David Price retained his British and Commonwealth titles with a brutal first-round knockout of Audley Harrison that almost certainly sends the former Olympic champion into retirement.
A quiet opening unravelled rapidly for Harrison as soon as he tasted the fearsome power Price carries in his right hand and after just 82 seconds he lay prone on the canvas.
"I shocked myself again really with the power in my punches," Price said. "I didn't expect to do that to Audley Harrison so quickly. If anything I thought I'd break him down over a period of time and get to him after a good few rounds."
By his own admission, Harrison was drinking in the last chance saloon - a place he seems to have resided for quite a while - and stated a sixth professional loss would end a career of perplexing underachievement.
The last time Harrison topped the bill in a packed north west arena he was dispatched by David Haye in an embarrassingly timid display in Manchester two years ago next month. On that occasion, a countryman operating at a higher level allowed him two untroubled rounds before administering the finishing touches. Price did not give him the luxury.
A national hero when he brought gold home from Sydney 12 years ago, a stark demonstration of how far the 40-year-old has fallen in the public's affections came when he walked to the ring to a chorus of boos and chants of "Who are you?" before Liverpool's Echo Arena crowd opted for a courser version. By contrast, ardent Liverpool fan Price was afforded a spine-tingling reception to the strains of You'll Never Walk Alone.
The two giant combatants initially came cautiously to the middle of the ring, Harrison stalking behind a high guard. The veteran landed the first punch of the contest, but his left to the chest was of little consequence. When Price finally connected, it was anything but.
Finding the range with a jab more inquisitive than authoritative, Price detonated a fierce straight right that caught Harrison flush on the chin and sent him reeling towards the ropes. As when Haye had Harrison in trouble, Price scented blood and would not relent.
Harrison covered up under the inevitable barrage that followed - briefly to reasonable effect - but he had nowhere to go. A chopping Price right-hook got through forcing Harrison's head to rock sickeningly back over the ropes, prompting referee Howard Foster to step in as further punishment rained down and the defeated fighter slumped flat on the floor.
Price has now knocked out 12 of 14 opponents faced in an unblemished career to date and he looked every inch the heir to the Klitschko brothers. But it is questionable how much can be taken out of a win against a man who has squandered his talent and now serves only as a cautionary tale to 2012's golden generation.

The FDA has approved an artificial implant, called Argus 11, to restore some sight to people with retinitis pigmentosa. A special pair of glasses is outfitted with a video camera and a video processing unit that sends signals to a wireless receiver implanted in the eye. "To restore vision, signals from the camera are sent to the retina, where they travel to the optic nerve in the brain.
The Apple iPhone has an app (app = application, or a small program), LookTel Recognizer, available in the iTunes App Store, that allows visually impaired users to recognize items and surroundings. You point the iPhone camera and listen to the phone. The phone recognizes and identifies the object or location. There is no need to hold the camera still or take a photo.
Congress has appropriated $12 million in funding to support the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA). Grants were given to organizations that will offer free tax preparation services to the elderly and disabled. To qualify, your income should be below $50,000. The toll free number for locations on tax counseling and income tax assistance is 800-906-9887.
In an experimental study at Schepens Eye Research Institute, red mice were used to convert skin cells into retinal neurons and thus restore visual function. They found a significant increase in electrical activity in the newly reconstructed retinal tissue, signifying that connections were being made between the new photoreceptor cells and the rest of the retina. Michael J.
Scientists at the University of Tübingen in Germany have developed an eye implant that has had success in restoring some vision in patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease that can result in blindness and affects about 1 in 4,000 people worldwide. While the findings are the result of a small study, they are particularly important as a "proof of concept" that demonstrates that the optic nerves can be "...re-awakened for them to be able to see again", according to Robert Maclaren, professor of Ophthalmology at Britain's Oxford University.
Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts have discovered a new way to transfer DNA, thus safely protecting cells from retinal degeneration. A peptide called PEG-POD is the vehicle for therapeutic gene delivery.
Schepens Eye Institute at Harvard Medical School received an unrestricted grant to develop human retinal cell based therapies for eye diseases. Although the initial focus is on retinitis pigmentosa, the program will have applications for age-related macular degeneration as well.
The two types of light-sensitive cells of the retina are rods and cones. Named because of their cylindrical shape, rods are interspersed throughout the retina. They are highly sensitive to low light and shadow and allow for at least some degree of nighttime vision. Cones are present throughout the retina also, but are very highly concentrated in the fovea of the macula. Different cones are sensitive to different wavelengths and allow one to see vivid colors and sharp detail in conditions of bright light. There are 20 times more rods than cones.
Retinitis pigmentosa is one in a group of diseases classified as hereditary chorioretinal dystrophies. There are multiple forms of retinitis pigmentosa, each occurring as a result of a specific abnormal gene. The disease is inherited in a number of different ways. Genetic testing and counseling are very helpful in determining the form of the disease, how it has been inherited, and what treatments are available or are being researched. Retinitis pigmentosa is usually diagnosed during young adulthood and can be difficult to accept.
It is the retina that allows one to see. The retina lines the back of the eye and consists of extremely thin layers of light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors, nerve cells, and support cells responsible for nourishing the photoreceptors. Together, the cells of the retina translate light, shadow, movement, and contrast into recognizable images. The photoreceptors of the retina, known as rods and cones, capture light, which is instantly changed to electrical impulses.

Yes, starts with me being first born, Ursula. Does this means anything to my siblings? NO! Some of us has unique names, like Verda, Cindy (Cyndi, thinks she's special), Earl, Martha, Beverly and Janice. Ok, Verda and myself are unique, at least the names!
I came across some 8mm films and audio, cried through out the films and listening to myself as a child is something else, amazing once a squecky voice.

John Brown's Body & Katchafire @ the Fox
In 2006, John Brown's Body found itself at a crossroads, when the death of bassist Scott Palmer broke the band's heart. After the tragedy, several longtime members left the group. But, a strange thing happened to the band staring at its own mortality: somehow, JBB emerged transformed and inspired.
A vital, creative energy sprang from the band's new dynamic and new members. JBB found itself pushing more at the edges of reggae. New songs incorporated slinkier bass lines, denser instrumentation, less predictable rhythms. Beats became funkier, more drum-and-bass inflected.
JBB realized it was at a turning point: keep playing the same style of music, or follow the new sound and see where it leads. It was the same way the band members felt about reggae: how do you break rules and create something unique while still honoring the music that came before?
The answer is that it's possible (and ultimately necessary) to push forward. "Future Roots," which the band began using to describe its sound as far back as its 2005 Pressure Points release, took another step forward. The current evolution builds on a reggae foundation, incorporating elements from different genres. The new songs are timeless and futuristic all at once, anchored and exploring simultaneously.
These explorations are instantly evident on Amplify, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Reggae Chart in October 2008, and its remix follow-up EP, Re-Amplify, released in March 2009 also debuting on the Billboard's Reggae Top 10 Chart.
"Amplify is the sound of a band recreated, retooled and refreshed," writes Canada's Exclaim Magazine, and other reviewers agree: "Amplify has a forward thinking, fearless approach to tempos, beats and feel that expands the genre of reggae as a whole." [Amazon].
While Amplify showed the world the fearless new directions JBB's music is headed in, Re-Amplify took it even further by putting the band's songs into the hands of outside remixers for the first time. Working with Gym Class Heroes' Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo, Juno-Award-nominated producer Dubmatix, dance floor pioneer Tommie Sunshine, Australia's urban roots powerhouse Blue King Brown and others, the band's songs were stretched every which way, resulting in an EP that pleased fans and opened the band up to even further possibilities in their musical approach. How open? The band liked Dubmatix's remix of "The Gold" so much, they switched to playing that version in their live sets.
JBB's live show has the kind of organic, body-rocking sound that's only possible with an 8-piece band where air tight drum and bass, a three piece horn section, and "the most gorgeous melodies in all of modern reggae music" [All Music Guide] meet a dubbed-out sound engineer. Where will JBB head next? The near future includes first ever tours of the UK and New Zealand, as well as initial work on the follow up to Amplify. What direction will the music take? Who knows, but whatever it is, it is sure to push boundaries.

Did you know?
The Nelson Mandela Bridge was recognised as being "an outstanding civil engineering achievement" by the South African Institute of Civil Engineers.
Of the many buildings, roads, squares and bays named after the first democratically elected president of South Africa, the Nelson Mandela Bridge is the most fitting tribute to this great man.
This Johannesburg landmark symbolically links the old and new as it ushers traffic into the heart of rejuvenated downtown Johannesburg.
The Nelson Mandela Bridge, which cost R38 million, is the largest cable-stayed bridge in southern Africa.
The vast quantities of construction materials that went into its creation underpin what a feat of engineering it is. It took 4 000 cubic meters of concrete, 1 000 tons of structural steel and 500 tons of construction steel to realise the seemingly weightless pinnacle that gleams with the promise of the new.
The bridge is 284 meters long, 42 meters high at the north pylon and 27 meters high at the south pylon.
It accommodates two lanes of traffic in either direction, as well as reserved lanes for pedestrians and cyclists. Rumbling beneath are over 40 train tracks as the bridge is located in the commuter hub of Johannesburg.
The bridge links the Newtown Cultural Precinct – home to Mary Fitzgerald Square, the historic Market Theatre, Museum Africa and Gramadoelas Restaurant – with lower Braamfontein, another site of renewal encompassing the Constitutional Court, The University of the Witwatersrand and The Civic Theatre.
This landmark in Johannesburg was constructed as part of the ongoing BlueIQ initiative, which has poured over R500 million into the rejuvenation of the downtown area. Nelson Mandela himself officially opened the bridge on 20 July 2003.
Travel tips & Planning info
How to get here
Drive a car or catch a taxi to Braamfontein. The Nelson Mandela Bridge is at the end of Bertha Street. You'll also go over the bridge as a part of many Johannesburg tours.
Best time to visit
By day to absorb the hustle and bustle of downtown Johannesburg, or by night to see the bridge gloriously illuminated against the dark sky.
Around the area
Braamfontein and Newtown are filled with sites of historic and cultural interest including The Market Theatre, Mary Fitzgerald Square, Museum Africa, Constitutional Hill and the Civic Theatre.
Tours to do
The Nelson Mandela Bridge is part of many tours of Johannesburg and Soweto, so ask your tour operator for a route that passes this landmark.
Get around
It's worth taking a look at the bridge on foot, but finding parking in downtown Johannesburg can be tricky. Your best bet is to park at the nearby Market Theatre and walk the half kilometre to the bridge.
What to eat
The famous Gramadoelas Restaurant is nearby (next door to the Market Theatre) and serves up delicious foods from across Africa. There are also plenty of coffee shops and fast food outlets in the area.

Cholesterol is
a type of fat (lipid) in your blood. Your cells need
cholesterol, and your body makes all it
needs. But you also get cholesterol from the food you eat.
If you have too much cholesterol, it starts to build up in your arteries.
(Arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.) This is
called hardening of the arteries, or
atherosclerosis. It is usually a slow process that
gets worse as you get older.
To understand what happens, think
about how a clog forms in the pipe under a kitchen sink. Like the buildup of
grease in the pipe, the buildup of cholesterol narrows your arteries and makes
it harder for blood to flow through them. It reduces the amount of blood that
gets to your body tissues, including your heart. This can lead to serious
problems, including
heart attack and
Your cholesterol is measured by a blood test:
High cholesterol doesn't
make you feel sick. By the time you find out you have it, it may already be
narrowing your arteries. So it is very important to start treatment even though
you may feel fine.
Many things can
cause high cholesterol, including:
need a blood test to check your cholesterol. There are
several kinds of tests:
If you have high cholesterol, you need treatment to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. The two main treatments are
lifestyle changes and medicine.
Some lifestyle changes are important for
everyone with high cholesterol. Your doctor will probably want you to:
Changing old habits may not be easy, but it is very
important to help you live a healthier and longer life. Having a plan can help.
Start with small steps. For example, commit to adding one fruit or one vegetable a day for a week. Instead of having dessert, take a short walk.
If these lifestyle changes don't lower your
cholesterol enough, or if your risk of heart attack is
high, you may also need to take a cholesterol-lowering medicine, such as a statin. Knowing your heart attack risk is
important, because it helps you and your doctor decide how to treat your

Living with high cholesterol:
High cholesterol can be caused by:
High cholesterol does not cause symptoms. It is usually found during a
blood test that measures cholesterol levels.
Some people with rare lipid disorders may have symptoms such as bumps in the skin, hands, or feet, which are caused by deposits of extra cholesterol and other types of fat.
Having high
cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaque in artery walls. This buildup is called
atherosclerosis. It can lead to coronary artery disease
(CAD), heart attack, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), and peripheral arterial disease.
Atherosclerosis can cause these problems because it:

Some things that increase
your risk for
high cholesterol are things you can change, but some are
not. It's important to lower your risk as much as possible.
Things you can change include:
Each of these things can raise your LDL, lower your HDL, or both.
Things you cannot change include:
For more information, see Cause.
High cholesterol usually has no symptoms. Sometimes the first sign that you
have high cholesterol or other risk factors for heart disease is a
heart attack, a
stroke, or a
transient ischemic attack (TIA). If you have any
symptoms of these, call 911 or other emergency services.
Heart attack symptoms include:
After you call 911, the operator may tell you to chew 1 adult-strength or 2 to 4 low-dose aspirin. Wait for an ambulance. Do not try to drive yourself.
Nitroglycerin. If you typically use nitroglycerin to relieve angina and if one dose of nitroglycerin has not relieved your symptoms
within 5 minutes, call 911. Do not wait to call for help.
Women's symptoms. For men and women, the most common symptom is chest pain or pressure. But women are somewhat more likely than men to have other symptoms like shortness of breath, nausea, and back or jaw pain.
Stroke and TIA symptoms include:
Any of the following doctors,
nurses, or specialists can order a cholesterol test and treat high
registered dietitian can help you with a diet to lower
your cholesterol.
People who have rare
lipid disorders, which can be hard to treat,
may need to see a specialist, such as a lipidologist or an endocrinologist.
A blood test tells you if you have
high cholesterol.
Your numbers help your doctor know your risk of getting heart disease or having a heart attack or stroke.
Your total cholesterol level is important. But your levels of
LDL, HDL, and triglycerides help your doctor decide if you need treatment for high cholesterol. Your doctor
will also consider your overall health and your risk of heart
attack. For more information, see the topic High Cholesterol Treatment Guidelines Based on Heart Attack Risk.
To learn about the results and numbers for cholesterol tests, see the topic Cholesterol and Triglyceride Tests.
Your total cholesterol number shows if your
cholesterol is too high.
If you have high cholesterol, your doctor will want
to know your LDL and HDL levels before deciding whether you need treatment and
what sort of treatment you need.
You want your LDL level to be low. But how low your LDL should be depends
on your risk of heart attack.
Your doctor will help decide what your LDL goal is. The higher your risk of heart attack,
the lower your LDL goal.
You want your HDL level to be high. An HDL level of 60 or higher is linked to a lower risk of heart disease. A high HDL number also can help
offset a high LDL number.
When you visit your doctor to talk about your cholesterol
test, you will talk about other things that increase your risk for heart
problems. These include:
If your risk is high, or if you
already have heart problems, your doctor will be more likely to prescribe
medicine along with lifestyle changes.
To find out your risk for a heart attack, see the Interactive Tool: Are You at Risk for a Heart Attack?
Most doctors recommend that everyone older than 20 be checked for high
cholesterol. How often you need to be checked depends on whether you have other
health problems and your overall chance of heart disease.
Your child's doctor may suggest a cholesterol test based on your child's age, family history, or a physical exam. A cholesterol test can help a doctor find out early if your child has a cholesterol level that could affect his or her health.
The goal in treating
high cholesterol is to reduce your chances of having a
heart attack or
The two types of treatment for high cholesterol are:
Your doctor may suggest that you make
one or more of the following changes:
For more information, see Making Lifestyle Changes.
Many people try lifestyle changes first. But if lifestyle changes aren't enough to reach your cholesterol goal, you will need to take medicine too. Even if you take medicine for high cholesterol, keeping healthy lifestyle habits is still important.
Some people need to start taking medicine right away because their risk of heart attack is higher than average. Your doctor will base your need for medicine on your risk level.
Once you know your risk for heart attack, you can learn more about treatment for your risk level.
You may also need treatment for other health problems, such as high blood pressure.
A heart-healthy lifestyle can help you prevent high cholesterol. This includes:
Heart-healthy diets include the Mediterranean diet and the American Heart Association diet recommendations. This chart compares several heart-healthy diets(What is a PDF document?).
Some people may not be able to prevent high cholesterol with lifestyle changes. Family history or certain conditions that cause the body to make too much cholesterol can raise levels even with lifestyle changes. In these cases, medicine can help.
Remember that high cholesterol is just
one of the things that increase your risk for
heart attack and stroke.

high blood pressure and
diabetes, can also help reduce your overall

Statins are the
medicines used the most often to treat
high cholesterol, and they often work the best. They can
reduce the risk for
heart attack,
stroke, and early death in people who are at high risk for a
heart attack or stroke. Other medicines also lower
cholesterol, and some may be used to lower
triglycerides or raise
Doctors may also prescribe
aspirin therapy if you have had a heart attack or
a stroke, or you have a high risk for heart attack or stroke.
Do you need to take medicine? That depends. The decision to use medicine to treat high cholesterol is usually based on your cholesterol goal, LDL level, and your risk for heart attack and stroke.
Medicine is
always used along with a diet and exercise plan, not instead of it.
You and your doctor will decide if you will take medicine for high cholesterol.

The following medicines can be
used to lower LDL and triglyceride levels in the blood and to raise HDL.
Some people find it hard to take their
medicines properly. If you do take medicine, it is important to use it the right way.
Some people don't see why they should take medicines every day
when they don't feel sick. High cholesterol doesn't make you feel sick. But it's important to treat
it, because it damages your blood vessels and eventually your heart, even though you don't have symptoms.
Some side effects are more likely and may be worse when you use higher
doses of statins. If you're having side effects, tell your doctor. You may be able to take a different medicine or a different dose.
Be sure to tell your doctor everything you take for high cholesterol, even herbs or other supplements or treatments. Sometimes they can interact with other medicines and cause problems.
If you have trouble taking your medicine for any reason, talk to your doctor.
Some plant products can help lower high cholesterol. But don't use them to replace your doctor's treatment. Whether
or not you use such products, be sure to continue your diet, exercise,
and prescription medicines.
As with any new form of treatment, make sure to talk with your doctor first. This is especially important if you take statins. Combining statins and some supplements can cause dangerous side effects.
Psyllium is an ingredient in some dietary supplements—Metamucil, for example. It's a fiber from fleawort and plantago seeds.
Doctors aren't sure how it helps cholesterol levels. It may make the small intestine absorb less cholesterol, so less of it enters your blood.
Psyllium is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The main side effect is increased bowel movements. Products
containing psyllium aren't recommended to replace foods as a source of
Sterol and stanol esters are used in cholesterol-lowering margarine spreads.
Sterol esters might limit how much cholesterol the small intestine can absorb. Cholesterol-lowering margarines can help lower cholesterol levels, particularly in people who have high cholesterol levels or who consume too much fat in their diets. These margarines are used along with a healthy diet to lower cholesterol.
Red yeast rice contains a natural form of lovastatin, a statin medicine. This supplement may keep your body from producing too much cholesterol. But this supplement can cause dangerous side effects.
Talk to your doctor before you try red yeast rice. Serious side effects include rhabdomyolysis and hepatitis. Red yeast rice is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so you cannot be sure of the amount of red yeast in a supplement. This means you cannot be sure of its dose and safety.
If you take red yeast rice, call your doctor right away if you have a bad reaction to it such as severe muscle pain or symptoms of hepatitis.
Do not take red yeast supplements if you are taking statins. Combining them can cause dangerous side effects.

Canine companions changed couple's lives
Updated 12:09 am, Monday, August 20, 2012
Among calls from baristas for customers to pick up Frappuccinos and lattes, a couple told a tale of how guide dogs changed their lives.
At the Starbucks at Interstate 10 and DeZavala Road, "Will you still love me tomorrow?" played as Egypt, a yellow Labrador, lay beside Natalie and Darrell Garza as they talked about meeting four years ago in Alice.
She thought he was odd. He was wearing sunglasses at her roommate's birthday party, and his hand was draped over a woman's shoulder. She learned he was blind and the woman was his sister. He had lost his sight because of a degenerative condition that began in childhood.
Intrigued, she dropped hints that she liked him, but he didn't pick up the clues. She gave him her cell number. A month later, they were dating.
During their courtship, they started reviewing service animal organizations for Darrell Garza as he prepared to transfer from a community college in Alice to the University of Texas at San Antonio. When she read about San Antonio-based Guide Dogs of Texas, she felt compelled to volunteer with the nonprofit as a puppy raiser.
Now Natalie Garza, 24, is in a four-year apprenticeship as a mobility instructor with the nonprofit organization, which offers trained guide dogs to visually impaired Texans.
News Channel
It's the only guide dog school in Texas and one of nine accredited schools in the nation. It trains and matches dogs with clients ages 17 and older during a three- to four-week period.
She's training her first team of dogs, Alice, Mitch and Molly, to work with clients in the fall.
"There's a lot of problem solving," she said. "They're all different, trying to figure out what works with one that doesn't work with another."
She worked her way up to a position as a kennel manager in 2011 after graduating from the UTSA with a major in kinesiology.
Organization president Larry Tuttle said instructors need a deep commitment to work with dogs and adults with a visual impairment.
"When people go through the training, they need to have that internal drive of having passion to change people's lives," Tuttle said. "Natalie is a great person who will make a wonderful guide dog mobility instructor."
Three years ago, her focus was on helping Darrell Garza, 23, then her fiancée, become more independent. At the time, he wasn't thrilled about the idea of a guide dog and reluctantly used a white cane. "She helped me grow a lot," he said. "When I went blind, I didn't want the label of being blind, like using my cane."
He was accepted by Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael, Calif. In May 2009, he traveled with his mother to the school for a 28-day training period. He was skeptical until Egypt licked his hand and sat between his legs.
"She's like my child," Darrell Garza said. "When she's sick, I'm sick. It's a partnership of give and take, a really unique bond."
When they arrived in San Antonio, Egypt took to guiding him at UTSA, where he is a business major, and everything fell into place.
Natalie and Darrell were married in Montego Bay, Jamaica, during a seven-day cruise. Egypt was at their side.
Before they left the coffee shop, a woman asked if they would permit her to pet Egypt while she was on duty.
"It should be fine, if you don't mind not letting her lick you — she has a sensitive stomach," Darrell Garza said. "Thank you for asking."

Kirin Ichiban is brewed from only malt, hops and water.
Unlike other beers, only the first press of the wort is used.
That's why it's called Ichiban – meaning "first" and "best" in Japanese.
"Ichiban Shibori" is a unique method of brewing beer at its purest from a single pure ingredient: 100% malt.
This one-and-only technique gives Kirin Ichiban a unique taste and flavor found nowhere else in the world.
The liquid that flows naturally from the mash is the first press of the wort.
Only this first press of the wort is used to brew Kirin Ichiban.
It's the secret behind Kirin Ichiban's elegant and refreshing flavor.
The flavor of beer brewed from 100% malt is usually described as strong and heavy.
But Kirin Ichiban, brewed only from the first press of the wort, is crisp yet maintains all the rich flavor of the malt.
And this makes Kirin Ichiban the perfect accompaniment to Japanese food – known for its subtle and delicate flavors – or any of the world's other cuisines.
Enjoy a premium beer experience with Kirin Ichiban, made only from the purest of pure malt.
"Savoring only the best of the ingredients."
"Enjoying the freshness of the ingredients."
Kirin Ichiban symbolizes the philosophy and techniques of Japanese cuisine.
For example, "Ichiban Dashi" is a basic stock widely used in Japanese cooking. This is an extract of the most flavorsome elements of ingredients such as kelp and katsuobushi (dried and fermented bonito flakes), and it typifies the basic Japanese cooking technique of bringing out the pure taste of the ingredients. It also reflects one of the foundations of Japanese hospitality – offering guests the finest flavors of the freshest ingredients.
This same philosophy lies at the heart of Kirin Ichiban, the premium beer we proudly offer from Japan to the world.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's lacrosse team got back to their winning ways on Friday morning, making easy work of Chowan University en route to a 16-3 victory over the Hawks at University Turf Stadium. The win advances the Lions to a record of 4-5, while the first-year Hawks drop to a mark of 1-8 on the season.
A total of 12 Lions contributed to the team's scoring efforts on the day. Stephanie Marran dished out five assists to lead the team in overall points. Freshman Cassie Miller was one point behind, tallying a hat trick and an assist for four points. Joanna Chadwick notched a hat trick of her own, while Paige Leggio and Alix Murray scored two goals apiece. Christian Minneci and Allie Sheftall matched the duo in points with a goal and an assist each, while Alyssa Viscomi, Kelly Smigiera, Jennifer Doyle, and Brynn Laverdure each found the back of the net once. Lauren Irish completed the scoring for the day, earning the first assist of her collegiate career.
Sheftall had a solid game in all areas of the field, adding three ground balls, a draw control, and three caused turnovers to her two points. Marran led the game off the draw, pulling in seven for the Lions.
The Hawks were led by Mackenzie Reid with two goals, while Erica Jefferson placed one shot between the pipes.
The Lions got off to a slow start, and Chowan found themselves on the scoreboard first with an unassisted goal from Reid just 27 seconds into the contest. Despite the early goal from the Hawks, Saint Leo went on to score nine unanswered goals throughout the remainder of the first half.
The Green and Gold opened the second half by piling on four more goals to pull ahead to a score of 13-1 with 24:04 left in the game. Chowan broke the scoring streak with Jefferson converting a free-position shot at the 19:30 mark, but Saint Leo answered back with three more goals for a score of 16-2. The Hawks notched one final goal on a free-position shot from Reid at the 3:16 mark for a final score of 16-3.
Saint Leo dominated the stat sheet, leading the game in shots 38-5, shots on goal 29-4, ground balls 22-8, and caused turnovers 10-1. The Lions were successful on 9-of-10 clear attempts, and put pressure on the Hawks to hold them to just seven good clears on 17 attempts.
The Saint Leo women's lacrosse team returns to action on Sunday, March 17, when they take on Colorado Mesa at University Turf Stadium. Game time against the Mavericks is set for 2 p.m. Fans who cannot make it to the game will be able to catch all of the action live on the Saint Leo Sports Network at saintleolions.com.

If you have children, you are no stranger to life's little calamities. They come in the form of skinned knees, scraped elbows, and stubbed toes. Here are some guidelines to help you treat those little accidents and know when it is time to seek help.
If these injuries happen, get medical care right away:
Do not remove larger embedded objects, such as a knife or stick from a puncture wound. If you have any doubt, leave the object alone. They can be safely removed by a doctor.
Note: A child with a chronic condition, such as diabetes, should see a doctor right away if a wound is not healing well.
If you do not have a first aid kit in your home, you can put one together, or purchase from your local American Red Cross or drug store. It may be a good idea to have a first aid kit in your car as well.
Here is what the American Red Cross recommends having in your home's first-aid kit.
Here is what the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends having in your car's first-aid kit:
First aid classes are a good starting point for parents, teacher, or even babysitters. Class information is located on the American Red Cross and American Heart Association websites.
If you have a smartphone, consider downloading a first aid app from the American Red Cross. Features of the app include first aid instructions, ability to call for emergency medical help, and safety tips. You can even take quizzes and earn badges to increase your first aid knowledge.

Indiana Supreme Court
Office of Judicial Administration
State House, Room 314
200 W. Washington Street
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Mary Willis
Chief Administrative Officer
The Public Health Law Bench Book for Indiana Courts is a publication from the Center for Public Health Law Partnerships at the University of Louisville.
In 1905, the United States Supreme Court's landmark Jacobson v. Massachusetts ruling recognized the judiciary as both an enforcer of governmental public health policies and an arbiter of the conflicts between individual liberties and public interests that arise from governmental public health action. See generally Wendy E. Parmet et al. "Individual Rights versus the Public's Health – 100 Years after Jacobson v. Massachusetts." 352 NEW ENG. J. MED. 652 (2005). Despite this central role, most members of the judiciary have received little, if any, formal public health law training.
The Bench Book is intended to protect the health and safety of communities by improving legal preparedness for both public health emergencies and more routine public health cases. In addition, it is our hope that this Bench Book will increase communication between the judiciary and public health agencies at the community, state, and national levels and across a broad spectrum of public health issues. Although courts have historically been vital protectors of the public's health (e.g., authorizing sanitary inspections, enjoining nuisances, enforcing vaccination requirements), relationships between public health agencies and the judiciary remain rare. In this new era of bioterrorism, emerging infectious diseases, and potential pandemics, courts play an even more critical role in protecting the public's health. This Bench Book is a reference tool that judges may use as they confront the range of public health issues that come to their courtrooms.

It is not so much phoenix from the flames as moles emerging from the darkness, but Molesey are on their way back.
The Combined Counties League Premier Division club were on the brink of extinction at the start of 2012 under the weight of spiralling historic debts.
But proposals for a 20-home housing devlopment – in association with Rushmon Homes – at their Walton Road home were rubberstamped by Elmbridge Council's planning department in March, seemingly preserving the 59-year-old club's future.
Boss Steve Webb, one of Molesey's longest serving managers since taking over from Steve Beeks in 2007, had to play the club's opening competitive fixtures away from home as the club prepared to move its first team pitch prior to the sale of land to Rushmon.
But legal issues have meant the deal has taken longer to go through than anticipated, and the Moles are back at home giving the club's prospects of on-field success a shot in the arm.
Despite losing their first game back on familiar territory 2-1 to Hanworth Villa last Tuesday, goals from Tom Windsor, Joe Grant, Lewis Ackerman (2) and captain Luke Elliott secured a 5-1 win over Croydon on Saturday.
Injuries cost Molesey, who have hardly set their league alight since relegation in 2007, a title shot when they finished third in 2011.
But Webb, whose team are sixth in table, was confident that would not happen this time now he has assembled what has been described as his strongest ever squad.
"Losing two important players to injury in the past two months, two seasons ago cost us," he said ahead of this week's visit of Cove.
"People are saying it is the strongest squad I've ever had. We could lose two players and the replacements would be as good. The problem will be keeping hold of them if they are not playing.
"Playing away from home all the time was difficult with all the logistics of getting to games. It could not continue.
"The pitch had been due to be moved, but that has not happened and we had no option but to get the old pitch prepared again. Being back at home should make a big difference."
Chairman Tracy Teague added: "The deal will go through and building work should start at the end of October, but we won't be moving the pitch until the end of the season now because we do not want to rush things."

HOUSTON - The Harris County District Attorney's Office is investigating an alleged death threat against a Houston City Council member.
Al Hoang, who represents District F, called police Saturday and said that Etienne Nguyen, his former political opponent, and other protesters were blocking the street in front of his house.
The officers dispersed the protesters, but they were called back to the home about 30 minutes later.
Hoang told officers that Nguyen returned to his home with a pistol and threatened, in Vietnamese, to kill Hoang and his family, police said.
The case was referred to the district attorney's office.

Star Cooking: A Winning Recipe, at Homeby in Food Network Star, Recipes, June 8, 2010
As I watch The Next Food Network Star from my couch at home, I'm pretty jealous of Bob, Bobby and Susie—the lucky ones who actually get to taste the food. Well, maybe not so lucky during the very first challenge when, despite the high caliber of talent this season, several of the chicken-and-potato dishes were undercooked. I certainly wasn't envious of all that raw chicken.
But let's focus on the good stuff—every week, we're cooking and blogging the winning Star recipes. Aria's chicken breast stuffed with a date-walnut-grape mixture wasn't raw at all—in fact, Bobby pronounced it moist and well-seasoned, and all of the judges seemed to enjoy digging in.
The premiere had not one but three winning dishes, and two of them belonged to Aria. I decided to try out her chicken—I'm always looking for new ways to jazz up a chicken breast. Hers sounded interesting and not super-complicated, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
First step was the side dish of roasted potatoes and cauliflower. I did some quick chopping and tossed the veggies on a sheet pan with a big handful of raisins, olive oil, salt and pepper. My grocery store didn't have any chervil, but I wanted a little green mixed in, so I sliced some scallions and added those.
That went into the oven for 25 minutes, per Aria's instructions. Meanwhile...
... I blitzed the walnuts, dates and grapes in my mini (apartment-size) food processor. Then I pounded the chicken breasts with a meat mallet and rolled them up around two tablespoons of the filling.
Sidenote: This filling was pretty delicious on its own—I spooned a taste out of the food processor before stuffing the chicken breasts. It would be a tasty little spread to serve with cheese and crackers. So don't throw away what's leftover.
I worried that my beautiful chicken rolls might fall apart as I dipped them in flour, egg wash and then bread crumbs. The recipe doesn't call for any use of string to tie them, as in a traditional roulade. But mine stayed perfectly intact without it, so I guess Aria knew what she was doing. I breaded the rolls in panko—I had it in the pantry and love the extra-crispiness it gives just about anything—and pan-fried them in a little oil before popping them in the oven for the prescribed 15 minutes.
Aria's cook time was right on the money – after letting the chicken rest a few minutes, I sliced into a perfectly cooked dinner.
The curry sauce was a snap, and even my curry-averse dining companion kept dipping in for more. It balanced nicely with the chicken's sweet filling and added some oomph to the plate.
Keep up the good stuff, Aria – I'd try another of your recipes any day.
Which Star dish were you inspired to make this week?

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), a national organization that advocates for 21st century readiness for every student, has announced the election of Frank Gallagher, executive director of Cable in the Classroom, as the new strategic council and executive board chair for the 2012-2013 academic year. Gallagher follows Lillian Kellogg, vice president of Education Networks of America.
Stephan Turnipseed, president of LEGO® Education, North America, was elected to serve as vice chair. Dzana Homan, chief operating officer of Goddard Systems, Inc. was elected as treasurer, and Susan Adelmann of Follett Software, P21's newest member, will be the new secretary.
"I look forward to leading P21's efforts to ensure 21st century readiness remains a priority within the education reform movement. The role of 21st Century Skills in preparing students to lead in college, career, and citizenship has never been more important," said Frank Gallagher upon accepting the Chairmanship. "I am also excited about P21's newest initiatives in 21st Century Learning Exemplars, and 21st Century Citizenship."
The 21st Century Citizenship initiative will engage multiple stakeholders, raise public awareness, and develop a research agenda identifying connections between 21st Century Skills and the 4C's of Critical thinking and problem solving, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity and innovation as they relate to improved civic outcomes.
The Exemplar Program will highlight and showcase exemplary 21st century learning across P21's leadership states.
"P21 has done a remarkable job of laying the framework to drive a common understanding of 21st century skills with examples that are actionable for a wide variety of education stakeholders," said Adelmann on joining the P21 Executive Board. "At Follett, we see the fingerprints of P21 every day in the information literacy and critical thinking that are the hallmarks of our customers' libraries, learning centers, and innovative classrooms, as students become digital learners prepared for success in an increasingly complex and competitive world. We are honored to support this important work."
Follett Software joined P21 in 2012, and is the largest provider of educational materials and technology solutions to PreK-12 libraries, classrooms, learning centers and school districts in the United States, and a major supplier to educational institutions worldwide.
P21 is proud to continue its collaborative work to engage leaders in education, business and policy, as well as the 17 partnership states to help prepare students to lead and succeed in 21st century work, life, and citizenship.

What is Magnetic Sponsoring? Who Needs This?
Recently I received 7 free videos promising me help in effortless recruiting. I watched those 7 videos and then I bought the course!
So first let me tell you what Magnetic Sponsoring is… it is a great book that offers invaluable information from Mike Dillard, a guy that is ordinary, just like you and me, but he has found a way to explain in simple terms to a mom like me, how to market!
You see marketing online, or offline, is not about chasing family, friends, Facebook friends, etc. I was so tired of posting my products, and chasing family and friends that I nearly gave up my home business! This was not because I had lost hope, or because I felt that the company was not good, but I felt that maybe I was just not cut out for this business! Maybe you have felt like that too? If you have found yourself in that boat my first advice is understand that it is not your fault and it is also not necessarily your uplines fault, you see most people are not aware of the way to "attract" people to them, rather than "find" people to talk to!
How many times have you watched a leader in your company go on stage, or a webinar, or training call and tell you about their success and how they just talked to a few people and Boom they found success, and built a big team! Well I promise that person had one of three things: 1: A Big List, 2: A Big List, or 3: A Big List! You see people don't just become overnight success sensations at anything without first having a Big List!
So you may be thinking like I did, I know how to get a big list, I will buy it! In the industry we call this buying leads. I am here to tell you that no matter how good you think your leads are, leads is a hard way to build a business. Why? Well those people may absolutely be interested in making money, but few want to do it with network marketing, most are pie in the sky dreamers who think working from home is typing, or stuffing envelopes. They are not entrepreneurial, and most have no desire to invest in anything!
So back to Magnetic Sponsoring, this is a simple, duplicatable system that you can implement today, and start attracting people to you, rather than chasing them. Imagine the power when you become the hunted instead of the hunter! Wouldn't your business be a lot more fun? Afterall you started this business to have fun, and make some money right?
Here is a snipit of the things you will learn in Magnetic Sponsoring.
This book is so full of information, but here is just a few of the strategies you will learn about.
You will Learn:
- The Secret to Becoming a Professional
- How to Find Your Best Prospects
- How to Get Paid to Prospect, Even When People Don't Join Your Team (this one is one of my favorite strategies)
I highly recommend you get the FREE 7 Video Series Here, and then if you found value in those videos consider purchasing Magnetic Sponsoring, I know I have found it an invaluable resource for me, and I know you will too.
Yours in Success,
Amanda Evans

Parties Race To Use Shutdown For 2014 Leverage
Republicans and Democrats are wasting little time trying to use the federal government shutdown for political advantage ahead of next year's midterm elections. They're seizing on the plight of furloughed workers and shuttered government services to cast blame on each other.
The debate is playing out in TV and radio ads in key congressional districts, newspaper editorials and fundraising pitches. Both sides are aggressively testing the political arguments they may use over the next year.
For Republicans, it's a chance to focus the nation's attention on President Barack Obama's health care law, which even Obama acknowledges is unpopular.
Democrats are telling voters that the GOP has been hijacked by the tea party. They say Republicans are jeopardizing the economy by trying to extract unprecedented demands before re-opening the government.

There is an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment when you can cross something off your bucket list. This happened to me at the Iceberg Festival in St. Anthony, Newfoundland where I came within six feet of an iceberg. As someone who has been born and raised in Toronto, icebergs were something that I only saw in commercials for Alaskan boat cruises.

We recently took my brother and his wife on a tour of the Northern Peninsula and their goals were seeing moose, whales and icebergs and we scored 100% on all counts. Bruce and Mary Ellen had been here over 20 years ago and at that time they had their 3 young children in tow which meant that most of our activities were close to our home in Corner Brook. We headed north on highway 430 (the Viking Trail) on Saturday, July 13 and made a stop at the scenic Arches before having a picnic lunch at Flowers Cove.

Even though I knew that Happy Valley Goose Bay was the hub of Labrador, I was surprised to find a town of 7,500+ people with stores, restaurants, pubs, fast food outlets, churches, recreational facilities, building supply outlets, hotels—ad infinitum. Bit of a shock after driving long stretches without seeing neither man nor beast. (Remember those long, long, very long and straight dirt roads I was talking about?)

Fall in the Humber Valley means brilliant autumn colours and where better to enjoy these than on Newfoundland's top rated golf course. The golf course at Humber Valley Resort is ranked as the second best course in Atlantic Canada and one of Canada's top 20 courses according to manager Gary Oke. We recently got a chance to play the course and it was in very good shape, despite from recent heavy rains. This course will test all of your golfing skills from tee to green.

Theatre Newfoundland Labrador (TNL) is back in Cow Head and they are performing several new plays for the summer 2012 season. We recently saw "The Fly Fisher's Companion" and would recommend this play to anyone since although it deals with salmon fishing, its main theme is the changing face of friendship. The play follows Wes (played by Michael Chaisson) and Don (performed by John Dartt) as they gear up to go salmon fishing from a cabin they built together many years ago.

In Beulah Oake you'll see the spirit of real Newfoundland…strong, fun-loving and determined. There has never been a loaf of 'store-bought' bread on her table. She bakes it all — no mean feat for a woman who is managing an inn on her own in her mid-70′s...

The Corner Brook-Humber Valley area of Western Newfoundland has some of the best autumn foliage in the province due the extensive stands of birch as well as colourful maples in many places. One of our favourite trails to hike is on the International Appalachian Trail from Humber Village to Barry's Lookout.

At 7:30 am on Sunday August 13, 2011, I peered out the window at the Hotel North in St. Anthony and the fog was so thick I couldn't see across the parking lot. "I guess our 9:00 am boat trip is going to be scrubbed," I told my wife Heather. But a few minutes later she pulled back the curtains and said she could see across the harbour.

Who would have guessed that an event in Greenland a little over a year ago would bring tourists flooding to the St. Anthony area this summer? On August 5, 2010, a large piece of the Petermann Glacier broke off and became an "ice island" measuring 280 square km in size. A year later it has worked its way south and is now off of St. Anthony at the tip of the Northern Peninsula.

This week, the hikers from TrailPeak.com saw 10,000-year-old icebergs, and visited historic Battle Harbour, a restored fishing village that thrived over the last three centuries.

A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a grandmother was stabbed to death at her home in Radcliffe.
The 62-year-old, named locally as Carol Bland, was found dead at her home in Bury Road.
Police were called to the address at about 9.30am today after a someone reported concern for the residents.
They found Mrs Bland dead at the scene with stab wounds.
A man, also 62, was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary with neck injuries. He was later arrested on suspicion of murder.
Police have moved to reassure residents adding that this was an "isolated incident" and that there is "no wider threat to the local community".
Neighbours have spoken of their disbelief at the incident.
A friend of Mrs Bland, who asked not to be named, said: "I'm really shocked. Carol always liked things just right and kept the home nice. She also loved fitness and had recently started going dancing.
"The last time I saw her was out shopping early last week, although we didn't speak because I was in a rush.
"Everything seemed fine to me. It's really sad."
One resident, who asked not to be named, said she heard shouting shortly after 9am this morning.
She said: "I saw someone shouting across the road. I don't know what was said and then all of a sudden there were sirens everywhere. I can't believe this has happened."
Neighbour Alan Fletcher, aged 77, said: "I dropped my wife off at Bury Market this morning and came back to sirens everywhere. I walked round and the police tape was already up. Her little dog was also running loose."
It is believed Mrs Bland had three children and two grandchildren.
A post mortem examination will take place today and enquiries to establish the cause of death and circumstances leading to it are ongoing.
Chief Supt Mary Doyle said: "I want to reassure those that live nearby that this is an isolated incident and there is no wider threat to the local community.
"If you saw or heard anything or have any information about this incident please call us."
