Lynch syndrome runs in families in an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. This means that if one parent carries a gene mutation for Lynch syndrome, there's a 50 percent chance that mutation will be passed on to each child. The risk of Lynch syndrome is the same whether the gene mutation carrier is the mother or father or the child is a son or daughter.
The genes inherited in Lynch syndrome are normally responsible for correcting mistakes in the genetic code, which is made of DNA. DNA is the genetic material that contains instructions for every chemical process in your body. As your cells grow and divide, they make copies of their DNA and it's not uncommon for some minor mistakes to occur. Normal cells have mechanisms to recognize mistakes and repair them. But people who inherit one of the abnormal genes associated with Lynch syndrome lack the ability to repair these minor mistakes. An accumulation of these mistakes leads to increasing genetic damage within cells and eventually can lead to the cells becoming cancerous.

Things to Do
- Uncoiling a new rope: Hold it like it is a spool of rope and have a partner pull the rope from the spool stacking it in a random pile.
- Coiling: Use a "backpack" or "butterfly" coil to avoid twists. To do so, stack the rope in the palm of your hand or behind your neck. Rather than looping it over your neck, go back and forth, putting a bight of rope on the one side, then the next. Cinch the rope in the standard way.
- Twisted rope: Let it hang free and encourage the twist to unwind with your hand.
- Rope bag: Between outings, store your rope in a rope bag to protect it.
- Rope tarp: On climbing days, use a rope tarp to keep the rope clean while out in the field.
- Logbook: Record all rope use in a logbook, especially your falls.
Things to Avoid
- Nylon on nylon: This contact burns rope and webbing. You should especially avoid running two ropes through the same top-rope carabiners, and never run a top rope directly through slings.
- Dirt: Use a rope tarp to minimize contact with dirt. Dirt works into the fibers and the sharp crystals can cut rope fibers, weakening the rope.
- Stepping on the rope: This works the dirt into the rope.
- Crampons and ice axes: Avoid direct hits with crampon spikes and ice axe picks.
- UV rays (sun): Sunshine from day-to-day climbing is not likely to damage your rope. Too much sun, however, such as leaving the rope out for days on end for a fixed line or webbing at a belay station, can considerably weaken your rope. If your rope or webbing is becoming faded from the sun, consider replacing it.
- Battery acid: Strong acids such as battery acid are extremely hazardous to your rope. Avoid them at all costs. (And it happens: Once after a great day of climbing with a friend at City of Rocks, I threw my rope into the trunk of his car. Once back at camp, I leaned into the trunk to retrieve my rope and noticed, beside it, a grocery bag covered in tiny holes that look like they had been eaten into the bag. My partner calmly exclaimed to me that it contained his spare car battery. Me, I freaked out!)
- Poor rappelling and belaying: Fast or jerky rappelling, lowering and belaying can cause rope damage due to burning the sheath, as well as loss of control.
- Marking the middle—not: UIAA tests of a few years ago showed that marking ropes with liquids such as those in felt-tipped pens can damage the rope; this even includes those markers sold specifically for marking ropes. Therefore, the UIAA Safety Commission warns against marking a rope with any substance, unless it has been approved specifically by the manufacturer of that rope. A bicolor rope where the pattern of the woven sheath changes halfway is another way to identify the middle of the rope.
Rope Cleaning and Replacing
- Inspect: Inspect your rope often. You should be looking and feeling every inch of it for cuts, nicks and abrasions in the sheath, and for sections of mushy or flat core.
- Washing and drying: Wash ropes by hand in your bathtub or top-loading machine using warm water and mild soap. Place the rope in a mesh bag to reduce kinks. Hang to dry, uncoiled, away from direct sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from chemicals. Use a rope bag, hang it from a sling girth hitched around whole rope or hook the whole rope over a dowel.
- Replacing: Ropes must be replaced when damaged or old. General guidelines:
- Heavy sport climbing use with repeated falls: 3-6 months
- Heavy trad climbing use with few falls: 1-2 years
- Weekends: 2-3 years
- Occasional use: 4-5 years
- Huge falls or other damage: immediately!
Remember: Climbing safety is your responsibility. Expert instruction is absolutely essential if you're new to climbing.

March 9, 2014
The horse racing industry is dismissing an anti-gambling group's allegations that the industry wants to stop live horse racing during a hearing on horse racing bills.
The Legislature's General Affairs Committee heard several bills on Monday that the horse racing industry says would help local horse racing facilities bring in more money.
Horsemen's Benevolent & Protective Association executive director Lynne Schuller says the horsemen want nothing more than to hold more live races, but they can't afford it.
Omaha Sen. Scott Lautenbaugh has proposed a bill and a constitutional amendment that would allow state race tracks to install machines that allow betting on old horse races. The races are displayed on machines that look like video lottery terminals.
Last year, Gov. Dave Heineman vetoed a similar proposal.

Audi roadside app puts help at your fingertips
Audi released its Roadside Assistance app, which lets car owners send requests to Audi's 24-7 vehicle assistance electronic service.
The new app is available for iPhone, Android, and some BlackBerry smartphones, and should speed service requests when drivers need it the most. The app saves time by automatically sending the stored vehicle identification number and personal contact data, and also passes along the phone's GPS location to the assistance operator. Although the application doesn't appear to send any diagnostic data, drivers can submit a request for help with general services, such as a lock-out or a flat … Read more

REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.), a national retailer providing quality outdoor gear and clothing, today announced plans to open a new store in Indianapolis, Ind. at the Plaza at Castleton next spring.
The one-story, approximately 23,800 square-foot store will offer products from the top brands of outdoor gear and apparel for camping, climbing, cycling, fitness, hiking, paddling, snow sports and travel. REI Indianapolis will house a bike shop for quick assemblies and repairs, and a seasonal gear rental department for customers looking to test new activities. The store's community space will allow REI and its local partners to host classes, presentations and events to educate customers and members on a variety of outdoor topics.
While anyone may shop at REI, the company operates as a consumer cooperative. Members pay a one-time $20 fee to receive a share in the company's profits through an annual member refund based on their purchases. Earlier this year, $94.3 million in annual refunds was distributed to more than 4.4 million active members based on the co-op's 2010 sales. REI members also receive a discount on gear rentals and REI Adventures trips, and free shipping for purchases of $75 or more on REI.com.
"We look forward to inspiring, educating and outfitting Indianapolis outdoor enthusiasts for their adventures beginning next spring," said Michelle Yancy, REI retail director for the Midwest district. "By partnering with the local community, the new store will help advance REI's commitment to increase participation in outdoor activities and volunteerism in maintaining natural spaces."
In the communities where REI has a presence, the company helps restore and maintain local trails, parks and waterways through partnerships with nonprofit organizations, volunteer opportunities and grant support. In 2010, the company granted $3.7 million to more than 320 nonprofits through its locally driven grants program. The new store will expand these efforts into Indianapolis.
REI Indianapolis will be the first REI store in Indiana. The company currently operates 117 retail stores in 28 states and two online stores – rei.com and REI-OUTLET.com – and offers its own line of award-winning REI brand and Novara bike products.
For the new store, REI will recruit approximately 50 employees who share a passion for the outdoors and a commitment to quality customer service. Employment information will be available at rei.jobs approximately three months prior to the opening. REI has been recognized by FORTUNE magazine as one of "100 Best Companies to Work for in America" for 14 consecutive years.
About REI
REI is a national outdoor retail co-op dedicated to inspiring, educating and outfitting its members and the community for a lifetime of outdoor adventure and stewardship. Founded in 1938 by a group of Pacific Northwest mountaineers seeking quality equipment, REI is committed to promoting environmental stewardship and increasing access to outdoor recreation through volunteerism, gear donations and financial contributions.

Good location by metro and French embassy. Had towels and shower gel, if you have to share a room, there are no lockers. TV in room is nice. Cleanish, but slightly shabby looking. I would stay here again though just because of location by embassy. If you're in Madrid, it's really just a place to sleep anyway.

Triple Threat: A Night Out in the Inner Richmond
If you want to have a successful night out in this town, you need a plan—and it better be a good one. Since it's not always easy to strike that perfect balance between pre-dinner drink, food and a show, we bring you the Triple Threat series — a block-by-block guide to nights out that only require one parking space. Today: a fun crawl through Laurel Heights.
See: Two of our picks in this week's Indie Theater Roundup play at the Bridge Theater this weekend. There's 50/50, a dark comedy starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Drive a dark action thriller love story wherein Ryan Gosling is the movie's good guy/stunt double protagonist. If you didn't catch that, they are both "dark" (in a good way) and a drink will probably be in order afterwards.
Drink: Just across the street is the friendly Pig & Whistle, an English pub that makes a fine setting to hash out the movie's deeper meaning over a pint. There are 14 European and Californian beers on tap to get the conversation flowing, and then when that gets old, a dartboard and a jukebox. It's also one of the few places in SF where you can get true British-style pub grub, like French fries doused in spicy Indian curry. Don't overlook the British-size 20 oz. Guinness pours either. If you want to go early, happy hour runs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekends, and all draft beers are $3.
Eat: If you successfully dodge the curry fries above, hit up Red Wings for a hearty snack. Here, the kitchen has the right touch for Korean fried chicken. Debates rage over which flavor is the best. (There are five different variations on the theme.) We've fallen for the cajun "K-jun" wings on several occassions. There are also healthier grilled items on the menu, but we can't vouch for them yet due to the consistent pull of the nicely done sweet potato chips, "cheese corn," and yes, wings. Be warned the place can fill with USF students at random hours.
Got another great night out to suggest? Write us a note or tell us about it in the comments.

The nittany lion statue, a State College landmark. (courtesy psu.edu / July 13, 2012) |
As this very article is being written, Pennsylvania State University is dealing with the fallout of a historic, tragic scandal of unprecedented proportions. The revelation that former football coach Jerry Sandusky might have been molesting children for years without intervention, and more recently his conviction of said crimes in court, shocked the nation to its core so deeply that the incident may forever be a chain around the university's neck.
Penn State, of course, anticipated this; in April, they hired two public relations firms for $2.5 million to handle communications on the scandal and the aftermath of the court case. Even with hired help, however, the university has quite the hill to climb to win back the people's respect, and could easily slip backwards into another PR pitfall if they aren't careful.
With that in mind, let us examine three other PR crises that have taken place in the last year or so for a reference on what (and what not) to do to manage such a catastrophe. So here they are: the good, the bad and the ugly of public relations, and how the struggling Penn State can learn from them.
THE GOOD: Red Cross
The relatively recent integration of social media into marketing is great for businesses overall, but it does have its drawbacks. One such drawback, for example, would be a scenario in which content meant for the "casual and friendly fun" side of social media crosses over into the "business" side, the Internet equivalent of "having the wrong number." This was a reality Red Cross faced head-on in early 2011, when someone at the volunteer-led organization accidentally posted a message intended for their private account to the organization's official Twitter account, where it went untouched for nearly an hour. Well, that's hardly a big deal, right? What personal message could ever have the possible effect of tarnishing the reputation of such a humanitarian organiza-…
"Ryan found two more 4 bottle packs of Dogfish Head's Midas touch beer…. when we drink we do it right #gettngslizzerd."
Nonetheless, the clean-up to the incident was simple and effective. When the Red Cross' social media director got wind of what was going on, she not only deleted the crude tweet and apologized for it, but also sent out a humorous follow-up tweet: "We've deleted the rogue tweet but rest assured the Red Cross is sober and we've confiscated the keys."
Here's where it gets truly great, though: Dogfish Head, the brand of beer mentioned in the rogue tweet, started promoting donations to the Red Cross and asking their followers to tweet the hashtag #gettingslizzerd. It was a show of quick thinking and good-natured playfulness from everyone involved, and miraculously managed to result in greater public interest in each organization.
LESSON LEARNED: Obviously, something as minor as a Twitter slip-up can't compare to the utter PR nightmare that Penn State is going through. And unless you can think of a way to make light of child molestation (hint: DON'T) then the Red Cross' comedic approach to handling their business faux pas cannot be applied.
Still, there are elements to the Red Cross blunder and its solution that can apply well to almost any PR crisis. Their response to the situation was quick, apologetic and acknowledged the problem at hand. Dogfish Head's involvement also proves that good PR doesn't have to come from within the organization itself. Penn State should be leaning on its remaining supporters for all they've got, encouraging them to spread the word that the university still has legs to stand on.
What the handling of the Red Cross best illustrates, though, is the value in being human. Your shortcomings will stand out all the greater if your response to them is to behave like a faceless, soulless conglomerate; face your PR obstacles naturally and with a level head, and you can potentially earn not just the people's forgiveness, but their respect as well.
THE BAD: Netflix / Qwikster
You may know Netflix as the premier provider of Internet streaming media (namely, movies). But did you know that Netflix alone accounted for nearly 32.7% of peak U.S. bandwidth usage and had over 26 million worldwide users in late 2011? Those are impressive figures, but they get even more impressive when you learn exactly was going on in their PR department during that time.
In mid-summer of that year, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings announced plans to divide the existing pay model – which covered both streaming services and mail-order DVDs – into two separate services, resulting into a higher price point for those who wanted to keep both options. This understandably upset a large fraction of Netflix's subscribers, but the Hasting's "fix" for the situation only converted that anger into confusion: a month later, he announced he would split the entire company in two, creating a new business named Qwikster specifically for DVDs. Not only would the much-protested price hike remain, but now you would have to sign up for an entirely new account to keep the same service! Investors and consumers alike were befuddled by these changes, and the lack of clear and calming PR gave the impression that the company didn't or couldn't care for their needs any longer.
But ultimately, Netflix listened, and ended up buckling down to vehemently strong consumer criticism (and a heavy loss to the subscriber base) and scrapped the entire plan. They remain strong, but their image (and their stock) has never been quite the same as before the fiasco.
LESSON LEARNED: Communication is key. That's all you really need to know from this. Netflix might have been able to get away with their unpopular changes – which they certainly had reasons for implementing – if they had more effectively conveyed to consumers why they had to be made. Instead, they rapidly introduced two game-changing plans, one right after the other, without any more explanation than the simple basics, and purposefully skirting around the various ways the plans would screw over the common consumer. Their failure to communicate took what was already a controversial scheme and rendered it almost unworkable.
So, Penn State, are you still taking notes? You must open a dialogue with the people; you cannot shut them out, even when they are antagonizing you and opposing your positions and goals. In fact, those are the kind of people you want to talk to the most, because there's a chance that a good explanation for your actions could make them change their mind. In short, public relations should be like a porous membrane – letting in the criticism and releasing out reasoned response – rather than a brick wall.
And when all else fails – as it did in the Netflix scenario – sometimes all you have to do to save face is compromise. Admit to your mistakes and promise to make a fresh start. Surely Penn State have done this (it's hard not to apologize for what happened under their management), but it is a sentiment worth repeating frequently and with sincerity.
THE UGLY: Ocean Marketing
The tale of Ocean Marketing will likely go down as one of history's most baffling PR blunders. And what is most remarkable about it is that it began merely as an isolated exchange between two individuals, only to snowball into a skirmish engulfing the entire Internet.
It began with Dave, a customer of the Avenger Controller, a modified video gaming controller designed for disabled gamers in mind. In December of 2011, he sent an email to Ocean Marketing, which handled the marketing of the Avenger, to determine when his purchase would ship. He was met with the blunt and unhelpful response of one Paul Christoforo, the product's PR lead, resulting in a back-and-forth of emails driving Dave to frustration.
The exact nature of Christoforo's responses at that point has to be seen to be believed, but to make a long story short: what started as a simple question aimed at a supposedly qualified marketing representative was eventually met with a barrage of childish insults, insane delusions, and an anomalous number of run-on sentences. And the whole ordeal might have ended on that sour note, if Dave hadn't sent the contents of the entire conversation to a certain someone: Mike Krahulik, artist for the popular web-comic Penny Arcade and co-founder of the Child's Play charity. Before long, Krahulik had spread the word regarding Paul Christoforo's…err, "abrasive" approach to public relations, and the net was soon ablaze with rage aimed squarely at Ocean Marketing.
Fortunately, N-Control, the company that produces the Avenger, was only barely scorched by the flames. People seemed more than capable of mentally separating one man's antics from the product that he was supposed to be publicizing. Nonetheless, David Kotkin, the inventor of the Avenger Controller, drop-kicked Ocean Marketing to the curb, donated $10,000 to Child's Play and announced that all pre-orders for the item would be given a $10 discount. Christoforo's replacement, Moisés Chiullan denounced his predecessor, stating "there isn't a bus big enough for me to throw Paul Christoforo under." Ouch.
LESSON LEARNED: Well, for starters, there's the important lesson that all it takes is one asshole to ruin an entire institution's worth of value and support. Of course, Penn State should already know that one.
In all seriousness, though, this is more of cautionary tale for those who would enlist PR firms to do your dirty work: despite their job description, PR and marketing representatives are still human beings, very much capable of making mistakes. Thus, Penn State, take this to heart: if the fruit of one of your PR firms starts going sour, cut it from the branch as soon as possible. What exactly qualifies as "going sour" is up to you, but seeing one of your representatives tell a client that they "just got told" is probably a good indicator. The minute they realize they are being talked down to, even the most loyal apologist of Penn State could transform into their worst enemy.
Finally, the greatest lesson of all in PR crisis management can be found here. And that lesson is simple: don't be like Paul Christoforo.

"one of the nominees for this years Nebula Award..." "Space travel, asteroids, secret scientific developments and arguments about the ethics of tinkering with the basic genome add spice to the stew. McDevitt's work in this area is being compared to that of the late Isaac Asimov..." |

Continuing on the theme of Hall of Fame members who have some lesser known tidbits involving them, let's visit the Los Angeles Rams of the early 1950's again. If it seems like we keep going back there, the reason is due to how much took place at that time and place in America.
They played before 100,000 a game in the Los Angeles Coliseum, with alternating quarterbacks who BOTH made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Just think about that. How could a team have alternating quarterbacks who both made the Hall of Fame, and it's not a trick question or topic.
The players were Norm Van Brocklin and Bob Waterfield, but their performances were just part of the story.
This was the time in America just after World War II, and so much was happening all at once on the West Coast:
Consider: all the returning veterans from the war and for the first time in our history the GI Bill gave the possibility of college to tens of thousands who did not have it before. Simultaneously there was the development of the super highway system, the time payment plan for housing, corresponding with the creation of suburbia, the development of the shopping mall, and of course, the Rams.
They won division titles in 1949, 1950, 1951 and 1955, winning the NFL championship in 1951 and losing the title game in 1949 and 1955.
They scored 466 points in a 12-game season in 1950, 38.8 points per game in a devastating offensive assault that featured options, flea flickers, downfield laterals and just about any other creative thing you could imagine.
Waterfield and Van Brocklin posted astounding passing numbers for the Rams, and Van Brocklin of course went on to quarterback the Philadelphia Eagles to the last world crown in 1960, then took over the expansion Minnesota Vikings as their head coach.
But both had personal stories that the world at large did not realize.
Van Brocklin's nickname was "The Dutchman" and his reputation was tough as nails, but he had the proverbial heart of gold.
Something that I know that very few others do is that at one stage of Van Brocklin's career—and I won't identify the year or city, for privacy issues—a wonderful member of the team's front office was trying to buy a house for his expanding family but was having trouble coming up with the down payment.
Norm Van Brocklin gave this individual the money and said he could pay it back when it was comfortable. That time came, and the individual repeatedly tried to pay his quarterback, but Van Brocklin would never take the money back.
As for Waterfield, in 1943 he scored one of the biggest Hollywood stories of the year in marrying Jane Russell, who starred in the legendary Howard Hughes film, "The Outlaw," that same year. Perhaps I'll do another blog about the significance of Jane Russell and that movie in motion picture history—huge, with no puns intended.
With hearts as big as they could be, The Russell-Waterfield marriage adopted three children and in 1955, with the support of her quarterback husband, Jane Russell founded the World Adoption International Fund.
Can you imagine the publicity today if, say a team had two quarterbacks who had that situation?
By the way, the Rams of the 1950's also had a Hall of Fame owner (Dan Reeves) and a young public relations man who went on to become the team's general manager, and then pro football's commissioner—Pete Rozelle.
So as you can see, we'll be visiting the 1950's Rams again.
But for today, let's just chew on the fact that once upon a time, in another era of the NFL, a team had alternating quarterbacks who performed the above charitable acts while combining for two Hall of Fame careers, with Waterfield inducted in 1965 and Van Brocklin joining him in 1971.

Charlie invites Josh Weston over. Justin Dragon, Daniel Montes, and Brad Benton join Josh and Charlie poolside-waiting for the manly games to begin. Soon each of the studs is deeply engaged in satisfying the others. Cock-sucking, ass-teasing, rimming, and frottage make the summer day even hotter. As the first cocks penetrate hungry assholes, Jim Bentley arrives-Charlie's caretaking stint is over-but Jim wants to enjoy the arousing scene. He throws himself into the action-rimming, sucking, and stroking his way into the group of muscled studs. The men take turns fucking each other, edging closer to their collective climax, which they release over Brad Benton's chest.When their loads are spent and Brad is soaked in semen, the men enjoy a cooling dip in the shimmering waters.

CD/LP/Track Review
Bruce Kaphan Quartet: Bruce Kaphan Quartet (2012)
Kaphan includes a couple of standards in the repertoire, allowing the steel guitarist and his band mates ample opportunity to demonstrate their versatility. "Birdland" features his melodic chords structured around the tune, while drummer Jason Lewis ' danceable rhythms give it a rock 'n' roll feel. The languid, almost Hawaiian treatment of "What's New" showcases Kaphan's rootsy strumming and John R. Burr 's smoothly flowing piano lines.
Burr channels his inner boogie-woogie on a deconstruction of Allman Brothers Band 's "Jessica," while Kaphan demonstrates his western swing influences and Jeffrey Wash deftly pushes the limits of the fretless bass, an axe he truly masters.
Wash's intelligently constructed solo brings out a vaguely bebop feel to the otherwise laidback "Grapple with the Apple," while his mellifluous and intricate improvisation highlights the enchanting complexity of "Iz Isn't."
Kaphan's originals paint sonic pictures of quintessential Americana; the atmospheric "Aether" conjures up images of night falling over dusty roads and cornfields. The equally evocative "Waiting" is a bittersweet ode to anticipation expressed in the guitar's twangs, while the rhythm section pushes the melody forward like trains entering and leaving the station. More urban sounds abound on "Running With The Big Dogs," where Burr's fusion-esque piano and Lewis' propulsive drums enhance the mood.
Part nostalgic ballad and part road song, Wash's "Highway Remembered" concludes the CD on a lyrical and poetic note. Although this album may not be for purists, it is nevertheless beautifully emotive with plenty of improvisational rigor, making it a unique and delightful musical opus.
Track Listing: Aether; Waiting; Been Here Soon; Grapple With The Apple; Iz Isn't;
Birdland; What's New; running With The Big Dogs; En Nior Et Blanc;
Jessica; Highways Remembered.
Personnel: Jason Lewis: drums, percussion; Jeffrey Wash: fretless electric bass; Bruce Kaphan: pedal steel guitar, synthesizer; John R. Burr: piano (1, 2, 4-8, 10); Rich Kuhns: piano (3, 9, 11); John Wiitala: upright bass (7).

Update IE to the latest version, along with flash. I used to love IE, until I wondered over to FF and then Chrome. Just keep us updated on solving your problem. |

- Inside Intellectual Ventures' patent factory (pictures)
Into the labs
BELLEVUE, Wash. -- The creation arm of Intellectual Ventures is its network of laboratories. Located a short drive from the company's corporate headquarters are a series of buildings where the company is at work on things it hopes to patent. These range from mosquito-killing lasers, to contraptions that keep vaccines cold for months at a time. Click through for a peek at the lab facilities and the few lab efforts under way that the company lets outsiders see.

I thought I would post this one for anyone that is scrambling around last minute getting Valentine's Day treats together.
I haven't tried this stuff but it is supposed to be a frosting that thaws in one hour and tastes a little less sweet then regular frosting. This is supposed to be closer to homemade.…

Tyler Olander is back with UConn. (John Woike / Hartford Courant / December 4, 2012) |
Tyler Olander is back with the UConn basketball team and practiced with the Huskies on Thursday.
"Tyler has demonstrated to me an added level of responsibility and maturity," coach Kevin Ollie said. "His time management has been outstanding, his academic work has been excellent. We have spoken at length and I thought it was time that he be given the chance to rejoin his teammates."
Olander, a 6-foot-10 senior from Mansfield and UConn's starting center most of last season, was pulled over and arrested on Sept. 14. Breathalyzer tests showed he was not legally drunk, but on Sept, 23 he pleaded guilty to driving without a license and paid a $75 fine.
"I hope people don't see this as a reflection of who I am," Olander said as he left Superior Court in Rockville that day. "I hope they see I'm a good kid. I've just made some mistakes, as everybody does."
In March he was arrested for trespassing during spring break in Florida, eventually paying a $280 fine and performing community service.
Olander was suspended from the team after his arrest and Ollie said last week he was "evaluating him each and every day" regarding his academic work and his behavior.
On Sept. 23 Olander said he would "be grateful for the opportunity" to return to the team.
Teammates have been supportive. On Sept. 25, captain Shabazz Napier said he thought Olander had made a good choice, driving a friend's car because the people with him were not fit to drive.
Olander, who spent the spring and summer recovering from a broken foot and surgery just after the season, is now back to begin his senior season and looks to improve on his numbers of last season, 4.3 points and 3.7 rebounds.

You may have what sounds like the best idea in the world. But before you do anything else, try to poke as many holes in it as you can.
You may have what sounds like the best idea in the world. But before you do anything else, try to poke as many holes in it as you can.
Some newfangled ideas are just too tempting to pass up. So entrepreneurs and managers rush to jump on them. Never mind asking key questions like, "How exactly will this work?" and "What do we want to accomplish?"
Take C&A Brazil, a South American clothing store that recently launched an interesting marketing campaign. Customers can go to a special collection online and press a Facebook "like" button on specific articles of clothing. The votes get tallied and are displayed in real time on the hangers of the items in the company's São Paulo flagship store.
It's a clever idea that has received a lot of press. But it's also the type of idea that could trip the company into making a bad decision. Tying fashion to fast-moving popularity votes could artificially drive sales to the more favored items without allowing merchandise buyers adequate time to react and adjust inventory levels. Maybe it's something to do only for a short time, in which case the company must justify the cost of implementing the technology for limited use.
The impulse to want to innovate and run the organization more effectively is a good one. However, it can break down early on if no one is asking good questions. Unless you ask the right questions, based on what you're really trying to achieve, the results may be a waste of money, time, and, worst of all, the "willingness" capital of employees to work hard and make something new a success.
A great example of the phenomenon is chronicled in the 2003 book by Michael Lewis, Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. On the surface about baseball, it's really about business and the irrational way in which people make decisions.
Many who came up traditionally in the game would resolutely look at the statistics they had learned to follow, such as runs batted in and number of home runs. But it turns out that those statistics weren't the ones that would statistically lead to winning games.
Far more important were numbers like the percentage of times batters would actually get on base. That's because to win games, you need to have people in position to score runs and you also have to reduce the number of outs you make, because reaching three outs ends your turn at bat and completely resets your attempt to score more runs. For years, people running baseball franchises were looking at the wrong numbers because they hadn't closely examined the connections between what those numbers meant and what they were paid to accomplish.
The right questions will change, depending on the company and circumstances. But here are some general ones to modify for your deliberations:
Success is never a given, but you're more likely to find it when you look the right way, and that means asking the right questions up front.

Virgin Mobile focuses on 4G - no NBN retail aspirations
- 03 July, 2012 11:00
Virgin Mobile has no plans to enter the National Broadband Network (NBN) retail market, instead focusing its attention on building out its mobile customer base and its 4G capabilities.
While Virgin Mobile currently offers prepaid and postpaid broadband and plans for tablets, David Scribner, Virgin Mobile Australia marketing director, told Computerworld Australia that the company is focused on mobile services.
"We are focused as a mobile carrier on mobility, so we're looking at the next generation of 4G and how that plays into what we're doing," he said.
Virgin Mobile, which uses the Optus network, will use the Optus 4G network to deliver 4G to its customers in the next "few months" at the same time as Optus rolls out its 4G offering.
The Optus 4G network is currently being trialled in Greater Newcastle, Port Stephens, the Hunter Valley and Lake Macquarie.
While Scribner said Virgin Mobile is not specifically eyeing off the number three position in the market – it is currently placed fourth – it does have keen aspirations for growth and is on "that trajectory at the moment," Scribner said.
"…so growth in our customer numbers and to ensure that we remain competitive in that."
The focus of this growth will rest on a three-pronged approach – retaining a number one rating in customer satisfaction, as rated by Roy Morgan research, simplifying rates and building brand awareness through advertising campaigns with a twist, such as using Brad Pitt's brother, Doug Pitt, as a 'celebrity' endorser.
"We believe that the telco industry has elements that are unfair. As the fourth player in the industry, [we] like to promote that we are the fairest telco," Scribner said.
Virgin Mobile is also making use of other Virgin products to offer further incentives to consumers to sign up with it. For example, linking the Virgin Velocity frequent flyer program with phone plans to earn points and also giving discounts and points for using Virgin credit cards in conjunction with Virgin Mobile.
However, Scribner said the value-adds and changes to phone plans, such as reducing the number of plans available on Virgin Mobile to five, have not been prompted by competition in the market.
"We think that we're riding a course that's different to the rest of the industry," he said.
"…We have the largest percentage growth of any of the major telcos of last year, but there's no doubt that there's always pressure in the market. But we think that there's elements where we can have a reasonable profit."

Lawmakers Discuss Midwifery Bill
Lawmakers discussed a bill yesterday that would allow midwives who are not certified nurses to practice midwifery in the state.
Jessica Jones: Under current state law, only certified nurse midwives are allowed to deliver babies, and they must do so under a doctor's supervision. But surrounding states allow non-nurse midwives to practice. Democratic Representative Becky Carney is a sponsor of the measure.
Becky Carney: Today is a real turning point for us here in North Carolina to deal with this very growing population of citizens in our state that want to be able to have that choice safely, to have their babies at home.
But some physicians are opposed to the measure, saying there aren't enough safeguards in cases of high risk deliveries. Dr. Frank Harrison is an ob/gyn in Charlotte.
Frank Harrison: I think to push this bill forward is going to push the safety and health care of women in this state backwards by at least eighty years. It's not clear whether the bill will make it to the House floor during this legislative session.
