Release from the Stoughton Hospital:
Stoughton Area Medication Disposal and Sharps Collection
9:00am – 12noon Saturday, September 25, 2010 Stoughton Fire Department
Drive Through Service
Please join the Stoughton Wellness Coalition for the Stoughton Medication Disposal and Sharps Collection Program on Saturday, September 25, 2010 at the Stoughton Fire Department, 401 E. Main Street between the hours of 9:00am - noon.
-Convenient drive through service provided at the fire station
-Bring all medications in their original containers (if possible) – cross off personal information with a black marker
-Sharps must be dropped off in a registered sharps container or thick plastic laundry detergent bottle
-The Lions/Lioness will also be collecting used eye glasses and hearing aids
Unwanted and unused prescription and over the counter drugs can be found in most homes. If abandoned, these drugs pose a safety risk to children, teens and adults. If improperly disposed, they can also pose an environmental risk to surface water, ground water and drinking water. It is for these reasons the Stoughton Community Wellness Coalition, a partnership between the City of Stoughton, Stoughton Hospital and Stoughton Area School District, is hosting an event to provide a safe, environmentally friendly option to dispose of medications and sharps.
Past disposal recommendations included flushing drugs down a toilet or placing them in the trash – both methods potentially place our water supplies at risk. Trace levels of many drugs are being discovered in both surface waters and ground water. Research at the Marshfield Clinic and UW-Madison has indicated that pharmaceutical drugs are not usually inactivated in septic systems or wastewater treatment plants. Drug components can harm plants and animals that depend on these water resources. Current research has proven that there should be more concern expressed about the impact that these medications may have on the environment and the risk associated with exposure, including antibiotic resistance. In addition, disposing of medications in the trash increases access to medications by children and pets.
Safety of the public is another concern. Unused pharmaceutical drugs in a household pose a significant health risk for improper or illegal use by others. Even over-the-counter drugs (i.e., appetite suppressants, cold medications, etc.) have the potential to be lethal to children.
Medication disposal programs have demonstrated success in prevention or reduction of unintentional ingestion and overdose of medicine among children and teens, medication errors among the elderly, inappropriate use of medications, drug use, drug diversion from the home to the streets, and pollution of the environment. Safe collection of disposable sharps, needles and syringes, is also a community health concern.
For additional information please call Stoughton City Hall (608)873-6677.

The word periodontal literally means "around the tooth." Periodontal diseases, also called gum diseases, are serious bacterial infections that destroy the gums and the surrounding tissues of the mouth. If the inflammation is left untreated, the disease will continue and the underlying bone around the teeth will dissolve and will no longer be able to hold the teeth in place. Generally, periodontal disease isn't painful, so it is possible to have it and not be aware of it. A dentist specializing in periodontal disease is called a periodontist.
As with many other oral health diseases, bacteria and plaque buildup is often the culprit. In fact, plaque buildup (which contains many species of bacteria) is the leading cause of gum disease. Other factors that contribute to gum disease include:
The following are the most common signs and symptoms of gum disease. However, each individual may experience them differently. Signs and symptoms may include:
The signs and symptoms of gum disease may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Consult a dentist or other oral health specialist for a diagnosis.
The different types of periodontal disease are often classified by the stage the disease has advanced to at the time of evaluation, including:
Specific treatment for periodontal disease will be determined by your dentist based on:
Treatment may include any, or a combination of, the following:

Pipe-smoking story totally senseless
Your recent Life section cover story documented the rise in popularity of pipe smoking, complete with photos of a young woman "enjoying" lighting up and explaining how "appealing" it is to clean, pack and light a pipe. A sidebar covered how choosing your pipe tobacco is a "personal choice" like deciding on a coffee. It describes some varieties as having a flavor like "sweet oatmeal or caramel."
My images are different. Like watching my 49-year-old Dad die from nasopharyngeal cancer after being a pipe smoker. Or my friend's grandfather, who was never seen without his pipe until he had to have most of his lower jaw removed.
Shame on you for printing this senseless article!
DAVID HOLT, Hixson
Demand action to halt violence
As a citizen of Tennessee, I am writing my senators and congressman and demand that action be taken to prevent any more tragedies like the recent school killings. I implore all Americans to write or call our government representatives: Sen. Lamar Alexander, 455 Dirksen Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510, 202-224-4944; Sen. Bob Corker, 185 Dirksen Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510, 202- 224-3344; and Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, 511 Cannon House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515, 202- 225-3494, local 423-756-2342.
Agencies make payments difficult
I was a programmer during the '70s, '80s and '90s. This statement was the one I heard the most often that sent chills down my spine.
I set my bank account up to pay my property tax via EFT. On Thursday, I got a receipt from both the city of Chattanooga and Hamilton County. But one of the agencies had a history of two payments, and the other had lost a check, which was mailed, from the bank, on time.
Neither agency accepts EFT payments. "Snail Mail all the way!"
So they say "we have to raise taxes again." But they also have people making mistakes doing jobs which can be done completely hands-free. Receive the EFT, post the account and email my receipt. This is not rocket science.
Companies (which have to show a profit) do it every month. And yet I was advised by the bank that it was safer to "snail mail" a check to the government. Business licenses are done much the same.
Fill out a form and mail in a check.
My question: Why, why, why?
'Demand action to halt violence'
Regarding gun control, please consider this:
History/Experience has shown that when evil, deranged individuals
decide to commit mass murder...they will find a way. I recently
heard a comment (paraphrase): "Take away their guns, and, they will
create a many-times more grotesque/bizzare scene with their butcher knives."
Not really, ORRMEANSLIGHT, besides, the real issue of gun violence is not the singular individuals, no matter how much media attention they get while the far more common problems are ignored.
STEVEN SMITH, actually, there's a simple legal reason for it. No organized system of responsibility and if there's one thing we've demanded from our government, it's accountability.
And the idea of a government-run payment system ran into opposition from the financial industry who hated the thought of losing their opportunity to skim profits.
Hi lkeithlu,
Believe it, or, not, You truly bring a sense of comfort to me. You bring me back to a gentler, easier, more secure place of intellectual endeavor. I do have some morning chores, inasmuch as I've had a very painful flu, and, I've gotten behind on things. I will go back to the reading list and report back this afternoon via our Times Free Press Comment Section!
OML, I would like for you to describe how a person armed with butcher knives could even come close to the severity and magnitude of death and destruction that someone can do who is armed with a repeating automatic or semi-automatic weapon. Are there automatic and semi-automatic butcher knives that I don't know about? Actually, you say that they would create not just a comparable scene of destruction but "a many-times more grotesque/bizzare scene with their butcher knives." For sure, a person with a butcher knife could slice, dice, and carve a person up more grotesquely but it would take considerable time and effort to do so and in the meantime someone could subdue him and prevent him from attacking others. In the same span of time that an attacker was busy killing one or two people with a knife or knives, twenty or more would be killed and seriously injured with an automatic weapon. But maybe I just lack a vivid enough imagination to picture such a "grotesque/bizarre" scenario with butcher knives. I'm curious and eager to know. Enlighten me.
Regarding Professor Jared Diamond, well, he left something out regarding the so-called 'Third Chimpanzee'. There is an entirely different number of chromosomes within humans than within chimpanzees. Therefore, no, 'nota', none! N0 possibility of procreation between the two. Also, Ikeithlu, to utterly destroy the theory/intent of the Homininae concept, the very genetic materials of the human and chimpanzee is severely unmatched/different. Therefore, no, 'nota', none! N0 possibility of procreation between the two. Evolution in reverse! kwo
Your Turn.......Oh, how do You like Isaac Asimov's works?
In a way, it is about the numbers, one, and, past one, in another way it is not. One murder is too many, period! So, the shock value, sick fame, sick legacy is what these monsters seek. Members of the United States Military have committed more of these atrocities than any other part of society. Maybe, even law enforcement authorities have committed many. So, if we take the guns away from the U.S. Military and Police Forces...then, when any of them go berserk they can only use a pocket knife. capiche? kwo
Ken Orr,
"There is an entirely different number of chromosomes within humans than within chimpanzees."
"N0 possibility of procreation between the two."
No one is suggesting that the two could procreate.
"the very genetic materials of the human and chimpanzee is severely unmatched/different."
"N0 possibility of procreation between the two."
No one is suggesting the two could procreate. That isn't how evolution works. Speciation is a part of evolution. The fact that the two species cannot produce viable offspring is just another proof of speciation and evolution.
"Evolution in reverse!"
Nope, just evolution. You are patently ignorant. There is no arguing with you. You are an idiot. You haven't the slightest clue about evolution or biology/physics/chemistry/genetics/etc.
Ken Orr,
"So, if we take the guns away from the U.S. Military and Police Forces...then, when any of them go berserk they can only use a pocket knife. capiche?"
Seriously, is there something wrong with you? No one can be as ignorant, illogical, stupid, dense, moronic, etc. ad infinitum as you are. How do you get around in your daily life without getting injured or hurting others? You are the most ignorant person I have ever come across in my entire life. I'm not exaggerating either. Every one of your posts contain the most fallacious, ignorant, dishonest, illogical, unreasonable, monomaniacal, stupid statements I've ever see in print.
Rick The same day as the sandy hook nightmare a man in china, where they have much stricter gun control laws , killed 24 innocent children with a butcher knife.
Sandy You are correct. We need to do more to stop violence . We need to end this foolish gunfree zone nonsense that lets deranged people commit such atrocities without fear of someone defending the children. We should strengthen the school resource officer program and we should offer training to teachers and princeples to both use firearms to protect the children and ways to do so without using them.
We also need to do more to control the mental disabled. If they are a threat they should be detained and evealuated.
We can also quit agrandizing these people by plastering every gory detail of them and their act all over the tv 24/7. It is time we quit making them famous.
KWO...Capiche? Not hardly! As usual you don't make a lick of sense. Regardless of what the monsters who perpetrate the murders "seek" there is a huge difference between killing one or two people and a killing spree of 20 or more. While one victim is certainly too many, there are over 20 other lives that could have been spared if the perpetrator had been armed only with knives and the killing were limited to one or two; and countless more parents and friends and siblings would not be grieving for the loss of their little loved ones now. You still have not explained how a person armed with knives could do more "grotesque/bizarre" damage than someone with an arsenal of guns or even one semi-automatic weapon in the same time frame. And you cannot explain it because your claim is utter nonsense.
Rick The report I read said fatalities. they may hace changed it since. The fact does remain that the attack happened and not one law could have prevented it. The Sandy hook dirtbag broke many many laws. More laws will not stop aomeone like him. Certainly restricting the rights of others will not.
"The fact does remain that the attack happened"
Big difference between 0 dead with a butcher knife and 27 dead with a gun.
"not one law could have prevented it."
Laws and the threat of the law does prevent a lot of bad things from happening.
"More laws will not stop aomeone like him."
How do you know? Did you do a trial run?
"Certainly restricting the rights of others will not."
Nothing is being proposed or advocated that would restrict the rights of anyone. You still get to keep your guns. Sleep easy knowing that fact.
Sorry, Ken Orr, I should have suggested you learn some Biology and Geology before reading Diamonds book, as you had NO idea what he wrote. Let's try again: Read Miller's text Biology and find a basic geology text (I can recommend a few) to lay the ground work. Your ability to understand what you read is still too poor. From there do David Montgomery's The Rocks Don't Lie. Miller's book Only A Theory would be a good second step.
I should slap your high school science teachers. They did a poor job.
not one law could have prevented it.
Actually, you are right. But one law could have reduced the death toll: a law that prohibits the public from owning high capacity magazines for semi-automatic weapons. Even gun-rights GOP members are saying that it is time for such laws.
lkeithlu said... "I should slap your high school science teachers. They did a poor job."
I suggest it was the other way around. The teachers had a poor student who has remained a poor student his entire life. He's proved time and again his ignorance, bigotry, and anti-scientific approach to life. He is the Dark Ages incarnate.
"But one law could have reduced the death toll: a law that prohibits the public from owning high capacity magazines for semi-automatic weapons. "
Maybe, or maybe not. The soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force in WW1 could fire as many as 20 rounds a minute from a single shot rifle. The average soldier could do 12 to 15. Again, these were single shot rifles. Revolvers and magazine fed pistols and rifles can be reloaded pretty darn fast regardless of magazine capacity.
I would far rather see all this angst and energy directed at the mental health issues and the dismal circumstances around them. I would include why known issues can't be considered during the NICS check at purchase. Privacy laws currently in place have to be adjusted somehow. More knee-jerk, feel good legislation passed by grandstanding politicos like Feinstein will be every bit as effective as the last AWB which is to say not at all.
If I may, let me suggest something you might find enlightening (if you have the interest)
"On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society" by Dave Grossman. I think you might find it enlightening . It certainly gave me pause especially considering the role of today's media, including but not limited to, video games.
Sailorman, I agree in part with you. The reduction (notice I did not say "prevention") of these acts is multi-dimensional. I am sure that the shooter in this case was a) skilled because he spent time with his mom practicing on a range but b) not highly skilled because he had not been trained by the military. Even gun enthusiasts agree that 3 rounds before reloading is adequate in hunting and in self-protection. The banning of high capacity magazines is only part. A kid like this one had issues-issues with attachment, issues socially. He should have not been trained to shoot. Period. But pinpointing the pathology that would result in such an act is almost impossible. The best you can do is make sure that anyone with anti-social behavior cannot get a gun. That means background checks that includes input from local law enforcement, who must intervene when there is a threat of violence in the home.
Such a person that commits an act like this is developmentally abnormal. Not necessarily treatable either. No drugs can "install" a conscience. But every person who commits such a crime has been noticed as being different: anti-social, unable to connect, violent, etc.
By the way, I have and have read Grossman's book. My spouse is a psychologist and is very interested in the connection between crime, prison population, and mental illness.
I'll disagree with the gun enthusiasts about the 3 round issue in this sense. Three is plenty for hunting. If you need more than that, what you really need is to get out of the woods and go practice. For self defense, there is no such thing as "too much". Other than that, we're fairly well in agreement. I have to wonder what people what people like Lanza would do if no firearm was available.
I would be interested in your opinion of Grossman's book. I found it - well, disturbing would be apt I think.
Sailorman, May I suggest that your statement about the British infantryman of WW1 is incorrect. In 1907 the Brits adopted the Lee-Enfield bolt action, 10 shot magazine fed .303 as their weapon of choice.
In the hands of the well-trained infantryman, it was successfully fired at 10-15 rpm. It was typically fed through the receiver using 5 round chargers, or loaded one at a time.
It was, however, so fast in firing by a trained rifleman, that Germans who used the 5 round 8mm Mauser, thought the Tommys were using semi-automatic rifles.
The .303 Enfield Rifle remained the rifle of the British Army through WW2 until 1957.
I have a WW1 Enfield manufactured in 1917, and a American-made Savage Enfield rifle made for the Brits as part of the Lend-Lease program before America's entry in 1941.
They are superb rifles, both used in France during two separate world wars.
Your recommendation of David Grossman's book is excellent. Gen. S.L.A. Marshall's study of the reluctance of trained combat soldiers to fire at the enemy, though later somewhat discredited in the numbers Gen. Marshall suggested, still remains a valid point in the distasteful taking of human life, even enemy combatants.
Regards, Dayton
After You read my comment, will You please go to this link? I have posted a YouTube video regarding newspaper commenting. I do hope it will be entertaining/informative/enjoyable.
Now, my comment.
Not even the most primitive Aboriginal Australian individual has statistically significant genetic similarities to chimpanzees. I learned about speciation before most of you were even born (no arrogance intended). I have continued to add to my knowledge of the same. You have about as much chance to identify a human that can interbreed with a chimpanzee as you do in finding a cure or prevention for HIV/AIDS. Jesus Christ created each species to be what they are. Don't try to be a great ape just so you can be immoral! God is not mocked. "Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap." Be a human. kwo
Ken Orr,
"Not even the most primitive Aboriginal Australian individual has statistically significant genetic similarities to chimpanzees."
"I learned about speciation before most of you were even born (no arrogance intended)."
No, you didn't. You may have heard of the word but you sure as hell didn't learn anything.
"I have continued to add to my knowledge of the same."
Not at all. You do not own one shred of factual knowledge about anything involving science.
"You have about as much chance to identify a human that can interbreed with a chimpanzee as you do in finding a cure or prevention for HIV/AIDS."
No one is suggesting the two could procreate. That isn't how evolution works. Speciation is a part of evolution. The fact that the two species cannot produce viable offspring is just another proof of speciation and evolution. You have said this three times now and it is still as ignorant as the first time. You are an idiot.
Their is a prevention for HIV/AIDS. They are called condoms. Doctors and scientists basically have a cure as well. Have you ever heard of Magic Johnson? You're so patently ignorant about the simplest things. It's unbelievable that a human being can be as ignorant as you are.
"Jesus Christ created each species to be what they are."
"Don't try to be a great ape just so you can be immoral!"
Humans don't have a choice and morals are relative. No reasonable, logical person tries to us that as any argument. Only charlatans like Kent Hovind say ignorant stuff like that. You fit the same mold.
"God is not mocked."
Pardon my french but F U C K you and your god. Your imaginary god is mocked by the second. Nature mocks your god.
"Be a human."
Humans don't have any other choice in being what they are. You should try to use that big brain that humans have evolved over millions of years instead of letting it go to waste.
Seriously, is there something wrong with you? No one can be as ignorant, illogical, stupid, dense, moronic, etc. ad infinitum as you are. How do you get around in your daily life without getting injured or hurting others? You are the most ignorant person I have ever come across in my entire life. I'm not exaggerating either. Every one of your posts contain the most fallacious, ignorant, dishonest, illogical, unreasonable, monomaniacal, stupid statements I've ever see in print.
'He could have murdered all of them, but, he decided to just "cut them up a little."
A man stabbed 22 primary school students in a knife attack in China on Friday, officials said, the latest in a series of assaults. The attacker "has been detained", said a spokesman for the Guangshan county government in the central province of Henan, where the stabbing happened.
If China had just taken this deranged person's guns away, then, heaven knows, he could never have stabbed the children! Mental Giants on the loose.......
Ken Dumbass,
"Twenty-two elementary school students were stabbed, so was an adult villager" but none of the victims died, the official, who declined to give his name, told AFP.
You strategically omitted the number of deaths in this attack. Why is that? I bet I know! The quote included was also in that story. Big difference between 0 dead with a knife and 27 dead with a gun.
"If China had just taken this deranged person's guns away, then, heaven knows, he could never have stabbed the children!"
If he had shot them, they would all likely be dead.
Can you really not grasp the idea that a person is more deadly with a gun than a knife? Are you really trying to argue against that fact? Are you insane? Seriously, is there something wrong with you that would make you believe these highly illogical, nonsensical things and then argue them?
"Mental Giants on the loose......."
No, seriosuly, you are a mental midget. The tiniest of mental midgets. You literally just quadrupled-down on one of the must ridiculous assertions I've ever read. You are an absolute and utter moron.
Ken: Humans and Chimpanzees are similar enough to be in the same GENUS. Not species. You know the difference? If not, back to basic Bio for you. Diamonds argument is not that humans and chimps can interbreed, it is that chimps and humans are so closely related that they belong in the same genus. Either they are Homo or we are Pan. The original classifications did not use genetics-DNA comparisons are changing how we classify groups of animals. My own avatar is a good example: the various lemurs have been reclassified based on the DNA studies done in the 90's, regrouping the animals. splitting the genus Lemur into several genus names such as Lemur, Eulemur and Varecia. Some 'separate' species have been shown to be the same, only color variants.
Humans are related through DNA to all living creatures. We share 40% of our DNA with bananas for heavens sake.
Back to class with you, my dear boy. Either you learn enough to comment correctly on this issue or your opinion means nothing.
I find it a little weird, but not very surprising that Ken can't even discuss genetics without immediately thinking about having sex with the subject..
A student of abnormal psychology could spend years in the study of his stunted mind, far beyond the textbook symptoms he would clearly exhibit in initial assessments.
I'm tellin' ya, hide yo kids, hide yo pets, hide yo wallets! Here comes holy rollin' Ken the "tickle monster", to charm from you a tithe and eagerly "care" for the vulnerable among you.
The major focus of supporters of current evolution fads is to deny Jesus Christ as their Creator. The reason I repeatedly go back to the fact that monkeys and humans cannot procreate is that it proves that Jesus created monkeys, and, that Jesus created people. I will never understand why any person would want to be a monkey...except that they could be immoral with impunity. kwo
Hey dao1980,
Thanks for not giving me the silent treatment. At least you recognize that i exist.
Ken, did you even read my comment? If so, why did you ignore it? If not, why not? You want to participate in a conversation about a topic and yet refuse to get any part of that topic correct. I am now wondering about either your stability or your integrity. Enlighten me here.
Ken Orr,
"The major focus of supporters of current evolution fads is to deny Jesus Christ as their Creator. "
Evolution isn't a fad. It's a fact. Also, Jesus didn't create humans. He isn't even said to have created humans in your own Bible. Again, you're an idiot.
"The reason I repeatedly go back to the fact that monkeys and humans cannot procreate is that it proves that Jesus created monkeys, and, that Jesus created people."
It does not prove that WHATSOEVER. Monkeys and humans SHOULD NOT be able to procreate. They are separate species. The fact that monkeys and humans cannot procreate is evidence of speciation, which is evidence for evolution. YOU ARE PATENTLY IGNORANT AND ABNORMALLY ILLOGICAL.
"I will never understand why any person would want to be a monkey"
Who wants to be a monkey? Humans are not monkeys, you stupid bastard. What part of that do you not understand? Humans EVOLVED from apes. It's a scientific fact. There is no disputing it.
"except that they could be immoral with impunity."
Humans can be immoral without impunity. It happens everyday and has since the dawn of time. You are a great example of that. Your homophobia goes unpunished and is even encouraged by your religion. That's being immoral without impunity to the highest degree. Your statement is false. I'd also like to point out that monkeys aren't immoral. They are monkeys. There are no such things as monkey morals. Only humans can be immoral. We are the only species on earth that has the cognitive ability to even grasp ideas like morals. Saying that evolution gives someone the ability to be immoral is like saying being a polar bear gives you the right to be racist. It's nonsensical.
You believe humans were made from dirt. Scientifically literate people believe humans evolved from other hominids. You have no proof. Scientifically literate people have TONS of proof of evolution.
You are ignorant. You embrace ignorance and argue in favor of it. You are truly a fool. Your whole life is a lie. If there was a god, it would surely be ashamed that you wasted your entire life believing verifiable lies. You are a charlatan in every sense of the word and no one, I repeat, NO ONE should ever take you seriously.
I truly believed that my comment was a response to what You said. I thought so. kwo
Nope-you just repeated your misconceptions about sex between monkeys and humans. Bad Ken. You need to learn more. I suspect you have no idea about the concepts or even the vocabulary. Evolution is not a "fad". Species, genus, genome, classification, telomere, these terms have specific meaning. I can't decide if you lied about reading Diamond's book, or that your background in the science is so poor you didn't understand any of it. I hope it is the latter, as I would hope that you are not dishonest. I found your comment to be shockingly ignorant.

Nemmers Prize Winner Awarded Nobel Prize
Jean Tirole, the current holder of the Nemmers Prize, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics on October 13, 2014. Tirole, a professor at the Toulouse School of Economics, was recognized for his work on regulating large firms with market power. He will be visiting Northwestern in Spring Quarter 2015, presenting a public lecture, and participating in a conference on another aspect of his work concerning liquidity, bubbles and crises. The Nemmers Prize is a biennial honor bestowed on an outstanding economist who has yet to win the Nobel Prize. However, as with Daniel McFadden in 2000, Professor Tirole won the Nobel Prize subsequent to his awarding of the Nemmers Prize but before his visit to Northwestern. Seven of the eleven holders of the Nemmers Prize were subsequently honored as Nobel Laureates. More information on the Nemmers Prize can be found here.

Segmented polystyrene (PS) and poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) nanofibers were fabricated by wetting nanoporous alumina templates with multilayered polymer thin films. The order and thickness of the polymers within the thin films affected the resulting nanofiber morphology, PS and PMMA segment properties, and created unique core-shell structure in the PMMA segments. The core-shell structure suggests a complex wetting phenomenon. Fabrication of polymer nanostructures by wetting of layered thin films opens the arena of multifunctional, one-dimensional, polymer nanostructures with segments having individual and specific functionalities.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, has received good grades from politicians and even some survivors of the storm. In part, that's due to lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina seven years ago.
For Staten Island resident Deb Smith, whose house was flooded by the storm surge from Sandy, FEMA has been a savior.
"What a hell of an organization. I got on the phone with them yesterday, I got my claim number in already, the guy said he's going to call me in a couple of days," she says. "He's going to come out and estimate, and they said, listen what ever doesn't work they're going to help us put stuff in storage."
The reviews are almost as glowing from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and other local officials in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. They've praised FEMA for being prepared before the storm and responsive immediately afterwards — two things the agency was not when Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast in 2005.
FEMA's Post-Katrina Makeover
"FEMA is a very different organization than it was during Katrina," says Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.
Lieberman chairs the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which helped spur post-Katrina reforms at the agency. Those changes, Lieberman says, have proved themselves during Sandy.
"[FEMA] was proactive, and it didn't used to be. It doesn't wait for the storm to hit, it pre-positions personnel, equipment, food supplies, water, etc.," he says.
FEMA had hundreds of thousands of liters of bottled water, along with millions of meals, cots and blankets stockpiled, which were moved into the region ahead of Sandy.
The agency also had President Obama sign disaster declarations before the details of those disasters were fully known. Lieberman says that was important, too, to start the money flowing immediately to local governments and survivors.
"You used to have to fill out a lot of paperwork to get eligibility for disaster assistance from the president. Today, they're being much more commonsensical about it," he says.
Federal officials say FEMA has some $3.6 billion in its Disaster Relief Fund and billions more available in other accounts, if needed. It has already begun spending that money. Some $19 million has gone out to storm victims to pay for temporary housing.
Cutting Through The Bureaucracy
The good reviews of FEMA extend to the agency's leader, administrator Craig Fugate. Fugate was tapped by Obama to head the agency after leading Florida's Emergency Management department. That experience is key, says James Kendra, who heads the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware.
"FEMA really benefits from having an administrator who's very well-versed in the science of disaster, who's very familiar with the disaster research," Kendra says, "and because he himself comes from a fire and first response background, has a very high regard for first responders and for the value of local-level initiatives."
Fugate has brushed off praise of his agencies performance, saying he won't be satisfied until everybody who needs housing assistance has it and the power's back on. Barry Scanlon, a former FEMA official who is now president of disaster management consulting firm Witt Associates, says keeping the bureaucracy at bay will be the true test of FEMA's performance.
"The president came out forcefully the other day and said, 'I do not want any red tape, I don't want any bureaucracy,' and hopefully that spirit of partnership and people working together quickly will stay through the recovery phase," he says. "That's not always the case."
Officials know all too well the reviews of FEMA are likely to become less glowing with each day that passes that the lights remain out and people like Smith can't move back into their homes.

Paladins do shine on this fight though.
Printable View
I notice in the video your tanks reposition him after each whirlwind phase more or less back into his original spot.
How important is it to do this? Is it necessary? Couldn't a raid just pick him up where he stops and readjust the raid's positioning to him?
I ask this because for my raid he was very 'jerky' when we tried to reposition him (lots of 'move and stop, move and stop'), which led to some threat issues.
Actually I think our problem was a third: healers needing to divide their attention to other raid members getting damage. If one of them gets spiked at that point there's only one healer left on the tanks and that's not enough.
For example, we were quickly aware of the aggro wipe after bone storm, but I think people assumed we could taunt him back. So people got aggro and lots of damage from that (if they were lucky).
Another problem was people taking cover behind the tanks, which meant we had to dodge cold flame as well and dodge in the same direction too of course. The flames caused quite a bit of chaos, they appeared and moved a lot faster and more frequent than we had expected.
We'll probably fare better once we get a better grasp of the encounter.
Come to think of it, we didn't have 3 paladins at any given time... We started with a pala and a shaman, then got help from a druid when the shaman left (couldn't handle the wiping) and added a third (pala) healer in the end. It's been a bit of a confusing night, heh.
That said, I don't think holy pala's are a guarantee to get through this fight. Other classes should fare similarly. It all comes down to gear and talent choices if Blizzard balanced things out correctly. I don't think a bias on pala's would be fair to the other healer classes.
You're probably right that the pala's big heals match up well with Morrowgar's big hits on the tanks, but for example hots should help a lot in reducing overall raid damage from people getting hit by flames or bone storm.
As a side question, how many of the people who were successful in defeating him in 10-man are in full or nearly full ToTC-25 gear?
We only recently lost our strict 10-man status on guildox, so we're mostly in ToTC-10 and Ulduar-10 gear. I remember that Ulduar-10 was almost impossible for us too the first few weeks it was available (especially Razorscale and Kologarn), it wouldn't surprise me if IC-10 suffers from the same problem. I recall reading on wow.com that over-geared people caused a problem tuning the 10-man instances on the PTR back then.
To a degree i would agree with you about the gear Haramrae. Whilt obviously not required it does allow for more mistakes to be made and then recovered from. The 2 tanks i linked are porbably repsentative of most of my 10man guild, i.e. some 25man gear from pugging ToC25 but also some TOC10 and even older stuff also.
I wouldn't worry about raid damage to much. Just make sure your dps are quick to react to both the fires and the spikes. I found bone storm to require negligible healing, just make sure everyone keeps running around.
I would say pala/shammy would probably be the best 2man healer team for the fight, we did 3 heal though oouselves.
We got the instagibs after bone storm onour first try, i just had the tanks run after him and conitinue attacking through bone storm on our next attempt. Blowing your CDs when you pick him back up again also allows for both you and your healers to reposition a bit.
We did feel all the encounters went down very quickly, maybe because we 2 healed everything.
Is an easy fight, tho we had big issues ,last night, once we figure it out how to handle the Bone Storm phase, our main issue was tank deaths, I was pretty much 1 shooted every everytime i picked him up again after the WW, if not me one of the OT died and was the same thing our stam is decent, 50k each, dodge after the 20% dodge debuff is like 8-9% and parry/block is about 19-23% average.
How many healers should be on each tank? we had 4 healing us (2 on MT 1 on each OT) 1 healing raid and 2 healing Bone Spikes and raid when not. Is that enough?
He hits 17-18k on a tank, the bone storm does ~1200 on plate and 2k+ on cloth, average.
This fight is exactly a mix of Koralon and Leotheras WW phase. Is not hard at all, and tank dmg is not extremely high but is very constant.
Ok so I looked everywhere I could but I can't find a list of what UI Kanzer is using in this movie. I am really only interested in the one that scrolls his debuff countdown across the screen. Thanks in advance for the help.
thank i appriciate it
Struggled a bit tonight on 10 man, after 5 or so wipes we got him down.
Our tanks were taking LOTS more damage than I expected, upwards of 60k damage each (120k total) within a 5 second period. Just very, very tough for our healers to heal through (Shaman, Druid & Disc Priest).
Just didn't seem like "just heal more" or "bring a paladin or two" should have to be part of the strategy here.
We did him yesterday on 10-man. 2-shot, easy fight.
He is taunt immune as people have mentioned, and he will stress out the healers with people getting spiked.
We only had 2 ranged - 3 ranged would have been better for spikes.
Melee damage can safely stand inside the targeting circle and avoid flames.
There is no need to reposition him, but tanks need to be quick to pick him up. Our paladin used frisbee after each bonestorm.
It helps on the transitioning between phase 2 and phase 1, if the tanks use their cooldowns. Then the healers can reposition, if they are caught in an unlucky position because of fires.
Our raid setup was:
Warrior Tank, Paladin Tank
2x DK dps, Ret pally
Balance druid, Arcane mage
Holy pally, Disc priest, Holy priest.
Can some1 please tell me the name of that addon in ur UI! It's in background of your chat, spels and recount, like a blood stain :DDDD plzzzzzz tell me the name of it :DDD wanna download it ^__^
I think if your tanks were taking that much damage, it's likely they were standing in fire, or very undergeared, or not using armor potions, or a combination of all of the above.
We tried this on 10 man. Two tanks were just taking to much dmg, expecially if a healer got spiked. We tried three tanks second time but the third tank just didnt seem to take dmg. Anyway im looking for confirmation on whether or not three tanks work on 10man.
After wiping all night Wednesday, we killed him on the 2nd pull last night and were rewarded with zero tank loots, just a bunch of caster garbage :( Note: we're a social/casual guild that raids so our issues will be different than some but probably most people needing advise are in our boat.
The biggest issues for us was the obvious, not getting people off spikes quickly enough and consistantly and positioning. His big, nasty cleave just doesn't seem to discriminate and hits the MT and two other people in front of him. I've seen times when all three tanks were having a group hug and the priest standing 10 yards behind us keels over dead on a Saber Lash. Getting people to GTFO the way and not stand there when he stops Bone Storming and we have to drag him back to the center of the room.
No, he cannot be taunted. You just have to be ready to unload on him as soon as he breaks out into phase 1 again. The DBM timer seems to be off by a good 3-5 seconds and he's 'live' before the timer winds down. I try to make my first two globals a SS and a Conc and slowly back him into the center. The tanks have got to learn to 'dance', making their moves at the same time.
All I can think of at the moment.
Interestingly we had a TON of problems on 10 man ... and 2 shot 25 man.
It took us 6 attempts. Our major problem was that the tank with aggro was taking the whole Saber Lash damage while the OT even though they were standing on top of me, was taking none.
We finally brute healed through it...but I was asking around and one of the other 2 groups our guild ran that night had the same problem. They managed to figure it out though :) This sounds plausible:
Since Lord M's hit box is so big, if the tanks are too close to him, the second tank is treated like he's behind (kinda of ala Prince M in Kara...often if belf pallies tanked him close to the wall he could attack you from behind even though he was in front) and as such won't get the saber lash. So, they positioned him...the OT took a few steps back...and the problem ceased.
I wasn't there, so I don't know firsthand what that looked like, but will be trying it next reset.
Any way to lower damage coming in to tanks? Tried this last night on 25 with myself (a paladin) and two warriors tanking, both the warriors would die pretty often (one is really a dps with a 232+ tanking offset). I had 11% (49.5 vs 38.3 and 36.5 avgs) higher avoidance for sabre lashes, but switching me from MT to an OT and moving our worst geared tank to MT (a la patchwerk) seemed to help on the damage going out. Is there any reason to believe that this was actually what was happening or was it just coincidence?
I've been through logs over and over and over and there are times where our worst geared tank would get insta-gibbed via 3 18k sabre lashes. Healing was an issue as we were using 6, and one of our pallys was under 3k hps. I think it's more of a healing philosophy issue than anything.
Anyway so my question is, is there any patchwerk trend people found, something that would cause OTs to have a chance of taking higher spikes?

1962 Dodge Dart 440 convertible
I'm working on a 1962 Dodge Dart 440 convertible. Many people think the "440" is an advertisement of engine displacement, but in this case, it was a model designation (along the lines of 330, 880, and so on).
This vehicle was purchased brand new by my maternal grandfather. While this particular body style is a "love it or hate it", he was drawn to the uniqueness of this peculiar car. He drove the car from Ohio to Oklahoma and back, and used it as a daily driver the entire time he owned it. When the car was out west, a salesman from a local dealership approached my grandfather and asked if he would be interested in selling the car. The salesman was also drawn to the radical styling, but my grandfather wasn't sacrificing the Dart.
In 1964, my grandfather passed away suddenly. My grandmother kept the car, and drove it until 1966. At that time, she parked the car, and it became one of those "barn cars" we all read about.
In the early 1980s, my dad and I decided to try to restore the car. We thought it would be a nice thing to for my mom, and that it would make a really good father/son project. As the car sat idle, my oldest brother used the car as a fort. He damaged the majority of the chrome, destroyed nearly every body panel, and cut the interior. We scoured junkyards for parts every weekend, even going out of state in search of rare body panels, chrome, a gauge cluster, and so on.
We found most of the pieces we needed, and my dad had a buddy rebuild the old 318 poly shortblock. We were glad to accept the help that was offered, but in hindsight, it was a huge mistake. The engine rebuild went horribly wrong. The body work was mediocre at best, although it was performed by "a professional". And the paint is only so good as what's underneath, which isn't much.
For years, we tried to crack the case of the shaking, smoking 318 poly. My dad eventually gave up on it, and when he fell ill, the car continued to sit in the garage. He passed away in 1998, and never got to see the car for what it should have been.
My mom continued to keep the car in her garage. It didn't take much convincing for her to tell me to take the car and see if I could figure out the issues. The first thing I did was remove that possessed-by-evil 318 poly. Rather than delve into the original shortblock, I decided to buy a new rebuilt 318 poly. I removed everything from the engine bay, and spent weeks cleaning off 25 years worth of filth before painting each piece. I also tried to shine up the finish, which had become a bit shabby after being used as a makeshift storage shelf for so many years. I really wanted to keep with the period-correct theme, so I chose American Racing Salt Flat Special wheels and kept everything else factory original. The car itself has a mere 52,000 miles on it, so I never had to worry about rust, or any other weather-sustained damage.
It was amazing to actually drive that car and see it move under it's own power for the first time since I was a child. It was almost like connecting with the grandfather I never had the chance to meet, while finishing a project started by my dad and I, and bringing a smile to my mother's face all at the same time. The difference is night and day, but now that I resurrected the beast, I want more.
The plan is to keep the car as close to something that came out of 1962 as possible. That being said, the 318 is something I'm choosing to eliminate in favor of a Big Block 440 based stroker. I'll miss the push-button 727 torq-flite, but I think the addition of a manual trans will help with the grief. I'll have the interior reupholstered with material as close as possible to the original, and this time, I'm going to tackle the body work myself. Once the hard part is finished, I want a paint job so stellar it looks like you could swim in it.
They say the Dart has a face only a mother could love. But to me, it's one of the finest examples of automotive design in existence. The design itself was so far ahead of its time that people just weren't ready for it. But to those who truly do have an appreciation for chrome, fins, and lines to die for, this car is the pinnacle. And being one of 3166 made in 1962, I seriously doubt I'll ever have to worry about pulling into a car show and having three just like it parked in the vicinity.

The text of the news release:
Outrageous Pittsburgh Police News Release Harms Public as well as Reporters
The outrageous behavior of Pittsburgh Police officials toward two enterprising reporters is not only an insult to the journalists' professionalism, it is an assault on the public's right to know.
As the union representing U.S. journalists, including the two aggrieved Post-Gazette reporters, we are increasingly disturbed by police actions across the country that attempt to crack down on journalists' access to information, which is, in fact, the public's access to information.
On one end of the spectrum, we are seeing more frequent arrests and threats of arrest of photojournalists, in particular. Even private citizens report being threatened by police and having their cameras or cell phones confiscated for legally recording a traffic stop or police incident.
In the Pittsburgh case, police officials abused their power a different way. But the intent was the same: to punish and intimidate reporters who dared to demand answers to important questions.
Jonathan Silver and Liz Navratil wrote a polite, professional email to the department's public information officer about a New Years' homicide/suicide and the police response to it. The email described what the reporters knew about the incident, followed by a detailed series of questions. Their response came via press release sent to 200 reporters: The chief's office would be making no statement about the investigation.
Instead, police attached the full transcript of Silver and Navratil's email and all of their questions, revealing the extent of the reporters' own investigation.
This unconscionable breach of professional ethics by the chief's office and the public information officer was not just an attempt to ruin a "scoop" for two reporters, it was an attempt to derail any communication between reporters and police beyond what officials offer at staged news conferences.
How well our democracy functions depends on the hard work and the courage of reporters – watchdogs -- such as Silver and Navratil.
We hope the police department's behavior will backfire and that the public -- now armed with the long list of questions the reporters prepared – will demand answers.

William Hall and Elizabeth Hicks, who was his second wife, came from East Tennessee and settled in Montgomery County in 1817. Their children were Sarah, Elizabeth, Dorcas, Nancy, Laney, David, and Henry. Sarah married John Morrow, and they had thirteen children. Elizabeth married Elijah Waddell. Dorcas married Mark Cole, who was the first hatter in Montgomery County. Nancy Hall married John R. Crawford, who built his cabin in Montgomery County, in 1818. Among others who were present and assisted him to raise the cabin, were Daniel Boone and his sons Nathan and Jesse. Lewis Jones killed the game and cooked the dinner, and found a bee tree not far distant, from which they obtained fresh honey for their dinner. Crawford was noted for his ability to tell humorous yarns, and entertain a crowd. Laney Hall married Ephraim Hunter. David married Fanny Morrow. Henry married his cousin, Polly Hall.

Five snow boots to see you through a snowy winter
Once again, there is white stuff falling from the sky in much of the UK, and as the rest of the world laughs at us for being un-prepared, we can at least ensure our feet are protected from the onslaught of snow. And with even more #UKSnow forecast to fall this weekend, it's definitely a good idea to act now...
Click each boot for details
Snow boots (or 'moon boots' as some of us prefer to call them) are not exactly famed for their fashion credentials, but the selection is getting better - so whether you're looking for stylish snow wear or just something to keep you warm and dry, we can point you in the right direction.
Here are a few of our current favourites...
Top Row
Far left, Romika's Padded Calf snow boots are your basic snow boots for just getting through the frosty days and weeks ahead, but with plenty of high tech on board. They've been added to the sale at Debenhams, and they're designed to keep your toes warm and dry. Pull these on underneath your jeans when you head out, and your feet will be ready to slip into something more stylish when you get to where you want to be!
In the middle, we have a pair of dove grey wellies from our new fave winter fashion find, Ewe Style. Available to buy here, they are the cosiest wellies ever as they are lined with 100% thick pile merino fleece - while having all the usual waterproof properties of a wellington boot. There's a great range of colours available too, so these rank high on the style points!
Top right, our best value option is this classic Eskimo-style moon boot, which is great value for money at just £19.99. Its duvet-thick puffiness will ensure you keep warm, while its super thick soles protect your feet from the snowy ground. We love the cute snowflake detailing on the buttons!
Bottom Row:
On the left, Clarks Neeve Ella GTX boot is a super high-tech thigh length boot galvanized by ultra weatherproof GORE-TEX. The boot has a distinctive country feel, and would look right at home with a Barber jacket and optional dog! They've been reduced to £64.99 down from an original £130
In the middle, Tamaris is another brand that specialises in practical, no-nonsense footwear - which when you're trying to get home in the midst of a blizzard is exactly what you need! Their tall winter boots have all bases covered, and they come in brown black or silver at a cost of £70.
Bottom right. Emu's Asbhy boot is the closest you can get to a cosy ugg boot with a robust weatherproof coating. We love the zip at the side, which adds style points as well as making them easier to put on and off.

Tom Snyders' collection of signs will make you laugh
WTOP's Michelle Basch reports.
Michelle Basch,
ARLINGTON, Va. - You've probably seen a funny road sign, but maybe didn't have the time to stop and take a picture.
Now you have a chance to see what may be the ultimate photo collection of funny road signs.
Stand-up comedian Tom Snyders, known as "The Bicycling Comedian," has been on the road for 25 years riding a bike from gig to gig.
Snyders has bicycled more than 162,000 miles to every state and nearly three dozen countries, while loaded down with 100 pounds of gear.
He even bicycled to Hawaii by riding a stationary bike on the deck of a cruise ship.
"I like getting off the beaten path. You get off on a bicycle on the back roads, you get to see the real country that way. You go zipping by everything on the interstate at 60 miles an hour, you don't get to see anything," he says.
Snyders tours the country entertaining people by sharing the various road signs he's come across that haven't been proofread, and signs that are deliberately funny.
"There was a big sign on the back of this pickup truck and it said, 'Caution: Blind Man Driving.' I was kind of curious about it, and then it turns out it was a guy who runs a store where he hangs blinds in windows for a living," says Snyders.
Another sign he spotted: "Pig Farm. Sorry, Still No Pigs."
Snyders says he's seen this one near prisons in several places: "Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Inmates."
He brings his slide show to the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse for a 7:30 p.m. benefit show Wednesday.
He's raising money for Phoenix Bikes of Arlington, which teaches kids how to build bikes and life skills. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at phoenixbikes.org.

Oregon State left-hander Ben Wetzler's senior season is on hold for what appear to be the weakest of reasons.
A fifth-round draft pick in 2013 by Philadelphia, Wetzler could not come to an agreement with the Phillies and opted to return to the Beavers for one more shot at a College World Series title. Reportedly, he left a mid-six-figure signing bonus in making that decision. Continue reading

This is a reminder to all students interested in gaining international experience in Japan that during the Spring 2011 semester, we will be offering a new course titled, "International Field Experience in Supply Chain Management" (OSM 438/538). This course is specially arranged for students to study advanced manufacturing systems and logistics in countries such as Japan, China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. In addition, students will take a trip to Japan for one week this spring as part of the course.
For more information on the course itself, please be sure to check out our initial posting about the course, which highlights its objectives, structure, and scholarship opportunities.
Besides earning credit for the course and acquiring international field experience in supply chain management, this is also a wonderful opportunity for students to be exposed to the unique culture of Japan. In an article published by Maryanne Buechner of Time Magazine in 2009, Tokyo, Japan is described as "a marvelous mix of modern living and old-fashioned manners, slick high-tech gadgets, and cutesy cartoon mascots." Buechner highlighted an example of how to go about exposing oneself to Tokyo's culture in just one day with a listing of ten things to do in a span of 24 hours.
Included in the list of ten places or events to see are (along with some photos):
Whether you are listening to the clanging bell signals of the fish auctions at the market in the morning, visiting the stunning gardens at Shinjuku Garden during cherry blossom season in the afternoon, hiking to the top of a skyscraper to soak in the entire city, or just relaxing as you watch two sumo wrestlers duke it out to close out the evening, a trip to Japan is one that you will not soon forget.
Buechner goes into more detail on each of the places or events above in her article, but this is far from an all-inclusive list of how you can spend a day in Japan. There are hundreds of other enriching places or events to see during a typical day in Japan, so why not make plans for a trip over spring break and register for OSM 438/538? Registration for spring classes will be available in a couple of weeks. Remember: you are not required to be an OSM Major to enrole. If you have any more questions about the course, please feel free to contact the OSM Department.

In Debate, Professors Offer Support, Caution on Affirmative Action
Affirmative action remains contested terrain even among its proponents, as was evident in a debate between two Harvard Law School faculty members in the fall.
Sponsored by Harvard's Civil Rights Project, whose mission is "to help renew the civil rights movement by bridging the worlds of ideas and action," the event took place poolside at the swank Beverly Hills Tennis Club and was moderated by Bert Fields '52, a prominent Los Angeles entertainment attorney whose clients include Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise and Warren Beatty.
Before an audience of about 30 people, Fields opened the discussion by saying that when he entered HLS, the school had two African-American students, no Latinos and no women. Today, Harvard Law School is a far more integrated institution, but judging by the lively exchange between Professor Charles Fried, who served as U.S. solicitor general in the Reagan administration, and Professor Christopher Edley Jr. ' 78, an adviser on race to the Clinton administration and co-founder of the Civil Rights Project, affirmative action still has a role to play both at the school (which was the scene of racial incidents in 2002) and beyond.
Fried raised "two cheers" for affirmative action, arguing that without minorities in positions of prominence, "we are two people, not one." The purpose of affirmative action in elite institutions, Fried said, is to create visible minorities, so that white students would see the black students among them as equals, not as different people. But, he added, once that goal is achieved, affirmative action should be dismantled "with all deliberate speed," in part because rising rates of intermarriage will soon make it difficult to decide who is a minority, but also because the more we segment ourselves by race, the more groups other than African-Americans will feel entitled to special treatment.
"If we go on too long, too many people will be making a living out of affirmative action," he said, citing the Rev. Al Sharpton as a case in point. "And they won't let us stop."
Edley, whose father, Christopher Edley Sr. '53, was one of the school's early African-American students, conceded that affirmative action has its costs, notably in white backlash, as reflected in the recent dispute over whether race should be a factor in the University of Michigan Law School's admissions policy. Nevertheless, he defended race-based decision-making as an essential, if limited, tool in "the transition from apartheid to a fully integrated community" and argued that this is likely to take longer than the 25 years predicted by Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Affirmative action, he noted, furthers the excellence of institutions by making them reflect the diversity of the population at large.
An audience member raised the thorny issue of the role of racial quotas in a meritocracy that is also committed to diversity. Fried opposed quotas outright, while Edley, acknowledging that quotas are "rigid numerical straitjackets" that privilege race over other factors, nonetheless felt that the notion of merit should include the attributes a candidate will bring to a community. Following the discussion, Randy Bassett '69 commented that the word "quota" itself has negative connotations. "For that reason," he said, "it can't be advocated. The mind shuts down."

The picture is displayed almost everywhere.
It's in the Chattem Practice Facility. It's outside the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga basketball offices. A copy of it is framed in coach John Shulman's office along with an official box score. It looks good there.
It's a split-second image of Chris Brown smiling and enthusiastically jumping up the back of Ricky Hood in the final seconds of the Mocs' 69-68 win at Tennessee in Thompson-Boling Arena on Dec. 5, 2004.
The image, captured by a photographer from The Associated Press, is a historic image for the UTC basketball program. That day, the Mocs were the best basketball team in the state. They knocked off their big brother -- the Big Orange.
UTC has an opportunity to re-create that image, or something similar to it, with a new cast of players when the Mocs play at UT tonight in Thompson-Boling Arena at 7 p.m.
"I like where we are, and we need to continue to get momentum," coach John Shulman said. "I feel like they just played their best game of the season, and they have momentum just like we are -- rocking and rolling."
The Mocs lost 82-62 last year at UT. They lost 114-75 in the opening game of the 2008-09 season at UT when Kevin Goffney injured his ankle 32 seconds into the game. And UTC lost 76-70 to the 10th ranked Vols in McKenzie Arena on Dec. 4 2007.
Those games are history.
The Mocs have hope and an opportunity this time around. The Vols are not what they used to be. The Vols lost to Austin Peay and lost to the College of Charleston, which the Mocs took to double-overtime.
"Every team is going to have an Austin Peay game," Shulman said. "They could have lost to UNC-Asheville and ETSU, but there was no doubt in the Citadel game that they're good.
"They're out in passing lanes and hard-hedging screens, so they're no fun to play against."
Senior guard Omar Wattad is looking forward to the matchup which comes against one of the big-name programs on the Mocs' 2011-12 schedule.
"It will be fun," said Wattad, who grew up in Johnson City, and averaged 18.5 points per game in the Dr Pepper Classic. "It's always a good time to play basketball. We're excited to play an SEC at any time."
UTC freshman guard Ronrico White is especially excited to play against the Vols. His dad, Tony White, was an All-American at UT and a second-round pick of the Chicago Bulls.
"I don't know what colors Dad will be wearing, but he'll be rooting for the blue and gold," White said. "I'm tying to make it just like another game, even though I'm going home. I didn't have a connection to UT other than my dad. I really wasn't a UT fan."
And neither is Shulman.
David Uchiyama is a sports writer at the Chattanooga Times Free Press who began his tenure here in May 2001. His primary beats are UTC athletics — specifically men's basketball and athletic department administration — and golf, which includes coverage from the PGA Tour to youth events. He also covers other high school sports, outdoor adventures, and contributes to other sections of the newspaper when necessary. David grew up in Salinas, Calif., and began working ...

Danilo Gallinari led six Nuggets players in double figures with 17 points and Denver stopped the Los Angeles Clippers' franchise-record 17-game winning streak with a 92-78 victory on Tuesday night.
Kenneth Faried added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Nuggets, who won their eighth in a row at home.
The Clippers, whose point total was two above their season-low, were hurt by poor shooting from 3-point range (5 of 29, 17.2 percent) and the free throw line (13 of 29, 44.8 percent). They were led by Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe, who had 12 points apiece.
Andre Miller, starting in place of point guard Ty Lawson, had 12 points and 12 assists for the Nuggets. Lawson, the team said, has been bothered by tightness in his left Achilles' tendon for the past week, forcing him to miss a game for the first time this season.

There seems to be a sinister plan afoot to class eventone on benefits as scroungers and that is not the case.
I know people who said things like you did, that they would never claim benefits, too proud etc. Then times changed, they lost jobs, their savings went, they had to sell cars. They had to go on benefits to get by. Humbled them massively. They then got over this proudness and got on with applying for jobs and eventually found their feet again. This is what benefits is about, this is what it is generally used for. People let these individual cases that are reported in the papers blur their perception of things.
I can't for the life of me, see the need to give this woman a brand new house when she already has two. Okay, she originally moved into the 'two' as a temporary measure because she faced homelessness and says that there is a fire risk in the home - how about some smoke alarms?
I also object to welfare claimants being able to afford a menagerie of pets, including a pony. Now a 16 year old daughter is claiming the pony is hers and states she pays the £200 pm fees. Where on earth does a 16 year old get £200 per month? If she's earning surely she should make a contribution to the household.
I could not have afforded a pony for any of my kids, although my eldest had a good seat and begged for one - then again, I was working for a living and claiming nothing but family allowance (as it was then).
