The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities has begun the process of finding a successor to Chancellor James H. McCormick, who plans to retire in July 2011. Former board chair David Olson has been appointed to head the search advisory committee, which will recommend finalists to the board.
A series of external signs will be installed on the Cambridge Campus and Coon Rapids Campus during the week of Nov. 15. The series includes modest monument signs and wayfinding signs to direct our students and visitors to various locations on campus. You may wonder why we don't add even more signs to increase awareness of our two campus locations. First, the city of Cambridge and the city of Coon Rapids limit the amount of sign square footage. In addition, this package is within the budgeted amount for college signs in the current fiscal year.
Feel free to take a look at the signs.
The Health and Wellness Center project is moving along, with an Request for Proposals (RFP) being published mid-October for a designer for the addition. There is an informational meeting for prospective designers this week and the Facilities team hopes to have all the proposals collected by Nov. 17. Once the proposals have been reviewed the Facilities team will narrow the selection down to three designers to be interviewed. Two designers will be forwarded to the President and Vice President and construction would most likely begin fall of 2011. We will keep you informed as the process continues.

Work by art Faculty Rachel Breen will appear in "Tikun: Repair, An Exhibit of the Jewish Women Artists' Circle," through Nov. 21, 2010 at Basilica of Saint Mary (Hennepin Ave. at N 16th St, Minneapolis).
The Artists' Reception is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 7, 1 to 3 p.m. A program, beginning at 1:15 p.m., will include a presentation and discussion on the concept of Tikun led by Rabbi Lilly Kaufman, Director of Jewish Learning; Adath Jeshurun Congregation and Johan van Parys, Ph.D., Director of Liturgy and Sacred Arts, The Basilica of Saint Mary.

For more information, call 612-333-1381 or visit the Web site.
Beginning today 33 faculty and staff volunteers will be out "knocking on doors," asking for your gift to one or both of our campus foundations' annual campus campaign. Please welcome your campaigner, as listed below.

SIP applications will be available in each department's budget packet. The application provides instructions, outlines the required content of the proposal, and will announce the strategic initiatives the proposals must support. Please ask your manager or supervisor for the application once budget packets are available if you do not have access to your department's budget packet and are interested in applying.
What is a SIP?
A SIP is the application written and submitted to the college's SIP Committee to request financial support for the project outlined in the proposal. The project must clearly relate to SIP-eligible strategic objectives. Projects funded through SIP grants are the testing ground for new or enhanced programs or market research or assessment to measure and evaluate the need for new or enhanced programs. The person or team who proposes the project, plus the appropriate administrator, is responsible for implementing the project, tracking, budgeting and reporting.
Strategic Initiatives Proposal (SIP) Process
In the late 1990s, at the request of Anoka-Ramsey Community College's president, a committee developed a process that provided an incentive for supporting special projects related to specific college strategic initiatives. As a result, the SIP process was implemented in 1999, with 76 projects receiving funding since then. The process is an integral part of Anoka-Ramsey's Integrated Budget Process. Funds are earmarked annually for SIP projects proposed by faculty, staff or students.
Do All Proposals Receive Funding?
Usually, they do not. Many factors are involved, beginning with the availability of funds each fiscal year. Further factors include the number of proposals, the SIP Committee's scoring of proposals and the importance of a proposal as it relates to a strategic objective.
Who Can Apply?
Any faculty, staff, student, or a combination thereof may submit a proposal. Usually a group of people collaborates to formulate the proposal. The group is often a cross-section of more than one discipline or department.
Contact Jill Snippen with any questions regarding the SIP process.
Gather information
You may enroll on the Web and go to Employee Self Service.

Nationally-renowned poet Patricia Smith will visit the Coon Rapids Campus Legacy Room, Nov. 2, noon to 2 p.m. as part of our Two Rivers Reading Series.
This is a unique opportunity for students to hear a national book award finalist read from and discuss her poetry collection titled, Blood Dazzler. Smith has authored four other collections of poetry. She has won the National Poetry Series Award for "Teahouse of the Almighty" and is a winner of the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award and Paterson Poetry Prize. She is also a Pushcart recipient and a record-setting poetry slam champion.
"Blood Dazzler" is a riveting, in-depth look at the emotional and social tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. Her visit will allow students to examine the storm's effects on our country and our response to it, examining the social, political, economic and personal impact of our response and lack thereof. Patricia Smith's poems weave together the horror and despair, as well as the helping and healing, during and after Katrina. American poet and human rights advocate Carolyn Forche wrote this about Smith's collection, "Blood Dazzler is Patricia Smith's impassioned lyric chronicle of a beloved city in peril, a city whose people were left to die before us all, a people who were the heart of our country and lifeblood of our culture." The presentation will be an invitation for our students to consider the economic and racial issues at the core of much of the Katrina controversy.
Thanks to the Department of Diversity and Multiculturalism for their support and sponsorship of this event. These events are free and open to the public.

Last week, Chancellor McCormick announced a realignment with Anoka-Ramsey Community College and Anoka Technical College under a single president. In addition, Keith Stover, president of South Central College will lead the search. Here is the complete press release.
I am calling all college employees to please consider making a donation to the college foundation(s).
If you have never contributed before, it is my wish that you might go without a cup of coffee, a movie ticket or some other treat, just one time, in order to use those funds as a donation – even $5 to $10 could make a huge difference if we all participate.
The economy has been tough on so many of us, particularly our students. Please say "Yes" to students this year.
Music Faculty member, Rich Manik has been invited to perform with the St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra:
Earlier this year, Rich performed the sopranino saxophone part in Ravel's Bolero with the orchestra.
The St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra presents high quality performances of orchestral music and educational outreach to the St. Cloud area to encourage participation by local and area musicians, and to further the understanding and appreciation of orchestral music.
The orchestra was established in 1975, and presents four formal concert programs each year which draw 600 patrons each.
Members of the orchestra are predominantly St. Cloud faculty, staff, alumni and students of area colleges and universities.
Congratulations, Rich!

This is our attempt to share the wealth of information that passes through our office. Each week we will provide some interesting facts on a different topic. Please feel free to comment on what we present and most importantly, talk amongst yourselves.
Did you know:
When asked to identify their main source of academic advising (help with academic goal-setting, planning, course recommendations, graduation requirements, etc.) from the time of their decision to attend Anoka-Ramsey through the end of the first three weeks of their first semester, most entering students reported their main source of advising did not come from faculty or staff at the college:

Cambridge Campus Academic Support Center Coordinator, Heidi Haagenson will sign her book, "The Tenney Quilt," at Scout and Morgan Bookstore in Cambridge on Saturday, Dec. 4, 11 a.m.
"The Tenney Quilt," emerged from my desire to learn more about my own personal history," says Heidi. "I began by researching the 700 names on the quilt and the town where four generations of my mother's family were born and raised. In the process, I saw stories emerge, and then the idea of writing a book occur."
The book is based on a historical signature quilt which Heidi now owns that has been in her family since it was made in 1928 in the little town of Tenney, Minn., where her mother was born and raised. As a fundraiser to buy a cook stove for the town hall, 700 participants, representing the people of Tenney and its surrounding area during the late 1920s, paid 10 cents to have their names embroidered onto the quilt.
The book is available for sale at Scout and Morgan Bookstore in Cambridge, Minn., at common online outlets such as amazon.com, and is in circulation at the libraries at both college campuses.
Two students, performing in the fall production of "Harvey" at the Coon Rapids campus, were selected to attend the regional John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts Festival at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.

A representative from the Region 5 committee was sent to judge the production of "Harvey."
An update will follow after the festival.
Congratulations, Nykeigh and Neil!
To drive recruitment for spring semester and to increase college awareness among community constituents, the Marketing Department has developed the latest promotional mass mailer/resource guide. This guide is mailed out to households in the college's nine-county service area, and is intended to encompasse all the academic, training, student life and student service offerings. The message drives readers to contact the college by phone or through electronic means.
This publication drives prospects to a landing page,to call x1840 or x1200, or send the hard copy "Ready for More" request by mail. Incoming calls will be tracked by the Coon Rapids Information Center and the Professional Training Front Desk.
Please note that the publication uses seven spreads to break out the college's Academic offerings into Interest Areas. Each Interest Area (Fine Arts, Biology, Computers, Education/Social Services, Engineering and Health/Wellness) is backed by a testimonial (in print and video).
Our value-added student resources and life outside the classroom pages serve as the strong, unique selling proposition for those who may be unsure of which college to choose or whether to attend college or not.
After you've had a chance to read the publication, feel free forward your comments and suggestions for future resource guides to the Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Mary Jacobson (x1315) or Communications Project manager, Tina Perpich ( x1545).

ZF-5718: Update the documentation 184.108.40.206 to reflect new behaviour regarding passed array values
Please update the documentation 188.8.131.52 to reflect new behaviour of where() regarding passed array values. From the code comment:
* If a value is passed as the second param, it will be quoted
* and replaced into the condition wherever a question-mark
* appears. Array values are quoted and comma-separated.
Suggest alteration: "The second argument to the where() method is optional. It is a value to substitute into the expression. Zend_Db_Select quotes the value and substitutes it for a question-mark ("?") symbol in the expression. Array values are quoted and comma-separated, e.g. for use in IN clauses."
A code sample could be
// Build this query:
// SELECT product_id, product_name, price
// FROM "products"
// WHERE name IN ('O\'Reilly','McIntosh','Amazon')
$select = $db->select()
array('product_id', 'product_name', 'price'))
->where('product_name IN ?',$nameArray);
I spent some time writing code to do this myself before I read the where() function comment ...
Set component and auto reassign
This issue may consist of 3 tasks.
1) change phpdoc of the where() and other methods that call $this->_adapter->quoteInto..

Berthod cyclist attacker found guilty
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
On July 18th of 2010 Bryce Barker attacked a cyclist with a bat on County Road 6 just outside of Berthod. The act destroyed the bike and terrified the cyclist. The case just finished in court and Bryce was found guilty. I find the comments to our orignal story on 303 to be rather comical now that the case is closed
LOVELAND - After nearly eight hours of deliberation, a jury Friday found Bryce Barker, 24, guilty of criminal mischief and menacing for attacking a group of cyclists in Berthoud last summer.
Barker faced felony counts of menacing and criminal mischief, to which he pleaded not guilty last fall. With the verdict, the jury reduced the criminal mischief charge to $500 to $1,000, making it a Class 1 misdemeanor. The menacing with a deadly weapon charge is a class 5 felony.

A team of chefs from the Talisker Restaurant Collection received accolades June 5 in Nicholas & Company's fifth annual Ultimate Chef Challenge at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy.
Three judges let their taste buds decide the winner after a 90-minute, five-course meal.
Chef Murcko hard at work.
To wow the judges, the team, headed by executive Chef John Murcko, prepared a nettle and mushroom tea sandwich followed by a micro-green salad with mushrooms. The delicious entrees to follow were a soft shell crab with uringi mushroom and beef cheeks with smoked shitake mushrooms.
For desert, the judges enjoyed porcini ice cream and almond cake.
Talisker's director of wine and spirits, Sean Marron provided wine pairings with the meal for the judges.
This isn't the first win for Murcko; he was also champion in 2009 and was a semifinalist for the James Beard Awards earlier in 2012.
At the event, Murcko was joined by the executive chefs from Talisker on Main and Bistro at the Canyons—Briar Handly and Zeke Wray—to create the winning meal.
Salivating readers don't just have to dream of this enticing menu, because guests can order from the chefs themselves at Talisker on Main (515 Main St., Park City) The Farm at Canyons (4000 Canyons Resort Road, Park City) and Slopes by Talisker (inside the Waldorf Astoria Park City at 2100 Frostwood Dr., Park City).

ZF-1919: Add support for NIL values in XML-RPC... Should I add it?
I ran into this when trying to interoperate with a python XMLRPC server.
There is an extension to the xml spec which allows a element in place of other values: http://ontosys.com/xml-rpc/extensions.php
I have already implemented this building off of handling for booleans, but I would like feedback as to whether I should submit the changes back into the main codebase.
Are there any cases where someone is sending or recieving PHP NULL values and is counting on them to be translated differently, e.g. as FALSE?
Assigning to [~matthew] to initiate issue review.
Tentatively scheduling for 1.1.0
What is the status of this issue? Is it approved for inclusion in 1.5?
Scheduling for first mini-release following 1.5.0 GA release.
Because in next week I will need Nil in XML-RPC of Zend Framework, I've implemented this part by my self on this weekend. In patch you will find Zend_XmlRpc_Value_Nil, changes for Zend_XmlRpc_Value and Zend_XmlRpc_Server. Moreover, some tests for Nil added.
Because I didn't found the way, how to write correct tests for this (passing NIL from client to server and getting it back), I'm sharing my simple client and server that I've used for developing and tests.
NIL support added to trunk and release 1.5 branch.
Is there a way to disable this funtionality, and use the old behaviour (empty string)? Since it is an extension to XML-RPC, it isn't implemented by all XML-RPC clients (CodeIgniter for example).

This book is an ongoing collection of photographs taken over the last decade while traveling around the continental United States. Sometimes the trips were for work & some were my own personal discoveries. During all of it, I wanted to document what I was experiencing and to show where I was with the same sense of grandeur, curiosity, or humor that I happened to find before me. This is the first time that I've stopped to pull together all the images from those trips and present them as one body of work. It's been fulfilling, but a surprisingly difficult task, trying to step back from my photos & the experiences that went along with them and see these past years collected into a single idea.
Between Both Shores.... is my look at who & what we are as a country... From Seattle to The Florida Keys, From Maine to the Salton Sea, it's been an interesting journey exploring our geography, nature, architecture, cultures, religion, politics, and life... There truly is a lot of diversity in this country, and I hope I'm able to show what I've experienced in a way that will intrigue you as much as it has me over the years. Thanks a lot, Stew
Stewart found his interest in photography at the young age of 15 while growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was always seen spending his time living in the darkroom, working on the yearbook or school newspaper. Those formative years solidified his goals of having career in photography. A few years later, he loaded up and followed his dreams to New York City to study at The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. There he recieved his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography back in 2001. He began to shoot commercial assingments early on during his second year in school and things have taken off from there. These days Stewart finds himself living in Brooklyn with his wonderful wife Suzanne and little dog Sonya. His love has always been portraiture, but it's only a small portion of what has intrigued him about photography. The many personal projects he is always working on, mostly about his travels or life, always keeps him busy inbetween assignments.

During the offseason embarrassment, I made a lot of comments. I made
fun of it all, and made up nicknames for all of the major players.
and in another comment, I made reference to them being the three
stooges (http://dolphinblog.bitchindave.com/2011/01/im-more-skeptical-than-ever.html,
oh and by the way, see the picture I posted before Bill left here:
I went on to say that Sparano was a "lame duck"
(http://dolphinblog.bitchindave.com/2011/01/say-what.html) this
season, owing to the sham and his signing a contract extension. I
fully expected he would be fired, and the dolphins would underperform.
I called them a joke and said they had to earn my respect
and then finally I said they had to win 11 games - and laid out my
expectations (http://dolphinblog.bitchindave.com/2011/01/youve-thrown-down-gauntlet.html).
And here we are. They will finish no better than 7-9, and
realistically will probably lose at least 2 of their last 3. The
Bootin' Bull will almost certainly be gone. The furious enigma, who
knows? Schmoe Montana already has both feet out the door. And Cap'n
Izzy remains here.
And that means its open season. Here goes - Cap'n Izzy, your team is
a fraud. All that crap in January did nothing but prolong the
inevitable. It wasted an entire season, and drove fans away (they
wanted the team to succeed - look at how they clung to the absurd
belief that after 0-7 they could make the playoffs, then finish 8-8;
they were still fans). In the end, though, a lockout would have been
a better alternative. You couldn't possibly be considering
"tinkering" with your team, could you? This team is a joke, a joke
perpetrated by you, and in turn on you.
Tony managed to keep the otherwise forgettable players together, and
they were playing hard and saying the right things because they're
paid professionals. They always want to win - and meet any incentives
in their contract. But Sunday, much like week 1 against the Pats,
showed just how far away this team is. In week 1, the Pats toyed with
the Fins. Yesterday, the talent on the Eagles was too much. Its
crazy - there's not enough coaching, and there isn't enough talent or
You still haven't earned any respect from me - and its going to be
harder to get it now. Thing is, when it comes to football, I am a
passionate fan with a long memory. I despise Nick Saban and Bill
Parcells. I didn't like what JJ did here, and Dave letting Welker get
away - to the Patriots for the love of Pete! - is still something to
be annoyed about. Its going to take A LOT to reel me back in. And
telling me "we're close on personnel" isn't going to cut it with me.
Nope its time for wholesale changes. Shake everything up. You *need*
a coach who is brash and not afraid to speak up once in a while (I
don't want anymore of "well, we believed in ourselves, and when it was
26-7, and we got that field goal wow did we think we were on our way
to a comeback." That's crap.) You need to let players speak their
minds. You need to stop shutting fans down. Make the team feel
accessible. And you need a little star power ON THE FIELD. Get a QB
with charisma, whoever that is. Please let me hear about a prima dona
receiver who says "throw me the damn ball" - at least I'll know he
This is utter nonsense - and I'm so glad I stayed true to what I said
- I bought no merchandise, no tickets, nothing. But I consumed the
product when I felt like it, and continued to speak my mind.
What an embarrassment this franchise has become.

Time to reflect - and speak my mind
Posted by David Kennedy
3 comments
I was going to post the same thing, Mr. Dave having trouble speaking (or writing) his mind? Nah.
I'm glad you pointed out the field goal - with essentially nothing to lose the guy goes for a FG rather than try to get a TD - that one play epitomizes why Sparano will be unemployed very soon.

Legendary Georgia Bulldogs football announcer Larry Munson died at 89-years-old after battling complications with pneumonia. He called games for 42 years before his final game, Georgia and Central Michigan, Sept. 6,2008 and provided several memorable moments calling Florida-Georgia games along the way.
Sports Topics manager Tim Stephens last caught up with 81-year-old Munson in 2003. Munson said he could only see himself calling game for one to two more years, but ultimately retired four years later.
Q. Do you have any favorite memories of the Georgia-Florida game?
A. Not really. It's always such a large event. There used to be a lot more drinking in the old days. You used to see bottles come over the top of the stadium and crash down on the street while walking to get on buses. I've always said that at least one time, I was going to do it like everybody else and walk the beach, but so far I haven't done that.
Q. Every Georgia fan has his list of your favorite calls. Do you have a list?
A. They had five of my calls at the Hall of Fame this summer (Munson was the 2003 winner of the Schenkel Award for broadcasting). The Buck Belue-to-Lindsay Scott call [against Florida] in 1980 is probably my favorite, because it meant a national championship and was probably the biggest play I ever called.
Q. How much longer do you plan to do this? And what will you miss when you finally walk away?
A. One or two more years. I'm not going to do it much longer. . . . I'll miss the excitement of the game itself. There's nothing like football. You could be in a hotel in Lexington to play Kentucky for the conference championship in basketball, but that just doesn't compare to the night before a football game. There is nothing like football that arouses the fans and gets you excited.

Hey Ya'll
Now I know I've seen here and there a mention of Red-Stick Firearms, and now its Red Jacket Firearms.
I understand the red-stick part (a quick french lesson and a read of the BR wiki), but who dreamed up Red-Jacket?
(Please bear in mind that I'm on the other side of the world from BR, almost 7700 miles away in New Zealand. Local sayings don't mean much to a very non-local.)
Also, if you're Red Jacket firearms, why isn't there a Red Jacket on the sales list?

ASK IRA: What is missing most from Heat?
Q: What is missing most this season so far for the Heat? — Ed.
A: Mike Miller. That's not an excuse, just the reality. Take the fourth best player away from most contenders and it is an issue, be it Lamar Odom from the Lakers, Ray Allen from the Celtics or even Vince Carter from the Magic. This is what happens when nearly $45 million of your salary cap goes to three players. The questionable depth certainly is becoming an issue, with potential lineup changes looming.
Q: Is LeBron capable of playing within an offensive system? — David.
A: Yes, but apparently only one that is built around him as the primary ballhandler. I can't recall him playing off the ball at all this season. In this mix, it is a skill he is going to have to learn at some stage.
Q: There have been a lot of complaints after losses so far, but, as a fan, this is kind of what I envisioned during the first 20 games or so of the season with this team, beating the weaker teams with their talent and struggling a bit with the better teams because of the unfamiliarity of this group. Your thoughts? — Clark.
A: I think because the Celtics came together so quickly in 2007-08, there was a similar expectation here of a quick start. I know this sounds way too cliche, but what matters most at this stage is learning from mistakes, be it the inactive start against the Hornets, the blown lead against the Jazz or the lack of continuity against the Celtics. What matters most is now not getting seduced by potential upcoming blowouts against the Raptors, Bobcats, Grizzlies and Pacers.
Q: Prior to the season, I really looked forward to seeing the Bosh-Haslem combo play big minutes together. It's just not working though. — Kevin.
A: No, it is not. Chris clearly has an aversion to playing center and mixing it up inside. The problem is there isn't much in the way of centers on this roster and minutes have to be created for Haslem. Ultimately, it could come down to having to sacrifice some current personnel for more in the middle.
Q: I just don't see us working on an inside game. Heck, our 7-footer is even a perimeter shooter. Where do you see that inside presence coming from? If LeBron refuses to post, do we even have another option? — Jeff.
A: I think the Heat needs to invert more and LeBron and Wade taking advantage of mismatches inside. If one gets on the block, it could create more of a two-man game. If not, how about at least a few more 2-3 pick-and-rolls?

Milford police on Friday arrested a 37-year-old former Dover resident accused of shoplifting tobacco products from a convenience store earlier this month.
Dana L. Porter was wanted after allegedly stealing an undisclosed amount of tobacco products from Mills Brothers Market at 508 S.E. Second St., just after 10 a.m. on Dec. 13.
Earlier this week, Milford police released information about the incident along with surveillance camera images taken at the convenience store in the hopes of tracking down Porter.
Detective Dwight Young said the department subsequently received numerous tips regarding Porter's whereabouts that ultimately led to her arrest.
Porter is charged with shoplifting under $1,000 and also was wanted on five warrants issued by the Kent County Court of Common Pleas.
She has been released on an unsecured bond, police said.

Sally Lou Fraser Moller was taken home to be with the Lord on Sunday, December 23, 2012 at her home in Woodside, Delaware. She was 70 years old at the time of her passing. The cause of death was Cancer.
She was born in 1942 in Rahway, New Jersey; Sally was the youngest of the three daughters of Viola and George Fraser. Sally is survived by her eldest sister Janet Kradjel, but was preceded in death by her sister, Doris Blake, earlier this year.
Sally was involved in many activities in her youth including Girl Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Candy Striping at Rahway Hospital, and she played clarinet in the school band. She graduated from Jonathan Dayton Regional High School, home of the Bulldogs and later earned a degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse.
On November 1, 1964, Sally married Charles L. Moller at the Second Presbyterian Church in Rahway and they remained in matrimony through her passing. Her career began as a Practical Nurse in New Jersey, and continued at Kent General Hospital after her move to Delaware with her husband who was stationed at Dover Air Force Base. With the arrival of her children, Sally's career changed and she began driving a school bus for handicapped children and eventually served as a Teacher's Aid for the Intensive Learning Center in the Caesar Rodney School District.
Sally is survived by 4 children, including, her son, Charles, and his wife, Kristen, her son, Edward, and his wife, Lee, a daughter, Lisa, and her husband, Gene, and her son, John, and his girlfriend, Katherine. She leaves behind 4 grandchildren; Angel, TC, Charles and Mary; and one great-grandchild. Sally is also survived by 6 nieces and nephews, including Donna Michener, Elaine Heiserman, Howard Kradjel, Susan Smith, Raymond and David Whelan.
To say that Sally had a big family is an understatement, as everyone was truly a part of her family. She accepted so many people into her home and into her life. There are literally hundreds of people who called her mom; due to her big and open heart, and years of service with 4-H, the Red Cross, the Modern Maturity Center, the YMCA, and through the Woodside United Methodist Church. She was an overwhelmingly supportive parent in just about every activity her children and grand children participated in, and could be seen at every game, meet, performance, or show (albeit often arriving just a little late.) Sally was a farm girl at heart. She loved sheep and found great joy in raising them for several years with her youngest children.
Services for Sally will include a viewing from 1pm to 3pm, and a funeral service from 3pm-4pm at the Pippin Funeral Home, 119 West Camden Wyoming Ave; Wyoming, DE on Wednesday January 2, 2013. For those wishing to further honor the memory of Sally Moller, please remember that the Delaware 4-H Foundation (122 Townsend Hall; Newark, DE 19716) and the Woodside United Methodist Church (1407 Main St; Woodside, DE 19980) are always accepting donations to continue and improve their services for the people that Sally loved.

|Alumni Awards for Excellence
MOSCOW, Idaho – Every year, the University of Idaho honors the top 10 percent of its senior class with Alumni Awards for Excellence and for 2012-13, five Vandal student-athletes were recognized in that select group.
Janelle Chow of the volleyball team, Kelsie Saxe of the swim & dive team and soccer players Jill Flockhart, Lauren Layton and Chelsea Small were recognized with the awards, which are given to approximately 40 students annually "who have achieved outstanding academic success and have demonstrated career and professional preparation; campus and community leadership and involvement."
At least two student-athletes have been honored with the awards every year since 2007, but this year's five selections are the most in a single year.
"We have high expectations that our student-athletes will excel in their sport and the classroom," Idaho director of athletics Rob Spear said. "This is another example of the quality of our student-athletes and their commitment to excellence."
Janelle Chow
Chow is a libero on the volleyball team from Mercer Island, Wash. (Mercer Island HS). She earned Western Athletic Conference All-Tournament Team honors last week after helping to lead the Vandal women into their first appearance in the WAC Championship match. She finished the season ranked third in the WAC in digs per set (4.59) and ninth in service aces per set (0.23).
Her 559 digs this season were second-most in Idaho single-season history, while her 1,064 career digs rank sixth all-time at Idaho. Chow ranked second on the team in 2012 with 24 service aces and held serve as the Vandal women fought off three straight match points in the fifth game of the WAC semifinal to win and advance to the title game.
"It's pretty amazing what she has been able to do in her time in college," said Idaho volleyball coach Debbie Buchanan. "She only sleeps like four hours a day. She has three different jobs. She is involved in so many things. In my 13 years at Idaho I don't think I've ever had a player as involved in as many things as Janelle and she stays on top of everything."
Chow is an Exercise Science and Health major who holds a 3.59 cumulative grade-point average. She is a two-time WAC All-Academic honoree who is due to graduate in May.
"She always has a smile on her face and is always bouncing around," Buchanan said. "She has formed a lot of relationships on campus and in the community based on how outgoing she is."
Jill Flockhart
Flockhart is an outside midfielder from Salmon Arm, British Columbia (Salmon Arm Secondary), for the Vandal soccer team. She is a three-time All-WAC selection, with a pair of First-Team picks in 2010 and 2011. She also was honored in 2011 as a National Soccer Coaches Association of America Third-Team All-West Region pick. She ended her career in 2012 ranked second all-time at Idaho with 17 career assists. She also ranks third all-time in game-winning goals (5) and fourth in career points (35).
She played in and started 83 consecutive games at Idaho – every Vandal game since 2009 – both school records that she shares with three teammates.
"It's great when an international student gets recognition, because the school system here is a little different and there is an adjustment period," Idaho head soccer coach Peter Showler said. "For Jill to be able to do that and receive this type of accolade along with everything she's done on the pitch, gives her just rewards. She's done a fantastic job of balancing everything and performing so well all around."
Flockhart in an International Studies major with an emphasis on Global Development and a focus on Latin America. She is a three-time WAC All-Academic honoree and a 2011 NSCAA Second-Team Scholar All-Region honoree who holds a 3.85 cumulative GPA. She plans to study abroad next year and continue her playing career through Soccer Without Borders.
Lauren Layton
Layton is a defender on the soccer team from Spokane, Wash. (Mead HS). She was voted Most Inspirational Player by her teammates in 2011 and was a 2010 Second-Team All-WAC honoree. She finished her career ranked third all-time in career assists with 15.
In addition to her soccer exploits, Layton took an ASUI Service Break trip to Africa during her junior year, after which she returned to Idaho and founded a campus chapter of Love146, an organization that raises awareness and supports efforts to end child trafficking and exploitation around the world.
"Running a club is like a full-time job," Showler said. "Balancing that with soccer and school, while keeping the GPA she has is indicative of her commitment to doing as well as she can in everything she does.
Doing all of this on top of her overseas quests is just a phenomenal achievement. She embodies the true student-athlete and she is a very good ambassador for the University of Idaho."
Layton is a three-time WAC All-Academic honoree, a 2010 CoSIDA Second-Team Academic All-District honoree and 2011 NSCAA Honorable Mention Scholar All-West Region pick. She will graduate in May with a degree in International Studies, with an emphasis in international relations and an area focus on Africa.
Kelsie Saxe
Saxe is a swimmer from Verong, Wis. (James Madison Memorial HS) who specializes in the breaststroke and individual medley at Idaho. She holds Idaho's school records in the 100- and 200- yard breakstrokes and is a member of Idaho's school-record 200-yard and 400-yard medley relays. She ranks in the top 10 in Idaho history in both the 200 IM and the 100 butterfly.
This season as a senior team captain, she helped lead the Vandal women to the program's first dual-meet victory over Northern Arizona.
"Kelsie is one of the finest young ladies I have ever have had the pleasure to work with," said Idaho head swimming coach Mark Sowa. "She is a thoughtful leader who seeks out teammates who may be struggling and helps them in the right direction. Her motivation as a student is evident in how she carries herself and the pride she takes in being a Vandal. She is very much deserving of such an honor."
Saxe is a Public Relations major with a 3.93 cumulative GPA who will graduate in May. She is a three-time WAC All-Academic honoree and last season helped the women's team earn a Collegiate Swimming Coaches of America Scholar All-America Team honor.
Chelsea Small
Small is a forward on the soccer team from Solana Beach, Calif. (Torrey Pines HS), who ended her career in November as Idaho's all-time scoring leader. She holds Idaho program records for both single-season and career goals, points, game-winners and shots. She also shares the program record games played and started at 83. She finished her career with 39 goals, 13 assists, 91 points and 16 game-winners on 404 shots. Small ended her career ranked in the top 10 in WAC history in career goals, points and shots.
"It's a culmination of everything she's put together over her four years here," Showler said of Small's honor. "The minute she stepped on campus, she's gone from strength to strength, both on the pitch and in her academics."
Small is a four-time First-Team All-WAC honoree (the first in school history) and a two-time NSCAA All-West Region pick. She was the 2009 WAC Freshman of the Year and the 2010 WAC Offensive Player of the Year. She was a three-time WAC Offensive Player of the Week and a three-time all-tournament team selection.
Her academic honors match her athletics ones. She's a three-time CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-District honoree, a 2010 Second-Team Academic All-American, a 2011 NSCAA First-Team Scholar All-West Region honoree, in addition to three WAC All-Academic honors.
"She has multiple accolades in soccer, and it's always nice to see her getting these academic awards to back up that she is a true student-athlete," Showler said. "She embodies and typifies that title and she's fully deserving of everything she gets."

text: The Lord's Prayer concludes with the words, "Deliver us from evil." In asking this, we are not asking to be delivered from some vague force or bad luck. Rather, we are asking to be delivered from the influence and power of a real person, the Devil, also known as the Evil One. His kingdom of death has been defeated, and so his power is limited, but he still seeks to lead us astray. When we pray to be delivered from the Evil One, we are praying to be delivered from the culture of death, and to stay faithful to Christ's Kingdom of Life. We are praying that we will not be deceived by the false promises of the Evil One, who presents abortion as a solution to a problem, though it is no such thing.

Fordham Rallies to Beat Men's Basketball in Brooklyn, 63-60
Princeton had scored 12 straight points to build a 54-43 lead with a little more than five minutes to go in the game, but Fordham began its comeback, closing the game on a 20-6 run.
The loss dropped Princeton to 3-6 on the season while Fordham snapped a five-game losing streak and improved to 2-8.
Ian Hummer led Princeton with 18 points, one off the game-high 19 that Branden Frazier had for Fordham. Will Barrett joined Hummer in double figures with 13 points.
Chris Gaston, who averaged 11.3 points per game for Fordham early this season before losing a month to a knee injury, had 16 points in his first game back since Nov. 13. Ryan Canty added a double-double with 12 points and 15 boards for Fordham.
Princeton held a four-point lead with 34 seconds to go on a pair of Ian Hummer free throws, but Fordham's Frazier hit a 3-pointer on the team's next possession. Following a Princeton miss on the front end of a 1-and-1, Fordham took advantage, as Canty had the go-ahead layup with eight seconds to go.
That bucket made it 61-60 Fordham, and after a Hummer drive to the bucket didn't fall, Princeton had to foul and the Rams' Bryan Smith drained both free throws to make it 63-60 with 1.2 seconds left. That was enough time for T.J Bray to inbound a ball that found Hummer out beyond the 3-point line, but his desperation try hit the rim and didn't go.
The Tigers continued their struggles staying on top, holding leads of at least eight points against every opponent except Syracuse this season but winning only three of those eight games.
Fordham continued a trend, outrebounding a third straight opponent by double digits. That 39-28 rebounding edge was key for the Rams, who had 10 offensive rebounds that led to 11 second-chance points. That statistic stood out on a day when other measures were close, with Princeton outshooting Fordham 41.2 percent to 40.8 percent, and neither team shooting well from distance, Princeton going 5 of 20 and Fordham 2 of 10.
Princeton will try to rebound with two games in quick succession in Jadwin Gym, against Rider Thursday at 7 p.m. and against Bucknell Saturday at 7 p.m.
Postgame Notes
• Princeton and Fordham played 27 times between 1904 and 1989, but only once since, a Princeton win at Fordham in 2008. Fordham's win snapped Princeton's four-game winning streak in the series and was the Rams' first win over the Tigers since 1981.
• Ian Hummer's 18 points moved him into ninth place on the Princeton career scoring list, now with 1,308 points. Next on the list is a classmate of Hummer's uncle John Hummer '70, as Geoff Petrie '70 is in eighth place with 1,321 points.
• Hummer moved past Brian Taylor '84 into seventh place on Princeton's career field goals list, now with 510. Peter Campbell '62 is next at 516.
• With a team-high seven rebounds, Hummer passed the 600 career rebound mark on the same day he passed the 1,300-point mark. He's now got 603 career boards, seventh at Princeton since the stat began being kept in 1954-55. Andy Rimol '74 is next on that list at 617.
• Freshman Hans Brase had a career-high eight points, going 4 of 5 from the field.
• Sophomore Denton Koon had his first multi-steal game as a Tiger with a career-best three swipes.
• Junior Will Barrett scored in double digits in back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 13-16. He also tied a career high with three 3-pointers.
• Sophomore Bobby Garbade had his first field goal of the season.

I was his patient 2 years ago.But most importantly, he is well respected by his peers in the GI surgical filed.He is currently also the surgical director of Center for Advanced Liver and Pancreatic Care at ShermanHealth System.
God bless.
Hi everyone! My brother Bruce (Pittsburgh, PA) has an outstanding trio of doctors:
Surgeon: Dr. Wallis Marsh (UPMC)
Oncologist: Dr. Stanley Marks (UPMC - Hillman Center)
General Physician: Dr. Jim Gleason
For folks in the Santa Cruz-Monterey Bay Area, I have been treated/advised by the following physicians:
1) Dr. Michael Yen: Oncology (Santa Cruz)
2) Dr. Jay Meisel: Radiation Oncology (Santa Cruz)
3) Dr. Lester Miller: Internist,Rheumatology (Santa Cruz)
4) Dr. Carlos Esquivel: Stanford Hospital, Surgery Center
5) Dr. George Fisher: Stanford Hospital, Cancer Center
Resources are limited in this area, we are fortunate to be near Stanford. Dr. Fisher is an authority on CC. Dr. Miller has practiced and taught for forty years, and is my local "go to guy" for advice.
Thanks so much. This particular thread established by patients and caretakers has become one important resource to others searching for physicians familiar with this disease.
It could not have happened without "you."
Thanks to all,
Head to St. Louis!! Dr. William Chapman at Barnes-Jewish St. Louis MO. He is one of the best (google him), he saved my life twice, I am a CC survivor because of God and him, and that is exactly how he would list it!
Lots of prayers-Cathy
Read my story at thetelegraph.com under christmas miracle
Thanks Cathy.
Again I would like to revive this thread.
Thanks much,
I am sure he is listed on here.
Dr. Myron Schwartz
Mt. Sinai Hospital , NY City
He saved my mother's life.
Hi again,
just want to make sure that we keep this thread updated. Thank you everyone for your kindness.
Hi all, just want to revive this thread once more.
Thanks much,
Hi everyone. I got my liver resection at University of Pittsburgh David Geller (wonderful)
However I live in Portland Oregon, therefore my oncologist is Gina Vaccaro
Best of Luck!
Thanks, Susie.
I was being treated at Mayo in Minnesota but changed last year to Regions Cancer Care Center in St Paul Minnesota. I see Dr Randy Hurley and am very pleased with him.
Thanks, Jamie.
Hi all....just thought to revive this posting again.
Thanks much,
My daughter, Lauren, receives her care at The University of Michigan Hospitals .
Her oncologist is Dr. Mark Zalupski.
Her liver specialist and surgeon (if she is ever able to have surgery) is Dr. Christopher Sonnenday.
Dr. Zalupski is more to the point kind of doctor. Dr. Sonnenday is very warm and caring.
Thanks, Pamela.
Providing some info for SoCal readers. My sister (32 at the time) had a Whipple performed in 2009 and adjuvant chemo (Gemzar/Xeloda) for 6 months (2 weeks on, 1 off). So far we've been working through the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and have had no problem with their aggressive planning and decisive nature. Currently investigating radiation oncologists and others for more variety in opinions.
Dr. Oscar Joe Hines, surgeon, UCLA
Dr. Edward Garon, chemotherapy oncologist, UCLA
Dr. Percy Lee, prospective radiation oncologist, UCLA
Thank you, baroque
Hi. Dad is in Lexington, KY. Here are his doctors:
Oncologist: Dr. Willliam Camp, Lexington Clinic
Surgeon: Dr. William Walton
Radiologist: Dr. Shailendra Chopra
Though it's a smaller clinic than the major cancer centers, we can't say enough good things about his doctors and the care he's gotten there.
Second opinions:
University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center. Dr. Philip A. DeSimone.
Cleveland Clinic: Dr. Dale Shepard
We really, really liked Dr. Shepard. We left the appointment with more clarity about the situation than we'd had in the 2 months since dad's diagnosis.
Thank you,goodheartedmommy
Hi all....thought to revive this again.
thanks much
I'm seeing a local oncologist in Huntsville AL, and then I got to MD Anderson to see Dr. Javle. We will be going next month for scans and meeting with him again.

The four-day event will kick off tonight with a concert on Lower Main Street at 7 p.m., followed by three straight days of competition.
First up will be moguls on Thursday, followed by an aerial competition on Friday and a dual mogul event on Saturday.
Bryon Wilson, 2010 Olympic mogul bronze medalist and current Park City resident, will be in attendance, trying to recapture some of the magic he experienced in Vancouver.
On the women's side, Olympic mogul qualifier Heather McPhie, who has lived in Park City for seven years, will be trying to earn a victory on a course she knows well.
"I love this course," she said. "It's one of my favorites."
She added that knowing what to expect from the course will help her throughout the week.
"We travel so much for competition, so we don't really train on this course much more (than other skiers)," she said. "It's definitely really helpful knowing that it's the longest course on the tour and the most taxing physically."
McPhie will be participating in the mogul and dual mogul competitions, both of which will hold their finals at night.
"I love skiing under the lights," she said. "Competing at night is great."
Skiing at her home course is also something McPhie is looking forward to. She said she can't wait to ski in front of her friends and family.
"So many of our families come out," she said. "I'm really excited. We get such an awesome fan base."
The mogul finals will take place on Thursday at 7 p.m., with dual mogul finals on Saturday night at 6:30 p.m.
Parkite Dylan Ferguson will lead a group of local aerialists into competition Friday. The aerial finals take place at 6:45 p.m.
All events are free to the public.
Where: Deer Valley Resort
Cost: Free for all spectators

On the island of Malta, where unborn children are still protected, there is a campaign called "plus nine." The idea is to make people aware that their unique and individual lives began not on the day of their birth but on the day they were conceived. That is the day they began to exist. Through this effort, the plus sign, and the number 9, are placed in as many places as possible, to make people think of this simple, powerful concept, which is based not simply on religious belief, but on biological fact. Some observe this fact by celebrating not only their birthday, but their "FirstDay," nine months earlier. Indeed, the children in the womb are real people. Through simple efforts like "plus nine," we can help people realize that it is wrong to kill them.
–Fr. Frank
