It was a tough end to the regular season Thursday night for Oak Ridge High School (7-3 overall, 6-2 District 3-AAA) as the Wildcats lost 19-6 to Anderson County (9-1, 7-1) at home on Blankenship Field.
Because the game was a "Rivalry Thursday" matchup being televised on MyVLT2, Oak Ridge was playing not only a day early but kickoff was at 7 p.m. vs. 7:30 p.m.
Visiting Anderson County scored first on an impressive second-effort play, as a Maverick player appeared to be going down but some how managed to regain his balance for the touchdown with 7:21 remaining in the first quarter.
Trailing 7-0, Oak Ridge answered with a 21-yard TD pass but the extra point attempt was blocked and the 'Cats had to settle for 6 late in Q1. It would be the last time the host team would score for the rest of the night, as the rain and the wind and the cold grew progressively worse from the middle of the second quarter on.
With 5:02 remaining in the second quarter, Anderson County added 6 more points to its tally on a 9-yard carry but the Mavs missed their extra point, too, making it a 13-6 ball game at the half.
As the final seconds were ticking in the third quarter, a sack by Wildcat seniors Tim Grabenstein and Stephen May put Anderson County way, way, way back in its own territory facing an unenviable third-and-22 situation. However, following an ill-timed 5-yard penalty against Oak Ridge, the Mavericks found some running room down the right sideline and scored the final points of the game on a 92-yard play.
"This one stings," Oak Ridge coach Joe Gaddis said after the game. "But we've got to be ready for Round One of the playoffs — whoever that may be and wherever that may be.
"Whatever plays were made tonight, (Anderson County) made them. But we've got to get ready for the next one.
"All is not lost."

When Shopper Marketing Backfires
The IdeaChoose shopper marketing tools with care — some can backfire.
The Research
Retailers increasingly use a variety of shopper marketing tools — from sale signs and special promotions to more subtle environmental cues such as sounds and scents — in an effort to increase sales. The tools are often costly, and it's not clear that they always work as intended. While the economy continues its sluggish recovery, firms regularly try to optimize their spending to maximize sales.
Professor Leonard Lee, working with Ziv Carmon of INSEAD, Ravi Dhar of Yale, and Ayelet Fishbach of University of Chicago, took a closer look at the efficacy of shopper marketing tools. The researchers conducted lab and field experiments designed to measure shopper behavior and learn about the psychological impact of shopper marketing tools. They find that pushing these tools can actually induce an effect they call the ironic prudent spending effect, in which shoppers perceive the promotions as reminders to not spend too much rather than as prompts to spend more.
Practical Applications
Marketing Managers, Retailers
You can use this research to fine-tune which marketing tools you direct toward retail consumers, better allocate your marketing budget, and determine whether to link specific types of products to such promotions. The research suggests that customers exposed to shopper marketing tools shift their perception so that hedonic products become less tempting to purchase; utilitarian products may not suffer the same effect.
In experiments carried out at convenience stores and small markets, shoppers presented with a basket or flyer bought fewer hedonic products, such as snacks or sweet drinks, and instead concentrated their shopping on utilitarian items, such as cleaning products and batteries. These shoppers also spent less money than they otherwise would have had they not been given a basket or flyer. Further, researchers found that shoppers who perceived themselves as impulsive were most sensitive to the shopper tools and viewed the tools as warnings or reminders not to overspend rather than invitations to purchase more. (View chart, GIF, 888 KB).
In lab experiments, the researchers found that participants who were exposed to the mere idea of shopping at the start of the experiment rated hedonic products as less tempting, and the goal of prudent spending as more important, than participants who had not been primed to think about shopping in advance.

2. Music in the night
I slipped a leather coat over fluffy pink pajamas and hurried to the courtyard to see what was going on. I found two girls leaning over the balcony. One, the singer, had an absolutely marvelous voice. Sure, she paused every now and then to chastise herself for to-me-inaudible faults, but her voice was so well-rounded and resonant... Wow. The other, her friend, occasionally broke in with encouragement and reminders. What an amazing pair!
I applauded and asked if I could keep listening. They didn't mind. Turns out they're not residents of Grad House, but they like the acoustics. Cool!
At the prompting of her friend, the singer launched into Ave Maria. She then segued into Don't Cry for Me Argentina and another song I couldn't recognize. Then a residence adviser poked her head out and said it was all very nice but it was a bit loud. I suppose 11:30 PM is not the best time for opera, but still...
I forgot to ask her name. Now I won't get to tell you, "I heard her before she was famous."
What a wonderful treat! =D

It's a lot more palatable than dinuguan or balut, for sure.

Dr. William Beanes was an elderly doctor who had been captured by the British when they invaded Washington, D.C., during the War of 1812. On September 7, 1814, Francis Scott Key visited the British fleet in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay and was able to have them set Dr. Beanes free—but not until after they finished bombarding Fort McHenry, Baltimore's main defense.
The attack had gone on for 25 hours by the morning of September 14, 1814. When Key peered through the clearing smoke at the fort, he saw a 42-by-30-foot American flag flying proudly over it.
He was so inspired by the sight of the enormous flag that he wrote a poem about it, which he named "The Defence of Fort McHenry." Within a month, the words had been published in papers all along the eastern seaboard, with Key's note that they should be sung to the tune of a popular British melody, "To Anacreon in Heaven."
After 100 years, the anthem was still popular and was by then known as "The Star-Spangled Banner." In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson ordered that the anthem be played at military and naval ceremonies. In 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a resolution that officially designated "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the national anthem of the United States.
The Star-Spangled Banner coins commemorate the 200th anniversary (bicentennial) of the writing of our national anthem. Their designs symbolize the War of 1812, particularly the Battle of Baltimore, the basis for the anthem's lyrics. The theme on the front (obverse) of the gold $5 coin is "The Battles at Sea During the War of 1812." It depicts a naval battle from the War of 1812, with an American sailing ship in the foreground and a damaged and fleeing British ship in the background.
The theme on the reverse (tails) is "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the song). It features the first words of the anthem, "O say can you see," in Francis Scott Key's handwriting, over a flag with 15 stars and 15 stripes, as on the flag at the time the words were written.
In the design on the front of the silver dollar, Lady Liberty waves the 15-star/15-stripe flag in front of Fort McHenry. The theme of the design is "The Battle of Baltimore at Fort McHenry."
On the back, the theme is "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the flag). This side of the coin is filled with a close-up view of a waving modern American flag.
On June 14, 1775, 10 companies of light infantry (soldiers who fight on foot) were formed. The Infantry played and continues to play the major role in gaining and protecting freedom for us and our allies. That first infantry has developed into the current U.S. Armed Forces.
The Infantry has seven values, which are the same as the U.S. Army's seven values: honor, integrity, duty, selfless service, personal courage, loyalty, and respect. Although the infantry is only one branch of the Army, its members have earned more than half of all the Medals of Honor awarded and have suffered three-quarters of the casualties.
Fifteen U.S. Presidents, including Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and Dwight D.Eisenhower, served in the Infantry and saw combat action. Infantrymen fight in all kinds of weather, among all cultures, and over every kind of terrain.
The coin's designs symbolize the Infantry's courage, pride, sacrifice, history, and sense of duty. The silver dollar's obverse features a modern Infantry soldier on rocky ground charging forward and beckoning troops to follow. This image captures the essence of the Infantry's motto, "Follow Me."
Featured on the reverse is the crossed rifles insignia, the branch insignia of the Infantry. Since all members of the Infantry wear this insignia, it is known everywhere.

Weather Journal: A Little Snow for Valentine's Day
By Brian Kahn
The Gulf of Mexico is sending an express Valentine's Day present to Greater New York – a storm pushing up from the region and bringing snow Wednesday night and through early Thursday morning.
However, the gift might seem a little stingy. Precipitation will start as rain for most of the area and when it finally does shift to snow, accumulations will likely be meager. Snowfall totals are now a little lower than Wednesday's forecast, with one inch likely from Trenton to New York City and two to three inches in Long Island.
Suffolk and parts of Nassau counties have a winter weather advisory in place. This is primarily due to the possibility of snow banding over Long Island. However, the different models aren't in agreement on the likelihood of more intense snow. The U.S model is the most aggressive, showing heavier snow falling from 3 a.m. to 8 a.m. over eastern Long Island.
However, its European and Canadian counterparts show lower overall precipitation, which is why there are currently only advisories in place for a few areas. Conditions seem to favor less snow, but there's enough of a chance for the low to push over Long Island to warrant keeping the advisory in place.
A Model of (Improved) Efficiency
Speaking of models, Thursday marks a milestone for the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC). They launched a new version of their global weather model with major updates. The updates to the model's physics, time and spatial resolution and data assimilation are, in CMC's words, "improvements [that] are of an order of magnitude usually seen only once in a decade."
Just how improved is the model over its predecessor? CMC meteorologists put the model through objective tests for summer and winter months and found increased accuracy for all forecast lead times over most regions for both seasons. Subjective tests also indicate an improvement to precipitation patterns in most regions.
Some of the most notable improvements for the model were for North American winter weather, which should translate to better forecasts for Greater New York. These improvements should put it on par with the European and American models, meaning there's now a third model on the block with excellent global weather forecasting accuracy.
There was also a little note buried in the announcement that might tantalize New Yorkers. "The behavior of the [new model] GDPS-3.0.0 with Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall over the eastern United States on Oct. 30, 2012, was generally better or marginally better than that of the operational GDPS, especially at lead times longer than 48 hours." One event is a small sample size so Weather Journal isn't jumping to any conclusions. However, if more tests show that the new model does indeed offer improved hurricane track forecasting at longer lead times, it could be a major boon to meteorologists, emergency managers and the general public.
Weather Journal's Greater New York forecast roundup for Thursday:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan:
- Actual High: 46; High feels like: 40
- Actual Low: 38; Low feels like: 32
- Weather: Light snow overnight ending early morning then mostly sunny skies
- Brooklyn: 45/36
- Queens: 46/37
- Bronx: 45/35
- Staten Island: 45/34
- Poughkeepsie, N.Y.: 44/28
- Trenton, N.J.: 46/34
- Islip, Long Island: 43/33
- New Haven, Conn.: 42/29

I have been using PMS for almost 3 yrs now and this is the first time Ive encountered this playing MKV files. All other formats, video and audio work ok except for MKV.
All MKV files I play has video, background and effects sounds coming out perfectly but when the character speaks, no voice can be heard? Im using a Samsung 5.1 HT setup w/ DTS/DD5.1/AAC support connected to my ps3 via optical. Ive searched the net but cant find any solution and tried tweaking every setting but still wont work. Maybe there's something I've missed? Im using the PMS 1.31.0 beta version now.
Hope someone can shed light on this as i do not want to encode all of my mkv's just to watch it on ps3, i've never been used to encoding because of PMS eversince i got a PS3. Thanks!

Marek among wild card winners
Published: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 8:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 8:01 p.m.
SARASOTA — Tomas Marek once had a gun pointed at his head during a robbery in Bradenton, so the 22-year-old was not going to get unnerved by the amount of shots 49-year-old Erik Luxembourg returned during their first-round match in the Sarasota Open Wild Card Tournament at the Sarasota Bath and Racquet Club. Marek, a native of the Czech Republic and at one time one of the top junior players in the world, beat Luxembourg 6-2, 7-5 to advance to the second round of the three-day tournament. The Saint Stephen's graduate displayed a big serve and big forehand. And he hopes to be on the way to a big tennis comeback. "Hopefully I can win, get in the Sarasota Open and get a few (computer ranking) points," said Marek, who arrived in Sarasota three weeks ago from the Czech Republic. When he was 16, Marek was in a car when two males jumped in and forced him to drive. They later robbed him of cash. Marek was in little danger Friday, despite Luxembourg's ability to return some of his big shots. Other Friday winners included: Riverview's Michael Moore, Sarasota High's Spencer Arias and former Cardinal Mooney player Kevin Lyons. Arias is the son of former touring pro Jimmy Arias. Play resumes today at 9 a.m.

You know I'll be there but it depends on when the window guys are done at the house. They've already found some interesting things during demolition.
I'm hoping they will be done early afternoon but I'll call if they run into anymore snags. I'll call Odie and Bob to see if they can help.
If I get up there early enough, I'll get the garbage bags taken care of.

I'm harassing the shit out of my parents, I'm sure they voted R (always do). They are retiring soon and seem to be oblivious to the fact that their home is worth 50% of what they paid for it and their governor is bending them over for their retirement, and this is because the state of Michigan seems to be incapable of electing a non-piece-of-shit official.

Dying Ohio man on gurney leads daughter down aisle
Published: Monday, October 14, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 13, 2013 at 10:06 p.m.
CLEVELAND (AP) — A terminally ill Ohio man who arrived at his daughter's wedding by ambulance gave her away, from a hospital gurney.
Guests cried and clapped as Scott Nagy took part in daughter Sarah's wedding Saturday at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Strongsville, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland reported (http://bit.ly/15yJtXC).
A volunteer team of medical professionals helped Nagy escort the 24-year-old bride as groom Angelo Salvatore and the Rev. Chuck Knerem awaited their arrival.
"It was a promise I made in March, to walk her down the aisle," said the 56-year-old Brunswick man. "She's my princess. This is my definition of walking down the aisle."
Nagy was diagnosed last year with urethral cancer and has undergone chemotherapy. He has been at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center since August.
Doctors were uncertain if he would be able to make the wedding, initially scheduled for next year. But with monitor cords slipped under his tuxedo and a tracheal tube attached, he made the trip down the aisle, kissing a grandson who was the ringbearer and giving a thumb's up.
"There was no way he was not going to finish this out," said his wife Jean.
Jacky Uljanic, a nurse practitioner with the hospital, helped make the arrangements for Nagy to attend the wedding. She put him through daily therapy to build up his strength and she checked on the logistics in advance. Physicians Medical Transport donated the ambulance trip, and a doctor and other medical personnel accompanied Nagy on the ride.
Sarah said that since she was a little girl, she has wanted her father to escort her down the aisle when she married. She said her future husband assured her she would get her wish.
At the vestibule, she burst into tears and told her father she loved him.
"We did it," Nagy said to her and reminded her not to streak her makeup.

ANAHEIM -- The A's injury update Monday was mostly positive, with Scott Kazmir feeling good and both he and the club sure he will be able to make his next start Saturday against the Houston Astros.
Coco Crisp, who came out of Sunday's game with left hamstring tenderness, still had some soreness on Monday, but he was able to take batting practice and do some running before the game with the Anaheim Angels.
Kazmir came out of his start Sunday in Seattle after six innings with left triceps discomfort, at which time he sat on the bench and talked with manager Bob Melvin, pitching coach Curt Young and trainer Walt Horn while holding his left forearm.
That picture and video got on the internet, raising worries among A's fans that something might be seriously wrong.
"I was thinking that I really shouldn't have done that," Kazmir said with a laugh Monday. "There wasn't anything wrong. I was showing how I was releasing my pitches, the cutter and the slider. But if all you saw was a picture of that, I could see how you could think something was wrong."
Kazmir said he could pitch on regular rest, which would be Friday, but with the A's having Thursday off, everybody in the rotation will get an extra day off, beginning with Sonny Gray, who will throw Friday against Houston.
Melvin said Crisp was still feeling a bit of discomfort in his hamstring, but the manager didn't think there was anything major, and it's possible Crisp will be back in the lineup Tuesday when the Angels throw Garrett Richards, the only right-hander the A's will see from the Angels in this series.
It will be a test for the A's roster, which is heavily left-handed. With the switch-hitting Crisp out at least Monday, the team is down one right-handed bat.
The A's are hitting just .156 against left-handed pitchers this season, the worst mark in the majors. But they have been without the right-handed bat of Craig Gentry, who may add a little more balance to their lineup. Gentry replaced left-handed hitting outfielder Sam Fuld, who was designated for assignment by the A's over the weekend.
"We're in one of those stretches where it seems like we're going to see a lot of lefties after a stretch where we didn't see any," Melvin said. "It shouldn't cause a problem."

The UK economy will see growth resume in the second half of 2012, with faster GDP growth during 2013, according to the latest quarterly CBI economic forecast.
The CBI now expects GDP growth in 2012 to be 0.6%, down from the 0.9% growth forecast made in February. The figures have been revised as a "direct consequence" of the preliminary ONS figure for quarter one. In the longer term, however, the CBI forecasts GDP growth for 2013 to be 2%.
Quarter-on-quarter growth is expected to be flat in the second quarter of 2012 (0%). However, the CBI says there will be an improvement in the second half of the year (0.7%, 0.5%), citing an improving global economy, an expected easing in inflationary pressures, a boost from the Olympics and a bounce back from the second quarter.
The CBI also predicts that:
Commenting on the forecast, CBI Director-General, John Cridland said: "Despite the disappointing GDP estimate for the first quarter from the ONS, we still think the UK economy will grow in 2012, with faster growth next year. Optimism among businesses has been increasing since the turn of the year, with manufacturing demand holding up. And that is beginning to translate into more jobs and investment.
"That said, the global economy continues to pose a number of significant challenges. Concerns over Eurozone stability are on the rise again, oil prices remain high and confidence among businesses and households are still fragile.
"We have always said that the path back to sustainable economic growth will be a long and difficult one, with many bumps along the way. To re-balance our economy towards exports and investment will take time and patience."

Teen 'Sexting' More Common Than Thought
July 2, 2012 -- Sexting is common among teens, with more than 1 in 4, or 28%, admitting they have sent a naked picture of themselves through text or email, according to new research.
If they had sent a naked photo, they were also more likely to be sexually active, the study shows.
"It may be a reliable indicator of actual sexual behavior," says researcher Jeff R. Temple, PhD, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Texas Medical Branch Health in Galveston.
The study, which polled 948 public high school students, is published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.
Teen Sexting Study Details
Although the usual definition of sexting includes transmitting naked pictures as well as sexually explicit messages, usually over a cell phone, Temple, a psychologist, confined the definition in the study to naked pictures only.
The teens he surveyed were participating in his ongoing study, Dating It Safe.
They answered questions about transmitting naked pictures -- whether they had sent, asked someone to send, or been asked to send. If they had been asked, they told how bothered they were about it.
The teens ranged in age from 14 to 19, but ''the vast majority were 15 or 16," Temple says.
He also found:
- 31% said they had asked someone to send a naked picture.
- 57% said they had been asked to send a naked picture.
- Of those who were asked, most said the request bothered them.
The teens also answered questions about sexual behavior, Temple says. Teens who sexted were more likely to report having engaged in sex.
Among girls, more than 77% of those who had sent a sext reported having had sex, compared to 42% of those who had not sent a sext. Among boys, nearly 82% of those who had sent a sext reported having had sex, compared to 45% of those who had not sent a sext.
Girls who engaged in sexting, but not the boys, had a higher chance of risky sexual behavior. For the study, that was defined as using drugs or alcohol before sex or having multiple partners.

Brock Sculpture to be Unveiled April 18
April 6, 2011
Lindenwood University will unveil and dedicate a sculpture of St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Lou Brock at 3 p.m. Monday, April 18. The ceremony will take place at the Lou Brock Sports Complex on the Lindenwood campus.
Brock and his wife, Rev. Jacqueline Brock, are long-time Lindenwood supporters and Jacqueline Brock is a member of the Lindenwood Board of Directors.
The bronze sculpture is a slightly larger-than life version of Brock sliding into second base. It was crafted by artist Harry Weber, and will sit on a pedestal at the entrance to the home of the Lindenwood baseball and softball programs. The Lou Brock Sports Complex was built in 2005 and has hosted NAIA regional tournaments along with the 2009 NAIA National Championship Opening Round.
The complex is named after one of the best St. Louis Cardinals in history. Brock played for the Cardinals from 1964-1979, and was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 1985. During his career, Brock helped the Cardinals to National League pennants in 1964, 1967, and 1968, and to World Series championships in 1964 and 1967. He is a six-time all-star.
Following the ceremony, Brock will throw out the first pitch at the softball doubleheader between Lindenwood and McKendree University. The first game of that twinbill is scheduled to start at 5 p.m.

News 12 This Morning / Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- How old were you when you opened your first bank account? In South Carolina, children as young as 4 years old are opening their own, thanks to the Looney Toons Savings Club program at Security Federal Bank.
Security Federal runs savings club program in 27 schools. The kids open the account with just $5 and the bank gives them $1 on top of that. Then, the kids get deposit slips and they can start saving.
Fifth grader Makenzie Bryant deposited money into her very own bank account Tuesday at North Aiken Elementary.
"I deposited $2," she said.
A couple dollars a week every day since first grade has added up.
"I have like $170," Bryant said.
She and hundreds of kids all over the area are part of the Looney Toons Savings club at Security Federal Bank.
"They see that it's real life," said North Aiken Principal Rhonda Ray. "They're able to not only learn about counting money in the classroom, but counting their own money when they participate in the Looney Toons program."
Children up to 12 years old can start their own bank account. They can even make deposits at school and pull out their money at any Security Federal location.
"It reinforces key math skills that students need to learn at this early age," Ray said.
It's a lesson in saving and managing your money, too.
"It's teaching children, especially in this economy, how important it is to save, and a lot of times, parents can't necessarily write a check for that first car or write a check for college tuition, so it's really teaching them about saving for their own stuff that they want," said Looney Toons Coordinator Logan Spires.
For Makenzie, it's allowed her to use her own money to buy the things she wants.
"I got some new clothes and things for my room and presents for Christmas for my cousins," she said.
Children as young as 4 have their own accounts.
"We really want to reach them at a young age and instill great savings value in them," Spires said.
"The sooner they learn it, the better able they are to realize the importance of saving money," Ray said.
Anyone can have a Looney Toons Savings account. You do not have to be in one of the elementary schools that is a part of the program. Kids are also learn about having a bank account, like what it means to overdraft and the importance of not giving out your account information.
As they get older, their accounts roll over with them within the bank. After 12, it becomes a young savers account, and when they turn 18, it turns into your typical adult bank account.

Dark at Noon
Both my maternal and paternal grandparents were farmers. Both farmed small to moderate acreages; both also raised cattle, hogs, chicken and anything else that could be sold for a profit. And both lived through the "dirty thirty's" and were forever affected by that experience.
Long past the "dirty thirty's", I remember them scanning the sky for a glimpse of a rain cloud and being excited when the rain gauge measured any amount of moisture. One Grandpa made the same comment every time he took a drink of the cool beverages brought out to the field during harvest, "People just don't know how important water is." Another Grandma fought a lifelong battle against the dust that blew into the house from gravel roads, open areas, harvested fields and wished the shelterbelt of newly planted trees would grow faster and become a block to the wind and the dust it moved.
This past week I was returning from a First Aid training (a whole separate blog story about that experience!) and encountered a mini-version of what so greatly impacted my grandparents. In the midst of the Red River Valley, the flattest, least horizon obstructed area of ND, the wind was moving our ND topsoil up and out and over to MN. Vehicle operators turned their highlights on; some semi drivers pulled over and others towing campers should have. As I counted the posts along the edge of the Interstate, I realized that visibility was down to about half a mile and even the tight seals on the modern vehicle I was steering could not keep the dust out. I could see it on the dashboard and taste it on my lips. After a super dusty thirty miles, the gusts diminished, the view cleared and the ground stayed in place.
I wondered if owners of the land that was losing layers to the wind had been out watching their property during the wind storm or if they had waited til all was over to survey the damage. I wondered my grandparents would have said it was a bad storm or not as bad as others or if they would again scan the skies for rain.

The New Orleans Saints have signed free agent cornerback Keenan Lewis to a five-year deal.
It's a homecoming of sorts for the former Pittsburgh Steeler who grew up in the Crescent City and attended O. Perry Walker High School before playing his collegiate ball at Oregon State.
In his first year as a starter for the black and yellow, the fourth-year pro led the NFL with 23 pass defenses last season. He added 71 tackles and a forced fumble. Now, he is trading Steelers yellow for Saints gold.
"We are excited to be able to add a player of Keenan's ability to our defense," said Saints General Manager Micky Loomis in a news release issued Thursday. "He was a top free agent target for us and I know that he is very excited to be able to come home to play football."
Lewis was one of the top cornerbacks on the market this off season and figures to compete favorably with current Saints Jabari Greer and Patrick Robinson for playing time on the edge.

"One of the foundations of a healthy relationship is being able to express your feelings to your partner and learning how to listen," says Cooper.

In other words, hear him out, but don't just agree to keep the peace.

Who's making sure the kids aren't stranded at soccer practice, how to handle telling Momzilla that you're going to his folks' for the holidays, and so on. "That doesn't give a sense of emotional bonding or intimacy that many people are craving," says Cooper. Carve out quality time when you're focusing on each other and nothing else.

Matthew B. Neiditch (Rutgers University)
MolBio Seminar Series
Matthew B. Neiditch
Dr. Matthew Neiditch is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Rutgers - New Jersey Medical School. Dr. Neiditch received his B.S. at Rutgers where his earliest research employed analytical techniques to study chemical properties of non-nutritive sweeteners. He received his Ph.D. at Baylor College of Medicine where he studied the molecular mechanism of VDJ recombination in the laboratory of Dr. David Roth in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr. Neiditch was a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Frederick Hughson in the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University. Here, Dr. Neiditch carried out studies of bacterial cell-cell communication, which continues to be a primary area of research in his lab.
Dr. Neiditch's group uses diverse methods including biochemical, genetic, computational, and biophysical (mainly X-ray crystallographic) techniques to study fundamentally important and broadly conserved cellular processes in bacteria. The basic science research in his lab encompasses structure-function studies of peptide-mediated bacterial cell-cell communication, c-di-GMP second messenger signal transduction, phosphorelay signal transduction, phosphatases, and transcriptional anti-activators, among others. The translational work in the Neiditch lab focuses on developing broad-spectrum inhibitors of bacterial biofilm growth and cell-cell communication as well as inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis mycolic acid biosynthesis.
Structural Biology of Cell-Cell Communication in Gram-Positive Bacteria
Pheromone-mediated cell-cell communication enables bacterial communities to coordinate social behaviors including, among others: virulence factor expression, motility, biofilm development, bioluminescence, antibiotic production, sporulation, and genetic competence. Typically, acylated homoserine lactones are used as pheromones by Gram-negative bacteria, whereas peptides are used by Gram-positive bacteria. This seminar will focus on the diverse cellular functions of the Gram-positive peptide pheromone receptors and their regulation by peptide pheromones. The results of genetic, biochemical, computational modeling, and X-ray crystallographic studies will be presented. The function and regulation of the pheromone receptors will be described in atomic detail, and the effects of pheromone receptor activity on bacterial communities will be discussed.
Free and open to the university community and the public

MARIETTA - Combating heart disease isn't just a matter of providing medical care when a problem arises.
Experts say education and awareness can stop problems before they start and help people recover and decrease their risks of having another event.
"It is the leading cause of death within our region (so) we know that it's important for people to know what risk factors they have," said Jennifer Offenberger, director of marketing and public relations for the Memorial Health System. "We want people to read more about heart disease, to know their risk factors, to know what signs to watch for."
Both Memorial and Camden-Clark Medical Center send physicians and other employees to speak to community groups about heart disease and other medical issues. They also sponsor various events and programs promoting cardiovascular health and overall health improvement.
Up next for Memorial is the annual Go Red for Women luncheon on Thursday.
"We invite women in the community to come and spend some time over lunch focusing on them and heart health as it relates to women," Offenberger said.
Memorial provides low-cost screenings at locations around the area as a convenient way for residents to keep up with their health, cardiovascular and otherwise.
Memorial's quarterly Community Health Line publication also includes a variety of health information for people at the more than 2,000 addresses to which it's sent.
Camden-Clark's Lifetime Partners organization, which is free to anyone 55 and up, offers heart-health resources and activities, including the SoleMates program that encourages members to walk the Grand Central Mall in exchange for incentive prizes and improved fitness. The hospital also has a number of Heart Month activities planned for its employees, some of which - like healthy cooking demonstrations in the cafeterias on the Memorial and St. Joseph's campuses - are open to the public as well.
"Our hospital is a microcosm of the community at large, and we spend a lot of time with our hospital staff (focusing on) heart-healthy living," said Allison Maher, director of cardiovascular services for Camden-Clark.
Camden-Clark supports the annual Wood-Washington Heart Walk, held in the fall, which raises money for the American Heart Association. Employees raised more than $15,000 for the Heart Walk last year, but it isn't just about the money, Maher said. It also raises awareness about heart disease and ways to live healthier.
"The Heart Walk itself is a community effort that anyone can participate in," Maher said.
Education and lifestyle changes are also important for people who have had heart attacks or been diagnosed with other cardiovascular conditions, and that's key to both local hospital systems' cardiac rehab programs.
"Our program is education and exercise pertaining to your cardiac risk factor," said Barb Foster, a registered nurse in Memorial's cardiac rehab department. "It's not something you just do for 12 weeks. You've done some damage (to your heart) and now you don't want to damage it again."
In addition to developing an appropriate exercise regimen to continue after they leave the program, participants meet with pharmacists, nutritionists and dietitians to learn how to manage their medication and eating habits.
Justin Warner, president of the Marietta High School Key Club, said his group and Student Council became involved in a heart association fundraiser as part of an effort by the group to reach older students than its Jump Rope for Heart elementary school program targets. Now, students from MHS and Warren High School are selling T-shirts bearing the slogan "Rock the Beat" in advance of their basketball matchup on Tuesday.
"This is primarily to raise money for the American Heart Association but we are raising awareness," Warner said. "I feel honored to be a part of fighting heart disease."
The shirts - black for Marietta and white for Warren - can be purchased at the game, with the junior varsity contest scheduled to tip off at 6 p.m. at Warren, followed by the varsity game.

Sports has many milestones. They often are markers indicating greatness and significant career accomplishments. Coach Gene Hildebrandt's 450th win as St. James' head wrestling coach is one of those memorable milestones. By any measure 450 career wins is a big number and it compares favorably to other sports milestones. Major league pitchers who have won more than 450 games is a category of one - Cy Young had 511 wins and he last pitched in 1911.
In pro football Jerry Rice topped out with 208 TD catches.
As far as pro football coaching goes George Halas, one of the founders of the NFL, had 324 wins and it took him 47 years to do it.
Don Shula the longtime coach of the Dolphins passed Halas in his final season as a head coach and ended up with 328 wins.
Joe Paterno, was fired as the head coach of Penn State just after he became the all time winningest coach of Div. 1 college football with 409 wins.
John Gagliardi the head football coach at St. John's in Minnesota is the winningest college football coach of all time. Gagliardi has 484 wins, but he's been at it since 1949.
OK, but all that's comparing apples to oranges. What about wrestling coaches? Consider Dan Gable's record as the head coach at Iowa.
It can be argued Gable is one of the greatest coaches of all time no matter what the sport (Not any of my Hawkeye chauvinism writing this), but Gable burnt out with 355 dual meet coaching wins at Iowa.
Hall of Famer Gene Hildebrandt's 450th win in his 26th season as the head coach of St. James wrestling is a superlative achievement in an outstanding career.
One reason Gable hung it up was he continued to wrestle against the kids he coached until the end. Wrestling against two time or three time national champions might have caused a little wear and tear on Gable's middle age body.
Coach Hildebrandt quipped one of the reasons for his long succes was not wrestling the heavyweights, or as he matured, any of the kids he coached. He came to understand it was better to coach all his athletes instead of focusing on just a few.
Another reason for Hildebrandt's success was that St. James was the, "perfect place to be," for him and St. James was a great place to raise a family.
The ability to control his emotions has also contributed to his success and longevity. "If you don't control your emotions you won't be able to help your kids," Hildebrandt said.
Being, "Fair, firm, and friendly with everybody," has helped Coach Hildebrandt build and maintain his program. He has a 'team first individual second' outlook that he instills into his young wrestlers.
Page 2 of 2 - His record as the Saints head coach now stands at 450-121-2. For this season the Saints are now 11-1.
This year's team started out having to replace nine seniors who graduated last year. What is often said about sports dynasties is 'they don't rebuild, they reload'. Coach Hildebrandt has elevated the St. James wrestling program to where most years the team reloads.
For Hildebrandt, every year has been a highlight. He plans on coming back next year. He will be assessing his future coaching plans on a year to year basis when making a decision on when to call it quits as the Saint's head coach.
Over the next month, there are some tough dual meets remaining for the Saints. There's also a chance for you to watch this legend in action as Coach Hildebrandt seeks to add to his dual meet win totals.
A good Fairmont squad comes to town Thursday night. Coach Hildebrandt welcomes the challenge, and thinks this match will be a, "barn burner."

Polk County Commission Considering Plan to Increase Some Fees, Tax
Commission sets stormwater fee, adjusts fire fee assessments.
Published: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 11:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 11:56 p.m.
BARTOW | Homeowners will see a slight increase in county fire assessments and all property owners in unincorporated Polk County will see a slight increase in property tax rates next year under proposals approved Tuesday by the County Commission.
On Tuesday, county commissioners also:
- Approved a $4.8 million bid by Killebrew Inc. of Lakeland for water main improvements in the northwest utility area.
- Voted 4-1, with Commissioner Melony Bell dissenting, to approve a growth map amendment to allow commercial development on a residential parcel at the intersection of Pipkin Road and Old Highway 37.
- Approved a resolution eliminating the requirement for an annual application to reduce property assessment for living quarters for parents or grandparents.
- Approved payment of $25,000 each to Stokes Grove and to Jeffrey Stokes for right of way needed to replace the bridge on Old Bartow-Lake Wales Road.
- Appointed Carol Imbody and reappointed James D. Guth to the Board of Adjustment.
- Appointed William Braswell to the Polk County Planning Commission.
The fire assessment, which will increase from $160 to $168 a year for single-family homes and from $69 to $76 for mobile homes, is part of an adjustment based on the number of service calls different land uses generate.
The proposal will mean lower rates for many commercial properties.
For instance, the fire assessment for a 100,000-square-foot commercial building will drop from $17,309 to $12,173 a year.
In addition to property owners in unincorporated Polk County, the fire assessment also applies to property owners in Eagle Lake, Hillcrest Heights, Lake Hamilton, Mulberry and Polk City
Although there are no recommended increases in the tax rates for general operations, transportation, parks orlibraries, commissioners agreed to add a 10-cent per $1,000 of taxable value stormwater tax. It, like the parks and library taxes, would apply only in unincorporated areas of the county.
Commissioners will consider formal adoption of the proposed tax rates at the tentative budget hearing at 6 p.m. Sept. 5 in the commission chambers.
With the addition of the stormwater tax, the property tax rate in unincorporated areas of Polk County will increase from $7.50 per $1,000 of taxable value to $7.60 per $1,000 of taxable value.
For someone with a home appraised at $150,000 with $50,000 of homestead exemption, the bill for county taxes would increase from $750 to $760.
County taxes for homeowners living in cities with the same value of house ($150,000 with $50,000 in exemptions) would remain at $687.
County Manager Jim Freeman said the stormwater tax, which will generate an estimated $1.3 million next year, is needed to help Polk County meet the requirements of state and federal pollution regulations.
Those regulations require local officials to devise and to implement plans to improve water quality in lakes and rivers where water quality falls below state and federal standards.
Stormwater runoff is being targeted because it is considered a major factor in the decline of water quality.
Commissioners also agreed Tuesday to appoint a five-member Stormwater Technical Advisory Committee to review projects proposed using the proceeds from any taxes that commissioners decide to levy and to monitor that Polk County is in compliance with its stormwater permit.
Commissioners will consider approving committee appointments at the Aug. 6 commission meeting.

South Korea Suspects North Korea Dumped Another Military Chief
In what may be the second major shake-up at the top of North Korea's military this year, dictator Kim Jong Eun is believed by South Korean officials to have replaced another defense chief.
Reports circulated in Seoul on Thursday that Vice Marshal Kim Jong Gak, who just in February was promoted to that highest-level post below the dictator himself, is now out. A spokeswoman at the South Korea presidential office said the report was "highly possible though not confirmed."
Kim Jong Gak is reportedly being succeeded as the North's top military commander by Kim Kyok Sik, leader of the North's forces on the inter-Korean border. In that role, this Gen. Kim is believed by analysts to have directed the 2010 attacks on the South Korean warship Cheonan and Yeonpyeong Island.
If true, the change follows the departure in July of North Korea's previous defense chief, another vice marshal of the Korean People's Army named Ri Yong Ho. Both vice marshals Ri and Kim Jong Gak were considered close to the North's previous leader, Kim Jong Il, who died last December and who is the father of Kim Jong Eun. Both were also considered hard-liners who disliked any effort to reach out diplomatically to South Korea and its ally, the United States.
North Korea announced Gen. Ri's departure, saying that he was giving up his titles for health reasons. No official word had come about Kim Jong Gak, however.
Last week, South Korea's biggest newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, reported that South Korean intelligence officials believe Gen. Ri is under house arrest in Pyongyang and that Kim Jong Eun is struggling to control the North Korean military.
The young new dictator is believed to be attempting to shift more economic power to the ruling Worker's Party and away from the military. He made two publicly-announced visits to the State Security Ministry, which oversees and enforces loyalty to the Kim regime, in the past month, steps seen as trying to reinforce his authority. Those visits, along with the shakeups at the top of the military, have fueled speculation that the military is resisting the loss of its economic grip.
In the biggest visible step of the attempted power shift, Kim Jong Eun in April gave a vice marshal title to a political figure, Choe Ryong Hae, and appointed him to the National Defense Commission, where Gens. Ri and Kim also held chairs.
