Miami Central coach completes Taggart's staff
TAMPA -- USF coach Willie Taggart has completed his coaching staff, hiring the head coach of a Miami high school powerhouse. Telly Lockette, who took Miami Central to three straight championship games, has agreed to be the Bulls' new running backs coach.
No formal announcement has come yet, but Lockette will replace assistant Larry Scott, a top Miami-area recruiter for the Bulls who left to become tight ends coach at Miami. Taggart was to coach the running backs himself, but will now keep an eye on tight ends, with a graduate assistant helping out.
Lockette was just 37 in December when he became the first coach to lead a Miami-Dade program to three straight title games. His team beat Gainesville 37-14 for the Class 6A title. His hiring should help the Bulls' recruiting efforts in Miami -- Lockette was once a top running back at Miami Northwestern; his Central team has two elite 2014 running backs in Joseph Yearby and Dalvin Cook.
Here's a good read on Lockette's background from the Miami Herald. USF brought in Central kicker Emilio Nadelman as an early enrollee in January, and Taggart got a commitment in August at Western Kentucky from Central linebacker Devante Duclos, who joined the Hilltoppers this semester.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
This 24-hour eatery offers a full menu of sandwiches and seafood (fried and otherwise), and the chicken is without peer. The crunchy, peppery batter on the wings and drumsticks keeps the meat inside perfectly tender. As the menu says: "Puts the Colonel to shame.... Is cooked to order. Please allow eight minutes for wings, thirteen minutes for drumsticks." When your plate of steaming poultry arrives with a side of batter-dipped fries, you'll know it was worth the wait. On a menu full of combos named in honor of local high schools, the best lunch value is the "Booker T. Washington Lucky 2 Special": two wings, two drums, "two wonderful onion rings," and two vegetables -- choices include fries, mashed potatoes, black-eyed peas, collards, and macaroni and cheese. (Any place that considers macaroni and cheese a vegetable is okay with us.) Wash it all down with a "flop" (half lemonade, half iced tea), and taste why Jumbo's has been a fixture in the Northwest since 1955.
Oh, we know the myth. The best hamburgers are made from ground chuck, because the meat has more fat in it. The fat then prevents the burger from shrinking into a McDonald's-esque disk while cooking. Well, baloney. At the downtown location of Morton's, the hamburger is a full eight ounces of lean ground sirloin. Hard to feel guilty eating that. And it's just about the juiciest thing we've encountered outside the Chris Paciello story. The single drawback? The burger is served only during the noontime meal. Still, order with a side of lyonnaise taters, and that's what we call a power lunch.
This converted no-tell motel on South Dixie is painted a really disgusting shade of green; a more reliable harbinger of the food within can be seen in the clusters of patrons on the benches outside the front door, eagerly awaiting their tables. Inside it's long and narrow, with a boxcarlike feel, but the friendly service and the pungent scent of Thai basil, fish sauce, and chili paste more than compensate for the cramped quarters. A Thai restaurant is only as good as its pad thai, and this one kills: a light hand with the ground pork, and it actually has plenty of shrimp! The rich curries are excellent, as are appetizers like tiger tear and nam sod. The chefs also show a deft touch with seafood; if you find a restaurant of any ethnic description that can cook up a tastier whole snapper, let us know. And if you like your Thai food with plenty of fire, you'll be pleased to know Siam Lotus Room actually takes you at your word when you ask for "four stars" of spiciness. Ouch! Hurts so good.
You just made it. Booth okay? Care for a beverage? Will that be the pasta fagioli or the garden salad? And your rolls: plain or dripping with garlic? For dinner there's lasagna, stuffed shells, eggplant rollatini, chicken parmigiana, veal cacciatore, linguine in clam sauce, ziti with sausage, or something else ... I forgot; I'll be right back. What do you mean you're full? No dessert? Either way it's $7.95. Come on, take the cannoli! (Oh well, just come back: The early bird special is offered seven days a week, 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.)
Tart enough. Sweet enough. Mellow yellow filling, almost ecru. Velvety texture. Moist, crumbly graham cracker crust. Outside edge daintily adorned with a ring of whipped cream. Center garnished with more cream and a twisted lime slice. Ideal to serve to your friends, but at close to ten bucks, certainly not meant to throw at your enemies.
Some folks visit this corner storefront eatery for its baked pastas. Other patrons go for its wonderfully prepared veal scaloppine dishes and fillets of fish sprinkled with capers. And most appreciate the lengths the staff goes to ensure that even those waiting for a table outside have a glass of refreshment. We, however, frequent the cafe for its absolutely fresh caesar salad, which is redolent with garlic, Parmesan, and the all-important anchovies. Oh, we know picky diners don't like to look an anchovy fillet in the eye, so to speak. But you don't have to. The dressing here incorporates chopped anchovies, not whole ones, so you get the proper flavor without being, well, grossed out. Best of all, the kitchen will split an order for you, and the results usually are two huge salads for the price of one.

move the mirror so it points down, put something soft on the ground so if you drop it the glass won't break. I used a trim tool but a screw driver will work, be careful not to mark the mirror housing. The glass is in a plastic housing and you pry between it and the mirror housing, the glass and the plasic will pop off. Then you will see the torx screw, remove it and pull the motor unit straight out. In behind there is an electrical connector with about 8 pins, clean the pins and the socket and it should work.
Hope this helps. I don't recall where I found the DIY instructions with pictures.

What do you think of the news that Michele Bachmann is sizing up a run for the presidency? Intriguing:
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared today on ABC News's Top Line, where she did not say "no" about the possibility of running for president. But at the same time, based on her other statements in the interview, it seemed like this could be more about seeking a platform to speak on the issues she cares about.
Jonathan Karl asked Bachmann point blank whether she was thinking about running for president.
"I am going to Iowa," Bachmann responded with a smile. "There's your answer. I'm going to Iowa."
Bachmann then said the reason she is going to Iowa was, "What I'm seeing is the focus has been on the personality: Who will be the nominee in 2012?" Instead, she said, the discussion should be about the issues facing the country, and the honing of the overall conservative message -- and of course, about making sure that the party will nominate "a courageous constitutional conservative."
Inevitably, there will be comparison to you-know-who, simply because both are women. But that's only natural. If there were two Latinos or two Floridians or two ex-Marines or two anythings running for something, they'd be compared. So let's compare.
I think it's clear that Bachmann is smarter than Palin. I mean, hey, at least she was reading Gore Vidal novels when she was young. At a similar age Palin probably thought Gore Vidal was a brand of liver tonic or something (say it fast). Plus, being in Congress for six years, well, she has presumably learned a few things about policy in spite of herself.
And yet, she's obviously a far less serious candidate. I could see Palin getting the nomination under a, b and c circumstances. I can't picture Bachmann getting there under any circumstance short of truly bizarre. She'd be kind of a right-wing equivalent of Dennis Kucinich.
I suppose it's just because Bachmann is less of a star than Palin. By the way on the subject of Palin, read this review of her reality show from USA Today, by the Alaska writer Nick Jans, who evidently actually knows how to hunt and fish and so forth:
Faced with that hapless animal, this darling of Second Amendment supporters nervously asks her dad whether the small-caliber rifle kicks. Then, even more astoundingly, her father repeatedly works the bolt and loads for her as she misses shot after shot before scoring a kill on the seventh round — enough bullets for a decent hunter to take down at least five animals. (Given Palin's infamous tweet "Don't retreat, reload," we can infer she plans to keep her dad close by.) Later, Palin blames the scope, but any marksman would recognize the flinching, the unsteady aim and poor shot selection — and the glaring ethical fault of both shooter and gun owner if the rifle wasn't properly sighted. Instead of some frontier passion play, we're rendered a dark comedy of errors.
Does it kick? Even I know that's a question that somebody who really knew guns wouldn't ask.

Footballer denies firework charge
A Shrewsbury Town footballer has pleaded not guilty to injuring a teenage girl in an alleged incident involving a firework.
Luke Rodgers appeared before a judge at Warwick Crown Court charged with causing bodily harm to the girl.
The 21-year-old, who is one of Shrewsbury's leading goal-scorers, is alleged to have thrown a lit firework, which hit the 16-year-old student as she was walking near her home in Castle Bromwich on 10 October.
The girl was treated in hospital for serious burns.
An order has been imposed banning the media from naming the girl.
During a brief hearing on Monday, Mr Rodgers, from Hodge Hill, Birmingham, denied the charge.
The case was adjourned until 21 January and Mr Rodgers was granted bail.

Vitamin D Suppresses the Pathogenic Behavior of Primary Th17 Cells from Patients with Early RA in Synovial Fibroblast Activation.

Vitamin D is a secosteroid hormone that is produced on the skin under the influence of sunlight or is obtained from the diet. In the liver, the inactive precursor vitamin D3 is converted to the hormonal precursor 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3). In the kidneys and extrarenal tissue, 25(OH)D3 is converted into its most active metabolite 1,25(OH)2D3. It has been shown that 1,25(OH)2D3 has immunomodulatory effects in many experimental autoimmune models. Recently, we showed that vitamin D modulated Th17 polarization and IL-22 expression by memory T cells from patients with early rheumatoid arthritis and stimulates IL-4 production by PBMC from early RA patients.
To identify the effect of vitamin D on the pathogenic behavior of primary Th17 cells on synovial fibroblast (RASF) activation both from patients with early RA.
From PBMC of patients with early RA, CCR6+CD45RO+CD4+ Th17 cells were FACS sorted and co-cultured with early RA synovial fibroblasts (RASF) in the absence or presence of Vitamin D. Supernatant of these cultures were analyzed for the production of inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) with ELISA. Transcription of genes involved in the differentiation and function of T cells or genes expressed by activated RASF were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR analysis. In addition, TNF-alpha and IL-17A blocking experiments were performed in these co-cultures.
Th17-RASF co-culture experiments revealed an increase of IL-6, IL-8, and MMP-1 and MMP-3. Vitamin D significantly suppressed the production of IL-6 and MMP-3 in these co cultures. Interestingly, the specific enhanced autocrine production of IL-17 due to this Th17-RASF interaction was significantly inhibited by vitamin D. In addition, markedly suppressed expression of RORgammat and significantly enhanced expression of GATA3 was noted in the presence of vitamin D. No effect of vitamin D was observed on T-bet and FoxP3 expression. In addition, lower IL-22 and enhanced IL-10 production was found in the presence of vitamin D. The regulatory effects of vitamin D on IL-17 production in the Th17-RASF co culture was comparable to neutralizing IL-17 and on IL-6 production comparable to neutralizing TNF or IL-17.
These data show that vitamin D modulates the pathogenic behavior of primary Th17 cells in their activation of synovial fibroblasts. In addition, vitamin D suppresses the pro-inflammatory IL-17 loop between Th17 and RASF cells. These data suggest that the activation of the vitamin D pathway may have therapeutic potential for the treatment or even prevention of persistent arthritis.

A strange thing happened last week in Reno.
Scott Peterson's attorney was in the same room with his prosecutors. Robert Blake's attorney was also there, as were his prosecutor and judge. Kobe Bryant's attorney, prosecutor and judge also made extended appearances. Others included the Washington, D.C. sniper's prosecutor, a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judge and the judge who oversaw the case of Seattle's Green River Killer.
To that mix, add well-known journalists who cover trials across the country. And, while you're add it, throw in some public relations specialists.
No, it was not the apocalypse, though the odds of getting 80-something such people together are probably lower than the odds of winning anything in the nearby casinos.
They gathered for the 2005 National Conference on Courts and Media, put on by the National Judicial College, which trains judges from across the country. The goal: Discuss how media coverage of high-profile trials has changed since the O.J. Simpson trial a decade ago, and figure out ways to make improvements.
By the time Tuesday morning rolled around, there were no definitive answers. We did, however, leave with questions and ideas to ponder, such as more legal training for journalists, cameras in courtrooms, and coordination between court personnel and the media.
Even though celebrity trials don't generally happen in San Joaquin County, I've seen the media swarm. When Sarah Dutra was charged with murdering her boss with horse tranquilizer, camera crews swarmed around the courtroom doors. It became a nightly joke to flip between news channels to see how many times I appeared in the background.
And when the FBI recently descended on Lodi in a large terror investigation, the national media also arrived. They brought satellite trucks, taxis, spotlights and demands.
Conference attendees heard I was from Lodi and knew about the terrorism case. They asked me about details, and my answer wasn't surprising for the frustrated journalists trying to inform the public: Many documents are sealed.
But by the end of the conference, we had all seen viewpoints other than our own. Some, like Thomas Mesereau Jr., who represented Michael Jackson, said he only thinks of his clients and not the public.
He commanded attention at a panel discussion when he began speaking about his views on the fact that virtually every document was sealed in Jackson's trial.
The speech was a bit too much for Linda Deutsch, the veteran Associated Press court reporter whose name is known to most court reporters and criminal attorneys. Jackson may have called her from Bahrain when the trial ended just to thank her for her fair coverage, but that certainly didn't detract from her ultimate goal: To make the public aware.
As soon as Mesereau finished talking about how he liked having the documents sealed, Deutsch sailed right in and all 80-something people in the room went silent. (In the interest of full disclosure, she's my cousin. But I certainly wasn't the only one sitting there in awe.)
A staunch advocate of the First Amendment, Deutsch wants courts open to the media, including cameras. She wants the public to see what happens in court, and she gets upset when hearings are closed, cameras are barred and judges issue sweeping gag orders to bar everyone from talking about a case.
Taxpayers fund the courthouse, along with the salaries of judges, prosecutors and many of the defense attorneys. They deserve to know what's going on in court, and to make sure the process is kept in check.
One prosecutor, who is handling a case against former NBA star Jayson Williams, wasn't convinced. Neither was Mesereau.
But Michael McCann, who prosecuted Jeffrey Dahmer, said he had no problem with courtrooms being open to cameras and the public. "I'm a prosecutor, but first I'm a free American," he said.
And Robert Blake's attorney, M. Gerald Schwartzbach, said his views had since changed, and he understood the importance of the public's right to know what is happening in the justice system.
What I realized more than ever is that we all have a job to do, whether it's informing the public, protecting the public or defending the public.
And, when it comes down to it, we're just people. When I first saw the list of conference attendees, I wondered if I'd be intimidated. I'll admit that I also wondered if some of the attorneys would be arrogant snobs.
For instance, even though Mesereau with his shoulder-length white hair became so recognizable on television during Jackson's spectacle of a trial, he walked through a casino without turning heads.
Schwartzbach blended in, too, though anybody listening would have soon learned that he always speaks in an animated, intense fashion. He doesn't just speak clearly, but his facial expressions and hands also convey his point.
Whether he's talking about his views on the death penalty or cracking a joke about his short stature, it's the same. For instance, he joked that before he agrees to represent a client, he asks, "Can you provide me a chair so that my head reaches about the defense table?"
Layla Bohm, the assistant city editor at the News-Sentinel, also covers police and courts.

Has the NBN been put on hold?
While Labor and the Coalition continue to struggle for the balance of power after Saturday's election, the fate of Labor's National Broadband Network (NBN) remains uncertain.
Many Australians are speculating whether the NBN has been put on hold until any definitive results are in concerning Australia's next government, or whether the fibre optics for the NBN are still being rolled out across the country.
The fate of Australia's Parliament could take another week to resolve, however the National Broadband Network Company (NBN Co) has not yet confirmed whether the NBN has been put on hold.
Fibre optic cables have already been rolled out in some of the planned early release sites for Labor's NBN. However, if next week Labor is no longer in power, the NBN may be scrapped altogether.
Katherine Sainty, a communications and media lawyer and director of Sainty Law, has said she would expect NBN Co to continue to roll out the fibre optics across the early stage release sites under legal obligations with contractors.
The future of the NBN will not be determined until either Labor or the Coalition can form government. However, the three independent MPs who may determine which party will form the next government have each indicated they want a regional broadband solution.

Wechsler H, Rigotti NA, Gledhill-Hoyt J, Lee H. Increased Levels of Cigarette Use Among College StudentsA Cause for National Concern. JAMA. 1998;280(19):1673-1678. doi:10.1001/jama.280.19.1673
© 2017
From the Department of Health and Social Behavior, Harvard School of Public Health (Dr Wechsler and Ms Gledhill-Hoyt), and the Tobacco Research and Treatment Center, Division of General Medicine, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School (Dr Rigotti), Boston; and the Center for Vaccine Research, University of California, Los Angeles (Dr Lee).
Context.— Adolescent smoking prevalence is tracked annually and has increased
since 1991. In contrast, little is known about trends in smoking among college
students, a group that has previously been more resistant to tobacco use than
other young adults.
Objective.— To examine changes in cigarette smoking among college students between
1993 and 1997 and among different types of students and colleges.
Design.— Self-administered survey (Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol
Setting.— One hundred sixteen nationally representative 4-year colleges.
Subjects.— A total of 15,103 randomly selected students in 1993 (70% response rate)
and 14,251 students in 1997 (60% response rate).
Main Outcome Measures.— Self-reports of cigarette smoking in the past 30 days and in the past
year, age at smoking first cigarette, and number of attempts to quit.
Results.— Over 4 years, the prevalence of current (30-day) cigarette smoking rose
by 27.8%, from 22.3% to 28.5% (P<.001). The increase
was observed in 99 of 116 colleges and was statistically significant (P<.05) in 27 (23%) of them. Current smoking increased
across all student subgroups (defined by sex, race/ethnicity, and year in
school) and in all types of colleges. Smoking is rising faster in public schools
(from 22.0% to 29.3%) than in private schools (from 22.9% to 26.8%). Eleven
percent of college smokers had their first cigarette and 28% began to smoke
regularly at or after age 19 years, by which time most were already in college.
Half of current smokers tried to quit in the previous year; 18% had made 5
or more attempts to quit.
Conclusions.— Cigarette use is increasing on campuses nationwide in all subgroups
and types of colleges. Substantial numbers of college students are both starting
to smoke regularly and trying to stop. National efforts to reduce smoking
should be extended to college students.
CIGARETTE SMOKING is the leading preventable cause of morbidity and
mortality in the United States, responsible for more than 400,000 deaths per
year.1,2 Despite a dramatic reduction
in smoking prevalence during the past 30 years, tobacco remains stubbornly
popular among adolescents and young adults, in whom nearly all smoking starts.3 Among high school students, cigarette use increased
by 32% between 1991 and 1997, following a decade of relative stability.3- 5 Unless many of these
teenagers quit soon after adolescence, the rise in youth smoking will be reflected
in rising smoking rates among young adults (aged 18-24 years). Ultimately,
this trend threatens to slow or reverse the decline in adult smoking prevalence
that has occurred since 1965 in the United States.1,6
The smoking behavior of college students can provide valuable information
about trends in smoking among young adults. United States colleges and universities
enroll more than 12 million students, the majority of whom are aged 18 to
24 years.7 One quarter of young adults in this
age group in the United States attend college full- or part-time.8 The college years provide an opportunity for interventions
to prevent future premature morbidity and mortality by discouraging the initiation
or continuation of harmful health-related behaviors such as tobacco use.9- 11
Cigarette smoking prevalence among college students was assessed by
2 separate cross-sectional surveys in the 1990s,12,13
but only the Monitoring the Future Study provides information about changes
over time.14 This annual survey tracks smoking
in a national sample of high school students and follows a subsample after
graduation, when some are full-time students at 2- and 4-year colleges.14 Smoking among college students in this study remained
steady from 1986 through 1990 and then increased, reaching 27% in 1995. This
finding needs to be examined in a larger group of students selected from a
nationally representative sample of colleges. This article analyzes data from
the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study to report changes
in cigarette smoking between 1993 and 1997 in 2 large random samples of students
enrolled at a nationally representative sample of US 4-year colleges. The
analysis examines subgroups of students and colleges to determine where change
is occurring most rapidly.
The 1993 College Alcohol Study surveyed a random sample of students
in 140 four-year US colleges.15 Initially,
a random sample of 179 schools was selected from the American Council on Education's
list of accredited universities using probability proportionate to size sampling.
Because the sample contained few women-only colleges and few colleges with
enrollments of fewer than 1000 students, 10 additional women's colleges and
15 additional small colleges were added to the sample. Nine colleges were
subsequently dropped because they were considered inappropriate (seminary
schools, military schools, and allied health schools), creating a final sample
of 195 colleges. Of this sample, 140 colleges (72%) participated in the 1993
In 1997, 130 (93%) of the original 140 colleges that participated in
the 1993 College Alcohol Study were resurveyed. In both years, the main reason
for nonparticipation was administrators' inability to provide a random sample
of students' addresses within time requirements. Fourteen of the 130 schools
that participated in both years had low response rates (defined as less than
45% of eligible students responding) in either year and were not included
in the final analysis, leaving a final sample of 116 colleges in both years.
The 116 schools represent a cross-section of US higher education. They
are located in 39 states, with 22% in the Northeast, 29% in the South, 29%
in the North Central region, and 19% in the West. More than two thirds of
the colleges sampled are public institutions; the remainder are private. School
enrollment was divided into 3 categories: large schools with more than 10,000
students enrolled (47%), medium-sized schools with 5001 to 10,000 students
enrolled (21%), and small schools with 5000 or fewer students enrolled (32%).
About two thirds are located in an urban or suburban setting and one third
in a small town or rural setting. Sixteen percent have a religious affiliation.
Five percent enroll only women.
In both years, administrators at each college were asked to provide
a random sample of undergraduates drawn from the total enrollment of full-time
students. Colleges were sent specific guidelines for drawing a random sample
of full-time students. Depending on enrollment size, every xth student was selected from the student registry using a random starting
point. In 1997, a sample of 230 students was provided from each of the 130
participating colleges. In 1993, a sample of 215 students was provided from
each of the participating colleges, except that at 13 of the smallest schools,
only 108 were drawn.
The questionnaire, largely about alcohol use, also assessed demographic
and background characteristics, smoking, and other high-risk behaviors. The
main questions regarding substance use and lifestyle were identical in the
1993 and 1997 survey instruments.15 Whenever
possible, questions were based on questions previously used in other large-scale
studies.14,16 To assess cigarette
smoking, respondents were asked when, if ever, they had used cigarettes. Response
options were "never used," "used, but not in the past 12 months," "used, but
not in the past 30 days," or "used in the past 30 days." A parallel question
asked about marijuana use. Students were asked how many tobacco cigarettes
per day they smoked on average. The 1997 survey also asked students how old
they were when they first smoked a cigarette and when they started smoking
Questionnaires were mailed to students at the end of February 1997.
Three separate mailings were sent within at least a 3-week period: a questionnaire,
a reminder postcard, and a second questionnaire. Responses were voluntary
and anonymous. Students were encouraged to respond with cash awards. By the
end of April 1997, 84% of the final group of questionnaires had been returned;
15% arrived in May and 1% each in June and July. The 1993 survey was conducted
in a similar manner.15
In 1997, questionnaires were mailed to 24,140 students at the 116 schools
after eliminating students with incorrect addresses, withdrawal from school,
or leaves of absence. A total of 14,521 students (60%) returned questionnaires.
In 1993, 15,103 (70%) of the 21,512 students returned questionnaires. Response
rate varied among the 130 colleges that participated in both years. In 1993,
response rates were between 18% and 100%, with 2 colleges having response
rates of less than 45%. In 1997, response rates varied from 26% to 88%, with
12 colleges having response rates of less than 45%. In both years, the rate
of current cigarette use for the 116 schools was nearly identical to the rate
for 130 schools (28.5% and 28.4%, respectively, in 1997; 22.3% and 22.5%,
respectively, in 1993). Other smoking behaviors were similarly unaffected
by dropping the 14 low-response schools.
Several procedures were used to examine potential bias introduced by
student nonresponse. Response rates at individual colleges were not associated
with the 30-day smoking rate. The Pearson correlation coefficient between
a college's 30-day smoking rate and its response rate was −0.08 (P=.39) in 1993 and –0.08 (P
= .38) in 1997. There was no statistically significant difference in 30-day
smoking rates between students who responded early vs late in either 1993
(χ2, 1.03; P=.31) or 1997 (χ2, 0.69; P=.41). In 1997, a short form of the
questionnaire including a smoking question was mailed to a segment of students
who had failed to return the questionnaire. The rate of 30-day smoking of
those responding to the short survey did not differ significantly from that
of those responding to the entire student survey.
Statistical analyses were carried out using SAS statistical software.17,18 There was little difference between
unweighted and weighted sample results in both years when compared, so unweighted
results are reported. Differences among the demographic characteristics between
survey years were compared by χ2 analysis. Percentage change
in smoking prevalence between 1993 and 1997 was measured; confidence intervals
(CIs) and significance tests were carried out by the large sample approximation
of testing for the equality of 2 independent binomial proportions.
All students except those who reported that they never smoked were considered
to be ever smokers. Former smokers were defined as
students who had ever smoked, but not in the past 30 days. Current smokers were defined as students who smoked in the past 30
days. Current marijuana users were defined as those
who had used marijuana in the past 30 days. Binge drinking was defined as the consumption of 5 or more drinks in a row for men
and 4 or more drinks in a row for women during the 2 weeks prior to the survey,
as previously described.15
Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to examine the change
in prevalence between 1993 and 1997 in subgroups of demographic and college
characteristics. Stratified percentage changes and adjusted odds ratios (ORs)
were reported. Inclusion of all the 2-way interaction terms involving demographics,
college characteristics, and year of survey were initially considered in the
multiple logistic regression equation, but none of them remained statistically
significant. Only statistically significant predictors with P<.0001 by a stepwise multiple logistic regression were kept in
the final logistic model, except for sex. These included year of survey, race/ethnicity,
year in school, region, commuter school, competitiveness, and public/private
status. Adjusted ORs and their asymptotic 95% CIs were reported. There was
only slight estimated exchangeable working correlation assuming that the correlation
is exchangeable between any pair within a cluster (r=0.01).
The final logistic regression model was fitted again by the generalized estimating
equations19,20 approach, with
an exchangeable working correlation, to make more robust inference using clustered
outcomes due to our sampling scheme. The point estimates of the ORs obtained
from the generalized estimating equations method were almost identical to
those from ordinary logistic regression estimation, while the SEs of the ORs
associated with the college characteristics were slightly larger. Hence, the
results are not reported here.
Table 1 displays characteristics
of the respondents in 1993 (N=15,103) and 1997 (N=14,521), all of whom were
enrolled at 1 of the 116 participating US 4-year colleges. The sample includes
more women than men, partly because of the inclusion of 6 women's institutions.
It is similar to national estimates that 54% of undergraduates at 4-year institutions
in 1995 were women.21 The sample was predominantly
white, resembling national 1995 data reporting that 78% of students at 4-year
institutions were white.21 Because of the large
sample size, the 1993 and 1997 samples differed statistically significantly
on most demographic characteristics, but the absolute percentage differences
were minor. Demographic differences for year in school, race/ethnicity, and
sex were controlled for in the multiple logistic regression models.
Table 2 displays the change
in college students' tobacco use between 1993 and 1997. The proportion of
college students who reported current cigarette smoking rose 28% between 1993
and 1997 (P<.0001). An increase was observed at
99 (85%) of 116 colleges in the sample and was statistically significant (P<.05) for 27 schools (23%). Smoking prevalence decreased
significantly in only 1 school. The proportion of students who had ever smoked
and the proportion who had smoked in the past year also rose significantly
during the 4-year interval. In contrast, the proportion of students who quit
in the past year and the quit ratio (the proportion of former smokers divided
by the proportion of ever smokers) decreased. Current smokers' daily tobacco
consumption changed significantly (P<.001) during
the 4-year period. The largest absolute increase was in regular light smokers
(1-9 cigarettes per day). In both years, more than 40% of smokers averaged
less than 1 cigarette per day, indicating that they did not smoke on a daily
basis. Less than 15% of current smokers smoked as much as 1 pack of cigarettes
The prevalence of current smoking increased over time across all subgroups
defined by sex, race/ethnicity, age, and year in school (Table 3). The increase was statistically significant for all demographic
subgroups except Hispanic students. There were no statistically significant
interactions between these factors and year of survey, indicating that no
group was increasing its smoking rate faster than any other. Instead, there
appeared to be a general rise in smoking among all college students.
The rise in smoking prevalence was also seen across all the college
subgroups (Table 4). There were
statistically significant interaction terms between survey year and 2 factors,
public/private status and geographic region. Smoking prevalence increased
faster in public colleges than it did in private schools (adjusted OR, 1.18; P=.005). It also rose more rapidly in the North Central
region (adjusted OR, 1.13; P=.04) and less rapidly
in the Northeast (adjusted OR, 0.82; P=.003). These
interactions failed to meet significance when all demographic and college
characteristics were controlled for in the final multiple logistic regression.
The increase in current smoking prevalence between 1993 and 1997 remained
statistically significant after adjustment for demographic and college characteristics
in a multiple logistic regression model (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.33-1.48; Table 5). Smoking prevalence was higher
in whites than blacks or Asians and higher in freshmen, sophomores, and juniors
than seniors and fifth-year students. Sex was not associated with smoking
Smoking prevalence was independently associated with several college
characteristics. Prevalence was lower at private than public schools, lower
at commuter schools (defined as schools where 90% or more of the students
lived off campus) than at residential schools, and lower at highly competitive
schools (based on ACT and SAT scores and percentages of applicants accepted)
compared with less-competitive schools.22 Schools
in the Northeast, North Central, and South regions had higher smoking rates
than schools in the West. Smoking prevalence did not differ between rural
and urban schools, between women's and coeducational institutions, or between
schools with and without a religious affiliation.
Data on the age of first tobacco use and attempts to quit were collected
only on the 1997 survey. Although only 11% of smokers had their first cigarette
at or after age 19 years, more than one quarter (28%) of current smokers began
to smoke regularly at age 19 or older, at which time they were in college.
Half (n=2014) of current smokers in 1997 had quit smoking for at least 24
hours in the past year, including 18% who had made 5 or more attempts to quit.
The increase in smoking prevalence was not associated with binge drinking
or current marijuana use. Interaction terms between survey year and both binge
drinking (P=.28) and marijuana use (P=.25) were not significant, indicating that the increase in smoking
during the 4-year period was independent of alcohol or marijuana use. Binge
drinking decreased by 3%, from 44.1% to 42.7%, between 1993 and 1997, while
current marijuana use increased by 21%, from 12.7% to 15.4%.
This study clearly indicates that cigarette smoking prevalence is rising
among college students. The increase is occurring broadly across all types
of students and colleges, although the rise is more rapid in public colleges
than private. This might reflect a difference by students' socioeconomic status
but because this factor was not directly measured, we cannot be certain. The
rise in college student smoking found in this study confirms a previous report
from the Monitoring the Future Study14 and
is consistent with other national data. According to the National Health Interview
Survey (NHIS), smoking among all US young adults aged 18 to 24 years began
to rise after 1991.6,23 College
student smoking prevalence in our 1993 survey (22%) was slightly higher than
that reported by the 1993 NHIS for young adults with 13 or more years of education
(19.6% of men and 16.0% of women). By 1995, the most recent year for which
NHIS data are available, young adult smoking prevalence had risen to 24.0%
of men and 18.5% of women (unpublished data, Office on Smoking and Health,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Ga, 1998). The National
College Health Risk Behavior Study reported a 29% smoking rate among full-
and part-time students in 2- and 4-year colleges in 1995. We observed a similar
smoking prevalence 2 years later in our survey that includes only 4-year colleges.
The discrepancy may be attributable to the lack in our sample of 2-year colleges
that may have higher smoking rates.
The rise in college student smoking appears to be a consequence of the
rise in adolescent smoking that occurred earlier in the 1990s. The college
students surveyed in 1997 were high school seniors between 1993 and 1996,
during which time high school seniors' smoking prevalence rates rose progressively
following a decade of stability.4,5
The cohort of college students surveyed in 1997 had a higher smoking prevalence
at college entry than did the 1993 survey cohort. These data suggest that
the rise in adolescent smoking that occurred in the 1990s is not a transient
phenomenon. They will likely have higher smoking rates as adults and thereby
contribute to higher overall adult smoking rates in future years.
In addition, an increase in smoking initiation during the college years
or a decrease in the proportion of students who stop smoking could also contribute
to rising college smoking rates. There was a small decrease in the proportion
of students who quit smoking in the past year. Our data cannot determine whether
smoking initiation rates among college students are changing because this
question was asked only in 1997. Only 11% of that sample reported starting
to smoke after age 18 years, consistent with reports of other national surveys
of adults, indicating that most first cigarette use precedes the college years.23 However, more than one quarter of college students
who smoked in 1997 reported starting to smoke regularly in college and half
of current smokers in college tried to quit at least once in the preceding
year. These data suggest that college is a time of considerable change in
smoking behavior.
The college years provide a window of opportunity for interventions
focused on blocking the transition from occasional smoking to regular nicotine-dependent
smoking and for efforts to increase the success of the substantial number
of smokers who are already trying to quit. These efforts are more likely to
be successful if they are paired with environmental and policy changes that
discourage tobacco use and reinforce to young adults the message that not
smoking is the norm.24 This might be done effectively
by expanding the smoke-free areas on college campuses and especially by ensuring
that dormitories and other shared living quarters are smoke-free. In addition
to eliminating secondhand smoke, smoke-free areas limit the visibility and
accessibility of cigarettes and may discourage smoking initiation, help keep
occasional smokers from becoming regular users, and boost the success of those
who are trying to quit.
The results of this study must be viewed within the context of its limitations.
The lower response rate to the 1997 survey might have biased our findings.
However, several tests performed to detect potential bias found none. Smoking
rates in 1997 did not differ between early and late responders or between
responders and a sample of nonresponders and there was no correlation between
smoking rates and response rates at individual schools. Furthermore, the smoking
prevalence in this study in both 1993 and 1997 is consistent with rates found
in other national surveys. Using students' self-report for assessment of smoking
status is widely accepted because biochemical measures have established the
validity of self-reported smoking status in national surveys.25,26
Underreporting of smoking status is probably even less likely in this survey,
which focused on alcohol rather than tobacco use. The present study examines
only 1 aspect of tobacco use, cigarette smoking. Smokeless tobacco use, also
assessed in our survey, will be the subject of a separate article. Our study
did not assess cigar use, which is rising in adolescents.27
Hence, our results may underestimate both the prevalence and the increase
in college students' overall tobacco use.
These findings should be a source of concern to those interested in
reducing tobacco use among young people. The increase in smoking first seen
in middle school and high school students has reached the college population,
a group with lower smoking rates, considered to be the most resistant to smoking,
and with probably the greatest access to information about the effect of smoking
on health. Education level is one of the strongest correlates of nonsmoking,
and college students are less likely to smoke than similar-aged young adults
who are not attending college.6,14,28,29
These results are a cause for alarm and call for an examination and strengthening
of prevention efforts from middle school through college. College might be
an opportune time to intervene to prevent transition from occasional smoking
to regular nicotine-dependent smoking and a time to teach occasional and regular
smokers why and how to quit. Smoking prevention has focused on middle schools
and high schools; colleges should not be overlooked as places where there
is an opportunity for smoking intervention. The national debate on smoking
policies, which has focused mainly on youth younger than 18 years, should
be expanded to include the college-aged population, whose future health should
be a national priority.

About Me
I have been running since 1994. On an invite to Hood to Coast I thought I could do it with ease (26 and bullet proof I was wrong, it hurt, but I became a runner. 80 marathons and ultras later, I am actually a coach, work in a running store and won my first marathon at age 40! It's been a long and unique Journey.
My first running partner was my late wife, she passed away from a brain tumor in 2003. However, it was through running that I kept my sanity, and not only met my new wife Tiedji and asked her to marry me, we were also married during a 1/2 marathon in 2005.
In 2012 My wife and I ran 12 marathons in 12 months. I was still able to climb on the podium in 6 of them. The journey was awesome. Especially her idea to finish at the Reggae Marathon in Jamaica, such a special day/week.

"These rogues and villains were chosen because they made public statements about how man-made global warming is a crisis and how mankind must take immediate and drastic actions to stop it," the Heartland website states.

Sao Paulo (AFP) Aug 25, 2011
Brazilian scientists have discovered an underground river some 4,000 meters (13,000) feet deep, which flows from west to east like the country's famous waterway.
A statement this week from Brazil's National Observatory named the underground river Hamza and said it represents one of two different draining systems for the large rainforest region.
A team of scientists led by Elizabeth Pimentel came to the conclusion from studying 241 wells drilled by the state oil giant Petrobras in the Amazon region.
Even though the two rivers cover a similar path they have differences. The underground river flows at a far slower pace and empties into the ocean deep underground.
"It is likely that this river is responsible for the low level of salinity in the waters around the mouth of the Amazon," the statement said.

Hi. I've got a problem getting my .NET 4 Web Application to work in IIS 6. I'll retrace what I've done and hopefully someone might spot a gotcha. At least I hope to get an idea of where to look next.
I've upgraded my .NET 3.5 site to .NET 4.0 using Visual Studio 2010 conversion wizard. I've published the site as both a web site and a virtual directory on our Intranet with different results each time. For both configs I have made a separate Application Pool and associated them with it.
As a WebSite:
I have the site files sitting in their own directory. I set the .NET version to 4.0 in Web Site propeties and use windows authentication only. I restart IIS. The site attempts to authenticate but fails after 3 attempts. I've checked the credentials I'm entering and they are valid.
As A Virtual Directory:
I have the site files sitting in a subdirectory of the main web application. I set the .NET version to 4.0 in Web Site propeties and use windows authentication only. I restart IIS. When I go to the virtual directory address, I get a page not found error.
There are no errors in Event Viewer that I can see so from here I've no idea what to do to try and figure out why my site won't work.

I think you have not selected version for application pool. You need to select version of .net framework for application pool also.
Apr 28, 2010 07:21 PM|chrisdid|LINK
There are no version selections for Application Pool in IIS6.
But I figured it anyway. I had to allow .net 4 in Web Extensions. So the Virtual Directory method is currently working.
Now I'm getting "value for the 'compilerVersion' attribute in the provider options must be 'v4.0' or later" message. I've put a location tag in the parent site web.config file and told it not to inherit, but I still get the error. I'm sure I'll figure it in time though.
Thanks for posting.

<p>With the new .NET 4 framework, comes some problems if you are running it on IIS 6 Windows Server. IIS 6 does not let you have more than one framework at the time running in the same instance like IIS7 that can create Application Pool targeting different framework. </p>
When IIS 6 runs under ASP.NET 2.0 (3.0 and 3.5 are superset, not frameworks) you are going to hit this error if the application is 4.0
Configuration Error Description:
An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.
You have a few options;
1. Downgrade the .NET application to 3.5 that Visual Studio 2010 makes it really easy. Just go to the Website properties -> Application tab and there is a drop down with all the framework releases, select 3.5, you VS2010 will reload the project and modify the web.config, if you added web service reference, that you may have to delete them and re-add them under 3.5
2. To configure the IIS6 and web config to solve the issue. I deal with the second part:
1. In IIS 6 console, you need to right click you project and click the property and check the ASP.Net tab whether Framework 4 is selected or not. If not select the framework 4. But still you might face the same error because of the application pool; you might have same application pool for two different framework web application. IIS 6 does not let you have more than one framework at the time running in the same instance (means single application pool can't use for two different frameworks) like IIS7 that can create Application Pool targeting different framework.
2. To solve this issue you need to create application pool and assigned this application pool to you framework 4 web application. To assign the application pool, in IIS console open the properties section of the web application, and click on the "Home directory" tab and selection application pool which you have created earlier from drop-down-list.
3. This two might now solve your problem completely sometime. You can get the error as "404 Page is not found". Though you might now have any issue while in development time.
4. Basically page is not found issue is cause of other problem which is set hidden by is IIS6 . But you need to see the real cause. What you have do here is go to the IIS6 console open "web service extension node" which is right below the "default website" node. You will see the entire ASP.Net framework list over there, by default these frameworks might be prohibited so please select ASP.Net Framework 4 and click allow button. Browse you website now, you get other error beside "404 Page is not found". You might get the error as listed below:
5. The value for the 'compilerVersion' attribute in the provider options must be 'v4.0'
You'll see following error when browsing the website
The value for the 'compilerVersion' attribute in the provider options must be 'v4.0' or later if you are compiling for version 4.0 or later of the .NET Framework. To compile this Web application for version 3.5 or earlier of the .NET Framework, remove the 'targetFramework' attribute from the element of the Web.config file.
To solve this issue, you need to modify your web config file as below:
<providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5"/>
Previously the CompilerVersion value is set as v3.5 but we already change our targetFranework to 4. Thus according to the error message above the 'compilerVersion' attribute in the provider options must be 'v4.0' or later if you are compiling for version 4.0 or later of the .NET Framework. Hence your new setting will be as below:
<providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5"/>
Hope this will solve your ASP.Net 4 migration and hosting issue at IIS6.
NET 4.0 and IIS 6 Deployment problem

Thank you bibekweb. I had the same issue VS 2010, 4.0 framework, IIS6 on a vmMachine. IIS6 had 4.0 marked as "Prohibited" in the Web Service Extensions. Wonder why? Very odd......
Oct 21, 2010 08:36 AM|jambot|LINK
I've been scouring the web trying to workout the correct way to get .NET4.0 working on IIS 6. I've found a lot of useful suggestions but no complete solution. With a bit of luck though, I finally found how to do it properly. It doesn't involve commenting out code (like the "targetframework" attribute in your web config file) and it doesn't involve any other shortcuts.
Just do this:
- install .net frame work 4.0 on your web server
- within IIS, go to "web service extensions" and ensure that .NET 4.0 has been added and allowed
- setup a new application pool for your .NET 4.0 websites/webapps. In IIS 6 only one framework can run within a given app pool, so just use this pool for .NET 4.0 stuff
- create your virtual directory as usual
- right click on it and select properties. From the "virtual directory" tab, ensure that you have selected the .NET 4.0 app pool you created above
- also from the "virtual directory" tab, click "configuration" and go to the "mappings" tab
- this is the key bit. Under application mapping, ensure that the executable path for each extension you want to use is mapped to the correct .NET 4.0 DLL. For instance, on my system I wanted to configure a WCF .svc file to run under .NET 4.0. So, I selected .svc extension, clicked the "edit" button below and then browsed to the .NET 4.0 framework directry rather than the old .NET 2.0 one which was there already. I then chose the corresponding aspnet_isapi.dll file and clicked ok. Voila! It all works.
This is now up and running in corporate environment and seems to be fine.
I hope this helps somebody else out there.

Hey, just had to tackle this myself and because its quite a recent thread I thought i'd chip in.
Steps I had to take are as follows:
What that article told me in broad terms was:
The first article is aimed at showing you how to set the defaults for sites on your server from here on out so my steps above are a slight variation as I only wanted to set two specific sites to use asp.net 4 and the rest to continue defaulting to asp.net 2.0.

The Old German Baptist Church continues to flourish, and of course the Church of
>the Brethren united with the Methodists to form the United Methodist
This seems to keep being repeated and is not true.
The Church of the Brethren stands on its on today.
It was the Evangelical church and United Brethren church that merged years
ago and then as the Evangical United Brethren Church merged with the
Methodist to become United Methodist. I may not know my Brethren history
as well as others on this list but I do know the history of the latter
churches because I attended one of those during all of those mergers!

San Rafael, CA – December 28, 2011.A San Rafael Police Department Reserve Officer has been recognized with a scholarship from a national non-profit organization.
Reserve Officer Sam Garanzini received the award from Out to Protect, an organization dedicated to supporting LGBT law enforcement professionals. The $500 scholarship assisted Ofc. Garanzini while he completed the basic police academy at Santa Rosa Junior College. He graduated from the academy at the top of his class on December 1, 2011.
Garanzini, 34, is a licensed psychotherapist with a private practice in San Francisco. He comes from a large police family and he always expected that he would become a police officer someday. He was a police explorer in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri and at age 17 formed the first police explorer bicycle unit in the Midwest. Garanzini later moved to California to attend graduate school at the University of San Francisco and made San Rafael his new home. In 2010 he decided it was time to return to his law enforcement roots while maintaining his therapy practice, and he applied to become a San Rafael Police reserve officer. He said "I am very touched and humbled to have won this scholarship and proud to represent SRPD."
Lt. Raffaello Pata, who heads up the reserve officer program, said "the program is a benefit to our agency and our community as we train potential officers of the future. Reserve officers work for free, but have the same foundation and initial training as our regular officers. Sam is an excellent example of a dedicated person who volunteers his time to better our city, our community and himself."
Out to Protect was founded in 2009 and is based in Santa Rosa, California. Their mission is to create a greater awareness of the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgender professionals working in law enforcement and to support those pursuing a law enforcement career. The program is funded entirely by private donations and scholarships are typically awarded twice a year. For more information go to http://www.outtoprotect.org.

Concussion talks heating up at Super Bowl
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Activist Chris Nowinski is keeping the issue of concussions and their long-term consequences for NFL players in the public eye, and he is doing it during the league's week-long celebration that leads up to Super Bowl Sunday.
Nowinski has made daily rounds on "Radio Row" this week at the Broward County Convention Center, spreading the message that more research is needed on concussions and asking players to consider making a unique donation: their brains.
Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Will Witherspoon is considering giving his brain, after his death, to Nowinski's group, which is studying the link between sports-related concussions and mental illness. Former players such as Jerome Bettis and Tiki Barber are pondering making the same commitment.
Nowinski secured a pledge earler this week from Chicago Bears linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer to donate his brain to the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University.
Embracing concussion awareness and the steps taken to learn more about brain injuries represent a significant shift. And what Bettis, the former Steelers running back, called "the NFL's dirty little secret" is emerging from the shadows.
"There's more knowledge, more public awareness and potential for improvement than ever before," said Dr. Julian Bailes, who chairs the department of neurosurgery at West Virginia University.
Players taking action
The NFL Players' Association held a two-day conference on concussions last week, the first seminar of its kind.
Among those who spoke to the players were former Carolina Panthers linebacker Dan Morgan, who was forced into retirement because of chronic concussions, and Bailes, who has been at the forefront in the study of concussions and their long-term effects on players.
"It's good it's being addressed," said Bettis, who worries whether he will be able to function later in life because of the blows to the head he absorbed during a 13-year NFL career. "Because it's being addressed, there are going to be some massive changes, and I think it's going to help the players."
New league policies
The federal government is among those watching what changes will come from the NFL.
Congress has made it clear to commissioner Roger Goodell that it wants to see more from the NFL in regard to concussion management.
Goodell went before Congress last October, and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), accused the NFL of negligence.
Perhaps as a result of such pressure, the NFL instituted a new policy in 2009. Players are not allowed to return to the field after sustaining a concussion unless they receive clearance from an independent doctor as well as team physicians.
Bailes, who testified about the link between repeated concussions and long-term consequences such as dementia and depression, said now is the time to institute sweeping changes.
Goodell said Friday at his annual state-of-the-league address that the NFL will consider measures such as cutting back on offseason practices to limit the exposure players have to helmet-to-helmet contact.
Overcoming machismo
This season marked an advancement in the discussion of concussions.
In late November, Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward appeared to question the toughness of Ben Roethlisberger for missing a key game against the Baltimore Ravens because the quarterback was suffering symptoms from a concussion sustained the previous week.
Ward, in a nationally televised interview, said the Steelers' locker room was divided over whether Roethlisberger should play. Roethlisberger has sustained three football-related concussions since joining the Steelers in 2004.
Ward later backed off the criticism, attributing his comments to frustration. But Ward's comments reflected the machismo culture of football.
"When I heard Hines Ward say that, I shed a little tear because I thought: 'That's the last time an active player is going to speak out in a negative way on the concussion issue,'" said Nowinski, a former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler who retired in 2003 because of post-concussion syndrome. "I understand where Hines is coming from because that's the same way I was when I played. I know Hines has not been educated on the risk to Ben's career if he goes back and suffers another concussion. That's the part that's been missing, that player education."
Barber, who retired in 2006 after a 10-year playing career with the New York Giants, agreed.
"I know I played with concussions," Barber said. "I think raising awareness is the most important thing. The problem with football players is you're taught from a very young age that no matter what, you get back out there and play."
Cumulative effects
In a published paper, Bailes said players who sustain three or more concussions during their careers are more prone to depression and dementia than the general population.
Thursday, the Brain Injury Research Institute (BIRI) at West Virginia announced a partnership with the Gridiron Greats Assistant Fund, which helps former players pay for medical care.
BIRI isn't the only organization conducting extensive research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
The Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, of which Nowinski is a director, studies the brains of former players who sustained repeated concussions.
Nowinski said Dr. Ann McKee has examined the brains of 12 former college or pro football players. All, he said, had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which is the accumulation of protein in brain tissues that can cause dementia or Alzheimer's.
Nowinski said McKee needs to study 100 brains before drawing any conclusions.
The NFL, he said, has pledged money toward the study and encouraged players to donate their brains to the group.
"(Players) understand this will help them in the long run," Nowinski said. "This will help us get a handle of what's going on."
The message makes it an easy sell to the players, Witherspoon said.
"You're trying to increase a guy's longevity in the game and make sure he's healthy after the game," said Witherspoon, an eight-year NFL veteran. "We all understand this is a game where you are going to come out with some type of disability, regardless. But you want to be as healthy as you can."

Syntax Praxis Index
Correctly anticipating meaning in a sentence helps you to understand quickly and easily.
An anticipation is an intelligent feeling about what is about to occur. You can learn how to analyze how a sentence is built, but you also need to develop the ability to get an instantaneous intelligent feeling for how each part adds to the development of the meaning. Such an ability is closer to intuition than it is to analysis.
Now some analysis could help us to understand what kind of intuition we need to have. So let us analyze what happens when the object is placed first in Latin sentences.
In English, we usually expect the following order, with the (direct) object at the end:
The girl
the roses.
The boy
the sailor.
Therefore if we hear the object first, we need to "leave a blank space in our understanding" for the subject. We usually know that the object is first if we find an accusative at the start. (You obviously have to learn how to recognize the accusative endings.)
So if you hear the accusative forms rosâs or nautam at the start of a sentence, you should have a feeling that some subject is needed. You should instinctively feel what you feel about roses in the first English sentence or sailor in the second, namely that something else is acting on it (or him, or her, or them) and that the first person, place, or thing just mentioned is not being highlighted as the subject of the action in the idea being expressed.
That is, if you hear rosâs or nautam starting a sentence, you should feel what the following table indicates:
the roses.
the sailor.
That is after an initial rosâs or nautam, you should have the kind of anticipation that is expressed by the following questions:
"Well, what happens to the roses? Who does what to them?"
"Well, what happens to the sailor? Who does what to him?"
The structure of the meaning is something like what we feel when we hear someone saying: "Him...I just don´t like." The word Him is the (direct) object even though it is unusual for English to put the direct object first in the sentence. We all instinctively know that the word Him cannot serve as a subject and that someone or something else has to be the agent. We are ready to interpret "I" as the subject.
When you get this feeling for the Latin objects that are given first, you are then prepared to interpret the rest of the sentence more quickly:
Rosâs ... videt puella. = The girl sees the roses.
Nautam ... puer vocat. = The boy calls the sailor.
Notice that the subject may or may not come second. The verb may or may not come at the end. These are other patterns for you to "get a feel for." And Latin might not even express the subject with an entire word, but only with a personal verb-ending, presented here in red:
Rosâs vident . = They see the roses.
Nautam vocâmus. = We call the sailor.
Your task, then, is to read and say aloud and hear yourself saying the Latin, while understanding the meaning, until you feel very familiar with a particular pattern of words as an expression of the particular meaning of the sentence.
Practice comprehension!
Time spent doing this even with simple and obvious sentences will reward you later with many hours saved as you attain the ability to understand Latin sentences much more quickly and easily.
Anticipating meaning in the right way makes all the difference. Start with small units of meaning and practice them until they become automatic.

Madness as FreedomIs madness a sort of independence for Ophelia? How does her madness differ from that of Hamlet's?

1 Answer
Hers is not feigned, for one. Hamlet pretends to be mad much of the time even though he is a little crazy over the situation into which his mother has thrust him and the country.
Ophelia, being trapped by her role as sister and obedient daughter, not to mention that of lesser courtier, seeks a way to free herself from the societal ties that bind. I do think that madness was her only escape, until, that is, she dies.

Major philosophical questions relating to such matters as the existence of God, the foundations of knowledge, the nature of reality, and the nature of morality. Approach may be either historical or topical. Offered: AWSpS.
Class description
This course will introduce the student to philosophical thinking by considering three of the most central and important philosophical problems: (1) Can I have knowledge of an objective world or is my knowledge confined to my own subjective experience? (2) Am I truly free? (3) Do we have good reasons for believing that God exists? We will investigate these questions by considering the views and arguments of many philosophers, both historical and contemporary, including Descartes, Berkeley, Locke, Hume, Kane, Nozick, and many others.

The Scottish Executive said the issue has prompted 20 times more responses than any other consultation exercise undertaken by the administration.
The figures were revealed as experts gather to discuss whether or not a ban should be introduced.
The public consultation is due to run until the end of September.
Health experts and representatives of the licensed trade from around the world are meeting to discuss the issue at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
They include Tom Frieden, commissioner for health in New York, one of a number cities which has introduced a ban on smoking in public places.
The executive has insisted that action must be taken to clamp down on smoking, which is killing thousands of Scots each year.
However, he stressed that the executive would not announce its strategy until the end of the consultation period.
Mr McCabe said: "We already know that smoking kills around 13,000 people each year in Scotland and is responsible for thousands of hospital admissions and that second-hand smoke is linked to a range of potentially fatal conditions.
Early findings
"Today's conference will give the executive a chance to learn from other countries how restrictions on smoking in public places have been implemented and could be enforced.
"It is important that we know what the impact has been on the health and economy of other countries and what lessons we can learn from this in Scotland."
Mr McCabe said some of the early findings from the executive's research will be made known at the conference.
The Scottish Conservatives' health spokesman, David Davidson MSP, said the consultation process had been a "complete sham" and the result would be "irrelevant".
He asked: "Does the first minister seriously expect anyone to believe that if the consultation rejects a ban, he too will shelve his proposals?"
The Republic of Ireland has introduced a ban on smoking in public places.
Speaking during a visit there last week, First Minister Jack McConnell said Scotland could learn positive lessons from the Irish experience.
