In the northeastern central part of Germany lies the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, aka Sachsen-Anhalt. Only recently unified in 1990, this area of Germany has a long and interesting history.
Magdeburg, in northern part, was one of the greatest Christian centers in the 10th century. Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg changing the Christian world forever. As well, renown writers and musicians, such as Goethe, Heine, Bach, and Handel, were at home in this area of Germany.
The 3,000 km Deutsche Fachwerkstraße (German Timber-Frame Road) is a tourist route going through Saxony-Anhalt all the way to Lake Constance. Along the route, you'll see traditional timber-framed houses as well as other impressive sights. One of those is this castle, Schloß Wernigerode, which was originally built in the 12th century.
This state is well known as an agricultural centre, with the Magdeburger Börde being the most fertile. Wheat, oats, barley, rye, and sugar beets are the most important crops. Also grown throughout the state are onions, asparagus, apricots, and, of course, cabbage. The foods of this region is reflected by the agriculture, which includes dairy, pork, and lamb.
Klump, a yeast pastry laid over food and then baked, was so common that an old saying from Magdeburg was "Kale and Klump fill the farmer's belly." Now, potatoes are frequently used to replace the yeast pastry making this a German version of Shepherd's Pie.
Kale, aka Grünkohl, features widely in dishes in this area, such as Klump, mentioned above.
I've several kale casseroles that I like to make. One's made in the oven and the other, on the stove. They are hearty and filling dishes that are reminiscent of dishes made in farm kitchens for centuries.
You'll find several other kale recipes, as well. Check them out here.

FDA Approves Allergan's Ozurdex, Rejects Levadex
The FDA on Monday approved Allergan's (NYSE: AGN) diabetic macular edema (DME) drug Ozurdex.
Allergan's drug Levadex, a migraine treatment, was rejected by the FDA.
Wells Fargo analyst Larry Biegelsen is projecting a positive outcome for Allergan with its latest stage in development. With few cases of inflammation in DARPin, Biegelsen views DARPin as a plus, in comparison with Roche's Lucentis having none. Wells Fargo has an Outperform rating on Allergan and a price target in the range of $182 to $183.
Leerink analyst Seamus Fernandez says additional delay to Levadex is "frustrating," removing $30 million of sales from 2014 and raises concerns on long-term peak sales.
Shares of Allergan are down 2.2 percent.

First, gourmet chocolate was all the rage. Recently, we told you about about gourmet marshmallows. And now, it's all about premium sodas.
The $15.6 billion soda industry is diversifying with beverages like Jones Soda Company's Blue Bubble Gum Soda, Izze Beverages' Sparkling Clementine and Cricket Green Tea Cola.
Though these specialty sodas may take a while to reach the status of Coke and Pepsi, industry insiders say it's only a matter of time. "Soda is an indulgence, a treat … [and] when consumers want to indulge they want to indulge in something that's really good," said Peter van Stolk, president and founder of Jones Soda.
Some restaurants are picking up on the trend by matching entrees with premium sodas that will complement or highlight the taste of their food, just like they do with beer and wine.

Luke Skywalker , Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Kit Fisto have been stated to be in the DLC for the force unleashed. Along with a Jedi temple on Coruscant that is suppose to tell you more on Starkiller's fathers. The level size is going to be about medium, which is bigger than Cloud City. No word on when the DLC comes out or how much it will cost.
To me it sounds almost worth it, and I don't buy DLC that often. Playing around with Obi-Wan and Luke will be a blast. Plus since they are putting in the likes of Ki-Adi-Mindi and Kit Fisto, what is to stop them from putting in Mace Windu. Maybe there can be more content, like more levels and character skins later.

Book excoriates Israel for attacking USS Liberty
WASHINGTON James Bamford's new book "Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-secret National Security Agency," is a jaw-dropper. Virtually every page exposes long-buried secrets, intrigues or official lies.
Bamford has dug up plenty that some big guns in Washington and other countries especially Israel would rather see in the official secrets cemetery. "Body of Secrets" could launch a fleet of Capitol Hill investigations.
Bamford was the author, more than a decade ago, of the first book-length study of the National Security Agency (NSA, until then often referred to as "No Such Agency"). That volume was called "Puzzle Palace," and his second book has been long awaited. At a recent book signing staged in the espionage museum adjacent to the agency's grounds near Fort Meade, Md., NSA employees lined up by the hundreds to buy "Body of Secrets."
One story stands out in Bamford's new book a 34-year cover-up of Israel's air and sea attacks on the National Security Agency spy ship USS Liberty June 8, 1967, killing 34 and wounding 171.
The Liberty's crew, including NSA signal intelligence specialists, suffered 69% casualties, a rate far worse than most U.S. naval disasters, as Israeli Mirage and Mystere fighters raked the ship, tearing 800 holes in its hull. Israeli attack boats followed up with five torpedoes enough to sink a battleship. These ripped a hole in Liberty, in Bamford's words, "big enough to drive a bus through."
Israel hasn't publicly acknowledged its attacks on the Liberty, though radio intercepts from an NSA plane show clearly it knew the ship was flying the Stars and Stripes. But, privately, Israel has been forced to swallow the blame.
According to Bamford, the Israelis paid off families of the dead $100,000 apiece and every crew member $20,000 chicken feed compared with the $4 billion U.S. taxpayers send Israel every year.
Grudgingly, 13 years after the cowardly attacks, the Tel Aviv government reimbursed the U.S. $6 million for a ship that cost 10 times as much.
But why did it happen in the first place? Why would Israel try to kill every living thing aboard the Liberty?
According to Bamford, Israel was ripping up the neighborhood in the1967 war and Liberty's highly sensitive ears were listening in while Israeli troops were massacring Egyptian prisoners not far away, near El Arish. Commanders wanted it covered up, pronto, he wrote.
Israel was trying to blame its neighbors for a war Tel Aviv had started. It wouldn't do for the Israelis to be charged with war crimes, Bamford writes.
Lyndon Johnson's White House accepted Israel's "mistake" excuse though it knew otherwise. Even more shamefully, Congress held no public hearings on the attack. The cover-up continued for more than three decades, Bamford says.
"Crew members were threatened with courts-martial and jail time if they ever breathed a word of the episode to anyone, including family members and even fellow crew members," writes Bamford.
The White House ordered Rear Adm. Lawrence Geis, who commanded the U.S. carrier force in the Mediterranean, to recall jets sent to kill the Israeli attackers. Geis reportedly told Lt. Cmdr. David Lewis, the NSA commander on the Liberty, that President Johnson "came on (the telephone) with a comment that he didn't care if the (Liberty) sunk, he would not embarrass his allies."
Top administration officials told Deputy NSA Director Louis Tordella that the most important thing was to protect Israel from embarrassment. Bamford learned this from documents he said were classified "top secret/umbra."
William McGonagle, Navy skipper of the Liberty, was awarded the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for heroism in saving the lives of many during the attack. He then maneuvered the stricken ship, still afloat but losing bodies and secret papers to the sea, all the way to Malta, preventing scores of drowning deaths.
But even McGonagle's heroic feats were hushed up, says Bramford.
Whereas an elaborate and often-moving White House ceremony is arranged for most living MOH winners, McGonagle got his virtually in secret at the Washington Navy Yard.
There's much more in "Body of Secrets," but this bit of history is enough to make you call for Lyndon Johnson's posthumous impeachment.
Congress should raise the USS Liberty issue the next time "friend" Israel comes, hat in hand, for another $4 billion.

The greater New York City area is home to over 20 million people, or about 1 out of 16 U.S. citizens. And considering the economic opportunities and way of life this area that stretches as far as Connecticut to even Pennsylvania offers, the greater New York metro can only expect more future growth.
But climate change risks, especially sea-level rise, leave the Big Apple and its surrounding communities vulnerable in the coming decades. A recent study issued by the Regional Plan Association (RPA), which advocates for improved economic health and environmental sustainability in the wider metropolitan area, suggests that local leaders and urban planners need to do far more to mitigate the threats of sea-level rise than what is now under development.
Four years after Hurricane Sandy left billions of dollars in damages, the region has already been far more proactive than other metropolitan areas at risk of flooding due to climate change. But between an aging infrastructure, natural subsidence and, of course, rising seas, much of the area will be lost — leaving a huge impact on citizens and the region's economy.
The RPA's report assessed the risks the region could experience in scenarios that include levels of one, three and six feet of sea-level rise.
At one foot of sea-level rise, larger cracks start to appear in New York City's infrastructure, according to RTA's projections. Areas such as Staten Island's eastern shore, Jamaica Bay and Flushing Bay will suffer the most impact from regular flooding. The region's transportation will deal with constant nuisances, such as LaGuardia Airport experiencing periodic closings due to intermittent flooding. High-density coastal communities in New Jersey tend to have better infrastructure and may be unscathed, but a few low-lying towns and the Teterboro Airport could begin to endure regular flooding.
Under a three-foot scenario, the region's landscape begins to see more dramatic change. Connecticut communities such as Stamford, Bridgeport and New Haven start to lose shoreline real estate. The bustling Hoboken rail terminal will flood often, and many freight lines and distribution centers in the Meadowlands area will be lost — which would be a significant blow to the regional economy. As many as 40,000 Long Island residents could see their homes uninhabitable. One of LaGuardia's runways will be unusable; subways to coastal neighborhoods such as Howard Beach and the Rockaways will most likely be knocked out.
Naturally, at a sea-level rise of six feet, New York City's landscape would witness a dramatic change. The city's infrastructure, as it now stands, will not be resilient enough to prevent 200,000 New Yorkers from losing their homes. Industrial areas such as the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Sunset Park will be inundated. And JFK Airport, while not completely damaged to the degree as what would occur at LaGuardia, would have no choice but to close in the event of storm surges. Meanwhile, 165,000 Long Island residents would find themselves displaced, the Hudson River would take over areas long lost to land reclamation, and many of the iconic Jersey Shore resort communities that fuel the state's tourism economy would disappear.
This dystopian future, however, could be avoided – and smart planning could also reduce the multibillion-dollar losses insurance companies would suffer under these scenarios.
The first priority, say the RPA authors, is to implement the climate commitments made last year in Paris. Planning for the worst scenarios, even those that will not happen until most of us are gone, needs to start now – or, in reality, yesterday. Decisions such as zoning updates, open-space protection plans and projects that could stem the threat of sea-level rise must be a leading conversation among local leaders and city planners now.
More data modeling, which could help insurance companies pinpoint the greatest risks, would also help.
Of course, all this planning would require generous funding for both short- and long-term risks. And in a nod acknowledging that those who live near the shoreline are not just the wealthy, the RPA's researchers insist the poorest and most vulnerable are also accounted for, as they will have fewer work and economic options in what will most likely become a more volatile world.

Dar*win"i*an (?), a. [From the name of Charles Darwin, an English scientist.]
Pertaining to Darwin; as, the Darwinian theory, a theory of the manner and cause of the supposed development of living things from certain original forms or elements.
⇒ This theory was put forth by Darwin in 1859 in a work entitled "The Origin of species by Means of Natural Selection." The author argues that, in the struggle for existence, those plants and creatures best fitted to the requirements of the situation in which they are placed are the ones that will live; in other words, that Nature selects those which are survive. This is the theory of natural selection or the survival of the fillest. He also argues that natural selection is capable of modifying and producing organisms fit for their circumstances. See Development theory, under Development.

OA Dx Pitfall: The Problems with X-ray Nonspecificity with normal aging – X-ray knee OA in 44% 80 y/o, 17% nls >55 – X-ray hand/foot OA in 85% 75-79 y/o – Spine osteophytes in 90% >50 Insensitivity – Of pts w/chronic knee pain, 38% xr OA, 49% "pre-radiographic: (cartilage defects on MR, Cibere '10) Artifactual JSN PPV severity of jt space AP knee standing & skyline
Osteoarthritis Dx Pitfall: RA vs OA OARA Presentation Activity Rest MS Hand RF X-ray: JSN sclerosis osteophyte Chronic mono, poly 30 mins DIP, PIP + in 15% > 65 Non-uniform + Chronic poly 1 hr PIP, MCP 75% Uniform –
OA Diagnostic Pitfall: Is It Really Even Arthritis? Swelling most specific sign POM, ROM, tenderness Hip – "troch bursitis", radiculopathy, meralgia paresthetica Knee – IMD, "anserine bursitis" Spine – nonspecific BP - malignancy, Fx, ID
The Case of JZ/Chronic Knee Monoarthritis: What Would You Order? Pick one: 1)AP weight-bearing & lateral knee xr? 2)AP weight-bearing & skyline knee xr? 3)MRI? 4)Arthroscopy? 5)Knee tap for SF analysis? 6)RF ANA ESR CRP? 7)No further tests
OA: So How to Diagnose? Clinical picture +/- x-ray Older patient with chronic mono or polyarthritis Insidious pain & stiffness – with activity, with rest (non-inflammatory) – Location, location, location
A Case of Knee OA (JZ) 69 y/o M with 2 yrs knee OA Pain Hx MI, BP, meniscal tear Meds – ASA 81, atorvastatin, lisinopril, Ben-Gay Non-pharmacologic Rx ? (may pick 1) 1) Quad strengthening exercise ? 2) Fitness exercise ? 3)PT – "evaluate & treat" (US, TENS,...) ? 4)A cane ? 5)Patellar taping ? 6)Wedged insole neoprene sleeve ?
Knee OA: Non-Pharmacologic Treatment Quad str if weak – modest benefit – Worse if malaligned? "Land-based" fitness exercise modest US, TENS worthless BMI not a risk for progression - minimal Sx (Niu '09) Cane – 1 st RCT 2012 sig pain (no sham), 2 mos Patellar taping (medially directed) – real or sham Sole/sleeve – little benefit or harm
A Case of Knee OA (JZ) 69 y/o M with 2 yrs knee OA pain Hx MI, BP, meniscal tear Meds – ASA 81, atorvastatin, lisinopril, Ben-Gay Initial pharmacologic Rx? (pick one) 1)Acetaminophen 2)Salsalate 3)Glucosamine CS 4)Celecoxib (Celebrex) PPI 5)Naproxen PPI
Osteoarthritis Treatment: Acetaminophen & NSAIDs Response varies pt-to-pt and not great Acet efficacy for pain – ES 0.21 (Zhang meta '04) NSAID efficacy for pain – ES 0.23 (Bjordal '04 meta) – 15% better than placebo after 2-13 wks – 23 RCTs – only 4 independent of industry 13/23 excluded pts not "NSAID-responsive"! NSAIDs of = efficacy, ± > acet – ES (pain) 0.23 vs acet (Zhang '04) risk of PG-inhibitors in elderly Topical NSAID = placebo (Lin '04) Try to d/c chronic NSAID
Acetaminophen: Emerging Issues 2012 FDA – max dose 3, not 4 g/d – 3 g/d BP 3/2 mm after 2 wks (Sudano, Circulation '10) ? Preferential Cox-2 inhibitory activity – CV risk in epi studies – Will RCTs show tox to NSAIDs?? (Hinz, Ann Rheum Dis '11)
So How Efficacious Are NSAIDs/Coxibs for OA (2)? "The current analysis does not support long- term use of NSAIDs for this condition. As serious SE are associated with long-term NSAID, only limited use can be recommended." Most trials excluded pts with co-morbidity In chronic conditions, 30% in pain is clinically meaningful – For knee OA, ES of 0.4, 20% pain Bjordal, BMJ '04
Risks of Prostaglandin-Inhibitors GI ulcer/bleed – RRR with PPI only 40% ARF – Traditional or Cox-2 specific CV events Dose-dependent in older pts (OA) if co-morbidity
Cardiovascular Risks of NSAIDs Arterial thrombosis Heart failure Atrial fibrillation? Blocking anti-platelet effect of ASA
Coxibs Cause MIs Cox-1-sparing Cox-2 inhibitors Rofecoxib (Vioxx) – RR 2-4 in RCTs withdrawn (as was "Bextra") High CV risk pts exluded from trials Celecoxib – HR of CV event = 1.8 for 200 mg b.i.d. (Solomon meta '08) even with LD ASA if higher pre-Rx CV risk – No proven risk for OA low dose 200 mg/d
Celecoxib CV Events v. Dose & Baseline Risk Solomon et al. Circulation 2008;117:2104
Do "Traditional" NSAIDs Cause MIs? Meta '06 (Kearney, BMJ) – RR ibuprofen 1.5, diclofenac 1.6 (vs placebo) MEDAL RCT '06: diclofenac = etoricoxib – Diclo relatively Cox-1 sparing Meta '11 (Trelle, BMJ) of 31 RCTs – None with prespecified CV endpoint – Traditional NSAIDs associated with stroke, CV death For cohort pts with prior MI, HR = 1.5 for death /MI (Circ '11) – Independent of Rx duration – Diclo risk greatest Observational studies residually confounded? Naproxen RR = 1, "PRECISION" RCT in progress
Schjerning Olsen A et al. Circulation 2011;123:2226- 2235 Incidence of death during treatment with all NSAIDs
Mortality Increased if HF Patients on NSAIDs Gislason et al. Increased mortality and cardiovascular morbidity associated with use of NSAIDs in chronic heart failure. Arch Intern Med 2009;169:141-9 Danish cohort study of 35K patients on NSAID after HF discharge HR for death: celecoxib 1.7, ibuprofen 1.3, diclofenac 2.1, naproxen 1.2 (vs. no NSAID) re-hospitalization for both HF and MI Dose-dependent Avoid NSAIDs in HF
CV Risks of NSAIDs: Conclusions & Recommendations Coxibs cause MIs Selective (for Cox-2) NSAIDs may – Avoid diclofenac until safety proven Avoid NSAIDs (PG-I) in arteriopaths – All "elderly" Avoid NSAIDs in pts with HF So, what can we do? – Acetaminophen, ? non-acetylated salicylates, opiates for OA – Prednisone for crystal arthritis
Osteoarthritis Dx Pitfall: Superimposed Crystal Arthritis Both gout & pseudogout more common if OA Beware "OA flares" Gout – IPs, MTP 1, knee – Eccentric sw or yellow skin (IP-tophus) – Tap ! Pseudogout – Knee, wrist, MTP 1 – Tap ! Prednisone vs NSAID vs IA steroid
A Case of Knee OA (JZ) "Fails" non-pharm Rx, acet & salsalate Now what? 1)Celebrex 200 mg/d +/- PPI ? 2)Ibuprofen 600 mg t.i.d. +/- PPI ? 3)HC 5/acet 325 q6h prn ? 4)Steroid injection ? 5)Hyaluronan product injection x 3-5 ? 6)Acupuncture ?
OA Rx: Opioids? Datapenia 3% abuse behavior in VA Rheum Clinic (Ytterberg '98) – In practice? Meta, chronic non-cancer pain, older adults (Papaleontiou, JAGS '10) – ES for OA pain 0.46 (n=14 RCTs) – ES fort OA f'n 0.43 (n=9 RCTs) – Constipation 30%, nausea 28%, dizzy 28%, sleepy 21% if older – Studies short-term, extended-release, hi dose, pretty healthy Acet/HC, LA morphine ?
Opiates for OA Were More Toxic Than NSAIDs Solomon DH et al. The comparative safety of analgesics in older adults with arthritis. Arch Intern Med 2010;179:1968-78 Cohort study of 13K Medicare pts who initiated NSAID or opiate (most screened pts rejected) – 90% OA, mean 80 y/o, 25% on PPI – Matched on propensity scores – 1 yr continuous followup Hazard ratios for opiate vs. NSAID: – MI 2.3, mortality 1.9, hip fx 3.0, falls 1.9, GI bleed 1.1 Unmeasured confounders?
Popular OA Treatments No Better than Placebo (!) Glucosamine (meta, Wandell, BMJ '10)
Glucosamine/Chondroitin for Knee OA: Results Endpt Plac Gluc CS G+CS Cel 20% pain (1 ) 60% 64% 65% 66% 70%{.008} Pain (BL230) 86 83 84 100 100 F'n (770) 227 222 235 276 289 {.03} Pt global (50) 13 12 12 16 15 Acet/d 0.6 0.5 0.7 0.6 0.4 #s in ( )=baseline values; { } =p v placebo when <0.05 WOMAC pain scale 500, function 1700, global 100
OA Treatments No Better than Placebo (!) Glucosamine Steroid joint injections IA hyaluronic acid Acupuncture – Meta '07 (Manheimer, Ann Intern Med) sham Sham pretty good
So, What To Do for OA? 1)Acet 3 g/d 2a)? Non-acetylated salicylate if at risk b)prostaglandin-inhibitor(s) if low risk 3) Opioid - Muscle strengthening -Cane & taping for knee ? -If pt believes, glucosamine? Acupuncture? -Pts will feel better on something that doesn't work than nothing
Osteoarthritis Treatment: Knee Arthroscopy ? > 650K per yr, $5K per Previous uncontrolled trials pain relief in ½ – But why would it work ? – Placebo effect, regression to the mean ? Moseley '02 NEJM – DBRCT, n=180 (90% M), <75, mod knee OA pain on max med Rx – Real vs sham (effectively blinded), 24 mo – Almost as good as sham – Results don't apply if mechanical Sx present See NEJM 9/11/08 !
Arthroscopy Failed for Knee OA Moseley et al. NEJM 2002;347:81
Should My Knee OA Patient Be Scoped for a Torn Meniscus? MR meniscal tears in 50% 70-90 y/o random Framinghites – If chronic sx, 45% 50-90 y/o v. 26% if not – If significant X-ray OA, 82% had a tear, regardless of sx – 61% with tears were asymptomatic the past month – & ¼ with painful OA have torn ACL (3% controls) So older pts often have epiphenomenal tears on MRI, esp if OA present But... a few will really be c/o sx tears Scope more likely to succeed if... – Sx of locking and pain – MRI: displaced tear without BM lesions Englund. NEJM 2008;359:1108; Suter. Arthr Care & Res 2009;61:1531
Surgical Rx of Hip & Knee OA: Joint Replacements (Older) TJRs still going in 90% at 15 yrs Much better than medical Rx Elective, but some wait too long Deep infection <1%, Sx venous T-E 1-3%, death 0.5% (90d) with TKR Gender and age bias ?
Surgical Rx of Hip & Knee OA: Joint Replacements (2) 2012: epidemic of premature failure of metal- metal hips – 1/3 of recent THRs, ? 500K pts – Annual revision rate 4% v. <1% (British Registry) – "metallosis" – Zero evidence of comparative effectiveness – No new hip/knee '03-'07 beat established TJR (Anand, JBJS Am '11) – Time to settle for established prostheses?
Osteoarthritis: Diagnostic Pitfalls & Therapeutic Conundrums Summary OA Dx is a "clinical" one A "flare" implies a superimposed 2 nd arthritis Medical Rx is not great! Try acetaminophen 1 st Beware all prostaglandin inhibitors in elderly Be cost-effective Pts will feel better if you do something that doesn't really work than if you do nothing

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:Fits well in areas that are tight fitting & when the space is limited. The fit is tight & great that there are 2 in each pack. Very easy to use & it couples to the unit very quickly.
Cons:None that I see at this point.
OtherThoughts:Nice when you have the issue of having usb cables or usb sticks that stick out to far.If you don't want things sticking out & breaking off. This snugs it to the unit & puts it in a direction that is out of the way
Bottomline:Yes a good product if you don't want to break the usb port.

"Saber Idol" To Highlight ConNooga
Posted By Carol on October 1, 2007
ConNooga will be the setting for a new style of lightsaber contest in 2008.
Saber Idol is a "saber" contest designed around the format of popular American TV shows. Saber Idol will be an entertaining event for the entire family that is designed for the master saberman/saberwoman to showcase his or her skills and talents.
The competition is to be entered by individuals that have a set of pre-choreographed �saber� demonstrations that highlight one�s finesse without fighting. Demonstrations will be set to musical themes chosen by the contestants themselves. This controlled and civilized demonstration will not only show the skill of the contestant, but their discipline, grace and flare for the dynamic and dramatic.
The competition will be broken down into three rounds with convention attendees choosing the Saber Idol after live voting. Three Saber Idol judges will determine the initial eight contestants culled from videos submitted on YouTube and via mail.
The Judges are as follows:
"Tanthos Jorlac" - Founder of The Jedi Assembly, international costuming group; Force Battle Extreme contestant - Master Replicas Combat Trials - Hollywood, CA 2007.
"Jade Starlighter" - Fan judge, member of The Jedi Assembly costuming group.
Simon Drego � Sabermaster extraordinaire, swordsmaster to Master Replicas 2007 freestyle champion Qui-Kel Jinn.
Hosting the competition will be "Qui-Kel Jinn," Force FX Freestyle Champion at Master Replicas Combat Trials in Hollywood, CA May 2007.
For Official Rules, general info and prizes see www.connooga.com or myspace.com/saberidol
ConNooga will run February 22 - 23, 2008, in Chattanooga, TN.

Effective SEO will need to meet vital criteria. You won't want your competition to rank higher in SERPs. Each and
every business will need to have a high ranking in organic SERPs if success is to be an outcome. If your competition is ranking higher, you will need to determine what you are missing. High rankings are indeed important for every business and it's much easier to achieve positive ROI with professional SEO services. There is criteria that will need to be met in regards to SEO and rankings. The following items should be noted by every business. The SEO criteria includes the following:
- make sure to measure your social media reach; each business will gain deep insights about their competition when they measure their social media reach. You can discover why your competition is ranking higher than your business. Keep in mind, the social media signals play a vital role in website rankings.
- discover the top-ranking keywords; knowing the top-ranking keywords will lead to high rankings. Research your competition and discover new methods for ranking higher. It is wise to include the volume of searches for keywords, the number of long-tail keywords, the number of short-tail keywords, the top ranking keywords, the ad positioning of the search engines and much more can be incorporated too
- do a content analysis; keep in mind, there is a varied amount of content-based criteria. This may all be compared between the actual sites. Become informed about content and the current trends
- extra data is included in rich snippets; the rich snippets appear in SERPS. The term SERP is referring to the actual search engine result page. The rich snippet might be a photo of an author, reviews, videos and any extra content. Include rich snippets when possible
- include traffic analysis and backlink; keep in mind, your competition might be building links. The links may come from many places. Do not make an assumption that the links from a standard site are going to give you a higher ranking. It is wise to become creative and discover as many niche sires as opposed to ordinary and standard ones. Remember that you can find these niche sites from your competition. The linking profiles might be very fruitful to you
- find out if your competition has an XML Sitemap and a robots.txt file; You can check this out with the use of a WooRank. This is a Website Review
There is always more valuable SEO and the criteria available. It is worth your while to stay informed of the many ways to attract traffic and be found in the SERPS. Stay on top of the current SEO criteria.

Blog Author
Patty Sue O'Hair - Vicknair Artist or PSOVART
As an artist I have to be true to myself and admit that I paint what makes me happy. I like color, I like fun colorful happy images. So you will find paintings of actual living clowns, many of which are my friends on Facebook, you will also find tribute paintings to clowns who are no longer with us, but the laughter lives on. You will find Carnival masque paintings, because I love the glitter and the excitement and the mystery caught in the eye. You will find beautiful flowers, tranquil boats, and lions, and tigers, and bears...oh my... well I haven't painted a bear yet but, it could happen. The point is I paint happy images that I hope you will enjoy looking at as much as I enjoyed painting them.

Ben Green helps England U19 to draw with Australia
Somerset youngster Ben Green played a significant part with the ball in England Under 19′s test match draw with Australia at Emirates Durham ICG.
After four days of high quality cricket the spoils were shared in the North East despite some excellent individual performances.
Having won the toss Australia batted first and made 446 all out with the 17 year old from Devon taking three for 72 from 15.5 overs. In reply England made 392 all out.
Australia declared on 253 for six second time around with Green claiming three for 65 from 20 overs but as the final day drew to a close England couldn't quite reach the required total and finished on 186 for three as the match ended in a draw.
After the match England Coach Andy Hurry praised the resilience shown by his players in securing the draw, and ending the game so strongly, after conceding a first-innings total of 446. "Over the four days we've really stretched the players from both sides," he said. "It's been highly competitive, and I think the ebbs and flows of the game have really put our boys under pressure. Australia got off so well on the first day.
"Getting over 400 on the board required us to start our first innings with some real composure and the ability to absorb pressure. We got that fantastic opening partnership of 95 and that really set up the rest of our innings, and it pleased me that we had a lot of contributions with bat and ball."

Miners, Ranchers and Cowhands
Geography and Population of the West Wagon trains left Independence, Missouri, to travel into the frontier. These trains crossed the Great Plains to get to fertile soil in Oregon and Gold in California.
Geography and Population of the West 300,000 Native Americans lived on the Great Plains and followed the buffalo herds. Railroads played a key role in settling the West. Trains carried natural resources of the West – minerals, timber, crops and cattle – to eastern markets. Trains also brought settlers from the East to live in the West.
Mining in the West 1859 – gold discovered at Pikes Peak, Colorado 1859 – Comstock Lode hit pay dirt in Nevada. This mine produced $300 million in silver and gold.
Mining in the West Virginia City, Nevada became a boomtown when its population increased from 3000 to 20,000 in 10 years. Miners came from all over the world to get rich quick.
Mining in the West Panning for gold Only large companies could afford the expensive equipment needed to use water cannons to expose gold deposits or sink mine shafts thousands of feet underground
Mining in the West When the gold and silver ran out, the people left the boomtown. The result was a ghost town.
The Rise of the Cattle Industry When railroads extended into Kansas the cattle ranchers were able to drive their herds to the railroad and ship them to markets in the east.
The Rise of the Cattle Industry Ranchers let their cattle graze on open range for several years to fatten up and then they could sell them for ten times their original price. Cowboys would round up the cattle and drive them north to the cow towns in Kansas. They could then sell them for a large profit.
The Rise of the Cattle Industry Cowboys driving cattle on the long drive from Texas to Kansas.
Vaqueros and Cowhands Vaqueros, the first cowhands, taught the American cowboy everything they needed to know about roping, riding and caring for cattle. They adapted the saddle, spurs, lariat and chaps of vaqueros. One in three cowhands were either African-American or Mexican
The "Wild West" There was no law and order early on in the fast growing towns of the West.
The "Wild" West Vigilantes were people who took the law into their own hands. They caught the criminal and punished them without a trial. The punishment was often hanging them fro the nearest tree.
End of the Long Drive There were several factors that hurt the cattle industry. They were: 1.Falling prices (from $30 to $7 a head) 2.Barbed wire fences cut off their trails to railroads and 3.Harsh winters of 1886-1887: thousands of cattle froze to death on the northern Plains.

Children who are socially withdrawn, shy, and appear to lack self-esteem are more likely than other children to be targets for bullying. Children who appear confident and strong are better able to discourage children from harassing them.

Re: What raaga is this song?
Sindhi Bhairavi with some Chrandrakauns heavy passages.
If there are just ''six tones'' in an octave [sic] then why have frets for tones that don't exist?

Press Releases
For further information about NAUH or comments on federal Medicare and Medicaid policy issues, please contact Ellen Kugler, Esq., executive director, at 703-444-0989 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Medicare Deficit-Reduction Cuts Could Be Job Killers, Hospital Group Says, November 10, 2011.
NAUH releases a study that finds that hospitals may lose as many as 87,358 direct jobs because of Medicare disproportionate share (Medicare DSH) and other Medicare spending cuts associated with implementation of the Affordable Care Act and another 46,103 hospital jobs if additional Medicare cuts currently under consideration in Congress – the elimination of Medicare bad debt reimbursement and a 60 percent cut in Medicare indirect medical education payments (Medicare IME) – are adopted.
NAUH releases a study demonstrating that cuts in future Medicare disproportionate share payments (Medicare DSH) mandated by the Affordable Care Act will cost the typical urban safety-net hospital $8.5 million in lost Medicare revenue in 2014 and more than $53 million through 2019. With more than one-half of all urban safety-net hospitals already losing money, such cuts could eventually jeopardize access to care in urban areas across the country. Cuts of this size, NAUH maintains, overestimate the degree to which health care reform will reduce the need for Medicare DSH and Medicaid DSH payments to urban safety-net hospitals.
NAUH criticizes an agreement between the Obama administration, the Senate Finance Committee, and several hospital groups to reduce federal health care spending, especially Medicare disproportionate share (Medicare DSH) and Medicaid DSH payments, to help pay for health care reform. NAUH points out that even with more people insured, urban safety-net hospitals will still need Medicare DSH and Medicaid DSH revenue to care for their many low-income patients and those who remain uninsured despite reform.
NAUH expresses its opposition to an Obama administration proposal to reduce Medicare disproportionate share (Medicare DSH) and Medicaid DSH payments to hospitals by 75 percent over the next 10 years. These payments help compensate hospitals for the inability of their low-income elderly patients to pay their Medicare co-pays and deductibles and help reduce the impact of state Medicaid programs that typically reimburse hospitals less than the cost of the care they provide to their Medicaid patients. NAUH maintains that the need for these subsidies will not disappear when reform enables many more Americans to obtain health insurance.
NAUH offers four recommendations for health care reform: 1) ensure the adequacy of Medicare and Medicaid payments to providers, including Medicare disproportionate share (Medicare DSH) and Medicaid DSH payments; 2) mandate the inclusion of private, non-profit urban safety-net hospitals in future Medicare demonstration programs that test new approaches to the delivery of integrated care; 3) continue making Medicare medical education payments to teaching hospitals and give urban safety-net hospitals priority in the distribution of new residency slots; and 4) employ appropriate risk adjustments when limiting future Medicare payments for inpatient services for patients readmitted to the hospital shortly after being discharged.

I'm working on it!! I love sewing so much, but patterns are definitely not my favorite thing. I have some problems with following directions. I have all of my life. :D
I am also reading the chronicles of Narnia. At first I didn't really know about it, but now I am on the 3rd book and I am really getting into it! I love to read. :D
I can't believe I am going to be 27 in 5 days. It blows my mind. The years are flying by. That is good and bad I guess. I can't wait to see the Alkaline Trio and get my hair cut.
I also just bought the Alkaline Trio album that just came out. I am liking it pretty good right now.
I am trying to work up the nerve to go into the tattoo shop near me and set up an appointment to get my very first tattoo! I am sort of nervous though. I don't know why I am so intimidated. I am such a baby. I am really excited though.

GF13-011NC Dragon Gundam
this wiki
The GF13-011NC Dragon Gundam is the Mobile Fighter representing Neo China in the 13th Gundam Fight. It was featured in the anime Mobile Fighter G Gundam. The unit was piloted by Sai Saici.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Developed by the space colony of Neo China, the Dragon Gundam is assigned to Sai Saici, the young heir to the martial arts traditions of the legendary Shaolin Temple. This mobile fighter is both agile and highly adaptable, able to fight in any environment from sandy deserts to the depths of the ocean. In addition to the extendable, fire-breathing Dragon Claws built into its forearms, the Dragon Gundam is armed with twelve Feilong Flags - multipurpose beam weapons which can be used to pin down enemies, and also function as both spears and protective shields. Perhaps its sneakiest weapon is the dagger-tipped queue attached to its head, a close-range weapon which has taken more than one foe by surprise.
- Feilong Flag
- White poles that can generate a variety of beam constructs. Sai mostly used them offensively by combining two flags into a long staff that could produce an energized spearhead at its tip or a beam flag to block enemy attacks. The beam flags could also be thrown around the battlefield to confuse and trap an opponent. In Super-class! Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Sai's Gundam also displays the ability to use Feilong Flags as nunchaku.
- Queue (弁髪刀, Benpatsu Tou)
- The Dragon Gundam's golden braid was tipped with a sharp blade. Like its arms, the braid was highly mobile, being able to extend great distances and spin rapidly.
- Dragon Claw
- Large golden claws mounted over the Dragon Gundam's forearms, armed with flamethrowers and crushing strength. While active, the claws shifted forward to conceal the Gundam's hands and the mecha's arms would frequently extend, giving them the appearance of giant snakes.
Ultimate Attacks
- Dragon Fire
- A jet of intense flames fired from the Dragon Claws.
- Bueikyaku (無影脚)
- A move from the school of Shaolin. The Dragon Gundam jumps high and gives a sequence of speedy kicks to the opponent.
- Houka Kouten Shuusetsuchin (宝華教典・十絶陣)
- An attack used against the GF4-001NE Mummy Gundam IV. It begins with Dragon Gundam taking hold of all of its Feilong Flags and spinning them together like a wheel before tossing them at the target, surrounding them in a circular fashion. It is then followed up and finished by a stream of Dragon Fire, the energy produced by the flags intensifying its power to a greater degree as it produces an explosive column of flame that consumes the target. The flags then return on Sai's command, completing the attack.
- Shin Ryuusei Kochouken (真・流星胡蝶剣)
- The Dragon Gundam's ultimate attack and the pinnacle of Sai's Shaolin martial arts, only accessible in Hyper Mode. After absorbing an immense amount of energy through the gem in its chest, the Dragon Gundam manifests greenish-yellow flames behind it in the shape of a swallowtail butterfly's wings. These flames vastly enhance the Gundam's capabilities, enabling it to fly and envelop itself in an intense aura that overcame the GF13-017NJII God Gundam's God Finger attack (before Domon countered by using the God Finger with the left hand). It was believed to be a suicidal technique, but Sai survived his first use of it, and it became a part of his regular arsenal.
- Graviton Hammer Ryuusei Kochouken
- A combination attack with GF13-013NR Bolt Gundam, used to defeat the Gundam Heaven's Sword. The Dragon Gundam uses the Shin Ryuusei Kochouken to land on top of an airborne target, driving it towards the ground. Once the target is in range, the Bolt Gundam uses its Graviton Hammer technique, striking the foe and binding it in the energy chain of the Bolt Gundam's flail. To finish the attack, the Dragon Gundam drives its spear into the victim's weak point, inflicting heavy damage. The technique was named in Super Robot Wars J.

- A Death Army imitation of the Dragon Gundam.
- Dragon Gundam Night Combat Type
- A dark colored version of the Dragon Gundam. There are no technical changes from the original other than the dark coloration, which allows it to blend into the dark of night.
