This is the first module in the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) Project Suite curriculum. Activities are self-directed by students or student teams using online videos and data from the SDO satellite to explore, research and build knowledge about... (View More) features of the Sun. Students build vocabulary, apply or demonstrate learning through real world connections, and creating resources to use in their investigations. Each activity comes with both a teacher and student guide with sequential instructions and embedded links to the needed videos and internet resources. Activity 1A: Structure of the Earth's Star takes students through the features and function of the Sun's structures using online videos, completing a "Sun Primer" data sheet using information from the videos, and creating a 3D origami model of the Sun. Students use a KWL chart to track what they have learned. Activity 1B: Observing the Sun has students capture real solar images from SDO data to find and record sunspots and track their movement across the surface of the Sun. Activity 1C has students create a pin-hole camera to use in calculating the actual diameter of the Sun, and then calculate scales to create a Earth-Sun scale model. Students reflect on their learning and results at the end of the module. An internet connection and access to computers are needed to complete this module. (View Less)

This set of three videos illustrates how math is used in satellite data analysis. The videos feature NASA senior climate scientist Claire Parkinson. Parkinson explains how the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice covers are measured from satellite data and... (View More) how math is used to determine trends in the data. In the first video, she leads viewers from satellite data collection through obtaining a time series of monthly average sea ice extents for November 1978 – December 2012, for the Arctic and Antarctic. In the second video, she begins with the time series from the first video, removes the seasonal cycle by calculating yearly averages, and proceeds to calculate the slopes of the lines to get trends in the data, revealing decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic. In the third video, she uses a more advanced technique to remove the seasonal cycle and shows that the trends are close to the same, whichever method is used. She emphasizes the power of math and that the techniques shown for satellite sea ice data can also be applied to a wide range of data sets. (View Less)

As the admitted Anglophiles we are, we were rather excited to learn that a major British mainstay has splashed over to our shores. Boots-for those of you not familiar with this venerable brand-is a UK-founded pharmacy and creator of Britain's biggest beauty brand, No7. Starting this month, Boots products (five different lines) will be widely available in the States for the first time. You can find them now in over 1500 Target stores, and next month available in over 500 CVS stores (mainly in Southern California). Of all the Boots products, we're particularly into their No 7 line of cosmetics and rumor has it we're not the only ones...
1. Heidi Klum is into Boots No7 Stay Perfect Eye Mousse. It's waterproof, doesn't crease, and comes is this cool wee tube. ($7.99, in Target stores)
2. Demi Moore and her daughters a variety of products, including this (Katherine's favorite) No7 Blush Tint Cream Blossom. It has a great texture and is super easy to blend. ($9.99, in Target stores)
3. Keira Knightly loves No7 Line and Define Nude lip pencil, so much so rumor has it she had a shipment sent to her during "Pirates of the Carribean" filming. ($6.99, in Target stores)
4. Milla Jovovich is wild about No7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes. In Hillary's opinion, they're the perfect thing to tuck in your car or gym bag for fast makeup removal when you're on the go. They're also moisturizing so you don't need to lug additional product. ($6.99, in Target stores)
[Editor's Note: We didn't have room to show the following products, but WWWD is also fond of Boots No. 7 Intensive Line Smoother Cream and the Juicy Tube-like Boots No. 7 Lip Glace in Lollipop.]

If you are just joining us, you can take a peek at the last two years' of topics by clicking on the Sharing Memories tab at the top of the blog. You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics that you don't like. There are no rules, and the topics are just a guide if you want or need them.
The goal is to write - to get your memories down on paper for your descendants
|Age 16
As a teenager my rat tail metal comb was my best friend. With that I could tease my hair to heights that defied gravity! We'd tease until we had an almost perfect ball and then smooth a very thin top layer over top of all that tangled brittle hair.
|Hippie Hair!
Ouch! I had so many burns on my scalp from this nightmarish procedure. But vanity will always win and not only did I use the iron trick to straighten my hair, I used to dry it in front of an electric space heater.
No straightening irons or hair dryers back then - just the hair dryer that came with the hose (sort of like a vacuum cleaner hose) and a hood at the end that went over your head. But that was meant for old-fashioned curler hairstyles and that was definitely not what we hippies wanted!
|Age 3
Of course there were many changes of hair styles over the years. For your amusement (and mine!) I've taken some photos of me throughout the years and cropped them to show - my hair at various times of my life.

Scouting Creighton
Creighton returned 11 lettermen and four starters from last year's 28-8 team that reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament for a second consecutive season. CU opened up its campaign with a 107-61 win over Alcorn State on Friday.
Senior forward
Doug McDermott
had 20 points in 20 minutes on Friday and enters the 2013-14 season as the nation's only returning consensus First Team All-American, as well as the nation's leading returning scorer. He's led the Jays in scoring and rebounding each of the past three seasons, and was named Preseason BIG EAST Player of the Year by league coaches.
The other three returning starters include guards
Grant Gibbs
(8.5 ppg., 5.8 apg., 4.1 rpg. last year),
Jahenns Manigat
(13.0 ppg.) and
Austin Chatman
(6.0 ppg., 5.0 apg., 5.0 rpg.). Gibbs led the MVC in assists each of the last two years and was awarded a surprise sixth year in early July.
Junior center
Will Artino
(12.0 ppg., 4.0 rpg.) and reigning MVC Sixth Man of the Year
Ethan Wragge
(15.0 ppg., 6.0 rpg.) will see time on the front line to help replace starting center
Gregory Echenique
(9.7 ppg., 6.6 rpg., 1.7 bpg.).
Creighton has been picked to finish third in the 10-team BIG EAST Conference this winter.
Scouting UMKC
An 81-76 upset loss to Emporia State spoiled the head coaching debut of UMKC's Kareem Richardson, who was hired after serving as an assistant coach on Louisville's national championship team a year ago.
The Kangaroos returned three starters and eight lettermen from last year's 8-24 team, a group led by senior forward Fred Chatmon (7.4 ppg., 7.3 rpg. last year).
Freshman Martez Harrison had 20 points, five rebounds, four assists and four steals in his college debut, shooting an incredible 21 free throws.
Another player to keep an eye on is senior forward Trinity Hall, who scored 19 points and tied a career-high with 11 rebounds in Friday's loss. Hall averaged 6.0 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest in 24 games a year ago, including 14 starts.
The Coaches
Greg McDermott
(Northern Iowa, 1988) is in his fourth season as head coach at Creighton. He led CU to a 28-8 mark last year, and is now 81-30 with the Bluejays. McDermott has previously been a head coach at Iowa State (2006-10), Northern Iowa (2001-06), North Dakota State (2000-01) and Wayne State (1994-2000). He owns a career mark of 361-225 in his 20th season and is 230-161 in his 13th Division I campaign. McDermott is assisted by
Darian DeVries
Steve Lutz
Patrick Sellers
Kareem Richardson (Evansville, 1997) is 0-1 in his first season as a head coach at the college level. He has also been an assistant at Indianapolis, Indiana State, Wright State, Evansville, UMKC, Drake, Xavier and Louisville. Richardson is assisted by Angres Thorpe, Sean Bledsoe and Jason Sautter.
The Series With UMKC
Creighton leads the all-time series with UMKC by a 7-3 margin, including a 5-0 record in Omaha. The teams have not met since a 79-58 win in Kansas City on Nov. 18, 1998, and last met in Omaha on Nov. 14, 1997.
Greg McDermott
is 2-1 all-time against UMKC, with all three meetings taking place while head coach at Northern Iowa.
McDermott has never faced a Kareem Richardson-led team.
Last Game Recap
A sellout crowd of 17,740 witnessed Creighton set an opening night record for points in a 107-61 romp over Alcorn State on Friday.
Doug McDermott
had 20 points in 20 minutes and led five Bluejays in double-figures.
Comparing Korver's
UMKC's squad includes fifth-year senior Kirk Korver, the youngest brother of former Bluejay sharpshooters Kyle (1999-2003) and Kaleb (2007-11) Korver. Another brother, Klayton, starred at Drake from 2003-08.
As the chart on page five shows, the Korver brothers have combined 3,923 points, 818 career three-pointers and 478 games played in their college careers. Their combined success of the Korver brothers, uncle Kris (two NAIA titles at Northwestern [Iowa]) and mom (Laine Korver once scored 74 points in a high school game) has led multiple media outlets to annoit them the "first family of Iowa basketball".
Alas, Kirk Korver is not expected to play on Monday due to a broken foot.
NBA Representation
Creighton has a pair of NBA players once again this year, as Kyle Korver (Atlanta Hawks) and Anthony Tolliver (Charlotte Bobcats) are in the league.
Including 2013-14, Creighton has now had an NBA player in 30 of the last 31 years, and 47-of-50 seasons since 1964-65.
Korver carries a 78-game streak with a 3-point basket into Saturday (Nov. 9), having obliterated the Hawks franchise mark of 42 last season. In NBA history, only Dana Barros (89), Michael Adams (79) and Dennis Scott (78) have compiled longer streaks. He ranks 27th in NBA history with 1,338 career three-pointers and is 12th in league history with his 42.1 percent marksmanship from three-point range. The only other player in league history with at least 1,200 treys and 41.2 percent accuracy is Steve Nash.
Milestone Watch
Jahenns Manigat
needs one three pointer to become the ninth player in Creighton history with 150 three-pointers.
Doug McDermott
needs one rebound to become the sixth player in Creighton history with 850 or more rebounds.
Grant Gibbs
needs nine assists to become the seventh player in Creighton history with 400 or more assists. That does not include the 21 assists he dished at Gonzaga.
Don't I Know You?
Kareem Richardson is new as a head coach, but he's quite familiar to Creighton from his days as an assistant in CU's former league, the Missouri Valley Conference. Richardson served as an assistant at Indiana State (1999-2002), Evansville (2003-07) and Drake (2008-11) over the years.
During his time at Evansville, Richardson was an assistant coach for
Steve Merfeld
, Creighton's current assistant to the head coach.
Creighton vs Kareem Richardson Assisted Teams
School (Years) Creighton W-L
Indiana State (1999-02) 6-2
Evansville (2003-07) 7-1
Drake (2008-11) 3-3
Total 16-6
Making An Entrance
Iowa Western CC transfer
Devin Brooks
has shown moments of brilliance in his first two appearances in a Creighton uniform.
Brooks had six points, seven assists and two rebounds in 15 minutes during the exhibition victory, going 3-for-3 from the field.
In the regular-season opener vs. Alcorn State, Brooks had 15 points, six rebounds and five assists in 15 minutes, sinking 3-of-4 field goals.
Brooks is the first Creighton player with at least 15 points, six rebounds and five assists in a season-opener since Benoit Benjamin had 25 points, 17 rebounds and six assists (and six blocks) vs. Nebraska-Kearney on Nov. 24, 1984.
Crowd Control
Creighton's sellout crowd of 17,740 last Friday vs. Alcorn State was its largest ever for a home-opener. It was also Creighton's largest home crowd for any November game, and the ninth-largest home crowd in program history.
Hottest Ticket in Town
Creighton Basketball has proven to be a hot ticket in recent years, but the anticipation for this season has taken those levels up a notch.
Creighton sold more than 15,100 season tickets for the first time, a figure that doesn't factor in students. Last year's record was 13,739.
Creighton has also sold more than 2,100 all-session tickets for the BIG EAST Tournament already, the most by any league school since Connecticut in 2006.
When single-game tickets went on sale on Oct. 29, seven games sold out within an hour, including less than 20 minutes for games vs. Marquette, Georgetown, Nebraska, Seton Hall and Chicago State.
Notes From The Opener
Creighton outscored Alcorn State 54-16 in bench points. Creighton's 54 bench points were its most since scoring 56 off the bench vs. Longwood on Nov. 20, 2012 in an 105-57 victory.
Creighton outscored Alcorn State 33-2 off turnovers. It was the most points off turnovers in the 111 games of
Greg McDermott
's Creighton tenure, and most by a Bluejay team since 33 points off turnovers vs. Florida A&M on Nov. 17, 2009.
Creighton has scored 198 points in its last two home games, and scored 52 points or more in each of its last three halves at home. Last season Creighton closed out its home schedule with a 91-79 win vs. Wichita State, including 55 points in the second half.
Century Mark in CenturyLink Center
Creighton's 107-61 win over Alcorn State on Friday was noteworthy for several reasons.
-Creighton improved to 47-2 all-time when scoring 100 or more points, including an 8-0 mark at CenturyLink Center Omaha.
-Creighton's 107 points are tied for eighth-most in school history, and its most ever in the month of November.
-Creighton has won 20 straight games when scoring 100 points or more.
-Since 2002-03, Creighton is 8-1 in the game after a contest in which the Jays scored 100 points or more.
-Creighton will look to score 100 points in consecutive games for the first time since Jan. 29, 1966 (Idaho State) and Feb. 2, 1966 (Memphis). UMKC last allowed 100 points in a game on Feb. 24, 2011 vs. Oakland.
Nation's Best Offense?
You can make a case that Creighton boasted the nation's best offensive production last year.
Creighton was second in the country in field goal percentage (50.1) and three-point percentage (41.4), third in two-point field goal percentage (55.7), ninth in free-throw percentage (75.9) and 10th in three-pointers per game (8.5).
Below is where Creighton ranked nationally in the first three years of the
Greg McDermott
tenure (does not include 2013-14):
Category Stat National Rank
FG Percentage .487 1st
3FG Percentage .401 2nd
Assists 1,793 4th

Record Watch
With seven field goals on Friday,
Doug McDermott
took over sole possession of first place on Creighton's all-time field goals made list with 818 in his career. He had entered the season tied with Chad Gallagher (1987-91) for the school-record with 811.
McDermott also made four free throws on Friday, passing MLB Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson for third in CU history with 420.
Ask The Experts
ESPN had 20 experts predict the 2013-14 season. Nine of them (Jay Bilas, Adrian Branch, Elena Bergeron, Dan Dakich, Jimmy Dykes, Myron Medcalf, Digger Phelps, Miles Simon and Dick Vitale) predicted
Doug McDermott
would be National Player of the Year.
CBS Sports asked six experts to predict the 2013-14 season. Two of them (Doug Gottlieb and Jon Rothstein) picked
Doug McDermott
would be National Player of the Year.
Sports Illustrated had four experts predict the 2014-14 season. Two of them (Seth Davis and Luke Winn) picked
Doug McDermott
would be National Player of the Year.
All told, McDermott collected 13 votes, Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart 10 votes, Kansas' Andrew Wiggins three votes, Kentucky's Julius Randle three votes and Louisville's Russ Smith one vote.
Quick Starts Key To Playing in Postseason
Creighton has started off 3-0 (or better) in 12 of the previous 14 seasons. Each of Creighton's last 14 3-0 starts have been culminated in a postseason tournament appearance at the end of the year.
Big Margin Leads To Big Things
Creighton's 107-61 win on Friday vs. Alcorn State was its highest point total in a season-opener ever, one point more than the 2002-03 team that opened with a 106-50 win over Texas-Arlington. The 2002-03 team went on to be 29-5.
Eight of Creighton's 18 all-time NCAA Tournament teams have scored 90 or more points in their season-opener.
Here's a look at Creighton's last six teams to score 90 or more in a season-opener.

Jays At Home Against Winless Teams
Creighton's opponent on Monday, UMKC, is 0-1 on the season. The Bluejays have won 28 straight home games against teams that are winless entering the night, winning those games by an average of 28.00 points. Fourteen of those wins came by 30 points or more, and only two were decided by single-digits. Three wins came vs. winless UMKC squads.
The streak dates to a 77-70 loss versus an 0-2 SMU team on Dec. 3, 1994. That game was Dana Altman's home debut at Creighton.

Preseason BIG EAST Poll
Creighton was picked to finish third in its first season as BIG EAST Conference members according to a preseason poll of league coaches. Marquette was picked first with 74 points and five first-place votes, while Georgetown (70, 2) was also selected ahead of the Bluejays (61, 1). Rounding out the top half were Villanova (58) and St. John's (56, 2).
Creighton forward

Chasing 3,000
In Major League Baseball, producing 3,000 career hits is something that's been done by just 24 Hall of Famers in history.
Doug McDermott
has a chance to become just the eighth Division I male in NCAA history to score 3,000 or more points.
To help put McDermott's career in perspective, the chart on page six shows how many points McDermott owns and which famous ballplayer that is most comparable to.
Pure Charity
Doug McDermott
made his first two free throws before a miss last Friday, snapping his streak of 28 straight consecutive free throws dating to late last season. The streak began when he made his final three shots in the MVC Tournament vs. Wichita State, and he made all 23 attempts from the charity stripe during the NCAA Tournament.
According to available records, the 28 straight free throws is eight shy of Booker Woodfox's school-record done five seasons ago, and already tied for fourth-longest in Bluejay history.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
Senior forward
Doug McDermott
served as a captain for Team USA last summer at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia. Playing under the direction of coaches Bob McKillop (Davidson), John Beilein (Michigan) and Frank Martin (South Carolina), McDermott led the team in scoring (14.1 ppg.), field goals (39), three-pointers (18), free throws (17), free-throw percentage (.895) and minutes (23.8) as the team went 6-2 in eight games.
On his way back from Russia, McDermott was invited to the USA Basketball Men's National Team Mini-Camp along with 28 of the NBA's rising stars and fellow collegian Marcus Smart (Oklahoma State), where he received rave reviews.
Going For 20, Again
Creighton has won 20 or more games in 14 of the last 15 seasons, a feat that puts the Jays among an exclusive group, nationally.
Just five schools nationally have had 20 or more wins each of the last 15 years: Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas and Syracuse.
Creighton is one of four schools with 20 or more wins in exactly 14 of the past 15 years. That list consists of Creighton, Kent State, Kentucky and Utah State.
That's better than traditional powers Arizona, Connecticut and Memphis (13 each) and also ahead of Michigan State, Pittsburgh and Wisconsin (12 each).
10 Conference Wins x 17
Last season's Creighton team won 10 or more league games for a 17th consecutive season.
On a national basis, the only other current school with at least 17 straight years of 10 or more league wins is Kansas (19).
Each of the last 17 seasons has seen the team finish fourth place or better in the league standings as well, though all of those took place in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Postseason x 16
Creighton has made the postseason in 16 consecutive seasons. The only eight schools to make the postseason in each of the last 16 years are Creighton, Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State and Syracuse.
Postseason Win Streak
Thanks to an NCAA Tournament win over Cincinnati last spring, the Creighton men's basketball team has now won a postseason game in a school-record six straight seasons. The previous mark was three in a row from 1962-64.
The following five programs are the only ones that have won a postseason game in six straight seasons, including 2012-13: Creighton, Kansas, North Carolina, Purdue and Syracuse.
Full House
Last year's Creighton team ranked sixth nationally in average home attendance, averaging 17,155 fans per game. It's the seventh straight season that CU has been among the nation's top 25 in average home attendance, and set an MVC average home attendance record. The figure ranked ahead of 14 NBA teams (76ers, Rockets, Grizzlies, Wizards, Timberwolves, Cavaliers, Suns, Bobcats, Pacers, Hawks, Bucks, Pistons, Pelicans, Kings).
Creighton also ranked sixth nationally in men's soccer attendance and 10th in baseball attendance, the nation's only school in the top-10 of those three sports.

Will Artino
(Waukee), sophomore
Alex Olsen
(Council Bluffs) and freshman
John Burns
Other past notable Iowans include Kyle Korver (Pella), Ryan Sears (Ankeny), Brody Deren (Harlan), Tyler McKinney (Urbandale) and Nate Funk (Sioux City).

Long-Distance Streak Alive
Creighton has made at least one three-pointer in 646 straight games since a 59-53 loss at Illinois State on Feb. 20, 1993.
CenturyLink Center Omaha Success

Familiar Fives
Creighton utilized the same starting line-up all season long in 2012-13, as
Gregory Echenique
Doug McDermott
Grant Gibbs
Jahenns Manigat
Austin Chatman
started all 36 games. All but Echenique return in 2013-14.
Manigat and Gibbs have each started every game since the start of the 2011-12 season, while McDermott has started every game since the start of the 2010-11 season.
Everybody's All-American
Doug McDermott
hauled in All-America honors on a regular basis last year.
He was named a First Team All-American by the Associated Press, NABC, USBWA, Basketball Times, CBSSports.com and ESPN.com, and a second-team selection by The Sporting News. He was also named to the 10-man John R. Wooden Award All-America team.
Prior to McDermott, the only other player honored by the USBWA with All-America status had been second-team selection Kyle Korver in 2003, and the only prior NABC selections from Creighton had been second-teamer Paul Silas (1964) and third-team selections Benoit Benjamin (1985) and Korver (2003).
Oscar, Bird, Doug
Doug McDermott
set a Creighton (and MVC) record for points by a freshman with 581 in 2010-11.
As a sophomore McDermott had 801 points, joining Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird as the only sophomores in MVC history with at least 800 points in a season.
Last year McDermott became the first player in MVC history to reach 2,000 career points as a junior, and joined Robertson and Bird as the only players in league history to reach 2,000 points in less than three seasons of work.
Since 1998-99, McDermott's 2,236 points are 45th-most nationally by any player.

Scoring In Numbers
Doug McDermott
owned 834 points in 36 games last year, an average of 23.2 per contest that ranked him second nationally in scoring.
McDermott's 23.2 points per game ranked fourth-most in CU single-season history and were the most since Bob Portman averaged 26.2 points per game in 1968-69.
Portman, who finished fifth nationally in scoring in 1967-68 (29.5 ppg.), was the only previous Bluejay to ever rank in the top-10 of the year-end scoring leaders, before McDermott did it each of the past two seasons (3rd in 2011-12, 2nd last year).
McDermott's 23.2 points per game were the most by a MVC player since Bradley's Curtis Stuckey (25.1 ppg.) in 1990-91.
Father/Son Duos
According to the website CollegeHoopedia.com,
Doug McDermott
is just the sixth man in NCAA history to be named conference player of the year while playing for his father.
Joining them on that elite list are Dick/Mark Acres (Oral Roberts), Dick/Tony Bennett (UW Green Bay), Homer/Bryce Drew (Valparaiso), Press/Pete Maravich (LSU) and Clifford/C.J. Reed (Bethune-Cookman).
Below is a list compiled by ESPN.com of most points scored by a guy playing for his dad:

Repeat All-American
Doug McDermott
joined some elite company by being named a First Team All-American by the USBWA, Associated Press and the NABC for a second consecutive season last spring.
He is the 70th player to repeat the honor from the USBWA, 55th from the NABC, and 51st in the history of the Associated Press.
If McDermott is named First Team All-American by the AP this year, he'll become the first three-time selection since Patrick Ewing and Wayman Tisdale from 1983-85.
Not Half Bad
Doug McDermott
's highest scoring half of his career has been 31 points, done as a sophomore in the second half at Bradley when he scored a career-best 44 points.
McDermott has scored 15 points or more in a half 45 times during his career, and Creighton is 38-2 in those contests (five times he's scored 15 or more in both halves).
McDermott owns eight halves in his career with 20 or more points, and just six scoreless halves.
The 800 Club
Creighton junior
Doug McDermott
led the nation with 834 points last season after owning a league-high (and second-most nationally) 801 as a sophomore.
McDermott joined Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird as the third player in MVC history with multiple 800-point seasons.
Nationwide, McDermott was the first player with consecutive seasons of 800 points or more since Stephen Curry (Davidson) and Lester Hudson (Tennessee-Martin) in both 2007-08 and 2008-09.
Supporting Cast
Doug McDermott
was Creighton's only player to average in double-figures last year, but he had lots of support to help lead the Jays to 28 wins.
Creighton was 11-0 when
Ethan Wragge
(7.7 ppg.) scored in double-figures last year. CU is 30-1 under
Greg McDermott
and 16-0 last year when Wragge shoots 50 percent from three-point range.
Creighton was 8-1 when
Austin Chatman
(7.4 ppg.) scored in double-figures last year.
Creighton was 6-2 when
Jahenns Manigat
(5.9 ppg.) scored in double-figures last year. CU is now 20-1 all-time when Manigat makes three or more 3-pointers, including 18 straight wins, and the Jays are 22-2 (with 20 straight wins) when Manigat shoots better than 50 percent from 3-point range.
Creighton is 13-0 all-time when
Avery Dingman
(3.7 ppg.) makes multiple three-pointers.
Creighton's won its last 27 games when
Will Artino
(64.6 percent last year) has missed a field goal attempt, and is 32-1 all-time when it happens.
Rare Bird
According to research from STATS Inc., only two men since 1996-97 have compiled at least 2,100 points, 810 rebounds and 150 three-pointers in their career. That list consists of Creighton senior
Doug McDermott
and former Duke national champion Kyle Singler.

His Own Game of H-O-R-S-E
Doug McDermott
led the nation in 2011-12 with 307 field goals made, and his 284 buckets last year once again led the nation.
Prior to McDermott, no player had led the country in field goals made in back-to-back seasons since at least 1995-96.
One area that makes McDermott so unique is his ability to use his off (left) hand, and to use the backboard, as seen below:

Walk-On Earns Rare Start
It's not often that a team starts a walk-on, but
Doug McDermott
isn't your ordinary walk-on, either. McDermott's assignment vs. Alcorn State made him the first Creighton player to start while owning walk-on status since Nick Bahe on Nov. 18, 2006.
Who Will Start?
Creighton utilized the same starting five in every game last season, and four of their five starters had streaks of 71 or more straight starts by year's end.
Creighton was one of two teams to start the same starting five in every game last season, joining Stephen F. Austin.
CU's starting five played together as a group for 424 minutes last season, during which time its outscored the opposition by 129 points.
The four returning starters were +52 in 110 minutes with
Ethan Wragge
last year, and +34 in 44 minutes with
Will Artino
a year ago.

Bruce Rasmussen
began a five-year term on the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee on September 1st.
He is the only newcomer to the committee for the 2013-14 academic year, replacing last year's chair, Mike Bobinski.
Championship Duo, Men & Women
Creighton was one of seven schools that won a regular-season conference title in both men's and women's basketball last year.
That elite group consists of Montana (Big Sky), Akron (Mid-American), Texas Southern (Southwestern Athletic), South Dakota State (Summit), Middle Tennessee (Sun Belt), Gonzaga (West Coast) and Creighton (Missouri Valley).
Pizza Pie, Piled High = Wins
Thanks to a promotion with Omaha-based Godfather's Pizza, Creighton season ticket-holders can get a free mini pizza any time the Jays score 75 points at home.
History has proven that when the team earns the fans pizza, it often leads to a victory as well.
The first three years of CenturyLink Center Omaha (2003-06), Creighton needed 70 points to earn its fans free pizza, and the Jays went 27-3 when reaching that threshold, closing out that run with 12 straight wins.
Since upping the standard to 75 points prior to the 2006-07 campaign, Creighton is a perfect 68-0 when scoring 75 points or more at CenturyLink Center Omaha.
In other words, Creighton is a perfect 80-0 in CenturyLink Center Omaha since Feb. 6, 2005 when scoring enough points to earn its fans some free pizza.
Good As Gold
Greg McDermott
took over three years ago, Creighton is averaging 78.68 points per home game (4,406 points in 56 home games).
That's a vital number since Creighton is 91-0 at home (64-0 at CenturyLink Center Omaha) when scoring 78 points or more and 73-0 at home (50-0 at CenturyLink Center Omaha) when scoring 80 points or more at home dating to a 92-83 loss to Southern Illinois on Feb. 19, 2000.
Last Season Recap
Creighton went 28-8 and reached the third round of the MVC Tournament last season. Creighton was ranked in the Associated Press top-25 in 16-of-20 weeks and finished 22nd in the year-end poll.
Doug McDermott
ranked second nationally in scoring (23.2), breaking his own school-record with 834 points. He repeated as a consensus First Team All-American while also sweeping MVC Player of the Year and MVC Tournament MVP honors for a second straight winter.
Gregory Echenique
(9.7 ppg., 6.6 rpg.) and
Grant Gibbs
(8.5 ppg., 5.8 apg.) were named Honorable-Mention All-Valley, while
Ethan Wragge
nabbed Sixth Man of the Year accolades.
The Jays ranked second nationally in field goal percentage (.501) and three-point percentage (.414), fourth in assists (16.9), sixth in home attendance (17,155) and ninth in free throw percentage (.759).
Creighton defeated Wichita State in the regular-season finale to claim the outright MVC title before winning its league-record 12th Valley Tournament title to clinch an NCAA bid with another win over the Shockers. At the NCAA's, Creighton topped Cincinnati 67-63 before falling to No. 6 Duke in the third round.
Shuttle Service Provided Again
Chief Bus will provide complimentary shuttle service from the Creighton University campus to CenturyLink Center Omaha for all men's basketball home games this season. The service is available to all fans, not just Creighton students.

The three designated stops for pick-up around the CU campus are: 24th & California (nearside/southbound); 20th & Cass (nearside/eastbound) and at Billy Blues Alumni Grill (outside the Mike & Josie Harper Center in the turnaround which is on the east side of the building).
The shuttle will then go eastbound on Capitol Avenue and then go north up 10th Street for drop-off at the CenturyLink Center Omaha convention center entrance. The route is designed for each shuttle driver to make a roundtrip every 15 minutes.
Following the game's conclusion, the shuttle will start at the CenturyLink Center Omaha convention center entrance on 10th Street and loop the original route with the first of three stops at 24th & California Streets.

Fanny-B motorcycles up for auction at Charterhouse
photos courtesy of Charterhouse Auctions
Not exactly a household name here in the U.S., Francis Barnett motorcycles were produced in the U.K. for almost 50 years. Built between 1919 and 1966, Fanny-Bs were two-stroke, single-cylinder scoots propelled by JAP, Blackburne or Villiers engines. They were produced in their own factory in Coventry until the early Sixties, when production was moved to the James factory; James was another small-displacement bike produced by parent company AMC (which also built Matchless, AJS and eventually Norton).
These bikes have developed a cadre of followers among British bike collectors, trials bike enthusiasts and Villiers engine aficionados. Several will be featured at the Charterhouse "Classics at the Castle" Auction on July 17. Each has had some restoration work performed on them, and would require some form of documentation to put them on the street again, but they are certainly collectible nonetheless.
My eye was drawn to the 1954 Fanny-B, above, which looks almost identical to a few James bikes I have seen in the past. The white 1957 Francis Barnett looks funky, with that 3/4-arc rear fender wrapped around the wheel and frame. Also listed for this sale is a 1955 Ford Zephyr Zodiac and a rare 1948 Jowett Bradford CB Van. Among the other classic cars and bikes being offered are a restored 1954 Excelsior scooter (the British-made bike not the U.S. or German version) and a 1971 Puch moped in pink.

The California State University and Southern California Gas Partner to Strengthen Energy Education and Efficiency Through Service and Learning
The CSU/So Cal Gas partnership is supporting ten demonstration projects to expand CSU's efforts to actively engage students in service and learning related to energy, while also building a base of knowledge from which to grow the partnership:
Course Implementation:
Natural Resources: CSU Dominguez Hills
Students in the course Natural Resources are conducting energy audits of campus buildings and providing recommendations to be implemented. Their results will also be shared with the larger community.
Best Practices in Sustainability: CSU Northridge
Students in this course are learning about sustainability by conducting energy assessments of campus units in the areas of energy, waste, water and resource use and practices. Students will prepare reports detailing the assessment findings and outline recommendations to improve energy and water efficiency.
SUSTAIN: Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
One hundred freshman students will partner with sophomore mentors, faculty coaches and community agencies to carry out team-based projects focused on sustainability, energy conservation and energy efficiency. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of energy conservation and efficiency through these experiences.
Curriculum Development:
Construction Management: Fresno State
A working group (learning community) of Fresno State faculty, students, staff and community partners will work closely together to enhance course content by developing and fine-tuning service-learning projects and curriculum related to energy conservation and efficiency within the construction management program.
Future Teachers and Sustainable Energy Education: Cal State LA
Two faculty members from Cal State LA will be developing a course for students in the teacher education program, Using Educational Technology for Sustainable Energy Education. The course, based on educational standards identified by both the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, will provide model curriculum that engages K-12 students, CSU students and future teachers, and community organizations in service-learning activities around energy education and efficiency.
Energy Efficiency in Transportation: Cal State LA
Faculty, students and community partners involved in Cal State LA's EcoCAR2 challenge will educate members of the general public about alternative fuels and energy efficient electric and hybrid cars, while also working with a K-12 school to pilot an outreach initiative in which the K-12 students learn about energy efficiency and transportation and are then trained to teach their families and friends what they have learned.
Creating a Community of Energy Educators: Cal State LA
Educators from schools, museums, and community organizations will come together with nonprofit organizations that focus on environmental and energy education to develop tools, resources, strategies and partnerships to infuse service-learning experiences in environmental and energy education.
Biology: Cal Poly Pomona
Two faculty members from Cal Poly Pomona will develop service-learning curriculum for a biology course, Interpretation of Science, which will enable Cal Poly students to work with K-12 students who visit the Rain Bird BioTrek program and create awareness about energy conservation. Cal Poly students will create high-impact, interactive, and information rich learning experiences for K-12 students and develop portable exhibits that share compelling stories detailing how every individual can help the environment while saving money through energy management and usage patterns.
Engineering: Cal Poly Pomona
A working group of Cal Poly Pomona faculty and community college faculty members will work closely together to create a series of energy efficiency service-learning activities that can be incorporated into "Introduction to Engineering" courses offered at all institutions.
Regenerative Studies: Cal Poly Pomona
Faculty at Cal Poly Pomona will develop service-learning curriculum for a regenerative studies undergraduate course that partners Cal Poly students with students in the Pomona Unified School District to explore strategies for improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions that contribute to climate change and other environmental challenges.

By RICHARD SHAW
An early morning fire in a home in the Castle Heights area took the life of a Price woman on Tuesday morning.
Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont said in an interview later that morning that the department was notified about 2 a.m. that a call had come into dispatch indicating that someone in the house could smell something hot.
"As we (were) en route to the address we got an update that the house was on fire," he said. "When we got here it was burning out of control."
While still under investigation, the fire appears to have started in a back bedroom of the upper floor of the home. Reports came from witnesses that oxygen tanks were exploding during the fire.
"She was on oxygen and there were tanks in the house, but we don't know if we had any explode or not. Some certainly vented during the event however," stated Bedont.
Killed in the fire was Carol Seeley, 68.
Two young girls who were sleeping in the basement escaped from the home through a basement window. They were sent to Castleview Hospital for treatment.
"I am not sure what happened to them; they could have had smoke inhalation," stated Bedont.
The fire basically destroyed the house. Even though one end of it was relatively undamaged by the fire, smoke went everywhere. Fire fighters acted as quickly as they could because they were told someone was in the home.
"I took us about 15 minutes to get the fire knocked down," said the chief.
Tuesday morning the Utah State Fire Marshall's Office was on scene investigating along with Price officials. The state office investigates every fire where a death occurs.
The official cause of the fire has not been determined, but it appears the blaze was accidental. Initial estimates place the damage at $80,000, but it could go higher.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) --Despite the fact that she was paralyzed from the chest down less than five months ago, Carolina Alcalde says she has so much to be thankful for this year.
So three days before Thanksgiving, Carolina joined five other people, all of whom were treated this year at George Washington University Hospital, for Trauma Awareness Day, a day for the hospital's patients and staff to reflect on the many ways that they've touched each others lives.
On June 29th, the night of the Derecho in Washington, Carolina was riding her motorcycle on her way home to Adams Morgan when the powerful storm knocked a tree down right on Carolina's back, and just like that she was left permanently paralyzed.
She spent about a month at GWU Hospital before moving temporarily to Atlanta to be treated at one of the country's most highly-regarded spinal centers. She's now back in the DC-area to spend Thanksgiving with her family but will return to Atlanta in a few weeks for more treatment.
Carolina says her injuries still cause her some pain and discomfort, and she's still very much adjusting to having to get around in a wheelchair but, despite all that, she remains remarkably upbeat, and grateful for everything and everyone in her life.
"I have nothing to complain about, I really don't. I'm grateful just to be alive," Carolina said.
To help defray the costs of Carolina's medical care, her friends and family started a web site, www.campocaro.com, with all kinds of information about her story and links to places where people can give money.

WASHINGTON – You'd think the first clue would have been that no emergency crews were on the scene.
But apparently that detail didn't raise concerns for a Chicago news team when they reported a small plane had crashed on a city road and aired footage of the scene.
Midway through their report, the anchors learn the scene was actually staged for a TV show and admitted their error.

Dorothy B. Reed, a resident of Colville, passed away on August 30, 2011 in Colville at the age of 77. She was born on Dec. 22, 1933 in Dayton, the daughter of John and Myrtle (Tate) Powers.
Dorothy was a mother and grandma to all, whether they were related or not, and loved them the same. She enjoyed country music, fishing, camping, crafts, knitting and huckleberry picking, just to name a few. She enjoyed being around her family and friends, and really enjoyed life to the fullest. One of Dorothy's family traditions was to gather for the holidays and cook for her family and friends. When you were at her home, there was always a spot at the table because everyone was family to her. It was not uncommon to see 30 pies at one time because she wanted to suit everyone's tastes.
Dorothy was a great all-around person with a heart as big as the sky and just as bright with more love than the stars that shine in it. Any time the family or friend smiled, she would shine. When you look at the stars at night, know that Dorothy is smiling down on you…
Dorothy was a jack-of-all-trades and did what she needed to help put food on the table for her family. She worked, from making cedar shakes, truck driving, waitressing, working for Green Giant, bead work, in the asparagus fields and growing a garden. When she was younger, she moved around a lot, always leaving behind memories and friends around the country, and yes, she did enjoy a cold beer now and then. Dorothy did not attend church much, but she had a strong belief in God. She and Jack would always say, "God hears you on the top of a mountain all the same as if you were in a church."
Dorothy was preceded in death by her son and daughter-in-law, John and Leah Reed.
She is survived by her sons, Larry Reed, Colville; Mickey Reed and wife Debbie, Colville; Cary Reed and wife Dale, Sulphur, LA; David Reed, Kettle Falls; and Johnie Reed and wife Chris, Colville; his daughter, Theresa (Curry) Goff and husband Henry, Colville; her step-daughters, Harritta Seitters, Colville; Tammy Powers, Colville; and Clare Best, Orient; her sister, June Adams, Dayton; 27 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Please visit the online memorial and sign the guestbook at www.danekasfuneralchapel.com [1].
The Danekas Funeral Chapel and Crematory in Colville has been entrusted with arrangements.
Mother's Never Really Die, They Just Keep House Up In The Sky.
Death beckoned her with outstretched hand
And whispered softly of "An Unknown Land" –
But she was not afraid to go
For though the path she did not know,
She took Death's Hand without fear,
For He who safely brought her here
Had told her He would lead the way
Into Eternity's Bright Day…
And so she did not go alone
Into the "Valley That's Unknown" –
She gently took Death By The Hand
And journeyed to "The Promised Land"…
And there, with step so light and gay,
She polishes the sun by day
And lights the stars that shine by night
And keeps the moonbeams silvery bright…
For mothers really never die,
They just "Keep House Up In The Sky"…
And in the Heavenly Home Above
They wait to "welcome" those they love.

Reviewer: Neha Vapiwala, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: March 23, 2007
Presenter: Semochkin, S.V.
Presenter's Affiliation: Federal scientific clinical center for pediatric hematology, oncology and immunology, Russia
Type of Session: Scientific
The early response of patients during induction therapy is essential for patient risk-stratification in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and has long been recognized as an important prognosticator. However, there are few data available that specifically look at this feature in adolescents and young adults with ALL who are treated under clinical protocols. The purpose of this study was to assess the predictive value of the early response to therapy in adolescents and young adults with ALL.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The authors provide us with very enlightening data on the various factors influencing the early response to anti-leukemic therapy among adolescent and young adult patients with ALL. They also provide us with additional confirmation as to the significant value of early response to therapy as a prognosticator. Although patients were treated on one of two main chemotherapy protocols, this did not significantly affect the early therapeutic response, nor did patient age or gender. In contrast, the M3 bone marrow status on day 15 and the M2/M3 statuses on days 33 and 36 were strongly predictive of a negative outcome, just as one would expect given that higher percentages of blasts in the marrow at later time points during treatment would not be expected to bode well. Clinicians can thus continue to use early therapeutic response as a guide for determining ultimate prognosis.

Allergy and asthma control begins at home. Many people with allergies stay indoors when outdoor air is full of pollen and spores. But dust mites, animal dander and even cockroaches can cause problems indoors. (Click the image below for a free PDF of tips.)
The EPA recommends three strategies for reducing indoor air pollution:
Controlling sources of pollution,
Ventilating adequately and
Cleaning indoor air.
Eight out of 10 people in the United States are exposed to house dust mites, and six out of 10 are exposed to cat or dog dander. Cockroaches cause allergic reactions among people who live in the inner cities or southern parts of the United States.
Controlling the air quality in your home, office, school and car can reduce allergy and asthma triggers.
What Size Are Allergens?
Allergens are substances that cause allergic reactions and trigger asthma symptoms in some people. Allergen particles are carried in the air, but they will settle onto furniture and floor surfaces. They vary in size and are measured in microns (also called micrometers). The larger the particles, the faster they will settle out of the air. Pollen, dust mite and cockroach debris are larger and settle out of the air more quickly than molds or animal allergens.
Is Indoor Control Possible?
With aggressive cleaning, you can improve indoor air quality and reduce allergy symptoms. First you need to remove the source of as many allergens that you are sensitive to as possible. This includes pets, carpets, overstuffed furniture, stuffed toys, non-encased mattresses and pillows and bedding not washable in hot water. There may be more allergens on surfaces than in the air. Surface allergens can be put into the air easily by disturbing them by sitting or dusting, for example.
Will Air Cleaning Devices Help?
Maybe, but, the best way to improve air quality is to eliminate the sources of pollutants from the home. The next best step is to take measures to avoid and decrease exposure to allergens. Other important measures are to increase the circulation of outdoor air into the home and to reduce the humidity as much as possible.
Reducing humidity decreases dust mite and mold growth. Air conditioners help reduce the humidity as well as prevent the exposure of outdoor allergens. You can reduce the number of outdoor allergens such as pollen and mold from entering the home by keeping windows and doors closed and the air conditioner set on recirculate.

It is a succinct explanation how electrostatic acceleration can be wisely used to achieve a net energy gain from fusion reactions. Wisdom instead of brute force to harness the fusion energy efficiently in order to produce an enormous quantity of clean and safe electric power with no radioactive waste.
It is a brief explanation about a relativistic space propulsion system which uses a lattice/matrix of Phase Displacement Space Drives, producing crisscrossing pattern of Phased Standing Waves, to generate a sequence of spinning waves for causing a FTL moving force, in order to warp spacetime, enabling fast interstellar travel in an energy-efficient way.
It is a brief explanation about an innovative space propulsion system having two EM emitter, phased 0° 90°, and spaced quarter wavelength apart (nλ+ λ/4), creating attraction (contra-phase 180°) and repulsion (in-phase 0°), in order to produce net thrust force in an energy-efficient way, enabling fast interstellar travel.
It is a brief explanation about phase-shifted electrodynamic force (f ≥ c/L) causing electrodynamic drag, and consequently, generating propulsion in the outer space, and perhaps enabling fast interstellar travel.

Minister of Soul, Still Preaching an R&B Gospel
The Rev. Al Green, in a sweep through New York during a recent break from his duties as the pastor at the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Memphis, roared through the Apollo Theater, beaming smiles and booming belly laughs, in a slick black coat, vest, shirt and scarf, a cross and two Stars of David dangling from his gold chains.March 19, 2005 artsNews

Love Is the Topic, Secular and Sacred
Al Green has been a minister at his own church in Memphis since 1976. But if he ever recognized any division between the seductive hits that made him a romantic hero of 1970's soul and the religious songs he has been writing since the late 70's, he has long since traversed it.May 29, 1999 artsReview
Al Green, Inspired, Gets Down to Business
Al Green's 1970's hits proved that he was one of the great soul singers, inspired and unpredictable. His vocals stretch phrases into baroque shapes, turn pauses into reservoirs of tension, or suddenly leap from his maple-cured baritone into an androgynous falsetto. They may break off, too, into a laugh, a grunt, or a joyful wordless whoop.May 22, 1995 artsBiography

Are there different classifications of carcinogens?
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has spent the last 30 years evaluating the cancer-causing potential of more than 900 likely substances and exposures. That research has enabled the IARC to devise a system for classifying carcinogens as follows:
Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans
Group 2A: Probably carcinogenic to humans
Group 2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans
Group 3: Unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans
Group 4: Probably not carcinogenic to humans
Because testing carcinogens is so difficult (it is unethical to test on humans), many of the carcinogens studied by the IARC are classified as being a probable, possible or unknown risk. Slightly more than 100 of the candidates studied by the IARC are classified as Group 1 carcinogens.
It's important to note that, in addition to the IARC rating system, other agencies and groups, including the National Toxicology Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, have developed their own rating systems to determine the cancer-causing potential of certain substances and exposures.
For more information on carcinogens, including a list of known human carcinogens, visit the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA9) -- One Prince George's County woman planned to upgrade her home with a call to a local blinds office. But now, 9 months later, as she laid out in her complaint to the Maryland States Attorney General, she's left without her window treatments and a refund worth thousands of dollars.
So, she reached out to ourWUSA 9 Call For Action team.
Renee Tyler had big plans for her Upper Marlboro home. She wanted to start with her windows, so she contacted the Budget Blinds of Annapolis South office.
"I saw the website and everything, and I'm like they have some nice designs and stuff," says Tyler.
Renee wanted wood shutters, but says the franchise owner - Patrick Ullrich convinced her to go for vinyl or MDF. So, on April 30th she paid Ullrich more than $5,200 for a cheaper version. The next day, she changed her mind, and sent this signed cancellation form by Priority Mail.
The tracking notice confirms that the cancellation notice was delivered May 3, 2012 at 3:45 pm.
"Mr. Ullrich received it within the three days," says Tyler.
That three day period is key, because according to the contract Renee signed, she had three days to change her mind and get a full refund. What'smore, the Federal Trade Commission has what's called a Cooling Off Rule.
That means, if you buy an item in your home, you have the right to cancel that order three days after the sale -- even if you invite the salesperson into your home.
"Based on the information, it just looks like the company has failed to honor their obligation to cancel the order," says Ed Johnson, President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau.
We asked Johnson to review Renee's documents. He saw that Ullrich cashed Renee's check the same day she placed the order.
"If the company took action by ordering the product or cashing the check, they should know that this doesn't become effective until the three day cooling off period has taken place," says Johnson.
At the core of the dispute between Renee and Ullrich - is this handwritten line on the notice of cancellation. It reads: "I would like wood shutters, not MDF, vinyl for kitchen and bath."
"I was explaining why I was cancelling," says Tyler.
But Ullrich disagrees. He says he didn't receive the cancellation notice right away. And, told mediators with the Maryland Consumer Protection Division, the BBB and Call For Action, that he believed the note was a change to the order, not a cancellation.
Instead, he offered to replace the MDF's with the wood shutters. Renee wanted him to honor the cancellation request. The Maryland Consumer Protection Division advised Renee that they were unable to resolve her complaint and that if she wanted to pursue it, she should consider legal action.
We went to Mr. Ullrich's home office for answers.
"Mr.Ullrich, we just want to talk to you about Renee Tyler and her Budget Blinds order," says anchor Lesli Foster, as she knocked on his door.
No one answered the door when we tried to get answers, but someone inside closed the blinds.
Ullrich did eventually call us back - and said he made an offer to Renee's attorney. But it's not the offer Renee wants.
"I would like to be reimbursed, the full reimbursement of my monies as stipulated int he contract," says Tyler.
As she looks around her windows - it's not what she intended to see as she comes out of her kitchen.
After we contacted Mr.Ullrich, Renee received an offer for a full refund. In exchange, she would have to agree to "seek to not have her story air." Renee declined the offer. She wants all of her money refunded with no strings attached.
To protect your investment, consider these steps:
*The Better Business Bureau says before you enter a contract, think twice about paying the full amount up front.
*Think of the rule of thirds. Pay a third when you order, a third midway through, and a third when the job is done.
And, we can't say this enough.
*Do your homework - before you allow a company to come into your home.
If you want our WUSA 9 Call For Action team to help you, call us at 301-652-HELP, or file a complaint here.
