With flowers, wide smiles and even a few tears, the Busy Bee Band & Honey Bees celebrated Senior Night Tuesday at East Fairmont High School.
The Bee basketball team, meanwhile, struggled to find the rhythm early, picked up the tempo, nearly forced an encore, but ended up falling just a little bit flat, as Grafton defeated East Fairmont to the tune of 58-54.
"I'm proud of our guys' effort," said East Fairmont coach Tyrone Asterino. "We got back in the game, but we came up short."
After trailing by as many as 11 points, the Bees (8-11) had the ball out of bounds with 25 seconds remaining, trailing by three.
They inbounded it to Brennon Vincent at the top of the key, but his 3-pointer was just off the mark. He scurried to grab the loose rebound and again put up a 3 that skipped off the rim.
Grafton (11-8) missed the front half of a 1-and-1, leaving the door open for the Bees. But the third time was not the charm for East Fairmont.
Junior guard Ryan Bower missed another 3-pointer and Grafton hit a foul shot to close out the game.
"We stuck around. We didn't put our heads down. We came back," said sophomore guard Nick Greely, who paced the Bees with 24 points and six rebounds.
"But we still would have liked to have won," he added.
The loss spoiled what was yet another solid performance from Greely. He has steadily shown improvement throughout the season and played with more confidence in the paint as a result.
"He's playing extremely well," Asterino said. "I think it's a maturation process. Stuff that was said over and over and over, I think it's sinking in. I think he's making better decisions on the floor and quicker plays on the floor."
Greely was joined in double figures by Vincent, who had 13. Myles Johnson cleaned up on the boards, pulling down nine rebounds to go along with his six points. Ronnie Mills scored seven points and Colton Toothman rounded it out with four.
While the Bees missed several 3-pointers that could have tied the game, the Bearcats built their early lead thanks in large part to the deep ball, with nine of their 19 field goals coming from beyond the arc.
"We have good shooters and we try to get a lot of open looks," said Grafton coach Andy Sorine. "When they're hitting, we're a really good team."
Junior guard Mitchel Crutchfield hit three of the Bearcats' 3-pointers to finish with 11 points. Sophomore guard Chris Smith added another 3-pointer to the tally on his way to scoring 11. Even Grafton's big man and leading scorer Skylar Rucker nailed a 3-pointer from well beyond the arc. He finished with 18 points.
The Bees will close out the season Thursday when they host Webster County. They will then square off with North Marion in the Region I, Section I playoffs.

Highland UCC Tutoring Program
Highland UCC Tutoring program was begun with a grant from the UCC Home Ministries Board in 1993. Under this program, we partner with Highland United Church of Christ in NE Portland to provide tutoring support for young people from the congregation and surrounding neighborhood. This also gives Pacific students an opportunity to learn about the life and culture of the Highland congregation and students. A team of Pacific student tutors goes twice each week to work with Highland students.
Tutors commit to at least a full semester (preferably a full academic year) with the program. They assist students ranging from elementary through high school with homework and devise exercises and games that practice basic academic skills. They serve as role models and mentors to the students, encouraging their life goals and discussing problems.

Folks looking to get out and about in Tahlequah on Dec. 31 to mark the end of 2012 have several options that will include spirits, dancing and live music.
Advance tickets for a block party being held in the North End District at The Iguana Cafee and The Branch are currently on sale at either venue for $10. The New Year's Eve live-music event will present The Purpletraders in an acoustic show starting at 9:30 p.m. at the Iguana Cafee, while the wristband ticket will allow patrons to cross the street in time to hear Randy Crouch & Flying Horse for a 10:30 show at The Branch. The price of admission also includes a taste of midnight bubbly, said local musician and event coordinator Joe Mack.
"Wherever you happen to be standing at midnight, you'll be able to take part in a champagne toast," he said. "There are plenty of tickets left, and folks can prepay this week at the Iguana Cafee or The Branch for $10 in advance, and tickets will be $10 at the door, too."
Interested parties are urged to get their tickets as soon as possible "because it's going to be a first-come, first-served thing."
"There's only so many people we can have in each venue," said Mack.
Pat Moss and The Big Band with Juke Joint Angels singing back-up will be helping patrons welcome in 2013 with a 9 p.m. show at the former Pepsi-Cola Company now known as Brewdog's, which is located west of Tahlequah on Bryant Road off of Highway 51. There is a $6 cover charge at the door.
Livin' Country will perform at the Tahlequah Elks Lodge, which is located on the corner of Park Hill and Murrell Road, for those looking to celebrate the end of the year with a few dance steps. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m., while the music will begin around 9. Tickets for this event are selling for $15 for a singles, while couples will get in for $25. There will be a champagne toast, and a "good luck" breakfast will also be served to ring in the new year.
The Tahlequah Senior Citizens Center, 230 E. First St., will also be hosting a New Year's Eve event that will be held from 8 p.m. to midnight. Carl Farinelli and the Hole in the Wall Band will be providing the music, while those in attendance will enjoy a 9 p.m. dinner that will include traditional items like black-eyed peas, fried chicken and various desserts.
Folks planning to stay in can light the sky up when the clock strikes 12, as fireworks may be in order to denote the end of 2012. The pyrotechnic-display items have been on sale since Dec. 15, said fireworks stand worker Page Carnes. Customers have been grabbing stuff that will be satisfy everyone in the group.
"They buy a lot of family packs, but we have a bunch of big finales and confetti poppers that people like, too," said Page Carnes. "They like the Firefly [aerial firework]. We have a buy one, get one free [deal] on our family packs, and those seem to sell really good."
The artillery shells have been leaving the shelf, as well, said Carnes' younger sister, Tye.

Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook underwent successful surgery Saturday to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee in Vail, Colo. at the Steadman Clinic.
However, the all-star guard's season has come to an end, according to Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti.
"Although we are of course disappointed that Russell will be unable to return to the floor with his teammates this season, the opportunity to repair the meniscus as opposed to remove it was the best possible scenario for Russell's long term health as a player and person," Presti said. "Russell's health and well being are obviously our number one priority through this process and today's procedure helped solidify our belief that Russell will have many productive years of basketball in his future."
Presti says Westbrook's meniscus was repaired rather than removed, which means it's able to remain fully intact. But that takes away any chances of a quick turnaround as in past cases such as Metta World Peace when he returned in 13 days from same injury.
"It was the best possible situation walking into the procedure," Presti said. "When you take the pragmatic perspective, and understand what's really, truly important in this situation, you have to be really satisfied with the results of the surgery today."
Westbrook suffered the injury Wednesday in the second quarter of Game 2 of the First Round of the Western Conference Playoffs.
More than likely it took place in the second quarter when Westbrook was dribbling across mid-court toward the Oklahoma City bench with the intentions of calling a time-out. Normally players allow this to happen without much interference. This time Houston rookie Patrick Beverley lunged in front of Westbrook to go for a quick steal, causing the two to seemingly bang knees.
Westbrook dropped to the ground in pain and anger. He popped up and limped around before slamming the scorer's table. Westbrook ended up finishing the game and scoring 29 points in the 105-102 victory. That will be the final game for him in the 2012-13 season.
The three-time NBA All-Star averaged 23.2 points (6th in NBA), 7.4 assists (7th), a career-high 5.2 rebounds and 1.77 steals (9th) in 82 games this past season.
"As far as a time frame for when he will return to the floor, he is actually starting his rehabilitation today," Presti said. "As we get deeper into the process, we will be able to prove a more accurate timetable as to when he will be back on the floor. We are very confident in Russell's ability to do well in this rehab. We know he will be back on the floor relatively soon."
The Thunder face the Rockets in Game 3 tonight leading the best of seven series 2-0. Even without Westbrook, Presti is confident in his team.
"I don't think we are having to rally in any sense," Presti said. "I think the mentality of the group is in place. It's part of who we are. "It's not about one person or one game. But it never is with us. It's always going to be about the collective, about the process of coming together and adjusting. This is one of the reasons we seek out high-character individuals as players for our team because these are the type of adversities that exist in pro sports."
Police investigate threat against Beverley
HOUSTON — Police are investigating after a ball boy for the Oklahoma City Thunder tweeted death threats to Houston Rockets guard Patrick Beverley.
Thunder All-Star Russell Westbrook was hurt when Beverley tried for a steal in the second quarter of Game 2 and ran into his knee. Westbrook had knee surgery Saturday and is out for the season.
The tweets were deleted as of Saturday night, but the Houston Chronicle says a tweet from the handle (at)MitchellBrwn said: "Patrick Beverly (sic), I'm coming to kill you."
He later sent another one with Beverley's Twitter name, saying: "(at)pavbev21 I'm coming to kill you."
He later apologized in one tweet and then said he was hacked in another post.
Oklahoma City police Captain Dexter Nelson tells The Associated Press that their department is working with the Houston police and the NBA to investigate the threats.
The Thunder says in a statement that they "do not condone his comments. He works game nights on a voluntary basis and the matter will be handled internally."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

TAHLEQUAH — State Rep. Mike Brown, D-Tahlequah, took office for the first time in 2004, and he says the projected budget for the coming year looks much like it did nearly a decade ago.
As legislators returned to work Monday, Brown is concerned that funding for education and infrastructure may be affected.
"We're just about back to a $7 billion budget. The problem is, the governor says that we're going to have a flat budget," he said. "Whenever I was first elected, we actually gave teachers a $3,000 pay raise the first year. The second year we came back and actually gave them another $1,200 pay raise. We spent about $50 million extra on infrastructure needs — roads, bridges and transportation."
Brown said that during his early years as a lawmaker, access to mental health care was expanded, as were services in other agencies.
"In the past eight years, though, it's been total cuts in each one of these agencies, including education. Education is probably taking one of the biggest cuts. Now we're back to the point that we can actually start filling those gaps once again, yet we're at a flat budget. The electorate needs to be asking why."
Brown said the legislative leadership has burdened the state through its tax credits and cuts.
"We all enjoy a tax cut," he said. "I think I enjoyed a $40 tax rebate the first or second year I was there.
"The second year, I think, we got a $20 tax cut or something like that, but education received about $200 million in cuts because of that."
Brown said local mental health services are coming under fire, too.
"They're fixing to shut down another one of my programs out at Lake Tenkiller, and it's not that there's not money for it," he said. "We've had a problem with one person who doesn't want that type of program in her neighborhood. So it's going to cost about 43 jobs and half a million dollars in payroll to leave this area. These are just a few of the things that go on at the Capitol."
Brown indicated that House members submitted fewer bills this session.
"I think there were roughly 1,900 bills filed this year," he said. "There are 19 or 20 bills dealing with carrying firearms and whether we allow school officials to carry firearms, but we're not worried about funding for teacher preparedness or some of the other areas like reading sufficiency. We're not going to be talking about funding for those."
Brown anticipates that legislators will spend another session seeking reforms in areas such as workers' compensation and/or health care. He said he reviewed newspaper clippings from the past 10 years and noticed there was a reform theme at every legislative session.
Brown noted the Legislature has about a 3.2 percent higher income this year than what it was projected to be, but he said the challenge will be in keeping the hands out of the pot.
"We've become pretty good at transferring those funds out of the rainy day fund and special funds for use in this year's budget, which we're not supposed to do," he said. "We should be able to get through this year, but as I said, the governor is going to come out with a flat budget."

February 9, 1983 – An apartment manager joined the canneries in speaking out against the proposed Petersburg water rate changes at Monday night's council meeting.
The city council also had many questions about the proposed water rate changes, and will hold a work session about the proposed water rate ordinance.
An Ordinance revising the rates was approved by council in it's first reading, despite the questions that were raised.
Frances Hubbard, manager of the Sanitary Apartments, spoke at the public hearing against charging individual users a minimum charge of $13. She said she will be paying the charge for seven apartments, Archie's and Irene's Restaurant. Currently, there is no minimum charge for individual apartments.
She said if there is going to be individual charges, there should be individual meters.
February 18, 1993 – State Engineers are expected to be in town next Wednesday to check out the mystery of the rough runway at the Petersburg Airport.
Preliminary engineering costs are expected to be about $320,000, according to Andy Hughes of the planning division of the state Department of Transportation and Public Facilities in Juneau.
No one is sure why there seems to be rough rumples in the tarmac one day, and the next day the disappear, Hughes said. The engineering study, which may take a year, should clear up the mystery.
February 6, 2003 – City councilors voted 5 – 1 Monday evening to earmark $105,000 from the Harbor Trust Fund for the construction of a harbor and fire utility boat.
The last cost estimate received for the boat showed a figure of around $93,000, but councilor Paul Anderson said repeatedly that he believed the boat would cost more, and the money appropriated was pushed up.
Councilors have been debating whether to fund the project from South Harbor expansion funds.
Councilor Marc Martinsen voted against the funding; he is unhappy with the boats design and motor type. "What I've seen so far is not a fireboat," he said before casting his vote.

Question: Do you remember your first night on Broadway—how that felt or whether it lived up to what you expected Broadway to be like?
Question: Did you get to go on much for Donna?
Question: What was it like getting to play the part because that's such an emotionally draining role?
18 Jan 2013
Photo by Joan Marcus
Balgord: Well, it was wonderful. You know, that show was quite controversial, the reactions… It was really interesting to be a part of that process and not be on the front line. [Laughs.] I guess is how I'd put it… Boy, that was hard. It was really hard on everybody, but I was not so much in the front of it. I definitely remember being terrified for my audition for the show. [Laughs.] I definitely remember that! You know, of course, it was what I'd been hoping would happen for many years, so it was thrilling—thrilling to be doing my first Broadway show.
Balgord: I think we ran about nine months, and I went on 18 times. I still remember that because I guess it's like when you're in high school and you count how many lines you have. I don't know! [Laughs.] But, I was so lucky. I did get to go on, and the first time I went on, it was planned. Donna had a family obligation, so I had a full put-in, and I had great preparation. I was not thrown on, which was a blessing. And, she took a vacation, too, so yeah, I did get to do the role.
Balgord: Yeah, it is. It's extremely dark, but it's a wonderful role and such an enigma of a woman. I really liked playing it. I really did. If you can enjoy something like that… But it was such a great challenge, and Mr. Lapine was really terrific in knowing that I wasn't going to be Donna Murphy—that I couldn't be Donna Murphy—and giving me the room to do it certainly within the structure that was set, but not expecting me to do what Donna was doing. It was a great experience.
Balgord: Well, I had an involvement with it before I ended up getting cast. I think it was shortly after Aspects has closed, and I had auditioned to be Glenn Close's standby for the L.A. company. And, right after my audition, Andrew flew me over to England to sing at Whitehall Palace. Rupert Murdoch was launching his Sky satellite television channel, and Andrew was providing the entertainment, so there were four singers from his shows—Kevin Anderson sang from Sunset, the gentleman who was playing Phantom sang, the woman playing Cats in London sang. And, I flew over there, and I hadn't been offered anything, but I was introduced as the woman who would soon be playing Norma Desmond "somewhere in the world." [Laughs.] And, so I sang that, but I did not get the standby position, and I was told [that] Trevor thought that I was too young.
Question: Do you remember your first night on Broadway—how that felt or whether it lived up to what you expected Broadway to be like?
Question: Did you get to go on much for Donna?
Question: What was it like getting to play the part because that's such an emotionally draining role?
Question: It must've been surprising that you didn't get it, especially since they flew you over…
Balgord: I was disappointed, of course, because I thought I was going to get this amazing gig, and then I didn't. And, I thought I was young, too, but actors—you play parts, you play roles. Then, when the tour came up, I went in again, and I, of course, was told, "They're looking at names…" But it came my way at that time, which was amazing, and daunting! [Laughs.]
Question: I think you were the only one, other than Patti, to sing in the original keys, right?
Balgord: I remember when I went into my audition, I had the music in the original keys, which I had sung for Andrew in London, and I was told, "Oh, the songs aren't being performed in those keys." [Laughs.] And, I said, "Well, please would you let me sing it in this key? This is the key that I'm familiar with it in. It changes a lot of…" Even when I was cast, it wasn't certain that I was going to be able to perform them in those keys, but that is what ended up happening.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Imagine a child suffering from bone cancer in the leg. Now imagine doctors removing the diseased portion and attaching the two healthy sections, effectively turning the ankle into the knee.
It's called Rotationplasty, and one Austin teen is helping put a face on the remarkable procedure.
Like a lot of 14-year-old girls, Zoe Croman likes horses.
"I love horseback riding," she said.
Zoe's time in the saddle had to take a back seat about a year ago when she couldn't shake intense pain in her right leg. Her doctor gave her the life changing news.
"He said, 'I really hate to tell you this and I hate my job, because I'm the one who has to tell you it is cancer,'" she said.
Zoe has osteosarcoma, one of the most common bone cancers in children.
"Hers was in the bottom half of the thigh above the knee," said Ron Williams, M.D., an orthopedic oncologist with Texas Oncology.
Williams is Zoe's orthopedic oncologist. He told her family they had three options, a full amputation at the hip, a limb salvage amputation just above the knee that may require numerous surgeries for the rest of her life or the oddest and least known procedure: Rotationplasty.
That's where the cancerous portion of the knee or thigh is removed, and the healthy lower part of the leg is rotated and attached to the remaining leg or thigh. What had been the ankle became a knee joint. Williams, the only surgeon in Austin to perform the procedure, said Rotationplasty was Zoe's best option.
"As the doctor said, 'If you can get your wits around it it's a good option for her,'" said Stephanie Croman, Zoe's mother. "I thought that was well put."
"It's kind of nerve wracking to say, 'Yes you can talk off my leg, turn it around backwards and stick it back on,'" said Zoe.
Williams said the procedure not only affords Zoe the dexterity she would not have gotten with an above the hip amputation, but it also limits the amount of energy she needs to just get around.
"The amount of work it would take just to walk across the room for an amputation at the hip joint would be similar to someone running a sprint," said Williams.
That's energy Zoe would prefer spending at SunCrest Farm in Manor riding her horses. She and her family said they have no regrets about opting for Rotationplasty.
"We have zero doubt it was absolutely the right option for her," said Stephanie.
"Are you really going after an image of what you want your child to look like, or are you going after what they'll be able to do and accomplish with their lives?" said Russell Croman, Zoe's father.
"It's so phenomenal and wonderful," said Zoe. "I'm really glad I chose this."
Zoe said she understands why she gets strange looks and stares.
"I think that it's OK that they're curious, because it's unusual," she said. "It's not something you see every day. I like to think about it as kind of inspiring."
Doctors said Zoe's strength and endurance will improve dramatically once she completes her chemotherapy in January, just in time for Zoe's birthday. She said completing her chemo will be the best present she can get.
In addition to Dr. Williams and Texas Oncology, several other medical professionals play a role in performing the Rotationplasty procedure here in Central Texas.
Dr. Robert Whitfield of the Breast and Body Center of Austin is the plastic surgeon who performed the vascular reconstruction.
Dell Children's Medical Center created the infrastructure to allow this kind of complex problem to be handled in Austin. A big part of the cancer management is the pediatric oncologists at Dell who do the chemotherapy.
The Dell 4N Nursing Service are the specialists who work with Zoe during her chemotherapy. Then there's the pathologists, radiologists and prosthesis who play a behind the scenes, but major role as well.

Reportstack's new report on Glioblastoma Multiforme Therapeutics in Major Developed Markets to 2019 forecasts that DCVax-L Vaccine Launch to Boost Glioblastoma Multiforme Market Value to $623 Million by 2020
United States (PRWEB) July 08, 2014
The Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) treatment market is forecast to grow rapidly from $301 million in 2013 to $623 million by 2020, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. Reportstack's latest report on Glioblastoma Multiforme Therapeutics in Major Developed Markets to 2019 states that this significant growth comes despite the patent expiration of Temodar (temozolomide) and will be driven primarily by the market entry of the DCVax-L vaccine. This follows clinical trials showing that DCVax-L produces an Overall Survival (OS) of around 2.3 times longer than the current standard of care for newly diagnosed patients.
Angel Wong, Analyst for GBI Research, says: The current standard treatment of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, in combination with Temodar, has an OS of less than 15 months. As DCVax-L has been shown to extend OS substantially, the vaccine will demand a premium price once it hits the market. The study expects DCVax-L, which has recently received early approval in Germany, to be approved in the US and EU in 2015 and 2016, respectively, ahead of less efficacious treatments Cotara and Rindopepimut (CDX-110), which will enter the global GBM treatment market in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
DCVax-L has the added advantage of facing few other active competitors in the current GBM therapeutics market, the investment in which is regarded as high-risk. Wong explains: Clinical trials for new GBM treatments are extremely time consuming and have a high attrition rate. There are limitations in drug delivery techniques and the disease has low prevalence rates, making trial recruitment difficult. As a consequence, drug development is very costly. However, there remains a significant demand for therapies that show high potency against chemotherapy-resistant tumors, due to the limited OS benefits provided by current treatments.

From Staff reports
JOPLIN, Mo. — The Northeastern State baseball team opened the first round of the 2013 MIAA Baseball Championship with a 4-2 win over Missouri Southern Saturday evening at Joe Becker Stadium.
The RiverHawks (28-21) and Lions (29-19) are now set for a doubleheader Sunday that is scheduled to begin at noon. NSU has to win one of those two contests to take the best-of-three-game series and advance to the MIAA Championship finals May 9-11 at Community America Ballpark in Kansas City, Kan.
NSU sophomore Kyle Shambaugh (4-2) threw a gem Saturday, allowing just two runs on five hits in 7 2/3 innings. He struck out four and did not concede a walk in the winning effort. Senior Trevor Walch sat down the last four batters to earn his MIAA-leading 10th save of the season. He is also now tied for ninth in the NCAA in saves this year.
Missouri Southern opened the scoring in the bottom of the third when Nick Doughty led off the frame with a solo home run.
NSU then took the lead in the top of the fifth, when three seniors combined to plate two runs. Chad Davidson reached on an error and Greg Jackson singled, and they were both brought home on a double from Trent Wilkins.
NSU junior Cody Robinson hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth to score a crucial insurance run in Wilkins. Dallas Burke scored in the bottom of the eighth to bring the score to 3-2, but sophomore Preston Cash added a fourth run for NSU in the top of the ninth and Walch shut the door on the Lions in the final frame.
Northeastern State outhit MSSU 7-6, led by two from both Wilkins and Cash. Wilkins drove home two and four different RiverHawks scored.
Brett Abell (4-3) threw 8 1/3 innings for the Lions, and he allowed four runs (one earned) on six hits. He struck out six and walked just one in the losing effort. David Reese recorded the final two outs for the home side.
NSU softball wins then has season end at MIAA Championship
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The Northeastern State softball team saw its season come to a close Saturday evening at the 2013 MIAA Softball Championship at the Blue Valley Recreation Complex.
The RiverHawks (27-24), seeded No. 5 in the tournament, ended the season of No. 8 Northwest Missouri State (27-19) with a 9-2 win in the first round of the loser's bracket, but No. 3 Missouri Western State (38-15) defeated NSU 7-4 in the next round.
Northeastern State was making its first trip to a postseason tournament since 2007, when the school was a member of the Lone Star Conference.
NSU 9, Northwest Missouri State 2
Northeastern State eliminated the Bearcats from competition, but it took production late in the contest to take down the eighth-seeded Bearcats.
NWMSU scored first in the bottom of the third, when Rachael Schmitz was driven home by a bases loaded hit by pitch. Stephanie Price popped up to junior second baseman Megan Robison on the next at-bat to end the threat.
The RiverHawks took over the rest of the game, scoring nine runs over the course of the next two frames to cruise to victory.
Senior Cayce Coleman (9-7) tossed a complete game to pick up the victory in the circle. She only allowed two runs (one earned) despite giving up eight hits in 7 innings.
Every NSU batter had at least one hit, with Coleman driving home two and scoring once to help her cause. Senior Lisa Ripperger and junior Allyson Pogue both went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Senior Laquieta Drew and freshman Saharra Henson also scored twice.
Jordan Ereth and Madison Jones both had two hits to pace the Bearcats. Northeastern State outhit NWMSU 15-8.
Jenna Creger (13-11) threw the first four innings in the circle, but she allowed six runs on eight hits and was relieved by Abbie Vitosh. Vitosh gave up three runs on seven hits over the final three frames.
Missouri Western 7, NSU 4
The two squads battled to a scoreless draw in a rapid first three innings, but the game slowed to a snail's pace in the final four frames as the bats heated up.
Missouri Western scored four runs in the top of the fourth, and Northeastern State countered with three in the bottom of the frame. The Griffons added two insurance tallies in the fifth and a final marker in the seventh. NSU could only respond with a lone run in the bottom of the seventh in the losing effort.
MWSU outhit NSU 12-7. Pogue led the RiverHawks with two hits. Henson posted two RBI, and NSU's four runs came from four different batters. One of those came from Robison, who hit a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh.
Freshman Kayce Wooldridge (10-13) threw the first four innings and allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits before being relieved by Coleman. The senior tossed the final three frames and gave up two runs on six hits.
Janie Smith (17-6) conceded four runs on seven hits in a complete-game effort for the Griffons. Kendall Sorenson led MWSU with a 3-for-4 day at the plate. She also drove home three and scored once.

LOS ANGELES – Steve Alford was hired as UCLA basketball coach Saturday, spurning New Mexico days after he agreed to a new 10-year deal with the Lobos for a chance to run what he called "the premier basketball program in the country."
The Bruins are bringing in someone who shares the same Indiana roots as John Wooden, who led UCLA to a record 10 national championships, including seven in a row, before retiring in 1975. Alford learned about Wooden as a first-grader in Martinsville, Ind., where his father, Sam, coached the high school basketball team at Wooden's alma mater.
"Ever since then, there was a draw to find out more about him," Alford said on a teleconference. "I know my first steps into Pauley I will really feel that."Alford agreed to a seven-year deal worth $18.2 million, with a yearly salary of $2.6 million and a $200,000 signing bonus, according to UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero. Alford will be introduced in Westwood on Tuesday.
"This is truly a leap of faith," he said.
Guerrero said UCLA reached out to Alford first, not knowing whether he would be interested in the Bruins. Once he confirmed he was, the details were finalized early Saturday, Guerrero said.
"It was not an easy decision because I was extremely happy," Alford said. "I was about as happy as I can be.
"When I kept thinking about things, it still came back to UCLA. You're talking about the premier basketball program in the country. To have an opportunity like this, they don't come around every day."
Guerrero said Alford is "the perfect fit for UCLA" because he connects with a new generation of players and brings an up-tempo and team-oriented style of play to Westwood.
"He's ready for this stage," Guerrero said.
Alford's deal with New Mexico, scheduled to take effect Monday, was worth more than $20 million over 10 years. Guerrero said Alford is responsible for a buyout of his agreement in Albuquerque, but that UCLA would work out the details. Both Alford and New Mexico athletic director Paul Krebs said they didn't know how much the buyout was worth. Alford, who is 48, succeeds Ben Howland, who was fired last weekend after 10 years and a 233-107 record that included three consecutive Final Four appearances and four Pac-12 titles. The Bruins were 25-10 this season, which ended with a 20-point loss to Minnesota in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Alford led New Mexico to a 29-6 record this season that included the Mountain West regular-season and tournament titles. But the Lobos were upset by Harvard in the second round of the NCAAs shortly after Alford's new contract had been announced.
Alford had a 155-52 record in six years at New Mexico, with the Lobos making three trips to the NCAA Tournament. He was selected Mountain West Coach of the Year three times.
"I'm about building programs, not teams, not seasons," Alford said. "UCLA doesn't just want one winning season; UCLA wants a basketball program that is going to breed consistent excellence.
"I've always tried to do things with excellence. When you think of UCLA in every regard, you see the word excellence."
Expectations always have been high in Westwood since Wooden's era. The Bruins own a record 11 national championships but have won just one – in 1995 under Jim Harrick – since Wooden retired.
"Nobody understands pressure any more than I do. I've been under pressure since I was 16," said Alford, whose high school gym in New Castle, Ind., seats 10,000 and frequently sold out when he was there. "You're not going to find anybody more competitive than I am."
Guerrero said "he's not the kind of guy that will shy away from what UCLA basketball is all about."The Lobos didn't just lose Alford, they also won't have his son, Bryce, on their roster next season. Alford said his highly touted son would follow him to Westwood, continuing a tradition that Alford first established when he played under his father at New Castle Chrysler High.Krebs said it was clear when he talked to Alford on Saturday morning that his mind was made up, and although he's disappointed, he said he respected the decision.Krebs said it was like a "bomb dropped in the room" when Alford told his players he was leaving."This is a very emotional time," Krebs said. "There is no good way to break the news to the young men in the program. ... There's a lot of raw emotion right now."Alford said "that's not easy to look those young men in the face, but I think they understand. The reason they understand is it's UCLA. If it was anywhere else, this is not a decision that would have been made."
"Nobody would say no to UCLA," Lobos center Alex Kirk said. "That's crazy."Well, nobody except for Brad Stevens at Butler and Shaka Smart at Virginia Commonwealth, both of whom reportedly turned down UCLA to remain as at their programs.Guerrero said he wanted a coach who would help boost season ticket sales. The Bruins had just a few sellouts at newly renovated Pauley Pavilion this season.
"I think the UCLA family will embrace him. I think he'll be able to hit on all cylinders," Guerrero said. "He'll be able to energize the fan base in so many ways. Look at New Mexico, they get 15,000 a game. It's madness there."
Alford is known for his up-tempo coaching style, which should suit Bruins fans turned off by Howland's grind-it-out defensive emphasis.
"We do like to score points; we like transition; we like to get up and down the floor," he said.
Alford also noted defense wins championships.
"Ultimately, it's about the product – are they good young men of character and integrity?"
Alford called recruiting in fertile Southern California "of the utmost importance." He had players from the region on his UNM roster, including Kendall Williams, who became Mountain West Player of the Year."I will hit the ground running," said Alford, who pointed out the respect he has for high school coaches was formed through his father.Alford's other head coaching stints were at Iowa (2000-07), Missouri State (1996-99) and Manchester College (1992-95) in Indiana.

I swore I wasn't going to comment on the Lance Armstrong doping situation but I just finished watched his three-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey and I have strong feelings I'd like to share.
Clearly, Armstrong is just beginning to process his psychological response to the collapse of his world and barely able to reflect on the events, his feelings, or his future. He was immune to Oprah's excellent probing style because (I'm guessing) he is basically a man of "action" rather than "reflection."
As he stated in the interview many times, he wants to "fix" the problem and it sure seems that "the problem" was "getting caught" not his own need to consciously cheat and lie.
But, rather than attack Lance Armstrong (he is exactly where he should be after a career of doping and lying and now coming "clean"), I just want to express my disappointment in Oprah for even running this interview for 3 hours.
She could have more profitably interviewed Armstrong for an hour and spent the rest of the time talking to other athletes that have had their careers lost over cheating and had time to process that experience. There are so many candidates for such a focus.
It's also important that we look at the wider picture with regard to doping in sports.
It isn't by accident that so many of our hero-athletes tend to have chemically-induced clay feet. Or that so many elected officials are caught in a web of lies.
Perhaps it is time to have Oprah address the larger question of why we as a society need to have stronger-than-human gladiators to entertain us and then are aghast that they engage in doping practices.
At least this is my feeling on a late January afternoon here in Central NJ, USA.
I'm curious what everyone else is thinking about this issue.

Insights and ideas for technology leaders.
Guest post written by Roberto Medrano
Roberto Medrano is executive VP of SOA Software.
Think back to the 1990s. It was a disruptive time for traditional business models, beginning with the rush for a Web presence, followed by the shift from bricks and mortar to so-called "clicks and mortar." Today, application programming interfaces – commonly known as APIs – are the new must-have for business, representing the future of customer and community engagement with far broader implications than traditional Web-based business models.
APIs used to be a technical implementation detail reserved for developers and architects. Most executives could hardly spell A-P-I, let alone understand their purpose for programmatic access to software-based products.
But that's quickly changing, as APIs become a primary customer interface for technology-driven products and services and a key channel for driving revenue and brand engagement.
Social everything, mobile everywhere
What's changed? You can thank social networking, social commerce, social content and their patron saints Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Amazon and eBay, among others; and, in no smaller measure, a vibrant, viral (some may say virulent) generational culture of simple, clever and targeted end-user applications driven by Apple, Android and the rise of the app economy. Mobile devices are our new appendage and apps are the currency of trade.
This confluence of factors has created a perfect storm of sorts where a vast constellation of applications meets a massive network of end-users. At the center is an explosive opportunity to find and mine new customers and communities that companies can tap into by way of APIs.
Standing on the shoulders of visionaries
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is known for his uncanny ability to see around corners and to identify patterns before the rest of us. That visionary insight led him to famously mandate that all IT assets were to be exposed as APIs. That single, simple declaration created an IT (and cultural) architecture that catalyzed and stoked the stunning growth of Amazon Web Services, which is thought to be a billion-dollar business unit after only a few short years of growth.
Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that, today, Salesforce.com generates more than half of its $2.3 billion in revenue through its APIs, not its user interfaces. Twitter is said to process 13 billion transactions a day through its APIs. Google is around 5 billion transactions a day. For it's part, Amazon is rapidly closing in on a trillion transactions. Not bad for an online bookseller.
A couple of the early movers in this space are, 99Presents & Shopycat. Well, Shopycat is not using API, they are using their own database while 99Presents is using APIs from other sites, like Amazon, ebay etc. I want to see how these companies grow.
For the big players (Google, Salesforce, Twitter), you simply launch an API and everyone starts playing with it. For everyone else, the challenge is making sure you have a compelling value proposition and raising awareness with developers. Given how much developers hate marketing, you have to take a completely different approach.
But to really make an API work, either internally or externally, you need to really create an API economy in which the owner of the asset being exposed, the publisher of the API, developers, and users of the apps all get substantial benefit.
For an end-to-end tour of these questions, see my book: APIs: A Strategy Guide
For more about developer marketing please see:
Do you have any examples of public APIs of "traditional" companies that are successful?
Here is an additional complementary insight on the API Economy written by Steve Willmott the CEO of 3scale – A leading API Management solution provider – earlier in August 2012: http://pandodaily.com/2012/08/07/why-the-app-economy-isnt-the-app-economy-but-the-api-economy/
do you know any free web search APIs? any examples?
APIs make money for platforms by encouraging app growth. They are an excellent way for developers to showcase their abilities in a specialized niche: http://goo.gl/kNUell

Contract 1361, no Ferguson cancelled. Amendment #4 held by mayor till Ferguson paid. 2014, DLZ decertified because they don't have Ferguson. Baby Creek, Walbridge with Ferguson, get contract. Kado owed money by city, held until Bernard paid. Extortion illegal and all these defendants guilty of that. Want to talk about count 1, the RICO conspiracy. Conspiracy is an agreement between 2 people to commit a crime. For RICO, need an enterprise, on-going association of people.
Text from Bernard to Kwame "Just met with Bobby Ferguson. The 3 of us need to meet at least twice a month for awhile."
Derrick Miller testified that he attended these meetings. For RICO, 2 of these types of crimes would have to be agreed to commit. Don't have to actually be committed, just agree to do them.
One key fact, ask yourself if Kwame was not in a conspiracy with Bobby and Bernard could they have extorted a single person. Would Lakeshore have paid $850,000? Would Rosendall have paid $300 in cash in December 2007? No. Bullotta thanks Jury. Talks about former budget director of the state, Mary Lanoy, Thomas asked her about her power as director of budget.
She thought about it and said, "I had a lot of responsibility." Kwame wanted money and power and was not interested in responsibility. He wanted opportunity.
Corruption that took us almost five months to show you. Kwame thought he was somehow above the law. With your verdict, you can show nobody is above the law. Now I ask you to find them guilty of every single count in this indictment.
2:18PM Judge dismisses jury and we'll be back with defense closing tomorrow.

The Saints will enter the playoffs without one of their starting defensive ends.
Charles Grant, who had 5½ sacks this season, has been placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery to repair a torn triceps, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He apparently sustained the injury in the second quarter of New Orleans' Week 17 loss to Carolina and suffered a similar injury last season, which kept him out of the final eight games of the year.
The Saints re-signed veteran Paul Spicer to add depth to the defensive line. Spicer spent the offseason with New Orleans, but he was released after the preseason.

The Department of Security maintains a communications office, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, located in the basement of the Medical Center in room B-404. The general office and administrative section of the department is located on the campus at 24690 University Avenue (on the Northwest corner of Campus and University), and is open Monday through Thursday between 0730 and 1800 hours, and on Friday between 0730 and 1400 hours.
The Department of Security patrols all LLUAHSC property. Patrols are conducted by officers in uniform in marked patrol units and from time-to-time by officers on foot. The patrols are supplemented by closed-circuit television cameras strategically located throughout the Medical Center and in some campus areas. Patrols of the facilities are conducted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Department of Security currently maintains both security officers and K-9 teams to assist with many service functions of the department, as well as the prevention of crime through patrols and preventive techniques. They also enforce laws and make arrests when a situation calls for such action.
Additional Services Provided:
Car Problems
The Security Department is available to assist you with such problems as: vehicle jump-starts, keys locked in the car, and lost cars. When possible, lift the hood and stand by your vehicle. Security personnel will respond and assist you as soon as possible.
Medical Assistance
Emergency requests for medical treatment and ambulance services should be directed to the Security Department, using the emergency number 911. The department will provide basic response and will contact the appropriate Emergency Medical System (EMS) for you.
Escort service is available during dark hours, seven days a week for all female members of the Medical Center/University community. If you need an escort, call the Security Department and give your name, location, and destination. A security officer will be glad to meet you and walk or drive you to your car or other campus destination. Due to the officer's varying responsibilities, a wait may be necessary before an officer arrives for your escort.
Locksmith Service
The university's campus engineering service lock and key department provides locksmith services including lock core changes, door hardware problems, or any other repair services of locks and doors, to offices and buildings owned by the Medical Center and the University. They also issue keys for all buildings except LLUMC and LLUCH. Medical Center and Children's Hospital keys can be obtained from the Security Control Center. Keys are only issued to authorized persons with proper identification after receiving a completed key request form.
Automobile Accident Reports
If you or someone you know is involved in an automobile accident on campus, call the Security Department immediately. The Department of Security will take an accident report which may be used for insurance purposes. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department will not take an accident report on Medical Center/University property unless there are injuries involved.
If there are injuries involved, the department of security will contact the appropriate rescue and Emergency Medical Support (EMS) agency. You can contact the department of security via any of the campus emergency phones or on any campus phone located throughout campus. Indicate the parking lot you are in, whether there are any injuries, and the make and color of the vehicles involved.
Personal Injury Reports
If you or someone you know is ill or injured on LLUAHSC University or Medical Center property, contact the department of security via any of the campus emergency phones or any campus phone. An officer will be dispatched and the appropriate Emergency Medical Support (EMS) personnel contacted for assistance, if needed.
Parking Permits and Identification Cards
The Department of Parking and Transportation registers vehicles for faculty, staff, and students of Loma Linda University and Medical Center. Vehicles can be registered during normal business hours at the Parking and Transportation office located at 101 E. Redlands Blvd., San Bernardino, Ca. Registration is also available on line. A copy of the University / Medical Center Parking Rules and Regulations can be found on the Transportation, Parking, and Traffic website.
All employees and medical staff are required by policy I-24 to wear their identification cards on them at all times while on Medical Center property.
Parking Violations
The Department of Parking and Transportation issues parking violations to vehicles parked in violation of Loma Linda University Adventist Health Science Center's (LLUAHSC) parking rules and regulations. Parking enforcement is continuous for violators of handicapped, fire zones, visitor parking, permit parking, and prohibited parking areas.
Once a parking violation is issued, the violation is kept on record as being FINED until the following:
- The citation is paid.
- The citation was appealed and a warning has been issued as a result of the appeal.
- An individual had 3 or more unpaid parking citations, the vehicle was booted, the fines were paid in full, and the boot was removed.
During any one year period, the accumulation of more than three parking violations may result in the application of a "parking boot" which would preclude the vehicle from being moved without paying for the citations and the "boot" fee.
Parking in the Patient/Visitor parking lots of LLUAHSC, lots A and A-annex, by any "on duty" staff, employee or student may result in the issuance of a citation and/or the application of a "parking boot".
Emergency Phones on Campus
Emergency phones are identified by either a red, yellow or gray emergency call box. To contact the department of security with one of these phones, all you have to do is to pick up the receiver. When an emergency phone is activated, the department of security dispatcher will be alerted and an officer is sent to the location of the phone. No dialing or conversation is required. If possible, however, try to describe the emergency to the dispatcher.
In 1995, the Medical Center installed a number of new emergency phones. They are on distinctly marked bright red poles and will be easily located and identifiable at night by use of a blue light at the top of the pole. To use one of these emergency phones push the red button on the call box.

NIAGARA FALLS — Falls police are looking for a gunman who wounded a small child in what may have been a targeted gang related shooting.
Police said the gunfire erupted in the parking lot of the Hometown Market at 17th Street and Pierce Avenue early this afternoon. It's not clear whether the 3-year-old child, who was wounded, was actually struck by a bullet or by broken glass.
Capt. John DeMarco said a woman pulled her car into the convenience store parking lot, with a male passenger in the front seat and the child in the rear seat, and then went inside the market.
"While she was inside there were gunshots, we've been told between three and four gunshots, fired at the car," DeMarco said. "The male in the front seat noticed that the child appeared to be bleeding and jumped into the driver's seat. The (child's) mother came out and hopped in the car and they drove to (Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center)."
The child was treated at Memorial Medical Center and then transferred to Women and Children's Hospital in Buffalo. The extent of the child's injuries were not immediately available.
Detectives are questioning the child's mother. The male passenger in the car fled the hospital before police arrived.
Sources have told the Gazette the man may have some gang affiliation and investigators believe he was the targeted victim in the shooting.
Terry Losell, a 27 year resident of the neighborhood, said she was awakened by the sound of three gun shots as she napped on her couch a few blocks away.
"I don't believe it was meant for the baby," she said. "There was people arguing and fighting and instead of throwing their hands, they've gotta throw their guns. That's just the way it goes these days."
