INWOOD - Musselman's Trevon Wesco swears the elbow was not deliberate.
His coach, Derek Basile, isn't so sure.
No doubt about it, Basile will think next time he checks himself into an Applemen practice.
Article Photos
"One day we were down a guy in practice, so I went out there and I'm playing defense on Trevon," Basile said. "He comes around and catches me on the jaw. My gum goes flying out of my mouth. He looks at me and says, 'Oh. Sorry coach.' He got me good too."
Basile laughs at the memory.
Wesco laughed when asked about the incident. If you have a free shot at your coach, and you aren't going to end up running laps, you almost have to take it, right?
Wesco, however, emphatically eschews that notion with almost as much force as one of his elbows.
"I'm not a dirty player, and I wouldn't do that to coach... on purpose," Wesco said, laughing. "I really felt bad about it. I said, 'Oh my bad. Sorry about that coach.' The next day he told me he thought he broke his jaw."
The point being, Wesco plays one way; hard. That is predicated on his strength.
Wesco and Musselman begin Class AAA, Region II, Section 1 play tonight, hosting Jefferson. The winner will play at Martinsburg Wednesday.
Ultimately, how far Musselman goes will be directly tied to how well Wesco plays.
Everyone knows that.
Numbers don't lie. Wesco is averaging 19 points, 13.4 rebounds and nearly four assists per game.
"He kind of relishes that role, he wants the ball in crucial situations," Basile said. "But he also isn't afraid to go to his teammates. I think that's one of the main differences between Trevon the first two years and Trevon now. I think in the past, he thought he had to win games. He probably took some bad shots because of that."
He has always been known as a scorer, though not necessarily a shooter.
"Everybody says I'm a shooter, but I'm not," Wesco said. "I'm not really a good shooter at all. I need to work on my jump shot. I'm more of a take-it-to-the-basket guy. I do a lot of my work around the basket. That's where most of my scoring comes, inside the paint."
He also said the one-man show tag is greatly exaggerated.
"I can't win games by myself, that's crazy," Wesco said. "I would like to think I have always been a use-my-team kind of player. It's a team game."
That's why he is most proud of his assists number.
With 85 assists in 22 games, the stat represents the fact that Wesco is just as happy being a facilitator as he is a scorer.
He is also proud of the rebound mark.
It represents something his grandfather, Gene Linaburg, has been stressing since Wesco started playing basketball.
"He has always told me to stay focused on the court, and to be strong and aggressive," Wesco said. "He's taught me a lot about basketball. I thank him for that every day."
That's because Linaburg knows a thing or two about basketball. He holds the school record for rebounds in a game with 27. For now, Wesco said.
"Oh, I'm going to break that record," Wesco said. "I've come close, I could never quite get there. I think I had 24 in a game once. I'm going to break it though."
Maybe the toughness comes from the fact that Wesco is an outstanding football player. A receiver last year, the 6-foot-4, 220-pound junior may switch to quarterback next season.
Football is, he said, his favorite sport.
No word on whether or not new football coach Brian Thomas will try to defend Wesco this fall.
Basile would likely urge him not to try.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Altoona's dual meet with archrival Hollidaysburg Thursday night started with the Golden Tigers in control.
But it ended with a Mountain Lions' blitzkrieg that put the match snugly into Altoona's collective back pocket.
Altoona overcame a 27-0 deficit after the first five bouts by sweeping each of the next eight en route to a 42-30 victory over the Golden Tigers at the Hollidaysburg Area Junior High School gymnasium.

Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec
Altoona's Jacob Scheinberg wrestles Tevin Pulcine.
Altoona's Daniel Querry and Hollidaysburg's Darren Bowser square off.
"Our guys wrestled hard,'' Altoona coach Joel Gilbert said after watching his team improve to 7-9 in duals. "Hollidaysburg has a nice team, but we stormed back tonight. I'm real happy with the way it turned out.''
The match began at the lowest weight class, 106 pounds, where returning Class AAA state qualifier Damian Huff of Hollidaysburg (14-2 this season) mashed out an 18-2, 2:34 win by technical fall over Jeff Bryan. Sophomore Darren Bowser followed with a 13-0 major decision over Daniel Querry at 113, and Hollidaysburg's Mark Kociola and Nathan Hagg both took forfeit victories for Hollidaysburg at 120 and 126 pounds, respectively. The Golden Tigers' Colton Walls pinned Kyler Bender with a cradle at the 2:53 mark of the 132-pound bout, giving Hollidaysburg the 27-0 cushion.
Then Altoona put on its game face.
The Mountain Lions responded with five falls over the next eight bouts to cinch the victory.
Senior Dylan Rodgers got the ball rolling for Altoona with an 11-4 decision over Luciano Tuscano at 138, courtesy of five takedowns.
"Rodgers wrestled a solid bout tonight, without a doubt,'' Gilbert said.
After sophomore D.J. Hollingshead (26-3 this season) took a forfeit win at 145 for Altoona, three-time PIAA Class AAA state tournament qualifier T.J. Brandt used a double arm bar to pin Calob Walls 1:14 into the 152-pound bout. Brandt, who bumped up a couple weights from his customary 138-pound slot, improved his season record to 21-3.
Altoona kept on rolling at 160, where returning regional qualifier Markief Knode battled back from a 2-1 third-period deficit to take a 6-2 win over Jakob Wolk. At 170, Altoona's Trenton Kephart needed only 50 seconds to pin Nick Servello, and Nick McCarthy gave the Mountain Lions their first lead of the night, 30-27 by pinning Ian Bilofsky in 5:14 at 182.
"Nick McCarthy really stepped it up for us tonight,'' Gilbert said of the Altoona junior. "He's been a spot starter for us, but now that we've got all of our guys at their normal weights, he's going to continue to be in the lineup. He got an opportunity tonight, and he took full advantage of it.''
McCarthy overcame an early 4-0 deficit to run off 13 straight points before getting the fall. Hollidaysburg coach Mike Moore, whose Tigers dropped to 2-6 in duals, felt that the 160 and 182-pound bouts were instrumental in the final outcome.
"We got off to a good start, but we knew they were strong up the middle with Brandt and Hollingshead,'' Moore said. "I thought the 160 and 182-pound matches were key matches. We were winning both those matches, but we ended up on the short end of both of those matches.''
Altoona kept its foot on the gas pedal at 195 pounds, where senior Mante Barnes, another returning regional qualifier, came up with seven takedowns in the first minute of the bout before pinning Van Lanzendorfer in 1:08.
"Mante really looked good on takedowns,'' Gilbert said of Barnes, who placed fifth at the prestigious Powerade Tournament at Canon-McMillan High School in late December. "He's hungry this year. He's getting ready for districts and regionals.''
At 220 pounds, sophomore Jacob Scheinberg locked up the dual meet win for Altoona by pinning Tevin Pulcine in 3:33.
"Scheinberg really wrestled tough,'' Gilbert said. "He went after his opponent, worked for the fall, and got it done.''
Scheinberg's pin gave Altoona a 42-27 lead, and enabled the Mountain Lions to breathe easy entering the 285-pound bout, in which Hollidaysburg's Matt Barton carved out a 7-3 decision over Austin Rosenberry on the strength of a four-point move in the second period. It was Barton's 20th win in 22 decisions this season.
Meet notes: It was senior night for the Hollidaysburg wrestling team, and the squad's two graduating seniors, Barton and Bilofsky, were honored with their parents in a pre-match ceremony ... The match was televised on State College-based station WHVL-TV, with former United States Olympian and Penn State All-American Ken Chertow handling the color analysis. It will be re-broadcast on Sunday at 2 p.m. ... Hollidaysburg visits Central Mountain next Tuesday night, when Altoona will also host Westmont Hilltop in a match that will be held at the Altoona Area Junior High School gymnasium.
106-Huff, H, tech. fall Bryan, 18-2, 2:34. 113-Bowser, H, maj. dec. Querry, 13-0. 120-Kociola, H, won by forfeit. 126-Hagg, H, won by forfeit. 132-Colton Walls, H, pinned Bender, 2:53. 138-Rodgers, A, dec. Tuscano, 11-4. 145-Hollingshead, A, won by forfeit.

DMDK Cadres Say No to Alliance, Vijayakant to Decide Later
By IANS - CHENNAI
Published: 02nd February 2014 10:36 PM
Last Updated: 02nd February 2014 10:48 PM
Actor-turned-politician A. Vijayakant, DMDK party chief, Sunday said he has the power to decide on an alliance for the Lok Sabha polls, even as party cadres are opposed to it.
Party cadres shouted "no" when he asked them whether the DMDK should align with any other party for the general elections.
Vijayakant was addressing the party's anti-corruption conference in Villupuram district, around 160 km from here.
The Bharatiya Janata Party in Tamil Nadu is hoping to fight the elections by aligning with the DMDK-MDMK-PMK.
The BJP has already roped in MDMK and talks are on with PMK.
The M. Karunanidhi-led DMK has also approached the DMDK for an alliance

Show #3813
Luke Wilson, Dan Mintz, and Imagine Dragons.
PLUS: Academy Awards Snubs; Chinese Hackers; Pope Springs; Tony Mendez's New Show; a Top Ten List; and a Lady with Meteor Fragments That Look Like Celebrities.
" . . . and now, the father of our country . . . . . . . . David Letterman!"
- "The Academy Awards are this Sunday. It takes a lot of nerve for a four-hour show to give an award for editing."
- "Tough categories this year. "Lincoln" is up against the Pope for Best Big Hat."
The Academy Awards are this Sunday and we've been looking at people who have been snubbed over the years in a piece called, "Academy Awards Snubs Throughout History."
ANNOUNCE: "Humphrey Bogart, 'Casablanca.'
Mia Farrow, 'Rosemary's Baby.'
Cyneyt Arkin, 'Turkish Star Wars.'
This has been 'Academy Awards Snubs Throughout History.'"
These Chinese hackers have gone nuts. First, they hacked the New York Times. Then they hacked Apple. Now Dave says they've gone too far. We take a look at what happened earlier today right here in our building.
We see a staffer . . . I'll call him Mike Leach . . . we see "Mike Leach" putting a bag of popcorn into the microwave. He presses the buttons and waits. When time is up he reaches into the microwave for his popcorn . . . . which is now in a Chinese take-out carton! Mike Leach cries out: "Nooooooooooo!"
Dave is not happy about it either. He can only snarl, "Those bastards."
The Academy Awards are this weekend but there's a new movie that's already attracting buzz for next year. We take a look at the trailer.
We see scenes from the Meryl Streep/Tommy Lee Jones "Hopes Springs."
ANNOUNCER: "Sometimes your relationship needs a kick start."
MERYL: "I need a real marriage again."
MERYL'S FRIEND: "For that to happen, you would have to risk everything just to shake things up."
STEVE CARREL AS MARRIAGE COUNSELOR: "It's not impossible and it's not too late."
ANNOUNCER: "Something that takes you out of your comfort zone."
MERYL: "I'm so glad you're here."
Camera widens to find Meryl in Carrel's office sitting on the couch . . . . with the Pope.
POPE: "That makes one of us."
ANNOUNCER: "'Pope Springs' . . . it's time for this Pope to get this second calling."
GRAPHIC: "Coming soon"
The Pope has announced that he would be resigning at the end of the month. Who will replace him? That question is still to be answered, but we do have someone who will NOT be elected Pope. We take a look.
We see a guy bopping himself over and over again on the head with a plastic bat.

Dave opened the monologue with some Odd Dave stuff for my files . . . he twisted himself into a pretzel-like headlock. Hey, it's his show. He can do whatever he wants.
It's exciting to have a TV show, but it's also very satisfying to see those who work around you being recruited, offered, and excelling in their own projects. Yesterday we learned of Pat Farmer's "Pat's House," and now it's Cue Card master Tony Mendez with a show. Dave asks Tony about it.
TONY: "It's called 'Delis, Food Carts, and Pizza Joints.' It's a show where I travel around New York City sampling various foods. I brought a clip!"
We watch.
We find Tony in a car.
TONY: "I'm Tony Mendez and we're rolling out, looking for New York's greatest delis, food carts, and pizza joints."
Tony drives off and then we find him inside a pizza parlor.
TONY: "Today I'm at Famous Amadeus Pizzeria in New York City where my buddy, Sal, is going to let me try a slice of his famous Meat-rific Pizza! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. What's on the pizza, Sal?"
SAL (behind the counter) "Pepperoni, sausage, meatba . . ."
TONY: "Sounds delicious!"
Tony quickly starts eating the pizza. When he finishes, he gushes to Sal.
TONY: "Thanks, Sal! That was very tasty. I'll see you around."
Tony begins to leave.
SAL: "Wait a minute . . . you didn't pay for that!!"
TONY: "But I'm on a TV show!"
SAL (grabbing Tony's arm) "Hey, pay for that slice before I kick your ass."
Tony grabs a nearby bottle and cracks it over Sal's head. Sal falls to the ground as if it was a real bottle and was really hurt.
Tony quickly turns to the other diners in the pizzeria.
TONY: "You didn't see nuthin'!"
Tony runs away.
We see the closing credits. That's me as a hot dog vendor in the still-shots. Knowing I would be a hot dog vendor today, I dressed in my weekend clothes for the part. When I went to wardrobe for an apron, Sue Hum told me, "Oh, we have to get you better clothes than that."

TOP TEN: QUESTIONS ON THE ACADEMY AWARDS SEAT FILLER APPLICATION - When someone in the audience at the Academy Awards gets up from their seat for any reason, a hired seat-filler quickly runs to occupy the seat. We can't think that there might be an empty seat during the show. The network doesn't want to take that as a cue for us at home.
10. Do you have any prior experience sitting?
9. Any botox allergies?
4. Where do you see yourself sitting in 5 years?
Luke is thrilled to be here, mainly because this is the place that brought the sneezing monkey to the American people. He likens it to a 100 mph fastball. You can go to it anytime you need it. We take a look at the sneezing monkey. Dave explains we got the shot by pure luck. The camera guy saw a rat running around his feet and became distracted. When the ball was hit, he didn't know where it was so the camera guy kept the shot on the batter, Carlton Fisk. We then see Carlton waving the ball . . . . . . hold it . . wait . . . . no, I'm wrong. I'm thinking of cameraman Lou Gerard at Fenway Park in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. My bad. We got the sneezing monkey shot by accident when we had left the camera running on the monkey between takes. With the camera running, the monkey sneezed and it was captured forever. I think National Geographic has requested the footage. Luke is surprised the sneeze happened here. He thought it was in a doctor's office or something. I can understand his misunderstanding. If a monkey was in a doctor's office you might expect him to sneeze.
Luke likes to babysit his nephews, sons of this brothers Owen and Andrew. Luke would hang with friends and bro Andrew to look after Andrew's son. Yeah, it usually takes a team of guys to watch one kid. The guys wouldn't censor their talk and the swear words would flow rather easily. This wasn't good in front of a child. The guys couldn't help themselves. Eventually, Andrew sat his 5-year-old son down and told him not to repeat the bad words he's been hearing. Wise boy. He would no longer repeat the bad words he heard around the house, instead substituting "Dirty" for "givl" and "djoy." If he stubbed his toe, he would growl, "Dirty!"
This reminded me of an episode of "The Bill Cosby Show," starring Bill Cosby as gym teacher Chet Kincaid. His basketball team was getting technicaled for their bawdy language. He had them use other words instead of swearing. One word I remember was "Peanut brittle!" I think so, anyway. It was in 1969. Maybe the word was "Pumpernickel!"

A meteor exploded over Russia's Ural Mountains and has set off a rush to find fragments of the space rock. With us tonight with her collection of meteor rocks is Laura Ehrlich. Enter Laura Ehrlich.
DAVE: "Thanks for joining us. Now you were over there in Russia when the meteor exploded?"
LAURA EHRLICH: "No, friends of mine at the University were traveling and they brought some back."
DAVE: "And you discovered some fragments of the meteor . . . . resembled celebrities, is that right? Can we take a look?"
LAURA: "Sure." Laura takes out her first meteor fragment.
LAURA: "This first fragment looks like Christopher Plummer." Dave holds the rock up to the camera. We take a look at a split-screen of the fragment and Christopher Plummer. I'm not sure I see it.
LAURA: "This next one looks like Tom Selleck."
Dave holds the rock up for a split screen of the rock and Selleck.
LAURA: "Actually, you have it upside down."
Dave turns the rock right-side up. The likeness is questionable at best.
LAURA: "And this is Tom Selleck without his mustache."
Split-screen of the rock and skin-lipped Tom.
DAVE: "I'm not really sure I'm seeing the face, Laura . . . "
LAURA: "You'd be surprised how many people say that."
DAVE: "You know, we don't have a lot of time, so we need to wrap it up."
LAURA: "One more . . . . Alan Arkin."
She hands the rock to Dave who holds it up on the desk for a split-screen. This one DOES look a bit like Alan Arkin. How about that?
DAVE: "Well, Laura, it's been interesting having you here. You certainly seem to know a lot about meteors. What do you do for a living?"
LAURA: "I'm a day manager at a Carvel."
DAVE: "Laura Ehrlich, ladies and gentlemen. We'll be right back."
"Unless we get hit by a space rock, we'll be back Monday with Alec Baldwin, and Emmylou Harris with Rodney Crowell."
We cut to Alan who is fanning a wad of one-dollar bills.
ALAN: "Yeah, I guess Big Red's doing all right for himself."
Alan smugly looks at his money.
I wonder what Alan will do with all those singles?
He's the voice of Tina on "Bob's Burgers" on FOX Sunday nights. Joining us for the first time, his stand-up involved his being an only child, batteries, his e-mail password, and life with wife.

Time for my Academy Awards picks for the Office Pool. I should do better than usual because I've seen two movies this year instead of my usual none.
Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway - in "Les Miserables" - she had to get a real short haircut for the part.
Supporting Actor: Philip Seymour Hoffman - "The Master" - because I liked him in a small wrestling movie a while back.
Actress: Jennifer Lawrence - "Silver Linings Playbook" - because I saw this movie.
Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis - "Lincoln" - c'mon, it's Lincoln.
Director: Spielberg - c'mon, it's Spielberg
Best Picture: I know near nothing about movies. All I know is from the clips I see here on the show. To separate myself from the rest of the crowd in the office pool, I have to go for a big upset in the biggest category.
What film will win? It all depends on what the voters voted. If they voted when "Lincoln" just came out, they voted for "Lincoln. " But "Lincoln" seems to have lost a bit of steam. "Argo" was hot for a while but that died down a bit, too. Plus, Ben Affleck was not nominated for Director so you rarely win one without being nominated for the other. And now "Silver Linings Playbook" is the hot ticket. I think Argo and Dark Thirty will split the vote, hurting their chances. I'm leaning toward "Lincoln" because the Academy is enamored with Spielberg.
Dammit, I'm going with "Argo." It's won every time leading up to the Academy Awards. NO! NO! I'm going for the long long shot of "Les Miserables." Picking some Shakespeare movie over "Saving Private Ryan" a bunch of years ago won me the office pool. I'm going to do the same this year. Plus, if I'm right with "Argo" I'm just one in a million and will soon be forgotten. If I'm right with "Les Miserables," Nikki Finke will want to interview me.
It's "Les Miserables."
I think I just lost 10 bucks.

Many B2B companies approach social media the same way they approach other parts of their business. With silos. No matter the size of the company, there are separations that reduce efficiency and cause confusion both within and outside the company. Even social media starts in a silo, usually in the marketing or pr department. And don't even get me started on technology silos where company data lives in different systems depending on the function.
Here are some ways to use social media to break down the silos in your B2B company:
1. Align Sales with Social Media
The lack of alignment between sales and marketing continues to exist as more B2B companies use social media to generate leads and improve their prospecting. Short of doing an exchange program where you embed a marketer in your sales team and a sales person in your marketing team, this starts with communication. Make sure that each team understands the other's challenges. Marketing is now responsible for more of the journey through the buying process than ever before. Prospects no longer come to sales to learn about the company and how they can help. That information, as well as recommendations, are all available on the social web. When marketing and sales work together to develop personas and social media content to address those personas' issues, they both have skin in this game. If both are responsible for creating a process where marketing can generate leads that sales wants, this results in not just better leads, but sales.
2. Get Customer Service On Board
As B2B companies establish social media accounts on major platforms, usually by marketing to start pushing out company messaging, customers and prospects will start asking questions. These could be simple pre-sales questions that can be easily answered with a link to an FAQ document, or they could be customer service issues that need to be addressed by a customer service rep. What usually follows is a lengthy email exchange between the social media person and the customer service rep, resulting in a response back to the customer. If the customer service team were actively engaged online, this would tighten their connection with marketing, because they would need social media training, an understanding of what online documents are available and visibility into the content calendar so they would know what is being shared when. Major announcements drive awareness and cause an increase in customer service questions. The customer service can also contribute to creating social content based on their communication needs.
3. Get Product Team Blogging
The marketing or social media team usually own a blog at most B2B companies. This means that there will be certain kind of posts with a specific target and tone. One of the best ways to broaden the tone and scope of a company blog is to add writers from other parts of the organization. Look first towards the product team. This doesn't mean they should write about your products, but about their view of the world. A product team that is creating solutions in response to customers, competitors and industry have a unique perspective that can add to your company's thought leadership. Planning and executing their regular blog contributions tightens the connection between marketing and product teams that would not otherwise exist.
4. Launch an Internal Social Network
There are many options for an internal social network and the resistance to this approach is eroding. Yes, these programs are often called Facebook for the enterprise, but they are more about collaboration. One way to use an internal social network is to free information from email, hard drives and employees' brains. Rather than share a customer presentation with your team by email, share it on your internal social network and tag it so others can benefit from your hard work. If you have told a compelling story, there is no need for others to re-invent the wheel. You can also ask questions of the company. I have seen examples where someone is in a meeting with a customer and has asked a question on the network, only to get a answer a few minutes later, while still talking about the topic.
5. Create a Social Media Council
A social media council can help any company that is planning to become more social. Gathering people from all functions across the company, including marketing, sales, customer service, HR, IT, legal, finance can get everyone on the same page about how social media can be integrated across the company. This is not about getting everyone to talk about what the company should tweet, but it is more about process. How comfortable is the legal team with your company's planned social media presence? How does HR approach comments made on social media by current and prospective employees. What does it mean for sales and customer service now that anyone can easily contact the company on Twitter? Getting everyone in the same room can really serve to make sure they are aware of what's going and that they are part of the process to move forward.
What are other ways you have used social media to break down the silos at your B2B company?

Questions About Asthma Medication
When you have questions about using your asthma medications or need to help your child with his or her medications, getting the right answers can make a big difference in controlling symptoms. Below are answers to some common questions about asthma medications. Be sure to talk with your health care provider or pharmacist if you have any questions about these medications.
Q. What are some signs that my medication schedule may need to be adjusted?
A. If you are using your quick-relief medication for asthma symptoms more than twice a week, or more often than your health care provider recommended, see your health care provider.
Q. What are some signs that my asthma may be out of control?
A. If your symptoms cause you to miss work or school, or if they keep you awake at night. Your provider may need to adjust your medications, or prescribe different medications.
Q. Is it OK to use my quick-relief bronchodilator more often than prescribed?
A. No. Using them more often than prescribed for worsening symptoms can delay proper treatment. Talk with your health care provider if this is occurring.
Q. What's the difference between long-term control medication and quick-relief medication?
A. Long-term control medication is taken every day to treat ongoing inflammation. This type of medication treats the underlying cause of asthma rather than lessening the symptoms. Quick-relief medication (also known as rescue or reliever medication) is taken at the first sign of asthma symptoms for immediate relief.
Q. Is it OK to stop my long-term control medication if I don't have symptoms?
A. No. The fact that you don't have symptoms is a sign that your treatment is working the way it should. If you stop taking the medication, your asthma is likely to get worse again.
Q. How can I tell if my child's quick-relief medication is working?
A. Your child should begin breathing easier and feeling better within 5 to 10 minutes. A peak-flow meter—a device that measures how fast your child can blow out air after a maximum inhalation—can also be helpful. If possible, check your child's peak flow before giving the medication and then 20 to 30 minutes afterward. The peak flow should improve by the second reading. If your child's symptoms don't improve as expected, get medical help immediately.
Q. What can I do if my child is having trouble using an inhaler?
A. An inhaler releases medicine in a mist, which is breathed into the lungs. Although this type of inhaler works well, it can be tricky to use properly. Ask your health care provider about a spacer, a device that attaches to the inhaler to make it easier to use. In some cases, a nebulizer device can be used.
Q. Can I take an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine instead of my prescription?
A. No. Never take OTC medicine in place of prescription medications. Although you might be able to use some OTC decongestants and antihistamines in addition to your prescribed medication, always check with your health care provider first. Some OTC products can be dangerous for people with asthma. .

In an interview [video]
with the CBS show 60 Minutes, the founder-and-chief of
the controversial secrets site Wikileaks discusses the recent
backlash against his site, following the release of U.S.
Military and State
Department secrets. He states, "The U.S. does not have the
technology to take the site down . ... Just the way our technology is
constructed, the way the Internet is constructed."
He adds, "We've had attacks on particular
domain names. Little pieces of infrastructure knocked out. But we now have some
2,000 fully independent in every way websites, where we're publishing around
the world. It is -- I mean, it's not possible to do."
Assange is referring to the fact that his site
lost its central domain name, most of its official hosting, and its donations
accounts. Volunteers, who host mirrors of the webpage, now sustain the
site. Attempting to access Wikileaks or searching for it in Google
results in visitors being redirected to one of these mirrored sites.
While the issue of what Wikileaks has
done is hot in the minds of many, much of the 60
Minutes interview focuses on the site's threats that it will release
damning information implicating a major
U.S. bank in wrongdoing.
In an October 2009 interview with the
International Data Group's publication ComputerWorld, Mr. Assange
claimed to possess a hard drive with a wealth of information from the Bank of
In an
interview with top business periodical Forbes, which
took place in late November, Wikileaks' Assange claimed to be preparing a
"megaleak", which would likely lead to a major U.S. financial
institution (presumably Bank of America) being investigated and potentially
charged by international authorities.
During the 60
Minutes special, interest was high on the topic, but the interviewer's
attempt to extract more info from Mr. Assange was largely rebuffed. He
states, "I won't make any comment in relation to that upcoming
But he did express that he gains pleasure from the
ill effects on the financial world his news is causing. He states,
"I think it's great. We have all these banks squirming, thinking maybe
it's them."
The interview did not touch on a significant point
in that regard -- the question of whether any Wikileaks members --
including Mr. Assange -- had profited off the stock shifts triggered by the
organization's new releases.
Some have suggested that Mr. Assange and Wikileaks may
be using its new releases to profit on the stock market. Using certain
mechanisms the site could selectively release news, dropping a commercial
entity's stock price, making money off the drop. Indeed, the Bank of
America's share price dropped 3 percent in late 2010 on speculation that it was
in Wikileaks crosshairs. The actual
release could drop stock further. It would be relatively easy for someone
affiliated with the site or its members to exploit the financial repercussions
of the site's actions.
Wikileaks is a relatively loosely
organized and regulated operation, with less than a dozen full time staff
members, by almost all accounts. The site publishes no details of its
operating procedures or finances.
Unfortunately, that question, like many others
(Mr. Assange's self-labeling
as an "anarchist" in the 1990s) went unasked in the 60
Minutes interview.
Update: Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011:
Some seemed to imply that we were making up allegations that Wikileaks was manipulating the stock market to profit itself or its financiers. This is absolutely not the case. Those capable of a quick Google search should be able to find a number of stories on this topic, such as:
"Wikileaks is harmful now, but could become even more destructive" -- Kansas City Star
Which writes:
Shares in Bank of America dropped 3 percent Tuesday. Although they recovered Wednesday, banking analyst Dick Bove said on CNBC that this may represent a new means of stock-market manipulation, by which the unknown funders of Wikileaks could profit by cratering shares in targeted companies.
Also some challenged whether Assange was ever really an anarchist. Well he said he was, at least at one time, back in the 90s. In the book Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the Electronic Frontier by Suelette Dreyfus, which Mr. Assange edited, researched, and contributed text to, an autobiographical passage by Assange describes:
As he quietly backed out of the system, wiping away his footprints as he tip-toed away, Mendax [Assange] thought about what he had seen. He was deeply disturbed that any hacker would work for the US military.
Hackers, he thought, should be anarchists, not hawks.
quote: There is also a difference between collateral damage(civilians killed when targeting an enemy), and terrorists who intentionally target civilians. Collateral damage is not something you want to announce to the world, but it IS expected in combat. The problem is that when civilians are killed, it tends to bring more people into the fighting, so it is best to keep that sort of thing quiet since killing the people over there is NOT the goal.
quote: Do you REALLY want to go into the whole war in Afghanistan? The US was fully justified in going in over there, which is why there was so much support around the world. Many can question why the US forces are still there, but the initial war over there after 9/11 WAS justified.
quote: Afghanistan is fairly useless outside of it's proximity to the Middle East, so really, there is no reason why the USA would want to be there.
quote: If there were documents that showed that George W. was using bad or obviously falsified information to justify invading Iraq and THOSE were leaked, THEN I can clearly see a lot of support, because it would help get US forces out of there. In this example, leaked information would help reduce violence.
quote: One thing that you do not seem to have noticed is that the USA has not gotten ANY oil out of any of the countries in the Middle East over the past several wars, including Kuwait. There may be people making money off these wars, but the USA is not taking any oil, and that is another reason why all of these wars do NOTHING positive for the USA. Going to war to grab oil at least makes SOME logical sense, even if it isn't a proper way to do things. Going to war just so a certain Vice President could get more profits for his friends is clearly wrong, and is something that should have been punished by now.
quote: On a final note(for this post at least), attacking the White House, Pentagon, or other military/government targets can be seen as a "valid" attack by those at war with the USA. The World Trade Center/Twin Towers on the other hand is a clearly civilian building.
quote: Also, the crap where people are kidnapped and then decapitated, since it goes against the Geneva Conventions is also not acceptable, so harsh treatment for THOSE types is called for as well.

Senior Zander Gahn, 17, wants to use his Mr. DHS experience to be an example of how to take advantage of every opportunity.
Zander and his 10 fellow contestants are raising money for the high school's annual safe and sober grad night celebration.
"Mr. DHS is an opportunity to show people it's extremely easy to be confident and show people how much self-esteem you have," Zander said. "Why not take advantage of every opportunity you're given. I'm going to have fun with it, and that's all that matters."
For his talent, Zander chose to perform a self-written song on acoustic guitar.
"It's going really well. I'm kind of stuck right now, but I've got plenty of time until Friday to figure it out," he said on Tuesday. "I'll tell the crowd to cheer for me either way so I don't feel bad about myself."
The Mr. DHS competition starts with a five-minute, super hero-themed dance number. The contestants then compete in the categories of talent, pick-up line and formal wear with on stage question.
Jake Wartgow, 18, grew up watching his older brothers' friends compete in Mr. DHS, and decided to try it himself.
"It's been something I've grown up seeing, and I've really wanted to do," he said. "I'm hoping to win, but everyone is really good."
Jake decided to perform a Saturday Night Live skit for his talent.
"It's good," he said. "I wrote down some of my lines last night, and my parents think it's funny."
Dane Olsen, 18, said the opening dance routine is the most difficult part of the competition.
"It will be about smiling and trying to avoid looking like an idiot," he said. "Mr. DHS is a lot of fun, and for seniors who won't be here next year it seemed like a good thing to look back on."
He also said his talent of singing Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself," and the on stage question will be a breeze.
"The song is kind of quirky so it matches my personality," he said. "And I've improved most of my schoolwork as is, so the on-demand question will be easy to answer."
Mr. DHS is 6 p.m. Friday in the high school commons. Cost is $10.

" Hunger and malnutrition are the worst enemies of humankind. They deny to children – even at birth – an opportunity for the full expression of their innate genetic potential for physical and mental development. Freedom from hunger is the first requisite for sustainable human security. This will depend upon the productivity, profitability and sustainability of agriculture, as this edition of the World Disasters Report points out. Therefore, if food and nutrition policies go wrong, nothing else will have a chance to go right."– M. S. Swaminathan, Member of Parliament, India; Chairman, M.S. Swaminathan Research FoundationThis year's World Disasters Report focuses on the growing crisis of hunger and malnutrition. Smallholder farmers who produce half the world's food are among the almost 1 billion people who go to bed hungry every night. Millions of children suffer the irreversible effects of undernutrition. Increasing food insecurity weakens people's resilience to disasters and disease, and people everywhere are experiencing the increasing volatility of food prices.

Another proverbial Streetcar Named Desire rolled through Mansion Park Friday night.
This one wore a definitive shade of blue and gold.
The Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils escaped from the precipice of defeat in regulation, mounting an impressive 81-yard, game-tying drive to score the tying touchdown with just 32 seconds left and force overtime in their PIAA, Class A state quarterfinal-round playoff matchup with Delone Catholic.

Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Nick Torsell recovers the fumble that ended the game around teammates Tyler Campbell (36) and Ethan Hunter (75).
Bellwood showed the same indomitable spirit to win the game, 33-26 in double overtime, with junior halfback Casey Gray scoring the decisive touchdown and B-A's defense forcing a fumble on Delone's second-overtime possession that junior defensive end Nick Torsell recovered to ice the outcome.
The Blue Devils (13-1) became the third team in school history to reach the PIAA semifinals, joining the 1988 and 2006 squads. Bellwood will face Dunmore of District 2 - a 34-12 winner over District 1's Bristol Friday night - in the semifinal showdown next Friday at a site to be determined.
The winner of that game will advance to the Class A state championship game Friday, Dec. 14 in Hershey.
"It's a great feeling,'' veteran Bellwood coach John Hayes said in the aftermath. "It's a reward for the kids who have sacrificed so much and put in so much work. And it's a feeling of great fulfillment for the coaches, too. But we know that next week is another week, and all these good feelings could go south.''
Bellwood's chances to advance were going south quickly late in the fourth quarter Friday. But trailing, 20-12 with 2:30 left, Bellwood took over on its own 19 and marched 81 yards in 11 plays for the tying points. Senior slotback Haden DeGennaro - who sustained a leg injury in overtime - scored on a 1-yard run off the left side with 32 seconds left in regulation to pull B-A to within 20-18.
Senior quarterback Seth Worthing then ran a perfect play fake into the line with Gray before hitting wide-open senior tight end Ian O'Shea in the left corner of the end zone to tie the score, 20-20.
"I delayed to make it look as if I was blocking, then I shot out to the outside,'' O'Shea said. "We work on that play a lot. It's one our main two-point conversion plays.''
The drive turned the momentum of the game back in Bellwood's favor after the Blue Devils had missed a scoring opportunity earlier in the fourth quarter following senior Keith Shawley's block of a 33-yard field goal attempt by sophomore Jay Strickland and Cameron Worthing's 58-yard return to the Delone 20.
"It was do-or-die,'' Hayes said of the game-tying drive. "We had a chance after the blocked field goal, but we didn't succeed. Then we got another chance and we got great running from Gray and DeGennaro and great blocking on the drive. All the things you work on in practice, we performed close to perfection.''
Gray - who rushed for 128 yards on 25 carries and scored both of Bellwood's overtime touchdowns on a 1-yard run in the first session and a 10-yard burst in the second session - said the Blue Devils' confidence never wavered.
"Our team never gives up,'' he said. "We saw that there were two minutes left. We knew we could drive down the field. We knew we could do it.''
Bellwood won the coin toss in the first overtime, and deferred possession to Delone, which took a 26-20 lead on senior quarterback Brett Smith's 10-yard, first-down scoring pass to diving senior tight end Austin Noel in the deep right corner of the end zone. Shawley blocked Strickland's conversion kick, however, which proved to be important when Bellwood took its possession and tied the score, 26-26 on Gray's 1-yard, third-down TD run but missed a chance to close the deal in the first overtime when senior Tyler Campbell's conversion kick sailed wide left.
Campbell redeemed himself in the second overtime, tacking on the point-after-kick following Gray's 10-yard, first-down scoring run up the middle to give B-A a 33-26 lead.
Delone took possession, but Torsell recovered junior fullback Matt Guiffreda's second-down fumble on a run up the middle from the 10 to secure Bellwood's trip to the semifinals.
"The ball just got loose, and I jumped on it,'' Torsell said. "There was no way I was going to let it go.''
Delone Catholic, which closed a 9-4 season, appeared to have the game in hand midway through the fourth quarter. Down 12-0 in the first half, Delone stormed back and eventually took a 20-12 lead when Brett Smith, playing corner on defense, picked off a Seth Worthing pass in the third quarter and returned it 65 yards to the B-A 1, setting up a 1-yard scoring burst by senior halfback Lance Reneker.
"We still felt it was our football game,'' Smith said. "We had a lead for most of the second half. We wanted to finish. We just couldn't do it.''
After Gray's 1-yard first-quarter run and DeGennaro's 13-yard second-quarter sweep gave B-A its early 12-0 lead, Delone responded with a 5-yard scoring blast by Guiffreda in the final minute of the first half and Guiffreda's 12-yard scoring jaunt in the third quarter.
"I'm so proud of our players,'' Delone coach Steve Wiles said. "They played their hearts out.''
But so did Bellwood, and that's why the Blue Devils are living to fight another week.
"It feels phenomenal,'' Torsell said. "There are only a couple teams left at this point of the season. It's all about the will to win right now.''

Dr. Remen's grandfather, an orthodox rabbi and scholar of the Kabbalah, saw life as a web of connection and knew that everyone belonged to him, and that he belonged to everyone. He taught her that blessing one another is what fills our emptiness, heals our loneliness, and connects us more deeply to life.
Life has given us many more blessings than we have allowed ourselves to receive. My Grandfather's Blessings is about how we can recognize and receive our blessings and bless the life in others. Serving others heals us. Through our service we will discover our own wholeness—and the way to restore hidden wholeness in the world.

"A lovely, warm, inspiring book for the soul."—Caroline Myss, bestselling author of Anatomy of the Spirit and Why People Don't Heal
"Through a series of unpretentious, affecting vignettes, the author of the bestseller Kitchen Table Wisdom encourages readers to recognize and celebrate the unexpected blessings in their own lives…She gently illustrates her advice through simple yet powerful stories…[an] exceptional book."—Publisher's Weekly (starred review)

HOLLIDAYSBURG - For more than 24 years, Hollidaysburg-based children's book author and publisher Norma McPhee has provided stories for special needs children that also familiarize non-handicapped children with physical and cognitive disabilities from muscular dystrophy to autism.
"The hero in each book is a child with a disability," McPhee said.
Late last week, McPhee read a story to Stay & Play Preschool children who visit the Hollidaysburg Area Public Library weekly.
"I think it's good for kids to learn about kids who may be different from them - kids who they don't see every day so that they know ultimately they are more similar than different," parent Jessica Stanek of Hollidaysburg said.
McPhee said school districts and universities are the main market for the books. And many of the 23 books she has published have been written by educational experts, parents and school psychologists who submit manuscripts to her.
"It's reality-based fiction," she said.
McPhee, an Air Force wife and mother of four children, began writing in the 1980s for her grandson, who died before his fourth birthday from complications of severe cerebral palsy.
The Altoona Children's Center gave McPhee a memorial gift of $25 to publish the stories she had written up to that point, and the nonprofit publishing company Jason & Nordic Publishers Inc. was born.
Jason in the name is in memory of her grandson, and Nordic comes from a combination of the names of Norma and her husband, Dick. The undertaking was funded by her husband's retirement pay from his career as an Air Force chaplain.
"Just the cost of bringing out 1,500 books costs thousands of dollars," she said.
When her husband died in 2011, McPhee turned to Penn State Altoona to help her publishing company survive financially.
The Penn State Altoona student branch of the nonprofit organization Enactus - an entrepreneurial action group formerly known as Students in Free Enterprise - helps to market and manage a business until it's capable of sustaining itself.
"We help her with marketing by using Facebook and Twitter and scheduling book events to really open up her business," sophomore business student Leila Farzam said.
A story shared with the Stay & Play students was about a deaf boy who raises Sophie, a puppy who will one day become a service dog for an adult with a disability.
Children also met a special guest at the library who had a tail, they were told.
It was not a monkey and not a lion, as the children supposed.
Instead, Center for Independent Living employee Leslie Kelly visited with her service dog, a yellow Labrador named Nokie.
Kelly, who is deaf, works to increase awareness of people using service dogs.
Nokie is trained for tasks, including nudging Kelly if a fire alarm sounds, picking up her car keys if she drops them and retrieving a ringing phone for her.
"Her books are just perfect," said Kelly of McPhee.
McPhee said she is in the process of publishing a story submitted to her by a medical hospice about a child with a serious illness.
"It will be a delightful book on a difficult subject," she said.
Mirror Staff Writer Russ O'Reilly is at 946-7435.

Barbara Culmer, Joel M. Jones and Curt Slaughter will be inducted into the Fort Lewis College Athletic Hall of Fame at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Henry Strater Theatre.
Culmer was a women�s basketball standout for the then-FLC Raiders from 1986 to 1990, earning first team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and All-NAIA District VII honors as a senior � leading FLC to a share of the league title � and an All-NAIA District VII honorable mention nod as a junior.
She�s one of just four players to score 1,000 points and pull in 700 rebounds in her career. Culmer is eighth in program history with 1,040 points and sixth with 700 rebounds.
�Barb was one of the top performers on our team and for our program,� former FLC head coach Cathy Simbeck said in a news release.
Jones was president of FLC from 1988 to 1998, overseeing the transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II. During his tenure, FLC added men�s soccer in 1990, women�s soccer in 1993 and cycling in 1994 while discontinuing wrestling in 1995 and men�s and women�s tennis in 1989. The school also changed the nickname from Raiders to Skyhawks in 1994.
Under Jones� watch, FLC left the RMAC and NAIA to join the Colorado Athletic Conference and Division II before rejoining the RMAC upon its jump to Division II in 1994.
The men�s soccer program has gone on to win three national titles, while cycling has accrued 20. And women�s soccer has become a player on the national stage, making consistent appearances in the national rankings.
�He made decisions in regard to gender equity, budget and personnel that were at times difficult but ultimately positioned the athletic department for the tremendous amount of success that we�ve enjoyed in the past decade,� assistant director of athletics for communications Chris Aaland said.
Slaughter was a four-year letterwinner for the FLC men�s soccer program from 1998 to 2001, helping the Skyhawks emerge as a national player with their runner-up finish in the NCAA Tournament in 1999. He�s sixth in program history with 28 goals and ninth in points with 69.
�He scored in the semifinals and had a bunch of other big-time goals; he became an All-American,� former teammate and FLC Hall of Famer Luc Cisna said in the release.
Also on Saturday, FLC will dedicate and rename the weight room after the late Robert A. Deguelle, who died May 5, 2012. DeGuelle was a former football player and assistant coach at FLC, where he also wrestled. Deguelle was inducted into the FLC Hall of Fame in 2006.

Breastfeeding: Big in Idaho, Behind in the South
Ahead of Breastfeeding Awareness Month, we've put together a map of the American breastfeeding landscape.
Most health organizations recommend babies be exclusively breastfed for at least six months after birth, a target that is difficult to attain due to health problems as well as social, economic and cultural roadblocks. The percentage of women who do so is inching up slowly, but remains low in most states.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that exclusive breastfeeding rates at six months are especially low in the South. Tennessee and Mississippi, which also had low rates of women breastfeeding at any point, had exclusive breastfeeding rates of 4% and 5%, respectively. Rates are much higher out West, in places like Idaho and California, as well as in New Hampshire and Vermont in the Northeast.
To boost breastfeeding rates, states have enacted laws to enable mothers who wish to continue breastfeeding, while others have banned formula advertisements and gifts in hospitals.
The map below ranks states by the percentage of women who are exclusively breastfeeding at six months. Hover over a state to see its rates for breastfeeding ever, breastfeeding at six months, breastfeeding at 12 months and exclusive breastfeeding at three months.

Harriett Gaston of Altoona is "concerned" about the not guilty verdict returned by a Florida jury in the George Zimmerman murder case, and she considers the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin a "tragedy," but she also asks whether it is appropriate to attempt to resolve America's racial issues in a courtroom trial.
There was the O.J. Simpson case and the Rodney King beating case, both situations that focused the nation's attention on the law and justice for African Americans, the chairwoman of the African American Heritage Project of Blair County mentioned.
The Trayvon Martin case was similar in that Zimmerman, concerned about crime and a member of a neighborhood watch, began to follow Martin and in the end the two clashed. Zimmerman used a gun, he contended.
Gaston, in discussing the trial Sunday, said sometimes we impose the issues we are trying to deal with on other people and we have them carry the burdens.
"We get caught up in emotion. We want justice. Sometimes our vision of justice isn't what justice is. We allow folks to stir it up. They do a good job," she explained.
In the aftermath of the Zimmerman trial some expressed discontent and some planned marches, but Gaston said that putting the burden of our issues on this one trial may not be appropriate.
A trial focuses on the issues for a time but when it's over, the issues are still there, she explained.
The overall picture, as she posed it, is that there are more young black men in prison than in college. She asked, "What does that mean?"
"We have a lot of work to do," she said.
She said that everyday emphasis must be on making sure "folks, people, are being dealt with equitably," making sure people have representation in the justice system.
If people are not getting legal representation, she said, we are just putting the lid on the pot with things still simmering inside.
"I just consider the incident a tragedy," she said of the death of the Florida teen.
And, she pointed out George Zimmerman's life has been changed by all that has happened.
Gaston added a different perspective to aftermath of the dramatic not guilty verdict returned in Zimmerman's favor late Saturday night.
Other Blair County residents offered their opinions.
Michael Arter, an associate professor of criminal justice at Penn State Altoona, said he didn't know the details of trial, so he limited his comment by saying, "It was one of those situations where the facts don't match up with the law."
The defense strategy in the case was to challenge the prosecution's contention that Zimmerman was stalking and seeking to confront Martin in his neighborhood - the insinuation being that he was profiling the teen based on his race.
The prosecution, Arter said, had a difficult time proving its case and in the end was not successful.
He said he hopes the end result of the trial will not spill into the streets.
Don Witherspoon, the president of the Blair County Chapter of the NAACP, is hoping the same thing.
Witherspoon, speaking for the NAACP, said, "We are kind of disappointed in the verdict."
"Overall," said Witherspoon, "we have a good justice system."
It makes mistakes, he said, but he said he supports the system.
Witherspoon is in constant touch with the Blair County justice system, daily following cases to make certain minorities are on a "level playing field" when they go into court.
In talking about the Zimmerman case, the defendant thought he was protecting his neighborhood, but the question that loomed large for Witherspoon was, "I don't know why a gun got involved."
He said, "We are praying we don't have repercussions from the verdict.
"The country already has enough issues with unemployment ...We hope cooler heads prevail," he said.
"We are sorry for the victim's family," Witherspoon said," but he added, we should "move on."

I saw this story on ESPN and was truly moved. Not only by the story itself, and the coaches and players who did such a marvelous thing, but by Jake's amazing attitude and maturity.
The part that's truly touching is that he keeps the same attitude after surgery that he had before. Jake Olson's example reminds us to be grateful for what we have and helps us to remember that no loss demands a loss of a positive attitue.
Watch the story and tell me what you think.
