Although rare, stent thrombosis remains a severe complication after stent implantation owing to its high morbidity and mortality. Since the introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES), most interventional centers have noted stent thrombosis up to 3 years after implantation, a complication rarely seen with bare-metal stents. Some data from large registries and meta-analyses of randomized trials indicate a higher risk for DES thrombosis, whereas others suggest an absence of such a risk. Several factors are associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis, including the procedure itself (stent malapposition and/or underexpansion, number of implanted stents, stent length, persistent slow coronary blood flow, and dissections), patient and lesion characteristics, stent design, and premature cessation of antiplatelet drugs. Drugs released from DES exert distinct biological effects, such as activation of signal transduction pathways and inhibition of cell proliferation. As a result, although primarily aimed at preventing vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration (ie, key factors in the development of restenosis), they also impair reendothelialization, which leads to delayed arterial healing, and induce tissue factor expression, which results in a prothrombogenic environment. In the same way, polymers used to load these drugs have been associated with DES thrombosis. Finally, DES impair endothelial function of the coronary artery distal to the stent, which potentially promotes the risk of ischemia and coronary occlusion. Although several reports raise the possibility of a substantially higher risk of stent thrombosis in DES, evidence remains inconclusive; as a consequence, both large-scale and long-term clinical trials, as well as further mechanistic studies, are needed. The present review focuses on the pathophysiological mechanisms and pathological findings of stent thrombosis in DES.

EUGENE, Ore. – The University of Oregon Athletics Department announced the addition of women's sand volleyball to begin NCAA competition in the spring of 2014.
Sand volleyball becomes Oregon's 12th women's program and 20th overall, and makes the UO the seventh Pac-12 institution to add the emerging sport.
"When exploring options to provide additional opportunities for female student-athletes and continue our history of commitment to Title IX, sand volleyball made the most sense at this time," said athletic director Rob Mullens. "With half of the schools in the Pac-12 sponsoring the sport and the NCAA identifying it as an emerging sport, the league structure and national growth is already in place and we can remain a nationally competitive volleyball program."
Stacy Metro, who is currently in her eight year as a full-time assistant on head coach Jim Moore's volleyball staff, will serve as the head coach for sand.
"The level of support for volleyball from the administration, university and local community is incredible," said Moore, UO's ninth-year coach, who led the Ducks to a national runner-up finish in 2012. "This is a tremendous development for our current and future student-athletes and will do nothing but strengthen the overall program."
Sand volleyball teams are required to play a minimum of eight matches within five dates with three of those dates being dual competitions. Oregon will play exclusively on the road in 2014.
"This is a very exciting opportunity personally and for Oregon volleyball," said Metro. "As someone who was able to play outside as a young player, I felt it always made me a better player indoors."
The overall number of schools committed to sand volleyball has more than doubled from 15 in 2012 to 35 programs currently competing in the sport. Once 40 Division I and II institutions sponsor varsity programs for one year, the NCAA will confirm it as a championship sport.
"It is no surprise to see Oregon take the lead on bringing Sand Volleyball to this part of the country," said AVCA executive director, Kathy DeBoer. "They understand the synergy between the sand and the court programs, they see the Title IX benefits, and they get that this is a way to add a popular sport at an affordable price. Sand volleyball will be the fastest sport ever to go from Emerging to Championship status and Oregon is a part of that growth."
The other Pac-12 schools with sand volleyball are Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, Stanford, UCLA and USC.
The Ducks, currently ranked No. 21 nationally, won a school-record 30 matches in 2012, going 16-4 to place second in the volleyball rich Pac-12. Moore was recognized as Volleyball Magazine National Coach of the Year while three UO players achieved All-America status.
Differences between court and sand volleyball
Court - Fall. Sand - Spring.
Format of play:
Court - best of five sets, games to 25-25-25-25-15
Sand - best of three sets, games to 21-21-15
Sand dual meets, the winning team is the school winning three of five matches with a school's field of five doubles teams
Both are rally scoring and must be won by two points
Number of athletes in play per team:
Court - Six
Sand - Two
Specific sand volleyball rules:
No open-handed tipping
Block touches count as first of three allowable contacts
Coaches may only speak to players during timeouts and between sets
Players switch sides of the court every seven points in a 21-point set and every five points in a 15-point set

How to Grow Longer, Stronger, and Healthier Eyelashes
Many people have short eyelashes and want to have long, thick, and glamorous eyelashes. How do you get those bold false looking eyelashes? The answer is Vaseline, also known as petroleum jelly. Here is how to use it.
1Get a small amount of petroleum jelly in your two fingers. Run the petroleum jelly in between your thumb and index finger to prepare it for rubbing onto your eyelids and eyelashes.
2Rub the petroleum jelly all over your eyelids. Go from your lash line, to your crease. Make sure it is completely covered! Once you have covered the eyelid, move down towards under your eyes, through the outer corners of your eyes. When applying the petroleum jelly under your eyes, go from your water line, to the bone under your eye.
3Use the left over petroleum jelly on your finger. Apply it to both your top, and bottom set of eyelashes. Apply it just as you would mascara.
4Go to sleep. Sweet dreams about your eyelashes!
5Wake up. Go into the bathroom, and look at your beautiful eyelashes! If there is any excess petroleum jelly, wipe it off with a wet and warm washcloth.
6Done! Enjoy your new false-like eyelashes. Go show them off to your friends and watch them be amazed!
Community Q&A
Unanswered Questions
How do you grow bottom lashes thicker and faster?
Ask a Question
- Apply the petroleum jelly before you go to sleep for best results.
- Rub a tiny bit on your bottom lash line for the same effect!
- Rub the left over petroleum jelly on your face to moisturize it. It looks greasy, but it is really good for your skin.
- Don't get the petroleum jelly in your eyes. It doesn't make you blind, but it might sting a little if you get some of that gunk in your bare eyeballs!
- This technique may not work for you depending on your body. It will definitely strengthen your eyelashes, and it may take from a night, up to 2 months for you to grow longer eyelashes.

Depression on College Campuses Conference 2005
Fighting Stigma with Knowledge and Understanding
This year over 400 individuals pre-registered, a 33% increase from last year, and over 500 participated at some point during the two days. Over 50 colleges and universities were represented. Those in attendance included students, faculty, university leaders, health professionals, and interested members of the community.
The geographical reach of the conference has continued to expand. A total of 21 states and Canada were represented this year. This ensures that information regarding the conference, its purpose, and its key messages will spread beyond those who attended or participated in the two-day event. In this sense, the conference has succeeded in raising awareness, educating the public, working to destigmatize depression, and encouraging help-seeking.
Featured speakers include: Benedetto Vitiello, M.D., Chief of the Child and Adolescent Treatment and Preventive Intervention Research Branch at the National Institute of Mental Health, Dr. Patrick Corrigan, a University of Chicago researcher and expert on stigma, and Paolo del Vecchio, Associate Director for Consumer Affairs for the Center for Mental Health Services. Other speakers include Morton Silverman, Senior Advisor to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center, Alison Malmon, the founder of Active Minds, Inc., a non-profit group promoting student mental health, and Maryanne Kirkbride, the Clinical Director for Campus Life at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Tens of thousands of refugee children are massing across the U.S. border. And we're responding like the biggest assholes on the planet. It's time to do something about it. At a minimum that means spreading the word, and speaking out. Getting more people to know that this is even happening (because the U.S. media is useless) is the first step toward effecting change. Writing your senators and congressmen (state and federal) is the second step. Tell them human decency and compassion and any sense of justice requires more, and that you approve adequate funding for a humane response to the refugee crisis, and are willing as a taxpayer to forfeit a couple bucks a year for it if need be.
If you want to cut to the chase, and just get started helping spread this message, read Hutchinson's summary and petition. And sign that. And write all your legislators. But if you need some catching up first…
Here is a quick primer on what's going on:
- Tens of thousands of refugees, most of them children, are massing across the U.S. border and are overwhelming the scant federal resources Republicans have stingily allowed to be spent.
- They are fleeing the effective equivalent of war: gang and cartel violence and oppression in nations like Honduras has reached levels unparalleled almost anywhere on earth in peacetime, with governments collapsing into near total dysfunction. Even certain provinces of Mexico are so lawless and plagued with violence that citizen militias have armed themselves and taken over, fighting back, as the Mexican government has lost all effective control (though even the militias are turning to crime–as militias tend to do…sorry, second amendment fans, this is the history that repeats itself). In Honduras, much of the country is controlled by drug gangs terrorizing the populace, the state authorities driven out or in their pocket. Similar crises are consuming Guatemala and El Salvador.
- The facilities available to house and care for these refugees, predominately in Texas, are already far beyond capacity and approaching significantly inhumane conditions. So as many as possible are being transported to refugee centers in other states, like California.
- Several buses carrying over a hundred of these Central American refugees, mostly women and children, to one such facility in Murieta, California were forced to turn around by an angry mob of hundreds of flag-waving racists…or in other words, the residents of the town of Murieta. Including the mayor.
I'm not kidding. That is actually happening. In the United States. In 2014; not 1814. Here is a full account, with photos. Hundreds of Americans (we can be certain they are almost entirely god-fearing Christians) actually angrily and violently protesting humane treatment for refugee children. Seriously. I'm most amused by one picture of a protestor carrying a sign that reads: "The WHITE HOUSE called: OBAMA & MICHELE [sic] are WAITING for you there…they love children!" followed by a little heart. Apparently lost on that woman is the fact that she basically just said she doesn't love children. And proved it not just with words. She physically prevented them from receiving humane shelter. And was fully aware that that's what she was doing. Despicable. This embarrasses me as an American.
I believe most atheists have values. Unlike the Christians (from the citizens of Murieta to pretty much the entire Republican party) who are almost literally spitting in the faces of tens of thousands of refugee children fleeing dysfunctional war-torn nations. Certainly, an atheist can't claim to be any better than raving Christian nationalists, if they literally do no better. But I'm sure we can do better, and will. Please join me in signing a statement declaring our awareness of the crisis and our call for more humane action & policy on the matter from our federal and state governments, and the American people.
Our own Sikivu Hutchinson has led the charge and composed a succinct statement I think all humane atheists can endorse: Atheist/Humanist Statement Condemning US Border Crisis & Nativist Attacks on Undocumented Immigrants.
Let's shame the Christians of this country by demonstrating not only that atheists are more just and compassionate than them, but that there are also enough of us to be a voice to be reckoned with and heard. Let's show the world that we aren't the amoral horribles Christians keep claiming we are, but that we actually care about things. Human beings in particular. And it's high time Christians started caring about human beings, too.
At an absolute minimum, we should be doing all we can to help and care for these refugees. We shouldn't be forming angry mobs denying them reasonable access to food and shelter and medical care (and justice: the opportunity to apply for resident refugee status, or humane return to their families). We should be opening our shelters to them and donating food and clothes and legal representation. And if citizens can't do that themselves, our government is obligated to. But to do this, the Office of Refugee Resettlement needs its budget increased substantially–probably by an order of magnitude, at least until the crisis is over. And maybe, I don't know, perhaps our government should be doing something to help end the crisis, by actually helping our neighbor nations in any way they ask. That also requires money. And giving a damn.
But the first order of business is funding adequate shelter, care, treatment, protection from abuse, and access to legal due process.
To catch up further on the facts of what is going on and why it has only recently ramped up to a crisis, there are two really good summaries both of which I highly recommend you read, by the LA Times and Vox.
Hutchinson also mentions the humanity of the DACA program, and I concur, it is a sensible and just immigration policy that exhibits a sense of compassion for the plight of suffering children and gives them access to justice, but DACA doesn't apply to these refugees. Nor has existing refugee policy been written for this case, which was evidently quite unanticipated by Congress (we grasp religious persecution, but rampant, murderous violence from de facto societal collapse is apparently not on people's cognitive radar as a thing). So far Obama has asked for more money to handle the crisis, but primarily more authority to deport all these kids. That's hardly the most compassionate option, but so far Congress won't even act on that request, and it's moot given that it will take months or years to do that, and in the meantime these kids (and they are mostly kids) need to be treated decently and cared for. Even schooled (think about it; imagine tens of thousands of kids stuck in refugee prison camps for a year, and not even taught anything while there, just twiddling their thumbs in overcrowded, underfunded, abusive prison conditions).
If I were president, I'd put out a national call for American families to adopt or sponsor or donate shelter or food or other aid to as many of these kids as possible, explaining their plight, and then shame every church and equivalent (religious and nonreligious) that didn't likewise promote the same request to its congregants. But I imagine that's beyond the boundaries of reality for Obama. Like I said, what he is asking for instead is greater deportation authority–to just make the problem go away. Granted, that is financially the cheapest solution, and the GOP loves saving money at human expense. But that still doesn't solve the immediate problem. More compassionate would be asking for more funding to scale up the Refugee Resettlement system (Obama has asked for two billion; Congress ought to deliver at least one), combined with oversight to ensure it is executed humanely (as reports are, so far, it hasn't been).
The (sad) irony is that this is the kind of crisis other nations deal with all the time. But the U.S. has been insulated from it for the most part. The Haitian refugee crisis is the only thing comparable, and that is barely a distant memory for most people now (being almost 25 years ago). Clinton's response to that could give some guidance (even more so since the Haitian earthquake fifteen years later): our policy may have to include actually intervening in the problem countries to help solve the causes of the crisis in the first place. But that requires Congress to care about people who aren't white, and entangles us in foreign affairs and possibly military intervention (if that's what the struggling nations ask for). And we won't get any oil out of it, so Congress probably wouldn't give a shit. But that leaves us with tens of thousands of refugees.
What is most shocking, though, is how you might not have even heard that any of this is going on.
Welcome to the uselessness of American media.

13 European ministers join together to call for urgent EU action on green growth
- Date
- 28 October 2013
LONDON: Today, European Cabinet Ministers in charge of climate and energy met in Brussels for the European Green Growth Summit, where they made the compelling case for low carbon growth in the EU.
Thirteen European ministers signed 'Going for Green Growth', a joint pamphlet which sets out the economic case for a low carbon economy and calls for three urgent EU priority actions in order to achieve the transition:
- Agree an ambitious EU 2030 Energy and Climate Policy Framework
- Reform the structure of the EU's Emissions Trading System
- Ensure the EU is able to put forward a bold emissions reduction offer at the Ban Ki-Moon-hosted World Leader's Climate Summit in 2014
Edward Davey, UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary, one of the ministers who was central to the formation of the group, said: "Thirteen EU countries and dozens of business leaders have come together to deliver a simple message - only by acting together and by showing leadership can we deliver the significant economic benefits that we have today shown is possible in tackling climate change. Businesses and investors are telling us that the EU needs to get its act together and that we need to urgently agree a 2030 Climate and Energy Framework and reform the EU ETS. Only then will investors have the confidence to put the billions into low carbon that we need. The consequences of inaction are clear. The stakes are high, if we do not act, we could all lose out in the low carbon race."
The initiative was welcomed by many of Europe's top business leaders, investors and experts, including Christiana Figueres, Secretary General, UNFCCC, who said: "I applaud the call by these countries and businesses for ambitious policy that sets the EU firmly on a course towards low carbon, green growth. Implementing clear policy frameworks that incentivize low carbon, price carbon and lay the groundwork for emission reduction commitments in 2014 are the greatest contributions governments can make towards the new, universal 2015 climate agreement currently under design."
She added: "Forward thinking businesses clearly have an interest in supporting political action toward low-carbon which will allow them to thrive in the coming green economy. This is the type of leadership we need to give the world our best chance of meeting the climate challenge."
Connie Hedegaard, EU Commissioner for Climate Action, also welcomed the move. She said: "Europe is the living proof that there is no contradiction between being green and growing the economy. Actually it is interesting that some of our greenest member states in Europe also are among those with the most solid economies.
"The more European businesses and member states work together to understand that the growth of the 21st century must be green, the better. It is in Europe's core economic interest to become more energy and resource efficient, and less dependent on imported fossil fuels. This is why the Commission is now finalizing its proposal for 2030 climate and energy targets."
You can ask Connie Hedegaard directly about the EU's challenges, goals and achievements, and other related questions, during our chat on November 5 at 2-2.45pm GMT/3-3.45pm CET, on November 5, 2013 on @ClimateGroup and #worldulike

Excessive exposure to the sun early in life can make a person look older than he/she really is. Premature wrinkling and skin damage from sun exposure is also called photoaging. Photoaging, unlike natural aging, results in coarse, dry skin, freckling, skin discoloration, leathery skin, and deep wrinkles.
To minimize the effects of photoaging, several treatment options are available for aging skin. Specific treatment for sun-damaged skin will be determined by your physician based on:
Treatment may include:
However, prevention is the key to retaining a youthful appearance. Practicing safe sun exposure habits, such as using sunscreens correctly, staying out of the sun as much as possible, and wearing protective clothing and hats, are essential to keeping the skin healthy. In addition, practicing sun safety may prevent the development of skin cancer later in life.

A recent project on social funding site Kickstarter aims to update the venerable tradition of caricatures, silhouettes, and photo portraits as treasured souvenirs from a trip to the beach. Fred Kahl, a.k.a. the Great Fredini, wants to raise money for the Coney Island Scan-A-Rama 3D Portrait Studio and he has until August 8 to reach his fundraising goal of $15,000.
Khal, a veteran sideshow performer who swallows swords and pounds nails into his noise in his spare time, holds a day job as the Creative Director of Interactivity and Gaming at New York Design Firm Funny Garbage, where he's developed numerous games and websites for clients like Cartoon Network, Sesame Workshop, HIT Entertainment, Warner Bros., PBS KIDS GO, Comedy Central, and more. Over the last two years, Kahl has focused a significant amount of his attention on 3D printing and scanning. And, if his fundraising efforts succeed, Kahl promises to give back to the 3D printing community by making the plans for his rig and workflow open source.
Here's the description of the project straight from the Kickstarter page:
"Coney Island Scan-A-Rama is an art project to scan and produce 3D printed portraits of the masses of people who visit America's playground: Coney Island. Visitors to the portrait studio will come in to get a 3D portrait taken and then a full body 3D figurine of them will be included in a 2014 installation recreating a fully populated model of Coney Island, New York's Luna Park as it stood 100 years ago!
Unlike other 3D scanning services out there that add scans of a face to an existing body model, we have devised custom hardware and a workflow to create perfect full body 3D scans that can be ready for 3D printing in minutes. At the end of this campaign, our hardware will be made open source."

The Gift
Written by Mark Davis & Marti Sharron
Every captain must steer the wheel, Not by choice but from the voice
That's in his ear, I have lived long and I've done much wrong
But I've survived through my lies, I'm still here, so all you people
Know what I say is true, that I'm here because of you, I have lived on
Yes I've made it through, you've returned your love to me
Well I felt fire and I got tired of running from the truth
And I let people down, and I wore a crown of being the biggest fool
So all you people know what I say is true, that I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes I've made it through, you've returned your love to me
There were times I had enough, I almost gave it up
But you reached out your heart to me, look what you've done now
I've become the best, oh, I'm the best I can be, oh, oh, oh
You've returned your love, the gift of love, yes, you gave this gift to me

For the second year in a row, Bulls' Center, Joakim Noah, was added to the Eastern Conference All-Star Team as a reserve. The heart and soul of the team is very deserving of it too.
He was selected by the coaches based on the stellar month he had last month, in which he averaged 13.6 points, 14.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.9 blocks per game, while helping the team to a .500 record after going 11-4. The University of Florida Center has a streak of 17 straight games with double digit rebounds.
"I'm just happy, man. I'm really happy, Noah said from a conference call Thursday night with reporters. "I'm not going to take any of these experiences for granted. I feel so blessed and really thankful."
He struggled at the start of the year because he was hurt during training camp with a sore hamstring and only played in one game. He is currently averaging 11.7 points, 11.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals per game.
"I think he's grown quite a bit. I think his playmaking has been incredible, but his defense has always been there. His rebounding has always been there, but he's much more of a complete player now, Bulls coach, Tom Thibodeau said. "I think he's gotten comfortable. The thing that I like right now, probably the biggest improvement has been his quick decision making."
Noah has had to take on more of a leadership role this season because of the season ending injury to Derrick Rose, and the trade last month of Luol Deng. Hopefully his heart, hustle, and continued great play, gets him even more all-star nods in the future.

CHICAGO -- Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville termed center Dave Bolland day-to-day with an upper-body injury following Chicago's 2-1 win against the San Jose Sharks on Friday.
Bolland played 13 shifts totaling 11:37 of ice time through two periods but did not return for the third period. His last shift of the game came right before Viktor Stalberg scored with 3:20 left in the second period to tie the game at 1-1.
Bolland has seven points in 16 games this season. He has been centering the Blackhawks' second line between right wing Patrick Kane and left wing Patrick Sharp.
He did not play Feb. 2 against Calgary due to a lower-body injury.

The folks over at Hexus in the UK have an interesting article up discussing water cooled computers and if it is here to stay, or just a passing fad - as they put it. If you're considering water-cooling your precious innards and maybe a little apprehensive about the thought of water flowing around inside your case, make time to read this article.
After installing the WaterCooling I soon found that the temperatures had changed from the previous Zalman flower setup. The CPU temp had gone down as expected, in actual fact they had dropped from 62c with the Zalman to just 47c with the WaterCooling. I am more than happy with a 100% load temp of 47c.More information @ Hexus

Mark Ballas of "Dancing With the Stars" was injured in a car accident. On Tuesday, NY Daily News shared about his big accident and how the dancing pro is doing now. Reports are that Ballas was about to turn right but a vehicle came up behind him and hit him. This vehicle was reportedly speeding.
He went to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with complaints of back pain and whiplash. Mark was released but they did give him some pain medication first. His car was actually towed away from the accident. Reports are out that Mark Ballas was not the one at fault considering that the other car was speeding.
Mark was in pain and was even told that it could get worse. For now, he will be just taking pain medication and healing. Fans of the dancing pros really hope that he will make a full recovery and soon. At this time, Mark Ballas has not released a statement about the accident.

China earthquake of magnitude 6.8 shook the far western area of Xinjiang. The area is not heavily populated and it is not yet known if there are injuries or casualties. According to Fox News on Feb. 12, the China Earthquake Networks Center measured the quake at magnitude 7.3.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-6.8 quake was centered 168 miles east-southeast of Hotan at a depth of 7.7 miles.
This China earthquake was said to have resulted in at least 20 aftershocks. Officials later said that older homes were damaged as a result but luckily no casualties had been reported yet. The temblor was epicentered in Yuitan county, a very mountainous area which experienced an even more powerful quake 6 years ago.
China earthquake was epicentered in a region many thousands of feet above sea level on the edge of a desert. In 2008 another earthquake measuring magnitude 7.2 also struck in the same area. It resulted in property damage, but no injuries.
The worst China earthquake in recent times occurred in 2008 in the Sichuan province. In the aftermath of this devastating quake some 90,000 people were dead or missing as a result.

All's quiet on the eastern spammer front!
I was wondering where all my spammers had gone, and I hope it's a long time passing before any of them show up again. Let me note that I am predicating that on a potentially risky belief that the Chinese authorities aren't going to execute any of them or anything really drastic. Even sociopathic spammers are sort of human, after all.
Also I should clarify that it isn't all the spammers, but I do track the spammers on two accounts and I had noticed drops and that the residual headers showed much less activity from China than I would have expected. It kind of makes you wonder how such visible criminals can survive. The essence of their crimes is to be visible to as many unknown people as possible, and it's not like they can avoid letting ALL of the police see them in action. From that perspective, I suppose the real question is "Why now? Why did China suddenly decide to cut it off?" I don't think it can be just because they were worried about the bad publicity.
Conspiracy time? Could it be somehow related to the American election? Romney's buddy Sheldon Adelson asked his Chinese business partners to fix things so that his candidate's reams of spam will be more visible over the next few weeks? President Obama threatened to sic Hillary on them for a similar reason? China is rounding up the spammers to auction their services to the highest bidders in support of any candidates?

Liacouras Center (map it)
1776 N Broad St
Philadelphia, PA 19121
Year Opened: 1997
Capacity: 10,206
There are no tickets available at this time.
Temple basketball is a gem of a basketball program hidden in the expanses of the big city of Philadelphia. They are sixth on the all-time basketball list, only behind the big boys of Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, Syracuse and Kansas. The Owls have appeared in 31 NCAA Tournaments over the years.
John Chaney is the retired coach who led the team to many victories, and led the school to designate the court as John Chaney Court.
The university began as a commuter school. That is why their nickname is the Owls, so as to designate the "night owls" who used to attend the many night classes offered. The university has slowly morphed into a much more residential school, with much money and commitment coming together to enhance the school and the area around it.
The state-supported school (Temple gets funding from the state, but is not fully integrated within the Pennsylvania university system) is located in a sometimes rough-and-tumble neighborhood of North Philadelphia. Templetown, as the area is often designated, centers around Broad Street.
The Liacouras Center opened originally as the Apollo at Temple. Later the name was changed to recognize former Temple University President Peter Liacouras in 2000.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
The Liacouras Center is unique when compared to many on-campus basketball arenas. It actually has a good variety of food items and stands scattered around the concourse. When one walks around the arena, you would almost wonder if you ended up in the Wells Fargo Center further down south along Broad Street.
Also, instead of the ubiquitous generic concession stands, you will find locally-recognized name brand stands, such as PJ Whelihans, Campos and Chickie's and Pete's. PJ Whelihans has a good bargain of boneless wings and fries or chicken tenders and fries, both for $10. Campos has a great cheesesteak for $10, as well.
The Chickie's and Pete's stand is always popular with its crab fries on sale for $9. Other options here are the chicken cutlet at $8.
There is even a food stand with lowered prices just for the students. This is an option not seen usually at college venues.
Generally around the venue, you will see hot dogs for $3.25, pizza for $4 and soda for $4.25 and $5.50.
The Liacouras Center also surprisingly sells beer. It is still uncommon for on-campus venues to do so and it is a bit shocking. There is one stand selling craft beer, while standard American brands are for sale elsewhere. The lines will be extremely long, as the beer sales are quite popular.
The atmosphere is good, but a bit more sedated than I would have thought. The game I attended was against the defending national champions, and the noise level was not as loud as expected.
The arena has a lower bowl that goes around the entire court, while the upper deck only goes around three sides, with the north end having a wall filled with the large eyes of an owl mural instead.
There are plenty of banners celebrating the great players and coaches that helped push along the great history of the program.
The student section, which sits in the lower north seating, is known as the Wild Cherry section. They are a good student section, but went too long between plays to gather themselves and create a commotion on the day I attended. A very good pep band also sits at the bottom of this section.
Temple's mascot is an owl. There is a live owl who comes to games, along with a stuffed roving mascot.
Templetown is one of those neighborhoods which people refer to as "up and coming." That is code for one to watch yourself and your belongings.
It really is getting better, with a very good shopping center located just south of the Liacouras Center. There is a variety of good stores and fast-casual restaurants located there, as well other areas directly off of Broad Street.
The best bet for a pre and postgame meal is the Draught Horse Pub that is literally south of the arena in the same block.
You also have all of Philadelphia just a short drive or subway ride away. Take advantage of these options. I would recommend the Good Dog Bar on 15th Street, close to Rittenhouse Square or Me 'N' Mo on South Street.
Some of the best cheesesteaks are located at Philip's Steaks at 2234 West Passyunk Avenue for traditional Philly cheesesteaks. This is not one of the more touristy spots, but is still in a safe neighborhood and offers free parking. Philip's also has a surprisingly good cheeseburger for a cheesesteak joint. Just remember you have to buy the drinks and fries at a different window than your main entree, which is a strange and unique Philly tradition.
The Wild Cherry section needs to get more organized. They show up in good numbers for games but the sound from their section really needs to be louder.
The rest of the arena is made up of pretty knowledgeable fans used to a high quality of basketball. I love Philadelphia fans, but visitors need to realize that the Temple basketball fan is the same group of people who attend the pro sports teams of the region. That means they are a bit loud and aggressive. But also a generally good group, as well. Just be warned so you are not surprised.
American Conference games will, of course, get a higher level of fan participation than early season games against lesser opponents.
Temple University and the Liacouras Center are located in North Philadelphia and not near major highways. So if travelling here by car, you will likely head to center city and head north via Broad Street. The venue is easy to find, as it is located right on Broad.
The best bet is to park in the Liacouras Parking Garage located right to the west of the arena. Expect delays exiting after the game, as most people do use this parking structure. The price is $15.
It is not recommended to park too far away on side streets. Finding a space on the tight city streets may be difficult as well, as there are safety issues if one goes too far away.
The Broad Street Line of the subway does stop right next to the arena, so that is an option if coming from the north or center city to the south.
Access around the arena concourse itself can be pretty tricky at times. It is pretty wide, but since it services the upper and lower deck simultaneously, it fills up quickly. You will also have to navigate around the beer lines, as well as lines for the bathroom.
Prices can vary by the opponent. Conference games start in the upper $20s, depending on seat location. Expect to pay $35 and upward for really close seats. It is a pretty small arena, so any seat will offer a good value. Games against smaller, non-conference foes will be cheaper. Look for specials for those games, as well.
The ticket prices are pretty fair for basketball games of this quality in such a large metropolitan city. Coupled with parking and other transportation, it still makes Temple a good value.
Check out the Hall of Fame wall in the main concourse and explore the vast history of the Temple basketball program.
There always seems to be activity going on in the concourse before the game. A DJ will often be there to entertain the Wild Cherry section upon their entrance to the facility.
Also, look for the court designated to honor coaching great John Chaney.
The Liacouras Center is a great venue jammed into a tight city location. The relatively cheap prices and the high quality of play on display makes this a great venue to watch college basketball.
Temple Owls
I agree with many of your comments regarding the Temple basketball experience. The Owls are usually a very tough team. You mentioned a few of the very good players in recent years. Other Owl standouts have included Aaron McKie and Eddie Jones - who had good NBA careers - Lynn Greer, Mark Macon and quite a few more. Fran Dunphy has continued the John Chaney tradition of defensive-minded, guard-oriented teams. As for the fans, I agree that the best bet for a good time at the Liacouras Center is to see the Owls play a very good league foe or one of their Big Five rivals - preferably Villanova or St. Joseph's. That should ensure a big, noisy crowd and a great time.

You must be a Stadium Journey member to post a comment.
When one thinks of the top programs in men's college basketball history, a few colleges rise to the top: Kansas, Duke, Syracuse, Temple. Temple? Yes, Temple, the former commuter school whose "Night Owl" students gave name to the school's mascot, is 6th all-time in NCAA Division I victories. Now, the 15,000 students who live on and around the North Philadelphia school's campus give Temple less of a commuter feel than a real city university, and they have a stadium to compete with any great mid-major in the country.
Built in 1997, the Peter J. Liacouras Center (formerly the Apollo of Temple) is a modern stadium that seats over 10,000 in the most competitive mid-major league in the country, the Atlantic 10.
Food and Beverage: A wide variety of food options are available, including beer! Food is pretty pricy for what you get though.
Atmosphere: The atmosphere varies widely depending on the opponent. Games against Big 5 opponents, particularly Villanova and and Saint Joe's, as well as upper tier A-10 teams such as Xavier bring out good crowds. For lesser opponents such as Fordham or GW, the atmosphere can be flat. The Wild Cherry student section (Cherry Crusade), however, is involved and keep things lively regardless of who the Owls are playing.
Neighborhood: Temple is located in North Philly, a wide expanse of run down ghetto and/or abandonedness. Temple's campus itself is generally well patrolled and safe, and extremely well lit after dark, but step a block or two off campus to the east (past 11th St) or west or north and you are putting yourself at serious risk. However, the campus is continuing to build and expand its tentacles and so hopefully the gentrification will continue.
Fans: The Cherry Crusade student section, despite the official review here, is good and unified, making its presence felt throughout the game. Point deductions are for the rest of the crowd which tends to be quiet most of the time, and for the fans disguised as empty seats.
Access: The Liacouras Center is conveniently located along North Broad St a few miles north of Center City. The Broad Street Subway line is conveniently nearby, but most people seem to drive here. Unfortunately the arena is not near any major highways, so if you come via Broad Street or any other street to get to Temple, there is a lot of stop and go. Many of roads that get you to Temple's campus, particularly coming from the east or west, go through very sketchy areas. Once you get there, there are garages and lots around the area for a fee, or you can try parking along the street, some parking along Broad St is metered, or you can try parking on the campus streets through it is pretty tight.
Return on investment: Temple basketball is the 6th winningest program in NCAA history, and has been a perennial Tournament team under John Chaney and now Fran Dunphy. Rumors continue to swirl that a move to the Big East is imminent. Tickets for Temple games range from $35 for lower level sideline seats, to $12 for upper level seats behind the basket. This is undoubtedly the most comfortable college basketball venue in Philly, unlike other schools in town, there are no bleachers here, every seat has a back and is cushioned. Depending on the game, odds are you'll be able to sneak down or move around without hassle. This the best bargain in the Philadelphia sports scene: a great product on the floor, a consistent winner and class act in coach Dunphy, an energetic student section. If the Big East move happens, this will become a much tougher ticket.
Extras: One point for selling beer, one point for the Wild Cherry student section, one point for the massive home court advantage (two home losses in the last 3 years), one point for coach Fran Dunphy, one point for having no bad seats in the house and the ability to move around unless the game is sold out. Subtract one point for the ticket buying process. The online ticketing system works fine, but has some pretty steep fees, and for big games or weekend matinees, the walkup lines at the ticket windows are painstakingly slow. You are best advised if purchasing tickets at the window to get there *at least* 15 minutes before tipoff.

The oldest known family of Indo-European languages is Anatolian. Luwian (or, to English speakers, Luvian) may well have been the language of Homer's Troy, destroyed ca. 1250 BC. Hittite, the oldest and most richly attested of these languages, was spoken in Central Anatolia by historical Hittite kings (ca. 1650-1180 BC) and, before that, probably as early as 2000 BC at Kanesh (Kultepe).
Before the first Hittite clay tablets were found, at the end of the 19th century, and deciphered starting in 1915, the people known from the Bible as "Hittite" were still a mystery apart from some details such as the fact that Bathsheba's first husband was a Hittite general in King David's army. The people that we call Hittites did not in fact call themselves Hittite, nor their language Hittite: their kings called their land the "Hatti Land," and Hittite scribes called their language "Nes(h)ite" (from Nesa = Kanesh).
The capital of the ancient Hittite Empire was mountaintop Hattusa, with walls a few miles in circumference. Nearby Yazilikaya was an important cult center, where the Late Hittite king Tuthaliya IV (ca. 1230 BC) venerated the Hurrian storm god Tessup. As modern Boghazkale, Hattusa lies about 100 miles east of Ankara, not too far from Çorum. One of several other Hittite sites, Kushakli-Sarissa, lies farther east near Sivas on the upper Kizil Irmak River (in Hittite the Marrasantiya, in Greek the Halys).
Although neither Hittite nor any other Anatolian language survived into the modern era, their influences are still with us among the Greek creation myths and other cultural relics. The Hittite word for 'water', watar, and other Hittite linguistic artifacts are still recognizable if one scratches the surface.
Archaeological excavations are still uncovering artifacts, including new clay tablets. Ongoing tasks include studying texts written on the tablets or inscribed in stone, completing dictionaries and grammars, and writing a Hittite history. For this work, scholars now share online resources in addition to many essential published books and journals.

Nonresident License Fees
The rising cost of nonresident hunting licenses is making it more and more difficult for average hunters to afford to hunt outside of their home state.
Key Facts:
- For most states, nonresident hunters are more affluent and urban‐centered than their resident counterparts. Again, this is not surprising given the costs associated with travel and accessing lands via leases, guides or other means.
- On a national scale, only 7 percent of nonresident hunters can be expected to purchase a hunting license in five consecutive years.
- The percentage of hunters who hunt outside of their home state has decreased 5 percent from 1996 to 2006.
While the vast majority of sportsmen don't leave their home state to hunt, the most recent U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey shows that 15 percent do travel to other states to pursue wild game. That number might be a lot higher if nonresident license fees weren't extremely expensive.
For instance, in Montana, it costs residents $20 to $25 to hunt elk, whereas nonresidents have to pay well-over $250 for an elk license. And the fee for a combination tag is $809 in 2013.
As state budgets continue to feel the economic pinch, this issue continues to be a problem for hunters wishing to travel, with states increasing nonresident license fees.

LinkedIn is Facebook for Dinosaurs
By user12601629 on Aug 20, 2007
I've been a fan of LinkedIn for a couple of years now. In the past, when I've encouraged some colleagues to sign up, I would explain that LinkedIn is like MySpace for grown ups. People I work with generally know kids who use MySpace, but they really don't know what these kids do. It's sometimes enough to get them started.
In the past month, I've been playing with Facebook. It's so much richer than LinkedIn. The interactions are richer, and the overall tone much more personal (enough so that some folks I know are a bit creeped out by it). I'd suggest people try it out. Even if you can't imagine living your life embedded in Facebook (and you really can run your life from inside it) it will give you an idea what the next generation of social networking looks like. Now, instead of telling people that LinkedIn is MySpace for grown-ups, I tell them that LinkedIn is Facebook for dinosaurs. Happy networking!

Montana's Glaciers Reach Tipping Point
The celebrated alpine glaciers of Glacier National Park (GNP) are the first dominoes to fall in a series of extinctions expected to circle the globe. While it's too late to save these famous American icefields (since existing climate change has already sealed their fate), glaciers overseas may benefit from the example of Montana.
GNP offers us the lesson that "we must limit carbon emissions today to save precious water reserves." This is the message from Dan Fagre, USGS scientist, in a new book by Christopher White on the connection between Montana and the mountains of the rest of the world.
Glacier National Park once held 150 glaciers; only 25 remain. In 2003, Fagre predicted the remaining Montana glaciers had thirty years left—till 2033. Ten years later he has revised his forecast to the early 2020s—a decade or so from now. The melting has accelerated. The crisis, Fagre points out, is all about water. Over 50 percent of the fresh water tapped by civilization—for drinking water, irrigation, and hydroelectric generation—comes from alpine glaciers. In Glacier National Park, like most mountain regions, the melt water also supports wildlife and a variety of ecosystems downstream. If all the ice were to melt, many downstream habitats would vanish like smoke.
Known to ecologists as a threshold response, such a shift in ecological resources is irreversible. Once the glaciers are gone, it will likely take thousands of years for them to return. In the meantime, nature and civilization will have to make do with far less water. In addition to the vanishing glaciers, several other tipping points are underway in GNP that threaten wildlife and habitats, partly due to melting ice. For example, the retreat of ice and snowpack encourages trees to colonize slopes at higher elevations. This ascent of treeline is crowding out alpine meadows and curtailing habitat for mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and mule deer. In an ice-free Park, meadow-loving wildlife would have even less acreage to graze.
Dan Fagre's discovery of downstream impacts from the loss of glaciers and snowpack also includes the likely impediment to avalanches, which have shaped the mountain landscape in Montana. Like fires, avalanches are violent but vital forces in alpine ecology. Snow slides, whose tracks provide firebreaks and successional habitat, may disappear altogether.
The Melting World: A Journey Across America's Vanishing Glaciers by Christopher White (St. Martin's Press [MacMillan]; Autumn 2013; Photos, 288 pages, $26.99) tracks the quest of two scientists—Dan Fagre and Clint Muhlfeld, also of the USGS—to pin-down the effects and lifespan of the retreating glaciers. On the way, the two ecologists discover tipping points at many turns in the trail. They announce climate change is too far along to save the last 25 glaciers but that the Park still affords an opportunity to document the impacts of that loss—how the dominoes fall.
Alpine ice is a logical choice for investigators of climate change worldwide. In fact, glaciers are one of the best indicators of global warming. Alpine glaciers respond to rising temperatures: Heat melts ice.
With only ten or so years left, Montana's glaciers will leave behind empty rock walls that will be a reminder of the inaction to curb climate change. They offer a preview of what will unfold in Alaska, the Cascades, the Alps, Andes, and Himalayas. According to Fagre, the reality in Montana provides a wake-up call to governments of the countries gifted with those mountain ranges. Every foreign glacier is as vulnerable as those in the American West.
Citizens as well as governments must change the course of history. "Human nature seems to work against us, however," says Fagre. "We are a reactionary species. If the Colorado River gradually loses its water because of lowered snowpack, few people complain. Yet if suddenly Phoenix has to be evacuated when there's no water left, then people will take climate change seriously. The story is the same in the Northwest."
For starters, here in Montana, people will stand up and take notice when Glacier National Park has to change its name.

I backpacked from Mexico to Canada along the crest of the Continental Divide in 1992. Little did I know that I was witnessing the final years of of the crown jewel glaciers of Glacier National Park. Tragic.
I am reminded of this head shaking quote by the Bob Lutz, former senior executive of General Motors:
The glaciers are still there. "The belief that CO? causes global warming is, in my estimation, an extreme form of environmentalism that says: The Earth is going to come to an end if we don't reduce our CO? consumption. They've been saying that since 1996, but the glaciers are still there, the polar bears are still there, Lower Manhattan is not underwater." (Julian Sancton interview with Bob Lutz, Lutz Communications, email@example.com, "Bob Lutz on the Chevy Volt—and His Future at GM," Business Week, October 13, 2011)

|Back to November Ed Reporter
|EdWatch Conference Covers Global Education, Psych Testing
Michael Chapman, of EdWatch and American Heritage Research, explained the Global Classrooms curriculum now used in many classrooms. It was hatched out of the United Nations Association of Minnesota. Its website states, "At the heart of UNA-USA's Global Classrooms program is Model United Nations." Global Classrooms unabashedly promotes world citizenship and UN governance.
Allen Quist, author of FedEd and America's Schools, and Dave Eaton, former Minnetonka, MN school board member, addressed the hot-button International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Using IB documents, Quist showed how IB and its UN partner in an international education system promotes the United Nations and global governance, while undermining America's founding principles. IB invests millions in misleading advertising.
Dave Eaton followed with specifics, such as real IB costs. Reading requirements teach pantheism and New Age spiritualism, using authors such as Joseph Campbell and Carl Sagan who directly attack Christianity and the traditional western worldview.
Three speakers addressed the ascent of psychological testing into the care and education of America's children: Dr. Karen Effrem of EdWatch, Alliance for Human Research Protection, ICSPP, and the National Physicians Center; Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America, and Carol White of African Americans Concerned Together. Universal psychological testing is mushrooming as a mandate to test, label, and frequently medicate children starting in infancy.
Larry Pratt described how concerned citizens can stop universal psychological testing laws. Because child mental health labeling, no matter how subjective or scientifically invalid, quickly becomes a bar to an adult owning a firearm, a coalition of groups in Texas, including EdWatch, Eagle Forum and GOA defeated universal psychological testing legislation in Texas.
Dr. Effrem described how state and federal laws are merging universal psychological test results with preschool through K-12 outcomes and routine medical visits. Illinois and Indiana provide the roadmap every state is facing, and she suggested tools to challenge them.
Carol White described the sordid history of minorities used as guinea pigs for psychological labeling and treatment with dangerous prescription drugs. She called for help in stopping a plan of the University of Minnesota for a Mental Health Research Center that will use minority children in the north Minneapolis neighborhood for more mental health research linking genetics with such things as criminal activity.
Twila Brase, President of Citizens' Council on Health Care, rounded out the conference by describing merged health and education data-collection systems. The database now includes genetic testing conducted at birth, stored on a "private" component of birth certificates.
DVDs of the presentations are available to order by phone (952-361-4931) or on-line at the EdWatch.org shopping cart. The two IB powerpoint presentations are on-line at:

Rick Ross & His Maybach Music Group Cover XXL's October Issue
For the October issue XXL switches it up with two split covers built off of the same crew. Riding high off the success of their compilation album, Self Made, Vol. 1, Rick Ross and his Maybach Music Group signees—Wale, Meek Mill and Pill—all grace the cover of XXL's forthcoming issue on two joint covers: a Ross solo and an MMG group cover showing both sides of Ricky Ross, as a solo artist and a boss.
Ross and his new team of young MCs are focused on taking over the rap game in the coming year, and The Bawse—who is hard at work on his fifth solo disc, God Forgives, I Don't, scheduled to drop via Def Jam Recordings this fall—predicts to XXL contributing writer Ben Detrick that he'll finally be crowned king with the new LP.
"I'm enjoying my last few moments at No. 2," Ross says. "It's like I'm watching the No. 1 man on stage, my legs crossed, I'm smoking big, hollering at the bitches in the crowd. And this album gonna do it. I got the formula."
What is The Bawse's full-proof equation exactly? As he describes it, it's nothing more than inspiration from the R&B greats.
"When I make music, I go back to my late nights of me by myself, listening to Curtis Mayfield or R. Kelly's 12 Play," he says. "There's certain depths that music can take you to. There's certain feels that you need to have. When you get to the last song on the album, I want you to have that feeling of being whole. I want to give these muthafuckas classic joints. That means more to me than anything else."
Recruiting some of hip-hop's most promising, up-and-coming talent doesn't hurt Ross's chance at claiming rap's top spot on the food chain either. Asked why he decided to reach out and associate himself with such a broad range of MCs including Meek, Wale, Pill and Stalley, Rozay said it was important to help give other artists a chance he felt wasn't offered to him when he started out.
"To me, it don't matter where you from," he says. "I come from a time and place when Miami wasn't the most poppin'. Everybody wasn't as eager to open they door, give you a hand. For me to be in this position, I want to make sure I do the opposite that a lot of these niggas did."
XXL's new executive editor, Jayson Rodriguez, moderated a roundtable discussion between MMG stars Wale, Meek and Pill, to find out about each rappers role in the crew, what MMG represents as a team and what gives them an advantage over their competitors.
"I think it's a plus that everybody got their own fan base, they got their own thing rocking in their own city, and they got their own representation of what they stand for," Pill says. "So when everyone comes together, that's all the fan bases combined. It's a blessing to be able to rock with a bunch of different guys that are passionate about the craft and that know where they going and actually can foresee the future, when it comes to their music. I think that gives us a stronghold and a bit of longevity. And kind of an advantage also."
In addition to cover stories on Rick Ross and MMG, XXL's October issue includes features with controversial West Coast rap star Game on the heels of his latest release, The R.E.D. Album and Jay-Z protégé J. Cole, as he prepares to drop his long awaited debut LP, Cole World: The Sideline Story.
In a special exclusive XXL also followed DMX, newly released from jail on his first day home and in this studio following seventh-month jail bid in Yuma County, Arizona. Also XXL went behind bars for an in-depth discussion with former Terror Squad femcee Remy Ma, who is currently serving an eight-year sentence for shooting a friend. Remy's husband Papoose also weighed in on the trials and tribulations of holding a woman down while she's locked up and what their relationship entails.
The phenomenon of the 40-year-old rapper having lively careers these days is also explored in a special investigative piece and XXL breaks down Odd Future in a family tree.
Be sure to pick up XXL's October issue hitting newsstands nationwide on September 20. Also check out XXLMag.com for special video of the issue, outtakes, everyday hip-hop news and much more. —XXL Staff

Ramon Torres III was also found guilty of felonious assault, having weapons while under disability and improperly discharging a firearm.
Torres is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday. He could face life in prison.
On Sept. 19, 2011, Torres and Pierre Chatmon, 23, of Cleveland, along with several others, were outside a home near West 95th Street and Denison Avenue threatening a family that they had fought with earlier that day.
The group fired several guns shots into the home. One bullets hit Jaquan Sims in the head as he peered through a peephole in the front door of the home.
Sims was taken by EMS to MetroHealth Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
Chatmon was sentenced on Jan. 7 to 18 years to life in prison.

A two vehicle traffic crash over the weekend killed two people on Interstate 10 near Bonifay in Holmes County.
The Florida Highway Patrol identified the fatalities as 53 year old James Long of Alford and 46 year old Rita Ann Carpenter of Dothan.
The head on crash happened when Long drove his van on the wrong side of the interstate and crashed head on into Carpenter's car.
Troopers say both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene.
