Port Orange's Lochte to swim at Grand Prix in Orlando
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 9:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 12:09 a.m.
Port Orange swimmer Ryan Lochte still trains in Gainesville, but his hometown fans rarely have an opportunity to watch the 11-time Olympic medalist compete live.
If You Want to Go
WHAT: Arena Grand Prix at Orlando
WHERE: YMCA Aquatic Center, 8422 International Drive, Orlando
WHEN: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Preliminaries, 9 a.m. (each day). Finals, 6 p.m. (each day).
TICKETS: Adults, $15 per session; children 8-and-under, $5 per session. All-session pass, $65. Tickets available at the admissions desk at the aquatic center.
U.S. Olympians scheduled to compete:
Ryan Lochte, Tyler Clary, Missy Franklin, Dana Vollmer, Conor Dwyer, Anthony Ervin, Amanda Weir, Charlie Houchin, Kate Ziegler, Christine Magnuson.
International swimmers:
Ryan Cochrane, Canada; Wu Peng, China; Alia Atkinson, Jamaica; Felipe Lima, Brazil.
But Thursday through Saturday, local fans will get to see Lochte race in person at the Arena Grand Prix at the YMCA Aquatic Center in Orlando.
The event is the third stop on the 2012-13 Arena Grand Prix Series and the first Grand Prix event to be held in Orlando.
"The Grand Prix meets are key to keeping the Olympians sharp,'' said Lochte's father and Daytona Beach Swimming coach, Steve Lochte. "It's nice that this one's here in Florida.''
Lochte is among five 2012 U.S. Olympic gold medalists scheduled to swim in the three-day meet. He's scheduled to be joined by Missy Franklin, Dana Vollmer, Tyler Clary and Conor Dwyer. Several other U.S. and international Olympians are also expected to compete.
There are six Grand Prix meets before the Phillips 66 National Championships on June 25-29 in Indianapolis and the Fina World Championships on July 16-Aug. 5 in Barcelona.
Lochte competed at the first two Grand Prix stops, winning five events in Minneapolis on Nov. 9-11 and one in Austin, Texas, on Jan. 18-20.
He has been varying his events in the series. At Minneapolis, he swam in the 50-yard freestyle and in Austin, he swam in the 100-meter breaststroke — two events that are not on his schedule at major competitions.
"He's mixing it up as much as he can to get a little variety instead of doing the same events over and over,'' Steve Lochte said. "He's chopping up the (individual medley) into individual events. It keeps things active and interesting.''
Steve Lochte said two of his Daytona Beach Speed swimmers — Kendal Casey and Viktor Toth — will compete in the 100 freestyle events Saturday as a tuneup for next weekend's Florida Swimming Senior Championships, which also will be at the YMCA Aquatic Center.
"It will give them some exposure to that level of competition,'' Steve Lochte said.
"Quite a few of our swimmers and parents are coming (to the Grand Prix) to watch,'' the coach added. "They want to see Ryan, Missy Franklin, Dana Vollmer and (U.S. Olympian) Anthony Ervin. It's a chance to see the elite swimmers in person.''

Mayor Williams Appoints Alfonso Ballard as Commissioner of the Department of Public Works
Posted on 05/10/2013 2:31 pm
Mayor Dennis P. Williams appoints Alfonso Ballard as the Commissioner of the Department of Public Works.
Ballard's appointment as the Commissioner will bring valuable experience to the department as he has worked in Public Works for 8 years. Ballard's expertise will streamline operations that will benefit the City of Wilmington and the region.
"Al has a proven track record of managing operations and I am confident he will be an asset in implementing the needed infrastructure and operational improvements to our Public Works Department," said Mayor Williams.
While working in Public Works, Ballard oversaw the operations of sanitation, streets and sewer, snow removal, street cleaning and building services. He also played a critical role in the implementation of the City's first single stream recycling program, which began in the summer of 2006.
Ballard is currently working on the commercial refuge program, which will be a revenue generating initiative; and the citywide implementation of the City Waste WISE program, which includes distribution of gray refuse carts and streamlines the collection process and saves money.
"I am honored to have been appointed, and look forward to working with the administration and bringing many more, new initiatives to this great City which will benefit our citizens," said Commissioner Ballard.
Ballard's appointment as Commissioner was effective Monday, May 6, 2013.

Potential Open NCAA Boats Still Moving Forward, Will Face Tough Yale Test
Live Video l National Poll l Eisenberg Cup l @TigerWCrew
When the NCAA determined that its open rowing championship would be determined by the cumulative finish of three boats, it raised the importance of program depth by a significant amount.
That depth will be tested this morning when Princeton hosts Yale in the annual Eisenberg Cup regatta. While the Tigers have retained the Cup each of the last four years, the varsity showdown should be a tight battle between two of the league's top programs over the last decade.
While the varsity eight will determine the eventual league champion, the second varsity eight and the varsity four hope to have a big impact if Princeton should return to the NCAA Championships at the end of May.
The second varsity hasn't lost a regular season race since 2012, a stretch that includes a 6-0 start this season, with wins over Top-6 teams in Virginia and Brown.
"My boat has been developing really well through the course of the season so far," junior Emily Burr said. "We are a pretty fast 2V and I feel like between the last couple of races we've really come together and ironed out the kinks a bit more. We've really found a way to groove together I think. Our last race against Cornell and Harvard was arguably our strongest and smoothest."
The varsity four has had a more challenging start, splitting each of its first three weekends.
"Our boat has had a tough few weeks because we've been changing the lineup almost everyday, trying to find the best combination," senior Sally Goodman said. "This can be frustrating sometimes but I think we've gotten a lot better at handing it throughout the season so far. Despite the loss last Saturday, the lineup we raced in showed clear progress over the couple days we were together, so I am excited to continue that development and gain some more speed over the coming weeks, whether or not there are more lineup changes."
While the building process can be a challenge, races like the Eisenberg Cup regatta provide plenty of immediate motivation for boats to continue pushing forward.
"The tougher the competitor, the more psyched we get," Burr said. "It's really important how we do in season against boats like Yale or Brown, not only because they're fast and we'll see them at NCAAs likely, if we qualify, but also because they're fast Ivy schools and we're going to run into them again at Ivy Champs. Also, in all honesty, who at Princeton isn't motivated by our school rivalry with Yale or Harvard?"
There is also the added excitement of starting a full morning of racing on Lake Carnegie. Goodman, who has precious few home races left during her senior season, will be savoring each race on the course she has grown to love.
"We are really lucky to have such a great course and facility so it's awesome to have a bunch of home races this season," she said. "It's really fun when multiple Princeton teams are home and we are able to support one another. If they can, people often try to get to the end of the lake once they're done racing to cheer for the other teams — it's great to have such a big community at the boathouse."

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Oregon scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the fifth-seeded Ducks defeated Austin Peay 6-5 Friday night in the Eugene Regional at PK Park.
The Ducks will move on to play 12th-ranked and the Regional's No. 2 seed Cal State Fullerton on Saturday at 6 pm at PK Park in game four of the Eugene Regional.
Oregon head coach George Horton spent 11 seasons (1997-2007) as the head coach at Cal State Fullerton, leading the Titans to eight Big West Conference championships, six College World Series appearances and the 2004 College World Series title.
Aaron Payne scored the winning run when third baseman Greg Bachman couldn't handle a ball put in play by Kyle Garlick for the Governors' third error of the game.
The Ducks (43-17) tied the game earlier in the inning when Brett Thomas chopped a single back to pitcher Tyler Rogers. The Austin Peay (38-23) closer attempted to tag Oregon's J.J. Altobelli as he raced home from third, but missed.
The win was the Ducks' first this season when trailing after eight innings. They had
been 0-16.
Trailing 4-3 after six innings, the Governors tied the game in the seventh when Jordan Hankins scored from third on a double-play ground out by Reed Harper.
They took the lead in the eighth on Cody Hudson's sacrifice fly to right field scoring Tyler Childress.
Hankins finished 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored. Ryan Hambright had a career-high four hits for the Ducks, who outhit Austin Peay 13-9.
Oregon closer Jimmie Sherfy (5-2) was credited with the win after shutting out Austin Peay on one hit and one and 1/3 innings.
Rogers (4-4) took the loss after allowing two runs on one hit, two walks and one hit batter in the ninth.
In the first game of the Eugene Regional on Friday, Cal State Fullerton defeated Indiana State, 9-5. Indiana State and Austin Peay will play in the first elimination game of the tournament at 2 p.m. Saturday at PK Park.
Notes: Oregon is 6-6 all-time in postseason play dating back to 1954…Oregon's Ryan Hambright's four hits were a new career high, and he is the Duck to total four hits in a game since Kyle Garlick vs. West Virginia (March 10, 2012)…Oregon's attendance of 3,771 was its third best mark all time at PK Park and its second best all season. The record is 3,892 set on April 28, 2012…Oregon is now 1-16 in 2012 when trailing after eight innings…the Ducks are 17-5 in one-run games.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Liz Wilson, currently a Brooks Sports executive, former NCAA track and cross country all-American and four-time Olympic Trials qualifier, has been named the winner of the University of Oregon's 2013 Becky L. Sisley Award.
The Sisley Award, to be presented on Friday at a ceremony in Matthew Knight Arena prior to the women's basketball game against Washington, is awarded to a former UO female athlete 20-to-25 years after her collegiate eligibility, based on career success, volunteerism, and UO support.
Anyone interested in attending Friday's ceremony honoring Wilson should contact Beth Campbell in the Duck Athletic Fund (firstname.lastname@example.com/541-346-4460).
A two-time Pac-10 cross country champion, Wilson has gone on to a successful corporate role in the sporting apparel industry and expansive volunteer work within the Eugene-Springfield community, while maintaining a competitive post-collegiate running career.
Wilson currently is the director of apparel sales for Brooks Sports, Inc., in Bothell, Wash., where she has lived since 2007. Before Brooks, Wilson worked for 16 years at SportHill, a Eugene sports apparel company. Starting in shipping and customer service in 1991, Wilson rose in the company to become national and international sales manager for SportHill.
At Brooks, she won the in-house Launch Award in 2008 as the company's most "impactful" newcomer.
While in Eugene, and running as much as 100 miles per week, Wilson volunteered with Bolder Options for Youth, as well as the Oregon Track Club and Order of the O.
She served on Bolder Options' board of directors 1995-2002, mentored at-risk teenagers, and coordinated the yearly Truffle Shuffle road race.
Wilson was an inspirational member of the OTC board of directors for 14 years and served its executive committee as secretary. She organized a yearly mini-meet for local youth after UO track meets, officiated the ages 4-6 long jump at mid-summer all-comers meets, and volunteered at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials.
While working full-time and traveling extensively, Wilson extended her athletic career on the national stage for 13 years after graduation. She was a finalist in the 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials 3,000 meters and the 10,000 meters in 1996. Later coached by Mike Manley, she finished fifth in the Olympic Trials marathon in 2000 and 13th in 2004. Wilson's lifetime marathon best is 2:37.27 achieved at the 2000 Trials.
She made the U.S. team and competed in the world cross country championships four times (1992, 1995, 1996, 1998).
Wilson also served for eight years as a key member of the board of directors in the Order of the O, a group for UO athlete alumni. She is a lifetime member of both the Order of the O and the UO Alumni Association.
As a runner for the Ducks from 1986-90 under coach Tom Heinonen, Wilson was a six-time all-American and won eight letters combined in track and cross country. She finished seventh in both the 3,000 and 5,000 meters at the 1989 NCAA Championships after placing 11th in the 5,000 the year before. She was also the 1990 Pac-10 champion in the 3,000 meters.
In cross country, Wilson helped Oregon win the 1987 NCAA Championship by finishing 15th overall as a freshman. She also placed 17th in 1988 and 32nd in 1990 at the national cross country meet. She twice won the Pac-10 cross country individual title, first in 1988 and again in 1990. Academically, she was a Pac-10 all-academic selection in 1990.
Wilson graduated from Oregon in 1991 with a degree in business and an emphasis in marketing.
Wilson was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and moved frequently as the family followed her father's Army career. She graduated from AFCENT International High School in Brunssum, The Netherlands. She currently lives in Bothell, Wash.
In the 14-year history of the Sisley Award, Wilson will be the third track and field athlete to win the honor. Kim (Roth) Geelan won in 2007 and Grace Golden was the Sisley recipient last year.

DeShone resigns after 1 season at Jimtown
JIMTOWN — Derrick DeShone has resigned for personal reasons after one season as Jimtown High School boys basketball head coach.
DeShone met with his team Tuesday afternoon, May 8, to inform them of his decision.
"I am resigning for personal reasons, family reasons," DeShone said by phone prior to the meeting.
Other than to confirm that his health is fine, DeShone declined to elaborate on his reasons.
"It was a tough choice," said DeShone, a 2005 Jimtown graduate. "I love the community, I love Jimtown. We have fantastic kids to work with, but it was a choice that needed to be made."
DeShone, who is in his first year as a second grade teacher at Jimtown Elementary, said no decision's been made on whether he will remain in that position, but he declined to be more specific.
"Believe me, I'm disappointed," athletic director Bill Sharpe said of DeShone stepping down as basketball coach, "but it's Derrick's decision and I respect that. He did a great job, has great enthusiasm for the game, and I think our kids got a lot better as the year went along."
DeShone was hired last August a few weeks shy of his 25th birthday, becoming one of the youngest boys basketball head coaches in modern state history.
He replaced his father, Randy, who had resigned after 20 years to become an assistant principal at the school.
The Jimmies, with one starter back from a 9-12 club, went 4-17 in the younger DeShone's lone season in charge.
They started 1-11, but then won three of four, including victories over Elkhart Christian (13-8) and Bremen (8-15), before dropping their final five games. Leading scorer Evan Oblinger was a junior and several others who saw regular time were also underclassmen. It was Jimtown's first season in Class 3A after spending the previous 14 years in 2A.
"We had a group that hadn't played together much, but as we got more acquainted, we got better," DeShone said. "There's a camaraderie that we were working on all year."
DeShone was the junior point guard when the Jimmies captured the only boys state title in Elkhart County history in 2004. He was an All-Area second-teamer that season and a first-teamer the following season before going on to play at Ball State and IUSB, from where he graduated in 2010.
DeShone spent two years as an assistant at Northridge and as a teacher with Middlebury Community Schools before being named head coach at Jimtown.
Asked if he hopes to return to coaching in some capacity anytime soon, DeShone said "I haven't even thought about it."
His resignation leaves three Elkhart County boys basketball head coaching jobs open for the moment.
Matt Windy stepped down at Central in late March, citing a desire to spend more time with his sons, and Jason Ridge resigned last week at Northridge upon accepting a position as assistant principal at Whitko.

He came to UAB in 1981 as a postdoctoral fellow and joined the Department of Physiology and Biophysics in 1984. Dr. Kirk has received several awards for his research including the Karlin Henze Memorial Award for Cystic Fibrosis Research; a Searle Scholar Award and an Established Investigatorship from the American Heart Association.
Our research centers on the epithelial chloride channel (CFTR) that is encoded by the gene that is defective in cystic fibrosis. This chloride channel is implicated in two major human diseases: cystic fibrosis (low CFTR activity in lung) and secretory diarrhea (excessive CFTR activity in gut). We have identified novel CFTR binding proteins that govern the functional activity of this chloride channel in epithelial tissues. In addition, we are investigating how CFTR channel gating is controlled by interactions among the various cytoplasmic domains of this ion channel. Each of these interactions is a potential target for physiologic and pharmacologic manipulation of CFTR channel activity. By defining the functional relevance and structural basis of each of these intermolecular and intramolecular interactions, we hope to develop new strategies for treating diseases such as cystic fibrosis and diarrhea.

Despite Late Rally, Volleyball Falls In Fourth Straight 3-2 Match
FRIDAY LINKS: Sacred Heart Live Video l Sacred Heart Live Stats
For much of Thursday night's EIVA opener at Harvard, the Princeton men's volleyball team looked like a squad that could compete with anybody in the nation. Unfortunately, the Tigers left the match feeling the same disappointment it experienced in its first four matches. Despite rallying from a 2-0 deficit, Princeton fell 3-2 to the reigning EIVA finalist in Boston.
Not only did the loss drop Princeton to 0-5 on the season, but the Tigers have now lost four straight five-set matches. Two came last weekend to teams who were either in the Top 15 (Ball State) or just outside (IPFW); Thursday's loss came to another team just outside the Top 15, as Harvard used an effective fifth set to pull out a 25-20, 25-21, 20-25, 12-25, 15-12 victory.
Princeton hit .395 for the match and had more kills, assists, digs and blocks than the Crimson, but it simply had no answer for Harvard in the decisive fifth set. After dominating the Crimson for a 25-12 win in the fourth, Princeton only scored one point off its own serve in the fifth and never led after an early 1-0 advantage.
Senior Pat Schwagler played like the returning First-Team All-EIVA honoree that he is, recording 22 kills and eight digs, while hitting .514 for the match. Fellow outside Devin Stearns had 14 kills with only two errors (.444), while junior Cody Kessel had his best match of the young season with 14 kills, six blocks and hitting .314.
Junior Will Siroky had 10 kills and hit .500 from the middle, while classmate Tony Ensbury led the defense with 11 digs. Senior Davis Waddell had 31 assists, while freshman Chris Kennedy had 26.
Princeton will look for its first win of the season Friday night at 7 pm when it takes on Sacred Heart. You can find links for both live stats and live video for the match at the top of this release.

American culture may tell us it's all downhill after 18, but our own eyes tell us that while a woman can't be forever young, she can be perceived as forever beautiful. Especially if she lives in France. Or India. Or Ghana. Or a surprising number of other places where one's value doesn't diminish after adolescence. And though there's no denying the worldwide creep of America's fondness for the under-30 set (China, known for its veneration of parents and grandparents, now has the second-highest face-lift rate in the world), not every country buys into that concept. Read on for locales where age brings rewards.
New York City
Sandrine Bernard
Among French women, obvious plastic surgery is frowned on, while wisdom, and aging naturally, earn accolades.
Who she is Bernard is the executive vice president of Solstiss, a lace manufacturer for high-end fashion houses, including Chanel and Gucci. Solstiss created the lace for Kate Middleton's wedding dress.
French beauty defined "On the streets of New York, I can tell if a woman is French," says Bernard, who spends a lot of time at the company's U.S. headquarters. "She has not too much makeup, not too much big hair. Some American women try hard to be what they are not."
Why aging is attractive "French women are more relaxed about getting older because it brings us another layer of knowledge about living," she explains. "In France, experience is attractive."
Why they say no to plastic surgery "French women do not care about youth. They want to look natural. Plastic surgery is not such a big thing in France; you will not see bumpy boobs or lips. It looks fake and therefore unattractive." (Indeed, an American woman is nine times as likely as a French woman to get plastic surgery.)
The French beauty regimen "My grandmother never had plastic surgery, and she was beautiful until she died at age 93," says Bernard. "So I am following her beauty routine." Bernard's plan is simple and quintessentially French: lots of sleep and Champagne—plus Pier Augé Le Soin moisturizing cream (facialcompany.com), applied twice daily.

Problems Regarding The Cabin Environment
1. Air Quality
Half of the air in the cabin of all modern aircrafts comprise of the fresh air entering inside through the engines. The air coming in is taken in after being filtered by the air filters called HEPA. All cabin air is replenished every 2-3 minutes. In other words, the cabin air is completely refreshed 20-30 times per hour. In this respect, the cabin environment has much more clean and refreshed atmosphere than the house or office environment. Organic compounds, microorganisms , the amount of carbon monoxide , carbon dioxide and ozone in the cabin air do not pose a problem in terms of health.
The HEPA filters prevent the bacteria,fungi,certain viruses and other particles from entering in . Despite certain diseases known to be transmitted in aircraft cabins, it is thought that mostly person-to-person transmission, rather than by cabin filter system, occurs when the sick person coughs and sneezes. For this reason, especially the persons with communicable diseases such as tuberculosis must not fly unless the mentioned diseases are under control. Passengers should definitely cover their mouth and nose by handkerchief or by their arm while coughing and sneezing during the flight.
2. Humidity
The humidity in cabin is generally under 20%, and it means that the air is dry. This low level of humidity causes some slight discomfort (due to dryness in skin and eyes), but does not pose any risk in terms of health.
In order to minimize the mentioned discomfort due to dryness in skin and eyes passengers should;
- Drink enough amount of water and juice,
- Limit the amount of alcohol, tea, coke, coffee and other drinks containing caffeine , ( because they increase the loss of fluid in body, and cause more significant dryness in skin )
- Use glasses instead of contact lenses during the flight,
- Use moisturizing creams will be helpful for a trouble-free flight.
3. Airsickness
For passengers who suffer from airsickness it's recommended to,
- Prefer a window seat or a seat over a wing,
- Prefer travelling onboard the large aircrafts,
- Do not to take alcohol 24 hours before and during the flight,
- Keep their seatbelts fastened during flight,
- If the sickness is serious, they need to consult with a physician to know if they will need to take any medicine before the flight or not.
4. Immobilization
In case of prolonged immobilization during flight, blood congestion occurs in the vessels called deep veins, especially in the deep veins of legs, which carry blood to the heart, since healthy blood circulation cannot be maintained. Prolonged blood congestion may result in thrombosis therein. This may be observed in the passengers travelling by train, car, bus and aircraft for a prolonged time and it is called travel thrombosis ( clot formation ). This is related with prolonged immobilization and prolonged sitting, and it does not only pertain to air travel.
Travel Thrombosis may cause leg pain and/or leg swelling, which may continue for days and weeks after the travel, and it is not that much hazardous. These blood clots, which are called Deep vein thromboses, do not pose serious problems for health unless they do not travel in the body. However, some blood clots rarely dislodge and travel to heart and then lungs, and this may cause a dangerous condition called Pulmonary Embolism. This may be dangerous to the extent of threatening life by causing embolism (blockage in artery) in the lungs and prevention of returning clean blood to the heart.
In order to prevent deep vein thrombosis, passengers should pay attention to some issues especially during long distance flights.
It is important for passengers to ,
- Wear loose and comfortable clothes, underwear, socks and shoes; avoid tight clothes which may interrupt blood circulation,
- Never place something underneath the seat in front during flight,
- Drink especially water and juices. Avoid drinking alcohol, tea, coke and other drinks containing caffeine as much as possible,
- Walk around in the cabin at periodic intervals ( such as 60-90 minutes) as much as possible,
- Ones who have cardiovascular disease, cancer or thrombosis, must definitely consult with their physician, in order to not to experience such kind of problem.

Today, D.A. Wallach and Max Drummey of Chester French release their debut album that Pharrell Williams calls, "genius." The duo traces an aesthetic lineage from Beethoven to Brian Wilson, from Les Paul to Prince to, well, Pharrell, who signed them to his Star Trak label. Together, they see walls coming down with a new generation inspired by innovative artists like Gnarls Barkley and OutKast.
Chester French's Love the Future is as delightful as it is ambitious. The glorious "She Loves Everybody" mixes sensibilities equally drawing on Motown and power-pop. "Beneath the Veil" throws country twists into hip-hop aesthetics. There's a curtain-raising "Introduction," and a couple transition pieces ("The String Interlude" and "Country Interlude") to help tie it all together and stress that this is, overall, far more than just a collection of songs, but a whole statement.
Click here to listen to tracks and watch "She Loves Everybody."
Giant Step and Steve Madden present a special in-store performance by Chester French at STEVEN in NYC on 4/29.

More: You are launching your Twiztt cookware line, you co-wrote a new Chicken Soup for the Soul book and are the face of A Place for Mom, an information service for senior living locations. Do you ever slow down?
Joan Lunden: I am so fortunate that after having a great career in TV, I get to do so many fun projects. Although I didn't turn out to be a doctor like my dad, I, too, want to make a difference in people's lives by helping them stay healthy and take care of each other. Every project I get involved with sends that message.
More: You give new meaning to the phrase, "age is a state of mind."
JL: It is not about the first 40 years. It is about figuring out how to write new chapters and reinvent yourself as you age. It's constantly looking for ways to make your life more challenging, intriguing and fun.
More: You got involved with A Place for Mom for a very personal reason?
JL: Yes. This is something I have been dealing with for a long time. When my mom, Gladyce, was 88 years old, I took over complete day-in and day-out care of her. My mother has dementia.
More: How awful for you, given the fact you lost your father and your brother, too.
JL: My brother had type 2 diabetes and had such a big struggle with his disease. I was the one taking care of him and my mom by keeping them in a condo together and making sure people came in to help them with their daily care. When my brother died six years ago from his health battle, my mom became my complete responsibility. It's been a huge part of my life.
More: How is your mom today?
JL: It was so difficult for my mom to deal with my brother's death, and I think she still hasn't dealt with it. She talks about him as if he is still alive. That said, I am happy to say my mom is 93 years old and doing well. Although she has her good days and her bad days, she is now in a facility that I found through A Place for Mom. I moved her four times before I found the right fit, thanks to an adviser who helped me ensure her safety. I also do all of my mom's shopping, and I make sure she has clean clothes.
More: What is A Place for Mom?
JL: It is a Web-based referral service that's filled with useful information for helping as well as educating seniors and their families about finding the best senior living options for their needs.
More: When did you know something was wrong with your mom?
JL: My mom started getting forgetful. Plus, having a crisis in life can also increase one's dementia. In my mom's case, her dementia was increased exponentially when my brother died. She had lived with him for decades, and when he passed, it rocked her world. He was only 57 years old. The death of a child before a parent is a tough one for any parent to deal with. While she was dealing with that trauma, I came along and said, "Hey, you have to move out of your house, too."
More: How did you prepare for that conversation?
JL: That was the hardest conversation I ever had to have. I am a journalist. I have done this story before. How could I not be prepared? You're not prepared for something like this when it is your own. It is so difficult and something none of us wants to face.

General: Tourney nears
Published: Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 1:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 1:32 a.m.
Organizers of the first Barbecue Festival Petanque Tournament are seeking teams for their event scheduled for Oct. 27.
The event is scheduled at 9 a.m. Oct. 27 at Finch Park at 15 Paul Beck Road. The two-person teams cost $15 for each player. Trophies and cash prizes will be awarded. Those interested in playing can register up until 8 a.m. the day of the tournament.
Petanque is similar to the games of horseshoes and bocce. It developed in France in the early 1900s. The goal of Petanque is to toss hollow steel balls as close as possible to a small target ball. Players take turns, and the team that ends up nearest to the target ball, once all balls are played, scores, according to information on the game provided by organizers of the tournament.
Gary and Shirley Jones are the organizers of the event. Anyone interested in registering and playing in the tournament can call Shirley Jones at 247-0436.

I'm looking to buy a road bike for commuting. There is a guy near me who finds older road bikes (e.g. from the 80's) and fixes them up. Are there downsides to getting an older bike (assuming it's had a proper tune up) compared to getting a bike released in the last year?
Sign up

The last major technological improvement in standard bicycles was indexed shifting. The indexing part of this isn't that big a deal, but the feature also gives you the ability to shift under load (which is a big deal). I'm thinking this change occurred in the late 80s, but my memory for chronology is poor.
Yes, since then we've gotten V-brakes, carbon frames, "compact" cranksets and a few other things, but they're not fundamental changes, just minor refinements (if that).
Re "non-standard" bikes, the biggest change has likely been the improvements in geared hubs. These have gone from 3-speed, don't-dare-shift-under-load-or-you'll-wreck-it models to multi-speed or continuous models that encourage you to shift under load.
There has also been progress in recumbent technology, but I don't think there've been any game-changers (though I'm not up on this).
The main problem with a bike more than 15-20 years old is that replacement parts get harder to find. In particular, if you buy an older bike you might want to buy a spare rear cluster right off, to have on hand. And I wouldn't recommend buying a road bike with 27" tires, since replacement tires (of the narrow "racing" variety) will be hard to find.
They are better if you're willing to invest a good deal of money. It depends on your situation. Is your commute asphalt-only or does it include dirt or snow? Will you only use it to get to and from work, or also for groceries and the occasional one-day or multi-day tour? Are you in a flat area, or are there steep slopes around?
I'm using a high-end touring bicycle for my daily commute, 9 km one-way with 120 m elevation difference, in a sub-Arctic climate; here we have 7 months of snowcover, temperatures dropping below -20°C and occasionally down to -40°C, and deep deep darkness. In those circumstances I ride along a 2-lane road frequented by some heavy trucks. Those circumstances, combined with the fact that I go on the occasional multi-day trip, led me to invest in a decent bicycle, because lights, gears, winter performance and durability are key issues. Theft risk in my area is very low.
Some relevant new technologies may include:
Now, whether you really need that is a different question. A 20-year old indestructable steel frame may be exactly what you need. In principle the aforementioned items can be installed on an old frame (except for the belt drive), but IMO that would be silly, because if you're willing to invest a lot of money you can just as well get a proper new frame as well. It all depends on your wishes and priorities.
To answer your question will most likely also be a matter of personal taste. I am also one of the "not much new of interest in the last decades". The notable exceptions are:
Just about everything else you could get as well many decades ago as today, or even better. Some recent technology I would try to avoid includes
The spare parts aspect for classic bikes is not a real problem if you choose the bike wisely. Most ca. 20...25 years old road bikes will be very serviceable with parts you can easily get. Modern bikes are not always better: Just have a look at "modern" bottom brackets and ask yourself what has a life span of more than five years...
This is a bit of a subjective question, and at the end of the day you are best off trying a couple to compare, as you need to feel comfortable on it.
The main difference is in technology - at the top end, dramatic improvements have been made in materials, bonding, flexibility, weight etc., and these do trickle down to consumer bikes. Spares for older bikes may also not be as available.
If you are a normal, every day commuter, a well maintained bike from the 80's may be absolutely fine, but a more modern bike might be a bit lighter, a bit more able to soak up bumps, have better gearing system and this may make the difference if you are using it every day.
Getting an older well-made and well-maintained bike is preferable in a city in the Netherlands. Modern bikes are made lighter and with less material; they tend to be less robust.
I currently have a second hand bike from the 80's with 3 gears, and drum brakes that use levers and iron bars instead of cables. The only thing that I have to replace form time to time are the tubes.
When the time comes, you may find parts harder to come by for the older bike.
The older 80´s road bikes (especially the low end ones that were called "training bikes") often have massive tire clearance. This means that you can run bigger and more comfortable tires, in the +30mm range or run narrower tires with full length fenders.
I don't completely agree with some things that have been said here.
If you like old bikes, if you want it for the looks, go for it. It is a perfectly good reason, lots of people buy and maintain old bikes because they are classier and prettier. There is nothing wrong with it, your passion is perfectly respectable. I personally think something like this is absolutely gorgeous.
Just be careful when picking one, because age and rust attack the frame and components, so you should be careful that the frame is not too rusty if you want to recover it, and inspect the bike for cracks every week or so.
On the other hand, while it is (arguably) true there hasn't been a huge advance in bike mechanics in the last years, it is also true new advancements in materials, manufacturing techniques and mechanical principles make new components much better and durable.
I guarantee you a new, 2015 derailleur will last much longer than a new one made 25 years ago. It will because even though the mechanical principle is the same, a new derailleur has better bearings, better isolated, and the whole construction is more solid meaning there are less tolerances when it is shifting which will end up making it perform better and last longer.
This is true for all other components, but mainly for ones that have movement: hubs, headsets, cranks for example.
The better quality in modern products will also be more noticeable when you are using the bike, as it will feel more solid and flex less under hard pedaling, brakes will work better, wheel will flex much less, etc.
Of course if you compare an old Dura Ace derailleur (some of the best) with a super cheap one sent to you from China for $10 the old one might be better, but if you compare a 25 (from the 90's) year old Dura Ace with a modern Tiagra (some of the cheapest Shimano makes), I guarantee you the new one will perform much, much better. I have used them side by side and 25 years of evolution make a big, big difference.
Just look at them, old and new. See how different are the brakes for example? More material, less flex, better bearings, a mechanical principle revised for decades, all means they will last longer and perform much, much better.
As true for most things, using an older vehicle (car, motorcycle, boat, bicycle) means you will have necessarily less performance and more maintenance costs. I am not saying an older bike will make you go bankrupt, and it will last if you treat her well, but trust me, there will be a difference.
If nevertheless you want to go for the older one, I can't do anything else but pay you a nice, cold beer when I see you with it.
I grew up riding steel lugged Cromoly framed road bikes from the 1980s. I still do. Mid range to high end steel framed bikes are getting much harder to find now since they really stopped building and selling them over 20 years ago. So buy one quick before they start demanding competetive "vintage classic" prices. The bike manufacturers are SERIOUS JERKS for discontinuing steel frames. STEEL BIKES ARE THE BEST .... BAR NONE!!! Weight weenies be damned!!! Your best bet is to get a sport touring bike from the 1980s off craigslist (I have a 1986 Trek 310 Elance I bought for $200 in 2014. Excellent condition with 100% factory original parts. I lucked out on this find). Sport tourers are basically 2/3 racing bike, 1/3 touring bike. They were the best sellers in the late 60s till late 80s but weren't great quality until the 1980s. They have sidepull brakes with performance wheels but with a higher usually #36 2.0g spoke count vs. #32 1.8g spoke count, which makes the wheels much stronger, especially if you're heavy. The best thing about these bikes is they have slightly relaxed frame geometry with a slightly longer wheelbase with a slightly curved fork, but not too much that it decreases performance. You can actually race these bikes quite fast and ride them all day comfortably. They absorb roadshock better than any road bike made today (probably due to forks are all straight now on new bikes with no curves to absorb shock, another idiotic "modern improvement in bicycle design"). The tire clearance is wide so wider tires and fenders are an option. They have rear dropout rack/fender eyelets and front dropout fender fork eyelets and all the braze ons you find on modern bikes. The frames are usually crmo double or triple butted and the tubing is brazed to actual lugs making the frame practically indestructible and most importantly REPAIRABLE. That Sherman Tank durability is worth bearing the burden of the extra 2-3 pounds difference compared to a modern aluminum or carbon frame. The ability to "modernize" the bike with a compact or triple crankset, brifters (brake lever shifters) and 10/11 speed gearing is possible if you know how to build wheels simply by swapping out the rear hub and spreading the rear dropouts from 126mm to 130mm, which is easy and will not damage a steel frame. If you can't build wheels and the wheels on the bike are still good you can still find plenty of inexpensive 6 or 7 speed freewheels on ebay but the gearing options are less than cassettes (the 13-28 7 speed freewheel linked to a compact 34/50 crank is my favorite gearing upgrade compared to the 40/52 crank 14-28 freewheel on a sport tourer or 42/52 crank 13-21 or 13-24 freewheel you find on 1980s racing bikes). I'd buy at least 2 freewheels with the lowest gearing your derailleurs can handle because freewheels probably will be much harder to find soon. New 7 Speed Brifters can still be found on ebay (8 speed ones are more available and will work ok but not perfect with 7 speed freewheels. I'd advise buying triple vs double brifters (left side brake/shifter) because a triple brifter can be used on a double crankset and you wont have to buy a new brifter for a triple crankset). Used 6 or 7 speed index shifting downtube shifters can be found on ebay. If you are over 200 lbs. you may want to consider replacing your rear wheel's quick release and installing a strong solid crmo rear axle (found on ebay) if your hub is freewheeled and not a cassette (freewheeled hubs have the bearings inboard of the freewheel resulting in possible axle breakage). You can pretty much swap out All THE COMPONENTS with modern components EXCEPT the headset which will be 1" treaded vs. 1 1/8" non threaded if you keep the original fork. You may have to find a 22.2mm stem and 25.4mm or 26mm handlebars and longer seatpost if the ones on the bike are not the right fit for you. These can all still be found on ebay. I "modernized" my 1987 Raleigh Technium with 75% new and used parts for about $400, new stem, handlebars, brifters, saddle and completely new modern compact drivetrain gearing pushing the absolute limits of the stock derailleurs. I had an awesome set of old school 36 spoke campy/mavic clincher wheels on hand to complete the upgrade. I think this bike's better than a comparable $700 brand new bike, even if the frame's paint is nicked up a bit. It gives it character and every now and then I get other cyclists checking it out. They know I've been cycling and wrenching for a VERY LONG TIME!!! Its just like restoring a classic musclecar or vintage motorcycle. My best advice is to LEARN TO WRENCH YOUR OWN BIKES. I CAN'T STAND THE "BS AT THE LBS" (Local Bike Shop). It's pretty sraightforward fixing your own bike and the personal satisfaction you feel is liberating. There's lots of Youtube videos on the subject. For about $100 you should be able to buy every bike tool needed for completely tearing down and rebuilding your bike. Actually it will become your hobby being an amateur home bike mechanic. Just make sure you ride your bike more than you wrench it. Screw the new bikes. They aren't built to last. They are built to be replaced every 5 years. A quality Cromoly Frame will last a lifetime. The 2 kilo weight savings is not worth the loss of DURABILITY AND DEPENDABILITY!!! P.S. - If your bike find has 27" wheels vs. 700c wheels buy at least 3 to 5 spare tires. Only 1 brand of 27"x 1" tire is still being sold and 27" x 1 1/8" are really hard to find. 27" x 1 1/4" is easiest but not easy to find but wider than 1 1/4" is a bit harder. Most of these tires can be bought for under $20 to $30. Avoid the gumwalled and get all blackwalled tires, kevlar belted (not beaded) preferably (for puncture resistance). Quality aluminum 27" rims are practically extinct, so be careful and avoid potholes and riding in floods because you'll have to switch to 700c wheels if you destroy these wheels. You may have to fabricate dropbolts for your brakes or replace your brakes too when switching to 700c wheels, but probably not, Also your bottom bracket will be 4mm lower with 700c wheels so if you have 175-180 crankarms be careful while pedaling and cornering. 700cc rims are 622mm diameter vs 630mm diameter for 27" rims. Buying wider tires may raise your bottom bracket back to normal. Again BUY A QUALITY MID TO HIGH RANGE CRMO STEEL FRAMED BIKE, EVEN IF YOU SACRIFICE WEIGH SAVINGS AND MODERN PARTS. You can always upgrade it with modern parts ... and does 3-4 pounds really make much difference anyway if you aren't racing COMPETETIVELY? - Mike - Another P.S. - MAKE SURE to TEST RIDE your bike find. Ride it no handed to see if the fork was bent in an accident. It should ride straight no handed and shouldn't pull to either side if the fork is straight. Really visually inspect the frame to see if it was in any accidents. Any serious dents or cracks forget it, Minor dings are ok especially on the middle of the 3 main tubes due to the thiness of the butted tubes as long as there are no cracks and the frame appears in alignment. Check the forkends and rear dropouts for cracks. They tend to bend if the bike was disassembled and shipped and if bent too much they crack if bent back. Bring a long string with masking tape and tape the end of the string to 1 side of the rear dropout and wrap it tight around the headtube and all the way to the opposite rear dropout and tape it so its taunt. Measure the distance of the stretched string from each side of the seat tube. The distance should be equal both sides or the frame (probably rear triangle) needs to be bent back in alignment. If the difference is 1-2mm it may be worth fixing but only if the bike is steel ... MAYBE if the price of the bike is cheap and you feel you can do it. If its over 2mm you should thoroughly visually check the frame for cracks and serious bendage and damage and don't buy it unless the price is worth the loss. Also consider the safety aspect. If you don't ever ride downhill at screaming speeds you could live with a not perfectly aligned bike if the bike is very low priced. I wouldn't invest any real money into it until you fix and perfect the alignment issue though. Steel bikes are bendable and alignable ... to a point. Also make sure the wheels are true (no excessive side to side or up or down wobble when spinning the wheel). Use the brakepads as a guide. Within 2mm out of true is ok and easily fixable. Squeeze pairs of the spokes together all the way around the wheel and see if they have sufficient tension. Tap each spoke with a screwdriver and listen to the tone, you should hear a "ping" not a "thud" to ensure adequate tension and the tone of each spoke on the front wheel should be very close. The rear wheel is different - the right side spokes will have a higher pitch than the left side spokes. The right side spokes' pitch should be close, the left side spokes' pitch can be off some but not super loose, no "thuds") Check the wheels' spoke ends, especially the rear wheel to see if the spokes are pulling the spoke holes or hub holes so tight as to crack them, especially the freewheeled side. Many wheels, especially rear wheels, the spokes are overtensioned so tight, cracking rim spoke holes but sometines hub spoke holes. Also check to see if the chain fell between the freewheel and spokes on the driveside of the rear wheel. If the spokes are chewed up next to the freewheel all the driveside spokes need replaced so you better know how to build wheels or pay $BIG MONEY$ at the "BS LBS" who may or may not know how to properly build wheels. They may be true but not spoke tensioned properly, especially if using the same used rim. Eyeball the rear derailleur hanger (where the rear derailleur screws into the frame) to see if its bent (the rear derailleur cage pulleys should be at a 90 degree angle to the ground when the bike is perfectly straight upright at 90 degrees to the ground), and if its bent make sure it can be bent back and the derailleur hanger isn't cracked. The frame and rear wheel are the most expensive parts of the bike. If they are good and the bike has other issues, you can get the price down and still get a great bike with parts that need replacing that are probably inexpensive. - Mike

Moving On...
There were no tears of sorrow of any kind at the Lights Out BBQ party at the Miami Art Museum as the institution closed its Cultural Center Plaza location in preparation for its move to state-of-the-art digs at Museum Park (set to open in December). Hundreds of guests congregated on the eve of MAM's last day for bites from Sparky's Roadside Barbecue (thus the name of the party, natch) and music courtesy of HOT 97.7FM DJs, whose chosen tunes played through a 17-foot wall of speakers. Among those saying goodbye and looking forward were collector John Lin, WSVN Channel 7's Belkys Nerey, gallerist Anthony Spinello and MAM curator Tobias Ostrander. To bigger and better things, indeed. Photography by Daniel Azoulay & World Red Eye

Katherine "Kate" Marlowe is a British woman who acts as the leader of an over 400-year old Hermetic Order. A ruthless and manipulative woman, Marlowe is also the leader of a highly-trained and well-armed group of agents who act as the combat section of her order.
Marlowe serves as a central character and the secondary antagonist of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, competing with protagonists Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan towards finding the lost city, the Atlantis of the Sands. In addition, she has also appeared as a playable skin in the multiplayer modes of Drake's Deception and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
In all of her appearances, Marlowe is voiced and mo-capped by Rosalind Ayres.
Marlowe first appears after Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan defeat her men in a bar room brawl in London, but are cornered outside. After an ugly banter between the three, she forcibly takes what she thinks is Sir Francis Drake's ring, though it turns out later to be a fake. As she goes to leave, Drake and Sully try to follow, but are seemingly shot and knocked unconscious by Charlie Cutter, who is left behind as punishment.
In a flashback to 20 years earlier, it is revealed that Marlowe commissioned Sully in Cartegena to steal the ring, along with the cipher disk it unlocks. However, a young Nathan Drake steals both before they get to it. He is cornered by Marlowe and her men, who take back the cipher disk; however, he escapes with the ring with the help of Sully who takes him under his wing.
Back in the present, Drake, Sully, Chloe Frazer, and Cutter, who is actually an old friend of Sully's, and acting as a double agent, follow Marlowe's trail to her underground lair, where they retrieve the cipher disk, learn that she's looking for Iram of the Pillars, a quest previously undertaken by Sir Francis and T.E. Lawrence, and use the disk to search for clues to its location. They find two separate locations: a chateau in France and a citadel in Syria.
In Syria, they learn that Marlowe is head of a secret Hermetic organization dating back to Sir Francis' time which specializes in intimidation. While leaving the citadel, Cutter is confronted by Marlowe and Talbot, Marlowe's right-hand man. Angered by Cutter's treachery, Marlowe sets the platform he's on ablaze, causing him to jump and break his leg. While this scares Cutter and Chloe into leaving the quest, Drake and Sully continue onto the next stop in the quest: Yemen.
- "Beneath that cocky exterior, you're still the same scared, filthy little runaway, aren't you?"
- — Marlowe intimidates Drake.
Soon after arriving, Drake is drugged and captured by Talbot, whilst drugged, Marlowe is able to pry much information from him, including the fact that Sullivan had memorised the constellation she needed to locate the Atlantis of the Sands but not what she truly needs, the current location of Victor Sullivan. Once Drake awakens, Marlowe toys with him, speaking of his mothers suicide, how he subsequently ended up in an orphanage and even that fact that Drake isn't truly his name. She presses him for Sullivan's whereabouts, threatening Elena Fisher in the process and stating that "Victor is only ever in it for Victor". Allowing Drake to think about what she has said, Marlowe is informed by Talbot, that they have located Sullivan. Talbot takes his leave, whilst Marlowe breaks the news to Drake that he has been "Removed from the equation". Temporarily escaping, Drake takes off after Talbot, but is knocked out by Rameses, a pirate captain she has hired. As she now had Sullivan, she instructs Rameses to kill Drake, eliminating the "filthy little stray" that had delayed her for 20 years.
Believing Drake to be dead Marlowe sets off in a convoy across the Rub' al Khali toward Iram, but soon learns that not only was Drake alive, he had also destroyed her supply plane. Leaving some of her men behind at the ghost town, Drake once again escapes, and with the aid of Salim, takes out most of her convoy to save Sullivan. Through all of the destruction however, Marlowe makes it to her destination.
Iram of the PillarsEdit
- "What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, you cannot say, or guess, for you know only a heap of broken images, where the sun beats, and the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, and the dry stone no sound of water. Only there is shadow under this red rock, come in under the shadow of this red rock, and I will show you something different from either your shadow at morning striding behind you or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; I will show you fear in a handful of dust."
- — Marlowe's voice in Nathan's head while he is hallucinating in the desert
Once Drake and Sullivan arrive at the lost city of Iram, Sullivan is seeemingly shot dead by Talbot with Marlowe at his side. However, it's later revealed that this was a hallucination caused by Drake's inadvertent consumption of the true treasure of Iram and Marlowe's goal: a powerful hallucinogenic agent hidden in the city's water supply. As Marlowe is on the verge of retrieving the urn containing the agent, Drake shoots the winch lifting it. The ensuing explosions cause serious structural damage to the city, causing the city to fall apart around them.As she makes her way out with Talbot they run into Drake and Sullivan, but before the inevitable confrontation the floor collapses beneath them, throwing Marlowe, Talbot and Drake into the quicksand below. Drake and Talbot are able to get onto solid ground but Marlowe is unable to free herself. As Talbot pleas for Drake to save her, Marlowe persuades Drake to earn his name by saving her, holding out Sir Francis' ring. Drake throws her his bandoleer but she fails to get a decent grip and sinks to her death, taking the ring with her.
Behind the ScenesEdit
Marlowe is played by Rosalind Ayres. In an interview, lead game designer Richard Lemarchand said, "We are extremely lucky to be working with her. "She has brought a tremendous amount to this character. At Naughty Dog, we feel that a big part of the success of the Uncharted games is due to the effort that we put into our performance capture process where we work with the actors, improvising scenes with them and very often some of the best lines come straight from the actors, the things they invent while we are rehearsing with them and Ros has been fantastic in helping us in developing Marlowe's character."
MultiplayerEditMarlowe appears as a multiplayer skin in Uncharted 3. To get her you must reach level 20 on multiplayer. You can also play as young Katherine Marlowe but to get her you must reach level 65.
- She is the first female major antagonist introduced in the Uncharted series.
- Sully calls her Kate during the cutscene she first appears in.
- She is shown to be a believer in and reader of tarot cards, as before attempting to kill Charlie on top of the tower she says "As if it were in the cards all along", referring to his betrayal of her. He is then found to have a tarot card in his pocket called "The Tower", which represents crisis, downfall, ruin, etc.
- In addition, Cutter's notebook (and via gameplay mechanics Drake's journal) contains pictures of two tarot cards: "The High Priestess", with Marlowe's name written under it, and "The Magician", with Talbot's name written above it. This denotes her leadership role in the secret order.
- Her use of the cards ties in with the hermetic/occultic nature of her organization.
- In addition, Cutter's notebook (and via gameplay mechanics Drake's journal) contains pictures of two tarot cards: "The High Priestess", with Marlowe's name written under it, and "The Magician", with Talbot's name written above it. This denotes her leadership role in the secret order.
- Marlowe shares her last name with famous playwright Christopher Marlowe, who was also a spy for Queen Elizabeth. She may be a descendant of his, however this is speculation.
- Marlowe is far-sighted; she puts on reading glasses when she is reading Nathan Drake's file.
- There was a lot of Internet speculation that the famous British actress Helen Mirren would be playing the role of Marlowe based on their similarities in appearance and voice. However, this was not the case. It is plausible, however, that she was an inspiration for the game's developers, Naughty Dog.
- Contrary to popular belief, it's actually Marlowe that drives their getaway car after she makes her appearance in the game (a Jaguar XJ, which is seen outside the Pelican Inn and parked in the London Underground). Talbot clearly gets out of the passenger's side of the car (the left side), while Marlowe gets out of the right side (remember that in the U.K, the right side is the driver's side of the vehicle). It appears that Talbot gets into the car first and starts the ignition so that Marlowe may drive (so it is she, not Talbot, that nearly runs Cutter over). When the player finds Marlowe's vehicle later on in the Underground, these facts can be confirmed.
- Drake jokes that Marlowe may melt in the rain without her umbrella, like a witch. It's ironic that this is almost her end. The appearance of melting in the quicksand.
- Marlowe was significantly older looking in early versions of cutscenes with more wrinkles on her neck and face than the final game.

The Grants Resource Center is a joint venture between the Sage Research Institute (SRI) and the Office of Corporate, Government, and Foundation Relations (OCGFR) to assist faculty in identifying and applying for grant opportunities. Personnel work closely with faculty in project development as well as application completion and submission to secure external sponsorship for projects. Staff members also support the administration of funded projects to ensure efficient grants management as well as compliance with the institutional, state, federal, and sponsor guidelines and regulations.
The Office of Corporate, Government, and Foundation Relations manages the relationships between The Sage Colleges and organizational sources of funding—public and private. The primary work of the OCGFR is to support capital projects and other institutional priorities.
The Sage Research Institute supports the pursuit of grants at all levels including individual faculty, program project, and institutional where the focus is on research.
OCGFR and SRI personnel act as the conduits for faculty projects that are approved by their respective department and will be vetted through the Grants Planning Committee (GPC). The GPC reviews grant concepts at the earliest stage of development to assist with aligning the project with institutional priorities and identify available resources. Answers to frequently asked questions are available.

Bell's palsy is an unexplained episode of facial muscle weakness or paralysis that begins suddenly and worsens over three to five days. This condition results from damage to the 7th (facial) cranial nerve, and pain and discomfort usually occurs on one side of the face or head.
It can strike anyone at any age, but it occurs most often in pregnant women, and people who have diabetes, influenza, a cold or another upper respiratory ailment. This nerve disorder affects about 40,000 US adults and children each year. Bell's palsy strikes men and woman equally. It is less common before age 15 or after age 60.
Bell's palsy is not considered permanent, but in rare cases it does not disappear. Currently, there is no known cure for Bell's palsy; however, recovery usually begins two weeks to six months from the onset of the symptoms. The majority of people with Bell's palsy recover full facial strength and expression.
A specific cause of Bell's palsy is unknown, however, it has been suggested that the disorder may be inherited. It also may be associated with the following:

Ryan Tannehill says he would love to play with the Dolphins
7 comments
So Tannerhill says he would like to play here. Hmmm, well so would I. What would we expect him to say ? No, you guys suck I would rather play for the Jets. Some of the questions asked of the players are just plain dumb.
I don't care who the future QB will be, but I think we are short sighted if we think Matt Moore will not be the starter at this time. I agree with you in that I would like to see an upgrade at QB position. I am not how ever going to say Matt Moore needs to move to the bench. If someone comes here and plays better than he does then by all means MM should carry the clipboard, but until that happens Matt Moore is our starter and he should get that respect.
I think that if Flynn or Tannehill come here its a competition for the starting role, however if Manning comes you have got to assume he starts. Also Flynn would have the initial upper hand if he is signed because he knows the offense
yea henne can go play with sparano with the jets if he wants. Let sanchez and henne battle it our, it would be like the redskins qb situation last year
if we are able to trade back in the first round or get Tannehill in the 2nd round i wouldnt mind it
