Do Tests Always Trump the Symptoms?
Mar 8, 2010
I am a male in my late 30's and had protected vaginal sex with a Jamaican prostitute 1 year ago. I had no idea of the risk -- I know it all too well now. My life since then has been complete hell. I would like your expert opinion on whether I should stop worrying every second of my life and move on or continue digging.
Here is the synopsis of what has happened since that night.
First, the risk. Obviously high although I wore protection. I know it didn't break -- I checked it afterwards. She told me she was clean (for whatever that was worth). I showered before and after.
Second, testing. I have tested negative over and over again. I tested negative using the HIV 1 Home Access Test at 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 18, 21, 25, 38, and 52 weeks. I tested negative with the Oraquick HIV 1/2 test at 12 and 28 weeks. I tested negative with a NAT test which I requested from my doctor at 8 weeks. And negative using a test I ordered online for HIV 1 & 2 and Group O at 14 weeks. I also tested negative for Hepatitis B & C.
Excessive, I know. But this is why.
Third, symptoms. My symptoms since that day have been the following:
- 2 days later, extreme exhaustion and dark circles under my eyes that continued for about 2 months. - About 1 week later, the complete inability to sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time. This lasted for about 3 weeks. - A yeast/jock itch infection at 4, 6, and 8 weeks. I finally got it under control using talcam powder. Has been in check since but I started eating yogurt daily for the first time in my life. - Immediate weight loss of about 20 lbs. But this coincided with my giving up drinking cold turkey after that night -- previously I would drink 6-8 bottles of wine a week and then binge eat at night. - A red rash on my face, flaking forehead and nose folds, and extremely itchy scalp from weeks 4-8 which I assume was seborrheic dermatitis. I sware I saw this happen. I had an unusual dot in the middle of my forehead that looked like something was burrowing. Hours later the hole was covered up. And the next day all of this started. The flaky forehead has continued off and on. My head has been fine since (except for a number of pimples or swollen follicles on the back of my head). - A general feeling of nausea, hot flashes, and general discomfort from 4-6 weeks. - 5-6 Ulcers in various locations in my mouth and a burning sensation on my tongue. Also found deep pockets in 2 of my back teeth (although I have been fighting this problem for over 5 years). - When I awake and pee for the first time, my urine is so foamy it looks like I just poured a glass of beer. - A couple of periods with mild diarrhea and what seems like unusually large stools. - Constant ringing in my right ear. My doctor flushed out a ton of wax but it is still happening.
My doctor knows my symptoms but has admitted not being an expert in this disease. My doctor has ordered numerous blood tests, a urine test, a kidney/liver ultasound, etc. but has not ordered any additional HIV tests or CD4 testing. So far the only irregularity is that I have a high liver enzyme (which I have known about for over 4 years).
I am in absolute terror. Can I believe these test results or I am some sort of outlier? I want to stop worrying and spending countless hours looking for answers, but every time I try to move on, random symptoms pop back up.
I have read all the posts that say the tests trump the symptoms. Is that true here? What would you advise I do next?
Response from Dr. Frascino
I'll make a few brief comments:
1. HIV is not your problem. No way. No how. No additional HIV tests are warranted. You've had way too many already.
2. Your risk is not "high," but rather very low, because you used a condom and it did not break.
3. Your testing is extremely excessive. Exactly what part of HIV negative are you having difficulty understanding?
4. Symptoms are notoriously unreliable in predicting who is and is not HIV infected. Yes, a negative HIV test outside the window period trumps symptoms each and every time.
5. You are not an outlier. You are an anxious wreck with totally irrational fears.
6. As for what I would advise next, that's easy. Yell WOO-HOO and stop all this nonsense! Frevinsakes!

Talladega: The next major test for Gen-6
Talladega, AL – NASCAR's new Sprint Cup Series race car, the Gen-6, will be a big topic again this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.
The Gen-6 wasn't exactly a hit in the first restrictor-plate race of the season, the Feb. 24 Daytona 500. The somewhat disappointing race at Daytona International Speedway featured just 28 lead changes due to a lack of passing. In fact, there were long periods of drivers running in single file before things got dicey in the closing laps.
Talladega and Daytona are both restrictor-plate tracks in NASCAR, but Talladega is slightly bigger and wider than Daytona.
So, will we see more passing and side-by-side racing at Talladega compared to Daytona?
"I would expect the racing to be similar to Daytona," said Matt Kenseth, who won the most recent race at Talladega last October. "Now, I dropped out of Daytona in the last 50 laps (due to engine failure), but I would expect the racing to be similar, because there were no rule changes. The tracks are a little bit different. There's more room at Talladega. I don't think handling will be a huge issue, although it actually kind of was for some cars. I expect it to be the same.
"But I will say that in Daytona, it's not that people don't want to take chances. It's not like you don't want to pass. If everybody could go up there, have a shot at leading, they will go do that. It's just circumstances and the way the car was and the way the draft worked. It just made the racing different. You had to be much more patient than you had to be last year. You had to be much more calculating with your move."
Kenseth, who made his first start in the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Daytona 500, led a race-high 86 laps before his engine expired, which resulted in a 37th-place finish.
Sprint Cup teams will find out how fast and how well the car handles at this 2.66-mile track during Friday's practice sessions. Qualifying for Sunday's race is scheduled for Saturday.
"I'm certainly very anxious to see, because it's a bigger, wider racetrack compared to Daytona," said Hendrick Motorsports driver and six-time Talladega race winner Jeff Gordon. "In Daytona, I felt like we learned a lot about being very patient and picking and choosing your moments to try to make passes. I certainly tried to make some that didn't work out and cost us a lot of positions. We saw single file through the middle section of the race, but yet still be extremely exciting in the closing laps. I think that you are going to see certainly that at the end.
"The unknown is with this bigger, wider track. Are we going to be able to complete those passes that we weren't able to do at Daytona? We did see handling be a bigger issue at Daytona, when you were around other cars on the longer runs. That doesn't normally seem to be the case at Talladega, so we won't know until we get there, get in practice, start drafting and run our race."
While there is a lot of curiosity about the car's first time at Talladega, drivers are more concerned about making it through the 500-mile race without being involved in "the big one." When NASCAR comes to this track, you can expect one or more major crashes to occur.
That was certainly the case here seven months ago when a 25-car accident occurred on the final turn of the last lap. Tony Stewart, who was leading at the time, triggered the wreck when he drove down the track and into the path of Michael Waltrip while trying to protect his lead. After Waltrip hit him from behind, Stewart's car spun around and then flipped over onto several other vehicles. Dale Earnhardt Jr. suffered a concussion during that wreck and had to miss the championship Chase races at Charlotte and Kansas.
"Someone described racing on the superspeedways of being a combination of a science project and the luck of a casino, and it's exactly that way," Stewart said. "You do everything in your power to take care of the science or technology side, do everything you can to build the fastest car you've got.
"But if you don't have the luck to go with it, even if you don't have any drama with getting the car touched - nothing happens to the car - if you're just in the wrong spot at the wrong time at the end, it can take you out of whatever opportunity you had. You can have the best race car in the field and not get the chance to get through to the front."
While Kenseth was quickly declared the race winner, it took nearly one hour for NASCAR to review the video of the final lap and determine the finishing order.
"I don't think I've ever seen a race at Talladega that wasn't a great, entertaining, edge of your seat race, so I don't see why that would be any different," Kenseth said.
Kenseth's JGR teammate, Kyle Busch, avoided the big wrecks at Talladega last year, finishing second in the spring race and third in the fall event.
"I would say Talladega is 80 percent mental and 20 percent physical, while most other non-restrictor-plate races are 80 percent physical and 20 percent mental," said Busch, who turned 28 years old on Thursday. "Both races there last year, we survived the big wreck but just came up short both times, so I'm hoping to be in position with our (car) on Sunday to give it another shot at the win."
Danica Patrick will compete in a Sprint Cup race at Talladega for the first time. Patrick, in her first full season in the series, won the pole position for the Daytona 500. She became the highest-finishing female ever in that event with an eighth-place run. She was running in third on the last lap but lost momentum, as she was shuffled back in the pack.
"I feel like I've learned some lessons from Daytona about the draft and how that unfolds at the end, if you are in the right place at the right time," Patrick said. "I think that, when we talk superspeedway racing, there's a lot of luck involved. Like I said, right place at the right time - there are a lot of people who have a good chance of winning Talladega, I think. Hopefully, we are one of them at the end of the race. But, we won't know that until end of the race."
Forty-four teams are on the preliminary entry list for the Aaron's 499.
Series: NASCAR Sprint Cup. Date: Sunday, May 5. Race: Aaron's 499. Site: Talladega Superspeedway. Track: 2.66-mile oval. Start time: 1 p.m. ET. Laps: 188. Miles: 500. 2012 Winner: Brad Keselowski. Television: FOX. Radio: Motor Racing Network (MRN)/SIRIUS NASCAR Radio.

Sally Winn returned to her hometown of Crawfordsville Wednesday to deliver her talk "Refuse to Choose: Reclaiming Feminism."
"Being a feminist against abortion is not an oxymoron," Winn said. "I hope all of you walk out of here with a different perspective."
Winn is the Senior Communications Director of Feminist for Life (FFL), an organization dedicated to enhancing and necessitating women who are faced with a life-altering decision when becoming pregnant.
"Women today get abortions not necessarily because they choose to do so, but because they have a lack of options," Winn said. "Abortion in not a solution but a symptom of the problem. Suffrage works to change society to accept women, the second wave of feminism changed women to be accepted by society and we have been paying for it ever since."
FFL is an organization dedicated to activities and encourages people to be catalyst for leadership and change.
"Today there are approximately 1.3 million surgical abortions in the United States," Winn said. "Every 38 seconds your sister, mother, girlfriend, or your best friend is laying down her body for an abortion. Women are having abortions for two primary reasons; one for lack of emotional support and two for lack of financial resources. It is not about controlling our bodies it is about being coerced."
Winn urged her audience to be activist in the fight for women's rights.
"It is time for our friends, families, boyfriends, and universities to wake up smell the coffee," Winn said. "We are women. We are not men and we have children, so get over it. Accommodate us for who we are instead of forcing us to be something we are not. We refuse to choose between women and our children."
Members of the audience offered their thoughts and reflections after the talk.
"It seems to me that every women has the right to have resources when dealing with the issue of pregnancy," Senior Sterling Carter said. "However, I am curious as to where these resources come from. In our capitalist society everyone is by nature individual and each individual can take care of himself or herself. I wonder if she is advocating some sort of socialized medicine. It seems like a very good plan and all these ideas should be done, but where these resources will come from is something that needs to be addressed."
"She provoked and gave an interesting perspective," Religion Professor Dr. David Blix said.
"I don't think anyone ever wants to be in a situation where they have to make a decision regarding an unplanned pregnancy," Senior Nate Mullendore said. "That having been said I think the one thing that really struck me about what she said was that we are not trying to make abortion illegal we are trying to make it unthinkable. No one wants to have an abortion I don't think. I think what is important is not to remove choices from people but enable them to have a set of choices to make."
The Wabash Commentary and the Gender Issues Committee sponsored Winn's talk.

Stockleys in Australia.
It seems I have a lot of stockley ancestors in England but i am struggling to find any real leads. my great grandfather came here with his wife, my grandad and my great uncle in 1928. I have gone back a little way to Thomas William Stockley b 1845 in Brentford, England and he died 13 Nov 1934.
He was married to Emma Richardson. this makes thomas my 5 generations great grandad. I would love to know as much as possible about my stockly family. What I do know is that we all seem to be from london area. esp Brentford.. There is also one of my great great uncles - James Attle Stockley who immigrated to Canada and served in a number of battles and wars. According to his war file he was heavily tattooed. If you have anyone from thhis line in your family tree please contact me via email.. [email protected]
Stephen Waldron
I am a waldron descendant. I have traced us back to 1495. I also have the waldron family history book. The end of the book talks about Stephen waldron and his wife Elizabeth Walker. It does not say how they are related to us though. I would love some information on this.
Stephen was born 02/10/1807 in Castle Bromwick Aston Parish, St Philip, Birmingham, Warwick, England. He died in South Brisbane, Australia in 20/05/1888. Buried in the Toowong Cemetery
His wife was Elizabeth Waldron(nee Walker)She was born 1813 and died on 05/07/1865 at Jane Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
They were married in Warwickshire, England UK on 10/05/1836.
They had 6 children. I have all the info on the family but cannot figure out the connection. There must be one otherwise why would they be in our family bible?
Any info would be great
My hard work seems to be paying off
I was asked by a lady if would tell her how I have managed to do my family tree. She published it today in an online magazine
I hope you enjoy it.
James Fisher and Mary Ann Welch
Seeking any and all information on my 5 generations, great great great grand parents James Fisher and Mary Ann Welch.
Married 27 Jul 1857, Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire, England, UK
They had 4 children. i have the descendants all recorded but have hit a wall trying to find there ancestry. I hope there is someone else out there looking for them too. Please contact me!!
Albert Ernest Chauntler Puttock
My great great grandfather.
To start, let's talk name. It seems that this is one of those names that has been lost in translation one to many times. Some records have Chaunntler, Chantler, Chauntler, Chaunnter, Chaunter, Chanter. I was always raised that he was Chauntler Puttock.
Albert was born 15/09/1875 in Streatham, England, UK. He was a man of wealth.
25/12/1897 He married my great great grandmother, Gertrude Smith at St. Pauls Cathedral in London.
They only had one child together. This being my great grandmother Lillian Gertrude Chauntler Puttock. Lillian married George Robert Stockley at St George, Old Brentford, England on 23 Apr 1921.
Albert was a "well to do" man. So when his wifes brother, Percy was diagnosed with Tuberculosis, Albert agreed to pay and take Percy to South Africa to the TB camp for treatment. So he left his wife and new baby and accompanied Percy.
Sometime after Percy was healed of the disease and returned home but Albert never ever did. Gertrude died a few months later of Tuberculosis.
So what became of Albert??? I beleive he married a woman in South Africa and lived there til he died.
I would love information on him especially date of death and grave?
I figure he must have known Gertrude was sick so he left to South Africa to avoid being stuck as a widow with a baby.
Due to Albert vanishing and Gertrudes death Lily was raised by her grandparents, Robert john Smith (b1843) and Eliza Smith(Nee Filby b. 8 Feb 1847)
Any information on them would be wonderful.
Jessie Rachel Ann Thornton part 2
So what DO I know from my researching that could aide in the finding of her grave.
Jessie was born 18/10/1898. Her birth certificate says she was born in Moss Vale, Killarney, QLD. Her parents are Robert Thornton Lightfoot (1852 - 04/03/1933) and Sarah Annie Clara Lightfoot (Nee Dawson) Jessies parents met and were married in Glen Innes on 22/02/1893
Jessie had 3 brothers. Robert Charles, George Edward and Albert Graham John.
She attended Killarney State School and was registered 18/01/1904
There is no name of parent. Just says occupation is Carpenter. Her siblings also attended the school and the their dad, Robert, was listed as parent, and as a carpenter.
Her religion was Church of England
she attended school on and off until 1908.
My next information on her is that she married a man named Francis Thomas Slatter. I have a large amount of information on him and his family. They married 14 May 1921, Allora QLD, Australia.
Jessie then had 3 sons.
Arthur was born 18 Dec 1922
Frank was born 19 Dec 1924
Albert was born in 1925
On the electoral roll in both 1925 and 1930.
In 1925 her address is different to that of her husbands.
Sometime between 1928 -1930 she left her family. Never seeing her sons again
I have a QLD police gazette report, of a theft taking place on Ford street allora. A Mr Leslie Devereaux was wanted as an identified Suspect for the theft of 2 sulky wheels and personal possesions. Says that he was beleived to be in the company of Jessie Rachel Slatter who was wanted for dessertion of her family. The theft took place on 12/12/1930.
The last information I have on her is on her fathers death certificate it says living children and all 4 children are accounted for as living. So jessie is obviously listed as being alive. This was in March of 1933.
There are so many theories about what could have, might have and should have happened. What I have listed here are the actual FACTS that I have.
Any information on her life is desperately wanted as her granddaughter and I are wanting to find her.
Jessie Rachel Ann Thornton
I have been doing my family tree for some time now with 6000+ people in my tree, but there is some of my family that remains rather a mystery to me.
My great great grandfather is Robert Thornton Lightfoot. b.1853 Liverpool UK - d.04/03/1933 Texas QLD, Australia. He is burried in Texas QLD, has no headstone and it is not known which grave he is in. No one ever put up a stone for him.. i have recently found out only 1 of his kids turned up to the burial and no one else. That kid was my great grandad.
Robert Lightfoot spent some of his time in Glen innes and Inverell. He married Sarah Annie Clara Dawson 1873 Wellingrove, glen Innes, NSW, Australia. No known death date. Assumed by family to be c 1900. Robert was 40 and she was 20 when they married. I suspect he was married before.
Sarah is the grandaughter of the notorious Peter Byron and Eliza Fitzsimmons.
Robert and Sarah had 4 children, the eldest 2 - sons, were born in glen innes/ inverell.. I assume in Wellingrove.
Now they first had Robert Thornton Charles Lightfoot in 1894 they then had my great grandad George Edward Thornton Lightfoot. 03/11/1895
Around this time is when the mystery begins. Family legend has it that something really bad happened in a pub down in Inverell and that the family were forced to get out of town. I am told it was something very bad. But I do not know what. They Changed there names to Roberts mothers maiden name, Thornton.
Because of this, they moved here to QLD, Having there Daughter Jessie Rachel Ann Lightfoot Thornton 18/10/1898 in Moss Vale, Killarney QLD, and Albert Graham John Thornton 20 Sep 1902 - 11/11/1945. (by this time the lightfoot name was gone completely.) It appears they only changed the childrens names but not there own.
I don't have any idea as to what could have taken place to the extent it would have them run out of town and there name changed.
Also. The daughter Jessie. She married a Francis Thomas Slatter. The Slatters were already in the family via sarahs sister Mary Alice Dawson who married a Frederick James slatter.
Jessie and Francis had 3 sons. Francis was 7 years her senior. One night around 1929/1930 - A man came in the night and Jessie left with him.
I know they were living in Allora QLD at this time.
After she left, she never saw her kids or husband again. I do think she saw my great grandad as my grandma was named after her and often asked about her and was not allowed to talk about Jessie.
So there is no known death, burial or reason for her leaving. People have been searching for her since she left. We have been told by those closer to her that she was beaten by her husband a lot. and we think that is why she left, the other story is that she was pregnant with her 4th child and left. We do not know who came to the door. She was seen in 1930 in december, when she was in the company of a Leslie Devereaux, who was wanted for theft of sulky wheels and personal posessions worth 6pound. It says in gazette that he was in Jessies company and she was wanted for dessertion. The theft took place in Ford street, Allora
Her fathers death certificate states that she was alive at time of his death 04/03/1933.
I know where they went to school, but i just want to find her final resting place. I don't care what she did, i just want to find her grave.
I have decided that I need to know every part of her life so I can learn about her and figure her out.
Any information on this family please email me. [email protected]

Post subject: What makes it blow at Sherman?
Can anyone enlighten me as to what to look for in the weather pattern to help predict wind at the delta? Looking at the graph for the past 7 days, its all over the place with today (tues 6/19) being raging all morning so far (its noon right now). I live in So Cal so please don't tell me to look for fog in the city, I'm not in the city. Something I can look at on the weather pages online, like temp differences and gradients. Planning a trip after the July 4 holiday, just want to know. Thanks!!

Fog in the BAY is the indicator. If you dont live here, call someone who does. The Marine surge off the coast , combined with valley heat creates a big pressure gradient.

The best way to find out about the fog if you don't live here is
the weather section, look for fog on the forcast and scroll down to the marine forecast section. It is usually quite accurate for instance today is right on.

These web cams give you a real time look at the extent to which the bay is socked in. They're another good tool for predicting conditions at crissy, northern peninsula sites and sherman.

the forecast for dummies is the difference between san francisco temperature and sacramento. if SF is around 70 degrees and Sacramento is around 90 to 95 that is the gradient. If San Fran is 76 or higher may not be any sailing in Bay Area. If Sac is 100 or more, same thing. when Antioch warms to 95 or a 100 it is all over. Antioch is closest weather report to the sailing there but reads low compared to the delta. the delta wind can be very localized right at Sherman island area. that is the simplest way to look at it.

also watch for very hot weather patterns. This often blows off with the fog rushing back in. If there's a heat wave, start packing and watch the forecast carefully.

I've found that the best thing to do is look at the daily high temperature forecasts for Sacramento. If the temperatures in Sacramento are going down significantly there will be wind; if the temperatures are going up there won't be as much wind.

I agree with thirsty because I live in Sacramento. If our temps are going up it means NW wind in Sacramento which tends to reduce or shut down Sherman. If our temps are going down it is because the cool delta breeze is blowing in form Sherman. When Sacramento is running in the high 80's to low 90's you can bet Sherman is blowing.
Besides, if you are not a wind snob, you can sail just about every day at Sherman duing the on season. Let's see, 14 mph at Sherman or 22 mph at Crissy? An extra hour and change to drive + gas + bridge toll + wetsuit + parking and oh yeah, bumper to bumper traffic. I guess I'll just grap a bigger sail and go to Sherman.

Post subject: Some damn nerdy stuff....
The Delta is my home spot, so I just check the sensor and go if it's windy, but I still keep my eyes open so I can know if it's worth setting the alarm early.
A big temperature gradient seems to be important, as most are saying. (Though right now in the morning the temperature gradient is minimal and it's blowing stink in the Delta.) Also a good
gradient between SFO and SAC - at least one millibar and preferrably at least two if you have long to drive. Also south to
southwest flow
on the coast. Also
at least to Alcatraz.
Don't get mad if it happens when not all of these ingredients are there, this is just the setup that causes your typical good Sherman day. Also be warned that "fog in the bay" is really bad to use as a predictive instrument. It can be socked in at one moment and totally blow off within two hours. The fog has support if there is southwest flow on the coast.
Here's how to check it out:
The last is perhaps the most useful. You can look at the historical satellite photos and see the marine layer pressing up the coast from the south and into the bay. If it's still "pressing" and not holding still or rolling back then that's a good sign. "Ribbons" streaking from SW to NE above more stagnant action below is also good
it's warm enough. Usually you just see the tongue of marine air. You can also check this out after you go home when it scours out to nothing overnight and you get skunked to see exactly why fog is not a predictive indicator.
Southwest flow and inversion:
These are really useful once you figure out how to read them. Each column is a slice of time. The past is on the right, the present is the left edge. The wind barbs are standard (each tick is 10 knots, half a tick is 5, ticks on the side the wind is coming from) and stack up to show you the wind speed and direction at various heights. Temperature is indicated by color. What we want to see is a real thick or at least growing layer of blue at Ft. Ord, best if it's got the "yellow" warmer air on top of it. Bodega may be all yellow if the pattern is just emerging, but if you see strong NW surface wind at Bodega then be a little bit wary. If you see warm air under cold air then you should seriously reconsider any kind of long drive. Cold air under warm air, though, is the inversion we're looking for.
Pressure and temperature:
I don't really check these as much as the others, so I don't have links for them. Try
plus some poking around. I don't want to play down how important that
gradient is; it's just that during building or steady southwest flow there's bound to be a good pressure gradient.
If you really want to predict in the big picture you need to guess whether, at what time, and from what angle the low pressure systems coming from northwest of the bay area are going to attack and also when they are going to make their exit. The best computers and professional meteorologists seem to still be very bad at this, especially the timing part.
Why not just quit your job, buy a camper, and move to the Sign? Then you'll be sure to catch it all.

Post subject:
its all about the pressure gradients AND the fog..If your E-W gradient is weak as compared to the N-S gradient, the wind cannot get far enough into the bay to ramp up Sherman...the other thing to watch for is the full moon.....the morning ebb and the cycle of the moon are lined up and usually produce good wind during the summer season...so if your gonna come up from So Cal, plan aronnd the full moon....

A Brinks truck hauling anywhere between $3-and-$9 million in Canadian coins (about $3 to $9 million in real 'merican money) was part of a chain-reaction collision involving another truck this morning that caused the armored transport to spill its heavy load on an Ontario highway. Oh, and one of the other truck's was carrying candy. Police are now standing guard over the valuable pile of goodies.
Ontario Provincial Police told the Canadian Press that the crash happened around 4 a.m. this morning, local time, along Highway 11 near Ramore, Ontario.
The accident apparently occurred when the driver of the Brinks truck crossed the center lane and collided with a rock, causing the driver of a minivan and two 18-wheeler operators to also crash. The two Brinks employees were transported to the hospital with serious injuries but everyone else survived with only minor issues.
Authorities on the scene say Brinks may bring in a magnetic crane to pick up all of the valuables and, possibly, a regular back-hoe to load the coin-laden dirt up for further transport. Off-duty police and Brinks employees are fanning out around the area to protect the valuables.
No word yet on how much candy was lost.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Lipscomb men's and women's tennis teams kick off conference play on Saturday, March 17 with the Battle of the Boulevard against Belmont.
Lipscomb head coach Andrew Harris has stressed to the teams the importance of preparation heading into Atlantic Sun competition.
"The phrase we like to say is that you train eight months for these seven weeks," Harris said. "For our program to continue to grow and develop our standing in this league is what we need to aim for. Different from years past, we actually play Belmont this year for the first match, which presents a unique opportunity.
"We have been talking all year about the mental side of things and preparing ourselves for these moments and matches. Both the women and men are excited for the opportunity to compete and get our conference matches underway. We are looking to have a big crowd out at Centennial on Saturday."
The Bison last faced Belmont in their final match of the season last spring. The 4-3 win sent the men's team to the A-Sun conference tournament, while the Lady Bison suffered a 5-2 loss.
Heading into Saturday's match up, the men hold a 5-5 record compared to the Bruins' 2-8 record. Belmont's men's team has two more matches prior to Saturday's competition with Lipscomb.
The Lady Bison enter the match with a 3-6 record, while Belmont's women even out the competition with the same 3-6 standing.
Both Lipscomb teams enter the Battle of the Boulevard coming off shutout wins. The men posted a 7-0 win over North Alabama on Sunday, while the Lady Bison will have had a two week break since their 7-0 sweep of Kentucky Wesleyan.
Saturday's matchup will take place at Centennial Sportsplex at 10 a.m.

That being said, my little fish is competitive, she loves to win and more importantly, she loves to be recognized! Swimming is wonderful for that, EVERYONE gets a ribbon in each race they swim (unless they are DQ'd but in the 6 & under division, the rules are pretty lax).
As soon as practice started, I knew I needed to make something for all of those ribbons. I had a few ideas and knew I had all of the supplies for a wood sign with hooks for the ribbons, so I got to work.
I started with a 2x6 board. Given the size, I determined my letter height to be about 2.5". Using my trusty PowerPoint program, I found a font I liked and created my design. (I don't have a fancy cutter and honestly, I like the painted letters better anyways.)
Since my daughter chose the phrase - peace, love, swim - using symbols for peace and love I first found the shapes using clip art and sized them appropriately. I then selected my font and layed them out. They actually worked perfectly on and 11" paper so i added a few inches to each side and cut my board to 17".
I painted the board a pretty pink that matches her room and the got started on the letters. To assist with the transfer when I traced the letters, I scribbled the back of my paper with a soft leaded pencil. I then laid it over the board and began to trace.
Once my design was on the board, I pulled out a pretty blue color and painted in the design. I felt like it seemed a bit flat so I created a shadow effect using a complimentary green. I love how it turned out.
My original plan was to put 7 hooks across the bottom but a couple of them broke off when twisting them in so I had to go with a plan B. Which, by the way, turned out amazing! I simply added my daughters name down in the corner and I love it (so does she).
So there it is! (Notice the soccer trophy on the dresser! Couldn't resist pointing that out. She has a medal too but I need to find that!)
I have a plan for a bit of a fun collage on this wall to add some more color and fun to her room but here it is for now. A place of honor for her 2 first place ribbons!
So far, she has learned freestyle and backstroke. I am so excited that swimming is her thing! I was a swim instructor and lifeguard from the age of 14 all the way through college so I love that the love of water has passed on! (Note, my husband has a huge love of water too and can't wait until she is old enough to scuba dive!)

We Came. We Saw. We Rocked. Apple's New iPods
Having lost Apple's invitation in our emails for the "Let's Rock" Event in San Francisco, we had our own 'rocking' event here in Singapore when we attended the unveiling of Apple's latest products. Compared to other events in Singapore that we frequently attend where products are showcased and modeled by vivacious and pretty ladies, Apple took a different tack. In their case, there were no models to distract you from the true stars of the event, Apple's newest products. Look at the pictures below and you will see what we mean.
Also introduced was the new iTunes 8, which is probably one of the easiest music management software out in the market now. It features a new visualizer for the user to be immersed in music visually, new ways to browse your music and videos by cover art and more. To top it all, Apple has added in a Genius playlist generator that automatically create a playlist of songs that relate to the currently playing song either by genre, tempo or beat.
All they have to do is to simply hit the Genius button and iTunes will in typical 'genius' fashion come up with a playlist of songs from the user's library. This helps the users discover music that they might have forgotten or didn't know had existed.

Federico Giuntini Masseti of Selvapiana with his son Cosimo (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
During my recent trip to Toscana, I was able to visit the Chianti Rufina zone for two days; this district, located east and slightly north of Florence, is a wine area that should definitely be better known.
There are seven Chianti districts in addition to the Chianti Classico zone and each has its own unique characteristics. For Chianti Rufina (pronounced roo-fee-nah), it is the elevation of the vineyards that gives this area its identity. The plantings are between 150 to 500 meters (500 to 1640 feet) above sea level; this means that the vineyards in Rufina are on average, the highest in terms of elevation of any Chianti district, including Chianti Classico (vineyards here are generally between 100-300 meters above sea level).
According to Barbara Tamburini, consulting enologist for this zone's Fattoria di Grignano, the high elevation means a longer ripening time on the vine and higher acidity; the combination of which makes for longer-lived wines. "At the higher elevations," she notes, "we receive more direct, pure sunlight, which helps ripening."
There are about 22 producers in Chianti Rufina, most of whom produce Chianti Rufina DOCG of course, but there are other wines of note from this area as well. At Fattoria Lavacchio, Dimitri Sidorinko and Faye Lottero produce a lovely white named Pachar, a flavorful, elegant blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, while at Fattoria di Lago, the 2007 PInot Nero displays good varietal character and offers very nice complexity.
There are two very famous wine estates in Chianti Rufina: Frescobaldi and Selvapiana. The former is one of the best-known producers from any of the Chianti districts and their Nippozano Riserva has become a household name for Chianti. I tasted the 2007, which has typical forward fruit, moderate tannins, is easy-drinking and of course, has lovely Chianti typicity.
I also sampled their top two reds: the 2007 Mormoreto, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot and the 2007 Montesodi. The first wine is quite ripe with black currant fruit and a hint of olive in the aromas with young tannins and the stuffing to age for 10-12 years (perhaps longer). The Montesodi is even better; this wine, a long-time favorite of mine is a 100% Sangiovese that is silky, flavorful and just beautifully made each year. This 2007 displays the richness of this vintage in Tuscany, while also offering a lot of finesse. While this is tempting to consume now, it will offer even greater pleasures in another 7-10 years, though given the track record of this wine, this bottling may indeed drink well for as long as another 15-20 years.
At Selvapiana, owner Federico Giuntini Masseti has helped elevate this estate into one of the most consistent from any Chianti district. The 2009 Chianti Rufina normale is a beauty, with textbook red cherry and currant fruit mingled with notes of allspice and cinnamon; it's a lovely wine for the next 2-3 years. A step up in concentration is the 2007 "Vigneto Buerchiale" Chianti Rufina Riserva. Sourced from the estate's best vineyard, which is 40 years old, this 100% Sangiovese has delicious red plum and red cherry fruit and polished tannins. It's an elegant wine that is a joy to drink now and it will offer pleasure for another 7-10 years.
I also want to note the elegance of the wines from Colognole, a moderate-sized estate managed by Cesare Coda Nunziante. I was impressed by this man's no-nonsense attitude and his down-to-earth manner; he is clearly not looking for high scores, but rather, he is after making the most typical wines he can from his vineyards. I tasted three vintages of his Chianti Rufina normale (2008, '07 and '06), with the '06 showing the most complexity at this point, though the '07 will eventually display greater complexities in a few years, while the '08 is a lovely wine for current consumption. His Riservas are naturally bigger wines, yet they are quite elegant and thankfully, the oak is minimal while the acidity is nicely tuned; the 2007 is especially impressive.
Perhaps the biggest surprise for me was the quality of the wines at Fattoria di Vetrice, a small estate run by the Grati family. These wines offer lovely varietal purity, very good acidity and an extremely delicate touch when it comes to wood. The regular Chianti Rufina 2008 is a tasty wine for consumption over the next year or two and has an elegant, lightly spicy finish. The riserva bottlings are extremely impressive, both the 2006 and especially the 2004; not only do they offer more depth of fruit as well as greater complexity, but the wines are impeccably balanced and display beautiful freshness. Too often I have tasted various riserva wines from various Chianti districts that are too over oaked; the result being that the fruit is muted in the aromas and on the palate with the wines having a slightly bitter edge to them. This is definitely not the case at Vetrice- these are wines that are a pleasure to drink and ones that superbly represent their terroir. For me, this is one of the finest estates in all of Chianti.

Finally, I want to note the 2004 Vin Santo from Grignano. Amber gold with aromas of almond and pear, this has excellent concentration, beautiful complexity and impressive persistence; the cleansing acidity gives the wine a dry finish. This has remarkable freshness for a 16 year old wine and yes, this is the current release of this wine from Grignano! It is a first-rate Vin Santo – complimenti to winemaker Barbara Tamburini!

As I wrote at the beginning of this post, Chianti Rufina is a district that should be better known. There are several outstanding producers here and the overall quality of the wines is quite high. I'll write soon about a wonderful restaurant named Mulino al Vento near Pontassieve that highlights the wines of the district and offers some of the best grilled meats and poultry I've tasted anywhere in Tuscany. Another reason to recommend Chianti Rufina!

Judaism is rich in history and tradition and Jews take great pride in their heritage. Part of this heritage includes a belief in the high premium of life, in all circumstances. Jewish tradition and literature stresses a Jew's "duty to live, not only the right to live."¹ With this in mind, is Judaism compatible with hospice?
The answer, says Barry M. Kinzbrunner, MD, FACP, FAAHPM, is yes. This is not just his opinion as an oncologist and executive vice president and chief medical officer of VITAS® Healthcare; Dr. Kinzbrunner also is an ordained Orthodox rabbi. He has written extensively on end-of-life care and Jewish medical ethics, including co-authoring The Jewish Hospice Manual with Rabbi Maurice Lamm, DD, founder and president of the National Institute for Jewish Hospice (NIJH).
"From care of the sick to the mourning practices of those who are left behind, Judaism provides a profound way for its followers to mark the passing of a loved one, while still honoring life itself," says Dr. Kinzbrunner. "And trained hospice workers can aid Jewish patients and their families as they follow the ancient way," he says.
A large number of VITAS programs are accredited by the NIJH to ensure that Jewish ideals are adhered to as the hospice team meets the needs of the patient and the family. This means all patient care teams and volunteers are trained in the beliefs, customs, philosophies and ethics of both practicing and non-practicing Jews. Dr. Kinzbrunner and Joel S. Policzer, MD, FACP, FAAHPM, VITAS senior vice president of medical affairs, also speak extensively to Jewish clergy and lay groups to help them understand the value of hospice care.
"While a significant percentage of the American Jewish population is non-secular or non-practicing," says Dr. Kinzbrunner, "when people are dying, they tend to go back to their culture and roots. It involves a re-awakening of traditions."
Reform, Conservative and Orthodox traditions differ in observances and laws as they relate to end-of-life care, burial preparations and support for the bereaved. It is essential, therefore, for hospice programs and caregivers to be adequately prepared and educated in the Jewish way in death and mourning.
Jewish practice, for example, requires someone to remain with the deceased from the time immediately following death until burial to ensure no desecration occurs. Since the body is considered sacred, families who want to follow Jewish customs usually choose a Jewish funeral home to prepare their loved one's body for burial.
VITAS' certified Jewish hospice programs train staff and volunteers in these beliefs and customs, along with Jewish ethics related to medical futility and the care of the terminally ill. With the support of staff specially trained in Jewish culture and traditions, VITAS patients and families representing all faith traditions within the Jewish community can face death or the loss of a loved one knowing their faith, tradition and values are understood and respected.

According to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com, Jones said that Garrett would no longer call offensive plays, and that offensive coordinator/line coach Bill Callahan would.
Garrett's position seemed far from secure already, especially with his brother John leaving his staff to take a lateral move in Tampa Bay.
Coupled with the firing of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, and interviewing guys such as former Arkansas coach Houston Nutt for unspecified positions, it would be hard for anyone to feel safe for the long-term in Dallas at the moment.

Sara Gilbert says that she realized she was a lesbian after making out with actor Johnny Galecki. And years down the line, Galecki said he'd still be happy to hold her hand.
The revelation came Thursday on "The Talk," where all week the cohosts have been sharing well-kept secrets. (On Monday, Sharon Osbourne copped to a "flingy wingy" with Jay Leno when she was 25; Tuesday, Aisha Tyler revealed her struggles with fertility, and Wednesday, Julie Chen discussed the eye surgery she'd had years ago to Westernize her Asian look.)
When it was Gilbert's turn, she explained that while she was working on "Roseanne," she began dating Galecki, who played her boyfriend and then her husband on the show.
"I thought he was super cute and had a total crush on him," she said, "and we started dating and he would come over and we would make out and then I would start to get depressed."
Galecki, who's now on "The Big Bang Theory," felt bad and started to take it personally, Gilbert said, until she explained to him she thought it had to do with her sexuality -- she was coming to grips with being a lesbian.
After that, she said, he kept her secret close even as she began to date a woman 18 years her senior, who was also in the public eye.
"It was something people could have found out about and Johnny, like, no one knew at the show, for years, and Johnny held the secret the whole time," she said. "And I just felt so scared if it came out, what could happen. Could I lose my career? Would I ever be able to play a straight role again?"
Gilbert was clearly emotional as she told the story, as she often gets when discussing her sexuality and relationships on the show. She said that even though she's "thrilled" to be who she is and where she is in life, there's still a part of her that gets scared about being different.
She and Galecki are still in touch, so she said she called him to tell him she was going to discuss the issue on the show, and was he OK with that?
"The story sort of starts with you," Gilbert said she told him, "and you know I've got to say that I made out with you and got depressed, which is kind of a bummer!" She laughed.
"And he was like 'Yeah, no, of course' and 'I love you' and 'I think it's really important' and 'I'm so proud of you," and he said, you know, if you want I'll be there and I'll hold your hand.
Once again, aww.
"I just thought that was so sweet," she said, "and this story really makes Johnny look good."
Gilbert, 38, is now engaged to be married to musician Linda Perry, who put together a pretty elaborate proposal.

" Have you seen my tie dyed trees ? " I asked my friend Tony as I dragged him out the door of the store to see them . " I made a bunch of theses big pieces of felt and then I tiedyed them . I made a lot of them so I could put up several at once '
Then I thought about what I said and I wanted to be more truthful " Actually I made a lot of them first because they are really fun to make and I get nervous about standing out on the street and sewing them up. Even though I've only been stopped by police twice I still get nervous " This is more true. Tony agreed that he too prefers sitting at his dining room table and doing his work more than having to present it .
'I tell myself " This will be fun ! "Tony said " I really try to believe it "
Sewing up these big trees is a little fun especially when small children come by and reach over and give the tree a hug. The plan is to put these tie dyed trees up all over Berkeley really quick before it rains. This is the first Berkeley tree.

It's almost here, good food advocates! This weekend, June 21-23, GRACE joins partners Food+Tech Connect and Applegate in Palo Alto, California, to host HACK//MEAT: Silicon Valley, the second in our series of meat hackathons, collaborative events that bring together technologists, entrepreneurs, farmers, creatives, policy experts and non-profit leaders to develop new tools that will support local food systems and help create a more sustainable food future. Animal agriculture is in a state of crisis and because of its devastating effects on public health and our communities, we must find real solutions to create change. GRACE has long seen new media as a powerful venue for communicating these issues, and we look again to technology to help solve these problems. We're thrilled to see these hackathons becoming gathering spaces for powerful cross-sector collaboration, education and innovation.
Throughout the weekend, teams working with facilitators and experts will tackle specific challenges posed by industry "steakholders," ultimately concepting solutions for how meat is produced, marketed, distributed and consumed. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and GRACE are posing the following challenge, which addresses the irresponsible use of antibiotics in meat production. As described in the brief below, the misuse of antibiotics by industrial livestock producers contributes to the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which decreases the efficacy of drugs, threatening the health of animals and humans alike.
For those not joining us live in Silicon Valley, you can still participate!
Follow the Hacking Meat Online Conversation and explore how information and technology can be used to reimagine a better future for sustainable meat producers, consumers and advocates. Share your thoughts, ideas and questions on Twitter (hashtag #hackmeat) and Facebook.
How can we find, recruit and empower a million consumer activists to demand meat without antibiotics?
Natural Resources Defense Council Challenge, in partnership with GRACE Communications Foundation
What is your challenge?
Eighty percent of all antibiotics sold in the U.S. are for livestock use, mostly for growth promotion and to compensate for unsanitary, crowded, stressful living conditions. Repeated use of these life-saving drugs for animals is breeding antibiotic resistant bacteria, also known as superbugs, which increasingly threaten people's health and jeopardizes the efficacy of medicine.
Last year, a federal court sided with NRDC and ordered FDA to begin cancellation proceedings for two important classes of antibiotics and to evaluate the safety of others. But FDA has since appealed and the outcome is still pending. Now it's time to take our case to the court of public opinion where consumers can influence the most powerful food companies.
We know that many consumers are concerned about the use of antibiotics in animal feed, according to a Consumer Reports study published last March. We also know that the market is powerful. Supermarkets and consumers can shift antibiotic use in animals through their purchasing decisions. So how can we find, recruit and empower a million consumer activists to demand meat produced without non-therapeutic antibiotics?
Who is affected by this challenge? How are they affected? Who are your target users?
Food activists, parents (especially moms), patients and their families who have been hit with an antibiotic resistant infection, and health care providers.
Major food companies and retailers can drive change in their supply chains. Consumers can influence them by voting with their pocket book and threatening brands with a public call to action.
How are you currently solving the problem? Are there any technologies that solve similar problems? What works and what doesn't work about how you are solving it?
In addition to our advocacy and litigation, NRDC is increasingly interested in activating the private sector. We are meeting with food companies and asking for change. But they need to hear from consumers directly. While food is an increasingly hot topic, we face a media-saturated field. Going forward, we want to build a more interactive experience for this group and find ways for consumers to meaningfully participate in making change -- beyond a "click here" action alert. Consumers can vote with their pocketbook to reward more sustainable products. But their greatest power may be in threatening the brands of unresponsive companies by socializing a demand for change.
How would a person use the tool?
Our main goals are to create a scalable package for 1 ) educating and inspiring our target audiences; 2 ) giving them an exciting, humorous or empowering personal action that they can take; and 3 ) giving them the means and incentive to pass this along 4 ) Creative ideas for reaching, inspiring and activating our target audiences - beyond "write your congressperson."
Are there any constraints?
We have to be careful not to overstate the health risks of antibiotic resistant bacteria on fresh retail meat. While fresh meat is indeed typically contaminated with these pathogens, resistant bacteria on meat is part of a larger problem of proliferating drug-resistant bacteria to our air, water, soil and communities.
Mainstream food companies like Chipotle and Panera Bread serve millions of antibiotic-free meals at affordable prices. While we support animal husbandry without antibiotics, we believe that livestock producers can continue to use antibiotics safely by avoiding routine uses and conforming to a strict safe-use policy.
What resources, data and assets are available for this project?
NRDC fact sheet: describes the issue generally and providing examples of antibiotics we rely on to treat human diseases that are also used for livestock production.
Sustainable Table - Antibiotics Issue Page - an overview of nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in industrial livestock production and the problems created by this irresponsible practice.
Ecocentric Blog - recent posts about the use of antibiotics in animal agriculture from GRACE's blog.
USDA's system for tracking fresh meat: currently requires all fresh meat products to bear a facility ID number that can be used to look up the name, address and phone number of the facility where the meat was processed. Perhaps this could be used to enable direct consumer-to-company communication.
Consumer Reports Meat on Drugs Report: report includes data on consumer insights, retail product offerings, pricing and labeling.
Quotes from mainstream heath care organizations like the Infectious Disease Society of America and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Bibliography of Scientific Studies for Antibiotic Resistance and Food Animal Production: extensive scientific literature indicates that repeated dosing of livestock with antibiotics breeds drug-resistant bacteria that can escape from the feedlot and threaten humans; these bacteria can even transfer genetic "resistance traits" and confer drug resistance to other bacteria.
"Meat Eater's Guide": Environmental Working Group's guide includes summary of FDA testing data characterizing the frequency that drug resistant bacteria are found on retail meats.

Ewan Oxford needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 93 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
SpinSend is an email marketing platform that helps online casino affiliates stay in touch with their players.
Email marketing has a bad reputation - especially in online gambling. We want to be the 'good guys' of email marketing. We only send players relavent content that they've asked us to send. We have a zero tolerance of spam!
Our target audience are affiliates working in the online casino industry.
We want them to use SpinSend to send their emails, and we'd like them to look at our logo and think that we're friendly, easy to use, and simple to understand.
We need a logo for our new email marketing company - SpinSend.com
Here's a few guidelines to get you started:
1) SpinSend should be written like I've written it here. Both 'S' characters are uppercase, the rest is lowercase. SpinSend is all one word.
2) We don't need .com in the logo.
3) SpinSend is an email marketing platform like AWeber, and ConstantContact. The difference is that our service is tailored to online gambling affiliates.
We would love to have a logo that reflects gambling somehow, but in a simple and subtle way.
## Maybe there's a little roulette ball going around the logo?
## Perhaps one of the letters is a playing card that's spinning around?
## Maybe the letters in SPINSEND show up on the reels of a slot machine?
4) I'm looking for a logo that's simple and not 'over designed'. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. An example of a logo that I really like is http://www.woothemes.com/.
5) One last thing... take a look at SpinSend.com for an idea of the color scheme I'd like to see. You should bear this in mind when designing the logo.
Thanks - any questions please get in touch.
Kind regards
Ewan Oxford

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Adrian College football team remained undefeated at 7-0, 3-0 MIAA on Saturday with a 52-21 win over Kalamazoo College inside WMU's Waldo Stadium. It was a complete team win for the 19th-ranked Bulldogs who have won nine straight dating back to last year and eight in a row over the Hornets.
It did not take Adrian long to establish a tone in this contest. On the second play of the game, Bryan Garbarino intercepted Kalamazoo quarterback Nick Jones and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown just 52 seconds into the game. Jones' pass was deflected into the air and Garbarino's fourth interception of the season gave Adrian a 7-0 lead.
Kalamazoo answered right back on their next possession moving the ball 78 yards in just six plays. Jones found Colin Leffert for a 26-yard scoring strike with 12:15 left in the quarter to tie the game at 7-7. It looked like a shootout might be in hand, but the Adrian defense ended those thoughts.
After a stalled drive by Adrian's offense at the Kalamazoo 42-yard line on their next possession, the Hornets coughed up the ball on their first play and Garbarino fell on the loose ball at the Hornet 35-yard line. Adrian took advantage of the turnover and moved 35 yards in eight plays capped off by a Ce'Juwon McFerrin one-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-goal. Adrian led 14-7 with 4:11 left in the first quarter.
After a Kalamazoo punt, the Bulldogs drove 82 yards in 10 plays with quarterback Brandon Miller throwing a fade route in the end zone to Isiah Cross from five yards for the scoring play. Adrian led 21-7 with 13:44 left in the half after the Logan Mitseff extra point. The Bulldogs forced another punt and took over at their own 24 with 10:32 left in the opening half. On the fourth play of the drive, Miller went deep to Justin Hemm for a 61-yard pitch and catch to give Adrian a 28-7 lead with 8:46 left in the second.
McFerrin and the offense were not done there as they mustered one more scoring drive in the first half to take a 35-7 lead into the locker room. McFerrin's four-yard run, his second of the day and seventh of the season, capped off a 74-yard, eight-play drive with 26 seconds left in the second.
The second half was a ball-control offense for the Bulldogs and added to their lead with a 23-yard Mitseff field goal with 8:43 left in the third for a 38-7 lead. The defense got into the end zone for the second time in the game on Kalamazoo's next possession. Hunter Juntunen scored his first touchdown with a 45-yard fumble return for a score after a Dimeko Price turnover to make it 45-7 with 7:05 left in the third.
Hemm from Miller capped off the scoring for Adrian with a 34-yard acrobatic catch with 13:34 left in the game for a 52-7 advantage. The Hornets scored two touchdowns against Adrian's reserves in the fourth quarter.
Adrian outgained Kalamazoo, 458-298, including a 222-99 edge on the ground. AC was 10-of-17 on third down and limited the Hornets to 4-of-13 on third down. Adrian held the ball 38:34 compared to 21:26 for Kalamazoo. The Bulldog defense forced four turnovers and lost the ball on one fumble for a plus-three in that category.
Miller completed 13-of-19 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions. Hemm caught seven balls for 154 yards and two scores. It was his sixth career-100 yard receiving game. Damon Brown carried 28 times for 121 yards. It was his third 100-yard game of the season and second in a row. Juntunen made five tackles to go along with his fumble return for a touchdown. Juwan King also had five tackles and a pass breakup.

Mustangs on Woodward - Mustang Alley
For Mustang and Ford fans, the Woodward Dream Cruise action takes place at Mustang Alley
Detroit's Woodward Avenue became famous during the halcyon days of Motor City performance in the 1960s. Back then, mid-level engineers and product planners from the Big Three would appear on Woodward Avenue to unofficially "test" their latest high performance automobiles. At drive-ins like The Totem Pole and Ted's, matches were planned both on Woodward Avenue and out on the Interstate, where pink slips were won and lost. On Woodward, the axiom was, "Run what you brung! If it isn't enough, go home and get more!"
Over the years, the Woodward stories grew and created a special performance aura for the avenue that angles slightly northwest out of downtown Detroit.
In 1996, organizers put together the first Woodward Dream Cruise as a one-day event to celebrate the Motor City's cruising heritage. The 16-mile cruise route on Woodward Avenue begins in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale and moves north through a number of suburban communities before winding up in Pontiac. Today, the event has grown to a week-long, fun-filled automotive spectacle that attracts enthusiasts from every corner of the country. In 2013, the Woodward Dream Cruise drew 1.3 million people with an estimated 40,000 cars taking part in cruising the famed thoroughfare.
In 1999, then-Mustang Chief Engineer Art Hyde and his Team Mustang members came up with the idea to create a special place for Mustangs to gather during the Woodward Dream Cruise. Team Mustang eventually met with Ferndale officials and a wonderful relationship between the city, Ford Motor Company, and Mustang enthusiasts was born. That first year, Team Mustang invited Mustang and Shelby club members, as well as Ford employees and suppliers, to meet at Ford World Headquarters to cruise to the corner of Woodward and 9 Mile Road in Ferndale, the Detroit suburb where the Dream Cruise actually begins.
(Editor's Note: We recall that, in his excitement, Art Hyde kicked off the cruise with a burn-out in his '99 Cobra. He was promptly pulled over by WHQ police and issued a ticket. We all waved to him as we proceeded to Woodward).
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
Since 1999, 9 Mile in Ferndale has become the place where Mustangs congregate for the Woodward Dream Cruise. It has also become the epicenter for all Ford Motor Company activity during Saturday, the "official day" of the Woodward Dream Cruise. In 2013, 874 Mustangs lined 9 Mile Road for many city blocks. The Ford Motor Company exhibits extended a number of blocks as well to showcase the company's latest performance cars. Directly across Woodward, Ford Truck exhibited their latest performance products.
Ford is always adding new and interesting elements to Mustang Alley. In 2013, there was a special area for an Engineer Meet and Greet so people could meet the Ford engineers, who were stationed at their respective cars and SUVs. Mustang Chief Engineer Dave Pericak spent a good part of the day meeting and talking with Mustang enthusiasts.
The Ford exhibit was also home for a number of performance companies, including Ford Racing, Roush Performance, Mobile Mod Center (featuring products from Kicker, MRT, BFGoodrich, and Gateway Classic Mustang), Holman & Moody, and Falken Tire. The Mustang Club of America display informed enthusiasts about both the national club and the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration that happened this past April in Charlotte and Las Vegas.
The Woodward Dream Cruise celebrates all that is great about the Motor City, past and present. For Mustang enthusiasts, Mustang Alley is the place to be on Saturday.

This is the location of the well-known "Percy Hilton" a make-shift A-frame structure that contains paraphernalia and memorabilia from cruising sailboats, who have visited this place, dating over 50 years. Mostly there are signs with names of boats posted all over the structure. The location is on Middle Percy Island whose ownership has an interesting history. The island has a beautiful beach, a nearby lagoon for safe harbour in bad weather, a garden, and goats.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.
