Wilson Scores 20 Points as Bearcats Defeat Wildcats, 58-49
Willamette Earns First Win of the Season
SALEM, ORE. -- Senior guard Sophie Wilson (Port Townsend, WA/Port Townsend HS) scored a career-high 20 points on 7 of 12 shooting, including 6 of 9 on 3-pointers, to lead Willamette University to a 58-49 win over Linfield College on Tuesday, Jan. 22 for the Bearcats' first victory of the season.
Willamette moved to 1-16 overall, 1-7 in the Northwest Conference. Linfield dropped to 1-13 on the season and remained winless in the NWC at 0-8.
It was Willamette's first win since Dec. 8, 2011 in a 78-59 victory over William Jessup University (Calif.). It was also the Bearcats' first victory over a Northwest Conference opponent since Feb. 5, 2011, when WU downed Pacific University, 58-57, on a 3-pointer by Wilson at the buzzer.
And it was the first win for Willamette Head Coach Peg Swadener, in her first season with the Bearcats. Swadener previously was the associate head women's basketball coach at Portland State University.
On Tuesday against Linfield, the Bearcats were 9 of 20 (45.0%) from 3-point range. In addition to Wilson's big night, the Bearcats received one 3-pointer each from Jojo DeLong (So., G, Santa Clarita, CA/Canyon HS), Mackenzie Lamson (Jr., F, Portland, OR/Lincoln HS) and Daena Mau (So., G, Aiea, HI/Punahou School).
Wilson's six 3-pointers during the game placed her just one trifecta short of the school record of seven, set on three occasions.
Julia Brand (So., F, Kaneohe, HI/Punahou School) added 12 points for the Bearcats on Tuesday, as he hit 5 of 9 field goals and went 2 for 3 at the free throw line. DeLong finished with a team-high six assists and registered four steals.
Lamson and Jo Johnston (Fr., C, Missoula, MT/Florence-Carlton HS) each grabbed six rebounds for Willamette, with Lamson also earning four assists.
Linfield's top scorer was Kaely Maltman with 22 points on 9 of 14 field goals. She was the only Wildcat in double figures. Catie Mets tacked on nine points. Katelyn Henson of Linfield led all players with nine rebounds and also provided the Wildcats with three assists and two steals.
The first half included two ties and seven lead changes. Linfield took an 8-4 lead 4:36 into the game. Willamette scored 10 of the next 12 points, including a 3-pointer by Lamson and a 3-pointer by Wilson, to achieve a 14-10 advantage with 14:24 remaining in the half.
Linfield countered with an 8-0 run to move back in front 18-14 at the 7:55 mark. Lamson scored on a jumper for WU 17 seconds later, and the Bearcats tied the score when Rebecca Josephson (Jr., G, Fair Oaks, CA/Del Campo HS) put in the next basket with 5:26 left in the period.
Neither team led by more than two points over the rest of the half until Josephson made a jump shot for Willamette with 1:16 on the clock for a 26-22 lead. Mets sank two free throws for Linfield with 53 seconds to go, before Wilson connected on her third 3-pointer of the half with 11 seconds left.
Willamette extended its 29-24 halftime margin on a 3-pointer by DeLong in the first minute of the second half. Linfield answered with a 12-0 run for a 36-32 lead. The run by the Wildcats included six points by Maltman, four points by Henson and a basket from Alex Christensen.
The Bearcats tied the score at 36-36 with 11:39 left, but Linfield moved ahead by two points on a jumper by Maltman.
Willamette responded with a 16-0 run to take control of the game. The Bearcats edge in front a 39-38 with 9:30 remaining when Brand sank two free throws. The lead reached 44-38 at the 8:02 mark on a 3-pointer by Wilson. DeLong tacked on a layup before Wilson completed the run with two more 3-point shots. WU led 52-38 with 5:39 to go.
Up next for the Bearcats is a home game against NWC rival Pacific University on Friday, Jan. 25. Tipoff at Cone Field House is set for 6 p.m. (PST).

Letter: Good healthcare program needed now
This year I had total knee replacement at an East Tennessee hospital. Before I even went in I tried to get some kind of help for the bill that Medicare wouldn't pay, such as co-pays.
I was told to call this person and that person. But nothing. Well, I was in the hospital for 2 1/2 days. I had to have my wife to bring me some real food. But after going to several people to get help on my co-pays it never happened. I have gotten bills from people I never met. And they're in a collection agency.
And of course it's always the patient's fault. Professional people set up the rules and the poor and low income people have to be good little boys and girls and keep our mouths shut.
What these professionals need to do is get on the same page with their patients and quit putting the blame on them. And by the way, the bill they gave Medicare was $47,000 for my wonderful stay.
We need a health insurance program now, not when it's good for professionals.

"Great looking card, the designer helped me get the back of the card to look exactly as I wanted. The pearl finish stands out against my competitors cards. Delivery was very quick! Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"I am so happy with the way my cards turned out. I did not want to put a logo or photo on the back of the card so Customer Service walked me thru the process to request additional text on the back side of the card. Arrived very quickly. Thanks so much!"
"I used a photo I had taken and lightened for the backdrop - it's beautiful! I've tried doing this card on other sites, but either the photo quality was sub-par or I couldn't manipulate it the way I wanted. This goes all the way to the edge of the paper, which is what I wanted. I also love being able to do a little something in the back of the card. One wish: I'd like to be able to justify the writing to the bottom of the print space. I figured it out myself but for everyone who's super persnickety about spacing, it would be nice to have a way to do it automatically. Overall: I love these cards. Beautiful quality. Totally getting them from here again."
"I love this company. They always have fantastic designs and when I hand out business cards, people are always impressed. I'm a devoted customer."
"Loved this design, so made it mine by the easy personalization process. I received so many compliments passing these out at a recent conference."

Forecast of Rising Oil Demand Challenges Tired Saudi Fields
By JEFF GERTH
Published: February 24, 2004
When visitors tour the headquarters of Saudi Arabia's oil empire — a sleek glass building rising from the desert in Dhahran near the Persian Gulf — they are reminded of its mission in a film projected on a giant screen. "We supply what the world demands every day," it declares.
For decades, that has largely been true. Ever since its rich reserves were discovered more than a half-century ago, Saudi Arabia has pumped the oil needed to keep pace with rising needs, becoming the mainstay of the global energy markets.
But the country's oil fields now are in decline, prompting industry and government officials to raise serious questions about whether the kingdom will be able to satisfy the world's thirst for oil in coming years.
Energy forecasts call for Saudi Arabia to almost double its output in the next decade and after. Oil executives and government officials in the United States and Saudi Arabia, however, say capacity will probably stall near current levels, potentially creating a significant gap in the global energy supply.
Outsiders have not had access to detailed production data from Saudi Aramco, the state-owned oil company, for more than 20 years. But interviews in recent months with experts on Saudi oil fields provided a rare look inside the business and suggested looming problems.
An internal Saudi Aramco plan, the experts said, estimates total production capacity in 2011 at 10.15 million barrels a day, about the current capacity. But to meet expected world demand, the United States Department of Energy's research arm says Saudi Arabia will need to produce 13.6 million barrels a day by 2010 and 19.5 million barrels a day by 2020.
"In the past, the world has counted on Saudi Arabia," one senior Saudi oil executive said. "Now I don't see how long it can be maintained."
Saudi Arabia, the leading exporter for three decades, is not running out of oil. Industry officials are finding, however, that it is becoming more difficult or expensive to extract it. Today, the country produces about eight million barrels a day, roughly one-tenth of the world's needs. It is the top foreign supplier to the United States, the world's leading energy consumer.
Fears of a future energy gap could, of course, turn out to be unfounded. Predictions of oil market behavior have often proved wrong.
But if Saudi production falls short, industry experts say the consequences could be significant. Other large producers, like Russia and Iraq, do not have Saudi Aramco's huge reserves or excess oil capacity to export, and promising new fields elsewhere are not expected to deliver enough oil to make up the difference.
As a result, supplies could tighten and oil prices could increase. The global economy could feel the ripples; previous spikes in oil prices have helped cause recessions, though high oil prices in the last year or so have not slowed strong growth.
Saudi Aramco says its dominance in world oil markets will grow because, "if required," it can expand its capacity to 12 million barrels a day or more by "making necessary investments," according to written responses to questions submitted by The New York Times .
But some experts are skeptical. Edward O. Price Jr., a former top Saudi Aramco and Chevron executive and a leading United States government adviser, says he believes that Saudi Arabia can pump up to 12 million barrels a day "for a few years." But "the world should not expect more from the Saudis," he said. He expects global oil markets to be in short supply by 2015.
Fatih Birol, the chief economist for the International Energy Agency, said the Saudis would not be able to increase production enough for future needs without large-scale foreign investment.
The I.E.A., an independent agency founded by energy-consuming nations, and Washington see investment in energy exploration and field maintenance as vital, but such proposals face strong opposition inside Saudi Arabia. Tensions with the West, particularly the United States, make such investment politically difficult for Saudi society. For example, an effort by Crown Prince Abdullah, the kingdom's de facto ruler, to encourage Western companies to invest $25 billion in his country's natural gas industry essentially collapsed last year.
"Access to Persian Gulf oil reserves, especially Saudi Arabia's, is the key question for the whole world," Dr. Birol said.
President Bush has said he wants to make the United States less reliant on oil-producing countries that "don't like America" by diversifying suppliers and financing research into hydrogen fuel cells, but achieving that remains far off.
His administration backs foreign investment initiatives in the gulf region, including Saudi Arabia, and his energy policies rely on Energy Department projections showing the world even more dependent on Arabian oil in 20 years. That may be enough time for governments to find alternatives, but oil field development requires years of planning and work.
Publicly, Saudi oil executives express optimism about the future of their industry. Some economists are equally optimistic that if oil prices rise high enough, advanced recovery techniques will be applied, averting supply problems.
But privately, some Saudi oil officials are less sanguine.

Boeing has completed the power-on milestone for the 747-8 International, another step in the final assembly process for the passenger aircraft.
Powering-on the 747-8I's 105kVa-rated electrical system allows testing to begin on the flight deck and maintenance systems onboard the aircraft.
Non-electrical power systems are also activated by the power-on sequence, including the 3,000psi hydraulics that moved the 747-8I's control surfaces, landing gear and brakes.
Despite a recent delay for the 747-8 Freighter, Boeing confirms the -8I variant is on track to complete final assembly in the first quarter 2011 and be delivered late next year to an unidentified, VIP customer.
The first 747-8I entered final body join, the last major structural step of the final assembly process, in mid-October.
Both 747-8 variants have accumulated 109 orders, with 33 sales of the passenger variant and 76 sales of the freighter variant.

AUSTIN, Texas - Prison officials in Texas are warning that a 10 percent budget cut recommended by state leaders will cost thousands of jobs in the nation's largest prison system and have an impact on public safety.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice officials said at a prison board meeting Thursday that they planned to pursue a full proposal of more than $6 billion for the two-year budget cycle in 2014-15.
Gov. Rick Perry and others have asked state agencies to offer contingency plans with 10 percent cuts. Corrections agency Executive Director Brad Livingston says he's optimistic he can make a case for a full budget request when Texas lawmakers convene in January.
Corrections officials say a 10 percent cut would eliminate 4,800 jobs, the majority of them corrections officers.

HOUSTON - A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper was hospitalized after being struck by a sport utility vehicle while on the site of an earlier wreck in Colorado County, west of Houston.
Officials say Trooper Troy Clark was injured Monday afternoon when the driver of an SUV apparently lost control on a rain-soaked road and struck the rear of Clark's patrol car.
The Houston Chronicle (http://bit.ly/ZSp9iZ ) reports that Clark was standing on the road but leaning inside the car at the time.
The driver of the SUV was taken to an area hospital with minor injuries. Clark was taken to a local hospital before being transferred to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. He is expected to recover.
Officials say Clark has been with the Department of Public Safety since 2003.

After beating the Yankees to avoid being swept, the Rays bats continued to give their opposition fits, only this time it was the Miami Marlins who were on the receiving end.
BJ Upton started off the scoring in the third inning when he singled home Matt Joyce. Will Rhymes singled home a run in the fourth to give the Rays the lead (again) after Greg Dobbs hit a sac fly to tie the game up in the third.
Dobbs would be responsible for the only run the Marlins managed to score.
Matt Joyce hit a solo shot off Ricky Nolasco in the fifth, Ben Zobrist singled home a run, while Matt Joyce advanced to third due to an errant throw by slugging right-fielder Giancarlo Stanton. Carlos Pena would capitalize on Stanton's error, singling home Joyce.
It was a rough night for Nolasco and the Marlins' bullpen as well, but Jeremy Hellickson had one of the shakiest outings of his career, walking seven batters and only lasting 4.1 innings. This is exceptionally odd because Hellickson really prides himself on having command of his pitches and knowing the strike zone; tonight's seven walks are the most he's given up in his career thus far.
Surprisingly though, the Marlins only scored one run off of all those "free passes" issued by Hellickson, but Hellickson did not get the win. Burke Badenhop, one of many Rays middle relievers used Friday night, pitched 1.2 scoreless innings to nab his first win of the season.
Matt Joyce, Ben Zobrist, and Jose Lobaton all had themselves a pretty nice night, getting two hits apiece to at least allow themselves to tack on some more runs.
Notables from tonight's game:
M. Joyce(TAM): 2-3, 3 R, RBI, 2B, HR, 2 BB
B. Badenhop(TAM): (W) 1.2 IP, H, K,
B. Zobrist(TAM): 2-4, RBI, BB
J. Lobaton(TAM): 2-4, RBI, 2B
Rays news and notes:
- The Rays continue their interleague series with the Marlins tomorrow night, with Matt Moore (2-5, 4.45 ERA) taking on the hotheaded veteran Carlos Zambrano (4-3, 2.81 ERA). First pitch is at 7:15 PM.
- Brandon Allen has been cleared off waivers and sent to AAA Durham for his minor league assignment.
- Kyle Farnsworth (elbow strain) will start his minor league rehab assignment Monday with Class A+ Port Charlotte.

The Red Sox lost again last night and slipped a little deeper into the AL East basement. It was their 68th loss of the season — three more than they had all of last season — and with 38 games left on the year, well, there are 38 games left on the year. There's not much else to do but hope that no one gets hurt, a few of the kids build some confidence and, I don't know, maybe David Ortiz makes a run at 40 homers? Meanwhile, with the Sox short on excitement, it will be about three weeks until the Patriots play a meaningful game, more than a month before the Bruins even start the preseason and more than two months until the Celtics home opener.
Hello, dog days!
But this summer's slow season feels especially slow, doesn't it? And it's not so much because nothing is going on right now, but more that nothing has happened yet. All summer. The Sox stunk since Opening Day. The Pats made all their noise in the winter. The Celtics rumbled this offseason but never broke through (and no, I'm not counting Evan Turner). The Bruins bowed out in the second round and haven't been heard from since. Just in general, the summer of 2014 has been as explosive as a soggy bag of Pop Pops. What about Jon Lester? OK, that's one pop. But not so much once he re-signs with the Sox this winter. So . . .
You know, one thing that might alter our perception of this summer is that last summer was so insane. Remember all that? If 2014 is a soggy bag of Pop Pops, 2013 was a turbo charged jet with Alfredo Aceves and Brandon Spikes manning the cockpit. It was terrifying and relentless. Very likely the craziest sports summer that Boston has ever known.
Sitting here today, it feels like years ago but honestly, it was just last year. And if you need a little refresher, here's a quick timeline of events:
June 11: The Patriots sign Tim Tebow, local sports talk radio turns into a giant pile of audible cow poop and the Krafts bath in the profits.
June 25: Doc Rivers officially signs a three-year contract with the Los Angeles Clippers after weeks of nonstop speculation and rumors.
June 26: The Bruins lose the Stanley Cup in crushing fashion — allowing two goals in the final 76 seconds of Game 6.
June 27: The Celtics agree to trade Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Nets, thus ending the third longest (Pierce) and one of the most significant (Garnett) careers in franchise history.
June 28: Ho hum. Aaron Hernandez is charged with murder
July 3: The Celtics hire Brad Stevens out of nowhere.
July 4: The Bruins trade Tyler Seguin to Dallas.
July 6: The Bruins sign Jarome Iginla.
July 12: OUR PETS HEADS START FALLING OFF.
And all the while, from the beginning of June straight into September, the Red Sox were never more than a half-game out of first place or less than 10 games over .500.
And, oh right, this was all in the aftermath and lingering shadow of one of the most tragic events in this city's history.
It was chaos. So much so that it was hard to even appreciate what the Red Sox were doing. At that point, sports weren't even about sports. It was about murder, morality, ethics and religion. It got real. And that's not a great look for sports media. It's never all that productive or positive. It's good for business, but not for anyone else.
By this time last year, most of the loudest noise (aside from Tebow) started to die down. It was the Dogs Days and the Red Sox were all that was left and Boston fell face first into one of the most memorable and uplifting championship runs we've ever seen. And it was beautiful. A much needed respite after months of non-stop nonsense.
This time THIS year, there's no respite. No dog day savior. Just a last place baseball team and three weeks until Week 1 — a timid end to slow summer.
But after all that happened last year, maybe one slow summer isn't all that bad.

1. Derek Thompson really is an admirable writer and researcher. He makes evidence-based arguments that are consistently sober and appropriately limited. In a sea of young journalists who are trying to make a name for themselves, he's avoided the temptation to make a name for himself with overreach and bombast. Instead, he's done so with empirical rigor, with restraint, and with what might be the most important trait for an opinion writer, a sympathetic intelligence.
2. This piece by Andrew Cohen is really remarkable. Obviously, much of the credit belongs to the team at The Columbia Human Rights Review for their extraordinary efforts. But I think Cohen shows how an informed commentator can write effectively about other people's work, develop and extend it, and shed new light on key facets. For an issue this close to my heart, that's a real blessing. The Atlantic has quite a stable of informed writers.
3. I have some misgivings about Ta-Nehisi Coates's blog as a phenomenon-- I think some of his readers come to it looking for some kind of absolution, which is quite troubling-- but you have to give it up. He's got one of the best prose styles out there, and he enhances that strength by restricting himself to a certain range of topics which best fit that style. That might sound like a backhanded compliment, but it isn't, at all; in fact I wish most bloggers had a better sense of where their relative strengths lie and were less likely to weigh in on whatever pops into their head. (I include myself in that criticism.) But even beyond sticking to a particular range of topics (which many bloggers do), I think Coates has shown a new evolution of blogging, which is to look at the blog truly as a unified project beyond the sum of individual posts.
4. Conor Friedersdorf's posts on foreign policy and domestic surveillance are crucial, to my mind. He's got a certain credibility on those issues that is not easy to forge, given how bipartisan support for endless war and surveillance has become. Most criticisms of Obama on foreign policy that come from conservative sources simply are not credible, considering that they are just part of a universally-negative litany. Friedersdorf, though, isn't unwilling to praise Obama, and more importantly, he doesn't pretend that Republican bellicosity is matched by that of the Democrats. Of course, for his troubles, he is reviled by most mainstream conservative bloggers, but then they are wretches so what do you expect.
5. Alexis Madrigal's hair is a delight.

I've created this iOS style notifier…
but would welcome any suggestions to allow it to accomodate numbers with more digits, either by making the text size smaller, or (perhaps easier) proportionally resizing the circle to fit?
So what should it do when there's a huge number in it, like 5 digits? Should it still be a large circle, or should it be an ellipse?
A larger circle I think (or smaller text). TBH, though, I'm expecting a reasonable maximum of 999 for this particular project.
Personally, I would choose this option: http://jsfiddle.net/jwtcS/10/
Indeed it would be a bit tricky to have the height of the circle/bubble be the same as the width; I think the problem would be to detect the actual width of the bubble, being a pseudo/sub element and all.
Yes. Thanks very much. That looks to be a 'visually tidy' solution. :D
Ah perfect, that's just the way iOS handles it too :D

text: Tweet photo by ~FreeBirD®~ (source: Flickr Creative Commons) An 83-year old Indian man named Prahlad Jani claims to have not eaten or drunk anything in 70 years. Not bloody likely, I hear you say, but what if it's true? Not eating or drinking could be a great solution to pesky human disasters like food and water shortages: Starving? Dying of thirst? Just don't do it! Climate change, climate schmange – if this old guy can manage it, anyone can. The Indian government is curious enough to test Jani's claims and have locked him in a private hospital under constant surveillance by a team of military doctors who are prodding and poking him with all medical science has to offer. 108 hours in and he seems healthy, but a few days are nothing for a 70-year veteran of food and water-free living. From an AFP report: The tests on Jani include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, measuring brain and heart activity with electrodes and other neuro-physiological studies, in addition to blood tests. The experiment started on April 22 and will take 15-20 days. Since the beginning, Jani has neither eaten nor drunk and has not been to the toilet, Ilavazahagan said.

8 small things you can do to help stop climate change!
Traduction à suivre
5 Juin 2014
Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay, where we take a look at the impact man made climate change has on the environment, and raise awareness on how we can help to change the devastating effects.
Climate change facts:
- Climate change is a major challenge of our time: temperatures are growing, sea levels are rising, the Arctic is warming, methane is on the increase. GHG emissions have increased by 70 per cent between 1970 and 2004.
- Girls and women will be most affected by climate change. It will increase poverty and hunger. Already, 1 billion people do not have enough to eat. Hunger and malnutrition cause immeasurable suffering to millions of families and result in poor health, lost learning potential, lost productivity and income. Food is so important for life and health that governments around the world have recognized that people have a right to food.
On this day we would like everyone in our Movement to try some of these simple steps that could help our environment and better our world!
1. Save energy! Do you watch a lot of TV, or do you use your computer? Try and do this less! Not only will it save energy, but you will have time to do a lot more things outside, or with your friends and family.
2. Cut down on carbon emissions! Why not cycle or walk to where you need to go? Just make sure there is a safe path, and that weather permits. If not, you can also carpool or take public transport.
3. Measure your carbon footprint, and make plans to try and reduce it! You can measure your carbon footprint here http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ via the World Widlife Foundation.
4. Don't waste food! Create a compost in your backyard for all of your scraps, and use the compost to feed your garden.
5. Create campaigns in your community! Start a campaign to have safe biking lanes, or make sure there are recycling regulations.
6. Save hot water and energy! Showers take up a lot less water and energy than baths, so try and shower when you need to get clean.
7. Take part in a planting project!
8. Remind others to save energy! Create 'Switch me off!' reminder cards and place on lamps, lightswitches, and other devices to remind others to switch them off when they are not using them.
Do you have any more ideas? Tweet @wagggs_world your ideas and we will share them, or place them in the comments below.
All activities come from the Food Security and Climate Change Badge activity book, which can be seen here. You can purchase the badges from the WAGGGS Shop.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Alstott sold his waterfront St. Petersburg home for $1.9 million this week, his real estate agent confirmed.
Alstott purchased the 6,100-square-foot, five-bedroom, 4½-bath home in Yacht Club Estates for $775,000 in 1999, according to the Pinellas County Property Appraiser's website.
The home, at 7800 Ninth Ave. S., is off Treasure Island Causeway and features 143 feet of waterfront on the Intracoastal Waterway with a deepwater dock and two boat lifts.
The home has a hand-painted rendition of Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam," a multilevel waterfront office with a private balcony, a game room and bar.
Alstott also owns two waterfront lots next to the home that were not part of the sale.
Alstott, now the head football coach at Northside Christian High School in St. Petersburg, will continue to live in the area at a home he has owned for a while, said real estate agent Tammy Campbell Plummer of Caldwell Banker.
Alstott was a six-time Pro Bowl selection in 12 years with the Bucs, when the running back known to fans as the "A-Train," accumulating 5,088 rushing yards, the second-most in franchise history. His 71 total touchdowns and 58 rushing TDs are team records.
Since his retirement after the 2007 season, Alstott has remained active in the Tampa Bay community through the Mike Alstott Family Foundation and other charitable and business ventures.

Test ID: 61219
MAML2 (11q21), Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma (MEC)
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Supporting a diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland neoplasm, representing over 30% of all malignant salivary gland tumors. The diagnosis of MEC can be quite challenging due to the degree of histologic overlap with other glandular, clear cell, or oncocytic salivary gland tumors. MAML2 fusions are detectable in 80% to 85% of MEC, but not in morphologic mimics such as oncocytic cystadenoma, Warthin tumor, oncocytoma, oncocytic carcinoma, acinic cell carcinoma, and metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-9% rearranged cells
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive test is consistent with a diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC). A negative test does not rule out the diagnosis of MEC. Carcinomas such as salivary duct carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, acinic cell carcinoma, and Warthin tumor are negative for the MAML2 rearrangements.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Reliable results are dependent on adequate specimen collection and processing. This test has been validated on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue; other types of fixatives are discouraged. Improper treatment of tissues, such as decalcification, may cause FISH failure.
Clinical diagnosis and/or therapy should not be based solely on this assay. The results should be considered in conjunction with clinical information and/or additional diagnostic tests.
Supportive Data
A blinded investigation was performed on 28 MEC and 51 control tissues. All samples were identified and diagnosed by a soft tissue pathology expert. Two technologists scored 100 cells each. The MAML2 locus was found to be rearranged in 26 of 28 MEC cases (93%) and 0 of 51 control cases.

Quickie review: Bloody Sunday
Reviewer: Craig Phillips
Rating (out of 5): ***½
With his shattering, if occasionally hard to watch, United 93 now out on DVD, I highly recommend paying a visit to Paul Greengrass' earlier, brilliant Bloody Sunday. The film's a knockout, so charged is the atmosphere it recreates - the fateful day in 1972 in Northern Ireland when a civil rights protest turned deadly, capturing the chaos and frenzy of street anarchy better than just about any film since Battle of Algiers. Sunday was criticized by some in Britain for having a "pro-Ireland" bias, but this is cin�ma v�rit� - gripping, even shocking stuff. Don't miss it.

Tuition increases are slated for the next academic year across nearly all of West Virginia's colleges and universities.
That's true in the state's four-year colleges -- where the Higher Education Policy Commission approved tuition increases of more than 5 percent at five schools late last month -- as well as at community and technical colleges.
The state Legislative Oversight Committee on Education Accountability got the rundown on those increases at a Monday meeting during the Legislature's interim session this week.
State colleges and universities are coping with a nearly 9 percent cut in funding from the state for the next fiscal year; funding for community and technical colleges has been reduced by 7.5 percent.

NARS Stylo Eyeliner (Blue Bayou, Nuits Blanches) Review, Photos, Swatches
Long-wearing Liner: NARS Eyeliner Stylo in Bayou Blue and Nuits Blances
NARS Eyeliner Stylo ($27.00 for 0.02 oz.) was recently released just in time for the fall/holiday seasons as a brand new product by NARS. It is touted to be a long-wearing, quick-drying liquid liner delivered via a felt-tip applicator. With the felt-tip applicator, you are supposed to be able to get precise lines–thin or thick–with "maximum control." The Eyeliner Stylo is available in three shades: Blue Bayou (blue), Nuits Blanches (black), and Nabucco (brown).
I test drove two: Blue Bayou, which is not quite an electric blue, but much brighter and deeper than a sky blue–but there's no teal or green in it for me; and Nuits Blanches, which is a very deep dark black. Oddly enough, I've found a lot of black felt-tip liners do show up a bit brown when swatched on the skin, but on the eyes, looks black as it's supposed to; this also happened here (for reference). I wonder if, perhaps, it's how close/magnified the photo is vs. viewing it in person at a real-life size. Anyway, just something worth noting.
The formula is definitely long-wearing and it dries quickly but not too quickly, so you do have some time to work. The formula itself is fairly water-resistant as well; I'm not sure I'd say entirely waterproof, but it doesn't budge or smudge or flake throughout the day and takes a bit of elbow grease to remove. To be honest, one of my biggest frustrations with this product had to do with Blue Bayou staining my eyelid for three days. I don't love products that stain overall, because I do find it annoying the next day, but having this slightly faded, residual blue liner on the outer edges of my eyes for three days was ridiculous. I know in the past, readers have recommended Make Up For Ever's makeup remover for staining products, but between my cleansers, olive oil, and Lancome's Bi-Facil, the staining wasn't budging. I found the black didn't stain nearly as much and seemed to fade away by the next day.
I will say that this the felt-tip applicator is very long and skinny, and those with smaller eyes may find this a little unwieldy. On my eyes, I felt like I had enough control to create thin, precise lines. I did find creating thicker lines to create a little more skill, just because the applicator is quite thin and more suited towards thin lines rather than thicker lines. I think with enough practice you'd find that you could get thin or thick lines without much fuss or frustration, though! The applicator distributes a good amount of product without it being too much or too little–there's no drag nor is there excess that you have to worry about.
Bottom Line: I like and would recommend Nuit Blanches, because it works and functions quite well. I do take an issue with something that stains so intensely as Blue Bayou did, which makes me hesitant to recommend it. I didn't take any points off for staining, but it's something I think is worth noting as a potential problem for some (as it is for me). I used Blue Bayou last week in a look, which you can view here, to see how it looks in action.

Learning how to use Adobe Photoshop efficiently and effectively is the best way to get the most out of your pixels and create stunning imagery. Master the fundamentals of this program with Julieanne Kost, and discover how to achieve the results you want with Photoshop and its companion programs, Bridge and Camera Raw. This comprehensive course covers nondestructive editing techniques using layers, masking, adjustment layers, blend modes, and Smart Objects. Find out how to perform common editing tasks, including lens correction, cropping and straightening, color and tonal adjustments, noise reduction, shadow and highlight detail recovery, sharpening, and retouching. Julieanne also shows how to achieve more creative effects with filters, layer effects, illustrative type, and the Photomerge command for creating panoramas and composites.
Sometimes it's just not possible to photograph the scene at the angle that you want, or sometimes you might just be off by a little bit when you take the photo and you want to correct the perspective. In order to fix this, we can use the Manual tab in the Lens Correction panel. So let's select all three of these images here. I'll just hold down the Command key or the Control key on Windows to select them all, and then I'll click on the Open in Camera Raw icon. You can see that because I had three images selected, thumbnails for those images appear over here on the left. I want to go ahead and select all of my images to start with, so I'll click Select All.
And then we'll move over to the Lens Correction panel, and I'll actually start with a profile panel. The reason I selected all of the images is because you'll get better results with a perspective correction if you've enabled the Lens Profile Correction here and if you move to the Color panel and choose to Remove Chromatic Aberration. Now, we'll over to the Manual panel, but before I start making adjustments, now's the time when I only want the first image selected. So I'll click on the first image, and then let's take a look at the different options under Upright. The first option does an auto-correction.
You can see that the perspective has been straightened on the building and it looks much better. Now, optically it's not exactly straight. But it's a more natural correction to the image. We'll notice the difference as we move through the other options. The next option here only corrects the level. So it's only trying to straighten the horizon of the image. It doesn't actually do any vertical or horizontal corrections. Then the next option will do just vertical corrections.
So now you can see that these vertical lines are straight. In fact if I show the grid on top of it, we can go ahead and compare them to that grid. So optically they are correct here. But it's up to you if you prefer this vertical option versus the auto-perspective correction. If you need them exactly straight, go ahead and select that fourth option in order to straighten those vertical lines. The last option here straightens not only the vertical lines but also the horizontal lines. Again, we can show the grid here and now, you can see, for example, that these horizontal lines are all straighter than they were with just the previous option checked on. So again, it's a matter of preference.
Whichever one of these options you prefer is the one that you should go with. Let's go ahead and move to the next image here and let's look at the different results that we get. Here's the option with Auto. It looks like it's straightening it and doing a really nice job. Of course, if we go to Level, it would only level it, so we're not going to get the perspective correction. The third one gives me only the vertical perspective and I wanted to use this file as an example just because it's so obvious that it hasn't straightened the horizontal lines. It's only straightening the vertical lines.
Finally, the full correction, the last icon there, is going to straighten both the vertical and the horizontals. And we can just look at the difference here between the auto and the vertical. So it's very similar, it's only a little bit difference, again it's a personal preference. Finally when we move down to the ivory building and we walk through the options. Here is the Auto option, so it's leveled it and it's also starting to straighten it. Level of course would only level. The third option here is going to really straighten those verticals, you can always check that by showing the grid.
And finally this last option, the full option, is going to almost make it appear that we're moving around, or the house is moving so that we've got a straight on view of it. And of course you can use any of these presets and then also go down here in the Transform area and modify them. So let's go ahead and add just a slight rotation here, and I just want to point out that if you use any of the manual overrides here. If you do go back and click one of the upright icons, it will actually reset any of the manual settings that you've made here.
I also want to show you that if the distortion on your image is really great, you will also see this transparent checkerboard here that just tells you that to make that kind of distortion, you don't have enough information in your original image. So in order to distort that, you're going to need to do one of two things. You'll either need to crop the file, or you'll need to make up this information maybe by taking this photograph into Photoshop and using maybe one of the Content-Aware Fill tools or the Clone tool.
Regardless of how you do it, you would need to make up that information. There is an option with the Crop tool. You can see that it's set to constrain to image, which means that even if I drag out a crop into the transparent area, when I release the mouse it will constrain it so that it's not cropping into any of the transparent areas, it's constraining it to the image area. Of course we can always re-position and re-size that crop if we wanted to include a different area of our image. All right, let's double-click where it says Vertical to turn that off. I just wanted to make you aware of that because I obviously forced it to do it using the manual overrides down here.
But sometimes when you click on one of the upright options, it will actually show you that checkerboard as well. This time when we click Done, you'll notice that all three of the icons here in Bridge were updated. So as you can see, it's very easy to now correct perspective in Camera Raw. One helpful tip to keep in mind. You might want to think about shooting the scene a bit wider than necessary if you know that you're going to change the perspective. Because you might need to crop the image. And you want to make sure that you have enough information to start with so that when you crop you're not cropping off any important elements.

The Global WASH Campaign was launched in 2001 as a response to the failure of world leaders to recognize sanitation as a target at the UN Millennium Summit in 2000, where the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were adopted. The campaign's primary aim was to mobilize support for bringing sanitation and hygiene to the global agenda. At the World Summit for Sustainable Development in 2002, sanitation was added to the Millennium Development Goals, a significant step towards this goal.
Since then, the campaign has grown into a worldwide movement with the support of many governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and partners. Individual and local WASH campaigns are now active in more than 30 countries. WSSCC encourages other organizations to take up the WASH concept through periodic global and national level WASH campaigns and events.
The Global WASH Campaign periodically refreshes the WASH brand and messages by concentrating for a few years on particular themes such as "The Big Issue" (2001) or "Hurry Up!" (2003 & 2007). Not only designed to raise awareness of water, sanitation, and hygiene issues generally, the 'WASH message' also seeks to change policy by targeting policy-makers in particular.
At a national level, this entails supporting and influencing governments to adopt demand-driven and pro-poor policies for sanitation and water supply, to create budget lines, and establish designated ministries for sanitation.
To capitalize on the momentum generated by the Global WASH Campaign, WSSCC will continue to advocate for improved sanitation, as well as improved hygiene and water supply. The advocacy materials intended to support WASH advocacy at global and country levels can be found here.

COLUMBIA The first time Steve Spurrier crossed paths with Bear Bryant was on Oct. 24, 1964, five games into Spurriers first season as Floridas quarterback. Bryant was in his seventh year as Alabamas coach. He had already won one national championship, in 1961, and would win five more, including 1964.
Spurrier and Florida played the Crimson Tide close that day in Tuscaloosa. Spurrier, who has a photographic memory for such things, still recalls the score, 17-14, in favor of Alabama. But maybe thats because there was something else memorable for him about the game.
I got my teeth knocked out in that game, Spurrier said. Ive had them replaced a couple of times since. Back then, we didnt wear mouthpieces or anything. I got a helmet right under my helmet. Spit it out and kept on playing. I left a tooth on the field there.
Spurrier never faced Alabama again in his playing career. As a head coach, he didnt have a chance to match wits with Bryant, who died in January 1983, about a month after announcing his retirement. Later that year, Spurrier became a head coach for the first time, with the Tampa Bay Bandits of the U.S. Football League.
On Saturday afternoon, when South Carolina hosts Wofford, Spurrier likely will accomplish something previously done only by Bryant become the winningest coach at two SEC schools. Bryant won 232 games at Alabama and 60 at Kentucky, where he worked from 1946-53. Spurrier won 122 games at Florida from 1990-2001. A victory Saturday, in his eighth year at USC, would give him 64, tying him with Rex Enright for the school record.
Spurrier already is, by any measure, USCs most successful coach ever. He has the Gamecocks only 11-win season, last year, and could equal the feat this season. His .636 winning percentage (63-37) is by far the best in school history among coaches who spent at least three seasons in Columbia.
Shortly after arriving at USC, Spurrier said his goal was to pass Enright. Presuming he beats Wofford, he will need to win either next weeks game at Clemson or USCs bowl game to do it.
When I got the job here, I just sort of checked out the history, he said. The only reason I said that was a goal of mine was because I wanted people to know I would be here eight to 10 years and go from there. We hoped in eight years that we might have a chance (to get the record). Of course, three years ago, it looked like it might take 10 or 12 years to get to 64.
In Spurriers first five seasons, USC went 7-5, 8-5, 6-6, 7-6 and 7-6, for 35 wins. After that, the Gamecocks went 9-5, 11-2 and are 8-2 this season, for 28 wins.
Spurrier loves telling the story about how, when he took the USC job in 2005, I had a few buddies say, You cant win there. Nobody else has. Why do you think you can?
He considered that question this week. Why did he think he could?
Nowhere to go but up, he said. I like those situations. It is a big state university with excellent high school talent in the state. I thought, like some people thought, that here was a place that has not reached its potential yet very similar to Florida in 1990.
Spurrier said a big factor in getting the talent he needed to win at USC was the schools athletic facilities upgrades the type of big-money spending that can often lead to wins, and has.
I was lucky to be there at the right time and the right place, Spurrier said. That is what coaching is all about get somewhere at the right time, at the right place with some good players. It took a few years to get real good players here, but weve got a lot better players now than those first few years.

Tim McGraw threw a fan out of his concert in Washington state Saturday night. Tim did what he does (second) best and took security into his own hands by tossing out a woman who got pushy with other women trying to get close to the stage in the pit area and while he was at it, he tossed out a couple of rowdy drunk men who were cussing while it was all happening. The icing on the cake was when Tim saw what was going on, he pulled one woman up on stage and ordered the other woman out of the venue. That's when she threw her drink at fans next to her. Tim does not put up with that kind of behavior. It was a little touch and go for a few minutes, but as you'll see Tim takes care of business in this video.
Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Larry Gatlin, Amy Grant and the late Townes Van Zandt are the 2011 nominees for induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in the songwriter/artist category. One songwriter/artist and two songwriters will be inducted during ceremonies in Nashville on Oct. 16. Garth Brooks was inducted into the national Songwriters Hall of Fame during an event last week in New York City.
According to The Tennessean, Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher are ready to officially call Nashville their home. The couple recently purchased nearly 400 acres in Williamson County to build their dream home. The land sold for just over $2.9 million. The realtor was obviously thrilled (imagine the commission on thatone!) and when asked said Carrie and Mike"were really good to deal with," Landsouth Tennessee President Ardavan Afrakhteh said. "I dealt with Mike, and he was really down to earth." No word yet on when the couple plans to break ground.
Blake Shelton celebrated his 35th birthday by … working. He was opening for Brad Paisley in concert this past Saturday, June 18. Shelton's new wife, fellow country star Miranda Lambert, made it special for her hubby as she joined him onstage. She sang 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' in her signature, sassy style. Then turned to the crowd and asked them "to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Blake. Miranda lead the crowd and even sang, "Happy birthday, Mr. Lambert." Zing! For once in his sarcastic comment-making life, Blake Shelton looked utterly speechless. Quite a rare occurrence, that's for sure. Lambert planted a big smooch on him, hugged him and then ran offstage so the birthday boy could return to entertaining the crowd!
DVR Alert: Blake Shelton will perform "Honey Bee" on the Voice on Tuesday….with Xenia & Dia, the two remaining members of his team, singing background vocals. The song was taped live in Cincy this past Thursday night, where Blake had invited his final two contestants to join him on his tour! In addition to singing on Honey Bee with Blake, Xenia and Dia were invited to join Blake and Brad Paisley on stage for the finale song. NBC was there filming. Blake is opening for Brad on the H2O II tour. He will be performing this Saturday night with Brad at Country Stampede too.

Be Afraid... Be Very Afraid....
Although pronunciation-challenged (for fuck's sakes, it's "NU-CLEE-UR" you retarded fucks) Sarah Palin may come across as just a "gee whilikers, aw shucks ya'll" specimen of folksy down-homism, should she get anywhere NEAR the nuclear football, there is a serious chance she may doom us all (well, more quickly than her party's fiscal and environmental policies already have). If this outtake from her replies at the VP debate doesn't send an icy chill down your spine, you need to cut back on the meds:
Quote of the Day
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand
In a...desperate land
Lost in a roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and well do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you takin' us
The killer awoke before dawn. He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin a blue rock
C'mon, yeah
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end.
"The End" - Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, John Densmore

No idea why you think the people reading my shit will wanna read your shit, but have at it.
I'm sure you can dig up dirty connections on ANYBODY, even Mother Damn Teresa.
Completely meaningless.
Not being able to fully articulate sentences when you're speaking on live television, particularly about in regard to your "eligible targets" for a potential nuclear strike is a WHOLE different ball of wax.

I have shoped on the Bank's website for many years and all items bought are excellent quality goods.With a return policy you can never go wrong.
Nice blazer, buttons fell off.
By Bernie
from South Bend, Indiana
A nice blazer at an acceptable price point. the middle, right button fell off the first time it was worn and now I have to find a replacement set as no extra one was supplied with the coat. Will have to hire a tailor to fix/replace.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Just a few slight problems . . .
By Kidneybean
from Kansas City, MO.
I received the coat today [...] and it fit perfectly, as all my Bank coats have. The fabric and general tailoring seem of very good quality; my only quibble is with the finish. The coat is made in Jordan, an interesting place of origin, but certainly one with which I have no prior experience and therefore no field of reference. In any case, there were several loose threads here and there that required careful removal, and perhaps two or three anomalies in the stitching. That said, the coat is very, very nice, though perhaps not a perfect example of its kind. One should definitely wait for the many Bank sales that reduce this coat's sales price.

Garden House, Spain
The Garden House is a lavish contemporary project located in Spain that was completed in 2012. The property was designed by Joaquin Alvado Banon. The landscaped gardens at this home have the power to relax even the most stressed guest.
The project explores the relation between architecture and nature in a low-density area of the city. The indoor and outdoor spaces are separated only by glass walls, ensuring a continuous connection between the two. This way, the natural/artificial interplay keeps its dynamic nature, not allowing any clear boundaries.
As the building seems to emerge from the ground, nature appears to hold a grip on it, embracing it with green hands that climb over the walls. The residence offers its inhabitants the priceless privilege of walking barefoot on soft grass at every level, taking in the full beauty of nature.
The house was built for a family of three generations, and this detail had a significant role in establishing its various functions. The common area where everybody can meet and socialize is situated on the ground floor, while the upper levels ensure all the privacy every member needs.
