Think on This DrinkThink on This DrinkStudy says cognition in children may be enhanced by drinking water before a testCould the key to a clearer mind be as simple as having a glass of water? A study published in the journal Appetite suggests that thinking function (cognition) in children may be enhanced by drinking water before a test.
Several studies have shown a link between hydration and thinking in adults, but less is known about the connection in children. What few studies have been conducted in this area indicate that water can help children who were purposely dehydrated to perform better on cognitive function tests that assess visual attention and visual memory.
The goal of the new study was to expand what is already known about dehydration and the capacity for clear thought in six- and seven-year-old children, by looking at the children in their natural hydration state. After completing a series of baseline cognitive function tests, 11 of the 23 children were given a 500-ml bottle of water (about two cups) and asked to drink as much as they wanted. The rest of the children were not offered water. About 45 minutes later, both groups of children completed the tests again.
Compared with the no-water group, measurements of cognitive function in the water-group children were significantly improved, including visual attention and visual search. "These results indicate that even under conditions of mild dehydration, children's cognitive performance can be improved by having a drink of water," said the study's authors. Drinking water also seemed to improve mood in the children, although the team said that while these results were novel, they weren't conclusive.
Water on the go
It's easy to skimp on water when you're out and about. Most experts agree that adults need about 64 ounces of water each day; children need somewhat less, depending on their size and activity level.
- Make sure to bring along a reusable stainless steel water bottle to keep hydrated on the run.
- Avoid reusing single-use plastic bottles (like those used for sale of bottled water), as these can break down and allow the plastic materials to leach into the water.
- Look for bottles labeled "BPA-free." BPA, or bisphenol-A, is a hormone-disrupting chemical that is used widely in everything from baby bottles to the liners of canned foods. While the jury is out as to how toxic this chemical may prove to be, it's probably wise to avoid it when possible.

By Tim Graham
Doug Whaley was careful Thursday to include the entire front office when talking about the Buffalo Bills' future.
He spoke about collaborative efforts with president Russ Brandon, football administration vice president Jim Overdorf, coach Doug Marrone and the scouting department.
But in an "NFL Total Access" interview, Whaley staked his claim to the player Buffalo drafted to be their franchise quarterback.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said on the NFL Network show. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board. But it was a collaborative effort between myself, coach, the area scouts, the cross-checkers and, of course, Buddy Nix."
Nix resigned as general manager Tuesday morning. Many have noted Nix's legacy will hinge on how Manuel's career turns out.
That won't be the case.
If Manuel becomes a star, then it will be Whaley and Marrone who get the credit anyway. They'd be the ones in charge when everything comes together, not Nix.
If Manuel flops, then Whaley has revealed his "integral" role in the process.
This is a departure from the Bills' past, when they preferred their decision-makers to be some kind of amorphous co-op that easily diffused criticism.
For instance, Bills fans still are wondering who was responsible for the Aaron Maybin pick. Was it Dick Jauron? Tom Modrak? Brandon?
The front office's ambiguity lessened with Nix in charge, especially after Modrak was fired in 2011. But once Brandon took over as president for Ralph Wilson in Januray and Whaley's imminent ascension (and Nix's lame-duck status) became obvious, we wondered all over again who was calling the shots.
When it comes to Manuel, it's refreshing to see Whaley latch on before we know whether or not the pick succeeds.
A conniving sort might've remained quiet about his role in drafting a quarterback with question marks, might've allowed the outgoing GM to take the blame if the decision fails while retaining the right to take credit if it works.
"We have a philosophy that the information makes the decision," Whaley added. "We think that we did enough due diligence and the information pointed us all to this point that EJ would be the guy we feel will take the Buffalo Bills into the future."

Application to Host a Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics
Deadline: February 15, 2014
Accepting Applications
Applications for future host institutions open in January each year for conferences to be hosted over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend in mid-January of following years. If you are interested in applying to host a conference, please read this information carefully; if you have questions, please direct them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Conference Overview
The primary goal of the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) is to increase recruitment and retention of undergraduate women in physics by
- communicating the breadth of education and career paths open to physics majors;
- disseminating information and advice on applying for summer research, graduate school and professional employment;
- providing opportunities to share experiences, advice and ideas with women at different stages of their education or career paths.
Although the CUWiP are primarily aimed at declared physics majors, recruitment of physics majors is fostered by energizing and equipping CUWiP participants to be ambassadors for the major when they return to their home institution, and by recruiting participants who may otherwise not be aware of the opportunities that a physics major provides (e.g., community college students in STEM fields who are interested in transferring to a four-year college, or first-generation college-going students).
Please see the APS CUWiP website for sample programs, FAQ pages, etc., from previous conferences in the series.
Application Content
Proposals consist of three parts.
Budget: A tentative budget, including expenses and expected resources. Refer to the sample budget as a guide. Estimated target number of local participants and out-of-area participants you plan to host. Estimates of all local anticipated expenses: food, accommodation, room charges, local transportation, expenses for speakers, panelists and workshop presenters, tours, etc. (See sample budget.) Expected travel expenses for students to come to the conference from their home institutions. Estimate of the financial support you expect to be able to raise locally (e.g., anticipated commitments from your institution, donations from local sponsors). Note that, in the past, the cost/student has ranged from $300 to $500 per student depending on local accommodation costs, length of conference, and how accessible by car the site is to the target pool of participants.
Sample Budget
Proposal: Your plan to recruit applicants. Tentative conference program. Available facilities for your conference, including capacity of facilities -- i.e., the maximum number of student participants you can accommodate, as well as your target number of participants. Participation in previous conferences (if any) by members of the organizing committee. Statement of interest from student members of the local organizing committee.
Letter of Support: A letter from your department chair that outlines the departmental support (financial and staff) as well as the names of any other faculty members engaged in the organization of the conference.
Selection Criteria
Preference will be given to a location that demonstrates clear commitment to the goals of the CUWiP program on the part of the institution and the student members of the local organizing committee.
Preference will be given to sites that have a broad recruitment plan that supports the APS vision of increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in physics.
Preference will be given to a location that has not recently hosted a CUWiP.
The selection committee will consider geographic coverage when selecting conference sites. Please note that four 2015 sites were selected in a previous selection round. They include Duke University, Rutgers-the State University of New Jersey, University of California-Santa Cruz, and Yale University. Applications for 2015 conferences are encouraged from institutions in geographic regions not represented in the above list, including southern California or the southwest, the south and southeast, and the midwest.
Online applications open in January. The deadline for applications is February 15.
The site selection committee will notify applicants by March 15. Selected sites will have until April 1 to confirm that they will host the conference.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Game blog: Braves pull away from Brewers, 9-3
Associated Press
Brewers starting pitcher Wily Peralta works in the first inning Monday.
Atlanta - Runs should be at a premium as the Brewers and Braves clash in a four-game series at Turner Field.
Both teams are struggling to score runs. Both teams strike out prolifically. And both teams have strong pitching -- both in the starting rotation and bullpen.
So, these games figure to be low-scoring. Baseball can be weird, so watch both teams score lots of runs.
But I wouldn't bet on it.
In addition to the game blog, you can follow along with a live box score and our Twitter feed.
Brewers - Carlos Gomez leads off with a walk, showing nice patience after missing five games. He is bunted to second by Jean Segura and moves to third on Ryan Braun's fly to right but Jonathan Lucroy breaks his bat on a soft liner to short.
Braves - What a weird first inning for Wily Peralta and catcher Martin Maldonado. With two on and one out, Maldonado commits a passed ball that caroms off the backstop right to him. He had an easy out at third on Jason Heyward but threw wildly, allowing the run to score and the other runner to go to third. After a walk to Evan Gattis, third baseman Mark Reynolds makes a nice stop of Chris Johnson's sharp grounder to turn a DP Braves go up 1-0 but it could have been worse.
Brewers - A 1-2-3 inning for lefty Mike Minor. Are we heading for another night of offensive frustration for the Brewers?
Braves - After the first three batters get on, Wily Peralta has to work his butt off to hold it to one run. But a 2-0 lead looks very big against the Brewers right now. And Peralta has thrown 53 pitches. Braves lead, 2-0.
Brewers - The Brewers go down 1-2-3 and have yet to collect a hit.
Braves - Freddie Freeman leads off with an opposite-field homer to make it 3-0. That's a pretty big hole early considering the Brewers' offensive struggles.
Brewers - Well, at least the Brewers won't get no-hit. Jonathan Lucroy's two-out single is their first hit and snaps string of 11 in a row retired by Mike Minor.
Braves - Ryan Braun throws out Jason Heyward trying to score on Freddie Freeman's two-out single and prevents Braves from tacking on another run. They still lead 3-0.
Brewers - We all know Khris Davis has prodigious power, especially for his size. He hasn't put it on display a lot this season but he crushes a two-run homer off Mike Minor to cut the Braves' lead to 3-2.
Braves - Wily Peralta allows a pair of two-out singles but stops it there. It remains a one-run game.
Brewers - The Brewers had a chance to tie the game after Jonathan Lucroy doubles with one out but Rickie Weeks pops out and Mark Reynolds grounds out. Braves still lead, 3-2.
Braves - A catcher's interference on Maldonado helps the Braves load the bases with no outs and Evan Gattis' sacrifice fly makes it 4-2. Tough night behind the plate for Maldy.
Brewers - Khris Davis singles and maybe he's ready to get going at the plate now. But it leads to nothing and the Brewers still trail, 4-2.
Braves - Brandon Kintzler throws a 1-2-3 inning. If Brewers don't tie it or take the lead in the 8th, they'll be facing Craig Kimbrel in the ninth, which usually doesn't go well.
Brewers - Ryan Braun cuts the Braves lead to 4-3 with an opposite-field HR off David Carpenter. Jonathan Lucroy follows with his third hit of the night but Rickie Weeks grounds into a double play.
Braves - Ron Roenicke gives Wei-Chung Wang a rare chance to pitch in a close game. Let's just say it didn't go well. Wang is blasted for five runs, including two homers, and forces Roenicke to summon first baseman Lyle Overbay to get the third out. That was embarrassing. Braves lead, 9-3.
Brewers - Well, you didn't think the Brewers were going to rally from a 9-3 deficit, did you? Lyle Overbay, who recorded the final out in the eighth, strikes out to end the game.

Brewers seem to do better against good pitchers than bad. Tonight's the night boys light em up.
Hopefully Carlos return leads to an offensive explosion. Maybe even 4 runs tonight.Hide replies
4 runs is the magic number , at least so far this year.
I like how you two think! Let's go wild and get 5!
I predict a 7-2 victory
Getting real tired of watching RRRRR give outs away, but especially when he gives them away in the first inning in exchange for the possibility of scoring just one run.
Peralta not off to the start I was hoping for. Maldanado misses an easy out at third and a run scores. Too many pitches for the first inning.Hide replies
His ball seems to have a little more movement tonight. Or is that my imagination?
Huge double play to end the first inning. Peralta's pitch count was getting way to high. Hopefully the DP settles him down, and he can be strong the rest of the way.
Hows bout a sweep of the old Milwaukee team.
Nice at bat. A guy that has the potential to drive a ball bunts at a pitch in the dirt and takes a fastball down the middle. What the heck is going on with these guys.
Peralta is all over the place tonight. First time we've seen this all season from him. Hopefully he finds it real quick.

Restaurant > DiningThai me up
Thai Bangkok (closed)
|9737 Joseph Campau
Hamtramck, MI 48212
More on Thai Bangkok (closed).
Published 1/28/2004
No one ever seems to take me up on this, but occasionally I like to tell readers how they can dine out really, really cheap. It reminds me of the time I spent in New York City, when I was allergic to work. My boyfriend and I would walk to a Ukrainian diner called Odessa on Avenue A, order a fabulous 50-cent soup and scarf all the bread we could eat. (We didnt share the bowl; we werent that desperate.)
Heres the Hamtramck 2003 version: three people go to Thai Bangkok. They order one $7.20 entrée. They leave $3 poorer apiece, replete and with the satisfaction of having tipped generously.
Entrées are a buck cheaper for lunch.
Portions are immense at Thai Bangkok, which has been operating under the management of its new owner, Por Vang, since October. Although quality varies from dish to dish, you can get a magnificent meal here.
At the very top of the list is Tom Kha soup ($2), described as hot and sour but actually more hot and sweet. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the order in which I tasted the bite of the scallions, the sweetness of the coconut milk and the earthiness of the cilantro, and finally gave up. Theyre all distinguishable and if you order pork in your soup, those small morsels add a rich bonus.
Also wonderful is Tom Yum, and, again, hot and sour doesnt do it justice. This is usually Tom Kha without the coconut milk, but Por Vang, who is also the cook, has seen fit to throw in tomato slices and they work. Id like to know where he finds tomatoes with flavor this time of year; in any case, hes discovered that this New World fruit makes perfect sense with lemon grass and kaffir lime leaves.
Another arresting combination is roasted peanuts and squid, which works great in Gaeng Massaman, a Muslim curry stir-fry. (Crab, scallops, shrimp, chicken, beef, pork or tofu are also available.) This golden-orange concoction also includes potatoes and onions.
How potatoes found their way to Thailand, I dont know. Because of them, the curry is more than filling as well as rich, though the squid is a bit rubbery.
Thai Bangkok hides more soups in the Noodles section of the menu. Theres broth at the bottom of a huge bowl filled with noodles, bean sprouts, fried garlic, ground peanuts, cilantro and scallions ($7.20). Cilantro is prominent here, blending with the other flavors to produce a light but pungent broth. I ordered the roast pork version; this complex dish is a find.
Since youll be carrying some of your soup home, you should know that the bean sprouts lose none of their crispness by Day Two, nor do the noodles turn to mush.
Ditto for Pad Thai, in which Por Vang does a good job. With Pad Thai, the main thing is to keep the ingredients fresh and the sauce light. Mission accomplished.
Less successful was a red snapper dish, Pla Pad Ped, the most expensive item on the menu at $11.20. The fish was rather tough and chewy.
My companion called her green curry with chicken somehow spicy and bland at the same time. Its pale and creamy and the kaffir lime leaves and basil dont really come through as hoped.
Thai Bangkoks appetizers are mostly miss-able, partly because the accompanying sauces are mediocre to bad. Spring rolls are small and very ordinary cylinders, more wrapper than filling. Fresh rolls might be refreshing come summer but left me cold in January. The white rice noodle wrapper encloses lettuce, shredded carrot and cucumber and is served with a hoisin sauce.
Tofu Tod: Lets be blunt: there are nutritional reasons for tofu, but there are no gastronomic reasons for tofu. I dont care how well you carefully crisp its outsides, it will still be flavorless inside and Ive never found tofu to be good at absorbing other flavors, the way rice or noodles or potatoes are. So even the mildly sweet and pleasant sauce served with this appetizer does not rescue it from featureless insipidity. Save your $4.50.
The usual desserts are proffered, for $1.50. Coconut ice cream is quite sweet, not creamy, and has tiny balls of tapioca hidden within. Banana rice cake, for those who havent tried it, is rice and coconut milk wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed to a paste, sweetly dense and sticky, with a few mung beans. Id say that this works for those who are determined to finish their meal with something sweet, but its not worth bothering about for others.
Thai Bangkok is unassuming in the extreme. There are a few photos of Thai scenes or emblems on the walls, including a gray shot of the restaurants exterior that looks like it was taken in the 30s.
Service is not top-notch if you want individual plates with your appetizer, youll need to ask. Or maybe theyre economizing on wash water.
No matter. Its the food youve come for.
(Thai Bangkok is closed on Sundays. No alcohol.)

Tonawanda News — What the Napa Valley is to California, the Niagara Wine Trail could soon be to New York.
With 18 wineries, including a cidery, the trail stretches from Niagara to Monroe County, with Orleans County and the Medina Railroad Museum near its center.
Shane Gustafson, who is the interim chair of marketing on the Niagara Wine Trail, said state legislation has passed to extend the trail out to Route 390 near Rochester. The expansion, which she said "just need's a signature by the governor for approval," will make the trail roughly 90 miles long, and likely will include a number of new and unique wineries.
"This is a good region for growing grapes," Gustafson said. "The temperature profiles, the climate of the region, and the land value are all good."
The nearest densely populated wine region is the Finger Lakes, but Gustafson said the Niagara Wine Trail is "younger" and is closer to both Buffalo and Rochester, and has the ability to draw visitors from across the Canadian border.
Gustafson said the Niagara Wine Trail has a distinct personality at each of its wineries.
"Some specialize in sweet wines, some in fruits, and one has a brewery, and there are a couple farms," she said. "Every winery has a unique, individual personality, and there's not any one kind of large company running anything … it's all families."
The Niagara Wine Trail is working collaboratively with the Medina Railroad Museum this fall, and will continue to work with it for more events in 2014, Gustafson said.
Brianna Byrne, a media representative for a number of museum rail excursions, said one publication has labeled the trail as "one of the most exciting places to be in the next 20 years."
Medina, she said, will be centrally located among the expansion.
"This whole area seems like an untapped resource," Byrne said. "The trail itself is expanding. It used to just be in Niagara, but now it's in Orleans and there are plans to expand into Monroe."

Emmy Rae
That night in the ER
Welcome to Team Emmy Rae!
The reason that JDRF will get my support is because of the little life I created, Emmy Rae! I will be walking because at 10 months old, my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
One does not think that they will ever have a child with a chronic disease. Though it is tough, Emmy has been tougher.
A day before she was diagnosed, she was vomiting every 2 hours, had a significant amount of weight loss and it became hard for her to breathe. I brought her to her pediatrician and he prescribed her an antibiotic for a stomach flu and a nebulizer for her breathing. As night fell I noticed her condition was worsening. She was not responsive, extremely lethargic and her eyes began to roll back. At this point I rushed her to the emergency room. The nurse at admissions was very alarmed at my fright and the condition of my daughter. He brought me back immediately. Another nurse came in and scented a sweet smell that she was releasing and told me that she was in DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis). I asked her what that was. She looked at me and told me my daughter has diabetes.
After a horrid time in that ER, we were rushed to Nemours Children's Hospital, where we stayed for 4 days. The endocrinologist informed me that if I did not react when I did, Emmy would be dead. We were educated on T1D and began our new life once discharged.
6 months later living with a baby who has type 1 diabetes is a constant struggle and there are no days off. We prick her little fingers for breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime, as well as an overnight check. Since Emmy is so young, she cannot articulate when she is feeling low or high, so if she is acting up, throwing tantrums, acting down, seems tired, I prick her. Depending upon her blood sugar levels she will get up to 5 injections of insulin a day. We have struggled with her having a seizure and having ketone's. For someone so small, it is hard to find what works for her.
I have always had faith that in Emmy's lifetime there will be a cure. Participating in this walk is the first step for me to make that difference! Help Emmy and millions of others who are living with this hectic lifestyle! Walk for the cure, donate for the babies like Emmy.
One step closer to a world without Type 1 Diabetes!

November 6th, 2012 was not a good day for California Republicans. The Presidential nominee slogged through a demanding and damaging primary period, warding off one challenger after another. All of those debates and promises, edging him further to the right, gave Romney the nomination in Tampa Bay, but helped him lose the general election in November. The Republicans retained the House of Representatives, but only after losing a token number of seats. California lost seniority in the House, since Congressmen Jerry Lewis (R-Redlands) and David Dreier (R-San Dimas) refused to run again, and other notable Republican incumbents like Mary Bono Mack (R-Palm Springs) and Dan Lungren (R-Gold River) lost their reelection bids.
The Open Primary and Citizens Redistricting Commission reforms forced California Congressional incumbents to fight for their seats instead of trusting a sympathetic state legislature to carve out safe districts for both parties. While Republicans witnessed not only some well-respected Congressmen step down, they watched two fraught fights between top-two Democrats who ascended from the June 6th primary to the general election. While cold comfort for Republicans, the campaigns and the outcomes from these elections drained Democratic resources while also putting away senior Democrats for good.
Howard Berman and Brad Sherman in the San Fernando Valley faced off in the new 30th Congressional district, although Sherman had geography and constituency as an advantage from the beginning. Even though the California Democratic Congressional Delegation stood behind the elder Berman, along with the two US Senators and prominent Republicans included, Sherman carried the seat by double-digits on election day. Sherman's win was a massive repudiation to the power of incumbency and legacy in California.
The more stunning and gratifying upset in the Bay Area made the CA GOP cheer. The previous arrangement of legislators carving up districts had buoyed incumbents into unaccountability, most notoriously the outgoing Congressmen Peter Stark (D-Fremont), who for all of his "outgoing" and outrageous comments over the years, never once faced the prospects of becoming an "outgoing" Congressman.
2012 changed all of that, with Dublin council member Eric Swalwell winning the number-two spot following the June primary. Swalwell then won the general election by six points. Stark's stark and raving reproaches finally caught up with him, and since he was forced to run in the more moderate 15th Congressional District, he faced a new set of voters, many of whom had no respect for his previous litanies of insults, thus no desire to reelect him.
As an anti-tribute to "outgoing" Congressman Peter Stark, here is a list of some
of his most impolitic comments.
About the growing national debt, Stark said: "the more we owe, the wealthier we are." This comment came from the "hippie banker" who would just as well have passed out Monopoly money as the real thing. He apparently had no problem treating our tax dollars like paper. He also insulted the interviewer, calling him "stupid", even though Stark's comments would have won him the "stupidity" award.
Stark once called the American Medical Association a bunch of "greedy troglodytes."
He also has referred to his Republican colleagues as the following:
"a whore for the insurance industry,"
Even liberal voters in the Bay Area, and there are many, should cringe to hear their Congressman talk to his own colleagues which such empty disdain. Stark's unkind remarks exposed that he was the real "caveman in Congressman".
Stark even violated decorum on the House floor while opposing President Bush's veto of the S-CHIPS program, then condemning the spending in Iraq:
"But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's amusement."
He then insinuated that Republicans like to blow up children. The chairman of that house committee had to admonish the Congressman for his slander against the President.
In one townhall meeting, Stark was explaining the purported benefits of Obamacare to his constituents. One voter refused to "drink the kool-aid," and he remarked:
"Mr. Congressman, don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining."
Stark responded:
"I wouldn't dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldn't be worth wasting the urine."
After ObamaCare passed, another constituent challenged Stark about the law, and he responded:
"There are very few constitutional limits that would prevent the government from rules that could affect your private life."
"The federal government can do most anything in this country." (loud boos followed)
Congressmen are sworn to uphold the Constitution, yet Stark starkly did not care.
In another townhall meeting, voters questioned Congressman Stark about border control. The Congressman openly mocked his constituents. This man had no integrity, no respect for his own district residents. He claimed that the borders were secure, despite the porous number of people entering the country illegally. His brazen arrogance makes Congressman Henry Waxman (D-Santa Monica Bay) look like a prince.
With this "anti-tribute" at an end, this California Republican would like to thank Fremont and East Bay residents for making "outgoing" Peter Stark "outgoing" for good. Our state is better for it. One can only hope that 2014 will usher in more representatives who respect our Constitution, our country, and California.

After the Panthers selected A.J. Klein in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL draft, Klein went with his family and friends to Tanners Grill and Bar in Kimberly, Wis.
The restaurant was the same one he and his high school teammates ate at before Friday night games during their two state championship seasons. And it was where the former Iowa State linebacker wanted to go that Saturday night four years later to thank his supporters.
Im representing a small Kimberly town, Klein said. Im only the third guy from my high school thats made it to the NFL. The whole entire town took pride in that.
From a town of fewer than 7,000 people, Klein was overlooked by most big-time college programs coming out of high school. And even on draft weekend, the Panthers were surprised he fell to them in the fifth round.
But now that hes in the NFL, he plans to make his mark, and it started this past weekend at Carolinas rookie minicamp.
Klein was one of five draft picks that competed alongside 54 other players vying for a permanent spot on the roster. Kleins ability to play all three linebacker positions as well as work as a special teams player will allow him to contribute immediately.
I do want to play special teams, mainly because I do want to see the field as early as I can and I think thats my ticket to get on the field early, Klein said. Thats a way I can make myself versatile and make myself a person people want to have on their team.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Klein will first and foremost add depth at linebacker, with the trio of Luke Kuechly, Jon Beason and Thomas Davis as the starters. Rivera said he noticed Klein moved more smoothly than he expected this weekend.
We really do feel that was a value pick, Rivera said. We feel our last two picks (Klein and former Oregon RB Kenjon Barner) were value guys. They had good college careers that did things consistently over a period of time. Guys like that, they may not become superstars, but theyre definitely going to be contributors.
A contributor on an NFL team was a far-away dream for Klein when he was in Kimberly, though. He got scholarship offers from just four schools Wyoming, Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and Iowa State.
He said Oklahoma was prepared to offer him, but before the Sooners could, three linebackers committed to the school.
Just to get that exposure early, it kind of put a chip on my shoulder, Klein said. Having a big program like OU recognizing me and seeing that I have talent but then the other schools pushing me to the wayside, it put a chip on my shoulder, and I wanted to prove something. I felt like I did that at Iowa State.
He was named Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the Big 12 his junior year and finished his four-year career with 361 tackles, including 117 in each of his final two seasons.
Klein said hes one of three players from Kimberly to get to the NFL. Matt VandenBoom played two seasons with Buffalo in the 1980s as a defensive back, and Mike Verstegen was an offensive lineman for the Saints and Rams in the mid-1990s.
Hes humbled to be a part of that group, he said. And with the veterans in the Panthers linebacking corps, along with the Defensive Rookie of the Year in Kuechly, Klein hopes he can glean as much knowledge from them as possible to remain in the league for years to come.
Obviously they have some experience and know what theyre talking about, he said. Im going to try to grasp and hang on to one of them at training camp and learn as much as I can from them. Im going try to find my niche on defense or special teams. It doesnt matter. Im just trying to make an impact.

WASHINGTON — Anxiety about the effect of a ban on political spending by federal contractors is prompting new caution by a company connected to such donations and a "super PAC" that accepted them.
Restore Our Future — a super PAC that has spent more than $42 million on behalf of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney — had previously solicited money from federal contractors. Now it is warning the contractors to get legal advice before giving.

York City denied by late leveller at Rotherham United
9:45pm Tuesday 26th February 2013 in News
YORK City were denied a much-needed npower League Two victory as Rotherham United netted an injury-time equaliser at the New York Stadium.
The Minstermen looked to be heading for a 1-0 victory after Matty Blair's 63rd minute goal, but Daniel Nardiello struck in the fourth minute of injury time to snatch a point.
Results elsewhere mean City are now only four points above the relegation zone, but it could have been so much better.
Striker Jason Walker hit the top of the crossbar in the first half, while Blair was denied by former City goalkeeper Andy Warrington on 56 minutes.
When he broke clear again seven minutes later, Blair rounded Warrington and gave the visitors a precious lead.
However, the Millers piled on the pressure in the latter stages and Ben Pringle's cross was turned in by Nardiello.

1-1 against Rotherham is a good result, but feels like a loss with conceding in the 93rd minute.
We are now FOUR points above relegation. It's truly brown trousers time.

Less than one week after being selected an America's 100 Best hospital by Healthgrades, Holland Hospital has been honored again.
Yesterday, Truven Health Analytics (formerly Thomson Reuters) named Holland Hospital as one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals. This is the eighth consecutive year the Hospital has received this top honor. We are the only hospital in West Michigan to have received both the Truven Health Analytics 100 Top Hospitals and the Healthgrades America's 100 Best Hospitals awards.
"Our hospital staff and physicians strive to deliver the highest quality of care to each and every patient we serve," said Dale Sowders, Holland Hospital President and CEO. "Achieving this level of recognition for eight consecutive years, as well as being selected an America's 100 Best hospital by Healthgrades, is a powerful validation that we consistently provide high-quality care at Holland Hospital."
To determine the 100 Top Hospitals, Truven Health researchers evaluated 2,922 short-term acute care, non-federal hospitals. They used public information – Medicare cost reports, Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) data, and core measures and patient satisfaction data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare website to make their determination. Hospitals do not apply, and winners do not pay to market this honor.
"The winners of the 100 Top Hospitals award have driven the national benchmarks higher every year for 20 years," said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president at Truven Health Analytics. "The key to success in a tumultuous environment is visionary leadership that develops and maintains a hospital-wide culture of excellence that cuts across everything, from patient care to housekeeping to administration, and the refusal to rest on laurels when it comes to adopting new technologies and techniques."
Holland Hospital serves the health care needs of the greater Holland area and surrounding communities in Ottawa and Allegan counties with a 189-bed main campus and numerous off-site locations. The hospital medical staff includes more than 300 primary care and specialty physicians with support from 2,000 hospital employees. Holland Hospital is ranked among the nation's 100 Top Hospitals by Truven Health (Thomson Reuters) and Healthgrades, and has received ISO 9001:2008 certification by DNV Healthcare.

Bill Nye is best known as "The Science Guy." But the onetime Boeing engineer captured the spotlight in a new way last month when he performed on "Dancing With the Stars" and tore a tendon in his leg.
Before he became a national name, Nye's career and persona were launched in the Puget Sound area on the TV comedy show "Almost Live" in the '80s and '90s.
Nye, a self-described skeptic and agnostic, is returning to his Puget Sound roots. He's coming to Tacoma to give the keynote address Oct. 25 for a national conference bringing together skeptics, humanists and atheists.
More than 200 people are expected to attend the Center for Inquiry Summit at the Hotel Murano.
Nye, 57, hosted the PBS program, "Bill Nye the Science Guy," in the 1990s, wearing his trademark blue lab coat and bow tie. Two decades later, he continues to bring science to a mass audience through several television series.
As a science educator and entertainer, Nye has amassed a large fan base with more than one million followers on Twitter.
We caught up with him over the phone from his home in Studio City in the Los Angeles area to talk about his part in the conference for skeptics and get an update on his dancing injury. (Yes, his left leg still hurts.)
Question: Why are you speaking at the Center For Inquiry Summit in Tacoma?
Answer: I've been a member of skeptic organizations since I got out of engineering. … We are living in a time when science is being marginalized politically in the United States. This is in no one's best interest.
Q: Can you give me an example?
A: These people in Texas want (science) textbooks to use creationism, to spend tax dollars on something breathtakingly silly. That's absolutely wrong. That is at one level an outrage. At another, extraordinary silly. At the most important level, it is bad for the economy. You can't raise a generation of students who don't understand science. We will not have engineers. We will not have innovation.
Q: What do you plan to focus on in your keynote address?
A: We have to include people. … People in religious communities commonly interpret this (opposition to creationism in textbooks) as an attack on their religion, their beliefs and their faiths. We in the skeptical (community) have to maintain discipline. We have to focus on the claims. The Earth is not 10,000 years old, for example.
Q: How does the Center for Inquiry fit with your own beliefs?
A: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. We want everybody in the world to be aware of that message. … The Earth is round. The universe is not only expanding, it's accelerating. … These are extraordinary things, and they can be proven. When someone says I can determine your personality by the date of your birth, that can be shown to be absolutely not true in any way.
Q: How do you describe your view regarding the existence of a higher power: agnostic, atheist or something else?
A: Everyone is reasonably an agnostic. You can't know. For me, I've come across no evidence of a higher power. I was raised in a religious family. I attended church regularly (was an acolyte in the Episcopal Church). I am what the president calls a nonbeliever. That works for me. When you have people running for president insist the United States is a Christian nation, that's wrong.
Q: Are science and religion opponents, friends or neither?
A: They're different things. Science deals with this process by which we know nature, by which we understand our place in space. Religion deals with how we feel. Evolutionary biology deals with how we feel also. There's a lot in common.
If it turns out there's a God and there's a plan for my life and it was his plan to tear my quadricep tendon on an international dancing show, I would be surprised.
It hurts like heck today.
Q: When were you last in Tacoma?
A: I have friends in Gig Harbor. I was there last spring.
Q: What was it like for you to perform on "Dancing With the Stars"?
A: It was cool. It was the greatest thing. I'm just really sorry I hurt my leg.
Q: Are you walking with a cane?
A: I have three canes depending on my outfit.
Q: Do you keep in touch with John Keister and your old "Almost Live" buddies?
A: I just took Steve Wilson (who directed every episode of "Almost Live") and his wife, Julie, to the airport. The Cal Ripken of "Almost Live". … We had the 20th anniversary of "The Science Guy" show last summer. John (Keister) was there.Steve Maynard: 253-597-8647 steve.maynard@ thenewstribune.com @TNTstevemaynard

Comments about Wippermann Connex 908 9-SPEED Chain:
Great way to standardize a stable of bikes used for competition and trail riding. After trying SRAM (ugh) and Shimano chains with limited success it was nice to find the Wippermann was better than the rest. Sturdy, durable, fast and accurate shifting, the chains have given exactly zero problems for over a year of endurance, X/C racing, and trail riding.
Best Uses
Comments about Wippermann Connex 908 9-SPEED Chain:
Wipperman always make quality products and this chain is no different.
Best Uses
Comments about Wippermann Connex 908 9-SPEED Chain:
Finally. A competition level chain that won't leave you stranded. No problems shifting with SRAM or Shimano components. Chains might not be sexy, but without a good one you won't go very far. Whipperman makes a great chain with precision. It hasn't stretched one bit under very demanding circumstances and many, many miles.
Best Uses
Comments about Wippermann Connex 908 9-SPEED Chain:
Very strong chain, and will last much longer than a shimano chain if you keep it clean and lubed. I did notice that it shifts a bit worse than my old shimano chain, even though it has had time to wear in with the cassette. I have heard the same from others as well. Also, the pins will rust if you leave it wet.
Comments about Wippermann Connex 908 9-SPEED Chain:
Reliable clean shifting and can even be used on a worn freewheel where other chains skip- not in all cases but many times this chain just beds into a worn Freewheel. Sometimes it may skip a bit on a worn freewheel for the first 200 miles but then settles down to the typical smooth wipperman way. Again- not all the time but odds are that with a worn freewheel, this is your best bet. KMC and SRAM are all noisier than wipperman and dont shift as well.

Authorities last week searched the home of a Centreville man identified as the last person to see missing mother Bethany Anne Decker before she disappeared at the end of January. The results were revealed this morning.
Despite the search and previously not revealing that Decker had a boyfriend, investigators continue to stress that no suspects have been identified, nor has evidence of a crime been found.
"There are no suspects because we don't necessarily have a particular crime we are dealing with," said Investigator Vince DiBenedetto, a spokesman for the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office. Everyone involved is considered a witness at this point, not a suspect, he said. He also said the boyfriend, Ronald Roldan, is cooperating with authorities.
Shannon Codere, the Loudoun County investigator who submitted the affidavit for the warrant, cited several reasons for searching the home.
"[Roldan] made conflicting statements regarding when he noticed her car being parked in the parking lot in front of their shared apartment. Decker went to Hawaii with her estranged husband just days prior to her disappearance. Roldan is described as controlling and abusive by Decker to her family and friends prior to her disappearance," the warrant reads.
Although the warrant cites two possible felonies – first- and second-degree murder – as justification for the search, the Sheriff's Office stressed Tuesday afternoon that police do not know yet whether this is ultimately a missing persons case or something else. DiBenedetto declined to say if authorities had developed any new leads after searching the home.
Decker, 21, a GMU student who lived in Ashburn, , shortly before her husband, Emile Decker, deployed to Afghanistan. She is believed to be five months pregnant with her boyfriend's child. She and her husband have a 17-month-old son, who lives with Bethany Decker's parents. Decker's family reported her missing on Feb. 19, after having no contact with her since the end of January. Emile Decker has been in touch with investigators and is cooperating.
Roldan moved in with his mother on Saint Germain Drive in Centreville in February, according to the warrant. Loudoun County investigators confiscated two Blackberry cell phones, three other phones, a Mac notebook computer, an external unified video decoder (UVD), photos, two ticket stubs and a receipt from a Sunoco gas station, results of a search warrant filed in Fairfax County Circuit Court reveals. While the warrant was filed last week, the court clerk stamped the findings March 8.
Investigators also seized immigration papers, a black bag with assorted papers, two contact cases, three keys and a remote control device, along with Giant and Harris Teeter cards.
Anyone with information on Decker's whereabouts, or who has seen her since Jan. 29, should contact Loudoun County Sheriff's Investigator M. Halley at 703-777-0475.

Skin cancer — the abnormal growth of skin cells — most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. But this common form of cancer can also occur on areas of your skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight.
There are three major types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
You can reduce your risk of skin cancer by limiting or avoiding exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Checking your skin for suspicious changes can help detect skin cancer at its earliest stages. Early detection of skin cancer gives you the greatest chance for successful skin cancer treatment.
