The positive momentum surrounding the UK men's basketball team since the season-ending NIT loss in March hit a bump Tuesday with top-ranked recruit Andrew Wiggins' commitment to Kansas, but expectations for next season are still skyrocketing.
With six McDonald's All-Americans coming to campus and two possible first-round picks returning for a sophomore season, UK has established itself as the odds-on favorite to win the 2014 national championship. Some fans have gone as far as to suggest the Wildcats might be the first team to finish a season undefeated since the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers.
Is the UK head coach shying away from 40-0 talk?
"I'm not sitting there saying, 'If we lose a game, it's not a successful season,' No," John Calipari said Wednesday at his first news conference since the end of the 2012-13 season. "But you're chasing greatness. What's wrong with that?"
Sports betting website Bovada has given UK 5-to-1 odds to win the championship, even after Wiggins committed to Kansas.
The Cats' chances of finishing undefeated are likely diminished regardless of the talent on the roster as UK faces both the No. 3 (Louisville) and No. 4 (Michigan State) most likely teams to win the 2014 tittle according to Bovada's odds.
Many of UK's most difficult games come early in the season when players might still be learning how to play with one another. The Cats meet Michigan State in the Champion's Classic in Chicago in the third game of the regular season. UK then faces Providence, Baylor, Boise State and Louisville in December.
"It may be ugly early, and we're playing good teams early," Calipari said. "Through January we may not be a very good team. The point is, by the end f the year, we have the talent, the size, the toughness, the skill set."
Calipari will also need to some of his young players to step up as leaders following a season in which he acknowledged the will-to-win was lacking at times. He reiterated that point Wednesday noting that when the coach has to take full leadership responsibility "your team can never have the success you want."
Several of the incoming recruits will arrive on campus with the reputation of being on-the-court leaders who will not settle for losing, but Calipari stopped short of saying the roster will be dominated by those type of "alpha males."
"We don't have as many as you think," he said. "This team will have maybe two. But that's OK. What happens is, when you have multiple (alpha males), which we had on my team two years ago, different guys can lead at different points in the year."
At least one UK player has a theory for how the Cats can increase their will-to-win across the board.
"Everything we do has to be win or lose," said sophomore forward Willie Cauley-Stein. "Everything we have to do has got to have a consequence if you lose, and if you win you get praise for it.
"That's the way that it's got to be coming into it. That's what's going to create that dog in you to try and go out and just kill somebody."
Of course the presence of multiple alpha male personalities on the roster also leads to questions about blending those personalities together for the good of the team.
Calipari is no stranger to getting players to take on smaller roles than might be expected for a prospect with the reputation of most of his recruits.
"More than any team I've had, shared sacrifice is going to matter in this group, and they knew that coming here," he said. "I told every one of them, 'If you want to shoot 30 balls a game, you don't come here. If you want to be the only guy that's playing, the one guy that everybody's talking about, you wouldn't come here.'
"I think again, it's been laid out for them. Now the question is, will we all have patience? Will I have the patience? There's no choice."
And while the need for that patience may diminish any realistic shot at an undefeated season, Calipari made no attempt to downplay the idea that this team could be special, even by UK standards.
"I don't mind a little pressure," he said. "I've had it my whole career. I've had the gun to my head for 20-something years. And you know what? I'm at my best with the gun is to my head versus, 'OK, I'm good, I can kick back.' I'm not as good. And you know what? Players are the same."

In response to a discussion on HEM-Networking about compliance and over-compliance with public authorities who sometimes request more than the law allows, Helen Hegener posted the following from the HEM website.Â
The final paragraph reminded me of the developing trend of public schooling for the children who were called when I was little, "threes and fours." We now know them as preschoolers, and will probably soon be calling them "pre-kays" (Pre-Ks).

What seems to escape even the most thoughtful homeschooler is the fact that, at some point in time, someone had to challenge the law and homeschool their kids. No doubt they did so illegally. No doubt they were radical, reactionary, and rebellious. But without that first purposeful step, none of us would be homeschooling our children today–legally or otherwise. We need to look down the road to ten or fifteen years from now and try to imagine what the homeschooling atmosphere will be like then. Will homeschooling families enjoy the freedom to simply live with their children? Or will homeschooling have become a bureaucratic nightmare, with volumes of regulations and guidelines? The choice is ours.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.Â

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
I have great respect for the institution of the U.S. Supreme Court, though I absolutely reject the notion that President Obama's health care law is constitutional simply because Congress has the power to tax the American people. As important as all of the legalese in the Court's opinion, however, is a constant refrain of common sense among the Chief Justice's words: elections have consequences.
Chief Justice John Roberts lays this out clearly in the Court's opinion. He writes: "It is not our (the Court's) job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices." And he's right.
It's not the Court's job to protect us from our own bad decisions. It's our job to protect ourselves. We must be informed voters and support those candidates with whom we agree. As Americans, we do not want an activist judiciary that substitutes its will for the will of people. The Supreme Court this week rejected a degree of judicial activism, saying in effect: "You voted for it, America; live with it."
In 2010, the American people answered the call to protect themselves from federal government coercion, and they sent nearly 100 new members to the U.S. House of Representatives with a specific mandate to control the size and scope of the federal government so that individual Americans could once again enjoy the freedom and liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. Since I took office in January 2011, I have worked hard to make that mandate a reality. Unfortunately, with respect to the nationalizing of health care decisions, the die was cast in 2008, and despite dozens of successful votes that I have cast in the House over the past 18 months that have repealed the president's health care bill in whole or in part, those bills have been ignored by the Senate and White House.
To be clear, I know that our health care system is in trouble in America. Costs are rising too fast and access is too limited, but a one-size-fits-all solution from Washington has made the problems worse. Costs are rising even faster now, and millions of Americans face losing their health insurance when the President's bill is fully enacted. We must get businesses and governments out of health care decisions, and we must return these decisions to families and doctors. If there are aspects of the President's health care bill that you like or that you think will help America, know this: there isn't one line of the President's reforms that Georgia couldn't adopt and implement on its own. That is the point: we don't need Washington to know best; we have the power right here in Georgia.
The Court didn't uphold the president's health care bill because it is good policy; it upheld the bill because it decided that Congress's power to tax is so big and broad that it can be stretched to include the president's health care mandate. In the Court's opinion, Chief Justice Roberts writes, "Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation's elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them."
In 1773, 342 chests of tea belonging to the British East India Company were tossed into the Boston Harbor. This protest over unreasonable taxation and the abuse of absolute power by Parliament over the colonies sparked the American Revolution. Our Founding Fathers knew firsthand how the power to tax could so easily be misused to exploit citizens and destroy liberty. It saddens me today to know that while 239 years have passed since that fateful night in Boston, the American people will once again have to fight this time from the ballot box for our right of freedom.
But that is a battle that I'm ready to stand with you and fight; and together, we will repeal this law and restore the liberty that so many brave Americans have pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to defend.
Rob Woodall is a U.S. Representative from Lawrenceville.

There is a sacred trust that we grant our elected Representatives When that trust is broken we are duty bound to replace them through the elective process and by so doing we protect the Republic and our Constitution. The enjoyment of Liberty requires vigilance and participation by the voters. The way this legislation was passed and pressed upon us should harden our will to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but this will not be easy and unless we make a stand the tyranny of the Federal Government through its ability to tax us, the citizens, will bring an end to our Republic. This ruling reinforces the power of the vote in a democratic Republic. The question we must ask ourselves is: "Are we, the citizens, willing to participate in governing and exercise our voting right?"
NewsReader 3 years, 3 months ago
Woodall is right. My question is "Do the people have the wherewithal to vote for what is in the best interest of the country, or are they so caught up in their own short-sighted self-serving agendas that they could care less how their vote impacts anyone but them?" From the outcome of the last Presidential elections, I seriously doubt it. Elections do have consequences and we are living them right now.

Rob Woodall could not be more wrong in his assessment if he actually tried to be wrong. Rob agrees with Chief Justice John Roberts statement; "It is not our (the Court's) job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices." Rob wrote; "And he's right." Well no he's not right.
Robert's just managed to legislate from the bench. All Robert's is supposed to do is determine what is constitutional and vote accordingly to protect the people from an out of control Congress.
It is not a tax, it is a fine a penalty. There is no requirement for your to purchase Obamacare, but it you don't you will be fined.
Rob Woodall is one of the Big Spending Republicans in Congress. Last week alone he voted YES for H.R. 5972, the FY 2013 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations bill. According to the Appropriations Committee report, excluding the estimated offsetting receipts, the THUD bill would increase spending by $1.44 billion compared to last year. Only when including estimated offsetting receipts, which are mostly payments made by borrowers to the Federal Housing Administration, is the bill a net reduction in the cost of THUD this year compared to last year. CBO estimates that these offsetting receipts will increase from $5.8 billion to $11.2 billion, due to lower anticipated defaults on loans. The following spending increases in the THUD bill for items conservatives have traditionally opposed are of note:
Ø Amtrak: $1.8 billion—which is $384 million (27%) above last year.
Ø Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority (the DC metro): $150 million—the same as last year and $15 million (11%) more than the President's request.
Ø Essential Air Service: $214 million, including fee collections—the same as President's request, and $21 million (or 11%) above last year.
Ø Tenant-Based Rental Assistance: $19.1 billion—which is $60 million more than the President's request and $219.9 million more than last year.
Ø Community Development Block Grant: $3.34 billion—which is $396 million (13.5%) more than both last year and the President's request.
Ø Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation: $225.3 million—which is $10 million more than last year and $12.3 million more than the request.
Rob Woodall since being elected to the House has participated in the largest growth of government in history. $1.9 trillion over the past two years. Rob is a Republican hack.
Jeffincher 3 years, 3 months ago
Roberts is right. It is the people's job in a Constitutional Republic is to protect themselves from their elected officials. The 16th amendment is the flash point and the ever growing Federal Government fashioned under the commerce clause is the source of our current problem. My opinion is that Chief Justice Roberts ruled properly given the current constitutional landscape. As much I wanted the court to strike down ACA, to have done so would have damaged the court and diminished the constitutional principle of separation of powers.
I believe your comments concerning Rob are out of frustration and not thought out. Rob is 1/435 of the Congressional body. I understand your expectations, I share them. I would like Rob to lead. He is gifted and very well placed for a freshman on Rules and Budget. I have no doubt that the 7th will return him to Congress, but the 7th needs him to be bold and independent from the Speaker. This has been the source of my frustration.
BillEvelyn 3 years, 3 months ago
Rob can't be bold and independent. He is a product of government. They guy has absolutely no accomplishments outside of government. He is one of the agents in the Matrix that enforces the code.

Everybody has an opinion on last week's Supreme Court decision, but I was particularly disappointed by the editorial that appeared from my Congressman, Rob Woodall. His main take-away from the ruling was that elections have consequences, and he states that "It's not the Court's job to protect us from our own bad decisions."
But, Congressman, it is the Court's job to protect us from unconstitutional legislation.
The problem is that the Affordable Care Act was not passed as a tax. The administration still refuses to admit that it is a tax. Yet the Congressman (and the Chief Justice) decided to let that little fact slide.
Rather than quote the opinion written with the help of Ginsberg, Sotomayor and Kagan as Congressman Woodall has done, I believe that it is vital to heed the warnings in the dissent from Scalia, Thomas, and Alito:
"To say that the Individual Mandate merely imposes a tax is not to interpret the statute, but to rewrite it. Judicial tax-writing is particularly troubling... the Constitution requires tax increases to originate in the House of Representatives. That is to say, they must originate in the legislative body most accountable to the people, where legislators must weigh the need for the tax against the terrible price they might pay at their next election, which is never more than two years off."
The conservative justices go on to say that "The values that should have determined our course today are caution, minimalism, and the understanding that the Federal Government is one of limited powers. But the Court's ruling undermines those values at every turn."
Congressman Woodall states that he was sent to Washington "... with a specific mandate to control the size and scope of the federal government so that individual Americans could once again enjoy the freedom and liberty guaranteed by the Constitution." But since the Republicans gained control of the House in the 2010 election the total debt has increased by $1.8 trillion and the federal government has grown almost exponentially. And I see no signs of it slowing.
Congress is quickly becoming obsolete, and unless we elect Representatives who will move immediately to actively defend the powers given to them by the Constitution (and loudly challenge the claims made by the other branches) our country is in grave peril. The conservative justices, at least, understand this, and gave us the following warning:
"The fragmentation of power produced by the structure of our Government is central to liberty, and when we destroy it, we place liberty at peril. Today's decision should have vindicated, should have taught, this truth; instead, our judgment today has disregarded it."

The hostel was clean and only a 10 minute walk to the city centre; fine for a one night stay for our Faro layover. Very basic, no frills, outdated and cheap. Don't stay here if you're looking for atmosphere - they don't pretend to offer service or modern amenities. Recommended for budget travellers who just need a place to sleep :) Note that there is no A/C but the room did have a fan that we had to leave on all night.

We stayed in a twin private room for 3 nights, it was nice. Location is super, right in the center. Facilities are old, but everything works and we didn't miss anything. Fresh sheets and clean towels every day. Staff is friendly but not too friendly and that worked fine for us. We were told that Wifi doesn't work well on the third floor, but it was working quite fast on my phone. TV and bathroom in the room. Very possible to have a good long sleep. Great value for money! I would recommend!

Love 'em or hate 'em, social networks are here to stay. Over the years, many companies have entered this market. Networks like Facebook want to connect everyone, while networks like LinkedIn are aimed at business users. A new network called Businessfriend hopes to bridge the gap between the personal and professional social network.
Scott met with Glenn from Businessfriend. Glenn explained that Businessfriend is a "one-stop shop" for social networking and collaboration tools. Businessfriend users can do standard social-network stuff like follow the feeds of friends, colleagues and brands. But Businessfriend users can also access tools like instant messaging, video chat, audio chat and cloud-based document collaboration. Best of all, Businessfriend is one app that can be accessed via desktop computers or iOS and Android mobile apps, allowing users to connect no matter what platform they're on.

Today, the textile industry is poisoning waterways around the world with hazardous, persistent and hormone-disrupting chemicals and treating our public waterways like private sewers. No standard currently exists that can guarantee the clothes we wear were not made using toxic chemicals.
As a campaigning organisation we are working hard, alongside millions of people around the world, to convince the textile sector to take up the Detox Challenge: by cutting its addiction to hazardous chemicals and producing quality clothing that does not poison our precious waterways.
Until brands and suppliers can prove through transparent reporting that their clothes were not made using and releasing hazardous chemicals, Greenpeace is suspending all sales of textile products. As an organisation we want to supply our supporters with t-shirts that change the world, but we will only be able to sell textiles again when the industry can produce toxic-free fashion.
For the limited amount of clothing we need to produce for campaigning purposes (activists need clothes too!) these will be made in-line with our best-in-class procurement policy that we will regularly review and update as progress on the road to toxic-free production is made.
The more brands engage on this issue and pioneer green solutions and substitutions, the sooner consumers will no longer have to worry about toxics in any of their textile products
We believe in recognising those who are progressive and clean up their act and speaking truth to those who stand in the way of a toxic-free future. If you are like us and feel passionately that fashion and pollution don't mix, then join us and sign our manifesto for toxic-free fashion.
You cannot buy a Greenpeace T-shirt for the moment. We have stopped selling all textile products until suppliers are able to provide us with transparent information proving that they are able to produce clothing using zero hazardous chemicals throughout their supply chains.
From now on, all textiles that we use for campaign purposes will adhere to our strict procurement policy. We will continue to use any textiles, for instance t-shirts, that are in our stockpile rather than let them go to waste.
While the standards of production do not match the standards we set for the industry, we urge you to keep it! The wearing of our textile products do not pose a health risk. The best way to be environmental friendly is to make it last as long as possible, so that it stays in your wardrobe and not end up in landfill.
We will now only procure textiles that have minimal environmental impact and are in line with the organisation's core values. The new Greenpeace International procurement policy applies to all cotton-based textile products that we will buy from now on. A global policy has been drafted and we assume will be agreed on at the next EDM, end of October 2012. All textiles purchased under this policy must be 100% organic, from fair-trade raw materials and have GOTS certification or at least an equivalent. Paint for printing must be toxic free and environment friendly. Anything else does not meet Greenpeace standards.
We demand fashion brands to eliminate the use and release of hazardous chemicals from their entire supply chain and products. These chemicals possess hazardous properties; they can be persistent, bio-accumulative, toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic or hormone disruptors, and pose risks for the environment and human health.
Brands often work with a large number of suppliers and hazardous chemicals are not only used and released in various stages of production, but often also end up in the clothes we wear. We demand that communities and consumers have a right to know what is going in our water and clothes - brands must disclose releases of hazardous chemicals from individual suppliers.
Since the global campaign was launched in 2011, we have secured commitments from Puma, Nike, Adidas, H&M, Li-Ning and C&A to eliminate hazardous chemicals in their products. This is a positive start, but more brands need to respond to the urgency of the situation and take ambitious action to Detox and our campaign will continue to push for positive solutions and progress in the sector.

IT WAS an interesting day at Sale on Friday, with 70 per cent of the yarding comprising of Friesian steers of varying weights, some Friesian heifers and a number of dairy-cross steers and heifers.
However, the first two lanes of steers did include a number of small drafts of Angus and Hereford steers, which although cheaper, sold reasonably well.
BG&GM Missen, Woodside, sold 32 Angus steers from $800 and $908, averaging $872.
Demand was quite good for the steer portion of Angus and Hereford breeds.
East Gippsland Livestock purchased the lion's share of these from $670-$720.
A few lighter weight steers sold from $480-$590.
Because of the number of Friesian steers yarded, buyers could pick and choose.
There were higher expectations of price than that was offered and some were not sold.
F&D Boulton, Sale, sold 49 steers from $492-$555, which were 16 months to two years of age.
Plenty of the steers were lighter weights or immature and young steers, which sold from $285-$450.
Some of the lighter weight steers sold better, pound for pound than the older ones.
Dairy cross steers also varied greatly in weight and age, the older steers selling from $580-$800.
Competition for better bred heifers was not too bad, on faltering market. Prices were mostly $470-$665.
Lightweight Angus heifers sold from $390-$450, and some crossbred heifers made to $562.
From there it was into the dairy and crossbred heifers, which sold better than similar steers, making $255-$465.
There was a small selection of cows and calves penned, which sold from $740-$1210, most were crossbred cows in plainer condition and sold well for their condition and type.

Debra-Lynn B. Hook: Speeding at school a likely way to crash
School was just letting out when we heard the sirens.
Cell phones and Facebook lit up, and within minutes everybody in our small town knew three 11th-grade girls had crashed their car in a dogwood-lined neighborhood across from the school.
As stunned students stood nearby, a medical helicopter landed in the school parking lot to transport the one passenger who was ejected from the vehicle. A second passenger and the driver were cut out of the car and transported to other hospitals.
Parents, friends and fellow students — we held our breath as we waited to hear the girls would be OK. They had multiple broken bones. They might not be dancing at prom in three weeks. But they would eventually return to normal activities — and to corroborate witness accounts making their way around town.
No, they weren't drinking and driving.
They weren't even texting and driving.
They were speeding.
And possibly racing.
Witnesses saw the girls traveling at a "very high rate of speed," in the wrong lane parallel to a second car going in the same direction on the 25-mph residential boulevard where little kids walk to and from school. As the three high-schoolers, all good students involved in multiple extracurricular activities, zoomed past the other car, they struck a median, flipped several times and slammed into a tree.
A group of parents, listening to the story unfold last week outside the tennis courts at the high school, wondered how even good students make poor choices.
"What were they thinking?" one mom said.
Chances are, they weren't. And if we adults dig back far enough, we can remember how we felt on our own sunny afternoons three weeks before prom, when we, too, had steering wheels in the grips of our immortal, unthinking hands.
Parents now, we all wish for some guarantee that a similar — or worse — fate won't befall our own children. We think they are immune if they're on student council or captain of the tennis team. But, in fact, they're not exempt from the individuating that allows teen-agers to become adults. Part of what they do — part of what they are expected to do — is test the boundaries. We just pray the boundaries aren't the edges of a cliff.
It's only been a few days since the accident. We don't yet know whether the three girls were racing, or just horsing around, or exactly how fast they were going.
What we do know is that car crashes are the No. 1 cause of death for teens, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
We also know that is that speed is a factor in more crashes involving teens than any other age group, that teen speeding increasingly involves trying to outpace another car, and racing may be on the rise because of racing video games, according to a National Young Driver Survey of 5,700 high-schoolers.
Parents all worry about their kids texting and driving. But what we may not realize is that speed can be even more of a danger. In a study of 2,300 students by SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and Liberty Mutual Insurance, students who said they had a near-miss while driving were questioned about what they were doing at the time of the incident. Seventeen percent said they were changing music; 20 percent said they were talking to a passenger; 21 percent said they were texting; and 30 percent said they were speeding.
As these things go, our community is holding a little tighter this week. Worried parents ask each other what they should do when a child wants or needs to ride with a teen driver. What if that teen has a bad driving record? When do you trust? When do you nag?
Some of us are calling for legislators to raise the driving age from 16 to 18, when the frontal cortex is a little more apt to tell a teen-ager to slow down, turn down the radio, turn off the phone.
All of us are watching a little closer.
As my 19-year-old daughter ran out the door in a hurry the other day, she yelled out to me.
"Call me, Mom! Text me!"
"Okay," I said, as I turned back to what I was doing.
Suddenly, I jumped up and ran to the door.
"Go slow. Don't text and drive!" I called out.
Maybe this was the one time she was going to make a bad choice. Maybe she was going to say to herself, "Just this once." Maybe it was my calling out that stopped her.

As long as we continue to sell weapons of war to private citizens, mentally stable or not, massacres like Aurora, Colo., will continue. No one can shoot 72 people without the aid of a weapon that is capable of firing hundreds of rounds of ammunition in a very short time.
As long as our legislators bow to the vote of getting contributions of the NRA, and we citizens allow this, more innocent will die. Outlawing the sale of weapons of war will not sacrifice any rights we are granted by the constitution. Contact your congressman while the television pictures continue to show the horror these weapons cause.

Music videos were for many years one of the most important modes of expression for musical artists, a way for artists to both further communicate their vision and gain an even greater audience. In the years since MTV stopped playing music videos - and it may be only the older among us that the M even stood for music - the popularity of the medium waned.
Video in all its forms
Now, YouTube has heralded a renaissance, and many artists are dedicating significant resources to creating new videos. Technology has allowed innovation in the realm to increase as well, allowing greater engagement with fans - something that all of those interested in webinars can learn from.
Bob Dylan's old hits are even getting an overhaul with newer, modern videos. It's been almost 50 years since his famous "Like a Rolling Stone" was released, but now it's got an interactive video, according to Mashable. The company hired a digital production agency to create the product, intended to promote the coming 47-CD box set that Columbia will be releasing soon.
It's something that businesses can learn from. Video offers an experience that text-based advertising or communication doesn't always have. Whether using video conferencing software or creating a webinar to help customers and clients, it allows for a more dynamic and illustrative relationship.
Growing the base
For its part, the interactive music video has taken off. Hard rock band The Queens of the Stone Age, for instance, recently released its own version for their song "The Vampyre of Time and Memory," hoping to create what it called "a virtual art installation." Kii Arens and Jason Trucco told NME that the new tools available to them improved the product.
"All art is technology, technology that shares an experience or an idea," they said. "'Vampyre' uses all the tools available to us today to share a meaningful common experience."
A business's efforts in video may not be intended to be art, but companies ought to use all the tools available to create that common experience. Methods such as collaboration software allows people to communicate in a way that is more natural and productive than non-stop emailing or text based communication, and webinars allow clients a more engaging experience than could likely be offered in a mere text demonstration or explanation. A company may not be able to offer something as artistic as a Bob Dylan performance - but it can certainly offer something just as useful.

In addition to being among his most vibrant and celebrated works, Vincent van Gogh's series of sunflower paintings also depict a mutation whose genetic basis has, until now, been a mystery. In a study published in PLoS Genetics, a team of University of Georgia scientists reveal the mutation behind the distinctive, thick bands of yellow "double flowers" that the post-Impressionist artist painted more than 100 years ago.
The most common sunflower trait is a composite flower head that contains a single whorl of large, flattened, yellow ray florets on the outer perimeter and hundreds to over a thousand individual, tubular, disc florets that can produce seeds. The double-flowered mutants that van Gogh depicted in many of his paintings, on the other hand, have multiple bands of yellow florets and a much smaller proportion of internal disc florets.
To understand the genetic basis of this difference, senior author John Burke, professor of plant biology in the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, and his colleagues began by using the same plant crossing techniques that Gregor Mendel, a 19th century contemporary of van Gogh, used to lay the foundation of modern genetics. The scientists crossed the common, or "wild type", variety of sunflower with the double-flowered variety, and their initial findings suggested that a single, dominant gene was responsible for creating the double-flowered mutation. Subsequent crosses of the offspring revealed that a second mutation, which is recessive to both the double-flowered mutation and the wild-type version of the gene, results in a third flower type that is intermediate in form, being elongated and yellow, but tubular and containing the reproductive structures of the interior florets.
The scientists identified the responsible gene and sequenced it to show that in the double-flowered mutation, the portion of the gene that functions as an on/off switch is disrupted, so that the instructions

After coming out, Jason Collins needs a new NBA home - 0 Comments
The coming-out part is over. Now Jason Collins needs a job.
Collins' stunning announcement that he was a gay athlete in a major sport won overwhelming support from other players, coaches and executives — even a phone call from the president.
But it also came after the season ended for the 7-foot center and his Washington Wizards.
The 34-year-old journeyman becomes a free agent on July 1 — meaning that he will first have to sign with an NBA team and wait until next season to see if teammates, coaches, opponents and fans will treat him any differently.

Ears Lowered, Pledges Raised for Kids Cancer Research
Psych-Child Life Society Spearheads St. Baldrick's Day Event
Written By Tyler Gardinier '14, PR Intern
Donations for childhood cancer research
Utica, NY (03/27/2014)- More than 175,000 children are diagnosed with cancer every year. The St. Baldrick's Foundation helps fund childhood cancer research through volunteers, supporters and more famously, haircuts.
On Friday, March 28, Utica College will host St. Baldrick's Day head-shaving event beginning at noon in the Ellen Knower Clarke Lounge in the Strebel Student Center. The brave souls participating have raised pledges that will go toward the foundation's cause.
Hosted by the Psychology-Child Life Society at the college, parents and children from the community are invited to attend and interact through a series of games and contests. Along with the head shaving, the Child-Life Society will hold a basket raffle for items donated by organizations on campus and in the Utica community.
There will also be a stage and "open mic" for anyone to express themselves through dance, songs, words of wisdom, or just reading a statistic.
The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.
To donate or get involved, contact UC student Abigail David at 347-264-9683, email@example.com or visit http://www.stbaldricks.org/teams/childlife
Anyone wishing to donate can make checks payable to The St. Baldrick's Foundation; donations can be dropped off at the event throughout the afternoon on Friday.

The best bit is at the end
April 7th, 2008 — Humour, Politics
Phillip Coorey has a humorous op-ed in today's Sydney Morning Herald about Kevin Rudd's increasing — and unrestrained — use of acronyms. Hey, I'm all for the everyday FAQ, IOU, PS, ATM and ASAP. But there is a limit to how much we should invoke acronyms, particularly in conversation. Right? Not sure? See below.
Ever since Washington, where Rudd cooly dropped the acronym CSBM (confidence- and security-building measures) during an address to foreign policy wonks at the Brookings Institution, collecting examples of what Rudd calls "geek talk" has become a trip favourite.
At the NATO summit in Bucharest, where Rudd spoke of war in terms of establishing and measuring performance benchmarks, the ABC's Louise Yaxley asked him whether the leaders had streamlined the rules of engagement that apply to the NATO soldiers.
"You mean RoEs," said Rudd.

In The Australian today, Dr Ameer Ali says enough is enough and it's time Australians got to see an alternative to the Muslim fanatics.
"Right now, the moment you say Muslims, people tend to think these guys are fanatics who are always praying and have beards. That's wrong because the majority of Muslims are not like that. We have to demolish this image – the stereotyping of the Muslims who are currently all seen as religious people."
To order to combat the destructive stereotypes identified by Dr Ali — beards, praying, etc. — young Muslims might consider attending an exciting new Muslim Leadership Training program in order to attain the necessary skills and experience to operate under the proposed model. Here is a short promotional video for the program:

Small wonder the Archbishop of Canterbury announced, just 24 hours later, that he wants sharia law in Britain. He was mocked, of course, but come on: Muslimism lets you throw apple cores onto the grass verge and swim with the dolphins and make telephone calls without having a Scottish man grunting and moaning in the background. Plus, we'd have the added benefit of being able to dismember shoplifters.
Also, though I have only a scant acquaintance with the Koran, I'm fairly certain it contains no call for motorists to be fleeced, hounded, mocked and, worst of all, held up on purpose by a swarm of power-crazed traffic wombles.

Last week, Melbourne newspaper readers were greeted by the news that a group of Arab youths had formed a gang called, of all things, Arabian Soldiers Arab Defenders and were squabbling with their rivals on the other side of the city. The story was accompanied by three gangsters of supposedly Middle Eastern appearance with their faces concealed:
"Give it tomorrow, give it a year. We will hit back 10 times harder," said Ronni, leader of northern gang ASAD or Arabian Soldiers Arab Defenders.
Let's face it, nothing says "tough guy" quite like a paisley handkerchief wrapped cowboy-style around one's face. And Ronni is one of the most menacing monickers for a gang leader since Tookie burst on to the scene.
But, in an Austrolabe exclusive, we can reveal for the first time the other members of the feared Arab Soldiers Arab Defenders:

The "good news", as they say, from Iraq is that that:

And now for some comic relief…
Peter Faris, QC explains the "logic of the situation":
1. It cannot be denied that (whatever the number) that there are some terrorists in Australia.
2. All or some of these terrorists are Muslims.
3. Thus there are Muslim terrorists in Australia.
4. A number of Australian Muslims support Islamic terrorism, to a greater or lesser extent.
5. All these terrorists and supporters live in the Austsralian Muslim community.
6. It is difficult if not impossible to identify in advance exactly who are terrorists and supporters.
7. Accordingly, as specific identification is impossible, all Australian Muslims must be treated with suspicion.
8. If all Muslims are treated as possible suspects, then there Civil Rights will inevitably be curtailed (in various ways).
9. These limitations are not the fault of the "racist", mainstream Australians. It is the fault of Muslims themselves by permitting terrorists to live unidentified amongst them.
June 29th, 2007 — Humour
In the West, when people want to make a political point and speak truth to power, they know that nothing says we-mean-business quite like a giant paper mache head. But, if the television footage is to be believed, Muslims in the Muslim world do things a little bit differently: it's rage, rage, rage and, if they are really angry, rage.
But, how many angry Muslims are there really in these protests? Continue reading →

Joe's Back for 'Statement Game'
Joe Johnson missed the last game and a half for the Hawks (sprained right thumb) but you get the sense that the injury would have to be life-threatening to keep him out of Wednesday's match-up with the Orlando Magic.
"We understand the significance of this game," said Joe following Tuesday's practice. "This is more than likely going to be our first-round (playoff) opponent. It's definitely a statement game."
After being swept last year in the second round of the playoffs and then beaten badly in the pre-season by the Magic as well, the Hawks seem like they have found a successful game-plan during this regular season.
After losing a close game in Orlando in early November (a game in which the Hawks led with under 5 minutes remaining), Atlanta has won the last two meetings while holding the Magic to under 88 points per game.
According to Coach Drew, the key (other than containing Dwight Howard) is guarding the three-point line.
"I think their game is predicated a lot on having success at the three-point line," said Drew. "The thing with the adjustments we've made, it puts us in the position, one, to defend the three. Then, it allows us to play a little bit more at home one-on-one. It gets us out of all the rotating. That can be deadly for you if you don't get out on the shooters."
Look for Joe to be re-inserted into the starting line-up and for the Hawks to go big. Jason Collins has started all three games against Orlando this season, and is likely to get the call again on Wednesday. That means that Marvin Williams, fresh off of a 31-point performance in Cleveland, will be coming of the bench.
Notes from the Locker Room:
– Joe will be #HeadbandJoe for at least a few more games. He was able to practice today without a bandage for one of the first times since he started wearing a headband.
– Josh Smith continues to receive treatment on his right knee that has been bothering him for much of the last couple months. He is not expected to miss any time.

Confirmed tornado damages homes in Central Texas
BERTRAM, Texas (AP) â Severe weather has spawned a tornado that damaged several homes in rural Central Texas while storms in West Texas dumped hail the size of tennis balls.
Abilene Fire Department officials say three people outside for a children's parade suffered minor head injuries from hail Thursday night. Hail also broke out windows in some vehicles in Abilene.
The National Weather Service says a tornado tracked across Burnet (BER'-net) County on Thursday night. The twister touched down near Briggs and traveled southwest toward Bertram.
Burnet County Emergency Management Coordinator Jim Barho says a roof was torn off one house and another home was lifted off its foundation to about 150 yards away. He says minor injuries were reported and nobody required medical attention.
Heavy rain led to street flooding Friday in Waco.

The progeny of Snitzel and trainer Gerald Ryan are a formidable combination with Centrepet the latest to claim a metropolitan victory.
The filly, a $5 chance, ran out a decisive winner of the 1100m Benchmark 75 for three-year-olds at Rosehill on Saturday, beating Darley colt Chiaramonte by 1-1/4 lengths.
Ryan, who trained Snitzel to his 2006 Oakleigh Plate win, said his only regret was that the horse didn't race on at four.
"He was the best horse I've ever trained," Ryan said.
"But now I get to train his progeny. They are good little racehorses. They never go shin sore and they are all different.
"People think they are speedy two-year-olds but I think they get better as they get older as this filly has."
Centrepet's win was even more significant because Ryan trained her mother Miss Rainmaker and maternal grandsire Hurricane Sky, winner of the 1994 Blue Diamond Stakes.
"Triple Crown Syndications bought this filly. They are great owners and buy a lot of Snitzels and send them back to me so I'm happy," Ryan said.
Centrepet's full brother Mr Rainmaker missed a start in Saturday's Inglis Classic and will make his debut at Warwick Farm next Saturday.
The most accomplished of the Snitzels Ryan has so far trained, Golden Slipper runner-up Snitzerland, is due back at the races on March 16 at Warwick Farm.
"She will run in the Challenge Stakes and then the Galaxy," Ryan said.
"We'll look at options after that but Queensland is a possibility."

Treatment for Sleep Disorders, Snoring, Sleep Apnea and More
About 120 million Americans suffer from a sleep disturbance or a sleep disorder. Most don't know they have it. Whether it's sleep apnea, snoring, or restless legs, sleep problems, sleep disorders can wreck your job and quality of life. They cause chronic fatigue, drowsiness, also increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. SVMC can test you for sleep problems to help you get the sleep you need.
Take our Sleep Quiz to find out if you should consider talking to your doctor about your sleep.
How do you get an appointment for a sleep evaluation?
A sleep study requires a physician's order. If you think you need a sleep study, ask your primary care provider for a referral to our sleep lab. To schedule an appointment, you also may need pre-approval from your insurance company. Your physician's office staff should be able to help you.
What should you expect during testing?
Testing is painless and takes place overnight in a comfortable room at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center. Electrodes and sensors will be placed on your face, in your hairline, on your neck, on your chest and on your legs. You will have time before the test begins to relax and to read a book or to watch television. Generally, the test starts around 11 p.m. Throughout the night, a specially trained sleep technician will monitor your sleep using state-of-the-art testing equipment. You will be awakened between 5:15 a.m. and 5:30 a.m.

Organization Structure
Vision and Mission
Our vision is to become a competent Agency in administering occupational Health and Safety at workplaces in Mainland Tanzania.
Our mission is to promote safety, health and well-being of workers by providing technical advice monitoring and regulating OSH standards in order to reduce occupational accidents and diseases.
In any country, in order to improve productivity, among other things, health and safety of all workers need to be considered of high priority. In order to achieve this, a joint effort between the Government, Employers, Employees and the general public is needed.
Since independence in 1961, occupational health and safety standards in Tanzania were provided for by the Factories Ordinance Cap. 297 of 1950. The government through the Public Service Reform Programme (PSRP) established Occupational Safety and Health Authority under the Executive Agency Act No. 30 of 1997. Occupational Safety and Health Agency was officially launched on 31st August, 2001. It has been set up with the aim of improving the health and well being of workers, and of workplaces. This will be achieved by promoting occupational safety and health (OSH) practices in order to prevent occupational injuries and diseases, and ultimately achieve better productivity.
The Tanzania working population is exposed to several new stress factors as a consequence of globalization including the fast growing of construction and mining sectors. In addition to the well-known traditional hazards, new problems of information technology, nanotechnology and manufactured nanomaterials, biological risks and biotechnology, chemical risks, new organization of work and psychological stress are encountered by workers, managers and the experts. All these problems require new strategies; new approaches and new competencies. OSHA can help by developing different approaches for ensuring prevention or minimization of such occupational hazards.
The Agency's services extend to all workplaces as defined by the prevailing legislation i.e. the Occupational Health and Safety Act. No. 5 of 2003 and other subsidiary legislation.
