NBA: Knicks reportedly offer Phil Jackson position in front office
Phil Jackson apparently doesn't want to coach the Knicks, but it's possible he can be convinced to join their front office in some capacity.
According to multiple reports, Jackson met with Knicks officials recently. According to a report in the New York Daily News, the Knicks offered him a position in their front office. The story, which was based on an unnamed source, said Jackson will give the Knicks an answer sometime next week.
ESPN reported that Knicks president and general manager Steve Mills met with Jackson, 68, about becoming the coach and that Jackson wasn't interested. USA Today also reported that they met.
It's unclear what role Jackson may have been offered. Allan Houston is the Knicks' assistant general manager and Mark Warkentien is the director of player personnel.
Jackson has never worked in a front office but served as a consultant with the Pistons last summer during their coaching search. Detroit hired Maurice Cheeks, who was fired after 50 games.
The Knicks would not comment on the reports. Calls to Jackson's agent were not returned.
Two summers ago, Jackson was critical of the Carmelo Anthony-Amar'e Stoudemire pairing and said the Knicks' roster was "clumsy."
It's been a disappointing season for the Knicks, who expected to contend for the title after going 54-28 in 2012-13. But they took a 22-40 record into last night's game against Utah and are nearing a crucial offseason in which Anthony can become a free agent and sign with another team.
"When you're not winning, it opens the doors for a lot of rumors," Stoudemire said. "Our job is to win. If we win, there wouldn't be any of these distractions. The door wouldn't be open for so many rumors."
Jackson won a record 11 titles as the coach of the Bulls and Lakers and was a member of the Knicks' only two NBA championship teams in 1970 and 1973 (he did not play in the 1969-70 season because of a back injury). If the Knicks were able to bring in Jackson, it could help them retain Anthony and make the team more appealing to other players. The Knicks likely will have plenty of cap space in the summer of 2015.
Coach Mike Woodson, who has one year left on his deal, seemed to handle the Jackson report in stride.
"I really don't have an opinion on it," he said. "As I sit here today, I'm the coach of the New York Knicks. I'm not going to entertain anything about Phil. I have a great deal of respect for Phil, but I'm not going to entertain anything about Phil Jackson. My job is to get this team to play at a high level."
Woodson has had to answer questions about his job status all season. Mills — who replaced Glen Grunwald after he was let go four days before the start of training camp — hasn't spoken to the media since opening night, Oct. 30.
In a recent interview with USA Today, Jackson acknowledged he has spoken to teams.
"There are winners and losers in the NBA, and a lot of people are trying to reclaim their position or change their culture or whatever," he said. "I've had conversations. Some of them are feelers. 'Are you interested?' type of thing."
Jackson could return to the Lakers. They also have struggled this season and could have a shakeup on the bench and front office, where Jackson's fiancee, Jeanie Buss, could have a bigger role.

From the people who brought you the Mavi Marmara, Bulent Yildirim, the head of the IHH terror organization addresses more than 1,000 of his organization's 'activists' to share with them plans to bring another 15-20-ship flotilla to Gaza next month, plus land convoys and an airplane.
Let's go to the videotape. It's in Turkish but an English translation can be found here or in part below the fold.
"We are getting ready... There will be a ship from every country... in Europe. Our own Mavi Marmara will also set sail from Europe... Vessels will come from everywhere in the world...
"Israel will learn this: The Mediterranean does not belong to Israel... Just because we have had shahids, we are not fearful... We will not step back...
"Let all know this: Until the blockade on Gaza is lifted... and until our march to al-Aqsa is completed, this sea intifada and land intifada will continue!
"Also, it will not be only by sea. We are preparing for land convoys as well. And with Allah's permission, our project for the purchase of an airplane will soon be realized. This way we will reach Gaza by air too."
"Our Problem Is Zionism – Which, Like a Virus, Has Infected All Humanity!"
"What do we say to the world leaders? Do not expect us to live in peace, when people in Gaza are dying... And do not expect us to remain silent when al Aqsa mosque is a prisoner...
Read the whole thing.
Is anyone listening?

'The peaceful life of a village in Wiltshire is suddenly shattered by a disaster which strikes without reason or explanation, leaving behind it a trail of misery and horror. A yawning, bottomless crack spreads through the earth, out of which creeps a fog that resembles no other. Whatever it is, it must be controlled; for wherever it goes it leaves behind a trail of disaster as hideous as the tragedy that marked its entry into the world. The fog, quite simple, drives people insane.'

Isauria, ancient inland district of south-central Anatolia. Its inhabitants, a mountain people described by Greco-Roman authors as warlike and uncivilized, were conquered by the Roman general Publius Servilius Vatia "Isauricus" in a three-year campaign, 76–74 bc. Their country with its capital, Isaura Palaia, was joined with Cilicia by Pompey; and under the emperor Augustus (reigned 27 bc–ad 14) it became part of the Roman province of Galatia. Isauria was later prominent as the birthplace of the East Roman (Byzantine) emperor Zeno, whose reign (474–491) is sometimes known as the "Isaurian Ascendancy." The Byzantine emperor Leo III (reigned 717–741) was once called the Isaurian, but on the mistaken belief that he had been born in Isauria.

TrueHoop is a blog which covers the sport of basketball, primarily the National Basketball Association. The blog, which has been in operation since May 15, 2005, was one of several blogs honored with the 2005 "Best of the Web award" issued by Forbes magazine[1] The site has linked to or been referenced by many notable publications and organizations,[2] including NBA.com, LATimes.com, and CNN/SI.com, and has been praised by notable sports columnists such as Chad Ford and Chris Sheridan.[3] The site has been noted for its investigations into the affairs of William Wesley, a noted (and somewhat controversial) NBA facilitator.[4]
TrueHoop is written by Henry Abbott, a sportswriter, journalist, and stand-up comedian, originally from Portland, Oregon who now lives in New Jersey. Abbott has written more than a dozen cover stories, more than a hundred feature articles, a regular column, and is published in such sources as: The Onion, the official NBA Finals program, Inside Stuff, HOOP, and Men's Journal.[5] Abbott is a founding partner (along with his wife) in Gekko Productions, a media company which writes creative copy for blogs, advertisements, and speeches, and other language-based media. He graduated with a degree in journalism from New York University.[6]
On February, 2007, it was announced that TrueHoop was purchased by ESPN. ESPN later expanded TrueHoop to a blog network, consisting of many contributors and blogs.[7] Abbott correctly predicted Pau Gasol would be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers a few hours before the actual trade happened.[8]

suprachiasmatic nucleus
Each of a pair of small nuclei in the hypothalamus of the brain, above the optic chiasma, thought to be concerned with the regulation of physiological circadian rhythms.
Example sentences
- In mammals it responds indirectly to light because it receives messages along fibres from nerve cells of the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, which themselves receive signals from the eye via fibres of the optic nerve.
- The clock, which is located in the brain in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, programs daily cyclic changes in the body, thereby creating two distinct periods, a biological day and a biological night.
- Within mammals a region of the hypothalamus known as the suprachiasmatic nucleus acts as a central clock regulating rhythms throughout the rest of the body.

Prime minister resigns, harsh laws repealed
Ukraine's opposition movement gained ground Tuesday in its efforts to remake the country, with the resignation of the prime minister and his Cabinet and the repeal of harsh new laws restricting freedom of speech and assembly. Ukraine's parliament invalidated the antidemonstration laws hours after Prime Minister Mykola Azarov resigned. Passage of the laws on Jan. 16 had triggered street clashes in the capital, Kiev, after months of protests against government corruption and the closer ties to Russia favored by President Viktor Yanukovych. The unraveling of the government has the potential to become a blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who strove to prop up Yanukovych and keep Ukraine from drawing closer to the West.
Longtime inmate at Gitmo seeks release

It maintained that he was "almost certainly" a member of al-Qaida who had been among a group of bodyguards for Osama bin Laden before their capture by Pakistani forces in December 2001.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., hasn't decided whether he'll run for a sixth term in 2016, but the former GOP presidential nominee said Tuesday that the Arizona Republican Party's censure of him over the weekend may just have provided the motivation to seek office again. The censure vote came during a meeting of state committee members who cited McCain's voting record as being insufficiently conservative. McCain, 80, blames the censure on "extremist" party elements.

Happy Birthday To You!!! LbNA # 52820
|Placed Date
|Apr 3 2010
|Collierville, TN
|Found By
|Team JSABAIL
|Last Found
|May 1 2015
|Hike Distance
Make your way to Herb Parson Lake north of Collierville, off of Fisherville Rd. Park and start out walking to the right, over the top of the dam, with the lake to your left. Past the end of the dam you get to the 0.5 red wood post. Only 1 logbook for this series, and it's in the second box. Other 3 boxes are stamp only. This is about a 3 mile walk.
#1 When you get to the 0.5 marker, stand at it. With your back to the lake, you see the bench in front of you, and to the right a barely noticeable trail that leads up a short hill and into the woods. Between the bench and the barely noticeable trail is a short (6 inches) stump up on the short hill. Box is inside the stump.
#2 Birthday - Continue following the original path, entering the woods, and walking with the lake to your left. Continue walking until you come to a fork in the trail. One way (the left) continues around the lake, the other way (the right) goes uphill.Go ahead and take the left trail (around the lake) continue on the main trail, for about 1/4 mile. Look for a green metal post on the left, then a dip, then on the right is a humongous trunk tree, that splits into three huge trunks. The box is located at the base of the tree, on the front right, dug down a little.
#3 To - From that humongous tree, you will see a different path behind the tree. Go to that path and turn right (as you are facing away from the lake). Go about 1/4 mile, and you come to an unlikely patch of daffodils with their distinctive leaves (noticeable in Spring/Summer) next to a patch of bushes that have long spikes (most noticeable Fall/Winter). In front of the patch of daffodils is a spindly tree stump on the right of the trail about 12 feet tall. At the base of the spindly stump is a stump hole where a bigger tree used to be. The box is inside that stump hole.
#4 You - Keep going, same trail, same direction, about another 1/2 mile, around a big bend, through a break in a barbed wire fence. Just through the barbed wire fence are 4 concrete blocks in the woods to the left. Go to these. The box is in the dirt next to (and behind) the first concrete block on the left under a small piece of concrete.

Score Breakdown based on

4.2 on March 13, 2013
We stayed here in early March for some spring skiing. The innkeeper Barbara is very nice and helpful. We were satisfied with our room - it had everything we needed to spend the night. The best part about this inn is the value and the fact that they accept bedandbreakfast.com gift cards!
1.8 on August 31, 2012
The photo of the inn is obviously when the inn was first opened. The place was run down, dirty, and old. The shower would shut off after we used it and it ran all night! The mattresses were so old we felt metal wires coming through, so sleeping was out of the question. The whole place needed renovation. The pool was not able to be used because it was needing repair. I will never stay there again. The owners were nice, but they really need to fix their place. We went in to check out the breakfast and it was really nice. I don't get it! Why couldn't the rooms be nice? Too bad, I really thought it was in a great location for us to stay again.
2.2 on October 07, 2011
I stayed at the Season's Pass Inn for one night and would not recommend the accommodation to anyone. The whole Inn seemed a bit run-down and the room was rather shabby and needed maintanance. The breakfast was okay but the bagels seemed a day old already and the whole atmosphere was dark and uninviting. Solely the Innkeeper was very nice but that alone could not make amends for the overall negative impression.
4.6 on September 03, 2010
The Inn Keepers were very friendly and helpful with sight seeing around town

About the Book
In Jurassic Park, he created a terrifying new world. Now, in Micro, Michael Crichton reveals a universe too small to see and too dangerous to ignore.
In a locked Honolulu office building, three men are found dead, covered in ultrafine, razor-sharp cuts. The only clue left behind is a tiny bladed robot. In the lush forests of Oahu, trillions of microorganisms are being discovered, feeding a search for priceless drugs. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, seven graduate students are recruited by a microbiology start-up and dispatched to a mysterious lab in Hawaii. There they are promised access to tools that will open a whole new scientific frontier.
But once in the Oahu rain forest, the scientists are thrust into a hostile wilderness where they find themselves prey to a technology of radical and unbridled power. To survive, they must harness the inherent forces of nature itself.
An instant classic, Micro pits nature against technology in vintage Crichton fashion. Completed by visionary science writer Richard Preston, this boundary-pushing thriller melds scientific fact with pulse-pounding fiction to create yet another masterpiece of sophisticated, cutting-edge entertainment.

Football Blanks St. Francis (Pa.), 34-0
Nov. 17, 2001
Stony Brook, N.Y. - Scott Bard threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns to lead Stony Brook to a 34-0 shutout of St. Francis (Pa.) in Northeast Conference football action Saturday afternoon at Seawolves Field. It was a historic day at Seawolves Field as the Seawolves played their final home game on the 18-year old field that they have called home since the inception of the program in 1984. Stony Brook will begin play in a brand new 8,000-seat stadium next fall.
Stony Brook wasted no time in taking control of the game, scoring on its first two possessions. Bard hit Chris McGovern on a 10-yard touchdown pass at 10:24 of the opening period and on the next drive connected on a 26-yard strike to Bryan Tornee' and the Seawolves were in control, 14-0.
Bard helped extend the lead to 21-0 in the second quarter, connecting with Courtenay Mitchell on a 29-yard touchdown pass. Mike Soto added a 33-yard field goal and the Seawolves led 24-0 at the break.
Soto added another field goal in the fourth quarter to extend the lead to 27-0 before cornerback Ernie Williams closed out the scoring with a 99-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:22 remaining.
Stony Brook linebacker Aden Smith also made history this afternoon. He finished with 11 tackles to raise his season total to 112 for the year which set a new school single-season tackle record. Smith eclipsed the previous single-season high of 109 that was set by John Harris in 1997.
Wideout Chris McGovern also had a career-best day for Stony Brook, hauling in eight passes for 137 yards.
The win marked the first time that Stony Brook has won back-to-back games since the early part of 1998 as SB wrapped up the 2001 season with a 3-6 mark, 3-5 in NEC play. St. Francis fell to 0-10, 0-7 in conference play.

Remember this clip from Mean Girls, where Lindsay Lohan's character, Cady Heron, talks about Halloween?
"In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy," she says. "In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."
Like it or not, we all sort of know this is true. Personally, I've never worn a sexy Halloween costume—it's not really my thing, and by late October, it's just too darn cold in New York City! But I definitely enjoy perusing some of the more hilarious offerings every year both online and at my local Ricky's Halloween Superstore.
Just this week, Yandy.com, one of the Web's top destinations for costumes, released some of its newest 2013 offerings—and, I guess, in an effort to expand their "sexy costume" offerings (no, seriously, there's a massive section of their site entirely devoted to sexy Halloween costumes), they're really, uh, reaching.
Check out this year's new Sexy Squid Costume, which features tentacles, a hot pink tutu skirt, and a furry bikini top:
There's also Yandy's new Sexy Pizza Costume, which, let's be real, is just a sheath dress with a pizza printed on it adorned with some bizarre "pizza crust" padded shoulders:
And the Sexy Hamburger Costume—a tube dress with some hamburger-y ruffles across the midsection.
The folks over at Yandy actually seem to have a pretty good sense of humor about what "sexy" is—remember last year when they released sexy Bert and Ernie costumes?
In the same vein, I'm pretty sure this one is my favorite "sexy" Yandy costume this year: the Sexy Ted Costume. Maybe I just like it because it looks warm and fuzzy...
What do you think about sexy costumes on Halloween? I sort of think that everyone should just be able to wear whatever they want to wear—but do you think the push for sexy has gone too far? Like, come on, do we really need a sexy squid costume?

The Pettis County Museum: A Hidden Sedalia Treasure [INTERVIEW]
I think that many of us who live here in Pettis County and the Sedalia area are folks who have been here most of our lives. Sure, there's some people who have come in from other towns or out of state, but more often than not, I see the same people here that were here 10 years ago. That's part of what keeps our tradition and our heritage rich.

FAIRHAVEN — Park Motors is being used as a staging area for infrastructure work, Town Planner William Roth told selectmen July 1.
Mr. Roth said the town has only received one complaint about using the property for staging area for infrastructure work financed through Community Development Block Grants. The town has received more than $6 million in these grants to date.
Mr. Roth said the owners of Park Motors have let the town use it for a staging area for projects like work on Park and Main Streets and Fort Street. It said it will be used when the town works on Elliott Lane in the future.
After Elliott Lane is finished, the town will move onto other areas, the town planner said. He said Elliott Lane is a smaller project than the ones the town did in this area previously.

The Nowzad Dogs charity started off rescuing just one dog but seven years on we now have the only official animal shelter in Afghanistan and are continually trying to improve the efficiency and capacity of the Nowzad Conrad Lewis Clinic for the small animals of Afghanistan.
Maintaining everything requires constant funding! Nowzad Dogs founder Pen and current chairman of the charity both in the UK and USA is determined that our operating costs (office rent, insurance, stationary, heating and lighting, taxes, auditing responsibilities, fuel costs, IT maintenance, kennel costs, vet fees, flights, PR material production, phone costs, website hosting and design, vaccines, kennel equipment, protective clothing and equipment, staff medical treatment to name but a few of the everyday costs we have to meet) are kept to a minimum ensuring that we can treat and care for as many animals as possible in Afghanistan. But without those operating costs we would not be able to deliver the quality of care and animal welfare that we do.
Your donation no matter how big or small is greatly appreciated by all of us here at Nowzad Dogs. It truly does make a difference.
It will be a long and slow road to continue to make a difference to the animals of Afghanistan but we hope that you will stay with us for the journey.
Please scroll down for details on one of the many ways that you can help us.

School-Located Vaccination (SLV): Information for Planners
Planning for Adequate Staff
Implementing SLV clinics may require staffing capacity that exceeds that of the local public health department (There are several tools available on CDC's website for planning adequate staff). Because of this, planners should consider recruiting additional staff, both medical and non-medical.
Potential roles and duties for additional, non-public health department staff could include the following (Note: licensure/liability issues are discussed below under "Legal Issues"):
Non-medical, non-public health department staff:
- Assembling, distributing, and collecting vaccine information, consent forms, and other materials
- Communicating with parents/guardians (e.g., to encourage return of consent forms if consent is required prior to the clinic day)
- Assisting with the promotion of the clinics (e.g., placing posters, posting information on school website, communicating with local radio/television/newspaper)
- Assisting with clinic flow and escorting students to and from the vaccination site
- Verifying the identity of each child to be vaccinated to ensure that parental consent was given
- Assisting with the transportation of vaccine and other materials to and from clinic sites
- Providing security
- Tracking and entering vaccination information into immunization registries or other databases.
Medical, non-public health department staff, depending on licensure and training:
- Preparing and/or administering vaccines
- Ensuring that vaccination medical screening eligibility has been met
- Evaluating children for illness when they present to the clinic for vaccination
Potential Sources of Non-public Health Department Staff and Ideas for Recruitment
School Staff
School staff, including school nurses, teachers and teachers' assistants, security and maintenance personnel, and other staff, can contribute greatly to the success of a SLV clinic. These staff members are familiar with the students, the school facilities, and the administrative structure of the school. School nurses and teachers may be familiar with students' personalities, pre-existing health conditions, and their parents/guardians. School nurses, who are present in many, but not all, U.S. elementary and secondary schools, can play a critical role in SLV clinics by answering questions from parents and educating school staff about influenza, the consent process, and the SLV clinic. School nurses can also serve as the liaison between the public health department and the school community.
Although school nurses and other staff are likely to be willing to provide assistance, competing priorities and other school responsibilities may serve to limit their involvement. Roles and responsibilities, and the degree to which school staff are involved in the SLV clinic will vary from school to school and should be determined and defined by partners in advance of the clinic. In many cases, school administrators may determine the roles their staff will play. School officials are encouraged to review collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) with school staff prior to making decisions on how staff are to be utilized.
For each participating school, a liaison or point of contact should be identified through which planning communications should be directed. Identifying such a person has been recognized as a key to the successful implementation of SLV programs (see: National Association of County and City Health Officials [NACCHO] School-located Influenza Immunization School Kit). Regardless of the degree of school staff involvement, the SLV clinic should be viewed as a partnership between staff from public health and the school/school districts, in addition to any other organizations that participate.
The following lists activities for which school and partner organization staff may wish to take responsibility.
- Advertising the SLV clinic, perhaps using materials supplied by the public health department.
- Distributing to parents/guardians (e.g., via students, direct mailings, internet sites, or by other means) informational materials and parental consent forms authorizing their child to be vaccinated, subsequently collecting and tracking the return of consent forms, and following up on students who have not submitted consent forms. These activities may be coordinated by school nurses or by teachers (e.g., for their homeroom class).
- Screening returned consent forms for completeness and ensuring that medical eligibility for vaccination has been verified.
- Identifying a location within the school where informational meetings, training, and the SLV clinic will take place; working with public health staff to establish clinic times/dates.
- On scheduled clinic days, escorting students to and from classrooms to the clinic, verifying the identity of the student to be vaccinated, and ensuring that parental consent has been properly given prior to vaccination.
- Communicating vaccination information to the vaccinee's primary health care provider.
- Alerting the vaccinee and his/her parent/guardian of plans for the administration of the second dose.
It also is important that school staff members are able to answer questions from parents or others about the SLV clinic or direct questions to the appropriate staff member(s). School districts and schools should consider identifying a single spokesperson and also provide information on their websites, to the extent feasible. Questions may be directed to the school superintendent's office, school board members, school nurses, teachers, school secretaries, or others; however, all school staff should be appropriately educated about influenza and the SLV clinics and know where to direct more complex questions.
Contractual Staff
Temporary employment agencies may be a resource to hire both medical and non-medical staff to assist with SLV clinics.
Other potential staffing sources include private, for-profit organizations, collectively known as commercial community vaccinators (CCV). In addition to supplying temporary staff, CCV also can be hired to plan and conduct SLV clinics. Many of these organizations are experienced in operating influenza vaccination clinics for children and adults. Some have partnered with schools to conduct SLV clinics or worked with local public health departments in partnership with schools. Planners interested in staffing SLV clinics using a commercial group can refer to the following document that defines the different categories of CCVs [24 KB, 1 page].
Volunteers can serve as an excellent source of SLV clinic staff and may even be considered an essential component of an SLV program, depending on the number of SLV clinics planned within a local jurisdiction. Volunteers can fill many roles in SLV clinics, both non-medical and medical.
For example:
Non-medical Volunteers
Parents of school children could be helpful in conducting the SLV clinic. Other groups to consider are fraternal and service organizations, large local employers, area faith groups, medical service organizations, and students from local colleges and professional schools. Law enforcement, hospitals, and for-profit organizations (e.g., local health insurance companies) also may provide staff.
Students of the school or school district where the SLV clinic will take place are another potential source of volunteers. In addition to providing a positive experience for the student volunteers, peer involvement may increase student participation in the program considerably.
Medical Volunteers
For medical staffing needs, planners may consider contacting area colleges that grant degrees in health care-related fields, such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, and pharmacy, to recruit staff, students, or alumni willing to provide assistance with SLV clinics. Planners may also consider soliciting assistance from retired health care professionals. Medical Reserve Corps have also been a source of experienced, credentialed volunteers for many programs.
Challenges of Using Non-public Health Department Staff in SLV Clinics
Challenges of using non-public health department staff in SLV clinics include:
- All SLV clinic staff and volunteers will need to be trained to perform their duties. Working with children is a specific skill which some medical staff may not possess.
- Although not specific to vaccinating children, planners might find the immunization encounters information in the following CDC websites helpful for training purposes: Immunization Courses - Broadcasts, Webcasts, and Self Study, and The Immunization Encounter: Critical Issues, 2008 Resources.
- Schools may require background checks for SLV clinic staff who will be present on school property. Many staff may have already undergone background checks conducted through their organizations. For those who require background checks, the process may be quite lengthy and will vary locally.
- Planners may consider making plans to enable replacement of volunteer staff who are not available at the last minute, especially during local outbreaks of influenza.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Genes: Key to Advanced Breast Cancer in Blacks?
Mar. 11, 2005 -- Genetics may be why U.S. black women tend to get more advanced breast cancer.
Even though less often, when they do, it's often more advanced than in white women.
Now, researchers have found similarities in breast cancer between African women and U.S. black women. This, they say, points to a possible for more advanced breast cancers among black American women.
The researchers noticed several parallels between breast cancer patients in Africa and black women with breast cancer in the U.S.
- Both groups tend to get breast cancer at younger ages than white women.
- They are also often diagnosed with more
- Black women with breast cancer in the U.S. and Africa also die more often from the disease than white women.
Millions of Africans were removed from their homes and enslaved in the U.S. centuries ago. Most came from sub-Saharan Africa. Could that long-ago connection also include a breast cancer pattern still seen today?
Genes and Ancestry
The University of Michigan's Alero Fregene, MD, and Lisa Newman, MD, MPH, explored the topic. They searched for African breast cancer studies reported in English from 1988 to 2004.
All studies focused on women from sub-Saharan Africa because of their shared ancestry with black U.S. women. This excludes northern nations including Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt. Each study had to have at least 50 women.
Three key findings emerged.
- First, black women in the U.S. and Africa had several things in common.
- Second, breast cancer is poised to rise in Africa, as more Africans adopt Western lifestyles.
- Last but not least, breast cancer education, diagnosis, treatment, and research are severely lacking in many parts of Africa.
Younger Age at Diagnosis
Breast cancer frequency was "quite low" in Western Africa, striking about 20 out of 100,000 women, says the study. In the West, the rate is 90 out of 100,000 women, says a news release.
In Africa, most women with breast cancer are That's about 10-15 years earlier than the peak for countries in the West, says the study.
In America, more black women than whites are diagnosed with breast cancer before age 45. On average, black women are diagnosed at 57, compared to 63 for white women, says the study.

BYU football: How the Cougars can fix the offensive line
Even with improvements against Hawaii, BYU's offensive line has struggled for much of the season so far, according to BYUfootblog.
Throwing the ball quickly can be very frustrating for a pass rusher, according to the article. Quick passes stop defensive linemen from trying their hardest on every play which can also open things up on the ground.
A well-designed screen pass can throw off a defensive line and stop the opposing team from rushing the passer, according to the article. Having the offensive linemen release on their blocks and then tossing the ball to the running back. Bubble screens thrown to the receiver can also be good at frustrating pass rushers because the ball is out of the quarterback's hands before they have any time to hit him.

|New record low for Jack pine budworm
Most of the Jack pine stands have been surveyed in Region 1 for defoliation activity by JPBW with no defoliation detected in 1999. Sample plots in Jack pine stands which experienced defoliation over the past twenty or more years were checked with no defoliation noted and no budworms collected.
|Pinkstriped oakworm
Defoliation of bur oaks by the pinkstriped oakworm, Anisota virginiensis, is commonplace in southern Hubbard County. The young larvae feed gregariously on species of oaks, white birch and other hardwoods. Larvae grow to approximately two inches in size while feeding solitarily on leaves. There is one generation per year. Defoliation and dropping of fecal material alerts the homeowner to their presence. Mortality of bur oaks can occur if heavy defoliation persists for three or more years. Usually the population collapses well before mortality can occur.

College Softball: Texas State opens play in the 2014 Sun Belt Tournament
Texas State head coach Ricci Woodard isn't concerned about her team's opponents.
There's only one team that the fourteen-year coach is worried about — her own.
"We understand that if we play our best ball, we are probably going to win," Woodard said. "It hasn't been that other teams have beaten us this year. It's that we have beaten ourselves."
So when the Bobcats opened the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in Lafayette, La., today, Woodard knows her team doesn't have to look far to realize what happens when it's clicking on all cylinders.
Texas State swept UT Arlington last weekend inside Bobcat Softball Stadium and outscored the visitors 23-4 during the three-game series.
"The biggest thing is we are really confident," Woodard said. "We are really relaxed. Hopefully, last weekend puts us in a good spot for this tournament. We just outplayed them (the Mavericks) We made them beat us and they couldn't."
Texas State (26-29) played a rematch against UTA (20-32) at 12:30 p.m. today in the first round of the conference tournament.
If the Bobcats defeat the Mavericks, they would face No. 4 seed Western Kentucky at 5:30 p.m. today. The Lady Toppers squared off with Texas State in mid-April. WKU took two of three games from the Bobcats.
Woodard faces a dilemma on what order to throw her two starters — Rayn House and Ashley Wright — during the first day of the SBC Tournament. House is one of the SBC's best pitchers as the senior leads the conference in strikeouts (214) and has the fifth-best ERA at 2.53.
Despite those marks, Woodard might want to save her best pitcher for the Lady Toppers, who figure to be tougher team to beat.
"I haven't decided that yet," Woodard said. "My plan right now is probably to throw Ashley against UTA. She has thrown against them a lot during the past few years and she's had a lot of success against them."
Wright toed the rubber in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Mavericks. The sophomore walked five but limited the damage to one run over six innings.
Since Wright struggled in an April 23 home game with Texas (three runs in 1/3 inning), the sophomore has put together a strong stretch of games. Wright had a career-best start versus Troy on April 26 when she struck out eight and allowed only two hits.
Texas State hasn't needed much from its starting pitching lately, especially with how well Woodard's team is swinging the bats. Kelli Baker has led that effort — the second baseman went 7 for 10 during last weekend's series with UTA and was named Sun Belt Player of the Week.
During last weekend's three-game slate, the Bobcats also showed off their power as Woodard's team slugged four homers, including three in Sunday's 9-1 triumph. Kortney Koroll, who belted a solo homer in the second inning of Sunday's tilt, has tallied a team-high nine home runs this season.
While Woodard doesn't want her team to look too far ahead, she knows the importance of getting past the first day of the SBC Tournament. It's win or go home since it's a single-elimination format.
With two wins today, Texas State would move into the double-elimination segment of the tournament. In that case, the Bobcats would play top-seeded UL Lafayette on Thursday. Even with a loss against the Ragin' Cajuns, Texas State wouldn't be eliminated.
"If you survive until Thursday, you have a chance to win it all," Woodard said. "Now, there is no new team for us to play. We have seen the strength and weaknesses of every team."

DB Tony Fields (5-11 195) of Tallahassee has offers from Ole Miss and Mississippi State with interest from Clemson, USC, Florida State, Georgia, Florida, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State and Oregon among others. "Pretty much all of the SEC schools are showing me interest," Fields said. He named the Tigers and Gamecocks as two of his favorites. "I've visited both of those schools twice each," he said. "They're both in my top five or six right now. " He says he is hearing similar comments from the two programs. "Clemson talked to me a couple of weeks ago and told me how they like what I do and that they think I fit into their system," said Fields. "South Carolina is telling me the same thing. They also told me I'm one of the highest DBs on their board." Fields will visit Alabama this spring and plans to take several other trips. He named USC, Clemson, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss and Oregon as schools that he is very interested in. In seven games Fields totaled 83 tackles, six pass deflections, two forced fumbles and a sack. He did not name a leader.Tweet

DA: SABC wrong to foot legal bill for 'liars' Motsoeneng and Tshabalala
The DA slammed SABC's decision to claim insurance towards the legal fees of the pair, whom it said had both lied about their qualifications.
The DA slammed SABC's decision to claim insurance towards the legal fees of the pair, whom it said had both lied about their qualifications.
After refusing to resign earlier this month, saying she had done nothing wrong, SABC chairperson Ellen Tshabalala has handed in her resignation.
The Corporation's controversial supremo, Hlaudi Motsoeneng has generated more headlines than the content he oversees.
Last-minute volte-face has raised concerns that the ANC wants pliant appointees at the public broadcaster.
The public broadcaster is not being held back by fears of a lack of sufficient resources and is steaming ahead to the launch of its satellite project.
The public broadcaster and the Guptas may go head to head on the DStv platform, writes Glynnis Underhill.
Glynnis Underhill, Andisiwe Makinana
The only person involved in the scandal to keep his job is the man who censored President Jacob Zuma criticism.
Andisiwe Makinana, Glynnis Underhill
It has taken malicious rumours and a 'really ugly' row for the public broadcaster's acting head to get the chop.
The South African Broadcasting Corporation has released Hlaudi Motsoeneng as acting chief operating officer.
The SABC has been left red-faced over the loss of its planned 24-hour news channel on DStv after the well-connected Gupta family seized the gap.
The Gupta family has partnered with a mystery BEE player to grow media influence with a 24-hour channel on DStv and a prime-time slot on SABC.
SABC acting chief operating officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng supported the decision to drop a pre-recorded SABC3 interview with cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro.
Justine Limpitlaw, Kate Skinner
The SABC needs to get off its path of returning to being a state broadcaster and start committing itself to the public.
The national broadcaster can fulfil its mandate - and build on Zwelakhe Sisulu's legacy - if it is freed from narrow interests, writes Pippa Green.
Amid continued management turmoil at the SABC, its board has handed control of news, television, radio and sport to COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng.
The SABC's political reporters confronted Jimi Matthews in a tense meeting about an apparent decision to ban Julius Malema from its airwaves.
The state broadcaster's reporting sets a low bar and puts off viewers, who flock elsewhere, writes Gill Moodie.
The SABC board has decided to support Lulama Mokhobo's bid to view the news diary and stifle independent journalism.

AbstractThis paper describes the use of high-spatial-resolution ASTER data to determine the accuracy of the moderate- resolution MODIS active fire product. Our main objective was to develop a methodology to use ASTER data for quantitative evaluation of the MODIS active fire product and to apply it to fires in southern Africa during the 2001 burning season. We utilize 18 ASTER scenes distributed throughout the Southern Africa region covering the time period 5 August 2001 to 6 October 2001. The MODIS fire product is characterized through the use of logistic regression models to establish a relationship between the binary MODIS 'fire'/'no fire' product and summary statistics derived from ASTER data over the coincident MODIS pixel. Probabilities of detection are determined as a function of the total number of ASTER fires and Moran's I, a measure of the spatial heterogeneity of fires within the MODIS pixel. The statistical analysis is done for versions 3 and 4 of the MODIS fire-detection algorithm. It is shown that the algorithm changes have a positive effect on the fire-product accuracy.

Things to Do
Khan el-Khalili Bazaar
NileGuide Expert Says:
Khan el Khalili Bazaar is Egypt in microcosm – exotic, friendly, overwhelming and chaotic! Try the fateers at the Egyptian Pancake House next to Al Azhar street for an authentic taste of Egypt, and make sure you check out the many local markets that spiral out from the main part of Khan el Khalili bazaar.
User Rating:
Off Hussein Square
(Across from El Azhar Mosque)
11211 Cairo, Egypt
Established in the 14th Century, and in constant use since then, Khan al-Khalili (or more simply, The Khan) is Egypt at its most intoxicating. Cairo has always been an important trade centre, and this tradition continues today in the bustling maze of alleys that forms Khan al-Khalili Bazaar.
The Khan itself is relatively small, and is largely devoted to tourists. There are souvenirs here for every taste and budget: spices, jewellery, inlaid mother-of-pearl boxes and backgammon sets, water pipes, scarves, lamps, delicate perfume bottles (and the perfume to go in them)… you can even get yourself a singing, dancing camel!
Be warned, though, the traders here are black belts at haggling – so be firm, but maintain your sense of humour and enjoy the experience for what it is: the raucous, beating heart of commerce the old-school way.
When the banter gets too much, relax in
al-Fishawi Coffee Shop
with a water pipe and a strong Turkish coffee. This café has been open 24 hours a day since 1773, and Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz is said to have visited every day up to his death in 2006.
At the east end of the Khan is al-Hussein Square, home to the beautiful
al-Hussein Mosque
. The western end is bound by Muizz li-Din Allah Street. You can head north to
Bab al-Futuh
, past Islamic monuments such as
al-Aqmar Mosque
Beit al-Souhaymi
, or south towards
Bab Zwayla
and the
Street of the Tentmakers
. Leading west from Khan al-Khalili towards Ataba is al-Muski Street, a crazy local market that is well worth exploring.
To get to Khan al-Khalili Bazaar, take a taxi to
al-Azhar Mosque
and cross the road via the underpass. The more adventurous traveller can walk up to the bazaar from Ataba Metro station, along al-Muski.

Students from C. H. Terrell Academy welcome the 877th Engineering Company home after a year's deployment. (WRDW-TV / Dec. 12, 2011)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Dec. 12, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The men and women of the 877th Engineering Company are back on American soil and in the arms of their loved ones.
Supporters lined the streets of downtown Augusta to welcome them home as they made their way to the National Guard Armory to be reunited with friends and family.
Debbie Stockholm waited for her brother, Sgt. Richard Miller.
"I haven't seen him since December of last year, that's when they left," she said.
Ever since, she's been waiting for this moment.
"It's been hard for all of us just knowing that he's not around for the holidays and birthdays," she said.
In the formation that came down Milledge Road Monday afternoon was Stockholm's brother, Sgt. Miller.
"We are just glad to see him come home finally," Stockholm said.
With Afghanistan in the rear-view mirror, they marched into the National Guard Armory to cheers.
Seven thousand miles later, the soldiers were just feet and a presentation away from family.
"They were constantly in enemy contact, however, we got all of our 877th engineers back to Georgia," said Lt. Colonel Eduardo Granados of the 877th Engineering Company.
Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver thanked the men and women for their service.
Then, it was time to finally reunite and time for Stockholm's family to look for their two soldiers.
Sgt. Miller spotted his wife and son and then his brother-in-law spotted his wife.
"I missed everybody, especially my little man here. He grew a foot since I left, haven't you Luke?" Miller said.
Lt. Colonel Granados said being in the military is a very tough job.
"You get used it, you get used to the work load, you get used to the danger, but one thing you never get used to, though, is being away from your family," he said.
Two sisters thrilled to have their husbands and so are hundreds more. Christmas came early for these families.
Tuesday is the 375th Birthday for the National Guard, making it the country's oldest military organization.

US, Canada Urge New Safety Rules for Crude Oil Rail Shipments
From The New York Times
By Jad Mouawad
In a joint move that highlighted growing concerns about the safety of crude oil transportation by rail, officials from the United States and Canada issued a series of recommendations on Thursday, including that the trains avoid populated and sensitive areas.
The recommendations by the National Transportation Safety Board and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada follow a series of catastrophic accidents and derailments in the last year, including one that killed 47 people last July in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec.
Safety officials also urged regulators to make sure rail companies have the response resources to address a worst case, where a train's entire cargo is spilled. They also recommended an audit of shippers to make sure that hazardous cargo is properly classified.

Dallas County is adjusting its purchasing procedures, but one outsider thinks its structure should change
The Dallas County Commissioners Court will meet Tuesday to discuss a series of purchasing reforms following the indictment of Commissioner John Wiley Price. But one item won't be on the list: Changing the structure at the top.
To one observer, that's a mistake.
Cyd Grimes has been Travis County's purchasing agent for 22 years. For much of her time in office, she's heard rumors of questionable dealings in Dallas County. And she thinks the department's structure is a big reason why.
The problem, Grimes said, is that the purchasing agent in Dallas County reports directly to the Commissioners Court. Commissioners set the agent's salary, control her budget and can hire and fire her. (The agent job is currently vacant following the summer resignation of Shannon Brown. The department is being run in the interim by Gloria McColloch.)
The setup allows for a situation where commissioners can have too much influence on the procurement process, Grimes said. That seems to be the case in Dallas County, she said. Prosecutors allege that Price shared confidential documents with companies seeking county contracts. And the indictment says Price advocated for companies that paid him bribes.
The activities laid out in the indictment should have raised red flags, Grimes said. But if a purchasing agent were to speak out, she would have had to do it against her boss.
Grimes said she feels isolated from that kind of pressure in Travis County. That's in large part because she doesn't work directly for her Commissioners Court, she said. Commissioners approve purchases in Travis County, but they don't have direct oversight of her office. That is handled by an independent purchasing board made up of two commissioners and three district judges.
The setup makes Grimes feel safe denying a request that makes her feel uncomfortable, she said. And she can give stern warnings to commissioners to follow her process.
"Most people would say that they prefer to work under the board [instead of a commissioners court] because they don't feel threatened," she said.
And, Grimes said, most purchasing agents in big counties do work under boards. After the Price indictment, Grimes called around to her colleagues in other counties. Among the six biggest counties in Texas, only Dallas County doesn't have an independent purchasing board, she said.
For years, Dallas County did have an independent board. That changed in 2005, when the board was dissolved and oversight went straight to the Commissioners Court.
Commissioner Mike Cantrell was on the purchasing board and the Commissioners Court at that time. He said the decision was made because district judges had little interest in the purchasing process. They often didn't show up for meetings, making it difficult to have a quorum, he said.
Nearly a decade later, Cantrell is leading an effort to reduce the role of commissioners in the purchasing process. He says they should set the parameters for what they need to buy and then sign off on the final purchase. The work in the middle should be done without interference, he said.
But he said he stands by the current structure. County commissioners pay more attention to purchasing, so they will provide better oversight. Judges might simply approve things with a rubber stamp, he said.
Other county officials seem to agree. County Judge Clay Jenkins said he has inquired about the structure, but said a change is not a high priority. And no changes in structure are among the proposals being considered.
But Grimes said the county should think about adjusting. Dallas County's current system is clearly troubled, she said.
"It just set up a perfect structure for fraud, bribes and violations of public procurement rules and bast practices, she said.
