So the teams are set! The Cortland State Dragons for the North and the Gettysburg Bullets for the South. At stake, only the 2009 crown!!!
What a time to have PC issues. So after burning through my hard drive I am finally back online. I would've had both games wrong in the D3 Final Four so I'm okay with missing out on a post. One comment stated that I crawled up in a shell after Salisbury lost. I laughed, but there were some PC issues and a trip to Dewey caused there to be not enough time to get around to the PC issues.
I didn't see the Stevenson game. Were they cocky and didn't think that they had to show up? From a Stevenson fan, I got a text stating, "Gettysburg is real good." So they must've shocked the team and all the Mustang faithful.
Cortland has such a young offense and were able to put a stamp on their victory over the Panthers of Middlebury. I did not see this beat down coming. Middlebury was loaded with upperclassmen and seemed to have been on a roll, especially after the Wesleyan game. Regardless of the outcome of this game, they have put in their application to be a great team for years to come and it has been accepted.
The 2009 D3 National Championship Game!!
Cortland beat the snot out of Gettysburg 14-8 earlier in the season, but this is not the same Bullets team as we saw in March. But it also is not the same Cortland team, this is a finely tuned machine who has come out to play after a lazy mid season.
Gettysburg is 0-2 in D3 National Championship appearances losing twice to Middlebury in '01,'02.
Cortland has themselves a D2 Championship with a win over Hobart from 1975 and has a 1-4 D3 National Championship record winning in 2006 against Salisbury and two losses to each Hobart and Salisbury.
This will be Cortland's 4th consecutive D3 National Championship game appearance. This feat has been matched by 3 other teams (Hobart 12, Salisbury 6, Middlebury 5)
Advantage: EVEN - Cortland is young so their numbers don't match up to Gburg's experience.
Advantage: EVEN - Both have a solid first line and SSM's.
Advantage: Cortland
Advantage: Gettysburg
Advantage: Gettysburg - Kehoe.
Advantage: Even - Hank has the years, but Beville has the recent NC experience.
Overall Advantage: Slightly to Cortland
Prediction: Cortland 13-10

Protection for all but winter's worst.
The way we see it, there are three tiers of cold-weather gloves that any year-round cycling wardrobe has to meet. The classic knit glove is the first piece of cold-weather kit we put on in fall and the last we take off in spring. The heavyweight lobster glove is the kingpin of winter cycling, keeping your fingers warm through the worst conditions. In between these two extremes lie the Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Softshell Lite Gloves, which thrive in temperatures ranging from the high-30s to the mid-50s, providing enough insulation and wind-resistance to keep the cold out without causing us to overheat and get all clammy with sweat.
The back of the gloves are P.R.O. Softshell fabric, a wind- and water-resistant material that also insulates and wicks. This results in warm, dry cycling for your hands but without the extra insulation of the regular P.R.O. Softshell Gloves. The palms are made of soft, durable Clarino synthetic leather, and the index fingers and thumbs are tipped with a bit of the same but with conductive properties so you can touchscreen away without exposing your fingers to the cold.
These materials are laid out with Pearl's 1:1 glove fit and palm construction, so you'll enjoy freedom of movement with no restriction between the thumb and forefinger while your hands are on the hoods. The wrist cuff is exaggerated to keep the winter yuck out of the glove and a soft bit of windproof fleece on the thumb lets you wipe that same yuck off your face mid-ride. Reflective elements help keep you visible in low-light conditions.
The Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Softshell Lite Gloves are available in six sizes ranging from X-Small to XX-Large in the colors Black and White.

A good cool-weather glove
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium and Large
I bought these for my wife and I along with the Cyclone glove to compare. The materials and construction are nearly identical with the exception that the Cyclone has gel padding, whereas these have a smooth palm. I decided to return these and keep the Cyclone, as the fit was slightly better. We prefer a smooth palm for off-road riding but like gel on the road, and these were purchased with the intent to use them on the road bikes. I must emphasize, however, that while Pearl's label rates these as a 40-60 degree glove, this is NOT a 40 degree glove. It has a thin wind-block membrane on the back but virtually no insulation. Add on a 20-30mph windchill and I guarantee you will be cold. No, I would rate these more upper 40s (yeah, I know I am splitting hairs here, but there is a huge difference between 40 and a sunny 47 in my book!) and low 60s.
Perfect for 45 - 60 degree weather
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: XL
These are a little too cool below 40 degrees. They fit a little tight around the knuckles but otherwise a great fit. The strip for wiping the nose is excellent. They fit nicely over arm warmers or jacket. Can wear them and operate the Garmin or smartphone.
perfect fall and mild winter gloves
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: XS
Fantastic gloves. I tend to get really hot, sweaty, and clammy in any season if I don't have breathable gear, so insulated gloves aren't an option unless it's really freezing.
These are perfect. Waterproof, windproof softshell, nice nose-wipe on the thumb, index finger works on smartphone sleeves, and the inside is comfortable, except for a loose stitch that poked me in the finger for the first few rides until it wore away.
I've worn them in about 60 degrees, and my hands started to sweat a bit. In 50-degree wind and rain, my hands stayed dry and very comfortable, no clamminess or sweat. I think they'll be good down to about 40.
What I really like about them is the lack of fleece and other fabrics on the outside of the glove that tend to deteriorate quickly and pill. It's all softshell material, or the faux-leather on the palm, which is very tacky with cork bar wrap. The gel pads on the middle finger are a nice touch, and actually provide a lot of grip on the brake/shifter lever.
Sizing is consistent with most other brands. I wear an XS in Arcteryx, Sugoi, and Giro gloves, fit is consistent with that (I like them very very tight).
These are exactly what I wanted...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These are rated for 40-60 and I would agree they work well in those ranges.The reason I chose these is because they have no gel inserts and touchscreen compatibility. After riding the summer with no gloves on some nice cushy bar tape I came to realize my gloves were the reason for my hands numbing.The gel was putting pressure on the nerve. Anyway these are great (not always a fan of Izumi's look) and perform well. I had them on today 45 degrees and hands were fine. Wore them down to 38F a lil chilly at start but fine for the rest of ride..I LOVE these!!
versatile and durable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My hands easily get cold even when I am bundled up. Given their light weight, these gloves are surprisingly warm but they breathe well enough to keep on as the day warms up during spring and fall rides. I like that they allow great dexterity to open things and manipulate zippers. I use them with lobster shells like those from Assos on days when the temperature starts or ends below 40 f.
Unnecessary Temp Range
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I used these commuting for a week in the 35-55 temp range, with limited success. The softshell on these covers the back of the hand, but the space between the fingers is a breathable membrane, which lets in too much cold air. My hands eventually warmed up, but it took squishing my fingers together and some aggressive pedaling for that to happen. For temps above 50, they're fine, but that's essentially where I stop wearing full-finger gloves anyway.
If you're charging hard, these might work, but a commuter moving with traffic probably won't generate the necessary heat to make them valuable. The PI Thermal Conductive gloves are far superior, for almost half the cost, and they come in obnoxious yellow for added visibility.
Yes, yes, yes
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love these gloves. The fit is trim, there's no padding to bulk them up, and they do an excellent job of keeping my hands warm to about 50/55 degrees. I also use them as running gloves in colder weather, for which they're the best ever.

The Fiscal Cliff Drama, in WSJ Graphics
The "fiscal cliff," when a package of spending cuts and tax increases is set to go into effect unless the White House and Congress negotiate an alternative, is fast approaching. Here's a look at the players, their positions and the fallout if a deal isn't reached.
The plot. Some things have changed in the American fiscal drama since 2011, writes David Wessel. For one, President Barack Obama is campaigning in public this time to put pressure on the Republicans and spread the view that it's their fault if the U.S. goes over the cliff. But the plot is very similar: Republicans, particularly Speaker of the House John Boehner of Ohio, continue to balk at raising tax rates, while Mr. Obama and his Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, say they don't see any alternative to raising tax rates on those with annual incomes over $250,000 if the deficit is to be reduced without eviscerating government programs or raising taxes on the middle class. Here are some proposals for taxing high-income Americans:
Economic forecast. If policy makers don't act before the end of the year, the economy would contract by 0.5% in 2013, according to economists of the Congressional Budget Office, and the unemployment rate would jump from 7.9% to 9.1% by the end of 2013. If all the spending cuts and tax increases are avoided, CBO forecast the U.S. economy would grow by about 1.7% next year. Here's a look at the CBO forecast for GDP and employment in fourth quarter 2013 if the fiscal cliff is avoided:
Revenue. The White House's aggressive public campaign to build support for its approach to reduce the deficit through tax increases and spending cuts came last week as many Republicans appeared to have softened their antitax rhetoric in the wake of the election, with many openly acknowledging that higher taxes will likely be part of any plan to reduce the deficit. Here's a look at what limiting tax breaks on top earners and what restoring higher rates on top earners would yield in revenue over 10 years:
The tax system. The crying need at the moment isn't merely to avoid going off a fiscal cliff at the end of the year—but to get beyond that into a serious conversation about how the American government should be funded for the next generation, writes Jerry Seib. The U.S. tax system was essentially created in 1913 and last seriously updated in 1986–before the Internet had any commercial use, before most of us had cellphones, before the U.S. began running $1 trillion annual deficits, before the oldest baby boomers retired and before income inequality had become a global phenomenon.
Reworking the tax code. The White House wants major changes to the tax code as part of any deficit deal, potentially raising revenue from a number of sectors. Click on the image to the left to see which sectors would be affected.
Limiting deductions. Many residents of more affluent states with higher home prices and state and local taxes would see their tax bill rise significantly if the idea of limiting personal tax breaks gains momentum on Capitol Hill. Both Democrats and Republicans view the idea as a way to raise revenue and shrink the deficit. See average tax deductions and charitable contributions by state based on 2010 IRS data, as well as other measurements of how people pay taxes:
Business pulse. Nearly three-quarters of the chief executives who attended The Wall Street Journal's CEO Council in November listed the fiscal cliff as their biggest worry on the global landscape. Ninety percent indicated they would favor a package that included at least one dollar in tax increases for every four dollars in spending cuts. Only 33% believe there will be a constructive deficit deal by year end.
Spending. Companies are scaling back investment amid fiscal and economic uncertainty: Capital spending, which helped propel the economic recovery, fell 1.3% in the third quarter from the second quarter as confidence eroded among large corporations. Unless the business investment slowdown reverses quickly, it could weigh further on growth prospects and the stock market.
Personal finance. Many analysts fear the fiscal cliff will threaten the bull market in stocks that began in 2009. Here's advice from Weekend Investor on how to play the fiscal cliff:
How will you be affected by tax changes? Here are some scenarios for how different groups of people will be affected by the tax changes that will take place if the fiscal cliff isn't resolved by Jan. 1. A typical single student in the $10,000-$20,000 income range, for example, would face an increase of 37.9%, the second highest among all singles.
Gas tax. States and business advocates are maneuvering to use the budget negotiations to win support for a long-sought increase in the federal gasoline tax. The federal gas tax was last raised in 1993 and 1990, each time as part of a deficit-reduction plan. The government spends roughly $52 billion a year on highway and transit projects, but the gasoline tax is generating only about $37 billion annually. That has created a roughly $15 billion annual shortfall that Congress has filled in recent years by taking money from the government's general fund.
Medicare and federal spending. The fiscal cliff has revived the idea of idea of gradually raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67 from 65, as the Medicare program is a key focus in negotiations to avert the fiscal cliff. Last year, the program's net expenditures totaled $486 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office, or 13.5% of all federal spending.
Deal makers scramble. The threat of losing gains to the tax man has some companies, private-equity shops, venture capitalists and corporate insiders looking to book profits in the waning days of the year. Even if some potential changes are dialed back, tax rates on qualified dividends and long-term capital gains are widely expected to rise for some taxpayers from their current top rates, both 15%.
Estate tax. Little about averting the fiscal cliff is simple, in part because its many moving parts draw supporters and opponents across the spectrum. While the GOP criticized President Obama's opening bid for tax and spending increases with limited entitlement cuts, at least three Democratic senators, Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Max Baucus of Montana and Mark Pryor of Arkansas, have parted ways with the White House on the president's call to raise the estate tax as part of a bid to strike a deficit-cutting deal before year's end. Under the president's proposal, some 7,500 estates would owe taxes next year, compared with 4,000 if current policy continued, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center. If the White House and Congress take no action, the current tax cut will expire, and the rate will rise to 55% next year and apply to assets above $1 million.
Special dividends. Investors are seeing a jump in the number of companies making big one-time payouts to stem a possible increase to the dividend-tax rate in the new year. Costco, Las Vegas Sands and Whole Foods are among the companies to pay special dividends to get ahead of the so-called fiscal cliff. Dividend-tax rates could increase from 15% to as much as 40% if tax cuts aren't extended before 2013. Click on the image above to sort through the list of companies that have announced special dividends.
Tax burden. Harvard University economics professor Martin Feldstein has devised a plan that he says could raise considerable revenue for the government. The Feldstein proposal would limit the value of a household's combined tax breaks to a specific percentage of its income—for example, 2% or 5%. Here's how it would work: Suppose a household earns $1 million in income and has $100,000 in itemized deductions and other breaks, and pays tax at the top rate of 35%. Shielding $100,000 from tax reduces the household's tax bill by $35,000—or 3.5% of its income—all things being equal. If enacted at 2%, the Feldstein proposal would limit the value of the household's tax breaks to $20,000, boosting its tax bill by $15,000. Other approaches abound. (See the chart above and read more.)
Post-cliff tax bite: The bill approved by Congress to avert the fiscal cliff would bring the first major tax increase on high earners in 20 years. For taxpayers with more than $400,000 in taxable income or couples with $450,000, the top marginal tax rate would rise to 39.6% in 2013 from 35% in 2012. Americans at all income levels would see a two-percentage-point jump in the employee portion of the Social Security tax.
2013 tax increases. The most immediate effect of the bill for millions of wage earners would be the payroll-tax increase. For an individual earning the maximum 2013 cap of $113,700 or more, the increase would amount to nearly $200 per month.
Top tax rates. The top rates on ordinary income and capital gains have been moving downward for decades.
Grade of incomplete. The deal reached by Congress to avert the fiscal cliff would do something but not much to reduce future deficits, writes David Wessel. And it would do nothing to control spending. Another nail-biter over the debt ceiling appears almost certain.
How Congress voted. Click on the sortable table above to find out how each member of Congress voted on the legislation to avert the fiscal cliff.
Deficit. The fiscal-cliff bill is estimated to reduce budget deficits by about $737 billion over 10 years from what the Congressional Budget Office projected it would otherwise be, the White House said Wednesday. About $104 billion of that comes from interest savings because the government will be borrowing less; nearly all the rest comes from higher taxes.
Revenue from tax provisions. About $620 billion in revenue is projected over 10 years from tax provisions in the fiscal-cliff deal.

High school seems like it will last forever, but college is just around the corner. As you prepare to make the big jump, you may want to begin considering how different schools stack up in six key areas. Think of them as the Six Secrets of College Choice.
Areas of StudyIt may sound like a no-brainer, but choose a school offering the subject matter that interests you. Also remember that most students change majors along the way. It's a safe bet to consider schools that offer a broad foundation of courses in literature, philosophy, history, political science and mathematics (the "liberal arts"). These courses discuss how to think about the world and are essential to any quality education.
LocationMake sure the school you choose is in a place that offers activities you enjoy and diverse job opportunities in case you stay there after you graduate.
SizeExplore the advantages of different-sized schools and consider where you fit in best.
Entrance requirementsBe realistic about your abilities, and know that most selective schools offer challenging programs for above-average students who show a range of abilities.
EnvironmentVisit the schools on your short list and interact with current students to get a true feel for each school's atmosphere. Is there social and co-curricular involvement? Do most students live on campus or off? How good are the student services?
CostDon't rule out any school based on its "sticker price." Most have significant financial aid opportunities that can cut the cost by as much as half for many students.

Press Release
(Little Rock – September 26, 2012)
Every animal has a story. Thanks to the dedicated work at the state's most progressive shelter, there are many more happy endings to those animal stories here in the Capital City. A celebration for the 5th anniversary of the Little Rock Animal Village's opening is being planning for October 6th.
The community is invited to help LRAV honor this milestone during its Fall Paw-ty, an event that runs from 10-2 and involves discounted microchipping and vaccines, a raffle, a pet photographer and a contest for Cutest Dog and Cat. The event is free and open to the public. People who adopted pets from the Village are also invited to attend with their furry family members.
The LRAV has rescued and found homes for hundreds of animals. It accepts all breeds of dogs and cats, regardless of their special needs.
Part of the Animal Village's mission is to help animals become good pets. Some dogs are afraid of human contact. Many volunteers help socialize them so they can be placed in a loving home. Their accomplishments will also be recognized at the Paw-ty.
Although the LRAV is turning 5 this year, it shows no sign of slowing down. In recent years, the Village has prided itself on an improved education program, raising awareness about animal welfare.
Some education opportunities provided by the Animal Village include school and community group visits, and even educational birthday parties, where children can celebrate their birthday surrounded by animals. This helps get the message to the public to learn that spaying and neutering pets is the smartest and safest option for animal welfare. As this decreases the birth rate of unwanted animals and helps stop the spread of many diseases between pets.
"The public is very generous to the LRAV," said Manager Tracy Roark. "The community is very supportive."
Roark says LRAV receives many volunteers, but there is never a shortage of jobs to do. Other duties go to members of the shelter's staff.
"If an animal needs to be helped, we will help it," Roark stated. "This work is physically and emotionally a hard job - but it's very rewarding. It's a passion."
LRAV is looking forward to its 5th anniversary celebration, which will run from 10-2 p.m. on October 6th. For more information on the party or on the Little Rock Animal Village go to http://www.littlerock.org/citydepartments/housing_programs/animalservices

The Stetson baseball program recently added a pair of state champion players to the roster, growing the signing class for 2014 to 10 players.
The Hatters signed right-handed pitcher Mitchell Jordan from Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs as well as infielder Colton Lightner from Venice High School. Both players led their teams to state titles this past spring, Jordan in 8A and Lightner in 7A.
"We didn't have a very big recruiting class this year because we were so young last year, but we certainly had some needs that I think we addressed," Hatters head coach Pete Dunn said. "I think these two young men, and the others we signed in the fall, will make us stronger."
Jordan helped Lake Brantley to a 27-5 overall record this past spring, earning the Orlando Sentinel's honor as the Central Florida Player of the Year. He finished the year with an 11-1 record and a 0.93 ERA in 83 innings of work. He recorded 103 strikeouts against just 13 walks and posted seven complete game performances, including four shutouts.
"What he brings to the table is a lot of success, coming off a state championship team," Dunn said. "He is going to step right in and be a contributor on the mound. He has a track record of success and was the main cog on the mound for an 8A state championship team. He is a winner, and that means a lot."
Jordan chose Stetson over a number of other schools, including Belmont, USC Upstate, Jacksonville and Marshall.
Like Jordan, Lightner was a state champion at Venice High, but went a step further by helping his team to back-to-back state crowns. The Indians, who finished the 2013 season with a 29-3 record, earned a No. 2 national ranking from Baseball America and Perfect Game.
Lightner hit .306 as a senior and was the MVP of the 2013 Perfect Game Showdown.
"Colton Lightner is another state championship guy," Dunn said. "He is a jack of all trades and is very versatile. He is the kind of player who can come in and help us right away."
Lightner, who chose Stetson over Coastal Carolina, said there were a combination of factors that led to his decision.
"The tremendous prestige of the Stetson baseball program and coaching staff ultimately led to my decision to attend Stetson," Lightner said. "I also like the academic credentials the school has to offer."

U.S., Israel Fear Pickup in Iranian Support of Hamas
TEL AVIV—Iran's support for the Palestinian militant group Hamas has diminished significantly in the past three years, limiting Tehran's influence over talks to end the war in the Gaza Strip, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.
But the longer the war between Israel and Hamas drags on, these officials said, there's growing concern that Tehran could try to increase arms shipments to Hamas.
On Tuesday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for the replenishing of Hamas's military arsenal. "The Muslim world has a duty to arm the Palestinian nation by all means," he said in a speech ending the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Iran's security services have historically been the largest supplier of arms and cash to Hamas, the Islamist group that gained control of Gaza in 2007 following an internal military conflict with the secular Palestinian party Fatah.
Tehran is also the major backer of a second Palestinian militia, Islamic Jihad, which has joined Hamas in firing rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip over the past three weeks.
Iran, however, has significantly scaled back its support for Hamas since 2011, due to both economic and political considerations, according to Israeli and American officials.
Iran and Hamas split over their support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad following the breakout of a civil war in Syria that year. Shiite-dominate Iran has since stepped-up its backing of the Syrian regime, while Hamas, a Sunni organization, pulled its leadership from its Damascus headquarters nearly three years ago after Mr. Assad began a violent crackdown on his largely Sunni opponents.
"Hamas has lost friends, particularly military supplies and training" that Iran provided to the organization through Syria, said a senior Israeli defense official. "And Iranian funds were diverted to PIJ [Palestinian Islamic Jihad] from Hamas."
U.S. officials believe pervasive international sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program have also limited Tehran's ability to fund its proxies in the Palestinian territories, Lebanon and Syria.
Some Iranian arms have continued to flow to Hamas in recent months, said U.S. and Israeli officials, through the Egyptian Sinai region. And Hamas's weapons trade with Libya has flourished.
Qatar and Turkey, however, have supplanted Iran as the biggest financial backers of Hamas in recent years, according to U.S. and Israeli officials. Qatar alone has pledged to fund the salaries of the Gaza Strip's local, Hamas-dominated government.
U.S. officials said this shift in Hamas's support base explains why Qatari capital Doha and Turkish Capital Ankara have emerged as Secretary of State John Kerry's primary intermediaries with the Palestinian organization in recent days.
Last week, Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid al-Attiya and Turkey's chief diplomat, Ahmet Davutoglu, were regularly ferrying messages to Hamas's political chief, Khaled Meshaal, at his base in Qatar's capital during frantic cease-fire talks.
"You barely hear Iran mentioned in relation to the talks," said a senior U.S. official.

- New Program Developed Following Meetings to Address Patient Questions and Concerns -
North Hollywood, CA, April 16, 2007 -- The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) - supporting research and providing education, advocacy and support for myeloma patients, families, researchers and physicians - today applauded CELGENE for establishing the new "Patient Support Coordinator" program. Patient Support Coordinators are oncology nurses and other trained professionals available by phone to help patients work their way through the complexities of drug access and reimbursement. The program was developed following a series of meetings where the IMF had the opportunity to raise patient concerns about access to cancer drugs, reimbursement by Medicare and private insurance, co-pay assistance from foundations and free access to drugs for the uninsured.
"The newest drugs are dramatically improving the outlook for myeloma, but they can help patients only if they have access to them," said Susie Novis, president and co-founder of the International Myeloma Foundation. "Our own professional Hotline documented growing concerns about reimbursement and drug access especially with complex changes in Medicare part D. We thank CELGENE for listening to these concerns and responding with this new support program."
The Patient Support Coordinator program will provide patients with a direct connection to trained professionals within the company to help answer their questions and resolve issues concerning drug access: reimbursement, Medicare, co-pay assistance programs and the CELGENE free drug program for patients who are uninsured and underinsured. The program was developed following a meeting last year between Susie Novis, IMF chairman Brian G.M. Durie, M.D., and CELGENE senior management, and subsequent conference calls with CELGENE representatives and the IMF's own Hotline professionals who hear directly from patients about their concerns. The PSC program was unveiled at the IMF meeting in Phoenix for leaders of myeloma support groups nationwide as well as from France and Canada.
"I believe CELGENE has really stepped up to the plate with this program," said Michael Tuohy of Prospect, Connecticut. "I'm a patient myself, leader of the Connecticut regional support group and my wife Robin is regional director of patient support groups for the IMF, so I know first hand the stress a patient can feel when you are afraid you won't have access to a life saving drug because you can't afford the insurance deductible. Too often patients are told they don't qualify for assistance, or there is no money available for them. That's why we are very appreciative when companies care enough to help us work our way through the system to find the resources we may desperately need."
Myeloma, also called multiple myeloma, is a cancer of the bone marrow that affects production of red cells, white cells and stem cells. It affects an estimated 750,000 people worldwide, and in industrialized countries it is being diagnosed in growing in numbers and in increasingly younger people. There is no cure, but by using new therapies sequentially and in combination, doctors are moving myeloma toward becoming a chronic disease.
ABOUT The International Myeloma Foundation
The International Myeloma Foundation is the oldest and largest myeloma organization, reaching more than 135,000 members in 113 countries worldwide. A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients and their families, the IMF focuses on four key areas: research, education, support and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 100 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned hotline, and operates Bank on a Cure®, a unique gene bank to advance myeloma research.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is considered the formative figure in the modern fight for civil rights, and his legacy looms large in the work of all those who follow him in his cause. Dr. King's involvement with the NAACP dates back to his position on the executive committee of the NAACP Montgomery Branch in the 1950's, through his leadership in the various boycotts, marches and rallies of the 1960's, and up until his assassination in 1968. In 1957 the NAACP awarded him the Spingarn Medal, its most prestigious honor. In 1964, he received a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. Dr. King pushed America to fulfill its promise of equal rights for all. We honor his life and his legacy by recommitting ourselves to keeping his dream alive.
"I have come to see more and more that one of the most decisive steps that the Negro can take is that little walk to the voting booth. That is an important step. We've got to gain the ballot, and through that gain, political power."
- NAACP Emancipation Day Rally, January 1, 1957
Dr. King was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1929. As a child he never failed to ask discerning questions about the world around him. Though his father was a reverend, King initially had many doubts about the Christian religion, and it was only after years of schooling that he became convinced that religion could be both "intellectually and emotionally satisfying." (Source: http://www.tikkun.org/article.php/nov_dec_09_scofield) King graduated at the top of his class from Morehouse College and moved on to Boston University where he earned his Ph.D. in systematic theology.
In June 1953 King married Coretta Scott, a student at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. The following year King, now finished with his religious education, followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a pastor for the Drexel Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.
"We have no alternative but to protest. For many years we have shown an amazing patience... But we come here tonight to be saved from that patience that makes us patient with anything less than freedom and justice."
- Montgomery, Alabama, December 5, 1955
When King arrived in Montgomery he saw a city that was highly segregated. One of the "Jim Crow" laws required the first four rows on public buses to be reserved for white people, while "colored" riders had to sit in the back of the bus. On December 1, 1955, barely a year after King's arrival, the secretary of the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP refused to move from her seat in the front of the bus. Rosa Parks was arrested and sent to jail, but her act of defiance inspired the burgeoning civil rights movement in Montgomery. The Montgomery Improvement Association was formed with the NAACP Executive Committee and officers of the Montgomery NAACP, which had at that point been banned in the state. The Association led a boycott of the bus system, and King, already a member of the NAACP's executive committee, was chosen as its leader.
The boycott lasted for over a year, during which time King was threatened, arrested and even had his house bombed. However, by December 1956 the MIA had won a clear victory – the United States District Court ruled in Browder v. Gayle that racial segregation on buses was unconstitutional.
"The end of violence or the aftermath of violence is bitterness. The aftermath of nonviolence is reconciliation and the creation of a beloved community. A boycott is never an end within itself. It is merely a means to awaken a sense of shame within the oppressor but the end is reconciliation, the end is redemption."
- The Power of Nonviolence, 1957
Emboldened by his success in Montgomery and a rise to national prominence, in 1957 King joined other civil rights activists to found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. King was elected president. Inspired by the ideals of nonviolence espoused by Mahatma Gandhi, he promoted civil disobedience as the best method to fight for civil rights. The SCLC led sit-ins and marches for various local causes, all with the aim to end segregation and disenfranchisement of black voters. Though the protesters did their best to remain peaceful, they were occasionally met with violence from authorities, and King was arrested multiple times. Throughout this, King's profile continued to grow.
"I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
- Letter from Birmingham Jail, 1963
King was arrested during a rally in Birmingham that sought to end segregation at lunch counters. While in jail he wrote "Letter from Birmingham Jail", which defended his views on racial justice and nonviolence. It was considered the "manifesto" of the civil rights movement (Source: http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1964/king-bio.html) and further inspired black Americans to join the cause. At this point King was one of the national leaders of a movement that was rapidly growing across the nation, and in 1963 King joined with other leaders to capitalize on the moment with an enormous rally for civil rights.
"In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men - yes, black men as well as white men - would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness... America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds.'"
- "I Have a Dream", August 28, 1963
The historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was a collaborative effort by the major civil rights groups and icons of the day, including A. Phillip Randolph, the renowned labor leader who originally conceived of such a march, and Roy Wilkins, Executive Secretary of the NAACP. Feeding off of a rapidly growing tide of grassroots support and outrage over the nation's racial inequities, the rally drew over 260,000 people from across the nation. King's celebrated speech, "I Have a Dream", was carried live by television stations across the country. "I Have a Dream" is remembered as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, speech of the 20th century.
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood."
- "I Have a Dream", August 28, 1963
It didn't take long for King's dream to come to fruition. After a decade of continued lobbying of Congress and the President led by the NAACP, plus other peaceful protests for civil rights, President Lyndon Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964. One year later, he signed the National Voting Rights Act of 1965. Together, these laws outlawed discrimination against blacks and women, effectively ending segregation, and sought to end disenfranchisement by making discriminatory voting practices illegal. Ten years after King joined the civil rights fight, the campaign to secure the enactment of the 1964 Civil Rights Act had achieved its goal - to ensure that black citizens would have the power to represent themselves in government.
"They told us we wouldn't get here. And there were those who said that we would get here only over their dead bodies. But all the world today knows that we are here and we are standing before the forces of power in the state of Alabama saying, 'We ain't goin' let nobody turn us around.'"
- "Our God is Marching On!", March 25, 1965
Of course, the fight was not over. Over the next few years King continued to lead marches and rallies across the country. In 1965 King helped organize three marches to the Alabama state capitol to protest continued voting rights violations. The first march ended in violence, as police used tear gas and billy clubs against the peaceful protestors. Undeterred by "Bloody Sunday", the activists marched twice more and finally reached the capitol in an emotional validation of their rights on March 25.
"I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
- "I've Been to the Mountaintop", April 3, 1968
During this period King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and the American Liberties Medallion by the American Jewish Committee. He broadened his focus and began to speak out against the Vietnam War and the economic injustice that plagued the nation. King was concerned that the United States government was spending money on a wasteful war while it should have been directed toward programs to help the nation's poorest citizens.
In early April, 1968, King visited Memphis, Tennessee to support the local black sanitary public works union. On April 4, King was shot to death by James Earl Ray in his hotel in Memphis. President Johnson called a national day of mourning on April 7. In 1983 Congress cemented King's legacy as an American icon by declaring the third Monday of every January Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
"If you give your life to a cause in which you believe, and if it is right and just, and if your life comes to an end as a result of this, then your life could not have been spent in a more redemptive way. I think that is what my husband has done."
- Coretta Scott King, April 9, 1968
Dr. King's legacy has inspired civil rights activists for the past forty years, and will continue to do so as long as there is injustice in the world. Organizations like the NAACP have carried on his work on behalf of all people of color, and have endeavored to keep his dream alive for future generations. We can always look to Dr. King's actions – and, especially, his words – to remind us of what we are fighting for and why we must continue to fight. If we ever get sidetracked or discouraged, we can remember Dr. King's closing remarks at the NAACP Emancipation Day Rally in 1957:
"I close by saying there is nothing greater in all the world than freedom. It's worth going to jail for. It's worth losing a job for. It's worth dying for. My friends, go out this evening determined to achieve this freedom which God wants for all of His children."

Rachel Axon and Eric Prisbell, USA TODAY Sports
North Carolina men's basketball player P.J. Hairston was charged with speeding and careless and reckless driving Sunday after being pulled over for driving 93 mph in a 65 mph zone.
Late Sunday, it was announced that PJ Hairston was suspended from the team indefinitely, according to a statement posted on GoHeels.com, by the Athletics Department on behalf of Coach Roy Williams.
Hairston, 20, was driving a 2008 Acura TL southbound on Interstate 85 outside of Webb, N.C., where he was pulled over at 4:30 p.m. by the State Highway Patrol, said spokesman 1st Sgt. Jeff Gordon.
Charges Dropped: Charges from June 5 arrest dropped
Hairston has an Aug. 30 court date in Rowan County.
The citation represents the latest off-court incident for Hairston, the Tar Heels' leading scorer last season, who in the last three months drove two rental cars linked to Durham resident Haydn "Fats" Thomas.
Thomas, 39, is a convicted felon and party promoter with ties to several area college athletes.
North Carolina coach Roy Williams said in a statement on July 15 that Hairston committed "serious mistakes" and would face "serious consequences as a result." Without specifying the misconduct, Williams called the issues "embarrassing."
After being stopped at a license checkpoint June 5, Hairston was arrested on charges of possessing marijuana and driving without a license. The charges were dismissed July 19, a Durham County court clerk said, and Hairston complied with the conditions of the court, which included completing a drug assessment and providing his current driver's license.
USA TODAY Sports first reported that the 2013 GMC Yukon that Hairston was driving at the time was rented by Thomas from June 2-5 for $1,261.64, according to the Hertz rental receipt.
USA TODAY Sports also first reported that Hairston was cited for speeding May 13 while driving a 2012 Camaro SS that was rented by Catinia Farrington, a woman who shares the same home address as Thomas. Thomas has called Farrington his significant other.
After being stopped June 5, a 9-millimeter handgun and a magazine with nine rounds of ammunition were found outside the vehicle and seized during the traffic stop. Neither Hairston nor the two other passengers in the vehicle - Miykael Faulcon, 20, and Carlos Sanford, 23, both of Durham - faced charges related to the gun.
Thomas told USA TODAY Sports on July 3 that he had no relationship with Hairston. Thomas said he is a friend of Faulcon because they frequent clubs together and because Faulcon does "odd jobs" around Thomas' Durham home.
Thomas initially said that he rented the Yukon for himself and loaned it to Faulcon to take to the store. Thomas later said that Faulcon had told him that Faulcon and Hairston had planned to visit Atlanta that weekend for social gatherings. Faulcon and Hairston are close friends, said Faulcon's mother, Trudy Ransom.
Between February and May, four Hertz rental vehicles tied to Thomas received a total of nine unpaid parking citations on North Carolina's campus. The four vehicles - a 2012 GMC Yukon, a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe, a 2013 Mercedes Benz 350 and the Camaro SS - were rented by Thomas or Farrington from the Hertz facility at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
"Other issues have been written about recently that are disturbing and bother me deeply," Williams said in his statement earlier this month. "Our basketball program is based on great ideals and these issues are embarrassing. These are not common in my 10 years as head coach at UNC and they will all be dealt with harshly and appropriately at the correct time to ensure that our program will not be compromised."
Thomas has said in multiple phone interviews that he has yet to be contacted by the NCAA or by North Carolina.
Elon University Associate Professor of Sports and Event Management Tony Weaver talked to WFMY News 2 about how college athlete's behavior can affect a program and a university. Weaver says UNC must be careful about how it reacts and responds to this situation with P.J. Hairston.
"They're establishing a protocol. I think people are paying attention to the decisions they are making and the actions that administration takes... The reaction by the administration is going to set the tone for future incidents," Weaver said.

Position Statement 14: The Federal Government's Responsibilities for Mental Health Services
Policy Position
Mental Health America (MHA) urges that the federal government continue to take a leading role, in partnership with the states, in the development of evidence-based, recovery-oriented mental health and substance abuse services throughout the United States that are comprehensive, community- and strengths-based and consumer- and family-driven. In spite of the serious budget deficit that the federal government must address, and to some extent because of it, it is essential that Congress and the executive branch embrace a robust federal role that supports the vision expressed in recent landmark federal reports, particularly Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General (1999) and Achieving the Promise: Transforming Mental Health Care in America (2003), the final report of former President George W. Bush's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health.(1)
The New Freedom Commission's report detailed the virtual collapse of the community mental health system throughout America and called for an expansion of the federal role in "transforming" the mental health system to better serve mental health consumers and affected families. The Commission's overarching recommendation -- that services and treatments for persons with behavioral disabilities must be recovery-oriented and consumer-driven -- would require a new infusion of resources to make that promise a reality. Even as the federal budget deficit threatens discretionary funding for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and grants to the states, implementation of mental health parity(2) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act(3) nonetheless require a vigorous federal response to assure effective prevention, screening, and treatment of mental health and substance use conditions.(4)
Mental Health America embraces the view articulated in 2002 by the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health that the federal government's failure to make mental health a priority is a national tragedy. That tragedy manifests itself in many ways, of which the following data are illustrative:
- Mental disorders are implicated in 90 percent of the 30 thousand suicides and 650 thousand suicide attempts in this country each year;(5)
- 80 percent of the youth entering the juvenile justice system have a mental disorder;(6)
- Untreated and mistreated mental illness costs American business, government and taxpayers an estimated $113 billion annually.(7)
Americans have a stake, individually and collectively, in making effective prevention, screening and treatment of mental health and substance use conditions more of a priority. Communities across the country have taken steps to advance that goal, working to improve individual and family well-being, mental health and substance use in schools and health systems. Too often, however, communities have embraced that goal only partially, after experiencing a wrenching tragedy such as a youth's suicide. Too often, the system failures and inadequacies that leave people without access to needed care are not perceived as critical public health issues. And too often, well-intentioned efforts fail to employ effective, state-of-the-art services and fail to provide culturally and linguistically competent services.
The impact of mental illness and addiction on individuals, families, communities, businesses, and taxpayers across the country is enormous, and poses public-health challenges beyond the capacities of individual communities. As the New Freedom Commission's report makes clear, governmental mental health and substance abuse systems and other "systems" that serve people affected by mental health and substance use conditions are badly fragmented. Focusing primarily on the needs of those with the most severe disabilities and more generally on illness, rather than on wellness, these systems have failed to keep pace with expanding needs and capacities for treatment. They have failed to serve the great majority of individuals who suffer significant but not catastrophic disorders. These failures have many causes and explanations. Among them are a lack of understanding that mental health is integral to all health;(8) the widespread ignorance, fear, and stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction; and a legacy of laws and policies that discriminate against coverage of mental health and substance use conditions.
The Rationale for a Robust Federal Role
Many considerations -ranging from social justice to economic self-interest -- make it imperative that the federal government assume a major, focused, and coordinated role in mental health and substance use disorder policy, a role both different and larger than it currently plays. Among the many factors dictating a robust federal role is the extraordinary toll -in disability, productivity, and premature death -that mental illness and substance use disorders take in this country. Time after time, the federal government, armed with scientific tools, has responded aggressively to looming risks of disease endangering its citizens. In the 1960s, the federal government founded community mental health centers to begin to make community-based mental health treatment a reality. Community-based addiction recovery centers have performed much the same role for substance abuse. Expansion of Medicare and Medicaid coverage in the last 30 years increased coverage of some community services. But those initiatives are spent, and with the advent of the Affordable Care Act, a new federal role is needed.
For nearly 200 years, states have played the major role in the provision of mental health and substance abuse services. As the New Freedom Commission's reports document so clearly, we now have a complex patchwork of services that provides vastly different types and levels of care for people in the various states. And the increasing budget pressures on states make it difficult for any state to re-tool current service structures, much less undertake leadership initiatives. Just as federal leadership was needed in the 1960's to show the way toward community-based service systems rather than the longstanding reliance on asylums and mental hospitals, federal leadership is needed today.
Advances in evidence-based treatment now make it possible to offer people with mental health and substance use conditions a vision of recovery and to offer children a pathway to thrive in school and in their communities. These visions are the origin of federal advocacy of what has come to be called "transformation." But true transformation requires more than rhetoric. We must find ways to provide support and treatment that enhance people's own strengths and resiliency, rather than encouraging disability by making health care dependant on it. We must improve people's access to a choice of treatments responsive to their needs. Ensuring a path to recovery and increased resiliency will also require provision of a broad, comprehensive range of services and supports for individuals with more severe illnesses or disabilities, ranging from supportive housing to psychosocial rehabilitation to supportive employment.
Our federal government has a rich history of ensuring its citizens equality of opportunity to achieve their potential, particularly in the face of discrimination or other societal barriers. We should not shrink from pressing the federal government to play that same critical role in fostering the recovery of those with serious mental illnesses and serious substance use disorders, as well as in promoting wellness, fostering resiliency, and minimizing and containing the risk factors associated with the development of mental health and substance use disorders.

The Durango City Council was urged to extend the smoking ban to the Animas River Trail, playgrounds and outdoor restaurant patios as necessary for the public health while skeptics worried about the consequences of government overreach.
�Let�s show we are a healthy community without having to walk through a cloud of smoke,� said Jean Walter, an activist with the San Juan Basin Health Department�s Lasso Tobacco Coalition, which made the presentation during a study session Tuesday.
A video by the Boys & Girls Club said the council needed to protect kids where they play. Thirteen-year-old Mathew Jones appealed to material interest, arguing that Durango would lose its status as a tourist draw.
Advocates also want tougher enforcement of the ban of smoking within 15 feet of a business entrance.
Tim Wheeler, owner of Durango Coffee Co. and the Gourmet Kitchen Shop, 730 Main Ave., said he lost both his parents to complications from smoking. He is frustrated by secondhand smoke seeping into his store from the outside.
�I put up signs not to smoke (around the business), but they do it anyway,� Wheeler said.
But City Councilors were worried about unintended consequences. Banning smoking from restaurant patios might force more smokers to the sidewalks, City Councilor Doug Lyon said.
Because most restaurants and bars already ban smoking on outside patios, City Councilor Paul Broderick did not understand the need to ban it altogether. He argued that public sentiment already was effective in discouraging smoking in public places like playgrounds.
�People don�t light up on the kiddy slide,� Broderick said. �If they do, they will have a lot of parents on them. I don�t think there�s a big issue of smoking in the parks.�
Broderick and Lyon wondered about the appropriateness of cracking down on tourists from Europe or Asia who are used to smoking in public places or even the smoker on the river trail who is more than 15 feet away from nearest bystander.
�Do we really want to come down on them like a ton of bricks? I�m not so sure,� Lyon said.
In response, the anti-smoking advocates argued for protecting the �silent majority,� or the 87 percent of Durango residents who say they don�t smoke, and the employees of restaurants who serve customers who smoke.
The city has estimated it would cost $37,000 to put up anti-smoking signs, but advocates argued the costs would be offset by grants.
Councilors urged the anti-smoking advocates to make more presentations to city advisory boards to see where consensus could be reached.

Fraud and other charges were lodged this week against owners of a Niagara Falls, Ont. auto and marine repair shop, Niagara Regional Police reported.
Police launched an investigation on the Ort Road business last month and found that they had been called numerous times to the repair shop dating back to January 2010 for disputes between the operators and customers who dropped off equipment.
Police said some of the customers were told if they failed to pay what were inflated amounts of money, their property would be kept and subject to sale without their permission. Investigators corroborated the allegations and charged Shawn Ott, 43, and Stephany Steinhoff, 43, on Saturday.
Ott and Steinhoff were charged with four counts of fraud under $5,000, three counts of fraud over $5,000, two counts each of unauthorized possession and careless storage of a firearm, along with one count each of careless storage of a firearm and theft over and under $5,000.
Detectives continue to investigate the business practices of the operators of this repair shop, according to police. Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities in Niagara Falls at (905) 688-4111, Ext. 2200.

Rivers, 80, is firing back at the 23-year-old actress after she criticized her E! show Fashion Police for teaching young people "the wrong values."
"There are shows like the Fashion Police that are just showing these generations of young people to judge people based on all the wrong values and that it's OK to point at people and call them ugly or fat," The Independent reported Lawrence as telling Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer while promoting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. "We have to stop treating each other like that and stop calling each other fat."
Rivers immediately took to social media to respond with cutting humor.
"WAIT! It just dawned on me why Jennifer Lawrence fell on her way up to the stage to get her Oscar," Rivers quipped on Twitter, referencing Lawrence's famed tumble after being named Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook. "She tripped over her own arrogance."
The Fashion Police host didn't stop there.
"It's funny how Jennifer Lawrence loved @E_FashionPolice during Awards Season when we were complimenting her every single week," Rivers wrote. "But now that she has a movie to promote, suddenly we're picking on all those poor, helpless actors."
