Familiar Coaches
• Ball State head coach James Whitford and Kent State head coach Rob Senderoff served together on the staff at Miami University during the 1995-96 season as graduate assistants and again the next season after Whitford became a full-time assistant.

• Coles had also previously been the head coach at Central Michigan.
Another Staff Connection
• James Whitford is not the only member of the Ball State staff familiar with Kent State head coach Rob Senderoff.
• Jaron Henry, Ball State's first-year director of basketball operations, served as a graduate assistant on Senderoff's staff at Kent State the past two seasons.
Majok Named MAC West Player of the Week
• After averaging 21.5 points and 16.0 rebounds over two games last week against James Madison and Oakland City, Majok Majok was named Monday as the MAC West Division Player of the Week.

One Constant in the Lineup
• Senior forward Chris Bond has made 43 consecutive starts dating back to the last game of the 2011-12 season.
• Bond is the only Ball State player to start every game this season and was one of only two (Jauwan Scaife) to start all 30 a year ago.
• He has started 81 games in his career, including all 70 in which he has played over the past three seasons.
Bond Keeping Good Company

Turner's Fast Start
• Freshman point guard Zavier Turner is leading the Cardinals with averages of 12.8 points and 4.1 assists per game.
• He has reached double figures eight times this season.
• Turner became the first Cardinal with at least 17 points and at least four assists in the first three games of a season since Larry Bullington in 1973-74 and just the second to accomplish the feat since Ball State began tracking assists in 1973.
• He became the first Ball State freshman with at least 17 points in the first three games of a season since Jim Fields in 1975-76 and just the second since freshmen became eligible for varsity competition in 1972.
Turner Leading the Nation at the Stripe
• Zavier Turner ranks first in the country with a .971 free throw percentage, having made 34 of his 35 attempts from the charity stripe.
• He has made 27 straight free throws dating back to the second half of the Nov. 18 game against Southeast Missouri.
Turner from Beyond the Arc
• Zavier Turner also leads the MAC in 3-pointers per game (2.3) and is tied for sixth in the league in 3-point percentage (.450).
• Turner has hit at least three 3-pointers in six of the Cardinals' 12 games, including a career-high four at Marquette.
• He has been held without a trey only twice.
More Turner Rankings
• Zavier Turner also ranks in the top 20 in the MAC in minutes per game (31.6, 5th), assists per game (4.1, 6th) and points per game (12.8, 16th).
• He leads MAC freshmen in each of those categories (including the ones in the previous note) except 3-point percentage, where he ranks second only to teammate Mark Alstork (.483).
Majok One of the Nation's Best on the Boards
• Senior center Majok Majok leads the MAC and ranks 10th nationally in rebounding at 10.8 boards per game. He has recorded 45 rebounds over the past three games.
• He owns eight double-digit rebounding games, including a career-best 18-rebound effort last Friday against Oakland City. The 18 rebounds against Oakland City are the most in a game by a MAC player this season.
• Majok led the MAC last year and ranked 18th nationally at 9.8 rebounds per game.
Majok Majok's Double-Doubles
• Majok Majok is coming off his sixth double-double of the season and 15th of his Ball State career in a 16-points, 13-rebound performance versus Akron.
• With 25 points and 18 rebounds in the non-conference finale versus Oakland City, Majok became the first Ball State player with at least 20 points and 15 rebounds in a game since Terrance Chapman did it in a January 2005 game at Eastern Michigan.
• Majok is now averaging 11.3 points and 10.8 rebounds per game as one of 16 players in the country averaging a double-double.
• The last Ball State player to average a double-double in a season was Theron Smith, who tallied 19.6 points and 10.9 rebounds per game in 2001-02.
• For his two-year Ball State career, Majok is averaging 10.9 points and 10.1 rebounds per game.
Alstork Developing as Scorer
• Freshman Mark Alstork has reached double figures in six of the past eight games, including a career-high 13 points in the Jan. 3 non-conference finale versus Oakland City.
• Alstork has been efficient from beyond the arc this season, knocking down 48.3 percent (14 of 29) to rank second the MAC in 3-point percentage.
• He hit a trio of 3-pointers against both Marquette and Oakland City.
Persistent Crowder Gets His Chance
• Ball State walk-on senior guard Kindon Crowder has seen action in three of the past five games. He knocked down a 3-pointer against both Marquette and Southern Illinois.
• Crowder is a former team manager for the Cardinals who first earned a roster spot as a practice player a year ago.
• He played high school basketball his freshman year at St. Francis de Sales in Chicago but did not play his final three seasons at Munster High School in Indiana.
Youth and Experience
• Ball State's lineup this season is heavy on both experience and youth.
• There are only two scholarship players on the Cardinals' roster outside the freshman and senior classes, so those two classes account for the majority of the minutes on the floor.
• Ball State's freshmen have stepped in to make an immediate impact, accounting for more than 42 percent of the team's minutes and scoring.
Berry Reaches 1,000
• Senior guard Jesse Berry surpassed 1,000 points for his career Nov. 30 at Cleveland State.
• He now owns 1,056 career points, the most of any current Ball State player.
• Berry is the 27th member of Ball State's 1,000-point club. Former teammate Jauwan Scaife, now a graduate student manager for the Cardinals, became the 26th member last season.
Berry from Downtown
• Jesse Berry matched his career-high with six 3-pointers Dec. 30 at James Madison.
• Berry has moved into third place on Ball State's all-time 3-pointers list with 184 for his career. He ranks second in school history with 531 3-point attempts.
• Former Ball State teammate Jauwan Scaife set the school record for 3-pointers last year, finishing his career with 203 treys. Patrick Jackson (1998-2002) is second with 202.
Varying Lineup Combinations
• Ball State has utilized seven different starting lineup combinations through its first 12 games.
• Nine different Ball State players have started at least one game.
• Chris Bond has started all 12 games, while Turner and Majok have each made 11 starts.
Whitford Era Underway
• James Whitford, who was introduced April 10, 2013 as the 19th head coach in program history, earned his first career win in the Cardinals' 73-53 victory Nov. 12 over Taylor.
• Whitford came to Ball State after serving the previous eight years on Sean Miller's staff at Xavier and Arizona, including the past two as the Wildcats' associate head coach.
• He also has previous MAC experience with 11 years at Miami University under head coaches Herb Sendek and Charlie Coles.
• During his career as an assistant coach, Whitford's teams posted an overall record of 400-208 and reached the postseason 13 times, including 10 NCAA tournament appearances.
Kamieniecki to Miss Season
• Senior post player Matt Kamieniecki is sitting out the season after undergoing wrist surgery. He will redshirt and return to the floor as a fifth-year senior in 2014-15.
• Kamieniecki has played in 74 games through his first three seasons at Ball State. He averaged 4.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as a junior, starting 11 of the final 16 games after being limited by injury in the first half of the season.
• At this point, Kamieniecki will be the only senior on next year's Ball State roster.
Returning for the Cardinals
• The loss of Matt Kamieniecki leaves Ball State with six returning letterwinners from last year, four of which are seniors -- center Majok Majok, guard Jesse Berry and forwards Chris Bond and Tyler Koch.
• Ball State's two additional returning letterwinners are both sophomores in forward Bo Calhoun and guard Chase Brogna.
Majok Tabbed Preseason All-MAC
• Majok Majok was named preseason All-MAC West Division in a vote of the league's media. He was joined in the West Division by Toledo's Rian Pearson and Julius Brown, Western Michigan's Shayne Whittington and Eastern Michigan's Glenn Bryant.
• The preseason All-MAC East Team consisted of Buffalo's Javon McCrea and Will Regan, Akron's Demetrius Treadwell and Quincy Diggs, and Miami's Will Felder.

The mobile wall of West Virginia Vietnam veterans who were killed in action, held as prisoners of war or deemed missing in action may soon be traveling to a county near you.
The West Virginia State Council Vietnam Veterans of America mobile wall committee is raising funds to build the memorial for all the state Vietnam veterans.
This list includes 733 West Virginians who are the true heroes that gave their lives in the Vietnam war. Among these there are 17 MIAs who are still missing.
The state council has sent requests to all 55 county commissions, along with the state lawmakers, in an effort to raise the $20,000 required to construct the monument. Braxton, Fayette, Mercer and Pocahontas counties have each donated $500 and Harrison County donated $1,000.
The mobile wall will travel throughout the state and visit every county. It will not have a permanent home, it will always be on the move; the intent is to take it to the communities and the public who may not have the opportunity to visit the wall in Washington, D.C., or have not seen the traveling wall before. It is an opportunity to remember and pay homage to those who gave their all.
There are 12 chapters of Vietnam Veterans of America in the state of West Virginia and the state council, in which each one will host a showing of the memorial at their respective locations. The mobile wall will eventually travel to every other area of the state.
The wall will be constructed by JD Signs of Fairmont once the funds are raised. The wall is made of 12 panels depicting 733 service members from West Virginia who were killed, held as prisoners of war or listed as MIAs.
The panels are two feet by four feet and made of a light composite material. The length of the wall is about 13 feet on each two-sided section, bringing the total length to about 26 feet. It will sit and be supported on a two-tier pedestal for a total height of about six feet.
The logos of the VVA and AVVA, along with the logos of the Army-Marines-Navy-Air Force-Coast Guard and Merchant Marines, will be displayed.
For more information, call 304-376-0410 or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Cross-Cultural Connection
Members of the NAMI Connection support group for Arab women in Salt Lake City.
By Taylor Poor, NAMI Education Program Coordinator
For the members of the NAMI Connection support group for Arab women in Salt Lake City, talking about their mental health experiences in a group setting isn't just a question of opening up. The women who have joined the NAMI Connection group come from countries where they were "second class citizens often unable to speak and/or exercise rights that come for granted to you and me," according to Jacqueline Gµmez-Arias, NAMI Utah's Programs Coordinator and Diversity Outreach Coordinator. These women "do not always feel comfortable raising [an] opinion outside their homes," she added, especially "when there are men around." Ms. Gµmez-Arias knew that if she wanted to reach and support these women with the mental health resources NAMI offers, she had to provide a safe and comfortable space where they felt empowered and independent.
A conversation in early 2012 with Dr. Teresa Molina, a professor at the University of Utah who was at that time working with victims of war and torture, inspired Ms. Gµmez-Arias to reach out to Arab women. Together, she and Dr. Molina set up a partnership between NAMI Utah and University Neighborhood Partners (UNP), a community-based research program associated with the University of Utah. Ms. Gµmez-Arias's role on the County Office of Diversity Affairs Health Committee led to the office's sponsorship of a mental health awareness and outreach event, to attempt to bring women together and demonstrate the NAMI Connection support group model.
Since that first meeting in May 2012, the members of the Connection support group have discussed the difficulties of immigration, depression, feelings of powerlessness and even thoughts of suicide, stemming from the challenges of displacement, adjusting to a new system and grieving for past losses. Ms. Gµmez-Arias emphasizes how important it has been to allow the women in the group "to experience the feeling of helping each other through their own experiences, then let them decide if they would like to continue with [the] group, offering only our support in facilitating it." The group has never faced any scrutiny due to the fact that it only accepts women; no member, or non-member, has ever challenged its women-only status. It's "not even a question," said Ms. Gµmez-Arias. "There [would] be an issue if men enter the group and probably lots of questions."
Could NAMI learn from the success of Ms. Gµmez-Arias's outreach efforts in its organization-wide attempts to expand the diversity of its programs? Translating outreach material, something the NAMI Multicultural Action Center and the NAMI Education Department have been working on, is a "good step," said Ms. Gµmez-Arias, "but is only opening the door. We need to go in, sit down, have dinner and listen, in other words be their friends and then offer our help after gaining trust and genuine understanding."
"We all prefer to use our own language and feel more comfortable with people who share our culture and experiences," she continued. Training bilingual facilitators and coordinators could be helpful in reaching out to diverse populations, while "housing the groups in a familiar place, like a resettlement or community agencies," might temper the difficulties of introducing sensitive, unfamiliar topics like mental illness.
Moreover, "refugees are often victims [of] war, displacement and torture . [They] are now rebuilding their lives in survival mode. There is so much to learn and do before they ever think of taking a course for two and a half hours once a week." In other words, a class or a support group might not be a number one priority for many families who are concerned about basic necessities like transportation and employment. For example, Ms. Gµmez-Arias explained that the primary reason for families' lack of participation in support groups is a need for child care. She suggests approaching immigrants who have already lived in the United States for three or more years, and who may therefore be more inclined to think about mental health and NAMI support groups. Volunteering is not a typical concept in many other cultures, especially when a family's primary needs have not been met.
In order to effectively address the mental health concerns of the communities NAMI seeks to reach, we must ask them where they're coming from, and what they really need. After that, Ms. Gµmez-Arias reminds us, the cycle continues on its own: "If we help them, they will in turn help the newcomer."

Defining the Cheater Stick and Stick Clip
What's the difference between a cheater stick and a stick clip? Do I need both?
Both items are sticks that you rig a quickdraw to, and use to reach up and clip a piece of gear, usually a bolt, that is out of reach. Now, the actual name of the device will vary depending on how it is used. Imagine that your name is Richard, but some people call you Dick. You get the idea.
When you take a stick up on a big wall and use it to reach past a cruxy placement, saving you time or sparing you from certain death, or perhaps both, you are cheating. Therefore, you are using a cheater stick.
Now, while sport climbers think that all aid climbing is cheating, when they use a stick to clip the first (or even second) bolt on their route, potentially saving themselves from a nasty ankle wrenching, it is not cheating. Never mind that said bolt is usually at a height regularly soloed by children, drunks and hillbillies hot after shiny snaplinks. To the sport climber, using a stick clip just seems like the smart thing to do.
Does the distinction seem arbitrary? Find happiness in nihilism, the belief that everything is arbitrary, and whatever choice you make will be as empty and meaningless as the option.

Top Senate Committees Set for Changes
Long-Time Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye Dies at 88
WASHINGTON–The news of long-serving Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii's death after a short illness could lead to a change of leadership at several of the most important senatorial committees with top ranking lawmakers potentially exchanging gavels.
Mr. Inouye had chaired the Appropriations Committee, traditionally seen as the most powerful of all Senate panels, as it controlled funding for the roughly one third of the federal budget allocated by Congress each year.
In recent years, the power of the committee has been somewhat limited both due to the banning of lawmakers' pet projects — known as earmarks — that have traditionally been doled out by the appropriations chairman, and due to the wider preoccupation with cutting, rather than allocating, federal spending. Despite this, a seat on the panel is still highly sought after by senators, and controlling its gavel is one of the most important roles in Congress.
If the ultimate Senate tradition of respecting seniority is to be continued, then Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont is in line to take over the Appropriations Committee. But Mr. Leahy is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, a role he is known to thoroughly enjoy, so he may decide to remain where he is.
Were Mr. Leahy to turn down the job, Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, currently the chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee would be next in line to replace Mr. Inouye. That would be seen as a significant promotion and it would be likely that Mr. Harkin would make the move.
But if Mr. Leahy does take the appropriations gavel, that would open up the top job at the judiciary panel. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California would be in line to replace him. She is currently chairman of the influential Intelligence Committee, and again could opt to remain there.
These decisions could take several days to be finalized. A senior Democratic leadership aide said that it shouldn't be taken for granted that the seniority rule would be followed, saying there are "a lot of moving pieces."
A spokesman for the appropriations committee would only say that Mr. Leahy is in line to the panel chairmanship under the seniority rules. A spokesman for the Judiciary Committee wasn't immediately available to comment for this article.
Whoever takes over at the judiciary committee could face the task of shepherding through the confirmation of one, and perhaps more, Supreme Court nominees in the coming years.
Already, Democrats are set to have changes to at least two committees – Budget and Homeland Security – due to the retirements of their current chairman. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington will add the budget gavel to her existing leadership role while Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware will assume control of the homeland security committee.
Until he was admitted to the hospital over the weekend, Mr. Inouye had been working to reach consensus on an emergency spending bill to assist victims of Superstorm Sandy. Debate on that $60 billion legislation began on the Senate floor on Monday and is expected to take at least the rest of the week to finalize.
Mr. Inouye and his staff had drafted a bill that was largely based on the Obama administration's request for program funding in the wake of the devastation wrought by the storm to the Eastern U.S. in late October.
Regardless of his decision over whether or not to take over the appropriations panel, Mr. Leahy will succeed Mr. Inouye as the President Pro Tempore of the Senate as the longest serving member of the majority party.
In this role, Mr. Leahy will be officially in charge of the Senate in Vice President Joe Biden's absence, and sits fourth in line to the presidency after the vice president and speaker of the House of Representatives.
Below, WSJ's Naftali Bendavid discusses Sen. Inouye's career.

College Football picks against the spread invariably come with risks. Seriously, just look at last night and what happened to Oklahoma State at Iowa State.
Sometimes we think these things are better left to people like B/R handicapping guru Jeff Grant.
But that would go against our barstool mentality to be an amateur handicapper and try to pick the biggest games of the week.
So sit back, let us bring you some thoughts on a few games and how see them. We wouldn't exactly bet the house with these picks. The garage, maybe. The shed in the backyard, perhaps. But not the house.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
By Steven ReinbergHealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, March 27 (HealthDay News) -- Many people are still dying in hospitals, despite the fact that there has been a decrease in the number of patients who spend their final days in a setting that most would rather avoid, a new government report shows.
While the number of people admitted to U.S. hospitals increased 11 percent between 2000 and 2010, going from 31.7 million to 35.1 million, the number of people who died in hospitals dropped 8 percent, from 776,000 to 715,000, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The drop in hospital deaths occurred largely among women, the researchers found.
"That could just be that there were more older women who were able to be placed in alternative settings, because women live longer. That's just a hypothesis," said report author Margaret Jean Hall, from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The report was released Wednesday and published in the March NCHS Data Brief.
Overall, the in-hospital death rate is 20 percent lower for people who die from their diagnosed disease, Hall said. For some conditions, however, the decrease is even greater. For example, the in-hospital death rate is down 65 percent for kidney disease, 46 percent for cancer and 27 percent for stroke, Hall noted.
"Almost all of the major reasons people [who are hospitalized die] have gone down," Hall added. "This doesn't mean they are going home or [being] cured, but they aren't dying in the hospital in as large an extent as they were in earlier years."
Because people generally prefer to die at home and not in the hospital, "this is a good sign," Hall pointed out. "But we don't know where they go right after leaving the hospital."
Many patients could be going to nursing homes or to long-term care facilities, Hall suggested. "But these alternatives are less intense and maybe closer to a setting that would be preferable to the high-tech hospital," she explained.
The one area where the in-hospital death rate has increased involved cases of life-threatening blood infections, jumping 17 percent from 2000 to 2010. Whether these infections developed in the hospital isn't known because the report only deals with the conditions patients were diagnosed with when they were admitted to the hospital, Hall said.
Highlights of the report include:
One expert thinks the report is a good argument for better end-of-life care.
"I think this points out several key gaps in the health care system," said Dr. R. Sean Morrison, director of the National Palliative Care Research Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
One is the need for community palliative care services, he said.
Although palliative care teams are in place at most hospitals, they are still not very accessible to people in the community, he explained. "Without community palliative care, it is very hard for seriously ill persons to receive the care they need at home," Morrison said.
In addition, while insurance covers hospital care comprehensively, the cost of the same care at home is largely borne by patients because it is not covered by insurance, he noted.
"People want to be cared for where they feel safe," Morrison said. "If there are large gaps in coverage at home, even if they would prefer to be at home, they are likely to end up in hospital."

Moshannon Valley High School girls basketball has been about as close to a revolving door for coaches in the last half-dozen years as there has been in the area, going from Tom Tomasko to Aaron Mills to Van Cornish.
Nothing, though, is as unusual as having a coaching change in midseason, which the Damsels endured when Cornish stepped down in late January.
Junior varsity and former junior high coach Michelle Grube has filled in for Mo Valley, which is 2-17, but it's still up in the air whether or not the school will need to find yet another coach for the 2013-14. Recently married, Grube, who works at Penn State, is expecting a child over the summer.
"I actually haven't decided if I will be back next year or not," Grube said. "I have worked with a lot of the girls since they were in fifth and sixth grade. They are a great group of young ladies, and I really enjoy working with them. It's a tough decision since they are such a great group."
Conference finals
Three area conferences are slated to hold championship games on Saturday night, with teams from the Mirror coverage area taking the court in five of the contests.
In the Inter-County Conference games at Claysburg-Kimmel High School, both games are set. The Bellwood-Antis girls will try to turn the tables on Southern Fulton in a rematch of last year's final, with the B-A boys taking on Northern Bedford in the nightcap.
Bishop Guilfoyle and Westmont Hilltop have clinched berths in the Laurel Highlands Conference girls championship game at the Richland Field House. The spots in the boys game, though, as still up in the air. Bishop Carroll is just ahead of Bishop Guilfoyle and Penn Cambria to be the Section 1 boys representative, while Johnstown and Bishop McCort are in contention to be the Section 2 team.
The Portage girls, barring an upset loss to North Star, will be in the WestPAC championship, taking on Berlin Brothersvalley. It would be the Lady Mustangs' first time to play for the WestPAC crown.
Record high
Her team is only 4-16, but that hasn't stopped Shanksville-Stonycreek senior Kayla Stockenus from putting together a season to remember.
Stockenus scored all but 10 of the Lady Vikings' points in a 69-37 loss to Windber on Tuesday. That wasn't even one of her best games of the year, but it put her in rare company by putting her above the 2,000-point plateau for her career.
Stockenus enters the week with 601 points and an average of 30.1 per game.
District 5 playoffs
As far as playoff seedings are concerned, the District 6 regular season wrapped up on Thursday. District 5, however, takes in the entire season, minus tournament games, so some of its races are going down to the final week.
Of the greatest impact to area readers, Everett is trying to hold off Tussey Mountain for the No. 1 seed in Class AA girls. Those teams meet in Saxton tonight, but it looks like the Lady Warriors will stay on top even if they lose.
Class AA boys also has a distinct area flavor, with three of the teams likely to advance coming out of Blair County. Chestnut Ridge was chasing Conemaugh Township for the top spot, but the Lions' hopes were dealt a big blow by three losses last week. Northern Bedford and Tussey also are part of what looks like it will be a very entertaining bracket, while Everett is dueling Windber for the sixth and final slot.
There aren't any boys teams from the Mirror coverage area in 5-A - although H.O.P.E. for Hyndman from just outside will be part of the field - but Northern Bedford is contending for a first-round home game on the girls side.
It doesn't look like any wild-card teams will qualify.
D6 update
Basketball chairman T.J. Kakabar reports that 53 teams entered the District 6 playoffs in Class AAA, AA and A. The seedings and brackets are expected to be unveiled early this week, possibly today.

Jack Osbourne to the rescue!
Although the newlywed, 26, doesn't take full credit for bringing a drowning woman back to life, he certainly aided in the process.
"I was approached by a family member telling me he had just seen a woman being pulled out of the water who'd drowned," Osbourne, who has been honeymooning in Hawaii, writes on his Facebook page, of the Oct. 8 incident. "I grabbed my friend Tyler who was a former Army operator and we went to see if we could be of assistance."
Pointing out that he is a former police reservist who has a lot of CPR training as a first responder, Osbourne goes on to say, "I am not an EMT or paramedic, but I have assisted in resuscitating individuals in the past."
Describing the woman as totally "unconscious," the TV personality says there were five people on the scene to help.
"A neurosurgeon from Japan had taken charge in trying to manage the chaos, though she did not speak much English," Osbourne writes. "The woman had a J-tube in her airway, and the defibrillator had already been used. Two women were assisting in chest compressions, and another was operating the Ambu bag."
Eventually managing to get the "woman's lifeless body" onto a golf cart, Osbourne and his pal switched positions, with the reality star straddling the lady in order to get the right amount of leverage to perform chest compressions.
"We waited for the EMT for approximately 4-6 minutes [in front of the hotel]," Osbourne says. "During that time, I continued to administer chest compressions. As soon as the EMTs arrived, I backed away and let them take over."
Rebutting "hostile and rather rude" online rumors that he claimed to take sole credit for rescuing the woman, Osbourne says simply, "I haven't said anything at all. The last thing I want to do is take all of the credit when in fact there were a few people who helped save her life."
On a brighter note, "From what I've heard, she's doing better and is now awake," he says. "I hope she has a speedy recovery."

Just remember that you cannot benefit twice from moving expenses. Many companies offer reimbursement for moving and travel expenses incurred by new employees, so if your boss has paid, Uncle Sam doesn't want to get the bill, too. This only applies if you've moved for a new job on your own dime.
No. 2: Business meals
PeopleJam.com advises consumers to consider business meals for deductions and write-offs.
For example, if you're taking a candidate for a lunch interview or entertaining sales clients at dinner, the bill might be deductible under certain scenarios.
Of course this only applies if you pick up the tab and business is actually discussed.
The most important thing to remember about business deductions and write-offs for taxes is that only half the bill is usually eligible for deductions, and this will vary depending on how much you spend and whether the meal seems legitimate.
As with relocation expenses, you also cannot claim meal costs on your taxes if your employer reimburses you for them.
Beware of going overboard though. The IRS forbids deductions of lavish and extravagant meals, and if you do get audited it may prove difficult to show the necessity of such expensive meals.
No. 1: Mileage expenses
If you use your vehicle for business, you'll want to keep one number in mind: 50.
That's how many cents each mile of your business-related driving -- not including your daily commute -- is worth as a write-off for your 2010 taxes.
But the IRS doesn't limit driving write-offs to just business traveling. You can also claim 16.5 cents for medical trips and 14 cents for each charity-related mile you drive, as long as you are making a dedicated trip to volunteer for a qualified nonprofit.
But the business driving expenses you can deduct don't stop with some help covering the ever-increasing cost of tax. You can also deduct any parking fees and tolls you pay as part of the business use of your vehicle.
If you feel that 50 cents per mile is a little low, you also have the option of calculating the actual costs of using your car for work. Details on how to claim those costs can be found on the IRS' website.

Less than halfway through the current flu season, the number of influenza cases in Weld County has already surpassed the total number of reports last year.
As of Thursday, 43 Weld County residents have been hospitalized due to influenza this season, which started on Oct. 7, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Last year, there were 35 hospitalized cases seen during the flu season, which runs through spring.
"Until we're a fair way through the year, it's difficult to predict whether it will be a mild or moderate year," said Lisa Miller, epidemiologist with the state health department. "It looks like a moderate or potentially severe year."
North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley has seen 38 hospitalized flu patients this season, up from three at this time last year, said John Breen, infectious disease physician at NCMC. It is double the 19 hospitalizations that NCMC treated in the entire 2012 season.
Statewide, 506 hospitalizations have occurred, according to a weekly report published by the state health department. This year, there have been two pediatric deaths due to the flu, both outside of Weld County. Adult deaths related to influenza are not recorded, Miller said.
"We're calling it an early flu season," said Jo Peden, epidemiologist at the Weld County Department of Public Health. She added that the number of cases won't necessarily drop off after the early start.
February is usually the peak month of influenza activity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Weld County officials discussed the current rate of influenza cases at a meeting on Wednesday.
"It's hard to say how much higher it'll go, but we're certainly not calling it an alarm at this point," said Eric Aakko, a spokesman for the county health department.
Health officials stress the importance of the flu vaccination for people of all ages.
"While the vaccine is not 100 percent, it will ameliorate it if you get the flu and have been vaccinated," Breen said.
Vaccinations are in ample supply this year in Weld County, unlike some previous years when shortages were seen, according to Aakko.
"It's not too late," Aakko said. "There is definitely vaccination available."
The CDC releases one vaccine to the northern hemisphere each season to address both types of influenza. According to the CDC, the current vaccine fights 99.3 percent of Influenza A (H3N2) viruses, all Influenza A (H1N1) viruses and 68.7 percent of Influenza B viruses.
Peden clarified that, while the vaccination is effective for respiratory influenza, it will not address norovirus, or the stomach flu.
"Especially right now, I like to point that out because there's also a lot of norovirus going around," she said.
The vaccination is available in shot and nasal spray form and can be found at pharmacies and health clinics.

Monday, January 14, 2013
The Pinewood Prep boys opened region play Jan. 4 with a 61-55 home win against Hilton Head Prep.
The Panthers had four players in double figures with Reid Radebaugh leading the way with 15 points, Ryan Felder with 12, Corbin Landers with 11 and Ahmad Ray with 10. Austin McCray and Ryan Felder both pulled down nine rebounds for the Panthers.
Pinewood led 48-44 going into the fourth quarter in a tough defensive game. Radebaugh stepped up with six big points in the quarter and Jimmy Thomas hit a big three pointer with about two minutes to go that gave the Panthers a working margin. Thomas and McCray both finished with five assists.
On Tuesday, Pinewood suffered a tough road loss to Hilton Head Christian 50-49.
The Eagles Caleb Lewis hit a 35-foot three pointer off the glass with one second left to send the game into overtime. The Panthers were only able to make one free throw in the four-minute overtime and came up short. Felder paced Pinewood with 19 points and 10 rebounds while Radebaugh added 15 points.
Pinewood continues region play with a road game against Northwood Academy Friday.

LA Noire Review
We've had games that let us play cop before, of course, but it's hard to remember anything that's ever come this close to making us feel like we're actually doing the job.
The following review is spoiler-free.
It always starts like this: a wooden yellow barrier, men in uniform, and a crowd of curious civilians at the circumference of a tragedy. Come rain or shine, domestic spat, serial killing or accidental overdose, the rubberneckers are a constant presence throughout your time in LA Noire. They stand at the boundaries, gossiping and craning to catch a glimpse of the corpse. They don't really care about the victim - who they were or how they died. They just want to take a good look.
And yet as much as we may look down on these gawkers, their morbid nosiness is ultimately equal to our own. Team Bondi and Rockstar understand this all too well, and LA Noire is an unrelenting exercise in feeding that appetite for death. At the same time, it is also a game that delves deep into our love of detective movies - just as Red Dead Redemption did for the Western this time last year.
But despite what some people may be expecting, this isn't another open-world action game in the vein of Rockstar's previous heavy-hitters. There are similarities, certainly, but the core gameplay is generally closer to the likes of Heavy Rain or the Phoenix Wright series than to the gunfights and vehicle chases of Bellic and Marston. Prior to playing the final code, one of my biggest concerns with LA Noire lay with how the action would be handled; it was clear from early on that Team Bondi was going for a measured, thoughtful approach to the investigative scenes, but how was that going to mesh with the moments where the bullets started flying? It seemed inevitable that the game would have them, but how many baddie-packed scenes could the story sustain before the illusion of reality came crashing down like a house of cards?
As it turns out, Team Bondi's solution has been to make combat an entirely optional affair for the majority of the game. As you drive about the city, soaking up the meticulous splendour of 1947 LA, your colleagues at Dispatch will alert you to crimes taking place in the nearby area. Accept, and you'll race across town to engage in a quick bout of terse violence - a botched robbery, perhaps, or a personal disagreement that's led to someone sprouting a triplet of leaky holes in their chest. As soon as you've completed the self-contained episode, it's back to the heart of the game, to the thoughtful world of procedure and inspection. And, if you never took the call, it's a world you never left in the first place.
The point I'm trying to make, in long-winded fashion, is that plot and character are the bricks and mortar of LA Noire. The story begins in strangely staccato fashion, introducing protagonist Cole Phelps and ushering you through a smattering of brief assignments as a patrolman. Eventually you'll pass through four major crime desks - Traffic, Homicide, Vice and Arson - but before then it's time to learn the basics. Here, at the bottom of the food chain, you'll be trained to dissect a crime scene, which in turns means learning to listen for the subtle cues that guide your efforts: sleuth-y music to indicate the presence of clues, and soft piano stings to denote the presence of an item that can be inspected.
At the touch of the button you'll closer inspect the object in question, turning it over in your hand with gentle manipulation of the left analogue stick. If there's more to it than what initially meets the eye, vibrations will guide you to a sweet spot that will then reveal further information. Useful observations are jotted in Phelps' notebook, and in the early days useless objects will be greeted with some form of dismissive comment from the man himself. Later in the game these aids will disappear, but by this point you'll have a natural instinct with regards to the items that litter each crime scene. You'll walk in, survey the surroundings, and make a bee-line for the trinket that stands out like a sore thumb.

6 cups high-gluten flour
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon salt
2-1/8 cups lukewarm water
1/2 cup olive oil
Mix all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Be sure to keep yeast from coming into direct prolonged contact with the salt. Add water and oil, stir until flour has absorbed most of the liquid, then put dough ball on a table and finish kneading by hand until dough is smooth and aromatic, 15 to 20 minutes. Roll into three dough balls, brush with olive oil and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. Remove dough balls and let warm up at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before using.
Coat a deep-dish pizza pan with olive oil, roll out dough to fit pan, place dough in pan, set in a warm spot for several hours and let it rise to about 75 percent of the desired size.
Place pan in the oven at 300 degrees and partially bake, pulling it out just before it starts to brown. Add sauce, cheese and toppings and bake or cool the crust and put it in an airtight food bag in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Lawsuits against hospitals and other health care entities alleging liability for patient harms are brought and settled routinely in the United States. However, the settlement by health care giant Tenet Healthcare, on the eve of trial on March 23, 2011, in Preston v Tenet Healthsystem Memorial Medical Center,1 falls outside the norm of routine entity liability cases. The class of plaintiffs in New Orleans alleged not just that Tenet's emergency responses at its Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina were insufficient but that Tenet's failure to prepare for a foreseeable emergency caused their harms. Avoiding the prospect of a negative judgment at trial, Tenet's settlement implicates the increasing potential for health care entities to incur liability for deficiencies in emergency preparedness. It may renew demands to immunize entities from liability in future emergencies and requires a reassessment of the legal standard by which hospitals and other health care entities may be judged.

By 1992 he had upgraded to a slide projector and carried around 18 slide carousels with thousands of slides. When PowerPoint came out Dr. Hovind seized the opportunity to go digital and has not looked back since. This PowerPoint presentation represents thousands of hours of research at your fingertips (or mouse tips) along with footnotes to reference the information.
The last in the seminar series, Questions and Answers, covers a variety of topics including radiometric dating and the speed of light in relation to star distance. In addition to "primitive man" and race origins, Dr. Hovind discusses the mark of the beast and supposed contradiction's in the Bible.

Those who cannot - or will not - remember the past indeed may be condemned to repeat it. Knowledge of that peril should spur members of an Ohio Supreme Court committee studying capital punishment to probe whether racial bias has been a factor in condemning people to death.
Justice is supposed to be blind in all ways in America. Yet we know that at times in the past, race played a role in how both victims and perpetrators of crimes were treated.
One of the tasks faced by the high court's Race and Ethnicity subcommittee is determining whether new safeguards are needed to ensure that decisions to impose the death penalty against those guilty of heinous crimes are made objectively and strictly according to the law. There is reason to believe that may not always have been the case.
An Associated Press analysis in 2005 concluded that in the past, those who murdered white victims in Ohio had been more likely to be sentenced to death than those who killed blacks. Other studies elsewhere in the country have demonstrated that in some areas, blacks were more likely than whites to be sentenced to death.
Such studies raise many questions. Chief among them is whether racial biases are a factor today.
Racial bias of any kind in any context is abhorrent to all but an extremely tiny minority of Ohioans. It would be nice to believe it is not a factor in administering justice,
But desiring it does not necessarily make it so.
For that reason is it imperative the state Supreme Court panel discover whether discrimination has occurred, as a basis for guarding against it in the future.
This month, subcommittee members postponed action on a couple of proposals to collect information on racial bias in homicide cases. At the same time, the panel approved important recommendations to guard against discrimination, whether overt or subconscious, in the future.
As disturbing as it may be to learn about bias in the past, the panel should approve collection of data on death penalty cases in the past - with one goal being to determine not just whether it occurred, but also when. Again, not understanding history, especially more recent events, is an invitation to repeating terrible mistakes made in the past.

|Looking at Transistor Gate Oxide Formation in Real Time
The oxide gate layer is critical to every transistor, and present-day layer thicknesses are in the 10–20 Å range (1–2 nm). However, little information exists on the oxidation process at this thickness. Available results are either for thicker layers grown under high-pressure conditions or for only the first couple of monolayers studied under high-vacuum conditions. Now, for the first time, a group of researchers has obtained real-time oxidation results for this elusive range. Using the ambient-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) endstation at ALS Beamline 9.3.2, they examined oxidation of Si(100) at pressures up to 1 torr and temperatures up to 450 ºC. The Si 2p chemical shifts allowed determination of oxide thickness as a function of time with a precision of 1–2 Å. The initial oxidation rate was very high (up to ~234 Å/h). Then, after an initial oxide thickness of 6–22 Å was formed, the rate decreased markedly (~1.5–4.0Å/h). Neither rate regime can be explained by the standard Deal-Grove (D-G) model for Si oxidation. These results are a significant step toward developing a better understanding of this critical thickness regime.
Silicon oxidation has been greatly studied via various characterization techniques. This research is generally divided into two categories: that which looks at oxide thicknesses of 100 angstroms or more, for which a D-G model can be used to predict the oxide growth kinetics, and more fundamental surface science studies at roughly the single monolayer level. However, a gap in our knowledge of kinetics exists in the thickness regime of current oxide gate layers, for which the D-G model does not apply. Real-time surface science studies of oxidation kinetics using photoelectron spectroscopy have also been limited to oxidation pressures of <10–5 torr, far below the multi-torr regime of real semiconductor processing.
The research team studied the oxidation rate of a Si(100) surface via chemical-state-resolved APXPS. They monitored Si 2p core levels in real time during oxidation, with spectra having high sensitivity to the surface and, via chemical shifts in binding energy, the individual oxidation states created during oxidation.
The Si 2p core-level spectrum of oxidized Si exhibits a bulk-silicon component (Si0) and various oxide components that demonstrate a higher binding energy of up to about 4.4 eV. The peak at the lowest binding energy is accepted as that of elemental Si (Si0) and the peak at the ca. 4.4 eV higher binding energy as that of stoichiometric oxide (Si4+). From the measured ratio of Si4+ intensity to Si0, the thickness of stoichiometric SiO2 as a function of time can be calculated with 1–2 Å precision.
Si 2p spectra were obtained at 30-second intervals over a two-hour period at pressures of 0.01–1 torr and temperatures of 300–530 ºC. The time evolution of the oxide thickness reveals two kinetic regimes: a rapid regime at the beginning of oxidation and a subsequent slow regime in which the growth is much reduced. The oxide thickness of the break point dividing the two regimes is between about 6 and 22 angstroms and strongly depends on oxidation temperature and pressure. These drastic changes in rate curves cannot be explained by the D-G model. The oxidation rates in the rapid and slow regimes are 64–234 Å/h and 1.5–4.0 Å/h under test oxidation conditions, respectively, and are much larger than those deduced from the D-G model.
These rate curves should provide a unique test of alternative kinetic models in this important parameter regime. In addition to this study, oxidation of silicon with both oxygen and water present, as is often the case in industrial processing, has been examined, providing additional first-of-a-kind data for this important process. Future studies are planned at higher pressures and of more complex oxide combinations that are replacing simple SiO2.

Skyla Campbell lights up when she talks about the children in other countries who have T-shirts, soccer balls or crayons thanks to her.
How to help
Here are ways to help Skyla Campbell with her global outreach initiative:
Send email to firstname.lastname@example.com to make a donation of goods or to donate money to cover the shipping costs and baggage fees for donations as they make their way to the various countries.
Drop off new and used soccer balls at East Cooper Sporting Goods, 887 Ben Sawyer Blvd. in Mount Pleasant and at Kids Teeth locations in Park West and 1073 Johnnie Dodds Blvd., Mount Pleasant.
Buy books for schools across the world. Barnes & Noble in Towne Centre in Mount Pleasant is hosting a book drive Nov. 23-29. Purchase books in the store or buy online at www.barnesandnoble.com. Once the books are in the online shopping cart, note they are for a bookfair and then enter code: 11224888.
As part of a 4-H community service project, Skyla has been asking local and national businesses to provide donations for schools and orphanages all over the globe.
"You have an impact on people who otherwise wouldn't have anything," she said.
Don't be fooled by the fact Skyla is 14; her determination and commitment are well beyond her age. She has no problem emailing online businesses to ask for T-shirt donations or approaching the Barnes & Noble in Mount Pleasant, which is a favorite hangout for Skyla and her friends, about a book drive for children in the more than dozen countries she is helping.
Her family endures the boxes of art supplies, shirts and books piled around the house. Her dad Andy pitches in for shipping costs. Her older sister Savannah drives her around town to pick up donations. It's a family affair.
The concepts of community service and hard work are values Skyla said her parents have instilled in their four children. Because the children are homeschooled, mom Liza Campbell made an extra effort to ensure community service would be part of their education.
A focus on service
About three years ago, Liza decided to start a local 4-H club, Charleston Change 4-H Club, with a focus on community service. There are a few 4-H sister clubs in the Charleston area with about 40 children participating.
Liza said she appreciates the family atmosphere of 4-H, the core values that align with her own Christian beliefs and the emphasis on service.
Earlier this year, she met a local 4-H alumnae, Sarah Hipp, who has been doing mission work in Rwanda since 2006. Hipp is particularly active with Amahoro Children's School, helping collect supplies for the students there.
Hipp had coffee with Liza and Skyla, sharing the story of her work and the vast needs of the children in Rwanda. A couple of weeks later, Hipp heard from Skyla, who already had 10 organizations that wanted to help.
Liza joined with her co-workers at Pier One in Mount Pleasant to purchase more than 100 sock monkeys so the children could have their own toys. "Can you imagine your child not growing up with a favorite toy?" Liza said.
Hipp, her father and a friend traveled in Rwanda in August for three weeks, taking with them more than 400 pounds of shoes, shirts, toys and school supplies. Their suitcases were loaded down, and Hipp put out a call to her Facebook friends for help paying the extra baggage fees. She received just enough to cover the $570.
"It made a tremendous difference on our last trip," Hipp said of the donations. "The kids there were overwhelmed. Most of them had never had their own personal toy before. I can't tell you the difference it made in their lives. I know it sounds kind of cliche, but feeling joy is a human need. I got to see the delight on their faces. It really changed the ways kids responded to me and helped me build relationships."
Hipp said Skyla's efforts have been "tremendous."
"She's really driven, really focused, really passionate and yet really humble," Hipp said. "That makes a future leader really great. Confidence plus humility doesn't always come in the same package."
A global affair
Skyla has moved beyond the school in Rwanda, reaching out to organizations around the globe to see what they might need. She typically sends the supplies with volunteers headed to those overseas organizations. It saves on expensive international shipping costs as well as ensuring the donated goods make it into the hands of the needy children.
Skyla has sent donations to Change A Life Uganda, Vive Peru, The El Salvador Project, World Joy (Ghana), Esperanza de Honduras, Sustainable Cambodia, The Mali Fund, Shepherd's Field Orphanage and Ethiopia Reads, among others.
Hard work and the Internet have aided in Skyla's success. "Email has been used for everything," she said.
Skyla sits with her iPad, watching television and researching possible donors so she can email requests for clothing, books and school supplies.
A T-shirt company gave her 500 misprinted shirts. The Charleston Battery has given soccer balls.
Other organizations that have donated to Skyla's efforts include Peace Frogs; UberPrints.com; Artist and Craftsman; Kassis Bros. Shoes; Charleston Cotton Exchange; Customized Girl; Pier One employees in Mount Pleasant, North Charleston and West Ashley; Design a Shirt; The Citadel soccer team; Charleston Change 4-H Club members; Palmetto Moon; Chick-fil-A; and WonderWorks.
Being bold
It's been quite an undertaking for a 14-year-old girl from Mount Pleasant, but at no point is she undeterred. A favorite quote sums up her efforts: "To find yourself, you have to lose yourself in the service of others."
And it doesn't matter if you're 14 years old, Skyla said, if you have a desire, you simply "figure out how to do it."
"Be bold and be persistent," she said. "Don't give up on it. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't get sidetracked and lose faith in what you want to do."
Hipp agrees, "A lot of times we underestimate giving responsibility to teenagers, but they are passionate. If you can find a niche (for them) and let them go, it's amazing what they can do. You won't find anything more passionate than a 14-year-old on a mission."

Many organizations have the need to produce an audit trail of user actions. In many countries this is mandated by law and the data might need to be stored for a long period time. Liferay's Audit EE app provides a pluggable way of storing the audit trail from Liferay Portal EE and its apps by installing a service. The information is processed by the service in order to store the information into log files, a database, or both. The service leverages Liferay's Lightweight Message Bus and app architecture. The service handles the processing and logging of the audit messages sent through the message bus. Any app can then produce audit messages to the audit message bus destination. A set of audit message producers is implanted as a hook app to provide information on login, logout, user information changes, user role changes, etc. This app specifically registers a new destination (liferay/audit) and listener to the message bus. The listener dispatches the messages to the audit service for processing. Different processors can be registered with the audit service. By default, the app comes with a Database Processor and Log4J Processor. Processors can be either be global or for a specific event type. For instance database processor would be global but Log processor would be only for login events. This app also provides a reporting GUI which allows you to search and browse the audit events stored into database.
This app installs a Liferay service and will appear in your Application menu once installed.

is close to defying nature and extending human beings' life spans
tens of years by using replacement organs. The key to this
progress is stem
cells, the same kind of cells that differentiated to form your
original tissues.In England, a 10-year-old boy received
a groundbreaking
tracheal transplant at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in
London. The windpipe -- a flexible tube that connects the nose,
mouth and lungs -- was replaced with an organ that will grow inside
the boy's own body using the boy's own stem cells.The story
began when the boy was born with long segment tracheal stenosis, a
debilitating condition that leaves the victim with a 1 mm wide
airway, which can lead to suffocation and death. Doctors tried
to treat the condition with stents, but the stents collapsed, cutting
off the boy's airflow and damaging his aorta. After the boy
almost stopped breathing, his doctors contacted Paolo Macchiarini,
from Careggi University Hospital, Florence.Macchiarini
decided to try an ambitious and risky approach that had never before
been successfully performed -- regrowing the organ in the boy's own
body using stem cells. Leading a Italian, British and Spanish
team, the researchers first took a donor windpipe and stripped
it of all cells to prevent immune response.The
procedure has begun with a successful implant. Seeded with the
boy's stem cells and a cocktail of growth-promoting chemicals, the
tissue was implanted into the boy last Week. The boy responded
well, breathing normally and speaking soon after the
operation.Professor Martin Birchall, head of translational
regenerative medicine at University College London called the
procedure a "milestone moment" and pointed out that by
allowing the boy's own cells to regrow the tissue, the cost was
dramatically lowered to "tens of thousands pounds rather than
hundreds of thousands." He states, "We
believe it's a real milestone. It is the first time a child
has received stem-cell organ treatment, and it's the longest airway
that has ever been replaced. I think the technique will allow not
just highly specialized hospitals to carry out stem-cell organ
transplants. We don't think it's going to replace conventional
transplants just yet, but already there are certain aspects of
conventional transplant surgery it can be applied to. We need to
think about how to make regenerative medicine a key part of our
healthcare."The work follows other significant work two
years ago in Spain where Claudia Castillo, 30, became the first
person to receive a portion of trachea regrown with stem cells.
That transplant, however, was a much shorter tract of trachea and was
much more expensive as it was grown outside the body in a special
bioreactor.The researchers are looking forward to advancing
the treatment aggressively, perhaps next performing larynx or
oesophagus stem cell transplants.Despite this optimism, it
still remains to be seen whether the boy's recovery is as successful
as anticipated. Given Castillo's success, though, the boy is
expected to make a full recovery. And with that recovery
mankind will move one
step closer to immortality.

quote: On healthcare alone , per-capita spending is some $8K per year. Meaning that, even if we ignore food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and all other expenses, we are already to the point where one working person can only support 2 others.
