The Silver Rule is so-named because it is similar to the well-known Golden Rule. However, it is a bit easier to do. The Silver Rule is simply, "Don't be a douche bag." Instead of having to do something like the Golden Rule, all you have to do is not be a douche bag.

Wagner ranked among the top 15 colleges in the country for 'Programs to Look For' -- and #26 overall among northern regional universities. We've been among the Top 30 in our region since 2000.
For the third year in a row, Wagner College appeared on the Forbes 2015 Top Colleges list, produced in partnership with the Center for College Affordability and Productivity. The Forbes list emphasizes "output over input," looking at things like graduation rates and alumni salaries rather than incoming freshmen SAT scores.
Wagner College was featured in the Princeton Review's "Best 380 Colleges" guide. The College's theater program was ranked #2 in the nation.
The New York Times ranked Wagner College #6 on a list of the highest "value added" colleges in the nation.

Now available as a double-album, John McCusker's two brilliant solo albums, Yella Hoose and Goodnight Ginger, are newly remastered with extended sleeve notes by Phil Cunningham and expanded deluxe packaging including a 16 page booklet. The tunes, mainly self-written, vary between reels and airs on both albums; many of them written for friends and family, but also a biscuit factory, a deli, even an orangutan. What matters to McCusker translates directly into his music—Even though the majority of the tunes are new on both CDs, McCusker has managed to give them a traditional feel. With both albums, McCusker surrounds himself with some of the most talented musicians around, including: Phil Cunningham, Michael McGoldrick, Tim O'Brien, Kate Rusby, Darrell Scott and more.

10 iPhone Apps for Shopping and SavingHeather Sokol
Here's a little something you should know about me: I love my iPhone. Love! I use it for email, social networking, blogging, games, reading, shopping, and more. I can go days without turning on my computer, but my iPhone is with me all day, every day.
I'm completely convinced this amazing tool has paid for itself several times over. I have 3 separate folders for personal finance, shopping, and money saving apps. I use my iPhone to create grocery lists, use coupons, check bank accounts, find stores, and make informed purchasing decisions.
Here are my favorite money saving iPhone apps:
PayPal (And Other Bank Apps) 1 of 10It's always good to keep an eye on your finances. You can't properly budget if you don't know how much money you have. With the PayPal app, you can view balances, split bills, send & receive money, and transfer money to your bank account. I also use the Serve app and mobile apps for my bank accounts.
Errands: To-Do List 2 of 10I keep my shopping list in the Errands To-Do List app. It allows me to create a checklist of items, a recurring to-do list, and even sort by home, errands, and work to-dos. It's the perfect way to stay on top of my shopping list, wherever I am.
Simon Malls 3 of 10With the Simon Mall app, I can check the map before I even leave the house to know where I should park for the day's errands. The app also includes store deals, special event details, and a parking reminder where you can take a picture of your car's location. I've also found mobile apps for some of my favorite grocery stores, with weekly sales, digital coupons, and store maps.
Amazon Mobile 4 of 10The Amazon mobile app allows you do almost everything you could do online. Plus, you can scan barcodes for search to get reviews, check prices or add an item to your wishlist. I use the Amazon wishlist for budgeting — keeping things I'd like to eventually purchase so I can save up or use gift cards as I earn them from Swagbucks and other reward sites.
Fabric Converter 5 of 10This is a must-have app for any crafters out there! When the pattern calls for a certain fabric width but the materical you've fallen in love comes in another, this calculator will help determine your purchase.
Groupon & Daily Deal Apps 6 of 10Groupon, Eversave, and other daily deal sites have mobile apps. Not only will you never miss another deal, but you can redeem your deal vouchers right from the app, avoiding the cost of printer ink and the risk of losing the voucher along the way.
SWAGG 7 of 10Use the SWAGG app to eliminate the giant stack of rewards & gift cards. Simply enter the cards into your app and use them at checkout from your phone. There are also mobile coupons to use at their partner stores to save extra money.
ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner 8 of 10Just like with the Amazon app, you can scan the barcode of items you are considering for purchase. See reviews, compare prices online, and find items available in your area.
Fuel Finder 9 of 10You'll always get the best price on gasoline when you use the fuel finder. It shows the prices for gas stations in your area. We use it a lot for traveling by looking ahead to find the best place to stop along the way.
Cellfire Mobile Coupons 10 of 10I love Cellfire e-coupons as a simple way to save money without clipping coupons. But, it doesn't work if I forget to check before I leave the house. With the mobile app, I can store digital coupons right there in the store — it will even pop-up with a reminder when I get to Kroger.
Please note I am only familiar with the iPhone, because that's what I've used for the last several years. However, I do know that many of these apps are also available in the Android marketplace.

"Ferdinand Pecora's famous 10-day investigation into the secrets of Wall Street in 1933 makes a superb story…It has an ideal storyteller in Michael Perino." -Financial Times
A riveting courtroom drama with remarkable contemporary relevance, The Hellhound of Wall Street brings to life a crucial turning point in American financial history: the 1933 hearings that put Wall Street on trial for the Great Crash. Michael Perino recreates the ten dramatic days when Ferdinand Pecora, a Sicilian immigrant turned Senate investigator, cross-examined the officers of National City Bank (today's Citigroup), particularly its chairman, Charles Mitchell, one of the best-known bankers of his day. Pecora's rigorous questioning exposed City Bank's shocking financial abuses, revelations that galvanized public opinion and led directly to the New Deal's landmark economic reforms.

Anyone who has ever been to a trade show will be aware of what monumentally dull affairs they are. Exhibition halls bigger than American fridges are filled to bursting point with stand after stand of besuited bores eulogising about their particular bit of technology and its role in industries so dull that if you ever discussed them in real life it would result in instant social castration.
Show me someone who could get excited about attending events such as The Cleaning Show, Subpostmaster Show or The International Brazing and Soldering Conference and I'll show you someone who I really don't want to get trapped in a lift with.
Thankfully, when it comes to putting on an expo, the automotive industry manages to buck the trend. Take motor sport exhibitions, where the vehicles vie for attention with svelte young ladies wearing attire that their mothers may struggle to approve of. The trucking community is also not averse to having a little fleshy exposure in proceedings and distinguishing between a gathering of motor cycle manufacturers and soft-core pornographers is nigh on impossible.
Main stream motor vehicle manufacturers by and large do not resort to quite such base tactics, but thanks to glamorous product launches still manage to pull off an air of excitement. The largest of the breed – the Frankfurt Motor Show – kicked off this week and has already proved to be an extravaganza of exciting new metal as manufacturer's battle to produce the star turn.

Meta Tag Considerations
Though most largest search engines do not 'spider' the keyword Meta Tags on your page, and in some cases ignore these completely, the use of Meta Tags on your page still serves an important purpose. There are literally hundreds, even thousands of smaller search engines scattered all across the Internet. Whilst the bigger engines tend to 'spider' whole pages instead and obtain their results from that, these smaller search engines don't have as much physical space to work with and must do things differently. It is in these particular engines you will find that Meta Tags are still very important.
Re: Meta Tag Considerations
Yes and its always a good option to have one but you should not be wasting lots of time making the metas but just 10 minutes and then forget it.
Re: Meta Tag Considerations
I still use meta tags. It's so easy because it's basically copy and paste. Here's a generator to save you some time: http://www.submitcorner.com/Tools/Meta/
Re: Meta Tag Considerations
So that means you dont waste lots of time on it. Thats what is the best way to have the Metas.
Re: Meta Tag Considerations
Exactly. I also heard that having different meta tag desciptions for each of your pages help out a lot. Is this true? (It takes more time but it might be worth rewording your descriptions for each page).
Thanks for reply

MUNCIE, Ind. – Ball State men's golfers Tyler Merkel and McCormick Clouser were selected to the Academic All-Mid-American Conference Team announced Wednesday by the league office.
The Cardinals tied with Kent State and Toledo for the most selections in the MAC as voted on by the league's faculty athletics representatives.
Merkel was named to the Academic All-MAC Team for the third year in a row. A three-time MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week during his career, he graduated this spring with a 3.866 GPA in business administration. The Evansville, Ind., product finished with a 73.99 career scoring average, which ranks second in school history.

On the course, Clouser was a second-team All-MAC pick this year after leading the Cardinals with a 75.00 scoring average. He had four top-20 finishes on the season.
The Academic All-MAC honor recognizes student-athletes who have excelled in athletics and academics. In order to be nominated, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA and have participated in at least 50 percent of the contests for the particular sport.

A 21-year-old Buffalo man remained hospitalized in serious condition Monday morning after he and an accomplice were shot by one of the men they held up Sunday evening in the University District, police said..
Bernard Byrd III, who apparently was shot in the chest, remained in Erie County Medical Center, where he was taken after the robbery on Minnesota Avenue, just west of Eggert Road. He and Robert Moore, 19, also of Buffalo, were charged with first-degree robbery.
"Initial indications are that two suspects attempted to rob a male victim, when the victim shot the two suspects," police spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge said.
Detectives have said the two suspects took a gold necklace and an undisclosed amount of cash from a 50-year-old man.
The intended victim of the robbery had a permit for his gun, police said.
Following the double shooting, police arrested both fleeing suspects and, with the help of K-9 Herc, recovered the stolen necklace and cash.

Oklahoma governor, North Texas leaders applaud new American Airlines pilot contract
Yes, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport CEO Jeff Fegan did take time out from their busy schedules Friday to take note of, and give their approval to, the passage of a new contract by American Airlines pilots.
But consider that American's maintenance base in Tulsa is very important to that city and to the state of Oklahoma, just as American's maintenance base, huge operating hub and headquarters facilities are very important to North Texas.
Here are the statements:
"We are pleased and appreciative for the hard work and compromise that went into reaching the consensual agreements between American Airlines and its labor unions.
"With the successful ratification of the new labor agreement with the pilots, American Airlines and its union leaders have reached nine new labor agreements that set the stage for the company's emergence from bankruptcy.
"We are optimistic that American Airlines, its unions and its stakeholders are charting a course that will ultimately see the company emerge as a vibrant, growing and sustainable airline. A strong American Airlines is good for DFW Airport and good for the citizens and businesses of North Texas."
Joint statement, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price, and DFW International Airport CEO Jeff Fegan
"Ratification of a new contract by the Allied Pilots Association at American Airlines is a critical milestone in the restructuring of a great company.
"With valuable passenger service at three airports and over 6,000 employees at the Tulsa Maintenance & Engineering Base, American is a major contributor to our state's success.
"Congratulations to union leaders and the management team at American that have successfully negotiated nine new contracts in just over one year.
"Oklahomans hope this new momentum will mean a quick exit from reorganization and a bright future for one of Oklahoma's most important employers."
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin

Around $300,000 of volunteer work and donations were unveiled Tuesday when the Lahaina Public Library reopened its doors after a three-month renovation made possible by community organizations and volunteers.
"It looks fantastic. We're so happy it's open," said Povi Larsen of Napili, who was reading to her 2-year-old daughter, Kailea, in the library's new children's section.
Article Photos
Napili's Povi Larsen reads to daughter Kailea, 2, at the Lahaina Public Library on Tuesday afternoon, the day the library reopened after a renovation project. Larsen said they have been visiting the library since Kailea was born and had to drive to the Kihei Public Library while the Lahaina facility was closed.

Lahaina Public Library Branch Manager Madeleine Buchanan basks in the improvements to the facility not long after it was reopened to the public Tuesday afternoon. The renovation project was the result of community organizations and volunteers.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
The Larsens, who drove to the Kihei Public Library when Lahaina was closed, had already gathered up a bag full of books to borrow in less than half an hour. Mother and daughter sat on a newly upholstered bench, a donation from a business.
Povi Larsen admired the library's shiny new green floor. The new flooring replaced the old asbestos tiles that lined the floors, said library Branch Manager Madeleine Buchanan.
"It feels great," Buchanan said of the renovations as well as finally reopening the library's doors.

When: 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday
What: Awarding of certificates by state Sen. Roz Baker, tours of the library, ice cream and refreshments. No regular library services will be available.
The event is free and open to the public.
Buchanan noted the various upgrades, 34 new bookcases that replaced the taller and old "mix and match" cases of wood and steel as well as the new granite-covered circulation desk, new desk for the public computers, new coats of paint and new restroom facilities.
"It really makes you appreciate what the community does," Buchanan said of the volunteer efforts to renovate the 57-year-old library.
Over three years, the Rotary Club of Lahaina, with the cooperation of the Maui Friends of the Library, fundraised and solicited donations for the project, said project coordinator Sara Foley, who sits on the boards of both organizations.
Volunteers got the blessing and help of the Hawaii State Public Library System for the project, which didn't cost the state a dime, organizers added.
According to an announcement, the project started with a benefit that raised $5,000 for library furniture, but when designer Rick Cowan of Archipelago Maui created an interior plan and suggested the entire library be redone, Rotary members agreed.
Foley said she felt "terrific" to see the project come to fruition.
"The community was incredible here," she said.
Foley thanked the contractors and volunteers who donated their time, money or gave the organizations "deep discounts" for their top-notch work. Restaurants donated lunches for workers, and other businesses and individuals also donated time and money.
"You ask people to help, and they do. It's very aloha," she said.
Foley estimated that, including in-kind donations and help, the cost of the project is around $300,000. She said out of that total the out-of-pocket costs were around $84,000.
Volunteer John Tryggestad of the Maui Friends of the Library stood outside the library waiting for its doors to open.
"It's been fun watching the progress," he said of the renovations that ran from August to this month.
Tryggestad of Kihei said that even before the construction work began, his volunteer efforts began as he collected 750 cardboard banana boxes. In them, the library moved 35,000 books.
On Tuesday, he described the transformation as "totally awesome; it's beyond our dreams."
In an email, State Librarian Richard Burns called the combined effort of the organizations to help the library "unprecedented in Hawaii."
"The amount of support they have marshaled in their community, including volunteers, fundraising, in-kind donations and manpower, are an inspiration. Not only has this collective effort refurbished and rejuvenated the library building, it has motivated the support and appreciation of people throughout the community for their library," Burns wrote.
Burns will be on hand at the library's official grand opening celebration and blessing on Sunday.
Buchanan, who has worked at the library for six and a half years, can now take full advantage of the local breezes, because the new and lower bookshelves allow air to circulate better in the library, which has no air conditioning.
And, she can clearly see from one end of the library to the other, the water at the wharf as well as smell the sea breeze.
Besides enjoying the scenery, Buchanan said patrons will be able to better use the library now that staff has set up the adult section near the public computers. Adults can sit and wait on chairs nearby and read a magazine.
The children's section has been moved from near the computer area to the Front Street side of the building, allowing children their own space, without adults waiting for computers infringing on the children's section.
Buchanan said that the renovations did not give the library more space for books because staff needed to see how the layout of shelves and other furniture would look like once the renovations were done.
But surveying the space Tuesday, she said the library probably could accommodate more books, but it would need more bookcases, which are not on hand. But they could be donated, she added.
The closure of the library gave staff members time to weed out old VHS tapes. Now, there are at least 100 more DVD titles to borrow, Buchanan said.
Although patron Maria Sweet of Honokowai liked the renovations, she added that she would like to see more computers as well as have the library open more frequently.
The library's regular hours are Tuesdays, noon to 8 p.m.; Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Fridays and Saturdays, 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
For more information, call the library at 662-3950.

Recently published Phase IIa trial results in PLoS ONE show that the frequency of specific, drug-induced mutations in the HIV genome can be significantly increased by administering KP-1461, a drug being developed by Koronis Pharmaceuticals. Koronis is planning a follow-on Phase II trial to determine the treatment duration required to achieve a clinically meaningful decrease in a patient's viral load.
During this week's podcast Dr. Mark Fromhold discusses the significance of the clinical trial findings and how a drug such as KP-1461 goes about doing its job. He also talks about Viral Decay Acceleration, which is the technique the company is using to develop antiviral therapies, and outlines the company's strategy for turning KP-1461 into a clinical HIV therapeutic.
Mark G. Fromhold, Ph.D., is the vp of manufacturing and business development for Koronis Pharmaceuticals. He earned a BS in chemistry from Hope College followed by an MS in inorganic chemistry and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Indiana University.
Dr. Fromhold joined Koronis Pharmaceuticals from ICOS where he headed CMC development, strategic sourcing, and external GMP manufacturing for small molecule therapeutics. Prior to ICOS, Dr. Fromhold worked as a research scientist for Chiron and PathoGenesis, where he led CMC teams and headed process development and scale-up of numerous drug candidate molecules ranging from reverse transcriptase and kinase inhibitors to antibacterials.

Now that's a bump!
While heading to the gym on Wednesday, an expectant Jessica Simpson was photographed in Los Angeles wearing a form-fitting black top that showed off her growing belly.
Shielded by sunglasses, Simpson, 32, looked relaxed in comfy green sweatpants and her hair up in a high ponytail.
The Weight Watchers spokeswoman is expecting her second child with fiancé Eric Johnson. The couple are already parents to 9-month-old daughter, Maxwell Drew.
But the mommy mogul is doing more than just expanding her family, she's also taking on a maternity-focused business venture. Simpson recently partnered with Destination Maternity to feature her designs at over 800 stores.

All the line's ships hailed from other brands within Carnival Corp. They all received refurbishments and Australian touches before joining the P&O Cruises Australia fleet.
The most recent is 63,500-ton, 1,800-passenger Pacific Pearl, the former Sitmar FairMajesty and original Ocean Village ship. The ship features the line's first ever celebrity chef, Luke Mangan, who has added his touches to the menu in the Salt Grill restaurant. Also added were a giant outdoor LED big screen, an outdoor circus arena and a large Marquee Theatre. A recent refurbishment has seen the addition of interconnecting staterooms and a New Zealand Natural ice cream parlor.
Rounding out the fleet is 70,310-ton, 2,020-passenger Pacific Dawn, the line's first mega-ship, which was built in 1991 and joined P&O Australia in 2007. It has also undergone a recent major refurbishment, including the addition of more interconnecting rooms, suite upgrades and an ice cream parlor. Finally, there's similarly sized Pacific Jewel, the 70,310-ton, 1,950-passenger former Ocean Village Two, which joined the fleet in 2009.
Discover top cruise destinations on one of 6 P&O Australia ships.
Until Carnival Cruises deployed Carnival Spirit to cruise year-round from Sydney, P&O Cruises Australia was the only cruising fleet permanently based in Australia. The company, which is owned by Carnival Corp., currently operates three ships cruising Australia and the South Pacific, with itineraries expanded to feature New Zealand, Fiji, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. In 2015, however, two ships -- Ryndam and Statendam -- will be transferred from Holland America to P&O's fleet. Following a major competition in July 2014, cruise fans have named them Pacific Aria and Pacific Eden.
P&O Cruises Australia's history dates back more than 75 years, and the P&O connection goes back even further. British-based P&O first visited the island nation in 1857, playing an important role in the Royal Mail, wartime assistance and the surge of immigration to Australia. On the leisure front, P&O Cruises Australia pioneered pleasure cruising in the waters off Australia in 1932. The first cruise was with 23,000-ton liner Strathaird, which sailed from Sydney to Norfolk Island with 1,100 passengers and offered such niceties as ballroom dancing, live theater and elegant dining. The idea caught on. Today, P&O Cruises Australia carries more than 200,000 passengers per year.
P&O mostly sticks with what it knows, and since the popularity of cruising Down Under is growing, so is P&O. What have been added to the line's itineraries lately are new destinations within Australia, as well as more themed cruises like the ones that allow racing fans to attend the Melbourne Cup. P&O also has an active online community, and the company regularly holds promotions and contests using social media tools. Naming the two Holland America ships joining the fleet is one example, and the cruise line received more than 30,000 entries from eager fans.
Editor's Note: P&O Cruises Australia will welcome two new ships in November 2015. Pacific Eden and Pacific Aria will join the fleet as part of Carnival Corp & plc's effort to meet growing demand in Australia. With the addition of the new ships -- presently the company's Holland America Line-branded Ryndam and Statendam -- P&O Australia's fleet will grow to five ships, making it the largest year-round fleet in Australia.
P&O Australia offers a lively, mainstream experience with a friendly international crew that's used to dealing with the congenial and fun-loving Australian crowd. The atmosphere is more Carnival than Princess, with a focus on budget and value for money, rather than luxury.
That said, the line is popular across the generations, from singles and families to seniors; children are kept busy with good kids clubs staffed by qualified teachers and childcare workers. In fact, the line has won accolades for its family-friendly atmosphere.
Culinary choices include primary dining rooms and informal buffets, as well as a casual deck grill and alternative dining for a fee, including the renowned Salt Grill by Luke Mangan. A while back, P&O introduced "Your Choice Dining," with no fixed sittings or reservations required in the dining room during dinner hours, an initiative which has been rolled out to all ships in the fleet. The cuisine has been improved over the years, and it generally receives favorable ratings from passengers, although some complain the buffets could pay more attention to variety and detail, especially where salads are concerned.
Onboard activities are far ranging, and they include fitness classes, cooking demonstrations, mixology classes, live bands, dancing, game shows, table tennis, casinos, cabaret shows, karaoke, deck parties, spa treatments, trivia quizzes, in-cabin movies, shuffleboard, bingo, dance classes, themed nights and parties, talent shows, enrichment lectures and port talks. Also growing in popularity are short theme cruises with a focus on food and wine or health and fitness, featuring speakers, presentations and special activities.
The Australian dollar is the onboard currency. The ships no longer have formal nights with black tie requirements. Instead, there's usually one or two "cocktail" nights (check your itinerary), where men can wear jackets (without ties), although the jackets are optional, and women don cocktail dresses or similar attire.
Enforced tipping isn't an Australian custom, so gratuities are not added automatically to passengers' onboard bills, leaving them to tip if they wish.
Passengers come mostly from Australia and New Zealand, with some ex-pats from Great Britain. P&O welcomed its three-millionth passenger back in 2011, reflecting the incredible growth in the local market. For P&O specifically, passengers range from children to seniors, and the average age is around 42 years old, which is younger than the ages of people you'll find on many American and British lines.

Victoria McGowan recorded her fourth career triple-double with a 19-point, 12-rebound, 10-assist performance as Stetson defeated host Lipscomb 68-54 in an Atlantic Sun Conference game Monday night at Allen Arena.
Shanasa Sanders added 17 points and six rebounds in the Hatters' (19-7, 12-3 A-Sun) final regular season road game of the year.
"I thought we played a lot harder in this game than we did (Saturday) at Northern Kentucky," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "It was also one of the best games I've seen Victoria McGowan play. It was a complete game on both ends of the floor. She really carried us and played her rear end off tonight."
After compiling an NCAA-best three triple-doubles last season, McGowan registered her first such performance in 2012-13. The Hatter senior went 7-for-13 from the floor and 3-for-5 from behind the arc while playing 37 minutes. McGowan also recorded her 500th career field goal and her 400th career assist during the first half.
"My main focus today was defense, and the offense just came," McGowan said. "Just playing hard was the main thing for me."
Trailing 5-4 early in the game, Sanders ignited an 8-0 Hatter run with a turnaround jumper in the lane. The basket would give Stetson a lead it would not relinquish.
Ashley Dennis then blocked a Lipscomb three-point attempt on the defensive end before converting a lay-up a few possessions later to put Stetson ahead by three.
Lipscomb (2-23, 1-13) cut the deficit to just one point on two different occasions, including pulling within 17-16 at the 10-minute mark. That would be as close as the Bisons would get as the Hatters outscored Lipscomb 18-4 over the final 10 minutes of the half to take a 35-20 lead into the locker room.
Included in that late first-half stretch for Stetson was a key 7-0 burst over a short 56-second span. McGowan worked off a screen for a wide-open lay-up, Sasha Sims picked up a steal at half court and converted an easy basket in transition, and Jama Sharp knocked down a wide open three-pointer to put the Hatters ahead 30-19.
The Hatters went on another run early in the second half, this time a 9-0 spurt, to extend the lead to 46-24. Sanders scored 13 of her points in the second half to help Stetson close out the 14-point victory.
The Hatters dominated the inside game, outscoring the Lady Bisons 42-8 in points in the paint.
Stetson will play its final three regular season games at home, including a match-up with Florida Gulf Coast next Saturday at 1 p.m. The Hatters are 12-0 at the Edmunds Center this season and have won their last 16 consecutive games at home.
Notes: Stetson's 68 wins since the start of the 2009-10 season ties the school-record for most wins in a four-year span … Sasha Sims is 12 points shy of 1000 in her career … Cherisse Burris has recorded a rebound in all 60 of her career games … McGowan's 12 rebounds and 10 assists each tied a career-high … McGowan is the fifth player in school history with 400 assists and ninth player in school history with 500 field goals. She is the only player with over 1400 points, 400 assists, and 200 steals in Stetson history. All of her triple-doubles have come on the road … The Hatters scored 160 points in two victories against Lipscomb this year … Sanders has scored 16+ points in seven straight games.

-- Mayo Clinic Team Reports a Remission in Myeloma Patient Treated with a Massive Dose of Engineered Measles Virus
-- A New Path Forward in Myeloma Research Stirs Excitement in the Myeloma Community
North Hollywood, CA, May 23, 2014 – The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) – improving the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure – says a new approach to myeloma treatment reported last week by Dr. Stephen Russell and Dr. Angela Dispenzieri at the Mayo Clinic, which showed that a myeloma patient treated with a massive dose of engineered measles virus experienced a remission, offers a new path forward in treating myeloma.
Dr. Russell presented initial findings from this work at the IMF's International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Summit in 2011, and is scheduled to discuss these new findings at the 2014 IMWG Summit in Milan, Italy in June. "The IMF expects results from expanded clinical trials and research into additional viruses to offer more information about the potential of this exciting new virotherapy approach for myeloma treatment," said Dr. Brian G.M. Durie, IMF Chairman. "This stunning result opens many possibilities for further trials."
The IMF, which reaches more than 350,000 members in 120 countries, is in a unique position to monitor the pressing concerns of the myeloma patient community. "Patients have been extremely excited by the news surrounding the virotherapy success achieved at the Mayo Clinic," said Susie Novis, IMF President.
Dr. Durie cautions that there are some caveats associated with the study: Only one patient responded with a remission, and only 50% of patients are candidates for the engineered measles virus treatment as the rest have antibodies that will fight off the virus.
However, "despite many challenges, there is considerable optimism that virotherapy is a dramatic new way forward to treat myeloma using a completely different approach," said Dr. Durie, who spoke with Dr. Russell this week and commented in depth on the news in his weekly IMF blog. "It may or may not ever be a 'one-shot cure' but maybe a 'one-two punch' in which follow-up radiation or other therapy can provide a 'knock-out' blow."
The engineered measles virus is just one virotherapy approach, he noted. "Other viruses have been discussed with potential advantages over the engineered measles virus." In particular, he said, "the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) has no systemic (whole body) antibody response, and all patients can be expected to have zero antibodies. The VSV works faster and is definitely more potent than the measles virus in destroying myeloma."
Celebrating its 23rd anniversary, the International Myeloma Foundation reaches more than 350,000 members in 120 countries worldwide. A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients and their families, the IMF focuses on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 250 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned hotline, and established the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), a collaborative research initiative focused on improving myeloma treatment options for patients. The IMF can be reached at (800) 452-CURE (2873). The global website is www.myeloma.org. Follow the IMF on Twitter @IMFmyeloma.

Swaziland seeks new ways to care for AIDS orphans
16 August 2006
by Sarah McGregor
Buseleni, Swaziland: If it takes a village to raise a child, AIDS-ravaged Swaziland is showing the way. It has to -- its parents are dying.
The tiny African kingdom, sandwiched between South Africa and Mozambique, is among the hardest hit countries in the world by the HIV/AIDS epidemic with an estimated adult infection rate of 40 percent.
In Buseleni, a rural chiefdom about 100 kilometres south of the capital Mbabane, the community gathers for up to five funerals per week, many of them for parents in their 30s and 40s.
"It's stressful," said Nomsa Masuku, a widely-respected community child carer. A fellow carer, Irene Dlamini, agreed, adding: "Orphans are the children of the chiefdom. It means that it's up to all of us to take care of them."
Swaziland, a country of just over a million people, is estimated to have 70,000 AIDS children under the age of 17 who have lost one or both parents -- part of a growing tide of children robbed of their parents by Africa's AIDS epidemic.
In a report released on Monday to coincide with the World AIDS Conference in Toronto, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), UNAIDS and the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief said 12 million of the estimated 48 million orphans in sub-Saharan Africa had lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS.
"Millions of children affected by AIDS are out of school, growing up alone, vulnerable to poverty, marginalisation and discrimination," UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Rima Salah said in a statement.
"Children who have lost parents and care-givers are left without their first line of defence."
Swaziland's orphan population is expected to grow by at least 15 percent by 2010, according to the report, increasing the burden on an impoverished population already struggling with regular food shortages and high unemployment.
Many orphans are absorbed by local communities, cared for by grandparents or extended families or by village elders.
And, increasingly, they are being helped by more organized outreach programmes -- a demonstration, organizsers say, that even poor African countries can develop ways to cope with an AIDS crisis which shows few signs of abating.
The Swazi programme, developed in cooperation with the government and international agencies such as UNICEF and the World Food Programme, has set up a network of some 430 volunteer-run "neighbourhood care points" (NCPs) that reach 33,000 orphans and at-risk children.
Launched in 2003, the one-stop-shops range from outdoor meeting points to small two-room buildings where orphans learn to count and read, eat two meals a day and receive health treatment from a mobile clinic operating out of a flatbed truck.
The model creates tailor-made solutions to the orphan crisis at a total cost of $1.7 million a year donated by UNICEF.
"The NCPs have made the children more visible and their rights more obvious," said Pelucy Ntambirweki, UNICEF programme coordinator. "At least now during the day they can learn, eat their meal and have someone to protect them."
Social vaccine
The NCP program is sometimes referred to as a "social vaccine" -- aimed at heading off the nightmare future of a society largely stripped of parental love, care and support.
"The care-givers treat me the same way as my mother and father," said 12-year-old Nomcebo Mndzele, who lost both parents and is provided food, schooling and companionship at a centre that caters to dozens of youngsters, from babies to pre-teens.
Buseleni Chief Sibukani Lukhele said despite the programme, young people are reeling under the psychological impact of AIDS.
"As a young person you look at the people who are ahead of you in life and you lose hope because they are dying left, right and centre," he said.
Swaziland has developed a national plan of action on the orphan crisis, waiving school fees for affected children and investing in farm inputs such as fertiliser to increase agriculture productivity and improve food security.
But everyone agrees that more needs to be done to help Swaziland's most vulnerable youth who, like children across Africa's AIDS belt, face a future that looks increasingly grim despite the efforts of their villages.
"I feel like if this disease doesn't stop there won't be a Swaziland anymore," Masuku, the child carer, said.

Because the steps of the decimator are much smaller, they are used to add additional gain values between the (big) analog steps. So the gain will always change in 0.5dB steps, and be the optimal combination of analog and digital gain. Line-in and internal mic gain are saved separately. In the recording screen, with volume selected, pressing down first selects both left and right gain for stereo change. Pressing down again will then first select left gain, then right gain.
BugsWriting a recording to disk when disk is full results in a corrupt file being written which not readable (without repairing the file using third party software) in Rockbox or otherwise. This is more of a filesystem bug but occurs during recording and not playback. It is the last known critical recording bug for the iriver h100 series and possibly all of the coldfire targets. See FS#5852 for current status.

NIAGARA FALLS – A Buffalo Avenue 7-Eleven was robbed at gunpoint Monday night, two hours before four people walking to a convenience store also were robbed by gunmen on 17th Street. The holdups were not related.
In the first robbery, two men wearing hoodies, black gloves and covering their faces grabbed cash and lottery tickets from the 7-Eleven at 6802 Buffalo Ave. just before 11 p.m. Monday, Niagara Falls police reported.
The clerk told police that one man with a handgun jumped up on the counter and repeatedly demanded cash from the register, while another kept watch and took lottery tickets.
Both men were described as white with slender builds. The man with the gun was wearing light blue jeans, a brown zip-up hoodie, white sneakers, black gloves and a black bandana across his nose and mouth. The second man, who did not display a gun, was wearing a maroon hoodie pulled around his face, gray cargo pants and black gloves, according to police who watched security video. Police said they found a brown hoodie, which they suspect was the one seen in the video, and $5 bills while searching the area.
In the second armed robbery, just after 1 a.m. today, four men and women said they were walking to a convenience store when four black men wearing ski masks and dark hoodies approached them in the 700 block of 17th Street and asked for a cigarette. When the victims said they didn't have any cigarettes, two of the men displayed handguns and demanded that they get on the ground and empty their pockets, police said.
One of the victims told police he was kicked in the face by one of the suspects and told they would kill him if he looked up. The victims handed over four cell phones and a benefit card, according to police.

COLUMBIA - One can excuse the South Carolina politico for being a bit sensitive when it comes to the idea of transferring power among the state's executive offices.
Friday's temporary transfer of power - if one can even call it that - from the office of Gov. Nikki Haley to a Democratic lieutenant governor likely will go down as unremarkable, despite its extraordinary sounding nature.
Haley underwent an outpatient procedure on her right arm called "right radial nerve decompression," similar to procedures done for carpal tunnel syndrome. It was necessary at least in part because Haley has signed about 39,000 letters since she took office in 2011, said Haley spokesman Doug Mayer.
Before she went to the hospital, Haley called the man who recently assumed the No. 2 post, Democratic Lt. Gov. Yancey McGill.
The power struggle that recently consumed the Statehouse for months around the usually under-the-radar lieutenant governor's spot elevates Haley's morning procedure, as do the unforgettable events surrounding the disappearance of her predecessor.
After the 7 a.m. procedure Friday, Haley's doctors were probably almost finished by the time many noticed an Associated Press report saying the governor had temporarily transferred power to McGill, who could have executed the first act from a Democrat in that office since 2003.
But no problems came up and nothing needed to be done, Mayer said. McGill could not be reached for comment.
The power transfer wasn't a formal act, Mayer said. Under the state constitution, the lieutenant governor may step in during an emergency when the governor cannot perform his or her duties.
Haley didn't sign any documents to transfer power, but she called McGill at 4:15 p.m. Thursday to notify him of her planned surgery, Mayer confirmed.
Haley then called the lieutenant governor after her surgery around 10 a.m. to tell him it went well and she no longer needed him on standby.
A cyclone of heavy-handed politics had put McGill on the other end of that phone call. He was elected not by popular vote but by the will of the Republican majority in the state Senate. Former Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell abruptly resigned during the legislative session this year, and no Republican wanted the mostly powerless job (a job that McConnell never wanted either but felt compelled to assume after Ken Ard resigned because of ethics woes).
While some had suggested the state could go without a lieutenant governor, Haley had insisted otherwise.
Friday's act showed she was right, some said.
Friends and would-be foes praised Haley's decision to notify the second-in-command, especially in light of former Gov. Mark Sanford's disappearance to Argentina in 2009 that left the world looking for him and state leaders wondering who was in charge.
House Speaker Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, who has feuded with Haley in the past, wished the governor a speedy recovery.
"The episode of a few years back shows us why (communication with the lieutenant governor) is needed," Harrell said. "She did the right thing informing him that she'd be out of commission. It looks to me like the system worked like it was supposed to."
Former Gov. Jim Hodges, the last Democrat to occupy the office, said a routine, relatively quick surgery may not have even required any publicity.
"I think it would be OK not to say anything about it," he said. "(But) in the next day or two, she's going to appear publicly and have a cast on her hand. People are going to be curious about what went on ... and that necessitated revealing the nature of the surgery."
"I don't see it as a big deal," he added.
There have been several instances of lieutenant governors needing to step up in a pinch. Notably, former Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling helped coordinate the response after a mass shooting at Virginia Tech in 2007 when then-Gov. Tim Kaine was out of the country.
If anything, Friday's event underscored the fact that the governor and lieutenant governor are elected separately in South Carolina. After this November's election, that will change - the two positions will run together on the same ticket, like the president and vice president.
"Every lieutenant governor who has ever lived, with the exception of the current one, has always seen himself as the next governor," said Bob McAlister, who worked as chief of staff to former Gov. Carroll Campbell.
In that way, with the two offices separated by only a lobby on the Statehouse ground floor, the tension between them can be notable, McAlister said.
While some might think that Haley could have announced the so-called power transfer earlier, McAlister said a lot of politicians would have done the opposite.
"Nobody would ever know about it," he said.
But in a state where governors have gone missing recently and where an unelected Democrat with supposedly the weakest job in Columbia can potentially take the reigns of a red state for a few hours - and with transparency being one of the values Haley has talked about most - it was understandable she erred on the side of caution.
As Harrell put it, "Another day in the life of the state capital."

Farmers Used To Beat Us
Another name for the clothing company
by Farley - DKF January 23, 2005
(n) Hiphop clothing company founded in 1992. FUBU is an acronym for "For Us, By Us", referring to the founders purpose: clothes designed by African-Americans for African-Americans. Many items from the clothing line display the number "05", which stands for the five childhood friends from Queens who founded the company. In an interview with HarlemLive, Carl Brown and Keith Perrin of FUBU state: "There were five of us all out of Queens, we grew up together as friends and remained friends. With $5,000 seed money we were able to start our business." In 1999 FUBU reported an annual turnover of about $350 million. "Under the FUBU is a guru" -- Common (The 6th Sense 2000)

The Bino Bivy protects your optics with durable padded protection, which comes complete with a lightweight torso harness, accessory pockets, lens cloth and leash.
It is no doubt that your optics are one of the most important accessories in your arsenal. With the introduction of the Bino Bivy, you now have an effective option to protect your optics. A lightweight mesh harness system, handy accessory pockets, silent magnetic closures and DWR soft shell fabric make the Bino Bivy the ultimate in padded optic protection.
First and foremost, Sitka has been the best customer service I've ever experienced. No automated systems when I called and a very patient and helpful staff. Don't be hesitant to call for info and or when figuring out how layer for your hunt. Unfortunately my binos viper HD 10x42 do not fit and I had to return the system. With that said, overall the design of the system is great. The magnetic closure is strong and all stiching was tough and durable. The case itself has a webbing inside the holder, which holds the binos in place if you need to stalk hunt with the the lid open for the last minute grab and go. I love the open country design pattern and wish they sold a bigger system. I called Sitka and there is discussion of a larger system. Once released I will be purchasing and testing immediately. The reason for the four stars is although the product didn't fit my binos, is that as a system it's well made, durable and quiet. Before you buy, however, realize they are for small binos only.
Too small. Wish Sitka made one that would fit my Leica Hd-b rangefinders.
The Good: Great case, like the zipper and magnet. Good harness. The Bad: Doesn't fit any of my high end binos. The case is WAY TOO SMALL. MY Swarovski EL 10x42's don't fit, the 12's obviously not, and the Vortex Razor HD's barely fit and it's too snug to get them quickly and quietly out. Please make the case bigger, sorry but I don't need to protect my cheap luepold or bushnell binos but those are the only ones that fit! Oh and I don't want to read more reviews from guys who test GORE products for a living, or get free stuff from Sitka. Why would they give it a bad review?
overall i like this pretty good. I have a pair of Zeiss Terra's 10x42 and they fit pretty snuggly and was very hard to get out of the bivy. I cut the mesh divider on the inside out and am all is golden. That is the reason for the half star deduct i had a hard time cutting a brand new 130.00 product. I did add a upgrade that fits the bill perfectly as the bivy has a ring to secure your bios from falling. i looked up the rick young outdoors site and purchased the extra clip and split ring set and i have a simple and cheap 5 dollar add on that makes the bivy perfect after a modification.
My Petzel bug pack has a magnet in the top of the map pocket slot between the bag and straps and it has never erased any magnetic media as far as I know, however, if your binoculars record to RAM and it is wet and there is a magnet nearby. On the other hand should you WANT to erase anything quickly it might be handy to have a powerful magnet you keep way away from normal use areas. [/] Choice of how you use gear is as important as original intended purpose. Is that right?
This is my favorite item from Sitka. I have a pair of leupold Mojave 10x42 and they fit perfectly with room for more. The lense cloth that is built into the bivy is a awesome feature and I use it regularly. It is very comfortable and functional. The magnetic flap is a great way to keep debris off your glass when you want to have quick access to your glass. Also the straps on the side are a great place to put your rangefinder or gps. I would recommend this product over and over worth every penny.
The Bino Bivy keeps my binos protected and within a arms reach. Exactly what I was looking for when purchasing new binoculars.
Hey Garin - Thanks for reaching out. Sounds like you have a bad apple in this case. This warrants a replacement. If you ever have any troubles with a product please give us a call - 877-748-5247. Our Customer Service Team is here to help if you ever feel like something just isn't right or you not happy with a product.
I like the harnes and attachtment clasps. The bino bivy stays where you want it. The only problem I had with this is the flap kept swinging open with very little movement I had to keep holdin it closed when going through some thick stuff. The magnets that hold the flap closed are very week and do not get the job done when the zipper is not closed.
I had originally heard some contradicting reviews on this bino bivy so I figured since my job is to test GORE products, I would give it a try. After only one day trip, I love it! in all fairness I did have to cut out the mesh from the inside to allow for easy removal of my binos, but that was the only issue I have run into so far! Great piece..
We all know how important it is to keep our optics in tip top shape. The Sitka Bino Bivy is a must. It keeps your optics out of the elements and tight to your chest eliminating that annoying bounce on your chest. The harness is very comfortable to move in and adjusts easily. The pouch has a magnet allowing it to stay open and out of the way, and the side pockets work great for calls, knife, compass, ect. As a GORE Hunting tech I get the test a lot of gear and this is one piece I will never leave at home.
Tired of your optics bouncing all around and getting beat up? I was but that all changed when I got the Bino Bivy, keeps your optics nice and tight to your chest and keeps dirt, pine needles and anything else off your optics. I love the wide pockets they are perfect for windicators, calls, knifes ect. As a Gore Hunting tech I get to use a lot of the Sitka line up and would say this peice is essential weather hunting in the desert or the cold snowy mountains deep in the Montana back country.

Saturday, June 14, 2014
Recently, I found two boxes of slides that my father took from 1949 through the 1960s. Many of the slides were from his days on the USS Princeton and USS Yorktown as a Navy fighter pilot during the Korean War. My dad died in 2008, so I couldn't ask him about the slides, but fortunately he had labeled each slide.
Curious about his military service, I searched online for his squadron number and found the website www.koreanwar.org. A man from Arizona, Ray, who was in that squadron, had posted a message. I contacted him and asked if he had known my father, and he responded that he had known him and that my father was featured in a series of several short stories Ray had written about his war experiences.
Because my dad's name is very common – Bill Smith – I was a little skeptical that we could be talking about the same man.
But in the first story, which was about wanting to go on shore in Hawaii with a beard (some ships didn't allow facial hair), Ray had the original note that my dad had signed stating "This man is allowed to leave the ship wearing a beard." There was his signature, which was so familiar to me!
In another story, the squadron was training at China Lake, Nevada, and they witnessed a fatal crash of one of the pilots. Ray, only 22 years old, was extremely upset, and my dad put his arm around him to comfort him.
I will especially remember these stories as we celebrate Father's Day this year.
It was not until 1972 that Father's Day, created to complement Mother's Day, became an official holiday nationwide. Sonora Smart Dodd, who was raised along with five siblings by her widower father, helped establish the first Father's Day in 1910 in Spokane, Washington. Today, Father's Day is celebrated in many countries on the third Sunday of June to honor fathers' contributions to their children's lives.
Times have changed, and today we no longer think of fathers as depicted by Robert Young in the 1950s TV series "Father Knows Best." According to the website www.fatherhood.gov, there are about 70 million fathers in the U.S. and about 189,000 of those are stay-at-home dads. Fathers are definitely more involved in the day-to-day lives of their children than they were 40 or 50 years ago.
Two books you might enjoy are "Fatherhood: Rising to the Ultimate Challenge" by NBA player Etan Thomas and "Do Fathers Matter? What Science is Telling Us About the Parent We've Overlooked" by Paul Raeburn. On a lighter note, TV personalities Bill Geist and his son Willie have written "Good Talk, Dad: The Birds and the Bees and Other Conversations We Forgot To Have." "Pregnancy for Dads" by Joe Kelly is for future fathers.
