A big weekend for Will Clyburn
Chris Williams
Will Clyburn received not one, but two honors over the weekend in Atlanta.
Clyburn, who scored 17 points with eight rebounds in Friday's Reese's College All-Star game, was named the MVP of the West team that lost 87-81. Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg was Clyburn's coach in the game.
Note: That you can watch a replay of this game on CBS this Sunday at 1 p.m.
That wasn't it though. On Saturday, Clyburn was officially invited to participate in the 61st annual Portsmouth Invitational Tournament that will occur April 10-13 in Portsmouth, Va.
Former Cyclones that have participated in this event since 2001 are Diante Garrett, Marquis Gilstrap, Jiri Hubalek, Jared Homan Jackson Vroman, Paul Shirley and Martin Ranik.

Van Jones on Sherrod: A Teachable Moment
LAS VEGAS–Former Obama administration green jobs czar Van Jones weighed in on the Shirley Sherrod affair today. His message: It can happen to me. It can happen to her. It can happen to anyone.
"This woman is like Rosa Parks. This woman is as pure as the driven snow and she got slimed," Jones said at Netroots Nation, a gathering of 2,100 progressive activists.
Jones knows something about the media spotlight. He resigned from his post last September after an uproar from conservative critics, including Fox commentator Glenn Beck, about his liberal past.
Sherrod, however, was wrongfully fired after conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart made public an edited video of a speech she made; the video clip made it appear that she was racist, when in fact she was condemning racism.
The problem, Jones said today, is that in rapid-fire media world it's really easy to be unfairly maligned.
"We're in a new world," he said. "We're in a world where we've taken away our immune system, the old filters, the old gatekeepers, the old Walter Cronkites. We've banished them, but we don't have new ones, so we're in a situation without any filters and so the information system has taken a huge leap forward but the wisdom system has not."
Jones, however, was quick to note that there was a difference between his situation and Sherrod's—namely that his personal politics were considerably more radical and thus easier to malign.
"I had a much more colorful life than Ms. Sherrod," he said. "I mean, let's be honest: I was distinguishable as a radical leftist in the Bay Area. You've got to get up early, you've got to work weekends to be distinguishable as a leftist in the Bay Area."

Peripheral artery disease and leg cramping
Doug Carlon, MD is a vascular surgeon, section chief of Endovascular Services at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix andassistant clinical professor of surgery at the University of Arizona. His office can be reached at (602) 277-7430.
Question: Lately I have cramping in my legs when walking or climbing stairs that goes away once I stop. Is this a sign I need to exercise more regularly or could it be something serious?
Answer: While I can't be sure of the reason for your pain without assessing your individual risk factors, what you describe sounds like a condition known as claudication. A term for leg pain that occurs with exertion, claudication results from poor blood flow in the vessels of the legs brought about by peripheral artery disease (PAD).
PAD is caused by atherosclerosis, a hardening of the arteries outside of the heart and brain, including the legs, arms and neck. It is most common in individuals over the age of 50 who present such lifestyle and genetic risk factors as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity and family history.
If you are young and do not have these risk factors, it may simply be a lack of stamina. However, if these risk factors apply, your leg pain may signal more than just being out of shape. Either way, you should be evaluated by a physician to determine what, if any, care is required.
In some ways, this leg pain is a built-in warning not to be ignored as it could indicate plaque accumulation in the heart or neck that could ultimately lead to a heart attack and stroke. Your primary care physician can help determine your risk for PAD, take steps to control your symptoms and, if appropriate, refer you to a peripheral vascular specialist.
Approximately one out of every eight people with PAD requires medical intervention, such as balloon angioplasty, stent placement and even bypass. The vast majority of patients experience relief by controlling their risk factors through medication and lifestyle adjustments such as quitting smoking, eating healthy and routine walking, the recommended exercise for PAD.
As a first step, discuss your leg pain with your primary care physician. Early detection is the best way to head off serious health complications resulting from PAD.

All Vijay ever did was worry.
His family faced numerous financial problems... and there never seemed to be enough money. Dealing with these issues had robbed him and his wife of all peace.
They prayed to their religion's gods and goddesses, asking them to come to their rescue. But they received no answer - not even an assurance that things would, someday, become better.
Vijay was losing hope.
It was at this time that Vijay and his wife noticed a group of women in their village. They would see the women on their way to work. Often, they could hear the women singing and praying in their home - the worship brought the couple great peace.
Soon, they became friends with the women, who are one of our mobile film teams.
One day as the women were returning from work, Vijay politely asked them what they did during the day. The women gladly told him about their work. Eventually they told him about their personal relationships with Christ.
The more Vijay listened to the team, the more he began to long for a similar passion and faith. He wanted to know more, so our team agreed to meet with him again later.
At their next meeting, Vijay told the team how he and his wife were struggling. He was desperate and wanted to know if Christ could help him.
The women shared how their faith helped them face life challenges, and how Christ also had a greater gift to offer. Vijay was intrigued. Could this gift truly help his family? The team members invited him and his wife to their fellowship meeting, where they would show a film. Vijay promised to bring his wife.
At the following meeting, Vijay and his wife were fascinated by the group of people who sang songs and worshipped the Living God.
Then the showing of our all-Indian acted Life of Christ film, Dayasagar, began - and Vijay and his wife's fascination grew. They watched in wonder as the film gave them a better sense of Jesus and the time in which He lived.
Everything that the Dayspring film team members had explained to them became more clear as they watched Jesus teach, heal, and love unconditionally. They cried during the crucifixion scene as they realized the heavy price Christ had to pay on their behalf.
After the meeting, Vijay and his wife met the team members and acknowledged that Christ's love was like no other. They had understood his power and authority. They no longer wanted to live without him.
Since that day, Vijay and his entire family have been worshipping the living God. They faithfully attend the fellowship group that our team runs on a weekly basis. And they have finally found the peace that eluded them for so long.
Thank you for helping us to bring God's hope into the lives of Vijay and his wife. May God bless you for your generous support and prayers.

In the newest trailer for her upcoming HBO concert special, Lady Gaga reveals her more vulnerable side, one that's rarely seen beneath the elaborate costumes and ultra-confident stage presence. This gritty clip (embedded below) shows a black-and-white Gaga stripping away her makeup backstage at the Garden, before crying about insecurities that continue to plague her everyday. "I still feel like a loser kid in high school," she says. "And I just gotta pick my sh– up, I gotta pick myself up, and I have to tell myself I'm a superstar every morning so that I can get through this day and be for my fans what they need for me to be." Watch Mother Monster get real below.
This raw display of emotion drives home Gaga's lyrics of love and self-acceptance. There are moments of fierceness ("You will never destroy the kingdom that is my fans") as well as paranoia ("Sometimes I still feel like people are trying to destroy me"), yet ultimately the four-minute trailer is a closer look at Stefanie Germanotta the 24-year-old woman, someone the public hasn't really seen since "Just Dance" made it big in 2008.
Lady Gaga Presents The Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden premieres May 7 at 9 p.m. EST on HBO. Do you like this softer, "authentic" side of Lady Gaga or would you rather just see some wigs and lipstick?

Just how important is it to bring everything you've got to the game of economic development, a game at least partly built on the notion that those who schmooze the best win?
To hear Paul Dennis tell it, every move, every statement, every detail counts.
Inside his second-floor office on Main Street in downtown Washougal, Dennis, the former mayor of Camas and now president and CEO of the Camas-Washougal Economic Development Association (CWEDA), recently recalled the story of the mid-1990s battle between Portland and Austin, Texas, over which of the two metro areas would become home to a new Samsung Electronics fabrication plant.
Austin rolled out the red carpet.
Portland didn't.
Portland lost. The consequences still reverberate: This summer, Samsung announced it would expand its Austin plant with a $3.6 billion investment and 500 additional jobs.
These days, Dennis is focused on bringing economic victories to east Clark County. That means getting out of the office a lot to visit employers and paying attention to the details, including understanding the maze of municipal regulations so he can guide companies to building permits.
In May, east county leaders announced Dennis and his private consulting firm — Cascade Planning Group — would lead CWEDA, a creation of the Port of Camas-Washougal and the cities of Camas and Washougal.
In total, the port and the two cities have allocated $200,000 to pay for the nonprofit, with the port setting aside $100,000 (money it routed to CWEDA from a staff position it cut), and the cities each kicking in $50,000.
Dennis' Cascade Planning Group, a kind of clearinghouse of market information to help companies make good business decisions, has done work for local governments and private companies across the U.S., including in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Montana.
The following interview was edited for brevity and clarity.
What are three things that make you hopeful and optimistic about Clark County's economic prospects in the months and years ahead?
We basically have two tax structures. We've got the Washington tax structure and the Oregon tax structure. Where Clark County can best position itself are in the small- to medium-size companies that are able to move but grow and are highly profitable.
The more your profit margin equals your gross revenue, the better the gross receipts tax (in Washington) looks versus a corporate income tax (in Oregon), which is looking at net income after expenses.
Even though we're a distressed county, by being distressed there's a savings (through tax exemptions available to areas with high unemployment rates) on the sales tax. If you're a manufacturer, you don't have to pay sales tax on the building construction or on the equipment. So, we have a small tools company that wants to relocate to the Camas-Washougal area. What they don't want to do is pay past (sales and) use tax on all that equipment — they own millions of dollars of equipment. By having those tax incentives, that makes it affordable for them to move over here.
Another aspect is that if you have a family, this is a great place to have your business and raise your family, because we have good schools and a high quality of life.
What makes you pessimistic?
The regulatory environment, especially on the environmental side. I'm not saying we should pollute the air or water or that we shouldn't have a high regard for the environment. We should. But it's gone to the extreme.
We have a client right now who needs a sewer permit because they're an industrial user. They need the state to buy off on it before they can discharge into the municipality's sewer system. Their waste is hot water. They use water to cool their machinery. One would think that would be pretty easy to permit, but when you go to a state agency and they say it's 60 days to five months, if you're a business, can you wait five months? That's where we're able to facilitate the discussion, get the right people in place and help companies work though the regulatory environment. That's really the value of my position.
The second is capital. It's not real easy to go get bank financing. Then you look at China from a capital standpoint. The Chinese are continuing with a competitive advantage where companies can go get grants or no-interest loans, all kinds of funding from the private or public sectors. It's incredible when you think about U.S. companies trying to compete.
Most of the companies I've visited here in the Camas-Washougal area — we're talking larger companies — are poised to expand, either their labor force or just capacity. All of them are doing better than they were in fall 2009, which is great news. It's really coming down to, can they get money cheap enough to really do the expansion they want to do?
What does the Camas-Washougal Economic Development Association bring to the table to help make things better?
One of the things we can do is play matchmaker. So, we've had companies say, "Hey, we want to locate in the Camas-Washougal area, what's available to me?" They've already taken a look, and they might have discounted a couple of sites, but they're still not quite sure, so they want a little bit more detail or ground truthing. So we're able to help them with that.
Business owners know how to operate their business, but they don't necessarily know the regulatory environment, and that's where they need help, so I'm able to do that.
What can you tell us about how CWEDA will work with the Columbia River Economic Development Council? Some might say you're a competitor to the Vancouver-based CREDC.
Thankfully, we talk, so we're able to compare our notes and to be more collaborative. It's not competition, because I really believe we need to coordinate and work in a more regional setting. We've got to recognize that there will be some movement, and we will try to attract each other's companies. If the companies become stronger by virtue of their new location or how they've repositioned themselves, that's great. That's what we want because we want to keep the jobs we have. But we also have to recognize that we need to help create new businesses. That doesn't mean you're going to California or the East Coast to grab businesses and bring them here, but it could be folks who are here already who are trying to bring their ideas or products to market and to grow.
What I don't want to do is, I show up one day, they (the CREDC) show up the next, or vice versa, and we're stepping all over each other, and companies are going, "Gosh, who represents us?"
What can you tell us about what you're working on?
For a long time, (the city of) Camas has had this high-tech investment credit, but it's only applied to the major businesses in town. What I've been trying to do, in working with it and trying to expand it into Washougal, is have a development credit that recognizes the taxes a company pays or generates annually versus their initial development fees.
If you're willing to invest right now, you can get your impact fees deferred — it's a negotiated process for either city — for three or five years. What we're working on is also during that deferral period, looking at the tax (revenues) that are generated (by a company), and if a certain threshold is reached, then offsetting a portion of that impact fee bill.
Bonnie Moore (CREDC's director of business services) and I have been working on this idea to create some type of business accelerator program where you're accelerating a product to market or business to market. My personal and professional belief is that there's room for probably three (business accelerator programs). We have three ports, and so I look at it as having a program in east county, one in the west side, and you could have one in north county.
What books are you reading?
There's a book called "Boomerang" (by Michael Lewis), and it's about the collapse of the capital markets. It looks at Iceland, it looks at Ireland, the U.S. It looks at how out of touch the capital markets were before the crash.
What's your favorite movie?
I've actually seen quite a few movies. It depends. If I'm with the kids, then usually it's a kids movie. "Captain America," that's a great movie. That was actually well done. I've always liked "Captain America," too, as a kid even.

Road trip season is upon us, and it's prime time for thieves to be on the loose as well. According to claim data from the folks at Travelers Insurance, 44-percent of ID fraud cases happen when a purse or wallet has been lost or stolen. Here are some tips for travelers to protect themselves from identity theft.
Watch your wallet and purse – many people store personal information in their purses and wallets, which makes it easier for thieves to commit identity fraud. Secure your identity by keeping your purse and wallet in a safe place and carrying only essentials when you go out. Leave any credit cards you will not be using on the trip in a secure place at home. Unless absolutely necessary, avoid carrying Social Security cards, birth certificates or passports, which contain key pieces of personal information thieves could use to steal your identity.
Keep a careful eye on your credit – according to Travelers' data, nearly half of ID fraud cases are committed using the victim's current accounts. Review your credit report and bank statements regularly to monitor your accounts, and take these extra precautions:
· Make a list of all your credit card and bank account information, and store the list in a secure place, such as on a password protected flash drive or in a fire-proof safe. Include account numbers, expiration dates, credit limits and phone numbers or emails of the customer service and fraud departments. If your card is missing or stolen, you will then be able to quickly notify your credit card provider to prevent fraudulent charges.
· Review your credit report and notify the credit bureaus of any mistakes. The government gives consumers the right to receive one free copy of their credit report every 12 months from each of the three main credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion). Order one report from a different bureau every four months to see credit activity throughout the year.

Radical prostatectomy has a negative impact on prostate cancer patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Social support may help patients adjust to their situation after surgery. We investigated patients' accounts of received social support as well as their spouses' accounts of provided social support as predictors of patients' HRQoL 6 months after surgery. Moreover, we tested whether
patients with lower HRQoL at 2 weeks after surgery had the most benefit from spousal support. A total of 77 patients (M61.57 years, SD6.03) and their spouses (M58.46 years, SD7.52) completed questionnaires at 2 weeks and 6 months after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Received
social support, spousal provided social support, and HRQoL were assessed 2 weeks after surgery, and HRQoL was assessed again 6 months later. Patients with lower HRQoL at 2 weeks after surgery benefited more from the receipt and their partners' provision of support in terms of HRQoL 6 months
later than patients with a higher HRQoL at the beginning. Assessing patients' HRQoL might be one method to identify those individuals who are in special need of support from their spouses.

Federal health officials issued a Level 1 health watch for travelers to and from the Philippines, citing that country's measles outbreak as a source of disease among unvaccinated children in the U.S.
Measles (also called rubeola) is a highly contagious virus that can spread through the air from person to person. It can be serious, even fatal for small children.
There has been a recent resurgence of measles since the year 2000 when the disease was nearly eliminated by vaccine prevention efforts.
In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 189 people had contracted measles—the largest number of annual cases in the U.S. since 2000.
Now—in only the first two months of 2014—at least 53 people in 10 states have been infected.
"Part of the problem is vaccine hesitancy," said Matthew Zahn, M.D., Medical Director of Epidemiology at the Orange County Health Care Agency.
A growing number of parents in the U.S. forgo the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine for their children because of an alleged connection between vaccines and autism.
"There is no scientific basis for such a connection," said Zahn. "It's been repeatedly disproved."
Still, efforts to educate parents about vaccines are falling short, according to an article published online March 3 and in the April print issue of Pediatrics.
"Many primary care pediatricians find vaccine hesitancy to be one of the most frustrating situations that they face," noted the authors.
"Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children implicitly call into question an intervention that most pediatricians see as one of the safest and most effective health care interventions of all time."
Further complicating the debate, the CDC now has issued a measles-related health watch for travel to the Philippines.
According to the Department of Health of the Philippines, 1,163 cases of measles and a number of deaths were reported in the Southeast Asian country during the first two weeks of 2014.
In Orange County, California, health officials have confirmed four cases of measles so far this year.
"At least one of these cases did involve travel to the Philippines," said Zahn. "In California and the U.S., part of the issue is travel to and from the Philippines."
The World Health Organization and the Philippines Department of Health are working to control the outbreak, including conducting outbreak response vaccination activities.
The CDC recommends that travelers to the Philippines protect themselves by making sure they're properly vaccinated against measles.
"If you have not been vaccinated, get two doses of the MMR vaccine," said Zahn. "There's no risk. It's 99% effective. If you've already been vaccinated, the protection is lifelong."
Zahn notes that for those who don't remember if they've been vaccinated for measles, "there's no harm in getting an extra dose. It's never a bad thing."

A friend taught me how to post my email address without being attacked by spambots. The trick is to post it as a graphic like this: You'll have to type it to email me, but at least it's better than not posting it. (If you're a spambot, here is a "gift". Anti Spam)
Please take a moment to read my article on ecstasy (MDMA, X, XTC) toxicity. You can find the link to it at the bottom of the Drugs page. I'm concerned about the long-term effects on kids poisoning themselves at raves so I have tried to write a layman's article explaining how ecstasy causes cumulative brain damage. If you know anyone who is using ecstasy, please pass them the link..

Baseball Completes Sweep Of Butler, 5-0
May 8, 2004
Chicago, Ill. - University of Illinois at Chicago junior southpaw Tom Szalewski tossed a complete-game, two-hit, shutout to help the Flames complete the doubleheader sweep with the 5-0 Horizon League victory over Butler in the nightcap at Les Miller Field on Saturday afternoon.
UIC won the opener by a score of 9-2.
Szalewski struck out four batters on the afternoon and improves to 4-1 on the season. Both of Butler's hits were of the infield variety.
With the victory, UIC improves to 30-15 overall and 11-4 in Horizon League action, while the Bulldogs fall to 21-23 on the campaign and 8-7 in conference play.
Butler starter Randy Miles (5-3) took the complete-game, loss for the Bulldogs, allowing five runs and five hits, while striking out three batters.
UIC took advantage of Miles' wildness in the first inning as he issued three free passes and a pair of wild pitches during the frame.
The Flames received RBI singles from Ted Rosinski, Nelson Gord and J.P. Moran and scored a run on a passed ball by Butler catcher Joe Dempsey, giving UIC the 4-0 lead after one inning.
UIC tacked on an insurance run in the fourth inning, as junior centerfielder Shane Crowder connected for a two-out triple and stole home, extending the Flames lead to 5-0. That marked the first time that the Flames have stolen home, since J.P. Carey swiped home against UW-Milwaukee on May 18, 2002.
Both teams will be back in action tomorrow for the series finale, with the first pitch slated for 12:05 p.m.

Commonwealth Orthopaedics: Stress Fractures
01.25.2013 / Blog Posts Health and Wellness
AP Photo
One of the most common injuries in sports is a stress fracture.
If you've started a New Year's resolution to exercise more, you may be prone to a stress fracture if you increase your activity too quickly. Categorized as an overuse injury, stress fractures occur with bone overloading and muscle fatigue such that they are unable to absorb added shock. Eventually, the overloaded bone develops a tiny crack called a stress fracture.
Stress fractures often are the result of increasing the amount or intensity of an activity too rapidly. They also can be caused by the ... Read More

For the past couple weeks, we have been bombarded by the annual chit-chat concerning New Year resolutions. What I found interesting this year, added to all the sobering statistics of how resolutions don't work, is the fact that the amount of people making New Year resolutions in the first place is at an all-time low, suggesting people are "giving up" before they even begin.
I heard a reporter explain that the problem with New Year resolutions is they are too much like a diet but she did ... Read More

UA faces a Big Sky opponent for the second consecutive year and third time in the last four - Northern Arizona fit that role previously - and won both games by an average of 12 points ... All-time, UA is 102-32 (.761) against Big Sky members ... Idaho State and Arizona meet on the hardwood for the eighth time in series history, but the first since 1979-80 ... The first two weeks of the 2010-11 season will be a hectic fortnight, as the Wildcats will play six games in the first 13 days ... Today's contest also opens the 107th season of Arizona basketball, and the 39th in McKale Center.
THE RANKINGS: Arizona was not included in either the Associated Press or ESPN/USA Today Coaches preseason poll. It marks just the fourth time in the last 24 seasons that Arizona will open the year unranked.
ARIZONA HEAD COACH Sean Miller . . . begins his second season at the University of Arizona and his seventh overall as a college head coach with a record of 136-62 (.687) and 16-15 (.516) at Arizona ... Appointed April 7, 2009, Miller came to Tucson after five successful years at Xavier University, where he amassed four 20-win seasons and four NCAA Tournament appearances ... His clubs won the last three Atlantic 10 regular season championships (2007-09) and the 2006 Atlantic 10 postseason tournament title ... During his time at XU, the Musketeers won better than 71 percent of their conference games, including an .813 winning percentage (39-9) in his last three seasons ...

Since becoming a head coach, all 17 players to complete eligibility under Miller have earned their degrees ... A standout guard for the University of Pittsburgh (1987-92), Miller was the Big East Freshman of the Year in 1988, won a gold medal on the 1991 U.S. World University Games team and was a member of his alma mater's all-centennial team in 2005 ... Miller, 41, earned a degree in communications from Pitt in 1992 ... He is assisted by Archie Miller, Emanuel Richardson and James Whitford.
LAST TIME OUT: Led by Derrick Williams' 19 points and six rebounds, Arizona posted a 70-59 exhibition win over Augustana College, Nov. 7, in McKale Center. The Cats opened the game with a trey 45 seconds in and never trailed. Arizona shot 45.8 percent from the field (22-of-48), limited Augustana to 39.0 percent accuracy (23-of-59) and attempted 26 more free throws than the visiting Vikings. All 10 Wildcats to see action scored and all logged double-figure minutes. Kyle Fogg chipped in with 11 points of his own.
SCOUTING IDAHO STATE: Coach Joe O'Brien returns one starter and four letterwinners from last season's squad that went 7-22 and finished in eighth place in the Big Sky Conference. ISU opens the season Friday at Colorado. Broderick Gilcrest and Kenny McGowen combined to average 37 points in the Bengals' two exhibition games - a 92-79 win over Montana State-Billings on Nov. 2, and a 75-71 loss to Carroll College on Nov. 6. The Bengals allowed opponents to shoot 48.1 percent (52-of-108) from the floor and 43.9 percent (18-of-41) from three-point range.
THE SERIES: This afternoon's contest is the eighth meeting of the two schools with Idaho State holding a 4-3 series advantage, though Arizona has won three of the last four. The teams first met Dec. 20, 1958, an 86-58 ISU win in Pocatello, but have only met once (1979-80) since Arizona joined the Pac-10, an 89-83 UA win. All-time, Arizona is 3-1 in series games played in Tucson, 0-2 in Pocatello, Idaho, and 0-1 in neutral-site games.
LAST MEETING: Arizona 89, Idaho State 83, Dec. 15, 1979: Joe Nehls tallied 20 of his game-high 27 points in the second half and John Belobraydic added 16 points and 13 rebounds as Arizona pulled away in the second half for the six-point win. Arizona collected eight steals, forced 21 Bengal turnovers and mustered 12 more field goal attempts in the contest to offset 52.5 percent shooting (31-of-59) by Idaho State, including 57.1 percent shooting in the second half. The contest featured 15 ties and 13 lead changes.
FOR OPENERS: Arizona has a record of 82-21 (.796) in season openers (results are unavailable for four seasons - 1905-06, 1908-09. 1909-10, 1911-12), including a 21-4 (.840) ,mark in the previous 25 seasons. All-time, the Cats are 63-12 at home, 10-9 on the road and 9-0 in neutral-site games.
HOME SWEET HOME: Sean Miller continued a streak in his UA debut last season, an 87-70 win over Northern Arizona on Nov. 15, as the Wildcats have won eight consecutive home openers. The last time Arizona lost a home opener came on Dec. 1, 2001, in a 105-97 loss to No. 8 Kansas. Prior to that, Arizona hadn't dropped a home opener since the start of the 1992-93 season.
ANOTHER STREAK WORTH CONTINUING: Sean Miller begins his seventh season as a college head coach today, and in those previous six years he has never lost a season opener. He was a spotless 5-0 in season debuts while at Xavier and won his Arizona opener, 87-70, over Northern Arizona last year. Miller has built that streak in convincing fashion, winning those six games by an average of 27.5 points. Additionally, no game has been closer than 11 points - a 69-58 victory over Oakland on Nov. 19, 2004, in Miller's head coaching debut.
BACK AT IT: The Wildcats return 11 letterwinners from last season's club. Statistically speaking, the Cats bring back 79.5 percent of the scoring (1,773 of 2,229), 89.4 percent of the rebounding (949 of 1,062) and 83.2 percent of the minutes played (5,282 of 6,350) registered a year ago.
IN NOVEMBER: Fast starts have become a regular occurrence for the Wildcats. The program is a cumulative 67-20 (.770) in the month of November over the last 26 seasons. Those numbers are even more impressive considering the strength of the opposition, as nearly one-third of those foes (28 of 87) were nationally ranked at the time of the game. In those contests, Arizona is 18-10 (.643).
CLAMPING DOWN: In working for an 11-point win Sunday, Arizona held Augustana to just 59 points (20.1 points below its scoring average from last year) and limited the Vikings to just 39.0 percent shooting (23-of-59), including 6-of-23 (.261) marksmanship from three-point range. The Cats held Augustana to just 31.0 percent shooting (9-of-29) in the second half. Last season, Arizona held 10 of its opponents to less than 40 percent shooting and was 8-2 when doing so.
A LEADING INDICATOR: Despite the seemingly narrow 11-point margin of victory, it's worth noting that Arizona never trailed in the 70-59 win over Augustana (there were two first-half ties). Additionally, Arizona held a double-figure lead for a total of 12:55, including the final 11:44.
MARKED IMPROVEMENT: Led by forward Derrick Williams, who tallied two blocked shots, Arizona amassed five blocks in last Sunday's win. Reality says it was an exhibition game, but it was a step in the right direction for a club that averaged 2.5 blocks per game a year ago. Last season, Arizona registered more than five blocks in a single game just three times in 2009-10.
BALANCE THE EQUATION: One thing that was nice to see in the exhibition was the fact that much of the UA effort was balanced. Of the 10 players to see action, every one played 11 minutes or more, each tallied at least two points, and each grabbed at least one rebound.
ON THE GLASS: Bolstered by four players with five or more rebounds, Arizona posted a 39-32 rebounds advantage in the Nov. 7 exhibition win. Derrick Williams (6), Alex Jacobson (6), Jamelle Horne (5) and Kevin Parrom (5) helped Arizona with the rebound battle in each half. The +7 rebound margin is an improvement over last year's -0.1 figure. How important is the rebound margin? Over the last five seasons, Arizona is a cumulative 56-25 (.691) when outrebounding the opposition - a percentage that is 10.1 percentage points higher than the program's overall winning percentage in that same span.
MAKING POSITIVE STRIDES: Sophomore forward Solomon Hill continues to show an improved and evolving game. Sunday vs. Augustana, the 6-foot-6 native of Los Angeles, Calif., tallied an efficient seven points (3-of-5 FG), four rebounds, five assists (corrected postgame) and three steals in 28 minutes.
JACOBSON STEPS UP: Junior center Alex Jacobson put forth a nice effort in the exhibition game, posting two points and six boards in 13 minutes. The seven-footer from Santa Ana, calif., shared game-high honors on the boards. Entering this season, Jacobson is averaging 1.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 43 career appearances.
AN UNBIASED OPINION: According to media members who regularly cover the league, Arizona was picked to finish second in this season's Pacific-10 Conference race. The Wildcats received 296 points and one first-place vote, trailing only Washington. It's the highest preseason predicted finish for the Cats since 2006-07, and the 296 points earned is the most since 2005-06. Historically speaking, Arizona has been the preseason favorite 11 times in the last 21 years.
A STEP UP: Sophomore Derrick Williams isn't going to sneak up on anyone a year after earning Pac-10 Freshman-of-the-Year kudos. A handful of publications have tabbed the 6-foot-8 native of La Mirada, Calif., a first-team all-conference pick at season's end, while four publications, Sporting News, cnnsi.com, Lindy's Sports Annual and ESPN magazine, have predicted that Williams will be the Pac-10's player of the year.
DOUBLE FIGURES ON THE NEXT LEVEL: Ten former Arizona men's basketball players were on active National Basketball Association rosters, as the league opened the 2010-11 season Oct. 26. The list of players includes Gilbert Arenas (Washington Wizards), Jerryd Bayless (New Orleans Hornets), Mike Bibby (Atlanta Hawks), Chase Budinger (Houston Rockets), Channing Frye (Phoenix Suns), Jordan Hill (Houston Rockets), Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76ers), Richard Jefferson (San Antonio Spurs), Jason Terry (Dallas Mavericks) and Luke Walton (Los Angeles Lakers). Arizona is tied for seventh nationally in terms of active NBA player production. There have been at least eight former Cats in the NBA in each of the last 11 seasons with 10 or more in eight of those campaigns.
CONFERENCE FOOTPRINT: Bolstered by a combined 24 players from Arizona (10) and UCLA (14), the Pacific-10 Conference has 48 former players currently playing in the National Basketball Association, a figure that ranks fourth nationally among NCAA Division I athletic leagues. Here is a look at the top six conferences: 1.) Atlantic Coast, 56; 2.) Big East, 54; 3.) Big 12, 51; 4.) Pac-10, 48; 5.) Southeastern, 40; and 6.) Big Ten, 29.
UP NEXT: The Wildcats return to action on Thursday, Nov. 18, when the team hosts New Mexico State. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MST and will be televised by FS Arizona.

Robicelli's Now Baking Brownies and Whoopie Pies
The feverishly followed cupcake purveyor is offering its full line of treats at the new Sons of Essex.
Cupcake purveyors Robicelli's haven't had a brick-and-mortar shop in several years, to the chagrin of their feverish fans, who are forced to chance it at the coffee shops around town that stock the treats. Well, no more: Allison Robicelli writes to tell us that the new Sons of Essex on the LES "has our ENTIRE LINE. They're essentially the Manhattan outpost of our store" (the night spot has a bakery in front). Robicelli also reports that she and her husband have branched from cupcakes to whoopie pies and brownies, which are "selling out faster than we can make them" and for that reason, are only available for now at Sons of Essex. So maybe whoopie pies are the new cupcake?

Over at McCall Manor, Holly spotted this handsome bookcase on–you guessed it–the side of the road! Believe it or not, all that glass was completely intact!
Holly was delighted with this find, especially since she'd been waiting to try painting with milk paint for the first time on furniture that she wouldn't mind experimenting with. This cabinet was perfect! She cut new shelves for the inside, and painted the whole thing with Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in the color "Ironstone." Once the paint dried, Holly chipped off some of the paint and sanded it in other places to give it a well-worn, distressed finish. She filled the cabinet with keepsakes and other special items. What a neat place to keep and display loved objects!

Three million Windows 8/RT tablets were shipped in the first quarter
Apple's iPad rules the roost
TABLET UPSTART Microsoft managed to capture 7.5 percent of the global 'branded' tablet market in the first three months of the year.
The use of a tiled interface in Windows 8/RT was intended to make the operating system easier to use with touchscreen devices, and despite largely negative feedback Microsoft seems to have captured a piece of the tablet market.
According to research firm Strategy Analytics, devices running Windows 8/RT accounted for 7.5 percent of total shipped tablet market, or three million units, in the first three months of 2013.
Strategy Analytics' market figures result in a total of three million tablets sold, which in isolation might seem trivial but compared to devices running Apple's iOS and Android, it stacks up fairly well. The firm's figures put Apple's iPad range of tablets as the market leaders with 48.2 percent of the pie, shipping a total of 19.5m units, while branded devices running Google's Android mobile operating system accounted for 43.4 percent of the market, or 17.6m units.
Given that Apple's iPad range is seen as the established benchmark, Microsoft and its partners should perhaps not be too unhappy with the sales performance of tablets running Windows 8/RT. However Strategy Analytics' figures also serve to highlight just how much work Microsoft has to do both in terms of development work and marketing if it is to have any chance of taking serious market share away from devices running rival operating systems.
Strategy Analytics said that if so-called white box tablets were taken into account, Android tablets would account for 52 percent of the market and overtake Apple. Nevertheless what the firm's figures show is that Apple's range of iPads is either barely leading the market or already behind Android devices, despite having the iPad Mini competing with many 7in Android tablets.
For Microsoft the question this year is whether its Windows 8/RT tablets can steal market share from Android and iOS devices once those who need Windows tablets for business purposes make their purchases. µ

Texas Tech Signee Lynn Kiro Playing Well In South Africa
Texas Tech signee Lynn Kiro is shining in her native South Africa.
December 11, 2012
POTCHEFSTROOM, South Africa – Texas Tech signee Lynn Kiro advanced to the semifinals of the women's $10,000 ITF Potchefstroom Tournament held at the Fanie du Toit Sports Stadium held on the campus of North West University.
Kiro defeated ATP No. 478 Anastasia Kharchenko of the Ukraine, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 and then topped No. 768 Lea Tholey of France, 6-0, 6-3. Kiro then lost to No. 492 Keren Shlomo of Israel, 6-1, 7-5 in the semifinals of the event.
Kiro teamed with Zarah Razafimahatratra of Madagascar to cruise to the finals of the doubles competition. The unseeded duo topped No. 3 tandem of Vavara Kuznetsova and Lena Specht, 6-3, 6-1 and followed that with a straight-set 6-1, 6-1 win over Americans Stephanie Kent and Casey Robinson to advance to the semifinals.
Kiro and Razafimahatratra then topped Madrie LeRoux and Chanel Simmonds in a super tiebreaker, 6-2, 1-6, 1-0 (12-10) to advance to the finals. The duo just came up short in the final, falling to No. 1-seeded Kim-Alice Grajdek and Keren Shlomo, 2-6, 6-4, 1-0 (10-8).
Kiro is currently ranked No. 168 in the world by the ITF, but could see that ranking climb after her recent performance.

Beyond a simple Republican onslaught, 2010 has been shaping up as one of those "throw out the rascals" years when being an incumbent is far from a good thing. The latest poll shows that is not the case in Pennsylvania's 15th District.
The poll, completed for the Dent campaign by the Alexandria, VA.-based Tarrance Group on January 19-20, shows Dent with a sizable 26 point lead among likely voters. The poll, of 300 likely registered voters carries a 5.8 percent margin of error. Even if you discount the fact that the poll was taken for Dent (pollsters always seem to skew their polls in favor of whom they are being paid by) and if you take into account the margin of error, this is not good news for Callahan.
The poll shows Dent at 53 percent and Callahan at 27. Callahan is actually closer to third-party candidate Jake Towne than to Dent. Towne has 8%. As Towne is to the right of Dent, one assumes that he pulls more support from Dent than Callahan. With that in mind and with 12% undecided, Dent's strength right now is actually as great as when he trounced Sam Bennett in 2008.
Towne's showing is pretty remarkable, not because there isn't a lot of similar sentiment among voters (I followed a car today with bumper stickers that read "Audit the Fed" and "My Pekapoo is smarter than your President.") but because he hasn't yet been able to get his name out that widely.
When you figure that 35% or so of the voters would vote for bin Laden if he were the Democratic candidate, Callahan pulling 27% is almost unheard of.
Both Sam and John were hand-picked because they had hit-the-ground-running name recognition. The poll would seem to suggest otherwise. And, Dent usually picks up steam as he campaigns. He is a great debater and relates to his audiences. One wonders if the Democrats who have a fair amount of national money set aside for this race won't look to another district to mount a stand.
Dent captures 9 out of 10 Republicans. He also picks off one out of 4 Democrats, negating the large margin the Democrats have in voter registration. On top of that, Dent has a wide lead among independents. Throw in the fact that experts expect turnout to favor the GOP this year and you may have the beginnings of a rout.
I also would suggest that just as we saw last week in Massachusetts, a moderate Republican, like Dent, who can attract independents and moderate Democrats, is likely to do very well this year. One hopes that the national party learns that over time.
Tory Mazzola, the National Republican Campaign Committee spokesperson was quick to highlight the poll. "If Washington Democrats still think Rahm's hand-picked candidate John Callahan is one of their best bets, then I've got a ticket to sell them for Martha Coakley's U.S. Senate swearing in ceremony. Charlie Dent is in a very strong position because Eastern Pennsylvanians know he is an independent voice fighting for jobs, limited government and less spending, while Callahan's record speaks for itself – he's a tax-and-spend Pelosi liberal," Mazzola wrote.
The campaign is just starting. Election day is 10 months off but the poll shows what many have been saying off-the-record for a while now and that is that Dent should win re-election handily.

Bounce House Overcrowding
Bounce houses are top-selling entertainment products, year in and year out. This is due, at least in part, to their remarkable accessibility, appealing to friends and family members of all ages and in all locations. Because of this, any party or event where you set up any inflatable device is sure to attract many guests; the bounce house itself will no doubt be remembered as one of the most memorable parts of the day. However, make sure that those supervising the day's events can stay responsible, and not allow an excessive amount of people to enter the bounce house simultaneously. Too many people in the same bounce house at once risks overcrowding the inflatable device.
"Overcrowding" basically means filling up your inflatable bounce house with more people than it can support. An extreme amount of people in the same bounce house jumping around at once will almost certainly cause your inflatable device to pop. The negative effects of overcrowding are very noticeable and can be clearly spotted by anyone at the party. You will begin to see the walls of the bouncer bend and sag under the added pressure. There may even be a greater strain on the blower to keep the device properly inflated. In addition to the risk of the walls of your inflatable device bursting in multiple places, the guests using the bounce house also put themselves at risk. If there are too many people bouncing at the same time, the likelihood of them accidentally colliding or slamming into each other significantly rises. In fact, it becomes all but inevitable. Any limitations on weight, height, and occasionally age can clearly be found on the product's web page or in its instructional manual.
It is the job of whoever is supervising the day's events to make sure that overcrowding does not become a problem at any point during the day's events. This can be accomplished in many ways, one of which includes placing someone at the entrance of the bounce house. They would be responsible for allowing people in and out of the bouncer, in addition to monitoring the activity of those inside the bounce house to make sure that the bouncing does not get out of hand.
Now, no one is forcing users to step on a scale before entering, or flat-out rejecting and banning them from bouncing for the day. Anyone who wants to bounce and jump around will have the chance to do so. To accommodate everyone at a larger-than-average size event, consider having the guests take turns using the bounce house so that everyone gets a fair amount of time leaping and soaring through the air. Have at least one supervising adult keep track of time. Every so often, switch the guests inside of the bouncer with those that have been waiting for a long time, or allow certain times during the day for older, larger guests to use the bounce house one or two at a time. Having a rough outline for a schedule will allow everyone to have the chance of bouncing, and is a definite step in the right direction to avoid overcrowding and bursting walls.
No trackbacks yet.

Are you frustrated because you don't understand apparent Bible contradictions? Or is someone you know seeking God but hesitant to believe because they're not convinced of biblical inerrancy? Find explanations for perceived Bible contradictions or errors from a variety of sources including Focus on the Family. These helpful insights will strengthen your faith and give you links to share with others who are dealing with Bible difficulties.
The topic of dinosaurs in the Bible is part of a larger ongoing debate within the Christian community over the age of the earth, the proper interpretation of Genesis, and how to interpret the physical evidences we find all around us. (read more)
Bible contradictions -- the alleged inaccuracies and errors that fill today's Bible translations -- are a major intellectual barrier for many skeptics. It's remarkable how many critics refer to their "list" of contradictions when they reject the Bible, but have never read the Bible itself. Of course, if the Bible does contain inaccuracies, it would show that those parts of scripture could not have come from a Divine source. However, it's very convenient to accuse the Bible of errors and contradictions, but it's a different matter to prove it. (read more)
"The Bible is full of contradictions."
So say many critics of God's Word. When asked to provide examples, however, critics often reveal a gross misunderstanding of the writers' purposes, according to Douglas S. Huffman, a contributor to In Defense of the Bible: A Comprehensive Apologetic for the Authority of Scripture.
While alleged contradictions come in many forms, one of the most common is that of misplaced expectations; that is, critics approach the Bible from angles that are foreign to the author's intent. (read more)
One issue that is often raised against Christianity is Noah's Ark and the Flood. Did it really happen? Did the flood really cover the whole world? Is there enough water on earth to cover all the land? Could the ark really hold two of every kind of animal in the world? Though these might be intimidating questions, the answer to each is a resounding, "Yes." (read more)
At first blush, the genealogies of Matthew and Luke appear to be contradictory. In reality, the genealogies are ingeniously constructed to highlight different aspects of the person and work of Jesus Christ. (read more)
Is the Bible inspired? Christians claim it is. If that is so, then where is the evidence for its inspiration? Simply saying it is inspired isn't enough. Let's see some facts.
First of all, we must understand the inspiration of the Bible is in reference to the original documents, not the copies. Christianity holds that the original writings, the autographs, were without error in everything they address. It is not the copies that are inspired. What we have are copies of inspired documents and the truth is, some copying errors have woven themselves into some of the biblical copies. However, this does not mean that the Bible is not trustworthy. (read more)
Bible difficulties, or apparent Bible contradictions, exist. The opponents of Christianity often use them in their attempts to discredit Christianity. (read more)
Bible Difficulties · Genesis--Deuteronomy · Joshua--Esther · Job--Song of Solomon · Isaiah--Malachi · Matthew--Mark · Luke, John, and Acts. (read more)
Although the Bible contains sixty-six books written over thousands of years, it shows remarkable consistency. Here, we examine some of the supposed contradictions that have been offered to disprove the Bible. (read more)
Theologically liberal approaches to the Bible often simply accept contradictions as part of a flawed record. But if the Bible is God's Word, and if God is all knowing and all powerful, it stands to reason we should be able to trust the Bible. (read more)

Soft Drinks and Sugar Negatively Affect Kidney Health
Based on several studies, researchers have found that the consumption of soft drinks and sugar contribute greatly to obesity, which could then lead to several health complications, such as high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. In two new studies to be presented this week, researchers reported that a diet including soft drinks and soda contributes negatively to kidney health.

- Researchers Find Gene Responsible for Kidney Disease Progression in African-Americans
In the first study, the research team was headed by Ryohei Yamamoto, MD, Ph.D. from the Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan. The researchers looked at three groups of university employees who all had normal kidney function and collected data on their daily intake levels for soft drinks and sugar. In the first group of 3,579 people, 301 of them or 8.4 percent developed proteinuria, which is an indicator of renal dysfunction. In the second group of 3,055 people, 272 of them, 8.9 percent, developed proteinuria. The last group was made up of 1, 342 people and 144 (10.7 percent) of them had kidney dysfunction. The average median follow-up was 2.9 years. The research team concluded that people who drank at least two soft drinks per day had a higher change of developing proteinuria.
In the other study, the research team was headed by Agustin Gonzalez-Vicente from the Case Western Reserve University. Gonzalez-Vicente and colleagues used rat models to examine the effects of fructose consumption on kidney function. The researchers found that rats that were given fructose had kidneys that were sensitive to angiotensin II, which is a protein that regulates salt. The kidneys ended up reabsorbing more salt, which researchers believe is partly responsible for the development of health conditions, such as kidney failure, hypertension, obesity and diabetes.
Both studies stress the importance of maintaining a healthy diet. The studies will be presented at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2013, which takes place from Nov. 5 to Nov. 10 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.

These cotton gloves fit very well – the material is soft and flexible. They have a Velcro fastening around the wrists, which is easy to use, and keeps them secure. The gloves were excellent and gave good grip on the reins during the wet and dry. They're ideal for summer as they're thin and lightweight, which keeps your hands cool. However, they did show wear quite quickly.
I found the gloves excellent value for money and although they show wear, at £2.50 they can be replaced easily. I would buy and recommend these gloves.

Nine Inch Nails' set at Austin City Limits will premiere April 5 on PBS as a prelude to the series' 40th anniversary season. The show was filmed last November, making it their first ever set for Austin City Limits.
During a recent AMA Reznor spoke more about the event: "I have a lot of respect for ACL and I wanted us to be a guest on THEIR show, not to convert their show into our concert. It was unusual to perform in that environment, and ended up being one of the best shows I think we played."
After it's television premiere, fans can catch the performance online on the show's website. The episode will also re-air to kick off the 40th season this fall.
Reznor caused an uproar after The 2014 Grammy's cut his performance short. The next day he sent out a tweet saying "Music's biggest night. . . to be disrespected. A heartfelt F*** YOU guys."
Nine Inch Nails are currently touring over in Japan and will hit Australia, Europe, and Latin America during Spring and Summer. Their current album "Hesitation Marks" is out now. To get your copy make sure to visit their website.

Garland Kingsley "Bud" Franklin
81, Carmel, man of God, beloved husband and father, went peacefully to his heavenly home on November 23, 2011.
Born December 26, 1929, in Elmhurst, IL and raised in Emmalena, Kentucky. He was a star basketball player during his high school years and loved watching basketball throughout his life. Bud entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis after graduation. His career began at the Union Carbide Stellite Division in Kokomo, IN, in 1952. There he held various positions but soon became involved in Personnel Relations, the path he would stay on throughout his career. He moved his family to Stamford, Connecticut in 1964 to work for Union Carbide Corporate in Organizational Development. His career would include PR Mallory (Indianapolis, IN), Dart Industries (Los Angeles, CA), Kraft Inc, (Chicago, IL), and Hobart Industries (Dayton, OH), eventually retiring in 1992 from Duracell (Danbury, CT) as Vice President of Human Resources. Bud was a Sunday school teacher, basketball coach and was involved in Christian community work. But most of all, Bud was a humble and generous man, who dearly loved and cared for his entire family.
Bud married Joanne Shaw in 2001, and their continued love for each other carried them through to the end of Bud's life. They attended East 91st St Christian Church.
Bud was preceded in death by his parents Rev. Garland and Ellenore Franklin, and his sister Rosie Hearing. He is survived by his brothers David Franklin, Dean Franklin and Dick Franklin. Bud is also survived by his daughters from his first marriage to Marie Franklin: Tia (Franklin) Grider and husband Glen Grider, Dr. Kim Franklin and husband Dr. Robert Warren, Cheryl (Franklin) Baertschi and husband, Dr. Steve Baertschi, grandsons, Dustin and Kyle Grider and wife Cathy, Jordan and Tristen Davis, Wade and Joey Baertschi, and great-grandson, Logan Grider. Step daughters Tori Shaw, Tami Soetenga, stepson Tim Shaw and 6 step grandchildren.
Bud's heart has always been for the people of his native roots of southeastern Kentucky and to this day is involved in the mission of Scripture Memory Mountain Mission - Camp Nathanael, Emmalena, Kentucky, established in 1932 by his mother and father.
Special gratitude is extended to the staff at Prairie Lakes Health Campus for the excellent care they provided.
A memorial service is planned for December 11th at 2:30 pm at Faith Missionary Church, 91st and College Ave, Indianapolis, IN. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Camp Nathanael, PO Drawer 129, Emmalena, KY, 41740. Arrangements entrusted to A.R.N. Cremation Services.

Recently released details into the death of a Yakima, Wash. man last week leave many questioning the police officer who mistook his disassembled airsoft gun for a real firearm. 23-year-old Rocendo Arias was inside his parked car on Sunday, January 4 when Yakima Police Officer Casey Gilette observed the "suspicious" vehicle.
According to statements from Department spokesperson Capt. Rod Light, Gilette was on a 3 a.m. routine patrol. Officer Gilette decided to approach the vehicle after "surveying the situation for one hour".
Gilette approached the vehicle in an unorthodox manner. Many police would have knocked on Arias's window to ask him why he was parked outside for that length of time. According to Light, Gilette did not announce himself, or knock on the window. Gilette swung the passenger side door open without informing the driver. After he noticed the disassembled gun, Gilette fired four shots, striking Arias once in the head.
"It appeared that he had some accessories to the handgun that he was trying to install on it or put pieces of this gun together," Capt. Light explained. The airsoft gun had a bright orange plastic tip, used to identify the item as a toy. "I believe this particular handgun had an orange tip. But based on our investigation I don't want to go into particulars and details of the position of the gun and where the officer was," Light said.
Light defended Gilette's actions, despite the toy being partially disassembled, claiming that Arias had his hand on the section containing the trigger. "The deceased had the weapon not only in his hand, but he also had his finger on the trigger," Light said.
Gilette declined to be interviewed for 48 hours after the shooting. Gilette's department opened an investigation, and Police Chief Dominic Rizzi Jr. spoke out in support of the officer's actions as well. "Based on the preliminary investigation, I absolutely stand behind the officer and his actions in the shooting that occurred," Rizzi stated.

One current, one former Miami Marlins minor leaguer suspended
Major League Baseball on Thursday announced a current and former Miami Marlins minor leaguer were suspended for violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Matt Milroy, a right-hander the Marlins drafted in the 11th round last June out of the University of Illinois, tested positive for Methylhexeanamine and will miss 50 games. Milroy was playing with short season Class-A Jamestown and in nine games (eight starts) was 2-3 with a 4.11 ERA, 23 walks and 30 strikeouts in 35 innings.
The Marlins selected Bryan Berglund in the second round of the 2009 draft out of Royal High School in Simi Valley, Calif. He didn't make his professional debut until this season because of a labrum issue. The Marlins' released Berglund, who was on the Jammers' roster, after Wednesday's game. He tested positive for Methylhexeanamine as well and will miss 50 games upon signing with a new organization. Berglund, the first Swedish citizen ever draft, made 10 relief appearances with Jamestown and logged a 3.09 ERA with nine walks and eight strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings.
