James Jurries hit a
homer in Friday's 7-6 win.
March 20, 1999
CHARLOTTE, NC - Despite leading UNC Charlotte (8-8, 1-0 CUSA) going into the ninth, the Green Wave (16-6, 0-1 CUSA) dropped a 7-6 decision to the 49ers on Friday night. James Jurries and Jason Sparks both hit home runs in the sixth inning. Brandon Belanger (2-1) got his first loss of the year.
Tulane trailed the 49ers 5-0 until a fifth inning offensive explosion. The Green Wave scored four runs beginning with a lead-off solo home run by Jurries. Later in the inning, Sparks hit a three RBI homer to left center bringing the run count to 4-5.
In the seventh after Jurries reached on a double down the right field line, Matt Groff was walked with two outs on the board. Sutter followed with and RBI single allowing Jurries to score tying the game at five apiece. Groff then scored the go ahead run on a wild pitch by UNCC pitcher Brion Treadway.
The 49ers answered in the bottom of the ninth with a Matt Dryer single RBI, which allowed Jason Hill to score the winning run.
For Tulane, Jurries went 4-for-5 with, one RBI two runs scored, a double and his seventh home run of the year. Sparks went 1-for-3 with a game-high three RBI, and one run scored.
RHP Henry Bonilla started for the Wave, pitched six innings, struck out 11 batters, walked two and gave up four earned runs. In 2 1/3 innings of work, Belanger struck out five walked on and gave up one earned run.
Tulane and UNCC play Saturday at noon in Charlotte. The game is
scheduled to be broadcast on 88.3 WRBH, and on the internet.

RIDEBRO Introduces Sustainable Beach Sandals Project
B"Our latest footwear line, the DUDE sandals, promote comfort and durability in a sustainable, wearable product," says Estefania Alamo, RIDEBRO's project director.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley junior pitcher Joe Bircher (Omaha, Neb./Roncalli Catholic H.S.) made quick work of the Southern Illinois (17-28, 7-6 MVC) lineup, allowing only two hits in his first career shutout while leading the Braves (21-22, 3-10 MVC) to a 9-0 victory in the opening game of the weekend Missouri Valley Conference series Friday night at O'Brien Field.
Bircher (6-4) faced only one hitter more than the minimum and did not allow a runner past first base. The 6-foot-4 left-hander struck out seven and did not walk a batter, lowering his earned run average to 2.18. Despite Bradley's 9-run outburst, the game took only 1-hour and 45-minutes to complete.
The Braves got all the offense they needed in the second inning by loading the bases with no outs on a walk and two bunt singles. Derek Sprout's high-hopper to third resulted in a double play, but brought home Brad Kimball with the game's first run. Catcher James Kottaras got the game's first hit to the outfield by lining an RBI single to right center for a 2-0 lead.
Junior third baseman Rob Elliott made a little history to help the Braves push the lead to 3-0 in the third inning. Elliott led off with a single to left, stole second, advanced to third on a Jason Leblebijian sacrifice bunt and scored on a Mike Tauchman sacrifice fly. Elliott's stolen base was his 25th of the season, making him just the third player in school history to swipe at least 25 bases in a season. Chris Allison stole 28 bases in 1994 and newly-appointed federal judge Jim Shadid set the Bradley benchmark with 30 steals in 1977.
Bradley broke the game open by sending 11 men to the plate during a 6-run sixth inning. Brian Martin had a 2-run single to start the scoring, Kottaras had a 2-run double, Bob Schuch had an RBI fielder's choice and Leblebijian finished the binge with a 2-run single.
Southern Illinois shortstop Jake Welch led off the top of the sixth with a single, but Bircher induced a double play ground ball and retired the final 11 Saluki hitters in order. Catcher Brian Bajer had SIU's only other hit in the game, a 2-out single in the third.
The teams will complete their weekend series with noon games both Saturday and Sunday at O'Brien Field. Junior left-hander Tory Doerr (2-2) is expected to start Saturday's game for the Braves.

Fire alarms inside of a West Hills home led to the discovery of more than 100 emaciated and dead animals Wednesday morning.
Firefighters responded to the alarm at approximately 11 a.m., where they discovered the abused animals, including a pony, three goats, one cat, and dozens of dogs. There was no fire, officials said.
Roy Gross, Chief of the Suffolk County SPCA, said the ammonia in the air from the urine-soaked house likely triggered the alarms to go off. Gross said the smell was so strong that firefighters initially couldn't go in, but had to wait for protective gear and breathing apparatuses.
In addition to the dozens of animals found on the sprawling property, which has a three-car garage and a barn, several dead dogs were found in the kitchen sink and a bathtub, officials said.
Michael and Marilyn Gladstein, the owners of the house, returned home Wednesday night. They were arrested by SPCA detectives and charged with animal cruelty, including a felony for the emaciated pony. The couple was taken to the Second Precinct for processing, officials said.
Gross said the animals are now being cared for at the Huntington Animal Shelter. He described them as living in "deplorable conditions" with no food or water.

André Caroff (pseudonym
of André Carpouzis) (1924-March 9, 2009) was one of the leading authors of publisher Fleuve Noir's popular horror, then science fiction
imprints, Angoisse and
Anticipation. For Angoisse, he created the character of
Madame Atomos, a brilliant
but twisted middle-aged female Japanese scientist who is out to revenge herself against the United States for the
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where she was born. Eighteen novels were published between 1964 and 1970, and
were recently collected in a six-volume omnibus edition by Black Coat Press' French imprint, Riviere Blanche.
For Anticipation, Caroff
had created various series including that of Space Security Agent Tom
Rod. While his sight was impaired, Caroff had embarked on a new post-apocalyptic
saga for Rivière Blanche in 2006, with two volumes already released and two more to be published posthumously.
In total, Caroff's oeuvre included 30 horror novels and 34 science fiction novels.
novels: 1 The Terror of Madame Atomos (2010), 2

ORONO, Maine -- University of Maine women's basketball head coach Richard Barron has announced that he has appointed Sean Smith as new assistant women's basketball coach.
"We are thrilled to have Sean join our staff," commented Coach Barron. "I have known Sean for over 10 years and he is a terrific skills instructor and has a great understanding of the game. He has already made an impact with his great enthusiasm and strong contacts throughout the women's basketball community."
Prior to joining the Black Bears, Smith was the lead skills trainer with Peach State Basketball since 2009. While with Peach State Basketball, Smith coordinated all individual skill developments during EBA camps and showcases. Smith, formerly from Mt. Holly, N.J., served as an individual trainer to over 100 athletes nationwide through Peach State Basketball and later expanded his roll by starting his own skill development company "ATG Hoops" in the New Jersey area where he trained players up and down the eastern seaboard. Smith's company hosted four showcase events annually including the ATG showcase which garnered talents from seven states.
Smith served as a counselor for numerous basketball camps and clinics including Gannon Baker's Nike Elite camp at Georgia Southern University as well as the Princeton University camp for coach Richard Barron and John Thompson III.
Smith was an assistant under Clint Bryant at Augusta State University. While at Augusta State, he assisted the recruiting coordinator in all aspects of recruitment and served as assistant camp director for the Clint Bryant basketball camp.
One of Smith's early coaching jobs was head junior varisty boys and assistant Varsity boys coach at Rancocas Valley Regional high school. Smith built a JV program that compiled a record of 35-5 over two seasons; including a 19-0 run in 2012-13. At Rancocas Valley Regional, Smith helped guide the varisty program to a 24-2 regular season mark and the school's first conference title in five years.
Smith graduated from Rutgers University in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in psychology

There were plenty of highlights for both the New Orleans Saints offense and defense during Saturday's Black and Gold Scrimmage, which was closed to the public. The Saints haven't released official statistics, but check back soon for our unofficial tallies.
Quarterback Mark Brunell looked great while leading the first-string offense in place of Drew Brees, who was excused following the death of his mother. Brunell completed 8-of-9 passes on two drives against the second-string defense to start the scrimmage - six of them to Marques Colston, including a 1-yard touchdown pass on third-and-Goal.
Quarterback Joey Harrington also led the first-string offense on a touchdown drive against the first-string defense later in practice. The drive was highlighted by a 26-yard completion to tight end Jeremy Shockey on third-and-10 and a 4-yard touchdown pass to Devery Henderson on first-and-Goal.
Harrington led another touchdown drive with the third-string offense, but he was helped by a controversial pass interference call against safety Usama Young at the goal line on third-and-long. Tailback P.J. Hill ran in a 1-yard touchdown two plays later.
Brunell and Harrington each threw interceptions, though. Cornerback Jason David snagged one from Brunell on a tipped ball, and safety Roman Harper took one away from Harrington.
Linebacker Mark Simoneau forced a fumble by tailback Mike Bell and recovered it early in practice. Later, defensive end Jeff Charleston chased down a fumble after a bad snap by rookie center Digger Bujnoch.
There were four sacks credited by the visiting NFL officials who worked practice - one by defensive end Charles Grant, one by defensive end Anthony Hargrove, by safety Chris Reis and one by safety Roman Harper. Defensive end Jermey Parnell looked like he got one, as well, but the officials didn't give him credit.
"I'm anxious to look at the tape," said Saints Coach Sean Payton, who said it was a "two-fold deal" when asked what he thought of the four turnovers forced by the defense. "When we put it on the ground, you're disappointed offensively, but you took it away defensively and that's a positive. The fumble by Mike Bell was discouraging because it looked like he just didn't have it put away cleanly. But I thought we made some plays on the ball defensively, which was encouraging."

ELYRIA — Police arrested an Elyria man after receiving a report from Northwood Middle School that he allegedly beat his 12-year-old child.
On Monday, James P. Smith, 34, was arrested and charged with domestic violence and endangering children.
Officers were sent to Northwood earlier in the day and met with Smith's 12-year-old child, who had a swollen and bruised face, according to a police report.
Smith's child told police Smith had beaten him at his Furnace Street home that he shares with his stepmother and siblings. The boy told police he asked his stepbrother to move out of the way of the television he was watching, and his father called him upstairs and yelled at him for "bullying" his brother.
Smith was arraigned Tuesday at Elyria Municipal Court, where he entered no plea. He was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled at 2 p.m. Feb. 21.— from staff reports

Newt Gingrich Will Rely on Allegedly Extant Grassroots Passion
He's not giving up for some reason.
Maybe with another day of reflection, Newt Gingrich has decided that it's just not worth wasting a beautiful summer on a doomed presidential campaign? Nope! In an e-mail to his supporters today, he reiterates his intention to "endure" the "the rigors of campaigning for public office." But, he can't do it alone. "This is your campaign," he says.

Office building damaged, no injuries in Oleander fire
Published: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 6:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 9:09 p.m.
No injuries were reported Friday evening in a fire that damaged an office building at 6329 Oleander Drive, Battalion Chief Sammy Flowers of the Wilmington Fire Department said.
Photo Galleries
Flowers said the fire was under control by 6:52 p.m., but crews were expected to remain on the scene for quite a while Friday night.
The fire was reported at 4:57 p.m., he said. The building where the fire happened houses the offices of Velocity Tech Group, The Assurance Group and endodontist W. Christopher Ward, listed on New Hanover County property records as the owner.
"An off-duty Wilmington fire captain was driving home from work and saw smoke coming through the ridge vent of the roof," Flowers said.
W.T. Garner, a captain in the fire department's training division, said he saw smoke coming from the treeline behind Salt Works restaurant.
"At first I thought it was someone burning trash, but then I came around the bend," Garner said.
Garner immediately called 911 and went into the building to make sure all the occupants escaped unharmed. He said three people had been inside the building when the blaze started.
When Garner made his initial pass through the building, he added, flames were confined to the attic.
Andy Hopper, co-owner of Velocity Tech Group, was one of the people inside.
"The power started flickering, then the fire alarms went off and then our office filled up with smoke pretty quickly," Hopper said, adding that it was three or four minutes from the time the power flickered to when workers inside the building knew they had to leave.
The blaze seemed to start in the back of the building, Hopper said.
Flames were showing from the building when the first fire engine arrived, Flowers said. After initially making a defensive attack on the fire, intense flames and heat drove the firefighters back.
Another reason for the defensive strategy was that flames were above the firefighters' heads, Flowers said, and the battalion chief on the scene didn't want to risk collapse. After the firefighters left the building, they doused the flames from above with a ladder truck hovering over the three-story building.
Hopper, who grabbed his laptop before leaving the building, said, "Once I saw the firefighters run out, that's when I knew it was a big deal."
Oleander Drive was closed to traffic from the Bradley Creek Bridge to Greenville Loop Road while crews battled the blaze, in large part because one of the main fire hoses was crossing the heavily traveled street.
It could be Saturday before the fire's cause is officially determined, Flowers said.

We are interested in inhibiting the early stages of biofilm development on enamel. Using hydroxyapatite beads in solution, we measure the binding of Streptoccocus mutans in the presence of various natural products, such as green tea or cranberry extract, as well as commercial products. Our primary focus is on electrostatic contributions to the adherence step. Electrophoretic mobilities are measured by phase analysis light scattering, and the results used to calculate zeta potentials for the beads, the bacteria and the bead-bacteria complexes.

LinuxBIOS has quite some success with CS5530 based systems. Please have a look at their mailing list archive at http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/ Once you have LinuxBIOS working, you can also try to add OpenBIOS on top of it. We can assist you, if you want to try. Note: it's quite some work to get video output working on the cs553x since it uses hardware virtualization (vma) for that.. It's doable though.. Stefan

A beloved Nintendo-era baseball video game is celebrating a quarter century at the plate.
SNK's Baseball Stars first appeared in Japan on May 19, 1989, where it was known as Baseball Star Mezase Sankan on the Nintendo Famicom. It was released for the Famicom's American counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System, in July of the same year.
While the NES had plenty of baseball titles, Baseball Stars instantly stood out. In addition to a catchy theme and unique art style that visually stood out in a crowded genre, Baseball Stars was the first to add role playing game elements and a battery back-up and allow gamers to create custom players and teams and save in-game statistics. It also introduced console gamers to concepts such as gate money, player upgrades and team prestige and broke new ground in the inclusion of women players and teams.
After the success of the original Baseball Stars, SNK created several sequels, including Baseball Stars Professional, a graphically enhanced version that was among the original releases for the cult favorite Neo Geo console.
It also left a lasting legacy on modern sports games. David Littman, director of the NHL franchise for EA Sports, told Yahoo! in 2011 that the GM mode in NHL '12 was directly inspired by features introduced in Baseball Stars some 22 years earlier.
"I actually designed one of the original GM modes, designing the NHL fantasy mode back in 2004, the first one that was in there. Baseball Stars was one of the inspirations," Littman said to Yahoo! "What I always wanted was a sports RPG, and Baseball Stars was the first real sports RPG."
The lasting impression of Baseball Stars has also spilled over into the world of mainstream sports. NBC Sports reporter Drew Silva recalled memories of the game in a column he wrote on Christmas 2010.
While titles such as Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda might be the most fondly remembered games of the original Nintendo generation, the legacy of Baseball Stars continues to resonate just as loudly a quarter century later.

Excuse No. 3: "I'm too old."
This is a favorite excuse for people who've given up on themselves and their ability to adapt to the work world of 2012.
(MORE: When the Job Interviewer Thinks You're Too Old)
The truth is, if you're able-bodied and mentally competent, you're not too old to get hired. But you may need to get up to speed on the best ways to look for work today, improve your social media skills to cast a wider net for your job search or even consider reinventing yourself in a new career. So take the time to invest in yourself.
My "no excuses" advice: A great place to start adapting to today's job market is your alma mater's career services department. As Next Avenue has noted, many colleges now offer alumni free or low-cost career counseling, job-search webinars and in-person workshops on such topics as personal branding to make yourself a stronger candidate.
For those who claim that some hiring managers are guilty of age discrimination when selecting candidates, well, you're right.
There are cases where the interviewer will think you're too old. Prove them wrong! Make your pitch for the open position so compelling that age won't enter the picture.
Or boost your expertise to become a consultant, so you can avoid hiring managers altogether. My 60-something colleague, Walter Akana, started sharpening his social media skills a few years ago and now teaches social media to M.B.A. students and midcareer professionals. No one questions his age because his knowledge and expertise are all that matter.
It's also not too late to launch an encore career. Start by volunteering at a nonprofit to get a lay of the land and make valuable connections. When an appropriate salaried position opens up, you'll be a known quantity. Check out encore.org and the encore.org articles on Next Avenue to learn more about creating an encore career.

The Chosen One is going home.
After weeks of indecision that brought NBA free agency to a grinding halt, LeBron James has made his decision. And it comes as somewhat of a surprise.
In an essay written for SI.com, James announced Friday that he plans to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers, returning to the team that originally drafted him after a four-year stint with the Miami Heat. The signing will likely occur officially once the Cavaliers clear out some contracts that will enable them to pay James the maximum amount.
In the essay, James spoke of his commitment and feeling of loyalty to the Ohio region where he grew up.
"My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball," James wrote. "I didn't realize that four years ago. I do now."
James further explained his decision making process in 2010 that led him to Miami and what was so appealing about the situation in Cleveland.
"When I left Cleveland, I was on a mission. I was seeking championships, and we won two," James wrote. "Our city hasn't had that feeling in a long, long, long time. My goal is still to win as many titles as possible, no question. But what's most important for me is bringing one trophy back to Northeast Ohio."
In Cleveland, James joins a young roster that includes standout point guard Kyrie Irving, who recently agreed to an extension with the Cavs. Anderson Varejao, a teammate of James during LeBron's first go-round with the club, remains on the team, and young players Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters and 2013 No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett help round out the roster.
Of course, 2014 No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins is also the property of Cleveland. However, speculation has already begun that Wiggins could be the centerpiece of a trade that would bring disgruntled T-Wolves star Kevin Love to the Cavs. A trio of Irving, James and Love would make the Cavaliers instant contenders in the Eastern Conference. In the meantime, the Cavs will likely look for some solid veteran pieces to bolster their roster, and the team had previously been linked to James' Miami teammate Ray Allen.
With James' situation now settled, the rest of NBA free agency figures to take off. Chris Bosh, who had been waiting to see where LeBron would play, could be on the verge of signing with the Houston Rockets. Dwyane Wade has yet to make his intentions known, but Miami figures to make his re-signing an even higher priority with James and Bosh now likely on the way out.
LeBron spent his first seven seasons with the Cavaliers. To relive his early years in Cleveland, view the slideshow.

Early Morning Storm Causes Widespread Damage
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on November 01, 2013 @ 8:57PM
Created on November 01, 2013 @ 7:03PM
A storm with heavy rain and strong winds caused widespread damage all throughout North Central West Virginia around 3 a.m. on Friday morning.
Wind gusts up to 60 MPH knocked over trees, power lines, and left thousands of people without electricity.
Mecca 911 Director Mike Wolfe said, "It was a very widespread but fast moving storm. It basically caused some minor damage with trees and electrical lines."
Crews worked all day long to clean up the mess left behind. They fixed lines, unblocked roadways, and restored power for some people.
Some residents said they couldn't believe what happened.
"I walked outside and the gate to my courtyard was completely busted open. I asked myself did somebody try to break into my house last night? Then I looked around and there were trees and leaves down everywhere," said Marion County resident Elizabeth Opyoke.
Hancock County resident James Tennant said, "It sounded like a freight train was going by my house. It was really loud and the wind was blowing really hard."
At the height of the storm more than 20,000 people lost power. Some schools like Anna Jarvis Elementary in Grafton had to close. Parents said they weren't surprised.
"I woke up around 4 o'clock this morning and it was treacherous out where we live. We still don't have electricity," said Taylor County resident Kimberly Rosier.
No injuries or serious damage was reported. Many people have already gotten their power back, but some might have to wait until Sunday. Emergency officials said the quick hitting storm is a lesson for people and everyone should always be prepared.
"This was a good reminder to people that this can happen at any time," said Wolfe.
People without power should stock up on water and non perishable food items. They should also be careful when using an alternative source for heat.

The varsity boys' won 111 to 59, while the JV boys' swept Aragon 117 to 69. The varsity girls' earned 129 points, beating Aragon with only 39, and the JV girls' defeated Aragon by over 100 points, 146 to 40.
Junior Gordon Williams had the swim of the day by qualifying for CSS in the 50 yard freestyle. Williams placed first in the event with an astonishing 22.95. Williams reflected on the season after the meet, saying "The M-A varsity boys came off with a rocky start [this season], but now coming to the end of the season, I can feel the excitement for league finals and the improvement has been phenomenal." The Bears hope to continue this momentum throughout the rest of the season.
The team proved their dominance in the PAL league with only one league loss for the varsity boys for a league record of 4-1. The JV boys' and girls' along with the varsity girls remain undefeated in the PAL league (5-0) with only one dual meet remaining. This Thursday, May 2nd, the Bears will travel to Burlingame compete against their biggest competition.

"We lost some tough games that year but we never lost our confidence," said A.J. Bramlett, who, as a 6-foot-11 sophomore was instrumental in Arizona's drive to the 1997 NCAA basketball championship.
Always intelligent, unselfish and the quintessential team-player, Bramlett, now 30, continues with his basketball career. He led his Riga team to the Latvian Basketball League championship last season and was named Center of the Year.
Latvia is located in northern Europe and shares land borders with Estonia to the north and Lithuania to the south, as well as both Russia and Belarus to the east. It is separated from Sweden in the west by the Baltic Sea.
Bramlett and his wife Kirsty live in Albuquerque. They have a son, Daylen, who will be two years old on Oct. 20. A.J. and Kirsty dated while attending La Cueva High School in Albuquerque. She went to the University of Southern California.
"I'll be there and I'm looking forward to it," Bramlett said of the Lute Olson All-Star Classic dinner honoring the 1997 national champions. The dinner will be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa, 3800 East Sunrise Drive.
Tickets are available at $175 per person or $2,000 for a table for ten. For information, call 621-7491.
Looking back to that '97 team, which finished fifth in the Pacific-10 Conference and was a mere No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament, Bramlett said, "The good thing about us was (that) we were battle-tested. We didn't have an easy game all year and we didn't have an easy game in the tournament.
"But the key was we had no fear. We went up against Kansas, the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, believing we could win when, I'm sure, very few people across the country agreed."
At the NCAA Regional in Birmingham, the Wildcats took down the proud Jayhawks, 85-82. It was one of the bitterest defeats in Kansas's long and distinguished basketball history. The Jayhawks bowed out with a 35-4 record. Arizona, after it's national championship win over Kentucky, finished the year with a 25-9 mark.
Bramlett said that other than the overtime thriller against Kentucky for the national title, there were three "toughest" games for Arizona. Ironically, none was against a No.1 seed. The Wildcats defeated three No. 1 seeds in the tournament, a feat never accomplished before or sense.
"I think our first two games, South Alabama and College of Charleston, plus the Providence game were our toughest," Bramlett said.
"Against Kentucky, I just remember we were not going to lose -- we really believed that -- and we kept at it. Even when they tied it up and took us to overtime, we could have gotten 'down' psychologically, but we didn't."
A. J. will return to the same team in Latvia for the upcoming season. It will be his second year with the Riga team. He has also competed for the Cajason, Plus Pujol and Grupo Capital teams from Spain.

Health Minister Florence Guillaume Duperval has announced that confirmed cases of chikungunya have been found in Haiti, ABC reports in a May 7 story. A total of 14 cases are known. The spread of this mosquito borne illness to Haiti had been expected since the disease was found in the Dominican Republic in early April. The two nations share the island of Hispaniola in the central Caribbean.
Chikungunya has spread through the islands of the eastern Caribbean since it was first detected on French St. Martin in Dec. 2013. The discovery of the illness in the Dominican Republic and in Haiti represents an increased threat to Puerto Rico, and to the U.S. mainland. Haiti, however, is where the chikungunya outbreak may become the most serious.
In Jan. 2010, a massive earthquake in Haiti destroyed much of the nation. The country has struggled to restore basic services including health care. Existing infectious diseases were joined by cholera in the Fall of 2010. The appearance of chikungunya only adds to the burdens on a resource-poor medical system.
Haiti has the highest incidence of tuberculosis in the Western Hemisphere. The earthquake destroyed most of the facilities for treating the illness and forced patients into crowded refugee camps. The Centers for Disease Control are especially concerned with the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains of tuberculosis.
HIV infections, leading to AIDS, remain a significant concern in Haiti. With weakened immune systems, HIV patients are vulnerable to co-morbid infections such as tuberculosis. The U.S. State Department reports that some 52,000 patients received free HIV treatment with antiretrovirals in 2013. Most importantly, the number of pregnant women with HIV being treated to prevent transmission of the virus to their children continued to increase.
Cholera continues to be a major infectious disease problem in Haiti. The Pan American Health Organization reports that from Oct. 2010 through March 10, 2014, there have been 700,541 cholera cases and 8,546 cholera deaths. From Jan. 1 to March 10, 2014, Haiti has seen 3,850 cases and 18 deaths.
Other illnesses are also taking a toll in the impoverished nation. Dengue fever, malaria, leishmaniasis and rabies are everyday risks that the people of Haiti are exposed to. The arrival of chikungunya, while not a deadly illness, will only add to the daily problems of Haiti's population.

The European Society of Cardiology notes that it's official: Chocolate is linked to heart health, says a recent study, "Chocolate consumption and cardiometabolic disorders: systematic review and meta-analysis." High levels of chocolate consumption might be associated with a one third reduction in the risk of developing heart disease, finds a study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) on August 29, 2011.
What should be explored by manufacturers of chocolate foods is the possibility of reducing the current fat and sugar content in most chocolate products. Then again, there's always the option to use unsweetened raw, organic cocoa powder to make your chocolate foods. Also you may wish to see another study's results, "New evidence that dark chocolate helps ease emotional stress."
The findings confirm results of existing studies that generally agree on a potential beneficial link between chocolate consumption and heart health. However, the authors stress that further studies are now needed to test whether chocolate actually causes this reduction or if it can be explained by some other unmeasured (confounding) factor, according to the August 29, 2011 news release, "It's official -- chocolate linked to heart health." Or see the February 7, 2011 news release, "New explanation for heart-healthy benefits of chocolate."
The findings regarding the August 29, 2011 study were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Paris on Monday August 29, 2011. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2030, nearly 23.6 million people will die from heart disease. However, lifestyle and diet are key factors in preventing heart disease, says the paper. You also can check out another paper, "Study finds that people are programmed to love chocolate."
A number of recent studies have shown that eating chocolate has a positive influence on human health due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This includes reducing blood pressure and improving insulin sensitivity (a stage in the development of diabetes)
The evidence about how eating chocolate affects your heart still remains unclear. So, Dr Oscar Franco and colleagues from the University of Cambridge carried out a large scale review of the existing evidence to evaluate the effects of eating chocolate on cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke. Researchers analyzed the results of seven studies, involving over 100,000 participants with and without existing heart disease.
For each study, they compared the group with the highest chocolate consumption against the group with the lowest consumption. Differences in study design and quality were also taken into account to minimize bias. You also may wish to check out another article, "Natural ACE inhibitors in chocolate, wine and tea may help lower blood pressure."
Five studies reported a beneficial link between higher levels of chocolate consumption and the risk of cardiovascular events. Researchers found that the "highest levels of chocolate consumption were associated with a 37% reduction in cardiovascular disease and a 29% reduction in stroke compared with lowest levels." No significant reduction was found in relation to heart failure.
The studies did not differentiate between dark or milk chocolate and included consumption of chocolate bars, drinks, biscuits and desserts
The authors say the findings need to be interpreted with caution, in particular because commercially available chocolate is very calorific (around 500 calories for every 100 grams) and eating too much of it could in itself lead to weight gain, risk of diabetes and heart disease, according to the August 29, 2011 news release, "It's official -- chocolate linked to heart health." However, the researchers conclude that, given the health benefits of eating chocolate, initiatives to reduce the current fat and sugar content in most chocolate products should be explored.
The precise reason for the health benefits of dark chocolate: Mystery solved in a new study, "Impact of the microbiome on cocoa polyphenolic compounds."
Good microbes in your belly eat the chocolate. The health benefits of eating dark chocolate have been extolled for centuries, but the exact reason has remained a mystery –– until now.
Researchers reported here on March 18, 2014 that certain bacteria in the stomach gobble the chocolate and ferment it into anti-inflammatory compounds that are good for the heart. If you can't find what you want in the stores, you can make your own chocolate delights using the healthiest ingredients you can find such as berries or even chocolate-dipped fruits such as blood oranges or strawberries. Some people dip carrot sticks into powdered or liquid chocolate. Just avoid the sugar that so many manufacturers add to the chocolate. You can sweeten chocolate with fruit or even a pinch of stevia, if necessary for taste, or get used to chocolate the way the Aztecs ate it with added chili powder. Some people add cinnamon and cloves or ginger to chocolate instead of sugar.
People could experience even more health benefits when dark chocolate is combined with solid fruits like pomegranates and acai
You also may be interested also in checking out the PDF file, "New Spring 2014 Cornucopia." The researchers' findings were unveiled on March 18, 2018 at the 247th National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society. The meeting, attended by thousands of scientists, features more than 10,000 reports on new advances in science and other topics. It is being held at the Dallas Convention Center and area hotels through Thursday, March 20, 2014.
"We found that there are two kinds of microbes in the gut: the 'good' ones and the 'bad' ones," explained Maria Moore, according to the March 18, 2014 news release, "The precise reason for the health benefits of dark chocolate: Mystery solved." Moore is an undergraduate student and one of the study's researchers.
Compounds produced are anti-inflammatory
"The good microbes, such as Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria, feast on chocolate," she said, according to the news release. "When you eat dark chocolate, they grow and ferment it, producing compounds that are anti-inflammatory." The other bacteria in the gut are associated with inflammation and can cause gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. These include some Clostridia and some E. coli.
"When these compounds are absorbed by the body, they lessen the inflammation of cardiovascular tissue, reducing the long-term risk of stroke," said John Finley, Ph.D., according to the news release. Finley led the work. He said that this study is the first to look at the effects of dark chocolate on the various types of bacteria in the stomach. The researchers are with Louisiana State University.
The team tested three cocoa powders using a model digestive tract, comprised of a series of modified test tubes, to simulate normal digestion. They then subjected the non-digestible materials to anaerobic fermentation using human fecal bacteria, according to Finley.
John Finley, Ph.D. explained that cocoa powder, an ingredient in chocolate, contains several polyphenolic, or antioxidant, compounds such as catechin and epicatechin, and a small amount of dietary fiber
Both components are poorly digested and absorbed, but when they reach the colon, the desirable microbes take over. "In our study we found that the fiber is fermented and the large polyphenolic polymers are metabolized to smaller molecules, which are more easily absorbed. These smaller polymers exhibit anti-inflammatory activity," he said, according to the news release.
Finley also noted that combining the fiber in cocoa with prebiotics is likely to improve a person's overall health and help convert polyphenolics in the stomach into anti-inflammatory compounds. "When you ingest prebiotics, the beneficial gut microbial population increases and outcompetes any undesirable microbes in the gut, like those that cause stomach problems," he added.
Combining chocolate with fruits
Prebiotics are carbohydrates found in foods like raw garlic and cooked whole wheat flour that humans can't digest but that good bacteria like to eat. This food for your gut's helpful inhabitants also comes in dietary supplements.
Finley said that people could experience even more health benefits when dark chocolate is combined with solid fruits like pomegranates and acai. Looking to the future, he said that the next step would be for industry to do just that.
You might try a smoothie of a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder and a hand full of fruits such as acai or pomegranates or your favorite fruits or berries: What's the impact of the microbiome on cocoa polyphenolic compounds?
Flavanols such as catechin, epicatechin and polymers are abundant in cocoa products, however their fate in the lower gastrointestinal tract is not clear, according to the abstract of the research. Scientists investigated the impact of the human gut microbiome on three different types of cocoa powders: lavado, Geekins Sienna, and Paragon.
The cocoa powders differed in sources and processing methods. The materials were predigested in a gastrointestinal model and the non-digestible residues were anaerobically fermented in a human gastrointestinal model.
Short chain fatty acids
Short chain fatty acids, changes in pH and phenolic profiles were determined at 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours. Fatty acid production was compared to hi-Maize Resistant Starch (positive control). The pH dropped slightly between 6 and 12 hours and acetic acid, butyric acid, and propionic acid were found, notes the study's abstract. The phenolic profiles suggested breakdown of larger molecules to simpler phenolic acids. Colonic fermentation may be responsible for some of the benefits of coca products.
This study was supported by the Louisiana State College of Agriculture and a Louisiana AgCenter Undergraduate Research Grant. The American Chemical Society is a nonprofit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. With more than 161,000 members,
ACS is the world's largest scientific society and a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences. Its main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.
Researchers reported here that certain bacteria in the stomach gobble the chocolate and ferment it into anti-inflammatory compounds that are good for the heart
Scientists presented their study at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society. A press conference on this topic was held Tuesday, March 18, at 1:30 p.m. Central time in Room A122/A123 of the Dallas Convention Center. If you're with the media, you can access a live video of the event and ask questions at the ACS Ustream channel.
You probably see in local supermarkets packages of dark chocolates with pomegranate or acai berries in the center. You can make such combinations yourself at home. Simply mix unsweetened cocoa powder or other dark chocolate with your favorite fruit such as berries and eat them together or emulsify the fruit and chocolate in a blender as a smoothie or as a sauce poured over desserts, cereals, or other foods.
There's also another recent explanation for the heart-healthy benefits of chocolate
Scientists are reporting discovery of how this treat boosts the body's production of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) — the "good" form of cholesterol that protects against heart disease. Just as those boxes of chocolates get hearts throbbing and mouths watering, polyphenols in chocolate rev up the activity of certain proteins, including proteins that attach to the genetic material DNA in ways that boost HDL levels. Their report appears in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, one of 39 peer-reviewed scientific journals published by the American Chemical Society, according to the February 7, 2011 news release, "New explanation for heart-healthy benefits of chocolate." Additionally, you can download the full text article, "Cacao Polyphenols Influence the Regulation of Apolipoprotein in HepG2 and Caco2 Cells," published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Midori Natsume, Ph.D., and colleagues note that studies have shown that cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate, appears to reduce the risk of heart disease by boosting levels of HDL, or "good" cholesterol, and decreasing levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol. Credit for those heart-healthy effects goes to a cadre of antioxidant compounds in cocoa called polyphenols, which are particularly abundant in dark chocolate. Until now, however, nobody knew exactly how the polyphenols in cocoa orchestrated those beneficial effects.
The scientists analyzed the effects of cocoa polyphenols on cholesterol using cultures of human liver and intestinal cells
They focused on the production of apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), a protein that is the major component of "good" cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B (ApoB), the main component of "bad" cholesterol. It turns out that cocoa polyphenols increased ApoA1 levels and decreased ApoB levels in both the liver and intestine. Further, the scientists discovered that the polyphenols seem to work by enhancing the activity of so-called sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). SREBPs attach to the genetic material DNA and activate genes that boost ApoA1 levels, increasing "good" cholesterol. The scientists also found that polyphenols appear to increase the activity of LDL receptors, proteins that help lower "bad" cholesterol levels.

Domenica Ruta was raised by an unpredictable, incredibly wild, drug abusing single mother. Kathi is constantly bouncing from job to job and frequently relies on selling drugs as a way to support them. Kathi knows she screwed up and is always trying (to the best of her ability) to provide better opportunites for her daughter.
Domenica's honest writing style describes what it is like to grow up in an environment where you are both terrified of your mother and relishing for her attention. As a young girl, Domenica was well grounded even though her home life lacked basic structure.
Eventually, in high school and college, she fell into a casual relationship with drugs and alcohol. Kathi welcomed Domenica into the drug lifestyle as a nontraditional form of mother-daughter bonding. Domenica told herself she would never get as bad as her mother, she would never lose control and let the substances dominate her life.
Domenica describes as her life begins slipping away from her. She bares all her struggles. Domenica is able to capture Kathi's giant personality and most memories she shares from her childhoood seem shocking yet it all fits right in with Kathi's behavior. Domenica is now able to look back and reflect on her life in true memoir style. It can range from funny, to shocking, to depressing, to exciting, but above all, it remains heartwarming and full of hope. By sharing her story, Domenica reminds us all that everybody has obstacles to overcome in life but it is possible to come out on the other side as a better, stronger person.

Scientific name: Betta splendens
Bettas are also called Siamese Fighting Fish, and the males will usually fight to the death if put in the same bowl, but
females can often live together in the same aquarium. Click
here to see several female Bettas living together in a 6-gallon aquarium.
Keep the female separate from the male in a fish bowl or an aquarium and feed her lots of live and frozen food so she'll fill with eggs. Bettas are not easy to
breed but not too difficult either. The fry are very small and rather difficult to raise in aquariums. Click
here for more about breeding Bettas.
Before you try to breed and raise Bettas, you should practice breeding and raising some easier fish. Click

Guardians of Rescue, a New York based animal rescue group, will now be enlisting the help of private investigators. Their new tactics will help protect more animals and hold more animal abusers accountable.
"It's very difficult to prove animal abuse, even for things such as dog fighting," said Robert Misseri, president of Guardians of Rescue. "We will get reports of suspected abuse, and we go in and check it out. But even when it's obvious that animal cruelty is taking place by ample evidence, the person is often still within the law because they are meeting the basic needs of the pet, including shelter, food and water."
He further explains that the laws are too weak, and when there is resistance from the pet owner, it raises a red flag that there may be some kind of animal abuse going on or other illegal activity.
Misseri says that usually the dogs are taken elsewhere to fight. Often times, they also find that if they are into dog fighting, they are also into other illegal activities. That's where having a team of private investigators will be helpful.
The private investigator will be enlisted to find other charges that can be used against the animal abuser, such as drug dealing, disabilities fraud, etc. They can help secure the photos and videos that can assist in getting charges pressed against the abusers. People who are into other illegal activities often keep the dogs around the home for protection.
For example, recently they found a man who was breeding dogs in his backyard and supplying them to known dog fighters. The man had been on disability for three years, yet the private investigator had video of him lifting the dogs in huge crates. The authorities were alerted.
"When we see a hot house with multiple dogs on real short chains and tiny dog houses we know they spend most of their time out if it," added Misseri. "They are just there to protect the property. We know these are usually drug houses. It's frustrating as we don't want to break any laws, but we have a legal obligation to report people for the sake of animal welfare along with any illegal activity we observe."
Misseri explains that the dogs usually suffer through the cold, the heat, sickness, and limited access to water and food. Yet the law still favors those cause such harm and not much is done to help the animals. The first goal of Guardians of Rescue is to offer the people the opportunity to surrender the dogs to them. The second option is giving them a proper dog house, a fenced pen, and free vet services. Many people will work with the rescue organization. When they won't, it raises a red flag, and that's when the organization will be working with private investigators to dig deeper into what is going on in the lives of those with the animals.
"If they are committing a crime, I will find them and turn them over to law enforcement," adds Joseph LaBella, a former NYPD/DEA Task force undercover detective who is working with the animal rescue organization.
Guardians of Rescue is an organization whose mission is to protect the well-being of all animals. They provide aid to animals in distress, including facilitating foster programs, rehabilitation, assisting other rescue groups, and providing support to families, both military and not, who need assistance due to economic factors.

Americans are very lucky people. Not one of us can deny the powerful brotherhood that exists with our men and women in the military. Whether known by name or not, they are some of our truest friends and their loyalty is unfaltering.
They stand up for us and protect us. Some will go so far as to lay down their lives for us. Is their no greater a friendship than that?
Veteran's Day is a day to reflect upon the sacrifices that these men and women make on a daily basis for individuals they will likely never meet. They leave their own families and dreams behind to ensure that each and every American can remain with theirs.
How befitting that Veteran's Day, a chance to honor these brave soldiers, comes directly before the most joyous time of the year. We are able to appreciate and celebrate this upcoming Season because of the freedoms we have been allotted by this great Country.
As we usher in the Holidays, whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah or another religious celebration, make today the day to say a special prayer for our Veterans. We are able to celebrate this Season as we choose because of their sacrifices. They ask for nothing in return for the incredible gifts they bestow upon us. A prayer, a remembrance, or a simple thank you is a small price for us to pay for such selfless acts.
Remember that Veterans from as far back as World War II are still among us. If given the opportunity, take the three and a half hour drive from Atlantic County and travel to the World War II Memorial in Washington DC. There you can witness first hand these amazing elderly Veterans who fought for us before we were even a thought in the minds of our parents. You can feel the pride that is still present in every one of those men. Frail and slow moving, yet tall and strong in their unwavering devotion to our Country.
Life as we know it should not be taken for granted. Freedom is a right, not "a given". Travel the world and visit less fortunate countries. See first hand how very blessed we are. Today we honor our Veterans. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, they protect us.
