I want to express a long overdue "thank you" to Sky View Missionary Baptist Church, its pastor Wendell Horton and dedicated members.
My children attend Wednesday evening "kid services." I can see the difference the church has made for these nine-year-old girls.
Although my husband James and I did not attend regular services, Pastor Horton provided so much support and comfort during my husband's illness and death that words cannot express my gratitude.
The First Amendment is one of the first things we learn in history classes. It's one of the things that allows us to freely and openly express our preference in religion, to speak our minds and allow us to make a change where change is due. Recently, I've noticed that a local Facebook group has been prohibiting many people in this area from doing such a thing.
There is often confusion about what the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution actually protects.
Among other protections, it prohibits the government from making laws that infringe on freedom of speech or freedom of the press. The government can't tell you what to say or not say, nor can it tell a newspaper what to publish.
However, this does not apply to a private company or group, nor to an online forum or a reader comments section. It only applies if the government is doing the prohibiting.
Editor's note: This week's guest editorial is by Kathy Dowell of Galax, who has been an outspoken critic of Grayson County's coyote bounty program, and a "killing contest" that rewards the hunter who turns in the most dead coyotes. After the program recently ran out of its first $5,000 allocation, county supervisors put $5,000 more into it. With that money gone now, too, one supervisor has donated his own money to the fund and the county is asking citizens to donate prize money, too.
With April Fools' Day just around the corner, it appears that the meat, egg, and dairy industries have been playing us for fools all year-round.
Their more remarkable hoaxes include "California's happy cows," "free-range chickens," "humane slaughter." All lies.
Less fun is the stuff they never talk about. Like the hundreds of millions of chickens crammed seven into a cage designed for one, unable to move or spread their wings.
The Trenton Delp family would like to sincerely thank everyone for their heroic attempts at saving their children, first and foremost the first responders, firefighters, police and anyone else who offered to help that day.
We sincerely appreciate it.
Secondly, Twin County Regional Hospital staff — you are amazing and we will never forget your hard work in trying to save our babies. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the doctors, nurses and staff who helped us that day. Words cannot express our heartfelt thanks.
In areas across the commonwealth, volunteer rescue agencies are struggling against the perfect storm: a rise in calls for service and a fall in recruitment.
Due to financial strains and federal regulations, it's even harder now than it was several years ago for rescue squads to find volunteers. Though people are willing to sign up, some just don't have the money or the time to complete the necessary training for certification.
"No taxation without representation" was our Founding Fathers' protest cry.
The British government refused to correct the injustices and the protests became more violent and destructive, culminating in our Revolutionary War.
Fast forward to Ferguson, Mo. The population is predominantly African-American while the leadership is largely white; a distinct injustice which is undoubtedly the main underlying cause of the protests.

You might have expected a few edgy responses from Tom Crean in his radio show Monday night, considering that his Indiana squad is coming off back-to-back losses. And the Indiana coach had a few, but not in response to the questions you'd think.
When asked about his team's defensive shortcomings and other issues in the losses to Minnesota and Ohio State, his responses stayed mostly along the same lines as they were after the game and on the Big Ten teleconference on Monday morning. He's tried to make teaching points in film sessions, and has stated plainly that the Hoosiers haven't been physical enough the past two games.
"We weren't as physical as we needed to be," Crean said. "And we didn't come back and pop (Ohio State) when we needed to. … Bottom line of the week is we missed shots we've been making. I don't think we played with the confidence that good teams gotta have when the shots aren't going. You can't rely on the shots. We had a tough week shooting the ball. We didn't play great defense. We certainly weren't as aware, alert as we needed to be the other night. Yesterday we didn't respond to the physicality of the game as well and at the end of the day we didn't make shots we were making. This team has shot the ball well all year. What we've gotta do when those shots aren't going is we have to be able to overcome that."
But two seemingly innocuous questions got Crean rolling on tangents that led him to take a couple of broad digs, including one at assistant coaches of opposing staffs he didn't name.
Crean was first asked about his assistant coaches and what their roles are.
"I think when you get to the game and you get out there at early at Indiana, you don't see our (assistants) hob-nobbing with national media members and sitting on the sideline and relaxing," Crean said. "We don't have a team of guys that are out wearing their Beats headphones as they're warming up. Our guys are out there working with them. I don't have a group of guys that are grandstanders, that are looking to get an article done about them. I've got a group of guys that are really, really hungry to make the team better. That's game night."
He went on to say that the assistants help a lot with the scout, and obviously with recruiting. He then went back on attack mode and said he only had one problem with his staff.
"Our coaches, they're very tolerant, and sometimes I don't like that," Crean said. "They're tolerant of some of the things we see in recruiting. They're tolerant of some of the negativity. They're tolerant of some of the grandstand assistant coaches that run their mouth constantly against us in recruiting and want to talk about development, yet they're the guys that are cheerleading and hob-nobbing and all of those kinda things. It's about making your players better, and I don't think there's any question whatsoever that our coaches are making our players better. … I'm not good with silver spoon coaches. I'm not good with male models. I'm not good with guys who need to have a lot said and written about 'em. I'm good with guys that roll up their sleeves and get to work. I think that's what we've got."
Crean also took the opportunity of a question about his emotions when junior forward Christian Watford hit his buzzer-beater to beat Kentucky to fire back at Kentucky players who said it was a lucky shot.
"It was a hard-earned shot," Crean said. "Every time I walk by that picture I see Marquis Teague coming from behind and Darius Miller come straight up with him. With our team, it's like today. When we look at the game, we look at the scoreboard. We didn't win the game. We look at the scoreboard and it is what it is. Our job is to get into that film room and correct it. When we beat Kentucky, all I would say to everybody there, look at the scoreboard. We beat Kentucky. I know I saw the comments out of Lexington where the players referred to it as a lucky shot and they had a two-point lead, but at the end of the day, you lost the game and we won it. There were times inside of the game at the seven minute when I felt we should be up by more. It was a very good game and it was a great shot. We're not giving the scoreboard back. We're not giving the win back. We're not giving the Ohio State win up here back, and the bottom line is we didn't earn it yesterday. You just move forward, you keep moving forward and trying to get better."
FireCrean2011 #1
Any insight guys on which asst coaches he is talking about? Is it Paulus at Ohio State? I mean they were just there, and CTC's emotions are high…
hoosierfaninky #2
Get em Crean!! Any coach who would try to convince a kid that Crean doesn't improve his players must be one hell of a poker player!! Imagine saying that with a straight face.
Geoff #3
Wow! I take back my comment yesterday about coaches interviews being irrelevant. That was amazing.
"I'm not good with male models." are you kidding me? That's an all-time classic!
I actually might consider a twitter account if I thought I'd get nuggets like that.
Hoosier Clarion #4
…and there is an example of that competitive drive…
John H. #5
Greg Paulus is the first assistant coach that comes to my mind…
joseph estrada #6
Love it. I hadn't heard about those comments from UK players, but it made my day reading Crean's response. Comments like the ones from Lexington show how deeply we wounded their pride, and how completely embarrassed they were. The videos and photos of that moment will be around for a long, long time… and Teague and Miller will always be in those shots.
elmo #7
I still don,t know what he sais, mostly gobble gook,sentences don,t even make sense.
JohnFromBeyond #8
I'm pretty tolerant of spelling errors but for God's sake learn the difference between an apostrophe and a comma! Talk about gobblety gook… Pot to kettle: you're black.
psych #9
Kind of like your sentence, elmo? Pretty pathetic use of grammar and punctuation. Love what Crean said about the UK game as well. I have too many UK fans still telling me UK should have won that game.
Jr IU #10
Hey elmo,
You might want to turn your spell check on. I would continue working on that GED! Reading is fundamental!
Daburns0 #11
J Estrada, there is actually video of Calipari saying the same crap. What a bunch of Morons. I guess UNC should say that Davis' block was luck and that they won that game. There was some stupid assistant on OSU bench that kept motioning a travel every time our guys drove to the basket. Maybe once you can do that, but 10 times? If I were Matta I would kick that guy off the staff. He looked like a dope doing that.
IndianaWildcat #12
Why is he even talking about the UK game?? Get over it, for God's sake. It was a good win for IU and there are always going to be people talking trash about it, why address it? If you think UK is really that upset about it, you're delusional. Maybe if that game meant something, but honestly, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't mean anything. Worry about your Big Ten schedule, not a win you got earlier in the season.
Chet #13
Yeah, when one of the top three point shooters in the country hits an open three you can chalk that up to luck. He was lucky quite a few times that game.
Daburns0 #14
IndianaWildcat: Why don't you take your own advice and worry about your own team, and not one that handed you a loss a month ago. "Worry about you SEC schedule, and not a loss you got earlier in the season."
Mass.Hoosier #15
I thought the same. Watford hit that shot, from the same spot, about four times that game. I guess IU was LUCKY Kensuckey didn't play defense on any of those shots. Obviously Coach Crean is perturbed about something with the OSU staff. Been that way for a few years now.
Hoosier Clarion #16
Daburns0, That was beautiful. Even though he supports pUKe being from Indiana means he should get the drift.
Davis25 #17
The fact that we basically led the whole game until right b4 the end is enough to tell any idiotic pUKe fan that luck had nothing to do with that game. They were outplayed, plain and simple!
Chet #18
Well, if I was IndianaWildcat I'd be embarrassed, too. Naturally, he wants people to forget about the Kentucky players talking crap like that. But then, I can't imagine our guys saying that kind of thing. In all fairness, when you field a team of freshmen every year it's hard to develop leadership.
iuhoosier1992 #19
Chet, I keep asking friends of mine that are Kentucky fans if they really like the direction that the Kentucky program is going. I always ask how long KU fans are going to put up with bringing in a new roster every year, getting lots of win, getting high rankings, but due to lack of experience in big games, never win a national title. They usually say that Calipari probably won't be around long in that scenario because it is still about national titles at KU and if he can't deliver them, then the KU fan base will get him removed. I tell them, then you better get ready to find a new coach because that is all they will ever get out of Calipari.
Hoosieralum2009 #20
Point is, the only reason he's talking about the Kentucky game is because he was asked a question about his reaction to the end of the game by someone else. It's kind of hard not to talk about the game when he was asked to do so.
Chet #21
Hoosieralum2009, correct.
iuhoosier1992, Calipari has never even been to a Final Four. At least that's what the NCAA says.
Stonecutter #22
Chet. Do you have that short of a memory? I guess with the past seasons you guys have had, I should expect you to repress them.
Funny how this is already becoming about UK. Your coach is begging for attention, and you guys talk about Calipari and UK.
Good stuff.
Johnny #23
Uk (not KU)was in the final four last year. I understand…you were watching the NIT.
Scott #24
LOL Creen can take his 3 point win in Bloomington when half of the OSU team was on the bench by the first TV timeout with 2 fouls. I'm sure Matta will take the total blowout this weekend. 14 points at halftime Creen? Really? That coulda been a 40 point beatdown if Matta had kept his foot on the gas…maybe you should start complaining about your own assistant coaches before you start worrying about anybody else's. Maybe Matta will be nice at the B1G tournamnet and only let his guys be up by 20 at halftime…
creanisajoke #25
Tom Crean is still crying? I hope he took off his ladies glasses so he didn't smear the lenses with tears of jealousy. Crean is SO MAD that Thad Matta keeps out-recruiting him in the state of Indiana. And beating his arse on the court.
BigBlueNation #26
Hey Tommy, how about winning a game away from your home court before you start spouting off you prima donna. If your hand picked refs don't immediately put the opponent in foul trouble, IU doesn't stand a chance. Let's see how far you make it in post season on a neutral court.
BigBlueNation #27
If I was 2-31 in non-home Big 10 games over my 4-year tenure, I'd be clinging onto those two home wins against UK and OSU, too.
Jack #28
Amazing, BrilCREEN is obviously jealous and still smarting from the beat-down in Columbus.
Saying stuff like this makes him, his coaching staff and the IU team look small.
This will be bulletin board material in the tournament – assuming IU gets to play more than 1 game in it.
Willy Horton #29
Is Crean trying to create a Brady Hoke type buzz about IU hoops? He comes across as crazy.
MichiganManStan #30
If I was him I wouldn't give the wins back either because you'll probably never get them again. I am not one to blame officiating, but Indiana didn't exactly win the game. I have not seen a game in the past decade that was officiated that poorly. Sure Zeller fouled out but it was at the end of the game. The refs kept calling absurd fouls on the Ohio State players and that kept most of their starters out of the game, the fact that they were still able to stay in the game is very unbelievable to me. At any other neutral court UK and tOSU both wipe the floor with IU. As a Sparty fan watching the OSU game the only word that came to mind wAs "wow!" You dont see referees at this level give one team an obvious advantage like that very often, perhaps the odds are better of seeing a lunar eclipse. He has nothing to complain about because he is obviously the luckiest person in college basketball right now and finally finding out hey maybe we aren't as good as we thought. He is turning into a male diva after winning two basketball games in the past few years – way to act like you've been there before coach.
bigdawg #31
Crean is a dolt, man up and quit crying about other assistant coaches and worry about your own.
G Hale #32
I was sitting 20′ from Creen, you Indiana applogists crack me up. He not only was calling every move his players made that was stopped a foul he was stunned when it wasn't called. Name one assist. who doesn't try to influence the refs by saying the other team traveled. Indiana assiatance don't because they are to busy getting the chairs ready for the next time out. Creen really needs to look at his players and ask why Wofford had 0 points in the 1st half…simple coaching, his assistants did help with that issue did they? Wait until the Big Ten tourn and IU gets bounced early, again because Creen thought he would get fouls called. KY and Ohio State games spoiled you guys because of the serious issue with Big Ten refs. Big Ten refs have not called the same game the same way all year. Old people do suck…and they also ref for the Big Ten.
Ricky P #33
Tjay #34
Crean just did more harm to an already earned reputation of a whiner and crybaby who thinks he is above it all. He needs to come back to earth and worry about his own team and assistants. He hasn't earned the right to admonish other coaches for how they coach THEIR team.
Podunker #35
Tjay & bigdawg; I doubt most Hoosier fans will agree with your assessment of Crean's comments. We've been waiting to see a little more fire from Crean. In fact, I'd like to see more of it, a lot more of it.
You two are exposing your bias. Suggest you read his comments again. You were obviously inferring things Crean did not say. There was no whining. He never criticized any other head coach. He took responsibility for his team's losses, straight up.
Tjay #36
Podunker, I am not biased toward Crean at all…I have heard the sour grapes time and time again from him…and you should try reading what I said again…I never said he critized another head coach…I said COACHES and in the interview he did criticize other coaches and their demeanor as well as other things in his thinking were not professional..now who is biased
Chet #37
Po, don't bother.
Podunker #38
Tjay said: "Crean just did more harm to an already earned reputation of a whiner and crybaby who thinks he is above it all. He needs to come back to earth and worry about his own team and assistants. He hasn't earned the right to admonish other coaches for how they coach THEIR team."
The name-calling, aside from being ridiculous, sounds pretty biased to me. What "earned reputation as a whiner"? Never heard anyone call him a whiner before. Who says Crean "thinks he's above it all?" You're welcome to your opinions, but those comments clearly exposed your bias.
Are you an OSU fan? You're certainly not a Hoosier fan. And by the way, "a whiner and a crybaby" would not have tolerated the mess that Crean inherited or persevered long enough to clean it up and return the IU BB program to relevance. That has not been easy and a man of weak character would have been looking to escape a year ago. He may be many things, but Crean is certainly not a whiner or a crybaby.
I'm sure, if you try hard, you can do a better job of name-calling and think of one pejorative that is appropriate.
Ferg #39
I just wanted to welcome all of the ridiculous UK and OSU fans to our IU board. Apparently, you have nothing better to do than talk s*** over the internet on an opposing teams website. What interesting lives you must all have.
elmo #40
To all you spell freaks you got the point,it's still bulls–t
John from Beyond #41
Indiana is truly back. Last year, nobody cared enough to spam our fan blogs. This year, we have a swarm of sour grapes fans who lost to IU coming here to whine and make excuses. The best line here was probably "Indiana didn't exactly win the (first OSU) game". Classic. I couldn't be more happy than to see the pain in the opposing fans who LOST to the big red machine.
Love it! Bring on the whining and excuses all you buckeyes, wildcats, wolverines, or whatever. By being here, we know that we got under your skin and we gave you the agony of defeat!
Chet #42
Ferg, that was great.
Geoff #43
John From Beyond, I wasn't gonna comment, and now I don't have to because you just said it perfectly.
hoosierfaninky #44
I don't think the Watford shot bothered UK fans one bit. That's why they are signed on to an IU blog!! I have never ever been to a Uk blog. I live in Kentucky and can assure everyone that loss hurts them every day as bad as it did when it happened. My barber a UK season ticket holder said every other friday is always the worst day of the week for him. That's when I get my hair cut! Now im sure if UK had a few more losses it wouldn't matter so much but for their lonesome loss to be against IU kills them. Now to the idiot who said OSU out recruits us every year you are aware that CTC has had recruiting restrictions the past 3 years aren't you? It's so great when people bring up the last 3 years at IU. It shows they know what the next 3 years is going to look like!!! #2 recruiting class and returning everyone that matters next season!!!
hoosierfaninky #45
Tjay it's pretty easy to tell that you just hate IU. For you to just make up the point about Crean being known as a whiner is something a child would do. Lie to try to prove a point. What an idiot!! Your officially a joke on this blog buddy. Might want to go find another blog and try again!! Unless you want to direct me to any article ever that refers to Crean as a whiner. Didn't think so.
rob #46
IU is back! Go Crean! Your right Chet. Ferg really had a good one & ole podunker too. Us Indianans are awesome!!!
jc #47
I am not the type of person who gets on other teams websites and makes comments. But, I have heard Tom Crean has some type of problem with Thad Matta. Creans comments about certain assistants was another shot at Ohio State that he is becoming famous for making. I think Coach Crean needs to stop worrying about Ohio State. Obviously, Tom Crean has his style of getting things done, and Thad Matta has his way of getting things done. People forget that Thad Mattas first year at Ohio State, the Buckeyes were not elegible for tournament play, did not have a very talented roster, and he still was able to win twenty games and beat Illinois when they were ranked number one in the country. My point is, that Thad Matta is one helluva coach, a tireless recruiter, and a high energy guy. Thad Matta has built Ohio State into a power in the basketball world, even though Ohio State is a football school. Coach Crean, Thad Matta is not a silver spoon coach. I believe that Indiana being relevant again is great for the Big 10. When Ohio State gets beat now, opposing fans rush the court. Thats when you know you are a top 5 program consistently. Indiana is not there yet. I wish Indiana well, but Indiana fans must realize that when you run up against the Buckeyes, their will be more L's than W's.
Steve #48
I'm a Buckeye fan, but I still enjoyed Crean's comments. There's no question that IU is heading in the right direction, and that makes the B1G conference that much stronger. The great thing about College B-Ball is that everything gets settled in March!
Geoff #49
jc – those are interesting and valid opinions. It's good to see an opposing fan not come on and just throw a couple of stupid and pointless shots out (probably to never be heard from again). I find it interesting that any of these fans, including you, are even on this site and posting comments. I definitely don't have a problem with it, it's only validating our relevance.
I disagree that Crean is becoming "famous" for taking shots at Matta and OSU. Outside of OSU I'm sure that no one is aware of any of this. I have never heard of it in the past and I'm an IU fan, which tells me two things… 1) IU wasn't relevant enough for the story to get picked up; and 2) OSU fans are simply over-sensitive to the remarks.
The only 3 things that Crean is famous for are taking DWade to the Final Four, marrying a Harbaugh, and bringing the IU program back to life. He may become somewhat famous for his religion in the future, but IU will have to reach even greater heights for the larger population to pay attention to that.
I don't think you'll find many Hoosier fans that will debate you that Matta isn't a talented coach or recruiter. Of course every site has its morons… However, Matta certainly didn't inherit the mess that Crean did. It's not even close.
OSU is certainly a better program than IU right now, but that is beginning to balance out. I think we are only 2 yrs away from that advantage being completely nullified. Crean has done a great job of regaining the recruiting reigns in Indiana. I'm sure Matta will still be able to come over and grab a top prospect from time to time. But the days of him getting his pick are over. That in itself will even out the playing field going forward.
By the way, OSU has exactly ZERO recruits signed for 2012! They offered scholarships to EIGHT 4 & 5 start recruits, but 6 decided to go to other schools leaving only two 4-star guys undecided. Meanwhile IU has a top 5 class that includes a top PG, SF, and PF and also a SG and 7′ athletic C. That's a quality recruit at every position if you're paying attention. I wonder why so many top recruits turned down OSU and so many signed with IU? Interesting…
I certainly agree that OSU is the superior team this year – in my opinion the best team in the country, and I have stated that more than once on this site over the last couple months – but that last sentence you wrote has a very short shelf life, so enjoy this while you can. Soon enough you and other OSU fans will have to realize that IU will be beating you consistently.
JohnFromBeyond #50
jc, I mostly agree with what you say as far as Thad Matta being a good coach and Ohio State being a good team right now. I don't know anything about the history between Crean and Matta, if there is any. However, you did exaggerate a bit as I would expect any fan to do:
It may be premature to say Ohio State is consistently a "top 5" team, esp. since they aren't top 5 right now. I believe the only recent year they finished ranked top 5 was last year. And some fans may storm the floor when OSU is defeated but IU fans did not. This is all a matter of perspective… what do you call "consistently"? OSU fans would love to focus on the last 3 years only, whereas IU fans would love to forget the last 3 years.
If you look at the last 50 years, Ohio State would not make the cut of Top 5 basketball schools, but IU would.
True, we've had more L's than W's lately vs OSU, but going forward I like our chances to have a winning record against any team!
Chet #51
I don't know of a contentious history between Crean and Matta but it does seems as though there is an unusual fondness for CTC in the coaching community. I have rarely heard as many coaches saying as many nice things about a peer as opposing coaches seem to bestow on 'Tommy', as they usually refer to him.
Matta is a great coach and recruiter but, for whatever reason, he doesn't seem to elicit the same type of warm fuzzies, and that could simply be a result of his success.
Geoff2 #52
I'm an Ohio State guy, but love Indiana basketball. Thad Matta has stated publicly that IU's resurgence is good for everybody in the Big10. He's right. Winning in a mediocre conference is no great honor. In Ohio we want the Big10 and Indiana to play great basketball. Geoff is right that you're very good now and you'll be terrific in a couple of years.
So why is Tom Crean angry about Ohio Styate assistant coaches? What did they ever do to him? Greg Paulus is the video tape guy — it's a stretch even calling him a coach. On our site, we assumed Crean was pissed at Jeff Boals, Matta's #2. But again, why?
Woody Hayes always said that a getting your butt whipped was a good thing. Keeps you humble and focussed. But when Crean loses, he takes out after assistant coaches? WTF? Chill-ax, Hoosiers. You're back and we're all glad.
Chet #53
I'm guessing we'll never know and he may, or may not, have a good reason to dislike someone on their bench.
Just have to wait and see.
Geoff2 #54
Original Geoff: you snide little comment about OSU 2012 recruiting is intentionally skewed. You're obviously a smart guy, so you must know better. Ohio State is packed with Freshmen and Sophomores, and has only one senior, which you surely know. There simply is no room for a big recruiting class. Congrats to IU for putting one together this year. But implying that recruiting at Ohio State is off this year is an ignorant position, and you don't seem like an ignorant guy to me. So I can only assume you're spinning a disingenuous tale, as homers invariably do.
JohnFromBeyond #55
According to Scout, there is only one commit (verbal or signed) to OSU for the next 4 classes. It's true they are loaded with freshmen and sophomores today, but they will lose 2 this year at a minimum (Buford, Sullinger), and at least 2 the next year.
On the other hand, there are 10 commits to IU right now. I'm just saying…
Admit it, we're all homers anyway.
Geoff #56
Yeah there was a little spin and snide-ness there, but there is also some fact…
The fact is that Matta offered scholarships to 8 prospects:
DeJuan Coleman (#14) – chose Syracuse
Daniel House (#15) – Houston
Rodney Purvis (#16) – NC State
Amile Jefferson (#24) – undecided
Brice Johnson (#25) – UNC
Tony Parker (#31) – undecided
Adam Woodbury (#41) – Iowa
Joel James (#57) – UNC
That's a pretty aggressive recruiting list for a team not trying to fill spots. Listen they have Buford leaving and Sullinger who almost certainly will too, they are trying to replace a lot of talent, so I don't buy that they weren't being aggressive on the recruiting trail. For all we know Thomas may be heading toward the draft as well… Do you really believe that Smith, Craft, Weatherspoon, Ross, and Scott are going to lead you to a Big Ten championship or a Final Four?
If OSU isn't trying to fill those spots they arent showing the type of preparation that will keep them at the top of the B1G…
Podunker #57
I would guess that Crean was not too happy to have lost a star Indiana High School player to Ohio State. Maybe, (I'm just speculating here) he was not too happy with certain comments/recruiting tactics used to sign that High School player at the expense of his team, especially if they were denigrating to Crean, his staff, or IU BB in general.
Bob Knight used to discuss the crooked tactics used by opposing coaches quite often. I don't recall him ever naming names or getting too specific, but of course his comments were directed at college BB insiders who knew what and who he was referring to.
It's a mute point for next year's class, since IU's class of 2012 is loaded. And given that momentum, it looks like IU will be getting the players they desire for years to come. Win a Big Ten Championship, take your team to the final four, and continue to be ranked in the top ten and Crean won't have to worry about the recruiting tactics of opposing coaches or assistant coaches.

I never expected to have any problems, but the next day after getting the procedure I woke up with swollen neck, chest, arms, hands and other places. Then Horners syndrome, but that was normal. THEN... a very odd rash on my chest up to my neck and to sides neck developed and hot to the touch. WORSE, I felt wigged out in the brain, they don't understand this, but its 100% true, my words were coming out backwards, I felt weird. It got a bit better, but rash did not. I have depression, but this was taken to a new level, litterally TORTURE THOUGHTS, and Anxiety something unbearable. Rash is finally drying up, but it has been one week and I don't feel right. I'm worried the mental affects will stay, what could have happened. There is no doubt it has something to do with the procedure, something similar happened in 2008, it was horrible, after a hand surgery and a ton of cortisone steriods were given mulitple times. I was not given any of those according to Dr., he does not know why this happening and he is one of the best around here. I've felt all along there are missing something which is why they cannot find why my hands/arm/chest hurt, and maybe this reaction is due to whatever oddball problem I have? OH gosh, has anyone had anything unusual with a stellate ganglion block? I can't think straight... Thank you my friends.

Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear you are having such troubles! The symptoms you describe all sound like reactions to steroids to me... I have heard many patients complain of the same things. Perhaps a medication you are taking that u don't realize has a steroid in it... Investigate as best you can... good luck:)

I have replaced the old clutch master cylinder and now I don't know how to bleed the system.

Fill reservoir press down pedal and open bleeder, close bleeder after fluid or air is expelled and lift pedal, do this as many times as it takes to expel all air, bleed into a jar and use a clear tube you will see air bubbles easily and do not let the fluid run out while bleeding.
I'm sorry to say if you consider yourself an expert in Mitsubishi cars, if you would have looked up the 2007 Mitsubishi raider you would have noticed that the clutch master cylinder and the clutch slave cylinder does not have a bleeder. So now, tell me how do I bleed the system.

Did the Khazars Convert to Judaism? New Research Says 'No'
Submitted by on Thu, 26/06/2014 - 13:07
Hebrew University professor cites lack of reliable source for conversion story
Did the Khazars convert to Judaism? The view that some or all Khazars, a central Asian people, became Jews during the ninth or tenth century is widely accepted. But following an exhaustive analysis of the evidence, Hebrew University of Jerusalem researcher Prof. Shaul Stampfer has concluded that such a conversion, "while a splendid story," never took place.
Prof. Shaul Stampfer is the Rabbi Edward Sandrow Professor of Soviet and East European Jewry, in the department of the History of the Jewish People at the Hebrew University's Mandel Institute of Jewish Studies. The research has just been published in the Jewish Social Studies journal, Vol. 19, No. 3 (online at http://bit.ly/khazars).
From roughly the seventh to tenth centuries, the Khazars ruled an empire spanning the steppes between the Caspian and Black Seas. Not much is known about Khazar culture and society: they did not leave a literary heritage and the archaeological finds have been meager. The Khazar Empire was overrun by Svyatoslav of Kiev around the year 969, and little was heard from the Khazars after. Yet a widely held belief that the Khazars or their leaders at some point converted to Judaism persists.
Reports about the Jewishness of the Khazars first appeared in Muslim works in the late ninth century and in two Hebrew accounts in the tenth century. The story reached a wider audience when the Jewish thinker and poet Yehudah Halevi used it as a frame for his book The Kuzari. Little attention was given to the issue in subsequent centuries, but a key collection of Hebrew sources on the Khazars appeared in 1932 followed by a little-known six-volume history of the Khazars written by the Ukrainian scholar Ahatanhel Krymskyi. Henri Gregoire published skeptical critiques of the sources, but in 1954 Douglas Morton Dunlop brought the topic into the mainstream of accepted historical scholarship with The History of the Jewish Khazars. Arthur Koestler's best-selling The Thirteenth Tribe (1976) brought the tale to the attention of wider Western audiences, arguing that East European Ashkenazi Jewry was largely of Khazar origin. Many studies have followed, and the story has also garnered considerable non-academic attention; for example, Shlomo Sand's 2009 bestseller, The Invention of the Jewish People, advanced the thesis that the Khazars became Jews and much of East European Jewry was descended from the Khazars. But despite all the interest, there was no systematic critique of the evidence for the conversion claim other than a stimulating but very brief and limited paper by Moshe Gil of Tel Aviv University.
Stampfer notes that scholars who have contributed to the subject based their arguments on a limited corpus of textual and numismatic evidence. Physical evidence is lacking: archaeologists excavating in Khazar lands have found almost no artifacts or grave stones displaying distinctly Jewish symbols. He also reviews various key pieces of evidence that have been cited in relation to the conversion story, including historical and geographical accounts, as well as documentary evidence. Among the key artifacts are an apparent exchange of letters between the Spanish Jewish leader Hasdai ibn Shaprut and Joseph, king of the Khazars; an apparent historical account of the Khazars, often called the Cambridge Document or the Schechter Document; various descriptions by historians writing in Arabic; and many others.
Taken together, Stampfer says, these sources offer a cacophony of distortions, contradictions, vested interests, and anomalies in some areas, and nothing but silence in others. A careful examination of the sources shows that some are falsely attributed to their alleged authors, and others are of questionable reliability and not convincing. Many of the most reliable contemporary texts, such as the detailed report of Sallam the Interpreter, who was sent by Caliph al-Wathiq in 842 to search for the mythical Alexander's wall; and a letter of the patriarch of Constantinople, Nicholas, written around 914 that mentions the Khazars, say nothing about their conversion.
Citing the lack of any reliable source for the conversion story, and the lack of credible explanations for sources that suggest otherwise or are inexplicably silent, Stampfer concludes that the simplest and most convincing answer is that the Khazar conversion is a legend with no factual basis. There never was a conversion of a Khazar king or of the Khazar elite, he says.
Years of research went into this paper, and Stampfer ruefully noted that "Most of my research until now has been to discover and clarify what happened in the past. I had no idea how difficult and challenging it would be to prove that something did not happen."
In terms of its historical implications, Stampfer says the lack of a credible basis for the conversion story means that many pages of Jewish, Russian and Khazar history have to be rewritten. If there never was a conversion, issues such as Jewish influence on early Russia and ethnic contact must be reconsidered.
Stampfer describes the persistence of the Khazar conversion legend as a fascinating application of Thomas Kuhn's thesis on scientific revolution to historical research. Kuhn points out the reluctance of researchers to abandon familiar paradigms even in the face of anomalies, instead coming up with explanations that, though contrived, do not require abandoning familiar thought structures. It is only when "too many" anomalies accumulate that it is possible to develop a totally different paradigm—such as a claim that the Khazar conversion never took place.
Stampfer concludes, "We must admit that sober studies by historians do not always make for great reading, and that the story of a Khazar king who became a pious and believing Jew was a splendid story." However, in his opinion, "There are many reasons why it is useful and necessary to distinguish between fact and fiction – and this is one more such case."

I like the finish of this primer, it wears well on my oily skin, no breakouts, and gives my foundation a nice finish. I've also used LM, Smashbox, and Chanel. I think this one is the best, but some reviewers have written that you "get more" product than Smashbox for less money. Actually they both contain the SAME amount-MUFE just comes in a larger bottle than SB, VERY deceiving. Will repurchase...

I really like this primer! I am using it with MUFE HD Foundation and the HD finishing powder and it is working out great.
I haven't tried this under any other foundations. I like the smooth silky feel better than the English Ideas Foundation Primer I was using. I feel like this ones mattifies. Also, I have noticed that my makeup lasts longer. When I used MUFE HD Foundation without it it seemed to sink in and absorb - also the shade seemed to oxidize....when I used the primer underneath those problems were ancient history.
I would highly recommend this to anyone but especially if you are using the MUFE HD Foundation.

I love this primer! Perfect for combo-oily skin types. I don't have any lines/wrinkles that need smoothing but this does create an awesome base and acts like a moisturizer on those mornings where I simply don't have enough time for my full routine. I am going to start my 3rd bottle soon!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brown, Other, Other

I mostly like this product. It does make my makeup last about 5-6 hours looking like new, but after that my gel blush starts to fade a bit. A couple pumps definitely goes a long way, plus I've found that it is buildable, so if I want extra staying power for my makeup I'll put a second layer on. I've noticed that letting it dry completely before I apply my foundation is key. I have decent oil control experiences with it, but I like a dewy texture. This product probably wouldn't be ideal for someone looking for an all-day matte finish.
I had hoped that it would be more effective in minimizing lines/pores/etc but no such luck. When I want a really flawless skin texture and extended (7 hours+) staying power for makeup I have to use this primer in conjunction with something silicone based. That being said, the MUFE is fine for everyday wear.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I was hoping that between the MUFE HD foundation and the primer, I would find the perfect answer to gorgeous skin if you like to look grey and ashy toned. I was let down by both products. After a month or so my skin began breaking out noticing this first on my cheeks (a place where I never break out). If I were to break out, which is rare, it would be in my T zone. I do have oily/combination skin. I was much more impressed with other primers I have had in the past. This is not worth the $30 and the packaging is not impressive either for the cost. My main importance would be the product however and it doesn't live up to what I thought it would for the price.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Other
I started using MUFE HD primer about 2-3 weeks after I started using the MUFE HD foundation. I can't say that it does anything for fine lines, wrinkles or pores. BUT it does make my foundation last longer. 2 pumps covers my entire face. It does not feel greasy after drying and I don't experience "make up slip down" where it felt like my make up was just sliding off my face (hello LG spackle, I'm talking to you!!)
I will def. repurchase and i hope it continues to perform in the hot humid summer.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure

I wanted to love this but to tell you the truth i saw no change in my skin quality...nothing at all...it did nothing for smoothing out fine lines and enlarged pores or making foundation stay longer...it's like the formula has ingredients missing... will not be re-purchasing
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
hmmm...well I got this as a sample from Sephora and was really hoping it would keep the high performance of the HD foundation....but to tell you the truth i saw no change in my skin quality...nothing at all...it did nothing for smoothing out fine lines and enlarged pores or making foundation stay longer...it's like the formula has ingredients missing .... definitely not buying...
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Red, Other, Fine
Eyes: Black
This is actually a very good primer for foundation, powder or any other face make-up. It mattes the skin slightly and doesn't do too much for oil control. But it really does make foundation go on smoothly. I apply my foundation with a brush and when I us this primer I don't see any brush strokes or streaks of foundation as I smooth it out. It grabs powder very well, so anything you put on top like blush or bronzer will go on smoothly and won't get blotchy. I really wish this did more for oil control but I will continue to buy this because it makes face makeup look really nice.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Tan, Warm
Hair: Black, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I too got this as a deluxe sample from Sephora. I love this product. I have dry skin and usually just put moisturizer under my make-up. I gave this a try and now it's a must. Try it if can get to Sephora, they will give you a sample.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has matured considerably from its initial development by John H. Gibbon, MD, in Philadelphia, PA, in 1937.1 Since then, the evolution of perfusion technology (e.g., centrifugal flow pumps and polymethylpentene membrane oxygenators) and cardiac critical care medicine2 have allowed circuits to be miniaturized and have enabled their role in higher acuity of critically ill patients to expand without a decriment in outcomes.
Mendiratta and colleagues3 from the University of Arkansas have performed an excellent retrospective review of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry.4 In their review of 99 elderly (>65 years of age) patients who underwent ECMO as part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR), they were able to elucidate two key findings: 1) preexisting renal insufficiency is a harbinger of a poor outcome and 2) while E-CPR outcomes in the elderly are not stellar, they appear to be better than conventional CPR. These results bring the question of which patient can most optimally benefit from this advanced resuscitative technology to the forefront.
In the current study, Mendiratta et al.3 were able to demonstrate a 22.2% survival to discharge in the elderly population. Given the inherent comorbidities of this population, the practitioners who enroll data in the ELSO Registry are to be commended. Conventional survival to discharge with E-CPR has been reported to be 27%.5 In evaluating our own data in the E-CPR population at The Ohio State University, we have been able to achieve 57% successful decannulation in the E-CPR setting, with a 29% survival to discharge (unpublished data). From these data, one could crudely predict a 25–30% survival to discharge for E-CPR. This demonstrates room for improvement while patients are supported with ECMO or the need for development of predictive models which would enable more optimum patient selection. We would argue the latter.
Other areas of critical care medicine have benefitted from predictive models (e.g., Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment).6 Researchers in the ECMO/E-CPR arena have identified risk factors which can foretell a poor outcome, such as age, preexisting renal insufficiency, disease process, and the need for anticoagulation.3,5,7–9 Although these risk factors may aid in our prognostication to some degree, the initiation of ECMO or its continuation does not currently have a beneficial predictive model (such as that potentially provided by a back propagating artificial neural network).10
With an ever-expanding eye on process improvement, quality, and resource utilization that has evolved with the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, it is imperative that those practitioners with expertise and belief in the benefits of ECMO develop expanded predictive models of efficacy and survival. As these models evolve, we should call for the expansion of the ELSO Registry to include the data elements to enable their validation nationally and internationally and further improve the outcomes being obtained by ECMO practitioners.
