Dwayne Evans nearly set a career high in points for the second straight game, and No. 16 Saint Louis' defense locked down Butler in the second half for a 67-56 win Saturday to reach the Billikens' first Atlantic 10 title game.
Evans had 24 points and 11 rebounds a day after going for 25 and nine in the quarterfinals against Charlotte.
Top-seeded Saint Louis beat the Bulldogs for the third time this season. Butler may be the bigger name, but the Billikens have been the class of the A-10 in 2013.
The Billikens (26-6) held Butler without a field goal for almost seven minutes midway through the second half to pull away. Meanwhile, Evans went to work inside, showing off his post moves at 6-foot-5 or earning free throws to put the Bulldogs (26-8) in foul trouble.

Launched in 2012, IIE's research center is now changing its name to the IIE Center for Academic Mobility Research and Impact. Why are we doing this and why now? It is not just a matter of semantics. Instead, it reflects the evolving nature of our work and of the emphasis the Institute places on measuring the impact of what we do. While IIE continues to be at the forefront of applied research on international student mobility through Open Doors and Project Atlas, our Center's work has expanded rapidly to studying the impact of international higher education programs—including scholarships and fellowships—on individuals, institutions, and communities. This shift in our work reflects a growing awareness within the broader field of international education about the importance of assessing and documenting the profound and sustained influence that international education exchange can have.
Our team has great commitment to the important mission of international education, in-depth understanding of global primary and secondary education, and most importantly, incredible passion for the professional development of K-12 educators.
The answer to this question, according to the authors of IIE's spring 2014 edition of IIENetworker is, "it depends." While we tend to think of internationalization and globalization as harmonious, even synonymous, this issue of IIE's biannual magazine makes important distinctions between the two and points out the benefits—along with potential drawbacks—of rapid globalization.
So how might globalization be bad for international education?
"The way to create a really great city is to establish a university. Then wait several hundred years."
It was Mark Twain, I think, who had this important insight. Neither cities nor universities get built overnight. But having returned from visiting universities in three very major and rapidly growing cities, I had a chance to reflect on what it is taking to build world class institutions of higher education in an age of globalization.
It was the Mickey and Minnie Mouse red and pink rolling suitcases that first caught my eye as what seemed like the entire population of Beijing headed to baggage claim. Then I saw the two children that were accompanying the bags and their parents. As we waited for the trains to the exit hall, I had a chance to notice a bit more about what the parents were rolling.
Advances in technology and global connectivity have raised exciting possibilities and serious challenges for higher education. In January the Open University of Hong Kong invited educators from around the globe to examine these issues at the inaugural International Conference on Open and Flexible Education. I was fortunate to attend the conference as part of IIE's traveling fellowship, and I was eager to learn about the ways in which technology will impact the future of education and international exchange programs.
"Every student who wants to succeed in the global economy should study abroad." That is the first sentence of IIE's new book, A Student Guide to Study Abroad, which was published by IIE in collaboration with the AIFS Foundation, and is packed with essential tips and information for students looking to study abroad.
Last month I met with Torbjørn Røe Isaksen, the new Minister of Education and Research in Norway, who was in Washington, DC, for the annual Transatlantic Science Week organized by the Royal Norwegian Embassy. We spoke about higher education internationalization in Norway and the priorities for academic collaboration with the United States. Mr. Røe Isaksen, who holds a MA in Political Science from the University of Oslo, also spent one year in the United States as a student at Carl Junction High School in Missouri.
Like many nonprofits that have an international reach and run several large and varying programs, IIE faces the everyday challenge of how best to assess the effectiveness and impact of its work. Our program evaluation services, offered through IIE's Center of Academic Mobility Research, have grown rapidly in response to this need! Our evaluation team at the Center has extensive experience in all levels of a program evaluation, from measuring program outputs and outcomes to longer-term studies to identify participant and community impacts over time.
More and more US students are seeking out short-term jobs, internships, and volunteer work overseas, and with good reason. Overseas employment and volunteering has big appeal. Working in another country gets students out of the classroom and into the community. They interact not just with professors and other students as they might with traditional study abroad programs, but they get to engage with workers and community members at all ages and stages of life and in a variety of settings.
For more than nine decades, the Institute of International Education has been at the forefront of international education. The Opening Minds blog is IIE's take on how this field continues to change. Here the Institute's leaders will explore international educational exchange, global student mobility, institutional partnerships, international development, and other topics and trends that are shaping higher education around the world.

'Tis the season to layaway
We haven't heard the 'L' word for years, but it's back in force.
Toys R Us announced Monday it will launch a layaway program for its more expensive items. Chief executive Gerald Storch said customers were requesting the service.
Toy sales don't suffer as much as other retail categories in recessions. That's because, when your daughter looks at you with big eyes and says how much she would love the Fur Real Friends Lulu My Cuddlin Kiddy Cat, well, it's hard to say no.
And now, Toys R Us and other stores are making it that much harder to say no. Kmart and Sears are even offering online layaway programs. You must make a down payment of 15% or $10, whichever is greater, and pay a $5 fee, according to The Los Angeles Times.
The new interest in layaway -- from both shoppers and stores -- comes as forecasters expect retail sales to drop this holiday for the second year in a row. The expected 1% decline won't be as bad as last year's 3.4% fall, according to Bloomberg, but retailers are preparing for some bleak numbers.
Stores are also rolling out sales and promotions -- and we'll hear a lot about layaway in the next few weeks.

The Washington Redskins had something to prove, and proved it all night long in a 38-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboys Stadium on Thanksgiving.
Dallas had gone 28-15-1 all-time on Thanksgiving, winning five of its last six and have taken all six Thanksgiving matchups against the Redskins, until tonight.
After getting behind early in the game, the Dallas Cowboys were about to mount a pretty good comeback in the 4th quarter to come within one touchdown of the Washington Redskins.
Jason Garrett, Cowboys Head Coach, said, "We didn't do enough enough on offense to keep up with them in the first half, i thought are team responded well in the second half to get us back into the ball game and make it a one score game but ultimately it wasn't enough. We lost Miles Austin early on in the ball game, Bruce Carter got hurt, Hatch got hurt, Orlando Scandrick got hurt, but if you are on the roster, if you are part of the 61, 53, 46, you got to be ready to play."
Cowboys QB Tony Romo added, "Football is the ultimate team sport and we all know that and we have a lot of guys who gave a lot of great effort tonight and it wasn't good enough and we need to do things better to figure out how to be a better football team. We need to do the little things better, and i know we got a lot of new guys who are playing right now and a lot of guys banged up but that's why we practice and do a lot of things so guys can step in and do a good job."

Las Cruces, NM (KDBC) — Pneumococcal disease, caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, is one of the most common causes of pneumonia among New Mexicans.
So far this year, approximately 300 people in New Mexico have been diagnosed with severe pneumococcal disease; 47 (16%) of these people have died from their infection, which is an average of about one death per week.
Pneumococcal pneumonia can follow an influenza infection making influenza season a more common time for both diseases.
It is estimated that pneumococcal pneumonia among adults accounts for $3 billion of direct health care costs each year in the U.S.
"Approximately 1 out of 3 adults who are recommended to receive the vaccine have never been vaccinated against pneumococcal disease," said Department of Health Cabinet Secretary Retta Ward, MPH.
The New Mexico Department of Health offers pneumonia vaccinations for people without insurance or who are otherwise not able to get immunized.
Those with Medicaid or other health insurance should bring their insurance cards with them to the clinic.
For more information on pneumonia and pneumococcal disease in New Mexico visit the New Mexico Department of Health Active Bacterial Disease Surveillance webpage at: http://nmeip.org/abc-streptococcus-pneumoniae.php [1].

Exquisite Quality!
A Falling of Leaves Gate-fold Invitations I searched and searched for the perfect fall invitations. They had to be colorful, of great quality, and of course. . . Beautiful. I couldn't have found a more PERFECT invitation than A Falling of Leaves. The quality is unsurpassed! I just LOVE the texture and thickness of the linen stock paper; it made the cost worth every dime. The design was exactly what I was looking for. . .A prelude to our Autumn themed wedding. To say that the invitation was 'pretty' would be an insult. With the slender vellum holding it all together, it was simply LOVELY! Everyone was impressed! There really isn't much more that needs to be said, except, PLACE YOUR ORDER!

Last month I stored the body armor on the top shelf of the closet for the last time, unloaded the gun and put it away, turned in my badge and gave up the donut and free coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. After 20 years as a part-time county deputy I certainly had doubts about pulling the plug–it's a mindset, a way of life. The world is composed of sheep, wolves and sheepdogs: I've always been a sheepdog.
AIN Blogs
So often in the course of covering events, journalists hear statements that never make it into published accounts. Space is limited, time is limited, or the comment is peripheral to the rigid formula of news reportage—who, what, where, when and possibly, why.
Another NBAA Convention is history, and not surprisingly the association pronounced it an "outstanding success" by every yardstick. Attendance was up by 7 percent over last year, as was the number of exhibitors. A total of 101 aircraft were on display, including 85 at the sold-out static display of aircraft at Las Vegas Henderson Executive Airport, five more inside the Las Vegas Convention Center and 11 additional aircraft at the first-ever outdoor static park next to the exhibition halls.
Another NBAA Convention has come and gone, opened amid optimism and closed with hope. Sometimes over the past couple of years, it seemed like there wasn't much in between. It was a bit like a watercress sandwich. Two pieces of bread, attractively presented but with little of sustenance in the middle.
My job at this month's NBAA show in Las Vegas was to present our AINtv webcasts. I've been working on AINtv since its launch in 2006 and it really is great fun—in fact, don't tell my boss, but it's light relief from the daily grind of churning out articles for AIN's print and online editions.
Growing up, James Bond movies were my favorites, and high among them was The Man With the Golden Gun. I don't remember when I first saw it, but what stuck most in my impressionable young mind was a car. No, not one of Bond's tricked-out sports cars with ejection seats or retractable machine guns, but a rather unlikely object of male desire, an AMC Matador.
Have you ever wondered why we keep putting off for tomorrow what we can do today, particularly when it comes to the issue of, yes—I'll say it—global warming? Quite apart from the flat-earth crowd, the people who believe the overwhelming scientific evidence tend to acknowledge a need to do something about this existential threat.
When Gulfstream Aerospace announced that it had re-designated its G250 super-midsize jet as the G280, Business Jet Traveler's editors were already well under way with our plans to publish a Chinese version of our award-winning BJT Buyers' Guide.
The business aviation industry, as well as the associated companies, grow when confidence is high and retract when it's low. As the economy slogs along for the third year in a row, with matching weak confidence, the time is now for the business aircraft manufacturers to announce bold plans for new models at the 2011 NBAA Convention next week in Las Vegas.
If you are reading this blog, then I can comfortably assume that you've probably visited AINonline before and have already noticed it has had a substantial upgrade. "Welcome back!" I hope you find the new design much improved from our previous edition.
If this is your first time visiting AINonline.com, then "Welcome! We're happy you're here."

GOP candidate Diana Irey Vaughan spoke to ACTION, a conservative Christian activist group, in Lancaster County this weekend, to explain why she is running for state treasurer of Pennsylvania. Though she claimed she was reluctant to run for office, she "took it as a sign from God" when she collected the required 1,000 signatures to get on the ballot. Vaughan declared, "We have to be a Christian army. We have to fight to return to a Christian nation." Vaughan is running against Democratic incumbent Robert McCord after five terms as the only woman to ever serve as Washington County Commissioner. Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-PA), author of Pennsylvania's now defunct voter ID law, was also expected to speak but postponed his talk until ACTION's January meeting, after the November election.

Often we have parties at these large facilities or at a park or at home and it's extremely hard to decorate the whole place to fit your theme. That is unless you totally want to blow the budget!!! So, pick a place and do it up! The eating table is a great place to start. You could also chose the serving table. It doesn't really matter where, but concentrate some personal touches in one area and that will make more of an impact than trying to decorate and entire gym….for example.
Here the hostess, purchased some fabric yardage at a local store to use as the table cloth. So often the table cloths you buy are either not original or are just not what you want. But, especially now that quilting is so big, there are tons of fabrics to chose from. And the designs range from Disney to very sophisticated. And really you don't even have to hem it. No one will ever notice. For the magic show theme, blue fabric with stars was perfect.
Simply cut the fabric the size you need for the table and lay it down! Nothing could be easier or more impactful. It really won't take long to find what you want and add some solid plates and cups and you are done! No matter if you are doing a magic show theme or really anything else, there is something out there for you.

SPOKANE, Wash. – Whitworth will open the 2013 NCAA Division III men's basketball tournament at home against the University of Redlands.
The bracket was released this morning and the Pirates were selected as a host institution for the opening round. The game will be Saturday, March 2nd and 7:00 pm in the Fieldhouse. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students, youth and senior adults. Gates will open at 5:30 pm.
Whitworth earned its seventh straight trip to the NCAA Division III tournament, and eighth overall, with a 93-72 win over Whitman in the Northwest Conference tournament championship game last Saturday in front of 1,760 fans in the Fieldhouse. The Pirates improved to 24-3 while winning their 12th straight NWC tournament game.
Redlands is making its second NCAA tournament appearance in the last three years. The Bulldogs defeated visiting Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 73-64 in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletics Conference tournament championship game on Saturday night, improving to 22-5 this season.
Whitworth and Redlands met earlier this season at Chapman University in Orange, California. The Pirates defeated the Bulldogs 70-57 on December 19th.
Whitworth will be hosting an NCAA tournament game for the fifth team. Each of the previous four times (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) have come against SCIAC opponents.
The winner of Saturday's game will take on the winner of a first-round game between Emory (Ga.) and Randolph (Va.) on March 9th.

The Food Allergy Ball on Monday drew 1,000 guests and raised a record $5 million to benefit the Food Allergy Initiative's research and educational activities to combat life-threatening food allergies.
"My four kids are all allergic to peanuts and tree nuts," said David Jaffe, Dress Barn Inc.'s chief executive officer. Jaffe's brother Richard, a retail analyst with Stifel Nicholas, also has a child with the allergy. "This is a problem that continues to grow," David observed. "Incidences are on the rise."
The Jaffes founded the Elliot and Roslyn Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and are a founding family of the FAI. "Ten years ago, when we started FAI, there was very little publicity or awareness of this problem," Jaffe noted.
Also honored were Frank W. Bruno, president, Cerberus Global Investment Advisors LLC, as well as Jacques Pépin, Alain Sailhac and André Soltner of the French Culinary Institute.
On Tuesday, Saks barricaded and darkened off a section of its second floor to dish out the traditional holiday chicken potpies. But it seemed skipping town for the holidays was the order of the day, even for those who usually don't. "I absolutely love Christmas, but it's really hard to enjoy it when you're in this business," said Josie Natori. Despite the rigors of creating a collection, she's taking off for two weeks to Turks and Caicos and the Philippines.
"Every year we go someplace different, either a warm spot or a cold one," said Saks Inc. chairman and ceo Stephen I. Sadove. This time around, it's Cabo San Lucas for six days.
Suzanne Johnson, general manager of the Saks flagship, plans to meet her four sisters at Canyon Ranch in Arizona. Aside from all the pampering, "Hopefully, we'll do a lot of hiking."
"I love decorating for the holiday and love baking people gifts," said Zac Posen. He'll be hitting the ski slopes in Colorado, and hitting them hard. "I'm totally competitive."

Tomorrow is the first day of spring but it already feels like summer here in Louisville, where the temperature has been in the 80's almost every day for the last week. Homeowners in my neighbourhood have been scrambling to start their backyard gardens, while apartment dwellers like me look on in envy.
(Photo: Krizza Homes)
However, no matter how limited your space is, you have room for a container garden. I'm already eyeing my shared balcony to figure out how many pots of vegetables, herbs, and flowers I can have and still be able to get up and down our stairs.
One of the best things about this type of gardening is that you can really think outside the box when it comes to what you put your plants in. Just about anything can be repurposed as a planter, so you can use them to emphasize your home's style, or inject your own style into a less-than-great space. Brian Patrick Flynn has an excellent tutorial on his website to design a tub planter that work with either vintage or modern décor and can be wheeled inside when the weather gets too cold for the plants.
(Photo: Apartment Therapy)
If you are using more ordinary materials, consider grouping them to have greater visual impact, like this large-scale planter of cinder blocks. The key to this planter is the variations in height and depth, as well as the different coloured plants, which is something to take into consideration when planning your containers.
(Photo: Silive)
You don't have to limit yourself to standard garden plants; container gardens make excellent water features as well. These plants look exotic but are actually easy to maintain, if you follow Fine Gardening's instructions on plant choice, placement, and care.
(Photo: Tree Hugger)
If outdoor space really is at a premium, consider using a wall for planting. The small eavestroughs above are perfect for lettuces and herbs but would work equally well with small flowering plants. Lightweight planters can also be hung on the wall, or anything else that can hold enough dirt for the plant's root system.
(Photo: Greenbo)
Even if your balcony has no floor or wall space for planters, you can always use the railing. Greenbo's ingenious design ensures that your planters won't fall over the side and they come in a dozen fresh colours to help you personalize your space.
(Photo: Urban Garden Casual)
Don't despair if you have no outdoor space: small containers can work indoors too. I'm considering borrowing this idea from Urban Garden Casual for my kitchen window. Small containers can work even if you don't have the window space to spare; just make sure to consult your local garden specialist for plants that will thrive in shade.
(Photo: American Girl in Canada)
If you, like me, are a bit of a hoarder collector you can use this to your advantage. Vintage tins, pretty tea cups, and mismatched glasses make excellent herb pots which will perk up both your kitchen decor and your cooking.
(Photo: Container Gardening For You)
You might want to wait a few weeks to begin planting but now is a great time to start figuring out what you will use for planters. While I'm spring-cleaning I will have my eye out for that special container to house my spring veggies and pretty posies. What have you been inspired to use?

Clinical Trials Point to New Options for Advanced Prostate Cancer
Two more treatments for men with advanced prostate cancer could soon be available, according to updated findings from two phase III clinical trials presented in San Francisco last week at the 2012 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium.
In the trials, the investigational agents MDV3100 and radium-223 (Alpharadin) improved overall survival in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer—that is, cancer that no longer responds to treatments that dramatically diminish the testosterone available in the body to fuel tumor growth.
The drugs, which work by different mechanisms of action, also controlled the growth of bone metastases—the most common site of tumor spread in prostate cancer—and caused few serious side effects. Both trials were stopped early because of the survival improvements, and the investigational drugs were offered to patients who had not received them during the trials.
If the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves both drugs, which several researchers said is likely, the number of approved treatments for men with advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer would rise to six—up from only a single approved agent, the chemotherapy drug docetaxel, in 2004.
FDA-Approved Drugs for Treating Advanced Prostate Cancer
|Year Approved
|Drug Class
|Cabazitaxel (Jevtana)
|Abiraterone (Zytiga)
|CYP17 inhibitor (inhibits production of testosterone)
|Sipuleucel-T (Provenge)
The FDA is reviewing MDV3100 and radium-223 under the fast-track designation for treatment of men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. The fast track designation is used to expedite the review of drugs for serious conditions for which there is an unmet medical need.
"This is a very exciting time," said Dr. Leonard Gomella of the Thomas Jefferson University Kimmel Cancer Center, who was not involved in either trial. "We have so many new options for patients with advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer, agents with different mechanisms of action to treat the cancer in different ways. It's very good news for patients."
Different Agents, Similar Results
More than 900 patients with advanced prostate cancer that had spread only to the bones were enrolled in the smaller of the two trials, dubbed ALSYMPCA, which compared treatment with radium-223 plus best supportive care to placebo plus best supportive care.
Radium-223, developed by the Norwegian company Algeta, is the first of a class of drugs called alpha-particle emitters to advance this far into clinical studies. Because it is a "calcium mimic"— like calcium, it targets areas of bone undergoing changes such as those induced by tumors—the drug is designed to target bone metastases, the trial's lead investigator, Dr. A. Oliver Sartor of the Tulane University Cancer Center, said during a press briefing.
We have so many new options for patients with advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer, agents with different mechanisms of action to treat the cancer in different ways. It's very good news for patients.
—Dr. Leonard Gomella
Once in the bone, radium-223 emits very low levels of alpha radiation, which travels less than 100 microns, or approximately four one-thousandths of an inch. The drug radiates the tumors and surrounding areas "in a very localized fashion," Dr. Sartor said, "like a little bomb going off but [one] that doesn't affect surrounding tissues very much at all."
The results presented last week were from an interim analysis of 805 patients in the trial. The analysis showed a median overall survival of 14 months in patients treated with radium-223 versus 11.2 months in patients treated with placebo. Patients who received radium-223 also lived significantly longer before experiencing bone-related events such as fractures or spinal compressions, a median of 13.6 months compared with 8.4 months for those in the placebo group.
Delaying the onset of bone events is clinically important, said Dr. Philip Saylor of Massachusetts General Hospital, who was not involved in the trial. "Such an overwhelming burden of the disease takes place in the skeleton," Dr. Saylor said. It's also a promising sign, he continued, that radium-223 doesn't appear to cause bone marrow suppression, a problem that has been seen with investigational beta-particle emitters.
The other trial, AFFIRM, tested MDV3100, a drug that targets androgen receptors on cells.
Until fairly recently, the prevailing thought was that prostate tumors that continued to grow despite extremely low levels of testosterone in the body were using a mechanism that does not involve testosterone. But laboratory studies have convincingly shown that tumor cells "have their own mechanisms for making androgens at the local tumor site or figuring out ways to turn on androgen receptors to help them grow," Dr. Gomella explained.
MDV3100—which is being co-developed by San Francisco-based Medivation, Inc. and Tokyo-based Astellas Pharma, Inc.—works by two routes, preventing testosterone from binding to androgen receptors and, within the cell, preventing the androgen receptor from initiating the production of proteins that induce tumor growth.
It's plausible that combinations or sequential use of these agents may add even more value than what we've seen here.
—Dr. A. Oliver Sartor
Nearly 1,200 men, all of whom had castrate-resistant prostate cancer that had progressed after treatment with docetaxel, took part in AFFIRM. The median overall survival was 18.4 months for patients treated with MDV3100 and 13.6 months for those treated with placebo.
Approximately one-third of patients treated with MDV3100 had partial or complete shrinkage of their tumors, compared with 1.3 percent of patients in the control arm, explained the trial's lead investigator, Dr. Howard Scher of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Treatment with MDV3100 also substantially lengthened the amount of time patients lived without the progression of metastatic tumors (as measured by imaging studies), 8.3 months compared with 2.9 months.
The results, Dr. Scher noted, "will likely position" MDV3100 as the initial treatment in patients with advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer whose disease progresses after docetaxel treatment.
Next Steps: Treatment Sequencing and Combinations
With several options for treating castrate-resistant prostate cancer, much of the discussion among researchers and clinicians centers on how best to use them—in particular, in what order.
Given the different mechanisms of action and survival improvements seen with MDV3100 and radium-223, using the drugs sequentially could be a particularly promising approach, Dr. Nicholas Vogelzang of the Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada said during the press briefing.
Dr. Sartor agreed. "Whether there are additive or even synergistic benefits will have to be demonstrated in trials," he said, "but it's plausible that combinations or sequential use of these agents may add even more value than what we've seen here."
Combining approved and investigational agents is also high on the research agenda. In asymptomatic patients, combining immunotherapeutic treatments like sipuleucel-T with newer androgen-directed therapies may be a valuable approach, Dr. Gomella said. In patients with progressive disease, treatments that incorporate chemotherapy combined with radium-223 may be particularly effective.
"Of course this is all theory," he said. "But we're very excited that we can even be talking about these theories right now."

Nothing says "summer is here" like camping outside with your friends and making smores around an open fire. Classic smores are delicious as they are, but here are some yummy recipes that take them to the next level.
I don't want to brag, but I might have made this cookie recipe for my co-workers, and they might have described them as "the best cookies they've ever had." :)
Bonus: they are super easy!

Swimming in a sea of electrons
Shapeshifting myself into a positive influence in this exciting new self-publishing world we have created. Will be happy if people love me or hate me, but disappointed if I'm just 'yeah, whatever dude!'. I like photography, gadgets, writing, learning and growing. I dislike shallowness, uniformity, conformity and arrogance.
LinkCurrent Windows Phones won't run WP8?
05. March 2012
Oh dear! Seems that Microsoft have gone and done another nasty in the wonderful world of Mobile Windows. Stevie Ballmer will have a hard time appeasing the faithful if this rumour turns out to be true.
Seems that Windows 8 version of Windows Phone, currently only known by its codename "Apollo" won't be compatible with current Windows Phone (7.5 or WP7) devices. This is bound to be a sure-fire way to peev off the customers you are currently courting with the great comeback of Windows on mobile devices, Mr. Ballmer and Elop.
And for Microsoft it will be the second time in as many mobile operating system versions….
I know Android's fragmentation is pretty annoying to most people. It's also a main point of criticism Microsoft (and Nokia) have with the system, but it seems some people are going to leave the WP8 launch party with some egg on their face. Great execution it will not be.
I can't wait until Windows Phone Apollo finally arrives, and recommend you also hold off buying that first new Windows Phone handset until Nokia can deliver "its finest work"!

Religious studies faculty began designing research projects on local religious communities and organizations—and in some instances, sought internal and external grant funding to support their work—in 2003. This section of the website outlines the rationale for this facet of LRP, provides brief overviews of current projects, and includes copies of grant proposals, conference presentations, and publications since faculty began this work in 2003.
The objectives of LRP's faculty research program are:
Intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive-- for Santa Clara faculty interested in the LRP faculty grants and research program are as follows:
Future research directions include faith-based social capital development, representation of religion in local media and public squares, and religion on the campuses of local universities. LRP continues to seek internal and external grants to fund this program and to encourage broader participation of students, SCU faculty, and affiliated scholars in this work.
To learn more about our research initiatives, please see the LRP faculty's projects below.

I just wanted to send out one more plea to the Christians in this county. Be God's soldiers and stand up for the right to protect our children and grandchildren from seeing and being able to buy alcohol in our stores as they grow up. If we turn our backs on this we will answer for it. If we all stand together and vote "No," everyone, even if you don't go to church, you can be against it. Don't vote "Yes" just because someone asks you to.
There are probably hundreds of Christians in Owen County who feel as I do concerning the wet/dry vote coming up on July 26.
We are against the expanded sale of alcohol in our county. We will go to the polls and vote no.
It will take a combined effort of all Christians, countywide, to get out and vote no on this issue.
Scripture says that drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of God (I Corinthians 6:9-10). Plus, our own conscience guides us to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior.
Pat O. Craigmyle
Attention pastors in Owen County, please address from your pulpit we need to keep the county dry. If you have elderly people that need a ride to vote, help find them one.
As an older lady living in Owen County almost all my life, I have seen a lot of changes in our world, some good and some bad. I pray we never see the change of Owen County voted wet.
The Bible says we reap what we sow. We will reap great consequences if this is voted wet. Think about our teens and young people. They are tempted with enough.
Each time I try and set a fence post on my rocky property, I am painfully reminded that my love of Owen County is not based on the quality of the land.
No, my love stems from the way of life that can be found here. Owen County is set apart from its neighboring counties for one reason, and that is the good people who live here. The lifestyle we all enjoy has come as the result of our faithful citizens standing for what is best for the entire community.
On July 26, Christ followers have a chance to vote "no" to alcohol sales and protect our children and grandchildren from further heartache and family turmoil. I see this every day in my practice — extended family taking care of children whose homes have been torn apart by drugs and alcohol. I fought to preserve my father's dental building, and I am fighting to preserve our way of life. Our children deserve the right to also grow up in a community without alcohol sales on every corner.
Here are some facts to consider:
Trigg County, Kentucky decided to try to boost its economy and held a local-option election in the fall of 2009.
It passed by 36 votes. They projected $1 million in sales as a result of the election, but they were wrong. It brought more than $2 million in gross sales. These figures do not include the non-alcoholic products purchased on the same visits.
Here are some other noteworthy facts about their first full year of alcohol sales:
Alcohol tax money received (city and county) for 2010 is nearly $130,000.
On July 26, make your decision based on facts, not opinion.
Over the last several months, I have heard that if Owen County becomes wet we will have more drunken drivers on the road and DUIs will increase; however, this has not been the case in other Kentucky counties.
For example:
• Danville — dry to wet DUI rate dropped by 33 percent
• Pike County — dry to wet DUI rate dropped by 40 percent
• Hopkins County — dry to wet DUI rate dropped by 48 percent
From a financial perspective, Owen countians are committed to coughing up approximately $25,000 for the upcoming special election on July 26.
If the county votes to go "wet," we may need to hire an alcohol administrator — another salaried employee with benefits. This position could be handled by the county judge-executive, but it is very time-consuming and other counties have found that they eventually had to hire another person.
I am writing this letter in response to a previous letter in the June 22 News-Herald.
While I realize that the people, not alcohol, cause problems, I feel that when you mix alcohol and human weakness, it creates a multitude of problems.
I came from a family of five children with an alcoholic father. As a result of this, each of the five children was raised by different families.
While people make the choice, the choice is easier to make when you don't have a beer joint or package liquor store down the street.
The title of the letter to the editor published in last week's paper was "Adults, not alcohol, are responsible for actions." Very true, that is, if you are limiting the discussion to revolve around adults only. In that same edition of the newspaper, there were nine charges listed in the District Court news that involved "operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol." One of those nine charges was against an underage person.

Ill. police to go high-tech for ticketing
Handwritten tickets about to become a thing of the past
By Matt Buedel
Beginning last week, officers in the traffic division became the first to use a program that automatically reads information from driver's licenses to fill out portions of traffic citations, then prints out violation forms.
Patrol cars will be the next to be equipped with the technology, essentially making handwritten tickets — and the subsequent processes of manually entering information into databases — a thing of the past.

Why the New Breast Cancer Guidelines Are Racist
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Some might think the word racist is overused and too harsh for the new breast cancer guidelines, issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. The fact is, though, the new rules that call for raising the recommended age for women to begin getting mammograms from 40 to 50 ignore the thousands of Black women who die from the disease each year. Black women, in fact, are typically diagnosed with cancer at a younger age than white women, and at a more advanced stage of the disease. The appropriate protocol for women of color would be to receive mammograms earlier not later.
When you entirely dismiss a segment of the population, and that population happens to be a racial minority — one that is at a greater risk of dying from breast cancer than any other population — what do you call it? It might not be overt racism, but these new guidelines are the very definition of institutionalized racial discrimination.
Here are some facts to consider, courtesy of Sisters Network, the Black Women's Health Imperative and the American Cancer Society:
- An estimated 19,540 Black women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and more than 6,000 will die.
- Black women are 53 percent more likely than white women to be diagnosed at a later stage in the disease, and about 26 percent are less likely to receive radiation after breast-conserving surgery.
- Black women are more than twice as likely to receive no surgery at all and 39 percent more likely to die from breast cancer.
And the worst of it is the government appears to be making the change in order to appease or shore up the bottom line of the insurance industry.
The new guidelines
As we know, Black women are often diagnosed at an earlier age, but in a more advanced stage of breast cancer. Just as the federal agency announced it would make the change, many health education advocates for racial minorities were beginning to campaign to lower the age from 40 to 35.
Health educators have said one of their biggest obstacles in educating Black women about breast cancer is that much of the existing prevention information is not inclusive enough of women of color — something that isn't likely to change with the new guidelines.
The move will be save a lot of money for the insurance industry, but those savings come at a huge cost for women in general, and especially women of color. These new recommendations will undoubtedly affect insurance coverage, and women under 50 will likely have to pay out of pocket for breast cancer exams, which will, of course, play a part in determining how many have them.
"We were all very surprised and taken aback," said Karen E. Jackson, the founder and CEO of Sisters Network, a national, Texas-based nonprofit that provides education, services and support for women affected by the disease. "These guidelines are going to have a negative, crucial impact on our survival."
In October, we marked Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and what was often missed in that sea of pink ribbons were Black mothers, sisters and daughters, even though we are 38 percent more likely to die of breast cancer than our white counterparts. Some of this disparity is explained by socioeconomic factors, insurance coverage and the fact that health care professionals sometimes communicate differently with people of color. But the prevailing wisdom is that Black women aren't getting tested, and they are not getting tested early enough.
Sisters ignored, again
As the new guidelines hit the mainstream news media, not one major organzation seemed to notice how they would affect Black women. Criticism surfaced quickly, but the race factor was missing from the debate.

DVD & Blu-ray review: Merlin: Complete Series 5 (12)
Friday 25 January 2013
The BBC's polished Saturday-night entertainment will be sorely missed.
Anthony Head's stern king has checked out, so now the groovier, prettier Arthur rules the kingdom with his hunky knights of the round table. Of course, it's the put-upon sorcerer Merlin (Colin Morgan) who's really keeping Camelot operation afloat. There's much to recommend about this mythical hokum – from John Hurt's dragon to Katie McGrath deliciously wicked witch – but it's the droll, sweet love story between Merlin and Arthur that compels in this far murkier final series.

Smooch Your Pooch—adorable story with dangerous advice

Submitted by LD | December 16 2010 | Permalink
Great point! My pup likes to be hugged, but only by his nearest and dearest. Sometimes we go to a park where a little boy goes with his father and their Lab. The little boy is all over the Lab -- hugging her, lying on top of her -- and she is endlessly patient with him. But he tries to hug my Boxer, too, and it does not go over so well with him. The little boy doesn't understand why my dog runs away every time he gets near him, no matter how many times his father and I explain to him that he can't hug other people's dogs. I'm just glad my guy dodges him instead of snapping.
