COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Going into their game against the Air Force Falcons, the Colorado State Rams knew that they were going to have to do all that they could to try and slow down one of the nation's top rushing attacks.
On Saturday, the Rams (1-4) were unable to do that as they fell to the Falcons (2-2) 42-21 at Falcon Stadium at the Air Force Academy.
After receiving the opening kickoff, Air Force unleashed a no-huddle option attack for its first possession and was able to move down the field on CSU very quickly. Using just 1:21, the Falcons marched 75 yards down the field on five plays and finished off the drive with a 7-yard touchdown run by Jon Lee. The drive was sparked by a 52-yard run by Cody Getz who was on his way to a career game.
Getz finished the game with 222 yards rushing making him the first player in Air Force history to begin a season with four consecutive 100-yard rushing games.
The Falcons kept the pressure on the Rams in the first quarter. After forcing a quick punt from CSU, Air Force again was able to march down the field, this time connecting on a 53-yard touchdown pass from Connor Dietz to Drew Coleman.
After a 16-play 80-yard drive, the Falcons were able to extend their lead to 21-0 heading into the second quarter.
Colorado State found its bearings offensively on the opening play of the second quarter. Starting quarterback Garrett Grayson was injured on a 3-yard rush late in the first quarter and had to leave the game, giving way to senior quarterback M.J. McPeek. After a rush for no gain by freshman Joe Hansley to end the first quarter, McPeek found senior Lou Greenwood for a 55-yard touchdown play to put the Rams on the board.
McPeek helped the Rams get in a rhythm offensively after his insertion, directing touchdowns on three of his first seven possessions.
After Air Force answered with a touchdown to build its lead to 28-7, and an exchange of punts, McPeek went to work again, directing a 10-play, 84-yard drive that culminated in a 13-yard touchdown pass from McPeek to tight end Crockett Gillmore. It was Gillmore's second touchdown of the season.
That score pulled Colorado State to a 28-14 deficit, but 14 points was as close as the Rams could get. After recovering a fumble to take possession at the CSU 40-yard line late in the half, the Rams looked to narrow the gap further. On the second play of the possession running back Chris Nwoke fumbled, Air Force recovered and the Falcons made the Rams pay with a three-play, 50-yard touchdown drive that was started with a 44-yard rush by Getz.
With a 21-point lead at halftime, Air Force looked comfortable in the second half and was able to maintain that lead to close out the game.
In his first career action, McPeek threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns while completing 65 percent of his passes. McPeek provided big-play capability for the Rams and helped CSU average a season-best 6.3 yards per play.
Senior punter, Pete Kontodiakos, recorded three punts of 50 yards or longer, including a 73-yard punt in the game, marking the sixth consecutive game with at least one punt of 50 yards or longer. Kontodiakos entered the game ranked seventh in the nation in punting average.

"Raul picked us up from the train which was 10 minutes late and then drove us around the city to show us locations of points of interest where we should visit and not miss, then when we arrived at the apartment. He showed us how everything operated in the apartment, there was a fruit basket with a bottle of wine to welcome us to his city, Barcelona. Milk, Juice, Water in the ice box. He made sure everything was ok, he showed us our "roof top terrace" just right there next to the door with a washing machine. This apartment is in the perfect location in Barcelona, only 2 blocks from the Metro (subway). Raul gave us locations where the grocery store is, restaurants. We see Raul on the street a couple times and he was most concerned with how we were getting along in the apartment, are you finding Barcelona a nice city, everything ok. We met Raul and Carmen at the lift (elevator) they were going we were coming back and they both wanted to know if everything was ok. They wanted our holiday to be the best ever, and it was!! Raul took us to the airport. Perfect apartment, Perfect location, Perfect host. If you do not stay at this apartment while you visit this wonderful city of Barcelona, you are missing out. We stayed July 10 - 17 and I would definitely stay at this apartment again, Thank you Raul and Carmen for helping make our visit to your wonderful city even ore enjoyable.

Girls Volleyball: Freeport standout looks to end career on high note
Ken Wunderley profiles Freeport volleyball player Zoe Pawlak. Read his story below.
Zoe Pawlak has experienced the thrill of victory during her high school volleyball career. She also knows the agony of defeat that comes with losing in the playoffs a lot sooner than expected.
Pawlak will soon begin her senior year at Freeport High School with hopes of experiencing the thrill of victory one more time.
"I've coached a lot of talented players in my 13 years at Freeport, but Zoe is the best," Freeport coach Tom Phillips said. "It would be great to have Zoe finish her career with another WPIAL title."
Pawlak has been a fixture in Freeport's lineup since her freshman season. The Yellowjackets were seeded No. 2 in the WPIAL Class AA bracket that season, but were upset by Ambridge in the quarterfinals.

"What About This American Music?"
Monday, October 28, 2013
From the May, 1944 WQXR Program guide:
Roy Harris, who is well known to our audience, is a Westerner by birth and upbringing. He resides in Colorado Springs, where he holds the post of Composer-in-Residence to Colorado College. Rated by such publications as Time, Life and The Christian Science Monitor as "America's Leading Symphonic Composer," Harris has written six symphonies and a great deal of choral and chamber music. He has been recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Because National Music Week is celebrated this month, we asked Mr. Harris to write about American music and we feel sure his opinions will arouse your interest in contemporary composers.

Earliest Known Recording of a New York City Mayor
Tuesday, September 03, 2013
As we enter the back stretch of the current mayoral campaign, there have been a lot of competing voices for the city's top spot. For contemporary oratory, what we've heard so far has been fairly standard: frequently finding fault, at times dogmatic, often punctuated with clichés, promising the moon, but always familiar in tone. The candidate, after all, needs to look and sound appealing to win those votes. Oddly enough, it wasn't always this way. Let's dial back the years to the earliest recording made of a New York mayoral candidate, incumbent Mayor John F. Hylan, in this abridged recreation of his Primary renomination acceptance speech from the fall of 1921. [1]

County approves wheelage tax
The County Board of Commissioners, after a public transportation hearing on Tuesday evening, July 21, approved a wheelage tax. This will allow for a charge of $10 added to vehicle license tab renewals, starting in calendar year 2016.

The wheelage tax will increase to an additional $20 per vehicle starting in calendar year 2018.
Otter Tail County has a funding gap of $10.3 million for roadway maintenance. The county is larger in size than the state of Rhode Island and paved roads total 1,062 miles.
"The backbone of the highway system in Otter Tail County requires lots of financial investment," said County Engineer Rick West.

Home > Press > New technique announced to turn windows into power generators
|Chris Binns, Professor of Nanotechnology, in the nanoparticle facility at Leicester.
Norwegian company EnSol AS to develop unique patented technology in collaboration with University of Leicester
An international team of scientists and industrialists is to meet at the University of Leicester to develop of a revolutionary new technique for harnessing green energy.
Norwegian company EnSol AS has patented a ground breaking, novel thin film solar cell technology which they seek to develop commercially by 2016.
The company is now working with experts in the University of Leicester Department of Physics and Astronomy to develop the revolutionary new type of solar cell material that could be coated as a thin film on, for example, windows in buildings to produce power on a large scale.
Experts will meet at the University from August 10- 11 to officially launch the collaboration between EnSol AS and the University of Leicester.
Professor of Nanotechnology at the University of Leicester, Professor Chris Binns, said the collaboration offered a tremendous opportunity to develop a new method for harnessing solar energy:
"The material has been designed by EnSol AS and is based on nanoparticles that can be synthesised in Leicester. In fact, following some initial investment by the company, the equipment we have here at the University of Leicester is uniquely suited in the world to produce small amounts of the material for prototypes
"The work is important since the solar cells are based on a new operating principle and different to Si solar cells. One of the key advantages is that it is a transparent thin film that can be coated onto window glass so that windows in buildings can also become power generators. Obviously some light has to be absorbed in order to generate power but the windows would just have a slight tinting (though a transmission of only 8-10% is common place for windows in the "sun belt" areas of the world) . Conversely the structural material of the building can also be coated with a higher degree of absorption. This could be side panels of the building itself, or even in the form of "clip-together" solar roof tiles.
"Also since it is a thin film that can be coated onto large areas it could become very much cheaper than conventional devices.
"Photovoltaics are destined to form a key power generating method as part of a low carbon economy and the new technology will bring that a stage closer."
The material is composed of metal nanoparticles (diameters ~ 10 nm) embedded in a transparent composite matrix..
A spokesperson for EnSol AS said: "The basic cell concept has been demonstrated, and it will be the objective of this research and development project to systematically refine this PV cell technology to achieve a cell efficiency of 20% or greater.
"A thin film deposition system with nanoparticle source, will be designed and constructed in collaboration with the University of Leicester for the fabrication of prototype cells based on this design.
"This experimental facility will be designed to produce PV cells with an active area in excess of 16 cm2 (40 mm x 40 mm) deposited onto standard glass substrates. These prototype cells will subsequently be characterised and tested in collaboration with our academic partners.
"EnSol's next generation PV cell technology has tremendous potential for industrial scale, low environmental impact, cost effective production via standard "spray on" techniques."

The United States transferred five detainees from the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to Kazakhstan, the Defense Department announced late Tuesday. It was the last in a flurry of year-end moves as President Obama sought to fulfill his promise to close the American-run prison.

Over the weekend, the United States' only prisoner of war from Afghanistan was released by the Taliban in exchange for five detaineess held at Guantanamo Bay. The release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after being held captive for five years was criticized by some Congressional Republicans who argue the Obama administration negotiated with terrorists. With the news of the prisoner swap, we look back in the Washington Week Vault to April 2011 when Tom Gjelten of NPR reported on the detainees at Guantanamo.

WASHINGTON – The White House budget director says the president will sign a big spending bill despite GOP calls for a veto.
Peter Orszag says Obama will work with Congress to reduce targeted spending, known as earmarks. But he says the $410 billion measure that passed the House last week represents last year's business and the new administration needs to move on.
The bill would keep the government operating through Sept. 30, the end of the current budget year. A watchdog group has identified nearly 8,600 instances of earmarks totaling $7.7 billion. Democrats say the number is $3.8 billion.
Either way, Obama campaigned on a goal of reducing earmarks. But they are popular with lawmakers eager to bring federal dollars back home.
Orszag spoke on ABC's "This Week."

As a veteran I am grateful for how many nonprofit groups are out there. I am specifically thankful for Move America Forward and the selfless work they are committed to. The work that they have done is nothing short of amazing for my fellow vets.
1 person found this review helpful
The work that MAF does to support our troops is invaluable to help the moral of our soldiers overseas. Judging from the comments that are made by the recipients of the MAF care packages that are mentioned in their newsletter, the contents of the packages are very much appreciated. I always hope that the small donation that I make every year might brighten up a soldier's day. MAF does a great job in supporting our troops (and their dogs) and getting the word out that they are not forgotten. Keep up the good work!
1 person found this review helpful
Move America Forward does an amazing job of honoring our soldiers and their dogs. I have tracked this organization, its donations, the local support, and publicity. They offer many ways in which to support our troops and are sensitive to the public's ability to donate. There are packages for everyone's income. They are committed to the nonprofit and it shows throughout their site and through their fund raising events. I hope others will review the site and become donors for our soldiers..... let them know we care and are willing to do something ....no matter how small. Diane

They offer care packages to deployed military members, free of charge. My husband and shipmates love getting mail, it reminds them of home- and lets them know people (even complete strangers) are thinking about them and acknowledge the sacrifice they are making by serving their country. I could only wish there were more organizations like Move America Forward!

This is such an amazing organization! As the wife of a veteran, I cannot say enough good things about Move America Forward. They truly are a one of kind organization. The staff and volunteers go above and beyond all expectations to help veterans and their families in any way possible.

I have seen this organization endeavor diligently to provide care packages for our men and women who admirably serve our nation. Thier commitment to supporting American soldiers is something I am proud to attest to.

I love supporting Move America Forward. Talk about doing a great work. I've witnessed thousands of boxes being shipped off to our men and women serving abroad. The boxes they send are filled to the brim with the best products and I think really bring a taste of home to those who continue to fight for our country. I'm grateful for all they do and encourage anyone to help support this amazing organization.
1 person found this review helpful
Lots of people say they "support the troops" but you do it in a very real and tangible way. I'm proud to be able to support that.
1 person found this review helpful
I have volunteered and donated to many nonprofit organizations, but have felt truly connected to the end cause with Move America Forward. They are great to volunteer for and donate to, as I know my time and money is being properly allocated and used effectively. There is no better way to say thank you to the deployed troops than to pack a box of goodies and send a personalized and hand written thank you. A wonderful organization and cause!
Thank you for using Move America Forward to support the troops. We could not do it with out you!!

I am very happy with the results. The color match was dead on, and was actually much better than I expected.
The touch up worked wonderfully, matched great with my car. Thanks a bunch.
Everything was great and matched perfectly. The clear coat is hard to get it to match the factory finish but I suppose that is expected. I wish there was a video or some sort of tips on how to get a finish match.

New comer in Melbourne need OB recommendation
Started by tin2212 , Feb 18 2013 12:54 PM

Posted 18 February 2013 - 12:54 PM
I'm new comer in Melbourne and new to Australian medical & health system.
I need OB recommendation who take action in Cabrini or Jessie McPherson (and around Southern Melbourne). How do the OB will charged new patient ?
I currently hold Medicare & Medibank (no excess).
I heard that the out of pocket will be 3K~6K.
However, I'm looking for 2K~3K budget. Up & down is considerable.
Please PM if you have information/suggestion.
Appreciate for your advise ^^
Thank you

If you are covered by medicare you can go to a public hospital and it won't cost you anything. The Monash Medical Centre has a good reputation.
While experiences definitely vary, I was happier with my public hospital birth than my private hospital birth. So it's not always the case that more expensive = better/safer/comfier.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 02:03 PM
Thanks IsolaBella
Hi Tenar,
Thanks for sharing your nice experience in public hospital.
I might prefer to have one OB in private, as I heard we can't choose for an OB in public.
I hope I can find a good OB in my allowance.

Posted 18 February 2013 - 06:35 PM
For my first I assumed that I would be in better hands with a private OB chosen by me. My OB was lovely and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and pleasant person to deal with (she delivers at Frances Perry House, not in the southeast, which is why I haven't PMd you the name). That birth ended with an emergency c/s. I'm pretty sure that that didn't need to happen and that baby and I would both have been better off if we had had better midwife support.
So the second time around I wanted excellent midwife support and backup OB support available. Also the cost was an issue that time (after the changes to medicare that greatly increased the cost of private OB). I was lucky to be able to access the COSMOS program at RWH which means that you see the same midwife for all your visits and they are on call for your labour. For me this was a much better deal, as it meant that I labored with support from someone I knew (as opposed to random midwives who were on shift that time, which happened the first time). I also used a doula that time. That birth was an induced VBAC of a 4.5kg baby with gas only - no other pain relief needed.
It is very important that you have confidence in your caregivers. But it's worth considering whether you really want to be able to choose your OB given that mostly the obstetricians aren't present for most of the labour. In my opinion, after my experiences, it's the midwife I'd want to be able to choose, not the OB. I now believe that they are much more important for mum and bub than the OB is.
Others will have different opinions, of course. I hope you find a caregiver that suits you and have an uneventful pregnancy and birth.

A Meta-analysis of the Effect of Prophylactic Central Compartment Neck Dissection on Locoregional Recurrence Rates in Patients with Papillary Thyroid Cancer

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
It is not known whether prophylactic central compartment neck dissection (pCCND) in conjunction with total thyroidectomy decreases rates of locoregional recurrence in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).
A meta-analysis was performed of reported recurrence rates of clinically node-negative PTC in patients treated with total thyroidectomy (TT) alone, or TT and pCCND. The primary outcome was locoregional recurrence of PTC.
Eleven studies capturing 2,318 patients met the inclusion criteria. Overall, the recurrence rate for patients undergoing TT/pCCND was 3.8 % [95 % confidence interval (CI) 2.3–5.8]. In the six comparative studies, which included 1,740 patients, 995 patients undergoing TT and 745 patients undergoing TT/pCCND, the overall recurrence rate was 7.6:7.9 % in the TT group and 4.7 % in the TT/pCCND group. The relative risk of recurrence was 0.59 (95 % CI 0.33–1.07), favoring a lower recurrence rate in the TT/pCCND arm. The number of patients that would need to be treated (NNT) in order to prevent a single recurrence is 31. The relative risk for permanent hypocalcemia was 1.82 (95 % CI 0.51–6.5) and for permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury was 1.14 (95 % CI 0.46–2.83).
There was no difference in recurrence or long-term complication rates between patients undergoing TT or TT/pCCND. There was a trend toward lower recurrence rates in TT/pCCND patients, with a NNT of 31 patients. On the basis of these data, routine pCCND might be considered in the hands of high-volume surgeons treating patients with clinically node-negative PTC.

Bruce Jenner allegedly feels liberated after ending his marriage to Kris Jenner and is glad to be in control of his own life.
Bruce Jenner feels liberated after ending his marriage to Kris Jenner.
The Olympic gold medalist, who released a joint statement with his ex-wife on Tuesday (08.10.13) confirming their split, reportedly told several people at the Virginia International Raceway last weekend that he is very happy to be single again.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the 63-year-old reality TV star said: ''I'm finally free to do what I want and live life the way I want.''
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star attended the event with his sons, Brandon and Brody Jenner, and was spotted ''flirting'' with a bunch of girls after racing a Lamborghini during the event.
Bruce and Kris' split after 22 years of marriage is said to be amicable and they plan to continue co-parenting their daughters Kendall, 17, and Kylie, 16.
Another source said the former couple, who have four other children each from previous marriages, including Kim Kardashian, have no plans to file for divorce but have been separated since June.
Announcing their split, they said: ''We are living separately and we are much happier this way. But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority.''
Rumours first began swirling that they had ended their relationship after Bruce, who recently revealed he has been battling skin cancer for several years, moved out of their family home in Calabasas, California, and into his own beach house in Malibu earlier this year.

Report: Antawn Jamison to meet with Clippers head coach Doc Rivers
Aug 3, 2013, 11:00 AM EDT
We're at that time in the NBA offseason where there isn't much going on, so any small bit of news of a free agent inching closer to deciding on a new destination becomes an element of interest.
The mini-frenzy created by Greg Oden's signing with the Heat on Friday qualifies, considering he hasn't played in the NBA the last three years and is still, even by his own account, a substantial ways away from contributing at the NBA level.
The interest surrounding Antawn Jamison isn't nearly as strong, but with the list of contending teams he's considering, he may be able to impact a playoff run, even at this late stage of his career.
The Clippers, as they did near the beginning of free agency, seem to be interested in Jamison's services.
Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports reported that Doc Rivers is scheduled to have dinner with Jamison on Saturday — presumably at an establishment with a slightly stronger menu selection than the Chili's where Oden supposedly had dinner with Erik Spoelstra.
Jamison can still score, but defensively he is a liability, and that's putting it mildly. But another veteran at the end of the bench for a team as deep as the Clippers can't hurt, and if Rivers wants Jamison in place, he shouldn't have much trouble convincing him to switch teams in Los Angeles.
- abchome - Aug 3, 2013 at 11:44 AM
Oh, no! Why not just re-sign Odom and call it a day. And there could be better players available before trade deadline, when bubble teams switch to full tank mode.
- wkl21 - Aug 3, 2013 at 2:23 PM
the K-Trash family comes with Odom, so no thanks..
- knicksmets - Aug 3, 2013 at 11:48 AM
Jamison is not that bad and Odom really is not himself, they might be able to get someone at the trade deadline but that would probably require a lot of picks or players to get someone good. This could be a low risk high reward signing for the clippers to improve themselves and they wouldn't need to give up to much most likely

Miami-Dade College School Of Justice Dean Somewhat Addresses Richard Moss Controversies
Eleven days ago, we reported on Richard Moss, the director of the Miami-Dade College police academy with some very bad marks on his resume, including a demotion from captain to commander for insubordination when he was with the Broward County Sherriff's Office. Since taking the helm of the basic training program in January 2010, Moss has been accused of condoning the hazing of cadets, using bullets paid by students and the college for personal target practice, and insulting a female school employee.
Last week, Moss's boss and School of Justice Director Hector Garcia sent out a memo to all employees that somewhat addressed two of the allegations without specifically describing the incidents.
We reported on a hazing incident that occurred sometime this past December. Cadets from an incoming class were forced to run up and down the bleachers of Traz Powell Stadium while they were pelted with water balloons and sprayed with water guns.
On March 23, Garcia informed school of justice instructors, including Moss, of the college's policy that "profanity, personal humiliation, ridicule, or abusive treatment of any kind are counter-productive and have no place in our training program." Garcia also wrote that "unnecessary stress or harassment is not part of the lesson plan" and "sets a poor example for the professional recruit officer."
Staff Memorandum 032211
Former and current instructors interviewed by New Times also complained that Moss and another college employee went to the Medley gun range one day this past October to shoot their guns using bullets paid for by students and the college.
On March 24, Garcia wrote to Moss and the instructors to let them know "School of Justice personnel are prohibited from personally utilizing the Medley Police Regional Firearms Range for any non-recruit/instructional activities when the college has contracted time" at the range.
Garcia added that "Shool of Justice staff and personnel are prohibited from utilizing any equipment and/or consumable resources that are designated for any student instructional School of Justice programs."

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Varian Medical Systems (NYSE: VAR), a world leader in radiotherapy and X-ray imaging technology, is announcing the publication of its annual corporate social responsibility report, detailing the company's policies and achievements in extending access to cancer care, protecting resources, and helping to save lives. The Varian 2014 Sustainability Report has been produced as part of a wider company effort to continually improve sustainability performance and transparency.
"Companies such as ours have a responsibility to achieve our business goals in a socially and environmentally responsible manner," said Dow Wilson, chief executive officer of Varian Medical Systems. "This is a company that utilizes its resources and talent to help people everywhere in the world. Sustainability for us is extending access to quality healthcare, delivering safe and effective products, and having a beneficial impact on the communities where we operate."
In 2010, Varian commenced a company-wide undertaking to examine sustainability performance and identify challenges and opportunities to be addressed over time. "We have made a commitment to produce annual updates so we could measure our achievements against defined sustainability goals," adds Wilson. "This effort involves the close participation of senior leaders from all divisions, key geographies, and core functions."
The achievements highlighted in the Varian Sustainability Report 2014 include programs that extend advanced care and enhance clinical training in developing countries. The report also spotlights ongoing reductions in electricity and natural gas consumption, along with progress towards greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.
The report outlines the governance structure that determines Varian's sustainability activities and measures performance against goals stated in its inaugural report. It is divided into four key areas: environmental, health access and outcomes, safety and responsibility, and colleagues and communities. Based on internationally-recognized GRI (global reporting initiative) parameters, this year's report has received an application level 'B' rating from the GRI.
