DALLAS, Tex. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – Posttraumatic stress disorder, PTSD, affects nearly 30 percent of troops who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. After they come home, these men and women often experience intense and fearful memories that they just can't forget. Now, new therapies are helping them reset their brains and cope with their emotions.
"It really changed my personality. War changes everybody," Josh Lewis, Retired Marine Sergeant, told Ivanhoe.
"I mentally and emotionally became numb to adverse situations," KeeShaun Coffey, Retired Navy Religious Program Specialist, told Ivanhoe.
Josh Lewis had four tours of duty to the Middle East when he was in the Marines. During that time, he made friends and lost friends.
"Every time you lose a friend, you kind of lose a little bit of yourself," Lewis said.
When he returned to civilian life, Lewis was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and PTSD.
"I had tremendous headaches that just took me out for a day or two," Lewis said. "I was basically stuck at home in bed, just trying to get through it."
KeeShaun Coffey worked as a navy religious program specialist. He saw bodies every day, but when his best friend became one of them Coffey realized something was wrong.
"I couldn't cry. I didn't know what to do," Coffey said.
Coffey withdrew from the Navy, but he also struggled with PTSD when he returned to his normal life.
"I was just having nightmares to where I just slept in my closet," Coffey explained.
Dr. John Hart is studying ways to help people like Coffey and Lewis.
"PTSD—I look at it as a memory disorder. There's a horrible memory that is now locked into your head that produces a fearful response," John Hart, MD, Medical Science Director, Center for BrainHealth, The University of Texas at Dallas, told Ivanhoe.
Dr. Hart and researchers at the Center for BrianHealth have recently discovered how bad memories are stored in the brain.
"We found brain waves that hook the fear center to the memory center," Dr. Hart said.
When the fear center of the brain, called the amygdala , attaches to memory parts— it sends a signal with a rhythm of four hertz. To disrupt this signal, doctors are using repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.
A device is placed on the participants head. A slow electrical current travels to the front part of the brain to target the amygdala and reduce the fear area's attaching to the memory area.
"That's how your brain knows that should be a fearful thing, it attaches to the memory," Dr. Hart explained.
Another way to help is a method called cognitive processing therapy. First, participants talk about their fears and relive them in a safe setting.
"The pain is the cure for the pain. The anxiety is the cure for the anxiety," Tina Bass, MS, LPC, Psychotherapist, The Center for BrainHealth, The University of Texas at Dallas, told Ivanhoe.
Therapists also use a brain-training program to help men and women deal with stress by teaching them how to focus their thoughts and come up with solutions. In a study, veterans who participated in the program reported up to a 50 percent improvement in mood.
Lewis participated in this SMART training and went from having a headache every six weeks to having one every six months. He says he's learned to slow down his thinking.
"We kind of learn to zoom out and look at the problem as a whole," Lewis said.
Coffey says the magnetics treatment has helped him cope with his emotions.
"I can definitely grieve and show emotion now. It takes a real man or woman to actually step up and say that you have an issue," Coffey said.
As part of a clinical study, the repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation treatments are coupled with the cognitive processing therapy and given once a week for 12 weeks. Dr. Hart says he is currently enrolling patients in the Dallas area, and there is no cost for the treatments or therapy sessions.

Tomatoes are an edible fruit that hail from the nightshade family. Yes-I said fruit. As in not vegetable. Botanically, the tomato is a fruit, while for culinary purposes it is treated as a vegetable. Although the tomato plant originated in the South American Andes, its use as a food crop dates back to at least 500BC in southern Mexico. It continued to spread throughout the world after the Spanish colonization of the Americas. The word tomato comes from the Nahuatl word "tomatotl" and first appeared in print usage in 1595. The earliest discovered cookbook that includes recipes for using tomatoes dates back to 1692 and came from Naples.
While tomatoes were a popular plant for ornamental uses in Europe, they were not eaten for centuries because the mistaken belief that they were poisonous. They were also once believed to be a new form of eggplant. Once the fruit of the tomato plant was determined to be safe for human consumption, Italy began to develop many unique varieties to be used in sauces, pizza and for drying. There are approximately 7,500 varieties of tomatoes being grown for various purposes worldwide. While tomatoes are synonymous with Italian cuisine, China is actually the largest producer of commercial tomatoes in the world. Major producers in the United States include Florida and California and it has become one of the most common garden fruit grown in the country.
The fruit of the tomato is as versatile as it is colorful. Ripened fruit come in a wondrous variety of color, including red, yellow, orange, pink, purple, green, black, white and bi-colors, each possessing its own unique texture and flavor. Home grown tomatoes are chosen for flavor above all else while commercially grown fruit are chosen for uniform shape and size, disease and pest resistance and the ability to ripen after harvest. There are two main types of tomato plants: determinate and indeterminate. A determinate tomato bush tops off at a specific height and produces a full crop at one time. It is the preferred type of plant for commercial growers and home canners. Indeterminate tomatoes develop vines that do not stop growing and continue to produce fruit until the plant is killed off by frost. This is the preferred type for home growers and farmers who wish to sell their produce at farmers markets for an entire season.
Unfortunately, not all tomatoes are created equally. Those grown by commercial farmers are harvested before they have ripened on the vine. Ethylene gas is used to ripen them artificially, resulting in a fruit that has a longer shelf life but less flavor and a mealy texture. Tomatoes picked at the peak of the season tend to have both the best flavor and texture. Tomatoes should be stored, unwashed, at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight and place them stem down to slow rot. Tomatoes should not be stored in the refrigerator if at all possible, as this leads flavor loss. Unripened tomatoes should be stored in a paper bag to speed the ripening process.
The benefits of a diet rich in tomatoes has been well documented. Most notable is the fruit's abundance of lycopene, one of the world's most powerful natural anti-oxidants. Benefits of a diet rich in lycopene include:
- Decreased risk of prostate cancer
- Decreased risk of breast cancer
- Decreased risk of head and neck cancer
- Skin is better able to protect against UV rays
- Protection against neuro-degenerative disease
- Decreased symptoms from urinary tract infections
- Reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetics
Tomatoes are also a good source of potassium, folic acid, vitamins A, C, E, K and B6 as well as thiamin, niacin, magnesium, phosphorous and copper. The benefits of these nutrients are numerous and include stronger bones and the ability for them to repair themselves after being damaged, improving vision, prevention of night blindness, reduction in the risk of macular degeneration, prevention of kidney and gall stones, a decrease in inflammation and allergic reactions and a boost in weight loss hormones. As if that wasn't enough, tomatoes are also low in sodium, saturated fat, cholesterol and calories.

IRVING, Texas - Senior Dennis Aliotta and sophomore Kathryn Warner have been named to the 2012 Conference USA Track and Field All-Academic Team, according to announcement Wednesday by the league. The selections mark not only the first of their careers, but also the program's initial honorees.
Due to ties, there were 12 men and 12 women, instead of the usual 11, voted onto the teams by the league's track and field sports information directors.
Aliotta owns a cumulative 3.417 GPA as a sports studies major, is a member of East Carolina's Honor Roll and earned United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Academic All-America status during the 2010-11 school year.
The Staten Island, N.Y., native was awarded the Performance of the Meet at the 2012 Conference USA Outdoor Championships after he recorded a league championship record and gold medal performance in the shot put with a toss of 19.39 meters. Overall, he won six gold medals in the hammer throw and shot put during the 2012 indoor and outdoor seasons.
Aliotta finished fourth in the shot put at the NCAA East Preliminary to earn a berth in this week's NCAA Outdoor Championships at Drake Stadium. He will compete Saturday, June 9, beginning at 11:00 a.m.
Warner leads the women's squad with a 3.806 GPA in marketing. She has landed on two league Commissioner's Honor Rolls and one ECU Chancellor's List.

Kristy McNichol of Empty Nest: I'm Gay
Twenty years after leaving Hollywood behind, Kristy McNichol is returning to the spotlight to reveal a big secret.
She's gay.
The former "Family" star is publicly coming out in hopes of inspiring youth who feel they cannot do the same.
McNichol is "very sad about kids being bullied," says her rep.
He adds, "She hopes that coming out can help kids who need support. She would like to help others who feel different."
McNichol, also remembered for her role on the sitcom "Empty Nest," has quietly been living with her partner of 20 years, Martie Allen.
Despite the Emmy winner's decision to reveal her sexual orientation, her publicist says the "happy and healthy" star prefers "living a very private life."
McNichol herself tells People, it was finally time "be open about who I am."

Multiecho echo-planar imaging (EPI) was implemented for blood-oxygenation-level-dependent functional MRI at 1.5 T and compared to single-echo EPI with and without parallel imaging acceleration. A time-normalized breath-hold task using a block design functional MRI protocol was carried out in combination with up to four echo trains per excitation and parallel imaging acceleration factors R = 1-3. Experiments were conducted in five human subjects, each scanned in three sessions. Across all reduction factors, both signal-to-fluctuation-noise ratio and the total number of activated voxels were significantly lower using a single-echo EPI pulse sequence compared with the multiecho approach. Signal-to-fluctuation-noise ratio and total number of activated voxels were also considerably reduced for nonaccelerated conventional single-echo EPI when compared to three-echo measurements with R = 2. Parallel imaging accelerated multiecho EPI reduced geometric distortions and signal dropout, while it increased blood-oxygenation-level-dependent signal sensitivity all over the brain, particularly in regions with short underlying T*(2). Thus, the presented method showed multiple advantages over conventional single-echo EPI for standard blood-oxygenation-level-dependent functional MRI experiments.

This kid scared me Wednesday night.
Ivan Redkach, as he was strafing Tebor Brosch in the corner at the Roseland Ballroom on a Lou DiBella boxing card, put bad thoughts into my head.
I feared for Brosch, and tried to communicate telepathetically to the ref Shada Murdaugh to emply a quick hook. He pulled the plug on the bout, at 2:07 of round one, thankfully for Brosch, who got to keep a bucket a brain cells that the 26 year-old Ukrainian-born California resident was going to continue to pound out of him.
One knucklehead guy on press row, a writer I presume, had a mercilessly moronic response to me when I said I liked the timing of the stoppage; he said that it came too soon. I have to presume he has never been punched, in anger or otherwise, or hasn't been to many bouts, and never seen the scene when a guy looks lifeless on the canvas, and the crowd holds its collective breathe until he stirs, or Brosch owes him money, because he took the cake for cluelessness on Wednesday evening.
Back to Redkach, who is promoted by Dibella, and just might be the most promising guy on his extensive roster. After his bout, I scrammed from my seat and tracked him down, because I needed to know more about him. He had lit my interest, inserted himself with violent force on my must watch list.
I asked him if his power scared him, made him consider the long-term damage he could do to some.
"Let the opponent be scared of my power," he said. "I'm not scared of my power."
Check out this video I took of the southpaw lightweight, who rose to 12-0, with 11 KOs in NYC.
Dont be scared, you will be just fine. danger,damage,risks, and overcoming pain is what makes boxing special.
brosh was brought in from canada and paid to be knocked out, wait until ivan fights a live guy or decent prospect, he might get the same treatment.. as far as people wanting to see blood,yes some people like to see vicious knockouts and watch guys get put out, boxing is a blood sport,legalized assault. mercy doesnt really co exist with boxing. the clown press row guy is probably like many guys that write boxing on the internet they dont know crap.why dont you guys do a charity boxing event with 22 0z gloves and 3- 1 min rounds. the writers might get a whole new way of thinking before they rip on fighters.most guys would crap themselves before they got in the ring.the press row boxing championships. bruce silverglade at gleasons says its a great idea. you should telecommunicate with sweet lou dibella about promoting brain damaged jermaine taylor again after he was ruined in multiple fights.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Director James Cameron says that the two much anticipated "Avatar" sequels could be shot at a higher frame rate than expected. The industry standard has been 24 frames per second for decades. The upcoming "The Hobbit" prequels are being shot at double the rate - 48 frames per second.
Now, Cameron tells The Hollywood Reporter that he's weighing the possibility of shooting 60 frames per second and the impact it will have on his job, audiences and exhibitors - "I think it is such an affinitive answer. But other people may choose 48 for other reasons. The 3D shows you a window into reality; the higher frame rate takes the glass out of the window. The reason I went down that path is because I believe it makes for better 3D. There were lots of arguments for why 48 and why 60."
He continues, "My feeling is if it is a software upgrade (for digital cinema projectors), do both. It doesn't change anything at the projector; you don't have to change the lamp house or the lenses. If you are uploading software you can upload it for 48 and 60 and let the filmmakers decide. If the exhibitors will adopt the idea of a dual standard, than I'll probably want to shoot 60. If they don't, then I will have to look very carefully at the pros and cons of 60 and 48."
Meanwhile, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide is joining forces with Cameron and Fox Filmed Entertainment to "bring the world of 'Avatar' to life at Disney parks" according to a press release via Business Wire.
Disney will partner with Cameron and producer Jon Landau to create themed lands that will give theme park guests the opportunity to explore the mysterious universe of "Avatar" first hand. The first themed land will be built at Walt Disney World, within the Animal Kingdom park. Construction is expected to begin by 2013.
The agreement announced today gives Disney exclusive global theme park rights to the franchise and provides for additional "Avatar" themed lands at other Disney parks. Cameron, Landau and their Lightstorm Entertainment group will serve as creative consultants on the projects and will partner with Walt Disney Imagineering in the design and development of the themed lands.
The "Avatar" sequels are currently scheduled for a late 2014 and 2015 release.

Peer review under the microscope
09 September 2009
One of the largest ever international surveys of authors and reviewers has reiterated concerns over integrity, demand and quality control in peer review and highlighted the system's inability to effectively detect plagiarism.
The Peer Review Survey 2009, conducted by UK organisation Sense About Science, collated responses from over 4000 reviewers and authors worldwide and explored the motivations behind reviewing and their opinions of the system.
Peer review results in 1.3 million learned articles being published every year
Some researchers worry that the integrity of peer review is under threat from high demand and low quality control. Although the peer review community is growing rapidly with the global research community, over half of the participants in the survey were based in North America or Western Europe, suggesting their persisting influence over developing countries.
The survey found that respondents were divided over potential incentives for taking part in peer review. Over half felt payment in kind (e.g. journal subscription, waiver of their own publishing costs) would make them more likely to review, 41 per cent said cash payment would be their preferred reward (though this drops to 2.5 per cent if the author has to cover the cost), while 39 per cent favoured published acknowledgement in return for their services.
A further finding was that although reviewers see detecting plagiarism as a noble aim, it is not practical within the current peer review framework. Alice Tuff, development manager at Sense About Science, said: 'The vast majority of authors and reviewers think peer review should detect plagiarism (81 per cent) but only a minority (38 per cent) think it is capable. The academic time involved in detecting plagiarism through peer review would cause the system to grind to a halt.' Publishing house Elsevier, which helped fund the research, is now developing electronic plagiarism tools in partnership with journal editors to address this matter.
'The survey has raised many issues for publishers,' says Tuff. 'In general, reviewers feel that peer review is a good system but many aspects could be improved, for example providing better guidance and training.' The majority of researchers who completed the survey felt that formal training for peer reviewers should be introduced.
While there are undeniable gripes about the peer review system in its current form, no viable alternatives have yet presented themselves that could drastically improve the way research papers are reviewed and published - a fact echoed by the reviewers who took part in the survey.
Many of the findings from the survey can also be applied to grant peer review. Training, for example, is one of the many areas for improvement identified by the Engineering and physical sciences research council's Peer Review Survey published in February 2009, and it is likely to be addressed in its ongoing review of peer review.
The full findings of the Sense about Science Peer Review Survey are due to be published in November 2009 and will identify trends in specific scientific communities.

10 Steps to Job Search Success
Students who successfully complete post-baccalaureate searches follow a series of strategic actions. Those who set clear and realistic goals; who articulate objectives in effective ways, and who are assertive and communicative, willing to act strategically and interact with others do succeed. Internship and job search success involves following the steps below and seeking assistance and support of others, especially the guidance of Career Center professionals! They are trained to coach you step by step.
1. SET AND ARTICULATE GOALS. Know and say what you want to do next! You do not have to set and state lifelong goals, but you should express immediate and short-term options to implement action plans. And, you can have multiple and varied goals. pResearch (research before job search or graduate school search) is the key to goal setting! Don't fear focus. Research, articulate, and then take behavioral action steps towards goals. Clear goals are expressed using field, function and firm descriptions for internships or post commencement jobs. A number of websites provide information, and facilitate self-assessment and exploration required of goal setting. Of course, Career Center counselors are prepared to guide you through this critical stage. Call or visit the office to schedule an appointment. We encourage you investigate the following page dedicated to exploring academic/professional interests and career fields. Monster.com offers some helpful self-assessment tools. Other helpful sites include Vault.com and…..
2. DEVELOP DOCUMENTATION. Draft, finalize, then use resumes, cover letters, follow up correspondence, applications, recommendations, portfolios and other materials which project goals and qualifications. We do strongly recommend the UofResume format for oUR students. This "targeted" variation on the HBS Resume best presents your background and goals, as well as academic, experiential and co-curricular assets. While some may question whether it is strategically sound to have resumes share common visual qualities, the success of students who use the UofResume reveals that this style is truly effective. Having a Career Center counselor critique your documents is the best way for these professionals assess and facilitate goal setting and strategy implementation, while they enhance documents needed for success. Copies of sample resumes and cover letters are available via …. To have your resume or cover letter critiqued schedule an appointment, and send a copy of your draft as an MSWord.doc to your counselor. Counselors will review documents, identify where you are in the ten-step process, and facilitate your progress to next steps. And, targeted resumes that reflect goals are truly best!
3. IDENTIFY A "HIT LIST" OF POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS, GRADUATE PROGRAMS, FELLOWSHIPS AND OTHER OPPORTUNITIES. Use printed and on-line resources to develop a list of persons, places, organizations and schools to contact. The three Ps of job search include Postings, Places, and People. Comprehensive efforts include communication with all three. This step involves identification of places, organizations where you wish to intern or work. Utilize Handshake, CareerShift, Vault.com, general job posting websites, as well as printed resources available in the Career Center's Goldberg Library to begin this process. All students are strongly encouraged to regularly update their Handshake profile, and to upload various targeted resumes to the Handshake system and to publish resumes in field specific resume books. Career Center counselors can teach you how to accomplish these efforts. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to complete this step without clear goals, so you might have to return to the first step before you complete this one.
4. ESTABLISH AND USE A "NETWORK." Remember, the three Ps are Postings, Places and People. Networking is the "people focused" step. It involves identifying and contacting friends, family members, faculty, and, most importantly, Rochester alumni(ae) who might offer consideration, referrals, and advice. Networking is a critical part of pResearch (research before internship and job search) as well as post-baccalaureate employment and internship search efforts. Also, "internetworking" now means using the www for varied activities. Networking is done to explore career options and set goals (via "information conversations" or "shadowing experiences"), and to conduct active internship and job search efforts. Know your goals and act accordingly, honestly seeking information when establishing goals, and consideration and referrals when seeking a job. Be sure to make use of the Career Advisory Network, located in the Career Center's Goldman Library. Resources such as CareerShift and LinkedIn (For a how-to-use LinkedIn handout, click here) are amazing tools. Please discuss with a Career Center Counselor how to maximize your effectiveness and appropriately use these powerful web resources. Strategic and goal-focused networking can be extremely effective, but over-generalized and "shot gun" approaches can diminish your potential for success.
5. RESPOND TO POSTED AND PUBLICIZED OPPORTUNITIES. While the first of our three Ps is "postings," you cannot limit your efforts to these efforts. But, you must maximize your potential to be successful using this approach. Locate and use job postings, printed and electronic want ads, employment agencies, job fairs, as well as on-campus recruiting and resume collections. Don't depend on postings, including those on Handshake, our www-driven resources, but how you respond will impact success! Be effective implementing proactive and reactive efforts. Again, do have a Career Center counselor critique documents used when responding to postings, and allow this person to coach you step-by-step through reactive and proactive efforts. And, do refer to URL for posting sites and Career Center publications to identify general as well as field specific posting sites.
6. CALL FIRST, THEN FAX OR E-MAIL AND, FINALLY, MAIL RESUMES, COVER LETTERS, AND SUPPORTING MATERIALS TO POSTINGS, PLACES, AND PEOPLE; AS WELL AS PROGRAMS (TEACH FOR AMERICA, UNIVERSITY OF DREAMS, CITY YEAR, etc. ) ON YOUR HIT LIST AND IN YOUR SUPPORT NETWORK. Contact as many places and inform as many people as possible, as often as possible, about your goals. Seek consideration, referrals, and support regularly, and often. Take first steps, and then keep the flow of communications persistent, yet appropriate. Attach a resume to initial correspondence as well as follow up e-mail or fax notes. Work effectively by phone, e-mail, or in person with all involved in your efforts; particularly with you Career Center professional.
7. FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP. Communicate with potential employers, internship sites, and network members by fax and e-mail, or by phone. Career Center counselors are trained to inspire appropriate and effective follow up actions. They are effective "job search coaches," who can motivate you step by step towards success. Follow up is often the most critical, yet too often the most forgotten of the ten steps.
8. INTERVIEW. Communicate motivations and, most importantly, qualifications by phone and in-person. Always prepare prior to these special "conversations with a purpose." Again, Career Center counselors are prepared to coach you through this critical stage; ideally, in person via appointments and role-play interviews. Do communicate with them regarding general interview advice, and strategies specific to your circumstances. See our Interviewing site for sample interview questions and tips are available for downloading in a pdf format. You can also investigate wetfeet.com or vault.com for additional interviewing information.
9. TAKE CLASSES, VOLUNTEER, OBTAIN INTERNSHIPS OR PART-TIME JOBS. Successful post-baccalaureate job seekers and internship candidates continue skills building by taking classes in goal-related areas or by finding part-time paid or volunteer experiences. Each experience will enhance your chances of obtaining your goals. This is often the most effective step, yet least taken. One course or two or three could become your springboard to success, as can a post-baccalaureate internship. Check your local area colleges and universities for courses of interest! Discuss the idea of a "post baccalaureate internship" and a "one course at a time" strategy with a Career Center counselor. For some candidates, and some fields, these are most effective and logical goals.
10. RECEIVE OFFERS AND ACCEPT ONE. Conduct post-offer analysis after you have received employment or graduate program admissions offers. Don't delay earlier undertakings while prematurely trying to make hypothetical "what if" decisions. Career Center Counselors are trained to assist you with this last step as well. Please share your circumstances and ask for personalized assistance. Remember that Career Center Counselors can help you with the salary negotiation and offer process. To begin investigating this topic, check websites like: salary.com, The Salary Calculator, Monster Salary Center and vault.com. And, never accept and then later renege on an offer. You can, and should, ask for the appropriate amount of time to collect information and make this very important decision.

Worms: Open Warfare 2 (DS) review
"Even though there's an effective tutorial at the onset of the game (which you can skip if you're so inclined), getting a handle on the destructive implements available can prove difficult. Options like the flaming fist that lets you knock your opponents backward with a cry of Shoryuken! are cool and have predictable results, but more standard fare like the bazooka definitely doesn't."

Who says healthy food can't taste good? Many people think that the road to health means they have to give up everything that satisfies their taste buds. Well, that is hardly the case. For your consideration, we present the organic beef quesadilla.
Now, before you go haywire at the notion of beef, remember that beef is not a bad thing. Low quality, hormone-ridden ground beef is bad for you; but buying grass-fed organic beef provides your body with quality protein and nutrients. Dieting for health and performance is not about starving yourself of good food and eating protein bars all day – rather, it's more or less getting rid of all the processed garbage that's clogging up your kitchen pantry.
Now that we have that out of the way, here's a quick step by step process for making a great tasting quesadilla:
Here's what you'll need:
- 2 Brown Rice tortillas*
- 6 oz cooked grass fed organic beef
- 1/2 cup sliced raw cheese
- ½ cup diced organic grape tomatoes
- ½ cup diced organic broccoli
- 1 organic avocado
- 1/4 tsp celtic sea salt
- 1-2 slices organic lime
- 1 quarter small organic onion (chopped into bits)
- 1 tbsp organic butter
* You can buy these from a Whole Foods or other health store. They should be tortillas with the ingredients of brown rice and brown rice only
1. After you've chopped up all your vegetables, melt half of the butter in a pan
2. Once the butter is melted, place one tortilla in the pan and fry it until it gets light brown
3. Remove tortilla and then place the remaining butter in the pan. Once again, let it melt
4. Place the other tortilla in the pan. Evenly spread the beef (it should already be cooked prior), cheese, tomatoes, and broccoli on the tortilla
5. Place the other tortilla back in the pan and let it cook until cheese is melted and then remove from pan
6. Mash an avocado in a bowl. Once mashed up, add salt, onion, and then squeeze the lime juice with the avocado. Mix contents together for your own guacamole.
7. Cut into six pieces, spread guacamole on top, and enjoy!
Here's the macronutrient breakdown for one slice (one sixth) of the quesadilla:
- 153 calories
- 6 grams of fat
- 13 grams of carbohydrate
- 12 grams of protein
- 1 gram of fiber

Mildred Davis Movies and Career Information
Feb 22, 1901
Mildred Hillary Davis (February 22, 1901 – August 18, 1969) was an American actress who appeared in many of Harold Lloyd's classic silent comedies and eventually became his wife. Davis was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and educated at the "Friends School" there. After several years spent studying, she traveled to Los Angeles in the hopes of securing a role in a film. After appearing in several small roles, she caught the attention of Hal Roach, who pointed her out to comedian Harold Lloyd. Lloyd was looking for a leading lady to replace Bebe Daniels, and cast Davis in his comedy short From Hand to Mouth in 1919. It would be the first of fifteen films they would star in together. On Saturday, February 10, 1923, she married Harold Lloyd. After their marriage Lloyd announced that Davis would not appear in any more motion pictures. After much persuasion on Davis' part she received Lloyd's consent for her return to the screen in Too Many Crooks, which Lloyd produced through his production company. Her brother was actor Jack Davis of Our Gang, and later a prominent Beverly Hills physician. She and Harold Lloyd had three children including Harold Lloyd, Jr. Davis was very active in

BM : I'm sorry… (big grin). I want to express my deepest condolences.
Bawang Putih gathers the fish bones and bury them in a small grave underneath a tree. When she visits the grave the next day, she is surprised to see that a beautiful swing has appeared from one of the tree's branches. When she sits in the swing and sings an old lullaby, it magically swings back and forth. she continues to visit the magic swing whenever she can. One day, while she was is on the magic swing, a Prince who is hunting nearby hears her song. The Prince is overjoyed and asks Bawang Putih to marry him. She agrees.
BM : Now you're the princess.

BP : Thanks, I'll miss you if I live in the castle.
BM : I'll be miss you more .
BP : Therefore, would you and mother live with me?
BM : In the castle? But… We can't be allowed by.
BP : My sis… Everybody want to live happily with their family. Why I can't do that too?
BM : The King won't be like it. Beside that… I'm sure that I have been being so bad to you.
BP : You're still my sister.
BM : I'm too contemptible to accept your kindness.
BP : Don't be like that…I just want to spend my days with both of my family… And forget all that past
BM : You completely forgive me?
BP : You are forgiven.
BM : Thanks my lovely sis! (crying)
Then, they live happily ever after in the castle.

Korver Preseason Interview | WBB Ticket Info
Angel Gray catches up with freshman guard Kari Korver to find out about her expectations for the upcoming 2012-13 season, preseason workouts, her high school injury, the incoming freshmen class, the Korver family shooting gene and then Korver delivers a special message to UCLA women's basketball fans.
Korver was ranked the No. 98 player in the nation and the No. 37 guard by ESPN HoopGurlz in 2011. She averaged 25.3 points, 3.7 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game as a junior in 2011 at Valley Christian High School. She missed her senior year of high school with an injury. She scored at least 30 points in seven games in 2011, with a high of 39 points against Maranatha High. Korver totaled 37 points against Eastside High, including 11 three-pointers. She converted at least five three-point shots in 13 games as a junior. Korver comes from a basketball pedigree. Her cousin is Kyle Korver, an eight-year pro in the NBA and current member of the Atlanta Hawks.
In addition to kicking off the Pac-12 women's basketball television slate when they host Notre Dame on Nov. 23, the UCLA Bruins will be making a total of 11 television appearances during the 2012-13 regular season and have the opportunity for a 12th game in a wildcard spot in the regular-season finale at Arizona on Mar. 3, 2013. That is up from four televised games a year ago.
The UCLA Bruins host Westmont in an exhibition contest in the Wooden Center on Nov. 5 and then officially open the 2012-13 season with San Diego State in Pauley Pavilion on Nov. 10, 2012. Both games are slated to tip at 7:00 p.m.

Say I have an ESXi (5.0) host that runs a Linux distribution which hosts iSCSI targets, which contain the images for other VMs which the host will run. When it's used, I'll start the host first, then the iSCSI server, and then refresh all storage targets/HBAs in order to see the provided shares as online. I know it's a strange puzzle-box solution, but I was told to implement it.
The ESXi host itself has a gigabit NIC which connects to the outside world. The guest OS (CentOS) supports VMXNet3, however, and if I can, I'd like to use its VMXNET3 NIC to host iSCSI for the ESXi host. How should I go about doing this?
I went to create a new virtual network, and selected "VKernel", as it suggested that I use that type of network for SAN traffic, but it is apparently not set up for "self-hosted" SAN hosts, as the new network did not appear as an option to attach the CentOS box's VMXNET3 NIC to.
How should I best connect an iSCSI host out to its "parent" ESXi host, if I need a) a 10gb connection, and (optionally) b) a VMKernel network for it?

I'm writing my thesis based on
documentclass{report}. It uses my own style (some other information about it here), and everything works just fine.
Now, according to my University requirements, I should include ---as appendix--- in my dissertation the papers I wrote while doing it. These papers are also written in LaTeX, but they are written using the
documentclass{IEEEtran}, which, of course, uses its own IEEE style depending if it is an article or conference proceedings.
My question is, can I used any of the packages mentioned here to include the code of my papers in my thesis? Is it going to be any problem with the
hyperrref package or any other for that matter?

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie EverEaten by Elizabeth Halen at 5:43 PM
Three of my good friends,Mindy, Jamie and Marissa (picture below), participated in the 3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer this weekend.
I wanted to make them some treats to have along the way and to keep up their energy. Jamie is a picky eater, but everyone loves chocolate chip cookies, so kept it simple and made the very best chocolate chip cookie for my friends.
The recipe is simple, you mix the ingredients, chill for an hour and spoon on to sheets.
1 stick of butter, softened,
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips
You don't even need an electric mixer to do this, I just made sure my butter was very soft before I started and just used a wooden spoon. Cream the butter with the sugars, add the egg and vanilla and stir, don't overmix it. Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the wet. Stir till just combined and fold in the chocolate chips. I would normally put nuts in them, but I know nuts aren't everyone's thing, so I left them really classic; sans nuts.
At 350 degrees, it took about 8 minutes to bake a single silicon mat lined tray of 12 cookies. Let them sit on the sheet for a minute and carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool.
This recipe produces a sort of flat, but deliciously chewy and buttery sweet transport for the rich chocolate chips. Makes about 3 dozen.

- Elizabeth Anne said...3:29 PMThese look just like the chocolate cookies a family friend would make for us. When I was younger, she would wink and say "You just can't wait to have one, can you?" Sounds perverse, but she was sweet.
- donal.h said...8:43 AMI love chocolate chip cookies! But, then you know that. Those look darn tastey though.
- Mel said...3:03 PMThose look incredible! I'll have to try them out soon, perhaps even right now.

A new device, the "ARMagLock," will render an AR-15 so-equipped legal in even states like California, Connecticut, New York (and soon, perhaps, Rhode Island) that forbid the sale of so-called "assault weapons" (an ever-expanding category of firearms) in these states. It would do this by virtue of the fact that with the device installed, the firearm no longer has a detachable magazine, because the magazine release button is disabled.
This is not to be confused with the "bullet button" and similar devices, first discussed in this column here, with follow-ups here (this one by National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea), here and here. A new California law, effective this coming fall, closes the "bullet button loophole" (and yes--that's how panicked "Authorized Journalists" and control-freak politicians referred to the fact that one could once legally reload an AR-15 by pressing a simple tool (like an unfired cartridge) into the recess where the magazine release button would normally be on an AR-15 in a free state.
Now, a magazine will be considered "detachable," even if its detachment requires a tool, unless disassembly of the firearm's action is required. From AmmoLand.com:
The ARMagLock turns your firearm into a "fixed magazine" firearm that can not release the magazine unless you pull the takedown pin, and separate the upper and lower receivers, thus "disassembling" the firearm action. Once the receivers are minimally separated, the ARMagLock can be engaged to release the magazine.
The attached sidebar video is mostly about installation of the device, but at the end shows how it functions.
Within the gun rights advocacy community, this device will likely get a mixed reception. It does seem to be an answer for keeping an AR-15 legal, even in a state requiring fixed magazines, but still provide for a much quicker reload than can be executed by opening the action and feeding rounds into the magazine one at a time.
On the other hand, it is also a slower and more awkward reload than could be accomplished with the "bullet button" (let alone a normal, unencumbered AR-15 with a standard magazine release), and Mr. Codrea was certainly not alone in his opinion that the use of even those meant that "California gun owners have already bent over to such ridiculous lengths that they tolerate insults like 'bullet buttons.'"
Likewise, Herschel Smith, writing for his justifiably widely-respected Captain's Journal blog called the "SAFE Act" compliant AR-15 gun stock an "AR-15 Abomination," an assessment with which Mike Vanderboegh, of Sipsey Street Irregulars, agreed.
And that position is certainly not without merit. Every instance of gun owners meekly accepting new requirements to make their firearms less effective is a tacit surrender of the concept of shall not be infringed. Do we have a line in the sand, or don't we--and if we do, are we to defend that line with popguns?
There is an alternative view, though. Every time a new innovation saves guns from being banned under newly restrictive laws intended to do just that, while still preserving at least some of those guns' utility in conflict, the gun ban zealots shriek in frustration about the new "loophole." Seen in that light, these adaptations look less like surrender, and more like a different kind of defiance. There can be little doubt that if California state senators like Leland Yee and Kevin de León know of the ARMagLock yet, they are already apoplectic about it.
There is perhaps a compromise to be found here for people living under such laws. Defy those laws, obtain the "illegal" guns--even if you have to make them yourself in order to do so. Don't register them (obviously)--perhaps even convert the registration forms into atmospheric carbon, just to get the "progressives" still more hot under the collar. But also maintain at least one "legal" AR-15, even if doing so requires odd gadgetry like the ARMagLock and the "SAFE Act"-compliant stock--just to let the other side know that however many gun ban laws they come up with, they're still being outsmarted, and people are still buying AR-15s (which can, after all, be quickly converted to full capability).

Official development of the R-36 began with a decree on 16 April 1962. This called for development of a heavy rocket that could act as an ICBM, a FOBS 'global rocket', and a medium launch vehicle. The targets for the R-36 would be key American administrative and military-industrial centres, hardened military targets, and anti-ballistic missile facilities. The decree ordered development of three alternative launch facility designs: a hardened, above-ground launch facility like the R-9 Dolina; a silo group like the R-16 Sheksna-V; and a new isolated silo concept, with the silos operated from an individual hardened launch facility being sepearated by a dozen kilometres.
Yangel's approach was to develop an improved version of his existing R-16 ICBM. Just as in America the Titan 1 had been redesigned into the constant-diameter Titan 2 with a more powerful upper stage, the same concept was applied to the R-16. The missile could still use the basic silo designed for the R-16. However unlike the R-16, this would be the first Soviet missile to use nitrogen tetroxide oxidiser.
The R-36 was to join the UR-100 as the first 'ampulised' Soviet missiles. This means that the missile was loaded into the silo in its container, fuelled, and then was ready-to-launch at any time as a certified 'sealed round'. This was in contrast to earlier Soviet missiles. The R-1, R-2, and R-5 could only be held at launch readiness for 30 minutes, the R-9A for 24 hours, and the storable propellant R-12, R-14, and R-16 for thirty days. The new generation was to have a certified ready-to-launch guaranteed span of five years. The containerised missile would be transported by rail to the silo, inserted, fuelled, and then left completely unattended. The silos were to be isolated from one another by 8 to 10 km so that a single nuclear warhead could take out no more than one silo at a time.
The guidance system was to be inertial with radio update for higher accuracy. Although flight tests were made with this system, by the time the missile was deployed the pure inertial system had proved to have sufficient accuracy and the radio correction was abandoned.
The draft project was completed in June 1963, and that of the new 8F675 warhead (18 and 25 megaton versions) on 12 January 1964. By then the decision had been made to pursue only the isolated silo launch concept, in order to prevent multiple launchers being taken out by a single enemy warhead. For flight trials from Baikonur substantial new facilities designed by V P Petrov at KBTM were started in 1962 and completed in February 1963. Missiles were prepared at Area 4, then launched from a pad at LC-67, with the radio guidance system being at Area 68. These used the 8P867 launch pad, 8U225 launch gantry, and 8T178 missile transport trailer. The designs for these facilities were derived from those for the Tsiklon space booster. Countdown was automated and no personnel were required in the area during launch procedures. The 25th OIICh (Independent Engineering-Research Unit) was formed to conduct the flight tests.
For initial silo tests individual silos at LC-80, a Sheksna facility originally built for the R-16, were modified in 1964 to accommodate R-36 or UR-200 missiles. A prototype of the new command point and six-silo group planned for the R-36 were also built at Baikonur. The hardened command point for these silos was at Area 111, and the silos at LC's-102, -103, -109, -140, -141, and -142. Flight trial tests were conducted from these facilities from 28 September 1963 to 29 March 1966, with the first silo launch taking place on 14 January 1965. The first launch from LC-140 came on 27 April 1965. This was the first launch controlled and commanded via a 10 km long buried cable. At total of 130 trials launches were made.
In July 1965 the first R-36 was launched with the 'List' countermeasures system designed to confuse enemy anti-ballistic missile defences. This system had been developed by Aksel Berg at NII-108 (originally established on 4 July 1943 to develop radar systems). The system had several components:
Production of the R-36 and the List countermeasures system was undertaken at the Yuzhnoye YuMZ factory in Dnepropetrovsk. The first regiment became operational on 5 November 1966 at Uzhur, and the missile was formally accepted for military service on 21 July 1967. A peak total of 260 R-36's were deployed by 1970. A total of 308 missile silos for the R-36 and its follow-on versions were built at Aleisk (30), Kartaly (46), Derzhavinsk (52), Zhangiz-Tobe (52), Dombarovskiy (64), and Uzhur (64). Operational tests were conducted periodically during service, including seven firings from silos in the Uzhur field to the Kura impact area. The final R-36's were retired in 1979, their places in the silos begin replaced by later versions. The missile was shown publicly at a Moscow parade on 7 November 1967, although to create confusion the external vernier engines of the second stage were removed and a non-standard warhead was fitted. Declassified CIA reports show that American intelligence was not fooled, although Western missile 'experts' were.
In 1965 the R-36 was selected over Korolev's GR-1 and Chelomei's UR-200 for the 'Global Rocket' and military medium launch vehicle requirements (see separate R-36-O, Tsiklon-2 and Tsiklon-3 entries). An improved silo with five times the blast resistance was studied in the 1960's but not adopted due to the expense (a super-hardened silo was finally developed in the late 1970's for the next generation of missiles).
The missile structure was of AMG-6 aluminium alloy. An avionics section was located in the intertank area of the first stage. The first stage had a fixed six-nozzle Glushko RD-251 engine, with attitude and roll control by four RD-68M verniers designed by Yuzhnoye. The second stage used a two-nozzle Glushko RD-252, with four RD-69M verniers. Four small solid rocket motors fired to back the second stage away from the warhead after burnout.
Unlike the R-16, which had its launch azimuth set by a rotating launch table, the R-36 was fixed on its launcher. Therefore after clearing the silo it had to roll to the desired target azimuth. The inertial guidance system by Vladimir Sergeyev of NII-692 had a total mass of 752 kg, and was updated just before launch by an optical data link. The first five trials flights used the radio correction system of Mikhail Borisenko, but this was abandoned as unnecessary on production models.
The warheads for the missile were developed at Chelyabinsk-70, with production at Penzensk Factory 592 (later NPO Start). These included the original 18 and 25 megaton 8F675, and later 5 and 10 megaton alternate warheads. The missile had a five year guaranteed storage life, later extended to 7.5 years with in-service testing. A missile prepared for launch (with the guidance platform spun up) could be launched in five minutes from the turn of the launch key. The OS-67 silo was designed by Yevgeni F Rudyak at GSKB Spetsmash. Each silo was 41.5 m deep, 8.3 m in diameter, and had a 4.64 m diameter interior bore. The silo was hardened to an overpressure of 20 atmospheres. Six silos, separated by 8-10 km from each other, were controlled and launched from a single command point.

We can't believe we didn't know about Florence & The Machine sooner. With a crooning, bluesy style that echoes Adele or Corinne Bailey Rae, her songs are quirky, quixotic, and utterly addictive. Her latest release (okay, not so late, October '09), Lungs ($10), has ten fab songs that run the gamut from 60's-inflected pop to grrl rock [See: the contrast between the sultry, lazy "Dog Days Are Over" and the kicky "Kiss With a Fist"].
Just saw her at Coachella, she rocks live too ;)

Heart Diagnosis
Ogallala Community Hospital offers a number of diagnostic heart tests which help physicians determine an accurate diagnosis. These tests include:
- Adenosine/Lexiscan Stress Test
- Echocardiography
- Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG)
- Treadmill Stress Testing
The non-invasive tests are conveniently located in the hospital. Ogallala staff will provide specific instruction at the time of scheduling and direction and assistance during the tests. Results are then interpreted and sent to your physician who will discuss the findings with you.
Adenosine or Lexiscan Stress Test with Nuclear Imaging
This test evaluates the blood supply to the heart muscle. Patients will receive a dose of a radioisotope through an IV and, after waiting for about 30-45 minutes, will have a nuclear medicine scan. After the scan, patients will be taken to the stress lab, electrodes will be placed on the chest to record an electrocardiogram (ECG), and a blood pressure cuff will be placed on the arm to monitor blood pressure. Patients are given a medication that dilates the arteries in the heart, increasing the blood flow.
During an echocardiogram, also called an echo, a technician uses a painless technique to send sound waves into the patient's chest. This produces a moving picture of the heart and heart valves.
Electrocardiography (ECG)
Also called EKG, an electrocardiogram measures the electrical activity in a heartbeat. Patients can be hooked to electrodes or wear a heart monitor (a small box that weighs less than one pound). The monitoring devices send signals to a technician that observes the heart rate and rhythm.
Treadmill Stress Testing
Stress/exercise testing involves studying the heart while under maximum cardiac stress. It allows a technician to measure the heart's efficiency when subjected to predetermined exercise or cardiac medications. Patients may walk on a treadmill or lie still under a camera depending on how the physician wants to see their heart function.

Flash Review 2, 4-16: "Transported"
Ballard's Banal Holocaust Dance
By Karinne Keithley
Copyright 2001 Karinne Keithley
"Transported," presented this weekend
by Rae Ballard at Joyce SoHo, was an evening-length dance and theater piece inspired
by the Holocaust diaries of Etty Hillesum. Using a chronological sequence of Hillesum's
writings, the piece traced the trajectory of her life from Amsterdam to Auschwitz,
where she died. Though clearly heartfelt and addressed with a sober respect, "Transported"
did not achieve an impact commensurate with the gravity of its subject. Occasionally
elegant but more often simplistically literal, the quiet restraint of the choreography
and staging undermined the affect of the work, making the events seem more dreary
than horrifying.
But okay, how do you approach this
subject? I appreciate Ballard's decision to do so. Certainly Hillesum's writings
are eloquent and moving. They possess a movement towards a generous enlightenment
even within the most atrocious circumstances. The recorded reading of them was
stilted, however, detracting from their eloquence. Underneath, in the unforgiving
white box of Joyce Soho, the literal depictions of events described on tape further
dissipated the writing's force.
Dance rarely shows simple facts and
events better than a verbal description or physical re-enactment, but it excels
as a descriptive medium with different aims. Dance could spar with Heidegger any
day and claim (at least in the ideal deployment) a more concise articulation of
being-in-the-world. Unfortunately, in this production the choreography was more
demonstrative than descriptive, resulting in a distancing of experience more than
a drawing-in.
Ballard does have a nice sense of
tableau, and when the images don't get lost in pantomime, they are often beautiful.
Her staging was spare and skillful, especially where crowds much larger than the
cast were implied.
I left the production thinking about
the constraints of beauty on the dance field, the expectations built into our
The cast included Ballard, Lauren
Naslund, Stefanie Nelson, Karen Johnson, Madoka Atsumi, Ryoko Kudo, Jim May, Katie
McIver, Kelly Peck and Karrie Wood. Many, including Ballard, have been or are

Tech Has Strong Showing at A&M Triangular
Tech's Kole Weldon continued his strong season Saturday with a meet record toss in the men's shot put.
Jan. 25, 2014
Complete Results | Texas Tech Results
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The Red Raiders and Lady Raiders both finished third Saturday at the highly-competitive Texas A&M Triangular meet at the Gilliam Indoor Stadium in College Station.
The Red Raiders came within 5.5 points of No. 25 LSU in second, as they finished the day with 85 points overall. The Lady Raiders, meanwhile, finished third behind No. 2 Texas A&M and No. 8 LSU with 80 points.
Texas A&M, which played host to the event, swept the men's and women's competitions.
"We got to see some of the very best competition in LSU and Texas A&M," head coach Wes Kittley said. "Our young kids keep getting more experience, and I thought we had some good things. We also have a lot of things to work on."
Tech's Cierra White, Kole Weldon and JaCorian Duffield each left their mark at the Gilliam Indoor Stadium as the trio turned in historic performances in the feverishly quick meet - which lasted less than three hours.
In a highly-anticipated women's 200-meter dash, White finished third with a career-best time of 23.53 seconds. She was edged out by fellow Bowerman Watch List candidate Kamaria Brown of Texas A&M in first with a time of 23.10. White's performance jumped her to No. 2 on the all-time Texas Tech indoor performance list and into the top-8 nationally as of the conclusion of the meet.
White also finished fifth in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.43 seconds.
In her season-debut in the 60-meter hurdles, Lady Raider Le'Tristan Pledger clocked a time of 8.26, which at the conclusion of the meet came in at No. 10 on the national indoor qualifying list. Pledger also finished third in the women's long jump with a leap of 5.75-meters (18'-9.75") to pick up a total of nine points for the Lady Raiders on the day.
In the men's field events, Weldon won the shot put and finished second in the weight throw to collect 12 points on the day for the Red Raiders. The 2013 NCAA Indoor Runner-Up broke the meet record with his throw of 18.81-meters (61'-8.50") in the shot put to win the competition by four-feet.
Meanwhile, his toss of 18.89-meters (61'-11.75") in the weight throw marked a new career-best and pushed him to No. 3 on the all-time Texas Tech performance list.
In the men's high jump, Duffield continued his strong 2014 season, collecting his second-straight victory in the event. The junior and 2013 outdoor All-American tied the meet record by clearing 2.18-meters (7'-1.75") on his third attempt. He was followed by sophomore teammate Bradley Adkins who cleared 2.15-meters (7'-0.50").
For his efforts, Duffield received an ovation from Gilliam Indoor Stadium crowd after his final attempt at a meet record height of 7-feet 3 inches. Duffield cleared a school record 2.23-meters (7'-3.75") last week at the Texas Tech Open.
Lady Raider sprinter Christen Rivers continued her strong start to the 2014 season, clocking a season-best in the 400-meter dash with a time of 53.86 - she entered the meet at No. 5 nationally in the event.
In his career-debut Derreck Edwards, a sophomore receiver on the Red Raider football team, finished second in the men's triple jump with a leap of 14.69-meters (48'-2.50").
The Red Raider distance medley relay squad, comprised of Nick Rivera, Tramaine Maloney, Ramon Rueda and Ezekiel Kissorio, clocked a season-best time of 10:10.49 to win the event and collect seven points.
Early in Saturday's competition Tech's Sharlene Nickle turned in a strong performance in the women's mile, finishing second with a time of 4:54.69 - marking the best time in the event by a Lady Raider this season. She was followed by teammate Jocelyn Caro in sixth who clocked a season-best of 5:00.53, which shaved 12 seconds off her time from last week.
Sophomore Nick Rivera followed with a career-best performance in the men's mile run finishing second overall with a career-best time of 4:09.05 - marking the best performance by a Red Raider this season in the event. He was followed by teammate Ezekiel Kissorio in fourth as he clocked a 4:13.74. With the two efforts, the Red Raiders picked up eight team points in the event.
Two Red Raiders clocked career-best times in the 200-meter dash as Treyvion Johnson finished sixth in 21.74 seconds and teammate Darien Tennon followed in eighth with a time of 22.21 seconds.
Texas Tech went 2-3-4 in the women's pole vault as Haley Cook and Blake Wood each improved their jumps from last week. Cook finished second clearing a season-best 3.78-meters (12'-4.75"), while Wood followed in third clearing 3.63-meters (11'-10.75"). Reece Timmons, who won the Texas Tech Open last week, finished fourth clearing 3.48-meters (11'-5.00").
Tech picked up nine points in the event.
In the women's high jump, Tech junior Michaela Palu cleared an indoor career-best 1.68-meters (5'-6.00") to finish second.
Marcos Vallejo finished fifth in the men's 3,000-meter run with a time of 8:33.32 - the best by a Red Raider in the event this season. He was followed by Jonathon Lira in sixth (8:33.36), Brendan Devlin in 10th (8:44.77) and Seraiah Pineda in 13th (8:55.71) who each recorded career-best times.
Madeline Livergood finished third in the women's 3,000-meter run with a career-best time of 10:24.90 - the best by a Lady Raider on the season in the event.
Texas Tech returns home to compete in the two-day Masked Rider Open set to begin Jan. 31 inside the Athletic Training Center.
