Descendants of Robert Adams: Generation 9
John Frederick23 Adams (JOHN22, JOSEPH HENRY21, JOHN20, JOHN19, ISRAEL18, SARAH17, ABRAHAM16, ROBERT15, ROBERT14, RICHARD13, JOHN12, JOHN11, JOHN10, THOMAS9, ROGER8, JOHN AP7, JOHN AP6, THOMAS AP5, JOHN AP4, WILLIAM AP3, JOHN AP2, JOHN AP1) was born 08 January 1853 in Boston, Essex, MA[1], and died 02 February 1926 in Haverhill, Essex, MA. He married Amie Batcheller Kelly 06 June 1876 in Haverhill, MA daughter of Amos Kelly and Elizabeth Batcheller. She was born 23 October 1855 in Haverhill, MA and died 26 February 1948 in Haverhill, Essex, MA.
Notes for John Frederick Adams:
DEATH: Records from newspaper clippings, Haverhill, MA
OBITUARY/OCCUPATION: Much of this information was sent to Gareldine Adams as Xerox copies of Haverhill, MA newspapers from Gregory Laing, librarian of the Haverhill Public Library. Harry (Henry) Adams, before his death gave Gareldine Adams information on his family, as did John Amos Adams.
PARENTS/EDUCATION: Information from notes taken in an interview with Elizabeth Rand Adams Cox in her home in 1966, and from notes given to Gareldine Adams by his wife, Amie Batcheller Kelly Adams.
Mr. Adams was born in Boston, MA, where he attended private schools. His father died when he was but 16 years old and his mother, supposedly, shortly after. At the age of 18, he came to Haverhill, MA where his father's sister lived. He resided in Haverhill, MA until his death.
He boarded with his Aunt, Mrs. J. E. Gale at "Buttonwoods" according to the Haverhill City Directory of 1872. Buttonwoods is now the home of the Haverhill Historical Society and is a museum. Mr. Adams worked as a teller in the Haverhill Savings Bank[2] until 1889 when he opened a bicycle shop. In 1891, he took over the insurance business of his Uncle, Edward F. Adams who died. He has since been connected with the insurance business, although he also had a bicycle shop. Mr. Adams was always interested in bicycles and was among the first residents of this city to own one. He became a member of the Boston Bicycle Club in 1880. He also owned one of the first automobiles in the city, a steam driven one. There is a list of Haverhill automobile owners and he is listed in 1904 as the owner of an 8hp Knox, which he kept until 1908. In 1908, he is listed as owning a 20hp Oakland.
In 1889, the family was living at 35 Highland Avenue. In 1902, the place of residence is given in the city directory as 7 Richmond Street. In 1916, it is again listed as 35 Highland Avenue. They supposedly moved to Richmond Street when the house on Highland proved to be too small for their large family.
There is an interesting anecdote in regards to the Richmond Street house, as told by the Librarian, Gregory Laing. It seems they originally built the house with pillars and porch facing the street. After a bit, Mr. Adams had a feud with a neighbor across the street, and to show his displeasure, had the house picked up and turned around so that the back door faced the street. The front door still faces the back yard. (The house was built of wood, fortunately, and not brick.) In 1997, the pillars were gone and there is now a swimming pool in the back yard. The house has been turned into a duplex.
The Poll Tax list for the year 1895 lists J. Fred Adams, age 42; in 1902, it lists Adams, J. Fred as 48 years of age and Adams, Henry S. age 25. In 1905, J. Fred is 51, Henry S. is 28 and John A. is 22. J. Fred is listed as selling Insurance and bicycles. Henry is listed as a salesman and John A. as a clerk.
Mr. Adams is buried in the Kelly family plot, Linwood Cemetery, Haverhill, MA.
Notes for Amie Batcheller Kelly:
Birth date was provided to Gareldine Adams by Amie Batcheller Kelly Adams.
DEATH: Xerox copies of her obituary in the Haverhill, MA paper are in the possession of Geraldine Adams.
Amie graduated from Tilton Seminary, Tilton, NH. She graduated from La Salle University in 1874, which was unusual for that era. She was a member of the Haverhill Historical Society. She joined the Ladies Aid Society at the age of 10 years old. She was the daughter of Amos Sawyer Kelly and Elizabeth Bowler Batcheller.

(WASHINGTON) — In a surprise move, the House of Representatives will not vote on Superstorm Sandy aid in the 112th Congress, a GOP leadership aide confirmed late Tuesday evening.
A vote to provide aid to victims affected by the storm could come later this week during the 113th Congress, leaving lawmakers to start from scratch on a resolution to the standoff.
After the House passed the "fiscal cliff" deal, members from Sandy-stricken areas on both sides of the aisle took to the floor to decry the lack of action.
"We have millions of our fellow citizens who have been badly damaged by a storm called Sandy," House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said on the House floor. "Overwhelmingly the United States Senate passed some relief. I can't remember a time when we had a very serious storm, tornado, fire, flood where we did not act. This Congress is apparently leaving town without responding to that emergency."
The Senate has already acted to provide $60.4 billion to the region. But many House Republicans outside the damage zone believe the price tag is too high and includes extraneous spending.
"I'm here tonight saying to myself for the first time that I'm not proud of the decision my team has made," said Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y. "It is the wrong decision, and I'm going to be respectful and ask that the speaker reconsider his decision. Because it's not about politics, it's about human lives."
In remarks on the House floor, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., called the decision "absolutely inexcusable, absolutely indefensible. We cannot just walk away from our responsibilities."
Members of Congress booed inside the chamber as the House adjourned near midnight. The House meets on Wednesday at 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. for legislative business, although the floor schedule is unclear.
"The people who have been damaged by Sandy…should be deeply disappointed and yes angry that this Congress would adjourn without addressing the pain of our fellow citizens," Hoyer blasted.
"I would hope this decision would be reconsidered. I would hope that we would say to those citizens: we're here for you, one country, one nation," he added.

The Oscar Nominees Have a Free Lunch Together + Pretend to Actually Like Each Other
The annual Oscar Nominees Lunch was held at the Beverly Hilton on Monday (Feb. 4), which meant free food, free booze and a 'Highlander' style fight to prove that there can be only one.
LOL JK, that's what Oscar night is for.
Nominees enjoyed a quiet meal at the event, away from the prying eyes of the press who were only allowed to accost them and yell loudly when they arrived and when they departed.
The only requirement for the event was everyone had to get together for a big class photo and hope they didn't blink.
Many of the best actor/actress nominees were in attendance, but notably absent was Daniel Day-Lewis, who was expected to attend but who came down with the flu at the last minute. Director Quentin Tarantino was also missing, being sick with the flu himself (or engaged in battle to avoid being someone's monkey, take your pick).
Also MIA: Oscar host Seth MacFarlane (who's also nominated for Best Song from his film 'Ted'), although his name was apparently mentioned anyway.
Ben Affleck received a lot of praise at the luncheon as well as 9-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis (the youngest Best Actress nominee ever), who received raucous applause when her name was announced. And despite once saying awards are stupid, even Joaquin Phoenix was said to be pretty agreeable.
At one point in the day, Wallis and her mother approached Denzel Washington for a photograph and he jokingly told them it would cost $50. When Washington figured out who she was, he asked her to mention him in her speech if she won. She said she wouldn't, which not only makes her the youngest nominee, but also the sassiest.
Academy President Hawk Koch was on hand to remind all potential winners to keep their speeches short, and we imagine him glaring at Anne Hathaway the whole time. (You can drop the breathless pretend shock, Annie H.)
The Oscar ceremony will air on Sunday, Feb. 24. After the academy sacrifices a goat to the gods of cinema, of course.

After long tenure in service to the city spanning two years as a Planning Commissioner and 16 years on City Council, Steven Morgan is entering a new chapter in local politics.
After long tenure in service to the city spanning two years as a Planning Commissioner and 16 years on City Council, Steven Morgan is entering a new chapter in local politics.
Morgan was recently elected as a board member for the Inyokern Airport's board of directors as he prepares to step down from the City Council when the new members are sworn in on Dec. 5.
In all those years working for the city, it has been about the hard effort and ability to put effort into city matters even when they were widely criticized by the public.
He has served through four terms, including two stints as Ridgecrest's mayor, has sat on virtually every council committee at one time or another and has been deeply involved with regional associations like Kern Council of Governments and the West Mojave Plan.
He is also engaged in community organizations, such as the Lion's Club, Knights of Columbus and with the Women's Shelter.
Above all this, Morgan has a full time job as a air traffic controller at China Lake NAWS.
"I've always been a person who if I'm going to make comment that things are not going the way they should be, that I'm going to become involved in the process," Morgan said.
He actively took notice of city policies following his honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy in 1989, seeing things that could be improved, and it eventually led to his decision to run for a council seat in 1994.
"It just was a natural progression for me," Morgan said.
Over the years Morgan has earned a reputation for being either straightforward and honest or blunt and angry, depending on a person's perceptions, even during the 1994 elections.
"The city engineer at the time, Ken Kelley, told me he couldn't vote for me because I always seemed too angry in the candidate forums," Morgan said.
Morgan said this has not changed in the last 18 years.
"I'm still the same hard-charging, lay it on the line, mean-what-you-say and say-what-you-mean person I was then," Morgan said.
Planning Commission, City Council, Hard work
Work and effort is something Morgan said has always been a strong aspect in his life.
"Because I impressed William Lalor, who got elected that year, he appointed me to the planning commission," Morgan said. "He said I think you are a person that will do the work."
The effort behind that earned him a reputation for putting the work in, culminating in his election in 1996.
"It's the way I'm wired," he said. "It's what I've done for 16 years and I haven't done it perfectly."
Morgan said he isn't apologetic for any of the decisions he has made along with other council members over the years that required amendments or tweaks to make them work properly.
"It is part of being a councilman," he said. "You're not making decisions on what you think is best, you're making decisions on what your perception of the general needs and wants."
One of those stumbling blocks was the enduring trash saga that consumed Ridgecrest for nearly three years, including while he was mayor from 2008 t0 2010. When Ridgecrest was slammed with penalties by the then-California Integrated Waste Management Board (today CalRecycle) for what it perceived the city as failing to meet specific state standards.
"It's unfortunate that the general public disagreed with mandatory collection, but we were under a strong arm from the state and it was what the public needed," Morgan said.
The council's decision to impose the policy drew sharp criticism from the public — including a failed recall attempt — but Morgan said the city eventually got it right with its current system and removed pressure from the state.
Other heavily criticized decisions have yielded more positive outcomes for the city.
"I think the most visible for the public would be the business park," Morgan said. "We went to DC, Harvey Rose, Duke Martin and I, and we were heavily criticized for that."
The trip, which cost $15,000, led to securing a federal grant and subsequently a matching funds grant from the state to develop the business park area on China Lake Boulevard.
"Look at what is now. It's not completed by any stretch of the imagination but it's shining example of what you can achieve if you put your heart and mind and soul to be successful," Morgan said.
Morgan has also served two terms as chairman of KernCOG and three terms as its vice chair, helped secure funding for West Ridgecrest Boulevard's reconstruction to Mahan Road in 2014, involvement with the Defense Alliance and the League of California Cities.
Council duties have meant some sacrifices for Morgan including juggling around his work and personal schedule, spending 25 minimum a week working with city business, committee meetings and other council duties.
"I have moved vacations around to do work on the city council, I have missed anniversaries, birthdays, my daughter's birthday," he said. "I've had to do things on different days and I just considered it to be part of the work that needed to be done."
Teamwork Counts
Morgan boiled everything down to teamwork, whether among the council or out in the public.
"It's not always simple, not always easy and sometimes very complicated but always remembering the ultimate goal was the success of the team," Morgan said.
People would always be there to criticize the council but he has maintained if he achieved two things throughout his service, he was content.
The first was that if he could help 51 percent of the population then he had done his job.
"The second thing is I've stayed true to saying what I mean and mean what I'm saying," Morgan said.
While some of his comments have drawn sharp criticism, he has made no apologies for it.
"There's this unspoken rule apparently where if you're a political figure you're supposed to sit back and let people beat on you to death and not say anything," he said. "Not me. I've called people out a lot and when they step up to edge of being involved and back down, I really call them out."
He said getting involvement was what garners the community's respect.
"I think that respect is earned when you actually do the work at being a part of the process," he said.
It's one of proudest memories, especially when it came to interacting with city staff over the years
"One of the sad things as an elected official is you have to work to gain the trust of the city employee," he said. "I don't think I've ever had a problem with that."
Now with a new city council coming in with fresh ideas and a fresh start, he said it was a good thing.
"I will support them just like the members of the public have supported me as I have been elected," he said.
The new council will have its challenges, he said, including ensuring the final stretch of the Walmart supercenter was complete, the widening of Downs Street and keeping an eye on the bigger picture.
Morgan in the mean time will assume his duties as a new board member on the Indian Wells Valley Airport Board of Directors in December.
"I'm going to give that my hardest work and best effort, and work with the folks to be successful with the UAS programs in Inyokern," he said. "I think that's a very neat, great fit for us."
But he will be leaving behind a legacy and foundation built on his years of hard work and overcoming challenges, even though he dismissed it as such.
"How many stay the course, fight the fight to do the best to make things right?" he said. "Those are the people that are memorable."
Morgan, however, doesn't think he will be as memorable, but is proud he has given it is all and is satisfied with that.
"If you want to call it a legacy, that's it: always working and never holding back," Morgan said.

By Victoria Lynes/Atmabir Kaur
Reposted from Atmabir's blog, Your Own Path Yoga
In August 2013, I set out with my two sons, aged 9 and 12, to SE Asia, India, Nepal then back to my homes of Australia and NZ. We were gone for an incredible, transformative 5 months.
Below is just one entry from our Travel Blog. To see more go to: www.placeswewillgo.weebly.com
We made the trip to Amritsar in the state of Punjab specifically to see one thing - the incredible Golden Temple. A Sikh gurdwara, completed in 1784, it seems that this is not on the tourist path, unlike the Taj Mahal. Admittedly it is out of the way, but for us, it was a logical stopover on our way to Himachal Pradesh and up to McLeodGanj, home of the Dalai Lama.
I have spoken a lot about heat since being here in India the past 3 weeks. Well, I now have a new benchmark for what the body can take as far as bearing the heat goes. The moment we stepped out of the airport in Amritsar and headed towards our taxi, I almost passed out. More humid here, I am not sure. But different - not the dry desert heat that we had almost become used to, this was horridly oppressive.
We made our way by beaten up taxi in the fiery afternoon sun with the AC barely sputtering any relief. We came upon detour after detour on our way to our hotel and snailed through the horridly congested and noisy streets. If there is one thing I could remove from India, it would be every single horn in every single car, rickshaw and motorbike. The sounds, which are unending, pierce into the eardrums and shatter ones nerves. (Especially if one has not done ones yoga practice that morning!)
Over an hour later, nerves frazzled, body temperature soaring, we came to a stop outside the Golden Temple complex. Our hotel must be close. Alas, I was wrong. The driver had brought us to the wrong hotel. I pointed this out, trying to keep my cool, literally and figuratively, when I caught a glimpse of it in the distance - over 500 meters away. I gave our driver a questioning look, trying not to appear exasperated. The kids were nattering constantly, like annoying bees around my head, "Mom ... Mom!! What's going on, its so hot ... I can't do this Mom. Mom!!" Their voices coupled with the deafening and constant honking and crush of people was undoing me. I was not of neutral mind.
We had been up since 4:30am to catch an early flight, that ended up being delayed by over 2 hours. We only just made our connection in Delhi. We were all totally exhausted. Jordan awoke that morning in tears, crying that he could not get up, that he wanted to sleep for "a hundred years." I had an inkling that the day ahead may be a challenging one.
Our driver began gesturing us to walk, him empty handed, us loaded down in the heat with what seemed like three times our bags actual weight. "WOULD IT NOT HURT YOU TO HELP CARRY SOMETHING!" I yelled at him silently. "Just here ... Just here!" he kept saying as he lead us down laneways and through the crush of traffic and people. It was not "just here" it was far, very far. I felt rage rise up inside of me while the kids continued to yell out their complaints to me, as if I could do something to ease the situation.
I hated India at this point. All of it. It was all pointless - the noise, the people, the smells, their ridiculous rituals and their dam heat. I wanted to yell, scream, cry ... right outside the gates of the Golden Temple. Right in the middle of the thousands of worshippers who were graciously making their way in. Calmness, peacefulness and wisdom in their eyes. And me, almost a fully fledged basket case amongst them, barely able to move another step.
But something carried me on, maybe it was Guru Ram Das, maybe Yogi Bhajan, maybe just knowing that I had no choice. After what seemed like hours, but was only really about 10 minutes, we had arrived finally at our hotel. I looked up and saw filthy windows and years of dried up pigeon poop everywhere. I asked to see our room, the one I had reserved and my heart sank. It was tiny, cramped, musty and dirty. No windows. Hot. I could not do this tonight. I asked for the best room they had, which I knew would still not be good, but it had to be better than this. I did not care how many rupees I had to pay for it. The thought crossed my mind to find another hotel, but I could not navigate the streets again. We were given their "Executive Deluxe," and this one at least had a window and was a little bigger. AC worked. I could see the tip of the Golden Temple through years of filth and pigeon poop that covered the outside window. Pigeons crashed the window constantly. This would have to do. I collapsed on the bed and the kids navigated the old TVs remote control through the static.
After a couple of hours rest, I gained some composure, got cleaned up and we all realized that we had not eaten for hours. I looked at the dusty, stained menu on the bedside table and reluctantly browsed its contents. I did not want to know where this food may originate, but the thought of going anywhere to search for a meal was too daunting. And besides, I wanted to be at the Golden Temple for sunset, just an hour away. So, I ordered some room service and hoped for the best.
The thing about India is that it never ceases to surprise. In 20 mins, a meal fit for a king arrived at our door. A five star meal in a one star hotel. Delicious Vegetable Tandoori with Paneer and the most incredible Dahl Makani I have tasted. Crispy, fresh butter Naan. We devoured our meal and set off, refreshed, to the temple.
Upon entering the Golden Temple compound, you feel the energy here immediately. Calming, beautiful, profoundly spiritual energy. True to Sikhism's inclusive nature, everyone is welcome here. The four entrances to the Holy shrine, from directions, signify that people from every walk of life are equally welcome. Proper dress and a covered head is expected. Shoes must be taken off and the feet must be washed. I have to say here, that pictures of the temple do not do it justice. It needs to be seen with naked eyes. The style is a blend of Hindu and Islamic. The golden dome is said to be gilded with 750 kg of gold and represents an inverted lotus flower - a symbol of a Sikhs aim to live a pure life.
Chanting poured out the loud speakers that surrounded the holy lake. Chants that I recognised from my study, practice and teaching of Kundalini Yoga. As opposed to other temples we have visited, this one felt familiar somehow. I felt connected. I felt energised. I felt at peace.
We arrived just as the sun was setting and the low light threw a deep glow to the temple. We made our way inside and spent some time enjoying the moving chanting that fills the space both inside and out. Hundreds of dedicated worshippers, praying, meditating and bringing offerings. I wanted to just sit smack in the middle of them and close my eyes too. I wanted to chant. I wanted to be still. However, traveling with two children, as wonderful as it is, does not always allow these luxuries of stillness and of going within. I have to get up very early in the morning to indulge in that kind of space.
We made our way to the walkways surrounding the lake and there we sat. The boys sensed that I needed some quiet, still time - and they sat patiently with me, taking it all in. They were also moved by the awe inspiring sight in front if them and were very respectful. They let people take their picture. We were the only Europeans from what I could tell. They respected my wishes to remain until dark, so we were there over two hours. I would have stayed for hours more, but to two pre-teen boys who have been dragged through temple after temple, I did not want to push my luck! My soul was satisfied. The days challenges melted away. I loved India once again.
Victoria Lynes/Atmabir: "I have to say that to teach has always brought me the greatest of pleasures. When I am teaching I feel the most connected to my truth - my "Sat Nam" - when I sit on my mat and gratefully share the joy and transformation of yoga with students from all walks of life. When I discovered Kundalini Yoga several years back, I resonated instantly with this powerful and profound practice. Having a busy life and being a mother of 2 growing boys, I was astounded at how a sense of peace, neutrality and strength quickly permeated so seamlessly into my daily life with the regular practice of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation."

TAILGATING Great food for watching the Dawgs at home or on the road
There are no recipes for "Gator Stew" but readers will find plenty of tasty ideas for tailgating in one of Starkville' most popular cookbooks.
Filled with recipes and historic tidbits from alumni and fans of the Mississippi State University Bulldogs, Bully's Best Bites remains one of the best selling cookbooks in Starkville. Compiled by the Starkville Junior Auxiliary, proceeds from the cookbook goes to support a variety of local children's programs sponsored by the organization.

1/2 cup flour and water to make paste
Brown meat lightly. Add onion and garlic. Cover and cook slowly for two hours. Stir occasionally and mash meat. Add cumin, chili powder, tomato sauce, water and salt. Cook one more hour. Stir small amount of water into 1/2 cup flour to make a paste. Add this to chili to thicken and simmer 20 more minutes. Note: 1 can of beans (Louisiana Red Beans add more spice) my be added if desired. If beans are added, you ill need to add a small can of crushed tomatoes.
And what would be better with chili than cornbread. Mark and Laurie Price of Starkville share their recipe for Mexican Cornbread.
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 egg
2 or 3 chili peppers, chopped
1 10-ounce package frozen creamed corn, thawed
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
4 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups self-rising corn meal
Mix all above ingredients together. In a black iron skillet, brown 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter. This may be done either on top of stove or in oven. Pour mixture into skillet and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
While tailgating is great in the Junction and on the road, tailgating at home has a lot of advantages.

Ed Asner surveyed the building and grounds of what used to be the American Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford Tuesday morning.
It's turf the seven-time Emmy Award winner ("The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Lou Grant," "Roots") knew well as a young actor, starting out in his career in 1959 when he performed at the since-shuttered theater on the banks of the Housatonic River and Long Island Sound.
That season he had small roles (Sampson, Bardolph and Soldier) in "The Merry Wives of Windsor, "Romeo and Juliet" and "All's Well That Ends Well." John Houseman was founding artistic director of the theater and staged "Merry Wives" and "All's Well."
"I think the inside of the theater looks damn good," he says in a phone interview after the event.
There have been several attempts to revive the property since it closed in the early '80s. After the state spent more than a decade of finding satisfactory private-public development deals to reviove the property, the state reverted the ownership of the theater to the town of Stratford.
"I'm not a man for figures but I think this 1,500-seat theater could be opened in no time if people got behind it," says Asner. " But it needs a communal spirit to sweep away a lot of the naysayers. You've got to knock over those Pygmies."
The visit also brought back some memories to Asner. "I was a chunky 180-pound actor who nobody knew and who no one knew what kind of talent he had. I must have seemed un-frail so they used me like a good piece of furniture on stage. That's how Houseman cast me, doing these small roles, and I resented it."
He jokes that it was the first time he wore "woolen tights that clung to my body. I had a sexual experience just putting them on every night."
The actors for Asner's season were an impressive bunch: Barbara Barrie, Morris Carnovsky, Richard Easton, Will Geer, Mariette Hartley, Hiram Sherman, Inga Swenson, Sada Thompson, and as an academy student, David Marguluies. Nancy Marchand who would later co-star with Asner in the TV series, "Lou Grant" was at the theater in 1958.
Asner, 83, came to Stratford following the close of Broadway's "Grace," which he co-starred with Paul Rudd and Michael Shannon. He is next set to do an episode of "Law & Order: SVU." Then he will kick off another tour of his one-man show, "FDR," about President Franklin Roosevelt. (That show played the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook in 2010.)


text: Junior OL Donnell Stanley of Latta will visit Clemson this weekend and then Alabama the next. He has not been to a Clemson game this season and is looking forward to the trip. "They were the first to offer me so that means something to me," Stanley said. "I like talking to coach (Robbie) Caldwell and coach (Dabo) Swinney so hopefully I'll get to talk to them again." He will not return for the Clemson-USC showdown and, instead, will be at Alabama for their instate clash with Auburn. "I was down there this summer and they were my third offer," he said. "I had a chance to talk to coach (Nick) Saban some and he told me he wanted me to come back for a visit. I've got some time now with Thanksgiving break,coming up, so I'm going down there." Since visiting USC for the Georgia game, Stanley returned to Columbia for the Tennessee contest and has also been to NC State. Speaking on the trip to Raleigh he said, "It was alright. they lost to Virginia but it was good other than that. I got a chance to see everything I needed to and they have a good agricultural program. I like that." Stanley has no favorites and is showing interest in all of the previously mentioned schools. He plans to attend junior days at USC and Clemson next year.

Prof. Jeff McCall '76 Discusses Sports Movies with USA Today
May 15, 2014
Movies with a sports theme have struggled lately, notes a USA Today story previewing the opening of Million Dollar Arm. Last month's Draft Day had a middling showing, writes Scott Bowles, and upcoming releases include When the Game Stands Tall and McFarland.
The piece includes comments from Jeff McCall, professor of communication at DePauw University and author of Viewer Discretion Advised: Taking Control of Mass Media Influences.
"Sports have their own dramas, heroes, great plays and crazy endings," the professor tells the newspaper. "It is really difficult for Hollywood to top great sports reality with fictionalized sports movies. Sports fans would rather watch real games. Movie lovers would rather watch real movies. To make it on the screen, a sports story needs a human element that goes beyond sports so it can appeal to a wider range of people. That's why Rudy and The Blind Side were successful."
The complete article -- headlined "Sports movies rarely go the distance at the box office" -- can be read at USA Today's website.
A former journalist, Jeffrey M. McCall is a 1976 graduate of DePauw and serves as faculty adviser to student radio station WGRE. The professor is regularly called upon to discuss media matters in major publications and has been quoted in stories published by more than 100 newspapers, including a citation this week in California's Orange County Register. His op-ed column on Barbara Walters was published in several newspapers over the weekend.

I have my own tumblr and often I'll see pictures crop up on my dash of some skinny white model wearing a Native American warbonnet as some hipster fashion statement. They aren't. The warbonnets actually mean something, and a little research shows exactly what they were used for, and surprisingly, that there weren't that many tribes that used the commonly seen warbonnet (that many hipsters decide to wear).
This first part of this post is a rant. My specific bitch is about white hipsters using traditional (or what appears to be traditionaal) Lakota Sioux warbonnets as fashion statements, and some even bemoaning that they aren't Native American. Or worse, when called out on their appropriation, claim they have (most often) Cherokee ancestry. Which is bullshit, because there are more than one hundred tribes in North America, including Plains Indians, Pacific Coast Indians, Atlantic Coast Indians, Mexican Indians, and Gulf Indians. Many of those tribes were wiped out of existence thanks to the push to settle the west by both American colonists and British colonists in British North America, or what is now known as Canada. Large numbers of Dakota First Nation People were killed in this push. Look up Wounded Knee sometime. Many Dakota moved north, eventually settling in British North America, such as the Whitecap Dakota First Nation.
Now the second part of this post. Time to educate some people about the Native American headdresses that they so seeming like to use as fashion statements. As well as those that might want to "dress up" as a Native American for Halloween. The thing that a lot of people don't understand, these symbols, such as the warbonnet, are very sacred to many tribes.
You can find complete information here, but I'll describe a good deal in this post.
This image is the most commonly known headdress, which is actually a Lakota Sioux war bonnet. In truth, most First Nation tribes never used headdresses like this. While these may be the best known headdresses, they are not the most commonly used and they weren't the only style of headdress. Headdresses varied depending on the tribe or location.
These warbonnets were the most commonly seen headdresses in westerns both on television and the silver screen. However, these bonnets were only used by a dozen or so tribes in the Great Plains, such as the Sioux, Crow, Blackfeet, Cheyenne and Plains Cree.
These warbonnets were ceremonial regalia worn by chiefs and warriors, much like the regalia worn by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip is considered traditional for the British Monarchy. Also important, only men wore these warbonnets, though it is reported that some women in Plains tribes did go to war, and there were even some female chiefs, but they never wore these bonnets. Sometimes men would wear these warbonnets into battle, but most often they wore what is called a roach bonnet.
Roach bonnets were worn by warriors and dancers and like warbonnets, the porcupine hair roach is traditionally men's headwear, not worn even by female warriors. These roach bonnets also varied from tribe to tribe, and in many tribes roaches were worn into battle, while more formal tribal headdresses like warbonnets, otter-fur turbans or gustowah caps, were worn to ceremonial events. Other tribes wore roach bonnets primarily as dance regalia or sports costume. While some men in different tribes would wear a roach bonnet, others might not and they were not seen as spirituality meaningful as warbonnets, though a boy earning the right to wear a roach for the first time was an important ceremony in some tribes.
The page includes many other headdresses, including buffalo bonnets, otter-fur turbans, Seminole cloth turbans and Iroquois gustoweh caps, and includes tribal headdresses for women.
At the FAQ at the bottom of the page it mentions places to buy headdresses and where to go to make your own, but there was something important there as well.
If you are not Native American but are just trying to make a headdress for an art project, we recommend making a beaded headband, since headbands do not have the same sacred meaning of many other Indian headdresses and do not require you to understand complex cultural traditions to create one properly. The book North American Indian Beadwork Patterns includes a nice pattern for beading a Native American headband.

The sun-drenched lawn at Wofford College was transformed into a magical Fantasyland for the enjoyment of 400 disadvantaged children on Saturday.
The sun-drenched lawn at Wofford College was transformed into a magical Fantasyland for the enjoyment of 400 disadvantaged children on Saturday.
Children raced from sword fighting lessons with the daring street rat, "Aladdin," to story time with "Beauty and the Beast" heroine and bookworm, Belle. The more romantically inclined indulged in ballroom dancing with Cinderella and Prince Charming, while others investigated Alice's Wonderland with the Mad Hatter or painted ornate symbols with Moulin, the Chinese debutante turned warrior.
Elaborate costumes and decorations allowed participants to be consumed by one fairy tale after another.
"It's kind of letting them let their hair down and play and enjoy magic," said Lakesha McCutchen, who accompanied her daughter's Boys & Girls Club to the event.
Shawna Bynum brought her two children. She said she was worried when she realized the event was geared to a slightly younger age group, but they jumped in and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
"Anytime you have something positive for youth, it can only be magical," Bynum said.
Organizer Kulsoom Haq, a Wofford sophomore, said she was overwhelmed by the success of the event. As a member of Wofford's Impact scholarship group, she was inspired by her love of Disney World to use her community service event to indulge disadvantaged children in a day of suspended reality.
"It helps kids open up to their dreams and passions," she said. "If they have passions, they're going to work harder to achieve them."
Making the impossible possible
When she was young, Haq remembers visiting Disney World and believing anything was possible.
As a college student, she volunteers at Children Shelter of the Upstate and said she has encountered children who are faced with terrible situations beyond their control. Others have loving families who lack the financial means for an expensive journey to Disney.
"There's no way these kids would ever go, and I just thought that wasn't fair," she said.
Haq relied on volunteers to bring her vision to life, and teamed up with the Wofford service group Twin Towers. Setting up for Fantasyland started at 6:30 a.m. Children started arriving at 11 a.m., and the place didn't clear out until 4 p.m.
It was a long day, but Shaakira Brown, a Wofford freshman who assumed the role of Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog, said the hours were well worth the reward.
"I have to find the right word for it. There's something genuine about seeing a kid smile," she said.
"You don't think about being fatigued. Every time you see a kid smile at you, it warms you."

buyers remorse
March 27, 2011, 04:47:40 PM »
Ive narrowed down my choices to two schools. Both are well respected, and in cities where i know I will be happy living and working for many decades. theo nly hang up is that at one school my lsat is at the 25% and my gpa is slightly below the 75%, while at the other one my lsat is at the 75%. and my gpa is exactly the 75%( this school is offering me a nice scholarship, but no grant money, and the other school which at sticker is slightly less money is offering me grant money- which makes the price roughly the same( minus 5k/year). Are there any coorelation between gpa + Lsat and law school success? Would i have more sucess at the school where i am at the 75%'s than the other one? I have been out of school for 3 years, and I really like both schools. Both place well in their respective cities, and i like both cities a lot- and know i would be happier there ( COL is very similar). If I go to the school where my lsat is low, am i setting myself up for failure? or am I looking too much into this? Thanks for your help!

I guess the competition might be lower, but law school grades are highly unpredictable. No matter where you go everyone thinks they will be in the top 10% the first week. Students at any ABA schools are smart and hard working enough to do well on the exams. Realistically scoring 3-5 more points on the LSAT, which lets be honest some choices are nothing more than guesses is not much of an indicator for law school success. GPA measurements are somewhat misleading as well. A person that gets a 3.0 in Molecular Biology is probably working harder than someone that got a 4.0 in Basket Weaving.
Realistically law school grades are somewhat of a crapshoot no matter where you go. It is a 3 hour exam and just forgetting one issue out of 16 on an essay can be the difference between being in the top 10% or top 25%. The curve is very strict and one MC problem can boost or drop you so there really is no way to determine how successful you will be at any given school. Whether you go to the lower or higher ranked school there is a 50% chance you will be in bottom half of the class and a 50% chance you will be in the top half. Again, it is just a crap shoot and almost every student at an ABA school is pretty smart and hard working. Therefore, it will be very difficult to determine how well you will perform at any school.
If they are roughly equal schools just go to the cheaper school. Check out the tuition rates and consider any scholarship money. It looks one of them has offered you money, but be wary of the conditions on these. Generally a school will require a 3.0 GPA to keep your scholarship. Anyone that was offered a scholarship to an ABA approved school had a pretty easy time obtaining a 3.0 in undergrad and generally assume law school will be the same. This is NOT the case, my school for example only allowed 35% of 1st year students to achieve a 3.0. So there was a 65% chance I would lose it for years 2 and 3. Thankfully I didn't, but the conditions of the scholarship are always something to be wary about.

LSAT and UGPA correlate with first year law school success. After that, people start to figure things out so the correlation drops into the unreliable zone.
If you really prepare for law school and get the right advice for how to tackle law school, I think you could erase that advantage. IMO, you should go to the school you like more. Don't worry about your competitiveness so much, you will do fine.
The fact that you have framed your question as you have, tells me that you will quickly figure out how to succeed. The correlation is statistal--which means it predicts the success of a random student. You are not random, you are out there educating yourself and preparing for law school. I was random, I did nothing to prepare. I had average numbers for my school and no scholarship. Nevertheless, I did much better than virtually all of the scholarship students. So, even if you were random, it still wouldn't be set in stone.

still cant make up my mind. Im going to wait for the final numbers- and visit both schools again ( i am considering putting a deposit down at both to give myself more time to make a decision). thanks for the responses. I put a poll up so those that dont want to reply can voice their opinions. If you would like to, write a short summary of why you voted that way. THANKS!

By S. Amjad Hussein
"Ten years ago a bunch of terrorists flew commercial airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and triggered a process that continues to extract a heavy toll in the form of blood and treasure. On that fateful day, thousands of innocent people, including a few hundred Muslims, died. As the dust settled, American Muslims found themselves besieged, vulnerable, and unwanted in this country even though they had nothing to do with al-Qaeda or 9/11 atrocities.
As American citizens, we Muslims are increasingly subjected to unprecedented scrutiny when we travel by air, our bank accounts can be probed at will, and our conversations are recorded and our telephones are tapped for the flimsiest of reasons. A Muslim name, a foreign accent, or a native dress rings alarm bells in the minds of our fellow citizens.
A wave of Islamophobia is sweeping our country that demonizes all Muslims. We are portrayed as unpatriotic, potential terrorists, and fifth columnists.
In the past 10 years things have changed for the worst. Soon after Sept. 11, 2001, two-thirds of American people had a good impression of Islam. Over the years, however, those numbers have been eroding.
Last year, at the height of the Park51 (the proposed Islamic Cultural Center two blocks from Ground Zero) controversy, the unfavorable rating rose to 55 percent, according to a poll by the Economist magazine. Another poll, released by Time magazine in August, 2010, showed that 43 percent of Americans hold unfavorable views of Muslims and 25 percent think U.S. Muslims are not patriotic.
The inevitable question is: Why?
The reasons are many. The most important and foremost is the inflammatory and incendiary rhetoric emanating from some Protestant pulpits, political demagogues, and right-wing conservative organizations and media. They work in concert to malign and tar not only the terrorists but also everyone who is a Muslim.
Clothed in patriotic tones and armed with out-of-context passages from the Qur'an and selected history, these purveyors of hate demonize the entire edifice of religion and more than 1 billion Muslims.
Given the psychological vulnerability of most Americans in the post-9/11 world, this paranoid narrative becomes convincing. Take for example a DVD titled Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West that was widely distributed free of charge a few years ago.
Prior to the 2008 presidential elections, Clarion Fund, an obscure tax-exempt organization registered in New York, distributed the inflammatory video by mass mailing and as newspaper advertisement supplements. It takes selected clips of anti-West diatribe by some Arab speakers and scenes of violence from Arab media and intersperses them with footage from the Nazi era. The inference is clear.
And then there was the controversy about building an Islamic Cultural Center two blocks from Ground Zero.
Not many people realized that a functioning Islamic Cultural Center is on the site already. Given the sensitivity of people about Ground Zero, one could understand the opposition.
But putting up a fierce fight to stop a mosque construction in rural Tennessee?
Last year in Murfreesboro, Tenn., the local Muslim community purchased 15 acres to build an Islamic center. Local people filed a lawsuit to stop the construction. The bogey of sharia law was brought up and it was claimed that Islam is not a religion and thus does not have constitutional protection.
It was apparent that most of the people who had brought the lawsuit had no contact with local Muslims. In the sordid court spectacle, one could hear the echoes of the Jim Crow era. Eventually the court dismissed the case and allowed the construction to proceed. The victory, however, was hollow because no construction company has been willing to take on the project.
The hatred against Islam and Muslims spewed by some of the American clergy, politicians, and bloggers has had effect not only here in the United States but also beyond our borders.
The massacre of 77 people, mostly children and young adult, at the hands of a cold-blooded zealot in Norway a few months ago is one such example. According to the lengthy manifesto posted on the Internet by the alleged killer, Anders Behring Breivik, he was influenced by the incendiary anti-Muslim rhetoric emanating from Web sites such as jihadwatch.com and the political and religious right wing in this country.
American history is replete with periods when religious and ethnic minorities suffered at the hands of a self-righteous majority. In the 19th century, Protestant preachers led mobs to attack Catholics.
At one time or another, Jews, Italians, Irish, Polish, and Japanese had to endure such bigotry. Even today, Catholic bashing is rather common on the Internet.
Michele Bachmann, a contender for the Republican nomination for president in 2012, attends a church that openly says the Pope is the anti-christ.
As an aside, while more than half of U.S. population has a negative view of Muslims, individually as religious groups they have no love lost among them. According to the Time magazine poll I quoted above, 29 percent of Americans hold negative views of Mormons, 17 percent of Catholics, 13 percent of Jews, and 13 percent of Protestants.
I have no doubt sanity will prevail in the end. The latter-day Know-Nothing Nativist Party and its torch bearers, the William Boykins, Sean Hannitys, Glenn Becks, Pat Robertsons, and the like, are but a transient phenomenon, just as the firebrand preachers of yore who led mobs to attack Catholics and other minorities were. History will remember them not for spreading Christian love but for poisoning the well.
Muslims are here to stay, just as others before them. They have added something special and precious to the mosaic of this great country. To forcefully tear that piece off, as some people would like to do, does nothing but deface the entire tapestry we call America the beautiful."

Made this over the course of a couple days. Had a battle in it and it was annoying to reach down to the bottom and not bump something. Long story short, terrible. Did a BrikWars version of the movie The Raid. Was fun because it was BrikWars, but also not fun having reach down in.
Took apart that 8 storey monstrosity and made something better... and this is part of a battle we had in it.
Blank slate.
My friend's army coming to kick my ass. A mix of yellows and peaches. We did 20 minifigs total, 1 hero, 3 officers.
Yeah, jammed my entire force into a room and put myself in a gauntlet. I got slaughtered sending my troops out single file. Oh well.
The highlight of the battle was my hero. He rolled a three critical fails in a row and then finally a two and then died. Pathetic. All his red shirts long dead as well. Probably one of my worst battles. I think he may have had like 10-12 minifigs left. I need to take a good above view, the one I took turned out blurry. Will upload one in a day or two, possibly three.

I tried installing Avaire tile on the face of a whirlpool deck because the customer wanted the tile to match their floor tile.
Save yourself and just order the matching tile without the tray.I know it's available most places that sell Avaire products.
If you do try it you wont be able to install it in wet areas such as a shower or tub surround, but a polyurethane constuction adhesive similar to PL premium bonds well to the tray, don't use thinset.
Good Luck!!

Vertical install
Author: Marcus S

Has anyone tried to install on vertical surfaces such as bathroom surrounds?
I realize you would need thinset or adhesive but the reduction in effort on spacing seems to be a huge gain.
Not sure how the plastic tray spacer stuff works if you are trying adhere to a vertical surface.

Instead of making a personal thread, ask for manga recommendations here.
Some simple guidelines to follow:
- Posts should be only about:
1. asking for a recommendation from fellow members
2. recommending manga to a particular member who had requested earlier.
Be specific and clear:
1. Do include what genres and types of manga you prefer to read.
2. If you aren't sure what you want to read, but hope for recommendations that are similar to certain manga series that you have read, include a list of that manga in your post.
1. Quote part of the requester's post, so they'll get a notification, and so that it's clear which request you are replying to.
2. List a few titles which match the request, and if they are especially suited to a particular part of the request, specify that. Don't just info dump all of your favorites; be selective. (We've kept the favorites thread for that!)
Recommend me a manga! I love everything, shonen, shoujo, if it's a good story-- I'll read it. I just feel the need to read more manga.
You see that space next to me on the couch? That's for you~
dengeki daisy if you havent read it!
Missions of Love & A Devil and Her Love Song are two good shoujo series.
It's been awhile since I've read anything sort of Fairy tale(not tail), like.
I want something that is short and sweet but with a unique plot to it.
If you want an idea, look up Necromancer. It's nice and short, but unique and quite interesting.
I don't know how to deal with people.
I'm kind of interested in something with a large cast of characters and or involves magic. I don't know many manga, but going by this list of anime and what I asked for, which ones would I be interested in?
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
A Certain Scientific Railgun
il sole penetra le illusioni ~ Day Break Illusion
Fairy Tail
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Okami-san and Her Seven Companions
It's been fun, everyone, but I'm afraid I must leave. Adios~
Go to batoto and look for "Tower of God", it's a very nice story with a large cast of characters with their own goals/problems/relationships that make up the story and make it a very good read. There's a bit of action/magic in there if you're interested? It's actually a webcomic but it can be read like a western comicstrip from left-right.
D. Gray-man is a classic for any anime/manga fan out there, it has a very interesting story with a large cast and magic that is based around religion (in a way it's like A certain magical Index, except that is has a much darker theme to it). So if you are interested in something like that, it's worth a try!
Last thing I can come up with on the top of my head is a manhwa (read left-right) named Witch Hunter. This is a very good read but is usually overlooked by most, it has a loveable cast and nice action in it. As you can guess from the obvious enough title, the story is about a person who hunts witches while searching for his sister who happens to be one.
Hope you like them as much as I did.
I don't know how to deal with people.
any one got any good yuri mangas to recomend?
Avatar is from MDG game
Vagabond, definitely. The first Samurai Manga I have ever owned and it kicks your ass so hard, you would come fucking buckets!
However, a Manga I don't reccommend is Rahxephon, the story is full of shit and there is fanservice compared to the original Anime series.
@An9el, have you tried 'Girlfriends' yet? that's a very awesome yuri manga that has a good story to it and has a lot of chapters for it. I'm a bit of a fan of the artist who did that and has made a number of other instant-fave yuri mangas.
Everything else I can think of though is Touhou related and I'm not sure if you could relate to any of the story because of that.
I don't know how to deal with people.
Hey guys i've recently started my manga collection and would like to increase its size xD
My main genre's are those that involve "Superpowers" or "Energy based powers".
Sorry i cant suggest anything but as you can read I am new to the game xD.
Anyone know a must read manga before dying? i appreciate the help thanks.
Not everything that counts canb counted nor everything that can b counted counts
the story im keeping up with right now is blue exorcist. Its a supernatural shonen i guess with deamons and stuff. And a semi - highschool/academy setting.
(EDIT - removed images from illegal hosting sites - MakotoKamui)
I've recently bought the first volume but I have got round to reading it yet, thanks for the suggestion.

If you have not read Hunter X Hunter yet you are missing out. The best shonen of forever in my opinion. If shonen is not you're thing then read Berserk it is possibly the greatest manga of all time.
Lil wayne is bad and you should feel bad

Abatacept injection is used alone or together with other medicines to reduce the signs and symptoms of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Abatacept helps keep joint damage from getting worse after other medicines have been used and did not work well.
Abatacept injection is also used alone or together with methotrexate in children 6 years of age and older for moderate to severe juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of abatacept injection in children with JIA. However, safety and efficacy have not been established in children younger than 6 years of age.
Older adults
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of abatacept injection in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have cancer and serious infections, which may require caution in patients receiving abatacept injection.
|Pregnancy Category
|All Trimesters
|Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are receiving this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Other interactions
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other medical problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this medicine. This medicine is given as a shot under your skin or into a vein.
If this medicine is given through a vein in your arm, it must be injected by your doctor slowly and your IV tube will need to stay in place for 30 minutes. You will receive this medicine again at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after your first dose and then every 4 weeks after.
Abatacept may be also given as a shot under your skin. It may sometimes be given at home to patients who do not need to be in the hospital. If you or your child are using this medicine at home, your doctor or nurse will teach you how to prepare and inject the medicine. Be sure that you understand exactly how to use the medicine.
This medicine comes with patient instructions. Read and follow the instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
If you use this medicine at home, you will be shown the body areas where this shot can be given. Use a different body area each time you give yourself or your child a shot. Keep track of where you give each shot to make sure you rotate body areas. This will help prevent skin problems.
This medicine is available in 3 forms: a vial (glass container), a prefilled syringe, or ClickJect™ autoinjector. The prefilled syringe and ClickJect™ autoinjector are the dosage forms you can use at home.
If the medicine in the prefilled syringe or ClickJect™ autoinjector has changed color, or if you see particles in it, do not use it.
Throw away used needles in a hard, closed container that the needles cannot poke through. Keep this container away from children and pets.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
Missed dose
This medicine needs to be given on a fixed schedule. If you miss a dose or forget to use your medicine, call your doctor or pharmacist for instructions.
Store in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
It is very important that your doctor check the progress of you or your child at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Your body's ability to fight infection may be reduced while you are being treated with abatacept. Check with your doctor right away if you or your child has any of the following symptoms while using this medicine: fever, chills, cough or hoarseness, flu-like symptoms, lower back or side pain, painful or difficult urination, or unusual tiredness or weakness.
This medicine may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Check with your doctor right away if you or your child has a rash, itching, swelling of the face, tongue, and throat, trouble with breathing, lightheadedness or fainting, or chest pain after you receive the medicine.
You or your child will need to have a skin test for tuberculosis before you start using this medicine. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your home has ever had a positive reaction to a tuberculosis skin test.
While you are being treated with abatacept injection or within 3 months after using it, do not have any immunizations (vaccines) without your doctor's approval. Your child's vaccines need to be current before he or she begins receiving abatacept injection. Be sure to ask your child's doctor if you have any questions about this.
This medicine contains maltose (a type of sugar) which may affect blood sugar levels. If you or your child have diabetes and you notice a change in the results of your blood sugar tests or if you have any questions, check with your doctor. Your doctor may need you to use a different test for your blood sugar levels.
Do not take other medicines for arthritis unless you talk to your doctor. This includes adalimumab (Humira®), anakinra (Kineret®), etanercept (Enbrel®), infliximab (Remicade®), or rituximab (Rituxan®). Using any of these together with this medicine may increase your chance of having serious side effects.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor or nurse immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects.

Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.

FLORENCE, Ariz. (March 15, 2010) - Senior Sinead O'Sullivan (Galway, Ireland) fired a first round score of 73 to tie for seventh on the individual leaderboard, as the ETSU women's golf team opened play in the Northern Migration Invitational Monday at the Poston Butte Golf Club.
O'Sullivan's play helped the Bucs to a solid first round showing, as the team posted a score of 300 and finds itself tied for fourth in the 19-team field. ETSU is just two strokes off the pace of first place Texas-San Antonio, and the team finished the day ahead of teams from Iowa State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas State and Texas Tech.
Individually, O'Sullivan is five strokes back of Idaho's Kayla Mortellaro, who finished the day with a 68. Other ETSU results included a pair of 75s from sophomore Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) and senior Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia), which leaves them both tied for 18th. Meanwhile, sophomore Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain) finished the day tied for 38th.
The Bucs will continue play in the Northern Migration Invitational on Tuesday, followed by third and final round action on Wednesday. For more on ETSU women's golf throughout the spring season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's golf link.

WASHINGTON - In the largest US arms deal ever, the administration of US President Barack Obama is ready to notify Congress of plans to offer advanced aircraft to Saudi Arabia worth up to 60 billion dollars, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The newspaper said the administration was also in talks with the kingdom about potential naval and missile-defense upgrades that could be worth tens of billions of dollars more.
The administration sees the sale as part of a broader policy aimed at shoring up Arab allies against Iran, the report said.
The 60 billion dollars in fighter jets and helicopters is the top-line amount requested by the Saudis, even though the kingdom is likely to commit initially to buying only about half that amount, the paper said.
In its notification to Congress, expected to be submitted this week or next, the administration will authorize the Saudis to buy as many as 84 new F-15 fighters, upgrade 70 more, and purchase three types of helicopters -- 70 Apaches, 72 Black Hawks and 36 Little Birds, The Journal noted, citing unnamed officials.
The notification will set off a congressional review. Lawmakers could push for changes, try to impose conditions or block the deal altogether, though that is not expected, the paper said.
Earlier media reports said that to assuage Israel's concerns, the Obama administration has decided not to offer Saudi Arabia so-called standoff systems, which are advanced long-range weapons that can be attached to F-15s for use in offensive operations against land- and sea-based targets.

Hit: 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1' madness
The penultimate installment of the Stephenie Meyer books had "Twi-hards" flocking to the box office to see Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's Edward and Bella get hitched and, well, consummate their marriage. Photos of the film's highly anticipated bedroom scene leaked early, causing a kerfuffle at Summit Entertainment but piquing far more interest in the film. The steamy vampire sex scene didn't make the final cut in theaters, but that didn't stop fans from flocking to the movies, helping maintain the film's No. 1 status at the box office for three consecutive weeks.

Lance Armstrong admitted a lot of wrongdoing during his 90-minute interview with Oprah Winfrey tonight, but he did almost nothing to win back the sympathy of the world. In fact, he said things that are bound to offend people deeply.
She began with yes and no questions about different kinds of doping he had done as he won seven Tour de France bicycle races, and in answering them he quickly admitted to a broad range of illegal and unethical drug use. How could he have so "brazenly and defiantly" lied about what he had done, Oprah then asked. "This story was so perfect for so long," he coolly said, ". . . behind that picture and behind that story there's momentum. . . . It just gets going, and I lost myself in that. . . and I was used to controlling everything in my life." It was as if to say he was a victim of circumstance, and as the interview went on he portrayed himself as someone who had had no choice but to cheat, because everyone else did, and, that done, he had no choice but to lie and cover up and furiously attack his accusers.
Oprah asked about reports that he had forced his teammates to do drugs too. Absolutely not, he responded. He insisted that what they did was entirely up to them. "The culture was what it was," he said, and "It was a competitive time. We were all grown men. We all made our choices."
Why did he attack and even sue people who told the truth about what he had done? "Because it's the second time in my life when I can't control the outcome." In other words, he felt he had been trapped by his drug use, just as he had been trapped by cancer.
It was all very easy, he admitted. He never even had any doubt he'd win the Tour de France: "The winning was almost phoned in." And, most amazingly, he doesn't believe he really cheated anyway. He said cheating is when you do something to gain an unfair advantage; he "didn't do it to gain an advantage on a foe. I saw it as a level playing field." Every serious contender in the Tour de France used drugs; Armstrong was, in effect, just playing by the unofficial rules.
Perhaps his ugliest moment came in discussing Betsy Andreu, whose husband, Frankie, was part of his team. She had testified that she had heard Armstrong admit to doctors in 1996 that he had used performance enhancing drugs. He had attacked her viciously, and tonight when she came up, he chuckled and said, "I did call her crazy. . . . I called her crazy, I called her a bitch, but I never called her fat." That line left him smiling.
He said, with a spark of more somber emotion, that he wished he could go back to last year, when the United States Anti-Doping Agency finally charged him with using illicit drugs. He said he wished that instead of his customary vehement denials, he had said, "Give me three days, let me call some people, let me call my family, mother, sponsors, foundation" and tell them he was going to confess everything.
But that was not in his nature. Lance Armstrong was and is a born fighter through and through. Life was and apparently still is about playing to win. He thinks the same fierce spirit that helped him defeat cancer helped him win seven Tours de France. How, in fact, could that not be true? And he is fighting now. He admitted guilt tonight, but even when he said "I will spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologize to people," he was combative. He followed that with a startling assertion that "I am happier today than I was then, for a whole host of reasons."
Oprah, amazed, said, even now, as you confess so much wrongdoing, you are happier than through your years on top of the world? He answered, "I said I'm happier today, not yesterday."
Lance Armstrong is out doing battle. That's who he is. But his battling is unlikely to win back the love of millions that he once enjoyed. He has done too much damage to too many, and he shows too little real compunction for that.
Tomorrow, however, Oprah will ask him about his family, his children, his parents. Perhaps that may reveal a different side of him.
