Long periods of extremely hot, cold or rainy weather over land in the northern hemisphere often occur when the polar jet stream, which meanders around the globe at mid latitudes, gets stuck. Some have associated a recent spate of extreme weather with a weakening jet stream, perhaps caused by the warming Arctic – in which case such events could become more familiar in the future.

Tiaras these days are not only worn for weddings but also for proms and special occasions and it is wonderful to see someone walk down the aisle, or dressed for a prom, in a tiara you have designed and made for them.

Deciding which type of tiara band to use?
There are two basic types of tiara band, the crown band and the head band or alice band.
Which type you choose depends on the hairstyle of the wearer and the design of the tiara.
Tiara Crown Band
The crown band is good to use for an upright tiara design because the whole of the front of the tiara can easily be seen.
The way to fasten it into your hair is to hide the ends of the band in your hairstyle. Take the top of your hair back into a bun, or mini pony tail, slide the crown band under the hair and fasten with grips.

In order to make full use of its oceans' potential, the South African government is in the process of developing a blue economy strategy, said the Department of Environmental Affairs.
"South Africa has large ocean spaces and we are beginning to appreciate the value of this vital national asset and how it can contribute to our livelihoods and economy," said Environmental Affairs Deputy Director General Dr Monde Mayekiso, on Monday.
He said technology was unlocking the resources that lie within the ocean and the sustainable use of these resources will have a meaningful contribution towards the ability to create jobs in years to come.
"Much of our ocean remains unexplored and therefore there is a need to urgently gather information and describe what resources are available and how they can be used sustainably," he said.
Mayekiso was speaking at a meeting with various stakeholders in Port Elizabeth, following the gazetting of the White Paper on the National Environmental Management of the Ocean (NEMO) for implementation.
The White Paper on NEMO, which was approved by Cabinet in December 2013, aims to govern activities and role players with a stake in the ocean, in order to ensure optimal and sustainable use of the marine environment.
The National Development Plan identified ocean economy as one of the key drivers to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality by 2030.
Dr Mayekiso noted that the policy is in accordance with the South African constitution and is relevant to international laws, domestic legislation which includes the National Environment Act and associated supporting legislations. "A number of key areas such as Aquaculture, Marine Transport, Offshore Oil and Gas Exploration would be crucial in growing the economy providing much needed jobs and improving prosperity while ensuring environmental sustainability and integrity," Dr Mayekiso said.
World Oceans Day
Prior to the engagement with the stakeholders, the department joined the rest of the world in celebrating the annual World Oceans Day (WOD) at the Bayworld Aquarium in Port Elizabeth, on Saturday.
This year's WOD was celebrated under the theme: "Together we have the power to protect our ocean", which recognises the impact of climate change on oceans and people.
As part of the celebrations, the department also held information sessions on Saturday with youth from the New Brighton area and its surrounds. The department officials interacted with pupils from various schools with an aim to create interest in learners to pursue a career in the environment sector.
As the three-day celebrations drew to an end, the department said it was looking forward to working with other departments and government agencies to effectively explore the use, protection and management of the precious oceans.

I'll be at Anthrocon next weekend!on June 5, 2012 at 12:20 am
Hey, guys! I'm sure many of you might already be aware of this fact, or at least might be suspecting it's truthiness, but I wanted to let you all know that I will in fact be at Anthrocon next weekend, June 15th-17th!
"What the heck is Anthrocon", some of you might ask? Well, I will tell you, because if you're asking this you clearly don't frequent any furry-oriented websites. Anthrocon is an annual convention in Pittsburg, and just so happens to be the BIGGEST anthropomorphics convention in the US (possibly the world? I'm not sure, someone will have to fact-check that one for me.) Artists and Dealers from across the country and the world travel to attend, sell their wares, hold panels, give performances, and generally have a pretty dang good time. And yes, some of them DO dress up in animal costumes (we had over 800 last year, out of the 4,400 attendees.)
I will be at table L5 all weekend, selling my books (including the new Tatersaurus Rex) and all the new shirts, plus stickers, patches, and more. Plus, if you get to my table early enough, I'll also be doing paid sketches and badges, so you can get some original, custom, JUST FOR YOU art. I also have some original artwork up for sale in the art show/auction, so make sure you swing over there and check that out too.
Just look for this banner….
…or just find me on the map!
So if you're in Pittsburg and are feeling adventurous, come out to Anthrocon and come say Hi!

08/22/03 - Coral beds & Sargassum
Following late night Tucker trawling, many more transects were drawn in preparation for today's dives. At four o'clock this morning, the sonar reading completed, sampling finally resumed. Two plankton net and three Neuston net deployments caught more sargassum and a small jack. The ship then steamed ahead to the morning dive site.
The nighttime sonar readings revealed what appeared to be steep cliffs, with shallow plateaus in an area of Lophelia coral beds. What the sub's main observer, Chief Scientist Ken Sulak, found was an area of coral rubble which supported an immense diversity of life. Samples from this dive included coral, brittle stars, Venus fly trap anemones, galatheid crabs, a glass sponge, starfish, and a Laemonema barbatulum (a cool species of fish with dorsal and caudal fins running the length of its body, and a chin whisker!). What was seen but not caught was equally exciting, including scorpion fish, angler fish, other starfish, an ink expelling squid, and a healthy-sized dusky shark. Doni Angell, Educator at Sea, was fortunate enough to experience her first dive this morning.
As the second dive crew gets their safety briefing, others work at computers compiling data, creating maps, and writing web logs. Some transcribe voice (taped) data to paper; a few catch up on sleep to be ready for night watches. Breaking up all of this daily ongoing work are three delicious meals which continue to amaze us all. If this is 'brain food' we should have no problem getting over any obstacles along the way.
Now that the submersible is on its second dive of the day, some dip netting has taken place over both the port and starboard sides of the ship. Sargassum mats (clumps of seaweed) were netted along with a myriad of critters that find safe harbor within the mass of blades. Unfortunately, the matting quality of Sargassum, so important to sea life, can also be their demise. Floating dunnage (packing materials including those made from Styrofoam, legal to dump beyond 25 miles from shore) and plastics (illegal to dump) can get trapped by floating sargassum and thereby create a hazard for those animals dependent on these floating oases. Two baby loggerhead turtles were seen while dip netting. Adult sea turtles have been known to die from eating plastics at sea, mistaking them for their favorite prey— jellyfish.
Late night update:
The plan is to begin steaming to our new site - the Northern Lophelia Banks - at midnight. We should arrive around 4:30 a.m. when we will begin doing fathometer surveys to determine our best dive site. We hope the weather up there is fair!

Supplying the Frontlines
Prior to the launch of Alliance Defending Freedom, Christians suffering religious discrimination lost case after case by default, simply because they could not afford attorneys or the sometimes hundreds-of-thousands of dollars that it can cost to successfully defend a multi-year battle over religious freedom.
That is why the founders of Alliance Defending Freedom made it a priority to ultimately raise an annual funding pool of $25 million or more to ensure that there would be sufficient funds to properly defend every potentially precedent-setting legal case and to enable the Body of Christ to go on the offensive, when necessary.
Making a Difference
Since 1994, Alliance Defending Freedom has provided nearly 2,400 individual grants to fund some of the most critical, precedent-setting legal cases. Thanks to the faithful support from dedicated Christians like you, more than $36 million has been distributed to countless cases that may have otherwise been lost – simply because the necessary funding was not available to sustain a quality legal defense over numerous years.
"We are only able to fight on because [Alliance Defending Freedom] is standing with us in the fight — not just through grants, but through prayer and encouragement from people we know care about us and those we serve. Without you, we would be overwhelmed."Rick Nelson, Alliance Defending Freedom Grant Recipient
You can help continue this incredible record of success. With your monthly donation of $35 or more, you'll help provide the funding necessary for Alliance Defending Freedom to continue to fight for religious liberty through our direct litigation and grants and funding program.

THURSDAY - June 12, 2008
RALEIGH - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that RONALD CRUICKSHANK, pled guilty in federal court in Raleigh, North Carolina, today pursuant to a plea agreement. Chief United States District Judge Louise W. Flanagan accepted CRUICKSHANK'S plea of guilty to three counts of tax evasion relating to his 2001, 2003, and 2004 tax years.
CRUICKSHANK, 60, previously from Durham, North Carolina, could receive a maximum sentence of fifteen years' imprisonment, a fine of $750,000, and three years of supervised release. His actual sentence will be determined by the court using the United States Sentencing Guidelines, which are advisory. Sentencing has been set for the Court's September 2008 criminal trial docket.
As noted by the Government during the plea hearing, in 2001 CRUICKSHANK worked as an executive at a Raleigh advertising company named Howard Merrill Partners. CRUICKSHANK received $297,132 in taxable income during this tax year. In 2003, CRUICKSHANK received taxable income of $256,668 in connection with his job at Howard Merrill and as the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of a sock manufacturer named Thor Lo Inc. In 2004, CRUICKSHANK received taxable income of $401,658.69 from his job as CEO of Thor Lo Inc. and other investments. CRUICKSHANK admitted that rather than paying income taxes on such income he took affirmative acts to conceal his income from the Internal Revenue Service, including, having his salary paid to nominee trusts, opening bank accounts for such trusts under the name of his mother-in-law, depositing his paychecks into such bank accounts, and then using the money in such bank accounts to pay his personal expenses.
United States Attorney Holding said, "Our office is committed to enforcing tax laws so that people are not allowed to flout their obligation thereby putting more burden on law-abiding citizens."

Canine Acute Intervertebral Disc Herniations – Evaluation of Different Neuroprotective Therapies
Certain breeds of dog are predisposed to acute disc herniations that can cause devastating spinal cord injuries. In severe cases, current therapy focuses on surgical removal of the herniated disc material to decompress the spinal cord, but adjunctive medical therapy is controversial. In this study we are comparing two neuroprotective drugs with placebo in dogs with surgically treated disc herniations.
- Dogs that have suffered an acute thoracolumbar disc herniation(s) causing paralysis with loss of sensation to the hind limbs.
- Injury must have happened within the last 24 hours.
- Dogs must be 2-10 years, and weigh <25kg.
- Prior treatment with steroids will exclude them from the trial.
Financial Incentive:
This study funds the cost of the trial drugs and recheck evaluations at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after the injury.

The X Factor
Check Out X Factor Contestant CeCe Frey's Adorable Christmas Throwback Pic
Be honest: when you think of CeCe Frey as a kid, we know that you totally imagine that she dressed exclusively in Halloween costumes and ice skating outfits. Spangly skirts, full-on face paint... lots of nude, bedazzled mesh sleeves. You know, the works.
So, imagine our surprise when CeCe tweeted this insanely adorable picture of herself and sibs as a kid (CeCe is the one in the middle).
Who knew that CeCe was such a sweet and innocent little kid? We're guessing that all she wanted for Christmas that year was her two front teeth...

history of my favorite shows
- eli stone
- project runway
- six feet under
- freaks and geeks
- my so-called life
- everwood
- thirtysomething
- moonlighting
- max headroom
- simpsons
- seinfeld
- will & grace
- mad about you (pre-baby)
- ally mcbeal (robert downey jr. season)
- frasier (pre-niles & daphne)
- remington steele
- streethawk
- friends (a college thing)
these are shows i went out of my way to watch, during one season or another... ranked by how lovingly i remember them. :)
streethawk? wonder who started that obsession? where is miami vice on this list?
I was so absorbed by that show in junior high. I used to tape every episode and watch it about five to seven times before the next episode aired. Sadly, I think I still have entire shows memorized word for word.
It is shame there are few shows as creative or verbally sharp on the air today. In fact, Moonlighting reminds me more of my beloved screwball comedies (Bringing Up Baby, My Man Godfrey, His Girl Friday, etc.) than of anything contemporary.
Heck, I even enjoyed the last season to some degree; long after the fire had flared, the wit of the scripts still earned my hour of time.
Shalom, y'all!
L. Bangs
it's funny to think about this... i just remembered while re-reading your post that i was upset when they changed the air-time and my mom wouldn't let me stay up to watch it anymore--now i'm thinking: did we not have a vcr at the time? wow i suddenly feel old.
yes, moonlighting had great dialogue, unlike anything else that's come out since, i think. and every now and again bruce willis will pull off a line in a movie like he used to and i'll remember why i liked him so much (enough to have a picture of him on my wall *blush*).
if anybody's interested, or just feeling particularly kind... please sign the petition to get Freaks & Geeks released on DVD. *pretty please!*
Okay, but you have to tell me a little something about this show first. Otherwise I'll feel like I'm just shamelessly padding their numbers. :-)
Think That 70's Show placed about five years earlier and played out as perceptive coming-of-age drama instead of high school comedy. Oh, and make most of the character more like Fez.
I sorta think you'd dig it, Jim, but Lord knows, I've been wrong before... :)
I love it. It is everything I wanted My So Called Life to be. (I think the Danes show sunk itself by being too impressed with its own gravity and art; Six Feet Under for the teen set; sorry, Taryn; to be fair, all my friends also loved My So Called Life...).
Shalom, y'all!
L. Bangs
I know how to hook you, Jim. Guess who wrote and directed many of the episodes? Jake Kasdan, of Zero Effect fame.
Guess what else? It is the best thing he's ever been involved with. Yup, better than Zero Effect. Check it out!
Shalom, y'all!
L. Bangs
Okay, I can get on board with that. Consider the petition signed!

Detroit Lions punter Jason Hanson watches plat against the Chicago Bears September 17, 2006 in Chicago. The Bears won 34 - 7. (Photo by Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)
I would like to take this opportunity to nominate the Lions for the award of most entertaining team to watch. With them, there's never a dull moment. The Lions trailed the Eagles 13 to 23 with about five minutes left to play, but in classic fashion, they never gave up, and their late game efforts culminated with a Jason Hanson game winning field goal on the Lions' first possession of overtime, marking the first time this year a team has won an overtime game without winning the coin toss. The Lions, now 2-3, got a gasp of air they desperately needed to keep their season alive. At 1-4 and in one of the toughest divisions in football, a loss was simply out of the question if they wanted to continue to entertain postseason aspirations. The Lions biggest problem against Philadelphia was their continued discipline issues. The Lions ended the game with 16 penalties for a total of 132 yards stepped off. On the other hand, the Lions won the turnover battle, intercepting Michael Vick ...

Posts tagged 'indoctrination'
Some readers at my personal blog have asked me why it took me so long to come to my senses about religion. I've given the question a lot of thought, and I think the title of this piece summarizes it best.
When I was a teen, most of my friends and I were apathetic believers in the Judeo-Christian version of god. We believed in a deity, but we weren't the least bit interested in surrendering to him or finding his perfect will for our lives. In fact, as a preacher's kid, I may have been more overtly anti-religious and rebellious than my peers. This was my basic attitude until I was sixteen years old, when I underwent two major life changes.
The first change took place over the summer, when I had an opportunity to travel with an evangelistic team for ten weeks. Even though my faith was apathetic, at best, I was enticed by the glamor of traveling with a group of teens and young adults and actually getting paid for the privilege! What a blast! And it was. The team consisted of eleven members, ten of whom were actually committed Christians. I was the odd person out. I didn't let on that I wasn't saved and, since I could easily talk the talk, I breezed through the summer and, to all outward appearances, fit right in with the rest of the group. I really liked these people: even though they were on fire for Jesus, they were friendly, fun and funny.
Notwithstanding the close relationships that developed in that ten weeks, had I simply returned home to my usual peer group of apatheists, I likely would have fit right back in with them too…

Onward, Christian Children
Regular readers here may recall a piece I wrote several months ago about the confirmation of Chloe, a seven-year-old girl, into a local Salvation Army congregation. I recently came across a post from another blog that reminded me of my earlier confirmation post.
Here is an excerpt from the recent post, written from an evangelical Christian perspective:
Last week I raised a question of what it means to respect a child and sought reflections on the implications of really doing so. This week, I want to reflect on some writings by the founder, William Booth from his work 'The Training of Children'.
Why? Because I have been involved in children's ministry for a little while now, and I am constantly amazed by a child's capacity to not only grasp the truth of God, but to both apply and propagate all that comes from that truth….
I enrolled a Soldier last month. Firstly let me say how excited she was to make a covenant with God. She was counting down the days and could not be distracted. Since her enrollment, she has read God's word like it is her daily bread and prayed as though it was second nature. She reads her covenant every night before bed and has committed to learning the eleven doctrines by heart…

What are the best arguments, and what are the strawmen?
My on-going experiment to ruthlessly engage with those who wish to effectively argue for Christianity has been underway for what seems like an eternity (no pun intended), but in many ways, I'm no closer to finding that killer argument (unsurprising really). Reflecting back on my days as a Christian, I wish I had come up against some of these arguments earlier so it would have resulted in a paradigm shift in my thinking – but I'm really not sure that there was ever an argument out there that could penetrate the barriers to change prior to when one is ready.
So, it seems that no argument I have submitted to a Christian has even caused them to flinch. It's quite depressing to leave it at that, because I imagine if I carried out a similar onslaught with members of another religion, I would get the same result – and they can't ALL be right. At least some (if not all) people of religious faith seem to be immune to reasoned argument. Maybe that's quite obnoxious on my part.
So what have I learned? What are the arguments to which the response has been particularly weak and/or non-forthcoming but there are also lines of debate which yield absolutely no fruit?
First of all, it is completely futile trying to point out contradictions, inaccuracies and difficulties within the bible. The response is one of 'yes, it's difficult, we need to try hard to understand all this… our mind is small compared to god's"…

Help Lumination choose the Mount Rushmore of Lipscomb ...
While there is still plenty of 2014 left to go, there has been one point of conversation that has dominated social media and beyond this year.
"Who/what would be on the Mount Rushmore of (fill in the blank of a group of people, places or things)?"
We here at Lumination have begun to ponder this very question about of the men and women who lead our classrooms at Lipscomb University every day, and we need your help.
Who would you place on the Mount Rushmore of Lipscomb professors?
Over the next two weeks or so, we would love for you to chime in with your four picks. The four professors who receive the most votes will fill in the four faces! If you'd like, you can offer a short blurb on why you chose the four professors that you did to be included in the post of winners.
For example:
I choose Dr. W, Dr. X, Dr. Y and Dr. Z for the Mount Rushmore of Lipscomb professors.
Dr. Z is a friendly, energetic teacher who always impresses with her brilliant lectures and in-class demonstrations. She always is eager to help any students with problems they may have, and she even has a box of cookies on her desk for students to enjoy throughout the day. She's an excellent example of a professor that absolutely deserves to be on the Mount Rushmore of Lipscomb professors.
(Three more would follow, and feel free to write as much as you would like).
Submissions can be made in our comments section.
The deadline for submissions will be on Friday, March 14, at midnight.
When you enter your picks in the comments section, you will be automatically be entered into a drawing for one of three $10 Shell gas cards.

For the Daily News
In conjunction with its focus this fall on books about World War II in commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the war's end, Starkville Reads will present "The Music of World War II" on Veterans' Day, Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Starkville High School Auditorium.
The program will feature Dr. Guy Hargrove, tenor, who will also serve as the Master of Ceremonies as well as the Starkville High School Jazz Ensemble and the Starkville High School Girls' Ensemble singing in the style of the Andrews Sisters.
Hargrove will sing some of the love songs which captured the longing felt by soldiers separated from their loved ones, such as "I'll be Seeing You" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas."
As the emcee, he will also give interesting pieces of information about the war years. For example, movies as well as songs had war themes, and rationing became more and more prevalent as the war continued. Shoes were rationed at three pairs a year and there were restrictions on sugar, butter, and canned goods, among others.
Hargrove is a retired MSU faculty member who taught in the Music Education department for 25 years, concertized throughout the United States and Europe, and served as the conductor and music director of the MSU-Starkville Symphony for 17 years. He continues to give concerts and to sing in various programs, most recently at MSU in February, in London in July at the T.S. Eliot International Summer School, in St. Louis in September at the T.S. Eliot Society Conference, and in October at Starkville High School.
The SHS Girls' Ensemble, re-named for this performance only The Andrews Sisters Plus Seven, will perform three songs made popular by the Andrews Sisters: the lively, toe-tapping "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" about a famous trumpeter who was drafted and now plays for "his Uncle Sam" in Company B as well as "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else but Me" about a young soldier who begs his girlfriend to remain faithful to him while he's away in the war and "Three Little Fishies," a whimsical song about baby fish wanting to go out on their own. Gina Weeks is the Director of the SHS Girls' Ensemble.
The Starkville High School Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Doug Thomas, will play a group of well-known instrumental pieces that will include "It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got that Swing," "The Blues Walk," and "American Patrol." The early 40s were the era of Big Band and Swing music with such band leaders as Major Glenn Miller, a famous big band leader and director of the U.S. Air Force band who was lost on a flight over the English Channel in 1944, and such musicians and composers as Duke Ellington.
The program will close with the entire cast performing "God Bless America," with the audience joining in. Written by Irving Berlin in 1918, the song was revived by Kate Smith in 1938 and was a major patriotic song during the war years.
According to Nancy Hargrove, President of Starkville Reads, this program will be inspirational educational, and entertaining and will showcase the musical talents of some of our outstanding high school students as well as of a professional singer well-known in the community as they perform some of the most memorable musical pieces of the World War II era.
The program is free of charge and open to all. Veterans of World War II are especially encouraged to attend and will be asked to stand so that their service can be gratefully acknowledged at the beginning of the program.
Starkville Reads will present two additional programs on World War II in November. On Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Starkville Public Library, Dr. Kathryn Barbier will discuss D-Day and Jeff Shaara's novel about it entitled The Steel Wave. In collaboration with the Starkville Community Theatre, on Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. at the Starkville Community Theatre, Dr. Clyde Williams will introduce and then show "Prelude to War," the first part of the documentary "Why We Fight," directed by Frank Capra and shown to all World War II soldiers.
This segment will conclude the programs on World War II books, which were presented in conjunction with the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum and began in August with a discussion of Tom Brokaw's best seller The Greatest Generation led by Dr. Robert Wolverton. Starkville Reads provided copies of these books as well as the Young Adult version of James Bradley's Flags of our Fathers to the Starkville Public Library and other local venues.
Starkville Reads, a nonprofit, all-volunteer group whose purpose is to promote books and reading, is grateful to the Starkville Rotary Club, the Starkville Area Arts Council, and the City of Starkville for grants in support of the purchase of donated books and of these and other recent programs as well as to Copy Cow and to numerous individuals who have made generous contributions.

Currently, RSV causes more than 100,000
pediatric hospitalizations per year in the United States, usually during the first two years of a child�s life. Most children who are hospitalized with RSV recover completely. �However, children born prematurely, or with underlying chronic or congenital lung disease, are at a greater risk of having RSV escalate into a more serious disease,� explained Leonard R. Krilov, MD, an expert in RSV, who is Chief, Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Winthrop � part
of Winthrop�s Institute for Family Care.
�Efforts toward the prevention of RSV disease are aimed at premature infants and those with congenital or acquired lung disease. Pediatricians are equipped to administer the preventive immunization, Synagis, during the child�s first two years of life,� said Dr. Krilov. �The inoculations are given monthly, beginning in October or November, to provide protection during January and February, the months of the greatest incidences of RSV.�
In l998, Synagis was FDA-approved for premature babies and for newborns with congenital lung problems. Synagis is a monoclonal antibody that provides extra antibodies to combat RSV, which translates into greater protection. Full-term, healthy babies rarely need Synagis, which requires five to six visits to the pediatrician for inoculations, during each of the one or two years during which it is administered.
Dr. Krilov is Principal Investigator of a clinical trial of the efficacy of Synagis when prescribed for children with congenital heart disease. The purpose of the trial is to win FDA approval of the drug for this category of patients, if it proves effective. Now
in its third year, the trial�s other investigators include Winthrop attending physicians Carlos Montoya, MD, Chief, Pediatric Cardiology, Donna J. Better, MD, Faculty Attending, Pediatric Cardiology, and Paul Lee, MD, Faculty Attending, Pediatric Infectious Disease.
Dr. Krilov has administered the medication
to babies in the high risk group, with congenital heart defects, who are just a few days old.
Medically appropriate children who participate are availed of treatment with promising
new pharmaceuticals, and are closely monitored by specialists, at no cost. If the drug works for the baby, the baby�s improved health is an
obvious and immediate benefit. Other benefits include learning more about the baby�s diagnosis and congenital condition. Participants have the satisfaction of helping not only themselves, but future generations of patients. They have also helped to add to overall medical knowledge.
�The real purpose of clinical trials is to learn how new pharmaceuticals can help children. Participation is in the best interests of the children. Although adult trials are very efficacious, and we learn a lot, the applications are usually delayed in reaching children,� said Dr. Krilov. �That is partly because the medication must be reformulated as a liquid, in the correct dosage, for children. This takes time.�
Additionally, Dr. Krilov and faculty attending pediatric infectious disease specialists provide a full array of consultative services. As clinicians, Dr. Krilov and his colleague, Dr. Paul Lee, provide care to newly-adopted international babies. Dr. Krilov is experienced in the established

LONDON – Even Michael Phelps seemed to see the night for what it was: a goodbye party for him and a hello to a new generation. It was a rare night when Phelps swam, dominated and even made a little history yet was not the biggest story line. He might not have even been the second-biggest story line, for that matter.
Two teenage girls stole that distinction.
More impressive than Phelps' victory in the 100-meter butterfly in 51.21 seconds over South African Chad le Clos and Russian Evgeny Korotyshkin, who tied for second in 51.44?
How about the domination of Missy Franklin, 17, in the 200-meter backstroke, an event in which she broke the world record and beat the second-place finisher by nearly two seconds?
Or the gold-medal performance by Katie Ledecky, who in her first major international event led the 800-meter freestyle from start to finish and came within a second of breaking the 4-year-old world record in the event?
"The sport is going to be fun to watch," said Phelps, who today will compete in his final event, the 4x100 medley relay. "I'm excited to see it from the outside more than anything, what these young people are going to do to continue to change the sport."
Franklin beamed after touching the wall in 2 minutes, 4.06 seconds, easily sliding under the previous world best of Zimbabwe's Kirsty Coventry, 2:04.81, set in Rome in 2009. Franklin topped Russian Anastasia Zueva (2:05.92) and U.S. teammate Elizabeth Beisel (2:06.55).
"It feels amazing," Franklin said. "It's my favorite event. I can't think of a better way to end. I am the happiest girl alive."
Franklin, who has won three gold medals and one bronze in her first Olympics, has one more chance for a medal in tonight's 4x100 medley relay.
"I just wanted to go out and do my best and get a best time," she said. "My best time just happened to be a world record."
Ho-hum, sometimes that happens.
Franklin seems like a veteran compared to Ledecky, 15, whose competition here began in Thursday's preliminary round and ended when she touched the wall in 8:14.63, breaking the American record held by distance legend Janet Evans.
Ledecky beat Spain's Mireia Garcia Belmonte, who finished in 8:18.76, and Britain's Rebecca Adlington, the reigning Olympic champion who came home in 8:20.32. Adlington was supported by a roaring, flag-waving crowd.
"I was a lot more calm than I was for the preliminary swim," Ledecky said. "I just used the crowd. I put all that energy into the race."
A year ago, the biggest meet of Ledecky's summer was the U.S. junior national championships, in which she won three gold medals.
Friday, the stage was a little bigger.
Said Donna de Varona, who won two gold medals at the 1964 Olympics and watched from the stands: "I haven't seen a better women's team since I can't even tell you when. That says a lot."
It was a great night all around for the United States. To top it off, Cullen Jones grabbed the silver in the 50 freestyle, finishing in 21.54 as Frenchman Florent Manaudou got first in 21.34. American Anthony Ervin, who won the gold medal in the event at the 2000 Summer Games, got fifth in 21.78.
Phelps seemed to put much of his energy into enjoying the moment. As he did Thursday in winning the 200 individual medley, he produced an Olympic three-peat, capturing his third consecutive Olympic title with his victory.
And he did it without the drama of the 2008 Games, when he came from behind and slipped his hand on the wall at the last moment, beating Serbian Milorad Cavic by just .01 seconds. In Friday's race, Cavic got fourth in 51.81.
"I cannot believe Phelps," Cavic said. "I'm a one-trick pony, and he's the king."
Phelps now has a record 21 career Olympic medals – 17 of them gold.
"I don't even want to complain about going slower, or having a bad touch or finish," he said. "I'm not even going to say any of that. I'm just happy the last one was a win. This one was a bigger margin than the last two combined."
Phelps said Friday he still couldn't quite get his head around this finale.
"I thought it would hit me a lot harder than what it is right now," he said. "A lot of those emotions really haven't come through my brain this meet. I think I'm just kind of in meet mode."
For USA Swimming – past, present and most certainly future – it has been a meet to remember.

Happy March Madness!
First off, I want to congratulate Big 12 Coach of the Year Bruce Weber and our men's basketball team on their Big 12 Championship and berth in the NCAA Tournament as well as Coach Patterson and our women's team on persevering and earning a bid to the WNIT. Both teams will be playing this week in our own backyard -- we hope to see you Thursday night at Bramlage for the 7 p.m. WNIT battle with Texas Southern and then Friday afternoon at the Sprint Center in Kansas City for our NCAA Second Round matchup at 2:10 p.m. against either La Salle or Boise State.
I would like to thank our fans for both their patience and persistence in securing their seats in the Sprint Center for what is a very hot and tough ticket in Kansas City this weekend. For those in the area, with or without tickets to the tournament, be sure and come to the Power and Light District Friday at 12:15 p.m. for a pregame pep rally!
As both our men's and women's basketball programs prepare for their upcoming postseason contests, I would like to take a moment and look back on what has been an exciting year so far for our athletics programs. With Big 12 Championships in football and men's basketball YOUR K-State Wildcats became just the third school in league history -- and just the 11th BCS school since 1996 -- to win regular season league titles in those two sports during the same academic year. Add in another NCAA Tournament appearance in volleyball and a postseason berth for our women's basketball team and YOUR K-State Wildcats are just one of 12 schools in the nation to go to a bowl game, advance to the NCAA Tournament in men's basketball and volleyball and earn a trip to the postseason in women's basketball!
And, we still have the remainder of the spring season to add to those accolades as baseball, tennis, golf, track and field, rowing and equestrian continue their schedules.
Now on to a few more updates from around the department which includes new photos from the West Stadium Center construction!
Chambers Named All-Region
Brittany Chambers, who was recently named a First-Team All-Big 12 and Academic All-Big 12 selection as well as the inaugural Big 12 Women's Basketball Scholar Athlete of the Year, added to her resume this week after being named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Region 5 team and also a finalist for All-America honors from the WBCA. Brittany has had a remarkable career at K-State and she and fellow senior Mariah White will lead the Cats one more time in their careers when the Cats open WNIT play Thursday night at Bramlage against Texas Southern. Click here for ticket information, while fans can also watch the action live on K-StateHD.TV.
Seven Wildcats Earn Big 12 Academic Honor
Last week, the Big 12 Conference announced the recipients of its highest academic honor this week and seven Wildcats made the grade in receiving the Dr. Gerald Lage Award. Coach Sweeney's rowing team had the most recipients with three followed by two football players and two men's golfers. Representing the rowing team were Katie Arrow, a senior majoring in management, Allison Dorau, a junior elementary education major and Samantha McCloud, a senior earning her master's degree in architecture. Football was represented by Ethan Hammes, a senior studying agriculture business, and Jared Loomis, a senior civil engineering major. David Klaudt, a junior accounting major, and Daniel Wood, a junior majoring in social sciences, received the award for the men's golf team. Congrats to these student-athletes!
Coach Snyder Receives Award from KCSC
The honors keep rolling in for our 2012 National Coach of the Year as Coach Snyder was recently named the 2013 Burns and McDonnell Coach of the Year by the Kansas City Sports Commission. Each year the Kansas City Sports Commission and Foundation honors the area's outstanding individuals for their commitment and achievement in sports, and I look forward to attending the awards presentation on April 19. Coach Snyder and the football team begin spring practice April 3 and the 2013 Purple/White spring game will be held April 27. And the August 30 season opener against North Dakota State will be right around the corner! Click here for season ticket information. Sales have been terrific which include new first-day record purchases and over 700 new season ticket holders!
West Stadium Center Construction on Track
The construction of the new West Stadium Center continues at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, and if you have driven past the complex lately you will notice drastic changes each day! The project remains on track for our August 30 season opener, and we are excited to showcase this new facility to the nation on FOX Sports 1. Click here for the latest photos of the project as the steel installation process comes to a close, which includes the ceremonial lifting of the building's highest piece of steel!
Spring Sports Update
It's a busy time at K-State with many of our teams in action. Coach Hill and the baseball team are coming off a series win over new Big 12 member West Virginia and a midweek series against Minnesota. The Diamond Cats head into tonight's game with the Gophers at 12-8 overall.
Our eighth-ranked equestrian team closed out the regular season with two big wins at home, including last week's senior day victory over No. 3 Oklahoma State. The squad will next head to Stillwater, Oklahoma, March 29-30 for the Big 12 Championships.
Coach Bietau and the No. 42 ranked tennis team are coming off two road wins in California as victories against Cal Poly and No. 65 Fresno State evened the squad's spring record at 6-6. Next action for the netters is March 30 at KU.
Following a successful indoor season, both track and field squads will now turn their attention to the outdoor season. The men's squad heads into this weekend's ASU Invitational with a No. 23 national ranking, while the women's team will ride the momentum of taking first in four events in last week's meet in Tucson.
It was exciting last month to break ground on the new Intercollegiate Rowing Center as Coach Sweeney and the rest of the squad prepare for spring competition. Following a terrific debut race in Oklahoma last week, the squad traveled to Texas last week to train during Spring Break and also prepare for this weekend's Longhorn Invitational.
Finally, our golf teams are in the midst of a busy spring with the men's team currently in Arizona for a tournament that runs through Saturday. The women are coming off a fourth-place finish in Arizona and will head to South Carolina next week. Next month, we will host the 2013 Big 12 Men's Golf Championships at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, so for those in the Wichita/Hutchinson area remember to come out and cheer on the Cats!
That will do it for today. We hope to see you in Bramlage Thursday night and again Friday in Kansas City!
Go Cats!

Vikings by position, Day 5: Lack of picks has left o-line aging, thin
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Editor's note: Each weekday until the NFL Draft begins on April 28, Tom Pelissero is breaking down the Minnesota Vikings' roster by position, based on observations of games and practice, weekly tape studies and interviews with NFL coaches and scouts.
Day 5
Offensive linemen.
On the roster (10)
T Patrick Brown, C Jon Cooper, RG Anthony Herrera, LG Steve Hutchinson, C John Sullivan, G Chris DeGeare, RT Phil Loadholt, LT Bryant McKinnie, G Seth Olsen, T Thomas Welch.
Unsigned (1)
T/G Ryan Cook.
A premier guard only a couple of years ago, Hutchinson (6-foot-5, 313 pounds) is declining rapidly at age 33 and would be overpaid if the Vikings can't renegotiate a contract that has two years and $13.73 million remaining. When healthy, the six-time All-Pro remains above average. But Hutchinson's body has failed him two straight seasons, and scouts say he's not getting underneath people the way he used to -- a sign his knees are going. McKinnie (6-8, 335) is a sliding player, too, and an inability (or unwillingness) to control his weight isn't helping him at age 31. He gave up six sacks and 34 total pressures last season -- two of them on plays that left his quarterback injured -- and remained typically inconsistent in the run game. That said, McKinnie remains a serviceable starter, and what options do the Vikings have? Loadholt (6-8, 343) has the range to play the left side but would have to improve his feet, and he took a step back in his second season. He had a hand in 40 pressures, led all NFL offensive players with 14 penalties and showed again he's just not all that physical for a man his size, particularly in the run game. DeGeare (6-4, 335) progressed well in six fill-in starts and figures to have a future at guard -- perhaps even as a starter in 2011, if Herrera (6-2, 315) is slow to come back from ACL and triceps injuries. A contract that elevates Herrera's base salary to $2.65 million isn't on the side of a 30-year-old scrapper anyway. Coach Leslie Frazier has said he also wants to give a chance to Cook (6-6, 328), whose restricted tender probably won't hold up under the next labor agreement. His primary asset remains his versatility, though. Team officials also continue to express high hopes for Sullivan (6-4, 301), but he wasn't playing with enough power even before calf injuries derailed him in camp last season. It's hard to imagine him going to camp unopposed again as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. Cooper (6-2, 291) is a fine backup and that's probably it, at least for now. Three teams saw enough talent to put Brown (6-5, 310) on their active roster last season -- he just has a long way to go. Welch (6-7, 310) and Olsen (6-5, 308) are developmental guys who spent most of last season on the practice squad.
One scout's take
"There's always something off the field issue-wise coming up with (McKinnie), and none of it is very flattering when it comes up. But he can still play, so you keep him there. The wheels haven't fallen off yet. It's hard enough to find (left tackles) and develop them. The one thing about it -- you don't want to wait until you're completely transitioning and then have to get a guy immediately, because that's where you're forced to either take one where you don't want to or pay somebody else's an astronomical amount."
-- AFC executive
Draft outlook
Since drafting McKinnie seventh overall in 2002, the Vikings have drafted only six offensive linemen -- fewer than any team but the New York Giants (five) -- and are one of six teams that hasn't taken one in the first round. There is an argument to be made for that to change this year, given the Vikings' long-term need at left tackle and the number of quality prospects likely to be available at No. 12 overall. Taking the top interior prospect, Florida's Mike Pouncey, also could be a possibility if the Vikings trade down. The most likely scenario, however, is adding depth in the second round or beyond, with the possibility of finding a starting-caliber interior player as late as Day 3.
Last 10 drafts
• 2010: DeGeare (fifth round, 161st overall).
• 2009: Loadholt (second, 54th).
• 2008: Sullivan (sixth, 187th).
• 2007: None.
• 2006: Cook (second, 51st).
• 2005: Marcus Johnson (second, 49th).
• 2004: Nat Dorsey (fourth, 115th).
• 2003: None.
• 2002: McKinnie (first, seventh), Edward Ta'amu (fourth, 132nd), Chad Beasley (seventh, 218th).
• 2001: Brian Crawford (seventh, 225th).

Stuart Armstrong and Tony Watt strike in Scotland U21s' win over Canada

Goals from Stuart Armstrong and Tony Watt gave Scotland Under 21s a 2-0 victory over their Canada counterparts in their final International Challenge Match at the Marbella Football Center in Spain.
Billy Stark's side had lost 2-0 to the United States on Friday but they bounced back against the Canadians with Armstrong, captain for the first time, scoring after seven minutes and substitute Watt clinching the win in the final minute.
The young Scots started brightly and were soon ahead. David Smith and Dylan McGeouch both had efforts at goal saved by Canada keeper Richard Gomes before Dundee United midfielder Armstrong drilled the ball into the corner of the net.
Canada could have equalised five minutes later when winger Alessandro Riggi fired a low cross into the Scotland penalty area from the right but the ball found no takers before speeding out of play.
Scotland almost doubled their lead in the 22nd minute after Smith found McGeouch with a clever switch of play but the Celtic midfielder's shot was well blocked by Gomes.
Set-pieces had cost Scotland dearly against the USA and they almost suffered again when Canada defender Doneil Henry rose highest from a free-kick but he sent his header past the post.
On the hour mark the Canadians missed a golden opportunity to draw level when Riggi's pass found Keven Aleman with plenty of time and space inside the penalty area but the striker's weak effort was easily collected by goalkeeper Chris Kettings.
Scotland looked stronger in the closing stages and had a penalty claim when Jason Holt appeared to be dragged to the ground inside the box but referee Valle Carmona waved play on.
Smith and substitute Kenny McLean, on for Fraser Fyvie, both missed the target with efforts before they combined in the 90th minute to set up Watt to seal the win.

Our Volunteers Make a difference
Milford-Miami Twp. Branch
The Milford Miami Township Branch Library is very lucky to have a group of dedicated, hard working volunteers. The Volunteers of the Library group prepares for and runs our Used Book Fairs. The members of this group donate many hours of their time to make these events a fundraising success. The Volunteers of the Library have used the money raised from the Used Book Fairs to pay for books, programs, computers, and furniture. They are currently raising funds to purchase an electronic sign for the parking lot. The volunteers meet every Thursday at 11:00 am to sort and organize all of the items donated to the library. They have their official business meeting on the first Thursday of each month. A sub-committee researches and prices those books that are unique, collectible, or rare. Participation in this sub-committee is a great option for anyone not able to attend Thursday morning meetings.
The Milford Miami Township Branch also has a group of volunteers who help with shelving items and keeping items in order on the shelves. Last year, these volunteers donated 3,721 hours of their time to keep our shelves restocked with returned items in a timely manner.
The Milford Miami Township Branch staff is very appreciative of the volunteers taking the time to help us with these tasks. They have been a significant help in keeping the branch restocked and tidy. Susan Hutzel who has been a volunteer at the Milford Miami Township Branch since 2009 said, After my retirement, I decided to volunteer. The Milford Library was the best choice for me since my family has been patronizing this library for over 40 years. Besides helping the library, the library has also benefited me by expanding my reading choices and meeting new friends.
