What causes high blood iron?
Normally, your body absorbs only the amount of iron it requires. With high blood iron, however, the body absorbs an abnormally large amount of iron from your diet, and this can result in serious complications. High blood iron is generally the result of a genetic defect or is acquired as a result of multiple blood transfusions.
Common causes of high blood iron
High blood iron may be caused by conditions or diseases including:
- Juvenile hemochromatosis (a genetic mutation distinct from that of primary hemochromatosis)
- Primary hemochromatosis (genetic mutation that causes increased iron absorption)
- Secondary hemochromatosis (acquired disease)
Questions for diagnosing the cause of high blood iron
In diagnosing your condition, your health care provider will ask a series of questions related to your high blood iron including:
- When did you first notice your symptoms?
- Where do you feel your symptoms?
- Is there a history of high blood iron or hemochromatosis in your family?
- Do you have any other symptoms?
- What, if anything, causes your symptoms to improve?
- Does anything cause your symptoms to worsen?
- Have you noticed any changes in your skin?
- Are you taking any medications?
What are the potential complications of high blood iron?
The complications of high blood iron depend largely on the underlying cause and how quickly treatment is sought. When treated promptly, high blood iron poses far less risk of potential complications such as organ damage. A delay or interruption in your treatment, however, can result in permanent damage to your liver and other organs and other serious complications.
Once your health care provider has identified the underlying cause of your high blood iron, it is very important that you carefully follow the recommended treatment plan to reduce the risk of potential complications including:
- Heart disease, especially congestive heart failure
- Liver cancer
- Liver failure
- Pancreatic disease, which can lead to diabetes
- Hemochromatosis. PubMed Health, a service of the NLM from the NIH. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001368/.
- Hemochromatosis. National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC). http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/hemochromatosis/.

OpenType fonts can have thousands of different characters in them, instead of the old fonts that could only hold about 250. This means you can have a single font that has special characters like swashes, small caps, fractions and other cool features. We saw the small caps feature in an earlier movie. Now let's look at how to access some of the other cool OpenType characters. I'll double-click over here in this text frame to get the Type tool, and I'm going to select these numbers. The numbers look fine, but they are not really professional looking. Those are called lining numerals, and they are very good if you're trying to do something like an accounting spreadsheet, but when you're trying to make something really professional looking, it's nicer to use old-style numerals.
Some fonts such as Pro OpenType fonts have old-style numerals built-in and you can get them by going to the Control panel flyout menu, choosing the OpenType submenu, and then choosing Proportional Oldstyle down here at the bottom of the menu. Now before I select that, I want to point out something important about this menu. When a font is missing a special feature, it has brackets around it. For example, this font does not have any swashes, so there are brackets around the word Swash. But it does have Proportional Oldstyle characters, because it does not have any brackets.
When I select that, you'll see the characters change radically. They are just more elegant. They fit into a paragraph of text better. I'll scroll down here to paragraph number three to look at a couple other OpenType formatting options. Almost everyone needs to deal with fractions sooner or later. Here it says 2 3/4 Miles, but that 3/4 is really dumb looking. So I'm going to select the three quarters, 3/4, go to the OpenType submenu here in the Control panel menu, and choose Fractions. No brackets, so it must have some fractions built-in. There we go.
That looks much better. I do still have my extra space here, so I'm going to have to delete that manually just by clicking on it and pressing Delete. Now fractions are interesting, because some fonts only have a particular fraction characters built into them, like 1/2, 3/4, and so on, but they will not work with arbitrary fractions like this 22/7ths. Other fonts do work just fine. Let's see how it works here. I'll choose OpenType > Fractions, and we'll see that it works great, but that's one of those things that you just have to try out with the particular font that you're using.
Now here, 22/7ths Kms are on two different lines. So I'm going to select that and I'll use my No Break style that I talked about in an earlier movie to keep those together. That's better. There are all kinds of other options here. I'm going to select that th for 19th and make that an ordinal. That's an option here, there we go, Ordinal, and it kind of pops it up a little bit. Ordinals are not the same thing as a superscript or subscript. For example, I'll type O2 here to represent oxygen and I'll choose that two, and I've different options here in the OpenType submenu for Superscript or Subscript.
These characters are slightly different and smaller than ordinals, but you can see you've a lot of different options here. Setting all these kinds of special characters used to be a real pain, but these OpenType styling features change all that. Now, anyone can enjoy getting great looking typography.

Despite low review scores, Capcom is touting Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City as a "big success." The company announced today that the new third-person shooter shipped 2 million units worldwide between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City was the first third-person squad-based shooter in the history of the Resident Evil franchise and was developed in the West by SOCOM studio Slant Six Games. Upon the game's release, the studio said it found the game's critical reception "challenging," with studio producer Mike Kerr remarking that "a lot of people put a lot of time and effort into the game and obviously we'd like to see the review scores be a little better than they are right now."
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City shipped in March as a follow-up to 2009's Resident Evil 5. Gamers won't have to wait as long for the next series entry, because Resident Evil 6 is due out this October. Additionally, Resident Evil: Retribution arrives in theaters this September, and a full-length CG movie, Resident Evil: Damnation, hits in October.
A PC version of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is due out on May 18. For more on the title, check out GameSpot's review.

SPARTA, Ky. (June 28, 2014) – Roush Fenway Racing rookie Ryan Reed made his first NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) start at Kentucky Speedway Friday night under the lights. The driver of the No. 16 American Diabetes Association Drive to Stop DiabetesSM presented by Lilly Diabetes Ford Mustang had a fast car with strong lap times, battling for position inside the top-15 all evening. The rookie driver ultimately crossed the finish line 17th.
"I was proud of the team because we had speed," said Reed. "We practiced in the top-five and qualified in the top-15 and raced in the top-15 all night and just couldn't catch a break there. We were faster than a lot of guys in front of us at the end, but just ran out of laps."
The NNS traveled to Kentucky Speedway for the first of two races this season. With a test session on Wednesday, Reed had some additional time on the track for his first NNS start. Teams qualified in the heat of the afternoon on Saturday. Reed piloted his Mustang to 15th to start the race.
Reed took the green flag for the 200-lap, 300-mile race with the threat of rain looming. At the drop of the green, the rookie driver maintained his position inside the top-15. On Lap 27 he informed his Crew Chief Seth Barbour that his Mustang was too loose on entry and too tight on exit.
Barbour used the first caution of the day as an opportunity to tune on the handling of Reed's Mustang, opting for four tires and fuel along with track bar and wedge adjustments.
During the next green flag run, Reed told his crew that the last adjustment helped his entry, but had not fixed the tight on exit condition.
Under the next caution, Barbour again called his driver down pit road to take a swing at the handling. This time he decided on four tires and fuel, along with a track bar adjustment.
The next time the caution flew, Barbour kept his driver on the track, advancing him to 10th on the ensuing restart. Reed was happy with the car, radioing to the team that the adjustment on the previous pit stop had helped the handling of his Mustang.
An untimely caution during a round of green flag stops dropped the No. 16 back to 21st, knocking Reed off the lead lap. Reed battled to get into the position for the free pass, ultimately receiving the pass with 25 laps remaining. The rookie would pick up four positions to close the race, coming home 17th.

The Romney camp recently tapped Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., to be the presumptive GOP nominee's liaison in Congress. She is working with Mitt Romney's policy staff to make sure that he and congressional Republicans are speaking with one voice. She is also organizing House Republicans to rally their constituents to help elect the former Massachusetts governor. To wit, Rep. Aaron Schock of Illinois—a Men's Health cover subject—is heading the "young-American" coalition, and Rep. Dave Reichert of Washington, a former sheriff, is leading the "local law-enforcement" effort. Edited excerpts from McMorris Rodger's interview with National Journal follow.
NJ What is it like to be both a House member and a mother of two?
McMORRIS RODGERS Well, it's a little crazy. Every day, I want more hours in the day, just like any other working mom in America. I don't think it's that different than millions of other moms that are working and also caring for their family. It's a balancing act between the responsibility of your job and then also the responsibility in your home. I have fortunately got a husband who is very supportive and, to a large degree, makes it possible for me to serve in this position. He supports me and wants me to continue to serve in Congress.
NJ I love it when women tell war stories.
McMORRIS RODGERS Cole, our oldest, just turned 5. He's been at one of the charter schools in Washington for three or four years. This spring, he was "stepping up" to kindergarten. And, of course, they called [House] votes, like 10 minutes before 2 o'clock—and, of course, his program started at 2 o'clock. That was the day they decided to honor [Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi's 25 years in the House of Representatives, and I just wanted to get to Cole's program. I was able to vote, and actually the program started late and it all worked out. It makes you anxious every now and then.
NJ GOP members have a lot fewer women in senior staff positions than Democrats do. Is there a problem with Republicans hiring women or promoting them?
McMORRIS RODGERS Not that I've ever seen. I think it's still a matter of encouraging conservative women to get involved in politics. This Congress, I've started a group called Shills on the Hill, which has been a networking organization for young Republican staffers as well as women who are working in some of the think tanks or lobbying organizations. We organize receptions where we bring in speakers. It's to motivate, encourage, and help educate and provide a networking opportunity for young conservative women working on Capitol Hill.
NJ What does Mitt Romney need to understand about women in the electorate?
McMORRIS RODGERS Republicans won the women's vote in 2010. Women are starting businesses at a record pace in America. Two out of three businesses right now are being started by women. They're entrepreneurs. When you talk to them, it's amazing how many I talk to in my own district that are starting their own businesses in the home—Internet-based businesses because of the opportunities that technology has brought women. There are a lot more opportunities to creatively come up with goods or services over the Internet. A lot of those businesses are [started by] women that have an idea and are turning it into a reality. I also reminded [Romney] that women make 85 percent of the health care decisions in this country. They fundamentally recognize how important it is that they have the ability to make those decisions for themselves.
NJ What does Romney need to understand about Congress?
McMORRIS RODGERS I think what Governor Romney needs to understand is that building these relationships is very important to his long-term success as president. We not only believe it is important that we elect him as president, but it is important that the relationships he builds with the House and the Senate members are going to help him once he is elected president in accomplishing his vision and his goals for the country. Part of it is messaging, part of it is the policy development, and then there's always all the logistics. But it is opening up the lines of communication between Governor Romney and the members. For many members, they're meeting him for the first time.
NJ Are some members of your caucus wary about Romney?
McMORRIS RODGERS I haven't found them. There is a lot of enthusiasm. Yes, certainly there are members who supported other candidates in the primaries, but we believe this is the most important election of our lifetime, that we must elect a new president. And Governor Romney is our nominee. Everyone, to a person, is pulling for Governor Romney.

Justin Bieber may want to protect his hold on the teen fragrance market with a new scent.
He'll soon face competition from the English-Irish boy band One Direction, which is aiming squarely for Bieber's audience with the introduction of a women's scent next fall.
This story first appeared in the November 30, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The five member band (think big hair, groomed brows, skinny jeans and pop ballads) have inked a licensing deal with Olivann Beauty, a spin-off of Fusion Brands Inc.'s Luxury Fragrance Division, to release its first fragrance and ancillary products. Bandmates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson and the company have been working on the concept for about six months, said Dana Kline, president of Olivann Beauty. She added the fragrance will launch globally in fall 2013 at department stores, concentrating first on markets where the band is touring and then continue to roll out from there. More details, such as the name, will be released early next year.
The band, billed as a modern-day "British Invasion," has amassed legions of fans with upbeat pop songs like "Live While We're Young" and "What Makes You Beautiful."
One Direction, which rocketed to stardom on the U.K.'s version of "The X Factor," released its second album, "Take Me Home," on Nov. 13. It made its debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 540,000 copies in the first week, making it the band's second chart-topping album in less than a year.

So Canzano...have the Ducks CONVINCED you they are a national championship team yet?
And there may just be men AND women at Vulcan headquarters..you never know..stranger things have happen in 2010....(NOT 1960)
Here's an idea..why not try actually talking to one of these people. Get an interview.
That would be cool.
Then you might actually get some REAL information.
Instead of this drivel speculation.
how is Oden not sounding good? The Blazer's MD opinion is that Greg has tendonitis.
This guy agrees.
So? How is this NOT GOOD NEWS?
Which bridge do you plan on jumping off?
Well I think it is GOOD news that this guy's opinion concurs with the Blazers' physician's opinion.
At this point, I think Greg Oden needs to suck it up. He will. It's his "contract" year.
Maybe it's because he is so laid back..but to me, Greg comes across as fairly unmotivated to do much work. Period.
For whatever reason.
Only Greg knows.
First of all Camby did not hold his hands above his head in fists. I was there. His hands were at chest level and he was doing the back of the hand thing that he does to avoid germs.
So please report accurately. The rest is opinion and you are certainly entitled to yours.
agree. Thank you!
LMA's dad is a drunk.
This may have something to do with how LMA had responded to criticism.
Kudos to him for growing on his own.
The boy has become a man.
Now let's see if Roy can follow suit!!!!

Good to see.
Now let's see if BRoy can follow suit.
troll alert.
Have gone to 3 pre-season games. LMA is dropping his shoulder. Wonderful to see!!!!! Also his calves are no longer straight up and down little sticks. I can see some roundness..muscle. I'm sure his thighs are also more muscular but can't see them with the long baggy shorts.
oh well....
He is playing in the post.
LOVED seeing him draw fouls on Carmello Anthony....who I cannot stand.
Wow, I've never seen such negativity in the reply postings. Try some optimism for a change.
The Blazers are interviewing Pfund who I think will PROBABLY be able to get up to speed fairly quickly if he takes the job. And if he doesn't there is always Griffin of the Suns. Who seems to have done a pretty decent job working with Steve Kerr. And if he comes to the Blazers..here is a MAJOR UPSIDE...he may re-haul the fitness staff in Portland and bring along some of the Phoenix Suns training staff...wouldn't THAT be wonderful. Just think... a team without SCADS of injuries...imagine.
None left? The Blazers are smart to wait. Players are being over paid at this point. When teams realize they aren't getting the big names they will be paying too much for what is out there. The Blazers could pick up some bargains if they play it smart.
Without Paul Allen, the Blazers would be owned by someone else. Perhaps a very good owner. I'm sure the Blazers are considered to be a good investment.

The media has come around. I agree though. The media didn't welcome Andre with open arms AT ALL. Instead they stirred the pot, reacted to Andre's reticence re: taking interviews and fed him to the dogs.
Perhaps the media will learn from this one. Next time a savant player comes to Portland, they will give the guy a freaking break and let his play speak for itself.
79% is the number...% that wins the series after a first game win. Andre couldn't do it by himself on those other teams. He had Iguadala in Phili but not much else. Dalembert is no Camby. The Blazers have a much more talented roster than the teams Andre was on in the past.
Also, a better coaching staff.
And your point is?
Ken Mauer is also a convicted felon. I hope there are repercussions for the way this game was called.
His hammy hurts

US Airways flight attendants approve contract
TEMPE, Ariz. — Flight attendants at US Airways approved a new contract on Thursday that wraps up some unfinished business from the airline's 2005 merger with America West, and gets them started on the next merger, with American.
Eighty percent of flight attendants voted to approve the deal, according to the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA. They had rejected two previous tentative agreements, although the most recent vote in September was very close. The new deal includes terms that address the proposed merger with American Airlines.
US Airways said that within 30 days, talks will begin to lay out a plan for a combined contract to cover flight attendants at US Airways and American. Those four-way talks will include both airlines and both flight attendant unions.

I recently decided to compile some of the blog posts that I have written regarding social media and administrators on my own blog site. I have created a "page" for these articles that I will continue to update as I write posts that may be helpful, but I just wanted to share this as a blog post to those people who may subscribe to this through an RSS feed or email subscription. There are so many good articles out there but I wanted to compile the ones I have written to help to continuously develop my own portfolio of work. Please see the articles with brief descriptions below:
As I have done a lot of work with school administrators on why they should be using social media and some practical ways to use it within their schools, I wanted to compile some articles together that will help schools/organizations move forward. They will be listed under two categories; the why and the how. The articles are listed below:
The Why
The Power of Twitter - This was one of my first experiences with the power of the network and how Twitter was an amazing resource that could be used to connect with passionate educators all around the world.
An Open Letter to School Administrators - As I become more familiar with social media and how it could be used to improve our schools, this post was written to give administrators some ideas of how they could get started with some tools, who they could follow, as well as some inspiring quotes.
This is not optional anymore - This post discusses the importance of educational administrators to start using social media and learn openly with their schools. Here is a quote from the post:
There can no longer be an "opt out" clause when dealing with technology in our schools, especially from our administrators. We need to prepare our kids to live in this world now and in the future. Change may feel hard, but it is part of learning. We expect it from our kids, we need to expect it from ourselves.
Why Social Media Can and is Changing Education - This post discusses the power of social media across education and makes some points on some of the trends that are happening with schools around the world.
The Power to Kill Innovation - I was disheartened to see a Facebook Page created by a Kindergarten teacher in the states being shut down due to insufficient knowledge on the use of it in the classroom and with the learning community. This article really shows what can happen to a teacher that will dishearten them if we as administrators are not comfortable with emerging trends and technologies.
#Twitteracy - If we are unable to understand what a hashtag or a mention is on Twitter, are we becoming illiterate? The short video at the end of this post really shows the power 140 characters can have.
…and this is why teachers should have blogs - I saw a great example of a teacher starting blogging to openly share her learning with her students and their parents and needed to blog it to the world. This is a great example of what teachers can do with blogs that goes past simply posting homework or assignments.
140 Characters of Kindness - This is a video of me speaking at #140Cuse sharing a personal story of how Twitter and connections I have made over the Internet helped me through a difficult time in my life.
The How
Twitter Hashtags in the Classroom - Hashtags can be used very effectively to help educators organize their classrooms and create an open learning environment. This post gives reasons why you should hashtags with students that tweet in your class, as well as ways that you can set it up.
What Should A Networked Educational Leader Tweet About? - Many administrators have no idea what to tweet about when starting Twitter so this post on the "do and do nots" of tweeting should help those that are reluctant to begin.
Tweeting for Schools - Many schools are now starting to have organizational twitter accounts and this tutorial offers ideas of what you can tweet out as an organization. The focus is slightly different from a personal Twitter account but the connections are still extremely valuable.
Figuring Out For Facebook - Many schools are using Facebook to connect with students but I think it is important to provide caution on "friending" students as this can cause some major issues. This post also provides a link to "Facebook for Educators" which may help many schools get started.
The Blended PLC - As we started our "Learning Leader Project" this year in Parkland School Division, we decided to open our learning up to the world, and share our learning virtually as it happens. This post provides the rationale and the reasons on why this could be done.
Brand You - "Branding" is something that many educators are looking at not only as schools, but as individuals as well. Educators need to understand that we have a digital footprint whether we help create it or not so it is important to try and put our work out there. This is not only to make ourselves marketable, but also to help our fellow educators. Sharing is something that we teach even before kindergarten and social media helps us continue this practice easily as adults.
I am hoping that you some of these articles that I have written will help you or your organization on your journey to become networked educators. I will continue to add as articles I write are applicable.

Haverhill schoolchildren ask speeding motorists: 'what would you have done if you had hit me?'
Posted: June 28, 2014|
Irresponsible drivers were punished for speeding through Haverhill – by some of the town's schoolchildren.
A team of pupils from Westfield Primary School joined officers from the Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) to carry out a speed watch in Wratting Road, which has a 30mph speed limit.
Six cars were stopped for speeding – and five of the motorists were given the option to speak to the children, receive three points, or go on an awareness course.
PCSO Mark Isaac said: "Unsurprisingly they all chose to speak with the children. Those five then had to answer tough questions such as, 'what would you have done if you had hit me?' and 'why are you speeding and putting our lives at risk?'"
This is the second speed watch exercise the police have carried out this year on Wratting Road. The first took place with pupils from Coupals Primary School in March.
The children also designed road safety posters to distribute, and the SNT are hoping to find funding to get them made into road signs.
PCSO Isaac added: "The message delivered by the children is arguably better, with a more lasting impact than issuing points.
"All officers involved saw that speaking with the children really had a significant effect on the drivers."

Pope Francis is reaching out to gays, saying he won't judge priests for their sexual orientation. In a remarkably open and wide-ranging news conference the pope said, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?"
Francis' predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, signed a document in 2005 that said men with deep-rooted homosexual tendencies should not be priests. Francis has been much more conciliatory, saying gay clergymen should be forgiven and their sins forgotten.
Francis' remarks came today during a plane journey back to the Vatican from his first foreign trip in Brazil.

Marshall called Goff's number
HUNTINGTON -- Dre Kane called Rob Goff's number Saturday, and the forward answered.
In a regular-season ending defeat at East Carolina (86-79), Goff had his best game for the Marshall Thundering Herd men's basketball team. It was the kind of performance people anticipated when Goff arrived in 2011 as the 18th-rated junior college prospect in the nation.
"I told him, 'You keep scoring and I'm coming right back to you,'" said Kane, the Herd's junior point guard.
Goff was on the court for 32 of the 40 minutes, which matched his career high.
He had 27 points on 12-for-19 shooting -- all career highs -- six rebounds, two assists and three steals (also a career-best) when he fouled out with 44 seconds left in the game at Minges Coliseum in Greenville, N.C.
The 6-foot-9, 240-pound senior scored from underneath the basket, in the lane and on baseline jump shots. The 36.2 percent free throw shooter also made three of four at the line.
"They were calling plays for me," Goff said. "It definitely boosted my confidence."
Marshall was back in town Sunday for a team meeting and has a Tuesday early afternoon practice before leaving for the Conference USA tournament in Tulsa, Okla.
The ninth-seeded Herd (13-18 season, 6-10 conference) and eighth-seeded Tulane (18-13, 6-10) meet in a 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, first-round game in the BOK Center. The winner will play top-seeded regular season champion Memphis (27-4, 16-0) at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Marshall will have a public workout at the tournament site at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
"The feeling of helping my team out makes me want to do it again," said Goff, who's averaging 4.9 points and 3.6 rebounds a game.
Goff's late-career surge began earlier in the week with eight points and five rebounds in a victory over Southern Miss on his Senior Day in Cam Henderson Center.
But, Marshall head coach Tom Herrion said it's been going on longer.
"He's been playing with that kind of purpose and energy the last couple weeks," Herrion said. "He's taking good shots. He's making free throws."
Goff played out of his mind Saturday against the Pirates, Kane said.
East Carolina (18-11, 9-7), seeded fourth in the tournament, beat Marshall with it specialty -- 3-point shooting.
The Pirates made (233) and attempted (668) more 3-pointers than anyone in the conference regular season and were 10-for-20 against the Herd.
Pirates' point guard Miguel Paul scored 22 with four 3-pointers, forward Maurice Kemp added 21 points and guard Akeem Richmond scored 18 while also making four 3-pointers.
Marshall trailed by 10 at halftime and battled back to lead with about seven minutes remaining.
"We just have to do a better job of getting (defensive) stops down the stretch," Herrion said.
Herd forward Elijah Pittman netted 21 points and Kane popped in 20.
Kane also had 12 assists compared to Paul's 10 and finished as the conference leader with 7.1 per game to 6.9.

A rape attempt in a Jakarta angkot was averted thanks to the heroic efforts of a Kopassus member and other motorcyclists.
IS, 31, the victim, was on her way home from her office in Plaza Sentral building in the Semanggi area of Jalan Sudirman late on Monday night when the unfortunate incident began.
It was around 11 p.m. and IS's boyfriend, who usually picks her up, had to do something else that day. She flagged down a public minivan with the C01 label, which means it runs the Ciledug (Tangerang) – Kebayoran Lama route. Late at night, however, angkots are known to change routes, and the minivan was headed to Senen that night.
"Not many angkots operate at night," she said on Tuesday. "I've taken this angkot to go home before and nothing bad had ever happened."
The minivan already had three passengers when IS got on the van. Another one got in after her.
IS said she started to worry when the driver started asking her strange questions. She got even more worried when the minivan, a Daihatsu Gran Max, headed to Lapangan Banteng instead of to Harmoni.
All of a sudden, two of the men near hear, aged between 20-30 years old, attacked her.
"When we were near the Pertamina office intersection, the angkot slowed down and the lights went out," she said. "They closed the door and the windows, so I started shouting."
Luckily, a member of the Army Special Forces (Kopassus), 2nd Sgt. Nicholas Sandi, was driving nearby on his motorcycle with his girlfriend Anita and heard IS screaming.
Nicholas followed the angkot and banged his helmet against the minivan, asking the driver to stop. Other motorcyclists noticed what was happening and decided to help him.
Seeing that they wouldn't be able to escape, the angkot driver and the other passengers pushed IS out of the minivan.
"I was forced to go down, they pushed me to the street when were near the Supreme Court building," she said.
Nicholas asked his girlfriend, Anita, to assist IS and take her to the nearby Gambir police station while he continued the chase. The chase ended in Dukuh Atas, where Nicholas was able to detain the driver, identified as a 16-year-old with the initials A.A. The suspect is now in custody at the Central Jakarta police station.
His four friends who were in the angkot with him managed to escape, along with IS's cellphone.
Central Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Angesta Romano Yoyol said A.A. and his friends rented the angkot for Rp 30,000 ($3). They had only planned on robbing passengers, but apparently got "too excited," he said.
A C01 angkot was also involved in the rape of an 18-year-old university student, JM, in January this year. But no arrests were made.

Research Interests
My research focuses on how genetic and environmental influences contribute to the development of patterns of substance use and related behaviors, such as antisocial behavior and depression. We have studied samples of >10,000 twins from early in adolescence until young adulthood, collecting longitudinal data on health behaviors and personality traits at multiple assessments from age 12 to 25. We are currently studying questions such as: how important are genetic and environmental influences on various aspects of substance use and related disorders; does the importance of genetic and environmental influences change across development; how do environmental risk factors, such as parental monitoring and home atmosphere, peers, and neighborhood influences, interact with genetic predispositions? In addition, I am involved in projects aimed at identifying specific genes contributing to these disorders and characterizing the risk associated with those genes (e.g., do they impact multiple related phenotypes, such as both drinking and conduct problems; is the gene more or less important in particular environments; does the influence of the gene change across developmental stages). Research opportunities involve working on the population-based Finnish Twin studies (described above); the Collaborative Study of the Genetics of Alcoholism and/or the Irish Alcohol Dependence Sample, two projects with the goal of identifying genes involved in alcohol dependence and related disorders. In addition, I head the genotyping component of several longitudinal, developmental studies, with extensive phenotypic assessments spanning from early childhood to mid-adulthood, and genotyping being conducted at our molecular genetics laboratory at VCU. These include the Child Development Project, a sample of ~500 children followed with intensive annual assessments from kindergarten through age 25; the Mobile Youth Study, an on-going community-based sample of children ages 10-18 from high-risk, impoverished neighborhoods in Mobile, Alabama; and the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, an epidemiological cohort of ~10,000 children enrolled when their mothers were pregnant and assessed yearly -- prenatally through young adulthood. In these projects we are studying how identified genes contribute to trajectories of risk across development, and how different environmental factors exacerbate or mitigate risk.

GAME NOTES: The Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament continues on Thursday night when the top-seeded Florida Gulf Coast Eagles welcome the fourth-seeded East Tennessee State Buccaneers to Alico Arena for semifinal-round action.
The winner of this game will take on either USC Upstate of Mercer for the tournament title.
ETSU needed two extra sessions to dismiss Lipscomb to open up the tournament but was finally lifted to the thrilling 89-88 victory after A.J. Merriweather drained the game-winning free throw with just two seconds left in double overtime. The triumph allowed the Bucs to improve to 18-14 overall, but now they head out on the road, where they've gone just 5-9.
FGCU's tournament began with an easy 77-55 victory over Stetson in Tuesday's quarterfinal round, its fifth win in its last six games dating back to the regular season. The Eagles are now 21-11 overall and have been nothing short of excellent at Alico Arena (14-1).
The teams split the two-game series during the regular season, with each side winning at home. ETSU leads the all-time series, 9-4.
After the Bucs overcame a 16-point second half deficit to tie the game in the final 10 seconds of regulation and coughed up a late lead in the first overtime, they finally prevailed in dramatic fashion in the second extra session when Merriweather made the second of two free-throw attempts with two seconds left to lift them to victory. They shot only 36.2 percent from the field on the evening but made up for it with a 31-of-40 showing at the free- throw line. Jalen Riley scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Kinard Gadsden-Gillard (12 points, 10 rebounds) also tallied a double-double, while Rashawn Rembert (16 points), Lester Wilson (13) and Hunter Harris (11) were also effective in the marathon matchup.
ETSU has been led by its strong offense this season, as it shoots 43.3 percent from the field and 75 percent at the foul line for 77.2 ppg, but it has allowed nearly as many points on the opposite end of the court (76.4 ppg). Rembert pours in 16.8 ppg and has drained 99 3-pointers at a 42.9 percent clip. Riley (13.2 ppg), Gadsden-Gilliard (11.0 ppg), Wilson (10.4 ppg), Merriweather (9.8 ppg) and Harris (9.3 ppg) have all been active for the deep squad as well.
The Eagles barely broke a sweat in their quarterfinal-round bout earlier in the week, as they opened up a 20-point lead at the half and put the game on autopilot from there. They outshot Stetson from the field, 48.1 percent to 36.2 percent, won the rebounding battle (41-30) and enjoyed a stellar showing from the free-throw line (19-of-24). Pacing four players in double figures with 17 points was Chase Fieler, who shot 7-of-8 from the field. Bernard Thompson had 16 points, Eric McKnight and Jamail Jones netted 15 and 10, respectively, and Brett Comer tallied nine points, nine assists and seven rebounds.
On the season, FGCU has performed well on both ends of the court, shooting 47.4 percent from the field for 72.6 ppg while allowing 67.2 ppg on just 41.7 percent shooting. Thompson paces the squad with 15.1 ppg, shooting 79.1 percent from the free-throw line while knocking down a team-best 52 3- pointers. Comer runs an effective point with 14.0 ppg and 5.5 apg, while Fieler rounds out an impressive scoring trio with 13.9 ppg on 55.2 percent field goal shooting.
ETSU is riding high after its thrilling quarterfinal-round victory, but expect that momentum to come to a halt on the road in this one against the defending- champion Eagles.

#BB2MP Ride & Anniversary Party Recap
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day for our first official Black Butte to Mirror Bike Ride and 25th Anniversary Party! This past Saturday hundreds of cyclists came together to ride the back roads of Central Oregon. The ride started at Black Butte Ranch, outside of Sisters and ended by crossing Mirror Pond at Drake Park in downtown Bend. We met folks who had come all the way from Arizona and Nevada to ride the race and see the landmarks that inspired our damn tasty beer.

Taking "The Kids" Sightseeing in St. Louis
"The Kids" have been in St. Louis for a while but have never had the opportunity to do any sightseeing. Since the Deschutes Brewery team was in town for Base Camp Week, we decided to put on the sunscreen and take the camera out on the town to learn about a few famous landmarks that makes St. Louis so special.

Brewer Birdwell's Blog on Malt Rooms & Mega Fans
As a brewer at Deschutes Brewery, I'm often amazed by the array of assignments a workweek can entail.
For example, a random sampling could reveal a day like this:
We descended into the malt room with apprehension and dust masks. How long was this going to take? It was time for a deep clean of our malt room, a three-story nightmare with décor part dungeon/part warehouse. Here, malt is stored and transported to different areas of the brewery which creates endless dust that settles on and saturates everything. No piece of machinery, wall or floor surface is spared from this seemingly permanent residue from brews past. This is basic grunt work, hands and knees floor scrubbing, vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, no degree or experience necessary. Yet it was a team effort with everyone pitching in from Brewmasters to interns. Four hours later we ran out of pizza and had funny coughs. This is part of being a brewer.

Brewing a Gose with Artisanal Oregon Salt
We have been making beer for 25 years but remain students of beer. That might be one of the more fulfilling parts of this job - the never ending learning, head scratching, ah-ha moments. It's the fact that creativity if a part of the job description. One would think that being in the business for so long we would have exhausted all styles and variations of styles out there, but just like millions of musicians can still create unique combinations of sounds with the notes available to them, so can our brewers invent their own styles, combine past and present, and resurrect recipes and make them their own. Such is the case with the Deschutes Gose.
Gose is a traditional German beer that belongs to the Berlinerweisse / Witbier family, and similarly takes a fair amount of wheat in the grist bill. It is lightly soured by Lactobacillus and uniquely spiced with coriander and salt. Sounds like a margarita beer, right? Why the heck did it take us so long to brew one?
Black Butte to Mirror Pond Instagram Giveaway: May 24-June 10

Deschutes River Recording Reunion: Laura Gibson Recap, Huichica Music Festival & More
Last Friday we had the privilege of watching the powerful and talented Laura Gibson perform at our pub in Bend. Laura's performance was the last stop on our monthly First Friday Art Walk and she helped us kick off the release of our well-loved Twilight Summer Ale. Laura's roots run deep in our own backyard: she spent this past February at Caldera in the mountains of Central Oregon, writing and reflecting on her work. Last summer we traveled with her out to Smith Rock to record the third installment of Deschutes River Recordings, a unique partnership between Northwest musicians and the Deschutes River Conservancy to create songs by the river, for the river. We were thrilled to welcome her back to Bend to perform the latest from her album La Grande (aptly named after a small town in Eastern Oregon).

Brewer Birdwell's Blog on Bitterness
Deschutes is considered by many to be a hop-forward brewery and we're certainly not going to argue. We use primarily whole hops in our beers to produce a unique and enticing flavor and aroma. We're not afraid of bitterness, I mean, holy moly, have you ever had an Inversion IPA? We like to experiment with new ways of processing hops (which I can't tell you about) and we revel in trialing new methods of marrying hops and beer...Hop Henge Experimental IPA! So it's a bit of a surprise that several new beers headed your way are, shall we call them, distracted, from our usual hop first, ask questions later modus operandi.
Consider Deschutes River Ale at only 28 IBUs and 4% ABV. Simple, sessionable and satisfying, Deschutes River Ale offers you a chance to nuzzle up to Cascade and Crystal hops without having to call a taxi. Golden in color with light bitterness and appreciable back-end hop goodness, Deschutes River Ale proves flavor and easy drinking can flow together.
Why our Brewers Like It: Easy hop gathers! This whole hop obsession is fantastic for the beer but a pain in the brewer's behind to accomplish! Remember, effort required for one Inversion IPA hop gather = effort required to rake the leaves in your backyard. However, Deschutes River Ale hop gather = using leaf blower to blow leaves to neighbor's yard.
