Michigan State GOP Awards Romney At-Large Delegates
Rick Santorum's camp furious over change in delegate rules.
The Michigan Republican party officially awarded Mitt Romney the victory in their state's primary contest on Thursday. Romney, who took the popular vote in Michigan by just under 40,000 votes, won the state delegate count 16-14 over Rick Santorum.
[See pictures of the 2012 GOP candidates.]
The day after the vote, Santorum expressed that he believed Michigan's delegates would be split, 15-15, because both he and Romney won seven of Michigan's congressional districts. In the end, it wasn't so simple.
According to state GOP rules, each of Michigan's 14 districts is worth two delegates, leaving another two that are considered "at-large." There was confusion over how those two delegates would be awarded, as initially the state GOP said they would be awarded proportionally according to the statewide vote. That would have resulted in the tie Santorum thought was coming.
In an e-mail to reporters, Santorum's communications director Hogan Gidley expressed the campaign's frustration with the results.
[Santorum Blames Early Ballots for Michigan Loss.]
"We've all heard rumors that Mitt Romney was furious that he spent a fortune in his home state, had all the political establishment connections and could only manage a tie Rick Santorum," Gidley says. "But we never thought the Romney campaign would try to rig the outcome of an election by changing the rules after the vote. This kind of back room dealing and political thuggery just cannot and should not happen in America."
According to the Associated Press, last night the Michigan Republican Party Credentials Committee decided to change the way the state would award the at-large delegates. In a 4-2 vote, they gave both to Romney. Matt Frendewey, director of communications for the Michigan Republican Party, told NBC today that the at-large delegate confusion is the result of a penalty from the Republican National Committee. The RNC will only allow 30 delegates from Michigan because the state decided to hold their nominating contest before March 1, the earliest date the RNC said they were allowed to hold a vote.
"The two RNC recognized delegates are assigned to the candidate that wins the most votes," Frendewey said.

One resourceful collector came back with a jackpot of more yardage from an estate sale that she went to 15 years ago!

Karl Rove praises Obama's choices says they are "Reassuring."
When President-elect Barack Obama's economic transition team met this month, everyone was there -- inflation fighters, business leaders, union firebrands and leftist economists -- creating confusion about where the new administration was headed.
Mr. Obama's announcement of his economic team on Monday provided surprisingly positive clarity. He picked as Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, the respected, soft-spoken New York Fed president. Mr. Geithner has been a key player with Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke in confronting the financial crisis. Every major decision in the rescue effort came only after the three agreed.
The National Economic Council director-designee, Larry Summers, is another solid pick. Mr. Summers has been an advocate for trade liberalization, he was the Clinton administration's negotiator for the financial deregulation known as Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and he even attempted to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the 1990s.
Mr. Obama also named a respected monetary expert -- Christina Romer -- to head up his Council of Economic Advisors. On Tuesday he selected a first-rate thinker, Peter Orszag, to be director of the White House's Office of Management and Budget.
The only troubling personnel note was Melody Barnes as Domestic Policy Council director. Putting a former aide to Ted Kennedy in charge of health policy after tapping universal health-care advocate Tom Daschle to be Health and Human Services secretary sends a clear signal that Mr. Obama didn't mean it when his campaign ads said he wouldn't run to the "extremes" with government-run health care.
He did not reduce confusion on a Detroit bailout by saying he supported a "sustainable auto industry." America already has that in 69 foreign-owned auto plants that employ 92,700 Americans. The question is this: Does Mr. Obama want a sustainable U.S.-owned auto industry? If so, will he require changes in the Big Three's management, labor agreements and cost structure in return for aid? All he'd say Monday was that the industry needed to develop a plan.
And despite the president-elect's declaration Monday that "we have a consensus, which is pretty rare, between conservative and liberal economists," there is no agreement about the elements of a stimulus package.
Stanford economist Michael Boskin reminds us that conservatives favor permanent, or long-lived, measures to revive the economy -- incentives like lower income-tax rates, actions to speed recovery of capital costs like bonus depreciation, and steps with an immediate effect on job creation such as cuts in corporate tax rates.
So far, Mr. Obama has only offered unspecified subsidies for "green jobs" and infrastructure spending. Politicians like infrastructure spending because it gives them something concrete to point to. But though Japan spent $516 billion on infrastructure in the 1990s, it didn't stimulate their economy. What makes Mr. Obama think it will work in America? The reason infrastructure is a poor stimulant is that there is a long lag time between project approval and when dollars actually get spent, even for projects on the drawing board.
Mr. Obama suggests that giving consumers up to $500 (his "tax cut for 95% of Americans") will stimulate consumption. Congressional Democrats have demanded rebates like this for people who don't pay income taxes in every stimulus package -- with negligible results. As Harvard economist Martin Feldstein pointed out in these pages in August, a mere 10% to 20% of this year's rebate was spent.
During the campaign, Mr. Obama defined madness as "doing the same things over and over again and expecting something different." He should take those words to heart in preparing his stimulus package
Mr. Obama has less than a month to work out the dimensions of the stimulus and auto legislation he wants passed before his Jan. 20 inauguration. If he continues to hesitate, Congress will give him a mish-mash of spending, rebates, subsidies and pork that won't create the 2.5 million jobs in two years he promises. Congress is hard to stop from budgetary excesses in ordinary times. And these are not ordinary times.
After hearing Mr. Obama's campaign attacks on "the swelling budget deficit," it is jarring to hear him now suggest the deficit will need to be larger to accommodate more spending. He has to be mindful that voters have not been prepared for the numbers now being thrown around.
But, overall, Monday's announcement of Mr. Obama's economic team was reassuring. He's generally surrounded himself with intelligent, mainstream advisers. Investors, workers and business owners can only hope that, over time, this new administration's economic policies bear more of their market-oriented imprint.

K1 Speed Ontario Challenge GP 2 2K13 – Season 2
The Ontario Challenge GP was this past Sunday night, with 8 fierce competitors ready to battle it out. Robert Hernandez was able to grab the pole position for the A Main, with a fast lap of 52.017. Qualifying was very smooth, with everyone putting in their all to post the fastest lap they could.
The Final started with Robert taking them down very slow for the start of the race and once the green flag flew, Robert never looked back and pulled away as soon as the rounded the first corner. The battle was on for the remaining seven positions, as all the competitors were nose to tail from 2nd to 8th. They continued to swap positions and really put on an exciting race for all the spectators in the building. After the 7 laps were complete, Robert took the checkered flag by 4.2 seconds over second place Daniel Murray. Sean Fite finished in third, Zackary St. Onge in forth, and Clay Trueman rounded out the top 5.
We look forward to seeing more new faces the next Challenge GP in Ontario on September 1st. Registration starts at 6:30pm and the racing starts at 7pm. See you next month!

K1 Speed Ontario Challenge GP 1 2K13 – Season 2
Sunday night was the first race of the new Challenge GP season in Ontario. We have a brand new track layout for the new season and had 18 racers come to try and start the season off with a win to start their championship battle. Qualifying had the usual regulars at the top of the board, with Bryce Raygor setting the fast lap for qualifying with a 50.171. Since we had such a large group for the first round of the season, the field was split in two for the final races.
The B Main started out with Chase Billings on the pole, who took the whole field very slow down for the rolling start to take the green flag. Clay Trueman, who started 4th, was able to time the start perfectly and got a great jump on third place, Sean Fite, and passed him cleanly into turn 1. The battles continued throughout the field, as Chase was on a mission to show he deserved to be at the top of the podium. After all 7 laps were complete, Chase took the checkered in first place by 5.3 seconds over second place Clay Trueman. Daniel Murray who started in fifth was able to claw himself up to 3rd place, with David Fancis Jr. in forth, and Sean Fite in fifth.
The A Main had a few new faces up towards the top of the lap chart, but Bryce was ready to take advantage of his top starting spot and show everyone why he finished towards the top of the points last season. Everyone started off very cleanly for the first lap or two and then the battles started to really show themselves, especially last year's points champion, Robert Hernandez, who started 8th in the final, slowly worked his way up towards the front of the pack. There was no stopping Bryce, who pulled a pretty sizeable lead from the start of the race and was able to maintain that for the entire race. Bryce ended up taking the checkered with a 5 second lead over second place Evan Sumpter. Robert Hernandez was able to gain five positions throughout the race and ended up in third, Trevor Teerlink in forth, and Kyle Luna in fifth.
We look forward to seeing more new faces the next Ontario Challenge GP on August 4th. Remember you can always come and practice the Supertrack in Ontario on Monday's! See you next month!
K1 Speed Ontario Jr. League Season 2 GP 1 Results
Our July Junior league begins the second season and sets the bar at an incredibly competitive level . With Seth at the pole and Luc and tucker eagerly waiting for their chance to make a pass as the green flag drops. All the racers are tightly packed for the first 5 laps, while Megan incredibly passes her way to fourth place all from the back in a matter of minutes. Positions remain till the 7th lap when tucker makes a very clean pass to first place on the last turn of the track. This pass is challenged at every turn following till the end of the race. Though Seth puts up a valiant effort he cannot make any successful passes to hold a position. A final push on the last lap brings Seth and tucker neck and neck as they approach the checkered line but tuckers able to squeak out the first by only 2 thousandths of a second!! Leaving Seth at the second position and Luc in third. This race determines the level of competition for the entire season and it proved to be an intense event. We appreciate everyone's participation and congratulate Tucker, Seth and Luc at their podium finish.
1st: Tucker Turner – 14pts

K1 Speed Ontario Jr. League GP 5 Results
Point totals are very close and anticipation is very high for the June installment of K1Speed Ontario's Junior league challenge. As the season finale Grand Prix begins our racers are very focused on their goals for the evening. With an additional qualifier at hand the competition is that much more intense as all of our racers fight for the pole. Luc Mayer comes out as the top qualifier for the first qualifying round with a time of 28.45, yet qualifying is not over! Even more desperate for top times, all of the racers lower their qualifying times in the second round, but Tucker Turner takes the cake with an amazing qualifying time of 27.49!!! After a short break our racers are ready for the final! Qualifying first, second and third is Tucker, Megan, and Luc followed by Seth and Dylan in fourth and fifth. At the drop of the green flag all of our racers are literally bumper to bumper for the first few laps. By the 4th lap, Dylan starts to fall a few seconds behind do to very small maneuvering errors, but the rest of the pack remains tightly packed with no passing opportunities. The race is uneventful till the 7th lap when Megan has a very clean opportunity to make an outside pass on Tucker to advance to first place. Noticing the threat tucker swings wide to block the lane, in doing so he and Megan both loose speed and create a wide open path for Luc and Seth to pass on the inside. This fatal error brings tucker to third and Megan to fourth, meanwhile giving Luc and Seth a fighting chance at the first and second position! In the remaining laps Megan and Tucker battle each other while trying to close the gap between each other and the leaders. With 5 laps left, Seth does everything in his power to make a clean pass on Luc, yet Luc's hard work holds strong through the finish line as he acquires his first Junior League Win! Following Luc, is Seth at Second and Tucker in Third as well as Megan and Dylan in fourth and fifth. A very exciting and eventful Season finale closes out a very exciting season for Ontario's Junior League! Much appreciation to the participation and sportsmanship throughout the season!
With the final scores gathered our totals bring Luc to third place for the entire season with a total of 34 points! With a total of 44 points Tucker proudly holds the second position for the season. By a mere 2 pints Seth McDonald hold First place for the first season of 2013 with a total of 46 points! Congratulations to our season winners and K1Speed Ontario anticipates an exciting new season beginning in August!

Recurrent Cervical Cancer
No standard treatment is available for patients with recurrent cervical cancer that has spread beyond the confines of a radiation or surgical field. For locally recurrent disease, pelvic exenteration can lead to a 5-year survival rate of 32% to 62% in selected patients.[1-3] These patients are appropriate candidates for clinical trials testing drug combinations or new anticancer agents.
The Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) has reported on several randomized phase III trials, (GOG-0179 [NCT00003945], GOG-0240 [NCT00803062]) in this setting. Single-agent cisplatin administered intravenously at 50 mg/m² every 3 weeks was the most-used regimen to treat recurrent cervical cancer since it was initially introduced in the 1970s.[4,5]
Various combinations containing cisplatin [4,5] failed to reach their primary endpoint of improving survival, however, a doubling of the cisplatin dose-rate did improve survival. Combinations with paclitaxel and with ifosfamide improved response rates (RR), but they did so at a cost of much greater toxicity, especially with the latter drug. A survival advantage over cisplatin was obtained with the cisplatin + topotecan (CT) doublet [5] leading to approval of this indication for topotecan by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, in this study, cisplatin underperformed because many patients had received this drug earlier as a radiosensitizer. (Refer to Stages IIA, IIB, III, and IVA for more information on chemoradiation and the drug cisplatin, in particular.) Therefore, cisplatin plus paclitaxel (CP) was the reference arm in GOG-0204 (NCT00064077).
The GOG has reported on sequential randomized trials dealing with chemotherapy for stage IVB, recurrent, or persistent cervical cancer.[5-9] In the initial trial, the primary endpoint of exceeding the survival observed with cisplatin alone was not reached. However, in these trials:
- The ifosfamide + cisplatin combination was superior to cisplatin alone in the secondary endpoint of RR but at the cost of increased toxicity.
- The paclitaxel + cisplatin (PC) combination, similarly, was superior in RR and progression-free survival (PFS), and its toxicity was similar to the single agent except in patients with GOG performance status 2 (scale: 0, asymptomatic–4, totally bedridden).
- The CT doublet combination had a significant advantage in overall survival (OS) compared with cisplatin alone, but cisplatin alone underperformed in this trial because as many as 40% of the patients had already received cisplatin up front as a radiosensitizer.
GOG-0204 enrolled 513 patients, leading to an early closure because no one experimental arm was likely to significantly lower the hazard ratio of death (HRdeath) relative to PC:1.15 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79–1.67) for vinorelbine + cisplatin (VC), 1.32 (95% CI, 0.91–1.92) for gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC), and 1.27 (95% CI, 0.90–1.78) for CT. Trend in RR, PFS, and OS favored CT.[10][Level of evidence: 1iiA] The patients in the various arms of the study differed in the extent of neutropenia, infection, and alopecia that they experienced,[10] but none of the patients in the study arms differed in health-related quality of life during treatment.[11] However, there were more neurologic side effects for PC.
Interim results for GOG-0240 (NCT00803062) were presented in abstract form and showed that 452 patients with stage IVB, recurrent, or persistent cervical cancer were randomly assigned to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy plus bevacizumab-containing regimens.[12] The chemotherapy regimens were cisplatin (50 mg/m2) plus paclitaxel (135–175 mg/m2) and topotecan (0.75 mg/m2 d1–d3) plus paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 d1). The bevacizumab dose was 15 mg/kg, and cycles were every 21 days unless toxicity, progression, or complete response were noted.
Preliminary results showed the topotecan-paclitaxel combination was not superior to the cisplatin-paclitaxel combination. The addition of bevacizumab led to improved median OS when compared with chemotherapy alone (17 months versus 13.3 months, respectively). The HRdeath was 0.71 when regimens were compared with and without bevacizumab [97.6% CI, 0.54–0.95; 1-sided P = .0035]. The bevacizumab-containing regimens were associated with more grade 3 or 4 bleeding, thrombosis and embolism, and gastrointestinal fistula.[12][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
Standard treatment options:
- For recurrence in the pelvis following radical surgery, radiation therapy in combination with chemotherapy (fluorouracil with or without mitomycin) may cure 40% to 50% of patients.[13]
- Chemotherapy can be used for palliation. Tested drugs include the following:
- Cisplatin (15%–25% RR).[6]
- Ifosfamide (15%–30% RR).[14,15]
- Paclitaxel (17% RR).[16]
- Irinotecan (21% RR in patients previously treated with chemotherapy).[17]
- Bevacizumab (11% RR, 24% survived progression free for at least 6 months; as seen in GOG-0227C [NCT00025233]).[18]
- Ifosfamide + cisplatin.[7,19]
Treatment options under clinical evaluation:
- New anticancer drugs in phase I and phase II clinical trials.

The N.C. High School Athletic Association is making exceptions to some of its rules because of this weeks wintry weather.
The NCHSAA prohibits Sunday play or practice but will allow regional wrestling tournaments to be held Sunday afternoon if needed. The regionals were scheduled for Friday and Saturday, but hazardous conditions might prevent Friday and Saturday competition.
The executive committee of the board of directors of the NCHSAA decided during a conference call Tuesday that all wrestling regionals must make every effort to avoid Sunday competition. As a last resort, however, the regionals may be held Sunday, beginning no earlier than 1 p.m.
The NCHSAA will have to approve any regional on Sunday, though.
Wrestlers will have a limitation of five matches per day.
The NCHSAA also will allow schools to play four basketball games next week. The teams may not play on Feb. 22, the day the NCHSAA will seed teams for the playoffs.
Schools usually are allowed to play four games in a week only if one of the days is a non-school day. The adjustment for next week is to allow schools to play four games without playing on Saturday.
The NCHSAA basketball tournament will begin Feb. 24. The tournament finals will be March 15. The wrestling finals will be Feb. 20-22 in Greensboro.
Neuse cancels tournament: The Greater Neuse River 4A has canceled its conference basketball tournament in order to complete its regular season.
We will take a financial hit, but we felt finishing the regular season was most important, especially with how close the teams are, Knightdale athletics director Guy Blough said in an email.
We will be using next week to make up games and if necessary play tiebreaker games. This is the first time since the GNRC was formed that we have not been able to play the tournament.
Other plans: The Two Rivers 3A hopes to complete its regular season and play its conference tournament. The key will be when schools reopen.
The Southwest Wake 4A has plans to finish its basketball regular season and hold a shortened tournament, if needed, using only the top teams.
The Cap Eight 4A also is looking at trying to finish the regular season and play the tournament, perhaps a shortened version.
We are looking at options, but you really cant plan until you know when you are going to be in school, Millbrook coach Scott McInnes said. There is nothing we can do with the weather, and our No. 1 priority is to make sure we keep everyone as safe as we can.
We have plans for if we are back in school on Thursday. Other plans if were not back to Friday and other plans if were out the rest of the week. Im telling everyone to relax now and well make the adjustments that we can.
Track times: Southeast Raleighs Jacklyn Howell has the fastest 55-meter hurdles time in the country this season by a high school girl, according to the national list by Jim Spier. Howell ran a 7.95 seconds in the NCHSAA 4A championships.
Layla White of Cary is No. 2 in the 500 meters (1 minute, 15.12 seconds) and Charminique Hackney of Cary is No. 4 in the 55 meters (6.99 seconds).
The Wakefield girls 800 relay is No. 5 (1:41.53) and its 1,600 relay (3:53.02) is No. 4.
Marquavious Johnston of Knightdale (1:04.5) is No. 2 in the boys 500 and Jamaree Murphy of Southeast Raleigh (1:04.36) is No. 3. Knightdales 1,600 relay (3:21.10) is No. 4.

|Cooprider Wins First Pro Tennis Title
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Former UNCW standout Chris Cooprider nailed down his first professional title last weekend when he teamed up with Duke star Henrique Cunha to win the Turkey F27 Futures doubles championship in Istanbul, Turkey.
Cooprider, who led the Seahawks to three NCAA appearances in four seasons, reached his second straight doubles final. He has compiled a 13-4 singles record and 7-2 doubles mark in his young pro career.
"I knew Chris would enjoy success on the professional level, and it's very impressive to win a doubles final in only his third event," said UNCW Head Coach Mait DuBois. "He's reaching a new milestone every week. We're very proud of his success and share that with him. Several of our players struggle with the decision to turn pro and Coop's success will encourage future graduates."
Cooprider and Cunha upset the No. 1 seed, former N.C. State standout Jaime Pulgar (No. 311) and Sam Barry (No. 451), en route to the doubles crown and nice paycheck.
Cooprider, 22, should move into the top-1,000 in the world in doubles after three tournaments. The Denver, Colo., product also won two rounds of singles in the Turkey F27 Futures event.
Cunha and teammate Raphael Hemmeler were named the ITA National Men's Doubles Team of the Year following the 2012-13 season. The Brazilian won more than 100 matches at Duke and is the school's all-time leader in doubles with 146 wins.

Happy Easter everyone!
The annual Kellar Estate Easter egg hunt was conducted Saturday afternoon. Vida, my wife and Ultimate Organizer of Holiday Happenings at the Estate, pulled it all off in grand style once again.
Our son Jason, 5.5, was joined by his friends Emilee, Abby and Jaden and his cousins Natalia and Izabel. Vida, aided by our daughter Jaylynn and her friend Ashleigh, loaded the eggs with candy and scattered them around the grounds of both the Estate and our next door neighbor Belinda's residence. Vida herself was in charge of hiding the Golden Egg and two Silver Eggs, each of which contained a cash reward inside.
After a few moments of frantic searching, each of the hunters claimed success and headed back to the Estate to look over their treasures, only to be informed they had missed an entire stash of candy eggs, which set off another mad dash.
Following the hunt, Vida arranged for the kids to decorate huge Easter egg cookies. According to Vida, despite all of the care taken by the artists in crafting their masterpieces, there was no chance to arrange a gallery display of their work, because the cookies were consumed immediately thereafter.
I asked Jaylynn, who is going to turn 14 in the blink of an eye, whether she snatched any of the candy eggs for herself before the hunt began. Our daughter shrugged her shoulders and said, "Nope. I'll just steal some of Jason's candy."
And of course today, our family and friends are going to descend upon the Estate for the big Easter supper of ham, dressing, greens, rolls and the like.
Looking back, I realized that the tornadoes which struck last April passed over the area on the Tuesday before Easter Sunday. Of course, no such severe weather occurred as a prelude to this year's holiday, but we do intend to thank God today for his continued blessings on our home, family and friends.
Here is hoping your Easter Sunday is as blessed ...
Just a thought ...

Ask Brendan Fahey '13 what he remembers most from visiting North Korea as part of a for-credit study abroad program – the first of its kind in the U.S. – and it probably won't be the opulent tomb of the country's eternal leader, Kim Il Sung, the incredible feats of gymnasts at a famous festival, or even playing a pick-up game of soccer with middle school students who proved themselves worthy adversaries.
While certainly highlights, those experiences don't compare with what happened on a beach outside the capital city of Pyongyang in one of the most secretive countries on the planet.
"I was challenged to a swimming race by a North Korean police officer," says Fahey, an international economics and commerce major and midfielder on Lafayette's lacrosse team. "I thought it was only going to be a few feet, but it was halfway across the bay."
After the race, the man invited Fahey to join his family on the beach for a picnic of clams and carefully poured shots of distilled alcohol made from grain, a North Korean specialty.
It was just one of many encounters enjoyed by Lafayette students who traveled to China, North Korea, and South Korea this summer for two-and-a-half weeks as part of the course "Interconnections in Northeast Asia." Organized with help from the Pyongyang Project, a nonprofit in Beijing, the program focused on the history, culture, and politics of East Asia since 1945, and explored the similarities and differences among the three countries.

"We wanted to study North Korea not in isolation, but as a complicated and diverse region," says Seo-Hyun Park, assistant professor of government and law.
Paul Barclay, associate professor of history, who accompanied Park on the trip along with Michael Jordan, director of international and off-campus education, says the group was able to compare representation of the Korean War by visiting museums devoted to the conflict in each country. North Korea's version is the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, China's is the Museum of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid North Korea, and South Korea's museum commemorates the Korean War as but one of many invasions on the peninsula.
However, it's one thing to read a plaque or gape at a display in a history museum, but another to meet the people who have been affected by the conflict, says Connor McNamara '13, a mechanical engineering major and member of the fencing team.
"Many of our experiences were off the normal tourist routes, so we were able to experience the countries from the perspective of the citizens," he says.
In Beijing, students met with peers at Peking University to discuss Korea, foreign policy matters, and U.S.-China relations. And if their conversations indicate the future of diplomacy between the two nations, we can all exhale a hopeful sigh. Although social media is blocked in some parts of China, university students occasionally have access and the two groups are now Facebook friends. Students also hiked the Great Wall, glimpsed the Forbidden City, and took a boat ride in the Yalu River, which borders North Korea.
Originally, class participants thought they'd have to fly to Pyongyang, but at the last hour learned they'd be taking a train into North Korea, following an experience on an overnight one from Beijing to Shenyang, another Chinese city closer to the border of North Korea.
Once there, security was a lot more lax than imagined. Christina Cucinotta '14 says a security guard seemed more interested in looking at her postcards of the Great Wall than screening her person and bags with a metal wand.
Although the group's passage through North Korea was carefully planned, citizens were extremely friendly, with one man wanting to practice his English with students on the train.
"I was amazed at how easy it was to connect with people, even in situations where you do not speak the same language," says McNamara.
The biggest tourist attraction in the country by far is the Kim Il Sung Tomb Palace. Security there was much more rigorous; cameras had to be turned over and visitors subjected to the equivalent of a full body scan.
"We had to step on these mats that were like a carwash for our feet," says Cucinotta.
The story of Kim Il Sung's life and death was told in epic and somber fashion and the place was packed with tourists and citizens.
As part of the tour, students visited an orphanage where smiling children performed traditional dances, attended the Arirang Mass Games, a famed display of synchronized gymnastics, and toured the capital city.
"I was amazed by what Pyongyang looked like," McNamara says. "A fair amount of the buildings had a retro futuristic design to them. They reminded me of almost a Jetsons look. The '50s and '60s design elements meshed in a strangely wonderful fashion with the traditional Korean architecture."
Plastic flowers on balconies were also popular, says Margaret Abelkop '14, a chemical engineering major and McKelvy House scholar.
But it was the outing to the beach that gave students a real-life brush with average North Koreans.
"At first the people were a little nervous, but some of us went in the water and started a splash fight and then people just kind of warmed up," Abelkop says in the Sept. 4 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education. "At one point we also got a volleyball game going, although we had to mix up the teams because no one thought it would be a good idea to have the U.S. versus North Korea."
People from across the beach gathered to watch and applauded with enthusiasm for both teams.
"These people were trained not to like us, but they were cheering us on," says Melissa Drennan '12, a psychology major and member of Lafayette's dance team.
Taught by faculty from different fields, students had an opportunity to study a region through the lens of multiple perspectives and methodologies, says Park.
"Many of them, I'm sure, ended up with more questions than answers, and I hope that this course was a stepping stone for them to pursue their interest in Asian studies specifically — and also to think further about globalization, diversity, and interconnections more broadly," she says.
It also gave them a new outlook on North Korea.
"It made me think it is way more complicated than I had imagined," says Abelkop in the Chronicle interview. "Before we left, we read a book by Barbara Demick, Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, which followed people living in a third- or fourth-tier city during the famine of the 1990s. So that gave us a sense of some of the cruelest realities of the country.
"I think somewhere between what we saw and her book lies the truth about North Korea, which I'm never going to have access to. But what we saw was real as well. There's a lot of nuance to life there."

Hospital patients respond better to care when their spiritual needs are addressed, but until recently the closest chaplain training program was three hours away. To fill that need, Community collaborated with local hospitals, faith-based educators and Stanford University to establish Clinical Pastoral Education of Central California.
Fresno is California's fifth largest city and, with one of four people living below the poverty level, the U.S. Census Bureau ranks it as the state's most impoverished large metropolitan areas. One of downtown Fresno's most blighted areas is the so-called Lowell neighborhood around Community Regional Medical Center. Among those trying to revitalize the area is Stephen Walter, Community Medical Centers' corporate chief financial officer.
Recognized nationally as a top facility for patient satisfaction and high quality outcomes, Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital was recently awarded a 3-star rating for coronary artery bypass graft with aortic valve replacement from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS).
New mother Stephanie Stone spent months reading how best to care for her baby, but when little Mia was born, all the books in the world left her feeling helpless when it came to breastfeeding.
"I didn't know what to do. I felt awful because it felt like I was starving her," Stone said.
That's when Stone turned to the Mother's Resource Center at Community Regional Medical Center – the only place in central California where mothers can find top experts who specialize in helping new parents like Stone.
Clovis Community Medical Center's CEO, Craig S. Castro, was named "Citizen of the Year" and Clovis Community's Guild was given the "Community Service" award at this year's Clovis Hall of Fame and Community Awards Gala.
The evening honored Clovis' finest – those who have shown courage, commitment and leadership in helping shape the city of Clovis.

TRAVERSE CITY — Food truck owners don't want to park only in Traverse City. They're also looking for opportunities to roll into surrounding townships.
Township zoning rules thus far have undermined much of the potential food truck sizzle because most, if not all of the townships in Grand Traverse County and beyond don't allow food trucks. Food trucks aren't listed as an allowed use in Garfield, East Bay, Acme, Blair, or Peninsula Township, nor in Elmwood Township in Leelanau County.
General zoning rules hold that if a use is not allowed, it's banned.
"I doubt if any of the townships have any regulations for food trucks," said Grand Traverse County Planner John Sych. "It's kind of a new phenomena, imported from other cities that has shown up in Traverse City."
Garfield Township took its last food truck operator, a hot dog stand owner, to court to shut him down. But most township officials said the topic hadn't come up until now.
Nikki Lennox, Acme Township's zoning administrator, reported to the board that she received numerous inquiries from food truck vendors who are interested in setting up in Acme Township. Several of those want to operate in the parking lot of the township's newest microbrewery, Bravo Zulu Brewing.
Bravo Zulu on U.S. 31 across from Acme's expanded shoreline park will open in July but it won't sell food, said owner Jeff Brooks.
"I like the idea," Brooks said of a food truck parked in his lot. "It affects my business in a positive way because it keeps people here instead of going somewhere else to eat."
Acme Supervisor Jay Zollinger said the township board asked for more information before committing to food trucks.
"Nobody showed any opposition," Zollinger said. "I think we are interested, but we want more detail before evaluating it, we want more meat on the bone."

Your Personalized Diet Plan in 15 Minutes
Well personally I dont think weight loss pills are a good idea. Your better to just eat right and exercise. But if you really want to take diet pills then I would like to suggest you Phentramin-D. It is an effective diet pill which helps to enhance metabolism. It is safer than most of the diet pill available in the market without prescription. I highly recommend those who have weight related problems can use it without doubt.
You can see many kind of pills are available in market. They are really works. But over-the-counter pills and prescription weight loss medications have a long list of dangerous side effects.
Spammers responding to spammers, this thread is great.
Hello friend,
I don't recommend taking any dangerous supplement pill to enhance your weight loss. Instead I recommend taking something safe and natural, such as the great product .

By Todd Hummel
For The Daily Item
When Kent State coach Rob Senderoff talked about Bucknell center Mike Muscala before the two teams met Tuesday night at Sojka Pavilion, he invoked one of the great players in Mid-American Conference history.
"I told (our local) guys last week when we were talking about Muscala and Bucknell that he was the best post player we've faced since Chris Kaman (now a Dallas Mavericks center in his 10th year in the NBA) in 2003."
After seeing Muscala in person, Senderoff's opinion hasn't changed at all.
"(Muscala) is just good. He lets the game come to him; he posts really hard," Senderoff said. "He's a great player.
"I have a bunch more adjectives for him if you want them. He's definitely the best post player we've faced since 2003."
Muscala finished with a game-high 27 points Tuesday, while the Bison defense held Kent State's top two scorers 22 points under their combined season average in a 76-60 win.
"I think that was our most complete performance this season," Bucknell coach Dave Paulsen said. "We really got into a rhythm offensively and defensively in the second half."
The Bison (8-1) also got 13 points from Bryson Johnson and freshman Ryan Frazier, plus Cameron Ayers played a large role in keeping Golden Flash's top scorer Chris Evans scoreless until midway through the second half.
"Ayers did a great job defending (Evans) and we did a good job of helping him out when (Evans) went in the post with the double team," Muscala said.
Evans and guard Randal Holt entered Tuesday night's contest averaging 33.2 points combined per game, but finished with just 11 against the Bison. The two combined to shoot 2-of-16 from the floor in the game.
"Randal had six assists, I think that's a career-high, so I thought he played well," Senderoff said. "But Chris just had a poor game in every phase. These guys aren't used to being the focal point of the defense; they have to learn to let the game come to them."
Frazier's 13 points were a career-high and he also played a part in defending Holt.
"He's growing into his role and he's feeling like he belongs," Paulsen said.
Bucknell and Muscala got off to a quick start. The senior center had as many dunks (three) as the Golden Flash had points, scoring nine of the Bison's first 11 points as Bucknell opened up an early eight-point lead.
Kent State used its 3-point shooting to get back into the contest, hitting 5 of 8 from behind the arc, to get back within one point at the break, trailing the Bison 32-31.
"I was a little concerned at halftime because I had thought we had played well, but we were only (within) one," Senderoff said. "I was hoping we could get the same type of 20 minutes in the second half out of the guys, but we didn't."
Bucknell pushed its lead back to eight after a Muscala tip-in with 16:39 left in the game, and maintained that lead until a 22-8 run salted the game away.
"We had a real good flow going (offensively) in the second half," Muscala said. "We've had flashes of that kind of rhythm in practice, but not in a game this year."
Muscala capped the run with a 3-pointer and traditional three-point play to give the Bison a 65-51 lead with 5:58 left in the game.

re:The Classics.. Brit StyleMEIN_TEIL on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 - 2:34pm
i love the Hammer films. Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, David Prowse, etc, legends of horror in my book. My brother got me into Dr.Who at a young age, but the channel that showed the episodes never put them in order so i was always confused, but still enjoyed them
re:The Classics.. Brit StyleMEIN_TEIL on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 - 4:30pm
yeah, to me Tom Baker IS Doctor Who, I can't see anyone but him playing that role
Re: The Classics.. Brit StyleHELLFIGHTER on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 - 4:50pm
HAMMER STUDIOS ARE MOTHERS MILK to me. I watch em all the time. Love the gothic scenery, the accents, great acting. Cushing and Lee are unbeatable. When I have probs and cant sleep I put on one of the old flicks and focus and get into a calm nostalgia and off I go. Christopher Lee is still the best Dracula and Cushing is still the best Dr. Frankenstein. Best classic horror, ever.

love Hammer and all, Cushing, Lee etc, but I can't say they're better than Lugosi, Karloff and Chaney etc.
Re: The Classics.. Brit StyleHELLFIGHTER on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 - 5:08pm
I loved Lugosi for his STYLE and the creepy smile and accent when he was moving in but I prefer Lee's power and force and dignity, he was more frightening. Lugosi was more creepy but combined with the story, for me Lee was the best. Doesnt take anything away from Lugosi, its likd two styles of music. KARLOFF to me is IRREPLACEABLE. His voice, his bearing were unbeatable. You will notice I said CUSHING was the best DR. F not the monster. And Chaney was the Wolfman. While those movies were CLASSIC. They were just a few flicks when compared to the outpouring of horror that came from the House of HAMMER. One was a great little drizzle, one was a deluge. I NEEDS the water, LOL.

Why We Buy: The Science Of Shopping
Simon & Schuster, Jun 2, 2000 - Business & Economics - 256 pages
Is there a method to our madness when it comes to shopping? Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as "a Sherlock Holmes for retailers," author and research company CEO Paco Underhill answers with a definitive "yes" in this witty, eye-opening report on our ever-evolving consumer culture. Why We Buy is based on hard data gleaned from thousands of hours of field research -- in shopping malls, department stores, and supermarkets across America. With his team of sleuths tracking our every move, from sweater displays at the mall to the beverage cooler at the drugstore, Paco Underhill lays bare the struggle among merchants, marketers, and increasingly knowledgeable consumers for control.
In his quest to discover what makes the contemporary consumer tick, Underhill explains the shopping phenomena that often go unnoticed by retailers and shoppers alike, including:
For those in retailing and marketing, Why We Buy is a remarkably fresh guide, offering creative and insightful tips on how to adapt to the changing customer. For the general public, Why We Buy is a funny and sometimes disconcerting look at our favorite pastime.

Seal spotted in Thames off Greenwich
Updated 10:09am Wednesday 30th January 2013 in Greenwich news By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A FAMILY walking along the Thames were astonished to spot a seal in the water this week.
Nicola White, 44, was walking along with her eight-year-old daughter Grace on January 27 at high tide when they saw the creature off Morden Wharf, Greenwich.
She said: "It seemed quite curious and tame actually, coming right up to the side and looking up at us."
The family then looked on as it ducked under water and popped up again with a fish.
Ms White, of Shooter's Hill, said: "We've never seen one so close into London before."
Though known to visit the Thames estuary, marine mammals are still a surprising sight.
However, wildlife experts claim an increase in the number and variety of fish to be found in London's waters is now making the appearance of seals, porpoises and dolphins more common.
- A baby seal was spotted on the banks of the Thames at Kingston last year, caught on video here:

The Albany Times Union reported recently that the head of New York State United Teachers receives a compensation package of $345,987, including a base salary of $240,180.
Well, that got me wondering how much the president of the Buffalo Teachers Federation makes.
Phil Rumore received $98,664 from the union in 2010, according to the union's most recent tax filing. He says that's his salary, and it hasn't changed in the years that teachers have been without a new contract. His salary, he says, is calculated at 1.2 times the salary of the highest-paid teacher, under the contract.
In 2008, Rumore's compensation was listed at $113,664. The following year, it was $116,071, according to the union's tax filings.
He says the extra money resulted from a back-pay settlement the teachers -- and, apparently, therefore also the union leadership -- received. It was about $30,000, Rumore said, and he opted to split it between the two years.
"There was a back pay settlement years ago, and teachers got an extra amount of money," he said. "We also got extra amounts of money, because what we get is what the teachers get."
No additional compensation is listed for him on the BTF's tax filings for the past few years, but Rumore said the BTF pays his health insurance and that of his two assistants, Edith Lewin and Barbara Bielecki. But we'll get back to them in a moment.
On top of Rumore's BTF salary, he also collects a state pension of about $35,000 for the 13 years he spent as a teacher. All told, then, Rumore makes about $133,664 a year, between his union salary and his teachers pension.
The union's two presidential assistants -- yes, that is their actual title -- each make $88,045 a year.
Both, like Rumore, are also retired teachers, so they collect a state pension in addition to their BTF salary.
Lewin, BTF's vice president, drew $55,289 in pension last year. That brought her salary plus pension to $143,334.
Bielecki, the union's treasurer, received $66,652 in pension last year, bringing her salary plus pension to $154,697.
As I mentioned earlier, Rumore, Lewin and Bielecki all receive health insurance through BTF. But Rumore says that is going to change next year, when all three will switch their coverage and have it provided through -- and paid for by -- the Buffalo Public Schools. As retired teachers, under their contract with the district, they are entitled to paid health insurance through the district.

Updated at 4:25 a.m. Feb. 7, 2013
Carrying two toddlers in his arms, a San Diego man rang the intercom button Wednesday at the Imperial Beach sheriff's substation to report a murder.
He had just killed his wife, he reportedly said.
Homicide Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said Marvin Duncan, 59, rang the substation's button around 3:40 p.m. to inform deputies of the crime.
"The deputy detained the man and the children were taken into protective custody," Giannantonio said.
The children were not injured, he said.
Deputies went outside to find Rocio Duncan, 36, suffering from multiple stab wounds outside a Nissan Titan truck.
"The woman was still breathing but succumbed to her injuries shortly after she was discovered," he said.
Marvin Dennis Duncan was booked into County Jail at 3:07 a.m., according to jail records, and was being held on first-degree murder charges with no bail. He is to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Friday at South County Superior Court in Chula Vista.
The Sheriff's Department shares the parking lot in the 800 block of Imperial Beach Boulevard with City Hall, the Imperial Beach Public Safety Department and Imperial Beach Fire Department.
Imperial Beach Boulevard between Delaware and 9th streets were closed off Wednesday, and City Hall and the sheriff's substation were surrounded with "Sheriff's Line Do Not Cross" tape during the investigation.
Sha-Ron Cobb had just finished walking her dog at the beach and stopped at the library when she saw the sheriff's department responding and several city employees leaving City Hall.
"I thought maybe it's like a bomb threat," she said.
Zeke Mazur, 72, mistakenly thought a City Council meeting was scheduled to take place Wednesday and was on his way to City Hall.
Mazur has lived in Imperial Beach for decades, rides his bike everywhere and still considers IB a safe place to live.
"It's amazing," he said. "I've never heard of anything like this happening before in Imperial Beach."
Merlinda and James Cobb live a little over a block away on 7th Street and were out walking their dog when they were stopped by police tape.
"It's crazy," Merlinda said. "We walk here all the time. It's too close to home."
Anyone with information about the case was asked to call homicide
detectives at 858-974-2321 or after hours at 858-565-5200.

"I don't know that there is a decrease in those who want to own," says David McCormick, MS, of Simmons & Associates, a national
veterinary practice sales firm. "I think that there are more veterinarians overall. So, the percentage of veterinarians who
are future owners is going down, but that's because the number of associates is going up. Those who see themselves as future
owners are out there. So for current practice owners, there are buyers."
Gary Glassman, CPA, a partner with Burzenski & Co. in East Haven, Conn., agrees with the sentiment: "Right now, I see more
buyers in the marketplace than there are sellers."
While there are buyers ready to purchase practices in most areas, several trends are defining the market, from buyers wanting
to purchase practices in desirable areas to a growing group of female owners who want to purchase and operate practices on
their own terms. More alarmingly, when potential buyers can't find practices to purchase in the right places, some are opting
for startups—a trend that could oversaturate the market.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- After a technical problem last weekend, Bonnaroo tickets were back on sale Saturday with fans quickly grabbing up passes to the four-day music festival in June.
Organizers had to suspend the online ticket sales last week due to overwhelming demand and technical issues. Most price levels quickly sold out by Saturday afternoon when the ticket sales resumed, according to the website.
The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is held annually in June in Manchester, about 65 miles southeast of Nashville. This year's lineup includes the reunited Beach Boys, along with Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish and Bon Iver.

Now that we're in the middle of the summer, we're starting to hear more and more about hazardous air quality in the Baltimore area. Air quality in the region is influenced by multiple factors, including air pollution and seasonal weather. Understanding air quality codes ensures that we are able to make the best decisions concerning our own personal health.
So what do the color codes stand for? The colors range from green to maroon and represent various levels of health hazards.
Air quality levels are calculated daily and will change from day to day. You can find the daily air quality codes in a wide variety of sources: check your local news, listen to local radio, and check online weather sources.
It is important to recognize that air quality codes and their impact on people vary depending on a number of personal health conditions. If you suffer from asthma or other respiratory illnesses, a code orange day will effect you more than an individual without a respiratory illness. Always remember to keep your personal health in mind when making decisions about how much time you will be spending outdoors.
If you're a Loyola University Maryland student or employee, you will also get an email on days that have poor air quality. When you get these emails, please try to reduce your unnecessary energy consumption as much as possible. Make sure to stay up-to-date and check your emails!
