Within a year, $283,387 had been raised, although the goal had been only $200,000. With the funds in hand, Ficklen Stadium was built. The James Skinner Ficklen Memorial Stadium was dedicated Sept. 21, 1963, as East Carolina defeated Wake Forest, 20-10. The original stadium consisted of the permanent stands on the south side, a small press box, and the old lighting system, which was removed after the 1974 season. Total cost was $300,000. 2011 East Carolina Football Fan Guide ECU Educational Foundation. The gift went toward the ongoing expansion of ECU's football stadium, which was renamed Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. BAGWELL FIELD Since graduating in the early 1970s, Al and Debby Bagwell have been gracious friends of the university, with Al serving on the Pirate Club's Executive Committee in 1994-95 and being appointed to the University's Board of Visitors in 1998. The couple from Lake Gaston, Va., was honored in 1997 for their gift to the Pirate Club's Shared Visions Campaign. For their contributions on behalf of the University and to the ECU Educational Foundation, the Bagwell's name became a permanent mark on the ECU landscape as the field is now recognized as Bagwell Field at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. THE NAMESAKES In April 1994, Ron and Mary Ellen Dowdy, of Orlando, Fla., announced a $1 million gift to the LAST EXPANSION After additions on the north side (upper deck in 1998 and club-level seating in 1999) increased 4 Tickets: 252-737-4500 or www.ecupirates.com the stadium's capacity to 43,000, East Carolina completed a 7,000-seat expansion project in the east end zone that pushed the seating availability to 50,000 in time for Ruffin McNeill's Pirate head coaching debut in September 2010. In addition, Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium received an aesthetic enhancement the same year when 10,200 purple chairback seats replaced existing bleachers inside the 35-yard lines on both sides of the facility.

McNeill, who starred as a four-year letterman in the late 1970s and completed a 10-year stay at Texas Tech, was appointed East Carolina's 20th head football coach Jan. 21, 2010. The Lumberton native delivered on those pledges during his initial campaign, which also marked his 25th overall season coaching at the collegiate level. Despite inheriting a program that lost 34 lettermen off the previous year's squad -- the most of any FBS program in America -- the selfdescribed football "lifer" guided the 2010 Pirates to six wins and qualification for a fifth-straight bowl game, an accomplishment unprecedented in program history. While playing one of the top 50 most difficult schedules in the country, McNeill's six victories ranked seventh nationally among all first-year FBS 6 W coaches. In addition, his five league wins stood second -- trailing only Florida State's Jimbo Fisher's six. Capacity crowds at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium also were treated to an exciting, high-scoring and prolific spread offensive scheme that enjoyed a record-breaking campaign in 2010 -- shattering or at least matching 29 team or individual standards. ECU's offense also ranked among the nation's best statistically -- finishing eighth in passing offense, 16th in scoring offense, 25th in total offense, fifth in offensive red zone efficiency, sixth in fourth-down conversion percentage and 18th in first downs per game. Although the unit featured 11 first-time starters, McNeill's offense scored a single-season record 60 touchdowns (39 pass, 21 rush). Overall, the Pirates tallied 62 touchdowns and 478 points, which also were school standards. During his first year at ECU, McNeill enhanced his reputation as a father figure, promoting a family-type atmosphere and providing the disciplined instruction on the field that marked his long tenure at Texas Tech. Tickets: 252-737-4500 or www.ecupirates.com Before returning to his alma mater, McNeill concluded the 2009 season as the Red Raiders' interim head coach by rallying No. 21 Texas Tech to a 4131 victory over Michigan State at the Valero Alamo Bowl Jan. 2 after the dismissal of Mike Leach. In addition to helping the program complete the year with nine triumphs, McNeill's steady hand was responsible for Texas Tech's first season-ending three-game winning streak since 1995. The 2009 campaign marked his 10th season as a member of Leach's staff and second full year as the defensive coordinator. He served the final nine games of 2007 in that role on an interim basis, before taking over officially in 2008. A charter member of Leach's initial coaching staff in 2000, McNeill began his career at Texas Tech as linebackers coach during the 2000-02 seasons, before taking over defensive tackles and special teams duties in 2003. A four-year letterwinner at East Carolina from 1976-80, McNeill was a three-year starter at defensive back and was the team captain for two seasons. He helped lead ECU to the Southern Conference Championship in 1976 and an Independence Bowl berth in 1978 -- the school's first in what is recognized as the modern era. He graduated from East Carolina in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in education and earned a master's degree in secondary counseling from Clemson in 1987. McNeill, 52, and his wife, Erlene, have two daughters: Olivia (20) and Renata (30). Olivia is a senior at Appalachian State.

These new ceremonies reflect the historic Pirate traditions of battle at sea when pirates would hoist the colors of the crew's captain to identify themselves when attacking other sea-faring vessels. In keeping with these Pirate traditions, East Carolina will hoist the colors (raising the Jolly Roger) just before the opening kickoff at home Pirate football games. Following the end of the third quarter, the Pirates will raise the "No Quarter" flag to start the fourth quarter of home football games. The flag-raising will be accompanied by thrilling music, and fans are encouraged to join in the excitement. Show the opponents the Pirates will give NO QUARTER by crossing your arms in imitation of the skull and crossbones! Cheer loud, stomp your feet and show the team these Pirates will give no quarter! The Pirates' red No Quarter flag will be flown from the beginning of the fourth quarter throughout the remainder of the game to show that the Pirates will fight on until the end, giving no mercy to their opponents. was in striking distance of a targeted vessel, they would declare their intentions by showing their true colors. Various pirates had different flags, which were well known to those who sailed the sea. Most depictions of the Jolly Roger include a skull and crossbones, generally seen on a black field. The Jolly Roger was used to instill fear into one's enemies, and in many cases ships would surrender to a band of pirates when this fearsome banner was raised. NO QUARTER If a ship refused to surrender, they risked the wrath of the Pirate ship's crew. Once a battle began, the Jolly Roger was lowered and replaced with a "No Quarter" flag signifying that the Pirates would now take no prisoners and give no quarter to their enemy. The No Quarter flag often featured the skull and crossbones or other characteristic marks of the Jolly Roger. The two flags could easily be distinguished, however, due to the No Quarter flag bearing a deep red field for the background, as opposed to the common use of black on the Jolly Roger. JOLLY ROGER The Jolly Roger refers to the "colors" or flag of a pirate ship's captain. Pirate vessels looked like all other merchant ships of that era. Once a pirate ALMA MATER By Harold A.

The Sampson County Board of Education received an update on the school system's Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) program Tuesday morning during this month's work session, one that showed success.
Tommy Macon, assistant superintendent of Academics and Student Services, reminded school board members of the program's state and local standards — student identification, differentiated curriculum and instruction, personnel and professional development, comprehensive programming within community, partnerships, and program accountability — which include 48 practices the school system should use.
"The first plan (for the system's AIG program) was put into place four years ago," noted Macon, stressing that the county school system has one of the best AIG programs. "Now we're implementing the second cycle of a three year plan."
The plan for 2013-16 was recently reviewed by the state, Macon shared, and received a good response. "Out of the 48 practices, only one got a recommendation."
"The plan is in good stead and we're moving ahead," he assured.
The ones at the forefront of transforming that plan into a reality for the county schools are seven AIG specialists. In conjunction with classroom teachers, they help instruct a total of 161 elementary AIG students, 312 middle school AIG students, 350 high school AIG students, and 67 gifted students at Sampson Early College High School.
Although not officially in AIG in early elementary school, K-3 students do participate in a nurturing program and are tested for AIG placement at the end of third grade. According to Macon, school officials consider reading and math skills, report card grades, and teacher observations in identifying potential AIG students.
Once children become AIG students in fourth grade, they are offered inclusion and resource time. In the sixth through eighth grades, they are often co-taught by a classroom teacher and an AIG specialist. In high school, AIG students take AP and Honors classes, participate in focus groups, and visit numerous colleges.
Under the second cycle of the system's AIG plan, school officials will focus on strengthening instructional practices including rigor and relevance, improving student identification, giving more attention to intellectually gifted students, training some 20 teachers to become AIG certified, and make sure to continue spreading awareness of the characteristics of AIG student, shared Macon.
Honing in on the last area of focus, Carolyn Lane with Sampson County Schools talked with school board members about the characteristics that make a student an AIG student.
"AIG students have a wealth of knowledge and ability…Each one is different; they all have their own interests and abilities," she said, noting that AIG students often "have a sense of how things should be."
Lane added that AIG students are often the ones who question the teacher, have a mature sense of humor, and are perfectionists.
To help school board members better understand what goes on it an AIG classroom, Lane showed them pictures of AIG activities including students doing interactive math, working on projects they develop themselves, learning about fingerprinting in a CSI unit. She also shared with them an electronic book created by four fifth grade AIG students from Plainview Elementary School, a book they created specifcally for school board members to see.
School board member Glenn Tart expressed an interest in seeing the numbers of AIG students in the system broken down by school.
Fellow school board member Dewain Sinclair agreed and noted that he would like to see how the program has improved, particularly in the area of student identification, pointing out identification improvement was a focus of previous superintendent Dr. Ethan Lenker.
"We were basically promised last year that there would be improvement," added Tart, reiterating the desire to see evidence of that improvement in the future.

Are such bridges safe to drive on? So they say. "We view that term as a programmatic classification rather than an indication of level of safety," says Tom Everett, of the National Bridge Inspection Program. "It is not a classification that indicates a bridge is dangerous, nor that that bridge must be replaced."
How many bridges in Minnesota have been labeled "structurally deficient?" According to MNDOT, there are currently 1,160 in the state that carry this designation. That's roughly 8 percent.
How does this compare to other states? Nationwide, 13 percent of the country's bridges, or approximately 75,000, are labeled "structurally deficient."
How long had the I-35W bridge been deemed "structurally deficient?" Since 1990.
Why was it deemed "structurally deficient?" The I-35W bridge initially earned that designation because some of its bearings were corroded, according to Dan Gorgan, MNDOT's bridge engineer. Subsequent inspections revealed additional corrosion in its joints. Finally, there were "fatigue cracks" on the approach spans of the bridge.
How often was the bridge inspected? It's been inspected annually since 1993. Prior to that it was inspected every two years. "During recent inspections in 2005 and 2006, we found no evidence of additional cracking in the bridge or growth in the preexisting cracks," says Gorgan. The 2007 inspection had been interrupted by construction on the bridge and was to be completed in the fall. In addition, the University of Minnesota's Department of Civil Engineering conducted a study of the bridge's fitness in 2001. The conclusion? It did not need to be replaced in the near future.
Who built this thing? Industrial Construction, a company that is no longer in business. Construction began in 1964 and the bridge was opened to traffic in 1967.
How many cars drove over this bridge? Approximately 141,000 daily. That makes it the third busiest bridge in the state, next to I-94 (157,000) and I-694 (150,000).
What kind of bridge was it? It was a steel arch truss bridge. "It's an underdeck truss, meaning it's supported from below," says Gorgan. "There were two arches that supported this bridge."
Are there any other bridges of this kind in the state? Yes, five others: Inspections on three of them were completed last week and no problems were found. The remaining two are slated to be examined ASAP.
When will the bridge be rebuilt? Nobody knows for sure yet. The city and state have put together a team to study the issue, according to MNDOT engineer Khani Sahebjan. But any rebuilding will obviously have to be put on hold until the collapse of the bridge has been thoroughly investigated, says Sahebjan. "When we get permission to remove the structure, that's when we can start construction." MNDOT hopes the bridge will be rebuilt by the end of 2008. —Paul DemkoSETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
John Weeks is what some people might call an obsessive. Over the past two years, he has spent weeks at a time traveling alongside the Mississippi River, photographing more than 300 of the bridges that span that mighty body of water, from Itasca to New Orleans.
His downtime between trips is largely devoted to cataloging information on each bridge, such as its age, construction material, daily traffic count, river elevation, and other factoids that, until last week, might have seemed somewhat superfluous to anyone but himself.
So Weeks is perhaps uniquely equipped to tackle some of the conspiracies that cropped up about the I-35W bridge collapse. And that is what he has done over at his website, www.johnweeks.com. Among the more entertaining new urban myths that Weeks has debunked:

On Oct 19, 2011, I was admitted into the hospital again because of contractions. After 2 days and 6 shots of Breatine (on top of the pills they were feeding me every 3 hours to try and stop the contractions), they could not stop my contractions so I was sent to a specialty hospital for women and infants about an hour away by ambulance. My son was born on Oct 22,2011 at 24 weeks gestational. I barely made it to the hospital. The hematoma got infected and ended up rupturing my placenta while I was on my way into have an emergency C section. My son and myself had to be resuscitated because of the amount of blood we lost. He was 1 lb and 3 oz when he was born. He has been in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on a ventilator since he was born. He is now 1 lb and 13 oz and has a lot of difficulties that babies are not supposed to have. I now drive an hour up to the hospital he is at every day just to sit and watch him. I wish everyone that has to endure this condition my deepest thoughts as from the first day this started it has been a rollercoaster. And my rollercoaster still has a long track ahead of me. Good luck to all the mommies who have this condition, whether it be minor or major, I will pray for you all every time I look at my little miracle. Please, don't take this lightly if you have this condition. My son is fighting for his life and I can't do anything to change it and had they waited another hour to transport me, I probably wouldn't be writing this post.....

I now have 2 hematomas, one at 4 cm and one at 8 cm. I have been on bedrest for almost 8 weeks now and last week I started going into labor. The baby is completely healthy but at this point, they cannot say what will happen. They are starting me on steroid shots and pills to help keep the contractions down and in 3 weeks I start steroid shots for the baby to speed the development as much as possible. Most pregnancies go to 40 weeks- at this point my goal is to hang on as long as possible but they doubt I will make it past 30 weeks. I spot almost everyday whether it is bright red or the brownish "old blood" color and have gushes like the original that send me back to the emergency room. I have to call my doctor's emergency line about once a week to get advise on what to do. I'm scared to death and my heart goes out to anyone who has to go through this kind of worry. I have a 2 year old at home that I cannot take care of by myself and someone has to take care of me as I cannot do anything by myself.

Golden State's Andris Biedrins eager for comeback
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
Andris Biedrins fully understands why the Golden State Warriors went searching for his replacement.
He might have done the same thing considering his drastic fall off the past two years. The 7-foot Latvian center lost his edge, and his confidence right along with it. He also lost nearly a full NBA season's worth of games to injury - 72 in all.
When he was on the court, Biedrins often looked a step behind as he desperately tried to rediscover his timing.
''Obviously I didn't play my game the last two seasons. I don't blame them if they started looking for another guy because I was not really great the last two seasons,'' Biedrins said. ''That's the way the business is. There's nothing you can do about it but come back and play strong and prove to them again that you're worth being where you are right now. ...
''It makes you a little bit stronger, too, that they've started looking for somebody else. You say, `No way, I can prove to them I'm better than those guys they're looking for.'''
Biedrins sure looks the part of a determined veteran these days. He arrived for the opening day of training camp Friday showing off his visibly bigger upper body, the result of a rigorous training regimen, first in his home country over the summer, and then in Santa Barbara for the past two months. He gained 15 pounds of muscle and now weighs 256 pounds.
''I still didn't lose any of my quickness, so that's good,'' Biedrins said.
With Biedrins posing in his white No. 15 jersey for Monday's media day photo shoot, teammate David Lee had a little fun.
''This doesn't mess with his modeling contracts does it?'' Lee quipped.
Biedrins received a specific assignment from his new coach last week: rebound every ball possible and block shots.
Sounds simple enough, though Biedrins struggled to handle even his fundamental tasks the past two seasons.
Coach Mark Jackson isn't worried about getting much more than that from Biedrins, who ''can be an anchor for our defense.'' The Warriors have plenty of other go-to guys who can take care of the scoring load.
They had hoped to finally find a player to take some pressure off Biedrins, signing Clippers center DeAndre Jordan to a four-year offer sheet Sunday worth approximately $42.7 million. Instead, Los Angeles matched the restricted free agent's offer Monday, keeping Jordan in Los Angeles and leaving the Warriors still searching for another big man.
''He told me after the first practice he needs what got me my job in the league - just rebound every single ball and block shots. Those are the two main things,'' Biedrins said. ''I promised him that. I told him I have a different mindset, I had a good break and I came back and I feel good, I feel strong. And I will give everything that he needs.''
The 25-year-old Biedrins, the 11th overall pick in the first round of the 2004 draft, has averaged only 5.0 points and just more than seven rebounds per game the past two years. He missed 23 games last season with a sprained left ankle, including the final 14.
That's after he entered the year convinced he was finally fully healthy again after a tough stretch of physical challenges. He was sidelined for the final 23 games of the 2009-10 season following surgery for a sports hernia and played only 33 contests in all because of groin problems.
His 5.0 points and 7.8 rebounds that season were his lowest totals since becoming a regular player in 2006-07 - then his rebounds fell to a 7.2 average last season.
He hasn't had much chance to find a consistent rhythm. All of that brought Biedrins down.
''A couple injuries set me back. I came back and wasn't so sure about myself and it was downhill from there on,'' he said. ''Now, I feel good about myself. I had a great offseason. I think a lot of things are different now and now is the right time to get it back.''
Biedrins considers this a fresh start under Jackson, a first-time coach determined for the Warriors to start playing serious defense. He has emphatically declared Golden State a playoff team even though the franchise has reached the postseason only once since 1994.
In July 2008, the Warriors re-signed Biedrins to a six-year contract worth more than $62 million, a nice reward for the restricted free agent who was coming off career highs of 10.5 points and 9.8 rebounds in his fourth NBA season.
He also led the NBA in field-goal percentage, making 62.6 percent of his shots. Biedrins had shown signs of becoming an all-around presence and force in the low post, not just a rebounding specialist.
Now, Jackson wants him to get back to the basics. Even Jackson noticed from afar that Biedrins lost his confidence.
''I'm a coach who believes in him, and I've already delivered the message that he'll get every opportunity to get back what he once had,'' Jackson said. ''Watching him, you can see flashes of what made him a special player - great size, length, the ability to alter shots, rebound the basketball, finish at the rim. A lot of things where you can see he's a starting center in this league that I really like.''
Biedrins has grown up away from basketball, too. He became a first-time father in April to a baby boy, Emils.
''I think him having a family now really changed him over the summer,'' star guard Monta Ellis said. ''He looks like and feels like the old Andris, so time will tell. I hope everything we're taking from training camp and starting the first day will carry on.''
Biedrins is convinced he can return to that former steady form.
''I do. I really do, and I'm on that path right now. I won't let anything drag me down,'' Biedrins said. ''Now is my chance. The last two years were horrible for me. I know that, and everybody knows that.''

ZyXEL Announces Intelligent Layer 2 Ethernet Switches for Converged Data, Video and Voice Applications
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ANAHEIM, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/29/14 -- ZyXEL Communications, a leading provider of secure broadband networking, Internet access, connected home and routing products, today announced its new GS2210 Series Gigabit Layer 2 Switches, which are ideal for converged networking. The fully managed Layer 2 switching solution provides advanced security, agile traffic control and intelligent PoE (Power over Ethernet), and is ideal for deployment in hospitality, healthcare, business and educational environments.
"The new G2210 series switches are an essential addition to ZyXEL's portfolio of carrier-grade Ethernet switches," said Steven Joe, executive vice president for channel business for Americas at ZyXEL. "The G2210 series provides businesses and solution providers a wider selection of powerful and affordable switches with a range of features to match their exact needs." Multicasting and IGMP SnoopingThe GS2210 Series boasts advanced L2 multicast and IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping features to streamline bandwidth use for large IPTV, IP surveillance and IP phone applications in hospitality, healthcare, business and educational institutions. In the hotel environment, for example, the MVR (Multicast VLAN Registration) function ensures better network efficiency and security for hotel guests by allowing a single IPTV multicast VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) to be shared with all the set-top boxes while the subscribers remain in separate data VLANs.
Sophisticated QoSWith agile traffic-shaping capabilities combined with an extensive array of access and traffic security features, the ZyXEL GS2210 Series can segment networks and allocate different bandwidth privileges to different users. These features make the GS2210 series switches ideal for digital classroom applications where students and teachers use separate networks with different access rights. Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) and CoS (Class of Service) features can also reduce traffic congestion for latency-sensitive interactive learning applications.
SecurityThe ZyXEL GS2210 Series provides high-level network and access security by offering enhanced control and isolation. The advanced defense mechanisms include IP source guard that not only prevents IP address spoofing from unknown IP addresses, but also eliminates man-in-the-middle attacks.
Intelligent PoE The PoE support in the ZyXEL GS2210 Series switches make them an ideal candidate for applications like IP telephony, WLAN and IP surveillance. In addition, the switches automatically detect the power consumption status of each powered device, and only supply the requisite amount of power needed, thus reducing energy consumption and reducing operating costs for businesses.
Pricing and AvailabilityThe 48-port GS2210 series Ethernet switches are available now through authorized ZyXEL partners. The 24-port GS2210 will be available August-end.
The series includes the following models GS2210-24 -- 24 Port Gigabit Layer-2 Ethernet Switch, MSRP: $499 GS2210-24HP -- 24 Port Gigabit Layer-2 Ethernet Switch with High Power PoE, MSRP: $799 GS2210-48 -- 48 Port Gigabit Layer-2 Ethernet Switch, MSRP: $1099 GS2210-48HP -- 48 Port Gigabit Layer-2 Ethernet Switch with High Power PoE, MSRP: $1349 About ZyXEL CommunicationsZyXEL, a pioneer in IP technology for over two decades, provides a complete portfolio of multi-service LTE, fiber and DSL broadband gateways, home connectivity solutions, smart home devices and enterprise-class Ethernet switches, security and Wi-Fi equipment for small to mid-size business. ZyXEL offers integrated, interoperable network solutions based on open standards.

Locals still rule the Current's birthday bashes
Minneapolis Star Tribune
It was nice to have out-of-town buzz bands like Cold War Kids and especially J. Roddy Walston & the Business for a change, each of whom added extra fire to 89.3 the Current's birthday blowouts this year, the station's 10th. However, their heavy presence ... The long, "purty"-haired Tennessee rockers looked like they should be churning out Skynyrd covers at a KQRS classic-rock fest instead of playing the Current party, but their spazzy, bombastic boogie sound went over beautifully. The quartet built up momentum ...

JUPITER, Fla., May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. ("BRT" or the "Company") (OTCQB: BRTX), a life sciences company focused on adult stem cell-based therapies, announced today that the latest version of its stem cell disc delivery device, which is to be used in the treatment of bulging and herniated discs, has shown improvements when compared to earlier versions.
The first generation of the device had shown the potential to reduce disc bulges and avoid lower back surgery with a simple injection procedure. The latest generation has shown improvements, and testing of the device will continue to be done to obtain improved disc penetration and steering for optimal cell placement.
The patent-pending delivery device to be used by medical practitioners is a specifically designed needle/catheter delivery system that will inject cells directly into the annular tear that is causing the bulge or herniation.
On April 11, 2012, the Company announced the closing of its licensing agreement with Regenerative Sciences, Inc. pursuant to which BRT was granted, among other things, the exclusive right to license and sell the stem cell delivery device worldwide.
Mark Weinreb, CEO of BRT, commented, "The delivery device's novel design and unique capability of delivering cells, specifically where they are most effective, is a necessary component of the treatment regimen. As our disc restoration program advances and we receive all necessary approvals, we look forward to easing the pain experienced by back and disc pain sufferers."
About BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.'s goal is to become a leader in developing medical procedures using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving a patient's own stem cells (non-embryonic), allowing patients to undergo cellular-based treatments. The Company has obtained a license for the adult stem cell treat

"Light chewers!"
"My lab is not a heavy chewer, more of a medium. She chewer the half of the ""wolf"" in a couple of weeks. She pays no attention to it anymore. "
""Perfect for ""light"" chewers""
I have an aging Great Dane who loves to chew on her Nylabone Flexible. She's a senior so she doesn't chew as dilligently as she used to and this is perfect for satisfying her occasional chewing urgers. We call it her pacifier because she will sometimes gnaw on it until she falls asleep. I don't recommend these for more aggressive chewers, as our young APBT mix got it away from the dane one time and tore chunks off of it, but for the lighter chewer, it's perfect.
