UGH! So my doctor's standard first visit happens between 9-11 weeks! What a bummer - I tried to get them to allow me to come in for a blood test at least, just to make sure hormone levels are ok, but they wouldnt go for it. I am a supporter of more responsible health care spend, but DANG IT...I'm anxious.
For my 2 year old DD, I was able to go in at 8 weeks but that was to my regular GYN who didnt do deliveries / prenatal care, so she probably didnt have the kind of demand/volume that an OB has.
Anyone else have to wait this long until the first visit? That is 4 weeks away!! Boo!

That is how former secretary of defense, Robert Gates writing in the Wall Street Journal, describes what drives Vladimir Putin's actions in the Ukraine, the Baltics, and any other region where he considers Russians interests and international reputation at stake. He is motivated by a massive grievance, which, one suspects, is further stimulated when his nation is dismissed as a "regional power," as the president did yesterday.
Putin wants Russia's former power (and what he views as its glory) back and operates from:
… a dramatically different worldview than the leaders of Europe and the U.S. He does not share Western leaders' reverence for international law, the sanctity of borders, which Westerners' believe should only be changed through negotiation, due process and rule of law. He has no concern for human and political rights. Above all, Mr. Putin clings to a zero-sum worldview.
Mr. Gates lays out a forceful case for why Putin must be resisted and what it will take:
… Western investment in Russia should be curtailed; Russia should be expelled from the G-8 and other forums that offer respect and legitimacy; the U.S. defense budget should be restored to the level proposed in the Obama administration's 2014 budget a year ago, and the Pentagon directed to cut overhead drastically, with saved dollars going to enhanced capabilities, such as additional Navy ships; U.S. military withdrawals from Europe should be halted; and the EU should be urged to grant associate agreements with Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine.
And on the likelihood of that happening, as things now stand, Gates does not, characteristically, dodge the realities. The crisis, he writes, comes:
… at a most unpropitious time for the West. Europe faces a weak economic recovery and significant economic ties with Russia. The U.S. is emerging from more than a dozen years at war and leaders in both parties face growing isolationism among voters, with the prospect of another major challenge abroad cutting across the current political grain. Crimea and Ukraine are far away, and their importance to Europe and America little understood by the public.
Gates is a realist. But not a defeatist. On the question of what can, if anything, be done, he has some thoughts. To appreciate them, read the whole, thing.

'German support for Kingdom in refugee crisis over JD46m
Nov 28,2012 - Last updated at Nov 28,2012
AMMAN — German support for Jordan to cope with the influx of Syrian refugees has exceeded 50 million euros (JD46 million), according to a statement issued by the German embassy on Wednesday.
"The funds are used for a wide range of measures with a number of implementing agencies," the statement said.
The measures include supporting access to primary healthcare and providing food items and heating ovens for Syrian refugees.
"With 90 million euros for the whole region, Germany is the second biggest donor after the US in helping host countries, Syrian refugees and internally displaced persons in Syria," the statement said.

One particular SPOILER from The Name of the Doctor

^But what you've quoted there is exactly what I

instead of
rejuvenation as Allyn (who is not a she) claimed. So I don't know why you think you're arguing against me when you're actually supporting the point I made -- and the point I backed up by providing direct links to actual transcripts of the episode dialogue.
Again, Christopher, you are arguing with my summary, not with the essay. Just so we're clear.
From the book, the three paragraphs that precede what I previously quoted, since we're clearly throwing Fair Use to the four winds...
We tend to forget, now, how the Hartnell/Troughton change was pitched to the original audience. In part four of "The Tenth Planet" and part one of "Power of the Daleks", there's no suggestion that it's normal for the Doctor to change his whole persona whenever he's injured. The word used in the script is
, and even that comes from an incredulous comment made by Ben, to which the apparent newcomer responds with another question. The Doctor isn't giving anything away at this stage, and his claim that the change is 'part of the TARDIS' hints that this isn't just some kind of biological super-power.
The implication, weird as it seems now, is clear: Patrick Troughton's Doctor is supposed to be an extension of William Hartnell's. Perhaps not simply a younger version, but at the very least they're aspects of the same identity, the Second Doctor drawing a parallel with a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
And there
a kind of logic there. At heart the First Doctor is just as mischevious as the Second, but too old, tired, and impatient to extol the virtues of anarchy in the way the Troughton version does (the original idea, according to then-script-editor Gerry Davis, was a "Jekyll and Hyde" transition). They're the same individual to a far greater extent than the Third and Fourth Doctors are, or the Fourth and Fifth, of the Fifth and Sixth, or the Sixth and Seventh. It should be remembered that
Doctor Who Monthly
-- the only half-reliable source of
Doctor Who
information, until the mid-80s boom in programme guides -- believed as late as 1982 that the First and Second Doctors were supposed to be the same man. A "Matrix Data Bank" column from that year informs its readers that they shouldn't confuse "regenerations" (e.g. Pertwee into Baker) with the "rejuvenation" of Hartnell into Troughton.
That was why I used "rejuvenation" instead of "renewal" pages back. It was a deliberate choice, not an error.

[SITE NOTE: Due to a confluence of things including a long drive home, four overtimes, thrilling CONCACAF qualifier business, the Tigers, this post, and a desire to stab my eyeballs whenever I look at the tape, UFR is not quite done and will go up tomorrow.]
Fitzgerald Toussaint set a Michigan record for sustained futility on Saturday by running for 27 yards on 27 carries. Since 1949, no other back has gotten as many carries without gaining at least twice as many yards. Posterity demands that someone detail what happened.
A note: blame is apportioned. When things are designated playcall it's because I don't believe it's reasonable to expect Michigan to block player X, either because he's an extra guy in the box or he's tearing towards the line of scrimmage on the snap because he has no fear of a pass. You can adjust your personal indignation levels on this based on how reasonable you thought running into stacked boxes was vis a vis Devin Gardner's 13 YPA and constant turnover threat; I'm just trying to figure out how much of the run splat was preordained by playcalls.
Ready? No. I know you're not. But here we go anyway.
Play: Power O
Formation: Tackle over I Form H
Yards: -3
Why it didn't work:
- Graham Glasgow ignored the NT.
- Predictable playcall sees PSU linebackers flow hard with effectively nine in the box.
- Jake Butt gets beat badly by a PSU LB in the hole.
Blame: 80% OL, 10% playcall, %10 TE/FB
Play: Zone stretch.
Formation: Tackle over I Form big
Yards: -3
Why it didn't work:
- PSU has straight up nine in the box.
- Michigan tries to be clever by running at Williams and Bryant, both of whom get destroyed.
- Schofield leaves immediately, so Lewan has no shot at the backside tackle.
Blame: 30% TE/FB, 30% OL, 40% playcall
Play: Power O
Formation: Tackle over Ace H
Yards: 12
Why it didn't work:
- Actually it did work.
- It works because Schofield gets nice push, giving Toussaint a crease. Glasgow gets movement on a DT and the eighth guy in the box for PSU tries to get over to the frontside when he should probably stack this up near the LOS.
Blame: Everyone is happy!
Play: Counter
Formation: Tackle over trips TE
Yards: 1
Why it didn't work:
- Seven guys in the box against six blockers; extra guy makes the stop.
- PSU WLB doesn't get suckered by the counter, gives Glasgow no shot to block him.
- Kalis gets shed, falling to the ground.
Blame: 80% playcall, 20% OL.
[After THE JUMP: just don't click through. I'm sorry I even did this.]
Upon Further Review 2013: Offense vs UConn
FORMATION NOTES: UConn did some weird stuff. My lingo on these is probably bad but this was "5-1 nickel split" with a 3-4 front that has two OLBs flanking the line:
And I just gave up when this happened, calling it "5-4 30 front":
There was also a 5-3 30 front that had a deep safety.
This is "shotgun 4-wide tight" for M. You may note the weird tilt of Funchess:
As a rule I count a TE in a two point stance as a WR for purposes of naming a formation.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: The usual basically everywhere. Save one snap for Derrick Green when Toussaint was momentarily injured, Toussaint got every tailback snap. Butt was preferred to Funchess late when Michigan was running the ball. And it seems like Chesson is slowly absorbing snaps from Reynolds and Jackson.
All else was as before.
[After THE JUMP: points! yards! (none of those things)]
Picture Pages: All It Takes Is One Guy
SITE NOTE: as is traditional during a bye week, the UFRs will be delayed a day, allowing us to ruminate in some more detail on a couple more plays that seem to be representative of larger trends.
Today in Michigan's running issues: an example of how all it takes is one breakdown for an otherwise promising play to end in the backfield. Offense and defense are opposite creatures in this regard. On defense, if you make a mistake it may or may not be punished, because someone can beat a guy and clean up for you, or the offense may not see the open receiver or cutback lane. On offense, an error is going to leave someone free and he will end your play more often than not.
A lot of Michigan's struggles so far have been one-guy breakdowns. This sounds like a promising, easy fix, but it's an unfriendly math problem. When you've got seven guys trying to execute, even if everyone has a 90% hit rate 0.9^7 is a 52% shot at someone not executing. At 95%—each guy doing their job 19 of 20 times—you still have a 30% failure rate.
That's obviously oversimplified; there are different mistakes that can make the difference between an unsuccessful run of three yards and an unsuccessful one of negative two yards. But I've been saying things like "it's just one block away from a big play" for a while now without actually seeing a lot of improvement in that category, and the previous paragraph is one of the reasons why.
Our exemplar is a zone stretch midway through the third quarter. It's first and ten after Drew Dileo extended an out route into the short seam and Gardner hit him. Michigan's in the I; UConn responds with a 3-4 look that has an extra guy hanging off the tight end side on the hash.
UConn did a lot of blitzing from the outside in this game, and this will be no exception. They'll shoot the guy on the hash upfield to be the force player and slant the other two inside, way inside in the OLB's case:
On the snap, nothing much is revealed as no one's made contact yet except Miller, who's underneath the nose tackle already:
That nose tackle is going to end up a long way downfield. I know we're all trying to take Miller's job, but he made a couple of nice blocks on these plays in the second half.
In the above shot, you can see the first steps of the defenders highlighted in the arrow picture coming inside. a half step later Michigan has both adjusted excellently and not adjusted excellently:
Both Glasgow and Lewan have adjusted their flight paths to intersect with the slanting defenders and have successfully made contact that will allow them to shove them past the play and open up a huge hole on the outside of the line, but Joe Kerridge is now trying to hit a gap that is not open.
When he does, he gets whacked.
Now off balance and a gap away from the actual hole, he's unable to block anyone. That's the one guy. When Michigan does this on defense I mention they got a two-for-one and usually good things happen afterwards.
Here bad things happen because Yawin Smallwood is now hanging out in the hole unblocked.
Fitz compounds matters by seeing this, considering a bounce, and then deciding against it, which gives up a couple yards.
Second and twelve blues.
Items Of Interest
Well, poop. Michigan blocks this really well on the line, getting both slanters sealed inside and driving the nose tackle back into a linebacker. But once Kerridge gets picked off, this play has a maximum reasonable expectation of about one yard. It only takes one error.
This would take some pretty fast recognition to fix. A lot of zone teams either eschew lead backs or place them in positions such that they, too, have a long path to the hole (think about "superbacks" in spread offenses that start lined up next to the QB). Kerridge is lined up to the playside about three yards in front of Toussaint and his first steps are upfield as he tries to build momentum for a bone-rattling LB block. Toussaint, in contrast, kind of waits and runs lateral to the LOS for a bit, so he has time to see the slant develop and find the hole that is unfortunately filled with one Yawin Smallwood.
Kerridge doesn't have that time. If he's going to make that read presnap he's probably guessing that the OLB is going to attack the gap outside of Lewan, and when that turns out to be wrong he's already committed. I'm not sure he can be any other way when he's lined up so close to the point of attack.
If you're going to do this it almost seems like you'd have to consider Kerridge another lineman and that Lewan should release downfield into Smallwood once the OLB crosses his face, but holy hell is that complicated. Michigan should be trying to make everything as dead simple as possible so they can have uninspiring runs that do pick up some yards.*
So this is a rock paper scissors minus. I don't think Kerridge has time to change his gap, and that gap gets filled by a slant. Even if Kerridge 1) has the option to pick his hole, 2) made a presnap read of the blitzer, and 3) assumed the OLB would slant inside, the OLB is outside of Williams so a one-gap slant takes him outside of Lewan. This puts Kerridge in the right hole. When the OLB goes two gaps over that's when the problems happen.
Toussaint bounce attempt again. Like that Nix play discussed earlier, here Toussaint has grim prospects that he makes a little grimmer by trying to escape. Despite all your rage, Fitz, you're still just a rat in a cage. Here it seems like he has been told that he needs to go N/S and remembers that after his natural inclination. Or he just thinks he can't get outside Williams. Whichever.
It is not an easy decision to bench Jack Miller. The entire world has already benched the guy for the Minnesota game; I'm 50-50 on that. I'm frustrated with him sometimes as well, but here's another loss on which the offensive line appears to be working just fine. He got dumped into the backfield once earlier in this game and struggled in a couple of pass protections (a couple of other pressures that came up the middle were not on him), but I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan soldiers on with their current five guys. Even if they don't, how long is Chris Bryant going to be able to stay on the field?
Also, folks speculating that Michigan might move Michael Schofield back to guard and insert Braden or Magnuson should stop. Miller is not bad enough that switching three spots on the OL and sending a good right tackle back to guard so you can insert a freshman is anywhere near an upgrade. That's a midseason switch worthy of a Rodriguez defense.
*[This is iso's role in the world. It is the DURRR SMASH of run plays, requiring almost nothing other than brute strength and rarely picking up more than three yards, but rarely losing any.]
Wednesday Presser Transcript 9-18-13: Brady Hoke
- Boo boo watch: Courtney Avery and AJ Williams are back at practice. This is not a drill.
- Boo boo watch part 2: Taylor Lewan didn't practice yesterday but will today. He's fine. Mario Ojemudia will be the most limited of the boo boo watchees. I don't know if he'll play.
- The offensive line is in an introspective phase. Changes might occur as early as this week. However, the bye week presents a much better opportunity to shake things up.
Opening remarks:
"Good practice yesterday. Thought we came out and competed very hard, which you expect every day. But I thought we physically were getting after each other, and we'll do the same thing today. We've got to play the run better, run the ball better, same old stuff you always hear, but it's the truth and it is what it is. I liked how we came out and competed with each other."
Noticeably different from last week?
"On a Tuesday? Probably a little bit."
A lot players said last Tuesday was lackluster. Can you tell that?
"They would know best if they felt that way. Maybe it's an individual thing, too."
Can you talk about UConn's defensive front?
"Yeah they're a big front. Not quite Notre Dame big in some ways, but they're a big front. Active in the linebackers. I think Smallwood is a guy who is their main bellcow when it comes to tackling and getting the ball on the ground. Just reading some of the comments Paul has made, I know they want to play better against the run also. I'm sure they've worked their tails off like we are."
Did Taylor Lewan practice?
"He didn't do anything yesterday. He did some alternate conditioning stuff, but he'll practice today. He's fine."
Wednesday Presser Transcript 9-11-13: Brady Hoke
- Boo boo watch: AJ Williams is questionable, Courtney Avery is getting better, but still probably limited.
- It's Akron week. Yawn.
Opening remarks:
"Practice was pretty good on Tuesday. We've talked about it before, we're putting some wrinkles in, both offensively and defensively, for what you want to do and what you want to try and work on for the future. Some of it always is for that opponent. It was a pretty good practice. A lot of heat, which was good, because we were relatively, during fall camp, it really never got hot. So we got to play in the heat a little bit, and Akron is going to be a high tempo team. They like to get on the ball as quickly as they can. They like to throw the ball around, get on the perimeter of the defense some. From a defensive perspective for them, they're very aggressive. You know, they like to blitz, they like to play zero coverage, they like to play man free. So they'll stack the line of scrimmage a little bit and you have to take advantage of the shots you get."
Rows Of Teeth
8/31/2013 – Michigan 59, Central Michigan 9 – 1-0
oh yeah Kalis and Magnuson beardin' it up yo [Upchurch]
You may not remember this because of the recent history of Michigan football, but often after one-sided blowouts not against Notre Dame this space will throw up its hands at the idea of crafting an actual column and skip straight to bullets and highlights and whatnot. It's tough to narrate the emotional tenor of a humid August day against a team that never had a chance.
It was kind of boring, but on the other hand it was nice not to be terrified. It was hot and Dave Brandon smells like pee.
But, you know, at some point in the third quarter Michigan threw a second team offense out there, and it was thrilling. I know this is basically me saying "hello, I am freak. Freak talk now. Freak talk." But there it is. I actually felt excited when the second-team OL came out, possibly more excited than I had been for anything that was not Dennis Norfleet all day. Ben Braden was out there. Chris Bryant. Blake Bars. Erik Magnuson. Joey Burzynski. One walk-on (not four); no upperclassmen. The future. Magnuson even got in on the goal line and did well for himself.
Michigan loses Lewan and Schofield; they also get six more bullets in their chamber as the 2013 OL class comes off redshirts, chomping at the bit. The days when Michigan's depth chart reads "three to five guys, then a bottomless pit" are close to over. Might already be over.
On the other side of the ball the equivalent moment came too soon to even think about it: the second drive. Michigan threw four guys out there who hadn't played on the first drive, and switched up some linebackers, and I'm not sure fans who don't obsessively track the numbers of everyone in the game would even notice. They'd go three deep at many spots by halftime.
They'll graduate three of the 20 players in the front seven who saw the field, and nobody from the secondary. Because of suspension and injury in the safety corps, yeah. But still.
Take this depth chart. Stack the 2014 depth chart behind it. Put 2015 behind that. You can even go to 2016, probably, what with Michigan's 2015 class approaching halfway done already. What do you get?
An infinite conveyor belt of shark teeth. It's coming. Might be here already.

Meanwhile Roy Roundtree is pretty great y'all:
Brady Hoke Epic Double Point Of The Week. Difficult to pick any one person here since no one had more than four catches or 14 rushing attempts and Gardner threw two ugly picks in 15 attempts. Meanwhile on defense, the heavy rotation meant no one except Desmond Morgan had more than five tackles.
But… Cam Gordon looked good and his two sacks are the most statistically impressive achievement on the day. And Brennen Beyer only got credited for one sack but really had two, a sack/strip and then a plain ol' sack, both of which appear in the highlights above. On both he beat blockers. Gordon got his on (well timed, effective, finished) blitzes. Since everyone is feeling much, much better about Not Jake Ryan, Not Jake Ryan gets the nod.
Honorable Mention. Jarrod Wilson (for a guy who supposedly lost his job to Courtney Avery he was lights out); Jeremy Gallon (a couple tough catches amongst his four, and two touchdowns); Devin Gardner (okay, yeah, but Vince Young); Fitz Toussaint (looked goooood despite lack of stats); AJ Williams (provisional based on possibility he was caving in the outside of the CMU defense.)
Epic Double Point Standings.
0.5: Cam Gordon (CMU), Brennen Beyer (CMU)
Brady Hoke Epic Double Fist-Pump Of The Week. The blocked punt touchdown set the tone, showed us the crazy explosiveness of Dymonte Thomas (Heiko and Ace point out that he blocked it before it even hit the punter's foot), gave us some faith that special teams might be a real asset this season, and was a Heartwarming Moment when former walk-on Joe Reynolds scored his first touchdown. So that.
Honorable mention: Desmond Morgan embodies his description in the season preview with a textbook stick of Zurlon Tipton; Cam Gordon invades the backfield to make us all feel better about Not Jake Ryan; ditto Beyer; Derrick Green rips off a 30-yarder; Reynolds brings in a tough 50-yard catch.
Epic Double Fist-Pumps Past.
Burned redshirt watch
A first-game thing to do.
On offense: De'Veon Smith, Derrick Green, Csont'e York, Jake Butt, and Shane Morris.
All of these make sense to me. Playing one of the freshmen wideouts makes sense, one or both running backs could help Michigan win a game this year, ditto Butt, and Morris needs blooding.
On defense: Delano Hill, Jourdan Lewis, Channing Stribling, Dymonte Thomas, Taco Charlton, Ben Gedeon.
Despite previous complaints about burning either LB redshirt, if Gedeon is the backup WLB I'm fine with it. He appears to be. Everyone else is obvious save Jourdan Lewis, and even if that's a debatable decision M is still redshirting two corners this year and brings in Jabrill Peppers next year. I don't think they'll be moaning about a lack of a fifth year for Lewis.
Probably redshirting: All OL, Wyatt Shallman, Jaron Dukes, Khalid Hill, Da'Mario Jones, Reon Dawson, Ross Douglas, Henry Poggi, Maurice Hurst, Mike McCray. McCray is a bit of a surprise after the number change seemingly designed to get him on special teams with Dileo. I'm very much in favor of a redshirt to get some separation here. Everyone else is obvious save maybe Hill.

Hi, I agree with the first poster. You should have your dog neutered. And the ear infection and slipped disc would make any dog snap/bite out of fear and pain. Then you have to figure out WHY your dog is biting people. Is he protecting you? Does he bite you, as well, or just strangers? You should talk to a trainer that uses positive reinforcement techniques only. "Alpha dog" training can actually make aggression worse. I have successfully trained aggressive dogs to become much less afraid and more friendly (using positive training techniques only). It takes time and a lot of work, but your dog can become much kinder. You may want to consult a vet about putting your dog on an anti-anxiety medication like prozac while he begins the training. Your dog may never be 100% friendly, but I think he definitely can be reformed. I'm sorry, but I disagree with the vet that says you would just be minimizing the damage. If you work with the right vet and the right trainer, your dog can become much more comfortable and more social. Yes, he won't be "cured". But he will be less likely to bite.

Rural hospitals are often only equipped to stabilize trauma and critically ill patients before transferring them to the nearest full-service metropolitan hospital for specialty care. eICU Programs are closing this coverage gap. Physicians and critical care nurses, staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week at an eICU hub, can now assist bedside caregivers in the diagnosis, treatment and management of trauma and critically ill patients.
"It's like OnStar for nurses," said eFocus Operations Director Kim Sieck, RN, MSN, CCRN. "They can push the button and we can be readily available with the resources and support they may need."
The eICU Program, patented by VISICU, is in use in more than 200 hospitals around the country.
How the VISICU eICU Program works:
-- The hospital patient monitoring equipment transmits patient vital signs to critical care specialists in a central monitoring eICU hub.
-- Internal algorithms alert specialists when patient conditions worsen to allow for early intervention and treatment.
-- Specialists monitor procedures, direct treatment and immediately alert Emergency Department and ICU personnel when intervention may be required.
-- Video-conferencing/Video-assessment equipment enables live interaction between the eICU team and those at the bedside.
"It gives us the opportunity to keep more critically ill patients close to home and family, while still being a part of a critical care environment with 24/7 monitoring by specialists," said Darcy Behrendt, Chief Nurse Executive at Community Memorial Hospital which is being serviced by the Alegent Health eICU Center.
"These grants are helping to bring the resources found in large
metropolitan hospitals to rural communities," said Frank Sampl

The Rise and Fall of the British World-System, 1830–1970

moreThe British Empire, wrote Adam Smith, 'has hitherto been not an empire, but the project of an empire' and John Darwin offers a magisterial global history of the rise and fall of that great imperial project. The British Empire, he argues, was much more than a group of colonies ruled over by a scattering of British expatriates until eventual independence. It was, above all, a global phenomenon. Its power derived rather less from the assertion of imperial authority than from the fusing together of three different kinds of empire: the settler empire of the 'white dominions'; the commercial empire of the City of London; and 'Greater India' which contributed markets, manpower and military muscle. This unprecedented history charts how this intricate imperial web was first strengthened, then weakened and finally severed on the rollercoaster of global economic, political and geostrategic upheaval on which it rode from beginning to end. less

Letter: Reality soaking in as to what it means to be growing old
Rich Scholer, Vero Beach
Letter: Reality soaking in as to what it means to be growing old
When I married my bride I was the "big dog" protecting the fair maiden, and it was a tale of love. Forty-six years later I'm getting old and the tail is wagging the dog.
I've just recently realized that I have been subliminally programmed to do menial tasks around the house like watering the plants.
My job is to water them so they stay alive, and believe me, many have all come close to dying — except for one. It's almost like a miracle from God that it looked so healthy. (I should be so lucky.) After three weeks of watering, I thought I had a special strain of dragon heart. Then I looked closely and realized the plant was made of plastic.
Last month I thought I was getting old when I ran the dishwasher without soap. Actually I did use soap. I just didn't open up the little soap package. (There are two kinds of dishwasher soap — one you open and one you don't. She buys both and then spills them together in a bucket below the sink.)
Our trip to Florida this year seemed uneventful, but I often think of last year's trip when we stayed in a motel that had a very dry heating system.
I woke abruptly at 4 a.m. with a tremendous thirst and drank the only glass of water I could find. What I didn't know was that before going to bed my bride couldn't find the saline solution for her contacts, so she put them in that glass of water. It probably had nothing to do with it, but I swear I could see better after drinking that water.

|General Information
|IgG, a monomer, is the predominant Ig class present in human serum. Produced as part of the secondary immune response to an antigen, this class of immunoglobulin constitutes approximately 75% of total serum Ig. IgG is the only class of Ig that can cross the placenta in humans, and it is largely responsible for protection of the newborn during the first months of life. Because of its relative abundance and excellent specificity toward antigens, IgG is the principle antibody used in immunological research and clinical diagnostics. These immunoglobulins are useful as qualitative or quantitative protein standards and as blocking agents in certain immunodetection methods. 31154 is a highly-purified IgG immunoglobulin from the serum of a non-immunized animal, primarily used as an experimental control.

Barrett sets his sights on Elite 11
Rider QB to toss with nation's best
J.T. Barrett knows he's among the elite high school quarterbacks in the country.
But as fun as it'll be hanging out with the other top quarterbacks from the Class of 2013 this weekend, Barrett also looks forward to competing at the Elite 11 Quarterback Competition.
It's the 14th year of the event, which has six qualifiers around the country to set the field for the five-day national event that begins Wednesday in Redondo Beach, Calif.
Past participants included Jason White, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Troy Smith and Tim Tebow, all of whom went on to win the Heisman Trophy.
Super Bowl winners like Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers as well as Texas great Colt McCoy went to the Elite 11 finals.
Barrett will fly out Tuesday and has to miss Rider's trip to the 7-on-7 state tournament.
He has one goal when he lands: show them his very best. It's a chance for him to see the fruits of his labor.
"It just says one of the top quarterbacks already," Barrett said. "This camp is trying to distinguish who are the best 11. I think it's a good thing. You are one of the best and competing to see who is the best.
"I'm trying to go out there and try to win the MVP for sure, but when you think about it you only control what you do. If I do my best, then I know I should be one of them getting into the Elite 11."
Barrett has competed alongside Tyrone Swoopes of Whitewright, a Texas commit, in a camp. He's also seen DeVante Kincade of Dallas Skyline, who won the MVP at the Elite 11 event in Dallas.
Barrett, who has committed to Ohio State, will get a chance to see some more stars who could be his college rivals in a couple of years.
"It's a huge compliment to J.T. and the work that he's put in," Rider coach Jim Garfield said. "He's ranked as the top dual-threat quarterback (by 247 sports), but he can really be a good pro-style quarterback as well.
"We take what defenses give us and J.T. can help us so much with his feet. I think they saw that he can go under center and take a snap and run a pro-style offense, too."
Barrett said his summer has been one of focus on working out, sometimes twice a day. For a "fun break" he plays a little basketball.
"I guess I'll have fun later," Barrett said.
He's aware of the expectations surrounding Rider football — Texas Football picked Rider to advance to the Class 4A Division II final — but he's not concerned with them. Barrett has always openly talked about getting past the fourth-round hurdle that has tripped up the Raiders and winning a state title.
Preseason rankings and even great achievements like lineman Harrison Sorge's commitment to North Texas don't guarantee district or playoff success.
Barrett sounds like he's got unfinished business at Rider.
"As far as expectations we control what we do," Barrett said. "Getting past the fourth round and going all the way is the main thing motivating us, not what people are saying.
"We still have to take care of business here and try to win a state championship. Why not go out with a bang?"

NASHVILLE — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal sounds more and more like a candidate eager to re-ignite the culture wars that divide Red America from its more urban alternative, as he gears up for a likely White House bid later this year.
In a speech to the National Rifle Association later today, the Louisiana governor is expected to link efforts to fight so-called religious freedom measures in Indiana and Arkansas with other, unrelated attempts to restrict gun ownership in the U.S. Read More »
As the Republican Party's boldface names traveled to Kansas to help save Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, and beginning this weekend the National Rifle Association will begin providing air cover to the endangered incumbent.
The gun rights group is on Thursday buying more than $100,000 in TV time in Wichita and Topeka and launching mail and digital advertising targeting independent challenger Greg Orman. Read More »
Michael Bloomberg isn't on the ballot anywhere this year, but the National Rifle Association is aiming to make ties to him toxic for Democrats in tough races.
The NRA on Monday will begin airing advertisements in Georgia trying to tether the former New York City mayor with Democratic Senate candidate Michelle Nunn, to whom Mr. Bloomberg has donated $5,200, the maximum amount allowed by an individual. The ad hits all the basics in the anti-Bloomberg genre: It mocks his wealth, alleged hypocrisy and "extreme gun control agenda." Read More »
Twenty years after the since-expired assault weapons ban passed Congress, Washington's leading liberal think says it's no longer an idea worth pursuing.
The Center for American Progress is waving a white flag on banning assault weapons in a study out Friday titled "Assault Weapons Revisited." CAP authors Arkadi Gerney and Chelsea Parsons argue that gun control advocates focus their energies primarily on expanding background checks and firearms licensing laws instead of pushing to prohibit assault weapons like the AR-15 rifle. Read More »
President Barack Obama on Thursday said Congress's failure to pass legislation mandating new background checks ahead of gun purchases was his "most disappointing" moment with lawmakers.
The White House and Congress have had their share of standoffs, including testy hearings over the Internal Revenue Service and Benghazi, debt-ceiling showdowns and a budget impasse that led to a partial government shutdown.
But Mr. Obama said the December 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School was "probably the worst day of my presidency" and the failure to enact a background-check law afterward was "probably the most disappointing moment that I had with Congress." Read More »
The National Rifle Association's skirmish with a Texas group lasted four days, with the NRA's executive director on Tuesday apologizing for the suggestion that a Texas gun rights group scale back its demonstrations. Read More »
The National Rifle Association has another fight on its hands – and this time it is calling out a fellow gun-rights group for being too extreme.
The NRA on Friday posted a 1,400-word unsigned column urging a group called Open Carry Texas to lay off its publicity stunts during which owners of large rifles tote them near and inside stores and restaurants. The nation's largest gun-rights organization called the carrying of large rifles in public spaces "downright weird" and said the Texas group puts all gun owners' rights at risk with their actions.

In the wake of the school shooting at Newtown, Connecticut, the Justice Department announced Friday that it will pay to hire hundreds more police officers to patrol schools around the country, an idea the National Rifle Association has been promoting.
"In the wake of past tragedies, it's clear that we need to be willing to take all possible steps to ensure that our kids are safe when they go to school,'' Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. "Especially in a time of increased challenges and limited budgets, our top priority must always be the safety and well-being of our children.''
The Newtown shooting sparked a renewed public and political debate over gun laws, one that led to a legislative showdown between gun-rights supporters like the National Rifle Association and the Obama administration. Read More »
Vice President Joe Biden will try to revive the administration's gun-control efforts with a speech Tuesday at the White House, where he's expected to urge Congress to act and to detail the progress that has been made on 23 executive actions.
Mr. Biden's remarks come six months after the Newtown, Conn., school shootings that launched a national debate about gun violence. The issue had faded from view since the Senate rejected gun-control legislation in April, though administration officials said it has remained a priority at the White House.
The vice president will continue to push for expanded background checks, administration officials said, but they offered no specific updates on the prospects for passing some version of the legislation that failed once before. After a bipartisan background check bill was defeated in the Senate, President Barack Obama said he would fight on, but he has made only brief mentions of the issue during the last couple months… Read More »

Six Nations 2013: Meet Wales coach Rob Howley's new boys
- Venue: Millennium Stadium, Cardiff
- Date: Saturday 2 February
- Kick-off: 13:30 GMT
Coverage: Watch live on BBC One Wales, BBC One HD, Red Button and online; listen on BBC Radio Wales & online and BBC Radio Cymru; live text commentary on BBC Sport website; watch again on BBC iPlayer
Wales go into the 2013 Six Nations with six players hoping to make their debuts for the reigning champions.
With the national squad bedevilled by injury problems, three of the new names - Andrew Coombs, James King and Olly Kohn - could figure in the second-row.
And only one of the uncapped half dozen is a back - Ospreys wing Eli Walker - while Cardiff Blues provide back-row men Josh Navidi and Andries Pretorius.
Andrew Coombs
Born: 27 October, 1984, Merthyr Tydfil
Position: Lock/back-row
Height/weight: 6ft 4in/17st 2lb
Current team: Newport Gwent Dragons
Former teams: Newport, Pontypool, Nelson
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Coombs_A
Little-known fact: Speaks Welsh
Coombs is the latest in a line of Welsh internationals recently developed by Newport Gwent Dragons.
Like retired Wales hooker Lloyd Burns, Coombs is something of a late developer, having been a scaffolder before the Dragons signed him ahead of the 2010-11 season.
Coombs has fought back from being dropped from the Dragons' plans in 2007 to return after a successful stint at feeder club Newport RFC.
James King
Born: 24 July, 1990, Wadonga, Victoria, Australia
Position: Lock
Height/weight: 6ft 4in/16st 7lb
Current team: Ospreys
Former teams: Swansea
Twitter: https://twitter.com/James_d_king
Little-known fact: Almost lost an ear playing for the Ospreys
King has impressed for the Ospreys this season with a series of energetic, forceful displays having taken his chance at regional level amid an injury crisis in the second-row.
Fellow Ospreys Ian Evans (knee) and Alun Wyn Jones (shoulder) are expected to return at some point in the Six Nations.
But their absences could provide King with the chance to prove his value in the Test arena.
Olly Kohn
Born: 19 March, 1981, Bristol
Position: Lock
Height/weight: 6ft 7in/21st 10lb
Current team: Harlequins
Former teams: Bristol
Twitter: https://twitter.com/OllyKohn1
Little-known fact: The Kohn side of his family is from Czechoslovakia.
The Bristol-born lock could become part of a King-Kohn lock partnership amid Wales' injury problems.
At 31, Kohn declared his allegiance to Wales and then became a late call-up to the squad.
He played alongside Wales' most-capped lock Gareth Llewellyn at Bristol and has played his part in Harlequins' rise to become English club champions and Heineken Cup quarter-finalists.
Josh Navidi
Born: 30 December, 1990, Bridgend
Position: Flanker
Height/weight: 6ft 1in, 14st 13lb
Former teams: Cardiff, Glamorgan Wanderers
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jnavidi
Little-known fact: Aged 16, he went to St Bedes College in Christchurch, New Zealand to study accountancy and PE
With Wales captain Sam Warburton for a rival and team-mate in the Cardiff Blues back-row, Navidi could have been forgiven for believing his international ambitions were unlikely to be fulfilled.
However, having shone despite some poor Blues displays this term, Navidi finds himself in the Six Nations mix alongside Warburton.
Like Wales coach Robert Howley, Navidi was a pupil at Brynteg School, Bridgend, which Dr Jack Matthews, JPR Williams, Gavin Henson, Nicole Cooke, Mike Hall and Dafydd James also attended.
Andries Pretorius
Born: 26 September, 1985, Nelspruit, South Africa
Position: Number eight
Height/weight: 6ft 4in/17st 4lb
Former teams: Gloucester Academy
Twitter: https://twitter.com/AndriesPret
Little-known fact: His wife, Rosie, is a Welsh international netball player
South African-born Pretorius has had to bide his time while serving a three-year residency period before Wales came calling.
He arrived in the Welsh capital via Hartpury College, Gloucestershire, which has strong links with Aviva Premiership club Gloucester.
Wales coach Howley hopes Pretorius can put pressure on their Tongan-born star Toby Faletau and add strength in depth to the squad in the process.
Eli Walker
Born: 28, March 1992, Swansea
Position: Wing
Height/weight: 6ft/13st 1lb
Former teams: Swansea
Twitter: https://twitter.com/EliWalker24
Little-known fact: Eli is the cousin of Swansea footballer Jazz Richards, who is on loan at Crystal Palace
Dubbed "the new Shane Williams" by former Wales captain and number eight Scott Quinnell, Walker has a lot to live up to.
The 20-year-old has searing pace and is also elusive, marking him out as a threat to any defence.
But he goes into the tournament with a hamstring strain and, if he overcomes that hurdle, then faces the challenge posed by giant Wales wing pair George North and Alex Cuthbert.
Comment number 38. Posted by matton 31 Jan 2013 19:50
i do not know if im right here put walker on the left wing and put north on the right wing
Comment number 37. Posted by JohnnyWALon 30 Jan 2013 21:58
@36 no doubt about mobility, for the O's his work rate is awesome and has been very physical. I think he is a fantastic player, just at 6'4 i have reservations over him as a long term 2nd row for Wales? I read somewhere he played back row at U20's, when Evans and Jones are fit at the O's again will he continue to play at 2nd row or go back to back row
Comment number 36. Posted by Come on Waleson 30 Jan 2013 21:35
JohnnyWAL .... I think he is big and mobile enough
Comment number 35. Posted by JohnnyWALon 30 Jan 2013 21:07
Is King big enough to play 2nd row at this level... although would rather him playing than Lou Reed who i think is not athletic enough to play at international level. Pretorius for me would be a better cover at 6, Wales still need an 8 to cover Toby. I think the WRU need a system like in NZ where the talent is evenly spread through the teams and fund clubs to keep the best Welsh talent in Wales
Comment number 34. Posted by Johnon 30 Jan 2013 20:07
I just cannot belive it , six new caps , three from Wales and one from England, South Africa, and from Australia. Land of my Fathers "Would you belive it " At least the Englisg have fvoreiners with english sounding names like botha and tuigeli, but none of them is a "jonezs, Evans, thomas , roberts, oh I could go on. Sacre bleu comme Ronda
Comment number 33. Posted by Johnny Cashon 30 Jan 2013 19:53
FGS!! Same old clowns moaning and whinging, its getting very tiresome.
Hanging around the sports pages waiting to comment it really is pathetic.
Comment number 32. Posted by Come on Waleson 30 Jan 2013 19:21
Couldn't agree more .... I think Ireland will be expecting
Phillips Biggar Roberts Davies Cuthbert North 1/2p
Which is partly why I think Hook for Biggar, 1/2p for Cuth and Byrne in ....
King Kohn with Warb Tip and Fal in BR.
Jenkins Hibbard Jones FR
Pretorius on the bench along with Ryan.
Eli walker with a run out vs Italy
Comment number 31. Posted by TheSongsteron 30 Jan 2013 19:14
Nice one Taff. Thanks for keeping the discussion on track. A couple of good combinations there. The King Kohn combination would be very interesting. A very combative unit.
We definitely need a trickster in the backs. Someone with a side step and the freedom to roam now and then. Walker might just be our man. RH needs to let our players play and not stifle them with such a rigid game plan.
Comment number 30. Posted by Come on Waleson 30 Jan 2013 18:58
Wild like to see Kohn and King both start on Saturday.
Would like to see Eli Walker have arun at some point in the tournament but not first up...
Would actually like to see Byrne at FB and 1/2 p and North on Wings 14 and 11 ) vs Ire
And Hook at 10 but that won't happen ..To good to have as utility on bench.
I just believe that balance gives so many more options and keeps the Irish on their toes
Comment number 29. Posted by TheSongsteron 30 Jan 2013 18:50
I am particularly looking forward to seeing Eli Walker play at some point. A great young talent with bags of potential. North and Cuthbert are excellent but sometimes we need a Shanesque character to change games.
The Second Rowers look impressive. Personally, I'd like to see James King get a game. Very good displays for the Ospreys and one to develop for the future.
Good luck to who ever plays.

Very nice paved roads with lots of room to manuver. Below the dam at Tuttle Creek. Very close to Manhattan. Green grass everywhere. Standing water here and there because of the rains lately. during country music festival, therefore really crowded. lots of big trees. During June, lots of cotton off of cottonwood trees(has a tendency to plug up your a/c) - d_h

This is a federal campground so it has all of the amenities normally offered by such. The park is clean and many (most) sites have a beautiful view of the lake. We stay here when visiting our daughter and family in Manhattan and it serves as a great home base. If it had full hook-ups we would stay longer, but not complaining. We prefer this over the state park on the other side of the dam hands down. - campersfromiowa
Jun 2014 - $9.00
Tuttle Creek COE has 4 RV sites available without reservations. When we arrived Wednesday afternoon, all 4 sites were available. Sites 12 and 22 are level enough to set the motor-home jacks without the wheels being off the ground. The 50 amp service is excellent. The water pressure is excellent. No low hanging branches, and paved roads. All sites available for reservation, were already reserved for the weekend. Arrive early in the week if without reservations. AT&T worked adequately for voice calls with one bar. However, A Wilson Amplifier was needed amplify the signal for using the hotspot internet connection with an HTC One, which works great.
The views from all sites of the lake are very nice. Deer in the afternoon, so watch driving. They are somewhat tame, and may not move out of the road when approached. The nightly rate is with the Access Pass. This is a great park, within 5 miles of Manhattan, and Super Walmart. - RV Conus

This is a very nice campground with level pads. Most of the pads are pea gravel/clay and where the full hook-ups are, they are black-top. I spend every winter there to trout fish and bird hunt. The water is mostly turned off that time of year, but they do have a few frost free hydrants that can be used to fill your holding tank. The staff at the state park office are very friendly and extremely helpful. The park has a disc golf course, playgrounds, and very small store that is open most days and a 10 acre pond where trout are stocked from November to March. The state park is located a few miles from Manhattan, KS. - User2715
Apr 2010 - $22.00
Excellent place to stay with nature's bounty at your finger tips. The lake is great for kayaking and canoeing and fishing. The trail along the river is an added bonus. - Beulah
Apr 2010 - $22.00
We're not sure which of the Tuttle Creek campgrounds we stayed in. It is confusing in the Trailer Life guide but here goes: a big, wooded park just below the dam, with many opportunities for shade. Pull through sites are 'arcs' off the park roadways, hook-ups are on the wrong side, no matter how you do it! No big deal if you've enough cord. We laughed about it. Bathrooms could best be described as 'institutional'. Reminded me of the penitentiary! Just kidding. Not the cleanest, and it took a LONG time to get warm water, but they worked. Rates are a little confusing, and you had to pay extra to unhook your tow vehicle. We chose not to unhook, and saved $50 or $60 by not going into town for dinner, groceries, and maybe a movie. Good for us, bad for the local merchants. Seems to be a case of spending a dollar to earn a dime, but hey. Let the state park people and the Chamber of Commerce battle it out, I guess. Next time I think we'll stay up north at the Tuttle Creek 'Fancy Creek' unit up north. - rmlarson

It grew at a very fast pace prior to the global crisis (about 12 percent on average between 2000 and 2007), in part due to a strong inflow of remittances and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). But exports (which are highly concentrated around copper, molybdenum, and tourism) stagnated from 2005 when growth in income per-capita continued while exports per capita started to fall-thus the bulk of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth was driven by the non-tradable sectors and in particular construction. The country was significantly hit by the global financial crisis with output falling by over 14 percent last year. Looking forward, the country faces a number of significant constraints to its development-among others a complete closure of two of its four borders, which raises transport costs and reduces contestability in local markets. On the other hand, the country's skill base is strong , and some industries are strong or have a very strong potential (tourism, mining, alcoholic products, and agro-businesses). The post-crisis policy package includes - at the macroeconomic level - the introduction of significantly more flexibility of the exchange rate, and the implementation of fiscal stabilization measures. At the micro-level the authorities are promoting expansion of sectors such as Information Technology (IT), tourism and agri-businesses. 2013-02-27T17:58:45Z 2013-02-27T17:58:45Z 2010-09 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/12531 en_US http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ World Bank CC BY 3.0 Unported Washington, DC
