HERSHEY - Bedford coach Brian Creps says 113-pounder Jonathan Gabriel has been on a roll ever since he won his weight class at the Thomas Subaru Tournament.
Gabriel has carried that momentum right into the state finals.
Gabriel breezed into the finals of the PIAA Class AA Championships with dominating wins on Friday before 5,572 fans at the Giant Center, ringing up a 23-8 technical fall in 6:00 over Jamestown's Faris Messai in the quarterfinals and pinning Reynolds' Seth Hogue in 3:50 in the semifinals to become the second Bison in as many years to make the finals.

Bedford's Jonathan?Gabriel defeats Reynolds' Seth Hogue in the 113-pound semifinals.
"I knew I was going to be a contender [for a medal] as high as possible, but I wasn't 100 percent sure whether I'd make the finals," Gabriel said. "When I saw the bracket, I knew I had a really great chance to make the finals. I came out here and showed everybody what I was about."
"He's been wrestling really well for about the past month," Creps said. "He really showed everyone he has been wrestling well, and he's healthy right now, so that's real big."
His finals opponent will be Bethlehem Catholic's returning state runner-up Luke Karam, who reached the finals with a 6-0 win over Brookville's Taylor Ortz. The finals are scheduled for 2 p.m. and will be aired live on PCN.
Gabriel is the only area finalist as Central Cambria's Max Murin and Chestnut Ridge's Aaron Burkett lost their semifinals at 106. They actually lost again in the consy semifinals and will wrestle each other in the fifth-place bout. Burkett provided some fireworks in the quarterfinals when he cemented Lancaster Catholic's Joe Lobeck to his back late in the bout and won, 8-7.
"I think that may be the first cement job he ever hit," Ridge coach Greg Lazor said. "I know we haven't seen one on varsity. But, he kept wrestling until the end, kept fighting and pulled one out for himself."
Ten area wrestlers have placed in the top eight of their weights. Huntingdon freshman Jacob Oliver (145) and Cambria Heights senior Aaron Gill (285) will wrestle for third at their respective weights, while Huntingdon's Collin Glorioso (113), Cambria Heights' Levi Niebauer (160) and Everett's Devin Reed (285) will join Murin and Burkett in the fifth-place bouts.
Bedford's Ryan Easter (132), who was a runner-up last year, became the first wrestler in school history to earn four state medals, but he'll go for seventh today, as will teammate Garrett Thomas (138).
"We'd like to be going higher than seventh for the two seniors," Creps said, "but sometimes the momentum doesn't go your way."
Gabriel, who took fourth at the Southwest Regional, was only up 8-6 in the second period of his quarterfinals when he turned it up a notch, escaping, taking Messai down and scoring three nearfall points for a 14-6 lead. He outscored Messai 9-2 in the final period, including reversing him to his back for a five-point and a technical fall.
Not many expected to see Hogue in the semis, but he was there after a 2-0 win over Southmoreland's regional champ Austin Griffiths, who later forfeited to Glorioso because he was having breathing problems and was being taken to the hospital.
"I had to wrestle Hogue, and I was kind of excited about that," Gabriel said, "because I always wrestle better when I don't know the kid."
Gabriel took Hogue down in the first period and then reversed him to his back in the second period. When the referee slapped the mat, the Bedford celebration began.
"At that point, I just wanted to end the match as fast as possible," Gabriel said. "I threw double grapes in, lifted up his head as hard as I could and stuck him."
"He was there a long time before he finally got it," Creps said smiling. "In my mind, I thought he was pinned sooner, but you know how a coach's mind goes."
Karam's closest bout of the tournament was a 3-1 preliminary round win over Glorioso. Gabriel (29-5), who was a 2012 Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling champion, and Karam (39-2) wrestled earlier in the year at the King of the Mountain, and Karam beat him, 11-0, but that was a long time ago, and Gabriel is looking forward to the challenge.
"I know that he's coming to come out and he's going to be really aggressive," Gabriel said. "All kids at this level usually are. So, I'm going to try and match that. Last time, he was a lot more aggressive than I was, but that was at the beginning of the year. I've gotten a lot more aggressive, a lot more physically fit, and I'm just going to go out and push the pace like I always do."
"We wrestled Karam earlier in the year, and he put it to us pretty good," Creps said, "but we're wrestling a lot better than we were then, so we'll see what happens."
Oliver went 3-0 on Friday, pinning Beth-Center's Tony Welsh in 4:16, beating Piux X's Michael Communale, 5-0, in his next bout and reaching the third-place finals with a 6-1 win over Muncy's Dakota Nixon. Oliver (41-4) will wrestle Brookville's Zach Vroman (33-6) for third place.
"Jake wrestled great," Huntingdon coach Jon Mykut said. "He's had a great tournament so far. He's been really active on his feet. He had a nice high-crotch [shot] and a good finish to win that last match. He obviously has good mat sense, and he has good hips. He's a little dangerous, so that's definitely a good thing to have as a wrestler."
Gill has come the whole way back through the consolations after an opening-bout 9-0 loss Pen Argyl's Brady Mutton, who is wrestling Lakeview's returning state champ Sam Breese in the finals.
"Coming back is awesome," Gill said. "This is probably one of the toughest tournaments I've ever wrestled in."
Gill has gone 4-0 since then, including three wins over Boiling Springs' Noah Davis, 2-0, Reynolds' Gene Ringer, 3-2 in the ultimate tiebreaker, and Southmoreland's regional runner-up Jake Beistel, 5-2, in the consy semis. Gill (35-4) will wrestle Burrell's regional champ Allan Beattie (43-6) for third.
"I feel amazing avenging my loss at regionals," Gill said. "Winning here is a lot better than winning at regionals is. I've won tournaments this year and last year, but nothing is better than coming here and winning these matches."
"This is the best tournament Gill has wrestled in his life," Heights coach Mike Eckenrode said. "He picked a right time to do his best."
Notes: Bethlehem Catholic leads the team standings with 123.5 points, while Brookville is second with 65.5. ... Southern Columbia, which is in third place, brought three wrestlers, and they're all in the finals. ... The 220-pound finals is a regional rematch between Avella's Jake Temple and West Branch's Buzzy Maines, both of whom had to win in tiebreakers in the semis.

Fort Hood Gunman Was 'Quiet, but Not Scary Quiet,' Says Source
In the days leading up to the shooting at Fort Hood, there was something troubling Ivan Lopez.
"Lopez didn't stand out as the guy you worried about. You wouldn't single him out as someone who is going to shoot up the building. He was quiet, but not scary quiet. You didn't walk into the building and think, I hope Lopez doesn't kill me today," a soldier who served with Lopez tells PEOPLE. "But he wasn't happy. Something was eating at him."
According to reports, his mother and grandfather died within two months of each other. Initially, the military was not going to let him attend his mother's funeral, but ultimately gave him 24 hours, says the mayor of his hometown in Guayanilla, Puerto Rico.
"The last time I saw him was at the funeral of his mother. He had some problems then," said Mayor Edgardo Harlequin Velez. "He said the army didn't give him enough time away. He didn't speak a lot. He was a quiet guy."
Lopez, who joined the U.S. Army in 2008, was in treatment for a variety of mental health problems, including depression and anxiety, says Army Secretary John McHugh. He was seen last month by a psychiatrist and showed "no sign of violence to [him]self or others."
He recently bought a .45 caliber handgun, McHugh says, but he did not notify post authorities. "We cannot compel registration," McHugh says, but under Army rules and regulations, the weapon was "not cleared to be on post."
The motive behind the shooting that left four people dead, including Lopez, and 16 more wounded has not been identified, but clearly, something was wrong.
"He got into an argument. I'm not sure what it was about," another soldier who knew Lopez tells PEOPLE. "Something obviously was bothering him."
The Texas Army post was the scene of a mass shooting in 2009. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded in what was the deadliest attack on a domestic military installation in history.

Mute Poetry, Speaking Picturesby Leonard Barkan
Why do painters sometimes wish they were poets--and why do poets sometimes wish they were painters? What happens when Rembrandt spells out Hebrew in the sky or Poussin spells out Latin on a tombstone? What happens when Virgil, Ovid, or Shakespeare suspend their plots to describe a fictitious painting? In Mute Poetry, Speaking Pictures, Leonard Barkan explores such questions as he examines the deliciously ambiguous history of the relationship between words and pictures, focusing on the period from antiquity to the Renaissance but offering insights that also have much to say about modern art and literature. The idea that a poem is like a picture has been a commonplace since at least ancient Greece, and writers and artists have frequently discussed poetry by discussing painting, and vice versa, but their efforts raise more questions than they answer. From Plutarch ("painting is mute poetry, poetry a speaking picture") to Horace ("as a picture, so a poem"), apparent clarity quickly leads to confusion about, for example, what qualities of pictures are being urged upon poets or how pictorial properties can be converted into poetical ones. The history of comparing and contrasting painting and poetry turns out to be partly a story of attempts to promote one medium at the expense of the other. At the same time, analogies between word and image have enabled writers and painters to think about and practice their craft. Ultimately, Barkan argues, this dialogue is an expression of desire: the painter longs for the rich signification of language while the poet yearns for the direct sensuousness of painting.

WARREN - The city has been recognized as a ''Healthy Community'' by the Ohio Department of Health, marking the sixth consecutive year for the special honor.
This year's award was a special platinum-level honor of five gold honors and one silver honor for being a healthy community. Warren has received five or more gold stars since the start of the Healthy Ohio awards in 2006.
The award was presented at the Ohio Society for Public Health Education Institute conference in October at Deer Creek State Park.
Mel Milliron, health educator at the Trumbull County Health Department, said each year the bar is raised to receive the award, which recognizes efforts to improve the quality of life for residents and recognizes outstanding achievements of communities pursuing healthy behavior.
''They make it a little tougher every year to get. Warren city has been able to keep up each year with all that it has been doing,'' Milliron said.
The city was recognized for its community gardens, sidewalk improvements, downtown crosswalks, benches, bike trails, shade trees and opening of old or new parks. Handicap-accessible paths were made to the Victory Garden. Events such as Bike to Work Day were held.
Milliron said the Victory Garden was highlighted. It opened in 2010 and today is used as a training site for the Ohio State University extension and donates produce grown there to Warren city schools. The schools have their own salsa garden. There is a handicap-accessible tunnel garden.
''The key to the success is collaboration and partnership. More than a dozen agencies and institutions have contributed to the garden's success,'' Milliron said.
Mayor Doug Franklin said much of what has been accomplished to earn the city the award is part of the strategic action plan.
''We have been implementing the strategic plan in ways that have benefitted the city,'' Franklin said.
He said he inherited the program from former Mayor Michael O'Brien and it shows the city has been working very hard to follow the strategic plan and improve quality of life in the city.
''What we have done has helped the community and citizens to be healthier. I couldn't be more proud to receive this award,'' he said.
Warren, among 14 communities to receive an award this year, was recognized for achievements in developing and implementing health-related policies and providing healthy community environments. The award recognizes communities' efforts in enabling employees, residents and visitors to make healthy choices including in physical activity, eating well, nutritious foods and avoiding tobacco.
Milliron, who submitted the application for the award, said this is just one way to bring community awareness to healthy living. He said many agencies and organizations have contributed and partnered with one another and the city to making Warren a healthy community such as tobacco prevention, nutrition, exercise and outdoor recreation.
A healthy coalition promoted wellness and better quality of life.
The only other community to receive the platinum award is Westerville in Franklin Township, which has received seven gold awards.

It's not clear who coined the image of the circular firing squad, the timeless cliché for a political party or ideological fringe bent on electoral suicide. But at the moment, smart money has to be on the oh-so-liberal far left of the Democratic Party.
After all the years of wandering in the Bush-Cheney wilderness, you'd guess liberals of all flavors would be singing a Hallelujah Chorus for Barack Obama. Guess again.
Instead, they're beating him up almost daily for all manner of perceived transgressions — troop increases in Afghanistan, failure to close Guantanamo, foot-dragging on gays in the military, a too-ardent pursuit of Republican cooperation on key issues. Better, they believe, to demonize the GOP.
The list of liberal beefs with Obama is seemingly endless and is electorally significant. It's the key to the slump in Democratic enthusiasm and, if continued, could determine whether Democrats merely lose some seats this fall or forfeit control of one or both houses of Congress.
Obama has had some genuine accomplishments in his first 18 months in office. But even these have not escaped assault from far-left forces like Code Pink, MoveOn.org., the Nation magazine and other self-styled "progressive" voices in the media and the blogosphere — the "professional left," as White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has dubbed them.
The president's stimulus package, which the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office credited last week with saving at least 1.3 million jobs and perhaps as many at 3 million, is a target. Why? It wasn't enough, by these left-wing lights; Obama should have spent more. Actually, he was damn lucky to get as much as he did.
Nor does he get points for the TARP program, a Bush initiative Obama wisely embraced that almost certainly averted a banking system meltdown, which would have imperiled our whole economy. As the far-left sees it, Wall Street and the bankers should have been bloodied, not bailed out.
The unkindest cut, however, has to be the left's scorn for the president's health insurance reform, the party's most significant social policy achievement in 40 years and a goal of presidents for almost a century. Its failing? It lacks a public option — an argument that makes what might conceivably be best the enemy of that which is merely good.
Internal warfare is nothing new for Democrats. It's in the DNA of an organization that's less a cohesive combine of common interests than an assortment of tribes which gather around the campfire occasionally but are ever ready to wage war on one another.
Surprisingly, Democrats often have managed to survive this kind of civil war in the past. But it will be far tougher this year.
Much of the speculation about this election has centered on what independent voters, a key to Obama's presidential victory, will do. But midterm elections hisorically bring out relatively few independents. Midterms are traditionally a battle of the party bases, a test of purely partisan turnout. And the key to turnout is enthusiasm.
By that measure, Democrats are in big trouble. The Gallup Poll put their plight this way:
"One might expect that liberal Democrats would mirror the enthusiasm of those at the opposite end of the spectrum, conservative Republicans. But that is not the case. Liberal Democrats are mired down somewhat below average in enthusiasm."
Independents, who voted overwhelmingly Democratic the last two elections, are the least enthusiastic of all groups for voting this year, Gallup found.
Even with a full-of-pep party, Obama and the Democrats would be in trouble. The in-party always suffers when the economy's in a prolonged stall. But this time it's more than merely the economy. The news from everywhere — the 50 states, Iraq, Afghanistan, even Mexico — is grim. It's put the electorate in a kind of pre-revolutionary funk.
If Democrats have any hope, it's that tea party extremism will turn enough voters against the GOP to save the day. Or that left-wing Democrats will lift the siege on the White House before November.
Smart money says: Don't bet on either.

In years past, a resident of Amarillo's northeast neighborhoods had to travel as far as 10 miles to attempt to qualify for the city's indigent health-care program.
The commute is now a little easier.
Northwest Texas Healthcare System on Tuesday celebrated the renovations to its Women's and Children's Healthcare Center at 814 Martin Road.
The project started in January and moved the hospital's Financial Needs Assessment Center from the Coulter Street hospital to the Northeast neighborhood.
The expansion also added 10,000 square feet to the already 17,000-square-foot building and expanded its pediatric and obstetric services.
The assessment center determines a person's qualifications for Amarillo's indigent care program, which provides free health care to those who can't afford it or obtain it otherwise.
Most of the program's patients live in the northeast part of town. With the assessment center on the west side of Amarillo, the travel created an undue hardship for the people who needed to access it and qualify for the hospital's Wyatt Care Program.
"It definitely makes that resource available to those who need it most," Northwest Chief Executive Frank Lopez said.
"It's located in the area where most of them live."
The expansion allows more space for women's and children's services.
It treats children both sick and well and provides pre- and post-natal care for pregnant women.
"It makes it to where we can increase the number of patients we can see," center Director Mark Miracle said.
The center opened in 1999 with 1,000 patients. It now sees about 35,000 patients and 44,000 visits a year.
"So you can understand the need for this expansion," Miracle said.
His four nurse practitioners and two pediatricians can now examine patients in 24 rooms instead of 12.
The expansion also allows the center's 14 gynecologists to use 15 rooms in a separate wing.
David Clark, managing partner of the medical management company that helps Northwest run the women's and children's center, said this is a sign of the hospital's commitment to providing health care to traditionally under-served populations.
With the center's Martin Road location just feet from Amarillo Boulevard, it primarily treats a segment of the population that does not have easy access to health care.
"(The patients) had no primary care doctor. Well out here, this serves as a medical care home," Clark said. "This provides that access."
The center primarily treats Medicare, Medicaid and uninsured patients and qualified Amarillo indigents.
"The one thing we don't see very often is managed care health insurance," Miracle said.
Their patients would otherwise do without health care or visit the costly emergency room for treatment.
"The lack of health care quality for one part of the community creates a problem for entire community," Miracle said.

Robin Williams 1951 - 2014
Last night I read that we had lost one of the greats; Robin Williams was no longer with us. When we think of him we most often think of his almost manic comedy. He was one of the best, and perhaps one of the few that could go one on one with the late great Johnathan Winters in comedy improvisation. We know however that Robin Williams was also a great actor. Like many comedians his view of life gave him great insight into the human condition and he was able to bring this to his more serious roles. He will be missed.

Ball State's men's golf team is hosting the Mid-American Match Play Tournament at Lake Jovita South Course in Dade City, Fla., Monday and Tuesday.
The event is the spring season opener for the Cardinals, who are the No. 1 seed in the tournament which includes eight Mid-American Conference schools. Joining Ball State at the match play event are Akron, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan, Miami University, Northern Illinois, Ohio and Toledo.
The Cardinals, under the direction of 14th-year head coach Mike Fleck, earned the No. 1 seed by virtue of its fall season rankings.
Ball State's top golfer this fall was Tyler Merkel, who led the team with a 72.27 average in five events. Merkel, who was named the MAC Co-Freshman of the Year last season, tied his career low with a 68 at the Northern Intercollegiate Sept. 11.
TJ Carpenter tallied a 72.73 average in the fall and will play No. 2 for the Cardinals at the match play event. Alex Stinson, Joe Gasser, Tony Lazzara and Brodie Williams will round out the lineup for Ball State.

Stories about cronyism and corruption fill our newspaper like a tidal surge over-topping levees. Politicians who promise to end corruption actually scare me the most.
Our city absolutely needs prosecutors like Jim Letten and a well-funded inspector general as much as hurricane protection. Now that Aaron Broussard is finally admitting guilt after trying to escape with every legal trick in the book, he asks the voters for "forgiveness and understanding."
This sort of insincere contrition nauseates me. What sort of "understanding" does he expect? The kind of understanding that everybody steals? That other politicians do it?
The smirk on his face and his boastful comments about his start as a "dragon slayer" clearly demonstrate what kind of man he is. Lock him up!

The late US Senator (D, KY) and Vice President Alben Barkley enjoyed telling the story of his encounter with a disgruntled constituent. "'I recalled how I had helped get an access road built to his farm, how I had visited him in a military hospital . . . , how I had assisted in securing him veteran benefits, . . . how I had got him a disaster loan. . . . Surely you remember all these things I have done for you?' 'Yeah,' the fellow said, 'I remember. But what have you done for me lately?'"1(pp84,85)

GEN News Highlights : Jun 2, 2013
A new approach to manufacturing short, single-stranded DNA molecules—oligonucleotides—could be a boon to both nanotechnology and drug development.
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet's Swedish Medical Nanoscience Center today describe in Nature Methods a new method for generating these oligonucleotides using enzymatics production methods.
Björn Högberg, Ph.D., said his team's approach creates "a system that not only improves the quality of the manufactured oligonucleotides but also makes it possible to scale up production using bacteria in order to produce large amounts of DNA copies cheaply."
Rather than synthesizing oligonucleotides, Dr. Högberg et al., chose to take a bioproduction approach, using bacteria to copy DNA sequences. The result, the researchers say, is a process by which several different oligonucleotides can thus be produced at the same time and can be scaled up at lower cost.
"Oligonucleotide-based drugs are already available, and it's very possible our method could be used to produce purer and cheaper versions of these drugs," Dr. Högberg added.
The study, "Enzymatic production of monoclonal stoichiometric single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides," was published June 2 in Nature Methods.

Planted my Hot Wing Maple a year and a half ago. Tallest branch reaches about 10 feet tall. Lots of red wings this summer but the branches are thin and very playable. Lots of new saplings at the trunk. I'm not sure how to trim this young tree to support it's growth and support the long thin branches. Any suggestions?

I am giving this tree a neutral rating because I have not had it long enough to rate it. I planted two of these trees in early fall of 09. They had a few red samaras on them which were a beautiful shade of red against the green foliage. The fall color was yellow and not spectacular, but I was not expecting much of a display because the tree is only a 1" caliper, 10 ft tall, and not very full. The trees just leafed out for spring. I was surprised to see the leaves emerged a reddish, purple color before turning green. There were quite a few suckers that needed to be trimmed off. The other observation I made is the trees will grow from seed. I found several seedling trees emerging within a 5-10 feet of each tree. I plan to leave one or two alone to see what happens, if they grow I will move ... read more

The "winged" seeds are blood red and grow in clusters all over the older growth. When backlit by the sun they are absolutely stunning. The color of the seeds don't seem to bleach with the intense mountain sun here in Colorado at 6,000 feet. I don't know about fall color yet. I do not know how long the seeds will remain on the tree and hold their color, but they still look fantastic at the end of July. At this point in late July I would say that the trees are 50% green & 50% blood red. The new growth leafs are light green & the old growth leafs are dark green.

They're hawt but do I have any other reason to "like" Lady & Trish at this point?
Kat's sexualized too but at least she's "decent" to Dante and doesn't try dicking him over at every opertunity!
I try not to advocate the feeding of trolls. However, when I catch a troll saying something exceptionally stupid it's difficult for me to refrain from making an example of him! Is this just me waggling my own cock? Am I being just as immature and puerile? Probably, but indulge me anyway!
There's a reason I don't like Trish & Lady in DMC. Actually, in DMC 1 & DMC 3 respectively they were not so bad. Mary (Lady) had angst issues but that's understandable given who her father was. Trish was actually created by Mundus to look like Dante's mom so she could get close to him & kill him yet she chose to help our beleaguered hero instead. Both these characters had so much potential to develop and grow in interesting ways. Sadly, we're dealing with capcom here. (Derp-a-herp! Let's give Ladeh huge boobiez for DMC 4 and create a sexy under-cover-succubus-porn-star persona for Trish!)
The anime and DMC 4 not only makes them look more like sex objects (which I personally don't care about per-se) but it also portrays them as gold digging back-stabbing flakes. You can tell me all this is played up for laughs, that it's hilarious to see these girls rob and outsmart Dante at every turn. Partially I get where you're coming from. It does sort of have that "Married With Children" kind of shtick going on! However, it also portrays Lady and Trish as rather repulsive individuals out for their own gain.
Here's the shocker. I don't hate Trish & Lady because of their gender. (gasp!) Had they been guys with the same behavioral traits I would have loathed the hell out of them then too.
Yet I still have to put up with some idiot (whose only contribution to 1up thus far is his reply to me) calling me out for being a misogynist. I can almost respect his audacity but his argument is just too easy to pick apart.
For the record, I "do" dislike Kratos as a character too but despite that I was able to enjoy playing God Of War 1 & 2. (Aka, I think they're great games in their own right) That may seem "weird" but I never claimed to be normal in the first place!
Anyway, enjoy watching "mac" get a thrashing!(Sorry my print screen resolution is shit!)

The NBA may be going through a fierce labor dispute, but it hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning out news to keep tongues salivating around basketball circles.
There is talk of players heading overseas to supplement their income during the lockout and it has involved some of the biggest players in the sport, more specifically, Kobe Bryant, who has been stealing headlines on a weekly basis. As Bryant contemplates a move to Turkey, other NBA stars are answering questions about their futures.
While we wait for those answers, there is still talk about what teams will do once the lockout is lifted and the league gets back to business. Coming off of one of the most exciting seasons in NBA history, the offseason has had plenty of buzz around it, and we're here to feed the hunger for basketball news.
We'll bring you the biggest and latest news, giving you everything that you need to know if you're going to stay in the loop during this offseason.
If you have anything to say, feel free to leave it in the comments.

Hello Relayers!
We have a lot of fun information packed into this email for you. We're excited to share some of the wonderful things the American Cancer Society has going on during this holiday season. Check it out:
1. My Cancer Days
The Society has just published a new picture book to help children with cancer express their feelings.
"I wrote My Cancer Days for the smallest warriors," said author Courtney Filigenzi. "Children can have a hard time identifying or describing their feelings. I wanted to help kids find the words they need to express how they're feeling inside."
The 24-page hardcover book is illustrated with original watercolors by Nicole Tadgell, who was inspired by the loss of her sister to childhood illness and her visits with young cancer patients and their families at home and in the hospital.
In My Cancer Days, a little girl with cancer experiences a range of emotions depending on how she feels on different days. On a purple day, for example, she feels scared; on a yellow day, she feels happy. The message is that all these feelings are normal, and that expressing them is a helpful way to cope.
The book is also intended to help adults give their children the support they need. "It's my hope that the book can help families have these difficult conversations," said Filigenzi, "so they can support each other and grow stronger together."
Interested in purchasing this book as a gift? They're available online now!
Purchase the new book online for $12.95. or http://www.cancer.org/cancer/bookstore/index
2. Amazon Smile - Gift Giving
If you shop on Amazon, this is an absolutely free way to give to the Society. Amazon -- not you -- gives the Society .5% of your purchase total, every time you shop on Amazon.
To make that happen, you must register – for free – on AmazonSmile, and choose the Society as the charity of your choice.Here is a direct link to the Society's AmazonSmile page.
You can use your existing Amazon account and you will find all the same products and prices as on Amazon.com. (Recurring subscribe-and-save purchases and subscription renewals are not currently eligible for AmazonSmile, however.)
Once registered, every time you come back to smile.amazon.com, you will see this wording at the top of the page: "Supporting American Cancer Society, Inc."
The key is remembering to go to smile.amazon.com or the Society's page, instead of amazon.com. It takes a little self-discipline, but it's worth it. It costs you nothing but provides the Society with much needed funds.
3. A Month of Fundraising
As the year comes to a close and the new year is right around the corner, now is the best time to get a jump start on your team fundraising for 2016. Ready for an easy and fun way to raise $100 for your Relay team? Need a few good ideas to share with family, schools, coworkers and friends?
Below is the Hope Fundraising Calendar – 30 days of giving back. Each day has a fun fact, mission or activity to coincide with a fundraising amount. Each day, challenge your loved ones to take on one day's fact and donate. It's a great way to spread the mission and continue educating others on why we Relay!

|Local clubs make holiday difference
The Rotary Clubs of Rohnert Park-Cotati and Rancho Cotati, along with the Rancho Adobe Fire District, Rotaract Club of Southern Sonoma County, SSU Rotaract, Tech High Interact and community volunteers spent Saturday at the Rohnert Park Senior Center preparing for and helping coordinate a day of wrapping presents for underprivileged children.
Each year, hundreds of toys and gifts are collected and distributed to families in the Rohnert Park, Cotati and Penngrove areas. Over the years, the holiday gift and toy drive has grown both in popularity and in partnership with others. This is community support in the form of donated gifts and cash that enables the program to thrive and help families in need.
The holidays provide the ideal backdrop for showcasing how much Rotary means to the communities and those less fortunate. Most people do not see or feel what goes on in the lives of families who live at or near the poverty level. The Rotary Clubs of Rohnert Park-Cotati and its partners work hard to change these families' lives and bring joy to the faces of the children in the communities.
About 13 years ago, the Rotary Club of Rohnert Park-Cotati instituted a holiday gift program designed to serve the needs of disadvantaged families whose financial status severely limited their ability to provide gifts to the children during the season of joy.
This program's support base continues to grow each year as the club reaches out into the community to form partnerships with individuals, businesses, group associations, families, local governments and the Interact Clubs.
Anytime throughout the year, businesses may contact the Rotary Club of Rohnert Park-Cotati to assist in providing funds and partner to make a better Christmas season for the underprivileged.
The delivery of the gifts will take place Saturday, Dec. 21, starting at the RP Senior Center to fill up the trucks, vans and cars along with a fire engine to lead the way. Some Rotarians will put on Santa suits and, along with their elf helpers, will approach the homes that were selected and everybody will see the joy on the children's faces and also witness a wide range of emotions of the parents.
Many a volunteer has had to wipe tears away from their faces when seeing the emotions of a small child seeing Santa and holding their little hands out to receive a gift.
The number of requests usually grows larger each year, but as always, the Rotary Club members along with their partners are hard at work to make a difference in the lives of these disadvantaged families.
If you would like to give back to your community and enjoy the day while doing it, join the Rotary Club of Rohnert Park-Cotati on Tuesday mornings for their weekly meeting at the DoubleTree Hotel at 7 a.m. Come and observe what a difference the Rotary Club of Rohnert Park-Cotati has made and will continue to do so in the community.
'Twas two weekends before Christmas and all around the town, the Rotary Club of Rohnert Park-Cotati and their helpers (all volunteers) were doing nothing but wrapping gifts and having a good time.'

Once and Future Assholity
If you're a homeowner, you're more than likely an asshole. Or, you will become an asshole as soon as your home passes into the ownership of someone else.
Let me back up.
The wife and I have more or less finished up the painting project we embarked upon on a whim last week. In fact, we were so happy with the results that the project expanded in scope and we have now extended the color from below the chair rail of the living room, into the foyer and all the way down our main hallway. So now much of the house looks really nice and warm and Autumnal in a way that the coat of white paint that we're pretty sure was slapped on by a team of color-blind rhesus monkeys, hired by one of the previous sets of owners, working in the dark, and applied using only one-quarter monkey-ass-power, did not.
Yes indeedy, we have long since considered the previous owners of this home to be assholes for a variety of good reasons, but seeing the truly incompetent paint job they left behind convinced us of their assholity. It was clearly done very quickly with little attention to detail and an obvious lack of care. It's the kind of thing you expect from a couple of people who know they're only going to be in a home for a limited time--say, a year--and just want to put a good whitewash on the whole thing so some rube might be fooled long enough to buy it. If only they'd also managed to whitewash the horrid shade of salmon they threw up with even less care in the master bath. (I also take deep issue with the vanity top that's nearly an inch too wide for the hall bathroom, which forced some previous asshole owner to sawsall a long slot into the drywall in order to wedge it in anyway, when a lot of time, effort and putty could have been saved had someone first thought to MEASURE THE EFFING ROOM! But I digress...)
The trouble with crying asshole at someone else, though, is that it's very easy to do during the painting job itself, when you are first noticing all the unforgivable flaws in the previous guy's work. Yep, when you're down at the baseboard seeing all the places where previous painters have spilled white paint onto the wood, or allowed thick drips of paint to travel down the length of a wall and dry, or left fragments of painter's tape behind, it's real easy to cry "asshole." It is also very easy to continue crying asshole during the cleanup process, when noticing the white paint splotches that appear beneath your own painters tape, which you'll have to scrape off, etc.
When it becomes a problem to cry asshole is that after putting in an entire weekend to paint a coat of pumpkinish colored paint across much of your interior wall surface, you look around at the kind of flaws in the previous painters' work and realize how closely they resemble the left over flaws in your own, such as the splotches of pumpkin on the white hall ceiling. Magnifying this realization is the fact that the flaws in your work are not limited to the current painting project, but to all painting projects past, such as those forest green splotches accidentally rollered onto the white ceiling of the bedroom that you fully intended to paint over with a bit of primer back in April.
That's when you realize that there's a real long half-life to not only most home-improvement accidents, but also to the good intentions people have at fixing them. After so many days, weeks and months go by, you look around and realize that no one has died because you never went back and touched up your mistakes and furthermore no one has noticed. In fact, you'd really have be looking for mistakes before you'd notice most of it. And who does that?
Now that I've realized I'm the asshole, it's become my resolution of the week to repair my future reputation with our home's future owners, and go around and fix all my crappy work.
And I'm gonna use my whole ass, this time.

(0,1)-category theory: logic, order theory
proset, partially ordered set (directed set, total order, linear order)
distributive lattice, completely distributive lattice, canonical extension
A distributive lattice is a lattice in which join and meet distribute over each other, in that for all in the lattice, the distributivity laws are satisfied:
The nullary forms of distributivity follow automatically:
Distributive lattices and lattice homomorphisms form a concrete category DistLat.
Any lattice that satisfies one of the two binary distributivity laws must also satisfy the other; isn't that nice? This convenience does not extend to infinitary distributivity, however.
Any Boolean algebra, and even any Heyting algebra, is a distributive lattice.
Any linear order is a distributive lattice.
An integral domain is a Prüfer domain? iff its lattice of ideals is distributive.
Let be the category of finite distributive lattices and lattice homomorphisms, and let be the category of finite posets and order-preserving functions. These are contravariantly equivalent, thanks to the presence of an ambimorphic object:
Proposition. The opposite category of is equivalent to :
This equivalence is given by the functor
where is the 2-element distributive lattice, and
where is the 2-element poset with .
This is mentioned in
Every distributive lattice, regarded as a category (a (0,1)-category), is a coherent category. Conversely, the notion of coherent category may be understood as a categorification of the notion of distributive lattice. A different categorification is the notion of distributive category.
The completely distributive algebraic lattices (the frames of opens of Alexandroff locales ) form a reflective subcategory of that of all distributive lattices. The reflector is called canonical extension.

[Previous] | [Session 21] | [Next]
E. Malumuth (SSAI/GSFC)
A careful examination of a well defined subset of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) parallel observations has been conducted. From these data we have amassed a catalog of close to 300 spectroscopically confirmed M type stars ranging in brightness from v~16 mag to v~23 mag, and nearly complete to v~22 mag. Each field examined was obtained between 14 August 1997 and 25 July 2000, had a galactic latitude <-20 degrees or >+20 degrees and had at least 2 images and 2 spectral images (so that cosmic ray hits could be removed). There were 626 fields which met those selection criteria covering 435 square degrees of the sky. However, a number of these fields had to be thrown out due to crowding of the stars (those fields were typically in the Magellanic clouds and globular clusters).
Each field was examined and a quick extraction of the spectrum of every star brighter than v~23 mag was made. In practice many stars between v~22 mag and v~23 mag were either missed or too faint to get a reasonable extraction, however the catalog should be nearly complete brighter than v~22 mag. Each extracted spectrum was automatically compared to a suite of template stars ranging form O type to L type. All stars whose best match was K8 or later were noted as candidate M or later type stars. These stars were then extracted taking care to avoid stars in the background, and those stars whose slitless spectra overlapped. These careful extractions were compared to the template spectra by eye to confirm the spectral type and luminosity class. Of about 340 candidate M stars 284 were confirmed in this way. A single M9V star was the latest type found.
The catalogue will be presented along with a preliminary analysis of the properties of the stars (i.e. luminosity function, numbers of M stars of each type found Vs expected number, given the magnitude limit and area searched).

First came the brochure mailed to Third District voters by the New Jersey Democratic State Committee.
The heads of Jon Runyan and his donkeys - the former Eagles lineman gets a tax break for raising them on his Mount Laurel estate - were superimposed on a photo of the Republican's gated mansion.
The unspoken message: Runyan - who hopes to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. John Adler in November - is a wealthy tax-dodger, unfit to hold public office.
Then came Runyan's volley. Voters received an oversize postcard showing a cartoon Adler, with flames shooting from his posterior, that read "Liar, Liar, pants on fire."

Red-ruby. Highly aromatic nose offers currant, cherry, dusty Provencal herbs, licorice and a whiff of game. Juicy and downright gulpable, with noteworthy energy and lift to its intense flavors of dark cherry, spices, thyme and licorice. Finishes with firm tannins and lovely lift. This southern French blend would be great with grilled lamb chops.

Form meets function with Garmin's high-performance line of personal trainers — the Forerunner 305 and
205. The Forerunner 305 includes a high sensitivity GPS receiver, new courses feature and robust wireless heart rate monitor for optimal performance.
Forerunner 305 sports a unique design that wraps the GPS antenna around part of the wrist for a better view of the sky, and its high sensitivity GPS receiver provides highly accurate speed and distance data, as well as improved tracking under trees and near tall buildings. Forerunner 305 also sports a robust
wireless heart rate monitor with softer, more comfortable chest strap and superior battery life. It eliminates cross-talk with other devices to reliably measure and send heart rate data, and it helps you train in your optimal heart rate zone.
Forerunner 305's courses feature lets you compete against previous workouts: you can compare your pace and heart rate to your past performance over the same run. You also can use Forerunner 305 to train for your next duathlon or triathlon with multi-sport workouts, a feature that lets you seamlessly transition between sports without resetting the unit, so you can use it for running, biking and more.
Train indoors and still track your distance, pace and calories burned with the optional Foot Pod
accessory. This wireless sensor attaches to your running shoe and transmits distance and pace data to your Forerunner 305 so you can still use it when GPS reception is unavailable.
You can customise any of Forerunner 305's three main data screens — up to 12 data fields give you instant feedback on your workout. And, as with every Forerunner, each workout is stored in memory so you can review and analyse the data and see how you've improved over time.
As an added benefit, you can plan, analyse and store data from your workouts using free
Garmin Training Center®
software, which lets you analyse data with interactive graphs that chart your pace, time, distance and heart rate. Overlay your run on a map so you can pinpoint specific areas and see how elevation and other factors affect your performance. Endurance athletes also can use the Forerunner with
TrainingPeaks.com, an easy-to-use Web-based training system designed to help athletes train for any event.
Forerunner 305: You'll like the results
This USB mass storage device is compatible with Windows® XP or newer and Mac® OS X 10.4 or later.

Just a quick update on Plaxico Burress, who did some light work during the team's morning walk through.
Jets coach Rex Ryan said that the left ankle that he tweaked on Wednesday is still swollen slightly and that the team will continue to exude caution.
"He started in walk through today," Ryan joked, when asked about Burress status.
Burress will likely work with a strength and conditioning coach instead, Ryan said.
On Thursday, he estimated the wide receiver would sit for one or two practices.

Highlights From the McDonnell Indictment
The federal indictment of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, and his wife, Maureen, paints a picture of a household with extravagant tastes, mounting debts and a well-to-do businessman willing to lend a Ferrari and a sizable amount of money.
Here are highlights from the indictment:
– The indictment portrays Virginia's former first couple as facing financial worries even before taking office. Maureen McDonnell allegedly wrote an email to a top staffer, asking about inauguration expenses:
"I need to talk to you about Inaugural clothing budget. I need answers and Bob is screaming about the thousands I'm charging up in credit card debt. We are broke, have an unconscionable amount in credit card debt already, and this Inaugural is killing us!! I need answers and I need help, and I need to get this done."
– By 2011, Ms. McDonnell was saying the couple faced severe financial difficulties, according to the indictment. Star Scientific's chief executive, Jonnie Williams, responded with a $50,000 loan, with no paperwork, to help with an array of expenses, including the McDonnell's daughter's wedding and the family's underperforming rental properties at Virginia Beach. Mr. Williams would later make additional loans, according to the indictment. Mr. Williams is referred to only as "JW" in the indictment.
–The McDonnells' financial straits also prompted them to reach out to their own kids for assistance, telling them the family needed to rent their beaches houses more, according to the indictment. "Willing to give your friends a discount for the times it's tougher to rent," the governor told his children in an email, according to the indictment. Ms. McDonnell later forwarded that email to Mr. Williams, prosecutors said.
– Ms. McDonnell's clothing plays a prominent role in the indictment. She allegedly wanted Mr. Williams to buy her an Oscar de la Renta designer dress for the governor's inauguration, but a staffer told her that such an arrangement would be inappropriate. She ultimately declined the dress, but said she would take a "rain check," according to the indictment. The indictment alleges that in 2011 Mr. Williams took her on a $20,000 New York City shopping spree for dresses for her daughter's wedding and an upcoming anniversary party. The tally, according to the indictment: "$10,999 at Oscar de la Renta, approximately $5,685 at Louis Vuitton, and approximately $2,604 at Bergdorf Goodman."
– The couple accepted several other gifts, according to the indictment, including golf outings and vacations. Among the most sensational allegations, the indictment alleges Ms. McDonnell asked Mr. Williams if the executive's Ferrari would be available for the governor's use during a vacation. Mr. Williams arranged for the Ferrari to be brought out to the vacation spot in Smith Mountain Lake, Va.
– On another occasion, Ms. McDonnell allegedly admired Mr. Williams's Rolex watch during a meeting and asked Mr. Williams to buy her husband one. Mr. Williams expressed concern that the governor might not want to wear "such a luxury watch given his role as a senior government official," according to the indictment, but he went ahead and purchased one for the governor.
– The indictment alleges that Mr. Williams and Star Scientific received extensive special treatment from the McDonnells, mostly related to the governor's support for company products, including a supplement called Anatabloc that was marketed for "anti-inflammatory support." Among other things, the McDonnells hosted a product launch for Anatabloc in 2011 at the governor's mansion, according to the indictment.
–Mr. Williams was seeking scientific studies that would bolster Anatabloc. At one point, in the presence of Ms. McDonnell and a policy adviser, he "discussed the idea of having Virginia government employees use Anatabloc as a control group for research studies," according to the indictment. The governor, meanwhile, was making his own personal effort, including during a meeting with Virginia's secretary of administration to discuss the state-employee health plan. During the meeting, the governor "pulled some Anatabloc out of his pocket and told the Secretary of Administration and one of her staff members that Anatabloc had beneficial health effects, that he personally took Anatabloc, and that it was working well for him," according to the indictment.
–The McDonnells took steps to conceal their loans and gifts, according to the indictment. Ms. McDonnell sought to avoid disclosing her ownership of Star Scientific stock, including shares she purchased shortly after receiving a loan from Mr. Williams. Her broker said he was uncomfortable with the request to assist her in avoiding annual reporting requirements, according to the indictment. The governor, meanwhile, failed to disclose gifts and loans from Mr. Williams, the indictment said.

ACU increases tuition six percent for next school year
ABILENE, Texas - Abilene Christian University students will have to shell out more to attend classes next year.
The private university will raise tuition by about six percent, almost $800 per semester next year.
"Every year I've been I think there's been tuition increases," ACU Junior Megan Robinson said.
"It kind of seems normal now tuition keeps raising every year," ACU Sophomore Chloe Gaulden said.
Next year's tuition hike isn't as steep as in years past. In fact, last time a tuition increase was this low was in 2000.
"They're trying their best to not raise the tuition but it does really stink because it's already very expensive," Gaulden said.
"It's just part of the education process I mean it's unfortunate but I chose to go to a private school and that's just kind of how it is," Robinson said.
ACU administrators said the reason behind the additional costs is that healthcare, energy and other expenses have been on the rise. That left ACU no choice but to pass along part of the price tag to students.
Some speculate new facilities like the recreation center might have something to do with the price hike.
"Another place to be, another place to be healthy, that's really cool and just in my program they're making improvements to the agency, which I really appreciate because it helps me get a job and have more experience and so I think they're using the money for good," said Robinson.
"It would be nice to see maybe less construction and lowered down tuition and that kind of thing," Gaulden said. "You can only get so many scholarships," she added.
Last year the school began offering block tuition instead of hourly-based tuition. That means students can take between 26 and 34 hours of classes for the same price. And students who take full advantage of annual block tuition can save thousands of dollars during their college career.
