Great buy :)

A Rovers side missing Rudy Gestede, Ben Marshall and new recruit Chris Brown drew a fourth successive game on Sunday to conclude their round of friendlies.
Jordan Rhodes' opener was cancelled out by Bojan's equaliser at Ewood Park, which is the venue for the domestic season's first competitive game when Cardiff visit on Friday.
Bowyer will hope the sickness which has spread through his camp is gone by the time that contest rolls around, but he remains upbeat about that prospect, as well as Brown's minor knee niggle.
"I'd be very disappointed if we didn't have everybody ready for Friday," Bowyer told the club's official website.
"We've just got one or two that are trying to catch up with the illness that has gone through the camp, but they trained Sunday morning so we are hopeful that they can join the squad Monday and crack on.
"Rudy came back from international duty and he wasn't very good at all. We tried to get him back; he did a training day here at Ewood and he only lasted half of the session.
"So he's just getting back and just getting his strength back, and hopefully he can join in with training on Monday.
"Ben Marshall trained on Sunday morning, he's getting stronger every day so I fully expect him to be in the squad on Friday.
"Chris Brown had his best day of training on Saturday so hopefully he can pick that up this week.
"We've had quite a few get the bug but hopefully now everybody is over that. We're just looking forward to Friday now."

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – The Dakota Wesleyan University women's basketball team ended its historic season Wednesday night with an 80-67 loss to Briar Cliff University in a Great Plains Athletic Conference Tournament quarterfinal game in Sioux City, Iowa.
The Tigers finished the year 20-11, marking just the fourth 20-win season in DWU women's basketball history. This year marked the first time since 2003-04 the Tigers have won 20 games, and the second winning season in the past five years. Dakota Wesleyan was ranked in the NAIA Top 25 Coaches' Poll for the first time since 2003-04 this year, making it has high as No. 24. Dakota Wesleyan beat three ranked opponents, including No. 2 Concordia and No. 9 Briar Cliff University, this season. The win against Concordia marked the first win against a top-five team since upsetting Northwestern in 2009.
It was also a big year for several individuals. This weekend, junior Kim Johnson became the 17th player in DWU women's basketball history to score 1,000 career points with a 20-point performance against Briar Cliff. Wednesday night, teammate Amanda Hart scored the 1,000th point of her Tiger career. Hart, a junior, needed five points to hit the milestone, and scored six points in DWU's loss to the Chargers to finish the season with 1,001 career points. She also set the record for 3-pointers in a career with 284 in three seasons.
Dakota Wesleyan entered Wednesday game coming off a 24-point win over the Chargers – ranked No. 9 in the NAIA at the time – but the Tigers couldn't seem to carry any of that momentum over. The Tigers came out cold, and shot just 25 percent in the first half. Briar Cliff went on a 12-4 run to start the game, and led 19-8 with 9:07 left in the half. Back-to-back baskets by Kim Johnson made it a five-point game, 21-16, with 7:46 left in the half, and the Tigers later made it a four-point game on a basket by Katie Johnson, but the Chargers always had an answer.
A free throw by Taylor Piper made it a five-point game, 28-23, with 3:19 left before halftime, but the Chargers banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to make it a 10-point game, 37-27.
Briar Cliff pushed its lead to 12 to start the second half, and made it a 13-point game, 50-37, with 15:24 left to play. The Tigers put together a 9-0 run that included a three by Celeste Beck to make it a three-point game, 53-50, with 10:57 left, but Kelsey Evans hit a pair of free throws and the Chargers got a steal and a layup to push their lead back to seven, 57-50, and their lead never wavered from there.
Kim Johnson finished with 16 points to pace the Tigers, who shot just 31.2 percent from the field. Brittany Hills added 13 points and Elizabeth Lamb added 11 in their final games as a Tiger. Hills also had eight rebounds. DWU went 6-for-30 from long range and 13-for-19 from the line. The Tigers had 26 turnovers.
Slone Masters led all scorers with 19 points for the Chargers (23-8). She also had 12 rebounds. Heather Haber added 13 points and Sarah Reeves had 12, and Evans finished with nine points and 13 rebounds. Briar Cliff shot 36.2 percent from the field, went 29-for-39 from the line, out rebounded DWU 58-45 and had 25 rebounds. The Chargers play Morningside Saturday in a semifinal game.
Lamb and Hills are the Tigers' only two seniors. Dakota Wesleyan returns many key players, including Hart and Johnson, in 2013-14.

Rockwell Collins' chief executive sees a potential long-term opportunity for avionics upgrades for the Airbus A320neo.
CEO Clayton Jones says the re-engined A320 will have a long service life, and there may be "a block point change at some point of time" on the avionics suite. In that event, the airframer might decide to buy new electronic technologies that offer more reliability and less weight, he says, creating an opportunity for Collins to gain market share.
Jones' comments at the Credit Suisse Aerospace and Defense Conference highlight the different strategies on avionics taken by Boeing on the 737 Max and its rival.
In May, Airbus decided to re-select current A320 avionics supplier Thales to continue providing the cockpit suite for the re-engined version of the aircraft.
Boeing, however, decided to upgrade the re-engined 737 Max cockpit with Collins large format displays, replacing products formerly supplied on the 737NG by Honeywell.
The 737 Max win is considered a coup for Collins, which has steadily increased its presence at Boeing with avionics placements on the 787 and KC-46 tanker.
Collins also sees an opportunity to extend its gains at Boeing with the possibility of the 777X widebody. Honeywell is the existing avionics supplier for the 777 family, but Boeing could consider alternatives as it considers a re-engined and possibly re-winged version of the large airliner.

Below is the poem entitled I am lost until I find you which was written by poet
Okonkwo. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Chuma Okonkwo
I should have known your absence would bring agony
I should have known distance had claws
I should have known tears could bite
Then I would have thought better and not let you go.
Like Achilles sword, our distance pierces through my soul
Leaving me with a never-to-fill-up and ineffaceable aperture
That I wish I could close the wounds with my expressivity
But our severance has driven me into expressive motor aphasia.
I stare into my world, my azure sky looks darkened
I see nothing; I feel nothing; but only your absence
I've tried to make my heart static, yet it keeps trembling
I'm totally lost until I find you.
Whenever I recall our covenant- never to be apart
The memories hound me; and I feel guilt-ridden.
My emotions run over me and put me on guilt trip
And I feel mortified for letting you off my world.
I regurgitate the juice of unending friendship we drank
Just to have a facsimile taste of what I used to have, now lost
I loved your body; I was proud of your figure
And I will always celebrate you.

Rumi "Empty the Glass of Your Desire"
Poems are like pictures reflecting in water, they never seem to be what they look like. You are always second guessing yourself into what you think the poets side of view or what they are trying to accomplish through their poems. Personally I have always disliked poems, because I could never figure out what he/she was trying to convey through there writings. When reading through many of Rumi's poems I have found my self in that same boat. Just can't quit figure out everything that is stated. One poem that I did enjoy reading, for the most part was "Empty the Glass of your desire," from his selected lyric poems in the book Love is a Stranger.
The poem seems to stem from the idea that you need to stop thing of your desires and just enjoy what you have in life here and now. There are always going to be so many different desires that you want. You need to really think which ones are important in life and which ones are not. You as a human need to forget about the petty things that gets in the way. As stated in his poem "you keep complaining about others and all they owe you?" Dwelling on what people should be doing or what you think that they may owe you just makes your life even harder and more complicated. Then it goes on saying "well forget about them; just be in His presence." What does Rumi mean by this? Is he suggesting that if they know that they owe you something it will be in their mind more and have more of an affect mentally? Or is he suggesting that all you need to do is, be in "His" presence, referring to god himself. I don't know! If he was, how is that going to make you forget about what you think others oweyou? I just get lost reading poems. I try to understand what they are trying to convey. But I usually end up confusing myself even more. I just felt that Rumi's main message is to just think of you and take care of yourself. Not to always worry about the little things that seem to bother you day in and day out. Take advantage of what the world has and not what it could be.

Economics Senior Spotlight - John Schipper, HC '13
When Mike Murphy, Haverford's previous lacrosse coach, saw John Schipper '13 playing in a lacrosse tournament, he approached John about visiting Haverford and doing an over-night visit. It wasn't a long trip from his hometown in Long Island, New York, so he visited the campus his senior year of high school. He was impressed with the campus's beauty, the strong academics, and the lacrosse team's warm welcome.
John has played as a midfielder on the lacrosse team for all four years of his college career. He is an active member of the team's Leadership Council, which is responsible for fundraising, team community service activities, and upholding its program goals.
Upon enrolling at Haverford College he knew he was going to major in physics or in economics. The pronounced calculus in Professor Ghosh's Introduction to Economics course deepened his passion for economics, as did Prof. Bish Banerjee's Economics of Transition course. Reading journals and relating what goes on in the world from an economic perspective harmonized with his interests, clinching his decision to major in economics.
As is the norm for economics majors, summer internships play a big role. As a rising Junior he worked for a small alternate investment management firm, HonorVerus Research, a company housed in Long Island that specializes in trading futures. Focusing on the technical analysis of the basics of what drives the futures market, he simulated trades throughout the day, analyzing and presenting his findings to members of the organization.
This past summer John worked closely with economics Professor Anne Preston, performing data analysis (using STATA software) on labor market and social preference studies. Some of the focus was on the European Soccer League, and the 1995 Bosman Rule, a ruling that gave players more freedom to join other teams and clubs once their contracts expired.
For his thesis he is comparing bank profitability between a Euro member country, Slovakia, and a non-Euro member country, Poland, throughout the European sovereign debt crisis. More specifically, he is going to attempt to define the differing internal and external determinants of bank profitability over time for Slovakia and Poland, hoping to determine how regulation, ownership structure and balance sheet structure influence profitability through a crisis. He also hopes to identify whether the regime under which banks operate can partly explain variation in their individual bank performance between countries and see how this changes during a crisis period.
With graduation rapidly approaching, John is interviewing with companies in the financial services industry. He is particularly interested in sales and trading and investment banking. After a few years of work experience, he is contemplating enrolling in graduate school to further his degree in economics, and he is also considering earning a business degree.
During the summer before his sophomore year John spent the summer giving sailing lessons at a private yacht club in his hometown. Sailing is one of John's passions, as is his position as co-president of Haverford's Republican Club.

Wil Nieves Rumors
Phillies Sign Wil Nieves
2:39pm: Heyman reports that Nieves is guaranteed $1.125MM and can earn up to $500K in performance bonuses (Twitter link).
THURSDAY, 1:36pm: The Phillies announced Nieves' deal, which ESPN's Jayson Stark notes is a Major League pact.
TUESDAY: The Phillies are set to sign catcher Wil Nieves, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (on Twitter). Nieves is represented by MDR Sports Management, as shown in the MLBTR Agency Database.
Nieves, 36, hit .297/.320/.369 in 206 plate appearances for the Diamondbacks last season. Arizona retained the veteran with a one-year, $800K deal right around this time last year. For his career, Nieves owns a .242/.283/.314 across ten big league seasons.

Angels Looking For Backup Catcher
SUNDAY: The Angels are said to like Chris Snyder and Ramon Hernandez with ex-Angel Bobby Wilson, in camp with the Yankees, an interesting possibility, tweets Kevin Baxter of the Los Angeles Times. MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez adds Rod Barajas and Wil Nieves, both with the Diamondbacks, and Brett Hayes and George Kottaras, both with the Royals, as other possibilities.
FRIDAY: The Angels "have been out looking for a backup catcher," tweets Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com.
The team entered the spring hoping that former high-end prospect Hank Conger would lay claim to the back-up spot behind starter Chris Iannetta. As Mike DiGiovanna of The Los Angeles Times explored back in February, the team was also considering two journeymen, John Hester and Luke Carlin. Still young at 25 and offering a natural complement to Iannetta's right-handed bat, Conger seemed the obvious choice if he could move past his history of inconsistency and injury.
Despite Conger's excellent start on the offensive side of the plate this spring, however, he has struggled behind the dish. While manager Mike Scioscia has previously expressed confidence that Conger would rein in his wildness in the throwing game, Conger made three errors with his arm last Sunday. Entering his final option year, the Angels could elect to allow Conger to work out his issues back in Triple-A Salt Lake. For their part, Hester and Carlin have limited track records at the major league level and are sporting anemic batting lines in pre-season action.
If the Halos are unwilling to let Conger test his arm in a real game, the club may be looking at limited options for an upgrade. A glance at MLBTR's Free Agent Tracker reveals Matt Treanor as the lone unsigned, free agent backstop. Barring a more significant trade, the Angels could consider dealing (or scouring the waiver wire) for a more established option as teams like the Diamondbacks and Rockies decide which of their veteran catching options will make their opening day rosters.

Diamondbacks Sign Wil Nieves
The Diamondbacks have signed Wil Nieves to be their backup catcher, reports Jack Magruder of FOXSportsArizona.com (via Twitter). Nieves' deal will be for one year and $800K, according to Magruder.
Nieves had been non-tendered by Arizona last week, perhaps because the D-Backs thought they were adding Eli Whiteside. The D-Backs put in a waiver claim for Whiteside after he was designated for assignment by the Yankes, but the Blue Jays won the claim.
MLBTR had projected an $800K salary for Nieves through arbitration.

Wil Nieves Elects Free Agency
FRIDAY: Nieves has cleared waivers and rejected an assignment to the minors, reports Troy Renck of the Denver Post. Nieves is eligible for free agency on Saturday.
WEDNESDAY: The Rockies announced that they designated catcher Wil Nieves for assignment after reinstating him from the 15-day disabled list (Twitter link). Nieves appeared in 16 games for the Rockies this year, but has been sidelined since July 8th with turf toe.
The 34-year-old posted a .298/.333/.404 batting line in 51 plate appearances this year. The nine-year MLB veteran has a career line of .226/.272/.296 that is likely more indicative of his abilities on offense.

Rockies Links: Guthrie, Scutaro, Betancourt, Nieves
The Rockies are one of the few teams in baseball who are firmly out of contention, and thus figure to be sellers as the trade deadline approaches. Here's the latest on some of Colorado's top trade chips, courtesy of Troy Renck and Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post…
- Jeremy Guthrie's continued struggles are ruining the starter's trade value, writes Renck. Guthrie has a 6.35 ERA in 19 games this season, including a whopping 9.50 ERA at Coors Field. Renck suggests that the Rockies could limit Guthrie only to road starts in order to properly showcase him for any trade suitors.
- Marco Scutaro has drawn interest from the Pirates and Rangers, reports Renck and Saunders, in addition to the Tigers' known interest in the veteran infielder. Scutaro would be an upgrade over Clint Barmes at shortstop for the Pirates, and he would provide the Rangers with middle infield depth behind Elvis Andrus and Ian Kinsler.
- The Braves and Red Sox have shown some interest in Rafael Betancourt. We heard last month from ESPN's Buster Olney that the Rockies "would have to be overwhelmed" to deal Betancourt or Matt Belisle.
- The Nationals have scouted Wil Nieves. The catcher played for Washington from 2008-10 and has a .738 OPS in 51 plate appearances for Colorado after signing a minor league deal with the Rockies in December. Nieves is on the DL with a turf toe injury. The Nats also asked about Colorado's Ramon Hernandez as they continue to look for catching help.
- Scouts say the Rockies want pitching back in any deal.

West Links: Dodgers, Rangers, A's, Mariners, Pujols
Time for some links from baseball's two West divisions…
- "I think so," said Dodgers GM Ned Colletti when asked if he was done with his free agent shopping, reports Dylan Hernandez of The Los Angeles Times (on Twitter). They re-signed Mike MacDougal to a one-year deal today, the tenth free agent they've signed this winter.
- The Rangers continue to have dialogue about long-term contract extensions with core players like Ian Kinsler and Derek Holland, reports Richard Durrett of ESPN Dallas. "Our general feeling is to try not to negotiate during the year, but we've made exceptions," said GM Jon Daniels.
- Daniels also refused to comment about the Rangers' talks with Yu Darvish, reports MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan. "It's best for us to lay low," said the GM. "The less noise around that, the better."
- Athletics GM Billy Beane told MLB.com's Jane Lee that he has some interest in a few free agent outfielders, and he's also exploring trade possibilities (Twitter link). Bullpen help is another possibility, says Joe Stiglich of The Bay Area News Group (on Twitter).
- Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik said they are "still keeping our ears open" regarding veteran starters even after signing Hisashi Iwakuma, reports Shannon Drayer of MyNorthwest.com (on Twitter).
- ESPN's Buster Olney says (on Twitter) that the union calculated the value of Albert Pujols' contract with the Angels at $246,841,811. Ronald Blum of the AP has a breakdown of the perks in the contract, such as a suite on road trips.
- Troy Renck of The Denver Post has the details of Wil Nieves' minor league contract with the Rockies (on Twitter). The backstop will earn $700K in the majors and $14K per month in the minors. He's also been invited to Spring Training.

Minor Moves: Wil Nieves
Let's keep track of today's minor league signings here…

NL East Notes: Marlins, Lowe, Nieves
The NL East looks much different than it did 24 hours ago. Carlos Beltran is out, Zack Wheeler is in and the Phillies and Braves will have to turn elsewhere in their respective searches for offense. Here are the details on the division…
- The Marlins are asking for a lot in exchange for Leo Nunez and Randy Choate and Ricky Nolasco and Anibal Sanchez are off-limits at this point, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (on Twitter).
- It appears that the Braves will hold onto Derek Lowe, according to Heyman (on Twitter).
- The Brewers obtained $1 from the Braves for catcher Wil Nieves, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com (on Twitter). That's right – one dollar. The Braves will pay Nieves' remaining salary while he plays for their Triple-A affiliate.

Violence against women manifested in Kampala riots
"And that was not all. I also saw, for the first time in my life, women being undressed in public by rioters. Whether these women were being looked at as bad omens no one knows." Paul Musangi. This was extracted from a Daily Monitor story which entailed ordeals of those who are held up and shot in Kampala riots just over a week ago.
Another notable comment: "Hooligans tried to pull our mainly female students out of the tour jeep, tried to smash the windows of our car, and damaged the first of our three tour vehicles."
The riots in Kampala were sparked off by government's refusal of the Kabaka to visit Kayunga because the Banyala wanted him to seek permission from their leader. But in the end 21 people were killed and hundreds were injured in battle that saw the police resort to live ammunitions.
I picked Musangi's words because up to now no one has explained or paid attention to the abuse of women during the riot. This reminded of an incident when the police publicly humiliated Kampala woman MP, Nabillah Sempala by trying to undress her during her arrest at a political rally in the city. Nabillah's incident was captured by TVs and it was in the pictures but few put attention on the increasing humiliation of women in political battles in Uganda. I watched this video in disbelief and wondered what could have prompted police officers to resort to this.
This was so difficult for the female lawmaker to narrate to journalists that she sobbed in the middle of interview. But her sobbing was not enough to make women in parliament to make a big statement. Even the Old Kampala Police Commander, Moses Mwanga went ahead to justify the undressing of the Member of Parliament within parliament.
And we never saw any action from female MPs of whom majority were voted because they are women (read Affirmative action). Not a walk out or no nothing to show their positions and part of the problem is because for most of them belong to the ruling party where they are more less home mamas who have no role in political decision making or influencing it. The only reaction that made headlines was Kahinda Otafiire's who instead blamed the police actions on Nabillah's beauty.
"If it were me they wouldn't have undressed me, it's because she beautiful."
And where were our so called women activists who have for the greater part turned the field into donor-money getting one. Or was it because this story was not juicy enough to sell to the donors?
Well this one of the women in the riots for sure is a good one to talk about. So far I haven't seen any woman interviewed who went through these humiliating experiences. I am no femmist but it's only natural that when a person is wronged most that we pay more attention to them. We all know that violence against women is like a culture that some women have accepted and actually go ahead to say if your man doesn't beat you then he doesn't love you. But for those abused in the riots to tell a story as being one of those 'who were undressed in the riot' is a difficult one.
We can't be silent about this public display of violence against women. What did women have to do with the decisions of the government and Kabaka? It's not clear how many women died in this riot but you can be sure many faced the most abuse just because they are women. If we can't hear stories of those who were undressed, God knows if we will ever know those of some who might have faced greater abuse like raped in these riots.
Some women I understand were being attacked for wearing trousers but this is just a lame excuse because Uganda is no Sudan. Women wearing trousers in most of Uganda is not seen as bad enough to evoke hostility. In places like Bosnia, we saw many women humiliated as men in the conflict resorted to rape as a weapon of war and most of their stories are yet to be heard. I fear that if Kampala or Uganda faces a much bigger riot or turmoil, the women will not survive this abuse. You can say those who were undressed in the riot were in the wrong place at the wrong time but who are the 'wrong people' who carried out these acts? They are there among us and if Kampala succumbs to another bigger battle – God forbid- they will come out and will be ready to humiliate women again and this time it will be at a larger scale. And if Museveni is to compensate those that lost their properties, how can we 'compensate' for these women's lost dignity?
Rita permalinkSeptember 21, 2009 5:38 am
This is why when these riots take place, it's not really those who are fighting for the intended cause that participate, but the hooligans who do not even care about the cause that take part. What did undressing these innocent women have to do with kabaka or Museveni.
I fear for another war brewing up and rebels or the government taking advantage of this foolishness to kill people. It's sad but people need to find something better to do than turn to chaos and foolishness.
Atwwine Agnes permalinkSeptember 26, 2009 8:46 am
This is the trouble. Many innocents are subjected to crossfire aka collatoral damage in situations such as the one seen lately in Uganda. Simply then, safeguards should be put in place:
Respect for all, and getting rid of nepotism and cronism in our society. Every woman is someone's daughter/sister/wife/mother: Let our women be respected: But these things happen due to leadership misrepresentation of women who have dared challenge the poor leadership e.g.Why does M7 victimise Nnamboze on tramped up charges of terrorism? Why do women in Mityana die in child-labour? So when riots occur the women suspected of being part of twaaliire will get the blunt of people's anger. So M7 has not respected Ugandan women except his own daughters for whom he uses the presidential jet so they can deliver their babies in London or Germany whilst the rest suffer. End result Ugandan women need a liberator today from M7.

Full detailed profile on Erin Lavery Played by Connie Fletcher on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
Connie Fletcher
Birthday: 1982-11-08
Ryan visits the cemetery, stopping at Erin's grave to tell her about Annie. "I wish you could be there when we say our vows," he says emotionally. Slowly he approaches the tombstone to return Erin's comic book. Ryan leaves, telling Erin that she is his hero.
"No way this is an accident," says Josh to the police. The white ribbon, the flower...it's identical to how Simone was found.
Zach responds to Josh's call, and doesn't tell Kendall where he's headed. To Kendall's displeasure, he grabs Annie off the porch, where she's waiting for Ryan, and insists she wait with Kendall. He also makes a quick call, doubling the security on his family.
Annie offers her condolences over Simone's death. Suddenly, Kendall asks if she's considered looking for Emma's biological father. She says she doesn't think it's a good idea, and then asks Kendall a question of her own: What made her choose Zach over Ryan?
When Zach shows up at the Fusion roof, Derek can't understand how he got there so quickly�how did he know? The police are all over the Fusion roof; Jonathan wanders up and sees his sister, lying dead. He gets hysterical, and begs them to get a doctor�but them tell him it's too late. He embraces Erin and promises to take care of her.
Ryan arrives, and Jonathan begs him to "tell them that our sister didn't die." Ryan tries to get Jonathan to come home with him. Jon doesn't want to leave Erin, and Ryan gently tells him that Erin is dead. Jon breaks away from him, rushes into the clubs and starts grabbing people, hollering "who did it�was it you?"
Erin and Di are at conFusion, discussing the events of the day. Is Di "giving" Aidan to Erin?
Aidan comes up to Zarf, and asks if he's "Freddie Luper" from Indiana. "She's dead," replies Zarf. Zarf point out Erin and Di, and asks "which one is mine?"
Zarf runs into Erin and asks her a series of questions about what she hopes and long for.Josh is at the gym, taking out his frustrations on a punching bag, and shooting the breeze with Amanda. She tells him that he doesn't understand how difficult it is to live in a town where one has to see some you love but can't have.
Later that evening, Josh goes up to the roof, where he find Erin--dead!
Zach comes to the Fusion office, and announces that the coroner's report says that Simone died of a drug overdose, taking a "party drug." Nobody can believe it, and Kendall is sure that someone killed her.
Zarf breezes in and suddenly says "I'm sorry." Zach wants to know if Zarf is the one who gave Simone the drug that killed her. Bianca intercedes and tells them not to misunderstand. Zarf doesn't mean his apology to imply that he's sorry for Simone's death.
Zarf says that Simone might still be alive if Simone had accepted his proposition. Zach and Ryan again ask if Zarf gave Simone the drug. "What has Miss Kendall been lying about," replies Zarf. An angry Kendall demands that Zarf leave now!
Zach calls some of his contacts and asks them to check out Zarf.
A grief-stricken Erin asks Jonathan to help her find the person who sold/gave Simone the drugs that killed her.
The Fusion gals and Bianca are in the office, discussing Simone's death�they can't believe she'd kill herself. They all drink Bloody Mary's [Simone's favorite drink] in her honor, laugh and reminisce about her. Zarf enters, and sensing the darkness of their auras, asks "who died?"
Zarf waxes philosophical and says that Simone has fulfilled her destiny�and that there is no reason to mourn. He and Bianca go to the roof to chat and she chides him for lack of compassion, and asks if he's ever grieved for someone. "For myself," he responds.
"Do you think I've always been Zarf the rock star? There's been many changes along the way. Everyone changes, everyone dies."
Bianca comes back into the office and Kendall asks her if she's gotten rid of Zarf. She says she didn't, and that he's a unique person.
Julia and the gang continue their celebration at ConFusion, laughing and toasting their new living arrangements as Erin enters looking distraught.
Annie and Ryan run into ConFusion behind Erin and excitedly tell of their trip before Erin can speak. Jonathon takes her aside and asks what's wrong - nothing you can do anything about she replies. She decides to stay silent for the moment.
At ConFusion, Erin is drinking heavily. Jon notices and asks again if she is alright. Del loudly declares that life "at the big W" will be a non-stop party. Julia teasingly reminds him that some of them have real jobs. As they share yet another toast, Erin drops her glass and cries out.
Erin breaks down sobbing. Ryan and Jonathon beg her to tell them what's wrong. "She's dead", she cries�
Erin tearfully describes a scene from the office where Zarf had stripped down and pitched an idea that all the girls should get naked as well. She remembers the look that gutsy Simone gave her - this is all so unreal she cries. Aiden and Jonathon want to know how she died. They don't know yet, Erin tells them. Jamie excuses himself to phone his Dad. Erin ominously says the she thought the bad times were over, but they never really are.

Even as their spending on instruction, research and public service declined or stayed flat, most colleges and universities rapidly increased their spending on sports, according to a report being released Monday by the American Association of University Professors.
"Increasingly, institutions of higher education have lost their focus on the academic activities at the core of their mission," the association said in its report. "The spending priority accorded to competitive athletics too easily diverts the focus of our institutions from teaching and learning to scandal and excess."
For years, the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, a watchdog group of academic leaders and others, has been documenting, and deploring, the race in sports expenditures at the most competitive level, Division I. But this report is believed to be the first that also compares educational spending and athletic spending, over time, at Division II and III schools and at community colleges.

LOL... Good catch... make him read his wikipedia for comprehension on quotations!!!
Sorry Free... epic fail... (you'll get the next one :)
Hello, my name is LoE and I am an addict.
Dang it... didn't mean to come back here...I was on step 7... yet...here I am... : ) sheesh... well since I am here... here is my comment:
Awwww look at all of ya'll with the new names... now some of you still need to get some cool avatars! I recommend monkeys cuz I like monkeys... wait, no, actually I just like pictures of monkeys... never met a real monkey up close... anyhow... monkeys or any other zoo or circus type animal... mala... you too... avatar, avatar, avatar... maybe one of those plastic dancing hula girls made for the car dash...
Can we pah pah pahleeeeeese unite and agree to henceforth NEVER use the classy phrase "panties in a wad"... I am literally as sick of seeing that as I was seeing the stinking firefly song words and link!!! Anybody else???
@OYE, So you are saying that your purpose here is to argue. Well then you "fit" right in with the rest of us apparently, so carry on :)
New questions: I wonder, are there any "rumors" circulating about Terri Horman and this case that are just too far out there for even you to consider? Are there any of the "Haters" suggestions that appall you and if so, do you take them to task for it? Have you ever admonished anyone on "your side of the fence" for anything they have posted?
Over all, to me it seems we are all looking at the same things and coming away with our own point of view. (Karma, where is your Saxe poem about the elephant and the blind men?) And I think that there is something wrong with all of you who believe the way you do that she is guilty and admit that a large part of it is just "a feeling". I personally need more than a feeling... (cue Boston music, LOL). But, just like those blind men in the poem we are all convinced that our conclusion must be the correct one... and so we will argue into infinity (or until the case is resolved, whichever comes first). You probably noticed that I am not up for it as frequently as others... because I get bored with the redundancy... but I pop in and pop off when the mood strikes.
... And now, fyi, speaking only for myself, I am not a friend or relative or acquaintance of Terri's, I have never had a family member wrongly accused of any crime, I have no desire to be an "armchair" detective or attorney or a rebel, and I most certainly would not "stick up for any criminal first". So you have at least one of us pegged completely wrong. Which is just to point out to you that You Can Be Wrong about what you think... ;-P Also bear in mind that I am not a "tard", I am indeed from NM (sitting right here in the Land of Enchantment as I type), and I guess I am okay with being a misfit if the definition is not "fitting" into your idea of what the whole world SHOULD believe about TH. You might turn out to be correct. But you might also be wrong. If TH were actually on trial; and you and I were on the jury together; and all we were presented was what has come out thus far; I would NOT be voting to convict Terri and you would be voting to convict, ergo, we would end up with a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury.
I will absolutely agree that I too want the maximum penalty allowed meted out for whatever has happened to Kyron, but I want it to be served on the right person, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
@Itsa, +++++++++++++++ad infinitum
@OYE, Do you mind if I ask you what your purpose is in posting here? I am not questioning your right to interact in any manner you see fit on any forum you choose, I am simply trying to understand the purpose behind it? Do you hope to change someone else's thinking or beliefs regarding TH? Are you open to having your thinking or beliefs changed? You have said several times that this is the one last small group of hold-outs or terri supporters, misfits (really? gee thanks for that one:P)... or whatever other name you have called us.. and it seems to me that your primary interest is either to "convert" (for lack of a better term) us to your beliefs regarding the guilt of TH or see if anything can be said to "convert" you. Is there more to it that I am not seeing?
@mala, So, just to stay up to speed in my acronym spreadsheet... "we" might also be referred to as TTLBPAROF's henceforth, yes?
Would that be anything similar to Minny's chocolate pie... ??
@OYE, Hard to say really... at the time my opinion was that they were "friends" or acquaintances possibly, but then we were all at least a little gullible initially regarding a certain "Dreamer" who really was nothing more than an ambulance chasing delusional air head who felt the need to "insert" herself into this case... so it is quite possible that those were simply more of the same ilk.
Hey you... go bake me some cookies or something, would ya? *smile*
@OYE, Unfortunately, you missed some really good stuff by some really good, smart, sharp people who have long since given up on "beating the horse". You also definitely missed some really repugnant and loathsome behaviour by some seemingly mentally unstable people. It might be eye opening (har har) for you to go back to the earliest stories here on OL and read the comments at that time. The rest of us long timers probably still have pretty good recall of those days, weeks, months of "conversations" here.
@OYE... leave this out??? leave this out??? Are you kidding me....??? We have been over this UMPTEEN kajillion times... where were you? ...and yes, I did count ;P
@Cherylcf, I can certainly believe that some conscientious reporters "might" read comments on articles they have written, at least maybe a few pages worth, but I still highly doubt that they read thousands of comments that really don't pertain to the specific article that precedes the comments... especially not with the intent of looking for reviews, critiques, or feedback. Either way, my own comment was asking if anyone had tried a more direct approach.... and I noticed that not a single person, including yourself, responded in the positive to that query. I did send an email to Ms. Terry with my questions, and received a response from her... wait for it... saying that she did not respond to "anonymous" commenters. (I used my Land of Enchantment moniker and email address)... so unless I am willing to give her my name, (which I am not) then I am not to expect any additional response... right? Now I am wondering if I had used "Jane Smith" or any other made up name, would I have received a more courteous reply? (It's not like she could have or would have made the effort to verify it being correct after all) Lesson learned. If anyone else chooses to attempt contact, be forewarned to give "a" name. :)
Just curious to know if anyone here has directly contacted OL or any of the reporters (specifically those mentioned who have written articles regarding this case) to ask them for something more in depth as to the investigation itself? I personally have not done so, but have been guilty of complaining regarding the lack of information disclosed. I doubt that the reporters or editors take the time to read thru the copious comments on the Kyron stories looking to see if there are suggestions for them, but perhaps they might respond to a direct inquiry. If anyone has had any type of contact with them, could you please let us know the result? If not, may I suggest that some of "us" make that attempt? Couldn't hurt, right? I am going to do so right now. Will let you know what I find out. :)
@T_J, Alas, that will never happen. Mala (and many others here) have a strange fascination for every word WT utters... which is sometimes painful to observe... and I lost the "battle" to retire WT thanks to all those suckers...but it serves as very interesting dinner conversation... so *carry on* folks :)
Stay off my computer you brat!!
et tu Karma?
people... okay... it's obviously past time to put the WT persona away... FYI ... WT exists purely as an antagonist on this board. It is a persona... not a real person with a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other waging war over being good or being evil. No rock hard abs or rhinestone studded jackets. Not a master of facts. Just a persona. Thanks for trying, but you can't fix something that isn't broken in the first place... ;-\
@T_J, Not sure what your personal beef with VW is all about (and don't need to know any details...so seriously, don't share) but please do not discount that she has been on this board for a very long time adding valuable insight regarding the school/school systems/policies etc., and she made a great effort on her personal vacation to spread posters of Kyron throughout the western states. I think that in itself is an invaluable contribution that few others have matched, don't you?
In the video interview on KGW that Karma posted, Kaine brought up the little boy in Texas who was missing for 8 years, and said "we keep seeing those cases again and again and again and there is no reason to think that this is not going to turn out be one of those as well; so with that in mind and no information saying that we should believe otherwise, we've just gotta keep going"
He is indisputably privvy to more information than we, (the general public), have been given and he certainly sounds as though he, believes Kyron is alive too...
@Anne, always a pleasure to see and hear from you as well :) I sure miss the witty writing of days gone by on this forum which seems to have mostly been replaced with bitter barbs and non-creative name-calling... sigh... !

History of our Dogs
History of our Dogs
Over 30 years ago we bred Mountain Feist into our bear dogs and got what we refer to as Smoky Mountain Feist. Before I proceed in describing these dogs I want to pay homage to the men who lived on the Tennessee side of the Smoky Mountains that bred out the Mountain Feist and bear dogs theses dogs descend from. If it weren't for their efforts we would not have the caliber of dogs we have today.
Doc Walker owned a hunting preserve between Wears Valley and Walland called Hunter's Haven where he bear and hog hunted. He went through a lot of hounds to get longer sticking and harder fighting dogs. His hounds were white with either black or brindle trim and specks. His dogs had a high mortality rate because of their grit.
A bear hunter named Bud Wolfe from Boyds Creek got some pups from Doc that were from a brother/sister cross. He kept a female out of that litter named Betty that he bred to Leonard Parton's stud dog Jug Head. Leonard lived near the Greenbriar section of the national park. He had a reputation of raising, training, and selling some of the finest bear dogs in East Tennessee. Leonard's hounds were of Plott and Red Bone descent - medium build, cat footed, dark colored, fast and aggressive dogs.
Bud Wolfe also, later on, bred Betty to a Cascade Plott. Two gentlemen from Knoxville, Oliver Smith and Gene White, brought the Cascade Plotts into East Tennessee by purchasing two dogs named Timber and Demon from Dee Moss of Washington State. They had a reputation of being some of the best bear dogs on the west coast and were medium size, swift footed and gritty dogs.
There was a rooster fighter named Bob Ogle from John's Branch that had a black and tan colored Feist Hound cross Squirrel Dog named Sally that he kept to keep the varmints ran out of his chickens. His neighbor had a dog named Crip out of the Jug Head and Betty cross. Crip had performed better than his litter mates until he broke a front leg. Sally accidentally got bred to Crip and Rocky Kear, a coon hunter from Cartertown, ended up with these 1/4 feist pups. They started young and were very tree minded.
From this cross Rocky's brother Kenny took a Gyp named Jet and bred her to the Cascade Plott and Betty cross dog Bud Wolfe had kept. Rocky and Kenny kept three female pups out of this litter (Cindy, Brownie, and Scrangy). Cindy was a big game dog, Brownie a number one Coon Dog and Scrangy won the Tennessee State Championship Squirrel Hunt.
For most of his life, before his eyesight got bad, Gasdon Dockery from Richardson's Cove raised, trained, and sold more Mountain Feist Squirrel Dogs than anyone around. His neighbor had a small Brindle Cur that came from Cherokee, North Carolina and this dog stayed treed all the time. Gasdon bred his Brindle Feist Gyp to him.
I ended up with two males from that cross, Reagan's Rango and Reagan's Rowdy. I also got another male feist from Gasdon named Nub that was out of my Rango dog. All three were Mountain Feist type squirrel dogs. They were straight legged, hard treeing, gray faced brindle fesits. They hunted close, timbered,retrieved, and had exceptional noses.
Rocky Kear's Coon dogs Jet and Brownie had proven the advantages of having feist blood in your hound. Kenny Kear bred his Bear dog Cindy to my Nub dog and later on to my Rowdy dog. The ones we kept and trained made exceptional tree dogs and excelled on whatever they were trained on being it squirrel, coon or bear. We were amazed at the amount of game these dogs could tree in a relatively short period of time. The Kear family also experimented crossing to other Feists around our region but the results were not as good as the Gasdon Dockery cross.
I wanted to get some pups out of my coon dog Koko, she was out of the Cindy and Nub cross. I had seen a small Brindle Cur dog named Cane Creek Turn owned by Clay Faluts of North Carolina at the first ever World Squirrel Hunt in Ethal, Miississippi, that's what I wanted to breed to but he died. I started traveling and going to hunts. I talked to Kenneth Beaty of Crossville Tennessee about the Bounce dog that started the Mullins breed and Jerry Arrington from Castalian Springs about J.D. that started the River Run breed. I visited with Don Price of Alabama and Gerald Johnson of Arkansas about their ATFA Squirrel Champs - Black Jack and Spike. I also traveled to Ohio to talk to Bill Coon about his MTFO World Champion. Not taking anything away from them, they were all fine dogs they just didn't suit me.
Bow Thomas of Maryville, Tennessee had a dog named Boomer out of our stock that he mostly hog hunted. I decided to line breed to him. The Kear family also bred a dog named Cricket out of the Rowdy and Cindy cross to him. Both litters yielded great results.
Danny Owens from Bird's Creek had a gyp named Pearl out of the Koko and Boomer cross. Jack White from Pamplico, South Carolina had a gyp out of the Cricket and Boomer cross. Bruce Gamble of Dothan, Alabama had a bitch named Julie from our stock. All three of these men line bred back to our stud dogs. The litters they raised have added a great deal to our breeding program.
Smoky MNT. Feist's are a little larger that most Feists weighing around 30 pounds and standing about 20" tall. They resemble a small hound. Their color is either Brindle with a black saddle back or hi tan, their muzzles usually get grey or frosty when they get older. They have short ears set high on their heads that rise slightly when they are excited. They are muscular, lean, and athletic looking with high hip bones.
From what I have read and been told, they have some of the same characteristics as the old timey Plott Curs had before Hound was put in them in the early 1900's. When compared to a Hound they are smaller, closer range, hotter nosed, semi-silent with a chop mouth on trail and tree. They run to catch and would rather tree than trail, therefore they usually tree quickly.
Because of the Feist blood in them, the one's we bear hunt normally prefer a hot track, they can trail fast and usually don't open until they are close to jumping. They do this in order to not let the bear get a head start, their biggest asset is their speed. Because of their size, build and desire their closing speed is unrivaled in the rugged terrain of East TN. They are extremely aggressive, close fighting agile dogs. If they are not treed or bayed within two hours they are back where you turned them loose. You are normally outside your designated hunting area by then and your kill rate drops dramatically, this also keeps you from going back the next day looking for your dogs.
The one's we have trained to coon hunt will open enough on track to tell you a story. They will put their noses on the ground , but they won't straddle a track. They normally run with their heads up winding and drifting. They locate good and lock down. They make good combination dogs on both coon and squirrel. However, because of their short legs they are not down south swamp dogs.
Our squirrel dogs hunt hard and fast. They tend to use their noses more and cover more ground than most Feist because of the hound blood in them. They hunt a pattern and check in good. They will road, walk and some even rig hunt. They can locate squirrels under severe weather conditions if need be. The only time they open on the ground is on a cold squirrel and that is just a few times right before they tree. Because of their range they are well suited for rolling hills and flat land that you find in W.M.A.'s across the south.
This breed or cross of dogs have only been raised by a few families on the TN side of the Smoky MNT.s. Through their insight, these dogs have been bred out to adapt and excel specifically for their area's current hunting environment. Isn't it interesting that these dogs have reverted back to a lot of the same traits that the Plott Mountain Curs had that were hunted in the Smokies in the early 1900's.
It takes most of a lifetime to establish a line of dogs. Very few people can honestly say they have their own line. We feel very fortunate to have one and extra lucky that we hit on the right combination. Hunting is our heritage here in the Smoky Mountains and we are grateful we are still granted that privilege.

At Penn Medicine, patients with liver cancer, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), receive their care from a multidisciplinary team of nationally recognized experts in the diagnosis, treatment and research of gastrointestinal cancer.
The Abramson Cancer Center's interdisciplinary gastrointestinal cancer program was the first of its kind. Its close collaboration with Penn Medicine's transplant program provides access to comprehensive medical and surgical care for patients who require a liver transplant. Penn Transplant Institute has performed more than 1,500 liver transplants.
The liver is the largest solid organ in the body and is located on the right side of the abdomen. The liver is responsible for such functions as filtering the blood for excess toxins, helping regulate blood sugar, creating bile for digestion, and creating enzymes responsible for blood clotting.
There are two main types of liver cancer.
Penn Medicine's multidisciplinary approach to cancer diagnosis and treatment provides better outcomes and gives patients access to the most advanced treatment, surgical techniques and clinical trials.
Because navigating a cancer diagnosis and treatment options can be difficult, patients who wish to connect with a cancer specialist at Penn Medicine can speak with a cancer nurse, who can help them make an appointment with the right physician.
To connect with a cancer nurse at Penn Medicine, patients should call 800-789-PENN (7366).
An accurate cancer diagnosis from trusted cancer specialists is the first step in getting personalized treatment options to treat liver cancer.
Patients who choose Penn's Abramson Cancer Center, benefit from a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists including gastroenterologists, radiologists, pathologists and surgeons who work together to provide a diagnosis and treatment plan designed specifically for each patient with liver cancer.

There are more than 12 million cancer survivors living and thriving today as a result of advances in cancer treatment. However, cancer treatments can result in physical, emotional and financial complications long after the therapy is complete. Survivorship programs at Penn Medicine are a distinct phase of liver cancer care and are designed to help patients transition from their cancer treatment routine to a post-cancer care lifestyle.
Close follow-up care for liver cancer patients is crucial because there is a high rate of recurrence. Routine follow-up care should be performed for several years following treatment.
At the end of treatment, liver cancer patients should schedule a survivorship visit with their oncologist and nurse practitioner. At this time, patients are provided with a summary of the treatment received as well as a plan for follow-up care.
Long-term liver cancer survivors should speak to their oncologist and nurse practitioner about scheduling a one-time survivorship-focused consultation with a nurse practitioner or physician. Annual or more frequent follow-up appointments are also available.
Penn cancer providers work one-on-one with patients to develop survivorship care plans. Since every cancer is unique, the plans are tailored to the patients.
The survivorship care plan includes information on:
A survivorship care plan encourages patients to review the information with their healthcare team and become active participants in their follow-up care.
Every step of cancer treatment – from cancer diagnosis, to surgery and treatment to forming a survivorship plan – comes with different needs and issues that should be addressed.
Oncology Navigation Specialists at the Abramson Cancer Center are available to make a patient's experience as seamless as possible. As experts in navigating complex health care situations, Oncology Navigation Specialists serve as a consistent point of contact and a reliable source for advice, support and direction for patients and families. They can help in a variety of ways including; provide emotional support, identify resources, and ensure access to information, support services, educational programs and community resources.
