MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Travis Releford and Jeff Withey both scored 15 points and No. 2 Kansas nearly relinquished a double-digit lead before beating West Virginia 61-56 on Monday night to extend the nation's longest winning streak to 18 games.
Kansas (19-1, 7-0 Big 12) shot 54 percent from the field in the first-ever meeting between the schools. The Jayhawks have held their last six opponents under 60 points.
Ben McLemore added 13 points for Kansas, which is in the middle of a stretch of six of nine games on the road.
Aaric Murray had 17 points and Juwan Staten added 14 for the Mountaineers (9-11, 2-5), who fell to 0-4 against ranked opponents this season.
West Virginia used several steals to trim a 15-point deficit to eight at halftime but never took the lead in the second half.
Staten scored three straight baskets, including a jumper that pulled the Mountaineers within 48-46 with 10:19 left. But they fell silent over the next 3 minutes.
McLemore, Kansas' leading scorer who sat on the bench for most of the first half in foul trouble, hit a layup and made two free throws on the next trip down the court during a 7-0 run that put the Jayhawks ahead 55-46 with 7:33 left.
West Virginia never recovered. The Mountaineers managed just four field goals over the final 10 minutes.
West Virginia coach Bob Huggins could have picked up a $25,000 bonus for a regular-season win over Kansas, something that was included in a contract extension signed in November.
But the Mountaineers shot just 37 percent and Huggins fell to 0-5 all-time against the Jayhawks.
Without any players averaging in double-figure scoring for the season, Huggins has jumbled his lineups this season to try to come up with size matchups and points production.
Lately, not much has worked.
West Virginia has lost five of six games. With 11 games left in the regular season, the Mountaineers are in jeopardy of missing the NCAA tournament for the first time under Huggins, their sixth-year coach.
No. 12 Louisville 64, Pittsburgh 61: LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Russ Smith and Gorgui Dieng combined for 34 points and sealed the game with four free throws in the final 12 seconds as Louisville ended a three-game losing streak.
Louisville, which has slumped since moving to No. 1 two weeks ago, saw an 11-point second-half lead cut to 60-58 on Tray Woodall's 3-pointer with 13.3 seconds remaining.
Dieng made two free throws with 12.7 seconds left for a four-point lead. After an air ball by Pitt, Smith followed with two more free throws for a 64-58 lead with 4.2 seconds left.
Woodall, who had 14 points, drained a long 3-pointer in the final second.
Smith finished with 20 points while Dieng had 14 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks for the Cardinals (17-4, 5-3 Big East).
Pittsburgh (17-5, 5-4) had its four-game winning streak stopped.
No. 25 Marquette 63, S. Florida 50 MILWAUKEE — Vander Blue scored a career-high 30 points to lead Marquette, which moved into a first-place tie with Syracuse in the Big East.
Blue, who came into the game as the Golden Eagles' leading scorer at 13.9 points per game, made 13 of 20 shots from the field and scored 11 points during the big run that spanned both halves.
The Golden Eagles (15-4, 6-1 Big East), who have won eight of nine games, returned to the Top 25 on Monday after being out of the rankings last week.
JaVontae Hawkins scored 14 points for South Florida (10-10, 1-7), which opened the season 9-3.
The Golden Eagles used a 21-4 run sandwiched around halftime to open a 38-24 lead on Blue's driving baseline layup with 15:18 left. Marquette ended the first half on an 11-4 run and scored the first 10 points of the second half. The Bulls couldn't get closer than eight points the rest of the way.

The Sabres' official end to the season -- locker clean-out day -- will be Thursday, with the players heading to HSBC Arena to pack up their gear for the summer. Until then, here are a few more words from Philadelphia on Tuesday night following the Sabres' Game Seven loss.
Flyers coach Peter Laviolette: "I just want to say what an incredible job the Buffalo Sabres did. They played really well down the stretch and got into the playoffs when they were way out at one point. It was really just a great job by their players and coaches to push it to seven games, when anything can happen. We got out of the first round, but they really did a great job so congratulations to their organization."
Flyers forward Danny Briere: "You know what, honestly it was probably one of the toughest series I've had to go through. Knowing you are facing a lot of friends, and you are going like that. It's no secret, in the playoffs there are no friends. You are out there and it doesn't matter who has the puck, you are going through them. Honestly, that was one of the toughest things to do.
"Looking at guys like Pominville and Jochen Hecht, two guys that when I had an amazing year there in Buffalo playing with them, and all of a sudden you have to play against them and slash them, and finish your checks and not let them win any battles. Gaustad, Vanek, Roy, Miller you can go down the list. They are all guys that I battled with and we battled hard. Honestly, it was tough at times.
"But I said it from the start there's not really any animosity towards them, towards the Buffalo Sabres. Like I said, the people that didn't want me there were gone. Obviously, there's extra motivation playing in that building, the fans booing me, and all that stuff was a little extra. But there is no animosity towards that team."
Sabres center Paul Gaustad: "I am proud of every guy in this locker room. We have had a tight-knit group in here, and it is tough to take the sweater off at the end of the season. It is tough right now because we have a lot of good guys in this locker room. Again, I am proud of everybody for what we have accomplished."
---John Vogl

NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 21: Actors Chritopher Meloni and his co-star Mariska Hargitay during the party for cast members of all three "Law & Order" shows, September 21, 2004 at One Little 12th Street restaurant in New York City. (Photo by Fernando Leon/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Chritopher Meloni;Mariska Hargitay
It looks to be the end of one era and the beginning of another for "Law & Order: SVU."
Mariska Hargitay, who has played Det. Olivia Benson on the show from the very beginning, recently commented to TVLine about the departure of Christopher Meloni, who portrayed her on-screen partner, Det. Elliot Stabler.
"For the past 12 years Chris has been my partner and friend, both on screen and off. He inspired me every day with his integrity, his extraordinary talent and his commitment to the truth. I love him deeply and will miss him terribly — I'm so excited to see what he'll do next."
Meloni left the series after failed negotiations with NBC over his contract.
TVLine had previously reported that "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf is currently searching for a big star to pair up with Hargitay on the show.

I cover Brazil, Russia, India & China.
Out of the roughly 37 companies spending a combined $300 million on commercials this Super Bowl Sunday, one country outside of the U.S. stands out: Korea.
Korean firms and even Korean culture are going to be everywhere this Sunday night as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII.
Samsung will have an ad for mobile devices featuring Hollywood stars Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd.
Kia will school us on where babies come from and show us a kick-ass female robot. She will probably be very sexy.
Hyundai will air three different ads, including a Sonata Turbo racing a butt-cracking motor cyclist and one set to a Quiet Riot metal head throwback from the early 80s, "Bang Your Head".
And lastly, while it's not an ad for a Korean product, Wonderful Pistachios landed Mister Gangnam Style himself, Korean rapper and worldwide YouTube sensation Psy, to sell the weird green nut.
Other foreign multinationals spending a few million on the Super Bowl include German automakers Audi and Mercedes Benz; Toyota (TM); Unilever (UN) and BlackBerry (RIMM) will try to convince you that the Z10 is cooler than Apple's (AAPL) iPhone.
Psy and Pistachios? What could go wrong?
Psy could replay his hatred of America songs which wishes an early death on all Americans. That could about sink it …
Super Bowl 2013 – Free Stream HD
psy gangnam style : 1,263,968, 962
Since S. Korea is so rich now (Samsung, Hyundai and other Korean firms make altoghether $100 billion exporting around the world)… ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME THE KOREANS STOPPED SOAKING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS TO PAY FOR THEIR DEFENSE? They should pay us the $40 billion it costs to keep our troops in S. Korea.
I don't think wealth has a lot to do with whether or not we station troops in a country. We still have two divisions in Germany, an entire Marine division in (or "MEF") Japan and an entire Navy fleet (7th fleet) in Japan. Korea, however, should subsidize the military presence more, like Japan does.
I don't think the wealth of the host nation really matters. We have about a U.S. Army division still in Germany, a Marine division in Japan and a whole Navy fleet (the 7th fleet) in Japan. Like Japan, Korea does subsidize U.S. force deployment with cash. They don't pay as much as Japan and in my opinion they should.

Staff Reports
Niagara Gazette
Two ID theft cases reported
The Niagara County Sheriff's Office is looking into two reports of identity theft involving bank cards in Porter.
A Cain Road resident reported Friday that she was notified by her bank that someone had tried to purchase $119.84 in merchandise from a Dollar General store in Indianapolis, Ind. The transaction was denied by the bank. The resident said they canceled the card.
A Youngstown-Lockport Road resident told deputies Friday that she found five charges on her bank debit card account from several online businesses totaling $692.54. The resident said one of the last places she used the card was a local business and a friend of hers had fraudulent charges on her debit card after using it at the same business. The matter is being investigated by the sheriff's office.
Niagara Falls
• THEFT: Police are investigating a reported theft between 6 p.m. Thursday and 4 p.m. Friday from a business in the 2400 block of Niagara Street. An associate of the business told officers an air conditioning unit was taken from the north side of the building, while a second unit was damaged from attempted theft. The missing unit was valued at $3,100.
• THEFT: Police are investigating a reported theft of a purse at 5:30 p.m. Friday from a store in the 1500 block of Military Road. The victim, a 40-year-old Burlington, Ont. woman, told police she forgot her purse on a motorized scooter when she returned to her vehicle in the parking lot. She said she returned to retrieve it and couldn't locate her property and no one turned it in to store security. She said her purse contained $1,800 American, $100 Canadian, her passport card, an iPad valued at $1,000 and a book-reader valued at $150.
• WILDLIFE SEIZED: Two pythons were seized from a Corinthia Street resident Friday by the state Department of Conservation, according to the Niagara County Sheriff's Office. Their owner tried selling them to a Newfane man who operates a "reptile rehabilitation center" and the operator called the sheriff's office because possession of the snakes is illegal. The snakes, an African rock python and a super tiger reticulated python, are highly aggressive and dangerous to humans, according to the report. The snakes' owner said he didn't know the snakes were illegal until the rehabilitator informed him.

Knox Students Gather Tips on Jobs, Careers
Career iMPACT Summit also offers networking opportunities with alumni
December 09, 2013
Anthony Balthazor '03 (second from right), senior vice president at FirstMerit Bank, offers resume advice to students at the Career iMPACT Summit.
Knox College students picked up job-search tips and career advice from Knox alumni at the inaugural Career iMPACT Summit.
Geared specifically toward the liberal arts student, the December 2-3 event also provided networking opportunities with more than a dozen Knox graduates who are building careers in various fields, including law, education, health care, business, and publishing.
Students said they appreciated the pointers from alumni and would start applying some of them immediately.
"My plan was to work on (my job search) over winter break, so this was actually a perfect time for (the career summit) to occur," said Sarah Martin '14, a biology major from Crown Point, Indiana. "I feel way more confident now, after this event, and more willing to go make connections that I wasn't going to go make before."
"I learned a lot here about interviews," said Kate Hovda '15, who is from Seattle, Washington, and has a self-designed major in visual communications. "I learned about how prepared to be when you enter the interview and how to customize your resume for each job that you're applying for."
Sessions included:
- "Using Your Resume to Stand Out in the Crowd," presented by Amanda Scripp Goodness '02, senior human resource manager at ARAMARK.
- "Interview Tips from an HR Professional," presented by Karen MacKenzie '95, human resources supervisor at Caterpillar, Inc.
- "Social Media and Personal Branding," presented by Jacob Plummer '00, vice president of business development at AllScripts.
- "Life After Knox: Real World 101," presented by Sarah Carlin '10, teaching assistant at Doodle Bugs! Children Center in New York; Graham Troyer-Joy '08, freelance software engineer, writer, and comedian; Ashley Steinsdoerfer '05, event specialist at the University of Chicago; and Rosie Worthen '11, community outreach member for the Illinois Student Assistance Commission.
- "Finding a Career That Fits," presented by Brynna Barnhart '03, associate director of enforcement at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Kenji Mori '07, teacher at Namaste Charter School in Chicago, Illinois.
"What I got from (the presentation by Barnhart and Mori) was just to keep your head up and have a positive outlook," said Deveon Rose '15, an economics major from Chicago, Illinois. He is considering a career in market research.
Rose added: "If you are dedicated to what you want to do, (the job you want) can eventually come to you."
The Career iMPACT Summit was organized by the Knox College Bastian Family Center for Career and Pre-Professional Development. It was sponsored by the John D. Carlin Career Development Support Fund.

St. Bonaventure's leading scorer will not return for her senior season. Doris Ortega along with guards CeCe Dixon and Tatiana Wilson were dismissed from the Bona women's basketball team.
"Obviously we wish them well," Bona coach Jim Crowley said. "It just didn't work here."
Crowley said all three have been granted their release and play at any school they wish. He also added about the departure, "I wouldn't say it was mutual."
Ortega started 27 games for the Bonnies last year, averaging 12.1 points. Dixon played in 24 games, missing five after being suspended for what was called an "internal team issue." The Bonnies seemed to be fighting through internal issues and chemistry problems at times last season. Combine that with a young team and several injuries and the program that went to the Sweet 16 in 2012 finished up 2013 with a 10-19 overall record and a 3-11 Atlantic 10 mark.
Wilson, who would have been a junior at Bona, averaged 9.1 minutes and saw action in 26 games.
Ortega and Dixon had been key components of the Bonnies run in 2012 as sophomores but seemed to stumble as juniors with the ability to take their game and leadership to the next level.
With their departures, Bona now returns just eight players -- two seniors and six sophomores -- with two freshman on the roster for next season.
Among those returning are seniors Ashly Zahn and Chelsea Bowker, who sat out last year as a medical redshirt with an ankle injury.
Among the sophomores returning are Katie Healy (Lancaster), Nyla Rueter and Emily Michael, all of whom saw significant playing time as freshmen.
Crowley said the team has responded very well to the loss of their teammates.
"From the time it happened, they have focused on moving forward," Crowley said. "We've gotten some great work ethic and leadership from people. They've had a solid spring and summer. We lost talent. Over the last two years we've lost a lot of it, but we have good talent here. We're getting used to each other, to playing together and for each other. Each day we're a day closer."

Five High-Impact Virtual Learning Solutions
Date:January 10, 2013 at 11:00 - 12:00 PM ET
Jennifer Hofmann, President(InSync Training)
As our industry has evolved, we've moved from 'CBT' (computer-based-learning) to 'WBT' (web-based-learning) to 'e-learning.' Now, we are delivering 'virtual learning.' The evolution of the terminology represents the evolution of our industry – tools, techniques, and applications are adapting to the way we naturally work and learn. Eventually, it will all be "learning", and just the location will be categorized.
But for now – what IS virtual learning, and what are the latest solutions that support it? In this session, we'll provide real examples of how organizations are applying the most cutting edge learning technologies to maximize results. First, some operational definitions will be discussed to provide clarity. The impact of Generational Dynamics on the deployment of learning technologies will be introduced, coupled with a discussion about factors that will impact training cultures over the next five years.
1. Self-directed media-based learning: Addresses delivery platform versus learning technology, assessment, completion rates, and retention rates.
2. Social media: Addresses social media as a social learning platform, and management of management of information.
3. Simulations & Gaming: Addresses Gamification, various types of simulations, and how to create this type of training without a big budget.
4. Virtual Classrooms: Addresses how virtual classrooms can be used for learning, not just for meetings and presentations. Also discusses advantages of virtual classrooms over traditional classrooms.
5. Blended Learning: Addresses how to blend the virtual learning solutions together with traditional training solutions to obtain the most impactful training solution.
The session will conclude with a discussion about the challenges that must be considered when implementing a virtual training solution.
Who Should Participate
Training professionals involved with the design, delivery, and deployment of virtual and blended learning solutions.

American small business owners put on a brave face – survey
American small business owners are a resolute lot, pushing ahead with plans to grow their operations despite losing a large chunk of sales to soaring energy costs, an American Express OPEN survey showed on Friday.
Ironically, most are also day-dreamers who look on the bright side , the survey added.
Although only 45 percent of U.S. small business owners are optimistic, — a sharp drop from 2004 – more than 70 percent plan to grow their businesses over the next six months, the survey said. Half of them are willing to take on added financial risk to get it done.
It's not surprising then that the survey showed nearly 9 of 10 small business owners describe themselves as "seeing the glass half-full." And despite the growing economic uncertainty throughout the nation, the survey said 75 percent of small business owners would still recommend a friend or family member become an entrepreneur.

Enid News and Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
No one wants to talk about death.
Shari England believes that is one reason people aren't making organ donations, and as an organ recipient, she realizes how important it is.
England, of Medford, received a new liver in August 2001. She was suffering from auto-immune hepatitis, a disease in which her natural immune system was overactive and attacked any abnormality full force. The result destroyed her liver.
By the time she received the liver transplant, she already had lost her thyroid and gall bladder. England said her struggle with the liver disease also was a lesson in faith and how God gives strength.
"My immune system couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe," England said.
Her problems started about 1996. England was married and had three children. She was a working mom and active in school and her church. She was constantly tired but decided it merely was the process of getting older. During a routine physical that year, her laboratory work showed significant problems. Through a process of elimination, doctors found the issue.
"They took a biopsy of my liver and found it already advanced to near cirrhosis. I didn't smoke or drink — and I've never used drugs — but testing finally found it," England said.
Doctors determined in 1997 she would need a transplant. From that time until 1999, she was maintained on chemicals and steroids, she said. She was listed on the transplant list in December 1999.
England said she still was able to function but tired easily. She had to watch her food intake but began to feel ill beginning in January 2001. Her skin turned yellow and she became sicker.
"When the doctors told me I would probably get a transplant in October, I knew I wouldn't make it," she said. "A week later I jumped in front, but I knew I didn't have too much time."
England credits her faith in God for carrying her through the ordeal. As a person of faith, she believed God would prepare her for everything. Her children were teenagers and her family all stayed together, she said. She also is from a small community, which rallied around her.
England leaned on her faith and her family in the days leading up to her surgery and said she was amazingly calm as it approached.
"I remember being wheeled into the operating room, after I had said goodbye to my family. I believed I would either wake up in recovery or in glory," England said.
Following the seven-hour surgery, she woke up in the recovery room.
She was in intensive care for two days, but said recovery was easy. When the tubes and wires were removed from her body, she said she felt "whole."
"I was clear-headed, I had clarity," she said. "The disease clouds your mind, and it was like being awake for the first time in a long time."
England always will be on medication, because doctors could not fix her immune system. Many times, the liver will repair itself, but with the immune system constantly causing problems, hers could not, she said.
She has to keep her immune system suppressed. The result is she has colds a little longer than normal. When someone has a cold that lasts two days, the same cold will take England two weeks to eliminate.
Through her illness, England said she learned a number of lessons.
"It's important for anyone going through that to be careful about prejudging people," she said.
There is a misconception about organ donations, and many of those misconceptions are not true. She said the illness was a great lesson for her family and her faith. She learned endurance and compassion.
"The lessons learned involve love, how to care, take care of one another," England said.
She no longer works, and she and her husband, Chuck, recently celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary. England spends her time writing, spending time with her seven grandchildren and doing volunteer work with the Oklahoma Blood Institute and LifeShare. She also does public speaking and recently addressed a women's retreat. She also will make herself available for others.
"I get out there and tell my story," she said. That story is never complete without talking of her faith.
"I don't know how I could have done it without it," she said.
Even the transplant experience is not just physical, but spiritual. She tells people God always was there. When she looks back at the time before the transplant and compares it to now, she said the main thing she has is "life."
"I have more life and energy now that I didn't have before. If I hadn't had the transplant, I wouldn't be here," England said. "The difference between now and before my transplant is that I am alive, and I am determined to use every day that I am able to celebrate that life by loving and encouraging others."
She said she still does not know the name of her donor.

CNHI News Service
STILLWATER – On a day Oklahoma State University recognized 18 seniors and remembered the one-year anniversary of the plane crash that killed Kurt Budke, Miranda Serna and Olin and Paula Branstetter, the Cowboys cruised to a 59-21 blowout win over Texas Tech at Boone Pickens Stadium.
"When people talk about the tragedy it just brings back the whole day and how the team felt and stuff," OSU senior wide receiver Isaiah Anderson said. "It was such a sad situation and I felt that this year we honored their memory getting a win today."
Anderson, who had missed several games earlier this year due to injury, was a big part in honoring that memory. The senior from Wichita Falls, Texas, would spark the OSU offense in his first substantial playing time of the season.
Anderson overcame an early missed opportunity — dropping a wide open pass for a touchdown on OSU's first drive — with a 26-yard run on a reverse and eventually becoming Clint Chelf's top target with three touchdown strikes.
"I was trying to do my best to make up for that drop. They gave me that reverse to kind of calm me down," Anderson said. "I was being anxious to get out there and make plays and I just needed something to bring back. Once I got settled in I was fine."
The senior receiver's first touchdown came again with him getting wide open behind the secondary, but this time he hauled it in for a 60-yard strike. His second touchdown came on a 33-yard flea flicker in which he had to wrestle the ball away from a defender for the score. He capped it all off with a 66-yard touchdown catch from Chelf to give him four catches for a career-high 174 yards and three touchdowns (also a career best).
"It was a great day. My little boy, my girlfriend and my little sister were all sitting in the end zone and I scored in that end zone all three times," Anderson said. "So it was exciting to be able to go down there and point at them and show them my love for being there to support me."
With Chelf and Anderson clicking, the defense was able to tee off on Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege.
Bill Young's defense sacked the Red Raiders quarterback three times, with countless hurries and knockdowns, to prevent Doege and Tech to find any type of momentum.
"We knew we just had to stick to the game plan, believe in it, buy into the system and have the confidence to go out there and make plays," said linebacker Lyndell Johnson, who recovered a fumble for the OSU defense.
All three facets of the Cowboy football team were in hitting on all cylinders. The special teams came up with another big play this week with a blocked punt by Zack Craig early in the second that set up the OSU offense on the Tech 24-yard line. Craig also blocked a punt in the fourth quarter and was able to scoop it up and score to put OSU up 59-14 — marking the third straight game with a special teams touchdown.
"When I got to the end zone, I was shocked and excited. It was just awesome. It was my first touchdown here at Oklahoma State. It was awesome," Craig said.
Oklahoma State saw an improvement in its red zone opportunities, utilizing J.W. Walsh in the Dubtruck formation — similar to Oklahoma's Belldozer — with three touchdowns being scored with Walsh taking the snap at the goal line. Walsh threw for a touchdown, scored on a run and handed off to Joseph Randle for a 1-yard leap over the pile.
"We call him a baby Tim Tebow because he's known as a running quarterback," Anderson said of Walsh. "But he gives an extra dimension to our offense. It helps that teams have to prepare for that."
Speaking of Oklahoma, Gundy bucked the norm following Saturday's win by announcing that Chelf would be the starting quarterback for the Bedlam game in Norman.
"I don't think there's any question that Clint deserves to play and start in our next football game," the OSU coach said. "He's earned that. Our coaching staff believes in him, the team believes in him and with all three of (the quarterbacks) being healthy, we're to the point now that we know he's going to start the next game."

For various reasons, people with cancer and their families may decide to travel to receive care. Someâparticularly those who reside in rural areasâmay have limited access to oncologists and treatment facilities in the local area. Others may elect to travel to consult with a specialist, seek a second opinion on a diagnosis or proposed treatment plan, or undergo a therapy that isn't widely available, such as radioactive iodine therapy or proton beam therapy.
Planning for your trip
As you make travel arrangements, remember to consider the following issues:
Costs. Assess the potential costs associated with your travel (see below), and find out what costs your insurance will cover at the destination health care facility. Learn more about resources to help you find financial support.
Assistance. Consider asking a family member, friend, or other caregiver to accompany you on the trip if you think you will need physical or emotional support.
Lodging. Talk with your health care team to determine how long you will need to stay, and ask whether the hospital or treatment facility offers lodging options. You may also use travel websites or a travel agent to find lodging.
If lodging presents a financial burden, check with organizations that provide low-cost options for patients. Organizations like Joe's House and the National Association of Hospital Hospitality Houses help patients find housing, while organizations like Ronald McDonald House Charities and hospital cancer centers directly provide housing options.
Transportation. Determine whether you will need to travel by car, airplane, or another mode of transportation. For air travel, inform your airline if you will require special accommodations, such as wheelchair assistance or meals that comply with dietary restrictions. In addition, check the U.S. Transportation Security Administration requirements for carrying medications and other specialized medical equipment.
A number of resources are available for those who need financial assistance with transportation to receive treatment.
Work. Talk with your supervising manager about the procedure for taking time off from work, including your eligibility for short-term disability or other types of medical leave. Learn more about cancer and the workplace.
Medication. Refill prescriptions for any medications that may be running low to ensure that you have an adequate supply for your trip.
Arrangements at home. Think through the responsibilities you have at home that will require attention while you are away. You may need to find caregivers for your children, pets, or house.
Talking with your health care team before travel
Before finalizing travel plans, ask your home-based and destination doctors to help you understand:
The nature of your long-distance appointment. Your home-based doctor can help you set expectations for your appointment and recommend questions to ask the health care team at your destination. If you are planning to undergo a treatment or procedure during your trip, consult with the doctor at your destination to find out how you should prepare for it, how long it will take, whether you will need to stay in the hospital, what short-term or long-term side effects you may experience, and how soon you will be able to travel after the treatment or procedure.
Coordination of care. Ask your home-based and destination doctors how they will communicate and coordinate care before, during, and after your trip.
Travel restrictions and precautions. Depending on your condition, your travel options may be limited. For example, if you are traveling to undergo surgery, your doctor may recommend postponing a long-distance return flight due to an increased risk of thrombosis (the formation of a blood clot in a blood vessel) or other health complications. Learn more about restrictions and precautions for people traveling with cancer.
Preparing for your destination appointment
It is important to take an active role in ensuring that your health care team has all of the information necessary to provide you with the best care. In preparation for your appointment, compile the following information:
Medical history. Bring documentation of your medical history, including diagnostic and laboratory test results and a summary of any treatments that you have undergone. Ideally, the receiving health care facility will have some of this information in advance, but it is wise to carry your own records to ensure that your health care team has the full picture of your situation. Find a form to track your medical history.
Health care team contact information. Keep a list with contact information for all the members of your health care team, which may include your primary care doctor, oncologist, other doctors, nurses, social workers, and physical therapists. In addition, carry a similar list of all the people and facilities you are scheduled to visit at your destination. Use this form to list your health care team members.
Medication information. Provide a comprehensive list of all of your medications, specifying the dosages and the times when you take them. Include both prescription and over-the-counter medications you take for medical conditions other than cancer. Use this form to list your medications.
Coping while away from home
Time away from home from home can be difficult, particularly if the nature of your travel means that you will be gone for extended periods. However, there are a number of things that you can do to make your time away easier for yourself and your loved ones.
- If possible, travel with a family member or friend who can not only provide support during your trip but also share the responsibility of communicating with those back at home.
- Use technology. Software, such as Skype and other video-chat technologies, e-mail, instant messaging, and text messaging allow you to stay in contact with friends and family, regardless of location and time zone. If you enjoy writing and have the time to do so, perhaps consider using a free blog to keep friends and family updated on your activities.
- Make an effort to personalize your space while on the road by packing itemsâsuch as a cozy blanket, a plush bath robe, or framed photos of family and friendsâthat will help make your temporary lodging feel a bit more like home.
Returning home
Whether you traveled for treatment or a second opinion, it is always a good idea to set up some time to sit down with your home-based care team and provide an update. For ease of schedulingâand for peace of mindâschedule your appointment before your departure.

I want to ask everyone what you think about this idea.
Local filmmakers and even filmmakers who are just starting out and haven't gotten a break get a chance to put a short or feature film on fearnet.
I would think this would be a cool feature. If they had like a indie section where we could upload our shorts or feature or send them copies. That would be great.
What do you all think?

EVERETT, Wash. -- A Boeing employee injured Monday night while working on the 747 production plant in Everett is listed in critical condition, Harborview Medical Center said Tuesday.
The Everett Fire Department said the man was pinned between the retractable flap assembly and the spoiler or speed brake, that extends vertically from the wing. It's not known how the accident happened.
The man was initially treated at Everett's Providence Hospital before being moved to Seattle. The nature of his injuries was not released.
Boeing, the Machinists' Union and the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries are all investigating.
The accident comes one month after another worker was seriously injured after falling beneath the wheels of a 787 being moved between two Boeing facilities at Everett's Paine Field. The accident resulted in the man's legs being amputated. Labor and Industries said the accident report in that incident is not yet finalized.

I make marketing better with brain & behavior research
Do you get LinkedIn connection requests from people you have never met or don't know at all? For me, at least, those kinds of notifications far outnumber requests from people I actually do know well. That may not be surprising – after all, the set of people we know is very small compared to a planet full of strangers.
There's an interesting divergence in LinkedIn's approach to such connections. While they instruct their members to connect only with people they know, their process design is clearly set up to maximize the growth of connections.
Here's what LinkedIn says about connections: "On LinkedIn, the basic type of connection is a contact you know personally and who you trust on a professional level." That's fairly clear, and for a long time I rebuffed connect requests from strangers, random trade show contacts, and others that I didn't know well enough to vouch for at some level. (I'm less fussy now, but that's another story.)
The other day, I accidentally approved a request from a total stranger who offered no explanation of why he wanted to connect. When I looked at the LinkedIn email notification, I realized how easy such a mistake is – look at the design of the the notification email:
Does anything seem odd about this? In fact, the design of this notification looks like it was ripped from the pages of conversion expert Tim Ash's definitive tome, Landing Page Optimization. There's one highly visible call to action in the email – an obviously clickable button labeled "Accept."
There is indeed a way to check out the potential connection first, but it's far from obvious. It's a tiny text link not placed near the accept button but at the top right-hand corner of the email. It's not a button, it's not shaded to emphasize the potential for action, it's not underlined – the only nod to making it look clickable is its blue color.
Clearly, this is an email designed to convert contacts into connections. Presumably, LinkedIn doesn't want to hit a self-imposed growth ceiling created by making it difficult to connect. (At some point, they eliminated the need to know a person's email address to initiate a connection request. That, no doubt, had a significant effect on the number of stranger requests.)
I don't have a problem with knocking down barriers to connecting on LinkedIn. I've contacted people I didn't know via LinkedIn (always with an explanation in my request), and have approved similar inbound requests. These contacts have resulted in interesting discussions and opportunities.
What I do find odd is the divergence between LinkedIn's stated policies and the conversion architecture of their notifications. (The on-site experience varies. In a dropdown, the "Ignore" button is the same size as the "Accept" button – ideal usability, for me at least. But, when viewing a profile of a member who wants to connect, there's only an "Accept" button.)
What's your approach to LinkedIn connection requests? Are you picky, or do you think it pays to maximize the size of your network regardless of how well you know your connections? Do you think LinkedIn has a split personality when it comes to increasing the number of connections? Share your thoughts in a comment!

Actually, I got rid of LNKD when I got tired of all of the requests from people I do not know and I found out that LNKD was selling members information for a profit without letting the members know who their informationwas being sold to it soured my view of the company.
Most people probably don't have a problem with it, but I do. Seems like an opportunity for abuse.
LinkedIn has its issues, as do all of the social sites. I can't blame you for being soured by some aspects of it, but I still feel it's the best of the lot. You have to manage it so that only information that you're willing for the world to have access to is posted there, regardless of your privacy settings.
As for the question Roger poses at the end of his article, I don't think it's binary. There's a whole scale in between. I do not accept requests from people I don't know automatically. I check their profiles, and if it looks like connecting would make sense, I accept. I've met some interesting people that way, and only rarely have I regretted accepting someone. This is also a reason for maintaining a reasonably complete profile, since I'm not going to accept your connection request if you don't give me a good reason, either in the text of your request or on your profile.
Regarding LinkedIn's split personality, I've noticed it, but don't spend cycles worrying about it. I pay attention to what I click on, so they're not fooling me. If you're a "careless clicker", you have more to worry about than just LinkedIn.
Maybe I am odd in this way too. I never look at the adds.
I'm picky about my connections on LinkedIn. I struggle to see the point of being connected to lots of people I don't, and probably never will, know. Whenever I get a random contact request–and, as for you, this happens very regularly–I send a polite email to the sender asking why they'd like to connect and explaining the way I use LinkedIn to stay in touch with people I know. Most of the time I never get a reply, telling me I did the right thing not to accept the request. Sometimes I get an email of apology saying it was a mistake. And sometimes I get a reply from someone who really wants to get to know me and is over the moon I made the effort to write them an email. Sometimes this even leads to some paid consultancy work for my company.
Is this social engineering by LinkedIn? Yes, possibly. But it's no worse than Forbes' deliberate placement of behavioural targeted tracking ads placed strategically between your article and this comments section. It's the Internet – if you click on something you'd better be prepared to face the consequences ;-)
I'm intrigued to see how Forbes.com's comments system works. It appears that my comment has been buried (or, rather 'not called-out' to use the correct terminology) so others must now click on an 'expand comment' link to make it visible. I'm sure this can have nothing to do with my mentioning the ad placements between articles and comments on the Forbes site that may have been designed to maximise intentional and unintentional clicks. No, it couldn't possibly be that. Perhaps my comment was uninteresting. If so, I'm very sorry.
BTW I have no issue with these or any other online ads. I work in the marketing industry so understand this well. It just struck me as comment-worthy to find a writer critiquing LinkedIn's approach on a site that uses very similar techniques.
I take it all back. My comment was 'called-out' 2 minutes before I posted this reply. My faith has been restored.
The most common trap is when people join a group — by default they allow group members to email them unless they learn to uncheck that option immediately. This is the usual reason for getting unsolicited requests. I too forget occasionally, particularly in a "friendly" group such as a company alumni group. They are easily infiltrated by spammers.
LI seems to be on a mission to grow numbers, real or otherwise. More page views mean more exposure for ads and probably fools investors.
The (financial) valuation of any social network or login-based community is closely related to the number of registered users it has. That's always been the case. So if you want to maintain your share price or vie for another VC round, registered users are key.
I too did notice the difference between what they SAY and what they let happen. Not too long ago you could even be punished for inviting people that didn't know you.
I've never really seen the point of closing things off though. My network is not a validation nor recommendation of who they are or what they do. They're simply a network and a way to make life easy when you want to do business or need to find something for a service to provide in the future.
For example: I may like your insights. Even though I don't need you now, I'd like to add you to my network, so when I DO need someone I can 1) ask some ppl I trust, 2) check the people I was impressed with myself and the decision making process becomes very short.
In other words, besides a data mining tool it's an efficiency tool. That is in direct conflict in preventing me from contacting strangers I want to contact.
And yes.. it does create a tension between the spammers and the serious people.

A man and woman died Friday morning in what Wake County sheriff's deputies said appears to be a murder-suicide in a pairing of houses located on a gravel road nestled among several subdivisions along Old Stage Road.
Preliminary investigation indicates Kyle Christopher Miller, 25, fatally wounded Jennifer Callighan and then took his own life, according to the Wake County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's spokesman Capt. Jimmy Stevens said a confrontation between Miller and Callighan appeared to have begun at 1309 Fieldstream Farm Road, where Callighan lived, but she fled to 1308 Fieldstream Farm Road across the road.
That's where deputies found her body inside the house, and Miller's body in the front yard.
A neighbor called 911 around 10 a.m., Stevens said, reporting the sound of gunshots.
Donna Partin, who lives in the subdivision behind 1309 Fieldstream Farm Road, heard shots, too.
"I just heard four or five gunshots, and a minute later a couple more," Partin said. "For a minute I thought, it must be deer season. Then I looked out and (heard) sirens."
Nicole Johnson, another neighbor, said sounds of deer hunting are common in the woods near the neighborhood, but the shots on Friday sounded different. She didn't know Callighan well but said she had helped her catch her cat when it got loose.
Callighan was a hairstylist and lived with her sister at 1309 Fieldstream Farm Road, Johnson said. She said Callighan had filed for a restraining order against a former boyfriend, though she did not know his name. Johnson said she rarely saw her outdoors except when Callighan was walking her two large dogs.
"It's all very close. All that separates us is a white fence," Johnson said. "We're a little freaked out. This is actually a really nice neighborhood."
The Fieldstream Farm Road property is surrounded by the Eagle Ridge subdivision and golf course. Two houses, an unoccupied double-wide trailer and several sheds and barns dot the 15-acre property.
"We've had very little trouble here," Stevens said of the neighborhood.

Brandon Eddy Wade. Early on in life I discovered that my passion was filmmaking. Through my experiences tutoring and directing film crews I have learned my calling: Teaching. When I found out I could combine the two in an emerging technological world that allows even elementary students the chance to make movies, I new that it was fate. Getting the chance to nurture young minds to appreciate expression and the arts has been a great privilege and I always aim to teach to the back row, to the child who thinks, "school isn't for me". I think we can save kids from losing interest if we seek them out early and show them a way to tap into their creative energies through educational film experience. I'm a filmmaker to share my thoughts with the world, but I'm a teacher to help everyone else get the ability to do the same.

"People often don't think to put on sunscreen when they are in the car. But, particularly for people who spend a lot of time driving in the car, commuting or as part of their job, the left side of their body may be exposed to UV radiation more than the right," says Heather Patrick, Ph.D., a health scientist and program director at the National Cancer Institute. "This is an issue that is particularly salient now as a lot of people load up the car and hit the road for summer vacations—perhaps getting more sun exposure than they bargained for."
That car exposure alone, even if it's not enough to cause sunburn, is still enough to heighten your risk for skin cancer, Patrick says. She suggests reducing your risks by wearing protective clothing, avoiding sun expose between the hours of 10a.m. and 4p.m. and, of course, applying sunscreen—at least 15 SPF—every two hours.
Here are some of our picks for protecting your skin while driving:
While heavy sunscreens may not be pleasant for your everyday commute, products such as Aveeno's Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 is designed to offer you daily protection without leaving behind the greasy residue (Aveeno.com)
Another convenient option is the Skin Cancer Foundation-endorsed Solar Gard, which offers an option of clear to tinted thin films that can be applied to your car windows. The film is designed to let in visible sunlight while blocking up to 99 percent damaging ultraviolet rays (Solargard.com).
Lastly, it is also important to shield your eyes from the sun because excessive sun exposure can also lead to ocular skin cancer. Invest in a pair shades like Oakley's Caveat sunglasses, which block 100 percent of harmful UVA and UVB rays (Oakley.com).

ENID, Okla. — Staff reports
Enid's track teams may be sorry to see the indoor season end. Seth Handley won the 400 meters and led two relays to gold medals as the Plainsmen won the Class 5A-6A boys championship at the Oklahoma Track Coaches Association Indoor Championships at the Chisholm Trail Expo Center Coliseum.
The Pacers, led by high jump champion Macy Adams, were third in the girls meet with 54 points. Shawnee (95) and Guthrie (55) were 1-2.
"I think we had a great day,'' said Enid coach Joe Miranov. "With some fine tuning, I think we will have a great team this year.''
Handley (51.4) and Alex Lofton (52.3) were 1-2 in the 400 meters. Handley teamed with Raheem Mitchell, Alex McCoy and Johnny Lawrence to win the 4x160 relay in 1:14.8 and with Mitchell, McCoy and Lofton to take the 4x320 in 2:43.
Handley was fifth in the 55 meters in 6.78 seconds.
Lofton was second in the long jump (20-11). Marshawn Mills was fourth in the high jump (5-4) and sixth in the long jump (20-5).
Josh Redd, Chris Daniels, Brance Hurt and Jake Taylor were sixth in the 4x800 relay in 9:31.
Adams, a sophomore, won the girls high jump for the second straight week, clearing five feet. She missed three times at 5-2.
"It's kind of a bummer because I prefer the indoors to the outdoors,'' Adams said. "I like the wood track. It gives me more traction and makes me stick better.''
Holly Stuart was second in both the 800 (2:37.05) and 1,600 (5:54) and teamed with Tyler Burge and Autumn and Savannah D'Auteuvil to finish third in the 4x800 relay in 11:11.
Savannah D'Auteuvil was second (12:16) and Berge sixth (13:13) in the 3,000 meters.
Misah Claytor was fourth in the 400 meters (1:09). Ellannah Schneider was sixth in the shot put (30-1).
Adams was the lone competitor to clear 4-10. Five went out at 4-8 and her last competitor went out at 4-10.
Adams, competing against herself, cleared five feet on her first try.
She actually prefers the pressure of having to clear a height to keep pace with someone else.
"I do better when I'm competing against other people,'' she said. "When I'm against other people, I am pushing myself to beat these people. I'm thinking I need to do this or that to beat that person. I set myself up with higher expectations than I do against myself.''
Adams said she did "much better'' than she did last week in winning the Coaches Indoor Games.
"I gave myself a little more of a push this week,'' Adams said. "I love competition and the competition was better this week. It's a great feeling to win.''
Adams, unlike many high jumpers, doesn't visualize herself going over the bar before a jump.
"I just try to focus,'' she said. "I really don't make a mental thought of it. I pretty much do whatever I can. I try not to visualize it.''
Her goal for the outdoor season is to break her personal best of 5-4.
"This was a confidence builder,'' she said.
"I don't know if being indoor makes me feel I'm doing better or not. It's the beginning of the season and you've got to do well at the beginning of the season.''

Brett Favre has been released from the reserve-retired list by the New York Jets, making the three-time MVP quarterback free to sign with any team if he decides to again come out of retirement.
The move Tuesday night means the Jets no longer hold the rights
to Favre, who spent one disappointing season in New York. The
39-year-old Favre had requested the move several weeks ago through
agent Bus Cook, but insisted he has no plans to come out of
retirement for a 19th season.
Favre said in a statement he had no intention of returning to

We always knew it would work, this Dual Clutch Transmission thing. It's a Honda, after all, and when it comes to engineering, Honda doesn't do duff. But that doesn't mean all the questions are answered, and the two big ones are, do you want it? And will we get it on sport bikes? Here's what it's like to ride the 2010 Honda VFR1200F DCT.
Editor's Note: We asked England's premier motorcycle reviewer, Kevin Ash, to tell us what he thought of Honda's DCT technology. Kevin is held in such high regard in England that each and every Visordown staffer proudly sports a tattoo of his face on their right buttocks. You can read his full Honda VFR1200F DCT review on his website.
Car drivers want Dual Clutch Transmissions because those with manuals
don't like waving their arms and legs about to find new ratios and the
changes are slow. Those with conventional auto boxes are putting up with
slushiness and reduced efficiency. A dual clutch system gives them the
efficiency of a manual (well, closer to it than a torque converter) with
super-rapid cog-swops and the option of paddle controlled manual or
full automatic – finger wiggling in place of limb waving, much easier.
Changing gears on bikes though really isn't too tough. Wiggle your left
toes and that's it. Upchanges, and even going the other way if you're
good, can be done without wiggling your left fingers, leaving the
clutch's prime duty as getting you off the line and a favored tool for
airing the front wheel when necessary (like, there's a fit bird on the
Honda's DCT is novel and it's different, but given time you might start
to wonder if the $1,500 you've added to the already hefty $15,999 price
was really money well spent. Normal gearchanging wasn't so bad was it?
And for a lot less you could have the same ultra-quick gearchanges with
an ignition kill quickshift from the aftermarket. Get over the initial
curiosity and you'll pine for a clutch lever, especially as DCT takes
away the option of feathering the power with your left hand in very
tight manoeuvres – full lock turns on the throttle alone aren't easy!
As for sport bikes, no way. Glue a second clutch on the end of the
first, add two hefty hydraulic pumps to operate each and you've just
bolted 22lbs onto a bike that already has more than enough avoir dupois.
So maybe here on Shamu it's not noticed, but on a superbike – let alone
a supersport 600 – that's like pulling a plug lead off. And worse, the
extra mass is rotating with the crank, so the engine response is dulled.
It's a good couple of inches wider than the stock VFR engine too, which
on a lean-happy Fireblade might cause some Tarmac interface problems.
Finally, as you're always riding with one of the clutches lifted and
slipping, transmission efficiency's reduced and even bigger losses are
incurred through the energy sapped by those hydraulic pumps. It's like
the drag you get when you switch on your car's air conditioning.
Brilliantly executed, but mostly relevant to amputees.
