The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team ended its run in the NCAA Championships in consolation action today. The Mocs lost all three of their consolation matches this afternoon.
Junior Alex Hudson (Marietta, Ga.) took on No. 6 Dylan Ness of Minnesota in the 149-pound bracket. Hudson quickly scored a takedown to go up 2-0 in the first period. Ness reversed and caught Hudson on his back, earning a pin at the 2:30 mark. Hudson's season ends with a 16-7 overall record and his first trip to the NCAAs.
Senior Josh Condon (Marietta, Ga.) faced Nebraska's Austin Wilson in his consolation second round match. Condon started strong, posting a pair of takedowns and a reversal in the first period to go up 6-4. An escape in the second gave him a 7-4 lead going into the final frame. Wilson closed the gap to 7-5 after a quick escape. He used a takedown and three back points late in the period to win the 10-7 decision.
Condon ends his season with a 13-7 record, and his second trip to the NCAAs. He finishes his UTC career with a pair of Southern Conference Championships and a 52-24 overall record.
Senior Niko Brown (Kissimmee, Fla.) took on Binghamton's No. 7-seed Nathan Schiedel in the second round of consolations. Brown gave up a takedown early in the first, but quickly escaped. He scored a takedown of his own moments later to go up 3-2. Schiedel controlled the rest of the match, outscoring Brown 10-1 over the next two periods. Brown gave up the fall with just under a minute left in the match.
Brown's outstanding final season comes to an end with a 30-5 overall record, just two wins shy of the single-season top-10 all-time at UTC. His career mark stands at 77-39, including two trips to the NCAAs and a SoCon championship.
The Mocs finish the NCAA Championships with two points and are tied for 55th overall. Competition concludes with tomorrow's action in Des Moines, Iowa.

Later this month, 24 students from five Miami area high schools will present mock cases before judges on the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. U.S. District Judge Paul Huck and U.S. Magistrate Judge Patrick White will hear the students' arguments in the mock trials.
Miami Law alumnus Alex Ferrer, who hosts the nationally syndicated courtroom show Judge Alex, will share his experiences as a student at Miami Law, his post-graduation years, and his transition into the entertainment industry on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. in the Alma Jennings Foundation Student Lounge.
Third-year law student Julie Dahlgard knows her way around fashion and trademark, as evidenced by her thoroughly persuasive and nuanced argument in support of Yves Saint Laurent in the case of the red-soled shoe.
Twenty-seven of the best and brightest potential first-year students arrived last week for an in-depth, four-day look at Miami Law. The Scholarship Conference, organized to help entice the students to the school, kicked off at a sunset gathering at Monty's Raw Bar in Coconut Grove and then adjourned to the School of Law the following morning.
Miami Law's graduates continue to shine across the legal spectrum, and with Black History Month drawing to a close, the achievements of at least two of those former law students are very much worth noting.
Marcelyn Cox, the Assistant Dean of Career Development at the University of Miami School of Law, has been named one of the 100 most influential black lawyers in the country. She is in good company. The listing, compiled by a media company called On Being A Black Lawyer, includes the likes of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder; Valerie Jarrett, a top adviser to President Obama; and Newark Mayor Corey Booker. Dean Cox is listed as a "Pipeline Builder."
There were a lot of impressed faces in the audience when President Obama came to UM in February. "It was amazing seeing and hearing the president, especially during Black History Month," said second-year Miami Law student Shawn Hairston, president of the Black Law Student Association, as he stood in the BankUnited Center Fieldhouse for Obama's speech on energy policy. "It touched me immensely, and his vision for the future consumption of oil in the U is very progressive, and I support him 100 percent."
With Haiti still mired in poverty and desperation, and its population often abused or ignored, the question of human rights there continues to be of paramount importance.
For many law students, the notion of working one day as in-house counsel for a corporation has great appeal. Not having to worry about going to court every day, billing hours, or prospecting clients is enough to whet any litigation-averse law student's appetite.
Students in Miami Law's Immigration Clinic won the case of a Mexican man whose relatives were killed by members of a drug cartel because they had failed to comply with the cartel's demands. The students took on the case in the spring of 2011, after the client had already been in detention without a lawyer for many months.
Does sex with robots need consent? Is the automation of law enforcement eroding individual privacy and due process rights? Who shoulders the criminal responsibility when machines kill?
For thousands of Death Row inmates around the country, the years they spend there before execution – sometimes it's decades – are tantamount to a second sentence, Professor Jordan M. Steiker of the University of Texas School of Law told a panel on the death penalty last week at UM.
As he becomes increasingly active in his campaign for re-election, President Barack Obama plans to visit the University of Miami's Coral Gables campus on Thursday to deliver a speech at the BankUnited Center Fieldhouse.
Second-year Miami Law student Elsie Padron is the winner of the first Miami Law Facebook Legal Challenge, which launched a week ago. On Feb. 13, the law school's Office of Communications challenged all Miami Law students to ponder whether it was constitutional for California lawmakers to require actors in the pornography film industry to use condoms. Students were invited to post their answers on Miami Law's Facebook page.
This weekend, Miami Law will host the first annual Florida/Eleventh Circuit Bankruptcy Moot Court Event for the 2012 Cristol, Kahn, Paskay Cup. The initial contests will take place at the Courtyard Miami Coconut Grove Hotel, and final rounds on Miami Law's campus. Sponsored by the Bankruptcy Bar Association of the Southern District of Florida, the event, on Friday and Saturday, has the support of some of the nation's most prestigious law firms and attorneys.
After an arduous, 11-day battle of wits, endurance and moxy, sporty students from Miami Law will discover on Sunday whether they've managed to wrest the Dean's Cup from those medical school types and bring it back to where – inarguably – it belongs.
Momentum2: The Breakthrough Campaign for the University of Miami will raise a towering $1.6 billion by the year 2016, transforming the face of a still-young institution yet again with new buildings and labs to prepare tomorrow's medical and scientific masterminds, scholarships for students who might not otherwise be able to attend college, and a brand-new group of talented and ambitious researchers and scholars with the knowledge to not only study global problems, but also solve them.
Miami Law is preparing for the second annual Philanthropy Week, from Feb. 28th to March 3rd. This year, the proceeds from the fundraising effort will go to the Hope for Congo Foundation, whose founder will speak at a symposium on March 2nd on the Coral Gables campus.
Right on cue – just as Hollywood braces itself for the 84th Academy Awards on Feb. 26 – a veteran entertainment lawyer who has been involved in show business in Los Angeles for a quarter century is teaching a three-week course at the University of Miami School of Law.
Liz Rieser-Murphy, a third-year Miami Law student who once taught at a middle school in the Bronx, remembers learning about Dr. King's legendary "I Have a Dream" speech when she was a child. "His vision of a just world is part of what inspired me to come to law school," she said.
Sherry D. Williams, who graduated from Miami Law in 1995 and went on to become a senior official at Halliburton, seems fond of unpredictability. In most cases, she says, it's an asset.
U.S. District Judge Adalberto Jose Jordan, a Miami Law graduate, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in February to serve on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. Judge Jordan graduated summa cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law in 1987, has been an adjunct professor since 1990, and is a member of the school's visiting committee.
The days when a Cuban American lawyer might walk into a court room in Miami-Dade County and be reprimanded by a judge for his or her accent are, thankfully, long behind us. Although individual instances of discrimination may remain, inequality towards Cuban American attorneys – as well as attorneys of other minority groups – has largely waned.
One of the country's most viscerally contentious issues, the death penalty, was at the center of a symposium on March 2-3 in the Storer Auditorium on the University of Miami campus.
Miami Law's International Moot Court team has advanced into the international rounds at the Pace/ICC Moot Competition for the third consecutive year. In a qualifying round at Pace Law School in New York over the weekend, the Miami team became eligible to participate in April at the World Round of the International Criminal Court Trial in The Hague, where the students will argue in front of ICC judges.
In many respects, Alejandro Portes is extremely well-suited to teach immigration and ethnicity at Miami Law, in a city that for half a century has represented the epitome of the immigrant experience in North America.
Warm puppies – the extremely huggable kind – service dogs and law students converged on the Bricks today to share the love. More than a dozen canines nuzzled and licked their way through the lunchtime crowd.
Students from the University of Miami School of Law last week got the chance to hear five real-life cases – both civil and criminal – argued right here on campus. They also got some practical advice on how not to irritate judges.
A trio of inspiring films will be screened starting today as part of the seventh Ethics Film Series, sponsored by the Adrienne Arsht and UM Ethics Programs, the School of Communication and the University of Miami Alumni Association. Discussions will follow, moderated by faculty experts and others.
Last week, when the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down California's Proposition 8, the issue of same-sex marriage moved a step closer to the Supreme Court. By deeming unconstitutional the ban on marital rights for same-sex couples, the 2-1 decision reinforced a growing sentiment that marriage equality for gay couples is not the taboo issue it may have been in the past.
As of Monday, Feb. 13, students at the University of Miami School of Law will be invited to take part in a weekly legal challenge on the school's Facebook page.
Now embarked on its second year, Miami Law's revolutionary LawWithoutWalls program – tasked with discovering far-reaching innovations for the legal profession – is challenging the talents and vision of 35 students from around the world.
Tchicaya Missamou, former Congolese child soldier, U.S. Marine, bestselling author, and founder of the Hope for Congo Foundation, will be joined by Washington & Lee University School of Law Professor Mark Drumbl and Dr. Saby Ghoshray, Vice President for Development and Compliance at WorldCompliance Company, at the University of Miami at the Storer Auditorium on Friday, March 2nd, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The title of the symposium is "Child Soldiers and International Law," three short lectures will be followed by a question-and-answer period and book signings.

Two Miami Law men, Michael Jonathan Gil, 3L, and Philip J. Hoffman, JD '11, have been selected as finalists in the 2012 Presidential Management Fellows Program. Gil and Hoffman were the only finalists this year from the University of Miami.
The stroke patient, who could not speak and had no living will, was aphasic, a condition that results from damage to the part of the brain that controls language. But she could think and make gestures, so a series of images was created – with input from her doctors at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and her lawyers at UM's School of Law – from which she could select her legally enforceable wish that her sister handle her finances.
On any given day in the life of Lesley Rosenthal, general counsel at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, she might be immersed in performance contracts with Yo-Yo Ma, hammering out negotiations with one of 13 unions, or preparing clauses in a lease with the property's owner, the City of New York.
It's probably safe to say that few federal appeals judges began their careers by selling books door to door. But it's certainly true of Judge Jimmie Reyna, who rose to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from modest beginnings in New Mexico and who recounted some of that history during a chat Friday at Miami Law.
On Thursday evening, University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala, Miami Law Dean Patricia D. White and other personalities congregated in the Storer Auditorium to celebrate the launch of a first-of-its-kind triple-degree program and the man who made it possible.

Gabrielle is now 2 1/2 yrs old we haven't switched her to a toddler bed yet because of having mattress issues & our blocker doesn't fit properly with our crib. We don't put the railing up anymore so it acts as a full blocker. Once she turned 2 she started to sleep in the corners or the side where the railing is. She will put her hand inbetween the hole and her face is against the railing. She does this in the corners of her crib too. Does your little ones do this?
We have also started to potty train her...with so far no success :0< My mom bought her underwear that has her fav people on them. We put them on her a few times and she gets so upset that she screams no like it, take them off please and will rip and tear till she gets them off or we take them off. We tried putting them on over her diaper and she again freaked out. Is this very common for this to happen with a preemie??

New Video: Ciara – Sorry
'All you had to do, was say that I'm Sorry'.
Ciara is taking us back to the days when she was lacing us with some passionate slow jams like 'Promise', with her newest track titled, 'Sorry'. The new video, features Ciara reminiscing about the good times she had with her love interest, while also thinking of all the times he disappointed her. 'Christmas day, you said you had a ring. But you changed your mind, to caught up in the streets, boy your truth is hard to believe'. All she is asking from him, is a simple 'sorry' and she'll be running back in his arms.
In between intimate and really cute shots of her and her attractive love interest, she spends a generous amount of time showing off some sexy dance moves. At the end, she tells the mystery guy:
You know I think about you sometimes. I wonder how you are? Are you happy? You see I know what we had was special and I know you know it too. I miss you.

The Berkeley County man accused of 43 counts of ill-treatment of animals has pleaded guilty to 10 of the charges. The other 33 were dropped as part of the plea deal.
The grisly discovery of hundreds of dead dogs and dozens of dogs clinging to life at a property outside of Goose Creek made national news in early 2013.
Loney Garrett, 66, was working with Berkeley County Animal Control at the time of the seizure, according to Garretts lawyer Melisa Gay.
He was trying to comply, Gay said.
Garrett declined comment to the media after the hearing.
Gay described Garrett as a good man who was trying to help the animals.
It just got out of hand. This is not a person who viciously did anything, Gay said. He is an older man who, unfortunately, other people would basically dump dogs on.
She said that things got worse on his property in 2011 when Garrett went in for prostate cancer surgery and his son did not properly care for the dogs.
Sentencing for Garrett will be held at a later date.

Heart box set showcases demos, raritiesWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
"Strange Euphoria" (Epic Records/Legacy Recordings) is a treat for any Heart fan. The box set features three CDs, complete with 21 previously unreleased songs, and a DVD.
Ann and Nancy Wilson mined their collection of work to share demos and rarities. And the sisters offer personal track-by-track insights and comments.
It all began in 1969 with "Through Eyes and Glass," which was recorded by Ann Wilson & The Daybreaks. This early acoustic song shows the writing prowess of the siblings.
"When the record came out, they left my name off the songwriting credit," Nancy wrote about the single in the liner notes. "They also misspelled the name of the band. But it was our welcome to the music business!"
The never-before-heard tracks make the set special. A nearly unplugged demo of "Magic Man" is a cool version of the rocker, which is more of a folk song here. And Ann unleashes that powerful voice and really lets it rip on a version of "Heartless" that was recorded at a sound check.
Always highlights are those two iconic guitar songs by the Wilson sisters. Of the demo "Crazy On You," Ann wrote, "Nancy's guitar on this track is what I think really set her on the planet as a guitarist of record." The 1977 live version of "Barracuda" captures the intense energy of the track, which Nancy called "a great, galloping steed."
"Bebe le Strange" was an early empowerment track, according to Nancy, and Ann noted they tried to "write a feminist anthem" with "Even It Up."
John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin plays mandolin on a live version of "Never" from 1994. And fans learn that "These Dreams," written by Bernie Taupin and Martin Page, originally was offered to Stevie Nicks, who turned it down. "I fought to get us to record it and for me to sing it," Nancy wrote in the liner notes.
The box set also includes selections from Nancy's 1999 disc "Live at McCabe's Guitar Shop" and Ann's 2007 release "Hope and Glory."
Recorded in 1976, "The Second Ending Featuring Heart" DVD offers a nearly 60-minute show the band played at Washington State University right after the release of its debut album, "Dreamboat Annie."
While the clothing and shape transition elements date the video, the music remains timeless.
"Strange Euphoria" chronicles the Wilson sisters' creative process, proving women can rock and be commercial; Heart has sold more than 35 million records.

Looks like no 7 inch iPad in the future
Steve Jobs: RIM will have to change to catch up with iPhone, iPad
During Apple's Q4 2010 conference call today, surprise attendee Steve Jobs took it to RIM, their BlackBerry link, and upcoming PlayBook tablet saying they'll have to fundamentally re-invent themselves to catch up.
Highlights, paraphrased:
- Steve Jobs! (SJ): 14.1 million iPhones represents 91% growth. Handily beat RIM's 12.1 million BlackBerry's sold in most recent quarter. Past RIM, doesn't see them catching up. They must become a software platform company. A challenge for them. A high mountain to climb.
When it comes to their PlayBook tablet, he lumped them in with criticism for smaller screened Android Tablets as well:
- SJ: Other tables appear to be just a handful of credible entrants. Almost all use 7" screens compared to iPad 10". Would offer 70% of benefits. But only 45% as large because of diagonal measure. 7" screens a bit smaller than bottom half of iPad screen. Not big enough to make great tablet apps.
- SJ: Apple has done extensive testing, really understand this stuff. Limits to how close you can place elements for usability. Why 10" is minimum size for great tablet apps.
- SJ: Every tablet user is also smartphone user. No tablet can fit in your pocket. Giving up precious diplay area to fit tablets in pockets isn't the way to go. Tweeners.
- SJ: iPad now has more than 35,000 apps. New tablets will have 0.
- SJ: Competitors have a tough time coming close to iPad pricing even with smaller screen. Apple creates own chip, battery chemistry, enclosure, everything. Incredible product, incredible price. Competitors will likely offer less for more.
- SJ: New crop of tablets will likely be DOA. Too small. Will increase size next year, abandon customers and developers who went 7-inch.
That's some tough talk for the entrenched enterprise champion, with an incredibly passionate install base wrapped up in BES and BBM. Is QNX the reboot he's talking about, or is the Torch and Style a sign it's not coming fast enough?

Steve Jobs: RIM will have to change to catch up with iPhone, iPad
Why does RIM have to catch up with Apple? They cater to two different markets. RIM is all business, Apple is all consumer. At my workplace I have professionals that do all their business on a BB but pull out an iPhone/iPod for their home stuff.
BB's network, enterprise integration, and physical keyboard will keep it in the forefront for business customers for a long, long time. I can't see Apple breaking that anytime soon.
SHows you know nothing of the web, the web consists largely of flash based websites and games - SJ's refusal to implement flash on his devices will ultimately spell disaster for their marketshare when better more functional devices are released. Only time will tell if RIM is able to fill this void - admittedly other tablets have not come close, but even the ipads have big flaws
Not to mention SJ actually filters what websites you can go on too...take wikileaks for example...hes blocked that from his devices now.
Filtering the consumer's choice of usage is a very bold and risky move- people don't like being restricted - the only reason apple do so well is due to the massive advertisement - i actually see more people with a blackberry bold or a blackberry torch than I do any other phone out there
(Per the Joost/sting7k comments)
Many companies are cracking down on personal use of corporate assets (it's not just surfing anymore) - they're limiting use of ALL corporate assets - forcing people to carry a second device for personal use. We'll see more of this trend in the fortune 500, not consolidation.
Secondly, we've seen inroads by the iPhone into the corporate space (and Cupertino has been working on a back-end server farm for some time - mobile me is just the start...wait for it).
Bottom line, if you control the consumer space, you can leverage that to own the enterprise space. (you can have your enterprise market segment run at a loss to eliminate your competition). A good example is what Dell's been doing in the server space.
If BlackBerry doesn't become a leader in the consumer space, it's just a matter of time. The only saving grace is that there's room enough in the market for everyone right now. When everyone in the world has a smartphone, things are going heat up from a competition standpoint.
@sting7k Medium, large, and huge corporations are notorious for being conservative when it comes to changing their internal technology / infrastructure that is supported. Heck, I still use Windows XP on my work notebook.
The flexibility / power corporate IT has to manage BBs is one of the big reasons I don't see iPhone making inroads anytime soon.
Apple is also going to have to come up with a network infrastructure that is as secure/trusted as BB e-mail/messenger if they're going to make any inroads with enterprise customers. That server farm may be it... I don't know. But it's gotta be something that will compare.
As long as people can continue to hack, 'jailbreak', and 'root' their operating systems on iOS and Android, RIM has nothing to worry about when it comes to an invasion on REAL businesses. Smaller companies my let people use iPhones and such, but NO major corporation is going to let sensitive data onto a mobile platform they can't control.

The Hafetz Hayyim
One of the most influential Jewish religious figures of the twentieth century established his reputation first and foremost as an opponent of lashon hara, evil speech.
By Rabbi Louis Jacobs
We Also Recommend
Reprinted from Louis Jacobs, The Jewish Religion: A Companion, published by Oxford University Press.
Israel Meir Kagan (1838-1933), Talmudic and rabbinic scholar, ethical and religious teacher, [is] venerated by Jews all over the world, especially those in the Lithuanian tradition, for his saintliness and learning. Israel Meir (his original surname was not Kagan but Poupko) is universally known by the title of his first book directed against the evils of slander and malicious gossip. He published this work anonymously, its title taken from the verses: "What is he that delighteth in life [he-hafetz hayyim], and loveth many days that he may see good? Keep they tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile" (Psalms 34:13-14). Although the Hafetz Hayyim occupied no official rabbinic position, his later reputation as an authority in practical Jewish law rested secure on his work on the subject. His life of extreme piety caused him also to be acknowledged among Lithuanian Jews as a charismatic personality akin to the tzaddik in Hasidism around which numerous legends accumulate. He has good right to be considered as the most influential figure in twentieth century Orthodox Judaism, appealing also in his homely approach to ordinary Jews with no pretensions to learning. With his gifted pen he produced both scholarly and popular works, all of which are still assiduously studied and some of which, a sure sign of popularity, have been translated into Yiddish.
The Hafetz Hayyim, though the supreme patron of the Lithuanian yeshivot, did not himself study in a yeshivah. Indeed, in his youth he was not an outstanding Talmudist and showed little promise of his future greatness in this field. A reliable report has it that the Maskilim, followers of the Haskalah movement of enlightenment, tried to win the young boy over to their camp but he resisted their blandishments, and remained indifferent to general studies and modern scholarship all his life. His approach to Judaism was other-worldly. When an American visitor to his home saw how bare was the sage's room, he asked him, "Where is your furniture?" "Where is your furniture?" the Hafetz Hayyim asked the man. "I am only a visitor here," was the reply. "I, too, am a visitor in this world," was the typical reply. After his marriage, he and his wife owned a shop in the Lithuanian town of Radin, she serving the customers and he keeping the books. Numerous stories are told of his scrupulous honesty. He once discovered that a non-Jewish customer had paid for a herring but had not taken it with him. The Hafetz Hayyim had forgotten the man's identity, so for a time he gave every non-Jewish customer a free herring. He remained in Radin for the rest of his life, students at first coming to his home to imbibe his wisdom. At a later date, a large yeshiva was established at Radin, which became a metropolis of Jewish learning in the old style. He was also a leader of the Orthodox movement, Agudat Yisrael, and became very active in the support of yeshivot everywhere. When his fame as an author spread, he earned his living by the sale of his books, seeing to it at all times, in order not to defraud the buyers, that the books were in the best condition and offered at a very fair price.

I was trying to explain to my wife that "blue helmets" are viable targets, and she wasn't understanding it. Then I showed her a picture of the UN Blue Helmet's nice aiming feature , and now she gets it.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller

Years after going through intensive recovery from losing both legs and part of his hand in a blast from a roadside bomb in Iraq, Army Sgt. Joshua Cope was still struggling.
In 2011, five years after the explosion that wounded him and killed two others, Cope had very little short-term memory. He hardly spoke, was depressed and quick to anger. He couldn't sleep. He was frustrated with his condition and always was on edge.
The explosion also gave Cope a severe concussion, and years later he still was grappling with the effects it had on his brain as well as lingering post-traumatic stress.
He and his family were at wits' end.
Cope heard of a type of therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, that provided relief for other soldiers who had been injured in bombings or blasts.
The treatment wasn't covered by his veterans benefits, but a local doctor, Eddie Zant, was donating his services to people who were wounded in the military.
Cope underwent the therapy, and it worked.
"I'm a totally different person," he said recently from near his home in Orlando where he was playing outside with his three young children. "I was just so thankful that he was willing to do it."
Over the past several years, Zant, a retired Army medic who served during Vietnam, has given hyperbaric treatments to about 50 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans from across the country.
He said it has cost him about $170,000 out-of-pocket for the liquid oxygen alone, not counting labor and rent costs, but it works and he wants to help.
"These are great people," Zant said. "I enjoy working with them and seeing them get better."
More and more veterans have been returning home from war zones with severe concussions from roadside bombs and rocket-propelled grenades, Zant said.
"I could spend the rest of my life treating military men and women," he said.
He said there are an estimated 350,000 people in the military who are suffering from severe concussions or post-traumatic stress.
Many search in vain for treatment that will help.
The Army and the Veterans Affairs don't pay for hyperbaric oxygen treatment, but Zant said he hopes that will change soon.
Zant has neuropsychological tests in place to track patients' progress. He's compiled research reports and taken his findings to Congress to try to get coverage for the treatment.
"It's not guesswork," he said. "They get better."
After a severe concussion, neurons in the brain are damaged and don't connect properly. The oxygen therapy helps the brain generate new cells that can bring the neurons back to a functional level.
Okaloosa County Judge Patt Maney, a brigadier general in the Army Reserve, was wounded when an improvised bomb exploded under his Toyota Land Cruiser in Afghanistan in 2005.
A year after recovering from the injuries to his body, Maney's wife Caroline still had to help him get around. He couldn't remember what he was trying to do long enough to complete a task.
He couldn't find words to finish simple sentences. By the time he got to the end of a sentence he was reading, he'd forgotten what it said at the beginning. He couldn't follow television shows or balance his checkbook. He couldn't sleep.
"I could walk and talk but I wasn't functioning," Maney said.
His body was healing but his brain injuries were not.
He couldn't continue to perform his Army duties, and there was no way he could return to the court bench.
Zant, a friend of his, recommended the hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
"It totally saved my way of life. My quality of life has been restored because of him," Maney said.
Maney returned to the bench in June 2007, and has recommended the treatment at Zant's clinics in Destin and Fort Walton Beach to many veterans.
"Every wounded warrior that I have encouraged to go there had improvement. Every single one," Maney said.
He said he believes it is a "professional scandal" that the military and Veterans Affairs are not adequately treating brain injuries.
Cope and Maney have advocated for the DoD and VA to consider the treatment.
For now, Zant remains one of a handful of doctors across the country who offer the service for wounded warriors.
"I honestly think he's a hero both as a professional and for the community," Maney said.

I have a medium/ olive skintone with yellow undertones. My lips are slightly darker.
On me, this colour was the best. It's a beautiful coral and perfect to wear daily. Out of the colours I bought from the MAC All about orange collection (Razzledazzler, Sushi Kiss, Flamingo and Tangerine dream). This was one of my favourites. Highly recommend it!
Tart & Trendy ($15.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "bright neutral orange cream [with a Lustre finish]." It's a brightened, medium orange with a luminous finish and warm, slightly yellow undertones. It had mostly opaque color payoff with just a bit of sheerness–but it was definitely more pigmented than the average Lustre (which may be a happy accident for some!). I started my morning off wearing this, and it lasted three and a half hours on me. It felt somewhat drying (which is my typical experience with Lustres, so if you usually find them moisturizing, then we have opposite experiences, on average). Maybelline Electric Orange is redder in tone and a bit darker. MAC Booyah is slightly darker and more red-toned. MAC Good to Go has a strong red undertone and is darker. MAC Fashion Nomad is bit brighter/more intense. MAC Sounds Like Noise is lighter, yellower. MAC Saigon Summer is more muted and sheerer (which contributed to how much more muted it looked in comparison). MAC Morange is darker and redder. See comparison swatches.

I've been a collector as long as I can remember. I believe old objects have history, a story, heart, and a soul. To think a 17th century mirror can make it to the 21st century! I was lucky enough to be a part of the very first USA Chanel Boutique in Beverly Hills, in 1987. Coco believed in the aesthetics of details, just like the vintage finds and accessories I love to use to fill my home and my clients' homes.

Good dishwasher that fits when you do not have standard counter clearance. My kitchen was tiled around the base cabinets by the previous owner. This caused the opening for the dishwasher to be 33.5 inches(h). This dishwasher is one of the few that had legs that adjusted to the size I needed. The dishwasher is slightly smaller inside than the one it replaced, but we do not find this to be a problem. It runs quiet and was easy to install. It is not top of the line, but serves it's purpose and is a good value for the price.

We purchased this dishwasher for our new home and have been very disapointed. My biggest complaint is about the size. While is states a normal 24" depth, it is MUCH smaller than normal dishwashers. I have to do two loads just to get a nights dishes complete. My other complaint is the efficiency. On the 'normal' setting my dishes come out SOAKING wet. The only way to get them clean and dry is with the 'heavy' or 'sanitize' setting. This means my dishwasher has to use more energy and resources to do the job right. The design is not very well thought out either. Dishes don't seem to have a logical place and the tines do not allow for much flexibility. Overall, we are looking to sell this one and get another after only two weeks with this one.

Pump failed

Pump failed after about 3 years. Not worth it. Not a good value.

Love this dishwasher
By preschool
from Evanston, IL
We are a small part time preschool and just love the convenience of having a dishwasher. It is quiet and easy to load for our purposes. We will also use it for sanitizing toys during cold and flu season
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Dishwasher disaster
By Tbooker
from Undisclosed
We bought this dishwasher a month ago and are very unhappy. We have to literally clean the dishes spotless before putting them in to wash or the food does not get washed off in the dishwasher. The door pushes shut but does not always latch properly so we need to firmly hold it in place to get the cycle to start. The only thing we like about the dishwasher is the minimal noise it makes while running
Poor Quality in the GLDT696TSS Dishwasher
By PCSanders
from Clearwater, FL, United States
I purchased thi dishwasher about 2 years ago and had problems with the door gasket right from the start. GE did send repair guy and it was fixed. Now!, the thing stopped working with no power to the controls. Pulled it appart only to find that water has leaked on the top controls circuit board. This thing is out of here. I am the owner of all GE Profile appliances in my home except for this one. This is really unbelivable.
very good, quiet
By HarleyFXST07
from Dallas, TX, United States
So far we are very happy with this dishwasher. tis very quiet.
By jbinder
from Missouri
Poor design in so many ways. Top rack too shallow and glasses are tipsy in it. Bottom rack too open--glasses can fall right through if not placed strategically. Silverware basket on side is a TERRIBLE idea--things catch on gasket frequently. Worst design feature of all--gasket is not glued in and comes out EVERY TIME a rack is pulled out. "Normal" cycle is over 2 hours long. Now it has stopped drying dishes altogether. Mine is less than 5 years old. Did a mediocre job of cleaning from the beginning.
Not Happy!
By Dave1964

2 Years old and either the drain solenoid or control board are not working. In addition this dishwasher has never cleaned well and the layout is terrible. I wish we hadn't bought the whole matching set.
Not Durable
By Gringo

It is less than two years old and the control board has already gone out.

Wednesday, October 9, 2013
Bernice Carter, who lives in the Hemingway area — but grew up in Carvers Bay — leads a very busy life.
Four days a week she volunteers at the senior center in Hemingway where she plays the piano. She helps with other area senior programs, occasionally plays piano at her church — New Good Hope United Methodist in Pleasant Hill — and hosts a senior luncheon at her home twice each month.
Last year, she successfully got her driver's license renewed.
She does all this — and she turned 100 years old on Oct. 1.
On Sunday, a party was held in her honor at her church where a packed fellowship hall gathered to wish her well and to share memories they have made with her over the years.
Carter, the widow of Clifford Carter who was a Methodist minister, was born in Carvers Bay in 1913. The schools she attended were both destroyed by fire decades ago.
Carter said she attended Good Hope School during her elementary years and graduated from Union High School.
She said at the time it was the only high school in Georgetown County with the exception of the schools within Georgetown's city limits.
Carter did not attend college immediately after high school. She got married and decided to go to college about ten years later after she and her husband moved from Georgetown County because he was hired to pastor a church in the Upstate.
She first attended Central College — now known as Southern Wesleyan University — where she will be honored later this month during the college's homecoming activities.
In 1956 Carter received a degree in education from the University of South Carolina.
For the following three decades she taught at various schools in the state, changing schools when her husband would be hired at different churches.
She taught in elementary schools, mainly first grade, in places such as Laurens County, Greenville County and Oconee, saying "I loved those children so much."
Not only did she teach during those years, Carter was also the piano player in the churches at which her husband ministered, and she was raising two children — Travis Carter and Novyce King.
In 1987, after Mr. Carter's retirement, the couple moved back to the Hemingway area.
When talking about her volunteer work at the senior center, Carter likes to joke she goes to play the piano "for the old people."
Her son, Travis, uses the word "amazing" to describe his mother.
"She is the busiest and most involved person I know," he said. "She still lives by herself. She still washes her own clothes. She is incredible."
King said her mother "is not only the rock of our family, she is the soft lace we can fall to when we need it."
In 2010, Carter had cataract surgery which helped her revive her 20/20 vision.
Last year, at age 99, Carter passed the vision test and her driver's license was renewed.
She mainly drives around the Hemingway and Pleasant Hill areas.
One thing she rarely does is miss a church service.
"I don't care if it's raining or if it's snowing or if no one else is there. Mrs. Bernice will be at church," said Katrina McClellan, a member of the same church. "She loves everybody."
Of course, at age 100, Carter is routinely asked about the secret to her longevity.
"Just enjoy God's blessings and live a good life," Carter said. "Paul teaches us to try to be content with what you have. That is how I try to be. That is my motto. You have to make your own happiness."
And although she was enjoying a good old fashioned chicken bog and macaroni and cheese at her party, Carter said eating such foods should be saved for special occasions.
"I eat a lot of peas. A whole lot of peas. And all kinds of vegetables and fruit," she said.
Carter said she feels the technology the world has now makes things better "but I don't mess with any of it," she said of computers.
She said she has been on other people's Facebook pages but does not have one of her own.
S.C. Sen. Yancey McGill had a proclamation drafted in Carter's honor which was presented to her Sunday by Brad Richardson.
The proclamation describes Carter as a "loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother" and an "active member of the United Methodist Church for over 80 years."
"She has been a blessing and an inspiration to all who have known her," the proclamation states.

Comments On Jul 18, 2015:tire is better than the bighorn 2.0 but not quite on the same level as the original bighorn, but great value for your dollar.

Comments On Jun 03, 2015:I got the tusk trilobite HD in 26x9-12 and 26-10-12 for my rincon. I am very impressed with them. I havnt got much ride time on them but I have not doubt they will do well. These look just like the bighorns and if you want bighorns but don't want to spend the $$$, these are about the same. Very fast shipping also.

Comments On Feb 24, 2015:I replaced stock tires with these and really like the Maxis Big Horn but felt like they were a little spending so I went with these as I like the tread pattern. I have about 500 miles on them and have absolutely zero complaints. Have traveled mostly on rock,sand, dirt, snow and mud and I have seen great performance

Comments On Feb 05, 2015:Put these on this morning and road up and down the street. A lot smoother than the stock Maxxis tires on asphalt. My buddy that helped me put them on is now looking to get a set. Great price and fast shipping.

Comments On Sep 16, 2014:I compared these to the Bighorns, and I think these are well worth the money and I will definitely purchase these tires again. They are smooth and quiet on the hard pack, and very grippy on the trail. I have seen these on other machines, and they seem to last well.

Comments On Apr 13, 2014:Tires look like nice. I'm looking forward to getting some miles on, to test them out. There 's more flash around the tires then I have ever had on a new set of tires but it will not affect the tires and will come off after a few miles. Tread depth is 3\4" and on my rims the 26" tires measured 25.5 to 25.75 inches tall. If they perform well these will be a great deal.
Additional Comments On Jun 01, 2014:I have now put about 150 miles on these tires. They seem to perform well they don't offer the traction of the directional mud tires but that is what I was looking for. A good trail tire that will provide smooth consistent traction while allowing some sporty feel by allowing some ability to slide. My only issue is there is a bit of vibration above 35 mph so I'll see if I van get them balanced.

This movie RULES! :love: Rob Reiner and Frank Darabont should be the only people allowed to make King movies. Oh and King himself since I enjoyed Maximum Overdrive. ;)
Is there anybody out there....that didn't like this flick? :eek2:

This movie RULES! :love: Rob Reiner and Frank Darabont should be the only people allowed to make King movies. Oh and King himself since I enjoyed Maximum Overdrive. ;)
Is there anybody out there....that didn't like this flick? :eek2:
Oh, I suspect that there MUST be someone. Nothing can ever be universally loved. But "Stand By Me" is a truly marvellous piece of movie making, based on a very fine short story.
And doesn't it also show us what was lost with the premature and senseless death of River Phoenix? He could've gone onto to be one of the greats.
SK has a wonderful talent for bringing young characters to life and making them totally plausible. "Stand By Me" is a prime example of this, as is "IT" when the main characters encounter Pennywise first time around.
I really have nothing negative to say about this movie, which beautifully evokes the wonder and innocence of childhood.
Stand By Me is one of my favorite films of all time. I love the characters and the kids who play they.
It gave me an unreasonable dislike of Kiefer Sutherland (as Ace Merrill) that I've never been able to get over.
The Revenge of Lardass Hogan is a classic tale within the tale- and I laugh till I cry when I watch that part.
I just wish they had placed it in Castle Rock Maine, and not Castle Rock Oregon or Washington. I need my ficticious towns to stay in one spot and not relocate from state to state.
This is one of my all time favorites! I am not allowed to watch it with my husband since I can quote the entire movie verbatim...lol. It annoys him when I either say the lines out loud or even lip-synch them. :biggrin2: I can't help it, I've lost count how many times I've seen it. Got to be dozens.
This movie is in my top ten favorites of all time! I can watch this movie over, and over again. It is such a great story! :love:
It's one of my favorites too. I love that it recalls childhood so well. (Even though my childhood was a few years later than theirs:biggrin2:)
yeah, great movie. 'bout the only thing i questioned (and it seemed to follow the story politely) is what drawn to ka-tet laughed till tears came, and that is the revenge of lard-ass hogan. knew someone that is/was bulemic/anorexic...didn't have a hospital file, she had a file drawer. eating disorders. nasty business. wondered, whilst watching it, how that part was going over for her. dunno, maybe she got off on it, though she didn't let anyone know if she did. so maybe it was only me who was bothered by it, even though i said, yeah, wtg, hogan, you go boy!
i like the part when they're in the swamp water, come out covered in leeches. gordy pulls open his briefs and faints dead away. that's just one of the reasons why i'm glad i'm a girl, to quote lisey's little sister. larry, prostituting himself out there in california, had leeches on him, too, or so someone told him, time to get out of the pool.
channel ten is still not working. digital. hrummmmph!
This is a truly great movie. I love watching it and as the original poster said, only Frank Darabont and Rob Reiner should adapt SK's work.
It is a good film, no doubt, and I loved it even though I had no idea that it was based on Mr King's work at a time (this was many years before I read Different Seasons). But the hero being a writer (again) and the main topic being children and where their imagination and determination take them should have tipped me off.
This movie! I love the way it portals you into a kids head!! Kids are cool, and I can remember all the small insignificant stuff like puke stories, dares, etc. It's the small stuff that is the most important. I felt all warm and fuzzy after this one!

I have been using a raised planters box to grow 2 different varieties with moderate success. I believe that with this product I'll be able to grow 3 in the same box and expect much better yields.

- Inexpensive to try
Best Uses
- Tomato
I bought this to use for a Big Boy tomato plant. It was easy to set up and the plant looked very strong at first on our deck. When it was time to stake the plant, I put the 'bag' on top of the soil in our garden. The plant now is about 3 feet high and has set on two tomatoes, and the color is paler than it should be. We will see how it progresses through the summer.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Self contained
- It's A Bag Not Reusable
Best Uses
It's a small bag and the instructions say to add a plant in each hole (there are two) but there isn't enough space for the roots of two plants. It's a gimmick. I wish I had bought something else with my gift certificate.

OSHA's New GHS Haz Com Regulations: Challenges for Metalworking Formulators
Presenter: John Howell, Safety, Health & Environmental Specialist, GHS Resources, Inc.
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 12-1:00 p.m., with optional Q&A from 1-1:30 p.m.
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
Among the many challenges metalworking formulators need to understand is how to use the new GHS mixture rules to classify metalworking formulations. Another challenge is where to find raw material classification information if its not yet been provided by your raw material supplier. We will go through OSHA's new tiered approach for mixtures: use test data when available; use bridging principles if applicable and, if neither of these first two approaches work for you, how to estimate hazards based on known ingredient information. We will learn how to use the European Chemicals Agency's Classification and Labeling Inventory to ascertain classification information for raw materials and then work through the algorithms for skin and eye irritation and for acute toxicity. This will give formulators a head start in understanding how metalworking products will be classified under the new rules.
John K. Howell. Ph.D. has over 41 years experience in metal finishing and metalworking technology and in safety, health and environmental affairs. John received his BS and PhD degrees in Chemistry from Drexel University and a Master's degree in organizational development from Loyola University. After over twenty-three years at Castrol Industrial North America and predecessor companies, and eight years with DA Stuart as Safety, Health and Environmental Advisor and with Primagy Consultants, John is now Vice President, GHS Resources, Inc. Previously, John has served as Chairman, Independent Lubricant Manufacturers Association H&S Task Force and as a member of OSHA's Metalworking Fluids Standards Advisory Committee. John currently chairs ASTM Committee E34 on Occupational Health & Safety and is former Chair of E34.50 on Health & Safety Standards for Metalworking Fluids. John is also past Chair of the STLE Metalworking Fluid Steering Committee and Certification Subcommittee. John has published or presented many technical papers on metalworking fluid health and safety topics.
