Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by carpediemcassy amazing tent for a STEAL of a price this tent is incredibly easy to put up/down its HUGE! and suited my needs perfectly for the least amount of mesh area, reducing the dust/wind coming into the tent in inclement weather. So its super easy to keep the inside of the tent and bedding clean. PLUS... the tent ended up costing only around $65 after using my DICKS Sporting Goods coupon that i got in the mail! There ISNT a better deal out there. Trust me. I shopped around everywhere and really did my research. September 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by CB Great tent until it rained. This tent was extremely easy to setup and offered more than enough room. Unfortunately we had some rain and various spots at the seams, from the midpoint down, leaked and made the remaining of our trip awful. This one will be returned asap. August 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kif Great tent Bought this last minute for a camping trip. Easy to set up about 15 mins.it also rained one night, and there was absolutely no leaks at all. I would recommend getting better stakes, because the ones it comes with, are a little flimsy. Also 8 people may be a little to much, I would say 6 is comfortable. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JK Great! Loved this tent. It was east to put up and take down. We were even able to get it back in the original package. The price was great and when we got to the counter we found out it was on sale. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by john great tent Good tent.Good quality materials.easy to setup.Good buy. July 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jessie4585 Quest Tent We were very happy with this purchase. The group we camped with all decided this would be their next purchase when needing a tent. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by titantn24 Nice tent with plenty of room Just purchased and used this tent on a weekend camping trip. I haven't camped since I was a teen, but this tent was pretty easy to set up with two people. The design is very functional and creates maximum interior space. I'm 5'10" and stood in the middle with room to spare overhead. You could easily fit two queen size air mattresses in there. The only thing I noticed that could use some improvement was in the door zipper area. My son kept getting the material that covered the zipper caught in the zipper. This could be because he was just zipping it closed too fast. I can't say too much on how waterproof it is as it didn't rain, but there was a lot of dew the first night and we stayed dry. We changed campsites on the 2nd day and did end up cracking one of the segments of a side pole, but that was because we let it bend too far and it wasn't designed to do that. I like how the poles (4 for tent, 1 for rain fly) are segmented and have an elastic cord that runs through them. Keeps all the segments together and there's no guessing what goes where and they fit neatly in their own bag. The mat that goes on the ground outside the tent door is nice too as you can take your shoes off there without tracking in dirt, mud, sticks, etc. All in all I say this is a good tent. I did catch it on sale, so that always helps. Look forward to using this tent again. June 17, 2014

Sara Evans is busy putting the finishing touches on her new studio album, but she that doesn't mean she's missing the big events in her kids' lives this fall. Her son, Avery , is now in the eighth grade, and he's something of a star on his school's football team.
Sara was recently on hand for Avery's first football game. She tells Billboard , "He scored a touchdown in their jamboree, and I got up and screamed!"
Sara will be shuttling back and forth between her home in Birmingham, AL, and Nashville to finish work on the new album next month. She recently shot a video for the project's lead single, "Slow Me Down."

Choreographers Agnes de Mille and Jerome Robbins dominated the Broadway musical starting in the 1940s, with Gower Champion and Michael Bennett coming along in the 1960s. Arriving in the middle of this quartet, and continuing concurrently with them all, was one of the most fascinating and influential of this fascinating and influential group. Unlike ballet dancers-turned-ballet choreographers de Mille and Robbins, Bob Fosse was what you might call a honky-tonk hoofer. His bent-elbow steps and struts and grinds, the likes of which ballet theatre never saw, continue to inform much of Broadway choreography today, a quarter century after his death in 1987.
Fosse was not one of the group, or one of any group; he seemed to feel the need to battle his way to the top and then keep on battling. This can be seen in Sam Wasson's new biography, "Fosse" [HMH]. This is not the first Fosse biography; there were two shortly after his death, neither of which rank high on my list of show biz life stories. (Prior to the publication of Martin Gottfried's All That Jazz, I found myself on the receiving end of a blistering telephone tirade from Fosse's widow Gwen Verdon. After a full ten minutes of breathlessly spouted insults and complaints, we finally figured out what happened; the star had in front of her the galleys of both the Gottfried book and one of mine, which my publishers had sent in search of a back-of-the-jacket quote. Outraged by Gottfried's treatment of Bob, Gwen — in her fury — dialed my number instead of Martin's.)
Wasson, a film professor and critic, has done a wonderful job of mining and explaining just who Fosse was. He does so at length, in excess of 700 pages, but there is an awful lot to say. He follows the small-time kid hoofer from burlesque to the Army to the nitery circuit, in an act with dancer Mary-Ann Niles. Then came the legit theatre, in the form of the 1949 national tour of the Broadway hit Call Me Mister. Fosse and Niles, as they were billed, served as featured dancers and were married during the Chicago stop.
Even then Fosse was a serial womanizer, which Wasson attributes to abuse when the 14-year-old Fosse — already working in burlesque — was easy prey for overage strippers. Marriage began another pattern for the young dancer. Fosse and Niles reached Broadway in 1950 in the short-lived review Dance Me a Song. Fosse immediately left Niles for star Joan McCracken. (McCracken, who had made a distinctive debut as "The Girl Who Falls Down" in de Mille's 1943 Oklahoma!, moved to a prominent role as the housemaid Daisy in de Mille's 1944 Bloomer Girl, and attained full stardom in 1945 in Robbins' dance-happy Billion Dollar Baby.) The skinny, already-balding dancer quickly left Niles to marry McCracken, who, while starring in a George Abbott show, talked the director into hiring her untried husband to choreograph his next musical, The Pajama Game. Within a year, Fosse followed this up with Damn Yankees — and left McCracken for that show's dancing star, Verdon.

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (AP) - Federal authorities say a California man wanted in an Alabama murder case has been arrested near the southern Arizona border.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said Monday that 50-year-old Jose Manuel Martinez was taken into custody and turned over to San Luis police.
They say Martinez is from Delano, Calif.
CBP officers arrested Martinez on Friday after a records check showed that he was wanted on a homicide charge out of Lawrence County in Alabama.
Details of the murder case weren't immediately available Monday afternoon and authorities didn't know if Martinez has a lawyer yet.

In reading the Health Care Quality Report Card, released Wednesday reportcard.opa.ca.gov/ you get the sense that health care consumers are much more satisfied with a doctor who's a pain in the neck.
Health providers score better if they pester patients to get cancer screenings, nag them about controlling their diabetes and lecture them about the implications of their chronic conditions.
Health maintenance organizations, as it turns out, are great noodges. On average, they received higher scores than did preferred provider plans when it came to caring for patients in 40 categories.
Once loathed and lambasted, HMOs have seen a tidal shift when it comes to consumer satisfaction, said Liz Helms, president and chief executive at Sacramento-based California Chronic Care Coalition. That includes her own; she's a longtime HMO member.
"As we moved into the late '90s and early 2000s," Helms said, "consumers worked very hard at shoring up protections and rights for patients. I have seen a shift and a lot of improvement under managed care, and I'm not saying it's bad to have a PPO plan. I think it's a choice. It's people understanding what they're purchasing and what their coverages are."
This year's report card is the result of consumer surveys of HMOs, PPOs and medical providers done in 2010 and 2011. For the first time, the report card is available as a mobile app for iPhone and iPad.
French invasion at Sutter
Jack Breezee runs the cafeterias at Sutter hospitals all around the Sacramento- Sierra region, so if you were going to send a team off to evaluate a company to invade his turf, you might not include him.
Sutter did and he came back sold.
It was January 2010, and Sutter was in the throes of evaluating food service options for an expanded medical center at the edge of midtown Sacramento. Sutter Capitol Pavilion and the Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center would join Sutter Memorial.
Breezee flew off to the frozen climes of Ohio along with Larry Maas, assistant administrator for the Sutter expansion project. Their destination was the Cleveland Clinic. Regarded as one of the top four hospitals in the nation, it rambles over six city blocks.
Though afforded a range of dining options, employees there frequent Au Bon Pain more than any other eatery, Breezee told me.
Maas said: "They're nationally recognized for providing healthy food, informing you about the caloric content of the food. You can't blow your diet and not know it no burgers or fries, etc. Jack and I both went (as) skeptics and came back sold."
Sutter announced in mid-2011 that Au Bon Pain was coming, but readers have asked me about when. The answer is that it's already here, sort of.
Au Bon Pain began serving an abbreviated version of its menu at midtown's Sutter General in December and opened a tiny grab-and-go outpost in Sutter Memorial in February. These eateries are a prelude to what's planned.
"We originally envisioned one location, which was this spot on L Street at the north end of Capitol Pavilion where you see all that glass," Maas said. "That will be the first site of Au Bon Pain as the public knows it.
The big part of the franchise is in the basement on the south end of Women's and Children's. We have about 6,000 square feet of shell space where Au Bon Pain will build a cafeteria and seating area (for 250)."
A pastel life at 21ten
Marbo Barnard isn't giving up painting, she told me, but she's done her last solo show. It's hanging now at Gallery 21ten, 2110 K St. in Sacramento. Gallery owner Michael Key told me: "Marbo is a tiny, sassy, Japanese woman, 85 years young who is having her last solo show after 50 years as a master pastel artist."
In 2008, the Japanese native received the Pastel Laureate Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Pastel Society of America. Preparation for the show was exhausting, Barnard said, and she realized that she's "too old" to do it again. Key said the show will come down on April 6, but he'll be open until 8 p.m. on April 5 to give people a couple extra hours to see it.

A local citizens' advocacy group is calling out the nuclear industry and taking on Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.
The group issued a report with claims of devastating effects to our area.
Effects they say are a result of high levels of radiation in the air, water and land in counties downwind from Browns Ferry.
We examined those claims, separating fact from fiction.
The report, titled "Radioactive Emissions and Health Hazards Surrounding Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in Alabama," (PDF) brings up a litany of concerns.
It was commissioned by the Bellefonte Efficiency and Sustainability Team and Mothers Against Tennessee River Radiation.
Pages of detail on radiation released into the atmosphere, radioactive materials in our drinking water and extremely high rates of cancer; all implied as directly connected to Browns Ferry.
Perhaps most shocking of all, the group's claims about infant mortality rates - rates that are more than 20% higher than the national average.
If you haven't figured it out just by the group's name, their fight is to protect future generation from radiation.
The group regularly requests the nuclear regulatory commission shut Browns Ferry down.
"We feel they are in danger," said Gretel Johnston is a founder of Mother's Against Tennessee River Radiation.
"They," being the hundreds of thousands of people who live in the seven counties surrounding the plant, including Limestone County, where the plant has been operating since 1974.
She and her colleague Gary Morgan, with the help of about 30 other members, did the ground work for the research behind the report.
The group tested 50 sites around Browns Ferry and relied on readings from their Geiger counter, detecting nuclear radiation emissions.
They hired a researcher to compile their findings for the report which shows major radiation in counties downwind from Browns Ferry.
The group stops short of placing direct blame on Browns Ferry but it is certainly implied.
"I will not say that Browns Ferry is the cause of the high radiation levels, but I will say we found high levels downwind of Browns Ferry and background levels upwind," added Johnston.
The report relies on federal data on infant mortality rates surrounding the plant to make a case that, if taken as fact, should be terrifying to every parent and potential parent in the Tennessee valley.
WAFF asked if that was the report's purpose.
"Yes, I am trying to scare people, but I'm not an extremist. I'm trying to scare people with the data, with just the facts," said Johnston.
The facts are the group used data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to justify their claim that the mortality rate for infants in seven counties surrounding Browns Ferry has risen significantly.
Before the plant opened, 1969-1973 infant mortality was more than the national rate by 6.5%.
Browns Ferry started up its first nuclear reactor 1974 and brought the other reactors online over the next three years.
In that time frame the infant mortality rate nearly doubles from that initial 6.5% to 12% higher than the national average.
Over the next 36 years the numbers go up and down but by 2004 they rise to more than 22% higher than the national average.
The American Council on Science and Health is an organization that exists to debunk what they call junk science, and Doctor Josh Bloom says that's exactly what this report is.
"They are using selective data and they are picking out the numbers that supports their case and they are ignoring the others and trying to bury them," said Bloom.
Bloom said looking at the number and not the percentages, local infant deaths have actually declined and declined a lot from 1,084 in the 5 years before the plant opened to 573 in the last 5 years studied.
Bloom added that the statistical claims are critically flawed to make a point that doesn't exist. "There's simply a problem with the data and it's not reflecting anything real."
The mere mention of the words radiation and death can shock a community.
"It triggers fear but studies like this enhance that fear but they do it falsely," added Bloom.
So when it comes to radiation do you worry about the actual number of deaths or the percentage?
Health officials we spoke with say that is a flawed question. Why? Because there are so many other factors that could be contributing to children dying.
Like a mother's access to prenatal care, poverty levels, drug use, education, and the list goes on and on.
Back to separating fact from fiction, is Browns Ferry somehow responsible for children dying? Nothing we have seen can conclusively back that claim.
Either way, our questions were enough for TVA officials to sit down with me and give answers.
"The report does tend to imply (Browns Ferry) may be behind these concerns, the problem is that data, that leap of logic is simply not supported by data from TVA, the state of Alabama supplies or the NRC reviews," said TVA Spokesperson Jim Hopson.
We took a look at that data, and according to TVA's latest radiological report (pdf):
In 2012, a person would have been exposed to 0.28 millirems of radiation released from the plant.
To put that in perspective, just one dental x-ray exposes a human to 5.0 millirems.
"Anything that is released from the plant, whether that's air, water, or anything is carefully filtered, monitored and assured that it is not a hazard to the public. All of those releases meet or exceed regulatory requirements every day, every time of the year," added Hopson.
In Montgomery, the Department of Public Health's Office of Radiation Control is responsible for ensuring that's a true statement.
24 hours a day, seven radiation monitors surround Browns Ferry.
"We have years of data, 40 some odd years of data and we've never been able to find anything that would prove they've had a excessive release of radioactivity," said Office of Radiation Control Director.
That isn't to say Browns Ferry hasn't had problems, in researching this story we found in 2011, the NRC hit TVA with a red finding, a violation on step away from shutting the plant down after a broken valve was discovered that would have prevented TVA from successfully implementing a shutdown procedure in case of emergency.
In July, WAFF 48 News was the only camera at NRC headquarters in Atlanta where TVA officials had to answer for a shutdown caused by operator error last December.
Just this past September, Browns Ferry had two weeks to fix yet another problem, this time with faulty wiring leading to a reactor.
With the past problems and present claims from advocacy groups, and claims from TVA that the plant is perfectly safe.
"One of the ways to do that is to practice. We have updated emergency drills at the site, our staff as well as the state and local agencies on what we would do in the event that emergency would occur," added Hopson.
Hopson said the plant has backups to their backup systems to safely shutdown the plant in case of an emergency and is constantly training and retraining its employees.
"The men and women who work for us take that very seriously. For a report to make a somewhat unsubstantiated claim against their work is really a discredit to what they do every day to protect the general public," said Hopson.
That is exactly what the Mothers Against Tennessee River Radiation say they are trying to do, protect the public. They say no matter what TVA says about radiation risks, the fact is this, there are high cancer rates across the Tennessee Valley.
They are correct, According to Alabama's Cancer Registry, Morgan County does have the highest cancer rate in the state and surrounding counties have higher cancer rates than many other parts of the state.
"That's telling you something, folks. Something is there in our environment that is causing high cancer rates. Government data is showing there is high cancer rates in the river valley, children are dying, adults are dying. The people the public that live in our valley, they have a right to know what's going on. Is it Browns Ferry that's causing it, well there's some peculiar incidences," said Gary Morgan.

A 50-year-old man was ejected from a truck and then killed in a hit-and-run crash in Anne Arundel County, police said.
The incident occurred between 3 and 3:30 a.m. Tuesday on Interstate 97 between Route 32 and Benfield Boulevard.
A truck that was traveling north on I-97 entered the median, struck a guardrail and overturned. Both the driver and the passenger were ejected from the vehicle, and the passenger landed in the southbound lanes of the interstate. The passenger was then apparently standing up in one of the southbound lanes when he was struck by a vehicle that did not stop, according to Maryland State Police.
The passenger died at the scene. The truck's driver, a 31-year-old man, was taken to a hospital and was undergoing treatment Tuesday morning, police said.
A description of the striking vehicle was not immediately available. Anyone who witnessed the crash or who may have been in the area at the time can call Maryland State Police at 410-761-5130.

Writer Sylvestor Stallone wouldn't sell the script for Rocky for $350,000. He only had $106 in his bank at the time!
Stallone was determined to be the star of the script he created for the movie Rocky. He was so single-minded about starring in Rocky that he refused the large sum of $350,000 offered to him by Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff.
It's not uncommon for a writer to be protective of his work or for a man to be determined to follow through with a plan; what is crazy is that Stallone was dirt poor at the time. He had a total of $106 in his bank account and didn't own a car.
He was even trying to sell his dog because he didn't have the money to feed it any more.
With the $350,000, Stallone could have been very comfortable for a while, and it was guaranteed money! Success wasn't guaranteed when he decided to act out his own character. Stallone ended up agreeing to not be paid as a writer if he was going to be the main actor.
Winkler and Chartoff were also only able to get one million dollar for the production, when they had hoped to have two million. They ended up spending $1.1 million and mortgaging their houses to pay for the extra $0.1 million. Their gamble paid off because Rocky became the highest grossing film in 1976.

Lace Fit and Flare Gown with Bubble Hem Style WG3565 7 8
Better than the picture I agree with others that pictures do not do this dress justice. After having no luck with the dresses I had preselected, my sister and I were instructed to just "go through the racks" to find a gown. Luckily, my sister has an eye for this kind of thing and found this dress. I hadn't seen it online...or I had seen it, thought it looked hideous and ignored it. But once I tried it on, it is really a very beautiful dress. It does hug curves beautifully and the bottom of the dress is not nearly as awkward as it looks in the photos. I also found the skirt fabric to be much more flowy than a lot of the other trumpet or mermaid gowns I tried on. If you have an hour glass shape and want to accentuate it, I would highly recommend trying this dress on. February 26, 2014
I absolutely love this gown. The pictures online do not do it justice. Its very lightweight and flowing, and the bubble hem skirt makes it much easier to walk in. Also, its perfect for those who are short or a little heavier. I tried it on in the store after recently having a baby and the design on this dress elongated me and hid all those problem areas that I don't want seen. January 9, 2014
Pretty & Unique This dress was exactly as beautiful in person as I had imagined when I first saw it on the website. It has a modern look that is extremely flattering. When I went to try on dresses, this was my "backup" in case my top choice didn't look the way I hoped it would. When I put this dress on though, I realized I wouldn't mind one bit if I ended up going with my second choice, because it really looked elegant, fun, and so pretty. It was heavier than some of the other dresses I tried on to be sure, but because it doesn't have a very long train, it's definitely manageable. December 29, 2013

Two dogs are said to be in critical condition after being attacked by a swarm of about 50,000 bees in Sahuarita Thursday night.
The Rural Metro Fire Department is responded to a report of an active swarm of bees in the 400 block of West Camino Tunera.
"We've worked with the beekeeper to make sure that he can safely get up into the roof line, and at this point in time, he's found about 50,000 bees up into the roof of the home," Rural Metro Capt. Grant Cesarek said.
The department reports that upon arrival, no one was in the house where the swarm was. A beekeeper worked to remove the swarm.
Crews discovered that the homeowner left the home to get veterinary care for the dogs that had been attacked by the bees. It was originally reported that one of the dogs did not survive, but both are in critical condition.
The department says the engine crew foamed the bees to prevent them from further stinging neighbors and emergency workers.

Reverend Brian J. Shanley, O.P. - President
On February 1, 2005, Providence College announced the election of Reverend Brian J. Shanley, O.P., to serve as the 12th president of the College. Father Shanley assumed his duties at the College on July 1, 2005, and succeeded Reverend Philip A. Smith, O.P., who served as the College's president from 1994-2005. Prior to his arrival at Providence, Father Shanley served as an associate professor in the School of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
Father Shanley is a native of Warwick, Rhode Island. A parishioner at St. Gregory the Great Church, he attended local public schools, graduating from Toll Gate High School in 1976.
In 1980, Father Shanley earned his undergraduate degree in history at Providence College. He holds a doctorate degree in philosophy from the University of Toronto, where he completed the Collaborative Providence in Philosophy and Medieval Studies. He also holds a master of divinity degree (theology) and the Licentiate in Sacred Theology (S.T.L.), both from the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. (Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception.)
Father Shanley spent the Fall 2002 semester as a visiting professor at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. He previously engaged in a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Notre Dame's Center for Philosophy of Religion in 1998-99.
As the Regent of Studies for the Dominican Province of St. Joseph, Father Shanley holds a seat on the Provincial Council, a body of 12 Dominican Friars serving as cabinet-level advisors to the Prior Provincial. He advises the Prior Provincial on all matters pertaining to the intellectual and academic life of the Province and oversees the academic endeavors of members of the Province, including those in preparation for the priesthood and those engaged in graduate studies.
Father Shanley has been widely published in philosophy-focused academic journals and has been a guest lecturer at a wide range of scholarly conferences.

Avenged Sevenfold take their love of Call of Duty: Black Ops II to the next level in the video for the band's latest single, " Carry On ." While the song is part of the recently-released video game's soundtrack, the video features an animated version of the guys performing "Carry On" in a crowded night club.
After a profanity-filled intro featuring two of the game's characters -- namely Raul Menendez and Sergeant Frank Woods -- the unlikely duo join A7X on stage for their performance. In addition to watching the video online, you can also check it out if you buy Call of Duty: Black Ops II: it plays automatically after the game's end credits.

|We took the Nineteen Mile trail. My buddy did not bring much water because he didn't want to carry it up the steep sections and was usre we'd find some in a stream further up. It was steep and we were sweating like pigs. Very hot and humid (which is why I seldom hike in the summer). I filled up 2 bottles at the swimming hole. By late afternoon we were out of water. It was very hot and dry, and the streams were dry. We spent the night at the Imp shelter, with no water, so it was not as pleasant as it could have been. The top of Carter Dome is fairly flat so we played "baseball" by hitting rocks off the top with an old tree branch. And of course, Frisbee golf. At some point in this trip we ended up on the Rattle River trail. The lean-to on that trail was in a beautiful spot, near a nice stream, where we found a natural bowl that was almost like a swimming pool. Of course, your lips would turn blue in about 2 minutes 'cuz the water was so cold. We only saw one other person in 3 days. All in all, a nice summer hike.Many thanks to the guy who picked us up hitch-hiking and brought us back to the car.

Emergency contraception
Emergency contraception is a method to prevent pregnancy in women who have had unprotected sex, or for whom a barrier method has failed (slipped condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap, or broken condom).
Alternative Names
Morning-after pill; Postcoital contraception; Birth control - emergency; Plan B
Emergency contraception may be used following many different situations, including:
- After intercourse in which no birth control method is used
- Sexual assault or rape
- When a condom breaks or a diaphragm slips out of place
- When a woman forgets to take birth control pills
Emergency contraception medicine is not the same as the "abortion pill." A woman who knows she is pregnant takes the abortion pill with the intent to end an early pregnancy (usually 4 to 7 weeks after conception). Emergency contraception pills are taken after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy from occurring.
Several types of emergency contraception drugs are available.
Two emergency contraceptive pills have been approved:
- Plan B One-Step is a single tablet that contains 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel.
- Next Choice is taken as two doses, which each contain 0.75 mg of levonorgestrel. Both pills can be taken at the same time or as two separate doses 12 hours apart.
Birth control pills, if available, can be used for emergency contraception. You must take two to five "regular" pills together to equal one dose of emergency contraception. It is best to talk to your health care provider about the correct dosage before doing this.
An alternative emergency contraception relies on insertion of a copper-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) within 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected intercourse. It can be removed after your next period, or left in place to provide ongoing contraception. The copper IUD reduces the risk of pregnancy by 99.9%.
Both types Plan B One-Step and Next Choice are available over-the-counter (without a prescription) to women 17 years and older. Women younger than 17 can contact their health care provider to get a prescription for these pills. These pills are still considered safe to use for this younger age group.
Emergency contraceptives work best when taken within the first 24 hours after intercourse.
- About 7 out of 8 women who would have gotten pregnant do not become pregnant if emergency contraceptives are taken within 72 hours.
- These pills may still prevent pregnancy for up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse.
Emergency contraceptives work mostly by preventing or delaying the release of an egg (ovulation) - the same way that taking regular birth control pills works. It is possible that these drugs work by preventing an egg from being fertilized by a sperm, or by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in (sticking to) the walls of your uterus (womb).
Mild and often unpleasant side effects from emergency contraception medication may include:
- Abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and changes in menstrual bleeding.
- Nausea and vomiting are most common when an estrogen-containing pill is used. These side effects are less common with Plan B, which contains a synthetic progesterone.
After taking emergency contraception, a woman's next menstrual cycle may start earlier or later than expected and the menstrual flow may be lighter or heavier than usual.
- Most women will start their next period within 7 days of the expected date.
- If a woman's menstrual bleeding does not start within 3 weeks after taking emergency contraception, she might be pregnant and should call or visit her health care provider.
Women who believe that they are already pregnant and may have been for longer than several days should not take emergency contraception medicine. Also, women who have vaginal bleeding for an unknown reason should discuss this with their health care provider before taking emergency contraception.
Women who cannot take birth control pills regularly may often still be able to use emergency contraceptives, but they should also discuss this option with their health care provider.
If emergency contraception fails and the woman becomes pregnant, there do not appear to be any long-term effects on the pregnancy or the fetus.
Emergency contraception should not be used as a routine birth control method, because it is actually less effective at preventing pregnancies than most types of birth control.

Looking for some swashbuckling fun this Halloween? Let your child pillage the back of your closet for this creative pirate costume.
Find a pair of old black pants and fringe the edges with scissors.
Tuck in a big gold or white blouse. Tie a red scarf around the pirate's waist and a bandanna around his head.
Clip on some gold costume jewelry, then add an eye patch and a pirate's hook (all inexpensive party store finds).
Dab on black face paint for a beard and missing-tooth makeup.
If you've got a stuffed bird in your toy box, use craft wire to attach it to your pirate's shirtsleeve. Now he's ready to collect his Halloween booty.

All Amazon does is execute
The Internet retailer is more than just the Wal-Mart of the Web. It's competing with -- and often beating -- some tech heavyweights in the lucrative area of online services.
By Dana Blankenhorn, TheStreet
I once owned some Amazon.com (AMZN). I bought it at $180/share and sold it at $230/share.
I sold because I thought it overpriced, but it hasn't seen that price since then. It's now at $250, and TheStreet's Robert Weinstein says the next time I see that $230 price, it'll be going down, down, down to stay.
Maybe. Any growth story is harder to sustain as numbers get bigger. As they get bigger they get serious and leave their marks everywhere. On the land, on government, on the public mind.
Amazon is no longer a scrappy upstart. It's the Wal-Mart (WMT) of the Web. It's also the Wal-Mart of the cloud. It dominates even Google (GOOG) in the sale of public cloud services.
Quartz recently unpacked Amazon's cloud revenue from the rest of its earnings, using the company's own figures, and came out with a $600 million quarter. That could grow to $3.8 billion for all of 2013 -- meaning revenue from such services are growing at more than 50% per year.
What's that worth? Business Insider figures it at $19 billion. Consider that Rackspace Hosting (RAX), the leader in serving the open-source OpenStack cloud infrastructure, is worth $6.6 billion, with half of Amazon's revenue.
Since the Amazon Web Service -- which drives the service -- remains proprietary, Amazon has a bigger moat around its AWS revenue.
A bigger moat
How about those retail sales? Take the $19 billion off the current market cap of $113 billion and you're paying $94 billion for $15.4 billion in first-quarter sales. (Take out those cloud revenues, remember.) That's still a gain of 20% from last year's first quarter. Maintain that momentum for a full year and you're looking at almost $75 billion in sales for 2013.
Now, that still means you're paying $1.25 for each $1 of forward sales, which is almost double the 55 cents per $1 of 2012 sales you're paying for Wal-Mart, or the 47 cents for each $1 you pay for Costco Wholesale (COST) revenue.
But what else are you getting?
A bigger moat, for one thing. As Amazon adds to its sales, it adds to its delivery infrastructure. It adds more warehouses, getting closer to customers. It adds automation to those warehouses, it adds data to its own data stores and it adds delivery infrastructure. Not just here, but everywhere. It should have 102 fully automated warehouses worldwide by this Christmas, according to Internet Retailer.
And those aren't Wal-Mart shoppers, my friend. They are Costco shoppers. They are the high end of the market, not the Family Dollar (FDO) end.
What's on the shelves
I tried out Wal-Mart online shopping at Christmas. They're at least three years behind Amazon in terms of basic infrastructure, like knowing what's on the shelves and getting me access to it. And the distance is increasing, not decreasing.
It's true, as Weinstein suggests, that the cloud moat may not be as sturdy as this infrastructure moat. Computer prices keep declining, and even commodity PCs get better each year. What you bought last year for $1 may cost you 50 cents this coming Christmas. But size matters here, too -- the number of potential competitors declines as size increases.
According to Distimo, a Dutch research company, Amazon is actually outselling Google Play in apps. More people download free stuff at Google, but more pay for what they download when they get it from Amazon. Its apps are still in only a half-dozen countries -- there's the rest of the world yet to come.
So, yes, Amazon has to compete with Google in apps and it has to compete with Wal-Mart in shopping and it even has to compete with Apple (AAPL) in devices. The cloud pack is nipping at its heels.
But having just a vision is no solution. Everything depends on execution, and Amazon keeps executing.
You'll pay for that, at $250 a share. But I think I was wrong to sell Amazon before. I think it has a lot more growth in it.
The author owns shares of Google, Apple and Costco Wholesale.

Sarasota police say they've put a marijuana distributor out of business.
Investigators say 66-year-old Anthony Snead purchased nearly a million dollars' worth of pot a year and then would sell it to area drug dealers.
After a six-month operation called 'Operation Hammerhead,' Sarasota police were able to confiscate five pounds of marijuana from a Sarasota home.
This is high grade stuff, separated into different strands like 'Blue dream' and 'Noble Kush.'
Investigators also retrieved nearly $132,000 in cash.
Police Chief Bernadette DiPino said, "It's unacceptable, it's dangerous, it causes violent crime."
Sarasota police chief Bernadette DiPino said last September, officers received an anonymous tip that 66-year-old Anthony Snead was dealing pot.
Investigators soon wire tapped his home on Audubon place and on April 23rd, they watched as 38-year-old Andy Charlton delivered a box with five pounds of pot.
They were soon arrested and authorities searched the house.
"There was a significant profit, a lot of money was being run through this operation," said DiPino.
Officers say Snead would spend around $1,000,000 a year on the drug and then sell it to drug dealers.
Sarasota Police Lt. Pat Ledwith said, "They weren't selling dime bags out of this house. They were selling pounds. So these are mid-level suppliers, and they are supplying other dealers in our community."
Local resident Linda Holland said, "It's illegal activity, it needs to be taken off the street."
Holland has lived in the area for many years, and said this neighborhood has had it's share of crime.
She said, "Sometimes we feel like it's one step forward, two back, but you have to keep doing it, you can't give up."
Police say this drug network has come to an end, and the two men face felony charges.
"We're gonna chase these bad guys to the highest level possible," said DiPino.
Authorities do not believe the marijuana was grown in Sarasota so police are working closely with other agencies to further crack down on this drug network.

WASHINGTON – Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President and CEO Rhone Resch made the following statement today following the release of Governor Romney's Energy Policy White Paper.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.

Solar Power Funding Healthy in Q2
Total funding in the solar energy sector amounted to more than $4.3 billion spread across 66 transactions in the second quarter of 2012, with strong results in venture capital funding, debt funding, and corporate funding in particular, according to a Mercom Capital Group report.
The Key to Exponential Solar Growth Is Virtual Net Metering — and Solar Companies
Renewable Energy World
On August 15, 2012, at 8 a.m., Colorado's Xcel utility opened up its registration for a new solar gardens/virtual net metering program. It took just 30 minutes to shut the doors on applications. The utility had received 13.5 MW in those 30 minutes, more than triple the 4.5 MW allowed. This excitement is one reason why I believe that community solar is the key to widespread U.S. solar adoption, but let's go through all of them...plus the challenges to it ever happening.
SEIA Response to Wall Street Journal Editorial
The Wall Street Journal
Regarding your editorial "The Solar-Painted Desert" (Aug. 14): Solar is the latest industry the Department of the Interior leases land to, just like mining, cattle ranching and other energy sources—no special treatment has been requested or received. More lands are off-limits to solar (79 million acres) than are available. For perspective, there are 74 million acres leased by on- and offshore oil and gas projects. Also, there are no shortcuts in the National Environmental Policy Act when it comes to project reviews and approvals.

A Smaller Route to Solar Success
There are at least a dozen major ways to turn sunlight into electricity, but one of the more interesting is using a field of mirrors to focus the sun's energy on a "power tower" where the heat is captured and used later to spin a turbine and turn a generator.

Older Americans with chronic diseases can learn how to manage their conditions and take control of their health under $27 million in grants announced today by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The Communities Putting Prevention to Work Chronic Disease Self-Management Program funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (Recovery Act) will allow 45 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico
to provide self-management programs to older adults with chronic diseases, build statewide delivery systems and develop the workforce that delivers these programs.
"Prevention activities can strengthen the nation's healthcare infrastructure and reduce healthcare costs. These new grants will provide an important opportunity for states, tribes, territories and communities to advance public health across the lifespan and to help reduce or eliminate health disparities.", said Secretary
For more information please access this information:
For a copy of the Funding Opportunity Announcement.
For more information regarding these programs, go to:
AoA's Evidence-based Disease and Disability Prevention Program.
Vice President Joe Biden announced today that the Department of Health and Human
Services will award $100 million in Recovery Act funding to provide meals to tens
of thousands of low-income older Americans in need. The funding is expected to provide
nearly 14 million meals nationwide.
"Across the country, older Americans depend
on senior centers and home delivery programs for regular, healthy meals. Today,
more senior citizens are in need, but the programs they depend on are on the brink
of reducing their services or closing down," said Vice President Biden. "The Recovery
Act will help ensure older Americans are not forced to choose between paying bills
and buying food."
The Recovery Act provides $65 million for congregate nutrition
services provided at senior centers and other community sites, $32 million for home
delivered nutrition services delivered to frail elders at home and $3 million for
Native American nutrition programs.
