Alyssa Krupp (No. 1 singles) lost the first set before winning in three for the Redskins (0-1). Libby Showalter and Taylor Steyer won the first set before falling in three.
"Alyssa was impressive in her ability to settle in to come back to win," Port Clinton coach Lindsay Dunn said. "She played some very long points and never lost her focus. Kelsey looked solid.
"Libby and Taylor had a tough match. They are still getting used to working together, but seem to be getting more comfortable."

I have just returned from her doctor who told me it shouldn't worry me, but it does. Since last night, my little girl's tongue became a dark purple/blue color mainly on the end of her tongue and especially underneath. The rest of her mouth was the normal pink color it has always been. Her lips are fine and her fingers and body too. It is still dark and it has been about 24 hrs. I dont know what to do considering it is very hard to take my doctor's advice and just let it be.
Could someone please help???

Our Career Consultant Spotlight for February is: Krystle Johnston! Krystle is based in our Colorado office and enjoys everything from skiing to relaxing at home playing video games. Her Siberian Husky, Nymeria Arya Johnston, keeps her company through thick and thin. Krystle understands that traveling to a new assignment can be daunting, so she focuses on being a support system for her travel nurses.
If you feel pressured by your recruiter to take an opening or even just to submit, if they get upset because you got an offer for your dream contract through a different agency and they aren't congratulating you, they don't have your best interest in mind.
Get To Know Krystle Johnston
What do you love about your job?
What's not to love about my job? I seriously have the best job ever. I work with some of the best nurses, who I call friends above all else. All in all I get to talk to my friends all day and find them awesome paying contracts all across the US. I believe the recruiter/nurse relationship is the most important thing in the contracting world. Sometimes being in a new area can be scary at first and you need someone that will be there for you to help conquer any fears you have. It's nice to have a friend in your corner always rooting for you. The best way to look at this career is how my nurses don't work for me and I don't work for them. We work together to get to where we need to be!
What makes you unique as a career consultant?
I'm seriously available to all my travelers 24/7. If you've ever had a recruiter that takes days, weeks, or even months to get back to, you will never have that issue with me. All my travelers get my personal number in case they need anything on my off hours. My travelers are real to me and not just a name on paper. Once you're on assignment you can always count on hearing from me weekly to make sure everything is going well on assignment and in your life in general.
What's your favorite traveler story?
My favorite story definitely involves love and Hawaii. This travel was one of my adventurers. To start off he went kayaking in one of the most dangerous areas of Maui, so he could take some amazing photos! His kayak ends up hitting a rock and splitting in half, cell phone gets flooded! He was stranded for 24hrs and finally was care flighted out with no injuries or harm! Scary right? Well he became a feature in Maui news. So kind of a big deal. Later he ends up falling madly in love with another traveler and I was his person, he was able to confide in, while he was on a new journey falling love. They both went perm at Kaiser in Maui, but plan to travel with me again once they want a break from Hawaii. I still get photos of the two of them as they checkout the Northern Lights in Alaska and all their other vacations. Both amazing nurses.
Do you have any advice for nurses new to travel?
Life is an adventure so jump in and experience travel. Whatever the reason for exploring contracts, being near family for a few months, wanting to pay off debt and put money in your bank account, or even if it's to check out a facility before going perm, there are options for everyone. Find a recruiter you connect with and trust. I might not be the best fit for every nurse out there, but there's definitely a recruiter for every type of nurse and personality. Find one that will walk you through the process and answer any and all questions. Also, choose a recruiter that has your best interest at mind. If you feel pressured by your recruiter to take an opening or even just to submit, if they get upset because you got an offer for your dream contract through a different agency and they aren't congratulating you, they don't have your best interest in mind. Travel when you have some good experience under your belt so you have more options and can find a good fit!
How do you spend your time when you're not recruiting?
I spend most of my time with my Siberian Husky, Nymeria Arya Johnston, she has been with me through the good and bad times. I also spend a ton of time with my boyfriend and his daughter. From skiing to camping to lazy nights of watching movies or playing video games I like to stay busy. My family is mostly in Texas and Canada so living in the middle, I don't get to see them as much as I like, but when I get to visit, I stick to my niece like glue.

Helicobacter Testing
Randalstown Pharmacies provide a specialist 13C-Urea Breath Test for Helicobacter pylori
What is Helicobacter pylori?
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a harmless bacterium, as shown magnified in the picture, which may be present in the human
stomach. In a minority of people it may cause peptic ulcers.
The two main causes of ulcers are certain painkillers or antiinflammatory drugs (like aspirin and ibuprofen). H. pylori is not thought to be a major cause of pain, indigestion or other symptoms in people without ulcers.
H. pylori is prevalent in up to 54 per cent of the population in developed countries. For people with peptic ulcers, the discovery of H. pylori has been a major help in the treatment of their condition. Previously peptic ulcers could not be healed, and commonly recurred. Nowadays, if H. pylori is successfully treated ulcers seldom recur.
A tiny minority of people with H. pylori develop gastric cancer.
How do people get H. pylori, and can it be spread from person to person?
No one knows exactly how you can catch H. pylori. In most cases it is thought to be caught in childhood but causes no problems until adult life. In the past H. pylori was common in many children, which explains why many adults have it today. Now it is very uncommon for it to be passed from adult to child or from adult to adult.
What is a 13C-Urea breath test?
It is a simple way of testing for Helicobacter pylori bacterium.
When will I get the result?
Your breath test may not be analysed immediately, because samples are checked in batches. You or your GP will be contacted with the result or you may be given a clinic appointment to discuss the result.
What happens if I have been previously treated and
still have H. pylori?
If you have previously been treated, but still have H. pylori, you may need another course of treatment. The antibiotics will be different and the treatment course may be longer, but the chance of success is still high. Re-treatment after treatment failure is usually carried out with the advice of a specialist doctor.
Any other questions
If there is anything else you would like to know, please ask a member of the Pharmacy Team. If the person carrying out the test does not know the answer they can easily find out for you.

This project aims to model the production line of Vayhan Coffee Limited (VCL). VCL is a leading coffee manufacturing company in India, which exports coffee to different countries across the globe. They produce different blends or tastes within the two types of soluble coffee, namely Spray Dried & Granulated, in order to suit any specific market requirement. The manufacturing facility currently can produce 3600 MT of instant coffee per year in both spray dried and agglomerated varieties and is run by a team of high experienced and trained quality professionals to deliver the products to suit customer needs and profile. The manufacturing plant that has been considered for this project is located in Andhra Pradesh, India.
For this model, the VCL manufacturing process for five final products, denoted herein as products A, B, C, D, and E, is simulated. Three of the products (A, B, and C) are spray-dried, while the other two products (D and E) are granulated coffees. The first step in the simulation process represents retrieval of four different grades of coffee beans from inventory, and the last step of the simulation represents production of the final instant coffee product. The simulation is used to identify bottlenecks in the process and provide recommendations for ways to maximize output.
Project Objectives
Summary and Conclusions
We have effectively modeled the current production line at the VCL facility. The results we obtained are consistent with their production of 3600 MT per year. We were able to identify that the spray drier is causing a bottle neck, and thus we proposed an additional spray drier be added to the facility if within the budget and space constraints of VCL. Additionally, we have proposed adding additional storage and intermediate tanks to increase VCL's ability to quickly change from one product mix to another. The simulated results of these changes indicate that VCL can double their current production by adding the specified equipment. Additionally, out sensitivity analysis showed that the pull production model is not sensitive to change in the order in which inventory is processed. The model is also not sensitive to change in the process before the spray drier. Namely, double roasting capacities had no effect on the output. Furthermore, while we suggest adding separate storage tanks for each product mix, the process is not sensitive to the sizes of these tanks which may have advantages from a managerial perspective.

Tun Mahathir slam Obama
"In Malaysia, despite our policies, Do you see the Chinese poor? The Indians are professionals, they are lawyers and doctors," he told reporters.
"Those who didn't come to Malaysia are not so fortunate," Mahathir added.
The former prime minister also said that he agreed with American economist Joseph Stiglitz that there is huge inequality in the US.
Obama had ruffled the feathers of certain quarters, when he said that Malaysia would not succeed if non-Muslims are not given equal opportunities.
"I would like you to read Joseph Stiglitz's book ('The Price to Pay for Inequality').
"He points out that there is no equality in the US at all. One percent owns all the wealth and the rest are poor. That is why there is a group calling themselves the '99′ who wants to occupy Wall Street," Mahathir said.
'Stiglitz spoke more truth than Obama'
He reiterated that Stiglitz spoke more truth than Obama, who was the first American president to visit Malaysia in nearly 50 years.
Obama was welcomed with much fanfare when he came to Malaysia last weekend and met the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the prime minister and cabinet ministers.
He also had a town hall dialogue to rally Southeast Asian youth leaders and the civil society movement.
Despite rebuking Obama's recommendations on how to treat minorities, Mahathir did say it was good that a US president had, at least, touched down in Malaysia.
"Obama's visit can only help expose him to Malaysia. I am confident that he has heard much before this but had no clue about what Malaysia is," he said.
To a question on Obama's visit to the National Mosque and royal tombs, he said that he applauded the "very diplomatic" move.
"He's good at winning hearts, that's why he won (the US elections)," Mahathir said.

June 2nd thru the 4th I was at House of Blues Studios in Encino, California tracking for Keb' Mo's upcoming 2009 release.
Over the three days we were able to track a total of 10 Songs for his new album. Joining Keb' and I in making this project a reality were some of the best session musicians in L.A. On drums we had John "JR" Robinson, on Bass we had Kevin McCormick (Jacksone Browne, Melissa Etheridge, Steve Perry), On Guitars and Keyboards we had David Delhomme, and on Keys and Organ we had Jeff Young.
It was a great pleasure working with all of these fine musicians and an extreme pleasure to work in such a great studio as House of Blues. Not to mention working on HOB's Neve 80 series console that was original comissioned for Pete Townsend was probably the highlight of my career when it comes to gear porn. Very well maintained console and studio. Big thanks to Garry and Doug.
Check out some pictures from the sessions in my new Photo Gallery.

You can hear sound clips of this and other reviewed pieces of gear here: https://jordantishler.wordpress.com/gear-review-clips/
The Urei LA-4 is a classic opto limiter that is useful on various instruments, such as vocals, guitar and bass. It has a unique sounding compression, with ratios selectable from 2:1,4:1, 8:1,12:1, 20:1. Anything above 8:1 is considered limiting. It also has variable threshold and output level. The LA-4 is primarily a single channel unit, with the option of stereo operation when linked to another unit. They do not have attack or release controls: the attack and release are nonlinear and are determined by the gain reduction. As such, the LA-4 is rather smooth sounding over a broad dynamic range. The LA-4 is great on vocals, giving a nice clarity and smooth compression that tames most erratic vocals. With a pair of LA-4s strapped for stereo operation, you can run compression on a stereo channel of background vocals. However, compared to its opto sibling, the LA-2A, the LA-4 have less warmth and presence. Hence, for to fatten a lead vocal, the LA-4 would not be the first choice of compressor when put up against the LA-2A (which we also have here in Digital Bear Entertainment). With that being said, LA-4s are perfect for background vocals that benefit more from sheen than from weight.
On bass, the LA-4 also has a rather smooth operation and compression. The non-linear attack and release ensure that the compression is not overly harsh or unnatural. The LA-4 also maintains the low frequency information from the bass track unlike other compressors that may lose low end information and make low register instruments overly crunchy on the high end.
The LA-4 is useful gear and a great addition to any studio. Compared to its other counterparts such as LA-2A and LA-3A, it is certainly the "blacksheep" of the family, with it being less present. However, it is definitely useful when you need a smooth and natural sounding compression.

Not so long ago Angelina Jolie was "more concerned" about the reception of her directorial debut movie, 'In the Land of Blood and Honey', in Bosnia and Serbia than in the United States. She was eagerly awating the reactions of local audiences, whom she had portrayed in her war drama, and some of her fears turned out to be justified.
While the Bosnian public has warmly welcomed this war love story of a Serbian policeman and a Bosnian Muslim woman, the Serbian media have launched a war on the American actress, accussing her of spreading hatred toward Serbs.
Serbian daily Kurir initiated a series of articles [sr] that have seriously harmed Jolie's good reputation in Serbia:
Angelina claims in the movie that 300,000 Muslims were killed in the Bosnian war and 50,000 Muslim women were raped. The actress intends to seek the abolition of Republika Srpska as a genocidal creation. All of this was commissioned by the extreme Islamic policies, presenting Serbs as criminals, killers, murderers and rapists, and Muslims as the only victims.
Explaining the reason for Jolie's alleged pro-Muslim bias, the newspaper claimed [sr] that the movie was financially supported by Saudi direct investments of $10 million:
It is generally known that Jolie is very close to politicians in Washington. Maybe she would like the public to think it is an art film, but it is actually pure anti-Serbian propaganda. The director sends a message to the audience that Serbs are crazy wild beasts, while Muslims are innocent victims.
Momir Stojanovic, former director of the Serbian Military Intelligence Agency, also supported Kurir's claim that Muslim extremists had funded Angelina's project, saying "it is very close to the truth."
The Serbian newspaper has triggered thousands of negative, pro-Serbian votes on imdb.com, one of the most reputable film rating sites, causing the film's score to drop drastically to 3.3 from an average of 5.4.
Very quickly the page of Jolie's film at imdb.com turned into a virtual battlefield between Serbs and Muslims. (In the past few days, however, 11 pages of comments have somehow been reduced to five).
Sanja_Cancar says:
Angelina needs to stick to the topics she knows about, ei: ruining marriages, stealing husbands, adopting children from around the world, wearing blood. Instead, she chose the ironic path of a "peace-ambassador" that gets involved in politics she knows nothing about and creates movies that will only create more hatred… […]
Vitezbg observes:
Movie is full of political manipulations, lies, false informations etc.[…] Also 50.000 raped Muslim women is very disputed. It is famous case when 'raped Sarajevo woman', gave birth of African child. Actually the father in this case was member of UN personal. […]
Johnny NT concludes:
Well done Angie, Goebbels and Hitler would be proud of you and your fascinating work on this movie. […]
rudeedee2 asks:
How could these people dare think to make a movie ("entertainment") of such a horribly devastating situation ??? Seems only money is important. […] Would Angelina Jolie want to think her family has gone through hell and lost every semblance of normalcy, experienced fear, heartbreak, death and devastation only to find a so-called movie producer sees it as an artistic capital?
psysd3 reminds Angelina of the crimes of her own people:
[…] From the very beginning, by coming to America's soil on which it is estimated that, in 1500s, there were about 12 000 000 Native Americans whose number is reduced to nearly 237 000 by 1900s […]
Alex_Michael writes:
I guess I expected too much of Angelina. She might have black hair, but the movie sure look like put together by a blonde. Serbian Nazis who don't have problem killing anything from pets to babies on one side, and good Muslims on the other side… Example is Srebrenica where Serbs committed crimes by taking revenge after number of Serbian villages around Srebrenica were completely wiped out, and their inhabitants killed by Muslims from Srebrenica. This was well described in Norwegian documentary "Srebrenica a Town Betrayed".
The Bosnian Muslim online community opposes the Serbian comments and supports Jolie's movie.
f_s is grateful to Angelina:
[…] Thank you Ms. Jolie for being the voice of the women depraved, humiliated and tortured. I recommend to everyone to see the movie especially women around the globe, to hear the unspoken, to witness the hidden. […]
Sibaak adds:
[…] We, the Bosnians do not hate. We are the most peaceful nation in the world, and thats why the facts of that war are so brutal! Because we didn't believe it could happen. We didn't believe that our friends would turn against us, rape us, kill our children, take over our houses. But they did. We that lived to tell, still, just like me, believe there are good Serbs. But what really hurts is to see how many people, just like on here, people that do not have even slightest idea of the truth, are so blind, and so hateful, because it tells me that they would do it all over again. In a way I feel its good that they are showing their real faces. Showing how ignorant they are. […]
Mela Fatkic expresses gratitude to Jolie on the movie's Facebook page. She writes:
Angelina thank you for this film, but we can not forget what it was. Thank you for the truth which not many people to reconcile, and nobody believes until they see…
Dino Gligic shares this opinion:
Angelina, thank you so much for telling the torld the truth about what Serbs did. It was worse than in that movie…
Nat Taschetti Garcia Angie admits ignorance and asks :
I just graduate on high school and i never learned about Bosnian war as i never learned about refugee camps. Do you feel like something has to be done in education, as a mom and as an activist?
Frustrated by the Serbian furious reaction, Jolie responded on Twitter:
Is it possible that the entire nation believes a concocted story from trash @KurirVesti magazine based on fake email from imaginary person?"
However, a few days later this tweet was deleted, and a new one appeared:
Don't express your love for own nation, race, religion, etc… by hating others.
On other side, Kurir pulled off the article of threatining tone: "Serbs declared war on the actress: you do not know what awaits for you Angelina" from the newspaper official site published as respond on Jolie's offensive tweet.
Jolie also tweeted this appeal:
Don't believe everything you read… "They kill good trees to put out bad newspapers."
In an interview with Slobodna Evropa, Jolie expressed her affection for Bosnia, saying that "it is easy to be in love with Bosnia":
I would not have created this film if Bosnikas hadn't agreed with the screenplay. I would have burned it…
Zeljko Mitrovic, the owner of Pink TV, is one of the most influental Serbs who had initially condemned Jolie because of her anti-Serbian prejudices and had even withdrawn from the movie project. Now, however, he has changed his mind:
It is wrong to attack Angelina now when the movie is finished. We could have changed something before they started making the film. Now it is pointless to generate hostility. That thing cannot be changed by additional antagonisms. She should be invited to Belgrade because people like her can help us in the future to improve the image of ourselves in the world. I invite Angelina to come to Serbia and to be a guest of TV Pink.

Children's Hospital Los Angeles to Enroll Patients in Innovative Drug Study for Type 1 Diabetes
Study will test the safety and efficacy of metformin plus insulin therapy in overweight adolescents
Children's Hospital Los Angeles will participate in a nationwide drug study evaluating the effects of metformin, a medication that has been shown to be safe and effective for treating type 2 diabetes. T1D Exchange, a nonprofit program dedicated to improving the lives of those living with type 1 diabetes by facilitating better care and accelerating research, was recently awarded a $2.8 million grant to conduct this study.
Normally diagnosed in children and young adults, type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by insufficient insulin production by the pancreas. Insulin is needed to allow glucose into the body's cells, where it can be converted into energy. Without insulin, glucose becomes trapped in the bloodstream and can cause complications such as cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, kidney disease and decreased vision. While there is no cure, type 1 diabetes can be managed through life-long insulin therapy and continuous monitoring of blood glucose levels.
Unlike type 2 diabetes, the development of type 1 diabetes is not influenced by weight or other environmental factors. However, "there is increasing evidence that individuals with type 1 diabetes have not escaped the general population trend toward obesity, despite the traditional phenotype of type 1 diabetics being of normal or underweight," says Jamie Wood, MD, physician in the Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. "Overweight children with type 1 diabetes have trouble controlling their blood glucose levels because their bodies become resistant to insulin."
To combat this emerging issue, T1D Exchange's nationwide network of experienced type 1 diabetes researchers, patients and healthcare professionals, will conduct their first multi-site study to observe the effects of metformin. This drug has been used for the past 50 years by individuals with type 2 diabetes, but its safety and efficacy is largely unknown for treating type 1 diabetes. Metformin, which acts to reduce excessive glucose production, will be tested in combination with standard insulin therapy in overweight individuals with type 1 diabetes. Over a period of 6 months, the patients, aged 12 to 19 years, will be monitored for blood glucose control and insulin sensitivity with the goal of developing a successful treatment for this growing subset of patients.
"This study is our first opportunity in some time to test a new treatment for type 1 diabetes and accelerate the progress of therapies that will increase our patients' quality of life," says Mitchell Geffner, MD, division chief of the Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. "We look forward to treating several study patients at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and seeing first-hand what this medication might do for the thousands of other patients with type 1 diabetes we see each year."

Japan truly is a beautiful place. A place that I have never experienced before, with a very rich culture. What is surprising to me is how similar the people in Japan can be to the people back home. I live in a small town and everyone pretty much knows everyone else. The sense of community is truly mesmerizing. The people in Japan are so kind and it is a very respectful culture with a lot of bowing. When I walk into a convenient store the workers start bowing their heads. And they bow once more when I exit the store.
Before this program started a group of students and myself decided to come to Japan a little earlier and explore cities like Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. One of the moments I will always cherish is when we decided on the spot to hike up a mountain called Fushimi Inari-taisha, that none of us were really prepared for. We were low on water. In fact, a member of the group, Alexis, hiked up the mountain in a dress. As we were hiking up, the Sun was slowly coming down. We could see the orange tint of the Kyoto skyline. We were expecting a beautiful view, but instead we saw a shrine. To me, this was perfect because even though we were all hiking up to the top expecting to see a stunning view, we all encouraged each other to keep going up. This moment is when we all truly bonded the most.
Two days ago we all went went to Gobansho Park. We could see an entire island. We could see the island curve on its edges. The views at Gobansho park were breathtaking. I took some time to just sit by myself and take everything in. Also at the park we found a playground meant for children but that did not stop us from having our fun. It was cool to just act like a kid again and run around like a goofball. I was rolling around in the grass. That might not have been the best idea because later I found leeches on my pants. All in all, my time in Japan has been exciting and being able to have the privilege of traveling abroad has been a blessing.
P.S I am a master at using chopsticks.

Kenyan Premier League (KPL) has finally sealed a three year deal with East Africa Breweries Limited (EABL) to become the league's title sponsors. In the process, the league has been renamed to the Tusker Premier League.
It has been a long time coming for a league that has been without a title sponsor for 5 years while Uganda and Tanzania leagues had a sponsor.
The deal took effect from July 1st this year and is said to be worth Kshs165 million. Under the deal, KPL will receive Kshs55 million per year for three years. Gor Mahia and the other 15 clubs will seen an increase in funds.
Fans will hope that the club will become more professional and more accountable in the way they handle their affairs.
Fans also hope that KPL will be better organized and avoid embrassments such as the one that happened this Sunday; As pointed out by our comrade Ogango Trailer only one bottle of Champagne was provided for the players leaving all 16 players to scramble for the sole bottle.
Per KPL policy, 65% of the sponsorship money is supposed to go to the clubs. That still leaves KPL with a lot of money that they can use for development and promotional activities.

Tracking Your Taxes: Defense Bill Pays for Prostate Screenings, Sprinkler System
President Obama pledged in August to cut all pork barrel projects from defense spending, threatening to veto any swollen bills that came across his desk -- a pledge shattered by nearly 2,000 pet projects that have made their way into the defense budget.
"If a project doesn't support our troops, we will not fund it," he said to a meeting of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix. "If a system doesn't perform, we will terminate it. And if Congress sends me a defense bill loaded with that kind of pork, I will veto it. "
Just last week, Obama broke his promise as he signed into law the 2010 Defense Appropriations Bill -- a $636 billion behemoth loaded with $4.2 billion of pork.
"We should be concerned that we're getting ripped off," said Ryan Alexander, president of the watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense.
"The earmarking process is the beginning of figuring out whether or not we're getting ripped off. Absolutely dollars are being directed, not based on the best decision making process."
In all, Congress added in 1,720 pet projects, including:
∙$5 million for a visitors center in San Francisco
∙$23 million for indigent health care in Hawaii
∙$18 million for the Edward Kennedy Policy Institute in Massachusetts
∙$1.6 million to computerize hospital records in Oakland
∙$47 million for anti-drug training centers around the country
∙$20 million for the World War II Museum in Louisiana
∙$3.9 million grant to develop an energy-efficient solar film for buildings
∙$800,000 for minority prostate cancer research
∙$3.6 million for marijuana eradication in Kentucky
∙$2.4 million for handicap access and a sprinkler system at a community club in New York
Lawmakers also added $5 billion for two destroyers, 10 C-17 cargo planes and to develop a jet engine the Pentagon neither wants nor needs. Critics call it classic pork -- projects that may save jobs, but not money.
"There is a reason they are added to the Defense appropriations bill, because everyone in Congress knows this is a must-pass piece of legislation", said Todd Harrison, a budget studies fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
Despite the billions in pork, the White House says it's making progress. The earmarking total is 14 percent lower than it was on last year's defense bill, and the Obama administration says federal agencies found more than $19 billion in contract savings for 2010. The president has also succeeded in killing funding for the pricy F-22 Joint Strike Fighter and a new presidential helicopter.
Members of Congress are also defending their earmarks. Senator John Kerry, D-Mass., who added the Ted Kennedy Institute to the defense budget, says it is a tribute to the late Senator's leadership on military technology and safety for our troops.
Senator Mary Landrieu, D-La., says she was "proud" to secure $20 million for a new wing of the National World War II museum in her home state.
But a study by the Center of Defense Information says earmarks like those in this bill -- including those for the solar film, prostate cancer research, and the New York sprinkler system -- mean less money for pilot training, supplies, repairs and ammunition.
Harrison is especially disappointed Congress cut $300 million from a successful counterinsurgency program used by Army field commanders.
"That money is used by commanders on ground in Iraq and Afghanistan to fund small projects that help win over the local population," he said.

This is a great place for all, but in my eyes this is much better for the Military Athlete. The trainers really invest themselves to ensure proper technique and safety with all patrons. Its really awesome that workouts can be catered to a specific criteria instead of just the WOD's. I feel much more confident going into higher echelon military schools with the type of training that was built for me. Thanks again Black Dog. I have highly recommended to multiple individuals from my current Unit and most of them are coming in for the beginners class. This is how fitness should be. Again thank you for helping me reach my goals and motivating me when I have those moments where I feel like I cant go harder. The workouts are difficult but like I said I already feel better prepared than I would have doing it on my own. THANK YOU!
For people like me who aren't impressed with flashy designs & brand-new everything, and are more concerned with what they get out of the services, this place is top notch. The staff and members are welcoming and there's a definite emphasis on doing things correctly rather than speed or the amount of weight lifted. Darren does a good job with the fundamentals class, something that many other gyms don't even feature. I'd definitely recommend this place for either beginners or experienced crossfitters.
Most places charge an arm and a leg to drop in, but not these guys. From day one of my visit, they were all extremely accommodating. I follow my own programming and I was given free range of the gym for the month I was in town. This place is what the crossfit community is all about. Big thanks to Black Dog.
I was visiting from out of town and did a drop in class. It was a great experience. The people were friendly and welcoming. They helped me get acquainted with their box. The owner Darren was awesome. If you are in the Lawton area, I recommend stopping in for a class. The facility is huge!
Great coaches. Awesome members. They put on great events and their athletes represent at local events with incredible sportsmanship. Love this place.
Awesome atmosphere to be in. A lot of positive energy flowing through the gym and great trainers to work with.
Best workout I've ever had. It was fun and challenging! Will definitely be back.
Love it! Everyone here is very helpful and super nice. Also they are kid friendly which is a huge plus for us. We are new to cross fit and anytime we need help or do not know something someone is always there to assist and help us along!
Most awesome workout you'll ever have with the best people to help you reach your goals!!! LOVE IT!

The SEO Shotgun Approach
Search engine optimization and the proper approaches have long been an important discussion among webmasters, business owners and Internet marketers alike. But despite the multitude of constantly changing tactics associated with search engine optimization, some of the quickest efforts may not always be the best method of reaching long-term marketing goals. But taking a look at one's goals and what they hope to accomplish with SEO, knowing which tactics to complete can be much simpler.
Most businesses and companies are looking to meet long-term goals and stay in the eye of their consumers by appearing for the search terms their target audiences are searching for services and products. But creating a long-term plan of how to accomplish those goals of staying competitive among other marketers and companies in one's industry while growing and changing with technology, most businesses can continue to experience and see growth related to their website and its corresponding traffic.
Shotgun SEO: The Quick Fix
Many marketing companies and search engine optimization specialists feel pressure to promise and deliver quick results. Many business owners and leaders who may not understand the minute details associated with SEO, may not realize the tedious effort and time that goes into improving rankings according to best practices. And while it may seem more financially beneficially to rank right now, at this moment, the long-term repercussions of quick fixes and black hat tactics can be serious for businesses, companies and their websites.
In contrast with the quick fix, the meeting long-term goals with slow and steady search engine marketing efforts can be more beneficial and less risky over the long haul. Some of the best methods of slowly improving ranking on the major search engines include:
- Creating fresh, consistent and quality content
- Authoritative link building
- Social media promotion and community building
- Optimized descriptions and title tags
By having a clear comprehension of the tactics most recommended by major search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. In addition, understanding the process required makes it much easier to relish in the small improvements that can be achieved through steady, best practices efforts. By focusing on the experience of audience members and one's target demographic and meeting their specific needs, marketers and webs designers can use SEO best practices to be found for even the most competitive keywords as well as long tail searches, providing solutions and answers with valuable content and blog posts.
While quality SEO requires patience and long-term goals among a constantly transforming digital media environment, gaining a clear understanding of what one's end goal reflects in contrast to short-term goals can help reveal quality, best practice tactics that will promote one's business over a long period of time without fear of disaster or issues associated with updates and algorithm changes that can be detrimental to black hat tactics.

The transcriptionist for the 1940 census at Ancestry.com indicated that 70-year-old Edward Heidbreeder[sic] is listed as a son in the household.
That sounded a little off to me, but it was possible that he was living with a parent who was still living in their nineties.
Turns out he wasn't.
He is listed in the enumeration as a father-in-law of the head of household, Walter F. Bode.
The transcriptionist most likely grabbed the "daughter" relationship from the previous entry and assigned it to Edward.
The Bodes were farmers in Marion County and the street address seemed a little unusual. Virtually all my relatively close relatives in 1940 were farmers in rural Illinois and Missouri and I don't think I've ever seen a street address listed for any of them.
Reading the actual entry again answered the question. Their "street" was not "W S 36" it was "U S 36." And I'm reasonably certain locals didn't refer to it as a "street," but it's easy to see how transcribers would enter it in as the street on which the family lived. I'm also pretty certain they didn't have house numbers either.
The immediate lesson here is the one we've mentioned before:
look at the original
Personally now I 'm curious.
My paternal grandparents were living in a farm on the "hard road" in 1940 (State Highway 94) north of Carthage. My maternal grandmother was living in 1940 with her parents on the "hard road" west of Carthage (US Highway 136). I'll have to see if their 1940 census enumerations make any reference to the highways.
Census takers may have had some discretion about using highways when there were no house numbers. The answer to whether or not they were to use the names/numbers of roads when there were no house numbers would probably be answered in the enumerator's instructions.

WA3分pk10可靠不 SH3分pk10可靠不 iNGT3分pk10可靠不 oN - China increased its holding of US Treasury securities for the sixth consecutive month in July, and remained as the world's largest holder of US treasuries.
China added its US treasuries holding by $19.5 billion in July, with the total holding up to $1.166 trillion, the latest data from the US Treasury Department showed on Monday.
In June, China reclaimed its position of the world's largest holder of US Treasury securities.
Japan, which overtook China as the largest holder of US treasuries in last October, raised its holding by $22.3 billion to $1.1131 trillion in July.
By the end of July, overall foreign holdings of US Treasury securities rose to $6.22003 trillion from June's $6.1716 trillion.
With the appreciation of the Chinese currency and the sound economic performance at home, China's forex reserves rose for the seventh month in a row in August.
With sound economic fundamentals, wider openness and more stabilized market expectations, cross-border capital flows will continue to keep balanced and stable, said the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, China's foreign exchange regulator.

PPG Reports Record Q1 2014 Results
PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG) reported record first quarter 2014 net sales from continuing operations of $3.6 billion, up $528 million, or 17 percent, versus the prior year. First quarter 2014 reported net income from continuing operations was $277 million, or $1.97 per diluted share. First quarter 2014 adjusted net income from continuing
operations was $279 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, which excludes $2 million, or 1 cent per diluted share,for acquisition-related costs.
First quarter 2013 reported net income and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $191 million and $1.29 respectively, and adjusted net income from continuing operations was $207 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, respectively. Nonrecurring after-tax charges were $21 million, or 14 cents per diluted share, for legacy
environmental remediation and pension plan settlement costs, and $5 million, or 3 cents per diluted share, for acquisition-related costs.
The quarter also included a non-recurring after-tax benefit of $10 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, for the retroactive impact of U.S. tax law changes enacted in early 2013. A Regulation G Reconciliation of reported to adjusted net income and earnings per diluted share is included below.
"We achieved year-over-year global volume growth of 5 percent, our highest level in three years," said Charles E. Bunch, PPG chairman and chief executive officer. "Additionally, growth rates accelerated in each region versus recent quarters, including in Europe, where our volumes grew 5 percent as we benefited from the early stages of that region's economic recovery. PPG's growth was also broad-based across many of our businesses, led by automotive OEM coatings and aerospace, where our performance continued to outpace strong global growth in these end-use markets.
"We delivered excellent earnings leverage on the improved demand stemming from the aggressive actions we have taken to significantly reduce our cost structure," Bunch added. "In addition, our cash deployment over the past several years is contributing to our earnings growth, including achievement of targeted cost synergies from our acquisitions. As a result, our adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations improved by more than 40 percent versus the prior-year figure, aided by earnings improvement in each major region. Also for the quarter, we more than fully replaced the earnings from our recently-divested businesses."
Looking ahead, Bunch said, "We anticipate solid global growth to continue, but it will not be uniform across geographies or end-use markets. PPG remains well-positioned with a balanced coatings portfolio, both regionally and by end-use market, providing broad growth opportunities while minimizing the impact of any individual fluctuations. Additionally, we have a stronger cash position, which we intend to deploy in a timely, disciplined manner with a continued focus on earnings-accretive cash uses, including additional acquisitions and share repurchases."

College beer pong players everywhere take notice: A 9-year-old named Tom Spicer from Australia is training to destroy you all. By the time he's ready for college, he'll be the Michael Jordan of draining Solo cups, leaving a wake of fallen opponents on his march to the top of the pong world.
We like the incorporation of moving targets in this bunch, as well as bouncing the ball off of three or more objects. It shows a true commitment to the craft, adding some strategy to a gifted arm.
What a masterful maestro. In the comments, Tom's dad, Neil, said Tom's fascination with trick shots falls in line with his love of doing things "outside the norm."
Haters will wonder how many takes it took for each shot, but Neil (YouTube user "djnee") was honest, and shot down suggestions that it was a waste of time.
"Oh, we filmed HEAPS of 'failshots'!!! I guess that most shots were 10 or 15 minutes to nail!" he said in the comments. "As for a waste of time, i can only presume that you haven't yet got kids of your own? Tom wanted me to "waste" a few hours with him, filming many, MANY attempts to get a little plastic ball into a cup, so that's what we did. You can spoil your kids rotten with useless electronic devices ETC.. OR you can just donate some quality time free of charge!"
We're already anxious to see what's in store for the next video.

Texas woman creates Hallmark Christmas Movie drinking game
If you find yourself forced to watch a Hallmark movie this holiday season, one Texas woman has created a game to help you maintain your sanity.
Brittany Graves, 28, of Haslet, which is 20 miles north of Fort Worth, created a drinking game inspired by the formulaic plot points featured in nearly every Hallmark made-for-TV movie.
Players must take a drink anytime the film has a "reference to a dead relative" or "someone disses a fake Christmas tree."
OFFICE LIFE: Houston Astros fans play funny office prank on Dodgers fan, coworker
Considering most Hallmark holiday movies involve a woman falling out of love with her boyfriend and rekindling a relationship with a former friend or high school colleague, Graves' drinking game is a recipe for liver failure.
"Watching all of them all the time, it's the same plot line," Graves told Chron.com Wednesday morning.
Graves' game, which was actually created last December, got a new lease on life after Country Living Magazine decided to share a photo of the game on its Facebook page this week.

That was the time it took for Usain Bolt to confirm his status as the fastest man on the planet and, in his own words, a "living legend" of the sport.
The pre-race build-up had been dominated by talk of how Yohan Blake, the man Bolt nicknamed 'The Beast' because of his ferocious work ethic, might be the man to wrest the Olympic 100 metres crown from his compatriot and training partner, but there was to be no usurping of Usain.
The doubts about Bolt's fitness were swept away as the giant Jamaican recovered from a sluggish start to triumph emphatically. His winning time was the second fastest in history, bettered only by Bolt's own 2009 world record of 9.59sec. Blake was runner-up a distant 0.12sec behind.
Bolt's victory was the cue for a high-decibel eruption in the Olympic Stadium that barely abated in the minutes after the race as Bolt hammed up his celebrations with his trademark lightning bolt pose.
But there was one person inside the stadium who had his eye on something else. Alan Bell, the chief starter for the track and field events, had been acting as start coordinator for the race and had been positioned on the outside of the track looking directly at the sprinters in their blocks.
He had a perfect view of the drama that unfolded as a bottle was thrown from the crowd, landing just behind the athletes a split-second before the starter's gun was fired.
"The bottle came from out of the crowd, and towards me," Bell said. "I was aware of some movement but I didn't actually see a bottle. Thankfully, none of the athletes either saw it or heard it either because it actually hit the track between the blocks and the lane markers.
"The next thing I saw was two men pinning a bloke to the ground. Then one of my start team picked up the bottle and we all went 'Bloody hell!' I took the bottle to a plain-clothed policeman who was standing in the tunnel.
"He said: 'You shouldn't give it to me. You should wait until those guys make an arrest and give it to them as evidence'. It was only then that I became aware that the two men were also police officers."
Despite the rumpus, Bell, who had quite rightly disqualified Bolt from the 2011 World Championship final for false starting, was still able to enjoy an occasion he says he will never experience again. Not that he ever really doubted Bolt would prevail.
"I knew that if he was anywhere near physically and psychologically right, he was still better than anyone else in the world, and that was proven," Bell said. "He's gone down in the history books. He's done many things that we'll never see again in our lifetime."
The crowd had another reason to exercise their vocal chords as local girl Christine Ohuruogu turned back the clock with a storming 400m run to take the silver medal behind her American nemesis, Sanya Richards-Ross. Had it been a 410m race, the fast-finishing Ohuruogu might well have celebrating her second Olympic victory just a mile from the Stratford family home where she grew up.
Across the water in Greenwich, Britain's run of success in the gymnastics arena continued as Louis Smith and Max Whitlock won silver and bronze respectively on the pommel horse. Agonisingly, Smith missed out on the gold by the narrowest of margins as Hungarian Krisztian Berki tied Smith on 16.066 points but won on a countback.
In Weymouth, Ben Ainslie was also embroiled in perhaps his toughest Olympic battle – escaping the clutches of over-excited BBC reporter Rob Walker who held him in a vice-like embrace as he screamed: "What a week. What a regatta. What a moment. You are the greatest Olympic sailor in history."
Ainslie looked far from amused, though the Finn sailor could at least content himself with a fourth consecutive gold medal following an epic battle with Denmark's Jonas Hogh-Christensen that ended in victory for the Englishman by the narrowest of margins.
Trailing Hogh-Christensen going into the final medal race and needing to finish ahead of him to retain his Olympic title, Ainslie observed: "I have never sailed in such a nerve-wracking race in my life." He has since announced his retirement from Olympic sailing.
Back on dry land, Andy Murray was celebrating his first ever Olympic gold medal after an extraordinary straight-sets triumph over Roger Federer on Wimbledon's Centre Court.
The Scot, who had not always enjoyed the full-hearted backing of an occasionally frosty Centre Court crowd, said he had never experienced anything like the atmosphere in SW19 that day, and he was not alone: even the officials were affected.
"Normally, before a big match I like to go outside and relax a bit," said Portuguese umpire Carlos Ramos, who has been officiating at the All England Club fors 21 years. "I go and see what people look like and get the vibe from the crowd and then I go into the court early to get a feeling for the atmosphere.
"For the Olympic final, the atmosphere was unique. I've never seen an atmosphere like that for a tennis match. It felt like people were up for something really special and they ended up getting it.
"The patriotic feeling was there a lot more than it's ever been before for Andy. The support was definitely more one-sided than it usually is.
"I think with Team GB doing so well, people got even more carried away and were displaying their patriotism even more, but in a very good and fair way. The crowd was never unfair with any of the players and they never disrupted the game.
"For me, ever since the Beijing Olympics, tennis has become very, very big at the Olympics and to have the Olympics at Wimbledon and with a British player in the final was just incredible."
"A drunken spectator threw a bottle onto the track! I HAVE BEATEN HIM.... unbelievable. Mad disrespectful".

iPhoto printing PDFs sideways
- by Marcelo Cantos
When I print to PDF from iPhoto (7.1.5), my scans (which are all portrait) all end up sideways in the PDF file. I've searched high and low for some setting that will alter this. The only one that I could find that would plausibly affect this is the Layout menu item in the Print customisation view, but this has no effect. Even rotating the images doesn't change it. Why is iPhoto printing my PDFs sideways, and how do I get it to stop?

Reverse Burnout
- David Coulter
I have a long commute to the hospital where I work. I've been doing this for a long time and have thought about retirement. So when I'm stuck on the turnpike in morning rush-hour traffic, when it takes me 60 to 90 minutes to get in to work, I often say to myslf, "Why am I doing this? Why not just quit, retire and enjoy life at home? I don't need this aggravation."
Then I spend the entire day seeing patients, many of whom I have known for a long time. And at the end of the day, when I go back out to my car, I often think to myself, "That was fun! This has been a good day! I think I'll keep on doing this."

The next two weeks are going to be huge for gadget lovers. We're ready. You should be too.
Here's everything we know so far:
- The iPhone 5 announcement is still expected to happen October 4. This weekend we learned from All Things D that the keynote will take place at Apple's HQ. If that's all true, we should be getting the official invitation any day now. While you wait, we have the latest rumors right here >
- Oh yeah, Apple will probably show off some new iPods on October 4 too.
- Amazon is expected to announce its 7-inch tablet (finally!) at a press event in NYC on Wednesday, September 28. We'll be there covering it live. We're hearing some good things (more on that soon!) about the Amazon tablet.
- Motorola is working on not one, but two new Xoom tablets that should arrive by the end of the year. They'll be super thin at just 9.3 mm. That's about as thin as your iPhone 4! Engadget snagged a bunch of cool photos, so check them out.
- Samsung's Galaxy Tab 8.9 is pretty much ready to go. We'll be getting one to play with tonight at Samsung's press event in NYC. Hands on photos coming soon!

"The Renaissance" by Q Tip
It's good to see Q Tip back with a new album. "The Renaissance" at first seems like a logical progression from his last full length official album in the 90's but on closer inspection the story is not quite so simple. The MC who first burst on to the scene with A Tribe Called Quest (and other Native Tongue affiliates like The Jungle Brothers and De La Soul) has been busy with the customary Hollywood acting career, but he has also had a number of albums that have never seen the light of day due to record company politics and other reasons.
So what happened? "Amplified" was his solo debut that did reasonably well even though it curiously dissapointed loads of fans of A Tribe Called Quest, who had recently disbanded after the under-rated "Love Movement" album. The last Tribe album was certainly not as mind-blowing as their first three, all bona-fide hip-hop classics, but it still had it moments. It was criticised for straying away from the traditional Tribe sound, but in reality, it was an album that again used some of the most cutting edge production in hip-hop, again supplied by Jay Dee aswell as Tip and Ali , the man largely responsible for their previous set, "Beats Rhymes and Life"
Hip-hop fans are a curious bunch sometimes. Back when Tribe released 'The Low End Theory", many were dismissive aswell, as it was a stark progression from their jazzy "Peoples Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm" debut. People quickly caught up though, and by "Midnight Marauders" even the harshest of critics conceded that this was the work of hip-hop royalty. The final two albums may have had people confused again, but now all these years later most critics and fans concede that the production of Jay Dee was simply years ahead of his time, and the Tribes later albums reward closer inspection.
Q Tips "Amplified" was way too jiggy for some, but after later Jay Dee (now known as Dilla before his death in 2006) work with Madlib, Frank n 'Dank and Phat Kat, it seems to make even more sense now. Quite simply, it's a banging album, and it stands up well nearly 10 years on. He then took a typical left field route with the curve ball that was the more off-centre jazz influenced Kamaal the Abstract album, but anyone who knew Q Tip will have recognised that this was similar to the material he had been sampling for years with the Tribe; it made sense to go straight to the source!
The record companies have been even more confused by the fans and the album, like much of his material since, was left unreleased and despite some interesting bits and pieces this decade "The Renaissance" is his first official full length since "Amplified". If you are even a bit of a fan, give it a chance and hear him out. It's an album that has the right ingredients for the notoriously safe U.S. market (Norah Jones, Raphael Saadiq and a big Jackson 5 sampling Dilla produced single culled from his "Donuts" set http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI2szueHoL8) but above all it's an album brought to us by a guy who is generally ahead of the game, and who's music will always stand up despite the various fashions or trends of the day. It is not quite a hip-hop Renaissance, but like the Di Vincis and Michelangelos, he will stand the test of time.

"After the idea, there is plenty of time to learn the technology"-James Dyson
I've always been of the opinion that technology is something that should be used to our advantage with regard to music. Coming from a background where i was a serious vinyl collector for many years this has sometimes led to some big dilemmas recently, and converting a lot of music to digital format gave me a lot of mixed feelings these last few years. Having used both digital and more traditional methods DJing i can safely say there is a lot to be said for both, and it simply depends on the person or scenario.
As a hip-hop fan, it is always necessary to pay respect to the role which technology has played in the music. The technological advances of the late 70's and early 80's provided the cornerstone for many of the great ideas springing from the harsh inner city boroughs of New York and elsewhere. In those days, rather than having to buy loads of equipment such as guitars and drums to emulate their funk and soul heroes, many music fans could now simply make music by grabbing a mic and assembling a groove for cheap.
These grooves were often supplied by a DJ operating on relatively cheap turntables, cutting up two copies of a record while the MC simply spat lyrics. Suddenly music was readily available for everyone and like the DIY punk and scene of a similar era, kids could now get records out on the cheap and on the fly. Years later it's much easier and dance music culture has moved on but now it may not be as easy to make your release feel as special as bringing out a 7 or 12".
As a DJ i can download more or less anything in 5 minutes but it will never replace the feeling of lusting after a vinyl record for years, and eventually tracking down a copy in a dodgy second hand shop basement full of dusty wax. I can now bring 20,000 tunes with me on CD or on a hard-drive, the same number of tunes that were once in my vinyl collection, but nothing will replace the feeling of flicking through the actual records with the original covers and the sleeve-notes and history that each brought.
Playing a few gigs lately where i was pretty much using only vinyl, i got an incredible buzz and realised how much i love the format, the sound and the culture of these records. I never got rid of any of my main records anyway, and they will always be my pride and joy, and even though it's much easier to go to 90% of my gigs with a laptop and loads of CD's, there are times when it will have to be beautiful black vinyl!
Purists will shrug their shoulders and dismiss the young DJ's who have never bought a record, but I can honestly say that i would never begrudge youngsters the convenience of the format they use. There is no doubt in my mind that years of record collecting and crate digging has benefited my music knowledge, and i will always treasure this, but technology is there for us all, and there is nothing wrong with using it to your benefit. After all, it's what comes out of the speakers that really matters.

Bildner, Phil Marvelous Cornelius: Hurricane Katrina and the Spirit of New Orleans, illustrated by John Parra. Chronicle, 2015. $17.
Marvelous Cornelius spends his days on the streets of New Orleans gathering in the day's trash and keeping the streets clean. When Hurricane Katrina arrives, he shakes his head in despair over the amount of trash left behind, but he rolls up his sleeves and gets to work and along with many, many helpers he cleans up the town.
Inspired by an actual New Orleans sanitation worker, Bildner celebrates the joy, the sadness and the rebuilding of the city of New Orleans after Katrina almost laid it to waste.

That's right, folks, the wait is over: Antoine Walker, Shandon Anderson and Michael Doleac are finally champions.
As great as these playoffs were, as we look around this here Interweb the morning after the Miami Heat won their first NBA championship, we find disappointment, frustration and, not surprisingly, plenty of referee-directed anger. A roundup:
• Free Darko: "WHAT THE F—K HAVE WE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS?"
• Eric Folkereth: "Mavs 92 Heat 88 (Or That's What It Should Have Been ... And Here's The Video To Prove It...) "
• Complete Sports: "As far as on-the-floor-celebrations go, I was a much bigger fan of the Antoine Walker Shimmy than the Alonzo Mourning Hyperventilation."
• The Mighty MJD: "Seems like we can't have any sort of championship game anymore without the talk always surrounding the officials. Are officials worse now than they were ten years ago? Or do players and funs just bitch more? I'm not sure of the answer to that one... but it's a bad direction for things to be going."
• True Hoop: "Does Stan Van Gundy get a ring? Does he get a playoff share?"
