Dr. Maria Simbra
Since she joined KDKA-TV, Dr. Maria has reported on a variety of timely health care topics – from new medical technology, to trends in health care, to diseases that touch our community — with both insight and empathy. KDKA viewers have come to view her as a trusted member of their hometown news team.
As a physician with the added credential of an advanced journalism degree, she has been recognized for her work with the Award of Excellence from the National Association of Medical Communicators in 2006, two nominations for a Mid-Atlantic National Association of Television Arts and Sciences Emmy Award in 2006 and 2007, and an Emmy award in 2008. She was named on Pittsburgh Magazine's "40 under 40″ list, honoring the area's influential young people.
A leader in medical journalism — she served on the Association of Health Care Journalists Board of Directors from 2005 to 2007. She was elected to the National Association of Medical Communicators Board of Directors in 2007.
In addition to reporting for KDKA, she has been a clinical assistant professor of neurology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and was in private practice neurology in Beaver County prior to that. Transitioning into a new specialty, she is pursuing a masters degree in public health, focusing on how the mass media affect public health.
In 2001, she decided to explore her long-standing interest in mass media, and entered the journalism and mass communications masters program at Point Park University. By 2003, she had completed her M.A. in journalism and mass communications. She now teaches medical journalism to both journalism students and medical students at Pittsburgh area universities.
Her other teaching activities include serving as faculty on the NIH's "Medicine and the Media Symposium" in July 2004, as a Hearst Visiting Professional at Arizona State University in September 2005, and as a conference panelist for the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality in July 2006. She has written for PLoS (Public Library of Science) Medicine, Neurology Reviews, and the Pittsburgh Business Times. Her book review of the Health Writer's Handbook appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association. She's been featured in USA Today and Television Week.
Dr. Maria is active in a wide range of professional organizations and also finds time for volunteer work. With local charities, she serves as the Mistress of Ceremonies for the Alzheimer Association's Annual Educational Program, she ran the Phoenix half-marathon for the American Stroke Association's "Train to End Stroke," she has been a panelist for the American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" event, she has been a guest speaker at the American Cancer Society's fashion show luncheon, and she has opened the play "Tuesdays with Morrie" for the ALS Association, and chairs its annual "Walk to d'Feet ALS."
Prior to embarking on her dual career as a physician and medical correspondent, she undertook studies at West Virginia University, where she graduated summa cum laude with degrees in both biology and chemistry in 1989. In 1993, she earned her M.D. from the University of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Maria grew up in Morgantown, W.Va. She and her husband, Jeffrey Burket, an infectious disease physician, reside in the western suburbs of Pittsburgh. They welcomed their beautiful daughter into the world in January 2009.

"I absolutely LOVED these invitations! I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and image color/clarity. They were so simple but as they say, "less is more!" These were so PERFECT for my baby's Western Themed Birthday Party. This was my first time ordering from Tiny Pints and I will definitely be a returning customer!"
"Quality is wonderful. We used a photo of my son pulling his shirt back to show the "S" for superman. SO STINKIN CUTE!! Tons of compliments. Best card we've created through Tiny Prints thus far!"
"These invitation were a hit. Top quality printing. I honestly was not sure what to expect, but very please that I ordered this particular invitation for my son's 3rd birthday party. No complaints!"
"This invitation template was perfect for my son's thank you notes after his superhero party. I was able to adjust the wording to conform to a thank you note and the designer was able to add 1 large photo on the front instead of 2 small ones. Everyone was impressed that the theme and details did not end the day of the party. And they arrived lightning fast."
"I used this card for my twins 1st bday pool bash and was able to make it work with two names and the "1" inside the ball! It was so cute and easy to coordinate colors with :) Steph"

I am doing this as just a hobby and I can't always sit down for long periods of time to upload items, so it would be nice if you could be able to save the process and come back to it.

Maternal deaths cut by half—UN
UNITED NATIONS – Better care has cut the number of women dying in pregnancy and childbirth by nearly half in the past two decades, but there is still a death every two minutes, according to UN figures released Wednesday.
India and Nigeria between them accounted for one third of the 287,000 deaths of pregnant women in 2010 and Africa accounts for 36 of the 40 countries with the highest maternal deaths.
But health experts hailed the 47% fall in fatalities from 543,000 in 1990, and said the strategy for saving more lives was clear.
"We know exactly what to do to prevent maternal deaths: improve access to voluntary family planning, invest in health workers with midwifery skills, and ensure access to emergency obstetric care when complications arise," said Babatunde Osotimehin, executive director of the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).
"These interventions have proven to save lives," he added at the launch of the "Trends in Maternal Mortality" report by the UNFPA, World Health Organization, UN Children's Fund and the World Bank.
Countries in Eastern Asia have made most progress on improving the health of expectant and new mothers, said the report.
Many countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, will fail to reach the Millennium Development Goal of reducing maternal death by 75% from 1990 to 2015.
"Every two minutes, a woman dies of pregnancy-related complications," said the report.
The four most common causes are: severe bleeding after childbirth, infections, high blood pressure during pregnancy, and unsafe abortion.
Almost 20% of deaths (56,000) were in India and 14% (40,000) in Nigeria in 2010.
Another eight countries – Democratic Republic of the Congo (15,000), Pakistan (12,000), Sudan (10,000), Indonesia (9,600), Ethiopia (9,000), Tanzania (8,500), Bangladesh (7,200) and Afghanistan (6,400) – account for the next 40%.
"More than 215 million women lack access to modern contraceptives," said Osotimehin, a former health minister in Nigeria.
"Meeting the need for voluntary family planning for these women would not only fulfill a human right, it would also reduce the number of maternal deaths by a third. This is a highly cost-effective public health strategy," he added.
In 2010, the global maternal mortality ratio was 210 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. Sub-Saharan Africa had the highest maternal mortality ratio at 500 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, said the report.
In sub-Saharan Africa, a woman faces a 1 in 39 lifetime risk of dying during pregnancy or childbirth. In South-eastern Asia the risk is 1 in 290 and in developed countries, it is 1 in 3,800.

Okay my jumpshot goes in 85 % of the time but the only problem with it is......... my form I have a little hitch in it when I shoot and I have no idea how to change my form. I will try to post a video up here, but does anyone know how I can change my form to be an even better jumpshooter because the season has already started and I am going to have to make things happen which mean score, get my teammates involved, etc. So I need to work on it big time, but how?
A great coach told me to sit at the freethrow line and work on only form not it going in but when that waasnt helping me enough a camp videotaped my shot and went through the correct form to make sure i understood what was wrong which helped my sideways shot
What you need to do is practice doing many other forms. Take a couple shots, if they go in then do that form and practice it a lot. When you shoot the ball you want to be calm and relaxed. Make sure the ball can be controlled when you shoot. That is the way I was tought.
Start without a ball and do your form slowly 100 times. Then do it 100 times with a ball, but no basket 100 times. Lastly, stand in front of the basket and shoot with a soft touch 100 times. I hope this helped.

Weaknesses: Rails might not fit your seatpost.
Bottom Line:
My preliminary research says that carbon rails can't be adjusted (bent) like metal rails.
The saddle is beautiful and so light--and so expensively disappointing.
My advice is to be certain of fit before buying.
My rating will ignore the fit/buyer responsibility issue. This is a beautiful, light and expensive saddle (as expected) that does not deserve to be downgraded because of my inattention.

Strengths: Very light, and very comfortably.
Weaknesses: Only lasts half a season.
Bottom Line:
But in terms of comfort and weight, nothing beats an SLR 135g saddle.
Many people ask: how is a saddle like that comfortable? Well, there are two ways to make a comfortable saddle. 1) with a lot of padding and 2) with great flex. The original leather saddles (ie Brooks) relied on flex to be comfortable, and these are revered as the most comfortable saddles on the market. The SLR also relies on flex to be comfortable - the carbon fiber base and Ti rails offer fantastic flex. I f'ing love this saddle.

Strengths: comfortable, light, short break in time, US-made Ti rails
Weaknesses: a little pricey, leather cover tears easily
Bottom Line:
I was skeptical at first, but was looking for the perfect blend of comfort, light weight, and affordability. The saddle has worked very well whether I'm on my daily 18 mile commute or in a recent 75km race (all off road).
The only draw back that I have is the leather ripped pretty easily during a crash on the pavement that I had. Hey, it was my fault and indestructibility was not one of the features that I was looking for. A little glue sealed it up nicely and the saddle still performs.
The SLR is an outstanding saddle and I recommend at least giving it a test drive.

After a stunning 40-yard strike by Nathaniel Clyne helped knock Arsenal out of the Capital One Cup Tuesday, Southampton manager, Ronald Koeman, believes that he's on course to become the latest of the club's players to be capped by England.
Southampton entered the season a major question mark after losing so many key players over the summer but, if today was any indication, look to have plenty of reason to be optimistic as they gave Liverpool plenty of trouble today despite losing in the end 2-1.
Add Nathaniel Clyne to the growing list of Southampton players (and manager) who are rumored to be leaving the south coast this summer.

Adam Miller is back for his second season as football coach.
Graduating off last year's 3-7 team were Nick Campbell, Brandon Christian, Mitch Gigandet, Jared Heitkamp, Joey Hoelscher, Craig Lengenkamp, John Marchal, Michael Marchal, Evan Phlipot, Damian Richard, Wyatt Roberts, Grant Toops and Jacob Wenning.
Returning letterwinners include seniors Kyle Dieringer, Jace Barga, Zach Steinbrunner, Luke Paulus, Dan Borchers, David Stewart, Mitchell Harshbarger and Josh Kremer; and juniors Corey Dieringer, Kyle Gigandet, Adam Lyons, Kyle Marchal Gavin Mills, Jaren Niekamp, Collin Peters and Andrew Schmitt.
"We are coming into this season inexperienced," Miller said. "We feel like we have a lot of potential on the rise. The inexperience will open up some great competition for the open positions. This competition will keep us sharp and improve our team as a whole. Our goal is to make the playoffs."
The Tigers hope to finish in the top three in the MAC.
Boys Golf
Pete DiSalvo returns for his 35th season as coach.
The Tigers finished 10-1 last year, tying for second in the Midwest Athletic Conference.
Graduating off that team was first team All-MAC player and state qualifier Ryan Knapke.
Also graduating off that team were second team All-MAC Tyler Drees and Alex Stucke and third team All-MAC selection Mitchell Stover.
The returning letterwinners include juniors Griffen Riegle and Jacob Watren and sophomores Nicholas Litten Stonebraker and Kyle Cotner.
"We are young and inexperienced," DiSalvo said. "With only eight overall team members, we will see how it progresses. We have potential; we will just have to see how it works out."
DiSalvo hopes to contend for the MAC title.
Girls Golf
Joe Harmann takes over as Versailles girls golf coach.
The Lady Tigers were 13-0 overall last season and 7-0 in the MAC, winning the MAC tournament as well.
Graduating off that team were Brooke Wehrkamp, Elizabeth White, Katie Heckman and Emily Harman.
Returning letterwinners include seniors Morgan Middendorf and Kaitylyn Middendorf; juniors Hannah Niekamp and Madison Covault and sophomore Lauren Heitkamp.
"Obviously, every coach wants to be first in the league and win a state title," Harmann said. "I don't think I am any different than any other coach in any sport. The goal is to win the league title and win the state championship.
"However, other goals include setting personal bests for each golfer, getting better as a team as the season progresses, having great cohesiveness as a team and enjoying the process.
"A personal goal for me is to make sure every girls enjoys her experience and takes something they learned from the season into their life."
Harmann hopes to be among the top teams in the MAC.
Karla Frilling returns as volleyball coach after coaching the Lady Tigers to a D-III state titlle last year.
The Lady Tigers finished 27-2 overall and 8-1 in the MAC.

Returning letterwinners are seniors Lauren Bruns, Taylor Winner, Christa Puthoff, Janelle Mangen and Emily Ruhenkamp and junior Kristin Langston.

Pune: The Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Pune division has arrested an assistant police inspector (API) and police constable from the Duttawadi police station for accepting bribe to the tune of Rs50,000 in return of presenting a positive report to the court, in a case filed against a complainant at the police station.The arrested API has been identified as Vitthal Shivaji Singte and the constable as Dattatray Vithoba Nike. On Friday night, the two went to Sadashiv Peth to pick up the money from the complainant.
Speaking to dna, deputy commissioner of police (ACB) Sarang Awad said, "The complainant is a doctor, who also dabbles in the construction business. A few days ago, one person had complained against him at the police station. Following the case procedures, the police was to send a report to the court, and API Shingate was assigned as the investigating officer. Shingate then approached the complainant and demanded Rs5 lakh to send a positive report to the court. The complainant negotiated the deal for Rs3 lakh and paid up accordingly."
However, Shingate and Nike asked for Rs50,000 more. "Shingate and Nike had also asked the complainant to handover flat booking receipts worth Rs10 lakh, so that they can recover the amount when the flats were eventually sold. This frustrated the complainant, who approached us and lodged a complaint against the duo on Friday," Awad said.
Thereafter, the ACB verified the complainant's claims and laid a trap at Sadashiv Peth. Awad added, "The team led by deputy superintendent of police Hemant Bhat laid a trap at the venue and caught the duo red-handed, accepting a bribe of Rs50,000 from the complainant."

While it's nice of Men's Health to think of Oklahoma Joe's, I'd submit that it isn't even one of the top-five manliest BBQ joints in Kansas City. Woodyard Bar-B-Que cooks on an outdoor brick smoker. LC's is where you conduct business in the dining room. The Stack's food is an unintentional eating challenge. Johnny's has crinkle-cut fries and man-cave decor (dating from before such a noxious concept existed). And Danny Edwards looks like a construction job site at lunchtime. But even without our manliest representative, Kansas City should be the favorite. KC is like Sparta — if you're from here, you're cut from a different loincloth than the rest of the country.

I've only been exposed to two types of DuraFiber racquets prior to today: the orange "Lite", of which I picked up a pristine example a few months ago, and the black "XT".
With a name like "DuraFiber", one would have thought that the brand was created specifically to market racquets made out of a tenacious fibrous substrate, so I was quite surprised to come upon this well-worn stick in a pile of unremarkable Dunlops and Heads today (shown above its "Lite" cousin for dimensional reference):
While this frame is not made out of any kind of fiber, the material is in fact a 'dura' according to a decal affixed to the side of the shaft - 'Duraluminum' to be exact, an old-school aircraft alloy that's actually a good deal stronger than the 6000 series alloy used in most contemporary aluminum racquets.
There are no legible markings other than the aforementioned decal, a serial number, and the logo on the butt cap, so I have no way of knowing what the actual model designation was. I am guessing that this was the low-end offering of the series, but the alloy frame is significantly stiffer than the buttery soft "Lite", and has a tinier but more solid-feeling sweet spot compared to the one found on the latter. This particular unit had seen plenty of hard use in its day; which suggests it had reliably served its previous owner(s). I am particularly intrigued by the onboard crucifix (or is that an anti-aircraft sighting device?); I suppose the cavity could have been covered by a logo at one point, but this is weirder looking, hence better
. Regardless, I don't expect to ever run into this unusual beast again in my neck of the woods, unless it is actually more common than I think it is?

Fall 2014 Editor's Pick

"RITE OF PASSAGE: The Early Years of Vienna Actionism, 1960 – 1966"
Günter Brus, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch, Rudolf Schwarzkogler
Hauser & Wirth, 32 East 69th St., NYC
the first major New York City exhibition to explore, through rare paintings, collages, and photographs, the emergence of a critical 20th-century avant-garde movement. Various artistic developments in the second half of the 20th century have been influenced by a performative paradigm that emphasizes a move away from formal, static objects and toward more directly experiential, event-like, and sensorial gestures. In the early 1960s, the Vienna Actionists defined their radical style through a critique of painting, specifically that of European Art Informel and the Abstract Expressionism of the New York School. Under Austria's Second Republic, Brus, Muehl, Nitsch, and Schwarzkogler sought out new possibilities for expression that could transcend the shadow of World War II. Motivated by material experimentation, they developed their art around radical body-centric performances through which authentic experiences of reality and incisive political statements could be directly and intensely perceived.

Chevy Chase has once again been bad mouthing the show that he currently stars in, Community. Come on, Chevy. Can't we all just get along? I would have though after Dan Harmon's departure you would let sleeping dogs lie!
But, oh no, wait, Chevy has now stated that not only does he regret signing up for the NBC comedy but that he believes television sitcoms are "the lowest form of television." It wasn't all bad though, he did say he likes the cast that he worked with.
Chase's peculiar interview with the Huffington Post's UK edition also sees him discuss his feelings for Louie CK in such an odd fashion that you barely know if he likes or loathes him. Anyway, Chase isn't the only actor to hate his work. Here are 5 other thespians who despised the content they starred in.

text: Cloud Google to challenge Evernote with new note-taking app Keep March 18, 2013 7:15 AM Sean Ludwig 0 Google is working to release a new note-taking app called Keep and it could seriously challenge Evernote, the king of note-taking applications. On Sunday, Google appears to have accidentally released Keep and then immediately pulled it, according to Android Police. The app was available at "https://drive.google.com/keep/" but it was taken down quickly. This official Keep image is still live. Based on accounts by those who used Keep briefly, the app is a lot like Google Notebook used to be. It offers a list of notes and tools to color-code your notes, make checklists, and save important photos. An Android app is apparently also in the works. Evernote is the top note-taking app, and it has more than 45 million users. It recently started offering services for businesses, and it will likely IPO in 2015 or 2016. But Google Keep could steal some users away from Evernote because it is conveniently part of the Google ecosystem and Google Apps. Check out a few photos of Google Keep captured by Android Police below.

HOUSTON - An early morning police chase came to a dramatic end Friday when the suspect ditched his burning car and jumped from the third floor of a Galleria-area parking garage, police said.
According to the Houston Police Department, it started when tactical officers approached the suspect in the 6100-block of Hillcroft in southwest Houston. Police said the man hid something in his seat and when they questioned him, he sped away.
Officers gave chase, heading north on the West Loop. The suspect then exited at San Felipe and drove into the parking garage for the Amegy Bank building on Post Oak Parkway, smashing through a gate arm.
Police said the man s car started throwing sparks and eventually caught fire. He stopped on the third floor where he jumped toa grassy area belowto try and get away from police and security.
The alarm went off, I guess when he got to the third floor, said one security officer. I immediately got on the phone with the engineer and let him know what was going on. After that I came out here to see exactly what went on.
I was kind of scared because I didn t know what was going on. I m happy nothing happened to me.
Officers said no officers or bystanders were hurt in the chase, but the suspect was injured from the three-story fall. After being detailed briefly in the back of a patrol car, he was loaded onto a stretcher and taken to the hospital.
HPD said the suspect willface fleeing charges.

Remote and Industrial Advanced Medic Program (RIAMP)
What is it?
The Remote and Industrial Advanced Medic Program (RIAMP) is designed for experienced, certified paramedics and qualified military personnel to provide complex care for both emergency and non-emergency patients in land and maritime divisions of the resource extraction, oil, and gas industries. These individuals are considered mid-level, physician extenders.
Physician extenders have provided outstanding delegated care in a wide range of remote, austere, and atypical environments around the world. But this type of work environment is very demanding on the medic's skills and knowledge; in addition, many employers in this environment seek staff with advanced training and current skills renewal prior to placement with their organization.
This course is an extensive advanced medical program and provided over a 20-22 week period through a combination of online learning, onsite practical labs, and internship. The training covers advanced trauma care, atypical resuscitation, extended medical or trauma patient care while waiting evacuation resources, primary care problems, dental emergencies, medical clinic/supply management issues and preventive health.
The RIAMP training is delivered in three segments and provides roughly 400 instructional contact hours:
- Section 1:
- Distance learning via ONLINE course of instruction – June 1 – August 30, 2015
- Section 2:
- Simulation, clinical applications and practical skills sessions at the CLIMB facility – September 14 – September 26, 2015
- Section 3:
- 100 hour Clinical Internship with primary care physician, plus a 100 hour internship placement in an emergency medicine environment or a remote/developing world setting under the direct guidance of a Physician or Advanced Medic, respectively – Clinicals TBA (Fall Term 2015)
RIAMP Program Details:
Program cost: $9200

Is it right for you?
This field is consistently in need of trained professionals. There are many opportunities for advanced practice medics in both industry and government contract settings around the world. This exciting advanced field of medicine may be right for you if you have:
- A strong comprehension of both spoken and written English
- A desire to learn, share, teach, and do
- Strong team work skills and the ability to function in a disciplined environment
- Reasonable physical and mental conditioning
- A clear understanding that this program teaches remote and operational medicine via online learning, onsite practical labs, and internship
- A firm grasp that a portion of the program requires performing in hospitals, clinics, and challenging environmental settings both in the U.S. and possibly third world countries.
Individuals interested in RIAMP must grasp that this is a process to meet accepted international standards and that successful completion of the program is not automatic, but entirely dependent on the student meeting all standards and demonstrating the appropriate mindset required.
After completion of both Sections 1 & 2 of the RIAMP training, participants are eligible to sit for the Critical Care Paramedic exam and the Trauma Paramedic exam.
After completion of sections 1, 2, and 3, participants are eligible for EMT-Intensive Care Paramedic (EMT-ICP) Requirements.
We expect that a new international certification will be available in the fall of 2015, titled Remote Intensive Care Paramedic.
Following completion of an advanced practice program (RIAMP), individuals are able to challenge for the AREMT ICP level certification.
RIAMP individual online Modules Available for CEU
Paramedics will have the opportunity to take individual RIAMP online modules for CEU credit. Registration is $199 per 10-hour module and can be taken as stand alone CEU opportunities. We are applying for CECBEMS approval and are working to have in place by Summer Term. Taking individual modules will not apply toward the full RIAMP training. The onsite, skills intensive is only available to participants registered for the complete RIAMP training.

When I got to Mexico City's main ceremonial drag, where national parades and military marches are flanked by the art nouveaustyle Palacio de Bellas Artes and the most striking Sears department store building you will ever see, it had transformed into a full-on tent city: blue tarp, camping tents, and thousands of political cartoons flowed east for half a mile and filled the Zócalo, the city's vast central plaza. Just a few days before, Mexico's highest electoral court had confirmed National Action Party (PAN) candidate Felipe Calderón as the country's next president. His opponent Andreas Manuel López Obrador, who challenged the cleanliness of the election that had him losing by a little more than half a percentage point, had asked that his camped-out supporters stay where they were until they could force a vote-by-vote recount. The recount had been denied, and Calderón was now certain to replace outgoing president Vicente Fox, but López Obrador's supporters were still there in their virtual city within a city.
And then it was gone. The annual military march on Mexican Independence Day saw to that. In its absence, on other streets all over the capital, another tent city continued to function, one that had been there long before the political mess and will be there long after. It shows up in the morning and gets taken down in the evening nearly every day, and it's a hugely significant part of Mexico's economy. In his novel Hombre al Agua, Fabrizio Mejía Madrid describes the miles of blue tarp that are the skin of Mexico City street commerce as the closest thing a landlocked resident can hope for in the way of waterfront property. Pirated movies, albums, and software are absolutely everywhere you could drown.
According to a study conducted by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the star of the recent movie This Film Is Not Yet Rated, and cited by the Los Angeles Times, in 2005 major studios lost more revenue to Mexican street vendors, $483 million, than to those of any other country on this thieving little planet. You can mark me down as responsible for about $200 of that. In my seven months in Mexico, I went to a grand total of one museum, one cathedral, and zero ancient pyramids. Mostly, I just watched movies. And since as we all secretly believe or at least suspect watching movies is better than real life anyway, I ended up doing a lot of it on my return visit, with the friends I somehow found the time and opportunity to meet.
Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger was my first recruit in the great battle between art and intellectual property law. In it Jack Nicholson plays a journalist who switches identities with the black-market arms dealer who's died in his hotel, kicking off one Sunday drive of a thriller. Surely, there's no sleepier suspense film. (Antonioni's Blow-Up doesn't count, since it's an artsy fuck you to suspense films, just as Brian De Palma's Blow Out is a fuck you to artsy fuck yous to suspense films.) Amazingly, though, the pace never dissolves the tension, despite Antonioni's gallant attempts to try our patience, like introducing love interest Maria Schneider after a full hour of film. A much less successful test of our patience is Nicholson's bewildered commentary, which does little more than narrate a movie you couldn't get lost in if you were blindfolded and spun around really fast. I sat through half of it and was rewarded with one semiprecious jewel: Nicholson's character was wearing the first digital watch ever made, by Tiffany.
After that humble start, the next day I went on a Mexican filmbuying binge. Well, I tried to. You'd think the one thing you'd be certain to find in Mexico is Mexican film. You'd be right about half the time, but those are odds I don't particularly care for.

For the Bishop Grimes girls basketball team, the continued quest for an undefeated 2009-10 season almost got away again.
Saturday's game against Nazareth Academy (Rochester) provided a lot of thrills and scares -- but in the end, the Cobras got past it, winning by a score of 53-51.
The two sides started the game with wildly different styles, yet both proved effective. Cady Kalemba and Amelia Heiselman combined for four 3-pointers in the first quarter, only to see Nazareth counter with drives past the Grimes defense to the basket that led to points and a 14-14 tie at period's end.
That strong pace continued in the second period, and Nazareth inched in front, 29-26, helped in no small part by a defense that forced the Cobras into turnovers. And though it played far better in the third period, Grimes still trailed, 35-34, with one period left.
But led by Amanda Marcely, who had nine of her 13 points in the second half, plus more big outside shots from Heiselman and Kalemba, the Cobras bolted to a 47-41 lead with three minutes left and were ready to put it away.
Nazareth refused to quit, though, eating away at the margin in the late going despite Grimes' proficiency (seven-for-nine down the stretch) at the free-throw line.
Kalemba's foul shot with 7.3 seconds left put Grimes back up by two, and its pressure on the ball forced Nazareth into a wild shot at the end that was off target.
All told, Kalemba had 16 points and Heiselman 13 points, most of it from seven total 3-pointers. Nazareth had a well-balanced attack, too, with Harley Cleary earning 14 points as Janine Swanson and Julia Crilly each had 13 points.
In stark contrast, he Bishop Grimes boys team had no trouble at all ripping Hannibal 72-38 Saturday night at the Coaches vs. Cancer Challenge at Onondaga Community College, improving to 13-1 on the season.

"The best man is going to win and right now I think Raul is a little bit better than Jermaine" Also Shields Concerned About Judging For Diaz fight!
18.06.04 - Interview by Carlos Kalinchuk: Some say that Donald Trump is the busiest real estate developer in the country. He starts his days early and he finishes very late into the evening. In boxing, I can't think of another trainer who's currently as busy as veteran trainer Ronnie Shields out of Houston. In the midst of preparing Raul Marquez for his fight with Jermaine Taylor this weekend, he's also training Dominick Guinn, James Leija, and Juan Diaz for big fights in the next 5 weeks. Although some would shudder at the thought of 12-hour training days and evenings filled with hours upon hours of videotape, by Shields' disposition and attitude, you'd know he's loving every minute of it. "
And that's what this boxing is all about and that's challenges and I look forward to challenges all the time!" Knowing what's in front of him and his fighters, that's exactly what he has on his hands.
I caught up with Ronnie last Friday as he was wrapping up his training with Raul Marquez. In addition to his upcoming fights, we discussed his disappointment over Guinn's performance, his concern over the judges in the Diaz fight, and his prospects of working as the lead trainer on Oscar DelaHoya's up coming reality show, "The Contender." This is a good read and a look at one of boxings finest trainers. Enjoy.
Eastside Boxing: I heard it through the grapevine that you are being considered as one of the official trainers for Oscar DelaHoya's upcoming reality show-The Contender. How did that come about?
Ronnie Shields: They called me up and they asked me if I was interested, and I told them "Yeah I am" and they told me they would get back with me after June 12th. Because June 12th is the final city they were going to which is Las Vegas and so now I'm just waiting to hear from them.
Eastside Boxing: This would be kind of new for you right, kind of a leap into this reality TV genre that's become so popular right?
Ronnie Shields: Yeah, it sounds pretty exciting and I'm looking forward to it. Right now Im just basically waiting to hear from them. Right now I don't even know who the fighters are going to be and they don't know which divisions they picked as of yet but I'm sure there's going to be some guys that I've seen before and probably a lot of new guys that I haven't seen.
Eastside Boxing: From what you heard what were the pre-requisites for the boxers? Where they supposed to have a pro background?
Ronnie Shields: From what I understand, you don't have to have ANY fights. You just have to try out for it and there's going to be a lot of inexperienced guys that if I do get the job I'm basically going to have to teach them how to fight.
Eastside Boxing: (Laughs).
Ronnie Shields: But that's always a challenge and that's always the exciting part.
Eastside Boxing: I can see where it has it's advantages working with a guy that's a clean slate versus a guys who repeatedly done things a certain way for years or done things wrong repeatedly as well.
Ronnie Shields: Yeah, absolutely. I'm sure it'll be a challenge and I'm just looking forward to it but I'm sure there'll be a lot of guys with a lot of experience also.
Eastside Boxing: I asked Dominick Guinn what he learned in his last fight so I'm going to ask you the same thing. What did you learn about the last fright from Dominick Guinn or what did you pick up on that he could have done differently? Obviously you were imploring him to throw more punches but to summarize, what did you learn about Dominick from his last fight?
Ronnie Shields: Well, usually after the fight I go back and watch the tape and critique the fight but after this loss I didn't even go back to look at it.
Eastside Boxing: Too upset?
Ronnie Shields: Yeah I was too upset it because
Dominick trained REAL HARD for that fight and there was no excuse. He lost the fight. He should have won the fight. It wasn't an easy fight and we knew that going in. It was just a fight Dominick should have taken control of early on and he did it in the first round, but after the first round everything went down. And only he can answer THAT question. But like I said I haven't even gone back and seen the fight and critiqued anything. I don't think I'm going to do it this time because I'm just going to take it from there and we did everything that we possibly could for him, but it's up to the fighter to get in there and do what we trained for and he just didn't do it. And you know, hes just going to have to pick it up! He's fighting on July 24, a veteran named Phil Jackson. And it's another tough fight for him even though it's off TV but it's a step up fight for him. He'll have to step up and do the right things in the gym and do the right things in the fight and we'll see from there.
Eastside Boxing: You've got an interesting situation where you have a lot of big action fights coming up and you're going to have your hands full. You have Leija fighting Bojado
could you tell us how that's working out?
Ronnie Shields: First of all, I have Raul Marquez fighting Jermaine Taylor June 19th and that's a tough fight for us and then I have Juan Diaz fighting for the WBA Lightweight Championship here in Houston-and that's a big fight and then the following week I have James Leija and Francisco Bojado which is a very tough fight and then Dominick Guinn and Phil Jackson which is another tough fight. But you know, there's only 24 hours in a day and I'm working about 12 of it and the other 12 I'm studying tape and then I'm doing everything but I've got guys separated pretty much to where I work with them ALL individually. I don't put any of them together and I'm able to work with them individually. It's working out pretty good and everybody's getting in shape right now and it's a tough road. All four guys are fighting tough fights and it's a challenge and that's what this boxing is all about and that's challenges and I look forward to challenges all the time!
Eastside Boxing: Mayweather Sr. historically likes to turn it into a trainer versus trainer thing like he's done before. Do you expect him to do that this time? You guys kind of go way back. Do expect him to say anything derogatory about you or your fighter since he's done that so many times before?
Ronnie Shields: I'm not worried about Floyd Sr. doing that to me. As a matter of fact I don't know if he's even training him for this fight. Buddy McGirt trained Bojado in his last fight because it conflicted with his obligations to DelaHoya but now that Oscar's fight is finished, maybe he'll go back to Floyd I don't worry about that. People say and do what they want to and that doesn't bother me.
Eastside Boxing: Are you ready for his crazy poems then (Smiles)?
Ronnie Shields: Well with him it's about him and not the fighter but with me it's about the fighter and not me. My job is to get the fighter in shape and get together a good fight plan and I expect him to go out and carry it out. Anything else, they can have that. All these other guys, they want this thing to be about themselves but they're not in there throwing punches. He's giving advice and that's all he can do which is the same thing that I'm doing. The better fighters going to win and hopefully that'll be James Leija.
Eastside Boxing: Lavka Sim
tell me about this challenge for Juan. Not a whole lot of people know a lot about him but he supposed to be tough and aggressive and straightforward.
Ronnie Shields: Hes the two-time world champion so that will let you know right there that he's a very tough guy. I've been studying film on this guy and he throws a lot of punches and he's a strong fighter and he takes a great shot! And the thing about it is that we have our work cut out for us. We have a young guy (Juan Diaz) who's twenty years old fighting for his world title and he's hungry. I've been working with him now for over a month and we've got everything down already but we have to punch together now when we start sparring in another week or two. I'm expecting big things from Juan. I think Juan has the capabilities and he has the heart to win this world title and I just hope they don't steal it from him. Just because he's fighting in his hometown the pressures not on Juan, it's on Lavka Sim but I'm just concerned about the judges. That's the only thing that concerns me is the judges. I'm not worried about anything else but the judges and I hope Main Events realizes that they can talk to the commission to make sure we get judges that are fair and that's all I'm worried about. I'm not worried about the fight at all because I know Juan's going to win the fight.
Eastside Boxing: Since you brought up the subject would you like to make mention (publicly) of some of the judges who are your biggest concern?
Ronnie Shields: You know I don't like to call names but after they announce the judges I will! I will make them aware and that EVERYBODY will be watching and we're going to make a big stink of who the judges are.
Eastside Boxing: I can think of two locally that every time I see their names or see them scoring fights, and every time I see their cards I'm in shock. Im wondering were they in the restroom the whole time or were they busy ordering a round of drinks because their scorecards are always bad news.
Ronnie Shields: Actually I don't think they'll use judges from Texas.
Eastside Boxing: I hope not. Not that all of them are bad but like I said there are two I can think of that are awful that live right here in Houston.
Ronnie Shields: It could be a good thing and it could be a bad thing. But to us it doesn't matter as long as they judge the fight fairly. If we lose the fight then we lost the fight! But if we win the fight then we deserve the fight. When you're fighting a world champion, sometimes people think, "You're fighting at home!" That doesn't mean anything!
Eastside Boxing: They call Oscar's home Las Vegas and Ive seen at least two fights where he got totally jobbed.
Ronnie Shields: That's right! But he won the fight, so that's right. We're just hoping that the judges are fair and like I said, if we lose the fight, they won't hear anything from us, but if we win the fight and they steal the fight, then they're going to hear a lot!
Eastside Boxing: In closing what do you want to tell everybody? It's been a while since we talked so what do you want to tell the fans?
Ronnie Shields: Just watch out on June 19th on HBO for Raul Marquez against Jermaine Taylor and July 17th with Juan Diaz and Lavka Sim and July 24th for James Leija and Francisco Bojado and keep tuning in and supporting boxing.
Eastside Boxing: I really forgot to ask you about Raul Marquez because you have so much going on but he's very experienced and he's worked with a lot of people
how has that challenge been working with him?
Ronnie Shields: It's really easy for me because I worked with Raul in the Amateurs and when he turned professional, I was one of his trainers then. SO it's not like a new relationship
Eastside Boxing: (Interrupting) Similar to James Leija right?
Ronnie Shields: Oh yeah but I've always worked with James. We had a break from each other though but I've worked with James as a pro a lot longer than I have Raul. I never worked with James as an amateur but I've been knowing Raul for so long that when he called me up and asked me and he came in, we just picked it right up like we've been together forever. So it's really easy to me to work with him. He's looking real good in the gym and his weight is down and he's strong and ready to go. The best man is going to win and right now I think Raul is a little bit better than Jermaine. Jermaine has a lot of good fights but Jermaine has not fought the caliber of fighters that Raul has but Jermaine has to step up and we know this. We just have Raul in great shape and we're going to see what happens.
Eastside Boxing: He's finished sparring right?
Ronnie Shields: He's sparring right up until Tuesday the 15th of June. He's boxing good rounds and he has great sparring partners and we can't really ask for anything better from Raul Marquez. The fight plan is together and he's been working at it everyday and we're going to let the chips fall where they may on June 19th.
Eastside Boxing: As always Ronnie, it's a pleasure.
Ronnie Shields: Thank you.

Klingon Crafting When? and Where?

And now that STO toons will be able to properly sit in chairs we must have . . . furniture crafting! Another use for wood too.
Well, the way I described it was probably too short, so I'll give it another shot.
Rura Penthe is not just an asteroid, but a planetoid with normal gravity and atmosphere.
So there would be enough space for more than one Gulag.
And since the concept of Rura Penthe in ST6 was that of an analogy to Siberia I'd like to point out that
the Soviets had more than one kind of Gulag, they also had Gulags filled with scientists who conducted research, though they never received the credid for their work.
And what better place to put such a research Gulag than Rura Penthe?
People would still have the same problems leaving AND since it is already common knowledge that there is such an installation one or two additional transports every now and then bringing prisoners that are not meant for the primary Gulag would hardly be noticed.
Woodcrafting...for the Feds but probably not for the Klingons, they seem to dislike anything "soft" , and they sleep on metal shelfs.
Since wood is most likely still too soft for them how about some metal crafting for them instead?
