Bone health studies
Human studies linking consumption of MK-7 to improved bone health.
Bone is a living tissue comprised of a compact outer shell and an inner tissue matrix that is also mineralized, but has a sponge-like appearence. The entire skeleton is constantly being repaired and rebuilt so that it is more or less completely replaced approximately every seven years. This process is regulated by soluble factors and performed by cells (osteoblasts, cells that build up bone tissue, and osteoclasts, cells that break it down). Osteoblasts produce the vitamin K-dependent protein osteocalcin. This protein binds calcium to the bone matrix and builds healthy bones. As long as the bone-forming activity (formation) is equal to the bone-breakdown (resorption), the process of maintaining healthy bones is kept under control.
Osteocalcin is a vitamin K-dependent protein, which means it needs natural Vitamin K2 to function properly. Thus long-term vitamin K-deficiency may lead to loss of calcium in the bone and reduced quality of bone. Populations that consume a significant amount of natural Vitamin K2 have stronger, healthier bones. Unfortunately, the Western diet does not contain sufficient amounts of Vitamin K2 to achieve this, and the majority of healthy people are therefore Vitamin K2 deficient.
Compared to people from Japan and Singapore, people in Scandinavia, the US and the UK, have very different incidences of fractures in forearms or hips, with Oslo having the highest incidence. This is the case despite the fact that that Norwegians traditionally drink a lot of milk, one of the best dietary sources of calcium. Even if the differences are most obvious in women, statistics show that poor bone status is also common for men, and that men in the Far East have better bone health than men in the West.
Many studies with vitamin K have linked vitamin K consumption to bone health. Some of them are:
- Braam et al. (2003) and Knapen (2007)
- vitamin K supplementation helps promote bone health and preserve bone mineral density
- Kaneki et al. (2001) and Ikeda (2006)
- increased intake of MK-7 from natto resulted in better levels of activated osteocalcin and a reduced risk of hip fracture
- Yaegashi (2008)
- both calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D were shown to be important for bone health, but natural Vitamin K2 from natto was identified as the key ingredient for preserving bone health.
Calcium, Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 in relation to bone health
Calcium has been the most obvious choice in bone health dietary supplements for decades. The major part of calcium (99%) in our bodies is in our skeleton (and teeth), only about 1% is found in the circulation. Calcium is involved in many important biochemical processes in the body, but the maintenance of the skeleton involves relatively large quantities of calcium. We need a steady supply of calcium to keep up the constant repair and rebuilding of the skeleton. However, we also require that the body can optimize the use of calcium. Several studies show that supplementing with calcium is not enough for optimal bone health. Adding vitamin D and vitamin K significantly improves bone health. Vitamin D stimulates the synthesis of osteocalcin, whereas Vitamin K2 is needed for the activation of osteocalcin. Only the Vitamin K2 activated osteocalcin will bind calcium optimally. In this way both vitamin D and Vitamin K2 work in synergy to enable efficient calcium use for improved bone health.

YOUNGSTOWN - As a fifth-year senior, Youngstown State receiver Jelani Berassa has watched fellow senior Kurt Hess warm up plenty of times over the years, but Berassa noticed something different on this night.
"Before the game started, we was doing warm-ups, and I said to Kurt, 'Man, I don't know what it is, but I feel something's in you today,' " Berassa said.
Hess laughed it off.

Youngstown State's Andrew Williams (80) and Nate Adams (44) celebrate after a Williams' touchdown in the second quarter. The Penguins scored at will Saturday, defeating Illinois State, 59-21.
Tribune Chronicle / Dave Dermer
Youngstown State running back and Warren G. Harding graduate Demond Hymes runs the ball upfield after breaking a tackle from Illinois State linebacker Rickey Simpson.
"I told him it was just the lights playing games with his head," he said.
Channeling his inner Yoda, Berassa's sense was right on - and so was Hess.
He threw for a career-high 310 yards and four touchdowns, most of which came in the first half, as the Penguins dismantled Illinois State, 59-21, to move to 6-1 and 3-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Hess completed 17 of 21 passes and all four of his TDs came in the first half, when No. 16-ranked YSU rolled to a 38-14 lead over the Redbirds (2-4, 1-2). He threw a near-perfect 67-yard touchdown pass down the middle of the field to Marcel Caver, hitting the speedy sophomore in stride. That came a few minutes after he tossed a similar touchdown pass to another up-and-coming sophomore, Andrew Williams. Hess also threw a 10-yard TD pass to Berassa during a 31-point second quarter, and he added a 2-yard strike to tight end/fullback Carson Sharbaugh in the first quarter.
"That's what you expect from Kurt Hess," YSU coach Eric Wolford said. "He's a student of the game. He's got a lot of guys around him who are weapons, so he can spread the field. We really expect that from Kurt. And we have a lot of good, young receivers."
Nine different players caught passes, led by Caver, who made three receptions for 99 yards and one touchdown. Williams had three catches for 68 yards and a TD, while Andre Stubbs (another sophomore) snagged three passes for 50 yards. They overshadowed a running game that churned out 273 yards and four touchdowns.
True freshman Martin Ruiz led the ground attack with 85 yards and one touchdown on eight carries. Jody Webb added 76 yards on seven touches, and Warren G. Harding graduate Demond Hymes, finally nearing 100 percent after an ankle injury, ran for 65 yards and one score on a team-high nine carries. He took over after Ruiz limped off the field in the second quarter with an ankle injury.
Overall, the offense piled up 569 total yards and set a record for points scored against an MVC opponent.
"Preparation," said Berassa of why the offense performed so well. "Coming into the game, coach said we was going to take some shots, and that's what we did. We just executed the game plan - and Kurt was on point."
The defense wasn't bad either, forcing three turnovers (one forced fumble, two interceptions) in the first half and making three sacks. The 'D' shut down Illinois State after the Redbirds engineered a 75-yard touchdown drive to open the game.
Wolford said it was one of best overall performances of the season for YSU, which blew a 28-7 lead against Illinois State last year, a game that essentially kept them out of the playoffs.
"If we want to go out and prove that we're a different team than we were last year, the only way to do it is to get on stage and play, and that's what we did," Wolford said. "This is a very humble team and a very hungry team. We've got an edge to us, and we've got to keep that edge."
The Penguins will have that chance at home against Western Illinois (3-4, 1-2). Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.

Intelligent Coffee Machine
Here is this coffee machine that learns and reacts to its user type of coffee you need. JL Hufford Coffee and Tea, gives you this futuristic appliance: Intelligent Coffee Machine / Super Automatic Coffee Machine.
This "super automatic coffee machine" actually "learns the drinking patterns of its users."
"For the first several weeks, the machine learns the drinking patterns of its users. Then it adapts. Every Sunday afternoon, it's French vanilla cappuccino time. Each weekday morning, it starts brewing a triple espresso at 7:00 am. After dinner, it does up a creamy decaf café au lait."
So how does this work?
The company is tight-lipped about this aspect, as it is the crux of this invention. Hints are made at GPS tracking or the existing RFID technology.
The machine will also be connected to the Internet, and you'll be able to get your brew started with a simple phone call.

The more the teams that comprise the state's Class AA girls' basketball classification change, the more they stay the same.
So if the top half of our first PennLive/Harrisburg Patriot-News rankings looks familiar, they should.
After that, well, it's kind of a crapshoot as the season tips off Friday night in a Pennsylvania gymnasium near you.
Reigning PIAA-AA champ Bishop Canevin lost three key starters to graduation, but we're keeping the Crusaders right near the top.
Meanwhile, the programs that have dominated in AA the last couple of years, 2012 champ Seton-LaSalle and York Catholic, which was back in the finals for the seventh time in eight years last March, are also at the top of the charts.
As mentioned with the AAAA and AAA state rankings, the first go-round in early December is never easy, because nobody has played yet.
But the following teams are all coming off positive seasons, and have the potential to do it again.
The AA preseason rankings …
1. Seton-LaSalle (District 7, 27-3 last season) — New season and new coach for the Rebels, who brought on former Chartiers Valley coach Spencer Stefko during the off-season. He guided Char to four WPIAL section championships and a 137-51 record. And now he has the keys to a Seton-LaSalle squad that has played in five WPIAL finals in a row, won District 7 titles in 2011 and 2012, and won the PIAA-AA crown in 2012 with a 30-0 mark. Rebels' standouts Naje Gibson, a senior, and Cassidy Walsh, a junior, both committed to Pitt, where they'll play for Panthers' coach Suzie McConnell-Serio, a Seton-LaSalle grad. Still stinging from WPIAL title-game loss to Bishop Canevin; should provide plenty of motivation for this crew.
2. Bishop Canevin (District 7, 27-4 last season) — Reigning PIAA champs lost three starters to graduation, including Duquesne recruit Erin Waskowiak. But coach Tim Joyce's cupboard is hardly bare, with West Liberty recruit — and standout scorer — Johnie Olkosky back in the fold. District 7-AA race could be a thriller, with Seton-LaSalle, Burrell and Jeannette all lurking later. Buckle up.
3. York Catholic (District 3, 29-3 last season) — Coach Kevin Bankos and his Fighting Irish were back in the PIAA finals for the seventh time in eight years in March, falling to Bishop Canevin by a 45-38 count. Slick wing Morgan Klunk has moved on, but York Catholic — which will go for its ninth District 3-AA title in a row; wow — returns wing scorer Zaenna Echevarria and post threat Hannah Laslo, among others. Could be another long postseason ride for the Irish.
4. Saint Basil Academy (District 1, 20-9 last season) — Coach Terry Mancini's Panthers, who have a penchant for shooting the 3-ball, won the District 1 title last winter on the way to a state Final Four trip. York Catholic knocked off Saint Basil in the semis. Philly suburb grind should SBA primed for the postseason.
5. Pine Grove (District 11, 24-5 last season) — Coach Chris George and his Cardinals turned a district runner-up finish into a trip to the state quarterfinals, where Pine Grove dropped a 49-44 decision to York Catholic. Keep an eye on 1,000-point scorer Becky Evans.
6. Burrell (District 7, 23-4 last season) — Meghan Ziemianski is back coaching her alma mater for the third season. Last season, she guided the Bucs to their first PIAA playoff victory in 19 years, and into the state quarterfinals, where Burrell was tripped up by Bishop Canevin 41-29. Leading scorer Sydney Bordonaro returns for Ziemianski, whose dad and brother have been on her staff. Family affair for the Bucs.
7. North East (District 10, 23-4 last season) — Coach Terry Frontino's Grapepickers took District 10 honors before falling to Mohawk in the second round of States. Alex Artise, the program's all-time leading scorer, has moved on to Mercyhurst. Could be another interesting race with General McLane and Sharpsville come playoff time.
8. Notre Dame-Green Pond (District 11, 22-6 last season) — Coach John Kopp's crew went all the way to the state quarterfinals last march, falling to District 1 champ Saint Basil Academy by a 45-42 count. Four key kids graduated, but Gabby Altmire and Bridget McMullan have some scoring punch for the Crusaders.
9. Mount Carmel (District 4, 24-5 last season) — Coach Lisa Varano and her Red Tornadoes made it three D4 crowns in a row last season, then piled up 80 points in a first-round state win over Wilkes-Barre GAR before falling to Pine Grove 50-43 in the second round. Seniors Ana Raybuck and Ali Varano are back to lead Mount Carmel, which will go for its fourth district title in a row.
10. Mohawk (District 7, 19-8 last season) — Super ride for coach Mike O'Lare's Warriors last winter, as Mohawk went to the PIAA quarterfinals for the first time since 1983, falling to WPIAL foe Seton-LaSalle 73-45. Eight seniors departed on graduation night. Still, Warriors are the preseason favorite to take division honors.
HONORABLE MENTION: Annville-Cleona (3) 16-10; Bellwood Antis (6) 24-4; Blairsville (6) 24-2; Brookville (9) 13-13; Delone Catholic (3) 20-7; Dunmore (2) 21-7; Everett (5) 18-7; General McLane (10) 23-4; Greensburg Central Catholic (7) 18-8; Holy Cross (2) 19-8; Imhotep Charter (12) 15-6; Jeannette (7) 17-8; Kane (9) 20-6; McGuffey (7) 20-4; Muncy (4) 18-8; Neumann-Goretti (12) 14-12; Southern Columbia (4) 19-7; Westmont Hilltop (6) 21-5; Wilkes-Barre GAR (2) 14-12.

We propose a new approach to model high- and low-frequency components of equity correlations. Our framework combines a factor asset pricing structure with other specifications capturing dynamic properties of volatilities and covariances between a single common factor and idiosyncratic returns. High-frequency correlations mean revert to slowly varying functions that characterize long-term correlation patterns. We associate such term behavior with low-frequency economic variables, including determinants of market and idiosyncratic volatilities. Flexibility in the time-varying level of mean reversion improves both the empirical fit of equity correlations in the U.S. and correlation forecasts at long horizons.

Referees: the scapegoat in black?
In a wide range of sport events like Premiership football, world championship boxing, Olympic ice skating and gymnastics – the talking point at the end of competition often focuses the skill of the officials and not that of the contestants. Referees, umpires and judges can be the target of unrestrained complaints about seemingly unfair decisions and outcomes.
However, the appointed officials in such high-profile events are always highly trained individuals who know their sports inside out. Their performance is scrutinised and evaluated by their peers and superiors, and their future selection is jeopardised if they are deemed to have made questionable decisions. They are thus highly motivated to perform well and maintain unblemished reputations for objectivity and accuracy.
Why, then, do we so often find ourselves disappointed and angry with their decisions, blaming them for what we see as inexplicable, biased judgments? One view is that even the most knowledgeable, well-intentioned officials may be unable to fulfill the complex functions asked of them.
Studies suggest, for example, that it's impossible for a referee's assistant to judge many offside incidents, as seeing the ball leaving one footballer's foot at the same time as another player's carefully timed run is outside the realm of human capability. Other factors such as lack of Superman's speed and the difficulty of positioning might exacerbate the problem.
It is also conceivable that, consciously or not, officials are motivated to please the crowd. Judging a skater's routine in a totally objective manner will be very difficult in the face of enthusiastic vocal support for local heroes.
And a study of the German equivalent of Premier League football referees found more time added to games when the home team is behind by a goal, as well as fewer decisions in favour of the home side when the crowd is separated from the pitch by a running track. Even the most objective and confident of referees may not be immune to information conveyed by the crowd. Fifty thousand voices shouting 'handball!' in unison might just sway a referee's 50:50 decision.
Finally, one possibility is that we are the ones who are biased. Football managers giving post-match interviews rarely complain about referee decisions after a win. It's mainly when their result is unpalatable that they insult the referee's intelligence and even honesty.
We humans are known to make self-serving attributions when explaining negative outcomes, focusing on factors that are outside our personal control – bad weather, a poor pitch or a visually challenged referee. But when we succeed, we praise our own skill, training, strategy and creativity.
Further evidence for fan bias is that we believe that referees make kinder decisions for our opponents than ourselves – but obviously we can't all be right about that. Thus it's difficult to resist criticising officials after our favourite athletes fail to win, but it just might be worth examining our own motives before dishing out the blame.

BGF sees promise in Morphsuits firm AFG Media
Email a Friend
The entrepreneurs behind AFG Media, a fancy dress and party fashion business behind Morphsuits, are the latest recipients of equity funding from the Business Growth Fund.
The Business Growth Fund (BGF), which is backed by high street banks, has made its fifth investment in the past month by backing AFG Media with £4.2 million in growth capital.
Following on from recent deals involving Springfield Homecare, Seacroft Care Village, Primrose and Cennox, the BGF has decided to support AFG Media's plans to bring new product lines to market and expand its already existing presence in the US and planned penetration into Europe, Mexico, Russ, Japan and China.
AFG Media was established in 2009 by Gregor Lawson and brothers Fraser and Ali Smeaton, all Edinburgh University graduates. The business is driven by Morphsuits, all-in-one skintight lycra costumes which allow to wearer to see others whilst remaining anonymous.
Since the Edinburgh-headquartered company was founded three years ago it has seen revenues grow from £1.2 million in 2010 to £11 million in 2012. It has centred its marketing campaign around social media and now has one million 'fans' on its Facebook page.
Its US growth was aided in 2011 when US retail chain Party City placed an order for Morphsuits in the run-up to Halloween.
As part of the deal the BGF has brought in Ralph Kugler as chairman to connect the business to its network of contacts. Kugler has experience of serving on the board of InterContinental Hotels and Unilever and is an advisor to the board of Mars, chairman of AIM-listed Byotrol and was chairman of Gorkana Group until April 2010.
Smeaton comments, 'This investment will step-change AFG Media and will allow us to drive our thriving business globally.
'Having Ralph Kugler as our chairman, with his proven track record of building global brands with Unilever, means we will benefit from his invaluable experience as we build brands on a similar scale within the fancy dress market.'
Duncan Macrae, investment director at BGF is also joining the board of AFG Media and says that new product lines such as Foul Fashion and Royal & Awesome present 'strong opportunities' for AFG Media.
He adds, 'There is a growing demand from businesses looking for long-term funding.
'We are looking to inspire entrepreneurs to achieve more and to make a real difference to the community of small and mid-sized companies that need guidance and support as much as funding to achieve growth.'

The broadband war is widening. Recently, AT&T (NYSE: T ) announced plans to bring service to five new markets for a total of 212, CNET reports.
AT&T's expansion covers two cities in Texas (Jacksonville and Palestine), two in Missouri (Sedalia and Warrensburg), and Manhattan, Kansas. In the video below, Tim Beyers of Motley Fool Rule Breakers and Motley Fool Supernova discusses which companies gain from this move.
More coverage means more broadband for mobile devices, which, in turn, is good news for the companies dependent on serving data to us anytime, anywhere -- Facebook (NASDAQ: FB ) and Google, notably. And what of AT&T stock? Even with this expansion the carrier badly trails its main rival, Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) , in terms of the number of markets served. Concentrate your research efforts on Facebook and Google instead.
Do you agree? Please watch the video to get Tim's full take, and then let us know whether you would buy, sell, or short AT&T stock at current prices.

We have performed a high-resolution spectroscopic chemical survey of molecular species and isotopic ratios in comet C/2004 Q2 (Machholz), 2001 Q4 (NEAT) and 2002 T7 (LINEAR). The measurements were focused on the study of the cyanide chemistry with the detection of HCN, HNC and H13CN, as well as other important molecular species in the cometary coma, i.e. H2CO, CS, CH3OH and CO. Rotational temperatures in the coma were retrieved from the intensity ratio between different methanol lines, and production rates have been estimated from the integrated line intensities. Molecular abundances for comet Q2 and T7 near perihelion are similar to those observed in other comets, while the H2CO abundance relative to water is high. Since CO is partly originated from the photodissociation of H2CO, we also expected an enhancement in the CO production rates. However, our observations show a depletion of CO if compared to other comets, implying that CO is mainly originated from a different depleted source. The study of the isotopic ratios in Q2 revealed that the comet probably formed coevally with the solar system, since the measured [HCN]/[H13CN] is similar to the terrestrial value. Furthermore, the detected isomeric column density ratio of [HNC]/[HCN] in Q2 at 1.2 AU heliocentric distance is particularly high, and could be related to unprocessed interstellar material.

SECTION 377Sex meets society, in court
The Centre, mulling over the Delhi High Court verdict on Section 377 of the IPC, should recognise a basic principle of democratic freedoms - we are free when others are free. The India Together editorial.
MUMBAI TERROR ATTACKSWill it be different this time?
Should we believe the promises politicians make to us this time around? Whatever it is you want the government to do about terrorism, begin by asking who will do it, and how. The India Together editorial on the Mumbai terror attacks.
EDITORIAL - INDEPENDENCE DAYLess government, by default
While endless rounds of complaint and criticism have been seen in every arena, this has not led the public to demand that the size of government be reduced. How long will this last? The India Together editorial.
EDITORIALMinistries must stop being regulators
Regulation that is working well, as well as others that plainly speak of misgovernance, are both instructive; the road forward lies in separating regulation from the government, and vesting this instead in independent and autonomous bodies created by Parliament. The India Together editorial.
EDITORIALFree expression, without contempt
Most public matters before judges are simply 'in court', and not necessarily sub judice to the extent that voicing one's views about them publicly would merit contempt charges. The courts should recognise the distinction formally, with a clear standard for separating the two. The India Together editorial.
THE NARMADA PROTESTA moral breach in the dam
As the demands for justice draw embarrassingly close to the PM, the decision to raise the height of the Sardar Sarovar dam is being reviewed. But promises are nothing new, and officials have always known that they can be broken with impunity. Should we expect anything different this time? The India Together editorial.
EDITORIAL / ECONOMYToo little, for too long
Minimum wage regulations continue to defy the very meaning of what the wage is for. The original premise - wages for people to live with minimum level of economic security, as well as dignity - is gone, its spirit lost in myriad variables that rise from states, sectors, bureaucracies and notifications. The India Together editorial.
EDITORIALThe infrastructure of trust
Our governments face mistrust, cynicism, and opposition from citizens, and even good plans are often defeated by this. Therefore, our development plans should focus first not on building physical infrastructure, but on erecting the infrastructure to restore citizens' trust in government. The India Together editorial.
EDITORIAL: CONSOLIDATING MUNICIPALITIESThe sum of broken parts
Should Bangalore and its surrounding municipalities be merged into a single jurisdiction, as the state's politicians are now proposing to do? The Constitutional standard as well as Bangalore's abysmal record of administering even the core metropolis both argue against centralisation. The India Together editorial.
EDITORIAL / DEVELOPMENTAn exceptional nation
Can we be a 'rich' people without doing any of the things that 'rich' countries now do, without the foundations on which they built their progress? That's an important question - because if the answer is no, then our current path to prosperity is in vain, and won't forestall another few decades of poverty and all-round deprivation. The India Together editorial.
Think outside the barrel
Global oil prices have risen dramatically, and nationalised oil companies have been crying themselves hoarse over the government's reluctance to correspondingly increase retail prices. The sensible long term alternative is to move beyond fossil fuels, with clear policy initiatives. The India Together editorial.
A qualified freedom
For hundreds of millions of citizens, the pursuit of dignity and happiness remains an unfinished journey. Political parties are still busy interpreting freedom for the people, rather than simply giving it to them. As a result, the appearance of independence is strong, whereas in practice there is much more to be done. The India Together editorial.

Here's a great soup for your files, especially as we transition from winter to spring. It's delicious served hot, cold or room temperature - so If it's cold outside, serve the soup hot to warm your bones, if warm, serve chilled or room temperature.
Adaptability is another virtue. Craving Thai? Substitute coconut milk for cow's, and sauté the addition of a heaping tablespoon lemon grass with the garlic. Maybe a chopped hot pepper for good measure. Bring on the heat!
Active Time: 20 minutes
Simmer Time: 35-40 minutes
Yield: 4 cups (2 servings)
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/2 cup chopped white onion
1 tablespoon grated or finely chopped ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-2 inch pieces
3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 cup whole milk
2-3 tablespoons coarsely chopped Tamari almonds or dry-roasted peanuts
1. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed stockpot or Dutch oven. Add onion and sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add ginger and garlic and sauté an additional minute, stirring.
2. Add stock and carrots and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook, uncovered, until carrots are very tender, about 35-40 minutes.
3. Purée in pot with an immersion blender or transfer in batches to a food processor and purée with milk. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Garnish with almonds or peanuts and serve.

After forming a committee and collecting information throughout the summer, The University of Texas-Pan American formally began its yearlong self-study recently to be certified again by the NCAA.
Members of the University's steering committee - which formed in June - met with Kelly Brooks, NCAA liaison, via teleconference Aug. 24 to receive instructions on how to proceed with its self examination.
The University must undergo a yearlong study every 10 years as part of the NCAA Division I athletics certification program. The assessment will look at governance and commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, gender and diversity issues and student-athlete well-being.
NCAA Division I members approved the certification program during its 1993 convention. UTPA conducted self studies in 1994-1995 and in 2000-2002.
The purpose of the self-study is to ensure integrity in universities' athletics programs by setting standards for operating them and imposing sanctions when any institution fails to address issues within their programs. To learn more about the self-study, click here.
"The program opens up athletics to the rest of the University community and to the public," said Dr. Robert S. Nelsen, UTPA president. "UT Pan Am will benefit by increasing campus-wide awareness and knowledge of our athletics program, confirming its strengths and developing plans to improve areas of concern. This videoconference kickoff was professionally conducted and we thank the NCAA for their level of guidance through this process."
Brooks met separately with Nelsen and Dr. Susan Griffith, executive director of the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness and the steering committee chair, as well as with committee and subcommittee members.
"The most rewarding part of the videoconference was having Mr. Brooks walk each subcommittee through the NCAA self-study instrument," said Griffith. "He made sure we understood what the NCAA is looking for in terms of evidence of compliance, and gave examples of the data and other information we should include to be successful. Also, having him there on the screen and hearing his voice humanized the NCAA and made us feel we have a colleague we can call on for help in the future."
The steering committee is expected to complete and submit its study to the NCAA in April 2011. An external team of reviewers will conduct an evaluation visit on campus that following fall and report its findings to the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification. UTPA should receive notification of its certification status in April 2012.
A complete list of individuals directly involved in the UTPA NCAA self-study can be found here.

A new indictment adds eight charges to those a former employee of a New Jersey-based defense contractor already faces in connection with giving China sensitive military technical data, federal authorities said Wednesday.
The 11-count indictment expands upon allegations that Sixing Liu, 48, misappropriated and exported sensitive military technology to China, according to authorities.
The indictment also revealed that Liu, of Deerfield, Ill., and recently of Flanders, worked for Space & Navigation, a division of L-3 Communications, from March 2009 through November 2010 as a senior staff engineer. The name of the company was not revealed when Liu was arrested in March.
Wednesday's indictment charges Liu with eight counts of exporting defense-related technical data without a license, one count of transporting stolen goods across state lines and two counts of making false statements to law enforcement agents, said U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman.
The indictment and authorities said Liu was on a team that worked on navigation and positioning devices the U.S. Defense Department uses in artillery and missile systems.
Liu flew to Shanghai in November 2010, authorities said. When he returned, U.S. customs officers found a non-work-issued computer that held numerous L-3 Communications documents, authorities said, citing the indictment.
Liu allegedly talked about his work at Chinese universities, a government research entity and a government-organized conference.

Last fall, Tommie Hill would run into old friends or people he hadn't seen in a while, and they'd all want to know the same thing: why was he back home in Denver instead of practicing and playing with the Giants in East Rutherford?
They had seen his game-winning touchdown on a fumble recovery as time expired in the preseason opener against the Panthers. It was a play that had earned him plenty of respect and thanks from his veteran teammates and, to be frank, from the Carolina sideline as well. After all, Hill's touchdown had prevented something no one wants to see: an overtime period in the preseason.
But the goodwill wasn't quite enough to extend to final cuts, when Hill was let go and not signed to the practice squad. That's what Hill's friends didn't quite understand.
"You have to make more than one lucky play," the defensive end said the other day.
Monday night against the Jets – one day shy of the anniversary of his big moment on ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast – Hill will have another opportunity to make plays with the help of luck and talent.
An undrafted free agent from Colorado State last season, Hill was re-signed by the Giants to a reserve/future contract in January. It was a blessing for the 6-6, 245-pounder, who had gone the entire 2009 regular season without getting a call or a workout from another team.
While keeping hope alive he'd one day get another shot at the NFL, Hill nonetheless started to think it might never occur, so he embarked on another career: a personal trainer. While working to get his credentials as a trainer, he earned money as a sales associate for 24 Hour Fitness in Denver.
"Yeah, I actually had to get a real job. I didn't really like that," Hill said. "Working a 9-to-5, wearing a suit and stuff, that's not for me."
Hill had no choice at the time. The Giants had told him they might be interested in adding him to the practice squad at some point, but hat opportunity never arose and other teams declined to even take a look at him.
In January, with clubs again allowed to expand their rosters to 80 players for the upcoming season, Hill knew he'd have a chance to at least work out for some teams. But only the Colts were willing to invite him. That's when the Giants called with an offer to give him a second shot.
"They said be ready for us to call you back. I was just hoping it would be a little sooner than four months after," Hill, who had four tackles last preseason, said with a laugh. "Any chance is a good chance, but I figured signing with the Giants and being with them all spring is better than a tryout at a new place. I've been here and know some of the guys. It was awesome."
The odds are against Hill in his run at the active roster. The Giants have five defensive ends likely to stick, meaning Hill and veteran Alex Hall won't. Of course, Hill is eligible for the practice squad, so an impressive preseason could save him from another regular season of sales calls.
But don't bother telling Hill he'll always have that moment on national TV. He wants more than that.
"Hopefully, that was like a stepping stone," he said, adding: "I want to be a part of a team. Not just any team, a great team. I want to be there."

HOLYOKE – A two-person arrest at the Holyoke Mall at Ingleside netted $51,000 worth of heroin.
Lt. Matthew F. Moriarty said, in a phone interview Thursday and an email earlier this week, that 5,100 packets of heroin were seized June 1 after police learned a large shipment was headed to the mall.
Abraham Heredia, 20, of Holyoke, was charged with heroin trafficking and conspiracy to violate the drug law, he said.
Jordan Keagy, 25, of South Glenns Falls, N.Y. was charged with heroin trafficking, conspiracy to violate the drug law, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, he said.
Heredia and Keagy were set to be arraigned in Holyoke District Court Monday but the outcomes were unavailable.
Officers established surveillance in a mall parking lot at 6 p.m. They saw Heredia in a gray Kia Spectra, and after Keagy approached and entered the car, officers converged, he said.
Keagy struggled but was handcuffed and searched found to have a large fixed blade and 30 bags of heroin, he said.
Heredia was also taken out of the vehicle and heroin packets were found in the passenger side door. Heredia was handcuffed without incident, he said.

After a failed experiment as a starter and a transitional period in Pawtucket spent attempting to regain his touch as a reliable relief pitcher, Daniel Bard will make his return to the Boston Red Sox Thursday night in Anaheim.
He doesn't know much about the role he'll fill in Boston, but Bard does know for sure he's a reliever now. He began the year in the starting rotation, making 10 starts and one relief appearance while registering a 5-6 mark with a 5.23 ERA in the early parts of the season.
Some might call his attempts at starting a failure, but Bard told the Boston Herald he doesn't see it that way.
"Not at all," he said. "I took it as a challenge. I wouldn't say that I failed. I had one really bad start and that led to me getting sent down. Up until then, I was pretty much on par with all the other guys in the rotation. I wouldn't say I failed. I'd say that it was what it was. It was an experiment, and I chose to move forward out of the bullpen and I'm fine with that, too."
Bard's struggles only got worse after he was demoted to Triple-A and returned to his former role as a reliever. In 31 appearances with Pawtucket, the righty was 3-2 with a 7.03 ERA, 32 strikeouts and 29 walks over 32.0 innings. He says part of his troubles can be blamed on a change in mentality he underwent by necessity.
"I think I was trying to morph myself into a starter too much, trying to change, throw my changeup, frontdoor cutters, backdoor sinkers, just trying to do things I hadn't done in the past," Bard said. "It worked some days and didn't work other days. I kind of lost the pitcher that I felt like I was the last three years. I had to kind of do what I had to do to rediscover that.
"You look at any video from the last three years, I was pretty much fastball-slider, attack the zone and hit it if you can. That's the mentality that I'm back to now."
A quick glance at Bard's game logs with Pawtucket shows that he might have made recent strides toward recovering the form that made him so valuable as a setup man in Boston (1.93 ERA in 2010, 3.33 ERA in 2011). After surrendering eight earned runs and 10 walks in his previous six appearances, Bard only allowed one earn run and two walks during his last four outings in Pawtucket.
Now, he must prove that he can continue making strides at the Major League level, where he once dominated, but now, at age 27, is just being asked to help out.

Erie County Election Board won't accept nomination papers if Beeman tries running for office
On June 17 -- three days after his release from federal prison -- former Erie County Councilman Ebert G. Beeman walked into the Voter Registration Office at the Erie County Courthouse and started asking questions.
Beeman asked for, and received, copies of the paperwork necessary to run for office as an Independent in the Nov. 5 municipal election, according to county election workers.
However, the Voter Registration Office plans to reject any paperwork Beeman might bring back, since the Erie County Board of Elections considers Beeman ineligible to run for public office because of his felony fraud conviction in 2012.
Tom Talarico, the Election Board's solicitor, issued a memorandum Tuesday stating that, in his opinion, "Mr. Beeman is disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit in this Commonwealth."
County Councilman Phil Fatica, Beeman's former colleague and the county Election Board's chairman, said he agrees with Talarico's opinion.
Fatica also said he and other council members have grown tired of Beeman's attempts to stay in politics.
"Does Mr. Beeman not understand the meaning of the word 'No?'" Fatica said. "You are a convicted felon. You cannot run for public office. You have forfeited your right to do this."
Beeman pleaded guilty in federal court in Erie in March 2012 to charges he used a fake Social Security number to apply for two credit cards and two jobs between 2007 and 2010.
Chief U.S. District Judge Sean J. McLaughlin in July 2012 sentenced Beeman to a year and a day in prison, and two years of probation, He was eligible for early release for good behavior; Beeman left federal prison on June 14.
Talarico wrote the memo at Smith's request because of Beeman's visit to the Voter Registration Office.
"Should Mr. Beeman file or attempt to file a Nomination Petition, whether for County Council or any public office, the Voters Registration Office shall refuse to accept the Petition," Talarico wrote.
The office's supervisor, Kim DeLand, said workers plan to follow Talarico's advice if Beeman returns with nominating petitions.
"We're not going to be accepting petitions from Mr. Beeman," DeLand said.
Beeman could not be reached for comment.
Senior Election Clerk Patty Messenger said she talked with Beeman on June 17, and gave him copies of nominating petitions for Waterford Township auditor, as well as a general petition for any countywide office.
Beeman is a registered Independent, Messenger said.
"He was only here a short time, five minutes at most," said Messenger, a county elections worker for 17 years. "He took the forms he said he wanted and left."
Beeman formerly represented County Council's 6th District, which includes most of southern Erie County.
Erie County President Judge Ernest J. DiSantis Jr. removed Beeman from office on Nov. 30, but Beeman appealed to the state Supreme Court, where the case is pending.
Talarico referred to DiSantis' decision in his memo.
"The Opinion and Order of Judge DiSantis, Dated Nov. 30, 2012, is the law of the case and governs any aspiration Mr. Beeman may have to run for public office," Talarico wrote.
Beeman's successor, Edward T. DiMattio Jr., of Waterford, was appointed by County Council in December to fill Beeman's unexpired term.
Beeman was a registered Republican when he won his seat. He campaigned on an anti-government platform, and his votes on County Council reflected that stance.
A Republican, DiMattio captured his party's nomination for the 6th District seat in the May primary. DiMattio also won the Democratic nomination via write-ins, and is virtually assured of victory in November.

1939 Baseball Hall of Fame "Opening Day" Commemorative Bat
Starting Bid - $200.00, Sold For - $1,972.00
Extremely rare souvenir bat manufactured by H&B, issued to commemorate of the opening of the Baseball Hall of Fame on June 12, 1939. Similar in appearance to H&B's World Series black bats, the bat is stamped "Cavalcade of Baseball-Cooperstown N.Y.-June 12, 1939" in gilt lettering along the barrel. The gold-painted 1939 Baseball Centennial logo appears between the barrel stamping and center-brand label. These bats were only presented to Hall of Fame officials and dignitaries attending the ceremonies on that day and were not available for purchase. For that reason, they are exceedingly rare. The opening of the Baseball Hall of Fame was the highlight of Major League Baseball's year-long anniversary celebration. The festivities that day, referred to as the "Cavalcade of Baseball," included not only the formal dedication of the building but also the induction of the first twenty-six members of the Hall of Fame and an exhibition game between teams made up of Major League stars. This is the first example of this rare relic we have ever offered. Length: 34 inches. Weight: 35.5 ounces. Excellent to Mint condition. Reserve $200. Estimate $400/$600. SOLD FOR $1,972.00

FARGO, N.D. -- Cleveland Browns executive Jon Sandusky, the son of former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, was arrested early Tuesday on suspicion of driving under the influence, police said Wednesday.
Jon Sandusky, 36, the Browns' director of player personnel, was initially pulled over around 1:50 a.m. Tuesday for making an illegal turn, Fargo Police Lt. Joel Vettel said. The officer suspected Sandusky of driving under the influence and, after administering several field sobriety tests, determined there was probable cause for an arrest, Vettel said.
He was booked and released from Cass County Jail a short time later, Vettel said.
Jerry Sandusky, 69, a former Penn State defensive coordinator, was convicted last year of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. He is serving 30 to 60 years in a Pennsylvania prison.
Jon Sandusky is in his second season with the Browns after spending nine years with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to the Browns' official website. With the Browns, he is responsible for evaluating college prospects and professional free agents.
Jon Sandusky played safety at Penn State from 1996-1999 and graduated from the school with a degree in exercise science. He was a coaching intern at Penn State for one year, in 2000, before joining the Eagles organization.

- Full Description
A modern information retrieval system must have the capability to find, organize and present very different manifestations of information – such as text, pictures, videos or database records – any of which may be of relevance to the user. However, the concept of relevance, while seemingly intuitive, is actually hard to define, and it's even harder to model in a formal way. Lavrenko does not attempt to bring forth a new definition of relevance, nor provide arguments as to why any particular definition might be theoretically superior or more complete. Instead, he takes a widely accepted, albeit somewhat conservative definition, makes several assumptions, and from them develops a new probabilistic model that explicitly captures that notion of relevance. With this book, he makes two major contributions to the field of information retrieval: first, a new way to look at topical relevance, complementing the two dominant models, i.e., the classical probabilistic model and the language modeling approach, and which explicitly combines documents, queries, and relevance in a single formalism; second, a new method for modeling exchangeable sequences of discrete random variables which does not make any structural assumptions about the data and which can also handle rare events. Thus his book is of major interest to researchers and graduate students in information retrieval who specialize in relevance modeling, ranking algorithms, and language modeling.

A man was killed in a Chambersburg shooting on Monday.
Calvin Warren James Beam, 18, was shot several times near Franklin Street and Martin Avenue about 10:30 p.m. Monday, police said.
Police said they think some kind of disagreement between Beam and another person may have started in the Salvation Army Thrift Store parking lot.
Officers said they found Beam lying in a parking lot next door.
Police said they are not sure how many shots were fired. One of them hit a house across from the shooting scene.
"We'll have to figure out how they knew each other and what the disagreement was about and what witnesses are available and I'm quite confident we'll solve it," said Chambersburg Police Chief David Arnold.
