I went to the Wattis Institute at CCA (California College of the Arts, in San Francisco) on Tuesday to see the opening of the latest installment of the "Passengers" exhibition, which seems to have been up for years now without ever losing any of its ungraspability and alterity. Someone must have a map of how "Passengers" works (possibly lean, saturnine supercurator Jens Hoffmann, b. 1974) but as for me, I've never understood it except that it's modular, like the furniture in an old IKEA ad. It's been up so long that now it's known (jocularly?) as the "Exhibition Formerly Known as Passengers." Anyhow there's always something new going on, and this time around it's both new and old at the same time.

Speed is a big part of the equation, but that's only the beginning of the way Formula does things.
The Heart of the Beast
The technology begins with Formula's Advanced Speed, Stability, Structural Technology (FAS³Tech) multi-plane hull. It incorporates three separate running surfaces produced by two steps built into the hull. The "steps" serve to force air under the hull and reduce surface friction for an even faster ride than a boat with a smooth deep-V. Some builders put in one step, but Formula puts in two. This stepped bottom has proven itself by dominating the APBA Factory 2 circuit for several years. Formula has earned several National and World Championships using race-rigged versions of the same performance hull that you can buy in their recreational version.
Here you can see the two steps in the hull that creates the three separate running surfaces.
Limit HP and Don't Sacrifice the Weight
Because Formula doesn't want to strive for the fastest boat, they're free to do two key things: keep the horsepower between 850 and 1400 and add strength to the hull by slightly sacrificing weight savings. Formula adds the strength (and weight) and the amenities. Rather than use a traditional stringer system injected with super light closed-cell foam, Formula utilizes a separately made fiberglass grid system that gets chemically bonded to the hull. The result is a heavier, stronger boat, and that means a more solid riding boat and therefore a safer boat. And yes...slightly slower, but so far no one's complained.
In these three shots, you can see the reason for the added weight in Formula's FAS³Tech's. The first shows the reinforcing grid system suspended over the hull. In the center, the chemical bond is being injected onto the hull. And finally, the two are joined with the strength of one.
And Then There Are the Amenities
The stern features four-across seating. The dual bucket seats are McLeod offshore-style seats that wraparound both operator and navigator for comfort in sustained high-speed operations. Rocker switches on each armrest actuate the electric bolster and the electrically actuated footrest. All seats are treated with Prefixx for easy cleanup. Cabin access is through a centerline companionway.
Since high speed makes it hard to hear, the cockpit is outfitted with four 150W 6 1/2" marine-grade speakers with polished stainless steel grilles and separate tweeters with 1,000 watt amplification plus a 200 watt cockpit subwoofer.
The helm is laid out with Livorsi Monster & Redline backlit gauges. Optional SmartCraft monitor with Vessel View (add $2,240) gets mounted to the top center of the panel and a Garmin GPS just below that (add $1,080). Your right hand will rest comfortably on the Livorsi chromed shifters/throttles with an in-handle outdrive trim switch at your thumb position. The Kenwood waterproof dash-mounted multi-feature stereo remote control is just above the engine controls, and fingertip K-Plane and outdrive trim override switches just ahead of the remote.
The tilt steering wheel is connected to Latham hydraulic steering. And in true Formula fashion, the windshield is framed in stainless steel.
The Cabin
Moving below, the cabin is nicely appointed. Fully forward is a bow berth upholstered in ultra-leather. Just aft is a wraparound lounge/dinette which by lowering the Corian table, can convert to another double berth should you decide to bring another pair of friends to spend the night.
It is hard to see in this photo, but forward of the table and seat back is a double bunk in the bow of the boat. Forward of that is the forepeak and chain locker.
At the aft end of the cabin is an entertainment center with stainless steel sink, Corian countertop and dual voltage refrigerator lies to either side. A 19" (48.26 cm) LCD TV is mounted to the starboard aft bulkhead. The enclosed head is fully aft. The cabin is cooled via the optional reverse cycle air conditioner (add $5,400) that is powered by either the standard shorepower or optional 5.0 KW Kohler generator (add $11,970).
Formula uses the shoe-box deck-to-hull construction design with a chemical bonding material, then the hull and deck are through-bolted together.
Power Options
The base boat is powered by a pair of 425-hp 496 MAG High Output MerCruiser engines attached to B1 outdrives ($377,110). There are six upgrade choices topping out at a pair of Mercury Racing 700-HP SCi NXT1's (add $184,430). If you go with that engine option, then you'll surely want the Mercury Racing X-Haust noise reduction system as well (add $14,185).
You can be from Miami to the gin-clear waters of the Bahamas in less than an hour in the Formula 382.
While still addressing the need for speed, Formula also managed to squeeze in creature comforts that are not found on some competing brands. In this manner, Formula is managing to fill a niche market with a go-fast boat that has a comfortable and classy side, as well as much brute force that you want up to 1400-hp. It's a "have your cake and eat it too" boat that will be around for a long time. At least long enough for Formula to feel at ease by standing behind the boat with a 10-year structural warranty.
And in case you were wondering, yes, the Formula 382 is a certified babe magnet.
All high-performance boats are not the same. Some are built in a rented bay in an industrial park by enthusiasts who were somewhere else yesterday and will be gone tomorrow. They have virtually no overhead, do not follow ABYC standards, are not NMMA certified and will often disappear at the first sign of a lawsuit. That is why when buying any boat, much less a high-performance vessel, you should go with an established company such as Formula.
And, let's face it – these boats can be dangerous, because speed can be dangerous. If you think you are ready to move up into the rarified atmosphere of a high performance boat, and you can afford it, then our recommendation is that you go with a brand whose management and culture is dedicated to safety as well as speed. Formula is one such company.

J.R.'s Starks-Like Performance
"For the first three quarters of last night's Knicks game against the Orlando Magic, the Knicks were almost a parody of the team most of their detractors spent the summer mocking them for being. They were bewilderingly lazy on offense — that ball movement that marked the first four wins was nonexistent — they were slow on defensive rotations, and they generally looked like a team that was too old and too bored to be bothered. In the fourth quarter, they turned all that around, but that team everyone was afraid would show up this year did, at least for a while, arrive."
Tommy DeeWe talked about this at great length yesterday in terms of needing energy. This was an easy one to predict. Warm weather, a few off days and probably a round of golf sandwiched in… the Knicks were going to be sluggish. And age has something to do with that. But that's where J.R. Smith's buzzing energy was critically needed. And it was delivered big time in the 3rd quarter after a snooze-fest of a first half.
This is what John Starks would do. Instant energy, good or bad. I laugh at people who put Starks on this pedestal and scoff at J.R.'s limitations. Why? Because Starks was incredibly limited as a player. Starks, by the way, started just 420 of his 866 NBA game career. As a Knick, he started just 255 of his 491. But he played like his next meal depended on it. He was J.R. before J.R. and all he was looking for was a home and a place to be loved. He still gets that when he walks in the Garden. J.R., you can tell, wants the same thing. He's a great kid and an incredible talent. I think that this is Smith's homecoming and that he's ready to have the best season of his career under the guidance of Woodson and the warmth from you, the fans. He plays hard, he plays tough and he's exciting. He also makes want to throw up sometimes.
Older Knicks fans, that description sounds like Starks, no?
It also sounds like what it means to be a Knick. The former anyway.
The Knicks needed J.R. last night and he delivered. That's what great players and great 6th men do.
He's quickly becoming a fan favorite.

Where From Here?
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
This morning there's a lot of discussion in the New York papers about what went wrong and whether or not the people that the Jets have inside the offices at Florham Park are the right ones for the job to get things turned around.
There's a lot of really good thoughts thrown into them that are all worth consideration.
Newsday: 'Football people' not connected with Jets don't favor ax falling on GM Mike Tannenbaum
NJ.com: Even experts say fixing the Jets will be a huge task
NYDN: Sunday Morning Quarterback: NY Jets owner Woody Johnson, coach Rex Ryan are made for each other
NY Post: Jets season finishes today, then the real action begins
There's good stuff in there … that many former recent GMs around the league have a lot of respect for Mike Tannenbaum, that the David Harris contract was probably a mistake too in retrospect, that the Jets have not prioritized getting a pass rusher … there's tons of good stuff in all the articles.
I'm not about to propose a master solution that's going to fix all the problems, things are going to start working themselves out very soon anyway which would invalidate whatever I would write. Of course, the problem is that the Jets need to make some major changes and they are already stuck with their 2013 monies based on some poor past decisions. But what I will say is that Woody Johnson would be wise to strike the right balance of identifying and fixing the problem areas, and fixing them as best to his abilities. Woody talks all the time about wanting to win a Super Bowl and that's fine, but continuity with the competent people already in the building is going to HAVE TO be a key factor in doing so. That said, keeping people around who were in positions of great authority is going to be a very hard sell to anyone who was outside the organization and is looking to come to take the job … it could be a career killer for them. Woody has done some of this "turn off candidates too early" stuff before (like he did with Cowher), let's see if he's learning from his mistakes …

Those that came before today's generation made Carbon County their home for a myriad of reasons. Some were seeking solitude and isolation. Some came with family. Some came for religious reasons. Others pursued economic opportunities.
For whatever the reason, they ended up here in Carbon County. And some of them left traces on the landscape that can still be seen today.
These traces serve as a quiet and lonely reminder of our predecessors who helped make Carbon County what it is today.
Today's inhabitants owe it to them to preserve and protect these historical landmarks that were once part of their daily lives.

Matt McCormick debated Russell DiSilvestro on the Resurrection
The basis for Dr. McCormick's opening statement can be found here.
I thought Matt did a fine job. I liked his approach that we should be very suspect of the historical data that we have rec'd. It had to pass through so many hurdles to get to us and each time it could be changed and no doubt was. As he said, even if you assume 80% got through each transistion in tact, that would leave us with 40% certainty today. I would say bump it up to 90% and that still leaves us with less than a 50-50 chance that the data we have today is reliable.
I also liked his illustration in which he asked the audience: "How would you like to be on trial for murder and the two witnesses that are brought up to testify against you say, 'I was walking down the road and saw a bright light in the sky and heard a voice telling me that the defendant committed the murder.' The second says: "I heard from a person who heard from another person who heard from another person that the defendant committed the crime."
What chance do you think the defendant would have of being convicted?
A civil, street-level debate which us non-philosophers can understand. I think a completely neutral listener would think that Matt McCormick won the debate. The argument about being on trial for murder and using the evidence of hearsay witnesses was devastating, since christians love to use the courtroom and evidence analogy so much!
The argument that DeSilvestro used about the actual contradictions (which he didn't deny were there) in the NT accounts being an argument in FAVOR of their factual historicity, made me laugh. I used that same logic years ago when I was a christian, and it makes me cringe. Such narrative contradictions blow the inerrancy belief out of the water, but it doesn't much damage the belief that the story of Jesus is very powerful and can still be used as the foundation of a religion, however little based on historical fact it might be.
I don't have audio to listen to this, but I read the link to Matt's blog. All I have to say is that Matt has a valid point if he indeed is trying to argue against the jesus idol -- that would be the manmade version of jesus - the one that might have said, "You must rely solely on hand-me-down information because after I die that is all that is going to remain of me because I intend to be an historical figure." Since that idol ought to be debunked, I fully agree that Matt has a good approach towards this issue.
Yes, there is oral tradition (Jesus, afterall, said to share the good news) but it is intended to provoke/inspire a relationship with God, not as an historical figure, but a very real presence in our everyday lives.
Scooterwes said, "I used that same logic years ago when I was a christian, and it makes me cringe."
The thing about the variation of eyewitness accounts is that it is authentic and evidenced in reality. The main message remains incorruptible about the nature of God and that is that we do not sacrifice to Him but He is willing to sacrifice for us in order to put this appeasement practice/vision down.
Thanks for the comment, guys. And thanks John for linking the debate.
A clarification on the probabilities. All other things being equal, a chain of transmissions with 5 links and .8 fidelity in each one means that any given piece of data going through the system has only a .32 chance of getting out the other side. I didn't complete this thought at the debate, but here's the real kicker. The Lourdes, France example shows us that at best people are reliable only 1/100,000 or 1/1,000,000 or even 1/10,000,000 in the cases where they claim that they have witnessed miracles. Lourdes (and lots of other cases) shows us that people are really, really unreliable at reporting miracles. So that means at a minimum, the number that we put at the front of this string of multipliers in the transmission question isn't a .8. It's more like .000001. Then you have to multiply again and again for each of the stages of transmission. This is a silly exercise, of course, but what it does show is that the information that we have about the resurrection is ORDERS of MAGNITUDE smaller than it needs to be for us to even get to the .5, suspending judgment, level about it.

And this post for elaborations:
Putting Odds on Jesus
Thanks again Ken.

The setting of this debate causes me to cringe. I only came to practice christianity within the mega-church movement of the early nineties and the friendly-hipster persona of the youth minister is the kind of marketing I fell for. Simply personal commentary on my own shallow intellect (in arguably a time of great emotional need).

CANTON While St. Lawrence Universitys top line has been receiving many of the early-season accolades and rightfully so, the Saints success thus far this season can also be attributed to team balance.
One group that exemplifies this balance is St. Lawrences second line of junior wingers Patrick Doherty and Gunnar Hughes and sophomore center Brian Ward.
You get a little bit of everything there, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said. Pat brings a lot of speed to that line, Gunnar really grinds it out and Brian Ward has been great for us. All three of those guys have good hockey sense so they can play in all situations, and they can play against any kind of line whether its a skill line or a gritty kind of line. Theyre very versatile.
St. Lawrence (6-2-2), which is 2-0-2 in ECAC Hockey play, is off to its best start in the conference since a 4-0 mark in the 2006-07 campaign and its best in a season since 2005-06 when it started 7-3-0.
Its been really good, Doherty said of the start. And every game counts like last year when we finished a point out of getting a first-round bye. Its good to get points early and the guys are excited about our start.
The Saints, on the strength of wins at Harvard and Dartmouth last week, are ranked No. 17 in the nation in the USCHO.com poll the first time theyve cracked the national rankings since early last season.
St. Lawrence will continue conference play, hosting Colgate and Cornell tonight and Saturday, both 7 p.m. starts at Appleton Arena.
Doherty had a breakout weekend highlighted by a four-point night in an 8-5 victory at Dartmouth on Saturday.
I think that was important, Doherty said of the win against Dartmouth. Youve got to find different ways to win and thats what we did. Knowing that there are different ways goes a long way down the road no matter what kind of game were in we know we have a chance.
We went through a little bit of a slump there, but weve been playing well, he added. We just keep telling each other to stick to the system and good things will happen and Saturday it paid off for us. I think weve been playing well on both ends of the ice.
Doherty also scored his first short-handed goal of the season on a breakaway, and it couldnt have come at a more opportune time against the Big Green.
We needed that, Carvel said. We took a major penalty and they scored about 10 seconds into their power play. About halfway through that major, it was real good anticipation by Pat to intercept that pass and go in with a real good finish. That line scored four goals that night, as did the Carey line.
The Saints second line totaled nine points overall, including four goals, against Dartmouth, including two goals and an assist from Hughes, and a pair of assists from Ward.
All three us play on the power play and on the penalty kill, Doherty said. I think all three of us can play down low, we can all play a skill game, which makes it great in the D-zone, we can play against the top line or the third line.
The contribution of the Doherty-Ward-Hughes line has helped take the pressure off the Saints top line of senior Greg Carey, junior Chris Martin and freshman Matt Carey.
Over the weekend we had two lines really going well, Carvel said. Thats a big plus at this level and now well see if we can get a third unit that can give us offense consistently.
Greg Carey, who leads the nation in points (19) and assists (13) and ranks second in points per game (1.90), was selected as ECAC Hockeys player of the week, while Matt Carey (8-5-13), who recorded his first collegiate hat trick at Dartmouth, was named league rookie of the week.
Along with Martin on the right side, the line combined to post seven points, including four goals, against Dartmouth after compiling six points at Harvard.
While these guys have done very well, I think Chris Martin is kind of the missing link to this line, Carvel said. He brings a lot of energy and he plays really hard he get pucks in and he works hard to get pucks back and get possession down low. Hes a good forechecker and is just a tough player to play against. His game has really come a long way.
St. Lawrences offensive surge on Saturday represents its largest output since the 2008-09 campaign, when the Saints thumped Cornell, 8-1, on Jan. 30, 2009.
Conversely, the Saints have allowed more than three goals four times in 10 games this season, faring 2-2 in those outings. Theyre also tied for the leagues scoring lead (4.25 goals a game), but stand seventh in defense (3.0 goals allowed).
The more often we get that well be in good shape, Carvel said of the eight-goal night. But then again, we let up five goals. Weve got to continue to work on tightening our game.
This weekends pair of games represents St. Lawrences lone homestand in November.
The Saints opened league play with a road swing through New England, which included 3-3 ties at Yale and Brown on Nov. 1-2.
Next weekend, St. Lawrence plays two games at Rochester Institute of Technology before traveling Thanksgiving week for a pair of games at North Dakota on Nov. 29 and 30.

Pyramid operations continue to surface across the state and the Utah Division of Consumer Protections cautions Carbon County residents to avoid falling victim to the schemes.
Pyramid schemes are unlawful money-making ventures, pointed out the consumer protection division.
The schemes focus on the exchange of money and recruitment of participants. Usually, there is no legitimate product being sold.
Pyramid schemes may be disguised as gift clubs, games, chain letters, buying clubs, motivational companies, mail order operations or investment organizations.
Basically, a pyramid scheme is formed when a single promoter or small group collects money from a certain number of friends and instructs the participants to collect additional cash from their associates.
The cycle continues and, as the operation grows, the number of people involved becomes too large to sustain the pyramid.
Some people will fail to send in money or recruit the required number of friends and the pyramid crumbles.
The majority of the participants end up on the bottom of the pyramid and inevitably lose the so-called initial "investments."
In order for all levels in pyramid scheme to profit, there would have to be an unending supply of participants.
But the supplies are limited, with newer participants having less of a chance of recruiting people and facing a greater risk of losing money.
Because pyramid sales plans are deceptive by nature, the schemes are illegal.
Participants face the risk that a pyramid operation will be closed down by police, with the involved parties subject to fines and possible criminal prosecution.
Few people would pay to join a pyramid scheme if the odds were fully and accurately explained.
Pyramid schemes are actually based on simple mathematics. Many losers pay a few winners.
Pyramid promoters are masters of group psychology.
At recruiting meetings, the promoters create a frenzied, enthusiastic atmosphere where group pressure and promises of easy money play upon greed and the fear of missing a good deal.
The sale of legitimate products distinguishes multi-level marketing operations from pyramids, pointed out the consumer protection division.
If the emphasis in a multi-level marketing company is to build a sales force rather than sell the business' products, it may be

Hot Springs, AR (Sports Network) - T.J. Price scored a game-high 24 points and had the game-winning layup to lead the sixth-seed Western Kentucky Hilltoppers into the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title game with a 58-56 win over the second-seed Arkansas State Red Wolves in the semifinals at Summit Arena.
Brandon Harris added 11 points off the bench for Western Kentucky (19-15) which will take on fourth-seed FIU in Monday's championship game.
Trey Finn and Brandon Peterson each scored 10 points with Peterson also collecting 12 rebounds for Arkansas State (19-12).
At half the Hilltoppers had a slim 28-26 lead after shooting just 31.3 percent from the field while the Red Wolves recorded just eight field goals on 12 fewer shot attempts.
After the break the Hilltoppers shot at a 40 percent clip and hit 13-of-15 shots from the free-throw line but found themselves trailing 56-55 with under a minute to play. Price collected a steal with 19 seconds remaining and went the other way to sink a a layup that proved to be the deciding blow.
Arkansas State was guilty of a game-high 18 turnovers. Western Kentucky outscored the Red Wolves, 22-16, in the paint.

NEWPORT, VT - Scott Britch and his son Justin call it a day of ice fishing on South Bay on Lake Memphremagog. Scott said he started fishing when he was five years old – over 40 years ago.Â
"My grandfather use to fish off the Long Bridge," he recalls.Â
The pair are fishing for perch and at some point during the season will fish for Northern Pike.Â
Ice conditions were not as good Saturday as they were three weeks ago, according to Scott, "There was 1 1/2 inches of black ice. It was better than it is now. There's 4 inches of ice now, but it's bad, white ice, it's not safe."Â
An attempt by another party to drag an ice shanty onto South Bay on Saturday resulted in a shortened day for Scott and Justin. The shanty cracked the ice and flooded the area where the they were fishing.
"There's a couple of inches of water on top of the ice; you get nervous," admits Britch. "You have to know when it's safe to put a shack on the ice."

The blonde bombshell looks amazing in the role of cheating homemaker in her latest photo shoot for V Magazine. In the '60s inspired spread, the beauty sports big hair, minimal makeup and revealing, retro clothing.
It's definitely a side we haven't seen of the 20-year-old!
Even photographer Sebastian Faena said that Kate seemed more like an actress rather than a model during the shoot, where she portrays a picture perfect wife being caught in a extramarital love affair.
Of course Upton's assets are on full display, donning various curve-hugging couture and lingerie for the mag. We definitely have to give the swimsuit stunner props -- not many models can make the move from swimwear to high fashion!
Check out all the photos from her sexy shoot in the gallery above and make sure to pick up a copy of the 2013 Spring Preview issue of V Magazine V81!

As high schoolers head off to college for the first time, there is a mix of nerves and excitement in the air. Here are some things to be successful in that first year of post high school education.
Get involved. Studies show that students who are happiest at school are those who get involved on campus. So pick a club or activity that fits your style.
Try new things. You will be meeting lots of new people from different cultures and with different experience than you have had. Be open to the diversity on campus.
Live on campus. If you can, live in the residence halls. It will be a great opportunity for you to gain the full college experience. Much of the learning you will do will be outside of the classroom.
Make new friends but keep the old ones too. As the Girl Scouts sing, "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other's gold." Keep in touch with your family and friends back home, but also reach out to new people on campus.
Take care of yourself. The all-nighters and pizza are fun, but make sure you do get some sleep and some exercise in. You can be fun and healthy at the same time; try intramural sports on campus or the kickbox aerobic class at the gym.
Don't take on too much. Although it is important to get involved, if you are a natural leader and doer, do not get over involved. If you take on too many things you will not be able to do any of them very well.
Be an adult. You are on your own now - which is cool and scary. Try new things, but also realize that you are responsible for your actions. Be respectful of others and be safe!
Have fun! This will undoubtedly be some of the most memorable years of your life - live it up!

I can almost say for sure that MEM will not be a delta hum... All it will be is an outstation if that.
Rumors abound that several others are looking at it though, and a lot may depend on the final outcome of both AMR and Pinnacle BR's
South west is a possibility, but I hate to see them taking it over... I do not see that as a good time.
I haven't heard their name mentioned and I thing they would be doubtful, what with KDAL and KSTL, and though while not a hub, they have a large prescence. Truthfully, I am hearing US mentioned more than anybody, that dependent on what happens with AMR and that they are getting unhappy with Mesa, which will give an opportunity for your bunch but that is causing a wait and see as well. That would line them up right across the middle with ya'll doing the regional. Heard that one day this past week. More if I hear.
Actually, I have heard them very strongly mention... I hate to say it, but I worked with them for a period of time in MDW... BAD NEWS.
Well, I don't disagree with you. I'm just sayin' what I've heard. The only good thing if it came to pass, you would not be working for them, although depending on the contract, it might be the same.lol
I thought you worked for them at KROA, or was that Piedmont before they sold to US?

""Individual's are a ""5""; 10-pack is a ""0""!""
Ordered the 10-pack after supposedly confirming with Jeffers that they were individually wrapped - they are NOT! I had tried to individual which is shrink wrapped, and GREAT. Even contacted Jeffers to confirm, but NOT! 10-pack in LOUSY box, not sealed, half the bones are broken into pieces and a mess of small bits and pieces. Unless you are going to use them all at once, NOT a good deal. To Jeffers credit, they replaced with shink-wrapped ones since they had told me they were.
"Fantastic (and bonus knuckles!)"
Best bone for a BIG (80+pound) puppy! Holds up to a vigorous chewer and the 15 pound pug loves to chew on the knuckle bone portion--a good time for the whole dog family :)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla -- 30 million Americans are affected by rare diseases and most are so rare that there is no treatment available.
That's the story of one local woman who is raising awareness after her son was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.
"It was so difficult because we understood there was something occurring that the physicians were perplexed as well," said Cynthia Gist.
Cynthia Gist was a nurse practitioner for 35 years and could not figure out what was happening to her son. Doctors diagnosed his condition as psoriasis, a common disease that causes redness and irritation of the skin, but her son wasn't responding to treatment.
"The way the skin lesions had spread argued for the most part against the diagnosis of psoriasis," said Gist.
That's when Gist started her own research and got doctors to test her son for a handful of rare diseases.
"The results came back positive for cutaneous t-cell lymphoma which is a blood cancer and not a skin disease," said Gist.
At age 28, he had a rare type of cancer with no cure and not a lot of information on treatment was available. That's where raredisease.orgcame into play and Gist found a wealth of information to lead her to doctors who could work with her son.
Her son is now 30, living in Miami with his wife and kids and stable, but treatment is not very effective, that's why Gist is trying to raise awareness by organizing an event in Jacksonville on Rare Disease Day.
A Rare Disease Day event will be heldat The Landing in Downtown Jacksonville from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, February 28th.

Speaking at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament in Geneva on February 19, North Korean diplomat Jon Yong Ryong threatened South Korea with "final destruction."
A transcript of the conference posted by the United Nations Office at Geneva recorded that "The Republic of [South] Korea reiterated the call on Democratic People's Republic of Korea to suspend nuclear tests and its nuclear programme" in response to the North's third nuclear test conducted on February 12.
Recording the North's response to the South Korean statement, the transcript notes:
Democratic People's Republic of Korea, responding to the comments made by the Republic of Korea, said that as it had been declared on many occasions, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea had never recognised the resolutions concerning sanctions by the United Nations Security Council and, as the saying went, a new born puppy knows no fear of a tiger. "South Korea's erratic behaviour would only herald its final destruction."
Firing back, the South Korean diplomat reprimanded the North for expending "enormous" resources to its nuclear program while food shortages existed in the communist state. Furthermore, charged the spokesman from the South, North Korea "continued to request humanitarian assistance." Therefore, South Korea urged the North to "focus on improving the living situation of its people and to halt its nuclear and ballistic programs."
Reuters news reported that Jon's statements provoked swift reactions from diplomats from other nations, including the UK's Permanent Representative to the UN Disarmament Conference, Joanne Adamson, who called the North Korean's language "completely inappropriate."
"It cannot be allowed that we have expressions which refer to the possible destruction of U.N. member states," said Adamson.

Video: Donna Betts talks about nonprofit organization Family Hope
SCARBOROUGH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- When Donna Betts' son took his own life at the age of 23, she was devastated.
"My oldest son, Josh, developed depression, and that went really fast," she recounted. "Within a matter of 6 months, he had died from suicide."
"I remember before he died, oh my gosh, I knew something was wrong and I just... I tried calling and getting doctors appointments and he didn't have insurance and they didn't let me make appointments."
"Right after Josh died... it was horrendous," she admitted. "I had such a hard time seeing families with little children. I just, I couldn't deal with it. I was just thinking, oh my god, look at all these little kids, which one is going to grow up and kill themselves?"
Betts had to put on a brave face in those dark days, as she struggled to seek help for her youngest son, Luke, who was diagnosed as bi-polar when he was 15.
"It was a nightmare trying to find help for him. I didn't know where to go. I didn't know he was ill," explained Betts. "We tried counselors and treatment programs and I just felt like I was hanging out there."
That desperation, dealing with what she describes as a fractured mental health system, while acting as a mother, counselor and health care provider for her family lead Betts to create a new nonprofit organization, Family Hope, designed to help families find the services and support they need for their loved ones dealing with mental illnesses.
"Family Hope is a resource connection for people who care about someone with mental illness," she explained. "There are a lot of resources out there, so I found after Josh died, that there was help out there for me at that time, I just didn't know about it."
Using her knowledge from years spent fighting to help her family, and the connections she has made with mental health professionals and organizations, Betts has created a website and helpline that act as a starting point for people who know they need help, but do not know where to find it.
"A lot of times, family members don't know what they need," said Betts. "So if you don't know what type of service you need, how do you know who to call?"
"Family members are asked to do a really hard job, with very little training and no support," stated Creighton Taylor, a volunteer mental health awareness advocate.
"If somebody had had open heart surgery, you would certainly come home with just a sheet of instructions, like if the area is red and warm it means you might need to go see the doctor," she explained. "Well, we don't get any instructions, and often our loved ones are still ill and can be hallucinating or having delusions or psychotic; and I didn't learn how to speak psychotic. No one ever taught me that language and it is a very subtle, nuanced language."
Taylor, who has experienced the triumphs and tribulations that come with having a loved one with mental illness herself, believes Family Hope will help provide direction for people lost in the mental health care system.
"I want to see families get the support and training they need to do the incredibly difficult job that we are asked to do," she said. "I know a lot of these families they are just frantic, and worried and concerned and scared, and they have no where to turn, they don't know how to get help, and that is why Family Hope is such a great resource."
In addition to providing information about resources available to help them, Family Hope also has a section to help provide words of encouragement and support from others who have fought the same battles, something Creighton Taylor says was missing when she sought help for her family member.
"I really didn't think there was any hope. I thought our family's life was over. I certainly thought that my children's lives were over in many ways. The hopes and dreams that we had for them were just shattered," she recalled. "I mean it was a different world we were entering, and nobody said to me, recovery is possible, nobody said to me don't give up hope."
"I don't want another family to go through what we went through," said Betts, who admits her son Luke is still struggles every day to deal with his mental illness. "With Family Hope, our efforts are three pronged; educate, encourage and guide. That is all we want to do, is help families."
Betts says Family Hope is an organization dedicated to helping families find resources, and is not a service provider or designed to help people in crisis. You can contact them at 207-396-4313 if you need help finding programs or information.
If you're afraid your loved one is thinking about suicide or you want to talk to someone NOW:
•Call the Maine Mental Health Crisis Hotline at 1-888-568-1112 to connect to your closest crisis center for professional guidance, follow-up care and support.
•Or, for a Maine emergency, call 911 and tell them it's a mental health concern. Provide the diagnosis (if you have it) and tell them whether or not you've called the Maine Crisis Hotline.

An Adams Center native who is a drum instructor at School of Rock in Fairfax, Calif., will be seen and heard Sunday on the premiere episode of The Tim Ferriss Experiment on HLN cable network.
Adam J. Timmerman, a 2005 graduate of South Jefferson Central School District, met members of the band Foreigner as part of the Experiment.
The show is just one example of the success Mr. Timmerman has ran into since he moved to California in 2009 after graduating that year from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Ive been very fortunate, Mr. Timmerman said in a phone interview from his home just outside of Sherman Oaks, Calif. Things have sort of aligned at certain times and worked out. I thank my lucky stars every day.
Mr. Timmerman is a member of the Los Angeles-based band Cosmic Sucker Punch, which in October performed at the Life is Beautiful music and arts festival in Las Vegas. Bands such as Vampire Weekend, Kings of Leon and the Killers also performed at the festival.
Producers of The Tim Ferriss Experiment contacted School of Rock looking for a drum instructor to work with Mr. Ferriss, an entrepreneur best known for his rapid-learning techniques. Ferriss is the author of The 4-Hour Workweek, The 4-Hour Chef and The 4-Hour Body. His new TV show reflects his fast-learning concept.
He picks a task for a week and throws himself into it to prove that if you put yourself into something with different ways of thinking about it, you can accomplish it and be good at it, Mr. Timmerman said. For his first episode, his challenge was to learn to play drums.
Mr. Ferrisss specific drumming task was to learn the song Hot Blooded and play it at a concert with the band Foreigner. The song was a hit for the band in 1978.
I spent like five or six hours a day with him, mostly on camera, but I dont know how much of it will make it on TV, Mr. Timmerman said. Its a half-hour show.
Mr. Timmerman said that Mr. Ferriss also had a mentor, Stewart Copeland, drummer for The Police. Mr. Timmerman didnt get a chance to meet Mr. Copeland, but he said he was star-struck in another way.
Chris Frazier, the drummer from Foreigner, was in one day, Mr. Timmerman said. We got talking and he actually compared me to Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters. I love the Foo Fighters. That was a huge compliment.
Then, Mr. Frazier sat down at Mr. Timmermans drum set.
It was kind of a surreal experience, Mr. Timmerman said. If you see it on TV, they kind of push me into the frame because I looked kind of doe-eyed. I was in shock that Chris Frazier was playing my drum set.
a passion for the drums
Mr. Timmerman, son of Martin J. Timmerman of Adams Center and Tina Schell of Lowville, began playing drums at 8 and eventually played in school bands and orchestras at South Jefferson Central School. He and classmates created the three-piece punk band Honorable Mention, which performed in the Watertown area. Aaron Lalone was the bassist and at different times, Joshua Weise and Kiel Castle were the bands guitar players.
Mr. Timmerman said they got the idea to start the band in Thomas LeClairs music class.
We played places like Club 342 and Shooties (bar), Mr. Timmerman said. There was one venue we played at we were like 16 and there were beer pools on the floor. It was the weirdest experience for us. My drum set was sitting in a puddle of beer.
Mr. Timmerman packed up his belongings in late 2009 and drove across the country to California, following the advice of a music instructor at Berklee who told him there were three main places in the U.S. to succeed as a professional musician: New York City, Nashville and California.
Ive wanted to be out here since I was 8 years old, Mr. Timmerman said. I love the state and the weather. Its one of the last places where you can pursue music and make something of it.
Hes had some lucky breaks along the way.
His first job in the Los Angeles area was working in retail management. His sister, Amanda Werchinski, moved to California with him, but after a few months she decided to move back east. Mr. Timmerman was tasked with selling her car.
In a conversation with the person to whom he was selling the car, the buyer noted he had some friends who were looking for a drummer for their band.
I gave him my phone number and a few hours later, I got a call saying, Can you come in two days and audition? Mr. Timmerman said. They called me back within an hour of the audition and said they wanted me as their drummer.
Mr. Timmerman said he and the other three members in the band Cosmic Sucker Punch were a fit from the get-go. The band describes its music as classic psych rock with a Rolling Stones-like swagger.
We had similar music interests, Mr. Timmerman said. The stars aligned in a weird way of finding an audition.
school of rock break
Mr. Timmermans persistent nature paid off when he got a break at School of Rock. He often contacted the school for openings.
I went to the School of Rock in Burbank again, about a year ago, and I talked to the person who was sitting in the front lobby, Mr. Timmerman said. He happened to be their drum teacher.
That teacher was about to go on tour and he told Mr. Timmerman that he needed a substitute.
I took over for him substituting, Mr. Timmerman said.
When the Fairfax School of Rock opened in February, Mr. Timmerman was hired as a full-time drum instructor. And because he also manages a house band at the school, he has the title of senior instructor.
I love my teaching job, Mr. Timmerman said. The kids are very talented. They are super musicians and great kids to work with.
Mr. Timmerman said his own skills also have improved through his teaching.
I have to think on my feet a lot as a musician and use my theory from Berklee, he said. Its fun. Its the best job I could have asked for.
Things have sort of aligned at certain times and worked out. I thank my lucky stars every day.

The answers are terrible, too. It's all emotional feel good crap. The fact of the matter is that the 14th ammendment and subsequent case law has held that anyone born in the US is a citizen, including anchor babies. In the original debate over the 14th ammendment, the sponsoring senator argued that they would be excluded, but the language was never put in to enforce the exclusion.
This question is rediculous. It's like asking if you think people should be allowed to own guns. It's in the constitution. Congress can't just all of the sudden decide to ban gun ownership. They don't have that power. Of course, this Congress seems to know no limits to its power. They act as if the constitution doesn't exist.
Having just joined the AL, I have to wonder why this organization is getting into whether the constitutional provision regarding who should be citizens needs to be changed. I thought this organization's intent was to work for veteran's and veteran's benefits.
I thought one of the pillars of the AL was "to uphold and defend the constitution", which includes who is a citizen - at least that was the oath I swore when I was commissioned.
The newer Comrade wanted to know why the American Legion cares - We are for God and Country - yes we are for Veterans, however, that also covers keeping our country well and cared for in the process. It was politicians that chanced to law about citizenship, somewhere back in LBJ time in office, to help, who knows what. This change has not helped the country or its individual states. It has only caused much of the country to be divided. While we at the local level do not get involved in politics, National can from their location see, hear and decide what is in the best interest of its VETERAN MEMBERSHIP and then lay out actions to take. I for one want more people to know what the Founding Fathers wrote in that great Consitution and undertand it when they that oath he mentioned. I'd like to see every high school have to have a class on the Constitution required to gradute!
I agree with alanmoor. The constitution says U.S. born persons are citizens of the U.S. Congress should go back and read all of the Constitution not just the parts they want to try and change (which by the way they can not do). Where would they be if their ancestors had not imigrated to this country? Just because their ancestors go way back doesn't mean the newer immigrants (legal or illegal) should be discriminated against regarding the issue of U.S. Citinzenship. Also the American Legion exists because of those citizens who fought for this country. Most of their ancestors were also immigrants. Do we know or care whether or not they were legal immigrants?
I'm finding it difficult to be in the American Legion anymore. This question is skewed to the "right". I see a lot of conservative views and the Legion is leaning WAY over to the Right.
I'm a member and a Volunteer Service Officer. I am here to help the Vets, not determine whether an illegal alien's child should have a right to be a citizen. Haven't we done enough to the Constitution? My right to freedom used to be guaranteed by the Constitution. At this point, the Constitution is just a list of guidelines.
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Ben Franklin
Those that immagrated here that were LEGAL were the ones who fought and bled for Amercia, these women who come here and drop babies at our expense, then apply for welfare and other benefits that we as tax payers pay with our hard work. what money they get goes back to mexico in money orders. If you feel this is the right thing to do then you are in the wrong country. The parents did not fight to defend this country, they call themselves mexican-americans, not AMERICANS. If that makes me a right wing consertative, then I am proud to be an AMERCIAN right-wing.
Right-on Gunny. If you don't want to be called an American and obey the laws as they are written, go back to where you came from.
The problem with "Illegal" immigration is simple.....enforce the laws we have had of record forever. To say a child born in the U.S. is not a legal citizen does not undue the wrong of "ILLEGAL" immigration. We need to get serious and that does not mean at the southern border but 360degrees, all coast and land borders. Illegals enter the U.S. on Visitor/Tourist cards or with a Passport, however, who is checking to ensure they depart when the approved stay has terminated? How about folks that enter with a student Visa, who is checking to ensure they depart after graduation? You can enter any ethnic restaurant probably in the entire country and make a 100% check of all employees to include the owner. I think you will find a significant number do NOT have proper clearance to reside let alone work in the U.S...
We need to enforce the laws we already have if we want to stop "illegal" immigration
The question says illegal immigrants. All of a sudden you say Mexico. They don't only come from Mexico. I don't condone illegals but when I was in school I remember when studying the constitution it said that anyone born in the US was automatically a US citizen. Perhaps we need to back to the American Indians and let them decide who should be a citizen of THEIR country.
This COUNTRYwas created by europeans who were predominately white and migrated here a couple of centuries ago.....this LAND was inhabited by Indians after they migrated here many centuries ago...the only difference between the two groups is the timing.....Indians are also immigrants just at a different time period.....The USA was never THEIR country and, in fact, the Indians were many nations not just one homogenous group of people so the Indians didn't "own" the land..in fact they disbelieved in ownership of land because they worshipped nature including the land and were predominately migrants throughout the region including present day Canada and Mexico....so exactly at what point in history do we start deciding who owns what?? I agree that any group of people can illegally immigrate and if they do they all should be prosecuted equally but let's face it...the largest group of illegals comes from Mexico..it's not a racial statement just a fact of the numbers
It has always been the standard that you do not profit from the fruits of criminal activity. Entering this country is an illegal act. Anyone who aids or abets an illegal commits a crime. Nuff said.
Whoever is coming up with this garbage should be deported back to Iran.
Show of hands. How many of you have noticed that those most eager to ignore the Constitution and the ones screaming loudest about the need to obey it are the same people?
The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. If I recall correctly it passed Congress on a strict party line vote; all Republicans voted for it, all Democrats voted against it. The President at that time was Andrew Johnson; LBJ had not yet been born.
Know how most of the expectant mothers "sneak across the border to give birth"? On airplanes. Yep. Most are wealthy tourists from Europe, Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc. Very few are from Mexico.
None of this flap about illegals, anchor babies, SB1070, etc does squat to secure the border. If they really cared about that the border state Governors would mobilize their militias along the borders. Nope, it's all just election year chin music aimed at gullible fools and ignorant bigots.
Currently, the law is clear and we should all abide by the law. Nobody should deny citizenship to a baby born in the US. That being said, if a person or group takes "unfair" advantage of our Constituion we should decide as a country whether a change is needed.
Changes can only be successful if people use the same meaning for the same words. There are so many people who will say that "illegal alien" is an exact match for "undocumented alien" or even "undocumented citizen". Illegal means illegal.
We need to be careful not to confuse issues. All of us should care for people who need help. Remember - even in war we medically and humanely treat enemy wounded. But even in war, enemies have been released because our military could not care for them.
You are either in the country legally or you are not. Give me your tired, your poor applies to appropriate legal immigration. The benefits of citizenship, even by proxy, should not be granted to anyone here illegally.
Contrary to popular "progressive-liberal" opinion, the 14th Amendment does not grant American citizenship to anyone, other than those "persons" born of AMERICAN BORN parents. Indeed, the Founders, when establishing the process by which the president is elected, clearly set the standard that 1) he/she must be born in the USA....2) that they must have resided in the USA for at least 14 consecutive years....and 3) That he/she must be at least 35 years of age. And, it was clearly understood that to be a NATURAL BORN citizen....BOTH parents had to be American citizens.
The the INTENT of the authors of the 14th Amendment, as noted in the legislative language and in the Congressional records, DID NOT IN ANY WAY grant "automatic citizenship" simply because one was physically born on U.S. soil. Indeed, they provided a list of exclusions....of which "aliens" are listed. Those who claim to know what the Constitution means on this subject are wrong. Citizenship is an HONOR! NOT A REWARD!
What Constitution? We have no Constitution. In the last couple of months what we had left of a Constitution has been shredded. Federal judges find it to their liking to over rule anything or everything that is brought before them. Its not what the people want, its what the Feds want. Why even vote anymore. You vote it in, they throw it out. Judges should be part of the elected group and put on term limits also.
I see quite a bit of confusion in the comments from my fellow veterans. First, no court has ever ruled on whether the 14th Amendment requires giving citizenship to the births of tourists and illegal aliens. Only nine people can say for sure what the 14th requires. Good Constitutional scholars can be found on both sides of the argument. That means we need the Supreme Court to rule. The best way to do that is to pass H.R. 1868 which does NOT change the Constitution but DOES change federal law to require that for a baby to gain U.S. citizenship it must have at least one parent who is either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident alien (legal immigrant). Then, let the Supreme Court rule on its constitutionality. By the way, every modern Developed nation in the world except Canada and the U.S. has already gotten rid of birthright citizenship (and the majority of poor countries don't have it either). It's time we got in step with the rest of the world on this one.
One more comment in response to those who feel ending birthright citizenship would do nothing to reduce illegal immigration. I agree that it would not be the most important action. That would be passing the SAVE Act and mandating verification of all employees for all jobs, removing the jobs magnet for illegal aliens. But birthright citizenship does cause a lot of illegal aliens to be less likely to go home because they know it is rare that the government will deport illegal aliens if they have U.S. citizen children (unless the illegal aliens have committed other crimes). Pew Hispanic Center just reported that about 340,000 anchor babies were born last year alone. This is not a small problem. And it makes perfect sense for the American Legion to look at this issue because protecting the quality of U.S. citizenship is one of the Legion's responsibilities.
Of even more concern to me than the confusion displayed by many veterans over this issue is their indifference to the entire immigration crisis. Like one of my neighbors said during a "meet and greet" session with a candidate seeking to replace my inept congressman in Wisconsin's 3rd District, too many veterans foolishly believe that "immigration doesn't affect me that much." That is a very dangerous assumption. The ideas and principles on which this republic was founded and for which so many Americans died to protect are under attack. When they are attacked, we as individuals are attacked. Incredibly, certain weak-kneed members of the Wisconsin Legion are considering ending the citizenship requirement for the Badger Boys and Girls State programs out of fear of being sued by the ACLU and their ilk. Citizenship is part of the Legion's Americanism "pillar." How can we be expected to go into classrooms to discuss "Americanism" if we have thrown away its main ingredient?
anyone born in the U.S. of A has the constitutional right to become automaticaly a United States Citizen.
In GOD We Trust, they shouldn't be blamed, and like someone said Mexicans aren't the only ones. thier more in the media but check out european illegals, asian illegals. Lets be what we're fighting for overseas, our men and women shouldn't be dieing in vain. The borders should be controlled better more equipment and personnel
14th Amendment states "All person's born in the United States ... and SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF..."
The case can readily be made that if the parents are illegally here, that they and their off-spring are legally subject to the jurisdiction of the country of their citizenship.
Every word in the Constitution is there for a reason so you can't just ignore a phrase because you want to.

Self-defense course for kids: 'That is the key to safety'
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- About three dozen parents enrolled their kids in a free child safety course that took place at Pleu's Tae Kwon Do in Corvallis on Saturday. The course focused on teaching children how to react when confronted with dangerous situations.
One parent, Chari Engberg, said that she hopes the course will teach her son how to defend himself if a person tries to harm him.
"There's a lot of things happening in this world right now … and I want my son to know that there are bad people out there and they do bad things."
Sharon Pleu is the owner of Pleu Tae Kwon Do, and has taught self-defense courses for 15 years. She said the course teaches kids how to properly defend themselves if a stranger or bully tries to harm them.
After years of teaching the course Pleu found that the toughest part is getting children to understand that it is OK to scream if they are being attacked.
"They get to understand that they are allowed to yell and scream as they get away to get other peoples attention to help them." Pleu said.
Parents were also involved in the self-defense learning process. Parents were asked to work with kids on creating an emergency plan if a dangerous situation arises.
Pleu also asked parents to continue practicing safety and defense techniques at home after the course ends.
"Doing it once is not going to keep that child safe. But taking that child home and doing it with them and practicing it, that is the key to safety." Pleu said.
Pleu said that there will be another self-defense course offered in the future.
