British Prime Minister David Cameron (pictured) is reportedly considering the drastic step of "pre-crime" blocking of social media sites if the violent riots in his country continue. He contends that such a move would permit authorities more time to "catch up" with arrests of suspects shown rioting on surveillance cameras. The communication platforms under particular scrutiny are Twitter, Facebook, and Blackberry Instant Messenger.
In an address to the British House of Commons on Thursday, Cameron explained:
Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill. So we are working with the Police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality.
Similar measures were taken by then-President Hosni Mubarak during the Egyptian revolution earlier this year. The Guardian reported on the impact of social networking during the conflict:

CANTON St. Lawrence County legislators are leaning toward beefing up flow control of solid waste so that more is directed toward its transfer stations, leading to a drop in the tipping fee and to continued survival of a public option to dispose of trash.
Legislators have spent several months working on recommendations that would bring down the tipping fee from $137 per ton, especially as Massena is considering its own transfer station to drop the costs for its residents and conceivably take in trash from others who use the county sites.
The county is also considering eliminating an accounting practice that collects money for post-employment benefit costs.
Combined, the two recommendations could drop the tipping fee by $35 to $37 per ton.
Tonnages are on a downward spiral. We dont want to end up pricing ourselves out, Legislator Joseph Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg, said. We did not come to these conclusions lightly. The idea is to save Solid Waste.
Since 2007, tonnages have dropped 25 percent, Mr. Lightfoot said.
The county has a duty to perform for its citizens, Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler, said.
Its in the public good. We have an obligation to maintain a public choice, Mr. MacKinnon said. I think we have to maintain that theres some mechanism to do that. The least cost is to take it yourself.
Some legislators were unhappy with the prospect of more control on where haulers take what they collect.
Youre trying to create an artificial market, Soviet style, Legislator Kevin D. Acres, R-Madrid, said. This is un-American, what youre trying to do.
Legislator Daniel F. Parker, R-Potsdam, said the county should exhaust other options, including a robust discussion with those in business such as Casella, the countys largest hauler before it started making flow control punitive.
Under the recommendations outlined by Mr. Lightfoot, Casella would be exempt from the strengthened flow control rule and could continue to use its own transfer station in Parishville and haul directly to the regional landfill in the Jefferson County town of Rodman, which is managed by the Development Authority of the North Country under a tri-county intermunicipal agreement.
St. Lawrence would not be able to handle all of Casellas waste under its operation, Mr. Lightfoot said.
We have equipment needs. We have site needs that need to be addressed that we cant pay for, he said. What were trying to do is level things off.
Many people favor keeping the system solvent, even if it makes the government officious or harsh, Legislator Sallie A. Brothers, D-Norfolk, said.
We have a contract with DANC, she said. We still have to pay the bill.
Chester W. Skip Bisnett, general manager of Casellas Potsdam division, left the Monday meeting of the legislators glad to hear his company would be left alone for the most part but with remaining questions. Forcing Casella to use the countys transfer stations would mean job losses for some of the companys employees.
If we had to go, it would have a catastrophic effect, Mr. Bisnett said. Theres no question it will have an effect.
A handful of haulers use Casella to bring their collections to the landfill in Rodman, Mr. Bisnett said.
The county is not the only one which has seen a drop in tonnage, he said, because of the loss of businesses in recent years, particularly General Motors. A number of haulers other than Casella go directly to the landfill in Rodman, where the tipping fee is $48.50 per ton.
County legislators voted 11-4 a year ago not to privatize the Solid Waste Department considered an enterprise fund because most of its operations are paid by user fees.
Judging from the last vote, theres no appetite to do that but it is still an option, Mr. Lightfoot said.
A committee of legislators also looked at the county partnering with a private business to run the transfer stations while it maintained ownership, but did not make that recommendation.
It did recommend the exclusion of post-employment benefit costs from Solid Wastes budget, which will mean its books will operate in the red. The $900,000 collected for post-employment benefit costs over the last two years will instead be available for improvements at the transfer stations.

GLENBURN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- State Police and the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office says a body was located Monday night and is likely the remains of fifteen year old Nichole Cable of Glenburn.
Positive identification will not take place until further examination by the State Medical Examiner's Office Tuesday. The remains were found about 9:30 p.m. by the Maine Warden Service at an undisclosed wooded location. The site has been secured for the night and the recovery of the remains will begin at daylight Tuesday morning. The parents of the girl were told of the development by members of the sheriff's department and State Police.
Additional information will be released at a news conference Tuesday morning at the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department in Bangor at 11:30 am.

With more than 2.5 million additional Americans without jobs since he moved into the White House, President Obama would do better on jobs if he cancelled the bus, saved the gas, and just stayed put in the Oval Office to work on reversing the policies he's promoted that have only made things worse, starting with ObamaCare.

The molecular basis of synaptic plasticity, sleep/wake regulation, learning and memory
Key words: Memory storage; synaptic plasticity; long-term potentiation; behavior; sleep/wake states; genetically modified mice; epigenetics; cAMP signaling; autism; schizophrenia.
Description of Research
The primary focus of research in the Abel lab is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of long-term memory storage with a focus on the mammalian hippocampus. One of the hallmarks of long-term memory storage is that it requires the synthesis of new genes and new proteins, which act to alter the strength of synaptic connections within appropriate neuronal circuits in the brain. How are the various signals acting on a neuron integrated to give rise to appropriate changes in gene expression? How are changes in gene expression maintained to sustain memories for days, months and even years? In our lab, we have focused on transcriptional co-activators such as CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300, leading us to investigate the effects of histone acetylation and other epigenetic modifications in memory storage. Increasing histone acetylation pharmacologically by inhibiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes during memory consolidation enhances long-term memory. Of particular importance is the identification of genes regulated by epigenetic mechanisms during memory consolidation and after HDAC inhibition using next-generation sequencing technology. Signals from synapses drive the transcriptional processes that are required for memory storage. A major challenge in the study of these synaptic signals is how the pathway specificity of synaptic plasticity is maintained in the face of diffusible second messengers, such as cyclic AMP (cAMP), and diffusible proteins, such as the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). We are investigating the role of A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs), which restrict PKA to specific subcellular locations, to define how signal transduction pathways in neurons are able to exhibit spatial specificity.
We are also investigating processes that can modulate the consolidation of long-term memory. For example, the biological function of sleep has remained elusive, but studies suggest that one function of sleep may be to mediate memory storage. First, sleep appears to facilitate the formation of hippocampus-dependent memories, and sleep is increased following training. Second, sleep appears to be regulated by many of the same molecular processes that contribute to memory storage, including the transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and the PKA signaling pathway. By using conditional genetic approaches and gene expression studies, we are striving to elucidate the machinery underlying sleep/wake regulation and define the role of sleep in the consolidation of long-term memory. Our studies also reveal that sleep deprivation impairs memory consolidation and synaptic plasticity by impairing signaling through the cAMP pathway.
Cognitive deficits accompany many neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. We are interested in determining how our knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and memory storage can help us understand the cognitive deficits that are seen in patients with schizophrenia, autism and intellectual disability. Recent evidence suggests that disturbances in specific intracellular signaling pathways may contribute to schizophrenia. Studies in humans indicate that activity within the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway may be increased in the central nervous systems of schizophrenia patients, and our work suggests that this pathway plays a role in endophenotypes of schizophrenia in mice. With these translational approaches, we hope to identify novel targets for the development of new therapeutics to treat psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Comments about Remo Kid's Percussion Rain Forest Gathering Drum:
This is a great piece and my 22 month granddaughter was drawn to it immediately. Looks very durable and sounds great. It is a great piece to build rhythm on young children. Please note that the picture on this item leads that you are getting three pieces, but it is only one piece that you will receive.
Comments about Remo Kid's Percussion Rain Forest Gathering Drum:
As a former Kindermusik teacher I was introduced to these drums. I now teach my own program with 2 - 12 year old children. These drums are very durable withstand alot of abuse. They have been used at outdoor festivals, drum circles, in class, withstood my own 4 children and their friends playing them and are still being used and in great shape after 9 years of use. I highly recommend these drums for anyone considering drums for children. Just don't get them wet! They will delaminate.
Comments about Remo Kid's Percussion Rain Forest Gathering Drum:
Purchased for Christmas for my five year old after watching him unintentionally destroy a "kids" drum set he received a year ago. Sound is great on this drum, it is of high quality, and adults are constantly drawn to it, as well! Mallets are even durable and high quality.
Comments about Remo Kid's Percussion Rain Forest Gathering Drum:
I use this drum in my KINDERMUSIK early childhood music & movement classes, and parents and children alike cannot get enough of it. It's perfect for a group of little hands to play together w/ teacher and parents. It provides a variety of sounds, from resounding booms to clear ostinatos (when tapped at the edges), and lots in between. Also, the ledges and built-in "stand" serve as fun percussion as well. Kids l-o-v-e it! (and so do I.)

POTSDAM For the third time this season the Clarkson University mens hockey team defeated an opponent it could not beat a year ago.
The Golden Knights opened the home portion of their schedule with a 4-1 victory over the Rochester Institute of Technology before 2,058 fans in a nonconference game Friday night at Cheel Arena.
RIT, an Atlantic Hockey team, tied the Golden Knights 3-3 a year ago, but Clarkson (4-1 overall) continues to show early in the season that it has improved.
We dont take anybody lightly, Clarkson senior Allan McPherson said. Atlantic Hockey has improved. We saw it last year. We lost almost every game (against Atlantic Hockey foes) and tied a couple. Anyone can beat anyone in college hockey. We saw that last year.
Clarkson was 0-3-4 against Atlantic Hockey teams last season, but so far this year the Golden Knights are 4-0, having already defeated Niagara twice and Mercyhurst once.
Im pleased with our effort, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. I thought we had good energy. I was really pleased with our third-period play when we had the lead. I thought we did a good job possessing the puck and playing with the puck in the third.
Clarkson controlled play in the first period, outshooting the Tigers 15-10, but did not score until 14 minutes, 20 seconds in when Jeff DiNallo scored his second goal of the year after taking a nice pass from behind the net by Pat Megannety.
RIT, coming off a pair of losses last week to Colgate and Michigan, continued to struggle. The Tigers (0-3) also dropped an exhibition game to Queens University.
I came out of the first period and did not think we played that well, Tigers coach Wayne Wilson said. I did not think we were going with a strong forecheck and second and third efforts. We were one (shot) and done. That was a big part to (Clarkson). They were very well-coached and did a great job tonight.
The Tigers had a chance to tie the game 1-1 with a little more than six minutes left in the second period when Brad Reid had a breakaway opportunity, but Clarkson goalie Greg Lewis stifled his chance.
I thought he played really well, Jones said of Lewis. He was equal to the task when they had their opportunities. Hes confident. I wanted him in the home opener tonight for his experience, and he handled it really well.
Shortly after Lewiss save, Clarkson extended the lead to 2-0 on a strange goal from Jarrett Burton, who broke his stick on the shot but still got the puck past Tigers goalie Jordan Ruby at 15:02 of the second period.
As I was trying take the shot, thats when (the stick) broke, Burton said. I just had to watch it trickle in. Im pretty happy about it, I guess. We were just trying to pump pucks at Ruby all night. We know hes a good goalie.
RIT answered Burtons goal when Reid finally got a shot past Lewis at 17:09 of the second period to make the score 2-1.
But just 27 seconds after the Tigers cut the lead to one, Clarksons McPherson answered with a goal to extend the lead to 3-1 heading into the third period.
I thought (Clarkson) outbattled us, Wilson said. You look at their second and third goals, the second goal they ran over our defenseman and goalie, but they just went to the net strong, I had no problem with it. We have to defend that area better. The third goal they won on a faceoff and got a shot off, a second shot and a third shot and scored.
Joe Zarbo scored on a rebound of his own shot at 3:24 of the third period to give Clarkson a 4-1 lead, and Lewis preserved that score by making a save on a shorthanded breakaway from Josh Mitchell later in the period.
The guys played well in front of me all night, Lewis said. It felt pretty good. Were happy, but were not really satisfied here. We know we can win some games here and we need to put a streak together.
nNOTES: Megannety was injured early in the game and did not finish. It is not know how serious his injury is or when he will return. ... Sophomore defenseman Paul Geiger assisted on two goals and had a plus-two rating. ... Clarkson went 49-2 on faceoffs, with Ben Sexton winning 18 of 20.

As of this afternoon, it looks as though Derek Stepan
is going to remain a Ranger for at least the next two years (barring a trade.)
Stepan signed his new deal this afternoon for $6.15 million over the next two
seasons. Considering his contributions to the team, undeniable talent and still
evolving game, the Rangers have got to be happy signing last year's leading
Though young (Derek turned 23 during the 2013 season)
Stepan has hit the ice and made an impact immediately. He's been healthy
consistently, and played in every game since his debut in the 2010-2011 regular
season. Stepan's averaged over .5 points per game every season, and even approached
the 1.0 mark this season (allotting 44 points in 48 regular season games.)
During the 2013 post-season, Stepan put up the game winners in games 3 and 4 of
the opening round, and started the comeback in the third period of the lone win
in the second round vs the Bruins.
Stepan proved how valuable he was in 2013 and wanted
to be compensated appropriately for his value to the team. Ranger fans are all
happy to see him back in Blue, with his best years in front of him. Now the
Rangers can focus on the 2013-2014 regular season knowing the last
restricted-free agent has signed a deal.

How-to: Make a Dried Apple Wreath
Yes, a dried apple wreath is amply countrified, but only if you hang it in the kitchen. If you embrace the ancient folklore that imbues the apple with meanings such as life, sexuality, or wisdom, then you can find the other rooms in your home in which a dried apple wreath holds valuable symbolism:
Hung at your front door, a dried apple wreath represents the vitality of life throughout your entire house.
Hung in your study, a dried apple wreath, when the apple slices are cut to reveal their natural star, bequeaths wisdom.
Hung in your bedroom, a dried apple wreath is intended to give sexy thoughts to those who love there.
Hung with meaning, or just as an autumn centerpiece, a dried apple wreath is simple to make–and it uses up your surplus apples! Here's how to make one:
Before you can make a dried apple wreath, you have to dry plenty of apple slices. I like to use local, organic, unblemished apples, thinly sliced horizontally so that the middle slices reveal the natural star shape formed by the seed case inside the apple.
I dry my apple slices in my dehydrator, rescuing them from my hungry children as I can to set the best-looking ones aside for my wreath. You can also, of course, hang your apple slices to dry, which many people prefer since it's the more typically traditional method, or oven dry your apple slices, which takes the least amount of time.

Lipscomb (15-7)

Marshall (16-11)
Lipscomb (16-7)
3/19/2012 | Nashville, Tenn. | Attendance: 156
Monday, March 19, 2012
The pre-Atlantic Sun Conference schedule is designed as a series of tests for the Lipscomb Lady Bison.
And the grades aren't always based on wins and losses. Monday afternoon at Draper Diamond the Lady Bison split a doubleheader with Marshall. They lost the first game 2-1 in eight innings and came back strong in the nightcap for a 4-1 win.
"I told the girls that we needed to win a close game," Lady Bison coach Kristin Ryman said. "We needed to be in another tough situation where we knew what that pressure was like and we had to fight through it.
"In the first game I thought we were challenged and we struggled with that. In the second game we didn't want to be comfortable even with a 4-1 lead. And that is nothing against our pitchers. We wanted to keep attacking and attacking. I thought we got better today mentally."
One player who gets a mental boost with each outing is left-handed pitcher Ashley Anderson. She ended her shutout innings streak at 18, but the run in game two was unearned. She has shutdown the opposition in 23 of the last 24 innings.
Anderson held Marshall to four hits while walking three and striking out two.
"Ashley has definitely stepped up big time," Lipscomb catcher Mollie Mitchell said. "This is technically her freshman year.
"Her drop ball is dropping off of the table. She is moving the ball all over the place. She is so confident out there. I don't think she gets nervous any more. She is pitching like a second-or-third-year pitcher."
In game one neither team scored until the eighth inning. Marshall scored two runs, one on a single down the left field line by Bri Anna Hope and another on an infield error.
The Lady Bison attempted to rally in the eighth. With two outs Rena Cothron singled down the left field line to score Bridgette Begle.
Marshall right-hander Andi Williamson, 11-6, allowed only two hits. She struck out 11 and walked six.
"When you face a good pitcher you have to take it as a challenge and not get down on yourself," Ryman said. "When you face an outstanding pitcher it is nothing to get frustrated about.
"Going into the second game we turned it around and had a good attitude. I think that is big. In a doubleheader you don't want to take the frustration of the first game into the second one. I thought we did a nice job of not letting that happen."
Lipscomb right-hander Whitney Kiihnl, 13-4, scattered seven hits. She also struck out 11 and walked two.
It was the first loss at home to the Lady Bison this season and ended a seven-game winning streak.
The Lady Bison bounced back in game two with two runs in the first as Kelsey Cartwright tripled to right center to score Bree Thurman.
In the fourth the Lady Bison added two more runs when Gracey Aguirre slammed a two-run homer to left field, her first as a college player.
Marshall scored a run in the second when Victoria Marvin doubled to right center to bring home Jessica Hughes who reached base on an error.
Despite two team errors in game two Ryman pointed to the success of the defense, especially the play of Thurman in center and Begle at shortstop.
"We got some very big plays when we needed them," Ryman said. "I thought Bridgette played very well at short. And Bree made some very key plays in center like the big play in the second game when she made a great catch and doubled the runner at first.
"Our defense is strong. We see it every day in practice. It is just a matter of overcoming some little minor things in games that technically go in the book as errors."
Marshall's Natalie Pulver threw 4.2 innings and gave up four hits and four runs. She walked three and struck out one. Erika Bennett closed out the game with 1.1 scoreless innings.
The Lady Bison, 16-7, head to the West Coast later this week to play in the Mustang Classic in San Luis Obispo, Calif.

Recently Governor Herbert vetoed HB 363. While it is being called into question whether it was political timing or not, I am inspired by his choice. I don't think this is a stamp of approval for Utah children to have sex. I think this is a great opportunity for the education system and parents to work as a collaborative system and inform children about how to protect their bodies.
Just because the education system has the ability to inform students about sexual choices and how it can affect them physically, doesn't mean that it will override the educational piece that will come from parents about how it can affect them emotionally or spiritually.
Bottom line is that I agree with teaching our children about sex education and having confidence in our parenting skills that they will respect their bodies and make choices that respect their own values.

AKRON -- Federal prosecutors have put former Cuyahoga County engineer's office employee J. Kevin Kelley on the stand for what is expected to be very damaging testimony this week against former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora.
Kelley, who is also a former Parma school board member, is one of two main witnesses the government expects to confirm most, if not all, of the government's 31 charges in this first trial against Dimora.
Kelley is also expected to testify against Dimora's co-defendant Michael D. Gabor. Gabor, of Parma, is charged with five counts, including bribery. Gabor worked for then-Cuyahoga County Auditor Frank Russo.
Kelley was the first person charged in the FBI's Cuyahoga County corruption probe which went public on July 28, 2008.
In mid-2009, Kelley was the first person charged in the probe, and was the first defendant to plead guilty and cooperated with prosecutors. Kelley moved his family to the Tampa-St. Petersburg area in June, 2009.
Until now, Kelley has not yet testified in court against any of the corruption probe defendants.
Prosecutors say Kelley was the "middle man" and/or the "go-to" guy for years between businesses, contractors, county officials and others where hundreds of thousands of dollars wree affected by the alleged schemes.
Kelley, 42, was also known to arrange for women to join Dimora at a condominium at Stonebridge on the West Bank of the Flats, as well as gambling trips.
Dimora, of Independence, also faces about five additional charges that were filed after his initial indictment.
Russo is the other main witness expected to testify later in the trial. Russo has already pleaded guilty to 21 charges and faces 21 years and 10 months in prison.

Research in Motion has been in contact with a number of the most popular record labels in the world discussing a possible agreement that would allow him to launch a music service of their own. A number of the world's most popular mobile companies have already been in discussions with the world's largest record labels regarding how they can put together a music service for their mobile devices such as unlocked Blackberry Bold Touch 9900, Bold 9780, etc.. It is rumored that Research In Motion is looking to utilize these deals with record labels to launch a BBM Music service for their subscribers. The application was first noted a few months ago that it could be an application I was embedded within the messenger give users the ability to purchase and share music with their friends. It is estimated that this application would cost users around $4.99 per month.
Now that it has been confirmed that Research In Motion is working with a number of the largest record labels, you can bet that this technology may be making an appearance in the very near future. They are reportedly signed with as many as two different record labels including Universal Music Group, as well as Sony Music Entertainment. These deals alone would give them access to some of the world's most popular bands and artists and would allow for their users to have access to some very interesting music. There are also reportedly in discussions with Warner Music Group and EMI Music.
It is good to see that Research In Motion is constantly updating their applications and are looking for new ways to bring functionality to their users. The market share that the company has lost in recent years is being a driving force for the company as they look for new ways to bring additional functionality to their users in a way that makes sense. Since the BBM platforms are something that is used by a majority of their users, you can bet that they are looking to quickly and efficiently update their service.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked Blackberry phones such as Curve 9300, unlocked Torch 9800, etc..

Strunc Flirts With No-Hitter As Baseball Tops SIU, 4-3
OMAHA, Neb. - Freshman ace Tommy Strunc took a no-hitter into the ninth inning and Jake Peter came on for the final three outs as Creighton Baseball opened a weekend series with Southern Illinois with a 4-3 victory on Friday, April 19th.
The contest marked the two-year anniversary of the first game played at the annual home of the Men's College World Series.
Strunc's no-hit bid was broken up on a single up the middle by Rennie Troggio on the first pitch of the ninth inning. Peter came on to pitch in relief and would surrender a double and home run before getting the final three outs to secure the victory.
Creighton improved to 20-9 with the win, and is now 6-4 in MVC play. Southern Illinois dropped to 18-19 on the year and is 2-8 in Valley play.
Strunc was dominant from the start, striking out the first five men he faced and mowing down seven of the first nine men via the strikeout. He was perfect through 3.2 innings before a walk to Mattt Jones, then proceeded to let his highly-skilled defense do much of the work behind him.
Strunc labored through a long seventh inning, stranding two men who reached via walks, before a 1-2-3 eighth. The first two men flied out on lazy fly balls before Jake Welch nearly broke up the no-hitter with a sharp line drive up the middle. Strunc knocked down the ball (which also knocked off his glove), then scampered behind the mound to retrieve the ball. He would whirl and throw to a stretching Landon Lucansky at first base to finish the eighth at 121 pitches.
After Troggio's single to open the ninth, Jones doubled to greet Peter. Austin Montgomery then turned on a Peter fastball to hit his fifth homer of the year into left and trim CU's lead to 4-3. Peter would settle down to retire the next three men in order.
"I had an idea of what was going on, but you can't think about things like that," Strunc told Creighton's radio crew postgame.
Creighton scored an unearned run in the bottom of the second inning when Lucansky scored on a a single by Kevin Lamb.
The Jays added three runs in the third inning when Alex Staehely's high fly ball curled just inside the left-field foul pole for his second homer of the season, making it 4-0. The home run scored Peter and Federico Castagnini as well.
Strunc threw a career-high 122 pitches in his eight innings of work, tying a career-high with eight strikeouts while also tying his high with five walks and allowing one run. Castagnini and Lamb paced the offense with two hits each.
Cody Forsythe fell to 1-3 with the loss, allowing four runs (three earned) in six innings of work while walking a season-high four men.
The Jays and Salukis will continue the series on Saturday, April 20 at 2 p.m. Saturday's contest will be televised live in Nebraska on NET, with CU's Nick Musec (0-4, 5.70 ERA) expected to face Derek Fogel (0-1, 3.48 ERA) on the mound.
NOTES: Alex Staehely now has hit both of Creighton two home runs at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha in the past two years ...Staehely's three career homers at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha tie him with Trever Adams for the facility record ...Tommy Strunc's five straight strikeouts to start the game were last done by a Creighton pitcher on Feb. 20, 2010, by Jonas Dufek vs. SIU Edwardsville ...Creighton had allowed two ninth-inning runs all season before the three allowed tonight ...Creighton improved to 29-0 all-time when leading after eight innings at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The caucus' in Iowa last week brought to light something that has really changed in American politics in the last 50 years.
In 1960 John Kennedy, who was running for president at the time, made his famous speech about being Catholic. At the time there was a huge controversy about having a Catholic president because all that had gone before were confessed to be some kind of Protestant. Kennedy basically told a group of ministers in Houston in that speech that he would do what was right for the American people, not what the Pope would have him do.
Kennedy was still assailed from many corners of Protestantism for his Catholic belief just the same. We all know Kennedy was elected to the office and became the first, and up until now, the only Catholic president to ever serve.
Four years ago Mitt Romney did a somewhat similar thing when he gave his Mormon speech. However, the speeches weren't that much alike. Kennedy and his campaign actually used his speech to rally his base and it did a lot of good to get people sitting on the fence to vote for him. Romney used his speech to try and prove to Protestant groups that his church is not a cult and that he, morrally and spiritually, was just like every other Christian.
But I am not writing this to analyse the speeches and their similarities or differences, but to show how the times change. Kennedy and Romney, while holding onto their religion, were in a sense saying "I am an American first and a (insert religion here) second." They weren't running away from their religions, but they were distinguishing their political life from their religious one.
Last week Rick Santorum took second in the Iowa Caucus after a surge no one expected. He along with Michelle Bachman and Rick Perry went hard after the evangelical vote in the state. These candidates made no bones about their religious attitudes, their beliefs in those religions and how those religions would to a large extent influence their decisions if they were president. It was actually exactly the opposite tack that the Kennedy and Romney campaigns produced.
Santorum (who interestingly enough is a Catholic) seems to blend in well with the evangelical groups, groups that 50 years ago had great fear about a Catholic becoming President. But it seems those same groups now seem to have great fear of a Mormon becoming a President instead.
No screen writer could create a stanger mini-series on television that what we have been doing in this country for some time. We walk into the "do as we say, not as we do" trap continually. We have pushed so hard for other countries to have secular democracies so one religion or type of religion cannot dominate their governments, yet we seem to be hell bent on creating one of our own.
I remember an old joke I heard on television in the 1960s from a standup comic who said that when he was a kid (in the 1940s) the government told the public to love the Russians and Chinese, but to hate the Germans and the Japanese. Then in the 1960s similar agencies told everyone to hate the Russians and the Chinese and love the Germans and the Japanese.
This thing with love/hate relationships over religion and politics seems little different than what that joke spelled out about nationalities. The enemy yesterday is the allie today; tomorrow it may be different.
Hey wasn't that one of the main themes of Orwell's 1984?
People should be able to practice their religion openly, and politicians should be no different. Some say that religion shows character and that is why it is important. I say look at all those with "character" that have been unmasked over the years for things they did that they condemned others for when they were in power. Character isn't about the religion (or non-religion), it's about the individuals behavior.
A fountain can produce many streams of water, but the streams are all made of tiny drops that flow their own way.
Leadership and vision, which we need badly in this country, does not spring only from one well, but many.

Selling...in the age of VMS
Our annual survey of large staffing buyers has indicated an unbroken chain of increased VMS usage year after year. In 2008, the percentage of large buyers using VMS passed the 50% mark. Preliminary results from our latest buyer survey now underway suggest usage went up again in 2009. This trend has two major implications.
Enter efficient markets
First, among large buyers staffing is rapidly evolving into an efficient, mature market, by which I mean suppliers are being commoditized and profits for this business will increasingly tend toward a modest, market-level return.
If you want to know what a modest market-level return is, picture fast-food, where a handful of large players have driven the price of a piping-hot, instantly-served double-cheeseburger--delivered in less time than it takes to drive from the order window to the pick-up window--down to $1.29, where a multitude of once highly successful small players have now vanished or exist now at the margin, hanging on through streetwise culinary skills, desperately personable staff or deliberately quirky cache.
In a commoditized market with no barriers to entry, the benefits go to the consumer and only the most low-cost and/or high-quality producers survive. Damn that capitalism. All that might sound bleak, but the good news is that plenty of staffing firms are already operating in the new VMS world at a profit, likely not an extraordinary profit, but efficient staffing firms are still making money.
Exit sales push strategyThe second implication of the rise of VMS -- is that the age is passing in which staffing is sold to large buyers via a large commissioned sales force. Buyers have always hated getting bombarded with phone calls from staffing salespeople; indeed, our survey data suggests that has been one of the key drivers of VMS adoption, perhaps even more so than price. Now that large buyers have adopted VMS, the role for sales is very much diminished.
So what are profit-seeking staffing firms to do? There are three options.
1) You can search for large buyers who don't use VMS. Though these are dwindling in number, there are still many around, and likely there will always be a limited number of large buyers who for whatever reason prefer not to go the VMS route. This is essentially a niche strategy that will depend on finding and keeping what will increasingly be a purple squirrel.
2) Alternatively, you can accept VMS and try to become that sleek cost-cutting machine ever alert to customer preferences that tends to dominate in efficient markets. Most successful staffing firms are already there in some degree, but VMS will make sure they are never extraordinarily profitable. If you plan to go that route, find out what metrics your buyers favor and perform well by those metrics.
3) Lastly, you can tap into the disaggregated world of smaller, occasional buyers, who will never use VMS because they don't have the critical mass of business that would justify it. Such buyers cannot be effectively approached, however, through labor-intensive sales calls. For these, sales are best made through marketing, something of which staffing firms do very little.
Marketing, what a concept!
So what about marketing? Our benchmarking data indicates staffing firms typically spend just 0.6% of revenue on marketing and advertising, only a third of what they spend even on rent.
And it shows--at least if worker brand recognition means anything. Our survey data indicates that among a sample of mostly contingent workers, more thought Robert Half to be a fictional brand than a real one, and 56% thought Aerotek to be either a machine tool manufacturer or a software developer; even well-known Manpower was perceived by 17% to be either a construction company or a machine-tool manufacturer. Occasional staffing buyers are not likely to know much more about staffing firms than occasional contingent workers would. For anyone selling to the smaller buyer, a little more advertising might be justified.
No matter how you look at it, VMS is not just coming to a neighborhood near you--it's coming to your neighborhood. This would be a good time to figure out how you plan to sell to your customers in its wake.
