GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina University, Beasley Broadcast Eastern North Carolina and IMG College, the athletics department's multimedia rights partner, have agreed to a five-year extension of its current radio affiliation agreement with WNCT-FM/107.9 and WNCT-AM/1070 according to an announcement Monday.
Pirate football and men's basketball broadcasts, along with weekly coaches' call-in shows, will continue to be heard on Beasley's FM radio flagship in Greenville. ECU's complete 56-game regular season baseball slate and all post-season action will again air on WNCT-AM.
"We are very thankful to George Beasley and the Beasley Broadcast Group, as well as our partners at IMG, for extending our radio agreement for an additional five years," East Carolina Director of Athletics Jeff Compher said. "Beasley has long been considered a leader in radio broadcasting throughout the country, and continuing this relationship gives our loyal and passionate fans a powerful and reliable way to stay connected to the Pirates."
The five-year extension builds on a successful agreement announced in 2008 when WNCT-FM lent its powerful 100,000-watt signal to ECU sports, extending coverage in the west to Raleigh, north to southern Virginia, and up and down the North Carolina coastline. WNCT-AM will continue to deliver Pirate baseball to fans via a strong 50,000-watt station.
"I have always believed that WNCT-FM is the one area station that should have close ties with the University, promoting special events and covering many aspects of this great school which continues to be one of eastern North Carolina's greatest assets," said George G. Beasley, who serves as CEO & Chairman of the Board of the Beasley Broadcast Group. "This renewal is certainly in the best interest of all parties, especially now as we all try to enhance the growth of ECU's athletics program during its transition to new conference membership."

Before you proudly go posting photos of your Ming vase online, you should be aware that computer-savvy burglars can likely use that photo to find out where you live. The same goes for photos or videos of your kids, yourself, or anything else that you don't want strangers knowing how to locate. The practice of tracking people via their posted images is an example of "cybercasing", and is possible because many digital cameras and smart phones, including the iPhone, automatically geotag their images by embedding the longitude and latitude at which they were taken. Even when uploaded to a website, the images still retain this information. By plugging the coordinates into a service like Google Street View, getting an address or an identifying landmark is entirely possible.Read More
A new business-class laptop has just made an unannounced appearance on Dell's U.S. product pages. The Latitude E4310 ultraportable laptop will be available in a choice of Core i5 processors, the option of HDD or SSD storage as well as up to 8GB of memory, a backlit keyboard and multi-touch trackpad, 7-in1 card reader and fingerprint reader.Read More
Dell continues to expand its Latitude range by revealing a 12.1-inch rugged convertible tablet PC with a multi-touch display - the Latitude XT2 XFR. The company says this PC is designed to meet the unique and demanding needs of customers in the military, police, border patrol, field service organizations, factory fulfilment and first responders. At only 1.5 inches thick (38.1mm) this rugged 12.1-inch convertible tablet weighs 5.4lbs (2.45kg) and adds to Dell's Rugged Mobility Solution offering that includes the fully rugged Latitude E6400 XFR and the semi-rugged Latitude E6400 ATG laptops.

Dell's latest addition to its Latitude series of laptops, the Latitude Z, has a number of 'firsts' the company is hoping will convince consumers to choose it over a plethora of other brands and models. Dell says its Latitude Z is the world's first 16-inch laptop that is less than an inch thick and also the first laptop with wireless docking and inductive charging (wireless power - no more cords to trip over or lose). The inclusion of Dell's EdgeTouch allows users to operate commonly used applications and media controls through a touch interface on the screen's bezel, while Dell's Latitude ON technology delivers instant, interactive access to email, the Web, contacts, attachments and calendars.

Vanity… It's a start, but how will you finish?
No doubt we all want to look better in our swim suit, in a wedding dress or in no clothes at all. In many cases this desire drives people to start going to the gym, eating better or even venture into the local CrossFit box. With the best of intentions we start into a routine of exercise and sensible eating. Typically we give it a good 3-6 months of quality effort, I am being generous here, see some results and feel pretty good about ourselves. Unfortunately that is where it ends in most cases. Vanity itself is too superficial to keep us motivated to accept a lifetime of health and fitness. It can be a start, but in no way is it ever the end. There is good reason; there should be no end to health and fitness. It needs to be a lifetime pursuit. The question then becomes, "What's the motivation?" How do we talk ourselves into grilling free range chicken and laying it over an organic green salad with olive oil and avocado when the Dominos guy is on speed dial and that fully loaded pie goes great with the beer and NBA Finals game you are about flip on the TV?
I don't have all the answers but I can share with you my experience, which started with vanity. Almost four years ago after my daughter was born I saw myself in a photo holding her in the swimming pool and I was revolted by what I saw. That coupled with my brother's wedding six months away in Puerto Vallarta I decided to make a change. I was going to get ripped! I played sports throughout high school and college I knew what needed to be done. Eating right and exercise were in my foreseeable future. I hit my vanity goals, by the end of the year I was in good shape for my brother's wedding. I remember thinking after the wedding, "I want to keep this thing going!" At that moment I realized something was different this time, it wasn't just about me. I want to be a good role model for my daughter I want her to understand that good nutrition and an active lifestyle are important. I continued to pursue health and fitness, only now it was different, it was followed by research, studying, reading, a constant quest for knowledge about how different foods affect your body, how food helps your performance, how to train for performance rather than just working out or exercising. This all came to a head in 2011 when I found CrossFit. I saw a posting on Facebook for a 24 hour endurance WOD, for some reason it sounded like a challenge I wanted to be a part of. I called the phone number, reserved a spot and showed up at CrossFit Scottsdale to workout, eat and occasionally nap with about 30 people I had never met before for 24 consecutive hours! What I found changed everything again.
I found the athlete I always wanted to be, I found community and most importantly I found friends. CrossFit made me feel like I did when I played sports as a kid and young adult. It made me feel strong, powerful and in control of my life. It transformed diet and exercise into nutrition and training. Believe me, there is a difference! Almost instantly I was surrounded by people who cared about this stuff as much as I do. Diet and exercise wasn't just something these people do to look good, although we are a good looking bunch if I say so myself, it was a way of life. Proper nutrition was the foundation for the next WOD, it was the foundation for competition and really the foundation for life. It was certainly the training and challenge aspect that drew me into CrossFit and CrossFit Scottsdale, but the community has kept me here. When you were a kid you made new friends daily, as a teenager weekly and as a young adult maybe a new friend every 6 months to a year. As you progress into your 30's making new friends does not happen quite so often. I have made so many new friends in my year at CrossFit Scottsdale it really is hard to believe sometimes. I thank every single one of you for accepting me when I came through the doors the first time. It matters, and your commitment to our community matters.
I leave you with this. Committing to a lifestyle of health and fitness provides you with freedom. Freedom to take a hike, ride your bike with your kids, play pickup basketball, go surfing, swim in the ocean, play football on the beach, play Frisbee, take up rowing, run a marathon or even take your shirt off at the pool!
Thanks to all my friends at CrossFit Scottsdale for helping me pursue my passion!
~Josh Wagner

The Caterham F1 Team confirmed via press release on Wednesday, July 2, that Tony Fernandes and his partners have sold the team to a consortium of Swiss and Middle Eastern investors, advised by former F1 Team Principal Colin Kolles.
Under the terms of the sale, the team will continue to race as Caterham F1 Team and will remain based at Leafield for the foreseeable future.
The new ownership takes charge with immediate effect. Former Dutch F1 driver, Christijan Albers, assisted by Manfredi Ravetto, will take over the day-to-day running of the team, reporting directly to the board and replacing Cyril Abiteboul who will leave the team to pursue new challenges.
According to Formula 1, "Abiteboul moves on after 18 months at the helm of Caterham, having taken over from Tony Fernandes as team principal at the end of 2012."
Christijan Albers commented, "We are aware of the huge challenge ahead of us given the fight at the bottom end of the Championship and our target now is to aim for tenth place in the 2014 Championship. We are very committed to the future of the team and we will ensure that the team has the necessary resources to develop and grow and achieve everything it is capable of."
According to Formula 1, Caterham currently sits at 11th place out of 11 teams currently racing in the 2014 season. Like Sauber which is right above it at 10th, the Caterham team has yet to accumulate any points.
Catherham drivers this season are Marcus Ericsson and Kamui Kobayashi. The team is racing with a Renault power unit, a feature that is causing four-time defending championship team Red Bull problems this season.

College Hockey:Merrimack routs Providence 6-1, clinches home ice advantage
Da Costa with three points in return
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — The ninth ranked Merrimack Warriors and the Providence Friars faced off for the second time this season with playoff implications on the line for both teams.
With a win Merrimack would clinch home ice advantage in the Hockey East Quarterfinals, and Providence with a win would get one step closer to the eighth and final Hockey East playoff spot.
Merrimack successfully clinched home ice advantage with 6-1 victory over Providence, but with UMass losing to Maine the Friars can grab the eighth spot with a victory over Merrimack tomorrow night and one more UMass loss to Maine.
With both teams trying to get their feet moving in the first few minutes, the Warriors owned the better of puck possession, and started to click offensively while out-skating the Friars.
The Warriors would walk into the first intermission with a 3-0 lead and outshooting the Friars 14-8.
"They jumped on us. I thought they moved the puck really well and came at us with speed, and we had a hard time containing them," said Providence head coach Tim Army.
The Warriors got on the board 1-0 when Elliot Sheen found Ryan Flanigan streaking up the boards and Flanigan ripped his ninth of the season top-shelf past Providence netminder Alex Beaudry.
Turnovers hurt the Friars all period long and Mike Collins would hurt them on the scoreboard intercepting a pass at center ice, skating into the slot, and slipping the puck to Jesse Todd who found the top shelf for a 2-0 lead.
Just 26 seconds later, Carter Madsen led the rush into the attacking zone and nicely set up Flanigan who got past his man and roofed the puck for his second goal of the game and a 3-0 lead.
Merrimack goaltender Joe Cannata was protected relatively well throughout the first stopping Ian O'Connor and Eric Baier from long range, but was called upon to make a great pad save with just seconds left on sharpshooter Kyle MacKinnon who got loose down the boards.
Providence caught the Merrimack defense napping in the opening seconds of the second period with Tim Schaller getting behind the net and scoring on a wraparound just 16 seconds in and getting on the board 3-1.
For most of the second, both teams played terrific defense clogging the passing and shooting lanes. Merrimack defensemen Adam Ross and Kyle Bigos, and Providence defensemen Daniel New and Mark Adams protected the boards well and laid out some big hits.
The Merrimack power play went to work with six minutes left and was quickly bolstered by the return of forward Stephane Da Costa
who sat out the previous five games due to a lower-body injury.
"We came out hard. We got back to it in practice after last weekend and played our game," said Da Costa.
Da Costa recorded two assists as the Warriors increased the score to 5-1 on two power play opportunities with Joe Cucci twice stuffing the puck behind Beaudry.
Russ Stein took over in net for Beaudry in the third period, but Providence was on the defensive and Merrimack was looking for more goals.
After Stein dodged bullet after bullet, Merrimack finally got the puck by him on the power play with Karl Stollery softly slipping the puck to Da Costa and his rocket increased Merrimack's lead to 6-1.
"We played well tonight," said Merrimack head coach Mark Dennehy. "The team that is playing the best at the end of the season is the one that's going to have the most success, and coming into next week we need to make sure we're playing well."
Cannata was sharp on the evening, stopping 18 of 19 shots before third string goaltender Nick Drew saw his first ice time of the season in the final two minutes.
The Warriors will finish the season no lower than fourth place with a (23-7-4) overall record and a (17-7-3) record in Hockey East. The Friars still have a chance at eighth place but drop to (7-19-8) overall with a 3-17-7 conference record.

Robin Thicke's now-infamous Blurred Lines romp with Miley Cyrus may be so 2013, but that doesn't mean the controversy is over. The singer now finds himself and the song up against Boston University students who are petitioning to cancel Thicke's upcoming March performance with K. Michelle and DJ Cassidy, being held on campus at Agganis Arena.
According to the petition, the sexually-charged hit "celebrates having sex with women against their will" and stands for "systemic patriarchy and sexual oppression." It also indicates the university's history of feminism and the "ironic nature of having Thicke perform there."
It was created by the Humanists of Boston University, a student organization focused on promoting "compassion, social justice, reason and science" within the school's non-religious and secular community.
"Having Thicke perform is a political statement that is out of touch with the realities of sexual violence and Boston University's own history," wrote the group.
Some supporters called him a "misogynist" while one admitted that they "like the song musically, but the industry has to change." Many supporters also agree that the artists' seemingly loose morals do not line up with the schools values.
Thicke has responded to this issue in past interviews, calling the idea of his song promoting rape "ridiculous". "I've been with the same woman since I was a teenager" he stated in an interview last year with Fuse TV.
Over 900 signatures have been collected so far against the performance and it will be interesting to see if ticket sales and concertgoers or the petition will prevail.

While traveling via MegaBus (a great value for those of you who travel back and forth to Cali) I met Edwin Nombre. Edwin is an aspiring film maker and an actor on a journey he describes as 'living off the kindness of others'.
It is truly inspiring to listen to Edwin as he shows his gifts while sharing numerous stories of kind acts from strangers is. Edwin was on his 106th day of "110 Days One Dollar a Day" journey. Edwin's journey began in Manila. During these 106 days Edwin has been to NYC, New Jersey, Washington State, Oregon, California and Nevada.
Edwin has used Social Media to make friends and followers all over the world. I noticed Edwin when he walked up and started a conversation with a group of young men going to the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas. Edwin spoke wearing a smile that would brighten any room. I could not help but listen to his fascinating story.
Edwin's mother's home was made available to travelers at no cost. Edwin said people never asked them for help; they just helped others. He wondered what it would be like to be the one who needs help. Edwin embarked on a journey to see how much help he would get without asking for it. So far, looking at his gifts he is doing well. Edwin has met over 1000 people.
Edwin is traveling to Vegas wearing a "True Manila" shirt in hopes of doing an interview with Manny Pacquiao. Prayerfully he will find open doors and favor. I'm looking forward to seeing the Pacquiao interview and future screen work from this personable young man who is living off the kindness of strangers.
Check Ed Wins (Edwin Nombre) out on Face Book. Take a tour of his website truemanila.com. The name Edwin means "rich friend". Ed is about meeting people, making friends and encouraging dreams. Edwin is living a blessed life rich with friendship. Looks like Ed wins all around!
Thanks for reading. Enjoy the video. May the Lord richly bless you and yours.

Stomach Cancer
Learn About Stomach Cancer
How Preventable Is Stomach Cancer?
AICR estimates that if Americans cut out processed meat, did not drink excessive amounts of alcohol and stayed a healthy weight, we could cut the number of cases of stomach cancer that occur in the U.S. by 15 percent.
This means that if we all ate meals featuring more plant foods (especially fruits and non-starchy vegetables) roughly 4,000 cases every year would never have to happen (based on 2016 incidence data).
Donate Now to Support Cancer Research and Education
Register to receive updates on AICR Research
What Are Stomach Cancer's Major Risk Factors?
Diet: Processed meat increases risk; these meats include bacon, hot dogs and sausage.
Alcohol: Drinking 3 or more alcoholic drinks per day increases risk.
Age: Most cases are diagnosed in people over 50.
H pylori Infection: The bacterium Heliobacter pylori (H plyori) increases risk for stomach cancer, as it damages the stomach lining.
|Smoking: Tobacco use increases risk of stomach cancer and many other cancers.
How Common Is Stomach Cancer?
Stomach cancer (also known as gastric cancer) is not as common in the United States as it is the developing world. Approximately 26,370 cases of stomach cancer occur in the U.S. each year.

AICR's new web resource keeps you up-to-date about the latest research on foods that belong at the center of your New American Plate.
To lower your risk of stomach cancer, focus on replacing processed meats with healthy choices, drinking moderate amounts of alcohol -- if any -- and eating a diet high in plant foods to help you stay a healthy weight.
Eat More:
- Vegetables: Choose non-starchy options like tomatoes, leafy green, peppers and carrots. Allium vegetables (onions, garlic, leeks, chives, scallions) are specifically linked to lower risk for stomach cancer.
- Fruits: Eat a variety of fruits, whether fresh or frozen. Limit juices to 1 cup or less per day.
Eat Less:
Processed Meats: Hot dogs, bacon, and packaged deli meats are all considered processed meat.
Note: The effect of salt-preserved foods on stomach cancer risk is more pronounced among those with H pylori infection. If you suffer from stomach ulcers, discuss getting tested for H pylori infection with your healthcare provider; treatment is available.)
A good rule of thumb:
Always fill at least 2/3 of your plate with plant foods, and let animal foods (meat and dairy) take up the rest.

|Probable Effect on Risk:
Non-starchy vegetables

Salted & salty foods
What's the Link?
Diets High in Non-Starchy Vegetables LOWER Stomach Cancer Risk
- Non-starchy vegetables (read: NOT potatoes, corn, etc.) contain a range of components that could contribute to a protective effect, including fiber, carotenoids, flavonoids, folate, and many more.
Diets High in Allium Vegetables LOWER Stomach Cancer Risk
- Onions, garlic, chives, leeks and scallions contain allyl-sulfur compounds, which are much studied for their anti-cancer potential.
- In laboratory studies, these substances seem to help usher potential dietary carcinogens out of the body before they can do any harm.
Diets High in Fruits LOWER Stomach Cancer Risk
Like vegetables, fruits contain a range of compounds that have been shown to deactivate carcinogens and help the body protect itself from cancer in other ways.
Diets High in Salt and Salty Foods RAISE Risk for Stomach Cancer
Salt, especially when accompanied by H pylori bacteria, irritates the lining of the stomach over time in ways that make the cancer process more likely.

UA-UTSA Series History
All-Time: First meeting
First Meeting: Sept. 14, 2013
Last Meeting: None
Streak: First meeting
Some Game Themes: Arizona returns home with a crack at an undefeated run through its non-conference slate, but an up-and-coming UTSA program has visions of spoiling such a bid … The Wildcats bring with them a high-powered run game bolstered by the return of All-American running back Ka'Deem Carey, who racked up 171 yards and a pair of scores in his season debut at UNLV … The backfield is loaded for the Cardinal and Navy with two premier running backs (Carey and Daniel Jenkins) and a quarterback (B.J. Denker) that has found running lanes himself while the passing game awaits a necessary breakout effort … The Wildcats will be challenged by a formidable Roadrunners squad that already has a Western road win (at New Mexico) and a closer-than-the-score indicated home loss to nationally-ranked Oklahoma State … The only opposing coach with a national title to his credit on the Wildcats' schedule, Larry Coker has UTSA humming offensively with 449 yards per game … The Roadrunners, like the Wildcats, have moved the ball at a six yards-per-play clip … Eric Soza calls the signals and leads the Roadrunners in rushing, but most impressively has an array of targets – 15 with at least one catch – pass to challenge Arizona's rejuvenated defense … In that sense, can the Wildcats continue their attacking style that has stymied opponents? … Experience, depth and confidence appears to be blueprint for a vastly improved defensive unit, but consistency will be the ultimate decider …A back-loaded home schedule leaves this as the last home game until mid-October for the Wildcats … Not surprisingly, the first meeting between the schools.
The Coaches: Arizona - Rich Rodriguez (West Virginia '86), second year at Arizona (10-5) and 19th as a head coach overall (130-89-2). At Arizona, Rodriguez's teams are 7-2 at Arizona Stadium, 2-3 on the road, 1-0 at neutral sites, 4-5 in Pac-12 games and 1-0 in bowl games (2012 Gildan New Mexico). Rodriguez was introduced as the 30th head coach of the UA football program on Nov. 22, 2011. He carries Division I records of 10-5 at Arizona, 60-26 at West Virginia (2001-2007) and 15-22 at Michigan (2008-10). He began his head coaching career at Salem University (W.Va.) in 1988 and then coached at Glenville State (W.Va.) from 1990-96. Rodriguez's West Virginia teams were Big East Champions in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 while appearing in two BCS bowls, the 2005 Sugar Bowl with a victory over Georgia for an 11-1 record and a victory over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl to finish 10-2 shortly after Rodriguez had left for Michigan. His teams have appeared in bowls in eight of 11 seasons an FBS head coach UTSA – Larry Coker (Northeastern State '70), third season at UTSA (13-11) and ninth season as head coach overall (73-26) … Coker was hired to start the UTSA football program from scratch in 2009 and has quickly turned the Roadrunners into a program on the rise, evidenced by an 8-4 record and 3-3 finish in its first and only season in the WAC in 2012. Prior to UTSA, led Miami to the 2001 national championship and posted a 60-15 record in six seasons (2001-06) with the school. Longtime offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach with stints at Miami (1995-2000), Oklahoma (1990-92), Oklahoma State (1983-89) and Tulsa (1980-82). Two-time national coach of the year.
What Happened in Vegas: Arizona hit the road and hit the jackpot with a convincing 58-13 victory that was seemingly over from the get-go … The Wildcats opened up a 17-0 first quarter lead and then Ka'Deem Carey and the defense provided a highlight-filled second quarter … Carey took his first carry to the house – a 58-yard burst – to show he has the capability to back up his All-American sophomore season. He needed just nine carries in the second quarter alone to rack up his 11th career 100-yard game and he finished with a game-high 171 yards – the fifth straight game he has rushed for 170 or more yards … Not to be overshadowed, backfield mate Daniel Jenkins ran for 82 yards and quarterback B.J. Denker added 60 yards and two touchdowns … Meanwhile, the Wildcats' defense got into the action with Jake Fischer (49 yards) and Tra'Mayne Bondurant (52 yards) stepping in front of Nick Sherry passes and returning them for touchdowns … It was a two-touchdown game for the defense – it's first in some 202 contests dating to 1996 … Continuing with the defensive trends, the unit was stout on third downs, holding the Rebels to a 4-for-15 conversion rate and even worse 0-for-3 rate on fourth downs … Kicker Jake Smith connected on 3-of-4 field goals, added seven extra points and kicked off 11 times in a game that saw him set a school record with 16 points by kicking … Freshman linebacker Scooby Wright continued to show what he can do defensively, leading the charge with seven tackles and one for loss … The scoring output was the second-most in modern history for Arizona in a road game, and it was the largest margin of victory in road contest since 1952 … Rich Rodriguez won his 130th career game and the Wildcats won for the third straight time away from home.
The Win Was Ten: Second-year Head Coach Rich Rodriguez became the second coach in the modern era of Arizona football to reach 10 wins in his first 15 games at the school. Only college football hall-of-famer Jim Young, whose Wildcat squads were 12-3 after his first 15 tilts, previous tallied double-digit wins. In the early decades of the program, Miles W. Casteel (1939-48) posted a 10-5 mark, G.A. "Tex" Oliver (1933-37) went 10-4-1 and J.F. "Pop" McKale (1914-30) registered an 11-4 record through the first 15 games.
Pound the Ground Game: After two games, Arizona ranks fourth nationally with 703 rushing yards – a current clip of 351.5 yards per game that if it held up would shatter the school record of 276.5 per game set in 1954. The Wildcats are averaging 6.89 yards per carry and have scored eight touchdowns on the ground – tied for third-most nationally. It's a continuation of the way Arizona closed the 2012 season by gaining 1,246 yards over the final four games. Added with the first two games of 2013, the Wildcats have rolled up 1,949 yards – or 324.8 yards per game – over essentially a half-season of six games. Running backs Ka'Deem Carey and Daniel Jenkins have shouldered a majority of the load with 1,085 and 351 yards, respectively, in those last six games.
Run KDC: Junior running back Ka'Deem Carey returned to action last Saturday and began backing up his All-American sophomore campaign. On several preseason watch lists (Maxwell Player of the Year Award, Doak Walker Award and Walter Camp Football Foundation), Carey took his first handoff of the season 58 yards for a touchdown as part of a nine-carry, 106-yard and two-touchdown effort in the second quarter alone against the Rebels. He went on to finish with a game-high 171 rushing yards on 16 carries. Here are some nuggets of note regarding the nation's defending rushing leader:
- In 2012, became first Wildcat to lead the nation in rushing since Art Luppino in 1955 (also 1954).
- Has 2,525 career rushing yards (No. 8 among active FBS players)
- Has 3,596 career all-purpose yards (No. 14 among active FBS players)
- Career average 101.0 rushing yards per game (one of two players with 100+)
- Has 11 career 100-yard rushing games (five straight).
- Scored 31 rushing touchdowns (No. 2 all-time at UA and No. 2 active in FBS)
- Scored 34 total touchdowns (leads Pac-12 and ranks No. 2 in FBS for active players)
- Ranks No. 3 among FBS for career points per game (8.2)
- Averages 6.2 yards per carry on 410 career rushes (No. 5 in FBS)
- Set UA single-season record with 1,929 rushing yards in 2012.
- Set an Arizona program record with 23 rushing touchdowns in 2012.
- Led the Pac-12 with 10 100-yard rushing games in 2012 and matched Trung Canidate (1999) for the school record for 100-yard games in a season.
- Finished the 2012 season with 2,248 all-purpose yards, falling one yard shy of Dennis Northcutt's single-season school record of 2,249 set in 1999.
- Carey finished the 2012 season with 24 total touchdowns to tie Art Luppino (1954) for the most individual touchdowns in school single-season history.
The Last Five for Two-Five: Last week's season debut for Ka'Deem Carey showed he has picked up where he left off after leading the nation in rushing as a sophomore. His final four games of 2012 and his first in 2013 mount to one of the most impressive five-game stretches one could imagine for a running back. Here's a look:

* Pac-12 and Arizona single-game rushing record
^ School single-game record; tied Pac-12 single-game record
Big Play Ability: Early in the season, the Wildcats have shown a knack for making big plays. Arizona already has 10 plays (six rush, one pass, two interception returns, one fumble return) of 30 or yards this season (5.0 per game) after collecting 33 during the 13-game 2012 campaign (2.5 per game). The uptick has been in big plays on the ground with six runs already going for 30 or more yards after having eight all of last year. Added with a 31-yard pass, the Wildcats' seven scrimmage plays of 30-plus yards is currently 14th-most nationally. Defensively, Arizona has three returns over 30 yards to already match last year's season total.
Outta Their League: Rich Rodriguez is 6-0 against non-conference opponents, including 4-0 at home, since debuting as the Wildcats' head coach in 2012. Arizona has won seven-straight games against non-conference foes and is 16-5 over its last 21 such games dating back to 2008. Considering regular season games only, the Wildcats have won 10 of their last 11 non-conference games and are 14-3 since the start of the 2008 season.
Desert SWAT: In passing situations, Arizona will deploy its "SWAT team" defensive unit – a mix of extra defensive backs to defend the back end and quicker players up front to rush the passer. It's a unit that is helping the Wildcats get off the field on third downs after struggling to do so a year ago. While not used exclusively in all third down situations, it's the most obvious passing down in long to-gain situations. Arizona has held NAU and UNLV to a combined 8-for-34 which is a 24-percent conversion rate that ranks No. 13 nationally. A year ago, the Wildcats finished No. 90 by allowing opponents to convert 44 percent of third downs.
Records Check: Here are some nuggets gleaned from a glance at the box score and record books after last Saturday's game … Arizona's 45-point victory against UNLV was the school's largest margin of victory in a road game since a 55-7 thumping of UTEP in El Paso, Texas, on Nov. 18, 1952 … The Wildcats' 58 points scored on the Rebels mark the most in a road game since dropping Washington State, 59-28, in Pullman, Wash., on Nov. 8, 2008 … In the modern history of Arizona football (since 1950), the 59 points scored against the Cougars stands as the school record in a road game, with last Saturday's win in Las Vegas checking in second … At halftime, the Wildcats led the Rebels 45-6, setting a modern day program record for most points scored in a single half of a road game … UA scored 28 points in the second quarter – its most in any quarter since the second period of a 48-12 victory over UCLA on Oct. 20, 2011, at Arizona Stadium.
Turnover Turnaround: One stat the Wildcats want to keep going is their positive turnover margin. They have forced three turnovers in each game to open the season, while coughing it up just once to rank tied for seventh nationally with a plus-five turnover margin. A year ago, Arizona finished minus-one in turnover margin and ranked 65th nationally. The stat is worth keeping an eye on if past results are any indication. Under Rich Rodriguez, the Wildcats are 6-0 when winning the turnover battle in games, 2-4 when committing more turnovers and 2-1 when turnovers are even.
Blackjack 21: The reigning Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week – Tra'Mayne Bondurant – doubled down with a second-consecutive breakout performance to open his junior season. After registering seven tackles and two interceptions, including one for a touchdown, in the opener against NAU, Bondurant added four more tackles and another pick-six in Las Vegas. He returned his interception for a 52-yard touchdown to add to his 23-yarder a week prior. The "spur" safety, who wears No. 21, has 11 tackles, two tackles for loss, three interceptions and one sack in his first two games of the year. He is a 20-game starter in his career with 130 tackles – 17 for loss – to go with six interceptions, three forced fumbles and three touchdown returns.
Fifty is Nifty: In 15 games with Rich Rodriguez as head coach, the Wildcats have hung 50 points on their opponents five separate times, including the 58 scored at UNLV. Arizona is 5-0 in those games. It's become a once every three games occurrence for a program that has only had 18 games with 50 or more points since joining the Pac-12 in 1978. In fact, in the 10 seasons prior to Rodriguez arriving, the Wildcats had exactly the same number – five – of 50-point games as he does in just over one full season. Whether it be under Rodriguez or other coaches, the Wildcats have been good when dropping a half-a-hundred in a game. Try a 17-1 mark since 1978 with the loss a 56-55 setback to California in 1996 when coach Dick Tomey elected to try for, but failed, a two-point conversion in the fourth overtime.
Pick Your Poison: Run to set up the pass, or pass to set up the run? This time a year ago, Arizona was 2-0 and ranked No. 9 nationally with 353.5 passing yards per game. A year later, the Wildcats are again 2-0 but have passed for only 168 total yards and find themselves No. 6 nationally by rushing for 351.5 yards per game. That's quite a shift in philosophy or production, but also hints at what lies ahead in the Pac-12. Staring at the stats reveals four Pac-12 teams (California, Oregon State, Colorado and Arizona State) rank among the top 10 FBS schools in passing yards per game. At the same time, three squads (Oregon, Arizona and UCLA) show up in the top 10 for rushing offense per game. If early results are any indication, being top 10 in either category is positive beyond the stat sheet. The 10 teams leading the way in passing are 16-2 on the year, while the 10 rushing leaders are 14-3. Pretty good company either way.
Refuting Reputation: Ever hear the stereotype that defensive players would have played on offense if they could catch the ball? Well, Arizona's defense is not buying into that generalization. Tra'Mayne Bondurant (3-79, 2 TD), Jake Fischer (1-49, TD) and Devin Holiday (1-10) have combined for nearly as many interception return yards (138) as UA's receiving corps has offensively (168). Bondurant, the "spur" safety, already has two interception returns for touchdowns this season (52 and 23 yards), and Fischer, a middle linebacker snared his first career pick and returned it 49 yards for a score last Saturday against UNLV. That's three touchdown returns for the defense, which trumps the one receiving touchdown the Wildcats have offensively. In fact, UA's receiving corps is without a touchdown reception as senior running back Daniel Jenkins is the only player to catch a pass for a score this year. To be fair to the offense, the ground game has rolled up 351.5 yards per game and accounted for eight touchdowns – so the need to air it out has been minimal.

Defense on the Offensive: Arizona's defense has accounted for three touchdowns in two games (all via interception returns). That's more touchdowns than the unit has allowed (two) – a nugget of note in its own right. But perhaps most impressive is the fact that Tra'Mayne Bondurant (52 yards) and Jake Fischer (49 yards) produced the first multiple-touchdown game for the Arizona defense since Sept. 14, 1996. On that day, Chester Burnett (33 yards), Mikal Smith (86 yards) and then-defensive back Dennis Northcutt (63 yards) returned a trio of interceptions back for touchdowns – all in the fourth quarter – against Illinois in a 41-0 thumping. It was a span of 202 games without the defense scoring two touchdowns in a game by itself. In terms of all non-offensive scores (kicks, blocks, etc.), the Wildcats had collected seven multiple-touchdown games with the last coming on Sept. 18, 2010. Trevin Wade returned an interception 85 yards and Travis Cobb returned a kickoff 100 yards in a 34-27 upset of Iowa.
Early Returns: Arizona showed improvement in the kick and punt return game at UNLV. Sophomore receiver Johnny Jackson earned his first start as the punt returner, taking over for Nate Phillips who had troubling hanging on in Week 1 against NAU. Jackson filled in more than adequately, returning five punts for 59 yards, including a long of 25. Those 59 yards are more than a third of UA's season return total from a year ago (170), which included a 63-yard Richard Morrison touchdown return. Meanwhile, Phillips bounced back with some solid work as the starting kickoff return man – totaling 42 yards on a pair of runbacks. He had a long of 26.
Quarter Scores: The Wildcats have scored in all eight quarters to open the season with a particular liking to the first half. Arizona has jumped on its opponents for 24 first-quarter and 35 second-quarter points, enjoying a cumulative 59-6 halftime lead through two games. An even split of 17 points per period in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, rounds out Arizona's 93-13 cumulative scoring margin this season. Including the fourth quarter of the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, the Wildcats have scored in nine consecutive quarters.
Disciplined Start: Through two games, the Wildcats have been flagged seven times for 65 yards – a 32.5 yards per game clip that ranks No. 27 in the nation. That mark is nearly half of what UA's opponents are averaging per game (13-130, 65.0 yards per game). It is also a welcomed decrease from last year's tally of 55.1 penalty yards per game – a figure that finished No. 77 nationally.
That's More Like It: Offensive execution and tempo improved for Arizona last week in Las Vegas. The proof is in the fact the Wildcats ran nearly twice as many plays at UNLV (90) as they did a week earlier against Northern Arizona (47). Against the Rebels, the Wildcats cranked out 46 plays for 291 yards in the first half alone – a 6.3 yards per play clip that will keep any coach happy. It wasn't quite the explosive 8.4 yards per play from the NAU game, but Arizona was much more economical in moving the chains, totaling 25 first downs against UNLV compared to tallying 14 over four quarters with the Lumberjacks. Last season, Arizona led all FBS schools with 381 first downs and check in fourth nationally for most total plays (1,082).
Quick Strikes: Don't turn away from the action when watching the Wildcats – sudden scores have become a common theme. Offensively, Arizona has twice scored on one-play drives (91-yard Daniel Jenkins run and a 58-yard Ka'Deem Carey rush) and has one two-play drive and two three-play drives. That's more than half of UA's offensive touchdown drives that have been composed of three plays or less. Plus, the Wildcat defense has three touchdown returns on interceptions – effectively one-play drives.
Bookend Tackles: Junior tackles Fabbians Ebbele and Mickey Baucus account for 54 of Arizona's 80 career starts along the offensive line. With each registering 27 consecutive starts, the bookend duo was a significant part of the Wildcats' record-breaking offense in 2012. They helped pave the way 227.8 rushing yards per game and the offense yielded only 18 sacks in 13 games while tallying 298.4 passing yards per game. The unit has picked up where it left off, with Baucus and Ebbele helping roll up 351.5 rushing yards per game and only two sacks allowed through two games in 2013.
Mr. Versatility: One of Arizona's offensive leaders is the ever versatile Chris Putton, a fifth-year senior who has mastered all five positions on the offensive line. Putton doesn't claim a natural position – he willing says he will play wherever coaches need him – but his skills are perhaps best suited at guard where he has made 21 career starts. In a pinch, he can slide out to tackle if needed behind starters Fabbians Ebbele and Mickey Baucus, or take the controls at center. His experience and versatility will pay dividends in the trenches this season.
Senior Encore: Arizona welcomes back senior wide receiver/tight end Terrence Miller for a fifth season. The Moreno Valley, Calif., native was granted a medical hardship waiver in the spring and his return to the Wildcats gives Arizona a proven target in the offense and a leader on and off the field. Miller, who also received his degree in the spring, caught 13 passes for 143 yards and two scores in four games last year despite battling a series of injuries. His season was cut short for good after sustaining an injury on a touchdown at Stanford last October. Now healthy again, Miller can play any of UA's receiver positions in the slot or on the outside. He will also put his hand down as a tight end, so expect the Wildcats to move him around early and often. He has one catch for 14 yards on the year.
Defensive Development: What a difference a year makes for defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel. In his first season implementing the 3-3-5 stack at Arizona, Casteel inherited one of the thinnest and youngest defenses in the nation evidenced by more than half of his depth chart comprising freshman or sophomore. This year, things have shifted in his favor with more depth and more experience. In fact, Wildcat defenders have combined for 232 career starts with the same 11 starting each contest this season. Senior lineman Sione Tuihalamaka and senior cornerback Shaquille Richardson lead with 26 career starts apiece, while senior linebackers Marquis Flowers and Jake Fischer boast 25 and 23 starts, respectively. Junior "spur" safety Tra'Mayne Bondurant has tallied 20 starts, including 20 of Arizona's last 21 games (only missed 2012 New Mexico Bowl). True freshman linebacker Scooby Wright is the only player without prior starting experience and has earned the nod in each of his first two collegiate games.
Desert Bloom: It was in fall camp a year ago when Marquis Flowers was shifted from safety to linebacker to add depth at a position of need. Now, some 12 months later, Flowers figures to be one of the top linebackers in the Pac-12 Conference. As a junior, he was second on the squad with exactly 100 tackles and led the team with 13 tackles for loss and a team-high 5.5 sacks. He also proved to have a nose for the football, intercepting three pass, forcing three fumbles and recovering another. A full year of experience and an offseason to study the defense in the film room should benefit Flowers even more, and he has eight tackles – one for loss – and a 36-yard fumble recovery to open his senior campaign.
Scooby (Can) Doo: Despite a veteran starting unit on the defensive side of the ball, the Wildcats have a new face in their starting lineup: Scooby Wright. The true freshman has started each game at strongside linebacker and leads the team with 13 total tackles, including two for loss. In his first collegiate game against NAU, Wright finished with six tackles, including one for loss, and tipped the pass that Tra'Mayne Bondurant stepped in front of before returning it 21 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter.
Tackling Machine: Senior middle linebacker Jake Fischer returns as one of the top tacklers in the Pac-12. A year ago, Fischer led Arizona with 119 stops and ranked third in the conference with 9.2 tackles per game. A physical, yet slightly undersized player, Fischer uses his high football IQ to put himself in position to make plays. He had 6.5 tackles for loss, four fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles and three passes defended a season ago as he returned to full strength after missing the 2011 campaign with an ACL injury. His perseverance paid off as he was a Pac-12 honorable mention selection in 2012 and could contend for higher honors this season. Fischer is on the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List and the Bednarik Award Watch List. He has eight tackles and a 49-yard interception return for a touchdown through two games as a senior.
Scholarships Earned: Several walk-ons earned the praise of head coach Rich Rodriguez, who rewarded them with scholarships this offseason. Nose guard Tevin Hood, linebacker Sir Thomas Jackson and receiver Johnny Jackson earned scholarships in the spring, while running back Terris Jones and receiver Trevor Ermisch were put on scholarship last week. Rodriguez values a strong walk-on program and benefitted such a program himself. At West Virginia, Rodriguez started as a walk-on in 1981 and became a three-year letter winner as a defensive back from 1982-84.
Gridiron Graduates: Eight Wildcats have earned their degrees from the University of Arizona, a tally that ranks fifth nationally for FBS programs. Included are running backs Daniel Jenkins and Kylan Butler, receivers Terrence Miller and Richard Morrison, defensive backs Derrick Rainey and Justin Samuels, offensive lineman Eric Bender-Ramsey and defensive lineman Sione Tuihalamaka.
Up Next: Arizona is off next weekend for its first bye weekend (Sept. 21). The Wildcats re-load before hitting the road to face Pac-12 foes Washington (Sept. 28) and, after another bye weekend, USC (Oct. 10). A kickoff time for the game in Seattle is expected to be announced as part of the 12-day televisions selections by Pac-12 television partners on Monday, Sept. 16.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The 41 Action News Investigators have been looking into the background of the building that collapsed on Thursday to see if there were any signs it was about to collapse.
The building opened in 1931 as home to the Benton Theatre. The theater closed in 1952 but the building is registered as a historical site. It has since become home to the Apostolic Assembly of Faith in Christ Jesus church.
It was not registered on the city's list of dangerous buildings.
"We haven't had anything like this," said Dalena Taylor, dangerous building manager for the city of Kansas City, Mo. "Apparently this building is 75 to 100 years old, so we don't even know what could have caused it."
A representative for the city says if the building had been on that list, people would not been allowed in the building. City records show the building did receive several citations for graffiti and trash. All of those citations are logged in the system as resolved.
The city has no record of any structural complaints or citations for the building.
"In this instance, this was something that couldn't be foreseen," Taylor said.
The city also only has records of three permits pulled for the building in recent years. The most recent was a general permit for the area to excavate and install Google Fiber. Beyond that, the most recent permit is from 2000 when crews worked on the plumbing and gas in the building. The city also has record of a general construction permit pulled in 1987.
The most recent fire inspection was in January 2014. The city says that inspection did not check the structural integrity of the building.
41 Action News contacted the parent church based in Ranch Cucamonga, Calif., to inquire about the status of the building and any construction it might have undergone. Staff members did not return our phone calls.

• One of the most memorable contests in the facility came in the 1994 Tip-Off game when third-ranked UMass defeated the defending national champion Arkansas with a stunning 104-80 loss -- its worst defeat since the 1987-88 season -- and the victory catapulted UMass into the nation's top-ranked position. UMass senior Lou Roe set the tone of the evening with a slam dunk five seconds into the game and dominated the game from start to finish. Roe scored a career-high 34 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and connected on 10-of-11 free throws in a sterling performance. Roe had help from teammates Donta Bright (24 points), and sophomore Marcus Camby, who scored 13 in 17 minutes.
• The Minutemen played their entire home schedule at the Civic Center during the 1984-85 season -- as the Curry Hicks Cage was being renovated -- going 7-4. That is the only year that UMass has not played its home schedule on campus.
• Prior to its last game, UMass had posted at least 12 offensive rebounds in each game and is now averaging 13.2 offensive rebounds per game. The Minutemen are also averaging 10.5 second-chance points per game and have posted double-figure totals in five of their last six.
• It's no secret that UMass head coach Derek Kellogg wants to press and speed the game up as much as possible. That being said, the Minutemen are averaging 8.3 steals and 4.9 blocks per game - stats that have aided in a 16-12 ppg edge in points off turnovers and a 6-2 margin in fast break scoring. UMass opponents are averaging 14.8 turnovers per game.
• Additionally, UMass has forced 18 TOs with its press and four shot clock violations this season.
• UMass has won five consecutive road games dating back to the postseason NIT run last year. The last time they won 5-consecutive true road games was in 1997-98 season when Bruiser Flint's second team reeled-off seven-consecutive in opposing arenas.
• UMass led 30-29 at the half and is now 3-0 this season when leading at the break.
• The game's 7 ties and 11 lead changes are the most in a UMass contest this season.

• UMass shot .471 pct from the floor for its second-best shooting game of the season (.508 vs. Providence). Additionally, the .350 effort from outside on 7-of-20 was the second-best effort from outside this year (.375 vs. NC State).
• The defensive effort was among the best all seasons, with Northeastern's .353 overall shooting and .111 3-point shooting the lowest by a UMass opponent in both categories all season.
• Chaz Williams finished with 18 points for his seventh double-figure game this year and 56th in his career.
• Jesse Morgan also had 18 points to share game-high honors with Williams. He was 4-of-7 from outside, including 4-of-6 in the second half. He made his last four triples, accounting for 12 of 13 during a four-minute stretch when UMass was playing from behind late in the second half.
• Carter had a season-high 14 points on 3-of-5 from the floor and 8-of-10 at the free throw line in a career-high 34 minutes. His free throw numbers tied his career-high for both makes and attempts set against Maine on Dec. 8, 2010. His last double-figure scoring game (12 pts.) came against Northeastern last season.
• Maxie Esho finished with a team-high nine rebounds - one shy of his career-high set at Siena last Wednesday. He also played 29 minutes for a new career-high after 28 on Saturday against Miami (Fla.).

They also tabbed Chaz Williams as the Preseason Player of the Year and one of the top 10 Floor Leaders in the nation. Lindy's had UMass seventh but listed it as a team folks may want as an A-10 sleeper team. Williams was bestowed the honor of being the Most Entertaining player in the league.
UMASS AMONG TOP 3-POINT SHOOTING TEAMS IN 2011-12• UMass averaged 8.1 3-point field goals per game a year ago, which ranked first in the Atlantic 10 and 31st nationally.

UMass averaged 4,359 fans in 15 dates last season. Those numbers got increasingly higher as the season evolved to 5,411 for eight A-10 home games and 6,614 for the last five regular-season home dates. The Minutemen saw four crowds of more than 6,200 in the final six games, with a season-high 8,399 in the victory over Saint Louis.
UMASS A POPULAR TV CHOICE IN 2012-13• UMass is scheduled to appear on television 11 times this season with nine current match-ups slated for national broadcasts. That marks the most regular-season showings since the 1997-98 year.

Cheap Nokia X2 announced, will be launched in India first
Since Nokia unveiled the Symbian^3 based N8 this Monday, I didn't expect it to announce another new phone this week. And yet it did – the Nokia X2 is now official (we told you it's coming).
The new Xseries phone was announced in India, where it should be available starting June.
The X2 features a 2.2 inch QVGA display, S40, dedicated music keys, dual speakers, Bluetooth 2.1, 3.5mm headset jack, FM radio, Nokia Messaging, Facebook integration and MicroSD card support.
The new candybar also has a 5MP camera with video recording – weird, since the camera on the X3 (which, according to Nokia's new naming scheme, should be a better phone) is only a 3.2MP one.
Nokia X2 will cost only €85 (about $112). I guess it's so cheap because Nokia didn't use the best materials for it – just look how plasticky it seems to be. Anyway, I might be wrong, and the phone could be a very well-made one.

Mission Statement
The mission of Lukes Big Heart Foundation is to provide financial support to transplant patients, by donating money to hospitals and research organizations. Our goal is to help expedite care to patients who are not in a financial position to pay for it themselves and to further the research for better ways of care to patients. Our hope is to one day be able to have transplant patients that require no medicine to keep the body from rejecting the transplanted organ.
Luke's Story
was born in the morning of October 16, 2003. He didnt pink
up immediately after birth. The nurses took him to the nursery
to check his vital signs. Luke had a low respiratory rate and
oxygen level. So, they put Luke on oxygen for the rest of the
day. The nurses reassured us that this was a normal problem
in newborn children. That evening Lukes pediatrician (Dr. Roberts)
came after office hours to see his new patient. When he checked
him out he could hear a heart murmur. Again we were told that
too was a normal thing in newborns. Dr. Roberts still felt that
he should still contact the local pediatric cardiologist Dr. Jones
to check Luke out the following day. Later that evening Dr.
Jones was call into the hospital for another patient. He decided
to take a look at Luke while he was there. He later told us
that it was a good thing that he came that night instead of the next
morning. Had Luke not been seen that night he probably
would not have live through the night. Dr. Jones discovered
that Luke had a rare heart disease called Hypo-plastic left heart
syndrome. We were told that he would have to be transported
to Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta immediately. Luke was transported
at 3:00am the next morning, after he was born. That day were
filled with many tests to confirm what Dr. Jones had told us previously.
We were told about one procedure were doctors would reconstruct Lukes
heart to avoid doing a heart transplant. This was the preferred
surgery to transplantation. Lukes problems only got worse.
The Norwood procedure required that one of his pulmonary valves had
to be functioning properly. Lukes left valve was underdeveloped
and his right was leaking. One of the doctors came to Lukes
room to speak to us about our options. He told us that we had
two options. First, he could have a heart transplant and second
we could do nothing. It was at this time that we realized the
seriousness of our childs condition. I broke down into tears,
faced with a decision that no parent should ever have to make.
Which was to give him a chance to live or let him die. Jenny
and I decided that it was not our decision to make. We put it
in Gods hands. We asked him that if Luke was supposed to live
that there would be made a way. But, if he were to die that
he would go peacefully. Later, we were told that the doctors
thought they could keep Luke alive for about 15 days. Unfortunately,
the average wait for a heart was about 30 days. Over the weekend
tests were done to make certain that Luke was eligible for a heart
transplant. The following Tuesday Alex the transplant co-ordinate
informed us of a new procedure being done in Canada and that it had
never been done at CHOA before. It was called ABO incompatible
heart transplant. Wednesday, we learned that it could only be
done in newborn children. Babies could have it done because
they do not carry antibodies against other blood types. They
told us that they would use the next available heart regardless of
the blood type. We were told the success rate was the same as
a normal same blood type transplant and that it would greatly increase
his chance at getting a heart in time. Dr. Kanter, Lukes heart
surgeon met with us to find out if we were going to go with the ABO
incompatible option or not. I told him that I was leaning toward
doing the ABO incompatible heart transplant. He told me that
I couldnt lean one-way or the other. I needed to make a decision
yes or no. We said yes. The next day Jenny stayed at the
hospital and I when home to be with the children and get some over
due yard work done. That evening I got a page form Alex.
When I call she told me that a heart as available for Luke.
I was so exited I could hardly contain myself. I hug up the
phone with Alex and called Jenny. When I called I asked her
if she had heard the news. She said what news? I said
they have a heart for Luke! Jenny told her mom who was standing
next to her. The other nurses must have heard because I could hear
a lot of exited people through the phone. Thanks to the selfless
act of parents that had just lost a child many other children that
night received a second chance at life. I couldnt help but
think that at the same time I was celebrating there was a family grieving
over the loss of their child. This selfless act will never be
forgotten. Luke was now being prepared for surgery. When
the time came, we walked along side Luke as the nurses wheeled him
the surgery room. When we arrived at the surgery room doors
they told us to say goodbye. We didnt know if that was the
last time we would see him alive or not. We were hopeful.
We were given our own waiting room to stay in while Luke was in surgery.
Every hour a nurse would let us know how things were going.
Finally Dr. Kantar came into the room. He told us that surgery
didnt go great but it went well. We would be able to see Luke
very soon. When we went into the room for the first time it
was a big shock. Lukes chest was still open. You could
see his heart and lungs moving behind a plastic mesh covering the
opening. He looked like one of the babies in the movie The
Matrix. There were more tubes and monitors coming out of him
than there was baby. The next four weeks we received a crash
course in nursing. We learned about his new heart.
We learned how to pronounce all of the meds that he was taking at
the time. Finally, two days before Thanksgiving and five weeks
later. Luke came home. We were one big happy family.

We study protein targeting to the yeast vacuole, an organelle analogous to the mammalian lysosome. Aminopeptidase I (API) is targeted to the organelle by an alternative pathway, directly from the cytoplasm. Using biochemical approaches we have determined that API import involves a vesicular intermediate. Purification of the cytoplasmic vesicles that contain API will identify components involved in vesicle formation and targeting. We have also used a genetic approach to identify mutants in the API targeting pathway. These mutants are called "CVT" for cytoplasm to vacuole targeting defective. We are analyzing the CVT gene products to determine their role in the API import process. Many of the CVT mutants overlap with mutants defective in autophagy, an essential process that allows cell survival under starvation conditions. Our studies will provide information about the molecular basis of these targeting pathways.

UK fibre optic trial achieves 1.4 terabit network link
All hail the Alien Superchannel
BRITISH BOFFINS have smashed the speed record for an internet connection in a real world environment.
A consortium of Alcatel-Lucent and BT sent signals from the BT Tower in London to BT's research facility at Adastral Park in Suffolk.
The signal reached a speed of 1.4 terabits per second with a spectral efficiency of 5.7 bits per second per Hertz over an existing fibre infrastructure.
In real terms, that is the equivalent of downloading 44 full length, high definition movies in a single second.
The experiment used a "Flexigrid" infrastructure to vary the gaps between transmission channels, usually set at a static 50GHz, to increase the data transmission rate by 42.5 percent over standard methods.
Data was sent over what the researchers called an Alien Superchannel - sadly, not a Martian version of the pioneering early '90s satellite television network, but rather a transparent layer over the top of existing transmissions on the fibre optic network.
"BT has a long history of leading innovation in telecommunications, from the earliest days of the electric telegraph to today's global fiber networks." said Dr Tim Whitley, head of BT Research and Innovation.
"These trials continue that tradition,as we work with Alcatel-Lucent to push the boundaries of fiber technology, allowing us to support the ever increasing bandwidth required by our customers, and deliver new and exciting services which rely on fast, data-hungry applications."
These tests are part of an overall BT strategy to squeeze more out of the fibre optic network, and these encouraging results that showed the data was clean and glitch free suggest that the partnership is moving in the right direction towards speeds that even ten years ago were considered unachievable. µ

Jack Murdock Movies and Career Information
Oct 28, 1922
Oct 28, 1922
Jack Murdock was an American actor. He appeared in 50 films between 1973 and 1998. He was born in Urbana, Ohio. Murdock had some television roles in St. Louis, Missouri during the 1960s. One memorable role was as Kronos, the host of the television show Zone 2 on KTVI from August 1965 to August 1966. The show was named Zone 2 because KTVI-TV broadcast on Channel 2 and probably as a play on The Twilight Zone as it aired low-budget science fiction and horror movies. It aired at 3:30 pm–5:30 pm for the benefit of school-age kids. The movies shown were severely edited to fit into the time slot, to make room for commercials, and to allow for Kronos to introduce each segment. Murdock appeared in Big Top Pee-wee with New York City natives Albert Henderson and David Byrd.

A creation by staff and students, it was an honor to Sr. Eileen as "A place of reflection, of constant renewal, and growth".
