Yep, Bob is worried about what Mayweather would say to Manny and not about losing his cash cow.
I cant believe we still have imbeciles out there that believe Arum really wants the fight to happen. Its clear as night and day. Top Rank are good match makers, they know very well that Mayweather is just too dangerous, too high a risk for Manny. The probability of Manny losing against Mayweather is high, that's a risk Top Rank and Bob do not want to make. Arum and his company would rather Manny lose to an in house Top Rank fighter then to someone outside. Its smart business but when it comes to real boxing fans, its complete bullshit.
Manny will never be allowed to face Mayweather until he leaves Top Rank and makes the fight himself. Which means, we're never going to see the fight, its simple as that.

Like I said you will take whatever Pacs last no was about as being Floyds roadblock no matter how the big picture is painted , Floyd brings more money into every fight he is in and he wants a bigger slice , whether you think its fair or unfair is not a qualified judgement on the business side of the equation .
To be honest I dont get it , I think its more about the animosity between Floyd Arum and GB than the money , if I were Floyd I would go hard for a winner take all deal , he likes to gamble well gamble it all on himself , but thats me thats what I would do in the situation they are in .

You can post a million articles about it...they will ignore and continue with the spin
From Pacs own camp in 2011
MANILA, Philippines Manny Pacquiaos conditioning coach Alex Ariza took a swing at boxing promoter Bob Arum for allegedly preventing the fight between the Filipino boxing icon and archrival Floyd Mayweather Jr. from happening.
Ariza claimed that Arum only wanted Pacquiao to fight Top Ranks boxers so that Top Rank will get all the profits.
Its clear as to why the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight has never happened. It's always about what's best for Bob and his agenda Whoever Manny fights, he has to fight in-house, Ariza told Fighthype.coms Ben Thompson.
Ariza claimed that another reason why Arum is opposing a Mayweather fight because of his hatred towards the unbeaten boxer and his handlers.
Ariza said Arum does not want Mayweather to make a dime out of Pacquiao.
Arum hates Floyd Mayweather, can't stand him, he doesn't want to see him make a dollar, can't stand Golden Boy, doesn't want to do business with them, he said.
Pacquiao earlier announced that talks for the Mayweather fight are now ongoing.
He said he sent his adviser, Michael Koncz, to talk to Arum about the superfight.
However, Ariza claimed that Koncz is in cahoots with the boxing promoter.
I know that Michael Koncz says that he's having a meeting with Bob to negotiate the Mayweather fight. They're having a meeting on how to make sure that this fight doesn't happen. That's what their meeting is about, said Ariza.
Ariza said he and boxing coach Freddie Roach have been actively pursuing the Mayweather fight because it will be good for Pacquiao.
He said putting Pacquiao in another rematch against Juan Manuel Marquez is bad strategy.
If Manny wants to fight Floyd and if he fights Floyd, and hypothetically loses to Floyd, the Marquez fight is still there, explained Ariza.
If Manny fights Marquez and he loses to Marquez, the Floyd fight is gone, he added.

Naming rights up for grabs at 7 CNM campuses
Money will go to scholarships
Published 6:22 PM MDT Sep 03, 2013
There are 300 spaces at CNM's seven campuses that are up for bid. Donors would be paying for naming rights of buildings, labs and lobbies.
The CNM Foundation is trying to raise $10 million in three years. All of the money will go to student scholarships.
"We think in the end this will increase graduation rates in CNM, because this could give money to students thinking about dropping out because of unforeseen financial obstacles," said foundation executive director Lisa McColloch.
Fourteen local businesses have paid $1 million so far and donations range from $10,000 to $4 million.

Comments about It Cosmetics YLBB Your Lips But Better Waterproof Lip Liner Stain, Cherry Flush, 1 ea:
I got this pencil in cherry flush. On my medium olive skin it comes out as a very pretty watermelon color. It does also stay on well and wears off evenly not in the middle first. The only reason I gave it 4 stars not 5 is because I did not find it as "creamy" as advertised. For me it is a little dry and works better if I but on a tiny bit of clear balm first.
- Skin Tone:

The Magic hope some of the team's starting players can play Wednesday after four of them remained court-side during the last game.
The team lost against the 76ers on Tuesday night.
J.J. Reddick, Arron Arron Afflalo, Jameer Nelson and Glenn Davis did not play during the game.
The match-up lasted less than two hours. Orlando's players made only 34 percent of their shots, losing 78 to 61.
On Wednesday, the team takes on the Clippers. It's not clear whether any of the starting players will return.

>What's it like growing up with mystery-writer parents? "I began dictating stories to my father when I was 3," says Jesse Kellerman, 28. "Apple of Danger—it was the first of my Fruit of Danger series." These days, though—unlike dad Jonathan and mom Faye (whose second joint effort, Capital Crimes, came out last November)—"I don't write a series. And my books aren't detective stories." He did collaborate with his mom "on a story, and we fought a lot. I was just a teenager throwing a tantrum." But don't rule out future family collaborations. "My three sisters," Kellerman says, "are all very gifted writers."

Now that the Garden State's budget discussion is under way, we will again hear about the massive structural deficit and the need for budget cuts. This dialogue on how to reduce the cost of government provides a great opportunity to evaluate the functions, structure and management — process and people — of state government.
School and municipal leaders are being told to control their spending and live within a 2 percent budget cap. They are warned that state aid is in jeopardy if they do not comply. Teachers are being told their tenure is at risk and their salary increases will be based
on merit.
Mayors say they need flexibility and tools to help them achieve this budget target. Teachers unions are standing up for the status quo or a split-the-difference approach. Everyone is anxious.
With all the focus on municipal, school and local government entities, it is an opportune time to change the way the state manages itself. It is clear, now more than ever, that government must be reinvented. It is dated, slow and in need of change.
Some government employees believe they are entitled to the job they have and that they are allowed to be unproductive with minimal consequence.
The civil service system that protects unproductive employees through complex rules and slow, arduous protocols is in need of a comprehensive overhaul. Civil service has evolved into an intricate mess of job titles and bureaucratic procedures that exasperate the best of managers. It allows unproductive employees to cloak themselves in a protective bureaucracy that frustrates managers enough to look the other way, rather than confront an employee's shortcomings.
Think of the frustration of a person who believes working hard and contributing 110 percent to his or her job is the moral and ethical thing to do, then have to watch another employee do the bare minimum and lack any passion for the task he or she is being paid to do. We can only imagine what a productive employee, watching an unproductive colleague, is thinking when that person receives the same salary increase everyone else does. Excellence must be rewarded.
If teacher tenure is in its last days, then the days of the unproductive state worker also should end.
So far, we have seen work force reductions through attrition. Allowing people to retire and then limiting managers from hiring needed talent to fill positions helps achieve the goal of lowering the total number of employees. It is success for the politician, disaster for the managers. This squeezing to lower costs, along with the lack of succession planning, does not achieve greater productivity — it is a recipe for ruin.
Yes, government can be realigned, structured in a way to reduce waste, improve workflow and decrease staffing requirements; but as long as a civil service system is used to protect the unproductive employee, full efficacy will never be achieved.
A change to this system will allow employees to grow in their positions, and provide greater satisfaction and sense of accomplishment for their career. It also can provide opportunity for innovative ideas to flourish and create a welcoming environment for talented young people.
Productive civil servants can continue the long and rich tradition of serving the public with integrity. These worthy employees deserve our support.
For our state to thrive, it needs industrious people managing a lean and effective government, one we can afford.

The inquest will have already begun.
The planning will have already started.
The players will have been sighted.
The moves and the money will follow shortly.
Losing the Premier League title to Manchester City may herald one of the biggest shifts in strategy at Manchester United.
According to a story in the Daily Mail (http://bit.ly/JbpCmr) Sir Alex Ferguson wants to sign three Borussia Dortmund players.
Manchester United has already marked out attacking midfielder Shinji Kagawa, but this report says Fergie is also lining up moves for Poland striker Robert Lewandowski and Germany defender Mats Hummels.
Sir Alex was personally present to watch Dortmund's 5-2 German Cup final win over Bayern Munich on Saturday night, where Lewandowski scored a hat-trick.
Lewandowski's agent Maik Barthel was quoted in the report as saying: "I can confirm there is interest from Manchester United."
The question right now on every one's mind is which player is United going to bring in to match Yaya Toure.
Toure has been identified as the key behind City's triumph.
In Nemanja Vidic, United can match Vincent Kompany, but what about in the centre of the park?
United would have to pay close on £50million for all three Dortmund players.

Deconstructing the Drug Development Process: The New Face of Innovation Kenneth Kaitin, Ph.D., Director, Tufts Center for Study of Drug DevelopmentFor over 30 years, the Center for the Study of Drug Development at Tufts University has documented the increasing challenge of bringing new pharmaceutical products to market. To succeed in today's competitive marketplace, research-based drug and biotech companies must not only maintain their focus on R&D efficiency and output, but they must also be able to adjust to a rapidly changing and highly volatile R&D environment. In this presentation, Dr. Kaitin will use Tufts CSDD data to document the current status of pharmaceutical R&D and explore new models of innovation.
To the $1,000 Genome — and Beyond Kevin Davies, Ph.D., Author, The $1,000 Genome; Editor-in-Chief, Bio-IT WorldThe field of genome analysis has undergone a revolution in recent years. Next-generation sequencing technologies have dropped the cost of sequencing a human genome from about $1 million in 2007 to less than $10,000 in 2010, with new third- and fourth-generation technologies on the horizon. But will the arrival of the $1,000 genome have any meaningful impact on drug development and the practice of medicine? Kevin Davies, author of The $1,000 Genome will share his observations on the landmarks in next-generation sequencing. He will also highlight the challenges that remain in next-gen data generation, analysis and dissemination for the research and medical communities.

Settling-In Services For International Assignees
Few of life's transitions are more stressful for employees and their families than moving to a new, unfamiliar city. The stress is magnified even more when moving to a new country. CORT has developed a comprehensive suite of destination support services to ease the transition for international assignees and their families, and ensure that companies have employees focused on the job from day one.
Perhaps the most important decision employees will make during the transition is choosing a place to live. Touring and destination services accelerate the transition and help employees and families become familiar with the nuances of different neighborhoods and the social and cultural 'scene' of the neighborhoods. Without guidance from experts familiar with the local market, this can be a daunting task for these employees and their families.
After becoming one of the nation's leading providers of local market orientation and housing tours, CORT extended the program to include a broad range of settling-in services specifically designed for employees moving into the United States.
These services include guided assistance obtaining a social security card, driver's license and auto insurance, establishing a bank account, enrolling in driving schools and language classes, learning to use public transportation systems, buying or renting a car, learning to use US-style appliances, and more - virtually anything needed to settle into a new home and community.
From a housing and neighborhood perspective, CORT's destination consultants will also provide other services that include renting furniture, connecting utilities, signing up for renter's insurance, and providing information to become more familiar with the community, such as schools and day care services, churches, shopping, entertainment, recreational sports and fitness activities.
"CORT has brought multiple employees from one of Tampa's largest employers to tour our property," said Mishelle Estrada, community manager for Portofino Apartments Homes in Tampa, Fla. "The positive word-of-mouth feedback these new residents are sharing with their family and friends is a testament to the level of comfort this service provides while simplifying what might have been a difficult transition for relocating employees and their families."

In the latest debate over breast cancer screening, states are passing laws requiring mammography centers to tell women about their breast density so they can consider more imaging tests, such as ultrasound and MRI.
Dense breast tissue makes finding cancer on a mammogram more difficult. It may also increase the chance of developing breast cancer.
In the four years since Connecticut passed the first breast density law, 10 states have done so. Bills are pending in 19 states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and a federal bill has been introduced.
This movement is being driven by breast cancer survivors who learned they had dense breasts only after being diagnosed with advanced cancers missed by mammograms. "My hope is to prevent another woman from going through my personal tragedy - 'normal' mammograms yet a hidden invasive cancer robbing me of the promise of early detection," said Kathryn Thomas, 63, of Harrisburg.

I. A National Strategy for Juvenile Delinquency Prevention
The latest statistics on juvenile crime and delinquency in the United States provide encouraging evidence that Federal, State, and local prevention and intervention strategies are taking hold. Juvenile arrests for violent crime are substantially below their peak in the early 1980's, suggesting that the feared "wave of violence" may be subsiding. In 1997, for the third year in a row, the total number of juvenile arrests for violent crimes declined, despite continued growth in the juvenile population. Most notably, the number of juvenile arrests for murder decreased 39 percent from 1993 to 1997. During the same period, arrests for weapons law violations dropped 23 percent (Snyder, 1998).
Despite the recent and encouraging reversal of national arrest and juvenile drug use trends, however, the problems of juvenile crime and delinquency remain far from eradicated. In 1997, law enforcement agencies made an estimated 2.8 million arrests of persons under the age 18, including 123,400 arrests for violent crimes, 701,500 for property crimes (i.e., burglary, larceny theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson), and 220,700 for drug abuse violations (Snyder, 1998). Arrest data tell only part of the story of the well-being of children and youth in our country. According to the 1997 Monitoring the Future Survey, almost one in three 12th graders and one in four 10th graders reported heavy drinking (at least five drinks in a row in the previous 2 weeks) and roughly a quarter of 12th and 10th graders reported using illicit drugs in the previous 30 days (Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, 1998). Additionally, while adolescent birth rates have declined in the 1990's, in 1996 there were approximately 34 births per 1,000 young women ages 15 to 17 (Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, 1998).
The factors that place youth at risk of adolescent problem behavior are still all too prevalent in families and communities. Almost 1 million children were the victims of substantiated child abuse and neglect in 1996 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1998) and 20 percent of children under age 18 lived in poverty (Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, 1998). Firearms and drugs are frequently too easy for youth to access, and community laws and norms in some cities and towns may inadvertently send the wrong messages to our Nation's youth.
We need to build on our recent accomplishments in the prevention and reduction of juvenile crime by continuing to implement community-based prevention and early intervention programs that address risk factors, strengthen families, and provide youth with opportunities to succeed. Further, the use of accountability-based sanctions is vital to protecting the public and dealing with juvenile offenders.
The Title V Community Prevention Grants Program provides communities with the resources needed to identify and respond to the root causes of their local juvenile delinquency problems through comprehensive, collaborative prevention planning. The program offers training and technical assistance to communities as they conduct assessments and develop local plans, and then provides seed funding to help communities implement their plans over a 3-year period. In the process, communities are empowered to initiate delinquency prevention programs that best suit their unique needs and circumstances. With the Community Prevention Grants Program, OJJDP has developed, implemented, and is now testing the effects of a delinquency prevention strategy that is firmly grounded in research and the science of prevention. Communities across the country are translating this research into practice and beginning to see positive results from their efforts.
This chapter begins with a summary of key research findings on juvenile crime and delinquency and effective approaches to prevent and control it. The second section briefly describes OJJDP's Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile Offenders and the role Title V plays in the prevention component. The final section provides an overview of the Community Prevention Grants Program, with a discussion of its key principles, grant award process, capacity building components, and national evaluation strategy.

After a painful (and boring) bye week, the Colts were ready to play some football again, this time against a division rival: the Houston Texans.
With a 2-5 record, Houston entered the game as one of the biggest disappointments of the 2013 NFL Season. Still, being a divisional game, it wasn't going to be an easy one for Indy, especially after losing veteran WR Reggie Wayne.
Let's take a look at the Colts' three units, see how well they did against the Texans and pick out the best player of each unit.
It wasn't a bad start for the Colts offense. Their first play was a nice catch by Coby Fleener for a 44-yd gain. Not bad, huh? Problem is, the Colts would only get six yards on their next three plays so they had to settle with a FG attempt.
Their next drive wasn't any better. On 3rd and 4, T.Y. Hilton dropped an easy pass, so it was time to punt the ball. Problem here was, they ran the ball five straight times and passed it only once. Sure, Trent Richardson got a first down on the ground, but the Colts need to let Luck throw the ball more!
The disappointment would continue.
With five minutes to go, Andrew Luck threw a deep pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey. It would pay off, as the Colts got a pass interference call, and a 1st & goal with it. Unfortunately, the offensive line was completely useless. Luck got sacked, and the Colts had to settle with a FG. That was the third sack allowed in the first half.
The second half started a bit better for the offense. It's true that Andrew Luck got sacked again and missed an open Griff Whalen in the end zone, but the Colts still got three points.
The Colts almost forgot about running the ball and, guess what? That worked pretty well for them. At the end of the third quarter and after a Roughing the Passer call, Luck threw a BEAUTIFUL pass to T.Y. Hilton for the Colts first TD of the game.
After that, they just wouldn't stop scoring. On the second play of their next drive, Luck threw a perfect deep ball to T.Y. Hilton for their second TD of the game. Two TDs, two perfect throws. The Colts offense looked unstoppable at this point.
Down 24-19, even Trent Richardson had a huge play: A 24-yd reception! Luck would find Hilton a couple of plays later for their third TD of the game. But it wasn't over! They went for the 2-point conversion and Luck threw yet another perfect pass, this time to Coby Fleener to get the two points and a 27-24 lead.
You know how much the Colts D struggled against Andre Johnson in the first half? Well, something similar happened to the Texans in the second half against T.Y. Hilton. Without Reggie Wayne, it was Hilton's job to be Luck's new best friend, and he didn't disappoint.
The running game is still pretty irrelevant. In the second half, the Colts barely ran the ball, and it worked great for them. It's funny how that works.
Boy, what a game by Andrew Luck. The first half was horrible for the whole team including him, but he was absolutely fantastic in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter. Just let him throw the ball and good things are going to happen.
It was a miserable first half for the offense. The second half though, was nearly perfect.
Grade: C+
Offensive player of the game: Andrew Luck
Down 21-6 at the half and with absolutely nothing going right for the Colts, Andrew Luck found a way to pull an improbable win against Houston. He threw three TD passes (two in the fourth quarter), all three to T.Y. Hilton. Two of those TD throws were simply beautiful and that 2-point conversion to Fleener was another amazing pass. Luck finished with 271 yards and three TD passes.
Not a good start by the Colts defense. They were completely lost during Houston's first possession, as the Texans needed just three plays to score a TD. Andre Johnson ate Vontae Davis alive on a deep play and just like that, the Colts were down by seven.
After a blocked FG, the Texans would start their next drive on Colts territory. Fortunately, the defense managed to keep the scoreboard 7-0 after stopping Ben Tate on a 4th and 1 play.
On the next drive, Andre Johnson would score his second TD on a deep pass. This time, it was Antoine Bethea with the mistake. Covering Johnson, Bethea apparently hesitated for a bit, giving the Texans' WR enough space to find himself wide open in the endzone.
Right before the half Andre Johnson would have another huge play, this time a 28-yd gain beating Darius Butler. After a 23-yd run by Keenum, the Texans' QB threw it to Andre Johnson AGAIN to get their third TD of the game. Johnson beat Davis again. #80 was sure having a lot of fun, and the Colts apparently had no idea how to stop him.
We didn't know it at the time, but that would be Houston's final TD of the game.
In the second half, the defense didn't get a turnover, but they managed to hold the Texans to just three points. Sure, the Texans missed three field goals (two in the second half) meaning they still moved the ball pretty well, but the defense did enough to keep the Colts in the game. Bend but don't break.
When the Colts finally got the lead late in the fourth quarter, the defense allowed the Texans to get into field goal range. Luckily, the Texans would miss the FG. Game over.
Colts HC Chuck Pagano also deserves some credit for challenging a crucial play. Down 24-19 and on 3rd and 7, Andre Johnson had caught a pass from Keenum and the refs gave him the first down. Pagano challenged and the play was reversed and called an incomplete pass. It wasn't clear if he had possession or not, but with such horrible refs, it was worth to gamble there. Chuck did and it paid off. Good job, coach.
Grade: C+
Defensive player of the game: Pat Angerer
He finished the game with 7 tackles and 5 assists, and towards the end of the game he did a good job pressuring Case Keenum. Nothing spectacular, but it was still a solid game for the LB.
So, the start wasn't good for the offense or the defense. For the STs, it wasn't any different as Houston blocked a FG early in the first quarter. The Texans recovered and would've returned it for a TD if it wasn't for yet another awesome Pat McAfee tackle.
McAfee had quite a start. On his first punt, he lost the ball, recovered it and amazingly still managed to punt it. Sadly, that awesome play was negated by a penalty. On the 4th down replay, the refs didn't throw a flag for a grotesque roughing the kicker penalty. It was a horrible miss from the refs and it wouldn't end here.
With 3:28 to go, the Colts STs forced a fumble on a kickoff return and they recovered the football. The refs would reverse the call, saying LaVon Brazill was out of bounds when he touched the ball with his foot right before the Colts recovered it. The replay never showed such a thing. In order to reverse a play, the evidence has to be conclusive. Here, it wasn't even close.
In the second half, things got a bit easier for the STs. Pat McAfee had one punt, which came late in the 4th quarter when the Colts already had the lead.
Adam Vinatieri finished the game with 2 FGs.
Grade: B

Translational research means different things to different people,
but it seems important to almost everyone. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has made translational research a priority, forming centers of translational research at its institutes and launching the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program in 2006.
With 24 CTSA-funded academic centers already established, other universities are transforming themselves to compete for upcoming CTSA grants. By 2012, the NIH expects to fund 60 such centers with a budget of $500
million per year.1
Besides academic centers, foundations, industry, disease-related organizations, and individual hospitals and health systems have also established translational research programs and at least 2 journals (Translational Medicine and the Journal of Translational Medicine) are devoted to the topic. By some accounts, translational research has become a centerpiece of the European Commission's €6
billion budget for health-related research, and the United Kingdom has invested £450 million over 5 years to establish translational research centers.2

LEWISTOWN - Three-pointers were flying all over the place on Monday night at Mifflin County High School.
In the end, though, it was the play of Altoona senior forward Darby Lee, who scored six points in the final 40 seconds that lifted the visiting Lady Lions over Mifflin County, 69-66, in a high school girls basketball contest.
"You've got to give them credit," Mifflin County coach Roger Herto said. "At the end, Darby Lee showed why she was a great player. It was obvious who they wanted to get the ball to. The two biggest foul shots of the night, she comes down here and cans them both. That's pretty good on their part."
Huskies senior Ashleigh Williams did her best to match her senior counterpart, aggressively taking the ball to the basket every time the opportunity arose.
Senior Rebeka Knable connected for a 3-pointer from the left-hand corner getting the Huskies off to a quick 5-1 lead with 5:15 left in the first quarter.
Knable started the barrage from 3-point land for both teams, as the teams combined for seven 3s in the opening quarter.
Altoona's Lauren Donley had an answer for Knable's 3-point stroke. The Altoona senior guard hit four 3s in the first quarter, accounting for 12 of Altoona's 16 points.
"Tonight was a night they shot pretty well," Herto said. "Some of that was them, obviously great shooting, but a lot of that was defense. I don't think we did a great job of getting out on defense."
Breanna Cline's jumper as the quarter expired gave the Huskies a 19-16 lead after the first.
At the start of the second quarter, Sarah Donley, Lauren's younger sister, jumped in on the 3-point shooting fest for Altoona.
She made three 3-pointers in the first 4 minutes of the second quarter to help make it 32-30 Mifflin County.
Rachel Dibert's free throw, followed by Lee's drive, gave Altoona its first lead of the game at 33-32 with 2:40 left in the second quarter.
Cline, the third Mifflin County senior, quickly answered on the next Huskies possession to put them back up 34-33.
Jessa Wright. who scored a team-high 20 points, made a 3 that gave Mifflin County some instant breathing room before Dibert drove and converted the free throw to settle the score at 37-36 going into the half.
The Donleys combined for nine 3s and 27 of Altoona's 36 first-half points.
Wright and Williams both had 10 points for the Huskies in the opening half, and Knable added nine on three 3-pointers.
The teams traded points back-and-forth to start the third quarter until Lee's layup put Altoona up 44-42 with just less than 6 minutes left in the third.
Lauren Donley added her seventh 3 to give her a game-high 21, and the Lady Lions had their largest lead of the night at 47-42.
Williams then drove on two straight possessions and hit 2-of -4 resulting free throws to put the Huskies to within two at 49-47.
Wright's offensive rebound and putback evened the game at 49, and Cline put the Huskies back ahead.
Maggie Wilson gave Mifflin County another lead with two free throws with 6 minutes left.
Wright added two more 3-pointers to give the Huskies a 61-60 lead with 2:31 left in the game.
Williams extended the lead with two more free throws to make it 63-60.
Sarah Donley drained her fifth and final 3 to tie it up again. Wright made two free throws, and Lee answered with a layup to tie it at 65.
Williams split free throws to put the Huskies ahead for the last time before Lee scored the game's final four points to give Altoona the win.
"Offensively, 66 points is enough to win, but 69 is too many to give up," Herto said. "They shot the ball well, but we gave up some stuff we shouldn't have given up."
Altoona (9-10) will hold its senior night and host State College at 7:30 tonight.

Hey Trish,
just wanted to weigh in with my own personal development -
I've now sewn up the uppers on my Komodos twice, and my Bikilas not at all.
I put the Komodos in Glasgow and the Bikilas in St Andrews; I split my time 50/50 between the two towns so they should wear at the same pace.
Verdict: soles are equal; uppers on Bikilas are sewn such that if you're going to abuse them with vegetation, choose Bikilas.
(but I'm still drooling over Spyridons. Have you tried them yet?)

"... (A)t the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female.' For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. ... Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
Matthew 19:4-6
There is a song that describes a teen-age couple falling asleep at a drive-in movie and then having to answer a whole lot of questions the next morning. Although they are telling the truth, their family is hard pressed to believe the events of that night were entirely innocent.
Our lives would resemble this hit single with one minor difference - we didn't fall asleep. We spent most of the night discussing our future before finally deciding to elope. I promised her the moon and stars, ignorant of the trials and tribulations that lay before us.
I was 18 and she was barely 16. We had no money, no home and no idea what tomorrow would bring. We were scared, unsure and unprepared. In the end, however, it was not enough to keep us apart.
Not exactly an auspicious beginning for a marriage, but we were young and in love. Nothing else mattered. We had made a covenant the night before, so when it came time to face the music, we offered no excuses.
Her mother was more disappointed than angry. We had betrayed her trust, but it did not prevent her from offering her home as a place for us to live. My parents were furious that my life was ruined by a youthful indiscretion. They blamed my bride; it would take time for those feelings to heal.
It would have been so easy to go our separate ways, but we didn't.
Somehow we weathered the storm of disappointment felt by our parents. Over time, family members abandoned their strategy to divide and conquer and accepted us as a couple.
Finances would prove to be another stumbling block. After three years of marriage, we had a 3-year-old girl and 1-year-old twins (boy and girl). I was forced to work 70-plus hours a week while going to college full time. There was not much time left for romance.
We were living in a small house with the bare necessities. Our living room furniture consisted of a TV set and an oversized stuffed turtle. My paycheck didn't begin to cover our needs.
It would have been an opportune time to abandon my family, but I didn't.
When our twin girl died suddenly of walking pneumonia at 18 months, my wife and I were heartbroken. Our tranquil family life was shattered. The final blow to our faith came when we were told our baby girl was not saved because she had not been baptized.
If our baby was not deserving of God's love, we weren't either. We turned our backs on religion and began our journey through the wilderness, alone, unable to find the words to comfort one another.
It would have been tempting to find comfort in someone else's arms, but we didn't.
The following years were a blur, a time of selfish living on my part. Every activity had to involve alcohol to be pleasurable. Then a near-fatal auto accident left me paralyzed and confined to a hospital bed for nearly a year.
My wife suddenly had to manage a household, maintain a full-time job and care for the children. As if that wasn't enough, she had to care for an invalid husband responsible for turning her world upside down.
It would have been a perfect opportunity for her to cut her losses and leave, but she didn't.
Space does not allow me to list the countless times my wife and I could have walked out on each other. We could have justified our actions by pointing to people, events or circumstances as reasons for leaving.
A lot happens during the course of a marriage, so you have to resolve early on that divorce is not an option.
Thirty-four years after entering into a covenant with each other at a drive-in movie, we remain true to our vows. It has been a glorious adventure filled with exhilarating highs and devastating lows. There certainly will be more challenges to face, but it is a journey we will travel together " 'til death do us part."
What gives us the confidence to make such a statement? Remember the time we spent wandering in the wilderness alone? When we returned, God was waiting. We no longer travel alone, but live secure in the knowledge that "(I)f God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)

HUMP day is here!!
Not much left until the weekend and some drinks on amazing Québécois terraces surrounded by beautiful women aka French Canadian Divas.
Before we get to pleasure, we need to attend to some much-needed clarified business.
Your one and only, true WWE Champion is CM Punk. The man defeated John Cena for the championship fair and square, a week ago at Money In The Bank.
The best part: He sealed it all with a kiss right to Mr. McMahon's face and escaped into the insanely energized crowd, belt in hand.
With his status yet resolved at the time, the then-CEO of WWE ordered a new champion to be crowned by means of a tournament. What we didn't expect was the arrival of Triple H and his relieving Vince of his functions.
The tournament was ordered to carry on nonetheless and two Superstars became champions this past Monday.
A new era was beginning but before the man holding the belt could rejoice, music started playing and out came CM Punk, still wearing his championship proudly around his waist.
Holding the title up high to the cheers of the fans, the man spoke no words, yet everyone understood that the one, true champion had returned to set the record straight.
One question remains...who are the ones who would dare question his position?

Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a common cause of morbidity in critically ill patients. Interventions beneficial to the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia would therefore have a significant impact on the care of these patients.
Purpose: To perform a literature review and synthesis of methods for prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Data Sources: MEDLINE (19662001), the Cochrane Library, and bibliographies of retrieved articles.
Study Selection: Studies were required to be prospective and controlled in design and to evaluate clinically important or surrogate outcomes. Surrogate outcomes were required to have a direct link to clinically important outcomes supported by the literature.
Data Extraction: Data on patients, definitions, study design, and outcomes were abstracted and graded by using preestablished criteria.
Data Synthesis: The preventive practices with the strongest supportive evidence were semi-recumbent positioning, sucralfate instead of H2-antagonists for stress ulcer prophylaxis, and selective digestive tract decontamination. Aspiration of subglottic secretions and oscillating beds may be useful in select populations. There is no evidence to support specific methods of enteral feeding or increased frequency of ventilator circuitry changes.
Conclusions: After evaluation of potential benefits and risks, the authors recommend considering several specific interventions to reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia: semi-recumbent positioning in all eligible patients, sucralfate rather than H2-antagonists in patients at low to moderate risk for gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and aspiration of subglottic secretions and oscillating beds in select patient populations. Selective digestive tract decontamination is not recommended because routine use may increase antimicrobial resistance.

'Despicable' tops 'Pacific Rim'
With $44.8 million in weekend ticket sales, the animated sequel "Despicable Me 2" outdid the debuts of the Adam Sandler comedy "Grown Ups 2" and director Guillermo del Toro's monsters-versus-robots action flick "Pacific Rim."
"Despicable Me 2," featuring Steve Carell as ex-supervillain Gru, made another $55.5 million overseas. That brought its global two-week total to $472.4 million.
Sony was pleased with Sandler's second-best movie opening of his career with $42.5 million in sales in the U.S. and Canada.
The third-place finish of "Pacific Rim," with $38.3 million in receipts, was a disappointment for Warner Bros.
Disney's "The Lone Ranger," starring Johnny Depp as Tonto, took in $11.1 million in its second week, falling into fifth place behind "The Heat" starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, which brought in another $14 million in its third week.
Stock market analysts say Disney will book a huge loss on the film.
Acclaimed first novel written by Rowling
An ex-military man tries his hand at writing, publishes a debut detective novel, and wins critical acclaim. But here's the twist in the tale: The true identity of the author is none other than "Harry Potter" creator J.K. Rowling.
It's impressive literary wizardry by Rowling, who said she relished the freedom of writing "The Cuckoo's Calling" under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
"I hoped to keep this secret a little longer because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience," she said.
"The Cuckoo's Calling," is a story about a war veteran turned private investigator who is called in to probe the mysterious death of a model.
Carey performs in pain at show for storm victims
Mariah Carey is winning points for her ability to perform in pain.
The pop diva performed Saturday in a fashionable sling that matched her shimmering white dress on Central Park's Great Lawn for the 2013 MLB All-Star Charity Concert. It was for the benefit of Superstorm Sandy victims.
The 43-year-old singer was hospitalized earlier in the week after dislocating her shoulder while filming a music video. She told the crowd Saturday she "was in a tiny bit of pain, but I'm OK."
Carey performed four songs -- which sounded live -- with the New York Philharmonic. She said she was humbled to perform at a benefit for Sandy victims. Major League Baseball made a $1 million donation for Sandy relief efforts.
Claire Danes flirted with career change
Claire Danes, interior designer? The "Homeland" actress said she considered a change of careers when she went through a stretch where she couldn't find a good role.
In Vogue's August issue, Danes, 34, said she didn't work for two years after starring in the 2010 biopic "Temple Grandin," which earned her an Emmy and Golden Globe. Danes said she couldn't just take any role after playing Grandin, an activist for autistics and animal rights.
Danes called it a grim experience that left her so hurt that she flirted with a career change. Said Danes: "I really like interior design."
Of course, Danes didn't leave acting. She landed the role of Carrie Mathison on "Homeland," and it has earned her an Emmy and two Golden Globes.
Winfrey to interview Lohan in August
Oprah Winfrey will interview Lindsay Lohan in August on her TV network, OWN.
The troubled star will talk to Winfrey after serving her latest rehab stint. Lohan has also signed for an eight-part documentary series that will air in 2014.
Lohan is near the end of a 90-day court-mandated stay at the Betty Ford Center for a reckless-driving conviction.

Moore named assistant prosecutor
Scott Moore, a private practice attorney whose office was in Gladwin, joined the Clare County prosecutor's office as the new assistant prosecutor. He has been a trial attorney since 1996 and has made appearances in more than 60 courts. He was an assistant prosecutor under both former Clare County Prosecutor Norman Gage and former Gladwin County Prosecutor, now Circuit Court Judge, Thomas Evans.
Moore states that he decided to accept the assistant prosecutor position because he is "interested in helping people to help themselves. Throughout my career, I've spent a lot of time with people getting to the bottom of why they bottomed out. From there, many of them have been able to put a shady past behind and begun to truly live life. This is more than a job; it is a calling and my goal is assist anyone I can to live a fuller, more abundant life."
Prosecutor Ambrozaitis is very happy to have Scott join her team. "He is highly respected in the legal community and he possesses the characteristics needed of one in public service. It is nice to have him back in the realm of criminal prosecution."
I am not accepting new cases since returning to public service.

Creating Better
David Driskell
Creating Better Cities with Children and Youth is a practical manual on how to conceptualize, structure and facilitate the participation of young people in the community development process. It is an important tool for urban planners, municipal officials, community development staff, non-governmental organizations, educators, youth-serving agencies, youth advocates, and others who are involved in the community development process. It offers inspiration to all who believe in the value of community education and empowerment as a fundamental building block of a vibrant and resilient civil society.
The manual's core ideas and methods have been field-tested in a wide range of urban settings in both developing and industrialized cities through the work of the UNESCO Growing Up in Cities project. Case studies from project sites help to demonstrate the methods in action and show how they can be customized to meet local needs. They provide lessons and insights to help ensure a successful project, and highlight the universal applicability and value of young people's participation.
The ideas and results from the country studies of the Growing Up in Cities project are presented in the companion volume Growing Up in an Urbanising World.
Children and youth are seldom involved in the construction of their environment. They are considered too inexperienced, too unrealistic, too unqualified. Yet their fresh perspectives may be exactly what is needed to see clearly into the realm of new possibilities. It is my strong conviction that tapping into young peoples ideas and reflections is essential to improving our cities. Creating Better Cities with Children and Youth can help us move in that direction.
This manual is the culmination of a remarkable international project that began twenty-six years ago under UNESCOs Man and the Biosphere Programme, and then re-emerged six years ago under the auspices of UNESCOs Social and Human Sciences Sector. It suggests how to create an atmosphere of trust between youth and adults in order for real communication to take place. It shows ways of assisting young people to be heard by those who are in positions to make official policy decisions that affect the quality of their lives. It is a guide on how to access childrens knowledge both intuitive and based on experience that is so often repressed or lost, yet that can be a precious insight into their daily realities and a powerful lever for improvement of urban life.
In taking the time to explore and apply the methods that have been developed in this research project, you will be sensitized to new ways of approaching poverty reduction and environmental design projects. You will also discover methods for involving local officials in such a way that they will remember to listen to all sub-groups in their population, particularly children and youth, and to include them in developing policies.
As a person continuously devoted to the compliance and enforcement of all human rights civil, cultural, economic, political and social I feel particularly committed to the guidance contained in this volume guidance that encourages patience, perseverance and hope.
Putting into practice the methods described in Creating Better Cities for Children and Youth can help ensure that childrens rights are respected. I am therefore proud to offer it to the international community, with the firm belief that it can contribute to making this world a better place for current and future generations of children and youth.
About this Manual
As support for young people's participation in community development grows - and it has significantly in recent years - questions like "Is young people's participation really worthwhile?" are heard less and less, and questions like "What methods are proven to be effective?" are heard more and more.
Creating Better Cities with Children and Youth is a direct and detailed response to the latter type of question. It devotes some space to the principles and concepts of young people's participation, but focuses on field-tested approaches and methods for actually making it happen.
Apart from involving young people in making improvements to the places where they live, one of the most effective strategies for creating better cities is through the actual process of participation: helping young people to listen to one another, to respect differences of opinion, and to find common ground; developing their capacities for critical thinking, evaluation and reflection; supporting their processes of discovery, awareness building, and collective problem-solving; and helping them develop the knowledge and skills for making a difference in their world.
hope this manual will be a useful tool for those of you who share these
beliefs, and that it will help you to realize the potential that exists
in the simple yet powerful act of listening to young people's voices and
engaging them in processes of constructive community change.
Creating Better Cities with Children and Youth is a practical manual on how to conceptualize, structure and facilitate the participation of young people in community development. It is intended for use by urban planners, municipal officials, community development staff, non-governmental organizations, educators, youth-serving agencies, youth advocates, and others who are involved in community development: for everyone who feels concern for young people and the quality of their lives, and who believes in the value of community education and empowerment as the foundation of a vibrant and resilient civil society.
This manual provides a framework for planning participatory projects and building institutional and political support for implementation. It outlines the necessary steps for organizing a participatory project, and shows how young people can be engaged in analysing and prioritizing their needs and implementing appropriate responses.
The manual's core ideas and methods have been field-tested in a wide range of urban settings in both developing and industrialized cities through the work of the Growing Up in Cities project. Examples from project sites help to illustrate the methods and demonstrate how they can be customized to local needs. They also highlight the universal applicability and value of young people's participation and provide lessons and insights to help ensure a successful project.
Here are tips for how to get the most out of this manual:
Familiarize yourself with the basic concepts. Chapters 1 and 2 present basic concepts about youth participation in community development - why it is important, what benefits it has, and what factors should be considered when trying to develop a youth participation programme. If this is a new area of interest for you, spend time reviewing the information in these chapters, and review the list of books, documents, videos and online resources in Appendix B.
Determine how much work is needed to 'get started.' Chapter 3 discusses the logistical issues in putting together a participatory project. If you already have a project or programme in place, you may not need to spend much time on this chapter. But if you are starting from scratch, this chapter should be studied carefully. A quick review of the checklist at the beginning of the chapter should help determine how much of this chapter is relevant to you.
Develop a logical sequence of methods. A successful participation programme leads participants together through a sequence of activities and events that allows them to explore issues, develop and evaluate alternatives, and take action. Chapter 4 provides an approach for thinking about the overall process design to ensure an effective programme.
Do what it takes to ensure success. Making participation `work' requires more than simply going out in the field and talking with young people. You need to make sure that all project staff are appropriately trained, that there is a high level of comfort and trust between participants and staff, that ethical issues are understood and respected, and that the basics of daily project management are taken care of (i.e. there is good communication between team members, consent forms are filled out, field notes and materials are properly filed, etc.). Chapter 5 covers these issues.
Choose and customize methods according to your needs. The Participation Toolkit' in Chapter 6 provides an overview of basic methods that can be used to facilitate young people's participation. But it is not a cookbook! There are no magic recipes for meaningful participation. You need to select the methods that are appropriate for your needs, and customize them accordingly. Use the information as a starting point, and then create your own method variations and ideas.
Always maximize participation. Throughout the process, tap into the resources and knowledge of your local community - especially children and youth. Share the manual and its ideas with them, and facilitate a group process of creative innovation.
Use the manual as a training tool. This manual was developed as a training resource as well as a field guide. Use it to train your staff, young people, and community residents about what participation is, why it is important, and how young people can become effective participants in community development. The methods in Chapter 6 have been written and designed so that they can be used for field training and group discussions.
Focus on action. Ensure that every participation programme leads to some form of action in response to the input and ideas of the participants - with the participants involved in deciding upon and implementing the action. An action' does not have to be grand in scale to be meaningful. Chapter 7 provides examples of how evaluation results can be translated into action programmes.
Build networks of support and share your ideas. Join with others who are interested in or involved in projects that promote young people's participation. Work together to support each other's efforts, share ideas, and develop local resources. The Growing Up in Cities project has a network of groups and individuals working to promote young people's participation. For information regarding members in your area and current network activities, contact Growing Up in Cities (www.unesco.org/most/growing.htm).

Pat Travers
One of a handful of hard rock musicians to emerge from Canada in the 1970s, Pat Travers stands sort of midway between Randy Bachman and Bryan Adams historically, but has never developed too much more than a cult following in America. Travers started out in his brother's Toronto-based band, but he moved to London in the mid-'70s and set up his own group, which included Peter "Mars" Cowling on bass and Roy Dyke on drums. Their first major gig was at the 1976 Reading Rock Festival, and this led to a recording contract and a debut album the following year for Polydor. Roy Dyke was later replaced by Nicko McBrain, who later joined Iron Maiden and was succeeded by Clive Edwards. Travers' music, solid, commercial blues rock, sold moderately well. He had a moderately large following, and even one recognized concert signature tune, "Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)," drawn from the traditional blues repertory. The failure of his 1984 album Hot Shot -- despite the presence of the high-energy title track -- ended his Polydor contract, however, and it wasn't until 1990 that he recorded again. He has since moved between labels with some intermittent success in a purer blues vein, most notably on Blues Tracks (1993) and Blues Magnet (1994). Bruce Eder
