This page is News 12's memorial to beloved Anchor Tom Campbell, who died on Wednesday, May 2.
Tom had been battling cancer for more than a year and retired from News 12 in December.
He had a 44-year career in journalism and started at News 12 in December 1995.
Prior to joining News 12, Tom had experience working as an anchor/reporter in several cities, including WTXL in Tallahassee, Fla., WCMH in Columbus, Ohio; KBMT in Beaumont, Texas; KSBY in San Luis Obispo, Calif.; KTRK in Houston, Texas; and WTVN in Columbus, Ohio.
Tom's first big story was the collapse of the Silver Bridge over the Ohio River in 1967 that killed 46 people. In 1968, Tom covered his first of many presidential campaigns, interviewing Richard Nixon and Robert Kennedy. Kennedy's interview would be one of his last before his assassination. The following year Tom reported reaction to Astronaut Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon from the astronaut's hometown.
In his years of reporting, Tom traveled all over the United States and to foreign countries. In the 80s, Tom reported on the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and filed reports from Ellis Island. Reporting has also taken Tom to China for three weeks and to Haiti twice. When an Amtrak passenger train derailed in Mobile, Ala., killing 47 people, Tom filed live reports from the scene.
Tom was a native of Delaware, Ohio, and attended Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio State Universities.
In lieu of flowers, Tom requested donations be made to Golden Harvest Food Bank.
Don Mathews:
Tom Campbell's legacy is strong. The knowledge he shared with his co-workers here at News 12 made many good reporters better reporters. He was the consummate professional and that professionalism positively affected all who worked with him. Tom was my friend and I will miss him.
Brandon Mullis:
We're here for just a little while
And then, it seems, we're not
Only that's not really true,
This lie we're often taught
For if one crawls down deep within
And gives an honest check
He'll find the mark of not just one
But countless architects
The folks who planned and broke the ground
Are written on the stones
But others less conspicuous
Are etched within the bones
They prop us up like beams of steel
Hidden in the walls
The sounds of things they've long since said
Still echo in our halls
Sure, they walked respectfully
And thought they'd left no trace
But the vividness of their influence
Is what colors the place
We're a little tougher for it here
A tad bit wiser there
Softer where it counts the most
But harder still to tear
And though the paint may sometimes peel
And scuffs do mar the floor
We've only to remember you
To set things right once more
Then when the years march forward
And the architects are gone
All the things that they helped build
Will still stand proud and strong
Kevin Faigle:
I remember Tom always kept you on your toes. A few years back at the Masters Tom asked me a question and I didn't know the answer. Being a proud Ohio State Buckeye I should have know the answer was Jack Nicklaus...another Buckeye. Tom was a huge sports fans, especially his Cleveland teams. He left his mark on countless number of people and he will certainly be missed. Gone, but never forgotten.
Johanne Davis:
It is with a heavy heart that I sit to write this reflection of Tom Campbell. I became his co-anchor at WRDW-TV in 2000 and we stayed partnered on-air until my departure in 2004. Those who remember me will know me by my maiden name, Johanne Lochard.
There is a Buddhist proverb that encapsulates my relationship with Tom. It says "when a student is ready, the teacher will appear." For me, Tom was the teacher I need at that point in my professional career. While I had studied journalism in school and I had practiced my craft in other media markets -- I still had a lot to learn. The only thing is I didn't know what I didn't know. Tom helped to educate me in the most gentle and constructive way. For example I remember we were on the set doing News 12 at Midday once, when Tom turned to me and said "you read that last story as if you don't know what it means." I reluctantly admitted that I didn't entirely comprehend the script our producer had written. It was not that the producer was wrong; it was that I did not have an understanding of the subject matter.
Now, in that moment Tom had a choice. He could have become angry at being paired with an anchor who was inexperienced -- and worse yet -- ill-informed. By that point in his career, he been reporting and anchoring well over 20 years. He'd interviewed everyone from kings to con men. But instead he chose to use the :30 seconds remaining in the commercial break to explain the issue in a way that made it crystal clear. He didn't make me feel dumb. There was no condescension in his voice and certainly no pity for all that I didn't know. In that moment, I felt the loving patience of someone who wanted to bring me over to the place where he was. His words were a bridge to understanding. I felt that I was being invited in to share in his wealth of knowledge and overall worldliness.
That is how Tom is (was); always willing to share; willing to teach and mold all those who came across his pass. But he was only available if the student was ready. I am thankful that when I met Tom, I was ready. However, now I am not ready to say goodbye to my colleague, my teacher and my friend.
Carter Coyle:
Today I was thinking about Tom and decided I better make a folder in my email to compile all of the emails he's sent us over the past year. You see, even when he got sick, Tom was constantly sending emails to our newsroom. Critiquing the shows, offering advice, pointing out pet peeves, and basically cracking us all up. I wanted to have a little collection of Tom's emails.
It's been a little bit of an excuse for some of us -- an excuse that Tom was doing all right. That Tom was just fine if he was still emailing the newsroom, still offering his old-school news advice with a no-nonsense attitude. He was still a part of us, even if only virtually. He sent one almost every day, usually several every day.
Lately the emails slowed down. One week I was taking Tom downtown to a radiation appointment, and he explained his various medications and treatments were making it hard to type. His hands were severely tingling, and it made typos more frequent. So, naturally, he was sending fewer emails. (Obviously, if they had typos, they were unacceptable to Tom!)
In the past two or three weeks, the emails stopped completely. It was definitely a sign that Tom was not doing well. No more emails means no more denying how sick he is.
To me, those emails represent Tom. The man who's always offering no-nonsense advice to us in the newsroom. The man who always reads through scripts slowly and meaningfully, pausing to point out errors or suggestions. Tom could quite literally pull a name out of a hat and if it was in any way, shape or form related to any script he'd ever read in his time at WRDW -- I swear that man could tell you everything about it. He has a memory like I've never seen. I can't explain how valuable a memory like that is in an industry like news. It shows he didn't just read our local news.. he actually absorbed it.
In the news business, reporters are constantly in and out. Moving on from two-year contracts and moving up to bigger markets. It blows my mind to think about the number of reporters Tom has worked with over the years. He has made an impact on each of them, that much I do know. Can you imagine knowing that people you'd trained, molded, scolded, and encouraged eventually became some of this country's most recognized and respected journalists? In cities big and small, reporters and anchors who started at WRDW under the guidance of Tom Campbell are now molding and scolding other young reporters. He truly made an impact on this world and in our industry, and I hope he knows that.
I will always remember Tom teaching us to say victims "died," not "passed away." They are "buried," not "laid to rest." He said not to sugarcoat things. He even told Richard recently that when his time comes, we'd better just cut to the chase and not say he "passed away" or was "laid to rest." We are supposed to just say, "Tom died."
Well, I can hardly type those words without tears, let alone say them out loud. When that time comes, it will really hurt. But what I want to make sure we remember is -- when that time comes, "Tom died" is not really what we'll be saying or thinking anyway. "Tom helped." "Tom taught." "Tom fought." "Tom joked." Those are the phrases we'll be using. Not just "Tom died." But most importantly, "Tom lived." And that's a phrase I can definitely promise to use.
Gary Williamson:
For many years I've known Tom Campbell. I, like many viewers in the CSRA, saw Tom in the news but never had the chance to meet him. That changed about five years ago when I came to News 12 as an Engineer. I was fortunate enough to get to know Tom on a personal level and found out that we had many of the same likes and interests. On occasion we had an opportunity to chat and talk about news issues as well as life issues.
A little over a year ago, Tom started having back pain and thought that maybe he had pulled something or injured himself. The pain would not go away so several days later he went to the doctor who ordered several tests to be run to determine the cause of the pain. The results showed that the pain was being caused by something more devastating than a pulled muscle and Tom was diagnosed with cancer. He started treatments and began the tough battle with the disease that eventually he would lose. I had gone through some health issues a number of years back so we had another common ground to discuss with his struggle and the battle he was in. Through this I got to know Tom even more and our friendship deepened. Our talks seemed to have more depth and weren't always on superficial subjects anymore. Among our subjects we talked of retirement, money issues, pain, clothing (a popular topic for news people), travel, history (one of Tom's favorite subjects) as well as the news of the day. He often mentioned how much he missed being part of the station and had a goal of coming back to see everyone on a more regular basis.
In the television world, Engineer sometimes can be a fancy word for Handyman. Tom would tell you in an instant that he wasn't mechanically inclined but he would always try his best to fix an issue before asking you for help. When he did ask for your help, you knew it was something beyond his ability and that he truly would appreciate your help. I've was blessed to have been called his handyman, computer guy, carpenter, plumber, gardener, painter, auto mechanic, HVAC man, but above all I was blessed to have been called his friend.
You positively impacted many lives here at News 12 and beyond and you will be missed my friend.
Gary L. Williamson
John Gray:
Tom Campbell is the wisest and wittiest man I've ever known. No one is filled with more information than he is. You need to fact check a particular story? Check with Tom. Don't know when anything similar to this car wreck happened? Ask Tom? Can't name all 66 teams in the NCAA basketball tournament? Tom can. All this knowledge has no doubt helped him with his quips in any conversation. You could be having the most serious of conversations, hilarious of jokes, or mundanest of talks, but Tom would always leave that conversation as the key piece. And I've tried my hardest, but no one can pick on his fellow co-workers better than Tom Campbell. Our Midday producer still begs to be made fun of the way Tom used to belittle him (all in good fun of course). Any success News 12 has or future successes its employees may earn will always be because of Tom Campbell's greatness.
Neal Folger:
I will never forget covering breaking news in Edgefield, S.C., one afternoon -- and a seasoned, well-spoken, 100 percent respected journalist told me over the phone, "Neal, we're counting on you. You're our eyes and ears out there." Never had I felt such pride to be a part of a news team. That journalist was Tom Campbell. So much can be said of a man who spent more than four decades in TV news, and covered some of the most intense stories of his generation ... that all I can say is -- thank you, Tom. For teaching me how to be a better professional, a better team member ... a better person. Our hearts at News 12 are heavy, knowing that email ending with "Tc" isn't coming again. But our spirits are with you, as you are no longer in pain. Rest In Peace with the Lord, Tom -- love you man.
Lynnsey Gardner:
Today we lost a man who made a difference, my co-worker and friend Tom Campbell Wrdw. A man who devoted his entire life to educating others, the public and his colleagues spread across the country, about anything and everything. From interv...iews with presidents, athletes, and the NASA shuttle program in its heyday, to the Great Wall of China and yes, even pandas, and most certainly the Ohio State Buckeyes. Tom made it his life's work to see the world, sharpened #2 pencil in hand, and not only tell us about it, but to teach us. We are forever better for having known you, Tom. May you, finally, rest in peace. I sure hope our God has a nice Outback steak and a vanilla milkshake waiting for you!
Katie Beasley:
The television world lost a good one today. Tom Campbell will be missed by so many. He was a dear friend and amazing mentor. There's a void without him that will never be filled...but there will forever be a voice in the back of my head pushing me to be better. Thank you for that, Tom.
Shannon Powell:
We all lost a good friend, incredible mentor, and intelligent, handsome, wonderful person. Tom Campbell fought cancer like nobody's business; he faced it head on, and never gave up. He remained gracious and inspired many through his fight. I know he would be mad at me for saying "lost." You're not lost, we are. I accompanied Tom to a few treatments. We talked about the future, his dreams and hopes for after he got well. We laughed about an array of subjects from politics to sports and talked about the places we wanted to visit "one day." We ate Chick-Fil-A, lots of Chick-Fil-A. During one of those treatments -- I confessed that almost a dozen years earlier I had a "crush" on Tom when I first came to Augusta (before I was married) -- he laughed, smiled, shook his head, and said "silly girl ..." I admired and respected Tom; he inspired me to always look forward. Tom, you are free now -- I hope you are traveling to all those places, my friend. Until we meet again ...
Kim Beavers:
Wow, reading all the things everyone has written makes it difficult to come up with something different to say ... But the theme of mentor is woven through the comments and I must say Tom was also a mentor to me ... although not a journalist he welcomed me into the News 12 family (and they are a wonderful group of people). I had no idea what I was doing when starting Eating Well with Kim, but Tom really did have a calming presence and a desire to see you or help you succeed. I would ramble on and on about this or that and he would just look at me and say a short sentence and poof I would know what to do or not do as the case may be ... he was a great sport in the EWWK kitchen even though half the things I made he did not like ... and so I hope they don't put tomatoes in salads in Heaven and have lots of carrots and lemon pudding. I will miss my life lesson chats with Tom. It was a pleasure knowing you Tom and being part of your life.
Sarah Lusk:
It's funny that I spend my day writing for a living, but when it came time today to write about a man I've been mentored by for more than a year ... words seemed difficult to come by. I know I won't be the only one to say this, but Tom garnered so much respect in that newsroom. He hasn't anchored a show in more than a year, but his voice is in my head every day as I type. Podium vs. lectern, constant anecdotes and the only person I know in the newsroom to still use a pencil ... so much made him unique. Tom taught me not to waste words and his last piece of writing advice was one that was Tom to a tee. Tom said we weren't supposed to say he "passed away" or was "laid to rest." We are supposed to just say, "Tom died." And that's the way it was, that's the way he was and we loved him for it.
Meredith Anderson:
In the high-tech career of television journalism, Tom is the only person I know who used a pencil. Never a pen. Always a pencil. Multiple times a day, Tom would get up from his desk to sharpen it. I asked him once ... why a pencil? He said the answer is simple: You can erase things. That speaks to me a lot about Tom's career as a journalist. Not that he wanted to get rid of things ... but instead that he was editing everything to the last minute. Tom was a perfectionist and if he could make something better, he would. The newsroom is a busy place, and we write a lot, so I can't imagine getting up every so often to sharpen a pencil. Now that I think about it, I guess I'm taking the easy way out using an ink pen. But Tom always took the time to do things his way. And using a pencil ... well, that just fits him.
But Tom's life and impact on us and this community, however, was not written in pencil. His impact on my life and career, as well as countless other lives and careers, is written in bold ink. It cannot be erased, and neither can his memory.
Tom's pencil sharpener is still in the newsroom. I used it today for the first time. I'm also using a pencil today. I can't remember the last time I did that, but I'm doing it to remember him.

What to Know About Surgery for Ewing Sarcoma
Different types of surgery are used to treat Ewing sarcoma. The type of surgery you get depends on where your tumor is located. It also depends on how the surgery will affect the part of your body that is being operated on.
Many tumors that involve soft tissue or certain bones can be removed without harming your movement or function. However, tumors in the main bones in the arms or legs usually can't be removed without affecting how the arm or leg works.
Doctors used to amputate limbs when they couldn't remove just the tumor. Today doctors can often use limb-sparing surgery instead of amputation. During this procedure the surgeon replaces a part of your bone. The bone may be replaced with grafts from other bones or with metal or plastic bones and joints, which are called prostheses. Sometimes children with a prosthesis need more than one surgery as they age because their bones are still growing.
Limb-sparing surgery is not always an option. The bone may be hard to replace or surgery may damage the limb. If you can't have limb-sparing surgery, your doctor may recommend radiation or amputation as a better option.
Potential side effects of surgery for Ewing sarcoma
Your surgeon will explain the possible side effects before you have surgery. After surgery, your health care team will help you manage your side effects.
Here are some common side effects that people with Ewing sarcoma have when they go through surgery:
Poor wound healing
Pain at the tumor site
If you had radiation or chemotherapy before surgery, you may take longer to heal. You may also be at greater risk for infection.
In some cases, grafts or prostheses may become loose or break and require surgery to replace them.
Both limb-sparing surgery and amputation can lead to changes in how a person is able to use a limb, which will require physical rehabilitation.

In just four years, America's top conservationists have enrolled 50 million acres in USDA's Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), a program that helps farmers, ranchers and forest landowners take conservation to the next level. CSP is aimed at producers who are already established conservation stewards, helping them to deliver multiple conservation benefits on working lands, including improved water and soil quality and enhanced wildlife habitat.
The land enrolled in CSP totals more than 78,000 square miles, an area larger than Pennsylvania and South Carolina combined, making the program one of the largest voluntary conservation programs for private lands offered by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. Nearly 12.2 million acres, or 18,750 square miles, were added to the program's rolls this year.

But not quite enough to make into puree,
Mags says, "Hey, how 'bout stuffing them instead?
Fill 'em up with quinoa and top 'em off with bread."
(crumbs, that is....white gold, Panko tea)
Do you see now why my
Anyway, I had some leftover Roma tomatoes but not enough to cook up into a sauce, so I decided to stuff them. Oh my, they turned out to be a surprising success to me. (otherwise you wouldn't even be hearing about them!)
Quinoa And Feta Stuffed Roma Tomatoes
1/2 cup quinoa, cooked in 1 cup of chicken broth per package instructions
4 large Roma tomatoes
1 TBSP fresh snipped chives
1 TBSP fresh basil, chopped
2 ounces feta cheese
1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1-2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 435 degrees. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
Cut tomatoes in half, lengthwise and hollow out seeds and any membranes. Place tomatoes cut side up on prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl mix together the chives, basil, and feta cheese. Stir in the cooked quinoa and season all with pepper.
In another small bowl combine Panko and Parmesan cheese.
Stuff tomatoes with quinoa mixture. Top with the bread crumbs. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the tops.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Preservation Action Council is hosting its annual Fruit Cocktail Movie Night on Nov. 8 at San Jose Woman's Club, 75 S. 11th St.
It is the yearly meeting of what it likes to call the "regionally famous Fruit Cocktail Club," a group that celebrates the agricultural roots of the valley as well as that canned concoction created in the Bay Area.
The evening is free and gets under way at 6:15 p.m.
Attendees are expected to dress in costume from 1900 to 1950s and to bring a dish to share using recipes from the 1950s and utilizing canned fruit cocktail or dried fruit.
If you're short on ideas, visit preservation.org/recipes.html. Among the treasured recipes there are such concoctions as Fruit Cocktail SPAM Buffet Party Loaf, prune cake and tomato aspic salad.
If you want to impress others, do a little research on canned fruit cocktail and familiarize yourself with the USDA requirements on which fruits must be included and their percentages.
Or mention how pleased you are that the painted fruit cocktail can on the old Libby's Cannery water tower in Sunnyvale is now a historical landmark.
As if the costumes and delicacies aren't enough, the evening includes vintage film footage of Silicon Valley when it was known worldwide as the Valley of Heart's Delight, before agriculture gave way to industrial high tech.
It's a light-hearted gathering with the serious intent of toasting the valley's history.
For more information, visit preservation.org or call 408.998.8105.

When the Summit Daily first caught up with Ridge Strickler at the start of the season (back in March), the prospect of qualifying for the Colorado State 4A Track and Field Meet wasn't quite yet on his radar.
Despite battling illness at the start of the season, Strickler has surpassed all expectations this spring, and the SHS senior heads down to JeffCo Stadium in Lakewood to compete in the 400 meter sprint at the state track meet today.
"I thought qualifying for states would be insane - super hard to get into," Strickler said. "I'm happy to get into it, but I'm hoping to compete, as well. I'm not finished just because I got in."
Strickler, who repeatedly broke several school records this season, said he has a few butterflies, but that's how he knows he's ready.
"It'll be completely new for me. I never ran with any of these kids, and they never ran with me," Strickler said. "I'm just trying to go over in my head how a 400 should look and feel."
Strickler is hoping to advance into the finals, which will be on Saturday and is comprised by the top three finishers from two nine-person heats, plus the next three fastest times. Strickler also suspects he will be in better shape than most races, because he won't be worn out by running several other events. His focus is on the 400 - and the 400 alone.
"At leagues, I had to run the 100 and then try to figure out how to get my body back ready for the 400. It'll be a little different for me - a little bigger warm-up - but I think it'll definitely be beneficial," Strickler said.
For SHS sprint coach Fred Koetteritz, it has been a pleasure working with Strickler this season.
"He's been a real leader amongst all the sprinters. It's a real solid group of kids, who have supported him, as well," Koetteritz said.
None of the coaches can recollect the last time Summit sent a sprinter to states. In fact, they're skeptical whether or not it's ever happened before - although the school did send a high jumper and a relay team in recent memory.
"(Strickler) comes with a lot of natural talent, but his work ethic really pushed it to the next level," Koetteritz said. "He's definitely peaking now. He kind of tapered his workouts and his strength and fitness peaked a couple weeks ago. So we're at a maintenance level right now. He's had to run a lot of races for us, so this is a great opportunity for him to concentrate on one event."
Strickler has his sites set on attending Boise State next year. He's planning to contact the track coach and expects to pursue a spot on the team as a walk-on.

EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. — A fire that broke out in a popular hiking and backpacking destination near Lake Tahoe has been contained.
On Sunday at about 10:15 a.m., a fire sparked in Desolation Wilderness, just southwest of Lake Tahoe, said Ann Loeffler, assistant manager at the Camino Interagency Dispatch Center.
The fire, which was about a half-mile from Duck Lake, burned 2.8 acres in the wilderness before crews officially contained the fire at 7:50 a.m. Monday, Loeffler said.
U.S. Forest Service crews executed a couple of water drops from a helicopter while two 20-person crews were hiking to the fire from the Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park.
Crews will continue to monitor the fire overnight into Tuesday.
"They won't leave until it is good and cold," Loeffler said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Desolation Wilderness is a 70,000-acre federally protected wilderness area located along the crest of the Sierra Nevada.
The wilderness features extensive areas of bare granite and a landscape dotted with small alpine lakes, making it a popular backpacking destination.

I Wanna Introduce You To A Very Special Lady
I want you to meet Tina.
For the last few years I have been looking for talented writers and directors who I could help reach their dreams. Those who have the gift but haven't had the opportunity. Those who are gifted at storytelling. Well, in my search of many I have found a few that I'm working on helping, but there was one that is so special and so unique that she is ready now. Her name is Tina Gordon Chism. She is a writer and a first-time director. She has a new movie coming out on May 10th that I'm presenting called PEEPLES. This movie is hysterical. She did such a great job. I'm so proud of her.
I must tell you, it makes me feel great to be able to help usher her to her dreams. I love seeing the underdog get their shot. If y'all didn't put me in this position I couldn't help her. So thank you. I feel that there is much more room in this business and this is my first attempt at opening this door for another writer-director. I'm excited about the possibility and I'm excited about her… a young African-American woman getting her first shot. This is really cool.
I want you to go out and support her movie, PEEPLES. It is so funny. Craig Robinson and Kerry Washington lead an all-star cast in this comedy and they will truly have you laughing out loud. I'm very proud of this movie and I'm very proud of Tina. I'm telling you, you won't be disappointed. The movie is great and Tina is very special. Let's show her some love, OK?
I'll be talking to you about it as we get a little closer.
PEEPLES in theaters May 10th. GO TINA!!!!

Kids Can Make a Beautiful Marriage Ugly
April 14, 2009 -- The birth of children has an immediate negative impact on even blissfully happy couples, raising stress and reducing satisfaction levels of husbands and wives, new research says.
Reasons for the negative toll kids take on marriage vary between men and women, but researchers say satisfaction levels start dropping as soon as children are born.
The findings of the study, by Brian Doss, PhD, of Texas A&M University, and University of Denver psychologists Galena Rhoades, PhD, Scott Stanley, PhD, and Howard Markman, PhD, are published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
They studied 218 young couples (about 26 years old), 132 of which had their first child in the first eight years of marriage and 86 who had no children. Marital satisfaction declined in both groups, but more suddenly among those who had children.
There was a significant decrease in marital satisfaction for both men and women after the birth of a child. Sudden increases in problem intensity and poor conflict management, and decreases in relationship confidence, were seen in mothers after birth; a sudden decrease in relationship dedication was seen in fathers.
In the couples without children, declines in marital satisfaction occurred gradually over time. Men had decreased relationship dedication, as well, over time.
Mothers with daughters had greater decreases in marital satisfaction compared to mothers who had boys. The authors write that their findings are "consistent with previous studies that have shown that male children are associated with lower rates of divorce and higher marital satisfaction, possibly because fathers of girls are less active in childcare than fathers of boys."
"Part of that might be, it's a little easier for dads to connect to boys," Rhoades tells WebMD.
Rhoades, the senior researcher, says the psychologists didn't specifically ask if the impact of babies on sexual relations was a reason for less overall satisfaction. But she adds that a new baby's impact on a couple's love life is undoubtedly reflected in happiness measures.
"In about one third of the relationship domains that we looked at, women are reporting significantly greater relationship problems caused by the birth," Doss tells WebMD. "This may be because, typically, women take up the lion's share of the child care and, if they were working before the birth, have many more employment-related adjustments to work through.

My first trip back to the Mothership
By barton808 on Apr 02, 2007
As a recent member of the Sun diaspora I made my first trip back to the Bay Area last week. I took the "nerd bird" from Austin and arrived bright and early Monday morning. I came out to give a couple of presentations and sync up with Ian Murdock. The trip went well and I packed a bunch into my three days there. Here are some highlights:
OS Ambassadors
Monday afternoon Simon
and I presented to the OS Ambassadors, Sun's top OS SE's from around
the world. The ambassadors had gathered for their biannual week-long
conference where they sync up with all thats going on around the
company. Simon took them through his FOSS pitch and I detailed
our GNU/Linux business. We got quite a bit of interest in both
Turns out that we were the warm-up act for Jonathan Schwartz who spent about 5 minutes on prepared remarks and then fielded questions from the audience. He was his usual eloquent and laid back self. He in turn was the warm up act for the Bryan and Mike show. To call these guys, particularly Bryan, high-energy would be a severe understatement. They regaled the crowd with tales of the extremely cool stuff they've been working on for the past year and were highly entertaining.
Presenting to Senior Software Execs: Of Sticky Notes and Free Software
Wednesday afternoon the FOSS team got to brief our top Software Execs on the status of what we've been working on. David Marr, our team's legal dude and one of Sun's representatives on committee B, and I presented on our relationship with the Free Software Foundation as well as GPL version 3. As luck would have it, the morning of the preso the latest draft of GPLv3 was released to the public so David got to scramble and revise his preso for the afternoon.
David drew on a host of high tech props including dollar
bills, Post-it notes
and notebook paper to get across the finer points of patent
licensing. (Needless to say, going forward we wont be accepting any
Post it notes from 3M that are not GPLv3)
David Marr, with the help of volunteer Jean
Elliott, explaining the nuances of patent licensing (Note: Jean did
not get to keep the dollar).
My Dinners with Ian
Both nights I was there I got to dine with Ian (the first also included a whole gaggle of Sun luminaries such as Tim Bray, Josh Berkus, Simon, Bryan, Mike etc as sort of an unofficial welcome to Sun for Ian). I've been very impressed with how rational Ian comes across and his clarity around where he wants to go. Im glad he's on our team.
And speaking of GPLv3
When I ran into our fearless leader on campus I was good naturedly harangued regarding the GPLv3 shirt that I had promised him -- I told him the shirt was in the mail.
To be clear: In order for Sun to make a final decision on GPLv3 two things need to first happen 1) the final draft needs to be published and evaluated and 2) the shirt needs to be wicked cool.

Cochran pours in 30 as Wofford routs Chattanooga
Published: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 11:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 11:18 p.m.
Wofford's return home was a sight for sore eyes as the confines of the Benjamin Johnson Arena have rarely been friendlier.
Photo Galleries
The Terriers emphatically bounced back from their worst offensive performance this season to blow out Chattanooga 78-58 on Saturday. It marked the team's highest point total and greatest margin of victory since whipping Jacksonville 94-52 in mid-December. Saturday's output was Wofford's third highest this year.
It was a third consecutive home victory after dropping two straight on the road, including Thursday's 40-33 debacle at Samford when the Terriers shot just 27 percent, including 2 of 15 from 3-point range. Against the Mocs, Wofford shot 52 percent overall and 50 percent in making 11 of 22 from 3-point range.
"The ball went in the basket," Wofford coach Mike Young said of the offensive difference. "We had the same shots at Samford and lo and behold we were a trainwreck. You hold a team to 32 percent from the field and you lose a game, that's unfathomable to me, but it happened. Life is how you react and how you respond to a little adversity and they responded tonight.
"The ball goes in the hole a couple of times and then where the rim may have looked the size of an acorn at Samford it gets bigger the more it goes in. We kind of found our footing and to go in at the half up by 18 I was the most surprised person in the building."
Oddly enough the Terriers did it all mostly without the services of leading scorer Spencer Collins, who rolled his ankle just seven minutes into the game. Second-leading scorer Karl Cochran more than made up the difference by pouring in a career-high 30 on 11 of 23 shooting overall and 6 of 12 from beyond the arc. It was his most shot attempts in 11 games. He became Wofford's first to score at least 30 in over two years.
Sophomore forward Jarrell Byrd filled in more than admirably for Collins scoring 13 points (two shy of his career best) and grabbing a career-high seven rebounds in a career-high tying 26 minutes.
"Early in the game we lost Spencer who is a fantastic scorer and I did kind of feel I had to pick the slack up," Cochran said. "Our bigs were screening so most of the shots I had were wide open. I did feel I had to shoot a little more.
"It's a relief. After Thursday night to shoot a percentage that low we just came in (Friday's practice) and put up a lot shots. Before the game I had the guards come out a little earlier to go over what we do to help shake the dust off of the last loss."
Cochran scored 15 consecutive Wofford points, including three straight 3-pointers, before Byrd sank a 3 for a 35-21 lead with 4:15 left in the first half in surpassing their entire total in the Samford loss. Taylor Wagener knocked down 3 just prior to the halftime buzzer for a 45-27 advantage. The Mocs briefly got to within nine with 14:45 left in the game before Wofford pulled away.
Cochran had 20 by the intermission and the Terriers shot 55.2 percent before the break.
"It was really important to get off to a good start because it gave us a boost of confidence especially coming off a game where he had such a terrible shooting performance," Byrd said. "I think it might have been just coming back home to the gym we shoot in every day."
Despite Cochran's huge offensive display, Young felt Byrd was arguably the key to the win.
"He was maybe the player of the game after we lost a great player and guy we really need to score in Spencer Collins seven minutes in. Jarrell was terrific in his defensive responsibilities and finished some things around the basket and rebounded some. He was a big, big key to our game."

It will help me finalize the GUI for the plugin selection (with all the supported tags you've got in there, the dialog must be huge). Beside some unfinished things it's looking good.
Some comments while reading the code:
- For TMDB I use the language pms uses to get results (PMS.getConfiguration().getLanguage()). Might probably be better to set the preferred language in the global configuration of the plugin to make it configurable per plugin rather than globally. Not a must, but a nice to have.
- searchForFile should return null. As isSearchForFilePossible returns false, it won't be called anyway though.
[edit] To include required dependencies in the plugin jar which aren't included in pms, you can have a look at this example where the imdb import plugin includes the json library.

People skip him because:
A) He's hard if you don't know what you are doing, and don't communicate enough.
2) Our changes to our token rewards moved the tokens out of his unlocked chest, so people don't feel they have to fight him to maximize gains
III) Our dropped loot is abysmal, so you're not finding anything of value.
A) He's supposed to be hard, it's explorable mode. We should aspire all our bosse across all difficulties to be of similar difficulty.
2 and III) We are currently re-working and changing our loot for dungeons. I had previously hoped that it would be in for the next patch, but it requires a lot of tuning and testing, so it might take another patch.

Same thing that Rob said about dungeon loot is also true in open world. I recently started looking at this and its literally such a bad chance of getting good loot from those big world bosses. Champions as well, the numbers are just too low. The Halloween patch is just too close to put this in and test it, but we are also working on improving this.

With her distinctive fashion sense and robust stage presence, it's hard to imagine Russian soprano Anna Netrebko working as a janitor at Saint Petersburg's historic theater of opera and ballet, The Marinsky. But while studying at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, that's exactly what she did. And, later, when she auditioned for the theatre, conductor Valery Gergiev recognized Netrebko from her previous job and became her vocal mentor. At age 22, Netrebko made her operatic stage debut at The Marinsky as Susanna in "Le nozze di Figaro."
In 1995, at age 24, Netrebko made her American debut at the San Francisco Opera, and in 2002, she debuted at the Metropolitan Opera as Natasha in its premiere of "War and Peace."
Today, Netrebko's star power is undisputed and she is one of the most in-demand sopranos of our day. This weekend, Netrebko will fly into the valley, between her performances of "La Boheme" with the Chicago Lyric Opera, to grace the stage at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek on Monday.
Just a few of the arias to be included in Netrebko's concert are "Tacea La Note," by Verde, Puccini's "In Quelle Trine Morbide" and Giordani's "La Mamma Morta," which many people will remember from the film "The Philadelphia Story."
'A different person'
For more than a decade, Netrebko sang the role of Adina in "Elisir" at major opera houses. It is the sort of light and bright part that brought her to fame.
But, as she recently told David Mermelstein, of the Wall Street Journal, "I'm a different person. I look different and I'm different in my mind. Well, I'm 41 years old - time to grow up. The last two or three years, I was trying to figure out where I'm going. I tried to postpone heavier repertoire. But now I'm saying goodbye to 'inas' (a suffix that often denotes ingenues in opera) and I'm very happy about that."
Netrebko attributes her new outlook to age and motherhood; she gave birth to her first child, a son, Tiago, whose father is the Uruguayan bass-baritone Erwin Schrott.
"After the baby, I got bigger and I like it," she said. "But it's not only about the way I look. It's just that I'm different. It's good; it's interesting. I'm more serious, more responsible. Of course, when you have a kid, things change."
'Why we are who we are'
Just finishing her role as Tatiana at the Met in Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin," Netrebko will try "Manon Lescaut," Puccini's take on the character, slated for Munich in 2014. In 2016, she is scheduled to sing Elsa in "Lohengrin" in Dresden. She is also interested in exploring the operas and orchestral works of Richard Strauss.
Netrebko's move to heavier parts is a bit of a disappointment for her.
"What I like about the comic roles is that there's plenty of room for you to be happy," she said. "And if you are happy, you are excited, and if you are excited, you can excite the audience. I love it."
With such accolades and devoted fans, one would think that Netrebko would very much be at ease on stage, but that's not so.
"You can never be relaxed, because you always have to be at your best," she admitted. "And you're more scared of opening night because everyone is judging you - plus there are mean critics. Of course it's pressure. But the thing is, we can handle it. That's why we are who we are."

EL CERRITO -- The swarming defense of the St. Mary's High girls basketball team limited Salesian to 21 points through three quarters as Panthers captured the Tri-County Athletic League playoff championship with a 48-40 victory at El Cerrito High.
With the victory, the Panthers (25-4) will most likely earn the No. 1 seed in Division IV when seeding for the North Coast Section playoffs are announced Sunday.
"We just did a better job of communicating," said St. Mary's coach Nate Fripp about his team's defense Saturday.
The Panthers' Gabby Green scored a team-high 21 points, including seven in a key 9-1 run in the first four minutes of the second quarter.
St. Mary's entered the second quarter with only a 12-7 lead, but a 3-pointer in the left corner by Green and two free throws in the first minute started the 9-1 run. Salesian (23-6) didn't closer than six points the rest of the game.
"She was under control, she knew when to attack," said Fripp about Green, who also had six steals. "She played a great floor game."
St. Mary's Taylor Berry also did a great job defending Salesian star Mariya Moore. Moore scored a team-high 21 points, but 11 of those points were in the final four minutes of the game. The Panthers held a 37-21 lead after three quarters. Moore grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds in the game.
St. Mary's Mikayla Cowling had a great all-around game with 11 points, eight rebounds, four steals and three assists. Teammate Kwele Serrell pased for seven assists.

Moise to start for Stillman against Benedict
Published: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 8:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 8:08 p.m.
As the clock expires, the quarterback releases the football just in time, but the aftermath leaves him scarred.
The Stillman football team watched one of their leaders collapse after a heartbreaking loss against Lane last week.
The Tigers' starting quarterback, Josh Straughan, is out for the season with a broken right collarbone.
"It's definitely going to be tough watching from the sidelines, but everything happens for a reason," Straughan said.
Straughan was on his way to having a solid year as a sophomore. In five games, he completed 98 passes for 1,334 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Straughan said this is an unfortunate setback because he was getting better each game.
Straughan is staying positive and looking forward to next year. He said he believes in his team and teammate Torrance Moise, who will be filling his role.
Moise transferred from Webber International University and has played wide receiver and alternated with Straughan at quarterback.
Moise has completed 19 passes for 227 yards with a touchdown this season.
"He is a great athlete and a good quarterback," Straughan said. "He is going to take over the team, and I have all the confidence in the world in him doing so."
Coach Teddy Keaton said the game plan will remain the same because Moise knows the offense as well as Straughan does.
"He played football for me at Webber and started for two years," Keaton said. "He can execute, throw the ball and run the ball. He can do everything Josh can do."
Moise said he wants to keep the offensive tempo on the same track and be the leader for his team.
"Coming in as a senior, I have to step up and pick up where he left off. We have to believe and make right decisions on offense," Moise said.
Moise will have the opportunity to start in his final homecoming game, at 1:30 p.m. today against Benedict. The Tigers are trying to keep their focus on the field.
"Homecoming is great, but it's for the fans and the alumni," Keaton said. "It's a distraction sometimes for the players because a lot of the younger guys have not been around to see this atmosphere.
"Leading up to Saturday, you have to be focused on playing a football game, and then on Saturday night, you can enjoy the end of homecoming," Keaton said.
The Tigers' goals remain unchanged.
"We have been practicing hard and so far everything has been going smooth. This is a big game for us, and we need to get this win to keep our hopes alive for the (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) championship," Moise said. "I expect to put up good numbers and do everything in my power to contribute to this offense and help this team."

- Both attacks are classified as a melee.
- Critical strike chance is calculated on each attack individually.
- Both attacks can miss and be dodged.
- Aegis Protection will only block the first hit.
- Riposte will block both hits.
- Spell shields will not block the effect.
Additional Information:
- The first attack functions as the trigger of Double Strike's on-hit effect and resets Double Strike's counter. The second attack will generate a stack of Double Strike if completed. As such, continuous attacking will net an activation of Double Strike on every 3rd attack.
- If the target dies to the first hit, Double Strike's counter is still reset.
Ability Details
Alpha Strike is a targeted blink that bounces to nearby enemies before arriving.
- Applies spell effects as an area of effect ability.
- Spell vamp is reduced to one-third effectiveness.
- slow for 1 second. will apply a 40%
- Spell shields will block the ability.
Additional Information:
- If the primary target dies or becomes invulnerable as Master Yi finishes Alpha Strike, he will appear at the cast location.
- Alpha Strike counts as movement for the purpose of , , , , and .
- The total bonus damage from a critical strike is shown in the ability tooltip.
- Alpha Strike cooldown reduction counts up when attacking Turrets, but not when under the effect of Blind.
- The damage is calculated after Master Yi becomes targetable, meaning that bonus AD from auras will be factored. This means he can also take tower aggro from the damage dealt.
- Neutral minions will lose patience when Master Yi is untargetable, but they do not reset their health.
- It is possible to cast Summoner Spells while using Alpha Strike, such as .
- Alpha Strike can be used to dodge and avoid skillshots and area of effect abilities. Some dodgeable spells involve the damage instance of Time Bomb, Absolute Zero and Requiem.
- Since V3.13, Alpha Strike can be used to dodge targeted abilities, with some exceptions such as Fizz's Urchin Strike.
- Being untargetable extends to allies, except for Wish.
- Alpha Strike does not hit enemies in stealth or in the Fog of War.
Ability Details
Meditate is a self-targeted buff.
Additional Information:
- As a channeled ability, it can be interrupted by any form of hard-CC.
- Healing amount depends on the amount of health while the healing tick occurs, not at the casting point of health. As such, Master Yi heals less per second as his current health increases.
- Although the tooltip show that he heals each second while channeling, the healing tick occurs every 0.5 seconds instead, but heals for half of the amount shown in the tooltip with a total of 8 ticks.
- Damage reduction doesn't affect true damage.
Ability Details
Wuju Style's passive is a self-targeted buff.
Wuju Style's active is an on-hit effect.
- The triggering attack will apply other on-hit effects and can critically strike as normal.
- Critical strikes will not interact with Wuju Style's bonus true damage.
- The bonus damage will not affect structures.
- The true damage will hit through block.
- The true damage will NOT hit through dodge and blind.
- True damage ignores all forms of damage reduction, except invulnerability.
Additional Information:
- Wuju Style has no cast time and does not interrupt Master Yi's previous orders.
Ability Details
Highlander's passive reduces the remaining cooldowns of Master Yi's basic abilities whenever he scores a kill or assist.
Highlander's active is a self-targeted buff.
Additional Information:
- Highlander has no cast time and does not interrupt Master Yi's previous orders.
- Highlander is one of the few abilities granting a multiplicative movement speed bonus; it stacks multiplicatively rather than additively with other movement speed bonuses.
- The slow immunity of Highlander also includes those applied by Flee and Polymorph, as well as all forms of attack speed reduction.
- The main exception to this however is Charm, as Yi will still be slowed as normal when inflicted with it.
- Highlander will not prevent the application of the Sejuani's "Frost" debuff, as it does not slow prior to being detonated by Permafrost.
- Abilities with conditional effects are usually composed of multiple debuffs, and ignoring the movement speed slowing debuff will not ignore the conditional effects. To name a few:
- Master Yi will still have his attack damage reduced by Mocking Shout and Chomp.
- Master Yi will still be stunned by Petrifying Gaze.
- Additionally, Master Yi's dance speed increases with his movement speed.

SAN JOSE -- The first time Lou DeFeyter saw her days-old son was also the last time she would see him for 63 years.
"He had curly hair, a cute face," she said of the quick peek at the baby down the hall from her hospital room in Davenport, Iowa, where she had been whisked away by her mother after getting pregnant out-of-wedlock at age 23 in San Jose. Her mother and Iowa relatives ordered her to put her baby up for adoption.
"I didn't want to do it," DeFeyter recalled. "But it was decided for me. I never got to hold him, feed him or anything. They knew I'd get attached to him."
During her furtive reconnaissance, though, she saw his name -- Ronald Lee Albright.
And then he was gone.
A series of events over the decades, however, finally led her back to the baby she had only glimpsed at long ago at midnight in the dimmed hospital lights.
Her longing ended last week when her son turned up at her San Jose doorstep.
DeFeyter, who feared talking about her secret baby with anyone, searched for Ron in her heart for six-plus decades. Ron -- who didn't fully learn he was adopted until he was 33 -- found himself scanning the faces of older women in and around his hometown of Rock Island, Ill., just across the Mississippi River from Davenport.
"I thought she might be around the Quad Cities area looking at me," he said of a group of cities along the Mississippi River on the Iowa—Illinois line. "Or maybe she just didn't care, and that's the way it's going to be."
Ron had his first inkling that he was adopted at age 16 or 17, when an uncle blurted out to his parents one night, "He's not yours."
It was the last time the uncle visited his house.
Years later, Ron's adoptive mother was ill and needed blood. At the hospital, his father said bluntly that his son did not have the same blood type as his mother's because he was adopted.
"I was flabbergasted. It really hurt," recalled Ron, who nonetheless loves and respects his deceased parents, who were strict but provided for him the best they knew how.
Ron has had what he considers a good life. He's a retired casino janitor who sells coins part time at coin shows. He's attended 500 baseball games and witnessed three no-hitters. Ron's a whiz with numbers. He never married. He considers a dozen or so squirrels that visit his porch for the peanuts he feeds them "family."
A letter from San Jose -- sent via registered mail -- upended his life.
DeFeyter, who would eventually marry Ron's biological father and have two daughters with him, wondered what clothes her boy wore and how well he did in school.
"I always had Ron in my heart," DeFeyter said.
Then one late night in July, a discussion about babies triggered an uncontrollable urge in her to tell her secret. She announced to daughter Margie Moura: "When I was 23, I had a baby."
The next day, she told her other daughter, Fern Bokamper, who began to cry. "I was stunned," Bokamper said.
At their mother's request, the daughters began a frantic search for their brother. They had a huge advantage: Mom knew his name.
With the help of volunteers working with groups like Search Finders of California, they found his location. Last month, DeFeyter and her daughters sent him letters -- first to a wrong address, then by registered mail.
After initially ignoring repeated notices by the U.S. Postal Service to pick up a package, Ron finally got the letters.
"It felt funny," he said. "It felt strange."
Ron, in disbelief, asked a buddy to immediately meet him at a local Wendy's and read the hand-written letters.
"I couldn't believe it," he said. "Something like this -- you hear about it on 'The Jenny Jones Show,' 'Montel,' 'Unsolved Mysteries.' But this doesn't happen to me."
He dithered for days before dialing the number his mother provided in her letter. Two-hour phone chats ensued. And then he decided to drive across the country to his birth mother's house.
On Saturday, the family hosted a lunch reception at a San Jose Olive Garden for the son who was lost but now is found. The gathering was an emotional one. Simultaneously total strangers yet vitally connected to each other, Ron and his new/old family exchanged hugs and kisses. He, like his mother and sisters, has an upbeat disposition.
"God directed us to find him," said DeFeyter, now 87, who remarried after divorcing Ron's father, who died in 1986. "I couldn't have had anything better than this happen in my life."
After lunch was served, Ron was given gifts -- photo frames engraved with messages of love. On Monday, he'll attend the San Francisco 49ers-Chicago Bears game at Candlestick Park with a nephew.
"We wanted him to know how much we love him," Fern Bokamper said.
The blood that binds families together can also haunt those separated at birth, said Dorothy Yturriaga, founder of Search Finders of California, a nonprofit that assists adoptees and birth parents looking to reconnect.
"People get married. They have kids -- that's big. But this is bigger," she said. "It's your identity."
Not all searchers, though, end in happy endings, Yturriaga said. Sometimes birth parents find such reunions too painful.
Particularly for birth mothers, "The guilt is very deep," said Yturriaga, who tracked down her birth mother only to be turned away.
Ron plans to return to San Jose in the spring. His family, though, is trying to persuade him to relocate to San Jose.
After connecting with his mom for only the second time in his life, Ron told her: "Now I know who I am."

Last night there was a group of herd golfers slowing the entire course down. We waited on every teepad after hole 10 and it was all because that herd backed everyone up behind them. It's not like I could ask them to play through either, we were stuck about 4 or 5 groups behind them. When they were teeing off on 15 they had a bunch of groups stacked behind them with the rest of the course wide open in front of them, which is probably how it had been for awhile. I understand that if a course is crowded a round will take longer and that doesn't bother me. What does bother me is a bunch of people playing in a huge group and slowing an entire course down when there's a bunch of open holes in front of them. I didn't see them let anyone through either. I guess besides venting about how stupid and inconsiderate it is to play in a large group when a course is crowded I'm wondering if I'm the only one who HATES this herd golf concept?
tl;dr: When a course is crowded herd golf sucks. Please stop this nonsense.

Indonesian calamity inspires life-saving discovery
Dr. Brian Cavitt,
associate professor
of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Imagine an additive that could keep staph from growing on painted walls in hospitals. Or prevent algae from invading in-ground water storage vessels. Or inhibit salmonella from growing on surfaces used for food preparation.
A biofilm resistant polymer, or "germ filter," developed by Dr. Brian Cavitt offers those possibilities and many more. It works differently from current anti-bacterial materials because germs do not develop a resistance to it.
Birth of an idea
The consumer and medical applications are limited only by our imagination.
In 2004, an earthquake struck Indonesia, resulting in a tsunami and the death of approximately 200,000 people. Seeing the aftermath of the tsunami and the significant need for safe drinking water sparked an idea in the mind of Cavitt, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry.
He set out with a group of student researchers to produce chemicals that could be used to purify water in developing countries or during natural disasters.
What started as an attempt to purify water, however, turned into something entirely new - a biofilm resistant polymer that offers a wide range of applications both for consumers and in the medical field.
A change in plans
In preliminary testing, Cavitt and his team discovered that their product did not in fact kill germs, meaning it could not be used to purify drinking water. However, the material stopped the germs from reproducing or growing.
Through this testing, Cavitt and his team had discovered a new method to keep germs from growing on most any surface or material. The team has since demonstrated that the material can keep staph, strep, salmonella and bugs from growing even in raw sewage, one of the most germ-laden environments around.
Making it official
Cavitt filed the first patent application for his new polymer on June 6, 2008, while he was in Indonesia participating in social and medical relief work. On Aug. 16, 2012, Cavitt's patent application for new methods to keep bacteria, mold and mildew from growing on plastic materials was published. Under U.S. patent law, a patent application is granted the same privileges as a full patent until the full patent is granted or rejected.
Cavitt's invention goes beyond anti-bacterial products, such as aerosol spray and hand wash, to which bacteria, viruses, molds, mildews and algae often become resistant. Once they adapt, anti-bacterial products are no longer effective to kill them. Cavitt's polymer does not kill germs, but presents the germs with a surface that repels them.
"It's like offering me shrimp when I'm deathly allergic to it; I am going to avoid going to a restaurant that serves shrimp or other food that may have been in close quarters with shrimp," says Cavitt.
Real world application
Professionally, our work has moved ACU into a position of international recognition as a leader in the academic coatings community, especially energy curable coatings," says Cavitt. "Socially, the work has the potential to revolutionize how we approach 'germs' and will have extreme benefit to the health of the world's populace.
"The design of a germ-resistant surface that germs cannot grow accustomed to is a goal of many researchers and business people," says Cavitt. "The consumer and medical applications are limited only by our imagination."
Applications for Cavitt's polymer include interior and exterior paints sold at home improvement stores to reduce mold and mildew growth. This could be especially helpful for wall paint within hospitals and nursing homes, where germs are more likely to grow and spread. The design could also be used to coat surfaces used for food preparation to reduce the risk of food contamination.
"The filter could be used anywhere there is human-to-object contact to keep germs from growing on the object and thereby reduce the likelihood for human illness," says Cavitt.
Further applications include coating in-ground concrete water vessels to prevent algae growth, and coating water or oil field pipes to reduce organic build-up. "It addresses the major problem of subterranean bug growth in pipes." says Cavitt.
"This design has the potential to revolutionize how we approach germs and will have extreme benefit to the health of the world's populace," Cavitt says. And that gives him a great measure of satisfaction.
"Professionally, our work has moved ACU into a position of international recognition as a leader in the academic coatings community, especially energy curable coatings," says Cavitt. "Socially, the work has the potential to revolutionize how we approach 'germs' and will have extreme benefit to the health of the world's populace. If maybe I'll have helped one child live, where before she might have perished, I'll consider all my research efforts a success," he says.

The abnormal behaviors demonstrated by cancer cells are the result of a series of mutations in key regulatory genes. The cells become progressively more abnormal as more genes become damaged. Often, the genes that are in control of DNA repair become damaged themselves, rendering the cells even more susceptible to ever-increasing levels of genetic mayhem.
Below is an animation that demonstrates the relationship between chromosomes, genes and DNA.
Most cancers are thought to arise from a single mutant precursor cell. As that cell divides, the resulting 'daughter' cells may acquire different mutations and different behaviors over a period of time. Those cells that gain an advantage in division or resistance to cell death will tend to take over the population. In this way, the tumor cells are able to gain a wide range of capabilities that are not normally seen in the healthy version of the cell type represented. The changes in behavior seen in cancer cells are the focus of the Cancer Biology section of the site.
Mutations in key regulatory genes (tumor suppressors and proto-oncogenes) alter the behavior of cells and can potentially lead to the unregulated growth seen in cancer.
For almost all types of cancer studied to date, it seems as if the transition from a normal, healthy cell to a cancer cell is a step-wise progression that requires many genetic changes that add up to create the cancer cell. These mutations occur on both oncogenes and tumor suppressors. This is one reason why cancer is much more prevalent in older individuals. In order to generate a cancer cell, a series of mutations must occur in the same cell. Since the likelihood of any gene becoming mutated is very low, it stands to reason that the chance of several different mutations occuring in the same cell is truly very unlikely. For this reason, the cells in a 70 year old body have had more time to accumulate the changes needed to form cancer cells but those in a child are much less likely to have acquired the requisite genetic changes. Of course, some children do get cancer but it is much more common in older individuals. The graph below shows colon cancer rates in the United States as a function of age. The graph was obtained from the National Cancer Institute. (1)
By looking at the shape of curves like the ones shown above, it has been concluded that several genetic changes are required to create cells that become cancerous.
In the laboratory, researchers have been attempting to create tumor cells by altering or introducing key regulatory proteins. Several studies have attempted to define the minimal number of genetic changes needed to create a cancer cell, with intriguing results.(2)
In nature, mutations can accumulate in cells over time and if the 'right' group of genes are mutated, cancer can result. A 2012 study showed that bone marrow stem cells in a healthy individual accumulate many mutations as the person ages. Just a few more changes to key genes can cause cancer. The results imply that 'normal' cells and cancer cells may not be all that different in many cases.(3)

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO) Officials say the strong odor has created a learning experience for all parties involved. The VA hospital used a local company called WD Yards to kill weeds around the campus Tuesday evening. The company used federally approved, environmentally friendly herbicides. However, they do have a strong odor, leaving several staff and patients concerned for their well-being.
"We haven't really had anything that's exactly like this before," says Paul Sweeney, Grand Junction VA spokesman. Sweeney says nothing illegal or negligent was done. "The contractor sprayed a much higher volume than we expected." It was simply a disturbing odor that left several staff and patients at the VA nervous and uncomfortable. "This particular herbicide has a very strong scent, that scent was pulled into the air handling unit; so our patients were very concerned because of the heavy, oily smell," explains Sweeney. It's difficult to know exactly how many people noticed something out of the ordinary. "It was after normal business hours, I do know that the smell was around the ER, and a few other areas. It's very dependent upon what the air handler is doing automatically with the air, because it adjusts for temperature, humidity; there are a lot of things going on inside of it." But no illnesses or injuries from the odor have been reported. "Some people are sensitive to that scent; some people, they might get a headache; some people will say their eyes burn or itch a little bit," adds Sweeney.
The sub-contractor, WD Yards in Grand Junction, used two men for the job, and worked with a VA safety officer. "The people that knew we were doing the work were all aware of it, but I think our misstep there was that some of the other staff were not aware of what we were treating outside, and it caused some alarm for those people," says Bill Christensen, President of WD Yards. Christensen says the pre-emergent weed killer used has a unique smell. "You can smell it maybe up to a 100 yards away," he says.
Both Christensen and Sweeney agree the lesson learned is simple, but important. "We just need to inform more of the staff there at the VA the next time we're out there working," says Christensen.
This was WD Yards first time doing a job at the VA. They've been in business since 1985 and have never had something like this happen.
The VA does plan on doing business with them in the future.
VA officials say from now on they're only going to spray in the late evenings or on weekends.

UConn facing federal Title IX lawsuit
Attorney Gloria Allred, second from right, speaks to the media on Friday, Nov. 1, 2013 outside of U.S. District Court in Hartford, Conn. Allred filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the four women with her, from left, Kylie Angell, Rosemary Richi, Erica Daniels and Carolyn Luby, who claim the University of Connecticut violated their civil rights in response to sexual assault allegations the women made while students at the school (AP Photo/Pat Eaton-Robb) by Pat Eaton-RobbAssociated Press Writer HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Four women who say they were sexually assaulted while students at the University of Connecticut added a federal lawsuit Friday to an earlier civil rights complaint filed against the school. The women are among seven students and recent graduates who last month asked the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights to conduct a federal Title IX investigation of UConn. In both complaints, the women allege the school failed to protect them and responded to their sexual assault complaints with deliberate indifference or worse.

The court refused to hear Curb's appeal of a lower court's ruling that McGraw was free to record with whomever he wished while his legal fight with his longtime label continued through the court system. An appeals court affirmed that ruling last year and Curb sought the Supreme Court's help. The court signed an order last week denying the appeal.
McGraw released "Two Lanes of Freedom" on his new label on Feb. 5. It debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 all-genre albums chart, selling more than 106,000 copies. It's the first album of his career not to be released on Curb.

Bogus Mandela Interpreter Helped Burn Two Men Alive
(NEWSER) – Thamsanqa Jantjie has done things a lot worse than making up sign language—including burning two men alive, one of his relatives and three of his friends tell the AP. We already knew that Jantjie had murder charges on his resume, but now we know the specifics: Apparently Jantjie was amongst a group of people who accosted two men they'd caught with a stolen television in 2003. The mob put tires around the suspected thieves' necks and set the tires on fire, killing them—a common apartheid-era execution technique known as "necklacing."

Invertebrates are the most abundant creatures on earth, crawling, flying, floating, or swimming in virtually all of Earth's habitats, from townhouses to tropical rainforests. Yet most of us rarely notice them unless they're in our gardens or on our dinner plates.
Invertebrates—creatures without backbones—are nature's unsung heroes, quietly playing vital roles in earth's ecosystems. About 99 percent of all known living species are invertebrates. Vertebrates—fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals—make up a tiny fraction of life on earth. more about the silent majority
It is nearly impossible to go a day without encountering one of the million species of arthropods. Most of them are insects, and many others are spiders.
