Sweetroll Randomization Act
Welcome to Sweetroll Randomization Act. A mod for Sweetrolls and the people who eat them.
This is the new and improved version of a great mod. I have added many Sweetrolls, new spells, a new standing stone, and a new creature. This is on top of the main feature of the mod, Randomization. Sweetroll Randomization Act is just that, Sweetrolls randomized in leveled loot, leveled placements, and unique placement in the world space.
SRA also has a special bonus, Sweetrolls randomly appear in the players inventory without a notification, which in turn adds to the randomness. In the end the point of this mod is to give sweetrolls purpose, and a random sweetroll may turn the tide of combat.
Sweetroll Addiction: I have fixed the sweetroll addiction mechanic. After much effort and testing, I am proud to include it in this update. The addiction mechanic is as follows:
There is a 3% chance to become addicted when eating a sweetroll. After becoming addicted the player will notice damaged stamina, ignoring your addiction will result in withdraw which brings more trouble.
When the player ignores addiction and withdraw effects, withdraw pain will result in detrimental effects to health, stamina and magicka. But have no fear, addiction will pass after a few days or may be cured by brewing a potion with all sweetroll types.
Sweetroll Standing Stone There is a new standing stone in the worldspace, the Sweetroll Stone. Upon accepting the Sweetroll Stone Perk, the player will receive a spell called 'Trans-Sweetroll', also all sweetrolls will get bonus effects, hidden to the player until after eating the sweetroll at which time the effect will show up in the players active effects screen (this is due to scripting limitations, I wish I knew how to fix this)
MCM Menu This mod has MCM support. Using the menu, you may toggle sweetroll addiction, adjust automatic sweetroll addiction, and adjust the amount of Sweetroll Randomness. Please note, Do not toggle addiction or change addiction days if you are currently addicted.
I have also added EIGHT more sweetroll types into the game, which are in the sweetroll sublist.
The new sweetrolls are:
- Spiced Sweetroll -Fortify and restore health
- Sweetroll with sprinkles -Fortify and restore stamina
- Rotten Sweetroll -Causes poison damage (use on weapons)
- Painted Sweetroll -Fortifies and regen. magika
- Golden Sweetroll -Cures disease... and other good stuff
- Spectral Sweetroll -Become Etheral and recover stats faster for 30 seconds
- Silver Sweetroll - Restores health, stamina, and magicka (only attainable through the sweetroll standing stone)
Sweetroll Hearthfire Add-on: With the Hearthfire addon, players can bake sweetrolls from SRA using the Hearthfire oven. Also includes a Sweetroll unique to the Add-on. Upgrade now with SRA Hearthfire Add-on v1.1, Optional file in the download page
~ Spoiler Warning ~
Apon finding and killing a Sweet Troll, they possess a 'Daedric Sweetroll' which, When consumed, will give the player a special spell for only a minute. This spell, when used on actors, will turn them into a pile of Sweetrolls. Have fun!

What would you do...if you knew?
One of the greatest blessings I've ever experienced was the opportunity to travel to Southern Africa with my daughter, Amanda, who was 20 at the time. I had worked with World Vision for almost 15 years in various capacities, mostly related to web and social media communications, and had traveled abroad several times. But this would be my first opportunity to meet our sponsored child, Gracia, in person.
The day Amanda and I spent with Gracia -- who lives in the southern part of the Congo and was 8 at the time -- is forever burned into our memories. Gracia is sweet, funny, and very smart. She lives in the poorest of circumstances, but has great potential to break the cycle of poverty, thanks to the way the Lord is working in her life through World Vision and others.
I'll never forget how Amanda burst into tears at the end of a day in which she and Gracia basically became big sister/little sister.
"Dad, we can't leave! What will become of Gracia?"
Amanda knew as well as I did that World Vision's support and our sponsorship already gave Gracia the best chance of achieving her dreams. But Amanda was reacting from her heart, and not her head.
Africa grabs your heart and never lets go. That's one of the reasons I've so enjoyed working with Dallas water activist, Karen James, as she's prepared to head to Zambia to visit her own sponsored child, Abgir Muleya.
Karen has had her own heart broken already. Later in 2006, the same year Mandy and I enjoyed our visit to Africa, her husband, Kelly, participated in a climbing expedition on Oregon's Mount Hood. He and his two colleagues perished after a freak accident near the summit, where a sudden, unexpected winter storm descended upon them.
A short time before their climb, Kelly had shared his heart with his wife, saying that his climbing skills might be put to an even greater use bringing attention to the plight of suffering children. The vision caught hold within Karen after Kelly's tragic death.
In Zambia this week: (left-right), Jennifer Smith (Karen's teammate), Musonda Chimbamba (World Vision Zambia), and Karen James.
Along with four friends, she launched the organization "if you knew..." Their slogan is "5 Women, $5 Million, 5 Years." Their mission is to help World Vision establish clean water sources in Africa to combat diseases that claim the lives of so many children. To date, they have already raised more than $2.1 million for this purpose.
But, as Karen says, "Time is ticking and these babies are dying!"
So, nearly halfway toward her goal, Karen left for Zambia last weekend to meet Abgir Muleya and to see how World Vision's work -- funded with the help of those who have so generously contributed to the "if you knew..." campaign -- truly is making a difference in real children's lives.
I am so excited to see what this trip will do in Karen! She has a huge heart, very excited to learn what God can do through ordinary people who attempt extraordinary things -- even those who have experienced some of life's most difficult tragedies.
Even if you can't follow Karen's footsteps directly by traveling to Africa yourself (and I hope you can!), you can follow along virtually on Karen's blog, encouraging her by sharing your comments and supporting her and her husband's dream.

Venezuela looking to shore up Classic rotation
By Alden Gonzalez / MLB.com
HERMOSILLO, Mexico -- At the moment, Luis Sojo is managing Venezuela's Navegantes de Magallanes in the Caribbean Series. And in a few weeks, he'll serve as skipper for his home country in the World Baseball Classic for the third straight time.
"It's a huge honor, for them to give me that responsibility and to have confidence in me for such an important tournament. It gives me a lot of satisfaction," Sojo, who manages the Yankees' Class A affiliate in the U.S., said in Spanish. "The end goal is to win that championship, which we've been looking for since 2006, and I think this year we're very prepared for that."
Offensively, the Venezuelan team is stacked, with Elvis Andrus, Asdrubal Cabrera, Miguel Cabrera, Carlos Gonzalez, Miguel Montero and Pablo Sandoval all listed on the provisional roster.
But starting pitching is developing into a concern.
Sojo said Tuesday that Red Sox pitchers Felix Doubront and Franklin Morales have bowed out, opting to stay in camp with their team all spring. The Marlins' Henderson Alvarez, per ESPNdeportes.com, is also likely out despite being named on the provisional roster. Mets starter Johan Santana, who has expressed a desire to play, isn't expected to get insured because he finished last season on the disabled list. And the Rockies' Jhoulys Chacin has the same issue because he compiled more than 60 days on the DL last year.
That leaves Team Venezuela without much in the rotation beyond Felix Hernandez, Anibal Sanchez and Carlos Zambrano. And in a pool with the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, that could be an issue.
"We have some question marks there [in the pitching staff], but we keep working," Sojo said. "We have until the 20th to finalize the roster. Offensively, we have a little bit of everything. Pitching is what we're trying to nail down to reach our goal and finalize the team."
Cora enjoying time as GM for Puerto Rican team
HERMOSILLO, Mexico -- For a good portion of his 14-year career, Alex Cora's future as a Major League coach or manager had been considered a foregone conclusion.
But he's really starting to like this whole general manager thing.
"This experience may have made me change my mind," said Cora, the former infielder who's serving as a first-year GM for Puerto Rico's Criollos de Caguas in the Caribbean Series.
"A lot of people saw me more on the field, either as a coach or as a manager or whatever. But honestly -- and it's not because I don't think it'll go well [as a coach] -- there's just something about putting together a team, about planning a roster from Day 1, and continuing to build it and watch it grow that I really like."
Cora said he's already been contacted by a couple of Major League organizations about serving in some coaching capacity, but has had to turn those opportunities down. That, however, has more to do with his 9-year-old daughter, Camila, whom he wants to spend the majority of the summer with in Puerto Rico.
Cora, who last played for the Nationals in 2011 and has spent several winters in the Puerto Rico Baseball League, will do 40 nights of TV work for ESPN's "Baseball Tonight" during the season, but that's a far more flexible schedule than any big league gig.
"For me, it's important to be with [Camila] for an entire summer," Cora said, "and that's why I still haven't been looking to sign a contract with anybody for any position."
Cora's Puerto Rico club dropped its first three games of this Caribbean Series, but beat a loaded Dominican Republic team in extra innings Monday and on Tuesday defeated Venezuela, 4-1, thanks to solid bullpen work and five combined hits by Jesus Feliciano and Ramon Castro. Venezuela and Puerto Rico are both 2-3, with two games left before Thursday's championship.
There's still work to be done in Puerto Rico, which hasn't put nearly as much resources into baseball as other Latin American nations in recent years. And Cora wants to be a big part of the efforts.
"We're not where we want to be, but I think we're better than we were two or three years ago," Cora said in Spanish. "I think the process is going to be slow. We need to keep structuring the [winter ball] league, and we have to find a way to make this work like it does in Mexico, the Dominican and Venezuela. We just have to keep working. We have a lot of young kids who got the opportunity to play this year, and that's going to give us something we can build on."
Caribbean Series showcasing flying camera
HERMOSILLO, Mexico -- Is a future component of Major League Baseball broadcasts on display at this Caribbean Series? Alejandro Mendivil, CEO of the startup company DVL Productions here in Mexico, sure hopes so.
Eight months ago, Mendivil began experimenting with a helicopter-like remote-control camera at different sporting events, and now it can be seen hovering over the fans at Estadio Sonora.
Mendivil's company was hired by Caribbean Series organizers to shoot a documentary of the event, and the floating camera -- one of four they're utilizing -- has been capturing unique bird's-eye views pregame, postgame and between innings in real time.
Its first appearance at a baseball game in Mexico was the Mexican Pacific League opener for the local Naranjeros de Hermosillo. Mendivil, who can be seen standing on top of the third-base dugout with bulky remote in hand for most of the Series, said it costs less than any other video camera used in baseball stadiums.
His hope is that it's eventually used in broadcasts for Major League games.
"Hopefully it can catch on like that," Mendivil said. "That's one of our goals."
DR clinches spot in Caribbean Series final
HERMOSILLO, Mexico -- Down two to Mexico's Yaquis de Obregon in Tuesday's eighth inning, the Dominican Republic's Leones del Escogido scored seven runs, propelling them to an 11-6 victory to clinch a spot in Thursday's Caribbean Series championship game at Estadio Sonora.
Thanks to that big frame -- sparked by a two-out, bases-loaded walk by Luis Jimenez, a two-run single by Abraham Almonte, an RBI single by Julio Lugo and a three-run homer by Jose Ramirez -- Escogido is 4-1 and in good shape to notch its third title in four years.
Thursday's finale, which starts at 7 p.m. MT and is the first of its kind at the Caribbean Series, will pin Escogido against the team with the second-best record. In the previous format, which was strictly double-round robin play, they would've already been champions -- like last year, when they clinched with two days left.
Mexico, Venezuela and Puerto Rico are all 2-3 with one game left for each. The first tiebreaker to determine teams that advance to the final is head-to-head matchups; the second is run differential.
Earlier on Tuesday, Puerto Rico's Criollos de Caguas notched a second straight victory by beating Venezuela's Navegantes de Magallanes, 4-1. Efrain Nieves pitched five innings of one-run ball, Jesus Feliciano had three hits and Ramon Castro homered for the Criollos.

Whether the issue is loss of parking rights, an unfair toll, an unfair tax or an unreasonable regulation, the following tips will be helpful when dealing with a governmental or regulating body.
1. Analyze the parties involved
In all cases, there are pros and cons to a proposal. Lately, RV owners often seem to be the prime target of negativism. They're on the defensive from those who are trying to restrict or take away their parking rights.
The motivation behind an RV-unfriendly proposal almost always stems from another citizen filing a complaint with the local authority because they feel that motorhome owners are infringing on their rights.
2. Study the law or regulation
To be effective in any campaign to to protect or restore parking rights, you must know the current and proposed law or regulation. This takes work, but most governments have Web sites, so it's possible to find information about these laws from the comfort of your own home.
Often, you can find the e-mail addresses of the persons involved by visiting the Web site of cities, counties, municipalities, townships, villages, planning boards, community associations.
3. Define your allies
Decide how to find and communicate with the people in the affected jurisdiction who are on your side. You may want to start your involvement by talking with friends, neighbors and fellow RVers. Keep your eyes and ears open, and don't hesitate to approach someone who sounds motivated.
Find and form affiliations with other RV groups. Communicate with their leaders to develop methods of getting the work to the affected people.
FMCA members, RV dealers, RV manufacturers, campground operators and RV clubs can succeed at stopping or loosening restrictions placed on the use of their RVs. Especially when they band together.
4. Decide the best outcome possible
In any political activity, rarely is it possible to achieve the ideal solution (your ideal solution) all the time. Compromise is often required. Develop the wording that represents this position and be ready to use it in all communications.
5. Identify the decision makers
This is an important step so that you can conserve the resources you have for the campaign. This step requires information gathered by people who are close to the problem, such as a councilman, city manager, zoning board member or state legislator.
Also, identify FMCA members who can help because they live close to the complainant, or who have family or personal friends who do.
6. Identify your resources
Make a list of helpers and organizations. Create an expense budget.
7. Formulate a plan of attack
Different types of issues call for different types of activism. Compare the issue or situation to the message you want to send, and then determine the most effective modes for achieving your specific goal: e-mail, Internet, telephone, newspaper editorials, testifying at hearings, meeting with decision makers.

Such a great design on the fancy scroll punch!! These lucky 8 punches are so easy to use and make such nice layouts for scrapbook pages. Highly recommend!
It is awesome but it took me a bit to get it right but I love it. The blue one is hard to find so I was happy to find it at scrapbook.com
Works well and seems to be as advertised.
Extremely disappointed in this punch. It punched three corners and hung up, couldn't get the paper out without tearing the design, even when I turned the punch over and pulled out the scraps. When tried it again, the paper wouldn't slide in because part of the punch doesn't go back into place. Read about how to return it, which involves contacting the company, so I'm just trying to pry the stuck part of the punch so I can get it to work........ hopefully. Not worth the price and trouble.

OK, I seached the internet for the error codes and found some others that had similar problems
The last time Zonelabs prompted me to upgrade I figured that I would do just the upgrade rather than the clean install. BIG MISTAKE. I just now reinstalled the full version of Zonealarm Security Suite and the problem appears to be fixed.
If anyone else is having this problem, try uninstalling Zonealarm and reinstalling. I always wondered why Zonelabs gave you the choice of upgrading vs. clean install. Now I know why. Upgrading is fraught with problems.

The Kings honored Jim Fox before they played host to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night at Staples Center. Then they tried to equal a franchise record with their ninth consecutive victory as Jonathan Quick attempted to tie another club record and Darryl Sutter went for a milestone win.
Fox, a former player and team executive who is celebrating his 24th season as Bob Miller's sidekick in the broadcast both, was given a standing ovation by early-arriving fans. Fox thanked everyone from his wife to former teammates and, of course, Miller.
Then they dropped the puck and all the good feelings slipped away slowly but certainly. Mason Raymond's go-ahead goal in the third period sent the Maple Leafs to a 3-2 victory. The Kings built a 2-0 lead in the first period, but lost it all after Raymond scored a short-handed goal.
Marian Gaborik and Anze Kopitar scored first-period goals to put the Kings on pace to tie a franchise record with their ninth consecutive win. It was Gaborik's first goal since the Kings acquired him in a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets at the NHL's trade deadline March 5.
Gaborik also assisted on Kopitar's power-play goal, a beauty of a one-timed shot off a cross-ice pass from defenseman Drew Doughty. At that moment, it seemed the Kings were headed for their ninth straight victory, tying a record set in 2009-10.
Gaborik's goal wasn't exactly highlight-reel material. It was the kind of goal that would please Sutter, however. Gaborik skated hard to the net and then punched home a rebound after former Kings goalie Jonathan Bernier saved Doughty's shot from the right wing.
Meanwhile, Quick tried to turn back the Maple Leafs in order to gain his 171st victory with the Kings, tying him with Rogie Vachon for the franchise record. Quick played in his 324th game with the Kings on Thursday. Vachon set his mark in a club-record 389 games in goal between 1971-78.
Sutter went into the game with a 499-371-153 record, which included a 90-51-22 mark with the Kings. He led them to their only Stanley Cup championship, in 2012, and then to the Western Conference finals last season.
In the end, Bernier's first game at Staples Center since the Kings traded him to the Maple Leafs last summer was overshadowed by the festivities and approaching milestones. Bernier was given a rude welcome by some Kings fans, who jeered him.
Bernier was pulled from the game to start the second period, replaced by James Reimer after giving up two goals on 15 shots in the first period. The Maple Leafs said Bernier suffered a lower-body injury and would not return to the game.
Defensemen Dion Phaneuf (power play) and Carl Gunnarsson rallied the Maple Leafs. Raymond's shorthanded goal came only seconds after Kopitar was denied by Reimer on a point-blank try from near the left goal post.

Video shows New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez with homicide victim early Monday morning
Here goes the theory of accidental weapon discharge.Video images taken early Monday morning appear to show New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez together on Fayston Street in Boston with a Dorchester man whose bullet-ridden body was discovered later that day in a North Attleborough industrial park near Hernandez's house, according to two law enforcement officials
Police were still at the scene today where Odin Lloyd's body was discovered. (Jessica Rinaldi for The Boston Globe)
Hernandez, an up-and-coming NFL star, is not cooperating with the police, according to a law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation.
Existence of the video evidence -- and a second video showing Hernandez later that morning in North Attleboro — came to light Thursday as police continued to search the industrial park where the body of Odin L. Lloyd, 27, an acquaintance of Hernandez and a semi-pro football player, was discovered. The source of the videos was not immediately clear.
"He was killed where they found the body," said one law enforcement official. "He was shot multiple times."
Investigators have not declared Hernandez a suspect, though police moved swiftly to speak to him after Lloyd was found slain. State police searched Hernandez's sprawling home on Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday they scoured the site where Lloyd was found dead, looking for shell casings, said two officials.
Investigators are trying to discern a possible motive as they continue to work to build a case, said one official.
Reporters have staked out Hernandez's home for days, as questions continue to build about his connection to Lloyd.
In a surreal scene uncannily reminiscent of OJ Simpson's infamous white Bronco chase, 19 years ago this week, TV news helicopters on Thursday trailed Hernandez's white SUV from the sky, following him from his home to Gillette Stadium, in nearby Foxborough, and to his lawyer's office in Boston. He declined to speak to a surge of media when he stopped at a gas station.
An attorney for Hernandez, Michael Fee, emerged around 8 p.m. from the mall entrance to Ropes & Gray, a law firm in the Prudential Center. As a small group of reporters followed him asking questions, he said his client had left the building, though did not say when. He declined to comment on the substance of the meeting.
Fee did not return a call and email seeking comment.
Meanwhile in Florida, lawyers for a man who claims Hernandez shot him in February, leaving him disfigured and half-blind, re-filed a federal lawsuit seeking damages against the football player. The case, originally filed last week, had been withdrawn on Monday so that an error could be fixed in the text of the complaint. .
Alexander Bradley, 30, of East Hartford, claims in the suit that Hernandez pointed a gun at him after an argument in a Miami strip club and — either intentionally or through negligence — fired.
On Fayston Street, where Lloyd's family lives at the edge of Blue Hill Avenue, grief arrived in twos and threes as mourners stopped by on Thursday.
His family, which has roots in Antigua, placed several of Lloyd's sports trophies on the rail of their front porch. A framed photograph set amid the trophies showed Lloyd in blue football uniform with what appears to be the number 82.
Grieving neighbors and family were filled with disbelief and questions about Lloyd's death and the connection to Hernandez.

Winslow to the Pats for three first rounders. Idzik is a genius!
Regarding the gunshots, a .22 isn't as loud as conventional calibers. I'm curious as to what gun/firearm was used here. I'm skeptical that the neighbors heard "gunshots" a mile away if a .22 was used. I think it was done in the house, hence the cleaning crew. Why would he want to scrub fingerprints? The connection is easy there? He'd have to scrub the prints in the Suburban as well.
A .22 is a good execution weapon because it is easily suppressed.
If true in the article, Hernandez, and/or his cohorts are even more stupid.
Just heard on 98.5 Sports Hub/WBZ News in Boston that Hernandez had a warrant issued for his arrest and Obstruction of Justice is the most serious charge

There was a report that the Florida case involving Clazzy Patriot Hernandez was dropped as a criminal investigation by authorities because Bradley the victim refused at that time to cooperate and identity his assailant, Hernandez, the Patriot murderer
Thus the civil suit now
I guess what's really coming out of this is that none of you really knows how to steer clear of trouble? I always have. If I see someone even a close friend doing something that could land me in a bad situation I get the f*ck out of there.
And that's really what I feel all of you are finding hard to grasp. Don't hang out with scumbags. It's that simple.
And like I already posted, when it comes to lawyering up because you think it is the important thing to do, don't hold your breath for me to do the same.
Innocent people have NOTHING to hide.
Not so sure Charlie.
There appear to be equally as many chowds defending Hernandez, the Murderer. There's this one clown, Joker, for instance, (who by the way, seems to be uncomfortably familiar with the penitentiary system) who is now blaming the media and Jet fans for unfairly persecuting poor Aaron and the great, honest and ethical Patriot organization
WHY? Because they are GUILTY and they do not want to get caught.
Innocent people do not care about hiding things because they KNOW they are INNOCENT.
So I don't care about your youtube video. I've always spoken to the cops in a polite tone and found that they are (with installed exceptions) just trying to do there job.
They are not INTERESTED in framing people. They want to catch the REAL guy. The guy that actually has blood on his hands. They are NOT interested in convictions. They would NEVER want to be falsely imprisoned and therefore they do NOT want to do it to anyone else.
I can't believe this outpouring of OJ Simpson disciples.
INNOCENT people have NOTHING to hide..
Back on topic..
No one could possibly think that AH is the sharpest knife in the drawer, patsy fans?
This kis is doing everything he can to make himself look guilty as hell if these reports are actually true. And all this is doing is fueling the cops pursuit. Regardless, of what he thinks he's destroying the cops will get it anyway.
At this point, this can only lead to one conclusion. AH is going to walk the plank for something. He is definitely guilty of something.
On the league front, you posters can say anything you want. AH is going to pay the price with Goodell. If it is something far less serious than murder, like say obstruction of justice? Like so many here think it could be?
AH's a$$ will be grass and Goodell will be the lawnmower.
And it's absolutely shocking to me that AH cannot realize the cause/effect of his actions before he actually committed them. He actually had NO idea that he had the world by the short and curlies if he only just steered the f*ck out of the way of situations like this? He couldn't have.
The charges can be upgraded or added on to anytime during the investigation.... this is just what he will be initially charged with.

He's ruined his career and person is dead. He's not just dumb, he's a rotten human piece of excrement unless there's something that changes what this looks like significantly. It doesn't matter what team he plays for, if he (at the very least) is obstructing justice while that young man's family grieves the death of their son/brother/etc, he's a POS.

Just whose God are we debating anyway?
Debating God is tough work. For starters, in most circumstances, the audience is not on your side. Agnostics and atheists are the minority in a country where the population describes itself as either religious or very religious. Secondly, anyone debating against the existence of God seems to have the difficult task of trying to disprove the idea, rather than rightly asking any of the claimants for proof. Fi ...Read more ›

The 2009 flu pandemic is a global outbreak of a new strain of influenza virus, identified in April 2009, and commonly referred to as "swine flu". It is thought to be a mutation—more specifically, a reassortment—of four known strains of the influenza A virus, subtype H1N1: one endemic in (normally infecting) humans, one endemic in birds, and two endemic in pigs (swine). Experts assume the virus "most likely" emerged from pigs in Asia, and was carried to North America by infected persons. There is also evidence that the new strain had been circulating among pigs on other continents for years before infecting humans. Virtually all transmission is human to human, with cooked pork products safe to eat as the virus cannot be transmitted by eating foods.
The outbreak began in Mexico, and there is evidence that Mexico was already in the midst of an epidemic for months before the outbreak was recognized. Soon after, their government closed down most of Mexico City's public and private offices and facilities to help contain the spread. In early June, as the virus spread globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak to be a pandemic, while also noting that the virus has so far been of "moderate severity." The virus has continued to spread worldwide, especially in the Southern Hemisphere which was in its winter flu season, and to many less developed countries with limited healthcare systems. In July, because the virus was spreading internationally with "unprecedented speed", WHO announced that it would no longer require countries to submit reports of cases, but would continue to monitor "unusual events", such as outbreak clusters or surges. Laboratories were also becoming overwhelmed simply testing for the flu which was putting healthcare systems under stress.
The virus typically spreads from coughs and sneezes or by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the nose or mouth. Symptoms are similar to those of seasonal flu, and may include fever, sneezes, sore throat, coughs, headache, and muscle or joint pains. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that most hospitalizations have been of people that also had underlying conditions such as asthma, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, or a weakened immune system. In an attempt to slow the spread of the illness, a number of countries, especially in Asia, have enforced strict quarantines of airline passengers showing flu symptoms, including passengers seated nearby any infected persons. A number of airlines have also begun pre-screening passengers before they travel.
WHO does not expect to have a full vaccine before the end of 2009, and if any is available before that time the supply will be limited, while some countries are hoping to have vaccines earlier.[citation needed] The CDC states that two or three vaccine injections will be required for maximum immunity from both the swine flu and seasonal flu. There is also concern that the virus could mutate later in the year and become more virulent and less susceptible to any new vaccine.
Although most cases worldwide have been mild, experts are still very concerned, partly due to the memory of the 1918 flu pandemic, which is thought to have killed between 40 million and 100 million people, and was preceded by a wave of milder cases in the spring. In addition, Dr Anne Schuchat from CDC thinks, "this is a virus that's capable of causing a spectrum of illness that includes severe complications and death". "It's very important we take this virus seriously".

The airline is dedicating this aircraft to James Rao, the son of Dr Kiran Rao, Airbus Executive Vice President; who recently lost his life to cancer at the age of 21. This 150th Airbus A320, which will be operated by Malaysia AirAsia (flight code AK) is dedicated to celebrate James' life and his name was etched onto the aircraft to commemorate his life. James obtained his Commercial Pilots License in 2012 and was a First Officer flying the Airbus A320 aircraft. James had been an inspiration to many young people, achieving his dream of flying the A320 at such a young age and his active work in engaging with underprivileged children and orphans in Mumbai, India. To continue with his son's legacy, Dr. Kiran Rao has set up a foundation aptly named 'James Rao, Live Your Dream' with the vision to help young people live their dreams and inspire them to be pilots. Tony Fernandes, Group CEO of AirAsia said, "Kiran is a dear friend, and I've had the privilege to know James personally over the years. He was a great kid with a big heart. I have seen the good work he was doing with underprivileged children. We are glad to partner Kiran's family and contribute towards the 'James Rao, Live Your Dream' foundation which will help provide a platform to support more young people to become pilots." The A320 single-aisle jetliner family is the world's best-selling, single-aisle aircraft family. It is used in a full range of services from very short-haul airline routes to intercontinental segments. AirAsia stamps its dominance in Asia with a record total of 475 single aisle A320s and A320neos on order with Airbus with deliveries up to year 2026. "The Airbus A320 aircraft has contributed immensely towards our business model and our operations as a group. We run a 100% Airbus A320 fleet across Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and now India and look forward to continue our long-standing relationship with Airbus for many more aircraft to come in our expanding fleet," added Tony Fernandes. AirAsia is also the world's first airline which took delivery of an Airbus A320 aircraft installed with Sharklet wing tips, becoming the first operator of the new fuel-saving large wing tip devices and the world's first operator outside of China of a fully-assembled Airbus A320 aircraft from Tianjin, China. At present, the AirAsia Group operates 167 Airbus A320s, which 150 aircraft are direct orders from Airbus; and services the most extensive network across the region with 88 destinations.

TMB Allows Expedited Partner Therapy
I hadn't heard this, and think it's a generally good idea.
Physicians now may treat the sex partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia or gonorrhea without first examining the partner, thanks to an amendment adopted by the Texas Medical Board (TMB).
The amendment allowing expedited partner therapy took effect June 24.
TMB amended its rules to allow a physician to provide for a person with whom he or she does not have a "proper professional relationship … the prescription of drugs for a partner of a patient who may have a sexually transmitted disease."
The Texas Register notice of the amendment says TMB "determined that the amendment to the rule addresses a serious public health issue and is intended to allow physicians to treat persons with sexually transmitted diseases as early as possible or prevent such persons from contracting sexually transmitted diseases from their partners. The board finds that the amendment will allow for the immediate treatment of sexually transmitted diseases contracted by partners of patients and therefore remove a current peril to the public health, safety or welfare."
The Texas Department of State Health Services has developed a fact sheet [PDF] on expedited partner therapy.
This specifically excludes treatment of men who have sex with men due to their need to be tested for HIV, etc.
From a Public Health standpoint this makes sense. I wonder about how to write a prescription for a partner, and documentation requirements surrounding that. Double the Rx for the patient in front of me and tell them to share their pills like other things? Get the partners' name, and write a second Rx (which then has me potentially writing a prescription to a patient who's allergic to the medication…).
Advice from the peanut gallery?

Adoptive Breastfeeding Beyond Infancy
Karleen Gribble
Niagara Park NSW Australia
From: LEAVEN, Vol. 40 No. 5, October-November 2004, pp. 99-102.
Not many people know that it is possible to breastfeed newborn adopted babies and fewer still have actually done it. However, many children are adopted well past the newborn stage.
In Australia, where I live, there are no newborn adoptions, so adoptive breastfeeding is an interesting proposition. At what age is it no longer possible to initiate breastfeeding in an adopted child? Some have said six months, others have said a year. What is the real answer? As a researcher in the area of adoptive breastfeeding as well as the mother of a daughter adopted as a toddler, this is a question in which I have both a personal and professional interest.
Delving into the literature as I prepared for the adoption of my daughter, I discovered that very little had been written about initiating breastfeeding beyond the newborn stage. In fact, the only description of breastfeeding an older adopted baby that I could find was Darillyn Starr's article, "Nursing Julia: My Supreme Challenge," in the 1993 September-October issue of NEW BEGINNINGS, in which she describes how she approached breastfeeding with her daughter who started nursing at one year of age.
After I located Darillyn via the Internet, I asked her lots of questions and enlisted her support as I looked forward to the adoption of my own daughter. As it turned out, following my experience with adoptive breastfeeding, Darillyn and I teamed together to collect the experiences of women who have attempted to breastfeed children adopted as non-newborns for an ongoing research study. The information contained in this article is a summary of what we have discovered thus far.
How Likely Is It That an Adopted Child Will Breastfeed?
This is a very difficult question to answer because there are so many variables. Although it is not often talked about, it is relatively common for adopted children, ranging in age from babies to school aged at placement, to indicate a desire to breastfeed from their new mothers. Some children appear to have a conscious memory of previous breastfeeding experience. In others, the desire may be more deeply rooted in subconscious memory of early life and their relationship with their birth mother (Gribble 2003). In either case, allowing the child to breastfeed is beneficial.
How easily older children will learn to breastfeed depends on their history of past care and their personality. If the child is under nine or 10 months of age and has been well cared for (i.e., excellent foster care since birth), there is a good chance that the child will take to breastfeeding easily.
However, if the child has not been in good care (i.e., institutional care, multiple placements, or hospitalization) or is older than nine or 10 months at placement, there is less likelihood that the child will breastfeed immediately. Such children appear to need time to build a relationship of trust with their new mother in order to be able to tolerate the physical and emotional closeness associated with breastfeeding.
It is also likely that breastfeeding will need to be introduced slowly to an adopted child. A child who is relatively young and has been in "good" institutional care will likely take several weeks. Older children, and those whose care has been poor or who have experienced abuse, may need months, perhaps many months, before they are willing to breastfeed. For some children breastfeeding may not ever be possible.
Strategies for Encouraging Breastfeeding
It is a good idea for mothers to approach the possibility of breastfeeding their older adopted child with the expectation that it may take some time. Nevertheless, it is always worth a try to just offer and see what happens. An initial rejection does not mean that the child will never breastfeed or that the mother should stop gently encouraging the child to breastfeed. There are many different ways that mothers can try to encourage their child to breastfeed, but the most important thing is for them to be both patient and persistent. It is also vital that they do not attempt to force their child to breastfeed; not only will this not work, but it could create an aversion to the breast and make the situation more difficult.
One strategy frequently used to help a baby who is still receiving bottles is to gradually make bottle feeding more like breastfeeding. This might include holding the child in the "breastfeeding position" while they are being bottle-fed (facing toward the mother's chest), using a slow-flow bottle teat (nipple), changing sides while bottle feeding, and bottle feeding with baby next to the mother's bare breasts. These simple changes help some babies to be willing to breastfeed. Some mothers have had success with threading the tube of a breastfeeding (nursing) supplementer through a bottle teat or nipple shield. It is then placed over the top of the mother's nipple so that the child is able to obtain milk from the supplementer. Mothers have also filled a bottle teat with milk and placed it over their nipple. Once the child is used to obtaining milk in this way, the teat or shield can be removed, leading to direct suckling from the breast. It is a good idea to make any changes in feeding when the baby is relaxed and happy. Many mothers find that their baby first latches on when full after a bottle feed or when sleepy. It is very important that mothers make changes slowly as they bring their children to breastfeeding. They also need to be mindful of their children's past feeding experiences.
Many adoptive families have found that children from orphanages are used to being bottle fed quickly from teats with very large holes. Bottle feeding for those babies, has often been a case of getting the milk in without choking on the fast flow. Changing gradually from fast-flow to medium, and then to slow-flow teats will not only prepare the child for the slower flow of breastfeeding, but may also allow them to recapture what should be a natural pleasure for a baby in sucking for food.
Mothers of children who are no longer bottle feeding at placement sometimes find it helpful to reintroduce bottle feeding as a step toward breastfeeding. Others just offer the child the opportunity to suckle at the breast, perhaps using the methods described earlier (e.g., bottle teat over their own nipple). Children will often start with an occasional quick lick of the nipple, progress to a one-second suck, and gradually build from there to breastfeeding. It is important to remember that something that did not work this week might work next week; anything is worth trying because you never know what might work.
It is important to remember that the intimacy associated with breastfeeding may initially be overwhelming to adopted children. Most progress will be seen when they are feeling secure. Thus, reducing stress for the child is a priority. Another point to take into consideration is that newly adopted children are often very observant as they learn how to live in a different environment, and this can work to the advantage of a mother wishing to breastfeed. It is helpful for mothers to be around breastfeeding couples and to look at pictures of breastfeeding in books so the child can see others breastfeeding. Obtaining video footage or placing a breastfeeding poster in a prominent position in the home may also be helpful. Pointing out the mother and child in breastfeeding couples and making comparisons to their own relationship (i.e., "I'm your mother, you are my baby.") allows children to learn that breastfeeding is normal behavior between mothers and babies. Children adopted at greater than one year of age who have successfully breastfed have almost always been in environments where they have seen a lot of breastfeeding.
An adoptive mother who wishes to breastfeed will find it helpful to concentrate on developing trust and attachment with her child. Breastfeeding is a very intimate act and new adoptive mothers are strangers to their children. It is the transformation from "stranger" to "mother" in a child's eyes that will enable breastfeeding. Many things can be done to facilitate this, including:
- mother remaining in close physical contact with her child (e.g., cosleeping, co-bathing, and carrying the child in a sling);
- being responsive to the child's needs;
- playing games with the baby that involve initiating eye contact;
- hand feeding even if the child can feed himself;
- limiting separation and contact with others.
All of these activities are worth doing, not just for the sake of breastfeeding, but because they will also help to develop the attachment relationship, which is vitally important for every child's long-term well being (Gray 2002). Even mothers whose children didn't end up breastfeeding have said they felt that working toward breastfeeding was extremely beneficial to their developing relationship, and therefore they have positive feelings about their attempts to breastfeed.
How Breastfeeding Helps Adopted Children
There are a number of reasons why breastfeeding is especially significant for adopted children. Many non-newborns placed for adoption have experienced abuse, neglect, or multiple placements, and have also been institutionalized or hospitalized. In addition, all adopted children have experienced the loss of their birth mother. Such histories can make it difficult for children to develop positive relationships with their new parents (Gray 2002; Hughes 1997). Mothers who have breastfed their adopted children have observed these behaviors:
- prolonged eye contact;
- calming and comfort;
- removal of tension;
- emotional vulnerability;
- an increase in the child's desire to be with them;
- melding of the child to their body (cuddliness);
- reduction in pain;
- gentle behaviors in older children reminiscent of the actions of young babies (e.g., placement of their fingers in their mother's mouth, stroking of their mother's face);
- a softening of their own attitude toward their child;
- feeling more connected to their child (Gribble 2003).
Thus, as the mother provides comfort to her child through her own body, suckling at the breast strengthens the attachment relationship.
Mothers have also found that breastfeeding will help to calm their child when distressed or overwhelmed. Being able to comfort children by breastfeeding them has been highly significant for mothers whose children previously rejected comforting. The breastfeeding of a child who has had a rough time pre-placement is especially meaningful, because breastfeeding provides great closeness between mother and child and requires a high level of trust and acceptance.
Children with difficult histories are at risk of having attachment issues, and therefore often have a great need to be in control of situations. It was this very self-reliance that enabled them to survive prior to adoption. As a result, post-adoption they may try to keep control of relationships with his or her parents (Thomas 2000). However, there is a physical acceptance of the mother when a child breastfeeds and adoptive mothers have also described an associated emotional, spiritual, and intellectual acceptance that they see as part of the healing process for their children.
Mothers have also described how their children use breastfeeding and the related physical closeness to regulate themselves in a similar way to infants who use their mothers as regulators of their emotional life and physiology (Hofer 1994). When children have become disorganized or stressed they seek breastfeeding as a way of connecting with their mothers and centering themselves.
Mothers' Doubts
Initiating breastfeeding beyond infancy is not something every mother wants to try. Many mothers who work toward breastfeeding express concern that they may be selfish in trying to "impose" breastfeeding on their children. They can be reassured that breastfeeding is a part of normal development and there is no harm in gently encouraging a child to breastfeed. Moreover, children who initially resist breastfeeding sometimes end up becoming enthusiastic breastfeeders who clearly benefit from it.
In addition, adoption experts often suggest that newly adopted children be given the opportunity to be bottle-fed (an artificial substitute for breastfeeding) at least once a day, regardless of the age of the child (Hopkins-Best 1998). This is because the emotional age of a child may be very different from their chronological age. It is often suggested that the emotional age of a child be gauged by how long he or she has been in his or her adoptive family. Breastfeeding can help nurture the baby inside the older body.
Attempting to breastfeed an older adopted child does not always go as planned. Some mothers wonder if it might be safer for their own emotional health not to even attempt breastfeeding because they may "fail." If breastfeeding is something that a mother wishes to do and she decides not to attempt it, she may find later that she has regrets and wonders what would have happened if she had tried. If a mother decides to try to breastfeed her older adopted child, it is probably a good idea to approach it with the goal of doing the best she can and determine that she will enjoy any amount of success she has along the way. At the same time, she should be prepared to grieve if her desire for breastfeeding is not fully met; loss of the breastfeeding relationship she desired is a very real loss.
LLL Leaders' Role
La Leche League Leaders have an important role to play in supporting and encouraging mothers who wish to breastfeed their older adopted children. Sharing this article, as well as other adoptive and general breastfeeding information, will be helpful. Professional Liaison Leaders are valuable resources for Leaders who do not yet have sufficient knowledge or experience to assist mothers in the practical aspects of adoptive breastfeeding. However, adoptive mothers need a Leader's encouragement and support more than anything else. It is likely that many of those working toward breastfeeding will take some time to achieve their goals and they may have no other supporters.
La Leche League Groups can also assist in providing a "breastfeeding culture" for the new mother and child—an environment within which they can both see breastfeeding and where breastfeeding is encouraged. This will greatly increase the likelihood that an older adopted child will breastfeed. La Leche League Groups are also environments that support a style of parenting that promotes child-mother attachment, and hence, breastfeeding. Leaders can encourage adoptive mothers to attend La Leche League meetings and ensure that Group meetings welcome the adoptive mother who may not yet have her child placed or who may be bottle feeding her child. Leaders can also encourage mothers to access other adoptive mothers breastfeeding older adopted children via Internet support groups (Gribble 2001).

Karleen Gribble is an Australian Breastfeeding Association Community Educator and Adjunct Research Fellow in the School of Nursing, Family and Community Health at the University of Western Sydney. Her research interests focus on adoptive breastfeeding (particularly on breastfeeding of older children and the contribution of breastfeeding to the development of secure attachment in adopted children) and the non-nutritional impact of breastfeeding (including breastfeeding of older children). She is mother to two children: one breastfed, biological child and one child adopted from China, who started breastfeeding at three-and-a-half years old. Special thanks to Norma Ritter, who was the Contributing Editor in the development of this article.
Editor's Note: This article provides a new perspective on adoptive breastfeeding beyond infancy. While this is not an issue that many LLL Leaders encounter, the information will inform and expand the mind so that Leaders can continue to help and support all mothers who wish to breastfeed their babies.
The information in this article comes from an ongoing study of older adoptive breastfeeding. Leaders who are in contact with mothers who have attempted to breastfeed a child four months or older at placement, whether successfully or not, are invited to let mothers know about the study. For more information contact Karleen Gribble at karleeng at uws.edu.au.
We can only further our understanding of this specialized area of breastfeeding when the experts in older adoptive breastfeeding—the mothers who have done it—share their experiences. So, how old is too old to breastfeed? There is no definitive answer, but the study thus far includes mothers of children from four months to more than three years at placement who have successfully breastfed.

A part of a crane crashed into a window at 3 World Trade Center, still under construction, fire officials say.
The FDNY says construction crews were wrapping up for the day Thursday and setting the crane in place when the wind picked up and sent the crane attachment into a window on the 12th floor, cracking it.
Nothing fell to the ground, and no one was hurt, fire officials said.
Tishman Construction said in a statement, "Although a glass panel was cracked, nothing fell or is in danger of falling. Further, there were no injuries and the incident was completely contained within the site perimeter. Safety inspectors and authorities are on site and looking into the incident. The panel will be replaced."
The future 80-story building is one of three skyscrapers replacing the Twin Towers destroyed in a terror attack 15 years ago. It's expected to open in early 2018.

CARSON, Calif. – Following Sunday's 1-0 defeat to the Houston Dynamo, Sean Franklin wanted one thing: to forget about his showing in the LA Galaxy loss.
The right back was decent on the defensive end, but seemed to struggle with his distribution as six of his seven crosses were unsuccessful while he was also dispossessed a total of 19 times on the night.
After the game, Franklin was brutally honest about his showing.
"I think that my performance wasn't the greatest; I have to do better in the final third and making the right pass and the right crosses," Franklin told LA Galaxy Insider. "I thought defensively I was okay, but my passing and crossing was awful. I just made the right decision knowing late in the game that we need balls in the box. Quality balls, not just balls whipped in, but good service and at the end of the day, I wasn't good enough."
It didn't help that the player that he was assigned to mark, Houston's Andrew Driver enjoyed a strong game that included the game's only goal in the 56th minute of play.
"He's a great player. He's crafty, he's quick. He scored a good goal tonight. I thought in the first half, he was a little bit quiet, but in the second half, he came out and got his goal," said Franklin. "Give their team credit, they got their goal and they defended well. On the day, it was just something that the team and myself need a better game."
This week Franklin will have a chance to redeem himself as the Galaxy hit the road for a three match trip that begins on Saturday against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
"It's tough, we just have to forget about this one and figure out what we did wrong and get this right," Franklin said. "We have a long week till the game so we have plenty of time to get our mind right."

|Climbed South Baldy via Trail #11 starting from 7,600 ft. 7.6 mi round trip. Deep snow above 8,800 ft all the way to the summit (snowshoes came handy). It was snowing most of the time, but cleared up just to get some views from summit ridge.

|We drove to a point and walked the rest in the snow, and was fairly deep and extremely windy up top. Dog not happy, but managed to get in some views before a big storm rolled in.

Date Climbed: Mar 29, 2008
|Climbed up to South Baldy via Copper Canyon, and shuttled down the road. The hike seemed long through the canyon, but once on the ridge the hike was extremely pleasant. The views are expansive and spectacular. Admittedly, it did seem a bit of a let down to crest the last ridge and see a road and the observatory. On the bright side...it was nice to take a car back down.

ATLANTA -- The Cavaliers ran into another one of those difference-makers.
In the last four or five games, they haven't been able to overcome great nights by All-Star-caliber players.
It happened again on Wednesday, as guard Joe Johnson fired in 23 points in the Hawks' 98-84 victory over the Cavs before 12,610 at Philips Arena.
The Cavs (8-21) have now lost 12 of their last 13 games overall. Their losing streak on the road has stretched to 12 in a row.
They battled against the Hawks (19-12), and trailed by seven points with 6 minutes, 37 seconds remaining in the game.
That's when Johnson drained back-to-back 3-pointers to put the game out of reach.
"That's what great players do," Scott said. "You look at our last four or five games, it's been Dwyane Wade, Danny Granger, Deron Williams and Joe Johnson.
"They are difference-makers. Joe is not an All-Star for nothing. When they needed some big shots, he made them."
It was only his fourth contest back after missing nine games with right elbow surgery. The 6-foot-7, 240-pounder made 9 of 17 from the field and 3 of 6 from behind the arc. He added seven assists and five rebounds.
The Hawks were bigger and stronger at almost every starting position. Perhaps the biggest mismatch was at shooting guard, where Johnson was being defended by 6-2, 200-pound Daniel Gibson.
"Joe is a great player," Gibson said. "I could be 6-9, and I'm not going to stop him. We tried to make things tough on him.
"I don't even think I was guarding him when he made those two trifectas. The two 3s gave them separation."
Gibson said he's not about to back down from a defensive assignment such as guarding Johnson.
"You can't guard guys like that individually," he said. "It's more of a team thing. With my heart, I don't care if you're 7-feet, I'm going to play you as hard as I can."
Besides the Hawks' size and athleticism, the Cavs played in scramble mode just to compete.
"Our game plan worked pretty (well)," Cavs guard Mo Williams said. "They made tough shots at key times."
The Cavs trailed by three points at halftime, 49-46.
The Hawks, who have won eight in a row at home, connected on their first eight shots of the third quarter to open up a double-digit lead.
"We ran into a buzz saw in that third quarter," Scott said. "When we face a team that is as a good as they are and as athletic as they are, obviously, it's an uphill battle.
"We knew December and January were the toughest part of our schedule."
Forward Antawn Jamison paced the Cavs with 23 points, seven rebounds and two blocks. He made 10 of 16 from the field.
Williams recorded his fourth double-double in a row with 18 points and a game-high 11 assists. Center Anderson Varejao continued his assault on the boards with a game-high 13 rebounds.
Hawks center Al Horford had 18 points and eight rebounds, while forward Josh Smith had 16 points and 11 rebounds. The Hawks shot 50.6 percent from the field.
The Cavs will take the next two days off and get back on the practice court on Christmas afternoon.
Scott wasn't being a Scrooge. The players voted on it.
"Instead of practicing in between days, if players were going to other states (for Christmas), it'd be better to have those two days off," Williams said. "A lot of teams are doing that."

Reality TV star Richard Hatch has won his latest challenge – he's getting out of jail.
The first season "Survivor" winner will be released from a Massachusetts jail cell today after having served a 51-month sentence for tax evasion on his $1 million dollar game show winnings, The Associated Press reports.
After being allowed to serve out part of the sentence from his Newport R.I. home earlier this year, Hatch was sent back to jail following a series of unauthorized TV interviews in August.
Afterward, Hatch complained that he had been punished for speaking out against the judge and prosecutor in his case.
His release is no get-out-of-jail-free card.
Hatch must still pay back taxes, enroll in a mental health program and serve three years of probation, according to the AP.

What is Soul?
Rain International's Soul is the first product of its kind on the Michigan health market. Soul is seed-based and contains the concentrated nutrition of the Black Cumin Seed, the Black Raspberry Seed, and the Chardonnay Grape Seed. These seeds have been studied extensively for their crucial health benefits and some have been found to be so dynamic that their compounds are used as natural medicines in Europe.
Taking a supplement without knowing its effects can be detrimental. Today's post explains how Soul sustains optimal health by highlighting three essential benefits.
Neutralizes Free Radicals
If you want to increase your health, you need to be on the defensive against dangerous assaults from the outside and, ironically, the inside of the body. One of the inside threats is the natural production of free radicals that lead to cell degeneration. As we age, free radical production accelerates. Black Raspberry Seed neutralizes free radicals to increase cell function.
Soul Supports Brain Function
The Chardonnay Grape Seed is a source of powerful flavonoids which benefit mental functions including memory and concentration. As a critical bonus, Soul sustains emotional health, as well.
Soul Boosts Immunity
Perhaps you have heard that inflammation is dangerous. What's the trouble with it? There are multiple dangers, but decreased immunity is a biggie. Soul's powerful seed blend diminishes inflammation which, in turn, benefits your immune system. Soul also aids in resisting infection – another ever-present health threat.
Future posts will consider additional crucial health benefits Soul delivers. I'm lupe warsin, a Rain Partner seeking to introduce Soul to men and women in the St. Charles area and online through my Rain website. I see the benefits of Soul every day and am pleased that my customers and sales team Xocai are discovering its power to influence their life.

It is better to give than receive
When USA Today asked me about my favorite Christmas gifts given and received, I couldn't help but reflect on the gifts I have received through World Vision. As a donor to World Vision U.S. for 25 years -- and as its president for 13 years -- I've found that the best gifts I've received come as a result of generous giving.
Rich Stearns visits with Asteria and her daughters, Aracely, 5, and Nathaly, 3, in Bolivia, who are both sponsored children.
One Christmas, my wife Reneé and I decided to send a special $100 gift to each of our World Vision sponsored children. We have sponsored quite a few children over the years, so this wasn't an inexpensive endeavor. Yet we received tremendous joy over the following months as we heard back from those children.
Each time a "thank you" arrived in the mailbox from one of our sponsored children, it was like receiving another present. One boy wrote that he used the gift to buy his first mattress to sleep on. Another boy sent us a picture of himself wearing plaid shorts, a plaid sports coat, a new hat, and new sneakers. He was standing next to a large cow, and he wore an enormous grin. In the letter accompanying the photo, he wrote about his new clothes and "this fine bull."
Rich Stearns talks and prays with Ruth and her son, Moses, at a World Vision center for children with disabilities in Bolivia.
The joyful letters we received that year were an illustration of Luke 6:38: "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap."
One of the best gifts we have received is to watch our own children embrace these values of generous giving. One year, the whole family received a note saying that a present had been given in our name through the World Vision Gift Catalog. The greatest pleasure for Reneé and I was to know that one our own children was discovering the joy of generous giving.
As a donor and as president of World Vision U.S., I've seen how true Scripture is in our lives when it says, "Give, and it will be given unto you."

Saline defensive linemen look forward to challenge of facing talented Detroit Cass Tech front
Joseph Tobianski | AnnArbor.com
Casey Schukow and John Smutny know that when they take their positions on the Saline defensive line Friday night, they'll see some big bodies lined up across from them.
But that's nothing new.The Hornets Friday night regional final opponent, Detroit Cass Tech, features two of the four best senior offensive line recruits in the state, according to Rivals.com. David Dawson (6-foot-4, 282 pounds), has six Big Ten offers, and Dennis Finley (6-6, 285), who is committed to Michigan State.
Schukow (6-0, 275) and Smutney (6-2, 220), who anchor Saline's defensive line, will praise the two as good players, but don't come off as overly worried about it.
"We saw some film, they're big up front, they've got some really good offensive linemen, some good skill guys," Schukow said. "But you know what, we've seen big guys, we've seen fast guys. It's nothing new."
Saline will host Cass Tech, the defending Division 1 state champion, in a 7 p.m. game, with the winner advancing to face either Lake Orion or Macomb Dakota. Saline, at 10-1, has already set the school mark for single-season wins.
The Hornets' defensive line has been a big part of that, and is facing one of its toughest challenges on paper this week in Cass Tech. Last week in a second-half comeback win against Dearborn, Cass Tech recorded more than 300 yards rushing.
The Hornets defensive linemen are counting on speed and good technique to slow them down.
"It's not the strongest guy that always wins, it's the lowest one," Smutney said.
Smutney, a junior, lines up as defensive end, while Schukow is a nosetackle and defensive tackle. Hornets coach Joe Palka said both have been able to use their speed to get into opposing teams' backfields.
"They're hard to cut off, so guys on the back side, a lot of times you think you have them cut off and you don't, so that's where we make a lot of plays, from the back side," Palka said.
Having those two anchoring the line has also helped the growth of fellow starters Ben Elliott and Dominic DeMelis, Palka said, for a group that's improved throughout the year.
The two combined for three sacks last week against Pioneer, one for Smutney and two for Schukow, part of a five-sack Saline game. Schukow's second sack came late in the game, when he got a good jump on a snap, found room in the middle, and sacked Pioneer quarterback Brandon Bertoia while he was still backpedaling.
"All I remember is the center flinched his hand, and the next thing I knew I was on the quarterback," Schukow said.
Against the Pioneers last week, Saline gave up 181 yards rushing, but only 100 through the first three quarters as it jumped out to a 24-3 lead. The week before, Temperance Bedford ran for 130 yards in the opening round of the playoffs.
Cass Tech may be their toughest test yet, but it's something they're looking forward to.
"We love it, we look at is as a great opportunity," Schukow said. "To be the best you've got to beat the best. Cass Tech is a heck of a football program."

The Saline vs. Cass Tech game will be the AnnArbor.com "Game of the Week" after receiving 647 of the 853 votes (75.9 percent) in our interactive poll.

Saline's new two platooning system is a superior way to play football. Although i'm used to watching my other favorite team New England Patriots and coach Bill Belichick use it. Saline's defence will bend but not break!!! Hornets will prevail and knock off defending state champs!!! Go Hornets!!!
Wed, Nov 7, 2012 : 2:12 a.m.
Good question i'm sure their is more NFL and NCAA college football teams that use such a effective system. 1936-37 Washington Redskins and the late Ray Flaherty used the Platooning system so there is a strong history behind it.
Wed, Nov 7, 2012 : 1:54 a.m.
are you saying the Patriots are the only NFL team to two platoon? please explain??
Kyle Austin
Wed, Nov 7, 2012 : 1:44 a.m.
Good point, Craig. It didn't make it into the story, but both of the defensive linemen I talked to think the platoon system is a large part of the group's improvement. Smutney said the the team overall is much better conditioned at this point of the season.

(NNPA) – National Newspaper Publishers Association Chairman Cloves Campbell, Jr. has instructed Attorney James Belt of Dallas to "take whatever steps necessary" to collect a $418,180.12 judgment against Robert Bush, a former independent contractor responsible for advertising sales.
"I have asked Attorney Belt, who heads a special committee I appointed to bring a close to this matter, to take whatever steps necessary to collect on the order issued by U.S. District Court Judge Robert L. Wilkins," said Campbell, publisher of the Arizona Informant. "The order was issued a year ago and Mr. Bush has yet to voluntarily comply with it. Under the circumstances, we will take whatever steps needed to make sure he complies with the judge's lawful order."
Bush, who is believed to be living in Glendale, Calif., filed a suit against the NNPA in federal court in the District of Columbia.
According to the complaint filed on behalf of Bush on June 4, 2010, he was has hired to serve as NNPA's chief advertising salesperson, with an annual base salary of $120,000, plus up to 5 percent in commissions. Bush alleged that he was on target to secure at least $15 million in advertising over the first three years. However, nine months into the 5-year NNPA contract, Bush said he "was being suspended for alleged wrongdoing which [the NNPA] declined to specify."
Bush sought unspecified compensatory damages, attorney fees and costs and a jury trial.
In its response to Bush's complaint, the NNPA stated that in February 2009 Bush notified NNPA that, among other things, "he was not devoting his full time and attention" to his NNPA work "and that he was using time and resources which were to have been devoted to [the NNPA] for other matters."
When then-NNPA Chairman John B. Smith requested an accounting of his activities on April 26, 2009, Bush "stated that he would not provide the requested information." Consequently, the NNPA's executive committee voted to again request the pertinent information from Bush. After he failed to comply with a second request, the executive committee voted to suspend Bush.
According to the NNPA's counterclaim, Bush has refused to turn over company records and documents.
The case was heard by a jury in Washington, D.C., which dismissed one of the claims NNPA had made against Bush and one of Bush's claims against the NNPA. Judge Wilkins issued a partial summary judgment on April 12, 2012 authorizing the NNPA to recover $32,706.06 from Bush that had gone to him as overpaid commissions.
Judge Wilkins noted that Bush's failure to oppose NNPA's motion for attorneys' fees constituted a concession.
Wilkins wrote that it was "Further ordered that, based upon Bush's concession and the Court's thorough review of the Independent Contractor Agreement and the documentation submitted in support of NNPA's motion for attorney's fees and costs, NNPA recover from Bush the amount of $385,474.06 for attorneys' fees and costs."
James Belt, who chairs the NNPA committee set up to resolve the matter, said: "Chairman Cloves Campbell has asked me to take any and all necessary steps to recover nearly a half million dollars that we have spent defending ourselves against baseless allegations. The court's judgment was issued a year ago and we will aggressively try to make sure that another year doesn't pass without the judge's order being fully enforced."
