Not that it had anything to do with his loss to Mauricio Rua last night (Aug. 27, 2011) at UFC 134, but Forrest Griffin had to be rushed home to Las Vegas shortly after the conclusion of the event so he could be with his wife, who was giving birth to their child.

It all starts when Nick asks Norah to be his girlfriend for five minutes. He only needs five minutes to avoid his ex-girlfriend, who's just walked in to his band's show. With a new guy. And then, with one kiss, Nick and Norah are off on an adventure set against the backdrop of New York City--and smack in the middle of all the joy, anxiety, confusion, and excitement of a first date.
This he said/she said romance told by YA stars Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is a sexy, funny roller coaster of a story about one date over one very long night, with two teenagers, both recovering from broken hearts, who are just trying to figure out who they want to be--and where the next great band is playing.
Told in alternating chapters, teeming with music references, humor, angst, and endearing side characters, this is a love story you'll wish were your very own. Working together for the first time, Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have combined forces to create a book that is sure to grab readers of all ages and never let them go.
From the Hardcover edition.
Chapter One
I find Dev at the bar, talking to a guy our age who looks familiar in that Type kind of way. When I get to where they're standing, I'm introduced as "the bass god, Nick," and he's introduced as "Hunter from Hunter." Dev thanks me for being equipment bitch, and from the way the conversation doesn't continue from there I know I'm interrupting. If it was Thom, my agitation would probably be noticed. But Dev needs you to spell emotions out for him, and right now I'm not in the mood. So I just tell him where I left the stuff and pretend I'm going off to search for a clear spot on the bar to summon the bartender from. And once I'm pretending that's the truth, I figure it might as well be the truth. I still can't see Tris, and there's a small part of me that's wondering if it was even her in the crowd. Maybe it was someone who looked like Tris, which would explain the guy who didn't look like anybody.
Are You Randy? stop playing their instruments one by one, until the lead singer croons a final, a cappella note. I wish for their sake I could say the club falls into silence at this, but in truth the air is one-half conversation. Still, that's better than average, and the band gets a lunge of applause and cheers. I clap, too, and notice that the girl next to me puts two fingers in her mouth to whistle old-fashioned style. The sound is clear and spirited, and makes me think of Little League. The girl is dressed in a flannel shirt, and I can't tell whether that's because she's trying to bring back the only fashion style of the past fifty years that hasn't been brought back or whether it's because the shirt is as damn comfortable as it looks. She has very pale skin and a haircut that reads private school even though she's messed it up to try to hide it. The next band opened for Le Tigre on their last tour, and I figure this girl's here to see them. If I was a different kind of guy, I might try to strike up a friendly conversation, just to be friends. But I feel that if I talk to someone else right now, all I'll be able to do is unload.
Thom and Scot would probably be ready to go if I wanted them to, but I'm pretty sure Dev hasn't figured out yet whether he's coming back with us or not, and I'd be an asshole to put him on the spot and ask. So I'm stuck and I know it, and that's when I look to my right and see Tris and her new guy approaching the beer-spilled bar to order another round of whatever I'm not having. It's definitely her, and I'm definitely fucked, because the between-band rush is pressing toward me now and if I try to leave, I'll have to push my way out, and if I have to push my way out, she'll see me making an escape and she'll know for sure that I can't take it, and even if that's the goddamn truth I don't want her to have actual proof. She is looking so hot and I am feeling so cold and the guy she's with has his hand on her arm in a way that a gay friend would never, ever think of, and I guess that's my own proof. I am the old model and this is the new model and I could crash out a year's worth of time on my bass and nothing, absolutely nothing, would change.
She sees me. She can't fake surprise at seeing me here, because of course she fucking knew I'd be here. So she does a little smile thing and whispers something to the new model and I can tell just from her expression that after they get their now-being-poured drinks they are going to come over and say hello and good show and--could she be so stupid and cruel?--how are you doing? And I can't stand the thought of it. I see it all unfolding and I know I have to do something--anything--to stop it.
So I, this random bassist in an average queercore band, turn to...

03 Michel-Georges Brégent,
Atlantide (1985) (extract)
voices, various ensembles, electroacoustic sounds, and environmental sounds
Commission: Société Radio-Canada (SRC)
Recorded live during the Orient-Express concert, June 12, 1997, at Salle Pierre-Mercure in Montréal.
I discovered In C in 1969 while away in Québec City hoping to convince a civil servant from the Ministry of Cultural Affairs to help the Infonie financially. Since we were "weird", our mentor chose to give us—instead of the expected grant—a record that was rotting in his collection. It was obvious our man was relieved to be rid of this music as well as of me! I was immediately fascinated by this composition with no precise instrumentation, exclusively based on a quick, regular pulse in eighth notes on which are affixed motifs of variable length, thrown about and repeated by the players, the only instructions being to advance from left to right in the text.
Therefore, it is not surprising to hear that no one is exactly at the same spot at the same time, although this situation could arise. This process of osmosis might be described as a kind of concentrated atom (some motif or other picked up by a majority of instrumentalists) surrounded by smaller scattered particles that are either dissipating motifs, or foreshadowed ones on their way to becoming the main atom for a while before progressively dissipating, and so forth.
In C was recorded live during an SMCQ concert given in June 1997 at the Pierre-Mercure concert hall in Montréal. Note the presence of a mixed choir in the balcony. The sung text, published herein, was written by Raôul Duguay as a sort of contemporary karaoke in the form of a cosmogenesis, and can be sung by the audience. The voice of Raôul Duguay as "soloist" rounds off an orchestra composed of woodwinds, brass, percussion and strings, to which are added a harp, a sitar and tablas. An introduction in the form of a free prelude, a bit in the manner of an Indian Raga, precedes the work, just to warm up the audience and the performers.
Nearly forty years after its creation,In C never ceases to fascinate, and it has a definite lasting quality to it (Steve Reich's Drumming is its direct descendant), as is evinced by the audience's spontaneous reaction at that magical and really "hot" evening of June 12, 1997.
The SMCQ has been moving in step with the lively rhythms of new music for almost fifty years. With its regular concert season, its Série hommage (Homage Series), an international festival, and a young listener's programme, the society has served both as a platform for today's composers and as a window on creative works for everyone.

A Central Florida family is fighting for their 2-year-old son and his chickens.
After JJ was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in February, his parents did some research and discovered that interaction with chickens was therapeutic for his behavioral and speech delays -- they instantly saw a difference.
"Anytime you can take him out to the chickens, he'll immediately have an attitude adjustment, and he'll just run around with the chickens, and play and he just loves being out there with the chickens," said Joe Hart, JJ's father. "For the first time he said 'I love you,' and that meant the world to me, because he's 2-and-a-half. He should have been saying that at like one, and I didn't know if I would ever hear that."
The parents say the chicken eggs were also an added bonus for his diet but in August code enforcement slapped the Hart family with a notice saying they're in violation of city code because their property isn't zoned for agricultural use and they could face an up to $250 dollar fine per day.
"They comfort him and he loves them and they provide us eggs," said Ashleigh Hart , JJ's mother, at the DeBary Code Enforcement meeting.
The Harts pleaded their case before the DeBary code enforcement board at Wednesday night's meeting, with help from a flock of friends family and even the mayor of DeBary, all of whom ruffled some feathers over the issue.
"Send a message a clear message to the council for a reconsideration of chickens in the community, I think they serve a purpose and in this particular case, you're talking about a child's life," said Mayor Bob Garcia.
In the end, the board said they had no choice but to find them non-compliant. "Unfortunately, I cannot agree with the fact that it's in accordance with the law, because it is not," said board Chairman Don Pulver Jr.
The board gave the family 60 days to appeal their case before city council asking for an amendment to the city code, in the meantime the family can keep the chickens for that time period.

Capture the moment with this 18k white gold engagement ring, featuring pavé-set diamonds arranged in a double halo design and your choice of center diamond.
View our education section to learn more about our engagement rings.
My husband and I purchased this ring for our 5 year anniversary. We had it set with a .64 G SI1 ideal cut diamond. I opened it outside when it arrived, I was blinded by the sparkle! It totally surpassed my expectations, I can't stop staring at it! The french setting of the stones really bring out the best of the surrounding diamonds, and my center stone is gorgeous. Customer service was super friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend!
Heather, MISSION VIEJO, CA – June 2014
My fiance purchased this ring and surprised me with a proposal in May. I seriously feel like the luckiest girl in the world with it on my finger. You would not believe the comments that I get on how beautiful it is. It is much more beautiful in person than online.
SARAH, VANCEBURG, KY – June 2014
My fiance picked the most beautiful ring. I have gotten so many compliments on this setting. At first I think he was worried about if the double halo would take away from the center diamond but it doesn't it just makes it stand out that much more and the way it's made it's easy for a band to fit. Just perfect.

DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban said last month that the "Bank of Cuban," was open and that the Mavericks were pushing to make deals.
With the NBA trade deadline rapidly approaching, head coach Rick Carlisle isn't so sure anymore.
"If you're asking me if we're going to trade anybody, I don't think we're going to," Carlisle said. "That's my opinion. I don't think we're going to trade [Shawn] Marion, I don't think we're going to trade Vince [Carter]. I don't think we're going to trade anybody, that's my opinion."
Marion and Carter's names might have value to contending teams, but Marion has already said he would not accept a trade to a team that can't contend for a title.
"That was just voicing my opinion, the 'if' possibility," Marion said. "There are a lot of things that come behind that though. I think when you do things and you compete in a certain way, you owe that to yourself to leave it out on the floor and be doing something."
Carter made no similar promise.
"If it happens, it happens," Carter said. "Until then, each individual player plays for the Dallas Mavericks and you have to do your job."
The Mavericks have been playing somewhat better recently, but they're still four-and-a-half games out of a tie for eighth in the Western Conference, having won nine of their last 14 games. The NBA trading deadline is now just 10 days away, but don't look for any major changes just yet.
"Look, we're opportunistic, and if there is an opportunity for us to get an over the top type move, we'll certainly look at it," said Mavericks President Donnie Nelson. "We like the guys in that locker room. The chemistry is coming together and we're making a push at the right time, so I don't think we need more change unless it's for the right reasons."
The franchise player is on board with the franchise plan.
"First of all, if we do have cap space now, we don't want to take on a bunch of money now that would actually prevent us from having cap space this summer, and give us a chance, maybe at Dwight or Chris Paul, whoever is out there this summer, to actually make a run at them," said Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki.
In the meantime, the Mavericks will try to fight their way into playoff contention. Obviously, having Marion and Carter on their roster will greatly enhance their chances of actually becoming a playoff contender.

I'm glad that's true for you. Why are you still here in Canon land, then? If Nikon is so much cheaper, you should switch. Please.
spoken like a true fanboy.
nobody wrote about switching... i sure don´t.
but if it hurts your fanboy feelings when people dare to say that canon gear is overpriced... i beg your pardon but that´s what many people think.
you obviously donated a great part of your life to canon... and i did not want to make you feel bad with my posting! it was not personal or meant to make other canon users feel bad!
Thanks for that quite offensive post. 'Fanboy' connotes a loss of objectivity, something I assure you I don't suffer from. I've spent far more money on the make of cars my wife and I drive, because they offered the features we wanted...am I a fanboy of that make, as well? (I guess not, because our needs have changed, and the next vehicle will be a different make). I must be a house, 401K, and 529 college fund fanboy, too - way more than Canon judging by my spend in those areas.
The D800 is a better landscape camera (as I've stated before) - and if that was my main shooting interest, I'd buy one (would have done so already, in fact, and not come here whining about it beforehand).
You previously stated, "i can get a D800 for 2289 euro from a big and reputed reseller here in germany (from some smaller shops it´s as low as 2150 euro)," and went on to discuss D600 prices, too...if you aren't even considering switching, why do you even care what Nikon bodies costs? Perhaps as an excuse to whine and complain? At least that's free, so by all means, carry on...

More improvements needed at tower blocks (From Southend Standard)

More improvements needed at Southend tower blocks
10:00am Thursday 8th November 2012 in Echo News
AN ARDENT campaigner has welcomed a successful Echo campaign to improve security at Southend's trouble tower blocks, but says there are still battles to be won.
Del Thomas, a Tory activist and street pastor, backed this paper's bid to have CCTV installed in the four Queensway high-rises – Malvern, Chiltern, Pennine and Quantock.
Last month, after a year-long campaign, South Essex Homes announced it would spend £30,000 on the cameras.
Mr Thomas welcomed the move, but argued there were still more issues to be tackled.
He said: "The new CCTV is great news and I have seen a marked improvement in the cleanliness of the lifts in my last couple of visits.
"I know the caretakers now feel safer because of this and I hope that the residents feel a little bit more secure.
"However, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done in relation to the security of the flats."
We launched our campaign for drastic improvements to help residents plagued by crime, drug dealing and antisocial behaviour after a grisly killing in November 2011.
The death of Christopher Ryan, killed at his flat in Malvern in a drugs robbery, left hundreds of residents fearing for their safety.
The lack of CCTV in lifts became the focal point of people's concern.
However, Mr Thomas said further improvements were still needed.
He called for a concierge system, CCTV in the tower blocks' stairwells and a more secure entry system as the best way to truly put residents' minds at ease.

I live in one of the blocks and don't want any more security thank you very much - ok there's a bit of trouble now and then but no more than a normal street. It's just that these are flats and it seems worse.
I work for a living - and I'm still paying for the last new doors they put on here!
Will this bloke pay my service charge for the concierge - or even to have the cameras monitored 24/7, even with just the ones in the lift? I doubt it.
Since this guy started on all this I've had him, South Essex Homes and the PCSOs knocking on my door and leaving notes about "community circles" ASB and god knows what else! I'm sick of it.
Most of us who live in these blocks just want to live life and get on - the few that cause minor trouble usually get dealt with fairly soon. I know the caretakers report stuff to the police and they up the patrols and the troubles move away for a while - they come back, but soon get moved again. The courts keep letting them out so what can the police do but move them on?
I accepted the cost of putting cameras in the lifts but I won't be paying for any more...unless you'd like me to send the bill to you Mr Thomas?

Nice idea, but can the tenants afford the extra rent to cover a concierge system, CCTV in the tower blocks' stairwells and a more secure entry system. These things don't come cheap.

Woman 'lost her sight' after drinking methanol
Reports in The Telegraph and The Mirror said that within days of drinking the methanol a woman, reported as reports as Cheznye Emmons, complained that she had lost her sight.
She went through the jungle to the nearest eye clinic, and was referred to a hospital in Sumatra, where she was placed in an induced coma.
Her parents flew to her bedside and made the decision to turn off her life support machine.
Indonesia has an alcohol tax of more than 200% on some products, which leads locals to brew their own home-made spirits.Methanol is a by-product of poor distillation techniques.

Gwinnett County has joined a national lawsuit filed against the Federal Aviation Administration to keep the air traffic control tower at Briscoe Field open.
The FAA is slated to close nearly 150 towers to save money.
The county said the tower helps draw companies to use the Lawrenceville airport and pumps millions into the local economy. It is also concerned that safety will be in jeopardy if the tower closes.
"I think it would help to keep corporate aviation in there," said Jim Regan of Citizens for Better Gwinnett. He said he supports the lawsuit. "Everybody wants to think that they're safe when they're flying."
However, not everyone agrees the tower is essential to Briscoe's operations.
"The companies I flew for over the years don't care whether there's a tower or not," said former corporate pilot Paul Branson. "As long as I could get them into the place, that's all they wanted."
Other pilots who use Briscoe Field said they are trained to land at airports without control towers.
"The tower is important for most business traffic coming in, but for most general aviation, my personal opinion is that the tower is not necessary," said pilot Jim Weed.
Gwinnett County has signed on to a lawsuit filed by the airport in Spokane, WA. Airports in Illinois and Florida are also taking legal action to get the FAA to restore funding for airport towers.
The county is also researching how Congress' recent decision to restore funding for air traffic controllers will affect the future of Briscoe's tower.
The FAA planned to close the tower May 5 but has postponed any action until mid-June.

After Pe'Shon Howard announced that he was transferring from Maryland this spring, the immediate question became who would share point guard duties with incoming freshman Roddy Peters? Would Nick Faust and Seth Allen split time at the position with Peters? Would it be just Faust or just Allen? Well, on Wednesday Mark Turgeon answered that question:
.@CoachTurgeon on Seth Allen "He'll play most of the minutes for us at PG next season. It'll be him and Roddy Peters."— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) June 24, 2013
You can listen to the entire interview here.
Many people expected Peters to immediately step into the starting point guard spot in 2013-2014, but based on this, it seems as if Allen will be starting there and Roddy will be backing him up off the bench. That would likely mean that the starting five would be: Allen, Faust, Wells, Smotrycz, and Mitchell, or some similar combination.
Turgeon also acknowledged that trouble at point guard last season inhibited Alex Len from reaching his full potential:
.@CoachTurgeon on Alex Len at Maryland "We weren't a good shooting team + we didn't have a set PG. That affected Alex."— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) June 24, 2013
Point guard play in 2013-2014 is going to be key for Maryland. Hopefully Allen can do a good job running the offense. Last season, Allen averaged 2.3 assists per game and 1.9 turnovers per game. If Seth and Maryland are going to be successful this season, Allen is going to have to have a much better assist to turnover ratio.
If Allen is spending most of his time at the point, you have to wonder if Roddy Peters will play some shooting guard next season. Many people forget that Peters, in addition to his ball handling skills, has a great shooting stroke, which should be useful for Maryland and allow them to run some unique sets on offense.
What are your thoughts on Allen running the point?

Eau Claire (WQOW)- For more than a decade, John Underwood has been studying the effects drugs and drinking have on athletes.
"58% of 12th graders that are in sports report they've consumed alcohol during the school year; 20% report that they've used marijuana during the school year," Underwood says. "The average age at which kids take their first drink, and that's one entire alcoholic beverage is age 11.9 for boys, age 13.1 for girls."
Underwood, President and Founder of the American Athletic Institute, suggests that teens take a long hard look at the group they run around with.
"The number one factor in use of those substances is who you hang out with. No other factor is even close to that," Underwood says. "You see a lot of good kids involved in things they shouldn't be involved in going through a door, I don't see so many of those kids coming back out of that door. I see kids once they go through it, saying to other kids, hey come on, come do this. We need kids that have not gone through that door saying to kids, come back and be an athlete. That's the problem, it doesn't swing both ways right now."
Underwood will be speaking to local high schools during the next few days. He spoke at Augusta High School Monday night. He will be talking at Altoona tomorrow and at Memorial on Wednesday.

Several members of the Owen County High School track team spent Saturday morning taking part in the Class A State Track Meet at the University of Kentucky. Each of them represented themselves and their school well.
he top finisher was Hunter Trenary, who finished third in the 3200- meter run. This was an improvement for the senior who finished seventh in the same event last year.
Also for the boys, it was Seth Shafer placing 23rd in the discus while the 4x800-meter relay team of Kyler Law, Cory Hudnall, Daniel Lopez and Keith Stout placed 15th.
By reaching the 31st District championship game May 23, the Owen County High School baseball team assured a third-straight trip to the Eighth Region baseball tournament.
They were also hoping for something a little more as well.
The Rebels began the tournament May 19 in New Castle and needed two wins to reach the championship game.
The defending district champs played like it on the first two nights as they knocked off Eminence 10-0 in the first round and Gallatin County High School 5-0 in the semifinals.
In their first two meetings this season Gallatin County outscored Owen County by a combined 15-2 score. Things would be much closer when the two squared off last week in the semifinals of the 31st District tournament.
It was the sixth time the schools had met in the tournament dating back to 2006.
Owen County won the first three meetings rather handily. Gallatin County then turned the tables defeating the Lady Rebels in the 2012 championship game and also in the 2013 semifinals. Both were one-run contests.
During the May 14 Owen County High School boys basketball team banquet, nine members of this year's varsity team were recognized for their exceptional work off the court.
Teammates Cameron McAnally, Vince Toftness, Chad McDonald, and Hunter Trenary were honored for maintaining a cumulative GPA between 3.25-3.74 and were named 2013-14 KHSAA Honorable Mention Academic All-State.
Blaine Forsee, Carson Williams, Jarrod Ball, Trevor Lykins, and Tucker Trenary were named 2013-14 KHSAA First Team Academic All-State for maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher.
The regular season for the Owen County High School baseball team is complete.
Owen County closed out the regular season with three games last week. They began the trifecta with a contest against Villa Madonna in Owenton May 12. The Rebels were able to avenge an earlier loss to the Blue Lightning with a 5-1 victory. The day would be the final home game for seniors Jarrod Ball, Bobby Duncan, Zach Hall and Logan Webster. With the win the team would finish 6-5 at Dunavent Field.
The Rebels would hit the road May 13 for Frankfort.
The Owen County High School Lady Rebels wrapped up the regular season last week.
The team hosted Gallatin County High School May 12.
It was the final home game for a pair of seniors in Allison Dempsey and Krissy Swigert. It would not be a happy send off as the Lady Wildcats defeated the Lady Rebels 8-2.
Owen County finished the regular season 8-11. They were 7-7 against Eighth Region opponents and 4-4 in games against 31st District competition.
The major league Owen County Gray baseball team captured second-place trophies May 18 during the spring fling tournament.
The Owen County Parks and Rec Minor League Maroon Rebels won the Henry County Spring Fling Baseball Tournament this weekend. This was the team's first three games of the season and they are now undefeated.
Stamper's Under 8 Big Monsters vs Bastin's Under 8 Blue Bombers
The Under 8 Blue Bombers headed into Saturday's U8 tournament undefeated from the spring soccer season. In the first game, they successfully faced the U8 Big Monsters to win 4-2.
University of the Cumberlands presented Danielle Hoop, a native of Owenton, with the A.T. Siler Memorial Award during the 55th Annual Honors Day April 27 in the Gatliff Chapel.
The A.T. Siler Award is awarded to a woman of the junior class who possesses the qualities which indicate the potential for outstanding contributions to her community as well as manifesting the best qualities of potential service to society. Each candidate must possess good academic standing and accords herself with the high moral standards of the University.

I remember steel.
Generations of steel.
My father, my grandfather, myself.
Steel was a member of my family.
I followed many before me: graduated high school and then into the mills. I finally had the opportunity to enter the strange shaped corrugated buildings and see the liquid metal that lit the night sky red throughout my childhood.
The draft separated me from the mill taking me to Europe. It was there that I made the decision not to return to the mill but to study art.
Five years later, steel again became a member of my family along with a wife and child. For a decade I worked the steel mills in Pittsburgh. I remember the massive industrial landscapes, the blast furnaces, the coke ovens, and the river barges at night. I remember the blooming mills that rolled blindingly illuminous blocks of steel. I photographed.
I watched steel die. I photographed.
The landscape was changing. I photographed.
As a tribute to my heritage, I photographed.
For the family album, I photographed.
For remembering steel, I photographed.

WORCESTER--- In a ceremony in Boston, Governor Deval L. Patrick today signed the $1 billion Life Sciences Bill, heralding a new era in life sciences research, discovery, development and education in the Commonwealth. "We are tremendously pleased by the prominent position that the University of Massachusetts Medical School has assumed in articulating the key role that life sciences research plays in Massachusetts," said Michael F. Collins, MD, Senior Vice President for the Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts and interim chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. "Moreover, we are privileged by the confidence that the Legislature and the Governor have shown in choosing to invest in the University of Massachusetts, and specifically our academic health sciences center, and we are grateful for all the efforts of the Central Massachusetts Caucus in the Legislature who advocated so effectively on our behalf."
Under the terms of the legislation, UMass Medical School will receive $90 million toward a new campus facility that will house the University of Massachusetts Medical School Advanced Therapeutics Cluster, which will launch a new era in research and development, with benefits that promise to be world-changing.
"This is unquestionably the 'life sciences moment,' and the University of Massachusetts is uniquely positioned to assist the Commonwealth in furtherance of its competitive position as a global leader in the life sciences," said Terence R. Flotte, MD, dean of the school of medicine and executive deputy chancellor at UMass Medical School. "Funds invested in our University will impact all regions of the Commonwealth. In fact, there exists with no single entity that is better positioned to realize the potential created by continued investment in the life sciences and the economy of Massachusetts and the region. Our planning for the new campus facility already has begun and has been facilitated by the strategic planning effort that will allow us to move forward efficiently in capitalizing on this unique moment in history."
Planning for a $449 million Advanced Therapeutics Cluster (ATC) has already begun on the Worcester campus. The facility, scheduled to open in 2012, will provide research space for more than 100 faculty in the life sciences. The ATC will have three integrated research programs: the Gene Therapy Center, RNA-interference (RNAi) Therapeutics Institute and Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. The three elements of the ATC are interrelated because they all function at the genetic level of biology, and have different but complementary capabilities for targeting the underlying causes of disease. "Diseases often have complex roots, not just a single genetic mutation. With the Advanced Therapeutics Cluster, we will have the ability to mix and match these technologies and apply them as appropriate for a particular disease," Flotte said.
About the University of Massachusetts Medical SchoolThe University of Massachusetts Medical School, one of the fastest growing academic health centers in the country, has built a reputation as a world-class research institution, consistently producing noteworthy advances in clinical and basic research. The Medical School attracts more than $179 million in research funding annually, 80 percent of which comes from federal funding sources. The work of UMMS researcher Craig Mello, PhD, an investigator of the prestigious Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), and his colleague Andrew Fire, PhD, then of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, toward the discovery of RNA interference was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and has spawned a new and promising field of research, the global impact of which may prove astounding. UMMS is the academic partner of UMass Memorial Health Care, the largest health care provider in Central Massachusetts. For more information, visit www.umassmed.edu.

Can you break someone's knee politely?
If so, Joe Lauzon tried to do exactly that at UFC 155 on December 29th, 2012. In an awe-inspiring moment of derring-do, Gentleman Joe nearly snatched victory in the last seconds from Jim Miller with a beautiful flying scissors takedown that transitioned to a heel hook attempt - which did not succeed, but more importantly, was done with such precision and respect for his opponent that it became a thing of beauty.
Although the submission attempt did not actually clinch the win, the daring and dangerous attempt at the close of the third round was a fitting end sequence to a gutsy thriller of a match. The bout was so much of a gutsy thriller that it was easily awarded Fight of the Night - and contentiously the Fight of the Year by many.
Thus it gets the Judo Chop treatment! Screenshots, GIFs, video, links and technique explanations all for you, dear reader.
| Related Judo Chops: Jorge Santiago's Inverted Heel Hook | Ed Herman, 50/50 Guard and Heel Hooks | Masakazu "Leg Destroyer" Imanari and the Inverted Heel Hook | Toquinho Palhares and Leglocks #1 | Toquinho Palhares and Leglocks #2 |
A few words of caution first - the flying scissors takedown is a dangerous technique to execute even in the best of conditions. It becomes an order of magnitude more difficult and dangerous for the athletes involved once exhaustion, slipperiness and battle damage comes into play. Another step up in degree occurs when the heel hook submission is added in (as most people doing the takedown technique will do). Be intelligent and careful with training this takedown to submission chain.
Joe Lauzon performed the flying scissors takedown about as well as anyone has done it in MMA history and he did it in the third round of a high paced match against one of the better grapplers in the lightweight division - while covered in his own blood. The timing, body control and execution were stellar. The remarkableness of the submission attempt is even greater once you realize that Lauzon did everything he could to perform the potential breaking of Miller's knee in a polite and sporting fashion.
There would be no audience members cringing due to the insta-break of an ankle due to awful technique or negligent timing. There was instead a furious mini-arms race of technique, counter, counter to the counter and so on - which is exactly what MMA should be about and why this Judo Chop is being written.
A while back, KJ Gould asked Reilly Bodycomb to put together a very sweet video on how exactly the scissors sweep should be done. The resulting step by step video using in-competition footage as well as Reilly explaining each key point is very much worth watching and I will embed it at the end to provide the best possible coda.
First, we turn to the most famous flying scissors takedown to inverted heel hook in MMA history: Ryo Chonan's sublime submission of Anderson Silva at PRIDE Shockwave 2004. Some unknown person years ago (before Bloody Elbow even existed) made this GIF to preserve Chonan's finest moment.
The basic principles of the scissors sweep operate from being side on to the opponent. Look at how Anderson's feet almost point towards the ropes all the way on the other side of the ring, while Chonan is positioned on the near side. Ryo smartly sees this and feints with his hands to get Anderson thinking of swatting away punches, while Ryo launches his left leg up into the abdomen of Anderson.
With that left leg up in the air, Chonan ensures his right leg moves backwards and clears Anderson's right leg. The scissors are closing upon Anderson's leg. The careful posting of the right arm does three jobs - preserving the momentum of the scissors takedown, preventing the unsporting collapse of Chonan's body directly upon Anderson's knee and easing the transition to the inverted heel hook by having the crook of the elbow ready to latch onto the newly exposed heel.
Silva had a leg injury coming into the fight and his tap may have been faster than most MMA fighters today, but given how sweetly Chonan timed this and how readily Ryo begins to buck up his hips to torque the knee, Silva really had only a small chance of escaping the inverted heel hook without the injury slowing him down.
The timing and positioning on this takedown is rather crucial - but in a very strange way. For most takedowns, if the timing and positioning is off, the takedown fails and everybody resets. For the flying scissors takedown, if the timing and positioning is off, there is a huge likelihood that you're going to be either flat on your back with no guard or you're going to break the leg of your opponent in a way that you never ever want to do in sports.
The latter happens all too often, even on the professional or world class level. In a famous match in late April of 1980, two of the elite heavyweights in Japanese judo (and thereby the world) faced off in the finals of the All Japan Open. The thirty year old Sumio Endo was a two time world champion and Olympic bronze medalist. The twenty three year old Yasuhiro Yamashita was a three time All Japan champion, who had beaten Endo multiple times there, and a one time world champion. This was a big match and the 1980 Olympics were coming up in a few months, so whoever won was very certain to be the Japanese representative and an Olympic gold medal favorite.
The following GIF below essentially shows the entire match, which Zombie Prophet was kind enough to work his magic on for us.
Endo tries to set up a trap for the tobi kani basami by baiting Yamashita into stepping that left leg over into Endo. However, he screws up the timing and Yamashita's instincts lead him to not fully commit to the step, while going for his own grip readjustment. All of Yamashita's weight is forced downwards on a badly placed ankle. Yamashita's fibula was badly broken and the match was declared a draw (with Yamashita getting top billing for the title, somehow).
Japan ended up boycotting the 1980 Olympics due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, so this match didn't actually affect the Olympic standings. Yamashita healed up and basically became the best judoka in the modern era for Japan at the time with three more world titles, an Olympic gold and a legendary undefeated streak. Throw in five more All-Japan titles for Yamashita, too.
However, this particular match and the cumulative weight of the numerous other injuries resulting from bad applications of the technique got the scissors takedown banned from the competitive judo scene.
For sheer "make you cringe" factor, check out this other bad flying scissors attempt from a video that calls it a match from the 1987 Texas state championships.
That's got a posting-out, but it looks like the scissoring leg caught the opponent's leg fully planted, while the grip up top yanked the opponent diagonally backwards over that same knee.
Kaboom goes the knee and if you can imagine stuff like this times hundreds, it becomes apparent why timing, positioning and respect of the opponent really matter for this takedown in a sporting environment.
Lauzon's scissors takedown was impeccable in terms of positioning and timing (GIF) - in fact, Joe threw a useless punch specifically to get Jim in a better position for the takedown.
Joe's punch is useless as far as a punch goes. Even if it had landed fully, it wouldn't have done damage beyond a slap. However, it does exactly what it is meant to do.
It makes Jim have to cover up by ducking his head and bringing his hands up to defend - which is exactly what Joe wants.
In order to do that, Jim basically has to plant his right leg on the ground somewhere in front of him - which is exactly what Joe wants.
As Joe's momentum starts to tug Jim down on his back, Jim uses every ounce of balance and quickness he has to step his left foot backwards slightly. The left foot moves behind the middle line of the purple box and closer to the "m".
The difference between Miller's left foot positioning is perhaps a couple of inches between the above image and the one here. However, that shift allows Jim to push, hop forwards and pivot with Lauzon's momentum.
The hop and pivot gives Miller just enough space to pull his foot free from the clamping elbow of Lauzon. Admittedly, it is difficult to fully clamp the elbow on the foot of an opponent for a regular heelhook, much less to do it during a flying scissors/heelhook technique chain, but Joe had it in pretty good until then.
Compare the following two images to see what I mean with the foot/elbow positioning:
As the pivot continues, the heelhook becomes harder for Lauzon to achieve and Miller moves out of immediate danger of a torqued knee. Miller has created a moment more to work his footlock defenses. Lauzon has several instant choices at hand - to re-position himself for a heelhook, to switch to an anklelock or to let go and try to get on top.
Making the decision on the fly, Lauzon goes for the adjustment to the heelhook and nearly gets it - but the body positioning of the two opponents is working against him here.
With the original heelhook attempt, it was Miller's goal to pull the heel out - but with the new body positioning created by Lauzon finishing his swing and Miller falling to his left, Miller wants to just push the foot down to the mat. It is a simple movement and the end result is to make it a battle for an anklelock attempt that Miller can likely tough through.
Joe ends up on his right side, with the foot underneath him, which makes scooping the heel back out and torquing the other way difficult. An anklelock is not only similarly unlikely to achieve, it's not usually an insta-tap move, especially against a grappler as good as Jim Miller. Despite Lauzon's perfect set-up for the takedown and very good follow-through, he cannot get the heelhook or anklelock. So in classic Lauzon fashion, he immediately goes for a guillotine as time expires. Miller was lucky, skilled and prepared enough to escape the furious chain of techniques Lauzon threw at him during all this (GIF).
Alan Belcher demonstrated something kind of along the lines of what Lauzon was going for - although he shows this in the context of a BJJ gi class on how to do heel hooks. In addition, he shows this as a counter to a defense of a throw (it's like complexity sprinkles on top of an intricacy ice cream cone)
A potential defense to the flying scissors comes from instant recognition and many, many reps of this technique. As these two sambo players demonstrate in their technique, it is fully possible to roll out of the scissors and cause a reset to the feet or scramble for top position - provided the hand positioning is good (as they point out in the video).
However you do the flying scissors takedown, do it with respect as most of these people did and as Gentleman Joe Lauzon did. Don't forget to watch your subsequent leg positioning as you could possibly give up a leglock yourself if you go into this all willy-nilly like this guy in the red did:
I leave you with Reilly Bodycomb explaining the flying scissors takedown in great detail and I hope we all enjoy the fights tomorrow.

Studies show it happens more than we know. A young athlete suffering a dangerous concussion and allowed back in the game too soon.
Now, a new policy aims to keep boys and girls from being put back in harm's way.
Two years ago, Castle High soccer player Ashley Hampton knew her three concussions could have sidelined her for good.
"The second concussion, I was really scared because I was knocked out. This last one, I was unconscious. I didn't even remember the game," Hampton said.
On Monday night, the Warrick County school board took action to help players like Hampton, before it's too late.
"They play through these concussions, but there's a great price to pay later in life, so we're going to make sure we take good care of our kids," Warrick County Schools Superintendent Brad Schneider said.
The concussion and head injury policy requires parents and students to be educated about the risks of concussions and trainers or doctors must clear athletes before they return to play.
"I know some of our hardcore athletes just get their bell rung and they're competitive, they want to play. But our trainers and our coaches are going to be the ones saying, 'no,' Schneider said.
In a recent study, researchers found concussions in young athletes caused abnormal brain activity for up to two years. A huge price to pay, educators would like to keep from happening.
"We talk about school safety. That is very important and this is just another component of keeping our kids safe," Schneider said.
This policy is a mandate that is being adopted throughout the state.
Schneider says much of what was approved on Monday, they were already doing. The policy went immediately into effect.

The unique fragrance of cedar permeated the scene in Gulfport after a very large tree flew apart in the weather that Patti Jagisch witnessed.
"I've never felt my car ever lift like that off the ground, but you could actually feel it lift, and I thought, whoa," she recalled.
Jagisch was a couple of hundred feet away from Yummy's, which the cedar tree used to shade.
"I loved that tree," lamented restaurant owner Lori Luczak. "When I first came to Gulfport, I fell in love with Yummy's, probably because of that tree."
Within a couple of hours, a community cleanup blossomed where the cedar once stood. And in short order, the debris was gone.
But that was not the only damage. For several blocks, we saw lots of minor losses -- trees and limbs and utility sheds, one of which broke a car's windshield in the same assault that took out the cedar.
"It only lasted about four minutes, three minutes before it all came through."
But the worst damage was at Yummy's, which lost its front dining room. And, of course, its shady cedar.

A good Samaritan broke through the ice of Swift Creek Reservoir to save a stray dog Wednesday after he noticed the dog poking his head out of the ice several yards from land.
"This might have looked like a good short cut, lucky for this dog there was a hero nearby," wrote an eyewitness in an email. "Thanks to Daniel Butler… this dog was rescued and handed over to authorities."
Butler took a row boat into the reservoir, breaking through the thin sheet of ice. He then grabbed the dog and hoisted the animal into his boat.
Watch the RAW video of the rescue here: http://bit.ly/1feVUv4
Chesterfield County authorities are now caring for the dog.
"It's a scary though," the eyewitness writes. "This could have just as well been a person. Shows just how dangerous it is to walk on a frozen lake."
The rescue happened just hours after Dinwiddie County Animal Control rescued a dog that fell into frozen waters near White Oak Road. The animal was reportedly in the water for one hour.
"He was treated at the scene for hypothermia and taken to a local vet for further evaluation," writes Dennis E. Hale, chief of Dinwiddie Fire & EMS in an email Wednesday. "He was later released to his owners and is expected to be okay."

THE indecision in Washington over Afghanistan has prompted a plethora of criticism from a broad range of angles, but there is at least one redeeming factor that has received insufficient acknowledgement. The vacillation is evidence of a genuine debate.
Granted, it's a debate that ought to have taken place a long time ago. But even at this late stage, its emergence is by no means an unhealthy development. The tendency to shoot first and ask questions later, if at all, can hardly be held up as a preferable alternative.
Back in 2001, only a single member of the US House of Representatives dared to question whether the invasion of Afghanistan was indeed a sensible response to the terrorist atrocities perpetrated on September 11. Sadly, but not surprisingly, Barbara Lee's voice went unheeded.
At least one senior member of the Bush administration shared her scepticism, albeit for rather different reasons. Donald Rumsfeld feared that the dearth of obvious targets in Afghanistan would make it hard for the Pentagon to demonstrate its shock-and-awe capabilities. Wouldn't it be a better idea, he wondered out loud, to attack Iraq instead?
It is commonly assumed that the shift in Washington's focus less than two years later seriously – perhaps even fatally – undermined its ability to reinvent Afghanistan as a relatively stable liberal democracy. That is an absurd assumption. The illegal and utterly unjustified assault on Iraq undoubtedly accounted for less attention being paid to Afghanistan, but who can say whether a deeper involvement in the latter would necessarily have wrought less baleful results?
The Taliban were not foolhardy enough to try to put up a fight. They melted away, and the US and its allies mistook this for a victory. It is certainly possible that some kind of Marshall Plan, entailing large-scale development and reconstruction without a great deal of corruption, would have positively influenced the perceptions of Afghans who were relieved by the disappearance of the Taliban, and who dared to hope that the latest manoeuvre in the Great Game might entail a period of peace.
Whether such a strategy would have sufficed to overcome, by and large, the traditional distrust of invaders is an open question, but there are plenty of grounds for scepticism. Yes, there are circumstances in which militarily occupied countries can evolve not only into stable democracies but also economic powerhouses. But Germany and Japan took that path in the wake of their defeat in the Second World War only because they consisted of highly developed societies within which substantial forces favoured such a path. That pattern is entirely alien to Afghanistan.
Vietnam is often cited as an experience that ought to have served as a warning to American militarists. There are, of course, significant differences, but perhaps the key in this context is that an influential segment of the ruling elite has striven since the mid-1970s to liberate itself from the lessons of Vietnam instead of imbibing their significance. It's an ultimately futile struggle.
Somewhat fewer commentators tend to point out that there are also vital inferences to be drawn from the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan through the 1980s. And here there are two dominant strands: the communist superpower's inefficacy in the face of popular resistance, and the rival superpower's misjudged and ill-motivated support for Islamist fanatics in the interests of its Cold War goals.
The present US administration has gone some way towards acknowledging its role in the birth of the Taliban, the product of an unholy menage a trois involving the mujahideen, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
The Obama administration has faced considerable criticism for lumping Afghanistan and Pakistan together in its so-called Afpak strategy, but the role that links between the most deleterious elements in the two countries have played in the evolution of present conditions are undeniable.
In the event, there is more than a hint of irony in reports that Pakistani officials do not want the US to disengage from Afghanistan, but are equally worried about the prospects of a big surge in American forces, as this would lead to large numbers of Afghan Taliban seeking refuge across the porous border.
In Washington, meanwhile, one influential school of opinion holds that restricting Al Qaeda to parts of Waziristan is the best that can be hoped for, and that a relatively small American force can satisfy the purpose.
There can be no doubt that American actions over the past eight years have influenced the nature of Islamist militancy in both qualitative and quantitative terms. And, given that experience, it is not easy to follow the logic of those who insist that US military engagement in the region is the only viable means of coping with the conjoined threats of religious obscurantism and seemingly random terrorism.
Both these dangers would have been considerably weaker had the US butted out in the first instance. At the moment, it is not all that hard to see how the prospect of American preponderance seems less poisonous than the threat of Islamist ascendancy. But can the latter successfully be combated while the former persists?
Ultimately, obscurantist forces, with all their dangerous fantasies and ridiculous hopes of salacious rewards in the hereafter, can be defeated only by indigenous revulsion. That holds true for Pakistan and Afghanistan alike. The latter obviously does not have a military as potentially efficacious as that of Pakistan, but it does not necessarily follow that foreign forces are an effective means of accomplishing what is necessary.
The current debate in Washington is likely to lead to a decision that won't please anyone: a surge that doesn't mean General Stanley McChrystal's audacious demand, but also doesn't clearly spell out an exit strategy. It'll disappoint those who are prone to crying uncle. But a sustainable future for the region has got to be one in which Uncle Sam does not play a military role.

EAST PEORIA, Ill -- If you're confused by the name of The 5th Quarter, look at this way; go for the food, stay for the game and stick around for a drink at The 5th Quarter.
"Originally, it was just a straight Chicago bar, which a lot of people like, but you also alienate the other sports teams," according to Co-owner Brandon Hurckes.
When it comes to food for sport fans, Hurckes says The 5th Quarter raises the bar.
"At your typical bar, it's just your greasy fried food. We do just about 99 percent of our food fresh."
Even the sandwiches are Chicago-centric. Vienna beef, as you may know, is my litmus test for a Windy City-themed restaurant.
"It's good," says Jesse Bartz as tries the
tenderloin. "There's a lot of food here. It's delicious."
"The owner here tells me he makes them fresh," Robert Culp says. "You can tell it's a fresh, home-made tenderloin."
Photographer Doug Smith and I started with Garlic Nuggets as an appetizer.
It's better than a pizza roll, and you get plenty for a good price.
For lunch, Doug had the 8-ounce pork chop sandwich and onion rings for an extra buck.
He said the sandwich was good with a smoky-tasting barbeque sauce.
I tested the Chicago theme with sweet peppers and grilled onions on an Italian Beef sandwich.
The onions were sweet, the thinly-sliced beef was tender and not too salty, served with au jus sauce.
The meal was well-beyond the bounds of bar-food.
Our lunches with two drinks and an appetizer, $25.50 plus tip.
Whether you're coming in for lunch or a late-night game, The 5th Quarter aims to please.
The 5th Quarter is at 1110 North Main Street in East Peoria.
They are open Sunday through Thursday from 10:30 AM to midnight.
They stay open until 2 a.m. on weekends.

About Brain Aneurysm Surgery
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What is a Brain Aneurysm Surgery?
A brain aneurysm surgery is surgical procedure in which a brain aneurysm is clipped. A brain aneurysm surgery is performed to cut off the bulging vein from the blood supply. This is done by clipping the neck of the bulge, which isolates the brain aneurysm from the rest of the blood circulation. This also prevents it from damaging the surrounding blood vessels, and its size is shrunk in a process called aneurysm obliteration. A brain aneurysm surgery is done as an emergency procedure if the aneurysm ruptures or it is done within 72 hours after a brain aneurysm has been diagnosed in an MRI or CT scan. If the brain aneurysms are less than 3mm, they may not be treated immediately as they pose very less threats to rupture.
Other treatments of brain aneurysms include an endovascular procedure. This is a less-invasive method of brain aneurysm treatment, which uses a catheter to put a coil around the aneurysm to prevent rupture and bleeding.
How is a Brain Aneurysm Surgery Performed?
A brain aneurysm surgery is performed by clipping. Clipping is a brain aneurysm surgery that is performed by a neurosurgeon. The surgery is done in an open craniotomy. During this procedure, the scalp and skull covering the brain is cut open. Then, a metal clip is used to clip the aneurysm base to prevent rupture.
First, the patient needs to lie on the operating table. Once the anesthesia is given and the patient is asleep, the patient's head is positioned in a three-pin skull fixation machine. The incision area is prepared depending on the location of the brain aneurysm. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may be removed by inserting a lumbar drain in the patient's lower back. This is done to make the brain relax, for which some medication may also be provided.
Then, a craniotomy is made in the skull depending on the location of the brain aneurysm. The incision is made to expose the skull. The muscle and skin are lifted from the bone and folded back. Tiny burr holes are drilled into the skull. A craniotome, which is a special saw, is entered through the burr holes and an outline is cut. The bone flap that is cut is lifted and taken away, which then exposes the dura mater that is the protective covering of the brain. The bone flap is replaced when the procedure ends.
In the next step, the dura mater is opened and the brain is exposed. A corridor between the skull and the brain is opened by placing retractors on the brain, which is used to trace the aneurysm. Before the aneurysm is clipped, the blood flow to and fro the aneurysm is controlled. After this, the aneurysm is isolated from the surrounding tissues and blood vessels. Then, a clip is placed across the neck of the aneurysm. Many clips may be used for this procedure. The clip is examined to see if it is not confining arteries. A needle is used to puncture the dome of the aneurysm to ensure that blood is not reaching the aneurysm. Once the clipping is done, the retractors are removed and sutures are used to close the dura. The bone flap is set back in its place with titanium plates and screws. The skin and muscles are then closed with sutures. A dressing is used to cover the incision.
How to prepare for the Surgery?
This procedure is often performed on an emergency basis when the aneurysm is ruptured. In this case:
The patient may be given medication to decrease blood pressure.
The blood pressure may be monitored with the help of an arterial pressure line inserted through the patient's arm.
If it is not an emergency:
The patient needs to give some tests like blood test, electrocardiogram, etc.
Certain medication that the patient is taking may be stopped.
An intravenous line is inserted into the patient's arm.
The patient will have a discussion with an anesthesiologist about the effects and risks of anesthesia.
Duration of procedure/surgery:
Approximately 3 to 5 hours or longer depending on the complexity of the craniotomy
Days admitted:
Approximately 2 to 3 weeks
General anesthesia
- The patients are put in a recovery room after the surgery.
- They are then transferred to the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to be monitored for 24 to 48 hours or longer in the case of a ruptured aneurysm.
- After the patients are out of the NICU, they are kept in the neurological floor for about a week. Here the patients are examined in terms of the damage caused by the aneurysm. Rehabilitation may be required for some patients.
- Full recovery is made by some patients however; most of the patients suffer some kind of impairment.
The risks of a brain aneurysm surgery include:
- Risks of anesthesia
- Blood clotting
- Swelling of the Brain
- Infection
- Stroke
- Seizure
- Problems affecting speech, vision, memory, balance, coordination, etc.
- Intra-operative rupture
After care:
- Patients with ruptured aneurysms require a longer duration of rehabilitation than patients with un-ruptured aneurysms.
- Rehabilitation involves many types of therapies such as physical therapy, speech and neuropsychological therapy, etc.

FORT WORTH — American Eagle pilots say parent company AMR Corp. is now threatening to get permission to void their labor contracts.
The Air Line Pilots Association sent that message to its members on Friday night. The union said bankrupt AMR has not changed its offer since March — even though it reduced the amount of cuts from pilots at American Airlines.
Eagle pilots say AMR could ask the bankruptcy court to cancel the existing contracts by the end of the month if their union does not agree to a new one.
American Eagle's website says it is the largest regional airline system in the world, with more than 1,500 daily flights serving 170 cities. It shares a hub at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport with American Airlines, also owned by AMR.

Several readers have written to point out this article on potential photographic evidence of a haunting at former King of England Henry VIII's palace, Hampton Court. While the tie to Harry Potter is pretty much non-existent (although maybe this is a relation of Sir Nick's?), we found it interesting enough to bring to your attention.

We know our heavenly Father gives us all we have. In thankfulness, we respond to His grace by giving of our time, talent, and treasure in His service.
Gifts of cash, stock, bequests, and memorials support current needs, capital campaigns, and the Endowment fund. Volunteer opportunities allow everyone to support our students in some way. Fundraising events not only support educational and extra-curricular programs, but also gather MLHS students, alumni, congregations, and community in support of our students.
Current Gifts (General Fund, Tuition Assistance, Academic Vouchers)
These donations keep tuition as low as possible. Parents, grandparents, & friends make gifts to assist with the cost of providing Christian education to loved ones; alumni make gifts in thanks for those who supported their own tuition and in turn assist the next generation. Memorials & tribute gifts provide opportunities to thank God for the blessings He gave during a loved one's life or to celebrate a special event.
Planned & Estate Gifts
While planning goes into every gift, "planned" giving generally refers to larger gifts made through various financial instruments or strategies. Donors structure gifts that may provide life income, avoid capital ganes taxes, or pass assets to family members substantially free of taxes. Many gifting strategies exist, including:
- Wills & Revocable Living Trusts. Most any type of asset may be given to MLHS via stating such direction in one's will or revocable trust.
- Beneficiary Designations. IRAs, 401k & other qualified retirement plans, annuties, and life insurance policies may have MLHS listed as a beneficiary. Such assets transfer immediately, outside of probate, and when coordinated properly can provide income tax benefits to one's heirs.
- Life Insurance. Policies may also be gifted directly to MLHS during the insured's lifetime. The donor may receive a current income tax deduction, the death benefit of the policy is removed from the estate (potentially reducing additional taxes), and MLHS may then in the future receive the death benefit at the insured's passing.
- Stocks & Securities. Gifting appreciated securities is often more advantageous than giving cash, as the donor can deduct the full fair market value while paying no capital gains tax on any growth since purchses. The tax savings make the actual "cost" of the gift less than one made via cash.
- Charitable Gift Annuities. A donor transfers cash or property to MLHS in exchange for a partial tax deduction and a lifetime stream of annual income; the income may be largely- or partially- tax free. The amount of the income stream is determined by many factors including the donor's age and current interest rates. When the donor dies, MLHS keeps the gift.
- Many other vehicles also exist, and may be appropriate for your situation. Working together with you, your financial advisor, attorney, and/or tax advisor, our Development staff can provide suggestions to best meet your goals.
Matching Gifts
Many donors maximize their gifts to MLHS by making use of matching gift programs available through their employers. Below are just a few of the local companies among the thousands in America that provide matches for their employees. Please use the search tool at right or contact us to see if your employer has such a program.
- Appleton (Papers)
- Gannett Co. (Herald Times Reporter, Green Bay Press Gazette, Appleton Post-Crescent, & other newspapers)
- Kimberly Clark
- Northwester Mutual
- Quad Graphics
- Robert W. Baird & Co.
- Thrivent Financial for Lutherans
Endowment Gifts
The MLHS Endowment Fund holds & invests funds earmarked for MLHS. Many generous gifts have expanded its balance to almost $2 million. Principal is maintained, and only the income from invested funds is used each year. The Endowment currently supports MLHS by providing funds for:
- General operating assistance
- Needs-based tuition assistance
- Tuition assistance for MLHS alum attending one of our pastor/teacher training colleges
- Capital improvement projects
WishList Gifts
A list of non-budgeted items is maintained to further support the academic, athletic, fine art, and other co-curricular program. Click at RIGHT for the current WishList.
Special Events
The following fundraising and social events are available throughout the year:
- Lancer Classic Golf Outing. Every August brings alumni, parents, and friends of MLHS together for a day of athletic fun, food, and team camaraderie on on of Manitowoc County's finest golf courses. Proceeds benefit the MLHS Athletic Department.
- Flag Football Tournament. Every fall this tournament of alumni & friends offers the chance to relive a little of that "gridiron glory." Proceeds support the Lancer Football program.
- Homecoming. Every fall this football game provides a great opportunity to welcome back many of our 3,100+ alumni under the lights of Lancer Field. Class reunions are often scheduled around this weekend as well.
- Parent & Grandparent Day. Every November, we welcome parents & grandparents to shadow their Lancer student throughout the day. Eat lunch together, sit in on classes, even take a quiz or two! The MLHS family is real, and we strive to express our appreciation for their support of our students and make them feel part of this family!
- Alumni Basketball Tournament. Every November, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, brings back alumni to find their old shooting stroke, work out th kinks, and raise money for the Lancer Boys' Basketball tem.
- Sunday Showcase Auction. Every March MLHS' largest annual fundraiser descends on our campus. Live & silent auction items, dinner, musical entertainment, and children's games make this an event for the ENTIRE family. It's a great way to welcome people to our campus; provide the chance to purchase some great items including trips, theme baskets, sports memorabilia, & home decor items; and "showcase" the talents of our students.
