Bellemeade Park shooting victim declared dead
Dust Bowl now scene of two killings
Dewayne Thomas, the 35-year-old Evansville man who was shot Thursday night at a near-Downtown basketball tournament, was declared dead Friday, according to Vanderburgh County Coroner Annie Groves.
Thomas is an organ donor, and artificial means were being used Friday afternoon to keep his heart beating until his organs could be removed for transplantation. He was declared brain-dead at 11:50 a.m. Friday, Groves said.
According to police, Thomas was attending the Dust Bowl tournament at Bellemeade Park Thursday around 10:30 p.m. when five to seven gunshots rang out.
Police ran in the direction of the shots and found Thomas lying face down near a playground set, with blood coming from his head.
He was rushed to St. Mary's Medical Center, and detectives used witness accounts to search for and arrest Raymond Gray, 21, of Evansville.
Gray confessed to shooting Thomas, police said, and is in Vanderburgh County Jail awaiting a bond hearing. He faces preliminary charges of attempted murder and criminal recklessness.
Witnesses and people who live in the neighborhood said Friday that issues have a history of occurring at the Dust Bowl event.
"I don't allow my (grandchildren) to go," said Zelma Hall, 60, of Evansville.
"They just got back from football (Thursday evening), and they asked me, and that's what I told them. Then it wasn't long before we heard the shots."
Thomas is the second person to die from shots fired at the Dust Bowl. Sidney D. Parker, 25, was killed in this same area after a basketball tournament in August 1997.
Denise Thomas, 33, of Evansville, who said she wasn't familiar with Dewayne Thomas, said she last attended the Dust Bowl in high school.
"It's trouble; it's just trouble," she said.
Denise Thomas, as well as other witnesses that night, indicated that this scale of violence doesn't happen at every Dust Bowl.
"It's not all the time, just sometimes," said DeShay James, 15, of Evansville.
Brian Copeland, the director of the annual Dust Bowl, could not be reached for comment.
It remained unclear Friday what prompted Thursday night's shooting. Some people who attended the basketball game said there was a verbal altercation and that Gray returned with a gun and shot Thomas several times.
Police apprehended Gray quickly, compared with the 1997 shooting, in which most witnesses chose to remain quiet.
In thisinstance, police got help from the Rev. Marcus Watkins, pastor of Line Street Church of Christ, which Gray attended occasionally.
A detective called Watkins around 11 p.m. Thursday to help identify the man detectives believed was the prime suspect, Watkins said.
Watkins helped, and police established surveillance of Gray's Lincoln Avenue residence and observed three vehicles leave. In one, a gray Chevrolet Tahoe, they found Watkins and Gray.
Watkins said he had just finished persuading Gray to turn himself in and was headed to church to pray with Gray in a peaceful environment before taking him to police.
Watkins said escape was not a motive.
"It really wouldn't make any sense for me to help them find him and then try to help him get away," he said.
Watkins didn't ask Gray what transpired and mostly encouraged him to turn himself in. Watkins said Gray's demeanor was solemn and serious.
Watkins said he helped because he knew Gray had children, and he didn't want the problem to escalate.
"I was trying to cause a peaceful end to a tragic situation," Watkins said.

Thanks for joining me tonight. Report and reaction to follow.
Germany will meet Argentina in the World Cup final at the Maracana on Sunday night. On the Saturday, Brazil face Holland in the third-fourth place playoff.
Full-time in Sao Paulo: Holland 0 Argentina 0 AET. Argentina win 4-2 on penalties.
MAXI SCORES! He blasts it, Cillessen gets his hands to the ball but can't keep it out - and that wins the shootout 4-2 for Argentina.
Maxi Rodriguez to win it...
KUYT SCORES! He puts it low to Romero's left and in. Holland 2 Argentina 3.
Kuyt must score to keep Holland in the World Cup...
AGUERO SCORES! The Man City striker slides it home low. Holland 1 Argentina 3.
Aguero to put Argentina into a two-goal shootout lead...
PENALTY SAVED! Romero dives full stretch to his right to keep out Sneijder's effort. Holland 1 Argentina 2.
Sneijder now for the Dutch...
GARAY SCORES! He smashes the ball past Cillessen. Holland 1 Argentina 2.
Garay will try to keep Argentina's advantage...
ROBBEN SCORES! Low to Romero's left. Holland 1 Argentina 1.
Robben next...
MESSI SCORES! He coolly sends the ball to Cillessen's right, the Dutch keeper going the wrong way. Holland 0 Argentina 1.
Messi next, against Cillessen...
PENALTY SAVED! Romero goes left to keep out Vlaar's spot-kick. Holland 0 Argentina 0.
Holland will go first, with Vlaar up against Romero...
A quick glance at Sabella's clipboard shows the Argentina penalty order is Messi, Garay, Aguero, Maxi and Biglia. Cillessen has never saved a penalty in his professional career.
Full-time in extra-time: Holland 0 Argentina 0 AET. It's penalties for a place in the World Cup final against Germany at the Maracana on Sunday.
Rojo skips over a pass from Kuyt that was meant fro Wijnaldum.
One added minute to be played.
Janmaat crosses low from the right and Kuyt is able to get a shot away but it's deflected away from goal.
Mascherano, who has probably been Argentina's best player, tackles Robben on the left once more.
Messi scampers down the right past Vlaar and gets to the byline, and then crosses for Maxi Rodriguez to take a shot - but he sidefoots the ball into the turf and Cillessen can claim it.
Palacio is presented with as clear a chance as we've seen all night but he heads into the grateful hands of Cillessen after the ball was lifted over the Dutch defence by Maxi Rodriguez.
Holland are seeing a little more of the ball than Argentina but there's no urgency whatsoever from either side and penalties appear inevitable.
De Vrij tries a shot from long range but it bends wide of Romero's goal.
Zabaleta goes off the pitch to change his shirt. He's chewing on a big lump of cotton wool at the moment.
Zabaleta is still down and receiving treatment.
After Cillessen tricks Aguero, the robust Kuyt jumps in to win the ball ahead of Zabaleta - but lays out the Argentinian as his shoulder connected with his jaw.
Holland get the second period of extra-time underway.
Half-time in extra-time: Holland 0 Argentina 0.
Palacio curls a cross in from the right over the head of De Vrij and towards Aguero, but Janmaat puts the ball behind for a corner.
One added minute to be played in the first half of extra-time.
YELLOW CARD! Huntelaar is booked for bringing down Mascherano (105).
Robben is furious with the Turkish referee as he feels he deserved a free-kick.
So it's former Liverpool man Maxi - who played against the Dutch at World Cup 2006 - who comes on, but not for Messi.
Final change for Argentina - Maxi Rodriguez ON, Lavezzi OFF (101).
Vlaar, who has had an excellent game, steps across to prevent Biglia sliding a ball in from the right.
Romero gets down to gather in a powerful shot from Robben, who had stepped inside Biglia. Holland's first shot on target.
Could Sabella be considering taking off Messi? He's having less and less of an impact as the game goes on.
Sneijder crosses from the left but again, it's overhit.
Robben slips through a gap on the left side of the area and Mascherano has to put the ball behind for a corner. Sneijder sends in the set piece and it deflects off an Argentina player for a throw on the right.
Last change for Holland - Huntelaar ON, van Persie OFF. Robben takes the captain's armband (96).
Holland yet to get a shot on target from four attempts (three off target, one blocked). Argentina have got two of their six shots on target.
Looks like Huntelaar could be about to come on, so no Krul factor for a potential penalty shootout if so.
On email, Yinkore says "Holland will win on penalties" while Karal Adnan Bhatti writes "I think the deadlock will surely be broken in extra time and the Netherlands seem more likely to do it." Reece Barnes adds: "Might as well get Tim Krul ready, this is going to penalties! #KrulTime"
Extra-time is underway.
Sky Bet's odds are now 11/10 on Holland to qualify, and 4/6 on Argentina. Holland to win in extra-time is 4/1, and Argentina are 9/4 to triumph without the need for penalties.
End of normal time: Holland 0 Argentina 0. We're going to have 30 mins of extra-time. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet me at @jonboy79 with any quick thoughts.
Janmaat is just offside on the right flank as Wijnaldum tries to slip him into space.
Zabaleta heads the set piece away and then Romero punches the cross in from the left away.
Sneijder's clever backheel lay-off puts Robben into the area as Demichelis is wrong-footed. But Mascherano's concentration and pace is superb and he is able to get in a crucial block. Corner.
Three minutes of added-on time.
Holland are still edging possession and they're keeping the ball well in these final stages.
Argentina get a glimpse of goal as Messi plays Aguero in on the right side of the box but Vlaar gets across to intercept.
Rojo stoops to nod the corner away and then Clasie sends a shot wide.
Demichelis concedes a corner after tackling the sprinting Robben on the left.
Aguero is penalised for knocking the ball out of Cillessen's hands after the goalkeeper had saved from Rojo.
Romero comfortably claims Robben's cross from the left.
First substitutions for Argentina - Palacio and Aguero ON, Enzo Perez and Higuain OFF.
Rojo comes across to clear just when it looks like the ball might run into Robben's path.
Blind wins a free-kick in the left channel. A chance for Sneijder to whip the ball in... but a hopeless delivery loops high and out. Awful.
For a moment, some of the crowd think they've seen a goal - but Higuain's effort is actually into the side netting after Perez's ball in from the right. Again, the offside flag was up anyway. Replays show it was a tight call.
Van Persie's flagged offside, rightly, as Janmaat crosses in. The delivery was behind the Manchester United striker in any case.
... and that's overhit and out of play. From Messi. Even the very best is struggling out there tonight.
Vlaar stumbles and then throws his body in front of Higuain to prevent a cross coming in from the right. Free-kick to Argentina on the touchline. Messi will take...
Lavezzi's shot is blocked after Rojo found him with a pass.
Janmaat is OK to continue. Only that half-chance for Higuian from Lavezzi's cross and the Sneijder free-kick over the bar as serious goal threats in this second half.
Garay heads away Kuyt's cross in from the left flank. Janmaat goes down after a clash of heads with Rojo, having sparked off the initial attack.
Clasie's introduction marks a noticeable step up in Holland's attacking intent, at least for a few minutes.
Biglia is clutching his arm but he gets to his feet and jogs off the pitch for further treatment. He's then waved back on.
Second change for Holland - Clasie ON, De Jong OFF (62).
Biglia and Janmaat slide in for the ball on the edge of the area, and the Argentinian comes off worse. He needs treatment and the stretcher is brought on too.
Zabaleta releases Lavezzi down the right, and the latter's ball in is directed for Higuain - but Janmaat does enough to prevent a clear attempt on goal.
An excellent tackle by Vlaar to take the ball away from Messi 20 yards out.
Good work by Biglia to win the ball back as Robben attacked Demichelis. That's beginning to look like an interesting contest, following the booking for the Argentinian.
Holland now lead on possession overall but that's about all there is to report in the early stages of this second half.
Sneijder's free-kick is high of Romero's goal.
YELLOW CARD! Demichelis pulls back Robben who had received a ball in from Kuyt on the left. First caution for Argentina (49).
Garay's lost his boot somehow and needs a moment to get it back on before play can resume.
De Vrij bodychecks Perez and Argentina get a free-kick on the left, which they play short.
Holland kick off the second half. Kuyt moves across to the left as a result of Janmaat's introduction.
Sabella is continuing his instructions to his Argentina players in the tunnel before they emerge for the second half. Underway again shortly.
First change for the Dutch - Janmaat ON, Martins Indi OFF.
As established earlier, the Dutch have rarely scored in the first half of games in this tournament. They're back out and making a change...
Half-time bet? Holland are now 5/2 to win within normal time with Sky Bet, while Argentina are 15/8 and the draw is 11/10.
On Twitter, we have Keith from Liverpool aka @krayze_keef: "looks like this game will come down to 1 moment of brilliance from either Messi or Robben." @bentheball says: "I think Messi will get a late goal and make it 1-0!"
Ben David writes: "Holland playing too slow, need to pick up the pace of the passing - but I'm confident they will still win." Michael J. from Montreal says: "Both teams have played cagey football for virtually the entire tournament. Not terribly attractive, although you can't fault the tidiness of the play. Credit to Cillessen for holding his own, a lesser keeper might have taken the whole Tim Krul saga to heart. Speaking of which, I wouldn't be surprised if this went to penalties."
Chris Green is back on the email: "I'm surprised to see the teams entering the dressing rooms on level terms as both keepers were tested quite frequently during the opening 45 minutes. Let's hope things liven up after the interval."
Some HT stats for you: Argentina lead possession by 52% to Holland's 48%. Messi's free-kick saved by Cillessen is the only shot on target thus far. Garay's header from a Lavezzi corner went over the bar, while Sneijder sent a potshot wide. That's your lot for attempts on goal so far. Argentina have had three corners to Holland's one. The Dutch have committed six fouls to the South Americans' four.
Half-time in Sao Paulo: Holland 0 Argentina 0. What did you make of the first 45 minutes? Argentina have been just about on top. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet me at @jonboy79.
A cross in from the left from Rojo is overhit.
Cillessen manages to gather the high ball in from the free-kick at the second attempt. Two minutes of added-on time.
YELLOW CARD! Martins Indi is the first player booked (45). The Dutchman tried to drag back Messi on the right. The Turkish referee has had enough of his infringements.
Demichelis heads down Sneijder's free-kick out of the area. The ball comes all the way back to Cillessen and Holland try to build from the back once more.
Argentina maintain possession but after De Vrij dispossesses Perez, it's Holland that win a free-kick.
The free-kick plan fails and Kuyt is able to rush in and clear. Sneijder is back on.
Martins Indi blocks off Messi on the right - free-kick to Argentina. Sneijder is still struggling after that bruising challenge from Demichelis. He hobbles off for treatment.
Vlaar slides in to clear Lavezzi's cross into the area from the right ahead of Higuain. Then Sneijder goes down in pain after a heavy tackle from Demichelis on the touchline.
Lavezzi is flagged offside on the Argentinian right after Messi tried to play him into space.
Romero punches the ball clear. As Sneijder's cross comes back in from the left and is headed down by De Vrij, the offside flag is raised against van Persie. TV replays suggest that was a bad decision from the linesman.
The Dutch win their first corner as Demichelis nicks the ball away from Robben.
Mascherano is back on the pitch after insisting he's fine to continue. De Vrij and Cillessen have a momentary mix up, but no damage done.
Mascherano falls to the turf after a clash of heads with Martins Indi. He gets some treatment on the pitch before walking groggily to the touchline.
Cillessen evades Higuain - just - as he clears the ball downfield and van Persie is almost onto a ball in from De Jong, but the chance runs away from him.
Garay goes for a brave diving header and connects - but the ball goes over the bar and the Argentina defender receives a boot to the head by Vlaar on the way down.
Garay coolly knocks the ball away after van Persie pulled the ball back looking for Kuyt. Argentina break and Lavezzi plays a cross in from the right. Eventually Vlaar puts Perez's pass behind for a third Argentina corner, to be taken by Lavezzi.
Argentina win another corner, Lavezzi off Martins Indi. Van Persie heads the ball away.
De Jong clears the low corner.
Argentina win the first corner of the night. Zabaleta escapes down the right and De Vrij has to stretch to nick the ball away from Higuain.
Perez sends a pass down the right for Higuain but Cillessen gets to the ball first. Slick surface has plenty of zip.
Messi's free-kick is hit with pace and flies through the wall but is held safely by Cillessen, who kept his eye on the ball.
Perez is clipped by Vlaar 22 yards out after a clever pass from Higuain. Messi will take the free-kick...
First serious attempt on goal as Sneijder tries a potshot from 25 yards out. The effort bounces and then goes wide of the left-hand post.
Argentina win a free-kick wide on the left as De Vrij muscles Lavezzi off the ball. Lavezzi's set piece is headed away by van Persie
Kuyt and Vlaar team up to dispossess Messi on the edge of the box after Argentina attacked down the right once more.
A spell of patient possession from Holland, who are glad to see the ball for a short while at least.
Zabaleta tackles Robben just outside the Argentina penalty box. The offside flag then goes up against the same Dutch player after a long pass from the right flank.
Perez can't work the ball out from under his feet on the edge of the area after good work by Higuain on the right.
Argentina enjoying almost all the possession in the first three minutes. Happy to pass the ball around the defence.
De Vrij and De Jong are both involved as Holland thwart an Argentina attack through the middle.
The crowd are in good voice early on here. De Vrij halts Lavezzi on the Argentinian left flank.
And we're off...
Argentina are yet to trail for a single minute of the 2014 World Cup. How will they react if Holland score first?
After the anthems, a minute's silence will be held in memory of the great Alfredo Di Stefano, who passed away on Monday at the age of 88. Argentina are wearing black armbands out of respect for the forward, who was born in Buenos Aires and won six caps for the national team before later representing Spain.
The teams are emerging from the tunnel and we're almost ready to go in Sao Paulo. Both sides are in their traditional kits - blue and white stripes and black shorts and socks for Argentina; orange shirts and socks for the Dutch, with white shorts.
It's been a rainy day in Sao Paulo and the temperature is about 18 degrees Celsius for tonight's game.
Chris Green on email: "The Argentina defence have been vulnerable on several occasions throughout this tournament, so they will need to tighten up this evening if they are to give themselves a chance of participating in a World Cup final for the first time since 1990. Prediction: Netherlands 1-3 Argentina, with Messi (2) and Higuain scoring the goals."
The last World Cup meeting between these two was at the 2006 tournament in Germany, but you'd be forgiven for forgetting it. It was a dreary 0-0 in Frankfurt to close out Group C after both teams had already qualified for the knockout stages. Sneijder, van Persie and Kuyt are survivors of that game for the Dutch; Mascherano and Messi for Argentina, although Maxi Rodriguez - a starter then - is a sub tonight.
We know Merson is backing Argentina, but what about Jamie Redknapp? Well, he's of a similar mind judging by his Sky Bet tips. Redders advises backing both teams to score in 90 mins at 10/11; Messi to net the first goal at 4/1; and Argentina to win 2-1 without the need for extra-time at 9/1.
Here's a tweet from Faisal Ahmed aka @fuzzyy99: "Such a hard game to call! But going for a 2-1 win to Holland, Robben and Messi scoring and RvP scoring a screamer in extra-time!"
Argentina's Lionel Messi is the man with the most completed dribbles in this tournament - 29 thus far. Messi has also created the most goalscoring chances in this World Cup: 19. Second on that completed dribbles list is Holland's Arjen Robben, tied on 25 with the injured Angel Di Maria.
Having Nigel De Jong back is surely a big boost to a Netherlands team that has looked over-protective of its defence since he limped off against Mexico in the last-16. It's a remarkable recovery from a groin injury that was set to rule him out of the rest of the tournament. No doubt he'll be watched closely by both coaches in the early stages to ascertain if he really is fully fit...
Jim McMillan on email expects a mismatch when Argentina go on the attack in Sao Paulo. He writes: "Ron Vlaar does a better job for Holland than he does for Villa but he is going to have a torrid time tonight against Messi. Hope he manages to get his shirt at the end!"
Fancy a Sky Bet Price Boost? Wesley Sneijder has been pushed out to 12/1 for the first goal, while Ezequiel Lavezzi is a 9/1 shot to notch the opener. Merson's prediction of 2-0 to Argentina is 12/1; the same scoreline in Holland's favour is 16/1.
Chris Ellams emails in to say: "I think this will be a tight game, I feel both sides are not great and will have their work cut out to beat Germany in the final. I'm almost certain both teams will score as I think both defences are a liability. 2-1 Argentina for me."
Holland's last four goals in this tournament have come after the 75th minute, and 10 of their 12 overall in Brazil have come after half-time. Can they make a faster start against Argentina tonight?
The referee at the 66,200-capacity Arena Corinthians tonight is Cuneyt Cakir from Turkey. The 37-year-old insurance agent took charge of the goalless draw between Brazil and Mexico and the 1-1 draw that saw Algeria eliminate Russia earlier in the tournament. He's better known to English fans as the ref who sent off Nani in Manchester United's 2-1 Champions League home defeat by Real Madrid at Old Trafford last March.
The bookies like the look of Argentina, with Sky Bet making them 6/4 favourites to win in 90 minutes. Holland are 21/10 and the draw is 11/5.
Hard one to call tonight. Jordan Green on email says: "If Messi's good, then Argentina will win. It'll be a close game. I'll go for 2-1 to Argentina." But Callum Giffen says: "I'm going for Holland tonight. I'm surprised by Argentina getting the favourites' tag. I feel they have not played anyone good yet and van Persie and Robben and co will be too much for this Argentinian defence. Maybe 3-2 Holland."
Argentina beat Holland 3-1 after extra-time in the 1978 World Cup final in Buenos Aires. That's their only win against the Netherlands in eight meetings overall (three draws, four defeats).
Our very own Paul Merson fancies Argentina to come out on top in this one, by a 2-0 scoreline: "Holland aren't very good at all and they can't keep getting away with it. They rely so much on Arjen Robben, it's unreal. Angel Di Maria will be a massive miss for Argenting but Gonzalo Higuain will be a totally different player to the one that started this tournament after scoring that unbelievable goal against Belgium and the game changer Messi will get them through."
So you've seen the two starting line-ups. Let me know your thoughts and your predictions too. Email me at email@example.com or tweet me at @jonboy79 and I'll use the best of your contributions throughout the night.
Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella makes two changes to the team that began the 1-0 win over Belgium in the last-eight encounter in Brasilia four days ago. Left-back Marcos Rojo returns from suspension and Enzo Perez starts in midfield. Angel Di Maria is out with a thigh injury and Jose Maria Basanta drops back to the bench, where Sergio Aguero will also begin the game.
Argentina team (4-3-1-2): Romero; Zabaleta, Demichelis, Garay, Rojo; Biglia, Mascherano, Enzo Perez; Messi (c); Higuain, Lavezzi.
Robin van Persie starts despite suffering a stomach bug in recent days, and Jasper Cillessen is preferred to Tim Krul in goal even though the latter was the penalty shootout hero when brought on in Salvador on Saturday.
So the big news there is that Holland coach Louis van Gaal makes just one change to the team that began the quarter-final against Costa Rica. Nigel de Jong has shaken off his groin injury and replaces Memphis Depay in the starting line-up.
Netherlands team (3-5-2): Cillessen; Vlaar, De Vrij, Martins Indi; Kuyt, Wijnaldum, Sneijder, De Jong, Blind; Robben, van Persie (c).
The team news is arriving as we head towards the 9pm kick-off (UK time)...
Welcome along to our live coverage of the second World Cup semi-final between the Netherlands and Argentina in Sao Paulo. The winners face Germany in the final on Sunday, the losers will meet Brazil in the third/fourth place play-off the night before.

Rutgers fires basketball coach over abuse, taunts
Thursday - 4/4/2013, 12:46pm EDT
AP Sports Writer
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) -- Once the video went viral, Mike Rice's coaching days at Rutgers were over.
Now the question is whether anyone else will lose their jobs -- including the athletic director who in December suspended and fined Rice for the abusive behavior, and the university president who signed off on it.
Rice was fired Wednesday, one day after a video surfaced of him hitting, shoving and berating his players with anti-gay slurs. The taunts were especially troubling behavior at Rutgers, where freshman student Tyler Clementi killed himself in 2010 after his roommate used a webcam to spy on him kissing another man in his dorm.
It also came at an especially embarrassing time for the NCAA, with the country focused on the Final Four basketball tournament this weekend.
Rice, in his third season with the Scarlet Knights, apologized outside his home in Little Silver, N.J.
"I've let so many people down: my players, my administration, Rutgers University, the fans, my family, who's sitting in their house just huddled around because of the fact their father was an embarrassment to them," he said. "I want to tell everybody who's believed in me that I'm deeply sorry for the pain and hardship that I've caused."
Athletic Director Tim Pernetti was given a copy of the tape by a former employee in November and, after an independent investigator was hired to review it, Rice was suspended for three games, fined $75,000 and ordered to attend anger management classes. University President Robert Barchi agreed to the penalty.
Pernetti initially said Tuesday he and Barchi viewed the video in December. The president issued a statement Wednesday, saying he didn't see it until Tuesday and then moved to fire the 44-year-old coach for repeated abusive conduct. Through a school spokesman, Pernetti backed up his president and said Barchi did not view the video until this week.
"Yesterday, I personally reviewed the video evidence, which shows a chronic and pervasive pattern of disturbing behavior," Barchi said in a statement. "I have now reached the conclusion that Coach Rice cannot continue to serve effectively in a position that demands the highest levels of leadership, responsibility and public accountability. He cannot continue to coach at Rutgers University."
Later Wednesday, 13 faculty members posted a letter on the internet to the school's trustees and Board of Governors demanding the resignation of Barchi. It says his handling of the "homophobic and misogynist abuse" was inexcusable.
The video shows numerous clips of Rice at practice during his three years at the school firing basketballs at players, hitting them in the back, legs, feet and shoulders. It also shows him grabbing players by their jerseys and yanking them around the court. Rice can also be heard yelling obscenities and using gay slurs.
Several college coaches said they had never seen anything like the Rutgers video and it broke a cardinal rule: Never put your hands on a player.
"Don't tell me that's the old way. That's the wrong way," said John Thompson Jr., the Hall of Famer who led Georgetown to the 1984 national title. Thompson, the father of current Hoyas coach John Thompson III, called the images "child abuse."
UConn women's coach Geno Auriemma, winner of seven national titles, said "there is no line that could be drawn that would make that behavior acceptable."
The most famous case of a coach accused of abusing a player is the one involving Bob Knight of Indiana. The university put him on a zero-tolerance policy in 2000 after an investigation into a former player's allegations that the coach had choked him during a practice. When a student alleged that Knight grabbed him later that year, Knight was fired. Knight, who now works for ESPN, couldn't be reached Wednesday.
The Rice video drew outrage on campus and all the way to the capital in Trenton, with lawmakers and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie supporting the firing at the state's flagship public university.
"This was a regrettable episode for the university, but I completely support the decision to remove Coach Rice," Christie said in a statement. "It was the right and necessary action to take in light of the conduct displayed on the videotape.
"Parents entrust their sons to the Rutgers athletic department and the men's basketball program at an incredibly formative period of their lives. The way these young men were treated by the head coach was completely unacceptable and violates the trust those parents put in Rutgers University. All of the student-athletes entrusted to our care deserve much better."

Several immune abnormalities – most notably natural killer cell dysfunction – have been identified in ME/CFS patients since the first person came down with a wrenching cold they never recovered from in the Incline Village outbreak over 25 years ago.
Several doctors regularly use antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs or supplements in their practices. Anecdotal reports of Ampligen's effectiveness abound and interest in immunomodulatory drugs has increased since the Rituximab findings and as researchers and doctors have been better able to pinpoint abnormalities in the immune system. Few studies, however, have been done.
- Famvir (famciclovir)
- Oxymatrine
- Valcyte (valganciclovir)
- Valtrex (valacyclovir)
- Vistide (cidofovir)
- Ampligen (Rintatolimod)
- Enbrel (Etanercept
- GcMaF (coming soon)
- Interferon

Great to find this site after struggling 15yrs with CFS and now Leukopenia which I realise now is connected to the two auto immune conditions i have (coeliac and Fibromyalgia) Thankyou !

Very good article. I sometimes use this page to explain to people what the potential meds are for people with M.E. Hope that's o.k. with you?
Here in The Netherlands research is very much behind (no serious research), but I am trying to change that. Thank you for the information!!
There is not so much unclear about M.E./cfs. Can't we combine the research that has been done and just declare:
M.E. is a neurological immune disease caused by one or several (viral) infections.
A clear statement will help us not having to explain ourselves, and being taken more seriously! What can we add to this definition?

I have been living with CFIDS for at least 27 years now. I am 52. Because of multiple cases of pneumonia and my low IGG and it's subclasses, my doctors started giving me injections(and occasional IV) immunoglobulins. I have been on this therapy, weekly, for 7+ years now. My doctor would give me a pneumococcal vaccine and check my immune response, before and after, for antibodies. The lack of antibodies confirmed my condition and the need for the treatments. I believe those shots/IV have saved my life several times now. I am grateful to be alive!

Inventor retires New Year's glasses
January 1, 2009
One of the inventors of New Year's Eve novelty glasses with numbers for eyeholes said the 2009 version was the last to be produced by his Seattle company.
Richard Sclafani, who thought up the idea for the glasses with friend Peter Cicero in 1990, said the idea took off and business peaked in the first double-zero year, 2000, when half a million pairs of the glasses were sold, the New York Post reported Thursday.
Sclafani said his company is discontinuing the glasses for reasons including falling business due to competitors and the aesthetic challenges of making a pair of glasses for 2010.
It doesn't look very good for 2010. You wind up with a '1′ in front of one of your eyes, Sclafani said.

Smith to miss game against Celtics?
|11.07.08 at 9:12 pm ET
Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith suffered a high ankle sprain on Friday night against the Toronto Raptors. Initial reports indicate Smith will miss 2-4 weeks, which would sideline him for next Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Last season Smith averaged 15.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists against the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs.

such as impulsivity and risk taking, family distress, school failure, and peer influence, are, by and large, similar to those experienced by all youth caught up in delinquent behavior and in the juvenile justice system. More serious offenders may well experience more powerful and prevalent environmental influences, such as neighborhood disorder or deviant peer involvement, and these in turn may exacerbate existing intraindividual vulnerabilities for involvement in antisocial behavior. The processes by which these contextual and individual risk characteristics interact to increase the risk of criminal involvement, however, appear more similar than different among serious, nonserious, and nonoffending adolescents.
It is important to note that the findings summarized above and in Table 6-1 are inherently limited, in light of new, possible risk markers that might be examined if this type of research were done today. When the referenced studies were conducted, there was little awareness of the wide range of biological, neuropsychological, or psychosocial variables that might be considered as highly relevant to adolescent development. Examination of these new constructs of interest might elucidate powerful interactions or moderated effects that simply were not imagined as relevant when the reviewed studies were conducted.
The above findings are nonetheless relevant for developing strategies for assessing and intervening with adolescent offenders. First, there is currently no clearly applicable approach for identifying the adolescent offender who will go on to commit the most horrific and troubling crimes. Hindsight often makes it seem like these adolescents must be readily detectable, but foresight for doing so has not been found (Mulvey, Schubert, and Odgers, 2010). Adolescent offenders differ on a gradient of risk for future offending, with no distinct set of risk markers associated with the most serious and chronic offending, and approaches that use this general framework for risk have the most solid empirical basis. In addition, the risk markers associated with future offending, either serious and chronic or not, cover a broad array of personal and social features and differ with developmental period. This means that interventions limited to just one "key" factor during a limited period of development are likely to have an equally limited sustained impact on reoffending.
This does not mean that secondary prevention efforts to reduce involvement in antisocial activities and future offending are for naught. Multiple effective prevention strategies for working with troubled and troubling youth have been shown to have positive effects (Office of the Surgeon General, 2001). The implication of the above findings about the limited specificity of risk markers is that interventions of this sort will have only

5:17: Northrop Grumman has released a short statement:
Northrop Grummanacknowledges that today it has received the final Request for Proposals for the U.S. Air ForceKC-X Tanker Modernization Program.
Northrop Grummanwill analyze the RFP and defer further public comments until its review of the document has been completed."
5:10: Boeing has released this statement:
"Boeing has begun the process of closely studying the details of the KC-X Tanker final RFP. Today's release of the final RFP is an important milestone for our Air Force customer. Not only does it mean that the KC-X competition can proceed, it also is a strong signal that America is moving forward on replacing its air refueling capability – a critical enabler for projecting power and protecting this nation."
"We've said consistently that it is up to the Air Force to determine the KC-X requirements for a new generation of tankers. It's our responsibility to respond to those requirements. While we appreciated the open dialogue with the Air Force throughout this process, we are disappointed that the RFP does not address some of our key concerns, including Airbus' unfair competitive advantage derived from subsidies from its sponsor European governments – subsidies that the World Trade Organization has found to be illegal and harmful to U.S. workers and industry – and how fuel and military-construction costs over the life of the tankers will be factored into consideration of the competing bids. We will review the RFP in its entirety and in detail before offering further assessment."
5:08: Press conference has concluded. The Pentagon has legal options it can pursue if Northrop decides not to bid, says Bill Lynn, undersecretary of defense. He declined to elaborate on what those options are. It raises an interesting question: Can DOD force a private company to submit a bid for a contract in the name of national security? I don't know the answer, but I'm checking. [UPDATE: Quick answer from Lynn's spokesperson: No.] Other important notes:
- First deliveries of production aircraft will not occur until 2018
- Four aircraft are involved in the system development and demonstration phase, plus 179 aircraft in 13 lots of production
4:14: KC-X RFP document now available
3:46: It's almost time to tune into press conference with Lynn, Carter and Donley at the Pentagon.
3:04: Senator Pat Roberts, of Kansas, releases video endorsing final RFP, and says: "Some European airplane company isn't very happy. Tough for them. Good for us." Meanwhile, Senator Richard Shelby, of Alabama, says the same document "discredits the integrity of the entire process."
2:43: How do the competing tankers compare to the USAF's fuel offload requirement in the draft RFP?
Using Boeing and Northrop's marketing material, I've compiled the fuel offload for all three eligible platforms. Keep in mind, bonus points are awarded only if evaluated price of the bids come within 1% of each other. As you can see below, if Boeing proposes the KC-767, Northrop is at a disadvantage unless it can match or beat Boeing's price. All data is based on 10,000ft takeoff roll and 1,000nm mission radius.
Minimum threshold: 94,000lb
4 Bonus points: 106,000lb
KC-767: ~120,000lb
6 Bonus points: 120,500lb
8 Bonus points: 130,000lb
10 Bonus points: 147,000lb
KC-45 offload: 153,000lb
KC-777 offload: 199,000lb
2:06: I interviewed Jean Chamberlin, Boeing's new KC-7A7 program manager, in Orlando last week. For what it's worth, Chamberlin predicted a very tight race with Northrop. "It will be a tough competition, and I do see it as neck and neck," she told me. So tough, in fact, that Boeing is re-evaluating how much information it can reveal before contract award. "This is a really tough competition," she says. "I'm going to have a hard time thinking about how much I'll disclose now."
1:51: Bloomberg/Business Week has strongest legislative reaction so far. "I don't think it looks promising for Northrop" — Representative Mike Rogers, Alabama
1:42: Associated Press takes the, er, optimistic angle on the final RFP story.
1:26: John Bennett at Defense News has already posted an excellent overview of the current situation. Bennett, I believe, also is the first to specify the only mandatory requirement (out of 373) dropped in the final RFP: an all-weather precision landing system based on microwave. I suppose tanker pilots will have to make-do with ILS approaches.
1:10: Lynn's presentation says the highest-priced bidder can still win the competition. The question remains whether that will satisfy the Northrop Grumman/EADS North America team. Northrop is also concerned that the requirements tilt the US Air Force's selection towards a smaller aircraft. The company has even opined the existing KC-135R would beat both the 767 and A330 under the evaluation criteria proposed in the draft RFP released on September 25. We now know that the final RFP contains only minor changes to the requirements, so Northrop's biggest concern may still remain.
12:56: Amy Butler at the Ares blog may have the answer about the important pricing change (see 12:41 entry). She reports the Pentagon has added an incentive fee to the fixed-price structure, and offered to split the bill for any cost overruns 60/40 with the contractor.
12:49: I asked Richard Aboulafia, aerospace analyst and executive vice president at the Teal Group, two questions this morning by email. Here's the exchange – note Aboulafia's artful dodge of my attempt to paint him into an absolute corner:
Question: Do you think Northrop Grumman will submit a bid? (yes or no)
Answer: Probably not, unless the RfP changes in a meaningful way, which it probably won't.
Do you think the US Air Force will eventually operate A330 tankers, regardless of who wins KC-X contract? (yes or no)
Answer: Probably not, but there's a decent chance they'll operate some kind of Airbus eventually.
12:41: Bill Lynn's brief says there is "an important changeto the contract pricing strategy" that would be described by AshtonCarter, undersecretary of acquistion, technology and logistics. Butthere's no mention of Carter's comments in the brief posted on DODBuzz.So we'll have to wait a bit longer to know this critical piece ofinformation. Northrop Grumman says one of its biggest concerns with thedraft RFP is that it could lead to a "race to the bottom" on price, asopposed to rewarding more performance.
12:30pm: Hi folks. Big day, of course. If you want to read the brief DOD Undersecretary Bill Lynn gave Congress this morning, download it at DODBuzz.com. I'll be live-blogging updates for the rest of the afternoon, including the 4pm press conference at the Pentagon, which you can watch at the Pentagon Channel.

NEDA: Foreign aid releases slightly increased in 2011
popular .
Foreign aid releases to the Philippines grew 4 percent to $1.67 billion in 2011 from $1.61 billion the previous year, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said Monday, citing a preliminary report on overseas development assistance (ODA).
"The increase in the disbursement level and ratio in 2011 is attributed to the $500-million single tranche release of the World Bank's 'Disaster Risk Management Development Policy Loan with a Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option," said Roderick M. Planta, NEDA project monitoring staff director.
Total disbursement ratio, or the percentage of actual disbursements to the net loan available during the year, went up to 30.1 percent in 2011 from the 29.5 percent reported in 2010.
Net commitments of official development assistance for 2011 amounted to $8.54 billion, from $1.07 billion in 2010, financing a total of 78 loans.
Implementing agencies of the government received less disbursements in 2011. Total ODA disbursement rate dropped from 80.2 percent to 77.6 percent. Availment rate also dropped to 75 percent in 2011 from 80 percent the previous year.
The biggest ODA funding source in 2011 is still the government of Japan, through its Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), accounting for 32 percent of total ODA commitments for the Philippines. JICA's share was reported to be lower than the 36.40 percent seen in 2010.
Also, World Bank accounted for a 29.1-percent share of the funding.
China accounted for a 13.36-percent share in aid, up from the 11.87-percent reported the previous year.
The Asian Development Bank's commitment share also went down to 8.53 percent, from 10.18 percent in 2010.

For now, you can't do better than the thin, chewy-crusted pies at Stone Hearth Pizza. If rarified toppings like arugula, white beans, Yukon gold potatoes, hot Thai peppers, and all-beef, nitrate-free pepperoni sound a smidge pretentious—well, yeah, they are. But they also make a mighty tasty pizza. And with a price tag of about $11 for a whole pie, you can afford to keep it real with a $4 draft. (A $4 artisanal microbrewed draft, but still.)

Tito's gonna look like a jackass if he loses the fight. Dana will have last laugh.
i thought titos shirt was predictable but funny i hope he somehow pulls it out
haha that is pretty funny. i'm watching the weigh ins right now because for some reason i couldn't get it live. too bad dana couldn't be there to see the shirt in person.
tito came to fight, he looks like he is in great shape. only one way to find out though.
Where you watchin the weigh ins?
i tried to watch live on ufc.com…couldn't. now they have a replay of it on the ufc site. it's worth the look. although it would have been better if dana was there to look tito in the eye.
Tito is annoying. I hope he gets smashed by Machida.
yeah i would love to see tito get his ass kicked it would be a fitting end to his long run of bullshit
Tito might become the Dennis Rodman of mmaif hes not carefull
now its Dennis who?

This season, it is Arpeggio of Blue Steel. Best show out of the batch right now. If you ever saw the Andromeda TV series, this is like that.
Five Stars for the Fleet Admiral!Now the harem is coming out of the Fog. Another Chihaya is before us, and this time its boy-captain Gunzou.

Epic battle scenes and explosionsThis anime has really epic battle scenes and action in all the episodes so far and I personally like anime's with a post apocalypse settings and I also like the story line and all the characters so far introduced. Although I don't really like the animation you get used to it really fast.
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Please don't let this turn into an harem animeThis anime so far seems to have lots of potential to be very good, dealing with themes of humanity vs AI, and possibly goals of the individual vs the goals of a group; along with all that, there's the interesting naval combat scenes, which are always fun... but even from the first few episodes, it's already apparent that the MM girls might be drawn to the protagonist, with Iona slowly developing ...Read more

For some reason though, those games where you have endless wandering around options really appeal to me even if there are some not so great things about it. I think what excited me a lot about that video was when he said that there's a lot of stuff off the beaten path to discover and explore. That was one of my biggest complaints with crysis and warhead. LOTS of off path map space but absolutely nothing but trees and grass and rocks
It seems that they're wanting to reward you for just wandering around in FC3.
Oh and the grabbing the dude's knife from behind, stabbing him then throwing the knife into another guy... yeah that was one of the coolest takedowns I've ever seen in a game.

I had trouble when paying with Amex. After a long disscusion I could pay for the room and they used an old slip. But I could not pay with Amex in the bar and hotel shops. The bar was very expensive. The shows, who I think was Cooks, were very bad and tere was small children running around even after 22.00

We spent a few days in this hotel during the winter so it was not the usual period in a beach resort. Location: There is not a usable map on the page of hotel however we could find it easily by Goggle Maps. The beach is about 10-15 minutes walk. The hotel situated in a typical holiday neighbourhood. Arriving: It was ice cold in the room. I would have expected the staff to switch the air conditioner on to preheat the room. We wanted to use the indoor swimming pool and the gym as the were included in the list of hotel facilities. We faced that these services were run independently of the hotel. They wanted us to pay (the very high) daily rate one hour before closing. The indoor "swimming pool" was not a swimming pool - a swimming pool is at least 25 metres long. The electricity of the room switches off after the key is removed from the cradle. While we were out the air conditioner was not working - the only heating facility in an ice cold room. It was impossible to charge devices as well. Nevertheless all it was very cheap - a good value for money.

Ever since 50 Cent's absolutely horrendous ceremonial first pitch back in May, any celebrity that takes the mound is basically on notice. Fortunately for Jack White, he will not be the subject of the same type of ridicule. White threw the ceremonial first pitch at last night's Detroit Tigers game against the Chicago White Sox, and if the 11-4 Tigers loss is any indication, it was perhaps the highlight of the game for Detroit fans. The video below shows White pitching from the top of the mound (bonus points), and even though is was a bit low, his pitch wasn't half bad. Also, it was "Christmas in July" night at the park, which explains why Santa Claus is catching. White even brought his Third Man Rolling Record Store truck to the park for fans to purchase various titles from his label, as well as special reissued Sun Records singles from Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis.
White is in Detroit for two shows on his latest solo tour promoting his new album, Lazaretto. He's playing the Masonic Temple tonight, which he saved from foreclousure by paying their back taxes that amounted in $142,000. For the latest news on White, head over to JackWhiteiii.com.

Backyard Bees lotions and potions have become a sellout product at the Southern California Spring Garden Show at South Coast Plaza as well as the Whole Foods Market in Tustin.
"People pick up a jar and smell our product and they're sold," Andrews said.
She says the purity is unmatched.
"We don't keep our bees commercially, like other well-known, bee-related companies you may know about," Andrews said.
"Our bees are treatment-free and raised naturally. When bees are healthy and well fed, they can resist diseases that destroy commercial bee populations."
A good back yard for the beekeepers is one that is large enough so the hive won't bother the neighbors. And you won't want to have small children next door, Andrews said.
Andrews says many homeowners don't respect the work that bees do, choosing extermination instead of rescue.
"We wouldn't have our gardens without them," she said.

Promising research led by investigators at Hospital for Special Surgery may offer hope for women with lupus who once thought that pregnancy was too risky.
Results from the multicenter National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded PROMISSE initiative, being presented Monday, Nov. 7 and then during a press conference on Tuesday, Nov. 8, during the American College of Rheumatology's 2011 Annual Scientific Meeting in Chicago, show that most women with stable lupus can have successful pregnancies.
"There was a misconception, based on outdated experience, that women with lupus should not try to have children," said Jane Salmon, M.D., the study's senior author and Collette Kean Research Chair at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. "Now that our treatments are more effective and we have a better understanding of the disease, we can identify a window when pregnancy is safe and outcomes are good for mother and fetus."
Historically, women with systemic lupus erythematosus (also know as SLE or lupus) have been advised not to become pregnant because of risks to their own and their fetus' health. SLE is a chronic inflammatory disease, in which the body's own immune system attacks tissues of the body and can cause complications during pregnancy.
Drs. Salmon, together with Jill Buyon from New York University Medical Center, and their collaborators evaluated 333 pregnant women with lupus from the PROMISSE Study (Predictors of pRegnancy Outcome: BioMarkers In antiphospholipid antibody Syndrome and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), which seeks to identify biomarkers that predict poor pregnancy outcomes. The research team found that 80 percent of lupus patients had a favorable pregnancy outcome.
Patients with lupus may be free of symptoms for long periods of time and then experience a disease "flare," when symptoms such as rash, joint pain, chest pain, swollen legs, bruising and/or fatigue suddenly appear.
