KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. - Coast Guard crews are searching for a missing 39-year-old diver three miles off of Key Biscayne, officials say.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Miami said they received a call at 12:18 p.m. Sunday reporting that Jeffrey Vincent, reservist from the 9th Space Operations Squadron at Vandenberg Air Force Base, had jumped into the water without his flippers and began drifting away from the dive boat.
Authorities said Vincent was on a 27-foot boat to dive with friends. They had planned a 90-foot dive at the Princess Britney dive site about 3.5 miles off Key Biscayne.
Vincent got into the water as planned, but when he tried to grab the life line, he missed. The current pushed him away, investigators said.
One of the Vincent's friends jumped in to help but the seas were too rough. The boat's occupants kept an eye on him and circled around, eventually losing sight of the diver in high waves.
"When his buddies lost sight of him, it was only within minutes," said Alvaro Zabaleta with Miami-Dade police. "At this point, preliminarily, it looked like they did everything by the book."
About 12:15 p.m., the boat's captain hit a distress signal. The call went out over marine radio before multiple agencies responded.
Crews in a Coast Guard 33-foot rescue boat and a rescue helicopter were immediately launched to search for the missing diver, officials said.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Miami-Dade Marine Patrol, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Miami-Dade Air Rescue also assisted in the search Sunday.
Vincent was reported to be wearing a full wet suit, which includes a buoyancy control device and air tank that could help his survival chances. He was not wearing fins.
"Part of the whole training to become a diver is survival and if you encounter a problem, how to deal with that, so we are holding on to that," said Zabaleta. "The waters were pretty warm last night so there are a lot of factors that are in his favor."
Anyone with further information on Vincent is asked to contact Coast Guard watchstanders at 305-415-6800.

Staying physically active is important for everyone, especially for people with diabetes. Many studies have shown beneficial effects of exercise on blood sugar control, heart health and sense of well-being. This article addresses both how diabetes affects your ability to be physically active and how physical activity or exercise can affect someone with diabetes.
Learn more about healthy living below!
The basic problem in diabetes is that fuels, especially carbohydrates (like sugar and starch), but also protein and fat, don't get distributed to the tissues they usually go to (for example, to the muscle, brain, liver and fat tissue) in the necessary manner and build up in the blood and outside of the cells in a person's body. Vigorous physical activity generally involves increased muscle activity and an increased need for fuel in the muscle. Changes in fuel distribution because of diabetes and alterations in fuel distribution from exercise going on at the same time can have opposite effects.
Exercise generally tends to lower the blood sugar, but there are situations in which it can cause it to rise especially in individuals with poorly controlled blood sugar. Changes in diabetes medications and food intake are frequently needed to prevent dangerous consequences and it is best when those are planned for in advance. If your physical activity, your medicine, and your diet are not coordinated, this can put you at risk for either very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or very high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). There are also some differences in how it affects people with type 1 diabetes versus those with type 2.
Learn more about the connection between exercise and glucose.
Type 1 diabetes is the form in which all the cells which produce insulin have been destroyed. People with type 1 diabetes require insulin treatment. Once insulin is taken, it directs fuel to its target tissues, regardless of the demands of the exercise.
There are mechanisms in the body, such as hormones, to prevent the blood sugar from going too low when the muscle demands more fuel during and after exercise. These mechanisms can prevent low blood sugar in this situation, but only up to a point. There are warning signs of hypoglycemia, which prompt people to eat something to prevent things from getting out of hand. Some common warning signs of hypoglycemia include:
However, in some people with type 1 diabetes, those hormones that protect against low blood sugar don't work properly. Those people need to be more on the lookout for lows and perhaps compromise on how "tightly" they control their blood sugar. Planning means timing exercise in relation to medicines and meals, sometimes reducing medicine or increasing food, or both.
Type 2 diabetes is due to a combination of effects including:
Exercise markedly improves the body's response to insulin in the blood sugar and that is key to achieving excellent blood sugar control using the smallest amount of medicine possible. Physical limitations or injuries can make finding a practical form of exercise a challenge, but the payoff is great in terms of improved blood sugar control and a sense of well-being and reduced risk of heart disease.
There are dramatic benefits of exercise for people with diabetes. However, it is important to understand how your particular medicines and diet will affect your response to exercise and plan accordingly. That is an important benefit of receiving care for diabetes by a team approach with a physician,a teaching nurse, and a dietician.
The American Heart Association and The American Diabetes Association recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or at least 90 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise per week. The activity should be distributed over at least three days each week, with no more than 2 consecutive days of inactivity. A larger amount of exercise (seven hours per week) may be beneficial for maintaining weight loss in the long run. If you have been inactive, it may be important for you to check with your health care professional to decide whether heart function testing is necessary before starting out on a program of more vigorous exercise.
Many research studies are underway to help us learn about eye diseases. Would you like to find out more about being part of this exciting research? Please visit the following links:

that's good
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Henrik Sedin became the Canucks' all-time leading scorer after tallying the two assists in Vancouver's 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars on Friday.
Sedin's first assist went to brother Daniel, who found the net at 3:21 of the second period. That gave Henrik his 756th career point, tying Canucks legend Markus Naslund. Henrik's next assist was a thing of beauty, as his pretty across-the-ice pass six minutes later in the second set up Alexandre Burrows' snapper that gave the Canucks a 3-1 lead.
To commemorate the moment, the announcer said that Daniel grabbed the puck that made history—no doubt that will be in Henrik's keepsakes. And Canucks fans gave him an ovation that he earned and deserved.
Naslund and Trevor Linden gave their well-wishes to Henrik in a video tribute.

ECM Capitol reporter
Rep. Debra Hilstrom of Brooklyn Center suggested the gun issue came to her rather than the other way around.
"When you serve on a committee, and you listen to a lot of testimony, and you get 6,000 emails in three days," Hilstrom said with a smile, speaking after a State Capitol press conference Wednesday (March 6) announcing her gun legislation.
With white-shirted sheriffs at her side, Hilstrom presented legislation that focuses on tightening existing background checks, includes provisions sought by county attorneys, but does not contain so-called universal background checks found in other bills.
Hilstrom, Democrat and House Judiciary Finance and Policy Committee chairwoman, heralds her bill as a common sense, get-things-done, bipartisan piece of legislation with 73 bill cosponsors already lined up.
"This is an attempt to solve real problems for Minnesota," she said.
The legislation is supported by the Minnesota Sheriffs' Association, Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek and the Gun Owners' Civil Rights Alliance.
It's called a National Rifle Association (NRA) cop-out bill by critics.
But Stanek styled the bill as focusing on preventing those who should not have access to guns from getting them.
It's in keeping in what he's been telling people, including President Barack Obama, since January, he said.
"Gun ownership is not a privilege,: Stanek said. "It is a right guaranteed by Second Amendment."
Among the provisions in the bill is a broad sharing of mental health commitment information.
Time requirements are placed on corrections officials for the transfer of fingerprint information for background check purpose for out-of-state prisoners brought into their custody.
The bill makes it a felony to provide a licensed gun dealer or private seller of firearms or ammunition with information that the person knows to be materially false in order to deceive the sellers.
In a statement, Executive Director Heather Martens of Protect Minnesota called it predictable that an NRA-approved bill lacking the most important preventive steps in gun safety would be introduced.
"If this NRA bill passes, Uzis and Glocks (guns) will still be readily available online, at gun shows, at flea markets, and all over the state with no background checks," Martens said..
"That's crazy."
But Hilstrom argues her legislation isn't watered-down, and that she is anything but an NRA pawn.
The top priorities of the sheriffs' associations are in the bill, she said.
Likewise, changes sought by county attorneys are also found in it.
"I've never been endorsed by the NRA," Hilstrom said.
"I got a 'C' once, a 'D' once, and an 'F' once," she said of NRA legislative score cards.
Nor has she ever submitted a application for endorsement by the NRA, she said.
Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, speaking after a Capitol event, said he has always supported universal background checks — in the past he has said the existing background-check law contains "gaping holes."
Although saying he hadn't yet seen Hilstrom's legislation, Dayton said he had recently met with Minnesota Sheriffs' Association officials.
"They have a good, common sense approach," Dayton said.
It would be a "big disappointment" if lawmakers sent him gun legislation without a universal background check provision, Dayton explained.
But such an omission would not necessarily draw a gubernatorial veto, Dayton indicated.
"I tend to veto bills for what's in them; not what's not in them," he said.
Some legislation heard before legislative committees this session would require most gun purchases to take place through licensed gun dealers.
Provisions allowing the gun dealers to charge fees for handling the sales transactions have been contained in some bills.
Andrew Rothman, vice presidnet of the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance, calls such fees the equivalent of a poll tax.
That is, it's a fee for pursuing a constitutional right.

We're delighted you are interested in the birds and programs of The Gabriel Foundation. We have so many wonderful birds in our adoption program just waiting for their forever home! You've taken the first step toward adding a feathered friend to your family.
What is the adoption process?
We ask that all adopters begin the process by taking a tour of the Aviary in Elizabeth where the majority of our birds are housed. This will allow you to see a variety of species of birds, see enrichments and housing options and get an idea how the birds are fed and cared for on a daily basis. We will also ask that you fill out an Adoption Application. We use this valuable tool to help us find a bird that fits with your personality, lifestyle, experience and expectations. There is a required class called Beyond Birdie Basics, which is offered every month as an online class through a Yahoo group. We also offer the Mini Birdie Basics class for those interested in the smaller species of parrots such as Cockatiels, Lovebirds and Budgies. Once you have chosen the bird (or birds) that you wish to take into your family, we will do a home visit to help you get everything ready for your new feathered companion.
What if I already have birds in my home?
Great! You have some idea what you are getting yourself into! Every bird that comes into The Gabriel Foundation is screened for viruses and general health. We require birds in the home of the potential adopter to meet those same standards – for the health and safety of our birds as well as theirs. The medical requirements have been set up by our Medical Director, Dr. Noel. A copy of those requirements will be provided.
What are the fees involved in adoption from The Gabriel Foundation?
There is a $75 ($45 for smaller birds) application fee. This fee covers a one year membership to The Gabriel Foundation (or one year extension if you are already a member – value $25), the Beyond Birdie Basics class (value $15), an educational DVD called "Captive Foraging" (value $25) and a book called "A Parrot for Life" (value $20). Regardless of whether you choose to continue with the adoption process or not, these educational materials will be extremely helpful when you do bring a new bird into your home.
The adoption fees vary from bird to bird. The adoption fees range from $50 for the smaller species of parrots up to $850 for the larger Cockatoos and Macaws. Once you have chosen a specific bird (or birds) we can give you an exact fee. In general, you can expect to pay an adoption fee that is approximately 50% of what you would pay from a private party or retail operation.
How long does the adoption take to complete?
Generally, depending on how quickly you "connect" with a bird, you can expect the adoption process to take between 6-10 weeks for the bird to come to your home. There is a 90 day probationary adoption period initially during which time you will be asked to send regular reports to us on how the adjustment is going. At the end of the 90 days, assuming all is going well and you wish to make the bird a permanent member of your household, permanent adoption paperwork will be sent for you to complete.
It seems like The Gabriel Foundation makes the adoption process very difficult! Why is this?
The combined years of experience we all bring to The Gabriel Foundation ranging from veterinary medicine, aviculture, companion parrot care and parrot welfare has helped develop a protocol that sets the birds up for the best chance of success. It is not our intent to frustrate anyone or make it impossible to add a bird to your family. We take the responsibility for each bird in our care very seriously and we want them to be successful in their new home. We take time to make sure the new family has all the tools needed for long term success. We are invested in the lifetime of each bird that comes through The Gabriel Foundation and we appreciate that you are taking the time to commit to that same level of care.
A downloadable Adoption Application is available on our website www.thegabrielfoundation.org
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to The Gabriel Foundation.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

What's the Correct Time?Math brain teasers require computations to solve.
I recently gave a new watch to my friend for their birthday. However, as usual with my presents, it was quite useless, as it gains 6 minutes every hour. I set it using my own accurate clock at midnight, and the watch now shows 8:26 am. I know that it stopped 30 minutes ago, so what is the correct time now?
Answer8:10 am.
Since the watch is gaining 6 minutes every hour, for every real hour that has passed, the watch will show 66 minutes. Since the watch shows 8:26 am, we know that 506 watch minutes have passed. This therefore equals 460 real minutes and hence 7 hrs and 40 minutes. The watch stopped 30 minutes ago, therefore the time must now be 8:10 am.
What Next?

Jesse Ruben, a 27-year-old singer/songwriter from Upper Dublin Township, comes back to the area for a dream gig at Penn's Landing in front of his biggest crowd to date.
When Jesse Ruben takes to the stage at the WHYY Connections Festival at Penn's Landing on Sept. 7, he will be doing more than just performing in front of his biggest crowd to date.
"I've always dreamed of playing Penn's Landing," the 27-year-old singer/songwriter from Upper Dublin Township says. "In fact, I'd rather play the Electric Factory than Madison Square Garden — I grew up seeing shows there! Not that I would turn down the chance to play the Garden," he quickly adds.
The festival gig is just the latest triumph in what has been a year of success for Ruben. His third release, Thoughts I've Never Had, Vol. 1, has garnered his best reviews and most listens of a career that began when he graduated from the Berklee School of Music in 2008.
Based on his lineage, it's no surprise Ruben made music his career. Both his father and grandfather have been professional musicians, leading the locally based Peter Scott Ruben Orchestra and the Harold Ruben Orchestra, respectively — although Ruben says that family friends handled the musical duties at his Bar Mitzvah.
Ruben says he never really thought about going into the family business until he entered his teens. "When I started playing guitar in high school and when I began writing songs, it was the first time my life made sense," he recalls.
His quietly arresting style, built on the strength of guitar-forward melodies and lyrics that feel as though a friend you have never met has decided to confide in you. If that description sounds like it could fit any number of young male performing artists out there, Ruben agrees.
"There are so many people who do what I do, it comes down to a question of what makes you different," he says. "What I wanted to focus on was making a difference, making an impact."
A traumatic, life-changing event led to Ruben's initial involvement in tikkun olam. In 2005, his best friend, Zack Weinstein, was in an accident that left him a quadriplegic. As a way of dealing with the situation, Ruben wrote "Song for Zack," which drew the attention of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, a leading organization for helping those with spinal cord injuries. He has played numerous shows for the foundation, and this fall will run in his fourth straight New York Marathon to raise funds for the foundation.
His association with the Reeve Foundation has led directly to the creation of his own initiative to help motivate students.
"After the marathon experiences, I wanted to write something to inspire people," he says. The result is the anthem-like ballad, "We Can," which he says straddles that "fine line between inspired and cheesy."
Ruben knew his song had struck a nerve when he received a call from a school in Courtenay, British Columbia. "They wrote to thank me because they were using it as the theme song for their I Can Initiative," a school-wide program that had every student from third through 8th grades create their own ways to effect change in their community. Projects that Ruben saw when he went to visit Courtenay in January included community gardens, suicide-prevention meetings and electricity conservation.
Ruben was so impressed that, with the help of nonprofit consultants, upon his return to his home in Brooklyn, he began to pursue his own I Can initiatives at schools in the United States.
"I've been talking to about a dozen schools around the country about starting this project. If I had learned that I could make an impact on the community when I was younger, it would have made a difference in my own life."
Ruben also has his childhood in mind as he writes the songs for his next album. "The songs that saved my life as a kid had meaning," he says. "I want to make music that, when people are having the best day of their lives, the only thing that could make it better is to put a Jesse Ruben song on. And when people are having the worst day of their lives, they say, 'The only way I'm going to make it through today is if I have a Jesse Ruben song on.' I want to hit the whole spectrum."
Although, Philly boy that he is, he would be fine with the Wells Fargo Center.

Lady Bucs set record in win over Greensborofrom staff reports
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- East Tennessee State junior Tiffani Mayes tied a career-high with 24 points Saturday, as the Lady Bucs rallied from a 12-point deficit in the second half to defeat UNC Greensboro, 65-60, from Fleming Gym in Greensboro, N.C.
With the win, the Lady Bucs (13-11, 13-5 SoCon) set a school record for most conference wins in a season. They have also now won five straight road contests, which is the most consecutive road victories in the history of the program. Meanwhile, the Spartans fall to 8-17 overall and 8-10 in the Southern Conference.
ETSU struggled early on and had trouble stopping UNCG senior Jacinda Lambert. Lambert went 10-of-14 from the field for 25 points.
The two teams traded baskets in the early stages of the contest with UNCG pulling out to an early 10-4 advantage on a Lambert jumper. ETSU rallied to take the lead 11-10 son a 3-pointer from Brook Wilhoit, but UNCG answered on the very next possession on a perfectly executed back door cut from Stephanie Britt.
The Spartans then went on a 19-10 spurt capped by two Lambert free throws to extend the lead to ten, 31-21, at the 3:31 mark. The Spartans would hang on over the final minutes to take a 35-28 lead into halftime.
In the second half, ETSU cut the lead to six following back-to-back field goals from Mayes. UNCG answered the Lady Bucs rally to extend their advantage back to 10, 46-36, at the 10:58 mark. Trailing by ten, ETSU reeled off a 10-1 run to pull within one, 47-46, setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
ETSU knotted the score 47-47 on a Kiya Verdell free throw, but UNCG was unwilling to give away the lead as Jasmie Byrd buried a jump shot on the very next play. The Lady Bucs, however, would retake the lead for the first time since the opening 20-minutes, 54-51, on a B.J. Banjo 3-pointer. Two Byrd free throw in the final seconds kept the Spartans within three, but Mayes connected on two free throws to seal the game for ETSU.
Byrd and Lindsey Reed joined Lambert in double-figure scoring with 13 and 10 points, respectively. The Spartans outrebounded ETSU 42-38 for the game with Reed pulling down a team-high seven.
Verdell added ten points and four rebounds for ETSU, and Wilhoit tied a career-high with eight rebounds. Wilhoit, the team's minute leader this season, played in all 40 minutes of Saturday's contest.
ETSU now travels to Elon for a 7 p.m. tip-off versus the Phoenix.

Our adoption process involves meeting the animal, either at Petco in Menifee on Saturdays from 10-2 or by appointment on other days at the rescue in Quail Valley. We have the best interest of the animal in mind and our goal is to find a good, permanent home for each of our rescued animals. We have the right to decline an application if we feel it is not a good match or fit for the animal. If you like the animal and we both feel it is a good match, an application and adoption contract is completed. A convenient day/time is arranged for us to deliver the animal to its new home to do a home check (to make sure the home and yard are safe and secure). We will collect the adoption fee (cash only) when we deliver the animal to its new home. All our adoptions are on a trial basis because our goal is to have a successful adoption where the animal has a good permanent home and never ends up in a bad situation again. We ask that you give the animal a chance to adjust and settle in his new home and environment. Going to a new home with new people and a new environment is traumatic and stressful. It will take time for the animal to become comfortable around you and his/her new home. This should be a bonding period where you get to know the animal and connect with it, spend time with it and take things slow. He/she will need to get to know and trust you and learn the rules of the house and what is expected of him/her. This takes time, sometimes 2-3 weeks. During this time we will hold the adoption fee and if the adoption is not working out, we ask that you contact us and return the animal and we will refund your adoption fee.
If interested in this animal, please email us with a little info about you, your family, your other pets, your experience as a dog owner (which breed, etc.), where you live (which city, home or apt?), etc. And tell us what type of dog you are looking for--an inside dog, an outside dog or? Thank you.
The public is aware that the local shelters are high kill and, therefore, they turn to private rescues with requests to take in their animals. We are overwhelmed and usually full because the fact is that the number of rescued animals taken in always exceeds the number of animals adopted out. In addition we have a number of animals that are less desirable and hard-to-place, such as ill or senior, that likely will remain here for the remainder of their lives. It takes time, maybe months or even years, to find a new home for a rescued dog or cat and sometimes they never find another home.
Thank You!

You seem to be suggesting that an arahant still has dukkha, but then never mind the 3rd Noble Truth that states that dukkha has been stopped. Either awakening is being free of dukkha or it is not. I would simply state as does the text in question when one no longer regards the khandhas in terms of self, there is no dukkha, no matter how much the khandhas may or may not change. Keep in mind that awakening is freedom from grasping after what changes in terms of self, pushing away what changes in terms of self, or regarding any aspect of one's experience as being a self. The dukkha of the changing khandhas is in the misapprehension of them. Seeing the khandhas correctly one is liberated. Liberated from what? See the 3rd Noble Truth.reflection wrote:tiltbillings wrote:When that passage is taken in its fuller context, you cannot say this: "The life of an enlightened being is impermanent, and so in that light it is also a form of dukkha - albeit a very subtle one," unless you are stating that an arahant is still regarding the khandhas in terms of delusional self.
Hi tilt,
I would appreciate if you could clarify your view a bit further. Obviously I don't see it that way, so I can only guess to what your point is.

This is a digital rendition of an original 1945 Portland Beavers Championship Pennant Ring - with a few photographs of the original. It belonged to my grandfather Eddie Adams, the catcher for the team. It really looks stunning when you see it appear brand new like this.
14K Gold with a Platinum "baseball dome" and a .80 carat round diamond that is G in color and VS1 in clarity. They just don't make 'em like they used to!
Would love to connect with any other relations to the players on this team! Feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Large Sinkhole Swallows 8 Vintage Autos. Corvette Lovers May NOT Want to Look
A large sinkhole opened up early Wednesday morning beneath the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, swallowing eight vintage autos on display.
Thankfully, the ground gave way early in the morning before the door were open to the public and no one was in the museum at the time. The sinkhole appeared to be about 20-35 feet deep and 40 feet wide, and opened up under a domed section of the museum where classic autos were on display on pedestals.

According to NBC News, the rare cars that were involved in the collapse were: (I can't look…)
1993 ZR-1 Spyder on loan from General Motors
2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil" on loan from General Motors
1962 Black Corvette
1984 PPG Pace Car
1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette
1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette
2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette
And, of course, security video cameras captured the painful scene.

On a personal note, the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky., is where my father purchased his Corvette. He doesn't drive it much but said the experience of literally driving a car off an assembly line was thrilling.

Genshaft: No layoffs for USF Poly employees until at least July 2013
After saying last week that she wasn't sure the University of South Florida would be able to keep all the employees from USF Polytechnic past this summer, USF President Judy Genshaft now vows there will be no layoffs for at least a year beyond that point.
Genshaft delivered the message Monday flanked by Florida Rep. Seth McKeel, who helped craft the bill that creates the state's 12th university, effective July 1. McKeel, R-Lakeland, said he wanted to clarify the situation after hearing about Genshaft's message last week.
Starting on that date, USF Poly will have to give the new university all its resources, while USF gets $10 million to allow existing students to finish their degrees in Lakeland with USF Poly faculty. Though Genshaft previously said USF Poly's payroll was closer to $18 million, McKeel pointed out at a news conference Monday that the Florida Poly legislation includes language that requires the new university to cover any additional costs incurred by USF during the teach-out.
Genshaft said any staff that aren't needed as USF Poly starts closing down, such as those in the admissions office, for instance, would be welcomed at the main USF Tampa campus.
Meanwhile, the Florida Board of Governors, which oversees the state university system, could begin taking applications for membership on the new Florida Polytechnic's board of trustees as early as this week, a spokeswoman said.
The board appoints five members to each of the state's public universities' 13-member governing boards, and the governor appoints six more for staggered five-year terms. The two remaining seats are taken by universities' student body presidents and chairs of their respective faculty senates or equivalents.
The call for applications typically remains open for 30 days.
Still, even after that board is set up, the new university won't be able to open its doors overnight, university system Chancellor Frank Brogan said Monday.
"I'm not sure yet that people even understand the significance of this change," Brogan told Board of Governors staff members, as they prepared for an upcoming meeting on the Poly transition plan. "Transition is not tossing someone the keys on June 30 as the other party walks out the door."
Information from the Ledger, of Lakeland, was used in this report.

Brutal stuff.
I really think the Lockout caused a lot of these player's injury issues. Playing all those games so close together with a lot of traveling mixed in was a recipe for disaster. Have you noticed how many players wound up injured during the following 12 months after the lock out ended and that season began? I don't think it's just a coincidence.
Almost no question about that. They know how to play without Rose. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them win their first round series either - highly dependent on who they match up with, of course. But I wouldn't expect them to merely squeak into the playoffs. Hell, the way the East looks now, they could even be the third seed.
The real question is, can they make it out of the second round of the playoffs without Rose? Seems doubtful.
I'm one of those people who hates this because I hate the role injuries play in sports. I want the best of the best playing, on my team and elsewhere. That doesn't mean our future wins against the Bulls will count for less in my mind or anything silly like that. I just love to see everyone at the top of their games, going at it.
Then again, since I wouldn't be happy about watching robots play the game, I should admit that scenario has always been a pipe dream anyway.

"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
Honestly, if I were the Bulls, I'd really think about blowing that team up for high lottery picks, they have too many injury prone starters. Send Deng to Cleveland for their 1st round pick and Verajao. Cleveland gets the veteran Wing who can really score and defend. Chicago gets young and get a real serviceable back up center who can fill in for
Amnesty Carlos Boozer, and pay Taj Gibson.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
I really doubt it. These guys have been playing basketball pretty much daily for the past 15 years of their lives. I understand the NBA is hard on a person's body, but they're used to it. Going and playing in an AAU tourney, where they play 5-10 games a weekend takes just as much toll.
As for saying that the NBA is different, because players play harder, I don't buy into that. Effort/energy is a finite thing, and while they might not put a whole lot of either into playing defense, they get out and run and play offensively as hard as they can because for a lot of them that's their ticket to going somewhere.
I would say that injuries have a lot more to do with the long term yearly stress they continue to put on their body, than it is just the NBA regular season. The NBA has been playing 82 games for nearly 50 years now.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
I'm surprised Rose hasn't considered going abroad for treatment it worked for Kobe for a while there.
I don't feel bad for Rose/Bulls/bulls fans. Not saying I feel good either.
I acknowledge it sucks for all of them, but I don't feel anything really.
Personally I like not dealing with south chicago fans in the fieldhouse so I don't feel bad for him either. I also wish Rose was healthy and we beat the living snot out of them and the Heat this year so all the fake Indy Bull and Heat fans could crawl back in their collective hole. Sort of like knocking the wheels off the bandwagon and watching everyone climb off of it in shame.
So the East basically has two teams now, this is kind of pathetic. Was hoping other teams would tire down Miami, but nope. Who is even going to watch the East playoffs until the ECF.
They're definitely at a crossroads as a franchise, a lot of hard decisions need to be made and I don't envy their front office at all.
I am with graphicer. I think they trade Deng and amensty Boozer. Don't they have the Bobcats pick? Plus their own. They could get another for Deng (extension and trade). Maybe they can get some young pieces. Allow them to mesh this year and next. Rose might be full go next January. You pick up a cheap vet. Or go all in after Melo, Lebron, or someone else. Knowing their fortune I bet they get a top 3 pick in the lottery.They traded Brand before. They might be willing to trade Deng and Noah.
Or they can limp into another 2nd round series.
Damn it. This really sucks for Rose and the Bulls
Do they attempt to tank and rebuild now?
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Is it too soon to say, "Hey they were the Preseason Champions" ?
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Well, asterisk or not, the East is now basically a two-team race unless there's a blockbuster trade or Brooklyn gets it together.
This is karma for Rose not playing last year when he could have. Karma is a *****
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
How many tanking teams will accidentally make the playoffs? Philly is absolutely a playoff team, and Boston is decent as well
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
I have never understood how karma works here... I mean Granger is injury prone is it karmic for him too?
And I don't care for Derrick Rose that much to be honest but its bad luck at this point.

Be interesting watching Boozer now. He seemed to be playing with some motivation this year, like he really wanted to avoid that amnesty. Now he is almost certainly gone, how will it affect his game. It could plummet.
Ultimately it won't really matter though.
Thibs will probably get this team to unite. But they still have no bench, so there is no way they make a pus like last year...but playoffs, sure.

Stay classy, Chicagoans...
So, is Rose turning into the NBA's version of Bob Sanders? Mega-athlete who just can't stay healthy. He has been battling injuries since the lock-out season.
The crazy thing about the East is that the Bulls are still probably in the top half of the Conference. Especially if the New York teams continue to struggle. The biggest argument against 'blowing it up' is that seemingly half the East is already in tanking mode. Unless your plan involves telling Tom Thibodeau to take a vacation I'm not sure how the Bulls get bad enough to miss the playoffs.

The Breakers put on their best offensive display of the season against Sydney last night, making it eight straight wins and marking their 100th home victory in style.
The two-time defending champions proved far too explosive for their opponents at the North Shore Events Centre, equalling a club-record winning streak and giving themselves a chance to make it an unprecedented nine in a row on Saturday night in Wollongong.
The 95-76 victory over the third-placed Kings (10-10) left the Breakers (16-3) and Perth (12-4) as the only teams in the Australian NBL with winning records, with a rematch of last year's grand final series firmly on the cards.
During the Breakers' winning streak, they have often found themselves trailing inferior teams before bursting to life and coming home strong in the second spell.
But tonight it was the opposite, as the North Shore club put together one of their best opening halves of the campaign before surviving a Sydney resurgence late in the game.
Coach Andrej Lemanis hesitated when asked if it was the best he had seen his side play offence this season, describing that facet of their game as a work in progress.
"I certainly feel over the course of the season our offence has developed and grown," he said. "Over the last month we've had some good offensive outputs, we've just missed some shots. Tonight we got rewarded for getting open looks."
With Sydney storming back in the second spell, it was fortunate the Breakers succeeded from so many of those opening looks. The Kings almost threatened to repeat their win over the Breakers in early December before Daryl Corletto iced the game to register a season-high in points.
The sharp-shooter drained six three-pointers to lead all scorers with 22, lighting the fuse early and again finding his form when his team needed him in the fourth.
"Daryl's been busting his arse over the last few weeks putting in extra work," Lemanis said. "When you see that, there's no surprise he comes in and shoots six of eight from the three-point line."
Corletto started the game with a hand as hot as any seen during the Breakers' previous 99 home victories. The shooting guard scored his side's first 14 points, including four triples in four minutes, to help the Breakers jump out to an early lead.
The Australian soon took a seat but appeared to pass on his radar to countryman CJ Bruton, who nailed back-to-back threes of his own to boost the Breakers' buffer to double digits.
The Kings cut it to 29-20 at the end of a flowing first quarter, but the home side's advantage soon swelled to 15 as their energy on defence and fluency at the other end proved potent.
Corletto couldn't replicate his opening salvo when he checked back into the game but his side were still following his early lead, shooting a phenomenal 8-11 from deep to lead 58-40 at the major break.
The only concern for New Zealand was the form of Sydney centre Ian Crosswhite, with the reigning player of the week exploiting the Breakers usually-solid interior to have 18 points at the half.
The big man's scoring touch appeared to be causing little distress as the Breakers increased their advantage to a game-high 22 early in the third. But 14 points in the period from Ben Madgen enabled Sydney to stay in touch, reducing the deficit to 11 at the final break and leaving the defending champs with some work to do.
The margin soon slipped to single figures before Corletto picked the right time to drain his fifth and sixth three-pointers, putting the final nail in the Kings' coffin and making it eight straight wins.
Breakers 95 (Corletto 22, Abercrombie 17, Bruton 12), Sydney 76 (Crosswhite 22, Madgen 20, Henry 11). HT: 58-40.

How to Survive the Apocalypse
September 23, 2017,
Carotenoids are a group of more than 700 fat soluble nutrients that produce the colors in foods such as carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and other deep green, yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables. Many are proving to be very important for health. Beta carotene is the most widely studied carotenoid, but others are proving to be of great interest. As with some, but not all, carotenoids, beta carotene is known as a provitamin A because it converts to the vitamin in the body.
Carotenoids are categorized as either xanthophylls or carotenes according to their chemical composition.
Carotenes are hydrocarbons and most are found in yellow, orange, and red vegetables. They include beta and alpha carotene and lycopene.
The beneficial actions of most carotenes such as those in tomatoes, corn, and carrots, appear to be enhanced by cooking them, especially in oil (preferably olive, canola, or another monounsaturated oil). (Note: Cooking can also destroy certain nutrients, such as vitamin C, in these vegetables.)
Xanthophylls contain oxygen and most are found in green vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, and kale. They are also in yellow fruits and vegetables. Xanthophylls include lutein and zeaxanthin, which are both stored in the retina of the eye. Neither converts to vitamin A. Both are powerful antioxidants and may be very important for healthy eyes. Unlike carotenes, cooking may reduce the antioxidant activity of some xanthophylls in foods, although probably not to any significant degree.

Touching Base: A Message from the ChiefMarch 24, 2013
Dear Community Members and Department Personnel:
For your Information:
Recently I was asked how community members could use the Pasadena Police Department's webpage to research information listed in Touching Base under Critical Incidents. For those of you interested, you are welcome to use the following steps:
The Pasadena Police Department is a very robust tool for your use. It is a great way to stay connected with your police department and check police activity in your neighborhood. Additionally, there is information on numerous youth programs, including: PAL, Explorers, and the Junior Public Safety Academy.
Free Gun Disposal Offered by the Pasadena Police Department: I would like to remind community members that they may dispose of unwanted firearms through the Pasadena Police Department. All types of firearms are accepted; pistols, rifles, shotguns, antiques or replicas, regardless of their condition. There are no costs associated with surrendering your firearm.
Community members can request a police officer to respond to their home or business in Pasadena, where they can surrender the weapon. Individuals may also transport the unloaded weapon to the Pasadena Police Department at 207 North Garfield Avenue, Pasadena. If you intend to transport the firearm into the police station, please contact the Pasadena Police Department beforehand at (626) 744-4241. The police operator will provide instruction on the safe and legal means for transportation. Gun registration or related paperwork is helpful, although not necessary to voluntarily surrender the firearm. The police department also accepts unwanted ammunition; however, military ordinance requires special handling and will be evaluated for safe disposal by law enforcement personnel on a case by case basis. Removing unwanted firearms by turning them into law enforcement is an important step community members can take to ensure guns never end up in unintended hands and possibly used in a violent crime.

Pasadena's Finest:
On February 13, I received a letter from Jim Hunt, Monrovia's Chief of Police, commending detectives assigned to the West San Gabriel Valley-Anti Crime Team (WSGV-ACT). Monrovia Police Department (MPD) detectives were investigating an Elder Abuse and Burglary case. Once MPD detectives identified the suspect, they requested the assistance of WSGV-ACT.

On March 1, around 10:04 a.m., Pasadena Police Department received a telephone call from a PUSD High School concerning a parent who alleged a student was attempting to sell a gun on campus. The concerned parent was monitoring her son's Face Book page when she learned of the possible transaction. School officials immediately called PPD and School Safe Team (SST) officers responded. SST officers made contact with the "would-be" seller, who is a student at the concerned school. The contact was made without incident. The concerned student admitted he was attempting to sell a BB gun to another student; however, the weapon was not on campus. Locker and storage area searches verified the student's assertion that the weapon was not on campus. SST officers responded to the student's residence and talked with his mother. The student's mother knew her son owned a BB gun; however, the gun was not in the residence. SST officers provided safety tips to the family and they were responsive to their interaction with the police. School officials were advised of the outcome and will handle the incident internally. If this had been a real firearm, PPD Safe Schools Team officers would have been right on top of the incident.

Tom's mentee received failing grades prior to his intervention. Now the young man is maintaining a 2.8 GPA. Tom spends a great deal of his off-duty time working with his mentee and the improved grades are proof that mentoring has a positive impact on young people.
On March 13, I received an email from a local community member commending Pasadena Police Sergeant Tory Riley for her professionalism and dedication. Tory was involved in an effort to retrieve some stolen property for the victim, who emailed me to commend her.
On March 15, Pasadena Police Corporal Todd McDonald, Officers Doug Hamblin, Anthony Burgess, and Scott Vandergrift graduated from the Deputy Leadership Institute (DLI), held in Santa Clarita.

Of specific note, Officer Doug Hamblin was selected as the class speaker by his classmates and did an outstanding job. Pasadena Police Lieutenant Rick Aversano attended the graduation.
Critical Incidents:
On January 19, 2011, a Male Black Adult was shot and killed while sitting on the front steps of his residence, which was located in the 1700 block of Summit Avenue. A suspect was arrested shortly after the murder. The case was assigned to Pasadena Police Detective Grant Curry, who was assisted by the Homicide Unit. During the course of the investigation, Grant and his partners followed several leads. Pasadena Police Officer Ken Florendo also assisted in the investigation. On April 5, 2011, Pasadena Police Detectives assigned to Criminal Investigations, the Special Enforcement Section, the Special Investigation Unit, and the Fugitive Apprehension Unit served several search warrants, recovering numerous handguns and additional evidence associated with the homicide. On March 12, 2013, the suspects were convicted of first degree murder, along with several enhancements. Both suspects are facing 75 years to life. The Homicide Unit at the time consisted of Sergeant Ernesto Devis, Corporals Grant Curry, Keith Gomez, Ara Bzdigian, Jason Van Hecke, Cuong Pham, and William Broghamer. The investigation was well supervised by Lieutenant Tracey Ibarra and Sergeant Ernesto Devis.
On March 5, Special Investigation (SIU) Detectives conducted an undercover narcotics operation involving a large quantity of cocaine. Later, SIU detectives conducted an enforcement stop involving a Male Hispanic Adult. During the stop, the detectives discovered the suspect was in possession of approximately a half ounce of cocaine. SIU detectives later applied for a search warrant and served it at the suspect's residence, with the assistance of the West San Gabriel Valley Anti-Crime Taskforce (WSGVACTF). The detectives recovered approximately $1,287.00 during a vehicle stop near the search warrant location, and an additional $9,496.00 was recovered at the suspect's residence. In total, SIU detectives recovered approximately 1.1 pounds of cocaine and more than $10,000 in U.S. Currency.
On March 12 at about 12:00 p.m., three Male Blacks drove to John Muir High School in a late model SUV. One of the passengers exited the vehicle and climbed a rear fence at John Muir High School (Canada/Casitas area). The suspect was on the school property when he removed a revolver from his waistband and pointed it at a group of students. While doing so, he yelled gang slogans. The students ran from the location while the suspect retreated to the SUV. The suspect vehicle then left the school. A short time later, the same group of suspects walked to the front of the school and was confronted by a security guard. The suspects asked for a baseball schedule; however, they were told to leave the campus. The suspects walked back to their vehicle and drove away south on Lincoln Avenue. Pasadena Police officers checked the area for the vehicle, but could not locate it; however, the officers did locate a few witnesses (Muir students). One of the students was extremely uncooperative and did not provide much information about the incident. PPD officers notified the Altadena Sheriff's Department, CHP, and the department's Special Enforcement Section. Safe School Team Corporal Steve Oberon supervised the preliminary investigation.
On March 13 at about 8:23 p.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the 1800 block of Summit Avenue regarding shots fired. On arrival, officers were told that the victim (Male Hispanic Juvenile) was walking with friends south on Summit when he was confronted by a group of gang members. A suspect removed a handgun from his waistband and fired 5 shots at the victim, who was hit once in the torso. The suspect and his confederates fled the location prior to the arrival of the police. The victim was extremely uncooperative and refused to provide officers with any substantive information about the shooting. The victim was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. The crime scene was contained and police detectives are actively investigating the attempted murder.
On March 13, Pasadena Police officers investigated a residential takeover armed robbery in the 1900 block of North Arroyo Boulevard. The investigation was a factor in a deputy-involved shooting, which occurred on March 14 at around noon. Pasadena Police officers, FBI agents, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department conducted a massive yard-to-yard search and arrested one suspect without incident. Subsequently, the robbery investigation led detectives to a nearby jurisdiction, where a second suspect was arrested without incident. Officers recovered a loaded revolver during the search of the residence where the second suspect was arrested. Both the suspects were booked at the Pasadena Police jail and on March 18, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office filed multiple felony counts against the suspects including: Armed Robbery, Elder Abuse (the robbery victim was 89 years old), and felon in possession of a firearm. In total, approximately 9 felony counts were filed, including gang enhancements. This investigation is a great example of the comprehensive work produced by the Pasadena Police Robbery Detectives and their supervisors. Personnel involved in this case include: Corporal Carolyn Gordon, Officer David Duran, Officer Dustin Gomes, and Sergeant Michael Bugh.
On March 16 at 11:50 p.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the City of Alhambra regarding a Mutual Aid Request. The officers were told that Alhambra Police Department received a robbery silent alarm at a convenience store. A witness saw the suspect running out of the store with a cash box, and followed him. APD officers arrived and chased the suspect. Subsequently, the suspect and officers shot at one another; however, it is unknown if anyone was hit by gunfire. The suspect was last seen running on to the San Marino High School campus. The area was quickly contained. Pasadena Police officers assigned to the Special Enforcement Section (SES) were responsible for containment duties. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department also assisted with the search and subsequently arrested the suspect without further incident.
