The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced on Tuesday that they will play their 2013 home schedule at the University of Guelph.
Alumni Stadium, home of the CIS Guelph Gryphons, has recently undergone an $18 million renovation and, with temporary seating, could reach a capacity of 15,000.
"With the University of Guelph's Alumni Stadium located just 17 minutes from the City of Hamilton's northern border, combined with its gorgeous setting, we think our fans will love this solution," said Tiger-Cats president Scott Mitchell in a statement. "It's also a perfect fit for our very successful regional marketing campaign and we look forward to working with University of Guelph to make this happen."
The team just completed its final season at Ivor Wynne Stadium, which is scheduled to be demolished this month. A new stadium is expected to be ready for the 2014 CFL season, which left the team without a home field for 2013.
Tuesday's announcement does not preclude the Ticats from playing one or two games out of their market, like Moncton or Quebec City.
Ron Joyce Stadium in Hamilton, home of the McMaster Marauders of the CIS and the Tiger-Cats during training camp, was not made available to the team.

In a not-too-distant future, North America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games.
Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. As the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch.
When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart Peeta, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.

2012 Guide Analysis: "With "Harry Potter" over and the "Twilight" franchise wrapping up, many studios have been trying to develop franchises based on other successful young adult literary series in an effort to emulate that level of success. None however have come closer to potentially reaching that goal than this first of a proposed trilogy based on the novels by Suzanne Collins.
Already dubbed the most anticipated film of next year amongst women in several polls, where 'Hunger' could surprise is that it has far more cross over appeal with men than the "Twilight" saga. There's no frigid virgins and vegan vampires trying to channel Lord Byron here.
Instead we have a moderately grounded science fiction action story which plays like a mashup of "Battle Royale" and "The Running Man". In this what remains of North America has now been split into twelve districts and every year a teenage boy & girl are chosen from each district to risk their lives in a ruthless competition for survival - 24 go in, but only one can come out.
With a costly $100 million budget, this is a big risk for Lionsgate but one that's expected to pay off big time for them, so much so they've already set a late 2013 release date for the sequel. There's a solid cast and crew involved and while a very early teaser was a dud, the first proper trailer launched a few months ago and surprised the hell out of lot of people with just how good it actually looked (and they were essentially only scenes from the first act). Easily the biggest film of this Spring."

With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies?
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The MLP universe has three recent upstream additions that are an interesting option for income investors, but people need to be careful they understand the risks in what they're buying.
Yields of LRR Energy LP (NYSE: LRE), QR Energy LP (NYSE: QRE), and Memorial Production Partners (NASDAQ: MEMP) are tempting. Double-digit yields are rare in any market. In this yield-starved market, they're almost impossible to uncover. Those high yields suggest a lot of risk, and investors would be wise to take notice. These three sponsored MLPs are built a little different than some of their peer group. This difference from top peers like Linn Energy (NASDAQ: LINE) and Legacy Resources LP (NASDAQ: LGCY) produces some unique corporate governance issues.
Unlike other peers that hunt for acquisitions on their own, all three of these new MLPs are "sponsored" by private equity groups. That has some advantages that management likes to point out. It also has some potential detractions that management avoids pointing out.
It's comforting that the sponsor has a ready and waiting pile of assets that can be fed, or "dropped-down" to the Limited Partner at will. This knife cuts both ways, though. Since the sponsor controls the General Partner that manages the LP, these drop-downs come at the will of the sponsor. If the deals aren't fairly priced, this relationship becomes less of an advantage and more of a problem. There's a potential conflict of interest inherent in the structure.
LRR Energy is only a year old. It's had a tight coverage ratio in its short life, and that's concerning. With MLPs, it's all cash flow. They give you the cash they bring in, minus expenses. An MLP's distributable cash flow (DCF) is far more important than any traditional metric. DCF is the quarterly cash flow (EBITDA), less maintenance capex required to keep the oil flowing. It excludes any capex required for growth. You want to see DCF growth on a per share basis.
The distribution coverage ratio is equally critical. It's the ratio of the distributable cash flow (DCF) to the distribution itself. In essence, it's the wiggle room that the partnership has to cover what it pays to you, the unitholder. The better partnerships seek to keep it at 1.1 or higher. In Q2, LRE's coverage was 1.06, and it's ticked up nicely to 1.14 due to a recent drop-down from their sponsor, Lime Rock Resources. That's the advantage of a sponsor. When short on cash flow, the partners can count on a little help from above.
The drop-down provides some much needed production. What it doesn't provide is a suitable long term solution. The proven reserves transferred are too small and the price is too big. LRE paid Lime Rock Resources $67 million for the bolt-on acquisition. Production was only 765 BOEd (barrels of oil equivalent per day), but every little bit helps as the improved coverage ratio indicates. The bulk of the drop-down was also in the oily Permian Basin, and reserves were 83% liquids. Mostly liquid acquisitions are nice in this horrible natural gas pricing environment.
The problem is the cost on a reserve basis. The drop-down adds only 1.73 MMBOE (million barrels of oil equivalent) in proved reserves. At a $67MM cost, that's $38.73 per BOE in the ground, a very high price. When looking for a comp on an acquisition, I think it's easiest to look to peers for pricing, and no one provides a more aggressive comp than Linn Energy. Linn operates overlapping properties and has the same focus on mature, long-lived production assets. More to the point, Linn is very active and very disciplined in its acquisitions. Linn's always in the market and does not overpay.
Looking to Linn for a comp suggests LRE Energy badly overpaid. Linn made two Permian acquisitions in 2011, averaging $17.45 per BOE. That's less than half of what LRE's sponsor charged its own partnership. In fact, Linn didn't make a single transaction in the last year and a half that cost more than $26 per BOE. The $39 price LRR Energy paid their sponsor isn't a positive sign for good corporate governance.
That highlights the inherent General Partner risk that exists in sponsored MLPs. In the case of all three of the new Upstream MLPs, the sponsors are private equity, and when it comes right down to it, the LP is a financing vehicle that the sponsor is using to monetize assets. The sponsors own the GP and call the shots. As a captive partner beholden to the decisions of the GP, you need to be keeping an eye on what you're being forced to pay with any sponsored acquisition.
With only 6.5 MBOEd (thousand BOE per day) of production and only 31 MMBOE of reserves at quarter's end, LRR Energy is definitely a lightweight. Therein lies the real problem. Growth through acquisition is necessary for any MLP to grow its distribution and that likely means more drop-downs from Lime Rock Resources. Investors need to be wary of the pricing of these future deals. A Big Brother just isn't much of an advantage when he steals your lunch money.

Nobody Does It Better
Noting how tall Riddick is, checking the incredible circumference of his biceps, or seeing how his bubble butt and always ready cock is barely able to be restrained by his shorts; any way you slice it, this is whole lot of man. As if he did not make it clear enough last week when he shot his load clear up to those massive pecs, our Mr. Clean has one of the dirtiest minds and a silver tongue that renders you powerless to say anything but �oh yes� to whatever he might propose � that is of course, if you are capable of saying anything at all. When it was us doing the proposing, and the offer was for big bucks for going down on a big dick, he not only took us up on our offer, Riddick also took all eight inches of Commando's cock right down his throat, in an afternoon that redefined what �straight but not narrow� really means when a man has more confidence than shame and the balls to do whatever job comes along to the best of his ability. We paid the fee, Riddick paid his dues, and today we get to see with our eyes Riddick doing what we have been picturing in our minds since day one: fucking some man's ass and loving every minute of it.Despite offering up a king's ransom, we could not find another straight guy who would let a testosterone machine like Riddick go gonzo on their ass, so we immediately called Cole, who took one look at Riddick and was ready to pay us! �I like it doggie-style,� Cole says, as he stares right at Riddick's crotch and then drops his face down and begins a taste test of the meat he knows is destined to redefine just how much pleasure his ass is capable of delivering. Riddick kicks off his shorts, hangs his heavy arm over Cole's neck to steer that open mouth on a cock that we have never seen this hard. Taking Riddick's cock right down to his balls, Cole keeps that meat all the way down his throat as he pivots himself to his knees and begins to lick the head like an ice cream cone until Riddick decides he wants a little dessert himself. He gives an admirable job trying to suck down the wrist thick, eight-inch slab of Cole's, but is happy to give his jaws a rest and put Cole's tongue back to work by spreading his legs to expose the hole between those perfectly-round tan cheeks and letting Cole go to town. Moving to the bed, Riddick feeds Cole his cock once more. And after a sixty-nine on the floor, Cole's ass takes center stage; and Riddick's cock is ready for its starring role.His butt out and his back arched, Cole hungers to be filled with that dick that just minutes ago was in his mouth. His hole inhales Riddick's cock with a hunger and a desire so infectious, it would even make a strict top want to switch sides just to feel the overwhelming bliss that is radiating from every pore of his body. After reaching back to pull Riddick even closer, they move to the bed, where Cole sits down on Riddick's cock and proceeds to ride that meat like a jockey coming in for the home stretch. Lying on the floor, Cole once again plays �pole on one,� facing Riddick as Riddick grabs Cole's cock with a tight grip. With every motion of Cole's hips, Riddick's fingers jack that fat cock until Cole explodes with a massive load all over Riddick's chest. Riddick spews off a huge dose of sperm that mixes with Cole's, covering his tan chest with enough white icing to decorate a wedding cake. We are not sure what else Riddick is up for, but whatever he proposes, you can bet we will say the same thing you will: �We do!�

See ya in Baltimore!
in Conventions by Guigar
Friday, August 31, 2012 - 12:00 AM
It's hard to believe it's time for one of my favorite conventions of the year already! Baltimore Comic Con is always a highlight on my con schedule, and this year I'm trying hard to make it as special as I can for the people who make it so enjoyable for me.
Right now... at this very minute... the latest Evil Inc graphic novel -- Evil Inc: When Worlds Collide -- is being printed and assembled in America's great Midwest. We are confident that they will be completed in time for the show, and -- barring any unforseen complications -- these will start out as being exclusives for the Baltimore Comic con.
Once I return home, I will open up the online ordering system for everybody!
Also on hand will be the poster, "Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Supervillains," all of the previous Evil Inc books, original art from both Evil Inc and Courting Disaster, prints and more.
And, like a cherry on top of a sundae, I'll be joined at my booth my the tremendously talented Mary Cagle. You've seen Mary's coloring on some recent PvP strips and you're probably already a fan of her comic, Kiwi Blitz. Now you'll have a chance to come out to booth 1801 and meet her in person.

Comments about SKB Explorer/Firebird-Type Guitar Hardshell Case:
Made for a Explore, made for the Charvel star.
Comments about SKB Explorer/Firebird-Type Guitar Hardshell Case:
For what I paid for this case I taught that it would be a best case for my Firebird guitar. Boy was I wrong the SKB case is made in China AND IS TOTAL GARBAGE. The guitar does not fit in the case very good, and there is a 3/32 gap when you close the case. And also cheap locking hardware, no quailty at all. This is the worst case that you can by for your guitar, Your better off with a gigbag.
Comments about SKB Explorer/Firebird-Type Guitar Hardshell Case:
This is a very nice case. It's built to take whatever abuse you have. I bought it over the Epiphone case because most of the guitars I own are either Firebirds or similar guitars. It fits my Gibson neck-thru Firebird V and the Epiphone set-neck Firebird Studio with a Bigsby B5 wonderfully. I also have a bolt-on neck Epiphone Firebird (Slasher) and a bolt-on Explorer copy (an old Hondo) that do not fit as the neck joint does not sit right in the case. I also have a set-neck Gibson RD Standard that does not fit due to the lower horn shape (although it looks similar to a Firebird). The case could be modified to fit these guitars. So overall, the case is GREAT for Gibson Firebird/Explorer (just like it says) and that's about it.
Comments about SKB Explorer/Firebird-Type Guitar Hardshell Case:
This case is top of the line. But, CAUTION: THIS CASE DOES NOT FIT A MOCKINGBIRD. I thought I would give it a try, and it is really close, but the neck portion of the cradle is too long for the BC Rich Mockingbird, and consequently the lid won
Comments about SKB Explorer/Firebird-Type Guitar Hardshell Case:
It is a fine case overall but it doesn't fit my epiphone prophecy futura that I bought it for. With some mutilation guitar is accepted. Would say this case is much better suited to a Firebird then the Explorer types and would suggest building a differnet case for each guitar instead of a " one size fits some " case.
Comments about SKB Explorer/Firebird-Type Guitar Hardshell Case:
I originally ordered the Epiphone case along with my Firebird Studio, and my heart sank when I saw the box damaged. So was the case, I decided I needed better quality; the SKB delivers in spades! This thing is a TANK; the pictures don't give you any idea how big it really is, but its one of a few made for Firebirds and I have no doubt it will do the job. The quality is excellent, they didn't go cheap anywhere. You get what you pay for definitely applies here!

Bond was set at $800,000 Friday for a man charged with shooting a bartender outside a Little Village neighborhood tavern on Wednesday night.
Adolfo Zuniga, 27, of the 2900 block of West 25th Place, was taken into custody Wednesday night and charged Thursday with aggravated battery and use of a deadly weapon, according to a statement from Chicago Police.
About 11:40 p.m. Wednesday, a 29-year-old bartender was outside the bar in the 2600 block of West 24th Street when Zuniga allegedly walked up and shot him twice, police said.
The bartender was taken in serious condition to Mount Sinai Hospital with gunshot wounds to the abdomen and groin, police said. His condition has since stabilized.
Zuniga was detained after officers on patrol saw him running from the scene, police said.
He appeared in court Friday and Judge Maria Kuriakos-Ciesel ordered him held on an $800,000 bond, Cook County State's Attorney's office spokesman Stephen Campbell said. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Oct. 9.

Big tastes make it easy on the wallet
Date: August 19, 2009
by: Stephanie Hannum | Black Tie Editor
On any given Thursday or Friday evening, the bar is packed and spills out onto the patio — which must mean it's happy hour at Hyde Park Sarasota.
When the owners of Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse, based in Cleveland, realized that the smoking ban in bars could possibly hinder its crowd, they had to get creative.
"Outside of the economic times, part of what we looked at was that many bars were getting rid of smoking so we had to get innovative," says Matt Berlekamp, general manager of Hyde Park Sarasota. "We thought, 'OK, bars don't have same draw as they used to without smoking, so what do we do to drive that kind of interest?'"
Thus, the small-plates-and happy-hour-drink menu was created and has generated quite the buzz.
Due to the recession, though, small-plate menus and happy-hour specials seem to be the more attractive part of restaurants, rather than the more expensive dining-room menus.
"This (the bar) is more consistently busy — we have not seen the same fluctuation in the bar as we do in the dining room," Berlekamp says. "Adding small plates and cocktails, this brings people in to realize this is an active and festive place in town. Location specific, this is the busiest bar in the company."
Creating a buzz in Sarasota may not be entirely difficult to do, but retaining it is, and Hyde Park Sarasota still has the happy-hour crowd coming back from week-to-week. Not to mention, many other restaurants in town have followed suit, adding affordable and tasty small plates as well.
Although Berlekamp believes imitation is the best form of flattery, in response to other restaurants offering similar deals, he also notes a difference.
"Hyde Park offers great value for what you get. I believe it's unique that we're offering premium liquor in our happy-hour drinks while most other places don't," he says.
Hyde Park Sarasota offers a half-dozen small plates — including grilled Angus sirloin sliders, calamari, oysters on the half shell and ahi tuna — for $5, as well as $4 select martinis and cocktails, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. to close Monday through Friday. Berlekamp notes the most popular selections are the sliders (which is enough for a meal for light eaters) and the Pure martini.
"The bar opens at 4 p.m., and on busy nights, at 10 (minutes) 'til 4 p.m. we will have people knocking on the door."
Hyde Park
35 S. Lemon Ave., Sarasota. 366-7788.
Numbers on a typical Friday night happy hour in the bar at Hyde Park Sarasota.
• 120 or more sliders served
• 150 Pure martinis served
• 240 small plates served
• 17 bar seats, 35 additional bar seats available and 30 patio seats

The 6th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties
Technical Session E:
Criteria for Identifying Wetlands of International Importance
Chair: Mr Abdoulaye N'Daiye (Senegal)
Vice Chair: Mr Mihaly Vegh (Hungary)
Secretariat: Dr Montserrat Carbonell (Ramsar Bureau)
Keynote Presentations
"The Importance of Fishes and Fisheries in Wetlands: the need for an additional Ramsar criterion for the designation of sites of international importance based on their fish and fisheries," Dr Michael Bruton, Two Oceans Aquarium, South Africa
"The Need for Improving Coverage of Plants and Invertebrates in the Existing Ramsar Criteria and Guidelines," Dr Peter Bacon, University of the West Indies, Trinidad & Tobago
"Estimating International Waterbird Populations: the Use of Criterion 3(c)," Dr David Stroud, Joint Nature Conservation Committee, UK
The Chair
indicated that the business and expected output of Technical Session E concerned three Draft Resolutions, namely Resolutions VI.2, VI.3, and VI.4.
The Vice Chair
as a member of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel, gave the background to the work done together with other experts, as recommended in Recommendation 5.9 of the Kushiro Meeting of the COP, in relation to the proposed new criteria for fish and fisheries. He also indicated that the STRP had considered the need for reviewing the existing criteria but not to change them.
Dr Bruton
detailed six characteristics which demonstrated the importance of fishes in wetlands (biodiversity and biodisparity, endemicity, threatened status, productivity and yield, ecological roles, and economic value); he outlined the proposed 4th Criterion and defined its terms. He referred to changes to the criteria proposed by Australia and WWF. He concluded that the 4th Criterion would greatly enhance the relevance of the Convention in the developing world, and would stimulate fish research and conservation, to the benefit of many, but that the guidelines should be used holistically, based on the catchment management approach adopted by the Convention. Two countries had tested the proposed criteria with the result that new sites had been identified, all of them coastal; the criteria also strengthened the international importance of the already listed sites.
Dr Bacon
focused his paper on plants and invertebrates but was not prepared to propose new criteria for these groups. Greater consideration should be paid to freshwater and marine plants to identify important wetlands. These can be accommodated under Criterion 1 but their botanical features and in some cases their uniqueness needs to be highlighted. Inclusion of plant type in identification criteria permits wetland monitoring by remote sensing, providing a more sensitive method for gauging wetland health and status. Plants may also serve as indicators of ambient environmental conditions, particularly as these relate to hydrology. The presence and distribution patterns of plants could be used to relate Ramsar criteria more directly to wetland functional values. Wetland invertebrates have important ecological roles (foods webs, decomposition) and economic values. Their presence and roles can largely be inferred by study of wetland vegetation distribution. Existing Criteria 1 and 2, and proposed Criterion 4, provide adequate coverage for wetland invertebrate values.
Dr Stroud
recommended that international waterfowl population estimates be updated every three years, but that 1% thresholds should be revised every nine years, enabling them to act as a benchmark against which the importance of individual sites can be measured.
New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland
welcomed fish as a criterion but expressed concern about the inclusion of fisheries in proposed Criterion 4(c). The proposed formulation would lower the threshold for listing sites and lead to too many new designations. The term "fish stocks" was preferred.
wished the fish definitions to include other families, such as Thryamids and Cyramids.
The UK
expressed a number of anxieties about further measures which could lead to conflict or overlap with existing national and/or regional regulations. Consideration of fish and fisheries should be considered under the terms of Criterion 2, and guidelines in relation to fish and fisheries should be developed at regional or national levels.
suggesting small amendments to Draft Resolution VI.2 came from Italy, Trinidad & Tobago, the Nature Conservation Council of New South Wales, and the Inland Rivers Network of Australia, but were generally supportive. Sri Lanka supported the incorporation of fish, plant and hydrological functions, and the review of existing criteria to facilitate identification of internationally important wetlands of types currently under-represented. IUCN stressed the need for hydrological functions to be considered and was preparing a recommendation. Chile and Ghana thought that the inclusion of fish criteria was advantageous but the lack of financial resources to obtain needed information was a concern.
had successfully tested the guidelines and identified important sites which the other criteria had not. The use of fish criteria had helped to incorporate whole catchments, just as the bird criteria help to bridge wetlands in different continents through flyway networks.
Guinea Bissau and Israel
supported Draft Resolution VI.2 and indicated that it would help in identifying new sites and in acceding to the Convention respectively.
supported Draft Resolution VI.3 because of concern at the growing number of criteria, and suggested giving consideration to bringing them together.
stated that passerines ecologically dependent on wetlands should be taken into account when identifying, nominating or reporting on wetlands of international importance.
felt that, with the adoption of fish and fisheries criteria, the time had come to change the name of the Convention. The Slovak Republic supported this view.
Dr Bruton
answered the queries addressed to him through the interventions and stated that the guidelines can continue to be modified so as to make them applicable both regionally and globally. He agreed with the use of the word "stocks" in place of "fisheries" in Criterion 4(c).
Dr Bacon
in relation to his presentation, agreed with New Zealand's view that it was sensible to use plants as indicators for designating sites, especially concerning ephemeral wetlands. He shared the Slovak Republic's concern over the classification of wetland types and suggested that an ecosystem approach is required in the criteria.
The Chair
asked for written statements to be passed to the redrafting committee, which would look at Draft Resolutions VI.2 and VI.3. This would comprise Norway, New Zealand, the UK, Trinidad & Tobago, Senegal, South Africa, Dr Bruton, Dr Bacon, and Bureau staff. [Subsequently, Iceland replaced Norway.]

Women's Health Alert: New treatments for pain and bleeding
Eric Grossman, MD
. These included hormonal therapy, surgical fibroid removal and hysterectomy. Wanting a definitive end to the problem, Wieczerzak opted for a hysterectomy, the removal of her uterus.
Different approaches to hysterectomy
In addition to open abdominal hysterectomy —in which the uterus is removed through a four-inch abdominal incision —there are minimally invasive options such as laparoscopic and vaginal hysterectomies. For some women, it may be appropriate to remove the ovaries and cervix in addition to the uterus. "Your doctor can discuss the options with you and help you choose the best treatment for your disorder —and your lifestyle," says Dr. Grossman. Depending on the technique used, recovery can take two to six weeks.
A minimally invasive approach
Dr. Grossman recommended that Wieczerzak have a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that would remove the uterus and fibroid through a few tiny incisions, but leave the ovaries and cervix intact. He explains the benefits: "When the ovaries are removed, it launches women into an early menopause because of a drop in hormones. Leaving the ovaries intact prevents this. In this procedure, the cervix is also left intact, which some studies show helps preserve sexual function." One of the greatest benefits to minimally invasive surgery is the quick recovery time and reduction in post-operative pain. Wieczerzak was very pleased at how quickly she bounced back after surgery: "I went home the morning after my surgery and felt good enough to go Christmas shopping a few weeks later." However, Wieczerzak notes that the greatest benefit was gaining back her overall wellness: "This was such a sudden, life-disrupting problem —it was really wearing on me. Right after surgery, I started feeling like myself again," she says.
Sophisticated new options offer many benefits
"Sometimes, it takes a dramatic occurrence like sudden, heavy bleeding for women to learn about the new techniques and medications that are available to treat common problems or concerns," says Virtua obstetrician/gynecologist
Monica Agar, MD
. She advises women to use their annual gyn exam to catch up on the latest options in gynecological care —from treating bleeding irregularities to choosing the right contraception. Below are some of the latest options available.
Concern: Heavy menstrual bleeding
Standard treatment:
Depending on the cause, options include dilation and curettage (D&C), hormone therapy or surgery.
Latest option:
Endometrial ablation
"Endometrial ablation is becoming one of the most common procedures used to treat heavy bleeding," says Dr. Agar. "During this procedure, the lining of the uterus is destroyed through one of several methods: hydroablation and balloon or thermal ablation, which uses heated fluid to destroy the lining; electrocautery, which uses electrical energy; cryoablation, which freezes the lining; and, microwave ablation, which uses microwave energy to heat and destroy tissue."
Endometrial ablation usually is performed as an outpatient procedure with only local anesthesia. Recovery generally takes a few days to a few weeks. Periods become light to moderate and sometimes cease all together.
Women who want to become pregnant should not choose this option. While serious complications are uncommon, a small number of women may experience bleeding, infection or injury to the uterus or other organs.
Concern: Convenient birth control
Standard treatment:
Birth control pills, diaphragm, copper-based intrauterine device (IUD) are popular
birth control
Latest option:
Hormonally based intrauterine system (Mirena)
A trained gynecologist inserts a tiny, t-shaped plastic device into the uterus. Over time, the device releases small amounts of hormones that work to prevent pregnancy.
This device is 99.9% effective in preventing pregnancy. It lasts for up to five years and may be removed at any time without affecting fertility.
This option is not suitable for women with a history of pelvic infections, or for those who have an abnormal uterine cavity. Side effects may include menstrual changes, cramps, breast tenderness and mood changes. Serious complications are rare but may include perforation of the uterus and expulsion of the device.
Concern: Permanent birth control
Standard treatment:
Tubal ligation (tubes tied) has long been the standard.
Latest option:
Microinserts (Essure)
"A trained gynecologist routes two, tiny, spring-like inserts through the vagina, cervix and uterus and places one into each fallopian tube," explains Dr. Grossman. "Within three months, tissue grows around the inserts. This blocks the fallopian tubes and prevents sperm from reaching and fertilizing an egg."
Patients go home on the day of the procedure. There's no incision or need for general anesthesia. Recovery takes one to two days.
"This procedure is considered irreversible so women who want to become pregnant should not use it," says Dr. Grossman. "In addition, patients must use another form of birth control for at least three months after the procedure until a diagnostic test shows tissue growth has fully blocked the fallopian tubes."

Great base for exploring Berat!

This guesthouse is situated in a historic quarter of Berat, which made it extremely difficult to find upon arrival due to a lack of road signs or landmarks. The owner speaks some Italian, French and German, but unfortunately not English, so it was quite futile even to call to ask for directions. However, the accommodation itself was good: great view over the river, spacious and clean room in a traditional style, and generous breakfast served by the owner's wife. A very memorable stay indeed.

Dedrick Williams, the former stepson of White Sox Executive Vice President Ken Williams, sexually assaulted a woman inside a room at the Palmer House hotel early Saturday, leaving the victim with a black eye and "extensive bruising," a Cook County prosecutor said Monday.
Williams, 30, appeared briefly in bond court at 2600 S. California Ave. on Monday, when Cook County Judge James Brown ordered the former baseball pro scout held on $150,000 bond. Brown said Williams, should he post bond, would be placed on electronic home monitoring.
Williams -- who is charged with criminal sexual assault, unlawful restraint and misdemeanor domestic battery -- was at the Palmer House, attending "an event" with his ex-girlfriend, the victim, Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Jennifer Sexton told Brown during the bond hearing. At some point, Williams, who'd been drinking, became "verbally aggressive" with his ex-girlfriend, Sexton said. The two went up to Williams' room, where he allegedly beat and then sexually assaulted the woman, Sexton said.
"Various witnesses staying in the hotel heard loud screaming coming from [Williams'] hotel room," Sexton said in court. "The witnesses heard a female voice screaming, 'Help me!' numerous times from within [Williams'] hotel room."
A short while later, witnesses heard Williams' door open and a female voice in the hallway continue to yell, "Help me!" Sexton said.
According to a Chicago Police report, a friend of the victim took her to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where the victim reported the assault. Williams was later arrested at his home in the 4700 block of North Central Avenue, according to the report.
Williams, wearing a crimson fleece top and blue jeans, didn't speak in court. Amber Klinge, his court-appointed public defender, said Williams had been an insurance agent for the last two years; before that, he'd worked as a pro scout for baseball.
On Monday, Ken Williams said he hasn't had any contact with Dedrick Williams for "a couple of years" and wasn't aware of the charges until he was contacted by the Sun-Times.
"I hope the best for all of them," he said. "That's too bad."
Dedrick Williams and his brother, Kenny Williams Jr., were charged in 2003 in North Carolina on one count of felony breaking and entering a motor vehicle and misdemeanor counts of breaking and entering a motor vehicle and larceny, according to news reports at the time.
Prosecutors agreed to drop the charges in exchange for 150 hours of community service and a year of unsupervised, trouble-free probation.
Dedrick Williams told the Sun-Times in 2006 he had done scouting work for his father.

Central Zululand – the Zulu heartland – radiates out from the unlovely modern town of Ulundi, some 30km west of the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park. At the height of its influence in the 1820s and 1830s, under King Shaka, the core of the Zulu state lay between the Black Imfolozi River in the north and the Tugela River in the south, which discharges into the Indian Ocean roughly 100km north of Durban.
Contained in a relatively small area to the west of the heartland is a series of nineteenth-century battlefield sites, where Zulus and Boers, then Zulus and the British, and finally Boers and Brits came to blows. Don't attempt to visit this area on your own: all you'll see is empty veld with a few memorials. Far better is to join a tour with one of the several excellent guides who make it their business to bring the region's dramatic history alive (see Battlefield guides).
Don't expect to see "tribal" people who conform to the Zulu myth outside theme parks like Shakaland, near Eshowe. Traditional dress and the traditional lifestyle are largely a nineteenth-century phenomenon, deliberately smashed by the British a century ago when they imposed a poll tax that had to be paid in cash – thus ending Zulu self-sufficiency, generating urbanization and forcing the Africans into the modern industrial economy, where they were needed as workers.
You will find beautiful Zulu crafts in this part of the country, the best examples being in museums such as the little-known but outstanding Vukani Zulu Cultural Museum in Eshowe. Also worth checking out is the reconstructed royal enclosure of Cetshwayo, the last king of the independent Zulu, at Ondini, near Ulundi.
Brief history
The truth behind the Zulus is difficult to separate from the mythology, which was fed by the Zulus themselves as well as white settlers. Accounts of the Zulu kingdom in the 1820s rely heavily on the diaries of the two adventurers, Henry Fynn and Nathaniel Isaacs, who portrayed King Shaka as a mercurial and bloodthirsty tyrant who killed his subjects willy-nilly for a bit of fun. In a letter from Isaacs to Fynn, uncovered in the 1940s, Isaacs encourages his friend to depict the Zulu kings as "bloodthirsty as you can, and describe frivolous crimes people lose their lives for. It all tends to swell up the work and make it interesting."
A current debate divides historians about the real extent of the Zulu empire during the nineteenth century. What we do know is that in the 1820s Shaka consolidated a state that was one of the most powerful political forces on the subcontinent, and that internal dissent to his rule culminated in his assassination by his half-brothers Dingane and Mhlangana in 1828.
In the 1830s, pressure from whites exacerbated internal tensions in the Zulu state, and reached a climax when a relatively small party of Boers defeated Dingane's army at Blood River. This led to a split in the Zulu state, with one half following King Mpande, and collapse threatened when Mpande's sons Mbuyazi and Cetshwayo led opposing forces in a pitched battle for the succession. Cetshwayo emerged victorious and successfully set about rebuilding the state, but too late. Seeing a powerful Zulu state as a threat to a confederated South Africa under British control, the British high commissioner, Sir Bartle Frere, delivered a Hobson's choice of an ultimatum on the banks of the Tugela River, demanding that Cetshwayo should dismantle his polity or face invasion.
In January 1879, the British army crossed the Tugela and suffered a humiliating disaster at Isandlwana – the British army's worst defeat ever at the hands of native armies – only for the tide to turn that same evening when just over a hundred British soldiers repulsed a force of between three- and four thousand Zulus at Rorke's Drift. By the end of July, Zulu independence had been snuffed, when the British lured the reluctant (and effectively already broken) Zulus, who were now eager for peace, into battle at Ulundi. The British set alight Cetshwayo's capital at Ondini – a fire that blazed for four days – and the king was taken prisoner and held in the Castle in Cape Town.Read More
Zulu festivals
Zulu festivals
In September and October KwaZulu-Natal is host to three significant Zulu festivals that until recently were only attended by the actual participants, though it's now possible to witness these with the Eshowe-based Zululand Eco-Adventures. If you're not around in September or October, Zululand Eco-Adventures can arrange for you to attend several lower-key Zulu ceremonies that give an authentic, non-touristy insight into various aspects of Zulu life. These range from sangoma healing ceremonies (Wed & Sun), Zulu weddings (Sat & Sun), coming-of-age ceremonies (Sat & Sun) and a visit to a Zulu gospel church (Sun).
The Royal Reed Dance
In the second week of September, the Zulu King hosts a four-day celebration at his royal residence at Nongoma. The event is both a rite of passage to womanhood for the young maidens of the Zulu nation, and a chance for them to show off their singing and dancing talents. The festival, known as Umkhosi woMhlanga in Zulu, takes its name from the riverbed reeds that play a significant role in Zulu life. Young women carry the reed sticks, which symbolize the power of nature, to the king. According to Zulu mythology, only virgins should take part, and if a woman participant is not a virgin, this will be revealed by her reed stick breaking. A second Reed Dance takes place in the last week of September at the king's other residence in Ingwavuma.
King Shaka Day
In honour of King Shaka, a celebration is held yearly on September 24 in KwaDukuza, Shaka's original homestead and the place where he was murdered in 1828 by his brothers Dingane and Mhlangana. It was Shaka who brought together smaller tribes and formed them into the greatest warrior nation in Southern Africa. Today, the celebration is attended by a who's who of South African Zulu society; there are speeches by the likes of Inkatha Freedom Party leader Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, along with music and fantastic displays of warrior dancing, the men decked out in full ceremonial gear and armed with traditional weapons.
Shembe Festival
Held in mid- to late October in Judea, near Eshowe, the Shembe Festival is the culmination of weeks of endless rituals, dancing and prayers held throughout KwaZulu-Natal. Some thirty thousand members of the Shembe Church return here every year to meet their leader and celebrate their religion with prayer dances and displays of drumming.
Zulu theme parks
Zulu theme parks
North of Eshowe, the winding R66 leaves behind the softer vistas of the Dlinza Forest, the citrus groves and green seas of cane plantations and looks across huge views of the valleys that figure in the creation mythology of the Zulu nation. In no time you're into thornveld (acacias, rocky koppies and aloes) and theme park country.
Most accessible of these "Zulu-village hotels" is Shakaland, 14km north of Eshowe off the R68 at Norman Hurst Farm, Nkwalini (035 460 0912, http://www.shakaland.com). Built in 1984 as the set for the wildly romanticized TV series Shaka Zulu, Shakaland is a reconstruction of a nineteenth-century Zulu kraal and quite unrepresentative of how people live today. However, the theme park just about manages to remain on the acceptable side of exploiting ethnic culture, and offers the chance to sample Zulu food. Tours for day visitors include an audiovisual presentation about the origin of the Zulus, a guided walk around the huts, an explanation of traditional social organization, spear-making, a beer-drinking ceremony and a buffet lunch with traditional food. The highlight, however, is probably one of the best choreographed Zulu dancing shows in the country, with the dramatic landscape as the backdrop; it's worthwhile putting up with all the other stuff just to see it.
In a different league, Simunye Zulu Lodge (035 450 0101, http://www.simunyelodge.co.za), along the D256, off the R34 and 6km north of Melmoth, offers a far more authentic experience of Zulu culture, introducing guests to contemporary ways of life as well as traditional customs. Visitors are conveyed to the camp by horse, ox wagon or 4WD, and get to see dancing, visit a working kraal and meet local people.
There is traditional-style accommodation at both places. Shakaland offers comfortable beehive huts, with untraditional luxuries such as electricity and en-suite bathrooms. At Simunye you can also choose to sleep in beehive huts, or opt for rondavels at a kraal or stone-and-thatch cottages carved into the cliffside.

News 12 Long Island will also provide information about University cancellations. Resident students can tune in to the campus cable channel.
Students, faculty, and staff can also sign up for an e-mail listserv that has been set up to send emergency notifications. For instructions on how to sign up, visit http://ws.cc.stonybrook.edu/sb/emergency.
Individual departments should have their own procedures for handling emergencies, such as creating phone chains. Only the Governor can close state offices, agencies, and campuses. When offices are open, employees are expected to report to work. Non-essential employees may request supervisory approval to charge their accruals when offices are open. Essential employees must report in accordance with their schedules.
The 632/444-SNOW (7669) phone lines are generally used to inform non-University personnel about the status of the University. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to monitor the Web site, WUSB, and local radio stations to get the most up-to-date information.

Rainwave: Streaming Video Game Music
Video game music is a huge part of my collection. Honestly speaking, it's the music I hear the most because I spend more time playing games than I do listening to my Zune. So often times, I like listening to video game music when I'm at work. Except, aside from what is on my MP3 player, it's difficult to find good video game music unless I've played that game myself.
That is, until I discovered rainwave.cc. Rainwave streams video game songs from hundreds of games, both classic and contemporary. It was through this site that I discovered that I really enjoy music from the Advance Wars series. I love turn-based strategy games as well, so I don't know why I never got into this series. Either way, I was just stoked to find a place like rainwave that was able to introduce me to songs I haven't heard before. It's essentially the Pandora of video game music.
If you like video game music I highly suggest you give this place a shot. Their client seems to run well on VLC Media Player, and the quality of the sound is near-perfect. In addition, if you login to their system, you can request any song from their list. Your songs are almost guaranteed to get played as well, since I've never seen more than 70 people logged in at one time and most people don't request anything.
Be warned however. Every now and then some people will play a random J-pop song from an obscure Japanese video game. That's usually when I switch back to Pandora. Unless it's a Katamari Damacy song. That's when I sing along and everybody at work stares at me.
This is really excellent to know about the particular information given above.
Music has been a big part of games. Specially like video games because without music games are play less. The whole interest for playing games comes from music. There were been several games which has been added from earlier till now in the games to make much interest in it. As like that music is not very much but then also it plays an in important part in our life.
Thanks for sharing this great information with us.
Keep up your great work always...

La Jolla / San Diego Gynecomastia Surgery Specialists
Umansky Medical Center for Plastic Surgery
Over the years, Dr. William Umansky and Dr. Jeffrey Umansky have earned a reputation as leading San Diego male breast reduction specialists – the result of numerous personal referrals from satisfied patients.

They use some of the most advanced surgical techniques and technologies to deliver the best possible aesthetic results for all of their gynecomastia surgery La Jolla / San Diego patients.
Male Breast Reduction in San Diego
The appearance of visible breasts in men, or gynecomastia, can be treated at the Umansky Medical Center for Plastic Surgery in La Jolla to create a more masculine chest. In most cases, the Umansky Medical Center's surgeons use liposuction to correct gynecomastia. Depending on the amount of tissue to be removed, sometimes they also recommend and perform removal of redundant skin tissue. In the latter case, the recovery time is somewhat longer than in liposuction-only gynecomastia surgery cases. However, most of the male breast reduction San Diego patients treated at the Umansky Medical Center recover within a couple of weeks.
To learn more about gynecomastia surgery in La Jolla and schedule a one-on-one consultation, please contact the Umansky Medical Center for Plastic Surgery today.

Publication: theday.com
If Congress doesn't pass a budget this fiscal year, the Navy said it likely would not purchase a second Virginia-class submarine in 2014.
The Navy released its latest plan to Congress on Tuesday for how it will be affected if the government keeps operating on a continuing resolution that funds spending at last year's levels, and if Congress does not act before March 1 to prevent the automatic spending cuts known as sequestration.
The continuing resolution expires March 27, and Congress could extend it for the rest of the fiscal year.
U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, said the House Armed Services Committee created and passed a plan that authorized two submarines in 2014.
"Now it is incumbent on congressional appropriators to work with us to get the rest of the way there," he said. "The House's plate is full and time is running out to act. That is why last week I voted against Speaker Boehner's motion to adjourn, shutting down the House for 10 days that would be better used tackling these issues, supporting our critical defense priorities, and protecting our economy."
The Navy told Congress last month it would cancel a $45 million repair job on the USS Providence (SSN 719) at Electric Boat and two demolition projects involving three older buildings at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton unless Congress agreed on a new budget. And if sequestration occurs, the Navy said, it would delay repairs to the Groton-based USS Miami and cancel several ship deployments.
At that time, the Navy did not say the second submarine in 2014 was in jeopardy. A Navy spokeswoman said Tuesday's update provides a higher level of detail.
EB in Groton and Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia jointly build two attack submarines per year. The plans for two submarines in 2013 are not expected to change.

With nearly 40 scientific studies published on the wide-ranging benefits of tart cherries, scientists are now discovering important new health applications for this American fruit. Tart cherries are packed with unique beneficial compounds that have been shown to block COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes,1 as well as maintain muscle function and promote rapid muscle recovery after exercise,2-5 bringing faster relief from the minor aches, discomfort, and stiffness that can follow everyday muscle exertion.2,3
In human studies, researchers have scientifically confirmed the muscle supporting benefits of tart cherries. For example, a randomized controlled trial found that consuming tart cherry juice twice daily produced a substantial decrease in muscle symptoms related to exercise. In the same study, the exercise-induced loss of strength over the four days following a workout was reduced from 22% to only 4%.4
In another randomized controlled trial, marathon runners given tart cherry juice for five days before a race, on race day, and for two days after a race experienced significantly faster recovery of isometric strength and muscle function.3 And in yet another controlled trial, tart cherry juice taken twice daily for seven days prior to a race produced a significantly smaller increase in post-race pain, according to a standard pain assessment scale, compared to the placebo group.2
Anthocyanins are powerful molecules that provide the dark pigmentation to blueberries, raspberries, and bilberries.6,7 In addition to being potent antioxidants, anthocyanins have been extensively studied for their numerous health benefits that include heart, cellular, and cognitive health.6-8
What has drawn the attention of scientists is the fact that tart cherries not only contain a higher content of anthocyanins than other fruits, they also contain unique anthocyanins not found in other berries.1 To allow members to take full advantage of these discoveries, Life Extension® now offers Tart Cherry Extract, a 100% natural supplement that opens the door to the remarkable benefits of continued physical activity—at any age.
This formulation provides all the muscle-supporting benefits of tart cherries and mimics the anthocyanin dose used in successful clinical trials by providing a standardized 40 mg anthocyanins per capsule.2,4

I can now get a good workout on consecutive days. Sometimes muscle soreness from a hard workout will make one put off working out the next day. After 2 months of using the product I have felt a noticeable difference.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
