I choose Valpo...
because it is the only place where I can be an engineer who speaks German, dances, and occasionally writes papers about Plato.
Mechanical Engineering and German majors
Katie Rinda knew already as a high school student that VIEP-German was for her. A mechanical engineer with a heart for the humanities, Katie is double-majoring in mechanical engineering and German, while also taking courses in Valpo's honors college and competing with the ballroom dance team. As a freshman Katie attended the weekly Kaffeestunde and fearlessly interacted with seniors, professors, and native-speaker community members: a good sign for the fearlessness she'll need when she does her cooperative-education experience in Germany.
"As an engineering, language, and honors student, there was no place but Valpo. Both the German department and the engineering department have spent a lot of time helping me figure scheduling out and preparing me for studying and working abroad. I don't think that anywhere else would have been so supportive."
-- Katie
• Katie has taught in Kinder lernen Deutsch.

121/2 runs on the total , just last night they scored a total of 2 runs, and the night before that game a whopping total of 1 RUN.
Wind: From the SSW at 19 mph Wind Speed-medium
This in know way justifys 12 1/2 runs.
Then again bookmakers do not give out free money
I know it is one game however, they are being beat soundly by a young squad who right now is embrasing them.
World champs do not let that happen Jordan and the bulls would never let this happen.
At least put up a fight make it close just not a good sign for the Lakers. I know they can turn it on when ever they want however, cleveland never lays down to anybody can't say that about the Lakers

Gate Keeper
For Lydia Kennard, Security at Lax Means Her Way or the Runway
That no-nonsense attitude led Kennard, 47, to immediately ban all curbside drop-offs, shut down airport parking garages and spend $10 million on new screening machines, shatterproof glass and added security personnel—turning LAX into what The Wall Street Journal called "the Alcatraz of airports." But Kennard, who oversees a bigger airport system than any other woman in the U.S. (she runs three other L.A.-area facilities as well), doesn't mind the criticism. "When I think about the families left alone because of the attacks," she says, "I know we're right to put security above all else."
Her most controversial and costly move was keeping private cars away from the terminal, well before the FAA advised other airports to follow suit. Besides cutting out curbside drop-offs until mid-December, she closed half the airport's 14,000 parking spaces for six weeks. As a result, passengers had to take shuttle buses from up to two miles away. Airport garages lost $100,000 a day and 350 workers were laid off. Union executive Miguel Contreras complained at a public hearing that "airport authorities overreacted." But Kennard didn't budge. At meetings with officials and businessmen, "she remained the calmest person in the room," says L.A. Mayor James K. Hahn.
Kennard's turn in the hot seat has been complicated by the fact that she is pregnant with her second child, due this summer. Despite severe morning sickness in the weeks after the attacks, she went before the cameras repeatedly, reminding the public that three of the four hijacked planes were originally bound for LAX and that her airport had been the target of a foiled bombing plot on New Year's Day, 2000. "I would do a press conference," she says, "then throw up and keep going."
Unlike most airport bosses, Kennard doesn't have a background in aviation or the military. A construction-company owner who served on the city's building commission, she was recruited as deputy director in 1994 by then LAX chief Jack Driscoll. When she took over the $231,000-a-year top job in March 2000, her mandate was to oversee a $12 billion expansion of the airport. No more. Now her days are spent taking calls from FBI, FAA and local law-enforcement officials and grappling with a 20 percent decline in business. Sales at airport shops alone are down by as much as half. "There isn't any normal anymore," she says, "and it's not going to go back."
Kennard credits her family for her tenacity. Reared in the Hollywood Hills, she is the daughter of retired bilingual teacher Helen, 76, and Robert, who died in 1995. He founded KDG Architecture, one of the country's oldest African-American design firms. (It built several of LAX's parking garages.) Kennard recalls that each time her father began a project, he would tell his kids at dinner, "I'm a dreamer, and the dreamers are dreaming big dreams tonight." Kennard's siblings fulfilled their own dreams as well: Brother William, 45, a lawyer, was the first black chairman of the Federal Communications Commission; sister Gail Madyun, 50, is chief executive officer of her father's firm.
Lydia was Daddy's girl through and through. "Since I was little," she says, "I wanted to build things." She graduated from Stanford University in 1975, and in 1979 earned both a master's in urban planning from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a law degree from Harvard. She joined KDG a year later and founded its construction arm in 1980. In 1992 she wed Sammi Reeves, 40, who now runs it. They met in 1990, when Kennard outbid a pal of Reeves's on a building project. "He heckled me," she recalls. Then he invited her to lunch. Today the couple and their daughter Marlyse, 7, share a four-bedroom ranch home with a pool and tennis court.
Not that Kennard has time to play. But she's not complaining. "This is an opportunity to serve people at a time of real need," she says. "I guess I'm dreaming those big dreams, just like my dad said."

Required: Lab manual on GEO110 Public Folder or in the bookstore
1. Three examinations on lecture/textbook material. All exams will cover only material discussed since the previous exam, except as new material relates to previously tested material. Exams will be a combination of true-false, multiple choice, matching, fill-in, problems, and essay. Every effort should be made to take the exams. The best three count toward your grade. Exams will be given February 13, March 17, and April 23. *****NO**** make-up exams will be given!!!!!! An optional final exam will be given during final exam week. If you miss an exam, either an approved paper must be written or the final exam must be taken. If two exams are missed, both the paper and final exam must be written. All students with less than a 79.9 average on April 28 will be required to take the final exam.
2. A five-to-ten page paper on a course-related topic covered this semester can replace an exam that is taken, unless an illness precludes your taking an exam. Under such circumstances, a doctor's note will be required. The paper is due no later than March 31. NO extensions. The topic MUST be approved by the instructor by March 1. Papers MUST also be approved by the Writing Lab. Submit their approval form with your paper. You cannot change your topic after March 1. Failure to get written approval will result in a one letter grade loss. Don't wait until the last minute to write the paper. The paper MUST be proofread and spellchecked. One point will be deducted for any more than two mistakes in proofreading or spelling. Guidelines are on the GEO110 web folder. Because of the deadlines, if the third exam is missed, the paper is not an option. The paper requires three refereed journals to be referenced. Failure to follow guidelines will result in grade penalties. Using GEOREF is preferable to EBSCOHost.
3. Quizzes will be given every week on Wednesday except exam weeks. April 7's quiz will be given April 9. These will take no more than 10-15 minutes. Staying current with the course material will maximize your scores on these quizzes. The best 10 will count toward your grade.
4. Homework assignments will be given on a regular basis with specific due dates. Failure to turn in the assignment on the due date will result in a loss of one grade until one week late and a zero if turned in more than one week late. Approximately 80% of the assignments will count toward your grade.
5. A map quiz identifying the names and locations of mountain ranges, lakes, seas, and ocean currents worldwide will be given March 3. The list is on the GEO110 public folder.
6. The laboratory part of the course will include lab exercises and field trips. The lab grade will come from lab exams held every four weeks covering material from the labs since the previous exam. The exam dates are February 10, March 9 or 16, and April 13. These exams will be open-book. The best three exams will count towards your grade. An optional cumulative lab exam will be given on April 27. Lab reports from the field trips will count as extra credit added to your total score for the labs. The lab exercises are not required to be handed in, but their completion will certainly help in your open-book lab exam. If you hand in the lab reports, the instructor will review and return promptly.
7. Attending class and lab is an essential part of your grade. You are allowed a maximum of three excused (or unexcused) absences. Each absence is worth 5 points. If you use <3 for the semester, your attendance grade will be 100. If you are absent 4 or more times, each of the absences will count its five-point grade loss, so that with four absences, your attendance grade will be 80. It is YOUR responsibility to give me a doctor's or coach's note for each and every absence. This note MUST be delivered no later than the next class or the absence counts as "unexcused." The note from the coach can be similar to the following: "Mary Jones is on the softball team. She missed your class on February 4 due to her participation in a softball game in Springfield, Illinois." It MUST be signed and dated. Similarly, the physician's note must be specific. It is YOUR responsibility to get this note delivered on time. It is also your responsibility to sign in for class each day as well as to deliver ALL assignments on time.
8. Class notes: This is mostly a lecture-oriented class, but class participation is encouraged and expected. You should expect to be called upon to express your understanding. Your responses will affect your grade. Everyone should have a notebook and take appropriate notes. Exam questions will come from lectures, class discussions, and readings.
9. Reading assignments: The chapter for each lecture topic should be read before class and reviewed after class to get the full benefit.
10. Be sure to check our web folder regularly. I will communicate with you in this fashion outside of class.
Any student who feels that he or she may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the instructor to arrange an appointment at his/her earliest convenience. At that time, we can discuss the course format, anticipate your needs, and explore possible accommodations. Westminster's ADA policy can be found on the college's website for from the Learning Disability in the basement of Westminster Hall.

It's Ruby the Border Collie!! How have you been? Man, it seems like FOREVER since I've been able to blog. Actually, I think that it HAS been forever!! I mean, Missi had control of the computer for the end of March and beginning of April, and Paul our cat was using it a lot those times too. Spirit Cloude the budgie even managed to squeeze in some computer time, but not me!! Now we've got a baby calf to take care of, too!
Speaking of the baby calf, Mom finally decided on a name for her! Annie :) Took her long enough to think of one, didn't it? Well I sure like that little calf. She's pretty cute. I especially like helping Mom take care of her!! Though, Mom may deny this - she says that running around her, dropping the ball in front of her then giving her the famous "Border Collie Stare" doesn't really qualify as "helping" ... but hey, it's the best I can do!
Mom is hoping that I'll have some new pictures on my page soon ~ But I can't say that I feel the same way! I used to be pretty good for Mom, when it was photoshoot time.. but now that I've realized that whenever the camera is out, that means my ball will be thrown, I just grab my ball, drop it and go hide behind anything I can! Mom say she really doesn't understand why I hide behind stuff while I'm waiting for her to throw my ball. I told her (for like, the hundredth time) that I can't let the ball see me, I have to stalk it! She said there's no sense in that, but what does she know?
Well I suppose I have to get going .. the vet's coming in just a little while to burn Annie's horns off, so I have to finish up my blogs! I sure hope that you'll come visit me soon - I've missed visiting YOU!! Here's a vote for you, have a wonderful day n' don't forget to drop by my page!!

Come visit me, Bindi, Eddison, Ladybug, Mandy, Molly, Sunday, Wynter
Just wondering, How'd you get your name?
So i think there might have been some confusion, my bad! I didnt mean DogFancy cover dog. That would be pretty awesome though! I meant I was on DC, here, their main page yesterday. Hehe.
Have a nice evening!

Come visit me, Angel Chip *2/10/01 - 9/22/13*, Angel Mercedes, Zoey ~Goodbye Friends ♥~
Wow that's neat that you have a cousin that's a Havanese. And your cousin lives about 45 minutes from me! That's really cool. I wonder if my mom knows your Aunt being that they both own Hav's! What a small world!
I was bushwacked, shaghied and outwitted on Sunday! Mom got me and gave me a full spa/grooming treatment. She clipped me down, trimmed my paws (which actually felt good), scrapped and cleaned my teeth and then gave me a bath and blow dried me in the drying cage. Then I got a royal brush out and finishing trim. It was actually rather relaxing except for the clippers cause I don't like the noise they make. So anyhow she took pictures and posted them on my page. Can you believe that??? What am I going to do with her. I thought because it was a cold and rainy day, we would just lounge on the couch and she would read a book and I would take a nap but NO, she sat down, I jumped up and she snagged me and that was all she wrote! So now I'm a clean golden boy that smells really good! She snagged Gwen too. Then she told that puppies it was their turn tonight! They go to the vets on Wednesday for their 6 mo. rabies shots so mom wants them smelling all pretty too! We get no respect I tell you!
I think she got to much fresh air on Saturday cause her and dad were at a SASS shoot, all that fresh air and cold air must have effected her brain and thats why she's now on this "clean the dogs" campaign. And we are under a snow warning on top of that! April 23rd and we had to cover the plants last night and are waiting for the snow to fall tonight. Don't know if we will get any or even how much we will get. East of here got hit hard but the weather reports are all over the place, another example of how you don't have to know what you are talking about to be employed with the weather service! BOL
Well I hope you had a great weekend and you didn't have to have a bath! Enjoy your evening!
Your Little Buddy

Based on a 2,000 calorie dietSee full nutrition
Ready In
This is very delicious and so quick and easy to put together. Ham is very tasty and you avoid having to brown sausage instead. Love skipping a step! I added extra cheese and extra ham to ours.
Made this on Christmas Eve and baked in the morning. The only thing I'd change is using less bread next time. I used 3 large, firm steak rolls and it was too much.
This is quick and easy. I wanted a little spice so I added a can of rotel ,a little salsa. Perfect by the fire.

SeaWolves beat Aeros in 10th
AKRON, Ohio -- James McCann legged out a double to right-center to start the 10th inning.
The double started a rally as Wade Gaynor singled home McCann one batter later. It also gave the Erie SeaWolves 259 doubles this season, which ties a franchise record. Erie also hit 259 doubles in 2001 and 2011.
Gaynor's clutch hit and a solid save by Justin Souza gave Erie a tension-filled 5-4 win over the Akron Aeros on Tuesday in front of 3,609 fans at Canal Park.
"I was trying to stay inside the ball and drive something the other way," Gaynor said. "I figured they'd throw something over the plate after getting into a good count. I was able to get a good swing on it and this is a great win. We're all pretty excited and ready to clinch this thing. A win like this when we were up and they came back and tied it says a lot about this team."
Harrisburg beat Altoona 6-3, keeping Erie (72-63) a half-game back of the Senators in the Western Division. Richmond and Bowie each lost, meaning the SeaWolves' magic number to make the playoffs is down to 3 with seven games left.
"We haven't made it easy but we are a grinding bunch and the guys are playing hard," SeaWolves manager Cris Cron said. "Akron comes back to tie the game and it wasn't the best feeling in the world, but we know the game isn't over by any means. They had some momentum, but James McCann comes out and hustles for a double and Wade Gaynor with a big hit."
Erie jumped to a 4-0 lead in the first two innings as Jamie Johnson crushed a three-run home run in the second. Johnson finished 3-for-5, including his 99th walk, a franchise single-season record.
He also had three RBIs and scored two runs.
"We have the capability to always create offense and we have to score runs," Cron said. "Who would have drawn up J.J. (Johnson) hitting a three-run shot? We don't win in normal ways but we'll take it any way we can get it."
Akron (64-71) used a three-run seventh inning to tie the game, including an RBI double by Matt Lawson and a two-out, two-run single by Chris Wallace.
Ramon Garcia was given a tough no-decision after being solid through six innings. He was chased in the seventh, going 61/3 innings, allowing four runs on five hits after a big Akron inning.
Will Startup and Tyler Stohr were both effective before Souza closed the door.
TOM REISENWEBER can be reached at 870-1707 or by e-mail. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/ETNreisenweber. Read the Extra Innings blog at GoErie.com/blogs/extrainnings and post comments.
Notes: Erie shortstop Eugenio Suarez missed his second straight game Tuesday with an ankle injury. He rolled his ankle Sunday in Harrisburg and hasn't played the past two days.

Is President Barack Obama really standing up for the middle class?
Have the living standards of the middle class improved in the past four years? Obama said recently at a campaign rally, "I'm here to fight for you and for all Americans in the middle class."
Really? Is that true?
On the same day, the Labor Department reported that since Obama was inaugurated, middle-class household income has dropped approximately $3,000 a year, or 8.2 percent.
In addition, cumulative inflation is 11 percent, which means the American middle class has witnessed the largest drop of spending power and income since Herbert Hoover was president. Obama is attempting to pull off a bait and switch by claiming he is for something when his policies are against it.
Lucky for the Canadians, Stephen Harper did not listen to the same economic advisers Obama did. Canadian middle-class income, since Obama was inaugurated, has gone up, including adjustment for inflation. Mitt Romney advocates the same policies and they will work here.

Your enthusiasm for what is to come can invigorate you today, yet you may be frustrated by a lack of prospects related to your long term goals. While you may be more than ready to push ahead where your ambitions are concerned, a lack of apparent opportunities can make it seem as if you are walking a dead end path. It is more likely, however, that you have simply not yet opened your eyes to the myriad prospects waiting for your attention. Your eagerness and confidence can help you accomplish your aims today if you believe that change is possible and are unafraid to tap into your creative mind.
We tend to know when we are ready to take our efforts to the next level because we not only feel comfortable with our current state of being, but are also eager to experience something more. It may be that we even feel a little bored with the responsibilities we are shouldering in the present because we have learned to address them automatically. Yet if no opportunities to take on more tasks or to change our approach to work present themselves, we can still challenge ourselves by striving to be more creative in the application of our efforts. If we channel our imaginative energy into our actions, we will stumble upon ways we can innovate to add interest to the obligations that are already ours to address. Your readiness to push ahead with your projects today can help you make your existence more engaging than ever before.

THE GLYCEMIC INDEX HAS BEEN AROUND for some 25 years, though its appeal has only recently grown beyond those who use it for medical reasons. The system was originally developed to help diabetics and others with carb-sensitive conditions more accurately monitor and control their blood glucose levels. More recently, low-carb dieters searching for a more sophisticated way to manage weight loss were attracted to the GI. Ditto the rise of long-distance athletics, where competitors were looking ...

About This Activity
Learn the skills to get faster guaranteed! With over 20 years of coaching experience including 12 years coaching downhill mountain biking Gene knows out to get you riding at your best. His coaching highlights include coaching many top pro racers (Chris Van Dine, Mitch Ropelato, Joey Schusler, Bryson Martin, Brian Buell, Graeme Pitts, Chris Canfield, Naish Ulmer…) as well as hundreds of riders and racers of all levels looking to reach their best. This comprehensive 3 day camp will help you with both the mental and physical sides of downhill mountain biking. The goal is to help you reach your potential by teaching you the core skills of mountain biking and the drills to master these skills. These are the non-intuitive skills that still eluded Gene after 15 years of riding and kept him from reaching his potential. Learning and becoming proficient at these skills will allow you to ride in balance and in control making you a more efficient and confident rider. Dirt Magazine to 2009 Pro 4x and Jr. Cat 1 Downhill US National Champion Mitch Ropelato in a interview in the Oct. 2009 issue: "You seem to be able to turn amazingly, what do you put that down to? Got any special tires on there? Mitch Ropelato: "Ya, Gene Hamilton is to thank for that, I took is clinic last December in Bootleg Canyon and he was able to show me the correct technique I needed to pull them off." What you will learn: The core, fundamental skills of downhill mountain bike racing (these core skills are not intuitive, unless someone taught you them it is unlikely that would know and understand them. Few US racers know the core skills and even fewer can do them well (which is the main reason we do poorly at the international level) (I didn't learn many of these skills until my sixth through tenth seasons as a pro racer). I really get the rider to understand these techniques with drills (that you take home with you for further practice and improvement) and then on trail application of the skills. For more information on this camp and others visit http://BetterRide.net and be sure to check out our student reviews section to see what other riders have to say about our camps.

Prospect Heights is a neighborhood in the northwest part of Brooklyn, New York. The traditional boundaries are Flatbush Avenue to the west, Atlantic Avenue to the north, Eastern Parkway – beginning at Grand Army Plaza – to the south, and Washington Avenue to the east. Compared to other Brooklyn neighborhoods, Prospect Heights is relatively small but is well known for its tree-lined streets, historic buildings and outstanding train access to Manhattan. Prospect Heights has seen rapid changes with the housing stock now offering a combination of older prewar buildings, classic turn-of-the-century brownstone renovations, and newly built luxury condominiums.
The central portion of the neighborhood consists mostly of brownstone-style residential rowhouse buildings, some built as early as 1890 with some blocks such as Lincoln and St. Johns Place between Underhill and Washington Avenues, include larger multi-unit apartment buildings. A number of new condominium developments are also under construction in many parts of the neighborhood including 904 Pacific Street and 591 Washington Avenue. Old school bakeries and factory spaces line Pacific Street from Vanderbilt Avenue to Carlton Avenue with some of those properties being renovated and converted into residential lofts.
Prospect Heights is a neighborhood where natural and cultural attractions flourish.
Along the southern boundary, Eastern Parkway, from Grand Army Plaza to Washington Avenue, luxurious buildings line the north side of the parkway, and the south side features the Brooklyn Public Library, Mount Prospect Park (the second highest point in Brooklyn), the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum. The Barclays Center, home to the NBA's Brooklyn Nets basketball team, is located in the northwestern corner of the neighborhood at Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues. The Vanderbilt, designed with the casual comfort of a neighborhood hangout, features seasonally-inspired New American bar fare and emphasizes seasonal, local, and quality ingredients. Piquant on Flatbush Ave. brings a unique flavor and catering to Brooklyn with modern cuisine of the American Southwest. Check out The Beared Lady on Washington Ave. for incredibly unique cocktails, a great beer selection and raw bar. Located at the northwest entrance to beautiful Prospect Park, Grand Army Plaza is Greenmarket's flagship Brooklyn market, and the second largest market in the program, behind Union Square. This community destination allows residents to buy from the vast assortment of farm fresh products, and to participate in programming and cooking demonstrations that take place every Saturday all year long.

Scientists attributed the increase to the high fat diet of many British men.
"We think the obesity epidemic may be a big reason behind the increase. We know that being overweight significantly increases the risk of adenocarcinoma -- the main type of oesophageal cancer that's on the up," said Janusz Jankowski of Barts & The London School of Medicine & Dentistry, whose research was backed by the charity.
"Our changing diets are also likely to be influencing the rise, with people eating less fruit and vegetables," Jankowski told Reuters.
Only 8 percent of people diagnosed with esophageal cancer in Britain survive for more than five years.

Wednesday, September 5, 2012
In my eighth grade technology class, a friend gave me a Livestrong bracelet. Like most of my classmates, we didn't really understand the gravity of the cause it supported. Frankly, it was a cool thing to wear around your wrist.
Lance Armstrong seemed invincible, beating cancer and continually beating a field of the world's best cyclists in the Tour de France. The recent lifetime ban and removal of his seven titles doesn't change the fact that the Lance Armstrong Foundation has raised nearly half-a-billion dollars for cancer research and support.
But, it does change his public perception, and what's most crippling is the children he let down. Surprisingly, he gave up fighting allegations he took performance-enhancing substances, subsequently accepting the harsh levies against him. Forfeit was something no one thought was in Armstrong's vocabulary.
The most recent athlete-to-idolizer letdown is just another episode in this culture's depressing show stuck on reruns. The television show was once riveting, and we hung on every success and failure. Now it's just mundane, and we've come to expect this kind of behavior.
This doesn't mean the idea of children having role models is extinct. It just means we should be careful who we put all our trust in. We should be paying more attention to the people who say, 'Don't talk to strangers.' Lance Armstrong is a stranger to me. Was it smart or dangerous to consider him one of my childhood heroes?
When athletes feel tangible to the public, it's a sign of good sports media. That's what I strive to do. But, in that realization, we forget that athletes are just people too. We stop at the quote reminding us of something a crazy uncle would say, yet we hold them to higher standards than that crazy uncle.
Uncle Jerry got drunk this weekend? Ha, that's funny.
That famous athlete got drunk this weekend? How irresponsible.
Some drive nicer cars and some can't go to Dairy Queen without getting asked for autographs, but they're just people. And if I want to put my faith in an ordinary person, I have better candidates for my heroes.
Because Armstrong made cancer a fight involving more than himself, those Tour de France victories belonged to us too.
It's easier to vilify Barry Bonds, the cocky baseball player whose alleged steroid use was much more noticeable than the lean Lance who underwent chemotherapy for testicular cancer. But, in the cutthroat world of sports, he's a cheater too.
Growing up a basketball fan in North Carolina, it was easy to label Michael Jordan as a personal hero, although I'm not sure which I was a fan of first: Jordan or basketball. His Airness was probably the reason I came to love the game in the first place. So many kids are like that: the athlete, not the game, draws them in.
Pair Tiger Woods in that equation. Both superstar's public lives came under scrutiny for marriage infidelity. When those heroes fail the kids that look up to them, they risk damaging the entire sport. But that's not their fault. When professional athletes are given multi-million dollar contracts and even bigger endorsement deals, the sport isn't purely a game anymore.
More than a decade ago, I was in a grocery store checkout line. I remember seeing tabloid magazines blasting Jordan for cheating on his wife. His alleged mistress was on all the covers offering statements that didn't match up with the Space Jam star - playing himself - that I felt like I knew.
Every kid wanted to wear a No. 23 jersey. I grew up in the same town as he did and frequently drove by his old house. Several times practicing in my driveway, I tried to force myself to dribble with my tongue sticking out the side of my mouth. He's the reason why I hung up a miniature basketball goal on my bedroom door to practice slam dunks for when I thought I could also sign endorsement deals. I wanted to be the next great to come out of Wilmington.
When you're younger, first days of school are all the same. You answer a few generic questions about yourself in front of the entire class, and one of them most always is: 'Who is your hero?' You're supposed to call out a celebrity that has accomplished the very aspirations you currently have. But, that shouldn't be. Blinded by my obsession for a third-party hero, I put all my faith in a stranger - a man who betrayed the trust of his own wife and a man who was rumored to be having gambling problems. One of my heroes was in that grocery store checkout line that day, but not on a magazine cover. The person who tolerated my bedroom basketball games, which resulted in more than a few broken vases and lamps, was right next to me.
The person who drove me to practices and games, making sure that I was as early as I wanted to be, was right next to me. The person who always had dinner ready when I came inside after hours of playing in the driveway was right next to me.
I missed the realization of it then, but I don't now: my mother is one of my heroes. The other is my father, who still gripes about missing a game or two of mine when he had pneumonia. He knows the exact number of games he missed; I don't, which is telling of his commitment. Of the half dozen kids I grew up playing sports with, my dad easily won the parent's attendance award. I don't care how many games he missed, although I'm sure I could count them on one hand, because he was always there.
As you grow up, you go through phases of wanting to be with your parents all the time, then being too cool to have them pick you up in front of school, and then you come back to wanting to be with them. As they made my aspirations their own, bouncing from gym to gym, they've now become the next extension of the Moultrie News coverage area 180 miles away.
They won't let me down.

Dear Dr. Gott: Is there a medical condition that causes people to be grouchy when they are hungry? My 21-year-old son-in-law is always grouchy in the morning until after he eats breakfast. He also gets grouchy later in the day unless he eats as soon as he is hungry.
Our daughter says he inherited this from his father and, since it is caused by a medical condition, he can't help it. She feels we should ignore his belligerence and quick temper.
My wife and I believe he needs an attitude adjustment.
Dear Reader: Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a rare medical disorder that causes faintness, tremulousness, malaise and hunger that usually occur two to three hours after a meal. While I doubt that this is your son-in-law's problem, it should be checked out with appropriate medical intervention that includes blood tests.
On the other hand, some healthy people do become irritable when they are hungry. This is, however, no excuse to be unpleasant to others. Thus, I agree that your son-in-law needs an attitude adjustment, in addition to medical intervention.
Don't let him play the "victim game" by claiming that he "inherited" the condition, can't control it and is justified in making everyone around him miserable. This is nuts. So what if he feels grouchy because his breakfast is late? Big deal.
Don't ignore your son-in-law's actions.
Show him my answer to your question - after he has had a big meal.
To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my health report "Hypoglycemia." Other readers who would like a copy should send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.

I had my boat checked out in a other shop they told me the engine is defective and needs a total rebuilt. I called PCS to get a second opinion and after talking to Tom for a while and explaining the history of the problem he told me that he doubts that the engine needs a rebuilt but he could not tell for sure at this time and he didn't want to give me falls hope he said i will know for sure after a complete diagnostic. But in case the other shop is wright his estimate was way lower to rebuilt the engine that the one which was given to me by the other shop the parts where almost double than what PCS quoted. I picked up my boat and brought it to PCS they called me 2 days later and told me that the engine was mechanically ok and there is no rebuilt required the engine doesn't run wright because cap and rotor are worn out that's it. I couldn't believe this i would have paid 11k to re-power my boat with the other shop and the motor is not even damaged with these guys i paid $367 total and the boat runs great. Thanks so much for being honest and for your excellent service my boat found its new home. Thanks Nick

I found you through Craig's List and learned about your interest in sailing from your website. Then many months ago, I called for your help with some small items on my boat. It was very good fortune that you did so much more for her by bringing her to your shop. She is now safe and sound, whereas before, she was not so safe and sound despite her nice external appearance. Thank you for your education in thorough attention to the safety of all systems. You turned my old Universal 5411 from the brink of disaster to a reliable, effective motor, and you found and repaired the faults in her hull below the waterline so that she is safely ready for her next 30 years of sailing. Thank you for such professional and knowledgeable attention. Thanks also for allowing me to participate in the work. It has been more than a pleasure to get to know you and Mark while learning so much from you.

When looking for mechanics to help me restore this boat no one cared much to help because of the condition the boat was in. I could see the beauty in it but it seemed no one else could. After about a year of looking I found PCS Marine on the internet. The owner called me back immediately after my initial phone call. He came out personally to the slip where I am keeping the boat, "which is miles away from his shop", surveyed it, and saw the beauty in it that I did. He went back to his shop and researched the boat to make sure it was worth putting my money into. He then worked up a very reasonable quote for my requests and compared the outcome to the value of the boat. After a very thorough job of rewiring the entire boat, cutting all the dry rot out of the floor of the boat, replacing floor stringers, installing a new sub floor and install a teak finish floor, repair a poorly done patch in the hull to perfection, re glassed the transom, rebuilt the outdrive, cleaned, painted, tuned the motor along with a new distributor and wiring. Installed new exhaust manifolds, then walked me through how to restore the exterior of the boat. The work was done as if they were working on their own boat. After a wonderful test ride from his shop back to marina where I keep the boat I am the proud owner of a very beautiful and seaworthy vessel. I have had many compliments since. I highly recommend PCS for ANY of your boat needs

Last season, my success rate was pretty solid on these statements, so to make sure I increase on my hit rate, this season's edition is going to be full of "Kevin Durant will have a 20-point game at some point" and "Serge Ibaka will block some shots." I'm feeling pretty good about them.
This is probably the most uncertainty the Thunder have faced entering a season since last season, when they traded James Harden basically a year ago exactly. So what I'm saying here is, uncertainty is really nothing new. The Thunder have two constants — Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook — and because of that you can be certain of at least one thing: They're going to be pretty good. The question is how good and by that, are they good enough, and for that answer those variables about things like the bench and supplementary scoring and such come into play.
So here we go again. Thirty-five statements made with the confidence of 10 Russell Westbrook transition pull-up jumpers.
1. Kevin Durant will restore order and win his fourth scoring title. The combination of Carmelo Anthony's ridiculous scoring run with the Thunder's tendency to blow teams out conspired to dethrone Durant from his perch as the league's premier scorer, but the opposite might be taking place this season. No Russell Westbrook for a month combined with the Thunder potentially not being quite so dominant could result in some ridiculous numbers for KD.
2. KD will average at least five assists a game. Really, the biggest thing that could stop Durant from leading the league in scoring is probably himself. Durant has taken more and more of an interest in expanding his game towards being more of a distributor, which has been excellent for the Thunder. And without Westbrook, Durant may actually look to pass more, in an effort to distribute the scoring load to others rather than picking up the difference himself. Plus, KD's just get better in a whole lot of ways, one of the most obvious things being his ability to pass and create.
3. The Thunder will break their losing streak against the Heat. As it stands, OKC has lost six straight to the Heat, going back to the 2012 Finals. The Thunder get another two cracks this regular season, with the first coming in Miami Jan. 29. Whether it's that one, or the one in OKC, the Thunder are going to snap out of their funk against the LeBrons.
4. The Thunder will again produce two All-Stars. It's a little bit dicey this season since Westbrook doesn't have the buffer of being voted in by fans, but assuming there aren't any setbacks, if he performs at a level anywhere near what we're accustomed to, he'll join Durant in New Orleans. I almost went with the Thunder having three All-Stars, but I'm not quite sold on Steven Adams seeing enough minutes for that.
5. Russell Westbrook will return Dec. 1 against the Timberwolves. That's basically exactly four weeks, putting Westbrook's return at the earliest of his 4-6 week timetable. Why this game? I don't know. It could be Dec. 8 against the Pacers, or Dec. 13 against the Lakers or Dec. 15 against the Magic. I'm just pretty certain it'll be a home game, because that's how it should be.
6. For the first month of the season, KD will average 34 points a game. In the nine games last postseason without Westbrook, KD averaged 31.7 per game, and that was in a limited offensive system against extremely good competition. Durant was essentially doubled and tripled every game and often scored 1-on-5. So give him a month of games that includes nights against lottery teams, and he could have multiple nights of 40-plus. Again, I think there's a chance this could go the other way and Durant averages something like 25 a game but with seven or eight assists, but if the team struggles at all with that approach, KD's natural born scorer instinct will kick in and take over.
7. Jeremy Lamb will average double-figures. I'm not saying it's going to be 15 points a game, but right at 10 seems possible to me. His last four preseason games — games in which he didn't even play all that especially well, outside of the last one — he averaged 14.8 points, on 43.4 percent shooting. He averaged 33 minutes a game in those four, and there's no chance he sees that much time throughout the season, but assuming he plays between 25-30, I think he can put up consistent nights of 8-12 points. Which would be very solid.
8. The Thunder will wrap up the Northwest before April. I'm not saying this as a way to predict an incredible season from OKC. It's more an indictment on the weakness of the Northwest. The Timberwolves appear to be the only reasonable threat to make it interest and I suppose the Nuggets could exceed expectations, but assuming OKC wins more than 55, they could win the division by at least 10 games.
9. The Thunder will finish top three in technical fouls. Between Durant, Westbrook and Perkins last season, the Thunder had three players in the top 10 in techs. Expect more of the same this season.
10. Serge Ibaka will record 25 double-doubles. I had him putting up 25 last season and he let me down with just 15. But this season things will be different.
11. Ibaka will shoot 60 percent from the field. Ibaka shot 57.3 percent last season, good for fourth in the league. He's going to probably take more shots this season as he evolves into a more assertive, aggressive offensive player, which means his percentages could dip, but with what we saw in the preseason with his face-up game and ability to score a little more in the paint, Ibaka could have a monster offensive year in store.
12. The Thunder will make a semi-significant trade at the deadline. I'm thinking it involves Perry Jones III and the Mavs' first-rounder for a quality veteran expiring contract, but Perk could be on the block if Adams proves he's capable of filling that role, primarily defensively. Or, maybe it's Thabo Sefolosha, who's on an expiring deal. The Thunder are going to avoid going over the luxury tax like the plague this season, so as to avoid a year toward the repeater tax, but if there's a deadline need, I think Sam Presti's going to try and address it while still minding the finances.
13. KD will go 50-40-90 again. His exact percentages: 52.5-41.7-90.4. Book it.
14. Derek Fisher will lead the league in leadership and intangibles. Probably while also averaging 15 minutes a game. Sigh.
15. Steven Adams will appear in at least 70 games. I think it's obvious he at least should be the backup center, and conceivably, the starter at some point in the near future. Assuming Adams continues to his upwards trajectory, the situation could be that he and Perk kind of split the starter minutes 20-20 with the rest going to Collison/Ibaka, but I think the point is, he needs to see the floor.
16. Adams will also grow a bushy mustache and endear himself to Thunder fans to the point people are saying things like, "I wouldn't trade Adams back for James Harden. Really, I wouldn't." I can dream, right?
17. KD will record five triple-doubles. He had three last season and six others where he was only a couple rebounds or assists away from more.
18. Reggie Jackson will win Sixth Man of the Year. I'm saying some fairly wild things in here, but this one is maybe the most far-fetched. But I believe it. Look at it this way: Jackson will have a month, and maybe more, to play as the Thunder's starter seeing somewhere between 33 and 38 minutes a game. In the postseason as a starter, he averaged 15.3 points, 3.7 assists and 5.0 rebounds a game. And that was starting the first games ever in his career with them coming in the playoffs. So for the opening month, Jackson could put up those numbers — or better — and then take over as OKC's true sixth man once Westbrook returns and run the second unit as a poor man's Harden. I can picture numbers like 14-5-4 for Jackson this season and if he can have a few high-profile impactful games, he may create enough buzz to pull it off.
19. The Thunder will play 82 games, 41 of them at home and the other 41 on the road. Just trying to get back on track here.
20. Westbrook will have his best season yet. It won't be a full one, but in terms of production and numbers, Westbrook is set up to play his best basketball. I think sitting out and watching is going to do him a lot of good and help him understand offense and his teammates better. His points per game may dip, but I think he'll be more efficient and he'll be a much better distributor.
21. Nick Collison will make an All-Defense team. OK, he won't. But he should.
22. Perk will record one double-double. He didn't have a single one last season. I think he's going to break through this year.
23. Adams will finish with more double-doubles than Perk. It might only take one to do it, so it's not like this is the craziest thing, but Adams has shown he can inhale rebounds in bulk and finish well around the rim. Three or four on the season seems doable.
24. The Thunder will finish bottom 10 in 3-pointers made. They made only a handful in the preseason and the percentage was so terrible that I didn't want to look it up to know exactly how bad it was. But other than KD, the Thunder don't have a knockdown 3-point shooter on the roster. Thabo has shot 40 percent the last two seasons, but he's a selective shooter. Lamb is unproven. Jackson is mediocre. So is Westbrook. This could be a problem.
25. Derek Fisher will induce 72 facepalms. Most being at the moment he runs the scoretable to check in.
26. Fisher will hit at least five big shots that will make you say, "I never doubted that guy!" Preferably these will come in the postseason.
27. Andre Roberson will be sent to the D-League and then called back up again 297 times. Rough estimate.
28. The Thunder will take a step forward in defensive efficiency, but a step back in offensive efficiency. The Thunder finished second in offensive efficiency averaging 110.2 per 100 possessions and tied for third in defensive at 99.2. They might flip-flop those rankings this season.
29. Perk will be called for 600 illegal screens. If that's truly going to remain a point of emphasis, he may foul out in the first quarter of every game this season.
30. The Thunder won't lead the league in margin of victory again. OKC's margin of victory was slightly obscene last season at +9.2 a game, but this year, it'll probably come back down to a more pedestrian 5-6 a game. I'm thinking the Thunder will have more close games this season.
31. KD will finally win MVP. OK. This year, this is the year. He's going to set the tone early by putting up stupid numbers in November and with the Thunder maintaining and winning at a solid clip, he'll build that necessary buzz in February and March to finally get it done. Plus, it's just his turn. Come on LeBron. Didn't you go to kindergarten?
32. The Thunder will win 56 games. With Westbrook healthy from the jump, I had them at 58 and the No. 1 seed in the West. But Westbrook's quite important and while the Thunder are much better prepared this time around than they were in the postseason, not having a top five player on the floor still has some impact.
33. The Thunder will get the No. 2 seed in the West. The top of the West always comes down to a game or two you shouldn't have lost and without Westbrook, the Thunder are going to have a couple of those games they shouldn't have lost.
34. The Thunder will return to the Finals. So I was filling out a Western Conference playoff bracket and every way I shook the thing out, I kept ending up with OKC in the Finals. The Clippers look dangerous, but do you really believe in the Clippers? Or the Rockets? Or the Warriors? The Spurs will Spur and the Grizzlies are always tough, but match the Thunder with a healthy Westbrook up against any of those teams in a seven-game series and who are you taking? For all the perceived issues and questions the Thunder have and need to solve, they have the two best players in the West on the same team. That seems important.
35. The Thunder will lose in six games to the Bulls. That's right. The Bulls are my title pick. I don't know how it happened and I don't like it at all. But 3-peating is so difficult and you look at the Heat's two championships, a lot went right to make those happen, specifically last season's. The Bulls are built ready-made to beat Miami and if Dwyane Wade has another spell of being 70 percent in the postseason, Chicago won't be so forgiving. A Thunder-Bulls Finals would be a total toss-up, and picking OKC to win a title, especially this season, feels strange.

Few diagnoses set the medical house officer's (or attending's) diagnostic juices flowing like "vasculitis." After all, this is the stuff that clinicopathologic conferences are made of. Vasculitis can appear in the differential diagnosis of virtually any type of organ failure; the murkier the picture, the more likely is the diagnosis to appear. Paradoxically, the vasculitides seem to paralyze the clinician with regard to choosing diagnostic tests, determining the need for immediate steroid or cytotoxic therapy, and deciding the specific illness. The Churgs' multi-author text takes up the gauntlet of updating several texts on the vasculitides written around 1980 and tries

The emaciated dog wondered into an Ace Hardware store on Friday, and Detroit Animal Control officers picked him up a short time later.
A rescue group wants to provide "Ace" with immediate medical care, but state law and city policy are standing the way of action that may save the dog's life.
"It is considered a shelter-to-shelter rescue," said a representative from K9 Strays. "We want to take care of his medical needs. Whatever it needs. This would relieve (the city) of the responsibility. We would take responsibility."
Detroit Animal Control has an agreement in place to transfer adoptable animals to the Michigan Humane Society after a state-required four-day waiting period, but a council liason said DAC does not consider pit bulls an adoptable breed and is scheduled to put the dog down.
More than 4,000 people have joined the "Save Ace" group on Facebook, and several advocates joined the rescue group today at City Hall. Their testimony appeared to move City Council President Charles Pugh, who called for a swift resolution allowing the city to transfer "Ace" and any liability to the rescue group later today.
"We don't want our policy to get in the way of the dog's life," Pugh said. "If we can save the dog, then let's save the dog."
Council is expected to vote on a resolution during today's session and members said they'd like to re-examine the pit bull policy at a later date.
