Schaefer International Gallery at Maui Arts & Cultural Center in Kahului will present an exhibition of three photographers, whose images serve as a vehicle for commentary on nature, cultural identity and social history. The exhibition, entitled Photography, Passion and Risk, will launch Sunday and run through July 21.
The photographers are Ed Goldstein, Miki Nitadori and Bruna Stude, who will share Schaefer gallery with three engaging bodies of work that explore the potential of traditional film, digital photography and time-based media.
Contemporary artworks that include video, film, slide, audio, or computer-based technologies are all referred to as time-based media, "Because they have duration as a dimension and unfold to the viewer over time" (as defined by the Guggenheim Museum in New York).

Big Island photographer Goldstein will display his exhibit, "America Hand Made." He began his career in the Los Angeles area as a successful commercial photographer in advertising, and then continued to hone his skills as a fine art photographer.
"I've always loved tools," he says of the exhibit. "I remember when I was a kid, I worked on my bicycle with a cast iron wrench and noticed how proud I felt to fix something with my own hands and strengths. That wrench became my friend I relied upon for my independence and freedom.
"In recent years, I've noticed that the traditional darkroom is being replaced with new state-of-the-art digital 'darkroom' equipment. In response to this, I have rescued old-process lenses that were to be consigned to the scrap heap and replaced with new technology. I have also salvaged darkroom safelights, enlargers and sinks. Simultaneously, I have been gathering traditional hand tools from garages, antique shops, scrap yards and friends' studios. The idea came to me that I should be using these handcrafted antique cameras and lenses to resurrect and honor the life in these tools."
Nitadori's exhibit, "Reflect," is based upon her childhood in several areas of the globe such as Thailand, Hawaii and Europe. Her art training began at the Parsons School of Design in Paris, and she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Paris American Academy, specializing in painting; and a certificate from Speos Photographic Institute.
Nitadori has collaborated with dancers and musicians in Paris since the 1990s as part of the artistic movement on Rue Rivoli. She currently resides there with her husband and two children.
Nitadori explains her works are about Japanese immigration revived in today's context, and multicultural Hawaii as seen in today's world.
"Through this exhibition, I wish that the audience will be able to enjoy the images of people of yesterday and today, and give another thought and light to common photographs (what may be sleeping in the dark corner of every household) to revalue their own cultural heritage."
"These works are very important to me, as they are closely linked to my identity as a Japanese, a foreigner, a migrant, an emigrant or an immigrant. I moved to Maui when I was 11 and it opened up a dialogue within me about history, immigration and integration. My meeting with older generation Japanese and Japanese-Americans changed my life. I am continuing my life in other countries but Maui has been important to me as it is one of the main inspirations."
Stude captures images of the ocean in her exhibit, "71%," with photographs that show off her signature form of the platinum /palladium prints, a process which provides the greatest tonal range of any printing method using chemical development.
A graduate from the Law University in Split, Croatia, Stude worked as a newspaper and radio reporter, then left Croatia in 1987 to pursue a life at sea. Forsaking her native environs, Stude says photography gave her a new identity in the life and rhythms of the sea.
She circumnavigated the globe several times, pausing sometimes for months in remote areas accessible only by water. In 2002, she found her new home on the island of Kauai.
"The world today is run by numbers," she says. "Everything is measured in percentages. So I thought, why not to look at the ocean in numbers. Oceans cover 71 percent of earth's surface. By the way, 95 percent of the underwater world is unexplored.
Presented by the MACC, the exhibit is curated by Gallery Director Neida Bangerter.
Schaefer International Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays as well as pre-shows and intermissions for Castle Theater events. Admission is always free. For more information, contact Bangerter at 243-4288; email@example.com.
Maui woodworker, Cole Warren, will be the featured artist at the Maui Crafts Guild in Paia from Friday through June 20. You may meet the artist during his opening reception from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Friday, when there will be refreshments and live music by Upcountry Celtic to enjoy. Known for turned wooden bowls and Banksia pens, Cole also creates small tables and makes long legged boxes from exotic woods he says he has "hoarded" for years. "The thrill of cutting into a chunk of burl to see what you've really got is why I do this. Please come to Paia and see the result of my efforts," he says.
The current artist in residence at the Village Galleries at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua is Fred KenKnight. Meet him at a special reception and exhibition
from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, lobby level of the hotel.
"Currently, for a change of pace and my own pleasure, I am painting mostly abstracts, relying on color and form without restrictions of realistic subject matter," he says. "With abstracts there is a great sense of freedom and adventure. I'm enjoying the journey."
At Village Galleries in Lahaina, come and enjoy "2 Artists - 2 Views" with the opening reception from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday.
The artists are Rich Kenny and Erin Williams, and their works will be on exhibit through June 13.
The Lahaina gallery is located at 120 Dickenson St. For more details, you may call 661-4402 or visit the website at www.villagegalleriesmaui.com.

June 23, 1913 – June 24, 2013
Fraser B. Drew, Ph.D., professor emeritus of English and Irish literature at Buffalo State College, where he taught for 38 years, died Monday in Hospice Buffalo, Cheektowaga, hours after his 100th birthday.
He was a professor who met and corresponded with several of the most prominent authors of the 20th century. They included novelist Ernest Hemingway, with whom he spent a day in Cuba, and poet Robert Frost, with whom he spent an afternoon.
Most recently of Williamsville, he was known as "Bob" to close friends and remained mentally astute to the end.
He earned a doctorate in English from the University of Buffalo.
He was one of the first educators in the state to be named a Distinguished Teaching Professor and was known for his unconventional teaching style. He remained in touch with many of his students long after they graduated.
Hank Nuwer, who studied under him in the 1960s, wrote a remembrance of his mentor in 1995, saying, "I never missed class because I never knew what treasure Dr. Drew might bring in next – a signed letter sent to him by (John) Masefield or Robinson (Jeffers), the rare books and magazines he collected, or a personal photograph taken of authors that they themselves had given him."
Nuwer described Dr. Drew as "trim, lithe and commanding in the classroom," and "half Irish, the English and Scot in him splitting the difference."
As an English professor, his fascination with literature didn't end with the printed page. He was as interested in the authors as he was in their work. In his 1953 meeting with Frost, Frost told him that when teaching college students, "don't teach them a lesson, show them a lesson."
During his 1955 visit with Hemingway, Hemingway said he hoped he didn't bore Dr. Drew, telling him, "Writers are always a disappointment when you meet them."
Dr. Drew shared those cherished meetings with countless Buffalo State students, rewarding the best of them with signed first editions by famous writers, among them playwright Thornton Wilder and poet Louise Townsend Nicholl, with whom Dr. Drew maintained a long letter-writing friendship.
Born and raised in Randolph, Vt., Fraser Bragg Drew was a magna cum laude graduate of the University of Vermont, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year. He earned a master's in Greek and Latin from Duke University, in addition to his doctorate from UB.
The title of his doctorate dissertation was "John Masefield: Interpreter of England and Englishman." Dr. Drew also corresponded with Masefield, did a bibliography of his work and had one of the most complete Masefield collections in the world. In 1973, his critical study, "John Masefield's England," was published by Associated University Presses.
Dr. Drew taught at Green Mountain College in Vermont and at Syracuse University before being coaxed by then-Buffalo State College President Harry Rockwell to join the faculty in 1945. He retired in 1983.
Dr. Drew was made an assistant professor in 1947 and full professor in 1952. From 1957 to 1963, he was head of the English department. He was a made a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in 1973 in recognition of his "consistent demonstration of the mastery of teaching."
In the 1960s, he took the first of many trips to Ireland, in time becoming chairman of the Buffalo-based St. Patrick Scholarship Fund, which sent Buffalo students to Eire to study starting in 1960. For a number of years, he corresponded with the late Irish president Eamon DeValera. He initiated independent study courses in Irish literature at Buffalo State and was elected Irishman of Year by the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick.
In 1968, he received the University of Vermont's Distinguished Alumnus Award. In 1974, he was named an Outstanding Educator of America.
Dr. Drew wrote more than 150 his articles and poems in British, Irish and North American publications. At age 70, the year he retired, he was asked to lecture by the Irish Federation at St. Brendan's College, an Irish American institution in Buenos Aires.
During retirement, he returned to Ireland several times, paddled a canoe on Lake Erie and continued to read, write and correspond with friends and former students.
He was active in the United Irish Societies of Buffalo and Erie County, which named him Irishman of the Year in 1970.
He is survived by his companion of 57 years, James Brophy.
Services will be private.

Sounds like blessed, but blexed is the short word for families who are both mixed (bi-racial) and blended (step).
That family is blended b/c they both had kids before they were married, they are also mixed b/c the kids are interracial... essentially they are blexed.

Back home, Corine is trying to rebuild her pawnshop and her life with her ex Chance, despite the target on her back. But when the demons she provoked kidnap her best friend in retaliation, Corine puts everything on hold to save her. It's undoubtedly a trap, but Corine would do anything to save those she loves, even if it means sacrificing herself…
"Urban Fantasy fans will want to get drunk on this series… [it] just keeps getting better."
"Aguirre has a gift for creating strong characters who keep her readers coming back for more."
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader,
So we're up to the fourth Corine Solomon book, and it's definitely the darkest. I admit, I have a propensity for torturing my characters. I dangle the potential for happiness and then wreck it, just to see how they stand the pain. Yes, in kindergarten, I knocked down block towers (and occasionally hit other kids in the head with sand pails). I grew out of the latter, but not the former, apparently, as I'm still obsessed with destroying what I create.
But for the first time in this series, I invented a world that runs parallel to our own, a whole dimension full of demons. It was a colossal undertaking that required a lot of preparatory work, copious amounts of note-taking and rummaging through obscure mythologies to cherry pick the bits that would make it into the final cut. The end result is, I hope, a robust society that feels complete while having lent various legends and lore to our own culture over the years.
Many books take the approach that demons are an unmitigated evil. I chose another path; over the course of Devil's Punch, Corine comes to the uncomfortable realization that demons are just folks, like humans. Some are wicked beyond imagining and do terrible things. Some collect knickknacks. Others are just trying to make it through the day. Their lives, like ours, are full of magic and destruction, miracles and confusion. There are no magic beans, even in Sheol. During her stay in Xibalba—the demon city—Corine is confronted with her worst nightmares and profound loss.
Yet there is an essential beauty in chaos—in seeing how people cope when their existences have been pared down to the bone. Therein lies the potential for tragedy… and for heroism. It's impossible to predict how a protagonist will react until you strip them down in just such a way. Will they break? Or will the fires of adversity temper them into a strength previously unimagined? For Corine Solomon, it is the latter.
I hope you enjoy the fourth installment, but if it's too grim and it makes you cry; take heart. There is one story yet to come, wherein to paraphrase a gentle Puck: if this author has offended, read the last book and all is mended.
Ann Aguirre

5 Famous Songs That Prove Musicians Don't Understand Science
Songwriters like to use metaphors in their lyrics, and the natural world lends itself easily to prose. It's so much more effective at tugging the heartstrings to compare your relationship to a volatile chemical or the listener to a colorful pyrotechnic display than to say what you mean straightforwardly. Of course, we don't expect our musicians to moonlight as physicists -- hell, we're lucky if they finish high school. So sometimes they get their science wrong.
Incredibly, laughably wrong.
#5. "Promise of a New Day" by Paula Abdul
The Stupid:
Eagle's calling and it's calling your name
Tides are turning, bringing winds of change
Paula sings of changing the world and loving one another, evoking progressive imagery such as the Earth moving under her feet, being singled out by the bird of freedom, the winds of change being churned out by the tides ...
The Science:
In fact, it's the wind that causes the waves when it blows upon the surface of the water, not the other way around.
Much like hot girls in swimsuits, wind is prevalent near large bodies of water. Unlike hot girls in swimsuits, this is because water absorbs heat, and the warmer air over the land rises above the cooler air over the water. (The girls are there to tan and stuff.)
#4. "Perfect" by Hedley
The Stupid:
Falling at 1,000 feet per second
You still take me by surprise
The Science:
Actually, an object falling through space will accelerate until it reaches a maximum speed, called terminal velocity, that will remain constant until the object is stopped. This maximum speed depends on a number of different factors, most prominently the surface area of the object, which causes drag and slows the object, and its weight. (Heavier objects fall faster.)
Let's apply this to an average-sized human: "A free-falling 120-pound woman would have a terminal velocity of about 38 meters per second," says Howie Weiss, a Penn State University math professor. For an object to reach a terminal velocity of 1,000 feet per second, it would need a mass of thousands of kilograms while keeping its surface area, among other factors, sufficiently low. Hedley must like their women like their black holes: incredibly dense.
#3. "This Kiss" by Faith Hill
The Stupid:
It's that pivotal moment, it's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion, it's perpetual bliss
The Science:
Did you ever ride the Gravitron when you went to the carnival? That was the ride where you stood against the walls of a circular room that spun around and around at a dizzying rate. Do you remember how your body held tight to the walls even as the room spun around you, pressed stronger and stronger as the room spun faster? Bam, centrifugal force.
What's hilarious about these lyrics is that they're not just wrong, but describing a force that is the opposite of what centrifugal force does: push an object outward from the center. Faith Hill is basically saying that she feels repelled from her lover.
Or, more likely, she actually means centripetal force, which is the "center-seeking" force required for an object to accelerate along a curved path. We're sorry to do this to you, Ms. Hill, but we're going to have to release the angry nerds.

Seniors Kai Eckenrode and Jonathan Mendoza assisted on each others' goals, leading the Stetson men's soccer team (2-4-0) to a 2-1 double overtime victory over Florida Atlantic (1-6-1) on Wednesday night.
The Hatters, who lost in a very similar fashion only four days earlier, were on the better end of the results this time around, scoring the golden goal just 28 second into the second overtime period to defeat the Owls before returning to Atlantic Sun Conference play on October 7.
Eckenrode started the winning play, passing the ball through to a streaking Mendoza down the right side of the box. The speedy midfielder then played a ball across the box to junior Evan Jimmo. Instead of making an attempt on goal, the tall forward flicked Mendoza's pass on to Eckenrode who one-touched it into the back of the net.
The early attempt at goal in the second session wasn't anything new for Wednesday's fans. Stetson had good opportunity after good opportunity throughout the contest. In fact, 11 of the Hatters' 17 total shots came on target, a mark well better than the team's season average.
Although the two teams totaled 14 shots in the first half, neither squad was able to put anything on the scoreboard until five minutes into the second period. Eckenrode laid a ball off to Mendoza around 30 yards out on the right side of the field. Playing the ball with the outside of his right foot, the senior midfielder curved his shot through a number of FAU defenders; bending it just enough to come back into the goal frame at the far post.
The 1-0 lead stood for the Hatters through almost the entirety of regulation. With nine more shot attempts in the half, Stetson seemed to be in control as the clock started to wind down. Fortunately for the Owls, a hiccup for the Hatter defense awarded FAU a free kick from just outside the box. That was when Vincent DiBullo's shot deflected off of a member of Stetson's wall, and found the back of the net to tie the game at 1-1 with just less than four minutes to play.
There was no quit in Stetson, as the team went on the offense from the first whistle of overtime. That didn't pay dividends until the start of the second 10 minutes, when Eckenrode, Jimmo, and Mendoza connected for the final score of the game.
The Hatters finished with 17 shots to Florida Atlantic's 16, while both teams totaled five corner kicks in the contest. Junior Andreas Schnabl made two saves in the victory, while Jeremy Crumpton and Scott Powers combined for nine saves in the loss.
Stetson will next return to A-Sun action, playing at Mercer on Sunday, October 7 at 1:00 p.m.

COLUMBUS Students in 11 programs from Sentinel Career and Technology Center collaborated on the chapter display at the 61st annual Skills-USA Ohio championships Tuesday.
The display, made from steel, plywood, sheet metal, and plastic, showed a motorized tulip flower bloom opening up to the Skills-USA emblem.
"The flower represents students prepared with skills and as it blooms, represents becoming prepared with all those skills," senior Eric Radford said. "As the flower is rooted to grow, so are students prepared to grow."

Junior Tyler Lewis competes in carpentry at the 61st annual Skills-USA Ohio championship Tuesday in Columbus.
Students Brett Cassidy (from left), Eric Radford and Alex Martinez prepare to present Sentinel's chapter display Tuesday at Skills-USA Ohio competition in Columbus.
The flower was above 11 pillars bracing a cut out of the state Ohio that rose to several levels that represented the eleven programs and the several local and national levels, Radford said.
Radford is from Upper Sandusky High School and is in the building trades program. He is one of three students on the presentation team. The others are juniors Alex Martinez, a precision machining student, and Brett Cassidy, an electrical trades student. Both are from Hopewell-Loudon High School.
Radford also had to memorize a five- to seven-minute speech to present to judges.
The display cost about $3,800 and was completed in 583 hours with the help of 83 students.
"This display is a good example of what a technical school is," Martinez said. "It has been (an) honor to do and a tribute to all the programs."
"There is a lot of symbolism in the display. It is not cut and dry," he said.
"It has been a trial-and-error project," Cassidy said. "Getting everything to work together was a struggle but in the end it came together very well."
Junior Tyler Lewis was one of 52 Sentinel students at the state competition. Competing in the carpentry contest, he was given blueprints of two walls with a floor attachment, something he had not practiced, Lewis said.
"The blueprints I was given were totally something different," Lewis said. "It went well, but overall I don't think I placed."
Even if Lewis doesn't place, he plans to come back next year.
"I will look over last year's blueprints and the year before so that I am ready for anything," Lewis said.
"Overall it was fun," he said.
Three seniors in public safety competed in the crime scene investigation competition. The team included Hollie Alexander from Seneca East High School, Micaela Barth from Upper Sandusky High School and Zach Riedel from Mohawk High School.
"(Today) went pretty good," Barth said. "The judges came and told us how well we did and said we were 'exceptional,' so we are hoping we did well."
For the competition, the team had to process a crime scene by correctly collecting the evidence and logging it in by drawing and photographing items.
Each team member had to take a written test and participate in writing the report, Barth said.
Alexander and Barth placed fourth last year at state.
"We are all nervous but excited. We learned a lot and the experience was good," she said.

When the Buffalo Board of Education announced plans Wednesday night to combine International Prep and Middle Early College, it wasn't the only merger on the table.
At its meeting, the board was also looking at a move to consolidate the district's eight football teams into four, for competitive, personnel and financial reasons. The realignment would be in place for the fall 2013 season.
In a 14-page proposal, district Athletic Director Aubrey Lloyd cited several difficulties that city schools have had since joining their public school counterparts in the Section VI Federation three years ago.
Lloyd said that there is a lack of school interest, that players aren't consistently coming to practice or games and that the number of participants is down. In August 2010, 535 athletes competed, while in 2012, the number dipped to 428.
Other issues that Lloyd cited were a lack of skilled players making the game dangerous for some, junior varsity programs on the edge of folding, a difficulty of finding enough quality coaches, and a lack of success in the federation.
James A. Williams to disband the league in favor of joining the federation.
"The Harvard Cup was one of the best, oldest traditions we had in Buffalo," Lloyd said when reached by phone Thursday night. "We love our old-timers, and I've learned to appreciate them. We value tradition, honor it, cherish it, and will never forget it, but we need to be responsive to what the needs of our students are today. We want a very healthy, competitive sports program."
Lloyd's plan would create four districtwide teams based on geography; each new team would be built of players from three or more city schools. Among the casualties of the merger would be each school's football identity, some going back 100 years. Instead of being called by a school name, the teams would be known as Buffalo North, Buffalo West, Buffalo East and Buffalo South.
Buffalo East would have the largest number of schools, combining players from six. Based on their new enrollment numbers, all the teams would play in the federation's Class AA classification.
The Harvard Cup was disbanded in part to give city kids a chance to compete for a sectional title at Ralph Wilson Stadium and ultimately play for a state title at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. Neither has happened.
In 2010, city schools were a combined 36-45. And 2011 was worse, with city schools going 21-60. Last fall, the record wasn't much better, 20-52. Among the eight teams in 2012, one went winless while three others won only one game.
"It was evident at the end of last season talking with the coaching staffs and players, you could see the frustration in their eyes on the sidelines, students playing both offense and defense, coaches having very little options [with substitutions,]" Lloyd said. "It's time to take a different approach. We don't want to stand there and say, 'Let's take our lumps every year,' we need to respond. The working models are out there – Syracuse, Rochester. We believe this is the best plan."
Cost savings would be seen in coaches salaries and football equipment, plus the number of games would decrease by 47 percent (120 games, compared with 64). But part of the money saved would go toward an increase in cost of transportation for practices. A shuttle bus would pick up students from their school and take them to practice. Students would continue their current practice of taking a Metro bus to get home.
Jason Kolb has coached Burgard High School for the last 11 seasons, making him the longest-tenured coach in the city. He said the proposed changes would have his full support if a multitude of intangibles were addressed.
In Kolb's view, city teams already field combined teams, and it hasn't translated into victories. What happens to the volunteers on his coaching staff when the paid guys come in from other schools?
"They bleed blue; they're Burgard people," Kolb said.
If he has players from four schools, how can he be at four schools at once? the coach added.
Burgard finished 6-3 last year and was one game removed from winning its division. His program is healthy.
"Things are just getting good for me; now I don't know what to expect," Kolb said. "There are unknown factors I'm worried about. We were only three years into this. I'm not against this, but the lines of communication have to be there."
Section VI Federation Co-Chairman Ken Stoldt of Akron said his committee doesn't have a vote on the city proposal. He added that the federation is interested in doing what's best for city football and that he would meet with Lloyd to discuss parameters. He said he's aware of the city's struggles with varsity numbers and forfeits on the JV level.
"For me to say I understand the inner workings of the city, and the problems they face, I couldn't even speculate," Stoldt said. "It's a lot different than what we deal with in the suburbs. We're going to do what we can to support them. It's never an easy decision; when they left the Harvard Cup, there's still a lot of people upset because of the strong tradition."
Lloyd contends that a merger would increase participation, grow JV programs, make teams more competitive, build relationships across the district and increase player accountability.
Following Lloyd's presentation, the School Board seemed ready to approve the proposal on the spot but, after some discussion, decided to wait until next Wednesday to vote.
Referring to the competitive strength of consolidated teams, at-large board member John B. Licata said, "Winning solves a lot of problems, folks."

i would suggest shopping around for another insurance company. they are being dumb if they are ignoring all of your positive health metrics in favor of a "high-normal" reading.
I am a male 54 years old in the process of trying to re apply for term life insurance. I currently have a term policy that I've had for just shy of ten years and I will need to get a new one by next March. In the process of applying I am typically given an at home testing consisting of EKG, blood pressure, pulse, urine, and drawn blood.
I am in pretty good shape and mostly have been my entire life as I enjoy physical activities.
I started Primal eating last August 2010.
In applying for insurance your score rating by the numbers from tests determines the amount of the premium. For example, I was told that I should be considered in great physical shape and the premium would be X. I got my test numbers back and all of my readings were great except cholesterol. The total was 341 with my good HDL reading of 105. The ratio number still was in the normal range. All my other vitals were what looked as really good, blood pressure 102/60, pulse 55 and I am usually very nervous for these things.
The insurance company came back and said that i am a higher risk because of my cholesterol reading despite the rest of the information and my premium rating more than doubled!!
I am curious if anybody else has had this problem and if there is anything you can do about it?
i would suggest shopping around for another insurance company. they are being dumb if they are ignoring all of your positive health metrics in favor of a "high-normal" reading.
Sounds like a combination of the company still using CW "normal" as the 'healthy" standard, and also trying to find a justification for a higher rate.
Yeah, you might want to shop around a bit.
1) Swipe some blood from a sickly vegan for the cholesterol test. The veg head need not survive.
2) Swap the samples.
3) Since "you" have no cholesterol, you will have the lowest premium possible.
And I'm feeling slightly aggessive right now, so I'd say you could deal with your insurance company by doing this.
In all of the universe there is only one person with your exact charateristics. Just like there is only one person with everybody else's characteristics. Effectively, your uniqueness makes you pretty average.
No insurance company will ignore your cholesterol, no matter how mistaken they may be. It is a cost of being healthy in a screwed up world
Four years Primal with influences from Jaminet & Shanahan and a focus on being anti-inflammatory. Using Primal to treat CVD and prevent stents from blocking free of drugs.
Eat creatures nose-to-tail (animal, fowl, fish, crustacea, molluscs), a large variety of vegetables (raw, cooked and fermented, including safe starches), dairy (cheese & yoghurt), occasional fruit, cocoa, turmeric & red wine
I'll be honest, I really don't understand the diet/cholesterol relationship. Some people eat paleo/primal and their totals come down, others it goes up.
In trying to clarify your situation, did your totals go up when you began eating primally? If so, what was it before? How strict are you with your eating?
I recently had the same type of exam for my insurance carrier (I'm 40). I'd eaten 100% primaly clean for about 45 days before the test and they said that my results were in the top 1% for 40 year olds.
Didn't they weigh you too?
In God we trust; all others must bring data. W. Edwards Deming
Blogging at http://loafingcactus.com
Inform them about the difference between type A and type B LDL and make them run a VAP test to find out. If they refuse, shop around.
I'm about to have this problem too. I got 315 total cholesterol on the company health check, but I'm thinking there might be a way to temporarily reduce it by, say, eating mainly vegetables and some lean cuts of meat in the two weeks prior to the test. Any thoughts/experience? As much as it pains me I'd probably even consider eating grains for a few weeks if it could save me ~$200 a month off my premiums.
I am limited in my options for insurance as I am working overseas and looking to join a global insurance company. From what I have seen so far they all consider "cholesterol" as a factor.

Russ Brandon showed up Tuesday morning with a strong message and sounding like a bundle of energy, but actually he was exhausted. He had the tired eyes of a man who had tossed and turned all night or spent the morning crying before arriving at One Bills Drive having reached the height of his career.
As it turned out, it was both and more, an extended ride on life's emotional roller coaster that led to him taking full control over the Bills. Owner Ralph Wilson had never given absolute power over his team to anyone before he summoned Brandon to his home in Grosse Pointe, Mich., on New Year's Eve and handed over the proverbial keys.
Frankly, it was about time for Wilson to get out of the way. He no longer was capable of steering the Bills in the right direction. It had been 13 straight seasons of him getting towed out of ditches and driving the Bills into another one.
In a sad way, the Bills dictate so much of our communal psyche even though they're largely irrelevant in the NFL. How much more could anyone take?
The change was needed whether the role was filled by Brandon or anybody else who had two eyes and a shred of common sense. He will remain chief executive officer. The important shift was replacing Wilson as president. Brandon has total control over the franchise with no restrictions.
It begins and ends with him the way it did with Ralph.
For numerous reasons, Brandon cried while meeting with Wilson. It's understandable if you know Brandon, even more if you believe in him. He has spent his career striving to climb the sports ladder while desperately wishing to be perceived as one of you, an honest and humble person who wants nothing more than a Super Bowl.
It must have been emotional for him to hear Wilson had entrusted him with his baby, an organization for which he paid $25,000 and turned into an $800 million empire in the most powerful league in sports. Brandon has always viewed himself as a sports-loving kid from middle-class East Syracuse who wanted the most out of life.
And now ... this.
"To have the mantle of running his franchise, in totality, is almost hard to fathom right now,'' Brandon said moments after his news conference. "There are so many elements to what we're trying to do that it's also overwhelming ... the fact that it all rests on my shoulders to get this franchise working."
Brandon deserves a few moments to collect himself, but the best way to get the Bills turned around would be to remove sentiment from the equation. The Bills need a cold, harsh evaluation that starts at the top. Wilson's failure to properly assess personnel has been a problem for years and is the biggest reason they ran amuck.
Now, the 94-year-old owner is out of the way.
Brandon had an inauspicious start to his presidency Tuesday. His message sounded much like the usual sales pitch, customary for an organization that often missed the point. At a time fans begged for heads to roll down Abbott Road, he announced Buddy Nix would be retained and Ryan Fitzpatrick's future would be determined by the next head coach.
Finally, after 25 mostly uninspiring minutes of his news conference, he arrived at his moment of greatest significance. He didn't sell hope, for a change. He took responsibility for failure and practically pleaded for people to stop listening to what he said and start watching what he did.
Again, it's about time.
"I can sit up here and talk all day, you know that, but we've got to prove it,'' he said. "That's the bottom line. I remember sitting in training camp and everyone talking about a culture change. We talked about it then. We had high expectations for the year and we didn't meet those expectations. We will do a full evaluation of why.
"There's been too many unfulfilled promises. Where we've been for the last decade is completely unacceptable to everyone in this room associated with the Buffalo Bills."
For now, all you can do is enjoy the show. Brandon planned to implement an analytic (see: Moneyball) approach in an effort to sign contracts commensurate with player production. The Bills continue to have a recruiting problem that will force them to overpay for personnel, but it sounded like a 21st century way of thinking.
It beats the archaic mind-set along One Bills Drive, with Wilson dipping into his shrinking network of football men and coming away with failure. The plan calls for Brandon to eventually replace Nix with assistant GM Doug Whaley, considered by many as a bright up-and-coming football evaluator.
Brandon's and Whaley's combined ages are nearly a decade shy of Wilson's, for heaven's sake. Brandon is 45. Whaley is 40. Nix is 73. Changes are coming – the sooner, the better.
The first will be hiring a coach to replace Chan Gailey, counted as one of several mistakes Nix made in three years. Brandon was anxious to address a short list believed to include, among others, Lovie Smith, Ken Whisenhunt, Ray Horton, Doug Marrone, Russ Grimm, Hue Jackson and Chip Kelly.
Getting smarter and younger helps, but the biggest upgrade is having someone involved in daily operations who can evaluate daily operations. It's a terrific concept, wouldn't you say? Whether it was geographical distance or an obvious generation gap, Wilson had been mostly out of touch while some wondered if he was out of his mind.
"Now, I'm in a position where I get to evaluate the evaluators,'' Brandon said. "I'm in a position where I get to evaluate every single thing that we do in this organization. And if I don't like it, we're going to change it."
You're not going to find my name on the list of Wilson admirers, but give him credit for finally stepping away. He should have relinquished control 15 years ago, if not more, before souring an entire generation of fans. The Bills have lost more credibility in the past decade than any team in the league over the same span.
I'm suspicious of every Wilson decision, and his choice to hand full control to Brandon was met with a certain amount of skepticism. However, almost anybody but Wilson and top aide Jeffrey Littman would be deemed an improvement, a sign of progress for a franchise that has gone in the wrong direction for far too long. The Bills' money-first reputation for years drove away good candidates who wouldn't consider coming here so long as Wilson and Littman were involved. It led to inferior coaches and general managers. It led to losing. Investing in good people would have led to more winning and more revenue.
Bills fans don't want to read this, but they enabled years of mediocrity under threats of relocation. The Bills played before packed stadiums while revenue from merchandise poured into their coffers. State and local governments provided assistance to a team that needed little given its minimal, if any, debt load.
The Bills turned annual profits that ranged from $30 million to $40 million while fans dipped into their Christmas money and retirement plans. In return, the fans longed for a competitive product on the field, a trip back to the playoffs if not the Promised Land.
Overall, the business plan worked.
The football plan failed.
Brandon was part of a hierarchy that lowered the standards of success. There's no getting around that fact. He's a marketing genius and business whiz who could sell sunlamps in South Beach. For years, he was assigned to sell false hope. At a time in which players failed in their jobs, he performed at an All-Pro level.
Now, he has an opportunity to get everything right with innovative thinkers who can pull the Bills from the dark ages. If he's successful, he would go a long way in repairing Wilson's reputation as a miser who cared little about winning.
As the cliche goes, with opportunity comes responsibility, but let's flip things around when it comes to Brandon. With this responsibility comes a great opportunity. Brandon has the job of every frustrated fan who ever sat in a recliner, yelled and screamed at the television, and insisted he could do better.
In his quietest moments, such as Monday evening when he was trying to sleep, and Tuesday morning when he was driving toward the stadium, Brandon tried to comprehend that reality. The Bills are his team. Now, he has a chance to take them for a ride and let his mind wander.
"I spend a lot of time daydreaming what it would be like going down Delaware Avenue with that [Lombardi] Trophy,'' Brandon said. "I've grown up in this region. I've been in the Brick Bar. I'm a man of these people. I want, more than anything in my life, other than the health of my kids, to bring a championship to this town."
Russ, don't say it.
Do it.

GA/AL District: Safety & Security
School security is a national concern. Throughout the United States, youth crime and violence threaten to undermine the safety of our students' learning environment. Since the Department of Defense Education Activity Americas (DoDEA Americas) represents a cross-section of Americana, all partners in our community education process must understand and support the principles underlying a safe and secure learning environment as applied to creating a safe school. The underlying principles all relate to student rights to a safe and secure learning environment:
- free from the threat or fear of physical violence.
- free from drugs, alcohol, weapons and other prohibited items.
- free from hazing, bullying or intimidation.
- free from gang or criminal activity.
See the GA/AL District Campus Security Policy for more information.
DoDEA schools do not tolerate bullying in any form. Students who engage in willful acts that cause physical or emotional harm to other students, or vandalize personal property to intimidate will face suspension.
Harassment of all types is a form of bullying and will be subject to immediate school level consequences. Sexual harassment includes verbal, non-verbal, and physical contact – all will receive equal disciplinary consequences.
- First Offense: Conference/Detention
- Second Offense: Detention/Suspension
- Third Offense: Suspension

Racial Injustice and Abortion
By: Anne Hendershott
While support for President Obama remains strong among African Americans, it is difficult to understand why so many seem to overlook the fact that the expansion of abortion rights under this President and the current Democrat Congress continues to contribute to a daily death toll of nearly 1,500 black children lost to abortion.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, more than one-third of all African American women end their pregnancy with abortion. Since 1973, the number of abortions by African American women has totaled more than thirteen million. Although African Americans represent only 12 percent of the American population they account for more than 35 percent of all abortions. As a result, the abortion rate (number of abortions per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44 per year) for African American women is nearly 3 times that of white women.
In some localities, including Mississippi, Louisiana, Maryland, and Georgia, more than half of all abortions are performed on black women. Black women in New York City receive nearly half of all abortions performed there. This national disparity in death toll for African Americans is likely to increase as President Obama recently signed legislation which will provide public funding for abortion for those living in Washington, DC—a city with a majority population of African Americans. Legislation is pending that will provide federally funded abortion on military bases—and soon we will be confronted with the new legislation on health care reform–replete with funding for abortion.
Still, Catholics must be encouraged that their bishops are not silent on what Bishop Joseph N. Perry, Chicago's Auxilary Bishop recently called "the decimation of the black community." Bishop Perry has taken the lead in addressing what many in the pro-life community believe is the targeting of the black community for abortion.
Bishop Perry, an African American, published a statement on his home archdiocesan website entitled "Abortion and Its Impact on the Black Community." In the statement he encouraged parish pro-life activities to "raise awareness about alternatives to abortion, particularly, to let women in trouble be aware that they have other options."
Unfortunately, some of Bishop Perry's own co-workers in the Archdiocesan Office of Racial Justice have been working against his pro-life goals. Last Spring, the Archdiocese honored Fr. Michael Pfleger, one of President Obama's strongest supporters, with the Racial Justice Lifetime Achievement Award. Fr. Pfleger, a member of the "Catholics for Obama" advisory board, has a long history of using his parish to host various pro-abortion figures including the Rev. Al Sharpton. In 2003 Lifesite News reported that Pfleger violated archdiocesan rules forbidding pro-abortion individuals to speak at the pulpit by inviting the singer and political activist, Harry Belafonte to speak at Sunday Mass at St. Sabina. At the Mass—from the pulpit—Belafonte criticized President Bush for "threatening a woman's right to choose."
Sr. Anita Baird, who is African American and the founding director of the Office for Racial Justice in the Chicago Archdiocese, denies that President Obama is "pro-abortion" and told a Lifesite News reporter that "to be pro-abortion is that you believe in abortion and you support it. I don't think you will find that the president has ever said that…the president is not pro-abortion, he is pro-choice. I think they are two very different things."
Until Bishop Perry begins to address the pro-abortion politicians promoted by those within his own Archdiocesan staff , it will be difficult for him to make a difference in addressing the real racial injustice—the racial disparities in abortion rates.
Anne Hendershott is head of the Politics, Philosophy, and Economics Program at The King's College in Manhattan.

Abortion is ugly; and, it is also lethal for the innocent baby.
Most people don't want to think about, much less see what an abortion really looks like. The Truth Tour, as explained in a previous article, displays the ugliness and horror of abortion up front and personal.
My husband and I joined the Core Team of young folks, mostly college age, in what is called The Truth Tour this past July. The group has gone out for the 13th year to show the true picture of an abortion, by displaying images of aborted babies on busy highways at 15 different stops. This event is always scheduled for the last week in July.
You may wonder what exactly occurs on these Truth Tours and how people respond. There is no script; but, we can always count on anger, and/or encouragement, and, in some cases the very unexpected. Here are some samples:
At most stops, the police come out to verify the legality of our doings. One policeman said: "All my reports will say there are no violations. You have a good message. It's a shame you have to show the signs."
Another motorist yelled out: "You'll have an abortion someday, honey, don't worry!" Usually, the opposing viewpoint follows suit! "That's a baby! That's a whole baby. They do this to them and tell me the babies can't feel pain? Bull s-t."
One man stopped and pointed to the aborted baby and said: "That could have been my son. But it wasn't. He's 37 years old now." He drove off with a smile.
One truther (what the young demonstrators call themselves) said: "It helped me learn what loving people who don't love you back really means and what self-sacrifice looks like."
Another said: "People were waving and giving me thumbs up. I felt proud to be part of the Truth Tour. It was amazing to see so many people involved in the pro-life movement and witness their courage."
In Reistertown, a woman stopped to tell her story to the truthers. She had worked as an exotic dancer, used drugs, engaged in promiscuous sex, and had three abortions. She is now a Christian mother of three and is writing a book on her life story, including how abortion hurt her life.
One truther, who has taken part in all 13 Truth Tours related: "Some guy yelled at me, 'Are you from the Westboro Baptist Church?' I said, 'No, I'm Catholic.' 'Well, that's worse.' he yelled back." Happy to be in the same pro-life pack!
Another truther said: "I don't think people are concerned with the children seeing the signs, but with how they can explain the pictures if they're pro-choice. They're afraid the kids would say, 'And you're okay with that?'"
Mark the last week in July on your calendar for 2014 if you have the wherewithal to join these courageous, committed Christian youth, and those of us who are "not so young" in doing the Lord's work for His babies.

Alabama prep lineman Parker Cothren will be playing his college football in the Big Ten, but it won't be at Purdue, as originally planned.
Cothren, the 6-foot-5, 255-pound defensive tackle/defensive end from Hazel Green High School, switched his verbal commitment from the Boilermakers to Penn State following a visit to University Park for the Nittany Lions' game against Indiana last Saturday, ESPN reported late Tuesday.
Cothren's decision was speculated after he had a good visit, then word broke via social media that Oklahoma defensive tackle Zach Webb was cancelling his trip to this week's Penn State home game against Wisconsin because he had been told the Nittany Lions had gotten a commitment from another defensive tackle. Cothren is the 13th recruit for Penn State in the 2013 recruiting class and the third defensive lineman, joining New Jersey prep All-American Garrett Sickels and Philadelphia suburban star Curtis Cothran.
The Lions also were recruiting Alabama defensive tackle Rod Crayton; there was no immediate word whether or not Crayton was still on their radar, because NCAA sanctions have limited Penn State to 15 scholarships in 2013. However, it appears Penn State could bring in close to 20 recruits if they can get enough of them to enroll in January to count against the 2012's class numbers - so far, three of the Lions' current recruits are planning to enroll early.
Purdue and Penn State were Cothren's biggest offers at the time he committed to Penn State. A person identifying himself as a relative of Cothren's wrote on an Internet message board that North Carolina has since offered, as well.
Cothren has helped his high school, a 6A program which hadn't had a winning record since 2004, to back-to-back seven-win campaigns, making 70 tackles as a junior. He was named to the Huntsville Times Elite Team as a junior, has been named all-region as a junior and a sophomore and also started for the Trojans state runner-up basketball team.

Clues Hint at School Shooter's State of Mind
SANDY HOOK, Conn.—The 20-year-old man who burst into an elementary school here and fatally shot 20 children and six adults destroyed a computer in his home, which could thwart the investigation into his motive, a law-enforcement official said on Monday.
Investigators consider the computer a telling clue into the state of mind of Adam Lanza when he embarked on a massacre Friday that included shooting his mother to death inside their home in Newtown, which includes the village of Sandy Hook.
As detectives continued to probe the past of the reclusive man, parents of the young victims slain at Sandy Hook Elementary School began burying their dead from one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.

According to an official who was briefed on the investigation, detectives recovered a "smashed" computer from Mr. Lanza's home. "He was eliminating [investigators'] ability to figure out what websites he had gone to or who he might have been communicating with," the official said.
The destruction of Mr. Lanza's computer could significantly thwart investigators in their search for a motive for his rampage, a law-enforcement official said. The computer was completely destroyed, and investigators were resigned to the fact that they would be able to glean from the machine no information about Mr. Lanza's communications, his inspiration or his plans, the official said.
Police instead will try to locate others who corresponded with Mr. Lanza, as well as any other digital footprints he may have left online, the official said.
Police are limiting the amount of information about the killings that appears in the media, in advance of meetings they plan to have in coming days for survivors of the massacre, the official said.
Lt. J. Paul Vance, a spokesman for the Connecticut State Police, said Mr. Lanza's medical or mental-health history is also being probed, but he wouldn't comment on whether investigators have been in contact with professionals who had contact with him in years past. "Suffice it to say, I want to make sure you understand, we will cover every single facet," he said.
Lt. Vance said Mr. Lanza, a quiet presence in the New England town who had no known employment, had no criminal history.
He said the school, along with the home where Mr. Lanza fatally shot his mother, would remain crime scenes indefinitely and that state officials were determining where the surviving students would continue their studies.
The official with knowledge of the investigation said parents of the slain children have been pressuring police to let them into the school in order to see the scene. State police are reluctant to allow that and have been working to gather enough information to compose a digital rendering that would show the parents how the crime unfolded.
Law-enforcement officials also are facing the delicate task of interviewing the young survivors of the violence. "It's a very, very tender, tender issue," Lt. Vance said, adding that any interviews with children would be done with their parents present.
Robert Hettleman, chief of the child-abuse unit of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, said while many of the same rules apply no matter the age of the witness being interviewed, some special steps have to be taken when dealing with children.
The task should be left to those specially trained to deal with kids. Then it is important to choose an interview location that is comfortable but not too distracting. For that reason, their homes—which contain all their toys, television and abundant other distractions—may not be ideal.
"One of the pitfalls people can fall into is wanting too hard to entertain the child, and that's not the goal," Mr. Hettleman said.
The interviewer has to clearly explain who they are and what the purpose of the questioning is. Investigators then usually speak to a child for a time about things other than what they are interested in questioning them about to try to establish a base line of their vocabulary and intelligence level.
Even more so than when interviewing adults, questions to children, who can be more impressionable, shouldn't be leading. "You never want to have the answer in your question, if that makes sense," he said.
Meanwhile, mourners gathered at a funeral home in Newtown to remember Jack Pinto, 6 years old, who idolized New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz. The football player was so moved by the boy's demise that he reached out and spoke with the Pinto family over the weekend.
In nearby Fairfield, a funeral was held for Noah Samuel Pozner, also 6, who was described as a "sweet kid" by David Wiener, a past president of Congregation Adath Israel, the synagogue where Noah's older brother celebrated his bar mitzvah.
More funerals were planned for this week. A spokeswoman for the chief medical examiner of Connecticut said the bodies of Mr. Lanza and his mother had yet to be claimed by relatives.

Here I am, enjoying the silence. Still feeling a whole lot of feelings but not really moved to write them down. I'd rather just let them be.
Or it could be because my ears are so stuffed up. I'm sick. Noah was sick last week (and he hasn't been sick in years) (he had a fever, I was on edge) (and one after the other we all got sick.) I am still miserable so I'm finally giving in and am off to urgent care as soon as hubs gets home.
I feel relieved. For the longest time I think I confused that with defeat.

Preston Watkins ('12) | Ad/PR
From Manassas, Va.
After graduating from ACU's Journalism and Mass Communication program in May, Preston Watkins ('12) was looking for an exciting post-graduate internship. He ended up at "The Most Magical Place on Earth."
Watkins found a position working with the College Program at Walt Disney World in Orlando. He hopes to eventually work as an account manager at an advertising/public relations firm. Working for Disney afforded him the opportunity to experience a large company's corporate environment. Aside from furthering corporate ambitions, his job at Disney also fulfills a childhood dream.
Honing his marketing skills
"I've been going to Disney Parks ever since I was a little kid. It started at Disneyland when I lived in California. When I was 5, my family moved to Japan so we spent three years going to Tokyo Disney. My parents brought me to Disney World for the first time when I was 10 and we've come back five times since then," he says. "On every trip, I've asked some employee how they've gotten the job here, and they all said the College Program, so I applied. I figured that it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity, and jobs will still be available after I finish, so why not?"
Watkin's role with the College Program has him working as a vacation planner. With more than 100 types of ticket packages, he is getting a first-hand opportunity to demonstrate his skills as a marketer.
"It's unbelievable how helping someone with their tickets, taking genuine interest in their vacation, and supplying them with a birthday button or a first-time visitor badge can really make their day," he says. "The job is so fulfilling because people are rarely upset here. It's the happiest place on earth."
Ready for the next step
Watkins knows his time at the Magic Kingdom isn't permanent, but he believes he is well-equipped for the next step in his life, thanks to work experiences and his time in the Journalism and Mass Communication program at ACU.
"JMC at ACU was beyond positive. The relationships that I've built with the faculty are certainly the most unique experience. I feel like I can call anytime to share any sort of news or ask for advice or anything. Also, I feel like I've built such an awesome network of peers. I know that the people in my class are going to do great things; everyone is so talented. It's cool to know that I'll be in touch with a lot of them for the rest of my life," Watkins says.

Caliper Life Sciences is reporting the sale of its Sciclone® NGS Workstation to the Center for Genome Analysis at Yale University and the Genetic Laboratory of the department of internal medicine at Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The platform can prep 480 libraries per week and carry out 192 exome captures per week, with flexibility to run between eight and 96 samples per run, according to Caliper.
The Center for Genome Analysis at Yale will use the technology combined with the LabChip® GXI to automate protocols for its exome-capture and library-preparation workflows. The purchase was intended "to improve key bottlenecks in the Illumina HiSeq2000® NGS sample preparation process," says Shrikant Mane, Ph.D., director of Yale's genome analysis center.
Dr. Mane also notes that the systems are flexible enough to enable future automation of protocols for the Pacific Biosciences sequencing workflow. Built on the Sciclone G3 platform, the NGS Workstation is positioned as a complete benchtop solution for library prep, sequence capture, and normalization.
The Genetic Laboratory of the department of internal medicine at Erasmus will utilize the Sciclone NGS Workstation along with Roche's NimbleGen SeqCap EZ Exome Library to automate the capture of more than 3,000 samples for next-generation sequencing.
The sequencing is being conducted as part of the Rotterdam Study, a prospective, single-center, population-based cohort study in a suburb of Rotterdam designed to characterize and analyze age-related disorders and their risk factors. The study includes 15,000 participants aged 45 years or more who have been followed since 1990.
A key focus of the study is identifying genetic risk factors for age-related disorders such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer disease, and type 2 diabetes. To that end, the genetic laboratory established a Genome Wide Association Study database in 2007.
By using an automated exome sequencing sample preparation solution, the Erasmus MC team says that it anticipates completing the processing and sequencing of 3,000 samples in the next 3–4 months. The first data is expected to be available for analysis this fall.
Yale and Erasmus are among a range of sequencing companies and institutions that have purchased NGS products from Caliper in recent months. Caliper listed numerous other customers including Children's Mercy Hospital of Kansas City, Complete Genomics, Edge BioSystems, ELIM Biopharm, The Genome Analysis Centre, HudsonAlpha Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sequenom, University of Connecticut Health Center, the University of Maryland, University of Queensland, UMC Groningen, and Vanderbilt University.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Of the six losses Penn State has endured since Bill O'Brien inherited the carnage of the Nittany Lions' program, clearly, this one was the most unexpected.
The 0-2 start (Ohio University-Virginia) in 2012 and subsequent regrouping that produced eight wins in the last 10 games with competitive losses to Ohio State and at Nebraska could be rationalized and were when O'Brien was voted the national coach of the year.
Even some of the sting of this season's upset at the hands of Central Florida, at Beaver Stadium, was tempered by UCF's solid showing against South Carolina.
Almost no one, though, saw Saturday's 44-24 shellacking by Indiana coming, but with it comes the sobering reality of just where the Nittany Lions are right now.
And that's a mediocre team, at best, facing an uphill climb just to avoid a losing season.
At 3-2 after being at times dominated by an Indiana team that had never beaten Penn State and spent most of the last two decades being virtually defenseless, the Nittany Lions' confidence is shaken.
"We have about a 12-to-16 hour mourning period," O'Brien said. "We'll have to get over it and move on."
To his credit, O'Brien shouldered all of the blame - several times as he patiently answered every question of the 13-minute session, easily the longest post-game press conference in memory.
"It starts with me - and I know I can do a better job," he said. "We've got to get guys in better position to make plays on both sides of the ball. We didn't play well. Didn't coach well."
That can't be argued as the Lions didn't commit to the run long enough and summoned Christian Hackenberg to attempt 55 passes.
O'Brien admitted, "We have to be more diverse in our running game."
Then again, the offensive line was jittery with false starts and unable to mush Indiana.
Veteran guard John Urschel chose his words carefully and elected to credit the Hoosiers.
"We were ready," he said. "They outperformed us."
It would be unfair, however, to hang the entire loss on the offense. Though it kept the ball and actually converted 11-of-22 third-downs, previously a weakness, Saturday's result can be attributed to breakdowns in every aspect.
The special teams botched a field-goal attempt and a potential 3-0 lead with a bad snap, later suffered a blocked field goal and fumbled away a last gasp, if Penn State really had one, in the fourth quarter.
The defense, while hanging tough early in forcing field-goal attempts, could not deliver the complementary football O'Brien often outlines. When the Lions tied the game in the second quarter and then took the lead in the third, each time the defense immediately surrendered a length-of-the-field drive.
"We need to get stops to change the momentum after we scored," linebacker Mike Hull said. "We didn't do that today."
Though disappointed, the Penn State camp said it will lean on its resiliency, an intangible that carried it through the early darkness of last season - and last summer.
"It's a long season," O'Brien said. "We have seven games left. These kids have been through a lot. They'll come back ready to go Monday."
They want to think their past experience will serve them now - and it will need to with Michigan coming in Saturday followed by a trip to Ohio State.
November has five games, including trips to Minnesota and Wisconsin.
"We'll bounce back and take on the rest of the Big Ten season," Hull said.
Most figured the Lions for an 8-4 or 7-5 type of year, but most didn't see UCF and Indiana combining for 78 points and going 2-0 against them.
"It hurts big," linebacker Glenn Carson said. "But when you look at last year, we started the season off 0-2, and we came back and had a pretty successful year. The type of guys we have, I'm sure we're going to bounce back."
While wanting to set an optimistic tone, O'Brien is also trying to spread some realism. He mentioned a couple of times this week that the current squad is made up of just 61 scholarship players and "can't go to a bowl game."
"By no one's stretch is this a normal Penn State team," he said. "But we show up every day and work hard. There are a lot of fantastic, resilient kids here, and there's still a hard-working attitude.The [emotional] reserve is still there."
It will need to be as there's no escaping that the Lions are functioning with a depleted roster.
In Hackenberg, they have a quarterback who will be a great one someday, but is still "seeing everything for the first time," O'Brien said.
They've played parts or all of games without veteran leaders Hull (knee), Ryan Keiser (wrist), Matt Lehman (knee), Allen Robinson, who tweaked his back Saturday, and Brandon Felder, who suffered an ankle injury last week.
It's why O'Brien's margin for error is slim.
"We coached average today," he said, "and in this situation, we can't coach average."
During his extended post-game confab, O'Brien also admitted that the team's plight, "is what it is."
And on this Saturday, that included a 20-point loss, once unthinkable, to an Indiana team cheered on by a half-full stadium.

A hearing has been set for Friday to determine whether Casey Anthony's civil trial will be postponed until after her criminal appeal.
Lawyers for Zenaida Gonzalez filed the motion asking for the delay because they want to make sure Anthony can't rely on the Fifth Amendment to avoid their questions.
Gonzalez is suing Anthony for defamation. She said Anthony's claim that a nanny by the same name kidnapped her daughter, Caylee, ruined her life.
Anthony was acquitted last year of all major charges in her daughter's 2008 death but was convicted on four lesser counts of lying to law enforcement.
She is appealing those convictions.
The civil trial is due to start in early January.

A Lockport woman was charged Monday with stealing prescription drugs from a pharmacy where she worked.
Lydia M. Klein, 43, will face a charge in U.S. District Court of possession with intent to distribute prescription drugs. Prosecutors said Klein is accused of stealing the drugs while employed at the Rite Aid Pharmacy on South Transit Street in Lockport.
Video surveillance footage from the Rite Aid showed Klein stealing 14 bottles of hydrocodone on Jan. 19, Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank T. Pimentel said.
Klein admitted to federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents that she stole at least 1,100 hydrocodone – sold as Lortab and Xanax – from her job and sold them in the Lockport area, Pimentel said.
Klein was arraigned Monday afternoon by U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder, Jr. and released on bond. The charge against her carries upon conviction a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
Lockport city police helped with the investigation.

(And I did not realize that if I waited long enough, a bigger version would show up in the rotation of photos on the home page.)
I just attended the Stars on Ice 2014 show in Orlando, FL yesterday, and it was all shades of awesome!
Jason Brown and Polina Edmunds were the guest performers. Of course we got to see Riverdance and Can't Touch This from Jason. Polina Edmunds did a very nice routine to Billy Joel's Uptown Girl. She really showed a lot of showmanship and pizzazz. I hope for good things for her skating in the future.
There was a group routine with the ladies and with the men. The guy's routine was more fun with lots of dancing and hamming for the crowd. The two ladies behind us could not say enough times "How cute is Charlie White!"
The ladies did a very interesting contemporary routine with a barre. It was quite enchanting which I think was the desired effect. The only part that made me nervous was when the other ladies lifted Meryl overhead. All I could think was, "Don't drop Meryl. She's got Dancing with the Stars tomorrow, and she still has to skate Scheherazade tonight!" Nevertheless, the trick went off flawlessly. Meryl was safe and all is well.
The other skaters performed the routines as listed on the SOI program (listed under music on the website). Suffice to say that everyone performed really well. Sure there were some saved landings here and some two-footed landings there, but nobody hit the ice and the performances were not "watered down." No need to go into detail because this show happened to be the one that was filmed for television broadcast! I did not know that until the show began and Scott Hamilton came out and made the announcement. I think the show will air April 13th on NBC.
Of course, they allowed the skaters to repeat some of the elements with shaky landings, so with the magic of television editing, the performances should be flawless.
I am certainly glad that we made the trip to see the show live. I doubt they will air all of the performances on television, so I certainly feel that it is worth it to see the show if you are anywhere near the tour stops.
Thank you, CrystalClear for the lovely review! I hope SOI really sells lots of tickets this year!
I second Doris' thanks, CrystalClear! I'm looking forward to going myself in May!
And welcome to Golden Skate, post often and post long!

Thanks, R.D.!
