College Hockey:Michigan State Powers Through BU
Spartan Second Period Dooms Terriers
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — With a 5-1 victory over Boston University, Michigan State proved that defensive-minded hockey doesn't always mean low-scoring hockey.
"We're only characterized as a defensive team because we don't score a lot of goals," said MSU head coach Rick Comley. "The only defensive nature of our team is to keep the numbers even. We've struggled to score, but we have people who can score."
An opportunistic Spartan offense capitalized on several Terrier defensive lapses in a three-goal second period that put things out of reach for BU.
"The three goals we [gave] up are just breakdowns, individual breakdowns of somebody not covering their guy," said BU head coach Jack Parker.
"First one, the defenseman just lets the guy go right in front of our goalie and tip it in, a guy he had to begin with. Then, off the faceoff, we went and covered a guy and let him go right by us, picked up a rebound and scored.
"Then a forward chased one of their guys behind the net and let his man close for the fourth goal, which was the killer, obviously."
Earlier in the week, Parker cautioned the media that BU was its own worst enemy, and unfortunately the veteran coach could not have been closer to the truth.
"They get a bunch of goals right on top of John [Curry], and we just disintegrated in the second period," said Parker. "Our level of play and enthusiasm and the way we played in the first, and then we [allowed] that goal in the second, and I don't know if it was our lack of confidence in ourselves, we seem to have lost that, we seemed to get back on our heels."
Although the Spartans have struggled to find the killer instinct this season, Daniel Vukovic's goal to make it 4-1 at 17:19 of the second period was the proverbial dagger to the heart. Vukovic, normally a stay-at-home defenseman, has really come along offensively as the season progressed.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" said Comley. "I don't know if he went two years without scoring, and now he's got like seven goals since Christmas, I think. He put a great shot on goal. He's always had talent, he's just taken this long, maybe, to settle in and make some good things happen."
Things looked great for the Terriers in the first 10 minutes of the game, as they surged out of the gates and had MSU pinned in its own end for long stretches of time, creating several strong scoring opportunities.
"What goes through your mind very honestly is, 'Oh, boy. Here they come,'" said Comley. "And they were roaring at us, so what you're wondering is now, can you react to it? At times this year we have reacted to it well, and at other times we haven't, to be honest with you."
Just over five minutes into the game, Terrier Jason Lawrence won a draw and slipped the puck to Kenny Roche, who unleashed a wrister from the top of the left circle that clanked off the crossbar.
Instead of feeling discouraged, the Terriers turned the pressure up to the next level. Just a minute later, junior forward Ryan Weston finally beat goaltender Jeff Lerg with a tremendous skill play. Skating around the right post, Weston got an initial shot on net and then batted his own rebound out of the air for the early 1-0 lead.
"I'm feeling pretty good, the way we're playing in the first period. I thought my team was playing very, very well," Parker said.
But a fortunate carom off the glass behind the BU net completely turned the momentum in favor of the Spartans. With MSU on the power play, a Terrier defenseman attempted to ring the puck along the glass and out of the zone, but the rubber caught a seam in the glass and bounced directly onto Tim Kennedy's stick. BU netminder John Curry made an initial save, but was out of position for Kennedy's backhanded rebound.
"We did everything right and it goes off the stantion and just shot the puck back to him," said Parker. "You can't help that; that's just a bad bounce for us."
It was all Spartans from that moment through the rest of the game.
A pair of Tims paced MSU. Kennedy added an assist to his first period goal, and fellow sophomore Tim Crowder notched a pair of goals for the Spartans. The duo combined for the game-winner just 1:11 into the middle frame.
Defenseman Tyler Howells sent Crowder down the right boards, and the lanky winger fired a long shot on Curry, who kicked the puck up the left dashers. Kennedy raced up the left wall and fired the rebound back to Crowder, who was racing to the backdoor for an easy tap-in goal.
Jeff Lerg had a better night than John Curry in a battle of top-notch goaltenders, making 27 stops on 28 shots and frustrating a Terrier offense that has struggled to score all season long. Although Lerg was strong in net, much of the credit should go to his defensive corps, which seemed to tie up every BU stick and chase down every rebound that its goaltender allowed.
Despite BU's struggles in its own end, Curry could not be faulted for the loss. The senior netminder made several spectacular saves on the evening, none bigger than a breakaway stop on Justin Abdelkader that Curry just made look effortless.
Still, Curry was disappointed with his own play in his last college game, allowing five goals on 28 shots. "I just didn't make the stops we needed to keep it close," he said.
For the Terriers, tonight's game marked the last chapter of a season that could be described best with one word: inconsistency.
"We had a few chances in the second period, but in general, it was what we've been a lot this year, inconsistent," said Parker. "If we could have played anywhere near as well as we played in the first period in the next two, we would have had a chance to win that game."
While senior captain Sean Sullivan was clearly disappointed in the way his team played, he was visibly shaken when he realized that he would be sharing a locker room with his teammates and coaches for the last time.
"That's 25 of my best friends," said Sullivan. "With how hard we worked in the summer, we feel that we deserve better. But it's been a privilege to put on the scarlet and white and I've met some unbelievable people here. It's been the best four years of my life."
On the other bench, Comley was excited for the opportunity to face a very sound Notre Dame team with a chance to advance to the Frozen Four in St. Louis on the line.
"We're happy to be playing in [Saturday's game]. I'm sure Notre Dame's happy to be playing in it. I thought the Huntsville kids did a great job. What an exciting hockey game and battle, the goaltender played outstanding, but I think we saw the talent of Notre Dame, too. They were very patient, they knew they were controlling play, and I think they believed totally that they would score."
The puck drops Saturday night at 8:30 p.m.

As we witnessed during the World Cup, interest in the sport of "soccer" has grown significantly in the United States. Everton's Tim Howard became a national hero and was a popular topic on mainstream television shows such as Letterman and the Tonight Show.
At the same time, Major League Soccer has seen a significant growth in attendance. In fact the first MLS match following team USA's exit from the World Cup, featuring Portland at Seattle, drew 64,000.
It's no wonder then that MLS is expanding. The league currently has 19 teams and will be up to 21 by the time the 2015 MLS season begins next March. One of these teams is New York City Football Club. A joint venture of the New York Yankees and Manchester City, NYCFC will play their home matches at Yankee Stadium.
Despite the fact that NYCFC has yet to build a team (as of this writing the NYCFC squad is made up of six players), they have already made headlines with the signings of David Villa and Frank Lampard.
I'm sure that NYCFC will draw fans from within the five boroughs and develop their own fan base; however, I wonder what kind of affect the arrival of NYCFC will have on the area's original MLS team, the New York Red Bulls.
I can see the Red Bulls taking a hit with regards to soccer fans from Long Island, the northern suburbs and the city. The casual fan may abandon the Red Bulls simply because NYCFC's matches will be easier to get to.
The Red Bulls have made great inroads within the tri-state area and deserve credit for growing the profile of professional soccer in the New York area. In addition to signing stars such as Thierry Henry and Tim Cahill, the Red Bulls built a beautiful soccer specific stadium that is modeled after similar sized European arenas.
Though they are named the New York Red Bulls, the team is actually located in New Jersey. The Harrison area is rather run down and has seen better days. For those of us that live in the city, getting to Red Bull Arena is an ordeal. Despite the fact that the stadium is just less than 17 miles away from Manhattan, it takes those using public transportation approximately 2 hours to travel to see the Red Bulls. Added to the journey is the insanity that is the Harrison train station. Just exiting the station is a hassle as there is one set of stairs that leads down to the narrow exit. Getting back on the train is even worse as you actually have to wait in a line as the entrance can only accommodate a few people at a time.
Fans from the city have put up with this over the years as the Red Bulls were the only game in town. I'm afraid that many fans will desert the Red Bulls and the ridiculous journey to New Jersey for NYCFC and Yankee Stadium. As baseball fans in the area know, Yankee Stadium can easily be reached by either the 4 or B and D trains which let fans off right at the Stadium.
My hope is that both teams are able to keep and develop its own following. One thing that is certain is we will soon find out whether there is enough of a soccer fan base in New York area to accommodate both the Red Bulls and NYCFC.

Registration & Networking Breakfast
Honesty Breakfast: The Year in Winning and Losing At Digital Media
We start min day with our traditional opening questions of magazine-media executives. They'll tell us what worked and what didn't in the last 12 months, and from our panelists' responses you'll gain essential business intelligence about the successes of your own initiatives. Magazine brands, like all other media, are in perpetual experimentation mode on mobile, paid content, social, tablet, video and e-commerce platforms. Three executives sprint quickly through the ideas that won and lost. What bright shiny objects in the digital sky shone, and which came crashing to earth? We start the min day digital Summit with practical lessons from the brands that are reconnoitering the new terrain.
9:30 - 10:15 a.m.
What Media Buyers Want: Providing Value in a World of Native Advertising and Programmatic Buying
Our longstanding min day Summit check-in with media buyers focuses on the key theme of 2013 for marketing departments and agencies: Deliver more bang for less buck. And we go straight to the buyers for their best examples of how magazine brands successfully amplified their campaigns to drive more value from their budget. It is about ROI now-how publishers can help their marketing partners tie media spend back to the KPIs that matter.
10:15 -11:00 a.m.
Case Studies: E-Commerce: A Tale Of Two Cases
Magazine brands embraced e-commerce models more aggressively in the last year than ever before. From shopping carts and buy buttons on every page, to affiliate relationships with game, apparel and electronics makers, and even to co-branded standalone e-stores, media wants to sell the goods and get more direct credit for the purchases its content inspires. We walk through two different models for how magazines have gotten a piece of the fastest-growing action online-commerce.
11:00 - 11:15 a.m.
Networking Break
11:15 - Noon
Consumers Are the New Sponsors: Turning Readers Into Customers
Even without the narrowing of investment in print pages, media models of the future simply cannot rely on an ad-revenue stream that is contracting everywhere. Magazine brands are looking to the consumer to contribute a greater share to sustain the content they love. But where and how are publishers finding that money-in all-access "passes," mobile and tablet apps that accrue fees and acquire new audiences, new service-oriented products, or direct sales through e-commerce? But in all of these models the central question remains-what will the consumer pay for? What drives them from the free online-content models and low-priced print subs to which they became accustomed, to paying for content?
Noon - 1:30 p.m.
Social Media Stars Awards Luncheon & Keynote Presentation
min will honor min's Social Media Stars at this special awards luncheon. In the selection of min's Social Media Stars, our editors leveraged min's proprietary Boxscores, which track a range of success metrics in the media industry including Facebook and Twitter following and gains. In addition to looking at gross following and growth in these social networks, we factored in publications' audience and circulation, as well as their reach in conventional channels, against what they are achieving in social media. We also factored in innovation and sophistication in audience engagement based upon what we've observed in the media industry from our vantage point at min.
Keynote: BuzzFeed and the Economics of Media Disruption
BuzzFeed might be the hottest pureplay brand in the world right now. In fact, it might be the hottest media brand, period. The company is a mix of original reporting and technologies that detect what's hot and what's viral, and zeroes in on that content, delivering it to BuzzFeed readers in real time. Its advertising strategy is similarly disruptive, relying on what used to be called "advertorials" and is now known as native advertising. But at BuzzFeed, it's not just native-it's shareable. The company raised $20 million in a fourth round of funding in January, and its mission is to get big. Fast. Learn how things are progressing at BuzzFeed as COO Jon Steinberg describes advertising, content creation and audience acquisition at the fast-growing Web hub. And learn what it means for traditional-media competitors as they race to adjust to Webonomics.
1:30 - 2:15 p.m.
Synching Up With the Multi-Screen Dilemma: Go Native Or Get Responsive?
Mobile Web, half and full size tablets, apps, 'phablets' and now smart TVs! Loyal and prospective readers are engaging your brand from multiple touchpoints throughout their media consumption day, but how can publishers capture this behavior efficiently? Multi-screen access is a multi-part problem, not only involving debates over HTML5, responsive or native device design. It also includes issues of user authentication and synchronizing the user experience, shared and saved content across devices. What techniques and technologies are proving effective for magazine brands in keeping experiences flexible but seamless and consistent and capturing the user throughout the day?
2:15 - 2:45 p.m.
Case Study: Magazines in the Age of Big Data
Smart magazine publishers have always relied on their core audience data sets to drive circulation and advertising. But in the age of "big data" the inputs have grown exponentially and moved data-driven marketing to the center of business models. This case study presents how one publisher is leveraging big-data analytics and modeling to find new audiences, drive content revenues, and develop new advertising opportunities. Is data the new media?
2:45 - 3:00 p.m.
Sponsor Interlude
3:00 - 3:15 p.m.
Networking Break
3:15 - 4:00 p.m.
Managing the Social Media Playground: Staffing, Prioritizing, Testing And Measuring
In just a few years, social media has become the new distribution engine for magazine media, but have publishers' infrastructures kept pace? The small riot of platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, StumbleUpon, Reddit) presents a real challenge to resources and management. Our panel of social media leaders explores how they are balancing the needs to experiment and be ever-present on these networks with the organizational need to prioritize and amortize efforts and generate measurable results. Who owns social media in these models? How are time investments being determined? And is anyone attaching an ROI to this yet?
4:00 - 4:30 p.m.
Selling Mobile: Filling The Monetization Chasm
Let's face it. The space between mobile usage and mobile monetization is not a mere 'gap.' With some estimates of eCPMs at a fifth of their desktop counterpart, we are facing a chasm that could prove catastrophic as some publishers watch close to half of usage coming from post-PC devices. What's the answer? Cross-screen ad integrations? Richer, higher-priced units? Dedicated mobile sales forces? Or just more revenue direct from users? We feature two magazine sales teams that feel they are starting to fill the mobile chasm.
4:30-5:00 p.m.
Baker's Dozen
The min day Digital Summit tradition continues, ending with a fun and rapid-fire litany of proven money-making tips, tricks and models. Our panel of three digital-media executives will offer thirteen ideas that have paid off for them in monetizing the digital channels-from sales strategies to novel content packages, including revenue streams both big and incremental. Take out your notebooks and write fast. Thirteen money-making ideas in 30 minutes are sure to move by fast.

The New England Patriots already have a formidable secondary with the offseason additions of Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner. According to Doug Kyed of NESN Wednesday, the Patriots also have their eye on free-agent cornerback Brandon Flowers, who was recently released from the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Patriots already have a secondary good enough to earn compliments from Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. If they can somehow bring in Flowers, the Patriots may have a secondary equal to, if not better than the Super Bowl champions. According to sources, the Patriots have shown just a "little interest" in Flowers, but a little interest has a way of escalating in the NFL.
Bill Belichick and company would also have to convince Flowers to accept less money to come to New England. The 2013 Pro Bowl selection was just entering the fourth year of a five-year, $50 million contract when the Chiefs cut him last Friday. He is expected to ask for something that may be out of the range of what the Patriots can pay since the team is already shelling out big bucks for Darrelle Revis and have started preliminary discussions with safety Devin McCourty on a new deal.
Flowers is a player who struggled a bit last season with the Chiefs, but is still considered a top corner. He has also received interest from the Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings. Flowers did visit the San Diego Chargers on Wednesday. The rival New York Jets may also enter into the mix.
According to ESPN, Jets head coach Rex Ryan isn't ruling out the possibility. The team expects a big leap from second-year cornerback Dee Milliner and have signed free agent Dimitri Patterson. Ryan, like Belichick, may be willing to get a little greedy. He at the Jets' mandatory minicamp, "I'm happy with what we have, but I'm not going to shut the door on any player that we think could possibly help our football team. We'll certainly look at it, for sure."
As for the Patriots, the team may be looking for depth. With the history of injuries that seem to take place in the secondary, Belichick may consider Flowers as an insurance policy in case someone goes down. The Patriots will also be without the services of Brandon Browner for the first four games of the season.

The decision to buy a Ural was a tough one. To go from the smoothness and guaranteed reliability of a Honda ST1100 into the unknown of a Russian copy of a 1930's BMW was a leap that would make anyone hesitate.
I read every forum I could find for over six months, visited the dealer many times 'kicking tyres' and asking stupid questions and finally took one for a test ride. Now bear in mind I had never ridden a sidecar before and my other half had never ridden in one. Off we went for a couple of hours; we never went over 70kph, never pushed any boundaries, just pottered around quiet roads and dropped into home for a coffee and to talk it over.
First impressions - damn it's different. But fun.
Our daughter came out to see it and announced that if we bought that bike she was leaving home. It was a desert camo bike which she said looked like mouldy cheese. Hmmph.
Anyhow... we returned the outfit without drama and agreed that it had produced more 'smiles per mile' than anything we could remember. We were committed.
We are near Newcastle, Australia, so the two wheel drive models available overseas were not an option for us. I don't care, it's going to be pretty much a road-going Ural.

The Joker has been played by many talented actors including Jack Nicholson in the 1989 Batman movie and, of course, Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. He has a complicated personality that embraces insanity but manages to be a cunning criminal that constantly brings Gotham City to its knees none the less. It you've decided to adopt this character as your own for a night, brush up on some Joker mannerisms with our suggested poses below.
The Joker always manages to shock and surprise when taunting Batman or the citizens of Gotham, but it's when he's quietly thinking of his next evil plan that you should be most afraid.
Despite his reputation of telling jokes and laughing manically, the Joker doesn't tolerate people who taunt him or get in the way of his goals. If they do, they get to see his serious side and it isn't very nice.
See someone acting foolish? Did they tell a boring joke? The Joker is happy to reward their efforts with a slow clap. That'll wipe the stupid smile off their faces.
As a master of wit and practical jokes himself, the Joker is rarely impressed with the work of others. He might give them a chance, but will quickly make his disdain known.

NSS Scholarship to the International Space University
2008 Winners
The National Space Society is pleased to announce the selection of the two winners of the Society's 2008 International Space University scholarship. ISU is the international, intercultural, interdisciplinary institution founded to develop young space leaders. Based in Strasbourg, France, ISU holds its annual summer program in a different location each year. This year, the summer session will be held in Barcelona, Spain, and both of our winners will attend.
Jaganath Sankaran
Jaganath Sankaran has an engineering undergraduate degree and four years of work experience at India's national aerospace research laboratories. He is now a graduate student at the University of Maryland's Master of Engineering and Public Policy program. His concentration in the program is in international security and economic policy with a focus on space weapons policy. Sankaran expects to graduate from his master's program into a doctorate in public policy at the University of Maryland.
Given his multidimensional interest in international security and space policy, the ISU summer sessions program is an ideal fit for him. He intends to benefi t immensely from participation in the 2008 ISU summer session and from the NSS scholarship that has enabled his attendance at the program. "I would... endeavor to maximize on the opportunities that the summer school provides, like the possibility of designing and flying a sounding rocket or the possibility of working in a neutral buoyancy lab. These are rare learning experiences that would enrich my engineering knowledge," Sankaran writes.
ankaran's interest in space weapons and international space cooperation stems from his experience at India's defense laboratories where he was able to observe fi rst-hand the means by which national aerospace policies are formulated and ways in which they are influenced by national defense policies. In his future career, Sankaran intends to work with international organizations that deal with international security policies before returning to India to work with the government there.
Mariel John
Mariel John has been involved in various aspects of the space industry throughout her undergraduate and graduate education, and is excited to take part in the multidisciplinary educational opportunity offered by ISU. John is currently pursuing a master's degree at George Washington University in international science and technology policy, with a concentration in space policy. She earned a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and has worked as a systems engineer at Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems for approximately two years.
In 2003, John worked in the MIT Man-Vehicle lab, focusing on advanced space suit design and materials research. In 2004, she worked at the NASA Headquarters Office of Physical and Biological Research, resulting in a published paper on NASA research policies. In 2006, she worked with a team of students at MIT on the design of a Mars rover. Most recently, she has done research on space weather and is currently completing a report on its effects on aviation and space systems. She is also working with the Space Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters, researching and writing about benefits of the International Space Station.
John is also interested in the international aspect of studying at ISU. During her undergraduate education, John studied abroad in Cambridge, England for one year and completed a minor in applied international studies.

Live Social Intrapreneurship Google+ Hangout — Thursday December 13, 10-11am ET
Editor's Note: This article was written by Marzena Zukowska, Media Manager at Ashoka Changemakers.
How can the world address some of the greatest social challenges in a way that is both sustainable and scalable?
Eli Malinsky, executive director of the new Center for Social Innovation in New York City, shared a trend for the future of social innovation: "We need to move the corporate needle closer and closer towards social change. Looking through this lens of social entrepreneurship, large corporations and multinationals can scale social impact to unprecedented levels through pragmatic, incremental changes."
With that said, harnessing social impact does not have to be pushed to the fringes of a remote CSR strategy, but can actually offer smart returns. More and more, investing in "bottom of the pyramid" markets or developing environmentally responsible products is being woven directly into the business strategy of some of the world's largest corporate firms.
But who are these corporate weavers, shifting the business needle towards delivering unmatched social change? They are a lost tribe of social innovators building better business from the inside out and breaking down silos between sectors in their wake: social intrapreneurs. To find them and harness their potential, Ashoka Changemakers and Accenture, as the convening sponsor, have joined forces to run the inaugural League of Social Intrapreneurs online competition.
With the competition deadline slowly nearing, we invite you to tune into a Google+ Hangout with the competition's early entry prize winners on Thursday, December 13, from 10-11 a.m. EST.
UPDATE: This event offers the opportunity to dig deeper into the "how" of social intrapreneurship through the direct work and experiences of two groups of entrants and other participants:
- Amy Chen, Director of Sales at PepsiCo
- Matt Smith, part of Food for Good Team at PepsiCo
- Michelle Wobker and Dwight Walker, team of scientists at GlaxoSmithKline
- Gib Bulloch, Executive Director of Accenture Development Partnerships
- Akhil Almeida, Head of Corporate Brand Council, Mahindra Group
- Vallabh Rao, blogger for Social Earth, Social Edge and NextBillion
- Fernanda Tambelini, editor for NextBillion Brazil
- Vibhu Arya, writer for Think Change India
- Will Sloan, writer for YourStory.in
Watching the Hangout and participating in the conversation is easy:
- Watch the Google Hangout live by tuning into our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/user/ChangemakersNet.
- Log-in to your Twitter account a little before 10 a.m. EST.
- Use the #SocInt hashtag to make your Hangout comments visible in the stream.
- Introduce yourself and take a minute to get to know the other chatters when you join.
- Send your questions for participants to @changemakers and/or @SocIntLeague. The top questions will be publically featured in the last 10 minutes of the Hangout.
Be sure to invite your friends and followers to join the discussion, too. The best way is to post a tweet or Facebook post like this one:
Can you be a social innovator at a corporation? Live chat with @changemakers, @SocIntLeague & early winners on 12/13 from 10-11am ET #SocInt
Also mark your calendars for a Twitter-based chat next week on "The Future of Social Entrepreneurship," where leaders at citizen sector organizations will convene to discuss this and other trends in social innovation. Join via the hashtag #SocEntChat on Twitter on December 19, from 3-4:30pm ET.
If you are unable to attend these live events, detailed recaps of the will be made available. Please contact Marzena Zukowska (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information about the Google+ Hangout.
See you on Thursday, corporate changemakers!

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Chef Roble girlfriend 2013 reports heat up tonight's episode leaving viewers guessing who is Chef Roble dating 2013, is Roble dating Dan Cathcart, and did Roble and Ayan Elmi breakup? Chef Roble in 2012 was initially unsure if his Bravo show was returning for another season. But in January 2012, LALATE reported that Ayan Elmi, Chef Roble's then girlfriend, had joined Wilhelmina Models NY. But tonight, Roble is clear about two subjects. First, he and Ayan Elmi are done. Second, he is surprised by claims that Dan Cathcart might have a love interest in him.
So why did Chef Roble and 2012 girlfriend, Ayan Elmi (photos below) breakup? This season, Roble will deal with the breakup. "In his personal life, Roble is back on the market after a recent breakup with his long-term girlfriend", Bravo said in a news statement in April. Bravo ironically lists his "high-end clientele" this season on the show as including "Phaedra Parks of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta.' "

Ironically, in February, LALATE exclusively reported that Bravo slated Kenya Moore and Chef Roble to appear in a Valentine's Day Special with Patti Stanger. Bravo said of Kenya and Roble "Patti will also aim her love arrow and select special dates for Chef Roble Ali of "Chef Roble & Co." and Kenya Moore of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and surprise a Bravolebrity with some love tips for that special someone."

But in the end, it was Roble who got the date, not Kenya, who was by that time no longer single. Bravo says of tonight's episode "Meanwhile, Roble's assistant, Dan, performs her first single in front of the crew, and Jasmine suspects the emotional lyrics are about her brother."

Tom Brokaw was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting blood cells in the bone marrow, in August 2013 at the Mayo Clinic. Mr. Brokaw and his physicians are "very encouraged with his progress." Brokaw has continued to work for NBC throughout his treatments.
Mr. Brokaw, 74, is television journalist and author best known as the anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News from 1982 to 2004. He is the author of The Greatest Generation (1998) and other books and the recipient of numerous awards and honors. He is the only person to host all three major NBC News programs: The Today Show, NBC Nightly News, and, briefly, Meet. He now serves as a Special Correspondent for NBC News and works on documentaries for other outlets. source
This is the second time in as many months that this Examiner has heard of someone with multiple myeloma so let's take a look at what this cancer is and the treatment and prognosis. This cancer varies from person to person. Early in the disease, the condition may not cause any symptoms, called smoldering multiple myeloma. As the disease progresses, it's likely that you'll experience at least one of the four major problems common to multiple myeloma, which include a high level of calcium in your blood, kidney (renal) failure anemia-related fatigue, bone damage and fractures, repeated infections — such as pneumonia, sinusitis, bladder or kidney infections, skin infections, and shingles, weakness, weight loss and/or numbness in your legs.
In the case of my friend, she was very thirsty and tired. Tests ruled out diabetes and eventually the diagnosis of multiple myeloma was given to her.
The exact cause isn't known; however, doctors do know that multiple myeloma begins with one abnormal plasma cell in your bone marrow — the soft, blood-producing tissue that fills in the center of most of your bones. This abnormal cell then starts to multiply.
Risk factors include being in your mid-60s and being obese, black, and a man. My friend is a thin, white woman who was 62 at the time of diagnosis. Tom Brokaw is a fit, white male in his 70s.
Though there's no cure for multiple myeloma, with good treatment results you can usually return to near-normal activity. You may wish to consider approved clinical trials as an option. This friend is in a trial at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA.
Standard treatment options include: Bortezomib (Velcade), which was the first approved drug in a new class of medications called proteasome inhibitors and other drugs. Chemotherapy involves using medicines — taken orally as a pill or given through an intravenous (IV) injection — to kill myeloma cells. Corticosteroids, such as prednisone and dexamethasone, have been used for decades to treat multiple myeloma. They are typically given in pill form.
Stem cell transplantation involves using high-dose chemotherapy along with transfusion of previously collected immature blood cells (stem cells) to replace diseased or damaged marrow. The stem cells can come from you or from a donor, and they may be from either blood or bone marrow. Radiation therapy uses high-energy penetrating waves to damage myeloma cells and stop their growth.
In a statement, published on NBCNews.com, Brokaw said he and physicians at the Mayo Clinic were very encouraged with his progress. "With the exceptional support of my family, medical team and friends, I am very optimistic about the future and look forward to continuing my life, my work and adventures still to come," Brokaw wrote. source
Prognosis has been purposely left out of this article because
1. It varies person to person.
2. It has changed over the years.
Let's leave it that the life-span of the person with this diagnosis has increased markedly over the years.

Markstrom and Upshall to see specialists
Panthers rookie goalie Jacob Markstrom, whose first season in the AHL last year was cut short by knee surgery, tweaked the same knee reportedly in practice Saturday and after team doctors examined his MRI, have decided to send him to renowned sports surgeon Dr. John Uribe for a second opinion. This can't be good.
So Brian Foster, whose been shuttling back and forth from the ECHL (Cyclones) and AHL (Rampage) whenever Markstrom was needed to come up to the Panthers when Scott Clemmensen and now Jose Theodore went down, will serve as a backup to Clemmensen in tonight's game against the Western Conference-leading Canucks.
Dineen said the MRI was encouraging and he was leaning more toward, "the positive then otherwise." Foster wasn't at morning skate but is expected for the game.
Forward Scottie Upshall, who has been out Nov. 11 with a hip injury, has been skating lately and did again this morning, however, he is also leaving town today to seek a second opinion. "From the way he's skated the last couple of weeks has been very encouraging for us," Dineen said.
Jack Skille (shoulder) is skating and looking good. "He had some jump, his feet are moving, but in saying that for Jack to be an effective player he's got to play a physical game and that hasn't been fully established yet," Dineen said.

After being severely injured in a car crash, the former "30 Rock" actor has been discharged from the hospital after spending nearly 5 weeks in the hospital.
Tracy Morgan was driving home from a comedy gig when a Walmart truck, going well above the speed limit, crashed into his limo leaving fellow comedian James McNair (Jimmy Mack) dead and others severely injured. Morgan suffered from a broken nose, broken ribs and a broken leg. His assistant, Jeffrey Millea, and comedian Ardie Fuqua Jr. were, too, injured from the crash.
Spokesman Lewis Kay said that Tracy will be returning home and undergoing "an aggressive outpatient program."And Morgan made sure Kay relayed his gratitude for his fans during this difficult time. "He asked me to pass along his sincerest gratitude to everyone who has helped him get to this point."
The comedian, who was a regular on "Saturday Night Live" and a "30 Rock" cast member, and his lawyers sued Walmart this past Thursday for "negligence." Evidence is pointing towards the possibility that the Walmart driver, Kevin Roper, was almost at his drive time limit resulting in unsafe driving as it is thought that he was awake for more than 24 hours.
Walmart released a statement, "This has been a terrible tragedy. We wish Mr. Morgan, Mr. Fuqua Jr., and Mr. Millea full recoveries," Walmart said. "Our thoughts continue to go out to them, their families and friends, as well as to the families and friends of everyone involved, including Mr. McNair who lost his life. We are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved.

The American Bar Association's list of the top 100 blawgs is out, and voting is open. Voting is open from now to Friday, Dec. 21st.
Once again, no ERISA-related blogs are on the list, but, as we all know, everyone on the list, and everyone reading the list, either has a qualified plan, or should have a qualified plan, so, as Cub fans say, there is always next year. I am happy to see that TaxProf made the list again this year (even though I was expecting it because he has made every ABA Top 100 Blog list since the ABA has been compiling the list). TaxProf is written by Prof. Paul Caron of the University of Cincinnati College of Law. (Go Bearcats!) This is the last year I will share a UC Law connection with Prof. Caron because he is moving to Pepperdine at the end of this school year.
Oddest blog on the list is ZombieLaw by Josh Warren, which is devoted to documenting when judges and litigators cite to the living dead. I haven't had a chance to read many entries, but am hoping it is somewhere between The Walking Dead and Jerry Garcia post-1995, but for lawyers and judges.

A mystery shadow
Turkish has one word, gölge, to mean both "shade" and "shadow". Because I was not used to distinguishing between those 2 meanings, when I was new in this country I would often use "shade" to mean "shadow" or vice versa. My wife (maybe we weren't yet married then), a native English speaker, would correct me: You mean "in the shade".
Earlier today while playing with Google Earth, I noticed an interesting shadow along the railroad tracks not too far from my house.
At first, one sees what seems to be a series of shadows cast by some trees. But a closer look at the one above the green patch makes one wonder if it may have been cast by something else, although nothing unusual is visible in the picture.
But, I am not being entirely honest here. I cut out the top of the railroad tracks (and turned the picture). In the full picture below, you will find the answer.
There is a signal post on each side of the tracks and those peculiar shadows belong to them. (I know those are signal posts, because I have been there.)
I suppose this is how military personnel whose job is to interpret aerial photographs learn how to recognize ground features in photographs: by first learning what known objects look like in aerial photographs.

Deicing runoff diverted
The Port of Portland upgraded its deicing infrastructure at Portland International Airport to meet new state and federal effluent discharge standards, in time to process runway and aircraft deicers in the 2011–2012 winter season. Photo: Port of Portland
An aerial photo shows the plan to upgrade the airport's deicing infrastructure, including collecting runoff water from a drainage basin (shown as Drainage Basin 1), constructing a new outfall to the Columbia River (in purple), and adding onsite treatment and storage capacity (see legend for the new treatment building and pump stations). Photo: JE Dunn
Two anaerobic fluidized bed reactors in Portland International Airport's new 12,000-square-foot treatment facility reduce discharge to the Columbia Slough by 89% and help the aiport meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements. Photo: Port of Portland
Working in the flight path
The contractors installed more than six miles of underground conveyance piping to move stormwater from one side of the airport to the other. The project team chose the long bore method of underground horizontal directional drilling (HDD) for some sections of pipe, rather than cut-and-cover underground installation, to avoid interference and disruption to active airport operations and tenants, avoid critical utility and navigation systems, and to mitigate environmental impacts.
JE Dunn used building information modeling (BIM) to coordinate the pipe routing and alignment underground. To ensure all project teams were on the same page, all BIM efforts were compiled into a single model.
"It definitely wasn't a typical construction project," says Jason Schaumberg, BIM coordinator for JE Dunn. "The quantity of underground and above-ground piping was intense, and we couldn't risk coming up short and drilling through a runway. The only way to coordinate accurately and efficiently was by using BIM."
This year, the U.S. EPA issued new guidelines and source performance standards for discharges from airport deicing operations that will impact all airports built in the future. (Existing airports will continue to be regulated by state guidelines.)
The requirements generally apply to wastewater associated with the deicing of airfield pavement at primary airports, in accordance with the Clean Water Act. Visit http://water.epa.gov and search "aviation guidelines" for detailed information, including:
The combination of BIM and HDD allowed the project team to successfully pull more than 3,700 feet of heavy-duty polyvinyl chloride pipes through a 40-inch bored hole, making this the longest dual-pipe HDD installation completed in the U.S. in 2010. Placing the river discharge section of pipe entailed drilling under a Columbia River dike with a busy highway on top. The river work had to be coordinated within a narrow window of time to avoid conflict with fish migration. To meet this requirement, the HDPE piping was prefabricated and fusion welded offsite. After the hole to the river was bored, contractors floated the pipe up the river and pulled it through the hole.
This year, the U.S. EPA issued new guidelines and source performance standards discharges from airport deicing operations that will impact all airports built in the future, including:
The Port of Portland also complies with effluent limitation guidelines and statutes set by the state of Oregon:
Because the new facility and storage tanks are located at the end of active runways, the project team coordinated with airport operations personnel daily to sequence their work and meet construction schedules. Equipment such as cranes, concrete pumps, and lift equipment were limited to a height restriction due to air traffic. Any time a crane boom had to be raised or lowered more than 40 feet, contractors contacted the control tower for permission. Certain operations were scheduled during slower traffic periods. For instance, the process reactors were set with a large crane in the middle of the night, during a coordinated runway shutdown.
Communicating with all of the airport's numerous stakeholders — including the airlines themselves — kept the project on schedule. Specifications were clear about coordinating with airport departments including wildlife, security, TSA, environmental, and deicing operations. The project team held regular open meetings, allowing stakeholders to voice any concerns and discuss possible solutions immediately. Weekly meetings also were conducted to integrate this stakeholder information into a working model that JE Dunn, the designers, and the Port of Portland could implement.
Additionally, environmental reports were required after rain events or when the team used any hazardous materials. The Port Fire & Rescue Department had to be notified before any work involving open flame. Port security wanted thorough criminal history background checks on laborers and adequate security badge management. Finally, the construction team kept the Port inspection team informed of work activities on a daily basis.
The project provided the Port of Portland with a long-term solution to improve water quality in the Columbia Slough while minimizing energy use — and it met all regulatory milestones established by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.
The new water treatment facility also reduces energy costs. Methane biogas produced by the microbes in the anaerobic system is collected and used to fuel the hot-water system. The heating system then heats the reactors and building via a hot-water heating loop. The treatment site's 540 square feet of solar panels reduce energy demand by providing approximately 6,700 kilowatt-hours per year.
Construction took 761 days and did not incur a single lost-time accident. The project was completed under budget and 12 weeks ahead of schedule to allow for an extended start-up and commissioning period. This ensured the plant would be completely ready for any early winter season weather events and the start of the 2011 –2012 deicing season.

At the core of the water treatment facility are two anaerobic fluidized bed reactors, designed by Gresham, Smith & Partners. Deicer runoff is passed through a bed of granular-activated carbon, suspending and mixing the media. This allows microorganisms to grow on the entire outer surface of the carbon, which absorb the organic compounds from the deicer fluid and break them down. They convert the effluent to water, carbon dioxide, and methane, which then flow into a separator where gravity forces denser solids to the bottom, and lighter solids and water migrate to the top. The water is clarified and discharged.
After treatment, the system discharges the treated effluent to the Columbia River or to the sanitary system in compliance with permit requirements. On average, the new system will reduce discharge to the Columbia Slough by 89% and meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements.
The entire process — storage, conveyance, treatment, and discharge — is remotely monitored using a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Specialized instruments monitor biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) to identify chemical concentration, flow rates, and permit limits. This real-time monitoring and automation helps plant operators determine and control the options for water storage, treatment, and release.

Arizona Women's Basketball
Pre-NCAA Tournament Quotes
March 16, 2004
Head coach Joan Bonvicini
What are your thoughts about Michigan State?
"We know Michigan State is a good team, and the game is going to be exciting. We have some similarities, with both teams being tall up front, both teams go about seven players deep, and both teams are fairly young. We start one senior, they have a senior who comes off the bench."
"Both teams are young, but that is where the similarities end. In terms of playing style, they are more of a zone, match-up zone team. Michigan State puts pressure with some presses, and they like ball control."
"Michigan State is one of the best teams in the country in terms of defensive points allowed, and we like to get out and run."
How do you feel about your team?
"I feel really good about our team. I think we are peaking at the right time. We have a very good basketball team, I believe the best team we have ever had at Arizona."
What are your thoughts about playing on the road?
"The last three weeks we were on the road. We played up at Washington and swept that series, and we were at San Jose (Calif.), which was more of a neutral site. We have a good team, and I have a lot of confidence in our ability playing on the road."
What are your thoughts on your team's No. 9 seed?
"I have coached a long time. This is my 16th year of coaching teams in the NCAA Tournament. This is the lowest seed of any team I have ever coached. This is the lowest seed of any team I have had at Arizona, and this is the best team Arizona has ever had."
"I was surprised. I was even more surprised to be sent to Austin, Texas, rather than Tempe, Ariz. The West didn't get any respect whatsoever. Speaking on the behalf of not only Arizona, but also the Pac-10, the schools from the West are coming out with a chip on their shoulders. I hope every team from the West does really well."
Junior guard Dee-Dee Wheeler
Has the rest from a long break helped the team?
"Our team is rested, we needed the rest. We go about seven players deep, so our team will benefit from the time we have had to rest and prepare."
What do you know about Michigan State?
"Michigan State is a team that likes to play physical, similar to Big Ten teams. They are not quick compared to us and other teams in the Pac-10. Wwe like to get up and down the court and run. So, they are a team that is very different from us in terms of playing style."
How prepared is Arizona for this game?
"Stanford really prepared us. Stanford is one of the best teams in the country. It prepared us in terms of outside shooting, and playing against Nicole Powell, who is one of the best players in the country, prepared us for other great players we will face."
"We take from the Pac-10 our transition game, so hopefully that will help us."
How do you feel about playing as a No. 9 seed?
"It shocked us. We wanted to go to Tempe and play close to home. It shows that the Pac-10 teams didn't get any respect, and that the West coast teams didn't get any respect."
"We have to take it one game at a time."
Senior guard Aimee Grzyb
Will Arizona come out and play hard because of its low seed?
"It doesn't seem like the Pac-10 gets any respect. All we can do right now is play our best and hope that the other Pac-10 schools do the same, and gain some respect by winning."
How do you feel about playing in Texas?
"That is going to be difficult to play in Texas. We first have to play Michigan State, and we have been slowly learning about them. We know that they are a very good team."
How comfortable is Arizona playing on the road?
"I think that we went on the road at Washington and started a trend of winning on the road. We then went to the Pac-10 Tournament, and played all right there on a neutral court. The first round of the NCAA Tournament is also a neutral court, so it is something that we have faced before."
How do you feel Arizona will respond from the long rest?
"We are going to be ready, we need the rest. A lot of our starters were banged up, and a little rest will not hurt us at all, it will help us. When it comes down to it, we will be so excited and energized to play, you won't notice the break between playing games."
"We have been conditioning a lot at practice, playing a lot of game situations so we can stay in shape and get ready for the Tournament."
What do you know about Michigan State?
"We know that they have very big post players. They like to run the zone, and they are a great zone team. They pride themselves on defense. I know that they are one of the top defending teams in the nation in terms of points allowed."
How did the Pac-10 Tournament get Arizona ready for the NCAA Tournament?
"In the Pac-10 Tournament, it was one-and-done, if you lose you are out. Being on the road and that will help us out because it is the same situation we will face in the NCAA Tournament."

The in situ gel formulation of buprenorphine showed sustained drug release for a prolonged period of time. The drug release from RG 502 followed a linear pattern throughout the dissolution without any significant burst release. The amount of buprenorphine released during the first 30 minutes, irrespective of the type of Resomer or dissolution medium, was less than 3%. Drug release continued over 55 days in phosphate buffer and 35 days in Tween 80. The in vitro dissolution method developed during this study was capable of identifying formulation differences and thus will be useful for routine drug delivery research, particularly in situ gel formulation development research. In situ gel formulations are routinely compared using animal models,21, so development of such an in vitro method will expedite formulation evaluation.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Shank, Kendra
Shank, Kendra (Ann), vocalist, guitarist, percussionist; b. Woodland, CA, 23 April 1958.
Lived in Davis, CA until her parents' divorce in 1966 when she and her mother (b. Patricia Currier, 1930 in New York, NY) moved to San Diego, CA. Kendra remained in San Diego through high school, with the exception of one academic year (1967 - 1968) in Davis, CA with her father (b. Theodore Shank, 1929 in Brawley, CA) and step-mother (b. Adele Edling, 1940 in Litchfield, MN). She has one brother (b. Stan, 1955 in Fort Ord, CA).
From the ages of 5 through 8, Kendra acted in plays at the Davis Community Theatre and at the University of California Davis, where her father, a playwright and author, taught playwrighting. Her mother was a singer and actress (she appeared in Our Gang comedies and Hollywood films as a child) who later taught junior high school Drama, Speech and English. Kendra's step-mother is also an award- winning playwright and teaches at UC San Diego.Kendra briefly took piano lessons at age 8, and studied oboe for one year at age 10, playing in her elementary-school orchestra. From the age of 11, she sang in church groups and, at 13, inspired by her brother's guitar playing, she took up the guitar with enthusiasm, taking lessons for 6 months with Bob LeBeau and then continuing on self-taught. In her formal schooling, however, she focused on two other passions: Art (she had practiced visual arts from the age of 7 and studied with a master ceramicist at age 12) and French (she studied at the Alliance Francaise in Paris in 1975 and was fluent at age 19).
During her freshman year of college (Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, WA) she sang and played guitar at open mikes on campus and at age 19, while in Paris, France, performed in the subway and sidewalk cafes for tips. On her return to the States she began gigging in bars and restaurants as a solo act and continued her part-time music career through college, receiving her BA from the University of Washington, Seattle in 1982 (double BA in Art and French, magna cum laude). Upon graduation, she went into performing music full time, establishing herself on the folk/pop scene in Seattle, WA and touring colleges on the west coast, with occasional stints as a French "chanteuse" in various French restaurants.
Inspired by the music of Billie Holiday, Kendra made her first exploration into jazz at the 1982 Bud Shank Jazz Workshop in Port Townsend, WA, where she studied with vocalist Jane Lambert. (Bud Shank may possibly be a distant relation, but is obviously not her father, as has sometimes been printed.) It wasn't until 1989, however, that she lost all interest in the music she had previously been playing and devoted herself completely to jazz. She studied with vocalist Jay Clayton (a primary influence and mentor) at Cornish College of the Arts (Seattle, WA) for one semester as a non- matriculated student and then continued to attend Clayton workshops, while transforming her folk/pop gigs into jazz gigs. She began spending half of each year in Paris, honing her skills on the club scene there, accompanied by pianists Alain Jean-Marie and Laurent de Wilde and championed by radio journalist Maurice Cullaz. In Seattle, she formed a Brazilian-flavored trio called "Zero Gravity" (1990) in which she sang and played guitar with fellow guitarist Klaus Lendzian and drummer/percussionist Luis Peralta (formerly with Dizzy Gillespie). She also formed a Seattle quintet with John Hansen (p), Jeff Johnson (b), Dean Hodges (dr) and Hans Teuber (alto, sop, tenor saxes & flute), playing in festivals and clubs.
Kendra's jazz career blossomed quickly, focusing primarily on her vocal instrument, and in 1991 she was hired by Bob Dorough as vocalist/guitarist/percussionist for his west coast tour. She soon caught the attention of jazz legend Shirley Horn who, in 1992, co- produced Kendra's debut compact disc. Horn also invited Kendra to perform as her guest at the Village Vanguard in New York City in 1982. Ms. Shank relocated to New York in 1997 and recorded two albums for Jazz Focus Records. Kendra has also played with a host of other jazz greats, including: pianists Fred Hersch, Bruce Barth, Mark Soskin, Gary Versace, Kenny Werner; guitarists John Hart, Ben Monder, John Stowell; bassists Scott Colley, Ben Allison, Ed Schuller, Drew Gress; drummers Victor Lewis, Billy Hart, Vernel Fournier, Tom Rainey; saxophonists Billy Drewes, Donny McCaslin, David Binney, Michael Blake, Tony Malaby; trombonist Jimmy Knepper; vibist Joe Locke; vocalist Jay Clayton; among many others. She has taken workshops with vocalists Mark Murphy, Sheila Jordan and Rhiannon and lessons with guitarist Ralph Towner and has, herself, taught vocal clinics at various schools and festivals, including the Jazz In Marciac Festival (France) and the Brooklyn-Queens Conservatory of Music.In 2000, Kendra played with Abbey Lincoln for a week at The Blue Note Jazz Club. Kendra tours internationally, with appearances that include The Blue Note, Birdland, Iridium, Jazz Standard, Sweet Rhythm (New York City); Blues Alley (Washington, DC); Scullers, Regatta Bar (Boston); The Green Mill (Chicago); The Dakota (Minneapolis); Jazz Alley (Seattle); Kimball's (San Francisco); Jazz Bakery (Los Angeles); Jazz a Vienne Festival, Jazz in Marciac Festival, Duc des Lombards (France); Edmonton Jazz Festival, Calgary Jazz Festival (Canada); Pitt Inn, Body and Soul (Japan); Green Dolphin, Jazz at the Nassau (South Africa); among many others.
She has been featured on National Public Radio's JazzSet (2001, 2002) and Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland (2003) and was recognized among "Talent Deserving Wider Recognition" by the Down Beat International Critics Poll (1999). Shank's CD Wish was named a "Top Ten Album" in Jazziz (1999), and her Reflections CD made the "Top Ten List" of Newsday and The Boston Globe (2000).
For many years Kendra has had a penchant for non-standard song material, performing and recording compositions by Renee Rosnes, Red Mitchell, Bob Dorough, Frank Kimbrough, Kirk Nurock, Henri Renaud, Jeff Johnson, and others. She is currently working on a recording project which will be a collection of songs composed by one of her mentors,
Victory Music Revue Vol. 1 (1986); Afterglow, with the Larry Willis Quartet plus Gary Bartz (1994, recorded 1992); Wish (1998); Reflections (2000)

Sinaloa cartel Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, reportedly the world's most powerful drug lord as the head of Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, was captured overnight in Mazatlan, Mexico. Joaquin Guzman, 56, was taken alive at a condominium in the beach resort town by United States and Mexican authorities, according to Yahoo! News on Saturday.
The capture of Joaquin Guzman ends a horrifically bloody ten years that terrorized many parts of Mexico. He was found with a woman who has been unidentified. Uncharacteristic of capturing a drug lord, not gunshots were fired during the capture. The report states that the United States Drug Enforcement Administration and the Marshals Service had a great deal to do with Guzman's capture.
Guzman is returning to prison, after having escaped in a laundry truck in 2001. When it was discovered that insiders assisted him in his escape, there were rumors that former Mexican President Felipe Calderon's government helped Guzman escape.
In the past decade, Guzman turned himself into the most powerful drug trafficker in the entire world. His wealth grew to more than $1 billion, and he was on Forbes' list of the "World's Most Powerful People."
Those speaking about the capture of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman have spoken on condition of anonymity as the government has not confirmed the capture.

On Feb. 16 CNN reports that National Geographic's "Snake Salvation" Pastor Jamie Coots has died of a snake bite. Pastor Coots was a staunch Pentecostal preacher that believed in the power of snake healing, despite the legal and health perils that it could cause him.
Pastor Coots refused medical treatment which ultimately lead to his death. He was a firm believer that poisonous snakebites will not harm believers as long as they are anointed by God. He was dead wrong. During the show, Jamie saw people die and be seriously injured to do snakebites, however, he still strongly believed that he would be saved.
The practice of handling poisonous snakes in healing practices has been outlawed in most states, however, in many Appalachian areas, it is still practiced. In February 2013 Coots was put on one year probation for bringing poisonous snakes into Tennessee where they are illegal. He was also previously arrested in 2008 for keeping 74 poisonous snakes in his home.
Pastor Jamie Coots was a third generation "serpent handler" and had hoped to pass on the church, Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name, and the practice, on to his adult son, Little Cody.
