The Worldwide Face of Elder Abuse Scan II
The WorldView Environmental Scan I on Elder Abuse Scan was the first large-scale global survey of elder abuse and obtained more information from more respondents representing more countries than any previous study. Its goal was to further our knowledge of elder abuse and understand how and why people abuse older adults on a global scale. The outcome provided information rich in content and diversity and although the process was a challenge, the researchers are enthusiastic to once again seek the support of the elder abuse community in conducting the second phase of this international study. There is again a need to share information and raise awareness of elder abuse in order to stimulate development of more programs and policies. Countries lack awareness of what is happening in other jurisdictions. The goal of the Scan is to provide information sharing, identify promising initiatives, and strategies resulting in the general public becoming more aware of abuse and of how it can help prevent and address abuse issues. This research will further assist governments to develop sound policy built on an understanding of the extent of the problem and the far – reaching impact it has on society. Participation in the Worldwide Scan has the potential to make a very powerful contribution to the field of elder abuse.
Chicago Declaration on the Rights of Older Persons - UN 5th OEWG Side Event
The fifth working session of the United Nations Open-ended Working Group on Ageing is taking place July 30th – August 1st, 2014. As part of the OEWG meeting, there are a variety of side-events being organized by members of civil society. This year, the IFA is co-sponsoring a side-event being organized by the John Marshall Law School about the process of engagement and drafting of the Chicago Declaration on the Rights of Older Persons.
The Chicago Declaration is a working product of scholars, advocates and policy makers from more than a dozen countries. It builds on the principles proclaimed in international human rights instruments and previous regional and international instruments promoting the rights of older persons. Elements of the Chicago Declaration include the human rights and fundamental freedoms of older persons and proposed state obligations to ensure and promote those rights.
The Declaration will hope to inform and contribute to the work of the Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing. After an interactive panel discussion, the panelists and Chicago Declaration Working Group will be available for a Question and Answer session. Further discussions regarding the Chicago Declaration are encouraged and appreciated.
To see the list of speakers and to learn more about this event, please click here to download the promotional flyer.
If you wish to attend the side-event, please RSVP to Ms. Teresa Do (firstname.lastname@example.com) by July 31st.
Grantmakers In Aging Gathers Age-friendly Images from Around the World
What does an age-friendly community look like? From city to town, from continent to continent, the answer is different everywhere. As such, Grantmakers In Aging (GIA) [www.giaging.org] set out to collect a wide variety of images of age-friendly moments, with their "Friendly Places, Friendly Faces" photo contest. The contest was part of GIA's age-friendly initiative, Community AGEnda, funded by the Pfizer Foundation. [http://www.giaging.org.../]
"We launched this contest to gain insight into what people think best illustrates an age-friendly community," said John Feather, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Grantmakers In Aging. "Our winning photographs tell meaningful stories of how older adults are vitally connected to the life of their cities, towns and villages in many different parts of the world, and show how communities can be great places to grow up and grow old."
"Friendly Places, Friendly Faces" received over 500 entries from 29 different countries. The photographer responsible for the grand prize-winning photo is Sudipto Das, a photojournalist for the Times of India. He took the above photo of older adults getting early morning exercise in Kolkata, India.

I'm walking/biking 8,000 miles.
I don't believe in philosophy without action. My journey will test my beliefs, my hopes, my ideas. The goal: to meet the gods.
How it Began
When I first started Rogue Priest, I wrote:
My goal is to travel the world, learn as much about myself as I can, and help people in any way I can… as I travel into other countries, into areas that may be impoverished or politically unstable, my goal is to do more than just get by. To be more than a visitor or an NGO worker. I want to truly meet people along the way, to work beside them and live with them, to look into their eyes and meet the gods we carry with us.
So let's do it.
I quit my job, left my temple and my home city, and began to travel. My travels were not aimless, they were preparation. I focused on my physical fitness, on speaking Spanish, and on learning how to make a living as a writer on the road.
I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
I'm going from the start of the Mississippi to the end of the Amazon, crossing two continents under my own power.
(Note: So far I have made it as far as New Orleans, Louisiana, about 1700 miles in.)
We studied South America in World History class when I was 12. I can still see the picture at the beginning of the chapter, a giant waterfall in the Amazon. I always knew I would travel across Latin America someday.
In college I decided I would walk there, because that will let me travel slowly. I want to get to know people and communities—and the land. I want to live immersively, not as a tourist.
After college I put off my dream. I worked hard for good causes—my temple, a variety of nonprofits, and an amazing art museum. I felt fulfilled by these activities, but I also felt my dream slipping away. It wasn't the same thing as living gloriously, following the example of the great heroes, and traveling freely to change myself and the world. It's time to do that now.
I believe that walking across the United States, Mexico, Central America and South America will provide me with plenty of opportunities to live that way. Maybe I truly can make a difference in our world.
I am a philosopher-adventurer, and this is my thesis. Does travel change the mind? Does adventure expand personal limits? Does living for high ideals, following your purpose, and doing amazing things lead to a life of bravery and joy—and inspiring others?
I'm going to find out. I'm going to live it, so no one can say it's impossible.
How to Get Involved
I merrily invite all readers to join me on the journey, either in person or by following my travels through Rogue Priest.
If you like what I do and would like to support the walk, here are some ways you can help:
- Send me an email and tell me what you think. I love meeting new people. firstname.lastname@example.com
- Tell others about Rogue Priest. Share it on the social media of your choice.
- Chat with me on Twitter @Rogue_Priest
- Get updates on Facebook.
- Become a patron of my writing and get special perks, or
- Get a postcard

A Weeping Water man has pleaded guilty to Class II Felony; firearm involved in domestic dispute. Sentencing is September 20th for 47-year-old Daniel Richardson.
The Cassgram reports Richardson pled guilty to attempted possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. Under the plea agreement, the charge was amended from a Class ID Felony and a Class IV Felony charge of terroristic threats was dropped. There is no agreement on a recommendation for sentencing. Richardson remains free on bond.
The conviction stems from a domestic dispute last November at a Weeping Water apartment. Cass County sheriff's deputies arrived and found both parties intoxicated, said Deputy Cass County Attorney Richard Fedde. Richardson had previously been convicted of third degree assault of the woman and was not allowed to possess any weapons. Deputies located a 12 gauge shotgun in Richardson's closet after the woman told deputies of the gun.

INDIANAPOLIS — Last spring, a small public elementary school in the small city of Goshen, Ind., won a big award from the private Milken Foundation: It was named one of the four best schools in the nation for teaching excellence.
I thought the recognition was newsworthy so I wrote about it. Unlike elementary schools in affluent communities that are used to winning accolades, West Goshen Elementary School has a student population that few school administrators would envy: Almost 80 percent of its students come from poverty-stricken families and many of them are the children of Hispanic immigrants who speak little English.
West Goshen earned the award by embracing many of reforms put into place by Indiana's former state schools chief Tony Bennett, who is now under a shadow of scandal. It focused resources on boosting student test scores, provided intense remediation for students falling behind, adopted a teacher-mentoring program modeled by other schools, and recruited community volunteers to provide tutoring, support and encouragement to children so easily discouraged by failure.
In talking to school principal Alan Metcalfe, I could hear urgency in his voice. He was on a mission to raise the reading levels of his third-graders because he knew the odds for students who are poor readers and who live in poverty are grim: They're six times at greater risk of dropping out.
Yet when West Goshen Elementary School was graded by the state, under the nearly impossible to understand A-F grading system that Bennett implemented at the direction of the State Board of Education, the school got a D.
And that is what's really wrong with the state's complicated school grading system. Parents, teachers and communities leaders in Goshen knew that West Goshen wasn't a school on the brink of failure.

SARASOTA -- Tears will flow, laughter will erupt, and millions of dollars will be headed in the right direction.
Dick Vitale will host his gala tonight at the Ritz-Carlton, and the most renowned college basketball announcer hopes to register a slam dunk in announcing the event has raised more than $10 million since its inception eight years ago.
The money raised by Lakewood Ranch's most famous citizen goes to pediatric cancer research under the Jimmy V Foundation named in honor of Jim Valvano, the N.C. State basketball coach who died in 1993 from cancer.
The stars will shine brightly, and once again the Sarasota-Manatee area will become the capital of the sports world with its list of famous celebrities.
The event's three honored guests are college hall of fame coaches Bobby Bowden and Jim Calhoun and current University of Kansas basketball coach Bill Self, who this week signed the top-rated high school prospect in North America in Toronto's Andrew Wiggins.
Bowden and Calhoun are cancer survivors who took nondescript programs and turned them into national powerhouses. They are both retired, but their names draw huge crowds wherever they go.
Bowden had an incredible run of more than 30 years when he made Florida State a perennial football power and won two national titles. Calhoun won three national championships for a University of Connecticut men's basketball program that had been mired in mediocrity before his arrival.
Vitale has a few special guests planned, too.
He will have Michigan State junior forward Adreian Payne and his friend, 7-year-old Lacey Holsworth, in attendance. Holsworth has
cancer and is scheduled to have a bone-marrow transplant soon. She has become close with Payne over the past year and met Vitale before the Indiana-Michigan State game in February.
"She just got clearance to join us," Vitale said. "I guarantee there won't be a dry eye in the place."
The guest includes a who's who from the basketball world. Joining Calhoun and Self will be current college coaches Steve Alford (UCLA), Mike Brey (Notre Dame), John Calipari (Kentucky), Tom Crean (Indiana), Billy Donovan (Florida), Joe Dooley (FGCU), Andy Enfield (USC, former FGCU), Mike Gottfried (NC State), Tom Izzo (Michigan State), Jim Larranaga (Miami), Kevin Ollie (Connecticut) and Jay Wright (Villanova).
Local guests include USF head football coach Willie Taggart, Manatee head football coach Joe Kinnan, Peter Warrick, Tyrone Williams, former NBA ref Bob Delaney, Nick Bollettieri and Todd Johnson.
Others expected to be there include Nick Anderson (former Orlando Magic player), Jon Cooper (Tampa Bay Lightning head coach), Warrick Dunn (former FSU, Tampa Bay Bucs and Atlanta Falcons), Jimbo Fisher (FSU head football coach), Doug Martin (Tampa Bay Bucs running back), Leslie Visser (ESPN), Dereck Whittenburg (star of N.C. State's national title team under Valvano).
"It's going to be a great night for a great cause," Vitale said. "We are honoring three of the greatest coaches of all time, including Bobby and Jim, who battled cancer the way they coached. Our goal is to announce we broke the $10 million mark for fundraising. It's something I didn't think would happen when started this eight years ago in my home."

Vodafone in the lead as shares sprint higher
by Chris Marshall on Feb 06, 2014 at 15:36
Share investors brushed aside inaction from the European Central Bank and took their cue from company earnings releases and US data to rally for a second day.
'We are willing and we are ready to act,' promised Mario Draghi, even as the European Central Bank he leads resisted any change to its monetary policy, defying some expectations of further efforts to boost the euro bloc economy.
The euro leapt, up 0.56% to $1.3603, as investors lamented that the bank was merely kicking the can down the road again. The ECB still expects a gradual recovery and a prolonged period of low inflation, Draghi said.
'In our view, only a significant increase in money market tensions and/or a worsening of the medium-term inflation outlook will trigger further action', summed up Carsten Brzeski of ING Bank.
The pound saw no such action, unmoved at $1.6318 after the Bank of England also kept its monetary policy stance unchanged. The bank didn't offer any updates on its forward guidance policy, under which it will consider raising rates once unemployment falls to 7%. The unexpectedly rapid decline in unemployment to 7.1% means the City expects Bank governor Mark Carney to backtrack on his plans, possibly revealing a change of heart in next week's inflation report.
Stock markets seemed happy enough with the outcome of the day's monetary policy dabbling though, with the FTSE 100 rallying 1.5% higher to 6,550, matching gains on the pan-European Eurofirst 300, and ahead of a 0.7% rise for the US S&P 500.
Emerging markets – the source of much market angst so far this year – fared better too, with Brazil's Bovespa rallying 2.2%.
A report showing US claims for unemployment benefits declined last week helped the mood on equity markets.
Vodafone was the top riser, up 3.6% at 224p (see morning report).
Vodafone, Hargreaves at forefront of FTSE rally (10:15)Vodafone was among the top risers on a resurgent FTSE 100, as investors looked on the bright side ahead of major central bank policy decisions today and US jobs data tomorrow.
Lagging other European indices slightly, the UK's benchmark listing was up 0.6% at 6,495, heading for its second day higher after five straight days of losses.
The European-wide rally comes amid growing expectations that the European Central Bank may at least hint at new policy measures today, if not actually put them into motion this month. The Bank of England on the other hand is unlikely to do anything new.
Company earnings reports were also providing a lift to markets, that seem to have at least temporarily put aside their jitters over the state of emerging economies as US monetary policy is reduced.
In London Vodafone reported a 4.8% decline in organic service revenue in the three months to the end of December. But despite still 'difficult' conditions in Europe, chief executive Vittorio Colao was 'optimistic' that revenues would improve.
That was enough for most investors, who pushed the shares up 2.9% to 222p. But some City scribblers remained downbeat after 18 months of falling revenues at Vodafone.
We further remain concerned that VOD still faces competitive threats across many of its European markets,' commented Robert Grindle, an analyst at Espirito Santo, who would 'prefer to see the shares cheaper before becoming more positive'.
Hargreaves Lansdown recovered some of Wednesday's sharp share price fall, rising 2.7% to £13.82. the financial services provider had yesterday reported a dip in profit margins, alongside a decision to repeal a proposed charge for customers with investment trusts.
Jason Streets, an analyst at Jefferies, downgraded Hagreaves from 'buy' to 'hold'.
'HL's shares have performed strongly as the market has become more comfortable about RDR2….Nevertheless there is no longer sufficient upside for a Buy
'Before we become more positive again on the shares we would like to see that customer acquisition growth is not impacted by the price changes.
Not all the corporate news was good. AstraZeneca fell 3% to £37.60 after forecasting worse declines in profits and sales than analysts had been expecting.
And overnight Twitter, which listed on the stock market to much fanfare three months ago, reported a loss of $654 million for 2013.
1 comment so far. Why not have your say?
Feb 06, 2014 at 11:46
At 40x earnings and facing the collapse of revenue from its legacy business in April 2016, this is truly the HL "reality distortion field" at work.
I'm worried now.
It is a great service for investors, but when (not IF) the share price finally reflects the intrinsic value of the business (12x or 15x earnings), what will the impact be on the continuity of that service?
I hope it is as easy to transfer away as it was to transfer in...report this

(NECN: Peter Howe, Boston) - Mass. public health officials Thursday sounded an alarming warning to doctors across the country: Until further notice, do not use any medications made by New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass.
The warning doesn't apply just to an NECC steroid product for spinal-pain relief that's been linked to an outbreak of fungal meningitis that's killed five people and sickened over two dozen more in six states, but to all of the dozens of products made by NECC.
Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health said at a late-afternoon press conference the company's cooperating with investigators, has agreed to relinquish its pharmacy license, and is working to recall all of its products.
Biondolillo said investigators have identified three lots of NECC steroids, totaling 17,676 one-dose vials, that were shipped out between July and September that may be contaminated. The medication is called preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate.
Officials are focusing on a common fungus called aspergillus – it's typically in mold that grows on bread – which is harmless to humans if it stays outside your body, but if it gets into medication injected in your spinal column or brain, can cause deadly fungal meningitis. (Unlike bacterial or viral meningitis, fungal can't be transmitted from person to person and isn't contagious, but can be just as deadly.)
In New England, officials believe the tainted medication was shipped to clinics and centers in Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, but not Maine, Massachusetts or Vermont. Pain Care LLC of Merrimack and Somersworth, N.H., said Thursday it was in the process of reaching out to 186 people treated with the NECC product who may be at risk.
Doctors say people who have had injections of the NECC steroid for back pain who are experiencing severe headache, nausea, dizziness or fever should be in contact with their doctor immediately.

The Director of the Milwaukee County Department on Aging, Stephanie Stein, says the community is a national leader in programs and services for older adults.
Loneliness can be one of the most troublesome aspects of aging. Gina Botshtein of Jewish Family Services says agency staff carefully screen those they serve to identify how well they're connecting with family and friends.
Anne Basting is the Director and Tom Fritsch is the Associate Director of the Center on Age and the Community at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. They talk with Mitch Teich about the different strategies to stave off cognitive decline and how there is now some optimism that the mental decline of old age need not be a rapid phenomenon.
Commentator Mel Miskimen is an award-winning writer, author, playwright, and a regular contributor to Lake Effect. She explores another angle to aging and being well.
Dr. Julie Bonner is the executive director of the Norris Health Center at UW-Milwaukee and the campus health officer. She tells Lake Effect's Stephanie Lecci that, unfortunately, she thinks that most young adults aren't thinking about preparing themselves health-wise for when they get older.
Gail Konop Baker's book is called Cancer is a Bitch, or, I'd Rather Be Having a Midlife Crisis, published by Da Capo Press. Baker lives in Madison. First she speaks with Mitch Teich about her experience with breast cancer and then we hear a reading from her book.
As we age, thoughts of staying physically healthy and financially independent become more important. But for some older adults, mental illness can rob them of a healthy future. As part of our Project Milwaukee series on aging and wellness, WUWM's Susan Bence meets with older individuals dealing with depression.
Keith Bender is an associate professor of economics at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who specializes in the economics of aging. He discusses with Lake Effect's Mitch Teich the economic realities of living longer.
Dr. Shaili Jain is a psychiatrist with Aurora Behavioral Health Services, a professor of psychiatry at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and a regular contributor to Lake Effect. She wrote a book about the relationship between physicians and drug companies, and she maintains a website about doctors' bedside manners. She tells Mitch Teich about a new model, called the Medical Home Model, which seeks to address both the primary care shortage- and the issue of coordinating care among a patient's continuum of providers.
Lake Effect contributor Judy Steininger is a Professor Emerita at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where she teaches chemistry and literature classes. In her personal essay, she is thinking aloud about the end result of aging, and what it means for the here and now.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. — When London resident Derrick Noe entered a talent contest sponsored by his company, he never dreamed he would be the recipient of the grand prize for an international competition.
The full-time traveling music minister won the "Serco's Got Talent" competition - American division that includes contestants from North America and South America. The competition was held in Washington D.C., and Noe placed in the Top 4, earning a spot at the international competition in London, England.
While in England, Noe met with his coaches, Carrie and David Grant, who have worked with music legends such as Michael Jackson, The Spice Girls, Gwyneth Paltrow and many others.
"They are probably the best known vocal coaches in England," Noe said. "They just took me under their wing and, even now, we keep in touch with each other."
During the international singing competition, Noe took the top spot in the Americas division with his contemporary gospel vocals, placing second overall. His prize included a trophy and $5,000 cash.
"I am so thankful for the opportunity God has given me," Noe said. "A big door has opened for me. It was a blessing."
Despite his win in the competition, Noe said he entered the contest with some apprehension.
"There were dancers, singers — of all different styles. It was unbelievable the talent that was in the competition," he added.
The talent competition was just one phase of the trip to England — which was Noe's first time overseas.
"Just to experience that and do what I love to do across the world is amazing," Noe said. "I've spent my entire life singing. My wife and I travel full time and minister in music. I do not preach, my wife and I sing."
Originally from Tennessee, Noe has lived in London for the past eight years and is employed by Serco. He and his wife, Taylor, travel to share their ministry through musical performances and spread God's love. Noe plays piano and guitar while Taylor contributes her talents on the saxophone, bass guitar, electric guitar and piano.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — It was the middle of August, but Oklahoma defensive tackle Jordan Phillips sensed his career was at a crossroads when he sat down for a talk with defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery.
The redshirt sophomore had been at OU for two years and made a minimal impact during that period. Whether or not he would ever make more of one was riding on what he did in preseason camp.
"He sat me down and we discussed my goals and I what I wanted to do here," Phillips said. "He said if I keep playing the way I'd been playing I wouldn't accomplish anything I wanted to do. If I wanted to do what I wanted to do I had to suck it up."
That was a little over a month ago. About two weeks before Phillips became OU's starting nose guard. About three weeks before he made his first career start and about 35 days prior to his first career sack in last Saturday's 51-20 victory over Tulsa.
The play of the entire defensive line has been a stunning surprise through the first three games, but the play of Phillips, in particular, has been essential to the group's elevated play.
Statistically, a nose guard's play is hard to quantify. They get double-teamed on virtually every play. Offensive play-callers learned long before games were ever filmed that plays where the nose guard is not blocked have the same chance of success as boats with holes or planes without wings.
But what good nose guards do is open up plays for the rest of the front seven. They collapse pockets, so quarterbacks are flushed into the arms of defensive ends. They clog up holes between centers and guards forcing plays further outside into the path of defensive ends who aren't being double-teamed. They occupy centers and guards to the point linebackers are untouched by offensive linemen.
"It has freed us up pretty good," OU linebacker Corey Nelson said, "but he's also been making the plays."
It's what OU's coaching staff hoped they'd get from Phillips when they signed him back in 2011 out of Circle High School in Towanda, Kan. Physically, there wasn't much he couldn't do. The jaws of his fellow linemen dropped when the 6-foot-6, 320-pound Phillips did a back flip in practice one day. Men that big just don't typically move in that manner.
Montgomery saw the athletic ability when he took over as defensive line coach last winter. He quickly figured out what needed to change with Phillips was his motor. He took plays off and it was leaving a lot of potential stuck in reserve.
It required some tough love.
"You know, the way I look at it is, I put my foot on his throat every single day,"Montgomery said. "Because the minute you let up … you give him an inch, he's gonna take a foot."
Montgomery set only one simple goal for Phillips during that August chat: play hard every single snap. Accomplish that one goal and everything else will take care of itself.
"It flipped the switch for me to hear from a new guy that just came in," Phillips said. "I knew I wasn't doing what I needed to do."
Through the first three games, Phillips has. The Sooner defense looks, acts and plays like a different group than last season because of it.
Defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said from the outset that this group needed defensive linemen to become playmakers if it wanted to make drastic improvement.
Well, the Sooners are 14th in the country in total defense — 50 spots higher than they finished last season. All the credit shouldn't go to OU's big man in the middle, but he's part of it. And OU expects him to keep getting better.
"He's really come on maturity-wise and with his desire to get better and be a dominating player," Stoops said. "That's what has given him a chance to make an impact on games and to make plays. He's a very athletic guy that has a really bright future."

Wes Lunt made his triumphant return Saturday for the Oklahoma State football team.
And while he looked shaky in the early going against Texas Christian University, he found a groove in the second half to help the Cowboys pull away for a 36-14 victory at Boone Pickens Stadium.
"(Lunt) got better as it went on. I think his confidence is good. He's very level headed," OSU coach Mike Gundy said. "He's a very cerebral young man, and I don't think he doubted himself. I just think it's human nature and he had to grow into it. He got hit a few times and realized it was going to be OK."
Lunt's first pass in over a month was a pick-six for the TCU defense when Lunt threw just behind Josh Stewart, who was unable to make a play on a ball that was intercepted by TCU's Elisha Olabode.
On the ensuing kickoff, Justin Gilbert got the ball out near midfield but was stripped of the ball and the Horned Frogs recovered. The OSU defense held strong, however, and forced its third straight punt by the TCU offense to open the contest.
With the Oklahoma State offense struggling to pick up a first down, the defense was forced right back out onto the field and the Horned Frogs marched down the field with an 83-yard touchdown drive that consumed three minutes off the clock.
But that would be the only score given up by OSU's defense, which would force TCU to punt for more times — eight drives in total — and ended the game with three consecutive takeaways.
"They just didn't panic and I was really, really proud of that," defensive coordinator Bill Young said. "Any time you get down, you're always concerned that somebody's going to start pouting or not perform the way they need to or give up. And we didn't have any of that."
Oklahoma State's offense finally got going on the next drive, but as has been the problem the last few games, they could not finish in the red zone — settling for a 22-yard field goal from Quinn Sharp. The field goal was set up by a flea-flicker in which Lunt hooked up with Austin Hays for a 41-yard gain down to the TCU 7-yard line.
Joseph Randle nearly had Oklahoma State's first touchdown of the game on a double pass play to Blake Jackson, but it was called back on a holding call. And just like OSU's two previous trips deep into TCU territory, it ended in a field goal from Sharp.
Oklahoma State finally claimed the first TD with 7:29 left in the third quarter when Gundy gambled on a fourth-and-inches at the goal line, and it paid off with a touchdown run by Jeremy Smith, his first since Week 2 against Arizona.
"In most cases with our offense and where we are at right now, you almost have to kick the field goal, but I got tired of kicking field goals," Gundy said. "We're not very good at third and short, and we're not very good at fourth and short. We have to be better on the goal line or even up on the field. ...
"They wanted to go for it. I've been talked into it before and it did not work, but I got talked into it again by the players. Jeremy got downhill, and it was kind of a turning point. We needed to start to take control in those types of situations."
The Cowboys followed with another touchdown drive, going 80 yards in just more than a minute with Lunt — who appeared shaky early — connected on three passes for all 80 yards. The drive was capped on a touchdown toss to Charlie Moore on a third-and-10 play from the TCU 20-yard line.
"Wes looked like he hadn't missed a beat, making some big throws," said Moore, who found the end zone for the third straight week. "It was huge to see him put some throws together and drive down the field like that."
Lunt lead the Cowboy offense on two more scoring drives — both taking 10 or more plays — but again they ended with field goals. For the game, Oklahoma State scored in all eight trips to the red zone, however, five of them were just field goals.
OSU's final score of the game came on a 1-yard touchdown run by Randle in the final two minutes, which was set up by an interception from Daytawion Lowe.
"He just hung it up there. I was back there. Our coaches always talk about playing the ball when it's in the air, and I was just playing the ball," said Lowe, who was brought down at the goal line.
Randle finished with 126 yards on 32 carries (a season high in attempts) for his sixth 100-yard game of the season. OSU finished with 147 yards rushing against a TCU defense that was giving up an average of 101.5 yards rushing in conference play — the best rush defense in the Big 12.

Vigil held for mother, twin sons killed in house fire near San Antonio
Family remembers three killed in fire on Old Pearsall Road
BEXAR COUNTY, Texas - Hundreds of family and friends turned out for a vigil Tuesday evening at the site where 31-year-old Roxanne Moreno-Ordonez and her 14-month-old boys Orlin and Daniel died in a house fire on Monday.
Smoke still smoldered in a corner of the land where three homes once stood. It was the first time since the fire that anyone other than investigators was allowed on the property.
"To be able to see up close and personal the damage and know that three precious lives were lost here, it seems more real for you," said Debbie Jo Fonseca, a second cousin of Roxanne's.
"It's just unbelievable to have our cousin who was very young and her two babies pass away like they did," said Roxanne's first cousin David Prouty.
As the sun continued to set, the crowd continued to grow, reaching close to 200 people by nightfall.
"I know we expected great community support. Having grown up in this area, everyone's real close here in Southwest area but the outpouring is pretty amazing," said Fonseca.
Father James Janish of Our Lady Queen of Heaven in Macdona led the rosary as well as speaking to the crowd.
"So many times and especially tonight, we're reduced to silence," said Janish. "There is not a lot of explanations we can give."
"We all have questions, 'what could have been done, what could have changed or how could we have helped out?'" said Prouty. "I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and in the midst of it God's in control."
Sources told KSAT that several witnesses told law enforcement that they saw someone burning trash outside one of the homes that caught fire Monday.
Investigators have not determined a cause and are looking into trash burning as a possibility.
The family has set up an account for anyone wishing to donate to help with funeral costs. People interested in helping can go to or call any Wells Fargo branch and provide donations to the account set up in the name of Roxanne's mother, Vangie Chaires.

So…I just signed up for Twitter. I love the question Eric Echols (children's guy at 12Stone Church) wrote on Facebook: "Is twitter a new form of connectedness, a tool for community, or is it simply fueling our culture's narcissism?"
I guess I'll find out. I can't believe anyone is that interested in the minutiae of my life. (I had to look up how to spell minutiae, by the way, and I misspelled dictionary trying to get to dictionary.com–might be time to call it a day!)

Re: Heres an idea!iRSCAR Jan 27, 2012 12:33 PM (in response to CowboySr)
yeah this was more or less aimed toward the people who cry "op gunz" on every cod that they release. i do agree with your reply good sir
Re: Heres an idea!CowboySr Jan 27, 2012 12:36 PM (in response to iRSCAR)
I hate people screaming OP. If something is OP by all means prove it and use it. Thats what Ive always done. Just like my WAW MP40!
Re: Heres an idea!9blackguys Jan 27, 2012 12:36 PM (in response to iRSCAR)
That quote just screams one of my friend's attitude toward the T-95, he thinks its cheap as hell and its funny to watch him berserk over dying by it.
Re: Heres an idea!iRSCAR Jan 27, 2012 12:41 PM (in response to 9blackguys)
i honestly think 'most' guns have their ups and downs. Good example is i love the scar, but more people seem to like the acr. both are good, but i like the scar more. Its not the guns that are the problems, its the players.
Re: Heres an idea!c4rl Jan 27, 2012 12:51 PM (in response to CowboySr)
Boy oh boy that sounds like fun. I can't wait to stare at the t95 and akimbo fmgs all year... Derp. Are you kidding? Variety is the spice of life, and mw3 is really close to making it viable to use all the guns and remain competitive. Why would you not want to help work towards that?
Re: Heres an idea!Missing Snorlax Jan 27, 2012 12:45 PM (in response to iRSCAR)
No lol the guns in MW3 already kill insanely fast.
Some guns really are "OP"
The akimbo machine pistols should not be that dead accurate or have damage that high.
The Type 95 is strong but it's also a three round burst guns requiring some sort of accuracy so eh.
The Striker isn't "OP" but the thing is it's so much better than the other shotguns that in its class it really should be considered "OP" because there's no reason to use any shotgun BUT the striker. You can't say that about any other weapon class.
The MP40 outclassed all guns in the game. Add ext mags, juggo and steady aim, there's no reason not to use it. That gun is one of three guns I'd place the "OP" title on lol
Pre patch 1887s
Akimbo FMGs
To say those guns aren't a tad bit "OP" probably just means you're missing a few brain cells.
Most of the times I hear people whine OP it's usually because they died. Hell, I've heard people call the AA12 and FAD OP. That's just ridiculous.
Re: Heres an idea!iRSCAR Jan 27, 2012 12:50 PM (in response to Missing Snorlax)
i liked most the shottys on mw2. i wouldnt mind the mw2 spaz, that thing kicked ass, along with the aa12,. both great guns, but had thier own advantages. Shotguns could use a lil bit of a damage boost, but im indifferent. WaW's guns ALL sucked, except the mp40. I stayed on cod4 til mw2 honestly lol.
Re: Heres an idea!CowboySr Jan 27, 2012 12:50 PM (in response to Missing Snorlax)
So if its OP, and you both use it, its no longer OP. Why wouldnt you use whatever the best gun is in the game? You can debate all day long over which is the best. Use your best gun! I dont feel sorry for these little kiddies that cry cause they got killed by a type95 when they were running around trying to QS for their montage. No such thing as OP anything. If its good , use it, and stop making IW mess with the guns. Id like to see them fix the lag and get a clan challenge together by the end of the year instead.
Re: Heres an idea!Missing Snorlax Jan 27, 2012 1:53 PM (in response to CowboySr)
With that mentality you might as well give everyone one gun and one set of perks.
The point of having so many guns is to give us variety. If one gun outclasses all others that gun should be looked at.
All guns are meant to perform within certain boundaries. When one gun transcends those boundaries it starts being looked at as "OP". The FMGs are secondary machine pistols, but they're often used as primaries and can outperform all SMGs even though they're not supposed to. FMGs can outperform ARs in some cases. They out class all shotguns. Hell, when one set of guns can take out a juggo in one clip there is definitely some balance issues. Not a single assault rifle can take out a juggo in one clip. There is no reason why a secondary should be stronger than the majority of primaries. If you can't see why the FMGs are "OP" there is something wrong with you.
No one should be forced to play one way simply because it's the best. I personally don't die to FMGs often because I keep my distance, but it's painfully obvious that they're way too good. The obvious counter to FMGs is a slower distanced playstyle, but if everyone adapted this then you'd be on here whining about how slow the game plays.
By the way, don't group all players together. I don't QS, hell I can't stand snipers in general. They hardly ever contribute to the team and I'm big on team work.
As for the T95 and Striker, I can see where people come from but I don't believe either of them are "OP". The Striker is "OP" within its class, but not when compared to the rest of the guns.
Re: Heres an idea!CowboySr Jan 27, 2012 2:25 PM (in response to Missing Snorlax)
@Missing Snorlax- well if you make all the guns the same power, then it might as well be the same gun. We can go around and around forever, but the guns all act differently at different ranges. They have a diff mobility. Im sure if we took 30 guns in real life and had 100000 people run around that one particular gun would prevail. I know Id want the best gun there too. in the end the best person wins cause they give themselves the best possibility to have an advantage against their enemy. Its a shooting competition. Would you wear your construction boots in the 100 meter dash?
Re: Heres an idea!JrodMidion Jan 27, 2012 12:54 PM (in response to Missing Snorlax)
Yea the FAD is my gun of choice next to the MK14. I have heard people telling me that I was a camper, glitching, aim botting, and a host of other hilarious monickers. I can't help I have better aim than them. I usually have to put 2-3 bullets in some one with MK14 and with the FAD it's at least half a clip unless I get a head shot. Neither of these guns are overpowered. I would say the range on some of the shot guns are ridiculous though. The striker and 1887 have ridiculous killing power. I have been at least 50 ft away and died. It seems to resemble the shotgun attachment for AR's in BLOP's.
Re: Heres an idea!9blackguys Jan 27, 2012 1:02 PM (in response to JrodMidion)
I remember when someone said (pre-patch) that my AA-12 was "hacked" and that it's overpowered.
Like someone else said, most people will complain about anything they die by, especially if they die by it repeatedly.

Many more languages are spoken in the country besides, from Greek to Gujarati and a number of local creoles and pidgins. There are, however, some sayings that are commonly used and understood across our country, despite (or perhaps because of) its polyglot nature. Here's a brief introduction to some South Africanisms adapted from local languages.

What to see in French Alps
French Alps Attractions
There is plenty to see and do in the French Alps but people cannot be blamed for thinking first of the amazing skiing and snowboarding opportunities in the region. Other attractions in the French Alps include pretty medieval towns, spa facilities, freshwater lakes and a number of historical sightseeing opportunities.
Aix-les-Bains and Evian-les-Bains are both very popular resort towns in the French Alps. Aix-les-Bains is a spa town, located on the banks of Lac du Bourget, loved for its thermal springs, and Evian-les-Bains, situated on the southern tip of Lake Geneva, is famous for its mineral water. Both are hotspots for healthy spa holidays and offer a variety of outdoor activities among other things. Annecy is also a popular lake-side village, often called 'the Venice of the Alps' in tribute to its picturesque canals. Annecy is a good base for hikers as there are so many spectacular trails in the Haute-Savoie region.
Another hikers' paradise is the mountain village of Briançon, the highest town in Europe, which boasts a lovely historical old town in addition to its natural splendours. Some of the ski resorts are also perfect bases for hikers and climbers in the summer months and two of the best for this purpose are Chamonix and Samoëns. Samoëns is one of the smaller French ski resorts and is a pretty medieval village which has been declared an historical monument.
Grenoble, the biggest city in the region, is also a good base for active excursions into the countryside as this beautiful city is surrounded by dramatic mountains and valleys. Grenoble is a vibrant university city which dates back over 2,000 years and offers great sightseeing options for tourists, including some interesting museums.

Next year is almost here. In 2012, we're all going to eat better, exercise more, quit those nasty habits, crack down on our children and whip our household into shape, right?
Yawn. If you're like me, the holiday festivities have you let you whooped on. The last thing you need is another action-packed to-do-list. So here, as my gift to you, are a few lazy, easy suggestions for winding down the old year, so you can start the new one fresh and refreshed.
1. Have a Pajama Playdate with Your Kids: Winter Break means no getting up for school, no rushing off to activities and no homework, so why not spend a whole day putzing around in your pajamas? Get on the floor and play with your kids. Believe it or not, they'll enjoy your undivided attention even more than all their new toys. Bond over that brand new Wii, a board game or some crafts, and make up for all the time you haven't had together since the school year started. You'll feel less guilty on Jan. 2 when you're ready to shove 'em back out the door and drop them off early at school.
2. Eat Everything in Sight: You want to be healthier in 2012, right? Then you've got to get all that junk out of the house. Sure, you could just chuck it, but that would be wasteful. You're better off having one last hurrah, indulging in your favorite forbidden foods before you swear 'em off for good. A week of pigging out is fun, plus, after all that junk, you'll be jonesing for salads by Jan. 1.
3. Take a Week Off of Working Out: With the kids home, it's hard to find time to exercise anyway so why not give put your bootcamp on winter break? Serious body builders do this every few months, scheduling in a recovery week, where they avoid the gym. This lets their muscles rest so they can grow, and gives them a needed mental break from the daily rigors of intense training. Give yourself a little downtime too, and you'll be ready to return in January in fighting form. Which is good, because this is the month gyms are most crowded, and you'll need your strength to beat everyone out to a treadmill.
4. Do One Thing You've Been Dying to Get to: Nothing's more stressful than the pressure we put on ourselves to do it all. Pick one thing on your list you've been putting off, whether it's phoning an old friend, organizing your photos, or taking the kids to NYC, and make it happen this week. You'll gain the satisfaction of checking it off your list, and it's one less thing you'll feel guilty about in 2012.
5. Write Lots of Checks. It's the last 7 days you can write "2011", so why not write it on all the checks you can? Pay off those x-mas bills, clean off your desk and start the year fresh, without debt. It's the one little bit of household organizing you can actually do from the comfort of your couch. Preferably in pajamas. See above.
6. See Long Lost Friends. Pick 2 or 3 friends you didn't see enough of this year and invite them over for a designated day of catch up. Keep it easy with take-out, and polish off the leftover holiday wine and treats. While you're together you can sync up your calendars and make plans to see more of each other next year.
7. Stage a Movie Marathon. Pick a handful of films you missed this past year, rent from Red Box or your library, and watch one a night over the break. Or do a marathon of movies from morning 'til night, only taking breaks to hit the bathroom and let the pizza delivery guy in.
8. Clean Out the Toy Box. You've got to make room for all the new crap, I mean stuff, anyway, so why not bag up all the old toys for donation? Your kids will be so busy playing with this year's gifts, they won't even notice their Tickle-Me-Elmo or other forgotten faves have gone missing. Bring everything to the Salvation Army, or even better, schedule a Lupus pick-up. You can put the bags out on your doorstep after the kids go to bed and they'll be none the wiser.
9. Resolve to Have More Fun as a Family. Resolutions don't just have to be about deprivation and discipline. Gather your family and brainstorm positive changes everyone wants to see in the New Year. Designate a family game night or vow to go biking more often. Let everyone offer up ideas, vote on the winners, and vow to make it happen in 2012. Resolutions are easier to keep if they're a group effort, and making them fun is the world's best incentive.
Happy Winter Break to All! See you Next Year!
