Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Researchers have used a mouse model of lung cancer to identify a transcription factor that they say is implicated in the metastasis of lung cancer. They found that lack of NKX2-1 gene activity in the animals was associated with higher grade tumors and metastasis. Subsequent analysis of the genetic profiles of human lung tumors confirmed that lack of NKX2-1 was associated with higher death rates.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers and their colleagues subsequently showed that NKX2-1 essentially represses HMGA2 in adult tissues. HMGA2 is highly expressed in embryonic lung tissue but is not normally expressed in any adult lung tissues. The new research found that when the transcription factor gene is switched off, HMGA2 essentially becomes active and increases the ability of lung cancer to seed metastases.
This suggestion was supported by the observation that transplanted tumor cells in which HMGA2 was knocked out were far less aggressive than those in which HMGA2 was active. The MIT team, led by Tyler Jacks, Ph.D., director of the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, reports its findings in Nature in a paper titled "Suppression of lung adenocarcinoma progression by Nkx2-1."
Despite the high prevalence and poor outcome of patients with metastatic lung cancer, the mechanisms of tumor progression and metastasis remain largely uncharacterized, the authors note. To investigate the potential mechanisms further, the researchers studied a mouse model engineered with a deleted p53 tumor suppressor gene and a mutant Kras gene. They found that while all the mice developed tumors, only some of the cancers metastasized. It was the absence of NKX2-1 activity that was the striking difference between the two types of tumor, claims Monte Winslow, Ph.D., co-researcher at the Koch Institute.
The subsequent discovery that NKX2-1 normally acts to repress HMGA2 provides a potential new therapeutic target for preventing lung cancer metastasis, the researchers suggest. Developing drugs that switch genes off, in this case HMGA2, is a relatively more feasible prospect than developing candidates capable of turning the NKX2-1 gene back on.
In the meantime, analysing patients' tumors to see whether NKX2-1 is active could give some indication of disease prognosis. "the sad reality is that if you could tell a patient whether their cancer has turned down this gene, you would know they will have a worse outcome, but it wouldn't change the treatment," Dr. Winslow admits.
The MIT team is now investigating other types of cancer to see if NKX2-1 or HMGA2 have the same role in metastasis. "It's great to find something that's important in lung cancer metastasis, but it would be even better if it controlled metastasis in even a subset of other cancer types," Dr Winslow notes.

The sex act of being balls deep in her from behind in the doggy style position. Keeping your left knee down behind her left leg and then while still impaling her bring your right foot around and put it on the base of her skull. Once this is accomplished shove her head down with your foot and pin her down and fuck hard until finished.
Holy shit, did you see Jim and Kelly doing the Red Dragon on the dance floor at the prom. Kelly was all twisted up in the game.

Malleable Balance of Market Practices and Fairness Constraints
Andrew Askland
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Journal of Business Ethics, Vol. 28, p. 285, 2000
Some apologies for market economic systems excuse their various shortcomings as the unavoidable cost of their benefits. Prospering markets entail unfairness. If unfair conditions and practices do not ground a market system, then they inevitably arise as the system develops. This position fuels a reluctance to implement fairness inspired constraints because they contradict an economy's normal operations. Fairness concerns are rendered optional, pursued when they do not unduly burden market operations. The position of this paper is that markets operate and prosper with significant fairness constraints. Some constraints are grafted onto the market model and function as constitutive components. These constraints mostly represent shared views about impartial procedures. Other constraints express commitments that are independent of the market, grounded in distinct criteria of evaluation. This paper argues (1) that many fairness constraints are consistent with the market model and (2) that those constraints which are not reflect commitments as vital as market commitments. Variable balances of these commitments are sustainable in practice. Conventional practice may tolerate market operations that eclipse specific fairness expectations, but the balance can be recalibrated. Current limits upon market practices are often described as natural fits with the market. These descriptions ignore the many changes that have been gradually adopted by market systems to accommodate fairness concerns. Despite complacency about the prevailing balance, further modifications are sustainable. The crucial elements of a market system, i.e., those which promote efficiency, protect personal liberties, ground stability, enhance outputs, etc., can persist through the modifications.

Wellington's entertainment heartland is centred on Courtenay Place and adjacent Cuba Street. Named after an emigrant ship (not the island after which the ship was christened, despite the Cuban-themed establishments in this part of town), Cuba Street and its offshoots comprise Wellington's "alternative" district, with secondhand bookshops, vintage record stores, retro and emerging-designer fashion outlets, quirky cafés, and hip bars and restaurants. Between Dixon and Ghuznee streets, Cuba Street's colourful and iconic Bucket Fountain was installed in 1969 and still splashes unsuspecting passers-by.

Despite fans' wishes for the two to become an item, the costars are just friends, Gordon-Levitt, 31, insists in the September issue of Playboy .
"We've been friends for 10 years. She loves movies, music and art, and she's incredibly knowledgeable about that stuff," he says.
"She's turned me on to so many movies and so much good music. It's fun just so have conversations, watch movies with her."
Courtesy Playboy / Justin Stephens
Although Gordon-Levitt landed a role on 3rd Rock from the Sun at an early age – "I played baseball, did gymnastics, took piano lessons and started acting as just another one of the things I did. I wasn't pressured into it. But it was acting I loved," he says – it was his love of cinema that guided the actor toward a career on the silver screen.
"As a teenager in the 1990s I loved the spike of indie films coming through Sundance, and films like Pulp Fiction, Big Night, Sling Blade, Trees Lounge and Swingers," says Gordon-Levitt, who this summer is being seen in The Dark Knight Rises and in November will be in Lincoln, with Daniel Day-Lewis.
"I went to school, quit acting for a while, and when I came back everyone wanted me to do another TV show and make more money. I didn't want to," he goes on to say.
"I made a decision that I was only going to do work that inspired me creatively, not what was supposed to be good for my career."

Women & Children's Hospital announced today a $5 million gift from Buffalo-area businessman Sal H. Alfiero to help construct a new pediatric hospital on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
The gift is the largest personal donation in a $40 million fundraising campaign for the proposed $200 million facility, which will go up at Ellicott and High streets, across from and connected by a walkway to Buffalo General Medical Center.
Alfiero is the founder and former chairman of Mark IV Industries, an automotive components manufacturer.
Alfiero and his family have been active at Women & Children's Hospital for many years and were a major donor in the 1990s toward renovation of the pediatric intensive care unit, which was renamed the Alfiero Family Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
So far, $21.5 million has been raised toward the $40 million fundraising goal.
In recent months, the John R. Oishei Foundation donated $10 million for the project, and the Children's Guild Foundation pledged $2 million for the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital.
Ground-breaking is expected in the spring, and completion is expected in early 2016.
Women & Children's is moving from its longtime Bryant Street location in the Elmwood Village, and the new facility will be renamed the John R. Oishei Children's Hospital.
Women & Children's Hospital and Buffalo General Medical Center are operated by Kaleida Health.
Plans for the 10-floor hospital include a range of specialized pediatric services and a family resource center. A Women's Pavilion will house labor and delivery, postpartum care, the regional perinatal center for high-risk pregnancies and a women's health center for prenatal and gynecological care.
In addition, officials announced earlier this month that Kaleida Health and Roswell Park Cancer Institute will combine services they now provide in separate locations to care for young patients with cancer and blood diseases on one floor of the hospital.
The children's hospital, at the urging of its physicians, announced in 2010 its intention to move to the medical campus.
Officials have said they want a smaller, more efficient facility that better accommodates modern health care practices for women and children and that can benefit from proximity to Buffalo General Medical Center.

hey anyone read the twlight series. i have all of them i just like talking about it. show mme your veiw about it or something. if you like edward or jacob. if you have only read one thats still good. k k ttyl.
I heard it was a good book too read
I've read Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse and so far I just love the story and the characters, overall I prefer Edward to Jacob actually Edward was kinda confusing at first because you don't understand why he seems to hate her and then ou find out he really likes her and yea. I thought Jacob was cooler before he changed into a werewolf though he was alot nicer... except for Esme I like all the vampires, well I don't dislike her but I just thought that Esme seemed a little empty kinda like she was there but wasn't, actually I don't think she was around often... I also thought it was sad when they killed that newborn Bree in Eclipse, I kinda wanted her to live... In life theres no such thing as black and white its all grey.
I really like New Moon
But I have never read it."Bust through the heveans with your Drill!
iv read all four and i love edward cullen the serise is awesome
Are SOOO EXPENSIVE ) So Yea... I Maybe A Vampire Fan But Im More Of A Werewolf Wanna Be (Just A Example Of That Im More Of A Werewolf Fan!) "Keyblade Wielders Will You Collect More Hearts For Me?"
after all I'm a big fan of anything vampire... just ask Gin... that was a topic that we discussed last night...Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana OTAKU SIFU"Innoscence Activate!"
"Me?... Evil?...Never"~ Hell UserOtaku God
There's like 400+ pages to read and it's too long to finish reading. If only there was a manga version of the Twilight movie. What do you guys think? ^_^
"Me?... Evil?...Never"~ Hell UserOtaku God
Yup yup yup! That would be awesome!
..and I still have to read the last book...But I really want to get the Twlight books...even if they are 400+ pages long. If its a good story then I don't care if it is over 400 pages. *smiles* Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana OTAKU ELITE"Innoscence Activate!"
Yeah, I've read all the Twilight books. I've also read The Host, which I think was a lot better than Twilight. Just because I said that don't anybody kill me, please. Its just what I think.
"Me?... Evil?...Never"~ Hell UserOtaku God
Never heard ot The Host... but anything about vampires it right up my alley...heheheDewa Mata,Niji-Hana Otaku Sovereign"Innoscence Activate!"
it was sooo awesome! Not I need to get the next one... I can't wait to see what happens in it...Edward Cullen is so cool and my favorite character so far... Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate"
I heard that the book was really good, but the movie was going to have so many differences that it would make everyone angry who did read the book. (Then the people I heard from began arguing some sort of junk about Harry Potter? 10 minutes of arguing about something about harry potter...)
Just what does tha thave to do with Twilight anyway? Nothing as far as I can tell... I'm going to see the movie... I never take someone's opinion about a movie...especially when it hasn't even been released yet... So I will let you know what I think of it, ok. I bet it will be really good and very close to the book, as just about all movies are that were based on a book... Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate"
i hated it "Shinso slay them all"
he tries so hard to keep bella safe, backfires occasionally, but the whole, he wasn't going to live without her thing he has to be givcen credit for. Jacob seems like the big broher type and edward deffinantly is not. i feel kinda bad or jacob though, he loves bella, but bella loves edward."Someone once told me you can't put a price on human life, although when push comes to shove the price suddenly becomes negotiable"
I've read all 4 books, and they were pretty good. "My heart is like a bird that has lost its wings and cannot fly. Anxiously seeking its lost wings, my heart is searching resolutely for you."

Buckhannon is one of five communities in West Virginia identified by economic and community development group, Vision Shared, to pilot a program called the Entrepreneurs' Cafe.
The program aims to provide micro-funding awards to entrepreneurs at the local level. It is designed to replicate a successful micro-funding program in Huntington called Cafe Huntington.
Vision Shared will co-host a cafe launch event at C.J. Maggie's in Buckhannon at 6 p.m. Sept. 18. During the event local entrepreneurs are invited to "pitch" their idea or project for funding. Attendees pay $10 for a meal, the opportunity to hear small business development ideas and vote on their favorite project. The winning entrepreneur receives the proceeds from the purchase of meals and a special cash award provided by Vision Shared for the launch event.
"The success of Cafe Huntington and its organizers willingness to help Vision Shared develop a pilot program spurs our ability to facilitate these programs around the state," said Rebecca McPhail Randolph, president of Vision Shared.
The Entrepreneurs' Cafe program is part of a long-term plan to develop the entrepreneurial climate in West Virginia by Vision Shared. In May 2012 the organization released a paper with recommendations for encouraging economic growth and development through entrepreneurial education and activity. The paper is available at www.visionshared.com.
For more information about the event, anyone interested can visit www.revWV.com or call Steve Foster or Melodie Stemple at 304-472-1757.

Pete Wentz and girlfriend Meagan Camper brought home a 10-week-old Vizsla puppy this month, and Wentz's son Bronx, who turns 4 in November, got to name his new little brother, Wentz's rep tells PEOPLE.
In a nod to the children's book characters, The Berenstain Bears, Bronx named the floppy-eared pooch Bearenstain.
"Meet Bearenstain the new puppy," Camper Tweeted on Saturday. That same day, Camper, along with Bearenstain, Bronx and Wentz, were spotted leaving a pet store together.
Wentz took his family into consideration when choosing the breed; Vizslas are known to be tolerant of young children.
Bronx is already familiar with dogs thanks to mom Ashlee Simpson, who welcomed a French bulldog puppy named Alabama in May.
After a bumpy start, Bronx is now "so in love with her," Simpson told PEOPLE. "It's great."

Students volunteer for youth literacy initiative
Several Penn State Berks students enrolled in the Childhood and Early Education degree program have volunteered for the United Way's new reading initiative called "Ready. Set. Read!," a community program centered on one core mission: to ensure reading proficiency for students by the end of third grade. The initiative is a collaborative effort between the United Way of Berks County, the educational community, business, and community organizations.
The pilot volunteer tutoring program is currently underway in Reading and Muhlenberg school districts. Penn State Berks student volunteers, along with community volunteers, have been trained as tutors and are providing supplemental instruction to identified second graders. The tutors meet with second-grade students each week to read together.
Some of the Penn State students had personal reasons for volunteering for the program.
"The Ready. Set. Read! program serves students in the Reading School District, where Hispanics are the majority," stated Leilani Nenadich. "As a Latina, I find it imperative to give back to the Latino community. I feel honored to be a part of such a program that will benefit our youth's reading proficiency."
"I am extremely honored to be part of such a noble cause and help the youth of the Reading School District," commented student tutor Ryan Wendler.
"The program teaches me how to do one-on-one stuff with kids when I become a teacher," added Kaley Kinek, Penn State Berks student tutor.
A total of 16 Penn State Berks students volunteered for the initiative. They include:Seniors
Veronica Barbiero, Marlton, NJ;
Shakeia Barron, Newark, NJ;
Christine Lambert, Reading;
Amanda Reinert, Schuylkill Haven;
Jessica Saniga, Orwigsburg
Brittany Teague, Hershey
Katarina Zirkelbach, Telford
Kaley Kinek, Blandon
First-year Students
Colleen Byrd, Douglassville;
Kerry Guertin, Ottsville;
Angela Koval, Schnecksville;
Alexa Lipari, Dingmans Ferry;
Leilani Nenadich-Gonzalez, Philadelphia;
Mallory Pearson, Lower Gwynedd;
Alayna Snyder, Annville;
Ryan Wendler, Palmyra
"The education students at Penn State Berks who volunteer for this initiative have embraced this opportunity in many ways," according to Toni Vanino, Instructor in Language/Literacy Education at Penn State Berks who coordinated the Penn State Berks student volunteers. "They truly value working with early learners on their literacy skills and understand the significance of giving to the community. These positive role models aspire to make a difference."
Local data based on recent PSSA scores show that over 25 percent of Berks County third graders are not reading proficiently. The goal of the program is for 90 percent of the county's third-graders to reach reading proficiency by 2013.
According to United Way President Tammy White, reading proficiency by the end of the third grade is a proven indicator of academic and long-term success, benefitting students and the community alike.
Stella Leonti, United Way's Director of Education, said the initiative will focus on several areas to improve early-grade reading. Volunteers will work with families and caregivers, showing how they can help children understand the value of reading.
The Ready. Set. Read! program will employ a comprehensive and collaborative approach. "This is a crucial issue. We all have a stake in education, as it is the issue that drives the success of individuals, families, and ultimately our community. We all recognize when you improve education, you improve the community, and vice versa," says Tammy White, president of United Way of Berks County.

How versatile are hawkbill knives? Do they make decent self defense knives? Or are they just a knife for cutting cord & rope ect. Are they useful for anything else? Would you use one for S.D.?

Sorry but I'm not looking to use a knife for sd, a gun is with me everywhere I go. With a backup mag, depending on the gun it's roughly 16ish rounds. If I need a knife after using all my rounds, I'm in some doodoo.
A knife maeks you get way to close to an attacker, and at that point it doesn't matter the shape of the blade. If you are truly looking at getting a blade with the mindset of sd, I'd get fixed blade so you don't have to worry about fine motor movement.
May 22, 2014, 04:53 PM
I'm not looking to use a knife for sd I agree. And yet, this subforum is called non-firearm weapons.
Too bad there's not a subforum simply for knives.
May 22, 2014, 05:15 PM
That's why this was posted here. I to would use a firearm instead of a knife. Firearms cannot be carried someplaces knives can. I was woundering what others thought of this style of knife. As the increased interest in them shows. I.E.the Krimbits, Spyderco Hawkbills ect.
Sam Cade

How versatile are hawkbill knives? Do they make decent self defense knives?
For very small knives a blade with a lot of forward curve is a way of getting more cutting edge into a given length with the added benefit of preventing the medium being cut from sliding away from the edge.
The disadvantage is obvious in that the extreme drop of the tip makes stabbing either difficult or impossible.
You can see how lying supine with an assailant in full mount (hereafter to be known as The Zimmerman Position) it would be more advantageous to administer stabs than offer a back scratching. ;)
Sam Cade
May 22, 2014, 05:46 PM
Too bad there's not a subforum simply for knives.
Y'know,a knife specific subforum would probably draw more traffic than Non-firearm weapons.
Maybe "Knives and Blades" being separate.
I'll float it in Staff.
May 22, 2014, 06:13 PM
I agree! A knife subforum would be nice as they predominant this one. There are so many S.D.items & styles out there. But Gun &Knives seem to be the top 2 items discussed. I agree with your point about stabbing. That is why I asked this question. These knives seem to be becomeing more popular. I am certainly seeing more of them. The Krimbits for one & the Spyderco matriarch 2, civilian ect. Are they a serious knife for what they are S.D.? Or just a fad.
May 22, 2014, 07:17 PM
Pretty versatile for the hawk. For SD I can't see one being useful.
May 22, 2014, 07:27 PM
They are sure hard to sharpen using conventional methods too!
The inside curve is in all the wrong places.
Sam Cade
May 22, 2014, 07:48 PM
For SD I can't see one being useful.
A forward recurve is the optimal blade shape for maximum efficacy on a cut into flexible, unsupported medium.
The real question is, "Do you want/need your knife to do anything else?"
May 23, 2014, 03:14 PM
A friend who was a army Ranger & I decided to try some experiments with some hawkbill knives. We used a cardboard box about 4'long & about 12"×14" size. We both took turns We put our backs against the floor & the other person held the box. We used his Spyderco Tasman & a Spyderco Harpy . The object was to see if we could inflect a decent stab wound to the box! But only from the bottom or side! Also slashing wounds! Both of us were able to inflect stab wounds & slashing wounds. We found that as you stabbed into the box, that by rotating your hand as you thrust into the box, we could produce some significant stab wounds! Slashing was also possible & effective. This was by no means a scientific test. But it is interesting & something I will be testing more about. I do think other designs work much better & willnot depend on one for S.D.! That Mayerco looks like it would work.

I decided to try Spyderco's BYRD line. I know most here believe the hawkbill knives to be just a line cutting tool & not for SD. I am seeing a trend to use them as SD knives. I picked up a BYRD CROSSBILL HAWKBILL KNIFE
It had to be ordered so I should have it by next week & will let you know about it. If I can get someone who knows how to add pictures to my post I will do so.

I've been using my Spydie Tasman Salt for 9+ years now as a chore knife & EDC. The design is useful and reliable, as it always presents a point & cutting surface towards the task at hand. Hawkbills naturally keep cutting into the object with draw cuts due to the downwards-turning edge, while standard blade profiles have a tendency to want to work itself out unless you keep applying pressure. The hawkbill wants to stay inside the object, which is useful if your hands slip due to tiredness or weather.
It can handle SD applications if you know what you're doing. Don't plan on going for major organs, but my Spydie ought to easily pierce 1-2", which would be the type of control & distraction stabs I'd use with my knife. It certainly will cut & rip. (I'd still prefer 12ga.)
Sharpening? Easy with a rod or Sharpmaker, just draw the blade down the sharpener same as you would a standard profile knife.
June 7, 2014, 10:39 PM
My Mom carried a long bolster Barlow hawk bill in the late 1960's both for general use and with an eye toward SD. Of course we had few experts in those days to tell us that slashing is ineffective.
I knew a guy at that time that toted around a "linoleum knife" which was a fixed hawk bill. It very efficiently opened someone from ear to ear from the front one evening and that assault stopped right there, thank you very much.
Taking your time with a round file or steel worked to sharpen hawk bills and I would bet one of the round ceramic sticks could dress one up right nice.

I have a old Case linoleum Hawkbill that was my dad's. It was the first one I had ever seen. Dad always kept it sharp & said it would cut someone up bad if you used it for S.D.! He never used it for that reason or carried it.

Thanks for that link Fred! I was looking at some knife pictures online the other night and saw a picture of about 16 knives & saw something that looked alot like those talons. But none were marked. Now I know what they were. That was a great article along with a pretty cool knife! I also saw some BYRD knives that had been modified by people to work in the same manner! I will look around for a copy of that Talon though!
June 11, 2014, 01:13 PM
I know that Spyderco (Civilian one-handed folder (http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=60)) and Al Mar (Backup 2 fixed blade (http://www.almarknives.com/product/backup/)) make "hawksbill" style knives specifically for SD use. I believe the thinking behind these blades is that an untrained fighter will normally tend to slash with a knife, and these curved blades tend to make nasty, debilitating cuts when used this way. I've tried such blades slashing against plastic bottles, carboard boxes, and heavy denim and they do seem to work well in that mode.
June 11, 2014, 04:24 PM
They are sure hard to sharpen using conventional methods too!
The inside curve is in all the wrong places.
I use my Spyderco to sharpen a hawkbill gardening knife. Not a razor edge of course but it's adequate.

I received my Byrd CROSSBILL knife today! What a deal! It is bigger than the spyderco HARPY. It looks & feels good, & is a good buy if you are looking for a knife like this. This one has the metal handles,but the next one will have the FRN handle. BYRD makes the PELICAN & the FLIGHT also. One is a sheepsfoot & the other looks like the ENDRA. I like this brand as these are well made knives. I will agree that the last thing you wont to do is get into a knife fight! But people have used them for self protection long before firearms came along! And different people used different knife styles & different knife fighting styles . I think that whatever knife style you chose, you should be able to learn to use it for work or S.D.! Yes some knives are more versatile than others! But I do consider the hawkbill to be more versatile than I had thought! And with some of the new blades coming out, I would say I am not the only one! And at this price you can modify them to your own taste! Now if I can just locate one of those Kershaw TALONS w/ can opener!

I'm new here but I'm going to throw in my $0.02.
The hawkbill and karambit style knives aren't self-defense type blades. They are offensive weaponry. Granted a blade is always useful for other cutting jobs. However a hawkbill isn't my preferred blade style.

How do you figure that?
June 11, 2014, 08:11 PM
I should have prefaced that with "In my opinion"
The only time I've seen a hawkbill style blade used was in an attack from behind. I can see it being used in a face to face fight. Just the only time I've seen it used was from behind blade tip inserted and the pulled across.
June 12, 2014, 02:50 AM
Welcome to the conversation Mr.Bear. In my looking around on the internet & speaking to other knife collectors, I found that the Spyderco 'Civilian ' was made for undercover work &as a anti-mugging knife. The 'Matriarch' &'Matriarch 2' were made as cheaper & better models. The Kershaw 'Talons' shown in F.F.'s link about Southern Narc useing a knife with similar features, show that these knives were made for 'emergency fighting'! I have carried knives for this reason when I was a police officer in case I lost control of my wepon! We all carried a knife for that reason! Certainly some of the new knives are being made for that type of use. Not all of us are into knives or have knife fighting training! I was taught to end it quick & expect to get cut, because you have to get close! We carried the best knives we could afford & we concealed them! If these designs had been around I am sure some would have used this style. Even back then, everyone had their own style of fighting & knife. I carried a Buck folder on my belt & a 6"combat knife in a concealed pocket inside of my jacket. Or in my boot. Hidden buy my pants. I think all of us has seen different styles come & go. But this style seems to have potential! I learned we can always learn something new everyday!

Cool Knifes and as Another said Hawkbills can be very nasty in a fight. I saw a guy get cut pretty bad after work one day 30 or so years ago. The little fellow was a carpet layer and the big olf just wouldn't let it go. A fight started and the carpet layers stopped it Real quick with that hawkbilled knife.
June 25, 2014, 04:04 PM
Since looking into these knives, it would seem that there are a number of companies making hawkbills! From the old pruning style to some of the newer S.D. models! I found at least 5 that are making hawkbills for S.D.! The Krimbits being the most popular. A good hawkbill from BYRD knives will cost less & have some good designs.
June 26, 2014, 11:25 AM
For my money, Hawkbills are worthless for anything with
the exception of trimming roofing materials. They are very
hard to sharpen, stabbing is out and in reality, so is
slashing. The shape of the blade makes it to easy to snag
and hold when you hit bone (skin a few deer or hogs with
one {or try} and you'll see what I mean).
Unless you're a roofer, don't waste your money on one. I
own 3 (I'm hard headed) and they are in a drawer. Taken
out and cleaned and touched up now and then and back in
the drawer they go. Worthless. :cuss:
June 28, 2014, 01:58 PM
I guess I have to disagree with you.
I've carried hawkbill knives as part of the rotation for about 10 years, 100% as a utility knife with additional thought given to use as a SD tool, including taking training from Steve Tarani in their use.
But back to your comments:
If you can cut roofing materials, why can't it be used to cut other items? -But I agree that while most are not designed to dress game, but what shape is a gut hook?
As for useful weapon, I don't know if you've heard of traditional weapons such as Kukhris and Jamibya? Kukhris may be better know as chopping tools, but Jambiyas are traditional weapons, used for slashing and stabbing. They have reinforced blades because they used to be used to pierce chainmail.
I have several "hawkbills" and while some are specialized, I also carry one in my pocket to handle daily chores.

Think about the big cats. They carry several hawkbills in each hand, so to speak. They can cause mean cuts but are primarily for grabbing and pulling prey toward those big teeth. If you had a hawkbill in one hand and a dagger in the other you might have a formable team..

I like a big one -- a brush ax -- for cutting unsupported branches. Where a machete would nick them and push them aside, the hooked blade grabs and cuts. As a weapon, such a tool would be pretty scary. That forward hook could penetrate or could hook and damage the limbs of an attacker. A small hawkbill is awesome for harvesting from the garden or for cutting other light vegetation. It can also cut tough materials like plastic, leather, etc.
To see a pretty realistic "use" of linoleum knives, see the sauna scene of "Eastern Promises." Pretty much a worst case scenario assault with knives: naked, on slick floors, unarmed against multiple attackers with blades. Scary.
An unusual blade shape will do some things very well and others poorly. Hawkbills make terrible general-use utility knives. Try using one with a cutting board, or try cleaning up saw cuts with a hawkbill (I use a very simple Mora as a woodworking knife). Hawkbills are specialized, not versatile.
I definitely prefer more conventional blade types for carry knives.

When I was a schoolboy back in the 40's, virtually every boy carried a knife to school. Various types would come into and go out of vogue. Many of the boys worked on farms and the hawk was used for suckering and cutting tobacco plants, so that was the knife that most of the farm boys carried to school. Other kids saw how wicked they looked so the hawkbill became the knife of choice until the boys discovered it was a poor choice for most of the things a boy did with his knife, It didn't whittle worth a damn, useless for mumbly peg and other knife games. Couldn't sharpen a pencil. Worthless for skinning, Couldn't even clean your grubby little fingernails. Didn't take us long to go back to our jack knives and barlows.

Become members of a larger world
To the editor:
Growing up in white America, the struggle to realize dignity and justice because of one's skin color was a distant and largely ignored footnote in my everyday life. Isn't that the sad way it is, though?
If you were not a European Jew in 1940, the Holocaust was a phantom, certainly nothing to be afraid of or concerned much about. If you are not a gay teen, then bullying and isolation is a social issue to be examined, not a daily reality to be endured.
What moves the heart to become awakened to injustice is the courage of a few to stand up for what is right and just. For all his faults-the main one being a stubborn support for the war in Vietnam-I admire President Lyndon Johnson for standing before Congress in the racially-charged environment of 1965 and echoing the anthem of the Civil Rights Movement: "We shall overcome!" Yes, he had a problem on his hands that was not going away, but I believe deep inside this tough Texan resided a sincere desire to make things right in a nation that promised liberty and justice for all.
Nothing changes one's opinion of others more than reaching beyond what one has heard about others, and finally listening to them face to face. This is what I think happened to President Johnson, as he met with Martin Luther King Jr. and other African American leaders. He wisely evaluated them to be unwavering in their cause, highly articulate, and patient enough to fight the good fight to the finish.
The annual Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday offers a brief season of reflection about our lives.
Surely all injustice has not vanished from our nation or our world since 1940 or 1964. Are we aware of what is going on in the world around us? Do we have a cause to stand for? Or, in the comfort of our homes, are we satisfied with respectable quietness, and a self-satisfied ignorance about injustice, poverty, or other social ills around us?
The greatest honor we can give the memory of Martin Luther King Jr., is to become members of a larger nation, a larger world, and light our lights of courage.

What has happened to our society?
To the editor:
I'm writing this letter due to my sadness concerning the shootings in Tucson, Ariz. What has happened to our society? Why is it that there are people who feel compelled to just take a gun and start shooting people for absolutely no reason?
Why is it that there are people who just feel that it's OK to do such a heinous act? Is it because our society lacks understanding, kindness, respect or manners for people or children that they can just walk into any type of setting and start shooting? I believe it started with the shootings at Columbine High School, and it still continues.
Something needs to be done with these individuals. Not just putting them in prison for a life sentence. That just doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent.
I don't know if all the media attention makes them feel like they have done something heroic, or that it will make society better, but, it shouldn't. I honestly think that it's time for everyone to start making their children and families come together as a strong family unit, spend quality time together, eat dinner together, go to church together, throw those cell phones away for some length of time and actually sit down as a family and talk to one another.
Manners and etiquette need to come back into our lives. Respect each person with the utmost consideration that each and every person in this United States deserves. All these barbaric acts need to stop. It needs to start somewhere.
Look at your own children tonight and start there. If your children are grown, stop and tell your husband or wife you love them, care about them, and treat them the way they should be treated. Also, remember your parents and grandparents who also need our care. Remember the song by "Crosby, Stills and Nash," which states "Teach Your Children Well." It's definitely time to start doing that.
Saddened by abandoned pets
To the editor:
Hey, you forgot your cat!
It always saddens me to see abandoned pets. One only has to walk through the park on a semi-regular basis to see an assortment of cats turned loose and fending for themselves. All of my recent pets have been recovered strays turned loose by uncaring unknown owners. I can only do so much and don't have the ability to take on your neglected responsibility.
I guess the recent residents of East Eighth Street, Salem, figured that some kindhearted person in the neighborhood would rescue their throwaway cat from the severe weather now under way.
That may be true. On the other hand, this helpless animal may face starvation, a run- in with a car or risk freezing to death on a bitter cold night.
How could you be so uncaring? What lesson are you teaching your young children? Just wondering what kind of person treats a pet as a disposable item?
When I see an abandoned pet, I always wonder who could do such a thing. Now I know.
Plow drivers do not own roads
To the editor:
I am writing this in reference to the recent accident involving a Crestview school bus and a Middleton Township snow plow truck. I have also had a personal experience with a Middleton Township snow plow on the road I live on two winters ago when the driver was in the center of the road coming toward me, eventually running me off the road into a tree, and kept driving!
He was not cited for that incident and it cost me to get my car fixed. Luckily, the bus driver nor the students in this recent accident were not seriously injured. I feel that this is something that needs to be addressed. These particular plow drivers have to realize that they do not own these roads. I see the way they drive their trucks on my road every time it snows and am not impressed one bit.
The students and families of the students on Tracy Whitacre's bus are very fortunate that they had an experienced bus driver that has the strength, compassion and calmness that was needed during their ordeal.

Press discusses Beautiful Souls, college common reading
Eyal Press, author of Beautiful Souls, discusses his book, which was the subject of the college's common reading program on Thursday, September 12, 2013, at 7:30 p.m. in the Beaver Community Center Gymnasium. This presentation is free and open to the public.
In Beautiful Souls, Press looks at the factors that cause ordinary people to behave ethically–to follow their conscience and defy authority and convention. He challenges and inspires audiences by probing vexing dilemmas that play out in everyday life. Drawing on groundbreaking research by neuroscientists and moral psychologists, Press provides concrete examples of some of history's most heroic acts of dissent, from World War II to the 2008 financial crisis. He unwraps the motivation behind following your conscience, and argues that the boldest breaches of conformity are often carried out not by radicals seeking to overthrow the system, but by true believers who cling with unusual fierceness to their convictions.
This presentation is part of the Arts and Lecture series. For more information, contact the Office of Student Life at 610-396-6076.

Hedgesville shines over Stars
February 13, 2013
HEDGESVILLE — Hedgesville coach Kelly Church summed up his team's win over Shenandoah Valley Academy, Va., Tuesday night in a few words....
Hedgesville players only graduate their kids because he has them in special ed classes.

Comparing St. James, Brooke Point, Middleburg Academy, and Mercerburg to Shenandoah makes you an idiot. St James has a top player in the nation committed to Maryland with offers from Indiana and Villanova too. Middleburg would beat Hedgesville by 5 plus. Mercersburg has one of the top scoters in the NATION in Dre Wills, both games against them were close. Mercersburg would beat Ville by 10 or more. Brooke point is 3A, along with the other teams I mentioned. Shenandoah and Berkeley Springs and Petersburg? All what..? Single A and Double A? Play like a state champ. Schedule like one. Just like Martinsburgs football team, the basketball teams schedule is always tough. It makes the team better. And ALL of Martinsburgs players who left have graduated. So DON'T bring THAT up. ALL of them will graduate this year too. Weird how Burks was kicked off at south for a 1.8, yet has a 3.8 and all at Ville. All them blocked easy classes for the basketball team. That's why they graduate so easily.

Amen!!!!!!!! Summerson I couldn't agree with you more, I as well don't reside in Berkeley County anymore, but keep up with all the teams to see how they are doing, I live in Chicago now and am proud to be from WV, I think it's amazing that our teams are doing so great and dominating the rest of the state, all these posters should be proud of every state championship that comes back to the panhandle and stop complaining about each others schedules, grow up, you don't see this type of complaining amongst high school fans!!! In Chicago.

MY gosh people... Why are we arguing over this. I was born and raised in the Eastern Panhandle. I have moved away from the area, but still consider it home. I am happy when any of our E. Panhandle kids go to states and win its a Win for the whole area. I realize and have lived the angst in the HHS MHS basketball, but people grow up this is High school sports and these are kids... I am very proud to be from Berkeley County WV, and just enjoy seeing our high school sports starting to make noise at the state level.Thats something we should all be proud of...

Hugh, for once, someone has said something that I agree with. Martinsburg, according to stats, should have won the state title. BUT, tournaments are all about how you play when you are there. HHS has taken SO much crap for winning because "Martinsburg is better, Martinsburg beat Hedgesville". Funny thing is, NO ONE ARGUES THAT! The bottom line is, Hedgesville played their hearts out at that state Tournament. They beat their teams, Martinsburg did not. It is what it is. People get on here and blast Kelly after every game, win or lose, and HHS fans, students, parents, faculty, etc get tired of the constant negativity about a Coach and a program that most of these "critics" know NOTHING about. EVERY school has their flaws, but to say that all Kelly cares about is his "ego" and his "wins" is absolute bull. He cares for his players first and foremost. Anyone who truly knows HIM, even the ones who don't always agree with him, KNOWS that.

Bailey...You're comparing Middleburg Academy (18-10) and St. James (several D1 players) to HHS playing Shenandoah Valley twice, Berkeley Springs, Champe, Broadview, Broadfording, and so on? Every team schedules a cupcake or 2 out of conference to build chemistry...but the HHS out of conference schedule is stacked with cupcakes while Dave schedules tougher teams.
The problem with using tournament champs to justify greatness is that the best team doesn't always win the tournament...ala HHS winning states last year when they weren't the best team in their area. Not to take anything away from them, but their State title doesn't mean they were better than MHS last season.

Chasmo... All completely untrue statements... Coach Church puts those kids before his OWN kids... Lord knows we aren't embarrassed of HHS or the dedicated coaching staff. But one thing is for sure. If YOU ever played for Kelly, you'd at least know how to spell "embarrassment". Geez.

Mannup : you are so absolutely correct . Church , all you are " worried " about is YOUR OWN EGO ! What a PATHETIC team to schedule - among all the others . Have you BEATEN a Triple A team this year with a winning record - please do not include Musselman , cause his schedule is as terrible as yours. I will never go see anothe HHS game as long as you are there. You and the ADM. should be totally ashamed of this schedule. There are MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAMS that would have beaten all the NOBODIES that you have destroyed ; in fact GIRLS TEAM as well.. WHAT AN EMBARRASSEMENT TO THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT @ HHS

Hey "mannup", do you even follow hoops? Martinsburg also plays teams that aren't great (BROOKE POINT, Mercersburg, Middleburg, St. James) and while you're busy worshipping Dave, Kelly IS getting kids seen by recruiters... AND THEY ARE GRADUATING!! You obviously don't know Coach Church, or you would respect what he does for his players and how much emphasis he puts on GRADUATING and furthering their EDUCATION than STATS. And I'm sure if you'd like some factual information to base your journal rants on, he or his players or their PARENTS would be glad to have a chat with you. Unless or until THAT happens, you really have no right to sound off. So... "Mannup"!!

Some people seem to forget that even with their schedule and never beating Martinsburg last year, Hedgesville won a state championship and Martinsburg couldn't get it done, stop criticizing other teams and support them, I support all yhe panhandle teams, because in the end the rest of the state still considers our teams inferior! !!!!!!!
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What a Joke, start playing quality teams like Martinsburg, they seek out quality teams to play and their coach gives his players an opportunity to be seen by other coaches with a chance of a college scholarship. That is a quality of a great coach, not just wins and lo9sses. For the last 5 years or so, you play teams with losing records so you can build your win column, this methodology does not help the players in the long run, next up for the coach of Hedgesville is the Deaf and Blind School, which is a great school, but not for basketball, this is your speed, what an embarrassement. By the way, great win!!!!!!!

A filter integrity test is a critical unit operation commonly employed in the bioprocessing industry designed to achieve the following:
There are three primary nondestructive integrity test methods that can be used both before and after filtration:
Filter integrity testing can be conducted manually or via an automated integrity test machine. The following eight tips will help reduce false failures and improve robustness and reliability:
Product specifications and integrity test methods vary by filter. Seek guidance of vendor to clarify methods and ensure proper execution of testing.
There are two types of sterilizing membrane filters based upon chemical properties: hydrophilic and hydrophobic. For hydrophobic sterilizing membrane filters, a water intrusion test (a secondary, nondestructive integrity test method) is recommended if the primary, nondestructive integrity test methods prove problematic.
Note that integrity test methods are only valid if they can be correlated with bacterial removal efficiency. Thus, forward flow, bubble point and pressure hold integrity test methods are suitable for sterilizing membrane filters with pore sizes ranging from 0.10–0.45 micron.
Manual Integrity Test:
Automated Integrity Test:
Based on pros/cons of both test methods, the automated integrity test is preferred whenever possible.
When using the automated integrity test method, ensure the temperature remains at ambient throughout the entire process. Any fluctuation in test temperature can trigger significant change in pressure and/or volume, resulting in a false failure.
Thoroughly rinse/flush the empty test housing and all related components (e.g., o-rings). It is imperative that all components utilized are free of surface tension suppression agents (e.g., oil from a new o-ring), as their presence can generate false failures.
When installing a filter in the test housing, take great care to ensure filter o-rings don't become dislodged from respective grooves. Similarly, ensure the housing sump is seated properly on the base o-ring. Proper venting is achieved when a steady stream of liquid (i.e., no air) emits from the vent.
Finally, the most common mistake that causes false integrity test failures is an inadequately saturated ("wet") filter. 3M Purification recommends one of the following methods to ensure a completely wet filter prior to conducting an integrity test:

Dr. James Cox is a board certified orthopedic surgeon with special interests and training in joint replacement surgery and shoulder surgery. He is qualified to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries and diseases. His scope of practice ranges from treatment of arthritis to pediatric orthopedics, to occupational and sports medicine.
Dr. Cox is a West Virginia native, born in Logan. He makes his home in the same Teays Valley community in which he practices. His children attend local Christian schools, and his wife, Susan, is a registered nurse and native of Barboursville. Community interests are strong in his practice.
He regularly provides orthopedic care to local school athletic programs, sponsorship for area sports teams, and community seminars on important topics such as arthritis and osteoporosis. He has hospital privileges at our local hospital, CAMC Teays Valley Hospital, as well as Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington, WV. He is often the orthopedic surgeon on emergency call at these facilities and provides quality, caring orthopedic treatment to those in need.
Dr. Cox excelled in his medical education and clinical training. He finished second in his medical class at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in 1993. He finished an internship program at Logan General Hospital with honors, and then completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Ohio University in Dayton, OH .
Dr. Cox finished orthopedic board certification examinations in the upper echelon, and now serves as an examiner for new candidates for orthopedic board certification. He remains active in academics, regularly providing orthopedic lectures at state medical society meetings, physician special interest meetings and community functions. He provides clinical training to interns, as well as medical, nursing, surgical technology, physician assistant, EMS and physical therapy students.
Dr. Cox brings much of the latest knowledge in the field of orthopedics to Teays Valley and the surrounding communities. He is certified in three of the most recent advances in orthopedic surgery: cartilage replacement surgery, minimal incision total hip and knee replacement surgery, and unicompartmental total knee replacement surgery. Additionally, arthroscopic surgeries of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle are primary features of his practice.
Teays <->Valley Hospital boasts what may be the most technologically advanced arthroscopic surgery suite in the state of West Virginia. Minimally invasive joint surgery can be performed here with ultra-high resolution digital cameras displaying crystal clear images on plasma screens.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Gluten Free
Looking for tips about healthy gluten free living? Need information about losing weight with a gluten free diet? You've come to the right place!
Gluten-free diets are free of gluten, which is a type of protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. People with celiac disease and gluten allergies find that gluten-free diets are beneficial to their health and well-being.
Gluten-free diets require a person to look carefully at their food labels because they can often be misleading. They need to make sure to avoid foods labeled with wheat, wheat gluten, barley and rye. They also need to pay attention to sneaky types of gluten such as malt and hydrolyzed vegetable protein. WebMD provides some helpful hints for gluten-free diets.
People wishing to benefit from gluten-free diets should forgo the following:
Most bread products. White, wheat, marble and rye bread are completely off-limits. Muffins, bagels, croissants, buns and even pizza crust should be avoided as well. Some bread, if made with rice or potato flour, is a safe substitute for traditional bread and sometimes, it can taste better too.
Most breakfast cereals. Gluten-free shoppers should carefully check each label to find gluten-free bread and cereal products. As an alternative, corn and rice-based cereals are an option for breakfast in gluten-free diets, and it should be noted, however, that these cereals may contain malt, so make sure to pay close attention to the food label.
Pasta. Pasta is usually made out of wheat; therefore, those looking for gluten-free diets should avoid any type of pasta.
Breaded meats. Instead of breaded chicken nuggets and battered fish, gluten-free diets can include lean meats without additives and breading. It should also be noted that hot dogs and deli meats may contain gluten because they are processed so carefully read the label before including these foods into your gluten-free diet.
Crackers, chips and many sweet pastries like cookies and cakes. Most contain wheat flour. Look for marshmallows and hard candies and investigate whether or not local bakeries or grocery stores sell any gluten-free sweet treats because sweets are not impossible in gluten-free diets.
Most beers. The majority of beers are made with malt. However, there are alcohol options for those on gluten-free diets. Check labels carefully and consider hard ciders, wines and liquors.
When shopping for gluten-free products, a helpful place to start is in the grocery store's gluten-free or health food section. There shoppers will find clearly labeled gluten-free options. Look for rice crackers, rice noodles and corn chips to substitute for gluten-full favorites. A gluten-free diet is like any other healthy diet full of potatoes, rice, eggs, fish, meat, fruits, vegetables and milk. Keep in mind that any frozen or canned food may contain additives that include gluten so make sure you read those nutrition labels carefully. The same can be said for processed cheeses and flavored yogurts.
Maintaining gluten-free diets can be challenging, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Gluten-free diets for those who have gluten intolerance or celiac disease can help eliminate gas and bloating, problematic bowel movements, weight loss, fatigue and other weaknesses. With the right amount of effort and knowledge, those desiring gluten-free diets will find plenty of options to suit their palate.
If you're looking for a convenient way to incorporate gluten-free food into your diet, try a dirt meal delivery service like bistroMD. We offer a customizable menu and it only takes a few weeks to start seeing results!

Tamika McNeill, who had just turned 12, contemplated killing herself last April after classmates at Cleveland Elementary School grabbed her in the cafeteria, wedged their hands under her shirt, and tried to fondle her breasts.
"It made me feel like: End it all right there," said Tamika, then a sixth grader, who had been teased and taunted for months before the attack. "But I knew that it would make my family feel worse."
Administrators at the elementary school, in Tioga, didn't take the incident as seriously. They failed to report the assault to the district's central office, a violation of district policy, until 21/2 months later and permitted her attackers to stay in school.

individual reports of runaway
Priuses are true or
not, the sheer number of complaints and accidents would indicate
that many vehicles in Toyota's lineup may have deep underlying
issues. These issues are exacerbated by the fact that many American
drivers are unaware of all the means at their disposal to stop their
vehicles.The feds are now examining a rather wild theory --
that cosmic
radiation may be causing some of Toyota's electrical
issues. The feds received an anonymous tip from an industry
source that Toyota's microprocessors, memory chips and software may
be more sensitive to cosmic rays than its competitors, causing
increased incidences of malfunctions. Such problems are
commonplace with airplanes or spaceships, raising the need for
extremely robust electronic designs.Sung Chung, who runs a
California testing firm, says he believes the tipster may be
correct. He states, "I think it could be a real issue with
Toyota. [But] nobody wants to come out and say we have issues
and we need to test."Electrical interference could help
to explain the unintended
acceleration afflicting 13 models across Toyota's lineup, or
about 5.6 million vehicles in total. While software and
hardware can compensate, to an extent for cosmic interference, cosmic
rays can potentially cause the kind of unrepeatable "single
event upsets" that could add up to many of the 3,000 complaints
against Toyota received by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration since 2000.William Price, who worked at a jet
propulsion laboratory studying extraterrestrial electromagnetic
interference (EMI) for 20 years, comments, "[It] occurs
virtually anywhere. It doesn't happen in a certain locale like
you would expect in an electromagnetic problem from a radio tower or
something else."A Toyota spokesperson in a brief
comment to Freep.com said
that Toyota's protections against extraterrestrial EMI were "robust
against this type of interference" and that its vehicles
featured "absolute reliability".Toyota may not be
the only one susceptible to cosmic EMI, though. Other
manufacturers likely would have similar occurrences even in more
reliable designs, albeit less frequently.Cosmic EMI may turn
out to be of little concern, or it may turn out to be a major problem
with the increased use of in car electronics. The auto industry
used to use mechanical links, but now uses electrical throttle
controls to save weight and space, and make other technologies
possible, such as stability control. Those benefits could come
at a cost, though.
There's a lot of confusion about what "cosmic interference" or "cosmic EMI" is. "Cosmic interference" or "cosmic radiation" can mean one of two things: First, disruption due to cosmic rays, which are primarily composed of protons (hydrogen ions), helium nuclei (alpha particles), and high energy electrons. Secondly, cosmic bodies like the sun can transmit self-propagating electromagnetic waves through the vacuum. These waves can be referred to as "cosmic EMI". Cosmic particles can also cause damage, but aren't referred to as EMI. This article is referring to both cosmic rays and cosmic electromagnetic radiation.

These are some of the emotions and feelings expressed by many of the precious little children that watched our video about the Roma at this week's VBS.
Hundreds of children came through our classroom this week to see and hear about our work among the Roma in Albania. They learned about what a missionary does, who the Roma are, where Albania is, and how they could help... in a tangible way.
One child said that when he grows up he is coming to Albania to start a new school. Another said that he wants to bring cars to Albania so that the Roma can get around town. One girl said that she is going to bring new homes to Albania. And, another boy said that he is going to stop complaining when his parents ask him to do chores. Yet another girl said she doesn't want any more toys because the Roma kids don't have any.
From the mouths of babes.
The name of our project at this week's VBS was Hapa Dollapa. Albanian for open the closet. A kid's game in Albania much like hide n' seek. But, this was also the name that we chose for a pantry that we are establishing for our tiny Roma community we work in. A closet that will contain food, medicine, diapers, clothes, blankets, wood for heating, and other basic necessities that the Roma lack but need on a daily basis.
For many of the children at VBS, it was the first time they saw poverty. And, it spurred them to action. Over $4000 was raised this week. I was told that many children simply brought in their allowance with pockets full of loose change. One boy said that all he had was a quarter. And one girl joyfully proclaimed she brought $10 million dollars!
No matter how much or how little was brought in by each child, it was seeing their hearts and the joy on their faces that was humbling to see.
Jesus had a special liking to children. And, it is obvious why. He said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:3)
So, thank you for allowing us to see a little glimpse of the kingdom of heaven this week... through the precious mouths of babes.

To be completely honest, if this is all the Sharks have, you may want to revise your prediction to: Wings in 6. Perhaps 5. Definitely not 7.
Make no mistake - we won in Calgary, so we can definitely win in San Jose.
Make no mistake - we won in Calgary, so we can definitely win in San Jose.
To be perfectly honest here -- this is NOT all the Sharks have. Not by a long shot. Yes, they've outplayed the Wings for the first ten minutes of the first two games. BUT, the Sharks have yet to play a solid 60 minute effort.
Perhaps you can win in San Jose, that remains to be seen. However, I do not count my team out. I think they will pick up their play in front of the home crowd and put in a more consistent and complete effort for the entirety of the game. Winning in San Jose may be more difficult than you think.
We'll find out tomorrow.

Never trailing the entire game, the Stetson men's basketball team (1-1) opened up its home slate of contests with a convincing 88-66 victory over Florida A&M (0-2) on Tuesday night at the Edmunds Center. Senior Adam Pegg led the Hatters with 19 points, on eight-of-ten shooting from the field, to help Stetson improve to 1-1 on the season.
"I'm proud of our guys," Head Coach Casey Alexander said after the game. "I think we really competed for 40 minutes. It wasn't pretty the entire time. We had much more success on both sides of the floor in the first half, but our guys are really trying hard to do what we ask them to do, which is goal number one for a coach."
The Hatters scored the first bucket of the game on a jumper from the top of the key by junior Willie Green, and there was no looking back from there. Stetson opened up to a 14-7 advantage less than five minutes in when junior Aaron Graham nailed a three-pointer and then connected on a pair of free throws in consecutive Hatter possessions.
SU extended its lead to double digits for the first time when Green slammed home a tip dunk with 9:42 to play in the first, giving Stetson a 25-14 advantage midway through the period. After a layup by the Rattlers, freshman Leke Solanke matched Green with a thunderous tip dunk of his own, igniting the Stetson crowd and sending the Hatters on a run that extended the lead to 19 four times before the half ended.
Stetson went on a 10-1 run, beginning with a layup by senior Liam McInerney with 8:12 to play in the half, and concluding with a nice post move by Pegg with 5:27 remaining. The stretch gave the Hatters a 37-19 lead.
The Hatters finished the half up 48-29 when freshman Brian Pegg hit junior Chris Perez on a perfect back door cut in the final possession of the period. Stetson put forth a phenomenal shooting percentage of 64.5 percent, and went 5-for-11 from beyond the arc during the frame.
"More than anything, we had the patience we want [in the first half]," Alexander continued. "In preparation we talked about taking a great shot for our team, and for the most part we really did that. We threw the ball into the post seven times in the first half, and we scored on all seven possessions. That's a group of players that are trying to do what we ask them to do."
A layup in the lane by freshman Logan Irwin, and a three-pointer by senior Joel Naburgs got Stetson out to a similarly hot start in the second half. The 27-point lead that Graham gave the Hatters on a breakaway dunk with 17:39 to play in the game slowly began to fade as the Rattlers started hitting some shots, and the Hatters went a bit cold.
Florida A&M used a 10-0 run midway through the period to cut the lead to 69-53 with 8:33 to play on a layup by Jamari Bradshaw. After Alexander called a 30 second timeout to rally the troops, the Hatters fed the ball into the post to Pegg to stop the bleeding. The Stetson center scored in the paint to stop the FAMU run.
"We called a couple plays to get the ball inside," Alexander said. "Adam's a guy that can get us a basket or a foul, and our guys know that. He wants that challenge, and our guys know that we can count on him. It was great that when we went to him, he delivered, and settled the storm a little bit."
The Rattlers didn't quit there though, getting as close as 11 points, at 76-65, with 4:38 to play in the game. That was when Graham hit his second of three treys on the night to get the Stetson lead back to 14 points and ultimately put away Florida A&M.
Graham, Perez, and Pegg all hit free throws down the stretch as Stetson went on to defeat the Rattlers 88-66 and improve to 1-1 on the season. Pegg led SU with 19 points, while Graham added 16, Naburgs chipped in with 11, and Irwin added 10.
The Hatters recorded 21 assists, making it two straight games with 20 or more assists to start the season. Florida A&M, on the other hand, only managed to tally nine assists on their 27 baskets in the game. Stetson turned it over 15 times to the Rattlers 17, but the Hatters outscored FAMU 26-13 off of turnovers.
Florida A&M was led by Muhammad Abdul-Aleem, who scored a game-high 20 points. Jamie Adams added 13, and Markee Teal led all players with seven rebounds.
Stetson will next host Southeastern on Monday, Nov. 19 at 7:00 p.m. at the Edmunds Center. The game can be watched for free on HatterVision and ASun.TV, or listened to live on WSBB 1230 AM in New Smyrna and 1490 AM in DeLand.

The first annual Ellington Elite Football Camp was part clinic, part football training camp, part motivational group therapy session, part tent revival ...
And part family reunion.
The premier Andre and Bruce Ellington camp at Berkeley High Schools Gerald Moody Field was as much about teaching life lessons as developing football fundamentals.
I was in this game for fifteen years before I ever earned my first dollar, said Camp Head Coach Preston Thorne, a former Summerville and USC standout, to the nearly 700 young football players gathered in a group around him on Friday, June 11. You have to look life right in the eye and never quit. You have to listen. You have to be coachable.
This isnt just about football, this is about life and the key to succeeding in life is to never, ever quit.
With close to 750 young football players between the ages of six and 16 cramming the field where both Ellingtons starred during their prep days, the size of the camp and the sheer volume of players and coaches attending defied description and exceeded all expectations.
This is what people mean when they say, Berkeley Football, said former Stags Coach Jerry Brown. This is about the community coming together, about the amazing Ellington families, about the character that is Andre and Bruce Ellington.
At no other school in Berkeley County could anyone have pulled off a camp of this magnitude other than the Ellingtons or Berkeley High School. You wont see anything like this at other schools. This is what Berkeley Football is all about.
Camp coordinator Ashley Ellington merely smiled at the challeneges facing him on the night before the camp, but as the camp ran like clockwork in mild temperatures and a refreshing, sprinkling rain at BHS on Friday morning, even he was amazed.
We did it, he said. I was confident we could, but even this exceeds all our expectations. The turnout was unreal. The community support from former players and coaches is overwhelming.
A former collegiate player at Middle Tennessee State in his own right, Ashley said, as he ran off to assist at the next workout station, This is just the first annual Ellington Camp. We will be back next year for sure.
Five of the camp coaches, three alone from Berkeley, had places on NFL rosters this summer: Andre with Arizona, Bruce with the 49ers, Deandre Nuk Hopkins with Houston, Omar Brown, and his Super Bowl ring, with Baltimore, and Tajh Boyd with the Jets.
Bruce worked with the receivers and then roamed from camp station to camp station, beseiged by moms and dads seeking memorabilia autographs for their kids.
This is just amazing, Bruce said. Im speechless. The support, the turnout, this is a great event for the community and the kids. We wanted to do this for the kids.
Andre spent most of his time in front of television cameras doing interviews.
We want to keep football alive here in Moncks Corner and at Berkeley, he said. We want to give back to the community.
When asked if the turnout surprised him, Andre merely chuckled and said, Amazing.
