by James Slater: Tonight, at The Excel Arena, London, defending WBU welterweight champ Michael Jennings and his challenger Ross "The Boss" Minter put on an excellently entertaining and thrilling fight. The contest, chief support to Amir Khan Vs. Gairy St Clair, saw both men marked up, shaken on occasion and the contest had more than its fair share of switching momentums. The end finally came right at the end of round number nine, as Minter's corner threw in the towel seconds after the challenger had been decked heavily by a flush left hook to the head..
In the 1st, the 30-year-old Jennings, considered a non-puncher by many, surprised Minter with a cracking right hand upstairs. Minter's knees dipped, but he managed to remain upright - a bright start to what turned out to be a cracking fight.
The 29-year-old Minter, the son of former middleweight king Alan Minter, came back well in rounds two and three. Bulling Jennings around the ring at times, his aggression won him his share of success.
By the fourth, Minter was showing signs of battle, cut as he was over his left eye. It was also in this session that Minter hit the floor for the first time in the action-packed fight. "The Boss" was caught again by a big right hand, and Jennings' follow up with the same hand put the challenger down right at the end of the round. Minter beat the count, but he was lucky the bell was so close in coming.
In the fifth, Minter was bleeding from another cut, this one in his left ear. Pouring blood, the 29-year-old nevertheless continued to bore in at his man - scoring with a good right hand upstairs. Jennings was jabbing very well, however, catching Minter frequently. The champion was also sporting a cut of his own over the left eye now though.
By the 7th, Jennings was noticeably tired, as his low held hands showed. Minter came back to win this seventh round, and it was clear the argument was not over yet. Minter also scored with a sharp left hook to the jaw in round eight. Indeed, the 29-year-old was looking the stronger man now. But then, again at the end of the round, Jennings suddenly opened up with a burst of hard shots. A left hand, followed by a right, badly staggered Minter at the bell to end the 8th and a win for the 30-year-old now looked imminent.
Sure enough, the finish came in the next round. Jennings instantly opened up in the 9th, and went for the ending. His right eye now badly swollen, the WBU champ was soon tattooing his rival with both hands. Minter's heart and courage were admirable, but Jennings would not be denied. A sweet left hook to the jaw scored a dramatic and quite spectacular knockdown, and Minter crashed heavily. Up at the count of eight, Minter was under pressure from both hands as Jennings refused to let him off the hook. With no chance of a win for their man now, Minter's corner threw in the towel. The white flag fluttering in coincided with the very end of the round. Though he complained, the fight was over and Minter had been TKO'd in 9 electrifying rounds of boxing.
With the win, arguably his career best, Jennings improved to 32-1(15) The beaten Minter, who afterwards vowed to carry on fighting, fell to 17-3-1(8).

METAIRIE, La. Eight days ago, Kenny Vaccaro pressed send on his phone, shooting out a picture on Twitter of the Saints' indoor facility, with the tag, 'Saints indoor.. Might be here in two weeks?'
Maybe he knew something no one else did.
'It was my last visit and I had a real good feeling walking out of there that I might be a Saint,' Vaccaro said minutes after being picked by New Orleans with the No. 15 pick. 'I'm excited to get down there and play some football.'
The Saints went with their first safety since taking Chip Vaughn in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL draft and Vaccaro is the first Texas player New Orleans has taken since drafting Ricky Williams in 1999.
Vaccaro is the 10th defensive back taken since 2006 by New Orleans, an acknowledgement that the Saints haven't figured out the vexing position group.
The move gives the Saints depth at safety as Vaccaro has the ability to play both free and strong safety as well as the nickel. He worked at all three positions at Texas and said that was one of his strengths, something that stood out according to Saints coach Sean Payton.
'One of the things that was attractive about this player is he can do that and he has that versatility to play not only safety but he has that versatility to play down over the slot,' Payton said.
New Orleans passed on upgrading at linebacker and along the defensive line, a move some would describe as head-scratching with so many uncertainties there. The Saints had an opportunity to draft linebackers Jarvis Jones and Alec Ogletree along with defensive tackles Shariff Floyd and Sylvester Williams.
Payton said two players, including Vaccaro, were left on the team's draft board when their pick came up. He declined to identify the other player, however.
Additionally, in spite of lacking a second round selection, New Orleans didn't attempt to make any moves to grab more picks.
'We didn't want to move down,' he said. 'We would have wanted to move down possibly if those players weren't available.'
The move, meanwhile, raises questions about Roman Harper's future and whether it's at safety, another position or with another team. Harper is set to make $5.25 million this year while counting more than $7 million against the salary cap.
Payton didn't give Harper a ringing endorsement Thursday night, saying all positions will be open for competition.
'I'm not going to speculate,' Payton said. 'But you guys can. I think this we're going to have competition at both safety spots. We're going to have competition at the nickel position. This is a good young football player that will add to our defense and we'll see what happens.'
Regardless, Thursday night was about Vaccaro and his ability to beef up New Orleans' much-maligned secondary. The Saints gave up an NFL record 7,042 total yards this past season.
Vaccaro's NFL-distributed biography describes him as having the body type of a 'Cover-2 linebacker with the closing speed and downhill ability to attack the line of scrimmage to plug the rush lanes.'
The 6-foot, 214-pound senior out of Texas finished with 264 career tackles and was a part of forcing 10 turnovers five interceptions, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
His lack of interceptions is deceptive, he explained, because he spent much of his time holding down the slot receiver.
'A lot of times, when maybe an interception was thrown, it was because I was locking up the slot receiver on the other side of the field,' Vaccaro said. 'I actually got offers to Texas as a receiver when I first got there. My ball skills are pretty good.'
One of the reasons he stood out to Payton was because of the job he did helping cover spread offenses in the Big XII, including West Virginia and receiver Tavon Austin, whom the Rams traded up to pick at No. 8 Thursday night. He also faced the read-option, the newest offense to take over the NFL.
'That's a real good look,' Payton said of Texas' game against West Virginia. 'It's hard to say there was a lot of real great defense in that game because of that score. But you get to see him do some things in that game that were real impressive.'

More News from Agence France-Presse
DENPASAR, Indonesia—A Dutchman was jailed for three years on Tuesday on the Indonesian resort island of Bali for sexually abusing four girls.
Jan Jacobus Vogel, 55, was found guilty at Singaraja district court of groping the girls, aged nine to 12, and giving them small gifts or payments in return.
"The defendant's crime has traumatized the victims," judge Sri Haryani said. The sentence was lower than the four years requested by prosecutors for the Dutchman, who has lived on Bali for around eight years.
Vogel's lawyer Geoffrey Nanulaitta said he would appeal, and that the families of the victims had revoked their statements.
Local children and women rights group, Ni Luh Anggreni, said the sentence was disappointing.

|A study of parametric excitation applied to a MEMS tuning fork gyroscope
|Lee, Yongsik, 1970-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The current MEMS ( gyroscopes which normally use the electro static force to excite the comb drive are faced with the limitations such as low precision, coupling problem, and poor robustness. We propose to use parametric excitation to solve those problems. The advantage of the parametric excitation is that it can be externalized, thus, the fabrication process can also be simplified. A feasibility study of the parametric excitation using a two-pendulum model is presented. Governing equations are derived by Lagrange equation, and the results are simulated using MATLAB program. Two swing patterns, symmetric and anti-symmetric motion, are illustrated and investigated with different initial conditions. An experimental study of a tuning fork beam is presented. For non-contact motion analysis, an Eagle 3-D motion analysis digital camera system is employed. We discuss the practical problems such as limited shaker power, which is caused by open-loop excitation method. A governing equation including the damping effect by the lateral vibration of the tines is presented, and its analytical solution is compared with the experimental results. A good qualitative agreement is obtained. To clarify the softening nonlinearity of the tuning fork beam, the gravity effect is described for both vertical and inverted pendulum cases.

Anne WalkerThe Winter Pearl by Molly Noble Bull is more than a lovely romance with endearing characters; Ms. Bull challenges the reader to consider the cost of forgiveness and to remember that nothing is impossible to our Lord. The main theme is not the growing attachment of two young lovers, but the unconditional love available to those who follow Jesus, and ultimately others touched by His followers. In her truly inspiring story, Ms. Bull impresses readers with the importance of forgiveness and reliance on God, which is the greatest love story of all.

This is the third time I have tried to order food from this restaurant. Once through seamless and twice through another app. It seems that if you dont order food by a certain time of day they "run out". I have ordered at 7:30 pm, 6:00pm, and 4:30 pm. Each time they are "out of food". I will not order from this place every again. Why are you open untill 11pm but out of food so early?

My first order and someone managed to send me the wrong kind rice. Ordered curry goat and WHITE RICE, ended up with curry goat and BROWN RICE & PEAS. I HATE rice and peas, it's one of those things I just can't eat. Called to get a new order and they tell me they're out of white rice anyways. Why couldn't someone call me and tell me that? Apparently when seamless sends the form no one bothers to read the special instructions. The man on the fone was very professional and said he would cancel the order from his end so I can get reimbursed. Couldn't tell you what the food tastes like, I'll try to order again another day. Hopefully I get what I wanted.

NPR In The News: The Car Talk Edition
Originally published on Tue October 16, 2012 2:13 pm
It probably made Tom and Ray Magliozzi proud that many media outlets used their best - or maybe worst - car puns to headline Car Talk's news last week.
Cable news networks paid tribute Friday night to the brothers' and the 35 years of laughter, automobile guidance and occasional relationship advice they brought to listeners:
ABC News: 'Click and Clack' Radio Host Go Dark
- CBS News and NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams also announced the news.
- Huffington Post Entertainment put together a Car Talk inspired playlist, which included tracks from Queen, Beastie Boys, Bruce Springsteen & many others. Take a listen.
- The Inquisitr shared an animated cameo of the brothers on the PBS show Arthur:
- Silvia Killingsworth's essay in The New Yorker shed light on what the show means to Bostonians, pointed out some of the wittier Tweets that came out of the day...
@cartalk Since we are nearing the end will we ever know who is click and who is clack?
@ken147 I'm Click and he's Clack
...and answered the puzzler of all puzzlers: "How do you get to do what you love for thirty-five years and still be successful? You manage to be to be smart, funny, and helpful, all at the same time."
- Small Business Trends distilled what small business can learn from Click and Clack's weekly advice to listeners.
- Nieman Journalism Lab offered a look back at the show's 35-year history, with interviews from Car Talk Executive Producer Doug Berman and longtime NPR correspondent Susan Stamberg.

What is it?
Vauxhall is late to the city car party. Very late. So how to get a shoo-in to one of the UK's most popular new car sectors? Why, take on the Mini with an all-new premium-priced three-door, that's how. Bold? You bet. But here it is – a posh three-door city car based on a cut-down Corsa platform and sharing nothing with Vauxhall's other dreadfully dull contender in this sector, the Agila. It's been designed to offer Mini-like personalisation (more than a million configurations, reckons Vauxhall) and both the spec sheet and the marketing for the Adam are decidedly 'lifestyle'.
Ah yes, the name. Adam. It makes more sense in Germany, where Opel founder Herr Opel's first name was Adam. Here, it's just a bit, well, odd, although you can't deny it does give the car character.
The Corsa is getting on but isn't a bad car, meaning it's a good base to start the Adam from. It's more than competent enough, and a sight better than the at-times uncouth Fiat 500. A Mini is still a better though, thanks to that BMW-derived rear suspension. The Adam has sensibly been tuned for ride comfort rather than out-and-out handling (it means even 18-inch alloys are tolerable) but, with quickish steering and good front-end grip, it's neat enough. 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre petrol engines are familiar too. They're a bit raw now, but work well enough in their natural environment. Peppy rather than powerful, we'd take the 1.4 87, which strikes the best price-power balance, but there's not much in it.
There's no diesel: Vauxhall is instead rolling out a whizzy new 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol producing up to 115bhp, but also emitting as little as 99g/km CO2. It goes on sale imminently.
On the inside
The Adam is impressive inside. High-quality bespoke-look dash, built to a high standard? Check. High level of standard and optional kit, including smartphone docking? Yup. Space for four (not five) and a decent boot? You bet. But it's the fact you can make almost every part of it bespoke that's really amazing. You can even choose a 'clouds and sky' rooflining (yes, really) if you want. Or take a Rolls-Royce Phantom-style 'starlight' option. Or… well, you really need a brochure and a long weekend to pile through them all.
No, it's not the cheapest city car, but it's very distinctive and, for many, that's all that matters. Funky enough to overcome the rather unfunky Vauxhall badge? Here's hoping. It comes with all the usual Vauxhall traits of multiple dealers, low running costs and a cracking warranty. Pity the engines aren't a bit greener - and only a four-star Euro NCAP score? Oops.

Comments about Black & Decker 12 Amp 18 in. 3-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower:
I use this grinder along with a bandfile for finishing and blending welded corners on 16 and 20 ga. stainless steel countertops and doors. This grinder is small, light and powerful. I have both versions, one with the side switch, one with the top switch. I much prefer the side switch as the top switch is awkward and difficult to lock in the on position.
Best Uses
Comments about Black & Decker 12 Amp 18 in. 3-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower:
I agree with the two other commenters that noticed the switch is not easy to operate even without gloves! The switch type cannot be used to power the grinder momentarily, as it locks inmediately. And it requires a somewhat heavy pressure to be actuated. A better switch and better locaton is required (mine has the original side switch). Noise and vibration are NOT as low as my METABO, but Price was sensibly lower.
Best Uses
Comments about 12 Amp 18 in. 3-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower:
After seven years of weekely use in grass season, the plastic housing submited to vibration and the motor mounts failed. When we checked it the fan assembly was also cracked. We had never had any maintenace, it wasn't unreasonable. Got our money's worth. Used it as a mulching mower on Centipede grass.
Best Uses
Comments about Black & Decker 12 Amp 18 in. 3-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower:
This is a note that the on-off slider switch with lock has moved from the side (in the picture) to the top. I just bought it (4/7/2015). Not sure when this change was made, and I was surprised. Would this will be an issue, but I see this may be due to feedback from another poster/s who say the switch being on the side was bad because the thumb accidentally bumps and switches off.
I'll leave at 5 stars so as not to skew the rating too much, and I did bought it due to the comments.

Kyle Draper and Tommy Heinsohn evaluate Brad Stevens' first year with the Celtics.
"Brad Stevens got his big toe in the tub, felt the hot water, and jumped in," says Heinsohn. "Right now I think he's learned what pro basketball is all about. I think he's a very astute basketball personality.
"He proved to me that he can reach down and reach the players because they've played hard through everything that's happened to this basketball team this season. I think he's the one."
Stevens came to the Celtics after experiencing tremendous success with Butler. But he quickly found the college an NBA games are vastly different, especially the schedules.
"He had a month to prepare his collegiate team," says Heinsohn. "He had five days before the first pre-season game."
All-in-all, Stevens has done a good job in his first year on an NBA sideline. He's had to handle some tricky situations, but has demonstrated that he can hang with the big boys.

ICANN Domain Name Application Process Re-Opens
As of Monday, companies and organizations can once again log in, review, and submit applications to the agency handling a large-scale expansion of Internet addresses, various media outlets have reported.
According to the Associated Press (AP), the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) reopened the proposal process this week after shutting it down on April 12 due to a software glitch that had made some private information accessible. Repairs were originally expected to take just four days.
As a result of the delay, BBC News reports that the deadline for new applications has been extended until 23:59 GMT/UTC on May 30. Prior to the tech issues, ICANN reported that 839 users had applied for up to 50 new, top-level domain names — which requires an up-front payment of $185,000 and annual maintenance fees of $25,000 — the British news agency added.
"During the last few weeks, we have fixed the technical glitch that caused us to take the system offline. Also, to address user feedback, we have improved the overall system performance and the HTML preview function," ICANN Chief Operating Officer Akram Atallah said in a May 21 statement.
"In our continuing review of the system logs and system traffic, we determined that in two instances, a single file might have been temporarily unavailable to an applicant. Full access to those two files has been restored. ICANN notified the affected users," Atallah added. "We recognize and regret the inconvenience caused by this glitch and the delayed closing of the application window."
Even before the software glitch and the lengthy delay in the application process, ICANN was receiving criticism for their handling of the process, BBC News reported Tuesday.
"The US Department of Commerce cancelled a bidding process expected to extend its right to manage the domain name system after dozens of firms signed a petition protesting that they would face significant new costs to protect their trademarks," they said. "They claimed the expansion program involved a 'deeply flawed justification, excessive cost and harm to brand owners, likelihood of predatory cyber harm to consumers and failure to act in the public interest'."
Since then, the group announced that Alain Pellett, the former head of the International Law Commission of the United Nations (UN), to serve as an "independent objector" who will be responsible for filing grievances regarding applications that he believes are counter to "the best interests of the public," the BBC added.

Welcome new faculty member Kelli Allen, PhD
Please join us in welcoming our newest faculty member, Kelli Allen, PhD, to UNC and to Thurston. We are very excited to welcome Kelli to our team as of May 1, 2014. Dr. Allen is a Professor of Medicine and a Research Health Scientist whose research interests are health services and behavioral interventions for people with musculoskeletal conditions, particularly osteoarthritis (OA). She has advanced degrees in Exercise and Sports Science, and in Health and Sports Science. This expertise is distinctly important in OA and in our new initiatives in post-traumatic OA with the Departments of Exercise and Sports Science and Orthopedics.
Now at UNC, she is a part of UNC's Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Center (MCRC) focused on mitigating the public health impact of osteoarthritis. MCRC members have been leading the efforts of the US Bone and Joint Initiative and the OA Action Alliance, and a primary focus of Dr. Allen's research has been the development of both patient-based and provider-based interventions for managing OA.
Dr. Allen has conducted the majority of her work with the Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare system in Durham, North Carolina and was the recipient of a VA Merit Review Entry Program award to develop a telephone-based self-management intervention for OA in veterans. She was subsequently Principal Investigator of a VA Health Service Research and Development funded clinical trial of that intervention and based on the results of that study, Dr. Allen is now leading a randomized trial, Patient and Provider Interventions for Managing Osteoarthritis in Primary Care.
In addition to a refined patient-based intervention, this study is evaluating a novel primary care provider-based intervention, in which patient-specific treatment recommendations are issued at the point of care. This provider-based intervention has the potential to be a practical solution for addressing known gaps in quality of care for OA.
This is particularly important work, since there has been almost no research of provider or health system level interventions to address OA management, particularly in the US. Dr. Allen's work in this area will provide the complementary expertise to our center to ensure that we are the leaders in the country in this area.
Examining the role of health disparities and outcomes in OA and other types of arthritis has been a focus of a number of investigators in the MCRC and at TARC for the past 15 years. A second theme in Dr. Allen's research is understanding and reducing disparities in health care and outcomes for patients with OA. She has been lead author on several papers that have described racial differences in OA prevalence and outcomes and also delineated factors underlying these disparities. One key result of this work has been the identification of modifiable factors that contribute to racial disparities in osteoarthritis-related pain. In particular, in two separate cohorts, she and her colleagues found that psychosocial factors and pain coping were key mediators of this disparity, informing interventions to tailor and test a pain coping skills training program for African Americans with OA.
Dr. Allen has contributed to 60 peer reviewed publications, 36 as primary author, as well as three invited editorials; the vast majority of these publications are related to OA care and outcomes. Dr. Allen has been PI of five randomized clinical trials that, when completed, will have delivered behavioral and / or health services interventions to about 1,900 patients with hip and knee OA. She also has a newly-funded grant from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to evaluate physical therapy interventions in OA.
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Allen to our team as her work is filling gaps and answering practical questions about optimal models and processes of care for the chronic management of OA.
Awareness Programs in May
May is a busy month for the Thurston Arthritis Research Center and many of of our partner organizations. May is Arthritis Awareness Month, Lupus Awareness Month and Food Allergy Action Month!
The TARC Heels had a team for the Arthritis Foundation's Walk to Cure Arthritis on May 10th (a few pictures from the event can be seen in the slideshow to the right).
The Arthritis Foundation raises funds and awareness to fight the nation's leading cause of disability. We are all helping the millions of people who live with arthritis pain which is painful and can last a lifetime. Tragically, it impacts 1 in 5 American adults and 300,000 children. It's time to find a cure!
Our faculty and staff will participate in Put On Purple Day by wearing purple on May 16! This is a special day when local communities rally to bring greater attention to lupus by wearing purple and telling others why they support people affected by lupus. In recognition of Lupus Awareness Month, the Lupus Foundation of America is calling on the public to take action. Lupus is a mysterious and devastating disease that ravages different parts of the body and has no known cause and no known cure.
Our faculty and staff will support Food Allergy Research and Education by participating in the #TealTakeover
Teal is the color of food allergy awareness and communities across the country will be decked out in teal to show their spirit. FARE has declared the month of May Food Allergy Action Month to raise awareness and to inspire action on behalf of the 15 million Americans with food allergies. We can improve understanding of food allergy, advance the search for a cure, create safer environments and help people live well with food allergies.
Edwin Kim, MD MS accepted to the Academy of Educators
Membership in the Academy of Educators is a recognition of teaching excellence and dedication to the education mission of the School of Medicine.
Congratulations to Dr. Kim!
Richard Loeser, MD receives the OARSI Basic Science Research Award
Dr. Mary Goldring (left) nominated and introduced Dr. Loeser (center) and Dr. Virginia Kraus (right) is the President of OARSI and presented the award.
On April 24, Dr. Loeser received the Basic Science Research Award from the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) World Congress in Paris, France.

This research has primarily been conducted within the last five years.
Dr. Jordan quoted in glucosamine study published by MedPage Today
Dr. Richard Loeser joins our team as the Director of Basic and Translational Research
We are extremely pleased to announce that Richard Loeser, MD, joined the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology and the Thurston Arthritis Research Center on Monday, March 3, 2014. Dr. Loeser is a rheumatologist and was previously the Dorothy Rhyne and Willard Duke Kimbrell Professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, where he also served as Section Head of Molecular Medicine.
Upon his arrival at the Thurston Arthritis Research Center, Dr. Loeser was awarded the Herman and Louise Smith Distinguished Professor of Medicine and appointed as the Director of Basic and Translational Research. He will be an active partner in our mission to serve patients, lead and conduct research, and mentor trainees in our Division and the Department of Medicine.
Once settled at UNC, Dr. Loeser will recruit three additional basic and translational research faculty members to the Thurston Arthritis Research Center. We are fortunate that he brought several valuable colleagues with him to Chapel Hill. Scott Wood, a post-doctoral student; Meredith Greene, a graduate student; and Y (Mary) Zhao and Kathryn Kelley, both laboratory technicians. Dr. Loeser, his faculty recruits and all associated staff and students will be housed on the fourth floor of the Thurston Building.
Dr. Loeser's translational research interests include osteoarthritis, aging, inflammatory diseases, and cell signaling. His laboratory has studied the basic biology of healthy cartilage cells in joints for over 20 years, was the first to describe certain types of cell receptors, and has published over 100 original manuscripts on these topics, among others. Dr. Loeser is the Principle Investigator on multiple, currently-funded NIH grants studying cell signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms involved in the development of osteoarthritis. Dr. Loeser looks forward to active collaboration with multiple groups across the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, and the Gillings School of Global Public Health, including the Center on Aging, the Departments of Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Cell Biology and Physiology, Biomedical Engineering, and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
I hope you will join in our excitement in welcoming Dr. Loeser as his leadership will be transformative for our Division and our Center.

Dr. Mary Anne Dooley Retires
Dr. Mary Anne Dooley, Associate Professor of Medicine, is retiring from the UNC Health Care System at the end of February after 23 years of devoted service to our patients, our referring physicians, the UNC School of Medicine, and the people of North Carolina. She has cared for many of our patients over the years, especially those with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), vasculitis, and other autoimmune conditions. In addition to patient care, Dr. Dooley and her research team have led many clinical trials to find better and more advanced treatment options for autoimmune conditions, particularly for lupus and lupus nephritis.
Dr. Dooley received her medical education here at UNC, where she held the prestigious Holderness Fellowship, and also completed a Masters degree in Public Health. She then completed her internship, residency and chief residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Massachusetts before returning to North Carolina for a fellowship in Rheumatology and Immunology at Duke University Medical Center.
She joined the faculty at UNC in Rheumatology and Immunology in 1991 and has had an impressive career here, wearing many hats in the Division and in the UNC Thurston Arthritis Research Center. She expanded the Sanford Rheumatology Outreach Clinic and served as Clinic Director for our UNC Rheumatology Clinic for many years, launching and overseeing a huge expansion in our Infusion Clinic. She also served as Acting Division Chief of the Division for four years.
Dr. Dooley is an internationally recognized expert and has been a vital contributor to, and leader in, many national and international lupus initiatives, including the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) and the Lupus Clinical Trials Consortium. Her seminal paper in Kidney International in 1997 was one of the first to cast doubt on the efficacy of cyclophosphamide for lupus nephritis in African Americans in the South. Most recently, her paper in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2011 detailed the superiority of mycophenolate mofetil over azathioprine in maintaining remission in lupus nephritis.
Dr. Dooley has taught countless medical students, residents, and Rheumatology and Nephrology fellows, and cared for hundreds on patients with SLE. We deeply appreciate the contributions Dr. Dooley has made to our Division and Center. We are grateful that we have had the opportunity to provide exceptional medical care to all of our patients and look forward to continuing to care for all of Dr. Dooley's patients in the future.
Please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Tammy Bradsher, Administrative Support Supervisor, Rheumatology Clinic, at telephone number (919) 957-6554, if you have any questions.
Please join us in thanking Dr. Dooley for her many years of service and wishing her the very best in the future.

Fairfax, VA --- Showing his fearless courage and trademark heart, Jimmy Lange scored an eight-round TKO of Fontaine Cabell in their highly-anticipated rematch to capture the previously vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas 154-pound title in front of 4,382 jubilant hometown fans at the Patriot Center on Saturday night.
Unlike their first match, held in Fairfax last December, Lange and Cabell went toe-to-toe from the opening bell with the local favorite jumping in front and winning round one. However, Cabell, a Staten Island, NY, native now residing in Orlando, FL, employed the same attacking-strategy and didnt back down from the Lange onslaught and launched his own flurry of jabs and counters that often rocked Lange over the next few rounds.
Despite some visual bruising to Langes face, the season one Contender star continued his relentless pursuit and seemed to take control in the sixth round after Cabell absorbed a barrage of body punches throughout the first five rounds. With a renewed confidence, Lange went to work in the seventh round, connecting with a shower of devastating body blows and solid jabs that led to a knockdown. Seizing the moment, Lange stormed out of his corner in the eighth round to continue his assault on the visibly shaken Cabell until referee Joe Cooper stepped in and stopped the fight at 0:55.
The championship victory improved Langes record to 28-3-2, 20 KOs, while Cabell fell to 21-7-2, 16 KOs.
The remainder of the seven-bout card proved to be equally exciting with a solid mix of veterans and prospects putting on a great show. In the Co-Main Event, Detroit southpaw Damian Fuller (28-4-1, 13 KOs) looked world-class in dispatching of Smithsburg, MDs Dean Pit Bull White (14-7-1, 7 KOs), ending Whites evening in the third round with a technical knockout.
The evenings first fight didnt last long, but was exciting while it lasted. Arlington, VAs Bayanmunkh Bayanjargal (2-0, 2 KOs) utilized some impressive punching power to record a first-round TKO of Shane Gierkie (2-12, 2 KOs) of Cuyahoga Falls, OH.
Despite not having a professional fight among the two of them, Arlingtons Tracey Brewer (1-0) and Alexandrias Tim Schahe (0-1) delighted the crowd by waging a back-and-fourth slugfest, reminiscent of two veterans. At the end of four rounds, Brewer emerged victorious on all scorecards, and both fighters earned the fans respect for their explosive performance.
Damon Antoine (5-13-1, 3 KOs) of Akron, Ohio, jumped all over Irish Mike Carrigan (3-1, 3 KOs) early and often in their scheduled four-round contest, handing the Vienna, VA fighter his first loss with a second-round knockout.
Former world champion William King KO Guthrie (35-4-3, 28 KOs) of St. Louis, MO escaped with a draw in an evenly matched six-round contest against Gentleman James Johnson (20-29-2, 11 KOs), while Philadelphias Lenny De Victoria (9-8, 2 KOs) pounded his way to a win against Jason Jordan (3-9-2).
Jackie First Lady of Boxing Kallen, best known for her role on The Contender and for managing former world champion James Toney, promoted the show through ICE Promotions and veteran JD Brown served as matchmaker for the card.

Hello Designers, Which is the site you prefer for submitting any free design resources (psd) that gets good traffic ??
I usually put them on deviantART
i tried deviant art, didn't get much popularity… im thinking of making my own website and then share those through my facebook
Great post idea I guess.
New ideas for submitting my own freebies?
Adobe exchange / marketplace changed recently, but it may still be a good place to post freebies. Also creattica used to have a freebies section, don't know if it still does.
I recently found 365psd.com .. any experiences?
It would be great if there was such a free category on the graphicriver, where the authors would upload their work for free.
Sorry for my bad english.

Fangraphs just published an interesting comparison of Dnun & Bruce and the relationship between the angles of their swing and the location of pitches.
It's really fascinating stuff. Obviously it's only a start of the analysis, but this kind of data will really add to the collective understanding of why hitters produce they way they do.

Sometimes, in the aftermath of a tragic car accident, it is discovered that one of the vehicles involved in the accident was carrying little or no automobile insurance. When that happens, automobile passengers injured in the accident can sometimes seek to recover underinsured-motorist proceeds from their own insurer in order to receive sufficient compensation for their injuries.
In Columbia Mutual Insurance Company v. Herrin, No. 5–10–0037, the Appellate Court of Illinois was faced with that situation and was tasked with assessing the amounts of underinsured-motorist proceeds that each person injured in an accident could recover from their respective insurance company.
The automobile accident in this case wasven by one of the boy's mothers when they were hit by a truck after the driver of the truck failed to stop at an intersection. One of the teenage boys was killed and the other 3 people in the car were seriously injured.

BASE pleasures
Matthew Lickona 1:30 p.m., May 27
Scum in orbit. Visually monotonous, turgidly violent, inanely scripted, it concerns a 2079 revolt of convicts in space-ship prison, the President's abducted daughter (Maggie Grace) — who still looks great after taking a syringe in her eyeball — and a special agent (Guy Pearce) who keeps flipping zingers as his face is bashed.

10 Things You Didn't Know About The Movie Swingers
Today is the 15th anniversary of the movie that taught us all to be so money. Here are 10 things you may not have known about the '90s classic.
1. The "Bear" Monologue Was Something Vince Vaughn Actually Said To Jon Favreau In Real Life
2. The Famous Sega NHL '94 Scene Actually Features NHL '93
They refer to the removal of fighting, but later show a player bleeding on the ice. Both fighting and players bleeding were removed for the 1994 game.
3. The Word "Fuck" Is Used 95 Times
4. The Production Couldn't Pay Extras So All Party Scenes Were Actual Hollywood Parties
Screenwriters Mike White (The Good Girl and School of Rock) and Stephen Gaghan (Traffic and Syriana) can be seen at one of the parties.
5. Trent, Mikey, Sue, Rob, and Charles Each Represent A Different Member Of The Rat Pack
Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, and Sammy Davis Jr respectively.
6. The Movie Is Based On Jon Favreau's Experiences When He First Moved To LA
He had recently broken up with his girlfriend and needed his real life friends Vince Vaughn and Ron Livingston to talk him through his neuroses and cheer him up.
7. Director Doug Liman Had A Ton Of Interest From Studios Until He Insisted On Casting The Screenwriter And His Friends In The Leads
So Liman produced the film independently and Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, and company were never called "the screenwriter and his friends" again.
8. Vince Vaughn Got His Role In Jurassic Park: The Lost World Because Spielberg Had Seen Him In An Early Cut Of Swingers
When the production was trying to get permission to use the Jaws score in one scene.
9. Mikey's Apartment In The Movie Was Jon Favreau's Actual Apartment
Adam Scott was his downstairs neighbor.

SHE died in 1951, but her cells live on around the world. Now a storm has erupted over access to her genome.
HeLa cells, taken without consent from cervical cancer tissue from a US woman called Henrietta Lacks, are among the world's most studied human cell lines. Last month a team at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, published the HeLa genome but neglected to inform or ask Lacks's family members. Not surprisingly, they objected, arguing that it reveals their genetic traits.
EMBL has withdrawn the data and apologised to the family. The team acknowledges that the genome of the cancer cells could be used to make predictions about Henrietta Lacks's genome and those of her descendants. But they point out that the cancer tissue is genetically different, limiting what can be deciphered about the genetic make-up of Lacks and her relatives.

U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman officially leaves his post Saturday as the country's top diplomat in China -- a move that clears the way for a likely bid to unseat his former boss, President Obama, during the presidential election in 2012.
Huntsman, a Republican, has been coy about his presidential ambitions, saying publicly that he is "loyal to our country and our president."
But friends and colleagues say the former two-term governor of Utah seriously is considering making a run, and already has the fundamentals of a campaign operation in place to prove it.
Huntsman, 51, will make a splash back into national politics Saturday night with his expected attendance at the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner in Washington, D.C.
He also has planned visits next month to early the campaign states of South Carolina and New Hampshire, where supporters have created the nuclei of campaign teams to begin raising funds and lining up supporters and endorsements for Huntsman's political action committee, Horizon PAC.
Veteran political hand Peter Spaulding, who served as New Hampshire chairman for Sen. John McCain's 2000 presidential bid, is orchestrating the Huntsman effort there, scheduling meetings between the former ambassador and political movers and shakers and, perhaps, a local event or two with likely primary voters.
"New Hampshire has a history of retail politics, and if Gov. Huntsman is a candidate, we expect that he will make every effort to visit as many towns and talk to as many residents of New Hampshire as humanly possible," Spaulding said in an interview with ABC News.
Huntsman will become "almost a resident of New Hampshire" once he is an officially-announced candidate, Spaulding said, which could happen as soon as May 21, when Huntsman delivers a scheduled commencement address at Southern New Hampshire University.
Huntsman would join a wide-open field of prospective Republican presidential nominees and his youth and unique political stripes could shake up the early race.
Unlike other leading contenders, Huntsman has extensive foreign policy experience and socially moderate views.
He has worked in the administrations of the last four presidents, serving as a staff assistant to Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush's ambassador to Singapore and George W. Bush's deputy trade ambassador. He has served as Obama's ambassador to China since August 2009.
Huntsman opposes abortion, but supports same-sex civil unions. His gubernatorial record reflects a commitment to fiscal conservatism, but he also has publicly supported the Obama administration's economic stimulus plan and its effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through cap-and-trade.
Still, Huntsman may have strong appeal within the business community as a former executive in his family's company, Huntsman Corp., the world's largest chemical company. He also has significant personal fortune -- valued at between $11 million and $74 million, according to a 2009 financial disclosure form -- which could aid his bid. His father, Jon Huntsman, Sr., is a billionaire.
Upon entering the race, however, Huntsman would need to overcome virtual obscurity among the national Republican electorate, and ease likely concerns over his ties to President Obama.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals sign CB Jerraud Powers
The Arizona Cardinals have signed cornerback Jerraud Powers, and they did so in part because head coach Bruce Arians was not ready to let the player leave town to go and visit the San Diego Chargers.
"He sat there and said 'You're not leaving this building without a red pen in your hand,'" Powers said at his introductory press conference Wednesday. "That's just the type of guy B.A. is.
"He's going try to do whatever it takes to make this team better and make the right decisions."
Powers admitted to feeling a little bad about never making it to San Diego, but said the Cardinals' offer was one he couldn't turn down because Arizona is a good fit for him.
And the Cardinals are certainly happy to have him.
"Jerraud turned our season around last year with an interception to open the second half at Green Bay and that's the kind of impact player he is," said Cardinals coach Bruce Arians in a press release. "He's a tough, physical defender who's also one of the smartest players I've been around. Here's how valuable he was to us: after we put him on IR at the end of last year (with a toe injury) we still brought him to every single game not only because of his leadership but especially the insight he brought watching from the coaches booth."
Powers had spent his entire four-year career with the Indianapolis Colts, where he has amassed 210 combined tackles and six interceptions.
In 2012 he tallied 40 tackles -- 33 of which were solo -- along with one interception and eight passes defensed.
At 5-foot-10 and 197 pounds, Powers is not the biggest of corners, but has good speed and a familiarity with new Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, who impressed him last season in Indianapolis.
Powers said he feels like he's joining what is already a good defense that he said was much better than the team's record would indicate.
"I think this defense can be even better than it was last year, even though I know, in my opinion, I thought the defense was pretty darn good last year."
It was reported Wednesday that the team planned on meeting with Chargers cornerback Antoine Cason, and there's no word on whether or not the addition of Powers will change that.

BEAUMONT - Statement from BISD
Veteran educator James Broussard has announced his retirement effective Feb. 15. Broussard is principal of Ozen High Magnet School for the Arts. With more than 35 years in education, Broussard's experience ranges from his first day in 1977 as a teacher and coach at Odom Middle School. Over the years, he advanced to positions ranging from teaching and coaching at Marshall Middle School and West Brook High to management at the transportation department and assistant principal and principal at Martin Elementary School. He was appointed principal at Ozen in 2004.
"Working for BISD has been wonderful," said Broussard. Ozen is one of the unique schools in the state featuring training in the arts that range from music and drama to the internationally award winning video technology program. Ozen has about 200 employees and 1,150 students. Broussard said he is thankful to parents and the community for all the many years they entrusted their children to his care and tutelage. My greatest pleasures in the nearly four decades of education have been the phenomenal children, my students. "Investing in them continues to be the gift that keeps on giving," he added.
"With seven grandchildren, my hands will be full during my retirement. Spending more time with family will be the best part. There will be a lot of hunting and fishing, too," Broussard said. Another special activity planned for his retirement future will be volunteering to help senior citizens in home repairs since Broussard also considers himself a pretty good carpenter.
Dr. Timothy Chargois said he is "Appreciative of the work Broussard has done over the years in education here at BISD. He has impacted the educational growth of tens of thousands of students. For me, that means he has impacted more than a community, as educators are known for doing, he has impacted the world. I wish him well in his retirement."

School Could Ring in Later
By Jess Davis, The Brunswick News, Ga.
Jun. 19–Glynn County schools would start later in August 2009 if the state superintendent of schools gets her way.
Kathy Cox wants schools across the state to push back starting dates to late August.
The move would allow the state to set a uniform testing date at the end of summer school, allowing scores of students who failed in spring, but passed in summer, count toward a school's adequate yearly progress rating.
Glynn County Schools Superintendent Michael Bull said he heard about the proposal, but doesn't know if anything will come of it.
"It's premature," he said. "It's not something I'm actively concerned about right now."
Bull said he would support the idea if it happened across the state. Allowing summer test scores to count toward AYP would "boost everybody in the state," he said, including Glynn County schools.
This year, there may be as many as six public schools in Glynn County that fail to make AYP.
Bull is not the only one in the school system who tends to favor the idea.
"I'm all for it," said school board member Lance Turpin.
Turpin said the community has wanted a later starting date for a long time, but couldn't push it back too far because of when standardized testing occurred. If the state moves tests, the schools can start later, he said.
School board member Dave Smith said he wants to hear more about the plan. He and other school board members will get that chance this weekend at the annual Georgia School Boards Association meeting in Savannah, where Cox will present the proposal Friday.
Smith said he would support the move, though only if implemented for academic reasons.
The school board typically sets the school calendar in January, Smith said. This year, the new school term will begin Aug. 13.
The possible push-back is welcome news to state legislators and tourism officials who have long advocated a later starting date for schools.
Proponents include House Majority Leader Jerry Keen, R-St. Simons Island, who had tried unsuccessfully to pass a uniform late-August school starting date in the Georgia General Assembly.
"Our school calendar doesn't allow students to work all summer," Keen said. Keen said the move would be good for students who want to work and good for businesses. Tourists from other areas of the state would have a few more weeks of summer to visit and businesses that rely on student help wouldn't suffer a labor shortage.
Also interested in the proposal is Eric Garvey, senior marketing director for the Jekyll Island Authority, which employs a legion of youths during the summer vacation months.
"It's a very encouraging development," Garvey said.
When Georgia schools start earlier, fewer people visit the Golden Isles, Garvey said. He said only half the hotel rooms on Jekyll Island are filled in August, but when school started later, almost three quarters of the rooms were occupied.
That decline hasn't been accompanied by an increase in visitors in May or early June, when schools are out, he said.
The island's Summer Waves water park also loses money because of early school starts, he said. Many of the park's workers are high school students and without them the park must operate on limited hours in August.
"It would be very encouraging for us" if schools start later, he said. "But the quality of education takes priority over tourism and leisure."

No one knows what causes someone to take a gun and start shooting people. No one ever will. Every time there is a mass shooting, news reporters dig into the personal history of the murderer, as if something in the biography will provide a clue. It never does. Mental illness, abusive childhoods, collapsed relationships, setbacks at school or work, and any number of other factors often are found, but none provides the answer. Hundreds of millions of people have suffered from mental illness, abusive childhoods, collapsed relationships, setbacks at school or work, and every other form of stress or trauma without deciding to kill people. Why do these individuals become killers? Bob Geldof's answer remains the best explanation, because there is no explanation.
And the silicon chip inside her head
Got switched to overload
The one thing all mass shooters have in common is guns. That's it. Mental illness, abusive childhoods, collapsed relationships, setbacks at school or work, and every other form of stress or trauma take place in every nation in the world, but of all the developed democracies only in the United States do we have more than 10,000 gun-related deaths each year. Every other developed democracy has some form of effective gun control. The United States doesn't. Those looking for other explanations have reasons for looking for other explanations. People in the other developed democracies watch the same movies and play the same video games, but they don't shoot each other at anything even approaching the rate that Americans do. It's about guns. When that silicon chip inside the head of people in other developed democracies gets switched to overload, they can't just go grab a gun and start shooting. People in the United States can.
(Continue reading below the fold.)
We will have effective gun control in this country. Maybe it finally will come in the aftermath of the latest shooting massacre, and maybe this time we still will get only partial and inadequate measures, and maybe it will take more shooting massacres, but it will happen. It is inevitable. The tide of history shows that as nations develop and democratize they also come to regulate guns, and their incidents of gun violence dramatically diminish. We are an anomaly in that we don't have effective gun regulation, but we are not an anomaly in that when we do have effective gun regulation we will enjoy the same results enjoyed by those nations that already have it. This country will catch up to the rest of the developed democratic world. It is only a matter of time and needlessly lost lives.
The Second Amendment is an excuse. The Second does not say what those who cling to it want it to say, and only in the last few years have any courts interpreted as saying what those who cling to it want it to say. Courts are political, and judges mostly appointed by right-wing Republicans have interpreted the Second in unprecedented ways, but that's how our judiciary works. Political pendulums swing, and for now they have swung in one direction, but it is inevitable that they eventually will swing in the other direction. One way or another future courts will rule differently, and the Second Amendment no longer will be available to block effective gun regulation. History is on the side of gun control advocates. It is only a matter of time and needlessly lost lives.
I've never been a fan of Original Intent, and however people want to interpret the meaning of the Second, and the meaning of well regulated and the meaning of Militia and the meaning of Security of a free State and the meaning of infringed, the original intent of the framers of the Constitution ultimately is irrelevant. This is about us, not them. The framers could not have imagined the destructive power of modern arms and they also could not have imagined the destructive power of modern armaments. But more importantly, the framers lived in an era that in so many ways to us now seems not only archaic but barbaric. Some of the framers were monarchists. Some were openly racist slave-owners. None seemed to think that women should be allowed to participate in governance. We the People was an exclusive club that excluded a good many and perhaps even a majority of the people. Constitutional literalism is only marginally more relevant to the modern world than is Biblical literalism. We have to define what sort of nation we want based on modern values and modern realities not on the values and realities of some smart but profoundly flawed men who lived more than two centuries ago. We will catch up with the rest of the developed democratic world. It is only a matter of time and needlessly lost lives.
The grief over the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, has been emotionally overwhelming to millions of people who live nowhere near and know no one who lives anywhere near Newtown, Connecticut. And yet, something like this latest massacre was inevitable. Just days before, a jammed gun prevented what almost certainly would have been another massacre, at a shopping mall, near Portland, Oregon. And even despite that unlikely good luck, two people who were out innocently holiday shopping were shot dead, and a third— a teenaged girl— was seriously wounded. And every day, all across this nation, innocent people are shot dead, because they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, their lives as precious as every vicitim of Newtown, and their deaths as devastating to those who knew and loved them as every death in Newtown. The excuses don't fly. Guns don't kill people, but people with guns do. At a rate that had stunned us into numbness but now or eventually will stun us into consciousness. It's the guns. It cannot continue, and it won't continue. It is only a matter of time and needlessly lost lives.
The demographics of gun ownership are changing. This is a fact. Gun owners are more likely to be Republican than Democrat, and the Republican Party is an increasingly marginalized demographic. Gun ownership is decreasing, even as the number of guns in circulation is increasing, which means that a smaller number of people is owning a greater number of guns. That is not politically sustainable. The most rapidly growing demographic groups are less likely to own guns and more supportive of gun control. History is moving forward and it is and always has been only a matter of time until the politics catches up. The current trend among conservative judges is the death throes, just as the Republican Party's occasional political successes are but death throes. It is only a matter of time and needlessly lost lives.
There are hunters in nations that have strict gun control. The vast majority of medal winners in shooting events at the 2012 Summer Olympics were from nations that have strict gun control, and the country that ranked first on the medal table has among the most strict. There is no reason that responsible gun owners need fear strict gun control. It will be a hassle for them, and there will be more and higher hoops for them to jump through in order to enjoy their firearms passion, but when gun sales soar in the aftermath of the Newtown horror, and even after President Obama's reelection, it does not inspire confidence in the values, judgment or even basic human decency of a certain cohort of this nation's gun owners.
We will have gun control in this country. History, demographics, and the accumulated and accumulating evidence that it works elsewhere make it inevitable. The accumulated evidence that our archaic lack of gun control does not work also makes it inevitable. The political pendulum will swing, as it already is swinging, and courts and legislatures inevitably will follow public sentiment. It is only a matter of time and needlessly lost lives. How far that pendulum swings also is a matter of time and needlessly lost lives. Because the worse things get, the more people are massacred, the more people are killed in the less headline-grabbing daily accumulation of gun-related violent abominations, the farther that pendulum will swing. Those who fight against effective gun control will, in the end, have done more to assure the more severity of gun control, when gun control inevitably happens, than all the consistent gun control advocates put together. Because gun control will happen in this country. It will be effective. It will work as it works in every other developed democracy. It is only a matter of time and needlessly lost lives.
