WALLA WALLA, Wash. - The future looks especially bright for Jeff Northam and the Whitman College men's tennis team. So, too, does the present.
Now in his tenth season as Whitman's coach, Northam has assembled one of his strongest teams in years, thanks in large part to a core group of five talented freshmen. Those first-year players, coupled with returning veterans Sam Spiegel and Brad Changstrom, give the Missionaries seven front-line players ready to battle one another and the rest of the Northwest Conference.
"On any given day, any one of the top seven could beat any one of the others," Northam says. "This is the first time that I've had seven strong players who are so similar in ability. There is no clear demarcation between the top one or two players and everyone else."
The Missionaries open their spring season by hosting NWC rival Whitworth on Saturday, Feb. 14, in the Bratton Tennis Center. The season culminates with the conference championships April 16-17 at the Yakima (Wash.) Tennis Club.
Spiegel, a senior from Vancouver, British Columbia, is back for his fourth season at Whitman. The only senior on the roster this spring, Spiegel played at No. 2 singles last year, compiling an 11-1 record against conference opponents and earning All-NWC First-Team honors. He also was named to the Academic All-District team last spring.
Changstrom, a junior from Loveland, Colo., earned All-NWC Second-Team recognition a year ago, playing primarily at No. 3 singles and posting a 10-4 record against conference foes.
The best of Northam's freshman class are fraternal twins David and Dane Miller (Sumner, Wash.), Steven Ly (Fairview, Ore.), Phalkun Mam (Salem, Ore.) and Robbie Munday (Okanogan Falls, British Columbia).
A sixth player, Nick Clayville, a junior transfer from Spokane, Wash., enrolled at Whitman in January after playing his first two seasons at Spokane Falls Community College. Clayville, who won't compete for Whitman until next fall, won the Northwest community college singles title two years ago and placed third last spring.
"This is by far the single best recruiting class I've had at Whitman," Northam says. "To get so many strong players in one class is definitely unusual. What you normally expect is a slow trickle, maybe one or two excellent players in any given year."
Northam, who played on Whitman's nationally-ranked teams in the mid-1980s, served as a part-time coach for the Missionaries in 1990, 1993 and 1994. After brief coaching stints at Montana State-Bozeman and Boise State, he returned to Whitman as a full-time coach and director of tennis in the fall of 1997.
The Miller twins were nearly unbeatable in their four years as a doubles team at Auburn Riverside High School. Competing in the largest high school classification in Washington state, the duo won three consecutive state doubles titles, the only twosome to ever accomplish that feat.
"If David or Dane had chosen to concentrate on singles while they were in high school, I think either one of them could have won a state singles title," Northam says.
Last fall, after arriving at Whitman, the Millers advanced as far as the doubles semifinals at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Southwest Region Championships in San Antonio, Texas. They lost an 8-5 pro-set semifinal decision to Trinity University's top-ranked team, senior Sean Fifield and junior Stefan Parker.
David Miller, seeded No. 9 in the singles portion of the San Antonio tournament, advanced as far as quarterfinals, losing 7-5, 7-5 to the No. 4 seed, Tim Layman, a senior at Linfield College. Layman, who had to rally to win each set against Miller, eventually captured the tourney's singles titles.
Ly, who played his prep tennis at Centennial High School in Gresham, Ore., also made the quarterfinals of the San Antonio tournament, losing 6-3, 6-2 to Trinity's Fifield, the No. 3 seed. While in high school, Ly won a record four consecutive Mt. Hood Conference singles titles, qualifying each year for Oregon's state tournament.
Mam, who played at McKay High School in Salem, Ore., nearly gave Whitman a third participant in the singles quarterfinals at last fall's San Antonio tournament. His path to the quarters, however, was stopped by a 6-0, 5-7, 1-0 (10-7) loss to another seeded player. Mam was a doubles finalist at the Oregon state tournament in both 2002 and 2003.
"Phalkun has a huge upside as he starts his collegiate career," Northam says. Mam, who learned to play tennis from his parents, did not have any formal tennis training until coming to Whitman.
Ly and Mam have already formed another potent doubles combo for the Missionaries. At the San Antonio tournament, they staged an 8-4 upset of the No. 2 seeds, Linfield's Tim Layman and Chris Rivera, before losing in the quarterfinals.
Munday was the only member of Whitman's freshman class to lose in the opening singles round of the San Antonio tournament. He compensated, however, by winning the consolation singles bracket. Munday also teamed with Changstrom in doubles, advancing to the round of 16 before losing to the top-seeded duo.
Ly came to Whitman ranked No. 4 in singles among Pacific Northwest juniors. His four fellow freshmen carried rankings that ranged between No. 14 and No. 21, even though they had in some cases played a minimal number of qualifying matches.
As a comparison, Northam noted, recent Whitman graduate and tennis standout Tim Mullin arrived on campus in the fall of 1998 with a No. 17 regional ranking in singles. Mullin, a two-time NWC Player of the Year who broke Whitman's career record for wins, "improved a great deal in his time at Whitman," Northam says. "It will be interesting to see how this group of freshmen develops over time. Their potential is huge."
Rounding out Whitman's spring roster are junior Will Wyatt (Portland, Ore.), sophomore Aaron Cho (Federal Way, Wash.), and freshmen Daryl Gasca (Reno, Nev.) and Kenji Strait (Tokyo, Japan). Wyatt is in his second stint at Whitman, having played briefly two years ago before spending last year at Linfield. Cho saw limited action last spring for the Missionaries.
After opening its season at home against Whitworth, Whitman hits the road to play NAIA tennis powerhouse Lewis-Clark State and NCAA Div. I University of Idaho in mid-February. For Spring Break in March, the Missionaries head to California to battle four NCAA Div. III schools. One of those four matches, slated for March 18 against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, will be played at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, which will be hosting the Pacific Life Open at the same time (see news release).
This spring's battle for the NWC title, in all likelihood, will involve Whitman, Pacific Lutheran and Linfield as the primary combatants. Whitman won its last title in 2000. After Pacific Lutheran won in 2001, Linfield was the victor in each of the past two seasons.
"Our conference has become very interesting, and very competitive, over the past four or five years," Northam says. "Linfield has very good players returning, and while Pacific Lutheran lost a lot to graduation, it has also brought in two very good players."
Whitman teams have lost in the conference semifinals in each of the past three years. "In terms of our talent and potential as a team, we've made a huge jump from last year," Northam says. "It will be fun to watch the freshmen respond to the big conference matches because I don't think it will bother them a bit. They may be freshmen, but they are very talented and experienced, and they aren't lacking in confidence."
"The freshmen are also a very tight group, almost a fraternity onto themselves," Northam adds. "They support one another, and they have a good time when they play. Having fun is always the best way to deal with the pressure of a big match.

The Old Dominion University flag is flying at half-staff in honor of Professor and Dean Emeritus John R. Tabb, the first dean of the College of Business, who died Aug. 29.
Tabb's family will be on campus Monday for a reception to celebrate his life with members of the university community. The reception will be held from 3-5 p.m. in the Hampton/Newport News Room of Webb University Center.
A native of Iowa, Tabb earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in agricultural economics from Iowa State University and his Ph.D. in agricultural finance from Cornell University. After finishing his doctorate, Tabb came to Old Dominion in 1955 as an associate professor of economics and spent 38 years at the university, retiring in 1993.
In a letter to former students a few years ago, Tabb recalled his decision to to come to Old Dominion. "Back in 1955, I admit I had misgivings about leaving the status of Cornell University to come to Norfolk. But Everett Hong, then head of the business department, was quite a salesman. And so was Lewis Webb [Old Dominion's first president.] I never regretted my decision."
An Army veteran of World War II where he earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart, Tabb also spent nearly a decade in administrative positions with the university, including time as director of planning and development and director of institutional studies. He and his wife, Waulda (Buzz,) were among the founders of the Town-N-Gown organization on campus.
He traveled extenisvely overseas to conduct research and teach, including a year as a Fulbright scholar in Tanzania.
Tabb is survived by his wife; four children, Jon Robert Tabb, James Robert Tabb, Jeffrey Mark Tabb and Tara Jo Tabb Hayden; 10 grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; his sister, Jean Miriam Wilson; and 29 nieces and nephews. He will be buried in his hometown, Corwith, Iowa.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the John R. Tabb Scholarship Fund in Economics, c/o Dr. Vinod Agarwal, Old Dominion University Economics Department, 2044 Constant Hall, Norfolk, VA 23529.

All in God's Family: Creating Allies for Our LGBT Families
Giving you opportunities to gather with other members of your congregation to pray, to learn, to share, and to work together to transform your lives, your congregation, and your world into a loving place in which God's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender families can thrive.
To Do Justice: A Study of Welcoming Congregations
In order to both highlight the vibrancy, faithfulness and power of the Welcoming Movement and to counter the 'false witness' of those who seek to quash this movement of hospitality and justice, the Institute for Welcoming Resources surveyed pastors and leaders of 1,200 Welcoming congregations to ask them about their work and witness.
A Transgender Curriculum For Churches and Religious Institutions
Liturgical Resource
Embodying Our Faith
room for me?
In Room for All, we believe that the Gospel compels us to welcome and affirm Christ-followers of all sexual identities and gender expressions. So we decided to invite the reflections of some LGBTQ Christians in Reformed Church settings across the country.
Body and Soul: We Belong
In increasing numbers, Christians are searching for a faithful response in the churchs conversation about what it means to welcome and affirm people of all sexual identities and gender expressions. This video resource invites viewers to explore that question through six themes central to the Reformed tradition that are woven through the liturgies and confessional standards of the Reformed Church in America. We have created a downloadable discussion guide and encourage you to make use of it as you view the accompanying videos, pausing after each section to engage in reflection and conversation. The questions provided are based on the video content, Scripture, and Reformed confessions or liturgies. Download the discussion guide (pdf) and the complete video series (mp4 files). The series is also available on DVD for $15 plus shipping.
Faith in Action
Global Faith and Justice Project
Rooted in faith and justice, this global project amplifies faith voices that protect human dignity and achieve equality for LGBT people and their families.
In 78 countries it is illegal to be gay, in 7 countries the death penalty can be imposed. Homosexuality or same-sex relationships are criminalized in these countries as a result of the legacy of colonial penal codes. New anti-homosexuality laws threaten with imprisonment. The so-called homosexual propaganda laws threaten human rights education, medical and legal services for LGBT persons. They also foster suspicion rather than respect for the human dignity of LGBT people and their families.
The I AM Love Campaign
The I AM Love Campaign's mission is to ignite dialogue on religious bullying and homophobia, in all ages and walks of Life, by teaching self-empowerment through educational outreach and artistic endeavors.
We travel with the Campaign and bring it directly into the communities that are calling out for it, or that might directly benefit from it, with a particular emphasis on regions that have issues with equality and a desire for developing an educated dialogue. Our aim is to change the story on bullying and ignite conversations within communities that will move them to a higher understanding and acceptance of diversity. This first year of the Campaign has an intended focus on bullying of LGBT youth and, in particular, bullying from within a religious/spiritual community.
Why One of the Biggest LGBT Orgs Has Stopped Supporting ENDA
The morning the sun rose after the Supreme Courts Hobby Lobby ruling, we all woke up in a changed and intensified landscape of religious exemptions being used as an excuse to discriminate. The reality is that while politics is about compromise, some compromises are too great.
After much soul searching, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Action Fund has decided to withdraw its support for the current version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. As one of the lead advocates on this bill for 20 years, we do not take this move lightly but we do take it unequivocally we now oppose this version of ENDA because of its too-broad religious exemption.
Frank Schaefer's Defrocking Overturned By United Methodist Church

A nine-person appeals panel ordered the church to restore Frank Schaefer's pastoral credentials, saying the jury that convicted him of breaking church law erred when fashioning his punishment.

Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays Vs. Christians Debate
As a teenager and young man, Justin Lee felt deeply torn. Nicknamed "God Boy" by his peers, he knew that he was called to a life in the evangelical Christian ministry. But Lee harbored a secret: He also knew that he was gay. In this groundbreaking book, Lee recalls the eventshis coming out to his parents, his experiences with the "ex-gay" movement, and his in-depth study of the Biblethat led him, eventually, to self-acceptance. But more than just a memoir, TORN provides insightful, practical guidance for all committed Christians who wonder how to relate to gay friends or family membersor who struggle with their own sexuality. Convinced that "in a culture that sees gays and Christians as enemies, gay Christians are in a unique position to bring peace," Lee demonstrates that people of faith on both sides of the debate can respect, learn from, and love one another.Read more...

Hearts Unbound: Engaging Biblical texts of Gods Radical Love through Readers Theater
by David R. Weiss
The overwhelming message of the Bible, in story after story, is that of Gods radical love and welcome. Every time we think we know whos in and whos out, God does something to challenge those assumptions, to unbind our hearts and minds from old ways of understanding, and to draw the circle ever wider.
HEARTS UNBOUND invites you to explore ten of those inspiring stories of radical love and welcome. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and participatory, each session looks in-depth at the story, the historical context out of which it came, and some of the insights to be gained.
Designed to be used as a small-group Bible study, HEARTS UNBOUND uses the format of Readers Theater. But fear not no costumes, sets, or refined acting chops needed! All you need are six to eight people around a table, reading the script, having fun, all the while learning a great deal in the process.
All ten sessions are available for free download below.
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, HRC y UNID@S presentan nueva guía bilingüe dirigida a familias e iglesias latinas para educar sobre la orientación sexual, la identidad de género y la Biblia
En un esfuerzo por promover el diálogo dentro de las familias e iglesias latinas sobre la orientación sexual, la identidad de género y la Biblia, el National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, la Campaña de Derechos Humanos y UNID@S, presentaron hoy una nueva guía bilingüe, A La Familia, Una Conversación Sobre Nuestras Familias, la Biblia, la Orientación Sexual y la Identidad de Género en una conferencia de prensa durante la 82va convención nacional de la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos Unidos (LULAC por sus siglas en inglés) en Cincinnati, Ohio.
"LULAC está en contra de todo tipo de discriminación. Me siento muy orgullosa de mi estado natal al aprobar los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo", dijo Ralina Cardona, directora estatal de Nueva York para LULAC. "Como americanos, tenemos que aceptar nuestras diferencias. Es lo que separa a este gran país. No todos somos de la misma cultura, color, orientación sexual o religión, pero todos somos americanos y en nuestra unidad está nuestra fuerza, pero en nuestras diferencias está nuestro poder".

HRC, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and UNID@S release new bilingual guide on sexual orientation, gender identity and the Bible for Latino/a families and churches
In an effort to foster a dialogue with Latino/a families and churches on sexual orientation, gender identity and the Bible, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and UNID@S, unveiled today a new bilingual guide, A La Familia: A Conversation About Our Families, the Bible, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity at a press conference during the League of United Latin American Citizens' 82nd National Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people often face unique challenges in Latino/a families and churches. To help in the process of acceptance and inclusion, A La Familia is born out of a profound desire to faithfully integrate an excluded group of people back into the life of their churches and families. This guide is written for two primary audiences: heterosexual people honestly struggling with LGBT issues and the Bible, and those whose sexual orientation and gender identity have marginalized them within their family or church or even both.
Before God, We Are All Family: a companion film for A La Familia
In 2011, the Task Forces Institute for Welcoming Resources, in close collaboration with Unid@s, the national Latin@ LGBT Human Rights Organization and the Human Rights Campaigns Religion and Faith Program, jointly released A La Familia, a bilingual conversation about our families, the Bible, sexual orientation and gender identity.

The Institute for Welcoming Resources is delighted to be a partner in the transdenominational Believe Out Loud campaign. Believe Out Loud provides a much-needed national network for churches committed to welcoming and affirming lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people as beloved children of God.
Believe OUT LOUD is based in a simple truth: Privately believing that LGBT persons should have an equal share in our church and society is not enough; we must publicly proclaim that belief. Believe OUT LOUD gives the congregations, parishes and missions of our denominations the means to do exactly that.

Now this sounds hopeful. They get it; of the offensive players collected, Callaspo is one of the more productive and needs to play regularly. Good. Glad to see you didn't fail to notice last season.
Then this, which suggests they weren't paying that much attention at all.
Club officials remain comfortable with utilityman Willie Bloomquist filling all three outfield roles as a backup to starters Scott Podsednik, Rick Ankiel and David DeJesus
Or then you see this:
There's even a growing feeling among club officials that Callaspo might be a better option at third base than a healthy Gordon
which makes one wonder if they're giving up on Alex. But then suddenly you see:
Even so, the Royals are hesitant to give up on Maier, who is out of options and must be exposed to waivers before returning to the minors.
One then hopes that maybe they're not so dead set on disposing of Mitch before exploring his potential fully.
Then there's this:
It's notable perhaps that Gordon was already drawing time at first base before his injury. That points to a longer-term view in which that shift might be permanent with Billy Butler transitioning into a designated hitter if, as expected, veteran José Guillen departs after the season (if not sooner).
Ai yi yi. My poor ol' ticker can't take this.
Well, O.K., they're thinking forward. Kila fans wouldn't be happy to see this, but at least we're relieved of any notions of Guillen somehow sticking around (a nightmare scenario). Or is this Dutton just thinking out loud?
Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy decade.

- A better mobile browsing experience thanks to a new "contemporary view" which renders sites in HTML5 and works with the most recent mobile IE, Safari and Android browsers. It is designed for touch-screen interaction and optimized for tasks like accessing document libraries, lists, wikis and Web parts. The "classic view" for older mobile browsers remains, rendering sites in HTML, as well as the option to display a full desktop view of the site.
- New backend mobile "channels" that automatically rearrange the rendering of a SharePoint site for different mobile devices, augmenting the single default mobile view in SharePoint 2010 that was cumbersome to customize.
- A new capability for SharePoint sites to push notifications out to mobile devices, alerting users about changes, like the addition or modification of content.
- Two new native mobile apps. The SharePoint Newsfeed app gives users access to the people and documents they follow. It's available for Windows Phone and iOS and will be available on Windows 8 by the end of June. An Android version will be available later. The SkyDrive Pro app gives users access to this cloud storage and file sharing service on Windows 8 and iOS. It's due for release before the end of June. A version for Windows Phone 8 is already out.
Other new mobile features in SharePoint 2013 are the capability to add geolocation tags to a list, the capability to view certain types of business intelligence content and improved viewing of Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents with Office Web Apps.
For the many organizations that aren't on SharePoint 2013 yet, or that are on SharePoint 2013 but need more capabilities, there are third- party applications that can help.
[ How to Build a Business Case For SharePoint ]
Regardless of the tool they choose, CIOs and IT managers have to evaluate the security capabilities of the different options, including native features and their capacity to integrate with third-party security systems, such as MDM (mobile device management) products.
Filling the SharePoint mobile gap with third-party apps
The vendors that make these applications have moved to fill in SharePoint's mobile gap, which is still considered by many to be too wide even in the 2013 version.
Making the situation more confusing is the question of how the mobile plans for SharePoint will be impacted by the ongoing integration of the product with Yammer, the enterprise social networking suite Microsoft acquired in mid-2012.
[ Microsoft Details Yammer Integration with Office 365, SharePoint ]
Another element is the small but growing use of SharePoint Online, the version of the product that is hosted by Microsoft and part of the broader Office 365 cloud suite, and how mobile access may vary for it and for SharePoint installed on premises.
No one at Microsoft was available to talk about this, however, the company sent a brief statement via email saying that it is committed to mobile access for SharePoint. "This is a very important area for Microsoft," the statement reads.
H3 Solutions' Mobile Entrée makes SharePoint more mobile
After scoping out the market, AAA Mid-Atlantic settled on H3 Solutions' Mobile Entrée, which is installed on SharePoint servers and provides a set of mobile capabilities out-of-the box along with development tools to create custom applications as well.
Klichinsky is happy with Mobile Entrée's out-of-the box capabilities, in particular the capability to let users retrieve documents from SharePoint's document repository and the ability to view business intelligence dashboard data.

It looks as if the animal cruelty charge against Kokomo resident Don Lambert won't be going to trial after all.
Howard County Prosecutor Mark McCann said Wednesday negotiations are underway to bring Lambert's charge "to a resolution."
Lambert had 109 small dogs at his North Apperson Way residence in 2011 when police served a search warrant on the property.
Staff from the Kokomo Humane Society helped police during the raid, taking dogs out of Lambert's home, his backyard and from an non-air-conditioned garage behind the home.
McCann declined to discuss whether or not Lambert would plead guilty to the single misdemeanor charge. The case was set to head to a jury trial Feb. 8.
Lambert's case was originally set to go to a bench trial in February 2012, but has been delayed multiple times since then, three times at the request of the defense, and twice either jointly or at the prosecutor's discretion.
In the garage, dogs were kept two or three to a cage, and the cages were stacked two and three deep.
Melissa Justice, a field veterinarian from the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, examined all of the dogs and said seven of the animals were in significant pain from poor health conditions. All seven of the animals were later euthanized, after prosecutors asked Tate for permission.
The veterinarian said it was unlikely any of the seven would recover "in a timely manner and without significant pain ..."
Humane Society director Jean McGroarty later said about 90 percent of the dogs taken from the Lamberts' property were later adopted out, with the remaining 10 percent euthanized.
Lambert is unlikely to receive any jail time for a misdemeanor first offense.
Under Indiana law, the abandonment or neglect of an animal is charged as misdemeanor animal cruelty, while torturing, maiming or intentionally killing an animal is charged as a felony, with the exception of humane euthanasia.
Lambert's attorney, Bradley Hamilton, said after the 2011 police raid that Lambert was running a well-meaning rescue operation.
The Humane Society is expected to ask for restitution, after incurring significant expense in housing the animals, medical care and facilitating adoptions.

Rapid City Mayor Sam Kooiker presented his 2014 budget Monday night. It's $152 million, which is a 10.7 percent jump from last year. What do city council members think of the budget?
The streets are busy in Rapid City. But some city council members say streets and drainage ways are in serious need of repair, and the new proposed budget may not be enough.
"We need to spend more money on infrastructure and it's going to take some new money but that's maybe a year out. We need to grow in that area that's where we are seriously behind," said City Council Member Jerry Wright, of Ward 3.
Wright says streets like Main and Saint Joe are about 30 years old and need a lot of work, and there's not enough money to take care of them. Other council members are overall pleased with the budget.
"I think we have a very good budget the way the mayor proposed it. He came out with a huge increase as far as capital improvement," said City Council Member John Roberts, or Ward 4.
Roberts says it's a balanced budget but it can't fix everything.
"Unless we can find a way to add another $600 million into next year, which is impossible, it isn't enough. But the thing is we need a good long term plan to take care of our infrastructure needs that we put off for years," said Roberts.
Another issue is Rapid City has an ever increasing population.
"We are a community that appears to be growing and I think we need to be ready for that. That's going to take proactive decisions on our part. I'm not sure a growth budget is going to cover that," said Wright.
"As long as we keep strong growth numbers we can over the years catch up on our infrastructure needs," said Roberts.

In the beginning, physicians learned that giving sugar pills to patients could have surprisingly good results. For example, if a patient complained of tiredness, weakness or nebulous aches and pains, but the doctor could find no underlying cause, a pill containing no medication would often produce relief from the symptoms. Whether the patient's belief that the pills would help caused the improvement, or the attention of the physician and the act of receiving treatment made the difference, it was plain that prescribing inert medication could in some cases make someone feel better. Thus these sugar pills came to be called placebos - "placebo" being the Latin word for "I shall please."
"It's amazing," one healthcare worker told me, "what you find in studies." People with chronic insomnia, he said, report that they slept wonderfully on their new medications - that turn out to have been inert placebos. They believe the pills will help them sleep - and they do. This is called the "placebo effect."
More recently, drug companies have begun to produce "active placebos." These pills, unlike the sugar or starch pills of old, contain ingredients that mimic the common side effects of the drug under study. An active placebo might, for example, cause dry mouth if the drug being tested was amitriptyline, but it probably wouldn't cause drowsiness because amitriptyline is used to treat sleep disorders. It would be important to know whether people slept better when taking a placebo that medically wouldn't have that effect.
Sometimes a prescription medication is used as an active placebo. In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (March 31, 2005), the combination of morphine and gabapentin for relief of neuropathic pain was compared to each drug alone and to an active placebo. The placebo used was lorazepam, a benzodiazepine medication with anti-anxiety and sedative properties, with a common side effect of dizziness. Two of the most common side effects of both morphine and gabapentin are dizziness and sleepiness. "[A]pproximately one-third of the patients," reported Medscape, "guessed that they were receiving an active drug while they were receiving the lorazepam placebo, which could have decreased the difference between treatment with gabapentin or placebo." However, even so, the trial results showed significantly better results for the combination of gabapentin and morphine than either drug alone, and the poorest results for the lorazepam placebo.
The use of placebos, especially active placebos, is not without controversy, but no better way has been found to evaluate the efficiency of trial medications than to to test them in double-blind, placebo controlled studies.

A Sumner County teacher is out of jail on $15,000 bond after she was charged with having inappropriate relations with a student.Devri Ann DePriest, 25, of Franklin, Kentucky, was arrested Tuesday and charged with one count of statutory rape by an authority figure. She is currently the band director at Rucker-Stewart Middle School in Gallatin.Sgt. Bill Storment of the Gallatin Police Dept. told Nashville's News 2 the relationship occurred from September to November 2010 with a 16-year-old male student at Gallatin High School. DePriest was assisting with the band program at the high school. She reportedly had sex with the teen on multiple occasions during those three months.
"I don't know if the relationship or the friendship or interaction between the student and the teacher lasted beyond that three month period," said Storment.The teen, now 17, came forward with his mother Monday. Storment added, "I don't know if the mother found out accidentally or if he revealed it to her."In a statement, Jeremy Johnson, with the Sumner County school district, said DePriest has been "suspended without pay pending the outcome of the criminal case against her."
Cedric Campbell, a parent who has son at Rucker-Stewart Middle School told Nashville's News 2 he is shocked to hear of DePriest's arrest.
"This is the first time we've had any type of situation like this," said Campbell, "It's shocking because most of the teachers I know, this is not indicative of the way they react and do things."
DePriest has previously worked as a student teacher at both McGavock High School in Nashville and DuPont Tyler Middle School in Hermitage, according to her LinkedIn profile.
DePriest is scheduled to appear in court in December.
Anyone with any information concerning their relationship with DePriest is urged to contact Gallatin police at 615-452-1313.

5 lion cubs at Omaha zoo celebrate 1st birthday
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) _ Five lion cubs at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo have celebrated their first birthday with cupcakes.
The two males and three females _ named Taj, Josiri, Kyam, Leela and Zuri _ got lion-friendly treats Thursday at the zoo. The cubs are on display at the facility's Cat Complex.
The cubs weigh nearly 700 pounds together. Officials say they're in excellent health and can nap as much as 20 hours a day.
African lions, which live in sub-Saharan Africa, are listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Found an Auburn Trencher FS here in Ok. for $500. I'm interested, but before I call the party that has it for sale, I would like to speak intelligently about the trencher.
1. Did Auburn make Trenchers for more than just Cubs??
2. What needs to go with the trencher to make it a viable unit for a Cub? (Think I heard something
about an in-line despeeder etc)
3. If it is not complete, will be glad to investigate for someone out there needing whatever parts
go with it.

- 10 companies growing faster than their rivals
Keep an eye on businesses reporting the largest increases in sales per share.
- Why the S&P 500 is headed to 2,000
The market is setting itself up to hit new highs that should last through November.
Widespread recent selling in equities and gold looks to be a panic reaction by the masses, as opposed to a calculated response to real market data.
The over 5% decline in the Dow Industrials in the past two days has turned investors' focus back on the downside, which is different from the positive spin that prevailed just a week ago.
From a technical standpoint, I have been making the case that the rebound from the August lows was a typical flag formation. The Nasdaq Composite has been the strongest since the August lows, but the negative signals from the McClellan Oscillator as of Tuesday's close indicated even the Nasdaq had likely topped out.
Those who sold at the August 9 lows have had almost two months to watch the market stage a typical 50% rebound. If anyone sold yesterday because stops were hit or as a result of a previously developed plan, that is fine, but Thursday's drop suggested many were just hitting the sell button in a panic reaction.
The bearish sentiment of individual investors jumped sharply this week, as 48% are now bearish with just 25% bullish. These numbers are as of Wednesday, so they should become more bearish by next week.
Gold was also hit hard Thursday and could be vulnerable to more panic selling before the current correction is over. By looking at the charts, we can get a better idea of what may occur so that you can develop a plan based on data, not emotion.
The computer maker's moves hint at the end of an icon.
By Jeff Reeves, InvestorPlace.com
Back in 2006, Apple (AAPL) was riding high on the success of its iPod. The gadget accounted for more than 50% of first-quarter revenue that year as a digital music revolution was in full swing.
Now the iconic iPod is an afterthought, bringing in a mere 8% of Apple revenue -- and falling fast as other gadgets take over the digital jukebox role on top of many other functions.
So could Apple pull a page out of the Netflix (NFLX) handbook and voluntarily kill off a dying segment of its business? Would it make sense for Apple to refocus rather than just run the iPod into the ground?
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said we would not have another Lehman-caliber meltdown on our hands. But he never said there wouldn't be pain.
Does it do any good to say that the world is on the eve of another financial crisis, as I hear so many people saying? Does it do any good to catcall me for saying that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was just being upbeat and hopeful when he said there will be no more Lehmans?
No and yes. No, it does not do any good to proclaim we are on the eve of the next financial crisis, because it's the degree of crisis that matters. People seem to forget that the center almost didn't hold during 2008. It was only the destruction of trillions of dollars of capital that allowed us to bottom, with a tremendous number of financial institutions in this country being wiped off the face of the earth, including many that had been with us for some time, including Bear Stearns, Lehman Bros., Merrill Lynch, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and three reconstituted and quasi-nationalized companies -- General Motors (GM), American International Group (AIG) and Citigroup (C).
Are we going to get that kind of crisis? That's where the second point comes in, Geithner's point. There is a grave misconception about what Geithner told me last week and what I am reading, say, in the mocking Twittersphere.

After a negative September, the financial markets could get a bounce from a news turn in the right direction.
By all indications, the post-Fed market downturn is overdone.
Stocks and other risky assets dropped early and hard Thursday morning as a flood of sell-at-open trades knocked the major averages down. The fear, if I understand the bears' reasoning correctly, is that while the Federal Reserve announced a new $400 billion Operation Twist stimulus plan Wednesday, it was accompanied by a statement that there were "significant" downside risks to the economy. Not to sound trite, but duh!
We already knew this. There were indications of trouble as far back as mid-April as inflationary pressures raged. By now, the breakdown in consumer and business confidence and a slowdown in the labor market are well known. The fact that the central bank is acknowledging this -- and responding with new stimulus -- should be considered positive.
And there are plenty of other reasons that now is not the time for panic.

The former eBay chief will likely be named to lead Hewlett-Packard after the market closes. Here's why Whitman makes sense.
Are investors happy that Whitman is coming in or that HP is finally getting rid of CEO Leo Apotheker? Probably yes to both.
One analyst says the video-rental company may have split itself up to pave the way for an acquisition.
It's an amazing drop for the one-time market darling. And many observers are shaking their heads in disbelief, since this company normally executes flawlessly. Now its executives look like boneheads.
What happened to Netflix?
These major market areas are likely to continue to underperform. Use careful risk controls to avoid big losing positions.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
The late-in-session drop in the stock market after the Fed announcement was consistent with the deterioration in the technical outlook discussed yesterday. The McClellan Oscillator has broken below support, which makes a further drop very likely.
Three of the major sectors look most vulnerable to further selling and they are likely to underperform the S&P 500. Even though technology was also lower, it continues to show better relative performance, or RS analysis, which suggests the tech sector will hold above the August lows.
For the Select Sector SPDR - Energy (XLE), it is important to keep an eye on crude oil prices. As I have frequently pointed out, crude oil often leads the stock market on both the up and down side. November crude oil was down over $2 yesterday, and a break of key support would be a negative for the energy sector and stocks in general.
The Fed's latest maneuver may be bad for banks in the long term, but there are some defensive picks.
By Dan Freed, TheStreet
Wells Fargo (WFC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), SunTrust Banks (STI) and City National Corp. (CYN) are the banks best positioned for a flatter U.S. Treasury yield curve now that the Federal Reserve has flattened it in a move dubbed Operation Twist, according to a research report published Wednesday by Evercore Partners.
There had been widespread speculation that the Fed would perform Operation Twist -- which aims to raise short-term interest rates while pushing down long-term rates -- before the Fed officially announced the plan Wednesday. The hope is that the move will attract foreign capital while keeping financing costs low, the Evercore report stated before the Fed made the move official.
Overall, Operation Twist would be bad for banks in the long term because it would negatively affect net interest margins, which represent the difference between banks' cost of capital and what they can charge borrowers.
The chance of a market bounce is diminishing, but high-yield stocks will start to attract more money from long-term bonds.
Did anyone get the license plate of that truck? I think it was a vanity plate. I think it had the word "significant" on it. Because that's the word that the Fed inserted before the term "downside risk," a word that didn't exist in the Aug. 9 statement that jumped at you this time around.
So we get one of those old-time sell-offs, one that takes down not only the companies that do poorly when there is significant risk -- you know, the usual suspects they shoot every day when things are said to be bad, such as rails, chemicals, papers, minerals -- but also the "recession-rich" stocks -- new term -- the ones that make you rich if there is a recession.
Yep, it was an S&P 500 ($INX) jailbreak. Everyone is, indeed, selling everything. Didn't we see this before? Except then we were in better shape to handle it.
|Jim CramerTheStreetcom
The former eBay CEO was named chief of Hewlett-Packard Thursday afternoon. While she grew the auction site dramatically, cutting the fat at bloated HP will be a different challenge. Can she pull it off?
Can former eBay CEO Meg Whitman fix Hewlett-Packard?
HP's board named Whitman their new chief this afternoon, after two days of reports the move was imminent.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) shares soared as much as 10% Wednesday on rumors that the tech giant's board could be kicking chief executive Leo Apotheker to the curb, with Whitman waiting in the wings. Shares fell almost 5% on Thursday, a little worse than the market overall.
But don't be fooled -- this is just the latest dumb move at Hewlett-Packard, a company plagued not just by a revolving door in the corner office but by a glue-and-sticky-tape approach to its current ugly state of affairs.
Forget about Operation Twist. Next week's bond auction has the most potential to disrupt the markets.

Wish we were on a gold standard? Think again.
When you post any thoughts about gold, you're inevitably going to end up with some folks who bring up the currency issue. "Gold is a currency," they say. "Gold has been favored since the time T-Rex ruled supreme (the dinosaur, not the band)." And of course, "Gold is going up because our fiat money is being debased and rational people are doing the only thing that makes any sense by buying yellow metal."
One commenter, for instance, posited: "Gold is trading as a currency. Yes it could be somewhat overvalued today, and may fall back, but in 12 months it will be up against all fiat currencies that are clearly being devalued."
But here's the problem: If gold is acting like a currency, it's acting like a really, really bad one.
Amazon is finally making e-books for its Kindle reader available at libraries across the country.
Barnes & Noble (BKS) worked out a similar partnership for its Nook reader a long time ago, but Kindle users have been left out of the library loop. The deal won't immediately help Amazon's business, but it may eventually entice more people to buy the device if they can borrow books on it for free.
Here's how it works:
With Congress gridlocked, the central bank acts to keep the economic recovery on track.
The wait is over. Federal Reserve policymakers announced Wednesday that they are ready and willing to support the flagging economic recovery with another dose of monetary policy support.
Specifically, they will more directly target long-term interest rates by shifting the average maturity of the Fed's bond holdings by buying $400 billion worth of Treasury bonds with maturities over six years while selling an equal number of Treasury bills with maturities of three years or less. The move has been dubbed Operation Twist in honor of a similar action taken in the 1960s.
Essentially, they are taking money out of their left pocket and putting into the right, but the impact will still be positive, since it will push down the interest rates that price mortgage loans, car loans and other consumer credit.
Here's why the Fed did the right thing -- and what to expect next.

New landslip causing rail delays on trains between Eastleigh and Fareham
Updated 1:40pm Thursday 1st May 2014 in News By Michael Carr, Reporter
A railway line that was closed briefly has now been reopened after safety experts feared there was a landslip.
Trains between trains between Eastleigh and Fareham were replaced by buses after a problem with the track at Botley.
Journey times were extended by up to half an hour while Network Rail investigates the problem.
It comes just a month and a half after the railway line at Botley was reopened following three landslips hitting one mile of track in February which closed the line for more than six weeks.
That landslide was described by South West Trains as "one of the worst landslips ever seen on Britain's railways."
A South West Trains spokesman explained that the section of track that was inspected is not the same one that suffered the landslips earlier in the year.

KSP Post 1 Graduates Second Citizen's Police Academy
Date of News Release: 11/30/2010
(Grand Rivers, Ky.) - On Monday, November 29th, Kentucky State Police in Mayfield graduated its second Citizen's Police Academy. A graduation ceremony and banquet was held at Patti's 1880's Settlement in Grand Rivers, Kentucky. Eighteen citizens from across western Kentucky completed the academy which included in depth discussions of the day to day operations of the Kentucky State Police. The academy began on September 27th at the State Police post in Hickory. The remainder of the academy was held at the Marshall County Cooperative Extension Office in Benton. Participants took part in traffic stop scenarios, learned about crime scene investigation, and were immersed in specific disciplines of the Kentucky State Police. Graduates are currently taking part in a ride-a-long with a trooper during a shift. The 18 graduates represented communities in Caldwell, Calloway, Graves, Livingston, Lyon, Marshall, McCracken, and Trigg Counties. Each Kentucky State Police post conducts a Citizen's Police Academy each year. Kentucky State Police in Mayfield plan on beginning its third installment of the academy in the fall of 2011.

By Cade Fowler - bio | email LEE COUNTY, GA (WALB) – It was not a normal Wednesday afternoon for Direct TV technician Travis Davis.
"I was driving down the road going to my next call, and a gentleman from Dish Network flagged me down on the road," he said.
That's right. Dish Network. Technician Gino Williams was working outside 68-year-old Betty Pitree's North Philema Road home when it caught fire. He quickly jumped into action, trying to rescue the disabled woman in need of help.
"I was sitting in a chair and I couldn't move because I have Pariknsons," said a tearful Pitree.
She was in her wheel chair, helpless, as smoke and flames began filling her mobile home.
"The cable man, he got me and started running with me and I fell."
With little time to spare, Williams needed help. That's when he saw the competition driving down the road. But it didn't matter. This time the job was different. A life was on the line.
"It was full of smoke. You couldn't see anything. She was just yelling for help. Crying and screaming. We went in and got her," said Davis.
"They got me outside on the ramp. Then they got me up where they could get me out here in the yard," said Pitree.
Just seconds later, the house became engulfed in flames.
"We had heavy smoke and fire showing at the rear of the house. We made an interior attack with an inch and three quarters hose and went ahead and knocked it down," said Lee County Fire Lt. Coleman Williams.
The home her parents bought her years ago is now a complete loss. Her possessions are gone. But what Miss Pitree has is her life.
"I didn't know if I was going to live or not. But thank God, I'm here," she said.
Firefighters believes a candle started the fast spreading fire. And while Pitree was not seriously hurt, she was taken to a hospital to be checked out.
As for the two satellite technicians - were they guardian angels? Perhaps heroes going above and beyond the call of duty?
"Not really," said a smiling Davis. "Just doing what comes naturally."
No title necessary. Just two competitors coming together to save a life.

Yedda Morrison, girl scout nation (Displaced Press, 2008), 100 pp.; Marie Buck, Life & Style (Patrick Lovelace Editions, 2009), 54 pp.—How do you make a girl?

The deep relationship between baseball and language has been remarked many times, but rarely if ever has it been enacted in the writing itself. Kevin Varrone's Box Score is that enactment. Moment by moment, innings (as it were) of prose poems throw the ultimate linguistic eephus. Play by play wordplay struck by bits of ash verbal industry. No open-field poem can find the strike zone. It must go awry and in doing so presents a perfect game—rare but imaginable, and worth staying 'til the end.
Translations from Japanese by Jerome Rothenberg & Yasuhiro Yotsumoto
[The project to translate Nakahara Chuya into English continued recently (July 2014) with a meeting in Yamaguchi, Japan, of a number of interested poets & translators – plans to be announced.

Steve Dickison, Disposed (The Post-Apollo Press, 2007), 49 pp.; Erika Staiti, In The Stitches (Trafficker Press, 2010), 39 pp.—What is the significance of symmetry as a manifestation of proceduralism? This is one of the questions Dickison's book and Staiti's chapbook address in relation to private and public, personal and social, bodies. For Dickison, the penchant for writing is, as it was for a tradition preceding and succeeding Freud, inescapable from neuroses modified into acceptable behaviors. These are posed against another meaning of disposed, those "others" for whom English is a second language ("may I use please your phone to carry some speech?"), for whom law and order is meaningful force ("what brand of people come invested in/plastic handcuffs?"), so easily reduced to the noun (disposal), the excrement of the social.
City of New Westminster is one of several cities and municipalities comprising the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD), also called Metro Vancouver. Named by Queen Victoria in 1859 after her favourite part of London and hence nicknamed the Royal City, New Westminster was the first Canadian city West of the Great Lakes. The image above shows Poplar Island situated in the Fraser River, with New Westminster built on the West (left) bank of the river. Poet and activist Cecily Nicholson's second book of poetry, From the Poplars (Talon 2014), documents the history of this small depopulated island as traditional Qayqayt land, a former reserve, a smallpox quarantine zone, a ship-building site during the First World War, a base for the logging industry, now unused and lush with trees, in the present moment of the city's waterfront redevelopment to expand retail and residential space.

Silence and Solitude
Our Lady remained, silent, in adoration of her Son… and from the sanctuary of her Immaculate Heart a hymn of praise and thanksgiving rose up unceasingly to God.
— Columba Marmion
The Benedictine of Mary, Queen of Apostles, is "silent by vocation, articulate by mission." (Dom Hubert Van Zeller) To cultivate an atmosphere for prayer, we keep silent as we work.
This silence is broken only to ask questions or give instructions concerning work. Before one of us even asks a question, she first asks a blessing from her senior. The question, answer and or instruction is given briefly and quietly, then both return to silence.
To curtail talking, we make use of ancient Cistercian sign language. If a simple sign can be used, recollection is better preserved.
After Compline and until Prime the next day, the "Grand Silence" is maintained. All speech, except in cases of grave necessity, is forbidden at this time.
The Grand Silence is reserved especially for communication of the heart with God alone. The more one cultivates silence of heart, the more she is able "to be still and see that He is God."
Time for solitude and silent prayer is allotted within the times for Lectio Divina. This time is the fulcrum for prayerful recollection during the Office and Manual Labor.
In separation from the world, the Benedictines observe "constitutional enclosure," to facilitate our particular charism of availability to priests and necessary errands may be done while keeping an integrated community life.
We do not make "home visits," since the Priory is our home. Rather, our families may come visit us two times a year, and may visit by phone when one of the customary visits to the Priory is not possible.
The Sisters are permitted to receive mail, and write three letters each month outside of the penitential seasons of Advent and Lent.
