There is no such thing as positivity in the real world. Science completely ruins everything positive in reality you can think of.
i wish i could do that, if u trained ur senses to this level, y not ur mind. am sure u can do it to ur mind too. if u could manage to perfect it , most of ur problem will go away.
The only places I can truly be calm are in Multimedia Design or in a Lucid Dream, not during Meditation itself. While in there, I am in my own reality, and know I am free from the limitations of science and reality and can be free for a while. But when I return to the real world, I get very depressed and negative again, and am often in a bad mood because I have to return.
very funny video. but in real life. thats going to be a problem.
You see why I am mostly a pessimist. I don't have any real positive feelings. Just a hyped like emotion that is like I am on some type of drug.
u know y people tend too bully other people?, bcoz they got bullied too... but they r too week to see through it, so they tend to think bulling other people make them feel better. the problem starts within the family, lack of good guidance and care lead to this behavior. i see u r one of the victim, so sorry to hear it. try to over come it seeing through every thing. there is always a reason to everything happening in this world, instead of thinking its not going to change, do what u can do to change it.... i know its easy to say, but its worth a shot.
Not every bully is like that. Some bullies attempt to do this for power.
Saying there is a reason for things happening...I don't know about that, my cousin was murdered, my 2 really good friends died of illnesses at a really young age (one was only 16, and I was 16), leaving me very bitter and angry in both instances. With my teenage friend, I ended up getting into very bitter verbal and physical fights with his bipolar mother who was verbal and physical right back (her emotions were very bitter and angry, my emotional mood swings were very bitter and anger, and we clashed like 2 angry female Tigresses with claws and teeth out. Her husband and my mother backed far away), and since we both have never forgiven each other for fighting like tigers.
True, survival of the fittest is the way of nature. but think it in this way. hard time make us strong. if everyone lives an easy life that will make them weak. this is y life throws us in difficult time. we need to push on to stay alive.
in this world there r lots of suicides. i know everyone knows y. bcoz they r too weak to fight back in life, they got an easy life till then. but wen the life throw u through some tough time to grow up, they collapse. instead of thinking "it is the end", try to think "this makes us strong". if u take this way through every negative situation, u will succeed to survive. To me this is what meant by "Survival of the fittest."
Tell that to my father, who social works the people who are mentally scarred and people who have become mentally ill from such experiences. Such people are so scarred they may never be the same again, or they become bitter with life.
They abducted her at gunpoint, taking her to a small, half-rotten shack in the middle of the woods where, for the next two weeks, they brutally and constantly tortured, raped, and sodomized her. They ripped out all of her teeth and cut off her breasts, cauterizing the wounds with a clothes iron. One accidentally called the other by his first name, and so, becoming afraid of identification, they decided to kill her. She tried several times to escape, and upon her final attempt, when they found her in the woods, they accidentally split her skull open with a logging chain. And as she lay twitching on the ground, blood and brain pumping out of a fissure in her helmet of calcium, they decided she was too damaged, and they simply shot her to death where she lay squirming in the leaves and mud.
They dragged her back to the hut and, in an attempt to prevent identification, they cut off her hands and feet then set her on fire.
Well … about a week or two later the police dragged whatever was left of her out of the swamp. A deacon (whose piety luckily was not so idiotic as to conform to the Catholic belief that all confessions should stay in the booth and beyond the reach of law-enforcement ears) had listened to the confession of the younger of the two men, who had been driven mad by the guilt and horror at what he had done. The deacon, wisely putting humanity before doctrine, tipped off the police, and they arrested the younger man who subsequently turned in his "partner." v
WOW. Oh my gosh. No wonder you are so bitter and angry with people all the time. I feel bad for you for losing your cousin.
I feel you losing your cousin. My 3 year old cousin was murdered as well last winter, and his 5 year old brother had to watch his 3 year old brother get murdered right in front of him (crushed to death). The sociopath even tried to flee the scene after murdering my cousin, but 2 big guys saw what happened and tried to kill him for it, and would have if the cops wouldn't have showed up. Guy got a light sentence on what he did too due to his sleazy lawyers (1.5 years in prison), which wasn't enough justice on my family for killing my cousin. Much of my college tuition last winter had to go in paying for the funeral because his family couldn't afford to pay for it (which in the end I got refunded on that year since I had that shock and was out for the season).
Distrust, unfairness, anger, darkness, and negativity, this is why we probably both see the world in this way, and why we both see that in others
There is something to be discerned from the fact that, at the moment, I want nothing more than to kill those two men (who were spared death-row and are presently serving two lifetimes each in prison). Injustice and simple wrong-ness are the most difficult human emotions to grapple with. They consume us to the point of utter insanity and torment and intellectual misery. We like things to make sense. We simply do. Our minds are mechanisms that love order and systematic, rightful processes. When something like this happens, we are not able to comprehend it. The world just doesn't seem to make any sense. It's a cruel, mindless, anti-magnanimous machine whose murderous cogs we are trapped within like rats in a trap. Some people like to comfort themselves by saying things like, "Everything happens for a reason."
You and me both. You should have seen the animation I did of the sociopath in my animation class after he murdered my cousin (although my teacher said I couldn't kill him). I beat him up, had him hit by a train, stabbed by spikes, electrocuted, set on fire (and had everything hanging off of him externally burned off), then I sewed a pig nose, pig ears, and a pig tail on him, forcing him to live life as a pig with third degree burns all over his body. Everyone in my class was throwing up on how...graphic my animation was and said I was taking it too seriously. And I still haven't forgiven him, and continue to kill and torture him in animations, the Sims, and within my Lucid Dreams in the cruelest fashions.
I would, however, like to reaffirm the crucial difference between mental disorder and realism (often misinterpreted as pessimism). I think in nesgirl's case, she is plagued by mental disorder. Reasoning with her and giving her such a feel-good philosophy as "everything happens for a reason, to make us stronger" will not help her or get anyone anywhere. She needs psychiatric treatment, just as a man with a broken leg needs a physician.
Being a pessimist is the real thing. It means a person sees things in a very negative way, and if you don't believe me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR47fNGWDuc And according to this video, you CANNOT reason with a pessimist.
Don't tell me what I need or what I don't. I don't need others bossing me around telling me what I need or what I don't. This is also why I hide my injuries from others, because I don't want to be bossed around.

SKC tops Crew with injury-time goal
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Benny Feilhaber scored in the 93rd minute, and Sporting Kansas City earned its fourth consecutive road win by beating the Columbus Crew 2-1 on Wednesday night.
An uncontested Feilhaber rifled a shot from just outside the 18-yard box that hit the crossbar and went in. Igor Juliao started the sequence with a pass slightly behind Jacob Peterson, who settled it for a trailing Feilhaber.
The win moved Sporting KC into first place in the MLS Eastern Conference.
- Highlights: MLS Goals of the Week
- Power Rankings:MLS top week 18 teams
C.J. Sapong's header gave Sporting KC (9-5-5) a 1-0 first half lead. But SKC was reduced to 10 men in the 55th minute when Aurelien Collin received a red card after a challenge with Adam Bedell.
Columbus (4-7-8) tied it when Chad Barson lofted a cross inside the 6-yard box that deflected off Juliao's shoulder for an own goal in the 69th minute.
The Crew's Wil Trapp was sent off after receiving yellow cards in the 53rd and 89th minutes.

A man suspected in several north side robberies struck again tonight.
Around 7 p.m., Chicago police say the armed robber walked into the "Convenient" convenience store in the 3700 block of N. Harlem Drive and took an undisclosed amount of money.
He is believed to be the same robber who held up a 7-11 store in the 2700 block of N. Harlem Dr. twice in the last month. In each holdup, the robber walked in, pulled out a gun, and demanded cash.
Police say the robber has worn a blue hooded sweatshirt with a red Spider-Man ski mask in each robbery.
The robber is described as a white man in his 20's, standing between 5-foot-8 an 5-foot-11 inches tall. If you know anything you're asked to call police.

Men in Black III
A decade-long gap between sequels could leave a franchise stale, but in the case of Men in Black 3, it's the launch pad for an unexpectedly great blockbuster. The kooky antics of Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) don't stray far from their 1997 and 2002 adventures, but without a bombardment of follow-ups to keep the series in mind, the wonderfully weird sensibilities of Men in Black feel fresh, Smith's natural charisma once again on full display. Barry Sonnenfeld returns for the threequel, another space alien romp with a time travel twist which turns out to be Pandora's Box for the director's deranged imagination.
As time passed in the real world, so did it for the timeline in the world of Men in Black. Picking up ten years after MIB 2, J and K are continuing to protect the Earth from alien threats and enforce the law on those who live incognito. While dealing with their own personal issues K is at his all-time crabbiest, for seemingly no reason the suited duo encounter an old enemy, Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement), a prickly assassin seeking revenge on K, who blew his arm off back in the '60s. Their street fight is more of a warning; Boris' real plan is to head back in time to save his arm and kill off K. He's successful, prompting J to take his own leap through the time-space continuum and team up with a younger K (Josh Brolin) to put an end to Boris plans for world domination.
Men in Black 3 is the Will Smith show. Splitting his time between the brick personalities of Jones and Brolin's K, Smith struts his stuff with all the fast-talking comedic style that made him a star in yesteryears. In present day, he's still the laid back, normal guy in a world of oddities J raises an eyebrow as new head honcho O (Emma Thompson) delivers a eulogy in a screeching alien tongue, but coming up with real world explanations for flying saucer crashes comes a little easier. But back in 1969, he's an even bigger fish out water. Surprisingly, director Barry Sonnenfeld and writer Etan Cohen dabble in the inherent issues that would spring up if a black gentlemen decked out in a slick suit paraded around New York in the late '60s. A star of Smith's caliber may stray away from that type of racy humor, but the hook of Men in Black 3 is the actor's readiness for anything. He turns J's jokey anachronisms into genuine laughs and doesn't mind letting the special effect artists stretch him into an unrecognizable Twizzler for the movie's epic time jump sequence.
Unlike other summer blockbusters, Men in Black 3 is light on the action, Sonnenfeld utilizing his effects budget and dazzling creature work (by the legendary Rick Baker) to push the comedy forward. J's fight with an oversized extraterrestrial fish won't keep you on the edge of your seat, but his slapstick escape and the marine animal's eventual demise are genuinely amusing. Sonnenfeld carries over the twisted sensibilities he displayed in small screen work like Pushing Daisies, favoring bizarre banter and elaborating on the kookiness of the alien underworld than battle scenes. MIB3's chase scene is passable, but the movie in its prime when Smith is sparring with Brolin and newcomer Michael Stuhlbarg, who steals the show as a being capable of seeing the future. His twitchy character keeps Smith and the audience on their toes.
Men in Black 3 digs up nostalgia I wasn't aware I had. Smith's the golden boy of summer and even with modern ingenuity keeping it fresh Sonnenfeld uses the mandatory 3D to full and fun effect there's an element to the film that feels plucked from another era. The movie is economical and slight, with plenty of lapses in logic that will provoke head scratching on the walk out of the theater, but it's also perfectly executed. After ten years of cinematic neutralizing, the folks behind Men in Black haven't forgotten what made the first movie work so well. After al these years, Smith continues to make the goofy plot, wild spectacle, and crazed alien antics look good.

For Dow, it's go big or go home
The Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous, and the chainsaw carving art form itself has evolved over the years.Many of the carvers convening in downtown Ridgway were once humble beginners, creating mushrooms and bears from random logs. The mantra of late, however, seems to be "Go big or go home," as carvers continuously try to get better and better, and take on projects of seemingly epic proportions.A prime example is Scott Dow, owner of Animalistic Chainsaw Carving Studio along U.S. Route 6 in Corry.Dow arrived in Ridgway with a head-turning masterpiece: a large dinosaur greeting passersby along Main Street in the Country Squirrel Outfitters parking lot."I bought a couple of pine trees and they were laid out in my parking lot [in Corry]," Dow said. "I saw how big they were and one of them looked like a dinosaur head to me, so that was it, plus I loved dinosaurs when I was a kid."

Federal Laws on Missing Juveniles
- Missing juveniles are classified as voluntary, abducted by parent, abducted by stranger, or cause of disappearance unknown.
- A Runaway child is considered to be a voluntary missing juvenile.
- A runaway child is always 'at risk" and demands prompt attention by law enforcement. Therefore, Police are empowered under the law to take a runaway child into "protective custody," but the child CANNOT be placed into a lockdown facility or juvenile detention center. Being a runaway is NOT A CRIME – only a "status offense."
- When police find a runaway child, they can take the child home or to the nearest runaway youth shelter. The runaway shelter in Clark County is WESTCARE YOUTH CENTER at 5659 Duncan Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89130 (702-385-2020 ext. 238) or contact the hotline 702-385-3332 (will accept collect calls).
- Police CANNOT make a "forced entry' into a private home to recover a runaway child, unless the child is in danger or life-threatening situation. Police, however, can assist parents when a runaway is uncooperative or there is a risk of violence.
- If your child is missing, visit the MISSING CHILDREN section.
National Child Search Assistance Act of 1990: This act includes mandates that eliminate waiting periods before taking a missing child report, including family abduction cases; requires immediate entry of information into the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) on appropriate missing child cases.
Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act: First drafted in 1968, the UCCJA has now been adopted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The UCCJA determines when a state has jurisdiction to make a custody order and provides procedures for interstate enforcement of order in custody conflicts.
Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act: This act requires authorities of every state to enforce and not modify orders made by the state court exercising proper jurisdiction. It also authorizes the use of the Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution Act (UFAP) warrant and the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) in family abductions.
Missing Children Act of 1982: Among other provisions, this legislation ensures that complete descriptions of missing children can be entered into the National Crime Information Center's computer system, even if the abductor has not been charged with a crime.
Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act: "The UCCJEA is a uniform State law that was approved in 1997 by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) to replace its 1968 Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (the UCCJA). NCCUSL drafts and proposes laws in areas where it believes uniformity is important, but the laws become effective only upon adoption by State Legislatures. As of July 2001, 26 jurisdictions had adopted the UCCJEA and it had been introduced in 2000-01 in the legislatures of 10 others." (Juvenile Justice Bulletin December 2001)

Inked Girls: Samantha Chappell
Myself in a sentence: I am a driven, goal oriented young woman. I will be getting off active duty service the first week of December. I've been active duty in the Army for 3 years and reserve a little longer. I enlisted at the age of 17 and will be turning 21 soon. I work towards what I want, and nothing will get in my way or achieving my goals. I have 11 tattoos thus far and do intend to get more. Thank you!
Occupation: Army
Hometown: Holly Springs, NC
The design and themes of my tattoos: The theme of my tattoos is me. They all represent something I've done, someone I love or just in general- me.
More specifics about my tattoo: cross with a heart and dog tags- 17, blue moon tattoo
Triquetra with a heart and cherry blossoms-17, Jason's mad tattery.
SIMBA with Hakuna matata- 18, Excalibur tattoo
Cherry blossoms with live, laugh, love- 18, Excalibur tattoo
I believe- 18, Excalibur tattoo
831- 18, Excalibur tattoo
Dream catcher- 19, South Korea
Dandelion- 19, South Korea
For those I love, I will sacrifice with ribbons- 19, aces & 8s
I'm a warrior with shield and cherry blossoms- 20, flesh tones
Until we meet again tattoo with clouds and birds and ribbon- 20, flesh tones
My favorite tattoo and the story behind it: My favorite tattoo would probably be the one on my ankle; it states, " for those I love, I will sacrifice" and it's got the support ribbon for the troops and the breast cancer awareness ribbon. It stands for I will defend everything and everyone with my military service but It's also for my grandma who had breast and bone cancer. She didn't win the fight, she passed away last month but I hope others have the same willingness to fight!
My next tattoo: I want to continue down my arm. I have an absolute obsession with Disney and eventually want to have a disney sleeve. I need on to SIMBA who sits on my wrist!

[Verse 1: Iye]
Really hope this ain't what I'm made for, clocking dollars and pesos
Tryna get passed that Range Rove, Lexus truck, Porsche Cayenne S's
Mercedes SLS's
I asked the Lord forgive me, swear to you I learned my lesson
Tryna build more with my pop, he can see through my depression
Tryna be more how I was when I was an adolescent
Tryna see more through my specs without all the speculations
Tryna open up my mind without all the concentration
Tryna rest without defeat so when it's time to rest in peace
I be good and I can fly without these boulders on my feet
Yea, Swifa brought the vibe this here is way more than a beat
And them words you talking way more than just air between your teeth
Keep the live and you might find your teeth is way down at your feet
And I ain't violent but you try me and we'll have to wait and see, wait and see
Now I'm riding 'round in my hood, I'm probably up to some good
I hope my people love it, rep Columbus 'til I die
If I approach you like a person, don't judge me with yo mind
Cause everything I got ain't always on my person all the time
Could've died when I got that phone call, cops kicked in that front door
And I'm a thousand miles away, shit I guess that goes to say
All the shit we did for paper, it don't just go away
Making money like birthday, every day we cutting cake
Like I always tell my brothers, if I'mma ride for it I'mma die for it
Blood, sweat, and I'mma cry for it, and I'mma make these dreams real life for us
[Verse 2: Jerreau]
Yea, APC Gang, put your hood up like it's cold out
My niggas rep the same thing, 21 your team, it's a blowout
Who ordered more champagne, what's your bottle count, double digits
And I can't even complain, if I did nobody would listen
Addition by subtraction, balance and moderation
If you don't like me, then don't dap me, if we can make money, get at me
What you eat don't make me shit, unless you buying it off of me
Sidebar, I really don't know too many people really happy
I just got done doing a photo shoot, I got a call from my ma
She said don't turn on the news, your lil' cousin just died
They shot that boy 11 times, damn them ? fucked they life
This stress is strife, this can't be life, the type of shit my day be like
My debit deficits got me stressing shit, feel Obama like
But I'm still blowing money like it's something in Benjamin's eye
It's hundreds everywhere, they everywhere
But fuck the radius, I want the whole pie
I, Bankreau back like I'm out of the red
But it's black on black, Jordan 6 Infrareds
Never claim to have wings on or halo overhead
I was born in sin, I'm already half dead
That's why I'm always tryna get it in, she told me don't force it
I'm Jerreau but I was born rich
And give them what they need I'm too generous
And I don't need all of that, you can have some of this
If I cook shouldn't have to do the dishes
When the check come don't be surprised, yours missing
Why don't they just let a brother in
A nigga tryna win
Tryna take care of my kid
[?] For the shit that I did
[Verse 3: Jay Swifa]
So I say what I wanna say, live how I wanna live
Act how I wanna act, my niggas got my back
Say what you live for, just roll up your indo
Iye rolling shotty, let me roll down the window
You got a gift though, stay on your shit
Why all y'all hands out, I ain't got nothing to give though
Just mess with kinfolk on the way to the thrift store
Talking 'bout where you been? Nigga I been gone
Out of my mind boy, go take ya Tylenol
Took a shot of love with it, missing some alcohol
Life is so up and down, gotta find what is real
"Y'all niggas so ill, why y'all ain't got a deal"
Everywhere I go now, shaking hands, ?
Take a shot, a couple rounds, me and my niggas tryna get down
And they tell me that my time is now
Something telling me "Ay Jay Swifa, slow it down"
This is the 11th song in Fly U´s Super Pack 2 (2013)

"The evidence shows that as a matter of deliberate policy the applicant [TAC] has not received money from drug companies either directly or indirectly and it has implemented mechanisms to preclude any such eventuality." (p. 14)
"The TAC has strenuously campaigned and litigated against pharmaceutical companies with substantial success. It is difficult to understand why a front organisation would display such hostility towards its principal." (p. 12)
"The suggestion that the TAC destabilises democracy is incapable of fair-minded support. The tactics employed by the TAC may be somewhat boisterous and, at least in one instance, abusive towards the Minister of Health. Their conduct, however, does not threaten the security of the state and few, if any, right-thinking South Africans would see it in that light." (p. 10)
--- Quoted from Judgment in Treatment Action Campaign v. Matthias Rath, Dr Rath Health Foundation and Traditional Healers' Organisation; Cape of Good Hope Provincial Division; Case No: 2807/05; 3 March 2006
The TAC welcomes the unanimous judgment by a full bench of the Cape High Court today in our matter against Matthias Rath. We are disappointed that it took over eight months to deliver it, because this was an urgent request for a temporary interdict.
The Cape High Court has interdicted Matthias Rath, his South African foundation and the Traditional Healers' Organisation from making various statements alleging an improper connection between TAC and the pharmaceutical industry, pending the final determination of an action TAC has launched for a final interdict, an apology and for damages.
The respondents may not claim that TAC
• is a front for the pharmaceutical industry, a "Trojan horse" or "running dog" of that industry,
• is funded by the pharmaceutical industry,
• receives funds from pharmaceutical front organisations in return for promoting antiretroviral medicines and
• targets poor communities as a market for the drug industry in order to promote the interests of pharmaceutical companies.
This judgment affirms TAC's integrity and independence. It also clarifies the attitudes of Matthias Rath and his agents to evidence:
"The respondents' allegations with regard to the pharmaceutical industry and the TAC are premised upon conjecture and, it seems, are underpinned by a conspiracy involving several players. It is an unlikely scenario and no evidence has been disclosed which supports the respondents' position on the TAC's funding. The TAC, on the other hand, has made full disclosure of its income and their source. ... The respondents' allegations are not supported on the available evidence and the contrary appears to be more likely." (p. 12)
Matthias Rath, as well as his agents David Rasnick, Sam Mhlongo and Anthony Brink, are a spent political force: discredited, dishonourable and dishonest.
TAC will continue with its litigation against the Minister of Health for failing to act to stop Rath's illegal activities. These activities include conducting unauthorised experiments on people, distributing unregistered medicines and advertising unproven treatments for AIDS. The Minister of Health's support of Rath and other charlatans is based on pseudo-science and undermines the implementation of HIV prevention and treatment interventions. Worst of all, it endangers lives.

Going to College
Lesson 2 of 16
Objective: SWBAT: • Share what they know and want to know about college • Read about colleges and universities • Use fact sheets to answer questions about these colleges
Big Idea: Why is it important to go to college? What advice do older students have for applying to college? Students start to familiarize themselves with applying and attending college. This will serve as a frame for the work they will do throughout the unit.
Do Now
- I have decided to incorporate a lot of the skills in this unit with going to college
- I have found that my students have a TON of questions about college and are highly engaged with learning about various aspects of college
- I created this lesson to serve as a college introduction to hook students and get them thinking about what they have to do for the next 6 years in order to get into and pay for the college of their choice. So it may seem like students aren't doing a lot of math in this lesson, and that is correct. But I am setting up a foundation that we will build on throughout this unit and throughout the year.
See my Do Now in my Strategy folder that explains my beginning of class routines.
Often, I create do nows that have problems that connect to the task that students will be working on that day. Here, I want students to think about what they already know about college and what questions they have.
I ask students to share out their knowledge and questions. This helps to inform me what students already know and what they are interested in. I can use this information to adapt do nows and lesson topics for me students. Some students have pre-conceived notions about themselves and college. For example, I've heard anything from "I'm going to _____", to "I'm not going to college", or "It's too expensive". It is really valuable for me to get to understand what students already think so that I can address these ideas in my instruction throughout this unit.
Resources (2)
Degrees and Dollars
I introduce the vocabulary words and give a brief explanation of the image. I explain the difference between an associate's degree, bachelor's degree, master's degree, professional degree, and doctoral degree. I read over the two questions. Then I have students participate in a Think Write Pair Share. Students are engaging with MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
There is a lot going on with this image, and I expect some students to be confused. I want students to understand what is being measured and compared. I want students to notice that the more education people have, the higher their weekly earnings are overall. Also, I want students to notice that people with a higher degree are less likely to be unemployed.

- There is a high school in my school's network. At the end of the last school year, I asked a teacher I knew at the high school to have current high school seniors make short video clips (between 1-2 minutes) about their experiences applying to college. The big questions I asked them to focus on were: 1) How did you narrow done what schools you wanted to apply to? 2) Did you receive scholarships/grants/loans? 3) If you could apply to colleges all over again, would you do anything differently?
- I have not attached the videos from the students because I do not have their permission to post them. I would suggest that you find a contact at a local high school to help connect you with high school seniors or students who have graduated. Students will connect most with students from similar backgrounds.
I show students the four videos and have them jot down notes on the advice that student have to give. At the end of the videos, we come together as a class to share out the advice and other questions students have. I will not have time to address all of these questions, but it is great to hear what students are wondering about.

College and University Facts
- I have created the College and University Fact Sheets based on student interests, geography, diversity of student population, and cost. I have tried to present students with a range of colleges and universities. I think students will be most engaged with colleges if you create a packet that reflects the interests of your students.
- College Search is the main website I used to create the College and University Fact Sheets.
Together we go over the vocabulary. Some students may be familiar with some of the terms, but it is helpful to review them. I explain that students are going to get time to learn about some colleges and universities. I have students preview the questions. I have volunteers pass out the fact sheets and students get to work.
As students work, I walk around and monitor student progress. I want students to take time to compare and contrast the colleges. Students will be surprised by costs and financial aid packages. Students will observe vast differences in student population across the colleges. This is usually when I can tell students are excited about learning and talking about colleges. I hear a lot of "Oh, I want to go here" or "Wow, that's expensive" or "My cousin/sister/etc goes there".
I begin the Closure by asking students to turn to their observations and questions. I have students share out what they noticed. My students noticed the diversity or lack thereof and had a lot of questions about it. Students also had a lot of observations about financial aid and wanted to know more about how you can pay for college. Another popular question was, "What is a non-resident alien? Is it an alien??" I address as many questions as I can.
With about five minutes left, I ask students to share out why they think it is important to go to college. I comment that I noticed students wanting to attend a wide variety of colleges. I ask them to respond to the question, "What do you need to accomplish in high school to get accepted to this college?" This is a question that is so important! A lot of students have this vague idea of going to college, but very few of them have spent time thinking about what it actually takes to get there! Talking about grades, extra-curricular activities, and teacher recommendations are a great way to get students to breakdown what it will take to get into college into more manageable and concrete steps.
It is guaranteed that I do not have time to hear/address all of the questions students have. I introduce students to the Project Parking Lot as a way to share questions that we didn't have time for in class. Instead of a ticket to go, I collect students answer to questions 1-3 so that I can review them.

Advice: He is divorced; does that mean our marriage won't last?
Dear Carolyn:
My amazing, wonderful fiance made what he has referred to as "a very bad decision" and got married at 20, while he was still in college. He was divorced by 23, and not amicably. We met and began dating a few years later, and he was very open about it from the get-go. Throughout our four-year relationship, the fact that he was briefly married has barely registered as a blip on my radar; people make mistakes.
But suddenly, now that we are engaged and beginning to plan our wedding, I can't seem to stop dwelling on the fact that he once publicly promised to spend his life with someone else. It has never bothered me until now. I don't doubt his commitment to me, or that this is a well-thought-out decision. I just wish I could get over this odd, unexpected "second place" feeling. I know I need to take a step back and recognize that it's water under the bridge. Any advice on how to do so would be really appreciated!
-- The Second Wife
Are you able to step into your past a bit, to rummage around for an experience that can help inform your understanding of your fiance? And banish that "second place" notion for good?
Specifically, I'm thinking of a past relationship in which life with that person was the only future you could envision. I don't see a huge difference between "publicly promised" and privately felt, except perhaps in the timing (say, if you were still in high school when you felt that way) or degree of impulse control.
Either way, your life was this person ... until it wasn't.
Now your life is with your fiance, and you're both fully in this moment -- despite your past loves and his.
Or, because of them. This depends on what he learned from it all, but I could argue his nuptial oops enables him to be more present for you than he might have been without one. Couples so often struggle with ideas of what marriage "should" be, and there's a decent chance his experience beat out of him such a rigid notion of bliss.
Re: Second Wife:
I was in a very similar situation with my now husband. The best thing I did was just say out loud, "It's really weird that you've done this before with someone else." The resulting discussion really made me understand the difference in where he was then and where he is now. Your fiance already seems very open, so give him the chance to make you feel better about it.
-- Anonymous
Sounds good to me, thanks.
Re: "Second place":
When I look back on the relationships I had at 20 and at 25, I thank my lucky stars I wasn't asked and didn't agree to marry either of these men. At the time, I would have said yes and would have probably ended up exactly where your fiance is.
-- Anonymous 2
Thanks. I believe many people, especially those who lived with a boyfriend or girlfriend, have these paperless marriages in their pasts.

Symposium to honor Tilghman
Steven Schultz
Princeton NJ -- In the 24 years that she ran a biology lab, Shirley Tilghman had a tradition of sending off departing members with a gathering and dinner.
Now, as Tilghman prepares to close her lab to devote all her time to the presidency of Princeton, it is her lab's turn to do the same for her.
Scientists who worked and received training in Tilghman's lab will gather on Friday, April 19, for a symposium in honor of their mentor. It is titled "Exploring Genes to Genomes: The Scientific Legacy of Shirley Caldwell Tilghman." About 70 former graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and technical staff members will reflect on the influence she has had both on their own scientific careers and on the field of biology.
"It's going to be really exciting to be all together at one time," said Laurie Jo Kurihara, who has been a postdoctoral researcher in the lab since 1995 and helped organize the event.
Participants will represent Tilghman's lab through all her scientific and career development, starting from 1978 when she first opened her own lab as an assistant professor in the Temple University School of Medicine. Before coming to Princeton in 1986, Tilghman ran a lab at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia.
The nine people scheduled to speak at the symposium are scientists whose work is still focused on mouse development and gene regulation, which have been Tilghman's main areas of interest, said Kurihara. Among them will be one of Tilghman's mentors, Phillip Leder, with whom she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institutes of Health and who is now at the Harvard University School of Medicine.
The speakers will give scientific descriptions of their current work and reflect on how it has been influenced by their time in Tilghman's lab, said Kurihara. The talks, which will begin at 8:45 a.m. in 003 Lewis Thomas Lab, will be open to the public, although seating will be limited.
Following the symposium, the lab members will gather for a private reunion dinner. It will be an opportunity, said Kurihara, for lab members to meet others whose work preceded or followed their own and to put the scientific developments in a personal context.
In some cases, people working in the lab became intimately familiar with the work and scientific papers of their predecessors without ever having met them. "Questions that were active in the lab 10 and 15 years ago are, in some aspect, still being studied," she said.
Planning for the symposium began shortly after Tilghman was appointed president last May. "Right away we thought, 'What a fantastic opportunity,' but for us in the lab it also meant the end of an era," said Kurihara.
The other organizers of the event are Tamara Caspary, a
former graduate student now at the Sloan Kettering
Institute, and Robert Ingram, who is Tilghman's lab manager
and has worked with her for all 24 years. The symposium is
sponsored and supported by the Department of Molecular

Looking for the best performance and playability without spending the extra money on both irons and hybrids? Then look no further than Callaway's RAZR X Irons/Hybrid Combo sets.
Other irons are made with one out of three benefits — Distance, Forgiveness or Feel — in mind, but they don't focus on a combination that will result in hitting more greens. Golfers should be able to make great shots from everywhere on the course, especially if a lower score is the goal. RAZR Technology is the advancement that golfers are looking for. It is the next generation iron that incorporates the distance and forgiveness expected in a wide sole iron with the turf interaction and playability normally only found in a thin sole iron.
If you would like to customize this Combo Set, please call

Chemistry clicks as girls make statement with 17-point victory
After his girls scored only two points in the first quarter against Centura on Saturday, Swede basketball coach Chris Lecher thought he might be in for another long game.Gothenburg was 0-for-6 shooting in the first eight minutes, putting only a pair of free throws from junior Regan Geiken on the board and trailing 12-2 at the end of one quarter.
Then the light bulb went on.
"I can't really explain it," Lecher said of a noticeable turnaround. "I told the girls I still believed in them and they needed to believe in themselves."
Somehow, some way, the switch was flipped and the Swedes clawed their way back into the game, eventually dominating the Centurians for a 61-44 victory.
"I think it was just a matter of them finally seeing things that have been there all season," the coach said of his team. "We've had the open girls all along but too often the girl with the ball at the time didn't see it."
Gothenburg's comeback didn't happen all at once.
The girls made steady progress through the second period, closing the gap to a 21-19 deficit at halftime.
Lecher said he implemented a little more motion in the offense but really hadn't changed much of the game plan from the first 11 games of the season.
The Swedes started the second half strong with an 8-0 run before Centura got on the board with a three-pointer at the 3:32 mark.
With seven points in the third quarter by senior Brittyn Munster and six from classmate Jacey Wiggins, the Swedes built a 40-29 advantage that kept Cenutra's girls frustrated.
In the fourth quarter, that aggravation translated into fouls that sent the Swedes to the free throw line 18 times in the period.
Four Centura players fouled out as the Swedes made 11 free throws in the frame and finished 22-of-35 for the game.
"We're shooting free throws well right now," Lecher said. "When you win by 17 points and go 22-of-35 from the line, that's huge."
Also making a big impact was double-digit scoring from three players. Geiken finished with a game-high 19 points, 10 of which came in the fourth quarter, along with 11 rebounds.
Munster added 16 and Wiggins chipped in 13.
"We had been having only one girl in double figures," Lecher said. "I keep telling the girls if we could get more consistent scoring out of more than one girl, that makes us difficult to defend and we'd win some ball games."
The Swedes, now 4-8 on the season, are in the midst of a grueling stretch of five games in eight days.
They will finish off the tough run hosting Chase County on Friday after having traveled to Cozad Thursday evening.
Lecher said Cozad (3-7) is an improved team and the Haymakers always give Gothenburg their best game.
At 3-9, Chase County has struggled but always gives good effort.
"We have to maintain our confidence and believe in our team," Lecher said. "If we keep the momentum going, we've got a definite shot at winning every game. We just have to put together a full four quarters of basketball."
Thursday's varsity game at Cozad is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with Friday's home contest at 6 p.m.

is hunting for his pants
Paul Merrill was born sometime in the early 1970's with a desperate, psychopathic need to entertain people. When he was five, Paul memorized the "Elvis Aloha from Hawaii" album and sang it in its entirety to his family. He was roundly booed and shunned from the dinner table for two months. In high school, things got worse. Paul and his childhood chum Rafael Calonzo wrote and performed comedy shows for their school. After each performance, they were severely beaten by girls from the special education class. Fearing for his life, Paul decided to concentrate on his writing for a while. He spent most of this time eating massive amounts of pork products and playing "NBA Live '94" on his Sega Genesis, but somehow found time to write several screenplays and scripts for videogames, including the award-winning "Backyard Skateboarding". With a newfound confidence, Paul returned to the stage, performing in the 2003 Seattle Fringe Festival. The Festival immediately went bankrupt. Paul spent the next year weeping, but soon stumbled upon the sordid world of stand-up comedy, which embraced him like a prostate exam. SInce 2005, Paul has performed with the likes of Emo Philips, Tig Notaro, Steve Agee, Martha Kelly, Brent Weinbach and Humpty Hump from Digital Underground. Paul's work has appeared in SLAM magazine and ESPN.com. He's also written scripts for dozens of best-selling video games, including "Power Rangers Mystic Force", "That's So Raven" and the official strategy guide for "Nintendogs". Seriously.

Freddie Mac reported a record annual profit of $48.7 billion for 2013 on Thursday, powered by a strong rebound in U.S. home prices and a series of legal and accounting benefits that reversed earlier losses.
Freddie will pay $10.4 billion to the U.S. Treasury after it posted an $8.6 billion fourth-quarter profit, the ninth-straight quarter in which the company has been profitable. The bulk of those gains were due to either one-time benefits or to home-price gains that are likely to moderate....

Juliane Zeidler, IUCN CEC Chair, was a panellist at the session on "Communication for Sustainable Development: Biodiversity Days, the Climate Change and Land Degradation Agendas" . She also faciitated a side event on civil society and land management.
Panel session on communicating biodiversity
The panel included Namibia's Minister of Environment and Tourism Uahekua Herung and sustainable development communication specialists like CEC Steering Committee member David Ainsworth from the CBD. Panellists discussed experiences and challenges in raising awareness on environmental issues.
Minister Herung described biodiversity and climate change as high priority areas within the government's development agenda, and highlighted Namibia's participation in International Biodiversity Day. Other panellists said that messages need to:
- be tailored for different audiences and with different partners;
- connect with happiness and encourage moral behavior; and
- be based on better strategies for leveraging public participation.
Panellists discussed several on-the-ground communication projects in Namibia, including "Yes," which engaged students in conjunction with International Biodiversity Day. In closing, one panelist welcomed partnerships with GEO Magazine and activities taking place in association with International Biodiversity Day. A supplement to GEO Magazine on biodiversity and climate change was also launched, followed by a reception. Read Juliane's presentation here >>
Side event on sustainable land management
In her capacity of Chair of the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication, Juliane Zeidler also facilitated a side event on 18 September: 'Better Land use, Better Future for all: Partnering with Civil society to enhance Sustainable Land Management (SLM) in Sub-Saharan Africa'
This event was the opportunity to launch a 3 year project aimed at building the capacity of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to engage with SLM policy processes, as well as provide a platform to profile the multi-faceted approaches partners are using to tackle the drivers of land degradation and address the challenges faced by CSOs and communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to engage in key SLM policy processes.
The project partners OSISA, ENDA and the UNDP Equator Initiative will thus speak the practical challenges they face as well as some of the most pressing questions that need to be tacked in order to achieve the goal of a 'Land Degradation Neutral World'.

PHILLIPSBURG, N.J. -- He's inspired by Stevie Wonder, and his favorite song is "I believe I can fly."
But others are inspired by him.
All you have to do is see 10-year-old Jahmir Wallace in concert to know why.
Inside Green Street Elementary School in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, it's time for the fifth grade winter concert.
"I can't wait to see it today," said school nurse, Melissa Lilly.
Administrators are excited to see all 40 students, they also know the hard work it took for 10-year-old Jahmir Wallace to play the trumpet.
"My older sister used to play the piano," added Wallace. "So I thought maybe I should try an instrument. I thought maybe I could try and figure out new things."
"Everybody who knew him said if Jahmir wants to play the trumpet," added music teacher, Desiree Kratzer, "we want him to play the trumpet."
Wallace was born without any arms.
He does everything with his feet, including playing the trumpet -- something he has wanted to do since the third grade. He still remembers his first note, four months ago.
"I kind of felt excited," said Wallace. "I kind of felt like, oh man this is kind of comfortable and it kind of felt like this might be the one for me."
Administrators and employees of a local music store helped make a special stand to hold the horn and Jahmir took it from there.
"To see how he moves his toes like we move our fingers," said Raffaele LaForgia, principal of Green Street Elementary. "It's amazing."
Everyone that knows Jahmir says he wants to be treated like every other student. But Jahmir knows what it took to give him this opportunity, and how important his teacher Desiree Kratzer is.
"Very important because if it wasn't for her I would never know what the trumpet was," added Wallace.
His favorite song in the concert is "Go tell Aunt Rhodie."
He also has a special message for anyone watching.
"Anybody out there that would like to try an instrument, go ahead and try it," said Wallace. "You never know, if you like it, you like it, if you don't, you don't. Keep on trying."
With encouraging words like that, people know Jahmir Wallace will be inspiring many others for years to come.

Aside from a lot of rain and some branches down, the Town of Niagara and Wheatfield were relatively unscathed by Hurricane Sandy.
The supervisors of the two towns issued the following statements:
In Wheatfield, Supervisor Bob Cliffe said:
"Thank goodness, most of Niagara County and Wheatfield dodged the worst that Hurricane Sandy could have given us. There were a couple of localized power outages, but not the major problems, which we saw in the New York City and New Jersey areas.
"My thanks to our sewer and highway crews who were out helping others during the worst of the storm: job well done.
"The chipper will be out as soon as we can get it out to start removing the numerous branches knocked down by this storm. It is not likely that we'll be able to get to every pile this week. Please be patient and the highway crews will get to you.
"In the meantime, I suggest you take action now to handle any emergencies which may yet come this fall or winter. Have on hand enough food and water for your whole family, a good flashlight and extra batteries for each person, candles with dry matches, even extra diapers for your child. No matter what comes your way, you'll be prepared."
In Town of Niagara, Supervisor Steve Richards said:
"We were very fortunate to escape the full fury of Hurricane Sandy and my prayers and thoughts are with the ones on the East Coast who weren't as lucky as we were.
"With the advance warning given on the potential path of the storm, the town took many steps to be one step ahead of it. Police Chief James Suitor and his police officers, Highway Superintendent Robert Herman and his crew and Water/Sewer Superintendent Edward Adamczyk and his crew are all to be commended on a job well done. Town Clerk Sylvia Virtuoso and her office, Roberta and Beverly in the water and sewer department offices, did a great job in fielding questions and alerting the crews of any problems arising from the storm. In fact, each and every employee is to be commended; they all did a fantastic job.
"As we all know, living in Western New York, you just never know what Mother Nature will throw your way, and being properly prepared is half the battle."

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A Maryland woman who survived a plunge off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge after a crash says she decided she didn't want to die and swam to safety.
Morgan Lake, 22, of Sunderland was on her way to visit friends and relatives in Philadelphia on Friday when her car was hit by a tractor trailer, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority Police. The car teetered on the wall for a time and then fell for what Lake said "felt like eternity."
Once it landed in the bay, 40 feet below the bridge, water rushed into the car and Lake said she thought she was drowning.
"Then I felt I didn't want to drown. I didn't want to go out that way," she said. "The longest part was under the water because I had the time to think I was going to die."
Lake said that once she told herself that she could save her own life, she relaxed, unbuckled her seatbelt and swam out. She pushed off the car for momentum and rose to the surface and took a breath.
She swam to some rocks, where she climbed up and waited for help. Division Chief Keith Swindle of the Anne Arundel County Fire Department said a passing boater stayed with her until police and fire department boats arrived.
Lake was taken to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center and released the next day.
A student at the College of Southern Maryland student, Lake said she was in pain, but she suffered only bumps and bruises.
Melani Lake credited her daughter's "sheer will to survive." She said she knew her daughter was an athlete, but "we didn't know she could swim like that."
The collision occurred Friday night in the eastbound lanes of the bridge, which connects Maryland's Eastern Shore with the rest of the state. The accident occurred about a quarter-mile onto the span. The vehicle went into water that was about 8 feet deep.
Police said no charges had been filed.
In 2010, Travel and Leisure magazine named the 4.3-mile span that connects the Eastern Shore to the rest of Maryland as one of the scariest bridges in the world.

It Looks Like the Nicki Minaj-Hot 97 Feud Is Back On
"Don't ever play my music again."
As you might recall, this year's Hot 97 Summer Jam was a bit of a fiasco, with D.J. Peter Rosenberg badmouthing "Starships" and Lil' Wayne stepping in to defend Nicki Minaj's honor. Minaj eventually patched things up with the New York mega-station, but the peace was not built to last: According to Hot 97's program director, Ebro, Minaj recently called him up to say — among other things — "Don't ever play my music again." Apparently, she was upset over Ebro's on-air speculation about the effect Rosenberg's comments had on Pink Friday Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up, which didn't sell well. "I said, 'Rosenberg ruined Nicki Minaj's career,'" Ebro explained on the Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg Show. "The things [Rosenberg] said about her being pop and selling out and making that pop music came back to haunt her." Next thing he knows: "I get the phone call, the international number pops up, I answer the call, it's my friend Nicki Minaj, who then starts to proclaim how I'm fake. She used every woman's stab she could — 'I thought you were a man, you're a cornball, I thought we were friends, you're fake, everyone told me you were fake.'"
Ebro defended himself to his now-former friend, saying that he was just "keeping [her] in the Hip Hop conversation. This Hip Hop thing's a competition; you're either ringing, or you're not, and just like I said yesterday, I love you, boo and I'll dust you off and make sure this thing is popping off again." But that was not good enough. "Don't ever play my music again," Nicki reportedly shot back, raising the stakes. "Of course we are [still playing her music]," confided Ebro, who added, "I love Nicki Minaj." And we always hurt the ones we love.

FLEXITY Swift – Frankfurt, Germany
Bombardier is responsible for the design and delivery of 224 FLEXITY Swift light rail vehicles for the Frankfurt transport authority (VGF). This vehicle type has already been successfully operating on the Frankfurt high-floor network since 2008.
The 25m long vehicles may be combined to form a 50-metre version which is walkable throughout its entire length. Consequently, the operator can respond flexibly to changing passenger volumes. The new vehicles have been constantly developed to further increase passenger comfort and flexibility so that travelling by public transport in the financial centre is also a pleasurable experience during peak hours. The modern FLEXITY Swift LRVs feature level entrances with eight/four wide double-doors per side which enable quick and barrier-free access, above all for passengers with impaired mobility.
Inside the vehicle multipurpose areas offer sufficient space for prams, wheelchairs and luggage. On hot summer days the air-conditioned interior ensures a pleasant journey. In order to prevent vandalism and increase security some of the new vehicles will be equipped with a video surveillance system.
VGF has already ordered 75 FLEXITY Classic low-floor trams, which have been in successful revenue service in Frankfurt since October 2003.

Yellow Fever Vaccine, GuadeloupeSummary
Yellow Fever Vaccine, Guadeloupe @beautyguadeloupe_com: Live attenuated yellow fever virus vaccine jab/shot/injection schedule, to vaccinate against the Yellow fever virus, to immunise against Yellow fever
Keywords: Yellow Fever Vaccine Guadeloupe, Guadeloupe Yellow Fever Vaccine, Yellow Fever Vaccine.
The 17D vaccine, which is based on a live, attenuated viral strain, is the only commercially available yellow fever vaccine. It is given as a single subcutaneous (or intramuscular) injection. Yellow fever vaccine is highly effective (approaching 100%). All individuals aged 9 months or older and living in countries or areas at risk should receive yellow fever vaccine.
Precautions and contraindications
With the exception of very rare cases of vaccine-associated neurotropic and viscerotropic disease (see below), the 17D vaccine is generally considered to be safe. However, some vaccine recipients develop mild systemic reactions, including myalgia and headache. Contraindications include true allergy to egg protein, immunodeficiency (congenital or acquired) and symptomatic HIV infection (Chapter 9). There is a theoretical risk of harm to the fetus if the vaccine is given during pregnancy and vaccination of nursing mothers should be avoided because of the risk for the transmission of 17D virus to and encephalitis in the breast-fed infant.These risks must be weighed against the risk to the mother of remaining unvaccinated and travelling to an area where exposure to YFV may occur. In general, unvaccinated pregnant or nursing women should be advised not to travel to such areas.
Hypersensitivity reactions are rare, particularly anaphylactic reactions. However, the vaccine is produced in embryonated chicken eggs and is contraindicated in persons with a history of oral egg intolerance or strong allergic reactions to egg-based products.
Encephalitis has been reported as a rare event following vaccination, principally in infants under 6 months of age. As a result, the vaccine is contraindicated in infants under 6 months of age and is not recommended for those aged 6–8 months, except during epidemics when the risk of YFV transmission may be very high.
Vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease is a recently described adverse event that on very rare occasions has occurred after the first immunization with the yellow fever 17D vaccine. Onset is within 10 days of vaccination and the pathological process is characterized by severe multi-organ failure and an overall case—fatality rate in excess of 60%. Known risk factors include a history of thymus disease (e.g. thymoma or thymectomy) and age ≥ 60 years. In the United Sates, the risk for people aged ≥ 70 years of contracting viscerotropic disease after receiving vaccination against yellow fever is estimated to be 2.4 cases/100 000 vaccine doses.
Increased incidence of vaccine-associated neurotropic disease (e.g. meningoencephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome) has been reported in infants under 6 months of age and in vaccine recipients aged ≥60 years . The reported rate of vaccine-associated neurotropic disease in travellers from the United States and Europe ranges between 0.13 and 0.8 per 100 000 doses.
Yellow fever vaccination is required for travellers to certain countries and recommended for all travellers to countries or areas with risk of yellow fever transmission (see Country list and Annex 1). The risk to unvaccinated individuals who visit countries or areas where there may be yellow fever transmission is often greater than the risk of a vaccine-related adverse event. While yellow fever vaccination should be encouraged as a key prevention strategy, it is important to screen travel itineraries and carefully evaluate the potential risk of systemic illness after yellow fever vaccination. Great care should be exercised not to prescribe yellow fever vaccination to individuals who are not at risk of exposure to infection, based on an accurate assessment of the travel itinerary. Although vaccination is generally not recommended for travellers going to areas where the risk of exposure is low, any risk (e.g. as a result of prolonged travel or heavy exposure to mosquito bites) should be weighed against individual risk factors for vaccine-associated adverse events (e.g. altered immune status).

Ray Lewis was great at stopping running backs and passes across the middle.
Apparently, he could have intercepted a champagne bottle that may or may not have been laid across the head of Jacoby Jones by a stripper named Sweet Pea on a party bus while celebrating Bryant McKinnie's birthday.
During ESPN's pregame show last night (via the Baltimore Sun), the former Ravens linebacker who is now paid to say things cited the leadership void created with his retirement and the departure of Ed Reed.
"We talk about the transition of losing so many guys, a guy like myself and Ed Reed and other guys that are based off leadership, I've said it earlier: 'Where would the leadership come from?'" Lewis said. "Because the leadership being strong in the locker room and winning games, listen talent sometimes can win you games. But when you talk about what's going on off the field, that's the most important place where leadership steps up.
"When you think about the Baltimore Ravens and the transition that they went through, they're missing leadership right now. When you have an incident like that, the first thing a leader is going to do is find some way to dissolve everything that's going on and actually dissolve it before it comes to that type of head or even gets to that point. When you talk about the Baltimore Ravens they're going to have to refocus and find some quick leaders in that locker room very quickly."
Obviously, he's right.
Nothing unfortunate ever happened off the field involving a Ravens player when he was there.
