Constable: It's my best Oxford United strike
9:30am Monday 19th August 2013 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
James Constable edged closer to a century of Oxford United goals with a stunning strike at Torquay United which the striker rates as his best.
The 28-year-old chased a kick from Ryan Clarke and smashed a spectacular dipping 20-yard volley into the net just four minutes after coming on as a substitute.
It doubled the visitors' lead at Plainmoor and set them on the way to a 3-1 win which preserved United's place at the top of the Sky Bet League Two table.
Constable now has 95 goals for the club, just 12 short of Graham Atkinson's record and he believes his latest strike is the best of the lot.
He said: "I can't remember a cleaner strike than that. "There are a lot of times when the ball sits up like that and you think 'should I have a shot or not?', but I don't think I've hit a better one than that."
It all came after a pre-match prediction from Andy Whing.
"Whingy was saying beforehand 'you'll get a goal here today'," Constable said.
"Pretty soon after I came on there was a long ball from Clarkey, Deano (Smalley) challenged it and it sat up perfectly to be hit.
"The second it dropped over my head I knew Deano was out of the game and there was no-one else in close proximity, so it made my mind up.
"I just needed to make sure I got the cleanest connection I could. I didn't want to see it go out for a throw."
It all came after a first half in which Torquay, with the wind at their backs, made the visitors defend doggedly.
Constable said: "It could have been one of those days where we could have easily not picked up three points.
"It goes to show we are going in the right direction to put in a decent performance and get the win.
"As a player you take a lot from those performances where your backs are against the wall.
"We went behind in the first game of the season and came back to win.
"You're always learning different ways to try and get a result.
"The more ways we can do that between now and the end of the season the better chance we have of getting what we want.
"At this stage being top doesn't matter too much.
"I think it's only after 15-20 games if you're still top, then you can start looking ahead a bit."

Staff were excellent and extremely helpful.
Could do with a small snug area to 'hang out' on the reception area or ground floor.
Dear sirs, I would like to inform you that Our customer Dr. Seham who goes to USA to attend RSNA her check in was in 30/11/2013 and she supposed to check out in the same date but she hold out her stay in this hotel because she cannot stay with no restaurant or even room service to offer any hot/cold drinks or anything else on my account . so she found this situation is very difficult to her to continue her reservation. As she called the front man desk to told him that she want to do check out he reply her that this day 02/12/2013 will change on it.
Very nice and kind staff
Noisy air conditioning fan, too noisy. No restaurant.
I loved that we were just a couple blocks from all the shopping and the restaurants, it was very convenient!
Excellent location, only a 5 min walk to State St. etc
Nothing specific
Location, staff, comfort and tranquility of the room
A mere quibble: No channel listing for the TV was provided. So I had to do a lot of unnecessary surfing.....but this was just a minor annoyance.
The door man "show time" was very helpful with giving directions and suggestions for places to visit. I enjoyed my stay.
Great Amenities Well Maintained Cleanliness was okay
One of my bath towels was a bit dirty at edge, no big deal, just used a different one Wish it had a larger lounge area and restaurant stayed open later
Location ideal for exploring city centre; rooms well furnished and comfortable; bathroom well-appointed and modern.
Restaurant and bar - apparently run on a franchise basis - unavailable due to building work.
Location was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Comfortable room.
No refrigerator in room. No fan in the bathroom.
The staff and location are by far the best assets of the Blake. The staff offers great suggestions and advice on everything from where to go, how to get there and more. The hotel is located on Printer's Row and short (10 minute) walks to many sites in the city including the cbot, Millenium park, universities, and yes, awesome pizza. Feels pretty safe during the day and night. There's a city bike rental hub two blocks from the hotel. Hop on one and see the city!
While normally a good thing in a hotel, I found the room too large and empty. It was fine since I was just there to sleep but it felt a bit cold and uncomfortable. Non-existent view - ask for a higher floor with a view.
The staff is great! And I mean everybody, from the front desk to the housekeeping staff. In particular, the concierge was extremely helpful. He even helped me recover my cell phone after I left it at the cab that dropped me at the airport
location, friendliness and cleanliness
no microwave to use in the entire facility ( there should be one in the room). There was no heat - in October in Chicago? We were offered blankets - not a great solution
We were there to run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Location of the hotel was only a few blocks from the start/finish area which made it very conveinent. Staff was very helpful. The night doorman Showtime was very fun to talk to and knew the surrounding area and was able to get us discounts at surrounding resturants.
Room was a little cold despite our efforts to warm it up
Location was great
bar and restaurant closed. not aware of that at booking.
Great location close to Blue line from airport, Michigan avenue, Grant park and shopping. In the immediate area you have everything you need, 7-11, Starbucks and a great selection of bars all on the same street.
Breakfast/bar area was just the reception, however they are opening a new dinning area next door in October so this should change things substantially.
Location was great for me, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was great.
The air conditioning in my room did not work on day one of a four day. The staff put me in another (larger) room as a complimentary upgrade. The room change was appreciated.
The room was big and the bed very comfortable. The staff friendly, professional and very helpfull, especially the young lady who checked my party in.
the bar in reception was too small, although a new bar was due to open later in the month.
Very nice hotel in walking distance to most important sights. Spacious and nicely decorated room, good value for money...
The staff!!! From the moment we walked in the front door the concierge (Ron) and the desk clerk (Dan) made us feel that we were special! They were down to earth, genuinely kind and cared about our comfort and our concerns. It was not only a statement for the Wyndam Blake Chicago but all wyndam hotels.
Not to be Pollyanna but the truth is there are NO complaints and believe me usually I can find something!
Is very Poor facility as downtown hotel in Chicago
Need to swipe a credit card to use save box in the room The most ridiculous hotel to collect extra revenue from the clients and absolutely a rip off merchant.
Comfort of the room/bed Location Complimentary water Cleanliness Free wifi
Only one ice machine No mini fridge
Location was great. Staff was excellent and very helpful. The room was huge
No fridge in room Noisy on the outside (heard plenty of sirens throughout our stay) Wifi was spotty Needs more elevators
Friendly staff, Comfortable room.
The only downfall was some short hairs around the sink. It looked like they were just missed. The remainder was clean.
Good location, friendly staff, big and clean rooms, overall a very good hotel
The maid was very insisting. At 8am she knocked on our door, yelled "housekeeping" and she immediately entered.

Have you spotted a False Widow in your home?
4:20pm Sunday 29th September 2013 in News By Emma Rigby
BRITAIN'S most venomous spider has been spotted close to Northwich.
The False Widow spider, which has been known to cause amputations as a result of its poison, has reportedly been seen on more than 50 occasions in areas in London and Kent.
But now it seems to have migrated north after being spotted in Knutsford and Winsford over the last few days.
Station Road, Winsford resident Lisa Street saw one of the infampus arachnid clinging to an interior doorframe of her home in Station Road at 8am on Thursday, September 26.
Knutsford resident Jonathan Farber spotted the eight-legged creature when he went to close the window in his Grassfield Way property on Thursday afternoon.
The False Widow developed a large population in Devon after being transported to Britain in fruit from the Canary Islands.
Its distribution is expected to increase northwards due to warmer weather.
If bitten by the spider, experts recommend you immediately seek medical attention and tell them it was a false widow.
Symptoms can include pins and needles, mild chest pains and swelling near the area of the bite.

Another product category, which is vital in a balanced approach to Lawn Care, is named, Problem Solvers. The proper use and timing of these products is important. For instance, Jonathan Green Lawn Fungus Control is most cost effective if applied before an out break of turf disease. Pest Kill White Grub control insecticide provides a quick-kill when used on grubs soon after they hatch in August. Our Lawn Weed Control is great to use when you don't need to fertilize.
Finally our newest product release may be the best of all. I've named it, MAG-I-CAL, because it is a truly magical problem solver! This enhanced pelletized water soluble calcium, will rapidly raise soil pH providing a better growing environment for the desirable grasses in your lawn. These grasses like neutral soil, while weeds proliferate in acidic soils. Both the broad leaf weeds (dandelion) and grassy weeds (crabgrass) are easier to eliminate if your lawn has a pH of 6.0 or higher. Fortunately, MAG-I-CAL is the equivalent in neutralizing capacity to ten bags of pelletized limestone! This means that you can now substantially improve your lawns pH, at a lower cost, than in the past - and you won't have to lug home a lot of bags to do so.

The Real Malloys - Schooner Wharf, Key West
The Real Malloys, comprised of notorious Keys musicians Rob Sweet, Dr. Joe Pepper, and Steve Gibson, are a true alternative band for one simple reason: they play music that doesn't suck. Combining guitar, electric and upright bass, mandolin and the mischievous MandoBird, these guys play nothing but the good stuff - rock, folk, blues, country, swing, what have you - all with a twist you won't want to miss! No Jimmy Buffett, though.
Somehow New England, Mid-Atlantic, and The South converged in the Caribbean and became The Real Malloys. Rob Sweet, Dr. Joe Pepper, and Steve Gibson present a unique combination of talent, experience, and instrumentation with guitar, electric and upright bass, mandolin and the mischievous MandoBird. Rock, folk, blues, country, swing, and bluegrass get mixed up in a malleable melange of merriment, a melting pot of musical mayhem best described as "Malloyable Music."
But seriously, thanks to the support of our friends who care and the strangers we meet each week, the band has been coming together and getting better all the time. We take note of what people like or don't like about what we do, and adjust and adapt accordingly. That's one of the nice things about The Real Malloys. Our music incorporates a wide variety of genres, styles, and approaches. So if something a little out of the ordinary, even for us, comes along, we can accommodate it and not lose a step nor think twice.
We will be at Schooner Wharf Bar, a waterside bar once extolled by Charles Kuralt as being "the center of the known universe," on Monday evenings 7-11 PM.
If you can't make it, check it out on the webcam!
http://www.schoonerwharf.com/webcam.htm - you might need a plug-in.
And check out our new band page - search on The Real Malloys or try https://www.facebook.com/therealmalloys - videos at https://www.facebook.com/video/?id=188199971230512 - And if you do, click on the like button. Eventually the duplicate posts will go away ...
By the way, if anyone has the technological wizardry to record or download our performancs, we would appreciate it. Perhaps some of it could be used for demo purposes.

O'Fallon's assistant finance director has been promoted to the city's top fiscal position, according to Mayor Gary Graham.
Sandy Evans will take over as finance director, a position held for several years by Dean Rich who has retired.
Evans served as Rich's top deputy for five years and managed the city's budget for the past three years. She has a bachelor's degree in finance from Eastern Illinois University and experience in government and nonprofit finance. Recently, Evans led the electric aggregation initiative that Graham said will save O'Fallon residents 28 percent on their electricity bills.
"Given Sandy's commitment to our community for the past five years, her financial background and excellent leadership skills, Sandy is a perfect fit for the finance director position," Graham said.
City Administrator Walter Denton said Rich, who could not be reached Monday for comment, will be missed greatly by his co-workers.
Rich was responsible for transforming the City of O'Fallon into a modern organization, Denton said. "When Dean arrived in 1997, the City was $1 million in the hole with no financial system. We now have $4 million in working capital reserves, a full accrual accounting system, and professional finance staff.
"Dean oversaw the creation of a standardized accounting and budgeting system as well as leveraging technology for greater efficiency such as the remote water meter readers, Denton said. "O'Fallon has benefited greatly from Dean's public service and we will miss his financial stewardship."
On a personal note, Denton said of Rich: "I will miss his pragmatic advice, common sense, and colorful Tennessee vernacular."
Evans said she knows she has big shoes to fill. But she said she is ready for the challenge.
"I am excited and welcome this opportunity," Evans said. "My five years serving the citizens of O'Fallon as the deputy finance director has been fulfilling and has prepared me to further serve at this high level."
Robin Costello, who was recently hired as an accountant in the Finance Department, will take over Evans' previous responsibilities managing the city budget.

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
This information is about a chemotherapy| treatment called docetaxel (Taxotere®)| and cisplatin|. It's most commonly used to treat lung cancer| but may also be used for some other types of cancer|.
The treatment involves two chemotherapy drugs: docetaxel and cisplatin.
Your chemotherapy treatment will usually be given to you as a day patient, or occasionally you may need to stay in hospital overnight. Before you start treatment you'll need to have a blood test – either on the same day or a few days beforehand. You'll also have tests to check how well your kidneys are working as the chemotherapy can affect them. These may include collecting your urine for 24 hours, or having a specific blood test known as an EDTA test. You will also be seen by a doctor, specialist nurse or pharmacist.
If the results of your tests are normal, the pharmacy will prepare your chemotherapy drugs|. All of this may take a couple of hours.
Before you start the chemotherapy you'll be asked to take steroid| tablets. This helps to prevent an allergic reaction| to the docetaxel and can also help prevent sickness. It's very important to take these tablets and if for some reason you haven't taken them, you should let your doctor or nurse know before you start your chemotherapy.
When the chemotherapy drugs are ready the nurse will put a thin, flexible tube (cannula) into a vein in your hand or arm. You may find this uncomfortable or a little painful but it shouldn't take long. Some people have their chemotherapy through a line, which is inserted under the skin into a vein near the collarbone (central line|), or passed through a vein in the crook of their arm (PICC line|). Your doctor or nurse will explain more about this to you.
You'll be given anti-sickness (anti-emetic)| drugs, usually by injection through the cannula, central line or PICC line. Some anti-sickness drugs can be given as tablets.
Docetaxel and cisplatin are both given to you as a drip (infusion). They are given separately. The docetaxel (a colourless fluid) will be given over an hour, but cisplatin (a colourless fluid) may be given over a longer period of time. You'll be given extra fluids before and after the cisplatin. These extra fluids are given to you as an infusion. As this can take several hours, it may be necessary to stay in hospital overnight.
When your treatment is finished you can usually go home. The cannula will be removed before you go. If you have a central or PICC line it will usually stay in place, ready for the next cycle of your chemotherapy. You will be shown how to look after the line.
You'll be given a supply of anti-sickness drugs to take home with you. It's important to take these regularly even if you aren't feeling sick because it is easier to prevent sickness than to stop it once it has started.
Your doctor may use the word 'regimen|' (eg the docetaxel and cisplatin regimen) when talking about your chemotherapy. This means the whole plan or schedule of the particular treatment that you are receiving.
After you have been given docetaxel and cisplatin as described, you will have a rest period with no chemotherapy for the next three weeks. This completes what is called a cycle of your treatment. Each cycle lasts for 21 days (three weeks).
After the rest period the same drugs will be given to you again. Usually, treatment cycles are given every three weeks. These can be repeated up to 4–6 times. You'll be assessed during treatment and your doctor or nurse will advise you how many cycles of treatment you will need.
Each person's reaction to chemotherapy is different. Some people have very few side effects while others may experience more. The side effects described here won't affect everyone who is having treatment with docetaxel and cisplatin.
We have outlined the most common side effects but haven't included those that are rare and unlikely to affect you. If you notice any effects that aren't listed here, discuss them with your doctor, chemotherapy nurse or pharmacist.
Docetaxel and cisplatin can reduce the number of white blood cells, which help fight infection. White blood cells are produced by the bone marrow|. If the number of your white blood cells is low you will be more prone to infections|. A low white blood cell count is called neutropenia.
Neutropenia can begin 5–7 days after treatment and your resistance to infection usually reaches its lowest point 7–10 days after chemotherapy. The number of your white blood cells will then increase steadily and usually return to normal before your next cycle of chemotherapy is due.
You'll have a blood test before having more chemotherapy to check the number of white blood cells. Occasionally, your treatment may need to be delayed if your number of blood cells (blood count) is still low.
Docetaxel and cisplatin can reduce the production of platelets, which help the blood to clot. Tell your doctor if you have any unexplained bruising or bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood spots or rashes on the skin. You can have a platelet transfusion| if your platelet count is low.
Docetaxel and cisplatin can reduce the number of red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body.
A low red blood cell count is called anaemia. This may make you feel tired and breathless|. Tell your doctor or nurse if you have these symptoms. You may need to have a blood transfusion| if the number of red blood cells becomes too low.
This is common and may begin soon after the treatment is given and last for a few days. Occasionally it may last longer. Your doctor can prescribe very effective anti-sickness (anti-emetic) drugs to prevent or greatly reduce nausea and vomiting. If the sickness isn't controlled, or if it continues, tell your doctor; they can prescribe other anti-sickness drugs that may be more effective.
Some anti-sickness drugs can cause constipation|. Let your doctor or nurse know if this is a problem.
Occasionally during treatment you may get a strange, metallic or bitter taste in your mouth. Some people find sucking on a strongly flavoured sweet or mint helps to disguise this. You may also notice that food tastes different| but your normal taste will usually come back after treatment is over.
Your mouth may become sore| or dry, or you may notice small ulcers during this treatment. Drinking plenty of fluids, and cleaning your teeth regularly and gently with a soft toothbrush, can help to reduce the risk of this happening. Some people may find sucking on ice soothing. Tell your nurse or doctor if you have any of these problems, as they can prescribe mouthwashes and medicine to prevent or clear mouth infections.
Docetaxel and cisplatin can cause diarrhoea|. This can usually be easily controlled with medicine but tell your doctor if it is severe or continues. It's important to drink plenty of fluids if you have diarrhoea.
Some people lose their appetite| while they're having chemotherapy. This can be mild and may only last a few days. If it doesn't improve you can ask to see a dietitian or specialist nurse at your hospital. They can give you advice on improving your appetite and keeping to a healthy weight|.
This usually starts 2–3 weeks after the first dose of docetaxel, although it may occur earlier. Hair usually falls out completely. You may also have thinning and loss of eyelashes, eyebrows and other body hair|. This is usually temporary and your hair will almost always start to grow again once the treatment has finished. Your hair may grow back straighter, curlier, finer, or a slightly different colour than it was before treatment. Your nurse can give you advice about coping with hair loss|.
A skin rash can sometimes occur while you are having treatment with docetaxel. It's important to let your doctor know if this happens. Your doctor can prescribe medicine to help with this.
Sometimes areas of skin that have been treated with radiotherapy| may become red and sore. Tell your doctor if this happens.
This is due to the effect of docetaxel or cisplatin on nerves and is known as peripheral neuropathy|. You may also notice that you have difficulty doing up buttons or similar fiddly tasks.
Tell your doctor if you notice any numbness or tingling in your hands or feet. It's important to report your symptoms to your doctor as they may be controlled by slightly lowering the dose of the drug.
This side effect usually improves slowly, a few months after the treatment has finished. Sometimes symptoms can persist; talk to your doctor if this happens.
The colour of your nails may change. They may become darker and white lines may appear on them. These usually grow out over several months once the treatment has finished. Some people have pain in the nail bed at the base of the nail but this is rare.
You may notice that you gain weight and/or that your ankles and legs swell. This decreases slowly once your treatment has finished. To help reduce the chance of fluid retention you will be given steroid tablets (usually dexamethasone) to take for three days, beginning the day before treatment.
Feeling tired| is a common side effect of chemotherapy, especially towards the end of treatment and for some weeks after it's over. It's important to try to pace yourself and get as much rest as you need. Try to balance this with taking some gentle exercise, such as short walks, which will help. If tiredness is making you feel sleepy, don't drive or operate or machinery.
Some people can have an allergic reaction to docetaxel while it's being given. Signs of this can include skin rashes and itching, a high temperature, shivering, dizziness, a headache and breathlessness.
Usually you'll be given steroid tablets to take at home the day before treatment to reduce the chance of this happening. It's important to take the steroid tablets as you have been directed. Instead of steroid tablets, you may be given a steroid by injection into a vein (intravenously) 30–60 minutes before the docetaxel. Other drugs such as antihistamines may also be injected into a vein before your treatment to prevent an allergic reaction.
You'll be closely monitored for any signs of an allergic reaction during the treatment. Tell your doctor or nurse if you have any of these symptoms. If you do have a reaction, it can be treated quickly.
Docetaxel can cause pain along the vein that is used to give you your chemotherapy. If you feel any pain, tell your doctor or nurse straight away so that they can check the infusion site. They may slow the infusion down to reduce pain.
Cisplatin may cause ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and you may lose the ability to hear some high-pitched sounds. Hearing loss can be more severe with higher doses and longer courses of treatment. Very occasionally, your sense of balance may be affected. Any hearing loss, and balance changes if they occur, may be permanent. However, tinnitus usually improves when treatment ends. Tell your doctor if you notice any loss of hearing or tinnitus.
This may be caused by docetaxel. It is important to tell your doctor about this, so they can prescribe painkillers| to help.
This may be caused by docetaxel and is temporary. You may also notice that your eyes become sore and inflamed (conjunctivitis). Let your doctor know so they can prescribe soothing eye drops if necessary.
Cisplatin can affect your kidneys|. This doesn't usually cause any symptoms and the effect is generally mild. Rarely, it may cause permanent damage to the kidneys unless the treatment is stopped.
Before each treatment, your kidneys will be checked by a blood test. You'll be given fluid through a drip (infusion) before and after the treatment to keep your kidneys working normally. You may be asked to measure and record what you drink and the amount of urine you pass. It's important to tell your nurse or doctor if you pass less urine than usual.
If necessary, you may be given medicine to help you pass urine. You may be asked to drink extra fluid before and after treatment. It's important to do this so let your doctor know if this is a problem, for example, if you are feeling sick.
It's important to let your doctor know straight away if you feel unwell or have any severe side effects, even if they're not mentioned above.
Cancer can increase the risk of developing a blood clot (thrombosis), and chemotherapy may increase this risk further.
A blood clot may cause symptoms such as pain, redness and swelling in a leg, or breathlessness and chest pain. Blood clots can be very serious so it's important to tell your doctor straight away if you notice any of these symptoms. Most clots can be treated with drugs that thin the blood. The doctor or nurse can give you more information.
Some medicines, including those that you can buy in a shop or chemist, can be harmful to take when you are having chemotherapy. Tell your doctor about any medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, complementary therapies| and herbal drugs|.
Your ability to become pregnant or father a child may be affected by having this treatment. It's important to discuss fertility| with your doctor before starting treatment.
It's not advisable to become pregnant or father a child while having docetaxel and cisplatin as it may harm the developing baby. It's important to use effective contraception while taking these drugs, and for at least a few months afterwards. You can discuss this with your doctor or nurse.
It's not known whether chemotherapy drugs can be present in semen or vaginal fluids. To protect your partner it's safest to either avoid sex or use a barrier form of contraception for about 48 hours after chemotherapy.
Due to the effect of chemotherapy on the ovaries, women may find that their periods become irregular and they may eventually stop.
In some women this may be temporary, but for others it will be permanent. This will result in menopausal symptoms| such as hot flushes, sweats and vaginal dryness.
If you're admitted to hospital for a reason not related to the cancer, it's important to tell the doctors and nurses looking after you that you are having chemotherapy treatment. You should tell them the name of your cancer specialist so that they can ask for advice.
It's a good idea to know who you should contact if you have any problems or troublesome side effects when you're at home. Your chemotherapy nurse or doctor will give you details of who to contact for advice. This should include 'out-of hours' contact details if you need to call someone at evenings, overnight or at the weekend.

GIIP's Vision
The Global Information Internship Program (GIIP) is a highly innovative educational and service-learning program sponsored by the Center for Global, International, and Regional Studies (CGIRS) at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Since 1998, hundreds of GIIP undergraduate student interns have worked to democratize globalization, support world peace, raise environmental awareness, and promote gender equity by upgrading the informational capacity of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community groups around the world.
GIIP merges the enthusiasm of student leaders with information technology to promote structural social change by building social networking capacity across non-governmental and community-based organizations.
The world is becoming smaller every day, but rapid globalization has contributed to an insidious inequality: informational exclusion. To ensure that all peoples have adequate access to the dynamic power unleashed by the information technology revolution, GIIP aims to prepare a new generation of students to bridge the digital divide and put their studies into action while supporting social justice advocacy.
GIIP's goal is create a new generation of "info-savvy" advocates using information technology to overcome informational exclusion–based barriers to civic participation and social justice. The learning goes both ways: While advancing the larger public good, GIIP students accumulate valuable technical knowledge, while sharpening their leadership and project management skills.
GIIP interns join NGOs across the globe to help shape their information infrastructure and train local groups to maintain and expand their use of technological tools. From human rights organizations in Namibia to coffee farm collectives in Central America, GIIP interns partner with their hosts to build the NGOs' technological capacity to promote communication, support their mission, and raise awareness of their causes.
GIIP applies "learning by doing" as the best method to teach non-profit management and the transfer of information technology.
Accordingly, GIIP is managed by student Fellows, who constitute a self-governing body of "stakeholders" to collectively manage the GIIP program with the advice of faculty, sponsors, and staff mentors. All curriculum, resource, and planning decisions are reviewed and approved by the GIIP Fellows, who recruit and interview new members annually.

It is among the most common recommendations you will hear: Get more exercise. In fact, it is so commonly recommended, I suspect many people stopped listening long ago. My mother says she hates going to the doctor because all she's ever told is to eat right and exercise more. At least, that's her version. The Problems of Too Little Exercise In all fairness to my mother's doctors, it is hard to overstate the benefits of regular exercise in reducing the risk of a variety of diseases. Among the many illnesses or conditions that become less likely when you exercise regularly are:
Even with all these benefits, it is worth acknowledging that exercise is not always beneficial. If you are looking for a reason not to exercise, this is news you may welcome: It can be bad for you. Researchers interested in the effects of exercise have noticed that sometimes the health effects of exercise are in the "wrong" direction. Injuries, heart attacks, and other negative effects of exercise can be observed in certain situations. Although on balance, the effect of exercise is overwhelmingly positive, there are some "costs" to consider when seeking the benefits. The Problems With Exercise Some health problems associated with exercise are self-evident: sports related injuries, such as a fracture or ligament injury (sprain) that follows trauma. But others are not so predictable: back pain related to twisting motions, stress fracture due to repetitive minor trauma (including running), knee pain or tendonitis due to overuse. And not all exercise has the same risks. For example, fractures and sprains are more likely if you are subject to significant trauma or if you do too much. Sudden, high intensity exercise, especially if you are not used to it, can put more stress on the heart. In fact, studies have found a small but increased risk of sudden death (presumably from a heart attack or irregular heart rhythm) in people who exercise heavily after being inactive. Young women who exercise to the point of having little body fat may not ovulate or menstruate. This puts them at risk of osteoporosis and at higher risk of fracture. When associated with an eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa, excessive (or obsessive) exercise can lead to even more serious health problems. A recent study found that marathoners had changes in their blood during and just after the race that might put them at risk of a heart attack. This followed the observation that approximately one in 50,000 seemingly healthy marathoners experiences sudden death from cardiac cause. The study looked at healthy runners who ran a marathon without incident and had blood tests after the race. A pattern of "thickened" blood was observed that could increase the risk of heart attack. Perhaps unrecognized heart disease or other risk factors combine with such changes to contribute to or provoke the rare cases of sudden death. Trying To Do the Right Thing If you are trying hard to exercise regularly, the "dark side" of exercise should not deter you. Instead, look at your current or planned exercise to see if there are ways to reduce your chances of encountering an exercise-related health problem. Here are some general guidelines:
The Bottom Line While it can be easy to define what constitutes too little exercise (especially if you don't exercise at all), it is much harder to define what is too much. And even if you aren't doing too much, problems can arise. Ideally, exercise should only improve our health without putting it at risk; unfortunately, as with many things, there are two sides to the equation. Try to put the sensational news items in perspective. With some minor adjustments, it is possible to avoid the significant risks associated with slothfulness as well as those smaller ones associated with exercise. Robert H. Shmerling, M.D. is associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School.

Boonsong facing rice scheme probe
The National Anti-Corruption Commission has decided to set up two subcommittees to investigate Commerce Minister Boonsong Teriyapirom for alleged irregularities in the government's rice-pledging scheme, NACC member Klanarong Chanthik said on Tuesday.
- Published: 4/12/2012 at 05:06 PM
- Newspaper section: breakingnews
Mr Klanarong said the commission was responding to complaints filed with the NACC by Warong Dejkijwikrom, a Democrat Party MP for Phitsanulok, and other people.
The complaints and evidence attached to them carried enough weight for the NACC to set up two subcommittees to investigate Mr Boonsong.
If other people were later found to be involved, they would be summoned for questioning.
Information on alleged corruption in the rice-pledging scheme given by Mr Warong and other MPs during the no-confidence debate would also be taken for consideration, he said.
Today's meeting of the NACC also decided to set up a subcommittee to investigate a petition seeking the removal of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Defence Minister Sukumpol Suwanatat over alleged irregularities in the transfer of high-level officers of the Defence Ministry, Mr Klanarong said.

2014 NCAA BIG TEN BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT INFORMATION: Location: Indianapolis, Indiana Venue: Bankers Life Fieldhouse Games: 11 total, divided into 6 sessions over 4 days Dates: March 13-16, 2014 Big Ten Tournament Bracket
Previous Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament Winners:
The Big Ten Conference dates back all the way back to its formation in 1896, and is the nation's oldest athletic conference. It has been known primarily as a football conference during much of its history, but has seen dramatic growth in men's basketball over the past few decades. The conference has seen hugely successful teams like Michigan's Fab Five in the early '90s and the stellar Bob Knight-coached Indiana teams of the 1980s. With the epic growth of the NCAA Tournament, the Big Ten decided to get in on the action and became one of the last conferences to create its own tournament in 1996 instead of relying on the regular season record. The first tournament was held in 1998 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, with the University of Michigan taking the title. The following year, Iowa shocked the basketball world by becoming the lowest seed in Big Ten tournament history to win the championship after knocking off Indiana in the title game. With the expanded pool of NBA-ready talent that the Big Ten features each year, the playoff system has undoubtedly strengthened the conference and the quality of recruits that are now choosing Big Ten schools over traditional powerhouses. Additionally, four times during the tournament's history the winner has made it all the way to the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament. This elevated level of competition has assuredly prepared many Big Ten teams for the spotlight of the national playoff, the greatest example being Michigan State capturing the sole National Championship in 2000 under the direction of coach Tom Izzo. Over the course of the tournament's history, Ohio State has taken the most titles out of all of the participants by winning in 2002, 2007, 2010 and 2011. Michigan State, Illinois and Wisconsin each have two championships, while Purdue won its first in 2009. Traditionally, the Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament alternated between the United Center in Chicago and the Banker's Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, but Indy enjoyed a five-year run starting in 2008. The 2013 season will feature the cycling between the two venues again to give Big Ten fans from all over the region a chance to see their teams in action. With a bevy of growing basketball powerhouses, the Big Ten looks to continue its growth as one of the strongest athletic conferences in the United States.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION As days get shorter and sleeves get longer, Baxter Brewing releases its fall seasonal, Hayride Autumn Ale. A generous portion of two rye malts give the beer a full body, bready flavor, and subtle spiciness; while toasted malts provide a touch of sweetness and a rich, almost reddish hue. New Zealand Pacifica and Pacific Jade hops balance Hayrides maltiness and suggest notes of oranges and tropical fruit. Finally, we cold-condition the beer on oak, with light additions of ginger, black pepper, and orange peel, bringing out the spiciness of the rye and rounding out the soft sweetness of the beer. Hayride will give a touch of warmth for those cool fall nights, while remaining deliciously drinkable.

Smells like raisins and figs. Got that smell that Belgians usually have, but with a dark, rich fruity flavor. The taste reminds me of figs, raisins, an d plumb skins. The mouth feel is good and a little complex. Makes my tastebuds think. First time I've had a beer like this. I really enjoy it.

No dating indicated on bottle. Interesting "trippy" label. We consumed this beer from Rose and Crown Pub English nonic style glasses. The cork released with a loud "pop" almost propelling itself from my fingers as I broke it loose from its firm grasp of the bottle. Quite chill hazed and bronze in color with some red hues in the mix. Off white 2-3 finger bubbly head leaves behind large webbing of lace. Highly vinous but slightly sweet vinegar to the nose backed my nutty brown malt. Flavor is very fruity, sweet, and quite tart verging on sour. Toasted malt lingers but is overcome by the tartness. Really not much in the way of hop bitterness. There is an obvious woody oak character in the back of this beer. Carb is pleasant and somewhat silky and feel is full. 9% abv provides dryness and warmth. All this leads me to think of this as a Flanders red ale more than what I perceive as a Belgian Dark Strong. The abv and location of the brewery in extreme South Belgium just miles from France has much to do with this terminology as well. I feel this is probably a beer that should be savored slowly with a meal at the dinner table to fully appreciate it. Serving type: bottle 10-17-2013 14:45:08 | More by DelMontiac |

More than 500 million years ago a set of specialized enzymes and proteins evolved to defend our primitive ancestors against assaults from the outside world. If a microbe breached the shell of some Cambrian-era fauna, the members of this early vintage immune system would stage a savage but coordinated attack on these interlopers—punching holes in cell walls, spitting out chemical toxins or simply swallowing and digesting the enemy whole. Once the invaders were dispatched, the immune battalion would start to heal damaged cells, or if the attacked cells were too badly damaged it would put them to rest.
This inflammatory immune response worked so well that many aspects of it have been preserved during the protracted aeons of evolution. We know this to be true because studies have found that we share many of the same immune genes as the lowly fruit fly—and vertebrates and invertebrates diverged from a common ancestor in excess of half a billion years ago.

text: Story and photo courtesy of N.C. State Athletics RALEIGH, N.C. - Dave Doeren has made his mom proud. There was a time, though, right before he started his senior football season at Drake, that Doeren's Irish-Catholic mother was not happy that her son decided to switch from his long-time career path of going to medical school to become a college football coach. All it took was a brief stint as the seven-on-seven coach of his high school football team that gave the academic All-American student the fever to become a football coach. "It was the funnest three hours I have ever had in my life," Doeren said. "I knew from that moment on that I was going to be a coach. I didn't know how long it would take, but I knew it's what I wanted to do." In the 17 years since that summer, Doeren has never regretted veering off the path of a medical career. He has used his people skills and his smarts - he was an academic All-American at Drake - to dissect football plays and heal programs, from Kansas to Wisconsin, where he had assistant coach and coordinator positions, to Northern Illinois, where he won two Mid-American Conference championships as a head coach. On Saturday, Doeren was named the head coach at NC State. Neither Doeren nor Wolfpack director of athletics Debbie Yow - who always had the 41-year-old up-and-comer at the top of her candidate list - could be happier. "There is a long line of people who would want to be in my shoes today," Doeren said at his introductory press conference. "All I can tell you is that I didn't take any shortcuts to get here. I've been coaching 17 years on the college level. I've lined the field, driven the bus; I've been a graduate assistant twice and a high school coach. I was a Division I-AA non-scholarship coach, a I-AA scholarship assistant coach, a co-coordinator, a recruiting coordinator, a head coach at a mid-major college and now the head coach at NC State. "All I can say is, I'm jacked up about it. I am excited to be a part of this program." Yow was excited to land him too, even if it meant waiting for Doeren's Northern Illinois team to play in Friday night's MAC Championship game at Ford Field in Detroit. The Huskies beat Kent State 44-37 in double overtime to win it second consecutive title. She had identified Doeren as her top candidate early in the process, thanks primarily to Doeren's agent, Jordan Bazant, who also happens to be the agent for NC State basketball coach Mark Gottfried. Yow and Bazant are used to speaking regularly about Gottfried, but last week they spoke frequently about Doeren and arranged an Saturday's interview in DeKalb, Ill. Yow was about 20 minutes into her sales pitch when Doeren stopped her cold. "I already know I want the job," he told her, "if you want to have me." The two spent the rest of the day talking, with Yow affirming the belief she had from the beginning: Doeren was the best fit to take over the Wolfpack. "He brings to NC State the total package of skills and values that will be required to elevate our program to national prominence over time," Yow said. "What I really liked about him is that he is very smart. He was an academic All-American. He is a bright coach." Yow said she offered Doeren $1.8 million per year for the next five years, with multiple performance incentives. Doeren had been sold on the state of North Carolina for years, ever since he took his first fly-fishing trip to the Great Smoky Mountains shortly after his first son was born. That was more than a decade ago, and he's been back for meetings in Charlotte, coaching visits to Boone and another family vacation at Lake Lure last summer. Doeren grew up right outside of Kansas City, where he was a big fan of the Royals' George Brett and the Chiefs' Dino Hackett. He also grew up watching his grandfather, Thomas Glennon, coach high school basketball and track. He loved the respect his grandfather commanded from his players, even after he retired from coaching. He had set in his mind to be a doctor when he left for college in Des Moines, Iowa, but his brief brush with seven-on-seven football ignited the passion for coaching he was born with. "It's definitely in my blood," he said. Doeren has lived the vagabond life of a coach, with stops at Drake, Kansas, Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. He's had little contact with NC State and the ACC, other than having the unenviable task in 2003, as Kansas' defensive coordinator, of coming up with a plan to stop Philip Rivers and Jerricho Cotchery in their final college football game. The Wolfpack beat the Jayhawks 56-26 in the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Fla. But his former boss, Jeff Compher, was an administrator at NC State for 13 years during the 1980s and `90s, and had nothing but the highest praise for the school. As much as Compher didn't want Doeren to leave, he knew that his coach would fall in love with the school and Raleigh. "It seemed like NC State was always a program that was very close to getting to the next step," Doeren said. "I felt like I could make a difference here." Doeren has recruited Florida, and he is keen on keeping North Carolina's best players in the state at home to play college football. He spoke at length about his recruiting philosophy during his 41-minute press conference and the private interviews that followed. "We will recruit the right way," Doeren said. "We will recruit extremely hard. We will involve the high school coaches. We will involve them. We will turnover every stone, starting with the stones that are in state. We will fight for every kid we think belongs here. If we don't get one, it won't be for lack of effort. "Recruiting is competition and relationships. I love both those things." Doeren is excited about the challenges he will face when the team returns home from the Pack's bowl game later this month. He isn't going to shy away from the transition the program will undergo over the next four months until spring practice and the next nine months before preseason practice begins. "I am not sure what all the challenges are here at State, but I do look forward to all of them," Goeren said. "As a head coach, there is a new fire everyday that you put out. I look forward to each of those fires. Whatever they are, we will take them on, one at a time. "I love that part of my job."
