A man was intoxicated while riding his horse as he led police on a half-hour chase through a northeast Florida town, authorities said Tuesday.
BUNNELL, Fla. (AP) � A man was intoxicated while riding his horse as he led police on a half-hour chase through a northeast Florida town, authorities said Tuesday.
Charles Larkin Cowart, 29, was arrested Monday afternoon in the city of Bunnell, about 60 miles south of Jacksonville.
A police officer was responding to a report of "an intoxicated male riding a horse" when he turned on his emergency lights to stop traffic as Cowart crossed the street, according to the charging affidavit. Cowart said he was on his way to his grandmother's house in nearby Flagler Beach, but refused officers' order to dismount and "in an aggressive manner reared the horse back" and took off running.
Officers did not immediately chase after him, the report said, citing the public and the horse's safety. Cowart continued to ride through town, "causing a crowd of people to come out of their homes" and a train to slow down as Cowart crossed over a set of railroad tracks. Police kept their emergency lights on, but did not use their sirens to prevent the horse from being frightened and "potentially making the situation worse."
Cowart ignored several verbal commands to get off the horse, which after more half an hour, became exhausted. Cowart eventually jumped off and took off running. He was captured a short time later. The horse returned to Cowart's family and is doing fine, police said.
Cowart was booked into the Flagler County Jail on charges that included disorderly conduct, resisting arrest without violence and cruelty to animals. He was being held Tuesday on $7,000 bond.
A message was left Tuesday at a phone listing for Cowart in Bunnell, about 60 miles south of Jacksonville. It was not immediately known if he has an attorney.
Cowart was arrested for petit theft on Sept. 9 and on a DUI charge in October 2010. The disposition of those charges wasn't immediately known.

The New York Times discovers the nascent effort to make the third year of law school optional in New York state. This isn't news to Frum Forum readers. We (or, I guess, they) wrote about this in November of 2011.
This doesn't mean that legal education doesn't need reform. Personally, I'd say that while the casebook method is a good teaching method, it doesn't need to last for three years. Getting a law degree is already a graduate degree in this country and I don't see why it should take more than two years of study. There is an old saying that in law school, they scare you to death in the first year, work you to death in the second year and bore you to death in the third year.
There's a lot of truth to that saying, and shortening the degree program with an emphasis on a strong core curriculum (such as securities law or real estate law courses, not "law and" courses) would be helpful for getting law students out of school with lower debt burdens. Also, it would be beneficial for law schools to spend more time on legal writing courses that include non-litigation items like drafting of contracts and simulated deal closings as well as mock appellate briefs and other litigation-oriented documents.

A Cookie for Your Tuesday
Like most fans, my undying love for baseball is deeply rooted in my youth. Sifting through baseball card packs while watching a game just a foot or so from the old fashioned box television at my grandma's house, equally mesmerized and infatuated with the moving pictures and colorful palette of MLB 1980s era uniforms popping off the cardboard… I can almost smell the goulash cooking in the kitchen and taste the brick flavoring of the free baseball card bubble gum.
For a long time now, I've been relying on a Tumblr blog to take me back, to calm me, to remind me how I came to love our national pastime. So when you're down and out or when you just need a smile to keep you going, head on over to 80s Baseball Player of the Day and enjoy the trip back in time.
I've been wanting to pimp this Tumlbr for a long time now. I've just been waiting for the right moment. And when dude hit the triumvirate of Bret Saberhagen (wearing his little brother's jacket?), Atlee Hammaker (best name in baseball?) and Ozzie Virgil (he is the most interesting man in the world?), then I knew it was time.
You're welcome. Also, don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Species In-Depth
At the Aquarium
Comb jellies are on exhibit with other sea jelly species in the Northern Pacific Gallery.
Geographic Distribution
Endemic: east coasts of North and South America from the Canadian Maritime Provinces to the southern tip of South America. Invasive species: Black Sea, Azov, Aegean and Marmara Seas, western coast of Sweden, southern and northern Baltic Sea.
This species generally prefers coastal saltwater habitats in bays and estuarine locations; however, it is tolerant of a wide range of salinity, 3% to 39%; temperature, 4.0o-31.0o C (39.2o-87.8o F); and water quality conditions. It is frequently found in brackish water that is low in oxygen content and high in pollution. It can also be occasionally found in the open ocean waters long distances from land. It seems to prefer near surface waters, but will work its way into deeper water during periods of rough seas.
Physical Characteristics
The vertical cross section of the comb jelly is bell shaped with the lower margin of the oral lobes forming the rim of the bell. The mouth is positioned where the bell clapper might be. There are wart-like bumps on the walnut shaped body.
The visible internal structures are primarily the gonads and the digestive system. Externally the animal has eight longitudinal rows or bands of cilia (tiny movable hairs) that divide the body into eight symmetrical shapes and also give it the ability to slowly move through the water. There are two fine, filamentous lobes on either side of the mouth used for feeding that can be retracted into the body. There are other smaller fine accessory tentacles that aid the feeding process.
Although this animal has a translucent almost colorless body, it frequently presents a real color show. The moving cilia refract ambient light into all colors of the rainbow and bright fluorescent stripes are visible on the body. Many ctenophores are bioluminescent, including this species, and at night soft green or blue-green light may be observed.
Maximum length of the sea walnut generally ranges between 100-120 mm (3.9-4.7 in} although larger specimens have been reported from the Caspian and Black Seas. The body width is approximately half of its length.
This comb jelly is a voracious carnivore and a major predator of edible zooplankton consuming up to 10 times its weight per day. It prefers a broad-based diet of zooplankton including eggs and larval forms of various invertebrates and fishes, juvenile fish, copepods, sea jellies, and even other ctenophores. Phytoplankton is also found in the gut but is apparently incidental to the preferred diet.
It feeds by continuing pumping water into its body cavity trapping small prey on adhesive cells (colloblasts) found on the tentacles and the inside surface of the two lobes. The food is then transferred to the mouth for ingestion. It captures large prey by swimming with lobes out-stretched, then snapping them closed to trap the meal. Mnemiopsis leidyi never feels full. If food is present it will never cease feeding.
This species is a free-spawning simultaneous hermaphrodite that is capable of self fertilization. Spawning takes place during summer months and will vary with habitat conditions. Internal fertilization can occur, but most commonly eggs and sperm are broadcast into the water column where fertilization takes place. The eggs produce a fast growing larva that is fully developed in 20 hours. On hatching the larvae are 0.3-0.4 mm (0.12-0.16 in) long. Sexual maturity is rapid and some specimens may begin to produce eggs in as little as two weeks after hatching. In the Caspian Sea spawning occurs at night when 2-3,000 eggs per day are produced dependent on food availability.
These planktonic animals are subject to movement by currents and wind and wave action. The bands of cilia provide some mobility, probably relating mostly to vertical position in the water column. Primary activities relate to feeding and reproduction.
This species can tolerate a rather broad range of water temperature, salinity, and pollution. If food supply becomes limited, these comb jellies have the ability to reduce their physical size and metabolism and therefore reduce food requirements to the point where they can survive for up to three weeks on a limited intake of food.
Because they are sexually self-fertilizing it is feasible that a single, displaced specimen could start a whole new, non-native population.
This species has a number of natural predators including several species of fishes, some sea jellies and even other ctenophores, but natural population control is minimal. They have no positive commercial value but have had a tremendous economic impact on areas where they are an invasive species.
The unintentional introduction of Mnemiopsis leidyi into the Caspian Sea had a catastrophic effect on the entire ecosystem. Several years later it was introduced into the Baltic Sea where it devastated the anchovy fisheries. More recent introductions into other parts of Europe have caused severe hardships in local fisheries. Large populations of voracious comb jellies significantly reduce the volume of fish eggs and larvae and also diminished other planktonic forms that these developing animals require for food. Populations of fishes and dolphin have crashed. The resulting loss of harvestable fishes has caused a severe decline in the fisheries industry. The income loss due to this jelly since the beginning of the 1990s is estimated at over 300 million US dollars
Seventeen years after the introduction of M. leidyi into the Black Sea, another introduced comb jelly Beroe ovata, a natural enemy of the American comb jelly that preys almost exclusively on it has caused the decline of some populations of these comb jellies to a low enough level that the ecosystem seems to have recovered to some extent.
Special Notes
The ballast water of ships unintentionally introduced Mnemiopsis leidyi into the Black Sea and adjacent seas in 1982. In 1999 it appeared in the Caspian Sea, introduced in the ballast water of oil tankers; in 2006 in waters on the western coast of Sweden and the southern Baltic Sea; and in 2007, the northern Baltic Sea. The American comb jelly is now listed by the Global Invasive Species Program as among the 100 of the World's Worst Invasive Alien Species.
Mnemiopsis is considered to be the most studied ctenophore genus in the world both because of its abundance as a native species in estuaries in heavily populated urban areas of the US and its abundance, rapid growth, and spread since its introduction into the Black Sea in the early 1980s where it spread to other areas to become a major invasive species.

Release Date: 2007 |
I'm not much of a Fear Factory fan at all.
Digging: Paysage d'Hiver - Im Wald
Huh, Fear Factory, and Pantera pretty much dominated my ear waves.This Message Edited On 11.26.07
Digging: Make Them Suffer - How to Survive a Funeral
I'd fix up the Pros/Cons section, it's really hard to just look at since it's spaced like that.
EDIT: Better, but I was thinking more along the lines of using hypehens as bullets.This Message Edited On 09.23.07
I'll probably buy this soon, I've heard a couple of songs off of it on headbangers ball, and I liked them.
Pretty great cd. Well Dino's one of my fav guitarists along with rizzo.
If I were you, I'd lay out the pros/cons like this:
-Some diversity is shown throughout, many sub genres blended well.
-Solos add new elements to Fear Factory style riffing
-Strong clean vocals.
-Bit repetitive
-Harsh vocals might turn some off.
-More diversity could make this band a house hold name.
-Lyrics are at times immature, and unneeded language.
Just looks a bit neater, apart from that though, solid review man.This Message Edited On 09.23.07
Album Rating: 3.5
Fast paced groove metal in the vein of Fear Factory, with a twist.
Well im a huge ff fan so I probaly enjoy this more than most. But seriously why am I not ranked?
Album Rating: 1.5I was really turned off the one song I heard by them! Well written review none the less.
Digging: Xazraug - Unsympathetic Empyrean
Album Rating: 4.0Awesome album even though i'm sure they can do better. The songs could be a bit more diverse (especially the drumming) even though i love Tim's drumming. and this album still has filler tracks like Royal Blood Heresy. The lyrics are great. Good review btw! and i gotta agree with you that Tommy's vocals arent that great but he does have an incredible clean singing voice.This Message Edited On 10.08.07
Digging: Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist - Alfredo
Yeah his harsh vocals are strange for the music. Blastbeats and fear factory riffing with hardcore growling, weird. His singing makes up for it though.
Yes, I think it sounds a lot like Fear Factory from the Soul of a New Machine era. Meaning, the music is really heavy. The clean vocals sound, sort of, like that from their later records. This, to me, is just another Fear Factory with better vocals (although they can be a little weird at times) and better drumming. The guitar is pure trademark Dino, and to me that was Fear Factory. Fuck Burton. He was/is horrible. Raymond is a good drummer, but I dont think he knows what a tom is. I just like this because its what Ive always wanted Fear Factory to sound like. Fast and heavy.
this cd is terrible, the only redeeming quality is the drumming
Album Rating: 3.5Actually , I love these guys now.
So good.
Good review too
I really enjoyed this album too.
The drumming is really impressive on here. Even on the single Tim plays lightning fast.
Too bad everything else is cheesy as hell.
"Bleed The Fifth" how gay can you get?
Album Rating: 3.5how is 'Bleeding The Fifth' gay or cheesy????
Tim is a beast, but I'd like to see him play with these live to see if he actually plays all that Double bass.
Dino and the singer are impressive too.
Album Rating: 3.5http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyDPBzPxVkA
This is him playing Failed Creation at two different speeds, filmed by the other two members of the group
I like the singers clean vocals.

Some types of noises are normal in an LCD, LED, and/or Plasma Television. You will need to determine the type of noise to properly troubleshoot the issue.
Having volume present
Increase the volume to a setting between 30 and 50. Listen for the popping/cracking noise to see if it is coming from the TV speakers or inside the cabinet.
If so, check multiple channels and inputs.
If not, it is normal for the television cabinet (Television case) to expand and contract due to varying heat temperatures and this may result in the cabinet producing a popping or cracking noise.
Note: The cabinet may vibrate if the volume level is set too high.

Nature – The Great Teacher
Michael O'Malley, vice-president of human capital at Sibson Consulting, took up beekeeping as a hobby and was surprised to find that it provided insights into his day job of advising on risk management.
O'Malley writes in the Harvard Business Review that beehives are structured for long-term growth and as a result the pollen gatherers have become masters of risk management, unlike many "too big to fail" banks.
He writes: "When a colony gets too large, it becomes operationally unwieldy and grossly inefficient and the hive splits. Eventually, risk is spread across many hives and revenue sources in contrast to relying on one big, vulnerable "super-hive" for sustenance."
Other lessons he has taken from his hobby are that queen bees do not appear to be subject to short-term quarterly pollen and nectar targets. "No queen bee is under pressure for quarterly pollen and nectar targets. The hive is only beholden to the long term. Indeed, beehives appear to underperform at times because they could collect more," he writes.
Instead, decision-making is decentralised with individual bees empowered to take decisive action, bolstered by a "disciplined career development program": "By the time bees are sent into the field, they are prepared — and, even then, novice foragers are frequently accompanied by veterans who show them how to efficiently and productively move among, and work, the flowers."……More

Any shred of doubt that the next iPhone is coming next month is slowly slipping away. This time, it was the CEO of France's Orange that let slip that his wireless carrier would be getting the iPhone 5 on October 15th.
That certainly lines up with pretty much everything else we've heard. The US will probably get the iPhone 5 right around the same time, if not the 15th, which is a Saturday, perhaps the Tuesday before. While the exact date isn't clear yet, one thing is: we're getting a new iPhone next month. Now come on and make it official already, Apple!

How Do We Become Spiritually Mature?
from John MacArthur Jul 08, 2020 Category: ArticlesWe don't want to remain spiritual children, perpetually stuck in infancy. We don't want to be weak, vulnerable, and immature. Nor do we want to be ignorant about God's truth, because we want to fully glorify Him for everything He has done. We want to appreciate Him in all His... Keep Reading
Rediscovering the Law
from R.C. Sproul Oct 17, 2009 Category: ArticlesIsrael's reformation came via a rediscovery of the law, which created a brief awakening to the bankruptcy of a corrupt nation. As a young man, King Josiah began the process of reformation with a spiritual purge, a cleansing of pagan elements from the religious life of the nation. Keep Reading
Semper Reformanda
from Michael Horton Oct 16, 2009 Category: Tabletalk MagazineIf you've been in Protestant circles for very long, whether conservative or liberal, you may have heard the phrase "reformed and always reforming" or sometimes just "always reforming." I hear it a lot these days, especially from friends who want our Reformed churches to be more open to moving beyond the faith and practice that is confessed in our doctrinal standards. Even in Reformed circles of late, various movements have arisen that challenge these standards. Keep Reading
Obsolete Media Goes Global
from Marty Banzhaf Oct 14, 2009 Category: ArticlesLigonier media resources have a long history in their global outreach. It is a great joy for the ministry to be able to contribute hundreds of resources from obsolete inventory and find an inexpensive way of distribution. DVDs, CDs, and MP3s are the media formats of the twenty-first century, yet this technology does not extend worldwide. As globalization has provided new media technology, still old media equipment for VHS and audio cassettes exist en masse and are kept operational in both urban and rural areas of underdeveloped countries.

Teenage Rebellion
from Keith Mathison Oct 13, 2009 Category: ArticlesLet's do a quick word association test. What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you see or hear the word teenager? Sadly, for many, the first words that come to mind are entirely negative. The word teenager brings to their mind other words such as lazy, apathetic, irresponsible, rude, know-it-all, and so on. Most people today have very low expectations for teenagers in general, and too many have low expectations for their own teenagers in particular. Teenagers themselves recognize these low expectations, and many live down to them—sleeping in and sliding by. Not all teenagers, however, are so complacent. Keep Reading
To Whom Be the Glory?
from Robert Barnes Oct 12, 2009 Category: ArticlesPastor's Perspective I'm a confessional Calvinist, but I have the nagging sense that God slipped up when he allowed me to pastor a church. A number of questions go through my mind as I consider God's decision to allow me to pastor at Dayspring Church (PCA). Is the church in such dire straits that I can actually be a help to her? Are things that bad? Or am I so ineffectual in my administration, my leadership, my influence, that I have not the will or ability to harm a church? Or perhaps, in the best of worlds, the postmillennial folks are right and the church, while gimpy, is steadily limping towards victory such that dragging one more weak pastor along will hardly slow her progress. But even that positive spin doesn't help me -- it still looks like I'm not up for the job. Keep Reading
Entering into Mystical Union
from R.C. Sproul Oct 11, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe Christian life is lived in the context of mystical union with Christ. This union finds its initial origin in eternity. Our salvation is from the foundation of the world, resting in the grace of God's sovereign election. Paul indicates this in Ephesians 1:3-6. Keep Reading
Climbing out of the Mire
from R.C. Sproul Oct 10, 2009 Category: ArticlesOur souls cannot climb out of the mire of sin because they are dead. Salvation comes not to those who cry out, "Show me the way to heaven," but to those who cry, "Take me there for I cannot." Keep Reading
Is the Church Full of Hypocrites?
from R.C. Sproul Oct 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesRight Now Counts Forever About thirty years ago, my close friend and colleague, Archie Parrish, who at that time led the Evangelism Explosion (EE) program in Fort Lauderdale, came to me with a request. He indicated that on the thousands of evangelistic visits the EE teams made, they kept a record of responses people made to discussions of the gospel. They collated the most frequent questions and objections people raised about the Christian faith and grouped these inquiries or objections into the ten most frequently encountered. Dr. Parrish asked if I would write a book answering those objections for evangelists to use in their outreach. That effort resulted in my book Objections Answered, now called Reason to Believe. Among the top ten objections raised was the objection that the church is filled with hypocrites. At that point in time, Dr. D. James Kennedy responded to this objection by replying, "Well, there's always room for one more." He cautioned people that if they found a perfect church, they ought not to join it, since that would ruin it. Keep Reading
Interview With Dr. Steven Lawson About the Ligonier Academy D.Min. Program
from Keith Mathison Oct 06, 2009 Category: Ligonier AcademyLast July, Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies welcomed its inaugural class of D.Min. students. One of the first courses offered, on the subject of preaching, was taught by Dr. Steve Lawson. Dr. Lawson is the Senior Pastor of Christ Fellowship Baptist Church in Mobile, Alabama and the author of fourteen books, including Famine in the Land: A Passionate Call to Expository Preaching, Faith Under Fire, The Expository Genius of John Calvin, Foundations of Grace 1400 BC-AD 100 (volume one of a five-volume series), and three titles in the Holman Old Testament Commentary Series (Job, Psalms Volume I, and Psalms Volume II). Dr. Lawson was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions about the Ligonier Academy Doctor of Ministry program. Keep Reading
Hypocritical Hypocrisy
from Burk Parsons Oct 05, 2009 Category: ArticlesCoram Deo: Living Before the Face of God I just began reading a book by a well-known pastor who, in the opening pages, referred to himself as a "professional hypocrite." Being a pastor, he is all too familiar with the hypocrite label that is so often leveled at pastors. On the surface it certainly seems appropriate for all pastors, and for that matter all Christians to admit that we are hypocrites. However, if we really understand what it means to be a hypocrite, then we should do everything necessary to avoid being labeled as such. We must be careful not to become hypocritical in acting as if being called a hypocrite doesn't matter. Furthermore, we must not think for a minute that just because you announce you are a hypocrite that you are not a hypocrite. While we must always strive to be genuine and honest people of God in all that we do, admitting our faults and confessing our sins to the church and the world, we also must always strive to be people who are known by the church and the world to be striving after true holiness.

President Barack Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie showcased their unlikely, Sandy-induced bromance in New Jersey Wednesday, heaping praise on one another during their joint tour of the storm damage along the Jersey coast.
"I want to just let you know that your governor is working overtime to make sure that as soon as possible everybody can get back to normal," Obama told storm survivors at a shelter in Brigantine, according to a White House pool report. "Hopefully if your homes aren't too badly damaged we can get the power back on and get you back in. For those of you whose homes are damaged we've also got Director Fugate of FEMA and one of the things we're going to do is to activate and make sure you guys are getting the help you need as quickly as possible."
Later, when Obama turned the floor over to Christie, the governor returned the favor:
"I just want to tell all of you exactly what the president just said. I know he means it," Christie said, according to the pool report. "We took a whole tour of the coast. He got a chance to see the destruction along the coast of New Jersey and we've been working with Director Fugate here to make sure that the things we need get here. This state is working hard too, you know we're working hard. I want to thank the president for coming here today. It's really important to have the president of the United States acknowledge all the suffering that's going on here in New Jersey and I appreciate it very much. We're going to work together to make sure we get ourselves through this crisis and get everything back to normal. Thank you for coming, sir."
Christie also tweeted out this picture:

Another post about signals… this time the rail kind. I thought about this while writing the last post, because this is sort of like a literal signal boost.
There are two signals on the Banfield between Lloyd Center and Hollywood TC that function differently from the rest of the signals on the alignment. These signals (34R and 36R) are repeater signals. They "repeat", or display the same aspects, as ABS signals 34 (eastbound) and 36 (westbound) respectively, but are positioned slightly ahead of the signals they repeat because those signals are around a curve.
34 R (eastbound), which is repeating the aspect displayed on…
Signal 36R does the same thing for signal 36, which is seen going westbound. I don't have a picture of signal 36, but here's its repeater signal:
Signal 36R (westbound). Signal 36 is located around the curve ahead, back-to-back with signal 34.
The speed limit through here is 45 mph, so due to the limited visibility with signals 34 and 36 being on a curve, it would be difficult to stop a train in time if those signals were red. The repeaters give advanced notice of what aspect those two signals are displaying so operators can act accordingly and stop if necessary.
Notice how there are no ATS magnets near the repeater signals, but you can see the ATS magnet (it looks like a small box between the rails) in the picture for signal 34. Going through a red on 34R or 36R won't automatically bring your train to a stop, however, you still treat like all other red signals and stop your train prior to the repeater if it's red. And if you run a red on a repeater signal and then trip the signal after it, I believe that counts as two rule violations for going through two red signals (which I've never done..).

LeBron James played sloppy basketball for nearly three quarters, but he and the Miami Heat still managed to fend off the San Antonio Spurs and pull away late for a 103-84 win in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
James scored 17, with 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks, and 3 steals. He helped ice the game on a block of a Tiago Splitter dunk, followed by an assist on a Ray Allen three-pointer then a thunderous tomohawk dunk on a fast break with just under eight minutes to go.
The play gave the Heat a 24-point lead on a 30-5 run. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich emptied the bench after that, conceding the win to Miami.
"Honestly, for me, when I was struggling offensively, my teammates continued to keep it in range," James said. " And we even had a lead at one point, especially late in the second quarter when we made that run and I was struggling a little bit."
Mario Chalmers led the Heat with 19 points on 6 of 12 shooting, Chris Bosh scored 12 points with 10 rebounds, and Dwyane Wade scored 10. Ray Allen, Mike Miller, and Chris, "Birdman" Andersen contributed quality minutes off the bench, combining for 31 points.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"Rio more than anybody kept us aggressive, him getting into the paint, him getting those and-ones and making a couple of threes," James said. "It allowed me to sit back and wait for my time."
But the story of the game was James, who looked listless and disengaged for much of the first three quarters. He scored just 8 points on 3 of 13 shooting in the first three quarters. Only three of those attempts came in the paint.
Then he got a pep talk from veteran teammate Juwan Howard near the Miami bench during a timeout, after which point he came alive.
On three straight possessions after the timeout, he got a "hockey assist" (when Mario Chalmers took a James pass and dropped the ball off to Ray Allen for a wide open three-pointer), then a left-handed layup over Duncan while falling down, followed by an assist that led to a Miller three-pointer.
"For some reason when our backs are against the wall, we really respond appropriately and that kind of propels us through the rest of the series," Bosh said. "Maybe when we look back on this we'll say losing Game 1 was the best thing that could happen to us."
The first half was back-and-forth, with 7 lead changes and 4 ties. No team led by more than 5 points. The Heat led 50-45 at halftime. Wade and Chalmers led the Heat with 10 points each. James got off to a slow start, scoring only 4 points on 2 of 7 shooting, though he did have 4 assists. Chris Andersen scored 7 points off the bench, Chris Bosh had 6 points and 5 rebounds.
San Antonio shot 7 of 10 from three-point range, and just 9 of 29 from everywhere else. The Spurs missed 8 shots from within 5 feet of the rim in the first quarter alone.
Danny Green scored 17 points on 6 of 6 shooting (5 of which came from downtown), but the rest of the Spurs could not get much done on offense. San Antonio committed 17 turnovers, Tim Duncan scored only 9 on 3 of 13 shooting, while Tony Parker shot 5 of 14 for 13 points.
The win ties the Finals at 1-1. The series will shift to San Antonio for the next three games, with Game 3 tipping off on Tuesday night.

Speaker: Stephen E. Goldstone, M.D., Board Certified General Surgeon
- What Is HPV?
- How Many People Have HPV?
- How Do You Get HPV?
- What Does It Mean if I Have HPV?
- Screening Method: Rectal Exams and Anal Paps
- What Can Be Done to Treat HPV?
- Questions/Answers
Dr. Goldstone is a surgeon who specializes in anal and rectal disorders. December's Community Forum was an informal, well-attended discussion on rectal health. Rectal health is a topic often considered taboo by conservative medical society, particularly amongst surgeons. The field is expanding quickly. Because it is known that human papilloma virus (HPV) is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections, Dr. Goldstone focused much of his discussion on HPV, and the practical screening methods used to prevent the disease from becoming cancerous.
The truth is that you cannot really discuss the topic of rectal health without discussing a common sexually transmitted infection called HPV.
What Is HPV?
HPV is a common viral infection, caused by a number of strains of human papillomavirus. HPV can lead to warts on the skin and mucous membranes (particularly in the genitals), and is often associated with cervical or anal dysplasia, and in some cases, cervical and anal cancer.
To date, there are over sixty types of HPV that have been identified, some more common than others. Certain strains of HPV are associated with warts on the skin, particularly on or around the anus, inside the rectum, penis, labia, or vagina. Warts appear when a person's immune system responds to the virus in the skin cells and causes inflammation in that area. Though HPV is probably best know for its association with genital warts, it is possible to carry HPV and never have genital warts. Some strains of papillomavirus, which can reside in the area between the vagina and cervix, or the anus and rectum, can cause inflammation and changes in the cervical or anal tissue to varying degrees. This is called dysplasia. High-grade dysplasia is strongly associated with an increased risk of cervical and anal cancer, especially for men and women living with HIV/AIDS.
How Many People Have HPV?
Close to 50% of sexually active men and women have HPV. The number is higher among men who have sex with men, and for both women and men living with HIV. In women, HPV infection is more common for those who become sexually active at an early age, and for those with multiple sexual partners. It is estimated that 85% of women living with HIV and close to 100% of gay and bisexual men with HIV have HPV, though many don't know it. HPV infection is one of the most common reasons for abnormal results on Pap smears.
How Do You Get HPV?
This viral infection is, unfortunately, fairly easy to pass through lots of common sex acts. Many sexually active adults have it because it is so easy to transmit, even with condom use. Men with HPV can have virus present on the anus, on or around the penis, thighs, or butt cheeks, and may not necessarily know it. Condoms, when used, don't cover all of these areas. Women can have virus in the thighs and butt cheeks, but also in their cervix, in the skin cells around and inside the vagina, labia, and in the rectum. For people with compromised immune systems, HPV is sometimes found in the mouth in the form of small bumps.
You don't have to have semen present to catch the virus. Skin to skin contact can be more than enough. HPV can be present in the cells lining the rectum even for people who haven't had lots of anal sex. Dr. Goldstone explained that through sexual activity, with fingers, penises, or sex toys, and possibly through other ways, HPV can migrate from a place like the vagina to the rectum, or from the thighs to the rectum. Simply rubbing yourself against an area where virus is present, like the shaft of someone's penis, or the outer labia, can sometimes be enough.
What Does It Mean if I Have HPV?
The short answer is, not much. Having HPV doesn't mean you can't have sex. Dr. Goldstone advised people to worry less about getting HPV and focus more on getting regular Pap smears to screen for HPV-associated dysplasia. This is good advice for both sexually active women, and for all men who have sex with men.
Screening Method: Rectal Exams and Anal Paps
Because it is possible to have HPV, warts, or anal dysplasia without realizing it, Dr. Goldstone strongly urged all men who have had sex with men, women who have had anal sex, and people who already know they have HPV, to see their doctor regularly. He recommends that people request both a rectal exam and an anal Pap smear once a year as part of routine preventive care. This is the best method currently available to screen for possible inflammation and precancerous changes in the cells of the rectum that may happen as a result of HPV infection.
A Rectal Exam is when a doctor inserts one finger inside the anus, into the rectum, and feels around for abnormal growths. Warts, and other obvious problems, can sometimes be detected this way, but the rectal exam is unable to detect subtle changes that can be precursors to bigger problems. Because rectal exams only spot fairly obvious or advanced problems, it's important to ask for a Pap smear, which is more sensitive, and a better predictor of whether you may need further observation or treatment.
A Pap smear is a simple procedure, most commonly used by gynecologists to screen for cervical cancer. Dr. Goldstone explained that the Pap smear can also be used anally in men and women to screen for changes and abnormal cells in the rectum, associated with HPV infection. Pap smears usually involve thin dacron swabs or a nylon brush inserted through the vagina to collect cervical cells. The cells are then sent to a lab, where a pathologist analyzes it for any changes, or abnormal activity.
To perform an anal Pap smear, any trained physician can insert a dacron swab inside the anus to collect a sample of the cells. Because anal paps must be done without the use of any lubricant, they can be uncomfortable. Once cells are collected, they are sent to a cytologist, who will determine whether or not those cells are abnormal. If there is a finding of abnormal, further tests can be done to determine whether the cells are reactive, and to what degree.
Results are reported according to the same system (Bethesda) used to analyze most cervical Pap smears. According to this system, the possibilities include:
Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), referring to cells that can't be categorized as normal or dysplastic, sometimes due to bad specimen.
Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). This includes warts (anal/cervical/genital) and mild dysplasia (sample shows evidence of cervical or anal intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1, referred to as CIN I and AIN I). In the Bethesda system, CIN I and AIN I are both reported as LSIL, or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.
High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). This category is often simply referred to as high-grade dysplasia. It includes samples showing evidence of CIN/AIN grade 2 or 3 (sometimes referred to as moderate and severe dysplasia), or carcinoma in situ.
What Can Be Done to Treat HPV?
Regular screening through Pap smears and rectal exams are our best bet for preventing problems, but what if problems are detected?
Dr. Goldstone stressed that treatments for people with abnormal anal paps vary according to the source and the severity of the cellular changes. He suggested that anyone who gets an abnormal Pap smear should have a more sensitive procedure called high resolution anoscopy (HRA). To perform HRA, your doctor inserts a small scope with a light at the end inside your anus to actually look at the cells and see whether there are any warts, precanceorus lesions, or other abnormalities in the tissue. HRA shows a doctor exactly where there may be abnormal tissue and whether surgery, or other methods, are required to effectively treat the lesion. Your doctor may biopsy any lesions (a small pinch) to see if the tissue is high grade or not.
According to Dr. Goldstone, HRA results that indicate a high-grade dysplasia require treatment because, if left untreated, high-grade lesions can progress to anal cancer. In women, some cases of high grade cervical dysplasia are treated by a method known as a cone biopsy, where the surgeon removes the precancerous portion of cervical tissue. In anal dysplasia, physicians can't remove the anus, so they have to directly remove the abnormal tissue through a variety of different methods. Rarely is aggressive surgical removal required to treat these lesions, and Dr. Goldstone emphasized that people should beware of doctors who tell them they require an extensive operation.
When growths or warts are detected, the next step is to treat the spot with an acid, or freeze it, or perform a laser procedure to burn it off. These are common procedures and, if caught early, the precancerous area can be removed before causing further damage. Dr. Goldstone asserts that precancerous areas look different than common warts. If you do have warts, your doctor should be suspicious that you may also have a precancerous area. You should see a doctor and get a HRA to better understand the scope of the problem.
Q: Are topical creams, like gancyclovir, effective at treating the lesions?
A: Not yet. In fact, a number of topical ointments have been tried, like retinoids, all with no results. Dr. Goldstone is currently sponsoring a clinical trial with indole-3-carbonyl, a component found in cabbage. The chemical comes in pill form, and has been effective against other types of HPV lesions. Dr. Goldstone is also testing a vaccine that might stimulate your body's own immunity to kill the high grade lesion.
Q: What is cancer in situ?
A: A lesion looks very similar to a cancer, but has not yet progressed to an advanced stage where it can spread.
Q: What is a fissure?
A: A fissure is a tear in your anus. Generally, fissures will heal if you keep your stool soft and use creams your doctor can prescribe. If it doesn't heal, surgery might be required. While a fissure is most often caused by a large, hard stool tearing the delicate lining of your anus, anal fissures can also be caused by inserting objects into the anus. Some physicians feel the only way to repair this injury is to cut the sphincter, however, this is not necessary for most people who have had anal sex.
Q: Can douching help prevent HPV?
A: Douching doesn't really have a positive effect on the HPV and in fact may only worsen the problem.
Q: Why are anal screens not the normal standard of care?
A: There are many reasons why surgeons and other physicians are sometimes reluctant to do anal screenings. Currently, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) doesn't recommend the screening. As a result, many physicians are uninformed about the risk of anal cancer and the importance of screenings. Many don't typically perform rectal examinations; some are unfamiliar with how to do an anal Pap smear. This subject not only requires physicians to talk with patients about their butts, but it forces doctors to acknowledge and discuss anal sex and other common sex acts that are still highly stigmatized and, in many states, criminalized. Dr. Goldstone stressed that these limitations make it even more important for informed patients to advocate for themselves and get this screening done once a year.
He concluded with the take-home message of the evening that we all have a tremendous amount of control in our medical care. Getting regular check-ups is a must, as is getting Pap smears. If your doctor doesn't already do this with you, insist on getting it done annually. It is the first and most effective line of defense against anal cancer.

Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks opted to treat the team's voluntary OTAs as voluntary. Even though, as a practical matter, they aren't.
As a result, he'd been called out by coach Tom Coughlin, quarterback Eli Manning (sort of) and, in turn, by fans and media members who think Nicks should have been there.
But Nicks still hasn't supplied a clear explanation for his decision to stay away from the involuntary voluntary sessions. Via Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, Nicks again denied that the absence was related to his contract during an appearance on NFL Network.
It's a tomato-tomahto proposition. While Nicks didn't stay away in an effort to force the Giants to give him a new contract, he opted to reduce the number of times he'd be exposed to serious injury while he continues to bear the financial risks associated with tearing an ACL or popping an Achilles tendon in the final year of his rookie deal.
Nicks will likely never admit it, and he doesn't have to. It's obvious that Nicks chose protecting himself (and, in turn, his future earnings) over OTAs. It was the right decision.
And if the Giants wanted Nicks to be at OTAs, they should have worked out a long-term deal that would have shifted the injury risk from the player to the team.

April 21, 2012
Ever since 2010, when the Transportation Security Administration started requiring that travelers in American airports submit to sexually intrusive gropings based on the apparent anti-terrorism principle that "If we can't feel your nipples, they must be a bomb", the agency's craven apologists have shouted down all constitutional or human rightsobjections with the mantra "If you don't like it, don't fly!"
This callous disregard for travelers' rights merely paraphrases the words of Homeland Security director Janet Napolitano, who shares, with the president, ultimate responsibility for all TSA travesties since 2009. In November 2010, with the groping policy only a few weeks old,Napolitano dismissed complaints by saying "people [who] want to travel by some other means" have that right. (In other words: if you don't like it, don't fly.)
But now TSA is invading travel by other means, too. No surprise, really: as soon as she established groping in airports, Napolitano expressed her desire to expand TSA jurisdiction over all forms of mass transit. In the past year, TSA's snakelike VIPR (Visual Intermodal Prevention and Response) teams have been slithering into more and more bus and train stations – and even running checkpoints on highways – never in response to actual threats, but apparently more in an attempt to live up to the inspirational motto displayed at the TSA's air marshal training center since the agency's inception: "Dominate. Intimidate. Control."

Love of Nature
Nature is an inspiration for all of us and unfortunately, it is disappearing. Every child deserves to see animals in their natural habitat and have the chance to walk among trees and simply enjoy the sound of the stream going by.
Introducing Discovery Scouts to Nature
A park is a good place to go. Our Scouts can feed the ducks with bread crumbs, investigate moss growing on a tree, and watch the squirrels.
Sometimes the best way to enjoy nature is at your own pace.
Being out in nature is also good preparation for being a Rising Star Scout. As Rising Star Scouts, they will begin to go camping.
Families can also go camping with Scouts of this age. Outdoor camping in tents is a viable choice with parents. Car camping is also a good choice with small children.
Other Places to See Animals
A zoo is a place to see animals as well. Children are fascinated by seeing different kinds of animals, many of which cannot be seen outside their zoo habitats without traveling far and wide, such as lions and polar bears.
Children enjoy learning facts about their favorite animals, such as what they look like, what they eat, where they sleep, and how they live.
Usually there is information provided at zoos which will answer the Scouts' questions.
You can also tell parents and friends that you will be taking several Scouts to the zoo and youngsters who are not Scouts can accompany you and also enjoy themselves.
You can notify the zoo that a large group is coming and possibly they can arrange for a zoo keeper to spend time with the Scouts and provide a tour. It's possible the Scouts could even help feed certain kinds of animals.
An aquarium is also a good place to take the Scouts. Fish fascinate children. Crabs, sponges and other creatures are interesting, particularly the otter, which the Scouts can watch crack open their clams!
Furry animals like seals and fun loving animals like dolphins provide a sense of wonder. Some Scouts may be mature enough to view a shark.
Caring for the earth is the duty of all of us. Our Discovery Scouts learn early that they too can care for the earth by washing plastic flatware to use again, helping to collect recycling, and cleaning a campsite clean. They also learn what effect pollution has on their favorite animals.
Nature is something all children deserve to experience.

Does fashion reflect the culture, or does it sometimes shake it loose?
I bring this up because we were recently on a decadent vacation and somewhere between a tamarind smoothie and a full body massage, I picked up the latest issue of Vogue and flipped to a fashion spread entitled "Risky Business." And what did I find within those ten glossy pages? Shoulder pads. Lots and lots of shoulder pads.
The caption under one photo, a power chick dressed in a bold blue big-shouldered coat with the collar flipped up and with a take-no-prisoners look in her eye, reads:
In the eighties, padded shoulders were meant to make women look more mannish (read: powerful) in the boardroom. Today we wear a broad shoulder because we're comfortable (read: powerful) enough to dress creatively in the office, too.
I am old enough, and enough of an unrepentant fashionista, to remember the last time we bought into the broad-shouldered look. (I also have a number of blazers to prove it. My favorite: a bright yellow shawl-collared number that I wore with a prim white shirt buttoned up to my neck — paired with a black leather mini-skirt. What was I thinking? Clearly, I wasn't.)
Back then, when we women were trying mightily to find our niche in the workplace, many of us became men in skirts. The idea was to blend in, to refrain from calling attention to our feminine side, to be one of the boys. And part of that fitting in was our clothes: Big shoulders, prissy buttoned up shirts, and silly little bow ties. All of which became the uniform of the woman on the way up, a symbol of where we stood in the world of work.
And yet, we found, that wasn't right either. If what it took to be taken seriously was to be more like a man, well — couldn't men do that better? No matter how we camouflaged our femininity?
As we explored in Undecided, could in fact our differences be our strengths? We vote yes. As we penned a while back:
But what if we could tap into our authentic, feminine selves and do what we do best: Studies show, for example, that women negotiate in a win-win manner, we're interactive leaders, we're sensitive to subliminal cues; we're multithinkers, multitaskers, and are more comfortable with ambiguity. Not to say one gender is better than the other. Just different. Which brings up one of my favorite bon mots from Man Men, seasons past. The context may have been different, but you gotta love the line: "Don't be a man, be a woman. It's a powerful business when done correctly."
Which leads us back to Vogue and all those shoulder pads. To be sure, the shoulders are structured and broader than a wooden clothes hanger. But manly? Not even close.
And so I got to thinking — if indeed thinking is even possible after a full body massage — about what all this "risky business" might mean. What I think these chic chicks, with their wild ass hair and red slashes of video vixen lips, are telling us is this: whether we plan to copy the look or not, we've arrived.
Or at the very least, we're shouldering our way forward.

An affordable solar box style cooker can be constructed from transparent sheet plastic (polyethylene), some fibrous material, and four reasonably straight sticks (or possibly the plastic could be secured on top with small stones). The oven comprises a "nest" of fibrous material- in this case shredded coconut husk- about 200 mm high with a cooking cavity approximately 450 mm diameter and 150 mm deep.
Commonly available transparent sheet polyethylene was stapled to a 500 mm by 500 mm frame made from 40 mm by 20 mm battens (like a double-glazed window with an effective aperture of about 0.25 m2), which was placed over the cavity. The cooking vessel was a 200 mm square pressed steel pan 50 mm deep. A small sheet of the same plastic formed a lid to the pan to maximize direct solar gain to the pan and to minimize heat loss by evaporation/convection.
- Main article: Testing
A series of cooking tests were conducted on clear sunny days during March 2007 in Perth, Western Australia (Latitude 32° S) with maximum air temperatures of 25 - 32 °C (77 - 90 °F). A mass of water plus grain of 1 kg was placed in the pan, and placed in the cavity at 11am local solar time. In all cases satisfactory cooking was achieved before 15:00 local solar time. A dish of chicken and vegetables and a 1kg leg of lamb were also fully cooked.
The tests demonstrated that by using an aperture of 0.25 m2, practical cooking temperatures and times can be achieved with transparent sheet plastic without the need for complex reflectors to increase the effective aperture or glass to increase the heat trapping.
The "nest" eliminates the need for a box, and could be made from any locally available fibrous material, such as bark, grass, straw, cloth or sterilized animal manure. While the performance of the oven can be enhanced by being deeper, blackened and by using one or two sheets of glass, these tests demonstrated that satisfactory cooking can be achieved with as little as 50 cents (US) of sheet plastic in a wide range of circumstances temperatures and/or shorter cooking times) would always be desirable within cost constraints.
The test was standardized using an electronic probe thermometer immersed in 1 liter of water in the pressed steel pan used above. Temperature measurements were taken every 15 minutes. Temperatures of 105 - 120 °C (221 - 248 °F) were obtained in the cooker without the pan of water. The first enhancement was to place a black steel plate under the pan. As this showed a marked increase in performance, it was used for all further tests, which were: • Single glass sheet • Double glass sheet • Double Tedlar® plastic sheet The results for these tests are shown in Fig. 3. All glazings achieved the 80 °C (176 °F) cooking threshold within 3 hours, with the black metal plate making about 7 °C (45 °F) difference, which is an important increase at these temperatures. The single glazing, double glazing and double Tedlar® achieved the 80 °C (176 °F) threshold at least an hour earlier than the double plastic and achieved maximum temperatures of about 15 °C (59 °F) higher than double plastic. Tedlar® was chosen as it is durable at high temperatures and has low infrared transmissivity than polyethylene.
