KENNEWICK, Wash. -- Brothers Jack and Jordan Anderson have a lot in common. They have wrestling in their veins. They both wrestled at Kamiakin High school. Now, they are both wrestling coaches. Jack is the head wrestling coach at Chiawana, and Jordan is the head wrestling coach at his alma mater.
"He followed me up as he was a little boy as I wrestled at Kamiakin. Then I went to college and wrestled, and he would come to my college matches," Jack said.
"He's what got me into wrestling. He was my idol when I was little. I always wanted to be just like him, and then my dad made sure I continued to try and be better than he was," Jordan said.
Jack, ten years Jordan's senior, has been the head coach at Chiawana for three years. Jordan has only been on the job for two months and is in the process of rebuilding the program.
Jack had to start a whole new wrestling team at Chiawana. Jordan, a first year head coach at Kamiakin, said he has learned a lot by watching Jack's success. The two never wrestled against each other, but that does not mean they do not have an opinion of who is better.
"In our prime my brother was a better wrestler then me," Jack said.
"He worked for everything he got where as my success was kind of natural ability," Jordan said.
As Jordan tries to improve Kamiakin, he says he always has his big brother to help him.

-- Additions Mark Continued Growth of Firm Following Recent Acquisition By Clarion Capital Partners --
TARRYTOWN, N.Y., June 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SQAD LLC, the largest independent source in the US for TV, radio and digital cost analysis, announced today the addition of two new sales representatives to the Chicago market. This expansion bolsters the national footprint of SQAD and its other regional sales teams in New York and Los Angeles.
SQAD, which provides media forecasting tools using information based on real ad buys, has added David Perlmutter and Grace Chatterton to oversee sales operations in Chicago and the Midwest. The addition of David and Grace, who will create new business opportunities and maintain current client relationships in the region, come after SQAD recently announced its acquisition by Clarion Capital Partners, LLC and expanded its sales operations in Los Angeles last year.
Mr. Perlmutter joins SQAD as Director, Central Markets Region, and Ms. Chatterton as Market Manager, Central Region. Both will be responsible for promoting SQAD's suite of products while growing the firm's presence in the central region of the United States.

The central region and the Chicago market are important areas of growth for SQAD, and we're extremely confident in their ability to further establish our presence there," said Neil Klar, CEO of SQAD. "We are very excited to add David and Grace to our team and are lucky to have them."
David Perlmutter has an extensive background in both media and systems sales and marketing. He most recently served as director of strategic partner development at Mediaocean's advertising platforms division, MBuy. He has a background in both new and traditional media, having worked for companies such as NCI Mobility, Viacom/CBS Radio and Student Advantage, all of which were based in Chicago.
Grace Chatterton brings a deep knowledge of the Central region to SQAD. She comes to SQAD directly from NPD Group where she served as a manager after creating and building the company's sales department. Earlier, Grace worked at Nielsen Media Research in Chicago, where she was responsible for 11 distinct Midwest markets, working in sales of research and software to TV stations and ad agencies. Grace also worked as senior media buyer at Carat ICG in Chicago before joining Nielsen.

In the previous post on Night of the Living Dead the subject arose in the comment section as to whether or not injecting social commentary or allegory into horror was a good thing. I'm not sure if there was a consensus or not, but I do not one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy/horror shows of all time, The Twilight Zone, injecting allegory and social commentary into at least 50 percent of all episodes that ever aired. And I loved it anyway.
Rod Serling wrote what he thought would be the pilot episode for The Twilight Zone in 1957 and sold it to CBS Studios. It was titled The Time Element and told the story of a man who keeps waking up in Honolulu on the morning of December 7th, 1941. He tries to warn everyone but it never works. CBS didn't like it and shelved it. A year later it was discovered by producer Bert Granet who put it on his show, The Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse (too many "houses" in that title) and it was a hit. A year after that, The Twilight Zone began in earnest.
Some years ago there was an excellent American Masters episode on Rod Serling, shot in black and white, and bookended by Twilight Zone motifs in which Serling is rushed to the hospital on that fateful day of June 28, 1975, when his four pack a day smoking habit finally did him in. It revealed that Serling started The Twilight Zone because he was tired of every political or social statement he injected into his dramas being censored out. He knew if he made the same points with monsters, aliens and time travellers, no one would care enough at the network to censor them. He was right.
The funny thing is, most people's favorite episodes, including mine, having nothing whatsoever to do with social commentary, and everything to do with extremely cool twist endings. For instance, in that American Masters episode they break down Eye of the Beholder, the famous episode (aren't they all) where a woman is having her bandages removed after plastic surgery. No one, not even the doctors and nurses, is seen until the bandages come off. Now, after this happens, and she is revealed to look "normal" to us, and the hospital staff bizarre pig-face people, she runs down the hall and we see monitors with a pig-man version of Hitler yelling and screaming about conformity. American Masters goes on about how the episode is an indictment of conformity and Fascism and makes a bold statement and blah, blah, blah. No disrespect to Serling or The Twilight Zone but does anyone care? I sure don't. I just want to see those pig-doctors at the end. And condemning Fascism in a post World War II universe isn't exactly going out on a ledge or anything.
So The Twilight Zone never appealed to me as a Great Educator on all that was right and wrong in the world. But as a fan of sci-fi, fantasy and horror, it appealed to me greatly. Surprisingly, given the fact that most all of the episodes have a twist ending, they're still enjoyable to watch the second or third time around. There's usually a marathon every year on the Sci-Fi Channel and all the seasons are readily available on DVD. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Boris Karloff's Thriller, but that's another story. I'll leave you with some of my favorite episodes:
Time Enough at Last: That would be the one in my banner up above. Burgess Meredith survives a nuclear explosion and with everyone dead can now spend all his time reading. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
The Man in the Bottle: A pawnbroker gets free wishes from a Genie. Nothing ever goes wrong with wishes from Genie. Ever.
The Howling Man: A man hiking across Europe takes shelter in a monastery where a man is imprisoned. The man tells the hiker that the monks are crazy. The monks tell him he's the Devil. Nah, couldn't be.
The Invaders: Agnes Moorehead taking on little doll size aliens at her farmhouse. They are aliens right?
The Odyssey of Flight 33: A plane keeps going through time portals taking in and out of history. Will it ever get back home?
The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank: A man rises from his coffin at his funeral. Did a demon take control of his corpse? Nah, he was probably just sleeping.
To Serve Man: Uh, the title of this post.
Little Girl Lost: Poltergeist doesn't exist without this episode.
The Little People: Astronauts land on a planet of tiny little people and one of them decides to become their "God." I can't imagine anything going wrong with that plan.
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet: How could I not include this one?
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge: Originally produced as a short film it was sold to and used by The Twilight Zone.
Stopover in a Quiet Town: A hungover couple wake up in a strange town. And they're the only ones there. I'm sure there's just a picnic going on somewhere that they're missing.
And there are loads more because I love so many of them. Now if only Boris Karloff's Thriller would get released on DVD I'd be happy. Momentarily at least.

Who will get Facebook's IPO shares?
By REUTERS
05/18/2012 11:10
Fairness does not come into the picture as loyal Facebook fans and occasional investors are discovering that the upcoming Facebook IPO will favor big brokerage accounts.

The scramble for shares in what is one of largest initial public offerings in US history quickly divided the haves from the have-nots on Thursday. Those with big brokerage accounts and a long history as customers of Wall Street firms likely got at least part of their orders for Facebook shares filled, but would-be buyers who had no such ties were lucky to get any.
At stake may well be the chance to cash in on a big pop in the shares - some in the market expect a gain of 50 percent or more - when they start trading on Friday.
"This is worse than not scoring an invitation to the best party in high school," said Fran Carpentier, 57, a publishing and marketing consultant in New York City who wanted to get in on the social media company's IPO but could not figure out how.
Facebook raised about $16 billion on Thursday by selling roughly 421 million shares at $38 each. That is approximately half a share for each of its 900 million active monthly users.
It may end up raising even more, bringing the total to $18.4 billion, if an option for underwriters is exercised.
Demand for the long-awaited deal has been surging, helped by wall-to-wall media coverage. Orders for Facebook shares outweigh the supply by a ratio of more than 20 to 1, according to traders' estimates.
Aside from wanting the cachet of owning the next big thing, investors are eager to buy something that may deliver big, even astronomical returns -- a rare opportunity in today's low-yield and turbulent markets. IPOs often offer an early pop, even if the shares stumble later, and Facebook is seen initially climbing further than most.
IPO may still not be nearly enough to meet demand
Facebook and underwriters, as usual, kept mum about overall demand ahead of the IPO. Facebook, which will trade under the ticker FB, did not return calls for comment.
There have been growing expectations in the market that small investors, as opposed to big pension and mutual fund managers, have snapped up as much as 30 percent of the deal. That's a bigger chunk than the 10 percent to 15 percent that is typically allocated to retail investors. It is a result of efforts by Facebook executives to make shares are available to more users.
Underwriters are accommodating Facebook's wishes and there were signs late on Thursday that they were releasing more shares to individual investors than previously expected.
For example, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, which is the brokerage arm of one of the lead underwriters, Morgan Stanley, emailed its wealth advisers late on Thursday afternoon to say that it had raised the cap for individual investors to 5,000 shares, from an initial 500 shares, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"Retail got a lot more than I thought they did," said Scott Sweet, senior managing partner of research firm IPO Boutique. "I don't know what the final split was, but some of the retail clients who called me today were getting 15,000 or 20,000 shares."
But the allocation may still not be nearly enough to meet demand. And even Sweet, who has been a client of Morgan Stanley for 15 years, hadn't heard by late Thursday exactly how many shares he was going to get - he had earlier been told he would get less than 500.
That puts financial advisers and brokerage houses in the uncomfortable position of not having enough shares to satisfy Main Street investors clamoring to be a part of the hottest IPO since Google's 2004 debut.
One of those investors is Mary Furlong, who runs a marketing firm for baby boomers in Lafayette, California. "I want to buy shares. I missed the Google opening," she says, but did not end up getting hold of any shares.
Google, whose founders made "Don't be evil" a core principle, in 2004 issued its stock through a more transparent process known as a modified Dutch auction. Underwriters gathered bids from investors regardless of their connections or size of their portfolios.
That created more of a level playing field for potential investors. Google's shares were priced at $85, climbed to $100 on Day 1 and are now trading at about $623.
Facebook is selling its shares through a traditional Wall Street IPO, a more subjective process, one managed by investment bankers.
"The deal is probably not 'fair,' but there's no way it can be," said Bruce Foerster, owner of South Beach Capital Markets and former head of global equity syndicate at Lehman Brothers. "If you don't have ties to Facebook management, if you don't have accounts and an investment history with firms that are co-managing the deal, why should you get any stock?"
Firms try to manage client expectations Facebook IPO
Mindful that customers would be frustrated, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney early on distributed a script to its brokers on how to handle requests from clients, said one veteran broker.
"The minute someone says 'Facebook,' we're supposed to say, 'Yes, we're the lead, but we can't talk about it,'" the broker said. "I heard from three or four clients, and I told them there is no way I'll be able to get them shares because I haven't done IPO business in years."
Other brokerages are in the same boat. Bank of America's Merrill Lynch brokerage is limiting retail clients to a maximum 2,000 shares per account, according to brokers at the firm.
Wells Fargo Advisors, the brokerage arm of Wells Fargo & Co, has a scoring system for allocating shares among its more than 15,000 brokers. It weighs brokers' annual revenue production, how much IPO work they do and how long their clients held positions in prior IPOs, according to one Wells Fargo broker.
Then, in turn, brokers score their clients based on assets with the firm, how much they have traded in the past, and how long they've held onto previous allocations of shares in IPOs.
"I can't just get Facebook shares for my buddy," said one Wells Fargo adviser, who declined to be named because he is not permitted to speak to the press.
At Fidelity, the funds and brokerage giant, Facebook shares will be reserved only for clients with at least $500,000 in assets, excluding 401(k) plans, or those who make at least 36 trades a year with the firm, according to Fidelity spokesman Stephen Austin.
Loyalty helps: Fidelity customers who have being doing business with the firm for the longest periods get higher priority in the IPO food chain.
While excluded investors may feel spurned, there's nothing illegal about banks selling shares to their best customers. Whether it is fair to everyone is another question.
"People have argued that it leaves other investors out, especially for hot IPOs, where in the after-market the prices are likely to be much higher," said Jill Fisch, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Maurice Costello, a former broker who works as an accountant in the Boston area, says he has ordered Facebook at $37 a share through his E*Trade account. But he has no idea how many shares he might ultimately receive.
The online brokerage, which typically caters to small investors, is one of 33 firms named by Facebook to distribute its newly issued shares. E*Trade would not comment on the Facebook IPO.
For some investors, buying into the IPO doesn't necessarily mean holding on to the stock. Richard Laermer, who is CEO of social network ThankBank, is clamoring to get Facebook shares and flip, or sell them, at a profit.
"I am going to do what I did with LinkedIn, Groupon, Google, Research In Motion, AOL, Netscape, Dunkin Donuts... plus a host of 90s stocks that I can't even recall," Laermer wrote in an email to Reuters. "Buy on Day One, sell on Day Three. It never fails."

The Portland Workforce Alliance (PWA) is an independent, nonprofit organization that was created in 2005. The goals of the Portland Workforce Alliance are to:
Help provide the region with a skilled workforce.
Develop experiences ( career days, internships, mentorship programs,etc.) for high school students that help to motivate them to succeed academically and continue their education after high school.
Many studies conclude that students are far more likely to stay in school and graduate if they see the relevance of their education and have a relationship with a caring adult.
Only sixty-three percent (63%) of Portland Public Schools students who entered ninth grade in 2008 went on to graduate on time.
PPS estimates that only 25% of their students who graduate from high school obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree within five (5) years.
For the first time in history, the current generation of college-age Americans will be less educated than their parents' generation unless college completion rates improve.
Two recent studies conclude that relevance is a critical factor in student success and in helping students transition to the next level:
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation -- Excerpt from the Executive Summary:
"While most dropouts blame themselves for failing to graduate, there are things that they say schools can do to help them finish: Four out of five students (81%) said that there should be more opportunities for real world learning and some in the focus groups called for more experiential learning. They said students need to see the connection between school and getting a good job."
" Academic preparation is necessary but not sufficient, however, in helping low-income students enroll in and graduate from college. Expectations about college attendance are important with one in particular standing out: a student's expectation that a college degree will be essential to pursue his or her desired career. Students who make this connection are six times more likely to earn their degree than those who did not."

CATEGORIES Comedy, Casting, CinematicalCher hasn't been seen on the big screen since her brilliantly self-effacing cameo as herself in the underrated Stuck On You. This is a shame, because despite being the butt of many jokes, Cher is actually kind of awesome. She just has that intangible aura of cool -- which may seem like a strange thing to say about someone who dresses like this, but what are you gonna do. The rumors that Cher was going to play Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's third Batman film were stupid as a factual matter, but it was by no means a bad idea.
Well, Cher is finally returning to the big screen, co-starring, for better or worse, with Johnny Knoxville -- which has already prompted the ever-so-clever staff at The Hollywood Reporter to ask if you've heard "the one about the Cougar and the Jackass." (No, I haven't -- what's the one about the Cougar and the Jackass?) If the movie -- called Drop-Out -- goes into production any time soon, Cher will actually be playing right at her age, as a 62-year old woman who takes in a lazy, unemployed couch potato played by Knoxville. The movie will be written and directed by Ricky Blitt, who wrote Knoxville's The Ringer. Which was awful. Then again, it suffered from a distinct lack of Cher.
So yeah: Cher's back, bitches! Spread the word.
(P.S. Everyone's at Sundance, and I'm bored.)

Now, she's on the road promoting new recipes and hosting a free "Diabetes in a New Light" cooking demonstration.
WWL-TV was lucky enough to have her in our kitchen.
Deen will have her cooking tips to share with you at her free cooking demonstration on Tuesday from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. at the Morial Convention Center for the National Medical Association Convention.

For anyone who's not seen The Hangover – where have you been? This is easily one of the laugh-out-loud funniest films for years. Starring Bradley Cooper (A-Team), Zack Galifianakis and Justin Bartha as three friends who take their buddy to Las Vegas for his stag weekend and wake up the following morning without any recollection of the evening's events. Without their Stag. With a baby in the room. And a tiger.
After waking up in the hotel room with no memory as to what happened, the trio go in search of their Stag buddy and also to find out what happened. Retracing their steps through Las Vegas casino's and bars while Alan (Zach Galifianakis), the Bride's slightly stupid brother carries around the baby, naming him Carlos, and comes out with some of the funniest moments we've seen in a long time from one film.
Thankfully The Hangover is not at all a "lads film" and will appeal to almost everyone. The many cameo's of famous faces from Heather Graham to Mike Tyson to the brilliant Ken Jeong as Chinese gambler and wannabe gangster, Mr Chow, are as welcome as they are funny. The Hangover has also won a number of awards from Critics Choice Award for Best Comedy Movie to a Golden Globe for Best Comedy Motion Picture from 2010.
From start to finish there are so many memorable moments that The Hangover cannot fail to be watched again and make so many people's top 10 comedy films. From subtle humour that will catch you off guard, to in-your-face-funny that will have you in stitches, The Hangover is without doubt in PlayEject's elite 5-star category.
With The Hangover 2 set to be released in May 2011, we can't wait for more antics from Alan, Phil, Stu and Doug!

Exercise #5: Incorporate Taste Into A Visual and Auditory Scene
Sit down in a quiet room in a chair where you will not be disturbed. Close your eyes. Imagine yourself in a bakery or other food establishment. Use visualization to see the scene, as well as using auditory imagination to hear the visitors. Incorporate a random food item into the scene. Repeat what was done in exercise four, while also holding a visualization in both the visual and auditory sense.
Do this exercise until you can imagine a taste/sound/scene for 30 seconds with no breaks. Remember to note your progress in your journal.

"Don't Become a Victim"
Most of us have had something stolen before. Whether something expensive or inexpensive it gives us a sick feeling inside and makes us angry. That overwhelming feeling of vulnerability and the question of, why did someone do this, haunts us. Often times we look back at the situation and say to ourselves, "If I would have only done this or that" but, now it's too late and our property is gone, our lives are disrupted and we're left with that sick feeling.
What can we do to prevent this from happening? The type of criminal that we should all be aware of is the "Opportunist Criminal". The name alone describes what this criminal is looking for, an opportunity. An opportunity to take our property and benefit from it without getting caught. This criminal is easy to defeat by just doing something very simple, taking the opportunity away. Simple things like locking the doors to your car and not leaving property out in plain view takes the opportunity away. Something as simple as loose change in your center console could entice an opportunist criminal to break into your car. Listed below are some tips that could lessen your chances here at school of becoming a victim of the Opportunist Criminal.
Don't be the one that said "If I would have only done this or that." Protect your property and sanity by not creating an opportunity for the Opportunist Criminal.

Pam Henslee, the business technology teacher and FBLA sponsor at Curry High, said club members collected more than $600 that will be given to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help further its research in searching for a cure. Henslee and members didn't necessarily choose this particular foundation at random, however.
Curry Elementary School student Shawn Anthony was diagnosed as an infant with cystic fibrosis, which is a genetic disease that Children's of Alabama defines as a "life-threatening disease that causes mucus to build up and clog some of the organs in the body, particularly in the lungs and pancreas. When mucus clogs the lungs, it can make breathing very difficult."
Henslee said the foundation contacted the school last year, asking if Curry High had a club that would be interested in holding fundraisers to help with donations for CF.
"My FBLA club got together and designed a T-shirt and sold them. We had a picture made last year, but Shawn was in the hospital and couldn't be in our picture," Henslee said. "So, this year we just continued on, and we're going to try to make it a tradition to sell and raise money for cystic fibrosis every year."
The club, which consists of 21 members ranging in age from ninth through twelfth grade, sold 60 shirts for $20 each to students, faculty and staff at Curry schools and residents within the community.
Anthony, whose grandmother works at Curry High School, posed for a picture Tuesday morning with faculty and students who purchased a shirt. The T-shirts are purple and yellow with the phrase "Help Shawn Kick Cystic Fibrosis." Even though Anthony has lived with this disease his entire life, one wouldn't notice by simply looking at his physical appearance and energetic behavior.
Approximately 30,000 people in the United States have CF. Some symptoms of the disease may include: poor weight gain, very salty-tasting skin, constant coughing/wheezing or shortness of breath, and several lung infections and nasal polyps.
When Anthony walked into the high school Tuesday, every person he came in contact with couldn't help but smile and speak with him. He enjoys baseball, football, basketball, swimming and other activities kids his age are involved in. The only difference is when he's sick and can't take part in those sports.
"Shawn is like part of our family. With his grandmother [and grandfather], Jennifer McNair and Chuck McNair, raising him, they're part of our school family, and it's something that we could do to help him," Henslee said.

A poor diagnosis over Alzheimer's in Sussex
11:20am Thursday 17th January 2013 in News By Siobhan Ryan, Health reporter
Almost two thirds of people living with Alzheimer's in Sussex have not been diagnosed.
There are more than 24,400 residents across the county believed to have the condition, but 60 per cent of them have never been told.
It means thousands of people are not getting access to the vital treatment they need to help control the progress of their illness.
New figures published by the Alzheimer's Society reveal the number of people with dementia is expected to rise throughout Sussex to more than 33,700 over the next eight years.
This is partly because of the large number of elderly people in the county, and is expected to place more pressure on NHS and council services.
Officials estimate there are 3,098 people with Alzheimer's in Brighton and Hove alone, but just 37 per cent of them have been diagnosed.
The number of cases is expected to rise to 3,340 by 2021.
East Sussex Downs and Weald has 6,736 people with the condition and a diagnosis rate of 38 per cent while Hastings and Rother has 3,485 with 44 per cent diagnosed.
More can be done In West Sussex, there are 13,887 people with dementia and 39 per cent have been diagnosed.
Jeremy Hughes, from the Alzheimer's Society, said: "It's disgraceful that more than half of all people with dementia are not receiving a diagnosis.
"Studies show that an early diagnosis can save the taxpayer thousands of pounds, because it can delay someone needing care outside of their own home.
"The NHS has already made a commitment to improving diagnosis rates but more needs to be done to ensure people with dementia are able to live as well as possible with the disease."
A spokesman for NHS Sussex said: "We are working closely with health and social care professionals to develop the services available to support early diagnosis and ongoing care and treatment for people with dementia and their families and carers.
"As part of this, memory assessment services are being introduced across Sussex, and these will help to increase the number of people who receive a formal dementia diagnosis.
"Significant funding has also been awarded to specific projects in the county from the Prime Minister's Dementia Challenge Fund to improve the services and support available for people with dementia and their carers."

If you're married then social services may put a charging order on your property - so whoever is left still living in the house, can continue to do so when one person goes in a home - a charging order means when the house is sold the charging order is paid first, so all the care home fees are paid first.
Care homes are extremely expensive - my mum went into one 4 years ago. At first it was £425 per week, it's now £625 per week! The people who own these are making £millions and it is a national disgrace. I can honestly say that I would never want to go in a care home and would def commit suicide before having to go in one, having seen what goes on inside one.

When I realise that my time of living independently are coming to a close I will definitely consider ending things. I'd sooner that then live at the mercy of others.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Junior righthander Michael Trionfo and sophomore righthander Chris Acker teamed up for a seven-hitter as they outdueled senior righthander Matt Davenport to lift the Tigers (13-12, 7-3) to a 2-1 Colonial Athletic Association victory over William and Mary (17-11, 5-5) in the opening game of their three-game weekend series at Plumeri Park on Friday evening.
With the win, the Tigers improved upon their best-ever CAA start as they won for the seventh time in ten CAA games. The Tigers also maintained their second place standing in the CAA, one game behind CAA-leading UNC Wilmington (13-12, 8-2).
Trionfo, who earned his CAA-leading fifth win of the season, pitched six shutout innings against the Tribe. In six innings, he allowed four hits, walked three and struck five. In his last three starts, Trionfo has won three games in a row. He has pitched 19.2 innings in those three starts and has a 0.46 E.R.A.
Acker gave up one run on three hits in three innings of work as he earned his second save of the season.
The CAA leader in E.R.A., Davenport pitched 8.1 innings. He allowed two runs on five hits with one walk and eight strikeouts.
For the Tigers, sophomore Pat Fitzgerald led off the game by reaching base when he was hit by a pitch. Fitzgerald advanced to second base on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore rightfielder Brandon Gonnella. (right) But, Davenport stranded Fitzgerald at second when sophomore Dominic Fratantuono lined out to first base and freshman Brendan Butler struck out.
In the bottom of the second inning, the Tribe loaded the bases with two outs. First baseman Michael Katz opened the inning with an infield hit. After Trionfo retired the next two hitters, rightfielder Josh Smith singled and shortstop Ryan Williams drew a walk. But, Trionfo pitched out of the jam by retiring senior catcher Chris Forsten on a popup to shortstop.
Davenport took a no-hitter into the fourth inning. But, he lost his no-hitter and his shutout in the fourth. Gonnella led off the inning with a double down the rightfield line. On the next pitch, Fratantuono gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead when he doubled to right centerfield. Butler kept the rally going when he was hit by a pitch.
With two runners on base and no outs, Davenport got tougher. He struck out sophomore leftfielder Kurt Wertz on a 3-2 pitch for the first out. Then, he whiffed junior catcher Andrew Parker on a 3-2 pitch as Fratantuono and Butler pulled off a double steal. With two runners in scoring position, Davenport pitched out of the jam by striking out junior third baseman Zach Fisher on another 3-2 pitch.
When senior centerfielder Ben Winter and sophomore shortstop Hunter Bennett struck out in the fifth inning, Davenport had struck out five hitters in a row. Fitzgerald lined out to second base for the third out of the fifth inning.
In the bottom of the fifth, second baseman Kevin Nutter singled for the Tribe with two outs. After he stole second base, Trionfo retired centerfielder Ryan Brown on a ground ball to third base.
Both Davenport and Trionfo retired the side in order in the sixth inning.
With one out in the top of the seventh, Parker doubled to right, only the Tigers' third hit of the game. But, Davenport pitched out of the jam when Fisher bunted Parker to third and Winter lined out to centerfield.
Trionfo was relieved by Acker in the bottom of the seventh inning. Leftfielder Stephen Arcure greeted Acker with a single to centerfield. After Smith struck out, Arcure tried to steal second base but Parker threw him out, the third Tribe base runner who was out trying to steal. Williams grounded out to end the inning.
In the top of the eighth, the Tigers tried to add an insurance run. With one out, Fitzgerald doubled down the right field line. After Gonnella grounded out to shortstop, Davenport issued an intentional walk to Fratantuono. The strategy paid off when Butler grounded into a force play, retiring the side.
After Acker retired the Tribe in order in the eighth inning, Wertz led off the ninth inning with the Tigers' fifth hit of the game and their fifth double. After Parker bunted him over, Davenport was relieved by senior lefthander Cole Shain.
Fisher drove home the Tigers' second run of the game when he hit a sacrifice fly to right as Wertz scored to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.
The Tribe threatened to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth. Designated hitter Tedd Bower drew a leadoff walk. Bower advanced to second base when Katz was retired on a deep fly ball to left. Pinch hitter Jackson Shaver recorded the second out when he popped to left field for the second out.
Arcure broke up the shutout when he lined an RBI single to centerfield, cutting the lead to 2-1. When Smith also singled, the Tribe had the winning runs on base.
But, Acker struck out Williams to end the game.
The Tribe outhit the Tigers by a 7-5 margin.
Towson and William and Mary will play the second game of their series on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.

The Walnut Valley Unified School District will start taking applications for its District of Choice Lottery Program for non-residents on Nov. 1.
The application period will go through Dec. 31 for transitional kindergarten through 12th grade.
The district is touting its recent 906 API score as one of the reasons to consider applying.
Students who live in the Rowland Unified School District are ineligible to apply for the District of Choice program.
The exclusion is the result of a lawsuit Walnut Valley Unified and Rowland Unified settled in early 2011. Walnut Valley was ordered in January 2011 to stop accepting students within Rowland's boundaries and pay Rowland $100,000 in legal fees.
Walnut Valley appealed but dropped the matter as part of a settlement the school board approved in May of last year that added $58,000 in legal fees to what the district had to pay Rowland Unified.
Applications will be available to fill out, print and mail on the district's website at www.wvusd.k12.ca.us. Each child must have his or her own application.

The district office will be closed for winter break starting Dec. 20.
All applications must be received at the District Office (or postmarked) no later than Dec. 31. Duplicate, incomplete or applications received after the deadline will not be processed.
If space is limited, a lottery drawing will take place at the last Board of Education meeting in January.

Dinner came in luscious waves. First, a delicate spoonful of ice-wine-infused, smoked salmon, then a scallop ravioli covered gently with champagne cream sauce, then strips of roast pork marinated in Tahitian vanilla, garlic and sage. And finally, the most amazing ice cream made with sour cream and fig-wine sauce. All this paired with the best wines interior British Columbia has to offer.
And every mouthwatering bite, every tongue-tantalizing drop was absolutely guilt-free, because we had spent half that day up to our knees in fresh powder, skiing our legs into rubbery submission on the slopes of Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia (250-578-5399, sunpeaksresort.com).
All those yummy calories — poof! Gone. That's the wonderful thing about attending a wine festival at a ski resort. You can eat, drink and be very, very merry without an ounce of remorse.
But a wine festival in mid-January? With all that snow? Well, yes. When better to celebrate, among other things, a wine made out of frozen grapes?
You've probably heard of ice wine. But the truth is, though the concept of ice wine is centuries old, the popularity of it is relatively new. We're talking less than two decades, which in wine epochs is like the snap of a finger.
Ice wine is a dessert wine. But its beauty is in its light taste. It's not syrupy, as so many alcoholic dessert drinks can be. And, yes, it's expensive. But there's a reason.
We arrived at Sun Peaks in mid-January as wine neophytes. Wine festivals can be somewhat snobbish affairs, with folks decanting this and slurping that and talking in an utterly foreign language where nose has nothing to do with your face.
"That's OK," said Sandra Oldfield of the Okanagan Valley's Tinhorn Creek Vineyards, who was filling us in on the finer points of wine lore at the Sun Peaks Winter Okanagan Wine Festival. "I'm going to assume some of you are totally new to a wine festival."
She then launched into a bit of history on ice wines.
Stories say that ice wine was discovered accidentally in Germany in 1794 by a farmer trying to save his grape harvest after a sudden frost. But it wasn't made commercially even in Europe until the 1960s. And it stayed below the radar in North America.
Then, in the 1980s, vineyards in both the Niagara region of Ontario and British Columbia's Okanagan Valley realized they had the perfect conditions for ice wine. You need good wine grapes, of course, but you also need frost at just the right time. What makes the stuff so expensive is the risk factor plus the labor.
A vineyard has to set aside part of its crop and not pick it during the usual harvest. These grapes sit, waiting for the temps to dip below 15 degrees so they look like little glass marbles. If that doesn't happen before the grapes rot, or if the temperature rises during the harvest, the whole crop is lost.
If the frost comes on time, the frozen grapes are handpicked and pressed immediately. The frozen water gets left behind, and what comes out of the press is a tiny drop of liquid saturated with sugar.
It takes about 7 pounds of grapes to make one 375 milliliter (13 ounce) bottle of ice wine. That same amount of grapes would produce more than a quart of table wine.
The result is a gold-colored wine that is sweet yet light. And not cheap. A typical 375 mL bottle goes for $50 to $120.
After a morning of exquisite skiing the next day, we did two more wine seminars, and Yvette learned how to drink red wine. Finally.
The table at the first seminar held a dish with tiny piles of salt and sugar along with a lemon wedge.
"Taste the wine. Then taste the salt and sip the wine again," said winemaker Eric Von Krosigk of Hester Creek Estate Winery, also in the Okanagan Valley. "Then do the sugar and the lemon."
Wow, that was unexpected! The salt made red wine taste almost sweet. The sugar made the tannin shrivel our tongues. The lemon turned it almost into a dessert wine.
"What you pair wine with makes all the difference," we were told.

Dr. Bowen tackles mysteries of MS in Scientific American MIND
The last 20 years have held significant gains for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Thanks to new studies and a full pipeline of those to come, our understanding of the disease and promises for future remedies grows rapidly.
Dr. James Bowen, Medical Director and neurologist at the MS Center at Swedish, wrote an article on this progress n Scientific American MIND. "Solving the Mystery of MS" unpacks the history of MS treatments, from breakthrough treatments to rethinking the disease origin, and offers a comprehensive view of what we know now as well as what lays ahead.
MS Research Update: Birth month may affect your risk for multiple sclerosis
There are many studies that show that the risks for getting multiple sclerosis (MS) vary according to the month a person is born. However, the differences between the months of birth are slight.
For example, a 2005 study of people with MS living in northern latitudes found that more people (9.1%) had a birthday in May and significantly less (8.5%) were born in November. The opposite pattern is seen in the southern hemisphere. Thus, worldwide there is a slight increase in MS risk in those born in the spring and a decrease in those born in the winter.
The cause of this has not been determined. Some ideas include differences in:
Vitamin intake during pregnancy (more folate in fresh vegetables in the spring, more vitamin D from sunlight in the summer)
- Birth weight - Heavier babies born after summer and fall pregnancies
- Exposure to viruses - More people experience viruses in spring and fall. This may affect the not only the viruses a baby is exposed to during pregnancy, but also after birth.
A recent article in JAMA Neurology describes ...
MS Research Update: How reliable are biomarkers measured by multiple providers?
Mobility issues secondary to strength, balance, and walking problems affect up to 80 percent of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Providers and therapists use a variety of scales and tools to measure the extent of these issues such as:
- The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a measure of balance that uses a 14-item scale and is scored based upon the results 0-56.
- The 6-minute walk (6MW) is a measure of walking endurance.
- Handheld Dynamometry (HHD) is a way to quantify manual muscle strength testing.
There is a lot of emerging research about "MS biomarkers," which are values that look for ways to predict how patients will do in the future. The above tests are "physical biomarkers" of patient performance that may be able to be used as measures of disease state and change over time.
Often patients and clinicians are left wondering how accurate the results of these tests are. For instance, if provider A performs a functional test on a patient, will provider B get the same results if administering the same test to the same patient?
Multiple Sclerosis Center Celebrates First Anniversary
One year ago today, the first patients visited the brand new Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Center at Swedish Neuroscience Institute. The 11,700-square-foot facility was designed around the patient experience as part of the MS Center's commitment to treating the whole person and addressing each patient's individual emotional, psychological, social and physical needs in a supportive environment.
Since we opened our doors on April 9, 2012, we've hit a few new milestones:
More than 5,400 total patients, including 620 new faces, from around the world received care from our comprehensive treatment team in the last 12 months.
We welcomed three new providers: neurologist Peiqing Qian, M.D.; physical therapist Kim Kobata, PT; and neuro-psychiatrist Lina Fine, M.D., M.Phil.
We completed the Pigott Terrace. The 1,500-square-foot outdoor therapy terrace includes a one-of-a-kind system that enables patients to ...
New medication for MS, Tecfidera (BG-12), Approved by FDA
On March 27, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the newest treatment in the increasing number of disease modifying therapies (DMTs) available to treat multiple sclerosis. Tecfidera (BG-12) is an oral capsule to treat adults with relapsing forms of MS. Research participants at the MS Center at Swedish participated in clinical trials for Tecfidera.
The trials reported that people taking Tecfidera had fewer relapses and less frequent worsening of disability compared to people taking a placebo. There were also fewer and less-severe side effects with Tecfidera than other treatments.
The studies found that ...
Stride with Swedish April 14 for Multiple Sclerosis
Every hour, someone is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). And every day, people from around the Pacific Northwest and United States visit the MS Center at Swedish to learn how to live well with the disease.
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the nervous system that affects the brain, eyes and spinal cord that takes a unique course in every patient. We're with people on their journey, whether they are newly diagnosed or have been living with MS for decades. Patients and families share their lives with our treatment team and, in turn, we put our passion into helping them achieve their highest wellbeing.
Participating in Walk MS one way we show our commitment to caring for the MS community.

With it being the holiday season chances are a lot folks have packed on a few extra pounds courtesy of cookies, candy, and a handful of massive family-style meals. To keep you looking slim and fit – "Rushfit" that is – it's time to turn to one of the most conditioned athletes in MMA.
In this MMATraining Technique of the Day, UFC welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre demonstrates an easy-to-do workout exercise known as the "break fall to hip heist". While it alone will not be enough to get you in GSP-level shape it will at least help keep your midsection from resembling one of a certain jolly old elf who likes sliding down chimneys around this time of year.
[...] the fight would end up getting canceled. Unfortunately we're already off to a bad start with Georges St. Pierre being out for over half the year and guys dropping like flies on UFC 142. I guess St. Dana [...]

The hottest part of the week is yet to come in central North Carolina, but cooler weather arrives this weekend.
Thursday was only the third day this month that the Triangle made it into the 90s and it was the hottest day so far this month. The high in the Triangle was 91 while Fayetteville made it up 95. The heat index was much warmer than that with the Triangle seeing feels like numbers of 96 and Fayetteville hitting 100.
Overnight will be warm and muggy with a chance of some showers and storms moving through. The morning low Friday morning will be 71.
Check out Futurecast and see exactly what North Carolina weather will be like in the next 24 hours
Saturday will see a better chance of rain with highs dropping into the upper 80s with more clouds around.
By Sunday, clouds will give way to some sun and our flow will switch to the northeast which will bring in cooler temperatures. So with clearing skies look for highs around 83 on Sunday.

Redskins Celebrate Goal No. 1 On TwitterPosted by on December 31, 2012 – 4:01 am
The Washington Redskins' Goal No. 1 is accomplished.
The team claimed its first NFC East title late since 1999 Sunday night with its 28-18 win over the Dallas Cowboys. When they got back into their locker room, they found their NFC East Division Champions hats waiting for them.
But, as head coach Mike Shanahan has reiterated the past few weeks, only one team is happy at the end of the season. A divisional title off the heels of seven straight wins is nice, but it won't mean anything if it doesn't translate into a Super Bowl ring at season's end.
For early this morning and into the day, however, the Redskins can celebrate their victory over the Cowboys. Then it's on to the Seattle Seahawks, the Redskins' opponent in Sunday's playoff matchup at FedExField.
Here's a collection of the Redskins players celebrating Sunday night's win via Twitter:

Minor in Speech Communication
A minor in speech communication will aid students in exploring the various skills and practices of communication such as interpersonal and group discussion. The minor requires students to take 18 credits in communication studies. An advantage of the Department of Communication's minor in speech communication is the flexibility it allows students in choosing their required courses for the minor. Students are able to pick from a variety of courses within communication studies ranging from group discussion to cross cultural communication to communication and gender. Courses such as small group decision making trains students to be able to assist in making group decisions. Other courses such as nonverbal communication increases student awareness in the areas of nonverbal communication. Upon completion of the minor in speech communication, students will have gained the knowledge needed to enhance their communication skills.
