Summary: Social Work: A Profession of Many Faces, 11th Edition Armando T. Morales, "University"" of California at Los Angeles" Bradford W. Sheafor, "Colorado"" State University" Malcolm E. Scott, "Colorado"" State University" This best-selling text continues to offer a comprehensive introduction to the field of social work with a unique focus on the diverse groups to whom social workers provide services, including children, o...lder adults, disabled persons, and members of minority racial and ethnic groups. Now in its Eleventh Edition," Social Work: A Profession of Many Faces" has educated approximately 150,000 students since 1977. It has stayed current with changes in the human services and social work profession, introducing proactive, cutting-edge material rather than maintaining a reactive position, as reflected in most other texts of its kind. Especially timely issues that this edition addresses include the following: the events of 9/11 and their dramatic influence on human services in the United States; United States involvement in Middle East warfare and the aftermath of physical and emotional damage to individuals involved and their families; and the 2000 Census and how substantial changes in the U.S. population suggest a need for realignment of social services. Fundamentally, this text includes historical material on the emergence of social work as a profession, the areas and groups where human services are provided, and career opportunities for social workers today. The book reflects up-to-date empirical data about where social workers are employed, what positions they hold, what personal characteristics they bring to their practice, and the competencies required to perform their work.________________________________________________________________________ What Reviewers Are Saying: "The hallmark of this text is its devotion to timely material germane to the social work profession. "Social Work" is the most comprehensive, culturally competent text that I have reviewed....A state of the art publication that focuses on social work as a part of an ever-changing society." --Carla Mueller, Lindenwood University ""[Social Work: A Profession of Many Faces]" contains a lot of information that is relevant and pertinent to the profession, the welfare system, the settings in which social work is practiced, and the client population addressed. The text does an excellent job of presenting historical information about the profession." --Tina Hancock, Campbell University ""[Social Work: A Profession of Many Faces]" does an outstanding job of covering all the major topics necessary in an introduction course, as well as content necessary to meet CSWE accreditation requirements." --Catherine N.

I recently changed a large codebase to use that approach instead of inheritance.package MyModule;

Well, you could duplicate all of this functionality and require no MI at all using Moose and the Class::MOP meta level (the only forced inheritance being Moose::Object, but even that is optional). This all too common abuse of inheritance was one of the main reasons I wrote Moose the way I did. Having the meta layer allows you to add behavior to classes which belong with the class and not with any object instances created by the class (your classic OO "seperation of concerns"). Some of this behavior could e
Heh. Point taken
It's also worth noting that two of those classes provide their own constructor. Hmm, which should I use? Can I use both? Must I use both? All the more reason to provide that functionality without inheritance.
Speaking of Moose (which I really like, though I've yet to have used it in a production environment, how's it's performance coming along?

Well, the startup cost is still kind of high because we do so much in the compile phase, but if you are in a persistent environment that is a moot point. The runtime speed is basically "fast enough" for most people and making your class immutable only increases that.

The Humboldt County Coroner's Office released today the names of the parents who died Saturday in a drowning incident at Big Lagoon.
Eureka residents Mary Elena Scott, 57, and her husband Howard Kuljian, 54, died after being swept into the ocean at Big Lagoon near Orick, according to the coroner's office.
A press release from the coroner's office states preliminary reports indicate the family of four and their dog were walking along the beach when the family dog entered the water. In an effort to recover the dog, 16-year-old Arcata High student Gregory Kuljian entered the water. The mother and father then also entered the water after him. All were unable to make it back to shore.
The couple's daughter reportedly was the one who called 911, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
U.S. Coast Guard spokesman Bernie Garrigan said Gregory Kuljian is still missing. He said the search was officially suspended at 6:45 p.m. Saturday due to the fog and cold water temperatures. He said the U.S. Coast Guard is reminding people to always keep an eye on the water.
"The way that beach is with the way the swell breaks is a recipe for disaster," Garrigan said.
The coroner's office said the case is under investigation.

Stop Giving Us The Same Matches Over and Over, WWE!
by, 12-11-2012 at 06:08 PM (11146 Views)
Hey bloggers,
I got a bone to pick with WWE. I'm usually not one to lose my cool on things related to TV entertainment and I usually tolerate a lot of the crap most fans hate. However, one thing that's been frustrating me is what seems to be WWE's obssession of giving us the same damn matches over and over again. And not just the same matches; its the same match, with the same outcome, with the same stipulation, with the same progression and endings, just on different shows. I'm sorry, but is the roster lacking THAT much depth? Is the roster that depleted of star power that we have to showcase the same matches all the time on BOTH RAW and Smackdown, maybe even on PPV?
Now, before I devulge more into this, let me clear something up. I don't have a problem with two wrestlers having more than one match. In fact, I'm a huge advocate of a series of matches. But, there is a difference between having a classic series of matches and BEATING A DEAD HORSE with matches. Let's take The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for instance. They had FIVE MATCHES in the span of SIX YEARS with different stipulations, different outcomes, and different alignments of who was heel or babyface. Same can be said for Edge vs.Taker, HBK vs. Triple H, and Mick Foley vs. The Rock. There was a variety in how the matches were booked and presented that kept it fresh each time.
That's completely different than say, Ziggler vs. Sheamus, that has at least 2-5 times A MONTH on both RAW and Smackdown and the outcome is always the same!! Same people, same presentation, different show. Don't believe me? Check out the statistics for Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus alone for 2012 below:
Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus 2012 Matches:
WWE Smackdown 2/28/2012
Smackdown Taping 6/12/2012
WWE No Way Out 6/17/2012
Smackdown Taping 6/19/2012
Smackdown 6/26/2012
Smackdown 7/17/2012
RAW 1000th Episode 7/23/2012
Smackdown Taping 8/21/2012
Tribute To The Troops 12/9/2012
That's eighteen matches! Not including dark matches. Not one single change of stipulation other than singles, ONE triple threat, and tag. Sheamus WON like 90% of those matches. And yet for some particular reason, WWE wants to continue playing this match up as if NO ONE has seen it before. When its been done to death. Btw, this is JUST 2012. I haven't even gone into 2011 yet. Anyways, let's check out Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus for 2012. Another match I'm sick of.
Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio matches in 2012
Smackdown Taping 4/3/2012
Super Smackdown LIVE! 4/10/2012

Night of Champions 9/16/2012
Smackdown taping 9/18/2012

These matches are no different than the previous list of matches. Same outcomes, different show.
Listen! I know WWE is TV entertainment and I understand that not everything about it is going to be real. That's fine. Not all of it has to be nor does it NEED to be. But unless my intelligence is failing me, I thought the idea of a SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT show was to create the idea that we are watching a SPORT. In a real sport, no pair of teams will face each other eighteen times. At most, they will face each other two or three times and nine out of ten the games will be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT with different outcomes, different scores, and different progressions. That's part of the reason why many viewers watch Football over things like Wrestling more; the organic factor. Even if you want to use the argument that we are watching at TV Show, it still falls flat. If the Ninja Turtles fought Shredder eighteen times for eighteen episodes, not his minions but Shredder himself, and beat him each time, would you keep watching or get sick of seeing it? If Goku fought Frieza eighteen times for eighteen episodes and beat him in each episode, would you keep watching or get tired of seeing it? If Batman fought Joker for eighteen episodes STRAIGHT and beat him each time, would you get sick of seeing it? I'd get sick of seeing it myself. There has to be a variety in presentation, outcome, and progression to give these matches some organic essence otherwise it will come off as a re-run.
So what am I going to do about it? Simple. STOP WATCHING THEM! Seriously. I made a list of matches I have grown sick to death of and every time they appear on RAW, Smackdown, Main Event, Superstars, or a PPV, I will literally change the channel and come back to watch the show when it was over. Here is the list:
Matches I Refuse to Watch Again!
Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio
Sheamus vs. David Otunga
Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan
Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler
Alberto Del Rio vs. Randy Orton
Ryback vs. Two Local Jobbers
Ryback vs. Tensai
Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz
Sin Cara vs. Alberto Del Rio
Kane vs. Big Show
John Cena vs. David Otunga
John Cena vs. Kane
John Cena vs. Big Show
Wade Barrett vs. Randy Orton
Randy Orton vs. Dolph Ziggler

I refuse to give WWE my rating point when they constantly give me the same damn thing over and over with barely any effort to make it different. Personally, I wish more people would do this and help get the message across stronger. However, I am not stupid. I know fans nowadays are so loyal that they'd rather eat the shit given to them instead of turning away from it. So even if I'm the only person doing this, this is good for me. If it's gotten to the point that I'm literally getting frustrated and seeing the same matches over and over again, I'm doing myself the favor of just turning the channel so I can enjoy the show more. How long will I hold this on myself? Until WWE can show me they're willing to mix things up again. Simple as that. Hell, for the hell of it, here is a list of matches I'd LIKE to see in place of these matches.
Matches I WANT to see!
Rey Mysterio vs. Daniel Bryan
Sheamus vs. Kane
CM Punk vs. Kofi Kington
Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz
Ryback vs. Big Show
Wade Barrett vs. The Miz
Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena
Kofi Kingston vs. R-Truth
Kane vs. Ryback
Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara vs. Team Hell No
Team Hell No vs. The Usos
Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara vs. The Usos
Justin Gabriel vs. Rey Mysterio
More matches involving The Usos
More matches involving Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns.
So many other possibilities! So many other choices. There should be absolutely NO reason why we have to get the same damn matches over and over again. Mix it up. Hopefully WWE does this in the future, especially this close to Wrestlemania. If they don't, the result will be fans like me continuing to tune out more and more and more. Btw, before I go, you do NOT have to follow my example. If you love these matches I hate, watch them and cherish them. I want the business to succeed, I just don't think this method of giving us the same people over and over again will fix anything. So let's see how things work.
Thanks for reading. Video of the week is a video version of this blog so enjoy that:
See you next time. Stay classy.

Final steel beam going up at McLane Stadium
As soon as weather allows, construction workers at Baylor's McLane Stadium are prepared to mount the facility's last piece of structural steel, marking another milestone toward the project's completion.
[PHOTOS/VIDEO: Baylor photos || Baylor Athletics video|| Waco Tribune-Herald video feature and photo gallery || KCEN video || 18-month timelapse of McLane Stadium work]
Administrators say the stadium is about 60% complete, and that with 600+ men and women working seven days a week, McLane Stadium will undoubtedly be ready in time for Baylor's 2014 season opener. Members of the media were invited to visit the Bears' future locker room, the new stadium's recruiting center, and even step out on the field Thursday.
"With each successive visit to McLane Stadium, it becomes easier to envision real-life football going on there," notes the Waco Tribune-Herald's Brice Cherry. "Football is coming to the banks of the Brazos, and it's easier to see that by the day."
Mark your calendars for August 31, when the Bears host SMU. See you there!
Sic 'em, Bears!

Collins gives athletic Valdespin chance in outfield
NEW YORK -- Continuing to seek outfield answers, Mets manager Terry Collins gave Jordany Valdespin his first start of the season Friday, leading him off and slotting him in center.
A natural second baseman, Valdespin began learning the outfield last spring and has played it sporadically over the past year, including a few dozen appearances at all three outfield positions in the Majors. Part of his daily routine includes tracking fly balls during batting practice, and any defensive improvement he displays in the near future could affect his playing time going forward.
"We'll find out," Collins said of Valdespin's outfield chops. "We won't know until we run him out there a few times and see how he does. But he's so athletic, there's no reason why he can't make the adjustment. And if he's going to make a difference with the bat in our lineup, we've got to get him in there to find that out."
Valdespin's bat is what most intrigues the Mets. Though Collins indicated earlier this week that Collin Cowgill, who hit a grand slam on Opening Day, would play nearly every day in center field, Cowgill sat Friday in favor of Valdespin. With Collins hoping to give Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Mike Baxter starts this weekend and the Marlins scheduled to throw three right-handed pitchers, it is possible that Cowgill could sit again.
Cowgill's absence Friday left the Mets with a hole atop the lineup, which Valdespin was happy to fill.
"He brings the same things that Collin Cowgill does," Collins said of the leadoff position. "They make a bad pitch, it's 1-0. He gets on the bases, he scores runs, he can steal bases. If you have him in your lineup, that's probably where he needs to be."

First off, want I want to do is provide autocompletions for android xml layout files. Now that's out of the way, I'm simply confused by on_query_completions from EventListener.
Foregoing xml related stuff, I have a function that builds a dict containing related lookup material. For tag completion, I call myDict.keys() and return that list but nothing shows up. This is just working with dumb auto-completion where it makes the suggestion regardless of context.
If I have the following
print "searching for ", prefix
keys = self.lookup.keys()
print type(keys), keys
return keys
I can see the prefix message, I see that keys is a list, I see all the possible values, but nothing is suggested that's contained within the list. If i replace the return statement with
return "chicken", "soup"]
Then suddenly both "chicken" and "soup" are available. If I hard code values from keys in the return, they show up as well. If I cast keys with list(keys) out of paranoia, it doesn't help. If I trim the list down to keys:3], those three items don't show up.
This is mind boggling for something that seems as though it should be so simple. Tips? Suggestions?
Since I have your attention as well, would it be appropriate to use a config key like:
"auto_complete_triggers": {"selector": "text.xml", "characters": "<"} ]
to provide completions on "<" and ":" where perhaps `on_query_context` could return `True` when encountering such?
bleh, a closer look at some examples shows a list of 2-valued tuples being returned, not a list of strings. I suppose it's confusing considering a hard coded list of strings works for autocomplete but seemingly somehow my list wasn't returning anything.

Halos hire Araujo as PA announcer
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Angels have hired Michael Araujo as their new public-address announcer for home games at Angel Stadium.
Araujo takes over for David Courtney, who passed away at age 56 in late November and served as the voice of the Angels -- while also doing so for the Los Angeles Kings and Clippers -- for the last 18 years.
Araujo, fluent in English and Spanish, has served as the PA announcer for Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy since 2002. A lifelong Angels fan who resides in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., Araujo was one of three finalists who announced an Angels game at Tempe Diablo Stadium early in Spring Training.

I agree with the earlier comments about the Rattler. At 175 it can be squirrelly. Under 100 I often go to my Rattler because I can do all the same throws as with the Dart but with more room for error since the Rattler is slower. For me the Rattler has saved me countless times when I have to throw a forehand under 100ft. Deadly accurate especially holding anny lines.

District 30 state rep.: Freeman unseats Asay; Kochmar leads Flygare
In the two races for 30th District state representative, early results show Republican Linda Kochmar leading Democrat Roger Flygare for position 1, while in the position 2 race, Democrat Roger Freeman leads incumbent Republican Katrina Asay.
Kochmar is edging Flygare by about 500 votes, with 50.9 percent voting for the Federal Way City Councilwoman, according to results on the Secretary of State website. Those election numbers take into account a handful of Pierce County voters from the Milton and Pacific areas.
At an election night gathering at the Courtyard Marriott, Kochmar expressed confidence that she will win the race. When asked what she plans to do after ending a long campaign that began in Nov. 2011, she replied, "Sleep."
Kochmar and Flygare are running to replace Democrat Mark Miloscia, who ran for state auditor instead of re-election.
Flygare, whose campaign came under fire this fall over inaccurate statements related to his military service, has not conceded the race.
"We knew that this would be a tight race, and we expect to see my opponent's early lead shrink significantly over the next several days," Flygare said in an email.
Freeman, a Federal Way City Councilman, is about to unseat Asay after capturing 54.58 percent of the vote, according to election results on the Secretary of State website.
Asay was elected to the Legislature in 2010. She replaced Skip Priest, who was elected mayor of Federal Way. Freeman was elected to the city council in 2009.
At an election night gathering at Mariachi Alegre restaurant, Freeman credited his campaign team and supporters for the impending victory.
"I feel good for the people who stood with me and by me," said Freeman, who complimented Asay for running a clean campaign.
"I just wish Roger all the best," Asay said. "I appreciate all the support."
(Pictured: Linda Kochmar, center, with her election night supporters at the Courtyard Marriott.)
According to the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) website, Kochmar raised $143,379 and spent $140,836. Flygare raised $136,506 and spent $126,160. Asay raised $156,785 and spent $132,028. Freeman raised $107,305 and spent $102,228.

THE next generation of sporting stars were inspired by Olympians David Murdoch and Scott Andrews this week.
The silver medal-winning winter Olympic stars paid a visit to Chiseldon Primary School on Thursday to motivate and inspire the pupils to get active.
David and Scott were part of Britain's team which got to the curling final at Sochi, in Russia, during this year's competition before losing to Canada. The pair posed for pictures, let pupils wear their medals and took part in a question and answer session.
During their visit, the pair also joined the children in playing new age kurling. Headteacher Spencer Allen said: "We all had an amazing day, the idea was to inspire the children to have goals and work towards them like David and Scott have. "The big difference between curling and new age kurling was that it isn't on ice. We all had a go and it was a lot of fun, with our Year 1's performing the best. "The school did quite a lot during Sochi and we kept up with Team GB so it was a thrill for the children to meet some of the athletes in person."
Spencer said that he hopes the visit will encourage his pupils to set their own sporting aspirations. He said: "I think it is important for the children of this country, not just our school, to develop a passion and competitive edge for sport. "Here we are also teaching them about losing and that taking part isn't all about winning as it is vital that we learn from those experiences as they'll benefit us in the future. "It was nice to hear how Scott and David got into sport and the hurdles they've had to face along the way."
"They really engaged with the visit, taking the time to get involved with the activities. The atmosphere at the school was amazing,and the visit surpassed our expectations."

Yost credits pitchers with limiting KC's April skids
KANSAS CITY -- Right fielder Jeff Francoeur was ready with a stat when the Royals' first month ended.
"The most games we've lost in a row is two. When you can have that all year long, it's a huge help," Francoeur said.
Indeed, the Royals have not lost more than two games in a row so far this season. A year ago at this time, they could already look back on a 12-game skid.
This year they lost two straight against the White Sox to start the season and later dropped back-to-back games to Toronto and Cleveland at home.
"The biggest difference is pitching," manager Ned Yost said. "I'm not saying we're never going to have a three-game losing streak or a four-game losing streak, but starting pitching stops all that, and it minimizes that. With the starting pitchers we have, and we've said it all along, we don't anticipate any long losing streaks, because we've got somebody good every single day that's going to step on that mound and put an end to it."
So far, Jeremy Guthrie, Ervin Santana and James Shields have made outstanding starts to end the two-game slides.

CHIEF executive Will Brown insists Gloucestershire have not given up hope of keeping Will Gidman despite Durham emerging as favourites to secure his signature.
The all-rounder is thought to be attracting the interest of several counties with his contract expiring at the end of the season and could be tempted away by the chance to play in Division One of the County Championship.
The Gazette understands that Gidman would favour a move north to be closer to his wife's family and that Durham are keen on re-signing the player who left them to join Gloucestershire four years ago.
Yorkshire were also alerted by the 29-year-old's possible availability but their interest appears to have cooled, leaving Durham at the front of the queue.
Brown was unable to confirm whether there have been any 28-day approaches for Gidman, which would allow him to talk to other counties, but is working hard to keep key players at the club with captain Michael Klinger also out of contract at the end of the season.
"We're going through an appraisal process with all players at the moment," Brown told the Gazette.
"There are lots of players we'd love to keep and we'll do our utmost to keep Will.
Gidman's remarkable statistics show why he has become one of the hottest properties in county cricket.
In 55 first class matches he has amassed 2,637 runs at an average of 38.77 and taken 194 wickets at 21.86 apiece.
Gidman became only the seventh player of all-time to achieve the unique double of scoring 1,000 runs and claiming 50 wickets in a County Championship season in 2011, having only made one first-class appearance in his previous four years at Durham.
Despite this and claims from team-mates such as Klinger and Hamish Marshall that he should be playing international cricket, Gidman continues to be ignored by England, who rarely call players up from Division Two clubs, and Gloucestershire's promotion hopes appear to be over this season.
Brown was more bullish about Gloucestershire's hopes of holding onto Australian Klinger, who is still weighing up whether it would be viable to spend another season in England with his children starting school next year.
"With Michael it's a case of still talking to him. He's hit a bit of form at the right time and we'd love him to stay," said Brown.
"The conversations with him will be really positive and we'll make sure we have a long chat with his family.
"If he comes back to the UK we hope he comes back to Gloucestershire. We hope and think that's the case.
"We're positive about our future with him and we're giving him time and space to make the right decision.
"The reality is with all players there is so much more to their lives than cricket, especially those with families.
"They have to consider schooling and being nearer the wider family. In cricket more than any other sport it is more prevalent because they don't get anywhere near the sums of football or rugby players."
David Payne, Graeme McCarter and Tom Shrewsbury are also out of contract at the end of the season.

Reports Offer Guidance on Toy Safety
The Illinois Public Interest Research Group is urging parents to be informed as they buy toys for their children this holiday season. The organization released its 25th Trouble In Toyland report this week.
Emily Mueller of Illinois PIRG said the report uses multiple factors to identify harmful toys.
"These are toys that either we've identified as a choking hazard --- while they may meet the legal limit, children are still chocking on them that's very dangerous," Mueller said. "Also there are toys that contain lead and phthalates which are all toxic chemicals that can have adverse health effects on children."
Dr. John Haffner is with the Children's Hospital Of Illinois, housed at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria. He said parents should use common sense when buying toys this season.
"And if they look like they're maybe going to break very easily, and they might have a lot of small parts, those are something that's not suitable for small children," Haffner said. "If it looks like a discount toy or a "no-name" toy, be careful with those, because those have been linked with more reports of lead paint and shoddy workmanship".
Illinois PIRG said people can access the Trouble in Toyland report on its Web site. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan also released her 2010 Play-It-Safe shopping guide that lists toys, cribs and other products recalled this year. The guide is available at the attorney general's Web site. Madigan also said people can register for automatic e-mail notifications for recalled products at cpsc.gov.

TUSCALOOSA _ Although Ole Miss may have a new official mascot, the University of Alabama knows a few things about bears.
Saturday night was the kind of game the namesake coach of the program probably would have enjoyed, especially considering what it lacked in excitement. Playing trademark Crimson Tide football at Bryant-Denny Stadium, with the defense leading the way, Alabama simply smothered Ole Miss for a dominating 23-10 victory.
Think of it as like a giant bear hug, squeezing the life out of the opposition.
"The goal of this game was for us to get back to playing with the kind of effort, the kind of toughness, and the discipline, execution and intensity that you need to play with to play winning football," Coach Nick Saban said. "We probably hit on the toughness part; I was pleased with that. I thought we tackled better on defense and played on the line of scrimmage better. We did a better job all the way around.
"I thought we gave a much better effort in this game. Guys really played hard, and I'm really proud of that. The intensity was good. The execution was not what it needs to be, and that's something we can to improve on."
Or, as senior tight end Preston Dial put it: "We had some positive and negatives.
"I'm really proud of the defense."
The first two possessions were pretty reflective of the whole game. After taking the opening kickoff, Ole Miss gained a single yard and punted.
Meanwhile, the No. 8 Crimson Tide (6-1 overall, 3-1 SEC) took advantage of great field position and grinded out 46 yards in 11 plays with Dial catching a 7-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Greg McElroy.
From there, the lead only grew as the Rebels were rendered lifeless. For most of the first half Alabama had more yards in penalties, 30, than Ole Miss' offense could muster, but barely as the Rebels went into the break with just 41. Yet the score was only 16-3, due to a Marquis Maze fumble while returning a punt deep in Alabama territory, to go with just two first downs and 0-for-8 on third-down conversions.
But Alabama wasn't able to take advantage of numerous situations, settling for three field goals, and the offense seemed to struggle without junior wide receiver Julio Jones. Less than a week after having surgery on his broken hand he played the first quarter, but was pulled after aggravating it.
The ground attack didn't fare much better.
"We've actually struggled against these guys for three years in a row offensively," Saban said. "They pretty much take the run away from you and make it difficult to run. You have got to execute in the passing game. At times we did, and at times we didn't."
Junior running back Mark Ingram had another modest night, 60 rushing yards on 15 carries, and Trent Richardson had a comparable 45 yards on 11 carries, but the sophomore had the big play of the night midway through in the third quarter. On third-and-13 the Tide lined up three receivers in a bunch formation on the right side only to have McElroy toss a quick screen to him on the left. After running through redshirt freshman cornerback Charles Sawyer's arm-tackle, Richardson won the footrace to the end zone for the 85-yard clinching touchdown.
"We kept trying to run the ball, trying to set them up," Richardson said. "It was obvious it was going happen."
Ole Miss (3-3, 1-2 SEC) finally did reach the end zone on a 15-yard touchdown reception by Melvin Harris, but the game's outcome was really never in doubt. Alabama never trailed, had an advantage in all of the major statistics and returned to its winning ways.
Which was the real goal Saturday night ... with the added bonus of some big hits like the one provided by Alex Watkins to lay out two Rebels during a 37-yard Maze punt return to set up a field goal.
"It was a tough loss against South Carolina, but we kind of used that as motivation and inspiration during the week," sophomore linebacker Dont'a Hightower said. "Everyone kind of took a different role and a lot of guys stepped up as leaders.
"There was a difference in practice. I don't think we practiced that way all year."

USA seemed to arrive late on the international scene, with their focus primarily on other sports. Over the past decade or two they've started to improve rapidly, showing they can one day be a force on the international stage. From legends like Brad Friedel, to Clint Dempsey, the fans have had talents to idolize, but they're waiting for a top talent to take them one step further, like they expected Freddy Adu to do, but that never panned out. Within the near future it looks very likely that USA will become a dominant international soccer team. For now it's Dempsey on the back of their soccer jerseys.

text: West Virginians get in on Powerball mania By Megan Workman November 27, 2012 Story Share Kenny Kemp Foodland employee Ina McKenzie, who bought her first Powerball ticket in seven years Tuesday, sells a ticket to Mike Sankoff, who purchased a total of 10 tickets. The Powerball jackpot soared to $500 million Tuesday, the largest Powerball jackpot in history. The drawing is Wednesday at 10:59 p.m. Kenny Kemp Charles Black, of Charleston, said he would try to get his business up and running, pay off some bills and "keep it quiet" from others if he won the $500 million Powerball jackpot. Black bought three tickets on Tuesday. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For the first time in seven years, Foodland employee Ina McKenzie bought a Powerball ticket Tuesday to test her luck at a chance for $500 million, the largest Powerball jackpot in history.McKenzie is no stranger to the lottery tickets. She sells them daily to customers, especially on this Tuesday.The day before Wednesday's big drawing, McKenzie said she was "very busy" selling $2 Powerball tickets.By 4 p.m. Tuesday, Powerball sales in West Virginia reached $385,000 for the day, which is much higher than normal, said Randy Burnside, a spokesman for the West Virginia Lottery.Since the Powerball's last drawing on Saturday, sales in the state topped $1 million alone that day - ticket sales have surged to $930,000. That does not include the rest of Tuesday's sales, Burnside said.Burnside said he "wouldn't be shocked" if West Virginia's Powerball sales reached $1 million Wednesday alone. "For 15 consecutive draws, no one has hit that lucky number. That's how a half-a-billion-dollar jackpot happens. It's a game of chance," Burnside said. "You have a chance at an unbelievable amount of money that could make a difference and I think people like to dream."McKenzie said if she won the jackpot, she would pay off her mother's home, pay off her own house, set up trust funds for her children and buy a new car, since the one she owns is in the shop for a new transmission.For the customers who handed her a couple dollar bills throughout the morning, McKenzie said most people "don't understand how anyone would need that much money," but said they "would give the money to help others and pay off all of their bills."Mike Sankoff, of Charleston, said he plays the lottery regularly. After he purchased his 10 Powerball tickets from McKenzie, Sankoff slipped them into a plastic protective sleeve and placed it in his pocket.Sankoff couldn't use the $327 million cash option all for himself. Instead, he would donate the money and distribute it among his family members, he said.The odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 175 million, Burnside said. But that isn't stopping people from trying to buy the lucky ticket."When you have an increase, like today's $500 million, that means sales are exceeding what the Multi-State Lottery Association thought they would be," Burnside said. "A lot of people are buying tickets nationwide."The fact that Powerball tickets doubled in price in January -- an increase from $1 to $2 -- "revamped the game," he said. Players said they wanted the Powerball game to "drive jackpots," Burnside said. Now, when the Powerball jackpot is reset, the winnings will start at $40 million instead of the previous $20 million, he said.Paying that extra dollar now gives winners who match five numbers a reward of at least $1 million, he said."That extra dollar goes into the price structure. It creates more millionaires in this game," Burnside said. "We've been fortunate in West Virginia. In the last 12 months we've had five millionaires created from the Mega Millions and Powerball."Charles Black, of Charleston, didn't care what his numbers were Tuesday. He had a computer pick the numbers on each of the three tickets he bought in Sissonville, South Charleston and Charleston."It's so high I might as well try," said Black, who had just bought his third ticket at the Go-Mart on Bigley Avenue. "It's never been this high before, so I might as well throw a couple dollars away and see what happens."And if ticket buyers don't have the jackpot-winning ticket, Burnside encourages them not to forget about their ticket. "Just because you don't match all six numbers doesn't mean you're not a winner. Make sure you check your tickets," Burnside said. "Eventually someone is going to win."The last person to win the Powerball jackpot in West Virginia was Randy Smith, of Martinsburg, who took the cash option of $44 million of the $79 million total jackpot on Aug. 23, 2010.In all, eight winners in the state have won the Powerball jackpot, Burnside said.At a Lottery Commission meeting Tuesday, marketing director Nikki Orcutt touted the record jackpot. She noted that West Virginia players have won eight Powerball jackpots, including two of the top 10 record jackpots: Jack Whittaker won the now-sixth largest jackpot of $314.9 million in 2002, while a group of employees in the Monongalia County Tax Office shared the 10th largest jackpot of $276.3 million in 2008.The Powerball jackpot drawing is at 10:59 p.m. Wednesday.If there isn't a winner Wednesday, Burnside said the jackpot would roll over into Saturday's drawing. It would likely eclipse the $656 million Mega Millions jackpot from March, the largest jackpot in history, Burnside said.Staff writer Phil Kabler contributed.Reach Megan Workman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5113 Story Share Story Share Trending Now 1 Facebook founder visits Charleston restaurant 2 Gazette editorial: Capito has second chance to do the right thing 3 Rod Run and Doo Wop brings classic cars, music to Boulevard for 12th year 4 Former State Police captain now chief in Winfield 5 Parole hearing set for Putnam man who claims wrongful sex assault conviction Salem juvenile facility might be shut down Previous Story Bus tour day-trips to Greenbrier to continue Next Story


text: That lengthy football signing list that BYU announced in February has another addition. JCFootball.com reported Thursday that the Cougars have received a commitment from Robertson Daniel, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound defensive back from De Anza Community College in Cupertino, Calif. Cupertino, of course, is the birthplace of Apple Computers. Robertson Daniel (those of us with first names for last names and vice versa know his pain) played two years for De Anza and had 90 tackles and six interceptions. He earned first-team juco All-America honors after the 2011 season. He sat out last year to clear up some academic issues. BYU can't announce the addition until it receives Daniel's letter of intent, which is supposedly due on Friday. The website said Daniel has two years to play two at BYU and will join the Cougars after finishing up some academic work in May.BYU has released a few more details about Saturday's Blue-White Game at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Gates open at 10 a.m. and the team will begin warmup drills at 11 a.m. The game itself is expected to begin around 11:20 a.m. Admission is free. The first-team offense will compete against the first-team defense, and vice versa, which is different than most spring games where coaches generally keep No. 1s from going against No. 1s.

LifeWraps: Low-tech First Aid for Obstetric Hemorrhage

Non-inflatable anti-shock garment (NASG)
Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, which is why it is not surprising when innovations addressing the scarcity of health care resources in other parts of the world can be useful elsewhere. Two notable examples are the Gaskin Maneuver for handling shoulder dystocia, which Ina May Gaskin brought back from Central America, and kangaroo care, which was pioneered in Colombia to alleviate the shortage of incubators for premature and low-weight babies. (New research from Brazil is finding kangaroo care superior to incubators, but that is another story.)
An American midwife has adapted a piece of first aid equipment with a history spanning more than a century to save the lives of mothers facing the most serious of complications: obstetric hemorrhage. Professor Suellen Miller, a name some midwives may recognize as co-author of A Book for Midwives, started practicing midwifery in the United States in 1974. She entered the international arena 13 years later and has spent nearly three decades striving, as she describes it, "to improve maternal health in villages and primary care centers around the world that do not have access to sophisticated care."
Miller, based in the United States (with frequent trips abroad), founded and heads up the Safe Motherhood Program at the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, located at the University of California, San Francisco. Her promising innovation is expanding the use of a type of "non-inflatable anti-shock garment" (NASG) from use in tertiary care facilities to the community level, where it is used specifically to stabilize and transport hemorrhaging women, often over long distances, to health care facilities. The suit has been found to be effective for up to 48 hours and can mean the difference between life and death for women who might otherwise bleed to death in as little as two hours.
The NASG is a seven-section neoprene lower-body suit that works by constriction to force blood back into the vital organs, especially the heart, brain and lungs, reducing blood loss and maintaining blood pressure. With proper cleaning and storage, it can be used up to 40 times. The NASG is designed so that all obstetric procedures, from uterine massage to vaginal surgery, can be performed without removing the suit. Observational studies describe near-miraculous recoveries, telling of women, who arrive at the emergency room without an audible pulse or detectable blood pressure, opening their eyes and talking shortly after the suit was applied, sometimes while being wheeled into the operating room.
If midwives in the United States who specialize in home deliveries or who practice in rural areas want to add one of the garments to their "bag of tricks," they are available online for about $300 from retailers under the brand name NIASG.
Earlier Versions and Their Uses
The NASG has a long and interesting history. It was first developed as a full-body inflatable suit in the 1900s to maintain blood pressure during surgery. In the 1940s, it was modified to be an anti-gravity device or "g-suit" to keep high-altitude pilots from blacking out. The suit was further refined for use in the Vietnam War to stabilize and transport soldiers with traumatic injuries. By the 1970s, it was literally cut in half for use by emergency medical technicians (EMTs) attending victims with lower-body injuries, but fell out of use in urban areas where emergency rooms were in close proximity from any point. A non-inflatable version was developed at NASA Ames Research Center specifically for hemophiliac children.
In 2002, Miller read a case series about the use of NASGs by Dr. Paul Hensleigh in a Pakastani hospital. When she read how Hensleigh used it to stabilize hemorrhaging mothers until blood transfusions and other life-saving measures could be taken, Miller had her "Aha!" moment. Her background in maternity care in low-resource areas made her keenly aware of the number of mothers who die before they get to a hospital. One woman is estimated to die every two minutes of pregnancy-related causes—over 30% of which are attributed to obstetric hemorrhage. Ninety-nine percent of those deaths occur in developing countries, which is one of the reasons that improving maternal health is among the eight Millennium Development Goals adopted by the United Nations, which is racing to reduce maternal mortality by three-quarters by 2015.
When Miller read about NASGs in Pakistan, she immediately envisioned how useful they would be to transport women hemorrhaging at home or primary health care centers to hospitals. She then started designing and implementing studies that could determine whether it qualifies to be added to the World Health Organization's (WHO) list of approved medical devices, opening up funding opportunities for supplying these garments to areas where they are most needed.
Asked how soon this might happen, Miller estimates that it will take about a year and a half to finish gathering data from the randomized cluster trials that are currently underway in Zambia and Zimbabwe. If the results are positive, she hopes that it will be "fast-tracked" onto the WHO list and become widely available. Her work has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, which is on record for hailing the project as potentially "a very simple solution to a seemingly intractable problem."
It takes only about five minutes to teach anyone—and Miller stresses the word anyone, "even if they are not literate, even if there is a language barrier"—to secure a woman in an NASG, which her non-profit organization calls a "LifeWrap." Removing the suit, which is held in place by Velcro, is another matter, as it is critical that first the cause of the hemorrhage has been correctly identified and addressed. Miller and her team spend about half a day training health practitioners to conduct examinations and treat patients with the suit in place, as well as how and when to remove it. Instructional videos of both applying and removing NASGs are available on YouTube and at www.lifewraps.org.
Miller, who is simultaneously managing other projects to improve global maternity care, is understandably excited about how LifeWraps could become a game-changer. Although they do not save every life, every life they do save helps families and—in the wider view—entire communities be part of a brighter future when even the neediest among us have access to the best possible medical care.
Reflecting upon the time since she first realized what LifeWraps could do, Miller says, "To me, it is horrific and a tragedy that women in poor countries die because of lack of access to adequate health care. This garment levels the field, making it possible for these women to survive. Being involved in this project is the most meaningful thing I have ever done."

SAN BERNARDINO — Caltrans is planning to close lanes of the north- and southbound 215 Freeway in San Bernardino this week so workers can open new sections of the 215.
The southbound 215 between Mt. Vernon Avenue and Fifth Street will close from 8 p.m. Wednesday to 4 a.m. Thursday. Northbound lanes in the same area will close 8 p.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday, officials said.
The closures will allow workers to shift traffic onto the reconfigured south- and northbound 215 and the new 259 Freeway connector to the 215.
The transition for northbound drivers to the 259 will shift from the left to the right side of the freeway after the closures.
Motorists heading south during the closure may exit at Mt. Vernon, turn right, head south and turn left on Fifth Street. For southbound 259 travel, exit Highland Avenue, turn left and then turn right on H Street. Head south to Fifth Street.
Drivers heading north can exit at Fifth Street, turn left and then turn right on Mt. Vernon. Turn right on Mt. Vernon and head north to re-enter the 215. Motorists on the northbound 259 may exit Fifth Street, turn left and then turn right on Mt. Vernon. Turn right on Highland to access the northbound 259.

An Israeli director/screenwriter/producer, Savi sat back and savored the triumphs as his film about an Israeli youngster's emotional and sexual coming-of-age saga swept the equivalent of 11 Israeli Academy Awards.
"Nina's Tragedies" is now on screen at the Ritz 16 in Voorhees, N.J.
"Her 'Tragedies' are my happiness," kibitzes the savvy filmmaker, who also teaches screenwriting at his alma mater, Tel Aviv University.
This film, Gabizon's third, is telling in what it says about emotional complexities, examining not just the young boy's evolution into manhood but his visceral tangle of love and lust for his Aunt Nina, whose husband has been killed by terrorists.
If the filmmaker succeeds at stripping away a victim's veneer, then maybe it's because he believes his stories should bare all to be bearable. "Every writer has two sides to him – two characters – the voyeur and the nudist," says Gabizon.
Peeping … Savi? In a way, he says. "When you pick up a phone and hear a conversation on it … if you hang up, you're polite." And if you continue to listen? "You're a writer," he purports.
The write stuff he's got: "Shuroo" and "Lovesick on Nana Street," his first two features before "Nina's Tragedies," were triumphs, too, garnering 15 Israeli Academy Awards between them.
Is it impolitic for an Israeli director these days not to make political films, such as Gabizon is doing? "I prefer to deal with human souls," he says. "When you deal with the political situations, you are pushed to the place where there are no nuances."
New to the American film scene, Gabizon wouldn't mind going Hollywood, taking his talents for a swing along Hollywood and Vine.
After all, there aren't too many filmmakers around so adept at writing women's parts. He laughs. "I don't write women. I write myself. Maybe I have some woman hidden inside me."
No hidden talent here; Gabizon is a find to treasure. As for shifting from Hebrew to English in trying to create a dialogue with American audiences, Gabizon claims he won't have a problem.
"The languages are the same," he says. "Both are from the heart."

Fields has good decision making? Do you watch Knicks games?
The combination of Douglas, Baron, and Laundry make for some of the most boneheaded, frustrating turnovers I've seen all season. For someone who is rarely given the responsibility of handling the ball, Landry is godawful with his passing, dribbling and finishing in the lane.

Cano Wins Home Run Derby
New York Yankee Robinson Cano outslugged Boston Red Sox Adrian Gonzalez by a single home run in the final round of the HR Derby Monay night. Cano knocked 12 out the park, one more than Gonzalez. Other participants included Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks of the Milwaukee Brewers, Matt Holliday of the St. Louis Cardinals, Matt Kemp of the LA Dodgers, David Ortiz of the Red Sox, and Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays. Perhaps the most memorable moment of the HR derby was a scary one, when a fan reached over the stands for a fly ball.

Christopher Lloyd to Lead Classic Stage Company's CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE; Previews Begin 5/2
Classic Stage Company, under the leadership of Artistic Director Brian Kulick and Executive Director Greg Reiner, announced today that acclaimed film and television actor Christopher Lloyd, will star as Azdak in the company's upcoming spring production of Bertolt Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle, to be directed by Brian Kulick (who directed Brecht's Galileo last season), and featuring new music by Tony Award-winning singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik, featuring translation by James and Tania Stern with lyrics by W.H. Auden. The Caucasian Chalk Circle will begin performances Thursday, May 2 at CSC (136 East 13th Street) for a limited engagement. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, April 2.
Christopher Lloyd began his career in theatre. He has appeared in over two hundred plays including on and off Broadway, regional and summer stock productions. For his title role in Kaspar he took home an Obie and Drama Desk award. Christopher starred in the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Morning's at Seven, directed by Daniel Sullivan, as well as Twelfth Night in NY Festival's Shakespeare in the Park and Center Stage's Waiting for Godot, and as Dalton Trumbo in the New York production of Trumbo. In 1975 Lloyd began his film career in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. This was soon followed by a two-year run as Jim Ignatowski on the television series Taxi, for which Lloyd won two of his three Emmys. In 1992 Lloyd made Emmy history when he won Best Dramatic Actor for Disney's Road to Avonlea. In a category dominated by series regulars, Lloyd was the first actor to win for a guest appearance. The following year, the rules were changed to include a Guest Appearance category. Lloyd has appeared in over ninety film and teleVision Productions, including the Back to the Future trilogy, Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead, Eight Men Out, Addams Family and Addams Family Values, BBC's Dead Ahead: Exxon Valdez Disaster, The Pagemaster, Dennis the Menace, Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Track 29, Clue, The Dream Team, Angels in the Outfield, Star Trek III, Goin' South, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, My Favorite Martian, Tales of Despereaux, Snowmen and Mike Nichols' HBO adaptation of Wit, starring Emma Thompson. Lloyd won an Independent Spirit Award for his chilly depiction as a soulless murderer in Twenty Bucks.
CSC recently presented Anton Chekhov's IVANOV, starring Ethan Hawke, Joely Richardson and Juliet Rylance, directed by Austin Pendleton. CSC's season continues in February with Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Tony Award-winning Best Musical PASSION, featuring Melissa Errico, Judy Kuhn and Ryan Silverman, and directed by Tony Award-winner John Doyle, who has won acclaim for his revelatory reinterpretations of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd and Company. Additional casting will be announced. (Doyle's directorial concept for PASSION will not include musical instruments played by actors.)

Murray Abraham, directed by Brian Kulick; and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream with Bebe Neuwirth and Christina Ricci, directed by Tony Speciale. Past seasons have included critically-acclaimed productions of Chekhov's Three Sisters with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jessica Hecht, Juliet Rylance and Peter Sarsgaard, directed by Austin Pendleton (Obie Award); David Ives' The School for Lies with Hamish Linklater (Obie Award), directed by Walter Bobbie; Unnatural Acts, conceived and directed by Tony Speciale; Ostrovsky's The Forest with Dianne Wiest and John Douglas Thompson, directed by Brian Kulick; David Ives' Venus In Fur with Nina Arianda and Wes Bentley, directed by Walter Bobbie; Shakespeare's The Tempest with Mandy Patinkin, directed by Brian Kulick; Chekhov's Uncle Vanya with Denis O'Hare, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, directed by Austin Pendleton; Anne Carson's An Oresteia (International PEN Award for Poetry); Chekhov's The Seagull with Dianne Wiest and Alan Cumming; David Ives' New Jerusalem with Richard Easton, directed by Walter Bobbie; Hamlet, Richard II, Richard III with Michael Cumpsty (Obie Award as Hamlet), directed by Brian Kulick; and Yasmina Reza's A Spanish Play with Zoe Caldwell, directed by John Turturro.

Topic: About Radioembolization Consultation from Northwestern in Chicago
Hi, everyone,
I raised the question about most patients can only have radioembo twice ; Karen Marshall RN from the interventional radiology of Northwestern University where radioembolization is pioneered told me that it is not true. she give me an example of a patient who had liver resection and subsequently had 7 (seven) radioembolization for treatment. They are very familiar using radioembo to treat CCA patients.
She is very knowledgeable and very patient and in details in answering my questions. I will recommend you to contact her if you need radioembo consultation; most likely you need to send CT disc and CA19-9 results for them to be evaluated. If I were you, I will write down or email to her just 1 or 2 questions that you need to ask the MOST(not all of them) with regard to your specific concern, so you will get the most out of the consultation.They will tell you if you need any treatment or not; in my case. they told me no treatment and send CT scan in three months if need another full consultation.
Her phone number is 312-695-1791
God bless.

Duke forward Mike Gbinije, who saw limited playing time as a freshman, will transfer, the school announced Monday.
"We wish Michael the best of luck and we will support him through his impending transfer," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement. "He is a talented player with a solid future ahead of him."
On Sunday, the Devilsillustrated.com website mentioned Georgetown and Villanova as possible landing spots for Gbinije.
He arrived at Duke as part of one of the top recruiting classes in the country. The class also included Austin Rivers, Quinn Cook, Austin Murphy and Marshall Plumlee. Rivers is entering the draft, leaving just Cook, Murphy and Plumlee from that heralded group.
Gbinije arrived in Durham as a four-star recruit from Benedictine College Prep in Richmond, Va. But he played in only 19 of the Blue Devils' 34 games, averaging 5.8 minutes, 1.7 points and 0.8 rebounds per game. He was one of two Duke players who didn't start a game during the season, the Herald-Sun reported.
After playing 10 or more minutes in six of Duke's early nonconference games, his playing time dropped once ACC competition began.
