I Live in Stroudsburg, PA and we have LTE for Verizon here, why does't Verizon say there is coverage here?

Texas Deploys Gunboats to Patrol Rio Grande
Even as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is instructing U.S. Border Patrol agents to run away from violent criminals, the Lone Star State is preparing to meet force with force. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has announced that it is deploying two gunboats armed with machine guns to patrol the waters of the Rio Grande to stop Mexican cartel thugs from running drugs across the border.
A news article for the KSAT-San Antonio website ("DPS gunboats prepare to patrol border waters") reports that Texas law enforcement has created a new "Tactical Marine Unit" to cope with the strategies of Mexican drug runners.
Egyptian President Calls for Terrorist's Release
Newly-elected Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi shocked the Obama administration with a call for the release of the release of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the terrorist associated with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Mexican Presidential Election — Choosing the Lesser Evil
While Americans are embroiled in discussions of the various implications of this year's presidential contest, very few of them are weighing the significance of a presidential election that will take place tomorrow just across the southern border of these United States. The candidates of three major parties are vying for the presidency of Mexico, and no matter which candidate wins, he — or she — will face the task of rebuilding a nation devastated by years of war and economic crisis.
Court: Egyptian Military May Not Make Arrests
With the ascension of the Muslim Brotherhood to power and relinquishing of power by the military, Egypt's military will no longer be able to arrest protesters, but critics wonder whether the Brotherhood can be trusted with its newly acquired power.
Cartel Violence Kills Three in Mexico City Airport
Conditions in Mexico continue to demonstrate that almost no form of violent criminal activity is impossible in that failed state. Although the violent conflict between the Mexican government and the drug cartels has continued unabated, it has become increasingly rare for the American media to report on the conflict. The Mexican "drug war" began with President Felipe Calderon's declaration of war in December 2006. But as that so-called war continues to drag on, the hopes which were expressed nearly six years ago for a quick victory have proven to be ephemeral.
Islamist Wins Presidency of Egypt
After 16 months of conspiracy theories directed against the Egyptian military predicting that the "democratic process" would be subverted to keep allies of former President Hosni Mubarak in power, the commission overseeing that nation's presidential election has declared Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi the victor.
A Review of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "Apricot Jam"
In the years since his return to Russia in 1994 and especially since his death in 2008, the literary legacy of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn has been an uncertain thing — at least in the English-speaking world. On the one hand, the work which he considered to be his magnum opus, the Red Wheel series of historical works chronicling the history of the Bolshevik revolution, has apparently ground to a halt: only the first two "knots" have been published in an English edition, and it seems unlikely at present that the rest of the work will be so published for the foreseeable future. However, established works such as the Gulag Archipelago, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and The First Circle have continued to draw interest, and even new, improved translations.
The most recent addition to Solzhenitsyn's English literary legacy is a collection of experimental short stories entitled Apricot Jam and Other Stories. The volume has been met with mixed reviews — an unsurprising development, given the experimental character of the stories in question. Some readers may come to a new collection of stories by a Nobel-Prize-winning author imagining that they knew in advance what they would find, only to discover that even in his later years, that author had not given up his willingness to experiment with new forms.
Egyptian Election Chaos Feeds on Lack of Trust
With both candidates in the Egyptian presidential election claiming victory, while the commission overseeing the elections delays releasing the results, Egypt faces the possibility of further revolutionary chaos.
Low Voter Turnout as Egypt Chooses a New President
Approximately 18 months after the "Arab Spring" uprising began in Egypt, the final outcome of the rebellion that ended the reign of President Hosni Mubarak remains to be seen. With press reports of a small turnout in Egypt's runoff presidential elections that are intended to pick the successor of a man who led his nation for three decades, it is possible that the nation's electorate may be choosing "none of the above."
Egyptians Brace for Results of Weekend's Runoff Presidential Elections
As Egyptians await word of the outcome of the the weekend's runnoff elections for a new president for their nation, the fate of the Egypt seems more uncertain than at any time since the "Arab Spring." Only months ago, the Muslim Brotherhood had allegedly been plotting to export their Islamist revolution to neighboring countries. Now, a panel of judges has dissolved the new parliament, and is permitting Egypt's former prime minister to run for President.

New Exhibit In Philadelphia Explores Chagall's Artistic Legacy
Filed under: Art
A new exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia explores the legacy of Marc Chagall and his artist compatriots. "Paris Through the Window: Marc Chagall and His Circle" runs from March 1 to July 10 and focuses on the work of Chagall and others in Paris in the early 1900s.
Chagall arrived in Paris in 1911 and was immersed in the artistic styles flowering in Paris at this time. He worked at La Ruche, a beehive-like building that was home to a variety of artists' studios. French sculptor Alfred Boucher opened the building in 1902 offering inexpensive space and free models for talented artists. It blossomed into a vibrant community for artists to exhibit work and share ideas. When Chagall joined La Ruche it already had many Eastern European artists who had also moved to Paris to discover firsthand the most recent trends in modern art. Other artists there in the 1910s included Archipenko, Kisling, Lipchitz, Soutine, and Zadkine, who were represented in the exhibition by two sculptures in cedar wood that have not been displayed at the Museum since 1963. Shown above is Chagall's "Paris Through The Window" which was painted in 1913. The exhibit seeks to capture the atmosphere of artistic excitement in Paris at this time and also explores a bit of history, looking back to at Chagall's return to Russia during World War I and the rise of the Russian Revolution and his second stay in Paris in the 1920s.
The museum website has a series of podcasts devoted to the exhibit which offer a comprehensive roadmap to all that is going on in a Chagall painting. For example, in the painting shown above, the artist's double-faced self-portrait in the lower right hand corner is a representation of the two sides of his spirit, looking back toward his homeland but also forward toward Paris, Cubism and a world of changing ideas and ideals.

What is bosentan?
Bosentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 patients to improve exercise ability and decrease clinical worsening. Studies establishing effectiveness included predominantly patients with WHO Functional Class II-IV symptoms and etiologies of idiopathic or heritable PAH (60%), PAH associated with connective tissue diseases (21%) and PAH associated with congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts (18%).
Bosentan is an oral medication and was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001.
How does bosentan work?
Bosentan works by blocking the effects of a substance called endothelin, which is made by the body in increased amounts in patients with PAH. Endothelin causes blood vessels to narrow (constrict). It also causes overgrowth of the muscle in the walls of the blood vessels in the lungs. By blocking the action of endothelin, bosentan can lead to a reduction in the blood pressure in the lungs and to improvement in activity level and well being.
Short-term randomized studies demonstrate bosentan improves both exercise capacity and sense of well being. Long-term open label trials of the drug showed sustained benefit in exercise capacity.
One study demonstrated that bosentan improved hemodynamics and delayed time to clinical worsening in NYHA functional class II patients; however, six-minute walk distance was not significantly better.
In a small study of patients with congenital heart disease with Eisenmenger syndrome (right to left shunting), bosentan demonstrated improved 6 minute walk distance and hemodynamics such as pulmonary vascular resistance.
How is bosentan given?
Bosentan is a pill that is taken orally twice a day with or without food. The initial dose for most patients is 62.5 mg twice a day. If there are no problems or side effects after one month, the dose is increased to 125 mg twice a day, which is the FDA approved dose.
In patients over age 12 but with low body weight (less than 40 kg), the recommended dose is 62.5 mg twice daily.
How is bosentan supplied?
62.5 (round) and 125 (oval) mg, film-coated, biconvex, orange-white tablets.
How do patients obtain bosentan?
Bosentan must be prescribed by a physician and insurance approval must be obtained prior to starting therapy. Once approved by insurance, bosentan is then sent directly to patients by any of the following specialty pharmacies: Accredo Health Inc., Aetna Specialty Pharmacy, CVS Caremark, Cigna Tel-Drug, CuraScript, and Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy (Medmark). Bosentan can only be obtained through the Tracleer® Access Program (T.A.P.).
Will insurance pay for bosentan?
It is expected that most insurance plans will pay for bosentan prescriptions; however, plans with a set co-payment may result in substantial cost to the patient.
Medicaid and most state-run insurance plans will pay for bosentan. Medicare will also cover bosentan in most cases under the part D component of that program.
Actelion PAH Pathways® (866-288-3546) offers a variety of options to cover either partial or full drug costs for any patient with qualifying financial circumstances. Caring Voice Coalition (888-267-1440), an organization that provides grants to assist with drug cost for patients with chronic illnesses, may also provide coverage if the patient qualifies for such assistance.
What are the frequent side effects of bosentan?
Bosentan is generally well tolerated.
The most common side effects compared to placebo (sugar pill) are respiratory tract infections and anemia (low red blood cell count or hemoglobin); however, the decrease in hemoglobin is rarely severe enough to require transfusion.
The major potential side effect of bosentan is damage to the liver. in The development of abnormal liver function tests (LFTs), measured in blood samples to greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal is observed in about 10% of patients receiving this medication.
Fluid retention or swelling is a known side effect of ERAs. In the clinical trials with bosentan, fluid retention was observed slightly more commonly (1.7%) in patients taking bosentan compared to placebo. It is important to notify your doctor if you experience swelling. Treatment may be required including sodium and fluid restriction as well as a diuretic.
Decreases in sperm count have been observed in men taking bosentan.
How are side effects of bosentan monitored?
Because of the potential for damage to the liver, liver function tests must be obtained before initiating therapy and subsequently on a monthly basis as long as a patient is receiving bosentan.
Bosentan should be discontinued if the liver enzymes (hepatic aminotransferases) are accompanied by signs and symptoms of liver dysfunction or injury or by an increased total bilirubin to more than 2 times the upper limit of normal.
Because of the potential harm to the fetus, women of childbearing potential must also have a pregnancy test before initiating therapy and subsequently on a monthly basis as long as a patient is receiving bosentan.
Hematocrit (red blood cell count) should be checked at 1 and 3 months then monitored once every three months thereafter as long as a patient is receiving bosentan.
What are considerations for use of bosentan in special populations?
Use of bosentan is contraindicated in pregnancy. Bosentan has been shown to be harmful to the growing fetus in rats. Patients should not become pregnant while taking bosentan; therefore, two forms of contraception are recommended in order to be sure to prevent pregnancy. An exception to this recommendation would be for patients who have had a surgical sterilization procedure such as a tubal ligation or for women who use a Copper T380A or LNg 20 intrauterine device (IUD) as a form of contraception. In addition, a pregnancy test prior to the initiation and monthly thereafter while taking bosentan is advised. If a patient becomes pregnant while taking bosentan, she should immediately notify the prescribing physician. It is not known whether bosentan passes into breast milk; therefore, nursing mothers should not take bosentan.
Bosentan has been studied in children and appears to be safe. Nonetheless, the dose may need to be adjusted and should be discussed with the prescribing physician.
Bosentan is not recommended in patients with moderate to severe hepatic (liver) impairment. Use caution with mild liver impairment.
Dose adjustment for bosentan is not required for patients with renal (kidney) impairment.
Could a patient be allergic to bosentan?
This is possible, although such reports are rare.
What are important drug interactions with bosentan?
Bosentan is metabolized by an enzymatic pathway that may result in important drug interactions.
Bosentan may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives given by any route. Hormonal contraceptives should not be used alone for the prevention of pregnancy during treatment with bosentan.
Bosentan should not be used with cyclosporine A or glyburide.
Ritonavir or ritonavir containing combination drugs require a special approach and dose adjustment if used with bosentan. Discontinue bosentan 36 hours prior to initiation of ritonavir. For patients already on ritonavir, initiate bosentan at 62.5 mg daily or every other day.
In patients receiving cholesterol lowering medications, cholesterol levels should be monitored carefully to determine if a dose adjustment is required for the cholesterol medication.
For patients taking rifampin and bosentan, drug levels may be altered. Liver function tests should also be carefully monitored.
Although not studied in humans, caution should be exercised if tacrolimus and bosentan are used together.
Bosentan levels may be increased with co-administration of ketoconazole.
While there are changes in drug levels with co-administration of sildenafil and bosentan, the differences do not appear to be clinically important.

Disposable gizmos vs. high-end audio
You see it every day, a passing parade of new-tech gizmos crowding the market.
From phones to mobile Internet devices, digital cameras, music players, and mini notebooks--and on the home theater side--formats that whither and die just a couple of years after their much ballyhooed introductions. Every day there's more junk.
Most of this glittering assortment of wowie-zowie tech trinkets are destined to take up landfill space in five years or less. That's apparently OK; nobody expects to keep an iPhone all that long, and besides there's always something new, jam-packed with the latest tech to buy. Why would anyone expect to just buy something good enough to use for a decade or more?
Audio is the exception to that mindset. It seems like I've met a gazillion baby boomers still using the hi-fis they bought around the time of the first Woodstock. One Audiophiliac reader bemoaned the fact that his 20-year-old $600 speakers were now beyond repair. He got 20-something years of use out of the speakers--and that's not enough.
When it comes to audio people think it should last forever, though some of the best stuff comes close. For example, the "other" McIntosh, the audio company, still factory services amplifiers built when Nixon was president. Gee, I wonder if Apple would fix your dad's Apple II? … Read more

Ursuline's Brown - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene
VIDEO: Interview with Ursuline's Rachel Brown
Ursuline Academy rower Rachel Brown is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
The senior signed a scholarship last Friday to join Clemson University's crew team next season.
Rachel only picked up the sport a year ago, and says one of her other favorite sports helped her quickly adjust inside of the boat.
"I used to be a ski racer and that gave me a lot of leg strength, and rowing is a lot of legs."
Andrew Madden, rowing coach with the Wilmington Youth Rowing Association, says Rachel does all the small things to succeed.
"A lot of hard work, and lot of showing up every day. A lot of it is general athleticism, a lot of it is also the desire to get yourself to the level where you can be recruited."
Rachel says she wants to study biology at Clemson with the goal of eventually becoming a doctor. She says volunteering at Salem Memorial Hospital in New Jersey helped guide her in that direction.
"I got to visit with the patients and I was alongside with the doctor, and he showed me all sorts of (things) and I really enjoyed doing it."
She said the most memorable part of her experience was helping in the E.R.
"It was the excitement. There's always an adrenaline rush, there's always something new to do."
And Clemson hopes to get a boost of adrenaline from Ursuline's Rachel Brown next year, she is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week. In Wilmington, SG 1150AM WDEL Sports.

Historical Background
When Walt Whitman was born on May 31, 1819, the United States was entering a period of great internal political conflict that would culminate 40 years later with the Civil War. During the first half of the Nineteenth Century, the young nation was growing and expanding its territorial holdings as daring easterners and newly arrived immigrants headed west across the Mississippi River to explore and settle the western frontier. In his poetry, Whitman describes these settlers as intrepid Americans who were inspired by a determined pioneering spirit, a need for raw materials, and even competition with other countries who were also actively acquiring new territory. Following the American Revolution, European nations had lost much of their territory in North America; however, the great European powers continued to broaden their colonial empires, focusing their efforts in Asia and Africa. Americans kept pace on their own continent, and by the end of the century, the wild frontier Whitman celebrates in much of his poetry had drastically changed and had almost disappeared. Whitman's "pioneers" had built settlements, farms, and communities throughout the West, while much of the Native American population was displaced and resettled on government-controlled reservations.
As American writers chronicled the monumental changes in their country, the American Romantic movement began in the 1830s and 1840s. Ralph Waldo Emerson and a group of writers known as the...

Leaves of Grass (Magill Book Reviews)
When Whitman published his first edition, readers were astounded: It had no rhyme or meter, it used the language of contemporary America, and it presented a specific human being speaking of himself in physical as well as spiritual and mental terms. It appalled some readers but refreshed and delighted many others.
The book grew as Whitman grew, through six editions and several annexes that eventually added hundreds of poems to the original twelve. It became, as individual poems such as "Song of Myself" suggest, identified with the poet himself.
Besides depicting an individual man, the collection also depicts a nation, America moving into maturity with the harsh test of the Civil War and the subsequent expansion westward. Whitman writes movingly about the war in the "DRUMTAPS" section, drawing from his experiences in Washington, D.C. as a visitor and nurse to the wounded.
Other poems describe America's natural grandeur and the energy and drama of its people, from prostitute to politician, from pioneer to slave, from Indian to immigrant. Whitman's resonant, rambling lines amply embody the vitality of a growing nation and the unconfined natural world he observed so closely.
Yet his world was not all bright and fair. He could be critical of his country's shortcomings while singing its virtues. He also conveys the pain as well as the joy of love, both emotional and physical, especially in the "CALAMUS"...

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
*Paumanok. Village on Long Island east of New York City where Whitman was born. His early poem "Starting from Paumanok" describes the village as "fish-shaped," indicating its (and his) nautical origins, an idea that he developed in detail in "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking," in which he envisions himself a "little boy again,/ Throwing myself on the sand, confronting the waves." Whitman recalls Paumanok's fragrance as "lilac-scent," its coastline as marked by "Fifth-month grass" and "briers," and its seashore inhabited by "two feather'd guests from Alabama," signaling its fertility and hospitality. Later in the poem, now speaking from an adult's perspective, Whitman cites "Paumanok's gray beach" as the site of his initial and continuing poetic inspiration.
*Brooklyn. City, which is now part of New York City, to which Whitman's family moved when his father began work as a carpenter in 1823. Whitman lived in Brooklyn intermittently through the next three decades. He became editor of a leading local newspaper, The Brooklyn Eagle, in 1846, and formed a habit of walking in the city observing every aspect of urban life. His poem "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" describes people traveling between Brooklyn and Manhattan, using the "heights of Brooklyn to the south and east" and the traffic in the passage between the Hudson and East Rivers as...

Hervias I, Beal MF, Manfredi G. Mitochondrial dysfunction and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Muscle Nerve. 2006 May;33(5):598-608. PubMed Abstract
In my opinion, the answer is no, based on the following considerations:
1. Lino and coworkers (Lino et al., 2002) reported that accumulation of SOD1 mutants in postnatal motor neurons does not cause motor neuron pathology or motor neuron disease.
2. In another work, Pramatarova et al. reported a similar result: "Neuron-specific expression of mutant superoxide dismutase 1 in transgenic mice does not lead to motor impairment" (Pramatarova et al., 2001). The authors concluded that the accumulation of mutant SOD1 in postnatal motor neurons is thus not sufficient and probably also not critical to induce or accelerate motor neuron disease in FALS mice.
3. These studies suggest/propose that mutant SOD1 causes the degeneration of motor neurons by a combination of cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous processes, requiring the presence of mutant SOD1 in both... Read more
3. These studies suggest/propose that mutant SOD1 causes the degeneration of motor neurons by a combination of cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous processes, requiring the presence of mutant SOD1 in both neurons and glia, and raising the question of whether mutant SOD1 expression in neurons is sufficient to induce disease.
4. More recently, another group performed a similar experiment: Jaarsma et al. (Jaarsma et al., 2008) have demonstrated that transgenic mice in which mutant "SOD1 was largely restricted to neurons," under the transcriptional control of Thy1.2 promoter, "developed disease but only at an old age." However, "the disease progressed slowly without reaching the same degree of paralysis compared to the classical animal model of ALS in which the same mutant SOD1 gene is ubiquitously expressed."
So, what is the truth? These studies do not indicate a clear answer, but suggest that the situation is more complicated and the toxicity is not just limited to a single cell type, since in ALS patients and ALS animal models, the mutated toxic form of SOD1 is expressed in several tissues and not just limited to motor neurons.
What About Skeletal Muscle? This issue has been recently investigated by our laboratory, which has demonstrated that muscle-selective expression of SOD1 mutation causes pathological alterations and induces presymptomatic sign of ALS (Dobrowolny et al., 2008). Moreover, other studies support the evidence that skeletal muscle is a primary target of mutant SOD1 toxicity in mice. Wong and Martin have reported that skeletal-muscle-restricted expression of the human mutant SOD1 gene causes motor neuron degeneration in old transgenic mice (Wong and Martin, 2010). Dupuis et al. (Dupuis et al., 2009) have reported that muscle-selective alterations in mitochondrial function might initiate NMJ destruction, which is followed by distal axonopathy, astrocytosis in the spinal cord, and mild motor neuron loss. Moreover, Zhou et al. (Zhou et al., 2010) have reported that alterations in the potential of the mitochondrial inner membrane of fiber segments near NMJs occur in young SOD1G93A mice prior to disease onset. All of the above suggests that skeletal muscle is an important candidate to consider as a primary target of the toxicity that results from mutations in the SOD1 gene.
In the paper by Cleveland and coworkers, the authors reported that sustained mitochondrial biogenesis and muscle function do not extend survival in a mouse model of inherited ALS. The authors concluded: "Our evidence refutes such a conclusion, demonstrating to the contrary that sustained improvement in muscle activity, including a doubling in endurance, increased energy supply from the mitochondria in muscles, and reducing muscle atrophy throughout ALS-like disease does not prevent or delay retraction of the axons from neuromuscular junctions, loss of motor axons, or death of motor neurons."
This is, to me, a bias of the authors.
To my knowledge I do not think that anybody succeeded to cure an ALS mouse model simply by acting on motor neurons, but this does not mean that motor neurons are not primary targets of mutant SOD1 toxicity.
Moreover, several studies demonstrated that the toxicity of mutant SOD1 is associated with severe alterations (at morphological, functional, and molecular levels) of the tissue in which it is expressed, and since the selective expression of mutant SOD1 induces muscle atrophy, muscle mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced muscle strength, muscle damage, and presymptomatic signs of ALS in the spinal cord of MLC/SOD1G93A mice (Dobrowolny et al., 2008), this is sufficient to me to conclude that skeletal muscle is a primary target (not the sole) of SOD1-mediated toxicity.
In addition, the fact that increasing PGC-1α activity in the muscles of SOD1 mutant expressing mice produces significantly increased muscle endurance, reduced atrophy, and improved locomotor activity, even at late stages of disease, suggests that the toxic properties of mutant SOD1 in the muscle can be significantly reduced. Of course, this is not sufficient to extend the survival of the ALS mouse model, because the mutant SOD1 protein is also expressed in the spinal cord of transgenic animals, and this is, in my opinion, sufficient to exert its toxic properties.
Nevertheless, in the paper by Cleveland and coworkers, the authors concluded that "improving muscle activity and reducing atrophy may be effective to improve or preserve daily functioning and quality of life for ALS patients." This is a good starting point to design more appropriate therapeutic strategies to treat ALS patients.
Putting together all of this information, I think:
1. the improvement in muscle mass and function is not sufficient to cure/attenuate significantly the progression of the disease (unless the muscle produces neurotrophic factors, such as IGF-1, that might activate survival pathways at the level of spinal cord; see Dobrowolny et al., 2005; Kaspar et al., 2003);
2. to date any effort performed to cure ALS mouse models acting specifically on motor neurons failed miserably;
3. ALS is a multisystemic disease which involves different cell types and tissues, and, in my opinion, we can really attenuate the progression of the disease if we can start to consider using a combinatorial therapeutic approach, acting on motor neurons, glia, and muscle.

There are some intriguing questions that are not discussed in the manuscript.
1. Is SOD1 in muscle the cause of muscle atrophy, or is that due to loss of innervation? The results appear to suggest that the former is the case, and that mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle can prevent it. However, it is unclear how this relates to the previous study in which the authors knocked down SOD1 in muscle only.
2. If muscle mass is preserved, what is the nature of the weight loss that is used as a marker of disease onset in this study. Has lipid metabolism changed, and... Read more
2. If muscle mass is preserved, what is the nature of the weight loss that is used as a marker of disease onset in this study. Has lipid metabolism changed, and have the mice lost body fat? Could something else be going on?
3. The paper does not explore the effects of PGC-1α expression in the CNS. Would that be protective? If a pharmacological approach to enhance mitochondrial biogenesis was to be attempted in patients, it would likely have systemic effects, not limited to muscle. View all comments by Giovanni Manfredi

Published: 2/9/2013 7:25 PM | Last update: 2/15/2013 1:48 PM Gehring driven for moreGames People PlayJake Gehring has made sacrifices this school year. The Buhler High senior has forgone hunting trips. He's missed hanging out with friends most weekends and he's passed on attending a number of school-related activities.Wrestling is a four-month odyssey for most.
And everything he has done to this point - 35 wins in as many matches, most of them in dominant fashion - means nothing. He's the No. 2-ranked 152-pound wrestler in Class 4A and has beaten a number of state-ranked opponents. "The season starts now," he said. Gehring and his teammates - ranked sixth in the Kansas Class 4A - will open regional competition on Friday in Augusta and the senior will be brandishing a bull's-eye and a come-and-get-me-if-you-think-you-are-able attitude. If he can secure one of the top four places at regional -he is expected to take home the gold, mind you - he'll move onto the Kansas Class 4A meet the following Friday in Salina. These next two weeks represent the reason for every sacrifice Gehring made last fall and this winter. The senior has a chance to right what he perceived to be a serious lapse in judgment last year at the state meet, when he was there physically, but was in no way ready to compete. The kid who has walked away with a medal as a sophomore was quickly knocked out of last year's state meet. "I'm not going to make excuses," he said. "I just didn't show up at state. I can't blame anyone." That's been his fuel - his motivator - for the last year. "It's what keeps my head on straight right now," he said. "I don't want that to happen again so I stay focused. I think I just got a little complacent last year." Buhler wrestling coach Mike Juby has noticed it. "Jake's been on a mission ever since that state tournament," he said. Gehring took part in summer camps. He wrestled free style and Greco-Roman tournaments during the summer months and was also a mainstay in the Buhler weight room. While his friends were having fun, he was working out or working on his wrestling technique. Since the season began as soon as football season ended, his focus has been nothing but his next match. "Wrestling takes over your life," he said. "If you are not going to be committed to it, you probably shouldn't go out for it. It takes everything you've got going. You miss out on some stuff, but the benefits you get at the end of the season - going to state and possibly winning a championship - kind of even everything out." That said, the next two weeks - right or wrong - will determine if the last year was worth it. Clearly, it has been worth it. Gehring has worked hard to become one of the best high school wrestlers in Kansas. One tournament, albeit the biggest tournament of the season, won't change the level of success he has had this year. Then again, keep in mind this kid is driven to win it all. That said, Gehring likely is looking at this as a championship-or-bust proposition. "He's been on the podium and then he's not been on the podium," Juby said. "He knows that this is his last chance in high school. He is a very level headed, very intelligent kid. He will be fine with whatever happens, but I have no doubt in my mind that is the expectation. "His goal is nothing short of winning the whole thing. If he comes short, I am sure he will end up find, but I don't think that enters into his thought process." A perfect record gives him a reason to believe he's got a good chance to win it all - especially when you consider the type of competition he has faced this season. There have been three occasions this season when he has faced unbeaten state-ranked opponents in the finals of tournaments. All three times, he came away with the victory. He beat Columbus' Taylor Watkins in the finals of the Augusta tourney last month and two weeks later beat Ellis senior Gage Younger in the finals of the Hays Invitational. However, his biggest win of the year might have come last week in the finals of the Circle Invitational against Halstead's Alex Thibault. The two wrestled a defensive match before Gehring scored a take-down in the second overtime period to eek out the victory, win his weight class and take home honors as the tournament's outstanding wrestler. "You're always going to be defensive against a good wrestler, but I am going to try to stay on my game and attack most of the time," he said. But wrestling some of the best in the state is something that will help him in Salina, Juby said. "It's great that he is undefeated," Juby said. "It's great that he has all those victories, but if it was against average competition then when we get into state and he starts facing those tough bouts, he's in trouble. He's been tested. He's been under fire. He knows how to wrestlers and find a way to win." Some might point to a 35-0 record and believe that streaks create added pressure. That might be the case for someone not so focused. "Someone at school asked me if I feel pressure because I have won all my matches," he said. "I really don't. I am just focusing on my next match."

I have already recommended this course to others. I value the experience level, knowledge base, and professionalism portrayed by the instructor. I believe that my chances of receiving grant awards have been increased due to information provided in this course.
I have had some success with grant writing in the past, but I found this course INVALUABLE with helping me identify my areas of weakness. The system is terrific. Thank you.
I want to thank you for such an informative and convenient course! I've learned so much and have recently accepted a postion working with a local non-profit group as a grant writer. We have many programs on the burner, so my work is cut out for me. Again, thank you!
This course is a must for a Grant Writer at any point in their career! Such a wealth of information was given in this course - a true treasure chest!
I would like to express sincerest thank you and appreciation for your time and commitment to the pupils in this course and for the valuable, voluminous information you provided us. Even though you are in a paid capacity as professor, I still feel (as a dedicated educator myself- high school and college- level students) that you certainly have gone far beyond the "normal required expectancy" , which is often considered (my routine assignment) as your minimum level of professional commitment. I believe it is this certain amount of professionalism that truly sets apart a teacher/professor from a real educator/ instructor! I am witness to these qualities demonstrated in you throughout your performance in this online course! I can only guess at the significant impression you make on those students so "blessed" to actually sit in an actual classroom with you.
I have enjoyed your lessons! I am so excited about the things that I have learned in this course. I love the thorough explanation, the easy flo of the lessons, and the extra links to other sites.
Thanks again for your guidance, encouragement, and the list of funders in my area.
That was an incredible class. I learned so much. When I started this course my baby was just 2 months old. It was hard to always find the time to do everything but I completed all of the reading and learned a ton. I have now secured an internship with a local nonprofit in their development department and I'm going to be doing some research (paid) for a grant writer I know that needs to outsource some of their work load. Your writing style, the fast responses to discussions and the in depth description of everything that goes into grant writing blew me away. You are an incredible teacher. Thank you. I really appreciated this class.
Your class was most informative! I appreciate your passionate and encouraging writing style, and the way in which you presented the information in manageable parts to teach a process that is completely "doable." I appreciate your passion for the people and communities you help by enabling people like myself and other students to become grant writers who can, in turn, benefit others with the skills you have taught us. Thank you so much!
This was one of the best courses I have ever taken. Your vast experience and attention to detail, along with your obvious passion for what you do, shows in all of the lessons. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learning about grant writing. I plan to take more grant writing courses and possibly change careers into this field. Thank you!
