pertussis, are increasingly being encouraged to be vaccinated.
A similar, milder disease is caused by B. parapertussis.[7]
The primary method of prevention for pertussis is vaccination. There is insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of antibiotics in those who have been exposed but are without symptoms.[8] Prophylactic antibiotics, however, are still frequently used in those who have been exposed and are at high risk of severe disease (such as infants).[3]
Pertussis vaccines are effective,[9] routinely recommended by the World Health Organization[10] and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,[11] and are estimated to have saved over half a million lives in 2002.[10] The multi-component acellular pertussis vaccine, for example, is 71–85% effective with greater effectiveness for more severe disease.[9] Despite widespread use of the vaccine, however, pertussis has persisted in vaccinated populations and is today "one of the most prevalent vaccine-preventable diseases in Western countries".[12] The recent resurgences in pertussis infections are attributed to a combination of waning immunity and new mutations in the bacteria that existing vaccines are unable to effectively control.[12][13]
Immunization against pertussis does not confer lifelong immunity; a 2011 study by the CDC indicated that the duration of protection may only last three to six years. This covers childhood, which is the time of greatest exposure and greatest risk of death from pertussis.[5][14] For children, the immunizations are commonly given in combination with immunizations against tetanus, diphtheria, polio, and haemophilus influenzae type B at ages two, four, six, and 15–18 months.[15] A single later booster is given at four to six years of age (US schedule). In the UK, pertussis vaccinations are given at 2, 3, and 4 months, with a pre-school booster at 3 years 4 months.
Paul Offit, chief of the Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, comments that the last pertussis vaccination people receive may be their booster at age 11 or 12 years old. However, he states that it is important for adults to have immunity as well to prevent transmission of the disease to infants.[16] While adults rarely die if they contract pertussis after the effects of their childhood vaccinations have worn off, they may transmit the disease to people at much higher risk of injury or death. To reduce morbidity and spread of the disease, Canada, France, the U.S. and Germany have approved pertussis vaccine booster shots. In 2012, a federal advisory panel recommended that all U.S. adults receive vaccination.[17] Later that year, health officials in the UK recommended the vaccination of pregnant women (between 28 and 38 weeks of pregnancy) in order to protect their unborn children. Designed to protect babies from birth until their first standard vaccination at eight weeks of age, this vaccine was introduced in response to the ongoing outbreak of pertussis in the UK, the worst in over a decade.[18]
The pertussis booster for adults is combined with a tetanus vaccine and diphtheria vaccine booster; this combination is abbreviated "Tdap" (Tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis). It is similar to the childhood vaccine called "DTaP" (Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis), with the main difference that the adult version contains smaller amounts of the diphtheria and pertussis components—this is indicated in the name by the use of lower-case "d" and "p" for the adult vaccine. The lower-case "a" in each vaccine indicates that the pertussis component is acellular, or cell-free, which improves safety by dramatically reducing the incidence of side effects. Adults should request the Tdap instead of just a tetanus vaccination in order to receive the multi-vaccine. The pertussis component of the original DPT vaccine accounted for most of the minor local and systemic side effects in many vaccinated infants (such as mild fever or soreness at the injection site). The newer acellular vaccine, known as DTaP, has greatly reduced the incidence of adverse effects compared to the earlier "whole-cell" pertussis vaccine, however the efficacy of the acellular vaccine declines faster than the whole-cell vaccine.[19][20]
Infection with pertussis induces incomplete natural immunity that wanes over time.[21] Natural immunity lasts longer than vaccine-induced immunity, with one study reporting maximum effectiveness as long as 20 years in the former and 12 in the latter.[22] Vaccination exemption laws appear to result in increased cases.[23][24]
People with pertussis are infectious from the beginning of the catarrhal stage (runny nose, sneezing, low-grade fever, symptoms of the common cold) through the third week after the onset of paroxysms (multiple, rapid coughs) or until 5 days after the start of effective antimicrobial treatment.
A reasonable guideline is to treat people age >1 year within 3 weeks of cough onset and infants age <1 year and pregnant women (especially near-term) within 6 weeks of cough onset. If the patient is diagnosed late, antibiotics will not alter the course of the illness and, even without antibiotics, the patient should no longer be spreading pertussis.[3] Antibiotics decrease the duration of infectiousness and thus prevent spread.[3] Short term antibiotics (azythromycin for 3–5 days are as effective as long-term treatment (erythromycin 10–14 days) in eradicating B. pertussis from the oro-pharynx with less side effects.[25]
The antibiotic erythromycin or azithromycin is a front-line treatment[8] Newer macrolides are frequently recommended due to lower rates of side effects.[3] Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) may be used in those with allergies to first-line agents or in infants who have a risk of pyloric stenosis from macrolides.[3] Effective treatments of the cough associated with this condition have not been developed.[4]
Erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin are preferred for the treatment of pertussis in persons ≥1 month of age.
Common complications of the disease include pneumonia, encephalopathy, earache, or seizures.
Most healthy older children and adults will have a full recovery from pertussis, however those with comorbid conditions can have a higher risk of morbidity and mortality.
Infection in newborns is particularly severe. Pertussis is fatal in an estimated 1.6% of hospitalized infants who are under one year of age.[26] Infants under one are also more likely to develop complications, such as: pneumonia (20%), encephalopathy (0.3%), seizures (1%), failure to thrive, and death (1%)[26]—perhaps due to the ability of the bacterium to suppress immune response against it.[27] Pertussis can cause severe paroxysm-induced cerebral hypoxia and 50% of infants admitted to hospital will suffer apneas.[26] Reported fatalities from pertussis in infants have increased substantially over the past 20 years.[28]
Worldwide, whooping cough affects 48.5 million people yearly.[4] As of 2010 it caused about 81,000 deaths, down from 167,000 in 1990.[29] This is despite generally high coverage with the DTP and DTaP vaccines. Pertussis is one of the leading causes of vaccine-preventable deaths world-wide.[30] 90% of all cases occur in developing countries.[30]
Before vaccines, an average of 178,171 cases were reported in the U.S., with peaks reported every two to five years; more than 93% of reported cases occurred in children under 10 years of age. The actual incidence was likely much higher. After vaccinations were introduced in the 1940s, incidence fell dramatically to less than 1,000 by 1976. Incidence rates have increased since 1980. In 2012, rates in the United States reached a high of 41,880 people; this is the highest it has been since 1955 when numbers reached 62,786.[31]
Pertussis is the only vaccine-preventable disease that is associated with increasing deaths in the U.S. The number of deaths increased from four in 1996 to 17 in 2001, almost all of which were infants under one year.[32] In Canada, the number of pertussis infections has varied between 2,000 and 10,000 reported cases each year over the last ten years, and it's the most common vaccine preventable illness in Toronto.[33]
Australia reports an average of 10,000 cases a year, but the number of cases has increased in recent years.[34] In the U.S. pertussis in adults has increased significantly since about 2004.[35]
Outbreaks in the U.S.[edit]
|This article or section may be slanted towards recent events. (April 2014)
- 2010
In 2010 ten infants in California died and health authorities declared an epidemic with 9,120 cases.[36][37] Investigating the cases of the ten infant fatalities, it found that doctors had been misdiagnosing the infants' condition despite having seen infants on multiple visits.[38] Statistical analysis identified significant overlap in communities with cluster of nonmedical exemptions for children and cases of whooping cough. The study found the number of exemption varies widely among communities but tends to be highly clustered, in some schools more than ¾ of parents filed for exemptions not to vaccinate their children. The data suggest vaccine refusal based on nonmedical reason and personal belief may have been one of several factors, in addition to less long lasting effect of the current vaccine and most vaccinated adults and older children have not received a booster shot, contributed to the California outbreak in 2010.[39][40]
- 2012
In April and May 2012, pertussis was declared to be at epidemic levels in the US state of Washington with 3,308 cases by December.[41][42][43] In December 2012, the state of Vermont declared a pertussis epidemic with 522 cases.[44] The state of Wisconsin has the highest incidence rate, with 3,877 cases of whooping cough, however it did not release an official epidemic declaration.[43]
B. pertussis was isolated in pure culture in 1906 by Jules Bordet and Octave Gengou, who also developed the first serology and vaccine. Efforts to develop an inactivated whole-cell pertussis vaccine began soon after B. pertussis was grown in pure culture in 1906. In the 1920s, Louis W. Sauer developed a vaccine for whooping cough at Evanston Hospital (Evanston, IL). In 1925, the Danish physician Thorvald Madsen was the first to test a whole-cell pertussis vaccine on a wide scale.[45]
He used the vaccine to control outbreaks in the Faroe Islands in the North Sea. In 1942, the American scientist Pearl Kendrick combined the whole-cell pertussis vaccine with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids to generate the first DTP combination vaccine. To minimize the frequent side effects caused by the pertussis component of the vaccine, the Japanese scientist Yuji Sato developed an acellular pertussis vaccine consisting of purified haemagglutinins (HAs: filamentous strep throat and leucocytosis-promoting-factor HA), which are secreted by B. pertussis into the culture medium. Sato's acellular pertussis vaccine was used in Japan starting in 1981.[46] Later versions of the acellular pertussis vaccine used in other countries consisted of additional defined components of B. pertussis and were often part of the DTaP combination vaccine.
The complete B. pertussis genome of 4,086,186 base pairs was sequenced in 2004.[47]
Society and culture[edit]
Much of the controversy surrounding the DPT vaccine in the 1970s and 1980s related to the question of whether the whole-cell pertussis component caused permanent brain injury in rare cases, called pertussis vaccine encephalopathy. Despite this possibility, doctors recommended the vaccine due to the overwhelming public health benefit, because the claimed rate was very low (one case per 310,000 immunizations, or about 50 cases out of the 15 million immunizations each year in the United States), and the risk of death from the disease was high (pertussis killed thousands of Americans each year before the vaccine was introduced).[48]
No studies showed a causal connection, and later studies showed no connection of any type between administration of the DPT vaccine and permanent brain injury. The alleged vaccine-induced brain damage proved to be an unrelated condition, infantile epilepsy.[49] Eventually evidence against the hypothesized existence of pertussis vaccine encephalopathy mounted to the point that in 1990, the Journal of American Medical Association called it a "myth" and "nonsense".[50]
However, before that point, criticism of the studies showing no connection and a few well-publicized anecdotal reports of permanent disability that were blamed on the DPT vaccine gave rise to anti-DPT movements in the 1970s.[51] The negative publicity and fear-mongering caused the immunization rate to fall in several countries, including the UK, Sweden, and Japan. In many cases, a dramatic increase in the incidence of pertussis followed.[52]
Unscientific claims about the vaccine pushed suppliers of the vaccines out of the market.[48] In the United States, low profit margins and an increase in vaccine-related lawsuits led many manufacturers to stop producing the DPT vaccine by the early 1980s.[48]
In 1982, the television documentary DPT: Vaccine Roulette depicted the lives of children whose severe disabilities were inaccurately blamed on the DPT vaccine by reporter Lea Thompson.[53] The negative publicity generated by the documentary led to a tremendous increase in the number of lawsuits filed against vaccine manufacturers.[54] By 1985, manufacturers of vaccines had difficulty obtaining liability insurance. The price of the DPT vaccine skyrocketed, leading to shortages around the country. Only one manufacturer of the DPT vaccine remained in the U.S. by the end of 1985. To avert a vaccine crisis, Congress in 1986 passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA), which established a federal no-fault system to compensate victims of injury caused by mandated vaccines.[55] The majority of claims that have been filed through the NCVIA have been related to injuries allegedly caused by the whole-cell DPT vaccine.
The concerns about side effects led Yuji Sato to introduce an even safer acellular version of the pertussis vaccine for Japan in 1981. The acellular pertussis vaccine was approved in the United States in 1992 for use in the combination DTaP vaccine. Research has shown that the acellular vaccine has a rate of adverse events similar to that of a Td vaccine (a tetanus-diphtheria vaccine containing no pertussis vaccine).[56]

Proposals Due: March 7, 2014 to email@example.com
The Environment, Natural Resources, and Energy Law section of the Minnesota State Bar Association is seeking proposals for its 2014 Summer Clerkship Program. The ENRE Section will provide a grant of $1,500 to $3,000 to support a law student summer clerkship in the fields of environmental or energy law with a governmental entity, non-profit organization, or law firm. Organizations interested in hosting the 2014 clerkship should submit a proposal to firstname.lastname@example.com by March 7, 2014.
Proposals must specify: (1) the proposed projects for the law student; (2) the anticipated time requirements; (3) any financial support the organization would provide (e.g., matching funds); and (4) the planned oversight/management of the student's work. The proposals should focus on projects with the opportunity to develop the student's legal skills and knowledge of environmental or energy law.
All proposals will be reviewed by a Clerkship Committee consisting of members of the ENRE Section Council and the grant recipient will be selected by the ENRE Section Council. After the grant recipient is identified, the Clerkship Committee will solicit applications from law students and identify three finalists for the position. The grant recipient will select from among the three finalists to fill the summer clerk position.
The grant will be available only for non-revenue generating projects (i.e., the student may not work with a law firm on projects for fee-paying clients).
Any questions should be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Eldon is the first recipient of the Section's newly named Eldon G. Kaul Distinguished Service Award, in recognition of his 35 years of service in the Minnesota Attorney General's office. Eldon joined the AG's office in 1970 as a staff attorney in the State Solicitor General's office. In 1972, he became MPCA's chief counsel. In 1976, he was promoted to Managing Attorney for the Attorney General's Environmental Protection Division, a position he held until his retirement in 2004. Among his many career milestones, he represented MPCA in the Reserve Mining Company litigation involving the company's taconite plant in Silver Bay, Minnesota. The Reserve Mining litigation eventually resulted in the seminal Minnesota Supreme Court opinion on judicial review of administrative decisions, Reserve Mining Co. v. Herbst, 256 N.W.2d 808 (Minn. 1977). Eldon also represented MPCA and MDNR in a series of cases involving forest management policy, which culminated in a favorable decision for the state in Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy v. Minn. Pollution Control Agency, 644 N.W.2d 457 (Minn. 2002).

Following the CLE, the Section hosted a well-attended law student reception.
The MSBA Environmental, Natural Resources & Energy Section presented its annual Agency Update on November 6, 2013. Leonard Street & Deinard hosted the event, at which top state agency officials provided their perspectives on current and upcoming environmental, natural resource and energy issues in Minnesota. Over seventy attorneys attend to hear from … Click here for more information.
Recap of ENRE Law Student & New Lawyer Pizza Reception
Many students and lawyers attended this October 15th event, which provided Minnesota law students with an opportunity to connect with local environmental, natural resources and energy lawyers. The section extends its thanks to Dorsey & Whitney for hosting the event and to section liaison Tram Nguyen for coordinating it. As noted at the event, the ENRE Section encourages students to join us as section members, attend our upcoming CLEs, and act as contributing writers for our website.

Jackson Black Blankenship has two birthdays, a family, and too much free time.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
When I created this blog last summer, my goal was to contribute something to the few of you who read it (thank you by the way). Now that I have read a few blogs, I feel like I am getting the hang of writing a blog and unleashing the relentlessly rampaging thoughts in this head of mine. Any ways, I still want to contribute something to you guys, and I figured what is something I can discuss with complete strangers and still hold their attention? Food. And what better way is there to talk food than to talk about undiscovered food? Having said that, I present to you one of my favorite "small" eateries of Tuscaloosa:
Bama Wings Fish and More
As one of the wise men once said, "Oh my snappers." This Wendy's-turned-Wings restaurant features one of the cheapest and most fulfilling soul food locations in the great city of Tuscaloosa. Expect a nostalgic breakdown when you walk into this place, because your mind will trick you into believing you are at Wendy's.
It's extremely hysterical walking in because it's like Wendy moved out for college and her greasy, unemployed older brother took over his little sister's former room. Don't let that last sentence discourage you from going; this is truly the best wings restaurant in town.
1101 Skyland Blvd. ETuscaloosa, AL 35405
New Wilco! Holy moly.
Wilco - "I Might"
(Source: driver-suprise-me)
Well, I am at a turning point in my life. I graduated high school a little under a month ago. So naturally, I feel like college could be a fresh start to an eventually stale life (at the rate I was going). As a result of this new fascination, I felt like it'd be good to make a list of all the things I would like to accomplish while I'm in school. Because we all like lists, right?
10. Making viral videos
9. Producing an album filled with awesome yet strange music through Garage Band
8. Selling / Buying stuff on eBay
7. Going on an obscene amount of trips
7. Learn to count
6. Attempt stand up comedy
5. Meet Conan O'Brien
4. Join a band and play at least one bar show
3. [Over Four years] see every MLB team play. Even you, Toronto Blue Jays.
2. Make a short film
1. Dominate some intramural sports, yo.
and also, continue this fantastic blog.
I don't care what people say, Michael Jordan will never be the king of pop.

MOSCOW -- With his freshman season serving as Idaho's kicker and punter now over, Austin Rehkow has decided to take on another challenge.
University of Idaho Media Relations confirmed Wednesday that the Central Valley grad has joined the Vandal basketball team as a walk-on. Rehkow was an All-Greater Spokane League guard for the Bears, averaging over 14 points per game as a senior.
Rehkow was slated to begin practicing with Don Verlin's team as soon as Wednesday. However, since Rehkow was not able to take part in the official tryout for walk-ons, Verlin will use the next week of practices as an extended tryout.
For the time being the CV grad is officially on the Idaho roster.
The Vandals' next appearance takes place Saturday, when they host Washington State at 7:00 p.m.

Both can stake claim to be the best off spinner in the world now. Who do you guys reckon is better
Both can stake claim to be the best off spinner in the world now. Who do you guys reckon is better
If by both you mean Swann then I agree completely with you.
marc71178 - President and founding member of AAAS - we don't only appreciate when he does well, but also when he's not quite so good!
Anyone want to join the Society?
Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
Looks like troll bait to me.
Anyway, even if one suspects Swann is a bit overrated, at least his action is beyond reproach.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
Troll bait? Why is that
If comparison threads are not allowed, mods please delete it. My intention is not to to troll.
This thread is set to get very ugly very quickly.
Still won't get as as ugly as Ajmal's bowling, though.
Every 5 years we have an election and have to decide who are the least obnoxious out of all the men. Then one gets in and they age really quickly. Which is always fun to watch.
Well Ajmal has more of a claim to be just behind Swann than Harbhajan.
In tests Swann has really done well against quality sides. In ODIs Ajmal is very good. Also he has the doosra which Swann hasnt managed to develop yet
Having a doosra doesn't mean that someone's a better bowler, otherwise Alex Loudon might've been famous enough to keep Pippa Middleton.
Ajmal throws the doosra every other ball. Batsmen will soon start to pick it up.
So now it's the poms turn to have each of their players constantly compared with others from a weaker side.
Those were the days
Two of my favourite characters in the game. Probably not too dissimilar in quality, but Swann has the edge for at least pretending to keep his bowling arm straightish.
I don't wish to move this thread into a debate over whether Ajmal chucks it or not, he's allowed to bowl in international cricket, and he can still use his doosra, so I'm going to judge this face-off on all things being level in that respect.
I like Ajmal, he's not a defensive off-spinner, and with his ability to turn the ball away from the bat it no doubt increases his threat immeasurably. Like Swann he doesn't necessarily need the pitch to assist him in a big way to have an impact, he's patient, has good variations off the deck and through the air, and has to be considered one of the best around, but at 34 he's unlikely to have enough time to get to the very top.
Currently, for me Swann is still ahead of Ajmal, a Test series in India for Swann still remains a big test for the new and improved Swann, but even the great Shane Warne didn't conquer the opposition there, and it is not the be all and end all, but a good series for him in India will confirm his ranking as the very best.
When Swann isn't taking wickets he's still keeping things economical and working to an alternative plan. His line is generally attacking outisde the off stump, and he too can beat the bat on the outside without having the use of the doosra. Am hoping to see Swann return to his absolute threatening best when we come across Pakistan at the start of next year.

The TSX is equipped with a sophisticated six-airbag system, which includes two front and two front side airbags, and two side curtain airbags with coverage for the front and outboard rear seats41. All five seating positions have 3-point belts and head restraints. The front seats also have load-limiting tensioners and active head restraints.
The TSX has several features addressing child safety, from sophisticated airbag sensors to anchors that secure child seats.
Acura utilizes Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure to enhance occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes.
The disc brakes on the TSX are backed up by several sophisticated electronic systems to provide you with enhanced braking abilities under almost any circumstance.
The Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®)12 system uses an array of sensors, along with ABS to reduce the dangers of oversteer or understeer.
Since an under-inflated tire impedes handling and can be a safety hazard, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses pressure sensors mounted in each wheel that send readings to a central electronic control unit. The system then evaluates whether the pressure is up to an acceptable range.
Like every Acura model, the TSX comes equipped with a security system. In the event of a break-in, the following events will occur:

1. Overview
This document presents the five-year plan for Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS). It takes the approach of directly discussing the objectives raised in the University's Corporate Plan 2005-6 to 2009-10, indicating targets identified by OUCS to meet these strategic objectives. At present this forms the best overview of the strategic direction of the University, but during the course of 2008 it is recognised that the University's Strategic Plan will emerge though it is suggested the general objectives listed here would remain the same.
The plan is divided into sections presenting a review of last year's OUCS five-year plan, and then a section-by-section analysis of the key strategies outlined in the University's Corporate Plan.
This document by OUCS is reviewed by its internal User Services Team, before presenting to the PRAC ICTC sub-committee (PICT) and the OUCS Management sub-committee (a sub-group of PICT).

Should we let homeopathy be?
The biggest dilemma for me is that placebo is proven to work better if the physician also believes he's giving real medecine. In this view, homeopathy is the perfect placebo. Even the people making it, through laborious dilutions, have GOT to believe in it, or their high school knowledge about chemistry would make it tempting to skip the whole process and make more profit selling sugar.
It's even got quantum mechanics watching its back, losing the more curious ones in complexe explanations about just how complexe liquid water is.
And of course, the idea is fun. Like cures like. 1/1000000th of a molecule of ethanol to cure a hangover.
Sure it's tempting to ridicule the whole industry for the billion dollar quackery it is. But one might actually find that it's saving a lot of healthcare money, and that it WORKS! And it works because we let it, because we don't ask for double-blind tests...
So what's your view on this? Is homeopathy a cheap way to heall the credulous? Or has it gone too far and is part of what makes the transition to the age of reason so darn slow?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 23 2013: Homeopathy is placebo? Really? If that's true you would expect that illnesses could be ameliorated or cured with any one of the 3,000 remedies in common use. Simply take one -- any one -- and watch your illnesses fade away. But it doesn't work that way. The only homeopathic remedy which can ameliorate or cure is the one remedy that is most similar to the totality of the patient's symptoms and works well for his constitutional type. No other remedy will have an effect on the condition being treated.
I've used homeopathy for many, many years with great success in acute conditions, chronic conditions and injuries. Sometimes the first remedy chosen gets the job done, but there are also times when I've been prescribed two or three remedies before my homeoopath finds the one that cures. My success with homeopathy over many years gives me a certain level of trust ("skeptics" would call it a "belief") and yet if the similimum isn't prescribed, I don't get better.
There's another question we could ask, too: Why doesn't con med have the wonderful "placebos" homeopathy has?
Oct 23 2013: I have to agree with Christine, homeopathy is no placebo. As a patient and student of homeopathy for the past 20+ years, I have benefited immeasurably from homeopathy. The homeopathic remedy Belladonna (from my home first aid homeopathic remedy kit) helped alleviate a toothache from an abscessed tooth over a weekend when my dentist was unavailable. My husband also benefited from homeopathy for two herniated discs, documented by ultrasound and x-rays. He was able to avoid costly surgery that gave him no guarantee. Walking with a cane before homeopathic treatment by our family homeopath, my husband was playing golf a few months later. Experiences such as this, although anecdotal, convince millions of homeopathic patients world-wide that homeopathy is a safe, inexpensive health care alternative choice. We paid for our own homeopathic treatment and drove 3 hours round trip for the consultation.
Roger BirdOct 23 2013: I have a pinched nerve between my L5 and S1 vertebra. I am under homeopathic care and acupuncture and home traction and nutritional support. It is working, but I feel like I have a way to go. Being 68 (in 1 hour and 53 minutes) probably is why it is taking so long to heal. But I use Arnica 30C for the pain and it works like a charm.
Oct 24 2013: Guys, there are people that swear that God helps them with their predicaments regardless of the fact that there is not the least of evidence for such god.
People believe what they want to believe, no matter whether or not this belief makes any sense.
This is true for homeopathy, astrology, supernatural beings, conspiracy theories and many others.

I'm sure I've heard before that the time to harvest potatoes is when the flowers fall off. Is that right or is it more complicated than that? For example, does it differ based on climate or variety, etc.?
Every time I've grown potatoes, there's been a day when the plants as a whole just all collapse. Distressed, I've dug up to see what's going on, and ended up with perfectly nice potatoes. If that doesn't happen to you, then do it before a frost, because potatoes aren't one of those vegetables that is nicer for frost exposure.
(Actually I grow them in a stack of tires, so "dug" isn't quite the right word, but "knocked over" doesn't make sense without the context.)
Given the size difference between "new potatoes" and "ordinary potatoes" in the store, and the historical role of potatoes as an everyday staple, I'm pretty sure there's a huge range of acceptable harvest times. The only downside of too early is that you might have got more by waiting. So don't do all the plants at once until you know you're done for the year - either because the plants have died or because there's a frost coming.
If you harvest when the flowers fall you will get a more tender potato, better for frying and boiling. If you wait until the tops are dried, you get the best storage potatoes, better for mashing and baking. Harvesting over time is easier on you and gives a steady supply.
Also, there is nothing wrong with frost on the vines at maturity, because the vines are useless to the plant at that time. The vines are going dormant like most other perennials do near the hardest time of year. Frost Might make the vines dry out, but you don't need to worry unless you are going to get a hard freeze. You will want to harvest The rest of your potatoes before the hard freezes start.

delicious a little kicky for me so next time I cut both cumin and pepper in half still had a kick but not as spicy.
Weird combo. Not too bad though.
I made this today and it was really good. I used roasted red bell peppers but that is the only thing I changed. We will be having this again for something different.
This was even better than expected. Depending on the BBQ pulled pork, consider adding a little more BBQ sauce to taste. The green onions really enhance this dish, so they are well worth including. Thanks for the great recipe.
It was not liked by anyone in my family. I used our favorite bbq pork leftovers too, but for some reason it just didn't work. For me it was the bbq with the pasta, but my husband didn't like the tomatoes mixed in.
