Lending a Hand
With Food, Compassion and Cash, Mobilized Americans Answered the Question: 'How Can I Help?'
Fleur Perry Lang, 26
A waitress to the cosmopolitan elite serves haute cuisine to New York City's true nobility
As this most socially stratified city grappled with grief and rage, New Yorkers forged some unexpected bonds. On the evening of Sept. 14, a speedboat called The Screamer raced down the Hudson bearing the staff and owners of some of Manhattan's chicest eateries—from Daniel on the Upper East Side to Robert De Niro's downtown Tribeca Grill—and filled with four-star takeout for the rescuers at Ground Zero—firefighters and sandhogs who, one could wager, aren't regulars at any of those establishments. So many people had given them cookies and crackers," says Fleur Perry Lang, who works as a server at Daniel. "They needed a warm meal—mashed potatoes, meatloaf, fish stew."
The program is the work of Chefs with Spirit, a culinary alliance (it also includes gourmet markets) formed three days after the crashes. "We have prepared a lot of food, maybe 12,000 meals," says Marty Shapiro, 45, general manager of Tribeca Grill, just seven blocks from the WTC, which has been closed since the attacks and now serves as a dropoff point for delivery trucks. "We are trying to keep it simple, individual and healthy—turkey, avocado, roast beef. In the morning we do egg sandwiches and pastries."
At Daniel, Lang and some 30 other staffers spent hours grating, peeling, cooking and packing. Then, at 5 p.m. on Sept. 14, owner Daniel Boulud called for 10 volunteers to ferry the bounty to lower Manhattan. "It was a beautiful night that night—the sky was all pink, except for that cloud of smoke coming from Ground Zero," recalls Lang. The Screamer docked five blocks from the disaster site, where "everything is covered in white-gray ash," says Frenchwoman Lang, whose husband of three years, Adam, 32, a private chef, has also cooked for the cause. "What's also incredible is the silence. Even though you see hoses watering down small fires or workers trying to cut down the iron, it's really a dead calm."
She and her colleagues got right to work doling out meals aboard a docked cruise boat, which serves as a floating shelter for the famished and exhausted rescue workers. Moved to the brink of tears, Lang couldn't speak to her beneficiaries. "They looked so tired, and I don't think they really wanted to talk about it," she says. "My friend Celia and I went to the top of the boat, and there was a fireman sleeping on the floor. We felt like we had violated his privacy."
All told, dozens of local restaurants have rallied to the rescuers' aid, delivering tens of thousands of dollars' worth of food and drink. "These guys, they look you dead in the eye and tell you thanks," says Josh Capon, the executive chef at Manhattan's trendy Canteen restaurant, who whipped up 100 pounds of baked ziti and 30 gallons of Tuscan bean soup. "The one thing you never hear out here is, 'You're welcome.' Somebody says thank you, you say thank you."
Raquel Dominguez, 38
In the spirit of Betsy Ross, a refugee from Castro's Cuba turns out flags for a united nation
Meticulously, Raquel Dominguez, a seamstress, rolls her cutting blade over a bolt of red-white-and-blue cotton, slicing off a strip. Then she passes the fabric across the table to Petronilla Cedeno, who scissors it into 10 American flags, 4 in. by 6 in. each. Over and again, for the next five hours, the women repeat the process, eventually producing 4,000 copies of the Stars and Stripes. And that won't even begin to satisfy the requests flooding Freedom Flags of North Miami, one of few shops in South Florida where, amid the nationwide surge of patriotism following this month's terrorist attacks, you can still buy Old Glory.
"I've got orders on my desk I couldn't fill in a zillion years," says owner Barbara Dabney, 51. But since Sept. 11, she has sold more than 100,000 flags (they range in price from $1 to $15, depending on size) thanks to frenetic 12-hour days logged by the company's 14 seamstresses—all immigrants and some, like Cuban-born Dominguez, refugees from oppression. "My brother and I and four others came to America on a boat in 1989—it took us three days," she says. "Our compass broke. We didn't know if we would make it."
Forty miles off Key West, they were rescued by a U.S. Coast Guard patrol. "The first thing I saw as they pulled their boat up was the American flag," says Dominguez, the married mother of a 2-year-old daughter, who was naturalized two years ago. "That flag meant everything in the world to us. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen."
The pace has been grueling. "No breaks, no lunch—it is hard, but I don't mind," 38-year-old Eulogia Vargas, who fled war-torn Nicaragua 11 years ago, says as she presses the pedal of her sewing machine. Indeed, even as the phones ring off the hook and walk-in customers line up around the block, Freedom's workers handle the flag with their accustomed reverence. "They respect it so much. They don't want to let the fabric drop on the floor," says Dabney, whose employees earn from $6.50 to $12.50 an hour—and aren't in it for the overtime.
"I wish I could do something more to help, to do something up there where the people were killed," says Dominguez. "What I can do is work here, and get these flags out."
Sister Cindy Catherine, 49
Surrounded by hell on earth, she offers solace, strength and faith to anguished New Yorkers
The faces are young, most of them, some with features blurred in black-and-white snapshots, others formally posed beneath mortarboards and fire hats, still others caught under the tree on a distant Christmas morning. Goldstein, Moroney, Wong—each one imbued with an agonizing beauty. They call it the Wall of Prayers, a shrine to missing loved ones at the entrance of Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital. Here Sister Cindy Catherine of the Episcopal Order of St. Helena joins other clergy—Christian, Jewish and Muslim—in frequent prayer services and offers comfort to a city seized by fear, fury and grief.
"Some people just want to hold our hand," drawls Sister Cindy Catherine, who was relocated to New York from Augusta, Ga., a month ago. "Sometimes they just want to tell us how wonderful their loved one is." Especially vivid was an 11-year-old boy whose sister was missing. He'd spent the night at the hospital and refused to go home. "He said he just didn't know where else to be," she recalls. "He never said she was dead. I never said she was dead. But that was the implication. I talked about taking care of himself and that if he stayed here every night he was going to collapse and become a victim himself."
Sister Cindy Catherine is only one of innumerable clergy and counselors trying to heal broken spirits. Raphael Barberg, a Buffalo police lieutenant and deacon of St. George Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church, made the seven-plus-hour train trip to work with rescuers at Ground Zero. "The guys with their faces, the burned-out, zoned-out look—I wanted to make sure they were okay," explains Barberg, 35, the married father of two whose parish consists largely of Arab-Americans. "You could see it in their eyes, the urgency, the terror of uncovering the next rock and finding the body they were looking for. They're wondering why. What does this accomplish, to destroy human life like this? I didn't have the answers."
Indeed, many Americans have seen their faith shaken by the events of Sept. 11. "People are angry," says Sister Cindy Catherine. "They'll walk up and say, 'How can you believe?' All of that is valid. It's not our job to try to move them from where they are." As for her own faith, "I believe God was in the rubble, and God is here now."
Nicole Blackman, 32
Working round-the-clock, she delivers niceties and necessities to the city's rescue workers
"Do you need some coffee, honey?" asks Nicole Blackman as a pair of bleary recovery workers approach. "Take what you need, then take two more." As they depart with steaming cups, one worker nods at Blackman and mumbles, "She's like from another planet: home."
In fact, Blackman is from just over the East River, in Brooklyn. But in the week after the attacks, her home base has been the volunteer command center set up by the city at Stuyvesant High School, a few blocks from the World Trade Center rubble. "It was somewhat chaotic at first," she says. "We had a couple of paper plates with cookies on them, and there were piles of food everywhere. Now we have a system, and people know where to go for socks and where to go for cell-phone batteries."
In the course of 18 hours Blackman, the de facto leader of about two dozen volunteers, has doled out sandwiches, energy bars and vitamins to some 1,200 rescue workers. In the process, she has gotten to know many of their names and their needs. "I'm their mommy figure right now," says Blackman, a voice-over actress for commercials. "I care about them and know what they need. I know who's a diabetic, who needs daily vitamins, who doesn't eat ham." Donors, she notes in amazement, seem to have thought of everything. "Someone made sure vegan rescue workers had soy milk," she says. "That stuns me." So does the ongoing outpouring of offers to help. "We've seen the worst of what humanity can do, but now we're seeing the best," she says. "I'll stay here until they throw me out or until I pass out."
Kerry McGinnis, 30
Reuniting frantic owners with their stranded pets, she spreads much-needed cheer
Cats, dogs, birds, turtles, fish, a ferret and a chinchilla: Those are just some of the pets that Kerry McGinnis, a kennel manager for Manhattan's Humane Society, has helped rescue from lower Manhattan's evacuated apartments since Sept. 11. It hasn't been easy. "It took us over an hour to catch one woman's cats," says McGinnis, who, along with some 30 other volunteers, accompanies residents on the pet-retrieval missions. "We found the first cat, covered in dust, and her rabbit in its cage, but we were flipping the couch, looking under the bed for the other cat. The owner was crying. We finally found it on the top shelf of a closet."
The first animal rescuers to set up operations at Pier 40 on the Hudson River, now a command post where the city's 20,000-plus displaced residents can get police escorts for brief visits to their still off-limits apartments, McGinnis and Michael Weltz, a Humane Society vet, have been working 12-hour shifts and have helped save more than 200 pets so far. Despite days without food or water, most of the animals have been found alive. "She doesn't just rescue pets," says Patricia Sietz-Honig, who retrieved her two cats on Sept. 16 with McGinnis's help, "she reunites families."
McGinnis knows exactly what she means. "People have comfort in having their animals back," says the Ohio native, who moved to Manhattan six years ago. "For some a pet may be all they have that survived. Parents couldn't wait to tell children, 'I've got the kitty, and she's safe.' "
McGinnis's mission hasn't left her much time with her own pets—two dogs, a cat, five tortoises and 30 fish—back in the midtown apartment she shares with boyfriend Michael Govia, an actor. But she doesn't mind. "I've lost my neighbor, who worked in one of the towers," she says. "So it's been difficult to go home." When she does leave each night, "people cheer and throw thank-you letters into my car," she says. "We are all trying to do what we can."
Mohammed Tabibi, 20, and Gail Batt, 54
An Afghani-American student and a retiree forge a bountiful union for Pentagon rescuers
Compassion was his first thought, but Mohammed Tabibi had a second reason to help the rescue effort at the Pentagon, in his native Arlington, Va. The only child of Afghani immigrants who came to this country in the 1970s, he felt he had to make a stand. That was even before he knew the attack had been linked to Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden, who has been sheltered by Afghanistan's repressive Taliban government. "People look at us and think, 'They did this,' not seeing us for who we are," says Tabibi, a third-year psychology major at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. "We didn't do this. We are Americans."
On the afternoon of Sept. 11, Tabibi teamed up with Batt, a retired Transportation Department manager and fellow volunteer at the Arlington County Police Department, and "hit up every restaurant and grocery store in the vicinity," she says. Their first stop: the vast Fresh Fields market. "The manager and her staff were loading up carts like it was a game show," Batt recalls. Over the next 17 hours, the duo gathered pro bono bounty from fooderies high-end and low. "We all want to be involved," says Kim Gotcher, manager of the Italian Store, a specialty sandwich shop. "I was honored to be asked."
Altruism is nothing new for Batt, who six years ago began counseling crime victims for the Arlington police. "This small effort is just a way to put my arms around the victims and say, 'I'm here,' " she says. For his part, defiance is Tabibi's goal. "I love this country so," he says. "I do hope this will mean the Taliban is destroyed once and for all. That is the only good that will come of this."
Julia DeVita, 9
Her beloved cousin missing, a fourth-grader turns lemons into lemonade—and cash
Most days, when they're selling cool drinks and cookies to buy 'N Sync's latest CD, Julia DeVita and her best friend Caroline White, both 9, may clear around $8. Last weekend the girls, along with a few friends from their Charlotte, N.C., neighborhood, made more than $1,000. Then, after school on Monday, they raised an additional $1,400—all for the Red Cross. "We wish we could make a $10 million donation like Bill Gates," says Julia, referring to Microsoft's gift. "But we're doing what we can."
That has turned out to be plenty. Setting up the curbside stand in memory of Julia's 23-year-old cousin Jonathan Cappello, a Cantor Fitzgerald employee who worked on the 105th floor of 1 World Trade Center and remains missing, "gives them a sense of pride," says Julia's father, Rich, 38 and a financial planner. "Instead of watching replays of the tragedy, they can channel their energy into something valuable." Now the children's gift is even more valuable thanks to neighbor Shannon Wesley, 28, wife of Charlotte Hornets guard David Wesley. "Every time I drive by, I feel the need to donate, because they're working so hard," she says. "So I got our Hornets' Wives Organization to agree to match the money they raise." Her husband soon offered to do the same. For Julia, who saw one man stuff $100 in her pickle jar and whose schoolmates have been handing her donations in the hallways, helping take part in such generosity has offered her comfort in a time of sorrow. "I'm really angry. I even want to cuss," she says. "But this way I can help other people. It's a way to say I'm proud to be an American."

It's no secret that airfare from the States to Thailand is expensive. Don't let that initial cost deter you from booking this trip of a lifetime, because the savings come pouring in once you're actually there.Airfare: While flights to Bangkok from the West Coast often cost about $1000, intra-Thailand flights come to just $21-$60 (on AirAsia) per leg to bounce around and experience everything from the beaches of Ko Phi Phi to the night markets of Chiang Mai.
Hotels: Thought Vegas was the only place to find a 5-star resort for less than $160? I was easily finding luxury resorts in beach towns and cities at this price point. If you want to slum it at a 4-star resort, those are widely available for less than $70 per night across the country. There's currently a $67 deal for a 4-star Phuket suite that's half off.
Packages: If you're OK with a pre-determined schedule and someone handling all of the logistics of your trip (definitely a perk in the eyes of some) there's a lot of value in package deals. Why? For starters packagers can, in some cases, negotiate prices with airlines, especially if they're buying in bulk. A package price also allows well-known or upscale hotels to mask their low hotel-only pricing because it's bundled into a total package. This also saves the headache of planning an itinerary and making all of the individual bookings yourself.
In last week's Top 20, we published an 11-night deal that visits five cities. It includes airfare from Los Angeles and stays at 4-star hotels, including Le Meridien properties for $1499 per person. Packaging these components separately would cost at least $1000 more.
Activities: Folks don't necessarily equate Thailand with a spot chockfull of activity, but they're sorely mistaken. Here are just a few of the very common day trips available at very reasonable prices:
And the best part … the $5 30-minute massages that can literally be found around every corner. The perfect way to unwind, every day.

And stable nat gas prices will really boast earnings!!!
Good post, so tired of conflicted lazy environmentalists who refuse to spend their time as activists and actually do something as opposed to whining and preaching what they were told to. Oil is dirty business and I love it. Makes my car go vrooom, vrooom. It also allows bicycles to move without a rusty chain. Any thing that moves needs lubricant. Even Vicki. I bought COP for the long haul and dividends. Any conflicted environazis own dirty oil stock? If so, why? Is dirty oil as green for you as it is for me?
Vicki needs super lubricant.

Alford School of Ministry
BioThanks for visiting my PIU Faculty bio page! Here is a little about my ministry and my heart:I graduated from Piedmont in 1997, it has been humbling and exciting that the Lord has allowed me to return to my Alma Mater to teach in the areas of Youth ministry and Christian Education. My wife Angie (Bailey-class of 1995) and I spent 13 years in youth ministry in NC, ME, and MI. We moved to Winston-Salem from Lynchburg, Virginia in 2006. While in Lynchburg, I served as interim youth pastor at Timberlake Baptist Church and attended Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and received Masters degrees in Youth Ministry and Christian Education. In 2015, I graduated with a Doctor of Educational Ministries degree in Family Ministry and Discipleship from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
I am excited about being involved with the ministry of our local church here in Winston-Salem, I frequently speak at camps, conferences, and local church training events. When not ministering, I enjoy riding my motorcycle with Angie, having fun with our foster children, playing pick up basketball with PIU students, and an occasional round of disc golf.
If I can use the training and experience God has gifted me with to build up your church or campers, or even just to point you toward a resource, please give me a call or an email. My ministry is that of an equipper, so I truly would count it as a pleasure.
I will leave you with a passage that the Lord has used to structure my ministry; 2 Timothy 2:2 "And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."

Digital Cataloging and Review/History Internships
The Theodore Roosevelt Center at Dickinson State University is seeking interns to participate in the cataloging of historical documents in the Theodore Roosevelt Digital Library. The goal of the Center is to serve scholars, tourists, teachers, curious citizens, and students of all ages as they explore the life and achievement of the 26th President of the United States. Launched to the public in late 2011, the Theodore Roosevelt Digital Library is the primary portal the Center uses to convey that goal to a national audience. More than 20,000 items from 12 different collections are already available at www.theodorerooseveltcenter.org.
The Center has over 150,000 digitized documents from the Theodore Roosevelt Papers at the Library of Congress, including letters to and from Roosevelt, newspaper clippings, speeches and executive orders, photographs, maps, and personal diaries. Around 15,000 items have been digitized from other collections, such as the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, sites within the National Park system, and Harvard College Library. In order to make the digital files available to the public online, the Center is seeking interns to help with creation and review of metadata for these documents in our online database. Interns will work a minimum of 240 hours (approximately six weeks), participating in all facets of the development of the digital library. These will include cataloging (viewing documents on a computer screen and typing and reviewing information in a Web-based form), reviewing the work of other catalogers to make sure all standards are being met, and copyright review of collections in order to clear them for publication.
The Theodore Roosevelt Center's website includes interpretive content, such as encyclopedia articles and timelines that promote the understanding of Theodore Roosevelt's life. This content utilizes the same subject headings as the items in the digital library, to enhance the relationship with primary source documents. Interns selected for the history internship will produce a number of encyclopedia articles for publication on the website, in addition to participating in the cataloging and review of documents.
Since the work is web-based, the internships will be conducted remotely. Interns do not need to relocate to Dickinson, North Dakota, to complete their work. Training will be provided through an online classroom environment throughout the internship. A moderate hourly stipend will be offered. Internships are to be completed between May 16 and August 31, 2014.
Required qualifications:
Desired qualifications:
To Apply:
Send letter of application (including your reasons for interest in this internship) and resume to Keri Youngstrand, Digital Library Coordinator/Archivist for the Theodore Roosevelt Center, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications must be received by April 18, 2014, for consideration.

Iowa State University psychology professor Gary Wells was featured on NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams last night in a feature about faulty eyewitness identification. Bottom line: your memory is not as good as you think.
(The Register reporter on this last fall when Wells published new research on the topic.)
Watch the segment and read the story, or take the witness ID test.
Here's what Wells had to say in the NBC story:
"More controversial in scientific and law enforcement circles is whether or not the photos should be shown sequentially, that is one at a time, rather than all together.
"People are naturally wired to make comparative judgments," said Gary Wells, a psychology professor at Iowa State University who has been advocating for changes to the police lineup process for nearly 30 years. "For most of the tasks that we encounter, comparisons or judgments work pretty well. But for an eyewitness the question is not who looks most like him, the question is, is that the person?"
Last September, Wells helped publish a new study based on actual cases that found that photographs presented one-by-one, by a person unrelated to the case, significantly reduced wrongful identifications."

My recommendation would be to get your insurance with another company. I had a genuinely legitimate claim and they are, eventually, paying out. However, they have tried, and continue to try, every possible way they can to wriggle out of things. Quite simply, I don't think they are reputable and you could find a much better company for your insurance.

Biography: After studying at the Art Sudents' League of Los Angeles, Stanton Macdonald Wright, at the age of 17, moved to Paris to continue his studies. He met fellow artist Morgan Russell and together they developed Synchromism:, an aesthetic philosophy drawing upon `modernist' theories of perception. They applied musical rhythms, space and abstraction to create luminous layers of color, light and form that identified Macdonald Wright's visual `vocabulary' throughout his career.
With the advent of the War, he returned to the United States. In 1919, after three years of painting, writing and exhibiting in New York, he returned Los Angeles where he rejoined other members of the Art Students' League in revitalizing as an art center. In 1923, Stanton Macdonald Wright organized a landmark exhibition: "The Group of Independent Artists". Los Angeles artists together with friends of Standon Macdonald Wright (Thomas Hart Benton, Morgan Russell, etc) curated a `window' on modernism. From the mid-1920s through the1930s, he explored subjective composition, combining cubistic and synchromist elements. In the mid-1930s, as southern California director of the Federal Arts Project of the Works Project Administration, figuration predominated in his work.
Following World War II, with an awakening interest in Cubism, Zen Buddhism and meditation, Macdonald Wright made pilgrimage to Japan and reaffirmed his Synchromist color theories. He lived between two homes - one in Japan where haiku were translated into paintings and woodcut prints of bold, vibrant and rhythmic visual poetry; at his second home, in Malibu, California, his graphite drawings and paintings of layered brilliant color captured the beauty of the land and sea in explorations of Synchromist space and light.
Stanton Macdonald Wright was an intellectual force, an artist, an art historian, a teacher and a leader within the Los Angeles modernist community.

Omer et al1 in this issue of JAMA Surgery provide insight into the introduction of the SAPIEN transcutaneous aortic valve (Edwards Life Sciences) into a national health care system capable of tracking both procedural outcomes and long-term costs. The Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system is a new frontier for the use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) therapy. The VA patient population is diverse and complex, and the introduction of new technologies is strictly managed. As an alternative to surgical or medical therapy, TAVR provides a treatment option for patients determined to have unacceptably high, or prohibitive, operative mortality risk. There is a cohort of poor surgical candidates in this VA population for whom TAVR will be the only option for aortic valve disease treatment, and they deserve state-of-the-art technology. This study illustrates optimal implementation of an expensive new technique in a system with limited health care dollars.

One might wonder why there have been only 75 annual meetings of a surgical society representing a region of the United States with more than 350 years of a strong tradition of literature and learning, and where surgeons had made many important contributions to American and world surgery during the 19th and 20th centuries. Blame the Bostonians. Surgeons from that hub city initially opposed the formation of yet another association on the grounds that they were already involved in too many meetings. It was only when the persistence of Philemon Truesdale of Fall River, Mass, and a small cadre of like-minded independent surgeons from beyond Dedham persuaded the eminent Samuel Jason Mixter to join their cause that other Boston surgeons reluctantly agreed.
The choice of Dr Mixter was a stroke of genius. He was a busy man, soon to become President of the American Surgical Association, and his prestige and

JACKSON, MI – A jury on Tuesday convicted Roger Ozier of armed and bank robbery for entering Aeroquip Credit Union on Oct. 8, demanding money and leaving with almost $4,000.
Jackson County Circuit Judge John McBain is to sentence Ozier, 60, on June 12.
Ozier, on parole for receiving and concealing stolen property in Kent County, likely will face a long prison term, Chief Assistant Prosecutor Mark Blumer said. Both his crimes are punishable by up to life in prison.
Jurors deliberated for less than two hours before finding Ozier guilty as charged. They could have convicted Ozier of unarmed robbery.
Ozier did not have a gun, his co-defendant Darius Griffin testified, when he went into the bank and told a teller to put her hands on the counter and give him large bills.
Blumer, however, argued Ozier indicated he was carrying a weapon.
"Why else would a person keep his hand in the pocket?" Blumer told jurors.
Ozier's lawyer, Craig Pappin, said Ozier did not "orally represent" he was armed.
A teller testified he had his right hand in the front pocket of a hoodie.
At least once, he removed the hand from the sweatshirt, the lawyers said.
The teller could not identify the thief. He put on gloves and a mask like one worn on Halloween, testified Griffin, who pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and agreed to testify against Ozier.
The Prosecutor's Office initially charged Griffin with armed and bank robbery. And he spent about five months in jail on a $500,000 bond. His bond was reduced to $1,000 when he pleaded guilty and he is now out of jail.
"This is a bought and paid-for witness," Pappin argued, and only Griffin placed Ozier at the crime scene, Pappin said.
There were no fingerprints or physical evidence, Pappin said, and detectives at first thought another man was responsible.
Blackman-Leoni Township Detective Sgt. Christopher Boulter said a tip shifted investigators' focus to Ozier.
Ozier's parole officer identified him as the man seen pulling on a hoodie minutes before the robbery at a car wash within the same block as the credit union.
Car wash security footage broke open the case.
The video showed Griffin removing a car's license plate and placing a fake, temporary plate in the back window. Ozier was seen disposing of a bag that police later found contained a draft of a faked plate and a mailing marked with Griffin's address.
Security images further showed the vehicle move from the car wash toward the bank.
Almost all the events leading up to, during and following the robbery were caught on tape, Blumer said, calling the material "unexpected documentary evidence."
If the car wash images don't show Ozier, "he has a twin brother we don't know about," Blumer told jurors.

WTF is wrong with this team??? Their top player and arguably the best in the world gets elbowed in the head and not one sorry ass player does anything about it. I don't care if there is a suspension or not what i want to see is the team stand up for themselves and one another at the point when the incident happens, there is something fundamentally wrong with this team and their principles. Illitch should just relocate them to Sweden and let them play over there and Holland will be the happiest man alive. Im sorry to derail the thread but it infuriates me to watch this team and their complete lack of heart and toughness.
Just remember, the one person who would have stood up for him got demoted to GR because they absolutely had to have Cleary here. And now look at what it has cost us. Just get well quick, sweetie...that's all we can ask.

TCrumbling Relationship by Disneyluver
Summary: This is an epilogue to my "Ultimate You" series. These are true events that happened to me in fall 2004-febraury 2006
Author's notes I don't own the "Time has come" or "The winner takes it all" lyrics, which are both in Bold. There are different reasons for those song choices. I chose "The Time Has Come" not only cause it was my prom song my senior year (which makes it kind of ironic when I use it in this story) but because of the two lines used in the chorus:It's for the best I know it. Who could've guessed that you and I. .. would to say good-bye
Oops, I started rambling right in the middle of m author's notes, sorry about that. Now where was I? oh yes. () have author's notes in them.! I own nothing mentioned in this story,. If you are confused about PB, read chapter five in my "Ultimate You" series to find out what PB is. Names have been changed to protect the innocent and people's secrecy as well . This is the only chapter of "Ultimate you" that wasn't written during 2004 summer but rather in spring 2005 If you think I should have a different song in the story, please let me know in a review! Please read and review
It was fall 2004 and there was a first year student at RV's post secondary program, G, whereas Wally was a senior at RV's high school program. They had been dating for about a year and were very happy together but we thought nothing of the big troubles that lay ahead. . (How I wish I could go back and warn that poor girl about what was going to come)
The first sign of trouble was in September 2004 when their one-year anniversary was fast approaching. The girl wanted to make it a very special night so she burned him a CD and made a reservation at a restraunt called Little Italy. She even wore a skirt, something that she only did once in a blue moon, even though she did not hear the end of it from her dorm mates for a bit. The dinner was satisfactory although the girl thought that it was strange that the boy did not get her anything. The next weekend, the high school went to the Medieval Fair; where supposedly the boy had bought the girl a present but the girl never even saw anything from the Fair. She put that thought in the back of her mind and went on with her daily life.
Time passed quickly and now it was December 15. The high school had a dance called the Snowball Dance and only the three G students that had boyfriends or girlfriends at RV were allowed to attend, the girl being one of the three. She was all excited and could not wait to go and see her boyfriend. When she got to the gym where the Snowball was being held, the other two G students easily found their other halves and ditched the girl. She scanned the room but could not see her boyfriend anywhere! It was about ten or so minutes before the off- campus G dorm supervisor that had taken the girl and the other girl to the gym contacted the girl. She told her that her boyfriend had gotten in trouble that day and his punishment was that he was unable to come to the dance. The girl was crushed and decided to go back to her dorm since there was no point in staying around if he wasn't there. The girl was so steaming mad that she had to work out on the dorm's treadmill to get out her stress and also so that no one would see her cry, Luckily the girl pulled some strings and the boy was able to attend the Project Fun (the program at the local college for students with learning disabilities) holiday dance the next day at the local college. It was decided there that if the boy couldn't make it somewhere, like a dance, then he would call the girl to let her know and the same applied to the girl.
Zoom to February 10, 2005. The boy was the girl's 'shadowee' in her Animal Care class at Project Fun. At the high school, the seniors each pick a G student to follow around to all their G and Project Moving Ahead classes only (since you can not follow the G student around in their regular college classes) and stick to that G student like a shadow, hence the name shadowing. Shadowing is done so that RV seniors get a feel for what a typical day is for a G student. The person doing the shadowing was called the "shadowee" and the G student being shadowed was the 'shadower'. The girl had to rush over to the high school and get her boyfriend, who apparently forgot that he was her shadowee, before the bus left. During break, the boy ran off to see if he could get his library card renewed before the girl had a chance to tell him that shadowees are supposed to stick to their shadower's side the whole time, during break as well as during class! When he didn't come back ten minutes after break had ended, the girl ended up having to hunt him down and bring him back to class. She wanted the ground to swallow her up as she led the boy back to class.
Fast-forward to the next week, or more specifically, Tuesday, February 15. The girl wanted to go out with her boyfriend to Polcari's as a belated Valentine's Day dinner. She had saved up forty-five dollars for the dinner and he said that he was going to bring her a DVD that had come out that day at CVS. When they got to the restraunt, the girl found out that he was unable to go to CVS and only had seventeen dollars with him. The girl ended up paying for the entire meal with her hard earned money! The next day, when the girl came back from her mainstream college course, she was surprised to see him at the G café at first lunch when he was supposed to come at second lunch. When she went to get her lunch, he got out a DVD and his laptop and watched it the whole time. The girl thought that was dubious, because it was the first time that had ever happened That night at RV & G's monthly PB "takeover", the girl was shocked when the boy didn't show up or give her cell phone a call to let her know that he couldn't come! Another boy from the high school had to tell the girl that he couldn't come because he was sick. I knew something was up because he did not look sick at all earlier that day The following day, after she had come back from her regular college class the girl was eating at the G café, she suddenly broke down and bawled her eyes out. She didn't go to her Project Moving Ahead class that day, but had a very long talk with her advisor about her relationship with the boy and the past few events! While she was talking about those events with her advisor, Ms. K, the girl was shocked to find out that the boy had in fact gone to CVS and that he was supposed to give her the seventeen dollars so he could pay for his half of the bill! She knew what she had to do, although it would be very painful for her.
I close my eyes
And I can see
The day we met
Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend
'Do anything
For you
We've gone so far
And done so much
And I feel
Like we've always been together
Right by my side
Through thick and thin
You're the part of my life
I'll always remember
The time has come
It's for the best I know it
Who could've guessed that you and I...
somehow, someday
We'd have to say goodbye.
You've helped me find
The strength inside
And the courage
To make all my dreams come true
How will I find
Another friend
Like you
Two of a kind
That's what we are
And it seemed
Like we were always winning
But as our team
Is torn apart
I wish we could go
Back to the beginning
The time has come
It's for the best I know it
Who could've guessed that you and I...
Somehow, some way
We'd have to say goodbye.
Somehow today...
...we have to say goodbye.
That Friday, Ms. K, the girl and the boy all had a meeting. The girl explained what was bothering her to the boy. As they talked, the girl realized that both she and the boy were on completely different maturity levels and had totally different schedules from each other. Ms. K and the girl decided that they should break up but the way they put it was that the girl and the boy should just be friends. The boy was shocked at this and the look on his face was something the girl did not forget for a long time. The girl knew that it was the right mature descion to make, but deep down inside she felt her heart break. As a result of her being stressed over the boyfriend, the girl immune system became weak and she got sick for nearly a month (which was strange considering that the girl is generally very healthy and hardly gets sick). Everyone in her dorm, apart from her best friend, thought that she deserved getting the 'heartbreak bug', as the girl later dubbed it. she thought that the boy should have gotten sick for putting her through that emotional roller coaster ride
The End
Author's notes: Did you guess who the girl was? It's pretty clear but if you couldn't, it's me! I hope that you liked it. Please review after you've read it. I first wrote this on March 9, 2005.

The Trust for Public Land and Waipā Foundation are working to purchase two kuleana properties in Waipā–Kaluanono and Halulu Fishpond Access – to fasten Waipā Foundation on Kaua'i's north shore.
The remains of the ancient fishing village of Kauleoli lie just south of Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park on the Kona Coast of Hawai'i Island.
The Trust for Public Land is working to purchase Pu'ukua, to complete the permanent protection of this sacred landscape in Waimea Valley. Hi'ipaka LLC, a local nonprofit, will own and care for Pu'ukua, as it does the rest of the valley.
Since 2010, the Maunalua Fishpond Heritage Center has been stewarding the spring and the archaeological and cultural sites on the property.
We are working to purchase this taro farm on O'ahu and transfer it to Ka Huli O Haloa, a local nonprofit supporting Hawaiian cultural traditions and education.
The Trust for Public Land is working with partners to protect the land from development and ensure that the area's natural beauty and cultural sites will be preserved for everyone to enjoy.
The Kona Coast on the island of Hawai'i is the site of the historic battle that led to the end of the traditional kapu religious system in the early 1800s.
Nearly a half-million visitors each year come to this park on Hawai'i Island to attend demonstrations of traditional Hawaiian arts and crafts, hike a historic trail to important archeological sites associated with the highest chiefs and priests, or just soak up the atmosphere of this sacred place
Shoppers at the Costco store in the town of Hawai'i Kai in East Honolulu might be surprised to learn that there's an environmental and cultural treasure nearby. The Hāwea heiau complex reflects the land's cultural history in its ancient walls and petroglyphs, and agricultural terraces.

ANCHORAGE — So many customers ask for the state flower inked across their bodies, Juneau tattoo artist David Lang says he might as well have named his shop "The Forget-Me-Not."
Then there are the "907s" dripping with icicles and the "AKs" in Old English font. The fireweed and the Big Dippers. Lang keeps a silhouette of the state tacked to his wall in case of walk-ins.
It seems no other state — sorry, Texas — inspires such loyalty under the needle. Well-traveled tattooists working in Alaska say they've never seen anything like the Last Frontier urge to stamp yourself with state pride.
"I've worked in Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Connecticut, Louisiana and here," said Debra Yarian, one half of the husband-and-wife team that runs Eagle River Tattoo.
"The tattoo clientele here is different than it is in the Lower 48 in that they don't follow any trends, other than their own trend of getting state of Alaska (tattoos)," Yarian said. She began in the trade 33 years ago and can't recall inking any other state maps besides Texas and Hawaii.
"Nobody ever gets New Jersey," she said.
The Alaska tattoos are a kind of merit badge for residents of the most physically unforgiving, remote state in the union. A place literally apart from the rest of the U.S., where people ink evidence of their time here like soldiers after a tour of duty.
Later this summer a wave of fresh high school graduates will file through the Anchorage Tattoo Studio in Midtown, inking Alaska on their backs and biceps before leaving for trade schools and colleges Outside, said artist James Allen.
Customers ask for Big Dippers on every part of their bodies. The constellation, a nod to the state flag, is likely the most popular Alaska tattoo, followed by forget-me-nots, said Don Yarian, Debra's husband and co-worker. (Even Sarah Palin may have a Dipper. She once bet her husband Todd she'd get the state stars inked on her ankle if then-Gov. Frank Murkowski ran for re-election in 2006, which he did.)
Other Alaskans are more creative. Don once tattooed a scene of the Seward Highway winding up a forearm, embroidered with the words "C'est la vie." On another customer he inked the outline of the state map across the full width of a woman's pale back.
Don thumbed through pictures of her fresh tattoo on his iPhone. Forget-met-nots and the eight stars of the state flag covered the map, with "This is my playground" written in cursive across the woman's shoulder blades. Southeast Alaska wound down toward her kidneys, along with a small image of two happily mating moose.
"I don't ask a lot of questions," Don said.
Such hometown pride has created a kind of cottage industry among the state's 111 licensed tattooists, who become experts at inking Tlingit artwork and Northern Lights.
At Body Piercing Unlimited in Fairbanks, 907 area code designs are nearly as common as Kanji, the Japanese characters ubiquitous on lower backs across the country. "We do at least one (Alaska tattoo) a day right now," said Kyle Roll, an apprentice at the shop.
At 21, Roll already has two. One is a moose skull on his chest. The other is tattooed on his thigh: A grizzly bear with antlers.
"It's the Alaskan jackalope," he said.
At Ink & Iron, a tattoo parlor in Sioux Falls, S.D., tattooist Curtis Linton said people rarely ask for artwork commemorating the Dakotas.
He once inked the South Dakota state bird, a ring-necked pheasant, on a friend. A few other customers have asked for "605." Like Alaska, the state has just one area code, he said. Otherwise, it's mainly tribal tattoos and Bible verses.
Las Vegas tattoo artist Oz VonMunster said customers often ask for designs honoring their visit to Sin City, but are less likely to demand, say, the fence post outline of the state of Nevada.
In Juneau, summertime tour-industry workers sometimes ask for Alaska pieces, but most of the demand comes from locals, said Lang, of High Tide Tattoo.
One of the newer state pride trends is the numeral "574," artists say. That's the first three digits of Social Security numbers assigned to Alaska-born babies. Others have asked for the Northern Lights, dog sleds, Alaska Native corporation logos and Inupiat, Yup'ik and Tlingit designs.
Yvonne Brown of Eagle River is an Oregon transplant and pediatrics nurse. She moved to Fairbanks in 1964 when expectant mothers arrived at the hospital by dog team from Interior villages. For one of her first New Year's Eve celebrations in the state, her new Alaska friends took Brown out on the town. It felt like she visited every house in the city, she said.
Alaska had sunk its claws into her. She is now 69. Her husband, a retired air traffic controller, is 72. They plan to head south in a motor home this summer, but first Brown wanted a tattoo of her adopted home state. She saw a logo for a small clothing company, Alaska Roots, on a sweatshirt and asked Eagle River Tattoo to ink the design on her calf. The image is a Sitka spruce with long roots spilling into the shape of the state, Aleutians to the Panhandle.
Brown hadn't told her husband about the ink yet, but she doesn't think he'll mind. "My heart just went, 'I need to do this,'" she said.

Your're going to have trouble finding ANY automatic that will shoot anything but 22 long rifle.
October 26, 2011, 10:25 PM
You'll have to get pretty creative to put something like that together. Virtually all .22 autoloaders are going to be chambered for .22LR (if not WMR), and none is chambered for more than one type of round.
Look at the Ruger .22 Charger, and an extended-capacity banana-mag; it uses the same magazines as Ruger's 10/22 rifle.
October 26, 2011, 10:59 PM
..BTW, I like all my Keltec's...
Not high capacity and only shoots 22lr, but have you looked at 22 kit for the Kel Tec PF9? It is made by Twisted Industries ($200). If you already have a PF9 you can turn it into a 22 in about 20 seconds.
October 26, 2011, 11:32 PM

The Phase 2 N01 Program is a CTEP-CIP collaboration includes 7 contractors, most of whom consist of multi-institutional consortia, and includes a total of 22 NCI-designated Cancer Centers. These sites carry out early clinical trials with CTEP and CIP-held IND agents, with an emphasis on phase 2 trials, but including phase 1 trials as well. These trials include the evaluation of novel imaging agents and methods to enhance the evaluation of novel therapeutics.
The QIN Imaging Network is designed to promote research and development of quantitative imaging methods for the measurement of tumor response to therapies in clinical trial settings, with the overall goal of facilitating clinical decision making.
Cooperative agreement (U54) awards to establish Specialized Research Resource Centers that will participate as members of a network of inter-disciplinary, inter-institutional research teams for the purpose of supporting translational research in optical imaging and/or spectroscopy in vivo, with an emphasis on multiple modalities.
Resource grants that support shared imaging research resources to be used by cancer investigators and research related to small animal imaging technology.
ICMIC grants facilitate interaction among scientists from a variety of fields to conduct multidisciplinary research on cellular and molecular imaging related to cancer. Pre-ICMIC planning grants have provided time and funds for investigators and institutions to prepare themselves, organizationally and scientifically, to establish ICMICs.
DCIDE is no longer taking applications, as of August 2009. Imaging drug development resources should be requested through the new NExT/CBC program which has its own application and review process. See NCI Experimental Therapeutics Program (NExT). There are 4 review dates per year, instead of the previous DCIDE submission and review process.

White House calls draft immigration plan a backup
WASHINGTON -- Republicans and Democrats alike on Sunday predicted President Barack Obama would fail if he pushed forward with his own effort to overhaul the nation's immigration system and urged the administration to hold off while lawmakers work on a bipartisan measure.
Republican Sen. John McCain predicted the administration's efforts would come up short if the White House went forward with a proposal to put the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. on a long pathway to citizenship. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, who met with Obama on Wednesday at the White House to discuss progress, urged his allies in the administration to give a bipartisan group of eight lawmakers the time to hammer out a deal on their own.
Obama's newly appointed top aide, chief of staff Denis McDonough, said the White House would only send its plan to Congress if the lawmakers stumble in their efforts and cast its efforts as a backup plan.
"Well, let's make sure that it doesn't have to be proposed," McDonough said of the president's pitch, first reported on USA Today's website late Saturday.
"We will be prepared with our own plan if these ongoing talks between Republicans and Democrats up on Capitol Hill break down," McDonough said in a second interview, adding he's optimistic they will not crumble.
The administration's proposal would create a visa for those in the country illegally and allow them to become legal permanent residents within eight years. The proposal also requires businesses to know the immigration status of their workers and adds more funding for border security.
It drew immediate criticism from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
"If actually proposed, the president's bill would be dead on arrival in Congress, leaving us with unsecured borders and a broken legal immigration system for years to come," said Rubio, who is among the eight lawmakers searching for a comprehensive plan.
Many of the details in the administration's draft proposal follow the broad principles that Obama previously outlined. But the fact that the administration is writing its own alternative signaled Obama wants to address immigration sooner rather than later and perhaps was looking to nudge lawmakers to move more quickly.
The tactic potentially complicates the administration's work with Congress.
Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin lawmaker who was his party's vice presidential nominee in 2012, said the timing of the leak suggested the White House was looking for "a partisan advantage and not a bipartisan solution."
"Leaking this out does set things in the wrong direction," Ryan said. "There are groups in the House and the Senate working together to get this done and when he does things like this, it makes that much more difficult to do that."

To the Editor. —
During the past three years, after numerous articles related to the amylase-creatinine clearance ratio in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, we have investigated the usefulness of this test and found consistently that the clearance ratio is a relatively insensitive test for patients with acute pancreatitis. It should be emphasized that, by performing the ratio, there are actually four analytical determinations, ie, two amylase and two creatinine. On the basis of cost effectiveness, the ratio should, therefore, be compared with the four separate determinations of either serum or urine amylase. We found that the clearance ratio is no more effective than doing a single determination of both serum and urine amylase in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.I have one suggestion to put at rest the amylase-creatinine clearance ratio; the title of the article by Farrar and Calkins published in the Archives (138:958-962, 1978) should be entitled

According to the News Tribune, the DUI case for Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch will go on trial on June 21st.
According to Teresa Drenick, assistant district attorney for the Alameda County District Attorney's office, Lynch has a May 22 court date for a motion to suppress evidence and a motion to dismiss the case.
Another date to keep in mind is June 21, when the case is set to go to a jury trial.
Lynch, 26, was arrested by the California Highway Patrol early Saturday morning on July 14 when a police officer observed him driving north on Interstate 880 in Oakland, weaving in and out of lanes in a white Ford van, and nearly colliding with two cars.
After failing a preliminary sobriety test, Lynch was taken into custody and transported to the Alameda County Sheriff department's north county jail in Oakland. Lynch submitted to a breathalyzer test, and the test came back positive that his blood alcohol content level was over the state's legal limit of 0.08.
The Alameda County District Attorney's office filed charges against Lynch for driving under the influence of alcohol on Wednesday, July 18.

The Duchess of Northumberland, in her capacity as Lord Lieutenant for the county, presented the Commonwealth Flag to the county's Civic Head, Kath Nisbett at Alnwick Castle on Monday.
The flag presentation was replicated by Lord Lieutenants across the United Kingdom.
At 10am on March 10, the Commonwealth flag will be raised at County Hall in Morpeth and on the roof of Alnwick Castle - among the 500 Commonwealth flags to be raised throughout the country to mark Commonwealth Day.
It is the first time that local authorities and civic dignitaries, community groups and charities have joined together in local flag raising events and ceremonies of dedication to mark the occasion.
The Duchess of Northumberland said: "I am happy to be supporting 'Commonwealth Day' which is not only about promoting understanding of 'The Commonwealth', its history and its role in society today but it is also about encouraging our communities to think about the way that The Commonwealth works; tackling and resolving issues that affect everyone together, and making this happen more often at local level.
"By flying the Commonwealth Flag at Alnwick Castle and also at County Hall, Morpeth, we are coming together with many other counties across The UK, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man to support Commonwealth Day on March 10. We also look forward to the Commonwealth Games taking place in Glasgow later this year."

WRs Brown, Moseby-Felder step up
UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State clearly missed leading receiver Derek Moye (broken foot), completing just 10-of-23 passes, but two players did their best to pick up the slack in his absence.
Brandon Moseby-Felder, a redshirt sophomore, had a 21-yard reception and a 19-yard grab down to the 1 to set up a TD on PSU's second series.
"With Moye being out, he's like a brother to me," Moseby-Felder said. "It was kind of like it hurt me a little bit. But at the same time, it's time for me to step up and make the plays for my team."
Moye is expected to miss at least one more game after breaking his foot Tuesday when he slipped on stairs in his apartment. He was in street clothes and accompanied the other team captains to midfield for the pregame coin toss.
Moseby-Felder said Moye was helping out on the sideline "coaching me up, telling me what to do, what the safeties are doing, the cornerbacks are doing."
Justin Brown led the Nittany Lions with four catches for 86 yards, including a spectacular one-handed grab from Matt McGloin despite getting interfered with that went for 34 yards early in the fourth quarter.
"No, not at all," Brown said when asked if he's surprised the team is 6-1. "We know that we can be 6-1. We know that we could have probably won that game that we lost [to Alabama] if we could have capitalized on some things. So we know we're a good team, and that's what we have to prove to you guys."
With Moye out, the coaches removed receiver Devon Smith from deep on kickoff returns and replaced him with cornerback Adrian Amos.
Lynn returns to action
Cornerback D'Anton Lynn returned after missing two games with a concussion suffered in week four against Eastern Michigan.
"It was real tough," Lynn said of sitting out. "It was the first two games I've missed since I've been here, so it was hard to watch."
He had hoped to be back last week against Iowa but added, "It was probably smart for me not to."
"Even when I started this game, I was still real timid at first just because I hadn't had full contact," he said. "But as I started playing, I started getting back to my old self."
That took a little while, though.
"Honestly, not until the fourth quarter," Lynn said. "I just needed one good hit, and I finally got a good hit in the fourth quarter."
JoePa spends entire game in press box
Joe Paterno was on the field during pregame warmups but was not able to coach from the sideline and spent the game in the press box.
"Last week, in the first half kids were trying to save me from getting run over, and in the process they would grab me," Paterno said. "It's almost like all over again. My leg hurts and my hip. Nothing serious, it's just that I'm getting to be a sissy in my old age. I can't handle it, and I'm fighting a cold. I just thought it would be better. If I can't move around down there, I get in the way."
Morris on overturned call: 'That's bull'
Penn State cornerback Stephon Morris had a great individual effort defending a pass and forcing a fumble that he recovered and returned for big yardage, only to see the play wiped out on a replay reversal.
"That's bull," Morris said with a laugh.
Purdue quarterback Robert Marve connected with O.J. Ross for what initially looked to be a 37-yard gain down the right sideline late in the first half with PSU leading, 7-6. Morris, returning to action after missing last week with an ankle injury, had tight coverage on Ross and stripped the ball as the receiver brought it down and tried to run.
"I thought it was going to be a perfect pass over the top of his shoulder, so I let him play his hands, and I just ripped the ball out of there," Morris said.
Morris scooped up the fumble and zigzagged his way across the field to the Purdue 19. The officials reviewed the play and overturned it.
"There was no possession," referee Dave Witvoet said. "He didn't complete the catch, and that was before he dropped it."
Catching a break
The Morris play didn't go PSU's way, but the Lions appeared to have caught a break when safety Nick Sukay intercepted a pass from Caleb TerBush late in the third quarter.
Chaz Powell tipped a pass into the air, and Sukay made a diving grab that was ruled an interception. One replay appeared to show the ball hit the ground, but the officials reviewed it and upheld the call on the field.
"We let that stand, because you couldn't tell," Witvoet said.
Sukay said after the game he had not yet seen the replay. He did, however, say the defense didn't have its best day.
"As a defense, we feel that we didn't come to play the way we needed to," Sukay said. "We need to come out with more intensity and just be a sound defense, and that's something we didn't do."
Purdue gives PSU defense good test
The Lions came into the game ranked fourth in the nation in total defense, allowing just 251 yards per game, but the Boilermakers had 344, including 169 on the ground. They were done in by missing a PAT and a 44-yard field goal.
Purdue coach Danny Hope was asked if it was a game of missed opportunities for his team and said, "I think both sides would probably make the same statements."
"We were a heavy underdog [12 points] coming into this stadium for their homecoming, and our team fought hard," Hope said. "We are a lot better football team now than we were in game one, two, three and four."
TerBush completed 12-of-25 passes for 162 yards with two interceptions and one touchdown. Running back Ralph Bolden kept his team in the game with 97 yards on 13 carries, including a 39-yard burst, while Akeem Shavers had 54 yards on 13 carries.
"There's a lot of things to build on," Bolden said. "The offense needs to focus on putting the ball in the end zone instead of settling for field goals."
Huntingdon's Gibboney on Purdue staff
Penn State does not have one designated special teams coach, which for years has been a point of frustration for fans, while Huntingdon native and former Pitt kicker J.B. Gibboney handles those duties for Purdue.
Gibboney, 29, was on the staff at Eastern Kentucky in 2006 and '07 under Hope. Gibboney was a graduate assistant with the Boilermakers in 2008, then became the special teams coordinator in 2009.
