Declassification board 'agitates' for changes to document management
Monday - 12/10/2012, 5:30am EST
The petabytes of data the government produces each year is crushing the system that is supposed to evaluate it for public release.
The data deluge and declassification challenge is so great that a board of experts has recommended to the White House several radical changes to how agencies deal with documents.
"If you look at the amount of documents that are produced, simply the difference between the first George Bush administration and the second administration, it's gone from less than two terabytes to about 40 [terabytes] in the space of three presidential archives that have gone to the various libraries," said Nancy Soderberg, the chairwoman of the Public Interest Declassification Board and former deputy national security advisor, in an interview with Federal News Radio. "Right now having an individual look at every page simply is not feasible. The result is if there is no change, the public will not have access to what its government does in any meaningful way."
Nancy Soderberg, chairwoman, Public Interest Declassification Board
The board sent its recommendations to President Barack Obama Nov. 27 after almost three years of research and consultation with federal agencies, such as the departments of Defense, State and Energy, open government advocates, academics, technology companies and many others.
No changes for seven decades
The current three-tiered system requires agencies to first decide if they need to be classified, and then at which of three levels-confidential, secret or top secret.
The board said that system is broken because it's based on Cold War era processes and hasn't kept up with the technology advances of the last 72 years.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the current system by executive order in 1940 during a time when all documents were paper and the volume of documents wasn't nearly as great as it is today.
For example, in the eight years of the Bush administration, from 2000 to 2008, the government created about 250 million emails that are considered historically valuable. During the eight years of the Obama administration, experts expect more than a billion emails to have historical value. The board said there is no way under the current system for agency records managers to review, analyze and classify or declassify all of those documents.
The other issue at hand is the over-classification of documents because of the risk averse culture of the government, and the amount of time it takes to declassify. The recommendations also focus on how to improve the declassification process.
The recommendations are broad and address everything from moving out of the three-tiered classification system to a two-tiered process to strengthening the National Archives and Records Administration's National Declassification Center to giving federal employees "safe harbor" protection if they adhere to a rigorous risk management process in how they perform their classification duties.
"What we are looking at is the confidential and secret being collapsed into one," Soderberg said. "The unclassified various things we are not recommending that we really change. The declassification piece is how do we declassify things?"
New rule coming for CUI
A separate working group is looking at unclassified data. John Fitzpatrick, the director of the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) at NARA, said the interagency committee will release a proposed rule in early 2013 to rationalize the number and use of unclassified labels such as sensitive but unclassified (SBU) or for official use only (FOUO).
John Fitzpatrick, director, Information Security Oversight Office, NARA
Fitzpatrick said the board's recommendations and the harmonization and reduction of unclassified labels are separate efforts but related.
Soderberg said the goal of the board's efforts is to reduce the classification to secret and top secret, but also take steps to get information to the public more quickly.
One of the ways to get declassification done more quickly is to make sure each agency has a staff historian to review documents.
"Not everything has to be declassified or is of interest to the public," Soderberg said. "But rather than having historians search for a needle in the haystack, a contemporaneous set-aside of the documents that people recognize will be of historical interest would greatly aid the process of getting things out there."
The board said technology needs to play a big role in changing the classification and declassification system.
She said the board recommended pilots, possibly with some of the presidential libraries.
"There's a trove of treasurers at each of them," she said. "The public uses those libraries and they are one of the more dynamic institutions in the country. We want to look at ways we could assist them to have a broader declassification process."
A few best practices
Soderberg said the entire effort to revamp the classified records management process needs to be led by the White House.
"What we are hoping will happen after this is the White House will take and lead an interagency process to create a White House steering committee that would take these recommendations to heart, design their own implementing recommendations and then really from the White House drive a process here," Soderberg said. "There's a lot of really good work that's gone into it and a lot of discussions. We don't expect everyone to agree with the recommendations. Part of the role of an outside board is to try and spur heated discussion and drive it within the White House."
She added the White House and agency records managers have been involved with the development so they are familiar with the suggestions, which bodes well for the implementation of some of them.
There also are several agencies which are ahead of the pack in managing classified documents, the CIA being one of them.
Marty Faga, former director, National Reconnaissance Office
Marty Faga, a member of the board and former director of the National Reconnaissance Office, said the CIA is using meta data to identify information more easily.
"The CIA is experimenting with technology to enhance declassification, make it more accurate and to make it faster," Faga said. "They are not alone. All the declassification managers that we meet are really enthusiastic about what they are trying to do. They all have limited funds, but they generally have pretty good executive support above them."
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency (I-ARPA) also is using technology innovatively for advanced language processing and other information handling techniques, Fitzpatrick said.
He said the same technology could be used for classifying and declassifying information more quickly and through automation.
Support for recommendations broad
The board said the key for this entire effort is White House support because it requires a significant shift in culture across the government.
"The government by its very nature is risk averse and when in doubt classify at the higher level. They end up protecting their own interest, which is to keep the information classified, and there are very few people inside the U.S. government advocating for the public's right to access this," Soderberg said. "That's why you need strong presidential leadership to do this. President Obama has appointed this board knowing that you [use] outside agitators to look at this. The board is made up of people who are very committed to balancing the two. We've all served in government in some fashion and have dealt with classified information, and understand the need to have secrets, but we're all convinced there could be better balance for the public."
Reaction to the recommendations has been positive. One records manager from the Air Force spoke up at the board's event Thursday at NARA and expressed some concerns over the changes, specifically around the idea of records versus documents. He said there are a lot of redundancies in records, but the new classification of documents are actually fairly small.
The Constitution Project was one of several open government advocates at the event to express support the recommendations. They said there is some concern about the support to move out of the zero risk culture, the idea that all risk is too much risk so the government should classify everything.

|Dr. Brigitta Mueller: A Passionate New Leader of Quality and Safety at All Children's Hospital
The road Dr. Brigitta Mueller has followed to All Children's Hospital has been marked by some unexpected detours along the way. But ultimately, it has led her to precisely the place she wants to be as the new Vice President of Medical Affairs and Chief Safety Officer.
Every formative stop in her career seems to have been a stepping stone to the hospital where quality and safety ranks as the No. 1 priority on its pathway to the top.
"I'm very passionate about patient safety and quality and have been involved in not only pediatric hematology and oncology - both locally and nationally - but also at the hospital and university level," she says. "I'm very excited to now be here. I see myself for the next 10 to 15 years really focusing on quality and safety - and I view this as a unique opportunity to do that."
Dr. Mueller brings to All Children's a wealth of knowledge from the largest free-standing pediatric hospital in the United States, Texas Children's in Houston, where she worked the past 12 years as Director for Clinical Operations, Quality and Safety for the hospital's Cancer and Hematology Centers. In addition, she was Clinic Chief, Section of Hematology-Oncology and Chief Safety Officer for the Cancer Center and also served on the faculty of Baylor College of Medicine as a tenured Professor of Pediatrics.
Her collective experience makes her an ideal fit as the leader tasked with overseeing a full spectrum of quality and safety initiatives and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration - a pursuit further underscored during National Healthcare Quality Week Oct. 20-26.
"She will play a key role in our focus on a culture of safety, physician engagement and academic transformation," says Jonathan Ellen, M.D., ACH President and Physician-in-Chief.
Yet her journey to such a key post in St. Petersburg has taken Dr. Mueller through some interesting twists and turns that might easily have moved her in a different direction. The native of Switzerland started out doing her pediatric training at the Children's Hospital of the University of Berne in Switzerland, followed by a fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.
Her section chief at the time, Dr. Philip Pizzo, was interested in patients with compromised immune systems, leading to the creation of a busy practice in the late 1980s and early 1990s that saw children infected with HIV. Dr. Pizzo spent 23 years at the National Cancer Institute as head of the infectious disease section, chief of the pediatric department and acting director of the Division of Clinical Services. At the time, the country was just becoming aware of the AIDs epidemic, and Dr. Pizzo and his team were at the forefront of creating new treatments and methods of preventing the spread of AIDs in children.
"We did a lot of the phase I studies of the new drugs," she explains. "For many of the drugs that are now approved, we actually did the first studies in children and brought the drugs to FDA approval. Being part of that team, I was very much involved in clinical research for pediatric HIV disease."
Dr. Mueller remained in the position for eight years and when Dr. Pizzo moved to Boston Children's Hospital, he asked her to join him there. She jumped at the chance, but then came a surprise.
"Unbeknownst to both of us," she recalls, "they didn't have any faculty openings for someone with my kind of background."
But rather than let herself be sidetracked, Dr. Mueller turned the bump in the road into a new opportunity. She had been looking for a mentor in the Harvard medical system and found such person in Dr. Orah Platt, a woman and full professor at Harvard Medical School.
"I asked her if she would be my mentor and she said, 'Certainly,' but she needed a clinical investigator to help with sickle cell disease," recounts Dr. Mueller. "I said that coming from Switzerland, I didn't know a lot about sickle cell disease but why not?' "
She poured herself into the new job and stayed at Boston Children's for four years, immersing herself in the clinical work of hematology, oncology, bone marrow transplant and especially sickle cell disease.
That work gave Dr. Mueller an expertise in sickle cell disease and became a springboard to her next position. She moved to Houston and created the Texas Children's Sickle Cell Center from the ground up. "when I first joined, the team followed some 500 patients with the disease but didn't do any research," she says. "My job was to bring in clinical research, which we did. We conducted several drug studies and participated in several local, national and international protocols. Now the center follows more 1,100 sickle cell patients, and is one of the largest in the U.S."
As time went on, she started wearing more than one hat, becoming the head of the hospital's solid tumor group, developing yet special expertise in liver and germ cell tumors. At the same time she became Clinic Chief for the Hematology/Oncology section at Texas Children's. But another change in direction was on the horizon. Some six years ago, Dr. Mueller was asked to take on even more administrative responsibility. There was only one problem.
"I realized that I didn't really know anything about administration," she says. "So I decided to go back and earn a master's degree in health care management from the Harvard School of Public Health. That's a non-residential program that you do over two years, and it's specifically for physician leaders. So it was a wonderful group of peers who were dealing with the same issues."
The additional education proved invaluable as Dr. Mueller went from clinic chief to taking on responsibility for all clinical operations at the Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers, which has the largest pediatric hematology-oncology program in the United States. She was involved in many different safety and quality initiatives, both for the section as well as for the hospital, served as the chair of the transfusion committee and was involved in various strategic planning enterprises, such as the implementation of the electronic medical records system.
What's more, Dr. Mueller created and chaired the Chemotherapy and Safety Committee and the Clinical Practice Committee, working with physicians, ARNPs, nurses, pharmacists and nurse educators to establish more than 35 evidence-based clinical pathways and over 300 order sets now used throughout the institution to treat hematology-oncology problems.
In 2012, Dr. Mueller was named Associate Medical Director for Quality with the Texas Children's Health Plan. A managed care Medicaid plan, it focuses on quality and patient safety as well as efforts to establish new models of care delivery aligned with accountable care and population health. She did that while serving on the Board of Trustees of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and on the Executive Committee of the Section for Hematology/Oncology of the American Academy of Pediatrics. She's also the author of 84 peer-reviewed scientific publications and 30 book chapters.
In spite of her achievements, Dr. Mueller felt the need for a new challenge, if only she could find the right one. She began looking into potential new jobs over the past few years. In one instance, she even became a finalist for a chair position at another institution tied to a residency program.
"I understand how important it is to have good residency programs," she says, "but it's not something that makes me excited every day - to make sure everybody passes the board, fulfills their ACGME requirements, and all that. I'm really passionate about improving safety and creating an environment where people can provide quality health care and really push the field forward."
With that in mind, Dr. Mueller began focusing the next turn of her career on jobs related to quality and safety. And as it happened, her occupational goal coincided perfectly with the top-tier, quality and safety vision outlined for All Children's by Dr. Ellen.
"This opportunity came along," she says, "and it just turned out to be ideal."
Several factors made All Children's an appealing choice for her, beyond a shared pursuit of quality and safety excellence. First, engineering change in a large institution such as Texas Children's was difficult due to its size. "But All Children's is smaller and this is a real visionary group here," she states. "So I think to implement changes and make an impact will be easier here. We can be the leaders where others will follow instead."
Second, Dr. Mueller was excited about ACH's connection to Hopkins, specifically the Armstrong Institute of Patient Safety and Quality. "That was a very strong draw for me," she says. "It's really wonderful to work with them and learn from them."
After a dozen years in the southern part of the country, Dr. Mueller imagined that her next step would take her back to the northeast, given her fondness for the region in which her career began. But the road had another surprise in store, leading to the West Coast of Florida - and a chance to help lead All Children's on its pathway to the top.

I bought a pair of these for the male human I reside with at his insistence. Since he had always shown an aversion to any type of footwear that was not worn by 16-year-old skater boys, I was a wee-bit taken aback. After a week of hard wear (hiking, fishing, brewing), he can't say enough good things about them. He has several foot problems (flat foot, sweating, etc) and these really address all of them. The arches are high enough that he doesn't need to wear his special insoles and they breathe really nicely so I don't have to deal with the stench of death when he takes them off. He loves them so much that he bought two more pairs, just so he has them for when these eventually wear out. He's going to waterproof all of the pairs so they are a little friendlier in the brewhouse as well. He also loves that he can wear these without socks and his feet don't get all slimy. I am delighted that he is now wearing "big boy" shoes and that they are working so well for him. Highly recommended.
Over all a great product from Merrell. I got about 2 full years out of these shoes, 2 years of hard use. These are a perfect lighter and more breathable pair of shoes to go hiking with. I wouldn't suggest carrying a heavy load while backpacking or trekking for long distances, however they are perfect for light to moderate hiking and around town. The mesh panels on the side really help the shoe ventilate, which makes a perfect hiking shoe for must of summer. The shoes are fairly durable, but they will only handle so much abuse before they start to fall apart. The mesh panels seemed to deteriorate first, maybe they could invest in a stronger fabric for the mesh. Overall, I love the shoes and have used them from Vermont to Colorado, from hiking to hanging around the town. The best part about the shoe is that you don't have laces, side them on and pull the cord and your ready to start your adventure. The cord stays fairly snug once you tighten your shoe,
The shoe performed well the first month of use for 375 miles on the Appalachian trail, but the back support and the insole fell apart within a few weeks after we had hiked the trail. I thought a Merrell would last longer and be more endurable. I'm a little disappointed.

My husband LOVES HIS CHAMELEONS. When he got paint all over his pair he was very upset so I bought him another pair for an Easter surprise gift. These shoes last a LONG time, very comfortable, very easy to slip on since these have a no tie/bungee strap, and they look nice with most outfits including jeans.
My lifelong quest to find a hiking shoe/boot that caters to rugged capability and comfort has come to an end! As a long distance hiker on the Appalachian Trail, I tired of having to lug around my heavy mid-sized boots. I wanted a compromise between comfort, weight and durability. The Merrell Chameleons literally feels like wearing a bedroom slipper on the trail, and acts like a durable boot! The drawstring chord eliminates having to tie and re-tie the shoes on the trail, saving you loads of time. They are breathable, light, stylish and easy to take off as well. The mesh that surround the inside wicks moisture really fast and the neoprene surrounding around the ankle keeps debris out. I took these shoes on a 100 mile trek starting in Harper's Ferry on the AT and they held up. Of course they are not AS durable as hardcore hiking boots, but man did they impress! My speed on the trail increased by light years. If you are a hiker determined on finding a comfy pair of speed demons, buy 'em!
These shoes are comfy, pretty rugged and breathable. Without a doubt, being able to wear shoes without tying laces one of my boyhood dreams, so I was pie-eyed when these materialized. They've become my urban trekkers, and I routinely walk several miles under a pack every day, so while they have some benefits, a couple things keep them from being great.1. They squeek. Yep. I walk around in a symphony of shrill cries emitted from my shoes. And while, I don't feel fat, but they protest away. The air pocket in the soles may be to blame, and honestly, the problem isn't severe enough to warrant investigating. Especially bad on concrete.2. They attract anything sharp, and the mesh invites 'em in. So, needless to say, the vegetation of the Desert Southwest makes these shoes a trial by thorny brambles. In the PNW, they're fine - when it's not raining. When it is, make it a day hike, or you'll be curling your prunes by the fire, hoping that the shoes dry out before you get rained on again.
I usually wear these for shorter day hikes or in less rugged terrain. The fit is snug, even with the elastic drawcord for tightening. They are very comfortable and lightweight but they lack the ankle support of a mid boot. Have had a couple close call with rolling an ankle in these
These shoes are GREAT! My husband is the general manager of 6 bike shops, so he's always on his feet, and these are his shoes of choice! They are easy to get on and off, but when you need it, they're easy to tighten. In addition to being great for work, if we want to go for an impromptu hike, there is nothing better. Fit is a tiny bit big as others have mentioned, they're also a little bit on the wider side (definitely not narrow) as many Merrells are.We're on our 4th pair -- not because the others have fallen apart, but because my husband keeps giving them to his boss's teenage son when he wants a new pair :)
I've boughten the Chameleons every year for the past 4 years. They slip on easily yet hug your foot to stay on. I use these all year around from hiking in the woods, walking around town, playing disc golf and trekking through some snow. The shoes aren't waterproof but just buy a $5 can of waterproofer and they will be. Although they work great in the snow the treads on them lead to some slipping during the winter. They run a touch big i think, but the Chameleons always have. Merrell makes fantastic products that last and feel good, can't go wrong with them.
I have owned 5 pairs of Chameleon Stretch version lightweight hikers over the past 7-8 years. Obvioulsy, I keep going back to them; they are super comfortable and need little break-in. I use them for everyday footwear in lieu of tennis, running, or cross-training footwear, as well as for biking and day hikes. The inner lining at the counter has in previous versions deteriorated more quickly than the outer, but I have had to reglue (gorilla glue) the vibram sole where it meets the upper's leather at times, but never before a year of steady wear.

It was kind of strange. I went to BG for the weekend with a buddy who is pretty new to dg. We played Basil Griffin early friday afternoon. We were the only people on the course.
In the evening, we played Phil Moore. Again, the only players on the course until we reached hole 15 and there was a 3 some on 2.
Saturday morning at Lover's Lane. Again, no one there from beginning to end. I think the slight rain may have been a factor. I played Preston Miller after lunch. No one on the course and the weather was nice. We played Kereiakes that night and only saw a threesome, a boyfriend and gf together, and a single on the course.
Sunday morning at Holler in the Hills. No one but us.
I really expected more people playing, but I guess with so many courses in the area there are too many choices for a course to get too crowded. Must be nice.

Keo.co.za brings you news from the Springboks' camp.
Noakes influential in 'rested' Boks - Springboks assistant coach Gary Gold has caused some confusion by saying that the Springboks were 'rested' on advice from Professor Tim Noakes rather than injured like they claimed.
Speaking to Beeld, Gold said they had taken the advice of 'medical people' like Noakes, a vocal critic of the punishing schedule the players are made to endure, in pulling a group of 21, mostly first-choice, players from Tri-Nations tour.
However, the line peddled to to the media and public was that the players omitted from the Tri-Nations tour were injured, which precluded their selection. Springboks coach Peter de Villiers also repeatedly dismissed claims that they were being rested, and scoffed at reports that they were in a training camp in Rustenburg in a period of what conditioning experts term 'active rest' (training without the physical and mental demands of a match).
'Now that we have given these players a rest, the team is suddenly unprepared for the World Cup. The tour was a disappointment, but we have a lot of experience to fall back on,' Gold said.
Meanwhile, Gold added that concern about the ageing Springbok team was unfounded. 'The team is on average 2½ years younger than England's team was when it won the 2003 World Cup,' he said. He continued, saying the coaching team is 90% to 95% sure of how their World Cup side will look, with only a few positions still up for the taking.

Are Risk Preferences Stable across Contexts? Evidence from Insurance Data
2011, American Economic Review
Levon Barseghyan, Jeff Prince, Joshua Teitelbaum
Using a unique data set, we test whether households' deductible choices in auto and home insurance reflect stable risk preferences. Our test relies on a structural model that assumes households are objective expected utility maximizers and claims are generated by household-coverage specific Poisson processes. We find that the hypothesis of stable risk preferences is rejected by the data. Our analysis suggests that many households exhibit greater risk aversion in their home deductible choices than their auto deductible choices. We find that our results are robust to several alternative modeling assumptions.

At that moment, she began to see a connection between the health of humans and that of what she would call our nonhuman brethren.

The oil, which has been long used by Aborigines to treat skin wounds, was discovered to be capable of speeding the repair of the intestines and treating a variety of common bowel diseases.
Researchers at Adelaide University found the oil is an effective anti-inflammatory and can accelerate the repair of the bowels by stimulating growth of intestinal "crypts", which assist with absorbing food.
Up to 60 per cent of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy receive painful intestinal ulcers but there are currently "no effective treatment options", the researchers said.

In a new study by scientists at King's College London and the University of Arizona (UA) published in Science reveals the deep similarities in how the brain regulates behaviour in arthropods (such as flies and crabs) and vertebrates (such as fish, mice and humans). The findings shed new light on the evolution of the brain and behaviour and may aid understanding of disease mechanisms underlying mental health problems.

The need to distinguish between normal cells and tumor cells is a feature that has been long sought for most types of cancer drugs. Tumor antigens, unique proteins on the surface of a tumor, are potential targets for a normal immune response against cancer. Identifying which antigens a patient's tumor cells express is the cornerstone of designing cancer therapy for that individual. But some of these tumor antigens are also expressed on normal cells, inching personalized therapy back to the original problem.

JUST add water and sperm – any romance should be provided separately. In future, women who want to safeguard their fertility may be able to store their eggs at home as a powder. To revive them for an attempt at having a baby, all they would need to do is empty the sachet, add water, fertilise with sperm and implant the embryo. The technique was demonstrated with cow eggs last month at Cryo, a conference on cold-preservation techniques for eggs, sperm and embryos held in Berlin, Germany.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers returned to Boston on Thursday night, one of the towns that helped break them over 30 years ago, for the first of a two-night stand at the Comcast Center.
My Morning Jacket is the youngest opening act of the Mojo tour, with no band member old enough to remember the release of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in 76. Yet it's easy to see how the Kentucky quintet's dynamic rock anthems might have been influenced by hearing "Free Fallin'" on the FM radio as kids. Their set last night was powerful and dynamic and was greeted with excitement by the members of the audience who were able to leave work and get out to the suburban venue early.
Tonight's Mojo mini-set was tremendous: "Good Enough" was dark and menacing, "Running Man's Bible" rocked and rolled and "I Should Have Known It" was just plain mean. As they left the stage to euphoric applause, Tom paused at the mike and smiled, saying, "Boston, thank you very much for tonight and all the years of support. Goodnight and God bless!"
Night two in Boston on Saturday night! Come see us at the Comcast Center and keep checking back for more photos, videos and more!

Colin Stokes:
How movies teach manhood
When Colin Stokes' 3-year-old son caught a glimpse of "Star Wars," he was instantly obsessed. But what messages did he absorb from the sci-fi classic? Stokes asks for more movies that send positive messages to boys: that cooperation is heroic, and respecting women is as manly as defeating the villain.

Lemons Scores Double-Double; Cox Drains 20 as Women's Basketball Picks Up Revenge in 75-68 Win at Mars Hill
November 22, 2011
MARS HILL, N.C. - Down three with 15:44 remaining in the second half, the Pfeiffer University women's basketball team raced out on a 15-0 run en route to a 75-68 victory over host Mars Hill in non-conference action on Tuesday night. Brittany Cox started the rally with a three-point contributing with eight of her 20 on the night in the run as the Lady Falcons improve to 3-3 on the season while the Lady Lions fall to 3-2.
A triple by Jodie Lemons and layup by Cox put Pfeiffer up 14 with their largest lead of the night just past the midway point of the second half. Mars Hill's Ansley Ricker fould cut the Lions deficit to four with 51 ticks left until Shelley Reese and Cox free throws iced the contest for the visitors.
Lemons finished with 12 points and 14 rebounds in 24 minutes to post a huge double-double. Cox led the Lady Falcons with her team-high 20 points. Pfeiffer connected on nine long distance shots in the seven point win.
Mars Hill was led by Ricker's game-high 24 while Armeka Booker registered her own double-double with 11 points and 10 boards in just 16 minutes of action.
Pfeiffer will now enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday weekend before returning to the hardwood on Tuesday night hosting Barber Scotia at 6:00 p.m.

San Antonio Spurs (8-3) at Boston Celtics (6-5), 7:30 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The San Antonio Spurs know that no matter the score of the game, they need to keep their eyes on Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo.
After extending his double-digit assist streak with a bit of controversy last time out, Rondo will try to get the Celtics back into the win column on Wednesday night in a meeting with the Spurs.
Playing for the fourth time in five nights, the Celtics were routed 103-83 by the hosting Detroit Pistons on Sunday. Boston had won four of five coming in, but its seventh game in 10 days seemed to get the better of the club.
"Dead men walking," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "That's what it felt like. Really. Give Detroit credit. I thought they played extremely hard. ... We just had no legs."
Jared Sullinger came off the bench and netted 16 points and his bucket with 51 seconds remaining gave Rondo his 10th assist of the game. The Celtics seemed to be running their offense in favor of getting Rondo the helpers despite the blowout and Rivers said Rondo's assist streak was the reason he was still in the game at that point.
"Yeah, why not?" replied Rivers. "(The press) keeps talking about it, so I figured I would give him a shot at it. It's funny, the harder we tried, the worse we got at it."
Regardless of how he got there, Rondo has logged at least 10 assists in 34 straight games, the third-longest such streak in NBA history. It is the longest since John Stockton's 37-game run in 1989 and Magic Johnson holds the NBA record with 46 straight games with at least 10 assists accomplished from April 13, 1983-Feb. 28, 1984.
Rondo should have Paul Pierce to help him extend his streak tonight even though Pierce left the loss to Detroit in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. It isn't believed to be serious and the break between games likely helped the forward.
Boston will need all of its weapons given that it has lost 15 of its past 18 at home to the Spurs, including an 87-86 decision in the lone meeting last season. Rondo had 17 points and 11 assists in that game, while Tim Duncan led five Spurs players in double figures with 10 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks.
San Antonio will also gun for a return to the win column following Monday's 92-87 defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Spurs rallied to get within two with under 90 seconds to play, but the Clippers' Chris Paul hit a turnaround jumper and Gary Neal came up empty on a 3-point try.
Duncan recorded a double-double with 20 points and 14 rebounds, while Manu Ginobili totaled 15 points, five boards and five helpers for the Spurs, who shot 35 percent from the field in their second loss in three games. Tony Parker was limited to 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting.
"We had a very disappointing second quarter," said Duncan, referring to a frame in which the Spurs were outscored 29-14. "I thought we came out strong and had a very good first quarter and built some momentum but we really lost it all in the second quarter. We did fight the rest of the way and had a much better second half. We got to a striking distance and just could not close it out."
San Antonio now begins a six-game road trip without swingman Stephen Jackson, who is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks with a fractured finger suffered versus the Clippers. He is averaging 7.7 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in 10 contests this season, making two starts.
The Spurs are 4-1 on the road this season.

Revive old baskets for a picnic
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Vintage sewing baskets, in all of their embroidered glory, can be converted quickly to a picnic basket that doubles as a conversation piece. A retro brown picnic basket cleans up nice with fresh paint.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Vintage sewing baskets, in all of their embroidered glory, can be converted quickly to a picnic basket that doubles as a conversation piece. This is a Christmas-themed basket.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Vintage sewing baskets, in all of their embroidered glory, can be converted quickly to a picnic basket that doubles as a conversation piece. Paper flowers create a cottage garden on this basket.
Try these ideas for making the old new again.
Basket conversion
I was scouring a thrift store and saw the most pathetic lidded basket. I think it once housed a Christmas gift of sausages and sharp cheddar cheeses.
Something about it struck me as sweet. It was in the shape of a little cottage and, gosh, it came with tiny cottage windows.
I brought it home and started pulling off the holiday ornaments with pliers and sanding down the raised glue spots. The only way to salvage this basket was to layer it in a light paint to quiet it down a bit.
I gave the basket a couple coats of white/cream paint and hand-painted new brown-black shutters around the windows. I had to add flower boxes, too. Grass and landscaping went around the perimeter of the basket.
I glued on paper flowers to show something growing in the cottage garden. Sometimes I find paper-flower packets in the bargain bins at Michaels for a dollar or less.
I clear-coated everything to lock in my designs. This can even help the paper flowers to "bloom" longer.
The used-up gift basket made a lovely comeback as a white, Cape Cod-style cottage that holds lunch for one or two.
Basket paint job
You've got a vintage brown woven picnic basket and it's sweet, but time and dust make it dull and uninspiring.
Pull out the paint and stencils, because it's time to give it a new lease on life. If you improve the basket, you'll be more likely to fill it and use it.
Use a cleaning rag and solvent spray to scrub your basket clean. Sand the finish to roughen it slightly. Clean using the solvent one final time. Let it fully dry, for a few hours, before you paint.
Even if you are painting the basket its existing color, a fresh coat will make it feel new again. Change the hue, and you'll create a whole new picnic basket.
If you have exterior-grade paint left over from a household project, use it. This type of paint works for picnic baskets because it offers a quasi-water-resistant barrier for unexpected spills, pool splashes and sudden rain showers. Durable, wipe-clean latex will work, too.
Give the basket two coats with drying time in between, or follow the instructions on your paint product. Work the brush into the basket weaves and crevices. Sometimes it takes looking at the basket from many angles to make sure that you have covered the nooks and crannies.
Consider wiring silk, velvet or vintage flower sprays to the handle. Sometimes extra accoutrements like silk flowers or even ribbons can really perk up a basket.
If you want to put an artist's touch to this and you're good with a paintbrush and drawing, paint the basket creatively with flowers, garlands or another motif.
Or try a stencil. Online resources offer fabulously detailed stencils, and craft stores have many easy-to-use options for creating designs that look like complex paintings. Look for furniture and craft stencils, which will often produce the right scale, as opposed to wall-art stencils.
Follow the directions on your stencil and make your design using the appropriate brushes.
After the designs dry, seal the lid with a couple of coats of a matte clear-coat spray, such as Krylon's clear sealer. You can also coat the basket with a coat of clear spray paint.
Retro sewing baskets
Sometimes the cutest picnic baskets can come from repurposing.
I have always cherished my grandmother's large, woven sewing baskets. I have collected a few others, too. I converted them to picnic baskets, and I get to share their incredible embroidered designs with people as I fill them up with delicious lunch items.
No longer must these historical beauties lurk on a dark shelf in my home.
Gut the sewing basket.
Take out all of the plastic spool and needle separation trays to make room.
Pack well!
Don't pack the sewing box so full of heavy items that you risk breaking the handles. Carry your drinks in a separate cooler keep them cold. Put lighter items in the basket.

As many of you know, last weekend the ASPCA and responders from The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) removed more than 360 dogs from dog fighting properties in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. Many are emaciated, with scars and wounds consistent with dog fighting. They're spending their first days learning what it's like to receive adequate care.
The dogs and puppies are safe now. They'll never suffer in extreme heat without access to water. They'll never be chained to cinder blocks and car tires again. And they'll never be forced to fight.
Right now, the ASPCA is providing shelter, veterinary care, healthy food and much-needed attention and affection to hundreds of dogs and puppies. Our work is far from over. It's a massive undertaking that will require months of food and supplies and man hours to ensure these dogs get the best possible care. Veterinary professionals, behavior professionals and so many others will be involved.
Please take a moment to watch and share our rescue video. You'll see some of the dogs we rescued, as well as the real conditions these dogs were forced to endure.
Stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue. If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA.
Can't imagine a world without the ASPCA. Thank you so so much for all that you do. You make my heart smile. Such wonderful news that you saved these dogs.
Words cannot express what I am feeling when I heard about the bust on the news. Thank you so much for what you did. God bless these babies and I pray for them a good life.
The people at the ASPCA are so wonderful and caring!! What a difference you make to these poor lost souls. It is so great to see these guys helping these animals and giving them love on the spot with a little hug or kiss on the head. God bless you all!! Keep up the good work and don't forget about these poor animals that need your help!! I agree - these people must pay...in jail.
Thank you for rescuing these dogs, no animal should be forced to live a violent life just to satisfy sadistic people who love to see animas getting injured. Keep up the good work!
ASPCA, I always watch these rescue videos with tears in my eyes. Mixture of sadness for the victims and gratitude for the rescue crew. Bless you all and bless the animals.
Interesting (in a bad way) how much of this brutal crap seems to happen in the miserable Red/GOP states. Hmm, what's the connection?
So very sad and awfull thank goodness they were saved we each need to keep up the work of insiting that laws are put in place to send people to jail who do these things.the big question though do these fighting dogs get a home? many people are afraid of pitbulls many people would like to outlaw the breed what do you do with a dog that has been rescued but lived for many years on the end of a chain i know that shelters are overflowing so what does happen to the dogs?

OXFORD, Ohio – Sooner or later, one has to go in.
That mantra was the theme of the Miami field hockey team's 2-1 double overtime win over Central Michigan at the Miami Field Hockey Complex on Saturday afternoon.
The RedHawks (9-9, 3-2 Mid-American) outshot the Chippewas (6-11, 3-2 MAC) 27-8, but the game was nearly sent a shootout before Ali Froede ended it with 2:31 left in the second overtime period.
The Red and White held a 6-2 advantage in shots, with four of those attempts on goal, in a scoreless first half. The RedHawks also created five penalty corners while allowing the Chippewas only one attempt from the corner. CMU keeper Sadie Reynolds stopped all four attempts to hold MU off the board.
While CMU only had two shots, both were on goal, forcing Sarah Mueller to make some quality saves. The Chippewas' first chance came on an Abby Roth penalty stroke in the 16th minute of play. Roth fired a shot to Mueller's right and she reacted quickly to turn away the uncontested shot. Her other save came on a Bailey McKeon attempt that was set up by CMU's lone penalty corner of the half.
MU finally got on the board in the 45th minute when Valentina Neira swung a pass to Emily Gruesser down the right side of the attacking circle. Gruesser had a clear path to the net and worked the ball around Reynolds for her sixth goal of the year to put the Red and White on top 1-0.
It took less than six minutes for the Chippewas to respond. In the 51st minute, CMU earned a penalty corner and took full advantage. After the entry pass, the ball eventually was served to Bailey McKeon, who flung a shot that was tipped by Jordyn Brengosz to even the score at one apiece.
CMU's goal would cap the regulation scoring, even though MU dominated statistically. The RedHawks outshot the Chippewas 11-2 while holding a 6-3 edge in penalty corners during the final regulation period. Despite the heavy shot advantage, regulation would not be enough to decide it.
Miami outshot the Chippewas 6-3 in the first overtime, placing five of those attempts on the cage. Reynolds stood tall for CMU, however, turning aside each of those attempts to force another overtime period.
The second overtime period appeared to be going the way of the first as time and again Miami put together a scoring opportunity only to see it negated by Reynolds' play in goal or a CMU defensive play. With the final overtime period winding down and penalty strokes an increasingly real possibility, Froede had the game on her stick. After working herself into the circle, Froede launched a shot from the top of the attacking circle that beat Reynolds far side for her ninth goal of the year. That tally put MU into the win column and moved it into a second-place tie in the standings with CMU.
In addition to the 27-8 edge in shots, MU finished up with a 13-6 lead in penalty corners. Bea Dechant led all players with seven shots.
While most of the shots were directed towards Reynolds (17 saves on 19 shots), Mueller did make two strong saves on the three shots CMU put on goal.
The RedHawks conclude their regular season with a non-conference showdown against Providence on Sunday. That contest begins at noon.

Great and PERSONAL
We decided to order the matching thank you cards that went with our invitations. We noticed the inside of the card had stripes but thought it could still look good. The next business day, I had a missed call and voicemail from one of the employees of MagnetStreet confirming we wanted the stripes and mentioned that it could be hard to write on. I asked if we could have the stripes removed and she said absolutely. I thought that was really great and personal that they took the time out of their day to make sure we wanted something in our card that could have actually ended up being an issue.
Beautiful card
I love the way this card came out. I love the paper and the quality of printing. I printed in black and white so I don't know if color would look the same. Very excited!!!
Quality Products!!
I have ordered everything for my wedding from magnet street, from save the date cards, invites, table settings to the thank you cards and have loved each and every item I have recieved!! They are extremely affordable and yet the quality of every product is so great, you would think we paid double than what we did. I was originally hesitant to order online but when we recieved our save the date magnets, we knew we could trust that everything we ordered would be perfect. Another amazing aspect of the site is that everything is so customizable that I genuinely felt my invites and stationary were unique and something no one had seen before. I didnt think the wedding stationary was very important but was so impressed by the compliments I recieved from my friends and family. I would absolutely recommend this and any other product from magnet street!!
bridesmaid gift!
I made a set of these for a bridesmaid gift and personalized it with her name! They turned out BEAUTIFUL! The colors are vivid and the detailing is sharp. I just LOVE how they turned out!
Great design!

Stern, kind, quiet and playful.
That is how Kim Flournoy-DiJoseph described her mom, Kim Hua Flournoy, who died nearly a year ago after an evening spent enjoying her favorite pastime: bingo.
"She loved it for as long as I can remember," Flournoy-DiJoseph said. "(As a child) I would go with her and spend time with her. She always had these lucky charms ... a small jade rabbit and a small Pekingese dog that looked like her dog, Ling-Ling."
Flournoy was shot outside TNT Beach Bingo hall on Henderson Drive Dec. 30.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Flournoy-DiJoseph found out about her mother's death after a night of celebration with friends and family.
Dec. 30 also is Flournoy-DiJoseph's birthday.
"I would have been playing air hockey with my son around the time of the shooting," Flournoy-DiJoseph said. "When I found out about it, I was on my front porch and I saw a Facebook message from my mom's friend's daughter telling me to call her. She told me something happened to my mom and I found out later what happened."
Flournoy-DiJoseph, who is a social worker at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va., said her mother was someone who valued family — and that included the people she worked with at the mess hall aboard Camp Lejeune. Flournoy-DiJoseph said although her mother was tough on colleagues, it came from a genuine love, not only of them, but of the Marines.
Flournoy-DiJoseph said she saw that love reciprocated in a ceremony held at the mess hall in her mother's honor on Tuesday that included a cake, Christmas presents for her son and a Chinese menu to honor Flournoy's heritage.
"They went all out," Flournoy-DiJoseph said. "She was someone they respected but could also laugh with."
Flournoy-DiJoseph said her mother's toughness and love for the underdog, which she would express through her love of sports, came from an upbringing in Malaysia, where items of want and need were difficult to come by. After marrying a Marine named Samuel, Flournoy came to Jacksonville in 1972 and after several subsequent deployments, the family, which now includes two children — Flournoy-DiJoseph and her brother, Sam — returned to Jacksonville permanently. Flournoy-DiJoseph's father died of a brain aneurism in 1979 that left her mother to raise her and her brother alone.
Her mother taught her persistence and the importance of being there for others — qualities that serve her job as a social worker, Flournoy-DiJoseph said.
"The loss of our father impacted her ability to be there for us ... she taught me the importance of being a safe person and developing trust and relationships," Flournoy-DiJoseph said. "She always had a sense of persistence, to survive at all costs."
Flournoy-DiJoseph said one of the hardest parts of dealing with her mother's death is explaining it to her 3-year-old son, who she says still has a difficult time wrapping his mind around the reality that his grandmother is gone.
It's a reminder she has to make over and over again.
"It's not like telling an adult who will understand what's going on in two words," Flournoy-DiJoseph said. "He has to be told a hundred times."
Another layer of difficulty for Flournoy-DiJoseph came in April, when Larry Forrest, a Marine, was arrested in connection with her mother's death.
"I felt a lot of betrayal," Flournoy-DiJoseph said. "With my father being a Marine and as much as (my mother) dedicated to serving the Marine Corps ... a Marine should know better."
Though the past year has been a difficult one for Flournoy-DiJoseph, she said a support group, made up in part by members of Jacksonville Police Department and the department's victim advocacy program, have made the path toward healing an easier one.
"(Officers) were like a team pushing a boulder out of the way," Flournoy-DiJoseph said. "There was a relief after the arrest. It was the end of a chapter; though there are still others to be written."
Det. Gary Manning of Jacksonville Police Department said that in his 12 years of police work, this has been his hardest case.
JPD spokeswoman Beth Purcell said officers involved with the case "ate, slept and breathed" the case without ceasing.
"The more investigation we did, the more we realized who she was," Manning said. "It was such a senseless crime."
Flournoy-DiJoseph said the thing her brother brings up most about the investigation was the community's outpouring of support and efforts to bring the case to a close.
Though Flournoy-DiJoseph said her upbringing in Jacksonville wasn't always easy, the death of her mother gave her a new perspective on her hometown, which she once found 'confining' as a teenager.
"This made me value my hometown in a way I haven't before," Flournoy-DiJoseph said. "I've found that confining is an adolescent term for a tight-knit community."
The two men arrested in connection with Flournoy's slaying, Forrest and James Edward Williamson, are being held at Onslow County Jail without bond. Forrest is scheduled for a Jan. 21, 2014 court appearance. Williamson is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 11, 2014.

The Department of Tropical Medicine has a long and proud history of contributions to the fields of parasitology and tropical medicine. The department is one of the oldest of its kind in the world, and has established a strong international reputation for research in vector-borne and other tropical infectious diseases. Although its origins are based in classical parasitology, tropical medicine coursework and research programs span the breadth of public health and infectious disease problems across the globe. Students benefit from the opportunity to learn from faculty members doing cutting-edge research in a number of bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases. Students have the opportunity to work in the field and/or labs in areas as diverse as Colombia, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Mali, Peru, Sierra Leone, and Zambia. This is an exciting time for faculty, staff, and students in the Department of Tropical Medicine as they continue the development of novel diagnostics, new antimalarial drugs, malaria vaccine and new tools for vector control.
Graduates of the Master of Public Health and Tropical Medicine program are prepared to work for the U.S. government, in private practice, or for non-governmental organizations. Graduates of the Master of Science in Public Health program are prepared to work in disease control programs or parasitology diagnostic and academic and research laboratories. Many graduates enter medical school or doctor of philosophy programs. The Doctor of Philosophy program trains professionals in field, epidemiological, and state-of-the-art laboratory studies of tropical diseases in order to assume responsibilities for tropical disease research and control programs.

BAYBORO — Pamlico coach Heidi Griffee heads to the softball diamond each day with more to teach.
The Hurricanes, with no seniors and just three juniors, are eager to learn.
It's like a fresh start for the softball program.
The Hurricanes have six freshmen, two sophomores and a junior in the daily starting lineup. Not only are they staying competitive, they are excited about what's to come for the future of the team.
"I think it's great that we are young," said Pamlico first-year head coach Griffee, who was previously the JV coach and assistant varsity coach. "I would rather build young and have them learn our standards.
"They are onboard with that standard, and that's going to help us build the program and get the program back on top."
Five years ago, the Hurricanes had a talented group of freshmen — including Kara Cayton, Allison Hollowell, Darian Roberts and Katie Lachman — that led the softball team to unprecedented heights.
This new cast hopes to eventually help Pamlico get back to prominence.
"It's a great foundation," Griffee said. "The difference in them is that they are willing to learn. They are ready to come out here every day, rain or shine, and get to work."
The Hurricanes are 4-7 overall, but 0-2 in the Coastal Plains Conference. Their marquee win was an 8-1 clobber over New Bern.
Sophomore catcher Alexis Eastwood hit one of her three home runs in the victory.
"We all mesh together like a team should," said Eastwood. "We talk to each other and have confidence in one another. Even batting with two outs, we have to believe in everyone."
The Hurricanes will tangle with Jones Senior on Thursday and Southwest Onslow on Tuesday. Both games are at home.
Griffee is hoping her squad can still make a push for the conference title.
Even if the Hurricanes can't win a championship, they appear to have a bright future over the next three years.
"I think we will be able to look back at this point and say this is where we started compared to where we are now" Griffee said. "I think they have the drive and fight in them to want to be at the top of the conference and in the playoffs."
Eastwood leads Pamlico with a plus .400 batting average.
"(Eastwood) has been solid," Griffee said. "This is the best I've seen her bat. She plays travel ball in the summer, which has helped her a lot. She is killing the ball right now.
"She comes up confident. She doesn't try to hit home runs, but when they come, they come."
Freshman Briana Jones, a star on the girls' basketball team, is the leadoff hitter.
Freshman Martha Bautista mans third base, freshman Gaby Lugo is a first, freshmen Treasure Banks and Jones are in the outfield and freshman Maureesha Jones plays infield and outfield.
Sophomore Kelsey Guimbal and junior Peyton Davis fill the middle infield positions, while Eastwood makes the calls from behind the plate.
"We've played on the same team for a long time, so we know how each other work and play," Bautista said. "I think we will continue to progress over time."
The Hurricanes are young on the mound as well. Freshman Morgan Swindell, along with Guimbal and sophomore Morgan Andrews share the pitching responsibilities.
While the team lacks a lot of high school varsity experience, Griffee said she is confident in their abilities.
"They wouldn't be in the lineup if I didn't think they could get the job done," she said. "I think it's going to be great to see them progress."
The Hurricanes are using this season as a building block for the future.
Bautista added that one of their best attributes is their ability to pick each other up.
"Once somebody starts, everybody gets rowdy and believes they can do it too," she said.
