High school football: Tulsa East Central's Kimmie Carson continuing to grow into linebacker position
TULSA — When Tulsa East Central linebacker Marcus Dees suffered an injury just before the Cardinals' playoff opener in 2010, sophomore Kimmie Carson was hungry for the chance to get more game action.
Then-coach Travis Hill trusted the youngster with the position even though he had been playing defensive end to that point.
"It was a natural move for me," Carson said. "It wasn't hard at all. Coach Hill just told me to read the fullback and go get it and that's what I did. I had a great game."
Carson played a big part in the Cardinals' 30-8 win over Skiatook in the opener, then helped East Central advance to the Class 5A title game.
Now, nearly two years later, Carson is widely considered the top linebacker in the state and comes in at No. 10 on The Oklahoman's Super 30 list of the state's top recruits.
"He's just such a raw talent," first-year East Central coach Bobby Klinck said. "The thing about him is he loves contact. He's a fast player, he's just extremely raw right now."
Klinck said he expected Carson to grow in the position as the season goes on.
Carson is receiving a good amount of recruiting attention already. He has offers from New Mexico and South Dakota and conditional offers from Oregon State, Washington State and Arkansas State.
He hopes to turn one of those conditional offers, Arkansas State, into a full offer later this month when he travels to Jonesboro, Ark., where Red Wolves head coach Gus Malzahn will take a look at Carson.
A day earlier, he'll be across the state in Fayetteville at the University of Arkansas.
More than anything, Carson is looking forward to the season and being a part of a defense that also includes Oklahoma commit Stanvon Taylor.
"We're going to be the No. 1 defense in the state," Carson said. "It's a whole new defense this year and we're looking real, real good."
That playoff game against Skiatook woke up Carson to the possibility that football could be a big part of his future.
"That game did a lot for me," he said. "I didn't think I ever had a chance to play college football before that game. It was a dream. That game changed that, though.
"Right now, it's all in my hands. As long as I keep putting in the work, it's going to happen."
The work is a big part of what Klinck is trying to instill in Carson — not necessarily for his success this year but setting him up for success in the future.
Klinck should know. He was a two-time Oklahoman All-State first-teamer out of Jenks in 1999-2000 and wound up signing with Oklahoma.
"Once you get into college, it becomes a job," Klinck said. "Once you get there as a freshman, you're busy from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and if you don't have a work ethic and you're not ready to rock n' roll, you're going to get left by the wayside.
"It's starting to click with him a little bit and you can definitely see it in the way he's working out now and the way he's taking coaching. It's exciting to see."
Oklahoman Super 30
The Oklahoman's Super 30 feature series on the state's top football recruits continues with No. 10, Kimmie Carson of Tulsa East Central. Here are the last three players we've written about in the series:

Marcel Kahan is the George T. Lowy Professor of Law at the New York University School of Law. This post is based on a paper co-authored by Professor Kahan and Edward Rock, Saul A. Fox Distinguished Professor of Business Law at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law.
Corporate governance politics display a peculiar feature: while the rhetoric is often heated, the material stakes are often low. Consider, for example, shareholder resolutions requesting boards to redeem poison pills. Anti-pill resolutions were the most common type of shareholder proposal from 1987–2004, received significant shareholder support, and led many companies to dismantle their pills. Yet, because pills can be reinstated at any time, dismantling a pill has no impact on a company's ability to resist a hostile bid. Although shareholder activists may claim that these proposals vindicate shareholder power against entrenched managers, we are struck by the fact that these same activists have not made any serious efforts to impose effective constraints on boards, for example, by pushing for restrictions on the use of pills in the certificate of incorporation. Other contested governance issues, such as proxy access and majority voting, exhibit a similar pattern: much ado about largely symbolic change.

—To determine whether preoperative autologous blood donation is justified for patients undergoing elective abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy.
—Retrospective cohort study.
Patients and Setting.
—A total of 263 consecutive patients admitted for elective abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy to a community health maintenance organization hospital during 1993 and 1994.
Main Outcome Measures.
—Evaluation of transfusion rates for patients who did and did not donate autologous blood; determination of any risk factors that would predict the need for transfusion; and evaluation of the need for transfusion based on chart review.
—Of 263 patients, 26 received a blood transfusion. The major risk factor identified for transfusion was the donation of autologous blood. Of 140 patients who donated autologous blood, 25 were transfused, whereas just 1 patient of 123 who did not donate autologous blood was transfused (P<.001). Patients who donated autologous blood had significantly lower mean admission hemoglobin level than patients who did not donate (119 g/L vs 132 g/L; P<.05); logistic regression showed that autologous donation was an independent risk factor for transfusion.
—For hysterectomy patients, donation of autologous blood causes anemia and is associated with a more liberal transfusion policy. These 2 factors result in a markedly increased incidence of transfusion with its associated risks. Elimination of preoperative autologous donation for these patients should not result in frequent exposure to allogeneic blood.

NEW YORK – First the suspension, now the injury.
After a promising start to a comeback season after shoulder surgery ruined his first two years with the Yankees, Michael Pineda has headed the wrong way down a one-way street.
His 10-game suspension for using pine tar was going to come to an end with a return Monday night against the Angels in Anaheim, but the 25-year-old righty strained an upper back muscle near that right shoulder Tuesday during a simulated game.
"He's down," Joe Girardi said before Thursday night's series finale against the Mariners at Yankee Stadium. "He's frustrated.
"But the good part of it is, if you're going to have an injury as a pitcher, a lot of times it's your elbow or your shoulder. It's really neither. This will heal and he'll get back out there."
Pineda spoke briefly about the injury for the first time and said: "I'm coming back soon."
But he has been shut down for 10 days. Girardi said three or four weeks was a fair estimate of when he should be back pitching for this team.
"When I threw it ... it was tight," Pineda said. "I threw two more pitches. I felt a little tight."
David Phelps will take Pineda's place in the rotation. Phelps was skipped after his start Wednesday night was rained out, leading him to instead throw a simulated game of about 80 pitches. He said he's now due to start Monday night.
Girardi milestone: This is a tough place to work as a manager, but when the Yankees take the field for Friday night's game against the Rays, it will mark Girardi's 1,000th as their manager.
"It just tells me I've been fortunate in my life to have this opportunity to be here for that long," Girardi said, "to be around an organization that does everything in its power to win and be around players that give you effort every day."
Girardi will be only the seventh active manager to work at least 1,000 games with his current team and the sixth in Yankees history.
Extra bases: Jacoby Ellsbury was back in the lineup after sitting out Tuesday night with a sore left hand, then getting a night off due to the rain. "I was ready to go the day before," Ellsbury said. "... I'm not really concerned about it." … Bob Wolff, the 93-year-old sports broadcaster and South Nyack resident, was honored before the game by the Guinness Book of World Records for "Longest Career as a Broadcaster." He already had the status of "Longest Career as a Sportscaster." Wolff began Oct. 23, 1939, with WDNC radio in Durham, N.C., and is still working, now with News 12 Long Island.

S3 just keeps ticking...(barely)
I am hoping that the rumors of Fuji's demise are greatly exaggerated. I love the "out of the box" tones and colors with the S3. Wish I could have fell in love with the S5 - I hated the ergonomics when I held them in my hand. Here's hoping for an S6...soon. My S3 is beginning to show signs of age and abuse and the S2 (my b/u camera) likes to go through batteries like there is no tomorrow.

Walking from the large entry foyer into the great room, one is struck by the massive ancient stone walls that set the tone through out the entire house. The walls are all over1 metre thick and insulate out the heat in summer and hold it in winter.
In the main ground floor great room. (22'x 30'x 25'), there is a floor to ceiling wood burning stone fireplace (opening measures 5'x7'), built from original stones recuperated from areas that now contain large windows on the north side of the house.
Continuing through the great room to the west end of the house, one arrives at a large, eat- in cook's kitchen (17 x 22'). Fashioned with counters (approx 20 feet of counter workspace) constructed from the manger walls, the kitchen includes a 6 burner gas convection stove/oven, a large farm sink, American sized refrigerator / freezer and dishwater, There is an antique table that will seat 12 easily for special feasts.
French doors flood the kitchen with light all day, and open to the south and west facing stone terrace. Perfect for dining outdoors, the terrace overlooks the private 13 acre valley. To sit under the walnut tree and sip a glass of wine while enjoying an incredible late night
sunset, painting the clear blue sky and clouds… aah, a truly incomparable treat beyond comprehension!
The two hay loft bedrooms, one facing east and the other west, at opposite ends of the house, are reached by individual stair cases, which open to the main great room.
These two large en suite bedrooms, one with walk in shower and one with shower/tub combination, allow for maximum privacy for couples travelling together.
There are stone floors through out the downstairs of the house, and custom laid chestnut flooring in both hay loft bedrooms. Antique armoires, antiques and simple comfortable furnishings, will make your stay a memorable, relaxed one.
The property is surrounded by open countryside and breathtaking views of fields and woods. There are fruit trees on the property, with bounty, just ripe for the taking. And marked French randonee (walking) trails, just outside the door.
Two towns are within easy reach by car or by bicycle. Both are stellar rides, along the river either by car or bicycle. In fact, in the fall, one can often encounter the Butterfield and Robinson or Back Roads cyclists enjoying the view.
St. Julien de Lampon is about 7 minutes by car, where there is a Thursday market, a bakery, butcher, pharmacy, post office. bank and small grocery store. Souillac, with a variety of grocery stores, bakeries, as well as a great Friday market, offers more choice and can supply you with anything you need. It is 12 minutes away.
There are other larger (Souillac size) towns in the surrounding areas, each with its own market, restaurants, etc. They include Martel, Gourdon, Brive la Gaillarde and Sarlat, each about 25 minutes from the house. Souillac has a golf club and it is available to the public, including a lovely pool. Bicycle rental is available in Souillac, as is horseback riding. Cars can be rented in Brive, across from the train station.
There are amazing things to do and see in the area, known as the Perigord Noir.
Hiking, biking, canoeing, antiquing, markets, cooking, horseback riding, golf, not to mention visiting historic sites, gorgeous gardens, and wonderful restaurants, all await and are there for the asking. The beautiful Dordogne countryside beckons.
|Further details outdoors
The house sits on the slope of 13 private acres, or 4 plus hectares. Terrace faces West and
is accessible from the kitchen for dining outdoors. Additionally there is a lower hidden garden
and a pergola area on the North side for dining outdoors in the shade. The terrace is partially
shaded by a large walnut tree.
|Further details
The bedrooms (2 en suite) are at opposite ends of the large open house. This creates maximum privacy for two couples traveling together. Two fold out single beds can accommodate additional guests sleeping in the tv lounge.
The house is best suited for 4 people in two bedrooms. The second bedroom can sleep 3 with roll-away bed and
best suited for this purpose for children.
The region is not only beautiful and a perfect place for an active holiday of walking, cycling, fishing, golfing or touring, there are many many wonderful things to see, including special towns such as Sarlat,St Cirq, markets, gardens, chateaux, canoeing on the Dordogne- it is endless! The climate is lovely almost all year long, and many times in winter, one can be outside in a jumper during the day. Consult the many available guidebooks such as the Rough Guide, or the Michelin Green guide for particulars. And I failed to mention the wonderful local food- many great restaurants within a very easy drive, and the local wine is terrific as well.
Chateau Beynac, Jardin Marqueyssac, Domme, Sarlat, Markets almost every day of the week- the list goes on and on. Consult a good guide book to help you plan your special holiday excursions. The house is a 8 minute walk to the Dordogne River and from there you can bicycle to Sarlat or Souillac- there are paths in each direction. St. Julien de Lampon and Souillac are within 10 minutes and can supply you with all you need.

What PlanetGreen wrote should fix the issue.
What does this mean: My Nook is saying it is connected to my computer
Do you get a dialog/screen on Nook saying it's connected?
In that case you probably have a Tablet or Color.
Did you go to 'Computer' on your PC and check if a drive shows up?
If you have Tablet or Color then a drive will show up along with other drives in Computer page. It'll be named MyNook.
If you have HD or HD+ then a MyNook device will show up under Devices section.

Peer Communities Prepare Students with Special Needs for Life and Employment after Graduation
Burtt, Shelley, The Exceptional Parent
Picture yourself as a young adult finishing high school, preparing to take your next steps in the world. What opportunities await you? Which college or vocational program will you consider in order to continue learning and developing the skills necessary for a responsible adult life? High school graduation also marks a special milestone in the lives of young people with special needs, yet it can be a challenge for these individuals to find community programs that offer a college-like experience and meet the needs of developmentally disabled "emerging adults."
By age 21, the range of support for individuals with develop-mental disabilities found in the public school system comes to an end. At a time when their peers are embarking on an exciting yet challenging college experience, there can be very little for young adults with special needs to look forward to. Most of these individuals will not be prepared to live independently and will find themselves at home with Mom and Dad, relying on their parents to create a circle of friends to keep them stimulated and locate meaningful activities to occupy their days. And while group homes allow young adults to live apart from their family as college does, these residential situations rarely offer true peer to peer learning. Options for continuing education, vocational exploration and genuine social relations are often less plentiful than parents might hope.
Fortunately, there are three Youth Guidance communities that are part of Camphill in North America (www.camphill.org) that recognize the gap in educational opportunities and choice of work for young adults with special needs. Camphill's residential programs at Camphill Soltane, Camphill Community Triform and the Transition Program at Beaver Farm (a part of Camphill Special School in Pennsylvania) offer supportive college-like experiences consciously tailored to the needs and special life tasks of the emerging young adult, including those diagnosed with Down syndrome, autism, Fragile X and cerebral palsy.
These lifesharing communities, where individuals with special needs ("residents") live together with residential volunteers ("coworkers"), follow a model of care which distinguishes all 100 Camphill communities worldwide. The model first emerged in Scotland over 70 years ago and came to the United States in the 1960s. In North America, Camphill communities can be found in New York, Pennsylvania, California, Minnesota, Vermont and Missouri as well as in British Columbia and Ontario.
"The question for every adolescent, with or without intellectual disabilities, is how to go from depending on a teacher for guidance to being self-guided," explains Guy Alma, Director of the Transition Program at Beaver Farm in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania. When individuals with special needs move directly from the public education system into the support offered by adult social services, this interim step is often missing. "Youth Guidance gives young adults the supportive structure they need to start making healthy choices for themselves in whatever area of life they are ready to explore," says Alma. "Whether it's trying out different sorts of career avenues, learning how to be mentored in a job placement or simply mastering the skill of self-dressing."
Tim Paholak, President of Triform Camphill Community in Hudson, New York, believes Youth Guidance makes sense because it addresses a critical stage of the human life cycle. "There's a real window of opportunity between ages 18 to 30 to help young people make important steps they couldn't consider doing when they were younger. It's a time when people can take big strides in relation to themselves, the world and to nature. They can emerge from this process as real citizens of the planet."
Three Key Elements for Success
The team of coworkers and residents that shape the day-to-day activities at Camphill Youth Guidance communities point to three key elements of their success. …

I had some retainer called a bio-block. It straightened my teeth over about 3 years, but my teeth continued to get crowded later on. Molars removed and my front teeth still cross

my wife had braces when i met her, and i tell you drew-there is a way.
i feel so old reading this thread! i had braces waaaay back in the day. don't sweat it, tons of people get them and you'll look fabulous when they come off! (tho i'm sure you look fine right now, too)
Stay frosty.
Geez I'm glad my gf does'nt have bracesOriginally Posted by Drew12
I had braces not once, but twice. You'll get used to them in a couple weeks. Enjoy learning all the foods that like to get stuck all around them.
Oh braces have improved now.
I can even chew gum
Max, I had braces too when I was 13 (well, I had them put on when I was 11 and off when I was almost 14). They were a true gift given by two parents who worked hard to afford the bill. I had to have a palate separator for which my dad turned a key every night. This slowly stretched the bones in my mouth to widen it (I have the world's tiniest mouth even still!). It hurt horribly and I hated it. It broke my dad's heart to see me cry every time he approached me with the key. But when it was all said and done, I hugged and thanked him and my mother profusely - I would have had severe buck teeth otherwise! Good luck with those and know that it is worth it. Be sure to brush...blah, blah. You know the drill. Oh, and WEAR YOUR RETAINER for the rest of your life (trust me on this, please).
Hopefully that improved part won't also make for more difficulty coming off.
Braces time 1 = straighten teeth and all kinds of other fun
Braces time 2 = jaw surgery which let me tell you was a LOT of fun
merider1: I had one of those same spreaders. That would be part of that fun mentioned above. Also had the head gear that attached to the upper jaw braces that was supposed to pull my upper jaw forward. Didn't work. Thus the second time around.
According to my general dentist, when a youth gets braces, the thinking was that the cuspids and molars should be removed to allow room for the teeth to be realigned. Now, with TMJ problems propping up in a person's later years, the new thought is that the removal of the teeth actually is a factor in TMJ.

A blaze in Jacksonville�s Piney Green area torched foliage as firefighters and forestry officials plowed down trees and brush to protect homes in the fire�s path Saturday afternoon.
Fire officials worked the fire from Hunters Trail.
Chief Roy Hall of Piney Green Volunteer Fire Department said steady winds drove flames in the grass into the nearby woods, where the fire reached more fuel.
�It looks like it started out here in the road and just picked up and took off to the woodline,� Hall said.
The fire slowly crept toward houses on Yellowwood Drive, such as resident Demarcus Moore�s nearby home.
Moore initially thought the smoke in the area was coming from a neighbor burning trash or using a chimney until one of his children noticed a straight line of flames dangerously approaching his back gate.
�I called 911 and the fire department came out within a minute or two after I got off the phone,� Moore said. �The flames started to come closer and closer to our backyard, but the fire fighters sprayed the ground with water before it got too close to our gate.�
North Carolina Forestry Service officials used a plow to clear brush around the fire to contain it.
The official cause of the blaze is pending, but Hall said it was a �strong possibility� that a cigarette butt was a factor.

The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in French Studies is primarily for secondary teachers of French and anyone wishing to further their knowledge of the linguistics, culture, literature and film of France and Francophone countries. Through graduate-level seminars, you will explore in depth aspects of French and Francophone literature, culture, and language while also enhancing language skills. An additional benefit is the potential for professional advancement.
The certificate can be completed in 2 years (at 1 course per semester plus 1 summer course) but may be completed in up to 4 years.
The certificate is a self-contained program, however, certificate program credits may be transferred to the MA/PhD program. The certificate represents approximately one-half of the credit requirements for the French MA sequence. All scheduled graduate courses are open to students in the certificate program.
The post-baccalaureate certificate advisory committee consists of 2 faculty:
The post-baccalaureate certificate in French studies consists of 5 courses (15 credits) selected as follows:
Consider combining the certificate program with a summer immersion program, transferring up to 6 credits, for example, from the Middlebury College summer immersion program or similar programs.
Courses taken in France from American accredited graduate programs, such as the CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange) Critical Studies Program in Paris or New York University Program in France, may also be transferred, subject to your advisor's advance approval (6 cr. max.).
In addition, 1 of your 3 electives could be fulfilled through the independent study option. This involves contracting with a program faculty member to pursue a research project, which may be done in France or a Francophone country.
The French studies faculty covers a broad spectrum of fields in their research and teaching: Francophone studies (Africa, North Africa, Caribbean), Québec, immigration literature, film, linguistics, contemporary literature and culture, early modern culture and literature, and Medieval studies.
The following list represents a sampling of recent graduate courses:
For electives that may be taken outside of French studies, you have many choices. Along with courses in other areas of the humanities such as history, English, art history, theater, and music, consider teaching-related courses. Of particular interest would be advanced courses in pedagogy (speaking and listening, reading/writing, curriculum, and culture) offered by Second Languages and Cultures in the College of Education and Human Development.
In addition, the MA program in English as a Second Language (ESL) offers graduate courses designed not just for teachers of ESL but for any teacher of a second or foreign language. These are often held in the late afternoon so that teachers can attend during the academic year. Topics treated include language assessment, research in second language acquisition, and discourse analysis for language teachers.
The University's Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) offers an excellent menu of summer institutes, most of which may be taken for two graduate credits each. These institutes are designed especially for language teachers and attract teachers from all over the country. Institute topics include language assessment, basics of second language acquisition, teaching language and culture, immersion education, and teaching language through content.

WASHINGTON — As accusations of overbilling in the Navy's ship-supply network expand, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus on Friday acknowledged gaps in the Navy's oversight and announced plans to revamp its contracting practices.
Mabus said he had ordered a team of fleet and contracting officials to scrutinize the deficiencies in how the Navy awards the contracts and come up with changes to make it less vulnerable to fraud.
Mabus' comments, his first in public about the scandal, came after the owner of the Navy's main ship-supply company in the Pacific, Leonard Glenn Francis, was arrested in September on charges he bribed Navy officials to help him overcharge the Navy.
The service also suspended Inchcape Shipping Services last month from winning new contracts amid a civil fraud investigation at the Justice Department into accusations that it also overbilled the Navy for work in the Middle East and Africa.

This week, the Navy's largest ship-supply firm, Multinational Logistic Services, which provides port services in Africa, the Mediterranean, Central America and the Pacific, put a senior executive on leave while looking into questions about how he handled contracts at his former employer, Inchcape.
"I do think there were gaps in the contracting," Mabus said at the Pentagon.
He said the Navy was collecting more data about what provisions and equipment should cost in overseas ports and was working to set up a more centralized system for dealing with the suppliers.
Without that kind of system, firms that provide port services — including replenishing supplies, removing waste and providing port security — are easily able to charge inflated prices for certain vital items or services, causing contract costs to skyrocket, experts say.
Mabus, who also has ordered audits of all the supply contracts, credited the Navy's efforts to ferret out corruption for bringing the bribery scandal involving Francis' company to light.
"Without the Navy and Navy's actions, there would almost certainly be no story today," Mabus said.
He said there will be more disclosures about Francis' company but did not elaborate. "I certainly don't think we've seen the end of it," he said.
Three Navy officials have been arrested on charges of accepting cash, trips or prostitutes from Francis in exchange for helping him inflate his charges for fuel, food and other supplies. Four other Navy officials, including two admirals, were suspended while their ties to Francis are under investigation.
Mabus also said he would create a special Navy board, headed by a four-star admiral, to review cases of people tied to Francis, even if they are not prosecuted, to ensure that they "will be held appropriately accountable."

Writer-director Saurabh Varma, who has just completed comic thriller "Mickey Virus", is now planning an unconventional superhero movie titled "Raftaar Singh Superfast".
The film revolves around a lazy Punjabi with supernatural powers, who has a fetish for 'samosas'.
"The story of 'Raftaar Singh Superfast' is not just a regular conventional superhero saving the world... It is about a man, who discovers his own self in a very humorous way, just like the 'Munna Bhai' series," Varma said in a statement.
"The film breaks all conventional myths how a superhero should be and attempts to reinvent a Hindi movie superhero," he added.
"Raftaar Singh Superfast" targets the youth between the age group of 10 to 25 years across the country.
Varma has been working on the project since the last two years.
"This would be India's first superhero comedy. It will highlight the underdog hero in a way that the youth will love to see and connect with it," he said and added the team working on the project is quite excited.
The film is slated to go on the floors by the end of this year.
Who will play the main lead?
"Choosing the right hero for the project will be a task in itself, but we will only be able to finalise once the script is locked," said Varma.
"We are looking at an A-list actor to play the main lead and apart from the main lead, special effects will play an extremely important role in the project," he added.
So far Big names like Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan have played superheroes in "Ra.One", "Krrish" and "Drona" respectively.

After 12 years of campaigning, Republican Michael Speciale of New Bern won a seat in the General Assembly, the victor over Democrat Robert Cayton of Aurora, to represent N.C. House of Representatives District 3.
Speciale was clearly ahead of Cayton by about 6,000 votes in early unofficial totals from Craven, victorious in Pamlico with 3,597 for Speciale to Cayton�s 2,968, but Cayton won his home county of Beaufort with 4,779 votes to Sepciale�s 3,118.
Speciale said he felt confident before the rain began to fall and �I told my workers, �I feel like we�ll do it� and they should go home and not get sick. I didn�t think the voters remaining would turn the tide. I thank everybody who voted and contributed their efforts. I feel good about America, just in the amount of interest I�ve seen in this election.�
�I�m proud to be a Republican, a conservative, a Christian, and proud of my country,� said Speciale, a retired Marine.
In Pamlico County at about 6 p.m. and heading toward Craven to hear the results, Cayton said, �I�m cautiously optimistic.�
He had not conceded the race at press time.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - The father of the late LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg testified that he knows a Las Vegas doctor he's suing in a civil wrongful death case didn't kill his daughter.
Mel Blasberg told a Clark County District Court jury he sometimes had a strained relationship with his daughter as her father and coach.
But he declared that he doesn't think doctors can ever take off their white coat and be friends with a patient.
Blasberg's parents seek unspecified damages from Hess, who removed a suicide note and some medications after finding Erica Blasberg's body.
Hess denies the two had a romantic relationship.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says a viral disease has spread to deer populations across much of Nebraska.
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease spreads from deer to deer by the bite of a small insect known as a midge. Game and Parks said the virus is suspected in the reported deaths of more than 2,200 Nebraska deer this year.
The disease causes hemorrhaging within the deer's body. Deer suffering from the virus may develop a high fever and seek water, which is why many deer killed by the disease are found in or near water.
The disease is not a threat to humans.
The commission wants people to report to their nearest Game and Parks office any deer deaths that may be attributed to this disease.

Restoration of a baseball dynasty
The O'Malley family's deep roots in the game run from Brooklyn to L.A.
Baseball's Prince Charming just kissed a toad.
When news broke late Monday of the Padres' sale to the O'Malley clan, reports were dense with financial details. There was a stratospheric price (estimated at $800 million), speculation about the team's budget (going up!), assessments of Padres owner John Moores' tenure (good: one pennant and one new ballpark; bad: years of penny-pinching and on-the-field futility).
Padres sold to group headed by O'Malley heirs, Fowler, Mickelson
Look past the purchase to the purchasers, though, and you see something that resembles a fairy tale. One of baseball's royal families, a clan whose legendary consistency and vision once conquered baseball's two toughest markets, New York City and Los Angeles, owns a ragamuffin franchise with one of the sport's most lackluster histories.
The Padres (1969-present) have won two pennants and lost two World Series. In contrast, the O'Malley-led Dodgers (1950-1998) won 13 pennants and six World Series championships.
An earlier version of this story contained incorrected information about the number of pennants won by the Dodgers' during the O'Malley ownership and the number of years Tommy Lasorda served as manager.
Now this baseball dynasty is preparing to meet some of baseball's most downtrodden fans — and some already foresee a happily-ever-after marriage.
"It will be great for the city and great for the team," said former Dodgers general manager Fred Claire, who was an O'Malley employee for three decades. "You will see an ownership group that cares deeply about the community and that cares a great deal about the players."
"It will be absolutely sensational for San Diego," said Tom Villante, who spent more than 25 years as executive producer of the Dodgers' broadcasts. "The O'Malleys are in this for the long run."
If the sale is approved by Major League Baseball owners, the new ownership group will be led by Kevin and Brian O'Malley, and Pete and Tom Seidler. These cousins are all grandsons of Walter O'Malley, a baseball pioneer who ran the Dodgers from 1950 until his death in 1979. His historic stewardship of that team — plus the leadership of his son, Peter O'Malley, the club's co-owner from 1979 until 1998 — may offer clues to the Padres' future.
More recent evidence, though, may be found in the Central Valley town of Visalia. There, Kevin O'Malley and Tom Seidler own the Rawhide, a Class-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
How's that going?
"Your community," said Bob Link, a Visalia city councilmember, "would really benefit if the O'Malleys had an opportunity to run your ballclub."
Hated in New York
None of the four cousins have yet held prominent positions in professional sports. But their pedigree may buy them some goodwill and provide insight into the family business.
Kevin O'Malley and Tom Seidler, observers predict, will move to San Diego to lead the team's day-to-day operations. At least one person familiar with the past two generations of the family believes this duo possesses many of the same traits that allowed previous O'Malleys to thrive in baseball.
"They both are very smart, well-educated, yet very down-to-earth young men," said Bob Graziano, a former Dodgers president. "Kevin and Tom have had some experience getting to know baseball … and the good news is they have an elder statesman in that Peter that can act as a sounding board.
"They're young professionals. They aren't going to come in like they know it all, but they're coming in with a vast amount of knowledge. And you will see guys who work extremely hard to bring baseball back in San Diego."
This would be welcomed by Padres fans — despite a recent run of wins, the club is in fourth place — although reviving a moribund franchise would pale next to their grandfather's historic, game-changing accomplishment.

WCWS: OU's Jessica Shults no longer takes softball for granted
Jessica Shults might not have smiled the entire time she was on the field at Hall of Fame Stadium on Wednesday.
Then again, she might have.
No one would've blamed her.
The Oklahoma catcher was here a year ago when the Sooners made their first trip to the Women's College World Series in seven seasons. She wore the uniform. She relished the atmosphere. But coming off an illness that caused her to lose 25 pounds and miss half a dozen games, she hadn't been cleared to play.
"It's always been my dream to go to the world series," Shults said. "I've been watching it my whole life."
Last year, even though her team was playing, she was still watching.
This year is different.
Shults is back to her old self, and the Sooners are back at the WCWS. They will open at noon Thursday against South Florida.
"Having an opportunity to play at the world series," Shults said, "it's unreal."
She was smiling, of course.
Coincidentally, that happy face was something Shults put on frequently last season, but then, it was just a mask. She wanted her teammates to believe she was fine. She wanted her coaches to think there was no problem.
That was far from the truth.
Midway through the season, she started feeling sick, enduring stomach pain and abdominal cramps. She figured her heavy-on-the-burgers, light-on-the-fruit diet had caught up to her, so she decided to start eating better.
It didn't help.
Her energy plummeted. So did her weight.
Eventually, the coaches moved her from catcher to designated hitter, and she continued to play and gut it out as best she could. But those closest to Shults could see through the mask.
"It wasn't her," Sooner outfielder and Shults roommate Brianna Turang said. "She tried so hard to act like she was OK.
"We knew she was just in so much pain."
Shults was admitted to the hospital right before the Sooners started regionals, and over the next few days, she was poked, prodded and pricked. Doctors finally determined that she had pan-ulcerative colitis, an extremely rare genetic disease that has no cure and affects the body's digestive system.
Slowly but surely, doctors determined the meds that would work for her. And by the time her teammates were ready for their WCWS opener, she was out of the hospital.
She could go but not play.
Talk about tough.
With her sunny disposition, Shults shrugs off how difficult it was — "I was just lucky to be in the dugout with my team," she said — but she was this close to living a dream. She had watched the WCWS as a kid. She had fantasized about playing on that stage.
Even though she would be allowed to hit in the Sooners' second game, a loss that sent them home, she still wasn't herself.
She got to walk on the stage but not perform on it.
"It just made me realize how much I did love the game," Shults said of last year's WCWS. "Just walking onto the field for the first time again and seeing all the fans, it just made me feel, 'Wow, I really took this thing for granted.'"
No more.
Last Saturday as OU was buzzsawing its way through Arizona and the super regional, Sooner coach Patty Gasso turned to her catcher at one point in the dugout. Shults would end the day going 2 of 3 with one home run and two RBI.
The coach asked the player if she thought about how far she'd come.
Shults' eyes began welling with tears.
"I thought to myself, 'That was a dumb thing to do,'" Gasso said, laughing.
Shults understands what an opportunity she's been given. She's back on the field and back in good health. Doctors have adjusted her treatment throughout this season — they needed to see how she reacted to everything from exertion to sunlight — and now, she's off major meds and only taking maintenance meds.
One of only three Sooners to appear in every game this season, she has regained the weight that she dropped and the strength that she lost.
"Everything's under control now," she said. "It's just kind of perfect."
Shults is ready to perform on the WCWS stage, and chances are good, she'll be smiling all the way.

Hi, my name is Rebeckah! I am a Canadian/Norwegian currently residing in the lovely tropical land of Panama.
My mother taught me the basic crochet stitches when I was 10, and from there, I began crocheting simple clothes for my barbie dolls. As my skills developed, I got into crocheting more elaborate barbie doll designs, only this time the finished creations were for my younger sisters.
In my teens, I branched out into other areas such as accessories, bags, wallets, baby layettes, and other toys. Towards the end of 2012, I started working on my website. In March 2013, I finally published it, so I could share my hobby with the world.
Although, I enjoy exploring new ideas and crochet techniques, my first love is and always will be designing fashion doll sets. So, you'll see a lot of my designs find fun ways to incorporate them.
I love crocheting unique treasures, and making people happy with my creations! I hope you will enjoy them too through my patterns.
If you would like to read more about my creations, please visit my webpage www.rebeckahstreasures.com.
I have many free patterns on my blog, however, most incur a small fee as PDF downloads.
Be Sure to Follow Me on My Social Sites too, so you never miss a thing...
Do you know a little girl who is a Fairy & Doll fanatic? Do you love to crochet? If you answered 'yes' to both questions, then this is the perfect pattern for you.
This fairy crochet pattern for 11 1/2" fashion dolls has 12 pages, and is in a PDF format.
Instructions include how to crochet all of the pieces you see photos. Including, the dress, panties, slippers, scrunchy, wand, fairy dust pouch and of course, the wings.
This pattern is copyrighted to Rebeckah Ferger, however, you are more than welcome to sell what you make from any of my patterns.
