GASTONIA, NC (WBTV) - After spending almost 25 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, Willie Grimes says he doesn't hold a grudge against the people who put him there. But he wants answers.
"I would like to know why he really didn't take initiative to do his job because, I wouldn't have been in prison point blank," Grimes said Thursday afternoon from his Gastonia home.
Grimes partially blames the lead detective in the case against him for the wrongful conviction.
Chris Mumma with the North Carolina Center for Actual Innocence says the investigator didn't hand over evidence that could have freed Grimes.
Mumma was a part of the force that put Grimes' case before the NC Innocence Inquiry Commission who cleared him last Friday.
"Even when he was exonerated, it really was bitter sweet. I have bitterness for what happened, it could have been prevented," Mumma said.
Grimes is working for a utility company since his release last May. He says his faith keeps him from being angry at the people he says cost him his freedom for 25 years.

An Extended Bidomain Framework Incorporating Multiple Cell Types Biophysical Journal, Volume 99, Issue 1, 7 July 2010, Pages 13-18 Martin L. Buist and Yong Cheng Poh Abstract The muscular layers within the walls of the gastrointestinal tract contain two distinct cell types, the interstitial cells of Cajal and smooth muscle cells, which together produce rhythmic depolarizations known as slow waves. The bidomain model of tissue-level electrical activity consists of single intracellular and extracellular domains separated by an intervening membrane at all points in space and is therefore unable to adequately describe the presence of two distinct cell types in its conventional form. Here, an extension to the bidomain framework is presented whereby multiple interconnected cell types can be incorporated. Although the derivation is focused on the interactions of the interstitial cells of Cajal and smooth muscle cells, the conceptual framework can be more generally applied. Simulations demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed model are also presented. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (435 kb) |
A Biophysically Based Mathematical Model of Unitary Potential Activity in Interstitial Cells of Cajal Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 1, 1 July 2008, Pages 88-104 R.A. Faville, A.J. Pullan, K.M Sanders and N.P. Smith Abstract Unitary potential (UP) depolarizations are the basic intracellular events responsible for pacemaker activity in interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), and are generated at intracellular sites termed "pacemaker units". In this study, we present a mathematical model of the transmembrane ion flows and intracellular Ca2+ dynamics from a single ICC pacemaker unit acting at near-resting membrane potential. This model quantitatively formalizes the framework of a novel ICC pacemaking mechanism that has recently been proposed. Model simulations produce spontaneously rhythmic UP depolarizations with an amplitude of ∼3mV at a frequency of 0.05Hz. The model predicts that the main inward currents, carried by a Ca2+-inhibited nonselective cation conductance, are activated by depletion of sub-plasma-membrane [Ca2+] caused by sarcoendoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase Ca2+ sequestration. Furthermore, pacemaker activity predicted by our model persists under simulated voltage clamp and is independent of [IP3] oscillations. The model presented here provides a basis to quantitatively analyze UP depolarizations and the biophysical mechanisms underlying their production. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (631 kb) |
Pacemaking through Ca Stores Interacting as Coupled Oscillators via Membrane Depolarization Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 11, 1 June 2007, Pages 3843-3861 Mohammad S. Imtiaz, Jun Zhao, Kayoko Hosaka, Pierre-Yves von der Weid, Melissa Crowe and Dirk F. van Helden Abstract This study presents an investigation of pacemaker mechanisms underlying lymphatic vasomotion. We tested the hypothesis that active inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)-operated Ca2+ stores interact as coupled oscillators to produce near-synchronous Ca2+ release events and associated pacemaker potentials, this driving action potentials and constrictions of lymphatic smooth muscle. Application of endothelin 1 (ET-1), an agonist known to enhance synthesis of IP3, to quiescent lymphatic smooth muscle syncytia first enhanced spontaneous Ca2+ transients and/or intracellular Ca2+ waves. Larger near-synchronous Ca2+ transients then occurred leading to global synchronous Ca2+ transients associated with action potentials and resultant vasomotion. In contrast, blockade of L-type Ca2+ channels with nifedipine prevented ET-1 from inducing near-synchronous Ca2+ transients and resultant action potentials, leaving only asynchronous Ca2+ transients and local Ca2+ waves. These data were well simulated by a model of lymphatic smooth muscle with: 1), oscillatory Ca2+ release from IP3R-operated Ca2+ stores, which causes depolarization; 2), L-type Ca2+ channels; and 3), gap junctions between cells. Stimulation of the stores caused global pacemaker activity through coupled oscillator-based entrainment of the stores. Membrane potential changes and positive feedback by L-type Ca2+ channels to produce more store activity were fundamental to this process providing long-range electrochemical coupling between the Ca2+ store oscillators. We conclude that lymphatic pacemaking is mediated by coupled oscillator-based interactions between active Ca2+ stores. These are weakly coupled by inter- and intracellular diffusion of store activators and strongly coupled by membrane potential. Ca2+ store-based pacemaking is predicted for cellular systems where: 1), oscillatory Ca2+ release induces depolarization; 2), membrane depolarization provides positive feedback to induce further store Ca2+ release; and 3), cells are interconnected. These conditions are met in a surprisingly large number of cellular systems including gastrointestinal, lymphatic, urethral, and vascular tissues, and in heart pacemaker cells.

Spontaneously rhythmic pacemaker activity produced by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) is the result of the entrainment of unitary potential depolarizations generated at intracellular sites termed pacemaker units. In this study, we present a mathematical modeling framework that quantitatively represents the transmembrane ion flows and intracellular Ca2+ dynamics from a single ICC operating over the physiological membrane potential range. The mathematical model presented here extends our recently developed biophysically based pacemaker unit modeling framework by including mechanisms necessary for coordinating unitary potential events, such as a T-Type Ca2+ current, Vm-dependent K+ currents, and global Ca2+ diffusion. Model simulations produce spontaneously rhythmic slow wave depolarizations with an amplitude of 65 mV at a frequency of 17.4 cpm. Our model predicts that activity at the spatial scale of the pacemaker unit is fundamental for ICC slow wave generation, and Ca2+ influx from activation of the T-Type Ca2+ current is required for unitary potential entrainment. These results suggest that intracellular Ca2+ levels, particularly in the region local to the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, significantly influence pacing frequency and synchronization of pacemaker unit discharge. Moreover, numerical investigations show that our ICC model is capable of qualitatively replicating a wide range of experimental observations.

Massage and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, and reduce blood pressure.
Massage and bodywork is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety, and create an overall sense of well-being.
It depends on the techniques used. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes, which will help to calm you nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension.
As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting.
A trained professional who has received proper training, often in a variety of techniques, will conduct your session. Some Massage and bodywork practitioners are licensed by the state, while others are locally regulated. Although no two massages are exactly alike, you may request a certain technique or modality. You may also request your preference as to a male or female therapist.
Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, you may decide what amount of clothing you prefer to wear for your own comfort. You will be properly draped during the session.
You and the practitioner will discuss the desired outcome of your session. This will determine which parts of your body require massage. A typical full body session will include work on you back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck and shoulders. You will not be touched on or near your genitals (male or female) or breasts (female).
There are numerous types of massage and bodywork; various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement reeducation, application of pressure to specific points and more. Ask the practitioner about the methods he or she uses.
Make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting you arm). May people just close their eyes and completely relax. Others like to talk during their session. Feel free to ask the practitioner questions about massage and bodywork in general or about the particular technique you are receiving.

Disney Launches Luxe Baby Line
Filed under: Apparel
Disney has just announced the introduction of two collections of luxury children's apparel, aimed at infants and toddlers, due in department stores like Bloomingdales and Nordstrom this fall, as well as at some boutiques. The lines, Classic Disney and Walt Disney Signature, will "offer cashmere blankets, hooded robes and mittens, bibs and burp cloths, organic cotton tees, cardigans, and casual separates." While they will make use of the well-known Disney characters and artwork, their use will be subtle and understated.
The Classic Disney collection will focus on the classic films, including Bambi, Pinocchio and Lady and the Tramp, and their characters. Bambi will be the first character to launch, with baby blankets and burp clothes to be followed by the organic cotton tees and pajamas. The Walt Disney Signature collection will be "vintage-inspired, eclectic and of the finest quality," with pastel colors and cashmere, silk and linen fabrics adorned with sketchbook artwork and appliques.

Shake it, don't break it!
This week Dancing with the Stars contestant Amber Riley and partner Derek Hough receive two 10s from the judges. While performing the jive Monday night, Amber sure made it look easy, but she suffered an injury that no one knew about.
The Glee star pulled a butt muscle. Derek tells Arsenio Hall the accident happened during a rehearsal before the performance after Amber did a cartwheel.
RELATED: Derek Hough Parties With Breaking Bad
On Wednesday, the 27-year-old tweeted, "Rehearsal was so fun today, very hard and I am stupid sore but I am loving this dance. I was determined to go hard today! And I did!"
We can't wait to see her hurt the dance floor again next Monday.

Yes, Virginia, Obamacare is Raising the Cost of Your Health Insurance
First as a candidate and then as president, Barack Obama repeatedly promised his administration would "have a health care plan that would save the average family $2,500 on their premiums."
Yet since the president passed his health care law, with exclusively Democratic support in Congress, health premiums have continued to rise – and every datapoint we have indicates a significant portion of that premium increase is due to Obama's law and its impending regulations and costly mandates on what coverage must be provided.
A recent study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation illustrates the problem. The average employer health insurance premium rose by 9 percent in 2011, three times the increase of 2010, and family premiums exceeded $15,000 a year for the first time. In some states, premiums rose by even more – they have now risen by $2,213 since Obama took office according to Kaiser's numbers.
Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post's fact-checker, is having none of this. He says an ad that references the Kaiser survey is an overuse of a "single data point" to suggest premiums are increasing because of Obama's law. He writes:
"Six in 10 Americans are seeing their [health insurance] premiums rise. The average cost of a family policy is up $1,300. Another part of President Obama's health care takeover will cost $111 billion more than promised." --Voiceover in a Republican National Committee TV ad about the Obama health care law
Be wary of the single data point, exploited either by Democrats or Republicans.
This new RNC ad slams the Obama health care law for already causing a boost in health care premiums, even though much of the law has not been implemented. (The ad frames this as breaking President Obama's already dubious promise that the health care overhaul will result in average family premiums declining by $2,500.) ...
As we said, be wary of a single data point.
Now, the RNC makes the same mistake in focusing on the increase in health care premiums. The Kaiser survey does not suggest that the premium increase has much to do with the health care law; indeed, it notes that "many of the most significant provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) will take effect in 2014."
The provisions that have taken effect, such as providing coverage for adult children up to age 26, thus far appear to have had modest impact on premiums. Kaiser says it will monitor the impact on employers but it generally places the year-to-year increase as part of an overall trend of sharply rising costs. "Since 2001, average premiums for family coverage have increased 113 percent," the report notes.
Indeed, when Kaiser looked at just the increase in the portion of the premium that workers contribute, the report said that neither the amounts for families nor individuals represented "a statistically significant increase over the 2010 values."
Kessler's work, particularly in the health care space, routinely displays an obtuse naiveté for how policy applies in the real world. Last year, he assigned Four Pinocchios (his suitably ludicrous measuring standard) to the claim that Medicaid gets ripped off by rich people, because after he looked into the matter, he found rich people don't qualify for Medicaid. Yes, really. (And of course, he was wrong about that BMW thing.)
Kessler makes a number of assumptions in this piece, but let's drill down to a pretty basic one: He assumes for Republicans to claim premiums are increasing means they are assigning the entirety of those premium increases to the effects of Obama's law, when in fact the ad makes no such claim. It merely claims premiums are going up, not down, as Obama promised.
This is simply a fact, one established not by "single data point" claims but by the overwhelming evidence we have on hand. I'm unsure what Kessler even means by that repeated "single data point" line. Does he mean to suggest the Kaiser survey is inconsistent with the balance of research or reports in the field? Even the estimates from the Congressional Budget Office before the passage of the law indicated premiums would increase by a significant amount because of its requirements:
Average premiums per policy in the nongroup market in 2016 would be roughly $5,800 for single policies and $15,200 for family policies under the proposal, compared with roughly $5,500 for single policies and $13,100 for family policies under current law. The weighted average of the differences in those amounts equals the change of 10 percent to 13 percent in the average premium per person.
And this is consistent with the continued projections we're seeing from across the country. These have since been supplemented by reports at the state level about expectations of premium increases relative to what would have happened if Obamacare didn't exist, such as in Indiana , where "The estimated ACA-driven premium rate change for the Indiana individual insured market beginning in 2014 is 75% to 95%." And also Ohio , where premium rates in the individual market are expected to rise between 55% and 85% thanks to the law.
We also have the estimates of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber, who sees increases in premiums (as opposed to the decreases he anticipated just a few years ago). In Wisconsin , he anticipates a premium increases of 30 percent by 2016 in the individual markes; in Minnesota , he claims the individual market will see increases in premiums by 29 percent. And in Colorado , he expects premiums will rise by 19 percent relative to what they would've been without Obamacare.
And this isn't just about mandates on insurers – it's also about the acceleration of health care spending. When you subsidize something, you're going to get more of it. According to Health Affairs' comprehensive look at national health spending projections through 2020 , we're due to see a 10.7 percent increase in prescription drug spending in 2014, an 8.9 percent increase in physician and clinical services in 2014, and a 7.2 percent increase in hospital spending in 2014 – all higher than the spending anticipated without Obama's law. And guess who's paying for this new spending? The insurers. What do you expect to happen to premiums, exactly?
This recent AON Hewitt survey on what is driving these premium increases finds the individual market is feeling disproportionate impact from Obama's law. There's even a handy breakdown of the portion of the increase that insurance carriers believe is due to the handful of PPACA's elements which have already gone into effect. Note the range of impact on individual policies in this chart, which shows how the expenses of just the few provisions that have taken hold already. As the report notes:
[I]t is important to consider the additional factors that contribute to overall premium increases – including changes in the covered population, deductible leveraging, and benefit changes driven by PPACA. These items are usually smaller than core trend, but can still have a significant impact on premium increases. On average, reported impacts for covered population changes and deductible leveraging show that these items increased estimated 2010 health care costs by an additional 1.8% to 5.2% over core health care trend, depending on line of business. Many PPACA impacts will first be largely reflected in 2011, with average projected impacts by line of business ranging from 0.8% to 4.7%.
Now, this is just the word of insurance carriers themselves - but what do they know about costs versus a well-trained fact checker? And of course, how much of these increases on an individual policy level are due solely to Obamacare is a matter of debate. But as I pointed out at the beginning: the ad Kessler's attacking didn't claim prices were increasing solely due to Obamacare. And there is no debate about these simple facts: that every measure and datapoint we have indicates Obamacare is making premiums more expensive, not less; that they are exceeding expectations in terms of cost increases, not slowing their rate of growth relative to estimates; and that the impending mandates and regulations will continue to increase those premiums and do nothing to stop their rise. That will be up to price controls and bureaucratic regulators to do, after all.
One last point: Kessler needs to update his fact sheet on the operability of Obama's claims. He writes:
We offer no defense of Obama's claim that his health care law will reduce premiums by $2,500. (There was an asterisk to that claim – he was talking about what premiums would have been in 2016 absent the law, not an actual dollar decline from current rates.) He will have to answer to Americans if his law fails to live up to that pledge, or if people feel misled by his careful wording.
Kessler needs to re-check that asterisk he's imagining. The White House long ago backed off that $2,500 savings figure (at one point it was actually $3,000) and extended the timeline for its applicability from 2016 to 2019. Deputy Chief of Staff Nancy DeParle, one of the president's leading health care policy advisors, told ABC News last year that families won't see those savings for another eight years, until 2019 – well after Obama's second term would conclude. She also scaled the figure back to "around $2,000" in savings.
In other words, it would be well after the point where Obama would "have to answer to Americans" as Kessler claims. And that's a fact.

We get health insurance through my husband's employer, and his payroll deduction increased by $80/month. That's only 30% of the increase; his employer covers the rest, so we're at a $3,200/yr increase on our family plan, by my math.

Yes, it's worth noting that Obama's "down by $2,500 by the end of my first term" promise was made when premiums were on average $2,200 cheaper.
That means he's got a $4,700 hole to recover to make that happen, by January!

Has anyone done a study showing the total cost of Obama's policies to the average American family? That is, when adding the increases in insurance premiums, clothing, groceries, and of course gasoline prices, how much more does a typical household pay?

I just had a visit from the broker for medical insurance for our company. He says that I can expect an approximate 20% rise in premiums on my next renewal. How's that for anecdotal evidence of the monstrous effect of this stupid law?

Well, this isn't about saving money. Just like the stimulus "saving jobs" instead of creating them, what we must realize is that in 2019 without ObamaCare, insurance premiums would have been up $12,000 a year, and instead, thanks to Barack, they will only increase by $10,000.
And they can prove it with model simulations, just like the jobs.

Established in 1807, the University of Maryland School of Medicine is the fifth oldest-and first public-medical school in the United States. It is also the first to build its own teaching hospital and the first to institute a residency-training program. The School of Medicine is the founding school of the University of Maryland, and today it is an integral part of the 13-campus University System of Maryland. On the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus, the School of Medicine serves as the foundation for a large academic health center that combines medical education, biomedical research, patient care and community service. While its traditional excellence remains constant, the School of Medicine and its national reputation continue to grow.
The School of Medicine boasts the oldest building in the Western hemisphere in continuous use for medical education, the meticulously restored Davidge Hall, built in 1812. Two major classroom and laboratory buildings, the fourteen-floor Bressler Research Building and the nine-floor Medical School Teaching Facility, were completed in the mid-1970s. The mid-rise Biomedical Research Facility was completed in late 1992. Health Sciences Facility I (HSFI), an interdisciplinary research and teaching facility, was completed in 1995. HSFI provides clinical and basic science departments and animal care facilities with approximately 80,000 additional net square feet. HSFI also provides a much-needed connection from the Medical School Teaching Facility to Howard Hall and the Bressler Research Building. Health Sciences Facility II (HSFII), a 101,000 square foot state-of-the-art biomedical research facility, opened in 2003. This six-story research building houses laboratories, research offices and conference rooms. All but one major medical school research building is physically linked to the University of Maryland Medical Center and the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
The University of Maryland campus in Baltimore continues to expand as well. The 137-bed Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center, immediately adjacent and connected by bridge to the University of Maryland Medical Center, joined the campus in 1993. Gudelsky Tower, the high-tech University Hospital patient tower, opened in 1994 and was followed in 1995 by complete restructuring and enhancement of the two-block hospital facade and main lobby. In 2002 the medical center opened the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Building. The spacious 380,000 square foot building includes the new surgical facility, with 19 state-of-the-art operating rooms, called the "OR of the Future"; adult and pediatric emergency departments; an expanded diagnostic imaging department; a cafeteria and food court; a chapel; a patient resource center to access health information and community resources; and an employee learning center.
Completed in late 1995, the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute's Medical Biotechnology Center occupies a 196,000 square foot facility. The center focuses on medical biotechnology research and training and serves as a catalyst for economic development in health related aspects of molecular biology and medical biotechnology at the basic, applied and clinical levels. The Health and Human Services Library opened in 1998; it provides cutting-edge service and amenities to its users and also serves as a Regional Medical Library of the National Library of Medicine.

Investors' Guide to Farmland Authored by Greyson S. Colvin, T. Marc Schober
Everyone has to eat to survive. The production of almost all food can be traced back to farmland in some way. Demand is growing for farmland as the world's population and global needs for food are rising. The supply of farmland is not changing, thus creating ...More
a severe imbalance in the supply of farmable land and demand for food. The world's population is expected to grow from 7 billion to over 9 billion by 2050. Over the same time period, food production must double. Global grain supplies are already at record low levels. If the US stopped producing corn, it would run out in less than 30 days and set off a domino effect that would bring the world to its knees.
How can one capitalize on the increased global protein consumption and demand for food? An investment in farmland will provide a steady stream of income and capital gains due to the increasing global demand for agricultural commodities and limited supply of global arable land. The Investors' Guide to Farmland will guide you though the rational for investment in farmland, understanding the characteristic of farmland, and why it should become part of your portfolio.

We've all heard the statement at work, at family gatherings, among friends, at parties: He's a cyclist. It's the same sort of explanation that you'd give if you showed up to a Super Bowl party with E.T. You'd introduce him around and then say, He's from another planet.
For a lot of folks, that little explanation is actually an apology. In three short words they've told everyone gathered, He's a little weird. He won't eat your pie. Don't expect him to touch the mashed potatoes. Your beer is safe. He spends more time on a torture device than I do in my car.
Your mere presence has upset the equilibrium of the room and the explanation is an effort to keep things on an even keel.
And while your dedication to something that doesn't make you pantloads of money may arouse the sort of suspicion usually reserved for felons, what non-cyclists miss are the dividends that cycling pays. Sure, they can guess that you've got a rigorous diet if you're lean, but that's the least relevant of the lessons cycling teaches us.
Hanging onto a pack screaming down a country road at 28 mph will teach you unquantifiable lessons about endurance. Each time you dig deep to close a gap, move to the front or maybe even attack the leaders, you make a big statement about reserves, not just that you have them, but that you have faith you're not at the end of your rope.
Outsiders only see fatigue, expense and deprivation when they look at cycling. We know otherwise. When you or I look at a bike, what we see is fun waiting to happen, maybe the key to a greater performance. When we see an open road, the exhilaration centers in our brains fire. When we see a hill we imagine deep suffering followed by childlike fun. The world thinks we eat like refugees, but we know that 5000 calories burned means a mammoth dinner with no guilt. Fatigue? As if. Cycling renews us, gives us strength to tackle the rest of life.
Outsiders don't see how those lessons can inform other parts of our lives. A baby that cries for 20 minutes is much easier to deal with than a climb that lasts for an hour. Examining posturing by coworkers in a meeting is much easier to do if you've had to size up the competition when your legs burn so bad you want to sit up and stop pedaling. A bad day or even a bad week can be endured when you've dealt with months of bad form.
The point is less that we can do these things because we are cyclists than because we are cyclists we can bring more to these other parts of our lives; thanks to the lessons we've learned from cycling, we're more complete. After all, if we needed to drop one part of our lives, as much as it would hurt, cycling would go long before we'd give up our careers or our families.
So while we recognize one another as fellow cyclists, and therefore friends, we understand a greater truth. Cycling helps to define each of our lives, enriching our days and giving us an outlet of expression that makes the mundane easier to endure and the high points that much more joyful. But it isn't the whole of our identities is it? When in the peloton we identify each other not as cyclists—that denominator that unites us—but as doctor, lawyer or father of five girls. After all, your identity is written by those to whom you matter most.

04/26/2011 - The funding gaps at some state pension plans widened in fiscal 2010, though strong investment returns prevented the situation from deteriorating even more, according to a new study by the Pew Center on the States.On average, state pension plans had 75% of the assets needed to cover the long-term benefits owed to government workers, based on fiscal-2010 data from 16 states obtained by Pew. That was down from 77% in those states in fiscal 2009.Read the article State Pension Plans Lose Ground on the Wall Street Journal Web site.

MORGANTOWN - As a general rule, offensive line play is a lot like officiating. If you don't notice the guys doing the job, well, it's probably because they were doing it pretty well.
Really now, who notices a game official unless he blows a call? And who notices an offensive lineman unless he misses a block?
Well, West Virginia's offense rolled up 331 yards rushing last Saturday against Marshall and most of the acclaim went to bruising tailback Shawne Alston, who was named the team's offensive champion.
Geno Smith set up to throw the ball about 40 times (he threw it 36 and ran a handful of times when no one was open) and was never sacked. That earned him Big 12 and national (Walter Camp) player of the week honors.
The Mountaineers scored 69 points, amassed 655 yards of total offense and scored nine offensive touchdowns, a performance that moved them into the Top 10 of both major polls.
And the offensive line? Well, save for a few kudos for obviously not messing up, there wasn't much notice given. And that's just fine with line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, because one game does not a season make.
"I told them that no matter how good or how bad they played, it was a starting point,'' Bedenbaugh said. "We got to play against somebody else and if we improve from this point then we have a chance to be pretty good. But it's just a start and they're not satisfied, which is the thing I like most."
Boy, though, it was a pretty good start.
What amounts to pretty much the same offensive line that struggled at times a year ago - center Joe Madsen, guard Jeff Braun and tackles Pat Eger and Quinton Spain all were starters or key players last season and guard Josh Jenkins is back from a year off for knee surgery - wasn't flawless against Marshall, but it's hard to tell without dissecting the game tape.
In addition to the rushing yardage - in the last three years, WVU has run for more yards only once, the 360 against Bowling Green last season - the complete absence of sacks and the virtual absence of even quarterback hurries, the line also committed just one minor infraction (a procedure call against Eger), no holding calls and even allowed Smith to run 28 yards untouched for a score on a busted play.
"Geno got hit one time and the guys were pissed about it, which they should be," Bedenbaugh said. "There's an expectation and a pride that goes along with protecting the quarterback."

Welcome to Team Ella Bella's Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Walk to Cure Diabetes Team Page! This year's San Diego Walk To Cure Diabetes is November 9th at Balboa Park!
Our 8 year old daughter Ella was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in July 2012. It came as quite a shock and while it is a difficult and life threatening disease we will continue to learn how we can help her live a long and healthy life with T1D. Unfortunately T1D is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and it is increasing in incidence! The reason for this is unknown but it is likely because of the environment.
Did you know that:
If you ask people with T1D, they will tell you it is difficult, it can cause multiple complications, it is life threatening, and that it never goes away....until we find a cure!
We are taking steps to help JDRF achieve its goal of improving the lives of all people affected by T1D by accelerating progress on the most promising opportunities for curing, better treating, and preventing T1D. By joining our Walk Team and making a donation, you will be helping us to raise funds to directly support research with the greatest potential to conquer this disease.
We are motivated by the courage and perseverance of those facing the everyday challenges of type 1 diabetes, especially our Ella Bella - she is the reason we challenge ourselves to give more, to do more, to achieve more. We are challenging ourselves to make a real difference in her life and the lives of everyone with T1D.
Will you accept the challenge to make a difference by walking with us? All we need you to do is click on the "Join this Team" button, make a donation, and begin fundraising. It's simple, fast, and fun!
From the bottom of our hearts thank you for your support, and we will see you on Walk day!

Dr. Seibert has over 15 years teaching experience in Christian education. She has grown up desiring to be a teacher, and she desires to instill in her students a love for learning. Her main goal in teaching grammar is to show how English follows a logical pattern. God's Word states that "knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth" (Proverbs 14:6). Gaining knowledge is hard when a student does not understand what he is trying to learn. Therefore, understanding is the key to gaining knowledge. In teaching literature, Dr. Seibert desires to show the beauty of the English language in written form. The literary concepts of metaphors, allusions, symbols, etc., increase not only the enjoyment of a written work but also the impact of the message.

I had been working on desktop apps and server side(non web) for some time and now I am diving in to web first time. I plan to write a scalable enterprise level app. I have worked with Java, Javascript, Jquery etc. but I dont really love jsp that much. So is there any framework that focuses on developing enterprise level web apps without jsp.
I liked Wicket's approach, but I think there is a little lack of support of dynamic html in it and jquery(yes i looked at wiquery). Also I feel making wicket apps scalable would take some sweat.
Can Spring MVC, Struts2 etc. help me make with this with just using say Java, JavaScript, and JQuery. Or are there any other options for me like Wicket.
Please do forgive if anything above looks insane, I am still working on my understanding with enterprise web apps.
NOTE: If you think that I should take a different direction or approach, please do suggest!

Hi everyone! Since it's so chilly here in the Northeast these days, I thought I'd post an excerpt from one of my first novels, the contemporary romance Lost in Paradise. Eddie West is one of my favorite heroes EVER. He's a rough-around-the-edges auto mechanic with a heart of gold, who's a small-town ladies' man until he meets his match in Boston-bred politician's daughter Ashton Kirk...here's the first time they meet:
Ash opened the door, and Eddie stood on the other side, smiling.
A breeze kicked through the living room, one of those warm summer gusts that sweeps in from nowhere. It lifted the hair off her neck and blew a puff of dust across the doorstep. For an instant, the room seemed to widen, to swell with warmth, and sun flooded the space.
Wow. Maybe Jen is right. Maybe he is perfect . Eddie wasn't tall, but the faded green t-shirt he'd put on outlined every muscle she could see. Sweat lined the creases in his forehead, and brilliant blue eyes met hers. Their color startled her, so bright they made the summer sky seem shady and dull. The more she examined them and tried in vain to match them to a Crayola color that had never existed, the more she felt a strange tumbling in her stomach that she didn't like at all.
God, what's wrong with me? He's just a guy. Pull it together, Ash.
Taking a deep breath, she shifted her gaze to the doorjamb above him. Hi, Eddie. Come on in.
Want to read more? Here's the back blurb, or follow this link to find out more.
When high-society Harvard grad Ashton Kirk moves to the sleepy town of Paradise to escape a family scandal, Eddie West, the towns most eligible bachelor, takes notice. In one steamy summer, two people from different worlds discover that, sometimes, you can find your soul mate in the place you least expect.
This story is available in ebook, print, AND audio book (you can listen to another excerpt, here).
Have a wonderful day, readers!

Now I have only built one of the two beds (the top one with the rails) because our youngest to be wont arrive until december but we wanted to get my son out of his crib before the baby was born and eventually we will need the bunks. This bed is exactly what I expected and I am very pleased with it. I'm practical and a very picky, research minded shopper and always want to make sure I get what I paid for. I was a little reluctant buying this sight unseen but with the reviews from others I decided to go for it and am glad I did, so in return I wanted to post a straightforward review so others just like me will know what they are getting......it's a great bed for the price. Don't fool yourself and think you are getting a solid oak, top of the line, hand-crafted bunk bed that will last hundreds of years and be passed down from generation to generation. It is a sturdy, nicely built, smoothly finished pine frame held together with inch long dowels and allen bolts/screws and wood slots for the mattress support (the color in the pictures is also very accurate). A very practical solution for those needing bunk beds for young children. I think if you are getting this for kids in their teens or adults it may not be the way to go, but I guess most bunk beds probably aren't practical for adults anyway. Not to say it won't hold an adult because I lay in bed with my son (on the bottom of course, remember I havent stacked them yet) and read to him every night before he goes to bed (Im 6'4, 200lbs) but I think over time it may wear on the frame if 200 lbs are sleeping on this 8 hours a night and constanly getting in and out of it. Not to mention I think the clearance once the top bunk is in place may be a head knocker for a bigger person. I believe the manufacturer lists weight restrictions too, so check those out. Also, too thick of a mattress could leave the bed rails obselete on the top bed. We have whats probably a pretty typical 12" thick mattress (with slight pillow top) and I was worried it may not leave enough rail where my son could roll over it. It probably leaves 4" of rail above the mattress, which has been plenty to keep him from rolling off, but if you've got a real mover and a shaker beware of over doing the thickness of your matress. I will probably leave this mattress for the bottom bunk and go with a thinner mattress once this bed is stacked on top to get more railing exposed. Also, if you plan on seperating the beds and are still wanting to use the railings like I am currently doing, be aware that the partial railing on one side requires the ladder to hold the end in place (you can tell if you look at the pic close enough). I fixed this by making my own 18" piece and drilling my own holes to match the pre-drilled holes in the ladder rail (although this may be a warranty void or something). This gives the end of the partial rail side the support it needs (while still leaving an opening for my son to get out of bed) until I stack the beds and put on the ladder. Finally, the instructions aren't that great either, like others have mentioned, but there aren't too many pieces to put together anyway. I pretty much put one bed together in a half an hour once I got all my parts laid out. And unless you are not handy at all, you could probably figure it out without the instructions anyway. (One tip: Make sure you have the "barely visible" guide holes in the middle of the side safety rails facing out for the vertical supports to be screwed into, thats the one thing I missed and had to re-do). [...] Sorry I am so long winded, just wanted to help out as much as possible. Bottom line........if you need a bunkbed, its a great bed for children for the price.

Comments about Woodcrest Ethan Full over Full Bunk Bed:
My kids love the bunk beds. They sleep through the night in the bunks. Before they didn't. The bunks are extremely solid and sturdy. There is enough room on the bottom bunk. You dont feel claustrophobic.

Comments about Woodcrest Ethan Full over Full Bunk Bed:
Easy to put together, all screws and bolts lined up nicely. It took about 4 hours to assemble. Great price but the only downfall was there were wood knots right where you tighten up the screws. Not good at all. Be sure NOT too tighten too much, just snug or else the wood will crack. Luckily my husband was able to glue and place a tie wrap where it would not be seen. Other wise we would have had to dismantle and return the entire set. This set is only being used as a grandparent set for when the grandchildren visit. For the price it's a good deal.

Comments about Woodcrest Ethan Full over Full Bunk Bed:
We bought this for our sons when they were 10 and 6, and now they are 12 and 8 and it suits them perfectly. I built the beds completely on my own (except for the lifting of the top bed onto the bottom bed) and I would guess it took me about three hours from unpacking to putting on sheets. It's held up with no issues whatsoever. So glad we made this purchase. We also bought the dresser and we're adding a second dresser at the moment. The finish is smooth, bright, and shiny (easy to clean) and very open -- the room does not look like it has a huge bed in it. We chose the free mattresses, but have recently replaced the top mattress and then we've just doubled up the two free ones for the bottom mattress - then when the boys have sleepovers we just remove one and throw it on the floor!

Love it!! I always add extra garlic!

the 40 minute time is a bit optimistic, it assumes you have a pot of water boiled already for the pasta the chicken is already cooked. I wish recipes would assume I am starting from uncooked stuff, so the times are more realistic. It's a very good dish, even with regular parmesan cheese and reheats very well for leftovers.
