Pete and Patrick discuss where they're going to go
"Does that hurt, boy?" My father walks up behind me, shoving me to the ground.
"N-No sir." I clutch my bleeding nose, holding back tears.
"That's right. Because you don't feel. You're nothing." he kicks my side.
I bite my lip hard, holding back a yelp of pain as they leave my bedroom. I don't allow a tear to fall until I hear their car leave the driveway.
I wake up to Pete gently nudging my shoulder. I rub my eyes sleepily and look around, noticing that we're in the parking lot of a hotel. Looking over to Pete a feel a twinge of guilt hit the pit of my stomach. He's already done so much for me, and he's paying for it all. Literally, and figuratively. I haven't had money of my own my entire life. My parents were very against me saving money, because they knew I'd leave. So Pete's saved his money since we met, and he's left all of his family and friends, just to save me.
"Bad dream?" he frowns.
I subconsciously rub the bridge of my nose and mumble, "Bad memory."
He nods and leans to kiss my cheek, "And now that's all they are, 'Trick. Memories." he gives me a smile, "You've nothing to worry about any more. Let's go get a room, okay?"
I nod.
We carry our things to the hotel room and collapse onto the beds. I look over to Pete, rubbing his eyes tiredly. Poor guy, he's been driving for hours. He walks over to my bed and pulls me into a hug. Random affection, is something I've gotten used to, with Pete. The first time he tried to hug me, though, I was afraid for my life. I guess it makes sense though, because the only physical contact I've ever gotten before that was violent.
"Pete?" I ask softly.
"Yes, Patrick?"
"Wh-Why are you doing this? You're spending all of your money a-and you left e-everyone-"
"Stop that right now, okay?" He hugs tighter, "I wanted you safe. I can make you safe. And I'll visit my family occasionally. But this... your safety is so important to me." he kisses my cheek, "Nothing is worth risking them going too far. They've already gone to far..." his eyes water, "But you're alive, and now I can keep you safe."
I lean into the hug and nod in defeat. Pete's a really caring person, of course he'd jump at the chance to help me. He's perfect. The day he found out my parents were abusive he was livid. He wanted to call the police immediately. I changed his mind, by informing him that they'd kill me at the sound of police sirens. I wasn't exaggerating, they told me themselves and they meant it. I still feel bad for Pete, though. The few times my parents have let me stay at his house, I did nothing but cry, wake up from nightmares and cry more. I'm always upset and miserable and only Pete sees it. Only Pete sees my pain and suffering. Because I only trust Pete. He's the only person who's never hurt me. He's the only person who cares about me. he rubs my back gently.
"Hey Patrick?"
I look up to him, "Y-Yeah?"
"What do you think of New Jersey? I have a friend that lives there."
I nod, "Sounds fine to me."
He smiles, "I think you'll like him. His name's Mikey, and he and his brother are really cool. Mikey's a bit more quieter and reserved, like you."
I fidget, "Y-You won't leave me r-right?"
"Never, Patrick." He kisses my forehead, "I'll always protect you."
"What if they find us?" I ask fearfully.
"They're probably sitting in a jail cell right now. You remember the pictures I took of you all bruised up? Evidence. Since you weren't there for them to harm... I provided the police with everything they needed."
I hug him tightly, "S-So they're going to jail?"
He nods, "And you're far away, safe to start a new life."
I blush as my eyes water, "Th-Thank you Pete.... so much."
"I'd do anything to make you happy." he smiles, gently wiping my tears away with his fingers.
I curl into him as we fall asleep. I'm free, thanks to Pete. I'm save, and I think I'll end up being happy. Things I never imagined possible until I met him. He's always been the best friend I've ever had, and the fact that he's sticking with me through this is purely amazing. He's so perfect. I don't know if I'll like meeting Mikey, though. I know Pete won't ditch me, but I'm sure I'll dislike sharing my best friend with him. I can't help but worry that they might be more than friends, but I'm probably just drawing the worse conclusions possible. I'm sure we'll all get along fine, and as Pete said I'll be safe.
Safety. How so many people take it for granted.

For thousands of years, the upper Columbia River sustained the people living within its watershed. Early people established camps and homes along the river, followed in more recent times by others who also built houses and communities along the banks of the wide, flowing river. By 1941, however, the federal government had dammed the river at the north end of Grand Coulee, creating a man-made reservoir named Lake Roosevelt that inundated homes, farms, and businesses and disrupted the lives of many. But government officials also envisioned the new lake's potential to attract visitors and residents for a new purpose recreation and National Park Service representatives began to plan for recreational use of the area.
Park Service employees of the 1940s, from people in the field on up to the Director himself, argued the merit of including "national recreational areas" within the National Park System. After considerable hesitation and disagreement, the Park Service determined that Lake Roosevelt was nationally significant, paving the way for it to become a National Recreation Area (NRA). Although Congress never enacted specific authorizing legislation to create the park, it passed generic legislation that gave the Park Service authority at the NRA. In addition, Congress has recognized the unit with line-item appropriations since 1949, and in 1970 it became a unit of the National Park System.
Many challenges face the managers of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. Some result from the boundaries of the park, established in the late 1930s and modified in later years. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) acquired all land above the water, which is at 1,290 feet at full pool, up to the "taking line" at the 1,310-foot contour line; this strip is often referred to as the freeboard lands. Because it was often easier and in some cases cheaper simply to purchase entire parcels rather than partial tracts of land, the boundary line for the NRA is irregular and sometimes goes above the 1,310-foot taking line. The width of the shoreline strip administered by the Park Service thus varies from about fifty to several hundred feet, depending on the steepness of the slope.
Lake Roosevelt's shoreline totals more than five hundred miles of cliffs and gentle slopes. Today, the Park Service manages 61 percent of the narrow strip of federal land along the shoreline of Lake Roosevelt and 58 percent of the total water surface area. The Colville Confederated Tribes and the Spokane Tribe of Indians manage most of the remainder of the land and water. Reclamation retains management of the dam, its immediate area, and a few other locations considered necessary for reservoir operations. Management of the reservoir and its resources is complicated by the fact that nine federal agencies, two tribes, four state agencies, six counties, and four cities have interests in various aspects of this essentially linear resource.
The 1,259-mile Columbia River flows out of Canada and across eastern Washington and then forms the border between Washington and Oregon. The river contributes some 89 percent of the water that flows into Lake Roosevelt today, most of it from the portion of the watershed north of the international boundary. Two major tributaries to Lake Roosevelt - thirty-mile Spokane River and fifteen-mile Kettle River - contribute about 10 percent of the inflow to Lake Roosevelt. The upstream flow is regulated by nine major reservoirs and numerous smaller reservoirs and associated power plants. From its source in British Columbia to its mouth near Astoria, Oregon, the Columbia falls 2,600 feet, thus providing many potential hydropower sites. There is often an observable current in the upper stretches. Of the thirty dams operating on the Columbia River in 1997, Grand Coulee Dam is the largest storage structure. [2] The terms "lake" and "reservoir" are used interchangeably in this report.
The primary attraction of LARO is the 132-mile-long man-made reservoir behind Grand Coulee Dam, first filled in June 1942. The reservoir's surface area is about 81,000 acres, and its recreation potential in this arid landscape was recognized from the beginning. Little Falls Dam on the Spokane River and the town of Barstow on the Kettle River mark the upper limits of the NRA on those two tributaries. The width varies from about 0.5 to 1.5 miles, and only two ferries and two bridges provide crossings for vehicles. The reservoir is drawn down each winter in varying amounts, generally not more than fifty feet. It is normally near full from July through the summer and fall recreation season, and the water depths range from four hundred feet upstream of the dam to fourteen feet near the international border. The reservoir ends some thirty miles short of the border. The national recreation area includes shoreline along about twenty-five miles of the Spokane River Arm of the lake and about seven miles along the Kettle River Arm.
Lake Roosevelt lies in two strikingly different physiographic provinces: the Columbia Plateau in the southern half of the lake and the Okanogan Highlands in the northern half. In the southern portion, lava flows and Ice Age Flood events have shaped sheer basalt cliffs that often rise nearly one thousand feet above the lake surface. In many locations, the geology is completely different on each side of the lake. Occasional lichen growths on terraced basalt cliffs provide bright splashes of color in brilliant yellows, reds, and greens. The mountains in the northern portion are largely comprised of metamorphic rock and Pleistocene sedimentary features, and limestone cliffs rise above the lake as it narrows near the northern boundary of the NRA.
The Columbia Plateau region covers the area south of the Spokane and Columbia rivers. This area is generally treeless, hot, and arid, and the vegetation is characterized by semi-arid grasslands and sagebrush communities altered by irrigated agricultural lands. The Okanogan Highlands have a more mountainous topography, with a transitional ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir forest community. Ponderosa pine becomes more dense the farther north one goes along the lake. Rocky benches with a growth of scattered ponderosa pine are interrupted by rolling grasslands that in places slope gently towards the water's edge. The bordering hills become steeper to the north, with outcroppings of limestone and granite.
Ground-hugging fog occurs frequently during the winter, and summer lightning storms are common. Precipitation ranges from ten to twenty inches per year and snow cover from four to thirty-six inches, both increasing as one moves northward.
Open-water habitat in the lake and its tributaries supports a variety of aquatic vascular plants. Because of the fluctuating lake levels, perennial marshes along the lakeshore are few; intermittent wetland areas that flood seasonally are more common. They are dominated by reed canary grass.
Wildlife in the Lake Roosevelt area is plentiful. Larger animals include whitetail and mule deer, elk, black bear, and coyote, with smaller mammals represented by porcupine, chipmunks, marmot, beaver, and ground squirrel. Large numbers of ducks, geese, and other waterfowl use the Pacific Flyway, and various resident and migratory birds are seen, including shorebirds and gallinaceous birds such as native grouse, raptors, and passerines. Bald eagles winter and nest in the area, and peregrine falcons have recently been reintroduced. Few if any of the large mammals are permanent residents of the strip of shoreline under Park Service jurisdiction. Non-native fauna includes cattle, horses, ring-necked pheasant, Merriam turkey, chukar partridge, and California quail.
Most species of fish that currently inhabit Lake Roosevelt have been introduced except for cutthroat trout and sturgeon. Sport fish include rainbow trout, native whitefish, kokanee, walleye, cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden trout, and largemouth and smallmouth bass. Until at least the 1960s, "scrap fish" were much more abundant than sport fish in Lake Roosevelt; these included such species as carp, squawfish, chub, sucker, shiner, perch, tench, sunfish, and sculpin.
LARO was officially created in 1946, although the National Park Service had taken the lead in managing the area and drawing up plans for recreational sites along the lakeshore since 1941. As soon as the lake started to form, area residents began testing the waters with small watercraft. Because of severe budget limitations, LARO was unable to provide visitor facilities until the early 1950s. The slow development angered some area residents and hindered private development by concessionaires. In 1949, the Park Service first began to propose regulations governing a wide variety of uses of the lake and the surrounding strip of federal land. The controversy that developed over these regulations in the next couple of years left a legacy of resentment and bitterness among some area residents that has been passed down to the younger generations and persists today.
Even more significant has been the major disruption of the traditional lifeways of native peoples of the area. Euroamericans took traditional tribal lands, pushing tribal members onto reservations. The salmon fishery, an extremely important source of nourishment and cultural identity for American Indians of the region, began to diminish in the late 1800s and then abruptly ended in the upstream waters when Grand Coulee Dam was constructed. The Colville Confederated Tribes and the Spokane Tribe of Indians eventually demanded compensation for the loss of their fishery and lands, and in the 1970s they began to take over the management of recreational facilities on their respective reservations. Until then, all recreation facilities had been administered by the Park Service. After years of difficult negotiations, a new multi-party agreement for managing the federal lands and waters at Lake Roosevelt was finally signed in 1990. This agreement gave the Colville and Spokane tribes control over the "Reservation Zone," land and water on each reservation that comprises about 45 percent of the total. But here again, resentment stemming from decades of misunderstanding lingers on.
Developing recreational facilities for the public proved difficult in the early years, chiefly due to the inability of the Park Service to provide much funding to the new NRA for necessary developments such as access roads, bathhouses, campgrounds, and comfort stations. Early staff became expert at putting government surplus materials and equipment to good use. The pace of development picked up considerably in the late 1950s and 1960s, as a result of the Park Service's Mission 66 program. LARO was developed with Mission 66 monies, but these did not come near the amount that had been hoped for. The success and popularity of many of the early facilities depended on the creativity and "can do" attitude of Park Service staff. In more recent years, major concessionaires have begun to play an important role on the lake, offering rental houseboats and extensive marina facilities to visitors.
Cultural resource management, essentially a non-issue at LARO until the 1960s, has become one of the most critical management issues in recent years, especially since the 1980s. Both the Colville Confederated Tribes and the Spokane Tribe of Indians have asserted their rights to manage cultural resources, not only on lands within the Reservation Zone but also on lands throughout the NRA that they consider to be their area of traditional use. The Bonneville Power Administration began funding cultural resource work at Lake Roosevelt in 1991, adding another federal agency to the complex jurisdictional situation. These changes have strained relations among the managing partners at LARO and ultimately have led to a new approach to cultural resource management.
Until the 1980s, interpretation at LARO was focused on water-based recreation. A secondary theme was the military period at Fort Spokane. Since then, interpretation has received more funding, and the focus has shifted away from teaching recreational skills to visitors to encompass stories of the Ice Age Floods, the natural environment, and various aspects of the broad story of cross-cultural interactions.
Park involvement with natural resources issues broadened greatly in the 1990s, when LARO created a Natural Resources Manager position and tried, sometimes successfully, to obtain Park Service and outside funding for various natural resource-related projects. When developing management policies for natural resources such as the fishery, forests, noxious weeds, and water quality, the Park Service focused on cooperation with other agencies, some with much more developed research programs and technical staff than the Park Service could support.
More recent conflicts over special park uses mirrored the earlier ones, pitting nearby residents against the Park Service. Early park staff signed many recreational, industrial, agricultural, and other short-term and long-term special use permits in the years when park use was relatively light. Inadequate staffing, along with boundaries that were either ignored or unmarked, led to many encroachments over time. Eventually these early uses came back to haunt the Park Service, and LARO personnel began tightening policies and enforcement in line with Servicewide directives. Local people resisted the changes, however, and took their complaints to high political levels. The Park Service recognized the need for adequate lake access and offered permittees the opportunity to convert community docks to community access points. Most special use permits have now been phased out.
Some issues that were once major concerns of LARO personnel have now become less significant or have been taken over by other agencies. These include landslides and the removal of floating woody debris on the lake. Fluctuating lake levels have caused management headaches since the late 1960s, particularly during and after the 1980s, when significant drawdowns during the summer recreation season began to occur. Although often blamed for these disruptions, the Park Service has a voice but is not a decision-maker in the process that leads to such fluctuations. Instead, those decisions are made by the National Marine Fisheries Service, whose primary concern is downstream salmon recovery; the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control; the Bonneville Power Administration for efficient power generation; and the Bureau of Reclamation for irrigation. LARO employees have had to deal with changes in lake levels, with the primary solution being retrofitting lakeshore recreational facilities to handle lower water levels.
Over the decades, LARO has shared many of the management dilemmas faced by other units of the National Park System. How can the park develop necessary visitor facilities and services when only limited budgets are provided? How should an area best be managed when many governmental, tribal, and private entities have an interest? What role should the Park Service play in the many resource issues facing the park? The answers to these questions often have not come easily. Some challenges have been resolved; others remain to be addressed. LARO's first Superintendent, Claude Greider, mentioned in 1948 the "long road ahead" facing Park Service managers of the new recreational area. Many miles on this road have already been traveled, and current and future employees will make their own way along many more miles in the years to come meeting obstacles, establishing landmarks, and moving forward.
This study documents the long and complex story of the establishment of LARO and how it has been managed since its creation. First and foremost, it is a record for park staff new and old so they can gain an understanding of how things "came to be" in this Park Service unit. The authors have tried to strike a balance in presenting various perspectives on the management of the NRA. They have endeavored to tell the full story of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, including the perspectives of the tribes, using the materials available to them. Perhaps future researchers with better access to tribal resources will be able to further fill in the picture and add to our understanding of the complex history of this unit of the National Park System.

I ordered these sheets because they come in the seafoam color which has become very difficult to find. The sheets are much nicer than I expected, although they have a low thread count, they are extremely soft. After laundering they fold easily unlike many new sheets which can be stiff. I was so pleased with these sheets that I ordered a second set.
i have searched and searched for sheets that fit our thick mattress and that do NOT pill- i have finally found those sheets! i love these- they are plenty big for our mattress and wash up beautifully. i have learned that when drying sheets, do not use a dryer sheet- this prevents pilling- and it works! highly recommend- will be purchasing additonal colors!
I was not able to find the quality of sheets to fit a Full Size bed in local stores. So I ordered from Overstock.com. When I received these Horizons sheets I was impressed with the smooth feel, sturdy fabric, and lovely colors. . .(Lilac-my favorite color). However, (as other reviewers mentioned) they do have a pecurliar odor and you will probably want to wash them PRIOR to placing them on your bed. One machine-washing cleared the odor away. I presume that the odor has to do with some chemical used in the colors or 'sizing'-not sure. But problem can be easily remedied. The 'feel' of these sheets on my bed is smooth and comfortable. They fit well with ample room to accommodate extra padding on your mattress. I'm very pleased with these sheets. . .so much so . . .that I followed up by purchasing another set of Horizon sheets AND a Duvet and shams---also made by Horizons. Everything matches! I feel that the quality of these sheets will hold up for a long time.
At first I thought I wouldn't like these sheets. I thought they felt rough out of the package. Even after the first wash, I was still not convinced. So I gave them a second wash, and they came out perfectly smooth and soft. I love snuggling into bed at night with these sheets!
These sheets are very soft and feel comfortable to sleep on. The pattern is attractive. They handled the washer and dryer nicely. I feel that they were a good value.
I was a little disappointed in the fabric being kind of limp, but I didn't check the thread count closely. My fault !
havent washed them yet but i took them out the package and they feel great! the color matched exactly and im very pleased with my product.
I did not like these sheets when they arrived and returned them without opening the package. I just didn't like the color and pattern.
My daughter is off to college and needed a nice set of twin XL sheets. These are in fun colors and have a nice feel and quality.
I looked all over and even considered making drapes for my bedroom. I wanted dark blue and room darkening that would work with my existing 1988 style curtain rods. These worked perfectly!! Some may think that the stars are a little "youthful" for this grandma, but they make me smile. The fabric is soft and flexible, which some room darkening curtains aren't. I'm very happy with my purchase.

1810: Leatherlips, tomahawked
June 2nd, 2013 Headsman
On this date in 1810, Ohio's Wyandot (aka Huron) tribe executed Leatherlips by tomahawk.
This evocative name,* and his proper Wyandot name of Chief Shateyaronyah, appears among the signatories of the Treaty of Greenville — a pact secured after military action ceding Ohio to white settlers. It's just an early installment of the rolling continental conquest with its familiar Hobson's choice for natives: resist or accommodate?
Leatherlips was a leader of the accommodationist strand, advocating peacable relations with neighboring whites.
And in a few years, this would become a very big problem for the leader of the resistance camp — Tecumseh. This soon-to-be-renowned Shawnee would shortly raise a broad confederation up in arms against whites.
To do this, Tecumseh felt it necessary to
On June 1, 1810, six Wyandot warriors showed up at the historic Black Horse Tavern, a regular Leatherlips haunt at the Sells Settlement. This germ of present-day Dublin, Ohio, was the Scioto River property of the settler John Sells, a friend of Leatherlips.
Sells heard about this unsettling visit the next morning, and immediately set out on horseback to find the party. He came upon them in a lodge, with Leatherlips bound, being tried for witchcraft — a charge that was all the vogue after the recent death of a Lenape chief who was thought to have been enspelled. Leatherlips was pushing 80 years of age.
Sells's attempts to save the elderly Wyandot's life were in vain. That afternoon, Leatherlips painted his face, sang a war chant, and knelt by his own grave, where one of the braves slew him by tomahawking his head. The Wyandot warriors allegedly drew the Sells party's attention to Leatherlips's sweating face as he died, viewing this phenomenon as an indicium of guilt.
Monument to Leatherlips in Dublin, Ohio. (cc) image from future15pic. The monument marks the spot of Leatherlips's execution, but its plaque attributing the execution date of June 1 appears to me to be mistaken.
* As much as it sounds like the poor guy needed some lip balm, "Leatherlips" was actually a nickname conferred (by whites) for his trustworthiness … as in, any promise that passes his lips is strong as leather, just like RUN-DMC.
** Today, there's a John Sells Middle School in Dublin in this pioneer's honor. Leatherlips, for his part, has his name on a street.

[...] The Delawares were okay with letting colonists march through their territory to attack Detroit, but when the U.S. pushed for them to get into the fight themselves — and when frontiersman murdered the pro-neutrality chief — it pushed many Delawares over to the British side. Opinion among their neighbors, the Shawnee, Wyandot and Mingo, likewise tended to range from "hoping to stay out of it" to "allying with the British," and the latter sentiment was further encouraged by a kindling sentiment among peoples all along the frontier that uniting their efforts was their only hope of holding back imminent Anglo expansion.

Influenza and the Blood Supply
Frequently asked questions regarding influenza and the blood supply:
Q. How long do I have to wait to donate blood if I have had the flu?
A. Blood donors must feel healthy and well on the day of donation. You should wait until you no longer have flu symptoms, have recovered completely and feel well before you attempt to donate.
Q. Can I get the flu from a blood transfusion?
A. No. Influenza virus has not been shown to be transmitted through blood transfusion. According to research, seasonal influenza does not appear to pose a significant contamination threat to the blood supply.
Q. Can I donate, or how long do I have to wait to donate, if I've had a flu vaccination?
A. You can donate after receiving the influenza vaccine if you are symptom-free and meet all other eligibility requirements. Neither the flu shot nor the intranasal form of the influenza vaccine is cause for a blood donation deferral because there is no risk of transmitting influenza after receiving the vaccines.
Q. How is the flu impacting the blood supply?
A. The flu season may cause a decline in local blood donations as donors experience flu-like symptoms. Anyone who is not feeling well on the day of donation will be deferred from giving blood. Because donors are unable to keep their appointments, the Red Cross is seeing a lower-than-expected turnout at some scheduled blood drives.
Q. Are Red Cross staff members taking precautions to help prevent the spread of the flu?
A. Red Cross staff members take standard precautions to prevent the spread of the flu, including: frequent hand washing, cough etiquette, influenza vaccination, and appropriate management of ill staff members to minimize potential exposure.
More information about preventing influenza is available at the following locations:
American Red Cross: http://www.redcross.org/news/article/Steps-to-Avoid-the-Flu
CDC website: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/index.htm.
Q: How do I sign up to donate?
A: Please call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org to schedule or cancel a blood donation appointment. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Eligible donors can call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or go to redcrossblood.org for more information and to make a blood donation appointment.

MONDAY, May 19, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Many people have heard that human urine is devoid of germs, but a new study seems to question that idea.
"Doctors have been trained to believe that urine is germ-free," Dr. Linda Brubaker, dean of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, said in a university news release. "These findings challenge this notion."
Brubaker's team analyzed urine samples from 90 women. It found bacteria both in the urine of healthy women as well as the urine of women with overactive bladder. However, the germs were different between the two groups, the researchers said.
"The presence of certain bacteria in women with overactive bladder may contribute to overactive bladder symptoms," lead investigator Evann Hilt, a second-year master's student, theorized in the news release. But only more study can confirm whether those bacterial differences are "clinically relevant for the millions of women with overactive bladder," Hilt added.
About 15 percent of women have overactive bladder, which triggers a sudden need to urinate. Forty percent to 50 percent of these women do not respond to medication. Brubaker's team believes differences in bladder bacteria may be why some women respond to drug therapy while others don't.
The study was presented Sunday in Boston at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. Findings presented at medical meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
"If we can determine that certain bacteria cause overactive bladder symptoms, we may be able to better identify those at risk for this condition and more effectively treat them," co-investigator Alan Wolfe, professor of microbiology and immunology, said in the news release.
The next steps for the Loyola team will be to determine which bladder bacteria are helpful and which are harmful, how these bacteria interact with each other and their host, and how this new knowledge can help patients.
More information
The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more about overactive bladder.

State, vendor agree to dissolve deal for DMV technologyBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | December 06,2012MONTPELIER After spending six years and more than $18.5 million to modernize computer systems at the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles, the state is scrapping the effort, officials announced Wednesday.
Top aides to Gov. Peter Shumlin said the state and computer giant Hewlett-Packard had agreed that HP would return $8.37 million to Vermont and that Vermont would return to the company all physical and virtual rights to all software and documents created by HP to build a system that has been in the works since 2006.
Its a no-fault divorce, said DMV Commissioner Robert Ide, a realization by both sides that this relationship is not going anywhere.
HP is the fourth vendor on the contract, after a series of corporate takeovers that culminated with HP buying Electronic Data Systems. HP spokeswoman Ericka Floyd did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Under its agreement with the company, Vermont will pay $262,000 to HP for a point-of-sale system that enables DMV clerks to enter customer transactions into the state system, Ide said. But he said that represents just a small fraction of the system upgrades that were envisioned when the state launched the effort in 2006 to modernize the then-30-year-old DMV computer system.
Ide and Jeb Spaulding, the state secretary of administration, said the biggest loss to Vermont taxpayers likely is the nearly $5 million in state staff time DMV employees have put into trying to implement system changes that now are deemed to have failed. Other unreimbursed state expenses include money Vermont spent for change management consulting and other services, they said.
Ide, who became commissioner in 2009 as the project was already under way, said he does not plan to shop for a new vendor immediately.
Im going to be working with my crew here to keep our existing system working and running, he said. Ide said that states from Rhode Island to Arizona had experienced similar problems and that he wants to wait to see another state making a successful systems upgrade that Vermont may be able to replicate.
After another state is successful, then perhaps Id have the time and energy to go across the street and ask for money from the Legislature to start the process anew. He added, My people need a break. Its been incredibly discouraging for our people who were working on this project.
While the struggle has caused internal difficulties, Ide said he did not believe customer service at the DMV had suffered. The DMVs current system has not been out of service a single day since he got there in 2009, Ide said.MORE IN Vermont NewsFather speaks out Full StoryCharges added to Full StoryMan bitten by Full Story

I'm really starting to think about rolling on Cloth gear for my elemental shaman now, seeing as the stats can outweigh the armor reduction. I mean, we are ranged spell casters, so the extra armor points in wearing mail really doesn't do much except delay our death by three hits? And usually the AoE damage from bosses and trash mobs are of the spell variety, so our armor reduction is not really relevant.
The only thing I can find us elemental shamans rolling on in Ulduar asides from the gloves are the rings.
I'm praying that the loot from the Coliseum when it goes live in 3.2 drops some nice elemental gear for us, because by the looks of it, we're not getting much from Ulduar.

St. Martin's Paperbacks
The three-year-old girl sitting on the steps of Brown's Club for Distinguished Gentlemen insists that one of its members is her papa. Aidan de Quincy feels obligated to help the wee thing, even though she certainly isn't his—or is she? To find answers, Aidan must first track down the lovely widow he swore to forget when their passionate affair came to a painful end. It doesn't help that Madeleine Chandler is as sensual and enticing as ever…
For three years, Madeleine had dreamed of seeing Aidan on her doorstep. The secret that once forced her to leave him now compels her to pretend that this sweet child is hers—a lie Aidan will surely never forgive. Yet the contented days and exquisite nights that follow are worth the heartbreak she knows must come. The truth will out—and when it does, there will be the devil to pay…
"From its unconventional prologue to its superb conclusion, every page of the first in Bradley's Runaway Brides series is perfection and joy. Tinged with humor that never overshadows the poignancy and peopled with remarkable characters (especially the precocious Melody) who will steal your heart, this one's a keeper." --Romantic Times BOOKreviews on Devil in My Bed

I've been having this feeling that TWGOK manga will end soon..
just wanted to find any information about the manga
If anybody know's some useful information please inform me
edit Tittle: Is The current TWGOK arc the last one?
I've been having this feeling that TWGOK manga will end soon..

edit Tittle: Is The current TWGOK arc the last one?
I don't have any official information, but it feels to me like TWGOK may be winding down to a close.
Keima was very tired lately and he went through an emotional wringer. Remember, he was so worn out he actually got sick during the final goddess hunt. He tried to get back to 'normal' (for him) by playing games and not going to school. But that is when he neglects to eat, sleep, etc. Now he is depressed, too... he was sad he hurt Chihiro and he did not properly deal with that. He may even have been avoiding school to avoid seeing Chihiro.
So I don't think that this time travel arc will be the last. There will be 1 more, after he gets back. Once Vintage is defeated & the past/present have been healed, the spirits will be sealed away again, the goddesses will leave, & all the girls that had them will forget Keima again. His contract will be over, the collar will be gone, the demon girls will go back to hell & the only one left that will remember Keima is Chihiro.
I hope he will be polite & kind to her. I hope she will be understanding & forgiving to him. I hope she will comfort his heart. They will both be hurting in different ways, & they need each other. Even if he doesn't give up games, she will add something so special to his life. If they get together at last, that will be a good ending.
I must be the odd one out. I get the feeling that the latest arc's the beginning of something on the scale of the goddesses arc. To me, this manga's halfway through.
Atleast that's my feeling. Definately probably a minority though. But why introduce two new characters, one of which is pivotal to something big coming up, if it's to end soon? Not to mention, Wakaki has established the harem of sorts (he's still a good parody writer, so that could be moot anyway) but no development since it came about. Aswell as that, thanks to a picture showing the characters in chibi form, including Urara and Dokurou before the former was even seen, we've yet to see Lune. So, to me, we've still got quite a bit ahead of us.
This is a sig.
Fav anime/manga plus pairings:
WORKING!! - SoutaxInami. SatoxYachiyo.
The World God Only Knows - KeimaxChihiro.
AnoHana - Well, the pairings happened anyway. Sad sad story.
Fav Characters: Keima Katsuragi. Chihiro Kosaka. Souta Takanawa. Mahiru Inami. Elsie. Shikamaru Nara. Popura Taneshima.
It's not really in any particular order... and I'm sure I have atleast one name wrong :P
As much as I don't want the series to end, I think this would be (one of) the last arc(s) of the manga. We all have observed Keima changes bit by bit every time an event happens. And to me, he's slowly, but steadily, beginning to accept the shitty reality that he once despised. We can slowly see Keima changed, most obviously towards Elsie. He's beginning to treat her as his younger sister (but personally I want her to be his final heroine!!), being more responsible like a big brother. From their "date" at the amusement park to him protecting her in this arc once they confronted Vintage.
That doesn't necessarily mean it's going to end soon. There are still many "checkpoints" ahead, but the fact that all of the "unknown" parties involved are about to be revealed, namely Jupiter/Demeter, Lune, Elsie's sister, Akanemaru, etc., may mean something. Of course, this is just a hunch. Nonetheless, I think if the primary purpose of the manga is to show Keima's graduating from the gaming world, it's partially successful already. But if it's more for popularity concern, like Kanon or showing more girls, it still has a long way to go, for we readers always desire more!!
But who knows? Maybe after this whole arc, finishing off Vintage and such, for some random reason, every girl suddenly regains their memory, and thus a brand new (chaotic) arc of a truly harem series? Or something would happen once Keima dies (too much gaming god mode), and the battle between the Realms is triggered once again, because of his immense (2D) Love Power-Up? Or, (in my personal taste), another story of how Keima would realize the changes in the relationship between him and Elsie, and how they would overcome all obstacles to finally be together!
"An imperfect reality, a perfect game." - Keima Katsuragi
FROM1toN, you just said the perfect end to me.
Currently reading:
I recommend:
I'd love to hear suggestions
well FROM1toN's ending is good and all but I still think that there will be another are or arcs because I have a feeling that the goddesses or the chief knew something of high importance. I don't remember well the scenes but if I am not mistaken the chief sent keima a letter so that he will save dokouro right?. so even if keima were to stop vintage's plans doukouro who was needed by the chief has something to do in the future.( well if my memory was wrong about the chief wanting keima to rescue dokourou, I atleast have a feeling that dokourou has a purpose or task in the present so there will be another arc.)
*sorry if I have spelled some names wrong. it has been a while since I last read TWGOK =D
I think there's more Arcs ,at least (a very long) one, I don't think there will be more new capture targets (for me even urara was a surprise), But a lot of things are still a lot of mysteries than the "Travel" Arc can solve (like Elsie sister?). and This manga is full of surprises.
how many of you want keima to stop playing games at the end?
I liked him the way he was at the beginning.
hmmm.... Why I think of Conan every time I see keima child form?
Last edited by ahmadmanga; 03-24-2013 at 08:43 PM.
I hope that the author answwers all these questions like who Elsee's sister is and where Haqua was born and what happened to all the men in hell and why they were able to see ayumi's spirit the first time and not any of the others... but the author may just leave those as unresolved mysteries.
Speaking of last arc, is it just me or have a couple chapters disappeared on here?

Poetry and song
In bed with all that I get wrong
New words writ with tune
New dust to lie upon the gloom
Each one was a sinner
And each done was a saint
Each one called to dinner
But each one called was late
Loved and soon hated
Discarded soon after baited
Pictures for a lie
Theatre without fair Muse's eye
I sought the wisest word
In the depths of the song
Its name too often heard
Was love, and so I long…
Here is the last poem
Shutting its door, leaving its home
Here is the last song
A requiem for all the wrong
What was dreamt was so dear
How softly sleeping lies
What was dreamt was unclear
Through hardened waking eyes

MACOMB, Ill. (WGEM) -- From 12 wins in season one to 14 victories in season two, the JD Gravina era at Western Illinois has progressively gotten better.
And that brings things to the current season which tips off Halloween Night.
The pieces are in place for the Leathernecks to have a break out season.
All-Conference forward Ashley Luke returns for her second season in purple and gold, and local products, West Hancock's Marley Hall and Canton's Tori Niemann, are eligible in Macomb for the first time.
Gravina knows offense isn't an issue and he's hoping they're even better on the defensive end.
"I honestly think we can score with about anyone, especially in our conference, but defensively is really where we need to improve ourselves," Gravina said.
"We made a lot of changes this year, things I've never done in my coaching career, that I'm really excited about. I think especially since we have some length and quickness this year I think we can be really effective, and I'm excited to see how that goes in the early part of the season."
Western opens with an exhibition with Quincy University a week from Thursday.
WGEM's coverage of the Leathernecks continues Sunday night -- how the presence of Hall and Niemann should give the Leathernecks an extra lift this season.

Areas of Specialization:
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I am an Associate Professor of Sociology at University of Nebraska—Lincoln. Before coming to UNL, I received my PhD from Pennsylvania State University and was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the National Study of Youth and Religion. My research focuses on the intersections between religion, social status, social contexts, and social change. Much of my research examines the association between social class and religious beliefs, practices, and affiliations. I pay particular attention to how social contexts influence these relationships, incorporating congregational influences and, more recently, the role of social networks. I also explore the changing nature of American religion. Addressing discrepancies between theory and methods, my research assesses the independent impact of both time and generations on changes in religion and, more specifically, in the association between social class and religion.

Tainted by the person that she was becoming,
the constant glares due to the transformation that was occuring..
how the girl that she use to be was now a woman.
That the braids that once were, had come loose of their ties and now became
sleek and straight,
that the skin that was once bruised had now been polished smooth.
Curves that now formed although not as smooth as ocean waves but yet defined
like an intricate sculpture, had made their presence known.
She was no longer the soft spoken, feeble child from before who was made fun of,
but the woman whose strut made the first man tremble,
every womans heart quiver with a slight touch of envy,
that her smile as sweet as it seemed was just as devious and enchanting as that
of a thorn bush.
That the woman she had now become was effortlessly,

Chesbro, Jack
John Dwight Chesbro
Born: June 5, 1874, N. Adams, Massachusetts
Died: November 6, 1931, Conway, Massachusetts
Played For:
Pittsburgh Pirates (1899-1902), New York Highlanders (1903-09), Boston Red Sox (1909)
Elected to the Hall of Fame by Veterans Committee: 1946
Happy Jack Chesbro was an early spitball ace whose 1904 performance with the New York Highlanders still rates among the game's most remarkable seasons. He started 51 games, completed 48 and was the victor in 41 while hurling 455 innings. From 1901-06, he won 154 games, averaging 25 per season. Hurling for pennant winners in Pittsburgh and New York, Chesbro was a league leader in winning percentage three times; wins, appearances and games started twice each; and once each in complete games, innings and shutouts.

Did You Know:
that on April 20, 1903, Jack Chesbro pitched the very first game in the history of the New York Yankees, then known as the Highlanders?
I would advise every boy to play professional baseball if he has the talent for it.

After being benched for three days in a row, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andruw Jones and his agent Scott Boras asked for a trade and the Dodgers responded. The Dodgers are sending Andruw Jones and his $36 million contract to the A's for 22-year-old outfielder Carlos Gonzalez. (I WISH THIS WOULD HAPPEN)
Jones and his agent felt a fresh start would help the struggling former All-Star outfielder get his groove back. Boras said the fact that Oakland is a West Coast team was one of the main reason Jones agreed to waive his no-trade clause. Boras also liked the fact that Jones would be able to start and play center field on a daily basis. He also stated that the young players in the A's organization would benefit from his arrival and could learn a few things from Jones.

As we enter September, we're entering what most people call Autumn or Fall, but what I like to refer to as "Coffee Season"... Or even more specifically, "Pumpkin Latte Season".
Now, don't get me wrong, I love coffee in any form, but lattes are special. They are the snuggly, milky warm, stay at home in front of the fire with big warm wooly socks on and play board games member of the coffee family. I adore them.
Another reason I love lattes so much is that they are so versatile. Not only can you make them look pretty but you can also add flavours into them....my favourite being pumpkin pie spice. For some reason I can't seem to enjoy pumpkin spice lattes when created by my favourite coffee shops, but when I make them at home, I'm in heaven. And even better, making them at home means I can keep my pyjamas on and cuddle with my boys whilst I enjoy it, instead of chasing my 2 year old around.
I'm sure that there is a very complicated recipe for the specialist pumpkin lattes, but again, I have three boys and usually only one hand...and so I cheat. Each year when we visit the pumpkin patch with the boys, I buy myself a little tub of pumpkin spice. I add quite a large sprinkle to my latte powder (I'm no barista, it's just me and the kettle) and then when I've mixed the drink, I sprinkle some on top too. It's blissful.
My in-laws have a very fancy coffee machine...and so does our family photographer. I'm secretly coveting a machine (not so secretly now) and I dream of the day that making coffee does not involve boiling our crazed kettle without lid which likes to pick and choose when it switches off at boiling point, then precariously pour our Hampshire water through a cup filter I had from Whittards years ago to protect us from limescale. Limescale means a seriously crunchy drink if unfiltered. One day, I tell myself. One day I will awake in the mornings and wander into my beautiful kitchen, where I will
Our pumpkin patch sadly doesn't open until October, and so until the time comes that I can welcome my homemade pumpkin spice lattes into our home again, I've found a new coffee fix. A really naughty one.... The chocolate frappe. (I can't find the acute accent on my keyboard). I had completely forgotten about these from my high school days when I used to arrive home from school and fix myself one in the free shaker we'd been sent in the post. They were so indulgent and so good...even though back then I pretty much hated coffee, the chocolate taste won out. They taste even better now....and they are so easy to make!
In fact, they're so good that this one is calling my name...

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) — Energy Fuels has reached a settlement with Telluride and San Miguel County in a lawsuit aimed at halting construction of the company's proposed Pinon Ridge mill.
The Daily Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/TmIPSB) the settlement has Energy Fuels participating in a monitoring program for the watershed above Telluride. Town and county officials also will be allowed to inspect the mill and mines that feed it.
The Telluride Town Council has approved the settlement. The San Miguel County Commission is scheduled to vote on it next week.
The settlement doesn't cover two other plaintiffs in the lawsuit. One remaining plaintiff is the Sheep Mountain Alliance, which also challenged state health officials' decision to issue a license for the proposed mill. A new administrative hearing on the license is scheduled to start next week.

And yet... back in reality where the sky is blue, they have had 2 years between releases. Come on people connect the brains - if 3.3 is the ultimate patch for 3.x they aren't about to repeat the mistake they made with the first Naxx and release a raid, then an expansion, meaning people don't get into the raid. 3.2 in August... 3.3 at the earliest is December or so - about 4 months. December is 13 months from Wrath ship - they're not going to release the final raid of Wrath and then turn right around and release Cataclysm 3 months later. God, people, think before you type.

Paper Plane Competition
At the early stage of this project, as we were only briefed about the Cube, it was really difficult for me to visualize the multi-touch screens and the environment described, but after watching the sample applications, actually visiting the Cube, and conducting the initial analysis it became much easier to think about the possible applications for Cube, and I started to think about a wide range of contents that can be delivered using this environment. However, there was still one challenging question to answer: Why the Cube?, there are many other devices with multi-touch screens available today, such as iPhone or iPad, and I had to look for the answer that how my application is going to benefit from the unique features that the Cube offers.
Eventually I came up with the idea to develop an Origami game for this environment to enable the users to learn how to create Origami and even allow them to create free style Origami. At this stage the problem that I was facing, was that the idea was too abstract, and I needed to have more details on how the actual application is going to work, what would be the steps, and final results. After going through consultations and receiving feed backs, I decided to concentrate on a specific type of Origami, which is paper plane, and add competitive elements. These were the challenges faced throughout different stages of designing this application; I was also facing some problems with the technical issues of implementing the prototype. I have used the green screening technique to prepare the final presentation. We were introduced to Adobe After Effect software as the tool to edit the videos, the problem was I had never used this application before, and it was a huge challenge for me to learn it very quickly, eventually I learned about the web site (http://www.videocopilot.net/) which includes useful tutorials and finally I managed to pick up the basics to deliver the presentation, and I only wish I had more time to spend to learn more and improve the quality of the final video.
I have learned a great deal on how to communicate my ideas and how to prepare a prototype, it was also great to learn how to approach a future focused project.

Regular monitoring of children's lives is a cornerstone of evidence-based policies to improve their well-being. So why are the world's richest countries failing to produce timely data on child poverty and deprivation?
The label of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is increasingly being given to very young children. Despite this, very little is known about how diagnosis affects children's outcomes. A UK-based research team sets out to ask some new questions about diagnosing children with ASD.
Implementing a program faithfully makes a difference – sometimes a big difference. In a new study, Australian researchers claim that the gap between high and low fidelity equates to up to six months of extra schooling for elementary school children participating in a school-wide mental health initiative called KidsMatter.
Evaluation results often focus on what happened in the previous year or two. What about the here-and-now? Is what services are doing now working for today's children and families? Performance management systems might offer an answer.
Evidence-based practices should not only be culturally relevant, but also provided by staff that understand the communities they serve. This is nowhere more true than when working with sexually abused children.
Parents in Britain are more likely than families in Spain or Sweden to buy the latest toys, gadgets, and fashions; so how come their children aren't as happy?
The family systems approach that underpins parenting programs such as Multisystemic Therapy, Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care and Functional Family Therapy may have a value in the treatment of juvenile sex offending, psychologists at the Medical University of South Carolina suggest.
Nick Axford explains the differences between English and Welsh approaches to implementing and evaluating Sure Start – and considers the lessons for the future.
You there! What do you think you're doing – improving protective factors and reducing behavioral risk, or peddling a cultural perspective that regards most forms of human experience as the source of emotional distress?
The Positive Parenting Program Triple P is continuing to prove its worth amid increasing concerns about the prevalence of behavioral and emotional problems among Australia's children.
Results of introducing an American parenting program to parts of Wales under the aegis of the well-established UK prevention initiative, Sure Start, have been so encouraging that they pose important challenges to makers of UK policy.

Tests in Australia on the effectiveness of the Family Risk Factor Checklist screening questionnaire have highlighted the difficulties parents and teachers alike face when they attempt to predict which children are most prone to mental health problems.
The final official review on child protection offers a shakeup of services.
Given the well-known barriers to implementing evidence-based programs, is it better to identify their discrete elements and trust practitioners to combine them in tailored packages depending on the needs of the child and family in question?
Even modest interventions can prevent some disruptive kids from growing into adult criminals. The question is: just how do these programs work? Keeping kids out of trouble as teens is one route to success, a Canadian study finds.
A little girl scrapes her knee. Crying follows. A little boy laughs at the girl. A decade later, antisocial behavior follows. An exaggeration? Or could it really be true? A recent study makes a strong argument that the link is real.
Although conduct disorder, ADHD, and oppositional defiant disorder are considered separate diagnoses of chronic behavioral problems, research suggests they are triggered by similar childhood environments. A recent review investigates the overlap.
You say "mum" and I say "mom." You prefer tea and I prefer coffee. But 2+2=4 on both sides of the Atlantic, right? So why does a US-developed cooperative learning program deliver good math results in its home country, and none at all in the UK?
Can a $60,000-per-child intervention be cost-effective? Yes, if it's well targeted, argue the developers of Fast Track. The program may be 10 years long, complex, and hardly cheap – but it works for children who are at the highest risk of developing life-long conduct disorders.
Recently we reported on early steps taken to test the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of a peer-led parenting support intervention. While the results were promising, the study design was not particularly rigorous. Will a tougher test of the program produce more compelling results?
Getting providers to adopt single evidence-based programs can be hard enough. So what about the far tougher task of persuading government to implement a national evidence-based strategy? It can be done – and here, the developers of Austria's national anti-bullying program tell how they did it.
A precondition for effective prevention is a robust research base, but a review of the evidence on interventions to reduce self-harm among adolescents shows that there is still a lot to be done.
Every September, thousands of fresh-faced new college students wave goodbye to their families, move away from home, start making new friends – and set out to discover how much they want to drink when Ma and Pa aren't interfering. A combination of parent discussions and peer training can help with the transition, a recent study finds.
There are no silver bullets for crime reduction. But massive changes do happen – as the drop in New York crime over two decades shows. So where does change come from? It's the accumulation of "a thousand small sanities," a court reform organization argues.
"Booster interventions" are designed to maintain or enhance the impact of initial interventions. But can they boast a big enough effect to justify their use? New research on the SAFEChildren program offers some of the first reliable evidence.
Sex education programs targeting teenage pregnancy and sexual health have struggled to find the secret to success. One curriculum, called Reducing the Risk, decreases sexual risk-taking among teens – but variations on the program show there's more to learn.

Sam Survives, Kim Cruises
Published August 30, 2010 12:00
NEW YORK, NY, USA - The second set was a little streaky, but Kim Clijsters snapped back into it when it mattered, coming back from 0-4 to close out Greta Arn in straight sets, 60 75, her 26th straight victory in the first round of a major.
Clijsters, the No.2 seed and defending champion, stormed through the first set in just 18 minutes and, after going down a double break in the second set, gathered steam again, winning seven of eight games for the victory.
"Obviously at the beginning of the second set she started going for a little bit more, and I kind of lost my positioning and footing on the court, going with the wind then against the wind," Clijsters said. "Everyone has to work hard to win a Grand Slam, and that's what I'm going to try to do. I want to make sure I play my best tennis when I have to and try to win my matches."
Clijsters has now won 15 straight matches at the US Open, 7-0 to win in 2005, 7-0 to win last year and 1-0 so far this year. She missed 2006 with injury and sat 2007 and 2008 out while in retirement, which she came out of last year.
Click here for a look back at Kim's triumph at the Open last year.
She says she doesn't feel any pressure this year: "I know what I have to do if I want to do as well as I did last year. The amount of work and time you have to put into trying to bring your best and beat all the players, you just know after so many years. I'm not feeling any pressure - I'm excited to defend my title."
On the woman who is seeded No.1 this year, Caroline Wozniacki? "For such a young girl and for someone who hasn't had that much experience yet, she can read an opponent's game really well. Her consistency is one of her strengths, and she moves well too. She's still young - she has been improving too."
Other Top 8 seeds moving through in the day session were this year's French Open finalists, Samantha Stosur and Francesca Schiavone. Stosur, seeded No.5 and the runner-up in Paris, edged Elena Vesnina, 36 76(2) 61, while Schiavone, who became Italy's first Grand Slam champion on the terre battue and is the No.6 seed here, was near perfect against Ayumi Morita, 61 60.
"To get through the first round at a tournament where you've never done that great is always a bit of a relief," said Stosur, who has never gotten past the second round here - the only major where that's the case. "As the match went on I thought I played better and better. To get through is really pleasing."
"I was really ready and excited to start a new Grand Slam in the US, at the US Open," said Schiavone, whose best result here was the quarterfinals in 2003, falling to Jennifer Capriati. "I had to work hard today. Maybe the score looks easy, but nothing is easy. I played very well. I had to play at a high level."
