Comments about Fanimation MAD3260SN, Sandella Nickel 48" Outdoor Ceiling Fan w/ Light, Remote & BPW20MH:
Bought this fan because of its looks. The fan should have been easy to program but the fan seemed unable to get the learning commands. Really slow to respond to the remote and now the uplight will not work. The fan seems to struggle to have enough power to reverse the direction and will not reverse well. It was a hassle to install and program and the way it works is not satisfactory.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

There's little doubt that head trauma can result in vomiting: the Mayo Clinic lists "nausea or vomiting" as among the likely symptoms of a concussion, and 100 Questions & Answers About Head and Brain Injuries (available as an eBook through Google) spends a section speculating about the cause of post-concussive nausea (it may be the trauma directly to the vomiting center of your brain). Regardless of the reason, we know the right response: repeated vomiting in concussed adults means a trip to the emergency room. The same Mayo Clinic recommendations say in no uncertain terms that athletes in particular shouldn't return to activity when signs of a concussion are present, and one might think that the grisly image of a player vomiting midfield might inspire an excess of caution.
Not so in Tucson last night. The Arizona Wildcats were up four and threatening midway through final quarter of their game against conference rival USC when quarterback Matt Scott suffered a head injury. Arizona had started the possession on USC's 49-yard line, and advanced to the 42 after a run by Ka'Deem Carey. From there, the drive was all Scott: a 2-yard rush, then a 5-yard rush for the first down. A complete pass from Scott to WR David Richards, a 1-yard rush by Scott, and then the play you see above: Scott running for a first down and getting kneed in the head by T.J. McDonald as he slides into the turf. Timeout Arizona. Directly after the play and during the break, Scott apparently vomited, profusely and repeatedly. Here's the back-and-forth between announcers Joe Tessitore and Matt Millen:
Millen: Matt Scott's throwing up on the 28-yard line.
Tessitore: That's not a good sign...
Millen: That's not good. Get him out of the game.
Tessitore: Any neurologist will tell you that is one of the symptoms and signs of a concussion...is vomiting in reaction to being hit in the head. But he's walking it off right now, out around the fourteen-yard line.
Play resumed and Matt Scott stayed under center. Scott handed the ball off to Carey on first down, then rushed again, for a loss this time. Then he tossed a touchdown, putting the Wildcats up by 11. Rich Rodriguez finally subbed Scott out for the next drive, and his replacement never threw a pass. The Los Angeles Times says Scott vomited again on the bench after being subbed out.
Reactions in the moment we're mixed—on the get-that-kid-out-of-the-game side, we have this guy, this guy, and the open thread at SB Nation's Arizona Desert Swarm.
But, of course, there were these people too:
Matt Scott is debatably the toughest quarterback in all of college football, puking his brains out then throwing the game winning touchdown

Matt Scott is the epitome of rally puking

Rick Neuheisel on Matt Scott's tough-guy performance: "This is John Wayne playing quarterback."
— Anthony Gimino (@AGWildcatReport) October 28, 2012
On the same day that Marcus Lattimore suffered what looked to be a career-threatening injury, raising long-simmering arguments about the morality of football's mandatory unpaid apprenticeship system, Matt Scott may well have suffered an injury that threatened something beyond his football future. Like Robert Woods before him, Scott has the unfortunate distinction of being victimized by a moment in time when college football coaches knew all the facts about head injuries, but hadn't yet gotten around to caring.

Which LaTeX distribution would you recommend for using on Linux from command line? I am looking for one with most complete coverage of packages.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and related typesetting systems. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You should install TeXlive.
Note some distributions like Debian derived ones (e.g. ubuntu) have a version of TeXlive in the package manager. This isn't a great option: it is old and it doesn't have all the packages you might need. Installing the one via the TUG website is much better. See this blog discussion for arguments.
TeXlive comes with a variety of useful things like
Install texlive2010, but consider installing it on its own partition. You may wish to update your Linux distri without re-installing texlive afterwards!
On the other hand I do not think it would be usefull to install texlive into your home directory.

Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

I've found some items and materials to make a Free mobile cart to hold my wire welder, an Argon gas bottle, and a future plasma cutter....
My question has to do with putting both of them on the same cart. Do you see any problem with the welder and plasma cutter spaced 4" apart and both facing outward and on the same cart?

How often is the "Side Door" opened on the wire welder?
Cart is almost completed. I'm using the "hammered" paint. In placing the wire welder on the cart, I can put it to the left side. If I do place it on the left end of the cart where the handle is, I will have to always move the welder to open the side door.
Are there many times when the door to the wire spool and adjustments has to be opened? Will this be a big problem?

Welder & Plasma Cutter on same cart
I'm a hobbyist, after I justified my first mig machine (Millermatic 135) - I had to built the cart. Then there was the project that the 135 couldn't do - in came 200DX tig setup, and another cart... The angle grinder works great for most work, but I "really needed" a cutting torch - a Spectrum 375 fit the bill - and another cart? No I built a second story attachment to add to my TIG cart. Works great!

I have a python script in Arc10 that uses the features to line tool. I however don't have the license to run it. I was wondering if there is a Qgis tool or process that would essentially do the same thing?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for cartographers, geographers and GIS professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The geometry tools menu in Qgis has a number of options for converting features to lines
There is also the points to path plugin mentioned in this blog post http://spatialgalaxy.net/2011/12/30/qgis-plugin-of-the-week-points-to-paths/ athough it doesn't appear to be in the official repositry.
For scripting these menu items are avaliable from the sexante plugin.
Does the "Polyons to Lines" tool in the "Vector" menu in QGIS not do what you want?


text: I got an email this morning from my finance director that some of my employees down on the first floor are clamoring for a new coffee maker for their office. They want one of those keurig vue machines or something like that. I can respect that they've used the proper channels of command to get their concern to me but I'm not so sure this is a great idea. I'm not a coffee drinker myself but my kids do love those green tea frappuccino from Starbucks. Our house sitter takes my kids by there every morning before school. Anyhoo, I'm convinced that coffee is primarily for the weak, unmotivated and slow producing people of the world. I bet if we broke this down on political income grounds we would discover that more liberals and poor folks drink coffee than the rich conservative crowd.

The classic TWO HEADED QUARTER or DOUBLE SIDED COIN! This is a real U.S. quarter, machined so that both sides are the same (either both sides are "HEADS" or both sides are "TAILS"). A sneaky way to win a bet every time!
Please choose HEADS or TAILS when ordering. If you choose HEADS, the dates on the sides will probably be different. Sorry- no choice of dates. We ship what is IN STOCK.
Here is a routine for you! This will work with ANY of our double sided coins. Start with two real quarters and one double head quarter in your right pocket and two real quarters and a double tail quarter in your left pocket. Ask your friend if he would like to play a game. Have your friend call out Heads or Tails. Let's say he picks Tails. You tell him you have three quarters in your pocket. You are going to take them out and drop them on the table. If all three quarters are Tails, he wins. If all three are Heads, you'll win. Since he called Tails, you'll take the three quarters out of your RIGHT pocket (the one with the double head coin). Drop the three coins on the table. You have a one in three chance of winning. Your friend has ZERO chance! You can keep picking up and dropping the coins until you win. Of course, if he had called Heads, you would use the coins in your LEFT pocket. Winner winner chicken dinner!!
double sided quarter coin (made from REAL US coins) NO instructions This is a coin only- no instructions. If you buy a two-HEADED coin, the dates on the sides will probably be different. Please specify HEADS or TAILS when ordering, otherwise we'll select one you.
This is an old trick! The Two-Headed Coin was described in the classic book, The Discoverie of Witchcraft, in 1584. Is it illegal to use real US coins to make magic tricks? According to the U.S. Treasury F.A.Q., the answer is- No. It is only illegal to alter a US coin with the intention of spending it as if it were a coin of a different value.From the official U.S. Treasury website: "Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who 'fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.' This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it [in a monetary transaction in trade for goods or services] to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent."

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Treatment (PDQ®)
General Information About Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell).
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (also called CLL) is a blood and bone marrow disease that usually gets worse slowly. CLL is the second most common type of leukemia in adults. It often occurs during or after middle age; it rarely occurs in children.
Normally, the body makes blood stem cells (immature cells) that develop into mature blood cells over time. A blood stem cell may become a myeloid stem cell or a lymphoid stem cell.
The myeloid stem cell develops into one of three types of mature blood cells:
Red blood cells that carry oxygen and other materials to all tissues of the body.
White blood cells that fight infection and disease.
Platelets that help prevent bleeding by causing blood clots to form.
The lymphoid stem cell develops into a lymphoblast cell and then into one of three types of lymphocytes (white blood cells):
B lymphocytes that make antibodies to help fight infection.
T lymphocytes that help B lymphocytes make antibodies to fight infection.
Natural killer cells that attack cancer cells and viruses.
In CLL, too many blood stem cells develop into abnormal lymphocytes and do not become healthy white blood cells. The abnormal lymphocytes may also be called leukemic cells. The lymphocytes are not able to fight infection very well. Also, as the number of lymphocytes increases in the blood and bone marrow, there is less room for healthy white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This may result in infection, anemia, and easy bleeding.
This summary is about chronic lymphocytic leukemia. See the following PDQ summaries for more information about leukemia:
Childhood Acute Myeloid Leukemia/Other Myeloid Malignancies Treatment.
Hairy Cell Leukemia Treatment
Older age can affect the risk of developing chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. People who think they may be at risk should discuss this with their doctor. Risk factors for CLL include the following:
Being middle-aged or older, male, or white.
A family history of CLL or cancer of the lymph system.
Having relatives who are Russian Jews or Eastern European Jews.
Possible signs of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include swollen lymph nodes and tiredness.
Usually CLL does not cause any symptoms and is found during a routine blood test. Sometimes symptoms occur that may be caused by CLL or by other conditions. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:
Painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, stomach, or groin.
Feeling very tired.
Pain or fullness below the ribs.
Fever and infection.
Weight loss for no known reason.
Tests that examine the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes are used to detect (find) and diagnose chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. A history of the patient's health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken.
Complete blood count (CBC): A procedure in which a sample of blood is drawn and checked for the following:
The number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
The amount of hemoglobin (the protein that carries oxygen) in the red blood cells.
The portion of the blood sample made up of red blood cells.
Cytogenetic analysis: A test in which cells in a sample of blood or bone marrow are viewed under a microscope to look for changes in the structure or number of chromosomes in the lymphocytes.
Immunophenotyping: A test in which the cells in a sample of blood or bone marrow are looked at under a microscope to find out if malignant lymphocytes (cancer) began from the B lymphocytes or the T lymphocytes.
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy: The removal of bone marrow, blood, and a small piece of bone by inserting a hollow needle into the hipbone or breastbone. A pathologist views the bone marrow, blood, and bone under a microscope to look for abnormal cells.
Certain factors affect treatment options and prognosis (chance of recovery).
Treatment options depend on:
The stage of the disease.
Red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet blood counts.
Whether there are symptoms, such as fever, chills, or weight loss.
Whether the liver, spleen, or lymph nodes are larger than normal.
The response to initial treatment.
Whether the CLL has recurred (come back).
The prognosis (chance of recovery) depends on:
Whether there is a change in the DNA and the type of change, if there is one.
Whether lymphocytes are spread throughout the bone marrow.
The stage of the disease.
Whether the CLL gets better with treatment or has recurred (come back).
Whether the CLL progresses to lymphoma or prolymphocytic leukemia.
The patient's general health.
Stages of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
After chronic lymphocytic leukemia has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out how far the cancer has spread in the blood and bone marrow.
Staging is the process used to find out how far the cancer has spread. It is important to know the stage of the disease in order to plan the best treatment. The following tests may be used in the staging process:
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy: The removal of bone marrow, blood, and a small piece of bone by inserting a hollow needle into the hipbone or breastbone. A pathologist views the bone marrow, blood, and bone under a microscope to look for abnormal cells.
Chest x-ray: An x-ray of the organs and bones inside the chest. An x-ray is a type of energy beam that can go through the body and onto film, making a picture of areas inside the body, such as the lymph nodes.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): A procedure that uses a magnet, radio waves, and a computer to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, such as the brain and spinal cord. This procedure is also called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI).
CT scan (CAT scan): A procedure that makes a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, taken from different angles. The pictures are made by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. A dye may be injected into a vein or swallowed to help the organs or tissues show up more clearly. This procedure is also called computed tomography, computerized tomography, or computerized axial tomography.
Blood chemistry studies: A procedure in which a blood sample is checked to measure the amounts of certain substances released into the blood by organs and tissues in the body. An unusual (higher or lower than normal) amount of a substance can be a sign of disease in the organ or tissue that makes it.
Antiglobulin test: A test in which a sample of blood is looked at under a microscope to find out if there are any antibodies on the surface of red blood cells or platelets. These antibodies may react with and destroy the red blood cells and platelets. This test is also called a Coomb's test.
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
When cancer cells spread outside the blood, a solid tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The three ways that cancer cells spread in the body are:
Through the blood. Cancer cells travel through the blood, invade solid tissues in the body, such as the brain or heart, and form a solid tumor.
Through the lymph system. Cancer cells invade the lymph system, travel through the lymph vessels, and form a solid tumor in other parts of the body.
Through solid tissue. Cancer cells that have formed a solid tumor spread to tissues in the surrounding area.
The new (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary cancer. For example, if leukemia cells spread to the brain, the cancer cells in the brain are actually leukemia cells. The disease is metastatic leukemia, not brain cancer.
The following stages are used for chronic lymphocytic leukemia:
Stage 0
In stage 0 chronic lymphocytic leukemia, there are too many lymphocytes in the blood, but there are no other symptoms of leukemia. Stage 0 chronic lymphocytic leukemia is indolent (slow-growing).
Stage I
In stage I chronic lymphocytic leukemia, there are too many lymphocytes in the blood and the lymph nodes are larger than normal.
Stage II
In stage II chronic lymphocytic leukemia, there are too many lymphocytes in the blood, the liver or spleen is larger than normal, and the lymph nodes may be larger than normal.
Stage III
In stage III chronic lymphocytic leukemia, there are too many lymphocytes in the blood and there are too few red blood cells. The lymph nodes, liver, or spleen may be larger than normal.
Stage IV
In stage IV chronic lymphocytic leukemia, there are too many lymphocytes in the blood and too few platelets. The lymph nodes, liver, or spleen may be larger than normal and there may be too few red blood cells.
Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Refractorychronic lymphocytic leukemia is cancer that does not get better with treatment.
Treatment Option Overview
There are different types of treatment for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Different types of treatment are available for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Five types of standard treatment are used:
Watchful waiting
Watchful waiting is closely monitoring a patient's condition without giving any treatment until symptoms appear or change. This is also called observation. During this time, problems caused by the disease, such as infection, are treated.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, or the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
See Drugs Approved for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia for more information.
Splenectomy is surgery to remove the spleen.
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells without harming normal cells. Monoclonal antibodytherapy is a type of targeted therapy used in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Monoclonal antibody therapy is a cancer treatment that uses antibodies made in the laboratory from a single type of immune system cell. These antibodies can identify substances on cancer cells or normal substances in the body that may help cancer cells grow. The antibodies attach to the substances and kill the cancer cells, block their growth, or keep them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies are given by infusion. They may be used alone or to carry drugs, toxins, or radioactive material directly to cancer cells.
See Drugs Approved for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia for more information.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Chemotherapy with stem cell transplant
Chemotherapy with stem cell transplant is a method of giving chemotherapy and replacing blood-forming cells destroyed by the cancer treatment. Stem cells (immature blood cells) are removed from the blood or bone marrow of the patient or a donor and are frozen and stored. After the chemotherapy is completed, the stored stem cells are thawed and given back to the patient through an infusion. These reinfused stem cells grow into (and restore) the body's blood cells.
Biologic therapy
Biologic therapy is a treatment that uses the patient's immune system to fight cancer. Substances made by the body or made in a laboratory are used to boost, direct, or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer. This type of cancer treatment is also called biotherapy or immunotherapy.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
Treatment Options by Stage
A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.
Stage 0 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Treatment of stage 0 chronic lymphocytic leukemia is usually watchful waiting.

Changes to This Summary (11/04/2011)
The PDQcancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Changes were made to this summary to match those made to the health professional version.
About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Sunday, November 02, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 2, 2003) - Freshman Aaron Scott (Houma, La.) sank two critical free throws with less than 10 seconds remaining and junior guard Sam Oatman (Neenah, Wis.) had his game-tying 3-pointer rim out as the Blue squad took a 69-66 win over the Gold in the East Tennessee State men's basketball team's first open scrimmage of the 2003-04 season Sunday at Brooks Gym. Even with the game coming down to the last shot, first-year head coach Murry Bartow said he had mixed feelings about his team's play. "I thought there were some bright spots," Bartow said. "There was some sloppy play at times, too, but that's understandable in a game like this. I saw some things I liked." Bartow and his coaching staff split the Bucs' 12-man roster into two six-man teams, with Scott, junior Michael Tolliver (Bremo Bluff, Va.), junior James Anthony (Tampa, Fla.), sophomore Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.), senior Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) and redshirt freshman Howard Bridgers (Wilson, N.C.) comprising the Blue squad, and Oatman, senior Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.), sophomore Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.), freshman Travis Strong (Memphis), sophomore Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) and freshman A.J. Jackson (Monessen, Pa.) comprising the Gold squad. For the Blue squad, Tolliver put together the most surprising effort, hitting on 7-of-8 shots from the field and scoring a game-high 20 points. Meanwhile, Smith - the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year in 2002-03 - equaled Tolliver's scoring output with 20, while also dishing out a game-high five assists. Wadood, who was selected as the SoCon preseason player of the year earlier this fall, was the only other Blue squad member to eclipse double-figures, netting 17 points and picking up five steals. As for the Gold squad, four players scored in double figures, with Nuckles and Rhoda both picking up double-doubles. Nuckles finished with 11 rebounds and 12 points, while Rhoda finished with 11 rebounds and 15 points. Fields, a preseason All-SoCon first-team selection, finished with 13 points and nine rebounds, while Strong put together an impressive early debut with 12 points on 2-of-5 shooting from 3-point-range. The Blue squad held a 34-33 lead at halftime, and both teams traded baskets in the second half with the Blue holding a 35-33 advantage. Both teams shot over 40 percent from the floor, with the Gold squad shooting 84 percent from the foul line (22-of-26). ETSU will be back in action Monday, Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. when they host Global Sports at Brooks Gym in their only exhibition game of the preseason. The Bucs open their 2003-04 season on the road with a two-game road swing through Texas, playing at Houston on Nov. 21 and at Texas Tech on Nov. 23. The team will return to Johnson City to open its home schedule on Nov. 25 against Mars Hill. To order season tickets, call 423-439-5371 or e-mail the ETSU ticket office at email@example.com.

I always find it interesting that when it appears that gun control legislation doesnt work (as is apparent by the murder rates in Chicago), then all of the sudden Liberals believe that violence is a complex phenomenon that has multiple causes and driving forces, but when they are advocating gun control legislation they pretend that guns are the only issue and if we just crack down on gun ownership violence will automatically reduce. Its a classic case of playing the game by two different sets of rules.
On Wednesdays broadcast of MSNBCs Morning Joe, the Center for American Progress Christie Hefner said that Chicagos sky-high murder rate could be blamed at least in part on climate change.

Will be travelling to the U.K. from the U.S. and would like to take my protein powder and some health bars to snack on during my visit. Is this allowed to bring into the country?

I don't see any reason why not, unless your planning to import enough to pass from personal to commercial use. In my experience, custom agents are mostly interested in animal or plant products and not packaged foods.

I-69 Contract Awarded to Indiana Company for $57M
White Construction of Clinton is low bidder on three miles in Greene Co.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has awarded a $57 million contract to an Indiana company for a three-mile section of Interstate 69 in Greene County. The bid submitted by White Construction Inc of Clinton was the lowest among five contractors and $261,000 below the engineer's cost estimate.
The three-mile contract begins near Dry Branch Road in Greene County and ends just before the State Road 45 interchange. One additional construction contract remains to be awarded for the 27 miles of I-69 Section 4 between Crane and Bloomington, with contractor bids scheduled to be opened in March.
"Indiana continues to move forward under budget with the I-69 corridor, and today we're one step closer to connecting with State Road 37 near Bloomington," said Samuel Sarvis, INDOT's Deputy Commissioner of Major Programs. "We know that I-69 will improve the safety of the motoring public and become a spark for economic growth along the corridor."
The new Interstate 69 between Evansville and Indianapolis is widely regarded as a key component to the future economic vitality of southwestern Indiana, and will connect an entire region with improved access to jobs, education and healthcare. Governor Mitch Daniels accelerated the I-69 schedule with his Major Moves highway program, saving nearly $80 million in construction costs. The 67 miles that opened for business in November also save motorists more than 30 minutes in travel time when compared to other routes between U.S. 231 near Crane and I-64 near Evansville.
For more information about I-69, please visit www.i69indyevn.org or the I-69 Bloomington Project Office across S.R. 45 from Wal-Mart at 3802 Industrial Boulevard, Unit 2.
