Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Good Start Genetics completed an $18 million Series A financing. The proceeds will be used to complete development and launch of the company's prepregnancy genetic test. Additionally, Don Hardison, former COO of LabCorp and CEO of Exact Sciences, has been appointed president, CEO, and director of the company.
Good Start Genetics says that its DNA sequencing technology is designed to deliver a higher detection rate and improved clinical performance compared to currently available screening methods such as genotyping and SNP analysis. It can quickly and efficiently detect a much deeper range of potentially harmful and heritable mutations for each critical disease, according to the company.
Instead of offering its tests online or directly to consumers, the firm will offer its test exclusively through board-certified physicians, which it plans to begin doing in 2011. "It is our belief that the only way to make these truly important decisions is under the professional guidance of a physician, who can evaluate genetic information in the context of a patient's comprehensive medical profile," comments Hardison.
"Good Start Genetics is moving beyond the existing one-size-fits-all genetic testing paradigm because we believe that genetic information is a critical and a completely individual aspect of healthcare. Our product will allow physicians to select from a broad panel of disorders and customize their test order to meet the individual screening needs of each prospective parent." The test will look for disorders including those recommended by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American College of Medical Genetics.

Texas Tech Basketball Volunteers At Race For The Cure
October 6, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech men's and women's basketball coaches, staff and players volunteered at Race for the Cure on Saturday outside the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center, helping to fight the battle against breast cancer.
For Texas Tech women's basketball head coach Kristy Curry and her players, the cause was a little more personal this year. The Lady Raiders volunteered their early Saturday morning to brave the cold and be out in support of Tomi Calmes, a longtime Lady Raider fan who is battling breast cancer.
"I was overwhelmed at first," Calmes said. "I know I have breast cancer. But when I came out here and saw all the people who were `Team Tomi,' then I realized that I do have breast cancer but that I am a fighter and I am going to survive."
Calmes touched on what it has been like to work with the women's basketball program in coming together for Saturday's event and how amazed she has been at the support from coach Curry and her staff, who were out at Race for the Cure for her and others Saturday morning.
"We're doing this for Miss Tomi, for Kelsi Baker's mom, for Jordan Murphree's mom and there's just so many people in our program have been affected by this disease," Curry said. "We're just proud to be out this morning. You think about Play for Kay, and us participating in that during the conference portion of our season and we're just proud to be out this morning for a great cause."
And right with the women's basketball team were the Red Raider men's basketball team, dressed in their pink t-shirts and ready to high five the walkers and take pictures with everyone as they went through the race.
"It means everything to be out here today," Tech men's basketball interim head coach Chris Walker said. "We're serving a cause greater yourself. That's a big priority in our program. We want our guys to understand that giving back is very significant and they need to learn that by doing it every time that we have an opportunity."

This season's collection from Face Stockholm is stunning, but soft. Neutral brows, soft, understated foundation and a nearly nude lip are accented with a bold stroke of Precision Eyeliner. The look flatters those with pale complexions, but women with different skin intensities can pick and choose from the collection and make the look their own. There's definitely enough to captivate everyone.With a collection that is light and soft, if it feels too pale, or if your skin is too deep to handle the colors, work with the idea, and select a shade or two deeper than what I'm suggesting. Face Stockholm has so many different colors and tones, you can find one that you like and still "get the look."
The liquid mineral foundation ($36.00) that the model is wearing in the photo is the lightest of eight shades. I opted for a sample two deeper and the look wasn't changed one bit. This mineral foundation goes from super pale to medium deep. I really like this oil-free, paraben-free, mineral-based formula liquid (dispensed with a wanded spatula cap) that produced a smooth, natural matte finish. Perfect for warmer weather, when you don't want too much of a glow. You can also dust on some powder to set it even more.
Face Stockholm's looks usually seem to focus on the eyes. This look plays the eys up with lots of black Precision Eyeliner ($36.00) dispensed from a felt tip pen, and one of my new most favorite mascaras, Luxe Lash 9$32.00) which is hypoallergenic, and coats each lash with a unique precision " Lash Lift" mascara brush. Its close-cropped bristles are designed specifically to latch onto and coat each individual lash. The mascara is also enhanced with Panthenol, Vitamin E and Wheat Proteins to condition and strengthen. A Pearl Eye Shadow ($19.00) simply called "#36" adds a beautiful, shimmery taupe to lids. Dust on a light layer, or add more for more metallic intensity, or you can even layer it with ine if Face Stockholm's Matte Eye Shadows to create depth and dimension -- it's fun to play! Also part of this look is a cream eye shadow in a pot called "KRÄMÖGONSKUGGA" (yes, that is a mouthful) $24.00. It is a highly pigmented, long-wearing cream shadow that is buildable and blendable. you can wear it alone or under a powder shadow, as it is waterproof (another plus for warmer weather). "Bomull" is the color used in this look, and it's basically a bright flesh. I like it not just for creating this look, but as a base for other shadows you might want to wear. If you have uneven coloring on your lids (e.g. freckles) this particular shadow really is a cover-up as well as a lid enhancer.
The brows are also defined with tinted brow fix. For $18.00 you can get a tinted or clear that will keep your brows under control (and that's the idea with this look).
I am a personal fan of Face Stockholm powder blush (420.00) because it looks so natural and stays true to color. There are 30 shades to choose from, if the light peachy-pink "blush Worship" is too pale for your skin tone. But if you have a fair to medium complexion this beautiful, peaches and pink color is going to be your new favorite blush from now until there's nothing left in the chic, round, shiny silver compact with interior mirror,. This blush truly is a little gem.
Lips get the natural treatment with a chic, nude lipstick ($22.00) called "Toffee." that is actually a soft coral, not a toffee color (go figure)" With more that 154 shades to choose from, you can adjust the color intensity of this look to suit. The creamy lipstick gives just enough color to balance the eyes and the blush, but Face Stockholm also has matte and "veil" formulas if you prefer. Find a similar shade, and enjoy the look as you like it!
Ready to be told: " Du är vacker." (in Swedish that tanslates to "you are beautiful.") Go to your favorite Face Stockholm boutique and check out all the colors, or buy them online at http://www.facestockholm.com

Scott > im thinking of putting layers of tin foil under a few layers to reflect. > just wondering would this work, or would there be better ways. Good idea, give it a go. FWIW of all the dishes I've build in the last few months, the Flectron fabric on a $25 1.2m fibreglass umbrella frame is the lightest at 900g (2lb in the old money), closely followed by the aluminium fly-screen dish on the same frame at 950g (2lb, 2oz). The fly screen is quite a bit less wind load but does not fold down well for portablity. Works very well though. If you want any fly screen I have about a 7mx1m roll sitting here... you need about 3m x 1m to make segments for a 1.2m dish with some to spare. (For our American friends, fly screen is difficult to source in the UK). 73 Howard G6LVB ---- Via the amsat-bb mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

The best part of live theater is being asked to suspend the disbelief at the door. In two oddball musicals currently playing in Seattle, the audiences should park their disbelief at home with the babysitter. Although both shows have Disney connections, there are no princesses and no traditional happy endings. Both musicals are aimed at thinking adults but would be perfect for older teens who love science fiction or fantasy.
"Little Shop of Horrors"
ACT's Falls Theatre
Now through June 15
The ACT Theatre and 5th Ave Theatre's most recent co-production brings back the musical that launched the careers of composer Alan Mencken and lyricist Harold Ashman. Written before they started providing love songs for mermaids and beasts, this off-Broadway hit brought them to the attention of Disney with its clever lyrics and perfectly hummable tunes. But these songs also have a satirical bite that still stings some thirty years later and numbers like the bitter "Skid Row (Downtown)" sound like an anthem for the Occupy Wall Street movement.
The stage musical hews closer to the Roger Corman original horror movie than the subsequent Frank Oz film adaptation. Giving it their terrific all is a stellar cast including Jessica Skerrit as the knocked-about and knockout blonde Audrey who dreams of some place that is green. She's ably matched by Joshua Carter (Seymour), Ekello J. Harrid, Jr. (Audrey II among others), Jeff Steitzer (Mr. Mushnik), and David Anthony Lewis (too many roles to list). Three talented young ladies, Nicole Rashida Prothro, Alexandria Henderson, and Naomi Morgan provided the "doo wop" energy of the show's Greek chorus.
Come for the laugh-a-minute evening of potted space aliens and demented dentists, but leave appreciating Mencken's and Ashman's sharp dissection of the American dream.
"Ernest Shackleton Loves Me"
Seattle Repertory's Leo K. Theatre
Now through May 3
Another co-production, this show was scouted and recruited to Seattle by Balagan Theatre, with script development at ACT and design by Seattle Rep's team. The tiny Leo K stage is filled with technology for a story that's closer to magical realism than science fiction, but should appeal to fans of both. The creators plan to move this musical to New York for its own off-Broadway run after it closes in Seattle.
There's more technical wizards backstage than actors on stage, but the tiny cast of two does more than double duty in the course of this show. "Shackleton" creator Valerie Vigoda plays Kat, a sleep-deprived single mother. Her video blog sparks an unexpected online flirtation with the optimistic Ernest Shackleton as he sets out on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–17). Over the next three years of Shackleton's brutal journey, he Skypes details to Kat and eventually arrives, via her frosted-over fridge, to sweep her into the adventure. As Shackleton and all the other speaking male characters, Wade McCollum proves that a hootenanny may be just what any woman needs to lift her spirits and solider on.
Vigoda and fellow "Shackleton" songwriter Brendan Milburn also created "Toy Story: The Musical" for Disney. Joined by Tony Award winner Joe DiPietro for this show's book (script), they have honed a definitely modern musical with some memorable tunes and a nicely uplifting finale.
Vigoda's genuine musical virtuosity on the electric violin and on-stage recording gear is a huge plus in this run, although it's hard to see how the show could survive her leaving it or even having a sick day. That's something that the creators will need to figure out if they hope to see a revival some thirty years from now.

Just Released: Sweet Marioflage Hoodie
If you've been reading Geekologie for awhile, you may recall the Marioflage 1-1 hoodie we posted around this time last year. Well now Enclothe is back with a World 1-2 version. Suck it, goombas!
A natural progression from our last Marioflage hoodie. Featuring inspired 8-bit graphics and a dark underground color scheme this hoodie is sure to get you through long night gaming sessions.
The softhand 8-bit camouflage pattern begins to break apart and degrade near the top, perhaps the work of an improvised GameShark code or dust in the cartridge?
The hoodie is available now for $65. But, if that's not your cup of tea, do yourself a favor and check out some of their other designs. I rarely promote anything but I've paid some of my own hard-earned money for several of their shirts. That's right, I said hard-earned. You don't know me!

Histaminergic neurons of the hypothalamic tuberomammillary nucleus constitute a major wake-promoting system. In animals, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) histamine levels are increased during wakefulness and after sleep deprivation and decreased during sleep. An involvement of the histamine system in human disorders has not, to our knowledge, been reported. We measured hypocretin-1 and histamine levels in the lumbar CSF of 28 patients with and without excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) as assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). There were 10 patients with EDS (ESS > 10, mean ESS = 14). Diagnoses included narcolepsy (n = 4), idiopathic hypersomnia (n = 2), sleep apnoea (n = 2) and multiple sclerosis (n = 2). Three patients were treated with stimulants. Their mean CSF histamine was 258 ± 159 PM. There were 18 patients without EDS (ESS < 9, mean ESS = 5). No patients were treated with stimulants. Their mean CSF histamine was significantly higher (624 ± 481 PM, P = 0.007). There was a significant inverse correlation (r = -0.48, P = 0.02) between ESS and both CSF histamine and hypocretin-1 levels. These observations suggest that narcolepsy and EDS of other origin are associated in humans with lower CSF histamine levels and therefore with a reduced activity of the wake-promoting histaminergic neuronal system.

It was not all that long ago that anyone could tune into Detroit sports radio or have a conversation about the Detroit Tigers and some misguided fan would say it is time for the Tigers to trade Justin Verlander. Sure, he made have had a down regular season, sure by the high standards he has set for himself he has a sub par 2013. However, with the season on the line who would Tigers Nation rather turn to? For the second year in a row, on the road, JV has gone out and extended the Tigers post season.
Simply but Verlander is one of the biggest reasons, and one of the most consistent pieces, that the Tigers are playing in their third straight ALCS. In 2012 JV took the ball in game five in Oakland and pitched a complete game 4 hit shutout. He struck out 11. Last night, October 10, 2013, JV took the ball once again with his team's season on the line. All he did was throw 8 innings of 2 hit shutout ball and strike out 11. Trade Justin Verlander, what a joke.
JV's record in the ALDS is outstanding. In four series he is 4-0 with a 1.79 ERA and 60 strike outs. Amazingly enough he has given up just 26 hits in those four series. Granted his record in the ALCS and World Series needs some improvement. As everybody knows legends are made in October and a player's greatness is largely defined by what they do on the biggest stage.
In three ALCS series JV is 3-1 but is ERA is 4.32. He has given up 23 hits five of which were home runs. In the ALCS his strike out rate drops to 7.9 K/9 where it is 11.9 in the ALDS. JV has yet to win a World Series game pitching three games in two different series (2006 and 2012) of them. On the biggest stage he is 0-3 with a ERA over 7. There is still work to do there.
In he end though, Tigers fans don't need JV to be lights out in July. Especially when we consider the group of starters he played with in 2013, but they do need him to be at his best now. So far it looks like he is, but time will tell.

With integrated estimating automation, estimators know that the takeoff is accurately and instantly reflected in the bid calculations.
On-Screen Takeoff® (OST) and Quick Bid® (QB) combine to increase efficiency, reduce the time spent preparing a bid for tender, and save the company money. OST integrates with other construction estimating solutions.
Incorporating trade specific information into the estimating process establishes a best practice that benefits each project and bid proposal.
Whether the information is in metric or imperial, from the AU, NZ, US, UK or any other region, the estimator may enter custom information into a database.
On Center Software recommends a complete software solution for the estimator.
The takeoff is only half of the estimating solution. Adding a powerful pricing component, like Quick Bid, completes the solution.
Learn more about Quick Bid, and why thousands of estimators have been using it since 1988.
It is possible to combine OST with a company's current estimating/pricing program or a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for a faster and more accurate estimating and bidding process. Also, eliminate possible human error (common when entering values manually) by exporting the OST takeoff data into the estimating/pricing software.
When running On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid together as an estimating solution, quantities are updated simultaneously in OST and QB. There is no need to "push" the data because the connection is real-time.Call for a free demo:
Try our 2-part estimating software solution. On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid cut each project's bid time by more than half while producing the most accurate bids possible.

Why is apex_application.add_validation_error deleted in Apex 4.1?
I thought this was a supported API.Why? It wasn't documented. Off the map there be dragons:
Always better to seek clarification before tickling their tails:
(I'm waiting patiently...)
Re: How to create an Apex 3.1 a session context programmatically? contributes to the confusion: that kind of thing is interesting and helpful (unit test package code that references APEX collections) but you use it at your own risk, with appropriate circumspection when it comes to inclusion in production code.
In my opinion it's bad practice on Oracle's part to include private/unpublished methods in the same packages as public/published APIs. Instead of the {noformat}<tt>apex_*</tt>{noformat} APIs consisting of synonyms on {noformat}<tt>wwv_*</tt>{noformat} objects they should be wrapper packages that only expose public, documented methods—and preferably these public packages should be in their own schema. Wouldn't hurt performance too much would it? (Guess I'll have to benchmark that...)
Another question is why not all of the {noformat}<tt>wwv_*</tt>{no format} package bodies are wrapped to limit off-road exploration and subsequent exposure of undocumented methods?
3. Re: apex_application.add_validation_error deleted in Apex 4.1AdamQ Dec 19, 2011 12:56 AM (in response to fac586)Thankyou fac586. I realise I read about this API a while ago in a blog and forgot that it was an unsupported API. I withdraw my question.
Funny you link to a post by Luis Cabral as I now work with him and we use that code. :)
We often look through the spec of apex packages to see what's there and if there's something we can use instead of writing our own code. Sometimes we don't check if there is a corresponding Oracle document about it. Dangerous practice, as I have seen now.

Gold for Golden means quality is assured across "Old Speckled Hen" range
24 May, 2012
"Old Golden Hen" is celebrating a triple success for Britain's leading premium ale brand[1] after becoming the third and final member of the "Old Speckled Hen" family to win a coveted Monde Selection Award.
Launched last summer, "Old Golden Hen" is brewed to appeal to premium lager drinkers looking for more taste, as well as existing ale drinkers. This refreshing golden beer was the most successful bottled ale NPD launch for 2011, delivering 13.5% of all bottled ale NPD growth in the year, despite only being launched in August[2].
"Old Golden Hen" joins "Old Speckled Hen" and "Old Crafty Hen" as a recipient of the renowned international quality mark.
The success follows Gold and Grand Gold awards in 2010 for "Old Speckled Hen" and "Old Crafty Hen" respectively and means retailers and customers can now be assured that every one of the award-winning "Old Speckled Hen" range has been tested and approved to the highest quality standards.
Dom South, Marketing Director Greene King Brewing and Brands, said: "Quality will always be king for us. As the brewer behind the ale brand that most customers want to see on the shelf[3] it's imperative that the care and attention we put into crafting our beer translates into the perfect product our consumers expect. We are incredibly proud of the "Old Speckled Hen" range so it's great to see it recognised at the highest level."
"Old Golden Hen" is brewed using the finest pale malts and the rare Tasmanian galaxy hop, giving the beer its light golden colour, subtle tropical fruit notes and a deliciously refreshing and smooth finish. At 4.1% ABV it comes in 500ml bottles and features in all major multiples as well as most leading C&C and convenience operators.
Greene King's Abbot Ale, Britain's 7th biggest premium ale brand which is growing at 21% in value this year[4], also received a Gold Monde award.
Monde Selection tests consumer goods from all over the world before awarding bronze, silver, gold and grand gold quality labels. These can be compared to the quality stars of a hotel or those of the Michelin Guide.
Nearly 3,000 products are tested each year by a panel of more than 70 independent judges, including Michelin starred chefs, members of the French Culinary Academy, brewing engineers, university lecturers, nutrition and health consultants and chemical engineers.
The Monde Selection awards will be presented during a ceremony in Athens at the beginning of June.
Notes to eds:
- Greene King is the country's leading brewer and pub retailer with a heritage of brewing beer and running pubs which can be traced back over 200 years.
- "Old Speckled Hen" is brewed in Bury St Edmunds by Greene King Brewing and Brands
- "Old Speckled Hen" is the UK's number one premium ale brand
- Research shows it continues to be the ale brand consumers most want to see on the shelf (HPI Cardinal Brand Tracker in 2010 and 2011)
- The "Old Speckled Hen" family also includes vintage ale, "Old Crafty Hen" at 6.5% ABV.

Every makes cut in San Diego; Tiger leads
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 11:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 11:44 p.m.
SAN DIEGO — Tiger Woods didn't miss a shot during a four-hole stretch around the turn on the North Course that included a 5-iron to 5 feet for eagle and a wedge that one-hopped off the pin to set up birdie. It carried him to a 7-under 65 on Friday and gave him a two-shot lead in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.
"I feel good right now," Woods said. "I'm leading the tournament."
Woods was at 11-under 133 and had a two-shot lead over Billy Horschel, with six other players two shots behind.
Mainland product Matt Every shot 2-over 74 to drop 33 spots, just making the 143 cut. Every, who shot 3-under 69, had three birdies and five bogeys.
New Smyrna Beach's Robert Streb shot 2-over 74 to finish at 145. Streb had two birdies, two bogeys and one double bogey.

In Chiapas
1. Huge Zapatista Silent March in Support of Javier Sicilia
- The streets of Chiapas overflowed with Zapatista support bases, Other Campaign adherents and members of civil society during a May 7 silent march in support of the National March for Peace with Justice and Dignity called by Javier Sicilia. Crowd estimates vary widely, ranging between 15 and 25,000, but photos show the size of the crowd. The Cathedral Plaza wasn't big enough to hold everyone. More than 30 EZLN commanders (the CCRI-CG) took the stage and Comandante David read a message in Spanish in support of the national movement, saying that this is a movement of honest people that represents a choice between life (peace) and death (war). They urged Mexicans to put aside their differences to support this anti-war movement. This was the first mobilization by the Zapatistas outside their territory since 2006 when they went on the Other Campaign tour. It was also the first public appearance of the commanders since the Digna Rabia Festival.
2. Worldwide Declaration To Support the 5 Bachajon Prisoners
- International solidarity organizations collected signatures for the "Bachajon 5" on a declaration demanding compliance with international law regarding respect for indigenous territory, release of the 5 prisoners and withdrawal of police and military from San Sebastian Bachajon. The Declaration was released mid-May by the Frayba Human Rights Center in Chiapas to the appropriate officials. The CSC participated in that worldwide mobilization.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SIGNED THE DECLARATION and PASSED IT ON TO OTHERS!
3. Mexico Will Reinforce Its Southern (Chiapas/Guatemala) Border
- Last month we reported on the 2 new military bases planned for the Chiapas border with Guatemala. This month, following the massacre of 27 workers on the Los Cocos Finca in Guatemala's Petén, allegedly by Mexico's Los Zetas drug gang, Mexico's Interior Minister, Francisco Blake Mora, said that the federal government would invest 2 billion pesos in infrastructure, equipment and technology along the border. At a press conference in Frontera Talisman, Chiapas (a border crossing point), Blake Mora said that the Mexican government would reinforce vigilance on the southern border to have more control over the passage of undocumented (migrants) and merchandise, drugs and weapons. (See Item #4 below.) It is important to note that there are Zapatistas and Other Campaign adherents living in communities close to these new military bases.
4. A Total Of 513 Migrants Detained In Chiapas On Their Way To The USA
- On May 17, the day before Mexico's Interior Minister, Francisco Blake Mora, held his press conference in Chiapas, local and state police detained 513 migrants from Central America and Asia being transported in two tractor-trailers under "inhuman conditions." They were detected at a control post near Tuxtla Gutiérrez, the state capital of Chiapas. Blake Mora explained that international organized crime is engaged in human trafficking and that Mexico will open 3 new migratory stations, one of them in Chiapas near Palenque. He stated that currently there are 6 formal entry points into Mexico, but there are 56 irregular ones. He also announced control posts for Huixtla, Comitán-La Trinitaria and Santuario-Palenque. These "integral" control posts will have Customs and Immigration officials, as well as agents from the departments of Defense and Agriculture. One wonders what effect this might have on tourism, currently booming in Chiapas.
In Other Parts of Mexico
1. Sicilia Movement Draws Enormous Crowd in Mexico City Zocalo
- On May 8, the movement started by poet and novelist Javier Sicilia after the murder of his son,
completed a 4-day silent walk from Cuernavaca to the Zocalo in Mexico City to protest (president) Calderon's War Against Organized Crime. Sicilia began a series of protests against the Calderon War (the Drug War) that attracted substantial support from his friends, the families and friends of other victims and those in civil society who oppose the war and the bloodshed. The EZLN, many independent social movements, individuals and immigrants answered Sicilia's call for the silent march. The result was 200, 000 people in the Zocalo and supporting marches all over the country. At the conclusion of the march, Sicilia gave an emotional speech and a call for change. It included a critique of Mexico's political class and included platform of demands. It can be read in English at:
The movement started by Sicilia is planning to move its headquarters to Ciudad Juarez (across the river from El Paso, Texas) in early June.
In the US
1. The US Supreme Court Upholds An Arizona Law
- On May 26, the US Supreme Court, in a 5-3 decision, upheld an Arizona law requiring businesses to use the E-Verify system to determine that new hires are legal U.S. residents. Some Court analysts believe that this decision is a blow to the defense that reserves regulation of immigration exclusively to the federal government.

NIU HEAD COACH Rod Carey
Promoted to head coach prior to the 2013 Orange Bowl after serving as NIU's offensive coordinator during most of the 2012 season, Rod Carey has led the Huskies to its first undefeated regular season of the modern era in his first campaign as NIU's head coach. The 41-year-old Carey coached the Northern Illinois offensive line in 2011 before adding coordinator duties a year ago. On the same day Carey was introduced as head coach last December, the Huskies made history as the first Mid-American Conference team invited to a Bowl Championship Series (BCS) game. Carey coached NIU in the Orange Bowl, a 31-10 loss to Florida State. This season, Carey has led NIU to a perfect 12-0 record and a No. 14 BCS national ranking. Heisman Trophy candidate Jordan Lynch leads one of the top offenses in the nation and Carey is the first NIU or MAC coach to win two Big Ten games in the same season. Carey spent his first two seasons at NIU helping guide two of the most prolific offenses in school history as the Huskies won back-to-back MAC championships and 11-or-more games each year. In 2012, he added run game coordinator to his duties as offensive line coach. In the midst of replacing five starters on the offensive line, Carey assumed offensive coordinator duties after the season opener. In 2011, Carey mentored two All-Americans in center Scott Wedige and left tackle Trevor Olson, and three all-MAC players. A three-year starter at center for Indiana, Carey served as a team captain and won the Corby Davis Outstanding Offensive Player Award as a senior, playing for former NIU head coach Bill Mallory. He earned his bachelor's degree from IU in 1994. Carey came to NIU after three seasons as the offensive line coach at North Dakota. His line paved the way for UND 1,000-yard rusher Josh Murray (1,146 yards) in 2008 and for the No. 2 running back in the Great West Conference a year later. Five of Carey's offensive linemen earned GWC all-conference honors in his last three seasons. Prior to going to North Dakota, Carey spent the 2007 season as the offensive line coach at Illinois State. From 2000-06, Carey coached at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. His offensive units averaged nearly 400 yards per game during his seven seasons and set 14 records, including the all-time conference rushing record. In all, Carey coached 26 all-conference selections and seven All-Americans at UW-Stout. A native of Wayzata, Minn., Carey began his collegiate coaching career at the University of Minnesota (1998-99) where he helped the Gophers to the 1999 Sun Bowl. Prior to UM, he spent four seasons at his alma mater, Wayzata (Minn.) High School, from 1994-97. Carey and his wife Tonya are the parents of daughter Kennedi (8) and son Charlie (6).

FOUR AT THE FORD: For the fourth consecutive season and fifth time overall, NIU completes its pre-bowl schedule with a trip to Detroit's Ford Field for the Marathon MAC Championship Game. No. 14 NIU will face its fourth different MAC East opponent when the Huskies take on the Bowling Green Falcons (9-3, 7-1 MAC) Friday night, Dec. 6, at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
DETROIT BOUND: NIU clinched this year's trip to the Marathon Mid-American Conference Championship with a 35-17 victory at Toledo November 20. The Huskies are the first team to appear in four consecutive MAC title games since Marshall went to six consecutive MAC Championship games from 1997-2002 when the game was held on campus sites. NIU has at least tied for the Division crown for the ninth time and the 2013 game is the fifth championship game appearance for the Huskies (2005, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013).
DOWN TO THREE: NIU is one of only three undefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision following losses by Fresno State and Alabama on the road last week. The undefeated list now includes only Florida State (ACC), Ohio State (Big Ten) and NIU.
UNBLEMISHED: NIU's 12-0 record is the best in school history, surpassing the 1963 NIU College Division National Championship team that went 10-0 behind College Football Hall of Famer George Bork. The 1951 (9-0) and 1944 (7-0) Northern Illinois teams also were undefeated. With the Huskies' win over Western Michigan, the 2013 team matched tied the school record 12-game streak posted by last year's team.
THE BEST: Since the start of the 2010 season, no FBS team has won more games than NIU. Northern Illinois has won 46 games (under three head coaches) over the past four seasons to rank tied with Alabama and Oregon for the most wins. NIU is 46-8, while the Crimson Tide and Ducks are 46-6.
DOWN TO THE WIRE: Each of the Huskies' four previous appearances in the league title game at Ford Field have been decided in the last minute. In 2005, Akron's Luke Getsy hit Domenik Hixon with a 36-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds on the clock and Jason Swiger's PAT gave the Zips a 31-30 win. In 2010, Miami converted a fourth-and-20 pass on its final drive and scored the game-winning touchdown with 33 seconds to play. In 2011, NIU claimed its first MAC title since 1983 on Mathew Sims' 33-yard field goal on the last play of the game to defeat Ohio, 23-20. And a year ago, NIU won the first MAC Championship game to go to overtime with a 44-37 victory over Kent State in the second extra period. Jordan Lynch scored on a two-yard run on the Huskies' possession and Demetrius Stone intercepted KSU QB Spencer Keith's pass in the end zone to end the game.
CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY: NIU is 2-2 in four previous MAC Championship games in Detroit and has won the last two titles. NIU has won three Mid-American Conference titles all-time, as the Huskies' first MAC crown came in 1983 under head coach Bill Mallory (Rod Carey's college coach). That season, NIU went 8-1 versus league teams and clinched the championship with a 26-14 win over Toledo.
AT THE HELM: Rod Carey is the fourth different head coach to lead NIU into a MAC Championship game in Detroit all-time, and is the third Huskie head coach in the last four seasons to bring his team here. Carey is coaching in his third consecutive MAC Championship game in his third different role. He was the offensive line coach for the 2011 Huskies, served as the offensive coordinator and O-line coach a year ago and brings his 2013 squad in as head coach.
HUSKIES AND THE RANKINGS: NIU is ranked No. 14 in this week's Bowl Championship Series Rankings for the second consecutive week with an average of .481. The Huskies are the top-rated team from a non-automatic qualifying conference, sandwiched between No. 13 Clemson and No. 15 LSU. Northern Illinois' BCS ranking is its highest since the Huskies' made their debut in the rankings on Oct. 19, 2003 at No. 10. NIU's average ranking by the computers used to determine the BCS numbers is 10 and the Huskies rose in all three polls this week.
TOP CLASS: For the third consecutive season, NIU's seniors are the winningest class in school history. With the Huskies' win over Eastern Michigan on Oct. 26, the 2013 seniors unseated the 2012 group atop the wins list. The 2013 seniors have been on teams that won 11 games in both 2010 and 2011, and have matched their 12 victories of a year ago in 2013. The seniors own a winning percentage of .852 with an overall record of 46-8 and NEVER LOST a game at Huskie Stadium (22-0). The 2012 seniors were 41-13 (.759) between 2009-2012 and the 2011 class went 35-19 (.648). Both the 2011 and 2012 seniors' final years included MAC Championships.
MAC STREAKING: The Huskies bring the nation's longest winning streak in conference games into the Marathon MAC title game. NIU has won 25 consecutive Mid-American Conference games and posted its second consecutive 8-0 MAC regular season mark. Central Michigan was the last MAC team to defeat the Huskies with a 48-41 victory in NIU's 2011 league opener in Mt. Pleasant. NIU won the remainder of its MAC games in 2011, as well as the title game, then swept through conference play in 2012 before defeating Kent State in Detroit.
HOME IS SWEET: The Huskies will go into 2014 with the longest winning streak by a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team in its home stadium. NIU's 26 consecutive wins at Huskie Stadium is a school and Mid-American Conference record. Ninety-six players on NIU's 2013 team have NEVER lost on Brigham Field. NIU went 5-0 at home in 2013 to record its fourth straight unbeaten campaign in DeKalb. The Huskies' last loss in DeKalb occurred Sept. 26, 2009, a 34-31 loss to Idaho.
FAMILIAR PLACE: Six players on the Huskie roster will be playing in their FOURTH MAC Championship game on Friday as QB Jordan Lynch, DE George Rainey, OG Jared Volk, S Jimmie Ward, S Dominique Ward and DE Joe Windsor will make their fourth trek to the Motor City with the Huskies. In all, 38 players on the 2013 have played in at least one previous MAC title game and 29 have seen action in two MAC games.
HUSKIES IN THE MAC: NIU is 123-90-2 (.577) all-time in MAC games with an 87-45 (.659) record in Mid-American Conference play since re-joining the league in 1997. The Huskies have won 30 of their last 31 and 35 of their last 39 MAC regular season contests. Northern Illinois is completing its 28th season as a member of the league in 2013-14.
ANOTHER STREAK: NIU has won each of its last nine games to be broadcast on ESPN2. The Huskies are 4-0 on ESPN2 in 2013 with wins at Purdue (Sept. 28), versus Ball State (Nov. 13), at Toledo (Nov. 20) and versus Western Michigan (Nov. 26). The MAC Championship game will mark NIU's fifth appearance in five weeks on the network. The Huskies last loss on ESPN2 came in the 2010 MAC Championship against Miami (Ohio).
SERIES SUMMARY: The Huskies and Falcons meet for just the 18th time. Bowling Green leads the all-time series 10-7, but NIU has won the last three meetings including most recently a 45-14 victory in Bowling Green in 2011. BG's last win over NIU came in 2003 when the teams met as MAC West foes in one of the biggest games in league history. Bowling Green claimed the win and eventually a spot in the MAC Championship game.
CONSISTENCY: After putting points on the board in every quarter versus Western Michigan, NIU has now scored in 46 of 48 quarters (95.8 percent) this season. The Huskies have been held to three points or less in a quarter only five times with at least six points in every other period of every other game this season. NIU had a string of 21 straight quarters with a score snapped in the second period versus Akron, and put points on the board in 19 straight periods before missing a pair of field goals in the second quarter at Toledo. Offensively, the Huskies' scoring has been consistent with 123 points scored in both the first and third quarters and 124 i nthe third. NIU's top scoring quarter is the second with 144 points.
IS IT THE HALFTIME SNACKS?: In NINE of the Huskies' 12 games this season, opponents have scored seven points or less after halftime. The NIU defense limited Iowa, Central Michigan, Ball State and UMass to field goals, with UMass the only team to score two three-pointers in that group. Idaho, Kent State, Akron, Toledo and Western Michigan scored just one touchdown apiece after halftime. Of the opponents who scored more than seven second-half points, the points put up by Purdue (14) and Eastern Michigan (17) came in blowout Huskie wins against NIU back-ups. Overall, teams are averaging just 8.2 points in the second half against NIU (99 points in 12 games).
NOBODY DOES BOTH BETTER: No player in the country can compare to Jordan Lynch when it comes to what he does for his team as a passer and as a rusher, not to mention as a leader. (Don't even get us started on his punting and receiving.) Start with his 2,457 passing yards on 212-of-329 passing (64.5 percent) with 22 touchdowns to just five interceptions. Add his status as the number three rusher in the country with 1,755 yards on 248 carries (7.1 yards per carry) and 20 scores on the ground, and you have a player whose abilities have lifted NIU to a 12-0 record.
CHECK THE NUMBERS: Need proof? Jordan Lynch's offensive production has been equal to that of TWO PLAYERS - the number one passer AND number one rusher on most of the other top teams in the country. His 4,212 yards are also more than 21 FBS teams. The chart below compares the total offense yardage numbers for some of the nation's top quarterbacks and the rushing totals for each of their team's top rushers to Lynch's totals.
Team QB (Total Offense) RB (Rushing Yards) Total Offense
NIU Jordan Lynch (4,212) Jordan Lynch (1,755) 4,212
Florida State Jameis Winston (3,624) Devonta Freeman (852) 4,476
Ohio State Braxton Miller (2,650) Carlos Hyde (1,290) 3,940
Alabama A.J. McCarron (2,697) T.J. Yeldon (1,163) 3,860
300, AGAIN?: For the second time this season, NIU's Jordan Lynch broke the NCAA FBS record for rushing yards by a quarterback when he ran for 321 yards on 27 carries versus Western Michigan. Lynch broke the record he had set on Oct. 19 at Central Michigan when he ran for 316 yards on 32 carries with three rushing scores. Versus WMU, Lynch scored on runs of 29, 36 and 37 yards and averaged 11.6 yards per rush. At CMU, Lynch picked up 232 yards on 18 carries in the second half with runs of 28, 40, 40 and 49 yards. Lynch broke the mark set by Huskie signal-caller Stacey Robinson, who ran for 308 yards versus Fresno State on Oct. 6, 1990. Lynch, the fourth Huskie to go over the 300-yard mark, owns two of the Huskies' seven 300-yard rushing games.
HE OWNS IT: NIU's Jordan Lynch has been named the MAC West Player of the Week a record eight times in 2013 and 12 times in his career. Lynch finished the season by being named the Player of the Week after each of his last four games. In all, five different NIU players have won a MAC West Player of the Week Award 13 times with Tommylee Lewis and Ken Bishop winning twice each and Mathew Sims (at Iowa) and Cameron Stingily (versus Kent State) honored once.
WOLFE, TURNER, LYNCH: Quarterback Jordan Lynch ranks third on the Huskies' all-time rushing list after just two seasons as a starter. In 108 years of Huskie football, Lynch's 4,178 rushing yards rank behind ONLY All-Americans Michael Turner (4,941) and Garrett Wolfe (5,164) on the NIU career charts. NIU's reputation as a rushing powerhouse dates back to the days when Mark Kellar led the NCAA in rushing in 1973, and includes LeShon Johnson (1993) and Garrett Wolfe (2006), who also led the nation in those seasons. Lynch needs one touchdown to become the Huskies' all-time leader in scoring and in touchdowns.
GROUND AND POUND: Jordan Lynch is close to breaking two more NCAA quarterback rushing records. With 61 rushing yards, he will break the single-season record for most yards by a quarterback of 1,815, which he set in 2012. Additionally, Lynch is on pace to break the NCAA record for most rushing yards gained per game by a quarterback. Averaging 146.25 yards/game, the Chicago, Ill., native needs 147 yards to clinch the record currently held by Beau Morgan ofs Air Force (135.8 YPG in 1996).
SETTLING A SCORE: With one more rushing touchdown, Lynch will tie or break three single-season school records. For starters, a touchdown will give Lynch sole possession for the most touchdowns responsible for in a season with 45, topping his own mark from last season. He will also tie two other records currently held by former RB Chad Spann in scoring (132) and touchdowns scored (22). Over the last four games, Lynch has found the endzone 12 times on the ground.
NEVER BEFORE: Hard to believe that in all of its years built to run, Northern Illinois has NEVER had two players rush for 1,000 yards in the same season...until 2013. Tailback Cameron Stingily joined Lynch in the 1,000-yard club with 49 yards on 14 carries versus WMU to give him 1,007 yards on 180 carries in 2013. Stingily, who has three 100-yard games this season, gained 146 yards on 18 carries at Toledo and picked up a career-best 266 yards on 37 carries at Kent State. NIU players have rushed for at least 1,000 yards in a season 28 times in school history (including this year).
40-40/250-250: With 12 rushing touchdowns in NIU's last four games, Jordan Lynch has become the ninth quarterback in NCAA FBS history to accumulate at least 40 rushing AND 40 passing touchdowns in his career. Lynch enters the MAC Championship Game with 45 career rushing, 49 career passing and one career receiving touchdown. He is one of only eight players to score 250 points and pass for 250 points. Denard Robinson of Michigan was the last player to go 40-40 and 250-250.
THE 15TH WARD: Senior safety Jimmie Ward will not only be remembered as one of the best defensive backs in NIU history, but also one of the most experienced players overall. When he takes the field Friday night in Detroit, he will tie the program record for most games played in a career with 54, held by former teammates Martel Moore and Sean Progar. Ward, who was named a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award in October, has also been selected to play in the 2014 Reese's Senior Bowl, which will take place Jan. 25, 2014, in his hometown of Mobile, Ala.
BALL HAWK: NIU senior safety Jimmie Ward continues to play at an elite level. After a spectacular interception at Toledo, Ward has six INTs on the season, the most in a single season by an NIU player since 2003, when Randee Drew picked off six passes. He ranks tied for fifth in the country in interceptions. The senior, who often draws the assignment of covering the opponent's top receiver, leads NIU in tackles with 77 and has broken up eight passes after knocking down three versus Western Michigan. The first Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist in school history, Ward was also named to SI.com's Midseason All-America team. He returned an interception at Purdue 62 yards for a touchdown and set up the Huskies' game-winning field goal at Iowa by intercepting Iowa QB Jake Rudock with 1:17 to play.
PICKS FOR THE PACK: NIU has intercepted 17 passes in 2013, the highest total by a Northern Illinois team since the 2003 Huskies intercepted 23 passes. NIU currently ranks 12th in the country in interceptions. Safeties Jimmie Ward (6), Dechane Durante (3) and Dominique Ware (2) have accounted for 11 interceptions. In NIU's last three games, cornerback Paris Logan, defensive end Joe Windsor and linebacker Boomer Mays have each recorded their first career interceptions. Mays' INT came in the end zone and stopped a Toledo first half drive, while Windsor returned his pick versus Ball State for 49 yards and a touchdown.
PICK POCKETS: While most of the attention has been on NIU's offense this season, the Huskie defense has quietly made a name for themselves in the turnover department. The opportunistic unit ranks eighth nationally with a +14 turnover margin and sits 11th in the country with 27 takeaways. A big part of this number has been the Huskies' fondness for interceptions, as they have picked off 17 passes to lead the MAC and rank 12th in the NCAA. The NIU defense has forced at least one turnover in 11 of their 12 games this season and have notched three or more takeaways in five games.
NO SACKS FOR YOU: Through 12 games, NIU is tied for second in the nation with only eight sacks allowed. The O-line also has posted six games with no sacks allowed and four others with only one opponent sack. The line powers a Huskie offense ranked fourth overall (542.3 yards/game), fourth in rushing (318.9) and ninth in scoring (42.8 points/game). With the loss of left tackle Tyler Loos, who suffered a dislocated ankle and broken leg versus UMass, the Huskies offensive line now consists of tackles Matt Krempel (RT) and Ryan Brown (LT), guards Jared Volk (LG) and Aidan Conlon (RG) and center Andrew Ness. Junior Tyler Pitt rotates in at guard, just as Krempel did prior to the injury to Loos.
RECORDS IN REACH: Behind Jordan Lynch, the NIU offense is on the verge of making its case as the best offense in school history. NIU's offensive numbers so far this season rank in the all-time top 10 in 17 different categories and are in the top five in 12. The Huskies' 42.8 points per game average is four points better than the 38.6 ppg put up by the 2012 Huskies. With 542.3 yards of total offense per game, NIU is well ahead of 2011's 476 yards per game. Last week against WMU, the Huskies broke the single-season record for team rushing yards (3,827) and rushing first downs (194). Among the most significant records in reach, the 2013 Huskies need 164 total yards, 35 completions and five passing touchdowns.
NO SENIORS: Of the 19 players who have caught a pass for NIU this year, only one - quarterback Jordan Lynch (on a 17-yard TD catch from Tommylee Lewis versus Eastern Michigan) - is a senior. The Huskies do not have a single (active) senior wide receiver, running back, fullback or tight end on the roster in 2013. The receptions by class are led by NIU's juniors with Lewis (74) and Da'Ron Brown (42) combining for 116 catches for 1,312 of NIU's 2,642 receiving yards (49.7 percent). With those two players sitting out the last two games, sophomore Juwan Brescacin stepped up, especially in the Toledo game, with eight catches for 121 yards.
BROWN'S BIG DAY: Junior receiver Da'Ron Brown had the best day of his NIU career with eight catches for 209 yards and two touchdowns versus Ball State. Brown caught touchdown passes of 58 and 36 yards, and added a 54-yard reception. Brown became the seventh NIU receiver to have a 200-yard receiving game, and the first player since Martel Moore had a 224-yard game versus Arkansas State in the 2012 GoDaddy.com Bowl. Moore's 209 yard total ranks seventh on the Huskie single game chart.
PRESSURE IS A PRIVILEGE: In the preseason, NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch used the phrase "pressure is a privilege" to describe how he approaches the expectations for himself and for the 2013 Huskies. Based on NIU's success in close games over the last two seasons, the team has embraced that motto as the Huskies are 7-0 in their last seven games decided by seven points or less. NIU has won three of those games this season over Akron (27-20), Eastern Illinois (43-39) and Iowa (30-27)
THE HARD WAY: Over the years, the NIU football program has embraced the motto "The Hard Way," long used by NIU coaches to describe the Huskies' ability to battle adversity and overcome obstacles en route to earning team success. Use of the phrase dates back to the Joe Novak era (1996-2007), and it is prominently used in the team's postgame chant. Versus WMU on Nov. 26, the words were used on the backs of the Huskies special BlackOut jerseys.
STINGILY AND THE YAC: According to the NIU coaches, 72 percent of tailback Cameron Stingily's rushing yards (728 of 1,007) have come after the first contact with a defender. Approximately 4.0 of his 5.6 yards per rush are "YAC" (Yards After Contact). In the Kent State game, where Stingily gashed the Flashes for 266 yards on 37 carries, Stingily totaled 195 YAC yards, an average of an extra 5.3 yards and he had 100 YAC (of 146) versus Toledo.
HOT, HOT, HOT: Over the last half of the season, Huskie quarterback Jordan Lynch has run for 1,139 yards on 142 carries with 16 touchdowns, completed 94-of-134 passes for 1,124 yards and nine scores to total 2,263 yards on 276 plays. He is averaging 189.8 rushing yards per game, 8.02 yards per carry and is completing 70.1 percent of his passes. Northern Illinois is gaining 8.2 yards every time he touches the ball over the last six games.
BEST AGAINST THE BEST: Jordan Lynch recorded the best completion percentage of his career, and was one completion away from the NIU single game record, with his 26-of-32 passing performance in the Huskies' critical MAC West win over a 10-win Ball State team. Lynch completed 81.3 percent of his passes with a career-high 26 completions. Most importantly, Lynch engineered two huge fourth-quarter touchdown drives to overcome a halftime deficit and get the win. The 26 completions tied for seventh-most all-time at NIU and the 345 yards are eighth.
MAN IN THE MIDDLE: Defensive tackle Ken Bishop ranks and impressive fourth on the Huskie team in tackles with 59 after making a career-high 11 stops at Toledo, and his 5.5 tackles for loss are tied for third on the team. At UMass, Bishop stepped in front of a screen pass for his first career INT and finished with nine tackles to earn his second MAC West Defensive Player of the Week Award. Bishop was also honored versus Idaho. Akron Head Coach Terry Bowden came away impressed with the NIU senior, "I don't think there's a better defensive player in the league than No. 93 (Bishop). He's got incredible strength and explosion. Whether it's against Iowa or us, he has the ability to stick a hand in somebody's chest and just drive them back. Then he separates with great quickness."
B1G BUSTER: After defeating both Iowa (30-27) and Purdue (55-24) during the non-conference schedule, NIU is 4-4 in its last eight games versus Big Ten Conference opponents and became the first Mid-American Conference team to defeat two Big Ten opponents in a regular season. The Huskies' 55 points at Purdue were the most ever scored by a MAC team versus the Big Ten and its 31-point victory margin tied for the largest in league history. NIU has more Big Ten wins this season than any team in the state.

Visiting Lecturer in Physics
Theoretical physicists focused on foundations of general relativity and quantum gravity
My research is driven by a quest for physically motivated set of observables for general relativity and a quantum theory of general relativity. While strictly speaking I do physics, my work is influenced by philosophy and history of general relativity and quantum field theory, especially the foundational questions. For my PhD work, I studied conformal and projective structures, which led me to develop the framework of Unimodular Conformal and Projective Relativity (UCPR), an alternative formulation of the general theory of relativity. Currently, I am working on applying this formalism to various physical phenomena.
I mostly teach lectures and labs for introductory physics courses for non-physics majors (PHYS 104, PHYS 106). My lectures are a mixture of "old-fashioned" lecturing, table-top demonstrations, and, most importantly, in-class conceptual exercises for which students work in groups on conceptual problems related to the relevant topics. I really enjoy working with curious students with little or no background in physics and helping them discover its beauty and predictive power. Over the course of the last ten years, I have taught physics to science and non-science students, as well as freshmen writing seminars, Space and Time: Common Sense and Beyond our understanding of space and time.

Severe weather has recently impacted states in the South and Midwest regions of the country and on January 5, Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, President of the USCCB, requested the U.S. bishops to take up a special collection for relief from these recent storms and possible future domestic calamities. Archbishop Kurtz requested this special collection take place on the weekend of January 9-10 or 15-16.The funds collected in this one-time special appeal for the 2015-2016 storms and other natural disasters will be used to support the efforts of Catholic Charities USA, the official domestic relief agency of the U.S. Catholic Church, as they and their member agencies respond to immediate emergency needs for such necessities as water, food, shelter, and medical care, as well as to the long term need to rebuild and recover after widespread destruction, and to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for pastoral and reconstruction needs of the Church.
Parishes should send proceeds from the special collection for 2015-2016 calamity recovery to their diocesan finance office. Dioceses should then immediately remit all received funds directly to USCCB (USCCB, Office of National Collections, 2015-2016 Calamities Special Collection, P. O.

"As faithful disciples and imitators of Christ, you are urged to go against the current, choosing the evangelical option of serving the brethren…above all, because you are impelled by the unceasing power of divine charity."
— Pope John Paul II (2001)
Each parish is part of the Church Universal; it is the Catholic
Church in a particular place. The bishops of the United States created
the national collections so that, by combining resources, we can more
effectively carry out our mission as Catholics. Each of these important
collections is worthy of your support. Each collection represents our
community of faith at work in the world, saving souls and
improving lives.
USCCB National Collections partnered with Foundations and Donors Interested in Catholic Activities (FADICA) to conduct a survey on recent giving patterns within the Catholic Church. This survey focused particular attention on whether Pope Francis has had a positive effect on giving. Read the survey results.
Thirty-two percent of working-age Catholics have given online at some point, according to a report on U.S. Catholic and online giving from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA).
"The knowledge gained from this report is important for our understanding of the current patterns of giving among Catholics," said Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr of Cincinnati, chairman of the USCCB National Collections Committee. Read
the press release.
This document, approved in November 2011 and addressed to bishops and to diocesan and parish personnel, provides guidance and explanation about the nature and meaning of the national collections and direction on how they should be best administered.

It is no secret that that 3D printing is probably one of the most revolutionary trends in our generation. The work being done in the medical field with this technology is nothing short of amazing. Professor Melissa little is currently leading a research team at the University of Queensland with a partnership from Organovo bio printing where they are researching and printing copies of a human kidney. Although transplanting printed kidneys in humans is a little ways down the road, 3D printing in the medical field is already gaining significant traction. Scientists and doctors are now able to print artificial ears and repair damage done to the face, helping many wounded vets receive treatment that was previously inconceivable. The possibilities of 3D printing in the medical field are limitless and no doubt exciting to say the least, but what about the commercial and home possibilities?
Commercial use
Many companies have seen the benefits and are using 3D printing technology in their manufacturing plants and storefronts. Nike has recently produced a shoe made primarily from 3D printed material. The shoe is a lightweight football cleat called the Vapor Laser Talon that is printed using nylon and is the first of its kind to be mass-produced using 3D printing technology. Many companies are printing products like shoes, toys and clothing; cutting down on manufacturing costs. The clothing company Continuum is using 3D printing technology to customize clothing to fit each individual customer. They have been able to produce fully customized clothing fast, cheap and without a production warehouse thanks to 3D printers. The American Aerospace company; MD Helicopters has harnessed the power of 3D printing technology and fully printed and assembled a helicopter using lightweight composites. MD says that this process will help produce airframe structures much faster than before and deliver them to the market quickly and efficiently. The commercial market is sure to benefit from the efficiency, customization and convenience of 3D printing technology.
Home use
Because 3D printing is becoming more commonplace, printers are slowly coming down in price. Although they are still in the $2,000 range, some home users will surly benefit from owning their own personal machine. Inventors, designers and engineers now have a creative outlet to physically express their ideas. For the inventor who wants to test his invention, all he has to do is print out a prototype and test it in real time without having to go through the process of sending instructions away to be manufactured. Entrepreneurs now have the ability to physically print out their ideas and show them to investors. Have a shoe design that you would like to create? Simply map it out and print it on your own personal 3D printer. With a little know-how and some 3D mapping software, you can do just about anything, and possibly even make a business out of it.
There is sure to be some interesting things to come in the word of 3D printing. Pick up your own today, get in on the revolution and see your creativity come to life.

Not saying it's not a good thing....I just need to see more of the team and how the season plays out before I can get TRULY excited about how good they are (although I can't remember being this excited to watch ISU Bball in November--frik that was awesome!).
Remember, the last two years people were melting down at times throughout November and December, only to see real nice seasons emerge.
Now, if they go into BYU this week and keep it steady without being hungover from the MU game, I would probably change my mind on what 'too soon' is.

Iowa is unranked right now and he predicts them to jump up to #18 for dominating the almighty basketball powers of Maryland-Eastern Shore and Abilene Christian? I don't care how bad they beat them, no way should wins over those schools jump your ranking that much.

Aggie and Lady Aggie Sports

Immediate Release**
Aggies Dump Conference Leader St.
Edward's, 63-62
by Scott Puryear of OPSU Sports on 2/11/07
Goodwell, Okla. - In Austin,
Texas on Saturday evening, the Oklahoma Panhandle State
men's basketball squad had the unenviable task of
playing on the home court of a very good college basketball
team - St. Edward's University. The Hilltoppers entered
the contest atop the Heartland Conference and carrying a
season record of 17 wins against just four losses.
In order to challenge the Hilltoppers, the Aggies - beginning
the game with a 6-17 record - knew they would have to put
up a good fight, and that is exactly what they did for the
full 40 minutes as they hammered out a 63-62 victory.
The game was just about everything a college basketball
fan could ask for.
OPSU came out very tough and held an 11-8 lead in the early
going, thanks to nine quick points by forward Will Stephenson.
The Aggies held a 21-16 advantage with just under nine minutes
to go in the first half; however, a wild flurry by St. Edward's
put them in a 23-23 tie with just under five minutes left.
There were ten ties and ten lead changes and by the halftime
break, everyone needed a deep breath from the exciting action.
In the first half alone, OPSU's junior duo of Stephenson
and LaChawn Anderson had each scored a dozen and sophomore
Luke Ogden had registered ten rebounds. When the teams went
to the locker rooms, the Aggies were ahead 30-28.
Using an 11-player rotation, St. Edwards mustered several
challenges, but each time the Aggies were there with resolve
and the score stood 37-33 in favor of OPSU with 16 minutes
left in the game.
Defense took over the game for the next several minutes,
but the intensity continued and with 8:45 remaining, the
score stood OPSU 46 - St. Edward's 46.
St. Edward's showed their own brand of determination
and at the five minute mark, they led the Aggies by four
points at 54-50, but a fast bucket by Stephenson got it
to 54-52 and after a flurry of action over the next two
minutes, the Aggies reclaimed the lead at 57-56.
With 40 seconds left and St. Edward's ahead again,
60-59, OPSU coach Curt Connor called a timeout and soon
after, Anderson coolly drilled a three-point rocket to put
the Aggies back on top, 62-60, with 28 seconds to play.
St. Edward's got a two-point bucket as time expired,
but it was not enough. Oklahoma Panhandle State 63, St.
Edward's 62!
It was a great team-oriented win for the Aggies, who also
won the battle of the boards, 40 rebounds to 26.
Anderson continues to be the hottest player in the Heartland
Conference with 28 points in the game and the junior has
averaged almost 27 points in his last five outings. Stephenson
knocked down 21 points with a solid nine for 15 from the
The 6'5 Ogden - a very tough inside player - hauled
down 13 rebounds to go with his six points and Stephenson
and Anderson snared 12 and eight rebounds, respectively.
It was a great win for the Aggies and a great win for Connor,
who is retiring from coaching at the end of the season.
The Aggies will get a well-deserved few days off before
they travel to Jefferson City, Missouri next Saturday for
a clash with Lincoln University.

Mean Outcome
by Independent Variables
Mean WAZ by Roofing Type and Education
Mean AC prevalence by Latrine and Water Type
Return to Two-way Page 1
Individually: Roofing
First, examine each independent variable in relation with the outcome to determine the associations. At this point allowances for any further cleaning of the independent variable or determining if it should be further categorized (to eliminate cells under a count of 5 for further analysis) can be made.
First, notice the numbers (N) in each cell in the table. The group with tiles as roofing is very small, insignificant for consideration. Although the group with tiled roofs is better off nutritionally indicative of the higher SES, the two individuals that make up this category will be deselected for further analysis here.
1. Open keast4j.sav
2. Click on Statistics, Compare Means, and Means.
3. In the Dependent list, enter the variables waz (waz SD) and waprev (prev waz <-2 SD) from the left hand variable list
4. In the Independent list, enter the variable for roofing type, roof and level of education of the respondent, edn.
5. Click on the Options box and check the ANOVA table box under the area labeled Statistics for the first layer.
6. Click on Continue and OK.
To deselect the group with tiles:
1. In the Data Editor, click on Utilities, Variables, and then select the variable named roof from the list. Once you click on roof, it will give all of the details of that variable including those that are coded as missing (99).
2. Click on Go To and it will take the cursor to highlight this variable in the data set.
3. Double click on the word roof at the top of the column in the dataset and a Define Variable box will appear. Then click on the box labeled Missing Values and in the second Discrete value box, add the number 31 (so now both 99 and 31 are missing discrete values).4. Click on Continue, OK.
5. Now, rerun the exercise to calculate the mean above, step 1-5 (now without tiles for roofing).
The mean z-score for the grass /thatch (lower income indicator) is much lower than that of the corrugated iron roof group (higher income indicator). The mean z-score for low SES is -1.46 and high SES is -1.20, which corresponds in the right hand column to a prevalence (<-2 SD WAZ) of 38% and 26%, respectively. The ANOVA results show that this difference is significant, as the p= 0.01. The ANOVA presentation here has two areas of interest for practical application which are the 'F-STATISTIC' AND 'SIGNIFICANCE'.
Running the analysis table by
educational attainment, the results are as shown here, also in the expected direction.
There is a decreasing prevalence of malnutrition in each higher educational category, and
an increasing mean weight for age z-score. The largest difference in the results is
seen between the group that did and the group that did not complete primary level
education (-1.1 to -1.5 SD WAZ and 37% to 20% prevalence of underweight). The ANOVA
results support that the difference between malnutrition levels in different educational
groups is significantly different (p=0.000).
Together: Roofing and Education
We are now looking for the combined effect of education within category of housing quality-- in other words removing the effect of housing, as far as we can by using the two categories. When running an analysis with two independent variables together, the results will be presented in layers for each category. To run the tables, either the Compare means function can be used like we have done for the one independent variable. There is one problem with this option though, it will not give the ANOVA with both education and roofing in the model. Instead, it is necessary to run the analysis using General Linear Model (GLM), which will give both the tabular presentation and the ANOVA table.
1. Open keast4j.sav
2. Select Statistics, General Linear Model, GLM General Factorial
3. Select waz and move it to the Dependent Variable field.
4. Select edn (educational attainment of respondent) and roof (good/ bad roof), and move them into the Fixed Factor(s): field.
5. Click the Options button.
6. Click on Display, Descriptive Statistics and Observed Power.
7. Click Continue.
8. Click OK.
Within each educational group, there is a pattern in the expected direction of mean z-scores for roofing type, where individuals with grass/ thatch have lower mean z-scores than those with iron roofs. Also, malnutrition seems to decrease within increasing categories of education (seen by totals). Both education and roof type have the association with nutrition status of the child that follows the expected direction, but it appears that education has the stronger association.
In the ANOVA, an additional factor called an INTERACTION variable is included. It is labeled ROOF*EDN in the 'Tests Between Subjects Effects' output. Interaction determines if there is an association between the two variables (ROOF and EDN) to a degree that would change the effect of education or roofing individually. In this case, the interaction of education and roofing is not significant at the 0.05 level. Since the interaction variable is not significant, it is good to run the same exercise without the interaction term and reinterpret the results (Interaction will be covered in far more detail on page 2- Interaction of chapter 4). To do so:
1. Open keast4j.sav
2. Select Statistics, General Linear Model, GLM General Factorial O.K.
3. Select. waz and move it to the Dependent Variable field.
4. Select edn (educational attainment) and roof (good/ bad roof), and move them into the Fixed Factor(s): field.
5. Click the Model button and select the dot marked Custom, then move edn and roof from the box called Factors and Covariates and enter them into the box labeled Model using the arrow button.
6. Click on the down arrow under the Build terms box and select Main Effects.
7. Click Continue.
8. Click OK.
From the ANOVA without the interaction term, it appears that education and nutritional status has a more significant result ( p= 0.000) than for roof and nutritional status (p=0.133). When both education and roof are in the model, the association with roof is no longer significant above the effect of education. This does not indicate that roofing (an estimate of SES) is not an important determinant of nutrition status, but the size of the effect is much smaller when education of the respondent is considered in the model. The results show that the level of education is a strong determinant of the nutritional status of the child and roofing is not as strong once education is accounted for. The next task is to present this data, return to the two-way page 1 to see this.
