BEDFORD - A sleigh crash Sunday at an Omni Bedford Springs Resort Christmas ceremony left a carriage driver hospitalized after the passengers - actors dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus - leapt from the vehicle.
As a marching band and Christmas characters prepared for a holiday parade around 4:40 p.m., something frightened the horses pulling the wheeled sleigh that led the procession, resort General Manager S. Lee Bowden said.
"We're not 100 percent sure why, but the horses spooked," Bowden said. "Mr. and Mrs. Claus bailed out."
State police at Bedford later determined that the horses were spooked when a band began to play music.
Carriage driver Ernie Alwine fell under the sleigh and suffered cuts to his face, Bowden said. Bleeding heavily, Alwine was taken by helicopter to Conemaigh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown.
Alwine's injuries weren't life-threatening, Bowden said. A supervisor at Conemaugh said he was still in the emergency room three hours later, with no information available on his condition.
The actress portraying Mrs. Claus sprained her ankle in the crash.
Police said Alwine's juvenile daughter also sustained minor injuries in the incident.
Resort employees took control of the frightened horses, which were inspected by a veterinarian before being cleared as safe, Bedford Fire Chief Lee Reisling said.
The accident didn't stop the holiday celebration. With so many children and families in attendance, Bowden said resort staff decided to continue the tree-lighting with a change of cast and an added prayer for Alwine's health.
"We were having a really nice Christmas celebration" until the crash, Bowden said.
Bowden said the resort has employed Alwine before, including for weddings and celebrations that involve carriage rides. A website indicates he operates Misty Haven Carriage in Somerset County.

5 Covers That Improved the Lyrics of Famous Songs
#2. Dolly Parton Rights a Terrible Wrong Reclaiming "House of the Rising Sun"
Hey, remember when you all read my article about the worst changed song lyrics? You didn't? What??? OK, go ahead. I'll wait. Done? Good. Oh, and you've all pre-ordered my book, too, right? NO??? OK, go ahead.
Anyway, in that column, I explained that while I love the Animals' version of "House of the Rising Sun," it's kind of flawed because it unforgivably changed the lyric from the female to the male perspective, and in doing so, Eric Burdon was suddenly singing about the horrors of gambling all the time instead of being sold into sexual slavery.

Well, on the 9 to 5 soundtrack, Dolly reclaimed the song for the sisters! In fact, she not only returned it to the female perspective, but added some new lyrics that made the song's subject matter completely clear.
So kudos to Dolly, even if, musically, the song is nothing short of a travesty. Oh, hey, as long as we're talking about Dolly Parton and musical travesties, can I just point out this thing that happened last month on The Queen Latifah Show? It has nothing to do with this entry or this column, but I can't stop looking at it, and I also can't make it to the end. Why am I doing this to you? It's simple. I hate you. I hate you so much.
#1. Joe Cocker Replaces a Sentence With an Orgasm for the Win in His Beatles Cover
In the worst lyric change column, we all shared a laugh about how much Bon Jovi and U2 sucked for messing up the lyrics to the Beatles classic "Helter Skelter."

You laugh weird.
But number one on the list is a man who dared to change Beatles lyrics and succeeded. And that's why English bluesman Joe Cocker has claimed the number one spot. Faced with the daunting challenge of recreating "With a Little Help from My Friends," a song that was already a classic when he covered it only a couple of years later, Cocker reached deep down inside himself and came up with a sensational alternative lyric ...
"I Need Someone to Love" BECAME "MWROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!"
I don't know why that's great. It's either great or it's awful. There's no in between. And isn't there enough negativity in the world? Why do you have to be critical all the time? It's wonderful!

Claire Danes's version of "the heart wants what it wants"
Elder Ordonez/ INFphoto.com/ Getty Images
Claire Danes is promoting the new season of Homeland. She was interviewed yesterday by Howard Stern. And Howard asked her about the time she had an affair with Billy Crudup and he ended up leaving Mary-Louise Parker when she was 7 months pregnant to be with her. And why aren't we sh-tting on Billy Crudup for it? Good question. Full Story
White, Grey, and Billy
Last night, New York D&G party, Kate Hudson arrived in a white fluffy coat and grey booties with friends and also Billy Crudup, who could also be a friend. But that hasn't stopped gossips from buzzing that they're an item. If so, it was likely one night only. Love that she's such a dude when it comes to dating and you will note, unlike the Parises and the Lilos and the Britneys, even though she's probably made out with just as many if not more men of late, the "S" word has never been used. Full Story
Blotchy Karma Face
Billy Crudup was a beautiful man. Now…not so much. Last night at the Tisch School of the Arts event in NYC – as you can see, Billy looks bunk and a far cry from how pretty he once was before corrupting Claire Danes and leaving Mary Louise Parker when she was 7 months pregnant with his child.

We started working with TMMC, and in particular Claire, when we were looking for training with our web background work particularly with SEO and social media strategy.
To say this part of the overall exercise for us was successful would be an understatement as we were able to shift through the gears in just a few days and get ahead of target in all the rankings we were looking at in that time. We used a combination of one-to-one bespoke sessions and follow up webinars.
The lasting legacy of good training is still evident with the fact that we can still continue with what Claire taught us because we've managed to remember what it was she said!

Are you pleased with your current health insurance plan?
"Idiots" is a wonderfully thought out rebuttal to all of these arguments against a law that it's own author calls a train wreck. Well done sir.

"The problem with our health care system is not who is paying. The problem is it is too expensive." We've had our kids in other countries (not with universal healthcare) with doctors who trained in the US who treated them for a ruptured Achilles's tendon, for childbirth, for emergencies needing a pediatric cardiologist, etc. (And they were in top hospitals in capital cities) Cost at least 4 times less than here, usually much more than that.

That's correct, concerned. The original idea behind a law called the affordable care act was to make healthcare less expensive...it turned into a monster. And, yes, prescription drugs are crazy expensive and don't need to be.
So, what to do about it? Should the government just force a monster on us all or should the government just give up, or maybe the government should focus on the real problems? The task is daunting...and of course made worse due to the existing law and the politics involved.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said Tuesday that any GOP move was a nonstarter.
"The president's been clear. I've been clear. Efforts to either defund or delay the Affordable Care Act are unacceptable," Lew told the Economic Club of Washington. "That is not a path towards something that can ultimately be signed into law." The President's legacy is far too important and it wouldn't matter if 100% of the American people didn't want this law...it will be the law and it will happen!
Many Democrats have begun to see this as political and are wanting to find ways to make significant changes, even joining with Republicans to delay the entire program.

The problem with our health care system is not who is paying. The problem is it is too expensive. An example is I have read where our cost for some commonly prescribed drugs that cost over $100 you can buy for under $10 in some other countries. Some of the more common procedures are way more expensive here than in other countries. We are pushing 20% Of the GNP that is spent on health care. Some believe Obama care is going to push it over that figure.

Tuesday morning, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius announced on Twitter:
Big news! Nearly 6 in 10 uninsured Americans will #GetCovered for less than $100/month starting Jan 1 #Obamacare #ACA pic.twitter****/RimQkFIuPJ
However, while Sebelius's claim sounds like a sure thing ("will" get covered,) the accompanying graphic is somewhat less unequivocal, employing the phrase "can"get covered. But the truth is even one additional step removed. The HHS press release, which Sebelius refers to but does not link to, reads as follows [emphasis added]:
A new report released today by the Department of Health and Human Services shows that 56%, or nearly six in ten of the people who don't have health insurance today may be able to get coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace for less than $100 per month...maybe fewer at a larger price?
Is anything true with these people?

Sheet Metal Workers Assoc. Pres. Joe Nigro warned that if nothing is done, membership losses would mean the AFL-CIO could hold their next convention in a building 1/4th the size.
Laborers' Inter. Union of North America Pres. Terry O'Sullivan talked openly of repeal.
In the end, only the Calif. Nurses Assoc. did not back the federation's resolution calling on Obama to either protect multi-employer plans or for Congress to amend the law & that was because it wasn't radical enough.
Their pleas did not move Obama. In a meeting with labor leaders Friday, W.H. admin. officials, including Labor Sec. Tom Perez, flatly turned down their request to extend tax credits to offset the higher costs created by Obamacare.
That's tough luck for the union leaders & even tougher luck for the people they purportedly represent. The rank & file might want to ask their leaders some hard questions.

Healthcare costs in the United States are like a tapeworm eating at our economic body. Those words come from famed investor Warren Buffett, who said he would scrap Obamacare and start all over. . . . "What we have now is untenable over time," said Buffett, an early supporter of President Obama. "That kind of a cost compared to the rest of the world is really like a tapeworm eating, you know, at our economic body." Buffett does not believe that providing insurance for everyone is the first step to take in correcting our nation's healthcare system. "Attack the costs first, and then worry about expanding coverage," he said. "I would much rather see another plan that really attacks costs. And I think that's what the American public wants to see. I mean, the American public is not behind this bill."

ObamaCare has lacked broad public support from its inception in 2009, when there were not enough lawmakers who were willing to listen to their constituents to stop it from being enacted. The Republican House majority is because of ObamaCare, not the other way around.
When Obama signed the law more than 3 years ago, supporters predicted Americans would embrace it as some of the most popular provisions went into effect. But that turnaround in public opinion hasn't happened & won't.
In the USA Today poll (which is of adults, not registered voters), only 26% strongly approve of ObamaCare; 41% strongly disapprove. Total disapproval is 53%.The same proportion disapprove of the way Obama is handling health care policy.

The system is very much broken. Out of one side of their mouths they will say disarming a law abiding citizen is not a violation of rights, and out of the other side of their mouths they will say requiring doctors and mental health professionals to report people's mental health problems in order to prevent those people from acquiring firearms is a violation of rights. I get the feeling that they either really don't want to solve the problem, or they actually want to solve a problem that is different from the problem they are telling you about.

"And if you'd check 75% of the NRA membership was in favor of background chk's "
Yes, a lot of the NRA's membership has no problem with the background checks. What they had a problem with was all the other garbage Feinstein and friends were trying to get ramrodded through. When the dust settled, they got nothing! They went too far and blew it. They had a perfect opportunity to fix the background check issues (which, by the way, are bureaucratic problems and not NRA induced) and they had a perfect opportunity to address the problem of being unable to identify persons with known mental health issues prior to transfer.

"The wishes of the people. Wrong again Kozy . The NRA "
Perhaps the NRA wouldn't have the operating cash it does if it wasn't funded by so many Americans who want the NRA to represent them and exert their will. The firearms industry alone couldn't pour that much money into the NRA's war chest. Its just not that big.
The NRA has a long standing strategy of opposing any and all gun legislation. The point is not to have no regulation, but to be in a better position to negotiate. Trying to negotiate after capitulation is never effective.

STRUTHERS - With a 71-58 win over Lowellville in the Division IV district semifinals, the Wellsville Tigers continued their bid to improve upon last season's run through the tournament.
"We're in uncharted waters now, it would be nice to get out of here," Wellsville coach David Thompson said. "It could be done, but we need some luck. Youngstown Christian proved that."
The Tigers 10th win in a row also now has them in the midst of their longest winning streak since 2008. It's also the second time that the Tigers have beaten the same opponent three times in one season.
"Someone was asking today about how many we have won in a row, and I didn't even want to say it," Thompson said. "I kept saying ' I think it's eight.'"
Wellsville, however, quickly found itself down 7-0 and were forced to play catch-up early on.
"We started off pretty slow but we got into a groove in play better defense," junior Nate Scott said. "It's always hard beating a team three times. It doesn't matter who it is but we came together as a team and settled down and played basketball."
The Tigers and Rockets closed the quarter on a torrid pace with both teams exchanging baskets during the final minute, with Seth Bradford beating the buzzer to bring the score to a tie at 14.
Bradford finished with 18 points and seven rebounds. Camden Douglas also netted double figures with 14 points and nine rebounds. Jordan Sloan chipped in a double-double in the win with 10 points and 10 assists.
Wellsville opened up the second by ratcheting up the pressure on defense, but the Tigers failed to limit Lowellville's David Wilaj. Wilaj who poured in nine of his 14 first half points in the second quarter.
Wilaj was held scoreless in the second half, and didn't reach the scorebook in the final 16 minutes.
"Brendon (Carr) shut him down in the second half, he had four three's in the first half and didn't score at all in the second half," Thompson said. "He's good to have coming off of the bench because he can play defense."
In the third quarter, Wellsville's Scott caught fire and poured in 17 of his game-high 23 points during the third stanza. Scott accounted for nearly all of his team's points in that frame.
"I was just running the court and my teammates were finding me. That's how we play, fast-break," Scott said. "We were taking advantage of turnovers and come tournament time every time a team makes a mistake you have to make them pay for it."
The Rockets began the fourth quarter shooting in the bonus, but failed to connect on the front end of their first three one-and-one opportunities. Those three attempts were the only free throws that the Rockets shot in the final frame.
"We missed a ton of foul shots, that would have made a difference," Lowellville coach Michael Mangine said. "When you miss those one and one's, and then they come down and get a basket, that's a big swing."
Wellsville also benefitted from two crippling turnovers by the Rockets on inbounds plays in the fourth quarter. The Tigers cashed in on their opportunities.
"That was big, we got buckets off of that," Thompson said. "That was kind of a shot in the arm because we played five guys most of the game. Those guys sucked it up and got it done."
Wellsville will take on Youngstown Christian in the Division IV district finals at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at Struthers High School.
"Up tempo, I think we can run with them we just can't get tired," Thompson said. "They play nine or ten players and we play five or six. But we're in shape. Staying out of foul trouble will be key."
It was incorrectly reported that Mogadore coach Russ Swartz was removed from the building following the conclusion of the Youngstown Christian-Mogadore game on Tuesday.
Tournament manager Joe Fuline said there was an argument following the game, but no one was removed from the building. The fan in question was not involved with the Mogadore fan section, he said.

Anne Schrage proved that her No. 1 ranking was no fluke.
The top-seeded Incline freshman won the Division I-A Northern Region Championship at the Tahoe Donner Tennis Center this past Saturday, as she defeated Maggie Lee from South Tahoe, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, in a grueling, three-hour final.
The regional final match marked the third meeting of the season between Schrage and Lee, with Schrage winning two of three.
Schrage had to win four matches to take the title, including a particularly well-played match against senior teammate Ginetta Sagan in the quarterfinal round. Schrage won that match 6-4, 7-6, but Sagan was ahead in both sets before Schrage mounted clutch comebacks.
"I hated to see these two friends and teammates meet this early in the tournament," said Incline head coach Jim Giancola, "but that is how the draw worked out."
The doubles team of Incline senior Tara Lincoln and freshmen teammate Amanda Pretti, meanwhile, played into the semifinal round. They handily won their two matches on Friday before falling to a good South Tahoe team in Saturday's semis.
Lincoln and Pretti completed the tournament with a loss in the consolation round and wound up finishing fourth.
"They were a little disappointed, but finishing as the fourth-best doubles team in the North is a very good season for them," Giancola said.-
Incline's doubles teams of Sierra Cistone and Angelica Lucero and Kassidy Garland and Vivi Lucero were defeated in their first-round playoff matches, while Toby Felman defaulted her match.
"I am really proud of how much improvement each of these kids made over the course of the season and how well they competed in this tournament," Giancola said. "This new format (separating Division 1 and Division 1-A) clearly helped us, but their effort and their competitiveness took this team farther than anyone thought we would we go."
With her regional title, Schrage will carry a No. 1 seed from the North into the individual state finals, which will be contested at the Reno Tennis Center from Oct. 19-21. The team semifinals and finals will also be played at the Reno Tennis Center on Oct. 18-19.
The Incline girls as a team are the No. 2 seed from the North and will play The Meadows from Las Vegas on Oct. 18 at 4:30 p.m. in the second semifinal. South Tahoe will play Faith Lutheran in the first semifinal match.

Once again political correctness raises its ignorant head in the gun debate. Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Period. Where are the stories of the thousands of lives saved by responsible gun owners?
The Sandy Hook shooter was a product of liberal experimentation, part of a generation of young people on psychotropic drugs to correct one of the myriad number of made up psychosis. Let's not discipline our children, but rather put them on drugs so they behave properly.
The shooter did not use an AR15 semi auto rifle in the shooting. It was locked in the trunk of his car. He used handguns to shoot his victims. Yes it a tragedy when anyone is killed by a mentally ill person, or a criminal for that matter. But the liberals are politicizing this terrible incident to usurp the rights of legitimate gun owners by taking away their rifles. Lets get back to helping the mentally ill with proper treatment, not feeding them mind bending drugs that only exacerbate the problems.
Lets not repeat history by disarming the common people. It has never worked and never will. Just ask anyone from East Germany or Hungary or Cuba or North Korea.
I agree we should have reasonable safe sound gun control, but when we get caught up in an emotional hysteria, we do not solve the problem.
Does any rational thinking person believe that criminals will give up their guns willingly? I think not.

Orton named coach at Western Wyoming
Related Links
"It is with both sadness and excitement that we say goodbye to Coach Orton," said Seawolves head coach Rusty Osborne. "He has been an integral part of our success over the last three years. We will miss his contributions, both on the floor and in the community, and I personally will miss our day-to-day working relationship.
Osborne's top assistant since 2009, Orton helped UAA to a 64-27 record during his tenure, including consecutive NCAA Tournament Second Round berths in 2010-11 and 2011-12. He was also largely responsible for the recruitment of three Alaska high school players-of-the-year, 2012 Div. II Bulletin National Player of the Year Taylor Rohde, and numerous top junior-college and other prep standouts.
"I am very thankful to Dr. Steve Cobb and Coach Osborne for helping me get back into coaching after a season away," Orton said. "My time at UAA and with Seawolf basketball was very rewarding both personally and professionally. As I enter a new chapter I will certainly miss working with all the great people associated with Seawolf Athletics. I also want to thank the players for their efforts toward the success we have had both on and off the floor. I enjoyed working with great kids who will continue to keep Seawolf basketball at a high level of excellence and a group the fans can be proud of."
At WWCC, Orton inherits a Mustangs program that finished 23-9 last season, advancing to the NJCAA Region IX playoffs.
"We are genuinely excited that Coach Orton has the opportunity now to lead his own program and progress in his career," Osborne added. "He has shown the ability as not only a good strategic coach, but one who has represented us with class and professionalism throughout the State of Alaska. I have no doubt that he is going to be a success in all his future endeavors and bring these same attributes to Western Wyoming. I look forward to watching him from afar and helping him in any way possible."

An emotional saga came to a heartbreaking end for Goose Creek High School's football team and all of its supporters on Monday in Columbia.
The unbeaten Gators, ranked No. 1 in the state and as high as No. 11 in the country, were removed from the playoffs for the second time in a week for using an ineligible player. The South Carolina High School League Executive Committee voted 14-0 to uphold the league's original ruling last week. A mercy vote also went against the Gators, 12-2.
"We're all disappointed," said Gators defensive coordinator Chris Candor, who stayed at the school with the rest of the coaching staff and players on Monday. "It's been dramatic and outrageous, like something you'd see on a made-for-TV movie.
"This is such an unbelievable situation to find ourselves in. It's hard to imagine it. It's hard to think of it as really happening. It's like a bad dream to be honest with you."
The decision ends a week-long effort by GCHS Principal Jimmy Huskey, football coach Chuck Reedy and the school district to give the Gators a chance to defend their Class AAAA Div. II championship.
"Some people might have played their last down of football," senior fullback Rashard Alston said. "It's just hard."
At a press conference held Tuesday of this week, Reedy said he "begged the (SCHSL) committee to suspend me, fine me, fire me. But don't punish those kids. They've done nothing wrong. These seniors will never have another opportunity."
When asked about the executive committee, Reedy did not mince words: "They answer to nobody," he said. "They made a decision and we challenged it because it was wrong. We challenged them and they didn't like it. We beat them on Friday. We had no chance on Monday because they were going to put Goose Creek back in its place.
"Hell no we didn't get a fair hearing."
Huskey said the punishment handed out to GCHS did not make sense. "You've got to be able to use your common sense and good judgement, and make a good decision," he said. "We don't feel like this was the case in this situation."
The ordeal began Monday, Nov. 12, when Huskey was checking winter sports eligibility and discovered that a student transcript used at the beginning of football season was incomplete. It showed different information from what was originally available in August, and Huskey self reported the potential violation.
An extra year was added to the transcript, meaning the student-athlete in question, a special needs student on a non-diploma track, would have used up his eight semesters of athletic eligibility at the end of the 2011-12 school year.
A day later, Goose Creek was forced to forfeit its 48-7 playoff victory over Conway by SCHSL Commissioner Jerome Singleton.
With Goose Creek citing a hardship on that basis it was not knowingly trying to gain a competitive advantage, appeals to the SCHSL Executive Committee fell on deaf ears on Wednesday and the Berkeley County School District filed a legal action on Thursday.
The Joye Law Firm, representing the district pro bono, sought a temporary restraining order on Friday to prevent SCHSL from enforcing Wednesday's decision, and were successful.
Less than eight hours later, the Gators defeated Bluffton, 35-25, after Circuit Judge Roger Young granted them the TRO. Judge Young also ordered the Gators to reappear in front of the executive committee by Monday for another hearing on the student's eligibility.
On Monday, lawyers for the Gators argued that that eligibility should have begun in 2010 when the student-athlete first enrolled at Berkeley High School.
For 2008-09, the student did matriculate but did not physically attend Woodmont High School his freshman year while enrolled at the Generations Group Home, a home for abused boys.
This part of his transcript was not available originally and he was approved to play sports at Goose Creek.
The student-athlete, who was referred to as "John Doe" in proceedings, only played in five games for a total 17 snaps for the Gators this season, never entering a game Goose Creek wasn't winning by at least 41 points.
"He has done nothing to help Goose Creek win a football game," Reedy said, "but Goose Creek has given that young man something he's never had. We'd like to think we've made an impact in his life to make it better.
"That's all we tried to do, try to help a young man, not even knowing there was an issue with his eligibility."
But now, the Gators are forced to look ahead to 2013, while ninth-seeded Bluffton travels to No. 5 seed Northwestern for the state semifinals.
"Our kids are still champions because they weren't defeated on the field," Candor said.
Most of the GCHS coaches simply told the players, students and fans to hold their heads high.
"In the face of what we battled against, nobody quit," assistant head coach Mark Leposky said. "Our coaches didn't quit. Our administrators didn't quit. Our players didn't quit on or off the field. Obviously, Gator Pride is alive and well.
"Wherever we are in groups or individuals, we're very prideful of what we have accomplished and what we're going to accomplish in the future."
At Tuesday's press conference, Huskey said the Gators face $3,300 in fines for the 11 games the ineligible player dressed. When other fines are assessed, including travel costs for the executive committee, Huskey said the total cost – which will be paid in full by the football program – could be near $9,000.

the epitome of the all-perfect girl. she has the butt, the hair, and the guys. never leave your man around her, because she will snap him up. the guys are always surrounding her, not because she's beyond gorgeous, but because there's something about her that they can't define. everybody who meets her falls in love with her, and even if she has any enemies, they are people that don't matter anyway. the key to everything she has is her confidence, it lets her get away with anything. lakshmi is probably the most sexy and amazing person you will ever meet, and if you're an attractive guy, you better watch out, because you will end up falling for her.

The Lakshmi. It is a thinking process often used in the subject of mathematics. Preferably used in geometry. All that has to be done is to stare with intense focus and look at the problem with a passion for a loooong time until you find your answer. The Lakshmi is a time consuming process but worth it when you get the answer right... or not on your test. The thought process is often used in Hehs.
Marta: Ugh.. I could'nt figure out that problem on the math test, so I did The Lakshmi.

Gray was really sick- we tagged-teamed it actually, I was so sick and had finally fallen asleep and then you know that sound. I was up no matter how awful I felt and there I was comforting and cleaning and bathing. He called for me and I was there, and then some.
We both were so relieved when morning came. Look, Mommy! It's light out! He said so sincerely, thank you for taking such good care of me last night.
It's not always thank-less, I guess. Yet I'm stunned at the heart of a five year old boy.
He's the reason I became The Babywearer. He may be the third of four but he shines and is heard and I do believe he thinks he is number one. That shirt was one of a few treasures I brought home from a day of shopping in the city. He loves it, which means more to me than you know. No tag, super soft, The Beatles!, good collar, and nice sleeves. It's not too shirty. It's his favorite. And according to him, makes me the best mom ever. And then some.

He tried to do the right things, joining the military at 18, then working long, tasking years as a pipe fitter. When depression sabotaged his days, he got help. But Michael Delich got older. And he didn't plan.
Hawes honored for mental health work
Staff writer Jennifer Berry Hawes has been awarded the National Alliance on Mental Illnesses' NAMI S.C. Reporter of the Year 2013 award for her work covering the challenges facing people with mental illnesses.
She will speak at the Charleston area chapter's Nov. 11 meeting.
So came the day three years ago when a man considering him for a job was brutally honest: You're too old. Pipe fitting is, like much construction work, a job-to-job life. Delich worked on naval ships until the local base closed, then on private construction sites.
Do you need help?
Veterans struggling with mental health issues can call the Veterans Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255 or go to VeteransCrisisLine.net.
Those with housing problems can call the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' toll-free National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 1-877-424-3838 (1-877-4AID-VET). The VA also has launched a new hotline — 1-855-VA-WOMEN — to answer questions about resources available to women veterans.
At 55, he suddenly couldn't find a job, not a single one, not when the economy tanked and plenty of younger guys, ones who hadn't lost part of their hearing and didn't have back problems, pursued the same jobs.

Not married, with no children, his parents deceased, Delich had no place to turn. Nor was he a man to seek handouts. What little he had saved quickly vanished.

He lived out of his Jeep for a year. Then he sold the Jeep to survive.
Michael Delich, an Air Force and Navy veteran, became homeless.
Becoming lost
A friend mentioned an abandoned house, a small ranch in Goose Creek. It had no electricity, no running water, no furniture, nothing but a roof and brick walls to keep out the Lowcountry's storms and vicious summer sun.
Delich lived in the empty, silent space with only its infestation of spiders for company.
With no money or car, he stopped going to the local veterans' hospital and stopped taking his depression medication.
Mostly, he relied on two nearby churches that served twice-weekly free hot lunches and a food pantry that gave out canned goods. One neighbor brought him Filipino soup. Another left him water. Once in a while, another brought him pizza.
Still, he lost nearly 50 pounds. His hair grew gray and shaggy. He received no medical care; his health deteriorated.
"I felt lost," he recalls. "I felt totally lost."
This for a man who voluntarily signed up for the Air Force and went to Vietnam, then to Thailand at the war's end. He served four more years in the Navy working on its ships.
Yet, in the dark and silent house, those days seemed so very, very long ago.
One by one, as they rotted and throbbed, Delich pulled his own teeth, so many he can't recall the number. Twelve, maybe 14.
He'd take a cast net, tie it around the tooth and cast. Only three teeth remain.
And he began to drink, a lot when he could get it. Anything to avoid going back to the house.
Each night, alone in the darkness, he'd think: "I don't know how long I can do this."
Yet home it was, for 2½ years.
At one point, he found a broken recliner to sleep on. A neighbor let him plug an extension cord into a garage outlet for a working light bulb and a tiny heat source when temperatures dropped.
The cold was the worst of it. He'd fill a bucket from a neighbor's spigot and wash in the abandoned house's garage.
In winters, the water iced a frosty path along his withering skin.
He no longer felt human, no longer part of the civilized Lowcountry that carried on without him.
When the depression returned to claim him, Delich couldn't even move beneath its suffocating darkness.
Why bother?
"I would just stare at the wall, at the ceiling, whatever there was to stare at," he recalls. "I just didn't care anymore."
Then, a bank came to claim the house.
Delich would have to leave.
Luckily, he had two friends who checked in on him during all that time, including Steve Jeffries. Soon after the bank came, Jeffries found his fellow veteran friend sleeping in the back of his pick-up truck.
On Sept. 17, Jeffries loaded the withering man into his car and drove him to the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center.
Delich could barely function. As the medical center staff assessed him, his thoughts felt jumbled and incoherent, the answer to their questions slipping from his mind's grasp, lost and unhealthy as he had become.
Helping hands
At the VA medical center, Delich found help.
Dr. Elizabeth Call put him back on his depression medication, and he began therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, which had plagued him since those early days in Vietnam and Thailand.
Whatever happened there, Delich doesn't want to talk about it today.
"It never went away," he says softly.
He also joined a substance-abuse program to grapple with the alcohol he turned to when he became homeless.
And on Sept. 30, a VA staffer called him: We have a place for you to live.
He now shares a townhouse in North Charleston with three other veterans in similar situations. He has a shower, electricity, a toilet, a refrigerator, a bed. He has a home.
"I was speechless. Overnight, it was like civilized living again," he says.
See the redo?
One recent day, Delich ambled down the VA's winding hallways after a substance-abuse meeting, greeting friends, carrying a torn up black bag with his things.
Yet he felt good.
He has regained nearly 10 pounds. And in coming months the VA will pay for him to get his remaining teeth pulled, then replaced with new ones.
He dreams of eating steak and pecan pie after that.
"Want to see the redo?" he joked, chuckling merrily.
Then he paused, noting out loud that he just laughed.
"I didn't having anything to laugh about for 2½ years."
He also was drained on this day from a morning spent at a PTSD screening where he had to recall memories he long has tried to stuff away and forget.
He rested a bit, then went to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. His life these days revolves around the public bus schedule and his various recovery meetings. He hangs out at a coffee shop to keep clear of trouble.
"I feel great because I have hope," Delich says. "Before, I wouldn't even get out of bed in the morning. There was no point."
Mostly, he wants to get into job training so he can find a new vocation, one that pays the bills, one that lets him save a bit. He's a hard worker, a skilled journeymen pipe fitter. He's a man with skills to offer, he insists.
This time, he'll plan ahead for getting older.
"Me, I got blind-sided. All I did was get up and go to work," he says. "My big mistake was to never set a goal or have a plan for when I was 55 or 60, and it bit me in the butt."
A new look
Delich arrived at the Stand Down Against Homelessness event Thursday morning after a journey by bus and now his bicycle. Mostly, he hopes to get a new duffel bag. He carries his ripped up black bag.
A haircut wouldn't hurt either.
The event is packed with 1,000 other local residents who are homeless or nearly so. Last year, he saw the line and left.
This year, he has hope enough to wait.
He grabs a cup of black coffee and joins the haircut line. Soon, Clarence Bryant drapes a smock around him and grabs a shaver. Salt-and-pepper tufts drift to the ground like memories fading softly with time.
The luxury sends Delich's eyes rolling back. He smiles dreamily.
So begins a visual transformation that mirrors all that has just happened in his life.
The shaggy hairdo gone, his face shaven smooth, a woman hollers, "Look, he's been hiding all that handsome!"
Delich twitches with a smile, pretending he didn't hear, that he isn't incredibly pleased.
Soon, he heads out on his bike, dapper with the new cut, his new duffel bag stuffed with a jacket, clothes and food.
He needs to hurry. He's scheduled to start a new PTSD medication as part of a clinical trial at the VA.
You're lost
Recently, Delich went back to the abandoned house. It was barred shut.
As he stood there, looking at his old life, his thoughts filled with those dark and lonely nights.
He thought of how inhuman he had felt.
"Everybody's got to have a home," he says. "Without it you're lost. That's what it felt like for the past 2½ years. I was lost."
Now, Michael Delich has been found.

Calling off lawyers will help Marple's reputation
January 12, 2013
If former West Virginia state school Superintendent Jorea Marple has been serious in previous statements that doing good things for children is a priority for her, she will call off her attorneys....
Sandpiper - "An at will employee can be fired for no reason or any reason and no explanation to the fired employee is required."
I'm no lawyer but one easily checked source (Wikipedia ; At-will employment) states - "Under the public policy exception, an employer may not fire an employee if it would violate the state's public policy doctrine or a state or federal statute. . . . This includes retaliating against an employee for performing an action that complies with public policy (such as informing the authorities of an illegal activity ...." It indicates West Virginia has such policy. This "may" apply if the accusation of contract irregularities is still a part of the plaintiff's claims, which was not mentioned above, leaving it to question.

"As far as Marple's reputation goes, some of the very state board members who voted to fire her went out of their way to commend her. In other words, some board members feared that Marple did not see eye to eye with them on how to improve public schools." "Feared" is an odd choice of words! But why the secrecy? Exactly what improvements did the current WV BOE want done that clashed so much with what Dr. Marple was doing?
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"They were not comfortable with Marple, so they made a change. It is that simple." Seems the public is not comfortable with the way the current WV BOE handled this mess – it is that simple! No, it is not in the best interest of the WV school system and students if funds that are greatly needed to be put into the schools must be spent to fight a lawsuit but was it in the best interest of the WV schools and students to fire an employee in a secret meeting; a person who admittedly was doing a good job, was making improvements and seemed to be turning the school system around? Surely, the WV board considered that a lawsuit might be brought against them before they made their surprising unannounced decision to fire Dr. Marple? They must have considered that this possible response to their action would not be good for the school system and students but they did it anyway. "As far as Marple's reputation goes, some of the very state board members who voted to fire her went out of thei

An at will employee can be fired for no reason or any reason and no explanation to the fired employee is required. In fact, providing an explanation potentially opens the door for the fired employee to challenge the basis of the firing. Marple was an at will employee. She will be asking for her job back and, failing that (and that will not happen as that is not a remedy courts grant in these type of cases), she'll be asking for a hearing to permit her lawyers to examine the Board members. And that's what she wants, to make a stink, to hang the dirty political wash for all to smell and see.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Wasn't there a question concerning the awarding of contracts involved ? Has that been dismissed officially, or is there a separate investigation into that ? If not, it might be better to endorse the lawsuit and hope that "if" there were ulterior motives, it will all come out in the wash. I tend not to put as much weight on what people say as what they "do". The fact that the board members who voted to fire her then said nice things about her and offered other reasons could simply be CYA. The cost argument here "Best Interests" smacks a bit of the tired old liberal plaint "think of the children". What price justice ?

Lewis Hun ('10) | McNair Scholar, Biology
Graduate Research Assistant, University of Arizona
B.S. in Biology, 2010, Abilene Christian University
Lewis Hun has ambitions to one day be a researcher and a college professor. A love of science motivates him, but participation in ACU's McNair Scholars Program provided the nuts and bolts of his preparation.
Lewis is working as a graduate research assistant at the University of Arizona, after earning a degree in biology from ACU in December 2010. While at ACU, Lewis was one of multiple students who took advantage of the McNair Scholars Program and the opportunities it afforded.
Researching mosquitos
Lewis has concentrated his research both at ACU and at the University of Arizona on new strategies for controlling mosquitos and the diseases they transmit.
While an undergraduate at ACU, Lewis was able to present his work at the national level. Along the way, he developed relationships with other research-minded students and colleagues.
"The reason that I am here today is because of the support I received through the McNair Program," Lewis says. "McNair not only provided me with the experience to present my work at a national level, but also helped me achieve my goal by providing me the opportunity to receive mentorship and advice from McNair staff members."
A difficult journey
Today, Lewis is a success story and a testament to the benefits to be gained through participation in the McNair Program - but his journey has not been easy. A native Cambodian, Lewis struggled with his transition to the United States. His first-year struggles at ACU were reflected in his grades. But Lewis is persistent.
As he began to take more in-depth biology classes and enrolled in the McNair Scholars Program, he began to flourish. His once low freshman GPA, climbed to a 3.8 his senior year.
While at the University of Arizona, he has been the recipient of two graduate student travel awards from the Institute of the Environment and the Center for Insect Science.
"My undergraduate education in the competitive atmosphere at Abilene Christian University has enabled me, not to merely reiterate ideas stated by my professors but to challenge some of my scientific interests," he says. "Having succeeded in my research, employing the knowledge from different fields of biology, I feel well prepared for the further challenging studies and research in the fields of molecular genetics, as well as working toward my goal."

The 5 Craziest Things People Are Doing With Dead Animals
#2. Jewelry/Clothing
Picture this: You move to California to start your new life as a medium who speaks to the dead. One day, while shopping for gluten-free gluten at Trader Joe's, you bump into a crazy-haired Englishwoman. One thing leads to another, and "my husband, the insane nerd loser millionaire" this and "Johnny Depp" that, and suddenly it dawns on you that you're speaking to Helena Bonham Carter.
"This is a picture of me from that movie where I played a crazy-haired eccentric."
The next thing you know, she's inviting you over for her anniversary party, to be held inside Vincent Price's mausoleum. Great. BUT WHAT WILL YOU WEAR?!
This is something that's happened to all of us, but now, with the growing field of dead stuff jewelry and clothing, you'll always look your best when partying with the Burtons.
Why not a tasteful jacket from Alexander McQueen? Something that says, "Let's go out dancing, then out to a fine restaurant, and then home, where I will murder you."
Some pieces make more subtle use of animal remains, but subtlety won't get you on top of Lady Gaga's head, like this crafty rat headdress with bedazzled tail crafted from glitter-dusted childhood trauma:
Only two rats, because more would be distasteful.
#1. Clones
Of course, sometimes the best thing to do with someone or something you've lost is to never let them die. Ever. That's just what Bernann McKinney was thinking in 2006 when her pit bull, Booger, died of cancer. (Initial reports that he died of embarrassment after someone explained his name to him have proven false.) Y'see, McKinney was a big fan of Booger because he once saved her life from a vicious dog attack. In fairness to her canine attacker, McKinney had probably tried to name him Snotty, Puke, or Sir Mucus before the assault.
"Seriously, lady. I'd prefer something like 'Champ' or 'Dodger.'"
Anyway, McKinney sent some of Booger's cells and $50,000 off to South Korean scientists, who produced the first commercially cloned offspring in 2009. You might think that's a little disturbing, but that's probably because you haven't heard McKinney explain her thought process:
"I believe that Booger was an angel that God rented out to me for a short period of time ... And he knew I would be lost without him, so he sent me some more. He sent me five more mini-Boogers."
Let's break that down. God wanted McKinney to have Booger for a short time. I'm guessing that's why he smote Booger with cancer -- because he had a plan that McKinney only deserved a temporary angel. Furthermore, God knew McKinney would be lost without an angel, which I guess is further support for the smiting. Next, God sent McKinney more Boogers. Except he didn't. Even if there is a God creating canine angels in his kingdom, these cloned dogs clearly had nothing to do with that. These weren't divine acts of creation, but expensive imported products. Lastly, "mini-Boogers" is a really gross phrase. Stop it.
But hey. To each his own. McKinney converted one cancer-ridden dead dog into five new puppies with the exact same genetic material, so I'm guessing that's like five soon-to-be-cancer-ridden dead dogs.

Gennady Golovkin finally gets high-end opponent as Canelo's star fades
Gennady Golovkin, the power-punching middleweight champion who has been unsuccessfully chasing a high-end opponent, finally has one. This one, though, will require some explanation.
Canelo Alvarez, the linear middleweight champion, decided last month that he still isn't comfortable at the weight and wants to wait until the fall of 2017 to fight Golovkin.
Golovkin promoter Tom Loeffler thought he had a deal with British promoter Eddie Hearn for a bout with Chris Eubank Jr., but Hearn couldn't finalize a deal with Eubank.
But Hearn suggested that unbeaten welterweight champion Kell Brook might take the fight. Loeffler told him to try and two days later, the sides reached a contract.
So on Sept. 10 at the O2 Arena in London, Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) will defend his IBF-WBA-WBC middleweight belts against Brook (36-0, 25 KOs), in a bout that will be televised in the U.S. on HBO.
Brook deserves huge credit for stepping up to the challenge of the hard-hitting Golovkin, who is one of the elite fighters in the world.
He was willing to do what Alvarez, who has been competing as at least a super welterweight since 2010, was not.
Now Brook will get the same chance.
What Brock Lesnar's return means for himself and the UFC
LAS VEGAS – Almost five years have passed since Brock Lesnar last walked out of the Octagon – five years in which he, the sport and the UFC have changed immeasurably.
Lesnar retired from mixed martial arts after getting knocked out by Alistair Overeem at UFC 141, his second straight knockout loss. Diverticulitis robbed him of the ability to train and prepare properly and against Overeem, he was a shell of the brute who'd won the heavyweight title in his fourth pro fight by stopping the legendary Randy Couture.
When his body wouldn't allow him to do what he loved to do, at least not at the sport's highest level, Lesnar walked away. He did what he had to do to feed his family, and so he accepted an offer from the WWE to once again become a professional wrestler.
Instantly, he was the biggest star in Vince McMahon's universe. It was a part-time gig that allowed him to greatly reduce his travel while also increasing his paycheck. It's not a bad life if you can get it: Work less and be paid more.
When he finally felt he was fully healthy, thoughts of returning to the UFC bubbled up because nothing else could deliver that sense of satisfaction for him.
Top 10 knockouts since UFC 100Kevin Iole at Cagewriter 2 mths ago
Seeing an amazing knockout at a UFC fight is the easy part. The hard part is picking between them.
There were literally dozens of bouts that could be chosen for the 10 best knockouts since UFC 100.
I pared the list down to 25 before making the final 10. Undoubtedly, you're not going to agree with my picks. That's fine, because there is an argument to be made for many more other than the ones I chose.
Here are my top 10:
10. Thiago Santos KO1 Steve Bosse, UFC Fight Night 70 – This fight ended in just 29 seconds and was as definitive of a finish as you'll ever see.
Bosse was moving forward, and preparing to throw a punch. Santos braced on his right leg and caught Bosse with a perfectly placed kick to the head, knocking the Canadian cold. The shin landed right on the jaw and Bosse never knew what hit him.
9. Thomas Almeida KO2 Brad Pickett, UFC 189 – Pickett attempted a flying knee on Almeida, who saw it coming and danced out of the way. Seconds later, Almeida tried his own and the fight soon ended.
It was as shocking of a finish as any on this list.
UFC 200: Is Jon Jones still the same dominant fighter of old?
LAS VEGAS – The biggest fight on the biggest card of the UFC's biggest week also showcases its biggest question mark.
Interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will bid to regain his championship Saturday when he meets champ Daniel Cormier in a title unification bout in the main event of UFC 200 at T-Mobile Arena in a fight that should go a long way to answering two of the sport's most pressing questions:
• Is Jones still the dominant athlete he was from 2011 to 2015, when he won the world title, defeated six current, former or future UFC champions and went 9-0 in one of the great runs ever?
• Has Jones finally solved his turbulent personal life and fixed the issues that seemed to be the only thing that could threaten to end his reign as MMA's finest fighter?
It is somehow appropriate that Jones is in the main event on this card, which will be the culmination of a wild 72 hours in which the UFC will stage 33 bouts, including five title fights, and will feature 11 current or former champions.
With all due respect to Fedor Emelianenko, Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre, there has never been a champion as talented, accomplished and as seemingly unbeatable as Jones.
We'll see.
Yahoo Sports' Top 10: Best fighters since UFC 100
(Editor's note: Yahoo Sports will be rolling out a new list of its favorite moments and figures each weekday i n anticipation of UFC 200. First up: Top 10 best fighters.)
In the nearly seven years since UFC 100 on July 11, 2009, there have been 227 events held and hundreds of fighters have fought at least one time.
There remains little doubt, however, about the greatest among them.
Jon Jones fought at UFC 100 and will meet Daniel Cormier on July 9 in the main event of UFC 200 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the undisputed light heavyweight title.
Jones had an eventful six-plus years, as he moved up the rankings, feuded with a former teammate who had been a mentor, was blamed for the first cancelation of an event in UFC history, failed a drug test, spent time in jail, lost his major corporate sponsor, was stripped of his world title and brawled with Cormier in the lobby of a hotel following a news conference.
What's most remarkable about all that is that the controversy had no impact upon his performance in the Octagon. Since UFC 100 and heading into his bout next month against Cormier, Jones had 14 bouts.
Here is my list, from 10 to 1, of the greatest fighters since UFC 100:
Travis Browne believes he should get title shot if he beats Cain Velasquez
During International Fight Week in Las Vegas next month, the UFC is putting on four world title bouts and one interim title match.
In Travis Browne's mind, though, it should be five title bouts. That's because the 6-foot-7 Hawaiian sees his match with Cain Velasquez, which will kick off the main card of UFC 200 on July 9 at T-Mobile Arena, as a title fight.
Browne has been near the top of the heavyweight division for years, but hasn't quite earned that coveted shot yet despite a 9-3-1 UFC mark and eight finishes.
The one failing Browne has had in a division where the title flips hands with regularity is losing at the wrong time.
Most significantly, he was routed by Fabricio Werdum on April 19, 2014, in a title eliminator bout, losing a stunningly wide unanimous decision. He was a 2-to-1 favorite to beat Werdum, but he lost and Werdum went on to capture the title.
But he was an underdog to Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett and won both of those impressively.
Browne gives little credence to that. The competition is elite, and closely matched. And he said it is difficult for an outsider to fully comprehend what goes into getting ready to fight a world-class opponent.
Shawn Porter ready to seize spotlight after years of being 'the other guy'
Shawn Porter is one of the great guys in boxing, a genuine and unassuming man who is as likeable as he is talented. He was an extraordinary amateur, winning 276 of 290 fights and just missed out on making the U.S. Olympic boxing team.
As a pro, he's won a world title and is 26-1-1, and has the kind of entertaining style that fans love.
Porter outboxed and outhustled Adrien Broner in his last outing, a unanimous decision victory in Las Vegas that was televised by NBC, but post-fight, the story was more about Broner's failings than Porter's abilities.
A win on Saturday in his CBS-televised bout against Keith Thurman, though, will change things dramatically.
Porter will go from being the other guy to the guy if he hands the unbeaten Thurman his first defeat.
They meet on Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for Thurman's WBA belt in a bout that boxing fans have hotly anticipated for the better part of the last year.
They will meet in the first bout televised in primetime on CBS since Muhammad Ali fought Leon Spinks in 1978.
Porter is always highly motivated regardless of external forces, but following Ali has lit a fire under him.
Cat Zingano eager for return after 'humbling' Ronda Rousey loss, ensuing time away
The question for Cat Zingano was easy: Why have you been away from competition for so long? The answer, perhaps not unexpectedly, was hard.
Zingano hasn't fought since she submitted to a Ronda Rousey arm bar at UFC 184 on Feb. 28, 2015, in just 14 seconds at the height of Rousey-Mania.
A decade-long dream of making it to the top, as well as years of sweat, suffering and sacrifice went poof in about the time it takes to get from the bed to the toaster in the morning.
She hasn't been seen since, though she'll return to take on Julianna Peña on July 9 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in the biggest show of the year and, quite possibly, in MMA history.
The big stage will be a prime opportunity for Zingano to make amends, to remind folks who may have forgotten that she has finished both current champion Miesha Tate and Amanda Nunes, who will fight for the bantamweight title on the loaded UFC 200 main card.
Zingano submitted Tate in 2013 and Nunes in 2014, both in the third round, and took that momentum, as well as an undefeated record, into the bout with Rousey.
But before she could do any of that, she needed to make sure she sorted her personal life out.
Canelo and Triple-G agree to fight, but you're going to have to wait for itKevin Iole at Boxing 3 mths ago
Promoters Oscar De La Hoya and Tom Loeffler met in Los Angeles at the Golden Boy Promotions offices on Wednesday to discuss putting together the long-awaited title fight between linear middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and WBA/WBC/IBF champion Gennady Golovkin.
No deal was signed, though De La Hoya, who promotes Alvarez, tweeted following the meeting that the promoters had agreed verbally for Alvarez and Golovkin in September 2017.
On Tuesday, Tom Loeffler came to @GoldenBoyBoxing's offices and we agreed that the mega fight between @canelo and GGG would occur next fall
Fans have been clamoring for the fight for nearly a year, but the drumbeat picked up intensity on Nov. 21 after Alvarez defeated Miguel Cotto to win the WBC and linear middleweight belts.
But Loeffler, who promotes Golovkin, stressed there is still no deal.
The 15-month delay of pushing the bout to 2017 will allow Alvarez to get comfortable fighting as a fully fledged middleweight and to help Golovkin build his name.
Richard Schaefer creates Ringstar Sports, back in promotional businessKevin Iole at Boxing 3 mths ago
After an 18-month absence, Richard Schaefer is back in the business of promoting boxing.
The former Golden Boy CEO, who bitterly split with the company in January 2015, created a company he called Ringstar Sports and is in the process of building a staff and seeking out fighters.
A prominent Swiss banker, Schaefer joined forces with Oscar De La Hoya in 2000 to build Golden Boy Promotions. He eventually became the CEO of the company and led it to become one of the major players in the business.
He parted ways with Golden Boy last year and, as part of a confidential settlement that ended a lawsuit between the sides, he remained out of boxing for 18 months before starting Ringstar.
Schaefer has no staff or fighters currently under contract. He said not only is he open to working once again with Al Haymon, the powerful boxing manager who created the Premier Boxing Champions, but he expects to have substantive talks with him soon.

The following Marshall University press release highlights Dr. Philippe Georgel's recent participation in the 20th International Analytical Ultracentrifugation Conference. In addition to teaching Biological Sciences at the main Marshall campus, Dr. Georgel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. Dr. Georgel researches in two research clusters: Cancer Biology and Neuroscience and Developmental Biology.
Huntington, W.Va. – Dr. Philippe Georgel, a professor of biological sciences at Marshall University, recently traveled to San Antonio to present his research at the 20th International Analytical Ultracentrifugation Conference.
The biennial conference is focused on research done using a specific laboratory technique to characterize the size, shape and interactions of molecules and macromolecules in solutions. Analytical ultracentrifugation is widely used in molecular biology, biochemistry and polymer science.
Georgel studies the effects of chromatin—the combination of DNA and proteins that make up the contents of the nucleus of a cell—on nuclear functions. His conference presentation focused on his use of a new method called Quantitative Agarose Gel Electrophoresis, or QAGE. QAGE, allows for analysis of structure and composition of nucleo-protein complexes, and is complementary to the use of analytical ultracentrifugation.
The research Georgel presented was a collaborative effort among his group at Marshall; Dr. James Denvir, associate professor of biochemistry and microbiology at the university's Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine; and Dr. Stuart Lindsay and Dr. Qiang Fu from Arizona State University.
Georgel has already been invited back to present at the 2014 conference, which will be held in Japan.
For more information, contact Georgel at email@example.com or 304-696-3965.

It takes a special kind of talent to defuse death with laughter.
Luckily for anyone seeking solace from the nervous terror of the past week, that rare gift is on full display in Sarah Ruhl's play "The Clean House," an absorbing morality tale in which the power of humor transcends the horror of sickness and suffering.
The play, starring the effusive Victoria Perez as a Brazilian maid in search of the perfect joke, opened Friday night in the Road Less Traveled Theatre just as the great national drama playing out in Boston reached its harrowing conclusion.
The lights went up shortly after 7:30 p.m., just after news of the young suspect's apprehension made its way onto the smartphone screens of audience members. But from the very first moment, Perez banished any thoughts of terrorism with a comic feat of a type I've never before seen on a stage. That is, Perez delivered a long and involved joke entirely in Portuguese, which the majority of the audience could not understand, and made us all howl with laughter.
With that opening salvo, Ruhl proves something important about the craving for humor in the human psyche – an almost genetic desire to laugh even if we can't quite grasp the punch line. Perez's character, an unhappy live-in maid for a humorless doctor (Tina Rausa) and her free-spirited surgeon husband (Peter Palmisano), moved to the United States after her parents' deaths.
Matilde's mother, as Perez relates in a doleful and yet absurdly funny anecdote, died after listening to a joke that her father had lovingly constructed over the course of a year. Her father, distraught at his wife's untimely demise, soon killed himself.
That left Matilde with no one to laugh at her own jokes. So she picked up and moved to the States, only to find herself listlessly toiling away in the chilly, modernist house of a humorless doctor. The situation cannot last, and doesn't. We soon meet the doctor's neurotic sister Virginia (Margaret Massman, a hilarious ball of nerves), who surreptitiously cleans the doctor's house in Matilde's place while forming a close friendship with the comedy-obsessed maid.
The plot thickens after Palmisano's character reveals his infidelity – told in a purposely ridiculous series of vignettes set to operatic music and augmented with cheeky narrative supertitles – with one of his ailing patients (Mary McMahon).
Director Derek Campbell's campy approach to the production is in perfect sync with the often tongue-in-cheek nature of Ruhl's script, which blurs the traditional boundaries between time, place and character to make the piece feel like a living New Yorker cartoon, only funnier.
That's helped by Lynne Koscielniak's pristine set, Katie Menke's clever sound design and John Rickus' sensitive lighting. One scene, in which Rausa's character looks on skeptically as Matilde folds one of her husband's shirts into a sloppy, burrito-like shape, is a exemplary execution of one of Ruhl's many simple but effective visual gags.
Ruhl's approach is uncommonly smart and streamlined. Her use of a common reference point like domestic help, already freighted with associations in the public mind, helps her avoid the tricky and often didactic work of exposition. That allows the lighthearted absurdity of the plot to play out against a serious backdrop, creating an ideal fusion of comedy and meaning.
At one point near the start of the second act, Massman's neurotic character – the ironic voice of reason in this whole madcap affair – laments modern society's tendency toward isolation.
"Now, we are all alone in our separate houses," she says, "And it is terrible."
After a week of constant anxiety, as many of us sat in our own separate houses flipping between CNN and Twitter, a visit to the communal healing space of theater is the ideal prescription. At times like this, it is an immeasurable help to sit in a small room with a hundred or so other people, each of us so eager to lose ourselves in a flight of fantasy and laughter. As a balm for this week's national trauma, and much more besides, "The Clean House" delivers.

The actress, 40, kicked off Friday night at CAA's pre-Golden Globes party at the Buffalo Club in Santa Monica. There, she ran into rumored former flame Bradley Cooper, with whom she shared a brief hug.
Aniston spent much of the evening chatting with Gerard Butler, her costar in The Bounty Hunter, due out in March.
"Jen looked amazing in a short, black dress," says one observer. "She was also in a great mood, a social butterfly and mingled for almost three hours. … Gerard entertained Jen, and Jen kept giggling like she always does with Gerard."
Aniston – all smiles and as bubbly as ever – spent quality time with Butler on Sunday night, too, as they attended the Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton, joining David Arquette and Courteney Cox for much of the evening.
At one point during the party, another ex-boyfriend, Tate Donovan, came over to say hello, and Aniston seemed thrilled to see him. "Tate! How are you!?" she cried.
Butler was last seen chatting up Avatar's Zoe Saldana in the valet line.
