PHILADELPHIA � Joe Paterno and other top Penn State officials hushed up child sex abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky more than a decade ago for fear of bad publicity, allowing the former assistant football coach to prey on other youngsters, according to a scathing report issued Thursday on the scandal.
�Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky�s child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State,� said former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who was hired by university trustees to look into what has become one of sports� biggest scandals. �The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized.�
After an eight-month investigation, Freeh�s firm produced a 267-page report that concluded that the Hall of Fame coach, President Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz �repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky�s child abuse.�
Paterno �was an integral part of this active decision to conceal,� and his firing was justified, Freeh said at a news conference. He called the officials� disregard for child victims �callous and shocking.�
Sandusky is awaiting sentencing after being convicted of 45 criminal counts for abusing 10 boys. The scandal led to the ouster of Paterno and Spanier. Curley and Schultz are awaiting trial on charges accusing them of lying to a grand jury and failing to report abuse. They have pleaded not guilty.
Asked whether the officials� actions amounted to a crime such as conspiracy or obstruction, Freeh said that would be up to a grand jury.
School leaders �empowered Sandusky to attract potential victims to the campus and football events by allowing him to have continued, unrestricted and unsupervised access� to campus and to affiliate with the football program, the report said. The access, the report states, �provided Sandusky with the very currency that enabled him to attract his victims.�
Freeh said officials had opportunities in 1998 and 2001 to step in.
Sexual abuse might have been prevented if university officials had banned Sandusky from bringing children onto campus after a 1998 inquiry, the report said. Despite their knowledge of the police probe into Sandusky showering with a boy in a football locker room, Spanier, Paterno, Curley and Schultz took no action to limit his access to campus, the report said.
The May 1998 complaint by a woman whose son came home with wet hair after showering with Sandusky didn�t result in charges at the time. The report said Schultz was worried the matter could be opening �Pandora�s box.�
Then, in 2001, after a member of Paterno�s staff saw Sandusky in a campus shower with a boy, officials did bar him from bringing children to campus and decided not to report him to child welfare authorities.
�There�s more red flags here than you could count over a long period of time,� Freeh said.
In a statement, Paterno�s family said the longtime coach made mistakes that he acknowledged but �never interfered with any investigation� and was fooled by Sandusky.
�The idea that any sane, responsible adult would knowingly cover up for a child predator is impossible to accept. The far more realistic conclusion is that many people didn�t fully understand what was happening and underestimated or misinterpreted events,� the statement said. �If Joe Paterno had understood what Sandusky was, a fear of bad publicity would not have factored into his actions.�
Defense lawyer Caroline Roberto, who represents Curley, was reading the report and had no immediate comment, according to a spokeswoman. Messages were left for lawyers for Spanier and Schultz.
Karen Peetz, the chairwoman of Penn State�s board of trustees, said the panel believes Paterno�s �61 years of excellent service to the university is now marred� by the scandal and how he handled the accusations.
Peetz also said the board �accepts full responsibility for the failures that occurred� but that no board members would be stepping down.
Another trustee, Kenneth Frazier, said, �Our hearts remain heavy, and we are deeply ashamed.�
�You have to measure every human by the good they�ve done and the bad they�ve done,� he said. �We have to take some time ... and distance before we start thinking about how we think about Joe Paterno�s entire life and entire body of work.�
Freeh said Sandusky�s conduct was in part a result of the school�s lack of transparency, which stemmed from a �failure of governance� on the part of officials and the trustees. He said the collective inaction and mindset at the top of the university trickled all the way down to a school janitor who was afraid for his job and opted to not report seeing sex abuse in a school locker room in 2000.
The report also singled out the revered Penn State football program � one built on the motto �success with honor� � for criticism. It said Paterno and university leaders allowed Sandusky to retire in 1999, �not as a suspected child predator but as a valued member of the Penn State football legacy, with future �visibility� at Penn State,�� allowing him to groom victims.
Investigators, however, found no evidence linking his $168,000 retirement package to the 1998 police investigation. Freeh called the payout unprecedented but said there was no evidence it was an attempt to buy Sandusky�s silence.
Sandusky�s trial last month included gut-wrenching testimony from eight young men who said he abused them as boys, sometimes on campus, and included testimony that showed he used his prestige as a university celebrity to manipulate the children.
By contrast, Freeh�s team focused on Penn State and what its employees did � or did not do � to protect children.
More than 430 current or former school employees were interviewed since November, including nearly everyone associated with the football program under Paterno. The Hall of Fame coach died of lung cancer in January at age 85, without telling Freeh�s team his account of what happened.
Some of the report�s most damning evidence against Paterno consists of handwritten notes and emails that portray him as being involved with a decision by the officials not to tell child welfare authorities about the 2001 encounter.
Spanier, Schultz and Curley drew up a plan that called for reporting Sandusky to the state Department of Child Welfare. But Curley later said in an email that he changed his mind about the plan �after giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe.�
Spanier concurred but noted �the only downside for us is if the message isn�t (heard) and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it.�
The emails also show Paterno closely followed the 1998 allegation.
Michael Boni, a lawyer for a boy known as Victim 1, called the report a �serious indictment against Penn State�s culture and environment of protecting at all costs the football program.�
He added: �Nothing is shocking anymore in this case ... but the fact that the highest levels of the school made a conscious decision to cover up what Sandusky had done, it comes close. It is shocking.�
With the report now complete, the NCAA said Penn State now must address four key questions concerning �institutional control and ethics policies,� as outlined in a letter sent to the school last fall.
�Penn State�s response to the letter will inform our next steps, including whether or not to take further action,� said Bob Williams, the NCAA�s vice president of communications. �We expect Penn State�s continued cooperation in our examination of these issues.�
The U.S. Department of Education is examining whether the school violated the Clery Act, which requires reporting of certain crimes on campus, including ones of a sexual nature. The report said Penn State�s �awareness and interest� in Clery Act compliance was �significantly lacking.�
Only one form used to report such crimes was completed on campus from 2007 through 2011, according to the Freeh findings. And no record exists of Paterno, Curley or assistant coach Mike McQueary reporting that McQueary saw Sandusky in a shower with a boy in 2001, as they would be obligated to do under the Clery Act, according to the report.
As of last November, Penn State�s policies for Clery compliance still were in draft form and had not been implemented, the report found.
U.S. Department of Education said it still was examining whether Penn State violated the Clery Act but declined to comment on Freeh�s report.
Mary Krupa, an 18-year-old Penn State freshman who grew up in State College, said the conclusion that the school�s highest officials were derelict in protecting children didn�t shake her love of the town or the school.
�The actions of five or six people don�t reflect on the hundreds of thousands� of students and faculty who make up the Penn State community she said while walking through the student union building on campus.
Freeh said he regretted the damage the findings would do to Paterno�s �terrific legacy,� but there was no attempt to pin the blame on the late coach.
�What my report says is what the evidence and the facts show,� he said.
Christian Beveridge, a masonry worker who grew up near Penn State, said the findings will ruin Paterno�s legacy but not the closeness that people in town and fans feel for him.
�He built this town,� said Beveridge, 40, resting in the shade on campus during a break. �All of his victories, he�ll be remembered by everyone in town for a long time, but there will be that hesitation.�
Armas reported from Scranton and Scolforo from Harrisburg. Marc Levy in State College, Maryclaire Dale in Philadelphia and Tim Reynolds in Miami contributed to this report.

This collection of pieces originally recorded for the Green Linnet label is ideal for anyone who loves Celtic music, the flute, or both. The music runs the gamut from fast-paced and exciting ("George White's Favourite/The Sligo Maid," "Kitty in the Lane/Captain Kelly/The Green Mountain") to slow and sweet ("Raibh Tu ag an gCarraig," "Gwerz ar Marc' hadourig Bihan/Autrefois Disait un Guerrier/Ton Derobee") to everything in between. There are quite a few standout pieces as well; "Gan Ainm/Emily's" has a traveling feel to it, and "Seamus Ennis' Jig/Connie O'Connell's" is an excellent flute and fiddle duet. The most exciting piece here, however, is "Paddy and the Bandit," featuring a fiddle and drum backing that adds considerable drama. Flute and whistle are the lead instruments here, so much so that it's sometimes hard to hear the backing instruments, but this is overall an excellent sampler. --Genevieve Williams

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...

Oligonucleotide therapeutics make up a small but rapidly growing segment of the overall global drug pipeline, with 245 programs currently in development today. While only one approved oligo therapeutic is currently on the market (Pfizer's Macugen®), there are currently nearly 250 programs under development. Direct investment in this space was nearly $400 million in 2011, and it is projected that this class of drugs could represent up to 10% of total approvals in the next two years in the U.S. and EU, according to Gary Carter, director of strategy and marketing at Agilent Technologies' Nucleic Acid Solutions Division (NASD).
Oligo therapeutics include siRNAs, antisense oligos, miRNA inhibitors, and mimics, with cancer, infectious diseases, ocular conditions, and cardiovascular, CNS, and renal conditions being the primary targets among a diverse pipeline.
With increasing numbers of oligo therapeutics nearing the market, the manufacturing process for these drugs is assuming increased importance, with considerations of raw material availability, product yield and purity, cost effectiveness, reproducibility, validation, and product consistency during process scaling being critical parameters.
The forthcoming IBC Life Sciences "TIDES: Oligonucleotide and Peptide Research, Technology and Product Development" conference will feature several speakers from key players in the oligo therapeutic arena providing a variety of perspectives on the oligonucleotide manufacturing process.
Topics that will be addressed range from chemical strategies to improve oligonucleotide delivery, uptake, and targeting, to logistical issues associated with maintaining the worldwide oligonucleotide supply chain. The supply chain encompasses companies that specialize in sourcing raw materials required for the production of oligonucleotide synthesis reagents, as well as companies that focus on the logistics of commercial scale-up of the actual oligo production process.
Agilent is investing in its oligonucleotide manufacturing in anticipation of continued growth in this area. "NASD's three-year plan includes further expansion of our state-of-the-art kilo manufacturing facilities to support a projected 10-fold increase in demand for a broad portfolio of oligo APIs," says Skip Thune, general manger of Agilent's NASD.
A critical hurdle for oligonucleotide therapeutics is efficient drug delivery. Selectively targeting the oligo to desired tissues and ensuring its efficient uptake at the cellular level and release within the cytosol requires specific design strategies for each oligo.
"One strategy for drug delivery is to chemically conjugate oligonucleotides to a delivery vehicle, which can include polyethylene glycol polymers, cholesterol, vitamins, sugars, and peptides," says Kenneth Hill, Ph.D., principal investigator in Agilent's NASD.
"An important consideration is whether or not the oligonucleotide can be modified while on the solid support," he adds. If the modification group is not amenable or is unstable to the synthesis or deprotection conditions, then a post synthetic means of conjugation is required.
"Thiol-, amine-, or aldehyde-compatible chemistries originating from protein modification have been used for oligonucleotides," says Dr. Hill. More recently, pericyclic reactions for conjugation have grown in popularity, since the reagents and conditions are very mild, with high yields and little to no side products.
At the opposite end of the drug pipeline to drug delivery, another key consideration in the manufacturing process is management of change and impact of raw material impurities on drug quality.
"A well-documented supply chain risk assessment is not only prudent but is expected by regulatory authorities as part of the development process," observes Paul Metz, senior director of operations at Agilent.
Nucleoside phosphoramidites are highly reactive 3´-O-(N,N-diisopropyl phosphoramidite) derivatives of nucleosides that are the basic starting material in the oligo manufacturing process. DNA and RNA phosphoramidites are typically manufactured in reactors before purification by preparative column chromatography on silica gel with medium- to high-pressure chromatography equipment.
The presence of critical impurities in chemical preparations of phosphoramidites is an important regulatory and safety consideration during the manufacturing process. "Monitoring and testing for critical impurities in phosphoramidites starts as soon as we receive the raw material," adds Metz. The industry is beginning to harmonize the testing methods and specifications for these key oligonucleotide building blocks.

Closed Captioned
Alongside beloved knitting instructor Amy Detjen, stranded colorwork will work for you! During Amy's class, you'll get comfortable knitting a colorwork hat before you succeed at knitting an approachable stranded colorwork cardigan or pullover pattern. Along the way, you'll receive Amy's expert tips for tangle-free two-handed knitting and keeping your tension even. Find out how to trap your floats so the back of your work stays neat and tidy, and learn to add in new colors and weave in ends as you go. Then, Amy will walk you through knitting your sleeves, and if you so choose, shaping a V-neck, and steeking your V-neck and armholes with confidence. You'll attach your sleeves, finish your edges beautifully and weave in ends, and your dazzling colorwork sweater is done!
Meet your Instructor, Amy Detjen, and learn more about the skills she'll be teaching you, as well as the beautiful sweaters you'll be able to make.
Before you knit your sweater, you'll want to choose a pattern size and style: child or adult, pullover or cardigan. Amy discusses swatching for color and gauge and shares a measurement worksheet you can use for adjustments.
If casting on and joining to work in the round make you crazy, Amy's got you covered! She'll show you how to get it right the first time, without twisting your work.
All hands on deck! Whether you usually carry your yarn with your right hand or your left, Amy will soon have you carrying yarn in both to wrangle two colors at once. You also learn about float tension and yarn dominance.
What better way to practice stranded colorwork than with a simple hat? Using her included pattern as an example, Amy shows you how to trap the traveling yarn to prevent snags, how to read the pattern chart and how to finish the hat in pattern with a centered double decrease.
Are you ready to embark on your sweater adventure? Pick your style and get started with Amy's tips. You learn how to knit the steeks, choose a hem, plan for pattern symmetry and get the sleeves just right.
Taking scissors to your knitting can be scary, but Amy helps you take a deep breath and do it! Using steeks lets you knit the body of your sweater entirely in the round and gives you a tidy edge to work with, whether it's an armhole, V-neck or cardigan front.
Get those shoulders put together with a three-needle bind-off, then sew on or knit on the sleeves. Amy walks you through both methods step by step.
Your sweater is almost done! Add I-cord trim, buttonholes, attach a hem if desired and weave in your ends. Once your sweater is blocked, get ready to hear oohs and ahs from all who see it.
Praise for Amy Detjen's Custom Yoke Sweater:
"Custom Yoke Sweater with Amy Detjen is a top-of-the-line knitting class on Craftsy. This class is just like you invited Amy over for brunch & she decided to teach you to knit a sweater. Her manner & delivery are wonderful. I felt like she was talking to me (not at me) through the entire class. She has taken a technique/pattern that intimidates many people and made it seem so simple. When you finish the class you will be amazed that you ever doubted yourself.
The class is suitable for nearly every level of knitter. If you are fairly inexperienced, she explains things in a very down to earth, easily understandable manner. If you are a more experienced knitter, the class is worth the price just for all the tips, tricks & techniques you will pick up."

Sure they are.
You just have to pay a $200 tax on each one you buy¹.
[1] Only "destructive devices" are taxed. Chalk or smoke rounds are merely expensive :D
July 14, 2010, 12:59 AM
Yes question on that. I seen those at gun shows. Can I legaly buy those? or you need to be 21? I seen them run about $75 and is it legal to use them? where? gun range??? Doesnt the cap at the top explode off? she its kinda like a bullet ???
July 14, 2010, 01:27 AM
How would they handle it tax wise if you reloaded the case? How do they know one round from another, are they serialized?
July 14, 2010, 10:41 AM
The grenade in your link is just a big shotgun shell and isn't regulated any differently than a 12 gauge round. Ammo must have over 1/4 oz of explosives as a warhead to be regulated as a DD in and of itself.

As CleverNickname said thats not really a grenade, its just a big (low powered) buckshot round. Supposedly these were phased out because they were to wimpy and replaced with reducer bushings that could accept 12ga shells. These buckshot rounds were only intended to give the M79 gunner something to shoot back with since at close range (closer than the grenades arming distance) the 40mm was useless. Now that M203s are used the user always has 5.56mm at his disposal.
Civilians usually use a 40mm beehive round to simulate buckshot on the cheap. These take 18 or 20 .22lr rounds and use a rifle primer to fire them all off at the same time. They can be reloaded and reused as many times as youd like.
As for these being legal, you can buy any live DD ammunition you want as long as it contains no more than ¼ oz of explosive. The M407 was a HE practice round which had just barely under ¼ oz of explosive:
It has now been replaced with the orange chalk rounds.
Rumor has it Long Mountain Outfitters has the real deal M406 HE rounds but there is a $200 tax plus the cost of each round. In addition to this you need some kind of explosives user license issued by your state as well as an approved magazine to store them.
No one is really sure if you could just register the case, fire the round (an HE round that is lets just say M406) and then send it back to the manufacturer for repairs where they would re-prime the case and seat a fresh grenade. You can do this with a silencer if it is damaged or a machine gun as long as you dont destroy the tube or remanufacture the receiver so I think if you registered the case its self (as opposed to the grenade) it could be technically repaired by the manufacturer. If you did it on a form 1 you would be the manufacturer and you could reload it with whatever you wanted. You would still have to comply with state explosives laws however.
For the record I have no LE / military experience and am not an FFL. I do however have a registered LMT 40mm DD. Im not claiming to be an expert, just reporting what I have learned over the years.
July 15, 2010, 04:23 PM
Yeah, that's just buckshot. I have one. Now, actually having converted and fired off a 407 (trainer version of 406 minus the HE), it does indeed just take the $200 tax stamp and associated issues thereof, plus getting an HE manufacturing permit (outlined in the orange book) and building an approved magazine. :)

Hoard's Dairyman Editorial: FDA petition would expand product options
Hoard's Dairyman Editorial:
FDA petition would expand product options
Dairy has been long governed by a series of rules known as "standards of identity." While these federal requirements have protected our products from imitations, the rules have also stymied innovation when not updated in a timely fashion. Such is the case with the proposed removal of the federally mandated, unique-to-dairy, front-panel labeling requirement when using non-nutritive sweeteners in flavored milk. Unfortunately, the relatively straightforward concept used in a host of diet drinks has confused and upset some consumers, making this an unfortunate public relations mishap for our industry. Let's take a step back and untangle the confusion.
Current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandated rules require processors to label the front panel of dairy products that use the same no-calorie sweeteners, like aspartame, found in diet sodas and other sports drinks. The added front panel requirement has further hamstrung us in the modern-day marketing climate because fluid dairy products sweetened with low-cal options must be labeled with a nutrient content claim such as "no sugar added chocolate milk" or with a nonstandard term such as "dairy drink."
This outdated but still mandated standard of identity is in addition to the ingredient and nutrition labels required on the back of all food packages. It's this misconception surrounding dairy's extra labeling requirement that is causing some consumer groups to be misinformed and speak out against FDA's proposal with inaccurate commentary. To be fair, from a consumer perspective, it's understandable that there is misunderstanding because similar beverages such as diet drinks do not have additional labeling mandates.
A petition addressing this issue filed jointly by the National Milk Producers Federation and International Dairy Foods Association had greater importance when it was first submitted on March 16, 2009. During the four-year government delay, flavored milks have been reformulated with reduced sugar content to ensure access to school lunchrooms. However, we still need a full array of options to promote healthy eating. By updating FDA's rules, this proposal brings milk and a stable of 17 other dairy products into the current century and allows us to simply call them milk — with or without non-nutritive, low-cal sweeteners.
We encourage those who support this idea to speak out on safe and expanded product offerings. Formal public comments are due by May 21. Go to www.regulations.gov and search for FDA's proposed rule FDA-2009-P-0147-0012. By doing so, it will ensure the FDA that people actually understand this long overdue update.
This Hoard's Dairyman editorial appears on page 244 of the April 10, 2013.

Continuing their downward march, bankruptcy filings in Western New York again fell in August, showing no signs of having reached a new floor.
New bankruptcy cases fell 10.6 percent from a year earlier in the Buffalo and Rochester courts, to 538 filings from 602 in August 2011, according to new statistics from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York. That includes a 7.7 percent decline in Buffalo, to 359 from 389, and a 16 percent drop in Rochester, to 179 from 213.
For the first eight months of the year, total filings fell 10.4 percent in the entire district, to 4,407 from 4,919 for the same period of 2011. That included an 8.8 percent drop in Buffalo, to 2,887 from 3,167, and a 13.2 percent drop in Rochester, to 1,520 from 1,752. All tallies for 2012 were the lowest for August in at least a decade.
Nationwide, meanwhile, total bankruptcies are on track for the lowest tally for the year since the financial crisis began in 2008. "Month-to-month 2012 filings have either declined or remained basically flat," said bankruptcy attorney Jeffrey Freedman, who called it a response to the higher costs of filing for bankruptcy and the lower income of debtors.
The number of new filings has fallen almost every month in the past two years, almost defying the logic of a bad economy and lackluster recovery.
But experts say that debtors are deterred by the filing and attorneys' fees, which they can't afford, and by new legal protections that essentially mean the debtors aren't desperate to seek court protection. The cost of filing for bankruptcy has risen to about $1,500 since federal bankruptcy reforms in 2005 that imposed new requirements. And the law now protects from seizure a higher level of a debtor's initial money and other assets, and as long as their assets don't exceed that amount, creditors can't legally get anything.
According to court data cited by Freedman, the wealth of consumer debtors has been falling. The median income of consumer debtors was down 23 percent in 2011 over 2010, while median assets were down 1 percent and median average monthly expenses were down 1 percent. And a study by Columbia University, the University of Chicago and Washington University found the number of filings rises when income tax refunds come out, indicating that the debtors are waiting for the cash lump sum before they can file.
"Many consumer debtors put off filing, and in doing that see their debt load increase significantly as interest payments get higher," Freedman said. "It's a vicious cycle, with little hope of relief."
Bankruptcy laws allow debtors to seek court protection against creditors that would otherwise seize all their assets, giving them time to develop a permanent solution. Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code allows individuals and businesses to write off all their unsecured debts and wipe the slate clean to start over. Chapters 11 and 13 provide for businesses and individuals, respectively, to follow court-approved restructuring and repayment plans to make good on their debts.

Doctors dispute study
If you've ever tried to quit smoking, you know how difficult it is. Nicotine is so addictive that smokers often must try multiple smoking-cessation aids and combinations of aids before they're able to break the habit - a critical step for people with heart disease.
Many people have been successful with a drug called varenicline (Chantix), which acts directly on the brain to interfere with nicotine dependence. Doctors recently became concerned when an analysis of existing studies on varenicline published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal concluded that the drug posed a significant risk of serious cardiovascular events.
Dr. Nancy Rigotti, director of the Tobacco Research and Treatment Center at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor at Harvard Medical School, is among the many physicians who questioned this conclusion. Rigotti and her colleagues conducted the largest study on varenicline to date, which was published in Circulation in 2010. The study involved more than 700 smokers with stable cardiovascular disease, who took the drug for 12 weeks. One year later, the research team found no increased rate of heart attack or death from cardiovascular or other cause.
"We found no changes in blood pressure or heart rate to suggest there was a mechanism that would cause cardiovascular events," says Rigotti.
How could two researchers reach such different conclusions? The answer may lie in the method used to analyze the data. A third researcher who questioned the CMAJ study repeated the analysis using a different statistical method and found nothing to be concerned about.
But varenicline is a drug, and any possible risks incurred by using it must be balanced against the known benefits of quitting smoking. Here, the benefits are clear.
"Of all things we consider essential after a heart attack, smoking cessation is as important - or more important - than anything else. If you quit smoking, your risk of cardiac death will drop 37 percent," says Rigotti.

WBB Loses Close MAC Game At Home To Eastern Michigan
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State University women's basketball team (11-14, 6-8 MAC) lost a hard fought battle to Eastern Michigan (15-10, 5-9 MAC) Sunday afternoon in Worthen Arena by a score of 62-60.
For the game sophomore forward Nathalie Fontaine led the Cardinals with her fourth double-double of the season and ninth of her career. Fontaine scored 16 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. Junior Shelbie Justice chipped in a 13 point performance while teammate Renee Bennett ended the day with 10 points and seven rebounds.
Brittany Carter opened the second half with a three pointer; the Cardinals would then quickly build a seven point advantage (49-42) over the Eagles after putting together a 13-6 run over the first 10 minutes of the half. Eastern Michigan would fight its way back with a 9-0 run of its own to take the 51-49 lead over Ball State with 8:11 left to play.
After both teams traded baskets over the course of the next three minutes, Desyree Thomas would knock down a three point basket for the Eagles at the 4:11 mark which would put Eastern Michigan up by three (57-54). Ball State would stay close to the Eagles, trailing by only one point (61-60) after a layup by Woody with 39 seconds remaining. The Cardinals were forced to foul the Eagles, Eastern Michigan would hit a free throw to seal the victory.
Eastern Michigan started the game off with a 20-10 run by the 10:56 mark in the first half. Ball State would then answer with a 5-0 run to cut the Eagles lead to five (20-15) at the 9:59 mark after back-to-back baskets from Justice and Fontaine.
After that, the Eagles continued to control the first half eventually building an 11-point (33-22) advantage over the Cardinals at the 4:41 mark. Ball State would end the half with a 7-0 run to only trail Eastern Michigan by three (36-33).
The Ball State women's basketball team continues Mid-American Conference action with a two-game road trip to Central Michigan (2/27) and Western Michigan (3/1).

HANOVERTON - With the United preparing to face the fourth-ranked Orrville in tonight's regional semifinal girls basketball matchup, many are anxious to see what differences the two teams have on the basketball floor. The answer could be not much.
Both teams enter the game with 24-2 records. They also hold long winning streaks entering the game Orrville has won 17 straight, while United has a school-record 16 consecutive wins. Both teams are also searching for their first state championship.
Beyond the stat sheets, United and Orrville play a similar style of basketball.
"They're very like us," United coach Sam Mathias. "They love to run up and down the floor and score in bunches, but they also use defensive pressure to force second-chance shots."
The Red Riders compete in the Ohio Cardinal Conference. They finished conference play at 11-2, with both of their losses coming to league champion Millersburg West Holmes. West Holmes is ranked third in the Division II state poll and was the state runner-up last season..
Orrville is led by senior guard Hannah Plybon, a prized University of Akron recruit and a three-time first-team All-Ohioan. Plybon averages 24.6 points and scored her 2,000th career point Saturday in the Red Riders' 58-51 district championship victory over Canton Central Catholic, their second district title in the past three years. Plybon has scored 639 points this season, second most in school history.
"They're very athletic, very fast. The guard they have is really good." United guard Emily Zehentbauer said. "There's no room to be nervous though."
Coaching Orrville is Mark Alberts Sr. Alberts has 33 years of coaching experience in boys basketball Danville, Fredricktown and Wooster as well as five years as Orrville's girls basketball coach. He plans to retire after the season. Alberts has 543 career wins. The Red Riders' win in the district championship marked 100 victories for Alberts while at Orrville.
Orrville has a record of 597-310 in 34 seasons of girls basketball. Just like United, the 24 wins Orrville accumulated this season are the most in school history.
United is led by the senior Zeheutbauer, who scores 15.4 points per game this regular season. Senior Courtney Hydrick follows at 11.0 points and junior Mackenzie Gatchel at 9.8 points.
This is United's second straight regional semifinal appearance. Last year, the Golden Eagles fell 45-29 to Smithville.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in Newborns
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in Newborns
|If the opening at the top of the stomach is too relaxed, stomach acid and other fluid can go up the tube (esophagus) that leads to the throat.
Reflux happens when gas or liquid from the stomach comes up the esophagus. It can cause babies to "spit up." All babies have reflux from time to time. This is because in babies the muscle that opens and closes the top of the stomach is very relaxed. It opens easily, so gas and fluid tend to escape. Babies with severe reflux have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A baby with GERD may spit up too much and not get enough nourishment from food. The baby can also aspirate (breathe in) spit-up liquid. This can cause problems with the baby's breathing.
When Does Reflux Need Treatment?
Reflux is treated if the baby:
Has apnea (breathing that stops for 15–20 seconds at a time).
Is growing poorly.
Develops pneumonia or breathing difficulties from breathing in spit-up liquid.
Is vomiting blood.
|Propping a baby up after feeding helps keep fluid from traveling up from the stomach.
How Is Reflux Treated?
Feeding changes. This may include feeding smaller amounts more often, and burping more often during feedings. In other cases, allowing more time between feedings may help.
Propping the baby up after feeding. For 30 minutes after feeding, the baby is positioned with the head higher than the stomach. In most cases, the baby is laid prone (on the stomach). NOTE: It is okay to lay the baby prone in the NICU because the baby is being monitored. But this may not be the best position after the baby goes home. Unless told otherwise, once home you should put the baby to bed on his back or side to help prevent SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
Medications. This may include medications to decrease the acidity of the stomach. This keeps the stomach acids from damaging the esophagus. Other medications may be used to speed up digestion, so food passes out of the stomach quicker.
Surgery. In severe cases, a surgery called fundoplication may be performed. This creates an artificial valve at the top of the stomach. Part of the stomach is wrapped around the esophagus and secured with sutures. When the stomach is relaxed and empty, food can pass through. When the stomach is full, pressure closes the valve.
What Are the Long-Term Effects?
In most cases, reflux gets better over time and causes no long-term problems.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Divorce Is Headed to Trial
A judge ruled that their case – in which Humphries alleges that Kardashian committed fraud by never intending to be married – is ready for trial.
"[Humphries] has had more than adequate time to prepare," L.A. Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney stated during the Friday hearing. A trial date of May 6 was set. Neither Kardashian nor Humphries were present in court on Friday.
The NBA star's attorney, Marshall Waller – who had filed papers Thursday to be removed from the case – has long claimed difficulty in gathering evidence from various entertainment companies that work with Kardashian.
Kardashian, whose baby with Kanye West is due in July, has denied Humphries's claims, saying she's been legally "handcuffed" to him ever since they split.
"We want a trial because that's the only way this will end," Kardashian's lawyer Laura Wasser previously told PEOPLE. "There was no fraud. They have no case."
Legal experts say Humphries's chances of winning an annulment based on fraud is a long shot.
By facing off in a trial, Kardashian could potentially win her goal of being divorced from Humphries before her baby's due date.
Both Kardashian and Humphries were ordered to appear in person for an April 12 hearing for a last-ditch attempt to settle the case.
"Every case is capable of settling before trial," Waller told PEOPLE at an earlier hearing.

Ever bowled with a Muslim? Why not? Negin Farsad wants to know. The comedian and filmmaker's new documentary The Muslims Are Coming! follows a group of Muslim-American comedians as they travel through Middle America setting up street actions — Hug a Muslim, Bowl with a Muslim, Ask a Muslim — skewering stereotypes and turning Islamophobia into Muslim love. Now on the last leg of her tour promoting the US theatrical launch of the film, Farsad tells the TED Blog how her lifelong passion for social justice led her from working as an intern for Hillary Clinton to a job as a policy advisor for the city of New York — to creating shows for Comedy Central, filming rapping nerds and making sure everyone has hugged a Muslim.
After your first TED conference in 2013, you wrote a hilarious piece about the experience, how you felt alienated from it. Why?
It's so big, so lofty, and there's so much innovation — and I am a comedian. Someone else's "innovations in mummification processes" is my fart jokes. I mean, social justice comedy is my main thing. So, I guess I understand why I was selected for a TED Fellowship. Being the only stand-up comedian in the TED Fellows among so many other fields is one of the most interesting things about the process so far.
Above: Negin Farsad performs at Standup NY.
Tell me about yourself. Did you wake up one morning when you were a kid, and say, "I want to be a comedian"?
No, I woke up one day as a kid and I was like, "I'm going to be President of the United States! I'm going to end the racial divide, and I'm going to make healthcare available for everybody." That's what I said, when I was eleven. I'm an Iranian-American Muslim lady, and I grew up in Palm Springs, in the desert of Southern California. My parents emigrated from Iran before I was born, and severe allergies on my part as a baby are what enabled them to stay in the United States. Just a random side note. They have one of those classic immigration stories: they came with nothing, blah blah blah, learned the language, built a life, etcetera. You know, just really traumatic stuff. Stuff I don't have to do because they did it. So identity became a really large part of my life.
In high school I was a drama geek, but also president of the debate club. I went to Cornell for undergrad, and I was a double major in government and theater. Then I joined a campus sketch comedy troupe. I really started to identify with the black struggle, the Latino struggle, with race politics and policy in general. So my commitment to public policy and public services has been around forever. I moved to New York, and I started another sketch comedy troupe, and I began excelling in comedy. Even still, I thought this was just a hobby I'd outgrow. "You must outgrow it, because you have to be a public servant." So I went to grad school for African American studies and public policy as a dual degree at Columbia.
I ended up interning for Charles Rangel and Hillary Clinton. I really believed in, and still do believe in, that kind of work. It was valuable seeing people firsthand who are doing really good work, and I became even more emotionally committed to it. Once I graduated from grad school, I got a job with the New York City Campaign Finance Board and I would run numbers and talk about leveling the playing field for candidates and so on. It's a really great program, and an example for what campaign finance can really be nationally.
But I had this nagging, horrible feeling like I just didn't want to do it. Meanwhile, I was performing stand-up every night. By day, I'd go to city council meetings, dealing with really serious public servants. At a certain point, it just felt inappropriate, you know what I mean?
Is the passion for policy still there?
The passion's still there, but I couldn't be a part of the execution from a policy end. And I thought that's what I always wanted to do — that I wanted to run for office. Then I realized, I think my skills are better used in a different way, which is to fold those things into my comedy.
And so began the Era of Parental Disappointment — my comedy career, a field that is horribly unstable and that half the time people don't even view as a real art. It's just one of these things where people are like, "Well you just go up there and wing it, right? It's no big deal." No, this takes years and years and years of boot-camp style, in-the-field training. And you're never done training, because you always have to develop new material, you always have to test it and you always have to put yourself through the wringer. It can be seriously demoralizing. And then half the time you don't get paid.

Oops, something didn't work.
I absolutely agree with the government analogy between Apple and Microsoft (or really most every other corp). I've personally used USSR as the comparison, but China is probably the more accurate choice.
Good discussion folks. I think I'll be adding this podshow to my favourites.

South Carolina Electric & Gas is urging business and residential customers to be aware of scam artists posing as SCE&G employees.
A number of customers have reported instances of individuals portraying themselves as SCE&G employees over the phone. In several instances, the individuals are requesting that customers purchase a payment card from a local convenience or drug store and then call back with the card's information for immediate bill payment.
Important tips to keep in mind:
When SCE&G employees call concerning an unpaid bill, they identify themselves. If customers are unsure of the caller's identity, that identity can be verified by calling Customer Service at 1-800-251-7234.SCE&G does not ask customers to purchase payment cards from local convenience or drug stores for bill payment purposes. Bill payments are accepted at SCE&G business offices, by mail, authorized payment agencies, online or through SCE&G's phone payment provider, BillMatrix, by calling 1-800-450-9160.SCE&G typically notifies customers by phone or in writing before an employee is scheduled to arrive at their home to perform any type of work inside the home.SCE&G field employees are identified by their blue SCE&G uniforms, a white company ID badge with a photo and marked SCE&G truck.If someone arrives unannounced or does not have company identification and introduces themselves as an SCE&G employee, the company recommends calling Customer Service at 1-800-251-7234 for verification or dialing 911 if they feel threatened.Keep your family and your personal information safe. Do not give in to high pressure tactics over the phone for financial information or in person to gain access into your home."We encourage our customers to call us if they have any concerns about their accounts," said Molly Morris, general manager of customer service for SCE&G.
If someone believes they have been a victim of this scam, Morris recommends calling SCE&G's customer service department at 1-800-251-7234.

It was a big night for the boy band on Wednesday, when the heartthrobs attended the BRIT Awards.
After performing their new single "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)" to benefit Comic Relief – a new version of Blondie's hit song – Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne made history when they were awarded with the BRIT Awards' first ever global success prize.
Once the Awards finished, the group celebrated alongside SYCO label boss Simon Cowell at Sony's after-party at the Arts Club in London, where they spent the night relaxing and chatting with friends.
While The X Factor judge held court with a group of blondes near the bar after midnight, Styles – who took his mom as his date – jumped on a couch to dance and take photos. Meanwhile, Tomlinson only had eyes for girlfriend Eleanor Calder, who arrived at the soiree later in the evening.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel also made an appearance – showing up just before 3 a.m. after Timberlake's BRITs performance and private concert.
Just hours after saying goodnight, One Direction released the music video for "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)," which the band filmed themselves while on tour, visiting Africa and in the United Kingdom, where they got British Prime Minister David Cameron to make a cameo.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- St. Petersburg Police are looking for a car that hit and killed a pedestrian early Sunday morning.
Police say a little after 3 a.m., a man -- identified Wednesday as 24-year-old Michael Sproul -- was hit by a car described by witnesses as a newer model, black Chevrolet Impala near the north crosswalk at the intersection of 5th Avenue South and 4th Street.
Police say it appears the car tried to stop, but hit Sproul, sending him onto the hood and into the windshield before being projected onto the pavement. The vehicle then left the scene.
Pinellas County, Florida -- Numbers released by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Wednesday show crime last year saw a 5.8% decrease in the most serious crimes and a 5% drop in the overall crime rate.
This marks the fifth consecutive year with a decrease in the most serious crimes for the area, with an overall five-year decrease of 23.8%.
PCSO investigated 17 homicides in 2012, which was one of highest number of homicides in recent years and in 2013 that number dropped to 6, which is one of the lowest in recent years accounting for the 64% reduction.
St. Petersburg, Florida -- The man wanted in the stun gun robbery outside a Tampa pharmacy is also being sought in the same style robbery at a St. Pete ATM.
St. Pete Police say on Feb. 28 around 6:30 p.m. a woman was approached from behind by an Hispanic man who demanded she withdraw all of her money.
He then began pushing buttons on the machine trying to withdraw funds from her account. The two began to struggle and the robber pulled out a stun gun and zapped her in the leg.
St. Petersburg, Florida -- Police need the public's help identifying a burglary suspect wearing all purple.
St. Pete police say the man dubbed the "purple burglar" and an accomplice burglarized two homes in close proximity to each other on the same day.
PHOTOS: 'Purple burglar,' accomplice hit two St. Pete homes
St. Petersburg, Florida -- Two men arrested Thursday for carjacking an elderly woman and leading police on a car chase on Thursday made their first appearance in court Friday.
St. Pete Police say Travonte Banks and Savon Hunter are the men are behind a carjacking scheme that occurred in broad daylight near 21st Avenue N. and 7th Street N.
Dunedin, Florida -- A 19-year-old man who broke into a Dunedin home was arrested Friday morning, but not without putting up a fight against a deputy and his K-9.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office says they received a report of a man breaking into a home in the 1200 block of Belcher Road around 10:30 a.m. After failed attempts to get the suspect, later identified as Ryan Packer, to come out on his own, deputies were let inside by the homeowner.
St. Petersburg, Florida -- Two men were caught Thursday evening shortly after they carjacked an elderly woman and sparked a pursuit that caused several accidents.
St. Pete Police say around 4:15 p.m., a 91-year-old woman was driving her Toyota Venza at 23rd Avenue North and 7th Street when two men in a stolen black Dodge Ram pickup truck hit her car. When she pulled over, one of them pulled her from the car, and drove off leaving her in the road with the pickup truck following behind.
