Edinboro advances to quarterfinals of PSAC tournament
EDINBORO -- Jay Fletcher took just one shot, and as it turned out, Edinboro took Mercyhurst's best shot Saturday at McComb Fieldhouse.
With the Fighting Scots trailing 60-58, Fletcher, the senior point guard who had to have blood below his right eye wiped away moments before, drained a 3-pointer with 36 seconds left to give Edinboro the lead. The Scots made two stops, and Fletcher's two free throws clinched a 65-60 PSAC playoff victory before a crowd of 302.
The Scots (18-9), who had gained home-court advantage for this game with a 71-59 victory over the Lakers (16-13) Wednesday, overcame an 11-point deficit to complete a three-game sweep of Mercyhurst.
Edinboro will visit top-seeded Indiana (Pa.) on Tuesday. The Crimson Hawks (21-5) beat the Scots twice in the regular season.
Fletcher finished with seven points and senior guard Isaiah Prince, who had 60 points in the first two games against the 'Hurst, was held to 13. That meant junior forward and long-range specialist Johnathan Logan had to step up, and he did with a career-high 21 points, including 5-of-12 3-pointers.
"They were face-guarding Jay and Prince, and it gave me the opportunities to score baskets," Logan said of his former teammates at Community College of Beaver County. "It's the playoffs, and I don't want to go home. I had to step up, and give credit to my teammates for the rebounds at the end of the game. It was a total team effort."
The Scots committed 13 turnovers, including five straight in the first half, when Fletcher was head-butted below his right eye and left with the game tied at 17-17. Mercyhurst led 35-28 at the half.
Lakers star forward Luis Leao, whose fine career came to an end with a 23-point effort, and sophomore guard Terrence Ingram, who finished with 14 points, propelled the Lakers to a 45-34 advantage before Logan connected on consecutive 3s.
The Scots tied it 52-52 on Logan's 25-footer with 6 minutes, 12 seconds to play. The game was tied three times before Lakers sophomore guard Callon Dailey hit a fadeaway with 58 seconds left for a 60-58 lead.
Fletcher, who began bleeding again moments before, returned for his heroics.
"Ingram was on me the whole time, and wouldn't let me get open, and I just got one bit of daylight, got a screen from Prince, and had one big shot and it went in," Fletcher said of his first and only shot.
"Jay got free, he stayed with it, and (he) understands the game,'' Edinboro coach Greg Walcavich said. "And when he got open at the end, his teammates wanted him to shoot it."
Lakers junior guard Keith Ellington, playing in place of Jonathan Ouegnin, who had fouled out, missed a jumper, and Edinboro's Bobby Davis rebounded. Prince made two free throws to make it 63-60 with 15 seconds left
"They were trying to get me the ball inside, but I was double-teamed and denying the ball," Leao said.
Edinboro intentionally fouled Ellington, who missed the front end of a 1-and-1, and Fletcher cinched the win with two free throws with 6 seconds to play.
"Coach kept telling us that if we stop turning the ball over, and start getting stops, we can turn around the game,'' Fletcher said of the comeback.
Mercyhurst coach Gary Manchel said his team gave it all but just could not get over the hump this season against the Scots.
"We were right there, did everything we wanted to do, and for the most part played really well," Manchel said. "Losing Jonathan to fouls really hurt and left us with other guys who haven't got it done in the past, but I couldn't ask for more from them."
Walcavich has the opportunity to ask for more from his club in the playoffs for the first time in four seasons.
"I'm sure IUP has their game plan ready right now, but to keep on going, I'm not complaining," Walcavich said.

Esperanza Rising
by Pam Muñoz Ryan
Character Role Analysis
Tío Luis and Papa
Tío Luis's evilness makes Papa's goodness look even, well, good-er. (Just like a good foil should do, Tío Luis highlights Papa's most important characteristics.) Tío Luis is stingy, greedy and mean; plus, he doesn't have any family because he cares more about money and power than he does about people. What a difference from Papa, who generously gives land away to his employees and showers his family with love and affection. When evil Luis tries to take Papa's place, putting his feet on Papa's desk, wearing Papa's belt buckle, and even trying to marry Papa's wife, it's definitely creepy. He's like the anti-Papa.
Mama and Hortensia
Esperanza helps us out a bit on this one. Toward the beginning of the novel, she observes that Hortensia and Mama are physical opposites. Hortensia is a Zapotec Indian from Oaxaca, with a short and solid figure and long, dark hair that she wears in a braid down her back. Mama, on the other hand, is tall and elegant. She has light skin and wears her hair in a braided crown. The two women's differing appearances make us focus on their differing social stations, too. (Check out "Character Clues" for more on this.)
The United States and Mexico
Yep, you heard us right. Places can be foils for one another, too, and Esperanza Rising is constantly contrasting two locations: Mexico and the United States. The differences between the two countries highlight each of their unique characteristics—thank you, foils!
Mexico, Esperanza's homeland, is a place of great social inequality. A few lucky people, like Esperanza's family, live with great privilege and wealth, while most people are poor. Esperanza describes the divide between these two groups as an uncrossable river, because those born as servants will never be able to cross over to the side of the wealthy. Even getting a job in Mexico requires special connections—a "lever," as Miguel puts it. The United States, on the other hand, is imagined as the land of opportunity where anyone can earn a living and achieve their dreams if they just work hard enough.
This comparison is complicated when Esperanza's crew gets to the U.S. and finds out that racial discrimination, corruption, and injustice are problems there, too. But Miguel never backs down in his belief in the American Dream.

Updates from the Autism Treatment Network Registry: What Do We Know About Medical Issues in Autism?
Guest Blogger: Nancy Jones, Autism Speaks ATN/CTN program director
Since its inception, IMFAR has been pivotal in promoting interest in autism research and disseminating findings. These have included findings from treatment studies and interdisciplinary research networks such as ACE, STAART and CPEA. The Autism Treatment Network (ATN) is a unique network that seeks to improve care for families and can serve as a platform for research. The ATN maintains a patient registry that had grown to over 2100 children who are seen for clinical care at the 14 ATN centers across the U.S. and Canada
The ATN reported new findings from its database on the use of psychotropic drugs, use of complementary and alternative medicine approaches, sleep and GI disorders. On Saturday, the ATN led an Invited Educational Symposium on medical co-morbidities. Chaired by Autism Speaks vice president of Clinical Programs, Clara Lajonchere, the panel featured presentations by George Fuchs, M.D. (GI specialist from UAMS; chair of the GI committee), Beth Malow, M.D. (sleep specialist from Vanderbilt University, chair of the sleep committee), Sarah Spence, M.D. (NIMH neurologist and external advisor to the ATN) and ATN Medical Director Dan Coury, M.D.
(View study abstracts and search "ATN" to find the four posters/presentations, learn more about the educational symposium and to see other work based on data from individual ATN sites.)
There are a number of key themes that emerged from the discussion of the findings:
- Rates of GI dysfunction (45%), sleep problems (65%), and psychopharm use (27%) in ASD from the ATN database are consistent with previous research and reports from clinical practice. This provides further confirmation to the need to continuing pursuing treatment and care standards for the issues.
- The diagnostic and treatment algorithms ("decision trees" to guide physician diagnosis and treatment decisions) that are currently being piloted in the ATN will become the basis for guidelines that can be shared broadly amongst treating physicians, in partnership with professional medical societies. This could be a model for other developmental disorders.
- While not a research network, the ATN is poised to address research directly relevant to clinical care and treatment. Dr. Coury described six on-going studies including a randomized controlled trial of a sleep intervention, a large scale study of nutritional status, and recently launched studies on iron status and metabolism, bone density in children with ASD, the relation of sleep and psychiatric comorbidities, and identification of a specific metabolic disorder (creatine deficiency).
- In all the areas, there is still a great need for additional evidence to support the development of evidence-based standards. But findings to date help us several ways:
- Presentations of these findings at meetings like IMFAR and at professional meetings such as NASPGHAN (GI), SLEEP, and the Pediatric Academic Society are helping raise awareness about these issues, and are informative for specialists with little knowledge or experience caring for children with ASD.
- They also guide us towards key areas to pursue to support improvements in treatment and care: characterizing the nature of these medical disorders as they manifest in children with ASD; conducting large controlled trials of single treatments; doing comparative effectiveness research to determine relative effectiveness of different types of treatment, taking advantage of large datasets (such as ATN as well as genetic databases); disseminating our best evidence to the practicing physician community.
There is great hope in what can be done through the continued collaboration of clinicians, medical specialists, researchers and families. As Dr. Coury remarked, "We may face challenges, but the ATN is currently the only bi-national, multi-site care network of this type for autism. The power of this network is its members – not just the member hospitals and clinicians, but also the family and professional communities to which they are connected." The contribution of each of our partners is essential to ensuring that top of the line care and the utmost respect is always given to ATN patients.

How the Autism Treatment Network Helped My Son
This is a guest post by Judith Ursitti. Judith is Regional Director of State Advocacy Relations at Autism Speaks and has been involved in advocacy since her son Jack's autism diagnosis almost five years ago.
By now Jack and I had grown accustomed to the routine.
You hear of an excellent doctor. You absolutely must get in to see them. You call to make an appointment. Wait for months and months and months. Finally get there. Sit in the lobby, clipboard on your lap, writing down medical history and group i.d.'s.
Jack screams for a few moments as you wait. People stare. We follow the nurse to the back. Answer questions. Show said doctor that you are a pro at shouldering the reality of it all.
Chin up. Head home.
Empty handed…
Not quite two years ago, Jack and I had another one of what I thought would be one of those appointments. One filled with all the can'ts and doesn'ts..
But this was our first visit to an Autism Treatment Network (ATN) site.
I picked Jack up early from school that day and we made the appointment on time. We sat in the lobby of the LADDERS Clinic with the clipboard. Jack screamed for a few minutes and then bounced up on down on the chair by the window.
And then the nurse led us back.
And we met Dr. Margaret Bauman.
And Dr. B was enamored.. "This guy is different!" she declared.
She drilled me with questions, which I answered rather typically I thought. But Jack's behavior set the tone. He loved Dr. B. He flirted with Dr. B.
We spent well over hour with Dr. B. She didn't just focus on his deficits. True, he was nonverbal. True, he wasn't pointing yet.
"His social referencing… it's beautiful!" she declared.
She prodded him patiently from head to toe. Took notes. Contemplated what might be going on with him. Why he wasn't talking to us. Why his autism remained so severe.
And then she gave me a plan. (I've learned since then, that's what they do at an ATN site. They don't just think about the brain. They think about the whole body.)
Dr. B. ordered blood work for the routine genetic testing. But Dr. B also wanted to make sure Jack wasn't having G.I. issues, so she referred us to the ATN gastroenterologist. Allergies can really be an issue for kids with ASD, so she referred us to their allergist. We discussed sensory issues. Since he was nonverbal, we talked about different types of augmentative communication devices. She talked to me about Jack's occasional sleep issues and we devised a plan to address them.
I must confess that at that very moment, as we worked on Jack's treatment plan, I allowed it to creep in. That provocative, luxurious sensation called
I've always felt so connected to Jack. Engaged. Sometimes it's hard to for others to see, but there is a sparkle there.
Normally when Jack is being evaluated or examined, we only hear words like "challenged" or "severe."
But Dr. B didn't use those words. To the contrary, she recognized the sparkle right away.
As I pushed the glass door open and we walked out into the parking lot, a fistful of lab-slips in-hand, I felt a new spring in my step.
Careful, I thought to myself … Remember, the Dr. B really doesn't have any answers.
I elected to savor the moment.
Jack smiled and jumped into a puddle, giggling as we headed to the car.
Two years later, I'm happy to report that Jack remains a patient at LADDERS. He started talking to us about six months ago. His favorite phrase at the moment: "No way…"
The ATN (an initiative of Autism Speaks) is the nation's first network of hospitals and physicians dedicated to developing a model of comprehensive medical care for children and adolescents with autism. The ATN offers families care from doctors highly experienced in helping individuals with autism and providing treatment for associated conditions such as gastrointestinal and sleep disorders. ATN doctors are dedicated to finding better ways to manage the health of children with autism and sharing their increasing knowledge across the wider medical community. In particular, the ATN is dedicated to developing better ways to identify, manage and treat the physical health conditions of children with autism. And as treatments for these conditions become better defined and recognized, it is the aim of the ATN to see insurers routinely recognize the autism diagnosis and cover physical health treatment.
"Rest assured, you have the attention of the President and the White House"
"Rest assured, you have the attention of the President and the White House"
My first meeting as a public member of the IACC
By Geri Dawson, Chief Science Officer
Last Friday was my first meeting as a public member of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC). It was a particularly momentous meeting for the IACC because, for the first time, Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), attended the meeting along with two colleagues from DHHS, Howard Koh, Assistant Secretary for Health, and Henry Claypool, Director, Office on Disability. In addition, two representatives from the White House, Michael Strautmanis, Chief of Staff to the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Engagement, and Kareem Dale, Special Assistant to the President for Disability Policy, attended the meeting. Moreover, Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health, addressed the IACC. It was an auspicious beginning to my experience on this committee, to be sure.
The Secretary began by welcoming five new members to the IACC, which included Gerald Fischbach from the Simons Foundation, Marjorie Solomon from the MIND Institute at UC Davis, Ari Ne'Eman from the Autism Self-Advocacy Network, Denise Resnik from the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center, and me, representing Autism Speaks. Secretary Sebelius began by telling the committee members that we "need to leverage all of our assets" and "work together across all agencies" to address the "alarming increase in autism rates" as well the need for "top notch research and services." She promised that she will be taking very seriously the recommendations that come from the IACC. She told the committee, "Rest assured, you have the attention of the President and the White House." Kareem Dale reiterated these themes, remarking that the White House's goal and mission are to give autism issues the "highest level of attention."
These encouraging remarks were followed by those of Dr. Collins, who also previously served as the Director of the NIH Genome Institute and the Human Genome Project. He began by stressing the need to understand the causes of autism and ways of preventing and treating this challenging condition. "I get the sense of urgency," Collins remarked, a point he said was especially made clear to him during an earlier meeting he held this year with parents and members of autism advocacy groups. "Parents are never happier than their saddest child," he remarked, "and if we can help with our resources, that's what we want to do." He noted that the IACC is distinguished among other government committees by its membership and activism, a fact that reflects the passion and urgency of the autism community. Dr. Collins shared his enthusiasm for the important role of genetics in the discovery of causes and treatments for autism, noting in particular, the exciting results of the Novartis clinical trial that was featured on the front page of last Friday's New York Times. He stated that he didn't think that the whole story is DNA, however, and that environmental factors and their interaction with genetic factors play key roles in understanding the causes of autism. In this regard, he described the National Children's Study, a huge NIH effort to follow 100,000 children from conception through adulthood to discover how environmental exposures are influencing children's health outcomes. He explained that autism is one of the stronger reasons for investing in this expensive effort. He also noted that research on behavioral interventions for ASD continue to be important. The necessity to avoid conservatism in the types of grants NIH funds, especially during hard economic times, was highlighted. Collins encouraged "out of the box" ideas that can open new perspectives and directions for autism research. He ended by again expressing his awareness of the great suffering that is experienced by many people with autism spectrum disorders and their families, ending with a quote from Winston Churchill – "If you are going through hell, keep going." "Let's all keep going," he urged the IACC members, "because on the other side, there will be more understanding and more hope."
I had the pleasure of giving the first talk after Dr. Collins. I reported on the activities and achievements of Autism Speaks' Autism Treatment Network (ATN). I described the goals of the ATN, which include improving access and quality of medical care for children with ASD, developing evidence-based treatment guidelines, providing clinician training in the medical treatment of ASD, and conducting research on medical treatments. I described the network of 14 academic centers that comprise the ATN, which provides care for over 5,000 children (with over 2,000 now part of the ATN patient registry). Based on data collected through the registry, I described the common kinds of medical issues that many children with ASD face, including GI problems, sleep disturbances, neurological conditions, among others. I also described the vision for the ATN, which is to increase the number of centers nationwide, improve quality of care through training and guideline development, and provide empirical support for novel and effective treatments for ASD. After my presentation, several people remarked that they were not previously aware of the extent to which medical conditions affect the quality of life for individuals with ASD. To read more about the other presentations at last Friday's IACC meeting, click here.
It is an honor to serve people with autism and their families on the IACC. I will do my best to represent all those who are suffering because of autism. My first charge will be to do everything I can to persuade our government to keep the promises made at Friday's meeting of the IACC.
What Does Genetics Have to Do with Treatment?
Finding appropriate treatments for autism is a challenge for families and clinicians alike. While behavioral treatments are an effective mainstay of therapeutic approaches, many individuals with autism benefit from the addition of medicinal interventions, particularly for problem behaviors, severe self-injury, and disruptive repetitive behaviors. A major impediment to finding effective treatment regimens is the fact that individual responses to the same medicine can vary greatly due to genetic background. Finding the most effective dose with the fewest side effects means slowly trying various doses, and possibly having to switch medicines. This is not only a challenge for the physician, but is also a confounding factor in large-scale clinical trials that aim to determine the overall effectiveness of a medication.
5|25: Celebrating Five Years of Autism Science Day 23: Gastroenterology consensus recommendations provide recognition of the need for specialized approaches to GI problems in children with autism
In honor of the anniversary of Autism Speaks' founding on Feb 25, for the next 25 days we will be sharing stories about the many significant scientific advances that have occurred during our first five years together. Our 23rd item, Gastroenterology consensus recommendations provide recognition of the need for specialized approaches to GI problems in children with autism, is adapted from a 2009 press release.
Gastrointestinal (GI) problems are a commonly expressed concern of parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but families have often found it difficult to find appropriate care for these issues. In December 2009, a consensus statement and recommendations for the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders in children with ASD were published in Pediatrics. These recommendations are an important step in advancing physician awareness of the unique challenges in the medical management of children with autism and will be a prelude towards the development of evidence-based guidelines that will standardize care for all children with ASD. The reports highlighted the crucial need for information to guide care, and emphasized the critical importance of fostering more research in this area, including genetic research, to support the development of these guidelines.
"The Pediatrics paper represents long-sought recognition by the mainstream medical community that treatment of GI problems in children with autism requires specific and specialized approaches," reacted Dr. Dawson. "Autism Speaks has been actively engaged in the study of GI problems associated with children with autism, working toward enhanced medical community awareness for over five years through its research agenda and the Autism Speaks' Autism Treatment Network (ATN). Dan Coury, M.D., ATN medical director, commented, "We are delighted to see the publication of important information that can support clinicians and caregivers in providing better care for children with autism, particularly with GI concerns, as parents unfortunately very often find it difficult to identify physicians who have an understanding of these issues and are able to provide appropriate medical care for their children. GI and pediatric specialists from six of the ATN sites participated in the forum and in the development of these recommendations, which shows the power of interaction among the communities and individuals dedicated to this problem. Autism Speaks is already engaged in the crucial next step which is to move beyond these consensus-based recommendations to develop evidence-based clinical guidelines." In addition to development of evidence-based clinical guidelines for GI issues, the ATN is also currently working on evidence based clinical guidelines for medical management of sleep, and neurologic disorders associated with autism. "Delivery of evidence-based clinical guidelines will serve as excellent opportunities for future training and education of physicians," added Dr. Dawson.
The consensus statement highlights several important themes, the first emphasizing that GI problems are a genuine concern in the ASD population and that these disorders exacerbate or contribute to problem behaviors. The need for awareness of how GI problems manifest in children with autism and the potential for accompanying nutritional complications and impaired quality of life were also emphasized.
In the second paper, the authors make consensus recommendations providing guidance on how current general pediatric standards of care that can and should be applied for children with ASD. George Fuchs, M.D., a co-author on the two papers and chair of the ATN GI Committee remarked, "The recommendations provide important guidance for the clinician to adapt the current practices of care (for abdominal pain, chronic constipation and gastroesophageal reflux) for the child with autism. The recommendations from the Autism Forum meeting complement the ATN's on-going work to develop evidence-based, ASD-specific guidelines. The ATN is currently piloting newly created guidelines and monitoring their effectiveness. We anticipate this data will contribute to an evidence-based foundation to support best practices for GI problems in ASD."
Autism Speaks is committed to the sustained support of efforts that address co-morbid medical conditions in the ASD population. In recognizing that there's not enough evidence in any GI area and more research is needed, the Pediatric papers reaffirm the importance of the recent November 2009, Autism Speaks sponsored symposium and workshop on Gastrointestinal Disorders in Autism Spectrum Disorders. The symposium and workshop represented an important partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) – the largest professional society for GI and nutritional specialists, and a professional authority for the development and implementation of pediatric GI guidelines. The symposium raised awareness and provided the latest scientific information to an audience of 168 researchers, clinicians, and pediatric GI and nutrition specialists, most of whom had limited expertise in autism. The symposium was followed by a workshop that brought together a diverse group of experts in GI, nutrition, pediatrics, pain, ASD, and biological research. Recommendations were developed for an expanded and targeted research agenda for the field that will address current gaps in the knowledge base and aim to advance evaluation and treatment of ASD-GI disorders. Proceedings from the meeting are scheduled to be published in 2010. A unique and important element in both the Symposium and Workshop was the inclusion of parents of children with ASD.
Did you know?: Autism Speaks' Autism Treatment Network (ATN) is developing evidence-based guidelines that will provide specific guidance to physicians on how to address a number of medical issues of concern for children with ASD. The ATN is currently piloting a GI guideline algorithm (decision flow charts) for the assessment and treatment of constipation, and a sleep guideline algorithm for insomnia. The ATN is also working on guidelines in the areas of psychopharmacology and neurology. For more information on ATN guideline activities, please see www.autismspeaks.org/airp.
On the Release of the GI Consensus Statement and Recommendations in Pediatrics: The ATN's role in Moving from Consensus to Evidence
The release today of the consensus statements and recommendations for the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders in Pediatrics provides much needed guidance to clinicians and practitioners involved in the care of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the recognition, evaluation, and management of abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Given the difficulties some children with ASD experience in communicating pain or discomfort, these recommendations mark an important step to understand and characterize the manifestation of gastrointestinal complaints in these children. They also serve to bring order to the diagnostic and treatment procedures for parents and physicians. While the expert recommendations break new ground, we anticipate that they are a prelude towards the development of evidence-based guidelines that will standardize care for all children with ASD.
Several of the authors on these two papers, including myself, are pediatric gastroenterologists as well as active members of the GI Committee of Autism Speaks' Autism Treatment Network (ATN). Through the ATN GI Committee and the federally-sponsored Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (AIR-P), the ATN is turning consensus-based recommendations into ASD-specific clinical evaluation and treatment algorithms. These will be based on data (where it exists) and guidelines for pediatric GI conditions for neurotypical children that we modify for children with ASD, supplemented by expert opinion that supports the effectiveness of the recommended procedures.
The ATN is working closely with the National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ) (http://www.nichq.org/), an organization recognized as expert in pediatric guideline development. Together, we are in progress of piloting of the first developed algorithm which is for the evaluation and treatment of constipation at several ATN member sites. The data we collect from this pilot work and subsequent broad implementation across ATN sites will eventually contribute to the development of evidence-based guidelines. The ATN is a highly unique resource in this effort, in part because of the ATN Registry which collects and analyzes data on over 1700 ATN children with ASD.
The eventual development of ASD-specific evaluation and treatment algorithms for GI disorders and other conditions that trouble children with ASD means that physicians and other care providers who use these algorithms will have greater clarity on the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of these conditions. For families, these algorithms will provide confidence that a chosen course of action is based on careful testing in clinical practice and greatly increase the likelihood of successful identification and management of their children.
For the time being and until the availability of the ATN evaluation and treatment algorithms, parents are urged to let their children's doctors know about the release of the important consensus statements and recommendations on-line in Pediatrics so that that they might be applied to their child's care.
George J. Fuchs, M.D.Dr Fuchs is Professor of Pediatrics, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Medical Director, Gastroenterology, Arkansas Children's Hospital. He is a member of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, (NASPGHAN), and is the Chair of the Gastroenterology Committee of the Autism Treatment Network.

Seems pathetic that we can't get at least one of the West Midlands teams, and that isn't just Villa and Blues either, in the top half of the table. What is wrong with Midlands football ?.
Arrrrrgggghhhh! Right!.... bottom three in January is not just bad luck as GH says....we are sh*te at the moment, toothless, benign, soft, etc.
And what the hell was McAllister going on about yesterday? He said that there isn't a lot that needs doing at Villa it just needs "tinkering" a bit !!

Statement from USDA Agricultural Research Service
Spokesperson Sandy Miller Hays on Dow Jones Story Titled
"Hog Farmers Overuse Antibiotics, Government Data Show"
On March 16, 2011, a Dow Jones story titled "Hog Farmers Overuse Antibiotics, Government Data Show" was filed regarding testimony of USDA Agricultural Research Service Administrator Edward B. Knipling before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies. Below is a statement from ARS spokesperson Sandy Miller Hays to provide greater clarity on the Administrator's remarks before Congress.
"It was reported in the media on March 16 that during testimony before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies, Dr. Edward B. Knipling, administrator of USDA's Agricultural Research Service, said that American swine producers are overusing antibiotics in their herds, and that may be creating antibiotic-resistant bacteria that pose a threat to human health.
"However, a review of the transcript of the hearing shows that Dr. Knipling never said that swine producers were overusing antibiotics in the herds. Dr. Knipling did say, in an answer to questions about the use of antibiotics in swine production, that '…the issue is the fairly widespread use of this is leading to resistance of these pathogens, which also then have implications for human health.'
"The media report also states that Dr. Knipling told the panel that 'data collected by USDA and the CDC show there is a problem that could be exposing Americans to bacteria like E. coli and Campylobacter that have become resistant to antibiotics.'
"The transcript shows that Dr. Knipling stated that USDA was collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and the private sector on monitoring antibiotic use in livestock production, particularly in swine, but he did not mention E. coli or Campylobacter in any of his comments. In fact, the monitoring on swine conducted by USDA-ARS does not include E. coli or Campylobacter. ARS monitoring of antimicrobial resistance is conducted as part of a longstanding program, the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS), in conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration and the CDC.
"Dr. Knipling's statement as recorded in the transcript is 'Some of that data and trends show that the resistance is not developing to the extent as otherwise might be portrayed. In other instances, yes. It depends on the antibiotics themselves, the type, and the animal, and the whole combination of factors.'"

This series consists of talks in the area of Condensed Matter.
Many of the topological insulators, in their naturally
available form are not insulating in the bulk. It has been shown that some of these metallic compounds,
become superconductor at low enough temperature and the nature of their
superconducting phase is still widely debated. In this talk I show that even
the s-wave superconducting phase of doped topological insulators, at low
doping, is different from ordinary s-wave superconductors and goes through a
topological phase transition to an ordinary s-wave state by increasing the
The existence of three generations of neutrinos and their mass mixing is a deep mystery of our universe. Majorana's elegant work on the real solution of Dirac equation predicted the existence of Majorana particles in our nature, unfortunately, these Majorana particles have never been observed. In this talk, I will begin with a simple 1D condensed matter model which realizes a T^2=-1time reversal symmetry protected superconductors and then discuss the physical property of its boundary Majorana zero modes.
Utilizing a variety and also
constraints offered by quantum and solid
state chemistry, we discuss
possibilities of unconventional quantum
magnetism and superconductivity
in doped 3 dimensional Mott insulators.
Some of the possibilities are
quantum spin liquid states having pseudo
fermi surface coexisting with
long range magnetic order, 3 dimensional
emergent gauge fields and
unconventional superconducting order parameter
Recent advances in analytical theory and numerical methods
enable some long-standing questions about transport in one dimension to be
answered; these questions are closely related to transport experiments in
quasi-1D compounds. The spinless fermion chain with nearest-neighbor
interactions at half-filling, or equivalently the XXZ model in zero magnetic
field, is an example of an integrable system in which no conventional conserved
quantity forces dissipationless transport (Drude weight); we show that there is
this talk, I will construct a symmetry protected topological phase of bosons in
3d with particle number conservation and time reversal symmetries, which is the
direct bosonic analogue of the familiar electron topological insulator. The
construction employs a parton decomposition of bosons, followed by condensation
of parton-monopole composites. The surface of the resulting state supports a
gapped symmetry respecting phase with intrinsic toric code topological order
where both e and m anyons carry charge 1=2.
In the first part of my talk I describe a search for
possible quantum spin liquid ground states for spin S=1 Heisenberg models on
the triangular lattice which was motivated by recent experiments on
Ba3NiSb2O9. We use representation of
spin-1 via three flavors of fermionic spinon operators. The ground state where
one gapless flavor of spinons with a Fermi surface coexists with d+id
topological pairing of the two other flavors can explain available experimental
Quantum number fractionalization is a remarkable property
of topologically ordered states of matter, such as fractional quantum Hall
liquids, and quantum spin liquids. For a given type of topological order, there
are generally many ways to fractionalize the quantum numbers of a given
symmetry. What does it mean to have different types of fractionalization? Are
different types of fractionalization a universal property that can be used to
distinguish phases of matter? In this talk, I will answer these questions,
In this talk we will discuss both the one-photon and
two-photon switching mechanisms in hybrid nanomaterials made from two or more
semiconductor, metallic and optical nanostructures. The most prominent examples
of these nanostructures are graphene, semiconductor quantum dots, metallic
nanoparticles, and photonic and polaritonic crystals. Advances in nanoscience
have allowed for the construction of these new classes of hybrid nanomaterials.
Optical excitations in semiconductor nanostructures are electron-hole pairs
Since the quantum Hall effect, the notion of topological
phases of matter has been extended to those that are well-defined (or:
``protected'') in the presence of a certain set of
symmetries, and that exist in dimensions higher than two. In the (fractional)
quantum Hall effects (and in ``chiral'' topological phases in general),
Laughlin's thought experiment provides a key insight into their topological
characterization; it shows a close connection between topological phases and
quantum anomalies.
I will present a density-matrix renormalization group
(DMRG) study of the S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice to
identify the conjectured spin liquid ground state. Exploiting SU(2) spin
symmetry, which allows us to keep up to 16,000 DMRG states, we consider
cylinders with circumferences up to 17 lattice spacings and find a spin liquid
ground state with an estimated per site energy of -0.4386(5), a spin gap of
0.13(1), very short-range decay in spin, dimer and chiral correlation functions

LAFAYETTE -- What do you do, when you discover J. Robert Oppenheimer, the famous physicist you believe would make a terrific subject for a book, has already been exhaustively profiled by countless nonfiction science writers and historians?
Confronted with that dilemma, a Kensington author wrote about three women who lived with him, moved him and got lost in the shadows of his limelight.
Historical fiction and nonfiction author Shirley Streshinsky, along with Patricia Klaus, a and Petaluma-based researcher and expert in women's studies and war history, bring their voluminous energy to "An Atomic Love Story: The Extraordinary Women in Robert Oppenheimer's
Life" to the Lafayette Library and Learning Center for a Jan. 16 "Sweet Thursday" event.
The deeply-researched book plumbs the lives of Kitty Harrison (Oppenheimer's wife), Jean Tatlock (his great love) and Ruth Sherman Tolman (a colleague).
Prospecting for golden nuggets -- hoping to shine fresh light on the mercurial, adventuresome scientist's biographical whys and wherefores -- the two women turned their focus to Oppenheimer's most intimate relationships.
Readers in the Bay Area are particularly fascinated, with strong ties between Oppenheimer and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and UC Berkeley (where he was a physics professor), the authors say. But interest in the book spans the globe.
"The most joyful part is opening doors and making the people alive," Klaus says.
Three months after their book's publication, Streshinsky and Klaus participated in separate, back-to-back interviews.
"I've been fascinated with Oppenheimer for 30 years," Streshinsky confesses. "I heard one of his last speeches at Berkeley. Thousands of people showed up and I didn't understand anything he said, but I understood I was watching history."
Oppenheimer, who famously changed the lives of every generation after his own by helping launch the world into the Atomic Age, captured the imagination of Klaus, too. But it was the women surrounding him who drew her in.
"We had to address these women as pioneers," Klaus says, "women trying to have a profession and a personal life. It would be lovely to say that's an issue that's over with, but it's not."
Interestingly, Klaus says the book's modern-day appeal to women struggling to combine marriage, children and career is no greater than its appeal to male readers she and Streshinsky encounter at book signings.
"At readings, men have been asking most of the questions," Klaus said. "They enjoy the sense of the time, learning another aspect of Oppenheimer -- and they like the counterintelligence people."
Streshinsky has discovered a surprising, personal connection to the FBI surveillance and anti-communist aggression coloring the lives of their book's characters and intriguing readers. Her late husband Ted came to Berkeley from China on a Soviet passport. "After he died, I got the FBI's file on him. It was 1,000 pages. A lot of the agents that were following Robert were following my husband," she says. That subject, spying on civilians, is likely to become the focus of her next writing project.
As for their current subject, "Our own Bay Area contains rich resources for any Oppenheimer study," they write in their acknowledgements chapter. UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library and Stanford's Hoover Institute, along with a crowd of scholars, family members and colleagues with Bay Area connections, were essential.
"If you do historical fiction, (you) get to make up things," Streshinsky says, "but we decided we would have everything sourced."
The women admit, there were occasions when they disagreed, but working
together has helped make them close friends. "We both knew how it would work. My background is writing, hers is research. It was a treasure hunt -- we had to fill in the gaps. She'd call and ask if I was sitting down and I'd know it would be exciting," says Streshinsky.
"An Atomic Love Story" carries underlying messages about the female characters' sexuality and intellect. The 1920s, like the 1960s, was a time of sexual experimentation. "Freud was starting and this was a social class that dealt with these issues" of lesbianism, marital fidelity and whether men can have a close, non-sexual relationships with women, Streshinsky says.
Klaus says the mid-1920s into the 1950s was "a male world" and admits, exploring the women's intellectual lives was challenging, due to the dearth of material. Like Streshinsky, she's found the kernel of her next subject in the groundwork of Oppenheimer's time. The discovery of fusion in 1938 is both adventure tale and science, she suggests, describing a work encompassing United States counterintelligence, German atomic bombs, moral ambiguity in the scientific realm and more.
"Unfortunately, I can find only one woman to include," Klaus says.
Even so, it's likely the two women will collaborate beyond the current book tour, and when they do, another window will, undoubtedly, open.

I had a similar experience to Joelle M. To make a long story short, I lived in a place almost a year and they tried to charge me around $1600 in 'damages'. I called their fraud on each and every account and got it down to $0. It took a lot of work and documented photos, but I was not going to be taken for a ride. One time, they even sent me lease information on another tenant. Is that how protected my information is? I am more than willing to help anybody out with issues they may be having with MyHomeSpot. They should not be in business and I hope posting experiences helps others stay away from them.

Autodesk Introduces 3ds Max 2010
Autodesk, Inc.(NASDAQ: ADSK) has introduced Autodesk 3ds Max 2010 software - the latest version of its 3D modeling, animation and rendering product – offering nearly 350 additional features. The 2010 release provides innovative creative tools: a render-quality viewport display and at least 100 new Graphite modeling tools. It also offers powerful new capabilities that help artists manage complex scenes with greater ease and an unprecedented level of support for software interoperability and pipeline integration.
Artists have used 3ds Max to create numerous award-winning entertainment projects, such as "Fallout 3," "Prince of Persia" and "Gears of War 2."
"3ds Max 2010 is a feature-packed release that has generated a lot of excitement in the 3D community," said Marc Petit, Autodesk senior vice president, Media & Entertainment. "This version will help artists work faster than ever before, so they can explore more ideas, push boundaries, and create stunning work in less time.
"Jeff Hanna, senior technical artist at Volition, is a 3ds Max 2010 beta tester. His favorite new feature in the 2010 release is the xView mesh analyzer. "3ds Max 2010 software's powerful xView mesh analyzer will make it easier for us to ensure that every asset our artists create is correct and game ready," said Hanna. "The xView technology can quickly identify missing UVW coordinates, overlapping vertices, or open edges, among other things. With this tool, we won't have to worry about bad game data due to invalid geometry."

Yes. But you would onyl create an EA of that type when your specific

True it is not too easy to design the EAs of an file right - but what

You will start finding the right EA type using one of the standard

That is the trick to have different EAs with different types. Type and
lengh fields lets you go over EAs you knows nothing about. Defining
you own type can help you to hide some information frm other apps.

Three months after his untimely death, legendary actor Sherman Hemsley still has not been buried.
Hemsley died on July 24, however, according to a funeral home employee Hemsley remains at the San Jose Funeral Home in El Paso, Texas.
The funeral home claims they are waiting for a court order to find out what to do with his body.
In August, reports surfaced that his best friend & "business partner," Flora Enchinton, and his alleged brother, Richard Thornton, were fighting over his estate which is worth a reported $50,000.
Now a another man, Reverend Michael George Wells, claims he is the cousin of Hemsley and says he and his family are entitled to a piece of Hemsley's estate. Wells says the other parties claiming to be relatives or close to Hemsley are illegitimate.
"What the media needs to know is that Sherman Hemsley's body being in the refrigerator for this amount of time is unnecessary and uncalled for. He could have been buried with his family within a week or ten days of his passing," Wells told a news outlet.
Wells also believes Hemsley's estate is worth more than $50,000, saying the reported value is incorrect.
Until the various parties are able to settle their dispute, Hemsley will remain unburied.
A representative for Hemsley has yet to comment on the story.

7 thoughts on "Sherman Hemsley Still Not Buried Three Months After Death"
That is so SAD, and terrible, that people would be so cold hearted, and money grubbing, to do someone like that; and he was suppose to be their loved one?
For him, I am truly hurt because that's all they think of him, that he can't even rest in peace.
I wonder if he even liked them gold diggers! Probably didn't
Talk about loosing sight of what's most important. This is a mess..
That's way it's very,very important in the Black community to get Wills prepared.! Make out Living Trust, get Life Insurance for your families that way you're not sitting in limbo, instead of Resting in Peace!!!
You said it for sure it is all about GREED once people die and cannot speak for themselves
Why do ppl fight over things like this when it's not left to you "Greed"
WHAT??!! Sherman Hensley's body is still in a funeral home??
Where is all The Money He earned? Only $50,000 Left?
Wow ! Just because stars are talented doesn't make them financial wizards.
Too many African American Super Stars end up broke (80% End Up Broke).
Learn from Magic Johnson and Ophra.
