Related Links
Southern Utah's men's basketball team opens its first season in the Big Sky Conference Monday when the Thunderbirds host fellow first-year BSC member North Dakota at 7:35 p.m. in the Centrum. It is the first official Big Sky game for both teams.
SUU (2-6/0-0 Big Sky) will be looking to bounce back from a 67-53 setback against San Diego on Dec. 4. The Thunderbirds were down by 14 at halftime before rallying to within three but never got over the hump. SUU was coming off its most convincing win of the season, a 95-65 triumph over San Diego Christian in which the Thunderbirds dominated all phases of the game, shooting a season-high .559 from the floor while holding SDCC to .328, pulling down a season-high 51 rebounds (to 27 for the Hawks), dishing out a season-best 18 assists, and tying their season-low with 13 turnovers.
North Dakota (1-6/0-0 Big Sky) hosts NCAA Division III Presentation College on Thursday night prior to traveling to Southern Utah. North Dakota has played five road games this season and, like the Thunderbirds, will have had just three home games by the time conference play begins on Monday. So far UND is 1-1 at home and 0-5 on the road, splitting the two home games, with an 87-51 win over Crown College and a 73-70 loss to UMKC. North Dakota is coming off a 72-52 loss at North Dakota State on Sunday.

North Dakota is coached by Brian Jones (Northern Iowa, 1994). Jones, who is in his seventh season at the helm of the UND program and his seventh season overall as a head coach, takes a record of 90-103 into Thursday's game vs. Presentation.
Affiliations: Southern Utah is in its first season as a member of the Big Sky Conference. All of SUU's sports except gymnastics and men's golf compete in the Big Sky. Gymnastics is an affiliate member of the WAC while men's golf competes in the American Sky Conference. North Dakota is also in its first season as a member of the Big Sky Conference.
The Schedule:
The Thunderbirds have played eight non-conference games, three of those games have been at home, three were true road contests, and two were neutral court match-ups, at the World Vision Classic hosted by Nevada.
SUU opened at #21 Gonzaga, then played three games in three days at the World Vision Classic in Reno, Nev., meeting Green Bay, Cal State Fullerton and host Nevada before opening its home schedule Nov. 21 against Carroll College.
SUU also played at TCU and at home against San Diego Christian and San Diego. SUU plays its final pre-season non-conference game at Denver on Dec. 21.
Last Time Out: SUU got behind early and could never climb back out of the hole in suffering a 67-53 home loss to San Diego. The Toreros jumped out to a 22-7 lead and were on top 36-22 at half before SUU went on a 14-3 tear to open the second period and pull within 39-36 with 12:06 to play. After a time out USD scored four straight points and the contest remained a 5-to-7 point affair until the Toreros went on a seven-point run and the Thunderbirds didn't get back within eight in the final four minutes. SUU out-rebounded the Toreros 43-31, held USD to .408 shooting and blocked 10 shots, but shot just .351 itself. San Diego held a 33-15 edge in free throw attempts, converting 20, while the Thunderbirds made 10 of their 15. SUU had 14 assists, its second-highest total of the season.
T-Bird Notes:
- The Thunderbirds were out-rebounded in their first three games of the season but have won the battle of the boards in the five subsequent games.
- SUU pulled down a season-high 51 rebounds vs. San Diego Christian and followed that with a 43-board performance against San Diego. Jayson Cheesman led the way against SDCC with nine, while Jackson Stevenett and Jaren Jeffery each pulled down eight rebounds vs. the Hawks. Against USD, Jackson Stevenett and Damon Heuir each had eight rebounds while Cal Hanks came off the bench to pull down a career-best six. SUU has reeled in 40 or more caroms four times this season, matching last year's total of four 40-rebound games.
- Cheesman didn't take much time to break into the SUU record books. In his first game as a Thunderbird the junior transfer from Salt Lake Community College blocked five shots, which tied the sixth-highest single-game blocks total in SUU history. With three more against San Diego, Cheesman has 22 blocks this season and his 2.8 rejections per game average leads the Big Sky Conference. He needs just eight to move into 10th place in the SUU single-season blocks record book.
- The Thunderbirds combined to block 10 shots vs. San Diego. It was the team's highest total since rejecting 13 shots against Panhandle State on Dec. 14, 2010 and the highest total in the Big Sky so far this season. Hanks blocked a career-high four shots, Cheesman swatted three and Stevenett, Heuir and Chris Nsenki each rejected one Torero attempt.
- Stevenett's 29 points at Gonzaga is the highest single-game point total in the Big Sky this season. His 11 field goals made against the Zags is also the highest total in the conference so far this season, while his 11-of-15 shooting night (.733) ranks second-best in the Sky, behind Northern Colorado's Connor Osborne, who hit 8-of-9 shots against Southwest New Mexico.
- SUU had a season-high six players score in double figures against San Diego Christian. Stevenett led the way with 15, while Heuir and Wade Collie each finished with 13. Cheesman finished with 12 points and both Jaren Jeffery and Jordan Johnson had 10. For Cheesman and Johnson the totals were career-highs while Collie's 13 were a season-high. Johnson was a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor while Collie was 5-of-6 and Hanks, who finished with a then-career-high seven points, was 3-for-3 from the field as SUU finished with a season-best 55.9 field goal percentage.
- Stevenett has scored 839 points in his three-plus seasons at SUU. He needs 238 to move into 10th place on the school's career scoring list.
- Cheesman pulled down 13 rebounds at TCU, the third-highest total in the Big Sky this season.
- SUU leads the Big Sky in rebounding margin at plus-4.7 and is second in defensive rebounds per game (26.4) and blocks per game (4.6).
- SUU combined for a season-high 18 assists vs. SDCC. Freshman A.J. Hess came off the bench to lead the squad with a career-high five dimes, while Collie had four and all but two Thunderbirds who saw action dished out at least one.
T-Bird Trivia:
- SUU has nine lettermen, one squad member and one redshirt returning from last season's team that finished 8-10 (14-17 overall) and in sixth place in the Summit League.
- Five seniors, three juniors, three sophomores and four freshmen make up the 2012-13 Thunderbird squad.
- Senior Jackson Stevenett was a second-team all-Summit League honoree last season and he also earned a spot on the five-player Summit League all-tournament team.
- SUU advanced to the Summit League tournament as the number six seed last year, then upset third-seeded Oakland (84-82) in the tournament's first round before falling to eventual tourney champion South Dakota State (63-47) in the semi-finals.
- Nick Robinson is the eighth head men's basketball coach in SUU's 50-year history as a four-year institution.
- Nevada's World Vision Classic was the fourth in-season tournament for the Thunderbirds in as many years. Last year SUU competed at San Diego State's Basketball Travelers Classic, in 2010 SUU traveled to the Great Alaska Shootout and in 2009 the team was in Hawai'i for the Rainbow Classic.
- Southern Utah will play 14 home games this season, including 10 Big Sky Conference contests and one in the BracketBusters tournament. The 10 conference match-ups are the most ever in a season for SUU, a far cry from the four the team had in 1993-94 and 1994-95 when it was a member of the five-team American West Conference and there were just four home conference dates. The last several years SUU has played nine Summit League games per season in the Centrum.
- SUU's non-conference road games this season included contests at Gonzaga and vs. Nevada at the World Vision Classic, at TCU and at Denver.
- SUU and the University of North Dakota are in their first seasons in the Big Sky, making it an 11-team conference. The Thunderbirds had been members of the Summit League (nee. Mid-Continent Conference) for the past 15 seasons before joining the BSC. As members of the 10-team Summit League the Thunderbird men's basketball team qualified for the conference's eight-team post-season tournament 14 of 15 seasons, missing only in 2009-10 when they finished ninth.
- Seven teams qualify for the Big Sky tournament, which will be hosted by the regular-season champion, March 14-16.
- SUU is in its 50th season as a four-year institution, its 25th at the NCAA Division I level. Prior to joining the NCAA Division I ranks the University spent two seasons at the Division II level and 23 as a member of the NAIA.
Scouting North Dakota: North Dakota, which was picked to finish fourth by the coaches and sixth by the media in the Big Sky pre-season poll, will be looking to break through on the road for the first time this season on Monday. UND opened with an 85-52 loss at Kansas State, then after cruising past Crown College, it played three straight on the road, losing at Northern Iowa (72-47), Hawai'i (71-66) and South Dakota State (71-70). UMKC upset UND at home, 73-70, then last Sunday North Dakota State defended its home court with a 72-52 win over UND. Aaron Anderson is the team's leading scorer at 11.9 points per game and Josh Schuler is second on the team with 10.1 ppg, while Jamal Webb, who is third in the Big Sky with 1.8 steals per game, averages 8.8 points and leads the team with 3.7 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game. (Troy Huff has been sidelined since leading UND with 12 points and five rebounds in the season-opener at Kansas State). North Dakota attempts 35 percent of its shots from beyond the 3-point arc and has knocked down 34.4 percent of them. Lenny Antwi has been the most deadly regular from long-range, knocking down 12-of-25 (.436), while Anderson (11-33) and Schuler (10-30) have both connected at a .333 rate. North Dakota averages 63.4 points per game on .412 overall shooting while opponents have averaged 70.7 points on .420 shooting (.349 threes). North Dakota has converted 68.9 percent of its free throw opportunities and has been out-rebounded by an average of 37.3-to-33.0 caroms per game.

Harmony youth blossoms while pursuing horse dreams
By Melissa Vander Plas
Wednesday, October 10, 2012 9:28 AM
Libby Onsager and her horse, Rye, are ready for their turn in the show ring at the National POAC Congress held in July of this year.
When one first sets eyes on Liberty Onsager, it is hard to imagine that this small, young woman is already a seventh grade student at Fillmore Central. Yet, when talking with her, one is immediately struck by her poise, her confidence and her maturity.
Libby, as she is affectionately known by her friends and family, has earned a great deal of success in her short life, working hard to pursue her dreams by working with horses on her farm just northwest of Harmony.
Her mother, Melissa, explained how Libby does her own chores, saves her money and invests in her own horses to train.
Her most beloved horse at the moment is Dutch Rhythm 'N Blues, otherwise known as Rye. She purchased him from Sweet Memories Stables in Decorah after instantly falling in love with him. Libby explained he has a great personality. He's also an attractive horse and is registered as a black POA (Pony of America) though Melissa said he fades to more of a black/bay color in the summer.
The girl and her horse have been working together for about two years. "I bought him as an unbroke horse," explained Libby.
"She has trained him virtually all by herself," added Melissa.
"With a little help," Libby added humbly.
Libby is eager to share her success with her teachers and her mentors, recognizing that many have helped her get where she is today.
Dan Solberg owns the barn where she boards her horses and rides in the winter. He helped her start training Rye and Melissa said he has taken Libby under his wing. "He's wonderful with kids," she said about Solberg. "He gave her countless hours of suggestions, coaching and guidance, all the while letting her find her way and train the pony herself."
His daughter, Becky Solberg, has also helped Libby a lot by riding with her and serving as a good example of what good horsemanship is all about.
"Then there is Taylor Coyle," Libby added. "If anyone can stay on a horse, he can."
"Maybe that's where you get your sticky seat," Melissa replied with a laugh.
It was Taylor's parents, Teresa and Randy, who first took Libby under their wing and gave her a great start, Melissa said.
"They helped her find her first POA, Shez No Kid, and helped Libby and 'Giggles' become a team over the next three years," she continued. "It was through that confidence that she was able to start training ponies on her own at the young age of 9. Teresa helped Libby through training that first pony and it was onwards and upwards from there."
Melissa added she had actually tried to talk Libby into purchasing a different horse when they were looking in Decorah, but Libby was bound and determined that Rye was the one.
In their first year as rider and pony, Libby and Rye found great success, the accolades, trophies and prizes too numerous to mention. However, Melissa admitted, Rye surpassed everyone's expectations, except those of Libby, who knew her horse would shine.
All of that success, however, does not come without hard work. While most 12-year-olds are spending their spare time watching television, playing games or just relaxing, Libby is up early before school doing chores and working with her ponies after school. She is also busy with band and choir and other activities at Fillmore Central, but horses remain her true love.
She tries to ride at least three of her horses each day. Once Libby completes her homework, there is little TV time before she has to go to bed and rest up for the next day, she added.
"She is out there sweating in the heat or freezing in the winter," Melissa added. "No matter the season, the ponies need taking care of. Anyone who has said, 'Horseback riding must be easy, the horse does all the work,' needs to spend a day in Libby's shoes."
Going to Congress
One of her goals was realized this summer as Libby showed Rye at the Pony of America Congress in July at Lake St. Louis, Mo.
Competing at the POA Congress was a challenge that Libby faced with confidence and determination. She did not let her age or her lack of fancy equipment deter her.
Melissa explained that many youth who show at Congress come from large, professional stables. Her pony was one of the few in Libby's classes that was trained by a 12-year-old, showing in hand-me-down clothing and ridden in a saddle that cost less than a house payment. She was one of the few kids without a full-time trainer and quite possibly the only one whose pony arrived in a stock-type trailer instead of a fancy horse trailer with living quarters and dressing rooms.
"She is probably the only rider who works with five to eight ponies a day, riding, training, cleaning stalls and feeding her own ponies," Melissa added.
Melissa added that the Midwest competitors are the toughest as are those from Oregon and Oklahoma.
"I made a couple of new friends from Oklahoma," Libby said. "There was also a group of people from Wisconsin who we hung out with."
Libby showed Rye in several classes, including Western Pleasure, Showmanship, Equitation, Trail and Reigning, plus five or six other classes.
She noted her favorite is Showmanship as it is more about the person and her connection to the horse. She also enjoys Reigning as "you can speed up a bit."
Libby earned a reserve champion ribbon and jacket for Western Horsemanship and a third-place finish in Equitation.
More horses to train
The show season winded down in September, but Libby has more horses to work with over the fall and winter. Her brood includes Rye's full sister and mother, who is expecting another foal in the spring.
"I'll be starting to work with Cutie, Rye's sister, who is a yearling," said Libby.
What she has learned
Libby acknowledged that she has learned a great deal from her experiences working with horses. She has definitely learned patience as her beloved horses don't always do exactly what she would like them to do. However, these challenges have helped her develop her skills and have given her confidence when she has worked through them and learned how to better handle these situations in the future.
"Libby used to be a bit shy and timid, but working with horses has given her confidence," Melissa agreed. "She has really blossomed."
Libby also enjoys being the only one in her class who knows about horses and how to train them. "It's something that only I do," she added.
Libby and Melissa agreed that working with horses and riding them is something their whole family can do together. Libby's younger sister, Sophie, is in the early stages of horsemanship and her father, Shannon, is their "numbers guy and cook."
"It's not really his thing," Melissa explained, "but he's very supportive of our love for our horses."

For the past two years, I have been a volunteer reading tutor for Reading Partners. It's been a very rewarding experience. The Reading Partners curriculum is thoughtful, easy to follow, and effective. With modest training, I have been able to implement the curriculum and see the reading progress of my students. I also appreciate the support of the Reading Partners site coordinator at the school where I volunteer. She is encouraging, knowledgeable, and seemed to know all the children.
Having been involved in education as a school administrator, education attorney, state legislator, and school board member, it is exciting to see an evidence-based program like Reading Partners that is making strong, measurable gains in closing the early childhood reading proficiency gap. It is an excellent example of a scalable, cost-efficient program that can make a significant impact on the academic success of the students who participate and it also makes for such a rewarding experience for the volunteers who sign-up to help the students. I have had the opportunity to serve as a volunteer Reading Partners' tutor and to also observe the program first-hand in a number of different cities across the country, and I was so impressed with the gains being made at every Reading Partners' school site I visited.
I am grateful to have been a volunteer tutor and a site coordinator for the past 2 years. What I love about Reading Partners is that they are dedicated to creating lifelong readers. With their high quality program and easy to follow curriculum it has been proven that it works.
Very excited to start volunteering for Reading Partners. Reading Partners works to raise the literacy rates of children within our communities. I cant think of a better way to give back than to ensure that our future generations have the necessary skills and confidence to better their lives.
Reading Partners is dedicated to providing a high quality and high impact program for community volunteers and students --and Reading Partners succeeds!
Reading Partners stands out amongst a vanguard of nonprofits working to eliminate the literacy achievement gap. Their scalable program is opening opportunities for thousands of students across the country. An investment in Reading Partners goes a long way -- students more than double their rate of learning while in the program which sets them up for success in school and life.
While I have only been tutoring a short while, I already look forward to my tutoring session every week. My student is so excited to learn and she shows me every week that she wants to succeed. I'm thrilled to see that with each session she is building confidence. It's hard to imagine what my student would do without Reading Partners.
I HIGHLY recommend this program as a volunteer opportunity. I was nervous to start at first but could not be happier now that I am a reading partner.
The program is made all the better by it's evidence based curriculum and close monitoring of students' progress. Reading Partners truly works!

Reading Partners is an amazing program that targets the critical stage in reading between K-3rd grade where once you fall behind it becomes extremely hard to succeed in future grades, in high school and further in life. The tutors are a joy to watch, working one-on-one with students teaching them the joy of reading and exciting the students to no end. What a joy to watch children find happiness in learning.
I have watched Reading Partners in Charleston, SC transform kids' behavior and their ability to read. They significantly decrease the achievement gap. My most memorable moment is having a student who would barely speak to me my first day of tutoring turn into a talkative and confident young lady by the end of the year.
Tutoring with Reading Partners has shown me that I can make a difference is as little as an hour each week. As a tutor, I get the opportunity be a role model for my student, and I love seeing her smile every day when I show up at her classroom for our session. It feels so great to be able to help her understand what we're reading each day, and watch her begin to figure out problems on her own. She also gets so excited when she gets to take a book home each week, which is a really special experience.
I chose to do my AmeriCorps year of service with Reading Partners because I wanted to truly make a difference for struggling students. I think literacy is such an important part of a student's educational experience, and opens doors for them in other subjects in school. Reading Partners gives students a chance to accelerate their learning, and I'm grateful to be a part of that process!

Newberry, S.C. - 11 Newberry players scored in the game, overcoming a 21 point performance by Josh Roper as Brevard fell on the road in Eleazer Arena on Wednesday evening, 81-72.
Roper was seven of 23 from the floor in the contest as Brevard (13-12, 8-9 SAC) saw their four game winning streak end after shooting 37.5 percent (24-64) from the floor. Gaither Hendrix added 19 points and three assists, while Josh Jordan added 11 points and six rebounds as Brevard fell to Newberry for the second time in the 2010-2011 season.
Brandon Riley scored 17 points off the bench to lead the Wolves (13-12, 8-9 SAC), hitting nine of 14 free throws as Newberry scored 23 points from the free throw line in the contest. Tony Davis recorded a double-double with 14 points and 16 rebounds and Ray Robinson added 10 points and nine rebounds as Newberry held the 50-34 rebounding advantage in the contest in completing the season sweep.
Brevard built an eight point lead halfway through the first half as Hendrix completed the three-point play with a free throw at the 13:10 mark to give the Tornados the 14-6 advantage. The Wolves would claw their way back into the game with a 17-2 run, taking a 10 point lead at 32-22 following a dunk by Brunes Charles with 4:46 and Newberry would take a 38-31 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Out of the break, Brevard would cut the deficit all the way down to one point following an 11-2 run to open the period. Jordan scored seven points in the first four minutes of the second half and Drew Schauss closed out the run with a layup off a Roper assist to put the score at 43-42 with 15:48 to play. The Wolves would recover with a run of their own to go back up by double digits and though the Tornados would keep it within striking distance, Newberry closed out the game with the 81-72 victory.
Brevard will close out the 2010-2011 regular season on Saturday, February 26th, at home in Boshamer Gymnasium as they welcome Wingate University to Brevard, N.C.

Stalkers vary considerably in the types and frequency of stalking tactics. [1-5]
On this page, find:
Although stalking tactics and frequencies vary widely, several tactics appear to be common across cases of partner stalking,
as noted in the table below.
Cyber-stalking can be defined as "the use of the Internet, e-mail, or other electronic communications devices to stalk another
person" [48] whereas the use of technology is more broadly defined as "the host of tools the stalker can use (now and in the future) to
commit their crime," such as GPS and cameras in addition to the use of the Internet. [49]
The following table summarizes a number of types of technology that can be used to stalk someone. [62-67]

Former USC assistant football coach Todd McNair was the victim of a "malicious" NCAA investigation into his actions during the Reggie Bush scandal, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday.
McNair demonstrated a probability he could win his defamation case against the NCAA, according to Judge Frederick Shaller, who ruled investigators went "over the top" after he reviewed sealed documents of the inquiry.
Shaller also refused the NCAA's request to dismiss the case. In its original report, the NCAA said McNair lied about his knowledge of gifts Bush and his family received from two would-be sports marketers that wanted to sign Bush as their client once he turned pro.
"We are disappointed with the decision and plan to appeal," the NCAA said in a statement.
Shaller issued a 10-page ruling that said emails between an investigative committee member, an employee and an appeals' division worker demonstrated "ill will" or "hatred" toward McNair. The Trojans' running backs coach was prevented from contacting recruits and his contract was ultimately not renewed by USC.
"Todd McNair's contract expired on June 30, 2010," USC said in a statement. "We have no additional comment."
McNair sued the NCAA in 2011 for libel, slander, interference with contract relations and economic advantage.
In its report, the NCAA said McNair took a USC tutor to a party in San Diego of a former NFL player, where he initially became aware of the one of the would-be sports marketers' relationship with Bush.
"According to the assistant football coach, the associate was a tutor in the athletics department and he contemplated hiring her to assist him in "starting an independent record label." (Note: No such enterprise was ever started.)
The report also stated that at 1:34a.m. Jan. 6, 2006, McNair spoke to one of the agency partners, who wanted McNair to convince Bush to adhere to an agreement or reimburse them.
The NCAA said McNair provided "false and misleading information" during interviews in 2006 and 2008 with the agency regarding the phone call and violations associated with it.
But Shaller ruled the report was flawed and he intends to unseal the records in a month - after giving the NCAA a chance to appeal.
"I think the public has a right to know," Shaller said.
The NCAA argued unsealing the documents would hurt future investigations.
McNair hasn't coached since his USC contract expired. His attorney, Bruce Broillet, declined comment.
USC received a two-year bowl ban and 30-scholarship reduction from the Bush sanctions. McNair originally appealed his punishment to the NCAA but lost his case.

text: Case | HBS Case Collection | September 2016 Hotel Vertu: Analyzing the Opportunity in the Boutique Hotel Industry Howard H. Stevenson and Michael J. Roberts DBA Two soon-to-be MBA graduates are considering a business opportunity in the boutique hotel industry. Having found a seemingly attractive property in Savannah, Georgia, Yvonne D'Arcy and Elisabeth Whiting face questions about career issues, planning, financing, and the possibility of unequal power dynamics. Students assess the merits of the proposed project, as well as the overall attractiveness of the boutique hotel industry and the career opportunity it presents. Exhibits include a Letter of Agreement between D'Arcy and Whiting, the hotel's historical performance data, lodging statistics for the Savannah market, and the project budget. An associated case, "Hotel Vertu: Financing the Venture in the Boutique Hotel Industry" (917-505), overlaps with this case but delves into the issues around financial forecasts, financial returns, deal structure, equity splits, and the power dynamic between investors and entrepreneurs. Although each case can be taught on its own (i.e., students do not require data or knowledge from one case in order to benefit fully from the other), the two can be paired in order to give students a more complete sense of the challenges that aspiring entrepreneurs may face. If both cases are taught, it is recommended that instructors begin with "Hotel Vertu: Analyzing the Opportunity in the Boutique Hotel Industry."

My meditation has lately been proceeding like this lately:
I sit down and focus on my breath after Metta. I try to focus on the presence of the breath going in and out through my nostrils. I also try to pay attention to the texture/hot-cold sensation/ and length of each breath. About 20 minutes In I start to lose focus. My mind seems to get caught up in a cycle of Sloth/Torpor/Lethargy, I'm honestly not sure which one. My mind almost seems to wander away from the breath without me even noticing. I'll get stuck up in a waking-lucid dream play, or start seeing vivid images. The last one I had when I was sitting, and my mind was creating the imagery of the room I was in as if I had my eyes open (not assuming this is in anyway the divine eye, or whatever, fyi...). Anyways, this goes on for a time and then seemingly all by itself, my awareness or mindfulness becomes briefly very acute, and alert. This is often times accompanied with comfortable tingling sensations. I try to be indifferent to it, and focus on my breath. Not long after this happens though, I'll drift back into a phase where I have great difficulty concentrating.
Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

A groundbreaking ceremony took place Sept. 10, 2013 to launch the construction of an 87-unit, multi-million dollar development by Chancellor Health Partners. Wyngate at RiversEdge will offer assisted living, memory care and independent living on 8.5 acres overlooking the Ohio River. It will have medical offices on its campus, where services will be provided by Cabell Huntington Hospital. During the groundbreaking, Brent A. Marsteller, President & CEO of Cabell Huntington Hospital, expressed his pleasure in starting a great partnership with the Wyngate family.
"It is an honor for Cabell Huntington Hospital to be part of a project like this, especially with a partner whose values and goals so closely mirror our own," he said. "Our shared focus is on maintaining the highest quality of life for seniors."
Chancellor owns and operates the Wyngate Senior Living Community in Barboursville, WV. This new project, Wyngate of RiversEdge, will combine housing and healthcare services in a home-like setting with 28 independent living apartments and 59 apartments in the assisted living community. The company owns thirteen communities in Ohio and West Virginia and is recognized by the industry as an innovator.
Wyngate at RiversEdge will have a medical facility located on the property, where services will be provided by Cabell Huntington Hospital. The medical facility will offer benefits to Wyngate residents as well as community members of all ages and offer primary and urgent care, imaging and lab services, physical therapy and home health care services.
Mike DePaola, Chancellor's Director of Administrative Services, pointed out that this multi-million dollar development will add many jobs to the area and will provide approximately $1,000,000 annually to the local economy. He added, "We plan to be a community resource and clearing house of information for seniors who find single family home ownership and living alone too burdensome at this stage of their lives."
Wyngate at RiversEdge will be built on acreage on County Road 107, directly across from the Lawrence County Fairgrounds. It is scheduled to open in April 2014.

Affordable Care Act less than a week away
(Cleveland) - The health insurance industry is about to go through a significant change.
The Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, goes into effect on October 1st.
Greg Young is Director of Strategic Initiatives with Medical Mutual of Ohio. Young says it's been hard work paging through the complex law.
"Thousands of pages, you know, when we're talking about reading the law, and we've had regulations that qualify that law, 20,000 to 25,000 pages," says Young.
Under the Affordable Care Act, every American will be obligated to buy health insurance. Young says low-income Americans will be a group that will benefit from the law.
"If they're beneath 400 percent of the federal poverty level, they're going to qualify for a subsidy to help them purchase this health insurance," says Young.
Young adults with little or no health problems may see their coverage costs go up, while older adults with pre-existing conditions will see their costs go down. Pre-existing conditions will no longer be taken into account for insurance qualifications.
Another concern with the Affordable Care Act is possible lay-offs for health-care workers.
Last week Cleveland Clinic announced over 3,000 employees could be let go as a result of the law.
The law takes effect next month, but the entire law won't take effect until January 2014.

To: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch
Subject: [m0n0wall] Can I use m0n0wall to merge 2 networks with different
Dear all m0n0wall experts
I need some advices for my case. Recently my customer's company merged to
another company and here is the case:
- Company A
o Is the main company, must not change any network settings at all
o Has its own Domain Controller under Windows 2003 and DHCP and DNS Server
all under windows 2003
o Uses m0n0wall 1.33 as the router to connect to the internet (Fiber
optic) with static IP address of 121.x.x.x
o Internal IP sets is 192.168.x.x with 255.255.0.0 (more than 255
- Company B
o Is the merging company, can change some network settings, but preferably
no merging the subnet with company A.
o Has its own domain controller, dhcp, and dns under windows 2003
o Internet connection must share the internet from company A.
o Internal IP Sets is 192.169.x.x with 255.255.0.0 (more than 255
My Question is:
1. Can I use m0n0wall as a router to bridge the two networks.
2. Will using internal IP convention such as 192.168.x.x as the IP set
What I did:
At Company B:
1. I installed m0n0wall 1.22 in company B and sets the WAN using
static address with IP 192.168.0.50 and gateway points to 192.168.0.5. LAN
is set to 18.104.22.168
2. Connecting internet from client in Company B to all PC in company A
was a success, but the weird thing is that if I ping using m0n0wall Ping
tool to any address 192.168.x.x it never got thru. Ping to the internet also
failed. But all the clients can access all the 192.168.x.x subnets and the
internet. For the client, we set IP address of 192.169.x.x with gateway to
188.8.131.52 and DNS to 18.104.22.168 and 192.168.0.1 using DHCP at company B.
3. However, all the clients and m0n0wall at company A cannot access
all devices in company B.
4. With the current settings of m0n0wall in company B, it seems that
the DNS I set in m0n0wall is not used (not showing up), but in company A is
used well and shows up at the company B Firewall (Under Status - Interface -
DNS Servers). Is this because my WAN is pointing to internal IP? If I use IP
such as 10.x.x.x at Company A, would the DNS Server list shows up?
At company A, I did not change anything. Any tips on how to make both
companies able to communicate one another + internet sharing?
All helps are very much appreciated

Academic Suspension - Any student who was on academic probation the previous semester will be suspended from the University if s/he fails to raise his or her retention GPA to the required retention GPA level (retention requirements) or achieve a 2.00 semester GPA in regularly graded course work, not to include activity or performance courses. Students not meeting either of these criteria will be immediately suspended and may not be reinstated until one regular semester (fall or spring) has elapsed.
For continued enrollment as a student in academic good standing at the University of Central Oklahoma, a student must have earned a retention grade point average at or above the following:
Retention Requirements 2012 - 2013
Credit Hours Attempted Retention GPA Requirement
*0 through 30 semester hours 1.7
31 or greater semester hours 2.0
*Students with 0-30 semester credit hours with a retention GPA of 1.7 through 1.99 will be considered to be on freshman academic notice.
Students will be removed from academic probation when they have met the minimum requirements above. All students who have less than 30 credit hours and are new on probation or on academic notice must take UNIV 2012, Success Strategies, to remain in good standing.
At the end of the probationary semester or term, students who continue to fail to make satisfactory progress toward the academic objective, as indicated by the retention requirements, will be suspended for the next regular (fall or spring) semester. Students suspended twice from the University of Central Oklahoma are not eligible to return until by attendance at another accredited institution, they have raised their retention grade point average to a minimum of 2.0.
Continued Study by Suspended Seniors
A student suspended for the first or second time from UCO with 90 or more hours in a specified degree program who failed to meet the retention GPA of 2.0 or the semester GPA of 2.0 may enroll in an additional 15 semester hours in a further attempt to achieve the requirements for retention. During this 15 hours of enrollment, the student must achieve a minimum 2.0 GPA during each semester or raise his/her retention GPA to 2.0 or above. Such students will be afforded this extension one time only.
Reinstatement of Suspended Students
One time suspended students will be eligible to apply for readmission to the University of Central Oklahoma after an absence from the University for a regular (fall or spring) semester assuming they have not attended any other college or university. To be readmitted, students must make application and pay the $40 application fee. Students should be prepared to discuss with the advisor reasons for earlier academic difficulties and should explore available campus resources that will assist in meeting educational goals.
Students suspended from the University of Central Oklahoma who have attended another college or university may only reapply after demonstrating they have earned a 2.0 or higher grade point average at all institutions attended since the suspension. Should a second suspension occur, students will be unable to be readmitted to UCO until their retention GPA meets the University's retention standards. Students may raise their GPAs by successful attendance at another regionally accredited college or university.
Procedures For Immediate Admission of Suspended Students From Other System Institutions
In some instances, students with no more than one suspension from another institution may apply for probational admission. To be considered for probational admission, students must have met all other applicable UCO admission criteria at the time of first college admission. If admission is granted, future enrollments will depend upon the student meeting applicable retention grade point average requirements. To apply for probational admission following a suspension from another institution, students must petition the Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Academic Retention.
Petition forms are available online at www.uco.edu/em/appeal. Click on the admissions link.
Academic Suspension Appeals
Students who believe extraordinary conditions led to an academic suspension at UCO may petition the Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Academic Retention for immediate reinstatement. If approved, the suspension status will not change, but the students will be allowed an immediate readmission. Limitations on enrollment may apply. Should a subsequent suspension occur, students will not be allowed to reapply until such time as they have demonstrated an ability to succeed academically by attending another institution and raising their retention GPA to meet UCO retention standards. Students with two academic suspensions are not eligible for this appeal. Petition forms are available online at www.uco.edu/em/appeal. Click on the admissions link.
Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Academic Retention
The purpose of this committee is to consider the following petitions: Alternative Admission for First-Time Freshmen; Appeals for Adult Admission; transfer probational admission of probation or suspended students from other institutions; and other exceptional and extraordinary individual applications.
Students who feel they have extraordinary personal circumstances which contributed to their academic difficulties or students requesting Alternative Admission, transfer probation, Adult Admission, or desiring to appeal an admissions decision may obtain an Academic Retention Appeal Petition online at www.uco.edu/em/appeal, then click on admissions.
A student's request for admission or readmission will only be considered when full documentation (including complete official transcripts) supporting the appeal has been submitted for evaluation within the time requirements established for committee meetings.
Appeals will not be considered once classes begin. It is deemed inappropriate for at-risk students to begin the term late. The authority of the Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Academic Retention is limited to granting admission or readmission, placing conditions or limitations on the first semester enrollment, and DOES NOT EXTEND TO REMOVING OR REVERSING AN ACADEMIC SUSPENSION.
The decision of the committee is final. A student cannot reapply to UCO without satisfying the committee recommendations.
Petition forms are available online at www.uco.edu/em/appeal. Click on the admissions link.
Appeal Process
If a student wishes to petition for readmission or admission on probation, a written request must be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions with attached official transcripts of all college work. The student's request for reinstatement will be considered only by satisfactorily completing the following steps for appeal:
A. Document reasonable cause for unusual or extraordinary personal circumstances that contributed to academic failure;
B. Submit evidence of the capability for academic success (satisfactory scores on aptitude or achievement tests may be a requirement);
C. Provide an objective plan for balancing proposed enrollment, study time, and a work schedule which will ensure success toward obtaining an educational and/or degree goal.
D. If the student is currently attending another college, final grades for that term must be submitted with the appeal.
E. If testing is required, test scores must be submitted prior to deadline.
F. All requested documents and test scores must be received on or before deadline.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - With a decisive 54-40 win at LIU-Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team now boasts its first four-game winning streak since the 2004-05 season. Junior Alyssa Baron's game-high 17 points led an impressive effort by the Quakers on both sides of the floor.
Penn (4-3) held a double digit lead throughout much of the second half and completed a sweep of Brooklyn - the Quakers won at St. Francis Brooklyn on Wednesday with the largest comeback in Ivy League history (18 points). LIU-Brooklyn fell to 2-5 on the year.
The Red and Blue led the whole way and finished with nine threes - one off the season high set at St. Francis Brooklyn. Six of those came in the first half. Baron and sophmore Katy Allen set the tone with back-to-back threes at the start. Meanwhile, the Blackbirds missed nine of their first 10 shots and the Quakers jumped out to a 9-2 lead over the first eight minutes.
A few quick baskets from LIU cut the Penn lead to 12-10 at the midway point of the opening half, but the Quakers scored nine of the next 11 for a 21-12 edge at the 4:15 mark.
Just before the half, Baron hit a three and sophomore Kara Bonenberger converted a three-point play to send the Quakers into the visiting locker room with a 32-20 lead.
The Blackbirds came out firing in the second half with three quick three's. But Penn continued to answer at the offensive end with a pair of Bonenberger buckets and another three from Allen. LIU was never closer than seven, 36-29.
It was an eight-point game, 41-33, with 11:18 to play when the Quakers went on a quick 8-0 run behind a three-point play from Bonenberger and two baskets from Baron for a 16-point edge, 49-33.
The lead grew to 17, 51-34, before a 6-0 run from LIU made it an 11-point game with 5:25 to go. But that was the last field goal the Quakers would allow.
Penn was 20-of-59 (33.9%) from the field, while LIU-Brooklyn was 17-for-60 (28.3%). The Quakers were 6-for-11 (54.5%) from three in the first half and finished 9-for-27 (33.3%). Penn had 14 assists and just nine turnovers - tied for an all-time low under head coach Mike McLaughlin. LIU-Brooklyn had 13 assists and Penn forced 18 miscues.
Allen led the Quakers with seven rebounds in addition to nine points in 28 minutes. Bonenberger was in double figures with 12 points and added four rebounds, threee assists, three blocks and two steals. Baron and freshman Keiera Ray also had three assists apiece. Senior captain Brianna Bradford added two threes off the bench as well as three rebounds.
All four wins during this streak came in a 10-day span. Penn's last winning streak of this length came more than seven years ago when the Quakers put together seven straight wins.
Up next is an extended break for the Quakers. And it is a well-deserved rest after four games in 10 days. Penn next takes the floor on Friday, Dec. 21 against Drexel for the Battle for 33rd Street. The Quakers will walk to the visiting gym—the DAC is just a few blocks north of The Palestra. Tip is at 1 p.m.

Despite what you may have heard, feral hogs don't give birth to three litters a year and no one female can have 300 piglets within a two-year period, says Kim Marie Tolson, associate professor of biology at University of Louisiana at Monroe.
That said, the question of what to do about the increasing number of feral hogs in the state still is a problem that needs to be addressed, said biologists at the 2014 Fall Symposium on Recent Natural Resource Research in Louisiana.
"It's not reproduction that makes wild pigs so successful. It's just one factor," Tolson said Friday — their ability to survive and thrive almost anywhere.
Feral hogs pretty much have won the lottery on survivability. They can live in multiple types of habitat from upland forest to the marshes of coastal Louisiana, they have no natural predators in Louisiana and they will eat just about anything.
"If it has one calorie in it, a pig will eat it," Tolson said. And, she said, it's true the feral hog has the potential to reproduce much quicker than other large mammals in the state by having five to six offspring about every eight to nine months. A ready supply of food, sometimes left by hunters in deer feeders, means more success in breeding and reproduction.
"Sometimes, we're our own worst enemy," Tolson said, showing a picture of a large group of feral pigs gathered around a pile of corn that had been left out.
With a population of about half a million feral hogs in the state right now, and hunters reporting killing only 161,000 last year, the population is expected to keep exploding. These feral hogs can cause widespread damage to crops in the upland areas and to coastal marshes farther south.
Although biologists at the meeting Friday focused on how best to curtail the feral hog population in the state, not everyone wants to see that happen.
"Landowners look at pigs a little differently," said Chad Corville, land manager for Miami Corp., which is a large landowner in south Louisiana. Some landowners want the feral hogs removed, but have concerns about liability issues if someone gets hurt on their property and about making sure removal efforts don't conflict with other money-making ventures on the property.
Other landowners want the hogs to remain because it offers a way to go hunting or to lease their land for hunting hogs.
Then there's the effort from a number of people who will trap hogs in one area and then transport them to another place where they go hunting, said Jim LaCour, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries veterinarian.
It is perfectly legal to transport feral hogs, although it is illegal to release them into the wild. LaCour said it's a "five-minute crime" as people just open the trailer door and then it's done.
In this way, people are basically seeding different parts of the state with feral hog populations for hunting purposes.
Hunting alone isn't putting a dent into the feral hog population, and hasn't done so in Texas or neighboring states. Instead, speakers at the meeting said, there needs to be a multilayered approach. These methods could include programs being worked on at the LSU Agricultural Center to create a nitrite feed that would kill the animals.
That research is still ongoing and there's certainly nothing ready for release at this time, said Glen Gentry, assistant professor with the LSU Agricultural center.
Another method being tested is the effectiveness of shooting feral hogs by helicopter in the coastal wetlands as opposed to trying to chase the hogs by airboat.
An ongoing research project at Pass-a-Loutre Wildlife Management Area at the mouth of the Mississippi River is comparing marsh damage over time with concentrated aerial hog shooting in one area compared to no helicopter hunting in another.
Damaged areas and acreage were measured in 2013 and then they did 19 hours of flight time during which 145 hogs were killed in the treatment area.
The researchers came back in 2014 and found that in the area where the hogs had been killed there were fewer areas and acres of damage than in the control site.
Hunting alone will not provide those results. There are 180 days of feral hog harvest on the wildlife management area with an average take of about one hog a day, LaCour said.
"We shot 145 in two days," he said.
But again, speakers said this is just one management approach that won't solve the problem and won't work as effectively in all areas.
Instead, universities and state and federal agencies need to work together to organize some pilot projects in case funding becomes available, said John Pitre, wildlife biologist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
"We need a long-term plan," he said. "And show that all the partners are coming together to do this. There is absolutely a need for collaboration."

Gavin Newsom,
mayor of San Francisco, declared in February that the city would allow same-sex marriages, saying they are permitted under the equality provisions in the state constitution. Almost 3,200 same-sex couples were married within 10 days of Newsom's announcement. The state supreme court declared in August that the gay marriages that were performed in San Francisco are "void and of no legal effect from their inception." The unanimous ruling stated that Newsom did not have the authority to permit such unions.

Like so many other Los Angeles studio musicians, guitarist and composer Larry Carlton was faced with a choice a number of years back: whether to go solo and develop a name for himself under his own name or to continue the less risky, more lucrative existence as a session guitarist, making good money and recording with prominent musicians. Fortunately for fans of this eclectic guitarist, he chose the former, and has recorded under his own name for Warner Bros., MCA Records and GRP Records since 1978. Read more on Last.fm more

Krier Won't Push Toll Roads on SA Council
Newly appointed San Antonio City Councilman Joe Krier says he won't push toll roads during his brief time on Council, even though he has historically been a big supporter of tolling, and he is Chairman of the company that operates the State Highway 130 toll road.
"I'm not sure the issue is going to come up while I'm on council," said Krier, who was appointed Thursday to succeed Elisa Chan, representing District 9 on the north central side until a special election is held in May.
"I've always thought that toll roads are a tool in the toolbox and any government should have a variety of choices, and that is one of them," he said.
Krier said he expects the biggest issue to come up during his short council stretch will be one of the most significant issues to come before city government in a decade---what should be done to make sure the city's so called 'legacy costs,' including retirement and health insurance benefits for retired city employees, don't become a burden on the city.
"It has been an issue for literally thousands of cities across the United States which are now looking at their unfunded responsibilities," Krier said.
Krier says in addition to providing leadership on that critical issue, he plans to provide a 'conservative voice' to people in District 9 who want their tax dollars to be used responsibly.
Krier was President of the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce for twenty years. He now operates Krier Consulting with his wife, former State Senator and Bexar County Judge Cyndi Taylor Krier.
Krier says he will serve only six months on City Council and has no interest in running for re-election to the seat next spring.
