BERKELEY — Two days after Oregon's defense and a severe rainstorm sent Cal quarterback Jared Goff to the bench, the Bears had Goff and Zach Kline share practice time on Monday.
Coach Sonny Dykes said after the 55-16 loss to the Ducks that Goff likely would remain the starter.
"If I had to make a guess, that'd be my guess," Dykes said Monday, when asked to speculate on who will start Saturday against visiting Washington State. "We'll see how they perform this week. We felt like Zach warranted some more reps."
Meanwhile, Dykes explained that he booted junior defensive end Chris McCain from the team Sunday after "a series of things that date back for a while."
He said there was no single incident during or after the Oregon game that sparked the decision but declined to provide further details.
"Anytime you do that it's a very difficult decision, because it has an impact on a young person's life," said Dykes, adding that McCain will be kept on scholarship this year and continue to attend classes.
Senior nose tackle Deandre Coleman said he was surprised by the move.
"The team was hurt. He's a friend, he's a brother," Coleman said. "Coach is always going to do what he feels is best for the team. Most guys understood. I understand. I'm a team player."
Goff, who lost two fumbles in the first quarter at Oregon, practiced some wearing a glove. "It may be something he decides to do, may be something he hates," Dykes said.
Goff was the nation's total offense leader as a true freshman through three games. Kline, a redshirt freshman, completed 18 of 37 passes for 165 yards with a touchdown and an interception in his college debut.
Monday's practice ended nearly a half-hour early because of a campuswide power outage that prevented use of lights at Memorial Stadium.
Starting right tackle Steven Moore (head), cornerback Kam Jackson (lower leg) and reserve running back Khalfani Muhammad (head) were on the sideline, but Dykes said he expects all three to play Saturday.

Implement Evernote iPad App in Your Classroom
There are a wide variety of ways to use Evernote iPad app in your iPad classroom Once you start using the Evernote app on your classroom iPads, you'll think of even more to implement it in assignments and lectures. Here are just a few ideas for using Evernote in the classroom to get you going:
Taking class notes: Students can take class notes and organize them in notebooks for each subject. Even if they don't take the iPads home, they can access their Evernote account and notes on any computer with an Internet connection.
Sharing notebooks for group work: Notebooks can be shared. Sharing a notebook is a great way for students to work collaboratively on a group project and share research and information.
Distributing content to class: Teachers can share a notebook with students. That's a very simple way to distribute information to the class. Just create a note in the shared notebook and add the content, and it's available for all students to open and access.
Submitting work to the teacher: Sending content via e-mail to your Evernote e-mail address is a fantastic way to easily create notes on an iPad. It can also be used creatively to create a class dropbox where students can submit work to a teacher.
You can have each student add the teacher's Evernote e-mail address to the Contacts on his or her iPad. Students then send their work to the teacher's Evernote e-mail address, and bingo — it's automatically filed as a new note in the teacher's Evernote account.
Also, by simply giving the e-mail address to students, you don't give them any access to see or open any notes in the teacher's Evernote account. It won't guarantee that students submit their work on time, but each note will indicate the exact time each student submitted it.
If you're starting to feel a little cocky, why not set up a notebook in the teacher's account for a specific homework assignment or project and have the students e-mail it right into that notebook?
Blogging: Get students to set up a notebook, and keep it as a writing journal or blog. They can share it with you so you can access it and add comments.
Practicing a foreign language: Use the recording feature in notes as a tool for students to record themselves practicing their foreign language skills. Es muy increible, no? Or something like that . . .
Reading and speaking: Use the recording feature in notes as a method for students to record themselves reading or speaking. Notes are kept as a way of gauging progress through the year.

The Argument from Incorporeality
So, I have been using this counter-apologetic for a while now on Twitter:
1. A being is a thing has the ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human (including consciousness and sentience).
2. All known beings exist in time and space.
3. If the theist claims that god is immaterial (outside time and space).
4. Therefore, god cannot exist.
What do you…

As a sociologist, I can not rely on naturalism or materialism (especially methodological naturalism).
The study of social life would be impossible from any of those positions.
Thus it is important to understand the epistemological and ontological basis of all worldviews, even if they do not lead to truth. It is enough that people believe them to be true (because sociology is not about truth, but about how people make sense of the world.
Having said that:…

Having recently spent quite a bit of time looking closely at the doctrines of a wide range of religions, I have come to the conclusion that most follow the same pattern:
1. An authority figure makes a claim that the individual is in some way flawed or dependent on a supernatural entity;
2. The authority figure make the claim that only they have special access to that supernatural entity;
3. The individual is thus convinced they are incomplete without the authority…

Britain pledges non-combat help in Mali
BAMAKO, Mali, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Prime Minister David Cameron has pledged Britain will provide non-combat help to France's military intervention in Mali, British officials said Sunday.
Cameron committed to providing two planes to transport troops and their equipment within a day or two, The Times said in London.
The agreement came in a phone call between Cameron and French President Francois Hollande, the newspaper said.
The prime ministers office stressed no British troops would not engage in combat in Mali.
A Cameron spokesman said, ""The prime minister spoke to President Hollande to discuss the deteriorating situation in Mali and how the U.K. can support French military assistance provided to the Malian government to contain rebel and extremist groups in the north of the country."
French jets on Sunday again bombarded Mali, where Islamist extremists have occupied the northern part of the country for the past nine months, officials said.
Sunday was the third day of a French intervention in the West African country, Radio France Internationale reported.
"There were [airstrikes] last night, there are now and there will be today and tomorrow," French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said.
"Our intervention is ongoing and we will continue in order to make them [Islamist fighters] retreat and allow Malian and African forces to go forward and re-establish the territorial integrity of the country," Le Drian said.
McCain: Not sure about voting for Hagel
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Sunday he's not sure if he'll vote for or against his friend, former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., to be the new defense secretary.
Despite the fact that Hagel was McCain's 2000 presidential campaign chair and the two are friends, McCain said he has some concerns during an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation."
"My questions about him -- and they will be raised in the nominations -- are, what is his view of America's role in the world? Whether he really believes that the surge was the worst blunder since the Vietnam War. That clearly is not correct; in fact, it's bizarre. Why would he oppose calling the Iranian revolutionary guard a terrorist organization? [It's the] same outfit that's on the ground now in Syria killing Syrians, same outfit that was exploiting the most lethal IEDs [improvised explosive devices] into Iraq killing Americans," McCain said.
"So these are legitimate questions that need to be asked," he added. "I honor his service. We are friends, but I have an obligation to the men and women who are now serving in uniform."
McCain also voiced concerns about the nomination of John Brennan as CIA director. He pointed to what he called discrepancies in Brennan's views on torture and his possible role in information leaks after the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Powell predicts Hagel storm will blow over
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday he believed Chuck Hagel would be confirmed as secretary of defense once his record is accurately examined.
Hagel, a former Republican senator, is expected to face a strong challenge from the GOP but will likely be confirmed because the allegations he is too dovish and anti-Israel will be disproved, Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"This is a gentleman who knows all of these issues in depth," said Powell, a former Army general and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "He is a fellow who speaks his mind. He sometimes gets in trouble with those who think he should not speak his mind, but he says what he believes and he sticks with it."
Powell predicted Hagel would be a reliable ally of Israel while overseeing the Pentagon, particularly when it comes to direct threats to Israeli security. At the same time, Powell said: "I am very supportive of the State of Israel. So is Sen. Hagel and you will see this in the confirmation hearings. But it doesn't mean you have to agree with every single position that the Israeli government takes."
Powell said the public-relations barrage against Hagel was partly the product of an attitude by Republican leaders that did not jibe with U.S. public opinion. He told NBC he believed the election of President Obama twice was evidence Americans were not anxious to see their country picking fights with other nations such as Iran.
NRA says Dem threats boost gun sales
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- The president of the National Rifle Association denied the NRA was stirring up fears over U.S. gun control in order to increase sales by its members' companies.
David Keene said Sunday it was the Obama administration and congressional Democrats who were doing the stirring with their calls for increased controls on firearms, which in turn led to periodic runs on assault rifles and high-capacity magazines.
"They are the ones that are scaring American gun owners, it isn't the NRA," Keene said on CNN's "State of the Union." "From the 1970s on, we have emerged as the defender of Second Amendment rights, that is a core part of our mission."
Keene said that although the NRA receives financial support from the firearms industry, the association's core constituency were gun owners who hold a legitimate concern their right to bear arms could be curtailed without good reason. "Our constituency is twofold," he said. "It's the American people who want to own guns and use them legally, and it is the Second Amendment itself."
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., was not convinced. He told CNN the powerful lobbying group was "not your father's NRA" and directly profited from gun sales through a "rounding up" program in which the purchase price is rounded up to the nearest dollar.
Murphy predicted the NRA would pull out all stops to block legislation curbing assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, which the U.S. public favored.
"You don't need an assault weapon to kill a deer, you don't need an assault weapon to do target practice," Murphy said. "Sportsmen are not going to have their rights abridged or their ability to enjoy their sport changed by having these dangerous, military-style assault weapons taken off of the streets."

It's been a while since [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Liam Gallagher[/lastfm] was in the spotlight with Oasis, but tomorrow (Wednesday, June 22) he'll take to the stage of the Ed Sullivan Theatre with new band Beady Eye. You'll be able to watch the webcast right here as the band brings British rock 'n' roll swagger to Live on Letterman.
Today Last.fm Trends looks at the infamous brother's scrobbles, to see how Beady Eye is faring so far.
First official single "The Roller" dominates their six-month chart, but their other tracks aren't trailing too far behind. The band's gained a total of 1,441,661 plays from 80,097 listeners over the eight months they've been releasing music, so they have a fast starting pace to keep up with for current US shows.
The peak of listening for Beady Eye's tracks coincides with the album's release on March 1st, but a slope off in listeners since suggests that it's a live show that will really engage fans with their tracks. Make up your own mind, with Live on Letterman's exclusive webcast.
Learn more about Beady Eye at their Last.fm page.
Catch Beady Eye Live on Letterman on CBS.com. The performance takes place Wednesday, June 22 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.

You might think that being diagnosed with polio at six months of age would make it tough for a person to achieve a lofty goal, not to mention several.
But if you thought that about Philibert Kongtcheu of Secaucus, you would be wrong.
Utilizing philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's saying, "What does not kill me makes me stronger" as his mantra, Kongtcheu has managed to use his situation to strive for success.
If there really is a "21st Century Man," it might very well be Kongtcheu.
He speaks eight languages; five of them fluently.
He was raised and educated in Paris, France, and received his Aggregation in Mathematics (equivalent to a Ph.D.).
He moved to the United States in 1996 to work as a quantitative mathematician for a bank here.
"This is my way of surviving." – Philibert Kongtcheu
He is the owner of PFK Technologies, a financial risk management company.
Poetry writer
And he is well versed in the creative arts, especially poetry, where he has found his niche.
Kongtcheu participated in The Resident Art Show and Poetry Lounge held in April at the Town Hall. He has published a volume of poems, and has even written one specifically about his adopted hometown.
The Cameroon native lives at the Hudson Manor Health Care Center on County Avenue, and spends much of his day working, learning, problem solving, and creating new ideas, some of which he has patented.
Child of polio and linguist
"I am a child of polio, and polio defined who I am in terms of character, life experiences, and sensitivities," he said. But he does not let that label define him or stop him from moving forward.
It certainly did not stop him in his linguistic studies. Kongtcheu is fluent in English, French, Mandarin Chinese, Ghomala, and Pidgin. He also speaks Spanish, German, and Italian.
"When I came here two years ago, I was seriously weakened from the waist down, with nowhere else to go," he said. "I was in a state of despair and was totally overwhelmed."
But he did not let himself become depressed or allow himself to ease into a state of nonexistence.
He has used his poetry as a means to self heal.
"Poetry has become the area in which I project and soothe my emotional travails," he said. "I guess I have always had a poetic disposition."
His participation in the town art show re-energized his interest in poetry, giving him a reason to write more and to organize ones he had already written.
He has applauded Mayor Michael Gonnelli and Lee Penna, community outreach coordinator, for fueling that endeavor.
"Thanks to the mayor's support, together with Lee at the library during the art show in April, I organized a few of my poems that were subsequently published in a small book," he said. "I am about to release a second edition of that book."
He said he has also received support from the Secaucus WalMart and The United Way for the work he showcased at those venues.
He said a comment from a reader of his poetry especially struck home.
"It was Franklin Roosevelt Johnson, 79 years old, who tells me that it only ranks next to the Bible in terms of impact on him," Kongtcheu said.
Book writing
Kongtcheu is also busy writing a book and will be taking courses through the Harvard University Extension's Master in Creative Writing Program in September.
"I want to leverage that experience to produce a piece that showcases the highest levels of literary expression," he said.
Clothes drive
He has also started a program at his nursing center called "Dress 4 Wellness," which will be distributing clothing to fellow residents who have little family support.
"Being well dressed to me means — especially in these circumstances — that you are still very much cared for, by you or those who are responsible for you," he said.
Kongtcheu lauded the mayor for being supportive of the program with a "significant" amount of new clothes already delivered to the program.
He welcomes more donations, and asked that those wishing to donate to those at Hudson Manor do so by dropping the items off at the United Way at 79 Metro Way, where he volunteers once a week, with his name on it.
Secaucus as home
He has found joy in his move to Secaucus, feeling the town's hospitality toward him.
"From the kindness of little children on the street when I was in a wheelchair, to the mayor, who has really sought to make things easier for me in any possible way for him," he said. "I am really grateful. My poem to the town is just an encapsulation of that feeling of gratitude."
"This is my way of surviving," Kongtcheu said. "While keeping a positive outlook on life, I have a constantly refreshed sense of the possible."

The company is seeking a loan from the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), which controls a $3.25 billion pool of federal loan authority for grid-related enhancements. WAPA, one of four power-marketing administrations within the US Department of Energy, operates 10.4GW of transmission services in 15 central and western states.
The Grasslands project, dubbed Wind Spirit and targeted for 2017 completion, would comprise a series of regional transmission feeder lines for transporting wind power from far-flung locations into trunk lines which are expected to be constructed for delivering electricity towards population centres in Nevada, Arizona and California.
These trunk lines are large transmission lines that are used by multiple generators.
Although some 200 companies applied for the WAPA loans, Grasslands believes its project is unique and does not view the process as a competition. Canada-based energy giant TransCanada has already proposed a pair of 3GW trunk lines in the region.
"Right now we are not planning on building those large trunk lines," says Matt Jennings, director of government affairs for Grasslands. "So it would be easy to see ourselves as potentially being collaborative with some other transmission developers, rather than in direct competition. We will be trying to fill capacity on those trunk lines."
Letters of intent
To that end, Grasslands has lined up letters of intent and financial commitments from ten wind developers with a collective potential for 3GW of generation in Montana, North Dakota and Alberta, Canada.
The company's plans also include a 350MW pumped-hydro facility, proposed for central Montana, which would help balance the new wind generation. Combined, the final result could cost as much as $4 billion but deliver 1GW of firm renewable energy.
"It really is about integrating renewable energy for us," Jennings says. "And so, as we go out to communities, we do not only talk about putting up poles and wires through a county. We talk about the wind developments that come along with that."
Grasslands began in 2008 as a joint venture between Rocky Mountain Power and Absaroka Energy. Grasslands recently partnered with Spain's Elecnor, which offers considerable international experience in transmission and wind. Further, says Jennings, the founders of Grasslands were involved in the early development stages of the Montana Alberta Tie Line (MATL), a major transmission project under construction between Lethbridge, Alberta, and Great Falls, Montana.
A WAPA loan funded roughly 80% of MATL's $200 million price tag and Jennings is cautiously optimistic about the prospects of similar government assistance for the Wind Spirit project. "A lot of this is a learning experience for WAPA as well as for us," he says. "And, because of that, there are lengthy negotiations and discussions. But in the year and a half since the Recovery Act passed, WAPA really has only chosen a handful of projects to fund - and that means there is quite a bit of money still available."
Montana, ranked among the top handful of states for wind power potential, has less than 400MW online and clearly stands to benefit from enhanced transmission. WAPA, meanwhile, continues to examine its money-lending options.
WAPA spokesman Randy Wilkerson says: "We signed a memorandum of understanding with Grasslands. It is a non-binding agreement that basically says we are going to continue discussions. We do have a number of projects in that category."
As for the 350MW pumped-hydro facility planned for central Montana, Jennings describes it as not unlike two huge bathtubs connected by a pair of pipes. Wind power pumps water uphill from the lower bathtub for collection in the upper one, then the water drains back down through conventional hydroelectric turbines when power is needed.
A preliminary permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission gives Grasslands a three-year licensing priority for the project.
Although some consider pumped-hydro facilities to be prohibitively expensive, Jennings disagrees. "There are other pumped-hydro facilities already in operation in Europe and in the US. And that means many companies did find ways to build them and make them work."

New York, NY, August 25, 2008 - TV Land's got just what the doctor ordered with a prescription sure to tickle the funny bone when "Scrubs" premieres on Labor Day with a 7-hour marathon on Monday, September 1. Join J.D., Turk, Elliot, Carla, Dr. Cox and the entire Sacred Heart Hospital staff beginning at 4 p.m. (ET/PT) as they heal patients, mend broken hearts and keep viewers in stitches. "Scrubs" joins TV Land's line-up in its regularly scheduled timeslot of 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) from Monday to Friday beginning Tuesday, September 2.
"'Scrubs' is the perfect contemporary acquisition for TV Land as the network continues to grow as the ultimate entertainment network for people in their 40s and 50s," states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. "Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison and the entire cast is at their comedic best and their neurotic and side-splitting antics keep viewers laughing all night long. The quick-wit and humor of this series definitely appeals to our audience, and it is precisely the reason why TV Land voted it the winner of the 2001 Future Classic Award."
"Scrubs" follows the dynamic daily routines and bizarre happenings of the Sacred Heart hospital staff. Having premiered in October 2001, the series continues to be a prime time network hit as John "J.D." Dorian (Zach Braff) narrates the everyday personal and professional challenges that he and surgical intern and college buddy Chris Turk (Donald Faison) and the ambitious yet quirky intern Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) face. Monitoring, mocking, belittling and criticizing their every move are: the sarcastic attending physician Dr. Perry Cox (John McGinley); the Chief of Medicine Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins); the warm-hearted nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes) and J.D.'s adversary -- the conspiring hospital janitor (Neil Flynn).
The schedule for the "Scrubs" Labor Day Marathon is as follows (all times ET/PT):
Monday, September 1

6:00 p.m.
"My Day Off"
J.D. becomes the patient in this episode when he is admitted for appendicitis. As Elliot examines him, J.D. has a first-hand experience with her cold bed-side manner, and later he requests that Turk not perform his operation which causes tension. Elsewhere in the hospital, Dr. Cox does everything he can to impress his mentor, the former Chief of Medicine, who is also a hospital patient.
6:30 p.m.

Day's Worst: Tale of hurricane river rafting
What is it about natural disasters that brings out the foolish bravado in some?
That question came to mind as we read a tale about two guys who decided to arm themselves with whiskey sours and raft a raging river during superstorm Sandy to get to… Walmart.
The Maryland men, Marvin Lee Kingsbury and Charles Kent Bowers, did not die. That's probably the result of them at least having the sense to wear life jackets. But they did have to be rescued from trees they were clinging to after their raft — fortified with plywood and swim noodles — capsized.
When it was all said and done, the men were unrepentant. The only thing they'd do differently was to use a "better boat."

Satchel of Cards
|The subject of this article was removed from World of Warcraft in patch 3.3.0.
The subject of this article or section is part of Love is in the Air, a seasonal event that lasts two weeks. Once the event has run its course, this will no longer be available until next year, but there are no guarantees.
- Satchel of Cards
- Duration: 10,080 min (real time)
- Use: Combines a Basket of Flowers, a Satchel of Cards and a Thunder Bluff Pledge Collection into a Thunder Bluff Gift Collection.
A Satchel of Cards is a package of five [Bluffwatcher's Cards] pledge gifts, and is the first hierarchical combining of the pledge items given out by various Thunder Bluff NPCs during the Love is in the Air seasonal event.
All of the Love is in the Air pledge gift packages are non-functional as regards their name and picture. You cannot read any of the cards in a Satchel of Cards.
If you have five or more [Bluffwatcher's Cards] in your inventory, right clicking on any of them will consume five and create a Satchel of Cards.
A Satchel of Cards is one of three Thunder Bluff pledge gift packages which are the ingredients of the [Thunder Bluff Gift Collection].
Be careful, the Bluffwatcher's Card pledge item stacks 20 high, but the Satchel of Cards package item does not stack at all.
This is a conjured item. It cannot be sold at the Auction House, mailed nor put in a guild bank tab, but it can be given, sold, or traded with other player characters using the trade window. Unfortunately, that means you cannot pass these directly to an alt on the same account.
This item is primarily useful during Love is in the Air and the seven day duration of the item is longer than the event, so is not a handicap. It does prevent you from saving these for the following year.
Patch changes
- Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): Removed.
- Patch 1.9.3 (2006-02-07): Added.

The Knicks international scouts have been very busy this summer. In addition to signing shooting guard James White from Italy and drafting Greek forward Kostas Papanikolau in the second round of the draft, the Knicks added two more players out of European leagues today.
New York signed 6'3 35 year old Argentinean point guard Pablo Prigioni to a veteran minimum contract worth $473,000. I really like this signing. Nicknamed "The Maestro" in Europe, Prigioni is a master passer and can also shoot with good range. I believe Woodson, especially early in the season, will play Lin and Kidd together on the court which should open up some minutes for Prigioni. The Argentinean guard has been on Glen Grundwald's radar for about 5 years now. I believe the Knicks got a good value signing in Prigioni and I'm excited to see what he can do. Here are some highlights of Prigioni:
The Knicks also signed 6'8 forward Chris Copeland out of the Belgian league to a non-guaranteed contract. I've seen one video of Copeland, in which he scored 45 points in a game (the video is posted below). There are 3 things I can take away from that video. Copeland can shoot, he has some post moves and he loves to isolate. Sounds like a Mike Woodson offensive type player to me. In Woodson's iso-centric offense, he wants his shot makers to be able to a) create their own shot b) shoot well from the outside and c) post up. From the video I've seen, it looks like Copeland can do those things. Known as a monster scorer in Belgium, Copeland averaged 21.8 ppg and 5.5 rpg this past season while playing for Generali Okapi.

Unit 3: Gravity
Unit Overview
Although by far the weakest of the known forces in nature, gravity pervades the universe and played an essential role in the evolution of the universe to its current state. Newton's law of universal gravitation and its elegant successor, Einstein's theory of general relativity, represent milestones in the history of science and provide the best descriptions we have of gravity. General relativity is founded on the principle of equivalence of gravity and acceleration; an inescapable consequence is that gravity governs the very geometry of space and time. This property of gravity distinguishes it from the other forces and makes attempts to unify all of the forces into a "theory of everything" exceedingly difficult. How well do we really understand gravity? Do the same laws of gravity apply to objects on the opposite sides of the universe as to particles in the microscopic quantum world? Current research is attempting to improve the precision to which the laws of gravity have been tested and to expand the realm over which tests of gravity have been made. Gravitational waves, predicted by general relativity, are expected to be observed in the near future. This unit will review what we know about gravity and describe many of the directions that research in gravitation is following.

- Other (Rare) Cases of Pneumonia in People Living With HIV
- Conclusion
What Is Pneumonia?
Pneumonia refers to a common infection of the lungs caused by one of the following types of germs: bacteria, fungi, or viruses. The infection can involve one lung, both lungs, or just part of a lung. Depending on your overall health, pneumonia and its symptoms can be mild or severe. In more severe cases, pneumonia can require hospitalization and even lead to death. In the US, 1.1 million people were hospitalized with pneumonia in 2013, and over 53,000 died from the disease. Worldwide, pneumonia is the leading cause of death for children under the age of five. Almost one fifth of all deaths of children under the age of five are due to pneumonia each year.
The symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments listed in this section are broad symptoms common to all types of pneumonia. Some symptoms, like cough with sputum, are characteristic of only certain types of pneumonia (e.g., bacterial pneumonias). Similarly, some treatments, like antibiotics, are indicated for only some types of pneumonia (e.g., bacterial pneumonias, Pneumocystis pneumonia) and not for others (e.g., viral pneumonias). For information specific to each type of pneumonia, please scroll down.
- Shortness of breath
- Cough with sputum (materials such as mucus and phlegm that are coughed up from the lungs)
- Dry cough (no mucus or phlegm with coughing)
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Chills
- Physical exam of the lungs with a stethoscope
- Chest X-ray
- Sputum, or mucus samples for stain and culture, which show what germ is present in the lungs. Sometimes a person can cough up the sputum. If not, a procedure known as bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) can be done. In this procedure, sputum is obtained by placing a small tube down the windpipe that enables the provider to see the inside of the lungs and collect a sample of sputum.
- Arterial blood gases (ABGs) are drawn to measure oxygen content; the lower the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, the more serious the pneumonia
- Antibiotics (if caused by bacteria)
- Oxygen (if oxygen levels are low)
- Rest
- Fluids
- Other medicines to help make breathing easier
- When pneumonia is severe, a person may not be able to breathe on her/his own. When this happens, a machine called a respirator (or ventilator) is used temporarily while the antibiotics fight the infection and improve breathing.
There are many simple things you can do to avoid getting infected with the germs that cause pneumonia. These include washing your hands regularly, cleaning surfaces that are touched often and by many different people (countertops, phones, doorknobs), and coughing or sneezing into a tissue or your elbow or sleeve. You can also prevent pneumonia by stopping or reducing smoking, limiting the time you spend in or around smoke, and by getting vaccinated when appropriate. There are several vaccines that can prevent infection with the bacteria or viruses that cause pneumonia:
- Influenza (flu) vaccine
- Pneumococcus vaccine
- Measles
- Pertussis (whooping cough)
- Varicella (chicken pox)
- Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
Pneumonia and HIV
People living with HIV (HIV+) are more vulnerable to pneumonias of all kinds because they have a weakened immune system. Certain pneumonias lead to an AIDS diagnosis, such as Pneumocystis (PCP), recurrent pneumonia (more than once in a year's time), and active tuberculosis (TB).
Pneumocystis (jiroveci) Pneumonia (PCP)
PCP is caused by a fungus called Pneumocystis jiroveci. A healthy immune system can control the fungus. However, in people living with HIV with CD4 cell counts below 200, Pneumocystis can be a problem.
PCP has been the most common opportunistic infection and the most common pneumonia in people living with HIV since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. While PCP used to be deadly for many people living with HIV, it is now preventable and treatable. Drugs to prevent PCP are recommended for all people living with HIV with CD4 cell counts below 200. Taking drugs to prevent disease is called "prophylaxis".
- Fever
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, especially with activity
- Dry, non-productive cough (no mucus or phlegm)
- Weight loss
Anyone with these symptoms should see a health care provider immediately.
- Sputum, or mucus sample taken for special stain for PCP
- Chest x-ray may have a characteristic appearance
- Because the chest x-ray may also appear normal in someone with PCP, diagnosis is usually based on a combination of factors, including symptoms, physical exam, sputum sample, chest x-ray, amount of oxygen in the blood, and other blood tests.
- First choice treatment is Bactrim or Septra for those not allergic to the sulfa contained in the drug
- If you are allergic to sulfa, there are other antibiotics available to treat PCP
Prednisone (a steroid) can be used to reduce inflammation
Usually treated for three weeks
To avoid getting PCP again after the infection has been treated, a person stays on a lower dose of antibiotics until her or his CD4 count is above 200 for at least three to six months. This is called "secondary prophylaxis."
- People with fewer than 200 CD4 cells take oral Bactrim or Septra
- If you are allergic to sulfa, there are alternative drugs for prophylaxis
- You may discontinue prophylaxis when your CD4 cell count rises above 200 for at least three to six months
Bacterial Pneumonias
Bacteria that cause pneumonia are commonly found in the nose and throat. In people living with HIV who have weakened immune systems, especially women living with HIV, the bacteria can multiply and work their way into the lungs, causing pneumonia. The most common bacteria to cause pneumonia in the US are Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus).
- Onset usually quick (within days)
- Fever
- Sweating
- Shaking/chills
- Cough that produces rust colored or greenish mucus
- Increased breathing and pulse rate
- Bluish colored lips or nails
- Bacterial pneumonias are almost always treatable with antibiotics
- There are two vaccines to prevent pneumococcal pneumonia: PPSV23 (Pneumovax) and PCV 13 (Prevnar 13). Both are recommended for all people living with HIV 19 years of age or older to reduce the risk of developing pneumococcal pneumonia
- The Pneumovax vaccine is given initially and repeated at age 65. It is no longer recommended to receive this vaccine every five years.
- The Prevnar 13 vaccine is only given once
Viral Pneumonias
About one third of all the pneumonias in the US each year are caused by respiratory viruses. The most common viral cause of pneumonia for adults is the flu virus (influenza). The most common viral cause of pneumonia in children younger than one year of age is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In children living with HIV, cytomegalovirus-associated pneumonias are also common.
- Onset usually gradual; days to weeks
- Fever, usually less than 102°F (38.8°C)
- Cough with a small amount of mucus
- Tiredness
- Muscle aches
- Most of the treatment for viral pneumonia involves rest, drinking plenty of fluid, and treating the symptoms. You can use over-the-counter medicines to reduce fever, body aches, and cough.
- Some anti-viral drugs are available by prescription only; see your health care provider to see if any of these are right for you.
- The influenza (flu) vaccine is recommended each year for people living with HIV since pneumonia often occurs as a complication of the flu
Tuberculosis (TB)
TB often occurs as a lung infection, but can affect almost any organ of the body. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes TB, can spread when a person with active TB disease coughs, sneezes or spits. Tiny droplets of fluid from the lungs are carried in the air and can be inhaled by someone nearby.
In healthy people, the immune system can usually prevent the bacteria from causing symptoms of TB (active disease). In people living with HIV, the bacteria may get out of control, resulting in active disease with symptoms. TB and HIV make each other worse. Worldwide, TB is the leading cause of death in people living with HIV. For more information on TB, please see our article on Tuberculosis.
Other (Rare) Cases of Pneumonia in People Living With HIV
Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP)
- Seen generally in children under 13 years old
- Also more common in women than men, often past age 40
Pneumonias can be very serious for people living with HIV. However, there are many things you can do to avoid getting pneumonia, including getting vaccinated for pneumonia and the flu. In addition, if your CD4 counts are low (below 200), there are some medicines you can take to prevent yourself from getting pneumonia. It is important that you get regular medical care to make sure you are receiving the right treatments for you.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-Sophomore midfielders Jordan MacPherson (Westwood, MA/ Westwood HS) and Justin Lawless (Quincy, MA/Archbishop Williams HS) each scored twice to lead the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's lacrosse team to a 9-1 victory over visiting Western Connecticut State in the Little East Conference opener for both schools at Cressy Field Saturday.
MacPherson and Lawless opened the scoring, with MacPherson converting as pass from sophomore midfielder Todd Davis (East Sandwich, MA/Sandwich HS) with 11:21 left in the first quarter and Lawless scoring unassisted less than a minute later. Freshman midfielder Riley Baxter (Groton, MA/Groton-Dunstable HS), MacPherson and sophomore attacker Adam Niden (Walpole, MA/Walpole HS) scored in the second quarter and the Corsairs took a 5-0 halftime lead.
Lawless, Davis and freshman attacker Connor Gaffney (Andover, MA/Andover HS) scored in the third quarter before senior midfielder Mike Schoen (Tolland, CT/Tolland HS) put the Colonials on the board with 18 seconds left in the third quarter. Senior midfielder Christian Roberto (Wakefield, MA/Malden Catholic HS) scored UMD's last goal in the fourth quarter.
"We had a good team effort today," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Kevin Mahoney. "We played team defense, we moved the ball on offense and took good, quality shots. Nick Thayer is having a great season; he took away five or six goals they could have had today. Our players are buying into our philosophy. We practiced hard this week and the team responded. Our hard work is paying off and things are falling into place. We have a great group of leaders with freshmen and sophomores who are stepping up and performing, and they are doing it every day.
The Corsairs outshot the Colonials, 38-24. UMass Dartmouth sophomore goalkeeper Nick Thayer (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) made 12 saves, while senior goalie Tyler Martone (Cheshire, CT/Cheshire HS) stopped 16 shots for the Colonials.
UMass Dartmouth improved to 5-1 and 1-0 in the Little East Conference with the victory, while Western Connecticut dropped to 5-3 and 0-1 in the LEC with the defeat. The Corsairs will return to action when they visit Nichols Thursday. The Colonials will visit Trinity Tuesday.

In the weeks since the nation's heart was ripped out inside an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., we have been reminded – seemingly on a daily basis – of two common themes.
We desperately want to ensure that such a slaughter of innocents never happens again. And we fundamentally disagree on the best way to go about it.
The gun control debate has been heated. It likely will remain so. Such is the passion that surrounds Second Amendment rights in this country. It is still a conversation this country desperately needs to have.
But there is another conversation the nation would do well to have as well. That would be a conversation with our children. We ignore it at our own peril.
Part of that conversation needs to stress that while technology has created powerful new methods of communication, it has limits. Another would be to remind all citizens – not just young people – that we lost more than just our innocence on the campus of Virginia Tech, in that movie theater in Aurora, Colo., and in Sandy Hook Elementary School.
We lost our ability to shrug off what was once considered a prank, or a hoax.
A 12-year-old student at Ridley Middle School learned that lesson the hard way this week.
Officially, the threats this young man made against some students and staff at his school are being labeled a hoax. The criminal charges he now faces, however, are all too real.
We now live in a society literally dripping with violence. A lot of people wonder if kids who spend hours awash in that kind of video violence eventually have trouble separating that make-believe world from reality. With a click of a computer mouse – and the perceived veil of anonymity offered by the Internet – offers those seeking such resolution a handy new arena to vent their feelings.
But going on Facebook and threatening to bring a weapon to school is not a hoax nor an idle threat. We no longer have that luxury. What it is now is a crime.
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan made that much absolutely clear in moving quickly to investigate this case and bring criminal charges against the young Facebook poster.
Both the D.A.'s office and school authorities should be commended for the actions they took in response to the Internet threat.
Even with the threat seemingly defused, lives were disrupted. Some parents decided to keep their children home. Police presence was increased at the school. There was a cost to the county in terms of the investigation.
But that pales compared to the cost of ignoring such a claim and then having the unthinkable happen.
Again. Listen up, kids. Let this incident in Ridley be a lesson to you. You'll still be able to do a lot of the kind of things you'll one day regret.
This isn't one of them. Not any more.

NEW YORK – An expansion plan by New York University that will transform the historic neighborhood of Greenwich Village with nearly two million square feet of additional space, mostly for students and research, has been approved by the City Council.
The 44-to-1 vote on the NYU plan was the most notable – and contentious – decision by the Council at yesterday's stated meeting.
Lawmakers also approved a bill that sponsors said would bring greater transparency to affordable housing developments paid for by the city and another measure that makes nearly 200 revisions to the plumbing code.
Opponents of the NYU expansion immediately decried the Council's approval of the plan, calling it an insult to the community.
Two of the main groups opposing it -- representing historic preservationists and the other faculty -- have hired an international law firm specializing in land use.
Council members said they had listened to residents and had worked with NYU to trim the size of the plan so that the low-rise nature of the Village would be protected while giving the school room to grow.
"I think this plan appropriately balances the need of an important university to grow and expand — which is good for our city — with the historic neighborhood it's in," said Council Speaker Christine Quinn before yesterday's stated meeting.
Councilman Charles Barron was the only member to vote against the plan.
Margaret Chin, the councilwoman who represents the neighborhood, said the plan had been substantially modified since it was first proposed by NYU. She emphasized that it was 26 percent smaller than in its initial form.
She said that mechanisms would be created as part of the plan to make sure that NYU is held accountable during the construction. She also said access to open space had been preserved.
"We addressed a lot of the concern that was raised by the community board," she said.
But Andrew Berman, the executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, said the plan did not address the main concerns of the community that included affordable housing and the give-away of public land to the university.
"This was really a slap in the face to the thousands of people who, I think in good faith really engaged with the process in the hopes that their concerns were heard. But they were clearly not," said Andrew Berman, the executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation.
NYU President John Sexton said in a statement that the school was "very pleased" about the Council's vote.
He said the plan would create construction jobs and generate economic activity through increased research capacity for the university.
"This plan benefits not only NYU's students and faculty," he said in the statement. "In very real and tangible ways, it benefits New York City."
There was little surprise to the approval by the Council, which had been expected since an influential committee weighed had given it the go-ahead last Tuesday.
The 20-year construction plan is expected to begin in 2014.

The absolutely amazing Kuri helped me out with a CP (Custom purchase) of some of my latest must haves – I just don't have time to play with these yet but I wanted to show you what I got!
Melliesh Limited Edition compact blusher brush and Shadow Eyeliner set – I reckon this will be a glorious, matte black:
I am NUTS for Melliesh at the moment – I have 5 of their blushers and 3 lip glosses to review soon!
I've always wanted the Jill Stuart mirror but it's so expensive – I saw this Canmake one on their website and it still looks lovely:
I always seem to forget to carry a mirror – I end up guessing where my eyeliner should be….and no, it's never quite where I think!
Canmake is a cheap brand over in Japan but online retailers seem to mark it up a lot. I picked up these two Graduation Wink eyeshadows:
According to the literature, you can swipe your finger over these and apply it straight on! Can you believe it!? I'll give it a try anyway it would certainly save me time!
I got two Dollywink lip sticks which are SUPER nude! Hoping these aren't deathly nude:
I also got the newest Canmake cream cheek blusher – I LOVE these event though some of them contain sparkle and this is the newest shade which is a peach-coral.
I got 2 of the melty nudes (I love nude lips) and on Kuri's recommendation, the Gokubuto mascara!
I am also mad for Dollywink – I already bought 3 glitter polishes from the range and asked Kuri to pick up three more colours for me, a glitter, a lilac and a pink. These are quite small but enough for me as I am yet to finish a nail polish!
Ahhhh if I were in Japan I would be in shopping heaven!
What have you hauled lately?

Three weeks of regular season college football left! The process by which teams go from "disappointing start" to "wait-a-minute-are-we-even-going-to-make-a-bowl-game" was set in motion months ago, but this is when everyone notices, so there should be some excellent temper tantrums across university campuses tonight.
If you're without a rooting interest, we suggest 1. Going back to sleep until about 3 p.m. 2) Waking up, making your bed, you fucking slob 3) Watching Oregon State go to Stanford in a game that may well decide who's playing in the Rose Bowl (3 p.m., FOX) or Texas A&M at LSU (3:30 p.m., CBS), in a game that (with Western Carolina and Auburn still on the schedule, both at home) will almost certainly decide whether Alabama goes undefeated in the regular season. Night games: maybe Mississippi State at LSU (7 p.m., ESPN), two teams with identical records and very different expectations. Also maybe stay up for the Oregon/Cal bloodbath (10:30 p.m., ESPN), or Kansas State at TCU (7 p.m., FOX). Otherwise, just go back to bed.
Yak below, and we'll link back when night descends.

Church of San Francisco in San Cristóbal de la Laguna (Tenerife)
You do not have to leave Spain to travel back to colonial times, to a time of conquistadors and discoveries. Come to San Cristóbal de la Laguna in the Canary Islands, and feel all the charm of a city with the UNESCO World Heritage designation. Explore its streets, full of religious and civil constructions with centuries of history, and discover a place that served as a model for many of the towns that were built in South America from the 16th century onwards.
In the north of Tenerife, one of the islands that make up the Canaries, you will find a beautiful example of the first non-fortified colonial city: San Cristóbal de la Laguna. In its old town of narrow streets and open spaces, you will find patios, squares, churches, convents and palaces, many of which have brightly coloured façades.
Strolling through this city packed with contrast is like a trip back into history. It is divided into two parts: the Villa de Arriba (upper town), and the Villa de Abajo (lower town), whose layout is ordered according to the Renaissance style of the 16th century, inspired in navigational charts, the science that reigned at the time. In fact, the map of San Cristóbal can be read as a "star chart", where the cardinal points correspond to specific places in the city and where everything has a symbolic meaning. This original layout has remained intact since then, and was the most immediate antecedent to colonial cities in South America such as Havana and Lima, amongst others. San Cristóbal de la Laguna is a clear example of the link that was established between the European and American cultures. A constant relationship between the two continents that is alive to this day.
Awaiting you are towers and bell towers such as those of the Concepción Church and the Cathedral; stately houses and palaces with interior patios surrounded by columns, fountains and vegetation; illustrious buildings with symmetrical façades and large windows wrought in iron, such as the current Town Hall, or the old Chief Magistrate's House; San Fernando University… The majority of these buildings were constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries, and are in a range of artistic styles (600 of them have Mudejar architecture) giving the city a unique atmosphere. There are a range of routes covering the most emblematic spots in the city. If you don't want to miss the best, you should make for the tourist office, where they will help you plan your visit, and where you can sign up for guided tours.
Apart from its culture, San Cristóbal de la Laguna is also an ideal place for hiking enthusiasts. It is surrounded by nature reserves and mountains covered in flora endemic to the Canary Islands. Be sure to see the stunning views of the islands from some of the area's viewpoints, such as Las Mercedes or La Cruz del Carmen. Enjoy an unforgettable holiday in a unique destination.

MACON, Ga. - A year after breaking through with their first conference title, the Lipscomb Lady Bisons stampeded to the top seed in this week's Atlantic Sun Championship. Sophomore Alex Kelly led the Lipscomb charge with three Player of the Week honors, and capped off the regular season as the Atlantic Sun Player of the Year the conference office announced Tuesday afternoon.
Kelly also earned First-Team All-Atlantic Sun honors a year after being named the All-Freshman team. Teammate Jake Pease (sophomore, setter) joined her on the first-team. Kelly led the A-Sun in kills per set with 4.09 and ranked second with a .343 hitting percentage. The Kansas City, Mo. native averaged 4.32 kills and hit .362 against conference foes. FGCU seniors Ana Kokanovic and Roberta Santos earned their second consecutive first-team selections. Kokanovic ranked second in the league with four kills per set, while Santos finished third in assists, averaging 9.55 a frame. Belmont senior outside hitter Cat Mundy (fifth in the A-Sun in kills and kills per set), earned her second consecutive first-team selection. Jacksonville senior outside hitter Sara Bendorf ranked third in the league in both kills and kills per set, and finished her stellar career with her first career First-team selection. Bendorf's teammate, junior libero Shelley Walroth rounded out the first-team honorees.
Walroth, who ranks fourth in the nation with 5.89 digs per set, posted more than 550 digs for the third consecutive season en route to also claiming Defensive Player of the Year honors. The psychology major enters the A-Sun Championship second in digs in conference history.
Belmont led the way on the league's second-team, placing three competitors on the list. Preseason All-Conference selection Emily Cahill capped her career with her second straight Second-Team selection. Junior Jenny Gray ranked fourth in hitting percentage and 10th in blocks per set to earn her first career postseason honor, and freshman Channing Salava, the only freshman on the list, ranked second in the league in assists per set. Jacksonville's Abby Gruenbacher shut down opponents at the net all season, leading the league with 1.16 blocks per set, and cross-town rival Kaley Read, of UNF, earned her first career selection after ranking fifth in kills per set. A Mercer pair rounded out the second team with senior libero Claire Tucker (second in the A-Sun in digs) and senior hitter Karen Dorris (sixth in the A-Sun in kills).
With two all-conference performers, the third-best conference winning percentage in school history and the most conference wins in school history to her name, the Bears head coach, Noelle Rooke was named the league's Coach of the Year. Rooke helped guide Mercer to its highest tournament seeding since 2003.
Six different schools placed players on the All-Freshman team with Belmont outside hitter Maggie Johnson joining Salava as the only teammates on the list. Salava's stellar first season replacing four-time First-Team selection Colleen Nilson earned her unanimous Freshman of the Year accolades.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life, with a focus on academic and athletic integrity and a balance between the two for the student-athlete, and maintaining a high level of sportsmanship. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun encompasses six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun consists of some of the most dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

Green Purification
Swimming pool maintenance can be annoying because of the harsh chemical smells and harmful side effects. At poolcenter.com, we have always offered the finest in swimming pool sanitization systems. We are proud to offer alternate solutions to pool maintenance that will help you keep a sparkling clear pool without the use of harsh chlorine. We carry brands like Del Ozone, Nature 2, Zodiac, Aqua-Rite, and ChlorEase for a pure, clean, refreshing water with no odors and no harmful side effects.
Swimming pools are a sign of style and luxury, and provide entertainment for your family and friends. However pool maintenance can be a time consuming and cumbersome task which involves use of harsh chemicals like chlorine to sanitize the water and keep it clean and healthy. Though chlorine is a very effective sanitizer, it is accompanied by a harsh odor and causes side effects like red, itchy skin, watery eyes, green hair, and bleached swimsuits. Most swimmers and pool owners find chlorine to be an unpleasant sanitizer and look for alternate ways to purify their pool water.
Nowadays there are several options available to sanitize the swimming pool without having to use chlorine. These alternate or green options make use of natural enzymes or minerals in order to sanitize pool water and keep it clean and healthy. The alternate purification methods work by breaking down organic compounds that are present in your pool and removing them through your pool's filtration system. Most of these sanitizing systems make use of ordinary salt and convert it into chlorine for a natural, effective and inexpensive way to maintain bacteria-free pool water. These chemicals are eco-friendly, have no harsh odors, and are compatible with all pool surfaces. The alternate purification methods also help eliminate algae and bacteria and prevent pool stains. If you are ready to make the change and want to switch from the harsh, foul smelling chlorine to safer, environmentally friendly sanitizers, take a walk through out pool store where you will find everything you need for a sparkling clean, soft, silky water. We carry Ozone Generators, Chlorine free pool chemical systems, Ionizers, and Mineral Purifiers to help you create a perfect swimming environment and a clean, relaxing pool.
