Haven't stayed around DCA into the evening to see World Of Color (yet)
my family and i did the canoes for the first time ever our last trip. It was awesome, mostly because i had always wanted to try it but for some reason never did. The lines were so short last week when we were there we had time to do some many things more than once!!
"I wish I could just live in Disneyland...I am never happier than when in that magical land... The peace it brings me is almost overwhelming"
1985 - First Trip to Disneyland with my parents and brother. (Age 11)

Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln is definitely on my list of things to do first thing next time I visit... Being such a huge Disneyland fan, it ashamed me to say I've never even seen GM with Mr. Lincoln, in my U.S History class the other day.
Because Bert Said So!
1. Dream Suite
2. Walt's apartment
3. Club 33 (will be off the list in 9 days!!)
4. 1901
5. Ride Jingles the carousel horse
6. Caboose on the train
7. Canoes
8. Casey Jr.
9. Mr. Lincoln (I think I did this as a child but want to do it again)
10. Pull the sword from the stone
11. Dapper Day
12. Star Wars Day
13. Bats Day
14. Harry Potter Day
15. Pretty much any and every themed day because it adds another dimension to the visit!
16. Wake the tiki room birds
17. Walk off rides
18. Main street vehicles (I've only done one!)
I'm sure there's more!! Everytime I cross something off my list, I discover something new to try, which is why I will never tire of the parks. A lot of these things I didn't know about until MiceChat, so thank you all for sharing and thank you for starting this thread!!

Thank you to Poisonedapples for my awesome signature!
KellyMcG86's Disneyland To Do List
I don't think this would be possible unless I was on the maintenance staff but I have always wanted to walk the Peoplemover track. Not the long, twisty part out in the open. The parts that go through buildings. I'm pretty sure the Innoventions section was wiped out. The track still goes through the top of Star Tours and it looks like it still goes through Space Mountain. Since it wrapped around the outside of Space Mountain, I'd imagine that it was just left alone when the major reconstruction happened. I wonder if there's anything left inside Astro Blasters?
Another thing I have always wanted to do is take chicken exits... all of them. Some of them are pretty interesting. I've only taken them when rides have closed down but the ones that look exciting are the inner exits of Space Mountain and anything after the elevator in Haunted Mansion. POTC would be cool too but I'm not jumping off that boat!
PS- First Post! WOO!
I've never been inside the Golden Horseshoe. I'd like to do that on my next trip.
I've never been on Tower of Terror. If I can find it in myself to dismiss my fear of heights for long enough maybe I'll get to take that elevator ride someday.
I haven't seen Tom Sawyer's Island since before it got the Pirate's Lair refurbishment.
I've never been on California Screamin'. I don't ever plan on going on it but it is something I have never done.
I have never really explored It's a Bug's Land. I walked through it briefly in 2008 but I have never done any of the attractions or really spent any quality time in the spot.
"The old man's gonna knock on the sky. Listen to the sound."
AP'er since 2004. Yup.....I'm one of THEM.
About all I have to do to complete Disneyland is everything on/in the ROA, Main Street Vehicles, and need to see Fantasmic. I'd "like" to see the holiday overlays however, but sometimes scheduling doesn't work out.
stay in dreamsuite
would love to go all over backstage
would love to have the entire park to me and 100 of my closest friends
would love to camp overnight on the island
would love a vip tour where i didnt have to wait for any rides
Sword in the Stone- I wish they still had the ceremony! I have never gotten the chance to try and pull it out
Dine at Club 33
See World of Color
This would never happen-but I would love to ride a horse down Main Street in a parade!
Tour the wheelhouse of the Mark Twain
Stay a night or two at the Disneyland Hotel-I live only 10 min away from the park so there's never been a need, but I have always wanted to do this!
See the real Muppets do a film shoot in the park.
Meet John Lasseter -This could happen anywhere, but it would be cool at Disneyland!

Visteon Debuts Connected Cockpit Concept Collaboration with Renault at 2014 International CES
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 06 January 2014 Release date- 03012014 - LAS VEGAS, - Visteon Corporation (NYSE:VC) presents its new connected cockpit electronics solution developed in collaboration with Renault at the 2014 International CES at the Las Vegas Convention Center, (Central Plaza #20) from Jan. 7-10.
Unveiled at the LeWeb'13 Paris event in December, Visteon's cockpit demonstrator offers an insight into ways drivers and passengers can interact with autonomous driving features for driver delegation.
As Renault's chosen architect and system integrator, Visteon delivered the cockpit electronics user experience for the demonstrator. The many connected car functions are demonstrated via a multi-modal human-machine interface of voice, touch and advanced displays. The cockpit enables drivers and passengers to seamlessly continue their 'digital lives' in the vehicle by offering access to features such as video calls while in autonomous driving mode.
'Building on many years of innovation and concept collaboration with Renault, the cockpit demonstrator showcases Visteon's core strengths in delivering innovative user experiences,' said Martin T. Thall, president, Visteon Electronics. 'Combining our flexible hardware and open software solutions, we are able to provide our customers with a powerful platform for innovation and advanced development projects.' Working within an ecosystem of mainly non-automotive technology partners, Visteon used agile development methods to deliver the connected cockpit concept in a very short timeframe. Applying its proprietary user interface software framework, Visteon was able to integrate rapidly changing requirements throughout the development process.
Visteon Electronics, a division of Visteon Corporation, is a leading supplier of automotive cockpit electronics that delivers innovative in-vehicle user experiences through solutions in user interfaces, connectivity and open architectures. Supported by a global network of 16 manufacturing facilities, four technical centers and 11 customer centers, Visteon Electronics employs approximately 5,000 people in its consolidated operations.

While it may seem that the voting fever has gripped Mumbai, the same is yet to reflect in the polling numbers as of early Thursday morning. Voting percentages continued to remain low in most parts of the.
In Mumbai South Central, which consists of Dadar and Mahim areas, the voting was a meagre 6.03%, while Mumbai South did a little better at 7.40%.
North Mumbai fared much better at 9% and North West at 7.99%.
The worst turn out yet this morning has been in North Central though, with a meagre 5% of the voter base having turned up to vote this morning. North Central is seeing a tough battle between the Congress' local heavyweight Priya Dutt and the BJP's Poonam Mahajan.

ICU-acquired weakness: what is preventing its rehabilitation in critically ill patients?

BMC Medicine 2012, 10:115 doi:10.1186/1741-7015-10-115Published: 3 October 2012
Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) has been recognized as an important and persistent complication in survivors of critical illness. The absence of a consistent nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for ICUAW has made research in this area challenging. Although many risk factors have been identified, the data supporting their direct association have been controversial. Presently, there is a growing body of literature supporting the utility and benefit of early mobility in reducing the morbidity from ICUAW, but few centers have adopted this into their ICU procedures. Ultimately, the implementation of such a strategy would require a shift in the knowledge and culture within the ICU, and may be facilitated by novel technology and patient care strategies. The purpose of this article is to briefly review the diagnosis, risk factors, and management of ICUAW, and to discuss some of the barriers and novel treatments to improve outcomes for our ICU survivors.

08.12.05 - By Gabriel DeCrease: If Winky Wright gets by Sam Soliman on December 10th, he will have demonstrated beyond any doubt that he deserves to be first-in-line to fight Jermain Taylor in the new champs second defense of the fistful of straps he wrestled from Bernard Hopkins. Both the fans and the press are in a rare state of universal agreement about that. But news has surfaced that presents cause for concern that Lou DiBella, Taylors promoter, will nix the matchup, at least delay it indefinitely, before it ever gets off the ground.
Wright is a heavy favorite to run circles around the capable, yet largely untested, Soliman in their elimination bout that will determine who gets a crack at the now-vacant IBF belt. Unless the technically-deadly Wright breaks form and gives Soliman a big opening and Sam lands with unexpected force, Winky should be able to cruise past him.
And with both Taylor and Wright coming off crucial fights (as Soliman is ranked #1 by the IBF), would be in the perfect position to ink a deal and begin promoting a fight. The stage is set, but the agent for half the cast is trying to stop production.
Lou Dibella was quoted just after Taylor won his rematch against Hopkins as saying, "It would be a crime to put Jermain in another tough fight without a breather after going 24-rounds with Bernard Hopkins
we expect a fight with Winky by next summer, but Jermain deserves a rest. DiBella is, arguably, the lesser evil in a sport where Bob Arum and Don King are neck-and-neck in their race to see who gets to wear the horns and hold the pitchfork in 2006with Frank Warren a lock to walk in cloven hooves. However, DiBellas decision could prove detrimental to his fighters reputation, and to boxing in general. Taylors detractors are many, and they ardently claim that Hopkins was the clear victor in both fights. In reality, it seems either fight could have gone either way, but it is neither here-nor-there now. It was no small test to go the distance in two world championship fights with The Executioner, but Jermain is young and fresh. He would not be the first fighter to take three consecutive bouts against top-competition. Diego Corrales fought a pair of brutal fights with the rugged Joel Cassamayor, and then slugged it out for ten-rounds with the free-swinging Acelino Freitas. Immediately after that, he went into his soon-to-be a trilogy with Jose Luis Castillo, which, by the way, has been hellishly bruising so far. Thats six wars in a row. Taylor can handle three considering his duels with Hopkins took on a decidedly technical tenor. Taylor has also not taken much punishment on his way to the top, certainly less than most. His talent protected him from eating leather and taking risks, but so did Lou DiBella. Bad Intentions needs to give the public proof that he is the top dog at 160-pounds if he has good intentions for his credibility as a unified champion. He needs to make a statement. He might not be in that position if he had knocked Hopkins out, or beaten him more convincingly.
Wright responded almost immediately to DiBella by saying, I went 24-rounds with Shane Mosley and another 12 with Felix Trinidad, in a new weight-class, back-to-back-to-back, and I'm seven-years-older than Jermain. Sounds to me like Jermain's promoter doesn't have a high level of confidence in his fighter. Whether DiBella has faith in Jermain or not, and he probably does, Wright is a risk. Fighting Winky is a risk for anyone. It is almost impossible to neutralize a well-conditioned, well-schooled veteran technician who is impervious to the ego-driven pride and bursts of rage that can derail a slick-boxer in a big fight. Winky is absolutely Zen in the ring. He has a plan and sticks to it, now more than ever in this surprising late-peak. Even Oscar De La Hoya seemed to want no part of him in the junior-middleweight division.
In one breath DiBella said he hopes to set up a fight between Winky and Jermain by summer 2006, and then in the next backed off a bit saying, From there [after the breather fight], we're looking for the biggest fights possible. Winky Wright, the winner of Vargas-Mosley, if it's Vargas and the weight is rightwe want the biggest fights possible. We're not going to duck anybody. There are few who would maintain that the winner of Vargas vs. Mosley would provide anything like the test Taylor would get going up against Winky Wright. El Feroz has been shy of ferocious in his comeback, and looks a shadow of his former-self, and Mosely has looked shot ever since, well, his pair of decisive losses to Winky Wright. DiBella is off-base if he thinks that a move down to 154 will be lucrative or effectual. Taylor would lose something big if he cut weight; bear in mind, Bad Intentions walks around between fights at well over 175-pounds. And baiting Mosley or Vargas up to 160 would be an insult to the intelligence of boxing fans worldwide. Either guy would look as blown-up as Oscar De La Hoya did against Bernard Hopkins and Felix Sturm. If DiBella wants so badly to put Jermain in the ring with a junior-middleweight, he should ask Don King for Roman Karmazin, the tough and diabolically slick Russian champion doesnt have a fight scheduled and would likely prove more than a handful for Taylor at 154, a 158-pound catch weight, or 160.
What happened to the days when a fight was made because its time had come, both fighters were in position, and the public demanded it?
Wright is the right choice for Taylors next matchup. Taylor isnt getting any more credible, and Winky isnt getting any younger. This one needs to happen while it is still mutually beneficial, at least potentially, for both fighters. In addition, no one has earned a shot more than Winky Wright, boxings perpetually left-behind workhorse. That said, Lou DiBella may well just be trying to find the biggest payday that offers the smallest risk for his man. That is, of course, a rotten approach to matchmaking, but in that case, Wright is not the guy to tangle with. But DiBella might then want to look at the still-green Kingsley Ikeke or Macelino Masoe, a guy who is a legitimate middleweight, at least. A tune-up defense against the likes of Edison Miranda or Randy Griffin, followed up with a dehydrated or pumped up (depending on who moves in weight) crack at Vargas or Mosley will do nothing but damage Taylors marketability and smother the fire that took him from bell-to-bell with The Executioner because from the sound-of-things Taylor will not need it to win where hes going.

This past week, Shilpa Shetty could not judge the dance reality show on TV as son Viaan had taken ill and was hospitalised. Guess who stepped in for her? Choreographer Saroj Khan! Saroj, who was the first judge on the show, was called in at the eleventh hour as a replacement for the mom-in-distress, and the veteran had no hassles. There were some initial rumours about Shilpa having left the show due to a fall-out with the producers but those were laid to rest when the actress tweeted about her son's improving health and thanking the producers.

HoopsHype Darrell Walker rumors
Jeff Goodman: Former NBA guard Darrell Walker -- now an NBA assistant -- is in the mix for the Arkansas-Little Rock opening, source told ESPN. Twitter @GoodmanESPN
The Reno Bighorns are in search of a new head coach and an NBA lifer who's most remembered for his time with the New York Knicks is being considered for the job. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, former NBA guard Darrell Walker is one of a handful candidates who have interviewed for the position. Multiple reports have suggested that the Sacramento Kings, who run basketball operations for the Bighorns, have already decided on the team's next head coach. However, sources have told Cowbell Kingdom that they've yet to make a hire. Cowbell Kingdom
Jon Santiago: Interesting note: Former Knicks guard Darrell Walker was at Kings practice today. Was an assistant on former Knicks HC Mike Woodson's staff. Twitter @itsjonsantiago
His persistence was on display before the tip Wednesday. He spotted Darrell Walker, a Knicks assistant whom Bhatia has known since Walker's brief tenure as the Raptors' coach, from 1996 to 1998. "Darrell!" Bhatia yelped. "Darrell! Coach! Darrell! Darrell!" Walker turned around — what choice did he have? — and grabbed a seat. "What's up, Nav?" he said. "Look at you with the bling!" Bhatia was wearing several sparkly pieces of jewelry. His watch was practically the size of a chandelier. "I have to be in touch with these young people!" Bhatia said. "I have to look good! I have to have my bling bling on!" New York Times
However, a source close to the situation says that Woodson's assistants, who are all working under one year contracts, have not been given assurances that they will return. New York Daily News
If Woodson is fired it is believed that his entire coaching staff will be dismissed as well. That includes Jim Todd, Darrell Walker, Jerry Dunn, David Hopla and LaSalle Thompson. New York Daily News
Off to the side of the Knicks' practice court yesterday, standing in a corner outside the locker room, J.R. Smith was talking to reporters when assistant coach Darrell Walker chimed in. "Got your back to the corner, huh, young fella?" Walker said. "You know what happens when they back a dog in the corner?" "Oh, I know," a cheerful Smith replied. "We're gonna find out." New York Post
The list of known candidates for the Pistons' coaching vacancy, currently at four, appears poised to swell to five. Sources say that Knicks assistant coach Darrell Walker will soon get an interview for the position vacated by Lawrence Frank. The Pistons have already interviewed the available Nate McMillan, Suns interim coach Lindsey Hunter, Spurs assistant coach Mike Budenholzer and Rockets assistant J.B. Bickerstaff. ESPN.com
Chris Mannix: Knicks assistant coach Darrell Walker is a candidate for the Pistons coaching job, sources say. Walker was a Pistons assistant from '08-'11 Twitter
On the day Ray Williams passed away, was it karma or coincidence Micheal Ray Richardson was on the Knicks' scene Friday night at Air Canada Centre? The Knicks drafted Williams with the 10th pick in 1977 to be Walt Frazier's successor. Williams and backcourt mate Richardson were supposed to lead the Knicks back to the promised land. Last night, the Garden held a moment of silence for Williams and original Knick, Bud Palmer. Never worked out that way. "I'm real sad,'' Richardson told The Post Friday night while watching the Knicks beat the Raptors. "He and I were like brothers.'' Williams died yesterday after battling colon cancer at Sloane Kettering Hospital at age 58. Richardson is living in Canada, coaching the nearby London Lightning of the NBL, and had stopped by to visit his former teammates, Knicks coach Mike Woodson and assistant Darrell Walker. New York Post
Richardson spoke to Williams for 45 minutes Monday. "We talked about the olden times, about how life isn't fair but sometimes it's what you do with it,'' Richardson said. "He was a tough defender, he could do it all. A big guy in the locker room. We all did think that (he'd be a superstar). Things happen. He was traded. I was traded. I got into something I shouldn't have gotten into.'' New York Post
"A lot of different teams were reaching out to me and I was weighing my options," Brewer said to HOOPSWORLD. "At the end of the day, it didn't come down to money. It came down to the best situation for me, as a person and as a player. I wanted to go somewhere I could win and have success. I wanted to go to a situation where playing basketball would be fun and I would enjoy doing it. You can go to a team that's not as a good so that you thrive a little bit more, even though you're losing, but that's not fun to me. I wanted to go to a place where I could win." "From day one, the Knicks were on me and my agent," Brewer said. "I had some relationships with people in the organization. Darrell Walker, one of the assistant coaches, and Damon Jones, who works in the front office, both went to Arkansas and they reached out to me. Coach Woodson reached out to me and the GM reached out to me as well. I felt like they really wanted me and I was an important target for their team, maybe the missing piece for them to be successful. It felt good to have the coaches and management reach out to me and recruit me." HoopsWorld
Amar'e Stoudemire was back at the scene of his crime, and some Knicks wouldn't let him live down what he did the last time he was here. Rookie Josh Harrellson called Stoudemire "The Extinguisher." Assistant coach Darrell Walker pulled out an autographed copy of a newspaper with Stoudemire on it, leaving AmericanAirlines Arena with his left arm in a sling and his left hand heavily wrapped from punching a fire extinguisher in frustration after Game 2. Newsday
It's getting tougher and tougher to scoff when someone suggests that ex-Knicks coach and general manager Isiah Thomas continues to possess a decent measure of influence in Madison Square Garden matters. Mike Woodson and Glen Grunwald, two longtime Zeke cohorts, happen to be the Knicks' current coach and GM.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., –- Scientists working with salmon have found that gene expression in the brain can differ significantly among members of a species with different life histories. Their study indicates that roughly 15 percent of Atlantic salmon genes show differential expression in males who migrate from their freshwater birthplaces to mature in oceans versus those who do not leave the freshwater environment to mature. The researchers, at Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts and the US Geological Survey, report the finding in the current issue of Proceedings of the Royal Society B. They compared female salmon, male salmon that will eventually undertake the well-known journey from their river birthplaces to oceans –- and then migrate heroically back upstream one to three years later to spawn –- and males of the same age known as "sneakers" that mature at greatly reduced size without leaving freshwater. "The finding that hundreds of the nearly 3,000 genes we studied were expressed differently in the brains of sneakers and other male salmon came as a surprise," says Nadia Aubin-Horth, a postdoctoral researcher in the Bauer Center for Genomics Research in Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. "Since these males of the same species in the same wild environment differed only in their life history, we did not expect the expression of so many of their genes to differ." Aubin-Horth and her colleagues were also surprised by some of the 17 separate classes of genes demonstrating differing activity levels.

Durham, N.C. – A gene that plays many fundamental roles in cells throughout the body has, for the first time, been implicated in human disease, according to researchers at the Duke Center for Human Genetics. A defect in the ubiquitous gene dynamin 2 underlies one form of the prevalent, familial nerve disorder, known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). The disorder affects approximately 1 in every 2,500 people, making it one of the most common of all hereditary disorders, said the researchers. Their findings also reveal a previously unknown link between CMT and a deficiency of white blood cells, suggesting that defects in dynamin 2 might underlie both conditions, the researchers reported in the Jan. 30, 2005, issue of Nature Genetics. The discovery -- together with earlier findings of genes that can also cause the genetically heterogeneous and debilitating disease -- is providing new insight into the nervous system, said first author of the study Stephan Züchner, M.D., assistant professor of psychiatry and member of the Duke Center for Human Genetics. Also, he said, the findings bring a better understanding of the types of defects that might, in general, lead to peripheral nerve disorders. © 2001-2005 Duke University Medical Center

BOSTON- Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have compiled the first atlas showing the locations of crucial gene regulators, or switches that determine how different parts of the brain develop – and, in some cases, develop abnormally or malfunction. The scientists say the map will accelerate research on brain tumors and neurological diseases that result from mutations in these switch genes – called "transcription factors." When these genes are altered, the genes they control can go awry, causing abnormalities in the development or function of nerves and related structures. Although the gene regulators were pinpointed using mouse brains, the map applies to the human brain as well. "This is the first systematic mapping of all of the major brain areas that shows what regulatory genes are expressed in those specific locations," said Quifu Ma, PhD, of Dana-Farber's Cancer Biology Department. He is senior author of a paper appearing in today's online issue of the journal Science, along with Charles D. Stiles, PhD, also of Dana-Farber. Transcription factors are genes that control the expression, or activity, of "target" genes. These factors play a pivotal role in brain development by direction the formation of neurons and supporting cells called glia from uncommitted progenitor cells. Until now, brain transcription factors had not been systematically isolated and their locations within different parts of the brain pinned down.

Female mice that are abnormally small due to gene "knockout" technology are also bad mothers whose poor parenting skills cause their young to die within a day or two of birth, scientists report this week in the on-line edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Since Chawnshang Chang, Ph.D., cloned the gene for testicular orphan receptor 4 (TR4) 10 years ago, he and other scientists have tried to learn its function – scientists call it an "orphan" receptor because they don't know what protein links up with it. So a team led by Chang, director of George Whipple Laboratory for Cancer Research at the University of Rochester Medical Center, knocked out the gene in mice, then watched what happened. They found that many of the mice died before birth. Those that lived are markedly smaller than their normal counterparts: They're born far smaller and then make up some of the difference as they grow, but generally they are about 20 to 30 percent smaller by the time they reach adulthood. The miniature mice are not as fertile as normal mice, having only about half the offspring as other mice. Most visibly, the females have very bad parenting skills: They don't build nests, nurse their young, or tend to their offspring, which die within a day or two as a result.

Honeybees can precisely regulate the temperature of their nest – and they do it thanks to genetically determined variations in their individual thermostats. The new research has revealed one of the few known benefits of the high genetic diversity found in honeybee colonies. Maintaining a nest temperature of between about 32°C and 36°C is vital during spring and summer, when eggs are developing and hatching. "If they don't keep the nest at this temperature, the brood won't develop properly," says Julia Jones of the University of Sydney, Australia, who led the work. If the temperature drops too low, the worker bees huddle together around the brood to keep it warm. If it gets too high, they stand at the nest entrance and use their wings to fan out hot air. The new work shows that bees with different fathers start fanning at slightly different temperatures. This stops sudden colony-wide shifts between warming and cooling behaviours, and keeps the temperature in the nest more constant. "It's been shown before that honeybees with different genotypes have different thresholds for certain things – for instance, they're attracted to different concentrations of nectar," says Jones. "But this is the first time any benefit has been shown from different behaviour thresholds based on genotype in the bees." © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

– Adrian Bird and Skirmantas Kriaucionis of the University of Edinburgh have discovered a novel form of the protein MeCP2. This alternate form, coined MeCP2 alpha, differs from the original only in the first 19 amino acids. Interestingly, Adrian Bird, Director of the Welcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology at Edinburgh University, found that MeCP2 alpha, is ten times more prevalent not only in the brain but also in other tissues. These findings are currently reported online in Nucleic Acids Research. Similar findings were reported yesterday in Nature Genetics online by Berge Minassian, a neurologist and scientist at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. Adrian Bird originally cloned the MECP2 gene in 1992 while in Vienna, Austria at the Institute for Molecular Pathology. In October of 1999 Huda Zoghbi of Baylor College of Medicine and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute announced that mutations in the MECP2 gene were the leading cause of Rett Syndrome (RTT). RTT is a severe neurological disorder diagnosed almost exclusively in girls. Children with RTT appear to develop normally until 6 to 18 months of age, when they enter a period of regression, losing speech and motor skills. Most develop repetitive hand movements, irregular breathing patterns, seizures and extreme motor control problems. RTT leaves its victims profoundly disabled, requiring maximum assistance with every aspect of daily living. There is no cure.

– BETHESDA, MD – As the US population ages, there is an increasing effort to understand the underlying mechanisms that contribute to learning and memory. This effort could be of critical importance to scientists trying to decipher how the molecular genetic mechanisms of learning and memory are disrupted or impaired. The results of a new study provide evidence that individual differences in some cognitive functions may have a genetic basis. A New Study The authors of the study are Nelson Ruiz-Opazo, of the Section of Molecular Medicine, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, and John Tonkiss, from the Center for Behavioral Development and Mental Retardation, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.) – A team of researchers, led by physicians at the UC Davis M.I.N.D Institute, have discovered a new, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that predominantly affects men over age 50 and results in tremors, balance problems and dementia that become increasingly more severe with age. A significant but currently unknown number of adults with these tremor and balance problems are being diagnosed as normal aging, Parkinson's disease, senile dementia and Alzheimer's disease when their condition may be accurately and easily identified with a standard DNA blood test ordered by their doctor. The discovery is published in the Jan. 28 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Known as fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, or FXTAS (pronounced fax-tass), the disorder affects older men who are carriers of a small mutation (premutation) in the same gene that causes fragile X syndrome, the most common cause of inherited mental retardation. Nearly 1 in 800 men in the general population carries this premutation in the fragile X gene, and UC Davis research suggests that as many as 30 percent of carriers -- roughly 1 in 3,000 men -- may develop FXTAS later in life.

St. Louis, -- For some brain tumors, the key to success is not just what you know but who you know, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. In trying to develop a mouse model of neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), a genetic disorder that predisposes children to certain types of brain tumors, the team discovered that tumors only developed when all brain cells were genetically abnormal, not just the cell type that becomes cancerous. The study is featured on the cover of the Dec. 15 issue of the journal Cancer Research. "We are quite excited about this report as it represents the first model of this type of tumor," says principal investigator David H. Gutmann, M.D., Ph.D., the Donald O. Schnuck Family Professor of Neurology. "We've always assumed that cancer results from the loss of specific genes in a particular cell, but apparently that isn't always the case. Our findings suggest that as in real estate, location is everything – a permissive environment may be the key to whether a tumor cell becomes cancerous or just sits dormant for a person's entire life."

Discovery shows power of mouse genome to identify human genes for rare genetic diseases ANN ARBOR, MI – In a small town on Grand Cayman Island in the Caribbean, people are living with a serious neurological disorder, called Cayman ataxia, found nowhere else in the world. People born with this rare, inherited condition have poor muscle coordination, some degree of mental retardation, uncontrollable head and eye movements and difficulty speaking or walking. Now, in a discovery that reinforces the importance of the mouse to human genetics, scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School have discovered two mutations in a gene called ATCAY, which appear to be responsible for Cayman ataxia in humans and for similar neurological disorders in mice.

When a plane arrives late to an airport, it affects more than just the frustrated passengers on the tardy plane – the ripple effects could throw the entire day's timetable off schedule. Similarly, in a new study, North Carolina State University geneticists have found that changes to genes regulating olfactory behavior in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, a popular insect model for genetics, have far greater implications than previously appreciated. The study is presented in a paper published in the Sept. 7 online edition of Nature Genetics. Dr. Robert Anholt, professor of zoology and genetics, director of NC State's Keck Center for Behavioral Biology and the paper's lead author, said that in the study of how genes affect behavior, the days of thinking about genes in a linear fashion are over.

HONOLULU, HI – Researchers have recently discovered a progressive neurodegenerative condition -- resulting in tremor, balance problems, and dementia -- which may affect as many as one in 3,000 men. This condition has now been associated with the same gene that causes fragile X syndrome, the most common heritable form of mental retardation. Findings of this study are being presented at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in Honolulu, March 29-April 5, 2003. Remarkably, the same gene has been found to cause these two different and independent syndromes, affecting different groups of individuals. Fragile X syndrome is a developmental disorder beginning in childhood, while the newly identified neurological syndrome (Fragile X Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome, or FXTAS) affects mainly male carriers who were not affected by fragile X syndrome retardation, and who displayed no symptoms prior to age 50. "We discovered that FXTAS-affected individuals have numerous inclusions, or spherical particles, in their brain cells," noted study author Paul Hagerman, MD, PhD, professor of Biological Chemistry at the University of California Davis School of Medicine. Through this study, the researchers are determining what is in the inclusions and why they form. "We believe this finding is an important clue as to the cause of the disorder, one that may ultimately help with development of therapies for both the tremor disorder and fragile X syndrome."

COLLEGE STATION, – Inside a drawer in Luis Rene Garcia's biology lab, tens of thousands of roundworms are bumping into one another, slithering together and breeding. For the tiny worms, known to science as C. elegans, it's all just another day on a laboratory petri dish. But somewhere in the writhing masses, Dr. Garcia suspects, lie clues to a mystery with large implications: Is some behavior hereditary? Garcia, an assistant professor of biology at Texas A&M University, is an expert in the sexual habits of C. elegans and the genes that apparently control the behaviors. Although the premise that heredity influences human behavior is controversial, it is more generally accepted in animals, Garcia says, especially when it involves base behaviors such as mating. He straddles the familiar nature-nurture debate, theorizing that genes set basic tendencies and the environment shapes the behaviors further. To begin testing his hypothesis, Garcia is deconstructing some of the most elemental of all behaviors in one of the world's simplest organisms.

COLLEGE STATION – They behaved just like pigs. Or at least, that's what a study of cloned pigs found at Texas A&M University. The behavior of cloned pigs, produced last year at Texas A&M, were compared to pigs bred normally. The recent study was completed by master's of science student Greg Archer, under the supervision of Dr. Ted Friend, professor of applied ethology in the department of animal science. "We found the variation within a litter of clones to be as variable or greater (than the normal litters) at least 80 percent of the time for all the tests that we did," Archer said.

Philadelphia, PA) –While type 1 Neurofibromatosis (NF1) is primarily known to cause tumors of the nervous system, scientists were puzzled as to why patients with NF1 are also prone to cardiovascular problems such as hypertension and congenital heart disease. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have solved this particular part of the puzzle by showing how the Nf1 gene – which is mutated in those suffering from Neurofibromatosis – is also essential in endothelial cells, the cells that make up blood vessels. Type 1 Neurofibromatosis affects many children, occurring in one in every 4,000 births. The researchers believe their findings may result in new therapeutics for NF1, as well as provide validation of an animal model for the disease. Their findings will appear online today in advance of publication in the January issue of the journal Nature Genetics.

A recently completed study sheds new light on the likely reason for this difference. Individuals who have two linked genetic variations are far more likely to end up biting their nails following a jolt of caffeine than those who don't, reported Harriet de Wit of the University of Chicago on Sunday, Dec. 8 at the annual meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. "This is the first time that anyone has identified why people have different behavioral reactions to the same drug," said de Wit.

Rehovot, Israel---How do 30,000 genes in our DNA work together to form a large part of who we are? How do one hundred billion neurons operate in our brain? The huge number of factors involved makes such complex networks hard to crack. Now, a study published in the October 25 issue of Science uncovers a strategy for finding the organizing principles of virtually any network – from neural networks to ecological food webs or the Internet. A team headed by Dr. Uri Alon, of the Weizmann Institute of Science's Molecular Cell Biology Department has found several such organizational patterns – which they call "network motifs" – underlying genetic, neural, technological, and food networks. The mathematical technique was first proposed by Alon earlier this year (published in Nature Genetics) and has now been shown to be applicable in a wide range of systems. In developing the technique, Alon surmised that patterns serving an important function in nature might recur more often than in randomized networks. This in mind, he devised an algorithm that enabled him to analyze the plentiful scientific findings examining key networks in some well-researched organisms. Alon noticed that some patterns in the networks were inexplicably more repetitive than they would be in randomized networks. This handful of patterns was singled out as a potential bundle of network motifs.

– Two research teams have converged on a novel gene that appears to regulate key aspects of communication between nerve and muscle cells. Knowing the identity and function of these regulatory signals, which have remained largely mysterious until now, will allow researchers to better understand how the nervous system forges important connections during development. The two research teams – one led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Michael O' Connor and his colleagues -- reported the discovery and characterization of the gene in fruit flies in articles in the February 15, 2002, issue of Neuron. The other team, led by former HHMI investigator Corey Goodman, discovered the same gene via a different route. Both research teams identified the gene, wishful thinking (wit), by studying the larval neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in the fruit fly Drosophila. The Drosophila NMJ consists of 30 muscle fibers that are attached to 35 neurons. The well-characterized system is a prime model for exploring how muscle growth triggers the growth of its innervating motor neurons that drive muscle contraction.

By JUDITH SHULEVITZ How is a church like a can opener? Among the pleasures of using evolutionary logic to think about matters nonbiological, one is getting to ask questions like that. The evolutionary take on a cultural fact like religion or warfare can cut through the fog of judgment and show how a social institution solves some mechanical problem of human co-existence. What function did intergroup violence serve? What are gods good for? Nicholas Wade's book "The Faith Instinct" is at its best when putting us through such exercises and sidelining the by-now tiresome debates about religion as a force for good or evil. According to Wade, a New York Times science writer, religions are machines for manufacturing social solidarity. They bind us into groups. Long ago, codes requiring altruistic behavior, and the gods who enforced them, helped human society expand from families to bands of people who were not necessarily related. We didn't become religious creatures because we became social; we became social creatures because we became religious. Or, to put it in Darwinian terms, being willing to live and die for their coreligionists gave our ancestors an advantage in the struggle for resources. Wade holds that natural selection can operate on groups, not just on individuals, a contentious position among evolutionary thinkers. He does not see religion as what Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin called a spandrel — a happy side effect of evolution (or, if you're a dyspeptic atheist, an unhappy one). He does not agree with the cognitive anthropologist Pascal Boyer that religion is a byproduct of our overactive brains and their need to attribute meaning and intention to a random world. He doesn't perceive religious ideas as memes — that is to say, the objects of a strictly cultural or mental process of evolution. He thinks we have a God gene.

By Emily Anthes We take it for granted that certain aspects of our social behavior—whether we chat easily with strangers at a party, for instance, or prefer to be a wallflower—are influenced by genetics. But now researchers at the University of California, San Diego, and Harvard University have shown that genes have a much broader sway, affecting the kinds of social networks people form and the positions they occupy in them. James Fowler, a political scientist at U.C.S.D., and his colleagues studied the social networks of 1,110 adolescent fraternal and identical twins. They found that three aspects of the twins' social networks appeared to be shaped by genetics. How many times each teen was named by others as a friend and how likely each youth's friends were to know one another were both approximately 50 percent related to genetic factors. Whether a teen was located at the center of a network or toward the edge was about 30 percent genetic. "We have innate characteristics that give us a tendency to gravitate toward one part of a network," Fowler explains. "We vary in the tendency with which we'll attract people as friends, and we vary in our tendency to introduce our friends to one another." The genetic foundation uncovered in the study, he posits, is probably a broad combination of genes that are mostly linked to personality traits such as humor, generosity or extroversion. © 1996-2009 Scientific American Inc.

Does anyone have an example or tips for what needs to be done to delete a photo album?
I know I'll have to do something like: DELETE FROM Albums WHERE (albumid = @albumid)
But I also need to delete all images associated with that album.
I'm also not sure what to do after the delete completes? For example, what page should display?
any advice would be appreciated.
Nov 10, 2006 05:56 AM|glura|LINK
I do have something working for deleting Albums. I think this is all I did (I don't have a source control system to diff my new files with original, so am going from what I know I changed :)
Work done on PhotoAlbum_Contents.aspx:
Added Delete button to <ItemTemplate>. Source below:

<Club:RolloverButton ID="editButton" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit Album Details" runat="server" Visible='<%#IsAdmin %>' />
<Club:RolloverButton ID="deleteButton" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" runat="server" Visible='<%#IsAdmin %>' OnClick="deleteButton_Click"/>
Added OnClick event for the delete button to take user back to the list of albums. Source below: protected void deleteButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
Response.Redirect("~/PhotoAlbum_List.aspx", false);
Added a Delete command for the SQL in <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ASP code added:
DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM Albums WHERE (albumid = @albumid)"
<asp:Parameter Name="albumid" />
If you delete an album, you would more than likely want to delete the images as well. So, I found that an easy way to do this was to set the Action on the Album table in SQL Express to OnDeleteCascade. See this post: http://forums.asp.net/thread/995085.aspx
I think that's all I had to do. So far my testing hasn't stumbled across any problems. I've tested deleting albums with 0 to many images and am not receiving errors. Even the redirect back to the list of albums works. Note that in that method above, I set the second parameter to False, this allows the Delete code to continue to execute when the browser moves back to the list. If set to True, the deltion does not occur. I suppose I could use a different event, but it's working for now.
Delete Album

Having just started the whole ASP thing and the club starter kit I have found even the oldest post valuable. So I thought I'd put my two cents in on the deleting album and admin only visible idea. Bits and pieces are from other postings including this one but I thought it best to put in what worked for me with the combinations. This is built on the CSK 1. Sorry, can't figure out why I have such spacing between lines, ignore please.
In PhotoAlbum_Contents.aspx:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
IsAdmin = User.IsInRole("Administrators") Or User.IsInRole("Users")
IsAdminLocked = User.IsInRole("Administrators")
uploadpanel.Visible = IsAdmin
THEN ADDED delete button (it was missing) to <item template>

<Club:RolloverButton ID="editButton" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit Album Details" runat="server" Visible='<%#IsAdmin %>' />
<Club:RolloverButton ID="deleteButton" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" runat="server" Visible='<%#IsAdminLocked %>' OnClick="deleteButton_Click"/>

Modified Delete command in <asp:SqlDataSource runat="server" to:
DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM Albums WHERE (albumid = @albumid); DELETE FROM Images WHERE (album = @albumid)"
<asp:Parameter />
Hope this helps someone.

Sorry, I was interrupted and didn't add this code to my previous post.
Added OnClick event for the delete button to take user back to the list of albums.
Protected Sub deleteButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Response.Redirect("~/PhotoAlbum_List.aspx", False)
End Sub

I did discover there are some other things that should be done when deleting and Image or an Album.
If you used an image from an album on an Event or News item, and then deleted that image, or the album containing that image, you could receive errors. I forget where there errors were, but it was one of the following:
Events_Edit.aspx and News_Edit.aspx in < Club:Photopicker ID="Photopicker1" runat="server" ImageId='<%# Bind("photo") %>' />
ImageFetch.ashx in output.Write(d, 0, d.Length);
I don't remember for sure anymore.
I modified the DeleteCommand for both image and album on PhotoAlbum_Contents.aspx:
DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM Albums WHERE (albumid = @albumid); UPDATE Announcements SET Photo=0 WHERE (albumid = @albumid); UPDATE Events SET Photo=0 WHERE (album = @albumid); UPDATE Announcements SET albumid=Null WHERE (albumid = @albumid); UPDATE Events SET album=Null WHERE (album = @albumid);"
DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM images WHERE (id = @id); UPDATE Announcements SET photo=0 WHERE (photo = @id); UPDATE Events SET photo=0 WHERE (photo = @id)"
Setting Photo columns to 0 and the album columns to null resovled the issues I had.
Now, if I delete an image or album that I used on a news/event item, I don't have any issues. the items simply appear without an image as expected.
Apr 11, 2010 04:17 AM|xlr8u2|LINK
hi i am verrry new to c#.net so if this answer sound stupid, sorry. i am running the club site and wanted to delete the photo album too, so i just commented out the link to it in the site map and left it in without a way to get to it. i don't know if this is the right way to do it but it does work. hope it helps
Aug 25, 2010 08:37 AM|ScottV.|LINK
The easiest way to handle this is to put a DELETE TRIGGER on the Albums table that'll cascade the delete to all the corresponding images in the Photos table. As for the missing photos issue, there is some logic in the Events_List.aspx page (specifically the Repeater) to handle no pictures:
<asp:Repeater ID="rpEvents" runat="server" DataSourceID="sdsEvents">
<a href='<%# "Events_view.aspx?Eventid=" Eval("ID").toString()%>'>
<Club:ImageThumbnail ID="ImageThumbnail1" runat="server" PhotoID='<%# Eval("photo") %>'
NoPhotoImg="images/calendar.jpg" /> <--- image stored in \images on file system
And in the code, make sure you handle/ceck for null values so things don't choke if there's no picture.

Sure you've heard the horror stories about all the waste that comes from end of year spending.
But one professor says those anecdotes really aren't accurate, and he's published his findings in a new study.
Ramji Balakrishnan is a Harry B. Carlson/KPMG professor of accounting at the University of Iowa.
He tells us why he felt compelled to do this study, and why he thinks the end of year spending spree stereotype is wrong.

Nash Equilibria and Dominant Strategies in Routing

Problem Definition
This problem is concerned with the multicast routing and cost sharing in a selfish network composed of relay terminals and receivers. This problem is motivated by the recent observation that the selfish behavior of the network could largely degraded existing system performance, even dysfunction. The work of Wang, Li and Chu [7] first presented some negative results of the strategyproof mechanism in multicast routing and sharing, and then proposed a new solution based on Nash Equilibrium that could greatly improve the performance.
Wang, Li and Chu modeled a network by a link weighted graph \( { G=(V,E,\textbf{c}) } \), where V is the set of all nodes and \( { \textbf{c} } \) is the cost vector of the set E of links. For a multicast session, let Q denote the set of all receivers. In game theoretical networking literatures, usually there are t ...

|CBB: Youngstown St at Ohio St
|Written by TheSpread
|Friday, 24 November 2006 10:21
Heavy Public Betting on Ohio State Against Visiting Youngstown St
Team Page: Youngstown St :: Ohio St
86% of Bets Placed on Ohio St -20.5 | Matchup | Picks
The fourth-ranked Buckeyes look for another easy win on Friday when they host Youngstown State before facing their biggest test of the season to date.
Ohio State (5-0) has played five inferior opponents to open the season, and Youngstown State (2-3) is not expected to pose much of a threat.
That shouldn't be the case on Wednesday, when the Buckeyes play their first road game of the season as they visit second-ranked North Carolina.
Oddsmakers have made Ohio State -20.5 point spread favorites (College Basketball Odds) for tonights game, the over/under has been set at 144 total points (View College Basketball Sports Books).
``That's going to be a challenge,'' Ohio State guard Jamar Butler said. ``But if we keep playing within our system I think we'll be fine.''
Oden won't be around for that matchup, with a wrist injury expected to keep him sidelined until early January.
The prized 7-foot-1 freshman, who many believe could have been the top overall pick in this year's NBA draft had he been eligible, has not been missed much by the Buckeyes as of yet.
Ohio State is averaging 86.2 points per game while allowing 61.6. The team's closest margin of victory was 87-75 over Loyola of Chicago on Nov. 11.
The Buckeyes are shooting 53 percent from the field and 41.7 percent (50-for-120) from 3-point range.
Oden's freshmen classmates have stepped up in his absence.
Guard Daequan Cook leads the team with 18.0 points per game, including 20 in an 82-60 win over San Francisco on Monday. Fellow freshman Mike Conley Jr. added 12 points, nine assists and six rebounds.
Conley, averaging 9.8 points and 6.6 assists, and Cook have fit in well with veterans like Butler (10.0 ppg, 5.0 apg) and Ron Lewis (17.2 ppg).
``We're trying to get those guys to understand that we're a little different team than the last two years here,'' Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. ``We've got some depth. We're trying to get guys to understand their roles.''
With Butler and Conley in the backcourt, the Buckeyes have two point guards starting at the same time. The pair combined for 16 assists and two turnovers against San Francisco.
``It's an advantage for us to have two guys out there capable of making plays,'' Matta said.
Ohio State will go for its 24th straight home win over an unranked, non-conference opponent. Texas Tech was the last unranked non-Big Ten team to come to Columbus and beat the Buckeyes, 80-72 on Jan. 4, 2004.
Youngstown State will play its third game of the season against a Big Ten team, and second in a row.
The Penguins couldn't overcome an early 11-1 run and lost 65-56 at Michigan on Wednesday. Senior guard Keston Roberts finished with 18 points to pace Youngstown State, which held the Wolverines to one point in the final six minutes as it tried to get back in the game.
``I think we battled,'' said coach Jerry Slocum, whose team lost 86-61 to Michigan State on Nov. 9. ``We got down 27 and came out of a timeout and started hitting our shots. I was proud of the way we defended.''
The Penguins, who finished 7-21 last season and 4-12 in the Horizon League, are looking for their first winning season since going 19-11 in 2000-01.
Youngstown State has not won in 16 games against Big Ten schools, including two losses to Ohio State.

Dave was never anti-gay but was for a long time a bit squeamish. That's all gone, now. And his obvious delight with and admiration for NPH is a very entertaining example of his newfound comfort and advocacy. Great stuff.
Posted by: Rascal | Jun 4, 2013 9:36:06 PM
I'm not sure who I love more: Dave or NPH. On this one I am torn.
OK, Neil getting all bossy and ordering the production to show the little clip of his kid gives him the winning edge. Tonight. ('Cause he's so comfortable, nothing else. Well...maybe.)

Aryana Jackson, Taylor Royster and Natalie Hill stepped up in a big way to lead Beachwood to a 53-49 come-from-behind victory over Villa Angela-St. Joseph on Saturday. Jackson scored a game-high 19 points while Royster added 17 and Hill contributed with 11.
Last season, John Davis III, Julio Stevens and Tre Sanders led Beachwood to a 20-4 record, a Chagrin Valley Conference title and the top ranking in Division III. This year, five sophomores from that team are ready for their chance to shine.
Five Beachwood football players earned All-Ohio honors on Wednesday. Nate Hamilton was named to the third team while Cameron Mack, Bennett Woomer, Tyler Hines and Tyler Nash earned special mention honors.
Beachwood's girls' basketball team advanced to the Division III regional championship game in each of the past two seasons and last year came a buzzer-beating 3-pointer away from playing in the state semifinals. It's those near misses that have the Bison focused on taking the next step this season.
Beachwood's Nate Hamilton, Cameron Mack, Bennett Woomer, Tyler Nash and Tyler Hines all were named to the Northeast Lakes All-District first team. Max Balasz, Josh Bialosky and Jordan Williams all earned second team honors and Greg Johnson and Chris Bell received special mention.
Beachwood right side hitter Tamarea Townes signed a national letter of intent on Wednesday to continue her education and volleyball career. Townes was a second team all-conference and honorable mention all-district performer.
Beachwood senior Aryana Jackson on Thursday signed with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to continue her education and basketball career. Jackson helped lead the Bison to the regional championship game last season and also joined the 1,000 point club.
Beachwood volleyball players Shaneice James and Valisha Watkins on Wednesday signed National Letters of Intent to continue their educations and volleyball careers in college. James signed with Tennessee Tech while Watkins is headed to the University of Texas-Pan American.
In honor of Down Syndrome Awareness Month, The Up Side of Downs organization is honoring educators for their exceptional work in the classroom and beyond. Beachwood cross country coach Jamie Lader is one of those honorees.
Canton Central Catholic's diverse offense and stout defense ended Beachwood's season in the Division V, Region 15 playoffs on Saturday. The Crusaders downed the Bison, 41-0.
Beachwood finished the regular season with a 5-5 record but the Bison beat enough quality opponents to land the No. 8 spot in the Division V, Region 15 playoffs. It's the second straight trip to the playoffs for the Bison and the third post-season appearance in school history.
Sophomore soccer player Asaf Roth was named Bison Athlete of the Week for the week ending Sunday, Oct. 26. Roth scored four of Beachwood's five goals in a 5-1 win over Gilmour Academy in a Division III district semifinal.
An own-goal in the 86th minute cost Beachwood its first trip to the state Final Four. The Bison and South Range were scoreless after regulation, despite Beachwood's heavy advantage in shots on goal and corner kicks.
Asaf Roth's penalty kick in the 13th minute was all Beachwood needed to beat Badger, 1-0, in a Division III regional semifinal at Twinsburg on Wednesday. Michael Dreka had four saves—including two from close range in the second half—to preserve the victory.
Kirtland scored 42 second half points to come from behind to beat Beachwood, 49-24. The win was the 54th straight for the Hornets in the regular season and 24th straight overall. Beachwood dropped to 5-4 on the year but could clinch a spot in the playoffs with a win next week.
Shai Yulish and Max Babbush both scored goals to lead Beachwood to a 2-1 win over Kirtland on Saturday in a Division III district final. The Bison advanced to the regional tournament for the first time since 1984.
Asaf Roth scored four goals and Vonya Shiffman contributed with one to lead Beachwood to a 5-1 win over Gilmour Academy in a Division III district semifinal on Tuesday. The Bison improved to 12-4-2 and will host Kirtland in the district championship game on Saturday.
Here's a look back at the outstanding individual accomplishments of Beachwood's Bison Athletes of the Week during the past several weeks of the fall sports season.
Sophomore Shai Yulish scored two goals to lead Beachwood to a 7-0 win over Bloomfield in a Division III sectional final on Saturday. Yulish's second goal was the 29th of the season, which broke a 37-year old record for goals in a single season.
Beachwood and Cuyahoga Heights played a second straight overtime game and just like last year the Bison won when the Redskins failed to convert a two-point conversion. The Bison, 21-20 winners, improved to 5-3 on the year and kept alive their playoff hopes.
Hannah Kahn scored three goals and Lexi Stovsky added two to lead No. 5 Beachwood to a 5-0 win over No. 6 Pymatuning Valley in a Division III sectional final on Wednesday. The Bison advanced to the district semifinals where they'll play at No. 1 Hawken on Oct. 20.
Columbia defeated Beachwood, 3-0, in a Division III sectional final on Wednesday to close out a record-setting season for the Bison. Beachwood finished the year 15-6 overall and set a new school record for wins under first-year coach Sarah Schoenhagen.
Beachwood's wrestling program added an outstanding technician on Monday when former three-time Ohio state champion and NCAA champion Alan Fried was approved by the school board to become an assistant coach at the school. Fried will be responsible for coaching technique at every level of the program.
Beachwood dominated the second half in a 46-27 win over Richmond Heights on Friday. The Bison scored the first 21points of the fourth quarter to pull away from the Spartans.

A reader asked:
My 8 yr old daughter has bipolar nos. She has been admitted to a phosp for a 72 hour hold. She is on resperidol and depakote. Are there any clinical studies being conducted that she can participate in?. We are in los Angeles. Thank you!
Dr. Dave:
Yes, there are several clinical/treatment studies she may be eligible for. Please contact Brittany Matkevich at the UCLA CHAMP clinic at (310) 825-2836 and let her know we "e-spoke."
For our more general audience: bipolar NOS is often diagnosed in younger kids when they have short but frequent periods of manic activation (often with irritability, decreased sleep, rapid speech, increased activity) alternating with periods of depression. The periods of manic activation may only be 1-2 days long, but we worry about them when they (a) represent a clear change from the kid's usual state, (b) cause disruption in the child's home and school life, and (c) happen repeatedly. Kids with bipolar NOS don't necessarily grow up to have adult bipolar disorder - that can depend on things like whether a family history of BD is present, whether treatment is started early enough, and a host of other factors.

Bowling season ends, but new territory carved
KANELAND—In the first year of a new postseason setup, Kaneland Lady Knights bowling did well for itself.
With an exemplary performance at the Metea Valley Regional on Feb. 8, Kaneland was able to send senior cornerstone Christie Crews to the Saturday Freeport Sectional. Crews became the first Kaneland bowler to advance to the next weekend of postseason play since Tannya Serrano in 2003.
With the new regional-sectional setup, the Lady Knights representative was able to compete at the Freeport Sectional for a chance at the State gathering in Rockford.
Crews' total of 979 pins throughout the morning and afternoon sessions was not enough to emerge as an individual qualifier for next weekend. The lowest individual qualifier was Belvidere North's Haley Solberg at 1,236. Crews' average was a 163, with a morning session of 496.
"She was happy to be there and did a great job representing our team and school," KHS coach Jim McKnight said.
The top overall score was Metea Valley's Jordan Newham at 1,398.
Freeport (5,867), Harlem (5,808), Rockford Guilford (5,651) and Metea Valley (5,630) were the advancing teams out of sectional play.
With the end of 2013-14 play, Kaneland bowling says goodbye to Crews and fellow senior Michelle Bohanek.

Gerald Walker ft. Cardo - The Inspiration
Artist: Gerald Walker
Producer: Kuddie Fresh
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 6 votes )
You've gotta respect Gerald Walker's hustle. And when I say "gotta," I'm not just speaking rhetorically; if you don't show the proper respect, the Milwaukee representative's going to hunt you down and force you to reconsider your position. A new single and potential inclusion on Walker's next LP, The Inspiration finds Kuddie Fresh serving up an understated, synth-driven beat as the emcee celebrates his burgeoning movement and gives haters the brush-off. While his rhymes are largely calm and self-assured, he changes tone abruptly between verses, aggressively railing against online sh*t-talkers and other pests during the record's "hook." Taylor Gang affiliate Cardo assists on the guest tip. How about it, readers: does Inspiration deserve a spot on Gerald Walker's debut full-length, Target? Debate away—and watch our pages for more fresh tunes leading up to the project's fall release via OSAT Music/Fontana InGrooves Distribution.
