WHEELING - The case of two Steubenville High School student-athletes charged with rape has many questioning the treatment of athletes inside the classroom and within the community, but longtime school administrator Terry Wallace believes those in prep athletics are not benefiting from a so-called "free pass."
Wallace has worked in the education field for more than 40 years, and during that time has served as an administrator in Bellaire and also in large Pennsylvania schools. He currently serves as a senior fellow at the Institute for Innovation in Education at West Liberty University.
Speaking in general terms and not specifically on the Steubenville case, Wallace talked about his experience with the treatment of student-athletes in schools. He said student-athletes are held to a higher standard than the average student because much is expected from them on the playing field and within their community, as well as in the classroom.
"High performers, whether they're academic or athletic, tend to be held to a somewhat higher standard in the community because we expect them to be very good at what they do across the board," he said. "We expect high-performing athletes to be high-performing people."
Because of that ideal standard, any student-athlete who stumbles off the field can quickly attract the public's attention, Wallace said.
"Athletes tend to be very visible and very vulnerable in the community," he noted. "If you're a high-performing athlete, and you engage in some untoward behavior, everybody's going to know about it. And people tend to put you under a microscope."
A few examples of notorious behavior among student-athletes can cause many to make unfair generalizations about the role of high school athletics, Wallace concluded. He said people tend to focus on the cases of prep athletes getting into trouble, rather than the positive values that sports has instilled in them.
"For every student-athlete you may be able to find who's had a childhood problem, I can show you a lot of ones who were saved - where coaches and school officials have reached over the cliff and pulled them back. For some of them, athletics has motivated them to do better," he said.
But teachers and coaches have only limited access to student-athletes in the classroom and on the field, Wallace said, and those lessons have a limited effect if they are not reinforced by parents in the home.
"Schools can't raise children. Schools don't raise children," he said. "Parents are supposed to raise children ... and that doesn't always happen in the most positive ways."
Community members offering praise for athletic achievements also can skew a student-athlete's sense of values. Wallace said contemporary parenting, because of various strains placed on the home life, makes children vulnerable to those distractions now more than ever.
"Parenting is weaker today than it's ever been," he said. "Parents seem for whatever reason to be less equipped, and as a result, it makes it difficult for them to hold their children to high standards. And there are more environmental seductions for young people today than ever before."

The Altoona boys basketball team has played a lot of close games this season. Some have gone the Mountain Lions way. Others have not.
Monday's game against Mifflin County fell into the latter category as Altoona dropped to 8-10 with a 53-48 setback at the AAHS Fieldhouse.
With starters Deshae Lee and Brandon Lytle injured, Altoona fell behind the Huskies by 10 early in the second half. The Mountain Lions battled back and had a 48-47 lead with 1:20 to play, but Mifflin County scored the final six points of the game to pull out the win.
"The average score for our games is 57-56. We've been in tight games all year," Altoona coach Paul Hasson said. "In a close game, there's always a key moment or two. Give Mifflin County credit. They shot the ball well and beat us up the floor a couple times."
Manny Span led Altoona with a double-double. The junior forward scored 13 points and pulled down 16 rebounds. Kevin Givens added 12 points and eight rebounds.
Jeff Hancock delivered 11 points off the bench to help make up for the loss of Lee, who averages close to 18 points a game.
"We still had balance on offense. Jeff Hancock had a real nice game. When guys get hurt, you need somebody else to come in and step up," Hasson said.
Trailing 47-44 midway through the fourth quarter, Givens made two free throws with 3:46 remaining to pull Altoona within one point.
Span's follow of a Hancock miss put the Mountain Lions ahead 48-47 with 1:20 to play, but Seth Wagner's tip in on the ensuing possession put Mifflin County back in front.
The 6-foot-7 Wagner finished with a game-high 21 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots.
After Matt Dry's 3-point attempt rattled in and out, Givens looked to have the rebound under control and was headed towards the basket when a jump ball was called, giving possession to Mifflin County.
The Huskies sank four straight free throws to seal the win.
"Our guys kept their composure," Mifflin County coach Aaron Gingrich said. "We've been in numerous one or two possessions games this season."
Altoona outrebounded the Huskies 33-21 and scored 13 second chance points.
"We've outrebounded every opponent this year. We're averaging over 30 rebounds per game," Hasson said.
Mifflin County was able to overcome Altoona's advantage on the boards by committing a season-low eight turnovers. Point guard John-Michael MacLay had no turnovers.
"We took care of the ball. The pressure we've seen throughout the season in the Mid-Penn conference has helped us take better care of the ball," Gingrich said.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The efficiency of next-generation sequencing (NGS) depends on the quality of the libraries used. Biased libraries with artificially joined segments can complicate genome assembly and may cause incorrect conclusions. Existing NGS sample-preparation kits are not optimized for A-tailing, resulting in libraries that are not efficiently ligated to T-tailed adapters.
In addition, because nonproofreading enzymes such as Taq DNA polymerase add nontemplated purines (both A and G residues) to the 3´ ends of templates, these kits produce both A- and G-tailed templates, which also reduce the ligation efficiency to T-tailed adapters. Inefficient ligation will lead to libraries contaminated with chimeras and concatemers, containing incorrect, artifactually joined segments, which greatly complicates assembly.
Lucigen has developed NxSeq™ technology, an optimized library construction system that repairs template ends and maximizes A-tailing and subsequent ligation to T-tailed adapters. Optimization was accomplished with a molecular assay that allows one to quantify every step of the library-construction process.
In this assay, a synthetic 90 bp target DNA is used, which consists of a mixture of random 3´ ends that require end repair and phosphorylation before ligation is possible. Efficient A-tailing prevents self-ligation and chimera formation. Subsequent ligation of the A-tailed target DNA to fluorescently labeled T-tailed or C-tailed adapters allows for the quantization of tailing and ligation.
Library-preparation results demonstrated an essentially chimera-free product with over 80% efficiency of T-tailed adapters ligated in a single step compared to significant concatemer formation and low T-tailed adapter ligation (7% to 48%) with other systems. This procedure is universal and can be used in the construction of Roche 454, Illumina, and Ion Torrent libraries.
Sample preparation for the majority of NGS platforms follows a similar protocol. Genomic DNA is sheared to an appropriate size, end repaired, and in most cases A-tailed. Adapters are ligated and the final product is purified or size selected. If needed, the library will be subjected to limited amplification by PCR. Because shearing results in DNA fragments with overhangs, ends must be repaired prior to the addition of 3´ A tails or the ligation of blunt-end adapters. A-tailing of target DNA in combination with ligation to T-tailed adapters is designed to prevent the formation of chimeras and concatemers formed by self-ligation of both target DNA and adapters.
Although kits that perform end repair and tailing in a single tube are simple to use and fast, they are generally not optimized for A-tailing and will add both 3´ adenine and guanine residues at approximately equal rates. The result of inefficient tailing is a mixture of DNA with blunt, A-tailed, and G-tailed ends, and consequently, inefficient ligation of adapters and low complexity libraries.
Lucigen developed a molecular assay for end repair and tailing that allows the quantization of the efficiency of tailing and ligation. In the absence of tailing, a ladder of concatemers will be visible in the assay indicating blunt ligation. Target DNA consists of a double-strand synthetic 90 mer that must be end repaired and kinased before it is ligatable. Adapters were designed having either a T-tail or a C-tail to assess ligation to A-tailed target or G-tailed target, respectively.
Target DNA that is end repaired, but not tailed, will form concatemers when ligated. A target that is G-tailed will ligate to the C-tailed adapter. Before end repair, the target DNA will not self-ligate to form concatemers. After end repair, but prior to A-tailing, the target DNA will self-ligate and form a ladder of concatemers (Figure 1). T-tailed and C-tailed adapters will not self-ligate and will ligate only to target DNA with A- or G- overhangs, respectively.
To benchmark the optimized NxSeq™ technology, two leading NGS library kits representing two different sequencing platforms were compared using the previously described assay. In Figure 2, an ethidium bromide-stained gel demonstrates the efficiency of A-tailing and subsequent ligation to T- or C-tailed adapters for the three systems.
The expected products are denoted on the left side of the gel, with the blue bar representing the 90 mer target and the red bars representing ligated adapter.
If A-tailing is occurring at a higher rate than G-tailing, the intensity of the desired band in the "T-adapter" lanes should be stronger. Examination of the existing NGS library kits reveals equal amounts of A- and G-tailing, along with notable presence of bands that can only exist by the formation of concatemers and chimeras. In contrast, the Lucigen library exhibits the high efficiency of a T-tailed ligated adapter with essentially no side products (concatemers or C tails).
By eliminating chimeras and concatemers, one may theorize that improvements in the quality of NGS data will follow. This can be tested by directly comparing library-preparation methods with replicate samples, generating sequencing data, and running statistical analyses for bias and complexity.
Genomic E. coli DH10B DNA was sheared and prepared using Lucigen's NxSeq technology and that of a leading supplier.
Figure 3 graphically represents the sequence bias obtained from these two libraries when compared to the reference genome. A tighter line with less deviation from the mean represents the library with lower bias and thus, more accurately matches the reference sequence. Along with lower bias, higher library-creation efficiency results in greater levels of library complexity. Higher percentages of genome coverage are achieved with fewer total reads, and fewer repeat reads are generated.
Despite the advent of less expensive platforms for next-gen sequencing, the cost of sequencing, analysis, and data storage continues to be a major constraint for researchers. Existing commercial kits are inherently inefficient in their ability to A-tail and ligate adapters, resulting in lower library complexity and greater bias. The outcome of this inefficiency is increased time and cost associated with the data analysis required to complete a genome or even the inability to obtain the desired data at all. By improving the quality of the library, the return on investment for sequencing projects can be significantly increased.

Areas of Focus
The Broad Institute is committed to meeting the most critical challenges in biology and medicine. Broad scientists pursue a wide variety of projects that cut across scientific disciplines and institutions. Collectively, these projects aim to:
- Assemble a complete picture of the molecular components of life. The Human Genome Project was only a first step in laying out the "Periodic Table" of life. Broad Institute scientists are working to extend this knowledge by identifying all of the functional elements in the human genome and revealing how these working parts vary both in humans and other species.
- Define the biological circuits that underlie cellular responses. Genomic elements work together in "circuits" that determine how cells in the body process information and respond to their surroundings. Researchers at the Broad are working to gain a complete understanding of this complex biological circuitry and how it functions in human health and disease.
- Uncover the molecular basis of major inherited diseases. The biological underpinnings of most inherited diseases remain a mystery, hampering efforts to prevent and treat them. Through comprehensive studies of genetic variation in human populations, Broad Institute researchers are working to identify the biological factors that influence susceptibility to a wide range of human diseases.
- Unearth all the mutations that underlie different cancer types. Cancer is a genomic disease in which cells accumulate genetic alterations (called "mutations") that confer new, often deadly properties. Broad scientists are creating systematic catalogues of these changes across different types of tumors, laying a foundation for the development of new cancer therapies as well as new diagnostic tools.
- Discover the molecular basis of major infectious diseases. Viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens are responsible for an enormous burden of disease, especially in developing countries. Broad researchers are systematically defining the components in both pathogens and their hosts that enable pathogens to cause disease, knowledge that will bolster efforts to develop effective vaccines, rapid diagnostics, and new kinds of therapeutics.
- Transform the process of therapeutic discovery and development. Pharmaceutical science has not kept pace with biomedical discovery: only a tiny fraction of human gene products are now targeted for therapeutic benefit. Broad scientists are exploring ways to innovate the drug-discovery process, including synthesizing chemicals of unprecedented diversity; testing candidate drugs on living cells and tissues; pioneering methods to rapidly identify drug targets; optimizing drug efficacy and safety; and uncovering ways to increase the accuracy and efficiency of clinical trials.

It was a great night." --Alyssa, 15
"I think that a good birthday gift for a guy is a DVD season of their favorite television show or some of their favorite movies. Every guy loves TV and movies." --Amber, 18
"One time I made my bf a picture frame, decorated it, and put one of our pics in it. He loved it because it came from the heart and it didn't cost much!" --Jessica, 16
"Last year I took my boyfriend on a helicopter ride over our city. It was so amazing! He was so surprised that he thought it was a joke when he opened the card." --Ashley, 17
"The best birthday gift for a guy would have to be something fun and out of the blue. I say something like sending him on a scavenger hunt just to find a game for Xbox 360 or a Wii. Have a friend hide the game and set up the scavenger hunt so you and your guy can both do it together." --Caitlin, 15
"I got my boyfriend a poster of the first movie we saw together. It was beyond perfect." --Catie, 19
"The best present I ever got my boyfriend was a camping set. It included a tent, mattress, lamp and sleeping bags. We had always used his old tent to go camping before, and the roof always had to be supported from the inside so that it wouldn't cave in. My boyfriend was so excited to have all new stuff that we went camping in his back yard!" --Cynthia, 18
"If your guy is into sports, buy him tickets to a game played by his favorite team. Make sure you buy two so that you can go along with him!" --Emma, 17
"I took quotes from all the letters I had written to my boyfriend over the past year along with the little things we say to each other. I arranged the quotes like a collage on colorful paper and attached a letter to the collage. His reaction was priceless. You know guys don't like to show their feelings but he loved it!" --Imani, 18
"The best birthday gift I ever got for a guy was I made him a scrapbook with a ton of pictures of me, him, and all his friends. The pictures were all from different things we had done that year, and each page had a different theme. He thought it was adorable and so thoughtful." --Jess, 20
"This year my boyfriend turned 22, so on his birthday I bought 22 different items that had sentimental value or that I knew he like or needed. It was fun to watch him dig into this huge box and pull out 22 things. It showed that I knew him well and I had fun searching for the things." --Jordyn, 17
"Something homemade will stay in his mind forever. I made a slideshow for my boyfriend that included some of our songs, pictures that I knew would make him smile and anecdotes. He said it was the best present anyone had ever gotten him!" --Kar-leigh, 18
"My boyfriend is really into cars. He just got this car that he was going to fix up over the summer. His garage is an absolute mess, tools laying everywhere, so I decided to buy him a really nice tool set. He went absolutely crazy when he opened it! He still uses it to this day." --Kristyn, 16
"An iTunes gift card is a great birthday gift for a guy. Everyone can always use some new music for their iPod and best of all, you can choose the amount you want to spend!" --Leah, 15
"My boyfriend of a year and a half is totally into heavy metal and motorcycles. I'm into Beyonce ... so I had no idea what to get him. So, I got a black blanket and sewed in "Metallica" and ironed on a patch image of the band. He's slept with it every night." --Liz, 17
"Guys don't like you to spend a lot of money on them because they feel like they have to reciprocate! I found out my guy's favorite dessert and made it for his birthday! It shows you have skills in the kitchen and you care about what he likes." --Marissa, 20
"For his 17th birthday, I gave him 17 of my homemade chocolate chip cookies and he begs for them every birthday." --Meg, 17

There were so many bags of chips in the box that they got stale before he could eat them all!" --Natasha, 18
"For my boyfriend's last birthday I made a whole alphabet book, with a memory about us for each letter, and he loved it!" --Nicole, 18
"One year I made my bf a box covered with pics of us and ticket stubs from movies and different places we went together. The top of the box was a map of our houses!! I filled the box with his favorite snacks, a season of his favorite TV show, and a new t-shirt." --Whitley, 18

TAHOE, Calif. - K2 Skis, maker of the first women's-specific ski, is proud to continue its support for the K2 Ski Alliance program and its altruistic vision for female skiers.K2's NorCal Alliance Team will present the 4th Annual Pink Case Tahoe Feb. 28 at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe. Pink Chase Tahoe is an all-day event co-sponsored by the K2 Ski Corp, Bobo's Ski & Board, GoPro, Arbonne, Wigwam and Nature's Bakery."I am so proud to be part of the K2 NorCal Alliance Team and to represent a company that has been a pioneer in the women's skiing movement," said Julie Matise. "There is something special that happens when a group of women get together on skis. This bonding of 'chicks on sticks' is not only super fun, but it makes my job as a ski instructor so worthwhile and rewarding!"The event is set to include morning and afternoon ski instruction sessions for all levels, the ultimate skiing flash mob and a silent auction featuring a pair of hand-painted skis by artist Caroline Zimmerman in Tuscany, Italy to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Developed in effort to unite female skiers of all ages around the world, the K2 Ski Alliance promotes camaraderie, events and happenings in the female ski community. More than a decade later, the program is a primary product testing and development resource for creating innovative women's skis and a major supporter of women's health causes. Because of the K2 Ski Alliance, K2 Sports donates a large sum annually to the Breast Cancer Research Fund (BCRF), accumulating upward of $1 million in donations since the program's existence. In addition, K2 supports many other breast cancer research efforts throughout the year. In recognition of the cause, a pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness adorns nearly all of the skis in the K2 Women's Collection.The registration fee for Pink Chase Tahoe is $50 which includes a continental breakfast, lunch, morning and afternoon on-snow instructional sessions, the ultimate skiing flash mob, a goodie bag which includes the event T-shirt, and a free raffle with lots of great prizes. Pink Chase Tahoe will be award first, second and third place prizes to the "Most Spirited Dressed in Pink" participants. The K2 NorCal Alliance Team will also award the Top Four Fundraisers for Pink Chase Tahoe. First and second place winners will each receive a pair of specially chosen K2 skis made just for women. Third and fourth place winners will each receive the new GoPro Hero3 Black Edition Camera.Pink Chase Tahoe will be held Thursday, Feb. 28, 8 a.m-4 p.m. at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The role of biomarkers in making personalized medicine a reality is captivating researchers despite development, clinical validation, and regulatory challenges. A recent BCC Research report estimates that the global biomarker market will reach $12.8 billion by 2012. Many companies and organizations covet a piece of this market and are actively seeking to streamline biomarker research. Two upcoming conferences—IBC's "New Frontiers in Cancer Drug Development" and CHI's "Accelerating Development & Advancing Personalized Therapy"—will provide forums for discussions about ongoing biomarker research efforts.
A focus on signaling pathways has provided Curis with a novel approach to drug discovery. "There's a lot of redundancy built into these pathways, so if you have a highly specific blockade, you may get an initial response, but the majority of time tumors can adapt and bypass it. So our scientists focus on how to more effectively block the signaling and be able to knock out a network instead of a distinct node of intervention," explains Daniel Passeri, president and CEO.
More specifically, Passeri says, preclinical data has shown that if one uses a deacetylase inhibitor with a kinase inhibitor, there's a synergistic intervention to knock out key networks. His research group found they could build a single drug scaffold with an active kinase moiety that specifically binds to EGFR and includes an HDAC inhibitor.
Passeri says that there are potentially several competitive attributes to this approach that have yet to be seen in the clinic, though there are early promising clinical results. One of the challenges in combination therapy is striving to hit two or three distinct targets within a patient population with different chemical entities. "The pharmacokinetics of these drugs are typically distinct so the drugs are degraded at different rates, and they may also have different pharmacodynamics, which may affect patient compliance."
The company's recently patented drug, CUDC-101, hits multiple targets in cancer cells, including HDAC, EGFR, and HER2. It has aligned pharmacokinetics so the drug is degraded in a coordinated manner and provides a better toxicity profile since more of it is concentrated in the tumor, Passeri reports. This novel agent also has a potency enhancement of approximately five- to tenfold over the prototype-approved HDAC inhibitor, he adds.
Since it is administered intravenously, it bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and enables higher dosing levels. "The key advantage here is that we're able to achieve network disruption with a single agent, which we believe will be more efficacious and better tolerated, and also provide a significant cost advantage since it's a single drug." CUDC-101 is currently in Phase I dose-escalation studies. Next in development is an HDAC p13-kinase inhibitor.
Genstruct is applying the concepts of artificial intelligence to develop a three-tier architecture for determining biological mechanisms, in an attempt to increase the speed and success of drug discovery and development. Knowledge Assembly® is based on the company's large generic knowledge base, which can be customized and augmented to specifically represent each cell type, tissue, or organ system, explains Keith Elliston, Ph.D., president and CEO.
"We'll take that information with actual experimental data and run it through reverse causal analysis to find what caused that data to be produced; it represents biology that has changed with a perturbation like disease or toxicity. This is a subset we call the Causal Network Model—the cause-and-effect reactions that occurred, to change from a normal state to a disease state," Dr. Elliston says.
This approach overcomes some of the key challenges of designing biomarkers. "Our system allows us to take different data, like gene-expression data, to build a model and design the biomarker, this can be a protein, an imaging reagent, anything the model tells me about the biology of the system. I then know why that is a marker for a specific mechanism because I have a complete mechanistic model of how that particular function works." Furthermore, he adds, the mechanistic model is 20 times more efficient than a direct empirical method.
Models of patients can be compared to map out the entire extent of functional variation between individuals for disease state and drug response. This is especially pertinent for modeling individual tumors to define dysregulated pathways and guide therapy.
MyPath™ builds a network for a patient's disease state to help match the patient to the best therapies. Dr. Elliston says the company has begun implementing this assay in a clinical cancer setting, and it works well with both solid and hematological cancers. "We think of it as individualized medicine. Our models can, with a small assay, define the entire state of the patient's disease and then match that to the therapies right for that patient's biology."

Erie County sheriff's deputies have arrested two Depew men accused of stealing scrap metal from a Town of Elma business early Monday morning.
Deputy Joseph Raczynski was on patrol on Transit Road in the Town of Elma at about 3:05 a.m. when he spotted a vehicle pulling out of the Cove Restaurant parking lot. Because the business was closed, Raczynski stopped the vehicle and found some scrap metal in the car.
The occupants told the deputy they had permission from the business owner to take the metal, but the owners were contacted and replied that no one had such permission, according to police reports.
Raczynski charged David Tanyi and Jason Meyer, both 24, with petit larceny and trespass, officials reported.

"We've discussed it and we see the best is to keep them together," their mother, Michelle Van Horne, told Pittsburgh's WTAE-TV.
"They were born together, they can stay together," says Van Horne, 25, of Indiana, Pa. "I think it would hurt us to lose one and have the other."
The boys were born on April 10 at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown, Pa.
The overall survival rate of conjoined twins is between two and 25 percent. No separation surgery has been successfully performed on twins sharing a heart, according to CNN.
"I'm thankful they were able to survive this long, and they're still going strong," their 25-year-old father, Kody Stancombe, told WTAE.
Van Horne and Stancombe appreciate the effort, but say it's not something they're comfortable with. "I don't know … I'm not too keen on asking for something," Stancombe told The Indiana Gazette. "It's too weird for me."
The boys are doing just fine now – though they are on different sleeping schedules, the couple told The Indiana Gazette.
"For me, [the best part is] being able to hold them and hear them cry and know they're here with me," Van Horne told WTAE-TV. "Just seeing their eyes open and listening to them is just amazing to me."

Ethnic Foods: Eating around the world
The US is a nation of immigrants. Each group has added its cultural traditions – including delicious food – to the shared multi-ethnic experience. Every family has its favorite dishes from its own unique heritage or a combination of ancestries!
What I really enjoy is how different groups have incorporated their unique dishes into the celebration of US holidays. To use the Thanksgiving holiday as an example, most people feature the golden roasted turkey as a centerpiece, but the stuffing and side dishes will change! Mexican-Americans will add tamales and serve Spanish rice. Persian-Americans will use a rice, nut and fruit stuffing, while side dishes include stews, such as walnut-and-pomegranate, along with rice dishes featuring many green herbs. Italian-Americans will add pasta dishes like lasagna.
March is National Nutrition Month, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) offers ways to "eat right, your way, every day," with foods from everywhere.
Dietary guidelines, according to a registered dietician in this story, should accommodate food preferences, cultural, ethnic, traditional and personal preferences the many diverse groups in the US. The story lists yummy healthy dishes from many cuisines:

Doris "Dodie" Lorraine Haug Cotner, 84, of Williamsport, succumbed to pneumonia at Williamsport Regional Medical Center on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013.
Dodie was born in Williamsport on July 10, 1928, to Charles D. Haug and Orpha Burd Haug. She attended all Williamsport schools, Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing, R.N. and Lycoming College. She was also a Red Cross nurse.
In the 1950s, she enjoyed working at Lycoming College as an instructor and as College Nurse, the head infirmary nurse. During the annual Little League World Series, players were housed on campus at Rich Hall, and treated in the infirmary; Dodie became the first Little League nurse. She remained on duty 24 hours a day during the annual Series, gave players physical exams upon their arrival, cared for everything from stomach upset to heat exhaustion, and, she recalled, would provide many players with baths and food. She found it to be a fun and rewarding experience to meet and care for numerous youngsters from so many different places.

Two area retired superintendents are now serving in temporary capacities at other districts.
Paul Gallagher, who retired as Hollidaysburg Area School District's superintendent earlier this month, has taken on the task of temporarily heading up the Purchase Line School District in Indiana County.
Rodney Green, who retired a year ago as Spring Cove School District superintendent, has been serving in a similar capacity at Northern Cambria, where Superintendent John Jubas is on sick leave.
Purchase Line sought and hired Gallagher to fill in until a full-time superintendent is hired. He's been on the job three weeks.
Retired superintendents taking temporary, part-time jobs at the helm of school districts is not unusual, said attorney Dave Andrews. His law firm, Andrews & Beard in Altoona, serves as solicitor for a number of area school districts, including Hollidaysburg, Purchase Line, Spring Cove and Northern Cambria.
"I'm sure Purchase Line is thankful for his help in their time of need," Andrews said Tuesday.
Gallagher's daily rate at Purchase Line is $475, according to the Indiana Gazette.
"This is a part-time thing until they find a full-time superintendent. If I wanted to stay a superintendent, I would have stayed at Hollidaysburg, but I am helping them out [Purchase Line]," Gallagher said. He commutes an hour from Hollidaysburg to Purchase Line.
"I retired for the reasons I said I wanted to retire. Purchase Line knows it, too," he said, pointing to the fact that he is on vacation with his wife and his grandchildren.
When he returns to his temporary post at Purchase Line Aug. 5, he said he will be helping with the district's superintendent search to replace former superintendent Tina Hazelet, who retired from the district.
Green, on the job since May, said Northern Cambria is paying him $450 per day; he works three days per week.
The state Department of Education permits a person with superintendent certification to work for up to 12 months and still be considered retired, Green said.
"What typically happens is when they [superintendents] retire, because they are familiar with district solicitors, they say 'If something comes up and a district needs temporary help, I would be interested,''' Green said. "That's what I did."
Evelyn Tatkovski, spokeswoman for the state's Public School Employees' Retirement System, said districts must document efforts to hire nonretired personnel prior to seeking approval from PSERS to hire a retiree.
She said hiring a retiree can cause complaints to PSERS because retirees continue to receive their pension as well as being compensated by districts where they temporarily serve.
"That's the way the retirement code is," Tatkovski said. "It allows the exception for emergencies."
Although compensation for temporary work is received in addition to pension benefits, it does not boost pension benefits for the employee and is not factored into financial contributions the school district must pay into the state's pension system.
In a normal school employment situation, the district, the employee and the state make financial contributions to PSERS to support the employee's pension.
Green said Jubas could return by the end of August.
Green has led Northern Cambria through adopting a budget and making several hires, including district business manager. He is now preparing the district for the beginning of the school year.
Sometimes the duties of a temporary superintendent are simple. Some paperwork, for example, must be signed by a person with superintendent certification to continue day-to-day business of a district, Andrews said.
"Retiree superintendents are a natural fit [for districts needing temporary help]," Andrews said. "These jobs are on a part-time basis until they find their successor."

Plenty of sunshine is on tap today, filtered from time to time by those thin, wispy cirrus clouds.
The high will be near 25. Wind chills will feel a little colder, thanks to a westerly breeze.
A quick round of snow enters our forecast mainly for Monday night. A dusting to half-an-inch is possible before the system clears out Tuesday morning.
The deep freeze returns with highs in the teens and lows slightly below zero for the rest of next week. Plenty of sunshine, though.

The Pre-Admission Content Tests (PACT) route allows individuals to demonstrate content proficiency for possible admission into an EPP in Texas by passing the appropriate certification content test before being admitted into an EPP. Taking PACT does not ensure admittance into a program. EPPs may have additional admission requirements.
With policy updates effective March 7, 2013, individuals who hold a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited college or university or are scheduled to receive a bachelor's degree before being placed in a classroom, are allowed to take a content test for purposes of admission into the following types of EPPs: alternative certification programs, university alternative certification programs or university post baccalaureate programs (without content courses). An individual may not be placed in a classroom as a teacher of record under this section until receiving a bachelor's degree. See the U.S. Department of Education database of accredited postsecondary institutions and programs.
Individuals in programs seeking certifications other than classroom teacher or certifications with specific skill and experience requirements still need test approval from their EPPs.
Individuals who live outside the state of Texas, but wish to take PACT for the purpose of entering an EPP in Texas, can test under the PACT program. If they live in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Puerto Rico and Mexico, they can test under the TExES PACT program if the test they require is offered.
In all other areas, the following Praxis II® tests can be taken under the PACT program.
Texas PACT
PACT candidates testing through the TExES program can register through their testing account in the online registration system unless they do not have a Social Security Number (SSN). If that is the case, they need to contact firstname.lastname@example.com and request that a PACT profile with a "P" SSN be created.
Further registration instructions, including what information candidates without SSNs should include when requesting a PACT profile with a "P" SSN, are in the flyerInformation for Candidates Regarding Pre-Admission Content Tests (PACT) (PDF).
Praxis® Tests
Registration for a Praxis® test for the purpose of being admitted into an Educator Preparation Program in Texas must be done through the Praxis online registration system. Registration by mail is not available for Praxis PACT candidates. See the Praxis Texas PACT website for further information.

If individuals have been admitted into an EPP, they should contact their program for more information. If individuals have not been admitted into an EPP, they may contact TEA at 512-936-8400. The following publications should also be helpful.

Highland Heights, Ky. -- Demi Meza hit her 20th career home run and Meredith Owen tossed a one-hit shutout as Stetson defeated Northern Kentucky 10-0 in five innings to complete a three-game series sweep at Grein Softball Field.
Kayla Drury added a three-run double for the Hatters (28-5, 12-2 Atlantic Sun), who extended their winning streak to 13 games.
"We played great," junior Amanda Grimaldo said. "We knew coming into the series that we had to keep our composure and just play our game. We needed to stay consistent, and that would get us the wins."
Stetson was consistent on offense Sunday, scoring runs in all five innings en route to run-rule victory. Meza got the ball rolling with a two-run shot to leftcenter field in the top of the first inning, the first of her three runs scored on the day. Stetson added one in the second, one in the third, five in the fourth, and one in the fifth.
"We played with confidence, we swung the bats with confidence, and we pitched with confidence," Stetson head coach Frank Griffin said. "It is difficult to go on the road and sweep, and I am proud of my kids."
Owen allowed just one hit en route to her league-leading 16th victory of the season. Michelle Carson led off the bottom of the third with a single to center, but was quickly erased on a highlight-reel play by the Hatter middle infielders. After Nicolette Hayes grounded to second, Grimaldo barehanded the toss from Meza before firing to first for the double play.
"We actually worked on that in practice this week, just to get more comfortable," Grimaldo said. "If we have time, in games where we are ahead, we want to just try it. (Saturday), it happened for the first time, and I didn't even realize I had barehanded it. Then (Sunday), the same thing happened. It felt great."
"We have pretty good hands on the infield, but we just haven't been executing the double plays," assistant coach J.J. Payette said. "The other day we just worked on 'Snoop' (Grimaldo) barehanding that ball coming across, and Demi doing the same thing. It gives us a little more time, and they executed it perfectly this weekend. It was exciting to see."
Drury's three-run double can in the top of the fourth and gave Stetson a 9-0 lead. The Hatter sophomore is now batting .531 (17-for-32) over her past 10 games, and she raised her season average to .360.
"In the beginning of the year, I was struggling because I was overthinking everything," Drury said. "I was taking it too seriously, instead of relaxing and having fun at the plate."
Chrissy Morello and Owen each added RBI doubles, and Brittany Hawn drove in a run with a squeeze bunt.
The Hatters will return home to face UCF (27-12) at 6 p.m. Wednesday night at Patricia Wilson Field.
Notes: Stetson outscored NKU 30-1 in the series ... Stetson's 13-game win streak is the third longest in school history, behind a 28-game streak in 2002 and a 17-game streak in 2003 ... Jessie TenBroeck extended her hitting streak to 15 games ... With USC Upstate's rain out at Mercer, the Hatters moved to within three wins of the Spartans with three games at hand. The teams are tied in the loss column.

The Center for Women, South Carolina's largest women's resource and development organization, has hired a new executive director, Amy Brennan, to spearhead its efforts in Charleston and in areas across the state.
Brennan brings more than 20 years of professional experience successfully directing and building non-profits organizations and encouraging community development through collaborative efforts and fundraising. She was previously director of development for the Krause Center for Leadership & Ethics at The Citadel.
Prior to moving to Charleston and joining The Citadel Foundation in 2012, Brennan was the executive director of three nonprofit organizations, most recently the Georgetown County Family YMCA. During her eight year tenure at the Georgetown County Family YMCA, she grew and managed a staff of 80 full and part-time employees with an operating budget of $1.3 million and raised $6.0 million in a capital campaign to construct a new facility.
"Amy's passion for supporting women aligns well with the center's focus on advancing economic and leadership opportunities for South Carolina women," said Jane Perdue, president of the Center for Women's board of directors, and founder/CEO of Braithwaite Innovation Group. "She'll play an integral role in the Charleston region and across the state as the Center for Women expands its programs to help women succeed personally and professionally every day."
Brennan says, "I am honored to be assuming the position of executive director for the Center for Women and I look forward to meeting the center's network of engaged members, program participants and supporters. My passion has always been in helping others to succeed through community development while partnering with caring donors to achieve our united vision."
Brennan has been involved on many non-profit boards including president of Hospice of Georgetown County and the AIDS Task Force; she has worked with the South Carolina Association of Non-Profits Organizations (SCANPO) to develop two annual conferences; and has been part of the Blue Ribbon Task Force to establish accountability standards for nonprofit staff and boards. In addition to her undergraduate degree in Communications from the University of Kentucky, Brennan also received a four-year certificate from Sewanee Theological Seminary in Education for Ministry in 2001.

The Common Council Tuesday went on record as supporting a plan to restart two of the city's lowest performing schools as charters.
In a 7-2 vote, the Council approved a non-binding measure that urges the Buffalo Public School District to "cooperate and collaborate" with efforts to restart Waterfront Elementary School and East High School as charter schools.
The resolution, which also urges the state Education Department and Board of Regents to approve the charter efforts in time for the next school year, was sponsored by Council Members Joseph Golombek and Bonnie E. Russell.
Golombek said he hoped the resolution would start a dialogue and said all elected officials share some of the blame for the problems in the district.
"We've kept our mouths shut and we've lost ... a generation of students," he said.
Supporters of the effort said though there was no legal effect of the Council's support, it is important nonetheless.
"The Council has recognized the depth of the problem," said Steven H. Polowitz, a lawyer with Chameleon Community Schools Project, a nonprofit group that submitted applications to the state Education Department to close the schools and reopen them as charters. "They have a real stake in this."
Voting against the measure were Council Members Michael J. LoCurto and David A. Rivera, who said they had hoped the matter would be sent to committee so all sides of the issue could be discussed.
Chameleon is using a charter restart model stipulated in federal guidelines for turning around failing schools and has submitted an application to the state Education Department.
A letter from that department was sent to the school district on Oct. 11 saying the board must hold a public hearing on the application by Nov. 11, said Amy Friedman, who submitted the charter applications.
The hearing is a requirement under the law, Polowitz said.
The applicants expect to know by December whether the charters were approved.
The charter plan includes a longer school day, leasing the buildings from the district and keeping the buildings open longer for community use.
Polowitz said all current students – there are 1,500 total in the two schools – would have admission preference if the charters are authorized.
Polowitz and other supporters of the turnaround plan attempted to make a presentation to Buffalo Board of Education members in September, but the board's lawyer urged members not to allow it.

School-Based Dental Sealant Programs
Sealants prevent tooth decay and also stop cavities from growing. The Surgeon General's report on oral health indicates that sealants can reduce decay in school children by more than 70 percent.
The Scientific Evidence Shows that School-Based Sealant Programs Work
Findings from scientific studies clearly show that school dental sealant programs work to stop tooth decay.
The Task Force on Community Preventive Services recommends school sealant programs and issued a strong endorsement in 2001. In 2003, the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors published a Best Practice Approach Report. This report reviews the scientific evidence that school sealant programs work and presents specific examples of practices in state programs.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the tiny grooves on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. This is where most tooth decay in children and teens occurs. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces from decay by keeping germs and pieces of food out.
Learn more about sealants, including how they help prevent tooth decay and how they are applied, from this Dental Sealants FAQs.
What Are School-Based Sealant Programs?
School-based dental sealant delivery programs provide sealants to children unlikely to receive them otherwise. Such programs—
- Define a target population within a school district
- Verify unmet need for sealants
- Get financial, material, and policy support
- Apply rules for selecting schools and students
- Apply sealants at school or offsite in clinics
School-based sealant programs are especially important for reaching children from low-income families who are less likely to receive private dental care. Programs generally target schools by using the percentage of children eligible for federal free or reduced-cost lunch programs Tooth decay may result in pain and other problems that affect learning in school-age children. Learn more by reading Oral Health and Learning [PDF–81K]. This report addresses the following:
- Lost school time
- Oral health and learning
- Nutrition and learning Programs for improving oral health
CDC-Sponsored Expert Work Group Publishes Updated Recommendations for School-Based Sealant Programs
"Preventing Dental Caries Through School-Based Sealant Programs: Updated Recommendations and Review of Evidence," Journal of the American Dental Association, November 2009, provides guidance to school-based sealant programs.
The recommendations were developed by a work group of experts in the fields of caries prevention and treatment, oral epidemiology, and evidence-based reviews. The work group also included representatives from professional dental organizations.
The expert work group examined new evidence on:
- The effectiveness of sealants in preventing new decay and progression of early decay
- Methods to assess decay
- Sealant placement techniques
- Scientific reviews of program practices
Based on this evidence, the following recommendations are provided for practitioners in school-based programs:
- Seal pit-and-fissure tooth surfaces that are sound or have early decay, prioritizing first and second permanent molars.
- Use visual assessment to differentiate surfaces with the earliest signs of tooth decay from more advanced lesions.
- X-rays are not needed solely for sealant placement.
- A toothbrush can be used to help clean the tooth surface before acid etching.
- When resources allow, have an assistant help the dental professional place sealants.
- Provide sealants to children even if follow-up examinations for every child cannot be guaranteed.
These recommendations are designed to guide practices of state and community public health programs for planning, implementing, and evaluating school-based sealant programs, as well as to complement the American Dental Association Council on Scientific Affairs' evidence-based clinical recommendations for sealant use published in 2008.
Several other publications provide more detail about the studies that were conducted by work group members. The published studies are provided below.
- "The Effectiveness of Sealants in Managing Caries Lesions," Journal of Dental Research. February 2008. This study shows that if sealants are placed over early tooth decay, they will stop early decay from becoming a cavity. This information should lessen concerns about accidentally sealing over decay.
- "The Effect of Dental Sealants on Bacteria Levels in Caries Lesions: A Review of the Evidence," Journal of the American Dental Association. March 2008. This study shows that sealing over tooth decay lowers the number of bacteria in the cavity by at least 100-fold.
- "Exploring Four-Handed Delivery and Retention of Resin-Based Sealants," Journal of the American Dental Association. March 2008. For sealants to work, they must stay in place or be retained on the tooth. This study concludes that having a dental assistant help the dental professional place the sealant (four-handed technique) may improve sealant retention. "
- A Comparison of the Effects of Toothbrushing and Handpiece Prophylaxis on Retention of Sealants," Journal of the American Dental Association. January 2009. This study shows that cleaning the tooth's surface with a toothbrush before applying dental sealants resulted in sealant retention at least as high as when a hand piece was used.
- "Caries Risk in Formerly Sealed Teeth," Journal of the American Dental Association. April 2009. This study shows that teeth with fully or partially lost sealants did not have a higher risk of developing a cavity than teeth that were never sealed.
