OLEAN – By a couple of different measures St. Bonaventure could have been on its back looking up at Siena in the Reilly Center on Tuesday night.
The Bonnies couldn't shoot it from the perimeter and infrequently showed the patience necessary to take inside aim at the Saints 2-3 zone. What's more, Siena controlled the backboards most of the night on the strength of one of the nation's best, senior forward O.D. Anosike.
But when other facets of their game fall short the Bonnies often have their core quality to fall back on. Coach Mark Schmidt's teams typically play solid defense and defense was their salvation in a 58-43 victory in the nationally televised 9 p.m. start.
Bona junior guard Charlon Kloof made life miserable for Siena's Evan Hymes, the Saints leading scorer. Hymes managed just five points, nine under his average, and was saddled with six of Siena's 17 turnovers while playing the point in the absence of injured Rakeen Brookins. Kloof's effort was vital to the cause since the Bonnies (5-2) made just eight second-half field goals and barely shot 35 percent on the night while going 2 of 20 from behind the arc.
Demitrius Conger topped the Bonnies with 14 points while Marquise Simmons netted 12 to go with 10 rebounds, and Chris Johnson 10 points. Forward Trenity Burdine scored 16 points for Siena, which managed just one field goal the last 8:08. Anosike, the national leader in double-doubles, fell short with seven points and 14 boards.
Bona retained the Franciscan Cup with the victory and ended a streak of five straight games decided by five points or fewer.
"Great defensive team," Siena coach Mitch Buonaguro said of the Bonnies. "Their defense was absolutely terrific. They played us well, they played a little match-up (zone) and we knew that. We knew going in they're a good defensive team."
Kloof arrived at Bona last season relishing the defensive part of the game.
The native of Suriname said he yearned to play in the United States because that's where the world's best young guards reside and he relished the opportunity to of meet up with them.
"It's always a challenge to play against all these great guards," Kloof said. "The coaches and my teammates believe in me that I can slow the player down. I enjoy it."
"I thought Charlon did a tremendous job {against Hymes}," Schmidt said. "Not just him, it was a team thing, but we wanted to really pressure him, control him, corral him in ball screens and I thought Charlon did a great job with that."
Momentum Bona had built at the end of the first half (it led 33-26) disappeared in a rush. Siena started the half with seven straight points, drawing even at 33, before two Kloof free throws had the Bonnies back on top at the first media timeout. Bona missed its first three shots, two of them from behind the arc.
Their first field goal came with 14:40 remaining as Conger yanked down a rebound and wove his way down the floor for a layup.
As was the case in the first half, penetration and defense was Bona's remedy to its long-range misfires. Kloof drove for a basket and soon after jammed off a Jordan Gathers steal that prompted Buonaguro to burn a timeout with Bona ahead 43-38 and 12:01 remaining.
Siena had just one field goal in the last eight minutes.
"You want to make that the staple," Schmidt said. "We have to defend, we have to rebound, we have to take care of the basketball. We outscored Buffalo, we got lucky, but we're not going to do that every night. Defense is the staple."

Many a mother has crept into her infant's room and listened anxiously to hear if her child is still breathing.
Unfortunately, moms and dads still live with the fear of losing their babies to an unknown but deadly killer now known as Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome, formerly called SIDS. According to the CJ Foundation for SIDS, 2,226 infants died in 2009, which is the most recent data available.
The foundation was established by a couple whose daughter died from the syndrome in 1993. SUIDS is the leading cause of death among infants age 1 month to 1 year, according to the foundation, which has raised millions of dollars for research to find a cure.

Zumba Fitness instructors Jen Burgmeier (left) and Joanna Jennings lead a class at the Northern Blair County Recreation Center.
Trying to stop the killer and raise awareness among parents is also the goal of the Blair County Respiratory Disease Society, and one way to do both is to host events like this Saturday's "Que Te Mueve?'' Zumba-thon. The event is a fitness class featuring the popular Zumba dance workout method that participants will pay a $25 donation to take part in, said Rachel Derby, the respiratory disease society's executive director.
"Que Te Mueve,'' which means "What moves you?'' in Spanish, has become a popular theme among Zumba enthusiasts. Derby thought it fit well with the concept of trying to fight a killer like SUIDS.
"What moves you? What could be more inspiring than to try to help save a child's life?,'' she asked.

What: "Qu Te Mueve?" Zumbathon to benefit Cribs for Kids
When: 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, registration is at 8 a.m.
Where: Fiore Blue Building, 5523 Trevanian Ave., behind Fiore True Value
Details: For more information or to register, call the Respiratory Disease Society at 944-8222

The fundraiser is one way to educate parents about the many aspects of SUIDS, including a growing concern about a popular trend among some parents to sleep with their newborns, Derby said. Proceeds from the event will go to the society's "Cribs for Kids'' program, which includes parent education about the syndrome and pack-and-play cribs which are portable and can be placed beside parents' beds, she said.
The trend for parents to sleep with infants can have deadly consequences, Derby said. Sleeping parents, even if they're light sleepers, can easily roll over on a baby without realizing it. Babies can be easily suffocated when trapped between a sleeping parent and the bedclothes, she said.
"A lot of parents think if you have the baby in the bed with them, that it's a really great idea, that you don't really put the baby at great risk,'' she said. "Unfortunately, if something does happen it's something you can never take back. It's real.''
Joanna Jennings is one of the Zumba instructors who will lead the participants in the Zumbathon. She'll be joined by Jen Burgmeier of Galactic Ice, Tim Settle of Pro Care and independent instructor Robin Shriver for the workout for charity.
Jennings, who is director of student support at Grier School in Tyrone, has been teaching Zumba classes at the Northern Blair Recreation Center in Tipton since last November when she received her certification. She said she has students in her classes from age 10 to 70, mostly women but a few men, and they all love Zumba, which was developed by Alberto "Beto'' Perez in Colombia, South America. It's a mix of dance and aerobics set to primarily Latin music, but Jennings said she does her own blend of Indian music, Latin rhythms and other international music.
The women burn about 800 calories during the hour-long class, so it is fast-paced but not too difficult for even older people to keep up once they learn the steps, Jennings said.
"The class is so comfortable and so laid back that the older women don't think anything of marching right through the moves,'' she said. "The music is so uplifting that if you go in there feeling sorry for yourself, you find yourself leaving feeling much better. It's almost addictive.''

Trucking regulations can be taken too far
January 12, 2013
Editor: We all drive the highway and byways here in West Virginia every day, but when we drive on the interstate or truck routes we become annoyed by the fact we are being held up or being passed on......
This time I actually agree with you Pure. I drove a tractor-trailer for many years. The "four wheelers" expect an 80,000 lb vehicle to stop on a dime and no matter how seasoned the driver is that is just not going to happen. And for those who don't realize it, if you cannot see both of the trucks side mirrors when you are following the truckdriver cannot see you either. You are following too close. And those signs at traffic lights that say "stop here on red", they are put there to allow tractor trailers to make wide turns. So when you choose not to follow directions, be prepared to back up. And believe it or not we are not out to endanger anybody. Most of us have families at home waiting for us to return safely. We cannot so this without the cooperation and understanding of all drivers. Once in a while when you sit down for a meal think about how that food managed to get to your table. And be thankful.......

As the Sabres stood around and watched the Montreal Canadiens dominate, it became clear Buffalo's players had finally realized this season was over.
"It's sure what it looked like, didn't it?" defenseman Tyler Myers said Thursday after a 5-1 fiasco. "It was the worst effort the Buffalo Sabres have put on the ice since I've been a part of it."
The Sabres' standings-crushing loss in Winnipeg on Tuesday made it nearly impossible for them to reach the playoffs, and they played like it against the Habs.
"It was a terrible game by us," center Cody Hodgson said. "It's not one person. It's the team collectively that needs to improve."
The question after Thursday's lack of effort is whether they have it in them for the final seven games. Exhibit A will be presented Saturday during a matinee against Philadelphia in First Niagara Center.
"It's just unacceptable," rookie Brian Flynn said. "Guys need to take a look in the mirror, show up and get back to work. It's what being professional is. You've got to expect to compete and bring everything you have every night. It just wasn't there."
Though a four-goal margin of victory usually speaks volumes, it failed to reflect the wide chasm that separated the teams. Montreal outshot the Sabres, 42-15. The Canadiens, already holding a 2-0 lead, began the second period with 11-1 shot run in the opening 6:23, and they took 14 of the opening 16.
"We got our butts kicked," said goaltender Ryan Miller, who stopped 28 of 32 shots through 40 minutes and mercifully was pulled for the final 20. "I was just trying to keep it close, wait for us to snap out of it. It didn't quite come around."
The line of Hodgson and wingers Thomas Vanek and Marcus Foligno was on the ice for both Montreal goals in the opening period, setting the tone for a long night for Buffalo's marquee players.
"We didn't have enough effort," interim coach Ron Rolston said. "We didn't have enough players going. We had too many passengers.
"We only had a couple guys, and they were some of our younger guys out there making plays. Again, we go back to your best players better be your best players. If they're not, you have no chance of winning the hockey game."
Montreal skated like a postseason position was on the line. It was. The Habs officially clinched a playoff spot and moved into first place in the Northeast Division. The Sabres are in last.
"We flat-out got outworked," Myers said. "That's probably the most embarrassing game I've been a part of since I've been here.
"It just comes down to mental preparation before the game. They wanted it more. That's why they're in the position they are now, and that's why we're in the position we're in."
As expected with a guaranteed playoff spot at stake, Montreal came out aggressively. The Habs controlled most of the first period while building their 2-0 lead. Montreal has outscored opponents, 37-16, during first periods and entered the night 14-3-1 when leading after one.
It went to 15-3-1 after the Habs dominated the second period, too. They scored two more times, and the Sabres were booed to the dressing room at intermission in a 4-0 hole. Thankfully for them, more than half the crowd of 19,070 consisted of Canadiens fans, which curtailed the noise level.
The building had begun to empty by the time the third period rolled around. Flynn gave the Buffalo backers who stayed a reason to cheer by scoring short-handed with 13:15 left. Chants of "Ole, ole, ole" rang through the nearly empty building when Montreal's P.K. Subban scored on the power play with 2:41 to go.
"That," Hodgson said, "was an embarrassing loss."

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Norman Church was obsessed with winning the 2013 Lipton Cup Regatta off the Atlantic waters of New Smyrna Beach. So much so that he skippered "Obsession" into victory in the Spinnaker Class.
The regatta was held Saturday and Sunday with the first day much rougher going in the choppy waters.
"Building seas became quite a challenge resulting in four competing boats retiring with equipment or crew problems on Saturday," the Smyrna Yacht Club said in a press release. "Sunday, light and shifty easterly breezes slowly increased providing for a fair and competitive race course."
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Dennis Jones, one of the Sunshine State's top cops, wants to come home. The Tallahassee police chief and former Daytona Beach police chief is among seven semi-finalists to become New Smyrna Beach's next police chief.
Jones, by far is the most experienced and high profile of the seven semi-finalists to lead the New Smyrna Beach police force. He and Acting Police Chief Michael Brouillette, the only New Smyrna Beach PD applicant, have the strongest name recognition among the seven in the running to replace Ron Pagano who retired in December.

In this weeks edition of the Leader, I am appalled about this following excerpt:
"The couple had expressed an interest in obtaining a kennel license and a Deputy was trying to assist them with that process which begins each year in January."
Lets go back to the facts...This couple rented a house, kept 57+ dogs and cats in inside, breeding, selling them for a profit, yet failed to register as a kennel or breeders license, and abused someone's else property by keeping all of these animals caged indoors? Not healthy or fair to the animals, not fair to the property owner, and not until they were being evicted reached out for help. Why did the officer not fine and rescue these animals when discovered? Every other business needs a license to operate, pay taxes, and more importantly be inspected for the well being of these poor animals. What duty it it of the deputy to NOT do his job and report this and take appropriate action? Next week we are in Jan. and they could not get a permit from the prior year? Working with the offender is not an option.
It seems to me that this was just not some out of control pet breeding, but an actual for profit business, and the authorities, ASPCA, Humane Society should have seized these dogs and cats immediately and slapped a healthy per pet fine on these people, with the proceeds benefitting the animal shelter.
I really hope all these animals find a loving home, get spayed and neutered and these people never able to get a license to raise animals again for profit. Too many unwanted pets in shelters for people to bring more into the world for profit, especially under these conditions.

RENO, Nev. — More than 300 bird species found in North America during the summer will make their way to Latin America or the Caribbean, some covering distances of nearly 7,000 miles. Parks, backyards and nature refuges across the country will host these winged visitors for the next few weeks as the birds make their way to their fall and winter destinations.
"Migration is a fascinating part of bird behavior," said Jacque Lowery, manager of Wild Birds Unlimited located within Moana Nursery. "Besides the amount of daylight, it appears that age, sex, weather and the availability of food, water and shelter are the major factors in migratory behavior."
While migration is still not completely understood, it appears some birds orient themselves by the stars on clear nights while others seem to have a built-in magnetic compass. Some birds travel over large bodies of water, and birds commonly lose one fourth to one half of their body weight during such over-water migration.
In order to survive their grueling trip, birds accumulate fat prior to migration. This physiological change helps the birds maintain their energy reserves.
"Not only can we enjoy migrating birds as they pass through our area, but we can also play a role in their survival by providing food, water, habitat and/or shelter to help them conserve and replenish their energy supply during their journey. Foods that are high in fat, such as suet, Bark Butter and a seed blend with lots of sunflower seeds, help birds refuel their energy supply," said Lowery.

Reliability of SnAgCu Solder Joints Under Thermo-Mechanical Stresses
Nurmi, Sami
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2005-01-14

Department: Institute of Electronics
Tin-lead has been used as a primary solder material in the electronics industry for decades. However, lead is a toxic material. Recently, many recommendations have been made and much legislation has been proposed in order to ban the use of lead in electronic products. Thus, lead-free alternatives have had to be developed. However, the properties and the reliability of lead-free alternatives in different operating environments are still relatively unknown. This thesis deals with lead-free alternatives based on the SnAgCu solder composition and studies their reliability. The traditional tin-lead solder was used as a reference. The reliability of solder joints was evaluated by an accelerated thermal cycling test. The primary focus of this thesis is on PBGA components as the use of small, cost-effective solder balled components is increasing daily in the modern electronics industry. The reliability of the solder joints was studied using different solder paste and component combinations, printed circuit board surface finishes and pad structures, as well as reflow times. The effect of these factors on the solder joint reliability is discussed. One key interest in this thesis was the use of tin-lead components in the lead-free soldering process as these kinds of solder joints may be used during the transition period to totally lead-free soldering. The results of the tests show that this kind of mixed technology should be avoided. On the whole, the SnAgCu-based lead-free solder joints endured thermo-mechanical stresses very well. The test results show that the reliability of the solder joints may even be increased by using lead-free alternatives if all factors affecting the solder joints are taken into consideration and understood. Finally, recommendations for more reliable solder joints are given.

My Predictions:
1st Round: DET 4 - KINGS 1
2nd Round: DET 4 - BLUES 2
Conf Final: DET 4 - SJ 3
I believe we will see Detroit and Pittsburgh in a SCF rematch from 2008/2009. I do not think Vancouver is going to get past Chicago or St. Louis this year as they just got off a long run last year and they lost some of their defense. I also think Nashville could compete against Vancouver this year but I do not see them coming out of the West. The reason San Jose gets to the conference final is St. Louis / Vancouver / Nashville / Blackhawks will be worn down from long series. I also believe that the San Jose series this year will be either a short one or a long one. We will either sweep them or it will be a grinder.
I know this is a bit early but I'm getting excited about this years team, I really like the move to get Quincey. I also like the idea of putting smith into the lineup a few times in the playoffs. I feel like Zetterberg is starting to finally break out of his slump. I feel like this is a special year for the team and I believe they will win the cup.

Seoul – GM Korea today announced that Chevrolet's all-new small SUV, the Trax, has been named the Safest Car of the Year by Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT).
The Trax received a first-class rating (93.5 points) in overall safety and the best score in the pedestrian protection category in Korean New Car Assessment Program (KNCAP) history. It was the safest car among the 11 vehicles tested by KNCAP in 2013.
The Captiva also demonstrated Chevrolet's "Safety First" philosophy by receiving a maximum five stars in KNCAP crash tests.
This year's testing was more stringent than past years' testing. Eight crash tests were done: frontal crash, frontal offset crash, side crash, pole side crash, whiplash, pedestrian protection, rollover and brake test.
In every crash test conducted by KNCAP, the Trax received the maximum five stars. It had perfect scores in the 56 km/h frontal crash test and side pole crash test. In addition, KNCAP reported that the Trax provided good protection for pedestrians in all areas.
"This is another important achievement for GM Korea," said Steven Clarke, GM CIO(Consolidated International Operations) Chief of Vehicle Engineering. "It demonstrates our commitment to offering world-class safety in all of our products to meet our customers' expectations."
Safety has been maximized in the Trax through a sturdy body structure, 66 percent of which is made of high-strength steel. The Trax has adopted the Body Frame Integral System, which connects the upper frame and infrastructure of the chassis. This system offers a solid structure for stable high-speed driving and smooth, sophisticated handling.
The Trax comes with six driver, passenger and side curtain air bags as standard, while its front bumper, hood and breakable-type windshield wipers are designed in pursuit of protection for pedestrians.
It also comes with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), the Traction Control System (TCS), Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) and Hill Start Assist (HSA). In addition, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – which is only available as an option on other models – comes standard on all trim levels of the Trax to further enhance driving safety.
The Trax was awarded the top five-star rating by the independent European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) in May 2013.
The full Trax crash test results can be viewed here.

School board has limited options
January 16, 2013
JERSEY SHORE — Other than moving forward with a plan proposed Monday night to save its educational programs from the chopping block, the Jersey Shore Area School Board said it has no other options....
Thanks JRM for your information, but it would be better to start your research as far back as 2005. Some interesting data found so far: petition filed in Lycoming County court No. 05-00,778 to increase real estate tax levy an additional 16% above the 10% allowed by law; Superintendents contract waived the residency requirement (BM-L.Brooks, T. Fanning, B. Hockenberry, N. Petrosky, C. Shurer, D. Smith, A. Uhl, M. Welsh, and W. Miller (Nov. 21, 2005)done prior to reorganizational meeting of new board members D. Ireland, S. Helm, H. Brungard, and C. Allen); the regular and work sessions lasted anywhere from 15-60 minutes and no questions from the floor were answered; would appear the board was split on 5-4 voting; Nepatism policy got removed as recommended from the Superintendant; expensive lawsuits settled; omission of policy comprehension; financial questions unanswered by the business manager; administrators/teachers family members hired; and will report more later...

I see the board member posted on the SOS website and with some good information as well. I would think that the young lady responsible for posting private information should stop trying to justify herself with excuses for crossing boundaries. Also, I would commend that member for not wanting to take legal action, as she has made concessions to combat people like you who say you cannot get answers. I WONDER WHY? Interesting she noted a constituent called her, not you.

jrm3535, why would any special interest group try to promote the one campus system over getting their one elementary axed? Essentially, this is what I see happened and some not so smart school board members went along with it. I would suspect that the sqeaky wheel got its oil, those who barked loudest got feed or even someone wasn't doing their job? So many questions....

Would someone inbox me with the name of the person who was violated or could the mediator on the Save Our School Website give their explanation as to why they would post private information without getting consent from the board member first?
As I peruse the Website, I see that a parent questions the legality of posting minor children's photos without parental consent. The moderator replies they have acquired legal advise regarding the matter, would the moderator like to share where that legal advice came from?
As to the distribution of propaganda on school property, could someone tell me what lawyer was caught doing that on school property at Monday nights meeting?
It would appear Andy has some valid points!

WOW! People are putting others in harms way over what? A school closure, are you kidding Me! It sounds as though some people are crossing boundaries, with very bad legal advice I would assume. As of the start of working hours this morning, it would appear as though that board has some unattended business to take care of before implementing what was presented on Monday night. I hope that business is dealt with responsibly.

I caution those reading propaganda on the Bethany McClain Save our School website. I have contacted my district school board representative and they were almost 99.9% sure that she has never attended a public board meeting. It is one thing to be informed, but another to spread opinions that are unfounded. They also informed me that one of the board members privacy was violated by this individual, putting the members personal information on that site. People need to make sound decisions whether they are intentional or not. Any movement on that site reflects either positive or negatively on all the parents of the Salladasburg Elementary School.

I am impressed that the SG editors are finally allowing less propaganda in their news coverage and sticking to what the district has to report to those taxpayers who are unable to attend public board meetings. More facts are better than what any 1% of the biased individuals think should yyhappen for every student in the JSASD.

Valley girl, I have no problem talking to my board director and they represent me just fine. I was very saddened when the last plan was declined, because it had been in the works for over 4 years. I was hoping for the plan to be brought back up, discussed, voted on and passed, but there was rumor in the air why that did not happen. Well, the rumor was presented at Mondays meeting, now we deal with it! I guess when all the white noise tuned out common sense....the dominoes fell fast. I will trust the educators on this one, thank you very much!!!!

So the flyers containing propaganda are being used for the purpose of collecting more parents to help fight to keep Nippenose Elementary School open? So the valley parents doing this are well informed and have easily gained numbers from Salladasburg Elementary School parents? Why would the Salladasburg parents give up their school to help fight for Nippenose? Something here doesn't make sense. Can someone tell me if these parents are fighting together to save all the community schools or if a group of people just pulled a fast one on the Salladasburg parents?

WOW! Requesting information is now labeled as "stiring the pot" and we are "trouble makers?!" Really? We have a right to know. And the best place to ask questions to the board is AT school board meetings. This bothers you?!? The school board representatives are not giving the public this information. I do consider this to be part of their responsibilities when they're using OUR tax money and shuffling OUR children around. Like I said...this consolidation may very well be the BEST option for the district. But the manner in which the school board has dispersed information (wait...the lack thereof) is cause for concern and should make them pause before voting. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with wanting more informatin and if you decide you are too busy or just not concerned or would rather stick your head in the sand well shame on you.

Even if our district had future plans to close down the other elementary schools, ours wasn't an option for years. When the pot-stirrers were only thinking about themselves and no one else, what other option did that administration really have? I will have to keep reading my hand-out and asking my representative questions. That is my way of getting information, other than the board meetings. I wish the trouble makers would just stay home and stop interrupting every meeting with their nonsense. I need to hear what is going on because it will affect my children too. And if you are reading this, stop passing out propaganda on school property...it is against the law and you know it.

I would think that the parents of the children in the JSASD have many choices as to where and how their children are educated. Parents need to sit down and discuss their options thoroughly, I agree ozz1996. When I was actively taking part in my childs education the other night, by listening to what seemed to be all the principals, assistant principals, business manager, superintendent, assistant superintendent, every administrator in the district give their reasons for a district wide change...I listened, because they are the educators,not I. I have also taken note to who is continually using the floor to stir-up trouble and I think you are right andy, nuff and company use defense attorney tactics to repeat themselves continually. I never saw them at a board meeting until their school was getting axed. My neighbors and I were discussing how their pot-stirring has led to our childrens school getting it too. Most of the parents at my school are connecting the dots

Everyone has limited options it seems these days, but are we limited to just one?
There was a nice article a while back about the mess that is the JSSD transportaion dept. I wonder if they have all the logistics figured out or if kids will be sitting on a bus for 2 hours one way.
I'm not very high on the idea of shutting down all these schools, then having them sit empty, still needing up keep, taxes paid, heat, water, etc. Where I work our company spent over 500K on a vacant warehouse last year in those costs.
Things & opinions may be different if the school district had all their ducks in a row before making this call. I'm sure the pond is filled with wandering ducks, some with their heads below the water...
We are strongly considering home schooling for our children. Pros & Cons to all and this is no different.

Understanding Schizophrenia
By Stephanie Corkett, NAMI Communications Intern
At the annual NAMI National Convention this past June, Dr. Jack McClellan, the Medical Director of Child Study and Treatment at the State Hospital of Child and Adolescents in Washington, presented the latest findings in the genetics of schizophrenia.
In the last five years, new research in the psychiatric field has led to enormous breakthroughs in mental illnesses including schizophrenia. McClellan recently finished a study examining the genome, (an individuals entire genetic code consisting of more than 3 billion units of DNA), of individuals living with schizophrenia and comparing them to the genomes of people without the illness.
In the past, scientists believed that schizophrenia came from a certain gene that was passed down from parent to child; this process was called the Common Allele Model. The model suggested that each parent had the small genetic risk and when a child was born, the combined risks would result in their child having schizophrenia.
This older model is questionable because if schizophrenia included completely heritable genes then it should not have been able to exist at all
This older model is questionable because if schizophrenia included completely heritable genes then it should not have been able to exist at all, says McClellan. Considering the evolutionary process of natural selection, schizophrenia genes should not be passed on because most of those who are living with the disease do not have children. Eventually, the disease would be bred out of the human race.
McClellans study partially discredits this model. In his findings, McClellan noticed that of the 150 people he examined no one had the exact same mutations in their DNA, even siblings who were in the study together didnt have the same genetic mutations that could have caused schizophrenia.
Looking at past research studies about schizophrenia, McClellan found two factors that could genetically contribute to schizophrenia: paternal age and rates of maternal famine. Two previous studies from the 1900s both showed that in times of famine, children had a twofold risk of having schizophrenia, this coupled with the fact that children are more likely to have a neural defects as the age of their father increases, are the only two factors that could genetically predispose a person towards schizophrenia.
McClellan realized that because schizophrenia wasnt completely a heritable trait there had to be something else causing schizophrenia to appear, in turn he began looking at gene mutations.
McClellan found different combinations of mutations in every individual he tested. This means that because there is no common cause for schizophrenia everyone who is living with schizophrenia has a different strain and can exhibit different symptoms.
A normal human genome can have thousands of mutations in their genes. These mutations can either be deletions, where DNA code is deleted from DNA base pairs, or replications, where DNA is replicated more than one time when DNA is being created. Most of these mutations are benign and wont interfere with brain development or the bodys normal processes says McClellan. McClellan believes that people who have schizophrenia have more mutations that people without mental illness, and that their mutations are a combination of a number of benign mutations that when combined produce mental illnesses.
The problem with this finding is that there is not a common mutation for schizophrenia. McClellan found different combinations of mutations in every individual he tested. This means that because there is no common cause for schizophrenia everyone who is living with schizophrenia has a different strain and can exhibit different symptoms. This is why people can show symptoms early or late in life and why not everyone reacts to medication for schizophrenia the same.
McClellan notes that the psychiatric field needs to move beyond categorizing someone by the disease and begin deducing how that person developed that disease. Because every case is different one general medication across the board isnt effective for individuals living with schizophrenia.
Until science can determine every single combination of mutations that can potentially cause schizophrenia they cannot begin to create medications to significantly see results in their patients symptoms, notes McClellan.
McClellan has hope for the future of this research and believes that with continued support in the psychiatric field and extensive research into the different causes of schizophrenia, that the secrets behind the complex illness of schizophrenia will finally be revealed and understood.

Sometimes my costume was store bought and sometimes homemade. Occasionally long-thought out and often at the very last minute.
Growing up, autumn was my January, when the going got good. When life- just as it was about to change and pass away- really began. When the heart began to feel again.
My mom would decorate our house with pumpkin ceramics, crackled glass eyes and teeth glowing out the big picture window.
We'd have a Halloween party at school, wear our costumes and do a parade through classrooms, later we'd trick or treat down the street with a pillowcase, at Mommal & Poppal's house, (and when I was older) in the rich neighborhoods.
Wooded walks and bonfires, jeans with dresses and hooded sweatshirts, thrift store sweaters. Black cherry candles and a lead role in the fall play senior year.
There was- and is- always color and crunch and warm sun and cool air. Clouds like mountain ranges, or ocean tides. Last night we had the heat on, then flip flops to walk on the beach this morning. Sweaters on top, toes in the water. Heart in my eyes. And eyes in my heart. Fondness.
Fall is what makes it home, the time that convinces me I am artist, writer, lover- it's what drives me through all the other seasons and the only thing on my mind is when I'll arrive here again.
Hallmark is compensating me for participating in the Life Is A Special Occasion campaign. It would be awesome if you'd sign up for their promotional emails (you might even see me in there!) by following this link. I am partnering with Hallmark to spotlight Life Is A Special Occasion for the rest of this year. As always, all content and opinions expressed are my own.

Coptic veneration of Mary - Antony-Paul - 24-04-2011
I am fairly new to the BOC and doing a course in Orthodox studies. I have some 'standard' texts such as Gambero, Pelikan and Maximovitch, but these are essentially Byzantine in outlook. Can anyone either offer some thoughts on specifically Coptic devotion to Mary, or perhaps direct me to English language publications which may help.
Many thanks for your help.

At the risk of stating the obvious but I'd rather state the obvious than risk missing it! The British Orthodox Church edition of Morning and Evening Incense includes several Doxologies to the Virgin Mary: "Hail to Thee, we ask thee O saint full of grace, the Ever-Virgin...", "The adornment of Mary, in the highest heavens...", "Blessed art thou, O Mary...", "Regard us from on high..." and from the Introduction to the Creed, "We magnify thee, O Mother of the true Light..."
The Coptic Orthodox month of Kiahk (in which falls Christmas) has hymns for St Mary (text hopefully available online). Tadros Malaty's book on St Mary in the Coptic Tradition may also hopefully be available online.
The 21st of each Coptic month is a Feast Day for St Mary. The Feasts of the Dormition and the Assumption (celebrated either as the Assumption in the Roman Catholic Church or the Dormition in the Byzantine Orthodox) are still celebrated as two distinct Feasts at different itmes of year in the Coptic and Ethiopian Churches. The Feast of the Assumption is preceeded by St Mary's Fast of 15 days only exceeded in length by Lent, Advent (and some years, depending on how early Pascha falls, by the Apostles' Fast) which gives some idea of the high importance of this Feast.
The Lectionary provides the following readings for Feasts of St Mary -
Evening Incense:
Psalm "Glorious things are spoken of thee: O city of God. The Most High Himself hath founded her: How joyous are all they that have their habitation in Thee. Alleluia."
Gospel Luke 10:38-42
Morning Incense:
Psalm "Even as we have heard, so too have we seen: in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Alleluia."
Gospel Matthew 12:35-50
Divine Liturgy:
Pauline Hebrews 9:1-12
Catholicon 2John: 1-13
Praxis Acts 1:1-14
Psalm "And Him shall the daughter of Tyre worship with gifts: the rich among the people shall entreat thy countenance. All her glory is that of the daughter of the King: robed as she is in golden fringed garments. Alleluia."
Gospel Luke 1:39-56
It should be noted that the Feast of the Annunciation in the Coptic Orthodox Tradition is not a Feast of St Mary but one of the 7 Major Feasts of Christ. The readings however may be of interest.
Evening Incense:
Psalm ".O Lord, bow the heavens and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Send forth Thy hand from on high: rescue and deliver me. Alleluia."
Gospel Luke 7:36-50
Morning Incense:
Psalm "He shall come down as rain upon a fleece: and as raindrops falling on the earth. In His days shall righteousness spring up: and an abundance of peace. Alleluia."
Gospel Luke 11:20-28
Divine Liturgy:
Pauline Romans 3:1 â 4:3
Catholicon 1John 1:1 â2:6
Praxis Acts 7:23-34
Psalm "Hearken, O daughter, and see and incline thine ear: and forget thine own people and thy fatherâs house. For the king hath greatly desired thy beauty: for He is thy Lord, and thou shalt worship Him. Alleluia."

Supporters of building an indoor ice arena complex at Eastern Hills Mall are trying to keep their dream alive.
The nonprofit Clarence Community Recreation Corp. and the mall's owner, Mountain Development Corp., hope to create a two-rink arena on land behind the mall, between J.C. Penney and the Dipson movie theater.
Mountain Development remains committed to donating land for the arena, said Charles Breidenbach, managing director of the New Jersey-based company's retail properties group. And the corporation says the project would provide more ice time closer to home for area residents and benefit the region economically.
But proponents still need to finalize the project's price range, see if the financial targets are achievable and determine whether they could find a private lender who is receptive.
John Thur, president of the corporation and the Clarence Mustangs youth hockey organization, said it is too soon to say whether everything will come together. "We're getting to that point in the next few months where we'll know whether it's a go or a no-go," he said.
While an ice arena at the mall has been discussed for some time, talk of the town government possibly partnering on the project has fizzled.
The corporation previously presented a plan under which the town would build the facility – estimated at $8 million at the time – through a 25-year bond agreement. The corporation proposed operating the complex and using funds generated from those operations to cover the bond payments.
In 2011, the town collected proposals from 13 architectural and engineering firms as it considered whether to get involved. Nothing publicly emerged from that process., and the November 2011 election led to a change in town supervisor. The arena topic has rarely come up at Town Board meetings over the past year, but backers have continued to work on the idea.
Thur said organizers are awaiting results of engineering research to determine if the project would fall within a price range they would be comfortable with; he declined to quantify that range. But if the estimate falls within the range, or if the project can be adjusted to reach that range, organizers will approach private lenders, he said.
"There will be a fundraising component to this, as well," Thur said. And organizers will have to determine whether they could raise the amount necessary.
"There's still a need for capital, and I think we're all very understanding of that," Breidenbach said.
The arena complex, which would be connected to the mall, presumably would create more customers for mall tenants. Breidenbach said the arena would also enhance the mall's role as a community gathering place.
Supporters say an ice arena in Clarence would reduce travel time to rinks for area residents and allow for youth programs to be expanded. They also envision an arena generating more spending on hotel rooms, restaurants and shopping from tournament visitors.
But some residents have opposed the idea of the town partnering on such a project. The Clarence Tax Payers group says the town "should not be involved in funding, building or running sports complexes."
"That being said, we have no problem with an effort to build and run the ice arena with private funding," said Marlese Wacek, a representative of the group. "A private venture will contribute to Clarence's tax base, rather than rely on it."
A privately funded ice arena complex at the mall would still have to obtain town government approvals, just as other projects do. Working with a private lender would mean higher borrowing costs than bonding the project through the town. But at the same time, proponents would not have to face opposition to the town acting as a partner, or winning voter support if a referendum were held. Town Supervisor David C. Hartzell Jr. said he likes the approach the mall owner and CCRC are pursuing, saying it would benefit the town and its residents.
"I think the prospects right now are excellent that you'll see a hockey rink at Eastern Hills built, funded and bonded by Mountain Development, and not paid for by the taxpayers of the Town of Clarence," he said.

I've been using Visual Basic not so long. I remember that moment when I touched VB. From that moment I felt in love with it! Its syntax is self-describing, and this was important for me. When I read some C# code, I always have to figure out "what is it" - is it a function, or sub, or property? VB says "Function" - and I know that this is function. It's very cool and easy to learn language.
VB is cool!

Flash has grown beyond its best known application, Web pages. Nowadays, Flash movies appear everywhere—the Internet, mobile devices, the cinema, TV shows and commercials, computer games. Using Flash, you can create a wide variety of file formats, including apps (iOS and Android), HTML5, and video that work on virtually any device.
In this course, you'll learn how to create animation, interactive movies, and mobile apps in Flash CS6 and develop several full-blown Flash applications. We'll start by reviewing the Flash workspace, creating text and graphics, and animating objects on the Flash stage. Then, we'll look in detail at the anatomy of a Flash movie—how to use the Flash timeline, layers and frames to control objects, and timing on the stage.
While creating your first Flash movie, you'll learn how to format and embed external digital media and how to make them appear or play at specific times. We'll also look at controlling digital media based on specific events, such as end user mouse clicks.
No course on Flash is complete without an introduction to ActionScript, Flash's powerful programming language. We'll get our hands dirty, creating interactive buttons with ActionScript 3.0. You'll also learn to write scripts that control movie flow, and scripts that call to and load external videos, Web pages, and other Flash movie files.
As we create our movie, we'll go over creating and animating 3-D objects, syncing sounds with animations, and publishing your Flash movies to the Internet and to mobile apps. By the end of the course, you'll understand the fundamentals of Flash and be ready to master more advanced Flash topics.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Jennifer Lawrence
- 1990
Southern Comfort
Jennifer Lawrence is born in Louisville, Ky., to Karen (who runs a children's camp) and Gary (who owns a concrete-contracting business). As a child, she shines in a bit role as a prostitute from Nineveh in a church play about the Book of Jonah. "This little extra just took over," her mother later tells Louisville Magazine of her youngest child. "She played the best prostitute."
- 2004
New York Minute
A high school cheerleader and local theater regular, Lawrence visits New York with her mom to interview at talent agencies. While strolling around Manhattan, "a guy asked to take my picture," Lawrence recounts in an Esquire interview. "We probably should have realized how creepy that was." Fortunately, he turns out to be a legitimate scout, and agents soon come calling.
- 2007
Steady Gigs
Having finished high school early, Lawrence returns to New York and lands a smattering of gigs, including an Abercrombie & Fitch ad, a Burger King commercial, and appearances on TV's Monk and Medium. She soon relocates to L.A. for the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show. "From 15 to 16 I sucked, because I had no idea what I was doing. Then I slowly stopped sucking," she says of her early acting experience.
- 2009
Bad to the 'Bone'
After starring in two hard-hitting indie dramas, (The Burning Plain and The Poker House), Lawrence auditions for the lead in Winter's Bone. Wary of her good looks, producers initially reject her for the gritty role of Ree Dolly, a poor-as-dirt teen who hunts down her meth-dealing dad. "Then, like a psychopath, I followed them to New York on the red-eye and showed up the next day at the casting there," she recalls to PEOPLE. "Not brushing my hair or washing my face did the trick."
- 2010
Gold Standard
With the release of Winter's Bone, the virtual unknown receives rapturous reviews. "Winter's Bone may be a small film, but Lawrence's performance is world class," writes PEOPLE. The accolades culminate in a Best Actress Oscar nomination. "I'm going to the Oscars," she raves to EW, before making a dazzling turn at the ceremony in her figure-skimming Calvin Klein dress.
- 2011
Lawrence ups her box-office appeal by appearing as scantily clad, shape-shifting mutant Mystique in the blockbuster comic-book franchise X-Men: First Class. "Nothing's sacred anymore," she jokes of her body-paint costume for the film, which debuts at No. 1 and brings in $120 million worldwide.
Let the 'Games' Begin!
Lawrence's first major studio lead role arrives when she's cast as heroine Katniss Everdeen in the film adaptation of author Suzanne Collins's wildly popular trilogy The Hunger Games. Heralded as the new Harry Potter-meets-Twilight, the project raises Lawrence to leading lady status. "I knew that as soon as I said yes, my life would change," the actress tells EW of the movie, for which she dyes her blonde hair brown.
- 2012
'Game' On!
The Hunger Games rakes in more than $251 million during its first 10 days at the box office, besting the competition two weeks in a row. Of Lawrence's blockbuster performance, PEOPLE's movie critic Alynda Wheat raves that the actress "is a fan's dream. With her soulful eyes and innate grit, she gives skilled hunter Katniss equal doses of complexity and appeal. Forget Twilight's insipid Bella Swan. This is a literary heroine girls can cherish."
- 2013
By the Playbook
Lawrence returns to her indie roots with Silver Linings Playbook, starring as a young widow who helps Bradley Cooper's character get his life back on track. "I was confused by her," she tells The Hollywood Reporter of the role of Tiffany. "Somebody who is very forceful and bullheaded is normally very insecure, but she isn't. I was driven to her to kind of discover that personality a little bit more." The part lands Lawrence a best actress Golden Globe and SAG Award, as well as an Oscar nomination.
Besting the Rest
Capping off a near-perfect awards season run, Lawrence is named Best Actress at the 2013 Academy Awards for her role in Silver Linings Playbook. On her way to the podium, the actress briefly stumbles and trips over her Dior Haute Couture gown, but plays off the slipup with her trademark sense of humor. "Thank you!" she says. "You guys are just standing up 'cause you feel bad that I fell and that's really embarrassing, but thank you."

Rivalry game. A share of the Southwestern League title on the line. Senior Day.
Durango High School sports fans who�d like to see that scenario play out have their pick of sports today, where the same things are on the line both for the baseball team and girls soccer team, respectively, against Montezuma-Cortez.
Baseball is first out of the gate, with first pitch scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at Durango High School. The Demons are coming off a split on the road last weekend, getting a critical win over Class 4A foe Montrose before falling to Class 5A Grand Junction.
Durango (11-7, 6-3 Southwestern League) sits a half-game ahead of Grand Junction and Fruita Monument, which each play twice this weekend.
While the Demons would need help to take the crown outright for the first time since 2009, a win would go a long way toward a possible hosting assignment in the postseason for the second consecutive season.
�There�s a lot of scenarios with what�s going to happen with the final league standings, but one thing that�s constant about all those scenarios is we have to win Thursday,� Durango head coach Rob Coddington said. �I think it�s as simple as that.�
It�s equally simple for the Demons� girls soccer program when it meet the Panthers at 5 p.m. today at Riverview Sports Complex.
At 9-4-1 overall and 7-2-0 in the SWL, the Demons hold a slight edge over Grand Junction at 6-2-0 and Fruita Monument at 6-3-0.
A win coupled with a loss by the Tigers in either of their games this weekend would give Durango the title outright.
A win also would give Durango at least a share of its fourth league title in six years under head coach Aaron Eldridge. And, like baseball, it�d give the Demons� girls soccer side a chance to open the Class 4A playoffs at home.
�We�ve already clinched a playoff position. It�d be really nice to get the league title, host a home game,� Eldridge said. �We haven�t done that in a couple of years.�
It also would be a proper regular-season sendoff for 10 soccer seniors and a clean sweep of a Cortez team Durango beat 5-nil April 17. With the possibility of Senior Day distractions, Eldridge said having so much on the line could help Durango�s focus.
�It�s a difficult day to stay focused because it�s the last guaranteed home match for the seniors, and we have 10 seniors,� he said. �I think they�ve done a really good job staying focused dealing with prom and other things.�
Ever since a lackluster showing in a 3-0 loss at home to Grand Junction, the Demons have won three in a row on the pitch, thanks in large part to the output of sisters Brooke and Lauren Milliet.
Senior Brooke Milliet leads DHS with seven goals, while Lauren Milliet is tied for second on the team with five goals and four assists.
It appears the Durango girls are peaking at the proper time on the pitch.
�I wouldn�t want to jinx that, but I think sometimes it takes a little bit of adversity to refocus. The girls have done a fantastic job,� Eldridge said.
A win on the baseball field would help point the Durango boys in the right direction after having lost three of its last five. For that, the Demons will turn to ace Joe Brennan (5-2, 3.58 ERA).
�He�s going to start the game (today), for sure,� Coddington said. �And Joe does a good job. The one thing Joe Brennan has consistently done the last three years on the mound for us is give us a chance to win.�
Two teams. Two titles on the line.
Play ball.

She's a pusher, Cady.
A decade after their Mean Girls characters squared off over the Burn Book, Tina Fey and Lindsay Lohan snapped a sweet selfie together following a chance encounter. (It's like they have ESPN or something.)
"Lovely running into an inspiring, funny, beautiful old friend!!!! #tinafey" Lohan, the movie's resident jungle-freak-turned-less-hot-version-of-Regina-George, wrote with her Instagram.
Their castmates have also shown that when the 2004 high school classic's stars reunite, they have to take a photo. That's just, like, the rules of feminism.
Amy Poehler proved she's a cool mom when she posed for a series of selfies with Lizzy Caplan (Janice) and Daniel Franzese (Damien) in August. And Lohan and Franzese met up at New York City's Bodega Negra in February, captioning their Instagram with the forever relevant quote, "You can't sit with us."
Though everyone at North Shore High School felt personally victimized by Regina George, Rachel McAdams has shot down rumors of a rift with Lohan.
"If anything, I was in awe of her talent,"she told Allure for the magazine's August issue. "I looked at her as this experienced actor, and she had great comedic timing, so natural."
She can't help it that she's so popular.

Jamestown dominates second half
Senior guard Tommy Campion had 24 points and junior forward Quinn Lee Yaw had a career-high 21 as Jamestown used a dominant fourth quarter to earn an ECIC I win at Clarence, 64-51.
Jamestown, the No. 3 large school, won the fourth quarter, 22-13, against the No. 9 Red Devils.
"We played great defense in the fourth quarter," said Jamestown coach Ben Drake. "We had some good interior passing and got several layups in the fourth.
"Quinn did a really, really nice job tonight. He's really progressing and it's nice to be able to have that as a strength to offset what Tommy does."
Oracle nabs signature win
In its fourth year of varsity boys basketball, Oracle Charter finally picked up its signature win.
Oracle's Gerald Bibbs had his ninth double-double of the season with 18 points and 16 rebounds as the Phoenix defeated McKinley, 80-75, in a nonleague game.
"We're 14-1 now but hadn't really beaten anyone of merit," Oracle coach Brian Pawlowski said. "McKinley is a top-notch program and this is the first real signature win in our fourth year. The last two years we've started to put together some good teams with good kids."
Three players were in double figures along with Bibbs – Eric Waters (18), Jamarr Cunningham (17) and Julius Allen (13).
But the players who end up in the box score aren't the only key members for the Phoenix.
"There were four guys on the bench today who did not get in the game and a couple of guys who just got a few minutes," Pawloski. "We stressed the importance of those guys, pushing their teammates and working hard in practice to get better. The commitment level is what has made such a difference."
Amherst edges Maryvale
Johnathan Belton had 10 rebounds and 12 assists while Alex Turecki had 17 points and 12 rebounds to pace Amherst to a key 53-48 win over host Maryvale in ECIC III boys basketball.
With the win, Amherst improved to 9-0 in league play and 12-1 overall.
"In the third quarter we picked up our intensity and played more disciplined on defense," Amherst coach Chris Kensy said. "We were winning the 50-50 battles and took a couple of charges and that was the difference.
"We hadn't won at Maryvale in 10 years. They've had our number. This was definitely a great team win. It was a sectional-type of atmosphere and very physical with big shot after big shot. We pulled together as a team and came up with a nice win."
Transition keys Sacred Heart
Defense continues to be the hallmark for Sacred Heart's girls basketball team. Combine that with its best shooting night of the season and the top-ranked Sharks ran away with a 73-29 win over seventh-ranked Holy Angels in Monsignor Martin action.
Sacred Heart (15-0) generated points off the fast break and in transition to build a 30-12 halftime lead. La'Trice Hall scored 22 points with 13 rebounds and five assists while Sarah Young had 10 points and eight rebounds. Chelsea Smith had five points, five assists and five steals while anchoring the Sharks' defense.

Encouraging news! And I think when Brown said he started landing it, he means consistently without URs and 2-foots. And just in time too!I am planning the triple Axel in both the short and the long in Sochi, Brown reported on Friday. I actually started landing it on Wednesday, so it is officially in my repertoire. I am extremely excited to leave for Russia and pack that jump with me!

Yay! An early holiday present for all of us.
Is this event being held in the venue that Worlds and then Olympics will be held in? IIRC, they typically hold test events in it....I'm interested to see the construction, how it's set up and such. I remember SLC was a disaster with many blocked views.....
