By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
Over the course of a season teams will play and win games in a not so pretty fashion. The Carbon High Lady Dinos have no problem with that after posting a 49-34 win over Lehi that had plenty of physical play throughout much of the game.
Playing against a higher level team, the Lady Dinos wasted no time as they jumped out to a 18-7 lead after the first quarter. The 11 point lead was built largely upon the Lady Dinos using their full court press to force Lehi in to making turnovers that led to baskets for Carbon.
Head coach Ted Bianco credited his team's defense with keeping Lehi from being able to overcome the early deficit.
"Our defense was superb," Bianco said after the game. "This was a tough physical game and we responded really well to it."
Carbon was able to stay firmly in the lead through the rest of the first half despite some chippy play between both teams. Carbon's Ashley Quinton was called for a technical foul late in the second quarter after a scrum for the ball between both teams.
Despite playing even with Carbon in the second quarter and heading into halftime down 29-18, Lehi was never able to cut into Carbon's lead after scoring just four points in the third quarter.
While Lehi was down by as many as 17 points, they continued to battle Carbon for every loose ball and rebound. Bianco was pleased the Lady Dinos did not back down from the physicality and continued to build onto their lead as the game progressed.
"We have to be ready to withstand body blows during a game while trying to keep a lead and we did tonight," he said.
Sophomore Katie Basinger led all Carbon scorers with 12 points. Her backcourt teammate junior Shailee Croasmun added 10 points.
Bianco credits the backcourt of Basinger and Croasmun with getting everything started on both offense and with the team's full court press.
"Shailee and I work well together out on the floor," said Basinger. "We make sure we control the ball and feed the ball to the low post on offense and try to force turnovers on defense with our press."
With good backcourt play and contributions from frontcourt players including Quinton, Shelby Cornforth and Giovanna Chiara, Bianco said the team is growing up real fast so early in the season.
"Night in an night out the girls have been battling back, playing hard," he said. "We're growing up quicker than I thought we would."
With the win, the Lady Dinos (4-3) are now in possession of first place in Region 12. There are still plenty of tests they must pass in the non-region schedule and it continues with a game tonight against rival Emery High tonight at 7 p.m. at the Carbon High Gymnasium.
In the last meeting back on Nov. 27, Emery used a strong second half to get past the Lady Dinos 40-24.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team got a big Midwest Conference win on Wednesday night in Flood Arena with Ahmad Shamsid-Deen's jumper with 5.8 seconds left the deciding blow in a 65-61 win over Ripon College.
After Shamside-Deen's basket put the Bucs up 62-61 an offensive foul by Ripon and a bench technical, with two free throws by James Lazarcik, sealed it. Chris Bremner added a free throw with one second left for the final score.
Beloit led 14-7 just over six minutes into the game before RC came storming back with a 10-2 run to take a one-point lead midway through the half. The game stayed tight through the rest of the half, with the Bucs taking a 32-29 lead into the lockerroom.
The second half remained close through the first seven minutes before the Buccaneers broke away from a 39-all tie with a 10-3 run to move up 49-42 at 9:21. But the Red Hawks weren't done, answering with a 15-7 run over the next six minutes to move on top 57-56 with 3:10 left in regulation. RC moved up by three with 1:10 left before a Tyler Butke put-back pulled Beloit to within 61-60 with 46 seconds left, setting the stage for the hectic final seconds.
Grant Henricksen had a career-high 17 points and also grabbed six rebounds. Shamsid-Deen finished with ten points and four assists while both Butke and Lazarcik added nine points with six rebounds.
The Buccaneers have some time off before hitting the road next Tuesday to take on Lake Forest College. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m.

I've been looking forward to hearing the soundtrack for quite some time. Earlier this year, I had a nice long conversation with Davidge about the challenges and process behind taking over a series as iconic as Halo, given that Marty O'Donnell's scores for the first games are so revered by fans of the games.
The samples make it clear that Davidge is bringing his own energy to the series, but that's a good thing - dig how he's blending some wild electronic sounds with that gigantic orchestra. Microsoft is really throwing down the cash for this game, huh? You just can't simulate the sound of a big-ass orchestra playing in a grand studio. This is going to be one big-sounding game!
I'm looking forward to hearing the whole thing, and more importantly, to hearing how it works with the game itself. And of course, to seeing if any of my my amazingly accurate soundtrack-based predictions about the game's story are actually accurate.

When we say "cocktail", you probably think "alcohol", "hangover", and quite possibly, "mistake" (no judgment). Product cocktailing, on the other hand? Now that's a whole different story. For those unfamiliar, the term is basically the beauty version of your favorite imbibe; in other words, two or more products mixed together for an enhanced final effect. We spoke with celebrity makeup artist Kirin Bhatty (she's responsible for Jessica Paré's always-stunning looks) and hairstylist Ryan Richman (he counts Sarah Hyland as a client) and asked them to share their favorite product combinations. Whether you're looking for a way to sculpt your cheekbones without sacrificing shimmer, or way to keep your curls in place without weighing them down with gel, we've got you covered. We have to admit—"beauty bartender" does have a nice ring.

This may not be Cormac McCarthy's best book, or even one of the best books of the year (in fact, its construction is a bit incoherent), yet I remain a sucker for the peculiar blend of melancholy and savagery that permeates all of McCarthy's work. Frightening, depressing, bleak: don't miss it.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Set along a bloody frontier in our own time, this is Cormac McCarthy's first novel since Cities of the Plain completed his acclaimed, best-selling "Border Trilogy."
Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds men shot dead, a load of heroin, and over $2 million in cash. Packing the money out, he knows, will change everything. But only after two more men are murdered does a victim's burning car lead Sheriff Bell to the carnage out in the desert, and he soon realizes that Moss and his young wife are in desperate need of protection. One party in the failed transaction hires an ex-Special Forces officer to defend his interests against a mesmerizing freelancer, while on either side are men accustomed to spectacular violence and mayhem.
The pursuit stretches along and across the border, each participant seemingly determined to answer what one asks another: How does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? A harrowing story of a war that society wages on itself, an enduring meditation of the ties of love and blood and duty that inform lives and shape destinies, and a novel of extraordinary resonance and power.
"Seven years after Cities of the Plain brought his acclaimed Border Trilogy to a close, McCarthy returns with a mesmerizing modern-day western. In 1980 southwest Texas, Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, stumbles across several dead men, a bunch of heroin and $2.4 million in cash. The bulk of the novel is a gripping man-on-the-run sequence relayed in terse, masterful prose as Moss, who's taken the money, tries to evade Wells, an ex-Special Forces agent employed by a powerful cartel, and Chigurh, an icy psychopathic murderer armed with a cattle gun and a dangerous philosophy of justice. Also concerned about Moss's whereabouts is Sheriff Bell, an aging lawman struggling with his sense that there's a new breed of man (embodied in Chigurh) whose destructive power he simply cannot match. In a series of thoughtful first-person passages interspersed throughout, Sheriff Bell laments the changing world, wrestles with an uncomfortable memory from his service in WWII and — a soft ray of light in a book so steeped in bloodshed — rejoices in the great good fortune of his marriage. While the action of the novel thrills, it's the sensitivity and wisdom of Sheriff Bell that makes the book a profound meditation on the battle between good and evil and the roles choice and chance play in the shaping of a life. Agent, Amanda Urban. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Shades of Dostoyevsky, Hemingway, and Faulkner resonate in McCarthy's blend of lyrical narrative, staccato dialogue, and action-packed scenes splattered with bullets and blood." Booklist (Starred Review)
"[N]asty fun...a darting movie-ready narrative that rips along like hell on wheels....Such sinister high hokum might be ridiculous if McCarthy didn't keep it moving faster than the reader can pause to think about it." Walter Kirn, The New York Times Book Review
"The pace is deliberately grim and airless — the book has little of the space and quiet that resonated beneath All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing. As a result, the murders are numbing rather than moving..." The Christian Science Monitor
"With his stripped-down Marlboro Man prose, Cormac McCarthy knows how to write a bang-up Western thriller. But when he strives for grand mythic effect in the second half...his taut, suspenseful story quickly heads south. (Grade: B)" Entertainment Weekly
"[A]n entertaining novel from one of our best writers. Often seen as a fabulist and an engineer of dark morality tales, McCarthy is first a storyteller." The Washington Post
"No Country for Old Men would easily translate to the big screen so long as Bell's tedious, long-winded monologues were left on the cutting room floor — a move that would also have made this a considerably more persuasive novel." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
In this modern-day Western--his first novel since "Cities of the Plain" completed his acclaimed, bestselling Border Trilogy--McCarthy pens a harrowing story of a war that society wages on itself, an enduring meditation of the ties of love and blood and duty that inform lives and shape destinies.
About the Author
Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island in 1933 and spent most of his childhood near Knoxville, Tennessee. He served in the U.S. Air Force and later studied at the University of Tennessee. In 1976 he moved to El Paso, Texas, where he lives today. McCarthy's fiction parallels his movement from the Southeast to the West — the first four novels being set in Tennessee, the last three in the Southwest and Mexico. The Orchard Keeper (1965) won the Faulkner Award for a first novel; it was followed by Outer Dark (1968), Child of God (1973), Suttree (1979), Blood Meridian (1985), All the Pretty Horses, which won both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award for fiction in 1992, and The Crossing and Cities of the Plain, which completes The Border Trilogy.

You may associate pneumonia with the melodrama of a soap opera: prolonged hospital stays, oxygen tents, and family members whispering in bedside huddles. It's true that pneumonia can be serious. But more often pneumonia is an infection that can be easily treated at home without a hospital stay.
Pneumonia (pronounced: noo-mow-nyuh) is an infection of the lungs. When someone has pneumonia, lung tissue can fill with pus and other fluid, which makes it difficult for oxygen in the lung's air sacs to reach the bloodstream. With pneumonia, a person may have difficulty breathing and have a cough and fever; occasionally, chest or abdominal pain and vomiting are symptoms, too.
Pneumonia is commonly caused by viruses, such as the influenza virus (flu) and adenovirus. Other viruses, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), are common causes of pneumonia in young children and infants.
Bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae can cause pneumonia, too. People with bacterial pneumonia are usually sicker than those with viral pneumonia, but can be effectively treated with antibiotic medications.
You might have heard the terms "double pneumonia" or "walking pneumonia." Double pneumonia simply means that the infection is in both lungs. It's common for pneumonia to affect both lungs, so don't worry if your doctor says this is what you have — it doesn't mean you're twice as sick.
Walking pneumonia refers to pneumonia that is mild enough that you may not even know you have it. Walking pneumonia (also called atypical pneumonia because it's different from the typical bacterial pneumonia) is common in teens and is often caused by a tiny microorganism, Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Like the typical bacterial pneumonia, walking pneumonia also can be treated with antibiotics.
Many symptoms are associated with pneumonia; some of them, like a cough or a sore throat, are also common with other common infections. Often, people get pneumonia after they've had an upper respiratory tract infection like a cold.
Symptoms of pneumonia can include:
Symptoms vary from person to person, and few people get all of them.
When pneumonia is caused by bacteria, a person tends to become sick quickly and develops a high fever and has difficulty breathing. When it's caused by a virus, symptoms generally appear more gradually and might be less severe.
Someone's symptoms can help the doctor identify the type of pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumoniae, for example, often causes headaches, sore throats, and rash in addition to the symptoms listed above.
The routine vaccinations that most people receive as kids help prevent certain types of pneumonia and other infections. If you have a chronic illness, such as sickle cell disease, you may have received additional vaccinations and disease-preventing antibiotics to help prevent pneumonia and other infections caused by bacteria.
People with diseases that affect their immune system (like diabetes, HIV infection, or cancer), are 65 or older, or are in other high-risk groups should receive a pneumococcal vaccination. They also may receive antibiotics to prevent pneumonia that can be caused by organisms they're especially susceptible to. In some cases, antiviral medication might be used to prevent viral pneumonia or to lessen its effects.
Doctors recommend that everyone 6 months and older gets a flu vaccine. That's because pneumonia often happens as a complication of the flu. Call your doctor's office to see when these vaccines are available.
Because pneumonia is often caused by germs, a good way to prevent it is to keep your distance from anyone you know who has pneumonia or other respiratory infections. Use separate drinking glasses and eating utensils; wash your hands frequently with warm, soapy water; and avoid touching used tissues and paper towels.
You also can stay strong and help avoid some of the illnesses that might lead to pneumonia by eating as healthily as possible, getting a minimum of 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night, and not smoking.
The length of time between exposure and feeling sick (called the incubation period) depends on many factors, particularly the type of pneumonia involved.
With influenza pneumonia, for example, someone may become sick as soon as 12 hours or as long as 3 days after exposure to the flu virus. But with walking pneumonia, a person may not have symptoms until 2 to 3 weeks after becoming infected.
Most types of pneumonia resolve within a week or two, although a cough can linger for several weeks more. In severe cases, it may take longer to completely recover.
If you think you may have pneumonia, tell a parent or other adult and be sure you see a doctor. Be especially aware of your breathing; if you have chest pain or trouble breathing or if your lips or fingers look blue, you should go to a doctor's office or to a hospital emergency department right away.
If pneumonia is suspected, the doctor will perform a physical exam and might order a chest X-ray and blood tests. People with bacterial or atypical pneumonia will probably be given antibiotics to take at home. The doctor also will recommend getting lots of rest and drinking plenty of fluids.
Some people with pneumonia need to be hospitalized to get better — usually babies, young kids, and people older than 65. However, hospital care may be needed for a teen who:
When pneumonia patients are hospitalized, treatment might include intravenous (IV) antibiotics (delivered through a needle inserted into a vein) and respiratory therapy (breathing treatments).
Antiviral medications approved for adults and teens can reduce the severity of flu infections if taken in the first 1 to 2 days after symptoms begin. They're usually prescribed for teens who have certain underlying illnesses such as asthma or who have pneumonia or breathing difficulty.
If you have been exposed to influenza and you begin to develop symptoms of pneumonia, call a doctor.
If your doctor has prescribed medicine, be sure to follow the directions carefully.
You may feel better in a room with a humidifier, which increases the moisture in the air and soothes irritated lungs. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids, especially if you have a fever. If you have a fever and feel uncomfortable, ask the doctor whether you can take over-the-counter medicine such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to bring it down. But don't take any medicine without checking first with your doctor — a cough suppressant, for example, may not allow your lungs to clear themselves of mucus.
And finally, be sure to rest. This is a good time to sleep, watch TV, read, and lay low. If you treat your body right, it will repair itself and you'll be back to normal in no time.

Big Block Lifts Creighton Past Arkansas in NCAA Opener
Opening Statement:
"Arkansas is a great team and we knew coming in that we would be in for a battle and we talked to the players. I think every coach in this four-person pod told their team you can lose to any team and you can beat any team. I know Robbie (Arkansas head coach Robert Pulliza) and I talked about that last night and that was the case; obviously, the match could have gone either way. I thought in the first game we got off to a quick start and we talked about it in the locker room as a team; (it) could be us, (or) could be them (that) would get off to a quick start. Nerves play a factor and what I thought is that our nerves set in midway through game one when Arkansas made that run. I thought we got tentative and (we) had zero blocks and blocking is a key part of our defense. After game one we challenged them to relax, be aggressive and play our game. I thought our blocking was really the difference in the match; (it) took over the match and that led to our defense being able to play behind it. Great win for these young women, Arkansas is a very-well coached team and has some spectacular players and we were fortunate enough to come out with a win tonight."
On the difference between the first set and the last three:
"I always think these guys follow a game plan so well. We felt like we had pretty good percentages of where Arkansas was going to go and so we were able to get doubles. The fact is, you could lose two next to each other and it's tough to get around. We have some good blockers on our team. It wasn't a technique thing. I don't think I ever talked about technique."
On what the keys in the win were, and her thoughts on getting off to a fast start:
"That's been an Achilles' heel for us this year. It didn't have anything to do with me. I think we did come out strong and once we do get that lead, we get into a rhythm. I can always tell when we're in a rhythm and when we're losing a rhythm. For most of the night, we were in that rhythm and when we lost it we did a great job of getting it back."
On the difference of being loose in the game:
"Arkansas swings hard every time they go up. I mean, they have some kids that just rocket balls so our defense needed to be lower on contact so they weren't popping up to the ball. They needed to be as low as possible to give them as much time to move and I thought we did a good job of that. I think our block had a huge part in that, as soon as you close then you limit the area of the court they can hit around. I thought Kate Elman did a great job of once that block was closed, getting a hard angle because we knew both their outsides had that hard-angle shot and Kate sometimes likes to cheat. So we kept saying 'get your butt on that sideline' and she did it and I thought she did a great job."
On facing either Kansas or Wichita State:
"The interesting thing with the three of us is we all know each other. We talked about it in the locker room, both the teams we could end up playing are fantastic teams. Wichita State has one of the best setters in the country, highly active; one of the best middles in the country and we were in the same league with them. We played them earlier in the year and we know Wichita inside and out, just as they know us inside and out. KU has such offensive parity. I just think they've got weapons all over the place. They have a lot of seniors, led by Caroline Jarmoc. You guys may think a different kid but they also have local kids from Omaha so that even makes it bigger that our players know a lot of their players. We're excited to play either team and I think it's nice that we can go out there and be totally focused. This team is really cognitive so they'll be locked in to what's going on and making sure they're really paying attention during the next match so we can figure out their rhythm and be ready to go tomorrow night."
On how close this team is to reaching its full potential:
"I think we can play better; I look at a couple things, I think that's natural. Volleyball is a game of errors. We did a lot of good things tonight but I look at a couple of positions and think they didn't have their best night. I know what they're capable of doing and we've talked about it. Our strength is our offensive parity; we've got great hitters all over the place and we're going to be very tough if everyone peaks at the same time. Two of our key players had great nights tonight and that's going to lead to success and the hope is we're doing that everywhere. I think the key to tomorrow night is serving and passing regardless of who we play. KU and Wichita are really lethal so we're going to have to be really good at the fundamentals of volleyball tomorrow night to be successful."
Creighton junior MB Kelli Browning
On the difference between the first set and the last three:
"I know that from a middle standpoint Lauren Smith and I were saying we need to be a lot more vocal out there with blocking. I think we picked that up in the second set and I think that made a big difference."
On what she was seeing out on the floor and where she thought she could attack the Arkansas defense:
"Our defense behind us did a great job. Michelle Sicner was putting up great balls for us and really ran a great offense. Yes, Leah and I played well tonight but those accolades go to the entire team, not just us two."
On what it means to advance to the second round for the second-straight year:
"I mean this is huge for us and we're so excited. I think you could see our excitement on the court when we ended. Words can't describe it. We were in this position last year and we know how it felt to lose this next game, so I think it's that much more motivating for us."
On what was going through her mind trailing late in the fourth set:
"I think Kate Elman said 'Let's finish this in four' and we knew we had to put up a big block to do that. Our defense had to work hard behind us and we were all just on the same page. It was an awesome feeling to see the team come together at that moment."
On if she can still see the team's goal of reaching the Sweet 16:
"Absolutely. We have that goal board up in our locker room that we see every day and even before this game we said let's show what we've been working for all year. This win was so great and Arkansas was a great team. It was a great win, but I think we're ready for the next step."
On how close this team is to reaching its full potential:
"I don't think by any means that this was our best game ever or the best that we can play, but I think we're getting there and this is the time of the season to peak. I think we're making the right steps to get there."
Creighton junior OH Leah McNary
On what she was seeing out on the floor and where she thought she could attack the Arkansas defense:
"I think that the biggest part was Michelle (Sincer) giving us some great balls. I know (head coach) Kirsten (Bernthal Booth) tells us to go up and swing hard and I think that's what Kelli (Browning) and I were doing."
On what it means to advance to the second round for the second-straight year:
"I think we knew we were going to have to work hard to win, but I think we wanted to show people what we're about."
On what was going through her mind trailing late in the fourth set:
"I think we do better at crunch time so we played really well together at the end."
On how close this team is to reaching their full potential:
"I think a key point to say is peaking at the right time and I think that we are. We have a special team and I think that we could go far in the tournament if we play together and work hard."
Arkansas head coach Robert Pulliza
On Creighton winning 3-1 to advance to the Second Round:
"They had better plays than us. That's what it takes to advance. You have to actually get it in the end and they did a really good job, so congrats to them."
Arkansas senior S Raymariely Santos
On what she was feeling after being on the Razorback team for four years:
"Being here for four years, my last two years we've made it to the NCAA Tournament and it's the most amazing feeling ever. These girls give their hardest and they work really hard every day to give us, the seniors, what we wanted to accomplish. We obviously wanted more, but I'm proud of them and I know Coach is going to get them going so we can make a round next year."
Arkansas senior L/DS Emily Helm
On what she hopes for her teammates in the future:
"I just think we've set the standard; just making the (NCAA) Tournament isn't where we need to be now. They need to realize we need to advance and we didn't do it this year. But I think we (the senior class) instilled in them our work ethic and hopefully they'll carry that on, keep working hard, and they have a bright future."

With introductions by Pierre Sarraf (director Né à Beyrouth) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lebanon, and more specifically Beirut, still conjure two very dichotomous and cliché images in the West: either the lamented former glory of the pearl of the Middle East, or the atrocities of a 15-year protracted civil war. With the media saturation of the recent war between Israel and Hizbullah still fresh, and the shaky promise of a brittle ceasefire, Lebanon once again risks to fall prey to stereotyping. In defiance of the war and in solidarity with the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon, De Balie organises an evening of films, documentaries and videos by Lebanese makers, in collaboration with the Lebanese production house and film festival Né à Beyrouth. The selection of films are testimony to the resistance of Lebanese artists to a historical and cultural amnesia, and show that being rooted in contemporary Lebanon is as much a commemoration of an untold past, as it is a reflection on and of the present.
With thanks to: Pierre Sarraf (Né à Beyrouth), Joanna Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige, Celluloid Dreams, Akram Zaatari, and other participating artists. Ticket sale donated to humantiarian relief causes in Lebanon.

Free Press
This summer and fall you are invited to contribute to the creation of
an open-access publishing house, a "Free Press," to be launched at
Röda Sten contemporary art center in Göteborg, Sweden. A project of
artist Sal Randolph, Free Press will accept all kinds of writing from
the public; contributions in any language can be as short as a single
word or as long as an encyclopedia and can include manifestos,
statements, documentations, studies, stories, recipes, poems and
whatever you can imagine.
"Even in the age of the internet, book publishing is a walled garden
where editors and commercial interests filter out most of what is
written," says Randolph. "To publish is to 'make public,' and the
published materials of the world create their own kind of public
space, a city of books where readers and writers are citizens. Free
Press aims to open up access to that public space. Like any city,
Free Press is bound to include both ugliness and beauty, though the
definitions of each will certainly differ."
All participating manuscripts will be published as printed books in
the Free Press series, available in the project's library and reading
room at Röda Sten, where events and discussions will also take place.
Additional copies will be placed on shelves in local bookstores and
libraries. Readers will be able to download copies from the website
and order them at cost from an internet book printer.
Free Press builds on several earlier projects by the artist -- in
particular, Free Words, where 3000 copies of a free book were
infiltrated onto the shelves of bookstores and libraries by a
worldwide network of volunteers, Opsound, a gift economy of music,
and Free Biennial/Free Manifesta, in which the form of an art
biennale was appropriated and ...

Navy Dance Team Greets Honor Flight Veterans
Posted on: October 21, 2013 08:00 EDT by Midshipman 1st Class Kellie Hall
Midshipmen participation in the widely known Honor Flight Program has increased this semester. The women of the Naval Academy Dance Team arrived at Baltimore Washington International Airport Oct. 19 for the first time to greet three incoming Honor Flights.
The Honor Flight Network facilitates visits to Washington, D.C. for World War II, Korean, and Vietnam War veterans to see their national monuments. Midshipmen and other service members in the area help commemorate these veterans by greeting and cheering them on as they debark from their flights upon arrival.
Greeting the veterans is a truly rewarding experience for both parties involved and is a chance to recognize the veterans for their continual service – something the ladies of Navy Dance wanted to take part in. Only two of the twelve ladies had participated in the program before and understood its impact.
"What this experience meant to me was beyond words. I felt honored to be in the presence of these brave service members and to shake their hands. They are true patriots," said Midshipman 1st Class Gabriela Scherer.
Scherer later approached the Navy Dance Team about partaking in the program at some point this semester, and Team Captain Midshipman 1st Class Shanon Lavin made the arrangements.
"It allowed us to bond as a sisterhood over something that is bigger than ourselves," said Lavin.
Seeing the faces of so many veterans helped the women realize the impact taking part in the service can have. It helped to motivate and revitalize the spirits of the underclassmen on the team as they struggle to adjust to life here at the Naval Academy.
"This reminded me why I came to the Naval Academy," said Midshipman 4th Class Suzanne Bigley. "It is really easy to get caught up in the silly plebe requirements and the stress of school, but seeing the veterans from WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War reminded me how I came to serve my country and to hopefully become like them someday."
Their genuine love for the country and their service was so admirable and inspirational that it's something I will never forget," said Bigley.
The experience had a similar effect on Midshipman 4th Class Nicole Kim.
"Each of them greeted me and thanked me for coming with tear-filled eyes and all I could think about was how thankful I was to be in the presence of those who have gone before me," said Kim.
Overall, their attendance on Saturday was a huge to success to both the program and to the women involved.
"It brought more of a sense of purpose to the life path that I have chosen," said Lavin.

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.
The perfect match - paint mixing
Finding the right combination of colours to match your home and personal taste is essential, but it can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

People continue to rebuild their lives five months after Typhoon Haiyan struck the coast on November 8, 2013, leaving more than 6000 dead and many more homeless. Although many businesses and services are functioning, electricity and housing continue to be the main issues, with many residents still living in temporary housing conditions due to 'No Build' areas preventing them from rebuilding their homes. This week marks Holy Week across the Philippines and will see many people attending religious activities. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)

Smartphone users who find themselves in the vicinity of dangerous weather will get a text message from the National Weather Service. The NWS's new Wireless Emergency Alerts system is designed to get weather warnings to those not plugged into television or radio. Warnings will be delivered for impending rough weather due to tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, flash floods, extreme winds, blizzards, and ice and dust storms.
The free text messages will be less than 90 characters and sent to later-model smartphones including the Apple iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2, HTC One S, HTC One X, HTC One V, LG Optimus L7 as well as the Optimus L5 . The message will sound a special alert and then vibrate. Exactly which phone models will have system access is not yet known.
According to Amy Storey, spokeswoman for CTIA-The Wireless Association (the trade group that helped set up the system), "These alerts will make sure people are aware of any impending danger and provide them with the information needed so they can be safe until the threat is over."
Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile will offer the service nationwide. To start, AT&T will only offer it in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Portland, Oregon but plans to add additional markets soon. Apple will support the service this fall. It's not yet certain if older iPhones will get the text warnings.

The United States of America should be real happy and excited now with all the prospective launches lining up. Almost five months of this year still remaining and the prospects are booming. There are a whole lot of smartphones still lined up for the launch and added to it are the new upgraded versions of the much loved Motorola milestone Unlocked Android Phone and the Windows. And to provide for the icing on the cake, Verizon is all set to launch their brand new LTE network. According to the reports of the documents that were leaked recently to Engadget, the LTE network which is slated to come to the market promises the users with a download speed that can vary between five to over eleven megabit for every second and an upload speed of over two and below five megabits for every second. It has a latency of a jaw dropping thirty milliseconds.
All these make a lethal combination and no wonder it is highly anticipated. In comparison to the networks provided by T-Mobiles and Sprint it will have a huge and far superior advantage. This might not hit you with surprise if you have been following Verizon for it is an operator which concentrates and invests heavily in on their networking implementations rather than anything else. The costs and prices that come along side these schemes can be obscenely high but they provide for a very excellent network coverage and you end up getting good reception almost everywhere. The USB modems will be the foremost devices to launch alongside this network as is usual. LTE smartphone launch seems to be a far cry but it will come by anyway. There are some arguments as to how operators will offer voice services.
Although the OneVoice initiative is getting backed vehemently by the industry, one can debate over their operating inside jungles and when in the wild. However the most interesting part of the whole deal is the SIM card branded by Verizon which puts in question the purity of the LTE network.

LIVE BLOG: Hempstead Town Hall meetingScope approved; Developers deliver D.G.E.I.S.
1:10 pm – At the conclusion of today's hearing, the D.G.E.I.S. (Draft Generic Environmental Impact Study) was delivered by the Lighthouse developers. I'm told the document is 1,800 pages.
Traditionally, after a scope is accepted – as it was today by the TOH board – developers take months before delivering a D.G.E.I.S. Charles Wang and Scott Rechler's group produced it immediately.
Today's hearing was a positive step, a good day for the developers and the Town. Plenty of bouquets were passed back and forth.
Will it lead to groundbreaking this summer? No way to know right now. But the immediate delivery of the D.G.E.I.S. means this: it's back to you, Town of Hempstead leaders.
12:20 pm – So far, citizen speakers, including impassioned blogger/PB comment-ator Nick Classic, have addressed the Town Board. All have been pro-Lighthouse Project.
12:00 pm – Charles Wang just completed a brief but energetic stint at the mic. He thanked Kate Murray for fast-tracking the environmental studies.
He did add that if the Lighthouse Project had been approved when he first pushed for it years ago, thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of much-needed tax revenue would already be in place.
Wang said, "This is not adversarial" and that his staff will do everything in their power to work with the Town in a timely and cooperative manner.
Scott Rechler urged the Town board to act "with a sense of urgency" in these economic times. He cited Congress trying to push through "in two months what would normally take 20 years."
The Town's response has been that they agree with the need for urgency "but we need to make sure this is done the right way."
Rechler: "When you see our studies, I think you'll be pleased with the level of detail and attention we put into them." Rechler said his development group has spent more than 10 million dollars on those studies."
11:15 am – The Town of Hempstead meeting started 30 minutes ago, but they have not addressed the Lighthouse yet. I'm in the crowded Hall and on Blackberry. Here's all you need to know so far:
Charles Wang is here. Scott Rechler is here. Kate Murray, Hempstead Town Supervisor, is not. I'm told she is on vacation.
Comments on the Lighthouse in this thread.


text: crackedacuradash 5pts I own a 5 year old Acura TL and would NEVER BUY Acura again. All of the 04-06 TLs have huge cracks down the middle of the dashboard in the exact same spot. It's so bad there is a Facebook Group just for the issue and local news stories. It is a safety issue since the cracks all go right over the passenger airbag. Yet, Acura refuses to fix the problem. They have offered to fix it for the "discounted" price of ONLY $1,050! Acura does not care about their customers.

Despite the fact the last minute of the Castle Country Business Market took place only a couple of weeks ago, the committee that is helping to plan for next year is already busy making plans.
While the event, which was held at the Carbon County Events Center, was considered a success, one of the things the committee wants to do is to let the public know that the event is about them and not about a bunch of businesses just getting together.
The committee discussed a name change which will place a better monicker on the event such as the Castle County Marketplace, the Business Fair Extravaganza and the Family Shoppers Mall. The point they want to make is that the fair is for consumers.
For next year it appears the fair, whatever the name might be, will be held in mid-October, on a Friday and Saturday. It will feature fun for kids, entertainment, food for the whole family and bargains from local businesses. There will also be classes about business for businesses and the public on Friday before the fair opens for the weekend.
The fair committee is also looking at putting on publci workshops on cooking, music, outdoors, home improvement and personal investing.
Entertainment will also once again be on tap as well as some other activities that will generate excitement in the community.
There was even a discussion about talking with Price City concerning having the last week of the Farmers Market at the center rather than on 100 East that weekend.
A few more meetings will be held in the next year to solidify the ideas and venues for the fair.

Trial of Vasopressin and Epinephrine to Epinephrine Only for In-Hospital Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
Cardiac arrest has a very poor prognosis, especially with prolonged efforts at resuscitation, and unfortunately, survivors are often severely neurologically impaired. CPA in children is often the result of a prolonged illness rather than a sudden, primary cardiac event as is frequent in adults. This necessitates that resuscitation research must be conducted separately for pediatric and adult patients. Authorities currently endorse the use of epinephrine for restoring spontaneous circulation based on its ability to maintain diastolic blood pressure and subsequent blood flow to the heart during resuscitation. However, human studies have shown no clear survival benefit of epinephrine and have elucidated concerning adverse effects. Recently, both the European Resuscitation Council and the American Heart Association have recognized the use of vasopressin as a promising vasoconstrictor and an alternative or adjunct to epinephrine in the resuscitation of adults. Vasopressin causes profound vasoconstriction without the adverse effects of epinephrine and is associated with improved blood flow to the heart and brain. This increased cerebral blood flow has been associated with better neurologic outcome in animal studies. In light of compelling animal and human studies of combined vasopressin and epinephrine, pediatric trials are indicated for vasopressin usage in pediatric CPR. This study will evaluate the addition of the administration of vasopressin to standard advanced CPR therapy (epinephrine alone) for pediatric patients that experience in-intensive care unit CPA to assess for improved time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival to 24 hours, survival to hospital discharge, and neurologic outcome. When a patient experiences a CPA, standard Pediatric Advanced Life Saving (PALS) protocols as endorsed by the American Heart Association will be initiated. This will include receiving epinephrine as the first vasopressor medication. Patients will then be randomized to receive vasopressin (treatment group) or epinephrine (control group) as the second vasopressor medication, if needed. If more then two doses of vasopressor medication is required in either group, epinephrine will be administered according to the PALS algorithm until the end of the event. All CPA events meeting inclusion criteria will be entered into the National Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (NRCPR) Database, which tracts all CPA events at Children's Medical Center Dallas. Prior to commencement of the RCT, a pilot trial of 10 patients will be completed to assess preliminary safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of combination epinephrine-vasopressin for pediatric in-intensive care unit CPA refractory to initial epinephrine dosing. All pilot patients will receive vasopressin as the second vasopressor medication.
