OXFORD, Ohio – Senior center Kelsey Simon helped the Miami University women's basketball team recover from a slow start offensively to down Kent State, 72-62, Saturday afternoon at Millett Hall. The RedHawks improve to 6-12 overall and 2-5 in the Mid-American Conference. The Golden Flashes fall to 3-15 overall and 0-7 in the MAC.
Simon earned her second career double-double on Saturday. She tied a career-high with 16 points on 7-for-9 shooting. She also set a new career-high with 12 rebounds, including six offensive caroms. Simon had 12 of her points and eight of her rebounds in the second half.
Two freshmen also proved to be stars for the Red and White in the victory. Freshman forward Nicole Anderson scored 14 points and brought in six rebounds. Making her first career start, freshman guard Jillian Spurlock finished with 13 points and a career-high nine rebounds in 31 minutes of action.
The RedHawks were unable to score during the first five minutes of the contest. Despite that, the defense held strong, allowing Kent State only four points. A free throw by junior guard Kindsay Brandt broke the drought, while a three-pointer from senior guard Hannah Robertson quickly tied the score at four with 13:35 left in the half.
Tied at 10, Spurlock put Miami ahead with a three off a nice assist by senior guard Haley Robertson. The Golden Flashes scored four straight to regain the lead, but Anderson quickly got it back for the 'Hawks with a jumper down low. MU would not fall behind again.
A jumper from Anderson and a layup by Simon helped push the RedHawk advantage to seven at 24-17 with 3:38 left in the half. Kent State answered with a 6-0 run to close to within one, but back-to-back jumpers from sophomore forward Hannah McCue and Simon got Miami back on track. Junior guard Courtney Larson hit a three-pointer with four seconds to go to send the 'Hawks into the break in front, 33-26.
The RedHawks shot 40.7 percent (11-for-27) during the first half, while holding Kent State to 32.3 percent (10-for-31) shooting. Anderson led the way with nine points, while Spurlock had five points and nine rebounds in the period.
Simon went to work down low to begin the second half, hitting a pair of layups to help give Miami a 40-33 lead. Haley Robertson followed with a three-pointer that made it a 10-point game at 43-33 with 16:14 to go. The Golden Flashes responded with a 7-2 run that cut the deficit to five at 45-40 at the 11:40 mark.
A three-pointer by Jessica Rupright started the RedHawk run that would put the game away. McCue followed with her own three-pointer, while a pair of layups by Simon and one from Spurlock were part of a 16-1 run that gave the 'Hawks their largest lead at 61-41 with 7:15 remaining. Miami was able to put it in cruise control from there, holding on for a 72-62 win.
The RedHawks finished the game shooting 40.0 percent (22-for-55), while thanks to a late run of made shots, Kent State finished the game at 41.1 percent (23-for-56). McCue had a solid game for Miami, finishing with six points and eight rebounds. Haley Robertson and Spurlock led the 'Hawks with four assists apiece. Miami had a 44-31 rebounding advantage for the game against the Golden Flashes, including 17 offensive caroms.
The RedHawks begin a tough stretch where they play six of their next eight contests on the road. It starts on Thursday when they travel to Buffalo for a 7 p.m. game. Bill Douglas has the call and it can be heard live on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

Having earned provincial colours for athletics, 18-year-old Atlantis-born Tythan Adams has one essential ingredient required to become a top-class winger – speed.
Adams enjoyed a great season with Paul Roos this year. The boys from Stellenbosch recorded some memorable victories over the likes of Rondebosch and Bishops as they finished second in the Western Cape school stakes behind Paarl Gym.
'It was my second year playing for the 1st XV and we had a very good season,' says Adams. 'Particularly if compared to last year where we didn't do very well.'
Adams's performances in the maroon jersey earned him his second call-up to the WP Craven Week side.
'This year's outing was a great experience as I was one of the senior players in the side this time. Personally, I was very happy with my own performances and the selectors obviously saw something in me and chose me for SA Schools.
'Making SA Schools was always one of my goals and to have achieved it was just an unbelievable feeling,' says Adams. 'It was disappointing losing against the SA Academy side, particularly going into the game as favourites, but they were the better team on the day and as players we just have to learn from our mistakes.'
The winger, who has played at both outside centre and fullback in the past has also built a reputation as a proficient goal kicker.
'I'm usually the second-choice kicker in my side but I do spend a bit of time on my skills and it's one of my strong points. I've always enjoyed kicking and particularly trying drop goals.'
Adams made four appearances for the Western Province U19 side in 2008, including the U19 Currie Cup final where he played off the bench.
The speedster was one of only three newcomers to the squad and is hoping to cement his place in the side next year.
'Next season, I'm focused on getting a permanent spot in the WP U19 side and maybe even the U21s,' says Adams. 'I might also join the SA Sevens side. [Coach] Paul Treu has invited me to join the squad and I think sevens can help me develop as a player.'
In spite of his achievements, he remains grounded and believes he can still improve on his defence and his positioning.
Adams, whose rugby role models include New Zealand's flying winger Joe Rokocoko and American sprinter Carl Lewis, plans to study sports management during his time at the Western Province Rugby Institute in 2009.

MARK KEOHANE says the Boks can beat the All Blacks if they are not suckered into turning Saturday's Rugby Championship finale into a free-flowing spectacle.
Heyneke Meyer's Boks showed the capacity to use the ball against the Wallabies, just as they did at times against England earlier in the season. There is no need to try and match the All Blacks to appease neutrals who like to see all out attack.
To beat the All Blacks will take greater discipline and won't be as easy on the eye for those who believe that the game should only be played one way.
The appeal of rugby union is that every team has a different style. Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones once joked to the Bok players (when he worked with them during the 2007 World Cup) that if Australia had South Africa's forwards and Fourie du Preez at scrumhalf the flyhalf would be lucky to get the ball.
South Africa's strength has always been when the forwards, collectively, produce a pressured 80-minute display that suffocates the opposition attack. The opposition always talks up South Africa's physicality and often it has only undermined the Bok performance on the day as individuals have erred with brutish ill-discipline.
The All Blacks traditionally have always had to fight hardest against the Boks and England for victories – and it is because both England and South Africa more often than not have had the advantage up front in size and muscle.
New Zealand, over a century, have always countered this disadvantage with the most incredible attitude in the collisions and in the tackle. Great All Black teams have always shown dominance in defence and it has been as potent weapon as their natural ability to counter attack or score the most spectacular tries.
The All Blacks, in Port Elizabeth a year ago and again in Dunedin, have tried to up the tempo of the game from the outset and played high risk rugby regardless of field position. It has suited the Boks because South Africa, especially at home and in the first quarter of a Test, are most comfortable when asked to make tackles than to use the ball on attack.
Those who seek a playing style similar to the All Blacks won't like it but playing the percentages is the most intelligent approach South Africa can adopt.
The All Blacks rely on quick phase ball and on quality ball from lineouts and when the Boks have enjoyed success against New Zealand is when there has been enough disruption to ensure a lack of fluency.
The All Blacks battled with the Pumas' physicality in the 21-5 win in Wellington. The weather contributed to the struggle, but the Pumas got it wrong in trying to play an expansive style against the All Blacks a week ago. The Boks will get similarly punished if they are lured into a match in which the All Blacks are allowed to settle early.
The Boks can win at home and whatever the Kiwis may say the desperation for victory will be greater for the home team. The All Blacks have already won the Rugby Championship, they are mentally exhausted from the strain of having to win the World Cup at home and their tight five is the most vulnerable unit in what is a very good outfit.
The locks are young, the front row has looked tired and laboured and Jerome Kaino, as an imposing blindside flank, has not been replaced. Liam Messan is a good player but he does not possess the Test qualities of Kaino.
The All Blacks are the best team in the world and consistently have been since the game turned professional. But like any team they can be beaten and they usually lose one match a season. They won't lose on the end-of-year northern hemisphere tour, so the customary defeat (which gives the rest of the world hope) must come in Soweto.
Richie McCaw, in his 112th Test, will be aiming for an unprecedented 100th Test victory. The statistic is incredible, given he has played the Boks and Wallabies 45 times home and away. McCaw is colossal to the All Blacks and he was the difference between the sides in Dunedin.
But the Bok pack must believe they are stronger and equipped to negate their All Black opponents. They also have to be disciplined.
Meyer has made no secret about his approach as coach. It will be Bulls-like rugby at home against the Crusaders, and it is a recipe that has mostly been successful.
This does not mean it has to be one-dimensional or boring. There is skill in mauling, there is skill in controlling the ball with the forwards and their is skill in a kicking game that is accurate and in which the chasers turn even average kicks into good ones.
The global game needs the Boks to win on Saturday, just to keep it interesting for a bit.
My heart says Boks by six or seven points. And my mind says the same. The only proviso is they maintain their discipline, retain 15 on the field and dominate the All Blacks tight five.
Victory certainly must not add to the illusion that the Boks are better than the All Blacks. They aren't because they haven't had the consistency or success on the road of the men in black.
See Saturday for what it is – a match the Boks must win and one the All Blacks would like to win.
Meyer, in victory, will have a foundation to take into the end-of-year tour and next year's Rugby Championship.
The All Blacks were brilliant in victory at the same venue two yeas ago. They silenced 94 000 with a stunning last five minutes.
The quality of the All Blacks is to be admired and applauded but if there is one team that can make them look ordinary for 80 minutes a year it is an imposing Bok team.
It has happened way too little since 1992. The Boks, on Saturday, need a new story against the All Blacks, but they don't need a new style of play.
Victory won't make the Boks the best team in the world but it takes them a bit closer to the goal of being the best team in the world.

GREENVILLE - According to a handout given to employees on Thursday, the Whirlpool factory has experienced an outbreak of bed bugs.
"We want to let you know that we had an isolated incident in the health center (nurse's station) on Monday (June 9)," read the handout. "There have been no other reports from any other areas since that time. A few bed bugs were found. There is no need to panic and this can be eliminated with minimal disruption."
The company told employees that an exterminator had been in the building on Monday and Wednesday. As a precautionary measure, they asked all employees to remove their personal belongings from the lockers near the health center until June 23 for additional extermination.
"It is fairly commonplace to find bed bugs in public and private work places," the handout read. "Why? Bed bugs are small and they like to hide. Anyone can carry them into our building on clothing, personal belongings and shoes."
Employees are encouraged to speak with human resources if they have any concerns or questions or if they have bed bugs at home and need time off to take care of them. Employees were also given basic facts about bed bugs.

The Impact of Variability and Patient Information on Healthcare System Performance
2011, Production and Operations Management
Kurt Bretthauer, P. Salzarulo, M. Cote, K. Schultz
In the delivery of health care services, variability in the patient arrival and service processes can cause excessive patient waiting times and poor utilization of facility resources. Based on data collected at a large primary care facility, this paper investigates how several sources of variability affect facility performance. These sources include ancillary tasks performed by the physician, patient punctuality, unscheduled visits to the facility's laboratory or X-ray services, momentary interruptions of a patient's examination, and examination time variation by patient class. Our results indicate that unscheduled visits to the facility's laboratory or X-ray services have the largest impact on a physician's idle time. The average patient wait is most affected by how the physician prioritizes completing ancillary tasks, such as telephone calls, relative to examining patients. We also investigate the improvement in system performance offered by using increasing levels of patient information when creating the appointment schedule. We find that the use of policies that sequence patients based on their classification improves system performance by up to 25.5%.
Salzarulo, P., K. Bretthauer, M. Côté, and K. Schultz (2011), "The Impact of Variability and Patient Information on Healthcare System Performance," Production and Operations Management, Vol. 20, No. 6, November/December, pp. 848-859.

The jacuzzi is NOT up to par. The water had an odor to it, and it wasn't clorine. The jets are not very prductive, meaning they are not strong . Also it is very loud jacuzzi. Not relaxing at all. the air intake is right by you creating a lot of noise.

As you might imagine, it takes a very special car to amaze us here at RK Motors Charlotte. As the retailer of more Hemi cars worldwide since 2007 than any five guys added together, we've seen some pretty amazing machinery come through our doors. But few cars can compare with this spectacular 100% matching-numbers 1970 Charger R/T Hemi, which is one of only 56 Hemi Chargers built that year, sporting a 1-of-1 color combination on top of being the only Hemi Charger ever built with the Performance hood with engine call-out. We also believe this is the most heavily optioned 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi in existence. This Charger is so amazing that it received a rating of 1.1 from Galen Govier. Oh, did we mention the science fiction level documentation, the complete ownership history from new and one of the best stories we've ever seen attached to a Mopar muscle car? Make no bones about it-this is the ultimate, no excuses Hemi Charger. If you are a 68-70 Dodge Charger fan like we are, this is THE Hemi to own if you're serious about having the absolute best.
Our story begins in California in 1968, where a young lad of 13 by the name of Wayne Gagosian landed a job washing dishes with the intent of saving enough money to purchase a Hemi Charger when he was old enough to drive. The Gagosian family lived very close to Carl Berger Dodge in San Diego, CA and Wayne had grown up watching the Dodge muscle cars roll into the dealership, sparking his fascination with the Dodge Charger R/T Hemi. Two years later, at the age of fifteen, Wayne had amassed more than $5,500.00 in his Hemi war chest. Unfortunately for Wayne (and fortunately for us, 42 years later), the clock was ticking after news arrived that Dodge was redesigning the Charger for 1971. If Wayne were going to get the Charger he wanted, it would have to be a 1970 model. So off he ran to Carl Berger Dodge and after he stopped checking off options, the final price tallied $6,100.00!
Check out the breakdown of the original fender tag on this R/T, which is backed up by the original Chrysler Corporation Broadcast Sheet and the original Window Sticker from Carl Berger Dodge:

In May of 1970, this incredible Charger arrived in San Diego, but since Wayne was two months shy of getting his driver's license, his mom was forced (!!!) to drive the Hemi 4 speed home. In July of 1970, Wayne took his driver's test in the Charger and managed to secure his driver's license. Thrilled at having such a high profile machine, the sixteen year old buy did what any of us in his position would have done-he set about impressing females with his car and engaged in a little street racing. However, Wayne was a practical kid and the merits of owning a loaded Hemi Charger soon wore thin. Given the era and his age, insurance costs were sky high and as was the case with nearly all Hemi cars, the car was simply not a practical daily driver. In that first year of ownership, Wayne managed to roll up 6,000 miles on the Charger and then traded it in on a brown 440 powered 1971 Charger R/T.
Since Wayne was a responsible kid, all of the Charger's original paperwork had been stashed away and was presented to the dealer at trade-in, including the original Window Sticker, the original books & manuals, original Warranty Card, original dealer paperwork and the original California license plate. Those documents remain with the car to this day.
Having dodged the bullet of being ordered by a 15 year old and surviving unscathed as a 16 year old learned to drive, the Hemi Charger was purchased February 13 of 1971 by Lee Hancock, who lovingly took care of the car for the better of three decades and was a card carrying member of the National Hemi Owners Association. When Lee passed away in 2000, the Charger had 28,000 and a new set of documents, including service records, California registrations, etc., to pass along to the third owner, Akbar Aly, who wrote to famed Chrysler authentication expert Galen Govier, wondering what on earth he had.
In 2003, although the car was remarkably intact and well preserved, showing just over 30,000 original miles, it went to Doug Stewart for a cosmetic restoration. After the professional repaint and detail as completed, Galen Govier performed a visual inspection on the car and graded it as a 1.1, which is the highest rating we've ever seen on a Galen Govier visual inspection report. As Galen pointed out in his visual inspection report, this Charger has all of its original sheet-metal, original 426 HEMI engine (with all original components), original transmission, original fender tag and all original body stamps and tags. In short, this is as good as it gets. Shortly after the restoration was completed in 2005, the Charger traded hands for a cool $275,000.00!
And to finish off the amazing story behind this Charger, the car was selected by Daimler Chrysler to be used as a feature for their commercial display at SEMA in 2005. At SEMA 2005, Wayne and the Charger were reunited at an event that created the ultimate photo opportunity and appeared in dozens of collector car magazines. If you want a no-stories Charger with an awesome story, this is the one!
Now about the car itself. As you know, it's rust-free and matching-numbers, but that doesn't quite tell the whole story. This Charger is a 100% correct, numbers matching car. Sure, it has its original engine block and all original sheet-metal, but it doesn't stop there. Also present are the original carburetors, intake, heads, exhaust manifolds and radiator. Look very closely at details like the washer bottle in the engine compartment-that's an original piece, not a reproduction. Galen Govier doesn't hand out 1.1 scores unless a car is near perfect … and except for a reproduction spare and non-original tires, this Charger is a reference for any 1970 Hemi Charger that's not a pure survivor.
There's more chrome than you'd expect on a 1970 Charger, mostly due to that ultra-cool ring of bumper up front protecting the grille and folding headlights. Of course, all the chrome is outstanding, from that front bumper to the door handles to the rear bumper, which sits just below that awesome single-piece full-width taillight. All the stainless was polished to a brilliant shine, then reinstalled—no reproduction pieces here. Details like the flip-up gas cap, R/T emblems on the faux vents on the front doors, and optional racing mirrors are all in impressive condition considering that most of it is original equipment.
Giving a 16-year-old kid the keys to a Hemi sounds like a recipe for disaster, but since young Wayne earned the car himself and didn't have it handed to him, well, there was a level of respect for the machinery that seems to have been infused into the very sheetmetal. In fact, it appears that NOBODY ever abused this car, and while the engine was carefully disassembled, checked, adjusted, and rebuilt with vast care, most of the vitals are original. Then the elephant was dressed for show, with Hemi Orange paint, crinkle finish valve covers, and all the little things that Mopar guys expect in top-flight show cars. With all the original factory markings still intact, reproducing them accurately was easy, and every detail you see under the hood is as it was in 1970 when Wayne's mother drove the car home for him (he was only 15, after all). In fact, when the current owner acquired it in 2005, he drove it home, a testament to how well this big HEMI runs today. Heck, even the MOTOR MOUNTS are original! For you numbers guys, we have a complete listing of all the components, just so you can verify that it is totally legit. Just a sample:
Intake: 27806543
Water pump: 2843290
Left manifold: 3418453
Right manifold: 2780508
Distributor: 2875987
Fan: 28 63 216
Clutch: 2806070/K18
Underneath, it's as you would expect, fully restored but highly authentic. The original 4-speed manual transmission is there, of course, feeding the factory-issued Dana 60 full of 3.54 gears, which makes this Hemi an effortless cruiser. The floors, which original, still wear original undercoating, with original overspray. New lines and hoses, rebuilt brakes and suspension, and a fresh dual exhaust system with proper resonators and rectangular chrome tips have been installed. Beautiful Rallye wheels, which were original specification although Wayne almost instantly replaced them with a set of Ansen mags, have been reinstalled and fitted with reproduction F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GT tires.
Loaded with options is how you'd describe the interior. Black buckets were the best choice with the Top Banana paint job, but you'll also notice cool things like the 6-way power driver's seat (ever seen THAT in a HEMI?). Incredible as it looks, the interior in the Hemi Charger is 90% original. Check out the original seat-covers-that's what they looked like when new. The dash is full of fully-functional Rallye gauges, including the Tic-Toc-Tach, and the original woodgrain appliques are bright and crisp. Note the completely rust-free door jambs, the crisp detailing on the door panels themselves, and the taut headliner, all included thanks to 40 years of caring maintenance. Grab the pistol-grip shifter and run it through the gears—just because it's almost perfect doesn't mean it isn't ready to rock at a moment's notice. The trunk carries a painted steel wheel and matching Goodyear tire, as well as a complete jack assembly, and Galen Govier has already verified that all the vital VIN stampings are present and 100% authentic.
Documentation is beyond impressive. We do have the original Chrysler Corporation Broadcast Sheet from under the rear seat and it's exceptionally nice. As I mentioned, Wayne kept most of the original paperwork that came with his new Charger, including the window sticker, dealer invoice, order form, warranty Certi-Cards, consumer information sticker, owner's manual, receipts for dealer-installed goodies like the Ansen wheels, air shocks, and a sport steering wheel, the original California license plate, original keys, California emissions certifications, registration documents, and, well, the list goes on and on. Finally, there's a complete Galen Govier visual inspection package, with decodes, production figures, and photographs, and he gives this car the highest possible rating. There are a few restoration photos included, and this car has also been featured in magazines around the world, including:
Classic American, January 2006 (UK)

Highly decorated, beautifully restored, with an incredible story to tell, this IS the ultimate Hemi Charger. You'll never get tired of telling its amazing story, and the car itself will be the subject of discussion for years to come. Just to reiterate, just in case you skipped to the end: matching numbers, known ownership history, fully documented, 1-of1 color combination, 1 of 1 options, highest numbers of options, and low original mileage. Investment-grade HEMIs don't get more blue-chip than this, and the price you see on the sticker today will surely be considered a bargain in the future. Few other cars can compare with this one's pedigree, HEMI or otherwise. Don't miss this opportunity.

As if we don't have enough to be worried about with NSA spying and drones sent by our government, now they're raining armies of dead mice on tiny parachutes on Guam.
How long can it be until the Dawn of the Dead Rodents comes floating into our own back yards?
I am not kidding about this.
According to a number of news sources, the U.S. government has decided it is time to deal with an invasive army that has all but taken over the little island.
That army is made up of poisonous brown tree snakes that arrived in cargo ships back in the 1950s. I believe authorities know this because, very often, when you come upon a brown tree snake in Guam, it is wearing a little Merchant Marine sailor hat.
They aren't very poisonous. Yahoo News claims their venom is similar to a bee sting, which isn't bad, although stumbling onto a hive of these suckers is probably pretty freaky.
There are an estimated 2 million of these snakes on the island.
You may wonder how one counts snakes. It's fairly simple: you tell 50 female Beliebers that there are free Justin Bieber concert tickets hanging in the trees out in the woods. You turn them loose then count the shrieks. If Justin himself is not out there (you need experts who can tell Mr. Bieber from a brown snake), you figure one shriek per snake.
All right. Maybe they do it some other way. This is government-sponsored methodology so my Belieber guess is probably too sane.
Anyway, our invasive army of snakes is causing a serious problem by slithering into power substations and frying themselves on the power grid.
It is important to find a way to defend America from bee-stinging, blackout-causing tree snakes. Guam is important to American interests. We lost a lot of people getting that island back from Japan in World War II, after all.
Not to mention the fact that Guam helps us remember the high mental caliber of the men who run this country. It was Congressman Hank Johnson, a Democrat from Georgia, who in 2010 addressed his concerns that sending too many marines and their families to Guam would cause the island to "Become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize." I am not kidding here.
Well, back to Guam, and snakes and dead mice.
In an effort to cut back the population, our government decided to deploy its army of 2,000 dead mice. How those mice were killed we don't know, but we do know they were injected with huge doses of Tylenol. They were then attached to tiny parachutes made of cardboard and tissue and airdropped into the forest canopy.
Again, I am not kidding.
The snakes apparently are willing to eat dead mice, so long as they are dangling in trees from the ends of cute little parachutes. I'll bet they prefer coconut-flavored chocolate. If you were trying to kill me in a forest I'd be much quicker to scale a tree for a Mounds than a mouse. But just try to get this government to make a decision between a Mounds and an Almond Joy, especially with an election year coming up. It's no wonder we went for mice.
According to wildlife biologist Dan Vice, the Yahoo News report states, Guamians are not too concerned about the paratrooping mice slaughtering "nontargets." "It would take 500 baits to kill a pig (or dog and) 15 baits to kill a cat," he said. I will assume there are no rodent-eating birds or native-variety snakes in Guam. Every other Pacific island probably has them, but I'm certain Guam does not, as they were all eaten by starving Japanese soldiers in World War II.
You may wonder how 2,000 mice are going to eliminate 2 million snakes — that amounts to .001 mice per snake, which I imagine would not be enough to give the snake a nice Tylenol buzz.
But these mice are being airdropped only over limited areas. As a test. If enough snakes swallow mice and bite the dust, they will extend the program.
How will they know if it works? First, by carefully scanning the Pacific Daily News for names with a lot of "Ssssss" sounds in them. Sending the Beliebers out may not be accurate, because how can you differentiate between screams caused by snake sightings and screams caused by mouse remains dropping from the canopy into their hair?
One real help — again, I am not kidding — is that some of these dead mice will actually be equipped with little transmitters. Mounds-flavored, I assume.
The cost to the taxpayers for 2,000 parachuting, transmitter-wearing, Tylenol-laced rodents is $2 million. That's $1,000 per mouse.
You can't get more American than that.

How Volunteering in a Tibetan
Outside, I hear the sound of chanting, deep, steady and strong, as if it were the beating of a drum. Elderly men and women sit on small carpets under the orange glow of the sun as it vanishes behind the towering horizon. They are spinning, chanting and smoothing over prayer beads with their fingers. On the crumbling cement walls that make up a small courtyard hangs a picture of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It's surrounded by flowers, prayer scarves and candles.
Volunteering was an opportunity to have the experience I was seeking, to see the sights and go behind the scenes. I didn't see the point in traveling across the world just to seek the comforts of home. An unexplainable curiosity moved me, along with the need to leave what is familiar and comfortable and put myself into a situation knowing that there would be a certain degree of danger.
The streets are lined with cement buildings squeezed and stacked together, painted in fading colors from pink to yellow. Most of the buildings house a number of small businesses, almost all providing Internet access. My stomach drops as I pass a market selling some type of meat butchered and displayed on a stone slab. Flies swarm over it in the warm sun.
The volunteer organization Global Citizens Network had been invited to work with the people of Jampaling following an exploratory visit in 1999. The volunteers visited four Tibetan refugee camps in and around the Pokhara Valley: Tashi Palkhiel, Paljorling, Tashiling and Jampaling. The settlements were established around 1960 with the help of the International Red Cross and the Swiss Development Corporation in cooperation with His Majesty's Government of Nepal. Following its visit, GCN was invited to return to Jampaling to help out.
Blanket of Garbage
One day, taking a break from work on the canal, I join one of the Tibetans to rest in the tall grass. His name is Tenzin, and he is one of the project leaders. Stretched out on the ground, relaxing, we talk about our different worlds.

Towing companies who have an agreement with the metropolis work as an add-on to the law enforcement. Still the employees of such agencies aren't granted the same protection that observance officers enjoy. They are not permitted to carry firearms since they still fall under the civilian class. Towing often leads to heated confrontations with the owner from the vehicle being towed. These confrontations may expose the particular driver to impersonating law enforcement, wrongful detain and various other civil rights infractions.
The actions of the Carlos Auto Towing Santa Clara are constrained. They cannot tow line a vehicle parked illegally on the public house. This is designated to the traffic law enforcement. However, you will find no rules frustrating them from towing an automobile parked illegally over a private home. The owner of the property should request a site and be current during car towing.

The government provides towing services of own on motorways to reduce the inconvenience caused to other drivers due a non functional automobile.
Once we talk about towing service, first thing that comes in our mind may be the basic service actually offering – towing. This is the reason why lots of people tend to ignore them when looking for help that is not relevant to towing such running out of gasoline, flat wheel, roadside support, and the like. But there are many towing services that can offer more than simple car towing, and this is what many individuals are unaware of.
When you experienced problems when traveling or while you are in the middle of the road, first thing you need to perform, specifically if you don't know what the problem is, is to contact a towing service. When the customer service consultant answers your call, will have them asking a few pre-determined questions that will allow them to figure out the problem that you are encountering. Following this, they may tell you whether they will help you or not. In cases where a towing service admits they cannot help you, you must never lose hope and try to call an additional towing service in the community.
Keep in mind that you will find dozens of alternatives that you can consider, and if you really want to obtain the one that can assist you with your problem, then you definitely to contact these one at a time. You must not stop buying company that can help you together with your problem, because with the modernization of most towing services today, it is possible to easily find the one which will help you with almost anything that you could experience while traveling.
The response to the issue "when should you phone a towing support" is when you have had difficulties with your vehicle on a trip.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Seahawks cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner are facing four-game suspensions under the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
Complete KGW.com Seahwaks coverage
According to the report, Sherman and Browner are appealing the suspensions, insisting they are innocent. An appeal could be heard as early as this week.
USA Today reports the substance is Adderall, an amphetamine that helps players focus, and is not banned by the NFL if a player files his prescription with the league.
Richard Sherman tweeted Sunday: This is issue will be resolved soon and the truth will come out. Not worried.
With only five games left in the regular season, this would be a huge blow to the Seahawks playoff run. Sherman leads the team with four interceptions and three forced fumbles. Browner has three interceptions and two forced fumbles.
Rookie safety Winston Guy was suspended four games last Monday.

Men's Soccer Dominates Brevard; Move to .500 On The Season
October 16, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. In one of their most impressive showings of the season, the Pfeiffer mens soccer team (6-6-1) ran its record to .500 with a 5-1 victory over Brevard (3-8) on Wednesday afternoon at NE Lefko Field. The Falcons got two goals from Trevor Dean and two assists from Aldo Ramirez to pick up their sixth win of the season, Pfeiffers highest win total since the 2009 season.
Simon Leslie put the Falcons on the scoreboard in the 19th minute as he took a beautiful feed from Niko Andrade and deflected the ball past the Tornados' keeper. Just over five minutes later, Dean scored his first of the contest, off Ramirezs corner kick as his header went past Juan Mascaro Jr. for the score.
The half would end with Pfeiffer up 2-0 and holding an 11-5 advantage in shots.
Eight minutes into the second half, freshman Nathan Regis would convert his third penalty kick of the past two games for Pfeiffers third goal of the match. The score was Regis team-leading fifth of the season. Ramirez would set up another goal, this one coming just 3:04 after the penalty kick, as Corey Davis put home the shot. 3:11 after that, Dean added his second score with the assist being credited to Luke Janes. Brevards lone score came in the 74th minute as Drew Gallowitch spoiled the shutout bid.
Nicolas Dulac made three stops and Miles Maynard was called on for the final 16:13 in net. Two Tornados keepers totaled eight saves on the afternoon.
The Falcons are back in action on Saturday afternoon at NE Lefko Field when they host St. Andrews at 3 p.m.

Kathleen Dugan, a professor of art at Anderson University, was 35 when she gave birth to twins Edward and Hannah. Life was good, but hectic and perhaps more difficult than Dugan had imagined.
"My mom kept saying it will get easier once they get older. Then it never got that easy," Dugan said.
Edward and Hannah were born five weeks early, which is common with twins. Hannah was colicky, the pair never got on a schedule and they were slow to reach developmental milestones. Dugan and her husband were routinely told to not worry. Even if the twins weren't hitting all their milestones, evidence showed that multiples typically catch up by age four. As new parents they took this advice at face value.

I'm 95% sure Sheila and I will be there....making some arrangements. Open division looks pretty weak....way easier than playing Ashton and James straight up.....I might jump up
I'm 100%....put me in pro masters....I'm too fat and old. #14490
I've never played this course...what's it like?
Still waiting on Sheila confirmation....
Josh you will love this course. Tons of trees and in a beautiful
private (I think) park. Really a nice place to spend a day. Lots
of birdies that are pretty tough. Get your birds early and then enjoy
the ride. I don't know the SSA but I am guessing 5 or 6 down for 19 holes.
Maybe even a 4 or 5. Locals know better.
Won't be there because of work so have enough fun for the both of us!!
Good mix of open holes and wooded ones. Lots of low ceilings. Couple of potential ace runs.
"That's what she said."----Michael Scott
Josh. Move on up to open if it looks pretty weak. Haha
Thanks to my sponsor
Landscaping and Pressure Washing
Josh is smart to play masters. Old man like me, can barely get up off the couch,it's easy money for him or James. That being said......the open field does look pretty weak!
please add eddie whelan Open Master and Butch harbolt advanced master xl and xl not sure of pdga #'s
Parking has always been an issue with the big turn-out we have been having. So....this year we are going to park in the field between the long tee pad for #19 and the long tee pad on #15. This should work out pretty good since the tent for the tournament will be set-up in the camping area above long #19. We could not get the normal shelter house this year; it was already reserved by another group. If you have a friend with a camping area you can park there with their permission.
The temp. holes will be in the same location as last year. With one additional hole. As Nick stated, 24 holes. I will be there during the day on Friday laying them out with flags for anyone wanting to practice the temps. The baskets will not be in place untill Sat. morning.
Lunch will not be available this year. Bring your own or there are local places to eat just down the road in Palmyra.
Once again; thanks to all for such great participation!
Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.

When you live in Paris, you tend to stick to pastry shops in your neighborhood. Not that there aren't "destination-worthy" places in all twenty arrondissements – with many notable ones on the Left Bank and in swankier districts. But with young chefs opening bakeries in various neighborhoods, catering especially to locals, one doesn't necessarily need to go all that far to find extraordinary pastries and confections.
Cyril Lignac is a chef who is hosts popular television programs in France, and a few years ago had purchased Chardenoux bistro, an aging warhorse of a place where I once went to meet a good friend who was in town for a month. As I waited for him at the table, the place – and the waiters – looked so tired (both looked ready for a much-needed retirement), when he arrived, I quickly convinced him that we were probably better off going to a corner café for a salad. So it was good to hear that the bistro had been taken over by Monsieur Lignac and just across the street, pastry chef Benoit Couvrand was turning out stellar pastries and breads.

Brownbag 1: Implementing Bushmeat Solutions around Tsavo National Park, Kenya
Presented by: Mr. Iregi Mwenja
Senior Bushmeat Project Coordinator for the East African Wildlife Society in Kenya and BEAN Field Officer
Innovative new efforts funded by the USFWS Wildlife Without Borders-Africa and other partners to reduce the illegal bushmeat trade in Tsavo ecosystem in Kenya. Mwenja is developing protein and income alternative projects with communities outside of Tsavo West National Park. He is combining these activities with new bushmeat education efforts specifically tailored to the local communities to enable them to understand the linkages of the illegal bushmeat trade on wildlife populations and ecosystem health.
Brownbag 2: The Dzanga-Sangha Project, Central African Republic: Anthropological & Ecological Perspectives on Wildlife Hunting, Commerce, and Conservation [link forthcoming]
Presented by:
Carolyn A. Jost, doctoral candidate in the Department of Anthropology at Purdue University and
Lesley Daspit, doctoral candidate in anthropology at Purdue University
The Dzanga-Sangha Project is one of the first examples of an ICDP in the Congo Basin. This protected area is co-managed by WWF and the government of the Central African Republic. Daspit and Jost spent 18 months at this field site collecting research for their dissertations in anthropology. In this presentation, the two researchers integrate their multiple ecological and ethnographic data sets in order to discuss the current state of wildlife in this region. Additionally, data spanning a 15-year period is examined to detect changes in wildlife populations throughout park and reserves sectors. Based on their findings, Daspit and Jost make recommendations for future conservation and development strategies in this complicated setting.
Biographies of the Presenters:
Mwenja is a wildlife biologist with nine years of field experience in East Africa. He is a recent graduate of the 2008-2009 USFWS MENTOR Fellowship Program that used a team approach to build the capacity and professional development of a group of emerging conservation leaders from Kenya, Southern Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda who work together to lead efforts to reduce the illegal bushmeat trade at local and regional levels. Out of MENTOR emerged the new Bushmeat-free Eastern Africa Network (BEAN), an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional network of stakeholders that shares information and implements grassroots solutions to directly address bushmeat exploitation problems affecting protected and surrounding areas in eastern Africa.

Marlena Cornell never expected she'd get to keep running in college, but that's exactly what the White Oak High School long-distance runner will be doing this fall at UNC-Pembroke in both cross country and track and field.
Cornell, 18, picked UNCP over Wingate, Pfeiffer and Ohio Valley in West Virginia.
"I wanted to be pretty close home so I can come home and visit on weekends and stuff," Cornell said. "I get homesick pretty easily."
And there was another reason.
"Out of all the colleges that were looking into me for running for them, they were most serious about running," she said. "They seemed to train their girls the hardest for it."
Cornell had never heard about UNCP until her mother broached the subject.
"It was actually my first time hearing about them," she said. "But when I went there to go visit, it was like I knew it was for me because the girls and everything were really nice there."
Cornell will not only run cross country at UNCP but also the 10K in indoor and outdoor track. That Cornell is getting to run on a track scholarship in college is a bit of a surprise to her for the simple reason that until her senior year she was home schooled.
But she decided her senior year she would go to White Oak and run for coach Chris Mueller.
"I did it for running because I love running so much," she said. "I did cross country with coach Mueller because he holds cross country practices in the summer and anyone can go to them. So I started going and he told me I was really good and he wanted me to run for him.
"So that's what made me go to public high school. So after cross country season a bunch of colleges started contacting about running for them. It was really exciting because I never expected it since I was home schooled for awhile."
To some, cross country might appear to be a lonely sport. Not to Cornell, however.
"It's actually really exciting," she said. "I would always run by myself to keep in shape. Since I was really good at it and I was able to compete against other people, it made running a lot more exciting."
Cornell finished third in the 3,200 meters this past season in the NCHSAA 3-A East Regional (12:32.29) and 12th in the state meet (12:38.76) after coming in 61st in the state cross country meet (20:36.9) in the fall.
As she prepares for her first year running in college, Cornell said she's working hard and following the summer workout schedule she received from her new coaches at UNCP.
"I'm actually trying to practice sprinting so my kick at the end I can pass people up," she said.

Data files for Tux Paint, a paint program for children
Tux Paint is meant to be a simple drawing program for young children. It is not meant as a general-purpose drawing tool. It IS meant to be fun and easy to use. Sound effects and a cartoon character help let the user know what's going on, and keeps them entertained.
Tux Paint is extensible. Brushes and "rubber stamp" shapes can be dropped in and pulled out. For example, a teacher can drop in a collection of animal shapes and ask their students to draw an ecosystem. Each shape can have a sound which is played, and textual facts which are displayed, when the child selects the shape.
There is no direct access to the computer's underlying intricacies. The current image is kept when the program quits, and reappears when it is restarted. Saving images requires no need to create filenames or use the keyboard. Opening an image is done by selecting it from a collection of thumbnails.
This package contains sounds, images, fonts and other data for Tux Paint.

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day column, writes that while there was no surprise in the Sharks Super Rugby final defeat, they were the best South African side in the tournament.
The only surprise in Hamilton on Saturday is that so many of the people I spoke to were surprised by the emphatic nature of the Sharks' defeat in Super Rugby's 17th final.
A few, as is the custom in SA, blamed the referee. New Zealand-born Steve Walsh had absolutely no bearing on the outcome of this one.
Walsh missed an obvious infringement in the last play of the game in 2007's final and he was blamed for costing the Sharks their first Super Rugby title. I was among those who caned him, even though it is no secret that the supporter in me has always prized the blue of the Bulls more than any black-and-white tribal strip.
Many of my Bulls mates back in 2007 were quick to point out that Frans Steyn rushed the conversion that would have given the Sharks a two-score advantage going into the final minute of the final, and that even though there was a concession that Walsh was poor the Sharks, playing at home, should have looked after their own destiny. It was Butch James, and not Walsh, who missed a clearance kick for touch, and about half the Sharks forwards couldn't get a hand on Bryan Habana as he beat several defenders with a step and pace to score what proved to be the decisive try of the final.
The Sharks back then really had no reason to complain. They produced rugby of the necessary quality to win the final, but their coach at the time — Dick Muir — wasn't quite on the button with his substitutions and his two most experienced players, Springbok captain John Smit and fullback Percy Montgomery, watched the final quarter from the touchline.
Muir got it wrong back in 2007 more than Walsh ever did and the Sharks certainly lost the final more than any on-field superiority won the Bulls their first ever title. You can't say the Sharks lost anything in Hamilton, outside of a good many hours sleep in getting to the New Zealand north island town from Cape Town, where, a week earlier, they had shown incredible spirit and defied the odds to beat SA's conference winners, the Stormers, who had finished as the overall league winners, which counts for nothing unless you actually stick around to host the final.
Sharks captain Keegan Daniel refused to use the travel complications as an excuse. Likewise coach John Plumtree and any player interviewed.
The Chiefs players, especially their captain, Craig Clarke, were the ones who weren't going to be lulled by the illusion that they were in a contest.
Clarke dedicated the first bit of his post-final acceptance speech by paying tribute to the Sharks' season and offering an acknowledgement from within his squad of what the Durban-based team had overcome to make it to Hamilton.
They had scored four tries and emphatically beaten the Bulls in Durban. The bonus point had given them life in the tournament.
What followed was another bonus-point, home win against the Cheetahs to make the top six play-offs. Then it was off to Brisbane, victory there, a flight back to Cape Town, victory there and a flight back to Auckland, New Zealand.
Sure there was hope from every Sharks supporter that the impossible was possible. And there had to be hope because without hope there is nothing.
It is every rugby supporter's right to always believe that no matter the challenge his team will triumph.
Those who could view the final without the emotional blindfold of simply having to believe the Sharks would win knew it had the potential to get embarrassing if the home team kept their composure and played with the intent and consistency we had seen all season.
I don't see much point in trying to dissect where it went wrong for the Sharks. The answer quite frankly is when they won in Cape Town.
It was not a fair contest and this should also be viewed in context. This is not a whine from me or Sharks supporters or South Africans.
It is a mere reflection of the reality of a tournament in which if you host a final and play an opponent from another country you don't lose easily. In 17 years the only team to dream the dream and get the win have been the Crusaders.
The Chiefs won the collisions and won the game. Forget any reference to an opening 20 minutes when the Sharks controlled the ball and field position because they certainly were not controlling anything in the tackle.
They played as if they were sleepwalking — and you can't blame them — on a day complicated by a Chiefs unit who played with the conviction of a team whose players knew they could not lose.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Standing between Olympic silver medalist Nicole Hosp and an embrace with her father was a plastic fence about waist high.
No trouble. The Austrian skier simply vaulted over it — in ski boots, no less. Nothing was getting in the way of a hug from dad.
Almost immediately, the tears began to flow as the two celebrated Hosp's second-place performance in the women's Olympic super-combined Monday. Hosp finished the downhill and slalom runs in a combined time of 2 minutes, 35.02 seconds — 0.40 seconds behind Maria Hoefl-Riesch as the German standout successfully defended her title. American Julia Mancuso was third.
"This is really special," Hosp said.
Especially considering that Hosp had to watch the 2010 Vancouver Olympics from home after tearing ligaments her right knee following a fall months earlier in a giant slalom in Soelden, Austria.
"That was a really, really hard time for me," said Hosp, who won a silver medal in the slalom at the 2006 Turin Olympics. "It was much, much better here."
This was another stellar day on the mountain for the Austrians. Matthias Mayer roared down the tricky course to win the men's downhill Sunday.
To think, the super-combined isn't really even Hosp's strongest event, either.
"She's been looking good all week in training and she should be good in all of the other events, too," Austrian Alpine director Hans Pum.
Hosp momentarily grabbed the lead after the slalom run, celebrating her performance by pumping both ski poles after crossing the line. However, the lead was brief as three racers later Hoefl-Riesch flew down the steep course.
Bumped off the top spot, Hosp had to wait several agonizing minutes to see if her run would even be good enough for a medal. Teammate Anna Fenninger then struggled, Lara Gut of Switzerland made a major mistake and skied off the course, Tina Maze of Slovenia faltered and Mancuso, who's hardly a slalom specialist, couldn't surpass Hoefl-Riesch or Hosp.
"Hard time waiting," said the 30-year-old Hosp, who painted her nails in red and white — Austrian colors — for the occasion. "It was really tough because the track was really hard to ski. But I'm so happy about it."
It wasn't long ago that Hosp was set to become the next big thing in skiing. She won the 2007 overall World Cup title — and then along came the reign of Lindsey Vonn, who missed the Sochi Olympics because of knee surgery.
Hoefl-Riesch knows all about that.
Asked if she could envision a day like this four years ago when she was watching the Vancouver Games, Hosp said: "You don't know if you're still (going to be) racing or not. I'm here and it worked and I have a medal. It's great."
Soon after working her way through television interviews, Hosp spotted her family and friends near the stands. Hugs all around — for her boyfriend, who doubles as her ski technician, her dad and, really, everyone else in her path. She was hoisted in the air and her group snapped picture after picture.
"They know how much hard work is behind this success," Hosp said.

Women's Lacrosse Falls 13-12 at Queens in Regular-Season Finale
April 17, 2010
Story Courtesy of Queens Sports Information
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Caitlin ORourke found the back of the net with 7:56 on the clock to score the game winning goal off of a feed from Kelley Duffey to lead the Royals of Queens University of Charlotte past Pfeiffer University, 13-12. This was the second time that the womens lacrosse team met up with the Falcons and the Royals were determined to come out with a win on what was also Senior Day. Unlike the first game, todays event counted towards Conference Carolinas action improving the Royals record to 5-2 (7-9 overall) heading in to the Conference Carolinas Tournament. The Falcons fall to 5-2 (11-6 overall) with the loss.
Senior Kelley Duffey led all players today in points with eight. She netted four goals for the Royals, all in the first half, and dished out four assists, all in the second half. After trading goals in the first seven minutes of play, Duffey took over putting the Royals up by two scoring three consecutive goals for the home team, 4-2. Pfeiffer kept close throughout the half keeping Queens within reach. Heidi Karaszkiewicz and Jessica Moulton scored two quick goals for the Falcons tying the game up at 5-5 with just under eight minutes on the clock. Queens stayed aggressive on the offensive end regaining the lead before the half, 8-6.
Queens opened up the second half of play with a goal by ORourke assisted by Duffey. ORourkes goal gave the Royals their biggest lead of the game at 9-6. Pfeiffer answered back with two goals to bring Queens back to within one. Over the next four minutes of play Pfeiffer scored three goals to Queens one to regain the lead for the second time in the game, 11-10. Queens held strong on the defensive end stopping the Falcons run. Kelley Duffey found Shannon Casey cutting to the goal to tie the game up for the fifth time at 11-11.

One of the great things about living in Paris is that it's a pretty good city for bicycling. It's relatively flat, the city has installed a network of bike paths, many one-way streets have been accommodated with a special lane off to the side for bicyclist going the other way (provided you don't mind the terror of seeing a car coming at you full-speed, head on), and in spite of what's between those previous parentheses, Parisians actually respect bicyclists. Even though pedestrians n'existe pas, I think that comes from the fact that a lot of drivers are actually cyclists themselves, or were in the past.
But unlike America, where people like to do things like see how close they can sideswipe cyclists, just for fun (often with a "Hey, the road is for cars!" – before speeding off, chuckling at how clever they are), bicycles are just a natural part of the streets and roads in Paris. One does need to be careful, though, because people in Paris drive like they walk, and there doesn't always seem to be much sense of order to it and spatial relationships are…well, sometimes those n'existe pas as well.
