The purpose of this meeting is to define the problems and explore solutions for delivering viral vaccines to developing countries in Asia. The conference will focus primarily on 5 important diseases: rotavirus, rabies, cervical carcinoma due to human papilloma virus, Japanese encephalitis and influenza. Most vaccine manufacturing capacity is in developed countries such as Japan, Europe and the United States. However, much of the burden of disease is in developing countries where newly developed vaccines for these diseases are not readily available or affordable. The conference will cover the epidemiology and disease burden in less developed countries in Asia, the current status, use and distribution of vaccines for these diseases, the prospect for and problems with developing manufacturing capacity in the 3rd world, and new vaccine technologies on the horizon.

Natalie Portman to direct 1st film in Jerusalem
Published: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 11:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 11:04 a.m.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli film officials say Israeli-American actress Natalie Portman will direct her first feature film, based on an autobiographical novel by celebrated Israeli writer Amos Oz.
Yoram Honig of the Jerusalem Film Fund and a publicist for the film said Wednesday that Portman wrote the screenplay and will also star in the movie as Oz's troubled mother.
They say Portman is to arrive in October in Israel to cast local actors. The movie will be filmed in Jerusalem in early 2014.
It's not decided if the film will be shot in Hebrew or English. Honig's fund is providing $400,000.
The movie is based on Oz's 2002 autobiography, "A Tale of Love and Darkness," about his youth during Israel's founding years.
The publicist spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the project.

INDIAN FISHING CONTROL UNDER FIRE The right of Indians to control fishing on Indian lands is under a two-pronged attack in the courts. Recently in Billings M.O.D., (Montanans Opposing Discrimination), helped deliver a setback to that right in a test case involving the Crow Indians. That case is now under appeal, with M.O.D. officials announcing they will fund a further fight which may have far reaching implications for a number of other reservations. The right of the tribe t6 regulate hunting and fishing within the Flathead Reservation is currently at stake in a case be- fore the U.S. District Court in Missoula, according to a brief filed by attorney Richard Baen-en, whose law firm acts as general counsel to the Tribe. Appearing in the Missoula court before Judge Russell E, Smith Darwin Zempel, a 19 year old St. Ignatius resident, testified that he was a member of the organization called FREE,(Flathead Residents Earning Equality) The group has the goal of abolishing the tribal permit system. Zemple stated that as a FREE member he had been cited for ignoring the tribal permit regulations in December 1974, when he fished tribal waters, and that he forfeited a $25 bond for it. He added, " After that I was not going to fish on any more tribal land. " He claimed that when he ice fished at the Lower Crow Creek Reservoir, " As far as I knew, I didn't know they controlled it." He stated that he read in a newspaper that fishing east of " A canal" irrigation ditch was allowed without a permit, and that he thought fishing on the Lower Crow Creek Reservoir, which was west of " A canal" was allowed. continued page 2 VOLUME 5 NUMBER )«( // MOON OF THE HALF SUMMER HALF AUTUMN OCTOBER 1, 1975 COUNCILMAN APPOINTED TO TASK FORCE Helena: Tribal Councilman .....

On tonight's Late Show, Brian Williams stopped by to chat with David Letterman about his holiday vacation. What did we learn? Williams' junk was felt up—multiple times!—by the TSA. Also: Williams never ceases to be hilarious. Watch inside.
Of course, this isn't the first time that Williams has spoken (bragged?) publicly about his penis—remember this?

SAN JOSE -- Armando Ochoa, the drunk San Jose house painter who killed two elderly men and severely injured another -- then blamed a swollen brain cyst for his road rage -- was convicted Tuesday of two counts of murder and one count of assault by a highly skeptical jury.
"We felt the cyst was a red herring," a retired county appraiser who served on the jury said afterward.
But the panel deadlocked on whether to convict Ochoa of attempted murder in connection with the injured man. Instead, the panel found him guilty of assault with a deadly weapon (his white SUV).
Short and stocky with silver spectacles, Ochoa bowed his head so low it almost touched the table as the clerk read the first guilty verdict. He then took off his glasses and wiped his eyes as she intoned the rest. Ochoa has been in jail without bail since the Sept. 14, 2008, crash in Hillview Park.
Now 49, he faces a maximum of more than 40 years to life, though Judge Diane Northway may show leniency by sentencing him to concurrent rather than consecutive terms for each crime. The next court date is Jan. 30.
But it was clear the jury of five women and seven men had little sympathy for Ochoa, who had racked up 10 speeding tickets, four drunken driving convictions and one hit-and-run accident by the time he killed Aproniano Siruno, 71, and Rodolfo Escurial, 67, and severely injured Esteban Casiano, 73.
Hunting trouble
Before the collision, as described in court by the prosecutor, Ochoa had been up all night drinking, then argued with his son so vociferously a neighbor called the police. Ochoa then had a beer with breakfast, ignored a warning by a restaurant manager that he was too drunk to drive, erupted into road rage with a bewildered motorist, argued with a group of soccer players and threatened to kill someone right before he actually did.
After his arrest, his blood-alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit. His wife, who divorced him after his arrest, testified she would hide the car keys from him so he wouldn't drive, and urged him specifically not to go to Hillview Park because he'd been beaten up there before. Ochoa testified he went there to score some cocaine.
"Society and individuals in his life told him time and time again not to drink and drive -- even on the day of the accident," said the jury forewoman, a tech saleswoman.
Jurors also noted that on the stand, Ochoa showed virtually no remorse.
"He seemed to only care about himself," said one juror, a retiree from the phone company.
The prosecution is likely to dismiss the attempted murder charge because little would be gained by a retrial, experts said.
The reason the jurors could not agree Ochoa was guilty of attempted murder for injuring Casiano, yet found him guilty of second-degree murder for killing Siruno and Rodolfo Escurial, lies in the legal definitions of those crimes.
Attempted murder requires the prosecutor to prove Ochoa acted out of "express malice" -- that is with intent to kill. Jurors tried to reach consensus on that issue, taking five votes, according to interviews with several jurors. But they wound up where they started when they took the first vote, 9-3, in favor of a conviction. The closest they got to unanimity was 11-1. They were out a total of two and a half days.
But on second-degree murder, each juror was free to choose between believing Ochoa acted out of express malice -- the intent to kill -- or implied malice -- a conscious disregard for human life.
Some jurors said they believed he showed a conscious disregard for life, but not intent to kill.
Opposing testimony.
Even though the prosecution did not prevail on all the counts, the verdict was a victory for prosecutor Dan Fehderau, who struck a reasonable tone tinged with outrage during the two-month trial rather than a shrill, angry rant.
"He's a danger to the community and I think the verdicts say that," Fehderau said.
During the trial, the panel sat through about 10 hours of testimony from two respected neurosurgeons about Ochoa's "arachnoid" cyst, which they agreed sat atop his left temporal lobe.
The defense expert who flew in for free from Norway contended that pressure from that spiderlike growth could have reduced the circulation of blood in Ochoa's brain, triggering a series of severe anxiety attacks that left Ochoa unaware he'd been in a fatal collision that day.
But the jury was more impressed by a Stanford doctor who testified for the prosecution. He said most arachnoid cysts, including Ochoa's, are stable. In contrast, the Norwegian expert said many such cysts cause problems, a view that he acknowledged is "different from almost any other neurosurgeon in the world."
In the end, the jury was able to decide on the murder convictions in about a day and half. One juror credited Fehderau with advising the panel well.
"When you said, 'Use common sense,' that really helped," she told the prosecutor after the trial, outside the courtroom. "It didn't happen because of a cyst; he was angry, out to make trouble."

"House of Cards," the most prominent of Netflix's original shows and an adaptation of an acid British miniseries, is almost entirely consumed with nastiness. Its main character, Democratic House Majority Whip Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey), is a master of the carefully delivered political shiv, a manipulator who makes Lyndon Johnson look cuddly. His chief of staff isn't just written as tough and savvy -- he's willing to manipulate a prostitute into helping him knock a vulnerable Congressman off the wagon.
But there is no one to whom the show is nastier, and for no discernible reason, than female political reporters -- in "House of Cards" they are promiscuous, catfight-prone and entirely unethical. If the depiction of Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) and Janine Skorsky (Constance Zimmer) is meant to be a trenchant critique of Washington journalism, or of sexism in Washington journalism, it falls very, very short of that mark. Instead, it's grotesquely insulting to the women who do serious policy and political reporting in Washington every day.
At various times, it seems as if "House of Cards" is proud of its apparently trenchant critique of sexism in the Washington press corps.
After Zoe gets photographed going to the Kennedy Center in a dress that turns out to be more see-through than intended, one of her colleagues sends her an email that says, "If you want 'em to take you seriously, maybe wear more than a g-string?" Later, when she clashes with her boss, Tom, after turning down a promotion to White House correspondent, Tom lashes out, calling her an expletive generally reserved for women.
None of this feels slightly realistic. This isn't to say that sexism doesn't exist in the Washington press corps, or that it can't be ugly. But the problems are most often systemic, rather than comically villainous. According to a 2008 report by UNITY, an organization that represents journalists of color, and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, women made up just the 32.3 percent of positions in the Washington press corps, and just 23.8 percent of editing positions and 20 percent of bureau chief positions. In surveys of major magazine bylines, the literary organization VIDA found that men overwhelmingly outnumber women, and correspondingly, women are nominated for far fewer National Magazine Awards. Women are also frequently siloed into covering so-called "pink" topics, issues that are treated as if they are of interest to female readers, but not to a general news audience. "House of Cards" is not interested in these real journalism issues, perhaps because it's too busy pitting Zoe and Janine against each other, or insisting that all female journalists are sleeping their way to the top.
I'm not against the idea that bad people can be interesting, or that women can be rivals, or even that the pace of political reporting puts extraordinary pressures on young reporters to get the scoop. But when "House of Cards" attributes Zoe's success to a "pushup bra and the v-necked tee," I know the show has no interest in getting this profession right. "House of Cards" has mistaken sordid, sexist fantasies for trenchant insight, and is poorer for it.

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. -- The votes are in and TSPLOST has passed in the CSRA.
That means a 1-cent increase to the sales tax for transportation projects throughout the area. That 1-cent sales tax will begin on Jan. 1 and will be used to fund over 80 projects throughout 13 counties.
In Columbia County, first on the list is the expansion of Riverwatch Parkway, and it's something that's causing a mixed reaction.
Joon Kho and his family opened Evans Cleaners off Old Petersburg Road 12 years ago with one purpose in mind.
"Even though this place is kinda far away from a lot of traffic, she knew about this project and she knew that once this road expanded it would bring in a lot of traffic -- that's why she chose this place," Kho said.
More than a decade later, it's still not done.
"We're just waiting," Kho said.
But after voters passed TSPLOST on Tuesday, their wait is almost over.
Matt Schlachter, director of Construction and Maintenance in Columbia County, said, "Riverwatch Parkway is our number one priority in Columbia County. That project has been going on for a long time."
Now the money from TSPLOST will help them complete it. About 54 percent voted for the 1 percent sales tax increase to fund transportation projects while 46 percent voted against it.
"I know it was a topic of a lot of discussion. Was it needed, was it not needed? We're glad to have the opportunity to collect this money," Schlachter said. "There's a lot of project's we're gonna build with this money, a lot of needed projects. It's gonna help traffic flow, get people moving from Richmond County to Columbia County, hopefully bring some businesses out here."
For businesses that traffic flow may be great, but those who live along the road don't feel the same way.
"If we had known that they were gonna take as much of our front yard as they are, we would've bought somewhere else," said Richard Cleveland, who lives on Old Petersburg Road.
The expansion will cut about 10 feet into his yard.
"I have a grandchild that I like to play with in my front yard, and it's already dangerous with the traffic and now you're talking about more traffic and people drive up and down here like it's I-20, so I don't think it's a good idea. I really don't," he said.
But Cleveland says he's not against TSPLOST in general, just the plans to take away part of his yard.
"If it's gonna generate some more income so the city can do what it needs to do, then it's good," he added.
That tax increase will begin on Jan. 1. They are hoping to have some money in to the county by March and start projects, like the Riverwatch expansion, by next summer.

After posting this recipe and asking for advice on how to make the batter crispier, many of you replied with very helpful advice. Basically, you advocated for 3 things: chickpea flour, rice flour, and/or some kind of starch. I did not have any rice flour, so I went with cornstarch and chickpea flour. Success! The batter crisped up nicely and did not tend to burn like the previous recipe. I also upped the vital wheat gluten to make sure the tofu was not too moist, and made smaller balls. I think the flax might be superfluous with the chickpea flour but I kept it anyway. So, there is some room to play with this recipe. Have fun!
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tbsp chickpea flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp plain soy milk
- 1 tbsp finely ground flax seed
- 2 tbsp warm water
- 1 pkg extra firm tofu, pressed for 20 mins
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp poultry spice (or to taste)
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- ground white pepper
- 1-2 tbsp vital wheat gluten
- oil for frying
1. Heat your frying oil to 375 degrees.
2. While oil is heating, make the batter by whisking together flours, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk flax seed and water together until thick, and then whisk flax mixture into the soy milk. Whisk wet into dry ingredients. Add more liquid or flour as needed. The goal is a thick pancake batter consistency--not too thick, but not so thin that it drips right off the balls. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Make the tofu balls: mush the tofu in your hands until very fine and clumping together. Add spices and hoisin sauce and mix well. Adjust seasonings to taste. Sprinkle the wheat gluten over top and mix in. Form into about 30 balls, not too big.
4. To fry: dip a few balls into the batter, letting any excess drip off (I use 2 spoons to coat the balls and transfer to the oil). Fry for 1-2 mins, until very lightly golden. Drain. Repeat with remaining balls. Return first set of balls to the oil, letting fry until a deep golden brown. Drain and serve with your sauce of choice.

I made these yesterday... they were good... my 2 yr old actually ate two of them and my non veg husband said they were pretty good... i think i will add more vwg next time, because my tofu was still a little too moist... i pressed it for an hour, but that was my first time pressing tofu, so maybe there was something that i didnt do right... either way, they were good:)

I tried these today and they were really good. Thank you! I think you're right, the flax seed isn't really necessary. I'm going to play around with it and try to get a batter that's a thicker layer on the tofu balls. I served them with sweet and sour sauce, but I made the mistake of putting the sauce on the balls too early and they were a bit soggy so a piece of advice to anyone trying this recipe: serve the sauce on the side so the balls stay crispy. And Elise, I did mine in a big wok on the stove and it worked well.
Thanks again for this recipe! I had sweet and sour soy balls a while back at Lotus Pond in Victoria and have been craving them ever since. This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. :)

Those look delicious. My daughter, 8, recently decided out of the blue that she hates tofu (and tomatoes, cucumbers, peanut butter . . . UGH!), but I think these might turn her around.

You could bake them but you would need to change the breading to panko or something. I don't think the batter would cook up very well at all.
I fried mine in a medium saucepan. Just keep your oil level at about half or less to make sure it does not overboil.

Thanks for this recipe. I've seen people do double frying methods before but just curious, what exactly does it do? why not just fry once?

Thanks for this recipe. I'm going to try it out asap. Just curious, though, I've seen people do double frying before but haven't understood why. Can't we just fry once until crispy brown? Or is that they need to cook slightly and cool slightly before they can stand the duration required for the browning?
Thanks again.

DuPont visitors center named for Aleen Steinberg
Steinberg is longtime advocate for preservation of natural resources
Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 2:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 2:01 p.m.
A new visitors education center set to open this summer at DuPont State Recreational Forest has been named for longtime forest friend and volunteer Aleen Steinberg.
Photo Galleries
Though the newly remodeled 2,600-square-foot center won't open until July, officials with the nonprofit WNC Communities overseeing the project announced its new name — the Aleen Steinberg Center — during a ceremony at 11 a.m. Friday at DuPont's High Falls Access off Staton Road.
A native of Wisconsin and former Floridian, Steinberg spent summer vacations with her husband and children in Cedar Mountain and came to know and love the forest when it was still owned by the DuPont Corp.
She was one of 22 local residents who got together 13 years ago as "Friends of the Falls" to prevent a portion of the forest from being developed into a gated, luxury community after the manufacturing plant closed. That group later morphed into the nonprofit Friends of DuPont Forest.
The Aleen Steinberg Center is located in a handcrafted log building that once served as a sales office for the defunct development. State agricultural officials have allocated $277,000 in proceeds from a $2.24 million settlement with the Tennessee Valley Authority toward upgrading the building. Friends of DuPont has matched $85,000 of that, said WNC Communities Vice President L.T. Ward, with $75,000 already paid.
Steinberg has been a strong advocate for natural and historical resource protection in DuPont. She has worked with Friends of DuPont, the N.C. Forest Service and the N.C. Department of Agriculture and state legislators to raise funds for an education center.
Steinberg has been a DuPont volunteer for years, organizing hikes, maintaining trails and acting as a parking lot host, among other tasks. She also co-founded the nonprofit group Muddy Sneakers, which uses DuPont and other natural areas as outdoor classrooms for fifth-grade experiential education.

Outpatient neurology visits take place in the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion at 160 East 53rd Street, on Third Avenue, in midtown Manhattan; outpatient neurosurgery appointments take place in our Neurosurgery suite on the 4th Floor of Memorial Hospital at 1275 York Avenue, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan between East 67th and 68th Streets. You will be advised of the location of your appointment at the time of your call.
Depending on your situation, however, we might suggest that you forward the following to us for review:
- your medical records
- MRI films
- and other test results
Our experts from Neurology, Neurosurgery, Radiology, and Radiation Oncology discuss the case of each patient, and decide on a treatment recommendation.
Within a day or two, the patient or the patient's caregiver receives a report by phone, followed by a written report.
Why a Record Review
This "Record Review" is a fast and relatively low-cost way to determine the best course of treatment, and can spare the patient the time and energy of a clinic visit. For many patients, the Records Review provides the benefits of Memorial Sloan Kettering's unparalleled expertise in diagnosis and treatment planning, without the necessity of traveling lengthy distances and leaving the care of local physicians. When you call, we will discuss with you the best path for you to follow to get our opinion on your care.
In recommending treatment, we focus solely on what we believe to be the best approach for each patient. This may involve being treated here at Memorial Sloan Kettering, or we may suggest treatment elsewhere. In any case, you can be assured that the recommendation will reflect the most expert learning about proven brain tumor therapies, considering your individual medical and personal circumstances.
See a Memorial Sloan Kettering Doctor Closer to Home
Patients living in the suburbs of New York City may find it more convenient to see a Memorial Sloan Kettering doctor at one of our suburban outpatient cancer centers, where neurologic consultations are available at our Basking Ridge and Commack locations.
At these regional centers, our expert clinicians see patients in local settings, providing the highest standards of comprehensive cancer care, including the most advanced chemotherapy and radiation treatments. This means that brain tumor patients need to come to the Manhattan campus only for certain therapy, such as surgery. When you call us for an appointment, please let us know if you would prefer to be seen at a Memorial Sloan Kettering regional site.

Tax assessor says high land prices being paid for Northern Pass land unlikely to yield tax windfall for towns
Trumbull explained that because there is one company pur- chasing all of the properties for one set purpose, the Dept. of Revenue will look at the land and value as an "assemblage." The value of the parcel will stay the same as it was before it was purchased by Renewable Properties—no matter how much they paid.

The New York Times has an article today titled, "Inquiry of Democratic Senator Started With Partisan Push." The story by Eric Lipton describes our success in getting media coverage for our original research about Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and his relationship with a major donor, Dr. Salomon Melgen. Lipton then states that to Menendez and his staff our work is "proof that the news media frenzy focusing on his actions to help a Florida eye doctor is at least in part a political smear."
The only problem with this story line is that the New York Times approached us shortly before the January 29 FBI raid on Melgen's eye practice in Florida and asked us if we had any information on Melgen. We did not seek to place it with any news organization because there was (and is) even more to the story, and we were (and are) still researching it.

Police in Richmond will increase patrols near the Iron Triangle area of the city after two men were shot fatally on the same street last week.
Richmond residents Lavelle Wallace, 37, and Armon Brown Jr., 22, were gunned down in the 500 block of Fifth Street about 48 hours apart, Richmond police Lt. Bisa French said.
Wallace was shot about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday and Brown was shot about 10:15 p.m. Thursday, French said.
The two killings being so close in proximity and in time alerted Richmond police that violence in the Iron Triangle may be getting ready to ramp up. But French said police are hopeful the shootings are isolated incidents.
"The areas of violence that are of so much concern are in North and Central Richmond, and we don't necessarily believe this was part of that," French said. "This might be something more internal, confined to that street."
The killings mark the city's 16th and 17th homicides of the year, French said. A total of 26 homicides were reported in Richmond in 2011.
Police have not made any arrests in connections with the killings, but French said one of the suspects is a well-known narcotics dealer in the area. The investigation is continuing, she said.

School and youth exchanges
Germany is an attractive destination for academic studies
German schools abroad
German schools abroad are a mainstay of our cultural relations and education policy, having a major long-term impact on their host countries. The schools are run by private associations and cater for the needs of German as well as foreign children interested in an education geared to German norms. Contacts with the host country are fostered not only through the schools' educational but also through their many cultural and social activities.
In the 2003 fiscal year some 117 schools abroad are receiving funding in the order of EUR 179.9 million. In this area the Federal Foreign Office is supported by the Länder (federal states), which are responsible for providing teachers and issuing German school leaving certificates. For further information on individual schools see
International school exchanges
School exchanges play a valuable role in fostering contacts between students, teachers and schools from different countries. The Educational Exchange Service (Pädagogischer Austauschdienst - PAD) of the Standing Conference of German Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (Kultusministerkonferenz), which is responsible for running the various exchange programmes, is jointly funded by the Foreign Office, the Länder and the European Union.
The main programmes receiving Foreign Office funding in this area are:
- Partnerships with schools in the USA, Israel, Central and Eastern European countries and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
- The German language award programme, under which the winners of German language competitions held in over 90 countries across the world are invited to visit Germany.
- Courses for foreign students in German studies and language held in schools in Germany.
- The teaching assistants programme providing one-year placements in schools abroad for our own student teachers training to teach foreign languages and conversely in German schools for student teachers from abroad.
For the second time programmes were organized in 2003 under the auspices of the dialogue between Europe and the Islamic world that were specifically designed for students and teachers from countries with a large Muslim population.
International youth policy
Youth exchanges and cooperation among experts help to develop young people's intercultural and international communication skills. The Federal Government has earmarked some EUR 30 million from its cultural relations budget to fund youth exchanges. The main partner organizations are the Franco-German Youth Office, the Polish-German Youth Office, the Tandem office coordinating youth exchanges with the Czech Republic, the Centre for the Coordination of German-Israeli Youth Exchanges ConAct and the Baltic Sea Secretariat for Youth Affairs in Kiel. The Foreign Office also provides subsidies for trilateral projects of the Deutsch-Französisches Jugendwerk and projects of the Council of European Municipalities and Regions as well as innovative individual projects.
- Internationaler Jugendaustausch- und Besucherdienst (IJAB)
- Franco-German Youth Office
- Polish-German Youth Office
- Tandem office coordinating youth exchanges with the Czech Republic
- Centre for the Coordination of German-Israeli Youth Exchanges ConAct
In 2003 the Federal Foreign Office has earmarked EUR 2.7 million to promote cooperation in the field of sport with Third World countries, countries in Central and Eastern Europe and members of the Commonwealth of Independent States as well as the People's Republic of China and Mongolia. It has also allocated funds from the Stability Pact for Afghanistan to support projects there in the field of sport. Funding is provided mainly for training coaches (particularly football and athletics coaches). All projects receiving support have broad public appeal and serve both to foster international contacts and promote the development of sport in partner countries through the introduction of modern training methods and organizational structures. The Foreign Office is also increasingly supporting sports projects for people with disabilities. All these activities bring Germany enduring gains in terms of good will.
Germany's National Olympic Committee, the Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), leading German sports federations - notably the German Football Association and German Athletics Federation - and the University of Leipzig currently run the following programmes funded by the Foreign Office:
- short (2-4 week) and long-term (2-4 years) coach training projects abroad,
- coach training courses in Germany,
- international encounters in the field of sport.
In addition sports equipment (including balls and sportswear) is donated to schools and associations via our missions abroad.
The Foreign Office also supports offers by German sports federations to host large-scale international competitions, including the bid to host the Olympic Games in summer 2012. It is also helping with the preparations for the Football World Cup to be held in Germany in 2006.

TAHOE, Calif. — Performing is a family affair for the Garcias, which is fitting since that is how Laura and Ricardo first met. It was 18 years ago at a college Songfest where the longtime dancer met her future husband, who had been active in drama throughout high school and college. Fast forward a few years and the couple, along with daughter Olive and son Amadeo, attended Sierra Nevada Dance's production of "The Little Mermaid." They all loved it, and with some encouragement from SND Artistic Director Sherrie Peterson, Laura, Ricardo, and Olive found themselves on the stage for 2012's "Peter Pan: A Neverland Ballet."
Now the family is back on stage again, appearing in "Swan Lake." Ricardo, who has left the world of finance to attend nursing school, will play the dark Von Rothbart, while Laura, a physical therapist by day, takes on the role of the Queen. Olive, age 5, stars as a Flower Girl, giving herself great experience for becoming the ballerina she hopes to be when she grows up. Meanwhile, 3-year-old Amadeo will cheer the family on as an audience member. The whole family agrees dancing together is a wonderful experience, and Laura especially appreciates the inclusiveness of dancing with Sherrie at SND. "It's so warm and welcoming. Everyone gets to dance. I'm so glad to be back dancing after all these years."
See the Garcia family and other talented local dancers at SND's production of "Swan Lake" at the Cal-Neva Resort, April 12-14.
Sierra Nevada Dance will present the classical ballet, featuring 100 local dancers ranging in age from 4 years to adult at the Cal-Neva Resort in the historic Frank Sinatra Celebrity Showroom on April 12, 13, and 14. Friday and Saturday shows are at 7 p.m., Sunday matinee is at 3 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults and $10 for seniors/students, with $3 additional at the door. Advance tickets are available at Sierra Nevada Dance, 530-582-1894, and The Bookshelf's new location in the Westgate Center on Donner Pass Road in Truckee, 530-582-0515.

Steve Irwin's cameraman spoke about the 2006 death of 'The Crocodile Hunter" for the first time, saying the legendary Animal Planet star's last words were "I'm dying" before succumbing to wounds inflicted by a stingray.
Justin Lyons appeared Sunday on Australian morning show Studio 10 and described Irwin's final moments.
"It was shocking. It was probably always going to be something weird with Steve," Lyons said. "I mean, a crocodile or a shark, he was so good with animals, nothing was going to get him. We thought he was going to live forever, but it would always be a crazy, silly accident, and as it turns out that's exactly what it was."
Irwin and Lyons were filming the animal off the coast of Australia, attempting to get a last shot of the stingray swimming away when the attack occurred.
"All of a sudden it propped on its front and started stabbing wildly with its tail, hundreds of strikes in a few seconds," Lyons said. "It probably thought that Steve's shadow was a tiger shark, which feeds on them very regularly ... I panned with the camera as the stingray swam away, I didn't even know it had caused any damage. It wasn't until I panned the camera back, that Steve was standing in a huge pool of blood, that I realized something had gone wrong."
According to Us Weekly, Lyons denied reports that the stingray's barb came out during the attack. "It didn't come out. Steve didn't pull it out," he said. "It's a jagged, sharp barb and it went through his chest like a hot knife through butter."
The cameraman said the 44-year-old Irwin was in "extraordinary pain."
"They've got venom on their barb, so, I'm sure, it was excruciatingly painful. He had an extraordinary threshold for pain, so I knew that when he was in pain it must have been painful," Lyons said. "He obviously didn't know that it had punctured his heart, but he knew it had punctured his lung -- he was having trouble breathing. Even if we'd been able to get him into an emergency ward at that moment, we probably wouldn't have been able to save him, because the damage to his heart was massive."
Lyons said he performed CPR on Irwin for "over an hour," but medics pronounced him dead "within 10 seconds of looking at him."
"I was saying to him things like, 'Think of your kids, Steve, hang on, hang on, hang on,'" Lyons said. "And he just sort of calmly looked up at me and said, 'I'm dying,' and that was the last thing he said."
Irwin is survived by wife Terri Irwin and kids Bindi, now 15, and Robert, 10. Bindi is taking some heat from animal activists for working with SeaWorld on its Generations Nature initiative while the park still keeps captive orcas.

She died one month later from heart failure in a Brazilian hospital where she had sought treatment on Sept. 26 for an unknown illness she had developed two weeks after giving birth to son, Keith. Her death came less than 48 hours after a doctor failed to notice her white blood cell count was dangerously low and sent her home with prescriptions for medicine to treat stomach bacteria, according to the family.
Now, her family's seeking answers and trying to raise money to help her husband, Ronaldo, left to care for four children under the age of 7, who still don't know their mother is dead. The hospital where she died has reportedly denied any failure of care. The cause of her swift decline is still unknown.
Amber's distraught husband has hired attorneys to expedite an autopsy based on tissue samples taken before Amber died. And on Thursday, he placed his wife's body on a plane back to the Bay Area. His children will follow as early as Monday.
"If it wasn't for my children, I wish I had died," said Ronaldo, a native of Brazil who met Amber when the two worked at North Beach Pizza in downtown San Mateo. "The pain is so much. It's so horrible."
The couple arrived in Goiânia, a city in the central Brazilian state of Goiás, in April to attend Ronaldo's sister Jacqueline's wedding in July. Against her mother's wishes, Amber decided to stay a few months in Brazil with Ronaldo's family and give birth there.
"I want you to pinch me to wake me up and make it go away," said Amber's mother, Joyce Hart, who worked at the San Mateo County Times from 1981 to 1996. "It's an absolute nightmare. I was afraid she would die down there and she did."
Everything was fine until two weeks after Keith's birth, when Amber got an infection in her breast. She was treated, but other symptoms developed: headaches; stomach, throat and back pain; and a fever that reached 106 degrees.
On Sept. 26 Amber returned to the hospital, where the doctor who had delivered Keith ordered a battery of blood tests, one of which showed Amber's white blood cell count had dropped to 476, Ronaldo said. A normal range is upward of 4,000. But the doctor missed this crucial piece of information, he said, and diagnosed her with a routine stomach infection. She prescribed four medications, including one that can lower white blood cell levels.
Amber fell ill again the next day and had to go to a second hospital, where another doctor missed the white blood cell results, Ronaldo said. By the time a third doctor registered the problem Friday morning, her count had dropped to 100. It was the first Ronaldo had heard of it -- his wife was dead within hours.
Ronaldo said the third doctor told him Amber's body had been ravaged by infection, possibly stemming from her C-section. Others physicians speculated she had leukemia.
"I really want to know the truth," said Ronaldo, who claims doctors at both hospitals were negligent for missing the threat to Amber's life.
Attempts to reach the hospitals by this newspaper were unsuccessful. The team at the Centro de Atendimento Integral à Saúde, the Goiânia hospital where Camargo died, responded to local media coverage by saying that there was no failure in her treatment.
Ronaldo is coming to grips with the fact that Amber, so full of energy and life, is gone. He is summoning the strength to tell his two oldest children -- Jasmine Leigh, 6, and Michael Brian, 4 -- that their mother won't be coming back from the hospital.
"I don't even know how to start," he said. "It's so heartbreaking."
On top of his grief, Ronaldo has medical, funeral and other mounting bills to pay. He's been out of work since undergoing an operation on his corneas in 2010. Anyone who wants to help the Camargos financially can contact Joyce Hart at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Amber Hart was born at the old Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame and graduated from Peninsula High School in San Bruno. She and Ronaldo married in 2005 and moved to Sacramento in 2010.
"She was the greatest woman there is," he said. "If you met her, there was no way you could not like her."

Oklahoma Tornado: Long Minutes of Desperation Inside School Razed by Storm
MOORE, Okla.—When the tornado-warning sirens blared, Kelly Law was already in the hallway of Plaza Towers Elementary School, huddled against the wall, shielding as many students as she could with her body.
Another eight or 10 teachers did the same, she said. For the long minutes it took the tornado to pass, she shut her eyes and prayed. The roof was ripped away. "It sounded like rivets being pulled out by a monster," Ms. Law said.
The beige, tile-covered wall was the only piece left standing at her end of the school. The twister left the children, ages 4 to 8, caked in mud, with gashes from flying wood and glass. Some cried. Others whimpered.
But they formed a line, Ms. Law said, climbed through the rubble and started walking.
"They were very, very brave," the 57-year-old teacher's assistant said. "They were just marched out of there like we were lining them up in the hallway, like we were going to class."
At least 24 people, including nine children, were killed and more than 230 injured in the twister Monday that tore through Moore and nearby Oklahoma City, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Emergency Management said Tuesday, reducing an earlier estimate of fatalities.
Video Coverage
Seven children died at the Plaza Towers school, which was destroyed, Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said.
Ja'Nae Hornsby, 9 years old, was one of them, her family said. The girl's father, Joshua, said he had dashed to the school Monday and found "a pile of rubble."
An overnight search yielded nothing. Mr. Hornsby learned Tuesday morning the body of the third-grade girl had been pulled from the wreckage. He believed she was in the school gym when the tornado struck.
"There's no way to explain," Mr. Hornsby said at a local church Tuesday, surrounded by family members who watched cellphone videos of a smiling Ja'Nae, twirling and dancing.
Before the storm hit, the staff at Plaza Towers began mobilizing early on Monday. Some students had already been picked up by parents worried about severe weather.
Ms. Law said she rounded up the special-education students she usually works with and took them to their designated shelter place: a hallway in the part of the school where the lower grades are located.
When she arrived, other children were filing into the hall, she said, "just like our regular tornado drill. I'm sure the kids were thinking that's what it was."
Teachers instructed the students to sit on the floor facing the wall and tuck their heads. Dozens of children lined the hallway wall, Ms. Law said. Some parents who had planned to pick up their children also took cover there. Tornado sirens began sounding, and then it started.
A Twisting History: Tornadoes in the U.S.
A federal registry of tornadoes in the U.S. shows how the wind storms have scraped the Midwest since 1950.
"It seemed like the tornado kept coming," Ms. Law said. "It was like it would never go away."
When the tornado finally passed, Ms. Law found herself in a nearby closet, but the children were still huddled. Some had blood running down their heads but, she said, there wasn't time to check them. There was the smell of leaking gas.
"We need to get out and we need to get out now," a teacher told the children. Ms. Law and other adults helped the children up to begin crossing an obstacle course of glass shards and toppled metal beams.
A nearby classroom had collapsed, leaving a 2½-foot mound of debris that blocked their escape. One by one, the teachers lifted up the students and handed them to a man who showed up to help.
As the survivors congregated in the school parking lot, adults began assessing injuries of the children. Everyone was wet, Ms. Law said, and many had lost their shoes. A little boy who had been hit in the head was shivering, said Ms. Law. An older girl took off her coat and offered it to him.
"It's like you're in a war zone," she said. "You know what happened, and it doesn't seem real."
The Plaza Towers school, which was built in 1966, wasn't required by law to have an underground shelter, the best protection against such a powerful tornado, officials said. Another school in Moore, Briarwood Elementary, was also damaged but reported no fatalities.
Oklahoma state law also doesn't require schools to have fortified aboveground rooms, which can be built with reinforced concrete to withstand tornado winds, said Kevin Kloesel, director of the Oklahoma Climatological Survey, which offers statewide training in emergency management. But tornado-prone stretches of the U.S., which include North Texas and Kansas, should consider requiring the so-called safe rooms at new schools, he said.
Local officials said Tuesday that about 100 schools in the state are equipped with safe rooms that were built with federal funds. The money had dried up in past years, officials said, and many schools were on a waiting list.
Some newer schools in Moore have safe rooms, including Kelly Elementary School, which was rebuilt after it was flattened by a deadly 1999 tornado. That year, the storm hit outside of school hours.
Oklahoma State Superintendent Janet Barresi "is very interested in discussing the need for safe rooms in schools once we get past this disaster," said Sherry Fair, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
At the Plaza Towers school, teachers and students relied on safety drills practiced many times.
Susan Pierce, superintendent for Moore Public Schools, said Tuesday the 23,000-student district carried out its emergency plan, monitoring the weather Monday. "When it was time to shelter, we did just that."
Joann Childers, 42 years old, said she was one of the first to reach Plaza Towers. She had ridden out the twister in the basement of her landlord's office nearby. She emerged minutes later, she said, and saw that the school—and the neighborhood—had been leveled.
"My instincts kicked in," the retired marine said. "I was in Desert Storm and that was a cakewalk compared with" the scene at the elementary school.
By Tuesday afternoon, the rescue had shifted to a cleanup operation. A backhoe pawed at the pile of steel beams, siding, insulation and splintered planks while men worked with blowtorches.

At the first of the year, dock permit applications on the Lake of the Ozarks will require a permit from participating governmental agencies in advance showing that the dock has passed an electrical inspection.
Ameren Missouri will be requiring proof of the fire district permit in advance of issuing a dock permit rather than requiring it is a condition of approval.
New docks, relocated docks and modified docks within six participating fire districts and one village all fall under this requirement.
Property owners outside of participating zones must submit documentation from a qualified electrician documenting compliance with electrical installation standards.
Ameren also encourages all owners of new and existing docks to continue to have docks inspected on a regular basis once receiving a permit.
"Electrical systems on docks must be periodically inspected to ensure that docks at the lake are safe," said Ameren's Shoreline Management Supervisor Jeff Green.
Inspection of grounding systems, bonding connections and testing GFCI circuits should be conducted on a regular basis, he said.
Docks found to be unsafe should be de-energized immediately and fire district personnel or a qualified electrician contacted.
For additional information on dock electrical systems contact your local fire district or go to amerenmissouri.com/lake.

ALAMEDA -- Ronde Barber of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is following a familiar trail blazed by such luminaries as Ronnie Lott, Rod Woodson and Albert Lewis in going from cornerback to safety.
Charles Woodson of the Green Bay Packers made the same move this year.
The Raiders' Michael Huff is going in the opposite direction, a safety for six years who was asked in Week 3 to be a cornerback.
Barber concedes Huff has the more difficult task.
"That's not a transition you see very often," Barber told reporters by conference call. "Actually, I can't think of anyone that's done it."
Barber and Huff will have pivotal roles in their new positions when the Raiders host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
One of the NFL's most decorated players, Barber played cornerback for 15 years and contemplated retirement before new Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano persuaded him to continue as a free safety.
He terms his transition "seamless," and he has three interceptions to prove it, including the eighth return for a touchdown in his career, a 78-yarder against Kansas City. Barber has also returned four fumbles in his career for touchdowns.
"I looked up his age today, and he's 37 years old," Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer said. "But he absolutely flashes on film. He makes plays, he's great in coverage. He'll come up and tackle Adrian Peterson. He's everywhere."
In the same way Palmer was challenged by a new offensive system, Barber found himself energized by learning a system other than the familiar Tampa 2 zone defense as well as playing a new position.
He said the playbook looked as if it were in a foreign language, and Barber had to study as he hadn't in years. In terms of opposing offenses, there isn't much the Raiders can concoct that Barber hasn't seen.
"I think if you've played as long as I have, if you haven't seen it all, you're just not paying attention," Barber said. "I've seen just about anything offenses can throw at me."
In contrast to Barber's smooth switch, Huff found himself beaten repeatedly against Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger and Denver's Peyton Manning. In retrospect, Huff said he can see where it was of some benefit, even if it was hard at the time.
He was moved to cornerback by coach Dennis Allen because the Raiders were missing both starters, with Ron Bartell sidelined by a broken shoulder blade in Week 1 and Shawntae Spencer by a foot injury in Week 2.
"I believe in D.A. and that they would put me in position to be the best corner I could be if I was out there," Huff said. "I just want to do whatever is best for this defense."
After the rough outings against Pittsburgh and Denver, Huff played much better against Atlanta after the bye week. And in the Raiders' past two wins, he has been in coverage for 84 pass plays and has given up one catch for 2 yards.
"I don't think Willie Brown has anything to worry about yet," Allen said, referring to the Raiders' Hall of Fame cornerback. "But he has improved. That's what we expect and will continue to expect every day he has an opportunity to go out and work. He'll get a little bit better every week."
Bartell, who said Huff has been asking questions and aggressively taking to his new position, joked, "I think he's a hell of a lot better corner than he is a safety. He takes pride in it. It's backwards for him, and he's been serious about it."
With Bartell returning as soon as Nov. 11, Allen isn't sure whether Huff will remain a corner or move back to safety.
"It doesn't matter," Huff said. "It's just a name. I want to be out there making plays."

TRUCKEE, Calif. - South Tahoe is accustomed to overpowering its Mount Rose League volleyball opponents. But the Wolverines are a different kind of animal.
The three-time defending state champs took advantage of the Vikings' self-inflicted mistakes while employing their own powerful offensive attack to earn a win in straight sets, 25-17, 25-11, 25-21, to end the regular season Friday night.
"I think tonight we really came together as a team," said Truckee senior Chelsea Mohun, who finished with 14 digs. "South Tahoe is awesome. They really picked it up. They have a good defense and good hitters. But we played well as a team tonight. You could see it on offense and defense."
South Tahoe head coach Dan McLaughlin was disappointed with his team's miscues, as well as the lopsided margin of victory. The teams played a closer match at South Tahoe on Oct. 16, with Truckee winning in four, 22-25, 25-21, 25-23, 25-13.
"The match was closer than the score showed. I know Truckee is going to think they are all that, but we just didn't serve well," McLaughlin said. "If we serve well, we're still playing right now."
But they didn't. The Vikings missed 11 serves on the night while the Wolverines shone in that department. The visitors also committed a number of unforced errors outside of their serving game. And Truckee took full advantage.
"The whole game came down to us not being able to attack them because we couldn't pass the ball in to our setter spots," McLaughlin said. "We missed too many serves, which meant we were serving safe, which then allowed them to attack us."
Attack they did, led by the powerful right arm of junior outside hitter Mackenzie Redner, who tallied 20 of the Wolverines' 37 kills in the match.
South Tahoe's big hitters, meanwhile, Drew Norberg and Morgan Kauffer, never hit their full stride. McLaughlin credited Truckee's defense.
"They played some fantastic defense. That's the best defensive team I've seen from Truckee in a long time," he said.
Each of the three games was close at the start before Truckee pulled away. The first set featured five ties and two lead changes in the early going. The Wolverines took over the lead for good at 6-5, however, then extended it to 10-5 with a 6-0 run behind the serving of Lauren Peak.
The Vikings hit several serves into the net or long as Truckee closed out the set with four straight points behind Redner's serve. Peak tapped a ball over the South Tahoe block and into a pocket of open space for the final point.
"South Tahoe always brings a good match. We watched video last week and the girls did a good job finding some of their tendencies," said Truckee head coach Erika Murphy, keeping those tendencies to herself.
Game 2 went back and forth early, with four ties and a couple of lead changes before the Wolverines took over at 5-4 and never looked back, led by serving runs from Redner, Kestlie Stefanelli and Becca Berelson - and aided by more unforced South Tahoe errors.
A kill attempt by Norberg, one of the most powerful hitters in the state along with Redner, went long on the final point to give Truckee the 25-11 win.
The third set remained tight throughout. The teams were knotted in six ties while swapping leads on five occasions, the last of which when Truckee took over at 18-17.
The small but vocal Truckee student section, which was engaged in a rooting battle against South Tahoe's JV team across the court, got the last word as it began a chant of "It's all over" once the Wolverines took a 23-18 lead. But the Vikings scrapped back, bringing the score to 23-20, then 24-21, before Redner smashed a kill to the floor for game point.
"Our passing was much better tonight, and our serving was consistent," said Murphy, who was pleased with her team's performance in its final match before playoffs. "The girls are super excited and amped up for zones and state. They're gearing it up."
Peak was named Player of the Match for the Wolverines, finishing with seven kills and 14 digs, while Berelson had nine service points and two aces, Stefanelli had 12 digs, and Gabby Moretti had 32 assists and a block.
For the Vikings, Norberg led the way with 10 kills, Morgan Kaufer had seven kills, and Raquel Marchesseault had 23 assists and two aces. Norberg and Emily Gardner each had one block.

Respect community planning
Published: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 6:42 p.m.
Henderson County commissioners did the right thing in tabling a rezoning request to allow a Dollar General store to be built at the corner of U.S. 64 and Banner Farm Road. If community planning efforts are to be respected, commissioners should deny the request.
The board voted unanimously Monday to table further action until the developer furnishes a traffic study, and to give commissioners time to study site plans more closely.
The Broadway Group, an Alabama-based commercial development company that represents Dollar General, wants the county to change the zoning of 1.71 acres next to Horse Shoe Baptist Church from rural residential to community commercial conditional. The 9,100-square-foot store would employ 10-12 people, said Melissa Ballard, due diligence coordinator for the developers.
Residents and leaders of Horse Shoe Baptist Church say a proposed driveway entrance on U.S. 64 just west of Banner Farm would pose traffic hazards. Church leaders also oppose the rezoning because of the potential for beer and wine sales, and concerns that break-ins might increase, said Marvin Metcalf, a church deacon.
Commissioner Tommy Thompson said he was not willing to vote on the request until he sees an engineering study looking at traffic volumes and timing, and whether a traffic signal would need to be moved and turn lanes installed.
The larger issue concerns the integrity of the countys process for community-based planning. Residents have made it clear in the 2009 Etowah-Horse Shoe Community Plan, and at other times when rezoning has been proposed, that they want to retain the areas rural, residential character.
If someone wants to put a store in, put it inside an existing area thats already zoned business, said Fred Diehn, who lives near the intersection. Theres plenty of vacant land.
Commissioner Grady Hawkins noted Etowah and Horse Shoe residents spent a lot of time and effort coming up with a long-range plan. The ink is barely dry on this 2010 update and we want to change it again, he said. I just cant support that with what were looking at.
The developers have so far been unable to find other parcels in the area that are for sale and fit their budget, Ballard said. They should keep looking. The store and the jobs it would provide would be a welcome addition to the community, but it should go in a spot already zoned for commercial use.
The Henderson County Sheriffs Office is providing a public service with its Medication/Pill Drop Program, which starts April 13. Families often wonder what to do with unused medications when a loved one passes away. The drop box, located at the Sheriffs Office at 100 N. King St., will provide a simple, secure, environmentally safe solution for people to dispose of unused prescription drugs (with the exception of needles and chemotherapy drugs, which wont be accepted). The box will be located in the front lobby of the Sheriffs Office, which is open to the public 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

GoIslanders.com caught up with Islanders Associate Women's Basketball Coach Roxanne White off the court with a Q&A:
GI: What does it mean to be a part of the Islanders women's basketball family?
RW: Well I think first of all I get to have an opportunity to come back to Texas. It's been a great recruiting base in the past. I feel a little closer to home to Louisiana. Just the atmosphere and the feel of the Island, it's a wonderful place. It will be an opportunity for great players to have great careers here at Texas A&M - Corpus Christi.
GI: What are you most looking forward to this season?
RW: Winning. I think every coach, that's what you envision when you take over a program. I guess it's just the opportunity to be successful to put yourself in that situation.
GI: What is one word to describe yourself?
RW: Intense … I think I'm fun off the court and on the court I'm a little bit intense. On the court I make sure that we are getting something done and off the court in the office area I like to have fun.
GI: Growing up who was your sports idol?
RW: I was a big Dallas Cowboys fan so there was numerous people that I really enjoyed watching. I like all sports. I love football and I love basketball. I'm really excited about the Olympics this summer. Just to watch the world's best compete. You don't get to do that very often.
GI: Favorite arena/place to coach in?
RW: Home. Whatever your home court is, you have the home court advantage. That's always my favorite part. The ABC and the Dugan. Those are obviously my favorite places.
GI: What is your favorite quote?
RW: "You produce! You play!"
GI: What is your favorite sport to watch other than basketball?
RW: I love football. I'm a big LSU Tiger fan. That's probably not popular in the state of Texas but they have a lot of teams to choose from. But in Lousiana, you have one select few when it comes to football. Go Tigers!
GI: Biggest sports icon or celebrity you have ever met?
RW: I don't know … maybe Royce Chadwick. For those of you that don't know him … (laughs) … I don't really think about it that way. Anybody that plays a sport has to put so much into it and some people are just born naturally gifted, a God given gift, so those people make their way with that.
GI: Favorite place to eat on the road while recruiting?
RW: Any place that has Cajun food. I'm good with that. Maybe a Pappadeaux, so other people can have steaks. If it's Cajun food or seafood I'm with it and actually I like all foods.
GI: What is one random fact about you that most people don't know?
RW: I'm the youngest of six children, that's why I'm spoiled (laughs). That's it!

The love-hate relationship Ernie Els has with the Match Play Championship is taking a major turn for the better.
Els made a birdie from the desert on the par-5 eighth hole to take the lead for good Saturday against 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, winning 4 and 2 to reach the semifinals in this fickle tournament for the first time in 13 years.
It was the first time all week that Els made more birdies than bogeys during an 18-hole match, yet he somehow has survived.
"At times I haven't played my best, as you guys have well-documented," Els said with a laugh. "But it's match play. I've just done enough to get through."
Els long held a reputation as a wizard in match play, having captured the World Match Play Championship seven times when it was at Wentworth and featured smaller fields and 36-hole matches.
This version hasn't been kind to him. He reached the semifinals in 2001, only to lose to Pierre Fulke. Els didn't imagine it would take this long to get back.
"I really had a love-hate relationship with this event," he said. "Most of the time, I lost in the first round here either on the 18th or 19th hole."
Graeme McDowell was the only other player with greater fortune on his side, but that ended Saturday at Dove Mountain (Ariz.).
McDowell had reached the quarterfinals even though he never led a single hole while any of his three matches were in progress. Just his luck, he finally took a lead and wound up losing to Victor Dubuisson.
They were all square when Dubuisson hit a beautiful chip from the rough behind the 16th green and saved par, while McDowell missed a 6-foot par putt.
After matching pars on the 17th, Dubuisson's shot into the 18th green rolled off the false front. He chipped perfectly and was conceded his par, and McDowell missed his 25-foot birdie putt.
Els plays Dubuisson in Sunday morning's semifinals. The finals will follow.
Jason Day reached the semifinals for the second straight year with a 2-and-1 win over Louis Oosthuizen, who played with a nagging back injury.
Also, Rickie Fowler lost a 3-up lead to Jim Furyk, only to win the last two holes for a 1-up win.
LPGA: Anna Nordqvist shot a 5-under 67 at the LPGA Thailand for a four-stroke lead over Michelle Wie (69) and Inbee Park (67) at the Siam Country Club. "Didn't really take advantage of the par 5s, but I can't really complain," Wie said. Nordqvist, at 11-under 205, had an eagle on 10.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Online Counseling
Welcome to SAP Online Counseling, WKU's online SAP warning/probation counseling session. This session is for those students that have been placed on warning/probation with the Department of Student Financial Assistance. Typically, students are placed on warning/probation for financial aid purposes if they do not meet the minimum SAP Policy requirements or if they are admitted to the University on a warning/probationary status.
The complete Satisfactory Academic Policy (SAP) is available for your review at http://www.wku.edu/financialaid/sapall.php .
Students placed on warning/probation with the Department of Student Financial Assistance must complete this counseling session before any assistance for the warning/probationary period will be awarded. Please read the text below and answer the questions accurately at the end of the text. Once complete, hit the Submit button. If you answered the questions correctly, your counseling session will be submitted automatically to the Department of Student Financial Assistance. If the questions are not answered accurately, then you will be required to re-answer the questions correctly before the record will be submitted.
Summary of SAP Policy
Federal and state regulations require that students receiving assistance from financial
aid programs must be monitored for Satisfactory Academic Progress. Satisfactory Academic
Progress (SAP) includes qualitative progress (grade-point average) and quantitative
progress (hours earned) toward degree completion. SAP is monitored at the end of each
term for all students.
Monitoring is required for students who receive aid from any of the following programs:
- Federal Pell Grants
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
- Federal and Institutional Work-Study
- Federal Perkins Loans
- Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans
- Federal PLUS Loans
- KHEAA College Access Program (CAP)
In order to maintain eligibility beyond the semester of warning/probation the following requirements must be met:
- Satisfactory Academic Achievement (GPA): You must earn a minimum of 2.0 (3.0 for graduate students) GPA for the semester.
- Satisfactory Academic Progress (Hours Earned): You must earn 100% of the credit hours for which you were awarded financial aid for the semester. (Ex: if you receive aid for 6 hours, you must earn 6 hours or if you receive aid for 9 hours, you must earn 9 hours).
- Academic Plan: Must adhere to the established Academic Plan
Students that withdraw from a course after receiving financial assistance may jeopardize
their eligibility for future terms. It is recommended than any student on warning/probation
check with the Department of Student Financial Assistance before dropping or auditing
any course to determine if the change in enrollment could affect future eligibility.
Also remember that audits, incompletes, and grades of "W" or "F" do not count as hours
earned. In addition, a student on warning/probation must complete all courses listed
as Incompletes (X) or In Progress (IP) for that semester before credit can be included
in the number of hours earned for that term.
Students that fail all courses during a term in which financial aid was received may be required to return a portion of the funds. In addition, such students are denied eligibility for the next term unless an appeal is approved by the Department of Student Financial Assistance.
There are consequences when a student does not meet the terms of the warning/probation status. In the event a student is eligible to appeal, please note they are limited to 2 appeals per academic career (i.u. Undergraduate, Graduate). You will need to read the SAP Policy in its entirety at http://www.wku.edu/financialaid/sapall.htm .

GRUPPO DI IMPROVISAZIONE NUOVA CONSONANZA: Musica Su Schemi
Something deep connects this 60's Italian project with the British AMM. The cast reads well: Franco Evangelisti (pno,percs), Giancaro Schiaffini (tb &c), Ennio Morricone (tpt. Fl, &c), Giovanni Piazza (horn, fl, vln), Egisto Macchi (percs, strings) and Antonello Neri (pno &c) and the music is open, sonically wide and engaging, abstract and full of surprises. Altogether a fine - and historical - release (actually re-release, the original came out of the great Cramps label in 1976). Nicely packaged.

The Petit Palais opened its doors to photography and the contemporary image in 1998, and this autumn will be offering an exhibition on women in India and the evolution of their social status. Organised at the instigation of BNP Paribas, the event is being presented with the support of Reporters without borders.
Entitled Women changing India, the exhibition shows 108 images by six Magnum Photos photographers – Olivia Arthur, Martine Franck, Raghu Rai, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Alex Webb and Patrick Zachmann – each of whom has chosen a different subject. These six reportages have a common denominator: each offers a view of the way women are helping to "change the world" and of how, gradually, India is evolving and granting women a more significant role.
With the backing of BNP Paribas

It would be awesome if PMS would have a system like MPC-HC were you could search for subtitles for whatever you are watching. In MPC-HC, choosing what file you want from the list is manual, but PMS could have some type of language priority list and it would automatically download the subtitle for that language when you start a video.
Obviously this wouldn't work every time, it could get one that is out of sync but from my MPC-HC experience that rarely happens, it searches for the subtitles in OpenSubtitles using the file name of the video and 99% of the time you have the exact one you want in the list... but in case this happens you could choose another one manually.

Children's Health
Study: Constipation May Cause Bed-wetting
Jan. 30, 2012 -- A surprising new study suggests that for many children who wet the bed, the cause may start with their bowels and not their bladders.
Undiagnosed constipation appeared to be a frequent contributor to bed-wetting among the children who took part in the research.
When these children were treated with laxatives or enemas, most stopped wetting the bed within a few months.
"Most of these kids did not have symptoms consistent with constipation and the parents had no clue," says researcher Steve J. Hodges, MD, an assistant professor of urology at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C. "What these children had was stool in their rectums, and that is the problem we addressed in this study."
Bed-wetting and the Bowels
Hodges says stool left in the lower intestine, or rectum, can push against the bladder and reduce its capacity to hold urine.
He says even though it has been known for more than two decades that this might be a cause of bed-wetting, few doctors consider this when evaluating children with the condition.
Since normal constipation symptoms, such as infrequent or very hard stools, do not always predict whether a child will have stool in the rectum, Hodges and diagnostic radiologist Evelyn Anthony, MD, conducted abdominal X-rays to confirm it.
Their study included 30 children ranging in age from 5 to 15 (the average age was 9) being evaluated for bed-wetting at the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
X-rays revealed that all of the children had some degree of rectal expansion caused by stool. Four out of five demonstrated stool burden consistent with constipation, despite the fact that just 1 in 10 had a history of constipation symptoms.
When the children received laxatives or enemas to treat the issue, 25 of the 30 (83%) were no longer wetting the bed within three months.
The study appears online in the journal Urology.
Hodges says he has used the approach to successfully treat close to 200 cases of bed-wetting and urinary reflux -- a condition characterized by abnormal flow of urine from the bladder back toward the kidneys.
"I haven't had to operate on a child for reflux in a very long time because when we empty their rectums the reflux resolves," he tells WebMD.
