Abstract. One method for detecting fraud is to check for suspicious changes in user behavior. This paper describes the automatic design of user profiling methods for the purpose of fraud detection, using a series of data mining techniques. Specifically, we use a rule-learning program to uncover indicators of fraudulent behavior from a large database of customer transactions. Then the indicators are used to create a set of monitors, which profile legitimate customer behavior and indicate anomalies. Finally, the outputs of the monitors are used as features in a system that learns to combine evidence to generate high-confidence alarms. The system has been applied to the problem of detecting cellular cloning fraud based on a database of call records. Experiments indicate that this automatic approach performs better than hand-crafted methods for detecting fraud. Furthermore, this approach can adapt to the changing conditions typical of fraud detection environments.

Anharmonic Normal Mode Analysis of Elastic Network Model Improves the Modeling of Atomic Fluctuations in Protein Crystal Structures Biophysical Journal, Volume 98, Issue 12, 16 June 2010, Pages 3025-3034 Wenjun Zheng Abstract Protein conformational dynamics, despite its significant anharmonicity, has been widely explored by normal mode analysis (NMA) based on atomic or coarse-grained potential functions. To account for the anharmonic aspects of protein dynamics, this study proposes, and has performed, an anharmonic NMA (ANMA) based on the Cα-only elastic network models, which assume elastic interactions between pairs of residues whose Cα atoms or heavy atoms are within a cutoff distance. The key step of ANMA is to sample an anharmonic potential function along the directions of eigenvectors of the lowest normal modes to determine the mean-squared fluctuations along these directions. ANMA was evaluated based on the modeling of anisotropic displacement parameters (ADPs) from a list of 83 high-resolution protein crystal structures. Significant improvement was found in the modeling of ADPs by ANMA compared with standard NMA. Further improvement in the modeling of ADPs is attained if the interactions between a protein and its crystalline environment are taken into account. In addition, this study has determined the optimal cutoff distances for ADP modeling based on elastic network models, and these agree well with the peaks of the statistical distributions of distances between Cα atoms or heavy atoms derived from a large set of protein crystal structures.

Influence of Hydration on the Dynamics of Lysozyme Biophysical Journal, Volume 91, Issue 7, 1 October 2006, Pages 2573-2588 J.H. Roh, J.E. Curtis, S. Azzam, V.N. Novikov, I. Peral, Z. Chowdhuri, R.B. Gregory and A.P. Sokolov Abstract Quasielastic neutron and light-scattering techniques along with molecular dynamics simulations were employed to study the influence of hydration on the internal dynamics of lysozyme. We identified three major relaxation processes that contribute to the observed dynamics in the picosecond to nanosecond time range: 1), fluctuations of methyl groups; 2), fast picosecond relaxation; and 3), a slow relaxation process. A low-temperature onset of anharmonicity at T∼100K is ascribed to methyl-group dynamics that is not sensitive to hydration level. The increase of hydration level seems to first increase the fast relaxation process and then activate the slow relaxation process at h∼0.2. The quasielastic scattering intensity associated with the slow process increases sharply with an increase of hydration to above h∼0.2. Activation of the slow process is responsible for the dynamical transition at T∼200K. The dependence of the slow process on hydration correlates with the hydration dependence of the enzymatic activity of lysozyme, whereas the dependence of the fast process seems to correlate with the hydration dependence of hydrogen exchange of lysozyme.

Hydration Affects Both Harmonic and Anharmonic Nature of Protein Dynamics Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 6, 15 September 2008, Pages 2916-2923 H. Nakagawa, Y. Joti, A. Kitao and M. Kataoka Abstract To understand the effect of hydration on protein dynamics, inelastic neutron-scattering experiments were performed on staphylococcal nuclease samples at differing hydration levels: dehydrated, partially hydrated, and hydrated. At cryogenic temperatures, hydration affected the collective motions with energies lower than 5meV, whereas the high-energy localized motions were independent of hydration. The prominent change was a shift of boson peak toward higher energy by hydration, suggesting a hardening of harmonic potential at local minima on the energy landscape. The 240K transition was observed only for the hydrated protein. Significant quasielastic scattering at 300K was observed only for the hydrated sample, indicating that the origin of the transition is the motion activated by hydration water. The neutron-scattering profile of the partially hydrated sample was quite similar to that of the hydrated sample at 100K and 200K, whereas it was close to the dehydrated sample at 300K, indicating that partial hydration is sufficient to affect the harmonic nature of protein dynamics, and that there is a threshold hydration level to activate anharmonic motions. Thus, hydration water controls both harmonic and anharmonic protein dynamics by differing means. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (159 kb) |

In the presence of lipid bilayers, the hexapeptide AcWL5 forms membrane-bound aggregates dominated by β-secondary structure and is thus a useful model for the onset of peptide aggregation in membrane environments. Two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectra in the amide I region for aggregates of AcWL5 peptides with single isotopic labels provide new insight into the residue-level structural ordering of the aggregated peptides. Separation of spectral information along two axes provides clear indications of the band frequencies and relative intensities, which together are an indication of extended amide coupling networks across structural regions of a particular size. The lowered anharmonicities, relative to free peptide, and the narrow, homogeneous lineshapes of the 2D IR peaks indicate the delocalization of vibrational modes through an ordered structure whose flexibility varies with relative peptide concentration. Crosspeaks between delocalized transitions can be used to estimate the strength of the coupling interactions between neighboring residues. The sensitivity of 2D IR spectra to residue-level structural ordering shows that 2D IR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for probing structures formed during the onset of peptide aggregation.

Kirsten Caroline Dunst (born April 30, 1982) is an American actress, singer and model. She made her film debut in Oedipus Wrecks, a short film directed by Woody Allen for the anthology New York Stories (1989). At the age of 12, Dunst gained widespread recognition playing the role of vampire Claudia in Interview with the Vampire (1994), a performance for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. The same year she appeared in Little Women, to further acclaim.
Dunst achieved international fame as a result of her portrayal of Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man trilogy (2002–07). Since then her films have included the romantic comedy Wimbledon (2004), the romantic science fiction Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) and Cameron Crowe's tragicomedy Elizabethtown (2005). She played the title role in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (2006), and she starred in the comedy How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008).
In 2001, Dunst made her singing debut in the film Get Over It, in which she performed two songs. She also sang the jazz song "After You've Gone" for the end credits of the film The Cat's Meow (2001). In early 2008, Dunst confirmed she was suffering from depression, checking into a treatment center before discharging herself in March and resuming her career.

Bernadette Peters, Martin Short, Boyd Gaines and Richard Gere Star in March 12 Gala Celebrating Rob Marshall
By Kenneth Jones

Here's an overview of some of the most common questions parents have about vaccines:
Can my child handle so many shots?
Vaccines are made of inactive or very weakened forms of a bacteria or virus. When they enter the body (either orally or through an injection), the immune system responds by creating protective antibodies. These antibodies then live in the body, providing protection against any exposure to the full-force version of the disease.
It's easy to be scared off by the idea of injecting your child with even an extremely weakened or inactive form of an illness. But think of this: The average bacterium that causes a common ear infection is made up of about 3,000 immune components. Every dose of every shot that your child will receive between now and age 8, added together, contain only about 150 immune components, says Dr. Paul Offit, M.D., chief, Division of Infectious Diseases at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Even when your child gets many shots at once, it's still just a tiny amount of the trillions of bacteria that her immune system deals with on a daily basis.
Do these diseases even still exist?
Unlike our parents and grandparents, we're lucky to live in an era that has benefitted from a widely immunized population; we don't see children that are paralyzed by polio or deaf because of the mumps. Many of the shots that our kids receive prevent diseases that many of us haven't even heard of – diphtheria, anyone?
But when immunization rates drop, these deadly diseases can reemerge. That's because vaccines aren't 100-percent effective; on average about 95 percent of the protection comes from the vaccine and the remaining protection comes from living in a community where there are low rates of the disease. So for vaccines to keep a disease in check, most people in a community need to be immunized, so they're not contracting and spreading the disease. This way, the few people that are not able to be vaccinated -- say, a child sick with leukemia, or a newborn who hasn't had her shots -- will hopefully be protected by what's called "herd" or "community" immunity.
There are parents who choose not to vaccinate their children based on either religious, philosophical or health objections, and the vaccines that are required to enter daycare or school vary from state to state. Many of these parents argue that their unvaccinated kids can benefit from herd immunity, too. Unfortunately, this isn't a reliable way to protect your child. There have been deadly outbreaks of measles and pertussis in the United States in areas where vaccine rates have fallen. In Eastern Europe and Russia, where immunization has dropped, there have been tens of thousands of cases of diphtheria. For vaccines to work, a community needs to have high rates of immunization. Immunization not only protects your child, but your nieces, nephews, and neighbors, too.
Are vaccines safe?
Without daily reminders of the threat of these diseases, some people have started to fear the vaccines more than the diseases that they prevent. In recent years, a very vocal anti-vaccine movement has emerged, suggesting that vaccines are to blame for everything from allergies to diabetes to asthma to autism. While none of these claims have been proven true, there is still a growing community of scared parents who choose not to vaccinate their children based on this misinformation. In turn, these well-meaning parents end up putting their children at risk, and endangering their community as a whole.
As with any medical intervention, nothing is 100-percent risk free. But when you weigh the risks and benefits, the benefits of protecting your child against deadly diseases far outweigh the very remote risk that the vaccine may cause a reaction. The vast majority of children receiving an immunization will not have any reaction and if they do, it will be a minor one, like redness or soreness at the injection site. Keep reading for a review of the risks of reaction for every vaccine, as well as what you may have heard, and the bottom line as far as safety.
What is thimerosal?
Part of the controversy around vaccines stems from a preservative called thimerosal that was once regularly used in vaccines. Concerns arose because thimerosal is a compound that contains a form of mercury, known as ethylmercury. Another type of mercury, known as methylmercury, can, in large doses (say, from drinking contaminated water or eating large amounts of contaminated fish), harm the brain development of a fetus or child. With the increased number of shots that children receive, some wondered whether children were being exposed to too much of this preservative. In particular, there were concerns that the preservative was to blame for increasing rates of autism, a behavioral disorder that has been on the rise in the U.S. in the past few decades.
As a precautionary measure, thimerosal was removed in 1999 from most vaccines (or reduced to trace amounts), with the exception of the flu vaccine, which is available without the preservative, though you need to request it from your doctor. But it's worth understanding that while the methylmercury found in large fish can build up in the body and harm the developing brain of a growing child, the ethylmercury in thimerosal does not build up in the body. "It's never been linked to any adverse effect," says William Schaffner, M.D., professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in Nashville, TN. And autism rates in the US have continued to rise even after the preservative was removed from nearly all of the vaccines that children receive. In 2010, a U.S. court ruled that vaccines containing thimerosal cannot cause autism on their own. Read on for more about how the link between thimerosal and autism has been disproven.

In Response to Legitimate looking scams: Over the last few weeks, I've been receivng emails from banks, my Chase Visa and Microsoft that look very suspicious. The one from Visa told me that they were upgrading their information to protect their clients from "cyber-terrorism" and that I should give them sensitive informaiton in the process. Some come from banks telling me that I've been a possible victim of identity theft and should upgrade my information and status. From Microsoft, there's one that's telling me I won a lottery with them, but to contact them with my personal identification. Others are pop-ups on websites, AARP being one, of where I'm told that I will win a gift if I participate in a survey. The one on AARP told me that I'd win something from Best Buy is I responded to 3 questions within a few minutes. The most shocking is a pop-up from Microsoft telling me that my computer has been infected with a damaging virus which can be cleared if I purchase their "downloads". This is very frightening because, back in December of 2010, it infected my computer when I didn't "purchase" their "packages". It cost me over $200 to remove the virus which, I think, came from Russia. I hope we all know better to ignore emails from Nigeria and lottery winnings from other countries. These came up when I went on several game sites. Ignore pop-ups as well as they're trying to sell you their services. My advice is to call your banking institutions or credit card companies if you receive a legitimate looking email telling you that you need to give your personal information as they're protecting you from cyber-terrorism. Posted by intersan That is good advice, thank you intersan! And, I might add that anyone receiving emails when they try to sell sometthing online , must be aware of the fraudulent checks, money orders, and moneygrams out there! The email I recieved saying they wanted to buy the computer I advertised online led to my receipt of a fraudulent moneygram, stating Wells Fargo Bank, and some company called Wilco. I didn't realize it was a scam until I received the check in an amount $2000 over the advertised price! Oh, and then he started with the texts giving me instructions on how to deal with the funds!!! I don't text at all. And , I don't need twenty emails to tell me how to deal with a check or money order! That was a big red flag, too! I forwarded the emails to email@example.com, and I sent them to Wells Fargo, since they are a victim , too. Crooks everywhere! Oh, and when I took the money order to a bank , to verify that it was bad, the teller said her husband would buy the computer! |

Community Educational Outreach (CEO) is devoted to providing educational resources that target low-income adults who may be at risk of being institutionalized. CEO outreaches to local community correction, drug rehabilitation, and community based facilities in an effort to help clients remain productive members of society. Through student-centered, individual, and small-group instruction, we assist our students in pursuing the following goals:
In 1990, our founders recognized the lack of educational opportunities for inmates transitioning back into the community. At that time, there were no educational services offered to Denver community corrections clients, nor were there any local adult education providers specializing in meeting the distinct needs of people at risk of incarceration. CEO started as an in-house education program at Alpha Center, a transitional facility between prison and the community. With the successes at Alpha, CEO was able to establish in-house education programs at other facilities. Funding was acquired from the Adult Education Act, the McKinney Act, the Division of Criminal Justice, the Workforce Investment Act, Adult Education and Family literacy Act, and private and in-kind contributions.
Since its inception in 1991, CEO has provided comprehensive instruction – including academic, life and job skills classes – to nearly 7500 addicts, offenders, and community members. CEO has provided more than 200,000 hours of instruction at facilities such as Cenikor, Tooley Hall Women's Facility, Williams Street Center, Intervention Community Corrections Services, Independence House, Community Responsibility Center, Northeast Women's Center, and Alpha Center.
Our students are generally in transitional facilities and face a return to the streets, prison, or hospitalization; many have children. CEO, by partnering with community agencies and correction organizations, provides on-site educational services to at-risk adult students. CEO programs do not duplicate existing programs. Our clients have uncommon needs and unique social and legal status, which generally make adult education programs difficult or ineffective for our target population. We assist students working on literacy skills, GED preparation, job search and employment skills, and other identified educational goals.
CEO's students not only face the challenge of finding work after incarceration, but are also hindered by low education levels. Many of our students have themselves been victims of crime and have experienced difficult and destabilized lives. Incarceration is often the result of an inability to be successful, independent, and responsible. CEO works to help students gain the skills they need to become self-reliant, responsible members of society.
Offenders have a significant need for Adult Basic and Secondary Education and job skills programming. Deficits in previous employment and actual skill level have a serious impact on the ability of offenders to gain and maintain full-time employment.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, the average prison inmate has only completed 10th grade. Additionally, 43 percent of inmates were not fully employed at the time of their arrest. The Bureau of Justice also reports that recidivism decreases as skill level increases, educated and employed people are less likely to become statistics in our overcrowded prison system. Studies show that inmates with a literacy level equivalent to the 6th grade or below recidivate at nearly 40% while that number drops to 25% for people who have a GED or higher.

Best-selling novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" can't compete with the seven shades of green for St. Patrick's Day.
Food color, after all, is the key ingredient to making Irish goodies for March 17. It doesn't take much more than that to turn golden beer emerald and whipped cream minty green. But, you'd be wrong if you thought all you had to do was indiscriminantly squirt food color and produce, say, that hue that says faith and begorrah: shamrock.
Nope, it's all about the correct formula. To turn, for example, a 16-ounce can of white frosting shamrock green requires 25 drops of green food color and two drops of blue, says the Seven Shades of Green chart compiled by McCormick.
And, as long as you've got your basic green, yellow and blue bottles of food colors, you can create emerald, mint, shamrock and garden green. Invest in bottles of Neon Green and Neon Blue food color and well, you'll be able to add Green Apple and Teal to your color repertoire.
Green Beer, by the way requires about five to six drops of green food color to 12 ounces of beer.
Try out the formulas from the chart shown courtesy of McCormick on the following recipes.
Here's a new twist, though.

whatever you dream to do, begin it — boldness has genius, power and magic in it! goethe
Big Animals Expeditions is an exclusive adventure company led by world-renowned photographer Amos Nachoum. Every year, we interact with the most exciting animals on the planet — great white shark, polar bear, blue whale, mountain gorilla, elephant, lion, cheetah, striped marlin, sailfish, anaconda, pink dolphin, snow leopard, and more — and Amos helps you capture their true essence in the most spectacular wildlife photographs you'll ever take.
When you come on one of our voyages, you'll be joining a small, elite group of bold individuals who insist on experiencing the natural world in its most pure and uncompromising state — which is a good thing, because it's a lot more fun that way.
Amos carefully plans each trip around the way each animal lives. With the utmost respect for their needs. With his own unique sense of mission. And with all the expertise, humor, and undaunted passion one needs to lead four people at a time on the most exhilarating journey of their lives.
For any of these trips — with as much luxury and comfort as we can give you, as long as it doesn't conflict with your safety or that of the animals — you'll be provided with all the guidance you need to rise above yourself in every way. And your life will be transformed — while the lives of the magnificent creatures you've come to know will experience no human impact at all.
We invite you to spend some time enjoying the amazing stories and stunning images from our recent expeditions, and to begin the next great adventure of your life.

Recipe by DS
"This is a traditional Turkish dish that is mainly ate in the winter. I instantly fell in love with the warm savory flavors of this dish. Although I've used ravioli in this recipe, it is traditionally done with a similar pasta called Manti that you can buy from any online Turkish store."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried mint
1 (9 ounce) package beef ravioli
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) container plain whole milk yogurt
You are actually not suppose drain the water out of the ravioli! It is suppose to be like creamy soup! So I would say use one ladle of the water and as little or as much yogurt as you would like. Sorry it got left out!
I have never eaten Turkish food before, but am always game to try something new. Maybe it is an acquired taste, but this was not to my liking.

If you make the yogurt/garlic mixture a few hours ahead and leave it in the fridge it's tastier. I also mix the mint into the yogurt. My mother-in-law uses a bit of tomato sauce heated in olive oil instead of the butter/paprika. I've had it both ways and prefer the tomato sauce/olive oil more. Ravioli is a good substitute but real Manti makes a difference. Living in Turkey we can get all different kinds and they are delicious. If you have the opportunity to get the original, try it.
I never tried manti before told a local turk this was the american version and added garlic and tomatoes sauce as an authentic recipe indicated... either way its good! I will find out if a real turk can accept it
I'm sure real manti would be even better, but this is a quick, easy and delicious way to fix frozen beef ravioli. I only used 6 oz. of yogurt because that's the size the whole milk brand I found comes in. It was plenty to give the pasta a nice coating. Update: I've now been to Turkey and had real manti...where I was they did drain them. Manti are really tiny, but the ravioli are a fair substitute, taste-wise. I still think this is a great recipe. Thanks again, Dana!
When we tried it, it was a little bland, so we added more paprika, salt and pepper at the table. Once it was a little spicer, it had a great flavor! Very easy, would make it again.
amazing! Just like the real thing- which is much harder to make!
Very easy. I left the water off the ravioli and just spooned the yogurt(i heated it first) on it thick then the butter. I made my own ravioli with crab, cheese tomato and pesto, so the yogurt was perfect to soften the ravioli spices.

Born on June 24, 1986, in Houston, Texas, Solange is the younger sister of R&B performer Beyoncé. Coming out of her sister's shadow, Solange made a name for herself in both the music and fashion industries as a singer, dancer and a model. In 2013, she launched her own record label, Saint Records.
Early Life and Career
Singer-songwriter and model Solange Piaget Knowles was born on June 24, 1986, in Houston, Texas. Her mother, Tina, is of Creole heritage, and her father, Mathew, is African American. Her older sister is famed R&B performer Beyoncé, formerly of the all-female singing group Destiny's Child. Also an actress, dancer and savvy businesswoman, Solange Knowles performs under the name Solange.
Solange was only 13 years old and still wearing braces on her teeth when she performed as a backup dancer on tour with Destiny's Child. She first sang professionally on their holiday album, 8 Days of Christmas.
Music Career Takes Off
It didn't take long for Solange to come out from her sister's shadow to make a name for herself in both the music and fashion industries. When Solange was 16, her father, who was also her manager, signed her to his record company, Music World Entertainment. In 2002, she appeared on two major musical projects: Lil' Romeo's Game Time album and former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland's Simply Deep, for which Solange wrote the title track.
Solange's debut album, Solo Star, was released in 2003. Soon after, the budding star was writing songs for sister Beyoncé, Rowland and third Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams.
On February 27, 2004, a 17-year-old Solange married Daniel Smith Jr., who later became a football coach. The couple soon moved to Idaho so that Smith could attend school there. Later in 2004, Solange gave birth to their first child together, son Daniel Julez Smith Jr. (who she calls "Julez"). The couple divorced in 2007. Motherhood "was always chill and easy," Solange told New York Magazine in a 2012 interview, but "marriage is a whole 'nother ball game."
Solange signed a record deal with Geffen Records in 2007. Her second album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, featured such artists as Mark Ronson, the Neptunes and Cee Lo Green. As with her first album, Sol-Angel failed to garner commercial success.
Other Ventures
Solange has modeled for House of Deréon, a clothing line designed by her mother. In 2013, she launched her own record label, Saint Records, through which she intended to produce and release a full-length album and other music projects.
Keeping homes in both Houston and Los Angeles, California, Knowles moved to Brooklyn, New York, in 2011 to be closer to her family and for more opportunities to work her craft.
As an actress, Knowles has performed voice-over work for film and television features, including the animated series The Proud Family and the DVD Bring It On: All or Nothing.

(9 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis) Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake This private tour of Burma includes the country's most popular destinations. All touring is with your own private guide and driver, and accommodation is at the country's best luxury hotels.
Begin in Yangon (Rangoon). With your private guide and driver, tour the Shwedagon Pagoda, a 300-foot tall golden Buddhist reliquary and the city's most spectacular landmark, the sprawling Scott Market and the National Museum. Also visit neighborhoods that reflect Yangon's Burmese, British, Indian, Bangladeshi and indigenous influences. Next, fly to unforgettable, awe-inspiring Bagan, where thousands of pagodas and temples stretch from the Ayeyarwady River out across miles of arid plains. Tour the structures, built between the 11th and 13th centuries when Bagan was a major Buddhist center of Southeast Asia, and learn about the history carved in their layered facades, painted in their interior frescoes and sculpted in their Buddhist statues. Also visit local markets and villages. If desired, take a memorable hot air balloon ride over the temples as the sun rises. One evening, ride in a horse-drawn carriage through Bagan at sunset. Another night, take a sunset cruise on the river. If desired, visit Mt. Popa, a place of pilgrimage for over 700 years that is believed to be the home of Myanmar's powerful nats, or Burmese spirits associated with natural features. Continue to fabled Mandalay, the cultural heart of Myanmar. Visit craft districts and markets throughout the city and watch a procession of monks at a monastery in the silk weaving center of Amarapura. Also, tour pagodas and ruins in Ava, Mingun and Sagaing—all ancient capitals. Next, tour Inle Lake, home of the Intha people, and the surrounding countryside. Take a canoe ride down Inle's canals, pass through floating villages built on stilts, and see how the Intha grow crops on reed islands. Visit local crafts villages to shop for distinctive textiles, ceramics and lacquerware, and tour In Dein, where ancient pagodas overlook the lake. Also visit a local vineyard for wine tasting.
Spend a final night in Yangon before departing Burma.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Win or lose, football coaches Donnie Mays and Craig Snyder figure their friendship will survive whatever outcome results when their respective teams face Friday.
The two coaches started a bond approximately five years ago, then assistant coaches, and since have shared film, advice and friendship. For the first time since that mutual respect relationship started, the coaches will face one another when South Charleston plays host to Winfield 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Mays, the second-year Black Eagles coach, said jokingly the coaches, who normally communicate often, might experience a period of silence during the weekend following the game.
"He'll hate me for about 24 hours or I'll hate him for about 24 hours, whatever it is, but we're still going to be friends in the end," he said.
South Charleston enters the Mountain State Athletic Conference tilt with a 5-2 record, ranked 10th in this week's Daily Mail poll, while Winfield (3-3) looks to add a signature win to a hopeful postseason resume.
Mays said the two coaches struck a friendship as the result of discussions during 7-on-7 camps approximately five or six years ago.
"We became friends through passing tournaments and he and I just started bouncing ideas off each other," he said. "There's a lot of similarities with his offense and ours, but that's pretty much how the relationship started. We usually give each other a phone call two, three times a week just to check on each other and see how everybody's doing. Of course, he won't answer my phone calls since we play them this week."
Winfield's Snyder, also a second-year head coach, said the two coaches have learned they share a lot in common football-related or not.
"I've always respected how he operated as a coach," Snyder said of Mays. "I like what he does offensively, and although I don't do the same thing offensively, there's some things he's shared with me I try to do. I don't think there are many secrets between coaches who respect each other. I really do respect him as a knowledgeable, hard-working coach."
Both coaches admit there are similarities between the two teams' spread offenses, some more secret than others this week.
"I told (Mays) Sunday after we watched film that I stole of his route combinations and he acted like he didn't care," Snyder said. "When he called me (Monday), the first thing he said was 'I got it narrowed down to three combinations that you've taken from me,' and I said 'I'm not telling you.'"
With a laugh, Mays said, "I don't like that guy at all," referring to his friend and this week's opponent.
Mays continued to joke about the swiped plays.

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium tuberculosis. It usually attacks the lungs, but TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. If not treated properly, tuberculosis can be deadly.It's spread through the air from one person to another. The bacteria gets into the air when a person with tuberculosis of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, or speaks. People can breathe in those bacteria and become infected. SYMPTOMS OF TB DISEASE + A bad cough that lasts three weeks or longer + Pain in the chest + Coughing up blood or sputum (phlegm from deep inside the lungs) + Weakness or fatigue + Weight loss + No appetite + Chills + Fever + Night sweatsTwo kinds of tests detect tuberculosis bacteria in the body: A skin test or a blood test. Both can be given by your health provider or local health department. WHO SHOULD GET TESTED + People who have been exposed to someone with the disease + Those with a compromised immune system + People with symptomsVIDEO: Click on the video player above to learn how hospitals prevent the spreading of TB disease in a report from FOX 2's Deena CentofantiLINK: Learn more about TB from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Wheeeeeee there's a protest!!!!
Wheeeeeee there's a protest!!!!
I can't help but feel that bek is in her room cheering that Aly finished in 4th .
US asking for a review. Good.
"Meryl is from a magic planet where Disney princesses come from, and [Charlie's] hair is a magic carpet." ~~ Stephen Colbert, on The Colbert Report
Seriosusly? I hope This fires her up for floor and she wins gold. Go Aly!
Ponor was crap, Raisman aside from one wobble was pretty solid, granted she's not the most graceful but still, she should have been third. I'd be protesting if I was the USA team. That's crap.
She is capable of even more, I agree. But just because she's not perfect the way we want her to be or know she can be does not mean that she's not fighting.
And about Mustafina having a fighting spirit: yes she has. But she didn't on beam in the AA and her floor was full of wobbles.
Well, that beam final was underwhelming. I hope Gabby and Vika can enjoy their awesome medals. They should be proud.
On to high bar and floor....well, I guess after the appeal.
Just watched the beam final- poor Aly I thought she deserved bronze. Overall a totally disappointing final--it started off so well too. I dont think Sui Lu's crying tears of joy either.
Aly!!! Congrats to her!!!
Christine is so right with the psychology of fighting for your place - American gymnasts, and being anointed the star - Komova.
Russians might be best to leave Komova off the team for a year or somethng and make her actually sort her shit out. That was lazy and insulting to Mustafina who could have been in the beam final instead.
Ugh...I hate ties!
Wheee for Aly
So Aly wins the tiebreaker this time
I feel happy for Aly but cannot help but feel for Catalina as well. it must suck to have a medal and then it's gone again.
Maybe she should go out and take a few drinks with the Ukrainian men team.
Actually no I don't care much either way, and I only saw Komova/Douglas routine.. I haven't seen Ponor and Raisman's routine this time. In general though I find Ponor more appealing on beam artistically than Raisman... But if its unfair its unfair.. I just didn't want Raisman winning the AA Besides now that she has a bronze on beam, I can root for others on floor.
Aly wins the tie breaker this time!
But will the emotional stress affect her on floor?
Creating drama!
I'm not too worried about Komova. I think she just needs some time to grow up a bit and hopefully in 4 years shell be a much stronger gymnast mentally.
Yay, Aly!!!
I feel bad for Ponor, but the better gymnast medaled.
Sheesh, what is it with these judges? First the men's team final, now this? And I thought figure skating judges were bad.
Having Raisman lose bronze on another tie would have been even worse . Cata could do that routing 10X better and she knows it

NEW YORK NURSE: July/August 2008
by Joely Johnson
More than 5,000 RNs in over 100 metropolitan New York hospitals responded to a survey recently conducted by the Center for Health Workforce Studies, a non-profit research group devoted to understanding the healthcare workforce. The study was designed to paint a picture of today's N.Y. nursing workforce and will help to direct future research.
Room for improvement
The study exposed some aspects of today's nursing environment that indicate needed improvement. Not surprisingly, many of the challenges nurses face have increased: RNs report higher patient acuity, more patients per nurse, more RN turnover, more frequent use of agency nurses, greater need for second-language skills, and more inadequate staffing.
In addition, experienced RNs said they usually or often feel burdened by the requirement to help prepare new nurses. Only 15.7% said that they feel properly trained to serve as preceptors.
The good news
The survey also provided some positive insights about the future of nursing in New York City. Only 2% of hospital RNs say they are planning to take a job outside of nursing in the next three years. Three-quarters report they have no plans to leave their current nursing position within that same time frame. And only 5% said they plan to leave their job in the next six months.
According to the findings, prior experience in the healthcare field is a strong avenue into registered nursing for Blacks and Hispanics. Half of Black and Hispanic nurses said they were working in health care right before they started their first RN education program.
The New York City population of nurses is much more racially and ethnically diverse than hospital RNs nationwide. Despite this diversity, the recent Hospital Nursing Workforce Survey pointed out a pay gap between the salaries of White and non-White nurses working in and around Manhattan. Regardless of their years of experience, the data indicate that non-Hispanic White RNs make more money than their minority counterparts.
The finding has gotten people talking – and thinking. Some are understandably concerned that racial discrimination is still at work, meting out undue punishments to certain groups. The reality, however, is likely more complex than any simple "black or white" answer.
"This is a jumping off point for more research," said Jean Moore, director of the Center for Health Workforce Studies, which conducted the survey. As an example, she pointed to previous studies showing underrepresented minority physicians and nurse practitioners are more likely to work in primary care or with underserved communities – settings known for being less lucrative. "Minority nurses' decisions not to specialize may be related to a lack of minority faculty members in those areas who can inspire and encourage them on."
The survey also indicated that Black nurses are more likely to be interested in or actively pursuing advanced nursing education. "So we need to think of better ways to help them complete those advanced degrees," said Moore, "and then groom these RNs for the leadership and faculty positions where they are needed."
If you belong to a NYSNA bargaining unit and you suspect you have been a victim of discrimination in your workplace, contact your nursing representative.

| Posted over 4 years ago I'm Talking about SETBACKS. I'M TALKING ABOUT MANAGING ONESELF. Addiction is only in the mind. Number one problem in the Internet is S P E L L I N G, if you are addicted to the Internet you will end up writing a lot in a hurry and making so many mistakes that you think are acceptable and that they are right. The "spell check" does not work on some computers (I suppose). Number two problem is that if you are addicted to Internet you will be sitting on your butt for so many hours that the FAT in your Stomach and you-know-where else can not and will not be disturbed at all. I can go on and on and on. The point is, there are so many addicting things in this world and it's up to you which one you would choose. It's like choose your poison. Temptation is too close to anyone who is so selfish and living in fantasy. It's your fault. It's your choice. Fake or not stop destroying yourself. |

| Posted about 3 years ago There is a lot of internect security software available today so the issue with internet addiction is more like something that is part of our lives. We need to use computers at work and access the internet. For people who work 8 hours/day in front of a computer and use the Internet, having an Internet addiction is not a choice, but actually their job. My opinion is that Internet addiction does not exist, but it is just a side effect of technology development. |
