Senior Victor Chavez and juniors Earl Edwards Jr. and Leo Stolz have each been named to the NSCAA All-Far West Region Team, as announced by the NSCAA today. Edwards and Stolz were both selected to the first team while Chavez received second-team accolades.
This is the first time that each player has been named to the All-Far West Region Team in their respective careers. With these three selections, UCLA now has 157 NSCAA All-Far West selections in program history.
Stolz became the sixth UCLA player all-time to be named Pac-12 Player of the Year in 2013 after leading the conference in points (30) and goals (11). The Munich, Germany native also finished tied for the team lead in assists with eight. Nationally, Stolz is 13th in points, 20th in goals scored and 25th in assists. He tied for the conference lead in game-winning goals with four and posted three multi-goal games on the year as well. A semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy, Stolz recorded at least one point in 10 of his final 14 matches and was named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week four times this season.
Edwards served as UCLA's co-captain this year and had a terrific season in goal for the Bruins, starting all 20 matches and logging 73 saves with a 1.13 GAA. A first-team All-Pac-12 selection in 2013, Edwards played every single minute of every match for UCLA, tallying seven shutouts on the season. In particular, he was key down the stretch in leading the Bruins to the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, making a season-high seven saves four times in the final seven regular season games.
Chavez earned All-Pac-12 honors for the fourth straight season, making him the first UCLA player to accomplish the feat since David Estrada did it from 2006-09. The senior forward from Fontana, Calif. finished second to Stolz with 23 points, eight goals and seven assists and finished in the top-10 in the Pac-12 in points (2nd), goals (t-5th) and assists (6th). He scored three game-winning goals in 2013, including the golden goal in overtime at then No. 1 Indiana on Sept. 1, and logged two multi-goal games (at Cal State Northridge and vs. Elon in the NCAA Second Round).

CMA vs. CPA vs. CFA: Which Accounting Credential is Right for You?
Are things like a stable career, higher-than-average salary and healthy financial portfolio important to you? Do you want your friends to see you as someone who's got it all figured out?
If so, the responsibility and professionalism that comes with a career in accounting should resonate with you. Accounting jobs are projected to grow 16 percent through 2020 and the median annual salary of people in the field is $61, 690 – a full $10,000 more than the national average!
The first step is to get involved in an accounting degree program. But not long after that, you'll have to choose the direction your career will take once you get into the field.
To help you we highlighted the three most popular credentials for accounting professionals and broken down everything you need to know in a three-way comparison of CMA versus CPA versus CFA.
Here's what you need to know.
CMA: Certified Management Accountant
What is it? The CMA – no, not the Country Music Awards – is designed to help you further develop your ability to make strategic business decisions based on an organization's financial situation. Becoming a certified management accountant helps you develop a level of expertise in both financial accounting and strategic management.
The Requirements: A bachelor's degree is the only component needed to be eligible to pursue a CMA. Don't even think about trying for this credential without one, as 91 percent of accounting positions require it.
Why? The CMA is "perfect" for both accounting and finance majors, says Kari Grittner, accounting program coordinator at Rasmussen College. After all, she says, 75 percent of accountants work in private industry. Expertise in numbers and strategic planning makes CMA holders a valuable commodity for private businesses.
And if your own bottom line is a concern, CMA holders earn, on average, $34,000 more than their noncertified colleagues. And while all certifications require commitments of both time and finances – the CMA costs roughly $600 – the earning potential once you've passed the examination makes your earning potential well worth the effort.
CPA: Certified Public Accountant
What is it? The CPA credential is perhaps the most widely known credential for accounting professionals. And while it is certainly useful in a corporate setting, a CPA is more valuable in the public sector. The biggest reason for this is because CPAs can be paid by individuals or businesses for their accounting and tax services.
The Requirements: A bachelor's degree combined with a few years of experience is the most common path to earning your CPA credential, but requirements vary by state. In Minnesota, for example, you can sit for the exams only after completing a bachelor's degree. In Florida, one needs just 120 semester hours under his or her belt. CPAs are also required to complete varying levels of continuing professional education in order to keep their state license. Check out your state requirements here.
Why? "The CPA has always been the gold standard," says Grittner. Earning your CPA puts you into an elite group of accounting professionals. With a CPA, employers know that you are a trusted professional in the field of public accounting. In fact, more than 90,000 accounting positions posted over the past 12 months* required candidates to be a CPA. That's almost 25 percent of all accounting positions posted!
CFA: Chartered Financial Analyst
What is it? The CFA is a credential first introduced in 1963. Put simply, a CFA is a designation that certifies the competence and integrity of financial analysts. The CFA Institute grants individuals the credential only after they pass three levels of exams covering subjects including accounting, economics, ethics, money management and security analysis.
The Requirements: Individuals looking to earn a CFA credential need four years of experience working with investments; they need to be members of the CFA Institute; and they must pledge an oath of ethical conduct – all in addition to passing those exams! Completing the entire program takes most candidates between two and five years, according to the CFA Institute.
Why? Earning a CFA is a great way to distinguish your resume from that of other job applicants. In fact, more than 25,000* job postings over the past year listed a CFA as either required or preferred for employment.
How to decide and get started
Keep in mind that the first step toward earning any of these credentials – and someday an incredible career! – is to complete a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance. Deciding between a CMA versus CPA versus CFA before getting a degree is putting the cart before the horse.
But one thing is for sure. If you want to be the cream of the crop, the path to becoming a CMA, CPA or CFA is the way to do so.
All you need to do is commit to making it happen.

Letter from Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell to Dr. Alexander Graham Bell.
1331 Connecticut Avenue,
Washington, D. C.
February 19, 1913.
My dear Alec:
I think that in the first place we want Casey to know that we have never thought even $2500.00 sufficient compensation for him as manager of the estate, particularly as it includes the directorship of the laboratory and that we only offered it because we hardly felt that we could afford more. On the other hand his position is that having had no experience in running an estate, he is unwilling to accept so much until he has tried the experiment and made good. He declares to do so would make him very uncomfortable.
Now I think this would be a pity and might actually hamper him in his freedom of action as well as destroy his pleasure in making the experiment.
Under these circumstances why not compromise. Instead of $2500.00 let him take $2000.00 and be given his house rent free as a starter and we can take up the question of larger compensation by and by when we have learned by experience how we can work things out.
I think this could be fair because at five per cent on the cost of the building, which is the rent you have charged, it would pretty nearly split the difference.

Wherever you shop, ask the right questions: Is it safe for sensitive skin? How much should I apply, and how often? How long before I see results?
Even a top-notch scientist like Jeannette Graf, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, appreciates the insight salespeople at department stores have offered over the years. "They can be quite helpful in navigating the multitude of skin-care products at the counter," she says. Still, be discerning. "Some salespeople stretch the truth," says Elizabeth Tanzi, codirector of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, D.C. (That goes for facialists, too.) So a little skepticism probably won't hurt. And drugstores including Duane Reade, Walgreens, and CVS/Pharmacy now have salespeople trained in skin care and armed with testing devices—such as hydrometers, which measure skin's moisture levels—so "they can give personalized advice based on specific needs," says Boston dermatologist Ranella Hirsch, who consults for Vichy and helped test some of the diagnostic tools for CVS/Pharmacy's Healthy Skincare Centers, where Vichy, Lierac, and La Roche-Posay are sold.
How to Shop for Skin-Care Products
Like traveling to foreign lands, shopping for skin care can be disorienting. The landscape is strange. The people are pushy. And you don't speak the language (hyaluronawha?). Here's how to shop the aisles like a native.
Wherever you shop, ask the right questions: Is it safe for sensitive skin? How much should I apply, and how often? How long before I see results?

Story by Erin Wittkop, Defense Media Activity
The Defense Department's Office of Military Community and Family Policy is working with
the U.S. Department of Agriculture/National Institute of Food and Agriculture to provide military family service professionals, military families and Cooperative Extension service professionals with research and evidence-based educational resources to provide better services for military families.
What does this mean? Basically, the DoD and the USDA are leveraging each other's expertise to supplement their own programs. In May 2010, their relationship began when a memorandum of understanding (or MOU as I'll call it later) was signed between the organizations allocating DoD funds over the next 10 years for USDA support in evaluating and furthering DoD military family support and readiness programs.
On the flip side, the USDA gains valuable insight and information about the needs of military families that participate in their programs. The added benefit is that it also keeps taxpayer dollars in the federal ecosystem, which means that American citizens are getting a greater return on their contribution.
Barbara Thompson, the DoD's Office of Family Policy, Children and Youth director, made time to educate me on the ins and outs of this collaboration and why she's championing it.
"We're able to leverage another federal agency which is very cost-effective. Secondly, we're leveraging their land-grant university system and that's over 100 universities across the country. We leverage the ones [that] have the expertise that we're looking for. It is an opportunity for us to learn about evidence-based subject matter expertise in particular areas."
She says they seek out different programs from the universities based their own program needs. They want to know that they have solid, evidence-based research backing them up before kicking off a new initiative.
Aside from providing the DoD with renown scholarly research, the MOU also creates programs that directly benefit military families. Programs like the Project Youth Extension Service, or Project Y.E.S., offers internships to university students during which they expand Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program offerings to military kids.
Military kids and their development are a strong focus of many of these programs. Ohio State University has stepped in under the MOU to create a Virtual Lab School dedicated to online professional development for individuals working within military child care services. The website is available in the public domain which means that military and non-military child care and education programs can benefit from the courses. As an added benefit, the courses are also free.
Another program is the Military Families Learning Network which offers a network of online communities aimed at providing military family service professionals and Cooperative Extension family specialists with professional development opportunities in child care, family development, network literacy and personal finance.
Thompson also notes that the MOU is helping to create tomorrow's leaders in military family care. "We have with Purdue University an intern program for our child development and youth programs. We get students who are majoring, are graduate students in those fields and we actually place them for up to anywhere from a semester to six months at one of our programs and they get real world experience and we've hired [about] 25% of them. So, you know, we have this pool of people that were highly trained coming into our system."
It's clear that even though the MOU is in its early stages, it's already making a huge impact.
"A lot of these programs in these [past] three years have been developing and they're about ready to be launched, so it's just really exciting. It's gone beyond what we do to help the larger DoD [as service-level commands and programs use these resources to supplement their own enterprises]. I really do think this has become a model for the federal agencies to see how you can leverage another federal agency's resources to meet what you don't have in your capability."
Personally, I can't blame Ms. Thompson for being so excited. As a former 4-Her myself, my own experiences with the USDA's Extension service were predominantly good ones and the progress this team has made in the past three years is impressive to say the least. I can't wait to see what the next seven will bring.

The New Yorks Jets highly regarded special teams coach Mike Westhoff couldn't believe what he was seeing from his unit two weeks ago against the Miami Dolphins.
A punt blocked for a touchdown, a blocked a field goal, an onside kick recovered by Miami, and a slew of good returns.
When asked about the special teams unit having bad games like that, "You can never sugarcoat them," he told the AP, via the Wall Street Journal. "You roll up your sleeves and go back to work and try to solve the problem."
"That's as frustrated as I've ever been in my entire career. A game like that, whoa, that was tough."
After the game, Westhoff did what he does best - get right back to work at the office to watch film on the debacle.
"That stuff is tough to deal with," he said. "But you make a mistake, you realize what it was, face up to it, and make sure you do it right the next time."
The Jets are coming off of the bye week ready to forget all about Miami. They take on the Seattle Seahawks Sunday afternoon.

College Hockey:Elmira Captures First Place in Women's DIII Poll
St. Thomas makes move
MINNEAPOLIS — Elmira captured all twelve first-place votes in the Division III Women's Poll for the first time this season. The Soaring Eagles was idle this week, as was No. 2 Manhattanville.
The highlight of last weekend's action was a pair of games between No. 4 Wis.-Stevens point and No. 8 Gustavus Adolphus. After a 5-0 Pointer win on Friday, the Gusties managed a 2-2 tie Saturday, which left both schools unchanged in their respective poll positions from last week.
Making a move this week is No. 9 St. Thomas, which impressed voters with a 1-0 win over last week's No. 9 team, Wis.-River Falls. The Tommies will face Augsburg on Friday and Saturday.
RIT won three games over the last week to improve to a perfect 5-0-0. However, all three games were against unranked opponents, and so the Tigers stayed at No. 10.
Next weekend features one of the great conference match-ups available this year in Division III, as No. 6 Plattsburgh travels to No. 1 Elmira for what promises to be an exciting two game set. Manhattanville, Wis.-Stevens Point and Gustavus Adolphus will also see action this weekend.
The USCHO.com Poll is compiled by U.S. College Hockey Online, and consists of 12 voters, all coaches of Division III programs.
The following is a self-policing forum for discussing views on this story. Comments that are derogatory, make personal attacks, are abusive, or contain profanity or racism will be removed at our discretion. USCHO.com is not responsible for comments posted by users.

In my text book the proof of well ordering principle goes like this:
Let A be an arbitrarily given nonempty set which is to be well-ordered. Consider the family A* of all well-ordered sets ($A_0$, $\le _0$), where $A_0 \subseteq A$. We partially order A* by writing ($A_0, \subseteq _0) \subseteq ^*(A_1, \subseteq _1)$ if and only if
(i) $A_0 \subseteq A_1$
(ii) x, y $\in A_0$ and x $\le _0y$ imply x $\subseteq _1 y$
(iii) x $\in A_1 - A_0$ implies y $\le _1 x$ for all y $\in A_0$
The proof goes like this but they say nothing about whether A* can be empty or not. Shouldn't they first proof that A* is nonempty(well-defined?)? If it's okay not to show that, why is it so?

Prayer quilts & shawls
Volunteers make prayer quilts and shawls for patients at Banner Heart Hospital
Volunteers at Banner Heart Hospital and the Mesa Senior Center are making prayer quilts and shawls for patients at the facility. Each volunteer says a prayer as they make each quilt and shawl for the unknown recipient, for healing and for other gifts during illness and recovery.
There is a dedicatory prayer as one begins the project, then continuing prayers and positive thoughts, and a prayer of blessing and love as each quilt and shawl is completed. When the quilt and shawl are completed, a card is attached that reads something like this: "This quilt was lovingly made for you by the hands of volunteers from the Banner Heart Hospital and the Mesa Senior Center. We pray for your health and well-being."
The completed items are then brought to the hospital and are distributed by the chaplain. A picture will be taken only if the patient agrees. The chaplain will let the volunteers know what comments the patient made about the quilt or shawl, but volunteers will not know who receives their particular gift.
The Prayer Quilt ministry idea was brought to the attention of Banner Baywood by a former chaplain and Nancy Crenshaw, a volunteer at Banner Heart Hospital. After some research, they found a group called "Prayers and Squares," a prayer quilt ministry that advises and supports chapters all over the United States, as well as providing patterns and guidelines for starting a program.
We do not accept any type of payment for the quilts and shawls because it is a gift of love. If folks would like to donate money for materials or materials for the project, they can make a donation to:

Making a payment
- 1 Overview
- 2 How can I make a payment?
- 3 Important notes regarding your payment
- 4 Minimum payment
- 5 Pre-payments
- 6 Payment extensions
You can make a payment at any time to your DreamHost account. If you make a payment towards an item that has not renewed yet (such as a yearly hosting or domain registration fee), that payment will post as a positive credit on the account until the specific item's renewal date.
How can I make a payment?
Payments must be made through your DreamHost panel which offers a secure way to transmit payment data.
To make a payment:
- Navigate to the (Panel > 'Billing & Account' > 'Make Payment') page.
- Click the 'Make Payment Now' tab.
- Select any one of the accepted payment methods listed on this page:
- PayPal
- Credit/Debit Card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Diners Club)
- Checking Account
- Check or Money Order
- Gift Certificate
- Fill out all required payment fields.
- Click the blue button at the bottom of your specified payment section to submit your payment.
Important notes regarding your payment
- Credit card payments will post almost instantly.
- If you are using PayPal to make a payment, it takes some time for PayPal to approve and post a payment to your DreamHost account.
- Electronic checks, mailed checks, or money order payments can take several weeks to process.
- If you have a balance due immediately, or are nearing account suspension, it is recommended that you use a credit card or PayPal for quicker service.
Once a payment clears, it will be applied to your account and DreamHost will send you a receipt for the payment to your account profile email address. Bank statements will show the charge as coming from 'DreamHost - DH-FEE.com'.
Minimum payment
The DreamHost online payment processor has a minimum amount it will accept for online payments. This minimum amount is currently $5.50.
What if my due balance is less than $5.50?
If your due balance for the month is lower than $5.50, DreamHost simply rolls your due balance over to the next month's invoice. Until your balance is over $5.50 on an invoice, the amount will keep deferring the balance to the next month. Once your overall monthly due balance is $5.50 or higher, you can then pay off the full balance due.
What if I don't want to have a small balance deferred each month?
If you have a balance of less than $5.50 and want to take care of that amount so you don't carry a balance, you can make a payment for more than you owe. For example, if you owe $5.00, you can make a payment of $5.50 (which is the lowest amount that can be accepted). Your $5.00 balance will be paid, and you will have a positive credit of $0.50 remaining, which will be applied to any future service fees.
The panel allows you to make pre-payments on your account, however the prepayment will not apply to the charge or service(s) until it's ready to renew. This means the pre-payment you submit will stay on your account as a positive credit balance until a charge/service is due.
You also aren't able to define to which charge or service the pre-payment will apply: the next charge on your account automatically withdraws from the existing credit balance.
Making a pre-payment
- Navigate to (Panel > "Billing & Account" > "Make Payment").
- On the top of the page, click the Make a Payment Now button.
- A drop-down list of payment methods appears.
- Once you've expanded the Make a Payment Now menu, make a selection from the following prepayment options:
- PayPal
- Credit/Debit card
- Checking account
- Check or money order (via regular mail)
- Gift certificate
- Once you make a prepayment using any of the payment options, your account shows a positive balance at the top of the page with the amount you paid.
Your bank statement will show the DreamHost charge as "DreamHost dh-fee.com".
Payment extensions
When your monthly billing statement comes to a close, DreamHost provides you with an automatic 60-day grace period to pay the balance due in full. If the balance is not paid within 60 days, the account is automatically suspended and services are taken offline. However, DreamHost support is able to offer you a payment extension if you need it.
When does my balance need to be paid?
The DreamHost billing system operates on a monthly invoicing schedule and the end of your billing period is determined by the date when you originally opened the account. Ideally, due balances on invoices should be paid as soon as possible.
However, DreamHost provides a 60-day grace period from the closing date of the invoice for these payments to be made. This grace period is set automatically in the system, and you will continue to receive billing reminder notices until the balance has been paid or the account has been suspended.
You can read more about account suspension at:
The image below is a sample of billing due dates:
- Your original Due Date is the end date on your monthly invoice.
- If your balance is not paid 30 days later, your account is considered Past Due.
- After another 30 days (60 days after your original invoicing date), your account is considered delinquent (if it is unpaid) and will be suspended.
How can I get an extension?
If you need some additional time to make your payment past the 60-day grace period, contact DreamHost support on the (Panel > 'Support' > 'Contact Support') page to request a payment extension.
DreamHost is able to provide an extension of an additional 30 days, on top of the 60-day grace period. If you need more time, please indicate this in your request.

For understandable reasons, the IRS scandal has largely focused on the political question of whether the White House deliberately targeted opponents. To date, there's no evidence that it did. That's good for the president, but it might not be good for the country, because if the administration didn't target opponents, that would mean the IRS has become corrupt all on its own.
In 1939, Bruno Rizzi, a largely forgotten communist intellectual, wrote a hugely controversial book, "The Bureaucratization of the World." Rizzi argued that the Soviet Union wasn't communist. Rather, it represented a new kind of system, what Rizzi called "bureaucratic collectivism." What the Soviets had done was get rid of the capitalist and aristocratic ruling classes and replace them with a new, equally self-
interested ruling class: bureaucrats.
The book wasn't widely read, but it did reach Bolshevik theoretician Leon Trotsky, who attacked it passionately. Trotsky's response, in turn, inspired James Burnham, who used many of Rizzi's ideas in his own 1941 book, "The Managerial Revolution," in which Burnham argued that something similar was happening in the West. A new class of bureaucrats, educators, technicians, regulators, social workers and corporate directors who worked in tandem with government were re-engineering society for their own benefit. "The Managerial Revolution" was a major influence on George Orwell's "1984."
Now, I don't believe we are becoming anything like 1930s Russia, never mind a real-life "1984." But this idea that bureaucrats — very broadly defined — can become their own class bent on protecting their interests at the expense of the public seems not only plausible but obviously true.
The evidence is everywhere. Every day it seems there's another story about teachers unions using their stranglehold on public schools to reward themselves at the expense of children. School choice programs and even public charter schools are under vicious attack, not because they are bad at educating children but because they're good at it. Specifically, they are good at it because they don't have to abide by rules aimed at protecting government workers at the expense of students.
The Veterans Affairs scandal can be boiled down to the fact that VA employees are the agency's most important constituency. The Phoenix VA health-care system created secret waiting lists where patients languished and even died, while the administrator paid out almost $10 million in bonuses to VA employees over the last three years.
Obviously, economic self-interest isn't the only motivation. Bureaucrats no doubt sincerely believe that government is a wonderful thing and that it should be empowered to do ever more wonderful things. No doubt that is why the EPA has taken it upon itself to rewrite American energy policy without so much as a "by your leave" from Congress.
We constantly hear how the evil Koch brothers are motivated by a toxic mix of ideology and economic self-interest. Is it so impossible to imagine that a class of workers might be seduced by the same sorts of impulses? It's true that the already super-rich Kochs would benefit from a freer country. It's also true that the managerial class would benefit from the bureaucratization of America.

Fueling Research to Solve the Problems
Research is essential. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease.
In large measure, basic scientists and population-based researchers fund their own efforts, seeking grant support each year to cover their lab expenses, equipment, and salaries while moving innovative ideas forward. The college and the medical center provide space and keep the lights on, but the science itself is fueled by grants. These grants are highly competitive and won only after intensive peer review.
Scores of Federal agencies offer grants to stimulate research at the frontiers of cancer science, and Federal funding is the engine that drives research by established scientists at Norris Cotton Cancer Center: 130 scientists currently hold more than $65 million in Federal funding. As director Dr. Mark Israel explains, "That's $65M in, and $65M out, each year." Indeed, Dartmouth's Cancer Center is a national leader in the amount of grant funding obtained from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In 2009, the Cancer Center ranked in the top five percent of institutions nationwide in total dollars of research funding from the NCI—78 grants totaling $34.6 million—for a ranking of 31st among 757 institutions in the U.S.
Dr. Israel notes, "Our success in competing for NCI funding demonstrates the nationally recognized excellence of research scientists at Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Our ranking is surprising only in that other top-ranking centers have far more expansive facilities and many more cancer research scientists."
In February 2009, the U.S. Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to stimulate economic growth and create new jobs, in part by providing funding for research. ARRA grants—mostly awarded through NCI—have been given to 37 Dartmouth cancer investigators, bringing more than $17 million to new research directions, technologies, hires, and programs. Grant-funding is focused in cancer biology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology, genetics, and chemoprevention.
Signal successes include $2 million to Risto Kauppinen, MD, PhD, for purchase of a 9.4 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging scanner to investigate the molecular identity of cancer; $3 million to James Sargent, MD, and colleagues to explore visual media influences on smoking behavior among adolescents; and a $3.5 million grant to Lynn Butterly, MD, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to increase colorectal cancer screening, for New Hampshire residents age 50 and older, to 80% over the next five years.
Building an Electronic Network for Sharing Research Resources
Cancer Center scientists Jason Moore, PhD, and Steven Fiering, PhD, are leading the Dartmouth component of a $15 million ARRA grant from the National Center for Research Resources to create a multi-institutional scientific database. Called the eagle-i Consortium, after the eagle's characteristic acute vision, the database project aims to make a wealth of currently "invisible" information available to scientists nationwide. Eagle-i is based at Harvard and initially will bridge nine institutions, aiming to create a searchable database to network far-flung research laboratories. The goal is to increase collaboration and share scientific resources such as laboratory equipment, cells and tissue banks, chemical reagents, and model organisms. Once the data infrastructure is completed, its capabilities will be tested in the area of obesity research. In addition to Dartmouth and Harvard, the eagle-i Consortium includes Jackson State University, Morehouse School of Medicine, Montana State University, Oregon Health and Science University, and the Universities of Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
Evaluating Cancer Detection and Treatment Approaches
The U.S. spends more on health care than any other nation in the world. Not only is the pace of health care expenditure unsustainable, but the quality of U.S. health care lags well behind that of most developed countries. A new tool to encourage clinically effective, efficient health care is called comparative effectiveness research (CER), and a $2 million National Cancer Institute ARRA grant to Anna Tosteson, ScD, a faculty member of both the Cancer Center and The Dartmouth Institute, will establish Dartmouth as a national leader in cancer CER. New imaging technologies for finding cancer and determining treatment are intended to improve the health of the U.S. population. Research is needed to see whether these technologies actually improve clinical care. Dr. Tosteson and colleagues are launching a multi-institutional Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research in Cancer Imaging, collaborating with the American College of Radiology Imaging Network at Brown University and the Tufts Evidence-Based Practice Center. Researchers at these institutions will combine their unique resources to develop new studies of the effectiveness of advanced imaging in cancer, with the goal of identifying and validating best approaches.
The Dartmouth team also will apply CER to study use of positron emission tomography (PET), drawing on the National Oncologic PET Registry and Medicare administrative claims data, and will work to validate lung imaging approaches through an existing NCI-funded National Lung Screening Trial. A second ARRA grant to Dr. Tosteson will fund a new Office of Cancer CER at Norris Cotton Cancer Center to support application of comparative effectiveness research to specific problems in cancer.
By rapidly advancing comparative effectiveness research for advanced imaging technologies in cancer, the Tosteson team will develop the evidence that health care providers need to make better decisions and achieve better results for patients. They will also pay attention to the consequences of incidental diagnostic findings that can result from the use of these technologies.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – The Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid 2014 soccer game (en vivo live score results below) is heading to the Copa Del Rey semifinals. Final score on the Espanyol vs. Real Madrid game this week was 0-2. And the Atletico Madrid vs. Athletic Bilboa game ended in a 2-1 score as well.
Two Copa del Rey soccer matches have been underway today. First Atletico Madrid vs. Athletic Bilboa ended in a 2-1 score today in the second of its two leg round. Meantime the Barcelona vs. Levante's game for January 29, 2014 is still underway. Current score is 5-1.
Barcelona is now expected to advance to the semifinals as well where it will face possibly Real Sociedad. Real has a two goal lead coming into their second leg match. At the conclusion of a Barcelona vs. Real Sociedad game and Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid match, some fans might eventually get the game that they had hoped for in the finals. A possible Real Madrid vs. Barcelona Copa del Rey game could headline the finals, but not until two months from now.
For now the semifinals matches run starting February 5 and then again starting February 12. The finals will be played in turn on April 19, 2014. For live results that day click HERE.

This year Sochi, Russia is hosting the Olympics from February 7th through February 23rd.
Parents can not only watch the winter Olympics on TV with their children, but they can also bring the winter sports to their homes through the following fun activities for kids.
- Go to your local library and check out books on winter sports and the winter Olympics.
For young children (preschool through grade 2), Tacky and the Winter Games by Helen Lester features tacky the penguin; he reminds readers of the underlying joy and enthusiasm that propels athletes to greatness.
Kids can also look up flags specific to the competing countries to learn more about the origins of the Olympic athletes.
Reading and learning about the winter Olympics and the history of the competing countries will bring the winter games alive for kids.
- Practice some simple yoga poses to not only have kids use their imagination to act out some of the winter sports, but also to gain appreciation for the training athletes do in preparation for the Olympics.
Focus on having fun with the movements when trying to recreate with kids some of the winter sports through yoga poses.
For example, kids can start in mountain pose (tadasana). Simply have children stand tall, with their hands by their sides and begin to have them focus on their breath.
Mountain pose is the foundation for all standing yoga poses, and kids can learn a lot from breathing quietly in this posture.
Many athletes use deep breathing to ease pre-race jitters and kids can breathe in and out through their nose as they ground themselves in mountain pose. Have children imagine themselves as an Olympic athlete about to start a race.
Another fun Olympic pose for kids to try is the chair posture (utkatasana). Have kids pretend to be skiing down the mountain as they hold this pose. This yoga posture also strengthens children's thighs, which is great for skiing as well.
Yoga helps to boost focus, concentration, balance, strength, coordination and discipline. All of these qualities are essential for Olympic athletes for peak performance.
For more winter Olympics yoga ideas, go to kids yoga stories.
- Print out coloring book pages with ski and ice-skating themes to spark interest in kids to learn more about these winter Olympic sports.
Cross country skiing and ski jumping are part of the winter Olympics. Click here for a coloring page of these two activities.
Kids know that ice skating is fun. They can not only have fun coloring this page but also go to the library to learn more about the history of this sport, which dates back to Finland.
In sum, learning more about the Olympics can inspire our youth to be the best they can be.
These 3 fun activities give kids a chance to experience the Olympic Games and discover the stamina and courage it takes to become an Olympic athlete.


text: BEFORE THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD OF THE STATE OF OREGON HEARINGS DIVISION Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division ) Docket No: SH91039 Plaintiff ) vs. ) CITATION NO. C192502391 INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO. INC., ) AMENDED Defendant ) OPINION AND ORDER Pursuant to notice, the above matter came before Referee Black for hearing in Eugene, Oregon, on May 24, 1991. Plaintiff was represented by its attorney, Armonica Gilford, an Assistant Attorney General. C. W. (Chuck) Selden. Employee Relations Supervisor, participated on behalf of the employer. The proceedings were reported by Paula Cotrell-Shirey. The record closed at the conclusion of the hearing. ISSUE Did the employer violate OAR 437-30-110(5) on or about November 15, 1990? The employer has appealed that portion of a citation issued December 26, 1990, which imposed a $250 penalty in connection with failure to give warnings at the time of the felling of trees. FINDINGS OF FACT Ron Cameron, an OROSHA Compliance Officer, made a general inspection visit to the employer's timber cutting operations at a site shown in topographical detail on Exhibit 10. Generally, this was fairly steep, up and down terrain marked by draws and ridges. Depending on whether one walked through recently clear-cut areas or went into the standing timber, the land was open and clear or thickly timbered with brush and second-growth Douglas fir together with noncommercial species. The employer had three cutters at work together with a supervisor. The cutters were properly equipped and supported. When Cameron arrived, they were working at locations adequately separated to provide a two tree length zone of safety between themselves. At one point after the Compliance Officer had arrived, two of the cutters were together in the woods briefly, but no cutting was underway at the time. The trees being cut ranged in length up to about 80 feet. Although the cutters were shutting off their chain saws prior to the actual toppling of the trees, they were not calling out as the trees were felled. Generally speaking, brush in the woods was such that a cutter could not see "the tops of the trees "that is, could not see the point where the end of the tree would strike the ground and generally could not tell whether any individuals were in the immediate area or not. The employer's work rules at such sites require that the cutters be staked out to work at distances providing ample separation. Thereafter, they are instructed not to enter each other's work zones without first obtaining permission. "Vicinity" has been given to mean the same, two tree length area required by OAR 437-80-110(1) by OROSHA in applying section (5) of the same rule. On November 15, 1990, the Compliance Officer was not prematurely following requirements of Proposed OAR 437-06-355. The officer had been instructed not to cite timber cutting employers if the faller is actually able to see where a tree is going to hit, and there appear no complicating circumstances such as unusual terrain or other hazards. FINDING OF ULTIMATE FACT The employer's cutters did not fail to give timely warning to fellow employees in the vicinity of trees being felled or fail to ascertain that such warnings were heard by all employees known to be in the vicinity. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND REASONING OAR 437-80-110(5) provides: "Fallers shall give timely warning to buckers and other employees in the vicinity of a tree about to be felled, indicating the direction of fall and taking notice that such employees are not only out of reach of the tree, but also clear of logs, fallen trees, snags or other trees which may be struck by the falling tree. Yallers shall make sure this warning has been heard and heeded by all employees known to be in the vicinity." (Emphasis supplied). OAR 437-80-110(1) requires a minimum safe distance between timber cutters of two times the height of the trees being felled. The rules in OAR 437 division 80 do not indicate whether "vicinity" is the same as the two-lengths requirement. (See Appendix 80A as per OAR 437-80-005). Compliance Officer Cameron's practice has been to eroceed on the assumption that "vicinity" meant the two-length minimum distance requirement. OAR 437-80-110(5) assumes that the cutter knows of the presence of employees within the vicinity, that is, within a two-length distance from his cutting location. The rule imposes a duty to call out to such employees as are within this radius and to anticipate any additional foreseeable consequences of felling the tree with respect to employees known to be within this radius. The rule does not state whether the cutter is excused from calling out if he reasonably believes no one to be present in the danger zone or whether there is any additional duty to take notice that such employees are out of the reach of the tree" when it is impossible to determine who is where because of brush or other visual obstructions. A valid citation must be in conformance with the letter of the safety regulation cited. Upon repeated reading of section (5), I conclude that the citation cannot be upheld. The last sentence of the rule is particularly telling in this regard. Perhaps the rule could be construed to require that the cutter search the area of potential fall in order to absolve himself from a duty to call out. Read as a whole, however, the rule clearly contemplates that the faller will know who is in his immediate vicinity and is only required to call out if anyone is within two tree lengths of his operations. Without further authority to assist in interpreting this rule, I conclude that employees must be "within the vicinity" to invoke the requirement that the cutter call out. In the instant case, although it is conceded that the cutters were not calling out, it is not established that there were any employees within the two-length one at the time felling was actually performed. The informal instructions given Compliance Officers with respect to application of this rule are a good common sense The revision of this rule (see Exhibit 899; Proposed OAR 437-06-355) under proposed Forest Activities regulations presently subject to the public hearing process highlights these ambiguities. It solves the warning problem with a common sense requirement that audible warnings are required unless smaller trees are being cut and the cutter can see exactly what is going on within the impact area. treatment of the problem consistent with the rule as it exists long as one is not involved with the brushy terrain exception. The referee does not rely upon the employer's work rules to reach this result. Those rules, however, would tend to assure that the rule, as written, is workable. The employer's work rules would tend to keep cutters informed of the presence of fellow employees within their vicinity and corresponding danger zone. This ruling requires no change for the present. One trusts that the employer is aware that, had this case been tried under the proposed rule, it would clearly have been found in violation. ORDER THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT citation C192502391 is modified to delete the violation of OAR 437-30-110(5) set out at item number 1-1 together with the penalty therefor. NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES: You are entitled to judicial review of this Order. Proceedings for review are to be instituted by filing a petition in the Court of Appeals, Supreme Court Building, Salem, Oregon 97310, within 60 days following the date this Order is entered and served as shown hereon. The procedure for such judicial review is prescribed by ORS 183.480 and ORS 183.482. Entered at Eugene, Oregon JULY 1 1991 WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD BY Bruce K. Black, REFEREE

When Nikon announced its D600 back in 2012, it was hailed for breaking new ground in pricing for a FF dSLR. Retailing at just $2100 at release, the D600 was, at the time, far and away the cheapest FF dSLR at that time. Oh, yes, and it didn't skimp on photographic capabilities, either. Unfortunately, the joy was short lived as reports of oil and dust spots appearing on the sensor started hitting the Internet.
Now, Nikon has just announced that it will replace defective models.
In a new press release, Nikon states that it will continue to offer free inspection and repair services to D600 owners. However, .should problems persist, Nikon says that it will then replace the camera with another D600 or equivalent model (D610).
This makes official long-standing rumors that Nikon was already taking such actions, replacing faulty D600s with D610s.
Initially, Nikon took a wait and see approach to the problem. Testing the D600, Nikon determined that the oil was coming from the shutter mechanism but, upon further testing, noted that the problem went away after a few thousand shots. In early 2013, Nikon issued a product advisory and advised customers to send their cameras to local Nikon service centers for cleaning. Many people sent in their cameras but not all of the problems were cured.
Result: rather than fix the problem itself, Nikon stopped making the D600 (faulty shutter and all) and decided to launch a new camera, the virtually identical D610, which used a new shutter that doesn't have any of the oil problems. In time, reports started coming in of D600s being sent in for repair work not being fixed, but replaced with D610s, instead. This got a lot of people upset but, at least now, this practice is official.
Needless to say, stay tuned for further updates on this one.

In severe acute pancreatitis, multiple organ failure in the early stage after onset, and sepsis in the late stage, due to infection of pancreatic or peripancreatic devitalized tissue, contribute to its high mortality. In analogy with sepsis, evidence has accumulated of the significance of apoptotic cell death in the systemic manifestations associated with acute pancreatitis. Since we identified apoptosis-inducing activity in pancreatitis-associated ascitic fluid in 1995, a number of investigators, including our group, have reported, through animal experiments, that apoptosis occurred in the parenchymal cells constituting organs, such as alveolar epithelial cells in the lung, renal tubular cells in the kidney, and hepatocytes in the liver, and this apoptosis was involved in organ dysfunction with severe acute pancreatitis. Moreover, through clinical and experimental investigations, apoptosis has been revealed to be involved in the mechanism of infectious complications in acute pancreatitis. Namely, apoptosis in lymphatic tissues and peripherally circulating lymphocytes is involved in the impairment of cellular immunity, and apoptosis in gut epithelial cells is implicated in bacterial translocation. These results suggest that apoptotic cell death may play a considerable role in affecting mortality and morbidity in severe acute pancreatitis. Control of apoptosis could be a potent strategy for improvement of the clinical outcome in severe acute pancreatitis.

In a race application, I would want the cooler separate from the radiator. Some- times the radiator does all it can do to cool the engine without the tranny (cooler) putting more heat into it. Although in the past I've mounted the cooler in the driver's compartment, I don't like to do this. I learned this lesson with a friend's car. The metal cooler lines came up through a hole in the floorboard. As the engine moved around while racing, one line rubbed the edge of the hole enough to wear a hole in the fluid line. At first, we thought it was funny when he rubbed the wall getting the car stopped on the front straight. Ever seen how slick the inside of a Stock car can get when eight hot quarts of transmission fluid are applied in a random manner?
Consider the firewall mount. When mounted flush against a surface, air cannot flow through the cooler, thus there is no cooling. In front of the radiator is not a bad place to put a cooler. If engine cooling is marginal, the cooler should be mounted to one side so it doesn't block airflow to the radiator. Just make sure it has its own access to air.
I have mounted coolers on the floor of the trunk over an opening. With some sheetmetal directing undercar air into the cooler, this works fine. When doing this, there must be an opening in the rear of the trunk lid area to let the air out. The rear vertical area of the trunk lid is best for this air exhaust opening because this is a low pressure area. Rear mounting also moves a slight amount of weight to the rear, but for the most part it is a safe place to put it.
Now, let's examine a tranny popping out of gear. When a manual transmission pops out of gear, it is usually because some bearings inside are worn, allowing the gear teeth to kick away from each other. When an automatic pops out of gear, there is nothing wrong with the tranny if it works when it is put back in gear. When the auto tranny pops out of gear, usually there is a linkage problem.
A Street Stock car seldom has a stiff chassis. The shifter is often firmly attached to the floor. The motor uses stock-type rubber mounts (sometimes with 20 years of abuse) that have considerable flex. Then a solid rod is attached between the shifter and the tranny. When the chassis and engine locations are flexed, the problem becomes apparent.
An OE cable system can work well. Otherwise, I like a rod attached to the tranny shifter, coming through the floor and located by a loop attached to a secure mount. The rear of the tranny would be best. A 90-degree bend on the end of the rod forms the handle. It can be a little awkward to feel the detents in the tranny with this mechanism, but the rod is free to move with chassis/engine flex without pulling the tranny out of gear.
Q: I would like to say how much I appreciate seeing an article about a Honda race project. I'm 20 years old, I pay for a race car out of my pocket, and I've found it affordable to race a Honda. I've raced for two years at Orange Show Speedway and this is the first article I've seen about building a unibody race car. Do you have any setup information for an asphalt-track Honda? I hope you are not catching too much flak about building a Honda.Thomas GibbonsVia e-mail
Sleepy: I haven't had to dodge any flak on the Honda so far. In fact, the response has been quite favorable. Building a unibody car takes a different mindset than building a car with a chassis to attach everything to. I think a properly designed unibody race car would be one in which all the sheetmetal could be removed and the car would still run around the track. I suppose this could never be achieved, but the closer you get, the better. Any- where anything is attached to sheetmetal, it must be done with a plate that spreads the load. Unibody cars are surprisingly flexible. If you haven't noticed, they are all spot-welded together with the spots an inch or two apart.

I don't really have the time or patience to focus on nature's and IV'S, I just play with what I'm handed..
Still hoping for a fire type for kotetsu's sixth myself maybe something we haven't seen recently like Arcanine or Camerupt.

I guess if we see another previous gen Pokemon with Kotetsu then I won't hate this battle too much.
Or maybe his 6th Pokemon is the NEW EEVEE EVOLUTION! :P
Nah, but I'm still sort of hoping that he doesn't show all 6 of his Pokemon.

A woman has a affair with the villain.Some light kissing and mild flirting.An Ancient Egyptian woman wears only body paint and jewelry at the beginning of the movie. Her bottom is shown, but other sensitive regions are covered. She is uncovered as having an affair when her body paint is found smudged, her husband asking angrily "who touched you?", but it's only smudged on her shoulder.
Violence throughout. The various mummies, crazy-men, and zombie-like beings in this movie are shot, stabbed, blown apart, and set on fire, but no blood is present.In the beginning, a man has his tongue cut out and is mummified alive. Another man pours a jar full of scarabs in his sarcophagus and it's mentioned later that they slowly ate him alive.In an uncut version, a man is hung but he doesn't die; he is seen being strangled by the rope in a few instances.A booby trap in a tomb spits out salt acid on diggers who try to open it, they're seen screaming in pain as their skin melts.A mummy is seen after the first 25 minutes of the movie. He is shown dead and still looks dead as he goes around using people's flesh to bring him back to life. Kind of like an old classic horror movie (only much more gruesome).A man is shown with his eyes and his tongue cut out.The same man who had his eyes and tongue cut out later is shown without his flesh. Still, believe it or not, there is no blood. The same thing happens with three other men.A man has a scarab beetle crawl under his flesh. We hear him screaming in pain as a lump moves around under his skin.Imhotep's arm is chopped off, and he puts it back.
Some mild language. Uses of God's name in vain."Sons of a bitches" "Bastards". Other uses.
The explorers drink and some smoke.A man discovers a bottle of whiskey and several characters share it, including a woman who becomes visibly tipsy, swaying and becoming rather loopy.
The explorers are hunted by a 3,000 year old mummy that has come back from the dead. Men are mummified alive at the beginning of the movie.One very frightening scene is when a man is walking through an alley (in the dark), and he hears noises (by Imhotep). After that, we see Imhotep right behind him with a scary, scarred and decayed.Another one is when Benny (all alone) hears strange baby-like voices. Suddenly, Imhotep (skeleton-looking) appears right in front of him.One man has scarabs that crawl into his skin and around his body.The mummy may frighten some.A man has his eyes ripped out. Nothing bloody is seen, but his empty, gruesome eye-sockets are shown. Later, he is taken into a room and the mummy mummifies him. His screams and yells in pain can be heard. Nothing bloody or graphic is shown.The mummy dehydrates victims in order to get their flesh and blood. Most of the victims are shown with no more meat or blood. Their skin is a pale green and they look disturbing.This movie has quite a few jump scenes.
