Eve Samples: Life after a traumatic brain injury reveals new strengths
Rob Gangi woke up singing.
He emerged from his bedroom — the tidy room with the autographed Kiss memorabilia on the shelves — and belted out an old Italian tune.
"La nave partira." (The ship is leaving.)
He hadn't sung it for decades.
But there it was on a recent morning, fresh in his mind.
Life has been like that since the accident.
Long-ago memories have re-emerged almost effortlessly for Gangi, even as he struggles with certain words and phrases that used to be second nature.
The 43-year-old Palm City resident suffered a traumatic brain injury on Dec. 26, 2009 when he fell off a RipStik (a skateboard-like device) while visiting his parents in Morgantown, N.C.
He was in a coma for three weeks.
Doctors had to remove part of his skull to ease pressure from the hematoma that formed on the left side of his brain.
When Gangi finally regained consciousness, he was incoherent. A condition called aphasia made him speak gibberish.
As the nation watches Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords recover from a gunshot wound to the left side of her brain, it's hard not to draw comparisons.
Both have beat their doctors' prognoses.
And yet much remains uncertain for them.
"There are no two brain injuries alike, and what happens in the process of healing, nobody knows," said Miriam Gangi, Rob's mother.
She and her husband, Sam, are living with Rob and his wife, Karen, who is a second-grade teacher at Palm City Elementary. While Karen is at work, Miriam and Sam stay with Rob.
Rob often apologizes to his parents for this.
"I turned them upside down," he says on a recent afternoon at home with his parents.
His mother pats his arm and tells him to think nothing of it.
"We've done what any parent would do for their children," she tells him.
She's grateful Rob survived.
"They had given us no hope at all," she says of the doctors who treated him after the accident.
Tears well in her eyes, then she turns to Rob and tells him:
"You're a miracle."
He smiles, looking down at his Blackberry and thumbing through pictures of friends, family and his favorite rock musicians.
He stops on a photo of himself.
It was taken a week or so after he woke from the coma. In it, he is sitting in a wheelchair, with a tube down his throat.
He looks nothing like the healthy, happy man sitting next to his mother.
Now, Rob is not exactly his old self. He still has pain, especially in his back. Certain tasks remain difficult.
But he is Rob.
"He didn't lose his friendly, outgoing, funny personality," says Stacey Mathias, a real estate broker at Re/Max Masterpiece in Jensen Beach who used to work with Rob.
His friends rallied in huge numbers after the accident. Local real estate agent Patrick Stracuzzi hosted a fundraiser to help cover his medical bills.A Facebook page drew 7,000 people who wanted to pray for him.
"It just blows my mind how many people care," Rob says.
He is on a mission to thank as many of them as possible.
He is also anxious to find a new job.
But recovering from a brain injury is slow work. There's physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.
Karen is an optimist determined to help him flourish.
"There's so many things he still can do," she says.
Rob is receiving vocational and rehabilitative services from the state. He has an evaluation scheduled for next month to determine when he can return to work.
In the meantime, he cleans the house. He works out at the gym.
He fixes cars, though he can't drive them yet.
Last week, for the first time since the accident, he rode around the block on a bike.
"With a helmet," his mother adds.
His parents are protective, even as they are amazed by him.
In a sense, it's like they're raising their son again.
Early last year, Rob couldn't perform the most basic tasks. Tying his shoes. Getting dressed.
Now those skills are back. There's more work to be done, but Rob's positive outlook makes it less daunting.
"Not one single day has he ever said, 'Why me?' " Karen says. "Not one single day did he wake up in a bad mood."
This is their new life, and they are adjusting to it. Karen is grateful for the little things — like the fact that Rob is there to greet her when she gets home from work.
"I feel like nothing's different," Karen says, "but at the same time, it's all different."

Publisher:Simon & Schuster
Hiroshima was an event of such magnitude that it divided history into two periods, before the bomb, and after it--'Day One' of a new age, in which all life would be at risk. Here in all its drama is the untold story of the dawn of that new age--the creation and the use of the atomic bomb. Never before have all the strands--scientific, political, moral, military and human--been woven together with such authenticity and such skill as to provide the reader with a full understanding of how the bomb was created and why it was used. 'Day One' illuminates the scientific breakthroughs and the espionage: the manipulations and false assumptions by the highest policymakers on three continents; the extraordinary secret life in three American cities where 100,000 people worked to build the bomb--and the reality of Day One in Hiroshima, where 130,000 people died. Because of the decisions that were taken and the mistakes that were made, it is, for the first time, the complete unvarnished account of the greatest and most dangerous gamble in the long history of the human race.

Walt Disney World bakeries and restaurants offer a lot of decadent snacks, including cupcakes. Here's our list of the top Walt Disney World cupcakes, along with photos of our favorites. Not all Disney cupcakes and snacks are created equally–some are utterly amazing, and some taste like a grocery store "day old" manager's special–the only real thing in common among these snacks is that they're all expensive.
Whether you're paying for snacks out of pocket or using your precious Disney Dining Plan snack credits, you'll want to make sure the snack you're ordering is delicious. Since the sheer number of snacks can be overwhelming, and you can't sample them all (okay, you probably could, but it would take a lot of time and be a lot of work…fun, delicious work!), we're here to help by offering you our list of our top cupcakes at some of Walt Disney World's best bakeries!
The cupcake craze swept Walt Disney World a few years ago when we originally compiled this post, and is still going strong. We have updated this post when we've tried new cupcakes (most recently in January 2015), so check back for our new favorites periodically!
S'mores Cupcake: We were a bit skeptical of this one when we saw it, but it was so unique that we just had to try it. Although we love cupcakes, and we love s'mores, the two combined just didn't seem right. Sort of like combining ice cream and french fries (although we hear some people do that, too; what will they think of next?!). Both great on their own…but together?! Well, we are happy to report that not only does the S'mores Cupcake combine two things we love, but it combines them masterfully! The S'mores Cupcake is made of graham cracker-flavored cake with chocolate inside. The cake is perfectly moist, and not too dry. The cupcake is topped with melted browned marshmallow on top with a consistency that's more on par with regular frosting than it is marshmallow. It tastes like marshmallow, though, so all is well. On top of it all is a piece of Hershey's chocolate, which is the finishing touch on a really unique, and really delicious, cupcake! To our knowledge, this cupcake is only available at Roaring Fork at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.
Chocolate Cappuccino Cupcake: This one is an interesting creature and may not appeal to everyone (Sarah found it to be so-so, I loved it). The cupcake has a chocolate cake based which is moist and great-tasting on its own. Haven't lost anyone yet, have I? There are bits of toffee and chocolate on the outside, which are also great. Now, the divisive parts: the rich frosting and fill have a distinctive coffee flavor. Not just a subtle undertone or hint of coffee, but an actual coffee taste. I'm not normally a fan of coffee, but I found this cupcake to be exceptional, as the coffee flavor wasn't too much for me. Sarah thought it was a bit over the top, so your mileage may vary. We've only seen this cupcake at BoardWalk Bakery.
Oreo Bon Bon Cupcake: The Oreo Bon Bon Cupcake is composed of yellow vanilla cake and topped with a rich vanilla frosting. Oreo crumbles coat the frosting, and two Oreo Mickey Mouse ears top the cupcake. Up until this point, it's not all that special (I wish the vanilla frosting were a bit more complex), but once you get inside, you reach the real treat, as the cupcake is filled with delicious Oreo-laden buttercream fill that is absolutely out of this world. I wish I could have ordered a bowl of just that! Although, my waistline is thankful that such a dessert does not exist. This is available a few locations on property; we purchased ours at BoardWalk Bakery.
The Butterfinger Cupcake: Popularized by WDW Today podcast and its 2010 Butterfinger Cupcake-challenge, the reputation of this cupcake now precedes it. This fine specimen has proven unconquerable for many a Disney's Hollywood Studios guest, due to its massive size. We normally split this cupcake for that very reason (and because it's relatively rich). The Butterfinger Cupcake masterfully combines Chocolate cake, vanilla frosting, chocolate coating, and real Butterfinger crumbles. We've only seen this cupcake at Starring Rolls at Disney's Hollywood Studios (are you noticing a trend yet?), but there are rumors that it's available elsewhere. It's probably the most well-known of any Walt Disney World cupcake, but it doesn't quite make the #1 spot…
Chocolate Peppermint Cupcake with Candy Cane Sprinkles: This is the real, un-disputed #1 Walt Disney World cupcake. Unfortunately, it's only available seasonally. This cupcake is truly a work of art. We discovered it in December 2011 at Contempo Cafe, and made a special trip back in January 2012 hoping it would still be there. It was! The base is chocolate cake that is perfectly moist (thanks to, well, we'll get to that in a minute…) and it's covered in perfectly-flavored peppermint buttercream (the peppermint flavor isn't so strong that it'll clear your sinus, but it isn't wimpy, either–it's perfect) that tastes like a candy cane in frosting form. There are candy canes around the outside that taste like real candy cane, and it's all topped with two zebra sticks to garnish this masterpiece! Oh, I forgot about the best part, inside the cupcake is a fair amount of rich chocolate syrup. This is easily the best cupcake we've ever had anywhere, not just at Walt Disney World. Our tip: don't share.
Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcake: Quite frequently, cupcakes lack balance. Too much thought and effort are spent on the savory frosting on top and the cake is an afterthought…a dry, sad afterthought. While the Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcake is certainly top-heavy with its exquisite layering of thick cream cheese frosting with a center of actual cheesecake (center of the frosting, not the cupcake), it's surprisingly not lacking in balance. The red velvet cake holds its own, offering the perfect compliment to the cheesecake and cream cheese frosting that attempts to collapse this light cake under its heavy weight. This cupcake is a real masterpiece! We've always purchased ours at Starring Rolls at Disney's Hollywood Studios, but we've seen it elsewhere (can't remember where, though!).
Monkey Cupcake: I have no idea if this is the actual name of the cupcake (pretty sure it's not), but this cupcake at Animal Kingdom is huge and quite the value. It consists of white and dark chocolate for the monkey's face, which sits on a mound of butter cream. Since all of that is so heavy, the cupcake itself is in an actual cup. The chocolate base is good, albeit a bit dense without any filling.
Best of the Rest – Some other great cupcakes we've tried include: Marble Cupcake (Starring Rolls–solid cupcake, but not amazing), Carrot Cake Cupcake (Roaring Fork–this would've made Sarah's list; I thought it was too dry), Peanut Butter Cupcake (BoardWalk Bakery–this would be very high on my list, but Sarah wasn't much of a fan), and "Plain" Cupcakes (Main Street Bakery–they have an actual name, but I don't know what it is). It's also worth noting that we, sadly, have not consumed every single cupcake sold on Walt Disney World property. We've heard a lot of good things about the cupcakes at Babycakes NYC, but we haven't tried any of these; so don't avoid them simply because they haven't made our list!
Here are some other photos of Disney cupcakes we tried in 2013 and 2014 since we originally wrote this post …try not to drool on your keyboard:

So my comment has nothing to do with cupcakes but I thought I would share it here…
So last night my fiance and I watch "Tin Tin" and I don't know why, especially since I have never met you in person, but "Tin Tin" reminded me so much of you, which is good thing by the way. I really loved the character. I felt your fun remarks and quirkiness fit well into the movie character. Perhaps for fun you can get a dog called "snowy" and work him into some of your posts, he could be your service dog
How about BabyCakes NYC vegan and gluten free cupcakes? We're looking forward to trying them on our visit!
OMG! They were great esp. for gluten free. Red velvet was good, carrot also but the strawberry shortcake was by far my fave I had it twice rather than try a new one.
We tried the gluten free cupcakes from BabyCakes last year. We tried four different flavors and they were all awful. It was the first time I've ever thrown cupcakes away!
I have obviously been remiss in my cupcake consumption at the World. Goal for next trip: eat more cupcakes! Thanks for the suggestions!
Yummy, yummy, yummy!!! I love that you put the chocolate peppermint cupcake as #1 – I am in total agreement!!
You are killing me with these! I must have them right now!
Guess I will have to wait 18 more days!! The agony!!
Sadly I never got the peppermint one it looks great but I'd say Oreo was #1 & Peanut Butter second. Babycakes Had great gluten free ones also.
Planning my first trip to WDW for the fall and I'm super excited about it. Your blog has been instrumental in figuring out what I need to do, pack, and plan as well as fueling my ever growing excitement to visit the happiest place on earth.
That said, I have a few food allergies and wondered if you knew of some tips on perusing the parks with food issues? I have read up on where is safe for me to eat, etc, but I was curious if you've seen the cast members work in person in regards to dealing with people with allergies.
Yes, the CMs/servers take this very seriously & will meet your every need (& then some)! One of the things I love about Disney!
Great list. My all time favorite is the chocolate peanut butter cupcake at Starring Rolls. But let's be honest. It hard to make a bad cupcake IMO.
If you ever decide to visit Babycakes NYC, make sure you visit Ghirardelli's while you're in the area! Best ice cream/chocolate in Walt Disney World. Bold claim, but I really think you should check it out!
I have only tried the butterfinger cupcake. I regrettably ate it as a dessert after a lunch of chicken fingers and fries at Backlot Express. I didnt realize it was a meal in itself. I very much look forward to trying the rest on this list!!! Just not after a meal!!!
I had one of the Butterfinger ones recently… they now have caramel inside the cake!
Oh the butterfinger cupcake! It is my FAVORITE! Although that chocolate peppermint one needs to be found ASAP. Come on Winter! We found the butterfinger cupcake at Disney Quest in downtown Disney last August. Thanks for your amazing blog!
My vote goes to any of the ones from Karamell Kuche in Germany. Perfect snack when you're waiting for Illuminations to start
You can also get the chocolate cappuccino cupcake at Pizza Planet in DHS. I am not a coffee fan, but like you, I love that cupcake. Delicious!
I Love your list, but I have one that I simply have to recommended. The Cotton-Top Tamarin cupcakes from "Island Java" on Discovery Island inside Disney's Animal Kingdom Park are to die for. They are inspired by the Cotton-Top Tamarin Monkey that are right in front of the Tree of Life. The cupcake has the a candy face of the monkey and tons of vanilla frosting over a chocolate cupcake. The name of the coffee kiosk changes all the time, but it is in between Island Mercantile and Outfitters, right next to the Tipboard. Love your blog!

Although I haven't read through all the responses here, I wanted to share that my favorite cupcake is the seasonal Darth Vader chocolate cupcake at Hollywood Studios. It seriously takes 2 people to eat it and is only available during Star Wars Weekends (this year it was available, although limited, on "May the Fourth"). You have to like chocolate, but it is amazing.
I'm thinking you might need a full-time dessert-tasting assistant during your WDW travels… me!
I tried the butter finger cupcake from all my friends recommendations and I really was not impressed maybe it was just me.I thought the best cupcake was from Animal Kingdom the white chocolate elephant cupcake was so tasty that my husband who does not have a sweet tooth tried to take it from me it was so delicious!
My favorite is the gingerbread cupcakes that I had in December 2012. Can't remember where they were though! I think it was at Hollywood Studios.
I was just going to say the gingerbread one we got at planet pizza (i think?) at Hollywood studios was amazing!!
Totally drooling over the pictures in this post! I had a fantastic red velvet cupcake at Captain Cook's last month while staying at the Poly. It wasn't particularly creative or imaginative but boy, was it good.
We will be at WDW in November and definitely want to try the chocolate peppermint cupcake. Do you have any suggestions where we will be able to find it?
I've just started perusing your site after finding it recently – terrific stuff and love your photos!
I had to comment on this cupcake post: Our kids (7 & 10) have severe nut allergies, which usually takes dessert off the table for us at virtually all of the Disney (and any other) locations.
Disney is great about sending chefs out to provide info on the products, and often offered us a packaged cookie that was safe in place of regular desserts.
When we spoke to to the chef at Be Our Guest, he told us that in that particular restaurant all of the cupcakes were made on site and no nut ingredients were used in their cooking or preparation areas SO DESSERT WAS ON BABY.
Gets me get all verklempt just thinking how excited the kids were. (Just the day before was the first time we all had "ice cream" together as a family outside of home, with Dole Whip as a terrific stand in.)
We used our stockpiled snack dining credits to get one of each cupcake and we ate them round-robin. Everyone was so psyched!
I think the consensus was that the Strawberry Cream Cheese Cupcake ruled. Lemon-Raspberry was nice, Triple Chocolate was overkill. Except to my son, who started snarling as we reached for it. 😉
So, anyone with nut allergy issues, I suggest you check with the chef that nothing has changed and go for it!
A photo of our excited cupcake girl.
Hi, just wondering if anyone knows where we can get the Minnie Mouse cupcake from? It looks delicious! My daughter would LOVE it, so would Mummy;) Thanks
Great post! WDW has some amazing cupcakes, but like you said- they are definitely NOT all created equal. I have had amazing & I have had incredibly disappointing cupcakes.
I have read your blog for years but never actually comment. Just wanted to add a quick note for people who have gluten or wheat allergies…
I was SO sad when I was diagnosed with a wheat allergy right before a WDW trip. Luckily Babycakes was still open at Downtown Disney at that point and I had my first taste of gluten free heaven. You can still get Babycakes products in Animal Kingdom where they have the ONLY allergy kiosk at Disney. And the hours can be a bit sporadic with them closing before the park so go EARLY. They have a great little 4 pack of GF/Vegan/Allergy friendly cupcakes. They also have incredibly delicious donuts… I cried, not joking, but good food makes me emotional.

NEW YORK -- The phrase "less is more" doesn't always ring true in the playoffs, where the hits are super-sized and the effort displayed by players is maxed out more often than not.
But less has been more when it comes to Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk when he has shot the puck. Surprisingly, he's found success by scaling back his signature booming slap shot and instead settling for quicker, more accurate wrist shots against the Rangers. It's allowed the Bruins D-man to hit the net much more often with his shots, picking his spots rather than letting go a heavy slap shot that can sometimes veer high and wide away from the goalie.
The wrist shot was exactly what did the job from the right point with Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton standing in front of Henrik Lundqvist in Game 3. It made its way to the back of the net and put the Bruins on the board with the game-tying score in the third period. It was Boychuk's fourth goal in 10 Stanley Cup playoff games this spring, and sparked the Bruins to a 2-1 win.
"Sometimes it's hard to get that slapper off. It takes time [to release], and it's a little bit more accurate if you use a wrist shot, or so I've been told," said Boychuk. "You've just got to hit the net, especially with guys getting to the front of the net and doing such a good job of screening."
Boychuk has 32 shots on net in Boston's 10 playoff games after putting up just a single goal on 75 shots on net during the regular season. To put his scoring in perspective, the 29-year-old has 14 career goals in 246 regular season games, and an amazing 10 career goals in 55 career Stanley Cup playoff games.
The term "playoff player" comes to mind for No. 55, who has clearly dialed up his game several notches from the grinding, wearying 48-game regular season that held so many Bruins players in check. Boychuk is also tied for fifth among NHL players with 41 hits during the playoffs, and has literally been the human embodiment of the Black and Gold's physicality against both Toronto and New York. He still holds a wide lead among NHL players with 37 blocked shots in the postseason.
The best part about Boychuk offensive surge: Ask him about the four goals, and he's thinking about the four posts that he's hit in the playoffs, including a pair that could have captured Game 1 before Brad Marchand's overtime game-winner.
He's not even close to satisfied.
"It's nice to get the goals, but it's way better to get the wins," said Boychuk. "You want to just do anything you can to help the team, and so far it's been going in. Sometimes that doesn't happen, but you just have to keep shooting the puck. You'll eventually get rewarded."
Boychuk is finally seeing his just rewards with the best stretch of hockey he's ever played at a time when it matters most.

Peanut Butter Bliss Balls
This is one of those recipes that originated in my hippy days in the Kootenays of British Columbia, Canada.
We had a variety of flavours of 'Bliss Balls'; this was a favorite. It did have lots of honey in it though which I reduced the quantity. You can replace it with rice syrup. Also, it had wheat germ in it which I replaced to make it gluten free.
3/4 cup honey
1 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup coconut
1 cup toasted sunflower seeds
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds (for rolling)
1/4 cup currants
- Blend honey and peanut butter.
- Mix in remaining ingredients except sesame seeds.
- Form into 1 inch balls.
- Roll balls in sesame seeds.
- Set on a plate or cookie sheet and let them form for 2 hours.
- Then store in an airtight container, each layer on parchment paper, in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Artist Bio
What is worship at its most fundamental, other than humanity's response to God? What always begins with a revelation of God and then manifests itself in the response to that revelation – is fully realized in what we have come to know as worship. As Phil Wickham puts it, "this revelation demands a response." In many ways, this album gives voice to our collective response to the many facets of God's love – His powerful creativity, His promises to us in scripture and ultimately His sacrifice for us on the cross.
What we do in the face of these revelations is our worship and our worship is Response.
There has always been a thread of worship that has run through Wickham's previous three albums, but on his fourth he was compelled to write and create from this concept of worship. Each of the eleven tracks provides the listener with a song that in any circumstance seeks to give voice to our acceptance of the myriad of ways in which God loves. In the same way that the Psalms offer expressions of joy, sorrow, repentance, hope and victory, Response gives voice to our appreciation and adoration of God in every chapter and page of life. "When I see the different aspects of who God is in different situations of life – a little glimpse of His love in how my wife and I continue to grow in our love for each other, His goodness when I find out I have a baby daughter on the way, His grace and forgiveness when I mess up for the hundredth time – my response to that love can be seen as jumping for joy where other times I respond by saying, 'You are Holy and I am not', humbled and falling on my face."
These varying expressions of worship play out in each of the individual tracks. "Heaven Fall Down" begins the album as a humble yet desperate cry out to God to reveal Himself to us, making his presence known. "At Your Name (Yahweh, Yahweh)," the album's first single, is a testament to the power of the Creator and paints a picture of creation bowing at the sound of His name. ("Lord of all the earth we shout your name, filling up the skies with endless praise.") "Joy" expresses the hope that we receive from God's unending faithfulness and grace, which gives believers a hope in their hearts that surpasses all sadness. ("When I think of all You've done, my heart is overcome with – joy, joy!")
Having worked solely with longtime friend and producer Pete Kipley on all of his previous albums, Wickham decided to invite another producer into the process. Having respected producer Brown Bannister co-produce the album with he and Kipley was one of many decisions and intentional steps that Wickham took in an effort to stay true to his theme of the record – voicing not just his own response but our collective worship to God. "This record, more than any other of mine, was created for people to sing. I didn't want this to be simply Phil Wickham's Response To God, but instead songs that would invite other people to sing along with me and so I wanted to include a lot of people in the process." This went beyond just who was sitting in the producer's chair. "There are more musicians playing on the record than I normally work with – multiple drummers, bass players, etc and I wrote with more people on this record hoping to have these songs be an expression of everybody's heart not just mine."
In the end, Response, achieves what Wickham set out to accomplish - a collection of songs that give expression to our love and adoration of the Creator of the universe, our Savior and Lord, the God of the New and Old Testament – Yahweh and Emmanuel. In every circumstance we will praise and worship our King who has revealed Himself to us. This is our response.

Ukrainian forces moved in on a pro-Russian stronghold Thursday, killing several militants in a firefight at a roadside checkpoint, but quickly halted their advance after Russia activated the thousands of troops it has massed just across the border.
Moscow's saber-rattling--launching new land and air military drills--left Ukraine's new government in a quandary: whether to risk pressing ahead with what it calls its antiterrorist operation in the restive east, or risk more bloodshed and provoking an invasion.
Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov, who had ordered the military operation to restart on Tuesday, vowed it would continue even as a security official in Kiev said the operation in the eastern city of Slovyansk had been paused for reworking. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry gave Moscow 48 hours to explain the military exercises along the border.
The Pentagon called those drills "exactly the opposite of what we have been calling on the Russians to do."
U.S. officials said they didn't know if they meant Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to intervene militarily in Ukraine. Some officials said they think it is a show of strength to reinforce his position before moving to reduce tensions and solidify his gains.
"We see movement, motion and activity," said a senior military official. "It looks like muscle flexing by Moscow. But is it more than that?"
President Barack Obama said Thursday in Tokyo that Russia hasn't been abiding by the spirit or letter of the international agreement reached a week ago in Geneva and intended to reduce tensions. Mr. Obama reiterated warnings that the U.S. is prepared to impose additional sanctions in days. Secretary of State John Kerry said Ukraine was holding up its end of the deal, but that Russia hasn't taken a "single concrete step."
Mr. Putin's tone Thursday was less strident than that of his foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, a day before.
Mr. Putin said the use of the Ukrainian army against its own citizens would be "a very serious crime," but he stopped short of threatening military action. Mr. Lavrov had said an attack on Russians in Ukraine would be seen as an attack on Russia itself and require a response.
Despite that threat, Thursday marked the deadliest engagement yet between the military and the pro-Russian forces that seized control in 10 cities early this month.
Ukrainian military units moved in strongest on Slovyansk--a city that lies at the heart of the local insurgency. The Interior Ministry said they overran three checkpoints leading into the city, sparking gunbattles that left up to five militants dead.
Militants gave varying numbers of dead to Russian media, from two or three to as many as seven.
Footage broadcast from the scene showed thick columns of smoke rising from burning tires that had made up the roadblocks. Armored personnel carriers flying Ukrainian flags stood nearby and helicopters flew overhead.
Police said they had also taken control of a government building in the port city of Mariupol that had been in the hands of separatists since April 13, and that they had repulsed an attack on a military base in Artemovsk.
In response, Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said military exercises involving land and air forces had begun along the border.
Russia has had tens of thousands of troops massed there since last month and has threatened to intervene in eastern Ukraine if it felt ethnic Russians there were under threat.

UL Lafayette
Preview 2007
- ULL Defense
2007 UL Lafayette Preview |
2007 ULL Offense Preview
2007 ULL Depth Chart
What you need to know: New defensive coordinator Kevin
Fouqueir won't change too much from one of the Sun Belt's better
defenses. Five starters return, along with a few others with
starting experience, to form a solid run defense that needs to
be tighter against the pass. The secondary will give up
completions, but it's not going to get beaten too often. The
front seven should be great with a nice blend of talents and
depth to form a good rotation almost everywhere. If ULL doesn't
lead the league in run defense, it'll finish second.
Tackles: Brenton
Burkhalter, 61
Rodney Hardeway, 5
Interceptions: Gerren Blount, 2
Star of the defense: Senior SS Lamar Morgan
Player that has to step up and become a star: Senior CB
Jarrett Jones
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore DT LaQuincy Williams
Best pro prospect: Morgan
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Morgan, 2) LB Brenton
Burkhalter, 3) DE Rodney Hardeway
Strength of the defense: Linebacker, safety
Weakness of the defense:
Pass defense, stars up front
Defensive Line
Projected Starters: Two starters return to a good line
that held tough against the run in Sun Belt play. The main man up front
is 6-4, 299-pound senior DT Korey Raymond, who originally signed
with Ole Miss before going the JUCO route to ULL. He finished last
season with 35 tackles and a tackle for loss as the big anchor for the
run defense. and now he has to do more to collapse the pocket and make
plays in the backfield.
Next to Raymond will be 275-pound sophomore
LaQuincy Williams, who was decent in a limited role making nine
tackles and 2.5 sacks. He's a quick tackle who should shine in Sun Belt
253-pound senior Rodney Hardeway returns at one end after making
39 tackles and a team-leading five sacks and nine tackles for loss. He
came on in the second half of 2005, and then took over the full-time
role last year to become the team's most consistent pass rusher. While
he's not a special All-Sun Belt type of player, he'll be good enough to
make offensive coordinators worry.
On the other side will be
6-3, 245-pound senior Greg Hathorn taking over for Tony Hills.
Hathorn is a former linebacker who made himself into a defensive end in
the JUCO ranks. Last year he made 16 tackles and a sack as a backup, and
now he has to use his quickness to become more of a pass rusher.
Projected Top Reserves: Sophomores Hall Davis
and Chris Lanaux will combine for the backup end job behind
Hardeway, while promising 6-5, 237-pound redshirt freshman Terrell
Richardson will push for time behind Hathorn. Lanaux played in every
game last season making four tackles with a recovered fumble, but Davis,
the quicker of the two, should make more of an impact.
327-pound junior
Seth Adams provides the bulk on the inside behind Raymond, but he
doesn't have much in the way of experience only seeing time in six games
last year and failing to make a tackle. He does have a blocked kick to
his credit. 6-3, 247-pound redshirt freshman Sharrick Moore is an
undersized, quick tackle option behind Williams.
Watch Out For ... the overall play of the line to be
better than the parts. This isn't the the most talented line in the Sun
Belt, but it'll be effective against the run and quick into the
Strength: Stopping the run. Raymond and Williams
form a nice tackle tandem that should clog things up against most Sun
Belt teams, while Hardeway and Hathorn have good size on the outside.
Weakness: Consistent play in the backfield. Sacks weren't a
problem, but making plays behind the line was . That was sort of by
design as the coaching staff didn't sent the house to try to be
disruptive, but now more individuals have to make plays on their own. As
a team, ULL only made 53 tackles for loss.
Outlook: Solid, if not spectacular. If the young
backups can quickly shine through to provide a rotation, and if one of
them, like Davis, becomes a good pass rushing specialist, this will be a
strong line that should hold up against anyone in the league.
Rating: 4.5
Projected Starters: The linebacking corps welcomes back
leading tackler and leader, junior Brenton Burkhalter, who made
61 tackles and recovered two fumbles. He's missed a little time in each
of the last two seasons taking a pounding on his smallish 6-0, 221-pound
frame, but he's tough as nails in the middle and as consistent as they
6-0, 217-pound junior Antwyne Zanders is back on the
outside after finishing fifth on the team with 43 tackles and four
tackles for loss. He sat out all of 2005 to become academically
eligible, and then he came out roaring making nine stops in the loss to
Texas A&M.
On the other side is 227-pound senior Mark Risher to
finally start after being in and out last year with a concussion
problem. He was growing into a possible star of the defense before last
season, and now he should be one of the team's leading tacklers if he
can stay healthy.
Projected Top Reserves: Senior Tre Green
was all set to be a starter last year on the outside after starting most
of his sophomore season, but he ended up having an assortment of issues
over the last two years, was never healthy throughout last season and
finished up making just 13 tackles. He has the speed to become a major
factor if he gets time behind Zanders.
210-pound junior Jonathan
Vance is a smaller, quicker option on the outside behind Risher. He
has to be ready to step in at a moment's notice if Risher has concussion
issues again, and he should be ready after seeing a little bit of time
last year making four tackles.
6-2, 255-pound redshirt freshman Fred
Davis is the biggest player in the corps, but he's also one of the
greenest. He didn't play football until his senior year in high school
and is still learning the ins and outs. He'll start out behind
Burkhalter in the middle.
Watch Out For ... the projected backups to play a
bigger role than most reserves. Vance, Green and Davis could form a nice
starting trio and could ended up pushing hard for playing time in a good
Strength: Options. With six good linebackers, and
a seventh on the way in top freshman recruit Richard Brooks, the corps
has more than enough players to keep everyone fresh.
Weakness: Pass rushers. Don't expect the outside guys to do much
in the way of getting into the backfield. Their job will be to stop the
run first and foremost, while occasionally getting behind the line.
Outlook: It's a good corps with a nice blend of
talents. It'll have problems against the power running teams, and it's
not going to do a whole bunch against the pass, but it'll more than hold
its own in Sun Belt play.
Rating: 4.5
Defensive Backs
Projected Starters: The safeties will be the strength
early on thanks to the return of 6-2, 210-pound senior strong safety
Lamar Morgan. Back fully healthy from a knee injury of a few years
ago, he's got the speed to play free safety and the hitting ability to
shine at strong safety, where he'll likely end up playing. He made 53
tackles last season highlighted by a 14-tackle day against Texas A&M, to
go along with five broken up passes. He'll play like a fourth
Sophomore Gerren Blount isn't all that big a 5-10 and
177 pounds, but he's a speedy player who can hit making 41 tackles and a
team-leading two interceptions. Expect him to be the team's top
The corners are a little more suspect, but they're not bad. 6-2,
192-pound senior Kyle Ward has the size, he has the track-star
speed, but he doesn't have top-shelf cover skills. He made 42 tackles
and three tackles last season, and now he'll battle to keep the starting
job on the left side.
5-10, 190-pound senior Jarrett Jones will
start on the right after missing all of last year. He's a good tackler,
but he has to prove he can stay healthy. He has the range to be a top
nickel back if needed.
Projected Top Reserves: Senior Torres Kingsby
isn't as big or as fast as Ward, but he's a fantastic tackler with
plenty of experience. He made 26 stops and an interception in a reserve
role. Now he might be the starter on the left side.
The fastest of the ULL defensive backs is sophomore Junior Jean with 4.45 speed.
He's still about a year away from being a starter, but he'll play a key
role behind Jones on the right side.
6-1, 170-pound redshirt freshman
Maurice Rolle is the future of the secondary at free safety, and he
might turn out to be too good to keep off the field. He's a great hitter
with the range of a corner.
Senior Derek Keyes isn't big at only
5-9 and 175 pounds, but he can pop making 17 tackles in just six games
last season having various problems with injuries. He'll combine with
speedy redshirt freshman Daylon McCoy to play behind Morgan.
Watch Out For ... Morgan to take his game to another
level and become an All-Sun Belt caliber player. He's been around long
enough to know what he's doing, and he's big enough to be an
intimidating force.
Strength: Safeties. Morgan and Blount will be one
of the best safety pairs in the Sun Belt, while Keyes, McCoy and Rolle
can all play.
Weakness: Making big plays. ULL only came up with six
interceptions last season and got picked apart by accurate short to
midrange passers. The corners have the experience and a little bit of
speed, but they have to be more aggressive when the ball's in the air.
Outlook: The gameplan will stay the same as it has
over the last few years: give up underneath passes, don't get beaten
deep, and try to come up with the one big stop when needed. Efficient
quarterbacks will do whatever they want to against this group, but the
bombers won't find too much success.
Rating: 4.5
Special Teams
Projected Starters:
Drew Edmiston is back after surprisingly great freshman season
hitting 11 of 14 field goal attempts while showing good range hitting a
51-yard bomb against Houston. Talk about a consistent deep leg, he
connected on all seven of his field goal attempts from 40 to 49 yards.
He'll also be the backup punter behind redshirt freshman Tyler
Albrecht, who should be an upgrade over Brit Framel. While Albrecht
doesn't have a huge leg, he should be able to average over 40 yards a
kick without a problem.
Jason Chery, who averaged just 17.2 yards
per try, and Louis Lee will be the main kick returner,
while Phillip Nevels will take over the punt return duties from
Michael Adams. Adams averaged 7.4 yards per return, while Nevels
averaged 4.1.
Watch Out For ... Edmiston to be used more and more.
With his leg, consistency and range, the coaching staff will trust him
even more. He only attempted one field goal over the final five games
(and made it).
Strength: Edmiston. In what's sure to be a tight
Sun Belt race, he could be the difference between a losing season and a
Sun Belt title.
Weakness: The return game. It hasn't been a plus over the last
few years, while the coverage units have been a real problem. Someone
has to emerge as a viable, dangerous kick returner.
Outlook: The kicking game will be solid as long as
Albrecht can air it out on a regular basis, but the return game needs
more pop.

MARGARET WARNER: Is all the recent focus on training students in basic math and reading skills paying off? The 2003 National Assessment of Education Progress, or NAEP, test scores for fourth and eighth graders were released today, and the results were mixed. There was no significant change in reading scores, but math scores have improved. In 1996, 37 percent of fourth graders and 39 percent of eighth graders were not meeting even basic grade requirements in math. That dropped to 23 percent of fourth graders and 32 percent of eighth graders this year. Further up the achievement scale, only 19 percent of both grades were proficient in 1996 in math. Now, 28 percent of the fourth graders and 24 percent of the eighth graders meet that standard.
This is the first year that all 50 states and the District of Columbia took part and thus can be compared. The gap is huge. For example, in fourth grade math, New Hampshire was at the top with 43 percent proficient or above, 44 percent at basic level, and just 13 percent below basic. Contrast that with the two bottom scorers. Mississippi had just 17 percent of fourth graders proficient in math, 45 percent at the basic level, and 38 percent below. And in Washington, D.C., only 7 percent were proficient, 29 percent at basic level, and 64 percent below basic.
For more on these results and their significance, we're joined by Lynn Olson, senior editor at Education Week. And welcome, Lynn.
LYNN OLSON: Thank you.
MARGARET WARNER: On balance, how do you read this? Is this an encouraging report?
LYNN OLSON: Well, certainly in math it is encouraging. I think what you're seeing is a continuation of a decade-long trend of slow, steady improvements in math scores. In reading, the results are pretty stubborn. Reading scores have been fluctuating by about four points up and down since the test was first given in 1992.
MARGARET WARNER: Help us, before we go on, to explain these… just briefly these basic standards. I mean, there's below basic and there's basic. Then, there's sort of above basic, then there's proficient and then there's advanced.
LYNN OLSON: NAEP has three achievement levels: Basic, proficient and advanced. And those are set… the proficient level, which is the one people talk about most, represents solid performance over challenging subject matter. So it's a high standard, and in fact, some people have complained that it may be too ambitious compared to where states may be setting the bar for proficiency.
MARGARET WARNER: All right, now, go back to this trend that you had noticed, that is apparent in these numbers– that is that math has been improving but reading, not. What do educators say about why that is?
LYNN OLSON: Well, one of the things people have been saying to us is that math is something you really learn in school, and reading is something that children learn not only in school, but also out of school. Are they read books to at home? Are they in a literature-rich environment? And so it's harder in some respects to see the same sorts of changes in reading. We also know that there are a lot of efforts to improve early reading now at both the state and the national level. But those are fairly recent, and we may not be seeing the results of those efforts in the test scores yet.
MARGARET WARNER: The other trend I noticed was that, where there is improvement, particularly in math, the improvement is great, or has been greater at the lower grade, at fourth grade than it is at eighth grade. Why is that?
LYNN OLSON: That's also very typical, that what we've tended to see is that it's easier to show improvement in the early grades, much harder in the middle school level, and particularly at the high school level, where there's some concern that 12th graders who take the national NAEP may not have much motivation to take it seriously and to do well.
MARGARET WARNER: This may be the time for you to explain really what these NAEP tests are and how do they differ from the state tests that we really hear about all the time, the ones mandated under No Child Left Behind that states, I think, are giving every single year to every single child?
LYNN OLSON: NAEP is often called the nation's report card because it's really the only national barometer we have of how students perform in the core academic subjects based on a representative sample, nationally and now in every state. About 340,000 students took the test in each subject this year. That's different than the test that states give, where every state selects a different test, sets a different cut score for what "proficient" means, has a different set of content standards that those tests are based on.
MARGARET WARNER: And is it the case that those states are going to have their state test scores now, and levels, like proficiency, measured against the NAEP results?
LYNN OLSON: Well, that's an interesting question. There's nothing in federal law that says the government is going to compare the two, but NAEP is really the only independent measure out there to which you can compare all these state results. Under the No Child Left Behind law, for the first time, every state has to participate in NAEP. Every state also has to bring 100 percent of their students up to the proficient level on state tests using the state's definition of proficiency, within the decade. So clearly this is an independent measure that people are going to be looking at to try to make sense of state results.
MARGARET WARNER: Now, as we pointed out, this is also the first time that states have been compared. As I recall, members of Congress were very opposed to these state-by-state comparisons.
LYNN OLSON: Right, this isn't the first time they've been compared. It's the first time that every single state is required to participate. When NAEP started in 1969, it was very explicit on the part of Congress, on the part of the states that they didn't want to be able to compare results across states. In 1990, they started to do a voluntary state sample. But in past years, no more than 41 states and the District of Columbia have ever participated — at most, and it's been lower than that in some years. So this is the first time we really have all states on board.
MARGARET WARNER: And as we showed, the gap certainly between the highest and the lowest is tremendous. Now, what ramifications is that going to have?
LYNN OLSON: Well, you know, it's hard to interpret gaps across states, in part because people wonder whether the samples of students who take the tests with accommodations, the samples who were excluded differ by state.
MARGARET WARNER: I'm sorry. You have to explain that term.
LYNN OLSON: Sure. NAEP selects a sample of students to take the test in every state. Some students need special test materials or procedures to be able to take the test– for example, more time or a large-print edition of the text. There are there some accommodations that NAEP doesn't allow. You can't read the reading test out loud to students. Some states let their reading tests be read allowed to students, so those students fall out of the NAEP sample.
MARGARET WARNER: So you're saying, in other words, though there are national standards here and it's graded nationally, in some states, the pool is a little different.
LYNN OLSON: The pool may be a little different, and states often talk about that when you try to compare these results across states. I think what's interesting, as you look across states, is not only how many students score proficient in one state versus another, but also what do the gaps look like in each state between various groups of students and what's the trend line like over time? Is the state making progress compared to where it started on these tests?
MARGARET WARNER: I'm sure you've looked more closely at the data. What does the data say about the success of efforts to close the achievement gap between, say, white students and minority students?
LYNN OLSON: I think that we're seeing progress in some states. Nationally, there was a lot of gap-closing; then it stopped for a while. What you're seeing now is, in a couple of states certainly, fewer and fewer African Americans, Hispanic, low-income students scoring in that below basic level, and that's good news, is that states are starting to bring up the bottom performers in those groups.
MARGARET WARNER: Finally and briefly, there have been a lot of reports in the news lately, I think more about the state tests, raising questions about how credible they are. For instance, reports that some states lowered their standards so more students would be declared proficient, or some states holding back students so they wouldn't go into the next pool, the next grade, testing grade. Is this… are these results subject to any kind of manipulation like that?
LYNN OLSON: These results really are not, and that's one reason why people are going to look at the percent of students who score proficient on a state test and the percent who score proficient on NAEP. Now if the percentage who score proficient on a state test is way higher than the percentage score proficient on NAEP, that doesn't necessarily mean that the state's definition of proficient is wrong and NAEP's definition is right. But it does mean that people should ask questions about how the state has set that bar and what it means.
MARGARET WARNER: Lynn Olson, thank you.

There have been simultaneous expressions of jubilation from pilot associations and of horror from airline management on the publication of new recommendations to the European Aviation Safety Agency on modifying its existing flight time limitation (FTL) regulations.
The Association of European Airlines says that, if implemented fully, the recommended changes would require the airlines to employ 15-20% more pilots.
The AEA says the science behind the EASA-commissioned independent scientific study is "flawed" and is not supported by the delivery of "safe operation over many years and millions of flights". Carried out by Switzerland-based aviation consultancy Moebus according to a requirement that EASA should undertake a "scientific and medical" review of the existing FTLs, the report recommends considerable modification to the existing European Joint Aviation Requirements on FTL (JAR FTL).
The recommendations mostly affect the extremes of the rules: those affecting the longest duties - currently allowed to be up to 13-14h, the more arduous multi-sector duty periods, night flights or those that start or end at night, and those that cross multiple time zones. Under these circumstances, the recommendations would - if adopted - reduce duty hours and/or increase rest time.
On very long-haul flights, the requirement for an augmented crew would kick in at lower hours. Another factor is the recommendation to tighten the restrictions on maximum duty totals over consecutive weeks or months, preventing employers from exceeding a safe rate of working by using up a pilot's whole allowance for a month or a year in a far shorter period.
The International Federation of Airline Pilots' Associations praises the report as recognising that fatigue is dangerous. The next step is for the European Commission and EASA to frame the new FTLs for consultation.

43 year old woman | Pasadena, CA, USA | Seeking men 42-54 within 25 miles
Although I can start off saying that I am a very honest and loyal woman, and I love to have fun especially with someone as sarcastically humorous as myself, which is true, but I don't want to get into the same old rut in describing characteristics that should be seen in person. A person can say anything they want until their face turns blue, but it is in the actions of others that you see what they are truly about. I will not respond if you do not have a photo and players.....move on! I am only looking to find one man with honor, loyalty, and truth! All others.....don't waste your time or mine!! If you are interested in getting to know me then read on. I am driven to make a difference in my life, my son and daughter's life, and those around me that are less fortunate. Animals are also a big part of my life. If you're not an animal lover, then I am not the woman for you. My ultimate goal is to earn my doctorate specializing in non-profits. I hope to open shelters for battered men, women, and children. I am a loving and passionate person especially with my loved ones; including my friends. Family means everything to me. Also, I'm humble and modest with my life because what God has blessed me with today can be gone tomorrow. If I have piqued your interest send me an email and I will respond. What I am looking for in a partner is humor (sarcasm is good), laughter, confidence, comfortable letting the kid at heart out to play, kind, gentle, and content with having a meal, movie, and me at home! :)~ A gentleman that is old fashioned yet patient in a woman that is independent is a plus. Good luck in your search for your true love!!

Alex Rios is not pleased with Chris Perez's fist pumps
May 4, 2012, 9:12 AM EDT
Chris Perez came on to get the save in last night's Indians-White Sox game. He closed it out with a strikeout of A.J. Pierzynski and by inducing a groundout by Alex Rios. Then, as closers are wont to do, he gesticulated and emoted some, with a few fist pumps and huzzahs. This did not please Rios:
After the borderline strike to Pierzynski went his way, Perez celebrated with a strong fist pump on the mound. When Rios made contact on his game-ending play, Perez once again started yelling, and Rios didn't understand what he was doing or appreciate the actions. He had more than a few words for Perez as he was running back to the White Sox dugout, but the situation didn't come close to escalating into something more.
"Well, I don't know what was wrong with him," said Rios with a wry smile. "He just started yelling for no reason. I don't know why he started yelling, and that's it."
I'm on Rios' side here. I mean really, how great a trick is it to retire Alex Rios? Why is that anything worthy of celebrating? Now, if it were Paul Konerko or someone sure, but Rios? Pfft! Child's play.
- Lukehart80 - May 4, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Look, I think closers celebrating like mad men is sort of silly, but it's a pretty common occurrence and hitters ought to be used to it by now.
- phillyphreak - May 4, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Perez is probably just excited that the save stat exists……
- digitaldonnie - May 4, 2012 at 10:02 AM
That's right Craig….you'd have a three pitch K to get Rios out.
- brokea$$lovesmesomeme - May 4, 2012 at 10:07 AM
Hit the ball and he won't gesticulate
- love4cle - May 4, 2012 at 10:20 AM
What a dumb article. How is Chris celebrating a save (the same way he celebrates after every save btw) any different than someone hitting a game winning hr and celebrating at home plate? What would you say then…the closer sucked so they shouldnt celebrate??
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - May 4, 2012 at 10:37 AM
Alex Athanopolis did the same yelling and fist pump gestures while watching Rios ground out, thankful that someone, somehwere was willing to absorb that horrible contract.
- schrutebeetfarms - May 4, 2012 at 1:47 PM
I would imagine that Perez won a bet with someone. The other person most likely assume Rios wouldn't make contact.
- ltzep75 - May 4, 2012 at 2:09 PM
Perez was excited that he was able to help Alex's poor self esteem by inducing contact.
- holleywood9 - May 4, 2012 at 2:20 PM
I have long thought that pitchers in general celebrate a little too much after strikeouts and other big outs. This is why I have always been in support of hitters "pimping" home runs. Or how boating them of you will. Pitchers showboat a strikeout so y not show them up when you beat them. They would've done the same thing back
- motherscratcher23 - May 4, 2012 at 3:06 PM
There was nothing borderline about that strike to AJ.
- steelydeacon - May 9, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Perez was not merely celebrating getting Alex Rios or AJ Perzynski out, he was celebrating his team winning the game! Some players really care about winning games, and they celebrate profusely. But I am not surprised that ChiSox fans and players do not understand this; since they cheer and play respectively as if they don't care either way.

Asiana has been getting help from Star Alliance partner United Airlines as it deals with the aftereffects of Saturday's Flight 214 crash landing.
That's according to The Wall Street Journal, which takes an interesting look at the expanding role of alliances that originally focused on frequent-flier benefits. Asiana and United are among the 28 members of the Star Alliance, one of three big global groupings that also include SkyTeam (anchored by Delta in the USA) and oneworld (American).
In the case of Asiana Flight 214, the Journal says "dozens" of United workers were dispatched to help ...

Minnesota used six pitchers to again subdue the Texas Rangers' offense for nine innings Saturday night. Unfortunately for the Twins, they couldn't do it in extra innings. Nelson Cruz hit an RBI double off reliever Kyle Waldrop (0-1) in the 10th inning that scored Adrian Beltre to lead the Rangers to a 4-3 victory that snapped their five-game losing streak. ''Cruz swung the bat well,'' manager Ron Washington said. ''We were due to finally put together something offensively. Texas' Josh Hamilton had a home run, walk and a run scored as the designated hitter one night after leaving in the fifth inning with back spasms. Samuel Deduno, the 11th pitcher to start a game for Minnesota this season, gave up three runs including two home runs, on six hits in his big league starting debut. He had three strikeouts and walked three. His biggest mistake was a slider up in the zone that Beltre smacked into the left-field seats that tied the game at 3-3 in the sixth. ''He fought through some ...

I've been on around 4 dates with this guy and on the last one a male friend came to talk to me while he was in the toilet and he got really jealous,... Show More

Yeah, I'd be wary of this one as well like the other guys have said. 4 dates isn't even enough to call you guys anything more than casual at this point, unless you're spending a lot of time together just hanging out but not actually going on 'dates'.
Jealousy, in my opinion is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing in small doses and a curse in anything more. Generally its either a sign that the guy doesn't trust you, or the guy isn't secure with himself. Neither of these things move in very positive directions. But at the same time the little bit of jealousy here and there does sometimes serve a sign that the guy cares about you. But it should be in extremely mild doses, at best.

The 18th century writer Adam Smith provided a workable metaphor for the way society utilizes resources. In his book "The Wealth of Nations," he argued that even as individuals strive, through personal industry, to maximize their advantage in life, they inadvertently contribute---as if under the influence of a "hidden hand"---to an aggregate disposition of wealth. Well, if Smith were a physicist and alive in the 21st century he might be tempted to compare people or nations to molecules and to replace the phrase "hidden hand" with "thermodynamic process."
Victor Yakovenko, a scientist at the Joint Quantum Institute (1), studies the parallels between nations and molecules. The distribution of energies among molecules in a gas and the distribution of per-capita energy consumption among nations both obey an exponential law. That is, the likelihood of having a certain energy value is proportional to e^(-E/kT), where T is the temperature and k is a proportionality factor called Boltzmann's constant. ("Temperature" here is taken to be the average national per-capita energy consumption in the world.)
Studies of world energy consumption often feature plots of energy consumption or population over time. Yakovenko and his colleagues prefer to draw out the underlying exponential distribution of national energy use by plotting the fraction of world population versus per-capita consumption.
The JQI researchers draw on data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). It covers the period from 1980 to 2010 and includes numbers from more than 200 countries; see figure 1. Their results are published in the Journal "Entropy" (2). A few years ago Yakovenko made a similar study of national per-capita income distributions (3).
Actually, the consumption data can be graphed in another way, one that illustrates the distributive nature of energy use. In a "Lorenz p

Tennessee state officials and executives of Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center yesterday provided St. Jude Children's Research Hospital with incentives that Danny Thomas described as "an offer that will be very hard to refuse." The promises of improved funding for cancer research at the University of Tennessee, Memphis, and an affiliation with Le Bonheur came during a daylong meeting between St. Jude directors and political and business leaders. The closed-door meeting gave state and city backers an opportunity to convince the St. Jude board members not to move their scientists to Washington University in St. Louis.

The fund for a memorial to Shelby County dead in World War II and the Korean War neared $10,000 yesterday. Eleven contributions, ranging from $50 to $500, added up to $1,400 to make a grand total of $9,400. A goal of $25,000 is sought by the project's three sponsors — two Gold Star Mothers groups, Memphis Post No. 1 of the American Legion and The Commercial Appeal. Julian Bondurant is chairman of the memorial fund committee.
