Is my wound created by a spider bite?
Yadwinder Dhillon, MD, is a physician at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix
Question: I have a wound on my leg and suspect it is from a spider bite. It's been two months and the area does not appear to be healing. What should I do?
Answer: Wounds caused by venomous or infectious bites need medical attention. In the short term, the best thing to do is keep the area clean and bandaged. You can wash the wound with soap and water daily, and apply some antibacterial cream to keep the area moist and free from infection. Depending on the size and location of the wound, a physician may recommend special wound care products, and may need to clean the wound using special instruments to reduce the amount of bacteria and remove any dead tissue that may be impeding the healing process.
There are many spiders in Arizona that have a venomous bite. The Arizona Brown Spider and the Black Widow are two commonly known spiders whose bites can result in actual tissue death. The bite itself is usually not felt, and only noticed once skin changes begin to occur.
The venom from the bite will cause cells within the tissue to rupture and die within the area of the bite. This will cause the body's defensive mechanism to turn on, and cause inflammation and pain at the sight. The cycle continues for some time, causing the wound to increase in size and show the true depth of damage.
Another cause of non-healing wounds is infection. Almost all insects, including spiders, pick up bacteria which live on the fangs of the insect. When they bite, it can inject the tissue with the bacteria that causes an infection. The body may not be able to completely kill the bacteria which results in a low-level infection in an expanding wound. The time it will take for the wound to heal will depend on the type of bacteria and the person's ability to heal, as not everyone heals at the same rate.
The body's immune system reacts in a way to fight off the foreign material injected by the insect. If the body's reaction gets out of control, or the body is not able to control the damage, it becomes a chronic wound. Depending on the location on the body of the wound and the person's health, certain wounds may take longer to heal. In general a wound should show 50 percent reduction in size within a month, otherwise it is considered non-healing. With good care, all wounds should heal with time.

The first assistance dogs were developed in Germany in the 1920s as guide dogs for veterans who lost their sight during World War I. There are now three basic types of assistance dogs:
Animal Assisted Activities are casual activities where people and pets connect. These meetings can happen anywhere, at any time, and help make tough situations a little easier for the people involved. These dogs might conduct visits to nursing homes, childcare facilities, schools, and even disaster sites. Though the dogs don't need any specialized training, it is important that they be calm and friendly and well behaved. These dogs work with lots of different people.
Animal Assisted Therapy is when an animal such as a therapy dog is an important part of someone's physical, social, and emotional therapy activities. For example, a physical therapist might work with a patient and therapy dog to improve their physical fitness. Dog grooming, walking and even Frisbee throwing can help with coordination, strength, and flexibility. These dogs require special training and work intensely with one person at a time.

COMMUNITY: Peer-to-Peer
Demystifying ITBy Blair Campbell
Three peers on faith in end users, straightforward problem solving, and specializing.
Susan Behn
Which new features in Oracle applications are you currently finding most valuable? Oracle E-Business Suite Diagnostics is one of the suite's best and most underutilized features. Rolling this out to those in the user community who use our applications to perform their job functions can take a huge load off already overworked IT departments.
How have you seen the relationship between IT and your user community evolve? I remember the days when IT was thought of as that geeky group in the back room who could automate some business processes mysteriously, and any minor deviation required significant help. Now, with everyone using the internet and smartphones, it's not so mysterious. Those of us in IT need to have confidence that the user community can manage more of their own applications, including error corrections.
What advice do you have about how to get into application development and support? Start early, be open to trying new things, and be very self-motivated. When I want to learn something new, I start by trying to build a presentation to teach it to someone else.
Connor McDonald
How did you get started in IT? When I was 10 years old, if you won the weekly classroom math quiz at my school, you got a precious hour on the school's sole Apple II computer. From that point on, I was hooked. I worked as a mainframe IMS [Information Management System] programmer before being exposed to Oracle Database during the client/server boom. A talk by [longtime Oracle expert] Dave Ensor inspired me to invest more time in continuous learning about Oracle technology, rather than being happy with the status quo.
What is your favorite technique on the job? It's actually from the movie Apollo 13: "Let's work the problem, people." People think that getting the best out of Oracle technology is some sort of mystical art. It's not. You just need to take a methodical, disciplined approach without resorting to guesswork or unproven claims.
What is your go-to Oracle reference book right now? Probably Expert Oracle Exadata by Kerry Osborne, Randy Johnson, and Tanel Põder (Apress, 2011). Everyone seems to be getting on Oracle Exadata, so it's good to be getting some solid insight into it.
Rob Zoeteweij
What advice do you have about how to get into Oracle technology? As Oracle Fusion Middleware becomes more and more important, try to specialize in this area—and focus in particular on products such as Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle Universal Content Management, Oracle WebCenter, and Oracle Identity Management.
What technology has most changed your life? I would say Oracle Database has most changed my life—next to Harley-Davidson technology, which has made it possible for me to relax riding my 2010 FLHX Street Glide after a hard day's work.

Dodgers: You be the GM
The Los Angeles Dodgers walked away from the 2011 season without a bitter aftertaste, thanks to a strong 45-27 finish. But that walk, even with the end-of-the-season push, didn't lead to the playoffs. The strong surge at the end was encouraging, especially for 2012, but the slow start that undermined the season should also serve as a red flag to the front office that at least some changes need to be made this winter. Here are some suggested ones.
Position Players
Rod Barajas
Position: C
Jackson: Free agent who could hold down fort until Federowicz is ready. Take him
Casey Blake
Position: 3B
Jackson: Good guy but injury-prone free agent who is nearing the end. Trash him
Jamey Carroll
Position: INF
Jackson: Valuable piece if Dodgers can hold onto him but is a free agent who wants more playing time. Take him
A.J. Ellis
Position: C
Jackson: Solid backup who could be a fixture for years to come. Take him
Andre Ethier
Position: RF
Jackson: Has power, which Dodgers need, but his act is wearing thin, and his trade value is still fairly high. Trash him
Dee Gordon
Position: SS
Jackson: Figures to be the everyday shortstop for years to come, but will his body hold up to a full season? Take him
Tony Gwynn
Position: OF
Jackson: Solid defensive guy who saved two games with diving catches and never complains about role, but he'll cost a lot more next year. Take him
Matt Kemp
Position: CF
Jackson: The franchise player isn't going anywhere anytime soon, no matter how much Dodgers have to pony up. Take him
James Loney
Position: 1B
Jackson: His midseason turnaround mirrored that of team. Take him
Aaron Miles
Position: INF
Jackson: Versatile veteran proved invaluable after string of injuries to other players. Take him
Juan Rivera
Position: LF/1B
Jackson: Colletti never got enough credit for this move, which gave Kemp more protection in the lineup, but he's a free agent. Take him
Jerry Sands
Position: LF/1B
Jackson: He won't make the team unless he's ready to play every day, but his ability to adjust is a sign he will be. Take him
Justin Sellers
Position: INF
Jackson: Not an everyday second-base option. Trash him
Juan Uribe
Position: INF
Jackson: They're stuck with him for now, and he does have some power when he's healthy. Take him
Chad Billingsley
Position: SP
Jackson: Contract makes him untradeable, but Mattingly has made it clear he wants to see improvement. Take him
Jonathan Broxton
Position: RP
Jackson: Finally pinpointing elbow issue should help, but there are questions about competitiveness and a change of scenery is probably best. Trash him
Scott Elbert
Position: RP
Jackson: Finally grew into role as effective situational lefty. Take him
John Ely
Position: SP
Jackson: Too inconsistent to be big part of future. Trash him
Nathan Eovaldi
Position: SP
Jackson: Strong rookie showing means he'll likely begin season in rotation. Take him
Dana Eveland
Position: SP
Jackson: Good guy to have around to plug into fifth spot if needed. Take him
Jon Garland
Position: SP
Jackson: No chance Dodgers try to re-sign him. Trash him
Javy Guerra
Position: RP
Jackson: Probably the Dodgers' closer for the forseeable future. Take him
Matt Guerrier
Position: RP
Jackson: Disappointing year but a durable veteran signed through 2013. Take him
Blake Hawksworth
Position: RP
Jackson: Final appearance will live in infamy but suffered from infrequent use in September. Take him
Kenley Jansen
Position: RP
Jackson: One of the great stories for the Dodgers in 2011, averaging 16-plus strikeouts per nine innings. Take him
Clayton Kershaw
Position: SP
Jackson: Arguably best starter in National League and under club control through 2014. Take him
Hong-Chih Kuo
Position: RP
Jackson: Tough to say this, but Dodgers can no longer count on him as they once did. Trash him
Hiroki Kuroda
Position: SP
Jackson: His future is in his own hands, but Dodgers desperately need him to stay. Take him
Ted Lilly
Position: SP
Jackson: He is what he is, prone to giving up long balls and stolen bases, but a savvy veteran. Take him
Josh Lindblom
Position: RP
Jackson: Fully recovered now from failed minor league conversion to starting. Take him
Mike MacDougal
Position: RP
Jackson: Too many walks but an otherwise solid year out of Dodgers pen. Take him
Don Mattingly
Position: Manager
Jackson: Managed like a rookie at times, but team played hard for him and never quit.
Ned Colletti
Position: GM
Jackson: Signed Uribe but also got Rivera for nothing.
Frank McCourt
Position: Owner
Jackson: Does this even warrant a comment?

A man was robbed at an Amarillo supermarket Wednesday morning.
The 52-year-old victim was in the parking lot of Albertsons, 4215 W. 45th Ave., about 11:30 a.m. when he was approached by three men. One of the men demanded money, and when the victim refused, one of the men threatened to beat him up, police reports said.
The victim then surrendered a small amount of money, and the robbers left the area in a silver car. There were no injuries, reports showed.

College Hockey:Fairfield, UConn Battle To Draw
Jepson Knots Game Late In Third
FAIRFIELD, Conn. — The Huskies' Jonathan Jepson scored the tying goal and added an assist as Fairfield and Connecticut battled to a 2-2 tie Saturday night.
The draw moves the Stags to 0-3-1 and 0-0-1, and the Huskies to 1-3-1 overall and 0-2-1 in the conference.
Kurt Kamienski put UConn on the board at 8:24 of the first period when he collected a loose puck off a Fairfield turnover and ripped a low shot through traffic that found the back of the net.
Jepson collected an assist on the play, which was the only real scoring chance of the first period, as neither team played with much urgency.
After a scoreless second, Dan Cotter tied the game for Fairfield with a goal just 4:11 into the third. Ryan Tormey and Rae Metz each put shots on the cage, creating a scramble in front the net, and Cotter picked up the rebound and finally buried the goal.
Steve Calderara put the Stags up by one with another rebound goal off shots by Jim Lubinski and Casey Laflamme, but UConn did not roll over as Jepson scored at 17:16 to knot the game at two.
Matt Owens fired the puck on goal from just below the top of the right circle. Robert Ryan collected the rebound and found Jepson, who blasted it past the diving goalie.
Craig Schnappinger had another solid outing between the pipes for Fairfield with 21 saves. Artie Imbriano had 23 stops for the Huskies.

Let's consider the simplest situation. On the one dimensional line of integers, and we starts from the origin. Each time we either move left or right (at the same probability) for 1 unit. How do I show that, for however large $m$, the probability that we eventually go farther than $m$ units from the origin is $1$?

Reviews for Louisiana Gumbo
"I mostly followed the recipe, but I added one tablespoon of Creole seasoning to give it more flavor. I personally cook roux (canola oil and flour) until it is a chocolate-brown - some people might cook it to a deeper color or cook it less for a lighter color - it all depends on your personal preferences. I also use 1/2 cup flour instead of 3/4 cup as I like that consistency better. All in all, a very good recipe. My family enjoyed having shrimp, chicken, ham & sausage all in one meal."
"first time making gumbo. only thing think it needs about 1,1/2 lbs. of shrimp. IT is out of this world."
"This is the easiest and tastiest gumbo I've made. I don't add ham nor a roasted chicken. I boil or brown chicken thighs. Awesome recipe."
"This is not gumbo. How dare you destroy the good name and flavour and hisotry of Gumbo with this blatant, tasteless, worthless lie. YOU DO NOT PUT BEANS IN GUMBO. Your photo looks nothing like gumbo. You a horrid chef."
"This is not the way of any real southern ladies idea of gumbo.Both of g.moms from the deep south.I was showed the real southern way to make gumbo,and this an't it.sorry you blew it."

G15 & circular polarising filters
I've just ordered a filter adapter and a Kood CPL filter for my G15. Has anyone any tips for using a CPL on a G15? I imaging seeing the effect on the screen can be difficult in strong light. Would it be easier to look through the filter and rotate it to find and mark the optimal position before attaching it to the camera?
I bought the CPL to help when taking photos of foliage. It's the beginning of spring so there will be lots of flowers to photograph. Looking through my shots from last year I see a lot of blown highlights on the tips of leaves and petals, hopefully the CPL will help eliminate some of those this year.

The New Orleans Saints had two of the NFL's most prominent defensive free agents in town Monday, Atlanta Falcons middle linebacker Curtis Lofton and Denver Broncos defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley. There's no word on whether the Saints have offered a contract to either player, but the team is focused on adding reinforcements for new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo to work with.
The Saints previously had visited with linebackers David Hawthorne of the Seattle Seahawks and Joe Mays. Mays opted to re-sign with the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Lofton, who turns 26 this summer, has been a full-time starter for the Falcons since they drafted him in the second round out of Oklahoma in 2008. He has started 63 of a possible 64 games.
The 6-foot, 241-pounder's greatest strength is as a run stuffer. According to NFL.com, he made 492 tackles in the past four seasons, including a career-high 147 last year. He also has seven career forced fumbles and three interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown last season.
Bunkley, 28, would fill a more glaring need for the Saints. He's considered among the best run-defending tackles available. And New Orleans' top two nose tackles from last season, Aubrayo Franklin and Shaun Rogers, are unrestricted free agents.
Bunkley (6-2, 306) had a standout season in 2011 with 43 tackles after being traded to Denver by the Philadelphia Eagles. A first-round draft pick by the Eagles in 2006, he was a decent starter there for most of five years but never lived up to expectations. The change of scenery apparently served him well.
Meanwhile, all of the Saints' defensive free agents remain unsigned. Cornerback Tracy Porter is scheduled to visit the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, according to various reports. Porter has received interest from a handful of teams, and this will be his second visit after a trip to Cincinnati late last week.
Porter also was expected to visit Oakland, though that might not happen now that the Raiders have signed cornerback Shawntae Spencer, their second cornerback signing in recent days. There have been no reported visits for Franklin, Rogers or linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar.

Carbon dioxide has reached its highest concentration, 400 parts per million, in the atmosphere in three million years. The earth is closing in on its tipping point of carrying capacity, the maximum population the environment's food, habitat, water and other life necessities can sustain thanks to modern medicine, industrialization, and mechanized agriculture.
Overcapacity could be avoided if about 3 percent of the population now reduce their footprint by 25 percent, gradually increasing to 50 percent of the people by 2050. The United States has by far the biggest average footprint and other nations are becoming unwilling to carry the ecological deficit. China has higher emission rates but their population is four times greater.
To help reduce the footprint:
- car commuting must be replaced by effective mass transit
- an infrastructure of alternative energy sources must be developed, more wind and solar farms
- national policies must be enforced independent of big agriculture, big oil, and big corporations self-interests
- more coal and oil must be left in the ground; more trees in the forests
- fewer resources must be used and less waste produced
- fewer children must be encouraged
- less meat must be consumed in diets
- more people must plant gardens and buy local seasonal produce
- construction of smaller houses must be increased
- fertilizer and pesticide use must be decreased
- fewer plastics like plastic bottles must be used.
A growing number of Americans are making necessary changes in their personal efforts and encouraging others to do the same. This helps build public awareness but more needs to be done. Much is already subject to public political control but more policies are needed to regulate the efforts. Specific and measurable practices must be demanded for government and corporate accountability. Big changes are needed and people must seriously support them. Just putting recycling out once a week is not enough.
The American way of life is in jeopardy and stands to lose the most when the carrying capacity is exceeded. It will be too late if the solutions are left to our children and grandchildren.

Daisuke Takahashi and Mao Asada
Golden at Nationals
Daisuke Takahashi rocked the house at the 2011 Japanese national championships in Osaka with a sensational short program that put the homeland superstar on another planet in the world of skating.
His performance, which included his first clean quad (toe loop) triple toe combination in competition this season, earned a score of 96.03 and put him more than 10 points ahead of Takahiko Kozuka and 20 ahead of Yuzuru Hanyu.
Serious technical issues in the free skate plagued the 2010 World champion who ranked only third in the segment. He fell on an attempted quad, a planned triple Axel combination and the triple flip.
Still, Takahashi claimed his fifth national title with 254.60. Kozuka was second (250.97) and Hanyu placed third (241.91).
"I feel really disappointed because that was one of my worst free skates," Takahashi told the Japan Times.
In the ladies event, Mao Asada came from behind after the short to also win her fifth national title with 184.07 ahead of Akiko Suzuki (179.27) and Kanako Murakami (172.69).
"This was a competition that was held under unusual circumstances for me," Asada tearfully told The Asahi Shimbun. "So I'm happy, and I'm sure my mother is, too. I think she knows I won, even if I am unable to report to her."
The top three in both disciplines will represent Japan at the 2012 World Figure Skating Championships in Nice.
Plushenko Wins Europeans Appeal
Following his uncontested victory at Russian nationals, Evgeni Plushenko announced his intention to compete at the 2012 European Championships.
The International Skating Union (ISU) weighed in stating he was not eligible to do so given that he did not compete last season and therefore did not have the requisite number of points required.
The Russian federation filed an appeal with the ISU, stating in part that Plushenko's presence would enhance the event. The request was subsequently granted, clearing the way for Plushenko to compete in Sheffield, England later this month.
The official statement from the ISU: "The ISU received a specific request from the Figure Skating Federation of Russia pointing out that the skater Evgeny Plushenko was unable, for different reasons, to obtain the required minimum score in an International Competition during the ongoing and past season.
"Based on this request and also noting that Evgeny Plushenko has recently returned to competitive skating by winning the Russian National Championships at the end of December 2011, the ISU Council exceptionally agreed to accept the entry of Evgeny Plushenko into the ISU European Figure Skating Championships 2012 in Sheffield/Great Britain.
This exceptional decision is valid for the ISU European Figure Skating Championships 2012 only."
Banner Year for Chan
Aside from the multiple on-ice victories Patrick Chan has enjoyed thus far this season, the off-ice awards keep coming for the young man who celebrated his 21st birthday on New Years Eve.
In late December the Canadian Press voted Chan male athlete of the year and winner of the Lionel Conacher Award for 2011.
The prestigious award, which is named after the late multi-sport star was the overwhelming choice of the Canadian Press as the outstanding male athlete for half a century, is in recognition of Chan's dominance in the figure skating domain in 2011.
"The award is voted on annually by sports editors and broadcasters across the country," said Neil Davidson, General Sports Editor for Canadian Press.
"Chan joins the likes of Sidney Crosby, Wayne Gretzky, Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, Guy Lafleur, Bobby Hull, Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux, Donovan Bailey, Ferguson Jenkins and Rocket Richard in winning the award."
Lionel Conacher was an NHL defenceman who won two Stanley Cups, a Grey Cup in football, excelled at lacrosse, and won a Canadian light-heavyweight boxing title.
In early January Chan won the Canadian Sports Awards male athlete of the year honour from the True Sport Foundation.
This brings to six the number of honors bestowed upon Chan in the past few months. He was named Sportsnet's 2011 Canadian Athlete of the Year, won the Toronto Star's Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada's top athlete for 2011, the QMI news agency's male athlete of the year award and named CBC Sports' Athlete of the Year.
Chan celebrated his 21st birthday on New Years Eve.
Johnny Weir Ties the Knot
Johnny Weir and his partner Viktor Voronov wed on Dec. 31 at the New York City Courthouse. The couple exchanged vows with both sets of parents in attendance.
"I'm married!" Weir tweeted to the 103,000 people who follow him on the popular social network. "Wedding in summer!" he added. "But all the official stuff is done now! No more livin' in sin!"
Voronov later tweeted: "Ringing in the New Year with my new hubby @JohnnyGWeir! #ELATED."
The couple honeymooned in Punta Cana. A formal wedding is planned for sometime in July.

ISU Detect Flaw in Calculation Program
In late December, the International Skating Union announced that it had detected a flaw in its calculation program used by the judges.
"In all fairness to the sport we have to inform you that after the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final of Quebec City a calculation error in the ISU Judging System calculation program has been detected," the press release stated in part.
The problem was detected in the Grade of Execution being awarded for the Combination Lift.
The release went on to say: "The difference of 0.5 points emanating from this calculation error was enough to result in a switch in the free dance ranking…Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir (CAN) should have been ranked in first place and Meryl Davis and Charlie White (USA) second in this segment.
"It is important to point out however that the final ranking (short dance and free dance combined) has not changed."

This is an interesting article. As a Church social media advocate, I have to sift through a lot of content to glean where social media is going and determine how best the Church can adopt the latest, and even if it should.
I agree with your take on visual content being a no brainer. This becomes even more relevant if one considers that technology has advanced such that embedded text on images is now searchable. Where then in the past one would have to have both visual and textual content, these are now combined into a single experience.
Again your take on short video is relevant as I find myself making the same decisions. Time is the most valuable asset we possess and we don't want to waste it. Keep it short. Keep it simple. Keep it worthwhile.
As to targeted content, "everyone" is talking about it. That's why personal information is so important and must be shared wisely.
Interesting to read about internal social networking. I have heard of a number of companies that have blocked social networks due to time waste by employees, so it will be interesting to see how the early adopters of this trend fare.
From a Church social media perspective, all of your points are worth taking note of. The one that stands out for me though is how are enterprise social networks going to impact both the Church and businesses? For businesses, closed social networks (and I'm assuming ESN's will essentially be closed networks) means they lose potential customers both in direct marketing reach as well as in brand engagement and awareness.
For the Church (institution), we lose our ability to reach and influence seekers. But we are better off than businesses in that we will still have the ability to still reach potential people through church members reaching out to their colleagues. Becoming purposefully social becomes far more important as it cannot be left over to the church institution to try reach these people anymore; everyone is going to have to be involved.
Thanks for the article.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who conceded on Tuesday that there have been on-going discussions regarding a new contract with the team -- Brees is in the final year of his initial six-year, $60 million deal -- was engaged in a lively discussion with General Manager Mickey Loomis post-practice Wednesday.
Brees' talk with Loomis delayed him from tossing the ball around with actor Zac Efron, a practice visitor who's in town for a movie shoot.
Brees was also chatting during practice with owner Tom Benson.
Just this week, the Philadelphia Eagles signed quarterback Michael Vick to a six-year, $100 million deal.

There are lots of wine faults out there -- many different ways that wine can be spoiled, off, or just plain ruined. Some of them are difficult to detect, like TCA. Most regular wine consumers have had plenty of corked wine in their lives, they just haven't known it, as it manifests in ways that are subtle and beyond the detection of casual wine drinkers, who simply may just not enjoy the wine they are drinking, rather than realizing that it is faulty.
One of the wine faults that is nearly impossible to mistake, unless the drinker has lost all sense of smell, is the tainting of wine with hydrogen sulfide. A natural byproduct of fermentation, especially fermentation which takes place in a slightly oxygen deprived environment, hydrogen sulfide is an inorganic compound that smells like rotten eggs, cabbage stew, or even week-old garbage. In a word: yucky.
It's rare that a wine suffers from this, but on occasion, it happens, and there's no mistaking it. I've had a few wines spoiled by this smell to greater or lesser degree. Sometimes the smell will dissipate with a little air, but often it's just too overwhelming.
What I didn't know is that there is a cure for this. Yes, thanks to a recent post on Robin Garr's Wine Lover's Page, I now know a blindingly simple, nearly unbelievable cure for turning hydrogen sulfide tainted wine into its previously untainted self.
A single copper penny.
Apparently the copper on the penny reacts with the hydrogen sulfide and binds it up into tiny inert molecules of cupric sulfide and water. It's that simple. Read the explanation here.
I can't wait to try it myself. I only hope I remember the trick when I need it next.

No. 31 WASHINGTON AT No. 4 UCLA
April 12 | 1:30 p.m. | Whiteman Tennis Center | Los Angeles
No. 31 WASHINGTON AT No. 2 USC
April 13 | 1:00 p.m. | Marks Tennis Stadium | Los Angeles
SEATTLE -- No. 31 Washington (15-8, 2-2) heads to Southern California this weekend for a tough pair of matches against No. 2 UCLA (18-1, 4-0) and No. 4 USC (20-2, 3-0). The Dawgs face the Bruins on Friday, April 12, at 1:30 p.m., followed by the Trojans on Saturday, April 13, at 1 p.m.
Washington evened its conference record last weekend, dropping a pair of close ones to the Bay Area schools. The Dawgs won the on the top three singles courts against Stanford, but after losing doubles, dropped all three matches on the back courts to fall, 4-3. Against California, the Dawgs fell 5-2, despite being in several matches that ended up not going their way.
Kyle McMorrow continued his sensational play this season, winning both matches at No.1 and improving to 20-4, including 18-2 in dual matches. The Husky senior is currently ranked No. 17 in the nation and is riding a 12-match winning streak.
The other winners on the weekend were Marton Bots and Max Manthou who picked up wins against Stanford and Nicholas Kamisar who earned a victory against Cal. Bots is 8-7 on the year at No. 2 singles, while Manthou is 12-8, moving between No. 2, 3 and 4. Nicholas Kamisar earned the second win against Cal and is now 11-4 in dual matches and 15-5 overall.
Washington lost the doubles point in both matches over the weekend, which contributed to the pair of losses after UW had won six in a row.
This weekend's opponents are two of the top teams in the nation and the last unbeatens in the Pac-12. UCLA's only loss came to USC at the ITA National Team Indoors. The Bruins have four ranked players, including No. 18 Marcos Giron, No. 20 Adrian Puget, No. 32 Dennis Novikov and No. 70 Dennis Mkrtchian. In addition, all three of the UCLA's doubles squads are ranked. Overall, the Dawgs are just 2-29 against UCLA, including falling 5-2 last season.
USC has just two losses on the season, including the ITA Team Indoor finals against Virginia and a couple days later in a non-conference dual versus UCLA. The Trojans have eight ranked players, including No. 5 Emilio Gomez, No. 11 Ray Sarmiento, No. 34 Roberto Quiroz, No. 48 Yannick Hanfmann, No. 75 Eric Johnson, No. 90 Jonny Wang, No. 97 Michael Grant and No. 124 Max De Vroome. In addition, USC has six ranked doubles teams, although some players are ranked on multiple teams. Overall, it is potentially the most talented roster in the nation and a reason that USC has won four-straight national titles. Washington is just 4-26 all-time against USC, including last season's 7-0 loss.
Following the weekend, Washington will close the season at No. 43 Oregon on April 20. The Pac-12 Championships begin on April 24 in Ojai, Calif.

ASK IRA: Has Dorell run out of chances?
Q: A DUI and a Twitter controversy? It hasn't been a banner year for Dorell. How does this compromise his impending free-agency status? — Simon.
A: Any chance of the Heat considering any type of long-term deal is just about out the door. He's not a bad kid, but he's also not a reliable investment. It's a shame, because he has finally come around on the court and makes his team better. But no one needs this type of drama with an eighth man.
Q: Ira, with U.D.'s performance this season coming off the bench, how do you feel about his chances for the Sixth Man Award? — Robert.
A: Well, if it wasn't for Jamal Crawford, who deserves to be a unanimous winner, you could at least make an argument. But Crawford has excelled in that role with the Hawks. What Udonis has shown is that he can thrive in either a starting role or as a reserve. In some ways, this second-team stint might have enhanced his value.
Q: What about Joel Anthony for Most Improved Player? He's becoming a defensive force. This year he can actually score a bit. Last year he was more of a negative on offense. — Randy.
A: Uh, let's not make this a get-carried-away Tuesday. Joel has proven to have considerable value this season, but hasn't done nearly enough to be considered for any postseason award.
Q: Hey Ira, I think the Heat should trade Beasley this summer and get something worthwhile in return while he has value. He is been awful lately. — Carlos.
A: And you believe he has value because? If there was going to be an attractive deal, it was at the trading deadline. Now the Heat might have to go through another season of attempting to re-establish his market.
Q: What do you think the chances are of us getting Bosh in a sign and trade? I would give up Beasley and filler in two seconds. Bryan Colangelo said he would be open to a sign and trade if that is what Bosh wanted. — Mike.
A: I'm sure Bryan would. I'm also sure he could do far better in a sign-and-trade elsewhere, be it with the Lakers for Bynum or Odom, the Rockets for Battier or Ariza, the Mavericks for Butler, the Knicks for Lee, or the Bulls for Deng, Noah or Hinrich. There is nothing compelling about the Heat roster when it comes to sign-and-trades.

If you listen to Israel's leaders and spokespersons, their tone is empathetic, compassionate, but direct. They want to show restraint toward inflicting unnecessary harm against Gaza civilians, and yet they are direct in their intention to eliminate Hamas as a source of terrorist opposition. Gazan citizens have a choice and that is to seek peace with Israel through moderation or align with terrorists. Aligning with terrorists is on a path to annihilation since Hamas has been and remains committed to undermining the nation of Israel. The free world must take sides in this conflict because the choices are:
1. Terrorists
2. Free world ally
There truly isn't any choice.
A report from The Guardian underscores that Israel is targeting Hamas leaders. That is intended to undermine the viability of the organization just as the U.S. eliminated Osama bin Laden. There most certainly will be collateral damage in all of this. That is why Israel is labeling their actions as being "limited ground operations".
For Israel, decisions about how to respond to Hamas rockets are difficult. Now, there is another point of view. Assume that you are an Arab living in Gaza behind a wall. Your life is constrained because some members of your community are terrorists committed to eliminating Israel. Others just want to eek out a peaceful existence. When Israelis commit acts of violence and develop lands that Arabs believe are their property, that leads to resentment. Here is a story by Mnar Muhawesh that illustrates how an independent journalist tries to balance her viewpoint. She lived on the Arab side.
"What The Media's Getting Wrong About Israel And Palestine — And Why It Matters
MintPress founder and editor-in-chief, Mnar Muhawesh, discusses the profound personal effects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
By Mnar Muhawesh @mnarmuh | July 10, 2014
From 2000 to 2007, about 1,000 Israelis have been killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and nearly 6,000 Palestinians have been killed. Since the recent assault on Gaza under Operation Protective Edge, over 80 Palestinians have been killed, including 22 children and 13 women, plus 469 wounded including 166 children and 85 women, and over 75 houses destroyed — those numbers continue to rise. Hamas' rockets firing into Israel have killed zero Israeli civilians since the cross fire began last week.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Information's latest report on civilian casualties, one Palestinian child has been killed by Israel every three days for the last 13 years.
As an American who has lived in Jerusalem, I struggle between the want to share what I feel is the vast media cover-up of the Israeli-led violence and the want to stand up and say, "enough." Both messages echo truths, from those trapped within the violence to those silenced for reporting the violent assault.
All rocket fire should be condemned, whether it be by Hamas or Israel, that much I know is true.
The deaths of Israeli teens Naftali Fraenkel, Gilad Shaer and Eyal Yifrah represent a tragedy- one that no family should have to face. Violence touches communities deeply and does not spare race, creed or intellect. What I grapple with, is the reaction to their deaths — Israeli lawmakers calling for a genocide and vengeance against Arabs, the torture and murder of 17-year-old Muhammad Abu Khdair by Israeli settlers, Israeli settlers' continued kidnapping and abuse of Palestinian children, and now the Israeli military operation and violent assault against Gaza that is collectively punishing 1.7 million people who are already living in poverty. Gaza has been described by human rights groups as an open air prison with no where to escape. It has to end.
This massacre will only continue to bring pain and suffering to a conflict that has taught both Israeli and Palestinian youth that a roadmap for peace has been shattered.
As I watch the media play headline games and act as a lapdog to a U.S. ally, it takes me back to the year 2001, when I returned to the U.S. after living in Jerusalem for about four years."
Addressing Mnar Muhawesh, the only path available to ending the conflict is for peace-seeking Gazans to join with Israelis to become a part of a united Israelis nation. Here is why.
- There is no viable alternative
- The present conditions are unsustainable
- The way forward cannot be through terrorism and violence
- Arabs must try a peaceful path and reject violence
- Doing that, Gazans will attract enormous support
Still, there is a huge barrier to the way forward. The population in the region is too great as it outstrips natural resources to sustain it. Determining what to do to manage the population is an essential part of the solution. That will require government policies that may be in conflict with peoples religious beliefs. Separating religion from politics will be a challenge and a struggle for all concerned in the way forward.
"Israeli air strikes target Hamas leaders as ceasefire fails
Netanyahu's security cabinet discusses limited ground operation in Gaza as more Palestinians killed in overnight attacks
Israeli missiles struck the houses of several senior Hamas figures overnight, as at least seven Palestinians were reportedly killed in the latest escalation of violence.The renewed strikes came a day after the failure of a brief and one-sided ceasefire on Tuesday observed by Israel, but not by Hamas.
Among the residences targeted were those of former interior minister Fathi Hamad and senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar, which was destroyed. Zahar was said to be hiding elsewhere at the time of the missile strike."

Although from its inception and until 1956, the organization focused on health, there was an ever-present conviction that children's problems should be the object of a comprehensive approach rather than submitted to partial solutions.
This comprehensive approach to child-related issues led to the creation of several technical divisions that evolved over the years, in keeping with the new realities affecting children's lives in the region.
At present, there are three technical areas in operation, Promotion and Protection of Rights, Legal, and Communication and Information, but throughout its history, the Institute has exerted its influence in many different matters related to childhood and adolescence.
The Inter-American Children's Institute has always been aware of the importance of rights, and especially legislation on rights, as one of the main vehicles to improve the integration of children and family into society. For this reason, the IIN has made important and innovative contributions in this area. It should be particularly noted that almost every inter-American regulatory framework on children, adolescents and youth has been influenced by – and in some cases resulted from – meetings, research and doctrine promoted by the IIN, mostly through the Pan American Child Congresses that were held as from 1916.
The IIN was also the first institution to take up the responsibility of training human resources on the specialized administration of justice. To that end, it provided university courses of the highest academic level on training, specialization and updating for family judges and children's courts and directors of executive organizations for the protection of children at regional, national and inter-American levels.
At the same time, it has intervened in various education-related areas, such as: handicaps, learning disabilities, early intervention and stimulation, care of multiple sensorial disorders, vocational rehabilitation and pre-school education.
The IIN has also worked in helping children with learning disabilities in the areas of reading, writing and mathematics. It has given courses and trained personnel in all of the American countries, with expanding results. The IIN was in the forefront of activities to make countries aware of the need to integrate handicapped children into the school and social mainstream.
During its early years, the IIN promoted and developed activities to benefit the health of the children in the region, with a special emphasis on topics such as Comprehensive Socio-Medical care for children, nutritional problems affecting children and families, and education on hygiene at individual, family and school levels.
As in other areas, the Institute pioneered the promotion of activities related to Social and Community Paediatrics in most countries in the region. The need to integrate services for research, prevention and healing within a single structure projected towards families and communities, was promoted through Congresses and Conferences.
Throughout the years, several works have been published on drug abuse concerning children and young persons, surveys have been conducted, and information has been processed on this situation in the different countries of the region. Seminars, workshops, training courses and exchanges of experience have been organized as well, thus leading to the creation of specialists in this field.
In 1964, the Inter-American Children's Institute began to participate in the area of civil registration and statistics and developed a number of actions aimed at promoting legislation to improve civil society and vital statistics.
By 1987, the IIN was aware of the importance of being able to have reliable information in order to make appropriate decisions and make accurate analyses and diagnoses of the different situations involving children. On the other hand, the "information era" provided better and faster tools for accessing, processing and analysing data.
At the same time, as the IIN became aware of the absence in the region of reliable information systems specifically related to the needs of children, it launched the Programme for Information on Children and the Family. This initiative positioned the IIN as leader in the development of information systems related to children's issues.
The constant pursuit of providing improved social well-being to all children in the region reached its peak in the 80s with the creation of the Unit of Social Affairs. This Unit was given the mandate of studying the social phenomena of poverty and marginalization and their subsequent impact on the family and on child neglect or abandonment.
The actions proposed to deal with this problem were very innovative at that time since they were based on preventive measures, avoiding as far as possible the uprooting of children from their family environment and keeping institutionalization as a last resort. These initiatives also had a participatory nature as families involved were considered to be active agents in the search for solutions, rather than passive recipients of assistance.

Top 5 reasons life is good
We own an LG television and when we turn it on, it greets us with the message, "Life is good." I couldn't agree more. Sure we've had our ups and downs, but I have been extremely been grateful for my many blessings. So today I thought I'd list my top 5 reasons why life is good right now.
- My health: I'm extremely fortunate that the current chemo combo — Afinitor and Aromasin — has been working so long I've almost lost track. I think it's 17 months now. My oncologist Randy Drosick, who is a wonderful encourager, said he told the medical student helping him that she had to come in to see me because I'm a "biological miracle." He said I look at cancer and stomp on it. It has been six years, three months and three days since I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. But who's counting? I know that this can change any minute, but for now I'm just appreciating every day, one day at a time.
- The Breast Cancer Thrivers Cruise: Last week I came back from a wonderful adventure cruising to Cozumel and Belize with a group of amazing women (and some wonderful spouses). It was a wonderful time and a great way to connect with new friends and some I'd only known on Facebook. I even got to celebrate my birthday on the cruise! I was blessed to be part of a thrivers' panel discussion and able to provide hope for fellow stage IV survivors, while raising awareness for others. If you're interested, the next cruise is out of California in January. Click on this LINK for more information.
- My family and friends: It seems everyone missed me while I was gone, including our cat AJ. I was able to be there for my daughter during a tough time, and she told me she didn't know what she'd do without me. The feeling is certainly mutual. I really missed them, too! My dear friend Susan, who was my college and after-college roommate, and I got to be roommates again on the cruise. It was a great way to reconnect and stoke our long-distance friendship. I have so many friends who have supported me throughout the years. I am so blessed.
- Place for my mom: Like many people in the "sandwich generation," convincing parents they need long-term care can be difficult. I have been bringing up the topic for years with much resistance. Yesterday, I toured a facility that has assisted living that will be great for her, and miracles of miracles, she is agreeing to go! I feel so relieved she will be safe and taken care of — finally.
- My book: The evening before leaving for the cruise, I sent my completed manuscript for my upcoming book, Miracle Survivors, to my editor! I felt such a wave of relief for getting it completed and now have a little break as I await her edits. The book is due out this Fall and I'll be sharing excerpts from it in the meantime.
Hope you all are having an excellent day! Love and hugs to all of you!
