The death of a popular and talented Walled Lake Western High School student has sent shock waves through the district.
Michael Camilleri, a senior at the school, captain of the soccer team and 2012 homecoming king, died Monday evening. The death was ruled a suicide by the Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office, and a note sent home to parents and students indicated the attempt occurred Thursday at his home following recent struggles with depression.
Watch a report on the suicide on today's News at Noon.
"Honestly, he was exactly what you want in a kid," said Walled Lake Western baseball coach Mike Larges.
Camilleri, 17, held a 4.3 grade point average and was deciding between the University of Michigan and Stanford for college. He was a member of the National Honor Society and the school's Positive Peer Influence group and also was a captain of the baseball team.
About 500 students attended a candlelight vigil for Camilleri at the school's football stadium on Sunday. Larges said often times, events like those feature embellishments as people attempt to be nice to the person who has passed.
"The hardest part was everything that everybody said about Michael was true," said Larges, who coached the starting second baseman for three years.
"He smiled every day," Larges said. "He was a 'Yes sir,' 'No sir,' kind of kid. His passing affected a lot more than just the students."
Parents -- there were "50 or 60 at the vigil" -- and faculty also took it hard, Larges said.
"I love him and I miss him," Larges said.
"I wish I knew and could have been there. It's eating me up as much as the kids."
Even students from rival schools were affected by Camilleri.
A Walled Lake Central student spoke at the vigil and said "he just wants everyone to be like a Michael Camilleri," Larges said.
The saying caught on quickly, with students reaching out on Twitter to share the message.
Several students tweeted some version of "Be a Michael Camilleri," a clear symbol of the positive effect that Camilleri had on his fellow students throughout his life.
"That's kind of how it's been," Larges said. "Everyone just said 'Be a Michael.'
"He was that kid who, if he saw you sad or saw you down, he'd ask 'What's going on?' Twenty or 25 kids at the (vigil) said whenever they were down, (Camilleri) didn't even known them, he would just ask 'What's wrong?'"
Even in death, Camilleri will continue to help others, as his organs were donated.
School officials developed a crisis response plan and arranged for crisis counselors, including psychologists and social workers, to be on hand for any student who needs them.
A moment of silence was observed at the school shortly before lunch Tuesday.
Funeral services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday at St. James Catholic Church, 46325 W. 10 Mile Road in Novi.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Michael Camilleri scholarship fund. Details will be posted on the Walled Lake Western High School website at www.wlcsd.org/Western.cfm in the coming days.

Unfortunately i experiencenced some computer problems and the site did not auto save my work so i will be summarizing some stuff instead of a full report.
Hulk Hogan/Bully/Brooke/Aries segment
This segment was going to be a train wreck until Aries came in and saved it, this storyline may be bland and boring but has Aries ever been more hilarious?

Rating: 2.5/5 stars
Aces Segment
It was ok for what it was nothing fantastic
Rating: 3/5 stars

Rating: 2.9/5
Doug vs Matt Morgan
As soon as Morgan came out i knew Doug has no damn chance. This was a quick and very stale match plus squash matches are trash and very lazy to me if there is no point to me he should have wrestled someone relevant to him like Chavo or Hernadez
Rating: 2/5 stars
Gutcheck Judging- Wes Brisco
This was a very suprising,compelling and emotional Gutcheck with the judges mentioning real problems like ring work, this was a huge step up in intensity from last months

Rating: 3/5 stars
RVD vs Austin Aries (X Divison Title Match)
This was a fantastic match with great spots by both RVD and Austin Aries, that had me at the edge of my seat wondering who would win....until Bully would come and eff the whole thing up by fighting Aries after a few comments he made about Brooke, i just hate when a good match ends in DQ. The show ends with Bully and Hogan staring down.
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Overall: I give this a 7.5 because even though it was good it still had a few boring and pointless things and compared to other episodes it does not look that awesome.
Extra Comments: Well i know you guys enjoy my reviews of WWE ppvs and Impact Wrestling but how would you guys feel if i reviewed ROH or even NXT from time to time? I hope you enjoyed this blog and have a great day guys.

Dam Basics
A dam is a man-made barrier that impounds (i.e., collects and confines) water. Dams can serve various functions, such as to control or store runoff, provide drinking water, provide recreational opportunities and more. In Fairfax County, most dams are constructed earth with a concrete control structure. There are thousands of small stormwater management facilities in the county that utilize dams to store excess stormwater runoff from our land in a dry pond or a wet pond. Water in a dry pond drains completely after a rain event, while a wet pond will have a permanent pool. A few larger dams, such as Lake Accotink, provide recreational opportunities or provide a source of drinking water, such as the Occoquan Reservoir.
What Does a Dam Look Like?
The dam diagram to the right depicts a typical wet pond utilizing a dam with a permanent pool. There are several common features found in most dams, these include:
- Black Line - Normal water elevations.
- Red Line - Water elevation during a flood event.
Control Structure - A structure through which water
flow is directed through or over during the majority of
rainfall events. Also known as the principal spillway.
- Emergency Spillway - A channel that is designed to provide additional protection against water flowing over the top of the dam (known as overtopping) and is intended for use under extreme conditions.
- Combined Spillway - Many facilities have a combined spillway where the control structure acts as both the principal and emergency spillway.
- Outfall - Structure where water is discharged at normal conditions.
- Toe of Dam - The portion of the dam slope that intersects the natural ground surface.
- Top of Dam - The elevation of the uppermost surface of the dam.
Dams in Fairfax County
The Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services has a Dam Safety Program that is responsible for monitoring about 20 large dams. However, there are several thousand smaller impoundment structures maintained by the county or private property owners.
Every dam must be maintained to ensure it functions properly. Additional information on maintaining stormwater management facilities is available on the Maintenance and Inspections website To report a complaint concerning one of these facilities, please complete the Stormwater Management Pond Maintenance Form.
Though planting on the dam itself is prohibited, planting in and
around stormwater management ponds is an option for communities who are
interested in enhancing their local facility. The picture below is an
example of a typical dry pond before and after a volunteer
planting. For additional information, please see the Tree Planting and Detention
Ponds website.
For additional information on existing dams and stormwater management facilities, please email the Maintenance Stormwater Management Division or call 703-877-2800, TTY 711.

Can People with Lupus Donate Blood?
Back in the day, people with lupus, like many chronic illnesses, were turned away at blood donation centers — despite the overwhelming need for donors. But that's no longer necessarily the case.
Guidelines from the American Red Cross and American Association of Blood Banks note that people with most chronic illnesses are welcome to donate providing they feel well, the condition is under control and they meet all other requirements for eligibility. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration provides the following description of who can and cannot donate blood; having lupus is not a criterion, but it is likely you will be asked if you are feeling up to it before giving blood.
To be eligible to give blood, you must:
- feel well and be able to perform normal activities
- have a blood pressure within normal limits
- have a normal temperature
- be free from acute respiratory diseases
- be at least 16 years old
- have a normal blood hemoglobin level
- not have donated blood in the last 56 days
Reasons you may not be able to give blood include:
- not feeling well
- having anemia (about half of people with SLE are anemic)
- past use of needles to take drugs that were not prescribed by a health care professional
- having a sexually transmitted disease
- being pregnant
- getting tattooed or having body piercings in the last year
- living in, or visiting certain countries during designated periods of time
In most cases, taking medication will not affect your eligibility to donate. However, there are medications, some of which are among those prescribed for lupus, which can disqualify potential donors.
Talk to your physician before deciding to donate blood. If you get the go-ahead, prepare for your visit to the blood bank center by taking along a list of all the medications you are taking or have taken in the past. Some blood banks may welcome your donation while others may not, depending on their specific eligibility criteria.
The key to ensuring that you donate safely for yourself and others is to answer the donor questionnaire completely and honestly. It is important to include all medications you are taking or have taken in the past, as well as any diagnosis you have received. No detail should be left out. As a person with a chronic disease, you know perhaps better than most, how it can feel to receive support from others as well as how good it can feel to be able to help someone else. Giving blood is an amazing way to give of yourself, and you want that gift to be safe for you and for the recipient.

Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Autistic Children: A Pilot Study

- How to Read a Study Record
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that currently affects as many as 1 out of 166 children in the United States. Autism is considered by many to be a permanent condition with little hope for improvement. Treatment for autism is centered on special schooling and behavioral therapy; medical science currently has little to offer.
Recent research has discovered that some autistic individuals have decreased blood flow to the brain, evidence of inflammation in the brain, and increased markers of oxidative stress. Multiple independent single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) research studies have revealed hypoperfusion to several areas of the autistic brain, most notably the temporal regions and areas specifically related to language comprehension and auditory processing. Several studies show that diminished blood flow to these areas correlates with many of the clinical features associated with autism including repetitive, self-stimulatory and stereotypical behaviors, and impairments in communication, sensory perception, and social interaction. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used with clinical success in several cerebral hypoperfusion syndromes including cerebral palsy, fetal alcohol syndrome, closed head injury, and stroke. HBOT can compensate for decreased blood flow by increasing the oxygen content of plasma and body tissues and can even normalize oxygen levels in ischemic tissue. In addition, animal studies have shown that HBOT has potent anti-inflammatory effects and reduces oxidative stress. Furthermore, recent evidence demonstrates that HBOT mobilizes stem cells from human bone marrow which may aid recovery in neurodegenerative diseases. Based upon these findings, it is hypothesized that HBOT will improve symptoms in autistic individuals.
The purpose of this study is to determine if HBOT improves clinical outcomes in children with autism. The study will also determine if HBOT changes markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in autistic children.

Charlotte Edward's 70 led England to a one wicket win over the White Ferns in the first of five One-Day Internationals at Chelmsford.
After the White Ferns elected to bat first and made 231 for eight, England scrambled to victory on the third ball of the final over in a tense finish, to be 234 for nine.
The home side were cruising at 208 for five before the White Ferns fought back to take three wickets for 19 runs, including the scalp of Edwards, but a composed nine runs from tail-ender Katherine Brunt sealed the win.
Nicola Browne was the stand out bowler for the White Ferns taking three for 31, including the late wickets of Danielle Hazell and Holly Colvin as they pressed for the win. Spinner Lucy Doolan was also effective, snaring three for 41.
Earlier, the White Ferns total was constructed around Maria Fahey's 61 off 106 but the lack of meaningful partnerships meant the innings didn't have any real fluency.
Sophie Devine struck 50 off 65 and Amy Satterthwaite made 38 off 51 to ensure a competitive total was set.
England speedster, Brunt, proved to be the difference, taking three for 31 before producing a match winning knock with the bat.
Speaking after the match, coach, Gary Stead said: "We didn't have a significant partnership in our innings and we never grabbed the match by the scruff of the neck
"Maria Fahey anchored the innings well and Sophie Devine batted nicely for her 50 but we were about 30 runs short.
"A key point of the match was the batting power play where they took 56 off the five overs towards the end of their innings.
"Our fielding needs to improve considerably but we fought hard on a good batting wicket and a lightning outfield and if all the matches are going to be this close we will be in for a really great series.
"It was a much improved effort by the team since our Rose Bowl ODI series against Australia in the summer.

The Pac-12 has ruled that Cal defensive end Chris McCain should not be suspended for the first half this week because a failure of the instant replay process led to his incorrect ejection.
McCain was ejected in the fourth quarter Saturday against No. 22 Northwestern for targeting. Because the penalty came in the second half, McCain was supposed to miss the first half of the upcoming game against Portland State.
But the Pac-12 said Monday that because of a technical failure of the replay process, the play was never reviewed. Therefore, the Pac-12 was allowed to look at the play and determined McCain should not have been ejected.
Defending champion Brandon Hagy and Cal teammate Joël Stalter both reached a three-way playoff at the 89th California State Fair Men's Amateur Championship before settling for a second-place tie. Cody Paladino won the playoff after the three tied at 14-under 202 over three rounds at the Alister MacKenzie Golf Course at Haggin Oaks in Sacramento. Cody Blick (Danville, San Jose State) tied for seventh after a 69 for a 206 total, and Cal's Cameron Shaw (69) tied for ninth at 207.

Reviews for Morning Crispies
Average Rating
"I love the taste of these, buy are they supposed to be dry and crisp or soft?"
"I have been looking for the person who submitted this recipe in 1994. I found it in that issue and used it to help start a bakery in a very poor country. I also taught how to make these to people in two countries. Wanted to thank the person who first submitted the recipe. The ultimate compliment came last year when I made them for my son-in-law. He said they are the very best cinnamon rolls he has ever tasted. My husband agrees. They do not last long at our house. I have used this recipe 20 years and highly recommend you try it."

Lou Burgelin was one busy man and the ultimate multi-tasker when it came to community service. Yet, on Christmas Day, there was only one option -- the Florence Douglas Senior Center.
It wasn't merely for the turkey. Or pumpkin pie. Or the holiday jingles.
No, when Louis B. Burgelin started the free meal in 1984, and graciously greeted people until his passing in 2009 at age 92, he was merely doing what he did so often. He brought joy to others.
"He was involved in so many organizations that gave people a hand up," said Vicki Conrad, in her 15th year as the center's executive director.
It was hardly a surprise when Conrad named the annual event "The Free Lou Burgelin Holiday Dinner," which welcomes all ages 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
What it isn't, Conrad said, is a memorial meal honoring Burgelin. The man himself, apparently, wouldn't endorse that.
"Lou would come here and haunt me," joked Conrad.
The dinner that usually serves about 300 people is sponsored mostly by the Elks, local auto dealerships, and businessman Buck Kamphausen, but the center is in dire need of continual assistance, Conrad said. That is one reason why the Florence Douglas Senior Center is one of four nonprofits benefiting from the Times-Herald's Community Christmas Card.
The center's monthly budget is $23,000, down $7,000 a month from a year ago.
"We need more community support to continue to provide services to keep seniors engaged through life, and to afford them independence and dignity," Conrad said.
The center, she continued, serves 2,400 seniors a year in a city that's home to the most seniors -- and low income seniors -- in Solano County. Some 15 percent of Vallejo residents 65 and older are at or below federal poverty level of $931 of month.
"And with increased costs of basic living expenses, that percentage may increase," Conrad said. She said that nearly 15,000 seniors live in Vallejo with an ever-growing homeless population including more elderly residents.
"Things are really tough for people who are older," said Conrad, trying to absorb lost revenue from private finding that is no longer available.
Though the city offers the building at 333 Amador St. for $1 a year, there's no monetary allotment to the center, Conrad said.
"Most senior centers are entirely funded by the city they operate in," she said.
Senior center participants, said Conrad, "have a higher level of health, social interaction, and life satisfaction" than peers who don't use the center.
As much as anything, the center is a safe place for seniors to socialize with their peers, "which is what we're about," said Conrad, noting that the center's Meals on Wheels serves thousands of seniors weekly at $60,000 a year.

"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
So I take it we are even more happy that we didn't get Rondo in that trade that was rumored a while ago? Seems like he overreacted big time. It didn't look Humphries was trying too hard to push KG down.
That was a complete FLOP by KG. I love how the announcer keeps talking about Humphries hitting him in the face and pushing him down, when neither of those things happened.

I would have loved to see Rondo try that with David West. Little boy would be on the ground crying afterward.
Do bloody pulps cry?

Dude is a beast.
Lol at Boston fans booing in disapproval after they announce Rondo's ejection. Yeah, guys, he clearly deserved it. Don't sound so surprised.
No doubt he is a great PG. He had a great streak of games with at least ten assists per game. I just meant strictly from the point of his attitude. This isn't the first time he's shown poor character judgement.
In the 2nd Video around the 1:30 mark: I love Gerald Wallace's expression after he hears he had been given a technical and is ejected as well. Guess he didn't see that one coming... haha

"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
Rondo was trying to get his teammates back(who flopped and made it look worse) then Humphries really took the shove to the next level. Rondo was definitely not in the right, but if a Pacers player had done the same thing, we'd all have his back on it.
That's a good point. Given that Rondo was reacting to more to what he saw from KG rather than Humphries "push" that makes a lot more sense.
You are forgetting two of the must loved words in PD and that people around here overvalue by a lot....... "team chemistry".
Idiotic reaction by Rondo there. It would be funny if KG got a call from the league office about flopping and starting the whole thing.
You can see Hump pushing KG off balance just enough to tilt him while he was coming down.
Hump's left hand, KG's right shoulder. FWIW.

Rondo has done his fair share of stupid things, this isn't one of them. I have no problem with him sticking up for a teammate, and it's not like he went in there recklessly with fists throwing. It was more a get up in Humphries face type of deal.
Heck, it would've been nice to see any one of our guys show that last year when Stephenson got closelined by that large Heat turd in the playoffs (whose name escapes me and isn't worth looking up).
I don't know why, but every time I watch a video of a new "brawl" I always walk away disappointed... my expectations are just so disproportionate to what I end up seeing.
I love Rondo, but what was the point of that? Looking at Hump, you can tell he's like, "dude, why are we fighting?"...
I think it's pretty safe to say, Pacers fans have become pretty jaded when it comes to that word...
That is one thing I believe the Pacers will always hold the title of... no one will top that brawl...

Saddle fit
Everyone has a strong opinion and, just like with politics and religion, that opinion is bound to disagree with that of many others in the group.
One of my clients recently contacted me with concerns about this issue that made me evaluate the veterinarian's position in regard to saddle fit."As an owner," she wrote, "I find the distance in knowledge between saddlefitters and vets to be very frustrating. On one hand the fitters are convinced that saddle fit contributes to many/most soundness and/or behavioral problems, while most vets will argue that they rarely treat a horse for back soreness relating to saddle fit."
This client's comments concerned me because saddle fit and tack analysis are perhaps the last major areas in equine sports medicine that have remained outside of mainstream veterinary education. Veterinary schools now routinely offer coursework in shoeing principals and equine dental care and great strides have been made recently in the incorporation of chiropractic, acupuncture and even holistic medicine in the modern curriculum.
The one area that remains lacking, though, is that of saddle fit and tack analysis. As my client observed, "Proper saddle fit and the problems and troubles from lack of fit, to me, are essential pieces of knowledge for anyone involved in a sport at any level. It is a responsibility in my eyes. Now, do the fitters take it too far? Perhaps. Should most owners and vets take it further? Very likely."
Developing areas The 2001 American Association of Equine Practitioners meeting included a session on bits and bitting concerns and there are numerous equine researchers actively investigating saddle fit and performance issues. These are developing areas and more and more information is becoming available all the time. Practitioners should become familiar with this new information and should begin to incorporate saddle fit analysis into their examinations and evaluations of the performance horse. Most saddle examinations that I have seen done have been cursory at best and a better approach is certainly needed.
One of the best ways to become more familiar with saddle fit and to become more competent at it is to deal with professionals in this area.
The Master Saddlers Association is one of the most respected groups dealing with saddle fit. This association was established in order to provide education for the general horse riding and owning public and for the training, certification and continuing education of saddle fitters. Courses are available that teach the principles of saddle fit analysis and professionals in this organization are available to help veterinarians and their clients.
Back problems Equine back diseases and problems have been under-diagnosed and under-treated for years simply because the horse's back did not lend itself to easy evaluation. It cannot be readily flexed, blocked, and radiographed like other areas of the horse and the available treatment options were generally not that rewarding. Recent advances in ultrasonography, thermography and scintigraphy, however, have made back problems a bit more accessible to diagnosis and treatment.
There still remain those horses, though, that have performance problems that cannot be attributed to specific joint or muscular conditions and the concept of saddle fit problems must be considered.
At times the saddle is fine but the rider is unbalanced. This can be a delicate issue and is an area where the veterinarian and trainer must work together with the rider to identify and correct the problem. At other times the saddle is truly the problem.
Trying to correctly fit a saddle is a difficult task because so many factors come into play. Young horses are growing and changing their body shape. Horses in training and use constantly change degrees of fitness, which affects saddle fit. Very few horses are symmetric and even brand new, name-brand saddles contain their own variations and asymmetries.
10-step method There are some easy steps that can be used when evaluating saddles, however. These "10 steps to static saddle fit" represent an objective means for veterinarians and owners to evaluate a saddle. All these steps should be done with the horse standing squarely on level footing. The horse's head and neck should be kept straight, so an assistant is necessary for this procedure. Each step should be done on both sides of the horse with the saddle in direct contact with the horse's back and without any pads.
Step 1- Position of the saddle Place the saddle slightly forward on the horse's withers. Then press down on the pommel and slide the saddle caudally until it stops at a natural resting-place determined by the conformation of the horse's back. Repeat this process a few times until this "natural" stopping place seems consistent. This point should be well behind the scapula. Resist the temptation to place the saddle too far forward on the withers. This is a very common mistake according to Gene Freeze, master saddler and founder of County Saddlery.
"Many riders place their saddles too far forward and this leads to pinching of the withers and restriction to motion of the shoulder blades," says Freeze.

Complicated and Elaborate, Pocket Watches Are Essential Accessories for Lovers of Nineteenth-Century Memorabilia
"A lot of collectors are gear geeks," says Vivian Swift, watch-department head at Christie's in New York. Pocket-watch collectors, however, tend to fall into two general groups: the technical--interested primarily in how they work, and the decorative--concerned more with how they look. "There are four centuries of watches out there, so most collectors specialize in a period, a particular type of watch, a single maker or in American pocket watches," notes Daryn Schnipper, head of the watch and clock department at Sotheby's in New York.
John Pierpont Morgan, who bequeathed his collection of more than 100 pieces to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, procured sixteenth-, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century watches, many of them enamels. Napoleon almost exclusively patronized Breguet, whose eighteenth-century inventions included the self-winding watch and the tourbillion. James Ward Packard, the automobile maker from Ohio, commissioned complicated watches primarily from Patek Philippe & Co. Technical collectors may seek minute repeaters (watches that chime the hours, quarter hours and minutes on command), chronographs (stopwatches), chronometers (precision timekeepers invented to determine longitude at sea) or ultracomplicated watches (which combine such extras as a celestial chart, perpetual calendar, alarm, chimes and sunrise and sunset indication). A lot of collectors see themselves as caretakers who will ensure that these objects survive intact until they are passed along to the next generation.

In this recipe with Tuscan origins, the cauliflower is briefly simmered, then sauteed in a generous amount of olive oil that's been seasoned with garlic and finished with both lemon zest and lemon juice. This is a pretty garlic-flavored dish, which was fine with me. But if you're not sure how much you like garlic, or if you're planning a romantic evening, you might want to reduce the amount of garlic.
(Cauliflower with Garlic and Lemon was updated with better photos and step-by-step instructions, March 2014.)
Almond and Parmesan Baked Fish.
Cauliflower with Garlic and Lemon
(Makes about 4 servings, adapted slightly from The Best Recipes in the World)
1 large head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into bite-sized flowerets
salt for cauliflower cooking water, about 1 tsp.
3-4 T extra virgin olive oil (I thought 3 tablespoons of oil was enough for this, but in Italy they would add more oil right before serving.)
1 T minced garlic (or less if you're not that fond of garlic)
zest and juice of 1 lemon
salt and coarse ground pepper to taste
Turn heat to high and add cauliflower. Let the cauliflower cook without turning until it's getting nicely browned on one side (I lifted up a piece to check the color). Turn cauliflower and continue to saute, turning as little as possible, until cauliflower is starting to get well browned on all sides. When cauliflower is well-browned, add lemon zest and cook about 2 minutes more.

text: Huskies knock out Dots, 9-3 By Rick Ryan May 21, 2012 Story Share Chip Ellis Herbert Hoover's Zach Mullins helped himself pick up the win, knocking in a run in every time up at the plate. Herbert Hoover's demise last year was in large part due to a power outage with its hitting, as it averaged just four runs in a pair of sectional losses.The Huskies seem determined not to let that happen again.Zach Mullins worked five innings to get the victory, homered and drove in one run in each of his four at-bats Monday to lead Hoover to a 9-3 victory over Poca in a Class AA Region 4 semifinal at Jeff Holliday Field in Falling Rock.The win sends the Huskies (25-8), the No. 5 team in the Gazette's state ratings, into the regional finals Wednesday at No. 9 Wayne (18-13), which rallied late for a 6-5 victory over defending champion Chapmanville in the other half of Region 4.Hoover rapped out 10 hits against a pair of productive Poca pitchers, led by Mullins (3-for-4), Zach Wright (2-for-3, triple, two RBIs), Corey Bird (2-for-4, three runs scored) and Cody Bowen, who stroked a two-run double during a four-run uprising in the bottom of the third that quickly put the Huskies up 6-0."It seems like tonight we got something to fall,'' said Hoover coach Brian Young. "The first two games [against Poca], it seemed like we were hitting the ball right at people and tonight we had a little luck on our side. We got the ball to fall, and they made a couple errors.''Mullins (4-3) started and went five innings, allowing four hits and three runs - all coming on Jake Payne's three-run round-tripper to left centerfield in the top of the fourth. "He pitched real well,'' Young said. "He did everything we asked him to. He kept them off-balance and got ahead in the count some.''Mullins' effort probably means Tristan Fields (6-1, 62 strikeouts in 471/3 innings) will get the call against Wayne on Wednesday as Hoover tries to get back to the state tournament. The Huskies won it all under Kevin Buckner in 2007."It's insane,'' Mullins said. "It's hard to believe it.'' Hoover was scuffling along at the start of the month, losing four games out of five heading into the season's home stretch, a concern for Young and his coaching staff.But since that time, the Huskies have reeled off seven straight wins behind a solid offensive attack, averaging a shade under nine runs in that time. They've also racked up 10 or more runs in a game 13 times this season."As a team, we've realized that we need to play with a lot of heart,'' Mullins said, "and not play selfish baseball. Play the game we know how to play - the way we started playing, the way we were at the beginning of the season and the middle of the season. Now it's coming together for us.''Hoover got hits from six different spots in the lineup against the two best pitchers for the Dots.Sophomore Jake Payne, who brought a 4-3 record and 1.30 ERA into the game, went just 22/3 innings, giving up five hits and six runs, though four of them were unearned - all four of the runs Hoover scored in the third. Payne was relieved by freshman Noah Frampton (8-3, 1.70), who allowed five hits in his 31/3 innings. He was also struck in the back of the leg by a wicked shot off the bat of Wright in the bottom of the sixth. Frampton had troubling standing and walking at first, but was eventually able to resume pitching.The No. 7 Dots (21-13) managed just five hits off Hoover's Mullins and Clayton Edens, and were no-hit for 31/3 innings."We couldn't get hits,'' said Poca coach Gene Estel, "and they hit it where we weren't. It all comes back to timely hitting, and we didn't have that. We had 11 runners left on base - eight of them the last three innings. You can't win many ballgames like that, especially when a team hits like they are."I give our kids a lot of credit. They didn't get down [after it was 6-0]. They stayed in it. I hate it for all of us [that we lost], but especially for our three seniors. All of them played above what we expected coming into the season. But we have a bunch of young kids coming back, so there are some positives to it.''Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or email@example.com.

In the days of pitch counts, combined no-hitters are becoming more and more common. At Turner field today, the Philadelphia Phillies needed four pitchers (and 147 pitches) to completely shut down the Atlanta Braves (second worst run-scoring team in the NL) for no hits in a 7-0 victory.
Cole Hamels started wild before settling down. He needed 108 pitches to get through six innings and told manager Ryne Sandberg he was gassed (five walks didn't help). Clinging to a 2-0 lead after six, the Phillies brought out their big guns with Jake Diekman working the 7th, Ken Giles working the 8th, then closer Jonathan Papelbon closing it out in the ninth getting Jose Costanza (who batted for Justin Upton), Chris Johnson, and Phil Gosselin (final out video via MLB.com).
The Phillies piled on runs to make the final score wide, but with the no-hitter on the line, Sandberg didn't let up with his arms. As always, there was a "close call" early, as Marlon Byrd saved a hit (and two runs) off the bat of Chris Johnson by making this diving catch (via MLB.com)
The no-hitter was the fourth of 2014, to go with Josh Beckett, Clayton Kershaw, and Tim Lincecum. The last no-hitter for the Phillies was Roy Halladay in the 2010 NL Division Series.

The Right Leader for the Right Time
By Rabbi Elazar R. Muskin
People often complain that if we only had leaders like those in past generations, we would not have the problems we face today. It seems to be a chronic malady that we never are satisfied with the leaders of our own time. Yet, an old Jewish adage states, "each generation receives the leader it deserves." In truth, nowhere is this fact so apparent as in this week's Torah reading.
Few biblical stories are as sad as the account in this week's parasha, which describes how Moses could not lead the Israelites into the Promised Land (27:12). Yet, in the midst of this traumatic moment, Moses showed the measure of his greatness. The parasha relates how, instead of bemoaning his own fate, Moses concentrates on appointing a successor (27:15-23). Our own Sages in the Midrash suggest that this is the highest form of altruism, stating: "This tells us the praise of the righteous. When they are ready to part from this world, they put aside their own needs and concern themselves with the needs of the community."
Although our Sages praise Moses, his successor, Joshua, does not seem to fare as well. The Talmud, in Baba Batra 75A, remarks, "The Elders of that generation said: The countenance of Moses was like that of the sun; the countenance of Joshua like that of the moon. Alas, for such shame!"
Rashi, the classical commentator, in interpreting this Talmudic passage, explains that the Elders were depressed and frustrated because they realized that Moses could never be replaced. No matter how great Joshua was, he simply was not another Moses, and, thus, the level of Jewish leadership must decline like the moon in comparison to the sun.
The 19th century of Musar (Jewish ethics) offers an even more critical interpretation, suggesting that Joshua could have truly replaced Moses, but he never rose to the challenge, remaining like the moon, never as brilliant as the sun.
Not all commentaries, however, agree with this critique. Instead, some of the greatest commentators suggest that the Talmudic passage should be read not as a negative assessment of Joshua but as an indictment of the Elders. The "shame" and "reproach" refers to the fact that the Elders did not give Joshua an opportunity to demonstrate his leadership qualities. As is often the case, the Elders of a generation find it too difficult to encourage a younger leader, feeling that the new leader is not worthy of their support. True, the Elders missed Moses, but Joshua deserved their help, and this they tragically were unable to offer.
Moreover, the Elders did not assess the situation properly. As the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land, they needed a commander equipped with the ability to communicate with the masses. Under these circumstances, Joshua, not Moses, was the better leader.
The 19th-century biblical commentator, the Malbim, remarks that Joshua's charisma, his warm, congenial and dynamic personality, provided leadership that everyone could identify with, whereas Moses possessed an aloof personality that only the intellectual elite could approach.
The Hatam Sofer, another 19th-century commentator, reinforces this idea when he interprets the expression in the Talmudic passage, "the Elders of that generation," as referring to a few special leaders who learnt directly from Moses and had a personal relationship with him. The masses, however, were awed by Moses and turned instead to his pupil, Joshua, for advice and guidance.
All too often, we are critical of leaders, comparing them to a glorious past, and we see only deficiencies. Yet we must remember that each generation receives the leadership it needs. Joshua was not a failure at all, but the Elders of his generation judged him harshly and incorrectly because they wanted another Moses. Israel, however, did not need another Moses. Rather, it needed Joshua. And in God's infinite wisdom, Israel received exactly what Israel desperately required.

Wright back in lineup aiming to improve down stretch
NEW YORK -- David Wright's return to the lineup on Thursday brought with it a nugget of optimism for the Mets. Though the team knows Wright is still not completely healthy and isn't likely to be until next spring, the Mets hope he can at least salvage something out of the season's final month.
"A lot of it is leaving here feeling good about yourself," manager Terry Collins said. "We've all seen what David can do. He's had a tough year. He's had a very un-David-like year, and as we know in this game, that happens. You can't be great every day, every year. This is one of those years where he's had some struggles, but if he finishes strong, I think it'd be a real positive thing for him to go into the wintertime."
After taking batting practice on Thursday afternoon, Wright cleared the necessary medical hurdles required for him to play for the first time since Sunday. He said his stiff neck was feeling much better, even if his sore left shoulder remains less than 100 percent.
It was enough for Wright to begin the task of improving upon his .324 on-base percentage and .368 slugging mark, both career lows. But the Mets are still promising prudence with Wright, understanding the danger of the health issues that have undermined him in recent weeks.
"Because of what's happened, if his neck tightens up on him again he's going to say something," Collins said. "If it happens again, there's got to be something wrong. But he said he feels great. There's nothing at all. There are no remnants of the stiffness, so we'll see what happens."

Well, here's a distressing thought: Now all that's left in the 2012 presidential election is … the actual election.
The fun parts ended Monday night with the closing statements in the third and final debate between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, one in which Obama took full advantage of a commander-in-chief's natural edge in foreign-affairs discussions, even as he continued to attack like a challenger.
Obama tried to make every answer about Romney. Romney tried to make every answer about the economy. Since the topic was supposed to be the two candidates' foreign-policy plans, this gamesmanship may not have made either man more popular with the viewers.
This is especially true since a lot of the viewers may have been watching something else, choosing a playoff baseball game or a Monday Night Football game over a discussion of U.S. voters' least favorite campaign issue.
You might have expected Romney to be the aggressor, given that he and running mate Paul Ryan have hailed the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans as a new sign that the Obama foreign policy is unraveling.
But, whether it was because Romney decided to play it safe and nurse his momentum in the polls, or because a pre-debate report that he was feeling under the weather was true, the Republican wound up on the defensive for most of the night in Boca Raton, Fla., much as he had in the second debate on Long Island.
Obama tried to use every question from moderator Bob Schieffer as an opportunity to remind voters of the incumbent's indisputable edge in foreign-policy experience and to bring up Romney's position changes over the months of the campaign.
"One thing I've learned as commander in chief is you've got to be clear," Obama lectured.
Romney wants to "import the foreign policy of the 1980s, just like the social policy of the 1950s and the economic policy of the 1920s," Obama chided.
Romney complains that the United States has fewer battleships, but "we also have fewer horses and bayonets" because warfare changes, Obama joked in the line of the night.
Too often, Romney was left with me-too responses, or statements of attitude instead of real policy difference: "America must be strong." "If I'm president, America is going to be very strong."
If Romney wins this election, it will not be because of foreign policy. This would put him in good company with the vast majority of American presidents.
If Obama had been as sharp in Debate I in Denver as he was in the rubber game, he might be cruising to a landslide win in November.
Instead, the race stands pretty much where anyone looking at a divided nation and a slowly improving economy could have predicted it would stand when Romney declared his candidacy more than 500 days ago: It's a nail-biter, with the current resident of the White House holding a shaky edge in the political forecasts, as the last major hurdle is cleared and the finish line lies two weeks ahead.
"You've now watched three debates, months of campaigning and way too many TV commercials," Obama began his closing statement.
Romney managed a raspy laugh. By then, he could have used a gallon of Ryan's water.
Obama, totally getting away from foreign policy in his last campaign statement likely to be heard by an audience this big, said Romney would take the country back to the economy of President George W. Bush.
"I've got a different vision for America," Obama said, trying to take his candidacy back to the I'm-different appeal of 2008.
Along with the three debates, the months of campaigning, and the way-too-many TV commercials, Obama could have mentioned highlights like the Republican debates (why hasn't he tried to yoke Romney to his more extreme GOP colleagues?), the convention's Clint Eastwood moment and Bill Clinton love fest, the 47 percent and the sudden reversal of fortunes caused by the first debate.
Maybe he didn't want to depress us all with a reminder of all the fun we leave behind when we go to the polls Nov. 6, having to finally decide what it all meant.

Corrigan's Challenge
In a brand new four-part series, renowned chef Richard Corrigan puts his reputation on the line and challenges himself to work outside his Michelin starred kitchen.
How will Ireland's most outspoken chef cope with feeding the Cusack Stand during the All-Ireland football final? Can he cope with the restrictions of working in Mountjoy prison? What does he make of the Irish army ration pack in Kosovo and can he bring kitchen therapy to a centre for the homeless London-Irish?
Richard's challenge is to leave a legacy in each of these institutions. He wants to bring real food to the masses. But is this just wishful thinking and has the outspoken chef finally bitten off more than he can chew?
This fast moving series pushes Richard to the limit and he in turn pushes the institutions to breaking point. Expect a clash of egos, spatulas at dawn and a lot of post-watershed blood, sweat and tears.

AAA-Rated Bonds Sold at Record Interest Rates
Jan. 16, 2009
News Highlights
More Information
On Jan. 13, Fairfax County sold $199.51 million in Aaa/AAA/AAA-rated general obligation bonds to Barclays Capital Inc. The 3.567 percent interest rate obtained is the lowest rate achieved on a strictly new money bond sale by Fairfax County since its first AAA was awarded by Moody's Investors Service in 1975. There was a record high of nine bidders for the sale.
On Jan. 14, a refunding bond sale was held, and $58.37 million in Aaa/AAA/AAA rated bonds was sold at an interest rate of 1.46 percent to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. That interest rate is the lowest refunding rate ever achieved, and the field of 11 bidders is the largest number ever obtained for Fairfax County bonds.
The sale of new public improvement bonds will primarily provide total proceeds of $204 million for schools ($155 million); public safety facilities ($1 million); parks and park facilities ($18.9 million); public library facilities ($4.5 million); and transportation improvements and facilities ($14.5 million). Voter authorization for the sale of these bonds was given by referenda in elections held from 2004 to 2008.
In advance of the bond sales, Fairfax County retained its AAA credit rating from all three rating agencies – Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's Corporation and Fitch Ratings. Fairfax County has held the AAA rating from Moody's since 1975, from Standard & Poor's since 1978 and from Fitch Ratings since 1997. As of Dec. 29, 2008, only seven states, 22 counties and 23 cities in the nation have a AAA rating from each of these agencies.
The very low interest rate for the general obligation bonds reflects a number of favorable factors, according to Deputy County Executive Ed Long. "Timing the sale for January allows the county to take advantage of a period with traditionally low bond issuance and traditionally low interest rates. This year, Fairfax County also capitalized on the increased demand for high quality investments given the volatility in the bond markets. As a natural AAA credit, Fairfax County is a market leader. The value of maintaining the AAA rating cannot be more evident than completing a highly successful sale in a turbulent market."
Since 1978, the county has saved approximately $289.82 million on bond sales due to its AAA rating on new public improvement bonds. Including refunding sales, the county has saved more than $394.91 million as a result of the AAA rating.

Former ETSU pitcher on Burlington clubfrom staff reports
JOHNSON CITY -- Former East Tennessee State left-handed pitcher Josh Kite (Greeneville, Tenn.) recently signed a professional contract with Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians. Kite is currently pitching for the Burlington Indians in the rookie-level Appalachian League.
Josh appeared in 29 games last season for the Bucs, posting a 3-3 record and a 5.46 ERA. He pitched a career-high 56 innings and struck out 50 while walking 25. Kite was 3-0 with a 2.67 ERA and a save in Southern Conference play, striking out 30 batters in 30.1 innings.
Kite was an integral part of the Buccaneer pitching staff over the last four seasons, starting 19 games and appearing in relief on 66 occasions. He broke the ETSU single-season appearances record last season and is tied for the career record (85) with former Buccaneer righty Jarrod Hyder.
Josh has been pitching exclusively in relief for the Indians, going 0-1 in three appearances. He has allowed five hits in 5.2 innings and struck out five.
"I am extremely excited and proud of Josh," said ETSU head coach Tony Skole. "It has been gratifying watching him grow as a person and a player over the last four years. It will be exciting to watch him climb the professional ladder."
Burlington is currently tied for third place in the Appalachian League East Division at 6-9, five games behind first-place Pulaski.

Quick Links
A pivotal part of our Global Health and Justice Project is our affiliation with Uplift International. Uplift International's mission is to advance health equity. In its demonstration Health and Human Rights Project in Indonesia, it is partnered with both the health and legal sectors to create professionals who actively advocate for vulnerable populations. Uplift International also delivers emergency relief and humanitarian aid and was involved in Tsunami Relief in Aceh, Indonesia. Uplift works collaboratively with universities, international health organizations, NGOs, governments and the business community to provide the most efficient and sustainable means of eliminating barriers to health for the most vulnerable populations.
Since its founding in 1997, Uplift International has developed and implemented programs in humanitarian assistance, maternal and child health, telemedicine, and medical educational exchanges in Southeast Asia. During the depths of the Asian economic crisis, Uplift International conducted a series of humanitarian medical airlifts supported by a corporate social responsibility initiative to aid the people of Indonesia that led to sustainable capacity building health projects.
Since 2001, Uplift International has been working on promoting improved health and human rights through its demonstration project in Indonesia. Uplift International's Health and Human Rights Program focuses on educating health and legal professionals to help eliminate barriers to health for the most vulnerable populations. Armed with the appropriate knowledge and skills, health and legal professionals can effectively advocate for health equity and social justice. Our training programs teach doctors, lawyers, public health professionals and students to collaborate with lawmakers, national and local government officials, policy makers, community leaders and the media to develop policies that protect and provide individuals with better access to critical disease-prevention information and quality health services.
Over the last several years, much of Uplift's work has been sited in Indonesia. As a result, Uplift International was in place and immediately active in responding to the devastation of the 2005 tsunami. Uplift International provided humanitarian assistance to aid those impacted by the devastation in North Sumatra, Indonesia. In partnership with Project Hope, Uplift International provided 25 tons of medicine and medical supplies, valued at $7 million. Uplift International worked with its long-time partner in Indonesia, the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI), to send teams of Indonesian doctors, nurses, paramedics and other health professionals to care for the survivors. Jointly, they provided 25 tons of medicines, placed 320 Indonesian doctors and other health professionals to staff medical clinics in 15 camps for displaced persons, and treated over 19,00 patients. As Indonesia begins to recover, Uplift has been actively engaged in rebuilding the research library, computer center and classrooms of Syiah Kuala University Medical School, the only medical school in Aceh.
Although Uplift International has the capacity to provide emergency humanitarian aid, it aims to build capacity and provide sustainable programs in developing countries. In that regard, longer term engagement in Aceh will involve capacity building. The Deans of the Schools of Medicine, Law and the Human Rights Center at Syiah Kuala University are working with Uplift International to develop a Health and Human Rights Center that would provide bioethics and human rights courses to professional students, as well as direct community service through focused programs, such as a women's crisis center and a community outreach program.

Pulmonary Fibrosis
PTB lesions
I am 27 yrs old civil engineer. I did not pass medical tests for my employment going Saudi Arabia.The findings in my medical Result is Calcific scar on upper right lung.I borrowed by xray films and went to two different radiologists for further interpretations and these are there findings. 1st radiologists findings March 20,2008: Linear parenchymal fibrosis on both lobes. 2nd radiologists findings March 25,2008: Few fibrosis in the upper outer right lung with costopleural thickening and PTB Lesions. Why there findings were different? What are the remedies for this disease? Can this be treated or healed? I am so worried right now because of unemployment for this kind of medical result.I did not smoke but I have a brochitis during age 14. Thank you...
Radiologists will often use different words to describe the same abnormality on a chest x-ray so it is quite possible that they are referring to the same abnormality. I am not sure what "PTB lesions" are but from the location and description, one possibility is "post-tuberculosis lesions". It would be a good idea to see a physician for further testing which could include a tuberculosis skin test or perhaps a chest CT scan. It is important to know that many other, less serious, infections can also cause these same changes on the chest x-ray so just because there are abnormalities does not necessarily mean that you have had previous tuberculosis. Also, even if the abnormalities are due to previous tuberculosis, it does not necessarily mean that you are contagious now. Either way, it is a good idea to get it checked out by a physician.
