The C's 107-96 win last night over the Wizards may have been credited in part to the return of KG and Truth but don't discount the effort submitted by Brandon Bass.

Just in time too for the playoffs. "He seems to always be in the right spots, available," Truth said of Bass. "That's going to be huge for us if he continues to play well going into the playoffs, and the great thing about it is he's doing it all off of the hustle plays." Bass' performance last night was punctuated by this exclamation slam with about 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. He received the rock just above the three-point arc but instead of dribbling in a couple of feet and settling for a pull-up jumper, Bass took it strong to the hoop and finished with the phenomenal dunk! When Brandon's playing this loud and proud,

MID-ULSTER MLA Francie Molloy has hit out at Irish broadcaster RTE after it said it would block its signal to the province during Autumn Rugby Internationals from 2014 to 2017.
Mr Molloy expressed his dismay at the decision along with Dáil colleague, and 26 County Spokesperson on Sports, Sandra McLellan TD.
"My colleague Sandra McLellan TD has been in touch with RTÉ about its decision and received confirmation that the signal will be blocked to the Six Counties as a result of a contractual arrangement which it entered into with the IRFU.
"I find it incredible that the Irish National Broadcaster would even countenance entering into a commercial contract that would exclude a sizeable section of the Irish people from access to its coverage of major sporting fixtures.
"I also believe that it runs contrary to the spirit of the Good Friday Agreement which promised increased accessibility to national cultural broadcasting.
"It is equally unbelievable that the IRFU would sign a contract with Sky Sports that will for all intents and purposes deny up to 30% of its supporters the enjoyment of watching their national team in action.
From 2014 people living in Northern Ireland will have to subscribe to Sky Sport if they wish to watch international rugby matches as the BBC has lost the rights to broadcast the games and RTÉ has entered a contractual agreement covering the rights in the southern state only.
Mr Molloy continued: "The international rugby team is an all island team. The team's mixture in terms of culture and religion reflects the islands diversity and it is an excellent example of the positive role that sport can play in bringing people together.
"It beggars belief that a thirty-two county organization such as the IRFU would sign a contract without first examining the potential negative consequences for a large section of its fans. More importantly, I am alarmed that RTÉ, the national broadcaster would contemplate excluding those citizens living in the North from access to its broadcasts."

Hi Robert,
My brother-in-law is a Pettiford whose family originated in Oak Grove, Wake County, North Carolina. His branch migrated south to Tifton, GA and north to Philadelphia, PA and New Jersey.
Are you in touch with Mauri Pettiford? You can google her name and find her research and her posts. She has traced the family back to North Carolina in the early 1800's.
Paul Heinig also has quite a lot on the Pettifords on his site.
Good Luck in your research,

These incredible pictures show the remarkable work of surgeons in China.
Three-year-old Jia Wanyan was suffering from retinoblastoma, a tumour that develops in the cells of the retina, known as RB.
RB has one of the best cure rates of childhood cancers in the developed world, with every nine out of 10 sufferers surviving into adulthood.
However Jia's parents, who work as labourers, couldn't afford medical treatment for her tumour. A hospital in China stepped in to operate on the little girl for free after hearing about her plight.
Surgeons removed the eye completely during a three hour operation because the tumour had grown so large. Jia was then fitted with an artificial eye.
Chief surgeon Lei Delin said the procedure was a complete success.
Before the surgery was offered free of charge, Jia's dad said: "We took her to visit several local hospitals, and doctors said the treatment cost could be more than one million Yuan, and curable possibilities are minimal. How could we afford such a huge number?"
Jia will now undergo chemotherapy to kill off any remaining cancer cells. Follow-ups will be required to check that the disease hasn't returned.

As We Were Saying?
By Heywood Broun
iSM HE trouble with a good many musical shows is that they are con
?^ij caived in too altruistic a spirit. "I know this is terrible stuff,"
??/ the v/riter of tho libretto is just as likely to say, "'but it will
hand the dear old public a laugh." More than that, the players
through a lot of stunts out of which they derive not an
;" pleasure, just to amuse the audience. "Shuffle Along," the negro

A Pride That Laughs at Yale's
No musical show in town boasts such rousing and hilarious team?
work. Even a Yale crew could well be proud of such an esprit de corps.
They would die for "Shuffle Along," each last one of them, and so great
k the frenzy and vigor of some of the dancing that one wonders that
'??????y don't.
The person looking for a new school of entertainment will not find it
in "Shuffle Along." There arc occasional snatches of music which comes
from deeper jungles than Broadway. In the choral work and in the ;
of a male quartet there is the hint of primititve power. Dancing :
ernes hack to some of its essentials.
But on the whole "Shuffle Along" follows Broadway models. The
African contribution is not large. Most the music ?b lively and agree
able, but not much of it is new. The book could be rewritten for any
:air of German dialect comedians. It is a pretty good book at that.
There is an idea, although the development is not always.skillful. Now
and again a worth-while line appears. We liked, for instance, the retort
of the newly elected Mayor to the man who asked for the appointment
tl Chief of Police on the ground that it had been promised to him before
election : "If you haven't got sense enough not to believe an election
promise you haven't got sense enough to be Chief of Police."
A Show Worth the Seeing
Our greatest disappointment lay in the voices of the principals. We
?>eard no voice in any of the solo numbers of distinctive quality. Miller
and Lyles, who carry the bulk of the comedy, are excellent, and Eubie
Blake at the piano is a performer of unusual merit. In addition to play?
ing the two chief r?les, Miller and Lyles wrote the book and Sissle and
Blake did the music. "Shuffle Along" is well worth your attention.
Hawaiian Festival Dances for

a scene of gorgeousness unexcelled
anywhere. The dances began in an
environment of happiness reflected in
the simple childish nature of the par?
ticipants. The dancers were not the
young men and women, but the blithe?
some grandparents. There was, of
course, an absence of technique, but
there was a touch of the grotesque
which gave charm to the dances and
lifted them out of the commonplace.
Here one caught the real atmosphere of
the old Hawaiian dances. There was a
story or legend back of each dance.
This projected an impression so vivid
that it held your attention and you
could really follow the story with de?
light. The grotesque beauty and sinu?
ous grace of these evolutions have the
spirit of joy which is the element un?
derlying all old Hawaiian folk dances
and is in vivid contrast to the crude
imitation of the vulgar modern dances
given by the young people in Honolulu.

my trip to the festival day celebration

On August 29 at the Eltinge Theater
there being still, in spite of the huge
success by that time scored of "Get?

be ably supported by a large number

up shop upon the withdrawal of "John

Night," "Sun-Kist," and "The Broken

"Peek-a-Boo" will offer fresh oppor?

and want to share honors modest?
ly with such stars as Richard Carle,
Blanche Ring, Charles Winninger,
i Wmona Winter and Jay Gould, call on
; John Henry Mears, producer of "The
Broadway Whirl," at the Times Square
Theater. If you can't call phone or I
write, for there's a hearty reception j
waiting for the right pair of girls. I
Mears has been looking for them a
long time. You don't have to be real j
twins, so long as you look enough alike. I
Nor do you require stage experience,
for if you have the talent you'll get all
the schooling necessary.
The fact is that there are two per?
fectly good new r?les in "The Broad?

1 two good salaries still unpaid because
there seem no suitable applicants.
i Of course, Mr. Mears has tried the

little fastidious. When "The Broad- j

months ago, instead of taking girls !

for the first time in America, and the

son; "Back to Methuselah"
WIN oases in the desert of July, the "Scandals of 1921" and Zieg
feld's "Midnight Frolic" are to be reached by the caravan on
July 18 and 20, respectively, while the promised theatrical season
is suspended like a mirage in the nebulous sapphire of August
and September.
The only definite points of reference by the guides to that promised
land are "Getting Gertie's Garter," at the Republic on August 1, which Al
Woods says is without blush or blemish ; "Tangerine," with Julia Sander?
son, at the Casino, on August 8; "The Poppy God," a Chinese tragedy,
at the Hudson, and "Back Pay," at the Eltinge, both on August 29. Mr.
Woods's "The Pink Slip," at the Central on September 6, is the only
other definite point descried on the northern slope of the year.
Of the scores of other prospects the Theater Guild's high resolve to
present Shaw's latest play, "Back to Methuselah," is as interesting as
any. Their success with his "Heartbreak House" and Moinar's "Liliom"
is the warrant for their undertaking. The guild also will revive "The
Devil's Disciple," by Shaw, which has not been prominently sponsored
here since Richard Mansfield's production. The guild's list may also in-i
elude a dramatization of "Potterism," one of Britain's best sellera.

"The White Headed Boy" and
The Abbey Theater of Dublin
T is doubtful if any activity o? ;
the coming theatrical season will
exceed in interest the advent in
America of the Irish Players, repre?
sentatives of the Abbey Theater, Dub?
lin, and therefore of the rapidly grow?
ing British and Irish repertory system,
who are to be brought here by Charles ;
Diilingham to present in the Henry :
Miller Theater Lennox Robinson's com
idy of rural Irish life, "The White
Headed Boy."
The story of "The White Headed
3oy" is too well known even in Amer
ca to require any extended review. \
The play was produced in 1915 at the
\bbey Theater, where its author also ?
?appens to be manager and therefore
i dominant figur* in its policy.
The work of Rolg'nson at the Abbey |
Theater sets one wondering how he
ever found time to write a play of any
sort, to say nothing of a piece as ob?
servant and as truly reflective of Irish
life as "The White Headed Boy." He
began his management of the Abbey
Theater three years before the war.
Last year the Abbey Theater produced
forty-five plays, of which seventeen
were new. In snatches of time he
wrote a volume of short stories. He
attended to numerous outside activities,
one of the most important of whiish was
his post as librarian of the Camegia
Trust in Dublin, a position to which
he was recently reflected.
Robinson is a native of Cork, the iva
of a clergyman and his theatrical ac?
tivity dates from a visit of the Abbey
players to Cork.

Play the high-interest current account game to boost your savings
Given the poor rates of interest offered on savings accounts, many savers are opening multiple high-interest current accounts to maximise their returns.
The drawback with this type of account is that banks apply restrictions, such as minimum monthly payments. However, we explain how you can work within these rules to beat the limits and make the most of your cash savings:
Our example applies to a saver with £4,000 available to leave in high-interest current accounts and a further £1,000 to circulate between them.
Step 1: Find highest current account interest rates
Our table above shows you the best rates available on current accounts, along with the number of accounts you can open.
Step 2: Check the high-interest account requirements
Banks often set specific account requirements – such as fees, minimum monthly deposits and direct debits – to qualify for interest or to avoid paying a monthly fee on the account.
Each account limits the balance on which you can earn interest but, in most cases, banks will allow you to open a second main or joint account, essentially doubling that amount.
Watch out for accounts with tiered interest (where you get a higher rate for having a higher balance) as you must have a balance within the top tier to earn the top rate of interest. At lower tiers, these accounts become less competitive.
Step 3: Earn instant cash for switching to a high-interest current account
Banks often offer cash incentives to attract new customers – we compile the latest current account switching incentives here – and switching should only take seven working days.
In this example, we open the Halifax Reward account, which pays £75 for switching plus an ongoing £3 for any month you stay in credit.
Start with £1,000 in this account that will be used to circulate around your high-interest current accounts and return to the same account each month.
Step 4: Open multiple high-interest current accounts
Let's imagine you have a further £4,000 to play with. You could put £2,500 in a Nationwide FlexDirect account (earning £125 in the first year) and another £1,500 in a TSB Plus Account (earning £45 per year) .
If you have more available to save, look further down our table.
For example, the Santander 123 account is the only one paying interest on balances up to £20,000, as well as up to 3% cashback on bills paid by direct debit from your 123 account. If you could deposit the full £20,000, you'd earn £300 a year (£240 after the £5 monthly fee).
Step 5: Transfer cash from your main current account
Transfer the £1,000 from your Halifax Reward account into your Nationwide FlexDirect account so that you meet the minimum £1,000 deposit each month.
At this point, your Nationwide FlexDirect balance will stand at £3,500.
Step 6: Circulate it between your other high-interest current accounts
Now, transfer that £1,000 from your Nationwide FlexDirect account to your TSB Plus account (the minimum monthly deposit on TSB's Plus account is £500 a month).
The balance on your TSB account will now stand at £2,500.
Step 7: Transfer it back to your main current account
Finally, transfer £1,000 from your TSB Plus account back into your main Halifax Reward account.
Step 8: Repeat steps 5 to 7 each month
The easiest way to do this is to set up standing orders (instructions to your bank to pay a set amount at regular intervals to another account) so that the transfers take place automatically every month.
This means you meet the requirements of all the accounts and earn the most interest possible on the whole sum.
How we choose our Best Rate bank accounts
Which? Best Rate current accounts offer the best rates on the market for the scenarios we've used. They also have to meet the following conditions:
- The accounts must be available nationally
- The account provider must be fully covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme
We analyse the whole market and calculate the cost of the account so you can see how much you're likely to pay or how much interest you'll earn if you choose that account. The table is updated daily.
The customer score is based on customer satisfaction and likelihood of recommending company to friend/family member. Customer scores are based at brand level.
Customer scores are based on a survey of an online panel of respondents from the general public, who were invited to take part in the bank account customer-satisfaction survey during September 2017. The final sample size was 5,554.

that team would be pretty good with Nash and Howard, a Ray Allen and a slasher
instead Kobe and Nash directly conflict the entire offense
I watched the other day and I felt like there was 10 straight possessions where I didn't even see Kobe touch the ball
like that'll ever work
I don't think you are to far off. Kobe has to have the ball in his hands and needs to take a million shots. Unfortunately for the Lakers that leaves very few shots for Howard and Gasol.

Spare a thought for Rahul Dravid. Even on the day that he made one of his finest Test centuries against Sri Lanka, most of the news headlines were given over to comments made by a cartoonist-turned-right-wing ideologue. But Bal Thackeray's critical remarks were aimed at Sachin Tendulkar, and nothing gets India into a lather quite like unkind words about its cricketing Peter Pan. So, though Tendulkar's first innings of a third decade in Test cricket lasted just three balls, Dravid's magnificent 177, which led the team from the wilderness of 32 for four to 426 and included his 11,000th Test run, became "in other news".
He's had enough time to get used to it though. Cults of personality are rare in team sport but when present, they can be especially fanatical. Most people can name only one player from the Argentina team that won football's World Cup in 1986. With El Diego around, who could spare the time for Jorge Valdano's finishing or Sergio Batista's tackling? It was always the No10 and the rest.
In some cases, playing alongside a "living God" can be beneficial. Would Scottie Pippen have been a candidate for Hall of Fame induction without all those years of the opposition having to double-team Michael Jordan? Would Jairzinho have scored in every round of the 1970 World Cup without defences suffering collective paralysis in the presence of Pelé?
There was a time a decade ago when the fall of Dravid's wicket was celebrated in the stands because it meant that Tendulkar would be walking out in his place. "It's not easy batting before Sachin, that's for sure," he told me the first time I interviewed him. "Most of the crowd are there to watch him – and half the time, I'm waiting to watch him too."
As the years passed, though, Dravid became just as important to Indian cricket. His nickname may have been The Wall, but in reality, he was the foundation, the rock on which India's most impressive Test successes were built. Until the home victories against Australia (in Mohali) and England (Chennai) last year, where he was a peripheral figure, Dravid's batting was the common thread that linked Indian cricket's most momentous triumphs – Kolkata (2001), Headingley (2002), Adelaide (2003), Rawalpindi (2004) and Perth (2008).
But at some stage during his two tumultuous years as captain, the standards started to slip. He had never been a dominator of attacks, but as the runs started to dry up it was only sheer tenacity that kept him going. Many of the innings he played in that period were dour, uninspired efforts that used up so much emotional energy that there were rarely any hundreds. If there had been any special batsmen on the bench, he would surely have lost his place.
The axe was hovering when the team went to Mohali last December. Even as the nation paid homage to Tendulkar's final-day epic in Chennai, Dravid was reflecting on scores of three and four, and a total of 669 runs from his previous 14 Tests. Before the Mohali Test, with Andrew Flintoff, James Anderson and Stuart Broad lying in wait in the northern mist, he told me: "I need to get runs not only for myself but for all those people who have constantly wanted me to do well." The morale was so low that you feared the worst. Despite having more than 20,000 international runs behind him, he resembled a boxer who had fought one round too many.
And then he went out and made 136. Not the prettiest or most fluent innings you'll ever see, but certainly one of the bravest. Having gone back to the highlights reels – "I watched a few old videos of me batting well to recreate some of those emotions and feelings" – he recognised the batsman that he once was. In New Zealand three months later he scored four half-centuries, and there was scarcely a mistimed shot in Ahmedabad as he drove, cut, glanced and flicked with classical elegance.
"I would be the first one to admit that I'm not a complete player," he told me during that first chat. "There are very few. You have to make your own assessments, set your own standards. Sachin [Tendulkar] and [Brian] Lara are in a different league. For the rest of us mere mortals, it's a constant learning process. I know my strengths, just as I know my limitations. In the end, you have to be effective and choose a method that works for you and the team over a period of time."
The more shallow fans will only realise his value when he's gone. India have only lost one Test in which he's scored a hundred [Harare, 1998]. Dravid turns 37 in January and with India scheduled to play so little Test cricket over the next 18 months, no one knows how long he'll carry on. A middle order without his reassuring solidity doesn't bear thinking about.
There were just over 11,000 people to watch his latest masterclass in Ahmedabad. Starting a Test on Monday in these recession-hit times isn't terribly clever, and it says something about the mindset of a board that gets so much TV revenue it doesn't matter if no one turns up to watch. And honestly, why would they? The seats immediately beneath us had a few years' worth of accumulated bird droppings. Compared to The Oval or Centurion or the Adelaide Oval, this is spectator purgatory. Sadly, those who could do something about it are too busy expanding the IPL to a 94-game season and listening for the ker-ching of the cash registers.

Customers already possessing credit cards often find themselves taking up such offers and ending up with multiple credit cards. The moot question here is: Should you be content with having one credit card, or does it make sense to have multiple cards, and if so then how many are enough?
Let's understand what the benefits and pitfalls of having multiple credit cards could be.
Why would one need more than one card?
Credit limit: If you feel that your credit limit on a single card doesn't suffice, then you may need more than one card. Nevertheless, remember, if you have a good payment history, credit card companies reward you by enhancing your credit limit, which may eliminate the need to go in for an extra card. So make sure you make your credit card payments on time—the benefits are manifold. You credit score will not get adversely impacted, you will not have to pay high interest on your card, and credit card companies may enhance your credit limit.
Convenience: At times, merchants do not accept all cards, i.e., some may accept only Visa or MasterCard. So if you have only one card, you may be inconvenienced. Also, sometimes your card may get rejected for technical and other reasons. So a back-up is required.
Fraud protection: If you use your credit card for online transactions, you may find it useful to use only one card for such purpose and restrict the credit limit on it, so that even if your card details are hacked, the extent of the damage is limited.
Benefit-oriented cards: There are some cards which provide maximum privileges or a good deal if used for a particular purpose, such as petrol purchases or air miles. You may want to take advantage of the same and, therefore, have a card for that purpose only.
What are the drawbacks of having multiple cards?
Credit history: Maintaining a clean credit history is becoming increasingly important with credit bureaus like CIBIL tracking your payments. The probability of missing a payment date is higher if you possess several credit cards as you will have to keep track of the payment date of each of them. If you renege on your payments, your credit history will get affected, which will adversely impact your credit score and your ability to get loans in the future. Multiple credit cards require you be to very responsible.
Purchasing power: Credit cards give you purchasing power as you do not need money in your account to make a purchase. If you are impulsive, then having multiple cards can prove to be a recipe for disaster as you may spend without thinking of your repayment capability. That will result in postponement of payments and over a period of time, accumulate into a large debt.
Effort: Managing multiple cards is an effort because it requires a proper schedule, which you need to figure out and keep a tab on. You need to keep track of the payment dates, the interest-free period and the credit limit.
There is no clear-cut method that determines how many cards are enough. One may not suffice because you need a back-up just in case your credit card is not accepted for some reason. But at the same time, having too many cards requires you to act responsibly so that you do not tarnish your credit history and find yourself in a financial mess. So the next time you receive a call for a credit card, ask yourself whether it adds any value for you and whether you will be able to manage it responsibly.
Point to remember:
It is advisable to make full payment instead of a minimum payment on your credit card bill within the free credit period to avoid interest costs.

Judge: Parts of health care reform unconstitutional
U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson of Virginia today declared parts of the Obama administration's health care reform law unconstitutional. The judge said that the mandate for individual coverage exceeds Congress's power to regulate economic activity under the commerce clause and could not be upheld under the general welfare clause. On Thursday, a federal judge in Florida will hear arguments in a challenge to the mandate in the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act brought by 20 state attorneys general and a handful of governors. Two other federal judges, one in Michigan and one in another Virginia district, have upheld the mandate's constitutionality.

Judge: CLEMENT
This appeal involves a doctor's challenge to disciplinary charges brought against him by the Department of Health, Division of Health Related Boards. After the trial court denied the doctor's request for a temporary injunction prohibiting the defendant from proceeding with a hearing on the disciplinary charges, the doctor filed a notice of appeal to this court. Because the order appealed does not resolve all the claims raised by the doctor, we dismiss the appeal for lack of a final judgment.

Sharp nomination seen as Democratic delegation snub
With his
nomination of Nashville lawyer Kevin Sharp
to a federal judgeship, President Barack Obama chose to curry favor with Tennessee's powerful Republican senators and snubbed Tennessee's Democratic congressional delegation, reports the Tennessean. Republicans preferred Sharp, but Democrats wanted Nashville lawyer Kathryn Barnett. "This is a political appointment. There is a strong element of qualification involved, but there also is a strong element of politics involved," said 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Senior Judge Gilbert S. Merritt Jr. "The president has to weigh both and make a decision." Rep.

North Carolina suspends Easley's law license
Former governor and attorney general Mike Easley of North Carolina has had his law license suspended while attorney disciplinary proceedings are ongoing. The action was taken earlier this week after he made an Alford plea last month to a single felony count in Wake County Superior Court. In an Alford plea, a defendant doesn't acknowledge guilt but agrees there is enough evidence to convict him. Easley's conviction was for knowingly filing a false campaign report. He was sentenced to pay a $1,000 fine and $153 in court costs.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WYTV) – States like Ohio are taking minimum wage issues into their own hands, not waiting for action from Congress.
In Washington this week, residents and activists celebrated the District of Columbia increasing its minimum wage 75 cents to $9.50 an hour. But it's not alone. Ohio and 12 other states raised their minimum wages in January and 34 states are considering increases.
"States have to take the initiative because they've waited around too long and they see their residents and their constituents, as far as the lawmakers are concerned, are suffering," said Boaz Young-El, Legislative Representative for United Food and Commercial Workers.
Analyst Dave Cooper from the Economic Policy Institute says opponents are concerned wage hikes will be bad for businesses, raising costs and ultimately reducing the number of employees they can hire.
"The best research we have shows that modest increases in the minimum wage really have no effect on employment whatsoever," Cooper said. "But what they do show is that these workers, after the minimum wage is raised, have a little more income, have a little more money in their pockets, they can go out and spend a little more."
But the argument isn't that simple. Other analysts say a minimum wage rise will hurt the people it's intended to help.
"If we raise the price of labor for the grocery store, for the clerks and for the people that come in at night and stock the shelves at night, that forces the store to raise their prices and so when a low income person goes to the store to shop," said Brian Williams, Legislative Director of National Center for Policy Analysis. "Now all of a sudden they're facing increased prices."
However, if it comes down to it, Williams says states, not Congress, should make the decisions on raising the minimum wage.
"A federal minimum wage is a one-size fits all and we have a country," Williams said. "If you have a grocery store in Mississippi, it's different than a grocery store in Greenwich, Connecticut. If you have federal minimum wage, it's impossible to apply that one-size fits all to the entire country."
Congress hasn't changed the minimum wage since 2009, when it rose to $7.25. Ohio's wage is automatically tied to inflation rates, but currently set at $7.95.
Nine state representatives, including Youngstown-area Democrat Bob Hagan, introduced an Ohio house bill to raise it to $10.10 by next January.

New generations of oral contraceptives may be safer, says studyJanuary 15th, 2009 - 6:08 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Jan 15 (ANI): A new study has shown that new generations of oral contraceptives may be safer than the early high-dose formulations.
However, all the risks and benefits are yet to be established.
"Health care providers must evaluate each woman''s risk factors, especially those related to cardiovascular health, prior to starting any contraceptive therapy, said Dr. Chrisandra L. Shufelt, assistant director of the Women''s Heart Center at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute.
Although pre-menopausal women have a much lower risk of cardiovascular disease, routine screening for potential problems and follow-up is important," she added.
The earlier contraceptives used higher levels of oestrogen than the newer formulations, which are now available not only in pill form but in patches and vaginal rings.
The newer formulations use lower doses of oestrogen, which is safer in terms of lowering the risk of blood clots, and they tend to use a progestin, a synthetic version of progesterone that is not likely to raise blood pressure and may even slightly reduce it.
According to the researchers, any woman considering the use of contraceptives should be evaluated for cholesterol levels, blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, kidney problems, obesity and other vascular diseases, including migraines.
Healthy, non-smoking women aged 35 or more can continue taking a low dose oral contraceptive until 50 to 55 years after reviewing the risks and benefits.
The report appears in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. (ANI)

text: `ud` is a package I've looked after for a while now, after adopting it in the past because I used it personally. It is an `uptime monitor` which will write out a status page keeping track of your three highest uptimes. Recently it was raised upon the debian-amd64 list as being the kind of script which is better suited to being python/perl/ruby instead of the compiled C. (Because the C turns out to be a little buggy - and hard to modify.) The majority of the open bugs against the package could be easily fixed if it were to be recoded is some kind of shell script. The only thing that's stopping this from happening is that it must run regularly to deal with cases of non-clean shutdowns. As I see it there are two choices: 1. Run as a daemon in the background, waking up regularly. 2. Run via a cron job. (Running a cron job every five minutes seems a little gross ..) Anyway, many developers seem to believe that Perl is too heavy-weight, and should be removed from the base system. Whilst I'm happy to recode the core application I wonder if it's a sensible approach to take? Upstream is dead. I can put it together and make a sensible upgrade path without too many problems. But the added overhead of running perl/python/ruby concerns me. Any feedback either way would be appreciated. Steve --

Editorial: Molding academic heroes
March 19, 2011
Our View
Much of today's society places accolades on traditional high school idols, like those in athletics. However, in the face of our schools' declining test scores, we need to prioritize the recognition of heroes in the classroom to motivate our students to succeed in all aspects of learning and life.
Take a walk down Moffat County High School's hallways and it is hard not to spot them. They're idols among students — athletic heroes and social royalty, so to speak.
However, what is harder to find are students who pursue a different aspiration — lofty academic achievement.
Sure top athletic positions and the other socially prominent roles have their place in the high school landscape. They probably always will.
But, in the face of declining test scores in the county and large budget cuts handed down from the state, we need to do something to make a priority out of recognizing students who excel academically.
The Editorial Board contends there are very few top academic positions for our students to pursue. That needs to change.
We need to make it equally desirable to have good grades as it is to start on whatever team — athletic or otherwise.
Recommended Stories For You
It gets back to the notion that instead of pulling our students up through the system and hoping they'll make it in the real world, we need to place the fruit a little higher on the tree and give them a reason to want to make it.
Let's face it — we live in a society where everybody gets a ribbon.
Academics are no different. Instead of scratching and clawing for top academic honors, our students are being rewarded for what should be expected of them.
The Editorial Board sat down with MCHS Principal Thom Schnellinger to discuss a few solutions to this problem.
The first item we asked about was the high school's decision to not have a valedictorian in the true sense of the word, but rather a group of valedictorians.
The root of the situation is the school doesn't have weighted grades, and before the school made it so students could not achieve more than a 4.0 grade point average, there was too much parent fighting over the top spot, Schnellinger contends.
That's understandable considering the weight the title has on college applications and job resumes.
However, the Editorial Board would like to see that lone, top spot re-established as something our students can set their sights on.
Schnellinger also elaborated on the school's boy and girl of the year award, which takes into account extracurricular activities, athletics and other factors not just tied to academics.
This award has merit because having well-rounded students is important to our society.
We think if we can't bring back the lone valedictorian, then this top honor should be promoted and pushed more than it currently is as the most desirable award for our students to achieve.
We're not convinced such emphasis will make a sizeable dent in the problem, but we have to start somewhere.
We must get rid of the attitude that mediocrity is acceptable.
Schnellinger and the Editorial Board agree we need to develop more rigor in the classroom and make it harder for students to pass through the system. But, we need to give them a reason to want to succeed because most don't realize the importance until it's too late.
These students need to know what it is to lose.
They need to know what it is to get in over their heads and work their way out — to struggle to find success and feel the rewards once achieved.
Regardless of the classroom subject, the lessons they learn will be much greater than rewarding mediocrity as we have for too long.

I recently completed 40 minutes of continuous, non-stop freefall. Or at least that's what my brain experienced. My body was lying on a hospital bed, an IV plugged into my vein flowing a steady stream of ketamine, a drug with hallucinogenic side effects. The ketamine treatments were part of a clinical trial to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, better known as PTSD. I've suffered from PTSD for a long time due to military experiences, and I jumped at the chance to be part of this study. Most treatments don't work at all on PTSD. In fact, aside from ketamine, only one other thing has proven effective (for me at least): skydiving. more »
"Skydiving changed my life." I´m sure this is an overused phrase. However, I believe I have valid arguments to use it. Should I tell you my story?
My name is Marcela Gallardo; I'm a 42-year-old woman, mother of three daughters, wife and grandmother. I live in Neuquen City, Argentina, and it's been two years now since my first tandem jump.

I grew up a skinny little girl who was afraid of everything. My father, who had been an aerial photographer in World War II, encouraged me to try whatever I set my mind to. On the other hand, my mother kept telling me I was too small and a girl and couldn't do anything.
In spite of this paradox in upbringing, I must have been born with the taste of pixie dust in my mouth, because all I wanted to do was fly. I watched the TV show "Ripcord" as a child and thought I could do it, like the little engine that could. After all, my heroes Mighty Mouse, Peter Pan and Superman could fly. more »
On November 26, 2013, my life as I knew it changed in a matter of seconds. My husband committed suicide in front of me. At that moment, time froze. I was a widow at the age of 33. In an instant, I was left a single mommy of two little girls, one four months old and the other six years old. The next few months flew by in a blur. more »
In November 2011, I started AFF at Skydive the Farm, which is now located in Cedartown, Georgia, and little did I know what a difference that decision was going to make in my life. It started with a rule I made for myself that summer: If it sounded fun, I would try it. more »

To describe how skydiving changed my life, I'll begin with why I did it in the first place. In February 2013, I sustained a complete ACL tear and three impaction fractures while practicing my other great passion in life, tae kwon do. The orthopedic surgeon gave two options: 1) have reconstructive surgery including a tissue graft followed by nine months of physical therapy or 2) never do martial art or sports involving legs again. The decision was easy, since a life without recreation is unimaginable to me. However, nine months with no tae kwon do, no gym, no sports, no anything except physical rehab was a bitter pill. more »

When I got my pre-second issue of Parachutist, as soon as I read "How Skydiving Changed My Life, " I knew I wanted to write one. But I was barely licensed and hadn't been in the sport long enough to know what effect it would have on me. Now, more than a year later, I have learned much more. more »

A tandem was something I had always wanted to do, but I was just out of college and very concerned with the mountain of student loans I was just beginning to climb. I didn't feel right about spending that much money on something "frivolous," but if I had only known then that $250 would become my average weekly spending on the sport, I might not have given it a second thought. more »

I woke up to the voice of my ground instructor repeatedly calling my name through the crackling radio at my ear, urgently yelling at me to untwist my lines. After a moment of disoriented confusion, I instinctively recalled what I had learned during my long day of static-line training. I checked altitude and kicked out three to four rotations of line twist. Once under a stable canopy, I realized I had absolutely no memory following the moment my hands slipped from the strut of the Cessna 182, a yellow smiley-face sticker taunting me from the underside of the wing I didn't want to let go of. I had completely blacked out from fear. But within a minute, I was safe, the radio was quiet, and I took a moment to look around me. Seeing a patchwork quilt of farmland stretching for miles, vibrant under the clear blue sky I was briefly a part of, I felt the greatest sense of freedom in my life. I began laughing and kicking my legs like a kid on a swing as terror transformed into pure joy. more »

Recently, I returned to skydiving after a 19-year hiatus. When I left the sport I was a 6-foot-tall, 185-pound young man and returned as a 6-foot-tall, 224-pound middle-aged man. Much of the change in my weight reflected a change in my body composition. I put on 20 pounds of lean mass; however, I also added 20 pounds of fat. These changes definitely affected my performance. Most men my age can relate to that few pounds they need to lose. After all, the average American is more than 23 pounds overweight. The problem was that my new body put me on the DZ as "that guy." You know, the guy with the ballistic fall rate, the guy who always goes low, the guy who everyone groans about when they see him walking up for dive organization. I wasn't prepared to be "that guy" when I returned to the sport, and it was emotionally challenging. more »

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
No gift of royalties are made so far in my will. The mirror wills for my husband and I were made a number of years ago before I became a published author. Yes, as my husband and I are both in our mid 70s, so I would want to leave them to my daughter, should I outlive my husband. Can I do this as a codicil? Our wills are at present with a solicitor for safe keeping, btw.
I take your point about it being simpler and cheaper to ask the solicitor to add an extra clause than draft a new codicil. However, I don't have access to the solicitor any more who drew up the wills for me and my husband. As I said earlier, they are at present as far as I know just filed with a local solicitors for safe keeping. Would this mean a clause cannot be added and I would have to draft a new codicil? Can this be done, btw, using the Free Wills arrangement for charity. This was how we drew up our original mirror wills about 15 years ago?
Thanks, ***** ***** I realised once I'd asked the question, that what you suggest regarding preparing a new will next time a promotion is on, probably might be my best option. I appreciate the advice you've given me and I don't think there really isn't anything further to ask. Thanks again.

Gordon R. Willey Lecture
Four Thousand Years Ago in Coastal Peru: America's First Civilization?
Listen to the lecture: "Four Thousand Years Ago in Coastal Peru" (mp3) 1:08:00
Could the ancient city of Caral in Peru be the oldest city in the Western Hemisphere?
The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology presents the Gordon R. Willey lecture, Four Thousand Years Ago in Coastal Peru: America's First Civilization? by Dr. Michael E. Moseley, a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Florida, Gainesville.
In 1943 and again in 1971, Harvard archaeologist Gordon Willey investigated the monumental site Aspero in Peru's Supe desert valley. Later, Peruvian scholars identified 16 more early monumental centers, including Caral, in the Supe desert valley. Covering more than 130 acres, Caral was an urban center with large temple mounds that predate Giza's famed pyramids. In this illustrated talk, archaeologist Michael Moseley will discuss the four-thousand year-old architectural monuments in the Supe desert valley that are the focus of claims for the earliest civilization in the Americas.
About Michael Moseley
Dr. Michael Moseley earned his doctorate from Harvard University studying coastal Peru, and went on to become a curator at the Peabody Museum and the Field Museum before joining the University of Florida. He writes, "I am privileged to have conducted field studies with students and colleagues on the full temporal spectrum of indigenous evolution in the Americas and the Andes… my research interests are trans-disciplinary, embracing ideologies of corporate art and monumental architecture, political economies of subsistence and settlement systems, and adaptive responses to dynamic stress of social and environmental origin. My investigative methodologies are eclectic, ranging from traditional to art history through new technologies of regional landscape analysis. I invite exceptionally inquisitive minds with superior credentials to enjoy a mutual thirst for evolutionary understanding of the Native American achievement."

Pre-race routine:
Up at 7, potty, coffee, bagel with pb, bottle of Perpetuem. Review gear checklist for transitions, air up tires, pack transition bag, head down the hill from the campground to the lake.
Event warmup:
Brief jog, potty stop, sneak into the water a few heats ahead of mine, get scolded by start staff for getting in water early.
This was my best open water swim yet. Felt strong and confident but frustrated at the bad navigation on the way back in.
What would you do differently?:
Swim a better line on the way back in!
Transition 1
My transition spot was closer to the swim than the bike so I had to run quite a ways with bike shoes on. Wet suit got stuck on both feet in spite of copious amounts of body glide on my ankles and the outside of the suit. Went 20s faster than last year.
What would you do differently?:
Roll socks on rather than pull them on.
Three minutes faster than last year. Flying on the downhills and flats but struggling to hang on on the climbs. My gearing was definately too steep for this course.
What would you do differently?:
Should have used the cassette from my road bike which is a few teeth bigger.
Transition 2
23s faster than last year. Good hustle.
What would you do differently?:
Had three gels in my running had thinking I would choose flavors. Ended up taking all three without thinking. Should have just had two in there.
Ouch. Thighs were toasted. I knew this would be a rough run for me when I did a 15 minute warm up the day before. Thighs have been very tired for days and with the efforts to learn a new running style I don't think the right muscles are developed yet. That said, I didn't think it would be this bad. Plan was to walk up the tough hills and easy jog the rest. Had stomach cramps in the first half mile that lasted until about mile four. Limiting factor was definately leg strength. Even the run down lynch hill at the end was slower than last year as I didn't have the power to control myself well on the downhill.
What would you do differently?:
I'm sure this will get better as the season goes on. If I had gone a bit easier on the bike, not gone all out in last weekends 8k, started my running season earlier, and ran more hills, this could have been better.
Post race
Warm down:
Walk, stretch, Hammer Recoverite, banana, water, egg roll.
What limited your ability to perform faster:
Hammies and quads. See above.
Event comments:
Wildflower is an amazing event. The vibe is fun and the people are energetic. Very well run, on time, good support. Fun camping and a beautiful site.
This is my third year at this event with my brother and mom. My bro is a strong swimmer and runner but I'm faster on the bike. I caught him at mile 21 on the bike and he got me back about a half mile into the run and stayed with me the rest of the way. Super fun running with him and finishing together--can't wait to see the finish pics.
Met MadKat in transition before the race, sorry I didn't catch you at the end MadKat, hope you had a grat race! Recognized JWryals in the finish chute and introduced myself. Nice meeting both of you guys even though it was brief.
NUTRITION: Followed coaches strategy of an aero bottle of Perpetuem on the bike, Hammer gel near the end of the bike, and two more gels on the run. Worked out well, grabbed a water bottle at the last aid station on the bike to wash down the gel. Cheated a little bit on the run and had a little bit of Gatorade at two of the stations--the sugary goodness was callin' my name. A big improvement over last year is that my stomach was not upset after the bike. I hope this is due to the change from Gatorade to Perpetuem. Took on lots of water after the finish, would have been interesting to see how much water I lost during the race.
Bro and I both rocked the Tri Donkai kits, totally fun hearing people yelling for Tri Donkai.

It's part of a National Science Foundation-funded program to help young children learn language skills, suggesting that forming a bond with a teacher plays an important role in the educational process. The dragon will be brought to preschool classes to help test out this hypothesis. Hopefully a robotic knight will also be on-hand, just in case.

To the uninitiated, any loud music is called heavy metal. In reality, there are a multitude of heavy metal styles and subgenres. Heavy metal is a wide umbrella characterizing a style of music that is generally loud and aggressive. There are genres that are very melodic and mainstream, and other genres that are extreme and underground. Here's a brief overview of heavy metal and its many styles.

History

The term "heavy metal" was first used in a musical sense in the '60s song "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf when they referred to "heavy metal thunder." Although there are debates among experts, most consider groups like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple to be the first heavy metal bands. From there the style evolved and branched into many different genres and subgenres. Heavy metal remains a vital force in music today, with sellout concert tours and CDs selling impressive numbers of copies without any radio airplay or MTV exposure.

Musical and Vocal Styles

The backbone of heavy metal is the electric guitar. You can't have metal without at least one guitarist, and many bands have two or more. Certain genres have some quiet and mellow parts, but most metal is loud, intense, fast and aggressive. The vocal styles in heavy metal range from melodic singing to aggressive singing to unintelligible screaming, depending on the genre.

Genres

At the beginning, there was just traditional heavy metal. Shortly after it evolved and splintered into many different styles and subgenres. This site has a series of articles on many of the genres that will give you a more in-depth look at that particular type of metal. As time has gone on, there are literally hundreds of subgenres, but these are some of the main genres of heavy metal:

Avant Garde Metal
Also called experimental metal, it's characterized by unusual and nontraditional instruments and song structures.
Examples: Arcturus, Dog Fashion Disco, Mr. Bungle, Peccatum, Vintersorg

Black Metal
Characterized by high-pitched raspy vocals and pagan/satanic lyrical imagery. Symphonic black metal is a subgenre that uses keyboards and is more melodic.
Examples: Bathory, Burzum, Emperor, Mayhem, Venom

Celtic Metal
A combination of heavy metal and Celtic music with lyrics focusing on Celtic mythology.
Examples: Cruachan, Geasa, Waylander

Death Metal
An extreme form of the genre that uses distorted guitars and a growling vocal style sometimes described as "cookie monster" vocals.
Examples: Cannibal Corpse, Death, Deicide, Morbid Angel

Doom Metal
A genre that uses slower tempos and emphasizes gloomy, melancholy and atmospheric music. There are numerous subgenres of doom, including drone, epic, industrial, sludge and stoner.
Examples: Candlemass, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Solstice

Gothic Metal
A combination of the darkness and melancholy of goth rock with heavy metal. The lyrics tend to be epic and melodramatic. This is a genre that uses a lot of male/female vocal combinations with the male vocalist generally using more aggressive vocals and the female singing in an ethereal soprano.
Examples: Lacuna Coil, Leaves Eyes, Theatre Of Tragedy, Tristania.

Grindcore
This is a genre influenced by thrash metal and death metal. It takes its name from the sound of the atonal guitar riffs combined with blast beats from the bass drum. The vocals are similar to death metal.
Examples: Carcass, Napalm Death, Nasum, Pig Destroyer, Terrorizer

Hair Metal
Also called pop metal and hairspray metal, this genre is very melodic and mass appeal. Some of the most commercially successful and critically despised bands came from this genre. They wore a lot of makeup and had huge teased hair, thus the name. They received a lot of radio airplay and chart success in the late '80s and early '90s until grunge rock destroyed it.
Examples: Poison, Ratt, Warrant, Winger, White Lion

Metalcore
This genre is currently very popular and combines heavy metal with hardcore. They use the musical style of heavy metal, especially melodic death metal, and the shouting vocal style of hardcore. Breakdowns are also heavily utilized.
Examples: As I Lay Dying, God Forbid, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM)
This genre has influenced almost all metal that has followed it. These were the metal pioneers that took the original sound of groups like Black Sabbath and took out the rock and blues influences to make the traditional metal sound that we're familiar with today.
Examples: Def Leppard, Diamond Head, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon

Nu-Metal
Combining heavy metal riffs with hip-hop influences and rapped lyrics, this genre became very popular in the late '90s through the early 2000's and then fell from favor. There are a few bands of this style still doing well, although most have come and gone.
Examples: Korn, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Slipknot

Power Metal
A very melodic form of metal that utilizes soaring guitars and strong vocals, usually in a higher register. It's also an epic style, with long songs and many lyrics about mythology, fantasy, and metaphysical topics. Most power metal bands also have a keyboardist.
Examples: Blind Guardian, Fate's Warning, Helloween, Jag Panzer

Progressive Metal
A mixture of heavy metal and progressive rock, this genre utilizes many of the characteristics of avant-garde and power metal. The song structures are complex, using many time signatures and key changes and are usually long. The lyrics are epic and often progressive metal albums are concept albums, utilizing a main theme that runs throughout.
Examples: Dream Theater, Evergrey, Fates Warning, Queensryche

Thrash Metal
This genre evolved from NWOBHM and became heavier and more extreme. It's characterized by fast guitar and double bass drum with aggressive but understandable vocals. Some of the most popular bands in metal started as thrash bands, although most evolved as they went along.
Examples: Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer

The Future

The great thing about heavy metal is that it is continually changing, evolving and improving. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more extreme, something new comes along. Whether you prefer the melody and complexity of power metal or the aggression and intensity of death metal, it's all part of this widely encompassing genre called heavy metal.
