MONTGOMERY - Muncy's Scott Appleman walked out of the Indians' locker room on Friday night with a limp while carrying his pads and helmet.
Appleman and his teammates expected the latest edition of the Old Shoe Trophy game to be another walk in the park and to come with few bumps and bruises - and why not? The trophy has been in possession of Muncy's hands since 2005 and his rivals had fallen on hard times, losing 17 consecutive games, including a pair of losses to start this season by a combined 81 points.
This Old Shoe Trophy game, however, had Montgomery fans chanting "We want the shoe," deep into the second half last night with a purpose. The Red Raiders were no walkthrough for the Indians Friday night.
Despite a lackluster effort, though, the Indians moved to 3-0 with a 19-6 victory to retain the upperhand in the series and keep the trophy in Muncy for another year.
"It's one of those games that maybe we were looking by and looking at Warrior Run and looking at Southern," Muncy coach Jay Drumheller said. "They were ready to play and we weren't. Bottom line is they are high school kids and you never know what they are thinking."
Muncy's night began by mishandling the opening kickoff out of bounds and fumbling the ball away on its second play from scrimmage. Two plays later, Montgomery's Kobe Galentine bulled his way into the end zone from 2 yards out and the Red Raiders (0-3, 0-2 HAC-III) had reason to believe the recent story of this rivalry had a chance to turn just 53 seconds into the game.
Instead of just a hiccup for the Muncy offense, the opening series turned into a preview of things to come. Montgomery kept turning away the Indians, forcing punts and holding Muncy on downs when the Indians did advance into Montgomery territory. Montgomery's one score lead held after one quarter and to the half, despite the Red Raiders' offense accumulated just two first downs - one by penalty and both on the same drive.
The Montgomery lead finally vanished in the early stages in the second half after Muncy forced a three-and-out and drove 80 yards for the go-ahead score. Dakota Nixon accounted for 55 yards on one run and eventually set up a quarterback sneak by backup quarterback Eli Warnick.
Montgomery's offense, which was limited to just 10 total yards, didn't a convert a first down in the second half. The Red Raiders attempted just six passes and completed two - both swing passes - for minus-3 yards.
Despite their inability to move the ball offensively, the Red Raiders were left with hope because of the play of Zach Woodcock and the defense. Woodcock, listed at 5-foot-8 and 146 pounds, played nose guard for the Red Raiders and consistently blew up plays in the backfield, at times not allowing Muncy quarterback Anthony Barberio time to hand the ball off. His effort was contagious.
"They came to play and they sold out," Drumheller said. "They were prepared and I give them all the credit in the world."
"Our defense played with intensity and everything we needed from them we got out of them," Montgomery coach Tom Persing said. "They gave us everything they have and we couldn't have asked for more.
"We're undersized everywhere we go, but I told them tonight they proved they can play with a bigger team physically."
Montgomery's defense, though, had very little room for error and finally succumbed to the Muncy offense by allowing a pair of Barberio to Ken Koch touchdown passes in the fourth quarter.
The first Barberio to Koch connection went for 45 yards and came a series after the Indians had their first of two touchdowns called back because of penalties.
Koch's second TD reception came on a fourth-and-4 play from the 10 that gave the Indians a 19-6 lead with 1:41 to play. Barberio kept the drive alive earlier in the possession by avoiding a sack and finding Koch for an 18-yard reception on third-and-12 from the 49.
"Some people throw it away or get down or whatever, but when you have a quarterback that is big and strong, he's hard to bring down and he uses his size and athleticism," Drumheller said. "As much as a coach you tell him the thing you want him to do is maybe throw the ball away, he made a play - like Tebow style. That is all I can say."
Koch finished with 73 yards on three catches and Barberio overcame a tough night by finishing with 110 yards and two touchdowns despite completing 8 of 20 passes.
Nixon turned his 55-yard run into a 12 carry, 89-yard performance and Teddy Clark added 63 yards on six carries.
Appleman, who was needed deep into the fourth quarter, helped make one of the game's biggest stops. With Montgomery facing a fourth-and-1 from its own 47, Appleman rushed on the field and helped Muncy's defensive line hold the line of scrimmage and turn away a quarterback sneak attempt by Zack Shadle. Five minutes later, Muncy finally went up by two scores and could exhale for the first time.
The Indians face a similar situation next week when they travel to winless Warrior Run. Drumheller and his coaching staff put out the warning that next week's game could have harsher consequences should the Indians not learn their lesson from last night.
"We've learned not to overlook a team and play our hardest," Koch said, moments after mentioning Montgomery's 29-0 loss to Cowanesque Valley and Muncy's 43-13 win over the same team as a reason Muncy may have overlooked its rival.

Program Requirements | Plan of Study | Course Descriptions
The MBA program prepares students for executive decision making in dynamic business environments. The MBA program is designed with a high degree of flexibility so that graduate students can use electives to prepare themselves to meet their specific career goals and aspirations. Graduate students have an opportunity to broaden personal perspectives and sharpen management skills without interrupting their professional careers. Core requirements of the MBA program are not directed at specialization in one area of business; instead, they develop cross-functional frameworks that stress balance in using managerial skills to achieve effective leadership.
Graduate programs in the Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business prepare students for executive decision making in dynamic business environments. Students build skill in decision making through a combination of coursework, experiential requirements, and skill-building exercises and simulations. Innovative delivery of courses gives students expertise in the functional areas of business.
In addition to building expertise in the functional areas of business, students completing graduate programs in the Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business are required to demonstrate mastery in the following competency areas:
The program requires 39 credit hours for completion. There are five program requirements: foundations, three modules, and an elective block. All core courses are delivered in a blended format, meaning that courses use a combination of classroom, online, project-based and experiential components. In the classroom, courses may use a combination of learning methods, such as: lecture, case study, or in-class projects.
Module 1 contains courses that should be taken at the beginning of the MBA program; courses in this module introduce the model of the entire program. While taking module 1 courses, students and their advisors will work together to complete a program of study and to plan out elective courses and/or graduate certificates to meet the students individual career goals.
Module 2 and elective courses may be taken as early as desired upon completion of prerequisites. Module 3 should only be taken upon completion of all core required courses as it serves as the capstone for the core program.
MBA/MBATM International Context Tour Policy. The MBA/MBATM International Context Tour is required for graduation, and can be taken after the student has completed at least 25 credit hours. Trip participants are required to adhere to the policies and procedures outlined in the MBA/MBATM International Context Tour Handbook.
A maximum of 9 approved graduate hours may be transferred toward the MBA Program from other professionally accredited institutions (AACSB or ACBSP) upon the written permission of the program director. Courses eligible for transfer are only those that contribute to, or build upon, the program goals. Courses completed at other graduate institutions must be awarded a minimum grade of B to be eligible for credit.
A grade of C is the lowest passing grade for all MBA and graduate certificate courses.
Students who have not studied business at the undergraduate level, or who completed their undergraduate studies more than five years ago, may be required to complete foundational literacy courses. Upon meeting with MBA program advisors, the students educational and professional backgrounds are reviewed to determine what foundational literacy courses may be required. Students without sufficient academic preparation in one or more of these foundation literacy subject areas will be required to complete 500-level short courses and pass a literacy test in the needed subject areas. Students will be notified at the time of admission which of the literacy short courses will be required of them, based upon the review of their transcripts. All of these short courses are typically completed during the first semester of study in addition to selected regular MBA classes.

A first-ever analysis of the environmental laws across all 14 of the UK's Overseas Territories has been published and presented to the Government today [Tuesday 12 March].
The report, commissioned by the RSPB, reveals serious flaws in the legislation that should protect some of the most important places for UK wildlife.
Our assessment comes just nine months after the Government published its Overseas Territories White Paper last June. In it, the Prime Minister pledged to 'cherish the environments' and 'help ensure their good government'.
The UK's Overseas Territories hold some of the world's most remarkable environments, from pristine tropical forests like on Grand Cayman, to windswept South Atlantic islands, home to penguins and elephant seals, as well as over 90% of the threatened wildlife for which the UK is responsible.
In the new assessment, entitled 'Environmental Governance in the UK's Overseas Territories, a number of major gaps in environmental protection are exposed:
However, there are at least five draft bills (e.g. the Cayman National Conservation Bill 2007, the Anguilla Physical Planning Bill 2001) currently in Overseas Territories' legislatures that would fill many of the gaps in their environmental legislation, but all have been stalled due to a lack of political will.
Tim Stowe, the RSPB's Director of International Operations, said: "Whilst some of the UK's Overseas Territories such as Gibraltar have excellent environmental legislation, the gaps uncovered in this analysis are worrying and have the potential to allow damage to the environments and wildlife we are responsible for protecting.
"We hope this review will encourage the UK Government to fulfil its ambitions 'to set world standards' in the Overseas Territories and begin a programme of work to strengthen the most pressing gaps in their environmental laws. Major improvements are within reach and much can be achieved without significant additional resources."
The report offers seven recommendations to help the Prime Minister realise his ambitions on Overseas Territories. Although the report has found a number of gaps in environmental governance, it has also discovered that some of the UK's Territories are beacons of best practice in terms of environmental legislation. Gibraltar's environmental legislation was rated as 'strong' across the board, whilst the site protection mechanisms of the British Virgin Islands, and development control procedures in St Helena, were also very good.
Our report, written in conjunction with the Foundation for International Environmental Law & Development (FIELD), has been designed to offer a full and unprecedented analysis of environmental protection legislation and policy across all the 14 OTs the UK has responsibility for. We plan a follow-up report in 2015 to measure progress.

It is unfortunate that Mr. Channaveer's parents were denied boarding, and that he and his wife decided not to take their cruise. It is important for all travelers to remember that having the correct documentation, including visas, is an important part of the vacation planning process.
So I guess that's a "no" on the refund, then?
I'm really bothered by these cases, because they seem to happen with such frequency. On Channaveer's cruise, two other families from the Philippines were also denied boarding because of paperwork issues. There must be a better answer than, "Buy travel insurance." And you'd think cruise lines would figure out a more efficient way of communicating these very important paperwork requirements, right?
I ran RCCL's answer past Channaveer, who told me the company was "totally wrong" about its records. "I have the phone records from AT&T showing I called them right after I made the ticket purchase specially to ask about the visa question," he told me. "And I was mislead and I dont know the name of the person I talked to, nor do I have any recording of it."
Also, Channaveer checked in online and offered all of the passport numbers of his party. Wouldn't that raise some kind of red flags with RCCL, prompting it to notify him of the problem?
Another sunk cruise. And sadly, another case dismissed.

T & S Seafood Restaurant
We had a most wonderful dimsum lunch today at T&S Seafood Restaurant. It was in December 2007 when I first posted an entry on T&S. I revisited that entry and I found it kinda funny to realize that we feasted on practically the same variety of dimsum. Just in case you get curious, you can find that entry HERE.
Here's what we had for lunch…
Shrimp Wrapped in Egg Noodle
Turnip Cakes
Chicken Feet (Did I just hear somebody say "Eeeew!"?)
Shrimp with Mushroom
Shrimp with Scallop (Obviously, we love shrimps!)
Fried Taro Puff
Egg Custards for dessert
a bowl of Tofu with Caramel Syrup (taho as we call it in the Philippines) for Abby
Oooh la la!
How about another "ooh la la"? Hee hee.
I love it when Abby eats with gusto. As for me, I've lost count how many times I said "Uhhhhmmmm" during lunch. We just absolutely love dimsum. What the heck, we're addicted! If there's such a thing as drug treatment or drug rehab for dimsum addiction, we are very good candidates. Hee hee. The same goes for my family back home! I can eat at T & S Seafood Restaurant every Sunday. Sunday is the only day they have dimsum on rolling carts. It just won't be the same experience on other days. :D

Eliminate Fridge Odors While Keeping Food Fresher Longer & Reducing Energy Bills
A common problem with refrigerated food is that it acquires an unpalatable taste because of odors transferring from one food to another and freezer burn. In extreme cases, your fridge could also acquire nasty odors from rotting food. If you have a horrible smell in your refrigerator or freezer that you can't seem to get rid of, Smelleze® can help!
The Smelleze® Refrigerator Deodorizer Pouch was developed to absorb and eliminate all fridge and freezer odors on contact without masking them with fragrances. Even rotten meat has no chance and Smelleze® will ensure that you won't lose your appetite when you open your fridge door.
Unlike other products, Smelleze® will also absorb ethylene which causes premature ripening and moisture. This will result in your food staying fresher longer while your energy bill is reduced. It is also significantly superior to products like baking soda and charcoal.
For a breath of fresh air, simply place the reusable Smelleze® pouches in your fridge, cooler or freezer and smell the difference. This product can also be used during moving and storage to absorb refrigerator odors. To rejuvenate periodically, simply heat in a microwave 2-4 minutes or place in direct sunlight for a day and reuse. Replace when rejuvenation does not help. Smelleze® can work for years so it is very cost effective.
Smelleze® is non-toxic, safe, reusable recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. Smelleze® is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating unpleasant refrigerator, freezer and cooler odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. It does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of Smelleze® odor control media.
Refrigerator Odor Problems
A common problem with refrigerated food is that it aquires what is commonly referred to as 'refrigerator taste' or 'freezer burn' as a result of it absorbing unpleasant odors. This results in food that is often unpalatable and wasted. Furthermore, ethylene gas is evolved from food. This is how nature ripens vegetables and fruit. Unfortunately, etylene along with moisture also cause its ultimate decay. Loss of refrigerated food because of odor contamination and prematue ripening results in the loss of money.
The Solution
The Smelleze® Refrigerator Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate many unpleasant refrigerator odors, gases, and moisture on contact and help keep your refrigerator cleaner. Smelleze® will help retain food freshness and result in meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products tasting better and lasting longer. As an added benefit, Smelleze® will reduce your energy bills through humidity control. This product is also significantly superior to conventional odor absorbing products like baking soda and offers many advantages over it. No matter how you look at it, this product will save you money while doing a good job.
How Smelleze® Works
The Smelleze® Refrigerator Deodorizer Pouch is a natural deodorizer that can be used to eliminate unpleasant refrigerator odors instead of merely masking them with fragrances. It will also adsorb moisture and gases which cause premature ripening of food. Smelleze® is negatively charged whereas odoriferous gases ride on positively charged particles. As a result, Smelleze® draws in refrigerator odors and moisture like a strong magnet. Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates the odors without smelly cover-ups. The molecular structure of Smelleze® is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives Smelleze® an enormous surface area that is larger than several football fields. The latter enables Smelleze® to asorb phenomenal amounts of refrigerator odors and moisture and work for months.
Environmentally Friendly
The Smelleze® Refrigerator Deodorizer Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented, recyclable and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly product for eliminating refrigerator odors without adding pollutants to the air. Smelleze® does not contain chemical additives and is especially beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.
Smelleze® can be effectively used in all types of domestic refrigerators, freezers, and coolers to eliminate refrigerator odors and moisture.
For a breath of fresh air, simply remove the plastic cover and place Smelleze® pouches in the refrigerator to be treated. You will smell and taste the difference. Use one or more recommended size pouches per refrigerator treated. This product will function most efficiently in an enclosed area with good air circulation such as the second shelf of the refrigerator. To obtain the best results, remove the odor sources (e.g. bad food) and clean the refrigerator prior to treating with Smelleze®. This product may be used during moving and storage of refrigerators to prevent pungent odors that typically prevail when refrigerators are turned off for extended periods of time.

In Game 3 of the American League Division Series Wednesday night, Raul Ibanez tied the game with a pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the ninth inning against Baltimore Orioles closer Jim Johnson.
Ibanez wasn't done yet.
He clobbered the first pitch from Oriole reliever Brian Matusz in the bottom of the 12th inning into the second deck in right field for the 212th walk-off home run in New York Yankee history in New York's 3-2 victory.
Ibanez had been inserted into the game to hit for struggling Alex Rodriguez, the designated hitter on Wednesday. Rodriguez had been 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Game 3 and is 1-for-12 with seven Ks in the series.

The jacket is black and silver with an Art Deco border, just like an invitation from, say, Studio 54. Yet another roman à clef on New York's most infamous night spot? Well, Cohen once worked as a bartender there. The Club has a Liza Minnelli-like actress at its center. She is trying to get her career back on track. The club's boss? "He wasn't straight; he wasn't gay. He wasn't anything. He hardly ever got involved himself. He just watched." All the characters are defined by what they wear, their sex preferences and the drugs they take. Unlike some disco novels, this one is reasonably coherent, but the authors are so laid-back the reader has no inkling of how to feel. Are the characters stupid, evil, insane, pitiful? The reader becomes just a voyeur of joyless acts of decadence. It's a bum trip. (Morrow, $10.95)

Earlier this year the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources awarded a contract with an estimated value of $3.5 million to the highest of four bidders. Not long afterward, three high-ranking DHHR officials who questioned the procedure were placed on paid leave.
There they remain, though reportedly some or all of them are considering lawsuits against the state.
Just what is going on here? DHHR acting Secretary Rocco Fucillo won't say. Asked about the three suspended officials, he will comment only that a personnel matter is involved. Reportedly, the agency is conducting an investigation, though even its scope and subject are not known with certainty.
Conduct such as that being engaged in by the DHHR strongly suggests malfeasance, perhaps outright criminal activity, is being investigated. None of the three suspended officials has been accused of anything improper - at least not openly - however. Yet the agency's action in placing them on leave implies concern about their actions or, perhaps, the potential for future activities.
It is not uncommon when investigations of criminal activity are being conducted for a veil of secrecy to be drawn over the proceedings. Not infrequently, the authorities refuse to even confirm improper activity has occurred until it has been probed thoroughly and charges either have been filed or determined not to be desirable.
All that said, the DHHR situation is not acceptable, especially because the three suspended officials had raised questions about the process of awarding a lucrative contract to the most expensive company. It is natural to wonder whether the agency was retaliating by suspending them.
Taxpayers who will be paying for the $3.5 million marketing contract involved and who continue to pay the salaries of three top DHHR officials are entitled to an explanation. They have paid for the privilege of knowing more about what is going on - and hearing some explanation soon. The extent of that information may have to be limited if, indeed, a criminal investigation is under way, but as matters stand, not even that has been revealed. The situation is unacceptable, and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin should not allow it to continue.

CaEitS2011: Causality and Explanation in the Sciences
Date: September 19-21, 2011
Venue: Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, Ghent University, Blandijnberg 2, Ghent, Belgium
Organization: Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science
This is the sixth conference in the Causality in the Sciences series of conferences.
Theme of the conference
Causality and causal inference play a central role in the sciences. Explanation is one of the central goals of scientific research. And scientific explanation requires causal knowledge. At least, these are well-known tenets in present-day philosophy of science.
In this conference, we aim to bring philosophers and scientists together to discuss the relation between causality and explanation.
We welcome contributions addressing questions from the following (non-exhaustive) list
- How is causality related to explanation? Is all explanation causal?
- Which accounts of causality best fit which accounts of explanation?
- Do different sciences demand different notions of causality and explanation?
- Which case studies shed most light on the uses of causality and explanation in the sciences?
More information

So you're telling me the Thunder, at 12-2, have the NBA's best record and are on a seven-game winning streak? And the next five games would be major upsets if Oklahoma City doesn't win?
What exactly are we dealing with here?
Let's be real. The Thunder can't keep winning at this rate for 66 games, especially a 17-2 clip or better if it turns into that. We aren't dealing with the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who won an NBA-record 72 games. Those Bulls had a .878 win percentage, which is slightly higher than the .857 win percentage that the Thunder owns now. Oklahoma City will far exceed that if it can win the next five games, which it should considering those games are at Washington, at New Jersey, Detroit, New Orleans and at Golden State. But it ain't happening over the course of an entire season — not this team, not this season for any team and maybe not ever.
And ripping off a lengthy winning streak, especially this early in the season, is not necessarily a sign of a team that's going to make a similar dominating run through the playoffs. Things can happen. The Houston Rockets won 22 straight games five years ago and flamed out in the first round, for example.
But just like the Thunder aren't those record-setting Bulls, they aren't the Houston Rockets of 2006-07 who won 22 straight at one point before flaming out in the first round. This team has staying power this season and beyond, and it sure looks like all of the preseason love Oklahoma City enjoyed by being labeled the West's favorite to reach the Finals was well-deserved.
The hot start is going to pay dividends throughout the season, even when the Thunder inevitably slows down. If the Thunder can put some serious distance between themselves and the rest of the West, some of the older teams might stop caring about gunning for the No. 1 seed. If the mountain is too steep, teams like the Mavs and Lakers might be content just to tread water as long as they have home court in the first round against some potentially dangerous lower seeds. The No. 1 seed will be easier for the Thunder to defend if guys like Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki play more limited minutes in March and April, which they might not if their teams were only a couple of games behind Oklahoma City in the standings. The blitz to start the season is a sign the stars could be aligning for, at the very least, a best-case scenario for the Thunder once the postseason begins. Every playoff series could begin with a Game 1 in Oklahoma City.
There are still some frustrating issues the Thunder have to deal with. The defensive intensity and sound rotations on that end of the floor aren't where most people would like to see them. Oklahoma City can't count on Thabo Sefolosha and Russell Westbrook bailing out the team with lights-out 3-point shooting in the last few minutes of every game. There are still some boneheaded turnovers and gratingly mundane offensive sets. Westbrook is only recently heating up, Serge Ibaka isn't quite living up to his potential so far and the Thunder can get punished on the glass.
Despite all that, the Thunder look like world-beaters at the moment. They win pretty and they win ugly. When it's time for a big shot, someone knocks it down. When it's time for a stop, Oklahoma City gets one. The players often look so eager to make that extra pass that sometimes it's one too many, or a little too ambitious. The players and coaching staff deserves credit for following through on their promises of incremental improvement, hard work and competitiveness.
I don't mean to go all Tim Tebow on you, but these guys know how to win. They know how to strangle bad teams and outlast good ones, and they remain one of this year's only playoff-bound teams that can continue to get better each offseason for the next several years without adding a single player. Not only can all of the players continue to hone their skills, but most of the current and future core rotation players aren't even within five years of reaching their physical peak.
The game against the Celtics, while ugly for long stretches, was a revelation. A knowledgeable and great crowd rose to their feet and got loud as a veteran team made plays to keep the game within reach. The Thunder kept grinding and won going away. Kendrick Perkins put an exclamation point on it with a hard foul with about six seconds left, refusing to allow a meaningless layup on his watch. [quote]
Is that the first time the Thunder won under such circumstances, or is this the first column to point out that these guys are good and will be for awhile? No, and hell no. But it really is starting to feel different. Next week, barring something crazy, the Thunder logo will be next to the No. 1 spot in the various power rankings. When Oklahoma City takes the floor at home against Detroit on Monday, it will do so as the no-doubt best team in the league at that moment. The crowd might be a little more amped up than it normally would for a weeknight game against an Eastern Conference doormat.
All offseason, I worried that the Thunder could have inflated expectations for this year to an unreasonable level. Ultimately, the Thunder proved to be paper tigers from a mental standpoint last year when the Mavericks made them wilt despite huge leads in critical games, and I fretted the team was more like two years away from truly being a threat to take the title. Maybe the precocious Thunder were a little fortunate to be within three games of the Finals to begin with and needed at least one more year of seasoning before I truly thought they could be the West's best.
Now I worry no longer. The toughness the team has displayed by dealing with the (most likely manufactured) Kevin Durant-Westbrook storyline, the emotional loss of Eric Maynor to injury and a grueling early-season schedule has erased any doubt that Oklahoma City has what it takes from a physical and mental standpoint to stand up to anyone in the NBA.
Yeah, the Celtics of this year aren't the Celtics of old. And hardly anyone expects Sefolosha to be anywhere close to the No. 1 spot in 3-point shooting like he is now (No. 2). There will also come a game when Westbrook shoots the Thunder right out of the lead in the 4th quarter as opposed to dropping repeated daggers on a team determined to not go quietly. But do you want to tell either of those guys they shouldn't be confident when taking critical shots? They'll be able to subconsciously draw on that confidence down the line when more big shots are necessary, and that's a good thing.
What I can't help but thinking is that every season the Thunder has been in Oklahoma City, they've been better than I thought they'd be. The first season ended with an essentially .500 run over the last couple of months. The second season started with a playoff spot being the highest of high hopes, and they pushed the Lakers harder than anyone other than the Celtics in the Finals. Last year started with the feeling that a decent playoff run was possible, and it ended up more than decent, despite the disappointing finish. This year, I still thought the Finals would be a little bit of a stretch. Now, at least through these first 14 games, it's clear that anything less than a Finals run will be a disappointment.
There's just no more shred of a doubt that the championship window in Oklahoma City is open, and wide open at that. The team may be flawed, but there's not a contender without a flaw right now. The West's other primary contenders are old and slow, and upstarts like Denver and Portland still don't have the superstar power that Oklahoma City does which proves so crucial in tight playoff games. In the East, a so-far injury-prone Heat team is a load to deal with, but the depth, interior defense issues and LeBron's mental fragility show the Thunder shouldn't be scared of them, especially with home court. The Bulls are deep and nasty, but half-court offense isn't exactly their strength either and they would likely need more than defensive intensity and a virtuoso Derrick Rose performance to beat Oklahoma City if that's what it comes down to.
Issues remain. But the Thunder will be a better team in April, May and (hopefully) June than they are now. Championship quality basketball has arrived in Oklahoma City.

Mercyhurst intelligence expert: Boston bombing now international issue
A Mercyhurst University intelligence expert thinks that the revelation of two eastern European immigrants accused of being behind Monday's Boston Marathon bombing will have massive implications for not just the investigation into the bombing but U.S. international relations.
Robert Heibel said Tuesday that the bombings, which injured more than 170 people and killed three, appeared to be the work of either one person or a small group. Friday, he said the fact the two brothers -- Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 -- officials claim are behind the bombing are from Chechnya adds completely different layers to the investigation moving forward.
"Now not only do we have to do the investigation in the United States, but we have to seek help internationally," Heibel said. "The question now is did they have support? The explosive devices they had didn't require a lot of money to build, but it still needs to be seen if they were part of a network and had outside financial support."
Heibel, 75, is a former deputy chief of counterterrorism for the FBI and is founder of Mercyhurst's intelligence studies program.
He now serves as director of business development for the university's Institute for Intelligence Studies.
He said Chechnya has a long history of violence.
Chechen terrorists' "model is to be very, very ruthless," Heibel said, noting it's not uncommon to hear about mass bombings, attacks on hospitals and kidnappings in that region of southwestern Russia.
He said the investigation might be helpful in the long term to establish better relations between the U.S. and Russia. Chechen terrorism has long been a thorn in the side of Russian officials, he said.
"This will be a fascinating study on international law enforcement," Heibel said. "And (Russian President Vladimir) Putin cut his teeth in Chechnya."
Heibel said another interesting development is the role technology has played in the investigation. He said social media has been helpful to law enforcement after the photos of the two accused attackers were released. And he said cell phone records could help authorities establish if they were working as part of a larger group.

'Those of you familiar with Brian's work know that it's not your normal fare; it's strange and raw," director Derek Nakagawa told the audience on opening night of "A Night in Wailea" at Gallerie Ha last weekend.
However, for many of us in the small, brightly lit venue, the play by Maui playwright Brian Peoples stopped being edgy and unique about halfway in, and became more a matter of endurance. As one audience member put it, people were "squirming in their seats,"
The one-act play features two of Maui's best actors, Dale Button and William Makozak, with a script that surely challenges their sensibilities; yet they deliver their lines with grace and style. With just a couch and a few wineglasses to set the scene, they create a mood of simmering tension that could've filled a much larger stage.
Button plays Raymond Chamberstein, a dignified cinematic icon past his prime who lives alone in a Wailea mansion. On the night in question, he is dancing with a cushion out of sheer loneliness. When two actor brothers, the bullying Dirk (Makozak) and the dangerously juvenile Billy (Peoples), appear on his doorstep, Raymond invites them in. The dialogue drags as they swig wine and make small talk, punctuated by Billy's incessant high-pitched giggling.
There are some humorous moments that stem mainly from the juxtaposition of cultured vs. coarse: Dirk not understanding Raymond's refined vocabulary ("Genre huh?"); Raymond reacting to the brothers' skit from the movie "Rocky" ("Oh, my, I was stunned!"); Billy scarfing down hors d'oeuvres while Dirk spits them out in disgust; and the brothers choking back laughter during a prolonged discussion of Raymond's "pianist" ex-boyfriend.
Peoples also works in a few jabs at Maui's performing-arts community for its tendency to feature crowd-pleasing classics like "Annie" and "The Music Man," rather than edgier fare.
Fact Box
* Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $5 at the door. For more information, call 244-3993.
The first hint of violence comes when Dirk twists Billy's arm, and we see the frightening aggression of which he's capable, seething in Makozak's forceful presence. When the mood suddenly shifts and the brothers ignore Raymond's request for them to leave, we are ready for the action, but not for the unrelenting verbal and physical assault that follows.
There are only so many times you can listen to anti-gay slurs with graphic references to sexual acts and still maintain a thoughtful interest. The worthless, sickening insults continue to fly long after they've worn out their effect, coupled with blows, kicks and slaps that are sometimes so real it's hard to watch. No wonder Button looked a bit dazed when he came out to take a bow at the end.
At least one audience member walked out during the play, but those of us who sat through it were vindicated by seeing Raymond cleverly turn the tables on his attackers at the end, never losing his dignity despite the degradation to which he was subjected.
This is Peoples' fifth and last play on Maui before he moves to Europe, so for fans of his style, "A Night in Wailea" is a must-see event. For the rest of us, the "standard fare" that Peoples ridicules sounds like the perfect antidote for what we just endured.
After the play, Gallerie Ha owner Pat Masumoto shares excerpts from last year's "My Mama Monologues" and gives a preview of the upcoming show, featuring dozens of real-life stories from writers around the world.

Two factors guaranteed to give NFL teams pause before signing any player: age and injuries.
Minor inconveniences like a criminal record or a history of not producing up to one's potential can be overlooked. But old and/or brittle bones are huge red flags. No matter how many Pro Bowls are on the resume, no matter how impressive the stats—if a player is considered over-the-hill or has missed significant time recently because he's been hurt, his chances of being picked up are slim.
(If the real world worked like the NFL, the work force would have no use for anybody over the age of 35, and secretaries would be taking cortisone shots in the bathroom to play through Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.)
With NFL teams re-assessing their rosters after the first two weeks of preseason games and looking to address some needs, here are 10 unsigned free agents who may stay unsigned due to health concerns:

When it comes to detoxing, Triple Leaf Tea's the king! Thanks to my dear friend Vicky for introducing it to me. It was Vicky that brought a box of Triple Leaf Tea to our tea party one day when I was brewing Jiaogulan Tea. I noticed Vicky's skin looked nice so told her that her skin looked fabulous. "Guess what? Thanks to a Tea!" Vicky smiled and answered. Since then, I have researched this Triple Leaf Tea to find out what makes this tea shine. Without further due, let's see what is Triple Leaf Tea
What Is Triple Leaf Tea
An owner of a loose tea shop told me that
Triple leaf tea is a Chinese herb detoxification complex made out of various herbs used in Chinese traditional medicine. Triple leaf tea, or the product advertised as such, is not really a tea product in the traditional sense of the way, in that it does not contain actual tea leaves, but rather, it consists of a series of herbs, more or less known for their properties, and as such, is more likely an herbal infusion, or, for the sake of preserving the tea appellative, an herbal tea. Triple leaf teas generally boast detoxifying properties, and are recommended for weight loss.
Isn't it a fantastic idea to use a series of herbs to make a tea? I think so! Well, anything herbal sounds great to me. It's like when you go for groceries shopping and you see those organic signs on the shelf. So you might ask, "where's Triple Leaf Tea came from?"
Triple Leaf Tea Background
"Triple Leaf is in the first place a Chinese-American family owned business. They blend Chinese dieters' teas using a combination of the ancient Chinese herbal formulas with the input of modern day Chinese herbalists who are trained in traditional healing herbalism. With this kind of approach, Triple Leaf is able to produce a result that is the creation of delicious healing teas that meet the modern-day needs." Said by a mom that absolutely loves Triple Leaf Tea.
Wow, a delicious healing tea that suits our modern lives. We all need that besides the lattes I would assume. In fact, there are many benefits of drinking Triple Leaf Tea.
Triple Leaf Tea Benefits
The publisher from a Slim Tea organization reveals that
Slimming teas work in different ways. With Triple Leaf Tea, the manufactures have designed it to boost your immune system and detoxify your body. The idea with this tea is to get you healthier so weight loss becomes easy. When you rid your body of toxins, rarely get sick, and get lots of sleep, you should be in a far better position to lose weight.
Why does this help you to lose weight? Once you gain these health benefits, your energy is going to go through the roof. And when this happens, you'll burn off more calories by being more energetic and by doing more exercise. The makers of Triple Leaf Tea state that this approach to weight loss really works.

So protein would make up the bulk of your calories at this point? Just be aware that your liver can actually only process a certain amount of protein daily, the max being determined largely by the liver's size. So smaller people generally have a lower maximum.
However, if you feel good eating this way, then why question it?

The only problem with mind-blowing, sore from head to toe sex is that the other party expects it to continue like that, despite our soreness... Down Fido! I can't do it like that all the time!! lol
LOL....maybe the DQ helps with that too :)
well....... I don't mind it that way all the time :)
Okay ...................... DONG QUAI ROCKS! I feel alive again! And hubby is loving it! :) :) :)
on a down note - I ate CRAPPY yesterday! I just didn't have the resolve to leave the ice cream alone!! And then for dinner I gave in to the temptation to try the wings - at Buffalo Wild Wings. First --- mediocre at best. Second --- terribly overpriced! Third --- paying for it today. I won't be eating there again - unless I order the salad.
My tummy is empty and grumbling but I don't want to eat anything. I feel like I need to give my gut a rest today. I might just fast until dinner. Hubby smoked a turkey on Sunday - so dinner is turkey and roasted veggies. Might need to make a buttery gravy type thing for the meat since turkey and veggies is pretty low fat!!
I'm all out of lactaid - so the ice cream in the freezer is no threat! :) Thats a plus. I need to go step on the scales and see what kind of damage I've done. Lots of sugar and wheat yesterday - not to mention the sauce on the wings probably had HFCS, soy, bad oils and who knows what else! My bowels have pretty much emptied out already, but I still feel queazy.
Stupid choices yesterday.
:( Dislike!
Feel better. And don't beat yourself up. Life goes on. You are overall doing so amazingly well!
:) thanks................ I needed a little encouragement :)
oh boy............ I think I have honeymoon-itis! I'm chugging cranberry juice! UGH -- drinking my calories - but its better than letting this thing take hold. When I get a hint of a UTI I know to attack immediately cuz it turns nasty really fast!
I've been reading about this JUDDD thing - the Alternate Day Diet. I think I might try it - but I'm going to do some more research first. I know Sabine is giving it a try. :)
JUDDD sounds interesting. I am still hooked on the damn chips. Maybe this would help :)
Sorry you didn't enjoy the BWW. We have always had a pleasurable experience there.

Water infrastructure needs gain congressional attention
Heather McTavish
Government Relations Associate
APWA Washington Office
For the past four years, APWA has been involved with the Water Infrastructure Network (WIN), a broad-based coalition of local elected officials, drinking water and wastewater service providers, state environmental and health administrators, engineers, and environmentalists dedicated to preserving and protecting the health, environmental and economic gains that America's drinking water and wastewater infrastructure provides. WIN is seeking financial support from the federal government to assist municipalities in addressing their deteriorating water infrastructure.
Though a long-term solution to the nation's water infrastructure problem is needed, a more immediate solution is to pump additional dollars into the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund (CWSRF) and the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF), the primary mechanism for federal assistance with local drinking water and wastewater infrastructure. Increasing these levels helps provide the necessary resources to begin closing the funding gap cited by WIN, Congressional Budget Office and the Environmental Protection Agency. While numbers vary, most agree the funding gap between current funding and current needs lies between $76 billion and $1 trillion.
WIN has taken its message to the Hill and lawmakers have responded, citing the needs of their own communities. Several members have introduced legislation mirroring previous legislation to increase SRF funding levels. Following are bills that APWA is monitoring:
S. 170 − Clean Water Infrastructure Financing Act of 2003
Sen. Voinovich (R-OH) re-introduced legislation he introduced in the last Congress. S. 170 authorizes $15 billion over five years to the State Revolving Loan Funds. The bill provides technical assistance to small communities with less than 20,000 in population. The legislation also provides a grant program to disadvantaged communities that are unable to pay back their loans.
H.R. 20 − Clean Water Infrastructure Financing Act of 2003
Rep. Kelly (R-NY) and Rep. Tauscher (D-CA) introduced legislation identical to S. 170, and to legislation the pair introduced last year. The bill provides $3 billion over five years to the State Revolving Loan Funds. The legislation would provide grants to financially distressed communities to pay 25 percent of the cost of projects on states' priority lists that exceed $1.4 billion. The bill includes Davis-Bacon provisions, requiring locally prevailing wages be paid on projects that receive federal funding. Similar legislation passed the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in March 2002, but did not move to the House floor because of opposition to Davis-Bacon provisions.
Water Quality Financing Act of 2003
Rep. Duncan (R-TN) is set to introduce legislation increasing the funding for the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund by $1 billion per year, until it reaches $6 billion in 2006. The bill also requires states to use water quality benefits as the primary criteria for determining which projects should receive funding and ensure that at least 15 percent of the federal contribution to the state's SRF go to communities of less than 20,000.
For additional information on these bills and other legislation APWA is monitoring, log onto APWA's Legislative Action Center: http://capwiz.com/apwa/issues/bills/. Log onto www.win-water.org for information about the Water Infrastructure Network.

I just watched Fat Head - wow, it really was succinct in explaining why eating primally is really the best for me. Particularly the below (which I will think about should I want to reach for another piece of toast!)
Insulin spikes from carbohydrates & sugar, Insulin is the hormone that determines whether you store fat.
After yesterday's terrible breakfast I started the day off really well. I'm not hungry at all either which is nice - usually I'm dying for lunch!
Breakfast - 3 x eggs with heavy cream (scrambled) + half cup berries with heavy cream.
So far we're working with
Total Calories - 356
Fat - 27.3
Protein - 20.9
Carbs - 7.9
I'm not sure what lunch or dinner will look like just yet but will post the #'s tomorrow!

text: NOleput festival to debut on April 5 By Dennis Seid | February 28, 2014 Comment 1 | Likes 0 | Tags We told you about the return of the popular Oleput festival in Tupelo earlier this week, and now, it's official – the festival is back. Well, sort of. The name has been tweaked – it's now "NOleput" Here's what organizers announced moments ago on its Facebook page: We are happy to announce that NOleput will be held in the streets of Downtown Tupelo on Saturday, April 5, 2014….. This is so exciting and it will be here very soon! The event is free and open to the public. Music starts at 11am showcasing local musicians throughout the day on 2 separate stages. Crawfish boil, food vendors and beverages will be available for purchase. The event will be held in the the vicinity of Clark Street, South Broadway, and Spring Street (North of the railroad tracks) with the VIP area held at The Historical Silver Moon Club (The Ice House). Details will continue to follow. GREAT BIG THANKS to Sue Scruggs who came up with the name – NOleput (New Orleans style festival original to Tupelo, Mississippi; Great music, food and fun! – Artwork by Sue will follow soon. This event is made possible by a partnership between the City of Tupelo, Tupelo Sports Council's All America City Picnic in the Park 4th of July Committee, Charlie Watson and a group of community volunteers. ———— NOleput will happen the same day as the Color Vibe run will be held downtown. So why the name change? We spoke to Oleput founder and president Monty Fletcher, who said while he supports the attempt at bringing it back, it won't be the same. Fletcher and the original organizers invested thousands of dollars during Oleput's 10-year run that ended in 1999, and the name was trademarked. "I just don't think you can call it Oleput because it's not going to be the same," he said. The old Oleput involved three days of music, plus a parade, a run and bike run, and brought big acts like B.B. King, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, the Commodores and Steppenwolf to the festival. Fletcher said he likes the idea of a Mardi Gras-themed festival, but thinks it should have its own identity, its own brand without the Oleput name. He also said that during the Oleput run, the city wasn't a sponsor of the event, but did support it. "We paid for the permits, the fees just like any other festival or event did, and even though we got help from city workers, we paid them as well," Fletcher said. "I just find it a little ironic that it was the city that asked us to stop having the festival back then, and now they've come back and want the festival to return," he added.

Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
- Bernard M. Baruch
I found some old friends in my garage the other day.
Five years after my husband's death, I'm only about halfway through sorting out all of his stuff. Barry was a tinkerer, an inventor, an avid reader and, most of all, a pack rat. I've been going through closets and cartons, one room at a time, and now I just have his workroom and the garage to clean out. Last week, as I went through the dozens of books and hundreds of magazines he'd collected, I found one box that was labeled "KC" and taped shut. For a moment I thought the box might contain a message from beyond the grave, like in that "P.S. I Love You" movie. But then I recognized my own writing, even if I couldn't recall what I had packed into the box 10 years ago.
It was full of books I'd kept since my childhood, including Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" autobiographical series and "The Golden Dictionary," which, according to the cover, contained 1,030 words and more than 1,500 pictures in color. My cleanup project came to a screeching halt and I spent the next couple of hours reveling in the musty, age-stained pages.
Most of the books had been given to me by Aunt Esther, a dear family friend who sent me a book for my birthday and one for Christmas every year of my youth. My father taught me to read when I was 2, and so the first book Aunt Esther gave me was inscribed "Since my little one can read it at three, she shall have it. Happy Birthday." Like "The Golden Dictionary," this book, "1 2 3 4 5," was full of pictures. Black-and-white photographs, actually, illustrating short poems about numbers. My favorite page showed a human pyramid formed by a family of young circus acrobats, no more than 8 or 9 years old.
Seven children, three girls, four boys,
Though still fond of play with toys,
Know how to build a ladder into space,
And how to keep a smiling face.
Three and four, adding up to seven,
Seven children reaching toward heaven.
I remember gazing at that photo and imagining myself posed on top of the pile. That was during my Toby Tyler phase, when I planned to run away with the circus as soon as it came to Maui.
When I was a little older, maybe 10 or 11, "Manners to Grow On" was one of my favorite books. Anxious to put the lessons into practice, I corrected my father in table etiquette one evening when we were dining at the old Maui Frontier (now Cary and Eddie's Hideaway). My mother gave me a withering look and sternly said, "Good manners is making the other person feel comfortable." That's all she said, but it was a lesson I never forgot.
"The Boy Who Drew Cats" was also in the box. The oversized book of Japanese folk tales retold by Lafcadio Hearne fascinated me for years, despite - or perhaps because of - the cover depicting a huge rat-goblin sneaking up on an innocent little boy as he lay sleeping. In the story, the young wanderer spends the night in a deserted temple, unaware of the bloodthirsty rat that terrorized the village. The child had been frowned upon by his parents and teachers for his habit of drawing cats everywhere he went, on walls, in books, on any flat surface. When he came upon the abandoned temple, he spent the entire day drawing cats throughout the building. Late that night, the boy was awakened by sounds so eerie and violent, he didn't dare peek out of the cabinet in which he slept. The next morning, he found the floor covered with blood, the body of the goblin in the middle of the mess. He wondered who could have slaughtered the monster, and then he noticed that the mouths of all the cats he'd drawn were wet with blood. His beloved cats had saved him.
I probably owe my storytelling career to those books and to Aunt Esther and my parents. My father was obsessed with teaching me to read as soon as I could speak coherently. I've enjoyed reading aloud and sharing stories ever since.
Thank goodness I'm as much of a pack rat as Barry was. Otherwise I might have tossed out those books long ago. Instead I got to enjoy a wonderful reunion in the midst of a melancholy task, reliving cherished memories and getting reacquainted with my old friends. They may have been forgotten for a while, but they continue to give pleasure.

[QUOTE=NaLi;985820]I checked out some of the sites suggested here... Weston A. Price - interesting stuff, but way to alternative for me to propose at work (cherry juice concentrate for gout? fine to try, but there's no way I could send a patient with an acute gout attack home with that advice...). The Whole9 seems interesting, and I'll add it to the list of websites I recommend to patients, but [B]can't refer to it when discussing hospital policies[/B].
I think this is one reason why you don't find a lot of mainstream doctors discussing this kind of health advice. You know better than I do the risks involved in stepping outside the mainstream.
I guess my concern is less with patient education (in spite of the title of this thread) but more with education of staff. I went through the sites by medical providers suggested by Moochy, and realised that almost none of them have published much in peer reviewed journals. The only nutrition related article I could find was a review article by Dr. Colin Champ on low-fat vs low-carbohydrate diet in breast cancer patients. Dr. William Davis (Wheat Belly) claims that he barely performs invasive therapy for his heart disease patients anymore because of reversal of disease after changing their diets. Why can't I find anything by him on PubMed? A solid randomised trial might be too costly and not practical, but surely a case series or a concept paper would be easier to write than an entire book? did he write them and was rejected? or did he think incorporating his theories in mainstream cardiology would not be accepted? [B]I am confused as to why MDs would write books aimed at the general public rather than propagating their ideas and theories on nutrition via academia[/B]? no funding? too hard? or just no evidence? or financial interest?
How many MDs are still in academia? I probably don't understand how the whole publishing thing works, but it seems to me that if you are in practice you're not necessarily within academia with access to the whole peer-reviewed publishing process.
I am not trying to discount their work, nor do I disagree with the theories on nutrition. But it [B]seems to me that many MDs seem to have left "mainstream medicine" for holistic medicine or alternative medicine[/B]. Is it an either/or situation? I am a conventional doctor and have no intention of becoming an alternative medicine practitioner. I deal with fractures, acute heart attacks, appendicitis and no amount of high quality whole food is going to fix you once you're in this situation. I know doctors get a lot of criticism for pushing pills, but[B] imagine the amount of criticism if we don't prescribe drugs[/B]. Would you prefer a doctor who overprescribes or underprescribes? Still,[B] I think there is tremendous unrecognised value in preventative activities and feel there is no reason why this should not be a greater part of mainstream medicine.[/B]
I don't think preventive medicine is actually valued in typical modern medicine. It's not often in the "standard of care" they are required by insurance companies to follow. It takes the physician sitting down to talk to their patient for a significant amount of time. It takes getting to the bottom of the reason for a symptom rather than just treating the symptom. Many naturopaths leave regular medicine just so they can have the time and the freedom from top-down, insurance industry-prescribed treatment options to do this.
I do think, however, that[B] it is still too early for the principles of the paleo diet to be incorporated in conventional medicine[/B] from a top down approach. I think that high quality research and hard evidence will not be available any time soon, this is not absolutely necessary. Lots of things we do is not based on any evidence at all. (probably most of what we do...). I'll continue to educate my patients the way I have been, and will probably put something down on paper to hand out to people who are interested. Not sure if it will be frowned upon by higher management, but I'd rather not ask.
Exactly. It's too early or too impossible to be done within the current system.
Finally, a question. Or a poll. [B]Who on this board educates their doctor?[/B] I have read many stories about people getting results and surprising their doctors with it. Does anybody give their doctor information? How do you do it? How do they respond? Would you given them a handout - brief written documentation about the principles of the diet and some websites and publications to reference? I am wondering if this would be a way to encourage MDs to improve their knowledge on nutrition (since it's so terrible) and maybe even recommend it to other patients....
Sorry for the long post, but am curious to hear your thoughts...[/QUOTE]
I haven't been to my doctor since I changed my way of eating. Should I go back and he's not retired, I hope my cholesterol is improved enough that I can have that conversation. If it isn't, then I won't have the conversation with him because I wouldn't want him to think my diet is bad for everybody. I simply do not (and never have) believe that high cholesterol is necessarily a marker for poor health. And I honestly do not think my doctor would be willing to accept a long list of other health improvements I could give him, especially the more subjective ones, as reasonably strong proof against a high cholesterol number (if I have one, I don't actually know my cholesterol).
