WASHINGTON -- Louisville's Kevin Ware walked through the White House on Tuesday without a hitch, a limp or any discernible hiccup to his step.
He is on the mend from a compound fracture in his leg, and the prospects of him being back on the court are high. But the underlying concern for Ware will be how he handles the mental aspect of playing basketball again -- actually being in a competitive environment -- and being so much in the spotlight.
"He hasn't watched the tape, and I don't want him to,'' said Louisville's Chane Behanan. "He doesn't want to. If he saw it, he'd be nervous even playing. Without him seeing it, I think he'll be fine.''
This theme of the mental aspect for Ware is real among the staff and his teammates. How he handles the simple things of being on the court again and initially being the story are all real issues, maybe as much as his physical recovery.
Louisville chose to shut him down from public comment Tuesday at the White House on the team's visit. He was not available to the national, D.C. or Kentucky-based media. He had spoken quite a bit about his freakish accident, the compound fracture that millions saw on CBS against Duke in the teams' Elite Eight game and inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
AP Photo/Charlie NeibergallKevin Ware couldn't play in the title game, but he still got to cut down a net.
A few weeks after Ware's injury, the country saw the horror of leg injuries and loss of limbs during the Boston Marathon bombing. Ware's injury was serious, and had it not been for the on-court care by Louisville's team of trainers and doctors, and the immediate medical care in the building and in Indianapolis, the injury could have been even more serious. Surgery went well. He is healing. He will play again. So, perspective is needed here for Ware, but in our world, that's hard to have when so much attention will be on him early in the season, sucking all the oxygen out of what Louisville will be doing. Maybe that's one reason the Cardinals are dialing back the attention on him.
Ware was invited to the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He had gone through the media circuit. President Barack Obama made a point of mentioning Ware during his comments to Louisville and the assembled guests in the East Room.
"And then, of course, there's Kevin Ware,'' Obama said. "I told him to say hi to his mom, because moms don't like seeing their kids get hurt. And obviously all of us remember the terrible injury that Kevin suffered. But what we also remember is the love that all of his teammates showed for him, the way that he was on crutches a day later. A week after that, he was up there cutting the nets in Atlanta. Today, he's standing here with his teammates, working out, hoping to be ready for fall practice."
Like it or not, the attention nationally on Louisville took a different turn after Ware's injury. It was too dramatic not to shift the focus to the Cardinals in the sport and across mainstream news platforms. "Once Kevin got injured, people were paying attention to our team,'' Behanan said.
Ware was a key rotation player in the Sweet 16 win over Oregon, scoring 11 points in 25 minutes and being the lanky defender needed for the Cardinals. He lasted only five minutes of playing time against Duke.
"It's unbelievable, he's such a tough kid and he doesn't care as much about himself as he does everybody else,'' said Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich. "He works tirelessly. His goal is to play this year and whether or not he does, he's done all things he needs to do. If anybody is going to make it happen, he can.''
Peyton Siva, who finished his career with the title victory over Michigan, said, "For us to see him walking around and shooting the ball and getting up and down is really great. It's definitely a great story for other people to see how determined he is to get back onto the court. He's ready. He can't wait to get back on the court and play with the guys.''
Louisville coach Rick Pitino has been cautious to not shine too much attention on Ware. "It's an injury that takes a long time to heal, but he will heal, and so we're very optimistic after speaking with his doctors,'' Pitino said.
But to make this Louisville team all about Ware would be a mistake. There is so much more to this team now, as there was during the NCAA tournament.
Luke Hancock: He was the MVP of the Final Four coming off the bench, dealt with his father being gravely ill due to cancer during that time and then the grief of him passing away on June 25. Hancock still honored his commitment to try out for the World University Games and then made the team that finished a disappointing ninth in Kazan, Russia, earlier this month. Hancock averaged 10.8 points, three rebounds and made 16 3s for the Americans.
Mark Cornelison/Lexington Herald-Leader/MCT via Getty ImagesLuke Hancock was big in the Cards' title run and will be looked to as a leader next season.
"My dad being able to share that national championship with me is pretty special,'' said Luke of his late father, Bill. "It was a wild summer. There were ups and downs. I talked with my dad about not going [to USA basketball], but he looked at me and made me promise to him that I was going to go. The first several days after I found out, that was really tough. I wasn't going to back out on my promise. That's exactly what he wanted me to do.''
Montrezl Harrell: Harrell was an energy rebounder for the Cardinals during the postseason. He has a chance to ultimately be the best pro prospect on the 2013-14 roster. He was third on the team in scoring (10.6) and averaged 3.7 rebounds with 10 blocks and eight steals on the gold-medal winning FIBA U-19 team that won in Prague earlier this month.
"The last six months for me have been fun and a great experience,'' Harrell said. "I had a great experience with this team, winning the national championship and winning the gold. It's a great feeling.''
The guards: One-time walk-on Tim Henderson got a shout out from the president and Pitino during the ceremony. He said those two 3s he made against Wichita State in the semifinal "changed his life,'' due to the national recognition he received. "A lot of guys get a dream to get this opportunity and it has been a blessing and an unbelievable feeling," he said.
The top returning player is Russ Smith, who is in Europe competing with a foreign touring team loaded with college players. Smith has professed that the Cardinals can win the title again. They can with him leading this squad. Contributing wing Wayne Blackshear is back, and the infusion of JC transfer point guard Chris Jones has the team anticipating another title run.
"I got the chance to watch him in practice the other day, and he was amazing," Siva said. "He'll open eyes. He can play. He can shoot the ball. He will be really good this year."
The starters of Smith and Jones, the spot play of Henderson, the potential return of Ware, the face-up shooting of Hancock, the contribution of Blackshear, the inside play of Behanan and Harrell make up a team that can win the title again. The one thing missing is the intimidating back-line defense of Gorgui Dieng, leaving that onus on Harrell and Behanan. How much the newcomers -- guards Anton Gill, Terry Rozier and big man Akoy Agau -- contribute is still to be determined.
Louisville will be the team to beat in the American Athletic Conference. The Cardinals should be considered as a preseason No. 1.
"It takes a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work and a great family type of chemistry,'' Pitino said. "We've got those things now. More than anything else we have to replace Gorgui Dieng. Peyton Siva had an unbelievable attitude but we've got some great guards coming in. We're very deep in the backcourt. We've got to replace Gorgui in the 5 spot. I'm not as confident as Russ Smith who told one of the New York tabloids that even though he was going to Spain and he would miss seeing the president that he would see him next year. We're not that confident as a coaching staff.''

An international team led by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) reports discovering the cause of a rare type of ovarian cancer that most often impacts girls and young woman. The study ("Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type, displays frequent inactivating germline and somatic mutations in SMARCA4") is published online in Nature Genetics.
The findings revealed a "genetic superhighway" mutation in a gene found in the overwhelming majority of patients with small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type, also known as SCCOHT, according to Jeffrey Trent, Ph.D., president and research director or TGen and senior author of the study. This type of cancer usually is not diagnosed until it is in its advanced stages and does not respond to standard chemotherapy. Sixty-five percent of patients die within two years. It has affected girls as young as 14 months, and women as old as 58 years—with a mean age of only 24 years old. In this study, the youngest patient was nine years old.
"We identified germline and somatic inactivating mutations in the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling gene SMARCA4 in 75% (9/12) of SCCOHT cases in addition to SMARCA4 protein loss in 82% (14/17) of SCCOHT tumors but in only 0.4% (2/485) of other primary ovarian tumors," wrote the investigators. "These data implicate SMARCA4 in SCCOHT oncogenesis."
According to Dr. Trent, "The correlation between mutations in SMARCA4 and the development of SCCOHT is simply unmistakable." He added that, while the breakthrough is for a relatively rare cancer, discovering the origins of this type of ovarian cancer could have implications for more common diseases.
The SMARCA4 gene, which was previously associated with lung, brain, and pancreatic cancer, was the only recurrently mutated gene in the study's samples. The implications of this discovery, therefore, may be widespread.
"We set out to uncover any small sliver of hope for women afflicted with this rare cancer. What we found instead are the nearly universal underpinnings of SCCOHT," said Pilar Ramos, a TGen research associate and the study's lead author. "By definitively identifying the relationship between SMARCA4 and SCCOHT, we have high confidence that we have set the stage for clinical trials that could provide patients with immediate benefit."

Questions about the Wikipedia Education Program[edit]
How did the Education Program get started?[edit]
The Wikipedia Education Program is an expansion of the Public Policy Initiative. In 2010, the Wikimedia Foundation received a grant to pilot a small university program, focusing specifically on improving the content of the English Wikipedia for the topic area of United States Public Policy. For the pilot program, we developed a plan for assistance to professors who wanted to use Wikipedia in their university classrooms: (1) support materials for teaching, including a sample syllabus, sample assignments, screencast videos, and handouts for students; (2) Campus Ambassadors, who are trained to work in the classroom to teach students how to edit Wikipedia; and (3) Online Ambassadors, experienced Wikipedians with a track record of helping newcomers who will support students online when questions arise.
How many classes have participated in Education Program in the United States and Canada?[edit]
Professors started working with the Education Program to implement Wikipedia in the classroom four terms ago, during the pilot phase, known as the Public Policy Initiative. Since that time, the Education Program in the United States and Canada have supported almost 300 classes with our resources, training, and Ambassadors. Each term, volunteers and staff coordinating the program learn better ways to support both academia and Wikipedia, the stakeholders impacted most when students add content as an assignment.
What is a Campus Ambassador?[edit]
A Campus Ambassador (CA) is a volunteer who can work with you and your students in-person. They answer questions for your students and serve as one of the liaisons with the online community of editors. Here are some of the various roles CAs can play:
What is an Online Ambassador?[edit]
An Online Ambassador (OA) is a volunteer who is an experienced Wikipedia editor. S/he knows the ins and outs of wiki markup, copyright laws, core policies, and all of the things that help your students benefit the most from working on Wikipedia. Your students can seek help from OAs via the education noticeboard or on a specific OA's talk page. You may ask an OA to work with your students in the following ways:
What do professors have to say about their experiences with the program?[edit]
Here are some blog posts written by our professors and Ambassadors about the student experience:
- Tina Loo, at the University of British Columbia, grouped her students to collaborate on topics related to the environment in Canada. She writes about her initial motivation for getting involved with the Education Program, which was the rising disinterest she'd seen in her students.
- Paula Marentette, at the University of Alberta–Augustana, grouped her small class into two groups, and each group worked to improve a course-relevant article to reach Good Article status (which they achieved). She and her students write about why they enjoyed the experience and would prefer a Wikipedia assignment again in the future.
- Ed Erikson, at University of Massachusetts at Amherst, has used the Wikipedia assignment to replace his typical midterm assessment for the last two semesters. He writes about both the challenges and benefits of introducing Wikipedia-editing to his students.
- Michael Mandiberg, at the College of Staten Island, talks about why using Wikipedia in the classroom has been a worthwhile venture.
- Jonathan Obar, at Michigan State University, talks about why he loves Wikipedia and introducing it to his students.
What do students have to say about their experiences with the program?[edit]
- Katy Lederer, a student at Alverno College, updated a video to Wikipedia for a class assignment. She talks about the thrill of reaching so many readers with a classroom assignment.
- Karl Wahlen, a student at University of Pittsburgh, talks about why he will continue editing Wikipedia, even now that his class is over.
- We send out a student survey to gauge the student experience, and you can find a summary of the results from Fall 2011 here. To see direct feedback from students, please see the on-wiki responses from student editors in the Spring 2013 semester.
Questions about participating in the Wikipedia Education Program[edit]
Why do I need to complete the online orientation for professors?[edit]
We've put a lot of work into creating this orientation, as a lot of professors have noted at the end of the term that they would like more information about what it means to edit Wikipedia. The orientation reviews the basics of Wikipedia policies and best practices, so you'll be familiar with the benefits and challenges your students may face. It also walks you through an extensive Wikipedia assignment, so you can get an idea of how other professors have incorporated the Education Program into the classroom.
There's not currently an active Campus Ambassador at my university. Can I still join the Education Program?[edit]
Now that we've created online orientation for Ambassadors, we have the capacity to expand the Campus Ambassador program at a much faster rate. Rather than finding a Campus Ambassador who is already trained, you can (and should!) recruit a Teaching Assistant, faculty member, graduate student, or even an undergraduate student to serve in this role for your class. This recruited volunteer will still need to complete the online orientation that all Ambassadors complete and commit to your class for the full term. Some recommended faculty positions on your campus that are a good fit with this program: university librarians, Teaching and Learning Center staff, Instructional Design professionals, faculty in the writing center, etc..
I want my students to write a typical persuasive essay, but I like the idea of using Wikipedia. What can I do?[edit]
Persuasive writing does not belong on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, which means only facts should be included, not arguments or thesis statements. One of the challenges for students is learning how to conceptualize their research in a neutral way, but this is also one of the biggest benefits. One of the things you should learn from the case studies portal is that the Wikipedia assignment does not have to be your only assignment! If you really want your students to work on Wikipedia, you'll need to choose an assignment that does not encourage (and even restricts) writing persuasively.
I will be teaching a class of 100 students. Is the Wikipedia assignment appropriate for me?[edit]
One of the biggest challenges with such a big class will be monitoring their work and providing feedback. This new assignment for your students will likely take more of your time to provide help and feedback to them, and you're a busy person. Though, of course, some larger classes can certainly add good content to Wikipedia and have a good experience, history points to this fitting better with smaller classes. However, a lot of professors offer the Wikipedia assignment as an alternate, optional, extracurricular, or even a "first come, first serve" assignment. So long as those editing Wikipedia will still get to interact with you and your Ambassadors, the size of the class is not necessarily a factor as to whether you'll be successful.
Questions about using Wikipedia as a teaching tool[edit]
Why should I replace a traditional assignment with a Wikipedia one?[edit]
Our past professors have indicated a lot of reasons for participating in the program, and some of them might ring true for you, too. Perhaps you want to be on the cutting edge of using technology in the classroom, or maybe you're interested in improving your students' writing, research, collaboration, or media literacy skills. A lot of students like that the Wikipedia assignment is "published", rather than a throw-away assignment that only the professor sees. Some professors have even argued that it's their civic duty to enable their students to give the world access to the wealth of information and research often available only in higher education.
How do I prevent some of the challenges students face while editing Wikipedia?[edit]
The program is young, and we're still learning, but now we have an outline of some great assignment types. We know writing for an encyclopedia is often a completely new phenomenon for students who are trained to take a stance and persuade an audience. We know students rarely learn about online copyright laws. We also know the collaborative nature and wide audience of Wikipedia articles leads students to defend their research and learn how to extract neutral, factual information from secondary sources.
Can I still teach with Wikipedia even if you don't have the resources to support my class?[edit]
Professors have been teaching with Wikipedia long before the Education Program existed. In fact, some of these professors even inspired the program. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, so of course you can still use it as a teaching tool in your class. However, this program exists to support students, as our resources, trained Ambassadors, and expertise can make the difference between students embracing the assignment or struggling with it. If the question of your participation is more of a "program fit" problem, we highly suggest you heed our Ambassadors' advice and adjust your assignment according to our feedback. We are in this to benefit not only Wikipedia but also professors and students, and we are committed to helping everyone involved enjoy this as a positive learning experience.

THE REVELATION THAT JEAN-CHARLES DE CASTELBAJAC WAS chosen to design vestments for Pope John Paul II provoked covetousness in some circles. At the house of Dior in Paris, says a fashion insider, "people were complaining: 'Why is he doing the Pope? Why aren't we? After all, we're Christian Dior.' "
For that matter, neither Christian Lacroix nor Saint Laurent were chosen to clothe the Holy Father when he visits Paris Aug. 21-24 for World Youth Day, a religious gathering held biennially and expected to draw some 600,000 young pilgrims. In fact, Castelbajac, 47, is the first major designer to outfit this—or any—Pope. Why him? "I've always been inspired by the clothes of the church," says the Catholic Castelbajac, who donated his designs. "My shapes come from the liturgy celebration." The chasubles (robes worn over cassocks) that he designed for the 500 bishops and 5,000 priests attending the event are of ecru wool gabardine with an outline of the cross. Of the Pope's robe (it will be unveiled at the vigil), Castelbajac says only that it "was inspired by Noah's Ark. When the flood ended, God made a rainbow appear as a sign of reconciliation. I used the rainbow as a universal flag of hope."
The Archbishop of Paris chose Castelbajac because, a spokesman says, "We could count on him to do something that would be acceptable to both the priests and young people without being shocking." A curious criterion for a designer known for vibrant collections featuring teddy bear coats and derriere-grazing minidresses. But before the name of Castelbajac became synonymous with a daring palette, he was a pious and dutiful son growing up in Limoges, southwest of Paris. His father, the Marquis de Castelbajac, died when Jean-Charles was 15, and his mother, Jeanne, supported her only child as a designer in her own company. "A sense of color runs in the family," says Jeanne, who at 75 runs a women's-and-children's-wear company. "I discovered it and my son followed me." Castelbajac began designing for her after finishing high school in 1967, and by the mid-'70s, after he had already branched out on his own, his eclectic creations had earned him a job designing costumes for Charlie's Angels from his studio in Paris. Clients have since included Nastassja Kinski, Lauren Bacall, Elton John and the Duchess of York.
Today, Castelbajac shares an apartment in Paris and a medieval castle outside the city with his fiancée, model and aspiring actress Tasha Mota e Cunha, 27 (his sons, Guilhem, 18, and Louis-Marie, 14, are from a past marriage). He finds outfitting the Pope nothing less than inspirational. "This project has given, me a wider view of what I'm doing," he says. "Like the man in the field scattering seeds, I like to spread color around."

LAKE FOREST, IL — The Chicago Bears signed TE Jeron Mastrud and S Adrian Wilson to one-year contracts.
The 6-6, 255-pound Mastrud has appeared in 52 games with 18 starts over four seasons with Miami (2010-12) and Oakland (2013), grabbing seven receptions for 96 yards (13.7 ypr). Last season, Mastrud started 12-of-16 games played hauling in six receptions for 88 yards (14.7 ypr).

Kristin Chenoweth Is Paging The Olsen Twins
"I'd love to direct one of the Olsen twins in the story of my life!" cracked the Tony- and Emmy-winning star at the Drama League tribute in her honor at the Pierre last night.
Chenoweth has so many sides to her talent she'd probably need the entire Osmond family.
The event was filled with short jokes, great clips, and lots of admiration for the woman who sings Broadway, gospel, country, and coloratura with equal chutzpah.
Among the highlights was a segment in which various Broadway males, claiming that Kristin has stolen all the good material for herself, seized back her songs.
Upcoming Events
Nick Jonas did a really sweet and swoon-worthy "A House Is Not a Home."
Brent Barrett belted a strong, wailing "What Did I Have That I Don't Have?"
And Cheyenne Jackson did his version of "Gorgeous," which didn't have much irony (he is gorgeous), but was hilarious nonetheless.
And out of nowhere came Elaine Paige, who admitted to the honoree, "I keep wanting to call you Kirsten."
Oh, no! Her familiar word flubbing again?
Nope. Paige wound up getting the name right.
And then she launched into her version of "I'm Still Here" from Follies and, having dropped the screaming she did when the song crescendoed on Broadway, she really nailed it big time.
At the end of the evening, Kristin swept to the stage, truly touched, and admitted, "My favorite thing in the world is to be onstage. I'm in therapy about it."
Hopefully they won't work out a cure.

- Max Tour - Impossible?
The computer cars are flat out faster than you, they get random 50kmh speed boosts if you get close to them, and they have infinite nitro. Clearly, there's absolutely no way you can win racing normally, you just don't have any kind of edge over them.
I can only assume, then, that the method of victory must involve some kind of trick. From what I can see, it looks like the trick is to nitro in front of them, and then get amazingly lucky in having them repeatedly hit you from behind (using the rear view mirror obviously helps). By doing the race hundreds of times, the stars would eventually align and you'd get a lucky bump that gives you the race (I've come within a tenth of a second so far).
However, at this rate, it might be possible to win one race a week, and thus to fully complete the Max Tours you'd basically have to sink hundreds of hours into them and be extremely lucky.
Is there any other trick to doing this or is my analysis basically correct?

http://terosclassicgaming.blogspot.com/ - Watch me beat classic games!
It might be correct...I haven't tried that one before though...
As for me, I think the trick is just to keep up with the other racers while saving your nitros up until the last lap, then use all of your nitros when you are near the finish line. That way, you can pass all of them without giving them a chance to abuse their infinite nitros.
That trick somehow works on a few tracks in Max Tour. It's still very hard to beat... =.=
What you are thinking right now...is my signature.
I watched a video, and I think they toned max tour down a little for the sequel. For example, it's now possible to pass opponents on straight ground without nitro. This is flat out impossible in Ridge Racer 1, the computer will spontaneously accelerate to catch up to you (often pulling off some very jerky moves in the process).
Similarly the nitrous trick doesn't really help, I've tried that, but if you save up nitros you'll usually be so far behind at the start of lap 3 that you need to use them to catch up, leaving you with at best 1 nitro to pass the last car, which won't be enough because he'll nitro, too.
I think the best method is to use nitro as needed to keep yourself in second place and pray you can somehow overtake the guy.
That being said, I don't think I'm going to attempt to pass the Max Tours, they're just too insane.
