To investigate empirically the possibility of an environmental trigger for autism among genetically vulnerable children that is positively associated with precipitation.
We used regression analysis to investigate autism prevalence rates and counts first in relation to mean annual county-level precipitation and then to the amount of precipitation a birth cohort was exposed to when younger than 3 years, controlling for time trend, population size, per capita income, and demographic characteristics. In some models, we included county fixed-effects rather than a full set of covariates.
Counties in California, Oregon, and Washington.
Children born in California, Oregon, and Washington between 1987 and 1999.
Main Exposure
County-level precipitation.
Main Outcome Measures
County-level autism prevalence rates and counts.
County-level autism prevalence rates and counts among school-aged children were positively associated with a county's mean annual precipitation. Also, the amount of precipitation a birth cohort was exposed to when younger than 3 years was positively associated with subsequent autism prevalence rates and counts in Oregon counties and California counties with a regional developmental services center.
These results are consistent with the existence of an environmental trigger for autism among genetically vulnerable children that is positively associated with precipitation. Further studies focused on establishing whether such a trigger exists and identifying the specific trigger are warranted.
Thirty years ago, it was estimated that roughly 1 in 2500 children had autism; the most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study calculated prevalence at 1 in 150.1 Some of this increase is likely owing to more active case ascertainment and changes in diagnostic criteria, and as much as half of the prevalence variation between studies is owing to differences in methods and population characteristics.2,3 Nevertheless, the possibility of a true increase in prevalence cannot be excluded.4
Despite the increase in prevalence and the resulting increased attention paid to the condition, knowledge about what causes autism is limited. It is understood that biological factors play an important role, but environmental triggers may also be important. However, little is known about what these triggers might be. We explore the possibility of an environmental trigger for autism by empirically investigating the association between county-level precipitation rates and the prevalence of autism.
The US Department of Education collects autism prevalence data by state. According to the 2003 survey, the 5 states with the lowest autism prevalence for 6- to 10-year-olds were New Mexico, Mississippi, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, whereas Minnesota, Oregon, Indiana, Maine, and Massachusetts had the highest autism prevalence for this age group.5 Similarly, in the recent CDC study of autism prevalence mentioned previously, the highest autism prevalence among the 14 states studied was found in New Jersey, the second–most-northern state in the study, whereas the lowest autism prevalence was found in Alabama, the most southern state in the study.1
This pattern suggests a hypothesis: namely, that there is an environmental trigger for autism among genetically vulnerable children that is correlated with bad weather, possibly because the environmental trigger is associated with indoor activities. We explore this hypothesis by empirically investigating the association between autism prevalence and precipitation rates.
We focused on data from 3 states: California, Oregon, and Washington. Two of our tests required high precipitation variability across counties. The Cascade Mountains run north to south across Oregon and Washington, and, in both states, western counties experience almost 4 times more precipitation than eastern counties. We also included California because it has been the focus of numerous past studies of autism rates and has relatively high precipitation variability across counties.
State agencies in Oregon and Washington report the number of children aged 6 to 18 years in December 2005 who were diagnosed with autism, by county of residence. The California Department of Developmental Services reports the number of children diagnosed with autism receiving services at one of California's 21 regional centers, again by county of residence. The autism prevalence for school-aged children is calculated by dividing the number of 6- to 18-year-olds with autism in a county by the corresponding county-level school-aged population, as reported in the 2000 US Census.
We also calculated county-level age-specific autism prevalence. Washington did not provide these data, whereas Oregon provided figures when a county's age-specific count was at least 10. For Oregon, we used age-specific counts in 2005 to construct an autism prevalence rate for each of 13 cohorts born from 1987 through 1999 by dividing by the corresponding county-level age-specific population. For California, we focused on the same cohorts but used the county autism prevalence count in the year a birth cohort was 8 years old (for the 1998 birth cohort, we used the autism prevalence count of 7-year-olds in 2005, and for the 1999 cohort, we used the 2005 count of 6-year-olds) and constructed the autism prevalence rate by dividing by the corresponding county-level age-specific population. California's data construction procedure should have less measurement error because some children with autism may have changed county of residence between age 3 years and when they were recorded in the data sets. Unfortunately, data limitations prevented us from using this procedure for Oregon.
In our tests, we used a relative precipitation variable, which we defined as the difference between the annual precipitation received in a county and the mean precipitation for all counties in the sample. The National Climatic Data Center records daily precipitation at more than 8000 weather stations in the United States. To calculate precipitation in a specific county in a specific year, we first calculated the mean across all weather stations in the county for each day of the year. We added the resulting values from all the days in the year to get the total precipitation, and then calculated mean annual precipitation by county from 1987 through 2001 and for each 3-year interval when the 1987 through 1999 birth cohorts were younger than 3 years. To find relative precipitation levels, we then subtracted the mean annual precipitation level for the counties and years in our sample. The 1987-2001 period spans the dates when children who were school aged in 2005 were younger than 3 years, the time during which autism symptoms emerge and any putative, postnatal factor would be present.6
We also included various covariates: a county's total population, per capita income, and the percentage of the population who were Hispanic, black, or members of an indigenous group (American Indians or Alaskan natives). To calculate these percentages, we used population data by group and age range taken from the US Census.
This study was approved by the Cornell University Institutional Review Board.
We focused on whether autism prevalence was higher in counties that received relatively high precipitation, and whether this relationship was also true for birth cohorts in a county that experienced heavy precipitation, relative to that county's mean, when the cohort was younger than 3 years. Using ordinary least squares regression, we analyzed the county-level autism prevalence in 2005 for children aged 6 through 18 years in California, Oregon, and Washington in relation to the mean annual precipitation rate in that county from 1987 through 2001 and county-level demographic covariates. Separately, we analyzed the autism prevalence rate for each birth cohort in California and Oregon counties from 1987 through 1999 in relation to the mean annual precipitation rates in those counties when the cohort was younger than 3 years. We clustered the standard errors to allow the error terms to be correlated within a county over time.
One concern with this approach was that families predisposed to having autistic children may, for one reason or another, have been located disproportionately in counties that received substantial precipitation. We addressed this concern in 2 ways. First, we controlled for the per capita income and racial/ethnic mix of each county. Second, we used a county fixed-effects regression that controlled for county variables (measured and unmeasured) that did not change during the sample period. The fixed-effects regression analysis tested whether birth cohorts that were exposed to a large amount of precipitation, relative to the county mean, when younger than 3 years, had a higher autism prevalence rate relative to the county mean.
A second concern is whether results were driven by the rising prevalence of autism over time. To address this issue, we included linear, squared, and cubed time trend variables to allow for a flexible trend in diagnoses over time, independent of changes in precipitation.
Another concern was that some California counties did not have a regional developmental services center, which likely means a smaller proportion of children diagnosed with autism who were originally born in those counties were recorded in our data as eventually residing in those counties. This may occur because some families with autistic children born in counties without a regional center may have moved to counties with such a center (because regional centers provide services) and some families who did not move may never have registered at a regional center because of the distance to the nearest center.
We accounted for this potential problem in 2 ways. First, we included in the regressions an indicator variable for California counties with a regional center. Second, a number of our tests considered how a cohort's exposure to precipitation levels while younger than 3 years was associated with subsequent prevalence. Because an unknown and likely varying number of each cohort's autistic children born in California counties without a regional center were not included in our data as residing in that county, any measured effect of precipitation on autism prevalence in those counties was likely to be substantially smaller. Therefore, in the relevant regression analyses, we allowed precipitation to have a separate effect in California counties without a regional center and all other counties and focused on the precipitation coefficient for the counties in Oregon and the California counties with a regional center where the coefficient should have been larger.
Finally, we performed 2 additional analyses to verify that the results were robust. First, because the population of school-aged children differed substantially among counties, the prevalence of autism was likely to be estimated more precisely in relatively populous counties, which can cause the standard errors in ordinary least squares regression to be incorrect. To address this concern, we repeated the analyses using negative binomial regression in which the dependent variable was the number of children in a county diagnosed with autism in 2005 rather than the autism prevalence rate. In the negative binomial regressions, the coefficient on the logarithm of a county's population was constrained to be 1. Second, we addressed the possibility that the error terms in the ordinary least squares regression between adjacent counties may have been correlated by correcting the standard errors for spatial dependence.7
As mentioned in the "Methods" section, the Cascade Mountains run north to south across Oregon and Washington and create 2 vastly different precipitation patterns. Counties west of the Cascades receive almost 4 times more precipitation, on average, than eastern counties (Figure 1 and Figure 2). As indicated in Figures 1 and 2, in December 2005, autism rates for school-aged children were much higher in the western counties. There was less precipitation variation between counties in California (Figure 3), and the direct relationship between precipitation and autism was weaker there than for Oregon and Washington.
Precipitation (A) (1987-2001) and autism rates (B) (2005) for Washington counties. Autism prevalence rates are for children aged 6 through 18 years. Precipitation was measured from July 1, 1987, through June 30, 2001.
Precipitation (A) (1987-2001) and autism rates (B) (2005) for Oregon counties. Autism prevalence rates are for children aged 6 through 18 years. Precipitation was measured from July 1, 1987, through June 30, 2001.
Precipitation (A) (1987-2001) and autism rates (B) (2005) for California counties. Autism prevalence rates are for children aged 6 through 18 years. Precipitation was measured from July 1, 1987, through June 30, 2001.
Table 1 reports coefficient estimates from the first precipitation regression. The dependent variable was the 2005 autism prevalence rate among school-aged children in a particular county of California, Oregon, or Washington, measured as a percentage. After controlling for differences in population size, demographic characteristics, per capita income, state, and whether a California county had a regional developmental services center, the coefficient for the mean annual precipitation received by a county between 1987 and 2001 was positive and significant (0.0034; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.0018-0.0050). The coefficients for the control variables indicated that the prevalence of autism was higher in populous counties (0.026; 95% CI, 0.001-0.051) and lower in counties with a relatively high indigenous group population (−0.0080; 95% CI, −0.013 to −0.0032). Relative to California, the prevalence of autism was similar in Washington and higher in Oregon (0.46; 95% CI, 0.37-0.55) after controlling for other county characteristics.
In Table 2 we performed this analysis again using a negative binomial regression in which the dependent variable was the number of school-aged children in a county diagnosed with autism in 2005 rather than the autism prevalence rate. Note that with a negative binomial regression, incidence-rate ratios higher than 1 are analogous to positive coefficients in an ordinary least squares regression, whereas incidence-rate ratios less than 1 are analogous to negative coefficients. Qualitatively, the results in Table 2 are similar to those in Table 1; most important, the incidence-rate ratio for mean annual precipitation is higher than 1 and statistically significant (1.007; 95% CI, 1.003-1.011). The only difference between the tables is that in Table 2 the incidence-rate ratio for being in a Washington county was statistically significant (1.39; 95% CI, 1.14-1.70), and, similarly, the incidence-rate ratio for being in a California county with a regional center was also statistically significant (1.34; 95% CI, 1.08-1.65).
In Table 3 we focus on county autism prevalence rates by birth cohort in California and Oregon. Model 1 included a full set of covariates. The coefficient on mean annual precipitation when the cohort was younger than 3 years was positive and significant in Oregon and California counties with a regional center (0.0079; 95% CI, 0.0021-0.0137) and positive and insignificant in California counties without a regional center. The mean prevalence of autism was higher in Oregon counties (0.613; 95% CI, 0.479-0.747) and higher in California counties with a regional center (0.087; 95% CI, 0.0010-0.174). Model 2 included county fixed-effects rather than a full set of county-level covariates. As before, the coefficient for mean annual precipitation when the cohort was younger than 3 years was positive and significant in Oregon counties and California counties with a regional center (0.0057; 95% CI, 0.0021-0.0093) and insignificant in California counties without a regional center.
In Table 4 we performed this analysis again using a negative binomial regression in which the dependent variable was autism counts by birth cohort in California and Oregon counties. As was true before, using a negative binomial regression rather than an ordinary least squares regression did not change the qualitative nature of the results.
Finally, for each of the 3 ordinary least squares regression analyses, we conducted a procedure that addressed the possibility that the error terms between adjacent counties may be correlated. The specific procedure we used left estimated coefficients unchanged but estimated standard errors corrected for spatial dependence between contiguous counties. The new standard errors for the main precipitation coefficients were 69% to 80% smaller than those reported in Tables 1 and 3, so these coefficients remain statistically significant at the 1% level.
This study empirically examines the hypothesis that there is an environmental trigger for autism among genetically vulnerable children that is positively associated with precipitation. If there is such an environmental trigger, then the prevalence of autism should be higher in counties that receive abundant precipitation, and especially for birth cohorts that receive above-average precipitation, relative to the county's average amount, when the cohort was younger than 3 years.
Our results support this hypothesis. Autism prevalence rates for school-aged children in California, Oregon, and Washington in 2005 were positively related to the amount of precipitation these counties received from 1987 through 2001. Similarly, focusing on Oregon and California counties with a regional center, autism prevalence was higher for birth cohorts that experienced relatively heavy precipitation when they were younger than 3 years.
The magnitude of the measured relationships is substantial. For the following calculation, let us suppose that our results are indeed owing to the existence of an environmental trigger for autism. We can then estimate how much lower autism prevalence rates would be if all the increased exposure of genetically vulnerable children to this environmental trigger correlated with precipitation were eliminated. Multiplying the coefficient from the precipitation variable in Table 3 (0.0057) by the sample mean annual precipitation amount (35.6 inches) yields a rate of 0.203, which represents approximately 43% of the mean 2005 school-aged autism prevalence rate for Oregon and California counties with a regional center. A similar calculation using the results of the negative binomial regression (Table 4) yields an estimated reduction of 33% of the mean 2005 school-aged autism prevalence rate for Oregon and California counties with a regional center.
There are a number of possibilities concerning what such an environmental trigger might be. One possibility is early childhood television and video viewing.8- 13 It seems plausible that early childhood television and video viewing is positively associated with precipitation. Furthermore, television and video viewing by very young children has previously been associated with psychopathological characteristics in the pediatric literature,14- 17 including problems concerning language development,18- 20 cognitive development,21 and the development of later behaviors consistent with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.22 So one possibility is that early childhood television and video viewing by typical children is associated with various mild negative health consequences, whereas in a genetically vulnerable population it is associated with more serious health problems such as autism.
Another possibility is that vitamin D deficiency is an environmental trigger for autism.23 Because precipitation very likely leads to less time outdoors and sunshine is the major source of vitamin D, precipitation is plausibly associated with a higher frequency of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to reduced levels in the developing brain of calcitriol, a critical neurosteroid involved in brain development. Of interest, while health care providers have exhorted patients during the last 20 years to reduce sunshine exposure, autism prevalence has been increasing. It is also of interest to note that evidence indicates a substantial incidence of vitamin D deficiency in the United States and elsewhere among infants and toddlers.24
More generally, because young children likely spend more time indoors on high precipitation days, our results could potentially be explained by any environmental trigger associated with indoor activities. For example, a chemical used in household cleaners may serve as a trigger, and precipitation, with the concomitantly increased time that children spend indoors, may indirectly increase exposure to this chemical. Studies have found that environmental agents such as certain types of air pollution may serve as environmental triggers for autism,25,26 but no previous study has presented statistical evidence of an environmental trigger specifically associated with indoor activities. Notably, the ongoing CHARGE (Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and Environment) Study27 will examine a number of chemical and biological exposures in the origins of autism.
Finally, there is also the possibility that precipitation itself is more directly involved. For example, there may be a chemical or chemicals in the upper atmosphere that are transported to the surface by precipitation. Our results could be explained by one of these chemicals being an environmental trigger for autism because precipitation would increase the prevalence of the chemical on the ground and therefore potentially increase the exposure rate with genetically vulnerable children. Another possibility is that increased precipitation might promote weed growth or expansion of the insect population, which triggers an increased use of pesticides, which may serve as an environmental trigger for autism. In fact, there is some evidence that certain pesticides are an environmental trigger for autism.28
There are several potential concerns with our approach. One is that families more prone to having autistic children may reside in areas with high levels of precipitation, or that such areas might use broader diagnostic criteria for diagnosing autism. However, the results persisted when we used county-level fixed-effects regression, which controlled for unmeasured time invariant county variables. This makes it unlikely that differences between counties in family characteristics and diagnostic criteria explain the results.
A second potential concern to be aware of is reverse causality. However, the methods we used eliminate this as a serious concern. Clearly, there is no meaningful sense in which the presence of a high number of young children in a county's birth cohort prone to autism "causes" precipitation to increase in that county.
It is also likely that state agency/school definitions of autism vary among states and counties and even over time within a state or county.29,30 Nevertheless, it is unlikely that such variations would create the relationships between precipitation and autism that we find. For example, although it is theoretically possible that a county adopts conservative autism diagnostic criteria for cohorts who experienced little precipitation when young and generous diagnostic criteria for cohorts who experienced significant precipitation, this seems unlikely. Another concern is that some children moved across counties between the time of their birth and when they were recorded in our data. However, such measurement error would bias coefficients toward 0 and therefore would bias against finding statistically significant results.
Because we do not provide direct clinical evidence of an environmental trigger for autism among genetically vulnerable children that is positively associated with precipitation, our results are clearly not definitive evidence in favor of the hypothesis. But the results are consistent with the hypothesis, and, therefore, further research focused on establishing whether such a trigger exists and on identifying it is warranted.

Fantasy Football Week 11 started on Thursday when the Chicago Bears defeated the Miami Dolphins 16-0.
But we've got 16 more games to play starting this weekend. So don't despair, it's not too late if you're still looking to clinch a spot in the fantasy postseason.
As always, this week is going to be very important for fantasy owners eager to notch a win.
It's time to focus.
It's a must-win week for everyone unless you're one of the lucky few sitting on a 10-0 record.
This week, my always-evolving problem at the quarterback position is deciding whether or not to start David Garrard or John Kitna.
Stay tuned in the morning for an update. This will require overnight deliberation to come up with an answer.
Meanwhile, feel free to send questions regarding your starting lineups.
Garrard or Kitna?
What to do?
Garrard will be facing a Cleveland defense that has given up 17 touchdowns this season. While Kitna also has a great matchup against the hapless Lions.
Plus, he just may be extra motivated to play against his former squad.
I'm going with Kitna this week, over Garrard.
Although Garrard has been on fire, I take the Cleveland Browns pass rush very seriously. They were able lock down Drew Brees and even give Tom Brady fits.
Kitna is an oldie but could by a goody this weekend.
The Cowboys are definitely a pass-first football team and could be in line for another victory in the Jason Garrett era.
Let's got Kitna!
This list will be updated with Saturday evening/Sunday morning sit 'em, start 'em recommendations as well as weather and injury news to make sure your fantasy team will be ready this weekend.
Got last-second fantasy football questions? Post on the comment section and I'll hit you back with my response right here.

Business professor makes student success priority
The Utah Statesman
By Stacey Worster
From his career beginnings working as a technical engineer to raising a family and going back to school for his MBA, Dan Holland's life has been full of unexpected turns. However, students won't find him complaining.
Holland was recently named the Huntsman School of Business Teacher of the Year, and is an assistant entrepreneurship professor in the Huntsman School of Business.
"I got my undergrad at BYU in electrical engineering and then worked mainly with software development at various companies. It wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, so I headed back to BYU to get my MBA," Holland said. "My career path changed rapidly and went all different directions until I found what I was passionate about. It was a fun process and I try to instill in my students that they have the privilege to try different things until they find their niche."
Holland has worked on various different research projects in the business field and said he enjoys his job thoroughly. He likes teaching, but he also like hands-on work.
"Half of my job is teaching and the other half is research and service," Holland said. "I do a lot of entrepreneurship decision making is what I focus on, and why entrepreneurs persist with the decisions they make."

Player: Denny Tomassetti, Bishop Guilfoyle
Opponent: Allentown Central Catholic
Date: Friday, March 13, 1970
Site: Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg
Setting the scene: BG, at 20-4, was shooting for its second PCIAA Class A state championship in four years when it met 20-6 Allentown Central Catholic in the state final. Down eight (64-56) early in the fourth quarter, BG rallied to tie it at 74 and had the ball with 11 seconds remaining, thanks to Bob Landolfi corralling the ball after a Tomassetti block and jump ball.
The shot: After a timeout, BG's Bill Gibbons dribbled through a full-court press to midcourt. He then passed to Tim Lambour, who found Tomassetti open in the corner. Tomassetti's 15-foot jumper with three seconds left gave BG a 76-74 win and the state title. Tomassetti also hit game-winners the previous season in the diocesan championship and the Altoona YMCA tournament.
Mirror excerpt from Saturday, March 14, 1970: It was mass confusion in the BG locker room with plenty of hugging and backslapping. [Coach Tom] Lane was tossed in the showers fully clothed, but he didn't mind. — Jim Lane

—Tomassetti: ''The play was set to go to myself or Tim Lambour on the wing. What it came down to was executing the fundamentals. We did what we were supposed to do and didn't think about it.''
—Lane: ''When we called that timeout, everybody in the arena was going crazy. We just wanted to get key people in key spots. Tomassetti was open on the baseline, and his shot went right through. It was very exciting.''
Aftermath: Thirty-eight years later, BG's 1970 state title was the last for any Blair County boys basketball team. Tomassetti and his wife, Yvonne, live in Oakmont. He is the chief financial officer for UPMC Passavant.

As The Dallas Morning News reported on Sunday, placement agents can serve as a hidden link between public pension officials and the private firms that manage – for significant fees –the investment of those public dollars. Private firms hire placement agents to solicit public capital.
In the case of Alfred Jackson, a politically connected Houston investment manager, there also was a link between Texas and New Mexico.
Information released by the Teacher Retirement System of Texas late last week about his work as a placement agent, which Jackson said represents only a "sliver" of his career in finance, raises new questions about that tie.

You've heard of girls playing football. Caroline Cashion is a kicker on the West Ashley football team, for example. It's rare, but not impossible.
Remember this name: Maddie Schwarz. She isn't a kicker. She wants to tackle, fight for position and force turnovers. Maddie is a 12-year-old girl playing cornerback for the Christ Our King football team.
"You're watching these boys play, and then you see a ponytail," a team parent fondly said.
"She is the first girl that I have ever coached," coach Ric Biggers said, "hence, her jersey No. 1."
The Schwarz family, which includes four children born within 20 months, moved to Charleston last year from the San Francisco Bay Area for a "slower pace of life," father Anton Schwarz said.
"Tackle football has truly been her first love where she started in 2011 as a defensive end for the Marin Broncos," Schwarz said. Maddie has been playing football since the second grade, when she would get to school early and leave late so she could play among the boys.
Her strengths reside in athletics. Schwarz said she was a member of the Bay Area championship Little League baseball team, where "she broke her arm in the championship game but refused to leave the field." She was also the only girl on the Marin Highlanders – in California – rugby team, and she recently was a ball girl for the Canada/USA rugby qualifier at Blackbaud Stadium. Maddie has also played on a travel lacrosse team and basketball team.
She's had this resilience from Day One – literally. Today, Maddie is fighting the opposing team's wide receivers for position. Twelve years ago, she was fighting for her life.
"When her mother, Deb, was pregnant with triplets, the doctors said that only two of the triplets would make it, as the third one was too small to survive given a bad cord placement," Schwarz said. But, Maddie, also known as "Peanut," defied the doctors.
She was born six weeks early and weighed only three pounds, but "she very quickly made it out of the NICU," Schwarz added. Her sister, Alex, is an avid fisherman and bass player and her brother, Ben, is a competitive gymnast and state vault champion in California and South Carolina.
Maddie also has an older sister, Katie, who is a freshman cheerleader at Bishop England. Although her brother and sisters aren't as immersed in football as Maddie, the game has been a large part of the extended family. Mark Kelso, a former captain of the Buffalo Bills, is a relative.
Kelso enjoyed an eight-year career in the NFL – all with the Bills – and made four consecutive Super Bowl appearances from 1991-94. Like Maddie's current cornerback position, Kelso also played in the defensive secondary as a safety. He finished with career statistics of 30 interceptions, eight fumble recoveries and two defensive touchdowns.
Schwarz said Maddie's anticipation and tackling skills benefit from not only practice on the football field but also in her rugby training. Earlier this season, an opposing coach was heard telling one of his wide receivers: "You just got your butt tackled by a future supermodel."
Biggers admitted he was surprised by Maddie's abilities. During an August scrimmage against Rock Hill, Biggers said Rock Hill thought they could take advantage of Maddie by throwing a deep pass to the receiver she was covering.
"Maddie made a big-time play and ran the Rock Hill player down," Biggers said, "saving a touchdown and not allowing Rock Hill to score against us in a game-like scrimmage.
"Maddie works just as hard as everyone on our team, and she never quits. I am very proud to have the opportunity to coach her."

Researchers found that hippocampal stem cells can only go through one cycle of division before converting into mature differentiated astrocytes.[© Cristian Ciobanu - Fotolia.com]
Scientists claim that the age-related decline in numbers of neurons in the hippocampus may be due to a gradual exiting of its stem cell population. A Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL)-led team has found that stem cells in the hippocampus can actually only go through one cycle of dividing into neural cell progenitors before they lose their stemness and themselves differentiate into mature astrocytes.
The disposable nature of neural stem cells effectively leads to an ever-shrinking stem cell pool and hence a reduction in brain cell renewal as we age, claim Grigori Enikolopov, Ph.D., and colleagues. They report their research in Cell Stem Cell in a paper titled "Division-Coupled Astrocytic Differentiation and Age-Related Depletion of Neural Stem Cells in the Adult Hippocampus."
Stem cells in many tissues have been shown to go through cycles of self-renewal followed by periods of quiescence, Dr. Enikolopov and colleagues report. The conventional model is that a stem cell will periodically come out of its quiescent state, undergo asymmetric division to generate tissue progenitor cells and renew itself, and then return to quiescence until the next round of division is triggered. This cycle is believed to help maintain the size of the pool of stem cells while limiting replication to reduce the probability of accumulating mutations.
This tenet has also held true for brain stem cells, and scientists have postulated that declining numbers of neurons in the aging brain could relate either to an increase in neural stem cell quiescence, a decrease in stem cell productive division or survival of their progeny, a reduction in neuronal fate commitment, or the loss of neural stem cells through death.
Using mouse models in which brain stem cells and progenitor cells are differentially tagged, the CSHL team has now shown that hippocampal stem cells don't behave in the same way as the perpetually self-renewing stem cells in other tissues. Instead, stem cells in the brain that are triggered to come out of quiescence go through a rapid series of cell divisions to generate their progenitor cells and then themselves convert into mature hippocampal astrocytes and so leave the stem cell pool.
"These results support a model in which a stem cell of the adult brain can be described as a 'single use' or a 'disposable' unit," the authors write. The brain stem cell is effectively "quiescent for the entirety of its adult lifetime, activated to undergo a series of rapid asymmetric divisions (with progeny, after additional divisions and massive elimination, maturing into neurons), and then, via differentiation into an astrocyte, abandoned in its capacity to act as a bona fide stem cell."
This model would fit in with the age-related decrease in production of new neurons, the observed increase in astrocytes, and disappearance of hippocampal neural stem cells, they suggest. The CSHL researchers are now investigating whether it may be possible to trigger this population of astrocytes to revert back into their original stem cell state and rejoin the stem cell pool.
The published findings also beg the question of what effect exercise and drugs (such as Prozac) that are known to promote neuronal generation have on the brain's apparently finite stem cell pool, Dr. Enikolopov remarks. "Having the ability to produce new neurons is obviously good, but since adult brain stem cells seem to follow a 'use it and lose it' rule, does activating neuronal production too much exhaust the stem cell pool prematurely?"
The hope is that while diseases and injury that activate stem cells directly may result in a depletion of the stem cell pool, other triggers such as exercise or drug treatment work to stimulate the downstream progeny of stem cells to differentiate into mature neurons rather than use up the stem cell pool itself. Another avenue of research by the CSHL team is therefore to identify drugs that can stimulate neuronal differentiation from progenitor cells without having to tap into the stem cell population.

The company has announced a new generation of 64GB SSDs which use 8Gb, 50nm single-level-cell (SLC) flash memory chips. The drives, which will be available in 1.8" and 2.5" form-factors, also feature a new SATA II interface for faster performance.
The faster chips and SATA II interface gives the new SSDs sequential write speeds of 100MB/sec and sequential reads of 120MB/sec. These numbers completely obliterate the previous Samsung 64GB offering which is rated at 45MB/sec write and 65MB/sec read. Samsung's first-generation 32GB SSD is rated for 30MB/sec writes and 53MB/sec reads.

Although I wasn't quoted in the article, parts of what I said are mentioned. I was asked what I'd buy for a child's gift if we were going to a birthday party and the first thought I had was maybe something by Melissa & Doug- you know, good, trustworthy, wooden toys and then as I was talking to the reporter on the phone I looked and saw that they are made in Taiwan. Hmmm. Right now books sound safe or maybe a gift card so that the parents can decide what the child gets?
Just as we read the labels on our food and our sunscreen, we have to be reading the labels on our kids' toys. Really, anything that has a label needs to be read. Of course, the toys that have been recalled were not labeled as "covered in lead!" but I am going to be extra careful about which toys I'll allow into our home from now on.
So just what exactly is safe to buy? I personally think home-made gifts are the most thoughtful sometimes, and I love to receive them, but not everyone feels that way. I can hear the whispers now- that weird kid whose family makes all their gifts.
Marcie, who blogs at My Two Boys and also the Chicago Moms Blog, has listed some safe lead-free toy options here. I am still tempted to try an all homemade-gift Christmas this year. It's sounding better by the minute.

The BEST Chicken Marinade
30 comments :
A great looking dish with versatile use. A skewered protein is like a personal entree and a rustic, fun way to eat!ReplyDelete
It looks AWESOME, but I hear you about not huge fan of the football. However, my sons(10, 4) are huge, huge fans..and those kids amaze me every time when the football is on..they know everything and everybody..So with two of my boys and my husband there is no way I can watch anything on tv when it is super bowl:D I just might go shopping with my daughter LOL!ReplyDelete
These look great! Anything on a stick is fun!! As for the football thing, I can't even keep track of the ball... Home Run!! Go Lakers!! LOLReplyDelete
Brooks,that's the word I was looking for - rustic!ReplyDelete
Sandra & Patti - we should have a Non-Super Bowl Super Bowl party...lol.
Skewered protein is what many of my friends long for in their "low carb" endeavors. You should share this with the Decidedly Healthy or Horridly Decadent blog hop http://www.inlinkz.com/wpview.php?id=30280ReplyDelete
Hi there...first time here from Kerala, India....lovely space u have and ur dish is looking yummmy....loved going throu ur space....following u...ReplyDelete
These look delicious! And great presentation, too. I'm sure kids would love these!ReplyDelete
My hubby,the chicken lover, would love this! Thanks for sharing this recipe :)ReplyDelete
the marinade sounds delicious.ReplyDelete
Your grilled chicken looks so good! I've been trying to decide what to make for the big day, but I just can't decide.ReplyDelete
(And, hello! I'm new here. ;) )
OMG, it's chicken on a stick! This food is very popular around here at flea markets and fairs. So delicious and easy to hold onto as your walking around.ReplyDelete
I'm not really into football either but can't help but get caught up in the excitement of the playoffs. These would be perfect to eat while watching the Steelers kick the Jets ***'s next Sunday!
We aren't big into sports in my house, so no super bowl parties for us. However these look amazing! But I love food on a stick, haha! I can't wait to give these a try!ReplyDelete
I am going to try this soon. We love grilled chicken at our houseReplyDelete
Fantastic, easy and convenient way to prepare meat.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the post, love your blog:)
I've printed this off...I love the combination of soy, lemon and mustard on pork! I know it will be fabulous on chicken :) Thanks!!!ReplyDelete
We have skewers, and we have chicken. I love all of the flavors on the marinade. We can make these for the big Bears vs. Packers game this Sunday. Go Bears!ReplyDelete
Becky - my husband is a huge Bears fan (he's from northern Indiana near the Illinois border - so he follows Chicago sports) and my Dad (being from Wisconsin)is a Packers fan. It should be an interesting Sunday for us...lol.ReplyDelete
I can see why this recipe has become a keeper! It looks fantastic.ReplyDelete
Regarding the games coming up, I'm in the same boat, only worse. I'm from Chicago and am the Bears fan so will be hoping for a win tomorrow, but Hubby is a HUGE Steelers fan so if the Bears and Steelers win, the Super Bowl game is going to be VERY interesting around here.
Yummm! My husband loves this sort of thing. :)ReplyDelete
Wanted to invite you to link it up at Seasonal Sundays- It fits the theme! :)
Great idea! I made these skewars at our Labor Day cookout and I didn't even get to try one! By the time I got to them they were already gone! Such a hit, I will be making again soon so I can actually try them!! Love your site!!ReplyDelete
I don't have a grill, what is the next best way to cook these, it looks so good & I wanna try themReplyDelete
Lorraine, these can be made in the oven. I've only ever enjoyed them on the grill but I have had other readers tell me they come out great in the oven too. I don't have an exact cooking time for you though, I'm sorry. Maybe start with 350F degrees for about 30 min and go from there.ReplyDelete
Anxious to try this. As for cleaning the grill rack, try leaving the messy rack in your lawn overnight and hosing it off in the morning. The dew breaks down the grime so that it is easily removed. My mom does this with her oven racks, too.ReplyDelete
looks greatReplyDelete
I made these tonight. They were delicious. My daughter said she would like me to make these for her birthday this year! Thanks for this wonderful, flavorful recipe that I will definitely be making again.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 11, 2013 at 1:06 PM
We had these last Sunday. Amazing! Flavor was wonderful and the chicken was so tender. We will certainly have them again, SOON!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 31, 2013 at 4:23 PM
I made these for dinner for a special friend and I ;). I used cut chicken breast. I watched these babies like a hawk and kept an eye on the temperature of the chicken. I have had one too many dry grilled chicken kebabs! I took them off the grill when they were around 160-163 degrees. These were great! The flavor from the marinade was nicely balanced. They were very juicy as well. I will be using this recipe again! Besides the soy sauce, these were all ingredients I had at the house. I am learning to grill by trial and error. Thank you for making a recipe that's simple and oh so delicious! :)ReplyDelete
I made these. Fabulous marinade recipe. It truly is great and super easy.ReplyDelete
I have no way to grill so was wondering how this could be done in the kitchen. Maybe the broiler or oven. Am clueless 8(ReplyDelete

Posted July 8, 2013
Tags Alumni Chemistry Faculty Ian Rosenstein Student Research
Associate Professor of Chemistry Ian Rosenstein attended the National Organic Symposium from June 25-28 at the University of Washington in Seattle. This biennial conference, held by the Organic Division of the American Chemical Society, features invited talks on cutting edge research in all aspects of organic chemistry plus several hundred poster presentations.
Rosenstein presented a poster titled "Radical Cascade Reactions of Bicyclic Ring Systems" that was co-authored with Alex Thompson '13, Phillip Milner '10 and Kate Otley '12. The work presented in the poster was a summary of the results obtained by the three students in their senior projects. All three students are currently working toward Ph. D. degrees in chemistry. Milner is a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Otley and Thompson are both at Yale University.

on February 1, 2013 - 1:00 AM
, updated February 1, 2013 at 11:09 AM
Kevin Bacon is alone in the room of a killer, investigating. The walls are covered with rubber Edgar Allan Poe masks.
The scene is well-directed. It is quiet and unrushed as Bacon thoughtfully registers the sheer number of Poe masks, all of which could be donned by indentured individual members of a serial killing cult. The soundtrack, for instance, is not jammed to the hilt with terror music to soup up our emotional responses. We're allowed to register quiet horror, right along with Bacon.
Until one of the rubber masks suddenly sprouts a body and lunges savagely at Bacon.
An altogether brilliant TV fright, after which a fight obviously ensues with the predictable eventual winner. Bacon, after all, is the star of the show, and he, to understate considerably, is not an actor we see all the time on television.
It's splendid to see Kevin Bacon starring in a TV series. On that almost all of us can agree. After that, forget it. Kevin Williamson's "The Following," on Mondays at 9 p.m. after "Bones," has become eminently watchable television despite being as deeply preposterous and annoying as any good TV show has any right to be.
The premise of "The Following" is simultaneously chilling and appallingly bad.
It seems there is a wicked serial killer named Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), who is a professor of literature specializing in Poe. We have learned, in just two episodes thus far on Fox, that he has amassed a mysteriously sized cult of blindly obedient killers-in-waiting, ready to do his bidding at any moment and dispatch ordinary citizens from Kennebunkport to Cuernavaca.
Somehow, they've all been convened by Professor Evil around the Romantic malevolence of Poe's imagination.
Let me cede that my passionate revulsion is not likely to be shared by a majority of TV watchers. No college-level professor of literature – no matter how malevolent in his off-hours– would use Poe as a springboard for the serial murder of young women. Poe, in life, was racked by the sufferings of young women – especially his dying wife. Even the most marginal understanding of Poe would convey his tortured sensitivity to the tale of all those lost Lenores and Annabel Lees. Quite beyond that, Poe was – most importantly – a ferociously intellectual American writer whose essays are full of eviscerations of other writers from the standpoint of an obscure artist whose fame, in life, never came close to matching his genius.
The terrible darkness of his "imagination" is almost always tragic. He is a victim's writer. Or, he is a horrified onlooker's writer. He is not a killer's writer. Wrong POV, as the film folks might put it.
Such hostile bitterness, then, as Poe contained within him was well-exercised in his often savage essays, which remain of uncommon brilliance. He has been, for a couple centuries now, an inspiration for those in the critics' and scholars' trades, not those of homicidal bent.
Only a film-besotted screenwriter such as Williamson – with an understanding of Poe so cursory and defective that it could fly in his series "Dawson's Creek" – would invent a cold cult of murders around a writer of such hot miseries and intellectual aggressions as Poe.
On top of that, in "The Following," we have the most elementary implausibility: The minute it was suspected that our imprisoned serial killer was recruiting admirers outside prison walls to do his nefarious bidding, why wouldn't authorities shut him down immediately and cut him off entirely from all contact with the outside world, other than necessary medical and/or legal consultation?
The premise, as the show presents it, seems to imply visitation as populous as an audience for a rock concert and Internet traffic as clotted as spam entreaties purporting to be from Nigeria. (And just how, again, are active serial killers recruited online? Can we not elide past that plot point so quickly? Some details would, no doubt, allay the horselaughs of us literalists.) So what we have is a malevolent fantasy on the shakiest possible foundation.
Nevertheless, despite the pathetically juvenile nature of the premise, it touches on a nightmare clever enough to keep us watching and even enthralled for years.
And that is, it takes to terrifying extremes an idea floated by the dark master of the modern pulp imagination, Thomas Harris, a man whose works may have far more of a horrifying relationship to real world terrors than Poe's 19th century fantasies ever did.
It was Harris, whose 1981 invention of Hannibal Lecter in "Red Dragon" and later "The Silence of the Lambs," who first gave us a serial killer who was almost a diabolical "hero" – in any case, one simultaneously so monstrous and so fiendishly attractive in his wit that he could drum up acolytes though apparent innocent mail.
What Williamson did in "The Following" that works is this: He asks us to imagine a serial killing monster so charismatic in his furtive communications and so powerful in evil message that a cult approaching Scientology's population has sprung up around him, a cult so large and diverse that it could, at any moment, include just about anyone.
At the end of this week's episode, we seemed to have discovered that one of those in that cult may be the FBI's own specialist in, uh, cult behavior. A nice chill that, right up there with the rubber Poe mask that suddenly came to life.
"The Following," then, is a TV show that works stacked on top of a godawful premise.
What always needs to be pondered, though, by all of us is the degree to which the dark imagination of Thomas Harris has commandeered our world, at the very least the televised part of it.
Before Harris, we didn't really have serial killers on TV every night. But the offshoots of his books and the movies made from them – most notably "The Silence of the Lambs" – have included "Profiler," "Criminal Minds" and, in a sense, all the "CSI's" and "Law and Orders," too, as well as countless series that have come and gone, replete with criminal monsters.
We see descendants of Harris' gargoyles on TV every night. An argument could be made that Harris' horrifying Super Bowl terror fantasy "Black Sunday" was the first intimation between covers of the kind of truly horrifying terror malevolence that was involved in 9/11.
The mind of Edgar Allan Poe, I'd offer, is one that will, in its way, heal and humanize those appalled at reality's horrors. The incredibly influential mind of Thomas Harris, quite frankly, scares the hell out of me.

LEWISTOWN - The quiet streets of a politically conservative town in central Pennsylvania may not seem like the usual stomping ground for an anti-abortion prayer rally. But members of Citizens Concerned for Human Life of Mifflin-Juniata Inc. gather each year on the first Sunday in October in an effort to end abortion in the U.S.
The annual rally is an extension of the National Life Chain, founded in 1987 by a small pro-life ministry in Sacramento, Calif. According to a press release, the event has grown rapidly over the past two-and-a-half decades. Last year, over 1,500 cities and towns held rallies in more than 1,700 locations, the release states.
"I hope this will get people to think about life in the womb and to place their support behind that life," Father Bill Weary, pastor of Sacred Heart Church, Lewistown, and St. Jude's Thaddeus Church, Mifflintown, said.
Frank Cunningham, founder of Citizens Concerned for Human Life of Mifflin-Juniata Inc., said this year will mark the sixth year Life Chain has been held in Lewistown. Although his religious beliefs were the main reason Cunningham originally organized the rally, it wasn't his only influence.
"Even if I wasn't Catholic ... I said I'm gonna spend some time getting politicians to listen to us," he explained.
Each October, the local group gathers downtown for one hour of music, prayer and speakers. Though Life Chain focuses on personal reflection and self-analysis, organizers also hope the demonstration reaches a larger audience. Cunningham said he encourages citizens to vote for pro-life candidates and support anti-abortion legislation.
"We know we're gonna win eventually," he said.
Life Chain is one way for local residents to make their voice heard by bringing attention to the issue of abortion and turning people toward life.
"I just wonder how many Mozarts or how many future scientists and inventors we may have killed off already ... by our own hand and our own instigation," Weary said. "The number of abortions in Pennsylvania has reduced somewhat but there's still over a million abortions in the United States per year."
Jane Brown, secretary and treasurer of Citizens Concerned for Human Life of Mifflin-Juniata Inc., added that the statistics supporting the prevalence of abortion in the U.S. are surprising.
"I hope (Life Chain) makes (people) aware of how big the problem is," she said. "You never know when it's going to have something to do with you."
Citizens Concerned for Human Life of Mifflin-Juniata Inc. invites the public to attend Life Chain, to be held from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 7 at the Mifflin County Historic Courthouse steps in Lewistown. The demonstration is nondenominational. State Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Belleftone, and Michael Ciccocioppo, executive director of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, will be guest speakers.

quote: Wrong, drives are rated in MB/s. your standard notebook drive is closer to 75MB/s or 600 mbps.

quote: I'm saying that the storage isn't the bottle neck. How is that not obvious? I'm also saying that your argument of 200mbps is invalid, because 200mbps is 25MB/s. Almost any harddrive can hit that in a sequential write. This has NOTHING to do with synthetic and everything to do with whether its a random write or not. Downloads are sequential mostly.
quote: Synthetic benchmarks have NOTHING to do with it. Notebook harddrives can easily hit 40-60, even the slow ones. So that's 320-480. A decent notebook drive could go well beyond that.

Where to find the highest pay, lowest cost of living
We often hear people say things like, "I'd be able to save more, if I lived in a cheaper city."
But a lower cost of living usually means lower paying jobs, too.
So here's the question you should be asking yourself: Which cities have the best balance of high pay and low cost of living?
National Public Radio recently put out a really cool interactive chart that answers that question.
It lets you see how far the typical paycheck really goes in 365 U.S. cities.

Could Cowboys Stadium lose the title of world's largest video board?
Car racing track mogul Bruton Smith — whose Speedway Motorsports Inc. owns Texas Motor Speedway — plans to have the world's largest high-definition video board at his Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina.
According to a press release from the track, Panasonic will create the board and become the founding sponsor of the video board.
The LED board will be 200 feet wide, 80 feet tall and weigh 165,000 pounds. It will cover 16,000 square feet and be located between Turns 2 and 3 along the backstretch of the speedway. It's the first of its kind at a speedway.
Charlotte's screen size would be larger than the biggest screen on the four-sided, center-hung video board at Cowboys Stadium. The Cowboys' video board is 160 feet wide and 72 feet tall.
Construction will begin on the video board following the Oct 16 Bank of America 500 Week and is scheduled to be complete by April 2011.
Does this news mean there might be a huge video board might be in the works for Texas Motor Speedway? American Airlines Center upgraded its scoreboards last year after Cowboys Stadium opened, and the Texas Rangers plan new scoreboards at Rangers Ballpark.

In my continued search to find the best websites and deals to save you time and money, today we have a wakeup call for renters.
With rent on the rise and particularly unpredictable in the Triad, Rent-O-Meter might be your key to a more reasonable lease.
Wednesday, we're taking a look at two great purposes the site serves. It's simple: Enter your address, how much you're paying in rent, and you'll know in a matter of seconds whether you're getting a good deal.
The site could also give a landlord a better idea of where their requested rent stands in relation to the surrounding area.
Is the website perfect? No. It's thrown off in some cases if a very high-end apartment building is right next door to a lower-income area.
I would not base all decisions on this website's results (or any website for that matter), but this is a great tool and resource -- especially if your lease is up, or you're new to a neighborhood.
In my experience, I also found it helpful to print the statistical analysis from Rent-O-Meter and have that accompany me on my visit to a leasing office before re-signing a lease. It helped me shave $100 per month off my last lease.
You might find you're getting a great deal, or you might find that you're paying way too much.

Acronym for Silicon Graphics Incorporated. A company which sells high-performance computing solutions which run an operating system based on System V called IRIX. This is an example of a company that is rapidly moving to adopt Linux on their computers, because they heavily disagree with SCO's litigation of companies, when they have no evidence to stand on to support their case.

A Savannah: the most beautiful and well rounded, amazing girl ever. She's a free spirit with adventure in her heart but never forgets who she is and who she loves. If you have a Savannah in your life dont let her slip by, because she will. Don't take it personally if it seems like she isn't showing you love because she is deep inside of her. Savannah is precious and has ABSOLUTELY no idea how amazing she is. Comfort her when she needs it and she will comfort you back. She may play hard to get but once she tells you she loves you be damn straight that she does. Every little thing she does make her the captivating and elegant soul she is, for although she has had a rough past she is able to transcend her troubles and view the present with maturity and hindsight. It's easy to get lost in her eyes but its even easier to lose yourself when they close. She's a gorgeous Angel and your Ook Pie.

A smart and pretty girl, rarely a brunette, but always prettier that way, She is unique in her own way, but is still normal enough to be civilized. is well loved and has a good judgement of who to be around. Does not engage in peer pressure, and someone who loves kids. A big dreamer, and a goddess of the sun and peace. This girl will usually be shy, but once people get to know her, you will never get her to shutup. Over all, she is an amazing person. This name was a gift.
Savannah is so pretty and amazing, no wonder why some people hate her. they are just jealous
by thisamazinglifenow February 06, 2010
The kindest, sweetest girl you will ever meet. Savannahs have got it all -- brilliant mind, perfect body, gorgeous eyes, and always are multi-talented. Savannahs are a rare find. To find a Savannah is one of the luckiest things a person can do. The only catch is that one must first gain the trust of a Savannah, which takes time and loving patience. But once one does earn the respect and trust of a Savannah, one is destined to be in love with that Savannah for the rest of their life. Of course, who could blame them? Savannahs are the funniest, the most patient, and the most loving creatures on the planet. If one encounters a Savannah, it is a good idea to get acquainted, as it may well be the best decision one could ever make in their entire life.
Person 1: Do you hear that beautiful voice? Oh my goodness, that's that pretty girl singing?! Wow, those are two qualities of my ideal woman!
Person 2: Oh, her! Yeah, she's really polite and really kindhearted, too. I guess she's a Savannah.

Smart but has occasional blonde moments. Her physical traits are curvy, most likely blonde, and sort of southern. Her personality can rub off as ditsy but once you get to know her she is creative and interesting. She judges people too quickly though and is sometimes insincere. Overall a good person with flaws like everyone else.

Varsity Female Athlete of the Week: Abby Rose, Fort LeBoeuf volleyball
Abby Rose, Fort LeBoeuf
Someone had to set up those 26 kills that Fort LeBoeuf hitters Maria Peluso and Jolene Young combined to record during Saturday's PIAA Class AA girls volleyball championship.
There was a great chance that someone was Abby Rose. The junior totaled 30 assists during the Bison's 25-20, 15-25, 25-20, 25-23 victory over Delone Catholic at Central York High School.
Rose added four defensive digs in that match for LeBoeuf, which completed a 21-0 season en route to the state trophy and gold medals it received. She also managed eight kills of her own on offense.
The Bison advanced to the state championship match thanks to their Nov. 13 semifinal victory over Mars at Slippery Rock University's Morrow Field House.
The District 10 champions rallied for a dramatic 19-25, 25-23, 12-25, 25-13, 15-3 win over the Fightin' Planets, with Rose contributing 29 assists.
"Our blocking in the last two games was phenomenal," Rose said after that match. "It was like any ball hit into our court was picked up. There was nothing dropping. They were our games."
Rose helped Fort LeBoeuf make history as District 10's first PIAA girls volleyball titlist from outside Crawford County. She was among those honored during a Monday afternoon rally on the same court where the team held its home matches.

A Waihee man was arrested Sunday night after he allegedly used a metal table to shatter a dining room window and threw other objects, injuring his 12-year-old son, police said.
Jose Tabisola Jr., 34, left the residence when he realized police had been called. He was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving when officers located Tabisola driving his pickup truck in Waiehu Terrace, police said.
Bail was set at $16,200 for Tabisola. He was charged with two counts of abuse, second-degree assault, seven counts of attempted second-degree assault, first-degree criminal property damage, driving under the influence of alcohol and resisting an order to stop a motor vehicle.
Police said Tabisola was arguing with his 34-year-old wife and son in their residence at about 8:10 p.m. Sunday before she pushed Tabisola outside and locked the door. Tabisola picked up a metal table that was outside and used it to shatter the dining room window near where the boy was standing, police said. Then he went to the front of the house and kicked in the front door, police said.
Tabisola threw a wooden barstool and glass picture frames at the boy, police said. The objects didn't hit the boy, but one picture frame struck a wall and shattered, causing glass debris to hit the boy, who suffered a laceration on his lower back, police said. He was treated by medics at the scene.
The woman refused treatment for a small laceration to her right cheek and swelling, police said.
Police officers who were on the way to the residence saw Tabisola leaving in his pickup truck and unsuccessfully tried to stop him.
At about 8:30 p.m., officers were sent to investigate a report of disorderly conduct in the Waiehu Terrace area involving a man in a pickup truck matching the description of Tabisola's truck, police said. Tabisola was located and arrested.

Semex Sponsored Golden Oaks Farm World Dairy Expo Virtual Farm Tour
Semex Sponsored Golden Oaks Farm World Dairy Expo Virtual Farm Tour
During World Dairy Expo, Semex hosted a Virtual Farm Tour (VFT) featuring long-time Semex customer Golden Oaks Farms of Wauconda, Illinois. This VFT outlined the ai24™ program, one of the solutions Semex offers dairymen that assists in dairy profitability and supports Genetics for Life™.
Started in 1948 by the Crown Family of Chicago, Golden Oaks is a 720-cow herd with a rolling
herd average of 27,965 pounds. Located just 45 minutes from Chicago, Golden Oaks goes above and beyond to partner with their urban neighbors. The folks at Golden Oaks work hard to be a good neighbor to its rapidly encroaching urban community. This has included the establishment of Midwest Organic Recycling, a composting site that mixes farm and compost waste, turning it into compost.
Last fall, the cows at Golden Oaks were outfitted with Semex's ai24™ SCR HR-Tags™. On the farm, this has translated into increased pregnancy rates and fewer costs associated with disease treatment. At Golden Oaks, they have been able to identify sick cows more quickly, while utilizing a more natural approach to heat detection.
The results at Golden Oaks are impressive. Comparing one year prior to install to one year after install, with a constant herd size, they increased the number of breedings on cows from 1285 to 1800, increased first service conception rate on cows by 5% and reduced the reliance on timed A.I. by nearly 80%.
"The system looks for heats for us. I do no visual heat detection, we let the system work and it finds them," says Ethan Heinzmann, Golden Oaks Herdsman. "The decision we made to go with the system was very quickly supported and reinforced by the relationship and support Semex provided. Jake (Kempel, Semex Partner Development Manager) has been phenomenal, digging into our dairy comp and helping us with protocols. He has first hand knowledge of the system and it has been more than we could have expected with the support from them (Semex)."
The entire Virtual Farm Tour can be viewed on World Dairy Expo's site under photos and videos at www.worlddairyexpo.com
