text: If Lindsay Lohan can't find a date for the night and Charlie Sheen is not answering his phone, apparently Lindsay Lohan can always count on her ex Ashton Kutcher. Oh yeah, you forgot they had sex a few times. You know, Wilmer Valderrama was first and Ashton came along later. Anyway, according to The Enquirer, Ashton is a walking ATM for Lindsay. She is always asking him for money and he is always giving it to her. Nothing extreme. $1000 here and $1000 there and Ashton knows that despite Lindsay telling him she will pay him back that he knows he is never going to see it again. Hey, at least Ashton knows if he invites Lindsay over she probably won't steal from him. Probably. Now that Lindsay has three guys on rotation though, I think she is doing better financially. At some point though she is going to have to figure out what to do to improve her financial situation permanently.

Mike Duggan elected as next mayor of Detroit
DETROIT (AP) — A former medical center chief has defeated a county sheriff to become the next mayor of financially troubled Detroit.
Unofficial returns showed Mike Duggan leading Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon 55 percent to 45 percent with 99 percent of precincts reporting. Napoleon conceded defeat late Tuesday in a race where he was outspent by Duggan by about 3-to-1 heading into Tuesday's election.
Both candidates had campaigned that a state-appointed emergency manager should leave the city and allow the new mayor to fix Detroit's finances when he takes office in January.
But the reality is that Duggan will have little power under emergency manager Kevyn Orr, who filed in July to take Detroit into bankruptcy.

Question: I recently went to my doctor and felt she looked at her computer more than she looked at me. She asked me questions and then was very busy typing the answers. I somehow felt that I was cared for a little less. At 75, perhaps it is just difficult getting used to something different. Is this unique?
Dear J.D.:
You are keeping company with your physician and her electronic medical records.
This system of record keeping is promoted by the administration with strong bipartisan and industry support, according to a New York Times article, "The Ups and Downs of Electronic Medical Records" by Milt Freudenheim (Oct. 8, 2012).
Freudenheim notes, however, that "Doctors complain the electronic systems are clunky and time-consuming and designed more for bureaucrats than physicians." And, like all computer systems, they can crash.
Additionally, he writes that doctors have noted "They were able to see only half as many patients as usual as they struggled with the unfamiliar screens and clicks." I've heard one physician say she is spending two extra hours a day on this new record keeping.
However, the benefits of electronic records are reported to be enormous, with improved safety and quality of care, convenience for patients and better outcomes in general, according to the New York Times piece.
What was not included in the article was the personal impact on patients as they sit and watch their doctors focus on data entry - which may or may not have anything to do with quality of care but rather the perceived quality of a relationship.
This change in doctor-patient interaction requires some flexibility and adaptation on the part of the patient. We, as patients, have greater responsibility to make sure that our medical conversations include what we believe to be important.
In a series of publications on promoting aging with dignity and independence, The SCAN Foundation, a nonprofit focused on improving health care for seniors, produced a paper on "10 Things to Discuss with Your Doctor," particularly as health needs change with age.
Here are the first five. I've added a bit of information to them:
Schedule well visits: Medicare allows for a wellness visit every year. Don't miss this opportunity.
Discuss your medications: Keep a list of all your medications including prescribed and over-the-counter, herbal remedies and vitamins. Have someone you trust know where you keep the list and share the list with your physician.
If you are prescribed a new medication, ask a few questions: Why is it being prescribed? Does it have side effects, especially in combination with my other medications? Are there foods or activities I should avoid? Should I change the other medications I am taking?
Review your daily activities: Let your doctor know if you are able to do all of the things you need to do. Do you need help with important everyday tasks? If so, you can be connected to services that will assist you.
Discuss falls and ways to prevent them: Falls are the leading cause of injuries among older adults. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that one out of three adults age 65 and older fall each year; less than half talk to their health care providers about it. And for those 65 and older, falls are the leading cause of injury-related death.
Here are three risk factors for falls: problems with medications; changes in vision and balance; and tripping over something - possibly in your home, in a parking lot or on a hiking trail.
Discuss healthy eating and your appetite: It's important to know that you are receiving the right nutrition. Tell your doctor if your appetite has changed or if you are gaining or losing weight. We know that with normal aging, dietary needs and appetites can change. These changes also can indicate a health condition such as diabetes.
Next week, we'll discuss the five remaining points.

These reprints are to celebrate what would have been the eightieth birthday of the novelist B.S. Johnson, who died after slitting his wrists at the age of forty on 13 November 1973. He left (as the obituarists say) a wife and two children. Before his death he had published six novels, which were completed in the course of little more than a decade, and had written one more, which was to have been the first part of a trilogy about his mother's death from cancer. He also left behind a number of plays (many of which were not performed and some of which were unperformable), several TV scripts, an array of polemical essays and some shorter pieces of fiction. Much of this is gathered together, and some of it published for the first time, in Well Done God!

Wells Fargo & Company has received a 2012 Summit Award from United Way in recognition of its outstanding record of volunteer engagement. United Way presented the award to Wells Fargo at the organization's Community Leadership Conference in Nashville on May 3. Wells Fargo was one of six companies, and one of two banks, receiving Summit awards. Wells Fargo received Summit awards in 2005, 2009, and 2010.
"I am proud of the generosity and compassion that our team member volunteers have demonstrated in the work that they do in their communities each year," said Jon Campbell, head of Social Responsibility for Wells Fargo. "Last year alone they volunteered a total of 1.5 million hours to 28,000 organizations; that's an increase of nearly 11 percent over last year. We are honored to have this recognition from United Way, and proud to be a partner with them in the important work that they've been doing in so many communities for so long."
More than 3,200 Wells Fargo Arizona team members volunteered almost 100,000 hours in 2011. "Community support is at the heart of Wells Fargo's Vision & Values and we have had a long history of support for United Way both financially and through team member volunteerism," said Pam Conboy, regional president for Wells Fargo Arizona. "Our team members take great pride in serving their communities and our customers know about our community support, and they tell us it's one of the reasons they choose Wells Fargo."
The United Way Summit Award is part of United Way's Spirit of America and Summit Awards program, the organization's highest national honor. For 20 years the program has recognized corporate citizens that set the example in terms of employee and community engagement. The Summit Awards honor company excellence in three areas: community impact, volunteer engagement, and philanthropic engagement.
"When it comes to investing in communities to create lasting impact, Wells Fargo is a national leader," said Brian Gallagher, president and CEO of United Way Worldwide. "The company and its employees give more than $200 million to nonprofits and are United Way's largest campaign in the U.S. In addition to this incredible generosity, Wells Fargo and its team members have stepped up to give their time as well, providing more than one million volunteer hours to nonprofits large and small in communities across the nation."
United Way is a global network of volunteer-led nonprofit organizations supporting a variety of initiatives that promote education, income stability, and community health.

Illness forces extra cleaning at SHE
"I was notified of this mid-week," Benson said, adding that letters describing illness symptoms were sent home to parents.
The State Health Department was notified and advised school healthcare officials on how to react.
The school went through two thorough cleanings last week before and after school hours and once over the weekend.
Principal Julie Beasley said no new cases have been identified so far this week. "Our attendance is better," she noted.
Teachers are encouraging students to wash their hands more frequently as well, since shigella bacteria passes from hand to mouth.

WATCH: Chris Brown teases new Ariana Grande duet
Listen to Chris Brown on iHeartRadio | Listen to Ariana Grande on iHeartRadio
Days before his misdemeanor trial hearing, Chris Brown has released a teaser video for his duet with Ariana Grande called "Don't Be Gone Too Long." We've seen pictures of the pair intimately dancing, but this is the first time we're hearing the dance anthem.
Chris may be facing incarceration in the near future, but the teaser is 3:26 of Brown freely dancing. It's impressive stuff, but we were on the edge of our seats for a Grande entrance.

Neighbors rally to speak out against Old Village gun shop
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
There was a growing roar of protest coming from a small lane in Mt. Pleasant Sunday afternoon.
More than 20 neighbors of May Lane in the Old Village gathered to voice their concerns with the construction of the Old Village Armory, a gun shop slated to come right in the middle of the neighborhood.
The store is less than a mile away from a school, two churches and just a stone's throw away from Boyd's yard.
"This is home," Virginia Boyd said.
The history of May Lane is etched in the houses and the people of this area. Boyd has lived in this area for more than 80 years and can name who lives in each house and for how long. But, one thing she can't say is why the town would allow a gun shop right in her backyard.
"I was in shock," Boyd said. They didn't have the courtesy to come by, ring the bell and state this is what they were planning."
Some of the neighbors at the peaceful protest admitted that the plan is already in place for the construction of the gun shop. Because of that, some suggested asking the town to build a fence that would allow traffic to enter from Coleman Boulevard and block the neighborhood from the store.
The building permit for the shop was approved back in October. There are no ordinances that dictate where a gun shop can be built. The only establishments that are forced to follow an ordinance are gun ranges, strip clubs and tattoo parlors.
Still, neighbors said the presence of the store will alter the quiet and peaceful essence of the community.
"The attitude with this building here is that anything can happen to the quiet area here, and we aren't going to know the new faces coming into the area," Emery Gathers said.
Participants of the rally signed a petition they plan to present to Mount Pleasant Town Council leaders at its meeting Tuesday night at 6:30.

I need information about...
May 17, 2012 – Five years ago, Matt McMahon took a bite of burger, cooked on the family's backyard grill, and got more than just a bite of hamburger. A tiny piece of grill brush hidden in that bite became lodged inside of the muscle of his esophagus, sending him to the emergency department. Dr. Mark Bickert, Baylor Medical Center in Carrollton, operated on McMahon. "I can only liken this to a needle in a haystack," he said. Learn more about the growing problem that the Consumer Product Safety Commission is leaving up to manufacturers to regulate.
May 9, 2012 – Baylor Medical Center at Carrollton has received the Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Silver Award from TMF® Health Quality Institute, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Texas. Read the press release to learn more.
February 16, 2012 – Cynthia Stuart, MD, comments on a new study released which states children who get more exercise tend to do better in school. Whether the exercise comes as recess, physical education classes or getting exercise outside of school, all improve the ability to do better in school according to the recent international study. The findings, published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, come as U.S. schools in general cut physical activity time in favor of more academic test preparation.
December 19, 2011 – Dr. Julie Thomas, an obstetrician/gynecologist on the medical staff at Baylor Medical Center at Carrollton, answers some frequently asked questions about cervical cancer: Learn more about the screening guidelines for cervical cancer and its possible link to the Human Pappilloma Virus (HPV).
November 3, 2011 – An active lifestyle and a heart healthy diet – it's what many women strive for, but now Japanese study finds both may lead to early menopause. Baylor Carrollton Dr. Cynthia Stuart recalled a patient who exercised a lot and entered menopause when she was just 33. Dr. Stuart called the study interesting and if true may come with certain health benefits. "It doesn't really seem to be a big healthy issue," Dr. Stuart surmised. "Early menopause can actually be protective against some of the reproductive issues, so we can have a reduced risk of breast cancer and uterine cancer with early menopause."
October 3, 2011 – Ramona Raj, endocrinologist on the medical staff of Baylor Carrollton and North Dallas Endocrinology, contributed the following: Women are more likely to suffer from thyroid and autoimmune diseases, which can leave them feeling fatigued or anxious and, in the case of autoimmune diseases, feverish and achy. Too many women may not realize they have these conditions and so don't get the help they need, Raj says.
September 8, 2011 – British researchers reviewed 34 years of data on more than 1 million expectant mothers and found those with uncontrolled asthma were 50 percent more likely to have high blood pressure during pregnancy and 25 percent more likely to have a premature baby. Dr. Nikki Walden, on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton, said asthma is the most common medical condition in pregnancy and the study highlights the need for patients to be monitored closely. "I think it definitely requires counseling with the patient because most of them, especially if someone has mild asthma, may not understand that there can be risks to the baby," Dr. Walden said.
August 10, 2011 – Rupal Chiniwala, MD, was featured in a health segment on channel 33 news about a new law requiring college students to receive the meningitis vaccine. The law, which will go into effect January 2012, is expected to save lives.
June 13, 2011 – Working too many long hours? A European study notes that people who averaged 11 hours a day at work increased risk of heart disease by 67 percent. Chronic, low-level stress does contribute to heart disease according to Baylor Carrollton cardiologist Dr. Vidyasagar Chodimella.
May 4, 2011 – Podiatrist Rick Miller, DPM, offered tips about the pros and cons of today's ultra-high heels in a live interview.
April 26, 2011 – Ear, nose and throat physician Nicole Bryan, MD, was interviewed about tonsil removal procedures that are often done to help kids sleep better. Patient Pierson Carter, 4, said in the interview that he called his swollen tonsils "dinosaur eggs." After the removal of the tonsils Pierson sleeps better and teachers noted improvements at school.
March 25, 2011 – Results from a new study contribute to growing evidence that if one of your parents has Alzheimer's, the chances of inheriting it from your mother are higher than from your father. Baylor Carrollton's Dr. Seema Modi states that if your mother has the illness, it is not an automatic. Many people in the United States and globally are at risk for Alzheimer's. After the age of 85, half of people are showing signs of dementia, so just the odds are high.
March 9, 2011 – Can weight make a difference in a woman's ability to become pregnant? Baylor Carrollton OB/Gyn Julie Thomas, M.D. discussed this with NBC anchor/reporter Meredith Land. Patient and dance instructor Brandye Lewis, who is expecting twins, discussed her fertility issues.
February 22, 2011 – Ear, nose and throat specialist Nicole Bryan, M.D., discusses new guidelines for tonsil removal in children. These guidelines help pediatricians determine which children are best candidates.
February 17, 2011 – Family medicine physician Cynthia Stuart, MD, discussed a new study that indicates weight lifting is a good way to stay physically active and mentally alert. Past research indicated aerobic exercise helped you stay mentally alert; now weight lifting has shown same benefit.
February 9, 2011 – Viruses and bacteria make us sick, not the cold. While it is wise to wear hat and gloves during cold weather, the reality is that viruses cause colds, says Dr. Leigh Galatzan, emergency medicine physician on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton. Cold weather also causes problems with dry eyes according to Dr. Marvin Hsiao, an ophthalmologist on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton.
December 7, 2010 – Dr. Stellman was interviewed in studio on Channel 11 earlier this month. The topic discussed chubby babies and how some parents are placing their children on unnecessary diets, which raise the question of putting the child at risk later in life. Dr. Stellman commented that babies are expected to have some baby fat which is normal during the growth period. The best way to determine if weight is normal is at the doctor's office with your checkup, with your baby, to look at the growth chart.
December 6, 2010 – Having younger kids get sick while attending daycare may not be so bad, according to a recent study. Children develop immunities earlier, so they do not miss school days later due to illness. Dr. Farah Naz, a pediatrician on the medical staff, commented, "When your immune system gets exposed to all the germs it makes antibodies and that will help you when you're four or five years old so when you get exposed to the same germs you already have antibodies and you won't get sick."
November 30, 2010 – According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, problems were found in 99 percent of labels and measuring products in the 200 pediatric, over-the-counter liquid medications tested. An unscientific test conducted by News 8 of pediatric liquid medicine also shows that different devices often measure doses differently. It's not only confusing for parents, Bill Paruolo, M.D., a pediatrician on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton, says it's potentially dangerous for children. "If you're giving something like Tylenol or acetaminophen," says Dr. Paruolo. "Giving too much of that medicine too often, could make a difference." Researchers are calling for standardized measuring devices and directions for all over-the-counter pediatric medicines.
September 13, 2010 – In Texas, the number of parents exempting their children from routine vaccines is growing – from 0.08 percent in 2004 to 0.28 percent (nearly 13,000 kids) last year. According to Cynthia Stuart, D.O., family practitioner on the medical staff at Baylor Medical Center at Carrollton, parents may have unfounded fears about vaccines that could lead to possible outbreaks of preventable diseases, like the measles. "It's a huge health issue, especially from the local health community; however, it can spread beyond that local pod of patients that do get exposed to someone who has traveled outside the country to areas where these are still endemic," says Dr. Stuart.
August 26, 2010 – According to The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health – 90% of people who spend more than three hours per day at a computer complain of computer vision syndrome – commonly referred to as CVS. Marvin Hsiao, M.D., an ophthalmologist on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton, says that overuse of the eyes doesn't cause vision problems it can exasperate them. Dr. Hsiao said many people suffer from vision fatigue. "If you are on one of these devices a lot we don't blink as much as when we are using a cell phone. We're staring at a cell phone or a computer all the time so our eyes become a big problem and can cause eye strain," Dr. Hsiao said.
August 6, 2010 – Women, you aren't the only ones anymore. Up to 25 percent of males have testosterone levels that fall below normal, and in some cases, may cause classic menopause symptoms, according to an article that appeared in Health magazine, a women's health and lifestyle publication reaching 11.7 million online users. But, David Zahaluk, M.D., a family medicine physician on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton, and one of two physicians quoted in the article, says that the increasing trend of treating men for low testosterone levels has perhaps led to inflated estimates about male menopause. While 25 percent of men may have low testosterone levels, only about 5 percent actually experience menopause-like symptoms severe enough to warrant testosterone therapy. And it's not always clear that testosterone is to blame for symptoms that torment 5 percent of men. Dr. Zahaluk recommends a testosterone test as part of an annual physical. Visit www.health.com to read the entire article featuring Dr. Zahaluk.
July 7, 2010 – Lady Gaga-inspired contact lenses are becoming more popular among teens, but wearing contacts without a prescription could have serious consequences. Covering the iris and some of the surrounding white part of the eye, circle lenses make eyes appear bigger. Dr. Marvin Hsiao, an ophthalmologist on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton, discussed the importance of seeing an eye doctor before purchasing corrective or cosmetic lenses in a recent news story on the CW, Channel 33.
May 18, 2010 – CW33 reports that according to a new study, 70 percent of expectant mothers are Vitamin-D deficient. And Dr. Robert Levy, an OB/GYN on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton, says that can increase the risk of preterm delivery and blood pressure problems for mom, and cause respiratory infections and wheezing in children. So what can you do to get more?
January 29, 2010 – Overloaded backpacks are problem among teens. Dr. Monica Beamer, a pediatrician on the medical staff of Baylor Carrollton, isn't surprised and said heavy backpacks are a growing problem. "They are having back pain and they just don't know what it's being caused by, they're not sleeping well at night and that causes problems with attitude during the day, so it's not just a back problem, it's an all-over problem," said Dr. Beamer.
KDAF Ch. 33: Baylor Expert Explains Headaches Caused by 3D Movies January 13, 2010 – Dr. Marvin Hsiao, an ophthalmologist on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton, was interviewed by CW33's health reporter about temporary eye issues caused by viewing 3D movies. Dr. Hsiao says headaches are common for people viewing 3D movies such as Avatar who have a slight alignment problem with their eyes. Minor eye problems, including muscle imbalance can cause a headache and even nausea. Side effects can be especially severe if you are sitting in front of a TV and watching that type of program for a long period of time. The good news? Dr. Hsiao says the symptoms are only temporary and shouldn't cause any long-term damage.
Dr. Farah Naz, a pediatrician on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton, urged parents to make sure children dress warmly on Thursday, January 7. Because of their small size, kids are at greater risk for frostbite and hypothermia. To dress for success in cold weather, bundle up.
KDAF CH. 33: Important to Space Out Pregnancies
December 23, 2009 – Dr. Fred Creutzmann, chairman of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Baylor Medical Center at Carrollton, was featured in a story about a new study that emphasizes the importance of spacing out pregnancies. Dr. Creutzmann commented on the study's findings that new mothers should wait at least 11 months between pregnancies as becoming pregnant too soon could contribute to a high-risk pregnancy. A patient of Dr. Creutzmann's was interviewed and featured in the story as well.
September 11, 2009 – Dr. James Loftin, a pulmonologist on the medical staff at Baylor Carrollton, discussed his views about sleep disorders and the recent study indicating patients who have sleep disorders fare better when sleeping in a colder environment.

Lower your school's costs and simplify IT tasks with Lenovo custom imaging
Building a PC's image — loading all the software and configurations that govern how the computer operates and connects to a set of applications — takes significant time and effort. A well-executed imaging strategy will help schools manage costs and create consistent computing environments for students, teachers and administrators. Yet time devoted to imaging can distract a school's limited IT staff from their No. 1 goal: using technology to help students excel.
That's why many schools are turning to Lenovo for help. Our studies show that, over the lifetime of a fleet of PCs, Lenovo Custom Imaging not only has saved valuable time for our customers, it also has saved them an average of $179 per device.

Canton, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Tony Dungy and Marvin Harrison teamed up to win a Super Bowl together while with the Indianapolis Colts, and the head coach-wide receiver tandem took another step toward the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Thursday.
Thursday's cut trimmed the 25 semifinalists for the 2014 class down to 15.
Harrison and Dungy joined linebacker Derrick Brooks and tackle Walter Jones as the only first-year eligible candidates to reach the final 15.
Returning finalists from the 2013 class included running back Jerome Bettis, wide receivers Tim Brown and Andre Reed, offensive lineman Will Shields, defensive linemen Charles Haley and Michael Strahan, linebacker Kevin Greene, defensive back Aeneas Williams and former 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo.
Kicker Morten Andersen and safety John Lynch rounded out the list of 15 modern-era finalists.
Punter Ray Guy and defensive end Claude Humphrey -- the two previously announced senior nominees -- complete the group of players that will be considered for election.
The Class of 2014 will be determined at the Selection Committee's annual meeting on Saturday, Feb. 1 in New York the day before Super Bowl XLVIII.

Engineers Week activities set for Feb. 21-25
Think you can walk on water?
You just might be able to at the University of South Carolina's College of Engineering and Computing.
During National Engineers Week, Feb. 21-25, the college will open its doors and invite the public to learn about the diversity of the engineering and computing fields. That includes an open house with hands-on activities such as controlling a robot in a game of tag, launching a soda bottle rocket, putting on a laser light show or taking a ride on a Segway powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.
Plus you'll have the chance to try to walk across a pool of water (mixed with a bit of cornstarch).
"Engineers Week is a great opportunity for us to tell prospective students that engineering and computing are wonderful careers that will keep you excited for your entire working life, allow you to travel and meet many different people from all over the world, and allow you to have the greatest impact on the quality of people's lives," said Dr. Tony Ambler, Dean of USC's College of Engineering and Computing.
The week helps spread the word about how engineers and computer scientists can change the world.
"I don't think that the majority of people do know what engineers actually do," Ambler said. "Engineers and computer scientists create and design cool gadgets, they create and build space rockets, aircraft, telephones, power creation and distribution, waste processing, water conservation/cleaning. In fact any facet of our day-to-day lives has been created and provided by engineers,".
"Even our access to the arts has been facilitated by engineers and computer scientists – book production, printing, photography, the Internet. But engineers and computer scientists also develop the technologies so that they can be mass produced and made available at incredibly low cost."
When prospective students visit USC, Ambler said, they will be able to see quickly how the College of Engineering and Computing can help them attain their goals.
"A degree in engineering needs to be taught by faculty who are working at the frontiers of engineering development and research – if they aren't doing this, the undergraduate degrees would not be up-to-date, and you would not be as employable on graduation," he said. "The National Research Council recently published a report analyzing research productivity and program quality of engineering programs across the U.S. It showed that USC's College of Engineering and Computing ranks highly nationally (for example, electrical, 6th; chemical, 29th; mechanical, 31st), but also the highest for any institution in South Carolina."
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Engineers Week (eweek.org), a coalition of more than 100 professional societies, corporations and government agencies. It is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of engineering and technology careers among young students and promoting pre-college literacy in math and science.
The events at USC include a daily "lunch and learn" series open to the public, seminars, an open house for students from kindergarten through 12th grade and a visit by three helicopters. The URS Corp. is the week's special corporate sponsor.
Here are a few of the special events. A full schedule is available at www.engr.sc.edu/eweek.
Feb. 23-24: Helicopters to land on the field next to the Blatt Physical Education Center on Wheat Street, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The South Carolina National Guard is expected to land an Apache-AH 64, a Black Hawk-UH60 and/or a Lakota-LUH72 helicopter on campus. Helicopters will be available for public inspection.
Feb. 24: Open House for K-12 students, 4-8 p.m., Swearingen Engineering Center. The open house will feature several "hands-on" exhibits provided by each of the college's departments and programs, including the following:
Biomedical Engineering
EKG, lungs volume and human arm model, Room A139B, 300 Main St., across the street from Swearingen Engineering Center.
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human monocytes cells available to be seen under the microscope. Room 1B47, Swearingen.
Chemical Engineering
Cornstarch pool. Can you walk on water? Come find out.
Segway rides. Come ride a hydrogen fuel cell-powered Segway.
Fuel cell demonstration. See how the College of Engineering and Computing lights up the board at Carolina's baseball stadium.
Civil and Environmental Engineering
Structural response to simulated earthquakes. Dr. Juan Caicedo's research group will help you understand earthquakes with their earthquake simulator.
Computer Science and Engineering
3D PacMan. Participants will try to earn the highest score in the game developed by one of the department's game design and programming graduate students. A prize will be awarded to the winner.
Robot tag. Participants will have an opportunity to control a robot in a game of tag.
Electrical Engineering
Laser light show. Using speakers as mirror actuators, the user will control the angle of the mirrors with a knob allowing light to bounce and create a pattern.
Shadow activated relay. Learn about motion sensors at this exhibit, which will activate a motor or light when light is blocked.
Xylophone built by three undergraduate students. A programmable logic controller controls outputs to solenoids that manipulate hammers to play keys on a small glockenspiel. A control panel allows for the selection of songs, as well as adjustment of output pulse width or tempo.
Mechanical Engineering
Small demo PEM fuel cell kit. See how hydrogen produced with a solar cell runs the PEM fuel cell.
Soda-bottle rockets competition. Student participants will compete to see who can launch their soda bottle rocket the highest.

So up until now I've been into a bunch of shows like Arrow, Game of Thrones, Doctor who and regrettably the new Beauty and the Beast for a few episodes but it seems as if all these shows have finished up with all their season finales within the same two weeks a little while ago. Since then I've been doing my own thing and I realized I see so many ads for Dexter and I'm like oh classic Dexter what a great show, remember when he......plot twist I haven't actually seen an episode of Dexter ever.
Well I decided to give this show a shot and watched the first two seasons and it's actually not that bad. I were to describe this show in a word it would be tension. SEXUAL TENSION. No actually just tension, and feeling nervous about Dexter being caught out for being a serial killer.
Although I find it absolutely hilarious that this guy hasn't been caught yet. Yeah I know he's been so specifically trained and whatever but Dex just walks in the police station all like YO GUYS JUST HAD A KILLER DAY HAD TO DUMP AND GIRL SHE WAS SO CUT UP, and everyone's like OH DEXTER YOU'RE HILARIOUS
Seriously, he get sooo close to being caught like 20 times he is actually the luckiest serial killer real talk. Anyway, I've just started season 3 and I might as well keep watching cause after all it isn't actually a bad show!
Well that's it for now, have a great day!

Brevard, N.C. - Due to poor field conditions, Brevard College Athletic Director Kim Pate and Head Football Coach Paul Hamilton have decided to adjust the date and the start time of the Youth Football Clinic back to 1:30 p.m., with start time of the BC Spring Football Game occuring at 3 p.m. at Brevard Memorial Stadium, located at Brevard High School on Sunday, April 17th.
The Spring Game at Brevard Memorial Stadium is a stepping stone in the process as the BC Athletic Department is working with the Board of Education to return BC Football home to Brevard, N.C. and Brevard Memorial Stadium.
"I want to thank Superintendant McDaris and Brevard High School Athletic Director, Kerry Putnam for offering the opportunity to play our spring game at the Brevard Memorial Stadium despite us not having all the details sorted out within the contract negotiation for next year," commented Pate. "I am encouraged by the productive conversations that have taken place to bring BC football back to Brevard and feel confident in the willingness of both parties to partner together for the best interest of our community youth and students as it relates to shared facility usage moving forward."
In addition to the Spring Game, Coach Hamilton, the BC football coaching staff and the BC football team will be holding a free youth football clinic to all kids 8th grade and under from 2:30 – 3:15 p.m. The participants will work with the coaching staff and BC players on the proper techniques for the different football positions, as well as other activities.
"Transylvania County's Pop Warner Association would like to express its gratitude for the support of Brevard College and its athletic program on behalf of our staff, parents and most importantly the young players," said Cherie Goldsmith, Transylvania Association President of Pop Warner YMCA of Western North Carolina. "This investment in the youth of our county cannot be measured in dollars as it will serve as a reminder to these kids as they progress that anything is possible. The 2011 Pop Warner season will be kicking off in early August and once again Brevard College has agreed to allow us the use of their grounds and all of us who are affiliated with Pop Warner's Transylvania County Association would like to express our deepest gratitude for the support of Brevard College. We look forward to working side by side with Brevard College again this year."
Additional Spring Football game day activities including face painting, various games, and opportunities to cheer with the BC Cheerleading squad. Concessions and various other offerings will be available.
"Our football team and coaching staff are truly excited about the opportunity to play in Brevard and finish our spring practice at Brevard Memorial Stadium," said Coach Hamilton. "We appreciate all the support we continue to receive from the community and we'll enjoy being back with all of our fans on April 17th."
Admission to the 2011 BC Spring Blue & White Football Game is free and Brevard College hopes all will attend and participate in the many activities planned for the day. Brevard College plans to develop the fun-filled afternoon into an annual community event for all Brevard community members, students and family to enjoy.
Kickoff for the game is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.
For more information on the Spring Game, call the Brevard College Athletic Department at (828) 884-8276, or visit the Tornados website at www.BCTornados.com.

Sjogren's syndrome can be difficult to diagnose because the signs and symptoms vary from person to person and can be similar to those caused by other diseases. Side effects of a number of medications also mimic some signs and symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome.
A variety of tests can help rule out other conditions and help pinpoint a diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome.
Your doctor may order blood tests to check for:
Your doctor can measure the dryness of your eyes with a test called a Schirmer tear test. In this test, a small piece of filter paper is placed under your lower eyelid to measure your tear production.
A doctor specializing in the treatment of eye disorders (ophthalmologist) may also examine the surface of your eyes with a magnifying device called a slit lamp. He or she may place drops in your eye that make any damage to your cornea easier to see.
Certain imaging tests can check the function of your salivary glands.
Your doctor may also want to do a lip biopsy to detect the presence of clusters of inflammatory cells, which can indicate Sjogren's syndrome. For this test, a small sliver of tissue is removed from salivary glands located in your lip and examined under a microscope.

Voracious Bub!
I am aware that one of the signs of hunger is the bub is sucking on his fists; but I don't seem to understand that after feasting from both breasts my son is still sucking on his fists. Is he that hungry?! Is my milk not enough? I am beginning to doubt my supply.
12th April 2014 12:09 AM #2
Dear kimdamycin,
I have a few thoughts on your post. The first is that I think you said in a previous post that your son is around 4 months old. At this age a growth spurt is common. When a breastfed baby goes through a growth spurt they need to feed more frequently (and will show the 'hunger cues') more often in order to raise your breastmilk supply. This normally only lasts for 3-4 days.
Secondly, I wondered if he might be starting to teeth. The average age for a first tooth to come through is 6 months, and many babies do first have a tooth appearing at 4-5 months. A common sign of teething is sucking and chewing on the hands.
Is your son showing any other signs that he is hungry? If he is generally happy and putting on weight ok then it is very unlikely that your milk supply has suddenly become not enough for him. At this age you should still feed him on demand in the day and night to ensure you maintain a good milk supply.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm wishes,

Thank you LJ!
Well, I don't know about growth spurt; but he's been doing that for almost two weeks already. I tried removing his hand from his mouth and he gets angry when I do that.
He's gaining weight at a steady speed, and pees and poops regularly.
Could it be teething? I don't see any cutting through his gums right now.
13th April 2014 05:09 AM #4
If he is gaining weight well and filling his nappy regularly then I really would not be concerned.
Is he generally happy?
Another reason babies put their hands (and other objects) in their mouths at this age is because it is their way of exploring the world in a new way.
Actually babies start to grow the tooth around 4 weeks before it cuts through the gum. This growing of the tooth is actually thought to be more uncomfortable to the baby than the breaking through of the tooth.
But whatever the reason I would not be concerned if he is gaining weight well, pooing and weeing regularly and generally happy.
I hope this helps.

Hello LJ,
Yes my bub is happy and very active; but if my son is really into exploring his world through his hands, shall I let him suck on his fists as long as he wants? I am worried he may keep the habit until he grows older; plus the drool is beginning to irritate his skin, rashes are beginning to develop.
14th April 2014 04:53 AM #6
Most children stop this way of exploring things once they are able to explore in other ways (through crawling and with fine motor skills etc). Drooling is often a sign of teething. If the rashes are on his neck you could use a bib or similar to catch most of the drool.
It's difficult to stop your baby from sucking their fists anyway!

Hello LJ,
Yes as experienced, it is very difficult to stop my bub from sucking his fists! Oh well, I guess I just have to wait for this phase to pass. As long as he breastfeeds well, I don't think this should be a problem.
Thank you, LJ, for taking your time to reply to this post. This was very helpful.

You are most welcome. Do let me know how things progress.

Lyrics: Traditional (Mississippi John Hurt)
Music: Traditional (Mississippi John Hurt)
Not to be confused with the Hunter/Garcia song "Casey Jones." This is a traditional song, with Jerry playing the version recorded by Mississippi John Hurt.
The Dead played this song in some acoustic sets in 1970, and Jerry played it with the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band as well as with John Kahn and David Grisman. This is the version Jerry played with the Dead and the JGAB:
Casey Jones was an old engineer (note 1)Notes
Called for his fireman, tonight he will fear
All I need is my water and coal
Look out the window, see my driving wheel roll
One Sunday morning, in the driving rain
Around the bend came a passenger train
In the cabin stood Casey Jones
Noble engineer but he's dead and gone (note 2)
Mrs Casey when she heard the news
Sitting on her bedside, she was lacing up her shoes
Children, children now hold your breath (note 3)
You will draw a pension at your Papa's death
Children, children now get your hat
Tell me Mama what do you mean by that?
Get your hat, put it on your head
Go down town, see your daddy is dead (note 4)
Casey said before he died
Fix the blinds so that the bums can't ride (note 5)
If they ride, let them ride the rods
Put their trust in the hand of God
Casey said just before he died
Two more roads that I want to ride
People said, what roads can they be?

I woke up this mornin', four o'clockMore on 'blinds' and 'rods'
Mister Casey told his fireman, get his boiler hot
Put on your water, put on your coal
Put your head out of the window, see my drivers roll
See my driver roll
Put your head out of the window, see my driver roll
Lord, some people say that Mister Casey couldn't run
Let me just tell you what Mister Casey has done
He left Memphis, it was quarter to nine
Got to Newport News, it was dinnertime
It was dinnertime
Got to Newport News, it was dinnertime
I've sold my gin, I've sold it straight
Police run me to my woman's gate
She comes to the door, she nod her head
She made me welcome to the foldin' bed
To the foldin' bed
Made me welcome to the foldin' bed
Lord, the people said to Casey "You're runnin' over time"
"You'll have another loser with the one-o-nine"
Casey said, "This ain't in mind
I'll run it in close just to make my time"
Said to all the passengers, "Better keep yourself hid
Naturally gonna shake it like Chainey did"
Like Chainey did
Naturally gonna shake it like Chainey did
Mister Casey run his engine within a mile of the place
Number four stared him in the face
The depot told Casey "Well, you must leave town"
"Believe to my soul I'm Alabama bound"
"Alabama bound"
"Believe to my soul I'm Alabama bound"
Missus Casey said she dreamt a dream
The night she bought her sewin' machine
The needle got broke, she could not sew
She loved Mister Casey, 'cause she told me so
Told me so
Loved Mister Casey, 'cause she told me so
There was a woman name Miss Alice Fry
Said, "I'm gonna ride with Mister Casey 'fore I die"
I ain't good looking but I take my time
A rambling woman with a rambling mind
Got a rambling mind
Casey looked at his water, water was low
Looked at his watch, his watch was slow
On the road again
Natural born Eastman on the road again
Lord, there's people tell by the throttle moan
The man at the fire's Mister Casey Jones
Mister Casey Jones
Mister Casey said, before he died
One more road that he wants to ride
People tells Casey, "Which road is he?"
"The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
Santa Fe"
This mornin' I heard someone was dyin'
Missus Casey's children on the doorstep cryin'
Mama, mama, I can't keep from cryin'
Papa got killed on the Southern line
On the Southern line
Papa got killed on the Southern line
"Mama, mama, how can it be
Killed my father and you weren't the first to grieve?"
"Children, children want you to hold your breath
Draw another pension from your father's death
From your father's death"
On the road again
I'm a natural born Eastman on the road again
Tuesday mornin', it looked like rain
Around the curve came a passenger train
Under the boiler lay Mister Casey Jones
Good old engineer, but he's dead and gone
Dead and gone
On the road again
I'm a natural born Eastman on the road again
I left Memphis to spread the news
Memphis women don't wear no shoes
Had it written in the back of my shirt
Natural born Eastmen don't have to work
Don't have to work
I'm a natural born Eastman, don't have to work
Once he had climbed on board, in itself a very dangerous task, a hobo would try and make his way to the 'blinds' if he could. These were the baggage cars next to the tender, which were 'blind' having no end door so the conductor or railroad police could not walk through the train to the first vehicle, behind the locomotive. Hence it was a relatively comfortable safe haven. More dangerous, but out of sight and unreachable by the railroad workers, was to perch on the brake rods that ran beneath the freight cars. Risking his life he might try to worm his way across these, finding a means of balancing precariously there, or he might carry a small board to throw across the rods and then lie on it in the narrow gap between them and the underneath of the rail car.

Canceled Soap Operas to Return
Were you one of those people who mourned the end of an era when 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live' got the boot last year?
Like one of many soap opera characters that somehow come back to life (Daisy? Kendall? Greenlee?), these two legendary shows are back!

George Bernard Shaw described life in startling terms when he wrote in one of his plays: "The lives which have no use, no meaning, no purpose, will fade out.

As a result, many of us feel relentless pressure to justify our existence or perish. So we try to establish our value by making more money, enhancing our sex appeal, gaining more influence, or improving our image. But despite our attempts to prov

kamma and the pāramīs
In a prison cell lived four men. The first was ignorant and lazy, the second was ignorant and hard working, the third was skilful and lazy, and the fourth was skilful and hard working. Each had the possibility to work and earn a little money.
The lazy ignoramus had a thoroughly miserable existence; he did nothing at all during the day, was terribly bored and never obtained anything more than the bare minimum for his subsistence.
The hard-working ignoramus enjoyed a more comfortable life, because his work allowed him extra food and small treats such as a bottle of wine or magazines.
The skilful lazy person did not have a very pleasant existence. As he did not put any effort in his work, he did not earn the money needed to buy things that would have allowed him to enjoy a better quality of life. However, knowing how to think, he suffered less than the lazy ignoramus, because he knew how to manage his condition better. Thus, he succeeded more easily in being satisfied with little. However, his incorrigible laziness eventually prevented him from thinking properly.
The skilful worker was competent in his work. Knowing how to think properly, he knew how to manage his money wisely. He learnt to content himself with little to save most of the money he earned. He had nothing good to drink or eat, or pleasant readings to offer himself. Nevertheless, after a while, having endured the necessary time, he was able to pay off the bail to get out of prison.
To make the analogy of this story, we can say that:
The prison represents the continual dissatisfaction of existence (dukkha), with its "ups and downs", the cycle of rebirths (saṃsarā).
Ignorance represents ignorance.
Skill represents wisdom.
Laziness represents the lack of motivation to cultivate wholesome actions.
Work represents effort (the effort to develop and maintain what is beneficial, the effort to practice properly).
The money represents the consequence of positive actions, merit (kusala).
The release represents liberation (from any form of dissatisfaction).
Conclusion: To develop merit, it is necessary to perform positive actions, to make efforts of generosity, honesty and concentration.
Nevertheless, if this is done with ignorance, merit will be badly used and, so to speak, "wasted". Thus, it remains profitless. For this merit to be beneficial, it must be cultivated with wisdom, that is, positive actions should be performed with the intention to take care of and develop the dhamma (for one's own progress and that of others).
Comment: More than positive actions, the more profitable actions are simply abstinences from destructive or worthless actions.
This explains why it is essential to understand clearly the actions that we perform and know how we have to carry them out if we wish them to be really profitable.
The prison story also shows us that wisdom is useless without effort, which is indispensable for the development of wisdom. Thus, only the development of pāramīs does allow us to progress on the path to liberation, at whatever level one may be.
If someone benefits from all the elements which allow him (her) to make of his (her) existence a training in the dhamma (birth as human being, in a favourable environment, in a place and time when the teaching of a Buddha (sāsana) is accessible, understanding the value of such a training, urge to embark in it, lack of serious obstacles such as a poor health, etc.), this means that he (she) has already developed numerous pāramīs in the past. If, besides these conditions, someone devotes himself (herself) with ease to "meditation" (training into satipaṭṭhāna), it means that he (she) has developed even more pāramīs. If a person opts for the life of renunciation by joining, in a most natural way, the monastic community (saṃgha), it means that even more pāramīs have been developed. Finally, when our pāramīs reach complete maturity, we cannot but experience nibbāna, the cessation of all suffering.

To me personally, that's the key point right there.
The Buddha taught the paramis individually, because individually they're consistent with the Noble Eightfold Path - but he himself did not collate them as paramis or set them out as an integrated path of training.
For people in the modern world who are wrestling with the issue of how to practice the Dhamma in daily life, the perfections provide a useful framework for developing a fruitful attitude toward daily activities so that any activity or relationship undertaken wisely with the primary purpose of developing the perfections in a balanced way becomes part of the practice.

If you are a parent or educator who is in search of engaging activities for kids who have been diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), you may want to consider spending more time outside the home or classroom and adding building or construction toys to your kid's toy box. While some research has shown that kids with ADHD can stay engaged while playing video games, there is some concern that the repetitiveness of these games may actually encourage ADHD.
This chicken or the egg scenario along with other potential issues resulting from too much overall screen time has people who care for ADHD kids looking for different solutions. Just look at how many "screens" we all encounter on a daily basis. In the old days, the only screen we had time with was a television or the occasional movie screen. Move forward to today and we have desktops, laptops, notebooks, portable DVD players, tablets and smart phones. Yikes!
Fun with Activities Outside the Home
If your kids are spending too much time watching TV or playing video games, start planning more activities outside of the home. Children with ADHD can benefit from engaging in sports and other physical endeavors. Try to find activities and sports that:
- Have little downtime and keep the child moving. Sports that come with a lot of time on the bench might not be the best option.
- Require concentration and focus and the child can get totally immersed in playing. Martial arts programs are a good example here.
- Might occur on a regularly scheduled basis. This could include scheduled program time and outside practices.
- Offer specific challenges and/or goals. Competitive swimming or track would be good examples here, where fastest times and distance are key factors.
Depending on the child's interests, talk with them about some of the programs and activities that are available in your community and start with one that they are interested in trying.
Find Cool, New Construction Toys
Building and construction toys have come a long way from wooden blocks and TinkerToys – just check out the latest Laser Pegs® kits! But why are building toys – old and new – beneficial for kids with ADHD? Staying focused can be a challenge for those who suffer from ADHD, so they are drawn to activities that allow them to focus on a single task. Construction toys allow them to do that, because they are focused on building a specific thing, making them one of the best toys for kids with ADHD.
Construction and building toys also require that your brain and hands are working together at the same time, which can help improve concentration. Laser Pegs® kits really take building toys to a whole new level. Most of our kits come with multiple configurations, so a child has many different toys to create. Plus, we encourage kids to build their own unique creations – which ups the challenge factor. On top of that, all of the Laser Pegs® pieces light up once connected, which kids think is pretty cool!

Eleven veterans from four wars gunners to medics were honored in a dignified ceremony at the University of Utah Friday, but perhaps the most moving moment was when 45-year-old Gordon Ewell walked to the dais.
The lone veteran honored for service in this century's two wars, Ewell, of Eagle Mountain, walked haltingly with a wooden cane in one hand and a red and white cane for the blind in the other.
Ewell, a Utah National Guardsman originally from Emery County, served one tour in Iraq, from December 2005 to November 2006, but accomplished and risked more than most do in a lifetime.
A combat engineer and demolition specialist, he went on 59 missions with various teams, training them to clear routes of roadside bombs and eventually writing a training manual for use by soldiers throughout the Army.
Many of the missions were at night and included exchanging fire with the enemy. His teams usually found 15 to 18 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to explode, and sometimes the bombs found them.
Seven times, he was injured in explosions, including once when several teeth were knocked through his cheek.
"The last one was one more than my body could take," Ewell said Friday, after exchanging greetings with a long line of well-wishers after the ceremony.
He suffered a traumatic brain injury, lost hearing in his left ear and nearly all of his vision. He had broken vertebrae and has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome.
But he would do it all over, saying there isn't an "inch" of American soil that is not worth his sacrifice. "Even knowing every injury that's happened to me, I wouldn't think once [about not going.]"
Another Utah National Guardsman was honored formally Thursday night as the University of Utah's student veteran of the year. Brent Taylor, of North Ogden, is finishing his master's degree this semester and has begun work on a doctorate in international studies. He joined the Guard in 2003 and served two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.
Friday's 14th annual ceremony was made solemn by a lone bagpiper playing "Amazing Grace," a bugler playing taps and a 21-cannon salute outside on the snowy lawn adjacent to the U.'s Union Building. Each of the 11 veterans received an honorary medallion.
The last veteran to take the dais, Clyde E. Weeks Jr., was thrilled to give another World War II honoree, Paul Smith, a pat on the back, saying, "He saved my life!"
Weeks was a Marine telephone lineman during the invasion of Guam and was struck by a Japanese grenade that sent 22 pieces of shrapnel into his body.
"He came with a stretcher and a buddy," he said, gesturing to Smith.
Smith, a Marine medic, said it's unlikely he was the one to save Weeks, although "It was kind of him to say that." Smith was 20 miles away, on another part of the island, caring for hundreds of injured U.S. servicemen, he said.
The eight other men honored Friday were:
Gilchrist "Gil" Booth (Army, World War II), Richard Lee Burns (Air Force, World War II and Korea), Charles R. Hughes (Army, World War II), Joseph Stobbe (Army, World War II), James Hoyt Andrews (Marine Corps, Korea), Richard S. Dixon (Army, Vietnam), Kimel "Kim" Fisher (Army, Vietnam), and Edwin B. HerrNeckar (Army, Vietnam).

Spurs Douse Suns
San Antonio, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - After struggling through three quarters, Tony Parker was perfect in the fourth.
Parker netted 15 of his 20 points in the final frame, including a go-ahead jumper with 31.9 seconds left, to lift the San Antonio Spurs to a 99-96 triumph over the Phoenix Suns.
Parker was 2-of-8 from the field through the first three stanzas but made all seven of his shots in the fourth. He scored 15 of San Antonio's last 16 points.
The Frenchman's left elbow jumper staked the Spurs a 97-96 advantage before Eric Bledsoe slipped as he rose for a pull-up shot in the paint with 19.9 ticks to play.
Parker took an easy layup after getting behind the Phoenix defense following an inbounds play with 12.9 seconds remaining to make it 99-96.
Bledsoe misfired on a left corner triple at the other end, but Manu Ginobili gave the Suns one more opportunity when he batted the rebound out of bounds. Gerald Green, though, was forced into a tough left wing trey and his shot ricocheted off the glass as time expired.
Parker also dished out six assists for San Antonio, which has won 10 of its last 12 meetings against the Suns. Danny Green netted 19 points and Tim Duncan added 17 points, five rebounds and five assists in the victory.
"We expect him to give us that offense and distribute the ball," Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said of Parker. "He's been doing it for a long long time now."
Markieff Morris tallied 23 points and 12 rebounds off the bench for the Suns, who fell to 3-2 on the young season. Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee poured in 15 points apiece in defeat.
"We played hard. We kept them off the boards," Morris said.
San Antonio led 29-21 after a quarter of play, but the Suns outscored the hosts 32-22 in the second to take a 53-51 edge into the break.
A back-and-forth third quarter featured six ties and three lead changes. The tilt was knotted at 72-72 heading into the fourth.
Game Notes
San Antonio registered 25 assists on 41 made field goals ... Bledsoe had 14 points and five assists ... The Spurs held a 56-48 points in the paint advantage.

Pleasant Grove • Uncle.
That phrase was no doubt circling in the minds of those inside a packed Pleasant Grove High School on Tuesday night as the Lone Peak Knights, the No. 1 team in Utah, suffocated their Region 4 rival with their typical star-studded style of play.
It was a conventional outing.
Nick Emery picked many pockets. Eric Mika dunked a lot. TJ Haws broke down defenders with his crossover and nailed mid-range jumpers and the Knights, all of them, defended.
To no surprise, the Knights dominated nearly every second of their 78-43 win over Pleasant Grove, the second-best team in Region 4, holding the Vikings nearly 25 points under their scoring average.
"I thought we were really ready to play from the get-go against a team that is very good," Lone Peak coach Quincy Lewis said. "The challenge for us is coming prepared to every game."
Going on a 40-11 run in the first half of your first road region game is coming out more than prepared. Emery scored a game-high 27 points, while Haws and Mika pitched in 21 and 17, respectively.
Throughout the night, the Viking student section shouted chants in an attempt to weasel its way into the minds of the Lone Peak players. When Pleasant Grove held a 5-4 lead early in the first quarter, an "overrated" chant began.
"We definitely get up for it," Mika said about dealing with opposing crowds.
The Knights proved, as they so often do, they're the opposite of overrated.
Already up 44-16 at halftime, Lone Peak went on a 16-3 run in the third quarter, highlighted by eight points from Emery, who once again proved to be the best player on the floor.
"Sometimes the best defense ever devised against Nick is coach Lewis," Lewis said. "He was razor-sharp tonight. It doesn't get any better than him."
And if the Knights (13-1) didn't have enough incentive to continue dominating opponents in the Beehive State, Jazz forward DeMarre Carroll was in attendance to see Lone Peak handcuff a Viking team that has won 11 games so far this season.
"That's what's going to win us a state title in the end," Emery said, "is defense."
Pleasant Grove was led by Forrest Pincock, who finished with 14, and Riley Court, who added 13.
Up next for Lone Peak is its annual rivalry game against American Fork on Thursday night at the UCCU Center at Utah Valley University. Aside from the traditional rivalry story lines, Emery needs just 10 points to become the all-time leading scorer in Lone Peak boys' basketball history.
"He's not going to score again," Mika scoffed.
Emery responded to his teammate.
"It's a great honor," he said, "but winning is my favorite thing, and that's all I care about."

Sometimes Google is the best man, I typed in how to boot from usb without bios support came up with many hits. Don't be lazy.
Objective: Run BackTrack 4 off my USB Thumb Drive.
Problem: No BIOS support to boot from USB.
- Dell Dimension 4500 Series, with BIOS version A04
- using an 8GB USB drive, installed with BackTrack 4 configured with disk encryption
Steps taken so far:
- carefully followed the beautifully written HowTo "Install BackTrack Persistent to USB with full disk encryption": confirmed successful operation of the install by running on another machine with proper BIOS support
- cofirmed BIOS boot order (floppy, CD/DVD, HD), all enabled
- checked for BIOS update: confirmed running the latest available
- googled the issue until my fingers bled: no luck
More details on particul tries:
1) Tried the tutorial "How to Create a Boot CD to Boot a Ubuntu 9.04 Live USB", available at the pendrivelinux site Make a USB Boot CD for Ubuntu 9.04 | USB Pen Drive Linux.
- didn't work, which in hindsight is obvious since the file structure is different in the BackTrack blend of Ubuntu. This might work with a few tweaks but I don't know which particular files to grab/reference from a BackTrack 4 install DVD (?)
2) added things like "nocd" and "cdrom-detect/try-usb=true " to the boot settings when loading from a confirmed-working BackTrack 4 install DVD. These didn't work but maybe there are magic params that will (?)
3) per steps outlined in previously referenced HowTo "Install BackTrack Persistent to USB with full disk encryption", tried booting from DVD then making the USB install active (mkdir /mnt/backtrack4, mount /dev/mapper/vg-root /mnt/backtrack4, etc). This didn't work either but maybe there are magic commands that would make it work (?)
Comments appreciated. Thanks.
Sometimes Google is the best man, I typed in how to boot from usb without bios support came up with many hits. Don't be lazy.
Well not wanting to be lazy, thought I'd give google one last try, even trying the exact search as suggested. Funny enough the first link points to a utility called PLoP, which ironically I did come across early on in my solution search, but for some unknown reason decided to pass it up. Then, many hours later, I just got lost in the details...
Anyway, PLoP worked!
- followed section "Run from the Windows boot menu (2K, XP and VISTA)" from PLoP - Bootmanager - Free Boot Manager, builtin usb driver, native usb, boot different operating systems, cdrom, usb, freeware, option rom bios
- note that Kaspersky gave me a false positive on plpgenbtldr-0.7.zip
OK, I'm going to give my head a shake, then get on to the far more interesting stuff.
Thanks for the help.
Search for something like "boot cd load usb". You'll get results like USB Boot CD for Ubuntu 8.10 - Boot without BIOS support | USB Pen Drive Linux. Please search before posting from now on.
