Child Hoped to Be Cured of HIV Shows Signs of Virus
Mississippi Girl Born With AIDS Virus Was In Remission for Years After Aggressive Treatment
A Mississippi child born with the AIDS virus who scientists thought might have been cured following drug treatment has shown signs of infection again, in a disappointing turn for researchers who had hoped the case would identify one path to a cure.
In March, doctors said the young girl was still free of the virus even though she hadn't been on any antiretroviral drugs for about two years. But doctors found detectable levels of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, in her blood during a routine checkup earlier this month....

When it comes to fruit on a salad, this is my favorite combination. Strawberries, almond slivers and spinach with a touch of a sweet creamy poppy seed dressing. Yum!
And what makes this salad even better? Picking the spinach from your garden!
In most regions, you can grow spinach starting in the early spring, as it is resistant to cold temperatures. And if you play your garden cards right, you can grow in late summer or fall when the temperatures are cooler again.
Summertime is the best time of year to experiment and look for new flavor combinations. Between the different varieties of lettuce, the myriad of fruits, vegetables and other toppings to the endless dressing options, there seem to be a million salad possibilities!
Strawberry Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
10 ounce bag spinach leaves (or freshly picked spinach)
12 strawberries, stems removed and sliced
1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup store bought creamy poppy seed dressing
1. In a large bowl, toss together the spinach leaves, sliced strawberries and slivered almonds.
2. Serve onto four plates.
3. Drizzle the poppy seed dressing on top of each serving.
Makes four lunch portions.

A World Class Team of Surgeons
Right Here In Wayne County
It's normal for you to feel nervous when you need surgery. You might wonder if the best doctors can only be found at large, faraway hospitals.
Fortunately, Wayne County residents don't have to leave home. World-class expertise is available right here in Goldsboro. With over 40 years of combined experience, the members of Wayne Health Surgical Associates General Surgery Team – Dr. Gilbert Garcia, Dr. Leon Stockton and Dr. Christopher Clark – have the skill set to match services found at almost any regional hospital.
"We do the best to take care of our own," explains Dr. Stockton. "It's important to us as a community hospital that we don't have to refer anyone unless it's absolutely necessary. Nine out of ten times we can take care of patients here, and we're very proud of that fact."
Wayne Health Surgical Associates, an affiliate of Wayne Health Physicians, can perform routine operations such as gallbladder surgery, colonoscopies and laparoscopic procedures, but the team also possesses a wealth of experience in abdominal, breast, thyroid, and hernia surgeries for both adult and pediatric patients. According to Dr. Stockton and Dr. Garcia, their specialization requires "a little knowledge about a lot of things," and a large time commitment.
In fact, each surgeon performs more than 1,000 procedures every year.
"We want people to remember that we're here to help them with anything from minor lesions to more radical surgery. We can assure patients that any additional services they need are right here; they probably won't have to leave town for a thing." – Dr. Gilbert Garcia
"When I first came here, I did not believe a general surgeon in a town like Goldsboro could be this busy," says Dr. Stockton, "but I think those numbers and the longevity and stability of the practice says a lot about the quality of the service we provide here in the community."
The doctors agree that Wayne Health Surgical Associates and Wayne Memorial Hospital are great places to work. Says Dr. Stockton, "There are so many people who are appreciative, and when they say thanks, it means a lot to us."
To learn more about Wayne Health Surgical Associates, or to schedule an appointment with one of our surgeons, please call 919.734.1141

NEW YORK (AP) — Phoenix frontman and singer Thomas Mars says their new album "Bankrupt!" was born out of the negative influences going on in the band after the unprecedented success of their Grammy-winning 2009 album, "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix."
"At that time, we started talking about success and not music," Mars said. "I guess it was time to protect ourselves and focus on music again."
The band said it took some time to get on track when they began writing songs for the new album, which comes four years after "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" was named a Top 10 album on end-of-the-year lists for Rolling Stone, Time and Spin magazines, among others. The album also reached gold status, a first for the band.
"I guess we're perfectionists in the way that when we make an album, we know it's going to last. It's important that it's exactly how we want it to be," Mars said. "But when the record is done, it's all about imperfection. It's all about playing live."
Ironing out things worked for the French-based band: "Bankrupt!" — Phoenix's fifth album — debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 albums chart this month. "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" peaked at No. 37.
Part of the anticipation behind the critical darlings in America can be attributed to the ubiquity of their song "1901," which appeared on their last album and was used in a Cadillac commercial. The platinum-selling track, a Top 5 jam on the rock and alternative songs charts, is the group's biggest hit in the U.S.
"Back when we did this Cadillac commercial, we were unknown here. The idea of doing something for such an iconic (car) was really funny to do," bassist Deck d'Arcy recalled (brothers Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz round out the foursome).
Phoenix is on a world tour that wraps Nov. 22 in Dusseldorf, Germany. Mars said not having a hit before "1901" took off proved to be an advantage for the band on the road.
"We're lucky that we didn't have a hit single for a while, so when we play live, people are not expecting just one song and we don't tour as a greatest hits band, which can be sad I'm sure," said Mars, who is married to Sofia Coppola. "It's always the new album, and some from the last one, and less and less from the older ones."
D'Arcy feels the band attained gradual success over their 14-year career, but said they weren't prepared for the overwhelming reception they received in America.
"The U.S. was a surprise. ... We never expected the big bang," d'Arcy said. "The rest of the world we kind of experienced success on a smaller scale."
While both d'Arcy and Mars agree the band doesn't need to do another TV commercial to promote their music, they don't believe that commerciality devalues their sound. That may be a result of the way things work where they grew up.
"There's a weird law in France where they could use pretty much anything, any song on anything as long as it's less than 40 seconds — so we grew up with this," Mars said. "We grew up discovering (Prince's) 'Little Red Corvette' on a weird Cheerios commercial, and I didn't mind it. I thought it was awkward, but I liked the song."
The members of Phoenix, who have been friends since attending school together, hail from Versailles, the posh section outside of Paris. Oddly enough, they're not very known in their homeland.
"We have a more underground success in France, which we feel keeps it cool. We are considered French, but not French because people don't think we are," d'Arcy said, smiling. "It's a funny one in France."

Acura TL vs Infiniti G35
I almost got a used one as my TL replacement....then I asked a few mechanics I know....they advised me to stay away as the parts are INCREDIBLY expensive.
Nice all-around car though....340hp V8 awd 4 door is pretty much a do-it-all vehicle.
Handled remarkable well for having such a big heavy motor up front and AWD.
I think the article I read the TLSH ran circles around the 335, the G, the IS350, and the NEW (v6superchared..30mpg) S4. That Differential has been amazing since they first put it in a prelude waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when.0
Regarding the S4, I wouldnt get too carried away with the HP, its slower than a 335i and probably at par with the G37 but cost 8k more than the 335i and 10s of thousands more than the G37. Yeah, the S4 is not on my wish list at all.
Regarding ability to take curves etc, am not too much of a fan of that. I drive my car on the road 100% of the time, never on race tracks. To me the edmunds article has more relevance than the C&D test results0
bodble2 Posts: 4,519"Regarding ability to take curves etc, am not too much of a fan of that. I drive my car on the road 100% of the time, never on race tracks."
Don't roads have curves too?0
Yes they do, but most are designed in such a way that even a bus driver can take them. Let me put it this way, I have driven my 140hp commuter through those curves on the road and have not been disapointed. So I cannot justify paying a premium for any car cos some magazine says it takes curves very well. When I drive my G, I have not been let down at any twist, turn or curve either. So I do not see the need for spending say 41k on a base 335i, vs the same amount on a fully loaded G.0
At the time...the 3 series was slow, and the (Used) S4 was about 30K. Plus Audi interiors are the standard by which others are measured. I wound up getting a 40K G Sport loaded and have no regrets....gas mileage notwithstanding. My TL used to get 30 on the highway..no problem. G is still the best car for the $ to me no matter what...with (Oddly enough) Legacy GT being my second choice if value is weighed more heavily. The saved 8-10K would go a LONG way lol0
pdxsteeler Posts: 1Am currently in the midst of trying to decide between the three. Base configuration for the Acuras is my current thinking. Offers from the Acura dealer (still room to negotiate almost surely): '08 TL @ 30, 225, '09 TSX @ 29605. Still need an officiall offer on the Infiniti but over the phone they said they should be able to take at least 5k off the sticker (to match the discount on the TL off sticker price). That would put the G35 at between 30k and 31k.
Understand that the TSX is a slightly different class than the other two but given that is an '09 that is supposedly comaprable to the '08 TL, wanted to include that.
The questions:
1) Assuming the prices are the same, which car would you choose?
2) If the prices are different, how much cheaper would the G35 have to be to choose that over the TL (or vice versa if you think the TL is the better one at the same price).
3) What G35 package makes the most sense to compare against the TSX?0
blnewto Posts: 146Test drove all three (08 TSX) and for me the G was clearly the best performer and the most fun to drive. If you can land a sport package G for 32K that's the ticket0

Appeals court orders new trial for Brad Cooper
Appeals court orders new trial for Brad Cooper
The North Carolina Court of Appeals has ordered a new trial for a Cary man convicted of strangling his wife five years ago.
The court on Tuesday ordered a new trial for 39-year-old Brad Cooper, who had been sentenced to life in prison.
He was convicted in 2011 of first-degree murder in the death of Nancy Cooper, who he said had gone jogging and never returned home.
Nancy Cooper's body was found in a drainage ditch.
The judges said the trail judge made a mistake in limiting the testimony of an expert on a Google Maps search of the site where her body was found.
The court said the Google Map files recovered from Brad Cooper's laptop computer were perhaps the most important pieces of evidence in the trial.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 30, 2012) – The ETSU volleyball team saw its historic season come to an end as Kentucky swept the Bucs (9-25, 17-25, 15-25) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday night inside Memorial Coliseum.
The Bucs – who were making their first-ever appearance in the "Big Dance" and played in front of a crowd of 1,917 fans – were led by junior Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.), while sophomores Meredith Hardy (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Ivey Rice (Johnson City, Tenn.) provided five kills each for the Blue and Gold. Devine, the Atlantic Sun Player of the Year, finished with eight kills, seven digs, and three service aces – all of which led or tied team highs. Meanwhile, Hardy added five kills and a pair of block assists, moving her streak of registering at least one block to 62 straight matches. Fellow sophomore Jamie Rutledge (Kingsport, Tenn.) accounted for 21 of ETSU's 25 assists, while also ending with three blocks and two kills on three attempts on the night.
ETSU had won three straight and 11 of its last 14 matches coming into the tournament, and ended the season with an overall record of 23-13 – marking the Bucs' second 20-win season in the last three campaigns. Meanwhile, Kentucky – the tournament's No. 16 seed nationally – improved to 21-10 and advanced to play Ohio State in Saturday's second round.
Despite the season-ending setback, the Bucs still enjoyed an outstanding year. ETSU set program records for block assists (613) and sets played (139), while also setting new A-Sun records for total blocks (366.5) and blocks in conference only matches (198.5). Furthermore, the Blue and Gold also etched their name into the ETSU single-season record book for total blocks (366.5, 3rd), assists (1644, 4th), kills (1781, 5th), and attack percentage (.223, 5th).
Individually, the Bucs saw the career of senior setter Kayla Williams (El Paso, Texas) come to an end on Friday night. Williams – who played two seasons for the Blue and Gold after transferring in from Frank Phillips College – registered 1,204 assists in 53 matches. Williams also recorded five double-doubles during her tenure at ETSU.
As for the match went, ETSU won the first two points of the first set; however, it was all Kentucky from that point forward as the Wildcats captured the opener, 25-9. The Wildcats answered with a 10-1 run following the pair of Buccaneer points, forcing the Blue and Gold to burn a timeout. After Kentucky won the next point, Hardy's kill cut the deficit to seven, 11-4, but the Wildcats closed the set out on a 14-5 spurt to take a 1-0 lead in the match. ETSU gave the Wildcats 13 points via errors, while Kentucky outhit the Bucs .409 (10-1-22) to .032 (7-6-31).
The Bucs shook off the jitters and rust in the second as ETSU jumped out to a 14-11 advantage, but with play knotted at 15, Kentucky won 10 of the final 12 points to win the set, 25-17. Early in the set, the Blue and Gold trailed 6-3, but scored four consecutive points to pull back ahead, 7-6. ETSU eventually built a five-point cushion when Devine capped off a stretch of three straight service aces to make it a 13-8 score. Unfortunately, the Bucs couldn't extend their lead any larger as the Wildcats rallied for the win and grabbed a 2-0 advantage in the match. Devine had four of her eight kills in the second, while she compiled three of ETSU's four service aces in the set.
The early stages of the third set were close, but with the game tied at 5-all, Kentucky broke the frame open with six unanswered points to go ahead, 11-5. From there, the Wildcats extended their lead to 12, 22-10, but the Bucs threw one final spurt at Kentucky by scoring the next four points to make it an eight-point contest, 22-14. However, ETSU's deficit was too big to dig out of and Kentucky took the set and match with a 25-15 victory. Of Rice's five kills, three came in the third, while Hardy kept her block streak going with both of her stuffs coming in the stanza as well. As a team, the Bucs generated 10 of their 26 kills in the final set along with two of their three blocks.
Kentucky's Ashley Frazier tallied a match-high 12 kills, while Whitney Billings added eight kills and nine digs. As a team, the Wildcats totaled 39 kills on a .361 attack percentage and finished with 43 digs.

Ever wonder what research in sustainability is like? Visitors of all ages can obtain fun, hands-on experience with this exciting and emerging field at the Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival this Saturday, May 4. At the same time, festivalgoers can also get an inside look at RIT's newly dedicated "living lab" where this exciting and important research happens.
During the "Eco-Fabulous: Homemade Science and Sustainability" exhibit, Sustainability Institute Hall—the cutting-edge facility housing the Golisano Institute for Sustainability (GIS)—will be buzzing with child-friendly sustainability "experiments" and activities that visitors can conduct in their own homes.
"We wanted to connect what people can do at home with the kinds of sustainability research we're doing here at RIT every day," says Erinn Ryen, a Brighton student pursuing her Ph.D. in sustainability. "We think people will be truly fascinated by the strong connection between the education and research sides of the sustainability research here at GIS."
Exhibits taking place on three floors of the 84,000-square-foot building's east side will include:
"We want to show people they might not be aware of the wide range of everyday products that can be reused," says Bailey, a student also seeking her Ph.D. in sustainability at GIS. "The main focus of these exhibits is to translate the science of chemistry into tangible ways the whole family can get involved and how they can help future generations learn how to achieve a more sustainable lifestyle."
All of the products and "recipes" demonstrated from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday during "Eco-Fabulous" will be available online at www.rit.edu/gis so the experiments can be performed at home.

There will be no changes to existing regulation of farm dust, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed.
The announcement was part of an update to fine particulate matter (PM) regulations, which primarily impact soot. Coarse particulate matter like farm dust will continue to be regulated as it has been in the past.
EPA is required under the Clean Air Act to review air quality standards every five years. The Agency had not issued its report within the five-year timeframe, so it was required by a court order to do so by Dec. 14.
The review of PM standards had been ongoing for more than a year when EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced in October 2011 that the Agency had no intention of further regulating coarse PM.
NAWG, farm groups and farm state legislators had argued that dust is a fact of farming life and further regulation would effectively shut down the agricultural economy in many areas.
Despite the earlier assurances, EPA's recent announcement is an appreciated measure of certainty for farmers in a very uncertain policy environment.
More from EPA on particulate matter regulation is at http://www.epa.gov/pm/.
More on NAWG's work related to environmental regulation is available at www.wheatworld.org/environmentalregulation.

Everyone knows that it is impossible to concentrate with a splitting headache, but now neuroscientists can explain why. Researchers at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Germany have identified a region of the brain that processes both working memory and pain, and it seems to give preference to painful stimuli. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, the researchers found that applying pain to volunteers' hands increased activity in brain areas involved in pain processing, while decreasing activity in areas that were working on the assigned visual task.
Ulrike Bingel, who led the study, says the work might have implications for pain management. When doctors decide whether to use strong painkillers such as opiates, they weigh the cognitive side effects of treatment, Bingel says, but they do not always consider that the pain itself can interfere with mental function.

The New Orleans Saints made 12-time Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey one of their preseason roster cuts Saturday.
Bailey struggled because of a foot injury and played sparingly in the last two games of the preseason.
Bailey said after the Super Bowl that he wouldn't retire "because I still know I can play this game."
Only seven players in NFL history have more Pro Bowl selections than Bailey, who signed with the Saints after his release from the Denver Broncos in the spring.
The Buffalo Bills signed quarterback Kyle Orton to back up second-year starter EJ Manuel.

New sail for my hypersonic 111
I am looking to buy a new sail for my HS 111 to replace both a 7.8 nocam and a 9.5 3-cam (cams broken - too difficult a sail to handle and rig for me).
I want a rather light sail (8.0 or 8.5 with 2 small cams?) with enough power to keep the best out of this great board.
Any suggestions ?

RE: New sail for my hypersonic 111
I have an Ezzy Infinity 8.5 that has good range and is easy to rig and handle relative to a race sail. That might be a good brand to try.

RE: New sail for my hypersonic 111
I would suggest the Ezzy Infinity or the Sailworks Retro. I'm a Retro fan, but I know many sailors who do very well with the Infinity. I have an 8.0 Retro that I love. It has an amazing range. I have only used it when it is fully powered up at this point, but I can attest that in overpowering conditions, it does very well.

RE: New sail for my hypersonic 111
You might want to check out Hansen Sails at the following website.
The Freerace HCL line would be perfect for your needs, as you can elect to use 1, 2, or 3 cams; or even with no cams at all. The sail has been designed to effectively work in any of these modes (I actually prefer the no cam mode). Also, the Hansen Compliant Leech (HCL) technology is a brand new concept that has distinct performance advantages. You can read more about this sail and the HCL technology at this website address:
I should point out that Hansen Sails is just starting up as a company, so sails are going to be manufactured on pre-order basis. It's important to note that the sail designer, Bill Hansen, was the original founder and designer of Windwing Sails, so the relative newness of Hansen Sails as a company shouldn't be considered a downside. Bill Hansen is a very talented and innovative sail designer that has been actively designing and manufacturing windsurfing sails since 1982. Without a doubt, one of the most experienced guys in the business.
Lastly, I should emphasize that I'm not associated with Hansen Sails in any way. I'm simply a dedicated customer that really appreciates Bill Hansen's work. If you have any specific questions about the sails, you can post them on the Hansen Sails forum.

RE: New sail for my hypersonic 111
You migth want to look at the superspeed HOT sails maui sail. It has no cambers, but it looks just like a sail with cambers. They say, that it hast the good sides of both cam and nocam sails, so that would be that its easy to jibe and it has a lot of power. The downside of it is that you would have to buy a new mast because it works with an RDM. That might be an obstacle, BUT if you have the money to buy it its definately a good choice.
Here is a link to its site and to a video about the sail...
p.s i dont work for HSM...

RE: New sail for my hypersonic 111
For simplicity there is no doubting a good nocam is the way to go, and some of the examples mentioned here are benchmarks in that category, but to get the most from the HS you need a sail that is particularly draft stable (get the most from the wide performance range of HS) as well as very responsive to use of adjustable/variable outhaul (especially if you are looking at light to medium HS111 sail sizes and moreso if looking to replace 2 sails with 1 - and and thus squeezing the most from that 1).
That pretty much indicates cam sails, but still keeping it simple maybe more "freerace" or cammed freeride, rather than (the usually more complex) full race sails.
Choosing a sail that is slightly "gruntier", but then taking a slightly (half size or say 0.5m in that 8-9m range) smaller size also works very well with the "one sail/max HS range" combo ; the grunt obviously helping the lightwind/bottom end as well as getting the HS onto the plane easier, whilst the smaller area tends to keep the overall drag down and allow better top end. Usually "grunty" sails are ultimately a little less stable at top end, however agian taking a slightly smaller size both improves the stability (for a given type of sail) and also makes dealing with any instability (at speed/overpower) less of an issue than a larger version of the same type of sail.
There are plenty of good sails on the market to match this spec, and a lot of the modern freerace/cam freeride sails are quite simple to rig, very easy to use and durable. In combo with the HS, the results can be an exceptionally rangy, practical (one size) and versatile package.

RE: New sail for my hypersonic 111
Many thanks to Ian in particular for the specific feedback, and to all the others for the various suggestions (most of which don't seem v. easy brands to find in Europe from my short experience).
Anyway I will go for a 2- or 3-cammed sail with a slightly smaller size, then (closer to 8 than 9 sq.m.).
tks a lot,

RE: New sail for my hypersonic 111
Guest c, I'm now on my second Hyper 111 ( changed from dram to wood) and use almost exclusively 8.5 sails on this board. I had a 2005 NP V8 first which was very difficult to rig downhaul wise but would get the board planning easily in 10knots. Now I have a NP RS6 8.4 which is excellent for the wind range you are after. I don't use a expensive X9 mast only the x6. This race sail having four cams is the easiest cammed sail I've ever had to rig. If you follow the video procedure and may sure you keep the down haul to 10 cm short the cams pop on with ease. It is a perfect sail for the hyper through to about 18 knts. I also have the NP MXT extention which makes downhauling by hand a breeze. Like Ian said adjustable will give it even more. I don't have it but thats next on the list. I'm sure that the RSS would be even better as it has the 2 or 3 cams you want and is tuned around x6 equipment. I'll get one of those next year. If the 2007 V8 rigs the same as the RS series they would be worth a look as well ( 2 cams). They probably rig a lot easier than the 2005 model. One thing about NP sails is they take about 5 good sails to stretch in. SO if you get one don't be dissapointed at the start. It will be stiff and hard to rotate at first, but by the tenth sail they are worth their weight in gold. Take the spacers out at the start then put them back as it stretchs and keep the luff tight. I have a friend who rides the exact kit on the same board and he also is very happy. We are just under 30kts with this kit and 48 cm fin. Hope these are available in Euro.

RE: New sail for my hypersonic 111
Am using a mix of twin cam and no cam sails on HS111. Yes, if using no cam sail on HS 111 the the rigging is critical - small changes to settings make a big difference when operating at either end of the wind range. HS responds well to sails that are efficient at the top of their wind range, whether camed or not. HS likes to be driven with the smallest fin and sail combo that will work on the day. I tend to rig small than large to get that effortless ride when it lights up.

Results of the Kentucky elk hunt lottery drawing are now available online at fw.ky.gov.
Final results show that 33,675 people submitted an application for one of the 905 quota hunt permits to be issued by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources this year.
Kentucky's hunt of a lifetime drew interest from hunters across the country, including three from Hawaii, 25 from Alaska, 24 from Maine and 59 from California. Hunters could apply for up to two permits. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife received 59,672 permit applications, meaning the majority of hunters applied more than once.
The Kentucky Commonwealth Office of Technology conducted the drawing Thursday, May 3, using a random computer program.
Hunters may visit the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife website to check if they were drawn. Hunters must either enter their social security number, or their birth date and the 19-digit number they received while applying. Applicants should enter the information carefully to make sure they do not put in an incorrect number.
Drawn hunters also will receive a notification letter from Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. Hunters have until July 1 to apply online for an Elk Hunting Unit (EHU). Kentucky's elk hunting zone is subdivided into units to help spread hunting pressure. A second drawing is conducted to determine an individual's hunting unit.
Hunters should visit the department website for more information regarding hunting unit selection. The website also contains maps and additional information on public hunting lands within the elk zone.

Look familiar? The United States eliminated Sweden from gold medal contention and will go to its sixth straight U18 gold medal game. Photo: Richard Wolowicz, HHOF-IIHF Images
LAPPEENRANTA – In a clash between arguably the world's top two youth development programs, the United States ended Sweden's gold medal hopes for the fifth straight year, winning the IIHF U18 World Championship semi-final game 4-1. Click here for scores, stats, and photos"They were hungrier around the net, they took their shots and were able to score while we weren't able to," said team captain Gustaf Franzen. "We had a lot of power plays which we didn't convert, unfortunately for us but that's hockey." Sweden, the top scoring team going into the game, got on the board first 2:39 into the opening period. A shot from the point by William Nylander was stopped by Alexander Nedeljkovic, but the U.S. goaltender gave up a big rebound to Gustaf Franzen in the slot for the game's first goal. Tre Kronor's only lead of the game lasted for all of 32 seconds. Sweden turned the puck over trying to get into the USA zone, and on the ensuing rush Kyle Connor was able to pass the puck off to Auston Matthews before being taken out by the Swedish defence. Matthews made no mistake and tied the game up with a low wristshot. Both goaltenders settled down after giving up the first two goals and played well through the rest of the period, punctuated with a great save by Nedeljkovic on Adrian Kempe a two-on-one. The USA got the game winner just under eight minutes into the second period. Ryan Hitchcock pounced on a rebound coughed up by Linus Soderstrom following a shot from Noah Hanifin to go up 2-1.Then in the third a great forechecking effort by Dylan Larkin and Ryan Hitchcock gave the U.S. the insurance goal. Both players chased the puck into the Swedish zone and overpowered the lone Swedish defender, allowing Larkin to get in front of the net and score. Jack Eichel scored on the empty netter to seal the win. "They scored one goal but I feel we were all over them the entire game," said USA captain Louis Belpedio. "(Larkin's) goal was huge for us, he's a guy who comes up big in games like this."The semi-final victory means that Team USA will make its sixth straight trip to the U18 gold medal game. The Americans have won more gold medals nthan any country in the 15-year history of this tournament with seven. Sunday night will tell if either Canada or the Czech Republic will be able to stop them from getting their eighth. "We're gonna stick to our game plan like we did today," said Belpedio. "Whoever it is we're going to bring it to them and hopefully win that gold."ADAM STEISS

KENNESAW, Ga. (Oct. 15, 2012) – Coming off a successful five-game homestand, the ETSU volleyball team now hits the road for four straight contests, beginning Tuesday night at Kennesaw State. Game time is set for 7 p.m. inside the KSU Convocation Center.
ETSU (15-8, 6-3) – who won four of its five games on the season-long home stint – enjoyed a perfect week as the Bucs went 3-0 with wins over Mercer (3-1), Jacksonville (3-0), and North Florida (3-1). For the week, the Blue and Gold hit .255 (149-51-385) and averaged 13.55 kills, 12.82 assists, and 15.64 digs per set. Junior Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) generated a pair of double-doubles after finishing with 21 kills and a career high 26 digs in the win over Mercer, while adding 13 kills, 11 digs, and a career best seven blocks Saturday against UNF. Sophomore Meredith Hardy (Kingsport, Tenn.) enjoyed an outstanding week as she tallied 32 kills and 21 blocks in the three matches, and fellow sophomore Jamie Rutledge (Kingsport, Tenn.) provided 11.73 assists per set.
The Bucs put the finishing touches on a victorious homestand by rallying past North Florida, 3-1 (22-25, 25-19, 25-21, 26-24), on Saturday afternoon in Brooks Gym. ETSU extended its winning streak to three straight by holding the Ospreys to a .117 hitting percentage and out-blocking North Florida, 17-6. Devine posted her conference-leading 14th double-double of the season (13 kills/11 digs) and also finished with a career-best seven blocks. In addition, Hardy totaled her second double-double of the year after registering 12 kills and 10 blocks, while Rutledge, and Bethany Gesell (High Point, N.C.) added strong efforts in the four-set win. Rutledge recorded 40 assists, seven digs, and four blocks, and Gesell tallied 10 kills and four blocks.
Kennesaw State has won three of its last five matches, but the Owls are coming off back-to-back losses against USC Upstate (0-3) and Mercer (2-3). The Owls are led by Preseason Libero of the Year selection, Camille Pedraza, as she is averaging 4.48 digs per set, which ranks third in the A-Sun. Meanwhile, Turea Jones leads Kennesaw State in kills per set (3.14) and Sara Metroka is the leader in assists per set (10.76). Metroka ranks third in the A-Sun in assists and Jones is 10th in kills per set. As a team, the Owls rank second in the league with 1.42 aces per set and are third behind the Bucs in hitting percentage (.214).
Tuesday night is a rematch of last year's A-Sun Quarterfinal game where the Bucs rallied from two sets down to pull off a thrilling five set win inside Lipscomb's Allen Arena. Sophomore Ivey Rice (Johnson City, Tenn.) finished with a career high 22 kills and a .455 attack percentage, while senior Kayla Williams (El Paso, Texas) also generated a career best 55 assists in the win. Devine ended with a double-double 20-kills, 14-digs and Hardy provided 10 kills and six blocks.
Overall, ETSU leads the all-time series, 7-4, and the Bucs have won three of the last four meetings.

Police made a slew of heroin arrests last week after circumstance brought them to the place of multiple alleged drug crimes.
Between Thursday and Sunday of last week, police made five heroin related arrests, Deputy Chief John Carmichael said, some of which were related.
While investigating an East Walpole News drug paraphernalia case on Thursday (see related story on page A9), police in the store�s parking lot noticed suspicious activity unrelated to their investigation nearby.
Officers found two women with bags of heroin and a syringe at around 11:15 a.m., Carmichael said.
Police arrested Kaleen O�Malley, 27 of 574 South St. in Wrentham, and Christine Louise, Muse, 30 of 80 Sumner Perry Dr. in Wrentham, on charges of possession of heroin. Each were found with several bags of heroin on them, Carmichael said.
While searching O�Malley and Muse, Carmichael said one of the women�s cell phones rang. An officer answered the call, finding a man seeking to buy heroin on the other end.
"He was inquiring about purchasing heroin," Carmichael said. "We told him to come on down and we�d help him out."
When the man arrived at the scene, police arrested him too after finding he already had heroin. Steven Levy, 28 of 8 Harvard Lane in Wrentham, was charged with possession of heroin.
"We were there for the issue with East Walpole News, and observed other drug activity," Carmichael said.
On Saturday, an officer spotted two men near Walpole Center, one of whom he recognized as having a warrant out for his arrest. After speaking with the pair, the officer found both had existing warrants, and one was in possession of heroin.
As a result, police arrested Nicolas Ryan Gallery, 24 of 88 Ruth Street in New Bedford, on charges of possession of heroin, and warrant charges of distribution of a class B substance, possessing drugs in a school zone, and conspiracy. Travis Lee Armes, 26 of 1047 Main St. in Walpole, was arrested on warrant charges of larceny from a disabled person, credit card larceny, vandalizing, breaking and entering and larceny.
Slew of heroin arrests made in Walpole over the week

Your dog may not be adequately acclimated to winter cold or summer heat. On the coldest of days, even indoors, you may find him seeking warmth, cuddled on top of a favorite throw, or next to a heat vent. Exposed to the cold, it may take only a few minutes for him to become dangerously chilled. Under the hot summer sun, and under a hotter fur coat, he can suffer heatstroke, while the scorching pavement can burn his paws. Rain-soaked, his coat can be a misery. Fortunately, because owners across America are waking up to the benefits of clothing, dogs no longer have to tough out the extremes of weather on their own. In fact, even on the nicest of days, clothing can keep your dog cleaner, safer, and more comfortable.
The Advantages of Clothing Your Dog Better
There is more to clothing than protection from weather extremes. Day in and day out, your dog can benefit from the protection of clothing, just as much as you do. Good clothing can help your dog better adapt to seasonal changes and enjoy more time outdoors, while costumes and sportswear can add fun to holidays and events. Also, good clothing will…
- Warm your dog
- Keep him dry
- Protect his paws
- Keep his coat clean
- Reduce insect bites
- Repel fleas & ticks
- Cool him in hot weather
- Protect him against sunburn
- Keep him safer on the sidewalk and on the water
The Advantages of Better Dog Clothing
No pet enjoys being over-chilled, over-heated, or just plain filthy. Outerwear – jackets, sweatshirts, sweaters – work effectively to conserve your dog's body heat. If he runs in brush, outerwear will help prevent mosquito and spider bites, and repel fleas and ticks. If treated with a flea and tick topical spot on that repels, these pests seldom come near. Outerwear will also help keep burrs and thistles out of his coat to simplify grooming.
Your dog does not sweat through his skin. Instead, he pants and releases heat through his paws and nose. If your dog is outside, light protective clothing, like cotton jersey, can help cool him by reflecting the hot rays of the sun, and also help prevent sunburn.
In cool, damp fall or spring weather, an added layer of protection can make all the difference. A lightweight sweatshirt, sweater, or coat is the perfect warm-up. An easy-care Basic Sweater is a great choice.
When the temperature drops even further, your dog needs a heavier sweater. He'll stay warm and dry in a Kodiak Coat. Click here to see all of our jackets, sweaters, and dog clothing.
When it's raining or sleeting, a Packable Rain Poncho will save you from toweling off a soaked and shivering companion, or it will help protect your dog from high wind gusts. It's lightweight, so it won't weigh your pet down, yet it can keep your pet dry, especially around his ears and head.
Remember the pain of walking across hot sand at the beach? Your dog faces situations like this all the time on sizzling summer sidewalks. Winter is no kinder to his paws, especially if he must wade through snow or walk across ice. Boots provide excellent protection from these extremes, and can also be a good idea if you walk your dog regularly on hard, abrasive pavement, or off-road where he might encounter glass, thorns, or other hazards. Leather soled Aussie Dog Boots take only moments to put on, and come in all-weather and lined, cold-weather styles to provide year-round protection.
Because your dog cannot easily keep a blanket over him throughout a chilly night, pajamas are a good solution. My Favorite Dog Jammies are poly/cotton jammies that keep pet dander and hair to a minimum in your home. Jersey-style cuffs on all four legs help keep cold air out, which older pets are sure to appreciate.
If you run or walk after dark, you know to protect yourself with reflective gear. What about your dog? For optimum safety, dress him in a Reflective Coat. For added style, remember that many of our sporty sweatshirts, sweaters and jackets can be personalized.
Hiking near water? Boating? Swimming? If yes, always safeguard your pet in a pet life preserver.
Putting on the dog
Most dogs readily accept and appreciate clothing. For others, it may take a while. With experience, they usually come around. Offering treats will reinforce and speed cooperation. Also, to avoid problems, never mock your pet verbally when he is clothed. If you do, he won't understand the words, but he will understand your tone.
Drs. Foster & Smith offers a wide selection of clothing for your pet. Whether you simply wish to make a fashion statement, or want clothing to keep your pet warm, dry, and comfortable, we have the right apparel.
You and your best friend don't have to live with pain!

Survey Results: What Canadian Donors Want
October 9, 2017
The 2015 survey of What Canadian Donors Want shows that in challenging economic times, Canadians donate to charities that have a clear purpose and demonstrate corresponding impact.
What Canadian Donors Want is a biennial survey conducted on behalf of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Foundation for Philanthropy - Canada by Ipsos. The 2015 survey, the third of its kind, was designed to measure public perception of issues central to the nonprofit sector in Canada.
The findings also indicate that public trust in Canadian charities has increased six percent since 2011. Additionally, more Canadians believe that the nation's nonprofits are well-managed and act responsibly with the donations they receive.
"The What Canadian Donors Want Report gives all of Canadians a reliable barometer of citizen impact on the work being done to advance communities and causes," said Leah Eustace, ACFRE, former chair of the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy-Canada. "But it also provides critical information to Canada's charitable sector leaders about what motivates donors to be generous and the expectations donors have for solicitation and stewardship of their money."
Views and Attitudes of the Charitable Sector
The survey reveals that:
- Canadians continue to express higher confidence in the charitable sector than in either the private or public sectors (73% compared to 63% and 62%, respectively).
- However, four in ten Canadians believe that charities overstate the ratio of donor dollars allocated directly to programs versus administrative overhead, including one in ten who believes charities intentionally mislead the public.
Trust in the sector is important because the survey indicates that donors are looking for transparency and want to support charities that are efficient with their budgets and have a clear impact.
Solicitations and Giving Decisions
- Two-thirds of Canadians report having made a financial donation in the past 12 months. This is down four points from 2013 and represents the lowest figure reported since 2007 when this question was first posed to respondents. The drop is most prevalent among Canadians with middle education and lower household incomes. Donations are also down directionally in Alberta (from 77% to 67%) and Quebec (from 61% to 54%).
- While there were fewer donors in 2015, those who did give contributed more money than before. Canadians gave an average of $924 in 2015, compared to an average of $726 in 2013.
- Donors continue to report contributions to their local community over charities with a national or international mission. Since 2013, donations to organizations with a local focus increased from 49% to 54%, while donations to organizations with a national focus declined from 35 % to 28%.
- More than half of donors say they are "very likely" to make another gift to the charity to which they last donated.
- When looking for information on charities they support, Canadians primarily access it online (a total of 72% look at charity websites or other online media) and from family, friends and coworkers (32%).
- Fifteen percent of Canadians on social media say they have donated in response to a request posted on social media. More than half are open to receiving social media donation requests but note that their proclivity to respond depends on who posts the request and the cause the charity represents.
The survey revealed six segments of donors:
- Affiliative: Enjoy going to fundraising events and motivated to donate to charities from which they, or someone they know, has benefitted
- Communal: Donate to locally-based charities that benefit those in their community
- Pragmatist: Family tradition of donating to a specific charity and motivated by the provision of a tax credit
- Benevolent: Doing good is a moral obligation and want to help those in need
- Reactive: Do not strongly associate with charities they donate to, and wait to be approached to donate
- Adherent/Reverent: Donate to charities that share their beliefs or moral and motivated by their religious beliefs
The largest proportion of Canadians say helping those in need is their main motivation for giving. Compared to 2013, more Canadians say giving is the right thing to do, and there is a moderate increase in those who say giving makes them feel good.
A growing number of donors say it's important that they receive information on how their donation has made a difference (up 6 points from 2013 to 83%) and fewer indicate needing some kind of acknowledgement for their donation (38%).
The survey indicates that many donors want to support charities that are efficient with their budgets and have a clear impact. Of donors who gave in the past 12 months, 97% say the charities to which they gave have a clear purpose and mandate; 96% say the organization has a strong reputation; and 95% say the organization is successful in fulfilling its mission.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A former San Francisco crime lab technician at the center of a scandal that resulted in hundreds of drug cases being dropped has been sentenced to home confinement on a cocaine charge.
Deborah Madden was accused of skimming cocaine she was supposed to be testing while working at the lab in 2009.
The San Mateo resident agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor cocaine possession after two juries deadlocked in the federal felony case.
KPIX-TV reported (http://cbsloc.al/15uvgbC ) that the 63-year-old Madden apologized at her sentencing Friday, saying she ended her career in a shameful way. She received one year of home confinement and five years of probation.
The judge also ordered her to pay a fine and perform community service, but rejected prosecutors' request for a one-year prison sentence.

Calendar discontinued
We used to have fly fishing event calendar, but discontinued it
The calendar with fly fishing related events like shows, demos, video screenings etc. that we had for a couple of years has been discontinued. It was simply too much work to keep up to date, and not that popular or well visited. Unfortunately there are no other places that we know of, which gather all relevant events, so you'll have to look around yourself.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Keep Your Home California, a federally funded homeowner-assistance program, is reaching out to San Joaquin County residents who are underwater on their mortgages.
Keep Your Home California, a federally funded homeowner-assistance program, is reaching out to San Joaquin County residents who are underwater on their mortgages.
It has sent out postcards to about 14,000 county households, advising they could receive as much as $100,000 in free mortgage assistance from the state-run program.
The mailer highlights the Principal Reduction Program, under which homeowners may have their mortgage balance sharply reduced. On average, homeowners see a reduction of about $360 per month in their mortgage payments as well.
Since its launch in early 2011, a total of 122 San Joaquin County homeowners have received principal reductions totaling $7.7 million.
And recent changes in the program may allow many more to qualify, said Steve Gallagher, Keep Your Home's marketing manager.
From just a handful of participating lenders at first, more than 120 bank and loan servicing companies now take part.
"As a result, we have seen a lot of growth in the principal reduction pipeline," Gallagher said.
It is also easier to households to meet the requirement of having a financial hardship. Now a mortgage balance of 140 percent of the home's current market value is considered a financial hardship, as well as issues such as a job loss, divorce or major medical bills,
So even people who did not receive a postcard from Keep Your Home California, or who may have sought help months ago but did not qualify, should take a look at the program, Gallagher said.
Homeowners may call Keep Your Home California at (888) 954-5337, or visit the website at KeepYourHomeCalifornia.org, to learn more about the program and see if they should apply.
"We know not everybody will qualify, but we want to help as many people as we can," Gallagher said.
Since opening in early 2011, Keep Your Home California has aided more than 38,000 California homeowners with a variety of assistance. Besides mortgage principal reduction, it can help homeowners bring their payments up to date, help those receiving unemployed assistance keep current on their payments and, for those unable to keep their home, assistance in transitioning to other housing.
In all, the program has distributed about $633 million in benefits and has roughly $1 billion in funds yet uncommitted, Gallagher said.
It is trying the postcard mailings in San Joaquin and Fresno counties, both areas hard-hit by the mortgage crisis, to increase participation.
Of course, homeowners must meet other program requirements, including a household income limit of $79,550 in San Joaquin County and be able to make the monthly mortgage payments going forward.
"The goal is always to get people to an affordable and sustainable situation," Gallagher said.
