I don't know how this post will turn out given the level of exhaustion I'm feeling but I don't want to try to sleep and do the tossing, turning, replaying things in my mind. I can't concentrate on TV or a book. I want to focus on writing about something that feeds my soul and who's myth can express a poetic way of the experience of this disease.
I've long been captivated by the myth of Orpheus. There is something tragic, haunting, beautiful in the myth. Rilke, one of my favorite poets, wrote a series of poems in his book "Sonnets to Orpheus". One catalyst that spurred Rilke's writing these poems was the death of the daughter of long time friends of his. He was deeply shaken by her death and dedicated part of his "sonnets to orpheus" to her.
I guess these next series of posts with be as much about the myth of Orpheus as about Rilke's "Sonnet's To Orpheus".
[Note: the results of the Stanford Cytokine study are being released to participants today at 4:00 PST. A video will be released to those who can't attend the meeting in person. If I can I'll post the results of the study.]
There are a few different versions of this myth. I tried to find the most abbreviated version that captures the themes I plan on elaborating on later. First-an abbreviated version of the myth of Orpheus (for those who don't know it):
The story of Orpheus of Eurydice is a story of beauty and tragedy. It begins with Orpheus, the best musician that ever lived. One strum of his lyre, one note sung, and beasts would crawl to him, rocks would move to be closer, trees would leave their places to be near to him. They called him a sorcerer for his power, and perhaps he was, for he was the son of the MuseCalliope (1) and Apollo. Apollo was the one who gave him his lyre.
He lived his life simply and carelessly until the day he met Eurydice (2). She was a Dryad, and their love was perfect and unbreakable. Orpheus also drew flocks of women to him, but only one woman could capture his heart. The shepherd, Aristaeus, saw Eurydice's beauty, desired it, and tried to take her unwillingly. She ran from him. Ran in terror, without thought to her step, and so it was she stepped on a viper in her flight. The venom of its bite killed her at once, and Orpheus was inconsolable. His grief was bitter, but he did not let it lull him into a stupor. This led him to only sing about grief. Finally, he decided to take action.
With his lyre, Orpheus descended into the Underworld. A normal mortal would have perished any number of times, but Orpheus had his lyre and his voice and he charmed Cerberus - the three-headed monster dog of Hades who guarded the Underworld - into letting him pass. Facing Hades and his cold Queen Persephone (3) he played for them his sorrow at the loss of his love. The heart that was frozen by Hades' abduction melted in Persephone's br east and a tear rolled down her cheek. Even Hades could not help weeping. They let Orpheus through to Eurydice, but warned him very carefully: Eurydice would follow him into the light of the world and once she entered the sunlight she would be changed from a shade back to a woman. But if Orpheus doubted, if he looked back to see her, she would be lost to him forever.
He turned and left the dark hall of Hades and began his ascent back to life. As he walked he rejoiced that his wife would soon be with him again. He listened closely for her footfall behind him, but a shade makes no noise. The closer to the light he got, the more he began to believe that Hades had tricked him to get him out of the Underworld that Eurydice was not behind him. Only feet away from the light Orpheus lost faith and turned around. He saw Eurydice, but only for a moment as her shade was whisked back down among the other dead souls. One simple mistake, and Eurydice was lost forever.
Orpheus tried again to enter the Underworld and demand her return, but one cannot enter twice the same way—and no other way was open to him. All that was left to him was death.
He lingered about for seven days without drink, food, or sleep. He eventually committed suicide, but the Muses mourned the death of their son and prodigy, and saved his head to sing forever.
In another version the myth ends like this:
Orpheus was inconsolable at this second loss of his wife. He spurned the company of women and kept apart from ordinary human activities. A group of Ciconian Maenads, female devotees of Dionysus, came upon him one day as he sat singing beneath a tree. They attacked him, throwing rocks, branches, and anything else that came to hand. However, Orpheus' music was so beautiful that it charmed even inanimate objects, and the missiles refused to strike him. Finally, the Maenads' attacked him with their own hands, and tore him to pieces. Orpheus' head floated down the river, still singing, and came to rest on the isle of Lesbos.
I thought I'd be able to write more but I can't due to exhaustion so will continue tomorrow or Sunday. After reading this you might think "what does this have to do with the experience of living with this disease?" Come to think of it I have no idea. Ha! Seriously, it does. The reasons why will be addressed in the next few posts.

The earth's climate is already adjusting to past greenhouse gas emissions. The climate
system must adjust to changing greenhouse gas concentrations in order to keep the global energy
budget balanced. This means that the climate is changing and will continue to change as long as
greenhouse gas levels keep rising. Scientists are now convinced that a growing body of evidence gives
a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system.
Measurement records indicate a warming an increase of 0.6±0.2°C in global average
temperature since the late 19th century. These observation are in line with model
projections of the size of warming to date, particularly when the cooling effect of sulphur emissions
aerosols is included. Most of the warming occurred from 1910 to 1940 and from 1976 to the present. In
the Northern Hemisphere (where there are sufficient data to make such analyses), iIt is likely that
the rate and duration of 20th century warming has been greater than any other time during
the last 1,000 years. In addition, tThe 1990s are likely to have been the warmest decade of the
millennium in the Northern Hemisphere, and 1998 is likely to have been the warmest year.
Mean sea level has risen by 10 to 20 cm. As the upper layers of the oceans warm, water expands
and sea level rises. Models suggest that a 0.6oC warming should indeed result in the
sea-level rise to date. But other, harder-to-predict, changes also affect the real and apparent sea
level, notably snowfall and ice-melt in Greenland and Antarctica and the slow "rebound" of
northern continents freed from the weight of ice age glaciers.
Snow cover has declined by some 10% since the late 1960s in the mid- and high latitudes of the
Northern Hemisphere. It is also very likely that the annual duration of lake and river ice cover
has shortened by about two weeks over the course of the 20th century. Almost all recorded
mountain glaciers in non-polar regions have retreated during this time as well. In recent decades,
the extent of Arctic sea-ice in the spring and summer has decreased by about 10 – 15%, and the
ice Arctic sea-ice has likely thinned by 40% during late summer and early autumn.
There is more precipitation in many regions of the world. An increase of 0.5 – 1% per
decade has been measured over most mid- and high latitude areas of the Northern Hemisphere
continents, accompanied by a 2% expansion in cloud cover. Precipitation over the tropical land areas
(10°N – 10°S) seems to have increased by 0.2 – 0.3% per decade. On the other
hand, declines have been observed over Northern Hemisphere sub-tropical land areas (10
–30°N) during the 20th century, by of about 0.3% per decade. In parts of Africa
and Asia the frequency and intensity of droughts seem to have worsened.
The way climate has changed over the 20th century is consistent with what we would
expect as a result of increases in greenhouse gases and aerosols. Observed spatial patterns of
global warming is are consistent with model predictions. For example, surface, balloon and satellite
measurements show that while the earth's surface has been warming, the stratosphere has cooled.
In addition, the earth is warming more slowly over the oceans than over the land, particular in those
ocean regions where surface water mixes down, distributing any warming to the ocean depths. Yet
another example is reduced warming in areas affected by sulphate aerosols. Together, this evidence
suggests that recent climate changes are unlikely to be entirely due to known sources of natural
Overall, there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50
years is attributable to human activities.

It's cool, but...
By Leona the Architect
from Chicago, IL
I love the watch, but it cannot be viewed unless you have two hands free (one to press the button). Only a problem when you're rushing to something while carrying things. Also, after one day's wear in a corporate office the bottom (inside wrist) portion of the band was already chipped of it's black coating. Considering the cost, I certainly wasn't expecting wear to show that quickly.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Fun, but classic
By Always looking for something unique
from Annapolis, Maryland
I was so excited to receive the watch and once I read the directions thoroughly as to how to set it, it has been keeping great time! The size may be a little bulky for a petite woman. I have found it to have an elegant look and have chosen not to shorten the wristband, leaving it loose as a bracelet. I alternate it with my white ceramic watch, which was considerably more expensive, so it's the best of all worlds at a great price.I have been watching for any scratching since I wear it under all kinds of circumstances, but to date, it remains unmarred and beautiful. This is a good choice for those who like to make a fashion statement with something just a little different than the norm and at a reasonable price!

The new complex will include an air passenger terminal, dormitory for the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Marines, six new fire truck bays and new office space. Construction is expected to be completed by September 2014.
"This project was awarded to the dck-ecc team last year and we recently completed the design phase of this design-build contract for NAVFAC (Naval Facilities Engineering Command) Hawaii," said Eric Tessem, dck pacific senior vice president and general manager. "Now with construction activities ready to begin, we are confident that our project team will be successful inconstructing state-of-the-art, sustainable, and highly functional facilities for the Marines and sailors at MCBH."
The partnership combines the talents and resources of dck pacific and Environmental Chemical Corporation, and was created specifically to complete complex, large design-build projects in Hawaii and throughout the Pacific. This award represents dck-ecc's fourth project as a partnership. dck-ecc is currently constructing a $128 million contract for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at South Range, Schofield Barracks.


text: New Business Startups Declined in 2011, Annual Kauffman Study Shows Release Date: 3/19/2012 Contact: Rossana Weitekamp, 516-792-1462, firstname.lastname@example.com Levy, 646 660 8641, firstname.lastname@example.com, Goldin SolutionsBarbara Pruitt, 816-932-1288, email@example.com, Kauffman Foundation New Business Startups Declined in 2011, Annual Kauffman Study Shows The Kauffman Index shows that, despite a drop from 2010, U.S. startup activity remains above pre-Great Recession levels (KANSAS CITY, Mo.), March 19, 2012 – Entrepreneurship is alive and well in the wake of the Great Recession, although the rate of new business creation dipped during 2011 and startup founders remained more likely to fly solo than employ others. That's the big take away from the "Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity," a leading indicator of new business creation in the United States published annually and released today by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. The 2011 Index shows a 5.9 percent drop from 2010 with approximately 543,000 new businesses created each month during the year, or 0.32 percent of American adults per month in 2011. This remains among the highest levels of entrepreneurship over the past 16 years. The quarterly employer firm rate also remained essentially flat from 2010 to 2011 at 0.11 percent. "The Great Recession has pushed many individuals into business ownership due to high unemployment rates," said Robert Litan, vice president of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation. "However, economic uncertainty likely has made them more cautious, and they prefer to start sole proprietorships rather than more costly employer firms. This 'jobless entrepreneurship' trend negatively effects job creation and the larger economic recovery." Capturing new founders in their first month of significant business activity, the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity provides the earliest documentation of new business establishment across the country. The percentage of the adult, non-business-owner population that starts a business each month is measured using data from the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS), conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition to this overall rate of entrepreneurial activity, the Kauffman Index presents separate estimates for specific demographic groups, states and select metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). It provides the only national measure of business creation by specific demographic groups. The 2011 data allow for an update to annual reports dating back to 1996. Interactive data spanning all 16 years is available at www.kauffman.org/kiea. Entrepreneurship rates for all races and ethnicities declined from 2010 to 2011. The Latino business-creation rate declined from 0.56 percent in 2010 to 0.52 percent in 2011, but remained at a high level relative to previous years and other demographic groups. The Asian entrepreneurial activity rate also decreased from 0.37 percent in 2010 to 0.32 percent in 2011. Entrepreneurship growth was highest among 45- to 54-year-olds, rising from 0.35 percent in 2010 to 0.37 percent in 2011. The youngest group (aged 20 to 34) also showed a slight increase. In contrast, the 35- to 44-year-old and 55- to 64-year-old groups experienced declines in entrepreneurial activity rates from 2010 to 2011. "Entrepreneurial activity rates reflect changing demographics," said Robert W. Fairlie, the study's author and director of the master's program in applied economics and finance at the University of California, Santa Cruz. "Despite a slight decline in entrepreneurial activity rates this year, the share of new 55- to 64-year-old entrepreneurs has risen from 14.3 percent in 1996 to 20.9 percent in 2011 due to an aging U.S. population." Geographically, entrepreneurial activity rates decreased in all U.S. regions except the Northeast, which experienced a slight increase. Rates remain highest in the West and lowest in the Midwest. Among states, Arizona had the highest entrepreneurial activity rate, with 520 per 100,000 adults creating businesses each month during 2011. Rounding out the top five highest rates were Texas (440 per 100,000 adults), California (440 per 100,000 adults), Colorado (420 per 100,000 adults) and Alaska, with 410 businesses started per 100,000 adults. The states with the lowest rates of entrepreneurial activity were West Virginia (150 per 100,000 adults), Pennsylvania (160 per 100,000 adults), Hawaii (180 per 100,000 adults), Illinois (200 per 100,000 adults), Indiana (200 per 100,000 adults) and Virginia (200 per 100,000 adults). Other key findings for 2011 include: • Both immigrant and native-born entrepreneurial activity declined slightly in 2011; however, immigrants remained more than twice as likely to start new businesses as were the native-born. • Entrepreneurial activity decreased slightly for both men and women. For men, the entrepreneurial activity rate decreased from 0.44 percent in 2010 to 0.42 percent in 2011, reversing an upward trend over the past few years. The female entrepreneurship rate decreased from 0.24 percent to 0.23 percent. • The Latino share of all new entrepreneurs rose from a little more than 10 percent in 1996 to 22.9 percent in 2011, reflecting longer-term trends of rising entrepreneurship rates and a growing share of the U.S. population. The Asian share of new entrepreneurs also rose substantially from 1996 to 2011, but remains relatively small at 5.3 percent. The white share of new entrepreneurs declined during this time period, while the African American share increased slightly. • By industry, construction had the highest entrepreneurial activity rate at 1.68 percent, continuing an upward trend over the past several years, followed by the services industry at 0.42 percent. The manufacturing startup rate was the lowest among all industries, with only 0.11 percent of non-business owners starting businesses per month during 2011. • The entrepreneurship activity rate among the least-educated group (high school dropouts) decreased from 0.59 percent in 2010 to 0.57 percent in 2011 but remains significantly higher than for groups with other educational levels. The largest decrease in entrepreneurial activity occurred for college graduates. • Among the United States' 15 largest metropolitan statistical areas, Los Angeles had the highest entrepreneurial rate (580 per 100,000 adults) in 2011. Chicago and Detroit had the lowest rates at 180 per 100,000 adults.

Do you wake up each morning with the knowledge that you are about to use the day to do something you love? In the evening, do you go to bed feeling fulfilled and satisfied that you spent the day doing work that was meaningful to you and utilized your own gifts and passions?
If not, you're not alone—according to an international Gallup poll, less than 20% of respondents strongly agreed that they enjoyed what they did each day. To investigate the impact of this phenomenon, Gallup researchers Tom Rath and Jim Harter studied the health and wellbeing [2] of a group of 168 people through the course of a normal workday. As you might have expected, those who reported feeling engaged with their work had higher levels of happiness and less stress [3] than those who reported feeling disengaged.
Dr. Jonas Salk pointed out that having a purpose in life is essential for all living things, saying, "To become devoted to a calling, to have a sense of responsibility and to have hopes and aspirations are all part of being human. To have no calling, no sense of responsibility, no hopes or aspirations, is to be outside of life."
People who report feeling engaged at work may agree that their work pursues a calling. A calling:
For some people, work is simply a job, a source of income, perhaps even a source of stimulation and reward, but unrelated to their broader purpose. For other people, their job or career is closely interwoven with their life purpose—it is a vocation, perhaps rooted in the notion of service. As described by Frederick Buechner, "Vocation is where our greatest passion meets the world's greatest need."
Your calling may not necessarily be your job—it may be a hobby, raising a family, charity work, or a way of relating to and helping others—but as purpose often extends broadly into all aspects of life, it will likely engage with your work as well.
For those who want to integrate career with life purpose, it is not enough to simply long for more meaningful work. As Nicholas Weiler argues in Your Soul at Work, you need to clearly define what you are looking for and then persistently seek it. As he says, "Fulfilling careers seldom happen by chance. People who find personally meaningful vocations do so because they assume responsibility for their journeys."
This doesn't mean you need to run out and switch careers. Pursuing meaningful work may simply mean integrating your gifts and passions into the job you do have—for example, volunteering to organize an office recycling program or charity drive.
According to Richard Leider, the equation for purpose is G + P + V = P.
That's gifts + passions + values = purpose.
Fewer things are sadder than watching a person with potential waste their life without using their gifts. Many of us have gifts hidden away that we are not fully expressing. We may have overlooked them, or we may use them so frequently and effortlessly that we take them for granted, and so they go unappreciated. Yet, when we name these gifts we find them to be critical to a life of energy and vitality.
Ask yourself these two questions:
Your gifts will arise in the responses that answer both questions—after all, you probably have a long list of things you're good at, but don't enjoy doing. A true gift is something you can give back to the world with ease and pleasure.
Your calling will engage both your mind and your heart—your natural gifts and the issues you care about most. Your passions will reveal where you want to direct your energy and guide your goals.
Ask yourself:
When your life and work decisions are based on your gifts and passions, the power of purpose emerges, bringing alignment, energy, flow, and aliveness.

Students Making a Difference: The Cat Whisperer
LA CRESCENT, Minn. -- Most non-profit organizations depend on the help of volunteers to make what they do possible. And this month's Student Making a Difference is someone who helps fill that role for the La Crescent animal rescue.
La Crescent High School Junior Bridget Krage is in her 8th year of volunteering at the animal rescue.
She got involved after hearing the founder of the animal rescue speak to her girl scout troop in 4th grade. Her family then volunteered to be a foster home for a cat and they have been doing it ever since.
Now, Bridget helps with everything from cleaning the cat room to working with new cats that come in. She's even earned the nickname, "The Cat Whisperer."
"I'm able to work with the feral cats, like the ones that claw you and bite you when you try to pet them. So I tame them and that's kind of how I got the nickname," said Bridget Krage, La Crescent High School Junior.
Bridget just recently returned from a trip volunteering at the largest animal shelter in the world in Utah. She says the reason she does it is easy. "Because I love animals and it's really satisfying seeing them adopted and going to good homes," said Bridget.
And Bridget says she definitely wants to do something with animals when she gets older, maybe an animal behaviorist or something with rehabilitation.

SCOTLAND 18 IRELAND 30 at Meggetland, Edinburgh
Ireland pulled off a fine win in Edinburgh thanks to a dominant first half which saw them post four tries all down the right - two to Tim Bergin and two to veteran Stuart Littler – to take a commanding 22-0 lead at the break.
And when Callum Casey scored three minutes into the second-half, it presented Scotland with an insurmountable challenge although the Bravehearts lived up to their name, fighting to the last.
Rain drove in for an hour before kick off, which cut up the Meggetland pitch by the end of the warm-ups, the Scottish capital staging a rugby league international for the first time.
Scotland coach Dave Rotheram, taking the team for Head Coach Steve McCormack, handed debuts to four youngsters: Leeds hooker Liam Hood, 20, teenage Wigan wide-man Shae Lyon-Fraser, and 21 year old twins Jonathan and Adam Walker off the replacement bench.
It was a far stronger Scotland side than that which beat Ireland in Glasgow last year, but still included seven players aged 22 or under.
Ireland, too, were more experienced, with Warrington Wolves loose forward Tyrone McCarthy the stand-out name while coach Mark Aston gave debuts to six players and caps to John O'Donnell and James Mendeika, who both played in the non-capped game against England Knights.
The opening was cagey but once Ireland found a way through they dominated. On 14 minutes, Bergin touched down inside the flag before going off to have a head wound stitched.
By the time he returned, Littler had doubled Ireland's lead. Bergin then scored again, swiftly followed by Littler once more as Liam Finn and James Meneika targeted Scotland's left side of defence.
"Credit to the players," said coach Mark Aston. "They found a weakness and shot it to pieces." Finn's three goals extended the lead, as Ireland camped in Scotland's half and the Bravehearts failed to complete their sets.
The home side needed to score first after the break but when Casey raced in to make it 26-0 and Finn goaled, it appeared to be a matter of how many Ireland would score, their only further points, however, being a Finn penalty after the hosts had threatened a comeback.
Scotland fought back well, reversing the pattern of the first half with continued possession in Ireland's half, mostly as a result of some fine forward play.
That pressure brought three tries: the lively Ben Fisher got a touch to his own grubber kick after it was fumbled; Mitch Stringer capped an excellent display with a try just after the hour and substitute Callum Cockburn touched down Fisher's bomb and David Scott kicked his third conversion to make it 18-30.
But there were only six minutes left and Ireland held out for an impressive victory.

Hi once again this is David from the cockpit or my office sharing with you A simple strategy article review showing us that working for yourself is not about your own success but it is about working for others and so enjoy the links. But first, thanks to everyone on tonight's TPP/GIVE TIL RICH call. Since cash is truly about CASH and since CASH is the best thing ever for the holidays this program is more popular than ever. Recording: 712 432-0211, pin 330231#, pause and # again...
A SIMPLE STRATEGY : An email from a long time friend a few days ago reminded me success from home is not just about bugging people to buy something:
"Dave, once again I want to thank you for your emails. I look forward to them every evening because you don't just write about programs or try to get people to join. You write about your family and your brother the anti-entrepreneur, and your travels and lots of interesting stuff. And you answer questions and share the thoughts of others. I don't know anybody else who does what you do, so thanks and have a great holiday. Karen."
Karen reminds me of something I was told long ago in a sales training class:
When I get one of those (disgusting) robo-calls (several times a day) they always begin with something really flashy like, "I heard you are looking for extra income ....". Well, how personal is that! I have no idea what they say next because I have no reason to care, and because they are intruding in my life.
It is painfully obvious to me THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ME; THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MY WALLET.
On the other hand, when someone receives my regular emails and finds information, perspective and/or insights, he/she might read just for information.
I have people who have been reading my emails for years without enrolling in my programs.
I also have people who have enrolled with me strictly because of my information approach. In fact, I recently had an email from someone who said he has been solicited by several people for a program but the first thing he did was go to my website to see if I was in it, "Because I trust you."
Think about this as you do your planning for 2014: LET PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE A REAL PERSON INTERESTED IN SUCCESS FOR EVERYONE and you will have a new perspective on your race to success.
Nothing wrong with 'humanizing" yourself to prospects.
P.S. VANGUARD call Wednesday, 6 p.m. Pacific, 9 p.m. Eastern, 641 715-3200, pin 659663# David Collier http://myvgv.com/dvidcllr Listen to 712-432-0211 Pin:330231 # Key then # Again. My call to action for you is to visit here often http://myvgv.com/dvidcllr

My DD never would take a bottle... she did like the sippy cups that don't have the regulating thing in them, though... She essentially went straight from breast to sippy cup. And she's not the only child I've met who did this.
So, if she's willing to take the sippy cup, go with it!
As for the solids thing... the American Academy of Pediatrics says exclusive breastmilk or formula for 6 months... but many pediatricians don't follows those guidelines and encourage moms to start giving solids at 6 months. There are specific things you want to be looking for in your baby before you give solids. Here's a great online article from LLL about starting solids:

UCONN Huskies Basketball 2015-2016 News and Updates
2014-2015 Season
3/9/15 - The Connecticut Huskies ended their regular season with a 17-13 record, which isn't exactly what they were hoping for. Being beaten their last regular season game by the Temple Owls puts them in a tough position for the upcoming AAC tournament. For the defending national champions they have to win four games in a matter of four days in order to make it back the "Big Dance." They have the talent and heart to achieve this goal and are going to do everything they can to make it happen. For session one, Connecticut Huskies basketball faces off against University of South Florida on March 12, 2015. UConn finished the season ranked number six, while USF was ranked number eleven, leaving everything up to how well the game is played. Don't miss the action and purchase your tickets starting at $13 a piece.

3/5/15 - After an 81-73 victory over SMU on Sunday, the Connecticut Huskies basketball team will be looking to extend their three game winning streak in their final two games in regular season. Rodney Purvis, a redshirt sophomore, scored 28 points against SMU, helping the team to a season-high number of points. It was also the first time the team has beat SMU, and the first time this season they have won against a ranked team. On Thursday night, they face Memphis at home, which will also be their Senior Night. The team will honor five members of the team, including Manager Colin Oehrle, head manager Nick Blanco, Dan Guest, Pat Lenehan, and Bryan Boatright. Their final game will be away against the Temple Owls, with tickets starting at $27.
2/23/15 - Currently sporting a 15-11 record, the Connecticut Huskies are hoping to put some wins together in order to end their season on a good note. Their last game, which took place this past Sunday, went great against Tulane. They ended up winning 67-60, and they made critical shots down the stretch. In their impressive win, Amida Brimah shined. He ended up scoring 19 points with 5 rebounds. Time and time again Brimah found the ball close to the hoop, helping him get off his shots quickly. Another top performer for the Huskies was Ryan Boatright, who ended up scoring 16 points. He shot great from the perimeter, and if he can keep up this type of shooting effort, the Huskies are going to have a lot to be proud of when their season is over. Next up for them is a game against East Carolina, which kicks off tonight and it should be an exciting one for the fans.
2/16/15 - Last Saturday, the Connecticut Huskies took on SMU, who were the 25th ranked team in the nation. They were hoping to dominant the game early, but really struggled on the offensive end. They ended up losing 73-55. It wasn't even close, and it's a tough loss for Connecticut. Ryan Boatright went on to score 19 points with 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Daniel Hamilton, the Huskies' forward, went on to score 13 points. Boatright and Hamilton's efforts were not enough, though. They need to regroup as a team and come back stronger in their next outing. Up next for the Huskies is a game against Memphis, which is certainly a game they are capable of winning if they get some momentum early. Tickets are available now for a low $1.
2/9/15 - The defending National Champion Connecticut Huskies are on Your defending national champion Connecticut Huskies are fighting their way through a deep and talented American conference with the hopes of being able to defend their title against what promises to be an extremely competitive NCAA tournament field. With a strong finish to their conference schedule, the Huskies can still play their way back onto the right side of the bubble. That all starts with the Huskies' upcoming home contest against the Tulsa Golden Wave on Thursday night before they hit the road again with consecutive trips to SMU and Memphis. Come out to the XL Center in Hartford on Thursday night at 7:00 PM to watch Coach Kevin Ollie lead Connecticut Huskies Basketball to victory. Razorgator is your ticket to the game, with seats still available starting at just $33.
2/2/15 - Sporting a 12-9 record, the Connecticut Huskies are looking to turn their season around. They have all of the talent in the world, but at times, they have had mental lapses on the defensive end. They are riding high off a win yesterday, which was against East Carolina. The final score ended up being 65-52. A huge performer for the Huskies on the night was Ryan Boatright, who ended up scoring 23 points. He turned it on in the last two quarters, which really helped the Huskies pull away once and for all. Rodney Purvis also played well, scoring 10 points. Next up for Connecticut is a great game against Tulane, which takes place this upcoming Saturday. Tickets for the game are available now for $10.
1/26/15 - Last Sunday, the Connecticut Huskies took on the South Florida Bulls. It was a close game for all four quarters, but the Huskies did enough at the end to pull away with the 66-53 victory. They looked great, and their passing was extremely crisp. A top performer for Connecticut was Ryan Boatright. He went on to score 28 points with 2 assists. It seemed as if he couldn't miss from long range and right underneath the bucket. If he can keep up his efforts throughout the season, the Huskies can end their season on a good note. Up next for them is a compelling game against Cincinnati. It's a well-matched game that should provide some entertainment for the fans in attendance. Tickets can be purchased right now for a low $6.
1/19/15 - The Connecticut Huskies typically have a hard time with away games and it was no different when they played the Stanford Cardinal on Jan. 17th. The Huskies were only behind by three at the half, but they just could not keep up and ended up finishing the game behind by 13. Perhaps the loss is in part due to their star shooter, Ryan Boatright, who is continuing his slump only scoring seven points this game, with no rebounds or assists. Regardless, they are done with away games for now, so they are in the perfect spot to make a comeback. They play the UFC Knights, who have one more loss than the Connecticut Huskies basketball team, on Jan. 22nd, and then the South Florida Bulls, who have four more losses, on the 25th.
1/12/15 - The Connecticut Huskies basketball team was just starting a winning streak when the Tulsa Golden Hurricane cut it short on Jan. 13. The final score of 58-66 brings the Huskies to 9-6. Daniel Hamilton led with 16 points, Terrence Samuel followed with 12 points, and Amida Brimah added 11. Strangely, the Huskies' best shooter, Ryan Boatright, only got eight points. They have had a rough season so far, but they can relish the fact that they picked up in the late-season, even if they did lose this game. They have still won five of their last seven games, which is not bad at all. Connecticut has to slog through one more away game before returning home to play the UCF Knights on Jan. 22nd. Tickets start at $35.
1/7/15 - The Connecticut Huskies basketball team had a very rough early season, but it looks like they might be gaining momentum. After a strong win against the South Florida Bulls, they have won four of their last five games. They earned a small lead early with the score at 28-24 at the half, but the Huskies really picked up near the end of the game scoring 10 more points than the Bulls to bring the final score to 58-44. More impressive, Connecticut has won all of the games in their away series and now returns to their home court. Hopefully this extra advantage will lead the Huskies to more strong victories going forward. They play the Cincinnati Bearcats next with tickets being available for only $2.
12/30/14 - The Connecticut Huskies basketball team continues to struggle as they are handed one more loss. They were just starting a new winning streak when their game against the Temple Owls ended it, despite the Huskies being so close to victory. After falling behind in the first half, they made an impressive upset at the end of the game to tie up the score. Unfortunately, they only got two points in overtime against the Owls' six to bring the final score to 57-53. This is Connecticut's fifth loss, while they have six wins. All season, steps forwardward have been quickly followed by disappointing losses but the Huskies always play a good game. Their next home game is against the Cincinnati Bearcats on the 10th. Tickets start at just $6.
12/23/14 - After coming up just short against the Duke Blue Devils last week, the Connecticut Huskies basketball team is bringing their momentum back with a strong win against the Columbia Lions (6-4) on the 22nd. The defending champions were ahead by a measly three points after the first half closed, but a whirlwind second saw them score 41 points for a final score of 65-80. Rodney Purvis scored 21 points, tied for his record, and Ryan Boatright scored another 20. Despite the heavy-sided win now, the Huskies are struggling in the season. Now at 5-4, they are just able to hold their heads above water. Hopefully that will change as they prepare to take on the Central Connecticut St. Blue Devils (2-9) on the 28th. If you want to catch this exciting game, tickets are available for $17.
12/15/14 - The Huskies are hoping to continue pulling out of an early season funk, as they face off with no. 2 Duke on Thursday. After three straight losses dropped UConn to 3-3, they got a win over the Coppin State Eagles on Sunday, 106-85. Sophomore center Amida Brimah absolutely took over, scoring 40 points on perfect 13-13 shooting, all while grabbing a game-high 12 rebounds for Connecticut, who improved to 2-2 at home with the win. Senior guard Ryan Boatright added 22 points for UConn, who will face a tough test as they try to hand Duke's Blue Devils their first loss of the season. Razorgator still has great seats starting from $62, but they're going fast—act now, and show your support for Connecticut Huskies basketball!
12/10/14 - The UConn Huskies find themselves in an unfamiliar position after their third straight loss, a 45-44 heartbreaker at home versus Yale last Friday. Jack Montague sank a three-pointer from the corner in the final seconds to lift the Bulldogs to the upset victory, their first over the Huskies in nearly 30 years. Connecticut dropped to 3-3 on the season, as they were out-rebounded by Yale 36-25, including 13 offensive boards for the Bulldogs that allowed them to lead for most of the evening. UConn will look to get back into the win column on Sunday as they host the Coppin State Eagles. Razorgator has great seats available starting at just $16, so come out to the XL Center and show your support for Connecticut Huskies basketball!
12/2/14 - The Connecticut Huskies basketball program has enjoyed decades of winning records, but back-to-back losses have them in danger of falling to .500 for the first time in the Kevin Ollie era. After a 19-turnover outing that led to an upset by unranked West Virginia, UConn suffered a heartbreaking one-point loss to Texas in the final seconds of Sunday's match-up, dropping them to 3-2 on the season and out of the AP Top 25 for the first time since January 2008. The defending champs will look to bounce back at home versus Justin Sears and the Bulldogs, who will enter with a 6-2 record, but have yet to score their first win on the road. Razorgator has great seats starting under $20, so come on out to Gampel Pavilion and show your enthusiasm for UConn Huskies basketball!
11/24/14 - The nationally ranked Connecticut Huskies return to the mainland after competing in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off basketball tournament in San Juan, Puerto Rico. UConn lost 78-68 to West Virginia in the championship game on Sunday night. The 3-1 Huskies will face a tough test as the #10 Texas Longhorns come to town on Sunday, November 30th, with the showdown at high noon. The Yale Bulldogs visit Gampel Pavilion on Friday, December 5th, then the Huskies take on the Coppin State Eagles at the XL Center in Hartford on Sunday, December 14th. Connecticut is led by senior guard Robert Boatright, who is averaging 21 points per game thus far in the season. Buy your tickets today, starting as low as $28, and cheer on the defending NCAA champion Connecticut Huskies!
11/20/14 - One of the top teams in the nation for some time now has been the Connecticut Huskies. They are currently 1-0, fresh off a win against the Bryant Bulldogs. The final score ended up being 66-53, and they controlled the tempo for the entire game. In their win, Ryan Boatright went on to score 24 points. He also had 8 rebounds with 5 assists. He was a driving force for the Huskies, and it was a breakout performance for him. Amida Brimah also had a great game late down the stretch, scoring 12 points and had 5 blocks. He was a powerhouse on the defensive end, which is very promising for the Huskies. Their next match up is against the COFC. They are heavily favored on paper, and if Boatright can keep up his stellar player, victory is well within their reach. Tickets for the game can be purchased now at a price of $90.
11/11/14 - When people think of a dominant team on both the offensive and defensive end in college basketball, the Connecticut Huskies instantly come to mind. Last season, they ended up with a record of 32-8, and were third in the American standings. They will be looking to build off last season, and get their team back to the Sweet 16. This is something fans have come to expect over the last few seasons. Their first game, which takes place on Friday November 14, 2014, will be against Bryant. They are heavily favored going into the game, but they will still need to look sharp. Their starting lineup is relatively young, but they still have a lot of dynamic abilities on the offensive end. In order to come out with a victor, they will need their guards, Terrence Samuel and Sam Cassell Jr. to come up big for them. Tickets for the game are starting out at around $62.
2013-2014 Season
2/7/14 – UConn got their first American Athletic Conference victory against UCF and have been rolling ever since. At 17-5, the Huskies sit in fifth place in the AAC and 18th in the Country. Connecticut was unable to finish the upset against No.7 Cincinnati Thursday, ultimately losing the hard fought matchup 63-58. Shabazz Napier led Connecticut with 16 points and three assists. Lasan Kromah had 13 points, Niels Giffey tallied 10, and Amida Brimah, Ryan Boatright, and Giffey grabbed four rebounds each. The rematch of the top 25 showdown in Connecticut (3/1) is one of five remaining games to be played at XL Center this season. The Huskies finale comes Mar 5 against Rutgers whom UConn defeated two weeks ago in NJ.
1/7/14 - While their women's basketball team has held steadfast onto their No. 1 position, the Connecticut Huskies men's team has hit a few snags in the road that has left them at No. 17. UConn opened up AAC play on New Years Eve with a strong 11-1 record, but their first couple conference outings resulting in two back-to-back losses, one to Houston and one to SMU. The Huskies bounced back from their rough start and defeated the Harvard Crimson, 56-61 yesterday at home, which shot them back into the top 10 of the conference with a 12-3 record. UConn must continue to ride this momentum for the rest of their conference play if they hope to take the AAC by storm. Be there for their biggest match of the year so far, when the Huskies host the Louisville Cardinals on Jan 16, get in for $158.
In his second year as head coach, Kevin Ollie is eager to take his boys to the top. With the postseason ban finally lifted, the Huskies have high hopes of entering the
NCAA Tournament
this season. Ollie replaced the legendary Jim Calhoun just last year, but because the team was ineligible (UConn was penalized due to poor Academic Progress Rates during Calhoun era), he faced light pressure to pull off a winning season. Under Calhoun, UConn won the national title in 2011 for their third NCAA Tournament Championship, and the Huskies are looking to propel themselves into the
Final 4
this season, as all systems are go.
UConn's postseason rush begins on Nov 8 against the
Maryland Terrapins
Barclays Center
. Soon after, they are pitted against in-state rival
(Nov 11), later in the month they will participate in the
2K Sports Classic
Madison Square Garden
(Nov 21 and 22), and then in December they'll host No. 10 Florida in one of the
top non-conference college basketball games
of the season. The Huskies have 18 conference games, beginning with a match against the
Houston Cougars
on New Years Eve. Division opponents, the
Louisville Cardinals
are visiting Gampel Pavilion on Jan 18 and travel to the
KFC Yum! Center
Mar 8 for the last regular season game, when the Huskies try to shake up the reigning AAC Champs.
Lucky Connecticut, their top seven scorers are returning, including their "Big Three": Shabazz Napier, Ryan Boatright and DeAndre Daniels (lead rebounder last season). Fresh faces Terrence Samuels, Amida Brimah and Kentan Facey join the lineup this year, and great things are expected from newbie Facey. Last year, even though UConn knew they were ineligible, the Huskies came up with 20-11 on the season, so fans are excited to see them play with more vigor and vivacity now that the record counts! Watch the Huskies as they try to fulfill high expectations and participate in the first-ever American Athletic Conference Tournament (Mar 12-15)!

Special to The Countywide
AUSTIN – Karnes City's Dontrell Lyons was confident that he and his Badger teammates would rise to the level of competition.
Lyons defended his Class 2A 200-meter dash title in a near-record performance and anchored the Badgers' winning 800-meter relay team Saturday at the UIL State Track and Field Championships at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
Shortly after a disappointing finish in the 400 relay, Phillip Vaughan, Paul Kinney, Kenneth Glenn and Lyons combined to win the 800 relay in a time of 1 minute, 27.02 seconds, edging Rosebud-Lott, which finished in 1:27.67.
The Badgers came into the event ranked fourth among the nine qualifying teams.
"Since we didn't have any competition at all this season, we couldn't run our fastest time," Lyons said. "When I got out on the curve, I knew we had it won."
"We pulled together as a team," Glenn said. "I just had to give Dontrell a little bit of room and let him do the rest."
Rosebud-Lott was second in 1:27.67 and Arp was third in 1:28.56.
The same foursome finished fourth in the 400 relay in a time of 42.17, just missing a medal behind third-place Rosebud-Lott, which finished in 42.04. Newton won the event in 41.70 and Jefferson was second in 41.81.
Phillip Vaughan said that winning the gold medal goes back to a goal the team set at the beginning of the season.
"It felt amazing," he said. "I couldn't stop smiling."
"It was a great accomplishment, especially since I was so young. It didn't feel real, and I thought it was a dream," Paul Kinney said. "My hopes for next year are to return to the State Meet and get more gold medals."
Lyons left little doubt in the 200, grabbing the lead in the curve and finishing in 21.14, which was just 1/10th of a second off the Class 2A record of 21.04 shared by Refugio's Toya Jones and Tatum's Jason Hendrix.
"I ran a little bit faster than I expected," said Lyons, who won last year with a time of 21.66. "I started off smooth and I ran the curve real smooth and faster than I thought I would and I just finished strong."
Lyons came into the event ranked third among the qualifiers.
"I was actually nervous because I knew I would have a lot more competition than I did last year," Lyons said. "I knew I could win as long as I ran hard and worked hard."
In the Class 2A girls 400, Karnes City's Katy Gotthardt finished fifth in 1:00.59. Gunter's Payton Baker won the race in 56.58.
Karnes City's Garrett Willett was seventh in the Class 2A boys pole vault with a height of 13 feet, 6 inches. Big Sandy Harmony's Daveen Murphree win the gold medal by clearing 15-3.
"The community support was unbelievable with many making their way to Austin to support the athletes," said Karnes City High School Track Coach Donnie Dziuk. "I am very proud of these kids, and I thank them for the effort and hard work they put in since February to make this the most memorable year of Track and Field in Karnes City history."

Noonan Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Noonan Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- female pseudo-Turner syndrome
- male Turner syndrome
- Turner phenotype with normal chromosomes (karyotype)
General Discussion
Noonan syndrome is a common genetic disorder that is typically evident at birth (congenital). The disorder is characterized by a wide spectrum of symptoms and physical features that vary greatly in range and severity. In many affected individuals, associated abnormalities include a distinctive facial appearance; a broad or webbed neck; a low posterior hairline; a typical chest deformity and short stature. Characteristic abnormalities of the head and facial (craniofacial) area may include widely set eyes (ocular hypertelorism); skin folds that may cover the eyes' inner corners (epicanthal folds); drooping of the upper eyelids (ptosis); a small jaw (micrognathia); a depressed nasal root; a short nose with broad base; and low-set, posteriorly rotated ears (pinnae). Distinctive skeletal malformations are also typically present, such as abnormalities of the breastbone (sternum), curvature of the spine (kyphosis and/or scoliosis), and outward deviation of the elbows (cubitus valgus). Many infants with Noonan syndrome also have heart (cardiac) defects, such as obstruction of proper blood flow from the lower right chamber of the heart to the lungs (pulmonary valvular stenosis) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Additional abnormalities may include malformations of certain blood and lymph vessels, blood clotting and platelet deficiencies, learning difficulties or mild intellectual disability, failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum (cryptorchidism) by the first year of life in affected males, and/or other symptoms and findings.
Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by abnormalities (mutations) in four main genes: PTPN11 (50%), SOS1 (13%), RAF1 (3-17%), KRAS (less than 5%), with a handful of individuals having a mutation in NRAS, BRAF or MEK2. Noonan-like disorders are found in association with mutations in SHOC2 and CBL.
